 Item number SCP-226 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-226 is to be kept in a locked cabinet within the site of the Secure Item Storage Unit. Any person wishing to use SCP-226 must have approval from any personnel with at least level 3 security clearance. Description SCP-226 is a cardboard box measuring roughly 30 cm by 20 cm by 4 cm. It has a lid that fits securely over the bottom half, as with any common puzzle box. The surface of the box is a deep black, with the word fear, scrawled with white ink on the upper right corner of its lid. Within the box are 1000 cardboard puzzle pieces, each measuring roughly 2 cm in diameter, also considered SCP-226. When completed, the puzzle always forms in a rectangular shape. However, the design and order in which the pieces fit together change with use. SCP-226 aligns itself with whoever initially opens the box. When opened, the pieces change design, and the completed image will show what has been discovered to be the greatest fear of the person who it is aligned to. The image on the pieces do not change after the box has been opened. Recorded images on SCP-226 are as follows. A bloated corpse, sinking underwater. A set of gallows with several nooses attached. A person screaming, with hundreds of small spiders crawling out of his mouth. A darkened window, with a mutilated hand scraping across it. SCP-682. A human figure completely covered in various insects, such as bees or centipedes. The cross section of a coffin buried in dirt, with a person inside, slamming her fists on inside of the lid. When completed and taken back apart, the lid of SCP-226's box will fly through the air and secure itself back on the lower half. The puzzle pieces will disappear, presumably returning back into the box. SCP-226 will then become unaligned, and align itself with the next person to open the box. Additional notes. SCP-226 was first discovered by now defunct Mobile Task Force F-12. At the time, the Task Force was investigating reports of a possible SCP in a series of tunnels, underneath a church in the city of Data Expunged. Due to an equipment malfunction, MTF-12 had lost communication with the surface, and was stranded within the tunnels until repairs were made. The Task Force discovered SCP-226 on a wooden table within a stone room, surrounded by several chairs. Believing it to be a simple puzzle, MTF-12 decided to open SCP-226 to pass the time. When depicted, SCP-226 depicted the exact scene of MTF-12 sitting at the table working on a puzzle. However, Agent T appeared to be viciously stabbing several other members of the Task Force with a standard-issue combat knife. The puzzle was taken apart, transporting back to its box. Repairs were soon made, and MTF-12 returned to the surface. Note, regrettably, an accident en route to the surface caused the death of Agent T. Item Number SCP-232 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-232 was to be kept in a locked safe in the Cognito Hazard Wing of Site 73. When not in use for testing, its batteries are to be removed. When batteries are not installed, SCP-232 may be handled safely by any authorized staff member. The foundation is to monitor online auction houses and dealers of vintage toys and acquire any products of the same model as SCP-232 for testing and disposal. Any other instances of SCP-232 discovered are to be archived appropriately. When batteries are installed, personnel other than D-Class are not to handle SCP-232 for any period longer than necessary to install and remove batteries. Staff members who have been exposed to works in the Jack Proton franchise in any format are not to handle SCP-232 for any period of time while batteries are installed. D-Class carrying SCP-232 for testing purposes are to be monitored at all times and terminated if SCP-232 related behavior should pose a security risk. The copyright, publication, and merchandising rights of the Jack Proton novels and all spinoff media are to be held by Springfield Crown Publishing, a foundation front company for the purpose of keeping the works out of print, thereby preventing activation of anomalous properties in any SCP-232 instances that may exist outside containment. In the event of any public occurrences of SCP-232 behavior, the foundation shall liaise with local law enforcement authorities to recover the artifact and issue Class A amnestics to affected parties as appropriate. The foundation shall encourage world governments to enact extensions to international copyright law as necessary to prevent the Jack Proton franchise from lapsing into the public domain. In the event that any Jack Proton franchise material becomes public domain, DDOS techniques and or mass deployment of Class A amnestics is authorized as appropriate. Description SCP-232 is a mass produced children's toy of early 1950s manufacturer composed primarily of tin and a battery powered electric light apparatus with an exterior painted to resemble a laser gun of the type featured in popular science fiction of the early 20th century. A hinged section at the base of SCP-232's handle opens to accept two standard AA alkaline batteries. When the batteries have been installed correctly and the trigger is pulled, a small red electric light in the barrel lights up. SCP-232's cognition affecting properties become active. Whenever SCP-232 is picked up and held or carried by a human being while it has working batteries installed. Within 5 to 30 seconds of picking up SCP-232, the person handling it will begin speaking in English, regardless of any previous fluency with the language or lack thereof. In a manner resembling the speech patterns of preteen and or adolescent American youth culture, circa 1920 to 1960, persons so affected will deny that anything is unusual about their manner of speech and will insist that they have always spoken thusly. This behavior continues until approximately 15 to 20 seconds after the test subject is induced to relinquish possession of SCP-232, after which speech patterns return to normal. In test subjects that have had no exposure to any works from the Jack Proton franchise, SCP-232's effects do not continue past this stage and the subject retains no memory of their behavior while under its influence. Patent information embossed on the handle of SCP-232, a historical analysis of non-anomalous artifacts identical in appearance, indicate that SCP-232 is a mass-produced atomic zapper toy produced by the World Corporation from 1953 to 1958 as a licensed merchandising tie-in to Jack Proton, Space Cop, a series of young adult science fiction novels by American author M.K. Snyder. Approximately, units were manufactured and sold during the toy's production run, of which an unknown quantity remain in existence today. The foundation has acquired 138 units since containment of SCP-232 began, all but three of which have shown no anomalous properties under testing. Thorough examination has indicated no discernible differences between anomalous and non-anomalous units. The Jack Proton series, consisting primarily of 15 novels and several dozen short stories written between 1940 and Snyder's death in 1973, revolve around the eponymous Major John Patrick Jack Proton, an officer of the Galactic Police Department in a 27th century setting where the human race has colonized the entirety of the Earth's solar system. The setting is typical of early 20th-century juvenile science fiction and relies heavily on soft sci-fi depictions of space travel, common in literature of the time, including the existence of intelligent life on planets within the solar system, a breathable atmosphere on the Moon and other heavenly bodies, faster-than-light travel without relativistic complications, and sapient artificial intelligence in computers based on vacuum-tube technology. The novels were additionally adapted into a nationally syndicated radio program from 1947 to 1952, a television series aired by the NBC network from 1953 to 1954, and a black-and-white movie released to theaters in 1956. The Jack Proton franchise bears no demonstrable anomalous properties itself and may be read, viewed, or listened to safely, provided that the person doing so does not come into contact with SCP-232. In subjects who have previously read, watched, or listened to any installments of the Jack Proton franchise, SCP-232's secondary effect begins to manifest after approximately 90 to 120 seconds of physical contact with the toy. During this stage, the test subjects' memories and personality are radically altered, to the extent that the subject believes him or herself to be a resident of the fictional 27th century setting of the Jack Proton novels. Test subjects in this stage refuse to answer to their given names, and will, during interviews, describe life stories and career experiences of life in the 27th century, which are internally consistent with themselves and with canonical details about the setting, often describing themselves as close associates of Jack Proton or other major characters featured in the franchise. Polygraph examinations given to test subjects in this state have consistently indicated that the test subjects believe these accounts to be true. In the third and final stage of SCP-232 exposure, occurring approximately 30 to 45 minutes after first contact, test subjects begin to experience severe sensory hallucinations, to the effect that they now perceive the world around them to be the fictional setting of the Jack Proton franchise. In this state, test subjects almost invariably believe that they are members of Jack Proton's Junior Action Squad and have been assigned a mission of utmost interplanetary security, which researchers and security personnel of the Foundation are involved in or are attempting to prevent them from completing. Though attempts to neutralize Foundation personnel with SCP-232 have invariably proven futile, test subjects have been noted to resort to physical violence on occasion. Persons affected by the later stages of SCP-232 exposure will resist any attempts to remove SCP-232 from their person and, if separated from it, will attempt to recover it by any means available to them. Effects of the later stages of exposure wear off gradually over a period of approximately 3 to 6 hours after SCP-232 is removed from the subject's person. In approximately 20% of tests involving long-term exposure, test subjects have retained memories of their artificial persona after dissipation of the effect, resulting in cognitive dissonance and associated psychological impairments. SCP-232 came to the Foundation's attention following the arrest of a retired steelworker for disorderly conduct, following an affray at a shopping mall. Subject, who insisted on referring to himself as Space Cadet Max Mars, was taken into custody after confronting several mall patrons and brandishing SCP-232, demanding to know the location of the Phobos Ruby, an artifact the theft of which from the Martian Museum of History drives the plot of the novella Murder on the Io Express. During debriefing prior to amnestic therapy, subjects stated that he had owned one of the toys as a child and had been a fan of the series and purchased SCP-232 from an online auction site for nostalgic value, because he had had so much fun playing cops and aliens with it in his youth. Interview Logs All interviews conducted by Dr. J. Andrews. Test subjects had no exposure to the Jack Proton franchise prior to their acquisition by the Foundation. All interviews conducted three hours after initial exposure to SCP-232.

bet he loves a girl who knows how to dress up Item number SCP-258 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-258 is to be kept at a standard storage vault with a key card locked to be accessed only on approval from the supervisor of Site 15 SCP-258 is to be stored in a 2 meter by 2 meter basin which is to be emptied twice a week by approved D-Class personnel All personnel interacting with SCP-258 are to be rotated no less than twice a month While using SCP-258 is not directly harmful in any way All who have utilized it have expressed a desire to do so again ranging from the wistful to the vehement All personnel interacting with SCP-258 are to be screened for underlying mental instability After Incident 2581 Cleaning personnel are to be issued light hazmat suits while interacting with SCP-258 Description SCP-258 was recovered from Main after parents of local school children reported that stories of a sad bouncy frog their children had been spreading were true Agent F confirmed the nature of the object and Foundation personnel replaced it with a replica without incident SCP-258 appears to be a simple bouncing playground rider seemingly designed to fit children of elementary school age and shaped like a stylized green frog with rotating handles on either side of its head SCP-258 has milky white eyes with what appear to be streams of white paint running down its face as though it were weeping Numerous attempts have been made to remove this substance from SCP-258 The green paint comes off with normal paint removal techniques but the white substance or after designated SCP-258-1 cannot it only fades with time observed to depend on various factors including length of time utilized in the extent of the emotional burden relieved SCP-258 constantly appears to weep streams of SCP-258-1 at a constant rate of approximately 0.12 liters per hour when a subject sits on SCP-258 grasps its handles and begins rocking back and forth they report that a feeling of peace and contentment watches over them the eyes of the object then begin leaking SCP-258-1 at an accelerated rate relative to the effect it has on its user's state of mind though this substance cannot be removed from SCP-258 once the seat is vacated it remains in liquid form during use and will drip from the object onto the ground Testing of this material afterward has determined it to be a mixture of plain white paint human tears and skin secretions of the American bullfrog how SCP-258 generates SCP-258-1 is unknown the direct effect of SCP-258 only lasts for as long as the subject remains seated though several subjects suffering symptoms of chronic depression have reported a lasting positive effect resulting from some insight they gained while riding SCP-258 repeated use of SCP-258 by a subject has shown to be mildly addictive and Agent W had to be restrained and struck before regaining self-control the results of allowing mentally unstable subjects access to SCP-258 is unknown pending further testing though it is likely that any subject suffering from severe depressive symptoms would cause SCP-258 to produce uncontrollable amounts of SCP-258-1 addendum 258-1 after D-3354 committed suicide following repeated skin contact with SCP-258-1 the direct effects of contact with the substance were reexamined continuous skin contact with the fluid appears to transfer some of the emotions suppressed during use of the SCP and the prior user was re-evaluated revealing she was recovering from data expunged Item Number SCP-282 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-282 should be kept in a containment locker outfitted with a standard array of explosive, chemical biological and memetic high level defenses personnel entering SCP-282's containment must be verified with a retinal scanner and no experimentation sessions lasting longer than 3 hours permitted Description SCP-282 is a children's toy recovered from the truck atoll in Micronesia SCP-282 is in the shape of a set of devil or juggling sticks apparently made from locally available materials Historical and cultural sources show that SCP-282 was originally used by natives of its island of origin as part of an elaborate annual ritual known as He Moves to bring good luck for the following year numerous anomalies on the island alerted the foundation to SCP-282's presence including exceptionally long harvest seasons several unknown species of fruit growing locally and reports by missionaries of strange lights and noises and packs of children who appeared identical Full research on SCP-282's properties is pending Addendum 282A Cleanup operations in the truck atoll have recovered large amounts of information including a nearly complete set of use instructions for SCP-282 Operations in the atoll will be reduced and despite apprehension from teams assisting in recovery of SCP-282 Full testing as to whether anomalous properties can be recreated will continue Addendum 282B Personnel of level 4 or above may view incident report 282CB As of Any attempts to recreate the effects of SCP-282 are punishable by termination All remaining information is to be classified Data Expunged Addendum 282C Materials seized from a residence on the truck atoll resembled an incomplete replica of SCP-282 As the replica seemingly in the process of creation demonstrates no anomalous properties it has been added to SCP-282's containment until such a time as we can ascertain its nature Foundation operated coercion revealed little information as to how or why it was created but did indicate that more civilians in the area of recovery may know how or be interested in creating similar replicas Whether the recovered replica is identical to SCP-282 is unknown Incident report 282CB Personal log of Dr. J. Garrison Date undisclosed Attempts to recreate the ritual described in documents 282-17 are slow going mostly due to the exhausting requirements of using SCP-282 First of all it took us half a week to find anyone at the site who can actually use juggling sticks For reference, researcher M. Munoz a medical technology analyst was ultimately chosen as the subject Second SCP-282 are apparently very difficult to use compared to ordinary juggling sticks so we had to spend a few weeks working on that Third and most persistent and annoyingly the instructions we have call for the subject to juggle with SCP-282 constantly for 36 hours with a low rate of error and no dropping the stick and that's the reason it's taken us two months so far They can talk about dedication and project funding and results but the stamina required is damn near superhuman It's been suggested that we apply an intravenous drip of caffeine and electrolytes to maintain alertness and I'm willing to try that Hour zero Subject stands in a 10 meter by 10 meter blast chamber that has been prepared according to recovered instructions among other preparations Subject stands in the center of a 1.5 meter diameter circle marked with native flowers with a goat's head at the interior point Surrounding this circle is a 3 meter circle marked with a mixture of goat and chicken entrails mashed by hand with wooden implements Outside of this is a final 3.5 meter circle marked with chicken feathers chicken and goat footprints and ash and a poultice of several herbs One chicken skeleton and one goat skeleton have been laid around the room outside the perimeter of the final circle The subject, medical technician M. Munoz with attached intravenous drip stands in the center with SCP-282 Subject begins to use SCP-282 Hour one Subject continues with no major errors in play or reports of anomalies Vital signs are all normal 6 hours already He hasn't dropped it yet I'm very hopeful that this time will be it I watched through the plate glass get nervous every time he fumbles every time It's gotten a little ridiculous I'm worried it might be an effect of the SCP so I told the standing guard but I think it's more stress than a mental pull going to call a secondary observer in and sleep on the cod in here Woke up and he's still going Note Instruments and testing chamber showed that subject's heart rate had increased slightly by this point in time Hour 18 Subject notes sounds of laughter from inside the testing chamber Outside observer notes nothing abnormal Hour 23 Subject becomes increasingly paranoid claiming that the experiment won't work and asking if he can stop Encouraged to continue juggling and at no point does the subject drop the stick and hypothesize to be a stress reaction Hour 26 Subject claims to feel a breeze in the chamber Signs of strong winds are apparent when animal skeletons outside the circles are moved as if being blown However, none of the flowers in the first circle are disturbed nor is subjects play impaired Hour 27 All lights in chamber abruptly dim In addition the outer circle appears to completely disappear from view Signs of wind despite the enclosed and subterranean nature of the blast chamber have increased Subject is encouraged to continue juggling Note Later records show no electrical issues with chamber lights hypothesize to be in effect of the SCP Hour 30 Subject reports feeling cold Senses affirm that the temperature inside the chamber has dropped 20 degrees Continues juggling I nearly can't believe he's kept it moving this long Obviously the error frequency was expected to go up as the time goes longer but he hasn't dropped it once and the error rate seems to have decreased like it's getting ingrained Here comes the final stretch Looks tired, I don't blame him Hour 32 Second circle moves as if being blown inwards then disappears entirely Subject makes no note of this After 10 minutes Animal skeletons around the perimeter of the chamber stand up despite lack of muscle or connective tissue Subject becomes unresponsive muttering quietly Hour 33 Final circle disappears and lights dim again until area inside chamber is completely dark Observers note a voice exclaiming He moves before sounds of juggling cease and a clattering noise is heard Class 2 down is ordered Note Further analysis through infrared camera reveals that at hour 3314 the subject's knees buckle and after muttering loudly before footage is interrupted by several bright flashes apparently only visible to infrared sensors During this time subject disappears entirely and SCP-282 falls to the ground Hour 34 Sounds of juggling resume from inside the chamber Note Infrared cameras show that a figure not corresponding to M-MUNOS appeared in the testing chamber recovered SCP-282 from the floor and continued juggling while laughing quietly Hour 35 Several more infrared flashes occur some of which now translate into flashes in the visible spectrum Containment chamber is very dark At 3528 hours side of containment chamber is ruptured by a sudden heat measuring over degrees Celsius Camera footage shows the unknown force proceeding to destroy obstacles in its path via obliteration moving up an emergency stairwell damaging stairwell but without compromising it structurally At ground level it proceeds to carve a route through the facility until the perimeter of sight is reached at which point it is no longer seen All of the above take place within seconds Nearby personnel report seeing only a bright hot light Note Camera footage shows that upon compromising the perimeter of the facility the force paused for several milliseconds then disappeared as opposed to exiting the facility Infrared footage from the testing chamber shows that it is completely empty at this time Within several seconds light in testing chamber returns to normal Subject has returned to testing chamber collapsed on the floor with SCP-282 nearby as if dropped In addition, a fine layer of ash covers the testing room floor Paramedic teams rush in Subject is currently undergoing treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and is expected to resume normal operation shortly After action report From interview with subject M. Munoz I'm... I'm juggling, right? I just tell... whole day then everything picks up like I'm standing in a hurricane and I feel this thing don't even know what it is but it was there and I could... Christ everything went black and I knew that I had moved that I was somewhere else because I knew there wasn't a floor or ceiling or those goddamn sticks where I was just... nothing really goddammit I knew it that there was something else there even though I couldn't see or hear or feel it because there was nothing to see or hear or feel it was just waiting there keeping me there waiting for me to do something I curled up in this little ball tried to make it not notice me but it was there breathing down my neck the whole time in the end I just told it I wanted to leave that was it Additional data Overworked in property damage was caused by incident 282-CB and containment of three separate SCPs were compromised because of this current sanctions on experimentation with SCP-282 were put in place Item number SCP-297 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-297 is to be kept in a standard lockbox at Site-19's high-value item storage facility Standard positive action defenses explosive chemical biological and memetic are to be in place at all times according to standard operating procedure personnel wishing to utilize SCP-297 for experimental or field purposes must fill out a form 32 and submit it to the head of research and containment Description SCP-297 is a transparent plastic vibrator approximately 30 cm in length 5 cm in width Examination is determined that the internal structure has been heavily altered and that the standard 6-volt power supply has been converted into what appears to be a micronized nuclear reactor powered by a small quantity of plutonium In addition the standard power intensity controls have been altered from the normal on-off switch with secondary intensity dial to a single 5 stage selector switch the bottom 4 intensity levels off, low, medium, high appear to be within normal parameters for such a device and can be used safely for such purposes if so desired When turned to the highest intensity setting labeled Suicide SCP-297's vibration frequency swiftly increases to upwards of 200,000 kHz If the upper portion of the device is touched to any solid material SCP-297 will change frequency to one that causes a positive harmonic feedback loop in the object causing the object to lose cohesion within 60 seconds of continual contact This invariably kills organisms that it is exposed to Experimentation has determined that SCP-297 can disintegrate a 1 meter cube of concrete into powder within 10 seconds The time required for other objects varies based on the density and harmonic properties of the material Due to the similarities between the effects of SCP-297 and SCP-1012 Investigation into whether both effects of variations of the same phenomena are ongoing Addendum Circumstances of retrieval SCP-297 was retrieved from the third basement of the parking structure of a 30-story apartment building in Los Angeles, California on According to eyewitnesses the device bored a vertical hole through the entire building's northwestern corner starting from the 30th floor and proceeding floor by floor through the entire structure until a maintenance worker neutralized the device by turning it off All witnesses were detained and administered Class A amnestics and the device was retrieved by Foundation personnel A large quantity of organic slurry later identified as a liquefied human body was found on the 30th floor at the upper limit of the damage Item number SCP-309 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-309 is currently stored in a secure glove box in the Level 2 Research Lab at Site- Routine physical examinations of SCP-309 as well as experiments involving small animals may only be conducted using the glove box Removal of SCP-309 from the glove box for testing on larger animals or humans requires the approval of Dr. or equivalent Level 4 Command Personnel Everything is restricted to D-class personnel Description SCP-309 is a small plush stuffed animal that looks as if it has been turned completely inside out Golden-orange fur is present along the seams while a small amount of cotton stuffing and two protruding eyes are visible on the head The interior of SCP-309 is understuffed with cotton giving it a flexible and cuddly feel SCP-309 has no effect on inanimate objects However, contact with living subjects is both dangerous and life-threatening Humans and animals lightly brushing SCP-309 with a finger or a similarly small portion of the body display severe non-localized discomfort for tens of minutes afterward Humans also report feeling extreme nausea despite the fact that SCP-309 does not induce vomiting The discomfort and nausea are so overwhelming that even the most hardened subjects have proven unable to voluntarily maintain contact with SCP-309 for longer than a few seconds If SCP-309 is pressed firmly against a subject or the subject quickly picks up SCP-309 in attempts to hold it the subject will be violently and painfully turned inside out over the course of 5 to 10 seconds Skeletons are unaltered but all soft tissues are inverted such that muscles tendons ligaments and various internal organs are resituated on the exterior of the body Though not immediately fatal the process is irreversible and universally considered painful Item number SCP-345 Object Class Safe Procedures SCP-345 is to be kept inside a secure vault at sight Seeing as the object is inert by itself no further containment is necessary Personnel seeking to solve SCP-345 need the permission of one level 2 personnel SCP-345-1 is to be kept inside a 5 meter by 5 meter by 5 meter sealed room on sight SCP-345-1 Personnel are only allowed to solve one of the 6 faces of SCP-345 Trying to solve all faces will result in reassignment to MTF Epsilon-8 The Midwives Description SCP-345 is a stone cube whose faces are each divided into 9 squares of equal size and sections of which can be rotated in a fashion similar to a common puzzle toy Each face of the cube measures 5.7 centimeters Instead of the normal 6 colors commonly found in this kind of puzzle the squares represent 6 different materials an intrusive magmatic rock resembling granite an intrusive magmatic rock resembling gabbro an extrusive magmatic rock resembling basalt a sedimentary rock resembling sandstone volcanic glass resembling obsidian and a high grade metamorphic rock resembling granite nice SCP-345 can be opened by forcibly pulling its sides apart The cube is hollow, possessing a circular cavity 4.5 centimeters in diameter in its center If left open for 5 seconds SCP-345 will automatically close and shuffle itself for 2 minutes Afterward, it may be safely handled Note that it will not be possible to force SCP-345 open after the shuffling takes place Solving SCP-345 is no harder than solving the common versions of the puzzle However, if one of the faces becomes complete, one of the following situations may occur If the completed face represents one of the magmatic rocks SCP-345 will heat up to approximately 1500 degrees Celsius gabbro face 1200 degrees Celsius or 900 degrees Celsius granite face The amount of time SCP-345 takes to cool down also greatly varies with the basalt face being the fastest up to 50 minutes and the gabbro face being the slowest up to 250 days If the completed face represents the sedimentary rock the cube will start shaking violently for up to 10 hours The sound of either water running or wind howling can be heard coming from inside SCP-345 during the whole process If the completed face represents volcanic glass SCP-345 will heat up to approximately 900 degrees Celsius and will take up to 5 minutes to cool down If the completed face represents the metamorphic rock SCP-345 will suffer the same granite face was completed After cooling down the cube will proceed to shuffle itself at high speeds making loud grinding sounds while it does so for up to 50 hours After one of the processes is over SCP-345 can be opened again and a sculpture made of the same material that was represented by the completed face can be found inside of it The small sculpture will always be of a planet or planetoid with a diameter of 1 cm These sculptures do not resemble any currently known planet If more than one face is completed at the same time Both corresponding processes will occur one followed by the other The statue created will be made of both materials For instance, the sculpture created by completing the granite and obsidian faces at the same time had its continents made of granite and its oceans made of obsidian SCP-345 was recovered by a foundation agent on date undisclosed days after the eruption of the Re-Volcano in Ecuador said agent claims to have founded near the base of the volcano and took it as a curiosity He learned about the true nature of the SCP after trying to solve it suffering third degree burns in the process Incident 345-1 On date undisclosed while Dr. Re-Tested SCP-345 she managed to complete all faces by not opening the cube once a face was completed SCP-345 proceeded to rumble for three minutes after which it opened by itself A small metal sphere 4.5 cm in diameter emerged from inside SCP-345 and hovered three meters from the ground Shortly after the sphere began rotating to a rate of 5 meters a second Strong gravitational forces were detected in the vicinity of the sphere visibly affecting objects up to 15 meters away Seconds later a dense orange liquid with an average surface temperature of approximately 4000 degrees celsius began flowing from SCP-345 which proceeded to encompass the metal sphere Afterward another denser liquid began flowing out of SCP-345 It also proceeded to encircle the sphere This liquid continued to flow from inside SCP-345 until the sphere reached a diameter of 2.3 m at which point the flow stopped and SCP-345 automatically closed The resulting sphere was still slowly spinning and hovering above the ground It was extremely dense and its gravitational pull was strong enough to severely damage its surroundings The temperature at the surface varied between 900 and 1600 degrees celsius 30 minutes later parts of the outermost magma began to cool down solidifying into a thin rock crust 20 hours later most parts of the sphere were solid rock with small seas of lava flowing between them Little volcanoes and mountains could also be observed At this point a special containment team with heat resistant equipment was moved in to relocate the sphere to a safer room The sphere was later designated SCP-345-1 Studies regarding the probability of its eventual development of an atmosphere are underway Note Although at first we thought that SCP-345 had created a copy of Earth as of date undisclosed Studies have shown that it is unlikely that SCP-345-1 will develop an atmosphere The composition of its magma is very different from Earth's containing far smaller quantities of silica and aluminum and larger amounts of titanium It is currently unknown if the magma of other planetoids created by SCP-345 would have a similar composition Perhaps we should have a D-class completed preferably on an open field Dr. Item number SCP-365 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-365 is to be kept in its testing pool at all times The door to the pool is to be locked and guarded by one security guard Experiment requests must be approved by a level 3 researcher Description SCP-365 is a green pool noodle made of polyethylene foam It displays no unusual properties and is physically identical to a typical noodle of similar size SCP-365's unusual properties manifest only when it is placed in a body of water When a subject completely submerges in said body of water they become unable to get out Subjects report a sense of dread and describe themselves in an infinite sea swimming endlessly in a direction in finding only more water It is important to note that to outside observers the subject simply seems to be flailing in place The only way to remove a submerged person from the water is to remove SCP-365 negating its effects All other methods of rescue have failed Cables and ropes have exhibited an unnatural resistance and snapped drainage systems have failed and human intervention has led to data expunged Addendum 365-1 SCP-365 was discovered in on date undisclosed Retrieval personnel found it at the public pool along with the bodies of several civilians Because SCP-365's properties were unknown at the time agents lost their lives SCP-365 was eventually found and removed from the pool and carbon monoxide from an improperly maintained water heater was used as a cover story Addendum 365-2 on date undisclosed Researcher discovered that hallway 19 of storage site 23 was flooded Said researcher noticed water leaking from SCP-365 storage locker at a rate of 5 liters per minute She quickly notified Dr. who opened the locker to find SCP-365 producing water from its holes SCP-365 was subsequently moved to its testing pool where upon the flow of water stopped SCP-365's containment procedures have been changed accordingly Item Number SCP-385 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-385 is locked within a standard fireproof container in storage site 23 Experimentation with SCP-385 requires written approval from any level 4 researcher After the incident outlined in Report 385-C all further testing must take place in a facility located within 5 degrees of either of the earth's poles Description SCP-385 is a waste-mounted harness crafted from heavily antiquated leather and brass A curled electrical cord connects a handheld push button switch to the mechanism mounted on the front of the harness which itself contains a superfluous set of interlocking gears and colored LED light bulbs The harness has sustained significant impact damage A damaged engraving on the front of the mechanism reads Special Edition 3 of Eligible and Eligible by the Factory also retrieved with SCP-385 or a cardboard storage box and instruction manual Both the box and manual feature a retro art style reminiscent of 1950s science fiction pulp illustrations The manual describes the harness as a personal anti-gravity field generator and contains simple illustrations in the proper use of the device When operated according to instructions SCP-385 does create an energy field that counteracts the influence of outside gravitational forces upon the device and an individual wearing or holding it as well as neutralizing their inertia Measurements of velocity and direction with high-speed video cameras tentatively indicate that inertia is neutralized relative to the sun as the inertial frame of reference Research to duplicate this effect is ongoing, but the mechanical components of the device appear unfunctional. The harness will still produce the anti-gravity effect even when all mechanical components beyond the activation switch are removed Addendum Except under strictly controlled conditions use of this device is invariably fatal due to the speed of the Earth's rotation and revolution around the sun An individual removed from both the Earth's gravitational pull and momentum would either be flung into space or experience a fatal collision with an object blocking their trajectory, which will at least result in the device's deactivation to allow for retrieval SCP-385 was recovered from the room of a 13-year-old boy shortly after what appears to be its first activation It is unknown how many other SCP-385 mechanisms may still be at large, or how large the production run was Interviewing the deceased boy's parents traced SCP-385 to a downtown antique toy store where the device was purchased as a novelty The store was found to be abandoned and had not been occupied for some time Downtown residents do not remember the shop ever being open Item number SCP-387 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures Due to the nature of this object it does not exist in harm it poses It is stationed in a storage container in Site-19 with a standard lock The red tub in which SCP-387 is contained does not possess any unusual properties itself as has been determined through testing but SCP-387 will not duplicate itself unless at least a layer of it covers the bottom of the aforementioned container A sheet is available for those wishing to utilize SCP-387 and access will be revoked if it is not properly restored Description SCP-387 is a tub of commercially available Lego normal in design Irregular shapes not featured in normal sets such as circular wheels and prisms are also available It has no brand name and every company interviewed by undercover agents thus far has denied ever making a regular Lego When the tub is not full i.e. when it is partially or almost fully emptied the Lego will slowly duplicate themselves stopping when the container is full The interesting property of SCP-387 is that when constructed by a human hand see addendum 387D the constructions will animate themselves performing activities based on their surroundings For example, if a Lego man which is a man constructed using the provided humanoid parts is placed within a car it will begin to drive it Further experimentation has revealed that the car and indeed any complex machine needs no internal engine or power source The Lego people have some form of sentience as they interact with each other quite readily If left over time the constructed people in buildings will evolve They will take on occupations based on the buildings around them For example, some people will become firemen and use fire trucks if the corresponding objects are there They will also use SCP-387 to construct more things to expand their society Humans can interact with them quite peacefully but if a human becomes hostile to them they will immediately cease all activity and become inanimate SCP-387 was found in February of 2000 by Agent H During a long train ride back to the city he lived in Agent H idly constructed a man from SCP-387 which was in the seat beside him at the time Several seconds later it became animated Agent H quickly disassembled the man and delivered the item to Site-19 for analysis where it now remains The security tapes from the train were confiscated and destroyed before they could be reviewed Optional information SCP-387 should not be given to children under the age of 10 especially if the aforementioned children are influenced by cartoons and television shows Experiment 387A A small community of SCP-387 is formed in a testing chamber A plane constructed from normal Lego was placed to the side of the community Over the next three hours the following changes were observed Several Lego men procured some equipment from SCP-387 heading over towards the plane With incredible efficiency the Lego men constructed what was, for all intents and purposes a working airport the specific pieces having been supplied by SCP-387 without visible signal A petrol tank zoomed over to said plane apparently filled it with fuel despite earlier observations that vehicles constructed from SCP-387 do not require fuel and the plane proceeded to literally take off flying around the room at low speeds and altitude, seemingly to avoid crashing More planes of different make and design were formed soon after Addendum 387-1 Judging by this I'd say that constructions of SCP-387 have some form of understanding of the surrounding environment and they are able to convert existing Lego to 387 Dr. Arch Experiment 387-B Several young children were given SCP-387 and were given instructions to use their imagination The children who had their memories of this experiment removed began constructing various objects After having noticed that they were animate they excitedly conferred and began building several objects that they intended to use in battling each other These included a transformer an M1 Abrams tank and several expunged The children were instantly removed at which point the creations began to fire and eventually destroyed each other though not after considerable effort Addendum 387-2 How the f*** did these children gain knowledge of the workings of an M1 Abrams tank no less expunged I'm not responsible for cleaning out the mess those things make If anyone is stupid enough to let children go at SCP-387 I am not recommending an upgrade to Euclid as the constructions did not fire whilst in the presence of humans This has been tested with adults and proved just as correct Dr. Arch Experiment 387-C The red tub that contains SCP-387 is emptied of Lego commercially available Lego is then placed in the tub for a minute constructed objects are inanimate and remain so SCP-387 replaced It is noted that the Lego placed within the tub also did not duplicate itself Experiment 387-C-2 A single block of SCP-387 is placed within the red tub It does not replicate More of SCP-387 is added until the bottom layer is covered at which point it began to replicate itself quite rapidly until it had been filled The amount of SCP-387 removed from the tub continued to work Similarly when an amount of SCP-387 higher than the tub's capacity was placed upon the tub it shrank until the red tub was fully filled Addendum 3873 It appears that the red tub itself has no abilities by itself but SCP-387 will not duplicate itself unless in that particular tub Perhaps this is a copyright mechanism that stops copies of 387 being made Further experimentation needed Dr. Arch Experiment 387-D A robotic arm was used to construct a car out of 387 It did not animate This test was repeated with a human hand at which point the car animated as usual A dead hand from a recently dismembered agent was used to no response The hand was then heated which still provoked no response Addendum 3874 It appears that 387 responds to a pulse or some other detection of human life Dr. Arch Addendum 3875 This SCP has been in high demand for extended use as further testing has revealed no more anomalies or features In the personnel tested SCP-387 has improved morale and attitude by 87% People are really kids at heart here As such I'm recommending that all personnel be given free access for recreational use Dr. Arch Request Approved Experiment 387-E Once a normal community of 387 was constructed a small mound of megablocks A common copy of Lego was placed near the community When this happened everything constructed of 387 stopped moving turned slowly towards the megablocks and expunged Addendum 3876 Jesus f***ing Christ Dr. Arch Lesson complete
