 Good afternoon. For those who are new, I'm Dr. Theron Sherman, and in today's briefing, we will be discussing SCP-5287. There isn't any objectionable material in this document, so let's begin. Item Number SCP-5287 Classification Level 2 Restricted Containment Class Euclid Disruption Class Vlam Risk Class Notice Special Containment Procedures Researcher Grude is to remain under Foundation surveillance at Site 228 as long as SCP-5287 continues to manifest. Description SCP-5287 is a phenomenon that occurs when Researcher Grude willingly inhales smoke either from a cigar or a cigarette. Once the smoke, hereafter referred to as SCP-5287-1, has been exhaled, it will typically form into various words and short phrases and start to float in the air in front of Researcher Grude. Upon physical interaction, instances of SCP-5287 are as malleable as non-anomalous smoke and dissipate easily. Notable SCP-5287-1 instances SCP-5287-1 did not manifest as usual. Instead, a small cloud of smoke traveled down to the lit cigarette and remained in place until it was put out. This marks the first instance of SCP-5287-1 not manifesting as a word or phrase. SCP-5287-1 manifested as a small cloud of smoke again, which moved toward Researcher Grude's eyes and caused him to wave it away, putting out his cigarette with the movement. Incident 5287-1 During an experiment, the following SCP-5287-1 instance manifested. Sorry. During this test, Researcher Grude blew more smoke from his cigarette. Instead of forming a phrase, SCP-5287-1 took the form of a human arm and broke Researcher Grude's right index and middle finger, in which he held his cigarette. To prevent future incidents, experiments with SCP-5287 are discontinued, and Researcher Grude has been assigned to visit the on-site psychiatrist weekly to help him quit smoking. Additionally, Researcher Grude has been supplied with a vaporizer pen to help curb his smoking habit. Thank you for listening. Site 42 studios and its staff are funded by viewers like you.
