 Item number SCP-027 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures The host of SCP-027, currently subject 027-02, is to be kept in a 5 meter by 5 meter containment cell, with a graded raised floor connected to a strong vacuum system. All creatures removed from the subject's containment cell are to be incinerated, except for a small portion, to be diverted for analysis at necropsy. The cell is to be cleaned and inspected for structural damage daily. Subject 027-02 must be monitored by at least two personnel at all times. Any unusual behavior, or vital signs on the part of the subject, or the appearance of any unusual species in the subject's vicinity, must immediately be reported to level 4 personnel. Every personnel assigned to SCP-027 must be inoculated against all known animal-borne pathogens, and must be armed with tranquilizer guns, with standing orders to subdue the subject if the need arises. Until SCP-027 is better understood, no personnel level 4 clearance or higher should approach within 200 meters of the subject. Description SCP-027 appears to be a phenomenon of unknown source that seems to be tied to one human subject, currently 027-02 at a time. As host to SCP-027, subject 027-02 is constantly surrounded by swarming vermin that are drawn to his location. The subject does not appear able to assert control over these creatures in any way, and is in fact prone to occasional attacks from feral specimens. These creatures have also been known to attack personnel who approach too closely. Wherever the subject goes, an initial swarm of flying insects such as gnats and flies will start to form a circle around him, usually within 2-3 minutes. Shortly thereafter, crawling animals including lice, cockroaches, worms, spiders, mice and rats will begin to appear. The longer the subject remains in a location, the more vermin will gather there. When the subject leads a location, some of these creatures will follow, but most will disperse. SCP-027 has been known to transfer between host ones upon the death of the first known host, SCP-027-01. See Appendix 1 for more information. Since SCP-027 could likely repeat this feat upon the death of Subject 027-02, all high value personnel should be kept far away from the current host, until more about SCP-027 is understood. SCP-027 has also likely transferred between host an unknown number of times before containment. Research into potential previous host is commenced, with preliminary evidence suggesting that SCP-027 may have existed for at least ██ years. Appendix 1 – Timeline of significant events April ██-1990 Subject 027-01 is discovered in an abandoned warehouse outside ██ that had been completely overrun by rats, cockroaches and other vermin, and is contained and catalogued as SCP-027. The subject is described as a Caucasian male in his late 30s, of average height but gaunt, filthy and covered in bites and scratches. The subject also shows symptoms of degraded mental health, evidence of heavy use of alcohol and illicit drugs, and signs of prolonged sleep deprivation. October ██-2000 Subject expires Autopsy shows more than 70% of the subject's body, a colony of rats nesting in the subject's abdomen, for at least ██ generations. October ██-2000, between 140 and 150 hours after the subject's death, security officer ██ reports being awoken by breathing problems due to a large housefly having crawled up its nose, later shown to have laying eggs. Subsequent observations led to categorization of Officer ██ as Subject 027-02. The original host is reclassified as Subject 027-01, and SCP-027 is redefined. Transcript of Interview 027-201 The following interview was conducted on October ██-2000, shortly after Subject 027-02 was identified and transferred to the containment cell that had house Subject 027-01. Good morning, Officer ██. How are you feeling? Scared. Confused. Mostly scared, though. Understandable. And itchy. I feel like I need to shower all the damn time. Ah, but what about, um, inside? Do you feel anything different inside you, like a presence? No, I don't think I do. I haven't really noticed anything like that. You haven't felt anything different since the original host died, besides the itching? No, I can't say I have. What about any sort of voices, or compulsions? No, I haven't felt anything except bugs crawling over me. I feel dirty and scared and… Doc, what about my family? You gotta get this thing out of me so I can see them again. Of course. We're going to do everything we can to get 027 out of you. God, uh, I'm sorry. Note, shortly after this interview took place, Dr. Javison and several other members of the research team for SCP-027 were transferred to the SCP-1772 project. Level 4 slash 4511 classified. Item number SCP-4511. Pending. Special Containment Procedures. The factory SCP-4511 resides in, has been purchased by the Foundation, and designated for Visional Site-4511. MTF-P1, City Slickers, have been assigned to manage containment and security of the object. All organic matter which has exited SCP-4511 is to be returned inside, regardless of living or deceased. Well served notice. As of writing, research on the SCP-4511 is still ongoing. Some errors may be present. Description SCP-4511 is a large mechanical construct located in the basement of Danforth Meatpacking, a disused meatpacking factory in Chicago, USA. SCP-4511 externally resembles a domestic pig, measured approximately 15 meters by 25 meters by 20 meters at its widest point, and is constructed of iron, which has become heavily oxidized following several years of improper maintenance. SCP-4511's primary entrance point is a large blast furnace and a constant state of activation, despite being disconnected from all fuel lines and ignition sources. SCP-4511's left flank contains a thin 5 centimeter long slit that, upon certain conditions being met, will print an index card carrying a series of instructions. The ██████ factory was initially raided by Foundation agents, embedded within the Chicago Police Department, in response to reports of occult activity in the area. They encountered heavy resistance from a group of occult worshippers who had taken residents in the basement. MTF-9, fire eaters, were dispatched to lend support to the Chicago Police Department. Of the forty-seven cultists that had previously inhabited the factory, only one survived their injuries for more than seventy-two hours. While the individual was treated for their injuries, Foundation personnel began studying SCP-4511. The following card was discovered left within SCP-4511. Current demand, a flock of my own, satisfied. Every twelve hours, SCP-4511 produced another copy of the card. On 124-65, the last surviving victim of the raid on the factory was pronounced deceased. At the same time, SCP-4511 produced a new punch card. Current demand, the metal teat that endlessly turned, period, one week. The SCP-4511 research team requested to conduct experiments on the object, which were initially denied by lead researcher Weskeran, but later overruled by regional director Caleb. Test logs. Test 1, demand, the metal of the suffocating prison. Resources, fifty-seven pieces of scrap iron, scavenged from within provisional site 4511. Procedure, gears thrown into SCP-4511 individually. Results. The metal crunching persisted for two minutes and three seconds. Three hours after the test, all gears in provisional site 4511 underwent a rapid oxidation process, rusting significantly. SCP-4511 itself remained unaffected. Test 2, demand, oil to slick in my frozen joints. Resources, three 200-liter drums of machine oil, transported from Site-12. Procedure, drums were thrown into primary orifice. Results, low-pitched gurgling heard for thirty-eight minutes before the remains of the oiled drums were expelled. SCP-4511 then began to shake violently for four minutes. A large amount of rusted scrap iron and two domesticated pig femurs were then expelled. Test 3, demand, two of my children, made of my image, made in flesh. Resources, two adult domestic pigs, sexed pair. D-98123-SSD and D-98124-SSD Procedure, both subjects forced into SCP-4511's primary orifice. Results, subjects passed through first layer of fire unharmed, obscuring them from view. Five seconds later, high-pitched squeals were heard, ceasing after twenty-five seconds. For forty-seven minutes afterwards, a low-pitched gurgling was heard emanating from SCP-4511. Test 4, demand, the hooks used to hang my children's corpses. Resources, seventeen neat hooks, found within provisional Site-4511. Procedure, hooks were thrown into primary orifice. Results, metal crunching with her within twenty seconds and persisted for eleven minutes before a spherical metal object was expelled at high speed, terminating Agent McHenry. McHenry's body was then thrown into the primary orifice. Test 5, demand, a canine, first I consume his best friend, then him. Results, one German Shepherd, D-197231-CLF Procedure, subject tranquilized and forced into primary orifice after managing to exit twice. Results, yelping heard for approximately twenty-seven minutes before the subject was expelled through the primary orifice. Fifty-five minutes later, seven projectiles exited SCP-4511 at a high velocity. Procedure examination identified a projectiles to be teeth, specifically six molars, dog, and one canine, human. Test 6, demand, a worker for the line. Resources, D-023492, deceased due the natural causes. Procedure, subject within thrown into the primary orifice. Within four seconds, SCP-4511 emitted loud crunching noises before it roughly ejected D-023492. Subject was extremely disfigured due to heat damage and repeated blunt force trauma. Upon dissection, subject was found to be lacking several internal organs. Test 7, demand, a worker for the line. Resources, D-023547. Procedure, due to non-compliance, subject was forced into SCP-4511 using electric shock prod. Results, screaming heard for approximately two hours. Thirty-four minutes after the test, a liquid mixture of human blood, pig urine, machine oil, and rust began leaking from various points across SCP-4511. This persisted for 46 minutes before it roughly ceasing. The human portion of the liquid was a genetic match for lead researcher Western. Test 8, demand, a youth to grow into factories. Resources, D-023492, deceased due to non-compliance, subject was forced into SCP-4511 using an electric shock prod. Results, test 9, demand, fuel for my internally burning fire. Resources, 450 kg of refined coal, bound within Provisional Site-4511. Procedure, coal was manually shoveled in the primary orifice by researchers Mathias and Gilroy. Results, blamed within primary orifice grew by approximately 60%, terminating researcher Mathias and injuring researcher Gilroy. Provisional Site-4511 then began to shake violently for three hours and twenty-two minutes. Fifty-five minutes after the shaking began, groaning was heard below SCP-4511. Test 10, demand, the false foreman, delivered to my ma to prove your faith. Resources, lead researcher Western. Procedure, subject incapacitated using a 9mm bullet to the left thigh and moved to SCP-4511's entrance. Subject could walk midway through test and began to tip to the bargain with researchers. Results, lead researcher Western consumed by SCP-4511, screaming heard for approximately four minutes and 17 seconds before ceasing. Any Incident-4511.1 for further details? Incident-4511.1 Eight hours following the reception of Test Report 10, regional director Caleb authorized MTF Epsilon-11, nine-tailed box, to raid Provisional Site-4511 after reports of possibly compromised site security. A transcript is attached. MTF Body Camera Video Log Transcript Date, May 13th, 65 Task Force, MTF Epsilon-11, nine-tailed box, subject, Provisional Site-4511, Team Lead, Epsilon-1, Team Members, Epsilon-2, Epsilon-3, Epsilon-4, begin log. Safety's off, sound off on my count, one, two, three, four. Team enters the factory single file, guns raised. No sign of research team on the main production floor, descending into basement. Proceed with caution. Team crosses the factory floor to the freight elevator and enter. Three, time to earn your keep. Yes, sir. Epsilon-3 moves to the electrical box of the elevator and attempts to pull it open. After a few seconds of pulling, he succeeds in opening the cover. The interior of the fuse box is revealed to have been sealed to the door with a layer of waxy material. Is that… fat? Ugh… probably from years of disuse. I don't think anyone was cleaning it even when this place was still open. Three, can you get it working or do we have to throw ourselves down, limiting style? Yeah, I should be able to rig something up real quick, give me a second. Epsilon-3 spends several minutes interacting with the fuse box. With the lurch, the elevator begins slowly dropping. Well done. Unless they somehow move the thing, SCP-4511 should be somewhere on the floor. This is free, though we prefer it if at least a couple were brought in alive. Roger is that… The elevator reaches a stop and the overhead light shuts off. Three, was that you? I didn't touch the lighting fuses, that's something else. Doesn't matter. Four, get over here and help me open these doors. Epsilon-1 and Epsilon-4 work together to open the cargo doors of the elevator. The entire lighting system for the lower floor shut off. Flashlights on, they're creeping about here somewhere. Team advances onto the catwalk and continuing silence for two minutes until Epsilon-2 pauses. Jesus fuck three, did you piss yourself? What? No. We're walking in it. Epsilon-1 gestures to the catwalk floor and a shallow puddle of yellow liquid covering it. I'm gonna be, I think I'm gonna bomb it. God that's… who the fuck does that? The team is interrupted by a drop splashing onto the puddle. They raise their weapons and flashlights to reveal a fleshy growth attached to the ceiling, a hull from which is leaking into urine. Keep moving, what are you guys, make sure you're looking at it. The team continues forward, Epsilon-4 bringing up the rear to keep a view on the growth that continuing silence for another four minutes, descending a stairwell. We're reaching the basement floor. Command is unintelligible. They're cutting off, repeat, we're reaching the basement floor, sound off, one, two, three. Silence. What the fuck is four? I… she was just next to me. Did we go back to look for her? Yeah, get ready. The team retreats up three flights of stairs, Epsilon-4 is splayed out on a landing, unconscious. Two, on it. Epsilon-2 begins applying first aid to Epsilon-4, who has a large wound in her right thigh. Epsilon-4 slowly regains consciousness. I don't know what happened, one minute I was behind you guys and the next I'm clutching my head here. Active hostile entity in the area, possibly anti-mimetic, can you walk? N-no, take your gun and shoot anything that isn't us, we'll be back, I swear. The team returns down the stairwell, reaching the bottom and spreading out. The floor is largely covered in various furnaces. There's something up ahead. The entrance to SCP-4511 is visible at the end of the room. A large pile sits next to it. Upon closer view, the pile is comprised of several white-coated bodies, all suffering from extreme exsanguination. A figure sits on the floor next to the pile. Hands up, now. The figure stands up, wearing the uniform of a researcher. A large burn scar stretches across his right cheek. He is clutching something in his right hand. Whatever's in your hand, drop it. Whatever you think you can do to me, it's nothing. Nothing compared to what it can do. What's it? The individual gestures behind him, seemingly at SCP-4511 and the pile of corpses. I took their oil to feed it, and I'll take yours too. I'm giving you five seconds to sit the fuck down before I blow your brains out. You can't win. If you kill me, it wins, and you'll never let it win, because you've had it so drilled into you that it is r— Absalon-2 terminates the individual with a single shot to the head. A rumbling sound emanates from SCP-4511. Absalon-3 advances and inspects what the individual is holding. A small clump of bloody flesh and a scrap of paper. Meet from those who seek to do in my faithful. Absalon-3 picks up the piece of flesh and throws it into SCP-4511. The flames roar. What the fuck? Why did you do that? I don't know. Come on. We've got to get Bohr. She won't last long as she is. The team re-ascends the main stairwell to the location Bohr was sitting in. Bohr is unmoving, her gun beside her. Fuck! Check for a pulse. Absalon-2 shakes his head. Nothing. Christ! One! What did we do? Absalon-1 sighs. Only thing we can do, head back up. We terminated the threat, and Director Caleb's is outside with the emergency rest con team. Let's go then. We need to back up the cleanest place out. End log. Document-4511.1. Under the unforeseen circumstances, the current containment and research team for SCP-4511 are no longer in the position to do their duties. Until further notice, I will be removing myself from the Regional Director position in order to take the position of lead researcher on the SCP-4511 project. This anomaly is more dangerous than we originally gave it credit for, and it led to the deaths of 24 people. I refuse to let that happen again. Regards, Lead Researcher Caleb. Incident-4511.2 Two hours following Incident-4511.1, SCP-4511 produced a punch card before ceasing all activity. In-depth examination of SCP-4511 revealed no remains of any subjects or alternative fuel sources that could have been used for the flames. First demand, a flock of my own, satisfied. Item number SCP-1155 Object Class Keeter Special Containment Procedures SCP-1155 is currently contained in a disused parking lot adjacent to an abandoned shopping center in the ███████ City metropolitan area. The building is to be marked condemned, and access to both it and the car park should be restricted by Foundation personnel posing as security guards from the ███████ front company. Civilians are to be deterred from entering the site and supplied with standard cover Story-47, structural instability, sinkhole, if they inquire as to why. SCP-1155 must be kept under constant observation by motion tracking security cameras. If SCP-1155 is observed to vanish, Mobile Task Force P1, City Slickers, should be notified immediately. Personnel should not routinely attempt to view SCP-1155 directly. Observation must be conducted remotely. Whatever flat surface that SCP-1155 is currently inhabiting should be obscured from view by any standard Class-2 enclosed mobile containment unit, or in situations where this cannot be affected in a timely fashion by obstructing it with a vehicle, storage container, or displaced rubble, provided that this can be done without damaging a 3-meter area around SCP-1155's image. Following Incident-1155-B, it has been observed that completely enclosing SCP-1155 has a tendency to hasten a relocation event. These procedures now recommend the evacuation of the immediate area surrounding SCP-1155 to the minimum distance necessary to prevent contact with the general public, unless SCP-1155 manifests in a high visibility location, or anywhere where preventing public egress is impossible. At the present time, SCP-1155 cannot be permanently contained by any known means. Approximately every two to four months, SCP-1155 has been observed to spontaneously relocate itself to other urban environments, moving as little as 15 meters from its current position, up to a maximum observed distance of 800 kilometers. These relocation events can also be triggered by damage to the surface that SCP-1155 adheres to, interruption of an attack, any attempt to reduce the size of SCP-1155's confinement space to prevent visual contact. Therefore, current containment efforts are centered around swiftly ascertaining SCP-1155 new location, and isolating it from public view. When such a relocation event occurs, Mobile Task Force PY-1 should be immediately deployed alongside local assets to locate the new site as quickly as possible, reimplement containment procedures, and detain any witnesses. Survivors of attacks should be detained. Uninjured witnesses may be administered Class-A amnestics and then released. Description SCP-1155 manifests in the work of street art, or graffiti, depicting the form of a humanoid creature with sinewy forelimbs, claw-like hands, and the head and feathers of an owl. The depicted pose is variable, but tends towards a predatory stance, with eyes that appear to attract a viewer. Upon viewing this image directly will experience a compulsion to investigate it further. Victims describe a nervous fascination and a desire to move closer. This can be resisted with effort, especially if the subject is aware of SCP-1155's anomalous properties. If a subject approaches to within two meters and is not in the line of sight of another person, they will be subjected to a violent attack, suffering severe lacerations, dismemberment of extremities, whole or partial removal of soft-body parts, and penetrating head trauma consistent with those that would be inflicted by a large beak and or talons. The attack generally takes about six seconds to conclude, upon which both SCP-1155 and the victim will vanish, and SCP-1155 will reappear elsewhere in the usual manner of a relocation event within seven days. Victims can be halted before this event by re-establishing line of sight to the victim, but this is not recommended. See record of incident-1155-A. Attempts to track where the victims are taken by equipping test subjects with GPS locators have failed. Based on tested interruption performed at predefined intervals, the attack follows a defined pattern. The victim will first be restrained, and the eyes and tongue will be removed, rapidly followed by the amputation of the hands and feet. The victim will then be disemboweled, and the intestines and stomach removed. Death usually follows due to shock or rapid exsanguination, but only if the attack is interrupted by visual contact. The fate of victims who disappear along with SCP-1155 at the conclusion of the attack is unknown. 2 surviving Class-D personnel used for attack interruption tests were given medical treatment and kept alive in the aftermath of the event. Both were incoherent, and could not adequately communicate what had happened to them. Though D-897-H6, whose eyes were removed during the attack, claimed to still be able to see, and provided a description of a larder containing bodies of previous victims of SCP-1155 along with the entity itself. D-897-H6 escaped from on-site quarters during a containment breach by SCP-███ and was pursued by local law enforcement nearby who were told he was a severely disturbed patient from a local mental hospital. Officer ██████ reports they saw the suspect walking into an alleyway, but before they could apprehend, a scream was heard, and when they rounded the corner, it was found that D-897-H6 disappeared, the alleyway with a dead end with no visible exits. D-897-89, both eyes, tongue, hands and feet removed before attack halted, was successfully transferred to site ████. A period of rapid relocations was noted in SCP-1155, where it was observed in several public places with a posture that suggested hunting or tracking behavior. SCP-1155 appeared for several hours high up on the side of the ████ building in full view of many witnesses who fortunately could not access it. In view of the difficulties of containment, Site Command made the decision to bring D-897-89 back into the city. SCP-1155 was observed to appear several times on walls, advertisement boards, and bridges along the transport vehicle's path. D-897-89 was observed to become increasingly agitated and hysterical during this process. D-897-89 was transferred to a remote location on the edge of city limits, placed in front of SCP-1155, whereupon visual contact was broken. SCP-1155 and D-897-89 disappeared, and SCP-1155 resumed previous pattern of manageable relocation behavior. Incident 1155-B Elements of Mobile Task Force P1 located SCP-1155 in abandoned subway station after most recent relocation event. Team Leader ████ made the decision to obscure SCP-1155 with a vending machine until more containment resources arrived. On the basis that there were not enough Task Force members on site to guarantee a secure perimeter, and local transients were known to use the area for shelter. SCP-1155 immediately displaced to a nearby children's playground, causing ████ casualties before it could again be located. Due to highly public nature of this location, decision was made at command level to again provoke a displacement event, resulting in the current containment location. Containment at the current location was expensive, requiring that an entire shopping center be acquired by the Foundation, and then subsequently closed. But the revised containment procedures have resulted in the longest time since a relocation event to date. The last few containment locations may point to a disturbing trend. Previously, SCP-1155 seemed to have a pattern of appearing in low-traffic urban areas, often abandoned buildings or quiet underpasses. At risk of anthropomorphism, it appears to have become emboldened, and will now readily appear in public spaces, which makes containment difficult. Whatever the objection to the containment team, leave the damn thing uncovered. Better we lose a few urban explorers or nosy kids every couple of years, rather than risk it having abduct more people before we can locate it each time. Dr. ████, Item number SCP-589 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures SCP-589 must be contained within a sealed, reinforced container that is welled as shut. Under no circumstances does SCP-589 to be removed from its container, physically contacted, or even seen. SCP-589 and its container must sit on a scale, so that it may be continually weighed to confirm SCP-589's presence. SCP-589's containment cell may only be accessed by Level 4 personnel, and must be guarded by at least two Level 4 security personnel, with 24-hour surveillance. Under no circumstances is SCP-589 allowed to leave its containment cell. Any personnel attempting unauthorized entry or removal of SCP-589 will be terminated. Should containment be breached, then the entire sector SCP-589 is held in must be immediately purged via demolition charges or incendiary devices. Any personnel assigned to the sector that managed to escape must be questioned and then immediately detained for psychological screening. In the event that SCP-589 must be handled without the protection of the container, the only personnel authorized to handle SCP-589 must be cleared by Foundation Psychologists and must have a psionic resistance index of 30 or higher. Once their task is complete, all personnel that have handled SCP-589 must submit to a mandatory psychological screening. Description SCP-589 is a stuffed animal that is able to change its appearance based on the subjective desires of the first person to come into contact with it. SCP-589 has the ability to create a calming, soothing sensation within anybody who sees or come into physical contact with it. This ability appears to be memetic, as it is able to spread via copies of itself as well as pictures depicting its likeness. However, the effectiveness of these copies is directly proportional to the quality of the product. The calming effect of SCP-589 in parts is not unlike the use of narcotics, as it stimulates the areas of the brain that are responsible for feelings of relief and euphoria and encourages the production of chemicals and hormones that reduce stress. However, this effect quickly becomes addictive, with the infected individual becoming completely dependent on SCP-589 after extended exposure. Once addicted, an individual's interaction with SCP-589 or any of its copies borders on complete obsession, and they are compelled to create more copies of SCP-589 and attempt to spread them. However, what makes SCP-589 dangerous are its actor effects. After a certain period of time, SCP-589 will immediately vanish. SCP-589, any of its physical copies, and all versions of it imprinted in electronic media will completely disappear. This sudden and massive disappearance of SCP-589 results in catastrophic consequences where those infected by SCP-589. Without SCP-589 to keep them passive and calm, infected individuals will mainly suffer a variety of severe withdrawal symptoms, including, but not limited to, manic depression, psychosis, heightened aggression, uncontrollable despair, dementia, mania, paranoia, and various other behavioral disorders. It is not known how or why SCP-589 does this, though there is speculation that SCP-589 feeds off the mental anguish it causes to those completely obsessed with it. Once the process is complete, SCP-589 will reappear at another random location and repeat the cycle. SCP-589 was tracked down and contained after the Foundation received a string of mysterious reports of villages and towns in rural areas being found with their entire population dead, apparently having slaughtered each other in a massive and violent riot. The Foundation began tracking these incidents, but could not determine their cause until Dr. Boe's discovered a pattern in the targeted areas. Using the data Dr. Boe provided, the Foundation managed to intercept and contain SCP-589, though several personnel had to undergo rigorous psychological treatment to counter the effects of SCP-589. Currently, SCP-589 has not attempted to leave its containment area, which has led researchers to hypothesize that SCP-589 follows a very specific life cycle pattern. Infection Pattern After various experiments on test groups consisting of D-class personnel, SCP-589 appears to be solely targeted at individuals with severe insecurities or those suffering from high amounts of stress. Infection rates on subjects whose psychological profiles suggested that they were susceptible to high amounts of stress or low self-esteem showed a 90% infection rate, while subjects with little to no stress and high self-esteem only suffered from a 12% infection rate. This confirms Dr. Blank's initial hypothesis that SCP-589 targets areas with high numbers of people that are easy for it to infect. Sentience Hypothesis It is a real possibility that SCP-589 may in fact be a sentient creature, rather than an inanimate object. Study of SCP-589's movement patterns correlated with data about its infection patterns suggest that SCP-589 deliberately controlled where it appears at the beginning of every cycle. However, we need more data and experiments in order to confirm this. Administrative Note Due to catastrophic loss of containment during experiment 589-05 resulting in incident 589-40, SCP-589 has been permanently kept in a secure container. Any request to remove SCP-589 requires O5 level clearance, O5- Item number SCP-274 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures Any buildings found to be infected with SCP-274 are to be reported immediately to a superior, and the leader of Mobile Task Force Pi-1, City Slickers. MTF Pi-1 is to incinerate cases of SCP-274-1 and secure the infected buildings by performing a quarantine with a 1km radius under the guise of the local police and fire department. MTF Pi-1 is to terminate any cases of SCP-274-2 through the use of high pressure fire hoses. Insisting on entering an instance of SCP-274-1 are to be detained and have one class be amnestic administered. Any apparatus used to contain or handle SCP-274 should either be incinerated or entirely composed of metal or glass and washed thoroughly immediately after use. The cover story for a containment breach of SCP-274 should be gang-related arson. SCP-274 is a paint of variable color. Buildings inflicted with SCP-274 appear to have large amounts of graffiti covering the sides of the building, and often have large disturbing designs to them. See Addendum 274. While its consistency is at a normal paint, its composition reveals it to be 28% hemoglobin, 12% gastric acid, and 60% common components consistent with Kryolan brand spray paint. When SCP-274 is applied to a wall, it will begin to spread until it has covered the wall in any other wall attached to it. When SCP-274 is applied to a wall, it will begin to spread until it has covered the wall in any wall attached to it. SCP-274 is unable to spread on metal, glass, and horizontal surfaces. While SCP-274 spreads on buildings, it will convert the interior of a wall into a large messa glia, the interior walls into a gastrodermis, and the exterior walls act as a protective shell and epidermis. Buildings coated entirely with SCP-274 will become cases of SCP-274-1. SCP-274-1 exhibit signs of life, react to stimuli, and behave in a manner similar to many species of the anthazoic class. Buildings converted into SCP-274-1 lure passing civilians by emitting noises from inside SCP-274-1. Sounds of glass breaking, loud coughing, or pain whimpers have all been reported from D-Class personnel. It is currently unknown whether SCP-274-1 or the SCP-274-2s are responsible for this behavior, as the noises stop immediately upon entry. Typically, civilians will either call the police or investigate the noises themselves. As subjects search inside SCP-274-1, they will be recognized as spued by instances of SCP-274-2, if any are present. When a victim enters a room inside SCP-274-1, barred in the entryway, they will immediately be suctioned into a gastrovascular cavity, belonging to SCP-274-1. Later processing them into SCP-274, at one instance of SCP-274-2. Specimens of SCP-274-2 are organisms composed of SCP-274 that appear as men or women wearing a gas-mask or respirator, along with a bright pastel-colored hoodie. SCP-274-2 is able to support its heavy weight by its thickness and density in its membrane, which consists of 45-50% of the mass of SCP-274-2. SCP-274-2 act as nebitosis for SCP-274-1, and can disguise themselves by merging into the walls. This is done by heavily compacting themselves and implanting itself into an interior wall, safe for their mask, which flattens around the wall and disguises itself as standard graffiti. This behavior is proven to be a means of ambushing food for SCP-274-1, and will only react when it detects something it considers a food source. SCP-274-2 possess a hinged operculum that ejects SCP-274 located in the right hand. This operculum looks identical to a normal spray can, and can project SCP-274 in a similar manner. SCP-274-2 will attempt to spray SCP-274 into the eyes and mouth of its victims in an attempt to incapacitate and encapsulate them. This method of attack is shown to be very painful, and will blind and numb the victim from the neck down. Once tagged, the victim is placed into a gastrobascular cavity, resulting in a new SCP-274-2. SCP-274-2 are able to duplicate themselves while inside an instance of SCP-274-1, and will produce one new SCP-274-2 every 24 hours. Most 12 SCP-274-2 specimens reside inside one SCP-274-1. Further cases of SCP-274-2 will leave SCP-274-1, and find a new building to spray with SCP-274, while avoiding any people they may encounter. Once a building at least 2km away from another SCP-274-1 is found, the SCP-274-2 will spray SCP-274 onto the building until it has completely dehydrated itself of SCP-274 and dies, resulting in another instance of SCP-274-1. If left unchecked, it is estimated that SCP-274 could cover a large city within 20 days. Addendum 274, Date Found, Appearance, January ██, 2001 SCP-274-1-1 is painted and resemble a large bus with the number ██ on its side. The front of the bus has been replaced by a human-like base, and the back is on fire. Bus patrons all look towards the front of the bus and do not seem to react to the fire. April ██, 2006 SCP-274-1-2 is painted a look as if it's crumbling apart. At the base, people are illustrated to be running away from SCP-274-1-2, and a face can be seen forming from the falling rubble. March ██, 2010 SCP-274-1-3 depicts a beach with three sharks in the water, and several people running from the shore. This scene is illustrated behind a large cartoon tiki statue, which takes up most of the front of SCP-274-1-3. August ██, 2011 SCP-274-1-4 illustrates what is presumed to be Noah's Ark at sea. The creatures boarding the ark do not match any known species. The ark is depicted to have a face with several sharp teeth, and eyes devoid of pupils or irises. November ██, 2011 SCP-274-1-5 depicts several figures in level 3 biohazard suit at the base. Figures are seen fighting each other for what appears to be a bottle of hand sanitizer. Several cadavers are piled on top of one another in the background, with a large green cloud in the shape of a canine-like face emitting from them. This face is shown laughing, presumably at the people fighting. July ██, 2012 SCP-274-1-6 is painted to resemble a mausoleum, with a large human skull painted on its front. Illustrated at the base of SCP-274-1-6 are figures suffering from advanced stages of rigor mortis. Most notable is that several figures appear to be wearing the standard-issued tactical armor distributed by MTF-PIA-1. August ██, 2012 SCP-274-1-7 is decorated with the scene of MTF-PIA-1 setting SCP-274-1-7 on fire through the use of Molotov cocktails. A large depiction of SCP-274-2 can be seen attacking MTF-PIA-1. August ██, 2012 Operatives dead as a result of a large mob of SCP-274-2, numbering between SCP-274-2 Level 1 slash 5907 classified Item ██, SCP-7907 Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-5907 is held within modified Safe Storage Locker 58, at Site-51. The unit is bidded with a smoke detector, and if at any time the alarm activates, The locker is to be flooded with water. A total of 21 individual articles of clothing are folded and stored within the locker. Further testing of SCP-5907 has been deemed unnecessary. Description SCP-5907 is a 19th century oil lamp comprised of a small oil chamber and a wick consisting of hemp and cotton. Igniting the wick causes SCP-5907 to emit trace amounts of fluctuating Akiva radiation. After approximately 30 seconds, SCP-5907 starts releasing smoke, with inhalation causing transfiguration of human tissue in the synthetic cotton-like material and calcium-heavy biomatter such as bones into aluminum. There is no known method of terminating the transmutation. On February 23, 2020, the Foundation received a police file containing information on severely mutated human corpses, including several photographs. Foundation agents were deployed to the residence where the corpses were located, which was still under police investigation. SCP-5907 was discovered due to its abnormal levels of Akiva radiation, detected by investigators GATT. General announces devices. It was located in the room of William Corbin, the son of the residence's owner. The bodies of William, Veronica, and Fresco Corbin were all located in the room. A video file was also recovered from William's personal computer. Began log. Okay, it's February 19th, and I picked up this really cool lamp from a pawn shop down on Wilson Avenue. William holds up SCP-5907. Now, the guy there said this thing is a real deal genie lamp. William turns SCP-5907 to reveal his underside. See here? It says, lead by Strauss 1840. According to the guy at the shop, lead by Strauss himself used this to become successful. I believe in the supernatural, but this seemed almost too good to be true, so I couldn't pass it up. William sets SCP-5907 down on the small table in front of the camera. So all I've got to do is light the lamp. He uncovers the wig and lights it. Rub it three times, and I don't know. I guess just wait for the genie. The lamp begins producing smoke from its spout. Holy shit, I can't believe! William begins coughing as the tendril of smoke forces his way down his throat. The smoke detector in William's room begins beeping as William collapses to the ground, clutching his chest. The skin on William's fingers, nose, and neck begins to peel, revealing a blue fabric underneath. William cops out blood mixed with a fibrous white substance. The door to the room opens. Oh my god, Fresco, get in here! William moves to the side and opens his mouth to speak. Sometimes the bloody cotton fibers fall from his open mouth. Two tendrils of smoke are seen drifting off screen. Help! What the fuck is going- Two thuds can be heard as the coffin turns to gas for air. Dozens of zipper elements are pushed out from the corner of William's eyes. Also known as zipper teeth. After 30 minutes, William's entire epidermis is peeled away and has been replaced with denim fabric. One hour after the transfiguration was complete, SCP-5907 self-extinguishes. End log. Cover story TT-31, Carbon Monoxide leak, was enacted to explain the deaths of the Corbin family. All three corpses, as well as SCP-5907, were relocated to Site-51. All mentions of the corpse's mutation were removed from police records, and all emergency responders were amnesticized to remove memories of the incident. The investigation team attempted to locate the pawn shop described in the video, but public records indicate no such store has ever existed in the area. Incident Report On March 25, 2020, the three corpses were being moved from Biohazard Observation Chamber 3, to the permanent storage location in Safe Storage Locker 59. While being lifted, the corpses shed their outer layers, which formed a total of three denim jackets, six denim gloves, three pairs of denim pants, six denim socks, and three denim gimp masks. Aside from their creation, the clothing is non-nomeless. Underneath the corpse's layers of clothing were only skeletal remains and cotton stuffing. The Corbin family skeletons were incinerated, and a remaining clothing had been folded and stored with an SCP-5907's containment locker. Level 3 slash 4059 classified Item number SCP-4059 Euclid Special Containment Procedures Provisional Site-144 has been constructed around SCP-4059-1, under the guise of a branch of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, NJ-DEP, BISH, and Wildlife Office. Any civilians attempting to enter the vicinity of SCP-4059-1 are to be turned away due to the area being a protected habitat of a population of cretallosporidus, Timber Rattlesnake. Presently, one instance of SCP-4059-2 is being held in a standard Type-C containment cell at Provisional Site-144. The instance is to be provided with fresh water from SCP-4059-1, replaced monthly, and is to be fed one live pig every three months. Should more instances of SCP-4059-2 be discovered, MTF-New 5, Cabin Fever, is to be dispatched to contain the entity. Any person that has witnessed or has been attacked by an instance of SCP-4059-2 is to be administered Class-A amnestics and released. SCP-4059-3 is to be stored in a safe deposit box at Provisional Site-144. Under no circumstances is Procedure-4059-Kemos to be performed. Description SCP-4059 is a collective designation for a series of anomalies centered around the Pine Lands National Reserve in New Jersey, USA. SCP-4059-1 is a 30-meter radius circular freshwater reservoir located in the center of a 330-meter radius circular clearing located west of the town of Leeds Point, New Jersey. Early encircling the reservoir are six abandoned single-room cabins, estimated to have been built within the last 150 years. A mass grave was uncovered by Foundation archaeologists along the westernmost edge of the clearing. The grave site was found to contain the assorted remains of an estimated 72 infants, many exhibiting severe physical deformities. The reservoir and its constituent structures are non-anomalous, unless two compatible subjects attempt to perform procedure 4059-Kemos. SCP-4059-2 are bipedal herceene creatures that exhibit numerous deviations from non-anomalous goats. Notably, SCP-4059-2 entities are approximately two meters tall on average, with functional chiropractor and wings protruding from the shoulder blades, anthropoid forelimbs terminating in hood claws, prominent incisors, vestigial anthropomorphic mammary glands in the chest, and a thin, hairless forked tail. Like many species of non-anomalous goat, instances have a pair of large, caratness horns protruding from the top of their head and have a small, bearded waddle dangling from the base of the chin. SCP-4059-2 are adept predators, stalking and incapacitating prey with a bite to the throat. Instances have been reported to be able to move at speeds upwards of 90 km per hour, for brief periods of time in the pursuit of prey. SCP-4059-2 typically avoid human contact, but can become aggressive when trapped or provoked, and instances have been known to stalk and kill humans. As seemingly random intervals, SCP-4059-2 may return to SCP-4059-1 to drink. SCP-4059-3 is the personal journal of Jaffet Bartosiewicz, a Polish immigrant. The journal includes details about the founding and daily life as a resident of SCP-4059-1, as well as instructions as to the proper execution of Procedure 4059-Kemosz. Using the detailed accounts found within SCP-4059-3, Procedure 4059-Kemosz has been developed. Procedure 4059-Kemosz takes place in three main stages between two members of opposite sexes. Hereafter, Subject A will denote the biologically male participant, and Subject B will denote the biologically female participant. Stage 1 Stage 1 must take place on the first night of the first full moon of the year, and within the boundaries of SCP-4059-1. Subject A must gather 12 caps of any mushroom belonging to the Guinness Amonita, Deathcap, and arrange them circly equidistant around Subject B, who is to be lying in a supine position. Subject A must connect adjacent caps in a circular fashion using blood of any animal belonging to the Guinness Capra, domestic goat. Subject A must then use the blood to connect the caps in the form of a ritualistic seal that consists of four concentric, equilateral triangles that are offset from each other, with runes inscribed at the vertices of each triangle, as well as the center. The design of the runes can be found within SCP-4059-3 itself. Subject A must make a decision into each palm and across the upper chest of Subject B, and then do the same to himself. The subjects are to engage in sexual intercourse. If Stage 1 has been completed properly, Subject B will become pregnant regardless of biological fertility. Beginning immediately after Stage 1, Subject B must fast for the duration of each full moon under which they are pregnant, and may only eat during nighttime hours on such days. Defined as any time when the Sun is at least 15 degrees below the horizon. Each nocturnal meal that Subject B has during the full moon is to be accompanied with a mix of the blood of an animal of the Guinness Capra and that of Subject A. Each meal is to be prefaced with a prayer. A list of acceptable prayers can be found within SCP-4059-3. If performed correctly, Subject B will be pregnant for exactly 265 days, will begin cervical dilation at exactly 1800 eastern time on day 264, and will give birth after exactly 6 hours of labor. It is to be noted that this will always result in birth during the full moon. Stage 3 When Subject B first goes into labor, Subject A must stand at the edge of the reservoir at the center of SCP-4059-1 and recite various prayers for 3 hours. During the childbirth process, Subject A will act as the midwife, aiding in the delivery of the child, hereafter referred to as Subject C. In delivery, Subject A is to cut the umbilical cord and dial Subject C with the blood. Subject B, aided by Subject A, must immediately carry Subject C to the reservoir at the center of SCP-4059-1 and drop them into the water. Subject C must be allowed to drown in the reservoir. The completion of this step marks the conclusion of Procedure 4059-Kemosch, and the corpse of Subject C will undergo a violent physical transformation into a fully grown instance of SCP-4059-2 upon death. Any attempts to prematurely remove Subject C from the body of water will result in the infant's eventual death by pulmonary edema, and failure to accurately carry out Procedure 4059-Kemosch in any way will result in the severe disfigurement and eventual death of Subject C shortly after birth. Addendum 4059-2, a bridged entry span within SCP-4059-3, translated from Polish. April 12, 1894 Perhaps the elder to write, perhaps we should not have rejected the old ways and spat in the face of tradition. The gods must be laughing at us, laughing at me. How foolish was I to sacrifice the purity of my sacred blood for love? How foolish were my friends to do the same? One cannot laugh in the face of tradition, in the face of the blessing bestowed upon our people by the prophet Ion himself, and not expect retribution, and yet we have regardless. This cursed land is not one of prosperity, as we have been led to believe. The soil is next to useless. Nothing will grow in the harsh clay of the forest, nor in the dry sand of the beaches. All we can do to survive is hunt, fish, and trade with a nearby town for sustenance. This hardship I fear is our curse. Despite our transgressions, I believe such a debt can be paid, and being forsaken by those we love and cast out to this land, perhaps we can atone for our sins and begin anew by claiming this territory for the old blood. Even with impurity, it may please the vultists to begin anew, to root our ancient seeds here, such that we may flourish. Also referred to as Archons among Sarkites, in Sarket mythology, the Archons are six beings that act as primordial embodiments of chaos. Each Archons believed to have challenged Ion, with Ion's victory over these trials granting him transcendent powers. November 30, 1894 We have been trying for nearly a year now, but none of us have managed to conceive. I fear that our attempts to bring forth children of impure blood have insulted the desired one, a retribution for our impurity. I have brought attention to this plight four days ago and asked by Ken to ponder the situation. Today, I was asked if I remember the tales of the holy fleshweavers. The way that the elders talked about them, their ability to bend muscle and bone to their every whim through skilled lahook attack gave us an idea. Translation from Old Atatite, Fleshcraft My companion seemed to think that we can use those sacred rites to lift our curse and purify our lineage with sculpted progeny. Perhaps they are correct, we will have to discuss the matter further and consult what viewed text we took with us when we were forced into exile. January 11, 1895 It is done. Last night was the full moon, the first opportunity to test the blood promise. Each of us spent the night cleaning our wombs, questioning if this was worth it. It makes me wonder, should we even bother attending the Resurrect that which is dead? We have disappointed our families and spat on the graves of our ancestors with our betrayal of the blood. Would it not be considered hubris to assume that these sins can be forgiven? What right do we have as pariahs to assume the mantle of an emergent dynasty? Regardless, we shall find out soon if the gods see fit the blessings with children. February 26, 1895 It seems our prayers have been answered, and we may offer our heritage to the gods. Despite a plague of barren wombs, all of the women in our coven have swelled with life after the first implementation of the rites. There are powerful forces at work, and they offer us the chance to carry forth the legacy of our ancestors for years to come. October 3, 1895 The women have borne their children, and it has become clear that there is much work to do. The young ones were not powerful sorcerers of the lahookatat as was expected, but instead were broken and twisted husks. They died before taking a single breath, and so we have been left with nothing. Yet still, for the sake of fulfilling our promise to the gods, we must persist. We must amend the spells until we bear great and terrible children that may ascend to honor their ancestors as holy carcists. Transcription Note The next twelve years of entries detail proposed changes to procedure 4059 Kemosch, as well as brief descriptions of the results of the new procedures, leading to the thirteenth and final iteration of the procedure, Dr. Levy. October 9, 1908 The devouring must relish this day. When we were first blessed with children, I had foolishly thought that exile was a sufficient atonement for our sins, and now we have paid dearly for my presumption. The sacrament was successful, and it was our reckoning. How quickly our joy morphed into horror as the children emerged from the water as beasts who did not recognize their own kin. Their bodies stretched and twisted as they grew on natural features. Wings tore open the skin of their backs, and horns pierced their foreheads. Their faces stretched into goats, and their nails curled into the deadly talons. Each one let out a horrific shriek as they stretched out for the first time. Then they saw us standing there, frozen in shock and fear. The beasts slaughtered their own mothers with rabidus fury, and likewise turned on their fathers, and so I ran like a coward. I ran from my home, from my wife, and from my monstrous child. I ran from the sounds of tearing flesh and screaming demons. Transcription Note This is the last entry in SCP-4059-3. Foundation investigators have found records of a Jopet Bartosowitz that had lived in the town of Leeds Point in the years following those depicted in SCP-4059-3. It has been hypothesized that Mr. Bartosowitz integrated himself into the Leeds Point community and lived there for the remainder of his life. Dr. Levy
