 Item No. SCP-2106 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures All instances of SCP-2106-1 are to be kept within the multiple-subject aviary at Site-64. Instances are to be fed twice a day and individually examined for injury and general health on site over two weeks. In the event that an instance of SCP-2106-1 expires, it is to be immediately replaced by an additional specimen of corpus corax. In the event of an SCP-1505 outbreak, contaminated instances of SCP-2106-1 are to be immediately isolated and neutralized. The following items are to be left within the aviary for ease of interaction during the appearance of SCP-2106-2 instances. One pair of boots, one trench coat, one pair of gloves, one standard pad of paper, three black ballpoint pens. Description SCP-2106-1 currently designates a total of 40 specimens of corpus corax. Common Raven Individually, each instance is indistinguishable from non-anomalous specimens of the same species. The anomalous properties of SCP-2106-1 become apparent between the hours of 2200 and 0800 PST. During this time period, all instances of SCP-2106-1 will fall asleep before waking 15 minutes later to move to a central location where they form SCP-2106-2. SCP-2106-2 is a humanoid entity formed from the combined bodies of all available instances of SCP-2106-1. If provided clothing, SCP-2106-1 instances will form SCP-2106-2 within the articles, including filling such items as boots and gloves. SCP-2106-2 is fully sapient and has demonstrated fluency in English and the ability to communicate via both writing and mimicry of human speech. According to interviews, 2106-2 believes itself to be an individual named Jessica Bradley, a 45-year-old Caucasian female from Tillamook, Oregon, USA. SCP-2106-2 has been able to provide detailed accounts of his life with Ms. Bradley up to November 9, 2011, but has no knowledge as to how it came to exist in its current state. SCP-2106-2 has largely been cooperative with Foundation personnel to date. In the event that fewer than 25 instances of SCP-2106-1 are present at 2200, a minimum of 25 instances of SCP-2106-1 are required for SCP-2106-2 to successfully form. In the event that fewer than 25 instances of SCP-2106-1 are present at 2200, or if anyone attempts to remove an instance of SCP-2106-1 from the aviary, all instances of SCP-2106-1 will swarm. During the swarm events, instances of SCP-2106-1 have demonstrated remarkably collaborative behavior, including attempts to operate door handles, setting up rudimentary traps and bushes for Foundation personnel, slamming into observation windows en masse, scratching crude messages and images in the ground in English. Several instances of SCP-2106-1 that are removed from a 50-meter radius of all other instances lose their anomalous properties at 0800, following the dissipation of SCP-2106-2. Likewise, non-anomalous specimens of corvix-corax become instances of SCP-2106-1 when placed within 50 meters of SCP-2106-1 instances of the 2200. It is currently unknown as to whether SCP-2106-2 would be capable of warming again should all enter the 2106-1 be dissipated. Recovery Log SCP-2106-2 was originally recovered on November 15, 2011, from the private aviary at the residence of Jessica Bradley outside of Tillamook, Oregon, USA. Following viral footage of SCP-2106-2 walking along the Oregon coast. Upon investigation, Foundation personnel found the body of Jessica Bradley within her bed. A subsequent autopsy of Ms. Bradley revealed that the cause of death to have been an intracerebral hemorrhage. All original 30 instances of SCP-2106-1 were pets that have been kept by Ms. Bradley prior to her death. Addendum 2106-A, Interview Log 2106-1 The following interview was conducted as part of the initial containment of SCP-2106-2. Interviewed SCP-2106-2 Interviewer Dr. Daniel Essinger Forward This interview was done at the end of a standard mental health screening. During interviews prior to this screening, SCP-2106-2 revealed that it remembered the actions of a researcher who had examined several instances of 2106-1 during standard veterinary examinations. Begin Log All right, Jessica, before we finish this session, I have just one more topic that I would like to go over with you. Okay, what do you want to know? During our last interview, you mentioned several details you remembered about researcher Peros' veterinary inspection of one of the ravens that makes up your body. Would you care to elaborate? It's hard to explain. In the morning, I sort of feel like I'm falling asleep. Most of the time, I just black out, and the next thing I know, I'm awake again, and you guys are telling me that it's the next day. However, sometimes I dream. Or at least I think I'm dreaming. When I dream, I'm always a raven somewhere in this aviary. Go on. The thing is, usually the dreams aren't that exciting. I just kind of go with the flow. Act like I think a raven should. It's kind of nice, you know? It's like slowing your mind down and throwing your worries away. Everything just becomes so simple. That time it was different, though. That man grabbed me and looked me over. He poked and prodded me. It was awful. Just the worst feeling ever. I don't think I've ever been more terrified. Keep in mind I woke up one day to find out I was suddenly made of birds. Interesting. What? You are aware that the ravens that compose your body fall asleep before they form you every evening, yes? Wow, really? No, I wasn't aware. SCP-2106-2 pauses for several moments before continuing to write. Do you think they dream about being me? Can ravens even dream? I don't know, Jessica. Maybe? Maybe. End log. Addendum 2106-B Interview Log 2106-2 The following interview was conducted following several swarm events. Interviewed, SCP-2106-2 Interviewer, Researcher Roland Farrell Forward, this interview was done following a series of testing and observations on 2106-1 collectivist behavior during swarm events. Upon SCP-2106-2's appearance, it moved to the back corner of the aviary and entered the fetal position. Begin log. Jessica? What? What's going on? Everything alright? You have to stop doing that. I'm sorry, I don't follow you. Stop doing what? The swarms! Stop making them swarm, please! It's like a nightmare! Just fucking stop! I'm going to need you to elaborate a little more on that, Jessica. Why do we need to stop the swarms? What happens to you when we trigger those events? It's like having my mind pulled in a thousand directions. Only when 8AM hits I just dream that I'm one raven, it's nice, it's simple, it's safe. But this, it's not that. I get bounced around from one point of view to another, from one raven to the next. Each one is desperate and afraid, and searching for a way to survive. And every time I get moved around, those feelings renew. Each raven leaves a stain on my mind that I can't get out. I still feel their consciousness digging around the back of my head. They like being me. They like being you? They love it. I like being a raven, because it makes everything so simple. They like being me because it makes everything so complex. Every time you make them swarm, it's because they don't want to give it up. Please. I've done everything you have wanted me to do. I have always cooperated. Please. Don't do that anymore. I can't just make a promise like. All instances of 2106-1 composing SCP-2106-2 begin to croak loudly. All attempts at further communication with SCP-2106-2 by researcher Farrell are unsuccessful. The croaking continues until 0800. End log. Following the conclusion of this interview, all attempts by Foundation personnel to verbally communicate with 2106-2 have been blocked by 2106-1 croaking. 2106-2 has been able to successfully communicate via writing notes for Foundation personnel. Instances of 2106-1 have been observed destroying these notes and attacking personnel attempted to retrieve these notes following 2106-2 dissipation of 0800. As of November 25, 2012, a one-way dropbox has been installed in the aviary to allow for continuous communication with 2106-2 without further 2106-1 interference.
