Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is a method of preparing textual content for human digestion, devleoped independently by both Ambrose Restaurants and Foundation Gastrologist Quentin Harrison and Memeticist Akio Naguri. Using complex chemical processes, SCP-XXXX allows for textual information to be made into a combination of flavors that conveys said information in gustatory form.
The methods used by Ambrose and the Foundation differ in the first stage of their preparation— while Ambrose Restaurants exclusively uses hard copies, the Harrison-Naguri method allows for the conversion of electronic texts into edible form.
The product of this process is designated SCP-XXXX-A.
SCP-XXXX-A instances are chalky solids of varying flavors. The size of an SCP-XXXX-A instance is directly proportional to the amount of information it carries— the novel Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix accounts for approximately 1700KB of data at optimal compression, which amounts to approximately 200mg of mass. Despite this, SCP-XXXX-A instances are highly flavor- and nutrient-dense, with a single SCP-XXXX-A instance providing the recommended daily nutritional content for a human adult. The only discernible difference between instances of SCP-XXXX-A made by the Foundation and Ambrose Restaurants is that Foundation-made instances have a rougher texture and tend to crumble in water before settling, while Ambrose-made SCP-XXXX-A instances dissolve completely.
Liquid versions of SCP-XXXX-A exist, but are less information efficient, due to the tendency for the liquid to stick to the inside of the container, depriving the consumer of information vital to the meal.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was formulated by Dr. Harrison and Dr. Naguri in late 2017, following Dr. Naguri publishing a paper on the potential of gustatory memetics.
Simultaneously, Ambrose Restaurants began marketing
Testing Log:
Novel: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
Source: Foundation
Flavors observed: Pepperoni pizza, beer, communion wafers, blood, sports drink.
Notes: Three minutes after consumption, subject induced vomiting by sticking their fingers down their throat, triggering their gag reflex. When questioned about their behavior, they cited the content of Chapter 52 as being 'disgusting' and 'ruining the entire experience'.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is a sapient entity constructed out of photons and electrons, typically lacking any physical or visible form. When it is visible, SCP-XXXX resembles American anti-drug and children's safety mascot Bosco B. Bittenbadger, an anthropomorphic badger clad in archetypal skateboarding attire including a helmet, safety padding, and a set of sunglasses. SCP-XXXX appears to prefer to be present on a medium such as a computer monitor or television before it takes this form, due to its matter being incapable of conducting sound without aid from speakers.
SCP-XXXX-A is a heavily degraded Video Cassette tape that originally appears to have been a copy of the Bosco B. Bittenbadger Public Service special "Bosco Gets Rad On: Marijuana", in which the character of Bosco talks to other characters about the dangers of marijuana, as understood by agencies dealing with illicit substances circa 1995. Playbacks have shown that the character of Bosco is absent, but the camera movements, music cues and reactions of the characters play out as if they were still present.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: At this time, it is believed the Foundation and Unusual Incidents Unit are the sole owners of the schematics required for manufacturing new instances of SCP-XXXX. However, at least four-hundred SCP-XXXX instances still exist and are active, albeit in various states of disrepair due to the scarcity of components and materials needed for maintenance.
Active instances of SCP-XXXX can be disabled using close-range blunt force trauma to the joints of the extremities. For a detailed guide on disabling and containing SCP-XXXX instances, consult training materials for Mobile Task Force ж-48 ("Strike-breaker Breakers").
Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a series of primitive androids first commissioned by the Pinkerton National Detective Agency1 in 1889. All SCP-XXXX instances share the same basic components, with a metal frame containing hydraulic tubing, a mechanical processor, miniature phonograph recorder, and a radio antennae meant to be concealed by a hat, with the entire frame covered by latex skin and animal hair.
The original intent of SCP-XXXX was to act as infiltration agents within various labor unions in order to act as strikebreakers, saboteurs, and informants to the Pinkerton Agency. Most instances of SCP-XXXX are designed to appear or act in a manner that impairs communication with human beings, such as mimicking various mental or physical handicaps, being programmed to speak nonsense phrases that resemble foreign languages, or being designed to be of an ethnicity that would be traditionally excluded in a group.
All SCP-XXXX instances are powered by an instance of SCP-XXXX-1-EX2 SCP-XXXX-A-EX are eighty-volt dry-cell batteries coated in sulphur, sealing the electrolytes inside and giving an extremely long battery life. Due to this, SCP-XXXX instances that were originally constructed in 1889 are still functional, albeit following a large amount of maintenance.
Timeline of Activity:
- 1886: An individual known to the Pinkertons as "Dr. John" presents a prototype version of SCP-XXXX to them in a bid to win a contract. Dr. John is arrested due to an obscure piece of legislation regarding the manufacture of 'thinking humanoid automata' and deported, with SCP-XXXX being seized as evidence.
- May 1889: Three Pinkerton agents approach American inventor Thomas Edison to reverse-engineer the prototype for a large, unknown sum. Within three months, Edison has four working models. He keeps one for himself to act as a spy on his workers within his Menlo Park laboratory, while the other three are sold to the Pinkertons.
- October 1892: Edison sets up a small factory in New York State for the production of further SCP-XXXX instances.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class:
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is the chemical mercury trineonide3. Originally a byproduct of research undertaken by the American Central Intelligence Agency's MKWANDER, SCP-XXXX cannot occur without the involvement of anomalous processes, due to the electron overcrowding of the outermost valence shell of the neon and mercury atoms under normal laboratory conditions. SCP-XXXX is mildly alkaline (pH of 7.9) and highly toxic, due to the mercury and neon content; exposure to fumes produced by SCP-XXXX has proven fatal to lab animals in under three minutes.
Despite its relatively stable pH value, SCP-XXXX has an anomalous mechanism which makes it highly destructive. When exposed to solid matter, SCP-XXXX bonds with the molecules within and overcrowds the valence shells of its component atoms, causing them to become unbonded with each other and subsequently disintegrate. This process results in the release of lethal amounts of ionizing radiation.
The original intent of MKWANDER was to create a substance that could create gold from other elements in an attempt to fund the United States and allied governments during the Cold War. An individual known under the codename RUE MARIA4 accidentally created SCP-XXXX in 'conditions of volatile reality coefficients'.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is a large mass of animal fat suspended from the ceiling of the basement of 32 West Main Street in Nx-18 (Sloth's Pit, Wisconsin)5. SCP-XXXX measures approximately 1m in diameter, and is supported by tendrils of human fat, the largest of which is half a meter long and can support a weight at least 181kg
SCP-XXXX is waxy in texture, and is pliable to the point where the introduction of sheer force or enough stretching force can result in the removal of some of its mass. SCP-XXXX gains mass at irregular intervals through an unknown mechanism (see addendum); upon reaching a mass of 181kg or higher, SCP-XXXX will break off of its main 'stem', which typically results in it bursting upon hitting the floor below. Within three days, a fatty polyp will form, and will begin regrowing.
SCP-XXXX has been universally described as smelling of offal. The source of this odor is unknown.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered following the 2013 arrest of Theodore "Ted" Mason, owner of a vegan restaurant in Sloth's Pit, Wisconsin. Dissatisfied with declining business due to possessing low-quality meat substitutes, Mason, who subscribed to the Cult of the Vegan Human6 exhumed corpses of recently deceased individuals in Superior, Wisconsin and Duluth, Minnesota who he believed were Vegans7.
Mason served these "Vegan" individuals as vegan meat alternatives at Ted's Vegan Buffet; while business improved briefly, the rancid taste complained of by customers led to Mr. Mason seeking alternatives, resulting in the abduction and attempted murder of two individuals within Sloth's Pit, including Foundation Agent Joseph Grey8, who subdued Mr. Mason.
SCP-XXXX was found during a search of the premises by the Sloth's Pit Police Department. Mr. Mason claimed that it had fallen from the ceiling and onto his head, resulting in a concussion; following this, he claimed to be able to detect Vegans, an ability which was enhanced through the ritual carving of symbols related to the Cult of the Vegan Human upon SCP-XXXX.
Of note, all persons exhumed by Mr. Mason were, at some point in their life, vegetarian or vegan.
Addendum: New Ownership of 32 West Main Street: Due to the proximity of SCP-XXXX to Site-87 (less than two kilometers away), on-site containment was deemed unnecessary; however, the building remained shuttered, outside of regular inspections.
In late 2017. Elmore Ford, a 45-year-old inhabitant of Nx-18, put in an official request to purchase 32 West Main Street from the city government, who had impounded it following Mr. Mason's arrest; Mason died during the "Black Autumn" incident, having been killed by an anomalous entity. The purchase was completed, with the caveat that the basement of 32 West Main Street be made inaccessible through a combination of memetic deterrents, removal of all accessible electrical and plumbing systems, and the introduction of two tonnes of concrete over all entrances. These terms were agreed to, with an access tunnel built by Site-87 for the purposes of removing waste from SCP-XXXX.
Addendum: Mass Food Poisoning Outbreak in Sloth's Pit, Wisconsin, July 2019: Immediately following the 4th of July (American Independence Day), several citizens of Nx-18 contracted symptoms pointing to a toxic agent in their diet, including seizures, blindness, sensitivity to light and heat, ringworm infection, necrosis of the skin and keratinous tissues, and severe heartburn. An inspection of all individuals affected found that they had all consumed meals using "Elmore's White Sauce", a variety of barbecue sauce that had been on sale Elmore's Ribs and Rye.
Foundation agents Allison Carol and Robert Tofflemire were dispatched to the premises to investigate.
Agent Tofflemire: Okay, mic's on. Wish we had a camera, though.
Agent Carol: If wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak. And besides, we can't use cameras for a 48 hour periods after the 4th of July— you know, ghost fireworks and shit?
Agent Tofflemire: Yeah, I— wait, did you just quote Firefly?
Agent Carol: Don't know what you're talking about.
Agent Tofflemire: You're smirking. She's smirking!
Agent Carol: Game face on.
A bell is heard ringing as Carol and Tofflemire enter 32 West Main Street. Conversation is heard within.
Agent Carol: Looks like food poisoning can't kill business.
Agent Tofflemire: I mean, it's either this or Berry's. Did you hear that someone found sawdust in their milkshake there?
Agent Carol: They microwave their french fries, and I once got a burger there that was gray. It wouldn't surprise me. Hey, there's Ford.
Sounds of footsteps.
Agent Carol: Mr. Ford, we're with S & C Plastics.
Agent Tofflemire: We're looking into incidents of food poisoning located to this establishment. You're aware that this restaurant sits atop an anomalous area?
Elmore Ford: Yeah, the ball of lard. You think that's what's making them sick?
Agent Carol: It's unlikely, given that it's behind several tonnes of concrete, but we'd like to inspect your kitchen all the same.
Ford: By all means.
Carol and Tofflemire enter the kitchen. Agent Carol would later note that it was sparsely occupied, with only two members of staff, who looked 'wildly uncomfortable'.
Carol: Something's got them spooked. Anything standing out to you?
Agent Tofflemire: Lotta cookbooks. Bunch of keto stuff, that's kind of surpris—Carol and Tofflemire simultaneously gag.
Agent Carol: Jack-in-the-Box Jesus, is there an exposed sewer line in here? Do none of you smell that?
Agent Tofflemire: And you said I was crazy for bringing the respirators. Here.
Agent Carol: Thanks. Seriously, though what is that?
Agent Tofflemire: It seems like it's coming from… would you describe that cabinet as 'bulging'?
Agent Carol: Grab me that ladle. I don't want to be in front of it when we open it.
Several seconds of movement. Agent Carol is heard straining as she tugs on the door of the cabinet, before it breaks open. There are several wet slapping sounds, accompanied by the sound of pouring fluid.
Agent Tofflemire: …I can smell it through the mask…
Agent Carol: Okay, uh… we are looking at what appears to be a large blob of fat, maybe… two meters in diameter. It's.. hanging from the cabinet in the kitchen here, several gouge marks on it… looks like it was cut into, and it's.. feeding directly from the wall…
Ford: Now you've gone and done it.
Agent Carol: Explain yourself. Now.
Ford: I'm using that to make my Keto Frosting! My White Sauce!
Agent Tofflemire: Keto… frost— I'm going to be sick.
Agent Carol: …what's behind that wall?
Ford: What?
Agent Carol: You idiot, this is a fatberg. You've been making your white sauce with discarded fat from the sewers, and anomalous fat at that!
A loud, wet sound of flesh impacting upon modular ceiling is heard.
Agent Carol: Oh, grand. It's sprouting tendrils now. How is the smell not bothering you?
Ford: It tastes too good to be worried about the smell.
Several more wet sounds are heard.
Agent Tofflemire: It's… ambula— ambu— it's freaking moving, Alice!
Agent Carol: I think it's just trying to find anchor points—
The sound of water rushing is heard.
Agent Carol: Yeah, no, nevermind. Living fatberg just detached itself from the wall. I fucking hate this town—
A rush of wind, followed by a loud crashing sound, is recorded. Stones fall, and civilians are heard screaming.
Agent Carol: …okay, let the record show that the ambulatory fatberg just broke through the rear wall of this establishment at approximately seventy miles an hour.
Agent Tofflemire: Can we arrest him? Please? If not for 'keto frosting', then for that.
Agent Carol: With pleasure.
Elmore Ford was subsequently arrested for several County, State, Federal and International health code violations, with Elmore's Ribs and Rye being shut down for the foreseeable future. The ambulatory mass of fat, designated SCP-XXXX-A, has been sighted throughout the woods surrounding Nx-18 at irregular intervals, and has harassed several campers in the area, all of whom self-identified as vegan. An updated containment proposal, designating 32 East Main Street as the central anomaly, has been submitted and is awaiting approval.

Item #: SCP-XXXX-EX
Object Class: Explained
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX-EX refers to a species of lizard of the Pogona genus9. An average male specimen grows up to seventeen centimeters in length and weighs 300 grams, while an average female grows up to fourteen inches and weighs 250 grams.
SCP-XXXX-EX differentiates itself from other lizards of the Pogona genus due to the fact that it can survive without a head. As a defense mechanism, SCP-XXXX-EX has been observed to auto-decapitate by placing its front legs at either side of its skull and pulling off its head, after which it feigns its death to deter predators.
Following its decapitation, SCP-XXXX-EX only displays a slight decrease in mobility and sensory awareness— while blind, decapitated SCP-XXXX-EX instances respond to audible stimuli through an unknown mechanism. While capable of surviving without food, an SCP-XXXX-EX instance can drink by sealing its larynx with an epiglottis10 and inserting its esophagus into water.
Furthermore, SCP-XXXX-EX instances that have been decapitated will regrow their head over the course of several weeks, similar to how several non-anomalous lizards are capable of regrowing tails. Following the development of the skin and skeletal structure, soft tissues such as the eyes are the last to re-grow.
SCP-XXXX-EX was discovered in early 2000, following an incident where a decapitated instance continued attacking a youth who had cut off its head. Since then, a population of over four-thousand individuals has been identified.
Addendum: Excerpts from On The Survival Mechanism and Evolution of SCP-XXXX By Hendricks, Pike, et al.
…[I]nitial dissections and vivisections proved fruitless, as the shed skulls apparently contained no cranial cavity, and the optic nerve seemed to terminate at the base of the skull. Attempts in 2001 to use the the Brukhonenko "autojektor" method to revive the heads had no reaction. Due to the fact that only a single specimen was known at the time, the Foundation did not want to risk vivisection. This changed following the discovery of a small pod of these organisms in August of 2002…
During dissection of SCP-XXXX-35, an unknown structure, yellow in color and solid to the touch, was discovered nestled between the lungs and stomach, with a pair of adjacent cartilaginous structures. This dissection went on for over two days, as the rest of the organs and tissues were removed, before it was discovered that this structure had several nerves protruding from it…
…[I]t was quickly concluded that this cavity, designated SCP-XXXX-A, was the brain case for SCP-XXXX, with the adjacent tissue structures being auxillary ears. However, to be found in such a wide-spread population (at the time, over fifty instances of various ages) raised troubling questions regarding its evolution in this manner, which shall be discussed in a later section…
To date, the three leading theories on the development of SCP-XXXX-A are as follows:
1) SCP-XXXX-A helps preserve against infections. The tongues of SCP-XXXX instances are far shorter and more rigid than other lizards of the Pogona genus, and as such, it is more difficult for an SCP-XXXX instance to clean its head in order to remove any disease-carrying insects that land upon and attempt to feed on SCP-XXXX. By auto-decapitating, it removes the risk of a potentially fatal infection.
2) SCP-XXXX-A helps or helped preserve against a predator. Most birds of prey kill using their talons, which essentially eviscerates its prey. However, if an SCP-XXX-A instance sensed danger approaching, they could auto-decapitate and leave their head, while running in the opposite direction, confusing the predator. Furthermore, SCP-████ was a craniophagic predator native to Australia, and may have preyed upon SCP-XXXX in the past prior to its extinction in 1993.
3) SCP-XXXX-A is an artificially-induced mutation. Genetic manipulation and carnomancy are both possible candidates for SCP-XXXX-A's existence, though the motives are unclear. Evidence for this includes the fact that SCP-XXXX does not factor into any aboriginal mythology, nor is any note of this species made upon initial exploration and colonization of the continent. Furthermore, SCP-XXXX-A is not present in the fossil record, despite being a bony structure that would theoretically be preserved.
Item #: SCP-XXXX

Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a pair of arithma-thaumic equations which act as a means to enforce the square-cube law on entities and objects that would normally not conform to it. Codified in Galileo Galilei's Discourses and Mathematical Demonstrations Relating to Two New Sciences, SCP-XXXX serves to limit the existence of anomalous mega- and micro-fauna to levels that do not harm consensus reality, as well as preventing the creation of anomalous megastructures such as the [REDACTED].
SCP-XXXX-1, enforcing that an object's area is squared when it is increased is expressed as:
(1)And SCP-XXXX-2, enforcing that an object's volume is cubed when it is increased, is expressed as:
(2)SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 do not exist in the manner expressed above within Galileo's original work; instead, the lack of its existence of it is noted by the character Simplicio11, and Salviati and Sagredo work to correct it. This portion, originally present in the second day of discourse, was excised by several censors in an attempt to prevent SCP-XXXX from functioning.
Galilleo's motivations for not only recording the square-cube law, but including an anomalous method of enforcement, are unknown.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-XXXX instances which have a functioning cardiovascular and system are to be kept in chemically-induced comas. SCP-XXXX instances that lack intact internal physiology are to be kept in a sealed chamber in Site-82, which is kept flooded with a cocktail of powerful gaseous sedatives, capable of penetrating the epedermis and allowing for at least some numbing of pain.
As April 9th, 2017 has since passed, it can be assumed that no further SCP-XXXX instances will manifest.
Description: SCP-XXXX currently refers to approximately 898 anomalous human beings in Foundation containment. Each SCP-XXXX instance has three common traits:
- All SCP-XXXX instances were born before or on April 9th, 2017. Currently, all SCP-XXXX instances have genetic and biographical matches to living non-anomalous individuals.
- All SCP-XXXX instances capable of communication claim to have traveled back in time from at least the year 2300; the latest-dated SCP-XXXX instance claims to originate from 2603.
- All SCP-XXXX instances possess complete immortality, but do not possess any means of anomalous regeneration. Due to hundreds of years of cellular degradation, healing is severely impeded.
Each SCP-XXXX instance has appeared at some point between 1946 and 2019, typically at a site of some historical significance, an event during which a large loss of life occurred, or both. In twenty cases, SCP-XXXX instances have been responsible for causing at least some of these casualties.
The manifestation of an SCP-XXXX instance is accompanied by a massive emission of Hawking radiation, suggesting that they are transported into the current time period using some form of Einstein-Rosen Bridge.
Addendum: Notable SCP-XXXX manifestations:
SCP-XXXX-1
Date of Manifestation: July 25th, 1946
Location of Manifestation: Bikini Atoll
Discovery: Foundation assets observing Operation Crossroads detected anomalous readings following the test. Observation of the test site revealed a large, partially-melted mass of flesh. Due to heavy irradiation, samples could not be taken until 2006. DNA testing confirms that it was human in origin, and corresponds to Dr. Adrian Nixon (b.1982), a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Classified as an extra-normal event prior to the emergence of SCP-XXXX-2.
SCP-XXXX-2
Date of Manifestation: May 30th, 1948
Location of Manifestation: The former site of Vanport, Oregon
Discovery: American military crews discovered a "very elderly, very infirm" woman had survived the flood caused by the dam bursting on the Colombia River. This individual (now known to correspond to Isabelle LaBlanc, a French citizen born in 1962) had several pieces of flesh missing, and testing found explosive residue. Communication was established in 1978, during which SCP-XXXX-2 claimed that it had been sent back in time to destroy the dam and kill herself in the process.
In 1983, the non-anomalous instance of Isabelle LaBlanc married a survivor of the Vanport flood; this marriage ended in a divorce in 1986.
SCP-XXXX-3
Date of Manifestation: June 14th, 1949
Location of Manifestation: The interior of the space capsule carrying Albert II, a Rhesus macaque sent into space by NASA in order to test the ability for primates to survive outside of the Earth's atmosphere.
Discovery: Upon parachute failure, a NASA recovery team opened the capsule to discover both the remains of Albert, and the largely liquefied body of SCP-XXXX-3. Despite the state of their body, SCP-XXXX-3 remains alive, though uncommunicative. DNA corresponds to [REDACTED], a NASA astronaut who, as of 2017, is serving on the International Space Station.
SCP-XXXX-109 through SCP-XXXX-306
Date of Manifestation: November 13th, 1970
Location of Manifestation: East Pakistan
Discovery: SCP-XXXX instances manifested en masse in the path of the Bhola cyclone, being swept up within seconds of appearance. The resulting wind speeds tore these SCP-XXXX instances into millions of disparate pieces, which were scattered as far west as Spain and as far south as northern Australia. This process appears to have caused immense amounts of pain to the SCP-XXXX instances; the exact number of SCP-XXXX instances which manifested during this time is unknown, but is currently placed at 198, based on DNA samples collected. Notably, all samples collected during this time correspond to individuals born in 1999 in the Indian subcontinent.
SCP-XXXX-469, SCP-XXXX-470, SCP-XXXX-471
Date of Manifestation: December 12th, 1973
Location of Manifestation: The Earth's Moon
Discovery: SCP-XXXX instances appeared directly underneath the Apollo 18 landing craft, and were crushed on impact, an event that was broadcast globally. As a result of Foundation actions, the Apollo 18 mission was scrubbed from public memory, and the Apollo 19 Lunar Colonization Mission was cancelled entirely. The SCP-XXXX instances were left on the moon, following the collection of samples by the crew. The DNA of the SCP-XXXX instances correspond to either the crew of Apollo 18, or their direct descendants.
SCP-XXXX-601
Date of Manifestation: October 4th, 1996
Location of Manifestation: Site-19
Discovery: SCP-XXXX-601 manifested in the midst of a containment breach involving SCP-173, managing to divert its attention by keeping its eyes closed for long enough that personnel could contain it. Despite suffering several fractures to its neck, SCP-XXXX-601 remained conscious, and an interview was able to be conducted.
Dr. Williams: So. Your DNA corresponds to… Dr. Edgar Porter?
SCP-XXXX-601: Yeah. I remember this breach, one of the worst we had back in the day. I figured I could stop it, and die in the process.
Dr. Williams: Dr. Porter… you're on level five right now, supervising re-containment of SCP-173. Where…. where are you from?
SCP-XXXX-601: The year 2462. Neptune is kind of beautiful this time of year— managed to see it before I came back here.
Dr. Williams: That would make you almost 500 years old.
SCP-XXXX-601: 500 to the day. Birthday present. Bought it myself.
Dr. Williams: Bought it?
At this point, a beeping sound is heard emitting from SCP-XXXX-601's throat.
SCP-XXXX-601: Anti-spoiler bomb. If I say too much, it'll explode and destroy my vocal chords. Shrapnel's designed to give me aphasia. I… really don't want that, seeing as I can't actually die now.
Dr. Williams: I see.
SCP-XXXX-601: But yeah. Marshall, Carter & Dark cracked time travel some time in the 2200s. Didn't make it public for almost fifty years.
Dr. Williams: Why are you coming back here, exactly? Why go into the past, only to try to kill yourself?
SCP-XXXX-601: Ever read Lovecraft?
Dr. Williams: Can't say that I have, no.
SCP-XXXX-601: Let's just say that, starting in 2017, we live in a strange aeon.
SCP-XXXX-601's throat emits another beeping sound, more rapid.
SCP-XXXX-601: Strike 2. You wouldn't deny an undying man the ability to communicate, would you? Cold not cruel and all that.
Dr. Williams: I'll have to take this up with the director. For now… well, I suppose, make yourself comfortable.
SCP-XXXX-601: All right.
SCP-XXXX-898
Date of Manifestation: October 19th, 2014
Location of Manifestation: [DATA EXPUNGED]
Discovery: SCP-XXXX-898 manifested occupying the same space occupied by O5-6, instantly killing the latter. SCP-XXXX-898 showed far greater mobility compared to previous instances, and either incapacitated or killed over 80 Foundation personnel within [DATA EXPUNGED] and critically wounding O5-4 before leaving the facility.
SCP-XXXX-898 made its way to Site-2718 over the course of a week, where it proceeded to kill over thirty on-site personnel, including Project DAMMERUNG director Timothy Chambers, as well as destroying a large amount of data related to the project. The attack resulted in Project DAMMERUNG's timeline being set back by approximately three years. Following this, Dr. Emily Young was made director.
SCP-XXXX-898 disappeared following its execution of Director Chambers, in a burst of Hawking radiation. The significance of this is unknown.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is a series of interacting anomalous phenomena that has been affecting the town of Stonks, Georgia (designated Nexus-95) since 1950. All permanent residents of Stonks are incapable of reproduction due to sterility, the town has an above-average birthrate compared to the surrounding townships in Camden County.
SCP-XXXX-A refer to several anomalous birds which have abnormal physical structure that allows them to fly while carrying payloads of at least 50kg in their beaks. SCP-XXXX-A specimens are invariably wading birds, such as storks, cranes, herons, bitterns, and in at least two cases, a flamingo. SCP-XXXX-A instances are female, in all cases.
An SCP-XXXX-A instance will appear and roost in the roof of the residence of a pair of married individuals who have agreed to conceive a child. After the completion of the nest, a pattern of behavior will occur over the course of the following nine months.
Week 1: SCP-XXXX-A lays between one and four eggs. These eggs, designated SCP-XXXX-B, several times larger than an egg from a non-anomalous specimen of a corresponding bird, usually weighing up to 20 kg.
Weeks 2-6: SCP-XXXX-A will roost atop their clutch of SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-A does not show any discomfort during this time, despite the size of the SCP-XXXX-B instances relative to their body.
Week 7-8: The shell color of the SCP-XXXX-B instance shifts to either light blue or light pink, depending on if the eventual offspring will be male or female.
Week 18: The SCP-XXXX-B instance will begin to shake. The corresponding mother will begin feeling phantom kicking in their uterus.
Week 24: A long, white strip will appear on SCP-XXXX-B. After approximately five days, the SCP-XXXX-A instance will produce a writing utensil and write a name on the SCP-XXXX-B instance, in English. This does not appear to have any impact on the eventual name of the offspring.
Week 40: SCP-XXXX-A will bundle SCP-XXXX-B in its nest and appear before the married individuals who agreed to conception of a child. SCP-XXXX-B will break open without any visible internal or external force acting upon it, revealing a human offspring; afterbirth tissue, such as the umbilical cord, placenta, and amniotic sac, are not present. Genetic testing of these offspring has shown that they are the direct descendants of the married individuals, though they typically lack a navel.
In times of emergency, the SCP-XXXX-A instance will bundle up its nest in a manner similar to swaddling cloth, take the SCP-XXXX-B instance in its beak, and fly up to twenty meters away before de-manifesting, returning once the danger has passed. This appears to pause the process of fetal growth— SCP-XXXX-B instances laid prior to Foundation intervention in Stonks hatched several months past schedule, due to the flight of all SCP-XXXX-A instances.
SCP-XXXX was discovered in 2010, due to Foundation statisticians noticing several unusual factors about Stonks, Georgia: despite the local hospital lacking a maternity ward and all births listed as having been delivered at home, there had been no recorded cases of stillbirths, premature births, or late births in Stonks, nor any complications related to childbirth in mothers.
Addendum: Relevant Data Regarding Nexus-95: Stonks, Georgia was founded in the late 1800s as a religious community, intended by the founder, Micheal Curnow, to be "Superior to New York's Bronx"— the current name of the town derives from a mis-transcription of the original name, Superior To Bronks.
Over the course of the early 20th century, Stonks developed a reputation for being a highly conservative community, even by the standards of the area at the time. Infamously, Stonks refused to recognize women's suffrage in the United States until federal and state officials intervened in 1924, which resulted in annual election monitoring into the 1950s.
On January 3rd, 1944, Alexander Curnow was born. While alive, Curnow was said to have been able to perform 'miraculous acts' on command, such as restoring sight to several blind individuals, being able to control the weather, and some measure of limited clairvoyance; currently, it is suspected that they were a Type-Green individual, inadvertently responsible for the creation of SCP-XXXX in 1950.
Until their death in 1982, they made several attempts to 'un-make' SCP-XXXX, which resulted in several evolutions of the anomaly that are no longer present. Their death, caused by a brain aneurysm, was believed to have been exacerbated by the efforts made to undo SCP-XXXX.
Originally, the designation of SCP-XXXX applied to Stonks as a whole. However, due to the events detailed in the following addenda, it has since been altered.
Addendum: First Containment of SCP-XXXX:
Item #: SCP-3xxx
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Efforts are undergoing to dismantle SCP-3xxx from within the US Government; however, due to the current presidential administration, as well as the Foundation continuing to support institutions such as the Unusual Incidents Unit and the CDC's Exomedical Unit, these may not be effective until the next administration.
Description: SCP-3xxx refers to the former Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance, a division of both the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Drug Enforcement Administration, part of the US Department of Justice. It, along with the Unusual Incidents Unit, is responsible for policing the propagation of anomalous weapons technology and pharmaceuticals within the United States and its territories. In the past, SCP-3xxx has taken down smuggling operations for drugs such as Vicarious and products of The Stuff Industries, as well as preventing the trafficking of weapons created by anomalous entities, such as SCP-2873 guidance chips.
SCP-3xxx is composed of the former agents and employees of the Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance (SCP-3xxx-01) their technology (SCP-3xxx-02) and the items that are currently within its evidence lockup (SCP-3xxx-03)
SCP-3xxx-01 instances appear to be physically human, but completely lack a central nervous system and neurological matter. SCP-3xxx-01 instances do not appear to have an organic cellular structure; instead, they appear be composed of a number of anomalous narcotics, including, but not limited to, Vicarious, Spirit Dust,12 Black Glass,13 and Bender.14 Exposure to the immediate proximity or physical contact with an SCP-3xxx-01 instance can result in the unintentional exposure to one or more anomalous chemical compounds. Thankfully, SCP-3xxx-01 instances leave the ATF headquarters at an exceptionally low rate, and public sightings outside the structure housing SCP-3XXX are rarer.
SCP-3xxx-02 instances refer to all computers within the former Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance headquarters. Prior to the manifestation of anomalous properties, all computers in the building ran on either Windows XP or Windows 7 Operating Systems; currently, SCP-3xxx-02 instances appear to run on a version of Windows 10, albeit one that is far less efficient than a non-anomalous instance. All desktop space on observed SCP-XXXX-02 instances are occupied with executable shortcuts featuring symbols and characters commonly seen as invalid characters by operating systems; cameras within the SCP-3xxx headquarters have shown that these links all lead to an Amazon Prime account homepage, whose name is in similarly garbled text..
If an individual who is not an SCP-3xxx-01 instance interacts with an SCP-3xxx-02 instance, the following actions will occur over the course of five minutes:
- 0:00-0:30: Individual will stop upon touching a component of an SCP-3xxx-02 instance and stand, shoulders slumped, staring at the screen of the SCP-3xxx-02 instance. If no screen is present, it will stare at the nearest SCP-3xxx-02 instance's screen.
- 0:30-2:00: The individual will disrobe, after which its clothing is collected by SCP-3xxx-01 instances and disposed of.
- 2:00-5:00: The individual will attempt to insert itself into the screen of the SCP-3xxx-02 instance. This entry will be unimpeded by the screen itself, but may be impeded by the dimensions of the screen, necessitating an SCP-3xxx-01 instance to sever one or more extremities. When the individual fully enters the SCP-3xxx-02 instance, the screen will flicker, and a new icon will appear.
The evidence locker of SCP-3xxx-03 is filled exclusively with SCP-3xxx-03 instances. SCP-3xxx-03 instances consist of paraphernalia and items used in the creation, consumption, and sale of anomalous narcotics. All items that SCP-3xxx had in evidence related to its investigation into anomalous weapons smuggling has been destroyed or disposed of by SCP-3xxx-01 instances, leaving only items related to anomalous narcotics.
SCP-XXXX-01 instances have been observed manufacturing anomalous narcotics with the usage of SCP-XXX-03 instances. The resulting processes have created byproducts consisting of noxious gasses that adversely affect the nervous system. No gasses have been observed outside the evidence locker where SCP-XXXX-03 instances are kept.
Observations have concluded that SCP-3xxx-01 use their own bodies to create anomalous narcotics with SCP-3xxx-03. These narcotics appear to leave the building via insertion into SCP-3xxx-02 instances, bound for an unknown destination.
Manifestation: Following the 2016 Presidential election, Foundation monitors within the Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance noted a marked change of personnel behavior. Originally, the behavior was attributed to anxiety over job security, as the then-president elect, while not having knowledge of the agencies within the United States Government that deal with anomalous activity, had notable conflicts with the Department of Justice during his campaign.
Over the course of November and December 2016, it became clear that the Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance had developed, or was developing, an intrinsic anomaly. Several members of the Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance were reported missing by their families, having not left their offices at ATF Headquarters since the night of the election. A Foundation monitor was inserted to question Anthony McKnight, director of the Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance.
Agent Miles: Mr. McKnight, sorry to trouble you on such short notice.
Director McKnight: Believe me, you're a welcome break. It's been hellish here since the 9th.
Agent Miles: If your concern is job security, then we can assure you it's not a problem; PDA15 forbids the dissolution of any US Government agency or office which deals with the paranormal.
Director McKnight: It's not just that. Something… I feel like something's cracked in here. Almost everyone was in the office that night, watching the election on TV, and… well, when it happened. McKnight sighs. Did you know that calls to the crisis hotlines spiked starting on the 10th?
Agent Miles: I'm aware, yes.
Director McKnight: A dozen outgoing calls were made from this office to various crisis hotlines— I checked the numbers a few days ago. Of course, we couldn't say anything— the gag orders16 made sure of that. McKnight shakes his head. We record everything that goes into and out of this office. And… they were screaming. Sounded like the screams from Body Snatchers— the '78 one.
Agent Miles: Several of your employees have been reported missing. I suggest you send them home. Miles passes a list of the employees in question to McKnight. Could we have those recordings? Screaming isn't usually a result of a gag order being strained.
Director McKnight: I'll have them sent to the usual place.
Agent Miles: Might not be the best idea— there was a leak a while back that we managed to garble into nonsense, but people still believe it. We've a listening post operating out of the Five Guys at L'Enfant plaza, drop it there.
Director McKnight: I'll bring 'em myself. I've needed an excuse for a burger for a while now.
The recordings delivered by Director McKnight were analyzed, and the screams recorded were found to all be from the same individual over the course of a dozen calls. These screams do not match human vocal patterns.
Seven individuals— now known to be SCP-3xxx-01 instances —were sent home. En route to their residences, over 700 residents of Washington, DC were exposed to at least one form of anomalous chemical agent. At their homes, these individuals proceeded to expose their families to the same substances, resulting in a total of 14 deaths by overdose.
An SCP-3xxx-01 instance, formerly Reggie Byers, was brought in for questioning by the Unusual Incidents Unit, who used a Foundation biohazard containment facility in the DC area to conduct their interview.
Agent Crowe: Reggie, what did you do?
Byers sits in silence.
Agent Crowe: Your wife's dead, Reggie, and your kid's critical. They're both dosed up on Black Glass and Crypto17, and Chroma18 and god knows what else.
Byers continues to sit in silence, wiping a tear from his eye. Agent Crowe addresses his superior using the speaker in the interview room.
Agent Crowe: He's crying.
Cpl. Mooney: Well, at least we know he can hear us. I don't know what the fuck to think.
Agent Crowe: His daughter said that he was acting weird when he got home. Hugged his wife and son too tight— she bugged out and went to a friend's house.
Cpl. Mooney: Smart kid. Probably saved her life. Keep pressing him.
Agent Crowe: Yes sir. Crowe resumes addressing Byers Reggie, you're facing charges of terrorism. You and the other six— hundreds are sick because of paradrugs that you put out there. Tell us what happened, and we'll try to keep the president-elect from throwing you in Hellgate.19
Byers continues crying. After approximately 30 seconds, Byers ceases respiration.
Agent Crowe: Sir? Something's wrong. I… I don't think he's breathing.
Byers begins slamming their head against the desk he's seated by. Several crystaline pieces of flesh fly off after the fourth slam. Agent Crowe, startled, flees the room through the airlock.
Byers continues slamming their head against the table for several minutes, until it spontaneously explodes, sending shards of a crystaline material around the room; the crystals match Byers's skin and hair color. Byers's body proceeds to stand up, at which point tears continue flowing out of their neck.A quasi-mortem20 examination found that Byers's body was made up entirely of crystaline structures with a layer of dermis on the exterior. Rudimentary circulatory and respiratory systems existed, but all hollow cavities in the body were filled with tears.
The other SCP-3xxx-01 instances were found to have similar anomalies; several other members of the Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance were found to have not left their headquarters. Anthony McKnight was denied entry upon attempting to return to his desk, following the delivery of the aforementioned recordings. The following excerpt is from a phone call with Agent Miles:
McKnight: I gotta be honest with you… I'm calling you because I need a ride.
Agent Miles: You're kidding. Did your brand new goddamn Benz break down on you?
McKnight: No, I-I can't get to my desk, and I left my keys there. I took the metro to get to L'Enfant.
Agent Miles: Can't get to your— what do you mean?
McKnight: There was a blockade of my agents at the door, and they all just kind of… stared at me. I felt like that if I tried to g-get through them, something bad would happen. A-and the bus lines are all shut down, taxis are down, something about a fucking chemical attack?
Agent Miles: You're… gonna want to sit down. Where are you?
Director McKnight: Lobby of the ATF building. Why?
Agent Miles: I'm gonna come get you. I'll explain as much as I can on the way.
Miles briefed McKnight on the events that had transpired; upon testing, McKnight, along with five other Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance agents who were not present in the ATF building on November 8th, and 9th, were found to be non-anomalous. These individuals have all been denied entry into the former headquarters by SCP-3xxx-01 instances.
On December 4th, 2016, a single SCP-3xxx-01 instance (formerly Agent Edward Carson) left the Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance office, and delivered a typed note to a visiting Foundation Liaison Walter Daniels, who was coordinating with the ATF on an unrelated case. Agent Carson established brief communication with the liaison.
Agent Daniels: Eddie, down on the ground.
Agent Carson: W-we're sick. We're all sick, and it wants to cure us. It wants me to cure you, but I'm not sick. I'm a pill, it wants me to be a pill. Agent Valentine begins to cry. I-I can speak, I'm the only one that can. The rest of us just make pills and send them out.
Agent Daniels: Send them out? What are you—
Agent Carson: Five tech support guys have gone missing. We did it. They're in our computers. We fed them to the Amazon. Agent Valentine coughs loudly N-no. God, please, I— I have a wife, I have kids, I—
Agent Daniels: We can get you help, we can get you to them. Just tell us—
Agent Carson: S-s-s-s-s-s-special delivery for you.
Agent Daniels: What?
At this point, Agent Carson's body disintegrated into exactly 1,333,333 60mg capsules of Atomoxetine. Under this mass of pills was a brown paper package with Amazon Prime labeling on it, including tracking data. Analysis of this data indicates that the item within the package is a form of homeopathic contraceptive; the contents were found to be an as of yet undetermined quantity of human ova whose DNA matched Agent Daniels, despite the fact that Agent Daniels is biologically male.
The Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance was placed under quarantine, with the Unusual Incidents Unit taking over its duties.
The contents of the delivered note were as follows:
the world is sick
countries cough, we have the cure
you're sick, we're sick, have a lollypop
the world is sick? we have pills.
for a cure come to
d.a.d.o.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a Caucasian male of indeterminate age with atypical reality-altering capabilities.
Like most Type-Green individuals, SCP-XXXX shows the ability to alter the shape of matter around them into new forms. However, SCP-XXXX is atypical in that it is incapable of altering the color, composition, or density of the matter it alters, and appears to be entirely incapable of creating new matter. Furthermore, SCP-XXXX cannot affect gaseous matter. However, SCP-XXXX is capable of changing the function of matter it affects— in one case, while being pursued by Foundation agents, it combined two motorcycles, parts of an electric stove, and several pieces of timber into a functioning car capable of speeds upwards of 80 kph.
Typically, matter affected by SCP-XXXX is demarcated by square or rectangular shearing. Matter that is removed in this way can be re-inserted, and will 'snap' into place if put in at the correct orientation, leaving no sign of any alteration.
Addendum: Encounters with SCP-XXXX:
July 2014: Manifestation. SCP-XXXX appeared nude in the middle of an amusement park in Billund, Denmark, and used its abilities to steal clothing from other individuals in order to clothe itself. Affected individuals noted that their clothing felt as if though it was snapped off, as opposed to being pulled or ripped. Classified as an extranormal event.
3 August 2014: SCP-XXXX is spotted in Copenhagen, using its abilities in order to repair a shattered window, first taking up pieces and forming them into uniform squares, and then re-inserting them into the pane.
9 August 2014: SCP-XXXX is discovered by Foundation forces, and is pursued through Copenhagen for several hours. At one point, SCP-XXXX dives into a canal, only to impact on the surface and run across it at high speed, erecting walls of liquid water to halt attempts to pursue.
15 August 2014: SCP-XXXX is located in Germany. They are pursued into oncoming traffic, whereupon they collide with a lorry and explode into four pieces— the head, hair, torso with arms attached, and pelvis with legs attached. Foundation agents attempting to collect the parts find them animate, with Agent Deitrich suffering a bruised jaw after SCP-XXXX's legs kicked him repeatedly, before running to rejoin with the rest of the body. SCP-XXXX was seen fleeing with their legs on backwards.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX has largely permeated Japan, making large-scale containment infeasible. Efforts are currently focused on inserting counteragents into media and merchandise aimed at Japanese children, teenagers and young adults, as well as Foundation-backed interest groups pushing for large-scale reform of Japanese work culture.
Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a virulent meme which has permeated Japanese youth culture. Specifically, SCP-XXXX is a particular arrangement of the color values #██████ (a shade of yellow), #██████ (a shade of brown), and #██████ (a shade of grey) which causes individuals under the age of sixteen who view it to lose all interest in having children, raising a family, and in extreme cases, human interaction in general.
The combination of colors in SCP-XXXX are notable due to their widespread use in Japanese media, particularly anime and manga, though it has appeared in live-action films. It is unknown how SCP-XXXX became ubiquitous in Japanese media, though Foundation researchers largely attribute it to the character ███████ from the ████████ franchise, as well as ███ ██ ████, mascot of the ██████ █████ chain.
Repeated exposure to SCP-XXXX increases the likelihood of individuals undergoing a shift in cognition, correlating in the development of an extremist view of anti-natalism21. Individuals affected in this way advocate for the extinction of humanity through the lack of reproduction, citing the declining state of the environment, international relations, economic decline, and a perceived rise in sociopathy among humanity. Approximately 75% of those affected in this manner will voluntarily undergo some sterilization procedure, such as a vasectomy or hysterectomy.
SCP-XXXX was believed to have been artificially engineered by GOI-532-JP; however, in recent years, this has been called into question.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered during the "Pokémon Shock" incident of December 16th, 1997. An episode of the Pokémon anime caused over 685 photosensitive epileptic seizures nationwide, due to several red and blue flashing lights combined with certain contemporary animation techniques. Several frames in the episode show the Pokémon "Porygon" in a non-standard color configuration, corresponding to SCP-XXXX. Of the 685 affected by the episode, 312 of them developed signs of SCP-XXXX exposure.
It is believed that SCP-XXXX's manifestation was a freak occurrence, as no animators working on the episode in question had any knowledge of memetics or anomalous color theory. However, SCP-XXXX was discovered and re-purposed by an unknown organization identifying itself as the 'Extinction Group' in late 2005; its goals are largely unknown to the Foundation, beyond calling for a 'peaceful extinction' of humanity through the cessation of reproduction.
Account of an Attempt to Prevent the Distribution of SCP-XXXX, April and May 2017: Since the original manifestation of SCP-XXXX, the Extinction Group has managed to infiltrate at least some parts of Japan's entertainment industry and disseminate SCP-XXXX to young audiences, typically through anime, manga, light novel covers, and video games.
While the Foundation and Japanese Government has largely been able to curb these efforts through a combination of legislative changes and seizure or recall of disseminated materials, during Golden Week 201722 a massive, public campaign was launched by the Extinction Group to disseminate SCP-xxxx within Kyoto, under the guise of raising awareness for the endangered status of Siberian Tigers. The following documents Foundation and Japanese Government efforts to cull the spread of SCP-XXXX.
Transcript of MTF-Zeta-6 Raid on Extinction Group Cell, April 30th 2017
«Begin Transcript»
Z6-Command: Are you in position?
Z6-1: Yes, sir.
Z6-3: Affirmative.
Z6-4: Ready to breach on your command, sir.
Z6-Command: Keep gunfire to a minimum. You could cause a panic, and that's the last thing we need when people are out drinking.
Z6-2: Yes, sir.
Z6-Command: Cameras on, and knock it down.
All four members of Z6 activate their helmet cameras. Z6-4 breaks down the rear door of small ramen restaurant, which has been used as the staging area for the Extinction Group's efforts in Kyoto.
Z6-1: Hands up! Everyone back away—
Z6-1 stops mid-command as they see that the ramen shop's kitchen, and the ramen shop itself, are empty.
Z6-2: Did they leave already? Did we spook them?
Z6-3 removes their wrist-mounted tablet computer and proceeds to access the feed of a security camera aimed at the front of the shop. The camera shows moderate activity, to be expected at a late-night ramen restaurant.
Z6-3: Something's going on. Camera out front is showing activity at the front of the shop.
Z6-Command: Your helmet cameras aren't picking up anything. Proceed with caution.
Z6-1: Yes, sir.
The Z6 team begins searching the kitchen. Z6-4 discovers a series of pamphlets in the basket of a deep fryer, containing several pamphlets which utilize SCP-XXXX in their color scheme.
Z6-4: Well, they were here. Got a bunch of the color right here.
Z6-Command: Keep five, burn the rest. And don't read them, they could be rigged.
Z6-4 chooses five pamphlets and places them in an evidence back, before producing a lighter and starting to immolate the remaining. Z6-2 attempts to enter the front of the restaurant.
Z6-2: I'm going up front.
Z6-2's camera continues to display a vacant restaurant. The camera outside shows Z6-2 walking into the frame from the kitchen, drawing the attention of the customers and staff. These are not observed on Z6-2's camera.
Z6-2: I think there's something up here.
Z6-1: Shit. Okay, fire positions, just in case.
Z6-2: I hear it growling. Do you hear that?
The television in the front of the restaurant flashes a series of colors consistent with a poorly-understood memetic "Berserker" trigger. While the camera feed does not carry the memetic effect, Z6-2— and all patrons in the restaurant— begin attacking each other at random as a result.
Z6-2: Tiger! Fucking tiger up here! Tiger!
Z6-2 fires their gun randomly, failing to injure any patrons. Z6's cameras continue to show no other individuals in the restaurant besides them.
Z6-3: We need to extract, someone grab him. There are civilians up there, I don't know what the hell they did, but we need to leave.
Z6-1 pacifies Z6-2 with a stun gun, and attempts to carry them out of the back door. The television plays a counter-meme to the "Berserker" trigger, and all patrons stand around, seemingly confused, before cleaning up scattered food and utensils and returning to their seats. New food is served before the counter-meme ends, and activity continues as if no intrusion had occurred.
It was later discovered that the rear door of this restaurant was painted a shade of blue-green that rendered cameras unable to show humanoid shapes following exposure.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-xxxx refers to a series of anomalous image and text boards which manifest on "*chan" websites24. SCP-xxxx instances are only accessible by the moderative staff on their respective *chan websites; attempting to enter the board without admin or moderator privileges, even with Foundation resources, results in total system failure of the device attempting access.
The content of each individual SCP-XXXX instance varies from website to website, and appears to have a distinct theme, based on the name of the particular board.
SCP-XXXX-1 is found on the 2channel textboard, and designated on the website as "/acedia/". As images are largely not used on 2channel, posts on SCP-XXXX-1 consist of text describing the death and current state of an individual who died of neglect, whether it be the neglect of themselves or due to the neglect of another. The vast majority of these detail the deaths of Japanese citizens, many of whom have been missing for upwards of six months.
Excerpts from SCP-XXXX-1:
Who on this site didn't die a NEET?25
>Implying that this board isn't entirely NEETs
>Implying that NEETs don't make up the entire population of hell.I just fell asleep eating Ramen and started posting here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The hell is the board's name, anyway? I remember seeing it in Persona or something.
Fucking gaijin name. Fucking gaijins probably made this board to tell us to go fuck ourselves just because we didn't 'contribute to society'. Fuck them.
SCP-XXXX-2 is found on 4chan, designated as "/superbia/". Images on here largely catalog the exploits of individuals found within the larger internet's 'incel'26 community, largely consisting of acts of violence and long, rambling rants detailing the reasons that they believe they are involuntarily celibate. This is the only board on 4chan in which posting anonymously is prohibited; all posts are made by accounts with names corresponding to members of the incel community, both living and dead. Posts with the names of dead users are accompanied by images of their last known location.
Excerpts from SCP-XXXX-2:
> Be me
> 24 & Beta AF
> Try to get a 9 to like me
> Hangs out with some Chad fuck who totally hates her
> Don't care, wanna smash
> Follow the Chad home
> Assert my dominance by pulling out my butterfly knife
> Chad calls the cops
> I stab him
> 9/10 comes home, I tell her I love her
> She stabs me in the gut
> Die a virgin
> Forever a cuck
> Forced to post my sins on a secret board for all eternity.
> All because I died to a fucking thot
At least u died a virgin
Dying doing sex is way fucking worse
SCP-XXXX-3 is found on 8chan, and is designated "/ira/". SCP-XXXX commonly reposts content that is found on other 8chan forums, particularly content related to mass shootings, suicides, and other incidents that have resulted in one or more deaths, including the death of the aggressor. Photographs of the aggressor, appearing at the moment of their death, are commonly found on this forum. Several threads are also ported from other boards such as /pol/.

Threw my controller at the TV after getting mad and telling everyone in Overwatch to kill themselves. It bounced back. IDK if I'm even dead.27
SCP-xxxx-4 is found on u18chan28, and is designated "/luxuria/". SCP-XXXX-3 contains images of both known and suspected sexual predators, living and dead, including several users of u18chan. Images of deceased individuals appear to never have been taken, and often depict them in positions in which their faces and sexual organs are being mutilated by metal tools that appear to be burning white hot.
Three further boards— /avaricia/, /gula/ and /invidia/— are known to exist on other image and textboards, but have not been located. It is believed that /gula/ is located somewhere on the Sarknet29 , possibly on 128chan30.
Interview XXXX-A: James Benson, a twenty-seven-year-old male from England, was sent into a coma following a video game controller bouncing off of their television screen and embedding itself in their head. They were clinically dead for approximately three minutes, and were rendered comatose for a further six months. Due to these circumstances corresponding to a post on SCP-XXXX-3, they were acquired for an interview.
Mr. Benson: W-who are you? What the fuck is this? Am-am I back? Am I back there?
Agent Whitman: Back… where?
Mr. Benson: God, I tried to forget. When I was in a coma, I… I was in a blank, white room, like this. There was a computer on the desk, with an old monitor, and a sticky note on it. It said "One year off per post."
Agent Whitman: Per post on… 8chan?
Mr. Benson: Yeah. I never use that site, I've heard of it. There was a counter in the upper-right corner of the screen, and it displayed the number of years I had left there. It- it was pretty small, only… like, 80? That's not much in the grand scheme of things.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Personnel who read the following documentation and experience symptoms including nosebleeds, blood vessels within eyes bursting, headaches, dizziness, and nausea are to read addendum SCP-XXXX-15.
Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a 29-year-old female human of Greek descent. SCP-XXXX has unremarkable medical and personal history, outside of a skin cancer diagnosis in 2009.
SCP-XXXX may or may not possess some form of veritakinesis31 which SCP-XXXX claims causes statements they made during or immediately after a fugue state they may or may not enter to be regarded as false. SCP-XXXX does not possess full control over this anomaly, assuming that the anomaly exists and that they possess any control over it.
Evidence for the existence of SCP-XXXX's includes the fact that the statements that they make regarding easily-verifiable details (such as the existence of hydrogen, the name of the current president of the United States, and the weather in the immediate proximity) are immediately regarded as false, despite knowledge to the contrary.
Evidence against the existence of SCP-XXXX's anomaly includes the fact that the apparent fugue state they enter has not been observed to begin or end, and attempting to induce or monitor it has resulted in failure.
SCP-XXXX's anomaly is amplified through a recorded medium, as is evidenced by the existence of SCP-XXXX-A. SCP-XXXX-A refers to the currently defunct horror anthology audio drama "Cassandra Has a Podcast", hosted by SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX claims that it attempted to document actual obscure anomalous phenomena, but upon discovering that all who heard it regarded the stories as fictional,
Item #: SCP-xxxx
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-A is contained in a standard anomalous electronics containment locker at Site-29. On a monthly basis, inspections will be done to clean SCP-XXXX-A, and check for damage. In the event of damage to the casing, the circuitry within SCP-XXXX-A is to be placed into an empty Atari 2600 cartridge.
SCP-XXXX-B items are stored in a climate-controlled storage locker in Site-29. All interactions with SCP-XXXX-B's paper components are to be carried out wearing protective equipment, including acid-free gloves and a dusk mask, preferably in a low-light environment.
Testing with SCP-XXXX is to be carried out on a bi-monthly basis, using one of Site-29's Atari 2600 game consoles in a low-light environment, to prevent damage to SCP-XXXX-B's paper components.
Description: SCP-xxxx refers to an apparently genuine cartridge and associated paraphernalia for the unreleased video game SwordQuest: Airworld. SCP-XXXX-A refers to the game cartridge itself, while SCP-XXXX-B refers to several marketing materials meant to be used in conjunction with the cartridge, including:
- A 64-page comic magazine drawn in a style typical of contemporary 'Sword and Sorcery' comics; no writers or artists are credited.
- A piece of polarized plastic intended for finding messages in said magazine (referred to as a 'magic lens' within the comic)
- A simplified summary of the I Ching, as well as the instructions for employing the "Three-Coin Method" of I Ching divination.
- A plastic decoder wheel styled after a Taijitu.32 The purpose of this item is unclear, as no element that can interact with the decoder wheel is present.
The game found on SCP-XXXX-A is similar in gameplay to the other games in the SwordQuest series. Players control a character through a series of semi-randomized rooms modeled after a concept commonly found in occult literature (in this case, the I Ching)33 in order to decode a message present in the included comic book to be sent to Atari as part of the SwordQuest contest.34
SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties manifest when it SCP-XXXX-A is played and used in conjunction with the comic book from SCP-XXXX-B. The puzzles found within SCP-XXXX-A will generate random hexagrams directing the player to look at one of the sixty-four pages in the book, as well as a trigram directing towards a specific panel of that page. In this panel, the polarized plastic lens must be used to discover a word hidden within the artwork, making up an eight-word phrase. The content of this phrase varies between players, but describes an event which will occur within five years of the message being decoded.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX appeared in an online auction in 2014, and was bought by William Storm, a resident of Wildwood, New Jersey. Storm is a noted collector of rare video games, and was the subject of controversy in Late 2009, where he was accused of buying and then destroying first-edition copies of Pauper: Rise of the Monster King in order to artificially inflate its rarity and value.
Storm started a Twitter thread with the intent to "Live-Tweet" their experience with SCP-XXXX on their first playthrough. Excerpts from this thread are below.

Six weeks after this series of tweets, a flash flood occurred in the greater Cape May micropolitan area, of which Wildwood is part of. At the time, Mr. Storm was in New York, having several games appraised. A large part of his collection was destroyed as a result of the flooding; due to an insurance policy taken out by Mr. Storm two weeks prior, they received a large settlement.

Item:#: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a large animal of unknown genus whose body makes up the entirety of Locust Lane, a street in [REDACTED], Illinois, including all housing, water fixtures, and sediment up to five meters below the surface of its "skin".
SCP-XXXX's biological matter is highly malleable and changeable, reacting to stimuli in a variety of anomalous manners; structures resembling copper wiring will form if exposed to an electrical current, the introduction of plant seeds will result in the immediate germination of them within its skin, and rapid ossification as a result of contact with steel. The 'bones' of SCP-XXXX have a texture identical to stucco.
SCP-XXXX is an opportunistic carnivore, and can form jawless mouths on its dorsal side to swallow food, which is then digested in one of ten stomachs. These mouths cannot open to more than fifty centimeters, which prohibits the size of food it can intake. Analysis of SCP-XXXX's fecal matter has shown evidence that it has consumed thousands moles, rabbits, cats, and small dogs over the course of its existence. SCP-XXXX cannot form these mouths on inert matter, such as the bone-like structures that make up all houses.
Prolonged study has proven inconclusive as to the exact nature of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX possesses female reproductive organs, as is evidenced by the irregularly laying of unfertilized eggs; whether it possesses male genitalia is currently unclear.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered while monitoring the town of [REDACTED] for additional anomalies following the initial containment of SCP-███ on farmland within the town's corporation limit. Foundation agents found that the area surrounding Locust Lane was almost entirely devoid of animal life, and that all residents living on SCP-XXXX either did not own pets, or did not let their pets outdoors due to Locust Lane having a large amount of animal disappearances. A recording provided by a teenaged resident of 27 Locust Lane showed SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties, when it attempted to swallow a small flock of birds that the family's cat had been observing.
Foundation researchers introduced a colony of moles into the Locust Lane neighborhood, and observed that most of the population was consumed by SCP-XXXX within four days. However, the Foundation's continued surveillance drew the attention of the Neighborhood Watch Association, who subsequently obstructed all investigation.
Architectual Zoologist Dr. Arthur Pender and Field Agent Amanda Crocker volunteered to be inserted into the Locust Lane neighborhood as members of the general population to survey the area. Assorted accounts are included below.
First Audio Log of Dr. Arthur Pender, March 2003
Dr. Pender: I can confirm the preliminary observations made by field agents. Despite having the appearance of stucco, the walls of the house we reside in at 25 Locust Lane, and possibly all other houses here, are… well, I can't exactly call them organic. Whatever this organism is, it's alive, but it seems to be silicon-based. The lab's set up in the basement— here's hoping it's well-ventilated.
Agent Crocker is insisting that I learn how to fire a weapon. There's a local gun club near here that she's going to take me to tomorrow. I hate guns, but whoever is manipulating the flesh of this creature is doing so maliciously. Her working theory is that this is some kind of Sarkic entity, but I disagree.
One moment.[Recording Pauses, and then Resumes]
The neighbors stopped by. Gave us some ambrosia salad, invited us to a cookout. I'm not a terribly large fan of this cover. On the other hand, I have been craving hamburgers lately.
End recording.
Transcript of Audio Feed from a barbecue attended by Crocker and Pender
Lukas █████:36 So, Artie—
Dr. Pender: Arthur, please.
Lukas: What d'ya do?
Dr. Pender: I'm a zoologist, actually. I work with the University of Illinois— we were out here investigating out of place animals. I moved in here to be a little closer to work.
Lukas: Like the gator that people were saying was in town last month?
Dr. Pender: Precisely.
Lukas: What about her, eh? Your wife's a real looker.
[Dr. Pender's tone is obviously uncomfortable as he speaks.]
Dr. Pender: She was a medic during Desert Storm. She doesn't really like to talk about it.
Lukas: Fair enough. How well-done do you like your burgers?
Dr. Pender: To medium, please.
[Irrelevant Data has been extracted. Transcription resumes upon noticeable anomalous occurrence.]
Dr. Pender: I have to wonder, a nice neighborhood like this— why no dogs?
Lukas: We have a bad habit of pe—
[Lukas's audio is drowned out by a low, rumbling bellow originating from SCP-XXXX]
Dr. Pender: What was that?
Lukas: We actually live on top of a cave system— sometimes air passes through it, and it makes noises like… well, that.
Dr. Pender: Hmm. Bad habit of pets what?
Lukas: Pets disappearing. Most of us own indoor cats, now. Sometimes sinkholes open up, and they just van—
[Audio recording ends, and is resumed approximately two hours later.]Agent Crocker: —bumped your fucking mic and turned it off, how uncoordinated can you be? Okay, it's back on.
Dr. Pender: And missing some data, I imagine. Probably best that it didn't record what happened to that poor raccoon on the way back.
Agent Crocker: So, from the looks of it, it's a carnivore.
Dr. Pender: It doesn't eat humans, and they don't let their pets out because of it. I can't imagine that it's getting very much nutrition. Whatever it is.
Agent Crocker: Yeah. And if all of the houses on this block are made from it… what happens if it starves to death?
Dr. Pender: Well, as far as I can tell, what we have here are bones, so they should stand. I can't say much about the structural integrity of the rest of the neighborhood, however.
Agent Crocker: What about the road?
Dr. Pender: What about the road, indeed. We'll inspect that some time in the next two days.
[Recording Ends]
Transcript of a Video Recording made by Agent Crocker
[Crocker is standing atop an uneven segment of sidewalk, late at night; recording device is a tripod-mounted night vision camera. Three adjoining pieces of pavement seem to bulge upwards.]
Crocker: This is the most isolated part of the neighborhood I can find. As you can see as I walk on it… [Crocker shifts her weight. The bulging mass beneath seems to move.] the ground beneath me isn't solid. We noticed it this morning, and Dr. Pender has given me a syringe to try to extract a sample, because he thinks it's organic.
[Crocker produces a large syringe and inserts it between cracks in the pavement. After she removes the sample, the bulge abruptly starts to deflate.]
Crocker: Whoah, shit!
[Crocker falls off the mass as fluid (later stated to be white and yellow in color by Agent Crocker) is discharged from between the paving stones. SCP-XXXX vibrates; analysis of audio detects several loud infrasonic noises, possibly SCP-XXXX bellowing in pain.]
[Crocker approaches the fluid, putting on a glove and noting the consistency. Visibly disgusted, she turns to the camera.]
Crocker: Puberty hit me like a truck. I'd recognize this anywhere— it's pus. I… think I just popped a pimple.
[Agent Crocker rises and terminates the recording.]
Recording of Dr. Prender's findings on the apparent pus sample
I've advised Crocker to start on a course of antibiotics, and for her to update her teatnus shot. As she stated, this is indeed a sample of pus. I've seen a few more of these pop as cars drive over them. I don't think anyone knows what they're living on top of, apparently they think that these are 'gas pockets'.
The pus contained several forms of arcahea37 that are relatively harmless to humans, but they seem to be the cause of its acne.
I feel sorry for the poor thing. A lot of zoologists form bonds to the animals they study, it's only natural. And despite the fact that most of the animals I study either mimic or are buildings, the same is true for myself. I'm doing my part to make it a little more comfortable. I realize it's a breach of guidelines, but I'll gladly be reprimanded for it.
Item #: SCP-3xxx
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The IP address at which SCP-3xxx may be accessed from has been blocked from all public IP addresses, with programs in place that cause most browsers to fail or display messages associated with malware detection on the website. Attempting to bypass this warning will infect the device attempting to access SCP-3xxx with a Foundation-engineered malware, which will cause a hard reset on each subsequent attempt to access the website.
Currently, twenty-nine Foundation staff employed at Site-21 are part of the Fortland Credit program, and are to complete tasks that will earn them further Fortland Credits at their leisure. Should the required activities show any abnormalities, they are to be reported to Dr. Lun immediately.
Purchases of SCP-3xxx-1 instances are to be made for testing purposes during special promotions advertised on SCP-3xxx. Under no circumstances are personnel permitted to purchase SCP-3xxx-1 instances for personal use.
Description: SCP-3xxx refers to a web address at [REDACTED].com, which claims to be under the sole ownership of Sweeny-Wilson Games since 2005; this corporation does not exist. When accessed without having registered for the website, SCP-3XXX simply appears to be a marketing website for Sweeny-Wilson Games, and lists several non-existent video game titles, including:
- Call of Cthulhu: Arkham is Sinking
- Quantum Bureau
- Borderworlds 3
- Fortland
The primary focus of SCP-3xxx is on the marketing of the Fortland game, which appears to be in the Battle Royale genre. While none of the games listed can be purchased from SCP-3xxx, it can be used to purchase instances of SCP-3xxx-1.
SCP-3xxx-1 refers to anomalous pinatas of varying appearance. Despite the largest SCP-3xxx-1 instance having a surface area of 4.6m2, they are capable of containing items that exceed the interior dimensions by a large magnitude.
SCP-3xxx-1 instances can be obtained from SCP-3xxx in one of two ways: either registering oneself for the "Fortland Credit" merit program, which rewards points for completion of various, seemingly arbitrary tasks that vary from individual to individual. 2500 points may be exchanged for a single SCP-3xxx-1 instance. The second method of acquisition is paying a price in US Dollars to receive up to 100 instances of SCP-3xxx-1 at a time. The prices range from two instances of SCP-3xxx for 200USD to 100 for 15,000USD. When earned or bought, the SCP-3xxx-1 instance will materialize within 5m of the individual who ordered it over the course of approximately ten seconds. Following this, they must be broken open using a blunt instrument.
The contents of the SCP-3xxx-1 instances are non-anomalous, but vary wildly. All items are stamped with the Sweeny-Wilson Industries logo in one of seven colors, indicating the quality of the item, from grey (lowest quality), blue, yellow, pink, red and gold (highest quality) and black (anomalous quality). The most common inclusions are:
- Seeds, including corn, wheat and tomato seeds; seeds have only germinated in 2.5% of cases. Gray rating only.
- Bottles of potable water. Gray rating or higher.
- Clothing, with the exact make appearing to vary depending on the current climate; winter clothing and insulated shoes were dispensed when SCP-XXXX instances were ordered in the winter, while warm-weather camouflage wear was delivered in the middle of a heatwave. Grey rating or higher, with the quality increasing the higher the rating.
- Reading material, usually in the form of propaganda promoting Sweeny-Wilson Industries, printed on edible paper. Gray rating or higher.
- Tinderboxes, matches and other firemaking equipment. Gray rating or higher.
- MRE Packets, containing large amounts of protein and sodium, as well as an opioid cocktail, which triggers an addiction response. Gray rating or higher.* First aid materials, evidently meant for treating gunshot and animal wounds, as well as radiation poisoning. Blue rating or higher.
- Various bladed or blunt instruments, such as sledgehammers and carving knives, evidently meant for use as weapons. Blue rating or higher; the lower the rating, the more fragile the implement.
- Antibiotic medications, including amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and [REDACTED], an experimental antibiotic currently under development by the pharmaceutical company ██████. Pink rating or higher.
- Firearms, ranging from pistols to automatic rifles; in one case, an SCP-3xxx-1 instance produced an RPG-7 launcher, which was rendered non-functional after a single firing and could not be repaired. Gold rating only.
Most instances of SCP-3xxx-1 contain five items. During the "Ka-Garou's Howl" promotional Halloween event, an instance of SCP-3xxx-1 contained a full werewolf costume as a sixth item, which was bore a unique black rarity. Agent Morales, who earned the SCP-3xxx-1 instance in question, has been transferred to Mobile Task Force Phi-87 ("Legend Tripping") following her exposure to the item.
Addendum: Fortland Credit Task List:
The following tasks have appeared on the Fortland Credit Program task list, as achievements that can be completed to earn Fortland Credits. It should be noted that an SCP-3xxx-1 instance is approximately 2,000 credits per box.

Item #: SCP-xxxx
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-xxxx refers to the tendency for natural structures, organisms, phenomena, and sheer coincidence to form memetic hazards. The process by which these memetic structures form is currently unclear, as all known memes created by SCP-xxxx only affect human beings, and the structures and phenomena in which they are observed would have to have been formed over the course of hundreds to millions of years.
84% of SCP-xxxx instances are benign, usually imbuing a sense of fear in individuals who view them, causing them to vacate the area. The remaining 16%, however, are a consistent, unidentified memetic kill agent, designated SCP-xxxx-A. SCP-xxxx-A forms the basis for
Since the 1000s, it is believed that there have been over 5,000 instances of memetic hazards created by SCP-xxxx.
| SCP-xxxx Instance | Date of Manifestation | SCP-xxxx-A | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCP-xxxx-01 | January 9th, 1772 | No | First known instance of SCP-xxxx, taking the form of what is described as "unnatural spirals in the snow" formed by snow in London. Several people, including the anonymous author, fell unconscious upon observing the spirals. | Similar events occurred in 1792 and 1799. |

| SCP-xxxx-4392 | cell-content cell-content | A diary entry from a missionary in the Congo reads: "The queerest thing happened this past night— I awoke to the rain falling in a peculiar manner, almost musically. It gave everyone in the camp fits— I couldn't stand up until the rain stopped.

Item #: SCP-xxxx
Object Class: Euclid Unexplained
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-xxxx refers to an anomalous phenomenon affecting individuals stationed at Foundation Aquatic Site-01. Individuals affected by SCP-xxxx express an urge to go downwards from their current location, typically past the [blackbox] ridge on which AS-01 is located.
Originally attributed to a psychological phenomenon manifesting as the result of extended isolation, SCP-xxxx was classified as anomalous following the disappearance of Site Director Robert Tsumeragi in August of 2018. In order to better study the anomaly, AS-01's current staff were left in relative isolation at their current location.
AS-01 Abridged Dossier:
Foundation Aquatic Site-01 is a prototype research site designed with several objectives in mind.
- Establish a base for long-term study and containment of aquatic and nautical anomalies
- Establish a habitat for researchers and other personnel conducting these studies
- Perform research into the effects of long-term isolation
- Test Foundation equipment designed for deep-sea exploration and containment
- Test effectiveness of waste recycling systems as a supplement to normal nutritional intake
AS-01 is located at [COORDINATES REDACTED] at approximately 500m below sea level, primarily using energy from geothermal vents in the area. Its facilities and features include:
- Fourteen personnel cabins (four unoccupied as of the emergence of SCP-4xxx)
- A panoptic observatory made with 10cm thick shatter-resistant glass
- Sonar with a 10km range
- An infirmary with an electronic assistant ("Doc") to aid in advanced medical procedures, usable even by inexperienced personnel.
- Three filtration and desalination stations
- Two galleys
- A waterless fire suppression system
- Three primary airlocks for egress and ingress into the site
- Six pressurized escape pods, capable of holding up to three people. These pods can be loaded onto several SCPS ships patrolling the area around AS-01 to act as decompression chambers.
Item #: SCP-2722
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-2722 refers to an irregularly-shaped space station of unknown origin currently orbiting Titan, the largest moon of the planet Saturn. SCP-2722's external dimensions are approximately 200km x 50km x 70. However, the interior of SCP-2722 uses Augustine Non-Euclidian Stabilization Engines50, allowing its dimensions to far exceed that of the exterior. The hull of SCP-2722 is made up of an iridium-titanium-beryllium alloy, and 90% of the ship is covered with a single word, written in over five-hundred languages: "Solidarity".
SCP-2722 appears to be an amalgam of at least seventy-three different space-faring craft and space stations; of these, fifteen of the craft and twelve of the stations are identical. The Augustine Non-Euclidian Stabilization Engines aid SCP-2722 in maintaining its cohesion, as exploration has indicated that the disparate parts of SCP-2722 are joined not through welding or other joining techniques, but through violation of the Pauli exclusion principle.
SCP-2722-A refers to the anomalous technology and items present on SCP-2722. Several instances of SCP-2722-A are branded with a Foundation seal, or else are known to be made by the Foundation in the baseline universe. These include:
- SCP-2722-A-18: A terminal containing the defunct Foundation AI "CROM".
- SCP-2722-A-21: Several unreleased albums by the Shattered Deus, a music group affiliated with the Church of the Broken God.
- SCP-2722-A-55: A large-scale Kant counter, which has been adjusted to account for the Hume levels present on SCP-2722.
- SCP-2722-A-91: A functional Bailey-King Multi-Universal Transit Array; however, documentation refers to it as a King-Bailey Transit Array.
- SCP-2722-A-103: A recreational room using anti-gravity technology salvaged from a Foundation HALO facility, as well as the remains of a ship known as Combat Zeppelin Orichalcum.
The four pieces of anomalous technology on the station that are of greatest concern are as follows.
SCP-2722-A-1 refers to the entrances to SCP-2722. SCP-2722-A are small iridium cubes that, when thrown on a surface after speaking a pass phrase, will open a two-way wormhole into the main common area of SCP-2722. The pass phrase, engraved on the cubes, reads as such:
As long as there are stars in our skies, evermore shall the Solidarity rise.
SCP-2722-A-2 refers to a techno-organic Non-Turing Positive Artificial Intelligence which refers to itself as "Solidarność"51. SCP-2722-A-2 claims to have been built by Foundation AI specialist Dr. Fryderyk Nowak in 196252, and is largely compliant to the Foundation. However, several hundred terabytes of data stored on SCP-2722 remain inaccessible due to permissions being reserved for personnel from specific universes.
SCP-2772-A-2's main CPU is organic in nature, approximately 20 meters in diameter, made up of artificial brain and cardiovascular matter. At least twenty-one implants of unclear function exist on SCP-2722-A-2's CPU, apparently acting as 'personality cores' which allow it to exhibit empathy, creativity, and increased cognitive capacity.
SCP-2722-A-3 is an organism which SCP-2722-A-2 refers to as "Jumpy". SCP-2722-A-3 is a nonapodal53 extraterrestrial organism with a cylindrical body, largely blue in color, possessing a simple jawed mouth and non-centralized cardiovascular and nervous systems, with five hindlimbs and four forelimbs. SCP-2722-A-3 does not appear to be sapient, but has a generally friendly temperament.
SCP-2722-A-3 has the ability to enclose a space of at least 600km2 within a field of unstable space-time, which can then be controlled by SCP-2722-A-2. If used in conjunction with the ion thrusters present on SCP-2722, it is capable of propelling SCP-2722 at Faster-Than-Light speeds. If used in conjunction with the aforementioned Bailey-King MUTA, SCP-2722-A-3 is capable of crossing universal boundaries.
SCP-2722-A-4 is an object SCP-2722-A-2 refers to as the "Crew Manifest". SCP-2722-A-4 is a large book with vellum pages, bound in leather which appears to be made from a large monitor lizard similar to a Komodo dragon.
When an individual writes their name on SCP-2722-A-4, a notation will appear by their name, indicating what role they serve in the crew and their current status. Foundation personnel that have signed their name in SCP-2722-A-4 have their roles listed as their stations in the Foundation, and their status as "Active". All other personnel, with the exception of SCP-2722-B instances, are listed as either "Lost", "MIA" or, "Void".
Greetings to you, our counterparts from somewhere. We are sure that you should be as bewildered as we were to discover this artifact and get an idea of its purpose. Without a doubt, you may be suspicious of your origins, as we were, and rightly so. The universe is a dangerous place, since we are sure that it knows very well.
We are not sure where this great ship originated. Nor do we know who our predecessors were who passed the ship to us, or those who preceded them. The little we know is this; the ship Solidarity only appears in those realities in which there is an organization to preserve normality and to prevent the balance of power on your planet from being interrupted. As far as we know there is only one Solidarity ship, and it has changed hands and forms innumerable times.
It appeared in our universe a long time ago, and was ignored until such time as we are facing a great threat from beyond the confines of our solar system. Whether this threat was attracted to the ship, we can not be sure, but it was enough to preserve the stability of our people and ensure our survival. We were forced to modify the ship to suit our needs, as many before us obviously, and it worked beyond all expectations. At the time of writing this message, it is increasingly evident that the ship, no longer in need, will soon depart from this universe; our understanding is limited, but that is clear.
So, then, for you, whoever you want us to be, the people of Earth, and the Sixth Echelon of the Foundation for the Suppression of Anomalies, we wish you luck in all your future projects. We finish this message by reminding them of what was reminded in the message we received; No matter the distance or the gulf of time between us, whenever we try to preserve our existence we are never really alone.

Item #: SCP-3xxx
Object Class: Keter Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: Institutions involved in the fields of aerospace and particle physics are to be monitored for signs of SCP-3xxx attacks. Following any major attack made on an organization such as these, Foundation investigative teams equipped with radiocarbon dating equipment are to be dispatched to test for evidence of the usage of weapons beyond the present day. SCP-3xxx devices are largely inert, and may be kept in standard containment lockers.
At no point is Dr. Liam Maxwell (Temporal Anomalies Department Level-3) to be allowed access to this file. Attempts made to access this file by Dr. Maxwell will redirect him to a dummy file containing data on an unrelated anomaly. Dr. Maxwell's work on Project Backfire is crucial, and there is a high chance (based on observed timelines) that his discovery of the true nature of SCP-3xxx will result in his discontinuation of this project.
Description: SCP-3xxx refers to a series of anomalous weapons of varying designs. SCP-3xxx instances most commonly take the form of explosive devices, but chemical and biological weaponry, including anomalous weaponry, have been observed in several instances.
SCP-3xxx instances originate from some point in the future, and are believed to be sent back in time by a Maxwell Engine, a device that will be invented by Foundation personnel Dr. Liam Maxwell some time in 2018 or 2019, currently under development under the name "Project Backfire". The Maxwell Engine is designed to send payloads backwards in time in order to avert major containment breaches and other disasters related to the Foundation's mission.
The creators of the majority of SCP-3xxx instances are unknown, as are how they came to possess a Maxwell Engine. The targets of the attacks have largely been consistent— SCP-3xxx instances target companies, institutions and individuals working in scientific development. The nature of the targets has varied, but the most consistent target are entities working in particle physics and space travel. A partial log of entities and individuals that have fallen victim to SCP-3xxx is located below.
Designation: SCP-3xxx-01
Date of Attack: 09/15/1969
Target: Marrianne Sharpe-Maxwell, an expecting mother in Florida
Description of Event: SCP-3xxx-01 is an ultrasonic bomb intended to forcibly induce labor in any pregnant woman that is within four meters. SCP-3xxx-01 was delivered to the Maxwell household in a plain brown package. Sharpe-Maxwell's child was not due for another month; despite being born prematurely, her son Liam was born without complications.
The package containing SCP-3xxx-01 also contained a document that reads as follows:
I am your son. I would be born in October 1969, but you would be dead. Proof:
In April of next year Apollo 13 will fail to land on the moon.
Nixon is impeached, Ford takes his place.
The Maxwell Engine works. More are coming. To detect it, find tachyonic flux with giger counter— registers as gamma radiation w/o cell damage.
Mrs. Sharpe-Maxwell was administered Amnestics and released.
Number of Casualties: 1
Number of Fatalities: 0
SCP-3xxx Status: Disassembled and reverse-engineered; SCP-3xxx-01 derivatives have been used to contain anomalies that interact with the human gestation cycle. SCP-3xxx-01 itself was considered an anomalous item prior to 1981; however, the ability to detect tachyonic fluctuations with giger counters has been well-documented.
Designation: SCP-3xxx-02
Date of Attack: 2/21/1981
Target: Parker Aeronautics, Dallas, Texas.
Description of Event: SCP-3xxx-02 manifested in the research wing of Parker Aeronautics at 2:21 PM CST. Security footage shows the object as resembling a large, oblong capsule. The Dallas Police Department was called in, fearing the object to be an explosive device. At exactly 2:55 PM, SCP-3xxx-02 detonated, releasing a flash of energy which turned all human matter within twenty meters into a white powder, later found to be individual carbon atoms.
Parker Aeronautics had previously been under Foundation monitoring for their research into terrestrial non-teleporting FTL travel. Following Foundation investigation, Parker Aeronautics's resources and research were acquired by the US Government under Eminent Domain.
To hide anomalous activity, several Foundation-made nail bombs were detonated alongside twenty-five cadavers to simulate a non-anomalous bomb blast. Publicly, the Parker Aeronautics incident was attributed to a copycat of the Unabomber, and the technological level of the attack was strongly downplayed.
Number of Casualties: 25
Number of Fatalities: 25
SCP-3xxx Status: In containment. SCP-3xxx-02 appears to have become inert following its detonation; the mechanisms used in it are being studied as part of Project Polyphemus. A survey of the Parker Aeronautics facility confirmed the presence of tachyon fluctuations, as well as a high amount of neutron radiation.
Designation: SCP-3xxx-03
Date of Attack: 5/09/1982
Target: Dr. Uto Lindholm, Particle Physicist, CERN Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland
Description of Event: SCP-3xxx instance appeared on the passenger's seat of Dr. Lindholm's car in what was described as. It was described as a "misshapen package". Fearing a bomb, Dr. Lindholm's assistant went to alert CERN's security; however, Dr. Lindholm, upon exiting his car, vanished along with most of the front half of the vehicle and twenty centimeters of pavement below the vehicle.
Foundation investigation found the presence of tachyon fluctuations, and a large amount of Hawking radiation, suggesting the detonation was caused by a black hole. A vehicle matching Dr. Lindholm's, a false cadaver, and a C4 explosive were detonated to cover up the advanced technological state of the explosion.
Number of Casualties: 1
Number of Fatalities: 1
SCP-3xxx Status: Destroyed upon activation. The remains of Dr. Lindholm's car are held in Foundation custody for study.
Designation: SCP-3xxx-04
Date of Attack: 10/10/1983
Target: Alexi Czerna, General Secretary of Podlogistan
Description of Event; SCP-3xxx-04 is both the smallest and most numerous SCP-3xxx instance to date, manifesting in the form of over four-hundred small (5cm) syringe darts made of a form of glass that has shown resistance to temperatures in excess of 5000°K. Each SCP-3xxx-04 instance manifested simultaneously around Czerna and proceeded to inject themselves into him. While it is speculated that Czerna had died of the initial shock, this cannot be confirmed, due to the state of his body.
The compound that was present within SCP-3xxx-04, upon making contact with Czerna's bloodstream, caused a rapid expansion of tissues. Czerna's body ruptured starting at his left arm, and the ensuing explosion caused several dozen causalities besides.
Podlogistan was, and continues to be, an area of interest to the Foundation, due to the activity of Chaos Insurgency agents within its borders. Czerna was a noted ally to the Insurgency, and had intended to allow them to experiment on Podlogistan citizens within the town of Krysa; following his death, this plan became non-viable.
Czerna's death was covered up as a suicide bombing enacted by a member of the Podlogistan Liberation Front, a now-defunct terrorist organization.
Number of Casualties: 55
Number of Fatalities: 3
SCP-3xxx Status: All 451 needles recovered intact; ten were found to have embedded themselves in the floorboards beneath Czerna's body, still full of liquid. The compound found within the intact needles appears to be an undiscovered form of synthetic histamine; smaller doses injected into the skin produce severe allergic reactions.
SCP-3xxx Instance: SCP-3xxx-05
Date of Attackn: 12/15/1984
Target: Liam Maxwell, a fifteen-year-old male in Florida, United States; son of the target of SCP-3xxx-01.
Description of Event: SCP-3xxx-05 took the form of a non-anomalous, albeit advanced for the time, gas grenade. The gas output by SCP-3xxx-05 was engineered to specifically harm Liam Maxwell, or individuals who hypothetically share his exact DNA. The gas was not harmful to his parents, who discovered him upon being alerted by the gas. Maxwell himself had asphyxiated, but was revived, due to his father being trained in CPR.
Number of Casualties: 1
Number of Fatalities: 0
SCP-3xxx Status: Due to the low value of Maxwell as a target, and this being the second attack on his family in two decades, it is speculated that he was targeted for an event which has not yet occurred; as such, the Foundation is continuing to monitor his activities into the present day.
SCP-3xxx Instance: SCP-3xxx-05
Date of Attack: 1/19/1995
Target: Employees of Bosak Pharmaceuticals, Poland
Description of Event: A specific project at Bosak Pharmaceuticals was targeted— known as "Project Galaga", the intent was to research and develop drugs to aid in acclimation to long periods of time in a low-gravity, oxygen-limited environment.
At 5:22 CET, five key members of Project Galaga began to asphyxiate while driving, due to the appearance of SCP-3xxx-05 within their cars. SCP-3xxx-05 refers to five miniaturized devices resembling CO2 scrubbers, which are capable of removing or creating oxygen. At the point where the staff of Project Galaga would asphyxiate, the instances instead increased the oxygen content in their vehicles by 5000%, causing death through oxygen poisoning. One individual survived, due to shattering their windshield in a crash as they began to asphyxiate.
Project Galaga, while not discontinued, was set back by several years.
Number of Casualties: 5
Number of Fatalities: 4
SCP-3xxx Status: Three instances destroyed, the remaining two were successfully reverse-engineered by the Foundation. Derivatives of SCP-3xxx-05 are in use in several sub-aquatic Foundation sites.
SCP-3xxx Instance: SCP-3xxx-06
Date of Attack: 2/18/1999
Target: Offices of Dingo Search dot Com, an Australian search engine company.
Description of Event: SCP-3xxx-06 manifested in the main lobby of the Dingo Search dot Com building, taking the form of a car of unknown make and model; an inspection of the car revealed that its model year was 2350. It possessed eight wheels, and was apparently capable of bending around tight corners and locomotion in low-gravity environments.
SCP-3xxx-06 detonated with enough force to destroy the entirety of the Dingo Search dot Com building, causing seventy-one deaths; recovered shrapnel indicates that SCP-3xxx-06 ran on nuclear fusion, which fueled the detonation. Despite this, background radiation levels, apart from tachyon fluctuations, returned to normal less than three hours after the detonation.
Dingo Search was dissolved, along with four other companies which it held majority stake in. One such company, QuantumVoid, had reported success with teleportation experiments two months previously.
Number of Casualties: 71
Number of Fatalities: 71
SCP-3xxx Status: Completely destroyed. Attempts at reconstructing the shrapnel have met with little success; to date, it is unknown if SCP-3xxx-06 was even made for locomotion on Earth.
SCP-3xxx Instance: SCP-3xxx-07
Date of Attack: 6/19/2005
Target: Dr. Liam Maxwell, theoretical and particle physicist, part of DARPA Think Tank "Sigma".
Description of Event: The third attack targeting Dr. Maxwell after SCP-3xxx-01 and SCP-3xxx-05, SCP-3xxx-07 is identical to SCP-3xxx-05, including using a future version of the same canister, complete with a label placed on it by Foundation archivists. However, the gas released was intended not to asphyxiate, but to render unconscious. Dr. Maxwell was rendered comatose following exposure to SCP-3xxx-07.
In addition, SCP-3xxx-07 was modified to include a compact Foundation SOS beacon, leading Foundation agents to more easily recover it. Within SCP-3xxx-07, agents discovered a note with the chemical formula for an apparent counteragent written on it, along with the following note:
Still think I'm crazy, Thad? —Liam Maxwell, 2021
Number of Casualties: 1
Number of Fatalities: 0
SCP-3xxx Status: The canister is in storage, along with the previous SCP-3xxx instance used in the 1984 attack. Dr. Maxwell was roused from his coma, and made an offer to join the Foundation, due to his expertise in the fields of theoretical physics, particularly relating to temporal travel. He has since joined the Temporal Anomalies Department as a Level-3 researcher.
SCP-3xxx Instance: SCP-3xxx-08
Date: 04/04/2007
Target: BetterUs Research and Development Center, California
Description of Event: A series of crude C4 bombs appeared in the corridors of the BetterUs facility. Enough notice was given to allow for complete evacuation of the building. In the server room, an instance connected to a large electromagnet manifested; this magnet destroyed all data present on company servers.
BetterUs was dissolved within the next month, due to the loss of progress on a major research project intended to create staple crops that could aid in terraforming other planets.
Number of Casualties: 0
Number of Fatalities: 0
SCP-3xxx Status: Completely destroyed. Parts of the magnet were recovered, and the metal content was found to be Martian in origin, with no terrestrial iron present.
SCP-3xxx Instance: SCP-3xxx-09
Date of Attack: Between 11/15 and 11/20/2007
Target: Compound for the "De-Simulator" militia group, Oregon, United States.
Description of Events: The De-Simulators were a heavily anti-technology militia organization, believing the world was a simulation which was being perpetuated by modern digital technology, including computers, televisions, and cellular phones. Prior to this, the FBI received a tip that the De-Simulators were planning an attack on several technology stores throughout Portland, Oregon.
Upon arriving at the compound on 11/21/2007, FBI agents found all members of the militia dead from exposure to a series of non-anomalous chlorine bombs. Surveillance cameras that the De-Simulators had within the camp showed the devices being deposited into the camp by large, opaque holes, which then proceeded to collapse on themselves.
Number of Casualties: 25
Number of Fatalities: 25
SCP-3xxx Status: Destroyed due to health concerns. The area in which the De-Simulator camp was located was rendered uninhabitable for over a decade after, due to the sheer concentration of chlorine in the area.
SCP-3xxx Instance: SCP-3xxx-10
Date of Attack: 7/09/2010
Target: Dr. Blake Schafer, a professor emeritus of physics at the University of Michigan
Description of Event: Dr. Schafer was killed following the appearance of over one-hundred and fifty bullets in the doorway to his apartment. He was accompanied by his wife, who was struck in the leg by one of the bullets. Dr. Schafer had planned to publish a paper on the feasibility of accelerating or slowing time for a single individual without the use of FTL travel.
Publicly, Dr. Schafer's death is due to being shot by a robber using an SMG.
Number of Casualities: 2
Number of Fatalities: 1
SCP-3xxx Status: In containment; bullets are crude, and resemble musket shot circa 1780. However, in addition to the lead, the bullets contained high iridium content, suggesting a meteoric origin.
SCP-3xxx Instance: SCP-3xxx-Ω
Date of Attack: 12/15/2015
Target: Dr. Liam Maxwell, Level-3 Personnel, Department of Temporal Anomalies
Description of Events: Due to an oversight while upgrading Foundation operating systems, Dr. Maxwell was allowed access to actual file for SCP-3xxx for upwards of three hours. Upon reading the file, Dr. Maxwell used their clearance to begin the deletion process of all data related to the Maxwell Engine and Project Backfire, as well as retrieving and burning all physical copies of the paper on-site.
Security attempted to apprehend Maxwell and halt the deletion process, at which point this exchange occurred:
Dr. Maxwell: I know at least one of my future selves has been talked out of this, and I know they regret it.
Security: What do you believe that will accomplish?
Dr. Maxwell: They won't let me finish this conversation.
Upon stating this, Dr. Maxwell was killed vial blunt force trauma, due to what is believed to be the entirety of a disassembled, unusable Maxwell Engine appearing and being shot at him at over 90kph. No further SCP-3xxx instances have appeared following this incident.
Number of Casualties: 1
Number of Fatalities: 1
SCP-3xxx status: Destroyed and unusable. Attempts to reconstruct the Maxwell Engine have met with failure, due to the apparently non-euclidian nature of the Sharpe Portal, the main propulsion system for the engine. Dr. Maxwell's data was recovered from a backup, but Dr. Xyank has vetoed any attempts at re-construction.
Item #: SCP-3xxx
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-3xxx are to be kept in individual containers with foam padding made to fit each instance, to ensure that transportation cannot result in the accidental spinning of the instances. Currently, there are no plans to create new instances of SCP-3xxx.
Aoki Events may be initiated by two or more personnel within Site-29's High Impact Test Chamber. Proper testing procedure calls for two personnel to activate the SCP-3xxx instances by spinning them counter-clockwise, and proceeding to evacuate through the blast doors in a timely manner.
Description: SCP-3xxx-1 is a three-pronged aluminum 'fidget spinner' toy, patterned with stripes in black and a red-yellow gradient. The cap for the axle of SCP-3xxx-1 has stylized text in Katakana script, reading "Fidget WinnersTM"; no such entity has been found in any extant trademark database.
When spun in a direction the user perceives as counter-clockwise, SCP-3xxx-1 will become capable of levitation. Breaking physical contact with SCP-3xxx-1 will result in it orienting itself horizontally, and continue rotating at its original speed. During this time, it will produce SCP-3xxx-A1, a semi-solid holographic construct resembling a Smilodon fatalis with a mane of blue flames and striping in a pattern similar to the coloring on SCP-3xxx-1 itself. Contact with skin will cause SCP-3xxx-1 to cease motion and fall to the floor.
When spun in a direction the user perceives as clockwise, SCP-3xxx-1 will again suspend itself in mid-air, but along a vertical axis. During this time, information is projected onto SCP-3xxx in a manner similar to a statistics screen in a Japanese Role-Playing Video Game, displaying information such as SCP-3xxx-1's weight, maximum speed, and a statistic which simply reads "Fighting Spirit", which is listed as "Burning Smilodon".
Furthermore, any item that can be classified as a 'fidget spinner' toy that makes direct contact with SCP-3xxx-1 is transmogrified into an instance of SCP-3xxx. These additional instances possess anomalous properties identical to SCP-3xxx, but have variations on the statistics display based on design, composition, weight, etc. However, new SCP-3xxx instances do not carry the same transformative properties as SCP-3xxx-1.
Most instances of SCP-3xxx to date also have a unique "Fighting Spirit". If at least two SCP-3xxx instances are spun counter-clockwise, an Aoki Event will occur.
Aoki Events are characterized by two or more SCP-3xxx-A instances engaging in combat with one another. During this event, SCP-3xxx instances will proceed towards the highest point in the area (up to 20m in outdoor areas) and attempt to collide with each other. These collisions are represented by physical combat that takes place between SCP-3xxx-A instances. SCP-3xxx instances are unaffected by normal gravity for the duration of Aoki events. The apparent win condition of an Aoki event is knocking all other SCP-3xxx instances to the ground and immobilizing them. Following the conclusion of an Aoki event, SCP-3xxx instances will return to their base state.
Discovery: SCP-3xxx was discovered following its confiscation from a student at █████ Middle School in Bangor, Maine. It was placed in a bin of confiscated objects, along with several other fidget spinners previously confiscated, transfiguring all it made contact with into SCP-3xxx instances.
At the end of the 2016-2017 school year, when all confiscated materials were returned, at least three individuals independently spun their SCP-3xxx instance counter-clockwise, resulting in a large Aoki event. Due to the semi-solid nature of the entities, and the force of the attacks (mainly in form of large pockets of high air pressure), over $200,000 in damage was done to the building. A transcript of security camera footage documenting the Aoki Event is available below; for the purposes of clarity, all SCP-3xxx-A instances are referred to by the designations given to them on their statistics board.
2:39:15 PM: Kyle Ballard, Age 13, is seen spinning SCP-3xxx-1, before inadvertently letting go as another unidentified student collides with their shoulder. It hovers in midair, unnoticed by Ballard, as he proceeds to berate the student who collided with him.
2:39:27 PM: In the cafeteria, another student, Michelle Fletcher, puts down their SCP-3xxx instance after spinning it counter-clockwise. It proceeds to hover in midair, before an instance of SCP-3xxx-A ("Congo Cerebus") resembling a three-headed gorilla appears underneath, and grows to reach the ceiling (approx. 10m high). The table it was laid on buckles under its weight, and Fletcher and several other students run out of the room.
2:39:31 PM: Ballard's SCP-3xxx instance flies around him in a figure-8 pattern, before it manifests its own SCP-3xxx-A instance ("Burning Smilodon"), a Smilodon fatalis with a mane made of blue fire. It roars, before proceeding to run in the direction of the cafeteria.
2:40:02 PM: Dr. Craig Ward, Ballard's homeroom teacher and original confiscator of SCP-3xxx, idly spins a two-pronged fidget spinner, before abruptly sneezing and having it fall out of their hand. It hovers in mid-air, and an SCP-3xxx-A instance ("Queen Aranae") in the form of a twenty-limbed spider-like creature appears, running from the room with the SCP-3xxx instance in tow.
2:41:00 PM: Queen Aranae runs down the chemistry hallway at high speeds; the air pressure wave created by its running shatters the fume hoods within labs 1 and 3, and leaves a large crack in the hood of lab 2. A fourth SCP-3xxx-A instance ("Centurion Remus") in the form of a Roman centurion with the head of a large wolf appears and engages in combat with Queen Aranae, resulting in damage to several rows of lockers. The origin of Centurion Remus is unclear; SCP-3xxx-4, when recovered, was found to have been soaked in water that was identified to be from the toilet of the men's restroom.
2:41:09 PM: Several tables in the cafeteria are buckled and broken by the arrival of Burning Smilodon, which grows to match the size of Congo Cerebus. Burning Smilodon pounces on Congo Cerebus, causing both SCP-3xxx instances to come into view of the cameras. They proceed to collide repeatedly, shooting sparks from the collisions.
2:43:05 PM: After several minutes of battling, the sparking from the two battling SCP-3xxx instances ignites leftover cooking oil in one of the warming trays for cafeteria food, causing a fire to break out. At this point, the fire alarm is triggered, and evacuation starts.
2:45:29 PM: Burning Smilodon subdues Congo Cerebus. Burning Smilodon roars, causing several lights overhead to spark and shatter. Both instances fall to the ground, inert, as a cafeteria worker sprays the oil fire with a fire extinguisher.
3:00:29 PM: Queen Aranae and Centurion Remus's battle spills out into the parking lot of the school, where all school personnel have evacuated. Centurion is seen impaling Queen Aranae on the school's flagpole, which causes it to buckle in half, before both instances are rendered inert. One SCP-3xxx instance lands on the head of an instructor, causing them to fall unconscious.
3:10:02: Foundation containment personnel arrive on-scene and begin reviewing video logs.
Addendum: "Evolution" of SCP-3xxx-A Instances: During the fifteenth test of combat between SCP-3xxx-A1 and SCP-3xxx-A4, the Burning Smilodon entity underwent a change in appearance following its victory. SCP-3xxx-A1 now has longer fangs, a larger mane, and an overall larger body structure compared to the original appearance.
Furthermore, testing of SCP-3xxx-A1 now shows that it has had a significant increase in the maximum speed at which it can be rotated, and weighs less than it did upon containment; these changes are reflected in the statistics screen, as is the change of SCP-3xxx-A1, which is now referred to as "Coronal Machairodont54." SCP-3xxx-A1 has been observed winning contests more consistently; it is unknown if other SCP-3xxx-A instances are capable of this evolution.
Item #: SCP-3xxx
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3xxx is to be kept in a climate-controlled coffin in Reliquary Site-25. Due to ethical concerns, no testing is to be carried out using SCP-3xxx; results of previous tests, and all material recovered with SCP-3xxx, are available for the perusal of all members of site personnel.
While SCP-3xxx does not constitute a known biohazard unless consumed, individuals working in the biomass storage wing of Reliquary Site-25 are to undergo regular nutritional health screenings, and are subject to random monitoring of their caloric intake over a 72 hour period.
Description: SCP-3xxx refers to the remains of a human male of French descent who died circa 1798. Upon containment, SCP-3xxx's left leg was missing, believed to have been separated from their cadaver and consumed some time between 1800 and 1815.
SCP-3xxx shows incredible amounts of deformation in the abdominal cavity and mandibles, suggesting that several organs and pieces of tissue were displaced or deformed in life. Records from 1798 indicate that in life, SCP-3xxx had a massively deformed digestive tract to the point that the stomach could be viewed through the esophagus— though no exact measurements were taken at the time, modern estimates are that SCP-3xxx's stomach was approximately seven times the size of an average human's.
SCP-3XXX's anomalous properties manifest when an individual prepares part of the remains as a meal intended for human consumption; in its current state, the most viable way to prepare a meal from SCP-3xxx is as ingredients for a broth. Individuals who consume this meal show signs of a unique severe compulsive eating disorder, dubbed by DeWeese, LaPerle, et al as "Gastromania Universalis".
Individuals who suffer from Gastromania Universalis report an intense hunger, and will attempt to consume any material that can be fit into their mouths, edible or inedible. Subjects appear to have a slightly increased metabolic rate as a result of massive, forced caloric intake, often consuming in excess of 100,000kcal per day of edible material, and several cubic meters of inedible material. As a result, extreme physiological changes will occur.
- The facial cheeks of the subjects will greatly distend to the point where each cheek is capable of holding approximately 3L3 of matter.
- The stomach and esophagus will greatly distend as a result of the sheer volume of matter consumed; as an indirect result, some inedible materials may settle in the stomach and act as gastroliths, even if non-mineral in nature. Observed gastrolithic materials have included shards of bone, metals that do not fully dissolve in the gastric acid, various bezoars of hair, fur and fingernails, undigested plastic, and in one case, dissolved silicon from the consumption of several cell phones.
- The subject's lower abdomen will distend greatly, but will not retain mass, and instead result in large flaps of skin hanging off of their torso; testing has shown that some intestinal matter will have distended into these flaps.
- Gastric acid present in the stomach will decrease in average pH from 1.5-3.5 to approximately 1.0-1.5 due to the consumption of inedible, possibly toxic materials. While still in relatively normal range for stomach acid, subjects will suffer from severe, albeit treatable, acid reflux. As a result of the decrease in pH and the subsequent reflux, the subject will start emitting a foul, acidic odor from their nose and mouth.
Several studies over the course of ten years have determined that the physical symptoms of Gastromania Universalis is not inherently anomalous, and have the potential to manifest, albeit in less extreme forms, in individuals with non-anomalous binge eating disorders.
SCP-3xxx was discovered along with several malformed corpses dated to the early 1800s embedded in the walls of a house in Versailles, France. Originally treated as an archaeological curiosity, one of the individuals interred was found to have apparently swallowed a box of yew wood containing a solid gold fork, several metacarpals and metatarsals that are believed to have belonged to at least two six-month-old infants, a piece of bone that has since been identified as being part of SCP-3xxx's left ankle, and a small, leather book with writing by an "M. Duveaux", last dated to 1815. The contents of this book are reproduced below, fully translated.
The box itself was covered in intricate carvings depicting an unknown being with the head of an unknown, unnamed entity with the head of a rodent, portrayed in the style of murals dating to the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. This entity, referred to as "Ipenewat" in the text of the journal, is shown consuming several corpses and leaving behind individuals whose appearance is consistent with deformations resultant from Gastromania Universalis.
Furthermore, the box was found to have large amounts of hemlock oil soaked into the wood— while mostly evaporated, the amount present upon the box when it was originally consumed would have proved fatal within less than three hours.

The Journal of M. Duveaux
The incarnation is dead. His carcass reeked to high hell when they finally took him out of the hospital— they thought to burn him, but I convinced them to allow us to take it for examination. It was magnificent— his flesh was almost melting off of him, but some drying in natron and draining the liquids cured his body of that. We fed his juices to the curs on the street, and they seem unaffected.
The rites call for first making the body itself fallow and barren, and letting the basest of creatures consume its seed— what is more base than a human? We are but leeches on the back of the world, and the world shall feed on us again. We were born from rat shit, and to rat shit we shall return. We are the food of Ipenewat.
C. will have the honor of making the incarnation barren— I envy her in this regard. I've only tasted the berries once, and the thought of chewing on them again makes me weak.
C. has fulfilled the second part of the rites— she has eaten of the incarnation, and from this, has gained some of its hunger. The cat two houses down fled, no doubt sensing her voracious intent. More mice for C.
She brought a guest for the dinner proper, a drunkard who was convinced she was a common harlot. The alcohol made his liver unpalatable, and it dulled his pain enough that he did not even scream when L. plunged his hand in and drew out his kidneys. A shame, but he did not go to waste— we laid his largely empty carcass in the body of the incarnation, great and wide it is. The prayer was spoken, and L. fulfilled the rite of the sinister foot. I heard him crunch into his dried skin, like a snail's shell being crushed in my teeth. I couldn't help but grin. Now, every step he takes, the world trembles with the force of a thousand black hooves.
C. has given into the ecstasy of the hunger. I had to restrain the poor girl after she ate all of the raw grain, and tried amputating her hand. A few pints of cattle blood sated her for the day, and still she sobbed, begging for more to sate her hunger. Ipenewat has laid in her bed, and rests in her womb. Perhaps the incarnation will be reborn from her loins.
She's eaten the leather on one of her straps. I applied a laxative immediately— we cannot have tainted, treated flesh within her bowels, lest Famine frown upon us. The parlor stinks. I've been burning incense for six hours.
D. and M. scattered salt on a dozen fields on their way down from Paris, marking the sacred shape, the ever-gaping maw. Even now, I hear whispers of men being found with their legs bitten off, trying to clear the sacred salt. It is a shame that M.'s second stomach is causing him such pain— he won't be able to properly partake in the ritual until October, at the very least.
Still, they did bring gifts— M. brought along three barrels of lamb's blood, one of which was half-empty. He convinced to partaking, the old drunk. As penance, he let the rest of his portions be fed to Ipenewat's messengers.
C. meanwhile was visited by Ipenewat in the night— I awoke to find her covered in bites from his children, his rats. She had pieces of rat flesh from her mouth, a true blessing. They are allowing her to consume them, a sure sign the ritual is working. One even crawled into her mouth, head-first, as I observed. There is something satisfying about the crunch of bone and the taste of brain that I cannot even begin to comprehend— the wasted meat is the sweetest.
I learned today that, in his life, the incarnation ate at least two human whelps. Awful, horrible, disgusting. A waste of potential life and livestock— one does not kill a newborn lamb, one waits for it to grow and then slaughters it for its sweetest meats.
The drunkard's body has had time to settle in the body of the incarnation. The recipe that D. came up with for the ritual is a variation on the original, but it should retain its sanctity— take the skin of the drunkard and wrap it around what remains of the sinister leg, then break it off and bake it in the dried skin. The rest of the drunkard's meat will not go to waste; C's birthday is soon, and she has often complimented me on my roasts. The hunger has been driving her to chew at her own flesh, and while I am grateful to Ipenewat for his bounty, she cannot live on your children alone.
I almost killed D. He broke all of our spice jars. Nothing irreplaceable, but it will take days to re-sanctify it all, and I took some of his blood for this particular rite. Not all of it, but enough that he couldn't walk. M. has ducked out to get new spices.
Prayer for the Meal
Ipenewat, grant us salvation from consumption eternal. As our bodies are consumed, our shadow cannot be cast, our heart has no seat, our name is lost, and our five-part soul is destroyed. Your incarnations of hunger grant us the ability to consume all, and in doing so, ensure their freedom from the gullets of the gods.
M. took far too long with the spices. They are sanctified, and I gave some of my meal to C, who was on the verge of eating her own tongue. She had already chewed part of it off.
I feel ill.
Laxative in the food
They cut C.'s throat. Even as she screams, they are interring her in stone. I do not know them— they do not wear any flag I recognize, but their skin might be Grecian. M. is among them, clutching a pouch that jingles with the sound of coins.
The hunger has taken me enough that I can spare myself C and D's fate. I have enough hemlock in my abode to poison all of France. They dare not destroy a relic such as the incarnation's corpse. May others continue the work of Ipenewat the Ravenous.
Passage 1
Duveaux begins by describing the death of an individual known as the "Incarnation", evidently SCP-3xxx, and how they saved the corpse from being burned, preserving it in natron and draining it of its juices— a diagram found on the box containing the journal indicates that they were using techniques similar to Egyptian mummification circa 1850 BCE. Duveaux compares himself, and humanity in general, to base creatures, leeches on the back of the world. The name "Ipenewat" appears for the first time.
An individual known as "C" is stated to make the incarnation "barren" by consuming a body part; due to language used describing this part, it can be assumed that "C" consumed the gametes of SCP-3xxx. Animals are described as fleeing from the area following this, which Duveaux attributes to them being able to sense the hunger emanating from "C".
Passage 2
This part of the journal describes the sacrifice and partial consumption of an inebriated individual by a cultist referred to as "L", who does not reappear in the journal. Following the consumption, the body is placed within SCP-3xxx to further the process of meal preparation. L is described as performing the "Rite of the Sinister Foot". While not elaborated upon, this may instead be the be the "rite of the left foot"— the dialect of French used here is antiquated, and does not appear to differentiate between the concepts of "sinistre" as being both the direction left and being an adjective denoting an ill omen. L. is described as having an ominous, intimidating presence about him following this.
Passage 3
C. begins showing signs of Gastromania Universalis, which Duveaux refers to as the "Ecstasy of Hunger". After eating raw grain and attempting to amputate her hand, Duveaux restrained her, and describes the figure of Ipenewat as having lain with C.
Immediately after, Duveaux describes having to administer a laxative to C. following her consumption of a leather strap, presumably restraining her. He describes the leather as 'tainted and treated', and that the parlor 'stinks' because of her.
Passage 4
Two new individuals, "D" and "M", are introduced, having been described as salting fields in a particular shape on their way from Paris to Versailles; contemporary accounts show that several fields were salted or otherwise destroyed by an unknown party or parties from 1803 to 1809. Maps of the fields show now known occult pattern emerging among the plots, suggesting the symbols were on a smaller scale. M. is described as having a 'second stomach'.
D and M brought barrels of lamb's blood as a gift, one of which was half-consumed by M, whom Duveaux refers to as an "old drunk".
C. is described as being visited by Ipenwat in the night, with several rats crawling on her and seemingly feeding themselves to her, one of them crawling in head-first before being consumed. Of note, Duveaux refers to the meat of the brain as 'wasted meat', which corresponds with an Ancient Egyptian belief that the brain was essentially useless, both anatomically and spiritually, and was thrown away during mummification.
Passage 5
Duveaux writes about SCP-3xxx with disgust after learning that, in life, they had consumed at least two infants. He talks about it being a 'waste of potential life and livestock'.
The drunkard's body from passage two is referenced, apparently having had enough time to prepare. Details about the preparation of the actual meal are discussed, and how the "Sinister Leg" is to be consumed first. Some of the drunkard is intended to be saved for C.'s birthday, where it will be served as a roast. C. herself has apparently eaten several rats, but cannot live on "[Ipenewat's] children alone".
Duveaux expresses rage at D. for breaking several spice jars, which were apparently sanctified. M. goes to retrieve new spices, while Duveaux bemoans how long the ritual to re-sanctify the spices will take.
Passage 6:
A prayer to Ipenewat, which has been reproduced below:
Ipenewat, grant us salvation from consumption eternal. As our bodies are consumed, our shadow cannot be cast, our heart has no seat, our name is lost, and our five-part soul is destroyed. Your incarnations of hunger grant us the ability to consume all, and in doing so, ensure their freedom from the gullets of the gods.
Passages 7-9:
Duveaux describes how M. returned with the spices, after taking an inordinately long amount of time. C. is described as having chewed off part of her own tongue.
Following this, Duveaux complains of feeling ill— the parts of SCP-3xxx which were consumed were laced with a laxative. The last entry describes how Duveaux has seen C. having her throat cut by an unknown group of individuals, apparently Greek in origin, having worked with D. in order to eliminate the cult. C., M., and Duveaux are apparently due to be interred in stone. Duveaux states his intent to commit suicide by ingestion of hemlock, and says that the organization "dare not destroy a relic" such as SCP-3xxx. The last line is "May others continue the work of Ipenewat the Ravenous".
Nexus #: Nx-249
Civilian Designation: Apartment 8I, 21 ████ St, New York, New York
Population: 2 Foundation personnel, unknown civilian population
Area Class: Camelot
Nexus Interaction Protocol: [Paragraphs explaining special requirements for personnel working in the Nexus]
Containment Facility: [Optional Site/Area dedicated to containment and monitoring]
Description: Nx-249 refers to the entirety of Apartment 8I, including its kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. Originally a non-anomalous luxury apartment in uptown Manhattan, Nx-249's anomalous properties were first noted after the disappearance of the sole tenant, listed as 'Neil Drake' on all paperwork associated with Nx-249.
When the front door of Nx-249 is closed, the interior dimensions alter themselves drastically. The exterior wall, which faces south-east, vanishes and opens into a large beach. Soil and water analysis, along with exploration attempts, has concluded that this beach is either Siesta Beach, located in Sarasota, Florida, or a near-perfect approximation of the beach. The temperature has never been recorded to drop below 21C or go above 25C.
Addendum: [Optional additional paragraphs]
Item #: SCP-3xxx
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3xxx's right hand is to be enclosed in a cloth glove at all times to prevent its anomaly from activating. [more stuff goes here when I'm done rewriting it]
Description: SCP-3xxx is a female human of Navajo-German descent, aged 29. SCP-3xxx weighs 70kg and stands at 1.57m when not being affected by its anomalous properties. SCP-3xxx possesses brown eyes and black hair, and has an incomplete tattoo depicting events from The Coming of Monsters from the Diné Bahaneʼ55 on its back. The fingertips and palm of SCP-3xxx's right hand show signs of several needle marks, which SCP-3xxx cannot account for.
SCP-3xxx's anomalous properties manifest when its right extremity on its forelimb makes physical contact with the skin, hide, fur, feathers or exoskeleton of any organism from the kingdom Animalia. Following this, SCP-3xxx begins to transform into a genetically identical copy of the organism which it came into contact with; this process has been observed to last from between ten seconds to six minutes. This process has been described as "excruciatingly painful" by SCP-3xxx, with pain intensifying as differences in size become more extreme. SCP-3xxx will undergo this transformation regardless of the state of biological matter it comes into contact with; contact with a live specimen of cattle will produce the same reaction as contact with leather. However, non-living human matter (such as shed skin cells and corpses) will not trigger the anomaly.
SCP-3xxx's intelligence and degree of sapience fluctuates from organism to organism, but SCP-3xxx is capable of remembering what occurred during times when it has transformed, provided the organism has a brain. SCP-3xxx appears to be unfamiliar with the bodies of organisms it changes into, and often injures itself. Winged organisms appear to give SCP-3xxx the most difficulty in adjustment, as to date, SCP-3xxx has been unable to stay airborne for more than several seconds, invariably colliding with walls or falling from the air due to exhaustion.
Sufficient physical trauma, such as a gunshot wound, will result in SCP-3xxx reverting to their original form. Furthermore, SCP-3xxx has displayed an acute allergy to silver, breaking out in severe hives upon contact, and often experiencing spontaneous dermal hemorrhaging.
Recovery: SCP-3xxx was originally reported missing from its reservation in late 2011, following a series of deaths in the area attributed to animal attacks. Foundation investigation found that the attacks were caused by large animals such as wolves and coyotes, but with human footprints left behind in several cases. These attacks stopped following SCP-3xxx's disappearance.
SCP-3xxx was recovered in the spring of 2012, having been shot by a farmer; during this time, SCP-3xxx had turned into a coyote, and was scavenging on a dead chicken. Foundation medical teams intercepted SCP-3xxx at its hospital, where its anomalous properties manifested upon a nurse checking its right hand, causing its anomaly to activate.
SCP-3xxx was moved to Site-82, where it was interviewed by Dr. Douglas Smith. For the duration of this, SCP-3xxx's hands were covered and restrained.
SCP-3xxx: You can't hold me here. I've not been charged with anything.
Dr. Smith: We're not holding you on a criminal basis. We're… well, we want to know what you are. How you do this.
SCP-3xxx: So you can make your own yee naaldlooshii?56 Fuck you, and your government.
Dr. Smith: My government? I'm Lakota by descent.
SCP-3xxx: You still work for the US Gov. Where am I, anyway? Some MIB facility? Is Agent Jay gonna walk through the door and give sunburn to my brain?
Dr. Smith: We don't work with the US Government, or any government. We're… extragovernmental. We study individuals such as yourself, with abilities that are beyond that of normality.
[SCP-3xxx remains silent]
Dr. Smith: Your file shows your name is Kai. Is it all right if I call you that?[SCP-3xxx nods]
Dr. Smith: In the preliminary examination, several track marks were reported to be present on your hand—
SCP-3xxx: I'm not a junkie.
Dr. Smith: I wasn't going to accuse you of that.
SCP-3xxx: Then why call them track marks? Why not needle marks? [SCP-3xxx shifts in its seat uncomfortably] I keep on having… I had blank patches for months on end. I'd come home from work, and the next thing I'd know, it'd be morning and I'd passed out on the couch, and there would be a new bandage on my hand.
Dr. Smith: You worked on a ranch, yes?
SCP-3xxx: My grandfather owned it at one point— my mom's dad. We don't like to talk about him. We're just hired there to help, now. It's a living.
Dr. Smith: Did you contact the authorities about the injuries you received?
SCP-3xxx: And what would they do? If it was someone non-native, they can't be arrested or tried on the reservation.57 And I'm not sure if you've noticed, but short of the goddamn Zodiac killer showing up in the Nation, the only reason a fed is going to step onto our land is to burn their wallet while playing craps.
Dr. Smith: Point taken. I… think that'll be all for today. You'll be shown to your room.
SCP-3xxx: All right.
Addendum: 3xxx Testing Footage Transcripts:
Test 3xxx-01:
Dr. Smith: All right, I want you to approach the center of the room.
SCP-3xxx: So, this is the part where you try to turn me into a weapon?
Dr. Smith: We simply want to see the limits of your…
SCP-3xxx: Let's call it what it it. A curse.
Dr. Smith: If you prefer that. Now, before you is the pelt of an animal that's fairly close to your size; an African leopard.
SCP-3xxx: How did it die?
Dr. Smith: In a zoo. It was old, poor thing.
SCP-3xxx: Okay. Uh. It works when I do it with this hand [SCP-3xxx holds up its right hand] but if I don't use that, it… doesn't do anything.
Dr. Smith: Use your right hand, please.
SCP-3xxx: Okay. [SCP-3xxx places its hand on the pelt; a flash of light is seen emitting from its fingertips, visible only on slowed-down playbacks] FUCK! Goddamn son of a fucking bitch piece of [SCP-3xxx's voice turns into incoherent snarling and growling throughout the course of its transformation. SCP-3xxx then proceeds to attack the observation glass, severely scratching it with its claws]
Dr. Smith: Holy cow.
[SCP-3xxx ceases its attack on the glass, emitting sounds of fear and distress. SCP-3xxx eventually calms.]
[One hour into the test, twenty kilograms of beef are introduced into SCP-3xxx's enclosure. It attempts to consume the beef, but it shows some difficulty doing so.]
Dr. Smith: I… Can someone go in there and try to chop it up for her? Please? I'm sorry, Kai. We're going to keep observing until you change back, however long that takes.
[EXTRANEOUS LOGS REMOVED]
[SCP-3xxx begins reverting after five hours and forty-two minutes. Upon reverting fully, SCP-3xxx sits in the middle of the chamber, curled up in a fetal position]
Dr. Smith: Welcome back, Kai. Take your time.
SCP-3xxx: Did I kill someone?
Dr. Smith: Beg pardon?
SCP-3xxx: I… I remember having a mind like that. Hungry, wanting to hunt, but just locked in a room. Then, someone let me out, and [SCP-3xxx pauses] I woke up at home, in the living room, with blood on my gums. There were attacks on the reservation. They started after I [SCP-3xxx's voice becomes shaken] after I started finding needle marks on me. D-did I… why did I? Why did I kill them?
Dr. Smith: You weren't in control. You can't blame yourself, Kai.
SCP-3xxx: Why would someone do this to me? Why?
Dr. Smith: I promise you, we're looking into it. [Dr. Smith sighs] When you're ready, we'll have someone escort you to your room. Okay?
SCP-3xxx: O-okay.
Incident 3xxx-21: Following a test determining SCP-3xxx's interaction with winged organisms, SCP-3xxx developed a severe rash on their left hand, which soon began hemorrhaging. The cause of this was unknown, and the wound failed to close, and did not begin healing until three days later. Review of footage shows SCP-3xxx's hand coming into contact with that of Security Agent McEwan as they escorted SCP-3xxx to its cell following the test; McEwan was wearing their silver wedding band at the time. A follow-up test of a skin sample collected from SCP-3xxx shows that silver has deleterious effects on its tissue. When presented with this information, SCP-3xxx gave this statement:
SCP-3xxx: Silver? Like I'm some kind of werewolf?
Dr. Smith: I'm not sure I'd use that term. It appears to be a severe allergy to the element.
SCP-3xxx: That doesn't make sense. My mom, she had this silver amulet that dad gave her, she always wore it, and I used to wear it, too, even after I started changing. How am I suddenly allergic to it?
Dr. Smith: I agree that it seems incongruous… we've looked into your genealogy. Your maternal grandfather, he hailed from Germany?
SCP-3xxx: His family had been in America for generations before that. We were from around… I think Stuttgart?
Dr. Smith: And your father's side, they're all Navajo?
SCP-3xxx: As far back as can be traced. Why the sudden interest in history?
Dr. Smith: It's occurred to me that both Germanic folklore and the Navajo's mythos have creatures that can take on the form of animals. The yee naaldlooshii and the werewolf. What was done to you, it was… well, in a sick way, it brought your heritage to the forefront.
SCP-3xxx: Oh my god. [SCP-3xxx stares at its hand] So, whatever this was that got stuck into me, it, what, made me into some fucked-up Animorph because it's in my mythology? [SCP-3xxx stares at the wall of the interview room] How would that even work?
Dr. Smith: We're not sure.
SCP-3xxx: Why did they stop?
Dr. Smith: That… hmm. [Dr. Smith rests his hand on his chin.] They could have continued indefinitely, with the relative isolation. During the attacks, the victims… [Dr. Smith frowns] How well did you know the individuals on your reservation?
SCP-3xxx: I attended the funerals for everyone killed by… by me. [SCP-3xxx puts its head in its hand] Oh my god.
Dr. Smith: Wait here. [Dr. Smith exits the room for several minutes, eventually re-entering with photographs of all of the individuals killed at SCP-3xxx's reservation prior to its containment] All right. Does anyone here look out of place?
SCP-3xxx: Her. [SCP-3xxx indicates a photograph of a Caucasian woman, aged forty, identified as Lena Goldsmith] I've never seen her before. Who was she?
Dr. Smith: Records indicate that she was a teacher on your reservation—
SCP-3xxx: No. I've never seen her before in my life. If she was a teacher, then half the school would have shown up to mourn her. [SCP-3xxx frowns] We just showed up at her funeral because it was right. She's not even buried on the reservation, I don't think; it was more of a memorial.
Dr. Smith: We'll look into it.
Addendum: POI-3xxx-01: POI-3xxx-01 refers to a deceased individual under the presumed alias of Lena Goldsmith; Foundation search of their former property found several samples of animal pelt, and a memory card for a digital camera. The data on the camera shows heavy corruption, but three images were recovered; two of them show SCP-3xxx in stages of transformation, while the third is a photograph of a hand with needle marks in positions similar to those displayed on SCP-3xxx. The hand does not belong to SCP-3xxx.
Further search found several fragments of burnt paper in an incinerator behind the house, as well as melted plastic used in medical syringes. Due to the lack of any anomalous chemical residue in the POI's dwelling, it is presumed that the substance in the syringe (tentatively classified as SCP-3xxx-Alpha) was created elsewhere, and then delivered to the POI. Investigation into POI-3xxx-01's motives and connections are ongoing.
