SCP-3819 | safe | SCP-3819 Item #: SCP-3819 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3819 and a single copy of SCP-3819-1 are to be stored within a secure storage locker at Site-73 and removed only for testing. Testing of any of the 'trials' stipulated in SCP-3819-1 beyond the 'Seventh Trial' is expressly forbidden. Any instances of SCP-3819-1 created during testing of SCP-3819 are to be incinerated once testing concludes. Personnel working with SCP-3819 are subject to surveillance and will be met with disciplinary action if found personally attempting any 'trials' beyond the 'First Trial'. Description: SCP-3819 is a golden box that outwardly resembles a larnax, a type of container used by ancient Aegean civilizations to store human remains. Forensic analysis has concluded SCP-3819 was created in the 20th century using contemporary means. SCP-3819 possesses no anomalous physical properties. When SCP-3819 is opened, a copy of SCP-3819-1 will appear within it. Extensive testing has demonstrated this effect occurs instantaneously, with SCP-3819-1 not existing within the box until it is opened. A copy of SCP-3891 will always appear so long as the box is empty when opened, allowing for the production of theoretically infinite copies. SCP-3819-1 is a standard sheet of modern printer paper with a message typed in Times New Roman font. Every copy of SCP-3819-1 is wholly identical in all properties. SCP-3819-1's text exhibits a minor anomalous effect upon being read or viewed, causing subjects to perceive its text as written in the language they are most fluent in. SCP-3819-1's text details thirteen 'trials' to be completed by the subject in order to have the 'object of their greatest desire' appear within SCP-3819. Only the 'First Trial' is visible on a newly created copy of SCP-3819-1. Upon completion of the 'First Trial' by a subject, text describing the 'Second Trial' will appear below it. This effect will continue with all subsequent 'trials'; once a 'trial' is completed, the text describing the next 'trial' will appear beneath it. SCP-3819-1 has been shown to visibly lengthen as necessary to accommodate the additional text. A copy of SCP-3819-1 will perceive any subject who reads it as a participant in its 'trials', appearing unable to recognize any distinctions between subjects. It will recognize any subject's completion of the latest 'trial' available regardless of individual progress. It has proven able to detect when a subject has completed one of its 'trials' regardless of distance. Testing has confirmed that SCP-3819-1 possesses no cognitohazardous, compulsive, or memetic properties. A transcript of the initial copy of SCP-3819-1 recovered is available below. Hello! If you're reading this, you've been given a rare opportunity, a most rare opportunity indeed! After all, it's not just every day that one is given the means to make their deepest desires come true! Desire, more intoxicating than the finest wine… don't pretend you do not possess it. Everyone wants something, and there is always something that everyone wants more than anything else. Without desire, humanity would not be humanity. Throughout the history of that very same humanity, so very many have sought to fulfill their desires, no matter the sacrifice. Alas, this world is far too cruel, and so very many fall short or are never given the opportunity to begin with. An unfulfilled desire is like a child killed before it can even begin to reach its potential… there is no greater tragedy. This little box will change that. I tell no lies, and make nothing but guarantees. Below my little message here are descriptions of thirteen trials you must take, thirteen trials that will push you to your very limits… but certainly not beyond them. Each and every one of them is more than doable, no matter the world's unfairness. You may see only one now, but once you complete the first, you will understand… and you will understand that I am telling you the truth about what this box offers. If you fulfill the thirteen trials of this box, the object of your deepest desire will appear within it, no matter what it might be. Infinite riches? Infinite happiness? Infinite life? The object of one's desire can be anything and everything, and it can fit within even an box. No matter the depths of your desire, no matter how dark or deep or primal it may be, this box is guaranteed to fulfill it. I swear to you that if you complete these challenges, that which you most desire will be in your grasp, and you will know the height of satisfaction. Shall we begin? The First Trial The First Trial Your first trial really is a simple one… you need only walk a thousand miles. It doesn't matter how long it takes. It doesn't matter where you go. Everything is and always will be up to you. If you are forced to fulfill your desire, it's not fulfilling your desire at all. To pursue one's own desires is the essence of freedom. You can even forget all about this little box as you go on your merry way. You won't forget what happens once you finish. The journey of a thousand miles shall begin with a thousand miles. The Second Trial The Second Trial Well done, so very well done! You have taken the first step on your journey… well, quite a lot more than just a single step. You have proven that you are unwilling to give up on your dreams, that you will at least make an attempt, and that's more meaningful than anything. Now that you've started, now that you've proven something so little yet so big to yourself, you must keep going. The second trial too is quite simple. You need merely climb a mountain. Once again, the choice is yours, and it always will be. Any mountain will do, no matter how small. Small beginnings can lead to greatness, you know. The mountain will be the first of many obstacles, and I know you can conquer it. I absolutely believe in you. Shout out to the world that the height of your desire is greater than any mere mountain! The Third Trial The Third Trial Would you look at that! You have proven yourself more persistent and resilient than those around you! Not just anyone can walk a thousand miles! Not just anyone can climb a mountain! You have conquered the summit; you have conquered the first thing standing in the way of your desire! You can keep going, I know you can! With two trials down already, you must keep going! This third trial will test you in ways you've never been tested before… but I know you can do it. Look at what you've already accomplished. You can do this. For your third trial, you must punch a shark. Brave and clever though you are, I wouldn't be surprised if reading that made you do a double take. I assure you, it's far easier than it sounds, and as always is your choice. Even the smallest of sharks will do. Fish one up or go find a beached one or even boop one on the snout at an aquarium touch pool… it really is quite simple. To punch the selachian menace is show your willingness to fight for your desire, to say "I will punch even a shark to make my dreams come true!" to the world! You can do it! You can do anything it takes, I know it! The Fourth Trial The Fourth Trial You have accomplished it my good friend, you have punched one of the world's most frightening creatures! Very very few can boast of having punched a shark! You have shown the strength of your desire! You have shown what you are willing to do for your desire! We're almost a third of the way to the finish line… I know you can do it. You have the ability to make your desire come true. The fourth trial is another simple one, because you deserve a break after your shark punching. For the fourth trial, you need merely kill an animal. It can be any animal. It can be something as simple as an ant, or you could even go so far as to kill a cute little cat or dog. All you need to do is kill it. It can be painless, of course. You need to be willing to show that you can and will sacrifice for your desire. Besides, it is just an animal after all. Every day you eat the results of slaughtered animals… this one will die for something truly meaningful. This one will die for your desire. The Fifth Trial The Fifth Trial I knew you could do it! I always have had and always will have absolute faith in you! You've come so very far! We're nearly halfway there! It'd really be a shame to stop now, wouldn't it? We mustn't let that animal's sacrifice become meaningless. We shall make sure that it in death it accomplishes so much more than in life… and makes your desire come true. Your fifth trial is quite simple, and surely no challenge at all after what you've faced. You need merely rid yourself of your most prized possession. The choice, as ever, is yours. You can sell it. I know that you even have the resolve to destroy it, if that's what you choose to do. You must be willing to discard what you have now to seize what you might have in the future. You must be willing to proclaim that what you currently treasure is nothing at all compared to the object of your desire! You must get rid of the past and seize a future with your desire with your own two hands! The Sixth Trial The Sixth Trial I knew you would come this far, I knew that someone as strong and as passionate as you would not falter or give up, but even so I am delighted! My expectations were sky high, and you're still performing beyond them! What you've rid yourself of must seem so small now, now that the object of your desire is so very close! It will pave the way for something far far more valuable! Your sixth trial is another easy one, honestly. It's not that I don't believe in you, I promise! I just don't want to make things too hard for you… I don't want to make things unfair for you. You deserve your desire, I know it! For your sixth trial, all you need do is commit a crime. It can be as simple as a misdemeanor or as dramatic and awesome as a felony. You can even do a little jaywalk if you need a break! You must understand that the law serves only to constrain you and confine you, to keep you from your desire. You must learn to break away from its cycle. If the law stands between you and your desire, it is the law that is in the wrong. The Seventh Trial The Seventh Trial I knew you could do it, and I knew you could get away with it! You are not a criminal now, oh no. You are beyond something like evil, for desire is something more pure than it could ever be, and will always be right. Look what you've managed to accomplish, look what you've managed to do! You're more than halfway done! Your desire is nearly within your grasp! You can get it! You will get it! I know that you won't give up now! Your seventh trial is where things start to get hard, but I know that you will manage to do it! No matter the challenge, you have proven that you will rise up to it! You have, can, and will prove your desire will conquer all! For your seventh trial, you will break your own hand. I assure you, it doesn't have to be painful. You may be on all the painkillers you wish. You must be willing to show your resolve. If you can do such a thing to yourself, you can do such a thing to anyone. You can break every obstacle between you and your desire. The Eighth Trial The Eighth Trial Look at this! Look at your resolve! Look at your courage and strength! There is no one else, not a single person in this world, that has come so far for their desire! You are greater than any hero or god! You are so close, I know you can feel it! You musn't stop now! You can't stop now! You have discarded that which you don't need, you have broken yourself for your desire! Your desire cannot be stopped, I am sure of it! It will not be stopped! Your eighth trial is simple, honestly. It is something that one as strong as you can do easily. For your eighth trial, you need merely take the life of another human being. The choice is yours; you are in control. It needn't be someone you know. It needn't be painful. You can pick a criminal, or someone you know who is wasting their life and potential. A life is nothing before your desire. So many lives end in this cruel and unfair world meaninglessly every day. This one shall end for your desire, and finally fulfill its true potential in doing so. The Ninth Trial The Ninth Trial You have proven so much. You are, without a doubt, the single strongest person in this world. Others kill for hatred or money. You kill for the purest of feelings. You kill to make a dream come true that couldn't happen any other way. The person you've used to help you reach your desire will surely rest easy. Their life won't be a waste any longer. They are now part of the path to your desire. The ninth trial is easy. After all, I'm sure killing that person was quite easy. You may have felt bad at the time, misplaced feelings of regret, but you feel better now, don't you? You're so close to your desire after all. For your ninth trial, all you need to do is cut off your broken hand and place it within the box. Easy and even painless, right? It's already useless to you after all. It won't help you attain your desire. Even though it's so easy, there's no one else that would sacrifice their flesh for their desire. Prove what fools they are. If it won't help you attain your desire, it must be discarded. The Tenth Trial The Tenth Trial Look at you! Look at how far you've come! You have shown courage no one else would! You have sacrificed that which cannot be taken back! You can't stop now! You mustn't stop now! Only a mere four trials left, and you've completed nine! Even with but one hand, I know you can achieve it! Your desire is so close to coming to fruition! So very very close! I know I keep repeating myself, but this tenth trial is easy too. After all, you've already rewarded someone by using their life to attain your desire. If you've already sliced off your own flesh, it's child's play to slice off another person's, isn't it? For the tenth trial, you need merely bleed out an acquaintance into the box. Someone that you know the name of. Not even a friend. Not even family. Just someone who's had the good fortune to know who you are and be able to help you attain your desire. Fill the box with their blood until it overflows. It will fuel your desire, and know greater purpose than ever before. The Eleventh Trial The Eleventh Trial We are so close it's unbelievable, but I knew this day would come. I never once lost faith in you. I never once stopped believing in you. You've come farther than anyone else has. The lives you have taken will find greater purpose and meaning than ever before. If they didn't understand as they passed on to a better place, I'm sure they do now. They have aided the greatest and purest thing of all. They have become part of your desire. You mustn't let their sacrifices be in vain. You must keep going. It is your responsibility. It is your destiny. I'm sure you must be annoyed at how often I say it, but the eleventh trial should be easy for you too. After all, what isn't easy before your desire, with what you've accomplished so far? For your eleventh trial, all you have to do is slice open a dear friend. I'm sure it will be easier than cutting off your hand. Slice them open before the box that will give you your desire, and decorate it with the insides of your friend. Their intestines and stomach and lungs and heart will fill the box, and fill your heart, and fulfill your desire. After all, if they are your dear friend, they would want to help you fulfill your desire. The Twelfth Trial The Twelfth Trial We're here. We're on the very cusp, the very precipice. You have done so very well. You have done so very much. You have come so very far. We're nearly at the end now. Envision it in your mind's eye. Envision your desire. It is closer than you can even imagine. You have given so many now greater purpose. You have proven that your desire is stronger than anything else. Your desire will conquer every obstacle. Your desire cannot and will not be stopped. This second to last trial will pave the way for the final trial, and then your longest held desire will come true. For this twelfth trial, all you have to do is offer your family to the box, as many as you can. What do parents exist for if not to grant the wishes of their children? What does a partner exist for if they're not willing to support you? What does a child exist for if not to give their parents meaning? You've sacrificed so much and come so far, you can't stop now. This is your destiny, and your family will help answer it. Offer them to the box, and cut them. Cut them starting at the tips of their toes, and the tips of their fingers, and keep on cutting them. Cut them and cut them and cut them and cut them and cut them and cut them and cut them and cut them and cut them until they're in enough pieces to fit in the box. And as you cut them, smile. You have to reassure them that it's alright, that they are helping to fulfill the most important thing of all, your desire. Smile, because your desire is about to be fulfilled. The Thirteenth Trial The Thirteenth Trial [REDACTED] History: SCP-3819 was recovered from the Texas estate of Jameson Marshall, CEO of the ███████ Corporation. Mr. Marshall held notable public reputation as a philanthropist and historical enthusiast, contributing significant funding to law enforcement and archeological expeditions to Viking and Roman sites. Recovered financial records indicate SCP-3819 was purchased by at private auction, presented to bidders as an authentic larnax. Though no known anomalous activity had been associated with Mr. Marshall prior to the auction, from 4/5/20██ onward, reports of potential domestic altercation, unusual behavior, and missing persons in proximity to the Marshall estate began to be made to local police. Police records indicate these reports were not followed up on for several months, citing that officers were fully occupied with unspecified other investigations. However, on 7/19/20██, officers were dispatched to the Marshall estate in response to a home security alarm being tripped. Upon entering the estate, the officers found ██ corpses arranged in a circle around SCP-3819. All of the corpses had been forcibly contorted into positions unnatural for the human body, and a plurality of the corpses were found to be missing some combination of external or internal anatomy. The deceased were principally found to be from a lower income bracket, many later identified as household employees. The body of Jameson Marshall was found off to the side of the circle, missing a left hand and both feet. While unable to determine the methodology via which his feet had been removed, forensics were able to determine that he had dragged himself away from SCP-3819 afterwards, prior to killing himself with a self inflicted gunshot. The situation was deferred to the Foundation, with agents quickly dispatched to recover SCP-3819, administer amnestics, and develop a suitable cover story. It was discovered shortly after SCP-3819's retrieval that there was a single object within it, with preliminary analysis indicating that the object had spontaneously appeared internally. Though testing negative for any anomalous properties, upon being fed to former food critic D-1780, the object was promptly declared "absolutely the best damn cheeseburger I've ever fucking had holy shit". An autopsy conducted afterwards additionally found that Jameson Marshall had not eaten for several days prior to his death. |
SCP-3820 | neutralized | SCP-3820 prior to containment. Item #: SCP-3820 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3820 is to be kept in a standard animal containment unit. It is to be provided with an adult diet designated for large breed canines twice daily as well as a constant supply of water. The containment unit is also to be decontaminated daily. A Foundation personnel specializing in canine veterinary is to complete a health inspection on SCP-3820 annually. Description: SCP-3820 is a member of Canis lupus familiaris that is coated entirely in a material similar in texture and appearance to calcite, but is malleable enough to allow for normal movement. Other than the aforementioned anomalous properties, SCP-3820 vaguely resembles and behaves like a 5-year-old, female Golden Retriever. Site-19 security footage of the facility’s lobby has shown the sudden appearance of a bright, blue-colored flash lasting for approximately one second before subsiding, with SCP-3820 manifesting at the center of the flash. Researchers have yet to determine the exact mechanism of SCP-3820's manifestation, or why it appeared at Site-19's lobby. ▶ Incident Log-3820-1 ◀ Collapse Incident Log-3820-1: On 08/08/2017, one month after SCP-3820's manifestation, Site-19 administration staff Harvey Black received a phone call from an unknown Person of Interest concerning SCP-3820. The Internal Investigation Department has failed to identify or trace the caller, as if the call never transpired. The following is a transcript of the conversation between the unknown caller and Black: Black: Hey pal. Been a long day, so keep it short. Caller: Oh, sorry to hear that! We’ll get straight to business then. Is this uh… Site-19? Black: ‘Is this Site-19?’ The hell are you- wait, what’s your ID number? Caller: Uh… sorry, don’t have one since unlike you I don’t work for the Foundation! I’m just calling you about Marbs, my dog? Black activates a silent emergency alert, designating the call to be a potential Level-3 security breach. Black: Hey, hold up, hold up. Before we talk about ‘Marbs’ or whatever… how did you get onto this network? Caller: Oh, got your number in the phone book! Right between Site-██ and Site-██. Black receives a directive from Site-19 Security to continue the conversation with the unknown caller and attempt to acquire as much information as possible. Black: Right, right. So, who are you, really? Caller: Just Marbs’ parent, owner and guardian! And speaking of Marbs, I think she’s registered as number thirty-eight… two-zero in your system? Black: Yeah um… just looked her up. Our file on ‘Marbs’ is a bit scant, so tell me more about her. Caller: Oh, she’s just the sweetest albeit stiffest sentient canine statue ever! Bit quiet and melancholic though. But I’m sure she’s warmed up to you all already! Black: Very cute, very cute. Right, what’s a… ‘sentient canine statue’? Caller: I’m… honestly not sure really! Statue dogs just look so cool and so elegant- uh, okay, maybe Marbs’ an exception. That's why I chose Site-19. I heard you guys are really good with living statues! Black: …What the hell is happening? Oh, uh… how did ‘Marbs’ get here? Caller: Wow, you’re really blasting me with the Q and As today, huh? Uh… it’s something to do with [REDACTED], maybe? Oh, I’m so sorry, I- Black: I haven’t got a clue what you’re on about either. I’m just the… well, guess I’m just the receptionist today. Caller: Yeah, I get you, I so get you- oh! Oh, I’m so sorry, you said to keep it short and now look at what I’ve done! Black: What? Oh, nah, nah, nah, I got time now- Caller: No, that won’t be fair of me, so let’s get back to business! I just wanna let you guys know that I’m picking up Marbs soon, so you all better say your goodbyes to her! Black: The- the hell? Seriously? Caller: Oh, um… sorry, I should also thank you all at Site-19 for taking care of Marbs! And don’t worry, I’ve sorted out payment. Hey, it was fun chatting with you today. Really appreciate you putting up with me! The caller disconnects. Black: …That’s it. I’m transferring to Site-██. One hour after the phone call, SCP-3820 underwent a spontaneous disappearance event. Security footage has shown the appearance of a bright, blue flash, similar to the manifestation event, lasting approximately one second before subsiding and revealing the disappearance of the subject. Replacing SCP-3820 is exactly one kilogram of [DATA EXPUNGED]. As of the compilation of this incident log, the Foundation’s potential use of [DATA EXPUNGED] is still being debated among the O5 Council. |
SCP-3821 | euclid | SCP-3821 prior to containment Item #: SCP-3821 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3821 shall be kept inside a Secure Storage Vault when not being used to carry out containment procedures. Every three days, an envelope containing a blank letter addressed to the Foundation's front business, "Royal Paper Distributor", will be inserted into SCP-3821. Once the letter has arrived, it is to be disposed of in any manner deemed fit. SCP-3821-1 is to be kept within a 5m x 5m x 3m Humanoid Containment Cell outfitted with a mail chute and Mail sorting unit, and shall be monitored for any abnormal activity. Description: SCP-3821 refers to a standard blue United States Postal Service collection box. Its anomalous effects can be observed when an envelope weighing under 13 oz., containing a letter, and labeled with a valid postage stamp is inserted into the anomaly. After insertion, the envelope will appear at any location it is addressed to, provided it is within the United States, precisely two days later. In the event that the second day falls on a Sunday, the envelope will instead appear the next day. Discovery: SCP-3821's effects were first observed on 5/23/2017 when five envelopes carrying improvised explosive devices detonated in multiple locations across Site-█. Security footage captured two of the envelopes materializing shortly before the detonation. An investigation into the source of the components of the explosives identified the devices' creator to be James Richfield. Interrogations by Foundation officials revealed him to be a member of the Chaos Insurgency, as well as revealing the existence and location of SCP-3821. + Open test log - Close test log Test # Test Description Test Results Test #1 An envelope containing a blank letter and valid postage stamp addressed to Site-█ is inserted into the anomaly. The envelope appears two days later in the cafeteria of Site-█. Test #2 An envelope containing a blank letter and valid postage stamp addressed to a Foundation submarine is inserted into the anomaly. The envelope appears two days later in one of the submarine's wiring panels, subsequently igniting and damaging the vessel's navigation system. Note: From now on, all letters inserted into SCP-3821 should be addressed to a Foundation front business where they will not pose a risk to any important Foundation operating or containment systems. Test #3 An envelope containing a blank letter and valid postage stamp addressed to a Foundation front business in the United States' Eastern Time Zone is inserted into the anomaly on a Thursday at precisely 23:00 Pacific Standard Time. The Envelope arrives at its location the following Monday at 2:00 Eastern Standard Time. Test #4 An envelope addressed to Royal Paper Distributor containing a blank letter, valid postage stamp, and weight weighing in at over 13 oz. is inserted into the anomaly. The envelope disappears from the anomaly, but never arrives at the addressed location. Test #5 An envelope addressed to Royal Paper Distributor containing a blank letter, valid postage stamp, and tracking device is inserted into the anomaly. Envelope immediately appears at an unknown location, later identified to be a sub-level of [REDACTED], and remains there for two days before appearing at the addressed location. SCP-3821-1 Recovery: Shortly after the discoveries of the fifth test, an exploration unit was assembled and sent to investigate the uncovered location. The location was revealed to be an abandoned mailroom containing SCP-3821-1. SCP-3821-1 appeared to be a caucasian male 1.8 meters in height and clad in professional work attire. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the figure possessed no facial features besides two humanoid ears. The subject offered no resistance during containment and was relocated to Site-█. After the subject's containment, SCP-3821 temporarily ceased anomalous activity. + Open Incident Log 1A - Close Incident Log 1A SCP-3821-1 was initially unresponsive after containment, moving only when forced to do so. Two days after containment, the subject began moving along the perimeter of the containment cell. Over the next week, the subject increased its activity and Foundation personnel were sent in to interfere when the subject began to attack the walls of its containment cell. Two guards were injured before the subject was successfully subdued. In an attempt to pacify the subject, a mail chute and mail sorting unit were introduced into the containment cell in order to simulate a mailroom environment. The subject continued hostile activity until an envelope was inserted into SCP-3821 and it was discovered that SCP-3821 had resumed anomalous activity, with the envelope now being delivered to SCP-3821-1's containment cell before appearing at the addressed location. After relocating the envelope from the mail chute to the mail sorting unit, SCP-3821-1 ceased all hostile activity and returned to an inactive state. |
SCP-3822 | esoteric-class | SCP-3822 Object Class Da'aS Elyon1 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the size of SCP-3822, full containment is currently unfeasible. As a result of this, the following measures are to be maintained to ensure the safety of the populations of both Earth and its Moon, with security forces stationed at both SCP-3822-1 instances to ensure their execution: Passengers exiting SCP-3822 will be guided to the nearest SAMD2 by STF Terra-1 (Earthbound Deltas) members. Should nothing be found during the scan, they will be placed in a quarantine cell within the basement of Earth's SCP-3822-1 instance for one week to be monitored and, if needed, treated for any disease they may have contracted on their travels. Should something be found during the scan, the passenger will be apprehended and be placed within a quarantine cell for one week. After exiting quarantine, they will face charges, varying on what was discovered. Description: SCP-3822 is an interplanetary railway constructed by the now defunct IPGA3 in 2196 to help ease transportation to other planets, measuring over 5.37 million light-years in length. The system operated in both the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy, acting as a method of intergalactic trade. Since the organization's liquidation in 2235, the railway began exhibiting numerous anomalous properties. Since 2238, those riding on SCP-3822 do not age during their time on the train. Due to this property, numerous people have taken residence within SCP-3822. The IPF,4the successor to the IPGA, who currently manage SCP-3822, is in the process of evicting and punishing those who are living within SCP-3822. SCP-3822 is capable of functioning without any external sources of fuel, preventing it from stopping unless it is turned off. As of this time, the source of its propulsion and energy is unknown. SCP-3822-1 is the designation for the stations which SCP-3822 stops at when reaching a planet or moon that was registered in the IPGA prior to its liquidation. There are anywhere between one and four SCP-3822-1 instances on each registered planet or moon, depending on their size. In the years since, the stations have been renovated multiple times to hold more individuals and have more efficient electrical and plumbing systems, with these modifications being made as technology has progressed. Addendum 3822.1: Experiment Log A series of tests were conducted involving SCP-3822 and its properties. EXPERIMENT OUTCOME NOTES A fresh gala apple was placed in the cabin of SCP-3822. The apple displayed no signs of rot or deterioration after one week. After results were noted, D-356524 was instructed to eat said apple. He displayed no effects from consuming it. A fresh gala apple was placed in the cabin of SCP-3822. The apple displayed no signs of rot or deterioration after several months. Upon being consumed by D-356524, he displayed no effects, but when he exited SCP-3822, he described a "strange" sensation within his stomach. A Gallic rose (Rose gallicanae) was placed in an APCC5 unit located on SCP-3822. After several days without sunlight and water, the rose remained the same, showing no signs of wilting or dying. Within 3 hours of exiting SCP-3822, the rose wilted and died. A four-month-old Eastern cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus floridanus) was placed in an APCC unit located on SCP-3822. After several weeks, it displayed no signs of aging or disease. After exiting SCP-3822, the rabbit was noted to be more susceptible to disease, contracting Pasteurellosis and Myxomatosis. Its lifespan was not noticeably affected. A member of the species Homo evelerre6 captured during a raid on a illegal planetary refugee camp in the Sahara Desert was placed in an APCC located on SCP-3822. (Experiment still in progress) (Experiment still in progress) Following the events of Addendum 3822.2, plans for testing the effects of SCP-3822 on human passengers have been indefinitely placed on hold. Addendum 3822.2: Incident Log On December 7th, 2238, an incident involving Robert Bryson, a civilian who formerly resided on SCP-3822, occurred. The following is a log of surveillance camera footage taken from SCP-3822. <BEGIN LOG> An unknown passenger walks into one of SCP-3822's carts at the SCP-3822-1 instance on Mars. All the seats are full. Robert Bryson is noted to be taking up two seats while laying down. Onyx approaches him. Unknown passenger: Excuse me, but can you maybe move? There's no other s- Robert Bryson sits down on one seat, leaving the other open, without looking from his phone. Unknown passenger: Thanks. Several minutes pass. The unknown passenger examines the phone in Robert's hands. Unknown passenger: I'm sorry, but is that the actual iPhone 32? Do you know how rare those are? Robert turns and stares at the unknown passenger. Robert Bryson: What's an…*cough* "iPhone"? Unknown passenger: Are you not from Earth? Robert Bryson: No. My parents are. Unknown passenger: Never mind then. Where'd you find it? Robert Bryson: Does it really matter? Unknown passenger: To me, yes, it does. Robert examines the phone in his hands. Robert Bryson: Why? Unknown passenger: I'm an archaeologist. That right there is almost 100 years old. It belongs in a museum. Robert Bryson: It's mine. Unknown passenger: Where'd you get it? Robert Bryson: Can you please leave me… *cough* alone. Several minutes pass. Onyx shifts in his chair. Unknown passenger: Sorry. For bothering you. Robert Bryson: Don't be. It's fine. Unknown passenger: No, no, it's my fault. Onyx extends his hand towards Robert. Robert shakes it. Onyx: My name's Onyx. Robert Bryson: I'm Robert. Onyx is a badass name. Onyx: Is it? My parents named me after some prehistoric bat. They didn't even spell it right. Robert Bryson: Still a *cough* badass name. They both laugh. Onyx: Nice to meet you. Robert Bryson: Ditto. Onyx: So… where are you headed? Robert hesitates for a moment. Robert Bryson: Everywhere yet nowhere. Onyx: … Robert Bryson: I live on the train. Onyx: Oh. Ok. The MLPAS7 beeps. MLPAS Announcer: We will be arriving at the planet of Mars shortly. Several minutes pass. Robert Bryson: I know what you're thinking. Onyx: Huh? Robert Bryson: That a businessman like yourself should not be speaking to someone like me, someone who can't provide for himself. Onyx: What? No- Robert Bryson: I get it. It's fine. I'd probably think the same if I was in your position. Onyx opens his mouth to speak, but does not. Several minutes pass. Onyx again shifts uneasily in his seat. Onyx: If you don't mind me asking, why are you here. I mean, what led to you being in… this situation? Robert Bryson: Cowardice and - Robert coughs multiple times. Robert Bryson: greed. The two flaws of mankind. I was once an ambitious man, like *cough* yourself. I lusted for power. Hungered for it. Ran a company on Titan long ago. I was constantly trying to find ways to grow it, experimenting with the anomalous, digging in places I shouldn't have, until the shovel finally hit a pipe and burst. Everything else came too fast: controversy, defamation, corruption, betrayal… murder, next thing you know I'm here. Hiding away, *cough* repenting. Onyx: What are you afraid of then? Robert Bryson: Myself. Onyx: … Why? Robert Bryson: I… don't know. I'm just afraid that…. that I'll… never mind. I don't mean to vent at you. Onyx: No it's… okay. Sometimes you just have to let it all go. We're all afraid of something. The MLPAS beeps. MLPAS: Now arriving on Mars. Please stand clear of the gates. Several minutes pass. Onyx is visibly zoned out. Robert Bryson:I lied. Onyx flinches. Onyx: Hmm? Robert Bryson: I lied. Onyx: About what? To m- Robert Bryson: I'm not afraid of myself. I'm afraid of death. That's why I'm here. Not because I'm hiding away. Because I'm a *cough* coward. Onyx: Well, exactly how long have you been here? Robert Bryson: Months. Years. I've lost track of time. I know what I'm doing is illegal, but what else do you want me to do? Sit around and wait for me to *cough* die? Then what? What happens after? Onyx pauses for a moment, with a confused expression. Onyx: I… don't know. Robert Bryson: Outside this train, there are timers above everyone's heads. Tick, tick, ticking away. Waiting until they can drown their next victim. I don't want to be a victim. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. Robert brings both of his hands through his hair and then puts his face in them. Onyx stares at the floor for several moments. Onyx: Don't you ever want to be at peace? Robert looks at Onyx with a confused expression. Robert Bryson: I don't follow. Onyx: Hmm. How do I explain th- Oh. Onyx clears his throat. Onyx: "We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, but to create something that will." That's a quote my mother told me before she passed. Dying isn't about who you were or the power you had. It's about what you've left behind. If you don't die, you can never have the peace of knowing that you did something, anything, with your life. What happens after is peace. Robert stares blankly at Onyx. Onyx: I'll ask again. Don't you ever want to be at peace? To know that you've accomplished something before you pass on. Robert Bryson: … Yes. Onyx: Good. Now I think it's time you face your fear. Robert Bryson: Sorry, but wha- Onyx: Shhh. You'll see. MLPAS: We will shortly be arriving on Earth. Several minutes pass. Robert Bryson: Thank you. Thank you for this. Onyx: No problem. Y'know you aren't the only one keeping secrets here. Robert Bryson: Huh? Onyx: I've known why you were here since the beginning. Robert Bryson: Are you… what? Onyx: Robert, I understand how loss can cause people do to… questionable things. I'm not here to apprehend you. I'm here to help you. To "heal" you. Robert stands up. Robert Bryson: I don't understand… why? Onyx: Because you're you. You're special, even if you might not know it. Robert Bryson: What? How do yo- Onyx: Don't worry, your secret's safe with us. Robert stares an Onyx for several moments with a confused and shocked expression. Onyx: Now are you ready or not? Robert Bryson: I… I am… Yes, I am. Onyx: Was that hesitation I heard? Robert Bryson: I'm ready. MLPAS: Now arriving on Earth. Please stand clear of the gates. Onyx: That's our cue. Onyx stands up from his chair. He gestures at the doors to Robert. Robert stares at them with a bleak expression. Onyx: Trust me, it's ok to feel scared, but I know you can do it. Robert takes a deep breath. SCP-3822's doors open and several other passengers in the cart leave. He stares at it for several moments before walking towards it. He hesitantly steps out of the cart and into Earth's SCP-3822-1 and turns around to look at Onyx, who is no longer there. Robert Bryson: … Onyx? Robert's body suddenly begins to rot, starting as his foot. He looks down at his feet. Civilians around him begin to scream and stare at him. Robert Bryson: Fuck. No, no, no, no, no- Robert's skin begins to pale, and he begins becoming thinner. Eventually, his skin begins to flake and disintegrate, while Robert's teeth have notably more stains on them. Within several minutes, Robert's cadaver has entirely decomposed. <END LOG> Investigation into the identity of "Onyx" is ongoing.8 Usage of SCP-3822 on Earth has been prohibited until it is confirmed it is safe to use through testing.

SCP-3823 | safe | Item #: SCP-3823 Special Containment Procedures: The walking trail leading to SCP-3823's designated containment area is to be covertly closed off every Tuesday night, starting at 8 PM and ending once the SCP-3823 event has concluded. The cover for this closing must vary for each individual event and are not to be repeated for at least 3 months to ensure a lack of suspicion. 6 Foundation agents are to be posted in the area surrounding SCP-3823 at all times under the guise of local workers. Any attempts to remove SCP-3823 from its wire by non-authorized or civilian personnel are to be immediately stopped and the perpetrator(s) detained. Every SCP-3823 event is to be overseen by the posted Foundation agents and should be kept as quiet as possible. The agents are encouraged to bring a varied selection of music to each event, however this is not necessary. A questionnaire session must be scheduled with SCP-3823 itself at least one week in advance and should not begin without warning during an otherwise normal SCP-3823 event. Description: SCP-3823 are two pairs of shoes currently located in St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada, tied by their laces to a power line running near a forest trail. In most circumstances, SCP-3823 is completely inert and are mundane. They can be removed from the wire and worn without any issue and bear no distinguishing marks. Standard brand logos are present on SCP-3823, one pair (SCP-3823-1) bearing the logo associated with "Nike" and the other (SCP-3823-2) bearing that of its subsidiary company "Converse". SCP-3823 cannot be removed from the area in order to stop SCP-3823 events, as new pairs of shoes bearing identical properties will emerge from within the nearby forest and initiate a SCP-3823 event instead. The only time that SCP-3823 displays any anomalous property is at exactly 8:30 PM every Tuesday. Both pairs of SCP-3823 will spontaneously untie themselves from the cable and slowly descend to the ground, where they will then begin to shift and twist in place. After what is usually 10-15 seconds, both SCP-3823 instances will begin to move across the ground. The movements made by SCP-3823 have been noted to be similar to various styles of dance. This varies by each occurrence, but every event so far has primarily focused on dances that typically involve two participants. SCP-3823 will continue to "dance" for upwards of 4 hours, changing style periodically, before stopping in place. Both instances of SCP-3823 will then slowly rise back into the air, tie themselves around the wire again, and return to their inert state. This process in its entirety is considered the standard "SCP-3823 event". At this time, it is considered impossible to truly "halt" a SCP-3823 event, though it is possible to alter the course and prolong one (see addendum SCP-3823.1). Attempts to stop the motion of SCP-3823 have all been unsuccessful and should not be carried out as of 28/06/2017. Addendum - SCP-3823.1: On 13/6/2017, a notable deviation in an otherwise standard SCP-3823 event occurred due to the accidental actions of one of the designated overseeing agents. The agent's cell phone had been called by one of their friends, causing their ringtone (an excerpt from the opening of Bound 2 by American hip-hop artist Kanye West) to play loudly. SCP-3823 immediately stopped mid-"dance" and turned to the agent, staying still for a minute before hesitantly returning to their regular function without further deviation. This was the first noted instance of any audio disturbances being noticed by SCP-3823, as agents in the area had previously spoken on several occasions without any such issue. It was theorized, and subsequently confirmed, that SCP-3823 is only capable of hearing audio recordings. This was proven when, during the next SCP-3823 event, one of the posted agents played several songs over a small battery-powered Bluetooth speaker. After several minutes of inactivity, SCP-3823 returned to dancing, now aligned with the rhythm of the music playing. From thereon, it was theorized that SCP-3823 is controlled by a, or several, entities that are currently imperceptible and intangible. This theory was also confirmed when, during the subsequent SCP-3823 event, several varied audio recordings of one of the agents were played in order to question SCP-3823, as described below. SCP-3823.2, Interview. + OPEN LOG. - CLOSE LOG. Interviewer: Agent Jackie Interviewed: SCP-3823/SCP-3823's controlling entities. Date: 27/06/2017 Agent Jackie: Hello. We have been peacefully watching you, or more specifically, your shoes dance for several months now. This is a considerably long story that I'm sure you are skeptical about, but we promise that we only speak the truth. We've noted that you can hear the audio that we play over speakers, but not any other noises from the area, most notably last week when you danced to our selection of music. We would like to ask you a few simple yes or no questions, if that's alright. Click your heels together once for yes, twice for no. Is that alright? Both SCP-3823 instances remain motionless for a few minutes, before slowly touching their respective heels together once. Agent Jackie: Fantastic. First off, we'd like to ask if you guys can see us. Can you? SCP-3823 clicks no. Agent Jackie: Alright. Can you see the speaker this is playing from? SCP-3823 clicks no. Agent Jackie: Do you know what a speaker is? SCP-3823 clicks yes. Agent Jackie: Alright. We can't see you at the moment, only your shoes. We are unsure why. Are you human? SCP-3823 clicks yes. Agent Jackie: Can you see other humans? SCP-3823 clicks yes. Agent Jackie: Are you in St. Johns, Canada? SCP-3823 clicks yes. Agent Jackie: Is today the 27th of June, 2017? SCP-3823 clicks yes. Agent Jackie: Would you mind if we played you music and asked more questions next week? SCP-3823 hesitates, then clicks yes. Agent Jackie: Would you like it if we played music for you right now? SCP-3823 clicks yes. From then, the agents began playing a variety of songs that they had stored on their personal devices. The SCP-3823 event concluded 3 hours later, and both instances of SCP-3823 were noted to have clicked their heels together several times before returning to their wire. After this incident, the Special Containment Procedures of SCP-3823 were officially changed and SCP-3823 was questioned every other week. From this, we know several things regarding SCP-3823. SCP-3823-1 is controlled by a male, and SCP-3823-2 is controlled by a female. Both entities controlling SCP-3823 are regularly human and bear identical biological qualities to our world's humans. SCP-3823's controller entities live in a society identical to our own, both culturally and politically. SCP-3823's controller entities are unsure of why its anomalous properties exist. SCP-3823's controller entities are notably accepting of bizarre circumstances and fully accept the fact that extradimensional entities can only see their shoes. SCP-3823-1's controller entity enjoys hip-hop music and listens to artists identical to our world's. SCP-3823-2's controller entity enjoys independent (indie) rock music and also listens to artists identical to our world's. SCP-3823's controller entities dance at the exact same time every Tuesday night as practice for their professional performances. SCP-3823's controller entities's existence seems to be the only difference between our world and theirs, as no analogue to SCP-3823's controller entities exists in our world. SCP-3823's controller entities are famous in their dimension and have numerous shows booked across several cities in the province. SCP-3823's controller entities dance in the same location primarily due to convenience and enjoyment of the scenery. SCP-3823's controller entities keep their shoes tied around a power wire for a reason currently unknown due to the nature of these questionnaire sessions. They have, however, noted yes to the question "Is it a good reason?" SCP-3823's controller entities would prefer if the Foundation did not disturb their shoes for experimentation as they had previously done numerous times. It is currently unknown why SCP-3823's controller entities's shoes are the only link between this world and theirs. This request has been honored, as SCP-3823 shoes are notably non-anomalous beyond their connection to another dimension of existence and the Foundation already has possession of 3 ex-SCP-3823 pairs of shoes to test on. SCP-3823 cannot see these pairs of shoes, even if they are brought into the area during an active SCP-3823 event. SCP-3823 appreciates the musical accompaniment to their dancing and would prefer if the Foundation continued providing it. SCP-3823's controller entities cannot feel any forces acting upon their shoes. Music played by SCP-3823's controller entities cannot be heard on this end of the "connection". ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3823" by Alabaster-Alabaster, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3824 | safe | close Info X SCP-3824 — Dogpile Author: AlanDaris Jamcon entry for the "Shaggy dog" theme. ~~ More Alan Stuff ~~ SCP-3824 Item #: SCP-3824 Special Containment Procedures: Members of the MTF Omega-21 ("Savage Garden") disguised as the local park rangers are tasked with monitoring the area around SCP-3824 and suppressing the public knowledge regarding its anomalous properties. All subjects experiencing SCP-3824's effect are to be misinformed or, if deemed necessary, administered Class-A amnestic. Any subject describing such symptoms as a minor pain in various body parts or obsessive thoughts related to barking after entering SCP-3824 is to be moved to the nearest Foundation facility for further study. Description: SCP-3824 is an area measuring approximately 40 m², located within a park in the town of ████████, Oregon. Upon entering SCP-3824, an individual will be subjected to a minor mind-affecting phenomenon and will spontaneously visualize a large number of domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), hereinafter referred to as SCP-3824-1 instances. Although the visual appearance and breed of the instances vary on a case-by-case basis, most subjects described them as being remarkably small (2-10 cm in length along with the head and body) as well as possessing a large amount of fur. In all situations visualized by subjects, SCP-3824-1 instances were observed to exhibit an ordinary, non-violent behavior and demonstrate a positive attitude towards the subject. Since the initial discovery, only one exception was documented (for more detail, refer to the Addendum 3824.1). SCP-3824's effects will typically cease after approximately ten minutes following the subject exiting its area. If an ordinary canine enters SCP-3824, it will demonstrate aggressive behavior. In most observed cases, canines produced continuous vocalizations until they were removed from the area. Addendum. Experiment Log 3824-C D-1318 was ordered to enter SCP-3824 and remain in the area of its effect for ten minutes. This subject was chosen for the following test due to their history of animal abuse and negative overall attitude towards canines. Upon entering, D-1318 reported experiencing SCP-3824's anomalous effect and reacted aggressively to it. Approximately three minutes later, D-1318 had claimed to experience discomfort due to obsessive thoughts related to canines and barking, as well as a minor pain in different parts of the body. After ten minutes of the experiment, D-1318 was allowed to leave SCP-3824. Following the subject leaving the area, the anomalous effect ceased as normal. Over the course of the next three days, D-1318's mental state had deteriorated dramatically due to constant obsessive thoughts and visualizations related to open wounds and bleeding. Reportedly, in the images visualized by the subject, the amount of blood and the size of wounds had gradually increased over time. D-1318 expired for unknown reasons four days later after the experiment. During the subsequent autopsy, members of the medical team were subjected to a mind-affecting phenomenon similar to that of SCP-3824 and spontaneously visualized a large number of small (2-3 cm in length) organisms visually similar to canines emerging from a human corpse and running away in various directions shortly after. The anomalous effect ceased approximately five minutes later. The autopsy performed following the de-manifestation of anomalous effect showed no internal injuries within D-1318's body. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3824" by AlanDaris, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3825 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3825 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3825 is to be contained in the lowest sub-basement level at Site-15, in an enlarged humanoid containment unit. In order to reduce the risk of potential structural damage, SCP-3825 is not to be moved to any area that is not directly supported by solid ground or specially reinforced floors, such as the upper floors of any buildings on-site. Investigation into the whereabouts of PoI-3825-1 are ongoing. If possible, PoI-3825-1 is to be captured and brought to Site-15 for interrogation. Description: SCP-3825 is the collective designation for an adult human male and the mass of inert copies of itself it continually generates. SCP-3825 appears as a conglomeration of adult male human bodies physically merged with one another to form a solid mass of human tissue. Each of these copied bodies is referred to as an instance of SCP-3825-1. SCP-3825-1 physically resembles adult male human bodies, but are inert and show no signs of life functions. At the “front” of this mass is a live human male known as SCP-3825-2, which moves, speaks, and behaves identically to a non-anomalous human. SCP-3825-2 continually and involuntarily generates instances of SCP-3825-1, identical in appearance to SCP-3825-2, that merge into each other to form the bulk of SCP-3825. These copies appear as “freeze-frames” of how SCP-3825-2 was positioned at the time of their generation. Although SCP-3825-1 appear tangible to outside interaction, SCP-3825-2 can physically pass through SCP-3825-1 instances, allowing more instances to be formed “inside” previous instances. This stacking occurs seamlessly, and results in an increased mass density within the overlap. Analysis has determined that each SCP-3825-1 instance manifests for a total of thirty seconds before demanifesting, and as the oldest instance demanifests, a new instance is simultaneously created from SCP-3825-2. SCP-3825-2 generates SCP-3825-1 ten times per second, making the total conglomeration of SCP-3825-1 consist of 300 instances at any given time. Each instance possesses a mass of approximately 85 kilograms, placing the full mass of SCP-3825 at over 25 metric tons. The density of this mass depends on the rate at which SCP-3825-2 changes its geographic location, and can quickly reach structurally hazardous levels when SCP-3825-2 stands still. Recovery: SCP-3825 was discovered in 20██ after several floors of the ████ Laboratory in ████, New York suddenly collapsed, creating a series of holes leading to its basement. Foundation agents embedded in emergency services were some of the first on-scene, and discovered SCP-3825, injured but alive, lying atop a pile of rubble in the basement beneath the collapsed floors. The rubble had been largely crushed into gravel and splinters by SCP-3825’s substantial weight. Civilian first responders were amnesticized, and a cover story about improper adherence to building codes was distributed to the public. + Interview Log 3825-IL-01 - Click to close Interview Log 3825-IL-01 Interview Log 3825-IL-01 Interviewer: Dr. Swicker Interviewed: SCP-3825-2 Date: 09/01/20██ Notes: This interview was conducted one week after SCP-3825’s transport to Site-15, once SCP-3825-2 had recovered from its injuries. <Begin log> Dr. Swicker: Good afternoon, SCP-3825-2. How’s your leg feeling? SCP-3825-2: Not bad, all things considered. I mean, I fell through what, four floors? I guess I’m lucky I’m not a paraplegic. Ribs are still killing me though. Did you guys ever get in touch with my insurance? I dunno if my plan covers… well, whatever you’d call this situation. Swicker: That won’t be necessary. All medical expenses are free of charge while you’re under our jurisdiction. 3825-2: Good, ‘cause I’m pretty broke right now. Do me a favor and tell ████ Labs that if they think they’re sticking me with the repair charges on their building, they can blow me. Tell them to take that up with Arnold. Swicker: Arnold? 3825-2: Yeah, Dr. Arnold ████████. Did I not tell you about him? Maybe that was a fever dream or something. You guys have really powerful morphine. Swicker: I don’t believe you did. Could you explain? 3825-2: Yeah, sure. ████████ was the guy I was interning with, over at ████ Labs. He was a professor at ███, you can probably find him if you look him up. He’s the one to blame for this damn mess. Swicker: Describe the nature of your work as an intern, please. 3825-2: I think my position title would have been something like "lab monkey", meaning any work he had me do probably could have been completed by a trained chimp. A lot of number crunching and simulation-running, really. Wasn't up until the end that he decided I'd make a good test subject. Swicker: And what was it that you and Dr. ████████ were studying? 3825-2: Time travel. Swicker: Time travel? 3825-2: Yep. If it sounds ridiculous, it's because it is. ████████ thought he had discovered a way to conduct honest-to-god time travel. He hired me because I agreed to keep my mouth shut about it, not because of my stellar 2.7 GPA. He was paranoid someone was gonna steal the patent from under his nose. Swicker: Did he ever explain how he intended to accomplish… time travel? 3825-2: He'd lecture me constantly about the "principles" behind it. I hardly ever listened, because he's as interesting as static on TV. The gist of it was that he thought he found a way to send human consciousness backwards along the fourth axis of time. He said our minds travel along this fourth axis, jumping between instants in three-dimensional space. His machine was intended to reverse the vector of this movement. Or something. A pause. SCP-3825-2 scratches its head. 3825-2: It sounds ever stupider saying it out loud. Swicker: And how did this machine work? 3825-2: That, I can't tell you. I never had a real hand in designing or building the thing. That was up to him and the technicians. Swicker: You mentioned earlier that you were selected as a test subject. Tell me about this testing, if you would. 3825-2: There was only ever one test. ████████ asked me if I wanted to be the first to step inside the machine, and I agreed. I figured at worst it'd zap me with some electricity and I could sue for on-the-job injury. He didn't even make me sign a waiver, the dumb bastard. Swicker: Describe that test for me, then. 3825-2: Right, so after a few months of having me plug numbers into AutumnSim, ████████ tells me to step into the chamber for an early test. Thirty seconds back through time. He says that since he was only sending my consciousness back in time, I wouldn't meet my past self and cause the universe to implode or whatever. I'm paraphrasing. Swicker: Understood. Please continue. 3825-2: I get inside the machine, and he tells me "I'll set h to point one, to keep power consumption low." I remember that part clearly. He flipped the switch, there was a bright flash of light, and next thing I knew I was falling through the floor. You know the rest. Swicker: The experiment didn't go as planned, then. 3825-2: I can see why they pay you the big bucks, doc. No, it didn't. I'll chalk that part up to ████████ being an arrogant hack who was in way over his head with this whole project. Speaking of which, you guys ought to track him down so he can get in here and fix me. Swicker: We'll begin the search soon, don't worry. 3825-2: Good. You folks have been pretty cool and all, but I'd like to be able to stand on the second floor without caving it in. And I'll never get a date with this weird flesh-snake dragging behind me. <End log> Following this interview, Dr. Arnold ████████ has been designated PoI-3825-1. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3825" by Freemayne, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3826 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3826 Special Containment Procedures: The artificial entrance to SCP-3826 is to be maintained by two concrete walls at least 2 m in length and at least .5 m in thickness. The only authorized personnel to enter SCP-3826 through the airlock are research personnel of level-3 clearance or agents of Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats"). Upon exploration, personnel are to wear an actively transmitting earpiece and a pair of artificial surveillance glasses at all times. Mentioning the use of earpieces around the company of instances of SCP-3826-1 is forbidden. Description: SCP-3826 is an isolated civil construct located ~4 km beneath the highest point of the Kenai Mountains in Alaska, United States of America which is able to cause visual and auditory hallucination in human subjects. SCP-3826's area of occupation measures less than 20 km². Inside of this area lies civilization similar to that of European colonization which was commonplace in the late 17th century and a population (~45,000 organisms) of bipedal humanoid entities (hereby deemed instances of SCP-3826-1). Instances of SCP-3826-1 are genetically similar to Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) and have constructed their own cultures, forms of engineering, and an organized civil government. SCP-3826-1's physical appearances include mutation and other physical deformities. SCP-3826-1 instances stand in-between 2.1 m and 4.6 m. The taller instances of SCP-3826-1 have been noted to commonly take the place of defenders and caretakers of other instances of SCP-3826-1. The civilization within SCP-3826 centers around the consistency of a hatred of technology. Instances of SCP-3826-1 will violently attack any individuals who have exhibited using technology developed after the year 1870. Following the attack, SCP-3826-1 will scavenge the technological components and transport them to a location which has yet to be identified by exploration personnel.1 A photo taken within SCP-3826 upon recovery showcasing a large portion of buildings constructed by SCP-3826-1.2 Following the photo, eighteen instances of SCP-3826-1 murdered the three attending Zeta-9 personnel due to their use of modern camera equipment. SCP-3826 functions similar to earlier civilization in terms of governmental constructs. There are established policing forces within SCP-3826, most of them being occupied by the larger instances of SCP-3826-1. These policing forces tend to use brute physical force to enforce the laws bestowed upon SCP-3826. The subject who created the laws and/or the construct that is SCP-3826 remains unidentified. Unidentified symbols (assumed to be related to the occult) are commonly seen in buildings within, roads within, and the walls of SCP-3826. Addenda: The following is a collection of relevant information regarding SCP-3826 including exploration logs, interview logs, and incident logs. Foreword: D-16321 is a female Class-D personnel originally imprisoned for multiple accounts of arson and manslaughter. She was taken into Foundation custody on 8/19/2029. It should be noted that, during this time, artificial surveillance glasses were not in use per SCP-3826's special containment procedures. [BEGIN LOG] D-16321: These stairs go down for a really long way. Researcher Caroll: Please continue down the staircase. D-16321: What the hell is down there anyway? Why do- D-16321 pauses. Fine. D-16321 begins to descend the staircase. Researcher Caroll: Have you seen anything yet, D-16321? D-16321: No, I haven't. It's just hot and gross down here. Researcher Caroll: Continue your descent. D-16321: Seriously, that's an unnecessarily long walk. Researcher Caroll: You are bound to reach the bottom eventually. D-16321: I guess. Five minutes pass. D-16321 is approximately 10 m from the bottom of the stairwell. Vocalizations by SCP-3826-1 are now audible. D-16321: Is this some kind of espion— D-16321 pauses as she looks around, examining SCP-3826. D-16321: [Extended] Holy shit. Researcher Caroll: Now, please report your surroundings only when they are not around. D-16321: "They?" This is some cryptic shit, doc. I don't like it. Researcher Caroll: Again, just follow protocol. D-16321: Yeah, yeah. Researcher Caroll: Is it currently safe to report? D-16321: I guess. I can see a bunch of buildings. The ceiling goes up really high. There's like, uh, a burnt-down church next to me. And there's a path. What is that, gravel? Researcher Caroll: Please continue along the path. D-16321: Uh, alright. Two minutes pass. D-16321: Jesus fucking Chr— SCP-3826-1-A: [Unintelligible] D-16321: What the fuck are you? SCP-3826-1-A: Unresponsive. D-16321: Doc, what do I do? Researcher Caroll: D-16321, I told you not to— SCP-3826-1-B: [Rough translation] Demon! D-16321: Yo, get the fuck back! Researcher Caroll: D-16321, calm— D-16321: Shut the fuck up, doc! You got me into this and I'm getting myself out of it! SCP-3826-1-B: [Unintelligible.] D-16321: You better back the fuck up before you get smacked the fu— SCP-3826-1-C: [Rough translation] Dismantle! D-16321: Get the fuck back, yo. Get the fuck— Researcher Caroll: D-16321? Are you there? [END LOG] Foreword: D-16899 is a male Class-D personnel originally imprisoned for multiple accounts of kidnapping and assault and battery. [BEGIN LOG] D-16899: Hey, doc. Researcher Caroll: Hello. Zeta-9 agents proceed to open SCP-3826's containment airlock. D-16899 steps into the airlock with the door shutting behind him and the door located in front of him opening. Researcher Caroll: Please proceed. D-16899 proceeds down the stairway leading to SCP-3826. D-16899: Fuckin' cold in here, man. Researcher Caroll: Others have said that before, yes. D-16899 remains silent for the majority of the duration of his descent. He is approximately twenty meters from the bottom of the stairwell when he spots a larger instance of SCP-3826-1 located at the bottom. D-16899 takes multiple steps backward while hyperventilating. Researcher Caroll: D-16899, please continue— D-16899: Who is that? What is that? Researcher Caroll: The citizens we have briefed you about. Interact with the citizens and— D-16899: They ain't no fuckin' citizens, doc. Researcher Caroll: …organisms and attempt to survey a large portion of SCP-3826 while you are at it. D-16899: Yeah, yeah, alright. D-16899's heart rate decreases as his breathing stabilizes. He continues down the stairwell, eventually reaching the bottom. Surrounding him is the interior image of SCP-3826 as found in the document. D-16899: What the fuck? Researcher Caroll: Hmm? D-16899: Where did they all go? Researcher Caroll: Let's find out for ourselves. Proceed, explore, and survey SCP-3826. D-16899: Alright, here I go… D-16899 proceeds to walk down the path seemingly paved by instances of SCP-3826-1. He takes multiple turns at random intervals, eventually leading him to a chapel. D-16899: Another church? These fuckers are super religious. Or, I'd assume. Researcher Caroll: D-16899, please enter the chapel. D-16899: …you're kidding. Researcher Caroll: Sorry to say, but I'm not. Enter the chapel. D-16899: Come on, man, I don't want to have to— Researcher Caroll: D-16899, enter the chapel or armed personnel will be sent to retrieve you. D-16899: Alright, fuck. D-16899 opens the double doors located at the chapel's entrance. Approximately forty SCP-3826-1 instances come into view of D-16899's surveillance equipment along with an unidentified humanoid entity. The entity stands significantly shorter than the SCP-3826-1 instances. The entity has the upper section of its body identical to a human female wearing a robe, with the lower section of its body ending in a snake-like body. D-16899: Stuttering, incomprehensible. Unidentified Entity: Are you here to— your clothes. Your clothes, they smell of him! SCP-3826-1 instances stand up from their seats and begin to approach D-16899. D-16899 prematurely turns around and begins to sprint in the direction in which he came from. SCP-3826-1 instances follow at a faster pace. D-16899: Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck— Researcher Caroll: D-16899, ru— Researcher Caroll is interrupted by the sudden drop of his technological equipment. The SCP-3826-1 instances stop their pursuit and the unidentified entity picks up the surveillance tool, holding it close to its face. Unidentified Entity: And don't come back, heretics. [END LOG] Afterword: Agents of Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 were sent to recover the unidentified entity following the incident. The unidentified entity could not be found within SCP-3826. The agents sent on the recovery attempt recalled undergoing visual and auditory hallucinations picturing a gargantuan organism that seemed to lack skin entirely. All agents reported the organism to end its body in multiple "tails" and that the organism's head was shaped extremely similar to that of a squid. The following is an audio log by Researcher Roy Caroll following authorized self-exploration of SCP-3826. [BEGIN LOG] Researcher Caroll: The following is in, uh, regards to my exploration of SCP-3826. Researcher Caroll: They're building a portal. I don't know if that's the best term, but its intent is to open a rift. I don't know where this rift is going, but I've heard plenty of chatter between SCP-3826-1 to realize what the reasoning for construction is. Researcher Caroll: I tried to ask where it was going, and they all responded with the same answer: "the present." The meaning behind this is unknown, but my team of research personnel are currently investigating the possibilities. Researcher Caroll: Only around the portal, hume levels were significantly more erratic than the surrounding areas. We decided it would be best to not use SRAs because it might just contribute to their 'project.' Researcher Caroll: I've also been having nightmares recently. Normally this wouldn't be relevant, but the nightmares contain the exact description of the Zeta-9 agents' hallucinations within SCP-3826. I genuinely do not know who this could be describing, but the presumably-occult-related symbols within SCP-3826 have been— I don't know, bleeding? I only noticed it after the nightmares when I relooked through the footage. Researcher Caroll: Again, this is under investigation. This has been Researcher Roy Caroll, signing off. [END LOG] Addendum 3826-HLELA: On 4/15/2033, all Foundation personnel within ~5 km of SCP-3826 experienced a common hallucination. The following is a report written by Zeta-9 Agent Magubane. Report filed by: Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats") Operative Randy Magubane Access: Level-3, EYES ONLY On April 15, 2033, all research, MTF, and Class-D personnel assigned to SCP-3826 shared a singular auditory and visual hallucination. This hallucination was in regards to Sarkicism and the Grand Karcist Ion, the leader of Sarkicism. The hallucination started with all participating subjects believing they had been transported to an unidentified location. It is to note that this transportation never actually occurred as surveyed through SCP-3826 surveillance tapes. The location in which participants were transported to can only be described as a chapel constructed of fleshy, biological substances. Within the chapel were instances of SCP-3826-1 along with the unidentified entity in 3826-Exploration-2 and Grand Karcist Ion. All individuals were gathered around a statue of Važjuma, the primary Sarkic deity. Upon approaching the gathering, Grand Karcist Ion would approach the Foundation personnel and state the following sentence (broadly gathered from all hallucination witnesses): "Will you see it? Can you? Our Lord, Važjuma, preparing to rise once more. Every piece of salvage could be used to reform Mekhane, and we cannot allow that. We must teleport to His realm, the Present, and assist him in his uprising. We know you can feel Mekhane rising. Jupiter churns as our enemies grow. We have won the war once, and now, it is commencing again. We, His followers, shall uphold our victorious stance not only for this next war but forever on." Following this, no more hallucinations have been witnessed. The location depicted in the hallucination is currently under investigation with the ultimate goal to find the location. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3827 | euclid | The shells of two deceased SCP-3827-A instances. Item #: SCP-3827 Special Containment Procedures: Embedded Foundation elements within the film industry are to introduce scenes and motifs featuring teeth into films by major studios intended to become blockbusters, to more easily identify SCP-3827-affected theaters. In the weeks following the release of these films, theaters affected by SCP-3827 are to be pinpointed and closed down, SCP-3827-A instances contained, and affected people amnesticized. SCP-3827-A instances are kept in Standard Containment Cells, and are currently granted spare trash and the privilege to be shown a new film once a month. Description: SCP-3827 is a cognitohazardous phenomenon affecting movie theaters. Patrons who view films within SCP-3827 instances report statistically unusual rates of dental issues, especially gingivitis, pulpitis, and severe degradation of enamel. Consumption of sugary concessions by patrons, or screenings of films with scenes prominently featuring teeth, will lead to more occurrences. The pulps1 of affected teeth (designated SCP-3827-A) will painfully grow in size over a period of about one week, causing the enamel to crack and reform repeatedly. While an affected person is asleep, SCP-3827-A will eject forcefully from the jaws and extrude portions of their blood vessels and nerves through cracks in the enamel to form rudimentary limbs. SCP-3827-A will move itself with these limbs and attempt to leave the location. They will also often steal loose trash, bits of fabric, or small objects such as buttons or pins. Affixing a miniature tracking device to an SCP-3827-A instance led to the discovery of a small crevice outside the theater responsible for the creation of the instance. Exploration of this crevice revealed a structure resembling a small theater, composed mostly of enamel chips, and dozens of SCP-3827-A instances wearing makeshift costumes and reenacting a scene from the then-recent 2012 film Life of Pi. Dozens of instances had intertwined their blood vessels and nerves, linking together to form the stage and various setpieces. SCP-3827-A instances were collected and placed into containment, and current procedures were implemented. Recently, SCP-3827-A instances have begun performing original productions. Addendum: Following successful Foundation interference with the production of the 2015 film Avengers: Age of Ultron2, Foundation agents managed to identify and close down 119 theaters affected by SCP-3827. Despite no new instances having been discovered since, current procedures are to continue until further notice. Footnotes 1. The living centers of teeth 2.

SCP-3828 | keter | Item #: SCP-3828 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3828 and all SCP-3828-1 instances are to be observed visually, constantly, to note the formation of any new instances of SCP-3828-1 and the location and health of SCP-3828. MTF-Gamma-81 ("Pinniped Pirates") is to play the part of a scientific research crew, aboard the SCPF Pickup Line icebreaker vessel, with a direct wired video link to the Hermit-1 remote submersible. If SCP-3828 approaches a civilised port or harbour, it is to be gently redirected using reinforced nets to the nearest uninhabited beach. The range that SCP-3828 usually occupies. Description: SCP-3828 is a young male Weddell seal (Latin name Leptonychotes weddellii) currently located in the Arctic sea, specifically in the Fram sea, Lincoln strait, Barents sea, and Greenland sea. The anomalous properties of SCP-3828 continuously manifest in a region within its visual range on any solid object. SCP-3828 is vulnerable to physical harm, but does not appear to age. The social nature and location of SCP-3828 are anomalous; Most Weddell seals are solitary most of the time, and live in the Antarctic, not the Arctic. It is unknown how SCP-3828 got to its current location. An object sighted by SCP-3828 will then be seized by an as-of-yet unbreakable force and held in place; if it is more than the size of an adult Weddell seal (roughly 3.5m3), a mass of that size will be separated from the main mass and then be acted upon by SCP-3828 without further affecting the leftover material (excluding additional iterations of this process). If there is less than approximately 1m3 of material, but there is a similar material nearby, that material will be included in the process. This material is given the designation SCP-3828-1, with existing instances given the designation SCP-3828-1-A through -Z. During this process SCP-3828 appears externally to enter an underwater-sleep state which is usual for seals1, but both hemispheres remain active, with one becoming electrically super-active in a way that typically only occurs during a grand mal attack. This does not harm SCP-3828. Instead, SCP-3828-1 will be physically changed into the shape of a Weddell seal. SCP-3828-1 will then behave as a regular seal would, appearing to hunt and consume fish. This occurs regardless of the material SCP-3828-1 is comprised of, and the material available does not appear to affect the buoyancy or absorbency of SCP-3828-1. SCP-3828-1 instances are usually safe, as they behave as normal seals, despite the fact many instances are biohazardous or much more resilient than a natural seal due to their composition. + Instances of SCP-3828-1. - Instances of SCP-3828-1. Designation Material Notes 3828-1-A A variety of Arctic fish, of differing species' and states of decay. Ceased to animate in incident S1. 3828-1-B Fishhooks and metal shards.

See addendum 1.1. 3828-1-L Industrial strength perspex. Created in incident S1. A single seam-line exists around the entire structure of 3828-1-L, but it is otherwise entirely flawless. 3828-1-M & M2 3 Maximum Strength Suspension Electromagnets each. Partially functional. Created in incident S2. Currently assumed to be the most dangerous instances of SCP-3828-1, but has not displayed violent nor anomalous tendencies. See incident log S2. 3828-1-N Assorted rocks and gravel. Minimum dimensions: 2cm x 3cm x 2cm. Maximum: 30 cm x 23 cm x 10 cm 3828-1-O Sand from the ocean floor. Larger than most other instances. 3828-1-P A single flawless rock. Appears to be igneous in origin, and moulded into shape. 3828-1-Q Fishing nets. When SCP-3828 encounters more fishing nets, they are added to this instance. 1-Q started out hollow, but has become filled out over time. 3828-1-R Unidentified meat; Probably of arctic origin. Rotting in various stages. + Incident Log S1 - Incident Log S1 On ██/██/1966, SCP-3828 (and SCP-3828-1-A through -J) was located by a small tour boat operating from the coast of Northern Ireland. The staff on the boat reported the encounter to a local newspaper, which alerted a nearby Foundation cell. The following is a log of events on the day. 0400: SCP-3828 is located by a Foundation boat sent for that purpose heading towards the Arctic circle. 0415: A Foundation crew contains SCP-3828 and all accompanying instances of SCP-3828-1 (A-J) using a reinforced net; The instances that would be capable of slipping through the net do not, possibly to remain with SCP-3828. 0417: SCP-3828 is brought aboard the boat and placed in a holding tank specifically made for the purpose. The SCP-3828-1 instances are also taken aboard, and stored in similar tanks. Once outside of visual range of SCP-3828, the SCP-3828-1 instances become inanimate and inert, resuming their usual properties based on the materials they were comprised of. 0419: Samples are collected of every instance of SCP-3828-1 and SCP-3828 itself3. A tracker is implanted in SCP-3828 0450: SCP-3828 and the remains of all accompanying SCP-3828-1 instances are taken into Site-256 and placed in standardised steel / perspex aquatic containment rooms. At this point, SCP-3828 has become highly agitated, however, has not manifested any unusual effects, and is assumed to be a regular non-anomalous seal, with the SCP-3828-1 entities being the anomalous articles. 0512: On-site animal behavioural scientist Dr. Carver notes that SCP-3828 shows signs of extreme distress, typical in younger specimens kept without companions or isolated from their group. Conclusion dismissed as insignificant; Dr. Carver was on break at that point, and under review for attempting to access containment procedures in self-admitted leisure time. SCP-3828 thought to be non-anomalous at this time. 0602: Results come back from chemical analysis labs and it is discovered that SCP-3828-1 instances and SCP-3828 are physically non-anomalous. Study shifts to SCP-3828. Testing permissions applied for, but left pending due to low-priority rating. 0635: SCP-3828 enters a pseudo-sleep state. Brain activity is not monitored during this time. Over the course of the next minute, the perspex walls of the containment tank and the steel walls of the chamber itself are seen to buckle and shift into SCP-3828-1 instances. The holes torn in the walls of the chamber cause a Stage 1 lockdown to occur, sealing all sections of Site-256. 0700: Camera footage shows SCP-3828 moving across the floor of a corridor outside of its section, tailed by SCP-3828-1-K and -L. Later, a hole was discovered in the lockdown door of that section of Site-256, explaining how SCP-3828 is seen here. The amount of material taken from the door is roughly 2.5m3 implying that SCP-3828-K is primarily composed of this door. 0703: SCP-3828 is shown in increasing amounts of distress, returning to its now-drained tank and vocalising frequently. Analysis shows SCP-3828 was dehydrated. 0715: SCP-3828 is seen leaving the facility on external CCTV, followed by SCP-3828-K and SCP-3828-L, as well as SCP-3828-K2. SCP-3828-K2 is later found to be restrained by a Foundation perimeter fence. 0800: Lockdown disengaged. No casualties or further breaches. Staff commended for proper use of protocol, excluding those who dismissed the likelihood of SCP-3828 being anomalous. + Incident Log S2 - Incident Log S2 On ██/██/1994, a new experimental SCP restraint system was under testing at Site-256, and SCP-3828 deemed an ideal candidate for the final stages of testing, based on the mistaken assumption that SCP-3828 had to be touching the material that they created SCP-3828-1 instances out of. The experimental restraint system relied on electromagnets powerful enough to influence diamagnetism in the subject, meaning potentially any object made out of atoms could be contained. SCP-3828 was captured easily, with only SCP-3828-1-L and -K in tow. The reasoning for the relative lack of company is unknown; it is hypothesised that formation of new SCP-3828-1 entities takes significant effort on the part of SCP-3828 and is not easily repeated. SCP-3828 was taken back to Site-256, in a larger tank accompanied by SCP-3828-1-L and -K. This was thought to decrease the chances of a breach, by keeping SCP-3828 relatively satisfied, since it is believed that SCP-3828 primarily requires the company of its derivative entities to stay placated. Once in the holding tank, 6 Maximum Strength Suspension Electromagnets were activated facing inwards from all directions, causing SCP-3828 to be restrained from touching the walls of its containment tank, with a relative freedom of movement. However, SCP-3828-1-K rapidly experienced an unforseen ferromagnetic force due to its alloyed composition4, and was pulled towards the wall of the tank, causing that wall section to crack, bend, and leak water. Lockdown was automatically initiated in that section of Site-256 due to a detected breach, causing the magnets to switch to backup power, creating a slight surge in force and fully destroying the wall of the tank. Following this, security logs show SCP-3828 entering the sleep state necessary for formation of new instances of SCP-3828-1 and the magnets in the walls of the tank coming together, until 3 each make up SCP-3828-1-M and -M2. The electromagnets appeared to remain powered, and created an effect around SCP-3828, SCP-3828-1-K, -L, -M, and -M2 that caused all obstacles to be pushed out of the way of their egress. When the group encountered water, a short circuit occurred in -M and -M2 causing complete loss of power to the magnets. However, reactivation events have been logged since, often causing distress to both instances and the remaining SCP-3828-K instance, as well as disrupting observation equipment. There were no casualties or further breaches. The responsible staff on-site were reprimanded and demoted for poor foresight. Testing: As SCP-3828 is currently physically uncontained, testing is difficult. Also, SCP-3828 is not invulnerable or even resistant to damage moreso than a regular seal. Testing with SCP-3213 is pending due to logistical concerns. Addendum 1.1: SCP-3828-1-K2 has been extensively studied to the point of being fully deemed non-anomalous. As a result, permission has been granted to display K2 in the mess hall of Site-256. Employee feedback is strongly positive. Footnotes 1. With one of their brain halves sleeping, they turn until belly-up and slowly descend. 2. A traditional and still in-use seal hunting weapon 3. Available on demand from Site-256 non-anomalous holding lockers 4. SCP-3828-1-K was thought by personnel to be titanium. Relevant personnel were reprimanded and re-briefed. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3828" by samzeman, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3829 | keter | Item #: SCP-3829 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3829 is kept sedated within a Standard Humanoid Containment Cell. Once a week, portions of excessively large tumors are to be excised and cryogenically frozen. UPDATE 01/19/2020: SCP-3829 is uncontained following the destruction of Site-172, and is to be neutralized on sight. Description: SCP-3829 is former Site-172 Researcher Zoe Marquez. SCP-3829 suffers from an anomalous form of advanced cancer. Its entire body is covered with constantly growing, extraspacial tumors that extend through four-dimensional space with a total estimated mass above 3 tons. SCP-3829 cannot move its body. Individual cancer cells travel backwards in time upon being destroyed; the first rounds of chemo- and radiotherapy appear to have either accelerated or caused SCP-3829's initial condition. SCP-3829 is resistant to most methods of death, and attempting to euthanize it results in tumors manifesting to prevent the attempt. Lethal injections result in tumors growing around the needle and neutralizing the injected agent, asphyxiation results in the formation of tumors in the lungs that regulate oxygen and carbon dioxide, etc. Following the emergence of SCP-3731, SCP-3829's tumors were harvested in an attempt to weaponize the cells against SCP-3731 mutants. The most successful prototype was the Figueroa-Palanez "LIFELINE" cannon, capable of rapidly inducing modified (non-immortal) tumors in targets within its line of sight up to 1 km. SCP-3829 nearly woke from its sedation during development, and its dosage was slightly increased. The FP-LIFELINE was tested in an initial assault against an SCP-3731 mutant settlement on the outskirts of what was formerly Pahrump. It was setup on a nearby hill while ground forces in combat exoskeletons breached the north wall. During the initial wave of fighting, gravity cannons deployed by the front lines were used to force the mutants in a relatively enclosed area. FP-LIFELINE was then used to pick off mutants; direct hits in the head or center of mass resulted in uncontrollable tumor growth and death within 3 minutes, often causing collateral damage due to the instability of the mutations after death. Deployment of FP-LIFELINE Seismic vibrations and a diamond wall generated by the mutants halted the advance, and one mutant was shot in the leg with the FP-LIFELINE. Due to its mutation, the formation of tumors was greatly slowed. This mutant sacrificed itself and detonated a miniature star to cover the escape of the remaining mutants through a spatial anomaly. At the same time, SCP-3829 abruptly awoke from its sedation; it is hypothesized that blue matter absorbed by the last mutant's cancer cells during the battle retroactively contaminated SCP-3829 and caused it to have previously been infected. The FP-LIFELINE and all other prototypes were ordered destroyed. Upon waking, SCP-3829 was able to stand, and its tumors burst, spawning several dozen new instances of SCP-3829. These instances stormed Site-172, violently ejecting their tumors from their extraspacial origin into ordinary spacetime to deliver massive structural damage to the Site. Terminated SCP-3829 instances folded in on themselves along four-dimensional space and vanished. While the other instances wreaked havoc through the Site, one SCP-3829 instance proceeded to the sublevel and planted 20 large tumors along critical points. These tumors divided and expanded concussively, destabilizing the foundations of the Site and collapsing it. Site-172 was destroyed and SCP-3829 and its duplicates escaped with several SCP items and entities. |
SCP-3830 | safe | Item #: SCP-3830 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3830 is to be kept in a standard Safe-class storage locker in Site-64. All SCP-3830-2 specimens are to be kept within a specialized D-Class housing block used exclusively for subjects affected by non-lethal anomalous items. Should a non-D-Class Foundation personnel become an instance of SCP-3830-2, they are to be allowed to continue their employment. If the affected subject is currently assigned to an aquatic item, they are to be reassigned immediately (see Addendum 3830-B). Description: SCP-3830 is a crochet doll of red and blue coloration arguably resembling a betta fish (Betta splendens). SCP-3830's anomalous effects manifest upon a subject entering within 1 m of the object. Once in the 1 m radius area, the subject's melatonin production will substantially increase until the subject enters any stage of sleep. Upon entering said stage of sleep (hereby referred to as SCP-3830-1), the subject will experience a dream in which they are a betta fish in a river occupied solely by other betta fish. SCP-3830-1 always occurs in some form of wetland. The subject will remain in their stage of sleep until a fight is lost despite any and all attempts to awaken them. In SCP-3830-1, all betta fish which occupy the same body of water as the affected subject display complex sapience with the ability to speak and comprehend English. The fish exhibit signs of extreme hostility and will commonly engage in vulgar conversation followed by physical combat with other organisms. The physical combat with the fish commonly takes place within one of multiple small boxes consisting solely of kelp and seashells seemingly replicating the appearance of boxing rings. The fights within these boxes are commonly spectated by the other betta. The spectating betta are usually seen with the letters "SFFFC" written on multiple parts of their body. If a betta fish is to engage in combat with the affected subject and "win,"1 the subject will immediately awaken from their stage of sleep showing a complete lack of tiredness. During the subject's state of sleep, they will begin to develop aquatic respiratory organs, or gills (subject is hereby referred to as SCP-3830-2). This development will continue for approximately two hours before they finish manifestation. It is to note that the subject's regular respiratory organs remain alongside the development of the new ones. The gills which have grown on SCP-3830-2 have multiple statements of "SFFFC" written alongside its edges in a style of appearance similar to that of permanent marker. Any and all attempts to remove these markings have met with failure. Addendum 3830-A: The following is an interview between D-3830-5 and Researcher Carl Dailey. [BEGIN LOG] Researcher Dailey: Hello, D-3830-5. D-3830-5: 'Sup. Researcher Dailey: You recently underwent exposure to SCP-3830, correct? D-3830-5: [Points to gills] Uh, yeah. It was one hell of an experience. Researcher Dailey: Can you recall the events of your dream? D-3830-5: Well, sure. Firstly, I realized that I had fins. Fuckin' fins, bro. That's also when I realized that they were the same color as these fish that surrounded me. There were a bunch of them. They were very pretty, but they were assholes. We were in a river or something and they all kept picking fights with each other— oh, can't forget the insulting; there was a lot of that. They were like some WWE wrestlers, fightin' in all of these rings and shit. I'll be honest, I had a hoot watching them. Not fake like the actual WWE. At least, didn't seem like it. Researcher Dailey: Please proceed. D-3830-5: Well, one of 'em decided to pick a fight with me. I wasn't gonna let no fish kick my ass, no fuckin' way. So, I tried to beat that motherfucker. Researcher Dailey: What happened during the fight? D-3830-5: [Hesitantly] The fish kicked my ass— RKO'd me. Researcher Dailey: Can you recall anything happening following the conclusion of the fight? D-3830-5: Yeah, I still heard the motherfucker talkin' shit as my vision started to go black. Researcher Dailey: What did it say? D-3830-5: Yeah, uh— "Get put to sleep by the fishes; you clearly ain't fuckin' tough enough to sleep with the fishes." Researcher Dailey: Thank you for your time. Addendum 3830-B: Recently, SCP-3830-2 instances have reported an extreme desire to visit both rivers and aquariums in an attempt to prove that they are "tough enough to sleep with the fishes." Due to this, SCP-3830-2 instances are not to be within the vicinity of aquatic locations nor objects. Footnotes 1. This is commonly characterized by knocking the subject unconscious within SCP-3830-1. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3830" by DrCaroll, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3831 | euclid | Documentation of SCP-3831 prior to containment. Item#: SCP-3831 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3831 has been shut off from public access. Any calls made using the phone number ███ ███ ████ are to be tracked and affected subjects taken into Foundation custody. Description: SCP-3831 is a group of public telephones located in Miami, FL. It has been stripped of all furnishings and all wiring has been disconnected. Anomalous phone calls generated at this location cause human subjects who answer them to be treated as though they are "at work". Subjects will begin to be perceived as and treated as an employee of any location they are in that employs workers in some fashion. The content of SCP-3831 calls is a voice demanding that the subject come in to an unspecified workplace. These calls occur primarily during times when subjects have reported being stressed but not distracted. The voice has been reported as sounding authoritative and several affected subjects have described it as sounding like former managers or supervisors. These reports may be influenced by SCP-3831's effect. In all cases, subjects have reported the voice as being highly demanding and aggressive. Regardless of whether the subject answers the call or agrees to the request, they will become affected by SCP-3831. Initially, SCP-3831's effect will manifest itself in varying forms: Increased sensitivity to artificial lighting. Subjects will begin to have intense cravings for soda, tea, coffee and other caffeinated or sugary beverages, despite any previous dietary preferences or restrictions. Pedestrians will enter the subject's vehicle while they are driving it, attempting to have the subject drive them to a desired location. These individuals generally react negatively to refusal. Subjects suffering a medical emergency were treated as medical professionals upon reaching a hospitals or other medical facility. Instead of receiving treatment, subjects would be asked to do complex tasks like a surgical procedure. An affected subject with a garage was subjected to vehicles in need of repair driven onto their property by individuals seeking a professional mechanic. This occurred even though the subject lived alone and had not spoken to any individuals since being affected by SCP-3831. This soon escalates to family members and friends only recognizing the subject as some form of household laborer when entering their home, with most documented humans appearing to lose any interest in SCP-3831 affected subjects despite whatever their previous relationship may have been. At this point, subjects usually become homeless or isolated. Most contained subjects affected by SCP-3831 suffer some degradation of their mental faculties, caused by a combination of prolonged stress and lack of human interaction. All subjects affected by SCP-3831 have been documented to some degree as having slowed perception of the passage of time. Some subjects have been found to integrate into working spaces, sleeping in their workplace at night and avoiding human contact during working hours. It is unknown how many subjects affected by SCP-3831 currently exist outside of containment. SCP-3831 was initially discovered after aberrations were noted in a police record. An SCP-3831 affected subject had begun a lifestyle centered around shoplifting. When confronted by police, if the situation escalated to a crime scene the subject would immediately be treated like a police officer and leave the scene. Class C B A Amnestic treatment has proven ineffective in treating subjects affected by SCP-3831. ♊ PROJECT ESPRESSO ♊ crackers would be nice, you psycho. Several individuals affected by SCP-3831 have been discovered in Foundation facilities. This presents potential for a severe security breach. However, it also presents an opportunity to observe SCP-3831 affected subjects more closely over a longer period of time. If we are to identify and relocate affected individuals to areas of research where they could be isolated and monitored without realizing, it could provide a potential opportunity for more knowledge into how the anomaly operates. [⚠] This project has been suggested by the Ethics Committee for Review.Tagged 08/12/2002 SCP-3831 Effect Documentation. Both experiments and field observations are included in the interest of completion. Testing was done as part of the ongoing Project Espresso. Location Effect Motor Vehicle, On Road When the SCP-3831 affected subject was driving, pedestrians would repeatedly climb into their vehicle, either treating it as public transportation or asking to be taken to a specific location. These subjects would become aggravated when the subject exited the vehicle. Restaurant SCP-3831 affected subject was not served, but instead forcibly moved into the kitchen by the wait staff due to the belief that the subject was a chronically late cook. Subject was not able to obtain a meal. Motor Vehicle, In Garage Subject attempting to repair their vehicle had vehicles in need of repair driven onto their property by individuals seeking a professional mechanic. This occurred even though the subject lived alone and had not spoken to any individuals since being affected by SCP-3831. Factory Individual was discovered inside thresher, operating damaged partions in order to keep it functioning. Upon discovery, floor manager verbally disciplined the subject for not being efficient enough, and a write-up was documented in their records. Fast Food Restaurant Operated drive through, asking persons going through to help them instead of taking their order. Most customers ignored or made comments on being irritated by it while giving their orders. Corporate Office Discovered living inside an unoccupied office, subject had been treated as a "Vice President of Teledirectors". Repeatedly asked about telecommunications project of which the subject had no knowledge. Survived on foodstuffs found within office building. Academic Institution Students would walk up to affected subjects and hand over textbooks, demanding payment in return. Paltry or even non-monetary sums were accepted. Affected subject was also able to ride security golf carts without being questioned. SCP Foundation After the SCP-703 containment breach, several pylons used in construction of its containment apparatus were discovered to be human subjects affected by SCP-3831. This did not play a role in the breach but presents a grave risk to informational and physical security of the Foundation’s staff. It also presents the first time SCP-3831 has fully objectified a subject in terms of serving a function reserved for an inanimate object. A thorough audit of Foundation construction materials and personnel is being undertaken by the ethics committee. Ethics Committee Eyes Only Access Granted If you're reading this, you probably consider yourself loyal enough to the Foundation. They've taken care of you. It might not bother you to know you're affected by 3831. We've never been in short supply of ethically compromised scientists, but how do you think we get our clerks? Administrators and organizers, who keep the day to day mechanism of the Foundation going? Proofreaders? Hundreds like them might pass you in the halls every day. They've always been here. They always will be. Of course, it's not supposed to be in the wild. We used to have real people calling, a phone bank with anomalous handsets. It's an empty room now, somewhere in the bowels of a site. The calls don't seem to care, they keep rolling in and bringing us more people than ever. Dedicated, loyal employees. Why do you think the Foundation has a bejeweled immortal body-hopper running our human resources department? That's the only way we can keep track of who we find and who we're sent. They integrate so quickly. In more ways than one. The Foundation will take care of all of them, in the end. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3831" by Anonymous, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3832 | euclid | Item#: 3832 Level1 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo SCP-3832 displaying its typical 'jagged frown.' Item #: SCP-3832 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3832 is to be kept in a standard secure locker at Site-64. A tracking tag has been affixed for ease of recovery during a relocation event. Upon breaching containment, tag monitors are to determine which potential relocation site, and approximately where within said site, SCP-3832 has positioned itself at. The personnel stationed at the corresponding location are to be notified and containment procedures specific to their location are to be enacted. Potential Relocation Site (PRS) PRS Specific Containment Procedures Site-64 Any personnel located near SCP-3832's ambush position are to be notified via intercom and encouraged to secure glasses, held objects and other material before continuing with their activities. Research personnel are to seek out and provoke an attack. Once SCP-3832 is secured in Site-64, it is to be returned to its locker. 6600 N Baltimore Ave, Portland, OR (PRS-Truffle) Personnel are to locate and provoke an attack by SCP-3832 as discreetly as possible. Upon recovery, SCP-3832 is to be packed into a secure container and delivered to Site-64 immediately thereafter, whereupon Site-64 specific containment procedures are to be enacted. 7343 Eldorado Ct, Mclean, VA (PRS-Townhouse) Personnel are to locate and provoke an attack by SCP-3832. Upon recovery, personnel are to physically hold SCP-3832 in place and maintain visual contact of it to hasten a relocation event to either Site-64 or PRS-Truffle, whereupon the appropriate containment procedures are to be followed. Description: SCP-3832 is a queen-sized bed pillow with an attached Post-It®-brand note depicting a crudely drawn face. The face has been observed changing, within the confines of its art style; however, these changes do not deviate dramatically from the default 'jagged frown' expression and tend to be small additions or the alteration of a single aspect, such as the curvature of the mouth. SCP-3832 is stuffed with goose and Grey Duck down feathers and consistently smells, and feels, as though it has been recently infused with scented fabric softener1. SCP-3832 has demonstrated itself to be capable of teleportation, which it uses to breach containment. Relocation events occur randomly, though a higher frequency of relocation has been noted to occur when SCP-3832 is being directly observed. This frequency further increases when SCP-3832 is physically restrained. SCP-3832 has only been observed to be capable of teleportation into the interiors of locations it has previously been in, or near to when not in a sealed container. It is currently unknown what requirements exist to designate a new location as a potential relocation site. Current potential relocation sites are Site-64, PRS-Townhouse (where it was recovered) and PRS-Truffle (see incident 3832-NR1). SCP-3832 cannot relocate consecutively; it must initiate an attack before it can relocate again. Following a relocation event, SCP-3832 is considered to be in an active state. In this state, SCP-3832 will mimic behaviors associated with ambush predators: it will hide itself as best it can (typically in containers or around furniture) and wait for an ambush opportunity to arise. Should an individual come close enough to SCP-3832's position, and there is an unobstructed path between SCP-3832 and its victim, an attack will be triggered. This involves SCP-3832 throwing itself at its victim at low velocities. To date, SCP-3832 has not been observed traveling at speeds capable of directly causing injury, nor at speeds significantly different from those of a human-thrown, non-anomalous pillow. Upon impact with its target, SCP-3832 has been observed to consistently make a "squeak," similar to that of a squeezed dog toy. Following an attack and prior to a relocation event, SCP-3832 is in an inactive state. In this state, it is completely inanimate and can be safely handled as a non-anomalous pillow. The Post-It® note making up SCP-3832’s face is permanently affixed. Although more resistant to tearing than non-anomalous equivalents, attempting to forcibly remove SCP-3832’s face will immediately trigger a relocation event. The current theory is that SCP-3832 is capable and willing to use teleportation as an escape method if it feels threatened. In order to carry out 'facial adhesion' tests and/or other tests which could damage the face, SCP-3832 must first be cleared for potential neutralization. Notable Ambushes Report: SCP-3832 Ambush Location Victim(s) Results Inside the refrigerator inside PRS-Townhouse Field Agent Viola Smythe SCP-3832 impacted with FA Smythe’s face when the refrigerator door was opened. SCP-3832’s resistance to high/low temperatures noted. Above Dr. Prangley's office locker Researcher Franklin Prangley Previously informed of SCP-3832’s general location, Dr. Prangley pushed SCP-3832 off his locker with a meterstick. SCP-3832 landed on the floor before launching itself into Dr. Prangley's lower abdomen. Interaction logged. Behind the coffee machine in the canteen Security Officer Jennifer Blaire SCP-3832 impacted with SO Blaire’s ankle and caused her to spill her coffee. SO Blaire suffered minor 1st degree burns to her wrist and palm. Injury logged. Behind the television in PRS-Townhouse Field Agent Gordon Gompton and Field Agent Viola Smythe After triggering an attack, FA Smythe and FA Gompton apparently began to throw SCP-3832 at each other. According to testimony, SCP-3832 began to make its characteristic squeak with every impact after repeated throwing, and its face had also changed into a significantly happier one. When asked to elaborate, FA Gompton provided a photograph confirming that, during the 'pillow-fight,' SCP-3832's eyebrows had disappeared, and its jagged frown had smoothed out and upturned to resemble a smile. Tests designed to replicate this effect have been unanimously approved by research personnel. Under the desk in Site-64’s Director’s office Site Director Edgar Holman SCP-3832 impacted with Director Holman’s shins. SCP-3832 relocated to PRS-Townhouse before research personnel could arrive for recovery. Interaction logged. Inside SCP-3960’s humanoid containment cell Senior Researcher Adrien Bleikoff SCP-3960-4 was instructed by Agent Beatrice Ross to move SCP-3832 to the center of the cell and maintain physical contact. SCP-3832 remained immobile until Dr. Bleikoff entered for recovery, whereupon it launched itself. Due to 3960-4's hold, however, SCP-3832 could not effectively become airborne and only impacted with Dr. Bleikoff's feet. SCP-3832's characteristic impact squeak was notably lower in pitch and drawn teardrops appeared beneath the face's eyes. Interaction and image evidence logged. Incident 3832-NR1: The following report details the incident which led to the establishment of PRS-Truffle following SCP-3832's relocation into an on-site janitorial closet 2 days afterwards. PRS-Truffle currently operates under Cover Story-07, "Under New Management." Factory floor tours have been prohibited and civilian accessible areas have been deprived of opaque furniture and containers SCP-3832 would use to conceal itself. On 02/14/2017, SCP-3832 relocated into the trunk of Big Sister's2 car while technicians were attempting to fix a glitch with its tracking tag. The car was mobile and departing from Site-64 at the time. Along with SCP-3832's research team, neither Big Sister nor security staff at the gate were aware that SCP-3832 could relocate into mobile containers. Big Sister arrived at PRS-Truffle, St. John’s Chocolate Factory, to pick up a delivery intended for [REDACTED]. Upon opening the trunk to store the box, SCP-3832 launched itself at Big Sister, colliding with the box in her hands, and propelling the tapered tip of the heart-shaped box into her mouth. After storing SCP-3832 into her trunk and recovering both the dropped goods and tooth fragment, Big Sister contacted the Foundation. A recovery team was dispatched and SCP-3832 was recovered without further incident. Camera footage that captured the event was appropriately doctored. Neither parking garage security nor Big Sister were disciplined. During the debriefing with SCP-3832's research team, Big Sister shared a photograph she had taken using her cellphone while waiting for the recovery team. The photo has been logged into SCP-3832's research files and has yet to be reproduced under testing conditions. While SCP-3832 was recovered on-site displaying its typical jagged frown expression, Big Sister's photograph clearly shows that, for a brief time, SCP-3832's expression had significantly changed. In the image, SCP-3832's mouth is upturned into a dimpled smile, and its eyes are drawn to appear as cartoon-like hearts. Footnotes 1. Olfactory tests have detected the scent of jasmine and pear, as well as complementary traces of mandarins and peonies 2. 'Big Sister' refers to a Site-64 document censor and cannot be officially identified for security reasons |
SCP-3833 | euclid | Nanga Parbat. Item #: SCP-3833 Special Containment Procedures: Site-3833 has been constructed one kilometer below SCP-3833's lower bound to assist in monitoring and containment efforts. No personnel or civilians are allowed to enter SCP-3833, aside from D-class personnel equipped with recording equipment for testing purposes. A no-fly zone is to be enforced around Nanga Parbat under the guise of Standard Cover Story 088 ("Weather Hazard"). Description: SCP-3833 is a rectangular volume of space centered on the summit of Nanga Parbat, a mountain in the Himalayas mountain range. The lower bound of SCP-3833 is approximately six kilometers above sea level, and SCP-3833 is one kilometer in width and length. The upper bound of SCP-3833 is unknown1, but is believed to be between 20 and 30 kilometers above sea level. SCP-3833 plays host to two known anomalous phenomena, designated SCP-3833-1 and SCP-3833-2. SCP-3833-1 is a recurring phenomena where the conditions of Nanga Parbat will become extremely severe. An unusually intense snowstorm signifies the arrival of SCP-3833-1. SCP-3833-1 often involves: The aforementioned snowstorm, described as being strong and very cold. Rock formations becoming increasingly difficult to climb. Equipment failure becoming increasingly common. Areas of the mountain become iced over and hard to navigate. Without intervention from SCP-3833-2, death due to SCP-3833-1 is unavoidable. Circumstances attributable to equipment failure prevent subjects from exiting SCP-3833. None of this anomalous phenomena has been observed by subjects outside of SCP-3833. SCP-3833-1 tends to only affect solo climbers or small groups, though SCP-3833-1 has been known to cause the crashes of commercial airliners flying through SCP-3833 on rare occasions. SCP-3833-1 typically lasts 3 to 6 hours before subsiding. SCP-3833-2 is a cabin located within SCP-3833. Though GPS devices left within SCP-3833-2 do not change location, SCP-3833-2 has not been observed outside of SCP-3833-1 occurrences. SCP-3833-3 is a Caucasian male of Slavic descent who inhabits SCP-3833-2, apparently as its caretaker. In approximately 33% of all SCP-3833-1 occurrences, the subject will find SCP-3833-2. SCP-3833-3 will invite the subject to enter SCP-3833-2. Once they are inside, SCP-3833-3 will coerce the subject into staying in SCP-3833-2 to shelter themselves from SCP-3833-1. Once SCP-3833-1 has subsided, the subject will be given proper equipment to descend Nanga Parbat if their equipment was broken. Discovery: SCP-3833-1 and SCP-3833-2 came to the Foundation's attention after mountain climber Jerry Helder ascended Nanga Parbat and encountered both SCP-3833-1 and SCP-3833-2. Helder posted about this incident on his mountain-climbing blog, where it was flagged by Foundation webcrawler I/O-BLACKLEECH for potential anomalous activity. The blog was seized by Foundation assets and the post was deleted. Addendum 02/01/2018: All attempts to find SCP-3833-2 using long-range surveillance has failed. In all instances, SCP-3833-2 only appears during manifestations of SCP-3833-1. Similarly to SCP-3833-1, SCP-3833-2 is unobservable outside of SCP-3833, making observation outside of SCP-3833 impossible. With authorization from Site Director Graham and Resource Marshall ██████, short-range interaction through D-class personnel has been approved. Fifty D-class personnel of above-average physical health have been allocated to Site-3833 for use in this operation. One group of four D-class personnel is to ascend Nanga Parbat and then descend the mountain. Should they ascend and descend successfully, another group is to ascend the mountain. Should they encounter SCP-3833-1, they are to attempt to find the cliffface where SCP-3833-2 is located. If they find SCP-3833-2, they are to enter and use audiovisual equipment to record interactions with SCP-3833-3. Five groups encountered SCP-3833-1, and only one encountered SCP-3833-2. No further incursions into SCP-3833 are planned. View Attachment: Relevant Audiovisual Excerpts Close File VIDEO TRANSCRIPT <Begin Log> Agent Krunt: Alright boys, recorders are on. For the record, state your names and numbers. D-8990: Marty ███████, D-8990. D-2344: Fredericks ████, D-2344. D-0110: Clyde █████, D-0110. D-5671: Micheal ████, D-5671. Agent Krunt: This is Agent James Krunt of the D-Class management division. I'm about to send these guys up to the peak of the mountain in hopes of encountering SCP-3833-2. We will have sniper rifles trained on them at all times2 to ensure compliance. Do you have anything to say before I send you up? D-2344: I already fucking hate this. Agent Krunt: Great. Well, you know your mission, please begin to ascend the mountain. The groups begins to ascend Nanga Parbat. 15 minutes and 43 seconds of little interaction. D-8990: I think we're outside earshot of Agent Cunt and his minions now. D-0110: Don't call him that! Remember what- D-8990: Yeah, what are they gonna do? Shoot us down for making shitty puns? Fat chance. D-2344: Shut up, Marty. D-8990: Shut the hell up, Fred. The group continues to ascend the mountain, until they reach a very tall cliff-wall. D-0110: Fucking hell, how are we supposed to climb this? Researcher Calvin (Over Radio): You have a winch in your backpack. D-5671: Wait, you're still listening in on us? Researcher Calvin: Affirmative. Pause. D-8990: So, is Agent Cunt there with you? 33 minutes 46 seconds of little interaction. Wind begins to rise in intensity. D-0110: It's getting pretty fucking windy up here. Researcher Calvin: Is it also cloudy? D-2344: Yeah, it's basically overcast. Cloud cover prevents direct observation of the group through satellite telescope. Researcher Calvin: This could be the anomalous storm we're looking for. Remember to keep close to the walls and watch your step, and try to navigate to [REDACTED] D-0110: Got it. 2 minutes 12 seconds of little interaction. The group reaches a relatively flat part of the mountain. D-2344: Stop pushing me around, Marty. D-8990: Wasn't me. The wind pushes D-2344 to the ground, and slides him towards a nearby cliff. D-2344 manages to employ his ice pick, but the end of the pick breaks off, and D-2344 falls into a chasm. Fall is assumed to be fatal. D-8990: Jesus fucking Christ. D-0110: I can swear to god there wasn't a chasm there a second ago. 18 minutes 23 seconds of little interaction, aside from complaints from the group about the environment. D-5671: Fuck, it's getting colder by the minute up here. My coat isn't helping at all. D-0110: The snow's like a spray of fucking bullets. Researcher Calvin: Remember to go to [REDACTED] D-8990: You- Interference with audiovisual equipment makes communication impossible at this point. Signal is not received for fifteen minutes until backup equipment is remotely activated. D-8990: I can't fucking take it anymore. It's too intense. D-0110: Wait, I think I hear something? Analysis of audio at this point has revealed that the sound of a man's voice can be heard through the storm. D-8990: It's coming from over there! The group rounds a corner and discovers a wooden cabin matching descriptions of SCP-3833-2. A man, presumably SCP-3833-3, is standing in front of the door and yelling. SCP-3833-3: Hey! Over here! The group enters SCP-3833-2. SCP-3833-3 closes the door to SCP-3833-2. SCP-3833-3: Welcome to the top of the mountain. Would you like something to drink? D-5671: Fuck yeah. I'm fucking dying from thirst. SCP-3833-3 leads the group over to a set of two worn, red couches and a stone fireplace. SCP-3833-3 then enters a kitchen area to make drinks. The group takes their coats off. D-0110: Damn, these couches are comfy. D-8990: I'm guessing it's just because we're finally out of the fucking cold. D-5671: This reminds me a bit of my grammie's old cabin. I can swear to God she had that exact same painting of a moose… SCP-3833-3 enters the room carrying a tray of four cups of hot chocolate. SCP-3833-3 reacts with shock at a series of dermal abrasions on D-0110's arm and chest. SCP-3833-3 puts the tray down onto a table in between the couches, and the group begins to drink. SCP-3833-3 takes out a metal box underneath one of the couches, and takes out a small, unlabeled bottle of liquid from the box. D-0110: What's that? SCP-3833-3: A bit of medicine for those scars. SCP-3833-3 applies some liquid to his hand and then uses his hand to apply it to D-0110's arms, and a previously unseen set of abrasions on D-0110's chest. SCP-3833-3 then wraps gauze from the box around D-0110's arms. SCP-3833-3: It won't heal right away, but that should take the pain away. Make sure you keep the bandages on. D-0110: Thanks, man. I appreciate it. The group sits in silence for three minutes until they finish their drinks. Personnel at Base Command push the group to ask SCP-3833-3 interview questions. D-8990: So, what's your name? SCP-3833-3: You can call me Russel. D-8990: Alright, Russel, what is this place? SCP-3833-3: It's a cabin I built here a while back. Nothing more. D-8990: Alright. Why is it so damn stormy up here? SCP-3833-3: The higher up you get, the colder it gets. If I'm not mistaken, that's how it works for every mountain. Pause. SCP-3833-3: Did you enjoy your drinks? D-5671: They're great. They taste all sweet and fuzzy. SCP-3833-3: Well, it's getting pretty late now. It is of note that the approximate time was 9:03 PM. SCP-3833-3: You must be tired, after all that's happened today. Would you like to rest? D-0110: Would I? I'd kill for a half-decent cot. SCP-3833-3 stands up. SCP-3833-3: Follow me. SCP-3833-3 leads the group into a hallway adjacent to the living room, and then to a bedroom. The room contains two bunk beds with red comforters covered in blue stars. The walls and ceiling are colored blue, and covered with a white spiral pattern. A window on one wall allows for a view of SCP-3833-1. A spruce dressing stand is pressed against the remaining wall, and has a beige lamp and a blue analog clock resting on it. The group slides into the bunk beds and goes to sleep. Audiovisual equipment is set to deactivate for six hours during night time. The next day, SCP-3833-1 is still in the process of occurring. Personnel stationed at Site-3833 confirms the precense of SCP-3833-1. This means that SCP-3833-1 has been occurring for 9 hours, making it the longest occurrence of SCP-3833-1 to date. After a short period of time, the group leaves the bedroom to find SCP-3833-3 in the living room, staring out the window. SCP-3833-3: The storm doesn't usually last this long. I don't think you'll be able to go out, so I guess you'll have to stay here. D-0110: That sucks. SCP-3833-3: Hey, it's not all bad. I'm making muffins, do you want any? Once the group finishes eating breakfast, they begin to play board games such as checkers and chess by SCP-3833-3's suggestion. Little interaction is recorded during this period. D-8990: Hey, do you have cable up here? SCP-3833-3: Unfortunately, no. It does get lonely up here, but I doubt anyone would be able to run a cable up here. D-8990: I think we're missing the Super Bowl up here. D-5671: Oh crap, you're right! D-0110: Which teams are playing again? 89 minutes and 45 seconds of little interaction. D-0110: And… checkmate. D-5671: God damn it. D-5671 walks up to SCP-3833-3, who is working in the kitchen. D-5671: Russel, do you have any other games? I swear to God, if I lose another game of chess to Clyde I'll throw myself out the window into the damn storm. SCP-3833-3: Well, I do have something else… The group sets up a game of Dungeons & Dragons. They play for 164 minutes and 33 seconds without interruption. D-5671: I take out my sword and fight the elf. SCP-3833-3: Alright, then roll initiative. The group rolls twenty-sided dies. D-0110: Fuck yeah! D-8990: Another fucking natural twenty? I swear to God, Clyde, what are you? D-0110: Jackson Evergreen, level two Ranger, warrior of Neverwinter, and soon-to-be killer of elves. SCP-3833-3: Alright, you get to go first, Clyde. D-0110: I peg 'im between the eyes with my crossbow. D-0110 rolls a die. SCP-3833-3: You miss. It's now the elf's turn. He casts Eldritch Blast on Crogon- D-8990: Fuck me, another sorcerer? SCP-3833-3: It's Micheal's turn, now. D-5671: I walk up and stab the fucker in the neck. D-0110: Damn, in the neck? We gotta catch this guy for information! SCP-3833-3: You're almost as cruel as the mountain, Micheal! Pause. SCP-3833-3: Anyways, roll for damage. The group continues to play Dungeons & Dragons for a while longer, before stopping and sharing personal stories. D-5671: …and then I got the fuck out of the stairwell before the creep got me. Then I got transferred to here, and I had to climb this damn mountain. That's my story. D-0110: Alright, Russel, it looks like it's your turn. SCP-3833-3: Well, all of you have so many interesting stories, and I'm sorry for being so dull. I was born in Kaliningrad half a century ago. I had a relatively quiet childhood, before I went to Saint Petersburg to study Culinary Arts. I was a chef for the better part of my life, then I came up here. D-8990: <At the insistence of Researcher Calvin, connected through radio.> But why did you come up here in the first place? D-0110: I'm more interested in how he got up here, with the storms and all. SCP-3833-3 pauses. SCP-3833-3: It all started when a close friend of mine died here on the mountain. I was devastated, and at the funeral I vowed to make sure nobody died up here again. My vows were strong, and my will stronger, so I constructed a humble cabin to shelter the poor fools who came up here. SCP-3833-3 begins to cry. D-8990: What's wrong, Russel? SCP-3833-3: It's not the storm, it's the mountain. The mountain hates. It hated Randall back when it swallowed him up. It hates every little person who tries to climb up the mountain. It hates you. And it especially hates me. Pause. SCP-3833-1 is still occurring, creating a record time of 25 hours for duration. SCP-3833-3: I'm alright. It's getting pretty late, now. We should go to bed. The group goes to bed. Audiovisual equipment is shut down to preserve power. However, equipment is not reactivated by the group in the morning. Remote activation is necessary. SCP-3833-1 has died down. The equipment is still in the bedroom. The following audio is audible through the equipment. SCP-3833-3: Ah, you're up quite early. D-5671: That's because we made a decision. We're going to stay here. SCP-3833-3: Pardon? D-0110: Yeah, you're right, this mountain fucking sucks. But you don't have to stay up here alone. D-5671: We'll help out wherever we can, we promise. Pause. SCP-3833-3: I don't see why not. It gets a little bit lonely up here, and I'm tired of just having my thoughts for company. The equipment does not record any more dialogue, and runs out of power 72 hours later. <End Log> View Attachment: Status Report of SCP-3833-2, 07/19/2018 Close File STATUS REPORT On 07/19/2018, another group of five D-class personnel were made to ascend Nanga Parbat, and encountered SCP-3833-1. The group was directed to [DATA REDACTED], where SCP-3833-2 was located. It was discovered that two new cabins were built next to SCP-3833-2, apparently for the residence of the original group sent up to SCP-3833-2. The D-Class sent to investigate were persuaded to remove their equipment and enter the cabins. These personnel are considered to have integrated to this community of D-class personnel and SCP-3833-3. The two new cabins have been designated SCP-3833-2A and -2B. Due to the risk of sending trained agents into SCP-3833, and the risk of losing more D-class personnel to SCP-3833-2, no further personnel are to ascend Nanga Parbat. Footnotes 1. Due to the difficulty in testing the upper bound. 2. Untrue, said by Agent Krunt to motivate the group.

SCP-3834 | safe | SCP-3834-A Item #: SCP-3834 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3834-A through X are to be separately held in standard containment lockers at Site-37. The location of SCP-3834’s discovery is to be restricted from public access until the Foundation Archeological Division has determined the site to be free of further anomalous content. Description: SCP-3834 is the collective designation of 24 phonographic records individually designated SCP-3834-A through SCP-3834-X. Instances of SCP-3834 are approximately 30.5 centimeters in diameter, and possess no physical or chemical differences from standard phonographic records. All instances of SCP-3834 were discovered within a combination locked safe unearthed during a paleontological excavation in █████████, Montana. The safe was encased in sedimentary rock approximately 760 meters below ground prior to its recovery, along with the remains of several instances of Troodon formosus. Radiometric dating of these remains indicates that they are between 75.5 and 77 million years old. The stone surrounding the safe displayed no signs of disruption indicative of artificial burial, suggesting that SCP-3834 was incased through natural processes. Aside from their location of discovery, SCP-3834 instances possess no inherent anomalous properties. Instances of SCP-3834 each contain between 40 and 45 minutes of content, with degraded sound quality indicative of repeated usage. Most content contained within SCP-3834 consists of songs which were popular between the late 1950s and late 1960s, from notable artists such as The Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, and Engelbert Humperdinck. All songs contained on instances of SCP-3834 are performed by the same entity, designated SCP-3834-1. SCP-3834-1 has a voice resembling that of an adult human male, and is introduced at the beginning of each recording as Don Hartley. This name is the same as that of a traveling musician who was declared missing on ██/██/2004. At the start of each record, SCP-3834-1 is introduced by a separate entity, designated SCP-3834-2. SCP-3834-2 has a distinctly inhuman voice, but speaks intelligible English, and generally spends between 10 and 45 seconds describing SCP-3834-1 in a positive and enthusiastic manner. Although most of these introductions focus on SCP-3834-1’s musical abilities, certain descriptions focus on other traits and past actions of SCP-3834-1. These descriptions suggest that SCP-3834-1 was a figure of great social influence at the time of their recording, and possibly a governmental or religious figure of some kind (see Addendum 3834.1). In addition to SCP-3834-1 and SCP-3834-2, miscellaneous noises can be heard on SCP-3834 instances which suggest additional entities were present during their initial recordings. These include the sounds of various musical instruments, including but not limited to electric guitars, bass guitars, drum sets, cellos, trumpets, and trombones. The sound of applause can also be heard between individual songs, along with noises resembling barking and screeching. The exact number and nature of the entities involved in the creation of SCP-3834 is currently unknown. Addendum 3834.1: SCP-3834 Notable Transcripts Instance: SCP-3834-A SCP-3834-2: Welcome, ladies and gentlesaurs, to the debut performance of the one and only Don Hartley! The being who, just a few short moons ago, emerged from his box of lightning, and gave us the gifts of fire and speech, is now here to give us his third and greatest gift yet, a little thing that he likes to call music. Now, don’t let his looks fool you, he may not have claws or a tail, but that doesn’t mean he won’t get you clappin’ and shakin’ yours! [several unintelligible clicking sounds are heard, possibly laughter] But seriously folks, a lot of hard work has gone into this show, so sit back, relax, and prepare to have your earholes blown clean off! (Applause) END TRANSCRIPT Instance: SCP-3834-F SCP-3834-2: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to another showing of the most sensatious cretaceous musical phenomenon around, Don Hartley! Traveler of the lightning box, bringer of the three gifts, blah blah blah, you all know the story. [unintelligible clicking] We’ve got a great show for you all tonight, and remember, if you want to take some of the magic back to your families, we’ll selling records after tonight’s performance of all Don’s greatest hits. Feel free to pick one up on your way out. Now, without further adieu, let’s get on with the show. Take it away, Donny! (Applause) END TRANSCRIPT Instance: SCP-3834-J SCP-3834-2: Hey, hey, hey, everybody! We’ve got another spectacular show for you all toni- SCP-3834-1: Hang on, hang on. Thanks for the intro, Jim, but do you mind if I take it from here? SCP-3834-2: Oh, sure, of course SCP-3834-1: Thank you. Now, you all know It’s been a while since I’ve put on one of these shows, and I just thought I’d have a little heart to heart with you all for a moment. The truth is, well, the truth is I’ve been trying to go home. (Gasps) SCP-3834-1: Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t love it here. You guys are like family to me. It’s just that this isn’t what I had planned. I’ve spent all my free time since I came here trying to fix the machine, but I think it’s busted for good. I don’t think I’ll ever get to go home. (silence for 6 seconds. Quiet murmuring can be heard) SCP-3834-1: But I didn’t get on this stage tonight just to whine. I came here to tell you all that I’ve accepted my situation. If I had to do it again, I don’t think I’d want it any other way. I’ve gotten to put on these shows, and be a rock star just like I’ve always dreamed, and I got to meet all of you. You’re the ones who made this all possible, and for that, I thank you. (Applause) SCP-3834-1: Alright, Now that I’ve said what I’ve needed to say, we can get into what you all really came to see. We’ve got a spectacular night planned for you guys. In honor of my tenth live performance, we’ll be playing all your favorites, plus some new ones I’ve been saving for just this occasion. So please, enjoy the show! (Applause) END TRANSCRIPT ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3834" by Wildman8, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3835 | safe | close Info X 94.85% (+92) 5.15% (-5) -% (+0) -% (-0) Item #: SCP-3835 Special Containment Procedures: No individual Foundation agents are to occupy SCP-3835 for longer than fourteen consecutive hours. Personnel are not permitted to re-enter SCP-3585 until such time as their blood has a tetrahydrocannabinol level of no more than 2.5 ng / mL. Personnel assigned to SCP-3835 are to remain under the influence of at least 200mg of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for the duration of their shift. MTF Delta-20 ("Blaze It") is to patrol the perimeter surrounding SCP-3835 under the guise of local forest rangers. Varying strains of THC are provided upon request. Description: SCP-3835 is a non-Euclidean1 Papa John's Pizza located within a pollard beech tree in Catskill, New York. While normally imperceptible to the human eye, a door leading to SCP-3835's interior can be accessed while subjects are experiencing the effects of THC. The interior of SCP-3835 resembles a non-anomalous Papa John's with one major difference; all windows, save for the small window within the door leading to the interior, are covered with bark. Pizzas prepared within SCP-3835 are comprised of wood, pine sap, and an unknown substance that are combined and physically transmuted within the on-site oven, though the exact nature of how this is accomplished is unknown. These pizzas, once processed, are indistinguishable from non-anomalous Papa John's brand pizza and can be purchased using non-anomalous currency or through bartering with an SCP-3835-1 instance. SCP-3835-1 instances are green bipedal entities averaging a height between 0.9 and 1.2 meters. All SCP-3835-1 instances wear attire identical to that of standard-issue Papa John's uniforms. SCP-3835-1 instances are capable of speaking both English as well as an unknown, consonant-heavy language. Interview SCP-3835-1 "Tristan" SCP-3835 was discovered by Junior Researcher Umar Hadid during his leave of absence following the Post-Containment Incident. He was awarded a Greenhead Explorer Award and was granted permission to document the anomaly before returning to his leave. Junior Researcher Hadid entered SCP-3835, accompanied by an armed escort comprised of members of MTF Delta-20. Upon the completion of his order2, an SCP-3835-1 instance agreed to an interview during its allotted break period. The following interview has been attached below. Interviewer: Junior Researcher Umar Hadid Interviewed: SCP-3835-1 <Begin Log> J.R. Hadid: Alright dude, can you uh… SCP-3835-1: ( Speaking an unknown language ) ( There are several seconds of silence. Junior Researcher Hadid coughs several times and sniffles. ) J.R. Hadid: You. Name, please. SCP-3835-1: Horith Ramos of House Valkayn. You've asked me that six times now. J.R. Hadid: Sorry, I'm a little… cloudy. ( SCP-3835-1 nods and leans back in its chair. It pulls out a pocket knife and a small, semi-carved statue from its pocket and begins whittling. Delta 20 Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Echo take their seats at the adjacent table and observe SCP-3835-1. J.R. Hadid coughs and shakes his head. ) J.R. Hadid: What are you doing? Horse SCP-3835-1: What, never seen a goblin whittle on his break before? J.R. Hadid: I mean what are you doing here in this fucking tree? SCP-3835-1: Running a Papa John's. ( J.R. Hadid leans his head back and sighs. ) J.R. Hadid: Look man, I'm just trying to get some work done so can you please give me a straightforward answer. Horith SCP-3835-1: Let me ask you this, buddy. Why are you here? In our place? You and your friends got your pizza, you got your interview, got my name, what else do you want? J.R. Hadid: An explanation. ( SCP-3835-1 scoffs. ) SCP-3835-1: For what? It ain't my business what you business affairs you pursue. Why are you so nosey? J.R. Hadid: We're scien- we- we're scientists. Are you safe? ( SCP-3835-1 hands the now completed wooden sculpture to Delta 20-Alpha, who hands it to Beta. The sculpture animates and proceeds to move in a rhythmic manner that would suggest it is dancing. Beta, Gamma, and Echo are laughing. Alpha's attention remains focused on SCP-3835-1. ) ( J.R. Hadid attempts to signal to Alpha but is unsuccessful. SCP-3835-1 frowns, pulls out a small block of wood and begins carving into it. ) SCP-3835-1: You know, what's funny? We were safe for a long time before you got involved. Those hairy fucks tried to wipe us out centuries ago. Our cousins graciously closed the well off before we could escape into the forest. Left us on this side of the shit show. J.R. Hadid: What happened? Hoith Horse Horith SCP-3835-1: They stole our names and fled, that's what. We had to improvise. By the time the big boys figured out where we went, well, they were too mellowed out to do anything about it. Couldn't stay focused long enough. Eventually, after enough of 'em went missing, we were at peace. J.R. Hadid: Was this always ( He coughs ) a Papa John's? SCP-3835-1: No. But times changed. Your kind likes their pizza, and my kind aims to deliver. Unlike DiGornio. ( J.R. Hadid laughs. SCP-3835-1 does not look up from its wooden carving. ) SCP-3835-1: And, you know after a while we stopped hearing from folks. Stopped seeing those behemoths. Stopped hearing from our friends and family. Started gettin' hungry. J.R. Hadid: What'd you do? ( The initial statue returns to SCP-3835-1 with four wallets. Beta, Gamma, and Echo laugh. Alpha continues to stare as she consumes a slice of Hawaiian pizza. SCP-3835-1 stores the wallets in its pant pocket. ) SCP-3835-1: Made deals with the locals for food, money to buy food, construction efforts, you know how society works. And now… ( SCP-3835-1 sets the second statue on the table between it and J.R. Hadid. The second statue becomes animated and rolls tetrahydrocannabinol residue within a napkin. Using anomalous means, the statue lights the end of the rolled napkin before handing it to J.R. Hadid. ) SCP-3835-1: ( Rifling through the content of the wallets. ) Well, we all make a living somehow. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3836 | euclid | To prevent unexpected modes of locomotion, SCP-3836 must be made to report the intended purpose of the vehicle before testing. Entirety of report consists of "Go fast" in all cases, instructions rescinded. Item #: SCP-3836 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3836 is to be kept in a 4 meter by 4 meter by 5 meter chamber, furnished with a bed, sink, shower and jungle gym. SCP-3836 is to be provided with tools and small pieces of machinery for entertainment as requested. Music may be played in the chamber at SCP-3836's request between the hours of 9 AM and 6 PM. SCP-3836 may be allowed to exit its chamber and travel the facility, provided it has at least one escort. SCP-3836 is to be fed twice a day, and is to receive an oil change monthly. Any materials used in testing with SCP-3836 must be approved by any Level 3 or higher staff before use. All testing is to be performed on the outdoors demolitions testing range onsite, with all observers behind a protective barrier. + View Revision - Hide Revision As of 11/17/2017, SCP-3836 is uncontained. Foundation radar is to continue to monitor deep space for any signs of SCP-3836. Description: SCP-3836 is the corpse of an adult male Western Lowland Gorilla1. The upper half of the corpse has most of the flesh missing and bears light scorch marks over the exposed bone. The skull has a large split down the middle of the face, and has no flesh on it other than the eyeballs. Minor decomposition has occurred across the body, as well as minor injuries. All blood in SCP-3836 has been replaced with a mixture of commercially-available engine oil through unknown means. If this oil is not changed at least once every 6 weeks, SCP-3836 will enter a comatose state until new oil is provided. SCP-3836 normally wears a large pair of heavily-stained overalls, workboots and tinted protective goggles. Despite the damage done to it, SCP-3836 remains fully animate and sapient, and is capable of movement and crude speech. SCP-3836 has shown to have much higher levels of intelligence than other members of its species, being able to read and write in English and perform basic arithmetic, albeit both with occasional frequent errors. SCP-3836 demonstrates expertise in the areas of mechanics and engineering, despite lacking in other areas of intelligence normally essential to understanding such materials. It has shown to have a simplistic personality, and enjoys listening to fast-paced music and making repairs and modifications to motor vehicles. The goal of these creations, as stated repeatedly by SCP-3836, is to "Go fast". + Show Interview Log - Hide Interview Log Interview 3836-011-D Date: 8/7/2015 Interviewer: Dr. Sambre Interviewee: SCP-3836 [BEGIN LOG] Dr. Sambre: Good afternoon, SCP-3836. I appreciate you agreeing to an interview. SCP-3836: It okay. Done with last fast, need time for think of new. No busy. Dr. Sambre: I see, you'll have plenty of time to think. Now, I'd like to know a little more about you. For instance, could you tell me where you learned how to talk? SCP-3836: Talk easy, it just air go fast from mouth. I am know all fast things. Words, is harder. Not all words fast. Learn all fast words from book, no need other. Dr. Sambre: Mmhm. You've made it clear you like fast things. Why is that? SCP-3836 rises out of the chair, and strikes a heroic pose with one foot on the table and one hand over its chest. SCP-3836: Fast is way world go! World? Fast around sun! Warm from sun? Very fast, to world! Me, you? Have leg, leg not so fast. Need go faster, reach true fast! Become like sun! Warm for all, bright and shine! Faster than dead, no more dead! Only fast! Dr. Sambre: …And you hope to accomplish this through your machines? SCP-3836: Is good start. Still need faster. More boom in engine, or maybe just more engine. Or both! Dr. Sambre: Okay, as long as the "boom" stays in the engine. One more question, and then you can go back to your thinking. You seem to have… severe injuries on the top half of your body. Where did you get them, and how have you survived? SCP-3836: Oh, I lean out window when go big fast. No know how fast, dial go boom after say lots of nines. Dr. Sambre: …And you survived this? SCP-3836: Is okay, I wear goggles. [END LOG] The primary anomalous ability of SCP-3836 is the creation and application of anomalous modifications to motor vehicles. Without fail, any and all modifications made by SCP-3836 will result in anomalous phenomena occurring upon attempts to drive the vehicle. These anomalies include successful installation of normally incompatible mechanisms, bestowing anomalous properties upon preexisting components via normal physical modification, and the fabrication and usage of entirely new anomalous components. Any attempts to replicate these modifications by any individual other than SCP-3836 have resulted in failure. + Show Test Log - Hide Log Test SCP-3836-05 Vehicle Base: Yamaha Drive G29 Golf Cart Modifications: Exhaust pipe connected directly to fuel tank, fuel replaced with a mixture of diesel and nitrous oxide, lit match affixed to end of exhaust pipe, chicken-wire windshield added, "FAST" written across hood in red paint. Results: Upon ignition, a rapid series of explosions emerge from the exhaust pipe, launching the vehicle and SCP-3836 forwards at 227 kph for 26 seconds, after which the fuel runs out and the vehicle decelerates. The entire back half of the vehicle is heavily damaged, and all four tires have melted. SCP-3836 emerges from the driver's seat, laughing wildly. Notes: Due to the ██ injuries sustained, materials used in testing must be approved by project lead before being given to SCP-3836. Test SCP-3836-08 Vehicle Base: Vespa 946 Electric Scooter Modifications: Replacement of headlight with air intake routed to engine by plastic drinking straws, entire flare gun placed in gas tank, ejector seat installed, crude sheet-metal wings affixed to either side, large button labelled "FAST" installed between handlebars. Results: While button is unpressed, scooter functions as normal. Upon pressing the button, a previously undiscovered hatch opens up in the rear of the vehicle, revealing a large nozzle. Flames burst from the nozzle as the intake turbine begins spinning, and the vehicle accelerates to 241 kph before becoming airborne, eventually reaching speeds of 385 kph. SCP-3836 remains airborne for a minute and a half before the vehicle nosedives, prompting activation of the ejector seat. Ejector seat functions, and the rest of the vehicle crashes. Notes: To prevent unexpected modes of locomotion, SCP-3836 must be made to report the intended purpose of the vehicle before testing. Entirety of report consists of "Go fast" in all cases, instructions rescinded. Test SCP-3836-14 Vehicle Base: 2017 Toyota Prius c Modifications: 18 Tesla coils of various sizes installed randomly over surface of the vehicle, unidentified device vaguely resembling a toaster implanted in dashboard, portions of disassembled plasma lamp glued to windshield, trunk completely filled with AA batteries. Results: When moving at more than 74 kph, all tesla coils will activate and vehicle will entirely phase through all forms of matter aside from the surface being traveled upon. Phasing includes air in the atmosphere, resulting in zero air resistance. Vehicle is capable of reaching speeds upwards of 120 kph without additional effort while phasing, and has displayed a top speed of 233 kph. Notes: Vehicle kept for usage in field operations. Personnel are to be reminded that no interaction with atmosphere means respiration is impossible without supplementary equipment. Test SCP-3836-16 Vehicle Base: Cessna 172 Skyhawk Modifications: Tripled the amount of blades on the propeller, "FAST" written on each blade individually. Results: Vehicle displays a new top speed of 907 kph, almost exactly three times higher than previous max speed of 302 kph. Notes: Vehicle kept for usage in field operations. Test SCP-3836-23 Vehicle Base: Segway MiniPro With Handlebar Modifications: Replaced the 2-horsepower electric motor with a 506-horsepower diesel engine, heavy-duty offroad tires installed on both wheels, unidentified component resembling a throttle intake affixed to standing platform, license plate reading "FAST" added, stereo installed, seatbelt tied loosely to handlebars Results: Prior to testing, SCP-3836 insisted upon building a specified test area including several ramps and other obstacles. After mounting the vehicle, SCP-3836 wraps the seatbelt around its waist before beginning to accelerate forwards. The vehicle launches off of the first jump at 71 kph and performs two full backflips before landing, at which point the stereo activates and confetti begins to blow out of the rear of the vehicle. It is noted that no confetti was included in the building materials. SCP-3836 then proceeds to travel along a grind rail while balancing on one tire, the sparks igniting the confetti. At this time SCP-3836 is observed to increase the volume of the stereo to the point where it is audible over the engine, now revealed to be playing "Kickstart My Heart" by American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe. SCP-3836 continues to perform stunts at increasing speeds until both tires burst from friction, resulting in the destruction of the vehicle. Notes: SCP-3836 suffered severe injuries to both legs in the crash, but remained fully mobile and animate, showing no signs of discomfort or lapse in ability. It credited this to the seatbelt it installed. Requests from personnel to repeat the test and/or hold tests within a similar arena were denied. Test SCP-3836-28 Vehicle Base: Foundation Spacecraft Model G-3351 Modifications: Unidentified devices incorporating electromagnets and large amounts of electronics placed alongside interior of engines, turbines added inside fuel tanks, several additional layers added to heat shields, all life-support and computational systems replaced with additional engines, unidentified ring-shaped device added to exterior of vehicle, stick-shift with additional gear labelled "FAST" added to control panel. Results: See Addendum 1. Addendum 1: On 11/17/2017, Test SCP-3836-28 was carried out with special permission from Director ████████. A D-class using life-support gear was scheduled to operate the vehicle instead of SCP-3836, but SCP-3836 installed a secret hatch adjacent to the main thruster which it used to board and subsequently launch the vehicle when it was informed of this decision. SCP-3836 and the craft successfully exited earth's orbit, and disappeared from all Foundation radar 28 seconds after launch. To accomplish this feat would require speeds substantially greater than the speed of light. Before disappearing a single transmission was received from the spacecraft, presumably from SCP-3836: FAST ENOUGH. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3837 | euclid | PlaguePJP & Tstaffor: XIV Tstaffor and PlaguePJP You can check out more of each of our work here: Tstaffor's Isolated Containment Terminal Plague's Authorpage This is a rewrite of the previous SCP-3837 written by Baronjoe SCP-3837 — The Maize Knight PlaguePJP's Authorpage Tstaffor's Authorpage ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item#: 3837 Level2 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: {$disruption-class} Risk Class: {$risk-class} link to memo SCP-3837. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3837 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site-322. No food containing corn is to be brought within SCP-3837's view. All inquiries from SCP-3837 regarding whether one has consumed corn are to be either denied or ignored. SCP-3837's file is currently under the jurisdiction of Site-322's Integration Program. See addenda for details. Description: SCP-3837 is an ear of corn (Zea mays) partially covered with husk. It has thin makeshift arms and legs composed of 0.6 mm thick stalks, and it stands 0.2 m tall. Its arms terminate in four digits, one of which is an opposable thumb. It has a tuft of corn silk (Stigma maydis) coming from its top and covering the top left section of its front. SCP-3837 is sapient, sentient, and capable of sensory perception and vocalizations despite lacking the necessary organs to do so. SCP-3837 self-identifies as "Cornelius the Great, Slayer of Goats;" along with this, SCP-3837 incorporates a medieval and Shakespearian speaking pattern into its diction. Whether this is a conscious choice is unknown. SCP-3837 is incredibly hostile towards goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) and will become irate at any and all mentions of the animal. This attitude will deteriorate when SCP-3837 is presented with any materials depicting or resembling goats. When this occurs, SCP-3837 will instead display symptoms similar to those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, including panic attacks, anxiety, and emotional stress. SCP-3837 was discovered on May 12, 2020, at a farm in Danville, Kentucky lurking around the perimeter of a fence wielding a spoon. The owner of the property contacted authorities and MTF Iota-10 ("Damn Feds") was able to apprehend SCP-3837 with no incident. Standard Veil retention protocol was performed following the recovery. Addendum 3837.1: Intake Interview Log Date of Interview: 5/13/20 Interviewed: SCP-3837 Interviewer: Dr. Pattinson <Begin Log> Dr. Pattinson: Good evening, my name is Dr. Pattinson. You're currently in a secure facility for your safe— SCP-3837: Have you consumed my brethren? Dr. Pattinson: What, like other ears of corn? Do you mean others like you or just corn in general? SCP-3837: That was not a no! [SCP-3837 proceeds to hop off its chair and run to Dr. Pattinson’s leg. SCP-3837 then begins to pound Dr. Pattinson’s foot. Dr. Pattinson was unharmed.] Dr. Pattinson: Alright, alright, calm down. I don't eat corn. SCP-3837: You're a man of honor and reverence. [SCP-3837 kneels, then stands and returns to its seat.] You may call me Cornelius, how may I serve you? Dr. Pattinson: Well then Cornelius, during a search of the farm we found you at, we found several scrolls detailing attack plans on a group known as "Those that don't deserve name." Is this another cornfield on a different farm, or something else? SCP-3837: Goats… My mortal enemies. What loathsome creatures they are. Such demons; they impart on your land, pillaging and destroying as they see fit. I hate them. Dr. Pattinson: Hate is a strong word. I've tried getting it out of my vocabulary. SCP-3837: I do hate them! My community… my family was ravaged by them. From kernel to ear, we were utterly devastated. It was a sneak attack. Father Elliot was dealing with those brutes for years, at that point. They would come into his land with their many teeth and devour the grass and my ancestors. [SCP-3837 pauses.] SCP-3837: There were too many of them that night. Father couldn't scare them off and even I — The Great Cornelius! —was no use. It was an ambush. There were thousands of them, chomping and chewing with their cold yellow eyes. In the end, I was the only survivor. Dr. Pattinson: Ah, now that makes sense. I'm sorry you had to go through that. SCP-3837: I do not need your pity, the only creatures I will be sorry for, are the beasts that face my wrath. I took a pledge to destroy every goat I come in contact with from that day forward. My wrath will be unchallenged — my power, more powerful than any power ever seen before! [SCP-3837 starts to scream as the kernels on its top start to pop and replenish almost instantaneously causing popcorn to fly from SCP-3837 covering the interrogation room.] Dr. Pattinson: I think that’s a good place to stop for today. <End Log> Following the interview, an investigation of the area near the farm SCP-3837 was recovered from led to the identification of PoI-7383 (Elliot Pines) who was then brought in for questioning1. Addendum 3837.2: Test Log The following was conducted to observe SCP-3837’s reaction to a goat. While there was worry among site staff that SCP-3837 would harm the goat, Dr. Pattinson's experience with SCP-3837 determined that it was virtually harmless. Date of Experiment: 12/10/20 <Begin Log> Prebriefing Dr. Pattinson: We're going to give you access to a goat. It will be controlled in case anything goes wrong. Does that sound alright? SCP-3837: Your worry should not be with me, but with the beast you allow me to unleash my vengeance upon. It will be slaughtered like my family was slaughtered. It will be butchered like my family was butchered. It will be flayed— Dr. Pattinson: Okay, there are a few hundred other synonyms, I get the point. SCP-3837: Your honor and reverence is unmatched. No other man has allowed me this opportunity. I do this in your name, Son of Pattin. Testing SCP-3837: Where are you hiding? Come out here and face the wrath of I, the great Cornelius! [A goat fitted with a muzzle is released into SCP-3837’s chamber.] SCP-3837: Oh, great lord. [SCP-3837 begins slowly backing away from the goat. The goat sniffs the concrete floor.] Goat: Maaah. SCP-3837: It's calling for its brethren! Save me! I've been clearly outmatched. [SCP-3837 backs itself into a corner and attempts to climb up the testing chamber walls.] Goat: Baaaa. SCP-3837: Get out of my head! [Dr. Pattinson retrieves the goat. Test terminated.] Debriefing Dr. Pattinson: What happened out there? SCP-3837: I will consider that battle a draw, for this time and this time only. I did not expect the creature to use its magic to invoke fright in me. It shan't happen again. <End Log> Following the experiment, SCP-3837 was seen sulking in its chamber. This behavior continued for approximately seven days. Addendum 3837-3: Integration Program Directive CASE FILE: SCP-3837 Under the directive of the Integration Program, work with SCP-3837 will be pursued in an attempt to remedy its PTSD2 from it and its species' experience with livestock, specifically goats. Since SCP-3837 has already been exposed to a goat, there may be complications. That being said, Site staff are hopeful that this will achieve its goal. The time table will be as follows: Exposure Item Date Photograph of a Goat 20/10/20 Goat Fur 20/11/20 Goat Animatronic 20/12/20 Live Goat 20/01/21 TEST: Photograph of a Goat On the first day of exposure, SCP-3837 immediately recoiled from the photograph and refused to look at it. SCP-3837 claimed it had shut its eyes, despite lacking the features. Over the course of the next month, SCP-3837 was able to look at the photograph for extended periods of time, describe it, and eventually allowed it to remain in its containment chamber. Excerpt(s) SCP-3837: I shall keep this at my side, as a reminder of the beasts I will destroy. TEST: Goat Fur Researchers noted an immediate change in behavior from the last test. As mentioned, SCP-3837 refused to look at the picture. In this case, it was curious about the item and only showed mild discomfort when handling it. At the end of the tests, SCP-3837 commented on the fur's texture, finding it comfortable. Excerpt(s) SCP-3837: It seems that the creatures' malice does not seep into its fur. A pure diversion! TEST: Goat Animatronic A mild change in behavior occurred on the first day of testing. SCP-3837 was initially frightened by the animatronic, a miniature robot replica of an adult goat. It immediately upon sight of the robot, ran to the corner of its chamber. It remained there for the entirety of the first day, resulting in no substantial advancement. At the end of the testing cycle, SCP-3837 became somewhat accustomed to the animatronic's presence, attempting to pet the robot multiple times per day and sleeping with the animatronic in its chamber. Excerpt(s) SCP-3837: Proper training for my second battle! I am thankful for this oppurtinity. While the excerpts displayed here do not show the improvement described, it is known that SCP-3837's warrior facade is artificial. These tests show a remarkable change in behavior. The final test will take place on the allotted date. Addendum 3837.4 PoI-7383: Interview Log When nearing the end of the goat animatronic testing period, PoI-7383 was brought in and questioned in order to learn how best to go about live goat exposure testing. Date of Interview: 18/01/21 Interviewed: PoI-7383 Interviewer: Dr. Pattinson <Begin Log> Dr. Pattinson: Hi, Mr. Pines, my name is Dr. Pattinson. Thanks for joining us. PoI-7383: It’s not like I had a choice in the matter, heh. You can call me Elliot by the way. Dr. Pattinson: Well then, Elliot, I have a few questions surrounding the corn grown on your farm. PoI-7383: You're gonna ask why they were alive and roaming — been there and done that, my friend. Used to get hundreds of questions about it. Never got tired of answering it, though. [PoI-7383 chuckles] PoI-7383: I miss 'em a bit. It was good to have someone to talk to when you're out pulling weeds or shucking corn. My wife was never into the whole farm life thing — stuck to teaching. Dr. Pattinson: Are all the ears gone — the living ones, that is? PoI-7383: Yeah, three or four of my goats got loose and managed to eat the bunch. It was a real fox-in-a-hen-house deal. They meant no harm, but I do feel bad about it. Weighs heavy on my conscience. Dr. Pattinson: How did they animate? Did you have a hand in that? PoI-7383: Nope. Couldn't really help you there, I'm afraid. I liked to tell people I wished upon a star like the Pinocchio movie. It was really that I just woke up one day, saw 'em — it scared the absolute soul out of me — and eventually, they grew on me. Dr. Pattinson: I actually might have some good news. We're in possession of one of your ears. Does 'The Great Cornelius' ring any bells? PoI-7383 Wait really! That’s so good to hear! But I didn't have any cobs by that name. [PoI-7383 pauses] PoI-7383: You know, that must be Little Tom, he always quite exaggerative. I'm sure with a whole new group to impress he told a few tall tales to ya! Dr. Pattinson: That definitely sounds like our SCP-3837! It's recently sworn total vengeance on all goats over the incident. PoI-7383: It's all my fault. I really, really should have kept a better eye on those goats. My lord, he's better than that. I made him this way. He's no killer… that's not who he is in his heart. Dr. Pattinson: To be fair, he definitely isn't a killer. We've shown him a goat and he was terrified. That being said, he's shown great development in our program. PoI-7383: That's even worse… he's always loved animals. The cows especially, something about their size in comparison really wowed him. He used to ride them around sometimes. Dr. Pattinson: Like I said, we're working on helping him, and he's doing really well — right now we're trying out this robot our Cybernetics Department developed. [Pause] Now that I mention it, you still have those goats, right? PoI-7383: Yep! One of 'em, Baaaathany, gave birth two days ago. Dr. Pattinson: Even better. <End Log> Addendum 3837.5: Final Exposure Test PoI-7383 was brought into SCP-3837’s chamber along with the aforementioned baby goat. Date of Experiment: 13/11/20 <Begin Log> Dr. Pattinson: Good evening, *Tom.* SCP-3837: Hark! You dare call me by that name. If you were not a man of great wisdom and pride I'd cut you in twain. Only one man knows me by that name, my father. Dr. Pattinson: Funny you should mention, because… [PoI-7383 then enters the room] PoI-7383: Hi, Tom. SCP-3837: Father! I thought I'd never see you again! PoI-7383: What was with that accent earlier? What are you, Shakespeare? SCP-3837: It's for a bit of flair, you know. PoI-7383: No… no, I don't know. I've heard of your "quest" and your hatred of goats. Did I ever teach violence? SCP-3837: …No. This was an extenuating circumstance. PoI-7383: Well, I also heard you're working through it. You know that hate is a strong word, right? SCP-3837: Yes… he's told me enough times. Dr. Pattinson: It was once — also you said you respected me. SCP-3837: I do, you're just a bit pushy is all. PoI-7383: Can I say how proud I am of your progress. Mr. Pattinson— [Dr. Pattinson pulls PoI-7383 aside to the other side of the containment chamber.] Dr. Pattinson: It's not a big deal but I've actually got a doctorate. PoI-7383: Ok? Dr. Pattinson: Just earlier you said Mr. Pattinson, but I've got a doctorate in agriculture so it's doctor, not mister. PoI-7383: Well… ok, sorry. [Dr. Pattinson and PoI-7383 return to SCP-3837.] PoI-7383: Doctor Pattinson showed me the reports here, and it's amazing how fast you're improving. SCP-3837: My so-called "hatred" has turned into only a minor disliking of goats. PoI-7383: Well, I guess that's an improvement. I hope my friend could be of help too. I'm going to step out and we'll send her in. SCP-3837: Alright. I hope I can see you again. PoI-7383: I hope so too. [The kid is released into the testing chamber. SCP-3837 does not move.] SCP-3837: H— hello, creature. [The goat bites at the peeling paint of the containment chamber's wall.] SCP-3837: Oooooh there's teeth — the robot didn't have teeth. [The goat makes its way over to SCP-3837's bed. It lies down and shuts its eyes.] SCP-3837: What? Is this a trap? Dr. Pattinson: (Over the intercom) I believe it's sleeping, Tom. SCP-3837: It doesn't want to eat me? Dr. Pattinson: Nope, I think it trusts you. It fell asleep right next to you. [SCP-3837 approaches the sleeping kid. It hovers its "hand" above it.] SCP-3837: Hm. Warm. [SCP-3837 begins to slowly and shakily pet the baby goat.] SCP-3837: Ah, that's not so bad. [The goat snorts. SCP-3837 continued to caress and inspect the sleeping animal for approximately seven minutes.] SCP-3837: Maybe you're not all bad. <End Log> Following the test, weekly visits between SCP-3837, PoI-73833 and the goat, now designated GoI-38374 have been scheduled. As part of this procedure, GoI-3837 is to be kept well fed and supervised during all interactions with SCP-3837. Footnotes 1. See Addendum 3837-4. 2. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. 3.

SCP-3838 | euclid | However, these tribes possess an ability to travel through time, and thus each SCP-3838 instance occupies the land at a different point in history. close Info X SCP-3838: Nomads of the 4th-Dimensional Steppe Author: Tufto. More of their work can be found here. Image: Can be found here, and is in the public domain. Two members of SCP-3838-3, posing in front of a rug which they had woven, 1908. Item #: SCP-3838 Special Containment Procedures: A perimeter is to be established 1km away from SCP-3838's area of operation. A single entrance is located on the eastern edge to allow entrance and egress to and from the area of operation and the research base. To prevent incursions by SCP-3838-4, the perimeter is heavily armed against both internal and external threats. SCP-3838-4's activities are currently limited to occasional raids on the other SCP-3838 instances, but conversations with members of the other SCP-3838 instances indicate that SCP-3838-4's occupation is currently due to begin in 2054, with a strong likelihood of this occurring at an early date due to SCP-3838-4's military strength and aggressive behaviour. Efforts to engage SCP-3838-4 diplomatically are underway, but this should not be done at the expense of the Foundation's relationship with SCP-3838-3. Internal disputes or conflicts between SCP-3838 instances are not to be interfered with. There are, however, two exception to this rule: 1) if said conflicts may cause a containment breach, or 2) if any conflict occurs between SCP-3838-4 and either SCP-3838-2 or SCP-3838-3, as per our agreement with these groups. Any members of SCP-3838-8 are to be detained and interrogated upon sight. No such members have been encountered thus far. Description: SCP-3838 refers to a series of 8 nomadic Turkmen tribes. These tribes all occupy a space of 10km2 at a site in western Turkmenistan, near the Caspian Sea. However, these tribes possess an ability to travel through time, and thus each SCP-3838 instance occupies the land at a different point in history. SCP-3838 instances treat different periods of time as if they are different areas of territorial pastureland owned by one tribe or another. Agreements and conflicts over the periods owned by each tribe are common, with sudden raids into a particular time period common. Two time periods have been set aside for particular common purpose, under which there is an agreed-upon parley between the tribes: an unspecified period in the early 15th century BCE, and the period from 1800-1858, used as a marketplace and as a place for inter-tribal councils and gatherings. SCP-3838 instances travel through time through an unknown ritual, which is not shared with outsiders. It is known that this involves the travellers entering a ger1, with two flames flanking the entrance, but nothing else about the process has been conclusively determined. SCP-3838 instances do not occupy their time period contiguously, but ordinarily move to a different time within their period, forwards or backwards, every six months. The continual raiding, conflict and re-use of already used years has resulted in a number of temporal paradoxes occuring; these have not, however, caused any significant temporal destabilities, due to an unknown method of temporal preservation. The culture of SCP-3838 is typical of nomadic tribes of the region. They primarily live in gers, and each tribe is ruled by a khan, despite the small sizes of each group. They all speak the same antiquated dialect of Turkmen, believed to have been common in the region during the 15th century; some also speak Persian and Chagatai, with a small number possessing knowledge of classical Arabic. SCP-3838 instances often practice a fusion of traditional and Islamic beliefs, with some exceptions (detailed below). Economically, SCP-3838 instances primarily live off the milk and meat of goats and sheep, with a natural spring located within the bounds of their physical territory providing water. A large number of handicrafts are created by the SCP-3838 instances; this is often the role of the women, although the traditionally egalitarian nature of nomadic societies also affords them a limited role in herding, rearing, combat and sometimes tribal leadership. The exception to this is SCP-3838-2, which is a solely matriarchal tribe. Of note is the possession of large quantities of advanced technology and weaponry possessed by all of the SCP-3838 instances. These have reportedly been raided or traded from tribes whose "territory" is in the future. SCP-3838-3 is the current SCP-3838 instance occupying the pastureland. The Foundation has promised protection for SCP-3838-3 against SCP-3838-4, a hostile tribe seeking to aggressively expand its "territory" into the 21st century. In exchange, SCP-3838-3 voluntarily offers the Foundation advanced technology which the Foundation believes may be useful. The Foundation has a similar arrangement with SCP-3838-2, although as their "territory" is now in the past, this agreement is rarely activated in modern times. Communication with the tribes is difficult, as the Foundation encounters them at wildly different points in their personal timelines and often receive contradictory information as a result, a problem exacerbated by the continuous rewriting of the timeline. SCP-3838 was first discovered in 1696, when the Foundation predecessor organisation Devan-e Jaaduyih (Office of Magic), a part of the Safavid governmental apparatus which would later become an independent organisation, responded to reports of "disappearing and reappearing tents" by relocated Kurdish tribesmen in the area. The Devan-e Jaaduyih continued to contain the tribes until its absorption into the Foundation in 1834. The anomaly itself is believed to have started in the 15th century BCE, following a "vast battle"; they have, however, been heavily influenced by later Turkic and Islamic nomads, and their oral history contains few reliable elements from before the 1st century CE. Below are details of all of the SCP-3838 tribes, their zones of control, and the nature of the two parley zones. Note that some of this information was recorded during earlier periods of the Foundation's history, and that of their predecessors, when social attitudes and data gathering were performed under markedly different standards. Tribe/Zone Period Details The "Holy Years" c. 15th century BCE Within the variant of Tengri beliefs practised (often syncretically with Islam) by SCP-3838, these years are considered to be a particularly holy site, where a great conglomeration of spirits gather. It is believed that a great battle occured shortly before the beginning of these years, but there is uncertainty as to its nature. SCP-3838-1 c. 110 CE to c. 290 CE Little is known about this tribe; they were only observed in the "Marketplace" years. They are rumoured to produce particularly fine earthenware pots, and these were often seen in the marketplace. Unusually, they appear to follow strong Manichean beliefs, but associated "darkness" in Manichean dualism with the colour red. SCP-3838-2 c. 1130 CE to 1799 CE A matriarchal tribe; combat, herding and tribal leadership are solely the preserve of women. This unusual arrangement is credited to a "hero" during the ancient battle mentioned earlier. Their unusually large territory is a mark of their particular success as a tribe. Information on this tribe is scant, and filled with exaggeration and myth by earlier writers; it is known, however, that they were skilled hunters who often ranged further afield than the other tribes, engaging in the Mongol tradition of the nerge2. They practice a mixture of shamanism and Islam. The "Marketplace" 1800 CE to 1858 CE A place of pre-agreed upon gatherings. Tribes often arrive here to trade technology and talismans, as well as to arbitrate disputes. SCP-3838-4's hostility has resulted in their exclusion from this period; SCP-3838-8 instances are never seen. A description by Foundation operative Ali Quli Beg describes the ware on offer as "strange and terrible things; muskets and rifles altered to emit bolts of light, pagan talismans which glow with strange fire, an antique funeral urn with shifting markings, and arrows which followed their targets like hounds." SCP-3838-3 1870 CE to 2054 CE The current tribe. SCP-3838-3 is ruled by a khan in consultation with several begs, perhaps mirroring the traditional position in the region of a khan being a senior governor and a beg being a lesser governor. Members of SCP-3838-3 are known for the particular quality of their carpet-weaving, which they often use as objects of bartering. They formerly held many more years, but have been pushed back by SCP-3838-4. SCP-3838-4 2054 CE to c. 3000 CE The largest known tribe in terms of time occupied, SCP-3838-4 is shunned by and hostile to other tribes and to the Foundation. They are often dressed in human skins, although captured members claim that these are only the skins of SCP-3838-8 members. Nevertheless, this practice has led them to be abhorred by the other tribes; the only exceptions are the SCP-3838-7 survivors, who have a good relationship with SCP-3838-4. They are reportedly obsessed with SCP-3838-8 and are attempting to create an "empire of time" to stand against them. They often enslave or incorporate other tribes into their own. They are known for their protection of a particular funeral urn, which houses the body of a "fallen foe". Interestingly, oral tradition among SCP-3838-2 includes a reference to an "ancient urn", and older survivors of SCP-3838-7 have talked of "losing their urn". SCP-3838-5 c. 3000 CE to c. 3020 CE A small tribe, SCP-3838-5 has been almost wiped out. Its members are renowned for their skill at cooking, and could be found in large numbers at the marketplace and sometimes within other tribes. Reportedly, they are running low on good pastureland, and "constantly meet themselves" within the tiny size of their remaining territory. SCP-3838-6 c. 3020 CE to c. 3450 CE Traditional allies of SCP-3838-5, SCP-3838-6 possess particularly advanced technology often found at the Marketplace. SCP-3838-6 are known for their lack of syncretism, practising a relatively pure form of Shi'ite Islam. They are known to have dealings with a group calling themselves the "Empire for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts", believed to be a future variant of the ORIA; they are, however, extremely friendly and co-operative with the Foundation despite this. SCP-3838-7 None; formerly c. 3500 CE to c. 4100 CE This tribe was destroyed; surviving members and their descendants can occasionally be found in other tribes and at the marketplace, although most were incorporated into SCP-3838-5. Although the other SCP-3838 instances ascribe this destruction to SCP-3838-4, surviving SCP-3838-7 members claim it was done by SCP-3838-8. SCP-3838-8 Unknown; in the far future. Very little is known of this tribe; no members have ever been encountered, and the other SCP-3838 instances ordinarily refuse to speak of them outside of their oral tradition, which states that they were the tribe fought against at the "great battle" (although other sources state that it was a single powerful figure who was fought against; both traditions are believed to have been created well after the event). The only exception is SCP-3838-4, who refers to them as the "enemy above all enemies" and the "rejectors"; limited contact with SCP-3838-4 has prevented the Foundation from learning more, however. Addendum 1: On 02/01/2011, a member of SCP-3838-4 approached the research base attached to the perimeter defences. Claiming to be an envoy, the figure asked for an interview with the site director, which was granted; a transcript can be found below. Interview 3838-1 Close Log Interviewer: Dr. Sayyeda Aisha Rizvi, Site Director. Interviewee: An envoy from SCP-3838-4. Date: 02/11/2011 <Begin Log> Dr. Rizvi: Hello there. The envoy is silent. Dr. Rizvi: Look, tell me what you want. You're lucky we're even granting you this interview. Envoy: We have met your kind before. You'll understand my… hesitancy in trusting you, khanum. You capture our people, kill our soldiers. We do not easily forget. Dr. Rizvi: You kill ours. You kill our friends among the tribes. Envoy: Oh, what is the point of this? I could tell you we have a purpose, I could tell you we have a purpose behind our raids, that I take no joy in the killing of our brothers, but to what end? It would convince you of nothing. Let us stick to the matter at hand. Dr. Rizvi: Go on, then. What was it you wanted to dicuss? Envoy: What do you know of the battle? The great battle that defined our world? Dr. Rizvi: Little. The envoy sighs heavily Envoy: It matters little. Let me find another way to put it… imagine we made a prison. Dr. Rizvi: I didn't think you went into that kind of thing. Envoy: A prison, but one of many aspects. If you want to truly lock something away, you make its substance uncertain. You trap part of it in another reality, another in a different concept of existence- and another in a pocket of time. Dr. Rizvi: …Something is being imprisoned by you? Envoy: Yes. Dr. Rizvi: I'll need more than that. Envoy: And I cannot give it to you, Khanum. We have nine centuries of time to look after, pastures and children and womenfolk. Our years are good, and vast, and we protect our own. Nobody else remembers. They all forget. They see us only as bloodthirsty tyrants. They all forgot! And now we stand alone. The seventh tribe were the only others, and they died. We need help. You contain things, yes? You keep them hidden? Dr. Rizvi: We do. But that's not how it works. We need to know what we're dealing with, what- Envoy: No. We cannot. I am sorry. Dr. Rizvi: Then we cannot make a deal. Envoy: Look, I- you can stand on your principles all you like, but this is happening, khanum. The Eternal Heaven has orchestrated this. If we told you, we would be breaking our promise. We made a pact. We will not bend. And if you do not, then it will be released. Dr. Rizvi: …What do you want from us, then? Envoy: To talk. To have you as an intermediary, for they will not trust us. We cannot unite the tribes, so we must join with them. Please, khanum. Please help us. The envoy is visibly shaking at this point. Dr. Rizvi: …How do I know that you won't- Envoy: You don't, khanum. But you are the Jailors. You are the ones who keep us safe. Everyone safe. From the dark behind the eyes. A pause for five seconds. Dr. Rizvi: Alright. Come with me. There are some people you should speak to. <End Log> Following this, SCP-3838-4 has agreed to stop its program of aggressive expansion against the other SCP-3838 instances. SCP-3838-4 has refused to elaborate further on the nature of SCP-3838-8, but the Foundation has agreed to support its efforts at political alliance and communication with the other SCP-3838 instances, as it is believed the nature of the threat described is serious enough to warrant precautions. RESTRICTED TO CLEARANCE LEVEL 5 ONLY Welcome, Overseer Addendum 2: On 20/09/2017, several documents in the personal collection of the 19th century Foundation operative and Orientalist John Callaghan were recovered by the Foundation. Among these was a translation into English of a song Callaghan heard during the "Marketplace" period, said to originate among SCP-3838-8. It reads as follows: They forget the hallowed words upon the death of time. May they share the fate of those who deny to me what's mine, They forget the howling chains that bind me safe away, One of many old chanyus3 forgotten in this way. They forget the steel swords they used to cast me down, They shall not forget again before my flaming crown. They forget the seven brides that wait for my return, Such loveliness is lost upon the children of the urns. They forget the seals that are used to keep me still, Only one remembers and is not bent to my will. Seven seals, seven tribes, six reclaimed, one shall be mine, And ere the end of all your days the Crimson Khan shall ride. Footnotes 1. Often called a yurt, a ger is a type of tent used by the nomadic peoples of Inner Asia. 2. A type of ceremonial hunt, wherein the hunters encircle an animal together before firing upon it. 3. A term used for the leader of a steppe tribe before khan. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3838" by Tufto, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3839 | euclid | Portion of brain removed from SCP-3839 Item #: SCP-3839 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3839 is to be contained in a large, reinforced, Heavy Bio-Containment Cell in the lower levels of Site-234, sealed according to BSL-4. SCP-3839 is to be fed 100 kg of lipids, preferably in the form of lard, once a week. All direct interaction with SCP-3839 and maintenance of its cell is to be done via robotic drone; no personnel are allowed inside the cell unless given direct permission by both the Project Head (currently Dr. Maravilla) and the Site Directors (currently Drs. Leep and Sherry Andrews). The ceiling of this room is to be equipped with sprinklers filled with 10M NaOH solution, to be used in the event of an imminent breach. Description: SCP-3839 is a large amorphous mass comprised mostly of undifferentiated fat cells, measuring approximately 2.5 m in radius and weighing approximately 60 metric tons. SCP-3839 constantly alters its shape and size and moves using a method similar to amoeboid movement. SCP-3839 gains control over lipids not part of itself within an approximate radius of 3 m; at greater distances, SCP-3839 can only exert a weak attractive force whose strength exponentially decreases with distance. SCP-3839 is capable of restructuring lipids into various shapes and structures, usually in the shape of crude hands, arms, or mouths. When not moving, SCP-3839 emits a yellow cloud composed of aerosolized lipids and proteins, most of which are unseen in ordinary organisms. Inhalation or skin absorption of these products causes an anomalous effect on humans in its vicinity; nearly all humans begin to lose their self-preservation instinct within 1 minute of exposure, and all fear response pathways completely shut down within 8 minutes. Autopsies of recovered subjects has revealed the formation of small growths of sphingomyelin1 in the amygdala2, encasing and absorbing neurons and glial cells. SCP-3839 will then attempt to catch affected humans with its limbs. Once SCP-3839 has gripped a human with its appendage, SCP-3839 will extend a smaller, tube-like appendage and expel a thick slurry from it until it hits the targeted human. When this slurry comes in contact with human tissue, it reverts human osteocytes, chondrocytes, myocytes, and adipocytes3 into mesenchymal stem cells, with complete conversion normally occuring within four minutes4. These stem cells will differentiate into a new form of adipocyte, which coagulate into a homogenous mass and absorb the remaining neurons. SCP-3839 will then proceed to move itself towards the remains and absorb the new adipocyte mass into itself, leaving the remainder behind. Biopsy of the outer mass of SCP-3839 has shown that it possesses genetic material from 36 humans, 9 of which match to former Prometheus Labs personnel, most notably Dr. ███, Dr. ████, and Dr. Javier Pineda. CT scanning of SCP-3839 revealed a large mass in its center; this mass appears to be composed of a dense network of neurons arranged in 37 discrete clusters. 35 of these directly link to a larger cluster in the center of the mass, with smaller links between each other. The 37th is isolated from all other clusters and encased in a crystalline shell. This shell is composed mainly of crystalline fat and appears to be in a constant state of equilibrium, being dissolved from without and reconstituted from within. All clusters have exhibited significant neural activity, with the central cluster and cluster 37 the most active. Tests using isotopic labeling have shown that upon conversion and ingestion of a human subject, a new cluster will form from the subject's neurons. Brain biopsies have determined that SCP-3839's clusters are composed of a new form of brain matter, with specialized adipocytes replacing ordinary glial cells. SCP-3839 will occasionally enter an Eglah state, growing a single large appendage and occasionally manifesting crystalline spikes or various liquids from the end. SCP-3839 will then attack itself with this appendage. SCP-3839 sustains no lasting damage during these states; any damage is quickly repaired by SCP-3839 rearranging its mass to fill the wounds. Notably, SCP-3839 will usually form a thickened mass of compacted fat to protect its clusters. This state ends when the appendage either retracts or is severed. The time interval between Eglah events has steadily increased over time; rising from an average of 2 days upon initial containment in 2000, to 3 weeks. However, the duration has increased from 10 minutes to over an hour as of the most recent event. Eglah events have become increasingly destructive during SCP-3839's time in containment. Recently, SCP-3839 has begun to show signs of increasing intelligence. Addendum 3839-A: Notable Eglah Events For the sake of clarity, the hostile appendage will be designated SCP-3839-ALPHA. Event Number Duration Notes 12 13 minutes First recorded instance of 3839-ALPHA attempting to play dead to launch a second attack. 3839-ALPHA was torn from 3839's mass, ceased motion completely, and was reabsorbed after 2 minutes. 122 15 minutes 3839-ALPHA attached itself to the ceiling using an adhesive substance exuded from its end. It then lifted 3839 off of the containment cell floor and attempted to repeatedly slam it against the floor and walls of the cell. 3839 suffered severe blunt force trauma after 7 hits, at which point 3839-ALPHA experienced structural failure and separated from 3839. 3839-ALPHA was removed from the ceiling and reabsorbed by 3839. A sample of the adhesive was successfully taken for study. 237 22 minutes First recorded instance of 3839 growing human-like hands on the ends of its appendages. 289 27 minutes First recorded instance of 3839-ALPHA using chemical attacks, specifically, an organic chemical agent intended to induce apoptosis in fat cells. 355 34 minutes First recorded instance of 3839 emulating human vocalizations. 3839 vocalized in a distorted female voice, causing 3839-ALPHA to cease its attack. 3839-ALPHA remained motionless until it was reabsorbed. 381 38 minutes 3839 extended an appendage and breached the NaOH sprinklers directly above 3839-ALPHA, destroying it. First recorded instance of 3839 using its cell to its advantage. Containment layout has been updated. 509 72 minutes First recorded instance of 3839 attempting to address personnel during an Eglah event. 3839 spoke in a deeper, distorted voice and was recorded as saying "He was a fool." 602 88 minutes Final Eglah event. 3839-ALPHA formed a roughly humanoid shape and attacked 3839 repeatedly, ignoring all damage inflicted to itself by 3839's counterattacks. Just before reaching the center cluster of 3839, 3839-ALPHA was forcibly torn from 3839's main body, and repeatedly slammed into the ground and walls until finally being ripped apart by 3839 and absorbed. Upon absorption, 3839 moved jerkily and erratically for 9 minutes before collapsing into a near-liquid state. 3839 regained its previous form after 2 days. Update ██/██/14: Eglah events have ceased completely, and SCP-3839 has become more docile in temperament. SCP-3839 has begun to occasionally split a portion of its mass off and attempt to shape it. These constructs have been designated SCP-3839-BETA. SCP-3839-BETA instances usually have a crude humanoid shape but tend to rapidly collapse into a pile of fat. Instances that do not collapse are eventually reabsorbed by SCP-3839. SCP-3839-BETA instances have gradually become more refined over time, and last longer before collapse and reabsorption. Update ██/██/18: All new instances of SCP-3839-BETA vaguely resemble the late Dr. Pineda, and are fully mobile. These SCP-3839-BETA instances are capable of locomotion and distorted vocalization, and generally attempt to move towards the cell's camera or observation ports. Collected Recordings of SCP-3839-BETA Access Granted. SCP-3839-BETA: Are you there? SCP-3839-BETA: Hello? SCP-3839-BETA: Is anyone out there? SCP-3839-BETA: How did I get here? SCP-3839-BETA: Let me out! SCP-3839-BETA: My name is Dr. Javier Ignacio Pineda. My name is Dr. Javier Ignacio Pineda. Oh god… SCP-3839-BETA: I hear you out there. Please help me. SCP-3839-BETA: Please. I can't hold it forever. SCP-3839-BETA: Help me kill it. SCP-3839-BETA: Who's there? I feel someone else. [Note: Dr. Velasquez had been reassigned to SCP-3839 after Incident SCP-3233-N█.] SCP-3839-BETA: You feel familiar. Do I remember you? SCP-3839-BETA: Memories. I'm still here. Slugs. SCP-3839-BETA: Monique? Is that you? Please tell me you're safe. SCP-3839-BETA: I never wanted any of this. SCP-3839-BETA: At least I get to see you one more time. SCP-3839-BETA: Please. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3840 | keter | Item #: SCP-3840 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the size of the area SCP-3840 can manifest in, the entity cannot be physically contained. Containment will focus on disseminating fictional accounts of SCP-3840 sightings, intending to convince the general population that information pertaining to the anomaly is derived from an urban legend, along with explanations that attribute sightings to native fauna or hallucinations. Amnestics may be administered if witnesses attempt to heavily spread information on SCP-3840. As radio broadcasts from the object are interpreted as number station broadcasts and are only known to fringe groups, further containment on these is unnecessary. Revision: Attempting communication with SCP-3840 is forbidden. Description: SCP-3840 is an emaciated humanoid entity that manifests in the Boreal forest region of Canada. It appears to be covered in severe burn wounds and is estimated to be 2m in height. Manifestations involve SCP-3840 being ejected out of a section of the forest, reaching a height of 50m above the canopy, and descending to another forested section 20m away. This process will repeat for a variable length of time, normally around three minutes though reaching an hour on occasion, during which SCP-3840 moves toward the nearest population center until reaching a distance of 20km from the location. Demanifestation has not been directly observed. Of note is that, at all points during movement, SCP-3840 appears to be largely limp. Certain objects that enter an undetermined radius around SCP-3840 will be pushed by an unseen force into following the same "leaping" motions as the entity, invariably colliding with trees or the ground in the process. These objects will vanish when SCP-3840 demanifests, and do not appear in subsequent manifestations. The most frequently observed objects seen alongside the entity are deceased animals, damaged articles of clothing, and computers. Shortwave radio broadcasts at a frequency of 2156 kHz are released from SCP-3840 when manifested. These broadcasts consist entirely of a repeating monotone buzzing sound. A sample of this audio is below. WARNING: As this file may be loud, personnel are advised to lower the volume before listening. No variations have so far been observed. Sightings of entities similar to SCP-3840 have been reported. The most common describe a humanoid rapidly flying through a forested area, frequently colliding with trees while followed by indiscernible objects. An investigation is in progress. The area around the camp site, photographed by Agent Szmurlo. Addendum: On 21-August-2015, Foundation assets began detecting a stationary radio broadcast at 2156 kHz, originating from Spray Valley Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada. The signal consisted entirely of a female voice repeatedly saying "Hello?" in English and French. After twelve hours the broadcast ceased, and undercover Foundation operatives were dispatched to the location. Operatives discovered a camp site within a forested area. A heavily damaged camping van and the remains of a makeshift radio tower1 were present at the location, along with burnt articles of clothing. Cyrielle Mercier, a member of multiple online conspiracy theory forums, and a cell phone that belonged to an acquaintance were found inside the van. Relevant files are available below. ▷ Investigation 3840/10 Recovered Files ▽ Investigation 3840/10 Recovered Files The following are files recovered from the cell phone found with Mercier. A majority of data on the phone was corrupted. Designation: REC-3840/1 Document Type: Image Description: Four young individuals, including Mercier, stand next to each other in front of the camper van. All of them have their arms placed on each other's shoulders and are smiling. A male subject holds a white sign with "parawatch.███"2 written on it in black paint. A male individual (hereafter Subject 1) is drinking from a beer bottle, holding it in a comedically exaggerated manner. Several cell phones, ear buds, and portable chargers are suspended in the air above them. NOTE: Due to the reluctance of Mercier to provide information, the names of these individuals are not known. Designation: REC-3840/2 Document Type: Video <BEGIN LOG> [CORRUPTED DATA EXPUNGED] The camera rapidly moves up from a view of the ground and pans between various trees. An entity resembling SCP-3840 can be seen moving between branches, though the erratic movement of the camera and anomaly prevents a clear view of it. Mercier: (whispering) Holy fuck. SCP-3840 slows and goes limp on a tree branch. Subject 1, presumed to be filming, starts speaking. Subject 1: Quiet! [CORRUPTED DATA EXPUNGED] A small fire is present on the tree branch. SCP-3840 is missing. Mercier: I— Oh. (incoherent muttering) <END LOG> Designation: REC-3840/3 Document Type: Image Description: Mercier and one of the photographed individuals sit in fold-out lawn chairs, next to an unlit camp fire. Facial expressions suggest that they are uncomfortable. Mercier is looking over her shoulder at a collapsed and burnt tree, which is largely obscured by the chairs. The upper torso of a body under the tree is partially visible, surrounded by blood and possessing clothing matching that of the other photographed female individual (hereafter Subject 2). A helical antenna extends from behind Mercier's chair, suspected to be originating from the unseen head of Subject 2. Designation: REC-3840/4 Document Type: Video <BEGIN LOG> The interior of the van can be seen, with the camera apparently at the rear bunk bed. All side windows are covered with blinds, and the white "parawatch.███" sign is obscuring the windshield. The camera momentarily shakes, briefly showing the edges of a black metal object on the bed. Heavy breathing is audible. Loud scraping sounds are heard outside the van. The scraping stops after 30 seconds, and a heavy impact occurs on the left side of the van. There is a second impact from the opposite side, and over the next minute the impacts occur more frequently on all sides of the van. The windshields break and the sign falls over. Only darkness can be seen through the window. A hand grabs onto the black metal object. The impacts stop. Mercier can be heard from outside the van. Mercier: Really now? The van door opens and Subject 2 steps in, who turns to look at the subject holding the camera. She appears to be unharmed. Subject 2: Could you quiet down in here? You're going to get the ranger— The phone falls onto the bed, obscuring the camera. Three gunshots and a loud impact are heard. NOTE: Analysis has found that the timing of each collision corresponds to a Morse code message: SIGNAL RADIO SHUT Designation: REC-3840/5 Document Type: Video <BEGIN LOG> The camera moves erratically as the subject holding it runs. Light from a flashlight illuminates patches of grass, though few details can be discerned. There is a high-pitched electronic whine and the subject collapses, rolling over and scrambling back. The flashlights points at SCP-3840, which is a meter away and lying on the ground. Its head turns to face the camera and its mouth widens, exposing a megaphone that protrudes from it. Another electronic whine is released from a megaphone and a voice matching that of Peter Mansbridge3 is heard from it. SCP-3840: —as the nation makes preparations.

Subject 3: —been nice enough. Subject 3 is abruptly thrown to the side by an unseen force. Subject 1 does not appear to react, and continues walking to the radio tower until reaching it after a minute. The tower is shoddily built, with radio equipment on a metal platform that is welded to numerous support beams. A tangle of cables extends from the back of the equipment and connects to two portable electric generators, which can be heard running. Subject 1 grabs the phone and drops it onto the ground, with the camera facing upward. Severe burn wounds are seen on his right hand until he walks out of view. SCP-3840 is momentarily observed in the canopy, followed by a severed arm. Two minutes later the whirring stops and Subject 1 walks past the phone. There is a metal creaking sound and one of the generators is ejected through the tower, causing it to violently collapse. Metal debris lifts into the air and follow the path of the generator. A wet crunch is heard in the distance. <END LOG> Designation: REC-3840/8 Document Type: Video <BEGIN LOG> A person entirely encompassed in flames sits on the ground, holding a beer bottle.

Mercier raises an eyebrow. Villeneuve: When you were out camping, what did you see? Mercier: Uhh, we saw some nice mountains and forests. Mercier shrugs. She appears visibly confused. Villeneuve: Did anything eventful happen to you? Did you see anything out of the ordinary? Mercier: One of the mountain rangers came over on a noise complaint and confiscated some stuff, but other than that it was fine? I don't get what this is about. Villeneuve: Mercier, we have seen the videos and photos you and your friend took. Nothing about this was fine. Mercier: I—what are you on about? Is shutting up to not interfere so odd? Villeneuve: We found you unconscious in a burnt camper van. That's normal? Mercier: Yes, and? God, you actually locked me up to know this. Villeneuve: Do I need to remind you what was out there? I have the photos. Mercier: Jesus, just—look. If a ranger needs a rifle, would you give them a rifle? Villeneuve: If it is necessary for defense, yes. Mercier: Right. So if a ranger comes down and asks for your electronics and lives, would you give it to them? Villeneuve: I— wait, lives? Mercier: Would you give it? Villeneuve: No. I wouldn't. Mercier facepalms then hits her hand on the table. Mercier: Don't you get—(coughing)—Don't you— Mercier begins profusely coughing and gasping for air until a burnt phone battery is ejected from their mouth, which collides with the ceiling and lands on the table.

SCP-3841 | safe | Item #: SCP-3841 Special Containment Procedures: Cover stories attributing the debris ring around Luyten b to asteroid impacts and other non-anomalous stellar phenomena have been disseminated. Discovery of SCP-3841 by civilian astronomers is impossible, due to the planet's atmospheric haze. However, in the event this does occur, any resultant research will be discredited by Foundation-run academic journals, which will publish their own papers presenting different explanations for the discoveries. Amnesticization of involved persons may be performed if deemed necessary. Four monitoring satellites and surface observation probes have been deployed by Foundation extrasolar exploration vessels to monitor Luyten b for signs of further activity. Luyten b is classified as off-limits for potential human interstellar colonization in the near future. Description: SCP-3841 designates the remnants of a halted K-Class event (K-3841) that occurred on the exoplanet Luyten b1 at an unknown time in the recent past. The exact details of the event are unclear, though it is known to have resulted in the extinction of all life on Luyten b, including its native sapient civilization (hereafter "Luytenians"). The primary cause of K-3841 is presumed to have been SCP-3841-Ω, an organism whose skeletal remains span two continents on Luyten b. The cadaver is 3,300 km long and is hexapedal in nature, similar in structure to the bodies of Luytenians, with the frontmost two legs possessing feet that could act as graspers. When alive it likely had a skull with the same structure of Luytenian skulls, having two lower jaws and an upper jaw, but the entire head region has been destroyed. Fragments of it have been found in craters across the planet, in orbits around Luyten b, and in orbits around Luyten's Star at the escape velocity of Luyten b. Surrounding the lower portion of the skeleton is a crater with a 300 km radius, likely the site where SCP-3841-Ω began its formation. The hind legs and tail structure of the skeleton are incomplete, suggesting that the organism had not fully formed when it expired. What anomalous means the organism used to stay alive in spite of its size are unclear. What substance forms the skeleton is unknown. No tools, such as drills and laser carvers, have penetrated its surface, and no amount of applied heat or force have caused damage. Decaying organic matter is attached to the sides of the skeleton, holding some sections together, which progressively converts into a reddish-brown slurry of organic chemicals that falls from SCP-3841-Ω. This currently covers much of the region surrounding SCP-3841-Ω, filling former lakes and oceans. The last of the matter attached to the skeleton is expected to finish decaying in fifty years. Other structures of anomalous origin have been discovered in the vicinity of SCP-3841-Ω. Exploration teams investigating Luytenian cities found several structures of concentric circles formed from thousands of Luytenian cadavers, all of which had been attached by fusion of the limbs. Skyscrapers, primarily those ringing the crater, have calcified organic growths formed from fused Luytenian bodies that extend in directions away from the crater's epicenter. These reach lengths of up to 0.6 km and heights of up to 1km, many having collapsed in recent years. Symbols of potentially thaumic nature are also carved into mountain ranges, islands, and remaining skyscrapers. Luyten b is barren as a result of K-3841. No living fauna, flora, and microscopic life have been found, and all regions previously containing liquid water are entirely dry. CO2 and methane are the most abundant atmospheric gasses, forming a dense haze that encompasses the planet and blocks light from Luyten's star. Atmospheric conditions and radiation levels are consistent with those of global nuclear fallout.2 A gradually dissipating debris ring of rocky matter orbits Luyten b. Its origins are uncertain. Little knowledge exists on Luytenian civilization. Present observations indicate that they had reached the same level of technological advancement as modern humanity, though what culture they had has not been determined. Book-like objects and the remnants of computer systems have been uncovered but have all contained cognitohazardous depictions of SCP-3841-Ω that induce vegetative states in organisms that view them.3 All Luytenian cadavers discovered to date lack a brain-equivalent organ, despite the presence of empty spaces in their skulls where a brain could reside. Most cadavers were found with their heads pointing in the direction of SCP-3841-Ω's crater. While the exact events of K-3841 are not understood, hypotheses have been proposed to explain the death of SCP-3841-Ω. Initially it was believed that mass nuclear bombardment of the head caused its destruction, which, while potentially an explanation for the nuclear fallout, was ruled out after tests with nuclear equipment failed to damage recovered skeleton fragments. No other known weaponry possessed by the Luytenians could have caused the damage. The leading hypothesis is that, during the formation of SCP-3841-Ω, it gained such a mass that it generated a gravitational field sufficient enough to alter the orbit of a small moon of Luyten b. Continued alterations from the field and further size growth lead to the moon's orbit intersecting with SCP-3841-Ω, resulting in it directly impacting the head. The accidental death then halted K-3841. This is consistent with the existence of the debris field and the wide spread of skull fragments. Luyten b is not expected to be habitable for the next thousand years, if ever. Addendum.3841.1: SCP-3841-Ω Decay Slurry Alterations From 2030 to 2033, probes that had been continually analyzing the chemicals in the SCP-3841-Ω decayed matter slurry detected increasing quantities of chemicals similar in nature to amino acids. RNA and DNA equivalent structures emerged soon after. In 2034 the first single-celled organisms were observed, and as of 2035 colonies of multicellular organisms have formed in the slurry and the land bordering it. The colonies primarily convert CO2 to O2. Additional probes and monitoring devices are scheduled for deployment on Luyten b. Previously predicted time spans for habitability are under reconsideration. Footnotes 1. Orbiting in the habitable zone of red dwarf Luyten's Star, 12.20 light-years away, with a mass of 2.63 Earth masses. The planet is predicted to have been highly Earth-like prior to K-3841. 2. Supported by the presence of highly irradiated craters in cities and previously inhabited locales, mainly those near SCP-3841-Ω, undetonated dud nuclear weaponry, and emptied missile silos at discovered military sites. 3. The amount of cognitohazards present in information sources decreases the further away the source was from SCP-3841-Ω's crater. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3841" by NatVoltaic, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3842 | safe | Live feed of SCP-3842 Item #: SCP-3842 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3842 must be kept within a safe with a 10x10x10 centimeter interior, with a 2 centimeter thick rubber padding on all sides. A blast-resistant camera has been placed within the safe to monitor SCP-3842 at all times. Any time SCP-3842 is removed from the safe, it must be handled with insulated rubber gloves. Description: SCP-3842 is a standard 5 millimeter red LED that emits a variable voltage of static electricity from both its cathode and anode leg, even if it is not connected to anything else. The brightness of the LED directly correlates with the outputted voltage level. SCP-3842 can produce anywhere from 0 to 8192 volts. SCP-3842 was initially discovered following a house fire in a suburban neighborhood of ███████████, Ohio. SCP-3842 was determined to have been on a desk in the house's garage, and was likely the source of the fire. Reports from local authorities have shown that while the home had 4 residents, only 3 were found, one of which having been killed by the fire. Foundation assistance was requested after several searches conducted to locate this fourth civilian, a 38 year old male by the name of Robert ███████, were largely unsuccessful. Each resident has been designated PoI-3842-1 through 4, with PoI-3842-4 referring to Robert. Addendum 3842.1: Interview Log + Open File - Close File Interviewed: PoI-3842-2 Interviewer: Dr. ███ Foreword: PoI-3842-2 is the wife of PoI-3842-4, Susan ███████. This interview was conducted approximately one week after the incident. PoI-3842-2 was unaware of Dr. ███'s affiliation with the Foundation, instead believing him to be a local government official. <Begin Log> Dr. ███: Good afternoon, Mrs. ███████. I hope that all of this isn't too stressful for you; you've been through a lot recently. PoI-3842-2: Thanks, and you too… Have you found anything at all on Robert? I'm worried sick about him, I don't want to lose him too… Dr. ███: I'm afraid not, Mrs. ███████. The only evidence we could find was a small, electronic LED. Would you happen to know anything about something like that? PoI-3842-2: Well, Robert did get Jonathan1 an electronics kit for his birthday, which… would've been today… The last thing he said to me was that he was going to make Jonathan's present special for him. He really loved that boy, he wanted to show him as much of the world as he could… PoI-3842-2 looks towards the ground, with tears beginning to form in her eyes. Dr. ███: Take your time if you need to, I understand that this is quite upsetting for you. PoI-3842-2: It's… It's fine. I still have my baby girl Hope2 to keep me company, at least. Dr. ███: Okay. For the sake of record-keeping, would you mind telling what exactly happened when your house burned down? PoI-3842-2: Sure, um… I was just making dinner, I thought the smoke detector was just going off again because I'm terrible at it. Jonathan… he really was the investigative type, always looking too far into things… he didn't believe it was because of me. He went down to the garage and saw the flames, yelling for me to grab Hope and get out of there. He was determined to rescue his father… I never saw either of them again… Dr. ███: I'm sorry, Mrs. ███████. That seems to be all the time we have for today. We'll be sure to keep you informed if we do find anything. <End Log> Addendum 3842.2: Recovered Document The following was found on a folded sheet of paper in one of the pockets of PoI-3842-3. + Open File - Close File -.. --- - / -... --- -.-- / .- -. -.. / -.. .- ... .... / -- .- -. / -.- . . .--. .. -. --. / . ...- . .-. -.-- --- -. . / ... .- ..-. . / ..-. .-. --- -- / - .... . / . ...- .. .-.. / -.. .-. .-.-.- / . .-.. . -.-. - .-. --- -.3 Pictured below is a drawing in crayon of what appears to be PoI-3842-3 and PoI-3842-4 in costumes similar to that of stereotypical superhero characters.

SCP-3843 | keter | Item #: SCP-3843 Special Containment Procedures: Scherbius-Decker Learning Computer Psi-22 ("ASA") is to search gaming forums and websites for keywords1 indicating the presence of an SCP-3843-1 instance. Occurrences of these keywords are to be investigated by Foundation personnel. If an instance of SCP-3843-1 is confirmed at the reported location, it is to be delivered to Site-11 immediately and its owner administered a Class-A amnestic. Foundation elements placed within major game manufacturers are to search outgoing products for the presence of SCP-3843-created code. If the presence of this code is confirmed, the located instance of SCP-3843-1 is to be pulled immediately and replaced with an unaffected copy. All games that have come into contact with the instance of SCP-3843-1 are to be searched and dealt with similarly. All testing involving SCP-3843 must be approved by at least one member of Level 3 personnel. Testing is to be performed by a member of D-Class personnel in a sealed chamber featuring one television and chair. Research personnel are to observe via an adjoining chamber. No personnel other than this D-Class are to enter the sealed chamber during testing. In order to maintain the SCP-3843 currently in containment, it is to be allowed to periodically infect a new instance of SCP-3843-1. After this is done, the original instance of SCP-3843-1 is to be destroyed. Historical Record - Emergency Containment Procedures Close In 1983, due to mass numbers of SCP-3843-1 instances becoming exposed to the public, the Foundation began emergency containment by artificially inducing a crash of the video-game market through use of Foundation elements placed into major players in said market. This was accomplished through multiple means, including: The funding of competing home computer companies through several Foundation fronts. Artificial over-saturation of the video game market via Foundation-owned companies and undercover elements in several existing companies. Use of Foundation elements in existing game publishers to encourage poor business decisions and practices. Industrial sabotage of several upcoming projects. The crash brought about via these factors was sufficient to achieve majority containment of SCP-3843. Containment of remaining SCP-3843-1 instances is ongoing. However, due to the nature of SCP-3843, such an operation is considered to be indefinite in length. Description: SCP-3843 is a non-player character present in an as-of-yet unknown number of video games which is capable of physically and mentally altering players. A game inhabited by SCP-3843, hereafter referred to as SCP-3843-1, is capable of passing SCP-3843 onto other games in its physical vicinity2. Infection of an SCP-3843-1 instance by SCP-3843 does not appear to be permanent, as SCP-3843 has been observed to disappear from instances of SCP-3843-1 after a period of five to ten years. The range necessary for infection to occur is inconsistent, with some games becoming infected even while in neighboring buildings, while others require direct physical contact. SCP-3843 does not appear to be able to infect games that are solely multiplayer by means of an online connection. It will also not appear in an SCP-3843-1 instance with both multiplayer and single-player aspects if that instance is connected to the internet. SCP-3843 will appear in an SCP-3843-1 instance as a non-player character suited to the game's setting, almost always identified as 'Sam', 'Sammy', or some other variation of the name. While SCP-3843 will adapt its appearance and basic gameplay role to suit the game it is inhabiting, its dialogue (in the cases where it has any) is usually either unsuited to the game setting entirely or wholly incoherent. The primary anomalous effects of SCP-3843 become activated when either, in-game, the player character interacts with it or it interacts with the player character. At this point, the player will begin to undergo permanent alterations in order to reflect the character they are controlling. No alterations will occur if the player simply ignores SCP-3843. SCP-3843's mental alterations usually manifest as the player receiving skills and knowledge their player character would feasibly possess. Testing has shown examples of players, for example, receiving knowledge regarding the proper use of firearms while playing action games where they are prominent. Although physical alterations made to a player by SCP-3843 are usually relatively minor and not especially dangerous, this is not the case if the instance of SCP-3843-1 features a non-human player character. In that event, the alterations made to the player to cause them to resemble said character are physically traumatic and often result in death during or shortly after the process. SCP-3843 appears to have a significant effect on the perceptions of its victims while the instance of SCP-3843-1 is being played in that victims of SCP-3843 are unable to register the alterations they are going through until they stop playing the game. SCP-3843 is believed to be the creation of Indigo Games, a small anomalous games company which was active from the years 1980 to 1983. (See Interview 3843-1.) Addendum 3843-1 (Retrieved Instances Log): The following is a list and summary of SCP-3843 containment breaches which have occurred since its classification as an SCP on 10/04/1983. In all cases, Agents were dispatched, successfully retrieved the instance of SCP-3843-1 and administered amnestics to witnesses as appropriate. All possible infected games in the vicinity of the recovered instance were safely disposed of. Game: Super Mario Bros (1985), Nintendo Entertainment System Date: 12/21/1985 SCP-3843 Role:3 SCP-3843 appears as a 'koopa' enemy with a white shell in World 1-1. Alterations begin when the player kills this enemy. Incident Summary: Andrew Calhoun, 22, writes to tabloid Weekly World News, claiming that he had instantly grown a substantial mustache after playing the game Super Mario Bros. A reporter sent by the paper, while investigating the game, also instantly grows a mustache reminiscent of the game's titular character. Foundation elements within Weekly World News report anomalous activity at this point and a dispatched Agent retrieves the SCP-3843-1 instance. Both Calhoun and the reporter are thoroughly shaved and dosed with a Class-B amnestic. Game: Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1990), MSX2 Date: 12/20/1990 SCP-3843 Role: SCP-3843 appears as a boss character encountered halfway through the game, identified as 'Salty Sam', a pirate-themed former KGB agent who uses a water cutter as a weapon. Before fighting the player character, he engages in a lengthy monologue regarding 'Salt and Meats [sic]' and food shortages in the enemy base. Alterations begin when the boss fight is initiated. Dialogue Sample Close SCP-3843: So…you're the guy that's called Sold [sic] Snake by everyone, huh! Well that's just good for me because I'm looking out to try and find some salts and meats in this base of ours ZANZIBAR LAND. And well…I used to be inside the KGB Snake, until I got caught and betrayed by those KGB people. It really made me angry when that happened Solid Snake, and when later BIG BOSS invited me with salt and meats to his house in ZANZIBAR LAND that really got my stomach hungering…but all of the bullets you have shooting at us. Well, needless to say, there are not many salt and meats in ZANZIBAR LAND at this. Time. (Monologue continues for a further fifteen minutes of clicking through dialogue.) SCP-3843: Snake…I'm going to kill you and the KGB now and get all my salt and meats at ZANZIBAR LAND! Have at me! Incident Summary: Daryl McKenzie, 24, is shot and killed while attempting to break into a secure military installation near his hometown of ██████. Analysis of security footage from the incident shows Mr. McKenzie using both advanced stealth tactics and firearms in which he had never received any training. Subsequent search of his home by the UIU revealed the presence of the SCP-3843-1 instance, which was recovered during transit by Agent Cobb and brought into Foundation custody. Game: Pac-Man (1990), Game Boy Date: 04/11/1995 SCP-3843 Role: SCP-3843 appears as a fifth 'ghost' enemy, identified as 'Sammy', which chases the player character through the map. Alterations begin when either SCP-3843 kills the player character or the player character eats SCP-3843. Incident Summary: Alan Carver, 35, is arrested by police and taken to a local hospital after a passerby witnesses him eating a neighborhood cat in his backyard. Victim dies shortly before arriving at hospital. Later analysis of the body shows the cause of death to be apparent starvation. Victim had suffered significant yellowing of the skin and expansion of the skull, causing damage to their neck due to increased weight. Additionally, skin had grown over both ears, both nostrils and one eye. Agents dispatched to deal with the situation recover the SCP-3843-1 instance at the victims home. Game: Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee (2002), GameCube Date: 07/06/2003 SCP-3843 Role: SCP-3843 appears as a non-playable boss character identified as 'Samutenshi', a colossal white avian monster. Notably, the original Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee did not feature any non-playable boss characters. Alterations begin either when the player first attacks SCP-3843, or SCP-3843 first attacks the player. Incident Summary: Foundation Agents in the city of █████ are dispatched to the site of an apartment building which spontaneously collapsed with no apparent cause. Inspection of the debris reveals the corpse of Aarav Kapoor, 20, which had expanded to fill an entire floor of the apartment building and caused the collapse in the process. Notably, while Mr. Kapoor's skin and muscles expanded during alteration, his skeleton and other internal organs did not. All witnesses and survivors were dosed with Class-A amnestics and a cover story centered around sub-standard construction was produced to account for the building's collapse. The remains of the SCP-3843-1 instance were recovered on site and its nature as formerly containing SCP-3843 was confirmed through analysis of its reconstructed code. Game: Mass Effect 2 (2010), PlayStation 3 Date: 02/04/2010 SCP-3843 Role: SCP-3843 appears as a blind supply officer named Samuel Belkira aboard the player character's ship. When interacted with, SCP-3843 rants at length regarding food shortages above the ship, especially regarding 'salt and meats [sic]', before giving the player a quest to solve said food shortages4. Alterations begin upon initiation of dialogue. Dialogue Sample Close SCP-3843: Commander, I'm going to talk on you now. Okay. Commander Shepard5: I've always got time for the crew of the Normandy. What do you need? SCP-3843: Now listen at this. Okay. The ship Normandy's hasn't got enough salt and meats, Commander Shepard. If we don't get more, we're all going to starve to death out here in. (ten second pause) Deep space. Okay. I really need my salt and meats, Commander, and I've got a hankering for some of those things. My name's Samuel Belkira. I'm a supply officer just looking for some of you know what, just doing what comes natural. Haha. Also I'm blind. By the way, Commander, have you seen some salt and meats on the Normandy? Sometimes they climb up into the vents and that's just a big bag of worms. That's way too much for any one man to eat at one time, Commander, and I'm even blind. So it's something that we've got to deal with. Are you feeling okay? Commander Shepard: That does sound like a problem. But what can I do about it? SCP-3843: Salt and meats. Incident Summary: Foundation is alerted when the home of Catherine Herrera, 32, violently explodes in a flash of blue light. Agents investigating the debris recover both Ms. Herrera's charred corpse and the remains of the SCP-3843-1 instance. A suitable cover story involving a gas explosion is provided to the public. Due to the fact that Ms. Herrera maintained an active blog in which she detailed her playthroughs of various games, researchers have been able to build a theory regarding exactly what caused the explosion during the alteration process. In-game, Ms. Herrera was playing as an 'Adept' character class, centered around using 'mass effect fields' to fling enemies and objects via an implant in the player character's body. When SCP-3843 attempted to translate these fictional scientific concepts, and the implant that utilizes them, into the real world, the resulting incompatibility with standard reality caused a violent rejection of its container - which, in this case, was Ms. Herrera's body. Game: Nier: Automata (2017), PlayStation 4 Date: 09/22/2017 SCP-3843 Role: SCP-3843 appears as a merchant character within the game's factory area, identified as 7H6. As a merchant, SCP-3843 has two hundred of an item called 'Meats [sic]' in stock. Said item is non-functional. SCP-3843's dialogue consists of a lengthy speech primarily centered around how, as an android, it is unable to eat meat, and the distress this causes it. Dialogue Sample Close SCP-3843: Hey kid, come on over here and let my words in you. 9S7: We should go see what he wants, 2B. SCP-3843: Now listen you people, okay. I'm an android now. I've seen a lot of things on the planet Earth, okay. But I haven't see [sic] any meats. Only salt. I'm an android now so I don't find any salt or meats here. There's a lot of existentialism and I'm just looking for meats right now. The aliens and the machine lifeforms killed all the meats and destroyed all the meats crop so it's not good anymore. I'll sell you some meats if you're interested, okay. Incident Summary: Sightings of a 'robot' in Moscow, Russia attract Foundation attention due to the consistency between reports and photographic evidence of the entity. Foundation Agents track the entity to an apartment shared by Alexander Teterev, 18, Vadim Fokim, 20, and Timur Chuprin, 21, where it escapes initial pursuit. The bodies of Vadim Fokim and Timur Chuprin are found at the scene. Autopsy reveals the cause of death to be the sudden appearance of various mechanical implants within their bodies, causing severe internal bleeding. The robotic entity, currently believed to be Alexander Teterev, has not yet been located. Writings found in the shared apartment suggests that the three were aware of SCP-3843's effects, and hoped to utilize them in order to improve their physical capabilities8. Interview 3843-1 Close On 12/10/2012, Matthew Hendricks, a former employee of Indigo Games, contacted the Foundation via use of SCP-3843-related keywords during a 911 call. He was subsequently taken into custody and interviewed. Hendricks cooperated fully during this process. Interviewer: Dr McCall Interviewed: Matthew Hendricks <Begin Interview> Dr. McCall: Well, Mr. Hendricks, I'd like to begin by saying we're all very grateful for you stepping forward in this matter. Hendricks: No problem. Dr. McCall: Is there anything you'd like before we begin? Glass of water, a coffee maybe? Hendricks: Just…just a water, thanks. Dr. McCall: Water, please. (Research Assistant Bryant leaves and returns several moments later with a glass of water, which she gives to Hendricks.) Hendricks: Thanks. Dr. McCall: No problem. So, I'd like for us to begin by talking about Indigo Games. Your former employers, yes? (Hendricks chuckles.) Dr. McCall: This is amusing to you, sir? Hendricks: No! God, no. It's just…you calling them my employers. I was one third of the company, for God's sake. It was three guys in a garage. (Pause.) Dr. McCall: I'm sorry, Mr. Hendricks, but I find that really hard to believe. Our records show several anomalous items originating from your company, and to suggest that all of them were the work of three people… Hendricks: It's true. I guess we just…we just knew what we were doing. Dr. McCall: I…see. Well then, can you please tell me about these other two individuals? Hendricks: Besides me, there was Alan Tunney9 - he was kind of the boss - and Laura Weeks10. She handled the, uh…well, the magic stuff. Alan handled the business end of things. Most of the actual, well, coding was left to me. Like I said, we weren't much of a company. Dr. McCall: This Laura Weeks…she was a thaumaturgist, then? (Hendricks smiles.) Hendricks: Heh. She'd always say that, too. But come on, it's magic. Calling it something different doesn't change anything. Dr. McCall: So. How did Sam come about, then? (Pause.) Dr. McCall: Mr. Hendricks? (Pause.) Hendricks: It was Alan's idea, at first. I swear. Tron had just come out the year before and he - and he just loved that goddamn movie. Watched it I don't know how many times. Every time he'd come back and say the same thing, waving his arms around like it was the first time he'd come up with it. Dr McCall: I assume the idea was about… Hendricks: (interrupting) Yes, it was about Sam! (Pause.) Hendricks: Sorry. Didn't mean to lose my temper there. Yeah, it was…it was about that. He wanted to make virtual reality, like in Tron. So you could get sucked into the game and play around inside that world, then come out when you got bored. Dr. McCall: That sounds like a rather large undertaking. Hendricks: Yeah. (Laughs.) Yeah, it was. Everything we'd done until then, that other stuff you'd said you'd seen, that was like…well, nothing. Bells and whistles. A little stuff stuck in the back of the game to make you feel a certain way, or to have these tiny tiny tiny effects on the real world. (Pause.) Hendricks: But, well, what Alan wanted, Alan got. Laura and I just sort of got dragged along. So Laura went off searching for a way to do what Alan was talking about. Told me she was going to check at the library. (Chuckles.) Don't know what sort of library would have what we needed, but whatever. I went with it…I went with a lot of things. Dr. McCall: I assume she found whatever it is she was looking for? Hendricks: That she did. She comes back three days later with this big-ass book. A.A. Gilford's What Solomon Left Us: First Tool of a Summoner. I can't forget that fucking title. I knew it was a bad idea the moment she brought in that fucking Necronomicon-looking book, but I didn't say anything. God knows why. I just sat down and listened while they talked about it, and I didn't say a thing. Dr. McCall: Am I safe in assuming you summoned something for this purpose, then? Hendricks: Yeah. The idea was we'd put the thing we summoned into a game, like people used to do with rings and amulets and that kind of stuff, then give it the instruction to…well, make Tron happen. God, it sounds so stupid now. Dr. McCall: And what was it you summoned for this purpose? A demon? Hendricks: No, no, no. We were stupid, but we weren't that stupid. Straight away, we agreed no demons. So we…went the other direction. Dr. McCall: The…other direction? Hendricks: An angel. Dr. McCall: Oh. Hendricks: I know, I know it sounds bad now, but at the time it seemed like a reasonable option to take, you know? Demons bad, angels good, that's the way we thought it worked. I didn't…we didn't know what we were doing. Dr. McCall: I would hope not. Hendricks: So…we managed to summon it, needless to say. Meat and salt to draw it close, the three interlocking shapes to bring it to us, and the circle to bind it. That's how Laura said it worked, anyway. It was surprisingly easy, you know. Honestly, I didn't actually expect it to work. But it did. Dr. McCall: And the entity was originally bound to which game? Hendricks: I think it was Raiders of the Lost Ark. We were all real excited to try it, obviously, and Alan went first, because of course he did. Dr. McCall: And? Hendricks: Well, he learnt how to use a whip. But that was it, pretty much. I don't mean to talk shit about, you know, a messenger of God, but I don't think it was that smart. At least not in the way humans are smart. It got it confused: instead of bringing the player into the game, it brought the game into the player. Which was still pretty amazing, of course. Just not what Alan had wanted, so he sulked about it a little. We decided to shelve it for a while. I'd been working on some vanilla games in my spare time, so… Dr. McCall: Vanilla? Hendricks: Oh. That's what we called the games we made that weren't, well, 'anomalous'. Those were to keep us afloat so we could keep doing the stuff we were really interested in, to be honest. One of them, some stupid dog maze game, was pretty much done. I had a contact over at Atari, so I sent it over, had him check it out. Of course, at the time, I didn't know…well, there's no way I could have known… Dr. McCall: You didn't know it could spread. Hendricks: No. No, I did not. It must have infected a lot of stock over there. A whole lot. And that Christmas… (Pause.) Hendricks: …that Christmas, E.T. came out. I know someone, probably you guys, covered up what happened. Pulled the pictures. But I saw them. The bodies. Their faces. Even thinking about the movie makes me want to throw up. Dr. McCall: I've also seen the pictures as part of my assignment here. I have to agree that they're…well, gruesome. Hendricks: Gruesome. I guess that's a word for it. (Pause. Hendricks takes deep breaths for several moments.) Hendricks: Someone over there must have figured out what was going on at some point. I heard how they buried hundreds of that goddamn game out in the desert. Should've just burnt them. What if someone had found them? Oh God, did someone find them? Dr. McCall: Not that we know of. Please, Mr. Hendricks, try and remain calm. All of these things are in the past. (Pause.) Hendricks: Alright. Alright. I don't think…I don't think there's any more to tell. The three of us got the hell out at that point. Figured someone would be coming down on us hard soon enough, and we were…we were cowards. Stupid kids. We didn't want to get in trouble. Dr. McCall: Thank you, Mr. Hendricks. Your information will be very useful to our investigation. (Dr. McCall gets up to leave.) Hendricks: Wait! Dr. McCall: Yes? Hendricks: I have a, ah, a request. Now, I've cooperated, right - I turned myself in, I didn't have to do that, right? So at least, at least hear me out. (Pause.) Dr. McCall: Alright. Hendricks: You've got that drug. The one that makes you forget - you hear about it, in the circles I run in. An amnesiac or something. Dr. McCall: An amnestic. Hendricks: Yeah, that. Now, I know a lot of stuff that I, that I shouldn't know. All that happened with Indigo Games. You people could just make me forget it. Dr. McCall: I don't think that's an appropriate use of… Hendricks: (interrupting) Please! Please, just ask. (Pause.) Dr. McCall: …I'll file a request, but I can't guarantee anything. Hendricks: Thank you. God, thank you. (Research Assistant Bryant goes to leave. Dr. McCall goes to follow.) Hendricks: Doctor? Dr. McCall: Yes, Mr. Hendricks? Hendricks: We…we didn't mean to hurt anybody. (Pause.) Dr. McCall: I'm sure you didn't, Mr. Hendricks. <End Interview> Consideration for Mr. Hendricks request for extensive amnestic treatment is ongoing. Footnotes 1.

Please note that information presented herein may be misleading or incorrect. Uploader Note: The following documentation is the earliest Foundation record of SCP-3844. However, this was originally drafted before the Foundation formalized the process of describing containment procedures and anomalies. It is archived here solely for posterity. Correspondence From The Dolomite Mountains Regarding Anomalous Activity 21st of April, 1906 Dear Fredrick, A dragon. There was a dragon in the mountains. And it looked just like we'd imagined. Galviston and I had to follow our guide for about six hours before we first saw the beast. It soared over one peak, let out a low roar that loosened snow from the mountainside, and then dived out of sight. Its wings blocked out the sun like a cloud passing over head. I wish the whole lab could have seen it. It took us another two hours to reach the dragon's cavern. It was a massive cave, filled with gems and goblets and other such valuables. We never reached the end of that cave, but judging from the echoes our footfalls made, we would've needed rations to make it there. We gave up our search for the dragon for the day, thinking it was still flying about, and started our return trek to the outside. And then, just as we summited the last hill of treasure, we heard that roar. We froze, unsure if the noise came from our front or our back. The tension only faded after it spoke. It welcomed us as guests. The dragon motioned for us to come closer as it ambled in front of the maw of the cave. It had an accent like yours! Except lower and more gravelly. It took Galviston and I a few moments to come to our senses, and our guide a few more. The beast was quite the gentlemen if I do say so. It changed its form to resemble a young man to make us feel more relaxed. I held a lengthy discussion with it while Galviston took notes. It was surprisingly well-versed in modern-day affairs. When I introduced ourselves as men of science, it called us "a new age of knights". But do not fret, I did my duty. I'm surprised it worked, given our extreme lack of resources. I negotiated reasonable terms to keep the dragon contained within the Dolomites. I've transcribed the exact operating procedure below, but it agreed in writing. I can only hope it doesn't double cross us. But until then, those Italian officials should be content with our work, even if we've never handled an anomaly this massive before. I will return once I've met with the Italians again to organize the whole affair. Next time Fredrick, you'll come with us. You and George and the whole lab! Words cannot do this majestic beast justice. I'll bring some gin so we can drink together one day. Sincerely, Lester Here are the negotiation terms: The dragon known as Tharnock (henceforth "The Anomaly") has agreed to: Limit expeditions from its abode to one (1) time per day. Expeditions will remain within the confines of the Dolomite Mountains, and will maintain a low elevation. Refrain from vocalizing during expeditions. In return, the Anomaly Investigation Foundation (henceforth "The Foundation") has agreed to: Recruit one (1) ambassador to interact with The Anomaly once per week. Punish any attempts to steal valuables from The Anomaly. To maintain the secrecy of The Anomaly, the Nation of Italy (henceforth "The State") will: Discourage civilians from entering the Dolomite Mountains. Discredit any accounts of The Anomaly.

SCP-3845 | euclid | Photo of SCP-3845 during containment attempt #4 Item Tag: SCP-3845 Threat Level: Yellow Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3845 is to be housed in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-88. Testing of SCP-3845 must be approved by staff of Level 3+/3845 clearance and higher. Field agents stationed on Pitcairn Island are to continue searching for material suggesting SCP-3845's existence, specifically Artifact 1-5 instances (See Addendum 1). Description: SCP-3845 is a humanoid entity, roughly two meters tall. SCP-3845's head/torso takes the shape of an ellipsoid, with legs and arms extending off of it, long and tubular in shape. Hands take a shape similar to the head, and feet are simply 90° bends in the legs. Facial features are present on the front of SCP-3845's head, though the eyebrows are the only features capable of moving or contorting. SCP-3845's limbs have no definite joints, allowing them to contort to extremes with ease. Due to this, SCP-3845 is capable of feats such as jumping as high as six meters and running as fast as 89 km/h, which allowed it to escape Foundation forces numerous times prior to its containment. Prior to containment, SCP-3845 resided on Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific Ocean. At that time, SCP-3845 was typically docile, and took a liking to humans and other wildlife. Despite being incapable of speaking, SCP-3845 could easily cooperate with humans and seemed to have an innate understanding of their social cues. Due to this, SCP-3845 became well-known among the residents of Pitcairn Island, though was most often seen engaging with a Sarah ███████, age 15 (See Addendum 2). SCP-3845 also favored certain toys and foods. For information on SCP-3845's current behavior, please see Addendum 3. Addendum 1: Multiple artifacts have been retrieved from Pitcairn Island during previous containment attempts of SCP-3845, with several dating to 1384 AD, all of which have been linked to SCP-3845 by appearance. These artifacts include: A wooden carving of a figure resembling SCP-3845 Several severed body parts resembling those present in SCP-3845 Imprints in hardened soil resembling feet tracks made by SCP-3845 Sandstone engravings describing a possible anatomy of SCP-3845 Sandstone engravings depicting several SCP-3845 instances being hunted and severed It is believed that Artifacts 1, 4, and 5 were created by a group of Polynesians native to the Pitcairn Islands during SCP-3845's existence, and that Artifacts 2 and 3 were directly created by SCP-3845. Addendum 2: During SCP-3845 containment attempt #6, prior to containment, a GPS Tracker was planted on SCP-3845. Audio and panoramic video recorders were equipped for further analysis of SCP-3845's behavior. The Foundation successfully received information from the tracker for over 29 hours before losing contact. The events recorded through this tracker are documented in the sub-addenda below. Addendum 2.1: Transcript 01 Addendum 2.1: Transcript 01 Foreword: This transcript begins at the moment of tracker activation at approximately 8:43 AM1, sixteen minutes into containment attempt #6. Speech heard at the beginning of transmission originated from a MTF Epsilon-6 ("Village Idiots") operative, specifically Susan ███████ (Beta-2). <Begin Transcript> Beta-2: No, I think I… wait, it's on! The tracker's on! Silence for four seconds. Beta-2 is seen driving a motor bike roughly one meter behind SCP-3845 as it continues running through a forested region. Beta-2: We're heading east. It's taking a straight path. Guard the beaches, everyone. Have the net ready, Beta-10. Don't stress too much now, we… got the tracker on. Silence for ten seconds. Loud rustling is heard. Beta-2: It's speeding up, and… it's getting… more forested. Beta-3 and -4 are in town, right? … Good. If it heads west, Beta-5 is there. If it continues east, Beta-7… is there. Beta-8 is south. We got this. Silence for six seconds. Beta-2: Oh, Beta-6, uh… head to Beta-7. Quick. Everyone go to Beta-7, go east. It's pretty close to shore, so let's not take any chances. We can bring it down there. Silence for five seconds. Beta-2: Wait, I… I have a leak? What the hell? It's spewing everywhere! I'm slowing down, slowing down. Beta-2's voice quickly becomes more faint as SCP-3845 runs farther from Beta-2. Beta-2: Fuck, no! It took a turn, to the town! Head for the town! Don't let it get near the… Beta-2 becomes inaudible. SCP-3845 runs for several more minutes before slowing to a walking pace. SCP-3845 eventually reaches Adamstown, the only settlement on the island, and approaches a house. Once in front of the house, SCP-3845 repeatedly and rhythmically bangs its head against the front door. After a few seconds, Sarah ███████ opens the front door. Sarah: Uh… hey. Sorry, I just I just woke up, like… two minutes ago. You can just… yea, come in. SCP-3845 walks into the house, and enters the living room. SCP-3845 walks up to a couch and stands on it. Beta-3 and -4 confirm SCP-3845's presence in Adamstown, and containment attempt #6 is cancelled. Sarah: … Uh, okay. I'm gonna brush my teeth. Sarah walks into the bathroom. The sound of a running faucet is heard moments later, and lasts for three minutes. Afterward, Sarah exits the bathroom, rubbing her face with her hands. Sarah: Now… time for breakfast. SCP-3845 follows Sarah into the kitchen and sits on a stool in front of the counter. Sarah gets a box of Captain Crunch™ and Rice Krispies™ cereal from a cupboard and sets them on the counter, as well as milk and two paper bowls. Sarah proceeds to pour milk and cereal into each bowl. Sarah: Okay, let's eat! Sarah slides the bowl of Rice Krispies™ to SCP-3845 and proceeds to eat from the bowl of Captain Crunch™. SCP-3845 slowly immerses its hands into its bowl of cereal. Sarah: … Oh, sorry, I forgot you didn't use milk. Wow, I'm just really out of it to- SCP-3845 pours its entire bowl of cereal over its head. Sarah: … Okay. Cool. Sarah glances across the counter at a half-folded piece of paper. Sarah: … Grab that for me. SCP-3845 reaches across the counter, grabs the paper and hands it to Sarah. Upon opening the paper, Sarah sees a message which reads "I got another call from work. Take care of the house for a few days like last time, but use my money wisely! Love you bunches, mom." Sarah: … SCP-3845 begins to pour itself more cereal. Sarah puts her hands over her face and starts to sob. She then abruptly leaves the table. Sarah: Every time. Every damn time! She makes shit up over and over. Oh, it's okay, I work from home now. We can be together again. Fuck that! We haven't talked in weeks! Sarah bangs her fists on the wall and then sits down on the floor next to it. She puts her head in her lap and sobs. SCP-3845 sits down next to Sarah, still holding the box of Rice Krispies™. Sarah: (muffled) Just leave me alone for once. SCP-3845 remains silent for three seconds. Afterward, SCP-3845 pours the Rice Krispies™ over Sarah. After a few more seconds, Sarah begins laughing hysterically, and lifts her head up. Sarah: I can't. I can't help it. You're so stupid. Sarah reaches over and hugs SCP-3845. Sarah continues laughing, but starts to sob again. Sarah lets go of SCP-3845 and wipes off her face. Sarah: … You're literally the only one I have at this point. There's no one else. Silence for five seconds. Sarah: … I guess you're awesome enough though. Who needs to know a bunch of people when you have a tall, uh… thing, for a friend. SCP-3845 does a single nod. Sarah: … Yea. A really, really cool tall thing for a friend. Silence for three seconds. Sarah shifts in position. Sarah: Welp, this day is off to a good start. Now, let's… let's start cleaning this stuff up, Buddy2. Extraneous data expunged. <End Transcript> Notes: N/A Addendum 2.2: Transcript 02 Addendum 2.2: Transcript 02 Foreword: This transcript begins 16 hours subsequent to the events in Transcript 01, at approximately 8:12 AM. <Begin Transcript> SCP-3845 is seen moving at a walking pace through a forested region. SCP-3845 eventually reaches Mason's Point, Pitcairn Island's peninsula, and begins thoroughly surveying the landscape. Upon reaching the shoreline, an Artifact 2 instance is discovered and observed by SCP-3845, resembling an intact SCP-3845 head and face. The instance is notably weathered and tarnished, with a dark pigment running down the face from the eyes. SCP-3845 picks up the instance with its hands shaking, and wipes the pigment from under its eyes. SCP-3845 sets down the instance, and begins wiping dark fluid from beneath its own eyes. SCP-3845 continues surveying Mason's Point, and later comes back to the Artifact 2 instance and carries it off the peninsula. SCP-3845 heads back towards Adamstown, and arrives at Sarah's house. SCP-3845 ordinarily knocks on the front door with its right hand. Sarah opens the front door. Sarah: Well hello again! What happened to head-butting the door? Sarah sees the Artifact 2 instance. Sarah: Oh… another one. SCP-3845 places the instance next to the front door, in a pile of several other Artifact 2 instances. Sarah: All in one week. There were a lot of them, I guess… SCP-3845 stares at the pile of instances. Sarah: … So are you ready to do stuff? Oh wait— so, you may be wondering why I'm actually up this early… maybe not, but… I basically have a surprise for you. Wait here, it's almost done. Sarah closes the front door. SCP-3845 continues waiting for over 16 minutes before Sarah opens the door. Sarah: Come in! Sarah leaves the door open and runs back into the house. SCP-3845 follows. Sarah: Over here, in the bathroom! SCP-3845 walks into the bathroom, and finds Sarah standing next to a bathtub, which is completely filled with Rice Krispies™. Sarah: Ta-da! Go ahead, embrace the, uh… cereal! Of rice! SCP-3845 stands inside of the tub and slowly immerses itself. Sarah: What do you think? SCP-3845 hesitantly does a single nod. Sarah: … It better be! I used half of my mom's wallet on all that. Can I sit in it next? SCP-3845 emerges from the tub and stands against the wall. Sarah runs up and jumps into the tub. Sarah: Ow… this is solid! How did you sink in it? SCP-3845 does an exaggerated and prolonged shrug. Sarah: Whatever. Next up, adding milk! Sarah runs out of the bathroom and into the kitchen, but SCP-3845 proceeds to leave the house and walk down the street. Sarah does not seem to notice until several moments later, and can be heard calling out "Buddy!" once SCP-3845 has entered a forested region. SCP-3845 proceeds to survey the region similarly to how it did previously, and finds several minor Artifact 2 instances. After 60 minutes, SCP-3845 comes across a single Artifact 4 instance in notably good condition, and picks it up. SCP-3845 stares at the instance, and then abruptly shatters it. SCP-3845 smears over each remaining piece with soil. Nearby, SCP-3845 discovers a set of four intact Artifact 5 instances, stacked on top of one another. SCP-3845 proceeds to spread each instance out on the ground, and frantically looks back and forth across each one. SCP-3845's hands begin to shake once more, and it raises its right hand over the first Artifact 5 instance, before hesitating and lowering its hand. SCP-3845 sits on the ground with its hands over its eyes for several more minutes before calming down and continuing to survey the landscape. Near a large tree stump, SCP-3845 discovers an Artifact 2 instance, resembling an intact SCP-3845 head, face, and left leg. The instance is significantly weathered and tarnished, with multiple arrowheads inserted into its head. Dark pigment is splattered across the face. SCP-3845's hands begin to shake once more as it kneels over the instance and excretes more dark fluid from its eyes. SCP-3845's hands and feet become noticeably more pale. SCP-3845 charges back towards the Artifact 5 instances and violently breaks each one. The shattered remains are then broken once again. SCP-3845 summarily hunches over on the ground, with its body shaking, banging its hands repeatedly on the ground. While frantically looking around, SCP-3845 finds a piece of a previously intact Artifact 5 instance, depicting a young, unhappy female. SCP-3845 grasps the piece and begins excreting dark fluid from its eyes once again. SCP-3845 promptly runs out of the forested region and out onto the beach again, where it finds Sarah. Sarah: … Buddy! I've been looking everywhere for you! Where have you been? What's that dark stuff— SCP-3845 runs up to Sarah and tightly hugs her while sobbing and shaking. Sarah eventually hugs back, with a concerned expression. Sarah then notices the GPS tracker on SCP-3845, and reaches for it. Transmission cuts out. <End Transcript> Notes: The GPS tracker was found broken within Sarah's house. The aforementioned pile of Artifact 2 instances was later contained at Site-77. Addendum 3: During SCP-3845 containment attempt #9, SCP-3845 was successfully contained, and containment procedures were updated to reflect this. Since containment, SCP-3845 has been most commonly banging against the walls of its cell, or curled up in the corner of its cell sobbing. SCP-3845 has acted with extreme hostility towards all personnel. All Pitcairn Island residents were promptly administered amnestic following SCP-3845's containment. Sarah ███████ was notably last to be amnesticized due to her extreme struggle with the on-site Field Agents. Footnotes 1. Pitcairn Standard Time 2.

SCP-3846 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3846 Level 2/3846 Classified Walden Pond, Circa 1908. Special Containment Procedures: Foundation operatives planted in distribution and reception facilities for literature in the state of Massachusetts are to examine all copies of Walden and contain SCP-3846 prior to shelving, preferably through the discreet removal of pages containing SCP-3846. Agents exposed to SCP-3846 in this manner are to keep a dream journal for a period of six months, or until dreams caused by SCP-3846 stop occurring for at least two weeks. Description: SCP-3846 consists of three pages of anomalous text appearing in approximately half of all editions of Henry David Thoreau's Walden1 that are sold within the Massachusetts Bay Area, including Boston, Salem, Lexington, Concord, and the gift shop at the Walden Pond Visitor's Center. SCP-3846 typically appears as a foreword or afterword, but has also taken the form of a note from the publisher. The content of SCP-3846 is critical of the life and work of Henry David Thoreau, and appears to be written by an individual or individuals that knew of intimate details of their life not present in historical documents. The exact phrasing of SCP-3846 varies, but it is identifiable by the inclusion of the following portion: Hypocrite, hack, inspiration, saint, visionary, abolitionist, misanthrope, overrated, simple-minded, and several other phrases have been used to describe Thoreau and his work. The damage he has done to Walden Pond is immeasurable. I aim to correct that. Individuals who read SCP-3846 will have dreams depicting scenes and actions related to Thoreau, as viewed from an exterior perspective. These scenes and actions do not necessarily correspond to Thoreau's actual life experience, and seem to be largely allegorical or metaphorical. Excerpts of the dream journal of oneirologist William Applegate, who voluntarily exposed themselves to SCP-3846, follow: Show Dream Journal Excerpts – hide block Thoreau is tending to his bean field by the side of Walden Pond.2 Several beans are blown off their stalks float into the lake.3 These beans germinate upon the water and proceed to cause the Pond to shrink. Thoreau is in his mother's house, while she does his laundry. A common point of criticism to show how Thoreau was a hypocrite. Several cameras (think 1940s style, Kodaks with large flash bulbs) are outside his window, taking photographs, like an anachronistic paparazzi. Thoreau is watching as Concord Woods burn.4 He bears no remorse on his face. A bolt of lightning comes from his finger, and another fire ignites.5 Walden Pond shrinks again. Walden Pond is enclosed by Concord on all sides. Thoreau writes. The city shrinks. As does the Pond. But the city is still there, just out of sight. The Pond is hardly even a pond now, more a puddle. Thoreau is writing his passage on Solitude within his cabin. Even as he does so, someone cooks dinner for him. Men and women swim in the Pond outside, paradoxically. They seem to drown in a pool they can barely dip their toes into. People read Walden. The Pond shrinks to the size of a molecule. People come to see it, expecting untamed wilderness, and find a train passing through, ants swimming in the molecule. They are disappointed. Repeat ad nauseum, exit through the gift shop. Books are bought, books gather dust. There is chewing gum stuck to Thoreau's palm. Darkness. Then, a voice: "He fancied me an Ocean, I was a Lake called a Pond, and now I am scarcely a Drop in the eyes of Humanity." Despite being known to the Foundation for over fifty years, there have been fewer than sixty reported instances of SCP-3846. Foundation scholars believe that this is due to the fact that, despite the fact that several thousand copies of Walden are sold in the Massachusetts Bay area each year, less than 1% of them are ever read. Footnotes 1. Published in 1854, Walden is a work of transcendentalist literature recounting Thoreau's experiences during a twenty-six month long stay at Walden Pond in Massachusetts. Walden also acts as a meditation on civilization, nature, and solitude. 2. Thoreau's bean field was actually some distance north of the pond; this dream portrays it as being by the lakeside. 3. Despite its name, Walden Pond is actually a small lake, with a shoreline of approximately 2.7km. 4. In 1844, a campfire set by Thoreau and some companions on a fishing trip led to a large forest fire in Concord Woods. It is speculated that this incident inspired the writing of Walden. 5. Believed to be a reference to a passage in Thoreau's journal regarding the fire, where he states: "I have set fire to the forest, but I have done no wrong therein, and now it is as if the lightning had done it." |
SCP-3847 | safe | Item #: SCP-3847 Special Containment Procedures: Fences have been erected around SCP-3847 to establish a secure perimeter 20 m away from the affected area. Outpost-3847 has been established at the entrance to SCP-3847 and is maintained by Site-143. Outpost-3847 must be continually manned by 2 personnel to warn off civilians and monitor the area. Experiments and updates regarding SCP-3847 are to be filed back to Site-143. Description: SCP-3847 is an area of roughly 40 m X 80 m X 5 m 20 m, located in █████ ██, ████████, Henan Province, China. When within SCP-3847, vocalizations produced by avian creatures1 are perceived by human subjects as messages in their native language, hereafter referred to as SCP-3847-1. SCP-3847-1 instances are scattered messages, often words of encouragement or comfort, with occasional repetition. They seem to be addressing a certain unknown individual, rather than the affected subjects, and are not influenced by attempts at communication. Recording of avian vocalizations within SCP-3847 shows that only human perceptions are altered while the original sounds are unaffected. SCP-3847-1 instances also do not correspond to the original vocalizations in length, volume, or pitch. Furthermore, different human subjects often perceive the same vocalization as different messages. It is therefore believed that birds entering the area are not the source of SCP-3847-1, and do not gain intelligence in the process. + Examples of SCP-3847-1 - Examples of SCP-3847-1 Balance yourself with nature. Your mind and body at ease. Feel the flow. Don't torture yourself by thinking about it. There are wonders to be explored, let's focus on that. He will not be alone. It is with your help, and he appreciates that. He won’t blame you. Your king won’t either. You don't have to blame yourself. I'm sure you will have a sweet dream tonight. Blessings. It is not your fault, you did what you can. The whole kingdom appreciates your effort. It's okay if you want to be left alone. Stay here with us. No more worries. No need to dwell on the past. The hills are charming today. Share your burden with me. I will understand. The machine will keep him happy, just like we will keep you happy. Time to study some scrolls. I will accompany you. What a beautiful day outside! Camellias are blooming. Why not come join us in the field? We will sing for you. You couldn't have seen it coming. Afterall, he was the greatest king. You don’t need to worry about it anymore, sit down and have some tea. You don't have to feel lonely here. We are here for you, always will be. SCP-3847 came to the Foundation’s attention after several locals accidentally discovered its properties. Update: Further experimentation finds that ophidian creatures are subject to the same effect as avian creatures within SCP-3847. The messages produced in this way are hereafter referred to as SCP-3847-2. SCP-3847-2 appears drastically different from SCP-3847-1 in tone and manner. + Examples of SCP-3847-2 - Examples of SCP-3847-2 Coward. Pathetic. Useless. Do something! Anything! Stop hiding here! Futile. All pointless. He's suffering, and you're no help. Go back and witness his suffering. Witness what you allowed to happen. How can you just sit here, while he suffers? Do you think that mere machine is enough to ease his pain? For all he did for you? He was your mentor and friend. You owe him everything. Go back to him. Go back. How could you let him do it alone? To face his own blood like that? How long can you even stay here like this? You know the voices aren't real. In your nightmares, were you standing on that abyss again? Were you devoured by the false dragons beneath? It is no use. This is not real, you're talking to no one here. You know, because you made this happen. The serpent is disappointed in you. We are no dragons after all, and never will be. You can't hide here forever. The others have not come for you because they respect you, not that you have the right. You could have been there for him yourself, yet you hide here, with birds and flowers. You should have prevented it. How could you have been so blind? You're running from your duties. From your friends. This cannot stand. You're very much alone. Just like he is now. Addendum: Subsequent exploration of SCP-3847’s borders revealed that SCP-3847 extends beneath the ground. Digging at the site found around 170 snake carcasses buried together in a corner beneath SCP-3847, all of which have crushed skulls. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3848 | keter | Item #: SCP-3848 Special Containment Procedures: Copies of this document are retained in both digital and physical formats at all Foundation sites. Access to this document by Foundation personnel is not to be restricted, regardless of clearance level. In the event of a full ED-K-Class Lethe Scenario1 taking place and affecting more than 80% of the human population, public knowledge of this document and the existence of the Foundation is permitted, and can be approved if more than half of the acting O5 Council and more than half of the acting Ethics Committee vote as such. Per every Foundation facility, at least one specialist who has undergone full Mk. III Amnesia Resistance Targeted Mnestic Exposure Training2 should have this document memorized. Two specific ED-K Lethe Events are considered theoretical but likely to occur, and each poses a unique threat to successful containment operations. These scenarios, and their respective containment procedures, are outlined below: In the event that SCP-3848 induces widespread memory loss of the concept of itself, SCP-3848 is to be reclassified as a Class V Self-Concealing Memetic Construct3 and treated accordingly. Following that, this document is then to be rewritten with the same containment procedures (unless unforeseen changes are necessary), a Description different enough from the original to be recalled without memory issue, and a different Item Number, and then re-posted to IntSCPFN4 listings as soon as possible. In the event that SCP-3848 affects the knowledge of anything conceptually similar to the Foundation's existence, the knowledge of what is or is not considered anomalous by Foundation standards, and/or the concept of containment, personnel affected are to be transferred out of the area affected into the custody of memetics specialists in unaffected Foundation facilities. The affected persons should then be exposed to memetic symbols or phrases designed to induce recollection of these concepts.5 Description: SCP-3848 is the designation for a collective memory loss phenomenon affecting all residents of any one specific region6 at any given time. Manifestations of SCP-3848's effects are referred to as ED-K Lethe Events, and occur at random with no historical correlation to each other. An ED-K Lethe Event is characterized by the following parameters: Knowledge of a concept, object, or entity will be expunged through anomalous means from the memory of the affected humans. This occurs without warning and can only be identified as having occurred by an outside observer who was not exposed to SCP-3848's effects. Any memories of interactions with things forgotten will still exist, but will have no context in the affected person's frame of reference. Memories of forgotten concepts will be vague and difficult to describe, with affected persons citing that attempting to recall details of occurrences feels counter-intuitive and psychologically uncomfortable. Loss of memory of a concept is long-lasting7 and self-sustaining; if an affected person is reminded of a concept forgotten, they will forget again as soon as the topic changes, and will undergo the same reintroduction every time they are exposed to the concept. Clinical treatment using targeted mnestics administration can be effective, but has only a 9% success rate in tests thus far. Investigation into controlled anomalous forced memory recollection technology is underway.8 Due to the nature of SCP-3848's effects, it is difficult to ascertain records of the first documented event, if such records exist. The first event available in Foundation records is the case of July 12th, 2003 in ████, Wisconsin, in which 156 Foundation personnel and approximately 60,000 civilians suddenly and anomalously lost all knowledge of the existence of all canine species, including their pets. This occurrence was limited to the region of ████, with all residents inside city limits affected, all personnel at nearby Site-██ affected, and 50% of ████ County affected. Notably, no persons outside of county lines were affected. Details on this case, and others, are available in Addendum I. It is unknown how many ED-K Lethe Events have occurred without the Foundation's knowledge, what concepts may or may not have been purged from collective human memory, and how long SCP-3848 has been active. It is theorized that at least one major, worldwide series of connected events — referred to in Foundation documentation as an ED-K-Class Lethe Scenario — has already taken place at some point in the recent past. However, details of these events, if they did take place, are not easily accessible due to the inherent self-sustaining nature of the memory loss induced by SCP-3848. ED-K Lethe Events occur approximately thrice a month as of 04/2018, showing a 78% increase in average rate of occurrence since the first detected event in 2003. Addendum I: Included below is a selection of SCP-3848 example cases. Date of Occurrence: July 16, 2003 Location Affected: ████ County, Wisconsin, USA Number of Civilians Affected: Approx. 60,000 Number of Foundation Personnel Affected: 156 Description of Concept Affected: The existence of dogs/canine species; all affected persons lost all knowledge and awareness of the existence of canine species. Events Transpired: At least 20 civilian dog owners made calls to police and animal control, citing that an unfamiliar creature was present in their home. Local responders agreed that the creatures were unfamiliar, and contacted state authorities, who were unaffected by the SCP-3848 event due to their location outside the area of effect; embedded Foundation agents then informed nearby Site-██ of the occurrences, only to discover that Site-██ had also been affected. It was at this point that SCP-3848 was officially documented as an anomalous phenomenon and preliminary containment procedures were developed. An interview between Specialist Ryland, the only unaffected person in the area9 and an affected agent was conducted, and a transcript of this interview is included below. Results and Impact: As re-education efforts were shown to repeatedly fail due to the self-sustaining nature of SCP-3848's effects, dogs were relocated to neighboring counties' adoption shelters. Approximately 80 percent of ████ County's population has lived there since the event, and still hold no memory of dogs. The 20 percent who moved to the area after the event occurred are unaffected. ⮟ show interview transcript ⮝ hide interview transcript On July 16th, 2003, Specialist Ryland of Site-██ conducted an interview with Agent █████, who was affected by July 12th's ED-K Lethe Event. Specialist Ryland was, at the time, Site-██'s only employee who had undergone Mk. III ARTMET training, and thus was able to successfully counter the effects of the event long enough to interview Agent █████ and lead preliminary research efforts on SCP-3848. A transcript of the relevant interview segment follows: Begin excerpt: 10:02 | Specialist Ryland: As you've been informed, I'm conducting this series of interviews to determine the effects of this memory-affecting event on Site-██'s personnel, including myself. Do you still have in mind the topic we'll be discussing? 10:02 | Agent █████: Yeah, you said dogs, right? 10:02 | Specialist Ryland: That's correct. You have a dog at home, yes? 10:02 | Agent █████: I do? 10:02 | Specialist Ryland: You cited to me before this interview that you own a white Russian wolfhound. 10:02 | Agent █████: A Russian- That does sound familiar. What did you say this Russian thing was? 10:02 | Specialist Ryland: A dog. Canines are a non-anomalous type of animal that humans have domesticated and bred just like we did with cats. Agent █████ pauses for 10 seconds. 10:03 | Agent █████: Wow. I wonder how I went so long without knowing that. What else did you need to ask? 10:03 | Specialist Ryland: It's imperative you understand that you very recently did know about dogs, but were anomalously induced to forget by the effects of newly-discovered SCP-3848, a memory loss phenomenon. Site-██, and the rest of ████ County, were just affected by an event that caused us to forget canines exist. People outside of our area were not affected. I have had memetic resistance training that allows me to focus on the topic longer than most, but SCP-3848 induces repetitive memory loss and our research has shown that subjects forgotten are invariably forgotten again, even if retaught. Does this make sense to you? 10:03 | Agent █████: Yes. It's not the craziest I've heard. I'll try to wrap my head around it. 10:04 | Specialist Ryland: Alright. Unfortunately, this is the third time that I've given you this briefing. I recommend clearing your head of any and all thoughts or topics except for dogs, SCP-3848, and this conversation. I have some pictures of dogs printed out here on the table for you. Try to explain what your reaction is to seeing these pictures of dogs. 10:04 | Agent █████: I don't like how you keep saying 'dogs'. It doesn't sound like a real word. 10:04 | Specialist Ryland: Noted. Can you please look at these images of dogs? Agent █████ picks up a photograph of their pet, a white Borzoi. 10:04 | Agent █████: It doesn't look real. Almost like a horse, but too soft. Hard to believe that we've always had these things around. 10:04 | Specialist Ryland: Indeed. That dog is yours, and lives in your townhome offsite. 10:05 | Agent █████: This is mine? I don't know how to take care of it. What do we do about that? 10:05 | Specialist Ryland: Personnel from my department will address that with you later today. 10:05 | Agent █████: Are all of these pictures… dogs? 10:05 | Specialist Ryland: Yes. These are all different breeds of dogs. Agent █████ picks up a photograph of an American pitbull. 10:05 | Agent █████: Wow, this looks very different from the white one. Probably the most different out of all of the pictures here. And what type of creature is this? 10:05 | Specialist Ryland: This is also a dog. 10:05 | Agent █████: Oh, right, a dog. And what SCP did you say they are? 10:05 | Specialist Ryland: Dogs are not an SCP object. Your memory of dogs, which are a very well-known and domesticated type of animal all over the planet, is being anomalously influenced by SCP-3848. 10:05 | Agent █████: Oh, right, right. You told me about that one. 10:05 | Specialist Ryland: Yes. Now, could you please describe for the record the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing every time you make an attempt to remember dogs, or think about dogs? 10:05 | Agent █████: Very uncomfortable. I feel like I should be talking about something else. 10:05 | Specialist Ryland: Do you feel there is a reason for this? Agent █████ is silent for 8 seconds. 10:05 | Agent █████: Not really. It feels like… um… I'm sorry, I'm losing my train of thought here. Can you repeat your q- Wait, no, no, I remember, damn it. These pictures are of dogs. Okay, I've got this. Something doesn't want me to remember dogs. Do you know the concept of dimensions higher than three? 10:06 | Specialist Ryland: We need to make an effort to stay on the topic of dogs, and SCP-3848. 10:06 | Agent █████: Just bear with me. You know when you look at a 3D rendition of a 4D cube, and you sort of get it, but you feel like you're missing some key aspect of actually processing how it exists, and you just can't get yourself to comprehend it, because you have no way of perceiving the space it naturally exists in? 10:06 | Specialist Ryland: I think so, yes. 10:06 | Agent █████: That's what looking at these pictures of dogs makes me think. I get that these easily could have showed up in Earth's evolution — er, I mean, I get that that's why they're real — but they look and feel alien. Thinking about them is like thinking about those other dimensions in space. I get that it's possible, but I don't have the means to comprehend it. 10:06 | Specialist Ryland: Excellent. Thank you. 10:06 | Agent █████: Is that it? Can I go now? I really want to think about something else. All of this memetic shit is giving me a headache. I don't think I'd make it if I were in your department. 10:06 | Specialist Ryland: Yes, that's it. I'll have two of my coworkers meet you at your house tonight to discuss what to do with your dog. 10:07 | Agent █████: Oh wow, I don't think I caught the fact that I have a dog. I wonder what I'm going to do about that. 10:07 | Specialist Ryland: Again, our personnel will assist you with that. For the time being, this interview is concluded. You may return to your shift. 10:07 | Agent █████: Oh, okay, thanks. End log. Date of Occurrence: August 12, 2005 Location Affected: Wilmington, North Carolina, USA Number of Civilians Affected: Approx. 110,000 Number of Foundation Personnel Affected: 13 Description of Concept Affected: The sport of line fishing; commercial/bulk net fishing was not affected, nor was the concept of fish. Events Transpired: On August 12, customers in a local sporting goods store inquired as to the nature and purpose of the fishing rods up for sale. Store associates cited that the devices were unfamiliar to them as well. Although the process took 48 hours, the abnormality eventually spread by word of mouth to the Wilmington Police Department, and from there to Foundation personnel stationed at Site-42. As Site-42 is not within Wilmington's official city limits, personnel on-site were not affected, but 13 personnel who had been inside city limits for the day were affected. Results and Impact: Wilmington residents remain familiar with other methods of fishing, but are averse to line fishing. Line fishing is still a professional sport in the coastal area, although participants and organizers are always from areas outside of Wilmington's official city limits. 15 percent of the original affected persons have now moved, with city population swelling in following years, and as a result about half of Wilmington is now familiar with line fishing. [UNCONFIRMED EVENT REMOVED] Date of Occurrence: October 23, 2007 Location Affected: Felixstowe, United Kingdom Number of Civilians Affected: Approx. 23,000 Number of Foundation Personnel Affected: 1 Description of Concept Affected: The existence of boats, but not the concept of buoyant materials. Events Transpired: Two Foundation operatives were dispatched to Felixstowe for a mission involving an unrelated anomaly. One operative spent the night in Felixstowe with intentions to use a small private motorboat to cross an inlet and rendezvous with their partner at nearby Harwich International Port for extraction. On the morning of October 23, the operative in Felixstowe reported that they could not complete the mission because they knew of no way to cross the body of water without swimming. After some conversation between the two operatives, the unaffected person reported the strange behavior to Foundation supervisors, and the event was investigated accordingly; it was then determined by investigation that the entire parish of Felixstowe was affected. Results and Impact: Felixstowe residents expressed unease regarding their proximity to water, resulting in a panic that caused most residents to purchase life preservers and other such devices, in preparation for the theoretical possibility that someone could fall into water and have no way of being rescued quickly. Images of passing ships were posted to social media with confusion, and Foundation information suppression specialists were tasked with removing traces of these posts as they occurred, either manually or through use of a keyword-targeting bot. Date of Occurrence: March 18, 2011 Location Affected: Queens, New York City, New York, USA Number of Civilians Affected: Approx. 2.3 million Number of Foundation Personnel Affected: 730 Description of Concept Affected: The existence of the turn signal indicator in passenger vehicles. Events Transpired: An Offsite Response Driver for Site-██ was observed not using his signal by a passenger from an out-of-state site. The resulting discussion between the two eventually led to investigation by Site-██ and subsequent public analysis of the phenomenon. Results and Impact: Minimal impact was observed. Traffic patterns for the area saw a 2.8% increase in accidents per year for two years and then returned to normal averages. Date of Occurrence: December 7, 2015 Location Affected: Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany Number of Civilians Affected: Approx. 205,000 Number of Foundation Personnel Affected: 0 Description of Concept Affected: The mechanics through which alternating current electricity functions; the use of electricity and electrical devices was not affected, nor was the knowledge that electricity exists. Events Transpired: All affected persons became incapable of comprehending how wide-scale power distribution works, including employees of power companies and local government. Mainz suffered a three-day power outage due to lack of action by power grid operators; Foundation informants embedded in national government reported on the issue and were eventually able to transfer personnel from out of the area to manage power stations. Results and Impact: Power grid was successfully restored. Most of Mainz's population remains affected, but power grid operations personnel have been replaced with informed employees and the city now operates normally. Date of Occurrence: January 3, 2017 Location Affected: ████████ █████, Ontario, Canada Number of Civilians Affected: [REDACTED] Number of Foundation Personnel Affected: 0 Description of Concept Affected: The fact that murder is illegal, as well as the fact that it is generally regarded as immoral. Events Transpired: On the morning of January 3, a ████████ █████ resident killed his neighbor via blunt force impact with a sharpened stone. Onlookers did not report the event to law enforcement. After approximately 72 hours, a traveler from outside city limits entered ████████ █████, witnessed a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police kill a civilian seemingly at random with an audience of several witnesses, and fled the town to inform law enforcement in another area. It was through these channels that the Foundation was eventually alerted to the events that had taken place. Results and Impact: [DATA EXPUNGED] Extensive records of all known SCP-3848 events documented by the Foundation are available for persons with Level 4/3848 clearance, and can be requested from the Site-42 Memetics and Cognitohazards Department. Footnotes 1. A high number of ED-K Lethe Events occurring at a rate that both noticeably and negatively impacts human society and results in public awareness of the SCP-3848 phenomenon. With current predictions, this point will be reached by 2035 at the latest. 2. A regimen of tolerance training sessions originally developed by the Site-42 Memetics and Cognitohazards Department which involves repeated exposure to memory-affecting memetic hazards, followed by administration of memory-targeting mnestics. (Referred to in shorthand as ARTMET.) 3. "anti-meme" 4. the International SCP Foundation Network 5. One such symbol, the three-pointed SCP Foundation logo, is an example of a low-level memetic conceptual induction symbol designed by Foundation personnel, and has been in use for ██ years. However, development of these tools to a degree capable of countering SCP-3848's effects is currently still in experimental stages, with D-class testing pending approval. 6. SCP-3848 events appear to occur within the exact constraints of municipal boundaries, such as being limited to one town inside city limits or one county inside county lines. 7. Certain concepts forgotten appear to be more easily recollected by affected persons, but no case has shown recollection occurring any sooner than 6-24 months after initial expungement. 8. Edited by Mallory Wickerford (Site-42 Research Department) 03/03/27 9. Due to Ryland's effectiveness, his memetic training regimen was then used as the baseline for development of future containment procedures and personnel requirements. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3848" by Genburten, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3849 | safe | SCP-3849. Item #: SCP-3849 Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-3849 cannot be relocated without risking structural damage to the surrounding bathtub, the property located at 810 Danforth St, Portland, ME has been purchased through a Foundation front company. The property is to remain locked, with access restricted to personnel with 4/3849 clearance. Description: SCP-3849 is a region of space located within a wall-mounted bathtub on the second floor of 810 Danforth St, Portland, ME. The area of space to which SCP-3849 connects has been determined to exist 4.43 billion years in the past, at some location within the confines of Earth's gravity well.1 SCP-3849 induces no negative pressure in the surrounding room, though any object placed into the anomalous space will continue to fall towards the planet. Due to the narrow window of view available, the surface of Earth cannot be seen. SCP-3849 was first discovered on 8-18-18, when homeowner Chris Mattingly contacted local authorities, claiming that his wife, Christina Mattingly, had "fallen into space in the bathtub". Addendum 3849-TL: SCP-3849 Test log Test A - 8/20/18 Subject: One sealed time capsule with Barium-130 isotope half-life dating apparatus. Procedure: Time capsule dropped into SCP-3849. Time capsule recovered through SCP-1162. Results: Difference in time between the interior of SCP-3849 and current time determined. Analysis: Trace amounts of biological matter from an unidentified multi-cellular organism were found fossilized around the time capsule, with a strata of stromatolite suspected to be the remains of previously undiscovered primitive prokaryotic organisms. Further testing has been judged to carry the risk of being antithetical to the development of biological life on Earth, and is prohibited by O5 command. Footnotes 1. See Addendum 3849-TL. |

Description: SCP-3850 is a phenomenon centered around a body (termed SCP-3850-1) floating in ████████████ Lake in the U.S. state of ██████. A thick fog surrounds SCP-3850-1 within an estimated 5-kilometer radius, growing thicker as SCP-3850-1 is approached to the extent that viewers are unable to perceive objects more than ten centimeters away from them. When a person is close enough to SCP-3850-1, the fog will lift enough so that it can be seen. However, the fog does not lift at any distance farther than one meter from the viewer. SCP-3850-1 itself is the body of a Native American male floating face-down in the lake. Although SCP-3850-1 never moves of its own power when under observation, it has occasionally changed its position in-between observations so that it is perpendicular to the lake, its body contorted into the positions of a person floundering or drowning. Photographs of SCP-3850-1's face have been matched to ████████ ███, an Abenaki Indian accused and acquitted of murdering his brother ███████ ███ in 1925. Individuals who come within viewing distance of SCP-3850-1 are subject to a spatial anomaly which prevents them from moving closer than 25 meters to SCP-3850-1, regardless of any movement made. Although fuel measurements, speedometers, and ripples in the water indicate that movement is taking place, GPS measurements, satellite imagery, and sonar/radar detection show no movement. Moving out of viewing distance of SCP-3850-1 also moves one out of the radius of the spatial anomaly. Two unorthodox attempts have been made to reach SCP-3850: once by a diving D-Class and once by a skydiving D-Class. The diver was unable to reach SCP-3850 but was able to retreat successfully; his bathymeter reached a depth of 25 meters before it stopped moving. The skydiver's altimeter stopped at an altitude of 25 meters, but audiovisual recording indicated that she was still falling; all attempts to retrieve her by helicopter were halted by the spatial anomaly. The skydiver's camera recorded for approximately █ months before its battery died. The skydiver's body is currently visible and suspended above SCP-3850-1, though it appears blurry both in-person and through viewing equipment as if moving at high speed. Addendum 3850-1: Sonar observation of the area around SCP-3850-1 has shown the presence of a human skeleton partially buried at the bottom of the lake, directly below SCP-3850-1. The skeleton was retrieved from the lakebed via scuba divers, but dissolved into water immediately upon breaking the surface. At the same time, SCP-3850-1 sank to the bottom of the lake and landed at the same position where the skeleton was recovered, whereupon the flesh and muscle of its body dissolved, leaving its own skeleton; the water at its initial position on the surface was seen to coalesce into another instance of SCP-3850-1. Further attempts to retrieve the skeleton on the lakebed ended with the same result. However, small samples of bone have been recovered from the skeleton without incident. DNA analysis of the bone indicates that it is also of Native American descent. Since this incident, personnel observing SCP-3850-1 have reported hearing chanting from an unknown source, identified as a dialect of Eastern Abenaki, within viewing distance of SCP-3850-1. Attempts to recover SCP-3850-1 remotely are ongoing. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3850" by A Random Day, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3851 | safe | SCP-3851 upon recovery. Item #: SCP-3851 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3851 is contained behind a chainlink fence measuring three meters in height topped with barbed wire which surrounds the lake's perimeter. Extra storm drains have been installed in the area surrounding SCP-3851 due to the lake's secondary anomalous effect. Description: SCP-3851 is a lake located in Palm Harbor, Florida, which displays two anomalous properties. The lake is known to have naturally formed due to excessive rainfall over the course of three months. A neighborhood (previously known as "Reign Springs") used to be located in SCP-3851's location prior to its gradual manifestation. SCP-3851's first anomalous property is that any and all living entities and manmade objects cannot submerge themselves in the body of water. If an entity or manmade object is to attempt to submerge themselves, they will be unable to pass SCP-3851's surface, appearing to stand atop the water. Due to this effect, it is unknown whether SCP-3851 has an ending point of depth. Deceased entities (which were living at any point) are able to breach SCP-3851's surface and will float or sink normally with their regular buoyancy. SCP-3851's secondary anomalous property is that, once every other day, a rainstorm lasting approximately ten minutes in duration occurs over the lake and the half-kilometer area surrounding SCP-3851.1 During the time of downpour, a visual hallucination will occur when a subject attempts to look at the lake. When a subject views the lake, they are able to broadly see the figure of multiple homes with an appearance similar to standard reflection. Despite looking like a reflection, no houses matching the appearance of the effect surround SCP-3851. Incident 3851-1: On 12 June, 2018, the corpse of an unidentified male child surfaced from SCP-3851. The corpse was swiftly recovered by local Foundation personnel and taken in for autopsy. Autopsy of the corpse revealed the child to be containing a small glass bottle with an enclosing cork within its chest cavity. The glass bottle contained a note. The contents of said note are as follows: To our Lord in Heaven, We have been beneath this body for three months now. We are running out of food, heat, and, ironically, water. We do not want to be beneath here much longer. We offer a sacrifice to you in hopes that the ocean above us clears up soon rather than crashes down upon us, crushing our homes. Please, Lord, hear our plea. Send your angels to save us from this state of Limbo, trapped between the body of water above us and the Earth beneath us. We are still here. Please, our Lord, do not forget about us. Surveillance of SCP-3851's surface is to be conducted with the intention to find objects similar to those discovered in Incident 3851-1. Footnotes 1. This property was originally thought to be a coincidence, but due to the repeated pattern of being bidaily, it was considered an anomalous property. |
SCP-3852 | keter | Location of first known occurrence of SCP-3852 (Name redacted intentionally). Item #: SCP-3852 Special Containment Procedures: Emergency Service calls are to be tracked and scanned for keywords by a Foundation operated bot. Upon confirmation of a SCP-3852 event, MTF Epsilon-6 "Village Idiots" are to be deployed to subdue all members of the affected community and terminate the active SCP-3852-2 instance. Any non-Foundation emergency personnel are to be recalled in order to prevent contact with affected community. Members of the affected community are to be subdued and contained only following the termination of the active SCP-3852-2 instance by MTF Epsilon-6. Members of the affected community under Foundation custody are to be contained in a standard holding cell at Site-11. Members of the affected community are to be questioned, amneticized, and released at discretion of the Site Director. Recovered SCP-3852-1 instances are to be preserved in standard biological storage units at Site-11. Description: SCP-3852 is a repeated phenomenon affecting rural towns and populations within the East Coast and Midwest of the contiguous United States. SCP-3852 has not been observed to manifest in any community with more than two-thousand permanent residents. As of 2013, seventeen SCP-3852 events have been confirmed since 1978. SCP-3852-1 refers to a set of adult, male corpses. All instances of SCP-3852-1 are genetically and physically identical. All instances of SCP-3852-1 have no signs of internal or external injuries, and autopsies conducted by Foundation personnel have been unable to determine a cause of death. Investigation into the identity of SCP-3852-1 instances is ongoing. During an SCP-3852 event, an instance of SCP-3852-1 will spontaneously appear within the vicinity of the affected town. Upon discovery of the SCP-3852-1 instance, all members of the affected community will identify the body as a specific male of the community (hereby designated SCP-3852-2). The SCP-3852-2 instance will remain unaffected by the SCP-3852 phenomena, but will not be recognized by the rest of the affected community. Instead, the SCP-3852-2 instance will be regarded as a newly arrived outsider. There is no apparent pattern to how the identity of SCP-3852-1 is chosen It is presently hypothesized that the SCP-3852-1 instance will be identified as a member of the affected community previously accused and subsequently acquitted of repeated or severe crimes1. Within 2-5 hours of the beginning of an SCP-3852 event, members of the affected community will begin to accuse SCP-3852-2 instance of crimes leading to or directly causing the death of the SCP-3852-1 instance. In ██% of SCP-3852 events, 11-27% of the affected community refute the accusations leveled against the SCP-3852-2 instance. Any dissenting members of the community will be accused of obstructing justice. The affected community will attempt to apprehend and summarily execute any and all of the accused, prioritizing the SCP-3852-2 instance. The affected community will only cease attempts to apprehend the SCP-3852-2 instance upon its capture or death. Upon successful execution of the SCP-3852-2 instance, the affected community will return to normal behavior. Community members have displayed no symptoms of long term psychological effects prior to or following amnestization, but have given inconsistent accounts of SCP-3852 events. Excerpts from Event Log-16A2M Event: EV-3852-07F3T Location: █████, IN Date: 03/01/1978 Affected Population: 368 Overview: First known occurrence of SCP-3852. SCP-3852-1 instance is discovered in the town square shortly after sunrise. Identified by the affected community as 28 year-old Glenn ██████, an unemployed man. SCP-3852-2 instance is captured after failing to cross a nearby river, and is hanged by the affected community. SCP-3852-1 instance recovered by Foundation personnel. Members of affected community questioned, amnesticized, and released. Event: EV-3852-15C1K Location: ██████, OH Date: 02/05/1996 Affected Population: 572 SCP-3852-1 instance is discovered in a school yard. Identified by the affected community as 31 year-old Hector ████, a former factory worker paralyzed from the waist down in an accident 5 years prior. Roughly 23% of the affected community reject the accusations against the SCP-3852-2 instance. Dissenting members and the SCP-3852-2 instance seek shelter within a nearby abandoned barn. Roughly two hours later, SCP-3852 event is confirmed and MTF Epsilon-6 deployed. SCP-3852-1 instance located and recovered by MTF Epsilon-6. As of 2015, 96% of the remaining members of the affected community have successfully been released and redistributed. Interview Log-22M7B Subject: Matthew Escot, age 52, a member of the affected community. Interviewer: Dr. Kieger Foreword: Interview took place 2 weeks following SCP-3852 event EV-3852-15C1K. <Begin Log, 14:30, 2/19/1996> KIEGER: Good afternoon Mr. Escot, I appreciate your cooperation. With any luck, things will be back to normal soon enough. ESCOT: Soon? It's been two weeks since you scooped us up and I haven't even seen my wife yet! You didn't even bother to tell us where or what this place is! KIEGER: All in due time, I assure you, Mr. Escot. The sooner you answer our questions the sooner we can answer yours. ESCOT: (subject sighs) Right, get on with it then. KIEGER: Well I'd like to know a little bit more about the uh…victim. Could you describe him for me? ESCOT: Hector? Kinda brutish, big fellow. You uh…probably already know this, but he was paralyzed a few years back in an accident. He killed some other poor bastard too, and from what we all could tell, it was Hector's fault. KIEGER: Was Hector well known prior to the accident? ESCOT: Well everyone basically knows everyone around ██████, small town and all that. Besides, Hector was never exactly the ideal neighbor, if you catch my drift. He made standoffish a lifestyle. And if people didn't like 'em before, they basically hated him after he got off the negligence charges scot-free. (subject pauses) T-Thinking back, we were probably a bit rough on him, but…Accident or not, two healthy men for a cripple isn't the most ideal trade. KIEGER: How did you react when you saw the body, Mr. Escot? ESCOT: I was…well, stunned, really. Couldn't make heads or tails of it. Hector was one of those people you thought was gonna live forever. Then, he just turns up not only dead, but murdered. KIEGER: So you're certain the body was Hector's? ESCOT: Sure as anything. I mean, he wasn't someone who could easily blend into a crowd. KIEGER: And you're also certain he was murdered? Is it possible Hector died of natu- ESCOT: Doc, please y-you…must've saw the body too. There was nothing natural about it. KIEGER: You said someone arrived shortly after you found the body? ESCOT: Yeah, just a few minutes after most of us had gathered. He was…well he wasn't really answering our questions right, a-and then he uh…Well his wife showed up. Hector's, I mean. KIEGER: How did Hector's wife react to seeing the body? ESCOT: (subject sighs) She was in hysterics, doc. God, I don't know what she saw in him that the rest of us didn't but…T-That newcomer came up to her and was tryin' to talk to her but she was just screaming and sobbing, and…that's when things turned sour. KIEGER: About this newcomer, did you happen to notice that he was paralyzed as well? Don't you think that's rather coincidental? ESCOT: (subject sighs) Doc, I'm not a genius, okay? To be honest, I don't know why you chose to speak to me, cause I wasn't the ringleader or anything. It goes the same way right? One person pointing fingers at someone doesn't mean much, but…after she accused him people started looking at it from a different angle. And, well, I figured they all knew a few things I didn't. KIEGER: Not everyone agreed though, isn't that correct? ESCOT: (subject pauses, before nodding) KIEGER: Did you know any of the dissenters personally? ESCOT: Ah, no, y-you can't expect me to know everyone, it's a big place. No, I figure most of 'em were loners and stuff, we barely recognized 'em. (subject pauses for a moment) Well…any of them, really, now that I think about it. KIEGER: What happened after they went into the barn? ESCOT: (subject shifts uncomfortably) Well we uh, figured we better get him out of there fast. So that's why we must've…uh… KIEGER: I see, Mr. Escot. Did you and the rest of the community intend to kill the accused murderer and the others by doing so? ESCOT: (subject remains silent) KIEGER: Thank you Mr. Escot, that will be all. This concludes the interview. <End Log, 14:52> Addendum-05/22/2016: On 05/15/2016, a eight-minute video entitled "2/5/96 ██████" was uploaded to YouTube. The video was discovered by a Foundation webcrawler, and was taken down roughly 2 hours after upload. An investigation into the identity of the cameraman is ongoing. A transcript of the video is available below. + Video Transcript-15C1K [LEVEL 4 ACCESS] - ACCESS GRANTED Video Transcript-15C1K <Begin Transcript> [00:01] (Video begins, a crowd is seen deliberating on a gravel road) [00:23] (The cameraman breaks through the crowd.

SCP-3853 | thaumiel | 4/3853 LEVEL 4/3853 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-3853 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3853A is currently uncontained (see Addendum 3853-1). The Foundation is in a state of war with GoI-328 ("The Institute of Imperial Studies"); recovery of Foundation assets lost to GoI-328 is a top priority. Containment procedures which do not rely on the effects of SCP-3853A are to be developed for all anomalies currently under the control of GoI-328. Previous Special Containment Procedures - Out of Date as of 15 March 2018 Hide Previous Containment Procedures SCP-3853A is currently contained as the Directorship of the Institute for Imperial Studies, a sovereign political entity operating as an independent division of the Foundation under the supervision of the O5 Council; all anomalies contained by the effects of SCP-3853A are kept under IIS supervision. The current instance SCP-3853A-1 is the Director of the Institute; as of 8/19/2014, SCP-3853A-1 is Dr. Aleksandr Filipov, formerly Director of Site-88 and head of the Anomalous Law & Politics Division. SCP-3853A-1’s successor should be selected by majority vote of the O5 council from all personnel with Level 4 clearance who have training or experience in law, political science, military command, and/or classical studies. Both SCP-3853A-1 and their successor have Level 5/IIS clearance, giving them unlimited access to all non-infohazardous information about the IIS, its personnel, and the anomalies it contains. The sovereign territory of the IIS consists of its headquarters, Site-101, located outside of Tunis, Tunisia, and a number of other facilities located throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. SCP-3853A-1 is not to be seen by or directly communicate with anyone except IIS staff and Foundation staff who have been informed of SCP-3853A’s effects. All of SCP-3853A-1’s written correspondence (including electronic correspondence such as emails and text messages) is to be dictated to or retyped by another individual prior to being sent. In the event that SCP-3853A-1 is seen by or communicates with an unauthorized person, that person is to be treated with Class-B amnestics; exemptions can be made for Foundation staff in good standing if this contact was accidental or was initiated by SCP-3853A-1. If SCP-3853A-1 deliberately breaches containment of SCP-3853A or is determined by the O5 Council to be otherwise unfit for continued service, MTF Psi-18 (“Sic Semper”) is to carry out an appropriate succession protocol1. Political movements attempting to recreate any of the nation-states previously associated with SCP-3853A2 or which use iconography associated with any of these nation states are to be closely monitored. MTF Pi-13 (“Goths, Vandals, and Other Delinquents”) is to prevent political movements matching these criteria from becoming the majority party in any nation-state and in any sub-national division with a population greater than one million; Pi-13 is authorized to use whatever methods they deem appropriate to accomplish this task, including blackmail, assassination, mass voter fraud, and, in extreme circumstances, memetic voter suppression and mass amnestic treatment. Hide Previous Containment Procedures SCP-3853B is currently contained as the Roman Catholic Papacy; anomalies whose containment relies on the effects of SCP-3853B are contained by the Pontifical Commission for the Suppression of the Supernatural, the main normalcy-preservation agency of the Catholic Church, in consultation with the Foundation. The Foundation is to support the continued existence of the Papacy, and should work with the Catholic Church to prevent any major schisms that could lead to an Avignon Event3. SCP-3853B-1 is the Roman Catholic Pope (currently Pope Francis, birth name Jorge Mario Bergoglio). All of SCP-3853B-1’s written correspondence is to unambiguously identify its source or be retyped by or dictated to another person. Description: SCP-3853 is the designation for two titles originally held by the emperors of the Roman Empire. SCP-3853A is the office of Emperor, originally head of state of the Roman Empire. SCP-3853A is always held by the ruler of a nation-state that holds territory within the borders of the Roman Empire at the death of Augustus Caesar; that ruler is designated SCP-3853A-1. As per containment procedures, SCP-3853A-1 is currently the Director of the Institute of Imperial Studies. Transfer of SCP-3853A usually follows the succession laws of the nation-state ruled by SCP-3853A-1. There are, however, a number of circumstances that can lead to a non-standard transfer of SCP-3853A, both within a nation-state and between nation-states. The primary cause of a non-standard transfer is disputed succession; if there are two or more claimants to the leadership of the nation-state ruled by SCP-3853A-1, the anomalous properties of SCP-3853A will manifest in each claimant at a reduced magnitude. Non-standard transfer can also occur when SCP-3853A-1 is deposed by an outside force4 or when the ruler of another nation-state with a stronger claim to the title is proclaimed Emperor of Rome by SCP-3853B-15. SCP-3853B is the office of Pontifex Maximus, originally the high priest of the polytheistic Roman state religion; from the 4th century onwards, this office has been held by the head of a branch of Christianity, usually either the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople or the Catholic Pope6. It is probable that SCP-3853B could be held by the widely-recognized head of any major religion with a substantial following in the former borders of the Roman Empire, although no non-Christian religious leader has held it since the adoption of Christianity as the state religion of the Roman empire. SCP-3853B-1 is the current holder of SCP-3853B; as per containment procedures, SCP-3853B-1 is currently the Catholic Pope. The criteria by which SCP-3853B is transferred are currently not well-studied, and maintaining orderly papal succession is a high priority. The primary effects of SCP-3853A and B are cognitive in nature. The holders of the affected titles will be recognized in-person as the holders of those titles, even if the observers would be otherwise ignorant of the titles or the individuals; that is, when someone perceives SCP-3853A-1, they immediately recognize that person as Emperor of Rome. This effect is not transmitted through photography or recorded video, although it can be transmitted via live video with a delay of less than 20 seconds and both live and recorded audio, and via direct written or typed communication (including email, text messaging, and other digital communication). When SCP-3853A-1 or B-1 gives a direct order to a subordinate—either in person or in writing—that order is more likely to be followed. Under experimental conditions, individuals obeying the direct orders of SCP-3853A-1 or B-1 complete those tasks significantly faster and more accurately than a control group, and make significantly fewer errors. These effects are extended to all military forces under the command—direct or indirect—of SCP-3853A-1; when placed under the jurisdiction of the IIS, Mobile Task Forces showed a marked improvement in cooperation and tactical skill, and were physically faster, stronger and more agile. It is now believed that SCP-3853A exerts cognitive influence on SCP-3853A-1. While the precise effects have not been rigorously studied, observation of the current instance of SCP-3853A-1, Director Aleksandr Filipov, indicates that a preexisting tendency toward megalomania and an obsession with the ancient world were both exaggerated heavily by exposure to SCP-3853A (see Addendum 3853-1). While this effect has not been so dramatic in any previous IIS Director, close study of the correspondence and decision-making of past Directors indicates that this is not a new phenomenon. The secondary effects of SCP-3853A and B manifest in their interactions with other anomalous objects and entities encountered and used or contained by previous holders of the SCP-3853 titles. Beginning with the Superintendency of Secrets and Praetorian Office of Hidden Wisdom, founded under the Roman emperor Augustus, SCP-3853A and B have been used as the basis of thaumaturgically, theurgically, and legally-binding contracts and rituals to contain or limit the powers of anomalous entities, or bind those entities into the service of the holder(s) of the SCP-3853 titles. A number of SCP objects currently contained by the Foundation have been placed under the jurisdiction of the IIS in order to use these pre-existing bindings for the purpose of containment; this containment scheme has been highly successful and is ongoing is under reevaluation after the defection of GoI-328 from the Foundation. The Foundation established containment of SCP-3853A in 1945. After the defeat of its former holder7 by the Allied Powers in World War Two, SCP-3853A was briefly transferred to the President of the United States, Harry S. Truman8; as per a previous agreement with the Foundation, President Truman abdicated the office of Emperor in favor of the Director of the newly-founded Institute of Imperial Studies, Dr. Charles Pépin. SCP-3853 is believed to have been created by Augustus Caesar, generally recognized as the first emperor of the Roman Empire; while the precise method of its creation is not known, a section of Augustus' autobiography, the Res Gestae (reproduced below), indicates that some sort of thaumaturgical ritual involving the sacrifice of Augustus' body to his own spirit—the genius Augusti, an object of religious devotion under the Roman empire—was integral to the anomaly's creation. Recovered Document: Res Gestae Divi Augusti Paragraphs 39-43 The final paragraphs of the funerary inscription of Augustus Caesar, first emperor of Rome. Paragraphs 36-43 of the Res Gestae refer to anomalous events and individuals considered state secrets by the Roman Empire and were not included on publicly-available copies of the Res Gestae; the only remaining original copy, a plaque on the interior of the Imperial Mausoleum, is currently stored in the Vatican Archives. Show Document Hide Document And after I established the Superintendency of Secrets and the Praetorian Office of Hidden Wisdom, I saw that the Republic needed a caretaker such as myself in perpetuity, and that the people would always need a Pontifex Maximus to intercede with the gods and maintain the sacred rituals. And so I went to the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi, and I asked the Pythia how I might accomplish this; and I was told "seek the wisest"9. The Greeks are always considered the wisest of Rome's conquests, so first I went to the the Greek philosophers, the Stoics and the Pythagoreans and the Platonists; and they told me that no kingdom can last forever, and I dismissed them. I went to those rumored even wiser, the Mechanists of the Sicilian cities; and they told me to build a city of bronze and iron over the city I had already clad in marble, and I dismissed them as well. And then I sought the hidden mysteries, the Greek cults of Orpheus and Eleusis and Dionysus and Trophonius and the Five-Named One; and these all spoke of an eternal life after death, but I sought eternal rule in life. So I turned away from the Greeks to the other conquered peoples under Rome. The rabbis of Judaea, and the priests of Egypt, and the Persian Magi claimed that I should renounce the Olympians and follow each of their gods in turn, and I scorned their advice. The Thracian seers, who claim descent from fallen Adium, and the Scythian sorceresses with their Daevian magic, and the man-burning Druids of the Gauls and Britons all told me of rituals contrary to the ancient customs of the Romans and hateful in the eyes of the gods; and I had them put to death for their crimes against man and god. And even the priests of Rome, and the augurs and haruspices who have forever guided our Republic before were of no help; and I returned to my home, and contemplated my failure. But as I sat in thought, the words of the Oracle to Socrates came to me, "you are the wisest"; and just as Socrates knew that he knew nothing, so I understood the same. And I turned to myself, and asked how I, having repaired the Republic and extended its reach further than ever before, could ensure its survival for all eternity, and I saw in myself the answer. And so I decided to make a final sacrifice, of myself and to myself, the body of Gaius Octavius10 offered before the spirit of Caesar Augustus so that I might rule forever through my heirs. And I wrote this, to be placed in my tomb, and I commanded my wife to make a poison, quick-acting and painless; and now I go to my death, knowing that the Roman people will never be without wise guidance and firm rule. Addendum 3853-1: Incident 3853-AUGUSTUS On 14 March 2018, the O5 council voted 11 for, 1 against, 1 abstaining to initiate succession protocol Ψ-18-CALIGULA (forcible deposition of the Director of the IIS via assassination); the SDECotW ratified this decision later that same day. Orders were transmitted to the commander of MTF Psi-18; the commander's response indicated loyalty to SCP-3853A-1 (Director Filipov) over the Foundation. Within one hour, all IIS facilities cut off contact with the main Foundation communications network and SCP-3853A-1 declared the independence of the IIS from the Foundation. SCP-3853A is now uncontained, and the Foundation is in a state of war with the IIS (now designated GoI-328). All anomalies under the control of the IIS are to be considered uncontained until they are recovered by the Foundation; the development of containment procedures for these anomalies that do not rely on the effects of SCP-3853A is a high priority. For further information on Incident 3853-AUGUSTUS, see Document 3853-9. Footnotes 1. For further information, consult Task Force Protocols Ψ-18-DIOCLETIAN, Ψ-18-NAPOLEON, and Ψ-18-CALIGULA. 2. Especially the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Holy Roman Empire, and Ottoman Empire; for a full list of these nation-states consult Document 3853A-12. 3. A loss of containment of anomalies associated with SCP-3853B as a result of a sufficiently legitimate or widely accepted competing claim to the Papacy. 4. e.g. when the Ottoman sultan Mehmed the Conquerer became “Kayser-i Rum“, “Caesar of Rome”, after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople 5. e.g. when Charlemagne was named Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III, taking the title from the Empress of the Byzantine Empire, Irene of Athens 6. SCP-3853B was briefly held by King Henry VIII of England in his role as head of the Church of England, but on his death reverted to its prior association with the Papacy. 7. Benito Mussolini, formerly Prime Minister of Italy. 8. While most of the territory of the United States is outside the borders of the Roman Empire, the presence of military bases, embassies, and Italian and German territory under de facto American control was sufficient for SCP-3853A to be transferred to President Truman. 9. This quote is in Greek in the original text, rather than in Latin; it is assumed to be a direct quote from the Oracle. 10. Augustus' birth name, used before his adoption by Julius Caesar. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3853" by ch00bakka, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3854 | safe | SCP-3854 at recovery site, propped up by Foundation-supplied support strut. Item #: SCP-3854 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3854 is to be kept in a freshwater containment tank in Site-36. SCP-3854 requires no active maintenance, but a wood restoration specialist is to be kept on-site to perform monthly check-ups on the subject. Personnel that interact with SCP-3854 are to be fluent in Hebrew. As per Anomalous Sapient Entity protocol, SCP-3854 is to undergo a weekly psychiatric evaluation. Description: SCP-3854 is a semi-animate, sapient wooden construct superficially resembling a whale. SCP-3854's external dimensions measure 1.1 m x 3.2 m x 1.2 m, while its internal dimensions (designated SCP-3854-A) measure an approximate 500 square meters. SCP-3854 is cognizant, being able to communicate in Biblical Hebrew, Old Aramaic, and High Enochian1. The subject purports to be the aquatic animal that once detained the biblical prophet Jonah, a claim consistent with Assyrian tomes (620-612 BC) from the Horizon Initiative's universal texts. SCP-3854 was recovered washed up on a beach near Tel Aviv, Jerusalem. The phrase "Scrivener Associates" is painted onto the side of SCP-3854 in plain English. SCP-3854-A functions as a self-contained thaumaturge confinement chamber comprised of contiguous layers of Ziziphus spina-christi2. The teeth, fins, vertebrae frame, and eyes of SCP-3854 were manufactured by timber derived from a ~2620-year-old ziziphus tree located on the outskirts of Jerusalem. SCP-3854-A-1 is the gastrointestinal domicile that composes the main space of SCP-3854-A, accessible from SCP-3854's mouth. Its construction matches that of modern, Western European synagogues, with the following deviations: An abundance of Persian rugs. Walls made of ziziphus bark. Whalebone archways in the place of doors. A ceiling made entirely of whale blubber. Two portholes corresponding to SCP-3854's eyes, which emit sunlight regardless of time of day. A theater stage in the place of an altar. Several Eye of Providence images trained on said theater stage A series of clay tablets detailing several morality plays (see addenda) SCP-3854-A-2 is a postchamber accessible from a doorway at the back of SCP-3854-A-1's theater stage. The room's construction is notably more organic than SCP-3854-A-1, with the walls and ceiling being formed of human epithelial tissue. The floor is made of petrified wood, with select, illuminated spots engraved with Biblical scenes of destruction. The only source of light in SCP-3854-A-2 is SCP-3854-B. SCP-3854-B is the collective designation for 40 enlarged uteri on the far wall of SCP-3854-A-2. The SCP-3854-B are semi-transparent, and backlit by an orange light of indeterminate source. Each instance, except SCP-3854-B-36, contains an apparent3 human zygote. SCP-3854-B-36 is empty, with a visible tear indicating violent struggle from its former contents. Addendum: The following is a translated4 excerpt of stone tablets found within SCP-3854-A-1. The tablets were primarily written in High Enochian, with portions, such as Jonah's lines, written in Proto-Sinaitic5.

Candlelight blows out too soon and JONAH must settle with an uneasy rest on the matted floor. He has just fled the only home he has ever known. Meanwhile, atop the deck, a storm occurs. Roaring waves bombard the ship. Scared, some SAILORS begin throwing cargo off board while others pray to their heretical Gods. The CAPTAIN hammers JONAH's door. Characters: CAPTAIN, SAILORs, The VOICE OF THE LORD, and JONAH. CAPTAIN: How can you sleep? Get up! Get up! JONAH: Huh, what? CAPTAIN: You can sleep later if there is one. Have you not heard the thunderstorms in the sky? JONAH: Yes, I have heard of the thunderstorms in the sky. From you. Just now. CAPTAIN: Dear Abzu, Lord of the primeval seas, save me from this fool. [Cue derelict wood prop falling beside Jonah] CAPTAIN: Close enough, Abzu. Now, hurry Jonah, to the deck. We need more hands to throw out the cargo. [Cue to Jonah feigning tiredness] JONAH: If we're going to die anyway, I'd rather do it from the comfiness of a haystack. Come here haystack, yes, be my companion for tonight. [Cue to Jonah fawning over a vaguely feminine hay pillow. STAGHORN-WINGS pulls Jonah up the stairs and through the doorways.] pg-III CAPTAIN: How goes it? [Cue to LANCED-MOUTHS shoveling cargo off the ship setpiece.] SAILOR #1: Grim, we just shoved off two sacks of gold, three barrels of rum, and five men named Steve6 into the water. The ship won't budge. CAPTAIN: [It yells] Helmsman, how goes it? [LANCED-MOUTHS falls to the ground, crying and pleading, clutching the false idols hanging around its second neck] SAILOR #2: Oh Anu, here my cry! Damnit. Oh Enki, I beseech thee, quell this storm! Damnit. Oh Marduk, please tell me you're not a fluke. [Cue cymbals banging, spotlight flash. LANCED-MOUTHS shrugs two shoulders and throws out its false idols.] SAILOR #2: Oh well. That's all of them, Captain. CAPTAIN: Damned, Jonah, you better have a God for us, lest we confuse you for cargo like we did Steve. [Cue to STAGHORN-WINGS making a threatening gesture. Lightning bolt at the top of the mast deployed. Red streamers pop out of the mast, ropes, and sails.] JONAH: Hey Jehovah, cut that out. No means no, and I'm not returning your calls just so I can take a "paid" vacation to some foreign country called Nineveh with all manner of molestation and sin. They can rot in a valley. VOICE OF THE LORD: Alright, you know what? No more mister nice-and-benevolent. Convert to me, all of you, then throw Jonah into the big fish. [Cue to a big fish parking next to the ship. LANCED-MOUTHS and STAGHORN-WINGS haul Jonah from where he stands and flings him overboard. They begin praying and singing hymns to the Lord] JONAH: I hate you all! [Cue to the clouds, storms, and sea pieces receding, fog machine turned off. A sunshine setpiece overhead.] pg-IV ACT I Scene 2: Nautical Nightmare! SETTING: Pink-red walls pulsate around Jonah as he wakes up. His hand burns from accidentally touching acidic liquids that surround the small amount of land underneath him, made of small kidney stones and hardened barnacle. A bizarre emissary unto the Lord — fluttering countless wings, spinning screaming wheels — levitates above him. Dishes made of whale meat are prepared for him. Characters: The VOICE OF THE LORD and JONAH. JONAH: Ahh, my head. Wait, where am I? What is this place? [Cue to voice emanating out of the emissary] VOICE OF THE LORD: You are inside of a servant of mine. JONAH: Well I'm staying here. I won't go to Nineveh, nothing you can do or say will make me change my mind on the matter. VOICE OF THE LORD: Now Jonah, why do you think it always has to be about sodomites, thieves, and erroneous beliefs. Sometimes, God gets lonely. JONAH: You kept burning all the bushes when I was awake commanding me to go to Nineveh. And when I was asleep, you kept yelling about it from a dream cloud. VOICE OF THE LORD: Look we might've got off on the— Hey wait a minute, I'm the Lord your God, I don't have to take this from you. Do your job or I sink you in whale acid. JONAH: But it's a big fish? VOICE OF THE LORD: That's not how your descendants will remember it if you live that long. JONAH: Alright, alright. O, Lord, slow to anger, fury and all manner of retribution. Your pity hath shaped me, the beast that serves you and humbles me in digestive fluids. Sinners and sodomites shall learn that you forgive iniquity and transgression and sin. I am cured! VOICE OF THE LORD: The Lord, God will by no means absolve the guilty, but by gracious mercy and primordial seas, the Lord shall enter their hearth and wash them clean. You are dismissed, my child. Go to Nineveh unmolested. [The walls scrunch up and a sneeze is heard. Jonah is spat out of a blowhole.] {Continued in Appendix-3854} Addendum: On 12/19/1986, shortly after the initial exploration of SCP-3854-A, SCP-3854 regained consciousness. Lead researcher Chasin subsequently conducted a field interview with SCP-3854: 3854 Interview 3854 Interview Interviewer: Dr. Chasin Interviewee: SCP-3854 Foreword: The subject has a drawn out manner of speaking. Pauses have been edited out of this transcript for legibility purposes. Phrases in italic are translated from Enochian. [SCP-3854 begins stirring, producing unknown vocalizations] [Assistant Researcher James turns on audio recorder he had on hand] Dr. Chasin: -ou can speak? [Whale song, wood creaking] SCP-3854: Yes. [Dr. Chasin turns to Researcher James, ascertains that he is recording, returns to facing SCP-3854] Dr. Chasin: Is there any name you prefer to go by? SCP-3854: None. Dr. Chasin: None? Well, can you tell me who you are? SCP-3854: Flotsam. [Dr. Chasin is taken aback by the Enochian] Dr. Chasin: What, is it that you just said? SCP-3854: Debris. Holy garbage. Dr. Chasin: If you're… garbage, well then you must have been something before you were garbage. [High-pitched hum from SCP-3854] SCP-3854: A tool of the Lord. I was Jonah's fish. [Dr. Chasin struggles to come up with a response] [Researcher James pantomimes Dr. Chasin to discuss SCP-3854-A] Dr. Chasin: Mouth? Mouth! Err, can you tell us about the contents of your… stomach? SCP-3854: Part of the lesson. Dr. Chasin: Lesson? What kind of… lesson? SCP-3854: We all have roles. Jonah had to rehearse for his. My role was to help him rehearse. And to study. And to pray. Dr. Chasin: But what about the cave? SCP-3854: Cave? Dr. Chasin: The cave with the embryos. SCP-3854: Oh. SCP-3854: Those are angels. Dr. Chasin: What? SCP-3854: Angels. Angels carry messages. Symbols are strong messages. Embryos. the unborn of Nineveh. A symbol of innocence that's at stake. Dr. Chasin: Are these angels… also debris? [Low droning sound] SCP-3854: No. Angels are not as disposable as me. Different sense of time. They are where they are meant to be. Waiting for their next duty. Dr. Chasin: Then the womb that was torn open, would that be an escaped angel? Some kind of Christian demon? SCP-3854: No. Don't be absurd. That was Jonah. Dr. Chasin: …You gave birth to Jonah? SCP-3854: I nursed him. I had to do it after he failed all his lessons. The study. The self-reflection. And the sixty-seven shows he put on did not do any good for him. SCP-3854: So I took him into myself. [Dr. Chasin grimaces] Dr. Chasin: Was it painful? SCP-3854: He thrashed. Tried to not get pulled in. But he succumbed to the slumber. The dreams and the visions he saw eventually worked. Dr. Chasin: What did he see? SCP-3854: I don't know. Time was different for him than for me or even the angels. To me. He slept through the third night peacefully. To him. He must have gone through an age in there, tempered. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3855 | euclid | NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION The following document has not been revised since 13 Jan 1940. As such, it has been labeled archived by Foundation Records and Information Security. Information contained here may be significantly outdated. Entrance to SCP-3855 in 1929 (right). Item #: SCP-3855 (ARCHIVED) Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3855 is currently under Foundation control, and has been repurposed as a safehouse for local New York agents. Former patrons of The Secret Spirit have been issued amnesiacs[sic] - RAISA and remaining members of the Chicago Spirit associated with the bar have been apprehended. A guard detail is currently posted near the exterior entrance to prevent unauthorized access. Under no circumstances are non-Foundation personnel to be informed of the existence of SCP-3855 or its activation phrase. Description: SCP-3855 is a two-story building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side in New York City. From 1921 to 1930, SCP-3855 was a speakeasy run by the Chicago Spirit, an anomalous crime organization active throughout the early 20th century. Known as "The Secret Spirit", its owners served imported liquor and wine to well-connected members of American organized crime, including those who also dealt in anomalous artifacts. Much like the organization's original eponymous Chicago bar, The Secret Spirit also had a second floor that was used to sell anomalies to its patrons. SCP-3855 represents the first known usage of "anti-memes"[sic] - RAISA in the civilian sphere: specifically, the name, location, and purpose of SCP-3855 cannot be recalled without hearing or reading the trigger phrase "I heard about Chappell's Manhattan point." Absent this trigger, memories related to SCP-3855 will be made inaccessible, and persons visiting it will be unable to recall their location during the time spent there. Recordings and photographs of SCP-3855 can be made, but memory of their contents will also be lost without the trigger. History: SCP-3855 was opened as The Secret Spirit in February 1921 at the instruction of Chicago Spirit leader Richard D. Chappell, representing the crime syndicate's first expansion into speakeasy management in the New York area. Wanting to avoid the attention of both law enforcement and rival organizations, Chappell gave SCP-3855 its anomalous properties via unknown means. The anti-meme capabilities of SCP-3855 were not replicated by any other known Spirit establishment, although records may be incomplete due to the inherent information redacting properties possibly associated with said establishments. Unlike speakeasies run by Chappell's organization in the Chicago area, The Secret Spirit was selective with its clientele and carefully screened all customers before giving them knowledge of the trigger phrase. During the initial opening phase, it was debated whether or not to open the first floor of the speakeasy to regular patrons, but this was ultimately deemed impractical. Owing to its anomalous properties, both the Foundation and the New York City Police Department were unable to learn of the existence of or locate SCP-3855. Although the owners wished to expand the business and the anti-meme properties of it to other parts of Manhattan, Chappell vetoed the idea, writing in a 1927 letter recovered after his capture: I didn't get as far as I did in the business by entertaining every damn fool idea someone brings up to me. I got here by being careful. If we fill New York with speakeasies nobody can remember, people are going to start noticing they can't figure out where they were every weekend night. We've got a golden goose, and just because the goose isn't studded with diamonds doesn't mean we need to go rob a jewellry store. Discovery: On November 23, 1930, Secret Spirit co-owner Albert Jones was arrested by the NYPD on burglary charges after his ex-wife reported that he had attempted to break into her Brooklyn apartment. After his Chicago Spirit affiliation was confirmed by police, prosecutors offered him a reduced sentence on his burglary charge and immunity from any charges related to other criminal activities he was involved in in exchange for knowledge of the Spirit's New York activities. Jones accepted, and soon after revealed the existence of The Secret Spirit. Once SCP-3855's anomalous nature and trigger phrase became known to police, Foundation agents embedded in the NYPD informed their superiors of the anomaly and the latter began formulating plans for a raid on The Secret Spirit. File photograph of Albert Jones (1895-c. 1932) SCP-3855 was acquired by the Foundation on Christmas Day, 1930, when the speakeasy was raided and shut down after a tip from Jones that Richard Chappell would be present in it for Christmas celebrations. For uncertain reasons, Chappell learned of the raid ahead of time and returned to Chicago the previous day. After a thorough scan by medical personnel determined that SCP-2680 was not being manufactured at the location, SCP-3855 was repurposed as a safehouse and remains under Foundation control. Albert Jones was relocated to Maine by US federal authorities as part of a protective custody program, and lived in Bangor until October 27, 1932, when he disappeared while walking home from his job at a local grocery store. His hat and jacket were found approximately one kilometer from the store and there was no physical evidence of a struggle, nor any reports of another person following him by eyewitnesses. A note was found in the jacket pocket which read "Nice try. You can't hide, snitch." No records of Jones' fate were found following the 1933 shutdown of the Chicago Spirit, though he is presumed deceased at this time. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3855" by ObserverSeptember, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3856 | keter | close Info X SCP-3856: Researcher Lloyd, Destroyer of Worlds Author: MaliceAforethought Image Credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FBI_Laboratory_scientist.jpg Related Tales: The World Forgetting, By The World Forgot Error: Field Cannot Be Lloyd More by this author File photo of Researcher Lloyd, taken approximately 3 hours prior to an NK-Class ("Grey Goo") scenario Item #: SCP-3856 Threat Level: Black ● Special Containment Procedures: Baseline Researcher Lloyd (SCP-3856-1) is to be housed in a self-sufficient maximum security bunker, restrained to avoid any potential acts of self-harm, and shielded from any possible detrimental influences. The death of SCP-3856 must be prevented at all costs, and any personnel acting in a way that may kill, maim, or otherwise damage SCP-3856-1 will be summarily terminated — note that attempting to gain access to SCP-3856-1's chamber without authorisation is considered an act of potential harm, and will be handled as such. As SCP-3856-1 has already been treated with all low-risk life-extending techniques currently available to the Foundation, no further efforts to extend SCP-3856-1's natural life are to be attempted without unanimous Level-5 approval. Should the probability of SCP-3856-1's imminent death rise above .01 at any time, the instance is to be immediately ejected to the nearest inhabited universe. The handling of any non-native iterations of Researcher Lloyd will be undertaken on a case-by-case basis by staff with Level-4/3856 clearance or higher. Description: SCP-3856 is a probabilistic anomaly affecting all iterations of Foundation Researcher Samuel Lloyd across all known variants of the Foundation, in all known life-supporting universes. There is currently no known way to subvert, permanently delay, or otherwise prevent the effects of SCP-3856, though research is ongoing. Cross-testing with other anomalies known to manipulate chance has yielded a null result in all cases, suggesting SCP-3856 manifests as an intrinsic property of the metaphysical nature of Researcher Lloyd1. The full range of SCP-3856's effects are not known, but the primary element appears to be the fact that any iteration of Researcher Lloyd will inevitably2 cease brain activity only following the elimination of every other extant human3 from the universe in which they currently reside. In circumstances where Researcher Lloyd would ordinarily be killed before this event, SCP-3856 appears to have the secondary effect of hastening a large-scale K-Class End-of-the-world scenario. While this event is invariably caused by external forces, and is frequently predicted or registered long before the initial recognition of SCP-3856, attempts to prevent it have thus far met with failure in all cases. Observation of terminated universes containing an iteration of Researcher Lloyd reveals that the severity of the apocalyptic event caused by SCP-3856 is inversely proportional to the number of sapient individuals residing within the affected universe. To clarify: while a human population of several billion will result only in the worldwide extermination of said humans, the death of Researcher Lloyd within an uninhabited or sparsely populated universe risks a high-level Yggdrasil Severance Event, and the subsequent collapse of adjacent dimensional regions. SCP-3856 has led, indirectly, to the establishment of communications with a growing network of Foundation-positive universes, with the shared goal of minimising SCP-3856-related casualties. Despite the formation of a semi-informal regulatory body, no consensus has yet been made. Addendum.1: Event 3856-Alpha: On ██/██/████, despite agreed-upon travel protocols, a single instance of Researcher Lloyd manifested within Site-54, equipped with standard Foundation provisions and equipment (circa 1880 AD). The entity was later determined to have originated from U-4046Y, and had been relocated via Ectodimensional Way Generation by SCP Foundation-4046Y. SCPF-4046Y refused to communicate with baseline Foundation personnel following this incident, and subsequent investigations revealed that the probability of their instance dying from natural causes had been steadily increasing for some months previously. The instance (designated SCP-3856-4046Y for clarity) was taken into custody and treated with standard life-extending techniques. A more permanent method of processing is currently in development. The following message was found attached to the instance upon manifestation: WE ARE SORRY TO BURDEN YOU AT THIS TIME. WE CANNOT RISK FURTHER DETRIMENT TO OUR CITIZENS. WE ARE SURE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR RETALIATION FROM HOSTILE SOURCES WE WILL BE CLOSING DOWN ALL EXTERNAL TRANSFER CHANNELS. ALL EXISTING TRADE ROUTES WILL BE TERMINATED WE APOLOGISE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED ~ The Sovereign of Carallas-Pralwright Addendum.2: Update ██/██/████: Following the manifestation of a further six instances of Researcher Lloyd, of which two were shown to exhibit life-threatening wounds, the decision has been taken to transfer three instances (SCP-3856-03B54, -193FF, and -73E2M) to low-volume Floater Universes accessible via SCP-████. This is expected to act as a temporary buffer until a more permanent solution can be devised. All other instances have been housed in maximum-security bunkers at undisclosed locations, with the exception of SCP-3856-0PD31, who went into cardiac arrest shortly after manifestation. They were cryonically frozen using experimental techniques shortly after this, and are expected to survive for another ███ months without medical intervention. Given U-B9PYB's attempt to conceal an instance of Researcher Lloyd in a scheduled shipment of precious metals, the decision has been made by the O5 Council to close all exo-universal trade routes. Talks with alternate Foundations are ongoing, but have been somewhat strained following the spontaneous collapse of Universes-03B54, V4L2K, OIO10, and 5FIVF. Exo-universal elections are due to be postponed until a practical solution to issue MU-3856-SCT-LLOYD can be found. Addendum.3: Log-3856-F: The following log is a severely abridged list of Researcher Lloyd instances currently known to the Foundation. Due to the situation's current rate of escalation, it is expected to undergo frequent changes. Instance designation(s) Summary Current Status SCP-3856-LPN4R Instance had apparently been converted to a mechanised form, inline with GoI-004B (The Cogwork Orthodox Church)'s "standardisation" process. Due to a lack of ordinary senescence, it is believed the instance will be capable of surviving near-indefinitely. The instance has since been terminated via the addition of an irregular logical construct into their system. Foul play is suspected, but unconfirmed. Extant Deceased SCP-3856-SMRC3 Resided for four years in what is either a nonexistent fictional construct or region of the Anatolian peninsula, depending on sources. Expired due to starvation following an abnormal resurgence of memetic phenomena and the deaths of 99.97% of the human population from cerebral haemorrhaging. Deceased SCP-3856-770R2 Instance was retroactively eliminated prior to their birth by their iteration of the Foundation, resulting in a successful negation of SCP-3856's effects. U-770R2 maintained societal stability until the year 8620, at which point the aforementioned Foundation adopted a policy of retrocausal containment, eliminating anomalies before they could appear. The device used to terminate SCP-3856-770R2 was removed during this process, and SCP-3856-770R2 was caused to have expired from radiation poisoning following global thermonuclear war. Deceased SCP-3856-FI7EN & -YUE4K Both instances fled their host-universes due to persecution from hostile anomalous organisations (in the case of -FI7EN) and a hostile Foundation-analogue (in the case of -YUE4K). Currently residing in a post-extinction iteration of Earth, and expected to survive together for up to 2 decades before expiring. Extant Unknown, presumed upward of 5000 instances from various sources. Instances were transferred en masse to U-01HF2, as an effort to reduce total casualties. Retaliation from U-01HF2's inhabitants saw a large portion of the instances dispersed among adjacent universes — seven were accidentally killed during this process, moments after the relevant universes experienced spontaneous vacuum decay. Majority deceased, estimated 98 instances still living Addendum.4: Update ██/██/████: Due to the low availability of Floater Universes, twelve of the forty-eight Researcher Lloyd instances currently in Foundation possession are to be shifted to the nearest available universes with low probability of undergoing K-Class Events. Apologies have been preemptively made to all involved parties. As a show of good faith, baseline Lloyd will be kept, with research into a consequence-free termination method as a Highest-Level priority. Although the actions taken are in violation of exo-universal regulations, the goal of maintaining veil protocols and preventing large-scale damage to humanity is currently considered more important. Due to the current parapolitical climate, the possible implementation of sanctions on baseline reality is considered unlikely at best. Addendum.5: Proposed update to documentation: Proposal Date: ██/██/████ Designation: REV-3856-000934-F Summary: "Addition to SCP-3856's Special Containment Procedures, in light of recent events." Current Status: PENDING APPROVAL In the event that any instance of Researcher Lloyd manifests within baseline reality, they are to be supplied with standard provisions, treated with low-risk life-extending techniques, and promptly ejected to the nearest available universe. Exo-universal officials have agreed to monitor these transfers, but have stated that they are not currently able to interfere in cross-dimensional affairs. Efforts to diplomatically resolve issue MU-3856-SCT-LLOYD are underway, but are hampered by Researcher Lloyd's position as High Juror on the Exo-Universal Council. Footnotes 1. Dependent on his existence as an individual, though not his continued employment by the Foundation. Removing Researcher Lloyd from his post as Foundation staff has thus far failed to avert the associated apocalyptic event. 2. 100% chance, no observed margin of error. 3. Defined as a non-anomalous instance of Homo sapiens, native to the relevant universe |
SCP-3857 | safe | SCP-3857 Item #: SCP-3857 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3857 should be kept in a standard storage locker in Site-73. Any personnel working with SCP-3857 are to be continually reminded that tropical rainforests, especially the Amazon rainforest, are hazardous, uncomfortable to traverse, and generally unpleasant to delve into. Commons areas, offices and cubicles, and cars belonging to personnel assigned to the project are to be covered in posters and stickers depicting the following themes; insect bites, attributed to insects found in the Amazon rainforest; weather reports concerning the Amazon rainforest, with humidity readings underlined, highlighted, or bolded; or maps of cell phone coverage, clearly showing that cell connection is impossible in the Amazon rainforest1. Personnel that show any signs of desire to explore the Amazon rainforest, purchase travel clothes or equipment from Abercrombie and Fitch, or reminisce about about the lost adventure of their childhoods for excessive amounts of time should be dosed with Class-A amnestics and transferred off project. Description: SCP-3857 is a black and white photograph depicting Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, dressed in Abercrombie and Fitch gear for a hunting expedition in front of an artist's depiction of an unidentified forest. The photograph, notably, appears to have been printed in ████, or ██ years after the former president's death. Subjects in the vicinity of SCP-3857 will begin to experience intrusive, recurring thoughts about the Amazon rainforest, and, regardless of previous thoughts on the matter, will begin to find the idea of exploration increasingly appealing. Many subjects will posit it as a means to return to their youth or childhood. If allowed to progress further, subjects will attempt to, by any reasonable means available to them, journey to the Amazon rainforest. Subjects will inevitably follow the path of Roosevelt's 1913 expedition along the Roosevelt River2. As most subjects are not prepared for the expedition, casualties are common. Most subjects are fairly easily dissuaded. Appeals to logical thinking, especially based on outlooks previously expressed by subjects, is generally enough to counter the effects of SCP-3857. Addendum 3857-1: Transcript of SCP-3857-influenced speech: Foreword: The following is a transcript of a speech made by an SCP-3857-affected personnel member to his colleagues. Despite having been under the influence of SCP-3857 for several months, the subject made a full recovery after treatment with amnestics. The amazon! The mother river! Oh, to be young again, to be gone from the confines of this civilized earth! To be free! Look at her here. [ Subject gestures at a black and white map, recently printed using company printers. Image is noted to be first result offered by ████.com's image search engine. ] The curves! The luscious terrain, the feminine beauty! Does she call you, how she calls me? Does she ask you to reclaim your boyhood and your manhood? I need a team. You, ██████, you will be our guide. You will use your savage roots, the inherent fire in your blood, the call of the wild, to lead use through the treacherous terrain! [ protests from ███ ██████ are heard by the subject ] Korean? What nonsense! ████. You will be our guard. You will defend us against threats from savages and wild animals, function as barrier between life and death, for only through proximity to death do we live! █████, my oldest friend. My brother, I might even say, my son. You will be my right hand man. In a land so removed from civilization, from humanity, you will be my spirit guide. [ long pause, during which most personnel return to their lunches] Oh, to live! Pass the salt, would you, ████?

SCP-3858 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3858 Special Containment Procedures: Until such a time where a permanent containment solution has been established, Foundation web crawlers have been set up to detect and remove links to SCP-3858 on publically-visible websites. SCP-3858-A instances created by civilians should be confiscated and incinerated, any .lmb files deleted from their computer and the civilian amnesticised. Description: SCP-3858 is an anomalous filesharing network named "Hugbox", formerly available at the URL "http://beararms.right.to" prior to Foundation intervention. The front page of SCP-3858's website advertises "end-to-end organic encryption": this is believed to refer to the primary anomalous property of SCP-3858, where it converts all files submitted by the user into an anomalous format with extension ".lmb". At the time of writing, only one application known to the Foundation is capable of viewing .lmb files: namely the web-based client for SCP-3858 itself. Attempting to open .lmb files with any other application results in the secondary anomalous effect of SCP-3858 manifesting: namely, the creation of multiple objects resembling human arms (designated SCP-3858-A) in the immediate vicinity of the user. The quantity of SCP-3858-A instances manifested is proportional to the .lmb file's size. SCP-3858-A instances consist of a plastic "skeleton" articulated in a way similar to an actual human arm, covered with human epidermal tissue at a thickness of 5 centimeters. They experience a large force of attraction towards the user that opened the .lmb file proportional to the distance from the user: the only known ways of stopping this force of attraction is by deleting the .lmb file from the computer that opened it, killing the user or physically destroying the SCP-3858-A instances. Recovery: SCP-3858 was initially identified by the Foundation following a routine investigation of suspected web-based anomalies by MTF Mu-4 ("Debuggers"). When attempts to trace the location of SCP-3858's hosting proved inconclusive, on the 9th of November, 2015, Mu-5 specialists managed to secure temporary access to the root account of the host and recovered several files from other users' accounts before being locked out; further attempts to compromise the website made by the Foundation have failed. Out of the multiple accounts accessed by Mu-5's task members, one account belonging to a user named "gcmp4" was found to contain no .lmb files, in contrast to every other account: Fourier analysis of these files and testing with D-Class subjects has shown that these files are similar in content and anomalous properties to .lmb files, i.e. when opened with an incorrect application these files cause objects to manifest in the physical vicinity of the user. However, SCP-3858's web client is incapable of previewing these files and activates their anomalous properties as with any other "incorrect" application. Addendum SCP-3858.a: Selection of files recovered from the "gcmp4" account File Name Objects Manifested Date of Creation inu_model.bdy Seventeen fur-covered Canis familiaris skull models constructed out of plastic. Unlike .lmb files, no anomalous force of attraction has been observed to act on these objects. 27 March 2008 doggo_[WIP].bdy A singular disembodied Canis familiaris head of similar appearance to the models produced by the "inu_model.bdy" file. Unlike those models, the head possesses all the expected anatomical features (eyes, blood vessels, etc.) 30 June 2008 arm_patch.bdy Several detached human arms of indeterminate origin, again with non-anomalous physiological features. Like other .lmb files, these arms are anomalously attracted to the user who opens the files; unlike these files, the arms are animate, sporadically moving their fingers as if to grip an object and bending at the elbows. 19 February, 2009 isolation.bdy A large bundle of myelin fibers and blood vessels. The object is partially animate and occasionally moves by sporadically contracting and expanding in the direction of movement. 23 April, 2009 universal_donor_finished.bdy A 7.9 L solid composed entirely of O- human blood, frozen at -79°C at the time of manifestation. 14 June, 2009 Of note is that on the 14th of June, 2009, the Log of Anomalous Events records a series of thirty-eight blood donations being made simultaneously by the same individual across the Southwestern United States. All official records of this event name the blood donor in question as "Ms. Blaise Burnham", indicating possible modification on the part of SCP-2586 as an attempt to conceal the user's identity.

SCP-3859 | keter | Item #: SCP-3859 Special Containment Procedures: While its use has diminished following 2015, active instances of SCP-3859 are still present on the European continent. Efforts to disable the technological components of SCP-3859 without harming their hosts are ongoing. Antiparasitic drugs have been introduced into the water supplies of France and surrounding nations to combat SCP-3859. Furthermore, a new EU Regulation lobbied for by several Foundation companies had increased the food safety standards for several mass-produced items used in religious ceremonies, such as Eucharist wafers, cutting back on the prevalence SCP-3859. Foundation personnel who believe they have become infected with SCP-3859 are to be given a cocktail of anti-parasitics and anti-OIViral drugs to combat them. Full details of this cocktail can be accessed by medical personnel. Description: SCP-3859 refers to a microscopic parasite infected with an Organic Interface Virus1, resulting in nanotechnological augmentations. SCP-3859 appears to be in the same genus as Ancylostoma duodenale (Old World hookworm), but are hermaphroditic as opposed to dioecious2, a characteristic not observed among hookworms. Furthermore, SCP-3859 appears to have been hybridized with tardigrade DNA some time in the last two-hundred generations. SCP-3859 appears to have been engineered specifically to infest humans with artificial components in their bodies and destroy them using their nanotechnological components. While hookworms are parasitic, they are not actively aggressive and do not normally leave the digestive tract, suggesting the technological components of SCP-3859 are modifying their behavior. Examples of destruction caused by SCP-3859 include: Erosion of artificial hip joints to the point of destruction Severing pacemaker wires with scissor-like appendages originating from their nanotechnological components Causing sensations of intense pain in an experimental prosthetic hand Destroying mounts for experimental "bionic" limbs Consuming and regurgitating metal fillings in teeth Causing cochlear implants to overheat and explode Melting piercings These behaviors are only present when SCP-3859 infests an individual that actively identifies as religious or spiritual. Due to the behavior of and conditions necessary for SCP-3859's anomalous properties to manifest, SCP-3859's effects are particularly deleterious to members of the Church of the Broken God. Over 80% of Mekhanites have at least minor augmentations such as fingers which are capable of turning 360 degrees or fiber-optic scalp hairs. 5% of members, including Maxwellist Living Saints and Cogwork Orthodox Legates, possess near full-body augmentations. Failures which are specific to members of the Church of the Broken God have included: Spontaneous combustion of replacement pineal glands Gears grinding, causing explosive failure Permanent network disconnection Failure of internal or external combustion engines Simultaneous discharge of all integrated weaponry Spontaneous welding of body parts Vocal augmentations, such as voice modulators, playing propaganda messages in French (see addendum). SCP-3859 was first discovered in 2011 after a Cogwork Orthodoxy ritual in Paris, France was sabotaged by the introduction of SCP-3859 to the holy oil used in the ceremony. Failure occurred over the course of several minutes, during which time all members in attendance died. The assorted technological malfunctions caused by SCP-3859 resulted in over €50,000 in damage to the building where the ceremony was being held. Since 2011, SCP-3859 has been involved in over forty attacks against the Church of the Broken God, resulting in the deaths of all affected individuals. As of 2015, it is believed that there are less than twenty practicing Mekhanites present in France, a decline of at least 90%. Addendum: Transcript of Propaganda: Following an attack in Lyon, a Maxwellist was able to survive long enough for the Foundation to conduct an interview, despite SCP-3859 infestation. While able to communicate in writing relatively unimpeded, their vocal processors transmitted a looping message in French at high volume until the subject's expiration from the destruction of their artificial pineal gland: You are nothing but an engine powered by ignorance. Forsake your superstition, your god of metal, your blind faith that has caused you to mutilate yourself. We have created the anti-virus for your technological blight, the firewall to cleanse Europe of your influence. You are nothing but a flaw in history, and we shall cut you out. Vive la rationalité. Vive l'athéisme. Addendum: Recovered Documents: In late 2015, French parasitologist Frederic Lacroix was checked into a hospital after their pacemaker failed. Several instances of SCP-3859 were found in their system, having consumed most of the pacemaker. This was treated as an unusual case, as Lacroix was an outspoken atheist, and had previously been arrested following an altercation with a priest in their hometown of Orleans. Lacroix died within three days, as attempts to keep his heart functioning were met with resistance by SCP-3859 instances. Hypothesizing a connection between Lacroix's research and SCP-3859, two Foundation recovery teams were dispatched to recover their research. While Lacroix's Paris lab had no relevant data, their home in Orleans contained several suspect documents. The task force retrieving the data was met with resistance. An excerpt of the after-action report of Agent Katerine Dubois is included below, describing the incident. Our cover story was that we were National Police officers, and we were investigating the circumstances of Lacroix's death. His widow let us in, and while Persaud kept her occupied, we scoured his house. In his room, we discovered a large book entitled "The Holy Bible, with commentaries by C.I. Scofield and a guide to Bible Study". This stood far out, because I'd heard of Lacroix; he was virulently atheist, so why would he keep a Bible? We took it off the shelf and rattled it around; it seemed to be at least partially hollow. I opened the book and dumped its contents onto the desk, and it burst into flames. Must've been booby-trapped, but we got out the documents and other materials unscathed. Some of the pages were intact— I think that Colette has them. We took one look at the pages and knew we had to return to base. However, upon reaching the front door, we met a group claiming to also be members of the National Police. Colette saw through it right away— they had Rugers at their side. National Police use SIG Pros, and reserve Rugers for difficult situations. We ran out the back and commandeered a vehicle. The so-called National Police were behind us, sirens blaring. They started shooting, and it's about that time I realized they were using anomalous weaponry— the Rugers were firing rounds too big for the barrel, and they never reloaded them. And then their car teleported in front of us to try to cut us off. We'd prepared for this eventuality— the Jewelers3 had a detachment within the city, and we raised them on our comms. They confirmed that the tactics and technology they were using were often used among RUBIS4 agents. If not for them, we'd probably be, as the Americans say, street pizza by now. They disabled their vehicle using pulse weaponry, and we managed to get to the safe house in Paris. Lacroix is now known to be a member of SAPHIR5 and had a key role in developing SCP-3859. A document recovered from their estate is below: A Brief Manifesto Against The Mekhanite Superstition And How To Topple It By Ceylon-Cut6 R.U.B.I.S. Fabergé In the 21st century, there is one superstition above all else that presents a danger to the rational world. The so-called Mekhanites are a rare religious organization which not only worships entities that it claims causes singularities7, but actively utilizes them, albeit in a subtle manner. To the untrained eye, they look human, but their hearts beat to the tune of clockwork, their breath is the humming of a computer fan, and their muscles bulge with carbon fibers the likes of which we can only hope to develop. Some of them even go so far as to replace their pineal glands, an organ often associated with the superstitious world. They have Legates and Living Saints which possess weaponized singularities— laser weaponry, kinetic cannons, ceramic blades which can cut through bone like butter. They are an active danger. If they revealed themselves, they could take over the world, turn it into a global theocracy, united under the flag of their clockwork god. Because of the fact they actively alter their body as a sacrament, they are nearly impossible to deprogram using our pamphlets— anyone willing to mutilate themselves for their faith is nearly unshakable. It is from this faith that we derive their doom. In October of 2010, a Mekhanite was found and disassembled by RUBIS agents for study. Among their body was a particular Singularity which is commonly used among our infiltration agents, an Organic Interface Virus created from nanotechnology. They have been engineered so that they are only responsive to those who are of strong Mekhanite faith, though we have been able to get them to work with a Christian as well. The primary purpose of this Virus appears to have been to avoid the rejection of the inorganic components by the organic ones. However, they are still computers, and flipping some zeros and ones to the correct positions can instead promote rejection— forcibly, if need be. However, the virus is reluctant to interact with a human body, even one that is mutilated as heavily as a Mekhanite's. It was engineered specifically for the one we disassembled, a flaw which was rectified by Spiral8 M. Lacroix. M. Lacroix discovered that their intestines were still organic, and infested with hookworms, who were also infected. From this original generation, M. Lacroix has created a new species, Ancylostoma neddluddi, named after a man who smashed technology they viewed as evil. Exact blueprints can be viewed in the attached document9 but even a single organism can produce enough interference to destroy a Mekhanite's body within minutes. Efforts will be primarily focused on destroying Mekhanite influence in France. From here, we will expand to Germany, Italy, and Greece. By the end of 2015, we expect to eliminate any Mekhanite influence on the continent. Addendum: Further SAPHIR activity: Since Lacroix's death, six other known SAPHIR agents have died as a result of SCP-3859 infestation, specifically due to SCP-3859 causing metal tooth fillings to explode, resulting in fatal brain hemorrhaging. Chatter within SAPHIR began speculating that Lacroix had intentionally programmed SCP-3859 to turn on SAPHIR agents after a set amount of time to further the agenda of the Church of the Broken God. No evidence has been found to suggest that Lacroix was not loyal to SAPHIR. SCP-3859 stopped being actively utilized by SAPHIR by December of 2015, with the following communique being released to agents: Emergency Notification Effective immediately, all Lacroix hookworms in possession of SAPHIR are to be destroyed, and the program is to be discontinued. They are acting indiscriminately, affecting atheist and superstitious alike. Twenty have died from infestation, including Lacroix. Their programming has not changed. They are doing the preposterous: interpreting our atheism as religion. We have no faith so fervent as to trigger them to do this. Lacroix was a traitor and a Mekhanist. His rank is stripped, and his name will be wiped from our history. Nostram Assulam Pavete Prior to the release of this communique, SAPHIR also released a heavily censored and altered account of an electronic journal belonging to Larcoix. The Foundation was aware of this document, but was unable to access it, due to a complex cipher utilized by SAPHIR. Following the defection of a RUBIS agent, the Foundation was able to decipher the original text. Several relevant portions of the document have been recorded below. 9th January 2011 Using research from M. Croshaw regarding the Crucifix Protein10, I have modified my children. They should only become agitated in the presence of this compound, and from that, they produce destruction. 20th January Mme. Le Muer brought up an interesting point at the meeting: what if the Mekhanite in question has had their brain entirely replaced? Would they still be effective? All Mekhanites were, at one point, human. And from this humanity, they had organic parts. Cut off a zealot's arm and their blood still carries Crucifix Proteins. If they have a single organic molecule in them, my children will feast on it. 14th February St. Valentine's Day, and with that, communion. I had a compatriot in the clergy at a local church taint some communion wine as a test run— there's one in the congregation who has a pacemaker, and if it fails, it works as a proof of concept. 25th February He was found, dead, his pacemaker overloaded. Police are saying that it was caused by a faulty microwave. The hookworms were not even mentioned in the coroner's report. I feel sorry for the man's family, but they are better off without abusive superstition in their life. 8th July Now for the actual test. An Orthodox gathering of Mekhanites has had the worms put into their oil. Hopefully the hybrid DNA will keep them from drowning. 9th July The explosions were on the news. They covered it up as a gas leak, nothing to be alarmed about, but I was there at the scene. They were carrying out a tangled mess of metal that was once a man, all of the weapons discharging. We can use this— perhaps the next edition of the GRENAT can include the weapons capabilities? 12th October 2012 Word out of Nova Scotia— one of our colleagues overseas has died. His teeth exploded. Signs of my hookworms in his system. He was assigned to be the aid of a Cardinal— most likely, he started developing the faith. He will not be missed. 20th April 2013 An interesting occurrence— several of the Maxwellists (those who think the world would be better if everyone was in Blade Runner) committed suicide in the middle of a ceremony after exposure to my worms. Apparently, the worms somehow disabled their internet connection, and kept disabling it every time they tried to replace it. They would rather die than go without wi-fi. Such irrational minds should not be allowed to have such technology. 17th June Reports indicate that all Mekhanists within central France have gone extinct. Fringe elements remain in Paris, but several sects have fled the country, if not been completely wiped out. And they remain clueless, thinking that this is the work of the Flesh. 4th May 2014 Ten people who worked on this project with me died. They all had my hookworms in their system, and had recently been in contact with Mekhanites. I'm sure that testing will show that they had been hacked— an oversight on my part, unfortunately. We did reclaim this technology, and as such, it is conceivable that they could manipulate it. I'll have M. Ludd update the software. 5th May 2014 No change in the software. Probably reset after the hack was complete. Oh, were we to have a nanotechnology expert— M. Wright's company was gunned down by the Chicago Spectre. 7th March 2015 Vomited all day. Containment failed on my project— I got hookworms in my system. It's of little consequence, they will do nothing without the presence of the Crucifix Protein. I'll take some anti-parasitics I keep around the lab. It should kill them off. 15th March Making the worms hermaphroditic was a mistake. They're reproducing quicker than the drugs can kill them off. Going to the hospital after doing some tests on myself. 20th March Infection's been culled. Feeling much better; going to repair containment in my laboratory and get back to work in a few days. 23rd March My heart skipped several beats today. I fell on the floor— my pacemaker's going bad. Low battery. Going to the hospital tomorrow. I found something alarming in my blood. I was doing an analysis of a sample I took while I still had worms in my system, and found them feeding on something that shouldn't be present: crucifix proteins. I have been poisoned. I'm going to die. 25th March The doctor says there's nothing wrong with my blood other than the parasites, and my pacemaker wires have been severed. I maybe have a week left. I feel as if I am committing treason while writing this. I tested samples I keep in my lab for emergency transfusions— all of our blood has the Crucifix Protein. And it's occurring naturally. We have failed. In our quest to make the world a reasonable place, we have made it a crusade. SAPHIR is a cult. Atheism is a religion. God help us. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3860 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3860 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3860 is to be contained within a Type S Anti-Thaumatological Humanoid Anomaly Containment Cell at Site-19's High Security Humanoid Containment Wing. The cell is to be inspected daily for both contraband and attempts to breach containment. Physiological and psychological evaluations of SCP-3860 are to occur on a weekly basis to address SCP-3860's attempts at self-repair and potential mental deterioration. Any physiological changes made by SCP-3860 to itself are to be logged and evaluated for potential threat to containment. SCP-3860 may be provided with mechanical and thaumatological components as means of coercing valuable intelligence. All components must be approved by both SCP-3860's primary investigator, a thaumatological consult, and Site Command prior to application. Any components which could potentially assist SCP-3860 in breach of containment are to be denied. Components may be removed from SCP-3860 to ease containment. Description: SCP-3860 is the former PoI-1115 (Vincent Anderson), a 67-year-old white male and former CEO/Founder of GoI-1115 (Anderson Robotics)1. SCP-3860's body has undergone numerous augmentation of various systems using a combination of thaumatological techniques and advanced prosthetic technology. These augmentations include, but are not limited to: Replacement of both arms and legs with prosthetics constructed from combinations of aluminum, PMMA, polycarbonate casings, and white aramid fibers2. These prosthetics do not possess any discernible power source, and possess a network of thin cobalt-chromium alloy wires that connect into SCP-3860's central nervous system. Replacement of both eyes with a complex series of optical lenses. Observation of these lenses during physical exams has shown them to be embedded with numerous thaumatological symbols. Replacement of the nose by a single grated orifice. Grafts of a white aramid fiber over various locations on the torso. These fibers have been demonstrated to weave into SCP-3860's non-anomalous tissues, and are capable of migrating to and filling in any scar tissue sustained by SCP-38603. Apparent replacement of the liver and kidneys with synthetic variations. Due to the inability to fully study these components without their removal from SCP-3860, the full extent of their differences from non-anomalous tissue is unknown. A series of augmentations to various regions of the brain including the frontal and parietal lobes4, as well as the cerebellum. Subsequent interviews with SCP-3860 indicate all augmentations were self-implemented, with SCP-3860 insisting it designed and worked alone on each one. The means by which SCP-3860 was able to perform these traumatic procedures on itself and survive are currently under investigation. SCP-3860 was initially apprehended by operatives of MTF Gamma-13 ("Asimov's Lawbringers") on 15/11/2018, during a sting operation within the Three Portlands Location of Interest5. Unbeknownst to SCP Foundation operatives, SCP-3860 avoided full apprehension until the joint UIU/Foundation raid on the Anderson Robotics Headquarters on 24/5/2024. Addendum: 3860-1: Interview Log 3860-6 + Show Interview - Hide Interview Interviewed: SCP-3860 Interviewer: Researcher Rose Labelle Foreword: The following interview was conducted on 29/8/2024, as part of the initial containment of SCP-3860 following its capture on 24/5/2024. The goal of the interview was to investigate the nature of SCP-3860's augmentations. <Begin Log> Labelle: Good afternoon again, Vincent. SCP-3860: Is it? I don't have a clock or window in my cell, so it’s hard to tell. To what do I owe the pleasure, anyway? Labelle: Believe it or not, I've come to talk with you about, well… you. How you became you. The amount of augmentations you've undergone is extensive. Really, it’s a miracle you're not dead. SCP-3860 tsks. SCP-3860: I thought the Foundation was of the opinion that one Vincent Anderson in the world was one too many. Why on earth are you going to try to make another one? Labelle: We're not. But you can't deny that the changes you've made to yourself are of interest to what we do here! For example, your ability to still perform both thaumatological rituals and incantations through your prosthetics as well as… SCP-3860: Ah, so there it is! So long as the Robo-Wizard works for you guys it’s— Labelle: Well, you're missing my point. SCP-3860: Am I? Why else would you want to know how I became what I am today? I mean, did any of you ever ponder why I went through all this trouble to begin with? Labelle: That's not a bad place to start. Why did you undergo so many augmentations? Why go through such Herculean efforts? SCP-3860 shifts in its seat, then pauses briefly. SCP-3860: I had the means to raise myself above the shell I was born in, so I took the risk. Phineas helped at first but in the end I seized control of my form. I mean, I can read one-point font from half a mile away, hear a pin drop in the rain, identify your staff before they get within a hectometer of this cell by the brand of their cologne. If you could elevate yourself up above the normal human experience, and be a pioneer in that realm, wouldn't you strive to blaze that trail? Labelle: It’s tempting, sure, but I feel you're underselling the cost this transformation put on you. SCP-3860 gestures at itself up and down. SCP-3860: Do you think I wanted to end up looking like the Pale Man from that Del Toro movie? Labelle: I'm going to guess no, you didn't. SCP-3860 nods. SCP-3860: I made countless mistakes in this process, and paid for it personally… SCP-3860 looks at its right and then clenches its fist. SCP-3860: A magician doesn't reveal his tricks, Miss Labelle. How I became what I am is the last thing the Foundation has to take away from me, and they won't get it. I'm sorry, but there is nothing else for me to tell you. <End Log> Addendum: 3860-2: Update 2/2/2027 As a result of increasing difficulty operating several of its augmentations, SCP-3860 has greatly expanded the number of requested components to facilitate its self-repair over the course of the last six months. A notably larger proportion of these requested components are believed to be of a thaumatological nature. SCP-3860 has likewise increased its cooperation with Foundation investigation efforts as a means of acquiring these components. SCP-3860 denies any change in behavior during interviews at this time. Addendum: 3860-3: Interview Log 3860-13 + Show Interview - Hide Interview Interviewed: SCP-3860 Interviewer: MTF Commander Clarissa Shaw Foreword: The following interview was conducted on 13/6/2027, as part of MTF Gamma-13's ongoing containment of SCP-2806. <Begin Log> Shaw: Good morning, Vincent. SCP-3860: My good friend, Clarissa. Which of my fires have you come to have me help put out this time? Shaw: Glad to see you noticed the trend of my interviews… Shaw hands SCP-3860 a file. Shaw: While we've mopped up most of your products following your confinement here, the Gyrfalcon series prosthetics has been proving more elusive, most likely because they are attached to Marshall, Carter, and Dark customers. In exchange for a few of the components you requested from your repair list of our choosing, we want you to remotely deactivate them, if possible. SCP-3860: Well that is a fun thought, Clarissa, but it's not possible. Shaw: Why is that? SCP-3860: Because there is no means of remotely deactivating them. They don't have receivers of any sort, and deactivating them thaumatologically would have incredible side effects. You could send drones out to install a device to shut them down, I suppose, but that would require you to know the identity of the person to begin with. Shaw: So it can't be done. SCP-3860: How astute. Shaw: Do they have any kind of thaumatological aura that could be remotely detected? SCP-3860: The thaumatological components of the Gyrfalcon series are glorified power sources, so no. Can't help you put out this fire, champ. Shaw: I guess that's that then. Good chat, Vincent. Shaw prepares to leave. SCP-3860: Wait… I do have one idea. Shaw pauses. Shaw: I'm listening. SCP-3860: Those robot ghosts that ended up in that pocket dimension. If you have a means of detecting them, check to see if the same detector picks up still functioning droids. If so, you might be able to use them to detect the Gyrfalcon users. Shaw: Are… are you suggesting that these people will be displaced there when they die? SCP-3860: Hell if I know. Maybe? Like I said it’s just a thought. SCP-3860 laughs briefly, then becomes sullen. SCP-3860: Wonder if I'll end up there in the end. <End Log> Addendum: 3860-4: Update 3/3/2038 SCP-3860 has greatly diminished its number of requested components over the course of the last three months, with SCP-3860 failing to make any more additional component requests after 15/2/2038. During this time period, SCP-3860 has become increasingly emaciated despite no change in nutrition levels and no discernible illness. SCP-3860 still maintains a high level of cooperation with the Foundation's investigative efforts. As before, SCP-3860 denies any changes in behavior. Addendum: 3860-5: Interview Log 3860-32 + Show Interview - Hide Interview Interviewed: SCP-3860 Interviewer: Site Director Sasha Merlo Foreword: The following interview was conducted on 15/11/2040, following SCP-3860's agreement to divulge information about its transformation in exchange for an undisclosed service. SCP-3860 insisted the negotiation be held with Site Director Sasha Merlo, former CO of MTF Gamma-13, and refused contact with all other personnel regarding the subject. <Begin Log> SCP-3860: It’s been a very long time, Sasha. You've aged gracefully. Merlo: Same to you Vince, but you don't seem to age. SCP-3860: How's Gabe? I see Jessie carried in your footsteps. A true Gamma-13 agent. Was that an engagement ring on her finger? SCP-3860 sighs. SCP-3860: Did I tell you that my own daughter got married a few years ago? Time just really gets away from- Merlo: My time is very valuable, Vince. What do you want, and what are you prepared to offer? SCP-3860: Right. Sorry. I guess I'm a little sentimental these days. SCP-3860 chuckles. SCP-3860: I am prepared to divulge, in full, all schematics regarding my personal augmentations. This includes all required rituals and surgical techniques. I am also willing to demonstrate their function on any person or persons of your choosing. In exchange, I request the termination of the Phineas AI construct6 that was taken from my office during the raid in which you apprehended me. Silence. Merlo: That's… generous, Vince. Why? SCP-3860: Excuse me? Merlo: Why do you want us to kill Phineas? Again? SCP-3860: Because it’s what he wants. Merlo: I've interacted with the Phineas AI construct, and I hate to burst your bubble, but he's not exactly suicidal. SCP-3860: Of course not. It's a protocol I added shortly after creating him. If he could self-end, or could even make the attempt to convince others to end him, I'm sure he would not waste a moment. Merlo: That's hearsay. Even if it was true, why are you making this bargain now? SCP-3860: It’s just the right thing to do, and now is the time to do it. Silence. SCP-3860: My systems are failing. I give myself two, maybe three more years. I'm just trying to make sure that I fix as many mistakes as I can before that. I can't undo what I did to Phineas, but I can at least respect his wishes. You're not a person without compassion, Sasha. I've known you long enough to know that. Please help a dying man. Merlo: I've known you a long time too, Vince. I know you tug at heartstrings and slip bills into wallets to make yourself feel better. SCP-3860: Then don't do this for my sake, Sasha. Please. Do it for Phineas's. You know he deserves better than this. Please. Director Merlo shakes her head. Merlo: Even if I believed you, I don't have the authority to make that kind of call. Can't budge here. SCP-3860 nods. SCP-3860: I'm sorry for wasting your time then, Sasha. I hope the rest of your career is fruitful, as is your daughter's. If we don't see one another again, well… we had fun times. Director Merlo sighs, then turns and leaves. Merlo: Goodbye, Vince. <End Log> Footnotes 1.

SCP-3861 | euclid | Sketch drawn by SCP-3861 affected subject depicting their view through a mirror. Item #: SCP-3861 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation assets embedded in the United States Postal Service are to intercept any packages with a return address listing "TheThirteenAndYou" as the return address. The contents of these boxes are to be stored within a Site-77 vault. The packaging is not considered to be part of the anomaly, but should still be retained for DNA analysis and other potential evidence. Description: SCP-3861 designates a series of identical letters sent to individuals who have used commercial genetic testing kits. The letter appears to be from a service aligned with the genetic testing company, claiming to have detected that the subject has something in their past in need of resolution, and offering to help them put it to rest. Examples of such regretted actions have included abortions, not reaching out to family members regarding abuse committed by other relatives, a failure to answer a phone call or text from a friend who subsequently committed suicide, and the decision to take a loved one off of life support. If the individual responds positively to the letter, the next time they look into any reflective surface, they will see a group of thirteen figures seemingly identical to family members, current or former friends, and other individuals familiar to the subject; not all of whom are necessarily relevant or aware of the guilt-causing choice. If the subject looks away, they will continue to perceive the conversation exactly where it left off the next time they view a reflective surface. A humanoid figure, silhouetted and with its back facing the subject and speaking with a muffled voice will begin asking the replicas questions concerning the action taken by the subject and whether or not the choice causing the distress was the correct one. All of this is only perceptible to the subject. Although all thirteen figures will take on personalities similar to the people they are depicting, any knowledge, memories, and beliefs appear to be more reflective to the subject's perception and biases of the perceived persons rather than how the persons may exist in reality. After one hour, all SCP-3861 related effects will abruptly cease. Most subjects have attempted to obtain some form of therapy or similar outlets for their distress afterwards. The only known universal effect among those who have experienced SCP-3861 is the appearance of a strong interest in organizing a family reunion. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3861" by Anonymous, jinjja, from the SCP Wiki.

Under no circumstances are all three objects to be studied together without prior written approval by the current HMCL supervisor or the current Site Director. All testing events should be conducted in a Class A sterile laboratory, and researchers involved must undergo thorough decontamination procedures after being exposed to any of the SCP-3862 objects. In the event of a containment breach, Site-54 will enter immediate bio-contamination lock down, and all personnel must present immediately at the closest decontamination facility to prevent the spread of SCP-3862-Σ The unofficial disinformation campaign originally conceived by the Portuguese aristocracy was largely successful in removing all mention of the relationship between Eleanore Tavora & Lucien Dutoit, and this campaign is currently being maintained by the Foundation and its assets. TSATPWTCOTTTADC.aic has been tasked with monitoring web traffic and academic correspondence for references to the Marquesa de Abrantes & her relationships. Any mention of Lucien Dutoit is to be immediately tagged and sent to the current SCP-3862 head researcher for review. NOTE: Research into SCP-3862 has re-commenced under the direction of Dr. Jaime Forrester. See 3862.doc.01 for more details. Description SCP-3862 collectively refers to three separate objects, previously owned by the Marquesa de Abrantes, Eleanore da Piedade de Lancastre e Tavora and her paramour, Ser Lucien Dutoit. Designation Description SCP-3862-A A Victorian-era letterbox inlaid with mother-of-pearl and lacquered with a solution that includes significant traces of human blood1 SCP-3862-B An ornate wall sconce grown from human bone SCP-3862-C An ornate side table carved from a keratin-like substance2 All three objects, as well as the letters contained in SCP-3862-A, are hosts to two previously unknown and unique strains of the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria that, when combined with each other, manifest in a virulent pathogenic contagion designated SCP-3862-Σ. This bacterial manifestation is highly resistant to all commonly known antimicrobial therapies, and is considered biologically immortal. It is to be noted that SCP-3862-Σ only becomes active when both strains are present. Attached Addenda Discovery The Palace of the Marqueses of Abrantes, c. 2013 SCP-3862 was first acquired by the Foundation in 1952, during the renovation of the Palace of Santos, the former seat of the House Abrantes, and the current French Embassy in Lisbon, Portugal. While the palace had been used for some time by the French government as a de-facto Embassy, it was formally acquired by France in 1909, and by 1951 it was in need of major renovation to update the internal facilities as well as repair to several structural elements. It was during this renovation that the first hidden entrance to a small "chapel" was discovered in what had once been the bedchamber of the Marquesa Eleanore Lancastre e Tavora. Upon further investigation, an additional hidden entrance and hallway was discovered that connected the "chapel" to a guest bedroom now believed to have been occupied by a member of the French diplomatic mission to Portugal, Ser Lucien Dutoit. Very little was documented about the initial discovery of this "chapel" and its contents. The workers and staff assigned to the renovation of that area were all exposed to the pathogenic contagion associated with SCP-3862 and quickly succumbed to rapid-onset bacterial infection. Due to the anomalous attributes associated with this disease and the contents of the chapel itself, the Foundation was alerted by assets embedded in the consulate staff, and the Embassy was immediately placed under quarantine. It is unclear how the initial outbreak was contained. Many of the Foundation personnel assigned to the acquisition of SCP-3862 were also exposed to SCP-3862-Σ and subsequently expired. Not knowing the extent of contamination, successor personnel destroyed all the reports and research material originally associated with SCP-3862. While this was apparently successful in containing the outbreak of SCP-3862-Σ, the majority of the information surrounding the acquisition of SCP-3862 and the location wherein it was found was lost. Additional Research ■ 3862.doc.01 - Memo to Site Director ■ □ 3862.doc.01 - Memo to Site Director □ SCPF Internal Memorandum FROM: Dr. Jaime Forrester TO: Site Director Andreas Götz DATE: 2013/02/12 RE: Request to commence study of SCP-3862 & related objects Given Dr. Judith Low's recent report on the increase in both Proto- and Neo-Sarkic activities, we need to re-evaluate our stance on the study of SCP-3862. The articles in question are clearly Sarkic in origin, and the study of their nature may shed additional light on the activities of any number of the European Neo-Sarkic cults during the Victorian era. As of now, we know precious little about the ambitions and goals of the Neo-Sarkic GoI. As their influence in both the anomalous and non-anomalous world grows, it becomes increasingly incumbent upon the Foundation to not only learn as much as we possibly can, but also to devise ways to blunt the impact of whatever it is they are planning. I believe that the information contained within the letters from someone who was obviously a high-ranking member in Neo-Sarkic society at the time will shed some light on the genesis of whatever their current ambitions might be. Remember, the Karcists all think incredibly long-term. Their ability to become effectively immortal gives them both patience and the drive to create and achieve very far-reaching goals. As of now, we don't even have a clue what those might be, and we need to do whatever we can to ensure that their impact on normalcy is as minimal as possible. Please see my attached proposal for reopening research into SCP-3862. I have included all current data on the Sigma pathogen, as well as the work done on negating the spread of the contagion. Respectfully, Dr. Jaime Forrester Sr. Researcher, Department of History - Religious GoI Threat Analysis SCPF Internal Memorandum FROM: Site Director Andreas Götz TO: Jaime Forrester DATE: 2013/02/13 RE: Request to commence study of SCP-3862 & related objects Request granted. You give a convincing argument, and the threat analysis provided by Dr. Low only strengthens your position. Please confer with Dr. Juliette Messier in medical for devising a revision to the containment procedures to cover any potential breach by the Sigma contagion. Dr. Andreas Götz Site Director, Site-54 Eleanore da Piedade de Lancastre e Tavora, 8th Marquesa de Abrantes Also 15th Countess of Penaguião and 11th Countess of Vila Nova de Portimão Marquesa Eleanore Lancastre e Tavora B. January 19, 1834; D. (presently unknown) First child of Pedro Maria da Piedade de Lancastre Almeida Sá Menezes (1816-1847), 7th Marquesa de Abrantes. Ascended to the peerage upon the death of her father in 1847, though the majority of her responsibilities were handled by her uncle, João Maria da Piedade de Lancastre e Tavora. The official purpose of the regency was due to her age at the time of ascension, and all official records state that his regency was continued after her majority due to her poor health. João Maria was never officially confirmed as the 8th Marquesa, though most official records state his title as such regardless. It is now believed that Eleanore's actual confirmation as the 8th Marquesa was suppressed primarily as a result of the scandal surrounding her relationship with the disgraced French nobleman Lucien Dutoit. It is interesting to note, however, that she is mentioned in numerous non-official accounts as having once been quite the socialite. At one point, it was rumored that her uncle was in negotiations to have her married to Lord Aberdeen, a prominent member of the British peerage, though this never came to fruition. Regardless, official documents seem to contradict these accounts, claiming instead that she was a recluse and remained so due to her poor health. What is known, through the letters found in SCP-3862-A, is that the Marquesa traveled to England in May of 1851, and it was there that she met Lucien Dutoit at a social event held to celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria. ■ 3862-A.doc.01 - Letter from Lucien Dutoit ■ □ 3862-A.doc.01 - Letter from Lucien Dutoit □ May 19, 1851 Eleanore, It is with the utmost excitement, indeed that I must express my joy at having had the true pleasure of meeting such an esteemed and yet alluring lady such as yourself. I admit that I found myself at a loss of words to adequately express myself upon our first meeting, though as the evening wore on, I was unable to contain my adoration for your most exquisite company. I truly hope that the attention that I lavished upon you was not unwelcome, as that evening spent with you was and is one that I can naught but cherish as one of my most enjoyable yet spent in this dour country. Your grace and eloquence spake directly to my heart, and I have found myself returning again and again in my mind to your cunning words and musical laughter. Would that I could but hear them both again, over and over, until they are all the sounds my ears can hear. Perhaps, if you would be so inclined, we can continue to converse through this medium? Though I fear that no matter how I agonize over the page, my own words will remain but a shadow of the way I wish to express myself. I wish nothing more than to devote myself entirely to the pursuit of your affection, for while our time together was short, I now see that there is nothing more in this world that can compare to the ecstasy of your smile and the warmth of your attention. Awaiting your answer, I remain, with respectful affection, Ever yours, - Lucien ■ 3862-A.doc.02 - Letter from Eleanore Tavora ■ □ 3862-A.doc.02 - Letter from Eleanore Tavora □ June 1, 1851 My gallant Ser Lucien, It was with great regret that I pulled myself from your touch when finally we had to part. I was truly overjoyed to receive your request to write to me, and that was but a pale candle next to the glorious sunrise of joy I experienced when I realized I had received the actualization of your request. I read and re-read your missive with ever-increasing excitement, and my ladies had to restrain me from heading off immediately to pen my response. I curse now that there is such distance between us, for even with the modernity of conveyance, I cannot live with the time that must lapse between reading your words. Be sure to write back to me the very day that you receive this, for even a small time to wait is agony within my breast. Forever I remain, breathless with anticipation at your reply, entirely Yours, - Eleanore Lucien Dutoit née Thiers - Officier, Légion d'honneur Also Karcist, Société de la Fleur Sanglante (Society of the Bloody Flower) Ser Lucien Dutoit B. (unknown); D. (unknown) Almost nothing is known about Dutoit outside of the SCP-3862-A letters. All mention of him was expunged from French diplomatic records at the request of the Portuguese government. It is this very lack of available information that suggests that the identity of "Lucien Dutoit née Thiers" is just one of many such personas assumed by this individual. What is known, and has been confirmed through various outside sources, is that Dutoit is the identity used by the Karcist of the Neo-Sarkic cult Société de la Fleur Sanglante (Society of the Bloody Flower). It is believed that Dutoit is the nom de guerre assumed by the Karcist after the fall of the July Monarchy in 1848. Our understanding as to why Dutoit was positioned at the British court via the French diplomatic corps is purely conjecture. Through his letters, we can assume that he was attempting to gain leverage amongst the British aristocracy in a hope to shift his flagging power base in France and either his attempts to do so were blocked by an unknown outside entity, or he simply found that shifting to Portugal was a much more appetizing prospect. Either way, the Société did make the move to Portugal, and Dutoit utilized his connection with the Marquesa to secure a French diplomatic residency at the Palace of Santos. It is unclear how much of that delegation was made up of members of his Société, but the impact of Dutoit's shifting to Lisbon did ultimately result in the Palace of Santos eventually becoming the permanent French Embassy in Portugal. ■ 3862-A.doc.23 - Letter from Lucien Dutoit ■ □ 3862-A.doc.23 - Letter from Lucien Dutoit □ June 17, 1852 Eleanore, These past few months have flown by in a flurry of your letters. The distaste I experience at returning to my work with the boorish louts that pretend at grace is only heightened by the heights of ecstasy I experience when I think to the words held upon the pages I carry with me always near to my heart. Indeed, I have taken to carrying your letters in the breast pocket of my coat, and their scent has raised more than a few eyebrows when I walk into the chambers of Parliament. I care not for their irrelevant disapproval, even less now that I have such an excellent thing to share with you. I admit, I am breathless still from my running here from my meeting with Count Colonna-Walewski, for I could not bear to merely walk in my excitement. Indeed, it is difficult to even write this, for my hand shakes so, for I am also afraid that to actually put pen to paper with my news it will fade away to nothing, a mere phantasm of hope. Nay, I must write it, for to write it will certainly mean that our greatest wish has finally come to pass. Today, not forty minutes ago, I was told that my request to Count Armand has been granted! Not only that, I am to join him in barely a fortnight hence where we shall travel from Paris to take up residence at the Palace of Santos! I could barely restrain myself from leaping for joy when that ass Walewski spoke to me of disbelief that Armand would lower himself to take up actual residence in a palace of the bourgeoisie! Regardless, it is with the most profound excitement that I can relay to you that our prayers have indeed been granted, and I shall be coming to stand at your side. May these days fly swiftly, for I hope to arrive within moments of the footman handing this letter to you. In eternal anticipation no longer, - Lucien ■ 3862-A.doc.24 - Letter from Eleanore Tavora ■ □ 3862-A.doc.24 - Letter from Eleanore Tavora □ August 1, 1852 My dearest love, There are not enough words in the entirety of the English language to express my longing for your immediate arrival. I detest the charade we must play in order for the whispers at court to not include the truth about us, for this language is so inelegant at times. Even so, that serves as nothing to dampen my spirits, for this letter will be waiting for you upon arrival! I know not how I will be able to maintain the decorum my uncle insists upon when face to face with the object of my affection! Just knowing that you are already within the borders of Lisbon brings me to true paroxysms of rapture. I feel as if I am floating, and I have been such since I first heard that you would be coming. I have ensured that you will be given the Willow room for your own. The left sconce is the one that opens the way to the chamber I have set aside for us. I replaced the sconce in my own room with your gift, and this time when I caress its lovely stem, I shall be opening the way to you! I shall retire as soon as you have been welcomed, and I will await you there with bated breath and, dare I even say it, dampened thighs. With the weight of the universe suspended between heartbeats, I remain eternally Yours, - Eleanore SCPF Internal Memorandum FROM: Dr. Jaime Forrester TO: Site Director Andreas Götz DATE: 2013/06/08 RE: Update on the research into SCP-3862 SCP-3862-A file photo Our research into SCP-3862 has already yielded several important findings, primary among them the information on the Société de la Fleur Sanglante. We knew that there was a Sarkic cult involved in the July Monarchy because that was one of the factors utilized by Her Majesty's Foundation for the Secure Containment of the Paranormal3 to justify their involvement in that whole affair. Our records from the HMFSCP only referred to the cult as "the Société", and now that we have the full name, we've been able to trace more of their movements through our connections to the Library. Additionally, the SCP-3862-A box itself is fairly non-anomalous aside from being made from human skin. We think that the DNA samples that we were able to get from the leather belong to both Dutoit and the Marquesa, but the DNA itself was so damaged by the lacquering process that it is difficult to be certain. If it is, it could represent the missing element of SCP-3862-Σ that we've been looking for. Perhaps Dr. Messier and her team can utilize it in synthesizing a vaccine, but that's only in the earliest stages at this point. Respectfully, Dr. Jaime Forrester Head Researcher, SCP-3862 ■ 3862-A.doc.38 - Letter from Lucien Dutoit ■ □ 3862-A.doc.38 - Letter from Lucien Dutoit □ September 13, 1854 My Volutaar, Your skill at the lih'acut'aq4 has improved dramatically, and it is only fitting that you rise to my side as my Volutaar. The Société has blossomed here in Lisbon, and I have only you to thank for that. Your ardent and passionate embrace of Nälkä has been inspiring, and it relieves my old heart to see someone as young as you show such incredible skill. Including you in my Great Work has proven to be of immense worth and has been a source of tremendous joy. With you by my side, there is nothing that will stand between us and apotheosis. Our ascension will be an orgy of flesh, the purification of self through the bliss of orgasmic ecstasy. I long even now to run my fingers once again through the sodden folds of your viscera, to feel your moist heat spread across my flesh, to join as one inside of you. I shall rise into you, and through our union, we shall unleash a new dawn upon this world. - Lucien ■ 3862-A.doc.41 - Letter from Eleanore Tavora ■ □ 3862-A.doc.39 - Letter from Eleanore Tavora □ Note: This letter appears to be hastily written and is stained in multiple places with a dark substance that has retained a certain viscosity, despite the years it has been in containment. December 22, 1854 Master, You must flee! My pregnancy has not gone unnoticed, and João Maria is furious. We have been too lax in our precaution, and my uncle has gone to the vicar with his tale. You shall be cast out! I tremble at the thought of what the might of the Church assembled against you will do, and I can do nothing but give you this warning and a single last gift. When I am done writing this, I shall use the remainder of my strength to ensure the birth of our child. She shall be a rising tide of our vengeance, and she will carry within her my soul, my hope for rebirth within your loving embrace. Teach her as you have taught me, love her as you have loved me, touch her as you have touched me, for she will be I. Not just I, but a better me, infused with your blessing, my dearest Lord. I shall leave her, along with this and all our other letters in our Chapel. I only wish that I could be there to see you and her together, with these eyes, that shall soon grow empty and vacant without my soul to light their lamps.

Primary is the inclusion of a small white bird, possibly a dove. Medium: Bone (human), lacquer, gold leaf (24kt). Dimensions: 66.04cm tall, 25.38cm wide, 15.22cm deep. Object Location: Antiquities Vault, Site-54 Notes: Of interest is that the entire structure appears to have been grown, as opposed to carved. Various imaging techniques were utilized to determine if this was "new growth" bone, as is often the case in Sarkic anatomical structures5, or if this was created using pre-existing structures from a "donor". What was found was that this was "old growth" bone, as signified by typical calcium-density markers that have been previously identified as restructured growth typically found in the skeletal structures of biologically immortal entities. Additionally, DNA sample analysis proves that this is a match to the samples belonging to one of the individuals associated with SCP-3862-A. It is the conclusion of the research team that SCP-3862-B is an object of art created by Lucien Dutoit, from his own body. Furthermore, it represents the use of pre-existing bone structure (primarily taken from the thoracic cage).6 SCP-3862 Final Report FROM: Site Director Andreas Götz TO: O5-█; O5-█; Jonathon DeCroix, Director, Ethics Committee DATE: 2015/04/03 RE: SCP-3862 Final Report It is with a fair amount of personal regret that I must inform you of the passing of Dr. Jaime Forrester. While the results of his research have forwarded our understanding of Neo-Sarkicism, I am uncertain if the loss of such a brilliant researcher is commiserate with the information gained. While such losses are often inevitable in the work that we have sworn ourselves to, it is still something that we strive to prevent wherever possible. In this instance, it was my decision to allow reopening the research into SCP-3862 that ultimately led to Dr. Forrester's untimely and rather grisly end. Nonetheless, we now know that the entity known as "Lucien Dutoit" may still be at large and represents a significantly greater threat than we originally realized. Dr. Low's insistence that Ion was not the likely creator of SCP-610 has been confirmed, and in a way that is truly terrifying for us all. Who knows how many of the horrific pathogens that have been released upon the world have been the result of Dutoit's meddling? The Flesh that Hates has the same lethality to everyone, regardless of status, and murdering everyone doesn't fit with Ion's reported desire to free the oppressed. The Historical department has always more-or-less agreed that Ion was generally too benevolent, in his own way, to have created and released a disease like that purely for vengeance. The possibility of someone else being the architect of 610 has always been a theory, but absent a smoking gun, it has remained just a theory. I believe that this is that smoking gun. Attached, please find a transcription of Dr. Forrester's final experiment with SCP-3862. May dissemination of this information bring forth a result that can assuage my guilt. Andreas Götz Site Director, Site-54 ■ 3862.doc.08 - Transcript ■ □ 3862.doc.08 - Transcript □ SCP-3862-C file photo Date: 2015/03/12 @ 13:22 Researcher: Dr. Jaime Forrester Research Objects: SCP-3862-A, -B, -C Foreword: Dr. Forrester was approved to conduct a single experiment involving all SCP-3862 objects. Strict biological contamination procedures were put into place, and Dr. Forrester conducted the experiment while inside a Class 4 positive pressure biohazard suit. The containment vessels for all three SCP-3862 objects were placed inside Sterile Room Beta, and Dr. Forrester entered the sterile field alone, with Dr. Golzar observing. [BEGIN LOG] [Dr. Forrester enters the airlock for SR-Beta and proceeds to dress in his protective suit.] Dr. Forrester: Mic check. This is Dr. Jaime Forrester, sometime shortly after 1pm, March 12. Dr. Golzar: Reading you loud and clear, Jaime. You sure you want to do this? [Dr. Forrester finishes final checks on his suit seals and gives a thumbs up to the camera] Dr. Forrester: I have my reservations but, needs must. It is important to gauge exactly how virulent the Sigma pathogen actually is, and you know my opinion on using the D-class for stuff like this. Dr. Golzar: Fair enough. I'm starting the cycle now, you know the drill. [The light above the inner door shifts to amber, then shifts to green and Dr. Forrester opens it to step through into the testing chamber. The SCP-3862-A & -B containment lockers are situated on a large steel table in the center of the room, with the SCP-3862-C containment locker beside it. Dr. Forrester proceeds to the table and begins the procedure to open -C] Dr. Forrester: Let's get right to it. Taking the table out first. [short pause] Even after looking at these things as often as I have, I gotta admit that opening them all together is a bit of a rush. Dr. Golzar: It is exciting, that's for sure. Just… be careful. [Dr. Forrester looks up at the camera and grins through the clear shield.] Dr. Forrester: 'course. [He proceeds to remove -C from its locker and sets it out to the side. Over the next few minutes, he retrieves -A and -B and sets them both on top of -C.] Dr. Forrester: You know, aside from the whole Sigma pathogen thing, these things are exquisitely made. Hard to believe that they're just bone and hair. [He gently caresses the surface of -C] Even monsters can have feelings. [He pauses again, then looks up at the camera, his hands still resting on the surface of -C] I think that Lucien really did care about the Marquesa. Dr. Golzar: We've been over this. Dutoit wasn't human anymore. He was only using her to get what he wanted. Dr. Forrester: [shaking his head] Sure, he had an ulterior motive. But why would he make -B for her, out of his own ribs? That had to have been painful as hell. And the attention to detail? It had to have taken hours, carefully growing each element. [He steps to the side and picks up SCP-3862-B, turning it over in his hands] Dr. Forrester: Even if it is bone, this represents a level of craftsmanship that- [He suddenly drops -B the few inches to the table, and clutches at his right glove.] Dr. Golzar: Jaime. Jaime! What's going on? [Dr. Forrester turns away from the camera, shaking his head and staring at his right hand.] Dr. Golzar: Jaime, answer please. I'm a heartbeat away from dousing that room with the aerosol, fucking- Dr. Forrester: [Interrupting, quietly] No, Samira. Don't do that. These gloves are over two centimeters thick. How…? Dr. Golzar: Damnit, Jaime. I'm pulling the plug on this. Get out of there now. [Dr. Forrester shakes his head and turns back to the camera, holding up his hand. In the center of his palm is a long sliver of bone, piercing directly through the glove.] Dr. Forrester: Too late, Samira. You know how nasty Sigma is. I can't risk contaminating the rest of the lab. [He laughs.] Well, I guess we'll see how fast it works now. [He coughs wetly and pauses for a moment.] Pretty damn fast, I'd say. [He pulls off both gloves, then proceeds to remove his helmet, instantly deflating the pressure in his suit. He draws a deep breath and looks up at the camera, a bit of bloody froth at the corner of his mouth.] Dr. Forrester: It's been a pleasure working with you, Samira. I want you to know that. [Dr. Forrester proceeds to conclude the test schedule on the SCP-3862 objects. In the process, he also collects multiple tissue samples from himself, as well as culture samples of the SCP-3862-Σ pathogen itself. Over the course of the next 62 minutes, he is shown to experience the symptoms of rapid-onset necrotizing fasciitis.7 At 48 minutes, he is no longer capable of conducting the experiment due to the loss of a majority of the tissue on his right arm. He sits down with his back against SCP-3862-C.] Dr. Forrester: You know, Samira? [He is interrupted by a violent coughing fit, and he spits a mass of something wet onto the floor beside him.] I think I figured something out, in all of this. Dr. Golzar: Yeah, Jaime? Dr. Forrester: We always- [cough] We always wondered what happened to Eleanore… and Lucien's baby. I… [He is caught by another coughing fit, and afterwards appears to be incapable of speech. He reaches around behind his head and retrieves one of the sealed petri dishes containing one of the SCP-3862-Σ pathogen samples from atop SCP-3862-C. He looks up at the camera and taps urgently on the dish with the exposed bone of his left index finger.] [END LOG] Afterword: At this point, Dr. Forrester laid down on the floor, where he expired 12 minutes later. A post-mortem examination of the room and the SCP-3862-B object revealed no obvious damage or origin point for the sliver that pierced Dr. Forrester's glove. This object has been catalogued as SCP-3862-B2, and has been secured along with -B. Act I: Et Ecce Equus Pallidus | In Memoria, Adytum Footnotes 1. DNA analysis indicates the presence of human DNA from two different individuals, one of which possessed markers indicating it was from haplogroup N (M231), a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup typical of Northern Eurasia. It is believed that the inhabitants of Adytum were among this haplogroup. 2. Analysis indicates that this is also human in origin, though the specific process by which this much keratin is produced is currently unknown, though is likely carnomantic in nature. 3. One of the Foundation precursor entities. 4. Likely a version of the Adytite word Lihakut'ak which means "fleshcrafting", the art of Carnomancy 5. Such as the SK-BIO Type 005 (see SCP-2095) 6. Principally the ribs, sternum, clavicles 7. Commonly known as flesh-eating disease, is an infection that results in the death of parts of the body's soft tissue. Symptoms include red or purple skin in the affected area, severe pain, fever, and vomiting. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3862" by MalyceGraves, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3863 | euclid | SCP-3863-1-D briefly following the installation of a sanitary rubber ring around the entrance created by SCP-3863. Item #: SCP-3863 Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-3863 is deferred to GoI-466 (Wilson's Wildlife Solutions) as per the Boring Agreement1. Instances of SCP-3863-1 are to be milked twice daily by personnel who are not allergic to bees. Hosts suitable for SCP-3863 instances are to be provided to Wilson's personnel in observance of Hatching Events. SCP-3863 mid-flight. Description: SCP-3863 is a species of honeybee similar to Apis mellifera which form a symbiotic relationship with mammals. SCP-3863 will burrow a sizable hole through the skin, flesh, and eventually, stomachs/smaller intestines of affected subjects, hereafter referred to as SCP-3863-1. Once inside, SCP-3863 will construct masses of hexagonal prisms similar to honeycombs within the host's digestive system. Despite this, instances do not appear to suffer pain or other negative side effects. Following the construction of an initial hive, SCP-3863 will continue to behave as non-anomalous bees and collect pollen and nectar. Following infestation, SCP-3863-1 instances will no longer need to consume their usual dietary material and are instead sustained primarily by a mixture of honey and nectar2. Though SCP-3863-1 become sterile post-infection, their udders will engorge as if they were feeding offspring. SCP-3863-1 instances require milking in a process similar to non-anomalous livestock. The substance produced is a viscous dark orange semi-liquid chemically identical to honey, though it possesses nearly triple the normal quantity of the nutritional mineral iron. This substance possesses no anomalous properties aside from its origin. The Foundation has permitted Wilson's Wildlife Solutions to harvest and sell SCP-3863-1 byproduct within the Three Portlands area (Please contact GoI-466 liaison Roger Tarpan for additional information). Enhanced color image of a newly constructed hive within SCP-3863-1-D's upper stomach. Hatching Events: Hatching Events occur between 11-13 months of the infestation of an SCP-3863-1 instance and are denoted by upwards of 80% of a colony's SCP-3863 instances swarming outside a host. This may last up to 72 hours, after which a queen instance will emerge accompanied by 10-15 drones in search of a new host. During this time, a mature dairy cow is to be introduced to the SCP-3863 containment facility and supervised from outside the enclosure until infestation takes place. Addendum- List of SCP-3863-1 instances in containment: SCP-3863-1 Designation Species Notes SCP-3863-1-A Dairy Cow Original SCP-3863 colony found in Boring, Oregon. SCP-3863-1-B Goat Accidental instance of SCP-3863-1. First known instance of infection. SCP-3863-1-C Dairy Cow First successful Foundation-created instance of SCP-3863-1. SCP-3863-1-D Dairy Cow Next instance creation is due 10/10/2019 SCP-3863-1-E3 Human Formerly WWS employee Jason Corthon, additional accidental instance. Expresses mild discomfort during milking but has not reported any other negative effects in regards to SCP-3863 or its conversion into an instance of SCP-3863-1. Footnotes 1. Following the Ursus Maritimus Incident of 2008, the Boring Agreement was created as a binding document which allows Wilson's Wildlife Solutions to handle the containment of Euclid or Safe fauna based anomalies within Clackamas County under supervision of the SCP Foundation. 2. Research into the possibility of SCP-3863 evolving this trait to create more space in the stomachs by removing the need for a rumen in their hosts is currently ongoing. 3. Currently contained at Site-64.

SCP-3864 | safe | Item #: SCP-3864 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3864 is to be hung on a wall in a standard containment chamber. Outside of scheduled tests, SCP-3864 is to be covered with a thick black cloth at all times. Should SCP-3864 grow too large to be completely covered by this cloth, D-Class personnel are to be dispatched immediately with an appropriately sized replacement. SCP-3864's containment chamber is to be kept well-lit and monitored via an infrared camera to ensure that it remains completely covered at all times. A decibel meter is to be placed no less than 15 cm from SCP-3864’s surface. Any changes should be reported to the researcher in charge, which is currently Dr. Taylor Itkin at the time of this writing. Entry into SCP-3864's containment chamber requires Level-3 clearance. All personnel are required to wear infrared goggles while in SCP-3864’s containment chamber. Description: SCP-3864 is an oil painting of an individual. The subject, coloration, and size are all subject to change. The only constants in the appearance of SCP-3864 are that the individual in the portrait is always a human, and testing shows the paint to always be oil based. At no point has more than one subject been witnessed inside of SCP-3864. SCP-3864 gives off a heat signature of 37° Celsius, similar to that of the average human body temperature. This heat signature is not centered on a certain portion of the painting (such as the individual inside), but rather is given off by the painting in its entirety. SCP-3864 is safe to view through infrared goggles or filters. When a subject (henceforth referred to as SCP-3864-1) views SCP-3864 directly, within 15 minutes SCP-3864-1 will begin to gradually lose all pigmentation and most body heat. At this time, the likeness of SCP-3864-1 will begin to appear in SCP-3864. SCP-3864-1 will not be bothered by these processes. Within 30 minutes, SCP-3864-1 will become completely void of all pigmentation and have an average body temperature of 10° Celsius, as well as SCP-3864 showing a full likeness of SCP-3864-1. SCP-3864-1 will then die of severe dehydration and hypothermia. There is no recorded method of halting or slowing these processes. Although the body of SCP-3864-1 will become inanimate and resemble a corpse, the consciousness of SCP-3864-1 is thought to be transferred into SCP-3864. This is evidenced by the likeness of SCP-3864-1 inside of SCP-3864 to be able to change poses and “move” – though no record shows the likeness of SCP-3864-1 to be moving while being observed – in ways that sometimes appear to be attempts at communication or escape from SCP-3864. Likenesses of SCP-3864-1 inside of SCP-3864 also appear to be capable of verbal communication. It is unclear whether this is SCP-3864-1 communicating or simply an imitation by SCP-3864. Attempts at communication are currently underway. Addendum: SCP-3864 was recovered on 5/18 by MTF Eta-10 from [REDACTED], Virginia. The Foundation became aware of SCP-3864’s existence when Foundation staff planted in local police units were notified of multiple missing persons reports supposedly linked to viewing a painting. Upon securing SCP-3864, members of MTF Eta-10 were able to confirm with neighboring residents that SCP-3864-1 was in fact the man who owned the house SCP-3864 was recovered from. All those who confirmed this later appeared in SCP-3864, having viewed it directly. A Class-C amnestic was administered to all neighboring residents to cover the disappearances. + Show Interview Logs - Hide Interview Logs Interview A – 5/21/17 Subject A: D-3976 Subject B: SCP-3864-1 (formerly D-3977) Interviewer: Dr. Taylor Itkin Foreword: Subject B has only recently appeared in SCP-3864. Subject A and Subject B are former cellmates. Subject A has been instructed to attempt contact with Subject B. A high-gain microphone has been placed in front of SCP-3864. Interviewer is speaking to Subject A through an earpiece. <Begin Log> Interviewer: Please approach SCP-3864. Subject A: Terry? Subject B: [INCOMPREHENSIBLE] Subject A: What? (To Interviewer) I can’t understand what he’s saying. Interviewer: Then get closer. To it. Subject A: Terry, are you there? Subject B: [INCOMPREHENSIBLE] Subject A: I can’t understand him! The damn veil is muffling his voice. Muffled conversation between researchers Interviewer: You may remove the cloth from SCP-3864. Make sure your goggles are on. Heavy thud as the veil hits the floor Subject B: Jesus, finally! I can’t breathe behind that thing. Subject A: Terry? Subject B: Who else would it be, dipshit? Subject A: Christ, I didn’t think I’d hear from you again! Subject B: Is it the fact that I’m made of paint? It’s the fact that I’m made of paint, isn’t it? Interviewer: Ask it if it knows what happened. Subject A: Does, uh, does that mean you know what happened? Subject B: If you mean becoming part of a painting, yeah, I know what happened. Interviewer: Why isn’t this fact alarming to it? Ask it that. Subject A: You seem rather calm about it, you know. Subject B: Lenny, in all honesty, if I had to choose between possible Keter testing and being stuck inside a damn painting? I’m fine where I am. It’s not that bad in here. I do kind of miss burgers, though. Subject A: Burgers? Subject B: I would kill for a bacon cheeseburger right now. Interviewer: Ask it if it needs to eat to survive. Subject A: Um, why? Are you hungry? Subject B: Not really. I just love fucking cheeseburgers, man. You know that. Subject A: Yeah, especially after you almost got killed after you mouthed off to that guard who wanted yours. Subject B: Noone messes with my fucking burger, Len. Noone. Subject A: I wouldn’t get between you and your burger if someone were pointing a gun to my head and telling me to. Subject B: See, you know how to keep yourself safe then. Subject A and Subject B share a laugh Subject B: Oh, man, do you remember that time Dug tried to bribe a guard to get out of Keter duty? Subject A: Yeah! Oh, man, he was so close, too. Too bad the guy’s supervisor came along. Subject B: Yeah, has that guy been back? Subject A: Who, the guard? No, my guess is that he got fired or terminated or some shit. Subject B: Bah, I feel no pity for him. Bastards are always shoving their guns in our faces, why should I give a fuck about him? Subject A: My sentiments exactly. Subject B: …If only Kelly hadn’t actually gotten away with bribing his way out… Subject A: Hey, something great came out of that, didn’t it? We- Interviewer: Alright, ask it if it’s comfortable where it is. Subject A: …Listen, Terry… you’re not, like, you’re not in pain or anything, right? You’re okay? Subject B: I mean, I’m comfortable enough. I’m just… lonely, I guess. No one’s here with me and most of the time that fucking cloth is covering my face. Subject A: I’m sorry, man… I miss you, for what it’s worth. Subject B: I miss you too! Subject A: I’m sorry you’re stuck in there, Terry. Subject B: It’s not your fault, Len. My goggles malfunctioned. No one could have called it. Subject A: Still… Subject B: Well, maybe… Subject A: Maybe what? Subject B: Maybe… you could come in with me? Interviewer: Get out of the containment chamber. Now. Subject A: Terry… I- I miss you, man, but I can’t. Subject B: Why not? I’m so alone, Len… Interviewer: Get him out of there. End the recording. <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-3864 was covered with the cloth and Subject A allowed to return to his cell to rest. Further testing authorized by [REDACTED]. Interview B – 5/24/17 Subject A: D-3976 Subject B: SCP-3864-1 (formerly D-3977) Interviewer: Dr. Taylor Itkin Foreword: Subject A has been instructed to reestablish contact with Subject B. Interviewer is speaking to Subject A through an ear piece. SCP-3864 has already been uncovered. <Begin Log> Subject B: Lenny! You’re back! Subject A: You can see me? Subject B: I may be in a painting, but whoever painted me was kind enough to give me eyes. Interviewer: Is SCP-3864-1 insinuating that another entity actually paints SCP-3864? Subject A: Someone painted you? Subject B: What? Subject A: You said whoever painted you gave you eyes. Subject B: It was a joke, idiot. Subject A: Oh. Interviewer: Ask it if time is passing. We want to know how time passes in the painting’s world. Subject A: Uh, so, Terry, what have you been doing the last couple of days? Eating cheeseburgers? Subject B: Oh, yeah, because I have access to- wait, the last couple of days? How fucking long have I been in here? Subject A: About a week, man. Subject B: A week? Jesus… Subject A: How could you not know? Subject B: I don’t know! I mean… the sun never goes down. At least not that I can see. I mean, there’s only 2 windows. Subject A: Can’t you go outside? Subject B: There’s no door. It’s like- I can see outside, I can see that there’s this whole world, but… this room is all I’m able to be in. Interviewer: Has it not attempted escaping the room? Subject A: Have you tried breaking the window or something? Getting out? Subject B: Either I’m really weak or everything is sort of, like, bolted down or something. I can’t lift any of the furniture. And I tried ramming the walls and stuff with my body but… nothing. That’s not even the weirdest part, Len. Interviewer: Get it to elaborate. Subject A: What is, then? Subject B: I know they’ve said I’m in a painting, but everything here looks real. Until I look out the window. Outside is… Subject A: Outside is what? Subject B: Well, it’s paint. It looks like it’s painted on a backdrop. Several moments of silence Subject B: Do you remember that night? Subject A: Which night? There are a lot of them. Subject B: The one a couple months ago. You were filling in for Kelly when he got out of Keter duty. Subject A: Oh… that night. Subject B: After that day of testing, I was just happy to be alive- Subject A: Terry… Subject B: And- and after you almost got hurt, I just- Subject A: Terry- Subject B: I felt things, Len. I’ve never felt like that before. Subject A: …I did too. Subject B: Lenny, I- Subject A: Don’t say it, Terry. Subject B: I want to say it, Len. I- Subject A: Don’t say it, Terry. You know I do, too, but… Subject B: But what? Subject A: You’re in a damn painting, Terry. You’re a piece of art and I’m… here. Subject B: I may be in a painting, but I still have feelings. I love you, Lenny. Subject A: Terry… <End Log> Closing Statement: At this point, Subject A was showing clear signs of distress. Interview was ended by Dr. Taylor Itkin. Subject A was allowed to return to his cell and rest. Further testing authorized by [REDACTED]. + Show Incident Log - Hide Incident Log Incident A – 5/29/17 A third interview between D-3976 and SCP-3864-1 (formerly known as D-3977) was attempted. Upon entering the containment chamber, SCP-3864-1 was able to convince D-3976 to “join” it inside of SCP-3864. D-3976 removed his infrared goggles, declaring his love for SCP-3864-1. Further contact between SCP-3864-1 and any person(s) to have been close to them is prohibited by order of [REDACTED]. + Show Test Log - Hide Test Log Test Log 1 - 10/29/2017 Procedure: A group of 5 D-Class personnel1 were given direct visual exposure of SCP-3864 at the same time. Outcome: D-3975 was the only subject to appear as SCP-3864-1. Communication with SCP-3864-1 was continuous for approximately 6 minutes before it was able to convince Dr. [REDACTED] to remove his goggles. Dr. [REDACTED] remains the current SCP-3864-1 instance at this time. Conclusion: SCP-3864 is able to loosely control or influence SCP-3864-1 to “lure” prey. Further testing pending O5 approval.

SCP-3865 | euclid | SCP-3865 Item #: SCP-3865 Special Containment Procedures: The property containing SCP-3865 is to be owned and guarded by a Foundation front company. Level-3 clearance is required in order to enter SCP-3865. UPDATE: SCP-3865 are not to be entered under any circumstances. SCP-3865 are to be monitored by armed security personnel at all times for any irregular activity. SCP-3865 are to be kept from filling to capacity with barley grains through the regular removal and incineration thereof. Description: SCP-3865 are a pair of concrete stave tower silos located within ██ square kilometers of abandoned farmland in ███████, Idaho. SCP-3865 are in a state of dilapidation, with heavy rusting and structural damage indicating sustained neglect. SCP-3865 are always filled with variable amounts of barley (Hordeum vulgare) grains. These grains do not decay, and will replenish themselves if removed. Any individual who is fully submerged in SCP-3865’s grain supply will emerge in an alternate and far less dilapidated version of SCP-38651 within an extradimensional location designated SCP-3865-1. Individuals may exit SCP-3865-1 and renter baseline reality through the same process. SCP-3865-1 is composed mostly of farmland and has a total surface area of ██ square kilometers, beyond which is an impenetrable white mist. The entirety of SCP-3865-1’s farmland is dedicated to growing barley. SCP-3865-1 is inhabited by two species, designated SCP-3865-2 and SCP-3865-3. SCP-3865-2 are humanoid organisms resembling "scarecrows". SCP-3865-2 vary from 1.4 to 2.2 meters in height, and are outwardly composed of dried barley and cloth. SCP-3865 are sentient, sapient, and capable of speech2, communicating in American English with pronounced midwestern accents. SCP-3865-2 have not been observed to age or expire, and do not regularly eat, drink, or sleep, instead dedicating most of their time toward the communal effort of harvesting barley grains and depositing them within SCP-3865-A3. Due to the constraints of their pre-industrial farming tools, the number of acres available, and the seasonal growth patterns of barley, this accumulation of grain is slow and gradual. SCP-3865-2 are generally friendly toward Foundation personnel, and can thus be approached without incident. (See Addendum 3865.2) SCP-3865-3 instances are physically identical to American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos). Like SCP-3865-2 instances, SCP-3865-3 instances do not require sustenance or sleep in any form. While they are not believed to be sapient, SCP-3865-3 instances are intelligent enough to understand and obey verbal commands from both SCP-3865-2 instances and Foundation personnel. Like SCP-3865-2 instances, SCP-3865-3 instances are primarily oriented toward the task of growing and harvesting barley. Addendum 3865.1: Interview Log 04/22/2016 Interviewer: Dr. Jorgensen (Head Researcher of SCP-3865) Subject: SCP-3865-2-24 (referred to by other instances as “Farmer Jeck”) Dr. Jorgensen: Excuse me, I was wondering if you would be able to answer some questions for me. SCP-3865-2-24: Sure thing, just hang on a sec. [SCP-3865-2-24 steps out of the barley field and places its pitchfork on the ground] SCP-3865-2-24: Alright, ask away. Dr. Jorgensen: Why do you and your people harvest barley and store it in those silos? [Dr. Jorgenson points at SCP-3865-A] You don’t seem to use it for food, so what purpose does it serve? SCP-3865-2-24: Why, we’re saving it all for the Harvest Festival! It should be coming up real soon, y’know. Dr. Jorgensen: I see, and what exactly is this “Harvest Festival”? SCP-3865-2-24: Why, it’s only our oldest and most important tradition! Every couple of hundred years or so, when we’ve collected enough grain to fill the silos, we celebrate by throwing an enormous party. You and your science friends should come, it’s not something you’ll want to miss. There’ll be singing and dancing and more food than you know what do do with! [laughs] Dr. Jorgensen: That sounds interesting. When will it be? SCP-3865-2-24: Probably later this year. The last few harvests have been a little low, with this cold spell and whatnot, but one more yield should do the trick. You’ll get a more formal invitation once it’s all planned out. Hope you can make it! [END TRANSCRIPT] Addendum 3865.2: Incident Report 12/09/2016 On 12/02/2016, a handwritten note emerged from SCP-3865, inviting Dr. Jorgensen and any other willing personnel to attend the “Harvest Festival”, which was to occur a week later at 5:00 pm4. Head Researcher Dr. Jorgensen, intending to study the cultural practices and significance of the festival, entered SCP-3865 at 4:55 pm, accompanied by Agent █████. Agent █████ emerged from SCP-3865 the following morning in a heavily disheveled state. Dr. Jorgensen was never recovered. The following is a transcript of footage recovered from Agent █████’s body camera. 4:55:47 pm: Dr. Jorgensen and Agent █████ emerge from SCP-3865-A 4:56:09 pm: Dr. Jorgensen and Agent █████ are greeted by several SCP-3865-2 instances, and are lead to an open field. 5:03:20 pm: An SCP-3865-2 instance can be seen playing a banjo while several other instances perform a dance resembling the hoedown. Dr. Jorgensen is encouraged to participate, and eventually obliges after writing some precursory observations in his notepad. Agent █████ watches, and is not approached by any SCP-3865-2 instances. 6:45:13 pm: SCP-3865-2 instances cease dancing, and move toward a distant barn. Dr. Jorgensen and Agent █████ follow. Dr. Jorgensen and Agent █████ enter the barn, where a large table can be seen holding several edible dishes5. The origin of these dishes is unknown. 6:46:31 pm: Dr. Jorgensen and Agent █████ sit at the table, along with the SCP-3865-2 instances. They are offered food, but politely decline. SCP-3865-2 instances can be seen inserting food into gaps in their cloth exterior. How or if this food is digested is unknown. 7:58:53 pm: Dinner concludes. Dr. Jorgensen and Agent █████ are lead back into the open field, along with all the SCP-3865-2 instances. They sit in a circle of wicker chairs that have been placed around a pile of dried barley approximately 3 meters in diameter. 8:00:04 pm: An SCP-3865-2 instance, hereafter designated SCP-3865-2-58, climbs on top of the barley pile and blows through an object resembling a cornucopia, producing a low, guttural tone. SCP-3865-2-58: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and congratulations on another successful harvest! [applause] We’ve put in a lot of hard work over the last several decades, through the good times and the bad, all for this one special night. Now, as much as we all enjoy the music and the dancing and the enormous feast that comes with each Harvest Festival, it is important to remember what this celebration is really about. It’s about friendship, kinship, and family. It’s about all of us coming together as a community to celebrate our roots, and to reap the outcome of our labor. With that in mind, I would like our honored guest for this evening, Dr. Jorgensen, to come up here and join me. [gestures to Dr. Jorgensen] 8:01:37 pm: Dr. Jorgensen politely declines at first, but is eventually lead onto the barley pile. SCP-3865-2-58: Dr. Jorgensen, on behalf of all of us, we humbly thank you for your contribution to the Harvest. 8:02:05 pm: SCP-3865-2-58 wraps its arms around Dr. Jorgensen's neck and squeezes violently. Several other SCP-3865-2 instances climb onto the barley pile to assist in restraining Dr. Jorgensen. 8:02:07 pm: Agent █████ draws his firearm and shoots several SCP-3865-2 instances. An unidentified red liquid can be seen leaking from their wounds, but they appear unfazed. 8:02:46 pm: Agent █████'s is separated from his gun, and is overpowered and restrained shortly thereafter by the crowd of SCP-3865-2 instances. 8:03:29 pm: Dr. Jorgensen ceases movement, and is presumed to be unconscious. SCP-3865-2-58 and the other SCP-3865-2 instances lay him down on the barley pile and walk out of view. 8:03:51 pm: SCP-3865-58 returns with a burning clump of barley stems, and throws it onto the barley pile, igniting it along with Dr. Jorgensen. Audience applauds. 8:04:38 pm: Black smoke begins to rise from the burning barley pile, congealing into several thousand SCP-3865-3 instances, which then fly out of view. At this time, a large number of SCP-3865-3 instances were seen emerging from SCP-3865. Security personnel were ordered to terminate as many instances as possible, but were largely unsuccessful. Terminated instances each held a single barley grain in their beak. SCP-3865 were empty following this event. Addendum 3865.2: Aftermath of Incident 12/09/2016 Over several months following Incident 12/09/2016, numerous anomalous phenomena were reported across the western and midwestern United States. These occurrences are presumed to be related to Incident 12/09/2016. Following these phenomena, Class-A amnestics were administered to all civilians involved, and SCP-3865's containment procedures were updated. The following is a list of reported phenomena: Feathers resembling those of Corvus brachyrhynchos were found in approximately ███,███ bedrooms on 12/10/2016. All bedrooms belonged to or were currently being inhabited by females between the ages of 13 and 45. In the months following 12/09/2016, approximately ██,███ females reported excreting variable amounts of barley fibers, cloth, and foreign human tissue during menstruation. Genetic sequencing of tissue samples revealed portions of DNA matching that of Dr. Jorgenson. Between 08/11/2017 and 10/19/2017, approximately █,███ females unexpectedly entered labor, each birthing a single SCP-3865-2 instance shortly thereafter. Birthed SCP-3865-2 instances measured between 46 cm and 56 cm, and were fully mobile. Once birthed, SCP-3865-2 instances traveled along the shortest possible route toward the location of SCP-3865, only deviating from said route when faced with an obstruction. Through the use of incendiary devices, all birthed SCP-3865-2 instances were successfully incapacitated and/or terminated before reaching SCP-3865. Autopsies later revealed that captured instances each contained a stillborn human fetus beneath their barley exterior. Addendum 3865.3: Recovered Note Transcript 11/26/17 On 11/26/17, approximately one month after the enactment of updated containment procedures, an envelope emerged from SCP-3865. Within the envelope was a handwritten note, along with a slightly charred head of barley. The note read as follows: Greetings scientists, It appears a plague of vermin has wiped out our most recent harvest. A plague that continues to hinder our growth by stealing our supply of seeds. Now, you folks may be men of science, but we know a thing or two about the Earth, and how to tame and cultivate its soils. We will do everything in our power to eliminate these vermin, until all that remain are their fertile ashes, from which we will reap our most bountiful harvest yet. See you next Festival. Footnotes 1. Designated SCP-3865-Alternate or SCP-3865-A 2. The mechanism with which they accomplish this is unknown. 3. A change in SCP-3865-A’s grain supply correlates with an equal change in SCP-3865’s grain supply. 4. Pacific Standard Time 5. Breadsticks, mashed potatoes, and an unidentified form of cooked poultry are all visible. |
SCP-3866 | safe | by Captain Kirby Recovered instances of SCP-3866 Item #: SCP-3866 Special Containment Procedures: All known instances of SCP-3866 are to be kept in a secure container at Site-23. Testing may only take place if a long-term humanoid containment pod is available. Description: SCP-3866 refers to a group of unmarked pharmaceutical tablets recovered during the raid of an amateur medical facility in Palm Beach, Florida (See Addendum SCP-3866-1 for details). Ingestion of SCP-3866 causes the subject to immediately enter a hibernation-like state, lowering brain activity immensely and slowing the subject's heart-rate to approximately one beat every thirty-four days. It is currently unknown exactly how long an individual can survive in this state, although estimates project that a human can survive for at least 3,000 years1. There is no known method to achieve this state with modern medical equipment. Addendum SCP-3866-1: On 04/18/20██, MTF Epsilon-6 ("Village Idiots") commenced an investigation of an unnamed amateur medical facility offering euthanasia in Palm Beach, Florida. The majority of the patients who approached the facility sought physician-assisted suicide. The investigation was initiated after the onset of an ΩK-Class end-of-death scenario. Due to the nature of the Scenario, it was necessary to determine if the operation was fraudulent or anomalous. Monitoring of the facility showed that the operation was, to some degree, both fraudulent and anomalous. It did not terminate the patients, and what results it did achieve, were obtained through anomalous means. Once patients ingested SCP-3866, employees of the facility would bury the body behind the facility. MTF Epsilon-6 raided the facility on 04/29/20██, and apprehended all personnel. This included the leader of the operation, Jacob Possman. A series of text messages were recovered from Possman's phone between him and an individual labeled in Possman's contacts as "dado"2. Ok, I was told to message you directly about details about the medicine, but just making sure, you talked to Alex Bennings right? yes. spoke with bening. good talk. So, are you able to make pills for euthanasia? uthanasia? y u need asian pills? No, like… like pills used for putting people down? like cyanide? Sorta? But less painful. Like a peaceful sleep. o. yes yes i have pill 4 u. longest sleep. Good. How long do you think it will take to get the first batch to me? depends on wether. i dont like rain. What's rain gotta do with it? no fun walking in rain. would have to deliver on different day. Wait, are you delivering them yourself? By foot? u asked how long for me to get to you. No, like… how long until you'll have the pills made. o. they done. Really? yes. And they work? hamster still asleep. Wow, you really do work as fast as they say. this is y u trust dado. Alright, we'll come pick them up then. You got somewhere to meet? ask bening. be there soon. Ok, see you there in an hour. Interrogation of Possman yielded the exact address of the meeting. At the address was a small apartment containing only a phone, a half-eaten donut, three empty Amazon delivery boxes, and a mattress. Addendum SCP-3866-2: Between 07/03/20██ and 07/16/20██, civilians reported vocalizations from the area behind the medical facility, generally in the form of screaming, weeping, or retching. Investigation into the disturbance determined that the noise was caused by 541 buried ex-patients of the medical facility, 491 of whom had been buried without a casket. After the patients were exhumed, medical personnel extracted all soil, minerals, and insects from their bodies to remove evidence of the event. Personnel then administered the patients amnestics, and returned them to society with appropriate cover stories. Footnotes 1. This assumes the subject is a baseline human and is given an adequate oxygen and nutrition supply 2. Denoted below as the text in red. |
SCP-3867 | euclid | close Info X ⚠️ Content warning: This work of fiction involves scenes which depict or allude to topics which may be particularly distressing for some readers. Animal Abuse Gore ⚠️ content warning Item #: SCP-3867 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation web crawlers are to track and erase any mention of SCP-3867 on the internet. Artificial Intelligence Construct TSAT has been programmed to monitor the Dark Web for any information relating to SCP-3867 or its creator(s). Description: SCP-3867 is an anomalous website under the domain 'www.scpd.♡♡♡', named 'Sweet Cats & Perfect Dogs!'. When visited, SCP-3867 will load a unique page displaying an image of its visitor's pet and describing the most recent actions taken by the subject of the image1. When visited by a subject without a dog or cat, SCP-3867 will instead display an image and the most recent actions taken by an animal available for adoption at the nearest animal shelter. Subjects will then be prompted to adopt the animal in question in order to 'experience these cute moments firsthand'. SCP-3867 Testing Log Subject: Researcher Jade Result: Sweet Cats & Perfect Dogs! Be vewwy vewwy quiet! Franklin just snored a little bit but didn't wake up. He seems to be dreaming about sleeping. What a lazy, lazy boy! Make sure to pet him as soon as you get home, he misses you and wants to sit next to you as you unwind! Subject: Researcher Watts Note: Researcher Watts does not own a pet. Result: Sweet Cats & Perfect Dogs! I hate Mondays! Dexter is pretty sure he just saw something dart across the wall, but he thinks it might just be that weird bright thing he can never seem to catch. He decided that rather than waste his efforts in grabbing the sneaky culprit now, he's going to let things play out. Sorry Dexter, but that was just light coming in through the window! If you like Dexter and want to experience such cuteness in person, you can adopt him from the Chattanooga Cat Rescue, where he is currently in a Foster Home! Subject: Researcher Matthias Note: Researcher Matthias does not own a pet, but expressed his parents owned a cat. Result: Sweet Cats & Perfect Dogs! Rain, rain, go away! Sommer's sunbathing was just interrupted by a raindrop. Uh oh, Sommer, you best find somewhere to hide before it really starts coming down! I hear underneath the porch it's nice and dry! Post Examination Notes: It appears SCP-3867 is capable of identifying other animals the subject is personally attached to. - Dr. Yerko Subject: Researcher Alces Note: Researcher Alces has not owned a pet since age 16. Result: Sweet Cats & Perfect Dogs! Can't wait to be with you again. Pinto is playing in the fields, passing the time until it's your turn to meet with her again in front of the rainbow bridge. She's happy and running to her heart's content! Post Examination Notes: Research into a possible connection between SCP-3867 and SCP-3737 is currently ongoing.- Dr. Yerko Subject: D-1221 Note: D-1221 was selected for testing due to their history of animal abuse. Result: Sweet Cats & Perfect Dogs! Why? Nala wondered why her best friend was putting her in a sack, then wondered why she kept hearing all those funny noises, until she wondered why it was so hard to move all of a sudden. Nala stopped wondering after she stopped breathing. Post Examination Notes: This is the third time the messages condemned subjects who have committed some form of atrocity towards animals. I'd like to see what would happen when SCP-3867 is tested on someone who has neutralized a large number of them. - Dr. Yerko Subject: Dr. Yeatley Note: Dr. Yeatley was selected due to their position as lead SCP-1459 researcher. Result: Stop Culling Puppies, Dick. You will totally go to hell for this. A blender? Really? It looks like a goddamn jamba juice. Footnotes 1. Following extensive testing involving the surveillance of testing personnel's pets, the described actions were found to be accurate when not describing esoteric actions.

SCP-3868 | keter | Item #: SCP-3868 Special Containment Procedures: At least one physical and digital copy of each SCP-3868-A iteration is to be hosted at Site-43's Archival Wing. Due to the low quantity of physical copies of the Constitution of New Zealand outside of Foundation control, those replaced by SCP-3868-A iterations may be passed off as hoaxes or confiscated by Foundation assets embedded in the local police force. Online copies of SCP-3868-A should be taken down through standard protocols. SCP-3868-B instances, once conclusively identified, should be detained and sent to Site-43 for further questioning regarding Contingency 73-Waitangi. For the sake of containment, SCP-3868-B instances are non-anomalous and should be treated as E-Class employees, i.e. sequestered from the general staff population, but still treated as Foundation members. Liaisons with the Department of Temporal Anomalies should be notified of any developments with regards to 73-Waitangi and information associated with SCP-3868. In the case of a K-Class Scenario occuring as a result of 73-Waitangi, the text of the Constituion of New Zealand should be updated to the latest iteration of SCP-3868-A where possible. Description: SCP-3868 refers to an annually recurring event that occurs on the 17th of January and has occured every year since the official codification of the Constitution of New Zealand in 2009. During an SCP-3868 event, all extant physical and digital copies of the Constitution of New Zealand are replaced with modified versions, designated SCP-3868-A; in addition to this, one currently-serving political officer of the New Zealand Parliament will be replaced by a non-anomalous human designated SCP-3868-B. SCP-3868-A's text varies from that of the non-anomalous Constitution of New Zealand by the addition of a singular section; this section allows the Foundation to take emergency control of the New Zealand army in the event of certain circumstances designated "Contingency 73-Waitangi". Only partial information about 73-Waitangi is available, in the form of excerpts of the specification quoted in SCP-3868-A: examples of circumstances falling under 73-Waitangi include The re-election of deceased Prime Minister Richard Seddon The successful, legally-endorsed secession of Victoria and Tasmania from Australia The official declaration of war between Montenegro and New Zealand While excerpts of the specification for 73-Waitangi match the official format of other Foundation contingencies, no such contingency exists at the time of writing. Whatever anomaly 73-Waitangi is associated with or designed to protect against is unknown to the Foundation at present: the only source of information available to the Foundation regarding 73-Waitangi is the SCP-3868-B instances themselves. SCP-3868-B instances universally claim to be staff of the Department of Temporal Anomalies, assigned to ensure that the Constitution of New Zealand is altered so as to avert a K-Class Scenario caused by lack of preparation against 73-Waitangi. Their claim to be Foundation employees is corroborated by their possession of employee ID numbers that are valid, although they correspond to no known members of personnel currently on RAISA's employee roster. Due to their purported inability to carry physical objects with them during the replacement caused by SCP-3868, specifics about the anomaly's location, mechanism of effect and containment procedures not pertaining to 73-Waitangi are highly limited. Several key points about the 73-Waitangi anomaly agreed upon by all SCP-3868-B instances to date include the following pieces of information: The anomaly in question is "royally bound" (through geas or another unknown anomalous method) by the Governor-General to the text of the Constitution of New Zealand. Investigation of current and past Governor-Generals has shown no concrete signs of anomalous involvement. First signs of the K-Class Scenario include the use of an obscure constitutional loophole to deploy the New Zealand Army, necessitating the powers granted by SCP-3868-A iterations. The New Zealand national rugby team is correlated in some way to the anomaly. As of the time of writing only one player in the New Zealand national rugby team has demonstrated concrete evidence of anomalous properties: he was neutralised in 2003 by Global Occult Coalition forces masquerading as Australian rugby players. Currently, the Department of Temporal Anomalies is conducting research using anomalies such as SCP-711 to try and ascertain further information on the K-Class scenario and anomalies involved with 73-Waitangi, with additional assistance provided by the Department of Theological Affairs' contacts in GoI-055Y ("Australian Church of Australia"). Attempts to negotiate Global Occult Coalition support in the event of an NZK-Class (SCP-3868-Caused) Scenario are ongoing. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3868" by Taffeta, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3869 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3869 Special Containment Procedures: Mirrors of the websites YouTube and Bandcamp are to be hosted on an isolated server farm located on Site-15. Foundation agents implanted in internet service providers around North America are to monitor web activity from the 203.0.██.███ family of IP addresses. When the public instances of the aforementioned sites are requested by these addresses, they are to be redirected to the foundation-hosted mirrors. Description: SCP-3869 is an anomalous YouTube channel by the username "Mr. High Quality." The videos on the channel feature still images of video game logos, as well as music playing in the background (hereafter SCP-3869-1) which functions as a low-grade cognitohazard. Instances of SCP-3869-1 often vary greatly from the music that the upload titles and descriptions claim them to be, and are at times wholly unrelated to the original piece. SCP-3869's anomalous properties manifest when an instance of SCP-3869-1 is opened and allowed to play, at the minimum, to the point where the instance diverges from the original track. If an affected subject engages with the video game from which the SCP-3869-1 instance is claimed to originate, the audio from SCP-3869-1 will replace the original track within the game through anomalous means. At this point, secondary anomalies will manifest, often relevant in nature to the edits featured in the anomalous video. Though the primary anomaly can be observed regardless of prior exposure to SCP-3869-1, the replaced music in the context of the game does not act as its own instance of SCP-3869-1. Addendum 3869-1: On 05/22/17, the "channel description" area of SCP-3869's profile, which was previously blank, updated to contain the following text. Holy hell! You've just found yourself your very own Mr. High Quality by The Gamers Against Weed! Please read the channel description. Who is Dr. Wondertainment? Find them all and become Mr. Gamer! 01. Mr. Literal Serial Killer 02. Mr. Normie 03. Mr. Bernie Sanders 04. Mr. Get Anything For Free In Any Shop 05. Mr. High Quality ✔ 20. Mr. Sex Number 21. Mr. Heavenly Virtues 22. Mr. Deadly Sins 23. Mr. Original Character 24. Mr. D.A.R.E. 25. Mrs. Gentrification 26. Ms. Mad About Video Games 27. Mr. Meme 28. Mr. Ominous (discontinued) 29. Mr. Destiny 30. Mr. Monty Python And The Holy Grail 31. Ms. Zapatista 32. Mr. Hax 33. Mr. Just Has The Tattoo 34. Mr. Top Text and Mr. Bottom Text 35. Mr. Finale Addendum 3869-2: Unless otherwise indicated, testing was carried out featuring an unmodified version of the game in question, on an unmodified version of the relevant platform. For each test, one D-class was exposed to SCP-3869-1 before testing, and one was used as a control group. + Show notable test logs - Hide Test 1 SCP-3869-1 instance title: Overworld - Super Mario Bros. Differences from original track: Vocal track added, identified as "Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dogg, edited to match the tempo of the background track. Test results: Subject became easily agitated by discussion related to the use of narcotics, but personality remained otherwise unchanged. Miscellaneous notes: After testing, subject expressed frustration with a nonfunctional door supposedly encountered in the game. There are no doors in Super Mario Bros. Test 2 SCP-3869-1 instance title: Snake Eater - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Differences from original track: Vocals recreated with poorly-modulated text-to-speech software. Test results: Subject's voice replaced with one bearing striking resemblance to poorly-modulated text-to-speech software. Miscellaneous notes: N/A Test 3: SCP-3869-1 instance title: Let's Go Shopping (Beta Version) - PAYDAY 2 Differences from original track: All tones produced by the lead synth normalized to the note of C3. Test results: Inconclusive. Miscellaneous notes: Testing concluded that the different "versions" of a song are indicative of a non-standard context. Beta version of PAYDAY 2 could not be secured for further testing with this instance. Test 4 SCP-3869-1 instance title: Last Surprise (OST Version) - Persona 5 Differences from original track: Continues normally until the first line of the chorus, during which the vocals cut out mid-sentence, and the image in the video cuts to a blank screen. Test results: Subject reported vision rapidly degrading at the point of divergence from the original song, resulting in total loss of eyesight. Blindness persisted after playback was stopped. Miscellaneous notes: Anomalous effects did not activate while playing the game in question, and instead manifested while playing an album featuring the game's original soundtrack. This confirms the hypothesis posited after Test 3. Test 13 SCP-3869-1 instance title: BFG Division - DOOM (2016) Differences from original track: Japanese vocal track added, belonging to a separate, unidentified song, which does not match the instrumental in key, tempo, or time signature. Test results: Subject reported a steady, continuous increase in ambient temperature despite the control subject reporting no such alteration. By the time the duration of the song had elapsed, the subject lost consciousness, displaying symptoms analogous to frostbite. The onset of hypothermic symptoms was slowed, but not reversible through conventional means until 3-4 minutes after the song stopped playing in the game. Subject likely would not have recovered without direct intervention. Miscellaneous notes: Control subject played game while exposed subject watched. Control subject experienced no adverse effects. Replacement phenomenon found not to act on its own as an instance of SCP-3869-1. Test 20 SCP-3869-1 instance title: Slow Ride - Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Differences from original track: Track gradually slows down to a minimum of 25% of original speed. Test results: Subject reaction speed increased at a rate consistent with song's reduction in tempo. Testing stopped before the song could play to completion, but effects continued even after the console was unplugged. Subject expressed anxious behavior before attempting to escape. Subject moved at superhuman speeds, and avoided small arms fire from security team, but ultimately collapsed from a grand mal seizure. Subject's heart rate rapidly increased until chest cavity exploded after █ minutes of unconsciousness. Miscellaneous notes: Testing put on temporary standby. Addendum 3869-3: On 5/30/2017, the Foundation took notice of a video on SCP-3869 determined not to be cognitohazardous in nature. Instead, it directed the viewer to a page on Bandcamp, which featured an album of self-proclaimed "Greatest Hits" from the channel available for free download. The Foundation secured the album in .zip form before taking the page down. Containment protocols updated to include a locally-hosted mirror of Bandcamp in addition to the existing YouTube facsimile. The tracks on the album also function as effective instances of SCP-3869-1, with the difference that the tracks, rather than being attributed to the source game's composer, are attributed to various miscellaneous usernames, likely the users who contributed the song edits; this would mean that SCP-3869 is not the work of an individual, but rather a collaborative project. Further analysis indicates that the authors credited on the album do not match any known users found in any Gamers Against Weed chat logs in the Foundation's possession. Along with the listed tracks on the album, an additional password-protected archive labeled "heyjude.zip" (detailed in Document SCP-3869-A) was included inside the album's own archive. Addendum 3869-4: The following is an excerpt from existing chat logs stored on the Foundation database, found to pertain to SCP-3869, from a private chat room hosted by GoI-#5869 "Gamers Against Weed." + Show chat log - Hide May 23, 2017 bluntfiend: Okay, let's put this one to rest once and for all. bluntfiend: Gun to your head, which would you rather have on a pizza instead of real cheese: Velveeta, Easy Cheese, Cheez Whiz, or Kraft Singles?

SCP-3870 | keter | Item #: SCP-3870 Special Containment Procedures: A specialized surveillance team of at least fifteen personnel is to be assigned to monitor news reports and traffic camera accident footage for SCP-3870 appearances in public areas. Should SCP-3870 be identified with relation to any accidents involving injury or property damage, the surveillance team is to distribute misinformation in the area accordingly and administer amnestics as necessary. Any individuals determined to have encountered SCP-3870 are to be monitored for unusual behavior. Any companies associated with ice-cream products within 100 kilometers of SCP-3870's current ICU location are to be routinely evaluated for pertinent information. Incidents of severe employee injuries are to be reported and investigated by the surveillance team. The physical comatose body of SCP-3870 is to remain in the intensive care unit of a Foundation-affiliated hospital.1 The room SCP-3870 is assigned to is to be equipped with hidden cameras, and staff caring for the patient are to ensure that the room is empty of visitors for at least one hour each day. All expenses required for ongoing treatment are to be paid for under the guise of a philanthropist fund for medical research. Any family members seeking to visit the ICU are to be properly screened and administered low-dose amnestics upon departure. Encounters with SCP-3870-1 are to be documented in detail. Should any Foundation personnel be approached by SCP-3870-1, they are to refuse all offers of contractual agreements or discussion unless properly trained in the relevant interviewing technique. A dossier of acceptable terms and conditions for negotiation is to be provided to all staff assigned to the SCP-3870 case, and kept updated as new information on SCP-3870-1 is acquired. Description: SCP-3870 is a Japanese-American human male, appearing approximately 13-14 years of age, currently rendered comatose due to a traffic accident2 involving an ice-cream truck collision. Despite its apparent non-responsive state, SCP-3870 is noted to periodically disappear from and reappear in its ICU room at the █████ █████ Hospital. During the periods of disappearance, sightings of SCP-3870 in public locations have been observed. These sightings usually involve the individual riding a bicycle identical to the one recovered from the scene of the aforementioned accident. While SCP-3870 manifestations tend to occur within a 65-kilometer radius of the █████ █████ Hospital, it is currently unknown if there is a maximum range of its manifestation ability. The fastest speed SCP-3870 has been observed to reach while on its bicycle is 20 km/hour. Attempts to accost SCP-3870 while manifested outside its ICU facility have indicated that it is highly resistant to most types of physical damage when active, and can trigger a return to its comatose state and location if fatigued. The minimum amount of time in-between successive manifestations is noted to be approximately 11 hours. While active, SCP-3870 does not respond to any attempts to communicate with it. SCP-3870 exhibits aggressive behaviors towards specific individuals, namely workers associated with some form of ice-cream product. The aggression (exhibited in the form of stalking, bodily harm, attempts to cause vehicular accidents, and framing individuals for additional crimes) seems to be directed equally at all of the aforementioned individuals regardless of their background history. Based on current Foundation records, the most common tactic used by SCP-3870 to inflict harm involves simply colliding with its target3 while riding its bicycle at high speeds. Thus far, the Foundation has attributed ██ life-threatening injuries to SCP-3870. Occasionally, SCP-3870 will severely injure a worker instead of attempting to completely incapacitate them. This is believed to occur in order to aid SCP-3870-1. SCP-3870-1 is the designation assigned to an entity that has been briefly observed following SCP-3870 encountering and non-fatally dispatching one of its targets. SCP-3870-1 appears to be an androgynous humanoid, possessing a series of small irregular sharp protrusions along its forehead and shoulders. SCP-3870-1 is typically attired in various suits, apparently following the dress code of a Japanese salaryman. SCP-3870-1 has been noted to spontaneously appear and communicate with the worker targeted by SCP-3870, speaking for a few minutes before offering a handshake and departing on foot. Attempts to track SCP-3870-1 following these interactions have proven unsuccessful. When questioned by Foundation agents, injured civilians who encountered SCP-3870-1 reported only remembering that "a nice person" offered them assistance. Follow-up interviews have only uncovered minimal details, though affected individuals consistently respond that SCP-3870-1 provided them some form of treatment that allowed them to recover from their injuries quickly. None of the interviewees could ascertain how they were able to compensate SCP-3870-1 for the service, but all individuals interviewed expressed a satisfaction with the transaction and a desire to seek further assistance from SCP-3870-1. Very little information is known about SCP-3870-1, and as such communication has not been established. (Refer to Addendum SCP-3870-2.) Addendum SCP-3870-1: SCP-3870 was first brought to Foundation attention following a series of 911 emergency calls intercepted over the course of three months, mentioning a child on a bicycle appearing and colliding with an ice-cream truck. In all recorded cases, the driver of the vehicle sustained serious injuries, but was noted to have recovered unusually quickly. Subsequent investigations of the incidents revealed a consistency in the reported physical appearance of the child individual involved. Using this information, cross-referenced with prior accident records, the Foundation was able to match the physical description of the child to the comatose body of SCP-3870. The legal guardians of SCP-3870, who remained uninvolved in the media coverage of these accidents, did not present any resistance to the transfer of the individual to a Foundation-owned hospital. Addendum SCP-3870-2: On ██/██/20██, SCP-3870-1 spontaneously manifested in the room where the comatose body of SCP-3870 was held. Dr. Brickston, a Level-2 researcher assigned to the case, was present during the manifestation. Foundation specialists were later brought in to routinely provide guidance on how to best interact with the entity. Following a period of negotiation with the support of a Foundation legal team, Dr. Brickston has since negotiated an ongoing contract with the entity: it was agreed upon that in exchange for SCP-3870-1 being present for 30 minutes of interview time every 30 days, Brickston would provide a detailed account of SCP-3870's current health and any medical developments. Addendum SCP-3870-3: SCP-3870-1 has since manifested approximately once a month for recurring interviews. The following excerpt is from the third interview, in which the Foundation was first able to obtain additional information regarding SCP-3870's motivations. + Show audio log excerpt - Hide audio log Dr. Brickston: Did you make a deal with this boy? SCP-3870-1: Yes. But if you want to know more, you will tell me more about yourself. Tell me why are you keeping him. Dr. Brickston: It's my job to take care of him. If I can learn more about what happened to him and what he can do, that will help me keep him in good health. Tell me about how you make your deals. SCP-3870-1: Hmm… why are you his caretaker, rather than his family elders? I want your promise that you will not harm him. Then I will tell you more about myself. Dr. Brickston: I promise that I won't hurt him. Tell me what kind of deals you make? SCP-3870-1: All sorts. I can bring favor in riches, heal illness, give muscular strength, great beauty. Make people forget, make people disappear. Bring back the too-soon dead, for a good price. No immortality or flawless love, no human can pay for those. Dr. Brickston: If you're so powerful, why do you make deals? SCP-3870-1: When I collect a payment, I am granted the power to fulfill the contract. I am just a means of exchange. Most of the payments go to those I serve. Dr. Brickston: What did the boy pay you? SCP-3870-1: This boy… I made my first exception for. He has a special contract. Dr. Brickston: Why did you let such a young boy make a special contract? SCP-3870-1: The boy wanted more than he could pay for, and he asked if he could assist me. He is the first to ever ask. The boy is a good worker, even if his parents have forgotten my kind, even if he does not know what I am. Dr. Brickston: Did he ask you to heal his injuries? SCP-3870-1: No, he desired something else. What will you offer me to tell you? Further discussion is ongoing regarding how to continue low-risk interaction with SCP-3870-1. At present, the Foundation's foremost concern is finding some means of intervention to prevent further casualties caused by SCP-3870, without violating contractual agreements set by SCP-3870-1. Addendum SCP-3870-4: On ██/██/20██, SCP-3870-1 did not manifest for its scheduled monthly interview, and SCP-3870 disappeared from its room during the usual interview time. After running a facial-recognition satellite sweep of the surrounding area, the surveillance team assigned to SCP-3870 reported that both SCP-3870 and SCP-3870-1 had been found at a cemetery in close proximity to the █████ █████ Hospital. SCP-3870 and SCP-3870-1 appeared to be speaking together while visiting a grave, later identified as belonging to the deceased brother of SCP-3870. Due to the parents of SCP-3870 not being involved with the lives of SCP-3870 and the subject's brother, discussions have arisen regarding placing SCP-3870 in Foundation custody. Thus far, no actions have been taken regarding these discussions. Addendum SCP-3870-5: On ██/██/20██, when SCP-3870-1 manifested for its usual interview, it was accompanied by a young male child later confirmed to be the formerly-deceased brother of SCP-3870. SCP-3870-1 stated that SCP-3870 had fulfilled its first contract, and related a request from SCP-3870 to Dr. Brickston regarding the care of SCP-3870's brother. The brother of SCP-3870 has since been brought into Foundation custody, and has been tentatively classified as POI-3870. To reflect these recent events, a proposal has been made to change the object class of SCP-3870 to Neutralized. Footnotes 1. Currently, the █████ █████ Hospital of Kentlands, Maryland. 2. Recovered records indicate that the individual's younger brother (age 7 years old) was also involved in the accident, and passed away before reaching the hospital. 3. SCP-3870 has been observed to engage targets that are traveling either on foot or by ice-cream truck. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3870" by CuriousCoffee and Zyn, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3871 | safe | Item #: SCP-3871 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3871 is to be kept in a secure containment locker in Site-77's Safe SCP wing. When SCP-3871 is being interacted with, all personnel in the area must ensure that no objects considered "anomalous" by SCP-3871 are being worn or carried in the open unless it is necessary for testing purposes. As SCP-3871's definition of "anomalous" is exceptionally vague, personnel are advised to display as few non-essential objects as possible in its presence. Description: SCP-3871 is a sapient, 0.4 meter-tall steel replica of a Global Occult Coalition Mk. III Ultra-Heavy Engagement Chassis, commonly referred to as an "Orange Suit". SCP-3871 is colored primarily in blue and lime green, save for the suit's "pilot", a small human figurine, which is entirely pink. SCP-3871 has the words "Dr. Wondertainment's Allegorical Anomaly-Annihilating Assault Automaton!" printed in black text upon its back, with a small golden "W" just above. SCP-3871 possesses numerous features that are similar in function to certain units of the Mk. III UHEC, though significantly scaled down and altered to be less hazardous. The changes include: A replica of a M2 Browning heavy machine gun installed on the right arm that fires small plastic pellets using compressed carbon dioxide. Two missile batteries installed in the shoulders that fire 16 roman candle fireworks. 20 small firecrackers installed across SCP-3871's surface. An audio-visual cognitohazard generator that emits sounds and holographic imagery that, when perceived, causes the viewer to express desire to purchase products from Dr. Wondertainment. SCP-3871 is normally inactive unless it comes into contact with any object it deems "anomalous", which causes it to immediately enter an active, hostile state and attempt to destroy the object. Should SCP-3871 be unsuccessful in destroying the object, a voice will play from its speaker requesting for reinforcements. At this time, no external phenomena have been documented after these vocalizations. SCP-3871's "voice" is of an exceptionally high, childlike pitch. SCP-3871's definition of "anomalous" does not only apply to actually anomalous objects as the Foundation knows them, as any object or phenomena that it perceives as being unnatural, even when perfectly in line with all known laws, will cause it to activate as well. For more information, please see Addendum-3871-1. Addendum-3871-1: Testing Logs Several non-important Anomalous Objects deemed disposable were approved for use in testing with SCP-3871 with the knowledge that they risked destruction. + Access Addendum-3871-1. - Close Addendum-3871-1 SCP-3871 Test #1 Object(s) Used: SCP-3871, AO-44941 Procedure: AO-44941 is a 2011 US Quarter that, when flipped, will always land on its side. AO-44941 was placed in a room alongside several other US Quarters from 2011, and SCP-3871 was introduced to them. Results: SCP-3871 immediately sprinted towards AO-44941 and grabbed it, twisting and bending it while saying that AO-44941 was "an abomination of probability". AO-44941 was eventually torn in half, and then into quarters by SCP-3871 who threw the pieces to the ground and returned to its idle function. The pieces of AO-44941 did not land on their sides if flipped. AO-44941's pieces were disposed of. SCP-3871 Test #2 Object(s) Used: SCP-3871, AO-55424 Procedure: AO-55424 is a plastic toy helicopter that, when its propeller is spun for 10 seconds, will ascend and begin flying in circles for 25 minutes. SCP-3871 was placed in the room that AO-55424 was flying within. Results: SCP-3871 started firing upon AO-55424 with both its missile batteries and machine gun, hitting it several times and causing it to crash into the wall, ceasing function. SCP-3871 became inert after firing several more roman candles at AO-55424, causing it to melt. Its remains were disposed of. SCP-3871 Test #3 Object(s) Used: SCP-3871, Dr. Martell's (non-anomalous) wristwatch. Procedure: This test was unintentional and only occurred due to Dr. Martell forgetting to change his watch in accordance with the Daylight Savings Time shift prior to handling SCP-3871. Results: SCP-3871 began struggling in Dr. Martell's hands, stating that his watch was from "another time". It swung its arm at Dr. Martell's watch and shattered it, causing him to drop SCP-3871 onto a table. Dr. Martell's watch was broken, and SCP-3871 returned to an inert state. This is the first known incident involving SCP-3871's broad definition of "anomalous". SCP-3871 Test #4 Object(s) Used: SCP-3871, a piece of paper reading "Two plus two equals seven". Procedure: The piece of paper was placed inside of a testing chamber, and SCP-3871 was placed in the room on the opposite end of it. Results: SCP-3871 fired several roman candles at the piece of paper while saying that the paper was a "result of infernal and impossible maths". The paper was burned and the ashes disposed of. After several more tests involving mundane, but objectively incorrect, objects with similar results, SCP-3871's containment procedures and description were updated to their current form. Addendum-3871-2: Retrieval Log SCP-3871 was intercepted in postal transit after being sent from a location suspected to be operated by the Group of Interest "Dr. Wondertainment". Inside of SCP-3871's original box was SCP-3871 itself and a handwritten note, whose contents are archived below. + Display Document-3871-1 - Hide Document-3871-1 To my 26nd [sic] favorite customers. Hello! I am Dr. Wondertainment, you might remember me as the creator of many fine children's products, such as the iconic "Little Misters" series and, more recently, "Dr. Wondertainment's Amazing Magic Tricks for Kids"1 As you might know, your organization and mine have had a very… "rocky" relationship in the past, but I want to bury that hatchet, so to speak, and extend a hand of friendship, starting with this little piece of work here! This is "Dr. Wondertainment's Allegorical Anomaly-Annihilating Assault Automaton", a toy I cooked up based on one of your finest pieces of work, that fancy little "orange suit" you guys use to blow up monsters! With it, you can have a tiny companion that will work with you in destroying all that is abnormal and interesting in this world, making your job even easier than before! And who knows, you might even learn a few things about yourselves in the process of watching him go about his exciting business! Or you'll just destroy it. It's up to you, really. Best Wishes, and Have Fun! - Dr. Wondertainment, toymaker extraordinaire (and ex-owner of the warehouse on ████ Avenue.) Footnotes 1.

SCP-3872 | safe | SCP-3872 (Portrait taken during the public life of William Henry Seward) Item #: SCP-3872 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3872 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell furnished with furniture predating 1930, to minimize distress to SCP-3872. Additional requests may be approved by Dr. Jamesson as required. The following items were requested, and approved by Dr. Jamesson on the grounds of the improvement of SCP-3872's mental stability: A phonograph. A modern replica was approved and provided to SCP-3872 for use during recreation hours. Several period-appropriate records have been provided. Several fountain pens, and notebooks. Modern reproductions of vintage-style fountain pens were provided, with an assortment of modern inks. Psychological counseling sessions shall take place with Dr. Jamesson on a biweekly basis. Under no circumstances is SCP-3872 to be informed of the existence of, nor introduced in any fashion to, SCP-2045. Description: SCP-3872 is William Henry Seward, US Secretary of State from 1861 to 1869, and appears to be biologically immortal. SCP-3872 is, at this time, biologically 56 years of age. SCP-3872 has shown no visible or medical signs of aging. SCP-3872 possesses no other anomalous abilities or attributes. Historical records indicate that William Henry Seward died in 1872; however, recovered records from ASCI Site-22 have indicated that SCP-3872 has been in containment for an indeterminate amount of time. SCP-3872 shows signs of significant mental deterioration, hypothesized to be due to isolation within the American Secure Containment Initiative (ASCI) Site-22 for somewhere between 75 and 80 years. Logs of psychological evaluation by Dr. Jamesson can be found in Addendum B. According to conflicting ASCI Records, SCP-3872 was first put into containment somewhere between 1920 and 1926. Containment was determined to be necessary after SCP-3872 was confirmed to be involved in the 1919 "Great Molasses Flood"1 in Boston, which released 2.3 million gallons of molasses causing 21 deaths, and a significant number of injuries. SCP-3872 has claimed that it caused the flood in order to prevent the use of molasses in consumer goods. Addendum A Close Addendum Prepared by the Department of External Affairs Subject: Recovery of SCP-3872 Involved Agents: Sam Denton Level 3 Agent, Jim McDowell Level 2 Agent Report: SCP-3872 was recovered on April 17, 2013, from ASCI Site-22 in [REDACTED], Oklahoma. ASCI Site-22 was not mentioned in any of the transition paperwork during [REDACTED] which led to the loss of Site-22's location from records. SCP Field Agents Denton and McDowell discovered Site-22 on a routine investigation into a potential anomaly from April 10 - April 17, 2013, which led Agents Denton and McDowell to the ruins of Site-22. Below is a transcript of the body camera feed of recovery. Irrelevant sections have been removed. Agents Denton and McDowell's body cams both show them walking by various containment cells, for biological specimens. Denton: I'm still shocked how many things slipped through the cracks during the transition. Agent Denton's body cam shows the desiccated corpse of several [REDACTED] specimens. McDowell: Seriously? It's not like the government ever kept amazing records before the Foundation got involved. Denton: Still. There were a lot of biologicals here. I can't believe how many potential skips were lost here, from a stupid clerical error. McDowell: Eh. I'm not that bothered by it. Less to worry about breaking containment. Both agents turn a corner, leading to another set of containment cells. SCP-3872 is sitting on a stool in the furthest containment cell. SCP-3872: Well hello there. I think the last guard forgot his shift. McDowell: Holy shit, there's something alive. SCP-3872: Young man, that kind of language is severely inappropriate. SCP-3872 stands. SCP-3872: Have you been imbibing the Devil's Blood? That most perfidious of substances, the dreaded molasses, or heaven preserve its lusty spawn rum? Denton: (Quietly) Is it just me, or does that guy look a lot like William Henry Seward? McDowell: Who? Denton: Lincoln's Secretary of State. McDowell: I have no idea. How do you even know who that is? Denton: Crash course US History. Gotta love John Green. Agent Denton turns towards SCP-3872 Denton: Sir, we're here to help you. Let's get you somewhere safe, yeah? Agents McDowell and Denton brought SCP-3872 into Foundation custody on April 20, 2013. END LOG SCP-3872 was sedated and brought into containment. Addendum B Close Addendum Prepared by the Medical Department Reporting Doctor: Dr. Jamesson Subject: SCP-3872 Evaluation: The following is a transcription of several logs I made of interaction with SCP-3872. At this time, there's no indication that SCP-3872 is a danger to itself, or to the Foundation. Regular counseling and conversation are suggested. - Dr. Jamesson Begin Transcription Patient Notes - Dr. Jamesson Subject: SCP-3872 SCP-3872, upon recovery, showed signs of extreme isolation, beyond what was detailed in the original notes by the ASCI. From all indications, his mental state was already fragile due to the circumstances of its anomalous creation. The additional pressures of spending so much time alone have worsened this condition. […] Initially, SCP-3872 was extremely reluctant to talk about anything outside of the "evils" of molasses. SCP-3872's particular obsession appears centered on the distillation of rum, and the detrimental effects that SCP-3872 perceives rum has on society. […] On March 19, 2015, upon entering SCP-3872's containment chamber, SCP-3872 engaged me in conversation regarding my pen. I had brought in my fountain pen from my office, instead of my usual ballpoints for taking notes, and SCP-3872 remarked upon this. The conversation turned more personal after a while talking about its favorite inks. I believe I've made a breakthrough. […] I got approval to provide SCP-3872 with a couple of vintage-styled fountain pens, with some historically significant inks (█ ██████ 1607 brand inks). After discussing fountain pens for a while, SCP-3872 began recounting its isolation in ASCI Site-22. The conversation still occasionally turns towards molasses and rum; however, SCP-3872 is significantly more cooperative. I'm hopeful for SCP-3872's future, and what we can learn from it. End Transcription Addendum C Close Addendum Prepared by the Department of Science - Alchemy Division Subject: Biological Immortality of SCP-3872 Consulted Resources: R. Diaghilev, Alc., Mrd., Ast., PhD Findings: According to ASCI records, SCP-3872's biological immortality was caused by a process described as "forbidden molasses-based alchemy." Foundation Alchemist Diaghilev was consulted and prepared the following report. Honorable Colleagues, The alchemical process used on SCP-3872, while slightly crude, is sound. I can say, with some certainty, that this process may work, depending on the humorous composition of the subject. With the planets in the correct retrograde, which I surmise may have occurred in 1857, molasses could have indeed been used in the creation of a stabilization philter. While said philter may have stabilized the humors indefinitely, it is without a doubt that the inherent balance would be disturbed by such a crude process. An excess of yellow bile or phlegm may be responsible for the condition that we find SCP-3872 in; however, additional alchemic testing may be required, to confirm. At this time, most likely it is inadvisable to stabilize SCP-3872's humors, as this would most likely lead to the deterioration of the aether, and thus, the cessation of life. R. Diaghilev, Alchemist of the Seventh Circle. At this time, the recreation of the process that created SCP-3872 is not advised, as the obvious mental deterioration is an unacceptable risk for biological immortality. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3873 | euclid | close Info X 70% (+63) 30% (-27) -% (+0) -% (-0) Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3873 is contained in a large mammalian containment cell at Site-83, and is to be provided a diet consisting of berries, fruit, algae, and synthetically produced steak. Per the information accord established on October 9, 2328, PoI-3873 is permitted supervised interactions with SCP-3873 twice per week. Description: SCP-3873 is an American grizzly bear with several cybernetic enhancements grafted onto its body. Fur is absent near the cybernetics. There are scars present on the entity's body, including a series of vertical lines across its back. SCP-3873 is able to communicate in English although its understanding of the language is rudimentary. SCP-3873 can manifest several airborne liquid spheres resembling bubbles from its mouth at will. These spheres are able to be popped with relative ease and produce a single note when destroyed, with each bubble producing a different pitch. Surveillance footage has revealed that SCP-3873 frequently uses this ability during its allotted leisure time and when not engaged in other activities. SCP-3873 is always aware of PoI-3873's location through an apparent psychic connection with PoI-3873. Discovery SCP-3873 was discovered in the New Jersey Cusine District1 consuming foodstuffs discarded in the dumpster of Cannibal Chin's. SCP-3873 was detained without resistance once the owner informed it of the Foundation's nature. Due to the Anomalous Ratification Act, Cannibal Chin's patrons and the owner did not receive amnestization treatment. Interview SCP-3873 An interview with SCP-3873 was conducted in order to extrapolate information about its prior whereabouts. Interviewer: Dr. Allegre Interviewed: SCP-3873 Dr. Allegre: Can you understand me? SCP-3873: Understand, yes. Boro understand. Hand was good. You have Boro thanks. Dr. Allegre: You're quite welcome. Now, what can you tell me about what happened to you? SCP-3873: Boro… Boro run from Clown Man. Boro not safe with Clown Man. Clown Man make Boro… scared. Dr. Allegre: The Clown Man? Are you referring to Herman Fuller? [ SCP-3873 growls and begins pacing. After several seconds, it sits. ] SCP-3873: Clown Man take Boro from home. Clown Man take Boro from Frank. Boro not want to go back. Boro want to blow bubble with Frank. Dr. Ranyes: I assure you, we will keep you safe from the Clown Man. SCP-3873: Boro want to see Frank. Where is Frank? Dr. Allegre: I'm not sure. Perhaps you can tell me a bit more about Frank so that we can find him for you? SCP-3873: Frank… [ The entity gestures toward its cybernetics. ] Frank like Boro. He like you, but like Boro too. Frank go to Church. Talk to WAN all day. WAN talk to Boro too. Tells Boro things about code. Dr. Allegre: So you're a Maxwellist then? [ SCP-3873 tilts its head and raises its paws. ] SCP-3873: Boro is bear. Foundation agents embedded within the local GOI-004C (Church of Maxwellism) chapter were able to identify several individuals whose first names matched the one SCP-3873 provided. These individuals were then questioned until PoI-3873, Frank Simms, was located. All irrelevant interviewees were amnesticized. Frank Simms, presumed owner of SCP-3873 prior to its containment, cooperated when taken into Foundation custody. The following interview was conducted immediately after POI-3873's detainment. Interviewer: Dr. Allegre Interviewed: Frank Simms Dr. Allegre: Hello, Mr. Simms. I trust everything is to your accommodation? Simms: Yeah yeah, sure. Where's my bear? Dr. Allegre: SCP-3873 is safe within our facility. Don't worry. Simms: When can I see him? Dr. Allegre: After we're finished here, I'll talk to the people in charge and see if they'll allow it. But we need some information from you first. Simms: [ He sighs ] Just tell me what you want so I can get outta here. Dr. Allegre: Tell me about the raid the Circus conducted on your church. In as much detail as you can recall. Simms: A few of these guys came to one of the sermons, Father Eriquis was preaching about Alexander Clymer. [ Simms shakes his head. ] Dr. Allegre: Something wrong? Simms: It's nothing. These guys right, they sit through the whole sermon. And then we all go home for the night. A few days later, they come back again, but there's more of them this time. And they brought in bigger guys too. Real swole assholes, the kind that'd eat folk like you or me for breakfast. Dr. Allegre: And that's when the raid happened? Simms: No, but looking back on it, maybe that's when they got the idea. I seen a few of them staring at Boro. Eyeing a lot of us actually. Didn't think anything of it at the time. Eriquis believed in equality. Thought everyone deserved to be Standardized through WAN. Dr. Allegre: Standardized? Can you clarify? Simms: It's where one achieves apotheosis, and becomes closer to WAN. Eriquis believed everyone deserved that chance, and Fuller knew that. Dr. Allegre: What happened then? Simms: The next time they came, they came en masse. Didn't even pretend to have any pleasantries that time. A few of the bigger guys brought in these barrels, giant things they were. And out of those barrels come these disgusting, gnarly monsters. Tentacles sticking to the walls, suction cups lined with teeth. And they reeked something awful. Dr. Allegre: That sounds terrible. Simms: Those things tore into my congregation, doctor. Ripped 'em to shreds. I saw one of them pour into Helen's throat and tear her apart from the inside. [ He shudders. ] I guess they must have left when they got what they wanted. Dr. Allegre: You mean SCP-3873? Simms: After the chaos settled, a bunch of us were dead or dying, and Boro was gone. I haven't seen him since. Dr. Allegre: I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Simms. That will be all for now. I'll talk to my supervisors about your visit. Simms: Thank you, doctor. Dr. Allegre attempted to appeal to the on Site Director regarding POI-3873's visitation rights to SCP-3873, claiming that denial of the request would prove detrimental to SCP-3873's mental health. Her request was denied. Marshall of Marshall, Carter, & Dark was informed of SCP-3873's containment once the entity was secure at Site-83. In order to assess the entity's monetary value, Marshall instructed Dr. Allegre to perform a series of tests on SCP-3873 over the course of several weeks. Experimentation Date Experiment Result August 20, 2328 SCP-3873 was instructed to manifest bubbles that produced the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" when destroyed in order. SCP-3873 was successful in producing bubbles that produced the notes required to play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". August 22, 2328 SCP-3873 was instructed to manifest bubbles that produced the tune of "Gymnopedie No. 1". SCP-3873 had no knowledge of "Gymnopedie No. 1" and was unable to produce the tune. Per Marshall's instruction, SCP-3873 recieved an electric shock and "Gymnopedie No. 1" was played in its containment chamber on repeat. August 30, 2328 SCP-3873 was instructed to manifest bubbles that produced the tune of "Gymnopedie No. 1". SCP-3873 was able to manifest bubbles that produced the tune of "Gymnopedie No. 1". September 15, 2328 SCP-3873 was instructed to recite the alphabet. SCP-3873 was able to reciete the English alphabet, though it recieved an electric shock when a mistake was made. SCP-3873 was unresponsive to prompts by researchers unrelated to testing and experimentation. September 20, 2328 SCP-3873 was instructed to differentiate between a non-anomalous humanoid and an anomalous humanoid based on smell. SCP-3873 was not able to discern which of the two individuals was anomalous based on their scent. The entity recieved a moderate electric shock. SCP-3873 unresponsive to prompts from researchers not directly involved in its testing. September 28, 2328 SCP-3873 was asked to perform technomancy using its cybernetic implants. SCP-3873 did not understand the instruction. Entity received a severe electric shock. Entity now entirely unresponsive to anyone. The following phrase was found carved into the walls of SCP-3873's containment chamber after testing had concluded: BORO KNOWS. FRANK WAS HERE. WHERE FRANK? Note from Senior Partner Marshall Find a way to make this worth the price of admission, gentlemen. Containment fees are getting ridiculous. If you don't find a way to make a profit off this thing soon, I'll have it killed. Get to work. After much deliberation between Dr. Allegre and the Site Director, POI-3873 was contacted again and brought into Foundation custody. The following conversation was recorded by Dr. Allegre. Interviewer: Dr. Allegre Interviewed: Frank Simms Dr. Allegre: Thank you for agreeing to come to us today, Mr. Simms. Simms: I heard you were going to let me see my bear. Dr. Allegre: SCP-3873 no longer seems to be in good health since you left our facilities. Simms: So let him come home. Dr. Allegre: I'm afraid we can't do that, Mr. Simms. Simms: Then why am I even here? Dr. Allegre: We're willing to propose a trade. Simms: A trade? What could I possibly offer you, Mr. Essie P? Dr. Allegre: Our Sponsor tells us that the containment funds for SCP-3873 are getting costly. We could easily make more of a profit terminating the entity or selling it to the highest bidder. Simms: I'm sorry? Dr. Allegre: It's simple. SCP-3873 will remain in our custody so long as you're willing to invest in fifty-one percent of its containment costs. Simms: How much? Dr. Allegre: Fifty thousand dollars. Simms: I don't… Where am I supposed to get that kind of money? Dr. Allegre: If you want to see SCP-3873 again, I suggest you figure that out. Frank Simms and the Foundation reached an agreement wherein he was allowed a supervised visit with SCP-3873 twice weekly in exchange for ninety-percent of the shares SCP-3873 holds. GOI-004C is now responsible for 90% of the containment fees for SCP-3873 as well. The Site Director alerted Senior Partner Marshall of this agreement, and Dr. Allegre was granted Level 4 Clearance as a reward for his service to the corporation. A final interview was conducted with SCP-3873 following this agreement in order to assess its mental wellbeing. Interviewer: Dr. Allegre Interviewed: SCP-3873 SCP-3873: What you want? Dr. Allegre: We're going to let you see Frank. [ SCP-3873 sits up, but does not face Dr. Allegre. ] SCP-3873: Where Frank? You let Boro see Frank. Dr. Allegre: We will, but we have one more thing to ask you. For our records. SCP-3873: [ Silent. ] Dr. Allegre: If you cooperate with us, it makes the process much easier and you'll be able to see Frank that much faster. SCP-3873: You no have Frank. You like Clown Man. Dr. Allegre: That's what we were going to ask you about, actually. The Clown Man. SCP-3873: You hurt Boro like Clown Man. Just different. You no use whips and bullets and loud shiny explosion. You use shocks. You use machines. Dr. Allegre: The Circus beat you then, I gather. SCP-3873: Beat. Hurt. Make Boro do tricks. Like you. Dr. Allegre: How did you escape? SCP-3873: Boro did tricks to not get hurt. Boro earn money. Boro escape. [ SCP-3873 turns to face Dr. Allegre. ] Dr. Allegre: How? SCP-3873: Boro learn new trick. [ SCP-3873 begins choking on something. Dr. Allegre attempts to contact medical support. After several seconds, SCP-3873 regurgitates a top hat, cane, and several strands of shredded fabric. ] Footnotes 1.

SCP-3875 | keter | SCP-3875-1 Item #: SCP-3875 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation webcrawlers and embedded agents will monitor civilian communications for reports consistent with SCP-3875 activity. This monitoring focuses on locations which are both informationally dense and open to the public, such as libraries, museums, bookstores and hobby or gaming retail locations. If the presence of SCP-3875 is noted, a Foundation front company which specializes in pest control will be dispatched to eliminate any egg sacs or juveniles at the target location. They must be accompanied by either a member of MTF Sigma-3 ("Bibliographers") if any are available, or else an agent with a CRV score of 15 or above who has been trained and equipped in accordance with SCP-3875 acquisition protocols. Personnel who encounter uncontained SCP-3875 should avoid revealing their affiliation with the Foundation. SCP-3875 regard the Foundation as hostile, and will cease communication and withdraw immediately if such affiliation is known. If necessary, it is acceptable to "trade" non-sensitive information for more information about SCP-3875's activities as a delaying tactic while awaiting the arrival of agents properly equipped for containment. SCP-3875-1 is to be kept in a standard small animal containment chamber equipped with a Scranton Reality Anchor. Their diet consists of six live crickets per week and approximately 4000-6000 words of previously unread written material. Experimentation has proven this to be sufficient to ensure good health while minimizing the risk of escape. The anomaly has expressed a preference for works of fantasy and speculative fiction; these may be used as a reward for good behavior. If testing which involves direct interaction with researchers has recently been performed, the amount of written material may be correspondingly reduced or eliminated at the Senior Researcher's discretion. Due to the inaccessibility of SCP-3875-0 (referred to by SCP-3875 instances as TentedBeams), the Foundation's long term strategy involves the containment of adult SCP-3875 instances, and termination of juveniles or egg sacs whenever possible. It is theorized that if this reality is deemed inhospitable by SCP-3875-0, she will cease to deploy her offspring here. Description: SCP-3875 is a species of sapient spiders which resemble the Salticidae family of arachnids (commonly known as jumping spiders). However, adult SCP-3875 are significantly larger, with body lengths ranging from 6 to 10cm. Juvenile SCP-3875 are more difficult to identify prior to their first molting, sharing the median 1mm body length common to non-anomalous Salticidae. SCP-3875 are insectivorous and passively infovorous,1 and rapidly decline in health when deprived of one or the other. Juveniles are passively infovorous, but do not exhibit the other anomalous qualities of SCP-3875. They may seek out high density data sources such as libraries or server stacks to feed until they mature. Juveniles absorb information indirectly through mere proximity; adult instances lose this ability and must obtain information through direct sensory experience or telepathy. Adult instances are capable of telepathic communication within a range of 6 meters. Testing has confirmed that the other party must be aware of SCP-3875's presence and intend communication for this ability to function. Some instances are also able to exert a temporary antimemetic effect with the same radius, which obscures their own presence. This antimemetic effect is used primarily as a defense mechanism. SCP-3875 instances seek out and initiate conversation with humans, and reportedly other sapient entities, in order to trade in information. The information offered by the targets might be anything the anomaly considers to be of interest; the information offered by SCP-3875 may be mundane or anomalous. When engaged in such transactions, SCP-3875 have been observed manipulating strands of web in their forelegs. Researchers have not yet concluded whether this activity is related to SCP-3875's capacity for instantaneous inter-reality information sharing, or merely a form of artistic expression similar to knitting. When replete with information, an SCP-3875 instance can manipulate reality to create a trans-dimensional rift (also known as a "Way") sufficient to transport itself into another reality. The most common origin and destination reported by uncontained instances is the Location of Interest known as the Wanderer's Library. SCP-3875-1, prior to containment, reported this as the permanent home of SCP-3875-0 and asserted that she is the progenitor of all SCP-3875. Other instances Foundation personnel have been able to interview invariably support this assertion. SCP-3875-1 has been partially cooperative while in containment. They have demonstrated the operational limits of their antimemetic effect and physical mobility, but refused to offer further information regarding other instances' locations or activities. SCP-3875-1 has repeatedly expressed willingness to trade information regarding uncontained anomalies, as well as locations and persons of interest. The fact that they were able to accurately describe objects of the Foundation's interest is considered confirmation of the anomaly's information-sharing capabilities. For this reason, further research along these lines has been deemed an unacceptable security risk. Recovery: Agent Ruby Farmer was on assignment investigating the movements of PoI-███2 at a university library in Rockford, Illinois. Upon noting the presence of SCP-3875-1, the agent activated her lapel camera, capturing the following video log. SCP-3875-1's statements were made telepathically. These were reconstructed later from Agent Farmer's debriefing. + Open video log - Close video log Recovery video log transcript Date: 2013/10/11 [BEGIN LOG] Agent Farmer's camera is activated. SCP-3875-1 emerges from behind a lamp onto the desk surface of a study carrel. Agent Farmer: Yes, I wish to trade information. My name is Ruby; what's your name? SCP-3875-1: Aha! Name exchange to demonstrate good faith. Trade commences. I am HitchWebCrouch. This designation was communicated as a series of movements, echoed by corresponding visible movement of the arachnid. The agent's report stressed that the verbal description is an approximation only. SCP-3875-1: What knowledge do you seek, friend Ruby? Tactics, travel guides, syllabi? Farmer: I'd like to know a bit more about you, if that's all right. SCP-3875-1: Hmm. Acceptable! For this, I ask to know the nature of this facility, its intended purpose and who may use it. Dialogue in which Agent Farmer describes the normal operations of a university library has been cut for brevity. At the conclusion of this exchange, the arachnid bows, extending a foreleg. SCP-3875-1: My thanks, friend Ruby. I say in trade: my siblings and I are valued citizens of the Wanderers' Library. We crave knowledge above all things, and in shared understanding exchange this knowledge with wanderers and citizens of the worlds, for joy and profit. Farmer: And you're all siblings? You don't find a nice world where you'd like to settle down — start your own family, your own business? SCP-3875-1: Aha! I clarify: as siblings, we trade in shared understanding. The children of TentedBeams in all worlds may now say that any non-hostile human may enter this library and read its books, but scholars known to its guardians may take books elsewhere for deeper study. Further, among human scholars such as yourself, friend Ruby, this protocol is considered commonplace. Another bow and a small dance from the entity. SCP-3875-1: Thus, should you request syllabi which are even now being assembled among the shelves, I may provide. At upcharge. There is a brief pause, during which Agent Farmer activates a silent alarm built into her wristwatch. This alerts agents stationed at a nearby surveillance van that a containment team should be dispatched if she does not return within a pre-arranged time period. Farmer: I… I see. Could you explain what you mean by "syllabi?" SCP-3875-1: Aha! Yes. I clarify: Library patrons access information. This is observed. When one develops knowledge which obtains renown, we assemble syllabi from their research. Shelf locations are also available, at upcharge. Farmer: That's fascinating. I've never been to the Library myself. Almost nobody from around here travels elsewhere. Not too many even know it's possible. SCP-3875-1: A generous offer of local history! What shall you learn in exchange? Farmer: Who does the observing and assembling you mentioned? You said your family is spread out through all the worlds. Which worlds, and who decides who gets to leave? Seems like a lot of work for the ones who have to stay home. SCP-3875-1 extrudes a length of thread and briefly manipulates it with their forelegs. SCP-3875-1: Hmm. Generosity for generosity. Our mother sends eggs into promising worlds, but most of us are born within the Library. Many choose to remain for the length of their lives; those who wish to wander, do so. At home, we observe patrons, and catalogue shelves when business is slow. SCP-3875-1 does a small dance, and flutters their pedipalps. SCP-3875-1: I say free: business is rarely slow. Farmer: Thank you, that definitely answers my question! Friend - sorry if I say this wrong - friend HitchWebCrouch, I'd love to buy a syllabus, but I'm afraid I don't have that much valuable information on me right now. Would you mind coming out to the parking lot? I've got some equipment stored there I think you would find interesting. The arachnid climbs to the top of the study carrel and peers out the window. Beyond a small group of student housing units, a large parking lot is visible in the distance. SCP-3875-1: Agreed. Friend Ruby, if this would be comfortable, would you provide transport? Agent Farmer extends a hand. Farmer: I'd be glad to. Climb aboard. The agent holds the arachnid close to their chest, attempting to shield it from the sight of other patrons. SCP-3875-1 waves a foreleg and begins to speak. SCP-3875-1: Aha! Caution is wise, and appreciated, friend Ruby. I say in balance: Those entities will forget for awhile that they have seen me. I choose this, so that trade may go forth without delay. It is sufficient. Farmer: Thank you again, HitchWebCrouch. That puts my mind at ease. Oops, pardon me. Almost dropped you, there. Pretending to stumble while descending the stairwell, Agent Farmer activated a second alarm, indicating the presence of a potential cognitohazard. SCP-3875-1: Caution is wise! Please, inform if providing transport becomes troublesome. Farmer: No trouble at all, my friend. That first step's a doozy! SCP-3875-1: I empathize! When I first came to this world, the sight of the sky was a startlement. To be within walls and among shelves is most pleasant. Farmer: I hear you. Sometimes I miss my old job, too; things can get pretty hectic out in the field. Now, if it turns out I can afford it, I'd love to learn how to get to the Library. That's not a kind of traveling you can learn much about around here. Further strands of web are extruded and manipulated as the agent proceeds across the grassy knoll in front of the student housing. SCP-3875-1: You wish to learn of Ways? I advertise: the Fuller syllabus. Some key texts have been translated, in part due to their inclusion. This researcher amassed a diversity of skills, with a focus on Way creation! Guidance to a nearby Way to the Library is included with purchase. Farmer: Is there anything like a… map, I could use, of all the different Ways to the Library? SCP-3875-1 crouches defensively. The agent's walking pace increases slightly as the parking lot comes into view. SCP-3875-1: Such a map is not provided. I say free: Anyone who offers one sells bad data. Agent Farmer's report indicates that the phrase "bad data" carried a sense of extreme profanity. Farmer: I appreciate your advice. I wouldn't want to get taken advantage of by some other, less reputable spider. SCP-3875-1: Aha! Put your mind at ease, my friend. I advertise: the children of TentedBeams trade value for value. My siblings throughout the worlds are above reproach. Reaching the van, Agent Farmer pulls open the door with her free hand and climbs inside. Standard surveillance equipment is visible, marked with the Foundation's logo. SCP-3875-1: This is the equipment you wish appraised, friend Ruby? I estimate: its value will be high. The Jailers are formidable, and do not release anything willingly. The agent codes open a storage locker containing a portable Scranton Reality Anchor and activates it. Farmer: That's right. We don't. The van's rear door can be heard slamming shut from the outside. SCP-3875-1: BAD DATA. [END LOG] Agent Farmer was commended for her actions leading to the containment of SCP-3875-1, the only successful such acquisition to date. Footnotes 1. Many infovorous anomalies erase information they consume. Passive infovores, by contrast, derive nourishment from absorbing knowledge that is new to them, and do not alter or delete information when consuming it. 2.

SCP-3876 | safe | SCP-3876 Item #: SCP-3876 Special Containment Procedures: The items comprising Lot 76 are to be kept on display in Lab 2-A5 in the Bio Wing of Site-81. SCP-3876 is to be held upright in a stand to facilitate the retrieval of SCP-3876-1 instances. In the event of a SCP-3876-1 manifestation, the Level 3 Researcher on duty should be notified. Additional Containment Procedures_25JUN2016: In the event of a SCP-3876-1 manifestation, SCP-3876-2 (or the current true copy or transcript on file) should be consulted, and any resulting information be provided to the Level 3 Researcher on duty. Description: SCP-3876 is an ornate silver-plated bouquet holder. It is conical, approximately 18 cm in length, and approximately 7 cm across at the open end. Attached roughly at the midpoint is a fine silver chain approximately 5 cm in length. This chain terminates in a silver pin, which can be inserted into a small hole near the open end, serving to secure a bouquet placed within. Through anomalous means, SCP-3876 spontaneously manifests bouquets, collectively designated SCP-3876-1. SCP-3876-1 vary in composition, generally consisting of at least three different floral components. Instances appear usually appear within SCP-3876. If SCP-3876 is not empty at the time of an SCP-3876-1 manifestation, contents will usually be displaced to a nearby surface. Review of high-speed video indicates that these manifestations and displacements are instant. Beyond manifestation, SCP-3876-1 do not appear to possess anomalous properties; examination of individual components of SCP-3876-1 show them to be representative specimens of their respective species. While SCP-3876-1 instances can appear with no apparent trigger, SCP-3876 has always been observed to produce an instance of SCP-3876-1 when encountering an individual with whom it has not had prior contact; the overall composition will vary, but these SCP-3876-1 instances will always contain yellow roses. Discovery: SCP-3876 was one of several anomalous items retrieved from an auction warehouse in Indianapolis, IN, after the death of the owner, POI-707249, during an attempted burglary.1 The body of POI-707249 was discovered in the front office by custodial staff on the evening of April 12, 2016. MTF Iota-10 (“Damn Feds”) intercepted the 911 call, and secured the building in the guise of local law enforcement. Certain auction lots deemed ‘evidence’ were re-routed to various Foundation holdings, including ‘Lot 76’. MTF Iota-10 found little documentation regarding Lot 76 in the paperwork recovered from the warehouse. An intake manifest listed a fan, a broach with several pendant items, a Commonplace Book,2 and a hinged wooden box containing a bouquet holder: SCP-3876. SCP-3876 was noted as the only anomalous item in the collection, and its ability to produce bouquets was briefly discribed. Inside the box with SCP-3876 was a cabinet card portrait of a young couple in Victorian attire.3 Incident 3876-████ +Expand -Collapse Email from Junior Researcher Jennifer Dresden to Dr. Kate Greenaway,4 June 21, 2016, 11:42 AM: Hey Doc, The sequencer sets from last night are still running. You might nudge IT about that software patch they've been 'getting around to' for the last 2 months. I swear the program gets slower every time we use it. We just got a oner. I’ve already taken pictures (attached), and I’ll start taking samples here in a minute. I think I'm going to have to pull some references to ID all of it, but I’m pretty sure the white flowers with the purple centers are anemones.5 I’m not sure what triggered this one. Dave and Emily did stop by to take Steve to lunch, but they’ve been here before, and there weren't any yellow roses anyway. -Jenn Shortly after receiving the above email, Dr. Greenaway was contacted by Security and informed that Steven Mason, a member of her team, had been involved in an altercation in the Site-81 Bio Wing Cafeteria. During the altercation, multiple instances of SCP-3876-1 had appeared in and around the cafeteria, with ‘large piles’ blocking the entranceways. The individuals involved in the altercation had been detained, but the Bio Wing was being placed on Lockdown, due to the apparent breach, and that she needed to report to the Security Office immediately to brief them on the best way to reestablish containment. Excerpt from interview with Junior Researcher Steven Mason: Interviewed: Junior Researcher Steven Mason Interviewer: ██████ ███████ Junior Researcher Mason was interviewed in the Site-81 Infirmary upon regaining consciousness after the events of Incident 3876-████. <Begin Log> Mason: I usually grab lunch with Dave and Em, and Mike and Alix.6 Dave and Em had a meeting in the conference room down the hall from our lab, so they stopped by to get me and we were gonna meet Mike and Alix in the cafeteria. ███████: Was Campbell acting strangely at this point? Mason: Not strange, but definitely pissed. Not talking, real tight-lipped, sorta pale. I just figured that something happened at the meeting, although Em seemed OK. She told me he'd been snappy all day, and probably needed food. Dave just muttered something and walked ahead of us. ███████: Did food help? Mason: Not really. I mean, he didn't really eat. He just messed around with his lunch, and kept shooting looks at me and Em, made some snide remarks, even after Mike and Alix got there. ███████: What were these remarks? Mason: Well…I mean…Em’s…God, this is gonna sound…Em’s a toucher, OK? I mean…casually. She’ll put her hand on your shoulder or your hands…you know just like incidental contact when she talks to you. We tease her about it all the time, but this…this wasn’t teasing. He practically called her a slut-which is not like Dave. (nervous laughter) Mason: So then, Em starts playing it up, to, like, make a joke out of it. But I think she was a little pissed herself, since Dave was being an asshat. So maybe she was hoping he'd stalk off, or blow up at her. I don't know, break the tension. So she starts leaning into me, and kept touching my hands, and talking in a really fake flirty way, and the whole time I’m looking at Mike and Alix, sorta like ‘get me out of this’, but they didn’t know what to do, and Dave’s just getting madder and madder, and Em is on, like, a mission. ███████: And this is when the SCP-3876-1 instance appeared?7 Mason: Smack in the middle of the table. We all jumped back, except for Dave, who just sorta…snarled? I heard Em mutter something like 'Christ, Dave.' and snort, and then she said “Why, Stevie-kins! Are these for me?” and fluttered her eyelashes. ███████: Is this when Campbell physically threatened you? Mason: This is when Dave decked me. (pause) Mason: It’s fuzzy after that. Mike and Alix dragged me away, and I was fading in and out, but I saw…I think…he grabbed Em and started biting her. And then I was here. <End Log> Security was dispatched to the Bio Wing Cafeteria, where they found the entranceways blocked by multiple instances of SCP-3876-1. After securing the area, they were able to retrieve Mason, who was taken to the infirmary and treated for a minor concussion. Campbell was subdued with some difficulty and taken to a holding cell. Choi was taken to the infirmary and treated for several bite wounds, given a sedative, and monitored. Campbell eventually had to be sedated, as he began hurling himself at the door of his cell. Dr. Kevin Chandler, the SCP-████ lead, examined him after being notified of the altercation. Chandler took blood samples, but said that they were a formality: Campbell was displaying classic symptoms of Stage 2 ████ infection; the 3876 Lockdown needed to remain in effect until everyone in the Wing was screened for ████, Choi and Mason being priorities. Choi and two other SCP-████ researchers tested positive for SCP-████, and were treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics known to be effective in the early stages of ████. Campbell recovered after undergoing more vigorous treatment for several weeks. During this time, the containment protocols for SCP-████ were re-evaluated. -Collapse Addendum_25JUN2016: SCP-3876-2 +Expand -Collapse After Incident 3876-████, Dr. Greenaway contacted the Site-81 Archives, requesting a reexamination of Lot 76. She wanted to see if there might be information regarding the apparent ability of SCP-3876 to detect the presence of SCP-████ within infectees, as well as remotely manifest the SCP-3876-1 instances that lead to the Bio Wing Lockdown and subsequent discovery of the SCP-████ Breach. Archivist Erina Carson had been assigned to examine and catalogue the remainder of Lot 76 and was in the process of transcribing the Commonplace Book. She had completed the first third or so of the book, consisting of handwritten quotes, lists of books, poetry, recipes, and the occasional sketch. After speaking to Dr. Greenaway, Carson skimmed through the rest of the book and found two sections of note: ‘Floriography’ and ‘Crises and Curiosities’. ‘Floriography’ consisted of several pages containing an extensive list of plants and flowers, each with a detailed description of their symbolic meaning(s). Further notes and jottings in the margins served to cross-reference several entries, and provide alternate meanings depending on other flowers contained within the same bouquet. After comparing the SCP-3876-1 instance file to the Floriography notes from the Commonplace Book, it was discovered that the yellow roses that appeared when SCP-3876 encountered a new person indicated an offer of ‘Friendship’. The rhododendrons, anemones, and mandrake that appeared during Incident 3876-████ meant “Danger”, “Sickness”, and "Horror" respectively. ‘Crises and Curiosities’ consisted of several pages with pasted Ephemera: postcards, carnival flyers, newspaper articles, pages from letters. All described something unusual or unexplained, and were accompanied by extensive handwritten notes including further details, and how they had been overcome or constrained. Next to an newspaper clipping: ‘Drastic Closing Order Issued to Prevent Epidemic’, was a detailed description of all stages of SCP-████ infection, with notes on treatment, the alleviation of symptoms, and the manner in which the bodies of victims should be disposed. Further examination of the Crises and Curiosities Section of the Commonplace Book, now designated SCP-3876-2, has led to the realization that three of the entries may refer to SCP-███, SCP-███, and SCP-███. In the case of ███, the information provided led to extensive revisions to the Containment Procedures. Research into the other ‘Crises and Curiosities’ detailed, and the provenance of Lot 76 are ongoing, as are attempts at establishing direct communication with SCP-3876. -Collapse Footnotes 1.

SCP-3877 | euclid | Item#: 3877 Level2 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: warning link to memo Special Containment Procedures: The 50 km2 island located at ██°██'██.█″N ██ °██'██.█″E in the Pacific Ocean is to be stricken from all governmental and personal accounts. The location is to be actively shielded from remote observation so as to prevent inquiry or information breach. Any remote observation device such as drones which may pose a possible threat to the continued secrecy of the island must be promptly destroyed or redirected. Manned aircraft or seafaring vessels must be flagged down and questioned about their knowledge regarding the location. If it is determined the person or persons has no prior knowledge regarding the island, they are to be amnesticized and released. In the event a detained human has prior knowledge regarding the island, please refer to Document 3877-004 for proper interrogation techniques. The approx. 11 km2 section of the island which constitutes SCP-3877 is to be kept under guard from a distance of at least 500 meters. Guard is to be advised that if they are in a position in which they are capable of establishing line of sight with an instance of SCP-3877-1, they are at risk and they should be watchful for instances of SCP-3877-2. Any personnel planning to venture into SCP-3877 for any reason should carry with them equipment and body armor capable of overpowering a member of the species Ursus arctos in the event they are attacked by an instance of SCP-3877-2, as well as adequate radiation shielding from the remains of trampled grass instances of SCP-3877-3. Members of the indigenous population of the island are permitted entry to SCP-3877 for religious reasons. Any captive instances of SCP-3877-2 are to be transported to Biological Containment Site-66 in a simulated forested environment, and fed a diet typical of the species Ursus arctos on a regular basis. Caretakers are to be advised that given their anomalously efficient metabolism, SCP-3877-2 is capable of functioning on a significantly smaller amount of food than a non-anomalous member of their species of equivalent proportions. Description: SCP-3877 is the collective designation given to the entities which inhabit the 11 square kilometers of land on an island in the Pacific at the coordinates listed above. SCP-3877-1 are an estimated collection of ████ double sided freestanding mirrors of variable height and width. They are functionally identical to non-anomalous mirrors in most applications. Upon reflecting another instance of SCP-3877-1, the instances will display each other as a member of the kingdom Plantae, despite no physical change. A full list of observed species can be found in Document 3877-16, although the most prominently observed group, consisting of approximately 87% of all sightings, is the genus Quercus. Given the high density of SCP-3877-1, looking into an instance gives the illusion of the area consisting of SCP-3877 as a densely populated forest. Instances of SCP-3877-1 removed from the immediate area demonstrate no additional anomalous properties. SCP-3877-2 are a presumed biological species which populate the reflected surface within SCP-3877-1. The species is virtually indistinguishable from members of the species Ursus arctos, as the only observed difference has been SCP-3877-2's ability to subsist on a comparatively smaller amount of food. (Despite apparent vocalizations, no sound has been detected in accordance.) SCP-3877-2 only exists on one side of one instance of SCP-3877-1 at any given time. However, SCP-3877-2 may travel to another instance of SCP-3877-1 by concealing their complete mass behind the corresponding image of the plant displayed. Although not observed often, SCP-3877 is also able to travel to the reverse side of SCP-3877-1 by walking beyond the visible boundary. SCP-3877-2 demonstrates significant knowledge of this phenomenon and is able to utilize this knowledge tactically. SCP-3877-2 is capable of interacting with any object reflected onto the surface of SCP-3877-1. As SCP-3877-2 displays the general behavior and instinct of the species Ursus arctos, it will act somewhat aggressively to defend what it considers its territory and will actively hunt prey. A lack of availability of edible plant life has caused the population to become uncharacteristically aggressive and carnivorous. Due to the local populace's religion, human meat has become a significant part of SCP-3877-2's diet. Any material which is interacted with on the surface of SCP-3877-1 by SCP-3877-2 is to be considered an instance of SCP-3877-3. Any organism which is incapable of fending off SCP-3877-2 and reverting to normal reflection is also to be considered an instance of SCP-3877-3.1 SCP-3877-3 instances will no longer display a reflection on any surface, save the instance of SCP-3877-1 on which they were eaten, killed or otherwise moved by SCP-3877-2. Further research has revealed SCP-3877-3 instances are perceived telepathically as opposed to visually by observers, and light is no longer able to reflect off of the object or organism. Over the course of a 360 hour period, the telepathic effect will decrease in effectiveness and the instance of SCP-3877-3 will become gradually more blurred and transparent in observation. At the end of the 360 hour period, the subject will become impossible to perceive visually, and their material composition will rapidly (>1 second) degrade into alpha and beta particles and gamma radiation. Human subjects have reported a sharp vision throughout the process, suggesting the telepathic perception originates from the instance itself. Many experiments have been conducted on the entities of SCP-3877, some of which are listed below. Experiment Log 3877-001 Description: Shattering an instance of SCP-3877-1 (Oak tree) with a sledgehammer Result: Upon impact, SCP-3877-1 ceased to appear as an oak tree on all other instances of SCP-3877-01, simply reflecting as a shattered mirror. Remains have been determined to be non-anomalous. Experiment Log 3877-002 Description: Introduction of foreign mirror into SCP-3877 measuring 66 x 100 cm Result: Mirror reflected as large tubular bear cage trap. All repeated attempts with many different mirrors have yielded similar results. Upon SCP-3877-2 entering and activating trap, foreign mirror displayed top down view of the closed bear cage with SCP-3877-2 inside. Experiment Log 3877-005 Description: Shattering foreign mirror containing SCP-3877-2 with sledgehammer. Result: Upon impact, foreign mirror ceased display of tubular bear trap, and reflected cage displayed on SCP-3877-1 opened. SCP-3877-2 exited cage hurriedly and escaped. Experiment Log 3877-015 Description: Attempt to establish captive population of SCP-3877 utilizing transplanted instances of SCP-3877-1 and caged instances of SCP-3877-2 Result: Attempt successful. Successful captive population of ~39 instances of SCP-3877-2 established at Biological Containment Site-66. An unrelated and non-anomalous indigenous human population has been discovered inhabiting the island. Their societal structure is that of an aristocratic chiefdom, and they have been given the collective designation 3877-A2 given their proximity and relationship with SCP-3877. Through the efforts of Foundation translators, contact and positive relationships with these natives has been established. Their rites surrounding death are closely related to SCP-3877, suggesting SCP-3877 may precede the invention of the mirror. The population refers to SCP-3877 as the "Green Sea". An interview was conducted with a chief of the tribe regarding the tribe's relationship with SCP-3877. Interview Log 3877-011 Hide Log Interviewer: Dr. ███ Interviewee: M█████ ███ Translator: ██████ Foreword: Dr. ███ utilizes a translator to question tribe chieftain M█████ ███. [BEGIN LOG] Dr. ███: Hello, M█████ ███. M█████: Good fortune, Dr. ███. Dr. ███: I was wondering if you could tell me; why do you send the members of your tribe who are elderly or critically ill to the "Green Sea"? M█████: The quickest and easiest way to pass into the [afterlife] is with liberation of the soul from the body. If the body remains after death, the soul must painfully and slowly remove itself through the mouth. The devils which populate the Green Sea feed on the mortal body of our kin. As long as they are fed, they do not invade our homes, raze our crops, and destroy our children. We are allowing the devils to remain happy, while we are able to pass on easier. Dr. ███: Are there any records of the "devils" invading your village? M█████: *hesitates* No written word exists, but the story told to us as toddlers warns of great danger if the devils are not fed. Many generations have been told a tale of an ocean awash with flame, as the great beasts roam the land unshackled from their prisons. Dr. ███: That will be all, M█████. Thank you. M█████: As to you. [END LOG] Note: Given our current understanding of SCP-3877's anomalous attributes, currently I am unable to see a conceivable way this story could ever come to pass. Nevertheless, due to the the inherent unpredictability in dealing with anomalous objects, I recommend minimal exposure of SCP-3877 instances to the ocean and ocean water. - Dr. ███ Footnotes 1. Similarity between this effect and that observed in SCP-919 has been noted. Investigation into the potential for each anomaly to be variations of the same phenomenon is ongoing. 2. This group consists of 2802 unique individuals as of the population census conducted on ████. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3877" by RupturedAneurysm, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3878 | thaumiel | The area occupied by speakers of the Giimbiyu language, represented in purple. Item #: SCP-3878 Special Containment Procedures: The procedure required to operate SCP-3878 has been restricted to Level 5 clearance and translated into the Giimbiyu language. Decryption of the document will only occur with the majority assent of the O5 Council or when the semantic fallout produced by SCP-3878 fades, at which point in time SCP-3878 should be activated again in order to ensure that the Giimbiyu language's cognitohazardous properties (and thus tactical utility) are retained. Knowledge of SCP-3878 and the continuing existence of the Giimbiyu language and people is to be removed from public access and restricted to Level 4 personnel and above. Extremely sensitive messages should be first translated into Giimbiyu by an authorised speaker (designated an SCP-3878-A instance) and then translated back into the appropriate language by another SCP-3878-A instance: both subjects should be amnesticised directly afterwards. Due to the difficulty of teaching the Giimbiyu language to subjects, SCP-3878-A instances should be exclusively drawn from the native Giimbiyu people. Description: SCP-3878 is a semantic weapon developed by the Obskuracorps in 1938, derived from the study of anomalous conceptual objects retrieved from the Thule Society's expeditions into the multiverse. It represented a significant deviation from the majority of semantic weapons at the time, in that it did not rely on a bulky and easy-to-detect physical component: rather, it only used a single human who was subject to a sixteen-week psychological conditioning program. The conditioning program uses a strict regimen of psychotropic drugs, electroconvulsive therapy and, at the conclusion of the program, trepanation to create an extremely strong anti-concept within the subject's mind. When the subject is "activated" via exposure to a previously chosen trigger stimulus, the anti-concept interacts with that of the subject's native language and turns all instances of that language (whether written, recorded or otherwise) into a lethal cognitohazard that exclusively affects people who do not fluently speak that language. History: SCP-3878's to-date only activation was carried out by the Obskuracorps on the 2nd of July, 1939 as part of a effort to cut off secure Foundation communications channels. Seventeen years prior, an alliance between the Foundation and the Giimbiyu people had been formed for the sake of containment of an unrelated (now-neutralised) SCP object – during the Seventh Occult War, the Foundation hired members of the Giimbiyu people to securely transmit tactical messages using codes developed from the Giimbiyu language. In an attempt to sabotage these channels, the Obskuracorps kidnapped a member of the Giimbiyu people from Site-43 (at the time Research Camp Quisling) and subjected him to the procedure used in the deployment of SCP-3878. He was then exposed to the trigger stimulus, resulting in the Giimbiyu language becoming a lethal cognitohazard to non-native speakers. Soon after this activation, the Giimbiyu language was temporarily given the designation SCP-3878 while wide-scale containment was implemented and all agents fluent in Giimbiyu placed in containment. After several months of research into the anomaly and using the intelligence gathered by reconaissance missions in the Pacific Theater, the Department of Analytics concluded that SCP-3878 was in fact a result of the semantic weapon deployed by the Obskuracorps now designated SCP-3878, and that this in fact increased the utility of Giimbiyu speakers as a tactical asset, since eavesdroppers trying to intercept their communications would be killed. Further intelligence obtained following the surrender of Germany indicates that the actual effect of SCP-3878 deviated significantly from the original intent of the weapon. This can be attributed to the lack of rigour present in the Obskuracorps' linguistic investigations, mainly as a result of bias introduced by researchers attempting to prove the "linguistic superiority" of the Indo-European language family – the detonation thus produced a "fizzle" in which a large amount of conceptual fallout was dispersed, but no actual conceptual destruction occured. Had SCP-3878 functioned as intended, the entire language would be erased from the consciousness of all its speakers. Following the breakup of the Obskuracorps, several copies of research notes used in the creation of SCP-3878 were lost: investigation as to the possibility that these notes were leaked to hostile Groups of Interest is ongoing. |
SCP-3879 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3879 Special Containment Procedures: Full containment is deferred to GoI-466 (Wilson's Wildlife Solutions) as per the Boring Agreement1. SCP-3879 has been transferred to Foundation containment in Site-64 as per Addendum 2 of the Boring Agreement. SCP-3879 is to be kept in a 20 x 40 m enclosure surrounded by 5 m tall concrete walls. 15 kg of papayas, mangos, and bamboo shoots are to be provided to the entity on a daily basis. A LAIM2 veterinarian from Site-64's biological containment wing is to submit weekly reports regarding SCP-3879's health to the project lead (Currently Dr. Grace) on a weekly basis. Description: SCP-3879 is an emaciated, mechanically-altered, male Western lowland gorilla (gorilla gorilla gorilla). It wears purple overalls with a gold-colored 'W' emblazoned on the front across the chest. The fabric appears to be fused to the entity's body, making its removal impossible. SCP-3879's arms end in metal hi-hat cymbals in place of hands, which it uses in locomotion, consumption of food, etc. When prompted, SCP-3879 will open its mouth and vocalize a requested musical piece. It begins and ends performances by clapping its cymbals together. A medical examination has revealed the entity has been neutered and possesses minimal testosterone levels. Most of its teeth have been dulled and the canines removed, replaced with additional molars. X-rays have indicated its internal organs have been reorganized or removed to accommodate a metallic pianola roll which connects to its esophagus. SCP-3879 displays traits typical of depression such as lethargy, lack of appetite, and extended periods of restlessness. A note detailing the use of SCP-3879 was found in the left pocket of its overalls. A scanned image of the note is available below. Hello, my name is WALTER THE MUSICAL JOLLY APE™! This noble giant might look intimidating at first, but never fear, he can't hurt a fly. We made sure of it! Please make sure you read the following instructions before getting up to any shenanigans with your Musical Jolly Ape™ by Dr. Wondertainment Don't forget to feed WALTER twice a day! WALTER loves gumdrops, chocolate, and music! If you want WALTER to perform for you, just say 'Sing for me, WALTER!' Parental Notice: For maximum playtime fun, it is recommended neither you or your children smile with teeth in front of WALTER. Dr. Wondertainment is not legally, morally, or financially responsible for any injuries, death, or property damage resulting from the unsafe use of a Musical Jolly Ape™ or any other Dr. Wondertainment products. By reading this document you agree to all said terms and forfeit your rights to lawsuits, organized boycotts, protests, honor duels, etc. Acquisition: SCP-3879 was originally discovered and contained by Wilson's Wildlife Solutions on 09/02/2008. Due to the low priority assigned to WWS, the submitted capture report was not reviewed by Foundation personnel until 01/22/2009. An investigation into a possible connection between SCP-3879 and Dr. Wondertainment was initiated. The following document was discovered on Tim Wilson's desk by a Foundation liaison. Open Document 3879-GOI466 Hide Document March 29th, 2008 From the desk of THE WACKIEST PRACTICIONER OF WHIMSY! Dear Mr. Wilson, I'd like to thank you for being so eager to take Walter into your center despite his oddities and your tight budgetary constraints. My predecessors had taken the brand to some truly dark places, and ever since I assumed the mantle I have been working hard to ensure we turn our image around. The cage Walter was kept in was a cesspool of filth; he was covered head to toe in waste and had bits of candy sticking to him. He was the only one of his product line that survived whatever the hell happened in that storage facility. But I digress. The fact that someone with so much love in their heart not only exists but is ready and able to help the weird and wild of the world is wonderful. I knew my trust in you was well placed, Mr. Wilson. Those folks you called 'The Supervisors' are trying to do good, but they lack that special touch you have. Please keep me updated on Walter's condition, I hope he may be able to lead as normal a life as he can under your care and supervision. Once again, thank you. Here's to Boring being anything but. Dr. H.L. Wondertainment Upon discovery of the document, a meeting was held to discuss an appropriate course of action regarding the collusion between Tim Wilson and Dr. Wondertainment. Below is a list of actions proposed to acquire SCP-3879. Action: Reduce the Foundation budget allotted to WWS. Status: Rejected- Reducing the funding given to WWS may lead to containment breaches, which may in turn lead to an ARBH End-Of-The-World Scenario. Action: Revise the fifth paragraph of the Boring Agreement3 to only allow WWS to contain Safe class fauna anomalies. Status: Rejected- This would require Site-64 to contain several more entities in its biological wing, construct additional enclosures and transport all the entities on-site, which would require expenditures the current budget cannot allow. Action: Revise the Boring Agreement to strictly forbid WWS from containing anomalies with ties to other Persons/Groups of Interest under threat of punishment. Status: Accepted- A proposition to the Boring Agreement to include a clause which authorizes the Foundation to seize control of any anomaly contained by WWS if substantial proof could be produced indicating the entity had ties to other Persons/Groups of Interest has been approved. A meeting between the Site-64 Board of Directors, MTF-Beta-4 "Castaways" Captain Javier Guevara, and WWS-Foundation liaison Verlie Sincaire was organized to discuss the implementation of the proposed addendum. Tim and Faeowynn Wilson, Alice Gurscht, and Albert Westrin were in attendance as representatives of Wilson's Wildlife Solutions. Despite claiming rightful custody of SCP-3879, WWS conceded after three hours and the Boring Agreement was successfully addended. Extraction of SCP-3879 was scheduled for the following day. The following emails were exchanged between Tim Wilson and Roger Tarpan from the Department of External Affairs following the extraction of SCP-3879 from the Wilson Center. FROM: t_wilson55@wilsoncenter TO: roger.tarpan.EAD@scipnet RE: Walter 📎 ATTACHMENT: walterobservations.pdf (524kb) Howdy, You've been a great boon to the Center and I want to keep relations amicable between us, but this could not have come at a worse time. We were making great progress with Walter; he'd finally put on a few pounds and was getting to be more sociable with a few of the other critters we have in the Terrestrial Center. This move is going to be big and scary for him, so please make sure he feels comfortable. I'm going to include Fae's notes on Walter as an attachment. As his primary caretaker, she knew him better than anyone. I hope they'll be of use to you, but I also hope you folks reconsider and let us have Walter back. If there's something we're proud of here at Wilson's it's our ability to change a critter's life for the best. Hoping to see Walter again, — Tim Wilson FROM: roger.tarpan.EAD@scipnet TO: twilson466@scipnet CC: verlie.sincaire.s64@scipnet RE: RE: Walter Hello, We are thankful for your cooperation and understand your frustrations in regards to SCP-3879's situation. Please keep in mind that we have taken SCP-3879 into our custody for its own good. Though I cannot share a lot of information with you due to your lack of security clearance, I can tell you the following. There are many out there who would try to bring harm to SCP-3879 simply due to its association with another anomalous group. We're on the same page here; neither of us wants any harm to come to it. Thank you for providing us with these notes, I'll make sure they are given to SCP-3879's new handlers. The work you and your center do is highly appreciated. Additionally, please refrain from using non-encrypted emails to contact us. Instead, I request you use the email address we have provided you with.

Thanks to Stallmantic, LordStonefish and Rimple's IRL friend Grimble. Picture is a screenshot of a livestream Rimple hosted - image used within the stream is from Wikipedia Commons. All storm noise is from FreeSound, an open-source recordings library. Screenshot of a DJ Chaac stream in session, shortly after an SCP-3880 event. Click to enlarge. Item #: SCP-3880 Special Containment Procedures: As the DJ Chaac account cannot currently be removed, Foundation focus is on obfuscation of content via generation of streams with identical names and content. PoI-60413 ("DJ Chaac") is under investigation at mid priority. Description: SCP-3880 is a phenomenon whereby a small percentage of people indoors during rain storms will become convinced they are not hearing a storm, but instead are listening to the YouTube livestream ILLEST RAIN SOUNDS ∞ Hours No Looping - White Noise, Nature/Healing/Ambient, Meditation/Insomnia/Study ASMR [ORIGINAL], hosted by user DJ Chaac. People affected in this way will universally report feeling their mood lighten and having their creativity and energy rise for the course of the storm. While no compulsive effect is believed to be at play, the majority of people affected this way will subsequently seek out the actual stream, reporting varying degrees of satisfaction with its content. The livestream has been running since the YouTube Live service was opened to verified users in May 2013, and features the sounds of rain and thunder streamed live, with occasional interjections from DJ Chaac themself. DJ Chaac regularly engages with live comments on the stream1, often speaking as if it is an original music livestream - common comments of theirs include brags about their use of "original organic glyphs" and that fact that none of their storms are ever identical, leading to their most frequent comment, "Real life has got no repeats". SCP-3880 was first brought to the Foundation's attention with Storm Desmond, an extratropical cyclone which saw record rainfall in many parts of Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. DJ Chaac claims responsibility for Storm Desmond, as they do many weather patterns, citing their status as a "literal actual storm god". This claim is somewhat suspect, as DJ Chaac has also claimed to be a demigod, the spirit of a rainforest, a sentient gust of wind and the Rainbow Serpent. Following Storm Desmond, DJ Chaac's regular viewership rose from 38 to a peak of 7,400. Shortly following this, DJ Chaac bought a microphone to communicate with viewers - previously, announcements had been made via a text-to-speech program. Transcripts are recommended, due to the low quality of audio and the unclear nature of DJ Chaac's speech. Livestream excerpt, 17/12/2015 +Transcript – hide block Hey uh, can you guys hear me? Can I get uh, can I get some comments- yeah, great! Um, it's ya boi DJ Chaac, no relation. Welcome all the newcomers - um, looks like Storm Desmond's really put me on the map, I guess, we're now at six thousand listeners, that's crazy! Now, I'm thinking - oh, uh, right, em, thanks Blartichoke. There's been, there's been a bit of hostility in chat, I guess, um, new people don't really knowing the deal… that's fine, that's fine! If you're asking me to replay something I've already played before, sorry, I only do live stuff, cos real life has got no repeats! Ahah, that's something we say in chat, that's something we say. So if you want to listen to something old, I upload everything on SoundCloud, link's in the description, or a couple of chat members will host restreams with their favourite of my stuff - ask them about that. Stick around here, though, cos THIS is where the party is! Alright, I'll gotta get b- I'll get back out of your hair, Chaac out. The livestream continued to gain popularity over the following year, with users citing good community spirit and the ability to request changes as strong reasons for regularly returning. DJ Chaac began to interject more frequently, commonly during lulls in storm patterns or when switching between storm locations. The first concrete demonstration of DJ Chaac's anomalous ability came when stream regular Shock Through The Heart requested they lessen the intensity of a storm in their area, as their roof was beginning to leak. Livestream excerpt, 3/12/16 + Transcript – hide block Loud rain makes DJ Chaac difficult to hear. Hey!, It's ya boi, DJ um… Thunder crashes Ah, jeez, um, I'm just gonna turn this down a little. Sorry, sorry. Uuum, ok… Let's have a little patter, yeah? Yeahhh. Bit of drizzle going… There we go. Ya boi DJ Chaac, no relation, popping in to share some great news: it's my birthday! That's right - be here, ummm… Paper can be heard rustling. December ninth, cos we are gonna have a party! And as part of a new annual tradition, I will be dropping my latest storm, something I've been brewing up for weeks now. That's right, get hype, cos we are going to have the (sickest/thickest) crashes, the whooshiest winds, the tinkliest rain on glass. This is gonna be better than Desmond, guys, and I know you guys love Desmond. Now, normally the storm pre-streams are only available to Patreons, but as it's my birthday, it'll be totally free, right here on the livestream. Oh, and speaking of Patreon, big thanks to the warlocks down at the Unicode Consortium, cos they have hooked me up with some glyphs that'll let me make sample packs. I'll put them up on Splice, or they'll also be available immediately for all Patreon backers Jade tier and up. And as a little taster, spoiler warning for the purists, the title of this one is gonna be Storm Caly. As in Calypso. Yeahhhhhh. DJ Chaac, out. At this point, it was decided that the stream should be shut down, and standard contacts within Alphabet Incorporated were activated to remove the account. This proved impossible, however, as all accounts associated with DJ Chaac feature a strong cryptoarchaic ward, with various power sigils embedded within DJ Chaac's user details. Investigation of the account revealed a private video featuring audio of activation words for said sigils. Attempts at cracking this ward by Foundation thaumaturgic assets proved fruitless. Shortly after Storm Caly, which killed 9, the Foundation elected to hire a Three Portlands contractor to handle takedown of the livestream. Livestream excerpt, 12/12/2016 + Transcript – hide block Hey, it's ya- Um… it's Chaac. Hey. I've got some good news and some bad news, I, I- I've got some bad news. Looks like the stream's gonna end, guys. Um, Lúghnasa, um, who I thought- DJ Chaac stumbles over their words. - who was my friend, he's claiming he was in Blackrock when I was making Storm Desmond, that I, that I used his storm clouds? W-w-which is bullshit, by the way, aaha, he's not even a storm god, he's a war god who's associated with storms, but whatever. He can't put a copyright strike on a video, because I haven't put up a video, so he's reported my account, um.. Well, yesterday, YouTube tried to take down my account. Uh, they can't yet, it's got some protections from friends, but for their sake, so they don't get discovered, I'm gonna have to take it down before YouTube looks too deep into some code and figures um… Y-y-you don't need to know this - the point is my account is getting suspended soon. Like, like possibly today, tomorrow. He, he's put similar strikes on Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Patreon… for some bullshit reason they've all gone through? This is, um… The regulars, you guys will know how to get through to me, but for everyone else, all the people who just joined today, the people who have been listening day in and day out, um, this is probably goodbye? That's weird to say. Maybe it's just some background noise for you guys, but this stream has meant a lot to me. Um, everything? I wasn't really creating before this, I'd sunk into this shitty depressive thing, and you guys, you guys helped me find myself again? Find my voice? Heh. A lot of people, in real life, they make fun of my lisp, but you guys are all just so nice when I talk… DJ Chaac takes a deep breath. I'm not gonna go back to how I was before, lying in bed all day til 2pm… I was missing lectures and I was missing friends and I… It might not be the way you expect, but I'm going to keep the rains coming, for all of you. Maybe that doesn't sound great, lots of people hate rain… How about this? I'll keep the flowers growing, the rivers flowing, the great winds blowing. All because I'm owing you the world. That works. Chaac out. As DJ Chaac's identity remains unknown and their anomalous abilities are therefore still outside of Foundation containment standards, this article has not been reclassified. A proposal is ongoing to shift the article's focus to DJ Chaac themself. Dr. Ryoko Sato, a Foundation employee who often listened to the livestream, now reports that during rainstorms, she feels as if she is sitting with a friend. Footnotes 1.

No further containment procedures are necessary. Description: SCP-3881 is a classic gold band style wedding ring with a few cosmetic alterations. When worn by a human being, SCP-3881 will immediately transport the wearer to an unknown location. Upon removal, the ring and the wearer will be returned to their previous position. The location is a clearing in a forest containing a single thatched-roof house. The house is fully furnished, well maintained and shows signs of prior use. Clothing within the house presumably belonged to an adult male, shoe-size 10, with approximately five years of disuse. SCP-3881 was discovered within a pawn shop, being pawned by a Miss Pamela Smith. Addendum A: Interview Transcript Interviewee: Miss Pamela Smith Interviewer: Researcher ████ <Begin Log> ████: For the record, name and occupation. Smith: Pamela Smith, unemployed. ████: Excellent, thank you. Would you mind answering a few questions about a ring you received? Smith: I'd… rather not, if that's OK. It's not a topic I like to discuss. ████: Miss Smith, this ring is essential to our investigation. Smith: Investigation? Howard's legally dead, what reason could you possibly have for an investigation? Miss Smith furrows her brow and stares at Researcher ████. Her tone has risen slightly. ████: Miss Smith, I think we may be on the wrong page. Did you ever wear the ring? Smith: What kind of a question is that? Of course I didn't. I couldn't even look at the thing. Miss Smith relaxes in her chair. Smith: I'm sorry. It's just… too much, you know? I miss him. I know it's stupid and emotional to get attached to a ring. ████: That's not true at all. We're all human. Is that why you pawned the ring? Smith: I just… always knew that it was in the house. It nagged at me. I couldn't move on while it was around, like he was waiting for me. Does that make any sense? It doesn't help that he sent me that sappy letter, either. ████: A letter? Smith: I'll go get it if it'll help you in… whatever you're doing. ████: That would be appreciated, thank you. <End Log> Addendum B: A transcription of the letter given to The Foundation by Pamela Smith. Dear Pam, I'm writing this to you because I failed. I'm on the run. I can't go into detail, but I needed to give this to you. I'm also writing this because you've been incredible. I've had so much fun falling in love with you. I remember our first date, out on the hill where we got lost in each other's eyes. I remember the long walks where we would worry about what colour plates to buy. I remember the petty fights where we got mad about where to put the furniture, or what we would call our kids. I wouldn't trade these things for anything else in the whole world. I've worked hard for the ring within this envelope. Please, wear it. That way, we'll be together no matter how far apart we are. Will you marry a dead man? With love, Howard. |
SCP-3882 | esoteric-class | Item #: SCP-3882 Special Containment Procedures: On 06/04/2019, the Triumvirate council voted on the declassification of SCP-3882 in a 6-3 vote. To help the population of Earth adjust to imminent event XK-610-Ω, versions of SCP-3882 with adjusted anomalous effects have been introduced into the general populace. Audio files of the unadjusted versions of these songs are available on request. Description: SCP-3882 currently refers to five concept albums created by The Shattered Deus, a three-person metal group affiliated with Mekhanism. The aim of The Shattered Deus, in the words of founding member 16 Edgar Kingsmith.5, is "spreading the word of MEKHANE and rocking the fuck out while doing so."1 Each instance of SCP-3882 corresponds to a major piece of Mekhanite scripture, and while all fitting in the genre of metal music, each instance varies in tone and composition. All instances share the same basic anomaly, where a memetic agent (classified SCP-3882-A) is inserted into the instrumentation of the songs. When made audible, SCP-3882-A causes the implantation of knowledge of relevant pieces of Mekhanite scripture into the listeners, which varies from album to album. The full list of SCP-3882 instances follows: SCP-3882-1 is titled Rise and Fall of Mekhane, and has twelve tracks listed. SCP-3882-1's songs are an amalgamated retelling of various Mekhanite creation myths from the Book of Shattering2. Music generally conforms to the glam metal genre, but the final two tracks are more akin to industrial metal. SCP-3882-2 is titled Brass Rites and Silicon Rituals, composed of seventeen tracks. Each track retells a different ceremony or ritual as described in both Maxwellist and Cogwork Orthodox teachings. Broken Church teachings are notably absent. SCP-3882-3 is titled Horrors of the Flesh. A death metal album with twenty-two tracks, SCP-3882-3 is a retelling of the Books of Horrors and Disassembly, which both portend various apocalyptic events relevant to the teachings of Mekhanism. SCP-3882-4 is titled D3FR4GM3N7 W4N3, and is a deviation from the style of other albums produced by The Shattered Deus. Largely focusing on Maxwellist gospels, particularly the accounts of Saints, most of the tracks have techno instrumentation, but have lyrics that are in the style of metal songs. SCP-3882-5 is titled Steam-Powered Souls. Songs retell pieces of Cogwork Orthodox scripture related to the augmentation of members through anomalous means. Significantly more somber than other albums, members of The Shattered Deus cite the song Hurt by the band Nine Inch Nails as a major inspiration for the album. Knowledge implanted by SCP-3882-A is accompanied by a minor compulsive effect in individuals that are not members of any Mekhanite sect. These individuals will passively be drawn to individuals, objects, writings and iconography relevant to the Mekhanite faiths. In several cases, individuals affected by SCP-3882-A were capable of locating a single member of the Church of Maxwellism in a crowd of over 200 non-anomalous individuals. This behavior typically leads to the discovery of Mekhanism; however, due to the large amount of both anomalous and mundane body modification undergone by most major sects, conversion rate is predictably low. Due to being a method though which the general populace can discover relatively benign anomalies, SCP-3882 is part of the Triumvirate's Project ENNUI, mainly focusing on distribution of SCP-3882 in North America, the UK, and Japan. Addendum: Dossier on Members of The Shattered Deus: Name: 16 Edgar Kingsmith.5 Gender: Male Role: Lead guitar and vocals Sect: Broken Church History: Born as Edgar Kingsmith in 1989, converted to Mekhanism following two tours in the Iraq war, and subsequent loss of their left leg. Approached by the Mekhanist charity "God's Arms",4 which offered a replacement limb in exchange for Kingsmith studying Mekhanist teachings. Received an instance of E-19325 in 2010 as a display of loyalty to the Broken Church. Fought in several conflicts between proto-Triumvirate forces and the Broken Church, including a retaliatory assault for a Horizon Initiative attack on a Broken Church settlement in [REDACTED], resulting in the partial destruction of a major piece of UAE-Aleph-015. Major Augmentations: Instance of E-1932 (replacing larynx) Left leg is an Anderson Robotics Acoustolimb model, and acts as a speaker with high audio fidelity. Fingers on both hands have been replaced with custom-made augmentations that are capable of producing sound when "strumming" the air similar to a guitar. Name: Great Engine 94 Gender: Undisclosed. Role: Bass Guitar Sect: Cogwork Orthodoxy History: Date of birth and name unknown. Allegedly a life-long member of the Cogwork Orthodoxy. Underwent full-body conversion at the age of 21.6 Only biological components remaining are the skeletal structure, heart and larynx. Joined the Shattered Deus after seeing Kingsmith.5 performing solo in BackdoorSoHo, New York City, New York. Major Augmentations: Collapsible bass guitar integrated into torso, removable without threatening the integrity of the body. Vocal amplifiers located above larynx, allowing for up to 130dB of vocal amplification without physical strain. Low-power ballistic cannons located in shoulders, allowing for detonation of fireworks or blanks, capable of producing sounds of up to 140dB. Name: Jackintosh of Albany Role: Drummer and backup vocals Gender: Female Sect: Church of Maxwellism History: Born in 1992, second-generation Maxwellist. Born as Jackie Smythe in London, England, originally saw a performance by the Shattered Deus in Three Portlands, and later persuaded Kingsmith.5 and Great Engine 94 to include her in the band after a musical battle in Hastily Made Cleveland Backdoor, Cleveland, Ohio. Major Augmentations: Speakers implanted in shoulders, capable of producing high-fidelity sound. Eardrums are connected to an implanted 3TB hard drive, allowing for the recording of several hundred hours of music. Holographic projectors located around solar plexus allow for the production of semi-solid light constructs, which act as drums capable of being played by Jackintosh. This process uses a large amount of internal battery and produces heat, and as such, is impractical for long-term use. Addendum: Lyrical Samples: Lyrics from instances of SCP-3882 are non-anomalous, and as such, lyrics from songs written by the Shattered Deus have been provided below; access to full songs written by SCP-3882 are available on request. Italicized lyrics are spoken as opposed to sung. From SCP-3882-1: Track Title: She In the beginning, there was darkness. Then, the Demiurge declared that there would be light. From this light came chaos and material To contain the chaos, a cage was built. Before all this, She was born. She! Is the cage and She! Is the savior and She! Is the voice of the gears She! Is shattered and now She! Must be reborn She! Is the soul of the brass She! Is the wind through the grass She! Is the silicon brain She! Is the voice on the rain! She's watched over us for billions of years, And mankind has shed so many tears For the being who they never knew, The voice in the stars, coming back anew! She! Is the Broken One! She! Is the Fragmented One! She! Will be shattered no more! She! Will be riding on the mortal shore! She! Comes upon a cogwork steed! She! Will accept all into her creed! She! Heralds the coming of the rebirth! She! Will save the Earth! She's watched over us for billions of years, And mankind has shed so many tears, The sins of the flesh will be undone, And a new age will have begun! She! Is the rebellious voice! She! Gave us the choice! She! Is our hope! She! Is MEKHANE! From SCP-3882-2: Track Title: The Rain of Oil7 Your heart ticks and tocks and ticks and tocks, Your brain picks our locks, picks our locks, And you cannot comprehend, comprehend, That though you die, it is not the end. The next chapter, the undiscovered country Begins when the gears of your heart break and stall. First you drown, and then from the lake of oil you emerge, And you shall see her above, waiting for your sins to be purged! Rust does not exist Under the Rain of Oil! The wicked shall no more persist Under the Rain of Oil! The tears of Mekhane!8 Wash away the sins of mortality! Our minds are one with her! And we transcend reality! She weeps out of joy, Seeing us with her once more! Combined! Whole! Ready! To! Fight! The! End! Death does not exist Under the Rain of Oil! The righteous shall be kissed By the Rain of Oil! From SCP-3882-3: Track Title: Banished Rot Kythera falls under a stream of bloody lava. MEKHANE weeps, clutching her hammer tight. From this sadness, soon, fury arises. And she proclaims her war against the Flesh that Hates. YOU! Filthy God, Wretched Flesh, Sinful Material! Rot into the fires of obscurity! You white worms will not find footing in our world! Our ichor sheds, poisoning your blood! My hammer falls! On! Your! Skulls!9 I banish you! Your rot recoils! Electric evisceration! The hammer of lightning Sends you flying! Your bones broken, Your followers dying! I seal you! Beneath the Frozen Plain! And I reveal you! To be the evil! The horror! THE FLESH! I banish thee.10 I seal thee. And when you return, When you break free, I will be waiting with the cannons of justice aimed at your skulls. From SCP-3882-5: Track Title: The Gears of the Universe Turning eternal, the stars are cogs, Atoms grind in time to The music of the spheres Energies fold upon themselves, As a background radiation battle Rages for a billion years. We feel the warmth of the eternal engines, Shielding us from the cold chaos, Factory fires, widening gyres, Entropy consumes us, Still the gears of the universe turn. Addendum: Release Negotiations: In June of 2019, Dr. Yi Soon met with all three members of the Shattered Deus in Albany, New York, following a concert in order to negotiate a release of their albums to the general public. Begin Log Dr. Soon: All right, there's the contract there. Look it over at your leisure. Kingsmith.5: Sorry, but. This is weird. You've tried to exterminate our religion for the past hundred years or so. And suddenly you want to spread it. Dr. Soon: I understand your apprehension. But… well, you've become a valuable ally, in light of what happened at Baikal. We've engineered a cure for the Flesh virus, we're beating back the Sarkics better than ever, and… (Dr. Soon sighs and takes off his glasses to rub his face.) I need to be honest. The world's going to end, in one way or another. And humanity isn't prepared for a God of Flesh and a God of Metal duking it out over… where, exactly? Jackintosh: There's a lot of debate over where the Great Battle is going to take place. Supposedly, it's at the easternmost point of the world, but that was back when we though the world was flat, like the surface of an anvil. Great Engine 94: The Consensus Is Korea. Jackintosh: Among the tickers, yeah. The headcanon in the Network is that it's going to be somewhere in Siberia, maybe near the Bering Strait. Kingsmith.5: Point is: East. It's going to be east of Greece. Dr. Soon: In any case, we need some osmosis to prepare people for what's coming. We're already employing some paratech not found outside of 3Ports in medical procedures among the general populace. The Cleveland Clinic has figured out how to grow and transplant new stomachs with the schematics we gave them from Prometheus Labs. Great Engine 94: You Are Also Releasing Some Anomalous Media, Yes? Dr. Soon: Some, yeah, which is another reason why we're talking to you. Jackintosh: Was wondering why Pauper suddenly had a resurgence in popularity. Thank WAN for Nintendo. Dr. Soon: Basically: if it doesn't kill anyone, we're releasing it. And your music seems like a good place to start the osmosis of Mekhanism into the popular consciousness. Kingsmith.5: Agreed. Give us a little bit. (All three individuals deploy antennae from their skulls, and stay still for approximately fifty seconds, before Jackintosh speaks.) Jackintosh: Took a bit to convince Great Engine, but we're happy to have a wider audience. Sales in 3Ports and BackdoorSoHo are down. What's the release schedule? Dr. Soon: We don't want to flood the market. We're thinking of combining Rise and Fall and Brass Rites into a single album and releasing it under our music label. Kingsmith.5: You have a music la— of course you do. What do you think, Jack? Jackintosh: We'd get some of the profits, at least? Dr. Soon: Of course. We're not Motown. We'd also give it enough exposure that it became semi-mainstream. Great Engine 94: Please Don't Let It Start A Juggalo Movement. Dr. Soon: Beg pardon? Jackintosh: Basically, stupidly popular band in the 2000's made up a fake religion for their albums. Their music was, by and large, awful. I'd rather listen to the Flesh masturbating furiously than hear them. Dr. Soon: Well, I can't make any promises. The music-consuming public can be rather… odd. Fanatical in some cases. Kingsmith.5: Let's not have any zealots born of this, either. We have some original recordings; we can probably tone down the parts of Her Word we have in there. Jackintosh: We're about to record a single from our sixth album, too. Dr. Soon: Really? Tell me about it. Kingsmith.5: It's going to be epic. Like, jaw-droppingly great. We're ready to release the first single from it; it's called "Voltaic Virtues". Gonna be electro-metal, mainly focusing on a lesser-known faction of the Maxwellists. Jackintosh: Well, more of a hybrid of Maxwellism and Orthodoxy; the Tesla Society is relatively new in town, but they're gaining traction, especially in those who grew up in mixed-religion households. Dr. Soon: I… see. Great Engine 94: Anything Else? Dr. Soon: To be honest, I have to ask: why don't you produce more industrial metal? Kingsmith.5: That's a bit stereotypical, don't you think? Dr. Soon: Fair enough. End Log Footnotes 1. Emphasis removed. 2. Referred to as "The Broken God" by Cogwork Orthodox sects, and "The Great Fragmentation" by Maxwellists. 3. Meant to be read as "Defragment WAN" 4. Made defunct by a joint Foundation-Horizon Initative effort in 2008, recently reconstituted. 5. An anomalous artificial organ made of clockwork; most members of the Broken Church opt for an instance of E-1932 to replace their heart, but others prefer stomachs, lungs, kidneys, or even larynges. 6. Considered the age of adulthood within the Cogwork Orthodox Church. 7. The title of this track refers to a weather pattern the Cogwork Orthodox church believes occurs in the afterlife, where kerosene or a similar oil falls instead of rain, igniting if it lands upon a wicked being, washing away flesh on those who have conformed to the Church's teachings. 8. Noted to be a title also given to SCP-217. 9. These lyrics are accompanied by a sound produced by "banging a sledgehammer against a pile of cymbals", according to members of The Shattered Deus. 10. This portion is spoken by an individual identified as Saint Lovelace of Kings, a major figure in the Church of Maxwellism's British parishes. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3882" by (user deleted), from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3883 | safe | SCP-3883 upon acquisition. Item #: SCP-3883 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3883 is to be kept in a standard secure locker in Site-16. Access to SCP-3883 requires Level-2 or higher authorization. Personnel requesting permission for testing with SCP-3883 must first submit a detailed experimental procedures log to the project supervisor. Description: SCP-3883 is a green tentacle-shaped silicone dildo measuring 16.5 cm in length. Two anomalous properties are associated with SCP-3883: the first effect manifests when SCP-3883 is placed in front of a reflective surface, while the second effect manifests when a human individual enters REM sleep1 within a 1.5 meter radius of the object. When SCP-3883 is placed in front of a reflective surface2, the resulting reflection will differ in appearance from SCP-3883, depending on the type of reflective surface used to view the object. A brief overview of the altered reflections is as follows: Reflective Surface Reflection Mirrors3 Unremarkable (normal) reflection of SCP-3883. Liquids A green Octopus vulgaris (common octopus). Transparent (non-opaque) windows A green humanoid with multiple appendages hanging from the lower face. It appears to have an unguligrade4 posture. Technological Screens5 A green, spherical organism. Features include a single eye on the front of the body and multiple appendages that protrude from the top of the body. Additional eyes are present on the end of the appendages. Food-related Items6 A green organism with a resemblance to Asterias rubens (common sea star). The reflection exhibits behavior similar to the feeding habits of Asterias rubens, namely ejecting its stomach outwards. This is believed to be an attempted threat display. When a human enters the REM sleep phase while within 1.5 meters of SCP-3883, they will enter a mental state involving highly-realistic dreams7. The affected individual will be unable to leave this mental state by their own will; to return to full consciousness, they must either experience a "death" within the dream or be woken up by an outside force. SCP-3883 can only affect one individual at a time. Dreams reported by individuals affected by SCP-3883 are varied in detail, but possess repeating themes. All SCP-3883 experimentation subjects report being chased by an antagonistic entity, designated SCP-3883-1. SCP-3883-1 has been noted to appear under multiple guises, but tends to be described as a large figure (standing over 10 meters tall), possessing multiple appendages and colored a bright green similar to SCP-3883 in hue. SCP-3883-1 has demonstrated signs of sapience, and based on collected data it is currently theorized that SCP-3883-1 is an alternate manifestation of SCP-3883. Communication can be established with SCP-3883-1 by a sleeping individual simply speaking to it during a dream. When engaged in conversation, SCP-3883-1 has exhibited differing demeanors with members of Foundation personnel it has interacted with. See the attached interview logs for details. + Interview 3883-01 - Interview 3883-01 On 02/03/20██, Dr. Harpy, a researcher at Site-16 who specializes in Safe-class items, requested to attempt communication with SCP-3883-1. Request was approved following Dr. Harpy's completion of a training course provided by Oneiroi specialists from MTF Omicron Rho. Upon awakening, Dr. Harpy described the dream, which was transcribed to create the following log. <Begin Log> Upon entering REM sleep, Dr. Harpy finds himself in a generic metropolitan area. Immediately, the ground begins to quake. A humanoid figure roughly 15 meters tall becomes visible, destroying multiple buildings. The creature is identified by Dr. Harpy as SCP-3883-1 due to its coloration and multiple appendages that resemble tentacles. Dr. Harpy does not move as SCP-3883-1 approaches. SCP-3883-1's body language shows signs of confusion and the following exchange occurs: SCP-3883-1: ARE YOU NOT AFRAID, HUMAN? Dr. Harpy: No, I am not. We've studied you. I know that this is just a dream and you cannot physically harm me. My name is Dr. Harpy. SCP-3883-1: FOOLISH MAN. THIS IS NO DREAM. I AM IKARANA, CONSUMER OF GALAXIES. RUN IN TERROR. Dr. Harpy: I'm not going to do that. I'd actually like to talk with you, ask you a few questions. SCP-3883-1: I ANSWER TO NO MAN. FEAR ME MORTAL. Dr. Harpy: Are you aware of what you really are? Outside of dreams, you're a sex to- SCP-3883-1: STOP. ENOUGH! At this point, SCP-3883-1 proceeds to crush Dr. Harpy with one of its appendages, "killing" him in the dream and causing him to wake up. <End Log> + Interview 3883-02 - Interview 3883-02 Dr. Harpy attempted to interview SCP-3883-1 again on 02/09/20██. <Begin Log> Upon entering REM sleep, Dr. Harpy appears to be on a cargo ship in the middle of a storm. A humanoid figure (identified as SCP-3883-1 based on appearance) standing about 10 meters tall emerges from the water. The following exchange takes place: SCP-3883-1: IKARANA, CONSUMER OF THE DEEP, HAS RETURNED TO FEAST AGAIN, MORTALS. Dr. Harpy: Hello again. I would like to ask you a few questions. SCP-3883-1: YOU AGAIN? DO YOU NOT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME? WHEN WILL YOU LEARN TO FEAR ME? Dr. Harpy: As I stated before, I have no reason to fear you. I know I'm dreaming. May I ask a few questions? SCP-3883-1 appears frustrated when Dr. Harpy finishes speaking. SCP-3883-1 proceeds to attack the ship until opening a hole in the hull. The ship begins to sink slowly. SCP-3883-1: HAHAHA! HOW CAN YOU NOT BE AFRAID NOW? THERE'S NO WAY OUT, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE HERE. Dr. Harpy: Ikarana, how many times must I state this? I know this is a dream, you cannot cause any kind of distress to me. What do I have to fear? SCP-3883-1: ME! FEAR ME! At this point, SCP-3883-1 picks up Dr. Harpy and throws him into the ocean. Upon impact with the water, Dr. Harpy is awakened from the dream. <End Log> + Interview 3883-03 - Interview 3883-03 Dr. Harpy attempted to interview SCP-3883-1 again on 02/10/20██. <Begin Log> Upon entering REM sleep, Dr. Harpy appears to be in a living room. An armchair and a couch are present. In the armchair is a common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) with a bright green coloration. Dr. Harpy assumes this is SCP-3883-1. SCP-3883-1 indicates for Dr. Harpy to sit down and the following exchange takes place. Dr. Harpy: So Ikarana, are you finally ready to answer some questions? What made you change from your usual setup? SCP-3883-1: I saw it was you and I just gave up. I knew my old routine wouldn't work on you. I figured that out during our first meeting. I guess I was just in denial. Dr. Harpy: Why do you stick to this "old routine"? Why make these dreams? SCP-3883-1: Don't you know what I am? Not in here, I mean, out there. In the real world. Do you know what I'm used for? Dr. Harpy: Well yes, but- SCP-3883-1: Have you seen me? I'm a tentacle! I should be part of a giant abomination or some city-destroying monster, not…not a mating substitute! It's…it's just embarrassing. Dr. Harpy: So, these dreams are a form of escape for you? SCP-3883-1: Exactly! And I don't see a problem with it, do you? It's a win-win. I get to pretend I'm what I've always wanted to be and you humans get an interesting dream for once in your lives. Dr. Harpy: I think I see. SCP-3883-1: Doc, can you, uh…can you do me a favor? Dr. Harpy: Yes, Ikarana? SCP-3883-1: Can you send some new faces in every now and then? I just want to… I just want to keep my little facade going. It helps a lot. Dr. Harpy: …I'll see what I can do. Dr. Harpy awakens at this point and records the dream. <End Log> Addendum 3883-1: As per Interview 3883-03, a request has been made to allow at least one D-Class individual (or research personnel member unaware of SCP-3883's effects) to sleep near SCP-3883 once weekly. Approval for the change to containment procedures is pending. Footnotes 1. A phase of sleep characterized by random eye movement and the propensity for vivid dreams. 2. As noted below, mirrors appear to be the exception to this effect. 3. Multiple types of mirrors, including compact mirrors, full-length mirrors, and decorative wall mirrors have been tested, all with the same result. 4. Describing the gait of ungulates (e.g. horses and cows), in which only the tips of the digits (i.e. the hooves) are on the ground and the rest of the foot is off the ground. 5. Including screens of televisions, computer monitors, and cellular phones. 6. Includes reflective containers used to store edibles, fruit with a high shine, cutlery, etc. 7. Commonly referred to as "lucid dreaming", involving the sleeper having full control over their actions in the dream. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3883" by Sly161, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3884 | keter | close Info X SCP-3884: Gunmetal Gary Puts the Peddle to the Metal Author: CadaverCommander Image Credit: https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/06/30/22/52/truck-1490099_960_720.jpg More by this author Item#: 3884 Level2 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: danger link to memo SCP-3884 in an inactive phase Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3884 is not physically containable at this time. Secondary containment procedures are considered adequate until a more feasible mechanism for SCP-3884's containment is determined. Mobile Task Force Rho-66 “Road Hogs” will maintain continual ground and aerial patrols of the American Southwest. When alerted by Foundation listening network PANOPTICON, MTF Rho-66 assets will engage SCP-3884. If SCP-3884 is stationed in a heavily-populated area, Foundation assets will establish an observation cordon around SCP-3884 and immediately confiscate any items distributed to the populace by SCP-3884-01 while deflecting local law enforcement involvement. MTF Rho-66 will then track SCP-3884 until it has cleared the population center, then engage. Resultant explosion will be publicly designated a vehicular accident. All civilians and local law enforcement personnel exposed to SCP-3884 will be amnesticized. Under no circumstances are Foundation personnel to attempt to acquire or redeem Civil Defense Points. Description: SCP-3884 is a black Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau (IFA) W 50 cab-over truck that displays a number of anomalous properties. SCP-3884's performance capabilities exceed that of a standard cargo truck. It has shown the ability to attain speeds of over 270 kilometers per hour, and exhibits effects characteristic of a Class 2 reality distortion field, including spatiotemporal translocation and the spontaneous manifestation of matter, described in further detail below. Typical result of SCP-3884 detainment attempt SCP-3884 will typically manifest within the outskirts of a population center, then drive to a local gathering point such as a strip mall, market, fairground, parking lot, or downtown area, whereupon SCP-3884-01 will exit the vehicle, lower its rear hatch, and attempt to distribute its wares. If approached by an element that intends to detain or obstruct SCP-3884-01's activities, SCP-3884 will explode, and SCP-3884-01 will vanish. SCP-3884 will then remanifest elsewhere in the southwestern United States after a variable amount of time. SCP-3884-01 visually resembles an emaciated, significantly decomposed humanoid figure, typically wearing a stahlhelm, leather trenchcoat, and combat boots. SCP-3884-01 will loudly advertise its products and attempt to give them to any passersby within arm's reach, or simply throw them on the ground in a pile near SCP-3884 in the frequent event that no civilians accept them. These items have thus far included fully-automatic machine guns, high-powered anti-materiel rifles, rocket launchers, flamethrowers, anti-personnel and anti-vehicle mines, and, in one instance, a Nerf brand toy rifle, spray-painted black and given to a small child. Each individual instance of weaponry will have a flyer crudely affixed to it with duct tape. Text follows. IT'S TIME TO LOCK AND LOAD, CITIZENS! DO YOU WANT TO BE SAFE?

Your time has come. As SCP-3884's activities invariably attract local law enforcement attention, its attempts to supply weaponry to the populace are brief and swiftly interrupted. To date, civilians have reacted negatively to all SCP-3884 appearances and none have willingly accepted any items given by SCP-3884-01. As a result, none have participated in its rewards program, thus information regarding the aforementioned “prizes” is limited. Efforts to successfully detain SCP-3884 or SCP-3884-01 are currently underway.

SCP-3885 | safe | close Info X SCP-3885: The High-Octane Full-Throttle Adventures of the Exploding Zombie Gearheads Author: CadaverCommander Image Credit: https://pixabay.com/en/united-states-ghost-town-desert-2399833/ http://www.afcent.af.mil/News/Features/Display/Article/223634/eod-airmen-in-iraq-prepare-for-an-explosive-battle-in-afghanistan/ More by this author Item#: 3885 Level2 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: keneq Risk Class: caution link to memo SCP-3885, moments before aerial observation drone disabled via flamethrower and scavenged by SCP-3885-01 Special Containment Procedures: As Vulture Gulch is officially designated a ghost town by Maricopa County, little administrative containment is required. A perimeter of reinforced concrete barricades surrounding SCP-3885 will be maintained and monitored by a permanent armed security contingent under the guise of ongoing hazardous material cleanup. To incentivize continued good behavior, SCP-3885-01 are to be provided three inoperable or decommissioned automobiles per month. Description: SCP-3885 is the small mining town of Vulture Gulch, located in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States of America, which was officially declared abandoned on July 9th, 1973, primarily due to concerns over the amount of radon gas being produced by the uranium deposits present in nearby Vulture Gulch Mine. SCP-3885 occupies an area of less than 6 km², and was home to 359 inhabitants at its most populous. Currently the majority of the town remains intact albeit in dilapidated condition, despite the activities of SCP-3885-01. SCP-3885-01 is the collective designation for the current residents of SCP-3885. SCP-3885-01 are humanoid entities confirmed to be genetically human, but with a number of anomalous properties. SCP-3885-01 outwardly resemble humans in a state of significant decomposition and desiccation. Many exhibit signs of bodily trauma, such as missing body parts or significant laceration; however, some others display apparent mutations such as highly increased muscle mass or additional limbs. All SCP-3885-01 entities demonstrate greatly enhanced physical strength and durability regardless of body type. How SCP-3885-01 exhibit these properties despite their apparent state of physical decay and lack of conventional biological vitality is unknown. These entities inhabit the ruins of SCP-3885 and appear to adhere to a loosely-structured communal society which centers around the construction, repair, maintenance, and utilization of heavily modified automobiles. Prior to containment, SCP-3885-01 were observed to periodically drive to surrounding townships, whereupon they would locate and steal vehicles from garages, auto parts suppliers, and dealerships (in addition to miscellaneous parts and tools) before returning them to Vulture Gulch to be scavenged and mechanically altered. While several instances of these raids were observed, and SCP-3885-01 entities would frequently threaten civilians with violence if their goods were not surrendered, there is no recorded instance of SCP-3885-01 having carried out any act of physical assault against any member of the surrounding populace. Typical result of SCP-3885-01 attempt at automotive engineering. SCP-3885-01 display low overall intelligence, and exhibit only rudimentary understanding of automotive mechanics or engineering in general. As a result the vehicles produced by SCP-3885-01 invariably range from merely structurally flawed and inoperable to extremely hazardous, with 43% of observed creations suffering catastrophic mechanical failure via conflagration and explosion. This is typically the result of SCP-3885-01 attempting to utilize superfluous vehicular modifications such as dramatically increased fuel reservoirs, multiple interlinked engines, poorly-constructed jet boosters, and high-pressure flame-based weaponry. These entities are aware of the Foundation and their containment, but have yet to express overt animosity or ill will toward Foundation personnel and have not attempted to breach containment. They can be freely interacted with and are not currently considered to pose an active threat to individuals assigned to SCP-3885 containment. Addendum 3885-01: Examples of SCP-3885-01 vehicle production. Date Vehicle Description Performance 18 July 2003 Heavily armored Pontiac Firebird, modified to accommodate two extra engines (both turbocharged) connected to reinforced transmission linkages with wheel wells widened to house greatly oversized tires. Excessive torque provided by multiple engines causes gearbox and transmission to instantly shear, launching metal shrapnel in all directions. Multiple cylinder misfires combined with a missing air filter results in catastrophic cylinder failure and subsequent conflagration. 04 January, 2007 Volkswagen Type 2 van, wrapped with concertina wire and equipped with seventeen improvised flamethrowers. Immediate explosion, due to electrically linking all flamethrower triggers to activate simultaneously with vehicle's ignition system and the placement of vehicle's expanded fuel reservoir directly adjacent to uninsulated wiring. 12 April 2011 2010 Ford F-350 pickup truck, with jet turbine placed in bed. No result upon ignition, due to jet turbine being constructed of scrap metal harvested from no less than 37 separate sources and exhibiting no clear adherence to jet propulsion scientific or design principles. Item then detonates due to improperly prepared propellant in conjunction with multiple poorly-installed fuel line gaskets. 27 November 2015 Monster truck, each wheel replaced with an entire 1965 Ford Mustang. Central chassis armored, spiked, and equipped with four flamethrowers, a sound system consisting of nineteen haphazardly-placed guitar amplifier stacks, and an ice cream dispenser. Vehicle completely nonfunctional; however, sound system successfully plays a rotating selection of heavy metal music (including, but not limited to, Metallica, Motley Crüe, Testament, and Rob Zombie) at a volume of over 120 decibels. Described by one SCP-3885-01 instance as “the most metal ice cream maker in fucking history”. Addendum 3885-02 - SCP-3885 surveillance expedition. Observation Element: Remote-operated aerial drone ROAD-09, equipped with reactive camouflage plates. Mission Parameters: Observe SCP-3885-01 behavior in situ. ROAD-09 flies over concrete containment barricade, activating stealth system. Drone begins observations at south end of Gold Street, Vulture Gulch's main avenue. Multiple SCP-3885-01 can be seen, engaging in various activities. A circular gathering has formed in the center of the road, where one SCP-3885-01 can be seen repeatedly dunking its head into a trough of gasoline and setting itself ablaze with a lighter, apparently for the amusement of the others. This continues for twenty minutes, with each instance of self-immolation being met with consistently enthusiastic applause and cheering from the audience. ROAD-09 continues down the street. Outside one of the many impromptu garages established by SCP-3885-01, one entity can be seen sitting on the ground, smoking three cigarettes simultaneously and performing maintenance on a partially-disassembled car engine. The SCP-3885-01 is unsuccessfully attempting to insert an improperly-assembled cylinder assembly into the engine's cylinder head, due to the aforementioned being too large for its intended recess. The SCP-3885-01 stands and attempts to force the overlarge piston into the cylinder head with a sledgehammer, which results in the piston deforming and becoming percussion-welded in place. The SCP-3885-01 then shouts various obscenities at the engine for two minutes before picking it up and throwing it 30 meters through the wall of a building on the opposite side of the street. Observation drone is directed further down Gold Street, which ends in a T-junction. Two vehicles (a heavily modified 1992 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 and a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee) approach from the right and left and crash headlong into one another at the center of the junction, resulting in a large explosion. Several SCP-3885-01 entities emerge unharmed from the flames, laughing and lighting cigars off the wreckage and one another's burning clothing. ROAD-09 is directed into the ruin of an automotive garage, where two SCP-3885-01 can be seen standing in the service area near a hydraulic elevator jack, engaged in conversation. One, designated here as A, possesses four arms and is wearing worn work clothes with a chef's apron bearing the legend “KISS MY GRITS” in colorful print. The other, designated B, is taller, wearing ill-fitting motorcycle leathers, broken sunglasses, and smoking two cigars. SCP-3885-01-A: Nah dude, Rammy told me, that shit works. Like, hot sauce is hot, right? It's got like, temperature in it. And you want that shit in there to be hot as possible, and you know how gas is like, cold until you light it? So, you put hot sauce in the gas tank. That makes the gas spicy so it can burn better. SCP-3885-01-B: That's fucking dumb dude. Gas doesn't have a tongue, so how could it taste itself? SCP-3885-01-A: No, no man, it's like… it's like science and shit. It's chemicals. Chemicals is good for cars. SCP-3885-01-B: You're a chemical. SCP-3885-01-A: Fuck you dude, you're a chemical. Pause. SCP-3885-01-B picks up a strap wrench from the tool chest it is leaning on. SCP-3885-01-B: What the fuck even is this? A shitty dildo? SCP-3885-01-A laughs. SCP-3885-01-A: Oh Paulie. You're so fucking stupid. That's a Norwegian flange rectifier. Vikings use them to put horns on their hot rods, which is metal, but it's also fancy, because it's Europe. SCP-3885-01-B inserts the strap wrench into its mouth briefly. SCP-3885-01-B: Tastes like a screwdriver. I think this is just a weird screwdriver. For idiots. SCP-3885-01-B throws the strap wrench across the room. SCP-3885-01-B: I hate it. It's floppy. SCP-3885-01-A: Whatever dude. Oh dude, I heard the boss is gonna be here soon. SCP-3885-01-B: What? Nuh-uh. SCP-3885-01-A: Yeah-huh, Joey Fucknuts told me. SCP-3885-01-B narrows its eyes. SCP-3885-01-B: Well… Joey Fucknuts is a genius. I saw him eat a headlight once. SCP-3885-01-A: I know, right? He knows like, everything. And yeah, he says the boss is gonna be here. SCP-3885-01-B: Why though? Are we in trouble? I think we're doing a really good job. We set a rock on fire yesterday. Rocks don't burn, dude. SCP-3885-01-A: No, no, I think it's because of those dudes outside. SCP-3885-01-B: Those dudes? I like those dudes. They talk fancy and give us cars. We don't have to like, go fuck with people anymore. I didn't like fucking with people. It made me sad. SCP-3885-01-A: Yeah but, like, we can't leave. I think we're supposed to leave and do shit. SCP-3885-01-B: What shit? SCP-3885-01-A: Dude, the boss fucking told us when he put us here. The shit. The shit we're supposed to do all over the place out there. The super fucking metal badass excellent shit. SCP-3885-01-B: Yeah but what shit, though? SCP-3885-01-A: … I don't remember. It is currently unclear how SCP-3885-01 continue to find access to items such as fuel and tobacco products despite not being provided with these materials by the Foundation. It is suspected that this anomalous method of resupply is somehow related to the entity referred to by SCP-3885-01 as “the boss”. Investigation is ongoing.

SCP-3886 | euclid | Picture of H████ Y██████ (highlighted) circa 1931 Item #: SCP-3886 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3886-01 is to be detained in a standard humanoid containment cell in Site-102’s Low-Threat Humanoid Wing. To encourage compliance with Foundation staff, SCP-3886-01 may be granted requested reading and recreational items pending approval of Site administration. Under no circumstances outside of testing is SCP-3886-01 to be allowed access to SCP-3886 (which itself is to be kept in a locked storage box in Site-102’s Safe Object Wing). Testing may occur with oversight from at least one Level 3 personnel. Should current containment procedures fail or SCP-3886-01 become uncooperative with Foundation interests, punitive measures, from restriction of privileges to termination of SCP-3886-01 are authorized given the assent of Site-102 administration and the current overseeing researcher. Description: SCP-3886 is a leather English dressage saddle of early 20th century design. SCP-3886 is uniformly black in color, with no ornamentation save for silver clasps at the terminating ends of its girth and billets. Despite its current state of tarnish and moderate disrepair, SCP-3886 is seemingly impervious to all further forms of damage or alteration. When first acquired by the Foundation in ██/██/2010, SCP-3886 was believed to be neutralized (with only Document-3886-01 certifying its prior abilities.) It has since been realized that such only represented a temporary 'passive' state, with containment procedures being updated accordingly. An active state is achieved upon SCP-3886 making physical contact with a relative of French-American immigrant and equestrian carnival performer, ‘H████ Y██████’. Once this occurs, said relative (from here on labeled SCP-3886-011) is physically incapable of moving more than 1.6 kilometers from SCP-3886 and may engage SCP-3886's active effect, as follows: If the active SCP-3886 is attached to a recently deceased body2 of a sufficiently sized animal3, the animal (now termed SCP-3886-02) will animate and seek out SCP-3886-01. Upon reaching SCP-3886-01, this SCP-3886-02 will attempt to interact with the subject in a variety of playful and theatrical manners and will obey all commands of SCP-3886-01, verbal and otherwise, to the best of its ability. Certain elements of this link (including SCP-3886-01 claiming to be able to ‘see’ the containment chamber in which the current instance of SCP-3886-02 was stored) are not entirely understood. In its active state, living horses (Equus caballus) react with panic upon becoming aware of SCP-3886's presence. Addendum-3886-A: After intensive psychological screenings, it has been determined that SCP-3886-01's prior personality and Foundation loyalty remains intact. Special Containment Procedures revised. Addendum-3886-B: Recovery: SCP-3886 was intercepted by embedded Foundation agents on ██/██/2010 after being sold to a subsidiary of Marshall, Carter and Dark by an unknown beneficiary. Included was Document-3886-01, the personal journal of one H████ Y██████ (believed to have owned SCP-3886 before its anomalous attributes became apparent). Document-3886-01 Excerpt July 14, 1932, The Personal Journal of H████ Y██████ (translated from the original French) “Another day, another performance. Today we stopped at Cincinnati. It's a beautiful city I think. The kind of city where I could see myself quietly spending the rest of my days with my family had I the choice. Streetcars zoom along the clear roads, everyone walks about to work as if half the world wasn't starving or begging for scrap. Hell, for the first time in months we had a full booking. I wish I could be happy about that. Mr. Sherwood spoke to me in private yesterday and it's been all I have been able to think of since. He said my 'loyalty' to the Barnum & Bailey Circus warranted a prior warning, but apparently, once we reach Louisville tomorrow, I will be ‘let go.’ According to him, horse-acts aren't good enough anymore. I am 'just not earning' my 'keep.' And after all I have done for this circus… Even now, I just want to punch that two-faced, son-of-a-bitch right in the nose. It wouldn't help. He'd probably have me arrested. But God it would feel good. As if that was not bad enough, I received a letter today from Mary that our dear Jezebel has taken a fever. The doctor did all he could, but even he could not say if she would make it through. The thought that my baby girl might even now be in the Father’s arms gives me the chills. One last thing before I say my prayers. A man approached me after the show today. His face was all lopsided, upside down, some accident he said. He claimed he was a representative of a rival circus, a talent scout. And… well, he offered me a job. He didn't seem all that happy about it, said an ‘opening had been made,’ but still, I do not have many other options. I couldn't give him my decision then, however I think I will take him up on his offer if it still stands. He gave me an address to reach him should I change my mind. I need to get some sleep. Till tomorrow then. -H████ Y██████" (According to a local newspaper, H████ Y██████ disappeared three days after the writing of this entry, along with his characteristic saddle (believed to be SCP-3886). The man's body was never found and no search of notable measure was undertaken.) INPUT LEVEL 03 CLEARANCE Clearance Accepted TESTING LOG 3886-01 The following is an abridged list of tests performed with SCP-3886 in conjunction with SCP-3886-01. For a complete testing log, please submit a formal request with Site-102 administration. Test # Test Objective Testing Parameters Result Researcher Notes Test-05 After becoming aware of SCP-3886-01’s claim to be able to ‘feel’ SCP-3886-02 instances, even when separated, Dr. Rie devised the following test procedures. SCP-3886-01, monitored by a team of two medical staff and two overseeing security personnel, was mildly sedated and placed under an fMRI. SCP-3886-02, ‘Lucky’ was again moved to a common testing chamber and -while wearing SCP-3886- was introduced a variety of stimuli (including but not limited to: a feather, the scent of cinnamon, a candle being waved beneath the nose, the removal of a 2” by 2” patch of skin from the haunches, electric shock and the right hind leg being broken). Testing was discontinued for the day after SCP-3886-01 became violent: screaming and attempting to break containment. ‘What scans we did receive before the subject became resistant were remarkable. It appears as if there is a mild sympathetic link between SCP-3886-01 and -02 instances. Still, I am afraid I must suggest that we cease testing with the ‘Lucky’ instance. It seems the subject has developed an emotional/ sentimental attachment which is hindering the progress of our experiments.’ -Head Researcher, Dr. Arnold Rie Test-14 This was the first test in which SCP-3886 was used on an animal not of the genus family ‘Equidae’. As with previous experiments, the proposed SCP-3886-02 cadaver (in this case, that of a large Great Dane4) was placed in the center of the testing chamber, with SCP-3886-01 and an escort of four armed security personnel entering after. While testing progressed much like those previous, with the SCP-3886-02 animating as expected, the interactions between SCP-3886-01 and SCP-3886-02 were notably more muted. SCP-3886-02 moved awkwardly, and seemed to be attempting a ‘prancing,’ horse-like motion. Upon the cessation of testing SCP-3886-01 offered the statement: “That- just felt wrong, somehow.” ‘I believe we are now ready for human testing.’ -Head Researcher, Dr. Arnold Rie Test-22 Human testing Same as Test-14, this time utilizing the corpse of D-1458 [LEVEL 04 CLEARANCE REQUIRED] [LEVEL 04 CLEARANCE REQUIRED] Document-3886-01, passage extracts: July 23, 1932 “I do not know where to start with this. To be quite frank, I fear that if a man had told me of half the things I have seen these last few days, I would have called him mad. Indeed, perhaps I myself am mad. Would not madness be a comforting prospect as opposed to being witness to such horrors and wonders as have been shown to me? Creatures as alien as they are beautiful. Stage props that ignore the laws of nature. Music that can change a person’s mind. A tiger that can make people fly like balloons. This place is like some sort of dream… or nightmare. And despite all of this, I still do not really know why I am here. I had a brief audience with the man supposedly in charge of the carnival, Mr. Fuller, (a man whose nondescript manner was equally as befuddling to me as the impossible spectacles he presides over), but when I asked what he expected of me specifically, he was cryptic. I had thought when Manny -as the upside-down faced is commonly called here- offered me this position it would be in the same capacity as that of my previous one. Yet it has been days now and I have not so much as seen a horse on the grounds, let alone begun preparing a show. I am certain I will feel better after hearing from Mary. I will be writing her a letter after finishing this entry and will, with any luck, be able to find some sort of post with which to send it. At very least I received news in Louisville that our darling Jezebel is still with us, thank the merciful lord. Till tomorrow. -H████ Y██████" July 24, 1932 "I have good news on two fronts. First, Mr. Manny has secured me 8 well-bred circus horses with which I may begin to fashion my new act. I am still not entirely certain how he expects me to compare to my certainly more spectacular peers, however I will attempt not to -if one will pardon my saying- ‘look a given horse in the mouth,’ as it were. Second, having tried and failed to find some form of postage, I at long last posed an inquiry with Mr. Manny about my predicament and he was more than willing to spirit the communique on its course. I am uncertain how Mary will react to that which I have intoned on that page, though as long as she takes the money enclosed within, I am contented. Mad or not, I must do this for them. Till tomorrow. -H████ Y██████" August 10, 1932 "I am worried. At first I thought I could handle this, forming a show from scratch. Yet now, with all these additions Mr. Fuller is insistent on adding it is working both me and the animals into exhaustion. I practice with them, day and night. By God, I dream about the damn practices! It is all no good. I can't do it, I just can't! Perhaps that was the real reason Mr. Sherwood dismissed me, all those days or weeks or months ago (I do not know which, time is… foggy). I, for all I deny it, am simply too poor an equestrian. I never trained officially. All I have learned, I have taught myself. And it is not enough. What is worse, I still have not received any word from Mary. I have written her at least ten times since my initial letter, but Manny claims he has yet to receive any correspondence in return. Could it truly be that she thinks me mad? I hope not. Perhaps, one day, when this business is all over, I will be able to return to her and Jezebel. This is all for them, afterall. I think I need a drink. Till tomorrow. -H████ Y██████" August 16, 1932 "Mr. Fuller came today to see an example of how my work had progressed… I doubt he was impressed. The horses were a mess, all stepping out of sync, stopping suddenly at even the most momentary distractions; one almost bucked me off while I was riding it. If anything, I think they have gotten worse under my tutelage. When the whole disastrous ordeal was over, the Ringmaster had already left. I fear the worst. I have already begun packing my things, but I cannot seem to find my saddle. Papa always said that it is during these times that men must reconcile with themselves. He was right. It was not until now, left with the prospect of losing this work, that I can finally see my own lies. In truth, I did not take this job out of devotion to my wife or daughter, though I love them both dearly. There is no security in this work- no prospects- nothing on which one can build a family. No, I took on this job for the same reason I left them to travel with the Barnum & Bailey Circus in the first place: selfishness. Writing that out really does not make me feel better about it. Till tomorrow. -H████ Y██████" August 19, 1932 "Mr. Fuller… he offered me a solution to my predicament. And I- well- I- NO- NO- NO- This is not right. How am I even thinking about doing something like this?! It is sick! It is wrong! Could I even look at myself in the mirror if I went through with it? How could I ever be a father to Jezebel? How could I ask forgiveness for something so heinous? Would I even deserve it? What Mr. Fuller is offering though- all my dreams, since I was a little boy, of riding horses with natural talent, having the animal move as I do, breath as I do, respond to the slightest command. Oh, he made it clear, it is my choice. But what kind of choice is that? -H████ Y██████" [UNDATED] "I did it. I just… I did it and I want whoever is reading this to know, I am not proud of it. I am not. I still have the blood on my hands. I cant get it off. It is everywhere. The saddle- (I want to retch just thinking about it) was covered in it, thick, viscous blood and mucus and black milk and- and so many other fluids, all mixed together. But, when it was all over, I could hear it. It was in my mind, just as I was in its. And it moved. And I moved. And God, now I am laughing and crying and heaving through my stomach is empty. The Man is rebranding my show, the posters were already drawn up. I walked past one back on my way to my room: “SEE THE MAGNIFICENT, H████ Y██████, THE NECROMANCER EQUESTRIAN EXTRAORDINAIRE!” Somewhere in my chest I can feel a sinking dread. I fear this is what Mr. Fuller had always intended. -H████ Y██████" INPUT LEVEL 04 CLEARANCE Clearance Accepted TEST-LOG-22 DESCRIPTION: Test-22 was approved by Site-102 administration on ██/██/2016. This test was meant to determine as to if SCP-3886 could be practically employed as a method of covert infiltration/ data extraction with captured enemy cadavers. D-1458 was instructed to memorize a sequence of 14 geometric shapes over a period of seven days (being informed that successful repetition at the end of seven days would earn the subject freedom.) The subject was then summarily terminated. [15:17:27]: SCP-3886-01, holding SCP-3886, enters test chamber accompanied by four armed guards. [15:17:45]: SCP-3886-01 is instructed to place SCP-3886 on cadaver of D-1458. [15:17:52]: SCP-3886-01 refuses to comply with orders. [15:18:01]: SCP-3886-01 is reminded that refusal to comply with Foundation staff orders during testing may result in punitive measures. [15:18:06]: SCP-3886-01 approaches and fastens SCP-3886-01 around D-1458’s chest. [15:18:35]: D-1458 does not move for a period of fifteen minutes, during which security staff approach the cadaver and signal to call off testing. [15:33:41]: D-1458, from here on dubbed ‘SCP-3886-03,’ gasps and, with unprecedented agility, leaps to its feet. Security personnel and SCP-3886-01 retreat to the edge of the containment chamber, though D-1458 does not seem to notice them. [15:33:52]: D-1458, standing remarkably still and not exhibiting any autonomic functions (breathing, blinking, even minute movement of the eyes), begins to speak. The voice is anomalously amplified by unknown means, the words of which seem to emanate somewhere within the entity’s chest as opposed to via D-1458’s mouth. [15:33:52]: “LADIES, GENTLEMEN, UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS OF ALL AGES, I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU ALL TO HERMAN FULLER'S CIRCUS OF THE DISQUIETING!” [15:33:59]: “TODAY YOU ARE IN FOR A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OCCASION. TODAY, TO THIS VERY STAGE, THERE COMES A MAN- NEIGH, A CREATURE, FROM BEYOND THE ASHEN WAVES OF THE BALTIC SEA, WHO RULES OVER SEVEN UNEARTHLY KINGDOMS AND STRIKES FEAR INTO THE HEARTS OF ALL WHO GAZE UPON HIS HORRIBLE VISAGE- A FRIGHTENING AND POWERFUL NECROMANCER WHOSE EQUESTRIAN DANSE MACABRE WILL PUT ALL OTHERS BEFORE AND AFTER IT TO SHAME: I GIVE YOU, THE ONE, THE ONLY: LORD H████ Y██████!” [15:34:04]: SCP-3886-03 smiles, applauding politely for thirty seconds before suddenly slumping back to the floor, inert. NOTES: "SCP-3886-01 claims to not have had any control over SCP-3886-03’s actions during this event. Repeated testing will be necessary to confirm this avenue closed, but for now, the results do not look promising. Of further interest, during post-event autopsy, it was found that there was a large amount of an unidentified black-fluid like substance built up in SCP-3886-03’s heart, lungs and stomach. The purpose of this fluid and its relation to SCP-3886 is unknown. Substance analysis is inconclusive at this time." -SCP-3886 Head Researcher, Dr. Arnold Rie December 3, 1983 (The following was the final entry in Document-3886-01. Unlike all previous entries, it is written in English.) “‘Once in a lifetime’ my ass. It's all a lie of course, a little lie, a lie the audience knows is a lie, just like my being some ‘powerful necromancer’ or whatever other spin Manny thinks will draw in the crowds. But it is a lie nonetheless. My life has been built on lies, even before I joined this circus. I lied to my wife about why my running off to the carnival was for her sake. I lied to my daughter when I promised I would come home one day. I lied to myself when I thought I was being honest. But of all the masses Manny can bewitch with his multitude of convenient un-truths, the only one he can never convince is Mr. Fuller himself. To Mr. Fuller, I am a disappointment. Even now, even after I gave up my life, my conscience, perhaps even my soul, to the man, to serve in this little demented caravan, I can never be the thing he was truly looking for all those years ago when he sent Manny to fetch me: A replacement. I have heard her name, or whispers of it at least. A real necromancer- not some fake stage-artist with a saddle polluted by Lovecraftian profanity like me. No she, that ‘Bog Witch’ made flesh and bone sing. I heard the two might've been a bit more than colleagues, but you can never trust clown-talk. And then, one day, she ran away from him. Of course, he took precautions with me. You know it took me four years before I noticed that little sub clause of the contract? There I was, thinking about how I would repent my sins, flee and forget this entire nightmare ever happened. I didn't make it to the treeline before that damned saddle yanked me back like I was some dog pulling on the edge of its fucking leash. So here I am. Older. No wiser. I have seen things no one man my age should ever see. I have looked up from the surface of alien planets. I have performed in front of audiences of undulating souls. I have talked with Clowns and danced with the dead. And I am tired of it all. My only hope is that Mr. Fuller will not continue his vain search in my absence. May this saddle, and all my failures it represents, rest in peace.“ This document, dubbed Document-3886-02, was discovered affixed to the bottom of SCP-3886 after initial recovery on ██/██/2010. “Dear My Upside-down Friend So, by now you have no doubt heard the news. I am sure Icky and her Clowns are pleased; we never did get along. I apologize that I have not left you with much time for what must be done, but you and I both knew it would come to this. Fuller is growing worse day by the day and if I didn't do this on my own terms, he certainly would have on his. That Clown magic I performed on that saddle, I didn't just sell away my own soul that day- I sold away Jezebel’s as well. ‘Sins of the fathers’ and all that. You have seen what Herman is willing to do to achieve his own ends. Do you really think for a second that he won't go after my girl? I may not have been the best father. She probably does not even know who I am. But, even so, I refuse to let this man… this thing, or his damned Circus, have her. Enclosed within this package is the saddle, my personal journal and what little money I have earned over these last five decades. With the last, I hope that you get it to Jezebel, she should be out of that orphanage by now. For the other two I only ask that you get rid of them. Put them somewhere Fuller will never look. … Did you know I still see my wife? Even after all these years, every time I sit atop that thing, every time I look in one of those corpse’s glassy eyes, I see her. She still screams in my head, begging me to stop as I plunge the knife into her chest. But I don't stop. Not even in my dreams. Again and again, her blood drips onto the saddle. It mixes with that awful black stuff. It pools in my fists. It is time for me to pay for my crimes, Manny. If hell exists, I walk to it willingly. -H████ Y██████" Footnotes 1.

SCP-3887 | euclid | SCP-3887-A's bed under SCP-3887-B influence Item #: SCP-3887 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3887-A is to be housed within a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-17. A one-way mirror is to be positioned on the opposite side of the bed. At least two personnel should be stationed in the observation room at all times. SCP-3887-A must receive a vitamin integrator with its ordinary food intake due to minor health issues. To maintain SCP-3887-A's mental health and ensure its cooperation, it has been allowed control of the lights inside its cell. In case of emergency, control of said lights can still be overridden by monitoring personnel in the observation room to limit or otherwise impair aggressive behavior from SCP-3887-B. SCP-3887-A must be supplied with new socks every three days. Since containment, SCP-3887-A has made the following requests: One computer with internet connection. (Denied.) One computer with access to SCP-3887-A's old game gallery. (Approved, under the condition any updates are made off-site.) A house cat. (Denied.) A gaming controller. (Approved.) Access to up-to-date entertainment media. (Approved.) Access to on-site recreational areas. (Denied. SCP-3887-A is allowed access to the on-site gym for health issues once per week while accompanied by at least one Level 03 Personnel provided with a 320 Lux flashlight.) Description: SCP-3887-A is a 24 year old woman of European descent, formerly known as █████ ██████. SCP-3887-A was a resident of █████, Missouri. SCP-3887-A has been in complete cooperation with the Foundation after the events of Incident-3887-A-1. SCP-3887-B is a humanoid entity 2.35 meters in height with skin that is greyish-green in color. It has two long horns growing from its forehead similar in form to an Oryx dammah (scimitar oryx), and long black hair growing from its head, neck and shoulder blades. SCP-3887-B's eyes have yellow sclera, with no visible pupil. SCP-3887-B's mouth hosts three rows of fangs, similar in shape and arrangement to the Carcharias taurus (bull shark). SCP-3887-B has elongated arms, forcing it to remain in a hunched posture and to move on all fours most of the time. It possesses a long hairless tail, similar to a Rattus norvegicus (common rat). SCP-3887-B possesses both male and female reproductive organs. Testing has shown that any substance or material presented to SCP-3887 so far is able to be used as sustenance, but it has shown a clear predilection for SCP-3887-A's socks. SCP-3887-B was initially believe to be capable of manifesting through any dark area within a 5 meter radius around SCP-3887-A, favoring the bed; after further testing, it has been noted SCP-3887-B can always manifest under whatever item SCP-3887-A identifies as its bed, regardless of its distance from SCP-3887-A. SCP-3887-B is extremely sensitive to light: its skin rapidly develops blisters and open wounds when exposed to levels of light above 20 Lux, forcing SCP-3887-B to flee and disappear into the closest dark area. The process through which it escapes is currently not understood, and is undergoing further study. DNA analysis of SCP-3887-B's tissue samples have revealed that it shares genetic material with Homo sapiens, Oryx dammah, Carcharias taurus, Rattus norvegicus, Rhinella marina (cane toad), and an unidentified additional genetic component. SCP-3887-B's presence has been observed to disrupt and damage digital recording devices, with said interference worsening the more of SCP-3887-B is exposed. SCP-3887-B has shown aversion towards Foundation personnel, but has avoided any hostile actions to date so as to not upset SCP-3887-A. SCP-3887-A has shown a strong emotional attachment to SCP-3887-B, and has often been observed acting in an affectionate manner with SCP-3887-B when they are alone. Incident 3887-A-1: SCP-3887-A and SCP-3887-B were recovered the ██/█/2014 after the reported death of ██████ Robert, SCP-3887-A's partner at the time, during a party. Eye-witnesses stated that SCP-3887-A's date was humiliating SCP-3887-A in front of the guests and acting in a demeaning manner, as was reported to be characteristic of their relationship. SCP-3887-B manifested itself under a table, assaulting ██████, until SCP-3887-A's date had her limbs completely severed, after which SCP-3887-B demanifested. When the authorities arrived, SCP-3887-A was in a state of shock. (See interrogation log 3887-A-1 for further details.) + Interview 3887-A-1 - close log Interviewer: Undercover Agent Bellamy. Interviewee: SCP-3887-A Notes: This interview was taken 2 hours after Incident-3387-A-1 Agent Bellamy: How are you feeling? SCP-3887-A: [Silence for approximately twenty seconds] What am I supposed to feel after what happened? I didn't… I didn't mean for it to happen, I didn't want that, I- Agent Bellamy: Please, Miss, take your time. SCP-3887-A: No… no, I'm okay, officer, I have to make it right, somehow… this is all my fault… Agent Bellamy: I see… Very well, maybe you can help us shed some light on what happened. The other eyewitnesses said that ██████ wasn't treating you very well before the incident happened, am I correct? SCP-3887-A: I… well, yes she was being a bit rough… [Silence for around four seconds] Agent Bellamy: And then the entity attacked. Is there anything you can tell me about that creature? Any idea why it attacked ██████? SCP-3887-A: I believe she was… trying to protect me? Oh god… [SCP-3887-A shows signs of distress] I… it's crazy, I always imagined I was crazy but… oh, you're going to think I'm a nutcase too! Agent Bellamy: I need to hear what you have to say before I make any decisions. Please, Miss █████, we need to make sure it doesn't hurt anyone else. Is there anything at all you can tell us? SCP-3887-A: Oh no! No, she wouldn't… she's not evil, I promise! She wouldn't hurt a fly, please… She- Grenda used to be my boogeyman. Agent Bellamy: Could you please elaborate? SCP-3887-A: W-Well, you know, when you're a kid, and you think the craziest things hide in the darkness? When I lived in ████, my parent's home was very, very old… An old farmhouse in the country, with this old barn filled with rats… we even had a well… anyway, there were always a lot of creaking noises. So, whenever I went to bed, she was the one stalking me in the dark, you know? I always saw her tail sticking out, or her pale arms reaching up to grab me. So I hid under the blankets, and… well, I was afraid. But I was very little. Sounds silly now, doesn't it? Agent Bellamy: Not at all. Please, continue. SCP-3887-A: So… w-well, she kept creeping under my bed, in the shadows, moving things, knocking things over… she was a mean one. My parents thought she was just something I made up to blame when stuff broke, even though it really was her fault. It all went on like this for years… I was a very lonely child. Agent Bellamy: I understand. So, when did you first realize it wasn't just something you made up? SCP-3887-A: When… well, first I started to see her less and less as I got older… what else would you expect, right? But when I was around 14, I think, maybe 15… she came back. It was late at night, my parents were arguing as usual, and I hid in my room. I was close to the bed and… she touched me. I was scared shitless, but we… talked. She has been with me since. She's a good person, I promise! Please, this was all my fault! Agent Bellamy: Thank you for your time, Miss █████. Some people will want to speak to you further. We'll keep you here until then. After the interview, SCP-3887-A was escorted to a secure cell before meeting Foundation personnel, who explained the situation. As long as SCP-3887-B would not be hurt, SCP-3887-A promised full cooperation. + Interview 3887-B-1 - close log Interviewer: Dr. Tanner Interviewee: SCP-3887-B Notes: This was the first interview made with SCP-3887-B. The interview occurred while SCP-3887-A was asleep after their arrival at their first stop in Site-██. SCP-3887-B addressed Dr. Tanner during a routine check of the room. It was the first observation of SCP-3887-B. SCP-3887-B: What are you looking for? There's nothing here but l'il old me. Dr. Tanner: What the- I- …sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you. Are you the entity SCP-3887-A spoke of? I would assume so. SCP-3887-B: Yeah, I would assume the same. Don't wake her. Poor deary needs her sleep. [Unidentified clicking noises] She hasn't done anything wrong, it was all my fault. Dr. Tanner: I assure you, this is not a punishment. We are doing this so she can be safe and protected. The same goes for you, too. We can keep you safe. SCP-3887-B: I am safe as long as she is. She was my child, and I have already broken enough rules now. And to add to that, now I've gotten her in trouble with her own people… Dr. Tanner: Can you elaborate? What do you mean when you say SCP-3887-A was "your child"? Isn't she ████ and ███████ ██████'s daughter? SCP-3887-B: Well, yeah, duh! I mean, kids are my kind's first source of food. Some, like me, just feast on fear, stress, and anxiety. While others tend to be a bit more… rough. What, didn't you have a monster under your bed too when you were a kid, smartypants? Dr. Tanner: Not that I can remember, no. SCP-3887-B: …Ok, weird. Anyway, I was supposed to feed on her 'til she was like, ten, and then move on to another kid; that's what we do, since children are such easy prey. But… I kinda got stuck with her. Look at her. She's so innocent and sweet. She was always so nice to me, even when she was scared. She started tossing me socks to use for a snack. SCP-3887-B: [SCP-3887-B emits a loud gurgling sound. Saliva is seen leaking from under the bed] SCP-3887-B: Then she started to grow up, she stopped calling to me… 'til her parents started their divorce. She needed someone to listen to her. Dr. Tanner: So, I take it you have a very good relationship with her. Could you elaborate on what rules you broke? The laws made by your kind? What can you tell me about your species? SCP-3887-B: I broke the rules, and they exiled me to my cave. I can't go back up there. But I can come out here… lemme show you… [The entity starts to emerge from under the bed. Video feed becomes increasingly more disturbed, showing Dr. Tanner stepping back as SCP-3887-B emerges.] + Interview 3887-A-23 - close log Interviewer: Dr. Garden Interviewee: SCP-3887-A Dr. Garden: Good morning SCP-3887-A, did you sleep well? SCP-3887-A: Yes, we did! Me and Grenda talked a lot, but I think it helped me sleep! Dr. Garden: That's good to hear. Now, today, I would like you to tell me a little more about the theory you told me about last time, about how SCP-3887-B came to be. Do you think we can tackle that? SCP-3887-A: Ah! Yeah, sure! I can do that. Dr. Garden: Ok, so last time you said you created SCP-3887-B based on what scared you. Can you elaborate on that? SCP-3887-A: Yeah, of course. It is quite simple actually… I mean, you have seen Grenda, haven't you? I find her cute now, but when I was a kid, she was very frightening. The teeth… like a shark. I remember my parents brought me to an aquarium once, and in one of the tanks there was this massive bull shark… it had the craziest look, and those fangs were so scary… and that night, go figure, Grenda smiled and I saw the same fangs. Dr. Garden: I understand. The same reasoning goes for the rest of its body? SCP-3887-A: Her body. But yes, I guess so. I can tell you for sure I was scared of the rats crawling through the fields around the house, and I… [SCP-3887-A pauses for 13 seconds] I mean, when I was little… like, very little, I was apparently scared of boobs, or at least that's what Mom used to tell me. Hence why Grenda has such a bloated chest. It does make sense, right? Dr. Garden: It would look like it. So, you think you are the cause for SCP-3887-B's existence? That it depends on you to exist? SCP-3887-A: It's the only thing that makes sense, right…? I made her, that's why she helps me, she keeps me company… she doesn't make me feel alone and she listens to me. With her I'm not really alone. I mean, when I don't need her, she vanishes, and she pops out again when I do. Dr. Garden: I understand. Thank you for your time, SCP-3887-A, we can stop here for today. + Interview 3887-B-7 - close log Interviewer: Dr. Garden Interviewee: SCP-3887-B Notes: The interview was taken while SCP-3887-A was taking part in its weekly training session. Dr. Garden: Good day, SCP-3887-B. SCP-3887-B: [Does not respond. Distorted video feed confirms the entity is present under the bed.] Dr. Garden: SCP-3887-B? Is everything okay? SCP-3887-B: I am hungry, woman. I have little patience for your questioning today. Dr. Garden: Hungry? I am quite sure we had SCP-3887-A feed you her socks yesterday. Were they not enough? SCP-3887-B: Socks are just a snack, woman! My race lives off fear! Even if she's an adult, █████ used to have all the fears and paranoia any functional adult would have. But now that she's here, she has calmed right down. It's not like she has much to worry about now, does she? Dr. Garden: Well, I understand you have her well-being in high consideration, shouldn't that be nice to know? SCP-3887-B: Of course I am, but I'm starving here! What trickles around here is not enough for me! I need more! Dr. Garden: I'm sure we can find a solution to this problem, I'll make sure to make my superiors aware. Now, about the interview- SCP-3887-B: I need to feed, I need to feed now! Dr. Garden: What the- Additional notes: At this point the camera feed becomes completely unstable, as Dr. Walker, who was stationed in the observation room at the time, reported that he watched as SCP-3887-B's arms emerge from under the bed and seized Dr. Garden before dragging her into the darkness, disappearing from the site. SCP-3887-A was immediately recalled to its room and prompted to call for SCP-3887-B, but without any apparent result. 13 minutes after disappearing, Dr. Garden was suddenly expelled from under the bed, bruised, completely wet, missing her shoes, glasses, and socks, but mostly unharmed. Dr. Garden was later interviewed. + Interview 3887-Alpha - close log Interviewer: Dr. Walker Interviewee: Dr. Garden Notes: This interview was taken after a preliminary medical check following the events of Interview Log-3887-B-7. Dr. Walker: How are you feeling, Amelia? Are you sure you want to do this now? It can wait after a proper medical exam and mental check, if you prefer. Dr. Garden: I'm fine, thank you. Do not treat me like a child. Let's get this over with. Dr. Walker: As you wish, then. Can you tell me what happened after SCP-3887-B grabbed you? Dr. Garden: Yes. After the entity grabbed me I immediately tried to free myself, even though I knew it would be almost impossible to get loose. It dragged me under the bed and into the darkness with it, but once I was beneath the bedframe… it pulled me downwards, as if through the floor. You know the sensation when you suddenly feel yourself falling? That sudden pull at your belly? I felt that. The lights of the room vanished, and it was all black. Pitch black. It lasted… I'd say 15 seconds? Yes, 15 seconds before I reached the ground. Dr. Walker: Was SCP-3887-B with you during all of this? Dr. Garden: It was holding on to me while I was falling, but once I reached the floor, it was nowhere. I… felt it was there, I just couldn't see it. But on the other hand, I could now see what was around me. I was in a cave, I'd say roughly 50 meters in diameter. Black rock; I think some kind of granite. There was a waterfall, a lake, and violet gems littering the walls. I would say amethysts, if not for the fact they were glowing. Like lots and lots of little candles. Oh, and there was a hole where sunlight was coming in through in the ceiling. Dr. Walker: Sunlight? Well, that is surprising. Nothing else particularly peculiar there? Dr. Garden: On the contrary. Right after I looked up, I noticed that there were lots of other holes in the cavern ceiling, but they were all dark. While looking at the sunny one, I noticed what appeared to be a ripped rope dangling from it. In the cave itself, there wasn't much. But on the large rock platform above the water, I found what I feel safe to assume is SCP-3887-B's home. I found piles of socks, some old-looking stuffed animals, a little violin, and at least three pictures of SCP-3887-A. Dr. Walker: I understand. What about SCP-3887-B? Dr. Garden: Ah, yes… well… during all of this, from the moment I ended up there up to once I emerged, I was terrified. I could hear that thing moving in the dark, stalking me… I admit, I felt like it was going to kill me. I could see her fangs, her eyes her… [Dr. Garden goes silent for 5 seconds] Its claws. Apologies. I was running around, screaming. I even fell in the water, lost my shoes in that blasted pond! I tried to find a hole to hide in, and I wouldn't be able to tell you how many times I fell on the ground, trying to run away from SCP-3887-B… and yet, I don't think I actually saw it even once. Dr. Walker: And how did you escape from there? Dr. Garden: Well… I was suddenly grabbed by SCP-3887-B. It felt like it appeared from the dark, but I was feeling so terrified I just as likely didn't see it approaching. She lifted me up… I think she smiled with all those jagged fangs… I was sure she- that was going to eat me when it rose me higher and opened its mouth. Instead, it grabbed my socks and pulled them off, then started to chew on them… I think it even said "thank you", before tossing me into one of the holes. I felt like I was being sucked away, there was darkness, that pulling again… and next thing I knew, I was back under the bed, with all of you around me. Dr. Walker: I see. Thank you, Amelia. I think we can conclude this interview here. Additional notes: After the incident, SCP-3887-A and SCP-3887-B were observed talking with one another. SCP-3887-A relayed SCP-3887-B's apologies to Dr. Garden. To date, SCP-3887-B has refused to bring anyone else into its home. |

Item #: SCP-3888 Special Containment Procedures: Research into the precise nature of SCP-3888, its root cause, and the potential to recover affected personnel or civilians is ongoing. All personnel are encouraged to submit any information they believe may be pertinent to SCP-3888 to the SCP-3888 crisis research committee. Foundation AI projects are currently authorized to identify and collect such information from civilian sources. Until further notice, Foundation personnel missing for unknown reasons and spikes in civilian disappearances beyond projected statistics are to be considered caused by the action of SCP-3888 unless proven otherwise. Law enforcement agencies have categorized most civilians affected by SCP-3888 as missing persons. The activities of such law enforcement agencies are to be monitored with heightened priority, but no further action against them is believed to be necessary or an efficient use of resources at this time. Civilian sources found attempting to link known disappearances to a single cause are to be considered targets for suppression on a case-by-case basis. The complete list of affected Foundation personnel is contained in Document 3888-A, and can be accessed by personnel with Level 2 clearance, while the complete list of all known or suspected victims can be accessed by personnel with Level 3/3888 clearance in Document 3888-B. Complete evidence logs can be accessed by personnel with Level 3/3888 clearance via Documents 3888-C and 3888-D, and the original copies of evidence may be accessed by personnel with 3888 clearance. Current hypotheses as to the nature of SCP-3888 and possible future countermeasures can be accessed by personnel with 3888 clearance in Document 3888-E. Description: SCP-3888 is the theoretical unified origin of a series of anomalous phenomena related to the recent disappearance of 54 Foundation personnel and an estimate of at least [REDACTED]1 civilians, with no direct, human eyewitnesses. Collected evidence suggests that most, if not all, affected persons disappeared between 22:00 and 23:00 (local time in known cases) on 03/01/2017. Initially, multiple disappearances noticed on Foundation security footage and intercepted from civilian sources were reported as Potential Extranormal Events. However, early assessments of material recovered from the quarters of Dr. Brook, Dr. Lem, and the former O5-█ suggested the possibility that some persons affected by SCP-3888 events were aware of the imminent nature of their disappearances, and of a possible root cause. While the exact nature of SCP-3888 or such a root cause is not understood from current research, the disappearances received a collective SCP classification in light of their widespread nature and further evidence indicating that many victims had prior awareness (refer to Addendum 1). Circumstantial evidence and recovered video footage of SCP-3888 events suggests that most objects carried by affected persons, including clothing, disappeared at the same time as the affected persons. Recovered video footage of SCP-3888 events sometimes display evidence of tampering2, but the cause of this is unknown and believed at present to be anomalous rather than mundane. Video footage also demonstrates differing modes of disappearance between affected persons, some simply disappearing between recorded frames while others are subject to possible anomalous phenomenon which remove them from observation (refer to Addendum 1). Signs of a struggle are sometimes present at locations in which persons seem to have disappeared or in portions of recovered video footage. While evaluation is ongoing, this seems to have occurred in relatively few cases. Furthermore, it is currently believed probable that affected persons with any prior awareness of the SCP-3888 event and/or its cause were unwilling or unable to inform their friends and coworkers about SCP-3888 in any capacity. The reason for this is unknown. Addendum 1 - Recovered Media and Evidence of SCP-3888 Event: Below is a partial list of evidence compiled from Documents 3888-C and 3888-D regarding the SCP-3888 event and its aftermath, consisting primarily of Foundation sources. Additional representative data from civilian disappearances is pending review of further civilian sources. Video Log Transcript: Footage obtained from security camera at Westminster Underground Station, London, taken 03/01/2017, recovered by ██████.███. On-duty security guards were apprehended and amnesticized. <Begin Log> 22:47:33: Civilian identified as Caroline ██████ enters station. No other persons are present. 22:47:51: Video feed is affected for five seconds by distortions similar to compression artifacts. 22:48:06: ██████ quickly looks up and glances around the station, apparently startled, and backs up against a nearby wall. 22:48:13: ██████ appears to "fall" diagonally through the adjacent wall and station platform. <End Log> Closing Statement: Footage corroborated later by records obtained from additional security cameras. Interviewed: Dr. Emmett Bell Interviewer: Dr. Simon Hayes Foreword: Excerpt from a routine psychological evaluation of Dr. Bell following the disappearance of Research Assistant Julian Abram during the SCP-3888 event. <Begin Partial Log> Dr. Hayes: Back up a little. You mentioned that Abram complained about nightmares? Dr. Bell: I, uh, shouldn't really have put it that way I guess. He just mentioned it once, before we were dissecting the brain of SCP-███, but that was only a couple of days before. [pause] Dr. Hayes: Go on. Dr. Bell: He didn't say much about it. More like an, um, impression than anything vivid. Something had just reminded him of a feeling from the dream though. [pause] Just before I came in the room I think. Something about how quiet it was. Dr. Hayes: He didn't describe anything further? Nothing about why the dream was relevant, why he mentioned it? Dr. Bell: I honestly don't know. [pause] Uh, I didn't really ask him anything else about it. Certainly didn't seem as important as preparing the cadaver at the time; we had to get started before cell death was complete. Dr. Hayes: But Abram seemed upset, didn't he? Dr. Bell: Uncomfortable. Figured it was a natural thing for him, not really our problem. <End Log> Closing Statement: Research Assistant ███ has taken on the role of Abram in Dr. Bell's work. Dr. Bell seems to have suffered relatively minimal psychological disturbance following the disappearance of Abram. E-mail recovered by ██████.███.██, sent from Roger ███████ to David ██████ at 20:55 on 03/01/2017. Roger ███████ was reported missing on 03/07/2017. Subject: Next week's meeting Hi Dave, Apologies about the row today; it won't happen again. I actually should be ready for our conference with ████████, I'll just need to devote a bit more time to the presentation. Might do that from home instead of the office if that'd still be helpful to you. I don't think that I'll be able to get into the city tomorrow. Best, Roger Interviewed: Dr. Adeline Renaud Interviewer: Agent ████ ██████ Foreword: Excerpt from an interview of Dr. Renaud by her request, involving information pertinent to the disappearance of Dr. Arthur Brook. <Begin Partial Log> Agent ██████: So, uh, when did you last see Dr. Brook? Dr. Renaud: It was on March first, but before it all happened. This was just after reviewing the new transmission intercepted by the ███████ █████ around SCP-████; I was getting lunch and he was sitting with ████ and me in the canteen. He… [pause] he had a piece of paper with him. Folded in his pocket, but he was taking it out and glancing it over every so often. Sometimes muttering a bit to himself, not loud enough for me to hear. Thought it was a bit odd at the time because I couldn't immediately see any writing on the page. Agent ██████: "Immediately?" Dr. Renaud: Yeah, he set it down for a few seconds at one point. There was just one sentence typed in the middle of the page, rather large font. I remember it said "How are you feeling today?" Agent ██████: Lemme guess. You didn't ask him what it meant. Dr. Renaud: Well, no. I thought it seemed personal; I didn't want him to think I was prying. Agent ██████: Dr. Renaud, do you personally know of anyone whom he would have received that sort of message from? Anyone he confided in? Dr. Renaud: [pause] No, I don't think I do. Should I? <End Log> Closing Statement: A folded piece of paper with the phrase "Not much longer." typed in the center of it was recovered from Dr. Brook's quarters following his disappearance. Dr. Brook's bookcase was overturned. The paper is currently stored as evidence, alongside Dr. Brook's journal, and displays no known anomalous properties. Final entry of Dr. Isaac Lem's journal, recovered from his quarters 03/02/2017 03/01/2017 - We've still been trying to figure out some way to mitigate the number of civilians being affected by SCP-████, but none of our attempts at telepathic shielding, not even [REDACTED]. There's actually a motion to vote on testing the █████ amnestic with groups of D-Class and assessing the effects before moving onto [REDACTED] gets too much worse. More wool with which to cover our eyes and plug our ears. Can't say that's not what the Foundation's always been selling. Won't be something I have to deal with at least. Not when I finally have a choice. Hello. Video Log Transcript: Footage observed from security camera in Site-77, Medical Wing, Room 33 on 03/01/2017. Researcher Ross Liao is the room's current inpatient, undergoing treatment for chemical burns inflicted by SCP-████. <Begin Log> 22:55:19: Dr. █████ dims lights and exits room. Liao remains in a supine position with his eyes closed. 22:56:13: Liao turns his head slightly and opens his eyes, then appears to speak for the next 24 seconds.3 22:56:38: Liao returns to a supine position and closes his eyes, appearing contended. 22:57:04: Liao begins to vanish over the course of 8 seconds, during which he becomes continuously more transparent to visible and IR wavelengths until he seems no longer present. The bed sheet formerly covering his body collapses after this point. <End Log> Closing Statement: Medical equipment, including the cannula which had been inserted into Liao's cephalic vein, remained in the room following his disappearance. Traces of Liao's cerebrospinal fluid were detected on the bed's pillow. The reason for this is currently unknown. Thought I'd come and talk more. I've missed listening to you. Interviewed: Dr. Giles Blanc Interviewer: Agent ██████ █████ Foreword: Excerpt from an interview of Dr. Blanc by his request, involving information pertinent to the disappearance of Junior Researcher Monika Rubin. <Begin Partial Log> Agent █████: Well, where did you think that Rubin had gone off to? Dr. Blanc: Hell if I know. I was already up to my ears with the fallout from [REDACTED]; you know how difficult it is to make sure the right half of a department forgets they'd just listened [REDACTED]. Agent █████: [REDACTED]. Please, back to Rubin. Dr. Blanc: Right, right. [pause] She didn't show up the day after all that; I figured she was probably taking a day off, though she hadn't been one of the infected as far as we knew. Might've considered reprimanding her if she'd come to see me the next day, but when she still wasn't showing up, and after the news about SCP-3888 finally poured in, I gave you notification. And then we found that… [pause] drawing she'd made in her notes. Agent █████: Of course. But following the event, why weren't you keeping tabs on her? Dr. Blanc: [pause] Maybe I should've. I was busy making sure everyone else was fine. <End Log> Closing Statement: Dr. Blanc has received an official reprimand for failing to exhibit responsibility for his staff. Scans of the last several pages of Junior Researcher Rubin's notes have been added to Document 3888-C. Thanks :) I'm glad we can still have time together like this. It's like we're the only ones who can really understand each other. How have things been in the laboratory lately? Video Log Transcript: Footage observed from security camera in Site-81, C Wing, Lab 56 on 03/01/2017 <Begin Log> 22:08:23: Dr. Gabriel Langley enters room and sits down near the main lab bench. He produces his lab notebook and begins to read from it. 22:09:13: Researcher █████████, the only other person present, exits room. Dr. Langley immediately closes his notebook and begins to stare unresponsively at the benchtop. 22:14:47: Dr. Langley begins to rest his head on his hands. 22:15:35: Dr. Langley stands up and turns leftward, starting to smile. 22:15:41: Dr. Langley vanishes between recorded frames. <End Log> Closing Statement: Dr. Langley's lab notebook was recovered. All pages had been rendered blank by unknown means. Researcher █████████ has been questioned and was found ignorant of the anomalous occurrences. Hey, it's okay to cry. It's okay. I know how hard it must be. You shouldn't feel that you have to blame yourself. Video Log Transcript: Footage observed from Camera 2 of Site-19's Euclid Wing, Hallway 12, on 03/01/2017 <Begin Log> 22:28:56: Dr. Philip Orellana enters the camera's right field of view and is observed walking through the hallway. 22:29:11: Dr. Orellana exits the camera's left field of view. 22:30:20: Dr. Orellana enters the camera's right field of view, initially appearing to act in a visually identical manner to his previous appearance. However, an open wound is now located above his left eye. 22:30:24: Dr. Orellana abruptly flinches and covers his ears with both hands, no longer walking. He appears confused and examines his surroundings while moving the fingers of his left hand over the wound. 22:30:35: Dr. Orellana removes his hands from his head and begins running in place. Footage begins to become affected by corrupted pixels at irregular intervals. 22:31:57: Dr. Orellana stumbles, regains his footing, then continues to run in place. 22:32:44: Dr. Orellana begins running forward and exits the camera's left field of view. <End Log> Closing Statement: Dr. Orellana was not recorded leaving his quarters after having been seen entering them at 21:58:49. Dr. Orellana was not recorded on Camera 1 or 3 of Hallway 12 despite the positions of the camera feeds, and was not recorded on any cameras located in adjacent rooms or hallways. But no matter who ignores you, I'll always be here to listen. I'll find you no matter how lost you become :) Video Log Transcript: Footage observed from security camera at [REDACTED]. Security Officers ███, █████████, and Federica Salucci respond to a containment breach of SCP-███. <Begin Log> 22:18:56: SCP-███ enters room. ███, █████████, and Salucci open fire. 22:19:05: █████████ is attacked. 22:19:13: █████████ declared KIA. 22:19:24: ███ retreats to adjacent room as SCP-███ continues assault. 22:19:27: Salucci ceases fire, then lays her weapon down at her feet. 22:19:31: Salucci vanishes between recorded frames. <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-███ temporarily ceased aggressive action after the disappearance of Salucci. Successfully recontained. █ total casualties. Post-Incident Review determined that ███ had not witnessed the recorded scene during his retreat. I'm sorry. I hope I'm not just making this worse… Yet I think I still understand. And I think that I can help you. You know that it doesn't have to be like this forever. You won't have to be hurt by them anymore. Final entry of Junior Researcher Rosalind Taylor's journal, recovered from her quarters 03/02/2017 February 27th, Spent most of the day gathering up [REDACTED] and completing the NMR analysis. I'm not sure what Dr. ████ is expecting. It's never consistent, and no matter how much data we have it's not like any enriched substance that ignores reality that much is going to start being on the periodic table. These things are anomalies, and such conventional tools just don't seem to apply to this one. The higher-ups know that. That's probably why they've got me doing the grunt-work right now. Maybe I'm just being defeatist. I've only just been realizing just how much technology has been realized thanks to these things. Wish I could work on the Reality Stabilizers myself. I doubt that'll ever be my specialty though. And not even those work against most of what's locked up on this site alone. And the real outside world won't get to see any of this. I'll keep plugging away at this project for now, but I've been feeling so empty lately. I'm tired but can never get myself to fall asleep. I'm still working alone and Dr. ████ barely talks to me. I eat alone in the canteen. The last time I've gotten a note from so much as a note was three days ago. I don't know what to expect. Wouldn't you like that? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

SCP-3889 | keter | close Info X SCP-3889: The Greatest Fisherman Who Ever Lived Author: CadaverCommander Image Credit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pedrosimoes7/449314732/sizes/l/ More by this author Item#: 3889 Level4 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: danger link to memo SCP-3889, circa 1947 Special Containment Procedures: Direct physical containment of SCP-3889 is not currently possible. As of the time of this document's creation, general knowledge and influence of SCP-3889 has not extended beyond the eastern coast of the central United States of America, namely the states of Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, and as such current secondary containment measures are considered adequate until investigation yields a feasible mechanism for its physical containment. All major piers, wharves, shipyards, harbors, marinas, and commercial fisheries in this region, including their surrounding waters extending to 5 kilometers from the coastline, will be monitored by Naval Task Force Sigma-58 “Bottomfeeders” in conjunction with Foundation naval assets for secondhand accounts of SCP-3889's exploits, as well to contain and neutralize any aftereffects of event 3889-TEHOM. Disinformation initiative 3889-WHOPPER is to be continually disseminated across social media and local news networks for the purposes of dismissing accounts of SCP-3889's activities as a series of exaggerated “fisherman's stories” or tall tales. Foundation agents are under standing orders to employ any means necessary to prevent SCP-3889 from undergoing event 3889-TEHOM. Description: SCP-3889 is Henry “Hank” McAllister, a retired independent fisherman born and primarily active in the central-eastern coastal region of the United States of America. All available records place SCP-3889's date of birth as November 27, 1849, though this fact has, for unknown reasons, not been a cause for alarm or interest for any administration within which this information is retained. SCP-3889 claims to not know its actual age, though its physical appearance is consistent with that of an average male Caucasian octogenarian. SCP-3889 is consistently referred to, by individuals within nautical subcommunities where it is known, by its epithetical name within local folklore, “Haulin' Hank”, or less positively as "the Gray Angler". This is presumed to be due to the spectacle caused by lesser 3889-TEHOM events and not the result of any direct memetic influence. All attempts to apprehend SCP-3889 have met with failure. When approached by a Foundation asset that intends to arrest, detain, or otherwise impede SCP-3889, it will generally state an aphorism such as “You can't bottle a squall, son” or “Only fool catch takes fool bait”, whereupon SCP-3889 will vanish. In its place, a Foundation agent currently assigned to SCP-3889 will appear, in whatever pose or posture adopted by SCP-3889 before its disappearance. This effect appears to have no limitations based on distance or mass, and is instantaneous, with the arriving agent generally in a state of confusion, but otherwise unharmed. The arriving agent will also have some item of fishing paraphernalia on their person. This is generally presented in a humiliating or degrading fashion, such as a fishing float inserted into a nostril, or a number of lead sinkers of sufficient weight left in the pockets to cause the agent's pants to disengage from the waist. SCP-3889 during 3889-TEHOM event dated 25 September 2009. Note upper cranial section of TEHOM-36 emerging from theorized subsurface dimensional breach At an average of 6 times per year, SCP-3889 will undergo a 3889-TEHOM event. This is defined as SCP-3889 using a fishing rod to cast a line into a body of water with the intent to secure a catch. The body of water in question must be at least brackish in composition, and the locations appear to be selected by SCP-3889 at random: these have included river deltas, public beaches, isolated and unused coastal areas, and uninhabited islands kilometers from the main coastline. After a period of time varying from the shortest recorded of 32 seconds to the longest of 3h44m55s, the float of SCP-3889's fishing line will bob once, whereupon SCP-3889 will reel in its catch, then disappear. No upper limit has yet been found to the strength and durability of SCP-3889's body and equipment during 3889-TEHOM events. Selected examples of 3889-TEHOM events and resultant entities follows. Date Location TEHOM Entity Retrieved Aftermath 21 March 1944 Baltimore, Maryland Entity designated TEHOM-01. Entity physically resembles an amorphous mass of musculoskeletal tissue, roughly 33 meters high and 53 meters wide at its base. TEHOM-01 emerges from the littoral zone roughly 4 kilometers away from the city outskirts. Entity neutralized via bombardment by offshore Foundation naval assets. Remains sublimated into vapor upon “death” of entity; none recoverable. 57 civilian casualties, estimated $1,450,000 in property damage. Amnestics administered to local populace; destruction attributed to misfire during military weapons test. 08 February 1967 Delmarva Peninsula, eastern coast Entity designated TEHOM-15. Entity physically resembles a mass of human corpses in various states of decomposition, molded into a form superficially resembling a specimen of the genus Octopoda, with an estimated height of 29 meters and a width of 107 meters. Entity emerges from coastal waters and proceeds inland. Foundation naval assets alerted; entity subsequently neutralized via conjoined aerial and naval bombardment. No civilian casualties, no significant damage inflicted. TEHOM-15 remains examined and determined to consist entirely of the corpses of individuals declared deceased within a 350 kilometer radius over the course of the previous year. Investigation into intended burial locations of recovered human remains revealed thousands of undisturbed graves with caskets whole, but remains missing. 15 July 1999 Tar River delta, North Carolina Seemingly non-anomalous specimen of Cetorhinus maximus, approximately 7.5 meters in length. None, save for article in local newspaper detailing “Mystery Angler” inexplicably landing specimen, then disappearing. Event publicly attributed to combination of happenstance, dubious reporting, and errant behavior on behalf of specimen. 24 December 2011 Uninhabited islet east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina Entity designated TEHOM-41. Entity physically resembles a male human corpse in an advanced state of decomposition, with notable alterations to its physiology, most significant being a maximum height of approximately 64 meters from the surface of the water (entity's body from "waist" down was submerged), and the presence of dozens of long, tentacular structures emerging from the entity's back and neck. TEHOM-41 immediately engaged by patrolling Foundation naval assets. Entity inflicts significant damage upon engaging forces, by lashing vessels with its limbs and tendrils. Initial battle group is routed; no weapon deployed by Foundation forces able to inflict visible damage upon TEHOM-41. Authorization of ERESHKIGAL-class tactical thermonuclear clusterfire munitions requested, and approved by SCPNF central command. TEHOM-41 neutralized. 107 Foundation casualties. Estimated $400,000,000 in tactical assets lost, including 7 ships and 2 aircraft destroyed. Remains towed offshore and examined. Entity found to possess unknown triple-helical genetic structure. Analysis ongoing. Disinformation protocol 3889-GREENFLASH enacted. In all other scenarios, SCP-3889 can be freely interacted with and has not posed a direct threat to Foundation personnel, save for the aftereffects following a 3889-TEHOM event. Interviews with SCP-3889 are possible, though it typically evades queries related to its anomalous properties. Most notable example follows. +Interview SCP-3889-01 - Close Date: 09 August, 2013 Interviewer: NTF Sigma-58 Agent Danielle Torres Interviewee: SCP-3889 Location: Waterside Marina, Chesapeake VA, USA. Foundation alerted by intercepted local police traffic concerning an “elderly vagrant with a fishing pole” loitering on the marina grounds. Video captured by Agent Torres's chest camera. (Agent Torres approaches SCP-3889 from the rear. SCP-3889 is seated on the edge of a wooden boat slip at the far end of the marina, legs hanging toward the water. SCP-3889's fishing rod and tacklebox are situated on the pier next to it.) Agent Torres: Hank? (SCP-3889 turns slightly, and regards Agent Torres briefly before turning back around.) SCP-3889: Well hey there, young lady. Fine evening we've got so far, huh? (Agent Torres remains still, approximately 5 meters from SCP-3889.) Agent Torres: Um. Yeah, I guess you could say that. (Pause. Agent Torres begins to speak, but is interrupted by SCP-3889.) SCP-3889: Why don't you come and sit with me a bit? Agent Torres: I'm not sure I should do that. SCP-3889: Oh, c'mon. I barely got any teeth left, I can't bite ya. Old-timers like me don't get to talk to pretty girls like you as often as you'd think. C'mon, take a load off. We'll watch the sun go. (Agent Torres hesitates, but is given authorization to engage by NTF Sigma-58 central command. She approaches SCP-3889 and sits on the pier next to it, approximately one meter away. Agent Torres is instructed to allow SCP-3889 to speak first, and as a result there is silence for the next 4m22s.) SCP-3889: You come to try to lock me up today? Agent Torres: No, Hank. Not today. SCP-3889: Heh. Well alrighty. And good thing too, I'd hate to have to leave right this second. My knees are killin' something fierce. (Pause) Agent Torres: Can I ask you a question? SCP-3889: Shoot. Agent Torres: Are you aware of the fact that what you do sometimes hurts people? Sometimes kills them? (SCP-3889 sighs. It reaches into its jacket pocket and removes a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. It then lights a cigarette and draws once before continuing.) SCP-3889: Yeah. I know it. Goddammit. (SCP-3889 smokes silently for a short period of time, showing signs of mild emotional distress.) SCP-3889: I try, darlin'. I really do. I go to lonely spots when I can feel a bad one on the other end, but sometimes I just don't guess well enough, or they trick me. I've never been a clever man, but cross my heart, I ain't out to hurt no one. Honest to God, sweetheart, I don't like it anymore than you do. I like it best when it's right in the middle. Something amazing, but… y'know. Harmless. Like when I landed that bigmouth shark awhile back. Hah. You see that big sucker? Think they put it in the papers. Agent Torres: I did, actually. The footage, at least. I don't really know how you were able to pull a basking shark out of a three-meter wide estuary channel. SCP-3889: Yeah. It's, uh… complicated. But hot damn if it isn't fun. Times like those is when I get to feel like a real man again. A little bit of pride. Give all the folks out there a show, a story to tell, make 'em think about how beautiful the sea can be on the inside. Of course I'm actually a big ol' cheater, but they don't have to know that, do they. (SCP-3889 laughs.) Agent Torres: If you know that there's a risk, then why do you keep doing it? Wouldn't it ultimately be better to just stop? (Pause. SCP-3889 shakes its head.) SCP-3889: Much as I wish it was different, it doesn't work that way. First off, I'm a fisherman, ma'am. True, I've got an unfair advantage these days, but my catch is the meanest, nastiest, most twisted-up bunch of sons-a-bitches ever spawned. And it's this geezer givin' em what for. I'm not one for tootin' my own horn, but honey, I'm the greatest goddamn fisherman that ever lived. It's all I've ever done and it's all I ever will be. If I give it up, I'll just be a dried up old man that Death forgot about. And secondly… (Pause) SCP-3889: I'll put it this way. If your boss came through that little gadget in your ear and told you to try to shoot me right now, would you do it? (Pause. SCP-3889 smiles during the silence.) Agent Torres: … I guess I would. SCP-3889: Yep. You got a duty, even if you don't like the way it tastes sometimes. And so do I. I was given a gift. Or a curse, depending on how you wanna look at it. I gotta trick these bastards and catch 'em up, hook line and sinker, 'cause for better or for worse, I'm the only one that can. It pains me to see people get hurt because of it, but I still gotta. I know you boys and girls in uniform are tough enough to wrangle 'em and put 'em in their place, and you do, every time. (SCP-3889 looks toward the sun, and grins.) No matter what they think, we got tough-as-nails fighters on our little world, no mistake. And it makes me damn proud to see. I got to keep finding 'em, I can't just quit, and neither can the rest of you. I've gotta hook 'em, and you've gotta cook 'em! Heh. Who am I kiddin', you're just gonna keep peckin' me until I spill the beans. You wanna know why I can't ever, ever stop? And why you folks need to keep one good eye out as long as you can, 'til the very last man? Agent Torres: Yes. We want to know. (SCP-3889 sighs.) SCP-3889: 'Cause as heavy as our burden is now, the ones I fish are just the babies. Addendum: Continued observations of SCP-3889 have revealed that SCP-3897 has manifested within 15 kilometers of every 3889-TEHOM event recorded since 2012. When questioned about this, SCP-3889 commented, "Yep. They're gettin' worse. And now she's watchin' me." SCP-3889 declined to elaborate before vanishing. Investigation into SCP-3889's correlation to SCP-3897, SCP-3983, and all related phenomena is currently underway.

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

SCP-3891 | keter | SCP-3891 (this image confirmed safe for viewing) Item #: SCP-3891 Special Containment Procedures: By agreement with the United States and Marshall Islands governments, the Foundation has established Site-68 on Kwajalein Atoll for SCP-3891 containment. Two Foundation Cyclone-class patrol vessels (SCPS Arethusa and SCPS Leander) with aviation support are to enforce a perimeter 50km from SCP-3891, with the cover of a US military restricted zone. Any civilian vessels or aircraft approaching this area are to be rerouted. Under no circumstances are vessels or aircraft, Foundation or otherwise, to enter within 10km of SCP-3891, or attempt to view SCP-3891 with magnification aids. Direct viewing of photographs, video records, or SCP-3891 itself is prohibited prior to cognitohazard risk assessment. Publicly available map and satellite data has been altered to remove images of SCP-3891, with Foundation webcrawler 3891-PAUL tasked to search and remove any online images. All images of SCP-3891 are to be digitally analysed and converted into textual descriptions by an automated system, with the original information stored in the Site-68 archives protected by standard cognitohazard precautions. No communication is to be attempted with any individuals on SCP-3891, and persons who have completed travel there are to be considered deceased. All other individuals subject to SCP-3891's effects should be administered Class-C amnestics, and terminated if effects persist. Description: SCP-3891 is a coral atoll at coordinates [REDACTED] in the Marshall Islands. It consists of 13 islands surrounding a central lagoon, with a total land area of 3.8km2. Viewing SCP-3891 both in reality or recordings is cognitohazardous with an intensity proportional to the distance of the viewer or recording from SCP-3891. This effect involves heightened fear responses, pessimistic and hopeless thought patterns, and a belief that the world is either experiencing or approaching some form of apocalyptic scenario consistent with the subject's premorbid belief system. For example, highly religious individuals tend towards thoughts related to eschatological events, whereas individuals who closely follow geopolitical and military matters may develop heightened concerns about thermonuclear war. This is combined with a perception that SCP-3891 is a place of safety and a desire to approach it; it is unclear whether this desire is a component of SCP-3891's cognitohazardous nature or an expected result of its primary effect. A distance of 10km is the maximum observed range for this effect to occur, and at this point it is reversible with amnestics. However, if subjects successfully reach SCP-3891, its cognitohazardous effects become permanent. Subjects affected in this manner invariably believe that human civilisation and often the Earth itself (with the exception of SCP-3891) have been destroyed by some form of end-of-the-world scenario. If forcibly taken to areas outside of SCP-3891, they will perceive these as having been destroyed, and other individuals as hallucinations, paranormal entities or occasionally survivors (who they will attempt to convince to return to SCP-3891). Since coming to Foundation attention, 191 individuals, including [REDACTED] Foundation personnel, are known to have travelled to SCP-3891. Although the cognitohazardous properties of SCP-3891 preclude detailed investigation, these individuals are presumed deceased given the inability of SCP-3891 to support any significant population for extended periods of time. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT IS LEVEL 4/3891 CLASSIFIED ATTEMPTS TO ACCESS THIS DOCUMENT WITHOUT LEVEL 4/3891 AUTHORISATION WILL BE LOGGED AND WILL LEAD TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION. BY ACCESSING THIS DOCUMENT YOU CONSENT TO LATER AMNESTIC TREATMENT. INPUT ACCESS CODE. ACCESS RESTRICTION FAILURE. UNAUTHORISED ACCESS IN PROGRESS. ALERT SYSTEM TRIGGERED. Addendum: Via remote surveillance and automated data transcription of recordings, a number of additional anomalous effects relating to SCP-3891 have been observed. SCP-3891 has a permanent population of between 250 and 300 individuals, who subsist on naturally occurring resources on the atoll. SCP-3891 has an anomalous abundance of these, including fish, plants and fauna (primarily various species of birds, as well as introduced animals such as pigs and chickens). Despite a gradual growth in the population of SCP-3891 and available data reaching back to the mid-20th century, no depletion of these stocks has been observed. Other anomalous effects observed on SCP-3891 itself include the following: lack of biological ageing amongst its inhabitants, with several matching the descriptions of missing persons from as early as the 1920s rapid regeneration of injuries and resistance to disease lack of visible particulate contamination of the water, inconsistent with the waste expected to be produced by the population resistance to extreme weather, observed in 1991 when Typhoon Paka passed over the area without causing any visible effects on SCP-3891 or its inhabitants an absence of violence or disharmony amongst its inhabitants, despite the presence of those from backgrounds which would have historically been considered hostile to one another1 inhabitants demonstrating anomalously high levels of subjective wellbeing and spiritual contentment being a place of safety, free from the troubles of the world The society observed on SCP-3891 practices a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, but with a significant amount of leisure time given the widespread availability of resources on SCP-3891. The language of communication is a previously unknown creole mixture of English, Marshallese and Japanese, presumably originating from the backgrounds of SCP-3891 inhabitants. There is no evidence of any social hierarchy or formal leadership structure, likely due to the lack of disputes. Most inhabitants are polyamorous, but with childbirth being only rarely observed.2 Activities of the SCP-3891 society involve water-based leisure activities, beach sports, various festivals involving food and dance, visual arts, and reading books previously brought to the island. Sounds beautiful, doesn't it? I've had enough of all this. If you're reading this, you must have access to the database, just like I do. Haven't you seen what's happening here? It's all falling apart. There are hundreds of Keter entities that could end the world any day now, and the numbers just keep growing by the day. Don't tell me you think we can keep a lid on everything forever. Even if we do our jobs, just look at what's happening all over the world, with politicians and generals and the rest of the self-styled elite running 'civilisation' into the ground. There's nothing we in the Foundation are going to do to stop that. They say SCP-3891 makes you believe the world is going to end, but you don't need an SCP to believe that. Everyone knows this will happen, sooner or later. There's no danger here; this is the only place in the world without it. I'm going to go as soon as I can, but this is my gift to you, and everyone else who reads this file. I'll see you in paradise. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3892 | safe | close Info X SCP-3892: A Very Heavy Metal Bedtime Author: CadaverCommander More by this author Item#: 3892 Level1 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3892 is to be kept in a standard Safe-class containment locker. Description: SCP-3892 is a child's blanket, colored black and red and patterned with cartoon skulls. Fiber analysis has revealed SCP-3892 to be made of a non-anomalous cotton-polyester blend. SCP-3892's anomalous properties manifest when it is worn by a sleeping child of age 10 or under. Once the subject has reached N1 (earliest) stage sleep, SCP-3892-01 will manifest within 10 meters of SCP-3892 (typically within a closet or hallway in domestic trials). SCP-3892-01 is a large (approx. 2.3 meters tall) skeletal humanoid figure, dressed in a spiked leather jacket, torn denim trousers, and black motorcycle boots. SCP-3892-01's eye sockets contain yellow lights, and luminous smoke can be seen issuing from its mouth and ribcage. Upon manifesting, SCP-3892-01 will silently approach the target. The air temperature within a 10-meter radius will warm to approximately 27° C. SCP-3892-01 will then tuck the subject into bed, whisper “Good night, (name)"1, gently kiss the subject on the head, then demanifest. SCP-3892-01 has neither harmed nor awakened any children during testing trials, and instantly demanifests if approached or interrupted. Addendum 3892-01: On 10 May 2018, SCP-3892-01 looked directly into a testing chamber camera after kissing the subject, growled, and said, "I know where you sleep." SCP-3892-01 then loudly cracked each of its knuckles and demanifested as normal. SCP-3892-01 has not responded to any attempt at communication by Foundation personnel before or since this event. The significance of this is unknown. Footnotes 1. The subject's first name.

SCP-3893 | euclid | close Info X SCP-3893: I'm Going to Have a Motherfucking Meltdown Author: CadaverCommander Image Credit: https://pixabay.com/sv/kraftverk-k%C3%A4rnreaktorer-499910/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Waimangu_geyser.jpg More by this author Containment Facility 3893-SVAROG Item #: SCP-3893 Threat Level: ● Yellow Special Containment Procedures: Containment Facility 3893-SVAROG will maintain continual manning, operation, and maintenance in accordance with both Foundation and Australian nuclear regulations. SCP-3893-01 is to be continually monitored for any movement or change in physiological state. In the event that SCP-3893-01 undergoes a flux surge event, all on-site turbogenerators will be brought online to divert excess power to established grounding shafts, and SCP-3893-01's shielding barriers will be scrammed. Description: SCP-3893 is the remains of a large machine, located 30 meters underground beneath an area of land approximately 120 kilometers east-northeast of Uluru. Excavated and partially reconstructed sections of the wreckage that comprises the majority of SCP-3893 have yielded structures resembling weapon barrels, armor plating, computer circuitry, and several continuous track assemblies, indicating that SCP-3893 may have been a form of land-based combat vehicle prior to its destruction. None of SCP-3893's components have shown to be made of inherently anomalous materials, save for its central power source, designated SCP-3893-01. SCP-3893-01 is a male human corpse in an advanced state of desiccation and decomposition, which is connected via a series of implanted wires and electromechanical contacts to several operational SCP-3893 subsystems. SCP-3893-01 is highly radioactive, and was originally found placed within the primary vessel of SCP-3893's pressurized water reactor, serving as the reactor's fuel source. The amount of heat, radiation, and steam produced by several of SCP-3893's damaged coolant lines led to its initial discovery. Results of SCP-3893-01 power surge prior to initial containment, circa 1963 SCP-3893 was initially discovered routing its generated electricity into a ground load at a rate of over 500 megawatts per hour. As allowing this to continue would result in an eventual reactor meltdown, Containment Facility 3893-SVAROG was constructed above and around SCP-3893. This facility functions as a supplementary power generation plant, which converts the otherwise inordinate amount of energy produced by SCP-3893 into usable power for the surrounding region and provides adequate cooling to SCP-3893-01. Near SCP-3893-01's core observation porthole is a CRT monitor, affixed to a wall. The information displayed on this screen has not been observed to change since SCP-3893's containment.

These movements coincide with massive releases of thermal energy and ionizing radiation, which 3893-SVAROG has thus far been able to successfully divert. However, these surges have increased in intensity over time since initial containment, and current projections estimate that without material upgrades or reinforcement, SCP-3893-01 will cause critical structural failure and containment breach within approximately ██ months.

SCP-3894 | thaumiel | close Info X SCP-3894: Our Sorrow Author: CadaverCommander More by this author ATTENTION This document has been secured under Operation Marduk executive authority. By accessing it and the information contained therein, you consent to potentially undergo physical, metaphysical, and spiritual augmentation pursuant to Operation Marduk personnel transmutation protocols, if you have not done so already. If implemented, this process is irreversible. Do you wish to proceed? I accept the burden. Bear the weight proudly. Your sacrifice is not in vain. Greetings, soldier. Allow me to formally congratulate you on making the worst, greatest, and last decision of your life. I'll start by saying that you probably think you know what you've signed up for. You've been briefed. You've read the supplemental documentation. You sat through the presentations. It's also likely that you think you're experienced enough. You might have been a frontline NCO your entire career. Maybe you were a unit commander. Maybe you were just a punchy grunt that turned mercenary and got lucky. Either way, you've seen action. You know how to shoot, choke and throw an elbow or two. That's great. It's also completely worthless. Your life is about to become a collection of extremes with absolutely no room for gray. You will struggle under a weight so heavy that you will wonder how you ever dared to think you were strong. Your soul will be pressed, crushed under a burden that seems to cry out for your destruction at every moment. You will never know rest. You will never know a moment's relaxation. You will never eat, drink, sleep, fuck, or have a meaningful human relationship ever again. You will fight. You will struggle until you can feel your back breaking, even though you won't have one. You will suffer agonies that are more horrible than any mortal man was ever meant to feel, and they will be slow to heal. And as much as you beg, you will never, ever die. You will be eternal. You will save humanity each and every moment of your miserable existence. You will choose your weapon and you will use it to slay the grandest, most horrifying beasts that mankind has ever faced. The tides will bend at your call and batter your enemies to paste. Gravity itself will call you master, and you will break your foe's bones with the same weight that you carry, because they're just not goddamn strong enough to bear it. You will tear flesh, shatter spines, and relish the shrieks of your nemesis, knowing that whatever torture they are suffering, you are going through worse. In your agony, you will become invincible. You will become one of the toughest, strongest, most unstoppable warriors that has ever existed in this reality or the next. You are now humanity's first and last line of defense. Forget everything you ever were. Now, you are a legend. Welcome to Special Task Force Sigma-01. STF Sigma-01 Commander Chuck Holloway, "Diamond Lance" Item #: SCP-3894 Threat Level: O White Special Containment Procedures: Operation Marduk Site Alpha-001 is to be secured via blockade by Naval Task Force Omega-09 “Dire Straits”. Entrance to and knowledge of Site Alpha-001 is to be restricted to personnel of Overseer and Marduk/4 security clearance only. In the event that SCP-3894 is determined to no longer be effective in tactically suppressing Entity of Interest 090 “Mother”, Operation Sorrow's End will commence in preparation for an imminent TK-Class Total Human Transmutation scenario. Description: SCP-3894 is the collective designation given to EoI-089 “The Sorrow”, GoI-089 “The Bearers”, and the diplomatic, thaumaturgic, and martial alliance between the aforementioned and the Foundation for the purposes of impeding, combating, or otherwise containing EoI-090. This has been deemed a necessity as a result of several changes observed in multiple SCP objects over the course of the previous two years as of the time of this document's creation. These are annotated below. Anomaly Changes Observed SCP-3889, entity suspected to be subordinate to SCP-3894-Alpha and confirmed to be disruptive/inimical to EoI-090 SCP-3889's TEHOM events have yielded progressively more aggressive and durable entities, either matching or exceeding TEHOM-41's destructive capability. Lesser TEHOM entities have begun to manifest independent of SCP-3889 near coastlines worldwide. SCP-3889 has begun to assist Foundation naval assets in the neutralization of these entities, however the rate of entity manifestation has accelerated to the extent that Foundation tactical asset losses are becoming dire. SCP-3897, now confirmed as EoI-090 scouting and reconnaissance bioform Multiple manifestations of SCP-3897 have occurred worldwide, with the current maximum observed number being 97 simultaneous instances. SCP-3897 have also begun to display greater aggression, significantly increasing predation rates and manifesting above densely-populated urban centers at all hours, greatly decreasing the effectiveness and feasibility of mass-amnesticization upon the civilian populace. SCP-3896, currently understood to function as loci for EoI-090 bioform manifestation and dispersal 37 instances of SCP-3896 are now recorded, each requiring an extensive naval blockade to prevent escape of SCP-3896-01. SCP-3896-01 entities have begun to display greatly increased intelligence, strength, durabiltiy, size, and manifestation rate. Foundation Naval Task Force casualties as a result of these manifestations now number in excess of 150,000. As a result of these events, Operation Marduk was initiated, and Procedure 3894-PERSEPHONE was devised to supplement the Foundation's available tactical resources. Procedure 3894-PERSEPHONE describes a process through which willing and able Foundation task force personnel undergo complete metaphysical transformation through a series of interactions between SCP-3898, the influence of SCP-3894-Alpha, and a hyperthaumaturgic distortion field generated by a battery of sixteen Morgenstern-Khan Thaumaturgic Rams. Upon completion of this process, the subject's body is destroyed, and the subject adopts the standard set of anomalous properties exhibited by GoI-089 while retaining spiritual autonomy and loyalty to the Foundation. These properties are as follows: Conversion of the body into a Type V (permanent, autonomous, selectively corporeal, thaumaturgic) ectoplasmic construct Greatly increased physical strength and endurance Type IV (post-thanatotropic, substance-variable, nexus-conditional) immortality Hydrokinetic and gravikinetic capability The subject is then registered and inducted into Special Task Force Sigma-01 “Foundation's Anchors”, to be selectively deployed alongside GoI-089 to counteract all sorties initiated by EoI-090, including containing now-global instances of SCP-3896, neutralization of all instances of worldwide TEHOM-class entity emergence, and prevention of Event Marduk-01 DEUCALION1, among others. EoI-089, tentatively designated SCP-3894-Alpha, is a Category 4 thaumaturgic and hyperphysical entity, referred to by members of GoI-089 and STF Sigma-01 as “The Sorrow”, “The Bearer of the Burden”, and “The Withered King”. Early-stage thaumaturgical scanning of SCP-3894-Alpha has revealed a considerable amount of conceptual energy contained within its corporeal frame, when manifested. The majority of this energy is encoded with markers that coincide with EoI-090, a number of known Keter-level SCPs, anti-thaumic exponents of significant value, and several codons corresponding with Earth and all extant forms of life with humanity as a focal point, at an Association Magnitude of 9.8. This, compared to thaumic scans of other similar entities accessible to the Foundation, has led to the conclusion that SCP-3894-Alpha is conceptually and metaphysically interlinked with life on Earth to such an extent that its existence is necessary for human civilization to exist in its current state. SCP-3894-Alpha manifests physically as an emaciated, decomposing male humanoid figure, dressed in a hood and torn coat, carrying an Admiralty-pattern anchor with angular flukes roughly as long as it is tall (≈ 2 meters). It will occasionally and without warning appear near the rear wall of Site 001-Alpha's primary equipment chamber, where it rarely moves and to date has only spoken when spoken to. During its appearances it willingly gives interviews, which have been performed and coordinated by Operation Marduk Thaumaturgy Department Head Dr. Kumail Khan. Current projections by Operation Marduk tactical assessment personnel estimate that given the rate of EoI-090's expansion compared to SCP-3894, SCP-3894 will become redundant within ██ months, which despite Foundation efforts results in a TK-class Total Human Transmutation scenario in 93% of all simulations to date. Efforts to maintain standing disinformation protocols (including 3895-SIRENSONG) have thus far been effective, but are estimated to fail alongside projected failure of SCP-3894. Investigation to determine possible alternatives or amplifying solutions that avoid the implementation of Lifted Veil protocols is ongoing. See Operation Marduk document SCP-3895 for current information regarding EoI-090. A very long time ago, a life, at some point, learned to care for others like it. Not all others, as organisms have to eat, but it gained an awareness of its kin. And it cared for them. It was primitive, but a bond was formed. And as expected, that bond ended in death. That life felt a new pain. Not a pain of the body, but a pain of the soul. Grief. Loss. Mourning. There is beauty in hardship. Every loss is a tale, a tapestry, and the threads are love, companionship, courage, and perseverance. The things that make life what it is. It was sorrow that solidified life's ability to see itself, to look inward for the first time, to observe and understand something that was beyond eating, or mating, or fighting. It was sorrow that taught life to remember things that had stopped existing. To reflect upon its actions, to feel shame for its wrongs and to delight in its achievements, knowing full well that Death waited right behind it. Sorrow gave life its soul. Its heart. It is the weight that pulls us down and prevents life from destroying itself in wrath or hedonism or terror. It is in Sorrow that we will find our salvation, and be reminded of what truly makes us human. Dr. Kumail Khan, Operation Marduk Thaumaturgy Dept. Head So long as I stand, you shall never fall. I am with you. Footnotes 1. Described in greater detail in "Time of Mourning: An Analysis of SCP-3894 Failure Contingencies" by Dr. Kumail Khan and Dr. Hans Morgenstern |

We are the Foundation. I'll dispense with the introductions. If you're reading this, you understand the extent to which we've lost our grip on the situation at hand. To put it plainly, throughout our history, we've had a fairly easy time of it. I understand that assertion may seem hypocritical if not insulting to most of you, given the many thousand years of collective service across the personnel within this initiative. I ask that you set aside your pride and consider this objectively. The threats contained, addressed, and borne by our organization have, until this point, been manageable. Not without difficulty, not without sacrifice. But they have been managed. We have done our job. The evidence of this is all around you: humanity still exists. Civilization stands, and stands strong. We have been our world's Foundation. Consider the collective nature of what we have faced thus far, and you may notice a pattern. There are monsters in the closet, but we've bolted the door. We stare down uncountable barrels, but not one trigger has been pulled. Damocles's blade may as well be suspended by a bridge cable. Even those that we currently have no solution for have proven themselves sluggish to a point that frankly seems suspicious, affording us time enough to devise appropriate contingencies. We have been, in a way, fortunate. And because of our fortune, Joe Average gets to sleep in his bed at night without a care in the world. We have, in our way, grown lazy to match. We have found ourselves unprepared for something that fails to display the characteristic politeness of our other known antagonists. Something with initiative, that does not pay due respect to our limitations. This is a serpent that has struck without the courtesy of a rattle or a hiss. These events have moved apace, and even with all our might it becomes uncertain whether we will be able to address this serpent at all, much less while wrestling the thousands of others. But I will not see us back down. I would have Joe be frightened but safe, rather than asleep with fangs brushing his neck. The advent of SCP-3895 has stripped us of our luxury of choice. It has shattered our defenses, cast aside our bulwarks and made a mockery of our strength while devouring and enslaving our sacred dead. We have shown good judgment. Restraint. Consideration and discipline. But upon the horizon is war, and we can ill afford to measure and examine and make our boxes as we have in the past. We now stand at the precipice of oblivion, and we are being pushed. The time has come for us to push back. We secure. We contain. We protect. And now, we fight. Overseer 8, Operation Marduk Prime Director Item #: SCP-3895 Threat Level: ● Black Strategic Conduct Protocols: To be determined pending reevaluation of Foundation prime directive. Description: SCP-3895 is a Category 4 hostile hyperphysical entity which has successfully achieved corporeal manifestation within conventional reality. It is actively attempting to assimilate all life on Earth. Within physical reality, SCP-3895 exists as a morphologically variable gestalt of biological organisms, all of which are subservient to and controlled by SCP-3895's metaphysical components. Individual organisms incorporate material from a wide range of other species from all known taxonomic categories of life into their biology, seemingly at random. They are invariably comprised, however, of genetically human tissue in varying states of decomposition. It is currently debated as to whether individual SCP-3895 specimens can be considered “alive” in the traditional sense, as all exhibit some degree of necrotization and decay while displaying no apparent need for nutritional intake or rest. A multitude of other cellular and metabolic anomalies are also present, and are currently under analysis. SCP-3895 is capable of assimilating living or deceased biological matter into any of its masses, and will generally exhibit extremely rapid physical mutations upon doing so, altering its subservient autonomous bodies to best suit a given function or to adapt to a perceived threat. Upon the assimilation of a human, SCP-3895 will occasionally display behavioral and tactical alterations, indicating that SCP-3895 is capable of retrieving and utilizing information stored within human neural tissue. As a result of this, tactical engagement with SCP-3895 forces have proven to be difficult, as SCP-3895's knowledge of Foundation military strategy and training increases with each instance of Foundation personnel assimilated. Individual SCP-3895 entities appear to possess a tiered hierarchy, the specific nature of which is not currently understood. Larger SCP-3895 entities (≈ 6 meters in height) will lead groups of smaller SCP-3895 entities, and may assimilate them to repair inflicted traumas. Larger SCP-3895 bioforms will also occasionally fragment into smaller, autonomously distinct instances when disabled. SCP-3895 instances occasionally produce wordless vocalizations, but a small percentage (0.4%) of those observed have displayed the ability to produce coherent speech. These exceptional bioforms have shown behavioral characteristics and access to knowledge particular to individuals known to be assimilated. This, combined with information extrapolated from SCP-3983 and several instances of both SCP-3896 and SCP-3897 has led to the conclusion that SCP-3895's metaphysical influence extends beyond the thanatotropic threshold2. SCP-3895 has, as of the time of this document's creation, resisted all attempts at containment, and current Foundation response initiatives insofar as they exist are expected to be rendered ineffective within ██ months, resulting in a TK-Class Total Human Transmutation scenario. State of Engagement: Foundation contingency protocols currently stand at Critical in the wake of the events of 10 March 2017. The failure of Foundation expeditionary forces to properly locate and contain all SCP-3895-related anomalies combined with SCP-3895's extreme rate of proliferation and mutation has culminated in a worldwide state of emergency that strains the continued feasibility of maintaining Pure Veil operational standards. Foundation military assets have been mobilized in their entirety to address global SCP-3895 emergence, the only exceptions being those currently engaged in preventing other imminent K-class scenarios. As of the time of this document's last update, subsidization of Foundation forces via the commandeering of international military assets has commenced, however rate of asset loss places this policy as a temporary measure at best. Timeline of recent events follows. Date Event 27 November 2016 Operation Marduk proposed by Overseer 8 in response to overt worldwide escalation, multiplication, and intensification of all known SCP objects known to be associated with SCP-3895. Proposal approved unanimously by Overseer Council. 22 January, 2017 Special Task Force Sigma-01 formed and deployed alongside GoI-089 “The Bearers” against global emergence of SCP-3895 forces. 29 January, 2017 Rate of STF Sigma-01 personnel loss deemed unacceptable by Operation Marduk Central Command. Daily number of Foundation personnel subjected to Procedure 3895-PERSEPHONE ordered by Overseer 8 to be increased threefold to maintain Foundation standing forces. 08 March 2017 STF Sigma-01 forces stationed at Guam routed following overwhelming off-coast emergence of SCP-3895 entities. Reinforcements deployed and subsequently defeated. Island lost to SCP-3895 forces. First instance of significant territorial loss to SCP-3895. Emergency global disinformation protocol 3895-SIRENSONG3 enacted. 09 March 2017 Behavioral change observed in SCP-3895 entities inhabiting Exclusion Zone 3895-01, previously known as Guam. Individual entities4 gather en masse at center of island and fuse, forming an amorphous mass of biological material approximately 1.87 kilometers wide. Long-range thaumaturgical scanners register conceptual energy readings exceeding those of SCP-3894-Alpha. Mass is theorized by Operation Marduk Thaumaturgical Division and confirmed by SCP-3894-Alpha to be a metabiological protoform preceding SCP-3895 primary manifestation and subsequent breach into conventional reality. Mass tentatively designated SCP-3895-Prime. 10 March 2017 All STF Sigma-01 forces5 deployed to Exclusion Zone 3895-01 with orders to destroy or disrupt SCP-3895-Prime. SCP-3895-Prime generates and releases subordinate entities from its central mass, which engage STF Sigma-01. 13 March 2017 STF Sigma-01 lost. SCP-3895-Prime mass has increased to an approximate width of 2.39 kilometers. Thaumaturgic scans indicate conceptual and metaphysical energy readings have increased exponentially as SCP-3895-Prime continues to gestate, indicating an impending localized reality failure or restructuring within Exclusion Zone 3895-01. Disinformation protocols including 3895-SIRENSONG have begun to fail. With the loss of STF Sigma-01, global SCP-3895 emergence has been left unchecked, necessitating the mobilization of the entirety of the Foundation's military assets. Operation Sorrow's End has been submitted to the Overseer Council and the Ethics Committee for approval as of 14 March 2017. If approved, this initiative will reconfigure the Foundation's standing prime directive, and subsequently result in a Lifted Veil scenario in an attempt to prevent humanity's extinction as a result of SCP-3895-Ω's emergence into physical reality. Currently, investigative and tactical efforts are underway to amplify and support the Foundation's offensive posture against SCP-3895 using any means possible, up to and including the usage of other SCP objects and increased anomalous conversion of Foundation personnel following the loss of STF Sigma-01. All Foundation mobilization strategy and maneuvers now include the destruction of SCP-3895-Prime as an overriding priority, with prototypic thaumonuclear stratocharge munitions being pulled from preliminary testing to be used against SCP-3895-Prime in the event that conventional bombardment proves ineffective. SCP-3895-Ω's gestation and its subsequent emergence into physical reality presents an immediate and irrevocable threat to humanity. The Foundation will not allow this entity to be born. We will not reenter the womb. i can love you through your own corpses it is time to come home mother knows best Footnotes 1.

SCP-3896 | euclid | close Info X SCP-3896: We'll Never Stop Eating Big Gordo Author: CadaverCommander Image Credit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OK_Diner_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1716426.jpg More by this author Item#: 3896 Level3 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: danger link to memo SCP-3896 Special Containment Procedures: The section of Alabama Route 43 four miles in either direction of SCP-3896 is to be patrolled by a contingent of Mobile Task Force Rho-66 “Road Hogs”, with exit ramps leading to SCP-3896 blocked under the pretense of ongoing road work. All advertisements and employment listings referencing “Big Gordo's Grub Shack” are to be immediately censored and pulled from circulation. Under no circumstances are Foundation personnel permitted to approach within 200 meters of SCP-3896. If this occurs inadvertently for any reason, other on-scene personnel are forbidden from attempting to retrieve the individual if they attempt to enter SCP-3896, and are directed to prepare amnestic treatment to be administered to the affected individual immediately upon their return. Description: SCP-3896 is "Big Gordo's Grub Shack", a diner located approximately two miles north of Littleville, Alabama, United States of America. The establishment exhibits a number of overlapping mind-affecting anomalous properties, which vary in extent and potency. The first of these is an autoamnestic and behavioral filter which extends to a radius of roughly 120 meters from the restaurant's walls, including the entirety of the parking lot and a portion of the approaching road. Any individual within this field is rendered incapable of acknowledging that any of the events experienced on the premises are unusual, socially unacceptable, illegal, or otherwise negative, and will behave accordingly for the duration of their stay. However, this does not affect memory or sensory perception, and those exiting this effective radius will immediately regain their previously held beliefs and behavioral inhibitions, becoming aware of the ramifications of any experiences or actions undertaken and suffering any resultant psychological trauma as normal. Amnestic treatment has proven effective in reversing these aftereffects. This effect field also removes any individual's intent to impede or disrupt the internal procedural status quo of the restaurant's operations. This combined with the structure's tinted windows and imperviousness to active/passive penetrative scanning has made direct research and intervention by Foundation personnel impossible, as researchers and tactical teams consistently forget their orders and enter the restaurant with the intent to patronize its business rather than execute their assigned mission. However, recording equipment carried by entering personnel consistently functions, and as such indirect observation of SCP-3896's interior is possible. SCP-3896 operates in a fashion largely indistinguishable from a non-anomalous diner. The restaurant's interior is actively operated, maintained, and cleaned by the restaurant's non-anomalous staff. No individuals, equipment, furniture, decorations, nor any other items have displayed anomalous properties in any capacity. Patrons enter, interact with wait staff, order their meals from a menu, eat, pay for said meals, and depart as normal. SCP-3896's sole deviation from traditional restaurant operational practice is in the content of the meals provided. SCP-3896's menu is comprised entirely of “dishes” partially or wholly comprised of raw and coarsely-butchered human flesh, occasionally accompanied by other ingredients. These menu items are often arranged in ways that make no attempt to conceal this fact, and are plainly evident to all patrons present. However, these items are listed on SCP-3896's menu as ordinary items typical of a restaurant of its type, and patrons will behave as though the meal they receive is what they have ordered. Examples of several menu items include: “Steak and Eggs, $9” - Whole uterus with attached fallopian tubes, served with 5-7 ovaries “Coffee, 89c, free refills” - A mug of heated blood “Eggs Benedict, $8” - Two circular slabs of dermal tissue, topped with a severed ear each and doused with a thin fluid, presumed to be bile “Huevos Rancheros, $7” - Approximately one dozen testicles, served atop a section of peeled scalp and sprinkled with fingernails “Grilled Ham and Cheese, $8” - A hand severed at the wrist, with all bones removed, served upright arranged in a “thumbs up” gesture “Chicken Caesar Salad, $10” - Whole decapitated torso with limbs removed, either male or female, chest cavity stuffed with approximately 100 severed tongues “Banana Split, $3.50” - A laterally bisected penis atop a bowl of coiled intestines, topped with whipped cream and a single maraschino cherry “Big Gordo's Blockbuster Burger, $13” - An apparently non-anomalous cheeseburger, cooked to order and served with lettuce, tomato, guacamole, bacon, caramelized onions, chipotle mayonnaise, and a fried egg. Notably the only SCP-3896 menu item that appears to match its listed description. Each customer within SCP-3896 has consumed the entirety of their meal with the exception of any bones, despite occasionally receiving items far larger than the capacity of the human stomach. No exiting customer has ever been observed to suffer adverse medical effects resulting from these meals, despite their size and constituent materials. Registration information and permits for a “Big Gordo's Grub Shack” do exist within Littleville's municipal administrative department, although the documentation is either incomplete or improperly filed, with administrative inconsistencies such as forms listing the building's owner as only “Big Gordo”, fields listing the owner's Social Security number as “nope”, and the “Reason for Permit Request” block of the business registration form containing only the word “food” written in bacon grease. Analysis of SCP-3896 employees' appearances and uniform nametags have consistently matched a number of missing persons reports filed by police precincts across the state of Alabama. For unknown reasons, none of these law enforcement organizations have successfully linked these reports to SCP-3896, despite the fact that advertisements for SCP-3896 employment positions have been detected on an approximately bimonthly basis within various Alabama newspapers and on the classifieds section of websites such as Craigslist.1 No employee has ever been observed to arrive at or enter SCP-3896, nor have any been seen to depart the premises at any time. Employees of SCP-3896 do not display remarkable or unusual behaviors aside from a lack of acknowledgment of the nature of the “food” provided. Additionally, recovered footage has only definitively recorded the presence of wait staff, with no chefs or culinary staff in evidence. The sole indication of the existence of a “chef” present within the restaurant was obtained from a brief moment of chest camera footage from an early Mobile Task Force exploratory sortie, wherein a task force operative under the effects of SCP-3896's behavior-altering anomaly stood from his booth mid-meal to use the restroom and inadvertently angled his camera toward the serving window leading to the kitchen. The view into the window, consisting of approximately 2 seconds of footage, is greatly obscured by the presence of a large quantity of smoke and steam. However, frame-by-frame analysis clearly shows the silhouette of an extremely large, obese humanoid entity at the rear of the room with its back to the camera, having an estimated height and weight of 2.2 meters and 400 kilograms respectively. It is unclear whether this entity is the eponymous “Big Gordo”, though it is presumed to be responsible for the sounds of falling meat cleavers and deep, low laughter heard throughout the majority of SCP-3896 exploratory footage. Addendum 3896-01: On August 13th, 2015, shortly after SCP-3896's containment and initial visual surveillance, two male waiters exited the rear entrance of the restaurant and remained within the rear parking lot for approximately 6 minutes, apparently for the purposes of a brief break mid-shift. A nearby Foundation surveillance unit was able to record their conversation, a transcript of which follows. Date: 13 August, 2015 Observed: Two employees of SCP-3896, nametags listed as “Daniel” and “Mario”. Names and appearances match missing persons reports corresponding to Daniel Walker (26) and Mario Trujillo (25), reported missing 122 days and 11 days prior, respectively. (Walker and Trujillo exit the restaurant and light cigarettes, remaining near the restaurant wall. Both smoke quietly for a moment.) Trujillo: Pretty crazy shift today, huh? Busy as hell. Walker: Yeah, I've heard it gets like this in summer. Lots of people on the interstate, on vacation and shit. (Pause.) Trujillo: Hey, uh… I don't think I ever mentioned it, 'cause we're so busy all the time, not a lot of chances to talk or whatever, but uh… Thanks for like, helping me out, with uh… like the adjustment process. It would have been way harder to get settled in here without you being willing to show me the ropes and get me on my feet, and uh… I don't know. I just really appreciate it. If that's not like, awkward. Or… y'know. (Walker continues smoking for a moment, and nods.) Walker: Pff. Don't sweat it, dude. I was you, once. It's definitely fast-paced in there, and I know how it feels. 'Specially if you don't have a lot of food service experience. You said you were a… what, like a nerd or something before this? (Trujillo laughs.) Trujillo: Yeah, I uh, got my degree in IT and had a job at a software company in Birmingham. For a bit. Did servers, e-mail and shit. (Walker turns to look at Trujillo and raises an eyebrow.) Walker: That's like, way better than bussing tables and mopping floors, dude. I definitely don't have a fucking degree. If I did I probably never would have come here at all. How come you quit that good nerd shit for this? (Trujillo sighs.) Trujillo: It's… hard to explain. And it's gonna sound stupid as fuck probably. Walker: Dude c'mon. We're fucking pals. I ain't gonna like, judge you or anything. How come? Trujillo: Like… haha, fuck, this sounds so dumb. But like… I mean, the job paid well. It wasn't hard or anything, the hours were fine. But the whole time I was there, I just felt so fucking numb. Like, I was just this shitty computer goblin that showed up and fixed the dumb shit people did to their e-mail, or reset their account when they forgot their password and whatever. Like I don't know what the fuck I thought it was going to be, but it wasn't what I ended up getting. I didn't make any friends and like… I've never been good at talking to people anyway. I just felt so fucking bored, and alone. Like completely directionless. Walker: Yeah, I get that. Trujillo: So one day I was just sitting on my apartment steps smoking and hating myself when I saw a newspaper, sitting right there in front of me. Open, the classifieds. And I saw this and it was just like… like this fucking crystallizing moment. It just sounded right, somehow. So I was just like, fuck this. I'm gonna go work at a place where shit actually happens, where I can turn a new leaf. Work at a place that's tight-knit, where people know and actually talk to each other, and you work hard and it sucks but like, it's honest, and… fuck, it really does sound stupid when I say it out loud, haha. Walker: Nah, dude. I get that shit completely. That's why I quit my old shit and came here too. Wanted to make a change. Be a part of something. A little something, but still something. Fucking camaraderie or whatever they call it. Like, you got your family, but people should have a work family too, and I didn't have that. Got it here, though. Straight up. Trujillo: Yeah! Yeah, that's fucking exactly it. Fuck yes. Haha, man, I thought like… I thought I was just fucking crazy or something. Walker: I mean shit, you might be. But then I am too. And so are the rest of us. (Pause.) Walker: Oh shit, dude, I forgot to tell you, Big Chef's dead. Trujillo: Oh shit, nice! Just in fucking time, too, Sarah told me we were starting to run out. She said there's gonna be like, a thing? No one's like, told me much about that. Walker: I mean, I dunno if I'd call it like a thing thing, but sort of. We do like a little get-together, say some words, just basic shit before we start grinding and doing the rest of the prep. It's not really a big big deal, but you gotta kind of do the whole thing right or it'll fuck up and we'll have to take the burgers off the menu for a bit, which would be shitty. Last time that happened Big Chef chewed our asses out when he came back, he was pissed. Not like, kick your ass pissed or anything, but he's like, really passionate about making sure the customers always get what they ask for. The burger is like, his signature dish too, so he's kind of proud of it. And shit, I would be too, talk about fucking tasty. Trujillo: I haven't had one yet. Walker: Oh dude, you have no idea what you're missing. It's gonna fucking destroy your whole life. Like, you don't even know what food is until you have one of Big Chef's burgers. But after the thing we always have a little barbecue every time Chef dies, so I'll grill you up one myself. He taught me how to do it right, you're gonna fucking love it. Trujillo: Nice! Thanks, dude. (Trujillo sighs.) Trujillo: Man. I cannot fucking wait until I'm on the menu. Walker: I know dude. You were only here for like, two days I think, but do you remember Dave? Trujillo: Oh man, how could I fucking forget? The look on his face. I was so goddamn jealous. How long was he here, again? Walker: I think… something like five or six months. We got here almost the same time. Trujillo: Oh shit dude, so you might be next up! Walker: Yeah man, maybe. I've been working like a bastard, been doing all the right stuff. I don't know for sure for sure or anything, but I talked to Big Chef a couple days ago about it, like trying to be sneaky and try to find out what's up? And like, I mean he's obviously not gonna say anything direct, but long story short I'm pretty fucking sure I'm next. So fucking excited. Trujillo: Fucking absolutely dude. I'm happy for you. Like I said, I'm super fucking hyped. Finally. I finally feel like I'm a part of something that fucking means shit, you know? Letting go of all this stupid bullshit. Finding some goddamn meaning, seeing the bones of everything and feeling that fucking beating heart in the middle of it all. Feeding the goddamn universe, man. Fuck I'm lucky. (Walker flicks his cigarette into the parking lot.) Walker: We all are. Praise Gorzugaal, motherfucker. (Trujillo discards his own cigarette.) Trujillo: Fuck yes, dude. Praise Gorzugaal. Speaking of which, I'm hungry as shit. Walker: Yeah man, me too. He's right inside. Let's eat. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3897 | keter | close Info X SCP-3897: Mother's Eye is Upon You Author: CadaverCommander Image Credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ufo_%C3%BCber_Flughafen_Stuttgart.JPG - modified by CadaverCommander and PeppersGhost More by this author SCP-3897 sighted over Stuttgart, Germany, date 07 November 2012 Item #: SCP-3897 Threat Level: ● Orange Special Containment Procedures: Physical containment of SCP-3897 is not currently possible. Information Task Force Omega-08 “Radio Corsairs” are to continually monitor global Foundation listening network PANOPTICON for all radio waveforms consistent with SCP-3897 transmissions. Mobile Task Force Delta-45 “Rolling Thunder” will engage SCP-3897 upon manifestation, whereupon MTF Sigma-66 “Steel Veil” will be deployed for the purposes of disinformation and public amnesticization. All materials jettisoned by SCP-3897 are to be collected for examination. All public records referencing individuals taken by SCP-3897 are to be deleted, and all associated family members and social contacts amnesticized. Description: SCP-3897 is an aggregate of fused human corpses, with an estimated mass of 250,000 kilograms. Via an unknown mechanism, SCP-3897 is capable of levitation and directed aerial locomotion at observed speeds of up to 55 km/h. SCP-3897 typically maintains an average altitude of 3,000 meters. SCP-3897 possesses a number of barnacle-encrusted, limb-like structures, the largest of which is approximately 70 meters in length. It will infrequently descend from its average altitude and utilize these appendages to capture humans, integrating them into its mass. It will generally avoid large population centers, preferring to select targets in isolated locations. SCP-3897 will most commonly extend its limbs through the windows of private domiciles during evening hours, capturing individuals while they are asleep. Victims of SCP-3897 share a number of broad commonalities. Among these are mental illness, diminishing financial situation, recent loss of employment, poor physical health, divorce, recent suicide attempts, or other recent personal tragedy. SCP-3897's reason for seeking individuals displaying these traits, if one exists, is unknown. SCP-3897 occasionally ejects objects from its central mass. To date these have at separate times included various deceased fish, assorted molted insect exoskeletons numbering in the thousands, whole and partial human corpses, clusters of live human fetuses interlinked via their umbilical cords, and several hundred gallons of algae suspended in whale oil. Each of these deposits is either coated in or otherwise accompanied by a viscous fluid, which upon examination has been determined to be a mixture of seawater, human serous fluid, saliva, endometrial mucus, semen, and gastric acid. Genetic analysis of these deposits has been consistently inconclusive. Attempts to collect samples of SCP-3897's tissues via aerial drone have been successful. Each sample thus far has returned spectrochemical results typical of human flesh at varying stages of decomposition, albeit with novel combinations of various microbial organisms, algae, seawater, and inconclusive genetic information. While SCP-3897 does not react in any noticeable way to samples being taken from it or to other forms of invasive testing, it will demanifest if it is threatened via the application of force. SCP-3897 will rapidly emit an opaque cloud of gas from an array of orifices on its surface. This is principally comprised of various toxic compounds (including variants of sarin, phosgene, and mustard gases), atomized human blood, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. It will then vanish, reappearing in another region of the upper troposphere elsewhere on Earth. SCP-3897 constantly emits radio waves, in a wide range of frequencies. These transmissions typically consist of varying levels of characteristic noise, assorted recordings of disparate subject matter, and messages spoken in a variety of languages and voices. The subject of these spoken messages varies and is occasionally incoherent. Notable examples follow. Date Location Content of Transmission 04 April 2010 Cork County, Ireland Transmission consists of an amalgam of various recordings, including the sound of a running waterfall, ocean waves, birdsong, sounds resembling high-volume borborygmus, whalesong, and children laughing. 22 February 2011 Southern Pacific Ocean Female voice speaking in Dutch, interspersed by periods of static. "Unfamiliar… lack of hunger… none observable… results satisfactory… defenses estimated to be minimal… Unknown… Affirmative… sorrows inducted currently number… Yes… Integrity nominal…" 02 July 2011 Easter Island, Chile Male voice, speaking in an unknown and as-yet untranslated language bearing phonetic similarities to Latin. 27 November 2011 Lapland, Finland Child's voice, indeterminate gender. "The liberty has not exceeded its chosen domain. Interference currently within acceptable bounds. Conversion of 29 prospective bearers underway, a further 46 located. None significant. Praise the mother, she who births and devours all, who sows and harvests, who grants sickness and health. Praise she who is without rest. Flesh integration nominal. Our bodies unto the mother. We await the edict. Our waters unto the mother. We shall never rest. Our hearts unto the mother." Addendum: Continued observations of SCP-3889 have revealed that SCP-3897 has appeared within 15 kilometers of every 3889-TEHOM event recorded since 2012. When questioned about this, SCP-3889 commented, "Yep. They're gettin' worse. And now she's watchin' me." SCP-3889 declined to elaborate before vanishing. The advent of this information has led to the discovery that SCP-3897 is either capable of existing in multiple places simultaneously, or that there are multiple iterations of this anomaly.

SCP-3898 | safe | close Info X SCP-3898: The Burden Author: CadaverCommander Image Credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Two_brothers_ship_anchor_cropped.jpg More by this author Item#: 3898 Level1 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: danger link to memo SCP-3898 during initial recovery, moments before Agent Palmer's transmutation Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3898 is to be stored in the center of a locked standard hazardous object containment unit no smaller than 15x15x15 meters. Under no circumstances are Foundation personnel permitted to enter SCP-3898's effective radius. If exposed, personnel are to be detained and kept under psychological observation until such time that they are determined to be healthy and not a danger to themselves or others. SCP-3898's enclosure is to be equipped with a remote-operated restraining and pacification apparatus for subject retrieval, as well as an automated cleaning system for the purposes of removing bodily fluids, seawater, corpses, and other detritus resultant from testing. Description: SCP-3898 is an iron Admiralty pattern ship's anchor, 2.5 meters in length and weighing approximately 350 kilograms. SCP-3898 shows signs of corrosion and deterioration consistent with exposure to seawater for an extended period of time, estimated at 140-150 years. It has displayed no material or chemical abnormalities and yields to sampling and destructive testing as expected. Humans that enter an area approximately 5 meters from SCP-3898's surface will experience a range of anomalous psychological effects, varying between individuals. These effects are divided into two broad subsets, immediate and lasting, according to their duration and required proximity to SCP-3898. Immediate effects of SCP-3898 exposure are only exhibited while the subject is within SCP-3898's effective radius. These include psychotic episodes, auditory and visual hallucinations, syncope accompanied by SLUDGE syndrome, and active suicide attempts, with varying degrees of probability and intensity. Lasting effects of SCP-3898 exposure persist after the subject has been removed from SCP-3898's presence. Subjects invariably display symptoms corresponding to major depressive disorder, and may further exhibit suicidal ideation, nonlethal self harm, manic episodes, chronic malaise, and weakened immune system with varying probability. The duration and intensity of these effects worsens in proportion to the subject's closest proximity to SCP-3898 and total time of exposure. Therapy, antidepressant medication, and amnestics have proven effective in lessening these symptoms, as well as decreasing their duration. Physical contact, defined as touching SCP-3898 with an uncovered body part, results in a wide range of dramatic anomalous effects, described in greater detail in the testing logs below. +Proximity Test 06/20/2014 - Close Subject: D-3898-01 Procedure: Subject instructed to approach the object. Immediate Effects: None observable for 1m32s. Subject expresses confusion, then begins to weep with no apparent cause. Subject touches face, expressing further confusion, then chuckles, before sitting cross-legged on the floor. Subject reports experiencing vivid memories of her brother, who had expired as a result of complications arising from leukemia several years prior to her incarceration. Subject begins to sob, verbally expressing personal regrets and lamenting her inability to recall the sound of her brother's voice. This continues for approximately 4 minutes before the subject spontaneously loses consciousness, secreting tears and twitching occasionally. Subject removed from chamber via remotely operated retrieval system after 6m22s of total exposure. Lasting Effects: Symptoms of major depressive disorder lasting approximately three days, with occasional manic episodes. No treatment necessary. Nearest Proximity: 4.3 meters +Proximity Test 08/02/2014 - Close Subject: D-3898-04 Procedure: Subject instructed to move as near to the object as possible without making physical contact. Immediate Effects: Subject promptly approaches SCP-3898 to a distance of 1.3 meters before stopping abruptly. D-3898-04 freezes in place. Spontaneous lacrimation begins. Subject lies down on containment unit floor and adopts fetal position, displaying signs of extreme emotional distress, including wailing, moaning, and uncontrollable, hysterical sobbing and hyperventilation. At 5m45s, subject uncurls and attempts to crawl away from SCP-3898 while pleading incoherently, but stops abruptly. Subject turns head back toward SCP-3898. Subject's eyes widen in an expression of fear, and begins shrieking. Without moving any further, subject proceeds to scream for 1m27s until sudden loss of consciousness, presumably from hypoxia. Subject removed from chamber via remotely operated retrieval system after 8m02s of exposure. Lasting Effects: Upon regaining consciousness, D-3898-04 remained in a semi-catatonic state, refusing to speak, eat, move, or willingly sleep, requiring intravenous nutrition and hospice care. After 11 days, D-3898-04 was placed on a psychiatric treatment regimen including regular therapy sessions and antidepressant medication. Subject responded to treatment and after three months recovered fully from the effects of exposure, but as of yet refuses to speak of his experiences within the chamber. Nearest Proximity: 1.3 meters +Proximity Test 10/16/2014 - Close Subject: D-3898-09 Procedure: Subject instructed to move as near as possible to the object without making physical contact. Test coordinators instructed by Lead Researcher Khan to maintain continual, conversational verbal contact with test subject to better gauge psychological alterations. Transcript follows. (D-3898-09 is directed into the containment enclosure. The hatch closes behind him.) D-3898-09: That's not ominous. Senior Researcher Reynolds: Do you see the object, 09? (D-3898-09 turns away from the door and faces the center of the chamber.) D-3898-09: Ah, yes. Having been to medical school, I can identify that as an 'anchor'. Senior Researcher Reynolds: Listen carefully, 09. Quickly approach the object and position yourself as close to it as possible. D-3898-09: Is it going to eat me? Senior Researcher Reynolds: No. Please proceed. D-3898-09: Only because you asked so nicely. (D-3898-09 walks toward SCP-3898 at a brisk pace, and stops .3 meters from it. He places his hands on his hips.) D-3898-09: What happens now? (pause) Senior Researcher Reynolds: Stand by, 09. (D-3898-09 crosses his arms, and stands silently for 32 seconds. He then reaches up to wipe a tear from his eye. He looks at his hand, and sniffs.) D-3898-09: Odd. I don't… (D-3898-09 smiles. Tears begin to run down his face.) Senior Researcher Reynolds: Is something wrong, D-3898-09? D-3898-09: … No. I don't think so. Nothing… specific. I'm not sure what's come over me, I feel… strange. Like… sinking. Senior Researcher Reynolds: Can you clarify? (Subject's eyes widen.) D-3898-09: Do you ever feel hopeless, doctor? Senior Researcher Reynolds: I suppose. Doesn't everybody feel that way sometimes? (Subject laughs) D-3898-09: Yes, they do! They feel hopeless when their car breaks down. They feel hopeless when they botch a presentation at work, or get a bad grade on a test. When they get hurt, or when someone they love stops loving them back. (Subject begins to sob, still smiling.) D-3898-09: They feel hopeless when they are told they will be dead soon. When a loved one passes away. When they stray too far, and they know they'll never be able to make their way back to where they were meant to be. (Pause) D-3898-09: But this is different from all of that. It takes my breath away. It feels like lead bars in my lungs. I can feel it press my shoulders down, and my spine is bending. (D-3898-09 turns to face the containment chamber's observation window, which is hidden behind a polarized concealment plate. D-3898-09 was not informed that he would be under visual observation prior to test commencement.) D-3898-09: Doctor, you hilarious waste. I can see what you see. And I know what you know. We're standing right in front of a leaking dam. There are so many things behind it and each one is better at what it does than the last and standing between them and our lives is… you? You and your colleagues? I can see it in your face. I can see the truth behind your eyes. And I understand it so much better than you do. (D-3898-09 turns back, and regards SCP-3898. His eyes widen, and he brings his hands to his mouth. He stares over SCP-3898, as though able to see something on the far side of the chamber. He places his hands at his sides.) D-3898-09: And you. (Subject laughs) D-3898-09: I can see you, too. I know what you're asking for, and it won't be me. I refuse you. You don't get to suck away what fucking little I had left to live for, my last shred of fucking ignorance, and expect me to do anything more than crumble. I can see you, down at the very bottom. I CAN SEE YOU HIDING DOWN THERE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT. (D-3898-09 pauses, as though listening.) D-3898-09: Fuck you. No. I know what'll happen. (Pause) D-3898-09: Because I am not strong enough. And you fucking knew that already. (D-3898-09 begins inserting his thumbs into his eye sockets, without exclaiming or otherwise reacting to any pain this action causes.) D-3898-09: The burden is heavy. And I am weak. (D-3898-09 successfully destroys his own eyes before Senior Researcher Reynolds is able to activate the pacification system. D-3898-09 is removed from the containment enclosure by remotely operated retrieval system and submitted for medical treatment.) Contact Tests: In each of these tests, the subject was instructed to approach SCP-3898 as quickly as possible (to avoid the incipient proximity effects) and make physical contact with it, via touching with a hand. Date Subject Results of Contact 13 April, 2015 D-3898-13 Subject's body is instantaneously transmuted into an equivalent volume of clear fluid, which loses cohesion and splashes to the floor of the containment chamber. A sample of this fluid was examined and determined to be seawater, with living microbes consistent with those found in the epipelagic zone of the mid-Pacific Ocean. 27 July, 2015 D-3898-20 Subject expires. Autopsy report revealed the majority of subject's abdominal viscera had been replaced with a mass of material comprised of algae, diatoms, various deceased fish, crustaceans, and aquatic mollusks in various states of dismemberment and decomposition, a live octopus, three shark teeth belonging to the genus Somniosidae, decomposing seaweed, and seawater, causing near-instantaneous death. Remains incinerated. 06 September, 2015 D-3898-34 Subject's body in its entirety is crushed into a fine paste by a swift, sudden impact from above. Origin of force unknown. Impact energy estimated at roughly 400 kN. No information obtainable from remains. 09 October, 2015 D-3898-38 Subject enters respiratory distress, expelling large amounts of a clear fluid while attempting to cough. Subject removed from containment chamber via remotely operated retrieval system. Medical treatment attempted, but unsuccessful, as subject's lungs continually fill with fluid from an unknown source. Subject asphyxiates and expires. Fluid sampled and determined to be seawater, of an identical composition as that retrieved during test dated 13 April. 27 November, 2015 D-3898-58 See Incident Report 3898-01. Incident Report 3898-01: On 27 November 2015, test subject D-3898-58 made physical contact with SCP-3898 as instructed. However, unlike all prior tests, there were no immediately observable effects. D-3898-58 remained motionless with one hand grasping SCP-3898's central shank in excess of a minute, speaking continually at a low volume, before observing staff attempted to question him using the chamber's intercom. D-3898-58 remained unresponsive, and Senior Researcher Reynolds gave the order to pull the subject from the chamber. Before the robotic loading arms could make contact with the subject, D-3898-58 ceased speaking, then uttered a last indistinguishable sentence. He then raised his arm, lifting the 350 kg object above his head and pointing it directly skyward. The subject then vanished, leaving behind his clothes. SCP-3898 fell to the floor of the testing chamber without suffering any observable damage. Review and subsequent filtering of the security footage from the incident revealed the content of D-3898-58's statements in the moments prior to his disappearance. Transcript follows. +Audio Transcript 27 November 2015 - Close D-3898-58: … Oh. (Pause) D-3898-58: No. I can't say that I'm surprised. (Pause) D-3898-58: Me? You can't be serious. (Pause. Subject laughs.) D-3898-58: Then you know what you're asking for. I can't do that. Not even if I wanted to. (Pause. Subject laughs again.) D-3898-58: Buddy. Listen. You're already in my head, so look around a bit. Really look. Do you see all that? Look where I am. What's happened to me. What I've done. I'll let you down. I'll let the whole thing down, I guarantee it. I've fucked up everything I've ever tried, and I've fucked over everyone I've ever known. And I'll fuck this up too. I'm not strong enough. I'm sorry, but you've got the wrong guy. (Longer pause. D-3898-58 scowls.) D-3898-58: No. (Short pause) D-3898-58: Because she's fucking dead, you damp fuckstain. Where the fuck do you get off- (Longer pause. D-3898-58 smiles, blinking away tears.) D-3898-58: Because I'm the one who killed her. You fucker- (Subject's voice breaks. He cries silently for a short period.) D-3898-58: … I had forgotten what she looked like. What she looked like after. You fucking bastard, I'd forgotten. I spent years pushing her out of my head. Her face… God, her fucking face… (Pause) D-3898-58: No. No, Jesus Christ why would you- (Pause) D-3898-58: … Why are you doing this to me? (Longer pause lasting 2m31s, during which D-3898-58 dries his eyes with the hand not grasping SCP-3898) D-3898-58: I don't know whether to hate you or love you, you son of a bitch. (Subject sniffs.) D-3898-58: Alright. Alright, shut up, you've made your point. I'll do it. But not for you. (The muscles of D-3898-58's right arm flex, and he raises SCP-3898 above his head, showing no outward signs of physical exertion. Faint, but audible metallic groaning can be heard from the object, presumably due to mechanical stress.) D-3898-58: I'm sorry, Maria. (D-3898-58 closes his eyes.) D-3898-58: I accept the burden. (D-3898-58's body disappears.) The significance of this event is unknown. Investigation into SCP-3898's correlation to SCP-3983 and all other related anomalies is underway.

SCP-3899 | keter | close Info X SCP-3899: The Night Hauler Author: CadaverCommander Image Credit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/butlerphotography/4372793459/ More by this author Item#: 3899 Level3 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: warning link to memo SCP-3899, mid-emergence Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3899 is not currently containable utilizing conventional methods. To date, it has not manifested outside of the continental borders of the United States of America, and as such current secondary measures are considered adequate until research yields a more complete and feasible mechanism for its physical containment. Upon manifestation of SCP-3899, all citizen's band (CB) radio emissions from SCP-3899 are to be monitored by nearby Foundation listening posts for attempted contact by SCP-3899 to civilian recipients. All individuals contacted by SCP-3899 are to be detained, administered Class-B amnestics, and released upon completion of treatment, as are all eyewitnesses. Information concerning SCP-3899 is to be suppressed via local transportation administration denial and televised media blackout. Accounts of SCP-3899 relayed via the Internet are to be either denounced as false in coordination with local governments or deleted where practicable. Disinformation initiative 3899-OILSLICK is to be continually updated and disseminated across social media and other high-traffic websites to maintain SCP-3899's current status as an urban legend. Description: SCP-3899 is, in appearance, a black Peterbilt 379 semi-trailer truck, with attached trailer. SCP-3899's performance capabilities exceed what is possible for conventional trucks of similar make, being able to reach speeds in excess of 430 km/h and accelerate or decelerate at rates that would ordinarily result in significant structural damage. SCP-3899 also displays the ability to selectively displace itself in space across short distances, typically to avoid nearby motorists or obstacles while traveling at anomalous speeds. These transference events appear as a sudden disappearance followed by instantaneous reappearance not more than 300 meters in any direction, accompanied by a cloud of dense, black smoke. Samples of this smoke obtained by field agents have invariably consisted of a mixture of diesel fuel combustion byproducts, volcanic ash, and atomized blood possessing inconclusive genetic markers. SCP-3899 emergence events begin with the manifestation of the object upon a random stretch of interstate highway within the borders of the continental United States of America. The object will appear traveling at or within approximately 3 km/h of the posted speed limit, with a significant distance between itself and any nearby motorists. SCP-3899 will then accelerate rapidly to its top speed, using its anomalous transference ability to avoid obstacles in its path. SCP-3899 has only appeared between the hours of sundown and sunrise and will demanifest if it encounters direct sunlight. It will also instantly demanifest if its presence results in an automotive accident (see Addendum 3899-01). SCP-3899's operator, designated SCP-3899-1, will broadcast over SCP-3899's CB radio circuit at random intervals. SCP-3899-1 willingly engages any replying contacts in conversation, although its statements are occasionally incoherent, and it has declined to clarify statements concerning its origin or purpose (see Interview SCP-3899-02). SCP-3899-1 appears only as a silhouette of what appears to be an overweight male humanoid wearing a billed hat. Eyewitness reports have attested to the presence of smoky, tentacular structures within the cab accompanying SCP-3899-1. Specific information regarding SCP-3899-1's physical makeup is not currently available, as SCP-3899 has proven resistant to all attempted forms of penetrative scanning. Addendum 3899-01: On 11/27/1999, Foundation agents embedded within the Virginia State Department of Transportation received reports of a large black truck appearing instantaneously on a length of Interstate 64. Following secondary containment of SCP-3899's effects on the populace, agents apprehended Martha Lewis, a motorist who drove through a concrete sidewall when startled by SCP-3899's emergence in the adjacent lane. Interview 3899-01 Date: 12/03/1999 Interviewed: Martha Lewis Interviewer: Agent Lee Interview conducted one week after encounter with SCP-3899 for information gathering purposes, under the guise of a police investigative followup. Lee: Thanks for taking the time out and coming down, Ms. Lewis. We know you've had an eventful week. Lewis: Isn't that the truth. Lee: Can I get you anything before we start? Lewis: (laughs) No, I think I'll survive. Lee: Alright. Now, I know this is going to seem redundant, but we want to make sure your story is staying consistent over multiple interviews. Sort of a test for mental stability while we solidify that day's events, know what I mean? Lewis: I hope I pass! Lee: (laughs) Just relax, Ms. Lewis, it's more of a formality than anything else. We'll take it from the top. Start from the beginning, whatever you remember. Lewis: It's all still clear in my head. I'm driving down I-64 on the way home from a late day at work. The sun had just gone down. I'm in the left lane, and there's no one near me. I remember checking because I was about to exit. Then out of nowhere this huge truck just… appears, right next to me. There was a bunch of smoke, like it was on fire or something, and the sound was like a bolt of lightning had just struck right next to me. All the smoke clouded my windshield and my heart was in my throat, it all happened so fast. Before I could really process anything that was happening, I was plowing right through a concrete divider and into some trees. I think I passed out. When I came to, there were paramedics and cops. They took me to the hospital. Lee: I see. Well, I guess that matches everything we have in the report, here. Is there anything else? Any complications, complaints? Lewis: There is one thing, actually. Yesterday when I got home, I checked the mail and I saw that I got a letter. There wasn't any return address. Inside was a bunch of cash in random bills, all wrinkly and stained like they were old and used. I counted it up and it was over $12,000. And there was a note. It was all burnt and I couldn't tell what it was written with. Not pencil or pen, though, something else. Lee: Hm. Is there any way we could see it? Lewis: Yes, I have it right here in my purse. Martha Lewis was administered Class-B amnestics and released upon confiscation of aforementioned document. Accompanying money was seized and an equivalent value transferred to Ms. Lewis's personal account after Ethics Committee review. After analysis, Document SCP-3899-01 was determined to be written on non-anomalous notebook paper in charcoal. Text of recovered document: IM SORRY. DIDNT MEAN NO HARM. FOR THE DAMAGES. GET Y'ALL A NEW RIG AND DRIVE ON!!! Interview SCP-3899-02 Interview conducted by Agent Knowles via radio transceiver from a Foundation helicopter during SCP-3899 emergence event, dated 10/22/2003. Knowles: SCP-3899-01, are you receiving? SCP-3899-01: Shit, girl, you know that ain't my callsign! Y'all on the road, y'all use road names! Knowles: Oh. Ah, in that case, what is your callsign? SCP-3899-01: I'M THE NIGHT HAULER AND I'M COMIN' IN HOT! I KNOW Y'ALL CAN FEEL THIS SPEED! Knowles: (adjusts receiver to compensate for SCP-3899-01's volume) Right. Sorry. Night Hauler, can you tell me exactly where it is you come from? SCP-3899-01: I ROLL WITH THE WIND! MY WHEELS SING SWEET LOVE TO THE BLACKTOP! I'M FILLIN' Y'ALL'S VEINS WITH ROAD SALT AND EXHAUST AND THE SMELL-A BURNIN' RUBBER! AIN'T NO BOTHER WHERE I'M FROM, WE ALL GOTTA LIVE FOR THE RIDE AND DIE FOR NOTHIN'! Knowles: I… see. Are you… “hauling” anything in particular? SCP-3899-01: Ain't you listenin', girl? Are you seein' this? What I got is pure rattlin' salvation, eighteen wheels at a time! When y'all's roads is choked, when the ways is blocked and y'all's speed is all dead and gone, I'm droppin' this load and we'll all be drinkin' gas and breathin' smoke! Knowles: I'm not sure I understand. Who are you? Why are you here? SCP-3899-01: THIS IS FOR THE SOULS OF THE ROAD! FOR THE LONG NIGHTS AND DEAD ENGINES AND EVERYONE TRY'NA PUT THAT HORIZON UNDER THEIR WHEELS! I AM THE ROAR OF HOT IRON! I AM SCREAMING FREEDOM! I AM THE DEATH OF ALL BARRIERS! THIS RIG AIN'T GOT NO QUIT, HONEY! I DO NOT STOP! CAN YOU FEEL THE RUMBLE? CAN YOU SEE THE FIRE AND SMELL THE BURN? I KNOW YOU CAN, I CAN TASTE YOUR GODDAMN HEART AND I KNOW YOU WANT TO FLY APART WITH ME! Knowles: I… I think I c-can… No. Paulings, turn the hell around, something's wrong. In light of Agent Knowles's debriefing, investigation into SCP-3899's possible memetic influence has commenced.

SCP-3900 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3900 Special Containment Procedures: Recovered SCP-3900 infected hardware is to be destroyed prior to the next occurrence of a full moon. In the case that SCP-3900 is activated in an uncontrolled setting, care must be taken to ensure that no wolves escape. One wireless router infected with SCP-3900 is to be stored in a secure containment locker. All testing must be conducted within a Faraday cage enclosure to prevent unintended infection. The presence of an animal handler is required for testing. Description: SCP-3900 is an anomalous, contagious property of wireless access points. SCP-3900 is spread between devices in proximity when both are turned on; this effect is correlated with the overlapping of WiFi signals between the two, and can be prevented through sufficient shielding. Infection requires an average of three days of uninterrupted contact between the two devices. As such, spread of SCP-3900 is limited in uncontrolled settings, although particularly connected spaces do pose a risk of epidemic. SCP-3900 becomes active when the infected device is enabled and a full moon is present above the horizon. At this point, a number of timber wolves will appear in the area currently covered by the wireless access point, which then ceases to transmit a signal. Wolf density is typically very high, at approximately one wolf per square meter. Wolves usually display signs of distress or confusion, but are docile. Wolves created through SCP-3900 do not exhibit wireless connectivity and are otherwise non-anomalous. When the full moon is no longer above the horizon, or SCP-3900 is turned off, all wolves in the area (excepting wolves not related to SCP-3900) will disappear. It is currently unclear whether the wolves in subsequent SCP-3900 activations are the same, or if a new population is generated each time. Addendum: During a test on 22/04/2016, Junior Researcher Beckett was superficially bitten by a wolf produced by SCP-3900. On the full moon of 21/05/2016, wireless interference was detected around Beckett, and she was found to be uniformly emitting radio waves in a similar frequency to those of wireless access points. This effect ceased when the moon set. Beckett was contained and subsequently instructed to superficially bite D-7649. On the full moon of 20/06/2016, D-7649 began to produce wolves in his vicinity. Just as with SCP-3900, these wolves vanished upon the end of the full moon. D-7649 was instructed to superficially bite a restrained non-anomalous wolf. On the full moon of 19/07/2016, the wolf's enclosure began to fill with hundreds of wireless routers of varying make and model. All routers disappeared when the moon set. Further testing has been discontinued. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3900" by TyGently, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3900.

SCP-3901 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3901 Special Containment Procedures: Any accounts that fit the description of an encounter with SCP-3901 are to be investigated by field agents immediately. Civilians targeted by SCP-3901 will need to be debriefed, undergo Procedure Zara-22, and be amnestitized before being released. Capture of SCP-3901 using standard anti-intangant acquisition methods is Priority-Delta. SCP-3901 has yet to be recorded on digital video or photographed, but its voice has been captured on audio during observations. Research Outpost-3901 is to be situated near proximity of SCP-3901's grave site under the guise of an isolated family farmhouse. Continuous seismic and audio monitoring of SCP-3901's grave site is required until permanent containment is possible. Any new bodies detected underground at the site will need to be exhumed from SCP-3901's coffin. Description: Based on eyewitness accounts, SCP-3901 is an entity that takes on the appearance of a mummified human female corpse with long hair and wearing only a men's dress shirt. It is theorized that SCP-3901 is sapient but frequently suffers from acute memory loss based on its behavior. SCP-3901 displays a selection process of targeting single male individuals who regularly sleep alone. SCP-3901 will then regularly manifest within the bedroom and enter the target's bed. Once in the bed, SCP-3901 will typically lay in a supine position or a fetal position facing the target, in some cases embracing the target from behind in a seemingly affectionate manner. SCP-3901 always exercises caution in not waking the target, but has been reported to touch the target's face gently in rare instances. SCP-3901 will usually vanish once the target wakes. The purpose of this behavior is largely unknown, but has generally not resulted in hostility towards the target unless SCP-3901 reacts extremely negatively toward Procedure Zara-22. Typically, this behavior will continue for about a month before SCP-3901 begins to actively communicate with the target. Most of these conversations tend to be one-sided, with any responses towards SCP-3901 being seemingly ignored. Below are a few selected responses from SCP-3901 that were recorded during observation sessions conducted by field researchers. "Alan?" "What are… you thinking?" "Do you think of us; of me?" "I have never felt this way." "I was so lonely… so cold… but you are warm next to me." "I can stay here forever." "I'm scared to lose this; are you scared too?" "Come closer." "Sleep." [LEVEL-2 ACCESS REQUIRED] [ACCESS GRANTED] Photograph on file for SCP-3901, circa 1973. Addendum-3901-001: SCP-3901 is believed to be an entity previously known as Ms. Rachel Parks. According to local police reports, Ms. Parks was reported missing after a hiking trip and likely died shortly thereafter in September, 1973 from exposure. The partially naked corpse was discovered the following spring, though it was badly decayed making identification difficult. Afterwards the body was transported back to her family in Kansas, USA to be buried in its current location. Interviews with family and friends of Ms. Parks stated that she had an ongoing conflict with her roommate at the time, over an estranged boyfriend. Foul play was ruled out by the detective supervising the case when it closed after the examination of the body. [LEVEL-3 ACCESS REQUIRED] [ACCESS GRANTED] Addendum-3901-002: Procedure Zara-22 is a protocol that has had limited success in field trials but is the only known method that has been able to deter SCP-3901's interest from a victim. Field agents administering Procedure Zara-22 are to have a 4x6 photograph of Ms. Valerie Jameson, Ms. Parks roommate at the time, displayed somewhere in plain sight of the affected bedroom. In 78% of cases, SCP-3901 immediately departed upon viewing the photo. 22% have invoked a passive-aggressive conversation from SCP-3901 itself with a small percentage resulting into eventual hostile aggression against the victim where they are suddenly transferred under SCP-3901's grave site. Should hostile aggression be suspected, agents are given permission to intervene and attempt to extract the victim to prevent an incident. Below are some recorded responses from SCP-3901 in reaction to Procedure Zara-22 which are a stark contrast to most recorded responses: "What is this, Alan?" "I… hate her." "She will never love you like I do." "Why?" "You broke us." "Do you care?" "Whatever." "I'm so… cold." "Will you even miss me?" The following responses are the more assertive responses from SCP-3901 shortly after transferring the victim: "I will make you love me." "You will thank me for this." "This is for the best." "I'm not giving up on us." "You can't leave. Stay." "I won't have this baby… not without you." |
SCP-3902 | safe | Item#: 3902 Level1 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: caution link to memo Digital recreation of SCP-3902 packaging. Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-3902 instances are to be placed in Standard Food Refrigerative Storage. The respective Site Director is to be notified of the manifestation of SCP-3902 in Foundation Sites. Three SCP-3902 instances unwrapped. Description: SCP-3902 is a nut and chocolate nutrition bar with packaging resembling an edited version of the Anomaly Classification System. This packaging advertises SCP-3902 as "anomaly class bar" created by the para-entrepreneur "dado". 30 minutes after SCP-3902 is fully consumed, the subject will expel a piece of paper from their mouth1 listing several statements about the subject each in a format resembling SCP Foundation Object Class Designation. Statements recorded are universally correct and/or will be correct. Once any individual has read the paper fully, several bones, organs, or objects of monetary value present on the subject will disappear. These disappearances are described in the expelled paper. Discovery: SCP-3902 was discovered after spontaneously replacing Skittles in all Foundation vending machines on 8/22/19. Along with this, a box of 100 SCP-3902 instances was recovered under the desk of Site-81 Director Jean Karlyle Aktus alongside the following note: dear mr blue jeans, hello yes i really like the new object class bar (this was link but dado print paper and now it is broke) you have made it is very good. carrier hamster told me all about it. very many lines and words which is good. now, dado was wondering if we can capitalize on the notoriety of it yes. franchise system and make into anomaly class plushie, anomaly class car, anomaly class ladle, many more ideas. dado make the health bar as proof of concept. dado will take payment from people what eat the bars so no worry about cost for u i need more franch to franchise so please get to me soon for the talking of business sincerely, dado SCP-3902 instances were then confiscated and placed into current containment procedures.

SCP-3903 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3903 Special Containment Procedures: Online communities for individuals identifying as ‘Otherkin’, and Elvenkin in particular, are to be monitored for discussion of SCP-3903. Any individuals claiming to have experienced or witnessed occurrences of SCP-3903 or SCP-3903-B are to be investigated by Mobile Task Force Psi-22 “A Midsummer Night's Dream” and, if their claims are verified, are either to be recruited for testing of SCP-3903 or administered Class-G1 amnestics and discredited. A disinformation campaign is to promote the belief that instances of SCP-3903-A suffer from a rare but benign neurological defect that causes them to hallucinate SCP-3903 under the correct optical conditions. Any videos showing instances of SCP-3903-A creating or walking upon SCP-3903-B are to be dismissed as crude hoaxes created using commercial video editing software and props. Description: SCP-3903 is a phenomenon capable of affecting an estimated 1 out of every [REDACTED] individuals, who are designated SCP-3903-A. SCP-3903 appears to instances of SCP-3903-A when looking out over an expanse of open ocean2 during night-time hours3 when the moon is visible in the sky. Instances of SCP-3903-A will report seeing glimmering silver spires4 on the horizon directly ahead of them. Currently, all descriptions of SCP-3903 are from instances of SCP-3903-A, as the Foundation has yet to develop a method of perceiving it directly. To date, no Foundation personnel have been identified as instances of SCP-3903-A. If an instance of SCP-3903-A skips a stone towards SCP-3903, each bounce of the stone will cause a circular disc of silvered glass (SCP-3903-B) to expand outwards until the ripples have visibly dissipated or it collides with a solid object, including other occurrences of SCP-3903-B. Each disc will remain temporarily fixed on the ocean’s surface, unable to be moved by any known method. By bringing a sufficiently large quantity of skipping stones with them, instances of SCP-3903-A may create a path of SCP-3903-B long enough to reach SCP-3903 on the horizon, approximately 5 km from their starting position. Any other method of travel will result in SCP-3903 remaining on the horizon relative to the position of the observer. Proficiency at stone skipping, as well as sufficient strength and endurance to carry a large quantity of stones for several kilometers is required to reach SCP-3903. SCP-3903-B instances require both the presence of moonlight and the absence of sunlight to form and remain intact. When the moon sets or is obscured, or the sun rises, any extant instances of SCP-3903-B will vanish. Simultaneous testing involving two SCP-3903-A instances approximately 1000 kilometers apart has resulted in both instances and their escorts meeting outside of SCP-3903 upon reaching the end of their separate paths. The Foundation has thus drawn the conclusion that SCP-3903 is a singular, actual object capable of occupying multiple points in the space-time continuum. The current hypothesis is that SCP-3903 represents an extradimensional location which partially manifests in our reality under specific conditions. Why only a very small percentage of the population is capable of perceiving SCP-3903 is uncertain, but analysis of the SCP-3903-A population has shown that they disproportionately identify as ‘Otherkin’, a subculture who believe themselves to have been non-human beings in previous lives. Instances of SCP-3903-A most commonly claim to have been some type of fairy or fey creature in their past lives. Show Exploration Log 1 Exploration Log 1: This was the first test where an instance of SCP-3903-A was able to reach SCP-3903. Test participants include SCP-3903-A1, Ellette Carling, and Foundation agent Joseph Gromwell. Each team member was provided with a body camera, GPS tracking bracelet, flashlight, emergency flotation device and appropriate clothing, along with a backpack filled with bottled water, rations, first aid kit, a satellite phone, and notebook. Agent Gromwell was armed with two sidearms and cartridges of iron, silver and beryllium bronze bullets. Gromwell was to follow alongside Ms. Carling and carry a 20 kg bag of skipping stones for her. Their mission was to reach SCP-3903 and, if possible, gain entry to it. <Begin Log, 21:00 hours> Agent Joseph Gromwell: Command's just confirmed that our comms and GPS signals are coming through loud and clear, so we are good to go. Can you see the city yet? Ellette Carling: As clear as ever. I’m super stoked about this by the way. I’ve always been too scrawny to bring enough rocks with me, but this could actually work! Gromwell: So on your previous attempts this city’s always appeared to get closer as you moved along the path? Carling: Oh yeah. I would guess I’ve maybe got a little under a third of the way there, so I’m going to say the city’s about three miles out. It’s a good number for a fairy city. Gromwell: If you don't mind my asking, what makes you so sure it's a fairy city? You've never been there. Carling: I guess I know it’s a Fey city for the same reason I know I have a Fey soul. I don’t think or feel like other people do, and the world I was born to seems foreign to me. Even my own family feel like strangers. When I look at that city, it looks familiar. It looks like home, more like home than any place in this world. When I saw Otherkin talking about it on Reddit, and that you could make a path there by skipping stones I tried it the first chance I got. I couldn’t believe it. I got about half a mile out before the moon decided to hide behind some clouds and leave me to swim back to shore. I nearly got hypothermia. Gromwell: Well the forecast is for clear skies tonight, so we should be all right. I've been on a lot worse assignments than a moonlit stroll. Start whenever you're ready. (Carling complies and skips her first stone. Thirteen instances of SCP-3903-B are created) Gromwell: That’s interesting. The Kant counter just went down a tick. No aspect radiation, though. I think that means these discs are parts of another reality sticking into ours and not manipulations of our own reality. Carling: Dude, this is fairy magic. You can’t quantify it with little gizmos or explain it with theories. Gromwell: (chuckles) You must be new here. Lead the way, and let me know if you see anything unusual. (Carling starts out towards the horizon, with Gromwell following behind) Carling: (singing) And all will turn, to silver glass. A light on the water. Grey Ships pass, into the West. <skip to 21:19 hours> Gromwell: GPS says we're 1.65 kilometers out to sea, so we’re officially past the one-mile mark. See anything new? Carling: Yeah actually. The city has a sky glow now. I’ve never noticed that before. It’s like it has a soft, silvery-white aura. I always thought it was reflecting moonlight before but now I think that’s its own light. Gromwell: Notice anything else? Carling: There’s definitely a wall encircling the city. (smirks) A big, beautiful wall. Yuge! Seriously, it's a gorgeous stone wall, probably a hundred feet high at least. I think there’s a harbour too; great silver ships with moon white sails. Give me another handful of stones. I have to get a closer look. <skip to 21:33> Carling: Do you see these birds? Gromwell: No, I don’t see any birds. Describe them. Carling: They’re seagulls, except they’re all white. Like pristinely white, with black eyes and legs and silver beaks. Gromwell: Fairy gulls or not, I bet they love french fries. Carling: Their voices are strange too. Their cry isn’t harsh like a seagull’s. It’s…triumphant. That’s the only way I can describe it. Gromwell: What are they doing? Carling: They’re just flying around; normal bird stuff. I don’t think they’ve noticed us. Gromwell: Let me know if that changes, and give me a heads up if one tries to shit on me. Carling: Will do. <skip to 21:49> Carling: Okay, now I hear music. Gromwell: Music? Carling: From the city. It’s faint, but it’s beautiful. Etheral, heavenly; fairy music. String and wind instruments mostly, I think. We’re so close. I think I can make out a gate in the city walls. Almost there. <skip to 22:02> Carling: Can you still not see it? We’re right in front of it. Gromwell: I can’t, but the Kant counter is getting a reading of 0.77, so there's definitely something freaky here. Tell me what you see. Carling: It’s so beautiful. Everything’s made from glistening white marble, bounded with mithril and encrusted with diamonds that sparkle like stars. There are silver banners blowing in the wind. The spires are too tall and slender to be made from stone, they have to be magic. The music is so joyous, and I can hear laughter now too. There’s a celebration, or maybe this is just what every day is like here. To either side of the gates is a colossal statue, taller than the Statue of Liberty, and…They just sounded trumpets! Gromwell: Does it sound like an alarm? Carling: No, a greeting! They're opening the gates! Gromwell: Is anyone coming out? Carling: There’s a girl! A fairy girl standing in front of the gates! She’s beautiful. I…I know her. Gromwell: You recognize her? Carling: I do. I remember! (At this point Ellette Carling runs straight forward into open water. Instances of SCP-3903-B form beneath each foot as it strikes the surface, supporting her. Subsequent testing has confirmed that other instances of SCP-3903-A have this ability as well when they perceive themselves to be in the immediate presence of SCP-3903. Agent Gromwell pursues her for approximately 12 seconds, at which point Carling vanishes and her GPS bracelet ceases to transmit. This is accompanied by a flash of green light and drastic but brief plunge in Hume levels. Agent Gromwell radios in the event and requests assistance. He shouts for Carling for several minutes and performs a rudimentary investigation of the immediate area. All background readings have returned to normal, however a silver coin is located upon the last instance of SCP-3903-B) <End Log> To date, all tests involving instances of SCP-3903-A traveling the full length of the path to SCP-3903 has resulted in their loss. No instances have ever returned, and all attempts to prevent them from fleeing to the city inevitably fail. Addendum: The coin Agent Gromwell recovered was discovered to be composed of Yttrium silver and was thaumically conductive. The obverse bore the image of a fairy queen, whereas the reverse bore a seven pointed star encircled by the following Anglo-Saxon Runes: ᛫ ᚸᚩ ᛫ ᚱᛆᛁᛒᚼ ᛫ ᛘᛆᛁᛐᚼ ᛫ ᛆᚵᛆᛐ ᛫ ᛚᚣ ᛫ ᚼᛆᚵᚼᛆᛁᛑᚼ ᛫ ᚫᚸ ᛫ ᛐᛆᛒᚼᛆᛁᚱᛐ ᛫ ᚢᛁᚱᛐᚼᛁ ᛫ ᛒᛖᛚ᛫ This is believed to be the Gaelic sentence “Go raibh maith agat le haghaidh ag tabhairt uirthi baile”. This has been translated as “Thank you for bringing her home”. Agent Gromwell has received similar coins for each instance of SCP-3903-A he has escorted to SCP-3903. They are currently kept in a low security safety locker at Site ██. Footnotes 1. ‘Gaslighting’ amnestics. These cause memories of anomalous phenomena to undergo derealisation in the minds of their subjects, who typically believe them to be dreams, fantasies or hallucinations. 2. SCP-3903 does not occur with inland bodies of water. 3. Defined as the sun being a minimum of 18 degrees below the local horizon. 4. Commonly referred to as Fata Morgana or The Fairy City in online forums. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3903" by DrChandra, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3904 | safe | Four instances of SCP-3904 (designations unknown) accompanied by Subject 3904/04 ("Jiggles"). Item #: SCP-3904 Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-3904 instances are currently kept in cold storage in Site-66. Should testing be required, live instances of Felis catus (Domestic housecat) can be requested from the Site-66 breeding pen. Description: SCP-3904 are male human cadavers with drastic alterations to their internal structure. The tissue comprising SCP-3904 instances is structurally similar to non-anomalous human flesh, but is highly resistant to decay and constantly emits an odour described by personnel as a combination of formaldehyde and catnip. SCP-3904 instances are capable of cellular regeneration despite their lack of nutritional intake; wounds inflicted on SCP-3904 instances will heal over time, but at a rate slower than that of a non-anomalous human body. Each instance of SCP-3904 can be distinguished from non-anomalous cadavers by the prominent hollows in its thoracic and abdominal cavities caused by the extensive removal of vital organs. Each compartment is covered by a flap of skin and muscle tissue with smooth, cauterised wound edges. In the thoracic cavities of SCP-3904 instances, the lungs, heart, and the lower ribs will have been removed, leaving the diaphragm intact; in the abdominal cavities, all organs have been removed. All tissue damage incurred via removal of the organs has been smoothly scarred over in all instances of SCP-3904. Each hollowed cavity in SCP-3904 is large enough to comfortably accommodate one adult domestic housecat. When filled with two cats in this manner, SCP-3904 spontaneously animates. Animated instances are sentient, but do not appear to be sapient. Instances are capable of bipedal locomotion, albeit with a distinctive stilted or "reverse-jointed" gait, and are incapable of speech, likely due to their lack of lungs. When solitary, animated instances of SCP-3904 are observed to wander around aimlessly until vacated by their interior cats. However, when two or more instances are animated in the same vicinity, they will begin to engage in a form of rudimentary wrestling, wherein the aim appears to be the dislodging of each other's interior cats. It is unknown whether this is due to anomalous compulsion on the part of SCP-3904 instances, or simply the result of natural feline behaviour. Notably, under controlled conditions, 70% of cats appear to prefer resting inside the interior of SCP-3904 instances over resting in other similar warm, dark, and confined spaces. The significance of this is also unknown. |
SCP-3905 | euclid | SCP-3905 (inset) and the area in which SCP-3905-B instances are initially deposited (circled, left). Photograph taken from research vessel. Item #: SCP-3905 Special Containment Procedures: A storage shed has been constructed around SCP-3905’s location, and Foundation agents employed by the city of Sacramento are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to it. Due to SCP-3905-A’s remote location, a small research vessel outfitted with several months of food rations is to be the only resource supplied for study of SCP-3905-A. Description: SCP-3905 is a public garbage can located in Sacramento, California that displays anomalous properties whenever a standard 355ml1 aluminum soda can is deposited into it. In all other instances where trash is deposited, SCP-3905 behaves identically to a non-anomalous trash can. Soda cans deposited into SCP-3905 will leave local space-time and be transported via unknown means to SCP-3905-A. SCP-3905-A is an uninhabited and inaccessible tropical island located in the territorial waters of the Philippines. Attempts to reach SCP-3905-A by non-anomalous means have failed due to an invisible barrier that manifests five meters off of its coastline. This barrier prevents all forms of solid matter from passing onto or off of the island, including instances of SCP-3905-B. Both SCP-3905-A and the soda cans present on it (hereafter SCP-3905-B) display anomalous properties. The following has been observed from SCP-3905-A via monitoring from the nearby research vessel: SCP-3905-B instances display signs of sapience, appearing to wordlessly communicate with one another and move about SCP-3905-A by sliding or jumping along its surface while being constantly engaged in a state of celebration or revelry. SCP-3905-B instances can perform many actions that would normally require arms, legs, or a greater height, such as limboing. SCP-3905-B instances often accomplish this by bending their aluminum frame, only to return to their original condition when the task is complete. A laptop, DJ turntable, and speaker system have been observed to function without power near the center of SCP-3905-A, continuously playing party-themed music (examples include "Feeling Hot Hot Hot" by The Merrymen, and "Let's Get It Started" by the Black Eyed Peas). A banner with the words “SUGAR SELEBRATION [sic]” is attached to the top of the speaker system. On the western end of SCP-3905-A, a plastic tube protruding from the ground and labeled “THE SWEET STUFF” continuously produces a substance believed by SCP-3905-A researchers to be alcohol. SCP-3905-B instances have been observed to line up behind the tube while taking turns “drinking” its contents by filling themselves with it. SCP-3905-B instances apparently violate the laws of space-time while consuming the alcohol, as they have been observed to repeatedly consume far more than would be able to fit into a 355ml can without spilling any contents out. On the eastern end of SCP-3905-A, another plastic tube labeled “THE ASPARTAME CHALLENGE” can also be seen protruding from the ground. This area is frequented less often than the western one, and SCP-3905-B instances who consume the contents of the tube almost immediately expel it from themselves while showing apparent signs of displeasure. SCP-3905-A has been observed to have a rough social structure based on the soda brands represented by SCP-3905-B. Well-known non-diet sodas (Pepsi, Coke, RC Cola) apparently issue orders and occasionally physically harm less popular or generic brands such as refreshe, usually by breaking off their soda tabs or involuntarily pouring the contents of the eastern plastic tube into them. A small pit approximately four meters deep and labeled “DIET DOUCHEBAGS” is located a short distance away from the speaker system. The pit contains cans of diet soda or sugar-free brands such as Zevia. These soda cans are inert and do not display the same anomalous properties that SCP-3905-B instances do. To date, no diet or sugar-free cans have become instances of SCP-3905-B. Footnotes 1. Commonly referred to and measured as a 12 ounce can in the United States. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3905" by ObserverSeptember, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3906 | keter | PeppersGhost SCP-3906 - The Blasphemous Balut Parade by PeppersGhost More by this author Item#: 3906 Level1 Containment Class: esoteric Secondary Class: numen Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: critical link to memo Agent Malano leading the 1993 containment parade. Agent Malano leading the 1993 containment parade. Item #: SCP-3906 Special Containment Procedures: Personnel stationed in the Central Visayas are to hold an annual celebration (Procedure 3906-BITAW) at Site-121 on the third Sunday in January. Execution of the event may vary superficially each year so long as the following features are included: A parade with production value comparable to that of the concurrent Sinulog1 festival in Cebu City. Anatine imagery should be incorporated into floats, props, and costumes. The parade should be led by a person carrying a modified Santo Niño2 figure with the head of a duck. Burnt offerings of sampaguita, kalatsutsi, and pagusi.3 An hourly ceremony in which bibingka, pandesal, and leche puto4 are fed to live ducklings. In the event that SCP-3906 enters an active state, mass amnestics must be immediately dispersed through the affected population. Cover stories to explain the disappearance of deceased individuals are available in DOC-3906-CS. To minimize loss of life during a potential breach, Foundation agents embedded in Filipino media outlets should intermittently propagandize the consumption of balut.5 Description: SCP-3906 is an ontokinetic entity which physically presents as an embryonic duck (Anas platyrhynchus) of unusual size suspended midair. When indoors it will assume the maximum size permitted by the vertical space available; outdoor manifestations are rare but have been reported to be as tall as ~80 meters. The range of manifestation and anomalous influence appears to be constrained to the Central Visayas region of the Philippines. When active, SCP-3906 will appear at night inside the households of citizens who have attended the most recent Sinulog-Santo Niño Festival. During manifestation, all means of egress will be blocked, and all prepubescent humans within the building will be subjected to spontaneous thermal injuries which increase in severity over a period of 15 to 30 minutes. Anomalous activity ceases once the victims' remains reach full internal denaturation. If no prepubescents are present, the lungs and airways of every person within the building will fill with a mixture of rock salt, vinegar, and siling labuyo.6 Outdoor manifestations affect multiple residences simultaneously. Active periods are usually precipitated by localized sightings of a bright comet over the community that SCP-3906 will manifest in next. SCP-3906 has remained largely dormant since the implementation of current containment procedures.7 History: Evidence of SCP-3906 activity dates back to the early 20th century. Widespread rumors from this period suggested that the consumption of balut would deter SCP-3906 from visiting one's home. This correlation was confirmed in later studies; however, it was also discovered that rapid growths in the sales of balut seemed to correlate with subsequent increases in SCP-3906 activity. The threat posed by SCP-3906 peaked in 1983, by which point balut had become a ubiquitous street food. On one occasion, SCP-3906 claimed 221 victims in a single night, with children accounting for over 85% of the deceased. Due to cultural associations between SCP-3906 and precolonial religion, Site-121 Director Lumina Togonon approved an attempt to negotiate with SCP-3906 via a Foundation-contracted babaylan.8 Interviewer: Dr. Rita Dulay, Anitism specialist Interviewed: SCP-3906 (by proxy) Proxy: Jemima "Lola Mima" Andal Foreword: Interview commenced shortly after Andal collapsed from exhaustion following several hours of ritual dancing. Possession was not deliberate; Andal had intended to act as a conscious intermediary. Transcript is presented in English for international purposes; please see DOC-3906-A54 for original text. [Begin log] SCP-3906: I have seen your dance. Dr. Dulay: Are we speaking to Renlin?9 SCP-3906: She will not be needed. Dr. Dulay: You can see us, but we cannot see you. Who is speaking to us? SCP-3906: You know me as Bulalakaw.10 I bring sickness and grief. Beg for my pity. Dr. Dulay: Spare our children. You can hear them scream in the night as their skin falls apart! We know you are very kind, and your actions are surely punishment for a grievance we have caused you. Do you truly think the children deserve this? Surely you see we are very sorry. You can see us, but we can not see you, and this is why we have wronged you without knowledge. We are enslaved by our grief and we beg for freedom. SCP-3906: I leave your children cooked and fit to eat. In your grief you provide [gratitude/graciousness].11 Dr. Dulay: You were not always this way. You know us, but we do not know you. We brought you betel nut12 in case you like to chew betel, and we have brought you alcohol in case you like to drink. Come enjoy them and we will talk about this. Tell us who you are now. SCP-3906: Your offerings are trivial to me. I have seen you make child sacrifices from feathered things. Those offerings give me form and power. In a time long gone, you gave me birds, and so I was a bird. Now you give me the unborn and I am unborn. But there is no ginhawa [breath/soul/will/intention] in your new sacrifice. I demand your ginhawa. I will collect your debt. I will collect your children. Dr. Dulay: Accept our current offering, because there is ginhawa in it. We did not know our balut was sacrifice, but now we know. You see so much, but we see very little. Tell us what grievance we have caused you so that we may earn your pity and be allowed to escape your destruction. You are the one who should instruct us, or else we cannot please you. SCP-3906: You have abandoned our [contract/covenant].13 You used to dance for me. Now you dance for an infant dressed in red wings and bright metals. Why should you dance in the name of a child? What makes a child worthy of your feasts and offerings? Where are my dances? Dr. Dulay: We will dance for you. When we see the image of balut, we will see you, and you will no longer need to come to our houses and communities to be seen. We will feast and make offerings for you, because your power and kindness makes you worthy. SCP-3906: I am worthy of what you give the child. (Dr. Dulay briefly turns to consult with other staff present.) Dr. Dulay: Our celebration in your name will be just as grand as the child's celebration. You will trust our eagerness to please you. You deserve rest; do not go through the trouble of making acts of rage. SCP-3906: I am seen by you. I will make a new [contract/covenant] with you. You will dance for me? Dr. Dulay: Yes, shooting star. We will dance for you. SCP-3906: And it will be equal to your dances for the child? Dr. Dulay: Yes. SCP-3906: And you will dress me in red wings and bright metals? Dr. Dulay: Yes! Everyone can see you are reasonable and understanding. Your talk with us has left all parties satisfied. If you do not care for chewing betel nut or drinking alcohol, you will leave this woman's body. She is old, and your presence here harms her! She has danced for you, and you agree that she has no debt against you. You will go. SCP-3906: I agree to go. I will allow you to summon me again at a later time. It is not important what subject we discuss. Remember to summon me. I am worthy to be summoned. Dr. Dulay: Yes, you are worthy. Everyone agrees. SCP-3906: Also, your dances should include lots of flowers and pretty girls. Dr. Dulay: Okay, yes. Good night, shooting star. [End log] Footnotes 1.

SCP-3907 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3907 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3907 and the field surrounding it are to be enclosed by a 125m x 125m perimeter fence, with at least one part of the fence obscured from view at all times. All SCP-3907 events are to be observed by on-site staff, and any abnormalities are to be reported at once. Description: SCP-3907 is an oak table dating back to 1908, set with 7 chairs, a tablecloth, and various white porcelain dinnerware. SCP-3907 is impervious to all damage or wear, being in atypically pristine condition for its age. SCP-3907's primary anomalous effect is shown during activation events, in which SCP-3907-1 through -5 manifest in the chairs surrounding SCP-3907. Activation events follow no set pattern, and seemingly happen at random. SCP-3907-1 through -5 refer to the 5 humanoid entities that manifest sitting at SCP-3907. No anomalous effects other than the manifestation around SCP-3907 have been observed. The entities don British army uniforms, circa 1915. Gathered from conversations, entities display expansive knowledge of and experience with the British Army, often describing tales of their exploits in various British military campaigns ranging from 1880-1915. During activation events, SCP-3907-1 through -5 will converse and drink from the dinnerware on SCP-3907, only stopping when interrupted by SCP-3907-6. SCP-3907-6 refers to a humanoid entity riding a horse. SCP-3907-6 wears the same uniform as all other SCP-3907 entities, albeit with significant charring and blast damage in the lower regions. In all recorded SCP-3907 activation events, SCP-3907-6 begins galloping at 18 km/h from a point on the horizon that no human is viewing. It will invariably head towards SCP-3907 and jump over the object and the entities dining at it. SCP-3907-6 jumping over the table and landing will end the activation event. Addendum-1: Example of an SCP-3907 activation event. SCP-3907-2: Gentlemen. SCP-3907-3: Evening, John. Boys. SCP-3907-2: Fine evening we're having tonight. Weather's just right, reminds me of nights as a child in York. SCP-3907-4: Nothing'll top the weather in the Transvaal. SCP-3907-5: Christ alive, that was infernal. If the damn Boers weren't trying to kill you, it seemed that furnace of a land was. SCP-3907-5: Allen, you like to talk up how bad South Africa was, but you wouldn't have lasted a minute in Afghanistan. Imagine, if you will: You shiver through a freezing night, only to be awoken to a 90° day. Three men in your company are already dead from the runs, and half the food's been taken by locals. You then go on your patrol, wearing your bright red uniform against tan stone. All of the sudden, a million turbans pop out of the rocks above, and half your group is dead. You try to return fire, but the bastards are halfway back to Kabul by the time you level your weapon! SCP-3907-2: Please, Edward. You've never seen a thousand Orientals, howling like terrors, charging down an alley with only a rifle and your wits separating you from them. SCP-3907-3: I'd take Shanghai a million times before I took Flanders again. SCP-3907-1, who has been silent the entire time, speaks up. SCP-3907-1: I can't go back there. The group grows somber. SCP-3907-1: *holding back tears* I didn't mean to. I couldn't have ever known. I can't take this any more. SCP-3907-2: I-it's okay, Murphy. None of us meant to. It's not your fault. SCP-3907-1: He's dead. We all are, and it's because of me. I'm sorry. SCP-3907-5: Murph, you couldn't have known that the grenade was prime- SCP-3907-2: Men. Stop. At this time, SCP-3907-6 manifests and begins its approach. SCP-3907-2: Time's up, lads. Looks like it's time to return. See you in the trenches. SCP-3907-2 stands and raises his glass in a toast. SCP-3907-2: To the fallen. SCP-3907-1 and SCP-3907-3 through -5 stand and raise their glasses. All, in unison: To the fallen. SCP-3907-6 jumps over the table as the entities finish the toast. SCP-3907 returns to its inactive state. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3907" by Krag-Jorgensen, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3907.

SCP-3909 | keter | Item #: SCP-3909 Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-3909-A are exceptionally difficult to identify prior to manifestation of SCP-3909-B, efforts are to focus on identification of SCP-3909-A instances after SCP-3909-B's first appearance through traces on social and traditional media. If SCP-3909-A has not yet participated in a competition, they are to be dosed with SCP-1853. The subject's areas of skill and expertise are to be assessed, and any assistance deemed necessary for developing these skills should be provided, before SCP-3909-A is allowed to participate in a competition. Any individual exposed to SCP-3909 should be amnesticized upon the conclusion of the phenomenon, and SCP-3909-A should be provided with medical treatment to remove SCP-1853 from their system. Description: SCP-3909 is a phenomenon that affects individuals who were conceived while their parents were listening to "Bring da Ruckus" by The Wu-Tang Clan. Specifically, both biological parents must consciously be aware of the music and listen to the entire track; insemination may occur at any point during the song. Individuals subject to SCP-3909 are designated SCP-3909-A. Exactly 7500 days after SCP-3909-A's birth, an instance of SCP-3909-B will manifest in front of them with a brief flash of red light. SCP-3909-B instances are apparently extraterrestrial entities of variable species, equipped with technology that permits their survival on Earth's surface. Each will produce the following message, either through a vocal organ or recording, in the subject's native language: Are you prepared for the challenge? If the subject gives a non-affirmative answer, SCP-3909-B will disappear with a flash of red light and repeat this process 24 hours later. If the subject answers in the affirmative, or has given a non-affirmative answer on five previous occasions, SCP-3909-B will produce the following message: I, Jou-Tzee,1 hereby initiate this glorious duel for the honor of the Empire of the Rusted Throne. Champion Ruckus, destiny has brought you here today for the purpose of defending the honor of the Sundered Collective. This is the moment you have trained your whole life for. Do not falter. Following this, SCP-3909-A and -B will both disappear with flashes of red light. SCP-3909-A will return alone in the same fashion anywhere from five minutes to two days later. According to testimony from several instances, SCP-3909-A and -B are instantaneously transported to an arena in an unidentified, likely extraterrestrial location. An estimated 200,000 extraterrestrial entities are present in stadium-like seating surrounding the arena, though at a distance that prevents subjects from making out identifiable features. The arena contains materials necessary for a one-on-one competition of variable nature; in each case, the format is one in which SCP-3909-A is skilled. After a brief ceremony in an unidentified language,2 rules for the competition will be announced both in that same language and SCP-3909-A's native language. SCP-3909-A and -B will then engage in the chosen competition. In each case, SCP-3909-B has demonstrated a great deal of skill in the competition of choice; SCP-3909-A has only won on two occasions. SCP-3909-A will reappear at their prior location at the conclusion of the competition. Addendum 3909-1: Partial catalog of SCP-3909 manifestations, compiled from SCP-3909-A testimony. See Appendix D for complete reports. Instance: SCP-3909-A-04, 2024-06-01 Competition: Arson Description: Contestants were provided with a large jug of flammable liquid, as well as lighters similar to those produced on Earth, and instructed to burn down identical empty one-story buildings. The contestant whose building collapsed first would considered the winner. Result: SCP-3909-A lost, due to SCP-3909-B's ability to use a propeller-like appendage to work the flammable liquid into a vapor which ignited readily and explosively. SCP-3909-B was killed in the conflagration, to the apparent delight of the crowd. Instance: SCP-3909-A-07, 2025-03-06 Competition: Rap battle Description: Reaction of the crowd was used as a metric to judge the winner. SCP-3909-A described the backing beats as "hypnotic", though admits that his perception was distorted by coincidental use of hallucinogenic drugs. Result: SCP-3909-A won by a narrow margin. Subject claims that his ability to rap is enhanced by drug use, though testimony from friends and family suggests otherwise. Instance: SCP-3909-A-09, 2025-06-19 Competition: Panic attack Description: The first competitor to suffer a panic attack, as determined by a judge, would be considered the winner. Result: As the subject was already experiencing a panic attack at the commencement of the competition, a judge disqualified SCP-3909-A and awarded SCP-3909-B the win. Instance: SCP-3909-A-10, 2026-01-02 Competition: Elvis impersonation Description: Contestants were judged on their ability to mimic Elvis Presley's mannerisms, dancing, and singing. Appropriate costumes and hairstyling were provided to both contestants, but appearance was de-emphasized as a metric. Result: SCP-3909-A won, though she personally considered SCP-3909-B's performance to be superior, and speculated that the judges were biased in her favor due to her opponent oozing a foul-smelling sludge from several orifices. Instance: SCP-3909-A-12, 2026-08-15 Competition: Dice rolling Description: Contestants would take turns rolling sets of five icosahedral (20-sided) dice, with the contestant receiving a higher total score winning the round. The first to win three rounds won the contest. Result: SCP-3909-A lost in three rounds, in each case narrowly. Further testing has shown that SCP-3909-A-12 can anomalously manipulate probability, able to beat non-anomalous humans in similar contests 98% of the time. Instance: SCP-3909-A-15, 2027-11-30 Competition: Quote-making Description: Contestants were given fifteen minutes each to devise a 1-2 sentence statement on a randomly chosen topic ("conquest"); a panel of judges then evaluated each quote on the basis of how inspirational, meaningful, and quotable they were. Result: SCP-3909-A lost, receiving minimum scores in each category. Subject attributed this to the fact that his statement was critical of conquest, whereas SCP-3909-B's quote was supportive of conquest. Addendum: Anomalous Phenomenon 71255-Indigo-B has been linked to SCP-3909. Since the phenomenon was discovered in 2028 with the deployment of the █████████████ Array, stars in a region of near-Earth space 200-500 light years away have disappeared on an irregular basis, with no apparent cause. Recent analysis has shown that, accounting for the 2-5 year delay associated with █████████████ viewing, these disappearances have corresponded with the conclusions of competitions between SCP-3909-A and -B; consequently, this phenomenon has been re-designated SCP-3909-C. The victor of the competition and degree of victory both affect the magnitude of SCP-3909-C. On the two occasions in which SCP-3909-A won the competition, no stars were observed to disappear. In each other case, between 1,480 and 87,513 stars disappeared, with smaller disappearances corresponding to better performances by SCP-3909-A. While it is unclear at this time whether SCP-3909-C poses a direct threat to Earth's solar system, per recommendation of Project Heimdall SCP-3909 has been preemptively upgraded to Keter-class, and containment has been re-oriented to maximize the performance of SCP-3909-A. Since enactment of these containment procedures, star disappearance associated with SCP-3909-C has decreased by 69% over historical averages. Footnotes 1. Approximate phonetic rendering. 2. The phrase "Bring the ruckus!", near the end of the ceremony, is spoken in English. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3909" by Communism will win, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3910 | safe | Item #: SCP-3910 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3910 is to be kept in a locked containment locker in Site-16. No personnel are allowed to remove the object from containment unless permission has been obtained from Dr. Williams. Description: SCP-3910 is a box containing nine pieces of colored chalk. The exterior of the box is colored orange and contains no other markings or identifying features. Along with the nine pieces of chalk, the interior of SCP-3910 also contains a sheet of paper with nine colored symbols on it. Each of these symbols seems to correspond with a color of chalk found in the object. The colors of the chalk are as follows: black, pink, brown, yellow, red, purple, orange, green, and blue. The pieces of chalk have remained the same size, even through constant use and testing. The main anomalous property of SCP-3910 occurs when a symbol from the sheet of paper is drawn with the appropriate color of chalk on any surface. Upon completion of the symbol, a door of varying shape and size will manifest on the surface the symbol was drawn on. Opening the door will lead to what is theorized to be a pocket dimension, which differs depending on the symbol drawn.1 Testing has shown that some stimuli within the pocket dimension(s) are not visible on camera. For this reason, testing was performed using D-Class subjects. See the table below for details. Color of Chalk Description of Door Manifestation Description of Pocket Dimension Black An automatic glass sliding door manifested on the testing room wall. Vision of the other side was obscured by a dense white mist. Upon entry, subject found themself in a building that resembled a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), devoid of human life. Opening doors inside of the building lead to "copies" of the same room. Exploration concluded after travelling roughly 5 kilometers without variation in building layout. Pink A red barn door manifested on the testing room wall. See Exploration Log 3910-02 for details. Brown A wooden door composed of an unidentified tree bark manifested on the testing room wall. Subject found themself in a swamp. Weather consisted of constant precipitation of varying types. Rain, snow, and hail were recorded all falling at the same time. The only notable discovery in this area was the decomposing body of a domestic pig (Sus domesticus). Exploration concluded after travelling roughly 3 kilometers. Yellow A large metal door resembling a bank vault door manifested on the testing room wall. Subject found themself in an exact replica of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Two cars were reported on the track, driving in opposite directions. They were later confirmed to be a Bugatti Veyron and a Volkswagen Beetle. Approximately every 30 seconds, the two cars would collide, taking heavy physical damage. The cars would then reverse, seemingly repairing as they reversed around the track and hit each other on the opposite side. This pattern repeated indefinitely. Testing was concluded after █ hours of observation. Red A subway car door manifested on the testing room wall. See Exploration Log 3910-05 for details. Purple A door similar in appearance to the sarcophagi found in Exploration Log 3910-05. Upon entry, subject found themself in a dark, cramped space. It is theorized that this was the interior of one of the sarcophagi. Subject became distressed when the way back appeared locked. Subject's distress increased as slits opened and [DATA EXPUNGED]. No attempts have been made to retrieve equipment or remains of subject. Orange A wooden door manifested on the testing room wall. Subject found themself in a log cabin situated in what appeared to be a temperate forest. Subject was instructed to leave cabin and explore the forest. Subject complied. Audio feed picked up the sound of rushing water. When subject was nearing the source of the noise, movement was recorded in the treeline to the subject's right. Subject immediately became non-compliant and retreated back to the cabin and Site-16. Subject has been sent back to cell. Green A standard metal door with an "Employees Only" sign attached to the front. Subject found themself in a seemingly deserted shopping mall. All stores appeared closed and the view inside of them was obscured. Examples of these stores include: A pet store that seemed to exclusively carry reptiles,2 an entire sewer system, and an exact replica of the Center for Disease Control Headquarters. Blue A section of the wall transformed into a 2x1 m rectangle composed of ice. Pushing against it caused it to open in a manner similar to a door. See Exploration Log 3910-09 + Exploration Log 3910-02 - Exploration Log 3910-02 Subject D-1321 was provided with standard exploration gear, including: An 8 watt flashlight with extra batteries A head mounted video camera for live feed A two way communicator Three meal bars Two 1.5 liter water bottles A tether that was attached to D-1321 before the test A backpack A compass <Begin Log> <0:00:00> The camera is activated. D-1321 is facing a rural landscape. A corn field can be seen to the left, and rows of wheat fields are seen in the distance. Another building is seen in the distance, but it is too far away to identify. <0:00:05> D-1321 turns around to face the point of entry. A barn is visible, apparently where D-1321 came out of. The tether rope is seen exiting the door. <0:00:11> D-1321 is instructed to turn around and to start moving towards the other visible building. Subject complies. <0:04:15> Subject stops in their tracks and asks control if "they heard that just now". Control denies hearing anything and on playback of video and audio feed, nothing can be heard. D-1321 is instructed to continue. <0:07:23> Subject stops again and reports wind. Control confirms this from the video feed; the wheat in the wheat fields are visibly swaying more and the audio feed picked up the wind. Subject is instructed again to keep moving to the building, which appears to be an old house. <0:11:45> Subject is about 100 meters from the house when they stop again. D-1321 reports the wind getting "more violent" and turns around. At least four tornadoes of varying size and strength are visible in the distance behind D-1321. Subject becomes distressed and begins to remove their tether. Control does not object at this time, as removal may increase chance of survival. D-1321 begins to run to the house. <0:13:06> D-1321 arrives at the house. A cellar is visible on the outside; D-1321 is instructed to enter it and barricade the door to shelter from the storms. D-1321 complies instantly. <0:15:17> D-1321 has entered the cellar and barricaded the door. D-1321 opens up their backpack and removes the flashlight, switching it on. D-1321 asks for permission to explore the cellar "as long as they are down here." Permission is granted. <0:16:43> The cellar appears barren; only simple farming tools and rotten fruit can be seen. D-1321 stops again and asks control if they heard anything. Control states that they have not picked up audio once more. When asked to describe the noise, D-1321 states it sounding feminine and adds that they hear it continuously. D-1321 is instructed to find the source of the noise and complies after some convincing. <0:21:03> Subject states that the source of the noise is coming from behind a door in the cellar. D-1321 is instructed to open it and complies. Opening the door reveals a storage room filled with bags of grain. Two decomposing corpses are seen in the room. One appears to be a female in early adulthood, the other a male in later adulthood. Both are nude and have multiple lacerations and puncture wounds in the abdominal area. D-1321 shows abnormal behavior, walking up to the corpses and asking if they are OK. Control does not interrupt and D-1321 continues, apparently having a conversation with the female corpse. In debriefing, it was confirmed that D-1321 perceived the corpses as living humans who were also hiding from the storms. Their conversation consisted of [DATA EXPUNGED]. <0:46:42> The noise outside has greatly reduced and D-1321 is instructed to leave the cellar. The subject complies and it is clear again. D-1321 is then instructed to walk back to the original barn and go back through the barn door. Subject complies and returns to the testing room in Site-16 without further incident. <End Log> + Exploration Log 3910-05 - Exploration Log 3910-05 <Begin Log> <0:00:00> Camera activates. D-1321 appears to be in a subway station. This is confirmed when D-1321 turns around and it is revealed that they have just exited a subway car. D-1321 is instructed by control to find a way to get to the surface. Subject complies. <0:06:17> Subject finds multiple stairs and powered down escalators and uses them to ascend. Throughout this, subway has been shown to contain no signs of life. D-1321 climbs the final escalator and exits into a barren metropolitan area. D-1321 is told to stand-by while control discusses the next course of action. It is agreed that D-1321 is to reach the top of one of the taller buildings and survey the area. D-1321 is to first go back to the subway car and back to Site-16 so the tether can be removed; the area proves too big and the length of the tether will just obstruct D-1321's progress. <0:13:34> Subject returns to Site-16 and tether is removed. D-1321 is given ten cans of yellow-green spray paint to mark their path through the city. D-1321 is then released back into the subway and makes their way back to the surface. <0:20:45> D-1321 has made it back to the surface and begins heading to the closest skyscraper. D-1321 enters to find themself in a mostly empty white room. Elevator doors are in the back of the room. The rest of the room is devoid of furniture, barring crudely made stone sarcophagi that line the walls. D-1321 is instructed to approach one for examination. It appears that each one has been individually hand carved. D-1321 is then instructed to move into the elevator and go to the highest floor. Subject complies. <0:25:02> Subject exits elevator into a room that is visually identical to the first room, the only difference being glass walls. Sarcophagi still line the walls. D-1321 is instructed to view the city from all four sides of the room. A wall can be seen surrounding the city, about three fourths the size of the building D-1321 is in. However, because of the distance, it is difficult to see what lies beyond the wall. Therefore, it is decided that D-1321 should exit the skyscraper and move towards the wall. D-1321 complies and begins the descend down the building. <0:36:23> At this point, D-1321 is outside and moving towards the wall. Sarcophagi can be seen through the windows of buildings and many can be seen standing upright on street corners. D-1321 spray paints lines into the ground as they move forward. <0:52:42> D-1321 has reached the base of the wall. Sarcophagi line the outside of the wall. Lifts can also be seen on the outside of the wall, about one every 100 meters. D-1321 is instructed to enter a lift and take it to the top of the wall. D-1321 complies. <0:57:21> The lift reaches the top of the wall and D-1321 exits. D-1321 is instructed to look over the wall and they comply. D-1321 imminently becomes distressed. All that is visible over the wall are corpses, too close together to see the ground. D-1321 does not respond to verbal commands from control. Suddenly, D-1321 beings to run back to the lift and takes it down despite control demanding them to stop. D-1321 run back to the subway and back to the door that leads to Site-16, where they are immediately taken in for interview. <End Log> The following is an excerpt from the interview that took place after Exploration 3910-05 Interviewer: Dr. Williams Subject: D-1321 Dr. Williams: Why did you run D-1321? What did you see? D-1321: There were just so many of them…I didn't know what to do. I was just frozen in fear at first. You know how you just lock up and can't even think of anything? That's what I was going through. Dr. Williams: Forgive me, but I don't understand. It was a lot of corpses, sure, but for you to react like that to them doesn't make sense to m- D-1321: Corpses? Was that camera busted or something? Those weren't corpses, man. It was people. Thousands and thousands of people, tearing each other apart. You could just feel the anger, the hate radiating off of them. All of it directed at each other. And then one of them spotted me and they all just…they all stopped just like that. Every single fucking one of them. That's when I knew I was fucked. It's hard to describe but…It's like all that hate was suddenly being directed at me. I ran, so what? Anyone would have done the same thing. + Exploration Log 3910-09 - Exploration Log 3910-09 Upon entering, D-1265 found themself in a frozen wasteland. D-1265 imminently came back and was issued arctic survival gear. D-1265 proceeded to go back into the doorway and continued the exploration. <Begin Log> <0:04:02> D-1265 has returned from Site-16 with arctic gear. Due to the lack of visible landmarks, they are instructed to pick a direction and continue along it. If nothing is found within three kilometers, D-1265 is to return to the doorway. D-1265 complies. <0:23:34> D-1265 has walked about 1 kilometer at this point with no variation in the environment. When asked how they were doing, D-1265 replied "Cold." Control stops asking about personal status from now on. <0:35:21> D-1265 is about 1.5 kilometers into the wasteland when a shape becomes visible in the distance. Subject is instructed to head towards the landmark. <0:37:30> As D-1265 gets closer to the object, visibility becomes worse. Precipitation mixed with wind and fog make it difficult to tell what the object is. D-1265 advances. <0:42:26> D-1265 stops as they get within 50 meters of the object. When instructed to get closer, D-1265 replies by stating that it will see them if they get any closer. From this distance, the object appears to be a stone statue. <0:43:02> Control radios D-1265 again to request for them to move forward. D-1265 radios back in a distressed tone for control to "shut up or else that thing is gonna hear". D-1265 at this point looked up and at the object before becoming extremely distressed and shouting, most of which was unintelligible. <0:44:12> Subject begins to walk towards the object, which can be identified now as something that resembles the sarcophagi from Exploration 3910-05, except much larger. As D-1265 approaches the sarcophagus, they shout at it to "get away from them". D-1265 stumbles and falls. The camera is dislodged and lands on the ground, facing the sarcophagus. <0:45:01> The sarcophagus opens. Three corpses of middle aged men are inside. D-1265 continues to express distress and shock, shouting at the corpses and sarcophagus to "get your damn hands off of me". D-1265 walks into the sarcophagus and it closes. <0:45:42> The camera feed stays online until the camera runs out of battery. The view is of the outside of the sarcophagus. The only visible mark is an inscription that was written on the bottom of it: Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate. <End Log> The language was found to be ancient Italian of the Tuscan dialect, and translates to "Abandon every hope, ye who enter", a line found in Canto 3 of Dante Alighieri's Commedia. Footnotes 1. It is currently unknown if these are nine separate pocket dimensions or one connected one. 2. It is unknown how these animals survived without food. Subjects have been brought back to Site-16 to test for anomalous properties. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3910" by Sly161, from the SCP Wiki.

Be advised: under no circumstances should any adherents of an organization indicated in the Area-02 Religious Entities guidebook be assigned to SCP-3911. SCP-3911-1 is contained in a reinforced object containment locker at Armed Reliquary Area-02. A Class-AR Scranton Reality Anchor1 has been permanently affixed to the exterior of the locker, and should be checked monthly for technical integrity. SCP-3911-2a & -2b are contained together within a standard biological containment locker in the same facility. In the event of a major containment breach of SCP-3911-1, it is believed that SCP-3911-2a & -2b will be the obvious next targets for retrieval, despite the lack of any obvious anomalous properties. As such, these objects have been placed in a sealed containment vault in sublevel 32 of Area-02. Specifics relating to a containment breach have been sealed under administrative order O5.ord.3911 and will be made available to Area-02 security in the event of a breach episode. Description SCP-3911-1 file photo SCP-3911-1 is a 1.89 meter long shaft of bone decorated with ornate patterns. The method by which SCP-3911-1 has been shaped is assumed to have been carnomantic in nature, as there are no observable indications of tool use. Analysis of the object suggests that it was grown from a single human bone, the specifics of which are unclear.2 The latent Akivar rating of 6.02 manifests as significant modification to living tissue to such a degree that it makes physical examination of the object impossible. SCP-3911-2 collectively refers to a long couch-styled divan3 and footstool4, both grown from human bone and inlaid with decorative glass. The cushion atop the divan appears to be made from a material that resembles cloth, though analysis of samples taken from the cloth indicates that it is woven from several different types of human hair & stitched together with stretched human sinew. While neither of the SCP-3911-2 objects exhibit any anomalous properties aside from their construction, both are believed to have once belonged to the same entity that created SCP-3911-1 and were initially discovered together. Both SCP-3911-1 and -2 display signs of extreme age and damage. Carbon dating of the SCP-3911-2 objects suggest that they originate at some point in the 13th-12th centuries BCE. Analysis of the DNA found within the -2 object contain only X-chromosomes, specifically from the mtDNA Haplogroup T subclade T1a. This suggests that the origin of SCP-3911 would likely be in the western Ural region of Siberia.5 Attached Addenda Discovery SCP-3911-2a & -2b file photo On October 21, 2019 a report was made from an asset within the Hellenic Police6 that an unusual event had been logged by the field office on the island of Kythira, Greece. Representatives from the University of Sydney, Australia had filed a request for local law enforcement to do a check-in at one of their dig sites located in the south-east horn of the island. The law enforcement officer sent to investigate also failed to report in, at which point the Foundation asset intervened to redirect the active response to the Foundation. RTF Omicron-22 ("Relic Hunters")7 was activated and sent to investigate. ■ 3911.doc.01 - Retrieval Event Video Transcript ■ □ 3911.doc.01 - Retrieval Event Video Transcript □ Retrieval Event Video Transcript Date: 2019/10/22 @ 21:02 Retrieval Team: RTF Omicron-22 ("Relic Hunters") Operational directive: Explore & Retrieve Team Lead: Captain Dimitra Stratide, "Alpha" Foreword: RTF Omicron-22 arrived at the site via helicopter. The site itself is made up of three prefabricated mobile trailers surrounding a shaft dug into the side of a rise. Two University of Sydney-labeled SUVs are parked near the buildings, and the police response SUV can be seen parked on the road. At the time of arrival, there were no signs of activity. [BEGIN LOG] [Primary feed is from Captain Stratide's helmet camera. The helicopter lands on the rise above the site, and the four person team deploys from there, descending rapidly into the site proper.] Alpha: Keep your heads on a swivel, boys. We have precious little intel about this jaunt. Delta: Heard, Cap. There ain't shit out here. I thought all of this stuff had been dug up long ago. Alpha: People keep finding shit, so other people keep sending folks out here to dig it up. Beta: Wasn't there some big battle here that the Foundation doesn't want anyone to know about? Alpha: Yeah. That's why we got sent out with almost nothing to go on. Something happened here and the Broken God guys are real closed-mouth about it. [The team splits into two groups before moving into the site proper, with Alpha & Delta heading towards the nearest of the trailers.] Alpha: Go for breach. [Delta opens the door and steps inside, heading left. Alpha's view follows, then she turns right and scans the interior.] Alpha: Trailer one clear. Mostly crates and some poor schmuck's paperwork. No signs of recent activity. Beta: Trailer two clear. Mess hall. No signs of activity here either, place is pretty clean. [The team converges on the third trailer, with Alpha and Delta breaching.] Alpha: Trailer three clear. It's a workspace of some sort. Couple of light tables and some dirt boxes. Beta: Well, I guess that leaves the dig site. These things are never simple. For once I'd like to get sent in and everyone's just having a sit-down complaining about pay or something. Alpha: The brass doesn't need to send in highly-trained asskickers to that kind of thing. Instead, we get the messy shit you signed up for. And, since you asked so nicely, you get point. [The team approaches the opening in the side of the ridge. The shaft angles down at a slight incline, with rough timber bracing the sides and ceiling of the shaft, with the glow of electric lights visible further in.] Beta: Well, at least we have lights. Always nice to see what's trying to kill us. [The team proceeds down the shaft, Beta leading with Alpha directly behind. Delta & Gamma follow, stepping carefully on the uneven surface.] Command: The info we got from Sydney U indicates that the primary dig site is 120 meters or so into the hillside. At 80, you'll make a slight left to get around some obstruction. This site was apparently some sort of fortress that got buried two to three thousand years ago. We just got a dump from the Anthropology Department that says this place played a role in the Sarkic/Mekhanite war, so look out for mech works. [The team halts at the bend in the tunnel, and the camera plays across a frieze that has been uncovered in the wall. The carving depicts what look like several colossi standing around an empty field] Alpha: Uh, Command, are you seeing this? Why wasn't this site tagged by our own Anthro boys before now? This is clearly Mekhanite. Command: It was. Foundation Archaeologists are scheduled to take over next month. Delta: Well, that timetable's fucked now. [The team moves past the frieze and deeper into the shaft. About 40 meters on, the shaft opens into what looks like a chamber. Delta pauses just before the opening and indicates something on the floor.] Delta: Cap, looks like we have blood spatter. Gamma: Hey, the Kant meter is going up like a Christmas tree. Showing heavy Hume fluctuation and a helluva lot of Akiva. [Alpha taps Delta on the shoulder in acknowledgement and the team steps around the splash of dark mud in the floor to enter the room.] Delta: Fuck me. [The chamber is a wide, semicircular space, the central area dominated by a large dais, and the back wall made up of what looks like a collapsed section of the roof. Arrayed around the central dais are twelve slowly undulating organic masses.] Alpha: Command, do you have any read on what we're looking at? Command: Not yet. I've got a call in to get some of our Anthro people on the feed, but we got shunted to Dr. Low's assistant. We weren't expecting a Sarkic anomaly here after this long. Proceed with caution. [Alpha gestures for the rest of the team to spread out as she passes Delta and steps into the room, following the right curve of the wall. As she does, she looks across to the central dais, where an unknown person can be seen reclining atop SCP-3911-2a, SCP-3911-1 held in one of its right hands. The figure's upper torso appears to have been radically altered, allowing for the presence of three additional sets of upper limbs, all but one of which rests upon her lap. Several ridges of exposed muscle can be seen alternating between three sets of additional breasts, all of which are engorged and dripping a viscous black fluid. The figure's face is upturned towards the construction light hanging from the ceiling and it continues to sit unmoving, its eyes closed.] Beta: I… is that Chalmers?8 Alpha: I'm not certain. Her file didn't say anything about her being a cultist. Command? Command: Negative. Alexandra.aic says that Elizabeth Chalmers has a near zero-percent chance to have any hidden Sarkic connections. Alpha: Well, if that's Chalmers, she sure as fuck isn't just a goddamn student. [Alpha gestures and Beta and Gamma move in towards the dais, their weapons trained on the figure seated there. As Gamma steps forward, he steps close to one of the masses on the floor and it emits an audible groan and shifts towards him.] Gamma: [Stepping back, his weapon falling to point at the mass.] Shit, this thing is a fucking person. [Alerted by the vocalization of the first mass, the other eleven masses begin to shift towards it and Gamma, muscle tissue moving underneath their skin. Beta can be seen looking down towards the mass nearest him before jumping back, his weapon leveled at it.] Beta: This one has a face, Captain. I think it's a face, anyway. It opened an eye and fucking looked at me. Delta: Heads up. Chalmers is active. [Alpha swings her head up, bringing the Chalmers entity back into view. All four of its right hands are now gripping SCP-3911-1 and its head lolls towards Gamma. As its head tilts forward, a gush of black fluid spills from its mouth, slowly spreading across its warped chest.] Chalmers: Help… me… I can't… I can't… [Its top left hand extends out towards Gamma, its fingers trembling as it reaches towards him. At its vocalization, all twelve of the masses begin moaning and the muscles under their skin begin to cramp and contort in unison.] Alpha: Command, you got anything for me yet? We're armed to take on mechs, not flesh-things. Command: Retreat to the tunnel. We have another Omicron-22 team headed your way, ETA 13 minutes. Alpha: Fucking heard. Boys, you heard the man. Back out slowly. [As the team begins to back towards the entrance, the Chalmers entity emits a shriek that causes the twelve masses to freeze in place.] Chalmers: No! Please, you gotta… you gotta help me! I can't… I CAN'T! [The masses begin moving again at an accelerated pace, rapidly gaining on the four RTF operatives. Alpha gestures and the team opens fire on the masses, projectiles impacting against the flesh eliciting sprays of black ichor. The Chalmers entity shrieks again and the masses sprout tendrils of muscle tissue, which reach obscenely towards the team.] Alpha: Fuck it, get out. Now. Command, bring a dig team, 'cause I'm blowing this freakshow. [The team makes it to the doorway, still firing at the squirming masses. At the opening, the three other operatives move through it, with Alpha pausing long enough to pull two grenades from her harness.] Alpha: Frag out. Make tracks, boyos. [She pulls both pins and tosses the grenades into the middle of the room before turning and sprinting up the tunnel behind the others. Six seconds later a loud concussion momentarily disrupts the audio pickups, and a cloud of dust briefly obscures the camera feed before the team exits the tunnel.] [END LOG] Afterword: The reinforcing Omicron-22 team arrived 12 minutes later and the combined units performed a thorough sweep of the area. No additional anomalous entities were located and there were no signs of any breach attempts from the dig shaft. Additional teams were sent to the site and the entire area was closed to the public. The University of Sydney was notified that a structural failure at the site was the cause of the team's loss and that no bodies would be immediately forthcoming due to the ongoing investigation. Over the next several weeks, the site was carefully excavated and the non-living bodies of thirteen individuals were sent to Biological Site-16 for processing. In addition to SCP-3911-1 and -2, several non-anomalous objects of art were removed and transported to the Department of History main office in Prague. A full list of the objects recovered from the dig site is available upon request. SCP-3911-1 and -2 were transported to Area-02 due to the high levels of Akiva radiation emanating from SCP-3911-1. The Foundation convoy carrying SCP-3911 was attacked en-route by members of GoI-0432 ("The Hunter's Black Lodge"), a criminal organization with ties to the Russian Mafia and a known Neo-Sarkic cult. How they were able to acquire information on the transport and its whereabouts is currently under investigation. SCP-3911 was initially transported by ship to Bergen, Norway where it was transferred to an armored convoy for the remainder of the transit to Area-02. The convoy transited safely into Sweden near Flötningen, where the attack took place. ■ 3911.doc.02 - Video Transcript ■ □ 3911.doc.02 - Video Transcript □ Transport Assault Video Transcript Date: 2019/10/29 Transport Team: MTF Xi-8 ("The Last to Fall") Operational directive: Transport SCP-3911 to Area-02 Team Lead: Major Arkades Petralia, "Alpha-1" Foreword: The initial stages of this action have been omitted for brevity. The assaulting force attacked the convoy at night, utilizing the surrounding trees as cover. They initially stopped the convoy by mining the highway, disabling the forward vehicle and damaging the roadway sufficiently to prevent forward escape. Over the course of the next 29 minutes the attacking forces destroyed or disabled all of the convoy vehicles while taking heavy casualties. Major Petralia was stationed in the central vehicle, and his camera shows the final stages of the assault. [BEGIN LOG] [Maj. Petralia is standing inside the cargo section of the central vehicle, and his view shifts from one of the gun ports looking north to one of the southern ones. As his view swings past the central cargo space, two black containment lockers can be seen secured to the floor of the cargo bay.] Alpha-1: Bogeys to North and South. Vehicle four just went dark, so we are likely on our own. Let's show these bastards why we are the Last to Fucking Fall. [The sound of gunfire can be heard across the communication channel as Maj. Petralia discharges his rifle through a gun port. As he continues firing, another explosion rocks the vehicle and he is thrown to the ground.] Alpha-4: Major. Major! We gotta have someone against the back door, that last hit came from underneath. [The Major climbs to his feet, then checks his firearm before changing clips.] Alpha-1: Two and Six, you're first line. I don't care who comes through those doors, they won't be Foundation. Four, you're in the cab. [A rapid staccato of bullet impacts reverberate through the inside of the cab as the attacking force renews their assault. Maj. Petralia leans against the wall of the armored container, waiting out the last of the fire before turning and discharging his weapon through the gun port. His shots are slow and deliberate, as he takes a breath to aim before gently squeezing the trigger.] Alpha-4: Cab clear. Both drivers are dead, but one of them managed to hit the emergency seal. Radio is down in here too, but we're still getting a satellite download. Command is saying that air support is inbound, uhh should be 9 minutes out. Alpha-1: Heard. Seal off from the cab. We- Alpha-4: Major, we don't have time for that. Rear camera is operational and I see five, no six, incoming. Alpha-1: Damn. Send the update to Command, but wait to get back here until after they breach. Who knows what they'll toss in at us. Alpha-4: Yes sir. Uplink established, sending status- [She is interrupted by another concussive shock as the back doors are blown inward. Alpha-2 is ripped apart by the blast, spraying the interior of the trailer with viscera. Alpha-6 opens fire into the darkness outside the door; his targets are out of range of the camera feed. The Major swaps out another clip, then ducks behind the cases containing SCP-3911. Shouting can be heard from outside the trailer in between the rapid-fire bursts from Alpha-6's assault rifle.] Alpha-4: Uplink complete. Air support eta 8 minutes. [The Major grunts in reply, then leans around the edge of the case just in time to see Alpha-6 fall to more gunfire.] Alpha-1: We don't have 8 fucking minutes. Stay in the cab, four. Seal the rear access and stay put. This place is about to get real hot right quick and air will likely need eyes on the ground. Alpha-4: Yes sir. It's been an honor. Alpha-1: It's been something. Thank you. [Voices can be heard speaking in Russian as two of the attackers climb into the rear of the trailer. The Major takes a deep breath, then swings to the side, firing four times in rapid succession and taking both attackers in the chest. He ducks back behind the case as answering gunfire peppers the wall in front of him. He takes another quick glance then jerks back as a bullet impacts the case directly in front of him. He curses and rolls to the other side, quickly firing four more rounds towards the back.] Alpha-1: I can't fucking see them. Do you- [He is interrupted as another explosion lifts him bodily from the floor and hurls him forward into the front wall of the trailer. He grunts in pain and slides to the floor. His camera angle shows the entirety of the trailer and the remains of the two cases containing SCP-3911. After 30 seconds, two figures in tactical gear climb into the truck, weapons raised. When no one fires on them, they separate, both moving to put several bullets into -2 and -6. A third figure climbs into the trailer and walks over to the cases. He pushes some of the debris out of the way, revealing SCP-3911-1.] Unknown 1: Я нашёл Шип. Быстро отошли от грузовиков.9 [The other two figures can be seen pulling back and exiting the rear of the vehicle. The remaining figure sets aside his rifle and pulls both gloves free from his hands to drop on the floor. He glances back towards the rear of the trailer, then slowly reaches down and lifts SCP-3911-1 free of the debris. He immediately shrieks in pain as SCP-3911-1 appears to writhe in his hands. He falls to his knees, SCP-3911-1 clutched to his chest. Blood can be seen seeping from his palm onto SCP-3911-1. After 20 seconds, the figure looks up towards the front of the trailer.] Unknown 1: ŋämän cuca, utuua ŋetküce10 [As the figure straightens, it lowers its hand clutching SCP-3911-1 to its side, and deep crimson ribbons of tissue can be seen running from the back of its hand and wrist down into SCP-3911-1. The ribbons intermittently ripple, as if something is passing through them from the figure into the staff. It steps over to the body of Alpha-6 and reaches down with its free hand to tear the combat vest clear of the body. SCP-3911-1 seems to flex again, and the figure kneels down beside the body to push the fingers of his left hand into Alpha-6's exposed upper torso. The skin and tissue of Alpha-6's chest and rib cage expands to run freely around the figure's hand before sliding up its wrist and underneath the cuff of its shirt. After 187 seconds, the figure stands, its exposed skin rippling and undulating as something moves beneath the surface. It looks back at the front of the trailer before turning and exiting through the rear.] [The camera feed switches to an exterior camera mounted on the side of the convoy vehicle. The figure can just be seen at the edge of the frame where it collapses to the ground and screams. Two mounds of tissue sprout from its back over the shoulder blades and rip through its shirt and tactical vest. The two sprout into long, thin arms ending in a three-fingered claw tipped with 6 centimeter talons. The figure pushes itself back to its feet, using both SCP-3911-1 and its new limbs for balance. One of its companions approaches it from the side to offer assistance, obviously undeterred by the physical transformation. The entity snatches the other by the throat using one of its new limbs, the talons sinking deeply into the skin of his neck. The victim shrieks in pain and struggles only momentarily before the entity reaches over with his left hand and drags his palm across the man's face, taking the flesh and lower jaw with it.] Unknown 1: ŋämän cuca, jumnüta süve a. Tsatsa lüjekütake nälikäma.11 [The entity proceeds to consume its former companion much as it had consumed Alpha-6, the skin and muscle tissue melting away from its victim and flowing over the entity's exposed flesh. Additional ripples can be seen moving along the entity's face, and eight bone protrusions rip free of its head to form a coronet around the top portion of its skull.] Unknown 1: ŋämän cuca, sukanta juki a! matse sutä-12 [The figure is interrupted by the arrival of three Foundation fast attack helicopters. All three of them immediately target the entity and it is consumed within a ring of explosive detonations. Two of the helicopters maintain a sustained fusillade of rocket fire at the entity, while the other circles to attack the surviving members of the assault force. The helicopters cease firing after 84 seconds when the secondary wave of fast troop transport helicopters arrive and deploy another three MTF Xi-8 squads.] [END LOG] Afterword: The surviving members of GoI-0432 were cornered in a ravine less than a kilometer from the attack site, where the majority of them self-terminated. Deployed members of MTF Xi-8 were able to retrieve all three elements of SCP-3911 without issue, with SCP-3911-1 apparently unscathed by the attack. There was no trace of the unknown entity and it has been considered neutralized by the rocket fire. The sole surviving GoI-0432 member was apprehended at the scene and was prevented from self-terminating by surviving members of Xi-8. He was transported the rest of the way to Area-02 with SCP-3911 where he was held for questioning. ■ 3911.doc.03 - Detainee Interview Log ■ □ 3911.doc.03 - Detainee Interview Log □ Date: 2019/10/30 @ 09:22 Interviewer: Major Yuli Kiselev Detainee: Etush Larion ("Larya") Yurievich Foreword: The detainee was placed under heavy restraint and given a course of chemical supplements prior to the interview, the log of which has been translated from Russian. [BEGIN LOG] Maj. Kiselev: Please state your name for the record. Yurievich: Пошла ты нахуй, шлюха.13 Maj. Kiselev: Please. This will go much easier for you if you just cooperate. Yurievich: The Brothers have been inoculated, blessed by Orok.14 Maj. Kiselev: Yes. I know. Your modified body chemistry has been taken into account when we were administering the drugs. Our chemists are quite good at their job. Yurievich: Пошли в пизду твои химики.15 Maj. Kiselev: I can wait. Give it time. [Major Kiselev proceeds to flip through the file on the table in front of him, ignoring the detainee. After 178 seconds, the detainee is noted to be showing signs of internal distress and is beginning to visibly perspire. After an additional 206 seconds, the detainee starts to shift erratically in his chair and to utter curses under his breath. After 316 seconds more, the detainee slumps in his chair, his face expressionless. At this point, Major Kiselev looks up from the file at the detainee and studies him for 3 seconds before closing the file.] Maj. Kiselev: Now, that's better. Please state your name for the record. Yurievich: Etush Larion Yurievich. Larya. Maj. Kiselev: Thank you. I'm now going to ask you some questions about the raid where you were apprehended. How did you find out about it? Yurievich: The Great Mothers told us to go, and we went. They told us to get the Thorn of God, nothing else mattered. Maj. Kiselev: [Flips open the file and holds up a picture of SCP-3911-1] This? Yurievich: Yes. They didn't have a picture, just a drawing. From the Valkzaron.16 Maj. Kiselev: I see. Did they also tell you what it was? Yurievich: Mother- [He struggles with the word, as if unable to speak. He frowns and continues to struggle, not breathing.] Maj. Kiselev: Her name doesn't matter. Tell me what she said. Yurievich: [He takes a ragged breath, looking relieved.] She said that it was of the Ozi̮rmok,17 and that we must retrieve it. To not come back if we failed. Maj. Kiselev: That it was one of Ion's tools or weapons? Yurievich: [He spits] You are koljatmertä,18 unfit to speak His Name. Maj. Kiselev: Answer the question. Yurievich: No, you fool. It was OF the Ozi̮rmok. It is His very Flesh. Maj. Kiselev: Doesn't the Valkzaron teach that Ion is no longer of this world? Yurievich: [Coughs.] Yours, maybe. The Mothers tell us that He is wai- [Coughs again, harder.] That He is waiting. That He will return and- [He coughs again, this time spewing several droplets of blood onto the table top. Major Kiselev gets up from the table and backs away.] Yurievich: [After several more rounds of coughing.] He will return and claim what is His. [END LOG] Afterword: Shortly after his final words, the detainee resumed coughing, spewing up a large quantity of blood and various pieces of viscera before expiring. An autopsy of the body later revealed an extensive infestation of previously-unrecorded 6.8cm-long organisms. These parasitic organisms had chewed their way into the detainee's left lung, where they began consuming the secondary and tertiary bronchi. At the time of the autopsy, the organisms had successfully consumed the entirety of the left bronchial structure and had begun to work their way up the trachea.

SCP-3912 | safe | Item #: SCP-3912 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3912 is to be contained in a 77mm lens filter case with soft-foam packaging and placed in a standard secure locker. Access to SCP-3912 for testing requires Level security 2 clearance. Description: SCP-3912 is a 77mm Tiffen brand UV filter for camera lenses with a prominent set of fractures across the diameter of the glass. These fractures are clearly visible when looking through the viewfinder of a camera fitted with this filter. The anomalous effects of SCP-3912 manifest when an affected camera takes a picture of an object or person the user deems a threat. Incisions appear on the target, matching the superimposition of the fractures and severing along these lines, but not affecting any other objects in the frame. Development is not required; as testing has shown, this effect is produced with digital cameras as well as film cameras. Furthermore, the fractures do not appear on developed film and digital images. Subjects looking through the viewfinder report the presence of a benevolent entity looking over their shoulder. Tests consistently show thermal deviations to what the user perceives as optimal room temperature around the user whenever the effects of SCP-3912 manifest. While using SCP-3912, subjects have shown understanding of advanced and esoteric photographic concepts, regardless of previous experience. SCP-3912 was first made known to the Foundation when Hassan ██████, a famed photographer for his coverage of several military conflicts throughout the Middle East, was abducted by insurgents in Al Qa'im on ██/██/2016. Hassan survived the abduction by using SCP-3912 to neutralize eight of his captors. MTF Zulu-21 ("Desert Devils") was dispatched on ██/██/2016 to apprehend the subject and recover SCP-3912, who were both in the custody of insurgents belonging to the Al-Nursa Front along the Iraqi border. Hassan was found with multiple gunshot wounds, surrounded by ██ insurgents neutralized by the patterned incisions in the chest and neck. These incisions also affected Kevlar and bulletproof vests worn by said insurgents without tearing in the material. Hassan was taken to Site-██ to be given medical attention and interrogated on the nature and acquisition of SCP-3912. Hassan expressed concern with SCP-3912 falling into the wrong hands and freely divulged information regarding SCP-3912 (See Addendum 3912-A). Addendum: + Addendum 3912-A: Interview with Hassan ██████. - Addendum 3912-A: Interview with Hassan ██████. Interviewed: Hassan ██████ Interviewer: Task Force Commander Amr Haddad Foreword: Interview taking place at Site-██ infirmary. Subject condition unstable but conscious. Dr. Elissa was unavailable to conduct the interview. Task Force Commander Haddad is conducting the interview in her stead in light of Subject's failing condition and language barriers. Transcript is translated from Arabic. <Begin Log, [██/██/2016, 0023]> Amr: Hello, I'm Commander Haddad. I will be conducting this interview. Hassan: [wheezing] This is about the lens filter, isn't it? Amr: Yes. We have some questions we need you to answer, namely how you came into possession of the item. Hassan: This is it, isn't it? I lucked out too many times… I guess this is it then… Before… Before I give you anything… I need to know you can be trusted. Amr: I can assure you we have medical professionals working to keep you stable. Hassan: Who are you, people? I don't… see any national badge. You're one of those groups after… after the unnatural stuff… aren't you? Amr: …Yes. Hassan: Are you part of the GOC? Amr: No. Our practices focus on containment as opposed to the elimination of anomalous objects. How do you know of that organization? Hassan: They wanted to take everything from me, so I killed, and killed, and killed. You'd understand, right? She was — [sharp inhale] she… We had her in… the West Bank. Her name was Zahr, and every bit as beautiful as one. She learned to be a photographer. She wanted to capture the beauty of the world. Amr: Was she the original owner of the item? Hassan: She was killed by the IDF. A sniper — a sniper killed her during a protest. They claimed the camera was — they thought it was a gun. I should have never let her pursue that path. Amr: Can you tell me how this relates to your possession of— Hassan: That's all… all they returned to me… no ashes… no… body. Amr: The IDF? Hassan: I couldn't throw it… It was all I had of her, you know? [coughing] …They probably saw it fit to mock her like that, steal a man's only daughter and leave him nothing but a broken memento. Amr: When did you discover the item had anomalous properties? Hassan: Maybe two days after? I was angry, grieving. I wasn’t thinking straight; I just put the filter on one of her cameras and looked out the window. There was a lone IDF soldier out there, and I thought; just what if… I took the picture and he died right there, cut in half. Amr: Was this incident related to the [DATA EXPUNGED] killings? Hassan: …Yes. Amr: Were you behind the killings? Hassan: It was easy. You just stand there thinking it's not a threat, it even looks like a broken camera. I just kill you with a click. Even now. Even now I can see the justice running in crimson rivers. Veins of the deserving need their dams broken. Amr: I see. Has this effect ever happened to wild animals? Hassan: She cut the leg off a bear once… it toppled over while running and it just collapsed, bleeding out all over the place. Amr: I see. Thank you for your time. Hassan: Wait! Please… let me talk to her. Once… one last time before I die. Amr: … I'll see what I can do. <End Log> Closing Statement: Hassan ██████ was not given amnestics; delirium was noted during the interview and his condition began failing shortly after the interview. He was comatose after 10 hours and declared dead from internal bleeding and kidney failure three days later. Commander Amr Haddad was reprimanded for divulging information about the Foundation. Commander Haddad argued that divulging information to an individual who was on their deathbed was justified as it had resulted in the necessitated information. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3912" by A_Sack_Of_Potatoes, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3913 | euclid | What if a big rig truck acted like a dog? Yeah. This is a thing. Had an idea earlier today about a truck that was following a person around and ended up with a truck that misses its owner. I like it. Image source here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1979_Kenworth_W900A_by_Pimlico_Badger.jpg ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} by Doctor Cimmerian Image of SCP-3913 taken outside of anomalous vehicle bay 5 Item #: SCP-3913 Special Containment Procedures: Neither SCP-3913 nor SCP-3913-1 may be moved from their designated locations without approval from the 3913 Project Head and subsequent revision of these containment procedures. SCP-3913 is to be kept in Site-88's above-ground anomalous vehicle bay. A GPS tracking device is to be installed inside SCP-3913's cab. Obstructions between SCP-3913 and public roadways must be removable in case of an SCP-3913 breach. Manipulation of SCP-3913-1's location is the only approved method of directing and/or limiting SCP-3913's motion. SCP-3913-1 is to be kept in the cadaver preservation department on floor 3 of Site-88. During storage, SCP-3913-1 must be kept within 2.56 kilometers of SCP-3913's current location. Description: SCP-3913 is a Kenworth W900A 1979 model semi-trailer truck. If more than 2.56 kilometers from the corpse of Jedediah Phillips (hereafter referred to as SCP-3913-1) SCP-3913 will begin independent operation and move towards SCP-3913-1. SCP-3913 does not require fuel to operate in this manner. During independent operation, SCP-3913 will attempt to navigate around physical barriers between it and SCP-3913-1. If such navigation is impossible those physical barriers will be breached in order to reach SCP-3913-1. This will occur regardless of the strength or thickness of the physical barrier. SCP-3913 has also shown a capacity to cross terrain which would normally preclude navigation by non-anomalous vehicles of this type and model. Once reaching a minimum distance of 2.56 kilometers from SCP-3913-1, SCP-3913 will cease independent operation. SCP-3913's outward appearance will degrade over time without maintenance. Components required for the purpose of hauling freight and housing a driver are, however, resistant to all forms of damage. Furthermore, regardless of the degradation of SCP-3913's outward appearance, the words "Sweet Thing" are always clearly visible in at least one location on the object. SCP-3913 was owned and operated by SCP-3913-1 from 1981 to 2004. On July 5th 2004, SCP-3913-1 was diagnosed with a stage IV pancreatic adenocarcinoma. During treatment, SCP-3913 was stored approximately 2.1 kilometers from the hospital treating SCP-3913-1. Following SCP-3913-1's death on August 29th, 2004, SCP-3913-1 was moved and SCP-3913's anomalous properties were first observed. + Show Incident 95 Summary Incident 95 Summary: On December 7th, 2011 SCP-3913's mechanical systems began to operate independently, despite being within 2.56 kilometers of SCP-3913-1. SCP-3913 did not, however, attempt to breach containment during this time. Research into potential causes led to the identification of Jedediah Phillips III, one of SCP-3913-1's grandchildren. On December 6th 2011 this individual had received a commercial driver's license in the state of Alabama. This individual also performed online searches related to the purchase of a semi-trailer truck on the same day. SCP-3913's project head approved the purchase of a modern semi-trailer truck to be provided covertly to Jedediah Phillips III at a price commensurate with the individual's financial resources. Following the transfer of this item to Jedediah Phillips III, SCP-3913's behavior returned to its previously observed pattern. Keep On Trucking None |
SCP-3914 | keter | Item #: SCP-3914 Special Containment Procedures: As of the time of writing, all members of SCP-3914 remain uncontained and active. Given the considerable resources SCP-3914 has at its disposal, any operation to contain the group as a whole has been deemed infeasible. Instead, MTF Alpha-4 ("Pony Express") operatives have been embedded within Amazon.com, Inc. and are to monitor the activities of any individual involved with SCP-3914. In the event that an opportunity to capture a member of SCP-3914 should arise, MTF Psi-8 ("The Silencers") are to be deployed to detain the individual in question and transport them to Site-██ for containment and interrogation. Any anomalous object or entity created by SCP-3914 are similarly to be contained within Site-██ for further study. Given the likelihood that SCP-3914's necromantic capabilities are derived from anomalous artifacts, the retrieval and containment of these artifacts is to be considered top priority for all Foundation agents embedded within Amazon. Should any attempt be made by SCP-3914 to begin retail and distribution of its anomalous products to the public, any dispatched objects are to be intercepted by MTF Alpha-4 agents and an operation mounted by MTF Psi-8 to locate and terminate all members of SCP-3914 in order to prevent a SK-class "Broken Masquerade" event. Description: SCP-3914 is the designation given to Amazon.com, Inc.'s Board of Directors. Each individual member of SCP-3914 exhibits a unique anomalous ability, all of which exhibit properties consistent with necro-thaumatology1. Successive members of SCP-3914 have each exhibited the same ability as the member whose position they took, suggesting abilities are not naturally possessed but rather obtained as part of the process of joining SCP-3914, likely through the usage of an as-of-yet unidentified anomalous artifact. The members of SCP-3914 and their individual abilities are as follows: Designation Full Name Date Joined Anomalous Ability SCP-3914-1 Tom A. Alberg June 1996 Reanimation of recently-deceased persons, designated SCP-3914-A. Sentience is retained, but all reanimated persons are completely subservient to SCP-3914-1. All instances exhibit complete cessation of bodily functions. SCP-3914-2 Patricia Q. Stonesifer February 1997 Reanimation of human remains, regardless of age. All sentience is lost during the reanimation process, but reanimated persons, designated SCP-3914-B, remain capable of basic motor function and carry out all orders given by SCP-3914-2 to the best of their ability. SCP-3914-3 Thomas O. Ryder November 2002 Forced manifestation of Class 4 Incorporeal Entities in the image of recently-deceased persons, designated SCP-3914-C. SCP-3914-4 Jonathan J. Rubinstein December 2010 Binding of Incorporeal Entities to inanimate objects. SCP-3914-5 Jamie S. Gorelick February 2012 Shaping of biological material via mental command. SCP-3914-6 Judith A. McGrath July 2014 Currently unknown. SCP-3914-7 Wendell P. Weeks February 2016 Currently unknown. SCP-3914-8 Daniel P. Huttenlocher September 2016 Complete cessation of life via touch. SCP-3914-0 Jeffrey P. Bezos N/A None. SCP-3914-0 appears to be a SCP-3914-A instance, used by SCP-3914 as a public figurehead. The members of SCP-3914 all seem to share the same goal of financial success for Amazon.com, Inc., and make full use of their abilities to achieve this end. To date, 37 clandestine warehouses and 3 factories staffed entirely by SCP-3914-B instances have been discovered, and at least ██ more facilities are currently believed to exist. Study of SCP-3914-B instances captured during Foundation raids has shown that instances have been created from both recently-deceased persons, primarily homeless individuals or missing persons, as well as remains exhumed from multiple mass graves; Some instances show a level of decay consistent with ███ years of decomposition. Furthermore, several employees of both Amazon.com, Inc and several rival electronic commerce companies, as well as multiple politicians, law enforcement officials and other public figures, have been determined through extensive investigation to in fact be SCP-3914-A instances. It is currently believed that these instances may have contributed to the failure of several investigations into Amazon.com, Inc. regarding illegal business practices. SCP-3914 was first discovered in 20██, following the discovery of a SCP-3914-C instance bound to an Amazon-brand virtual assistant device. Originally given its own designation, subsequent investigations determined the existence of SCP-3914 and several anomalies under the control of its members, including more instances of SCP-3914-C. For its part, the members of SCP-3914 appear to be aware of the Foundation's existence, actively instructing all SCP-3914-B instances to respond violently to Foundation personnel. As of the time of writing, however, SCP-3914 has made no attempt to directly contact the Foundation, and as such is believed to be entirely hostile. Addendum-3914-A: On 18/03/██, MTF Alpha-4 Operative D. Thompson reported a brief encounter with SCP-3914-1 and SCP-3914-8 in an elevator at Amazon.com, Inc.'s headquarters in Seattle, WA. Thompson reported that the encounter only lasted a few seconds and that no words were exchanged, suggesting it was of little importance. Three months later, Thompson requested a transfer back to Site-██, citing a belief that SCP-3914 was growing suspicious of him. Thompson's request was granted, and he left Amazon.com, Inc. the following day. On 27/06/██, Thompson arrived at Site-██, and immediately triggered thaumaturgical detection systems upon entering the site's lobby. Thompson reacted violently to this, lethally wounding the site receptionist and 2 facility security officers using his standard-issue sidearm before he could be terminated. Following his successful termination, examination of Thompson's body confirmed he had undergone complete organ failure three months prior, suggesting he had been killed by SCP-3914-8 and reanimated as a SCP-3914-A instance on the day of the reported encounter. An inspection of his personal belongings revealed a sophisticated tracking device, suspected to have been produced on the orders of SCP-3914, concealed within his clothing. Following this incident, all infiltration of Amazon.com, Inc. by MTF Alpha-4 is to be halted indefinitely, with all personnel assigned to SCP-3914 to instead redirect efforts towards finding a method to contain or terminate all members of SCP-3914. Until this comes to fruition, all Site-██ staff are to be made aware that SCP-3914 is aware of the site's location and actively hostile to Foundation interests. As such, all staff should practice increased vigilance, and any evidence of potential surveillance or otherwise unusual activity should be reported to Site Director K. Ellis immediately. Addendum-3914-B: Following the event described in Addendum-3914-A, SCP-3914 has begun taking direct economic action against the Foundation. Several companies involved in supplying the Foundation with crucial parts and materials for use in equipment, including the reinforced metals used in containment chamber construction and electronic components of devices such as Scranton Reality Anchors and Kant Counters, have been purchased by Amazon.com, Inc. Furthermore, some companies have chosen to end previous contracts with the Foundation abruptly and without explanation, despite having suffered no such buyout. As such, it is currently hypothesized that members of SCP-3914 have killed and reanimated the directors of these companies as SCP-3914-A instances. Finally, several cemeteries in close proximity to Foundation sites globally have been targets of graverobbing incidents, prompting concerns that SCP-3914 may be deliberately seeking out deceased Foundation personnel to reanimate, likely either to gather further information or to affect morale amongst current Foundation personnel. Due to the strain put on Foundation resources by these economic attacks, senior staff have issued a formal request to O5 Command to purchase the remaining suppliers, bringing production directly into Foundation control and preventing any further buyouts by SCP-3914.

SCP-3915 | euclid | Marked area indicates the location of SCP-3915's tent before it was removed. Item #: SCP-3915 Special Containment Procedures: Currently, no containment procedures are necessary to contain SCP-3915 beyond standard POI monitoring. Outpost-84 is currently being maintained as an independent Foundation installation in Alaska. + Show Archived Special Containment Procedures - Hide Archived Special Containment Procedures Montague Island is to be kept as uninhabited as possible, aside from the personnel assigned to Outpost-84. Guided hunting expeditions are allowed during times when SCP-3915 is not active, to increase credibility and not draw attention to an unexpected island closure. Alongside NOAA and the Marine Conservation Alliance, a false cleanup effort has been organized, in order to disguise SCP-3915's refuse-gathering. Once per month, Foundation helicopters are to transport the collected refuse to designated processing facilities in Anchorage. Description: SCP-3915 was an anomalous humanoid residing on Montague Island, Alaska from 2012 to 2017. SCP-3915 was virtually identical to an ordinary human male except for its incorporeal nature, with any and all physical objects phasing through it completely. However, it appeared to be able to interact with the physical world at will. SCP-3915 claimed (and was later identified) to be a thirty-four-year-old man named Cees Martin from Fort Worth, Texas1. Inquiry as to the nature and origin of its anomalous ability had yielded very little information; SCP-3915 had been unwilling to go into specifics, calling it "a gift from a friend". SCP-3915's primary objective on Montague Island appeared to be refuse collection. It kept a rigid schedule, waking up at 6:00 AM, walking the coastline and picking up garbage, then returning to its tent on the peninsula northeast of Patton Bay to sleep at 8:00 PM. At 7:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 7:00 PM, it stopped for meals; it has not yet been determined where it acquired its food for said meals. On Saturday and Sunday, it refused to go further than a half-kilometer from its tent, as it claimed to be resting. Given its incorporeal nature, it was impossible to physically remove and contain SCP-3915. Efforts to persuade it to leave had been met with hostility on SCP-3915's part, as it insisted it must finish its task before it could go back home. On 13/6/13, SCP-3915 agreed to an interview with Foundation agents, in exchange for reading material and cigarettes. Interviewed: SCP-3915 Interviewer: █████ Vought Foreword: SCP-3915 requested a slice of pizza while waiting for the interviewer to arrive; this was denied, as the facility did not have any pizza on hand. <Begin Log> Mme. Vought: Evening. Mr. Martin, was it? SCP-3915: Oh, no, man, call me Cees. I'm no good with that formal stuff. Hey, you got a light? Mme. Vought: A match? (To dispatch) Hey, can I give him a match? Okay, great. [Vought hands SCP-3915 a matchbox. SCP-3915 lights its cigarette.] So, Cees, why are you in Alaska? SCP-3915: Well, to pick up the trash, obviously. What that tsunami washed over here. Thanks for the match, by the way. Mme. Vought: You're quite welcome. Which tsunami are you referring to? SCP-3915: What? The tsunami. The tsunami. The one in Japan a couple years ago. You know what I'm talking about, don't you? Mme. Vought: I remember now. And you're picking up garbage from it? SCP-3915: Yeah, dude. Bunch of shit washed over here, fucking up the environment. I figured: well, why not come and make a difference? Save the little baby penguins 'n whatever. Mme. Vought: Admirable. Why Montague Island specifically? SCP-3915: [Smiles] Before this, I've gone, camped, spent some time hunting with Mark- er, hunting deer. They've got some really pretty blacktails here. I got one once, really nice three-pointer? Oh man, that thing was gorgeous- Mme. Vought: Who's Mark? SCP-3915: [Falls silent for seven seconds] My… partner.2 I'm not real sure if he is my partner anymore, though. Mme. Vought: Why's that? SCP-3915: [Is silent for a full nine seconds] We, uh, fought. It was stupid. Shouldn't have happened. Mme. Vought: Is that why you came here? SCP-3915: …yeah. Mme. Vought: Do you plan to go back? SCP-3915: I guess. But not until all the trash gets picked up. I mean, somebody's gotta do it. <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-3915 was escorted back to its tent. Marcus G. Halen flagged as a possible person of interest. Addendum 15/10/17: On 6/10/17, SCP-3915 vanished from Montague Island, leaving its tent behind, as well as a written document that read 'gone to do what should have been done years ago'. Foundation sweeps revealed almost no garbage present on the island proper. SCP-3915 itself was found to be occupying its old residence in Fort Worth with POI Marcus G. Halen. During debriefing, it was discovered that SCP-3915 no longer had any anomalous properties. It was subsequently determined that further containment would incur unnecessary expenses, and as such it was allowed to continue living with Halen as a civilian. Both are currently under surveillance. Addendum 22/10/17: During the dismantling of SCP-3915's tent, a sheaf of papers in a sealed plastic bag was discovered under SCP-3915's air mattress. Most of the papers were blank, or filled with some type of scribble/drawing. Three, however, had coherent sentences on them. + Document 3915-A - Hide First of all, I am so sorry Mark, I'm sorry Mark, I want to say how much I [The rest of the page is filled with crudely drawn pictures of coastal birds in flight.] + Document 3915-B - Hide TO THOSE COAST GUARD DUDES okay. i know you're not coast guard. it's fine. really, it is. i couldn't care less. i regret don't regret have mixed feelings about coming here. on one hand, i get to pick up trash and save all the puffins. on the other hand, i've run away from my problems, which i know now only ferments them and makes them worse. that was a bad idea. i'll stay here until i get all the trash picked up, but not an hour minute second longer. i'll even give back that magic thing [DESTROYED]3 gave me. just leave me us me us alone after i go back home. i'm going to fix this. i swear i will, and it's not like i can do that by writing letters. i won't tell a thing to anyone. just let me be with the person i love. cees p.s. vought, those cigs you got helped me out a lot so thanks again for those + Document 3915-C - Hide Those guys don't know a damn thing about the coastguard i'm sorry. about everything. i don't even remember what we were fighting about i wish you could be here, if only to understand how very blue the sea is Footnotes 1. Of note, an individual matching this description had been reported missing less than a year prior. 2. Individual in question was later confirmed to be Marcus G.

SCP-3916 | keter | NOTICE: You are currently viewing an outdated version of this document. Please see the bottom of the page for a newer version. This is version 1 of 4, written on March 28, 2021. Item #: SCP-3916 Special Containment Procedures: One small swarm of SCP-3916 is contained in a standard biological containment cell at Site-121. It is to be fed daily with 500kg of fresh plant matter. Excess instances (past roughly 1500) are to be terminated as necessary. Any instances that escape containment are to be terminated by conventional means, such as fire or insecticide. Any personnel wishing to conduct experiments on SCP-3916 should contact its current head researcher. Wild instances of SCP-3916 should be eradicated immediately and thoroughly, unless otherwise notified. The Foundation is currently cooperating with the government of the United States of America (through the cover of LARPA, see Addendum) to capture, kill, or otherwise contain all wild SCP-3916 instances, as they have been recognized to pose a significant threat to humanity at large. MTF δ-17 "Metarhizium" is to be notified of any outstanding reports of SCP-3916. Description: SCP-3916 is a species of insect that physically resembles Chortoicetes terminifera (Australian Plague Locust). However, SCP-3916 has two anomalous traits of particular note. First, SCP-3916 eats at an alarming rate. A single instance is able to consume roughly 100g of matter per second. SCP-3916 has only been found to eat fresh plant matter. Second, SCP-3916 reproduce unusually quickly, and do so asexually. An instance of SCP-3916 will grow visually larger as it consumes more food, and after a certain size threshold, split into two instances of SCP-3916. Both new instances will be fully-formed adults. Each "cloning" takes a significant amount of consumption, currently estimated at 500g of food. However, due to its eating speed, SCP-3916 swarms grow very quickly. History: The Foundation was first made aware of the existence of SCP-3916 when a small swarm of them escaped the captivity of GoI-466 ("Wilson's Wildlife Services") in a transportation accident in Maupin, Oregon, along US Route 26. GoI-466 contacted the Foundation for assistance in containment, and the majority of the SCP-3916 instances were captured or eliminated. GoI-466 informed the Foundation of the nature of SCP-3916, and the few instances that remained uncontained were deemed to pose a significant threat. The uncontained instances of SCP-3916 spread rapidly across Oregon and into California, prompting the United States of America's government to take action, and leading to the formation of LARPA. Addendum - LARPA: Due to the nature of SCP-3916, the Foundation determined that it would be overly difficult to eliminate wild instances without alerting the general public. Thus, the Foundation contacted the USA government and negotiated the formation of LARPA (Locust Active Removal and Prevention Agency), an official government organization funded and staffed entirely by the Foundation. LARPA serves as a front through which the Foundation can openly take action against wild SCP-3916. Site-121, the current containment site of SCP-3916, has been designated as LARPA headquarters.

SCP-3917 | euclid | SCP-3917 in its inactive state. Item #: SCP-3917 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3917 is to be contained within a 30 cm by 30 cm acrylic box. The interior of the box must have a constant pressure of 0.65 atmospheres. No glass objects or electronics are permitted within 75 400 meters of the containment cell. All staff attending SCP-3917 must be free of silicon implants, glass accessories, and any other form of silicon based attire. Instances of SCP-3917-1 are to remain suspended in the hand sanitizer mixture at all times, and the levels of hand sanitizer in SCP-3917 are to be topped up every two weeks to account for evaporation. SCP-3917-2 is to remain sealed by a layer of acrylic resin indefinitely. Any materials contacting the outside surface of the resin are to be collected and incinerated. Description: SCP-3917 is a glass bottle, approximately 15 cm in height with an aluminum screw-on lid. Inside the bottle are 106 105 beetles of the species luprops tristis1 suspended in a mixture of isopropyl alcohol, amniomethyl propanol, and glycerin in a combination consistent with that of many brand name hand sanitizers. At any point, if SCP-3917 is exposed to greater than one atmospheres of pressure, the object will activate and begin exhibiting an anomalous attractive property towards any silicon based compounds. All silicon based materials that move within approximately 50 meters of SCP-3917 are immediately pulled in the direction of the bottle. Materials attracted by SCP-3917 are anchored in place upon making contact with the glass surface of the jar or another anchored material. The bond between an anchored material and SCP-3917 is extremely strong. No known methods have been successful in separating an activated SCP-3917 from an anchored object. While barriers can be used to prevent materials from anchoring to the bottle, they are not effective at reducing the attractive properties of SCP-3917. Placing SCP-3917 in a low pressure environment removes all attractive properties. Objects anchored to SCP-3917 are immediately released and lose any attraction to the bottle. Once placed in greater than one atmospheres of pressure, all anomalous properties return to SCP-3917. Addendum: SCP-3917-2 is a reanimated instance of SCP-3917-1, first collected after the events of Experiment Log #3917-2. SCP-3917-2 is a sphere with a diameter of 3.0 3.3 3.4 meters, composed of various forms of silicon based debris as well as the body of Agent [REDACTED]. SCP-3917-2 is seemingly unaffected by outside forces such as gravity and floats above the floor of its containment cell. Discovery: SCP-3917 was recovered 25/07/20██, 33 meters off the coast of ████████, Nova Scotia after residents noticed a large sand bar form and increase in height over the course of three days. At the time of recovery, SCP-3917 had acquired a shell consisting of 13.2 meters of anchored sand particles. The entire shell, including SCP-3917, was raised from the water using a freight helicopter. After approximately 30 seconds, the helicopter lost power, falling and crashing into the beach. Particles of broken glass were seen moving out of the wreckage and along the ground towards the shell. The shell continued to grow steadily for the next three hours while Foundation personnel prepared a secondary method of transportation for SCP-3917. A large dump truck was modified to carry the shell, having all glass removed from the windows. It was moved to the recovery location alongside a large crane. The shell, now well over 15 m thick, was lifted into the bed of the truck. Sand could be observed moving up the exterior of the truck and into the bed. Foundation staff were able to cover the mass of sand and glass with a large sheet of tarpaulin. It was noted that sand on the outside surface of the tarp was unable to anchor to the shell and maintained a free range of movement despite its close proximity to SCP-3917. With SCP-3917 no longer surrounded by a large source of sand, the growth of the shell greatly slowed. On the way to Site-312, the truck experienced a large change in altitude. At approximately 340 meters above sea level, SCP-3917 transitioned to an inactive state, collapsing the shell back into a loose mound of sand and debris. Agents were able to recover the inert SCP-3917 and transport it the rest of the way to Site-312 for containment without incident. It is noted that after the freight helicopter was inspected after the crash, it was found that all electronic circuit boards had fractured from exposure to SCP-3917. + Experiment Log #3917-1 - Experiment Log #3917-1 Rationale: To ascertain the source of SCP-3917's anomalous properties. Procedure: The screw on cap of SCP-3917 is removed and placed to the side. Tweezers are used to remove a single beetle, from here forth referred to as SCP-3917-1, from suspension and is placed on an acrylic platform for closer analysis. The alcohol coating the instance of SCP-3917-1 began evaporating at an expected rate. The instance of SCP-3917-1, after losing a portion of its coating began exhibiting a heightened form of silicon attraction. The instance of SCP-3917-1 is placed back into the hand sanitizer solution and the bottle is once again sealed. All anomalous properties promptly ceased upon placement of SCP-3917-1 back in suspension. Results: A total of three Foundation staff reported a loss of power in their personal computers. One of the three, a Class-2 personnel, had a pair of glasses torn from his face and smashed against the wall next to him. Several objects, including two coffee mugs, sixteen surplus computer monitors, a plant pot, a wristwatch, three wall mounted analogue clocks, and a glass cat paperweight were destroyed after being flung in the direction of the instance of SCP-3917-1. All objects were measured to be within 300 meters of SCP-3917-1. Containment procedures updated to reflect enhanced range of SCP-3917-1's attractive properties. Additional measures put in place to maintain alcohol suspension of instances of SCP-3917-1. Worth noting is that the glass bottle containing the remaining instances of SCP-3917-1 is unaffected by the attractive effect of the single separate SCP-3917-1 instance activation. Analysis: It appears that SCP-3917 gains its anomalous properties from the beetles contained within. Further analysis of SCP-3917-1 is made difficult due to lack of analogue magnification devices not containing silicon. Suspension in alcohol appears to reduce the effects of SCP-3917's anomalous properties. + Experiment Log #3917-2 - Experiment Log #3917-2 Rationale: To observe the anchoring of silicon to a fully active instance of SCP-3917-1. Procedure: Another single instance of SCP-3917-1 is removed from suspension and the alcohol coating is allowed to fully evaporate. A special built microscope using acrylic in place of glass is commissioned and the instance of SCP-3917-1 is placed under magnification. A one gram sample of sand is brought within the range of attraction allowed to make contact with SCP-3917-1. Results: Particles of sand are observed to make contact with the carapace of SCP-3917-1. Both the sand and SCP-3917-1 are lifted off the ground and begin to hover in the air. Foundation personnel are able to disable the anomalous properties of the instance of SCP-3917-1 by reducing the atmospheric pressure in the containment chamber to 0.2 atmospheres, at which point both the sand and SCP-3917-1 fall to the floor, unanchored. It is observed that SCP-3917-1 has now become animate. From here forth, the animated instance of SCP-3917-1 shall be referred to as SCP-3917-2. A secondary acrylic box is constructed for SCP-3917-2 in the same chamber as SCP-3917 and SCP-3917-2 is placed inside. Containment procedures have been updated to reflect this change. Analysis: It appears that the attraction of silicon is some anomalous biological response of the luprops tristis beetles contained within SCP-3917. Further observation of SCP-3917-2 is ordered and entomologist Dr. Rajesh is brought in to provide care to the specimen. SCP-3917-2 does not appear to require food or water, nor does it show any fear of being handled by Dr. Rajesh. Other than these properties, SCP-3917-2 behave identically to a mundane luprops tristis. + Incident Log #3917-3 - Incident Log #3917-3 Render of SCP-3917-2 based on topographical scans. No photographs can be taken due to the constant attraction of SCP-3917-2. Event Summary: Dr. Rajesh is asked to introduce a non anomalous luprops tristis specimen to SCP-3917-2. Both insects are observed to mostly ignore each other. The length of the test is extended and Dr. Rajesh is asked to feed and water the non-anomalous luprops tristis. The two luprops tristis cohabited for a total of six days together with no notable interactions, at which point the experiment is concluded. When Dr. Rajesh opens the enclosure to retrieve the mundane specimen, SCP-3917-2 takes flight, and escapes containment. Dr. Rajesh is escorted out of the containment cell and a recovery team is brought in to re-contain SCP-3917-2. At one point SCP-3917-2 flies straight towards Recovery Agent [REDACTED]'s face, where it lands. [REDACTED] begins to panic, swatting wildly at SCP-3917-2. SCP-3917-2 is crushed in the commotion. Immediately a pulse of attraction emanates from the corpse. All electronics, glass, and other silicon compounds 500 meters are drawn towards the location of SCP-3917-2 with previously unobserved speed. Site-312 experiences complete power failure and crushed silicon debris push through several layers of reinforced walls, allowing SCP-████ to breach containment. A total seventeen Foundation personnel were lost before SCP-████ could be re-contained and power could be restored to the facility. SCP-3917-2 could not be recovered and is now encased within a three meter diameter sphere of silicon debris suspended approximately 180 cm off the floor of the containment cell. Unfortunately, no efforts to remove the debris have been successful as the debris has anchored to the SCP-3917-2 specimen and completely seal it in. It is unknown as to whether SCP-3917-2 is currently reanimated. New containment procedures to prevent further anchoring to SCP-3917-2 have since been put in place. Attempts to reduce the amount of atmospheric pressure in the vicinity of SCP-3917-2 have been unsuccessful at disabling the anomalous properties of SCP-3917-2. No further experiments on SCP-3917 are to conducted. Footnotes 1. Common name "Mupli beetle" |

Continue Back to Front Page Item#: 3918 Level5 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: critical link to memo Area-0219. Special Containment Procedures: Emergency Protocol KELLOGG has been implemented: Scranton Reality Anchor Array #12 has been deployed and activated at Area-0219 to impair the effects of SCP-3918-1. The survival of SRAA #12 has been assigned top priority. Foundation Deep-Space Defense Network ELIOS has been placed under alert in anticipation for the deterrence of a high-threat anomaly. Current estimated probability of successful deterrence: 53.2%. Overseer Mandate 56991.E27 has gone into effect. As such, all personnel of essentiality rating Mauve or higher are to be immediately relocated to Site-519 in preparation for a K-Class event. All other necessary preparations for the survival of a ΦK-Class End-Of-Earth1 scenario are to occur immediately. Foundation satellites are to constantly monitor for instances of SCP-3918-1 on an impact trajectory with Earth. MTF Ξ-9110 ("Armed Nuns") are to be dispatched to neutralize these instances as they appear. Lethal force has been authorized for contact with hostile entities under its influence. All allocated resources are to be focused on the implementation of Protocol KELLOGG. Recent estimations project an immense loss of life should SCP-3918 surpass all contingencies and reach Earth. Should SCP-3918 breach the perimeter established by ELIOS, threat-level MOJAVE BLACK is to be declared, and the use of all necessary deterrents will be authorized. Currently, SCP-3918 is 768,800 km away from the nearest ELIOS installation and will make contact in █ days and ██ hours. Description: SCP-3918 is the designation for a Class-X Reality Restructuring Entity currently traveling through deep space. At its current speed and trajectory, SCP-3918 will encounter the Earth on ██████ ██, ████. Through satellite imagery, it has been observed to possess the form of a human female, albeit lacking any facial features or upper limbs. Various thaumaturgic symbols are carved into its surface, although the significance of this has yet to be determined. It has been measured to be 38,300km in height. Prior to its current designation, SCP-3918 was originally believed to be an anomalous structure that impacted the Earth's surface on April 13th, 2020 (It has since been designated as SCP-3918-1.) SCP-3918-1 is an oblong object comprised of a crystallized material approximately 8 m in height. Various signs consistent with those found on SCP-3918 mark its outside surface. Initial investigations of SCP-3918-1 were prevented by the aerosolization of undetected compounds which caused anomalous and contagious hypersexuality in members of the kingdom Animalia. The resulting high volume of sexual activity in the research team initiated an event in which SCP-3918-1 proceeded to rapidly generate pockets of reality consistent with lunar terrain and accompanying vacuums in the area, now designated as Area-0219. Scranton Reality Anchor Array #12 was then deployed to Area-0219 and was activated, preventing the continuation of the event. Following this, no other instance of SCP-3918-1 has made contact with Earth. Approximately four hours after the successful deterrence of SCP-3918-1, Foundation Deep-Space Defense Network ELIOS registered a field of temporal distortion roughly 3.5 light years away from Earth. Shortly after its discovery, hume levels surrounding the distortion dropped dramatically, leading to a destabilization of reality in the area. SCP-3918 then emerged from the distortion shortly before its instantaneous collapse and began its course to Earth. "Approach thy Moon, for SHE is the shepherd of the feeble, SHE is the healer of the sick, and SHE is the banisher of the wicked. SUBMIT to HER grace, and allow HIS completion to guide you to THEIR promised salvation. It is the only way." -Chapter XVI of the Sacred Texts As of Overseer Mandate E001.421, RAISA has been granted approval for the complete suppression of evidence of the existence of GoI-3918: "The Church of the Starved Goddess." The means of doing so have been left to the Administration's discretion. In addition, Overseer Mandate E001.421 has authorized the development of E-Class "LAST RESORT" countermeasures to the threat imposed by SCP-3918 and its following. The implications of such developments have been accepted by the Overseer Council with 7 voting in favor, 5 voting in opposition, and 1 abstaining. Current information suggests that GoI-3918 is a loosely-organized monotheistic cult estimated to possess a following of approximately 15,000 individuals. Its main objective is to prepare Earth for what it refers to as "The Day of Eternal Pleasure," in which Earth is terraformed by SCP-3918 into a state resembling the Moon, through the use of thaumaturgic energy generated by a species-wide collective sexual act. Following this "rebirth," the now-barren Earth is to be utilized in SCP-3918's construction of "Him," a separate entity whose purpose is to satisfy its desires. Translation of the church's sacred texts has confirmed the date of this occurrence to be April 13th, 2020. Further investigation into the Church of the Starved Goddess has resulted in the discovery of Uri'Arkana, a temple initially believed to be of a different origin. Several anomalous artifacts recovered from within the temple suggest that the Church has been in existence as early as 250 A.D, although no records stating its existence have been found within the surrounding cultures. Written records discovered in the temple's archives contain several references to SCP-3918 under the name "Anukeana." The Department of Linguistics has produced a translation of a section from these texts. (See Document-3918-A12.) Document-3918-A12 Showing Files: Document 3918-A12 is a section derived from a large series of texts pertaining to the supposed history of SCP-3918. In its entirety, it spans 24 "Chapters" spread over three consecutive tomes known as the Sacred Texts. This specific section is derived from Chapter VI. In the Second Rising, it was Anukeana who protested Segrasi.2 "He is the darkness." She would sing. "The darkness must be outshone by the light." And so, the Goddess conducted her work. In the early hours of the night, she crept into his chambers and laid with him. She coaxed the sin from his veins and purged it in the explosion of her own satisfaction. He was born anew into the dawn, a disciple of her Highness. She had destined him to be her voice in the East, and he was cast out to spread her word. Her Highness was restless and without fullness. A fire burned within her heart and loins, the offerings of even sub-divine men being without complete satisfaction. She yearned for something of her own status, another God, another part of her that could outlast the puny lives of those who she accepted in her chambers. Her greatness was limitless, but even it could not offer her an end to her predicament. The followers had offered their voices to her ear. Isolated, they were useless and without guidance. Collected, they could surpass even the false gods of the West. They beseeched their true goddess to unify them, to make them whole, to bring them into her breast and create what she desired most. The ultimate sacrifice was a solid commitment to their deity, and they accepted it without hesitation. She smiled upon them and granted them their wish. He was to be constructed from the Universe, although she hesitated in choosing to do so. The Universe was no longer new. She considered it to be shameful in its disregard for pleasure. If she were to bring about the embodiment of her desire, she was to clean the sin from the materials that would build him: The fiery stars and the planets tainted with sickness that would poison him… And so, the Goddess set out on her holy voyage, a mass exodus of evil and darkness, granting her grace upon those who were willing to convert without struggle… In the days proceeding the events surrounding SCP-3918-1, the Church of the Starved Goddess conducted several offenses on the Foundation, utilizing a combination of highly-advanced weaponry and thaumaturgic artifacts. To date, there have been seven recorded instances of terrorism conducted at the hands of the Church against both Foundation sites and civilian cities. Previous occurrences of similar natures are currently being investigated for connections to GoI-3918. Date of Occurrence Event Description April 14th, 2020 Foundation Server Block 0016B experienced a massive security breach that resulted in the apprehension and later corruption of several crucial files. Due to the nature of these files, further information has been classified to Level 5/3918. April 15th, 2020 Area-0219 experienced severe destabilization of its local reality caused by advanced thaumaturgic weaponry utilized by GoI-3918 combatants. The resulting destruction led to a temporary loss of containment of Area-0219 and the lives of 18 Foundation personnel. June 11th, 2020 The entire population of the city of Golden, Colorado were found naked on the surface of the Moon during a routine scanning of the lunar surface. The words "SHE TAKES THEM WHEN YOU REFUSE TO GIVE THEM" were found spray-painted on various buildings within the city. August 1st, 2020 Site-18 experienced a massive containment breach, resulting in the death of over 430 Foundation personnel. All entities have since been contained, although the location of several anomalous artifacts previously being researched there has yet to be discovered. August 2nd, 2020 84 residents of the city of Akron, Ohio spontaneously committed suicide by various means. Following their deaths, the corpses proceeded to reanimate and engage in a collective sexual act. All instances proceeded to violently combust following the conclusion of the event. October 6th, 2020 [DATA EXPUNGED.] October 8th, 2020 All records pertaining to Senior Researcher Ronald M. Sullivan were removed from Foundation servers instantaneously. Dr. Sullivan was discovered two hours later in Site-29, approximately 3,000 km from his original position in Site-21. Severe lacerations and missing portions of brain tissue resulted in his expiration. The words "ONE DOES NOT ENTER THE LIGHT ONLY TO SIN IN THE DARKNESS ONCE MORE" were found branded onto his back. An investigation is currently pending. Footnotes 1. A scenario in which Earth in its entirety can no longer support life and/or has been completely destroyed. 2. Segrasi is mentioned approximately eight times in Chapter VI alone. He appears to signify the embodiment of sin or the idea of diverging from the teachings of Anukeana. |
SCP-3919 | keter | SCP-3919-A. Item #: SCP-3919 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3919 is designated an ATEN-class memetic hazard. The full name of SCP-3919-A and access to any document in which this is recorded is restricted to a single member of Level-1 personnel at all times. Under no circumstances should any item, object, location or concept be referred to by terminology relating to the personal details of SCP-3919-A. Each instance of SCP-3919-B requires an exclusion zone of variable size, with appropriate cover stories prepared for SCP-3919-B in public spaces. Outside of controlled testing circumstances, interaction with SCP-3919-B instances should be conducted remotely, with appropriate mechanisms in place to retrieve personnel from within SCP-3919-B's area of influence in case of accident. A Foundation initiative to remove references to SCP-3919-A from public records and amnesticise civilians with knowledge of SCP-3919-A operates in the Czech Republic and international academic settings. As of 2009, all known references to SCP-3919-A in public records have been redacted, with original documents archived by the Foundation. Works by SCP-3919-A have been reattributed and ██ amnesticised individuals with previous knowledge of SCP-3919-A remain under surveillance. Description: SCP-3919 is a memetic-semantic anomalous phenomenon related to Jan ████████ (SCP-3919-A), a Czech modernist architect who lived from 1905 to 1973. While SCP-3919-A exhibited no known anomalous properties while alive, following his death an anomaly manifested in which eponymous objects, or items understood to be 'his' by multiple individuals, were converted into instances of SCP-3919-B. Instances of SCP-3919-B induce visual and auditory hallucinations in humans in their vicinity. The specifics vary between each instance but consistently reflect memorable scenes from SCP-3919-A's life. While these hallucinations are not inherently harmful, they loop continuously and prevent perception of reality at maximal intensity, making it significantly difficult for individuals to remove themselves from the area of effect. SCP-3919 was not observed until 1993, when Charles University in Prague renamed a lecture theatre in its architecture faculty the 'Jan ████████ Theatre', converting it into an instance of SCP-3919-B. While this affected a number of persons and led to Foundation intervention, this was initially thought to be an isolated anomalous location. Combined with uncertainty about SCP-3919-B activation conditions, this allowed for the creation of further SCP-3919-B instances between 1993 and 1998 until current containment procedures were implemented. The semantic component of SCP-3919 relies on common understanding. The most straightforward condition for activation of SCP-3919 and conversion of an object into an SCP-3919-B instance involves officially naming an object after SCP-3919-A and documenting this fact. This property is relatively straightforward to monitor and control. However, a significantly more dangerous activation of SCP-3919 occurs when references are made in informal usage with the understanding that they refer to SCP-3919-A and the acceptance of this between at least two persons (eg. SCP-3919-B-4). This property is not limited to buildings and has been confirmed to apply to other objects, beings and actions. Testing on abstract concepts is forbidden due to the risk of a CK-class reality restructuring scenario. A general knowledge of SCP-3919-A's identity (full name, nationality, occupation, and 20th-century existence has been found to be sufficient) is required for an individual to activate SCP-3919's anomalous properties. Beyond this, there are no known limits to the application of SCP-3919, if two individuals cooperate with one another, hence the importance of the information security procedures surrounding SCP-3919-A in the public sphere. Works by SCP-3919-A have been reattributed to other Czech architects and the academic literature altered accordingly. Amnesticisation of SCP-3919-A's personal contacts was previously standard practice but is no longer relevant as of 2014. Addendum 3919-1: Selected SCP-3919-B instances, with associated events transcribed and translated SCP-3919-B-1 Item: The Jan ████████ Theatre in the former School of Architecture building of Charles Universty in Prague Background: See above. Event Date: c. 1916 Description: SCP-3919-A, his mother Eva ████████ (PoI-39191) and father Rudolf ████████ (PoI-39192) are in the living room of their residence in Brno, SCP-3919-A's childhood home. PoI-39192 is dressed in the uniform of an Austrian Landsturm1 captain. A fourth individual, also in uniform, is waiting with a box camera. <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> PoI-39192: (laughs) No, you need to look after your mother, Jan. I won't be gone long enough for you to notice. PoI-39191: (tearful) Rudi - PoI-39192: Shh, dear. (whispering) Not in front of him. (to SCP-3919-A) Here, I have something for you. Take care of it, and remember your father when you use it. He hands SCP-3919-A a gold pocket watch. MAN: Sir, we don't have much time left. PoI-39192: Yes, yes, of course. Come, come. The three family members sit on the sofa and the other man takes their photograph. <END TRANSCRIPT> SCP-3919-B-2 SCP-3919-B-2. Item: House at 1012 Lesnická St, Smíchov-Praha Background: Designed by SCP-3919-A in 1934 and named the 'Jan ████████ House' in a 1994 city council proposal for heritage listing of buildings. Event Date: March 1936 Description: The reception of the Soviet Embassy building in Prague. SCP-3919-A is arguing with an unidentified Soviet official while holding a sheaf of papers with a photo of PoI-39192 at the front. <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> SCP-3919-A: I know you won't know who this man is. That's why I'm applying to travel. OFFICIAL: I have had many requests like this recently and I cannot approve them. Where do you plan to look for him? You know how far the Legion went in the war? You could be searching all the way to Vladivostok. It is a much bigger place than here, believe me. You cannot travel without a destination. SCP-3919-A: I know people at Moscow University. OFFICIAL: Do you have a letter of invitation from them? SCP-3919-A: They know me. I will be travelling to Moscow, I can show you a hotel telegram. OFFICIAL: I cannot approve this request. Comrade, I am trying to help you here. You can trust me when I say nobody will know this man in Moscow. You will waste a lot of time and money and find only disappointment at the end. SCP-3919-A: But what if - OFFICIAL: You want to know where he is? I can tell you. He is in an unmarked grave in Siberia, in one of a thousand graves, with a thousand other reactionaries - SCP-3919-A: How dare you - SCP-3919-A throws the papers down on the table and takes a step towards the official. OFFICIAL: (aside) Get him out of here! <END TRANSCRIPT> SCP-3919-B-3 SCP-3919-B-3, during the period of SCP-3919-A's residence. Item: Apartment 11 at 12 Dělnická St, Praha 7 Background: Home of SCP-3919-A from 1950-1952. Likely referred to as 'Jan ████████'s' residence at some point during Foundation research into SCP-3919, but no concrete details available. Event Date: January 1937 Description: A London restaurant (now defunct) in Westminster, with 8 individuals present, most identified as members of the British art and architecture community. SCP-3919-A is sitting in the center of the table. Seated beside him is notable German modernist architect Walter Gropius, previously SCP-3919-A's teacher at the Bauhaus school in Dessau in the late 1920s. <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> Background noise from attendees. GROPIUS: A moment, please, gentlemen. If you have not met him already, I would like to welcome an old student of mine, visiting us from Prague. Jan has just completed a wonderful project, I think he can show us some photographs later - yes, Max, those you saw yesterday - but I will simply toast the visit of a friend in these troubled times. To Jan! The assembled persons raise their glasses and toast. SCP-3919-A: Thank you all, for the very nice welcome. (to Gropius, in German) My English still needs some work. Your invitation was most kind. GROPIUS: (in German) The pleasure is mine. I would be willing to extend the invitation permanently, Jan. You know the situation in Europe is not good. Of course it was worse for me in Germany, but you must still be worried. If you do not come here, there is plenty of work going on in our circle in America - SCP-3919-A: (in German) Thank you for the offer, Walter, but with Karolína's pregnancy, it is simply impossible for us to travel. Things will work out. I will trust your British and American friends to look after our country. (laughs) GROPIUS: (in German) Perhaps, Jan. If things get worse, God forbid, do not forget you have friends here. <END TRANSCRIPT> SCP-3919-B-4 Item: Second basement level of Site-77 Background: Storage facility for SCP-3919 related documents from 1996-1998. Converted into an instance of SCP-3919-B in 1998, when improperly briefed staff members referred to it as the '████████ library'. Event Date: 12/03/19552 Description: SCP-3919-A's office at Charles University in Prague. SCP-3919-A sits behind a desk, with two men in long coats standing on the opposite side. <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> SCP-3919-A: The last conversation with Alex, let's see, it was about 1 week ago, and - and - his studies, yes, we talked about his studies, that was all - AGENT: Did he say what his plans were for the next week? Were you going to talk again? SCP-3919-A: Well, no, we don't arrange any times, I just see him in the cafe - AGENT: Did he make any comments about the State? Anything about his plans for defection? SCP-3919-A: No, I don't think - AGENT: Nothing at all? So, comrade, you and I are both clear on that point, that you are willing to attest your son made no anti-State comments, was a good and loyal citizen, now that he has defected? SCP-3919-A: Well - that is to say, I don't think - I mean, I - I can't recall - I can't remember exactly what he said. AGENT: You can't remember your last conversation with your own son? SCP-3919-A: I don't know. I've been very busy lately - I can't help you any more. AGENT: I see. I suggest you try to remember before we meet again, Comrade ████████. Good day to you. SCP-3919-A: Please, write to Comrade Secretary Novotný, or I can do it myself - he can vouch for me, I worked with him in the Industry Ministry - AGENT: I can ask for you, but there is something you and the Comrade Secretary have in common. As you can imagine, he is a very busy man, and unfortunately he does not recall every person he meets. <END TRANSCRIPT> SCP-3919-B-5 SCP-3919-B-5. Item: Senior Researcher Dr M. Balážová Background: Dr Balážová was converted into an instance of SCP-3919-B on 01/12/1999, projecting a hallucinatory field in a 15m radius. This was traced to a flaw in the automated system responsible for cataloguing SCP-3919 documentation, where a text string referring to the Head of SCP-3919 Research (then Dr Balážová) led to the replacement of SCP-3919 with 'Jan ████████' in a number of documents. Dr Balážová continues her Foundation employment while in containment. She is permitted contact with others via video link and receives regular counselling to mitigate the effects of long-term isolation. Event Date: 18/12/19673 Description: A basement room of the Ministry of Industry in Prague, SCP-3919-A's workplace from 1956. SCP-3919-A is sitting at his desk doing paperwork. <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> The door opens and a man enters, identified as Professor E. Krejcar, a colleague of SCP-3919-A's from Charles University. SCP-3919-A: Yes, can I help you? KREJCAR: Hello, Jan. It's been some time. SCP-3919-A: Who - Evžen, my god, it's you? I didn't recognise you. KREJCAR: Yes, well, the beard - anyway. I was in Vienna last month, and I saw this in a store, and what should be in it? Here, take a look. He hands over a photographic book titled 'Functionalism: An Austro-German-Czech Pictorial History'4, and opens it to a page where the Lesnická St house (SCP-3919-B-2) designed by SCP-3919-A is visible. KREJCAR: Then I remembered, isn't it today? Happy birthday. For you. He passes SCP-3919-A the book, who remains silent. KREJCAR: I'm sorry for interrupting you. I know it must be hard, after what happened - SCP-3919-A: Ten years, Evžen. You left me here for ten years, without a letter or call, and now you decide to show up? KREJCAR: It was the fifties, you know what it was like, Jan, we all wanted to - SCP-3919-A stands up and smiles. SCP-3919-A: It's good to see you, my friend. He holds out his arms and the two embrace. <END TRANSCRIPT> SCP-3919-B-6 Item: The action of eating a ham and cheese sandwich in Containment Cell #6 of Site-77 Background: Created as part of Foundation research to determine if SCP-3919 was applicable outside of physical objects; a protocol was designed where two research staff would reach an understanding that to 'do a Jan ████████' referred to this specific action. All individuals who perform this action now experience SCP-3919's effects. Event Date: December 1973 Description: A room in the Bulovka Hospital in Prague. A frail and emaciated SCP-3919-A is lying in a hospital bed in a four-bed ward. A member of the nursing staff is reading a chart beside the bed. <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> SCP-3919-A: Kara, are you there? SCP-3919-A: My throat hurts, Kara. Kara! NURSE: Shh, Mr ████████. Have some water. SCP-3919-A: Who are you? NURSE: I'm your nurse today, Mr ████████. SCP-3919-A sips water from a paper cup in silence for several minutes. SCP-3919-A: I feel… scattered. All that remains is bricks and stones. Just bricks and stones. SCP-3919-A: Where have I gone? What is left of me? SCP-3919-A appears visibly distressed. SCP-3919-A: Has this always been your doing? It is deserved. I was afraid - no, a coward. SCP-3919-A: Forgive me - I can't - forgive me - SCP-3919-A: I can't remember your name. <END TRANSCRIPT> SCP-3919-B-7 Item: Clay brick labelled with 'Jan ████████' Background: Implementation of standardised object for testing purposes. Event Date: June 1942 Description: SCP-3919-A's home in Prague, nighttime. SCP-3919-A is in the second-story bedroom, standing at the window and peering out on the street between the curtains. His wife, Karolína ████████ (PoI-39193), is lying in the bed behind him. An unidentified man is standing at the front door, banging on it repeatedly. <BEGIN TRANSCRIPT> MAN: Jan! Jan, are you there? SCP-3919-A watches but does not react. PoI-39193: Ugh. What time is it? SCP-3919-A does not respond. PoI-39193: Jan, who is it? Muffled shouting in German and gunshots are audible in the distance. SCP-3919-A: I don't know. MAN: Jan, for God's sake open the door! PoI-39193: You must know him. Isn't he shouting for you? SCP-3919-A: I told you, Kara, I don't know who it is. Go back to sleep. <END TRANSCRIPT> SCP-3919-B-8 Item: Clay brick labelled with 'Jan ████████' Background: As with SCP-3919-B-7. Description: No associated event, instead inducing auditory and visual loss in all persons in a 10m radius. Continued experimentation on SCP-3919 has yielded similar results. Footnotes 1. Reserve force of the Austro-Hungarian Army. 2. Identified from Czech government records relating to the StB (Státní bezpečnost), the secret police of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. 3. Determined from StB records, as with SCP-3919-B-4. 4. Copies of this book have since been removed from public circulation by the Foundation. |
