Doing the Safety Dance

Keeping with the times

It was always like that. I grew up in a small village just south of Niznyj Novgorod, as third of four children. My mother always longed for how, before I was even born, we lived in a nice appartment Moscow, with my father working at the ministry. Then Chruscov came. "We got to think in new ways." he said, and so, my father ended up a deputy in the local soviet. Even that was probably thanks to my grandfather…

My grandfather was a war hero - lost a leg fighting the SS-men. When I was a boy, I wanted to be like him - tell jokes to a full pub or House of Culture, play folk songs on a harmonica. My class teacher once heard me talk about it with Sergej, so he took me off, and knocked on my forehead - "You got to think in new ways, Grigorij - the culture of tomorrow doesn't need drunken comics, and you are neither good enough, not with a right cadre profile to be taken to study acting." Well, so I did, and became a militionary.

What can I say.. Nights are long and cold, promotion nowhere… I somehow lasted through, and got transferred to the city. Life went better from then - the girls like a uniform, and there were some other things to do… until that one night. We got called in by some hag.. think she was a pensioned teacher… She claimed to see some youths carrying off half a pig, and in this time of shortage, sure must have… Ah well - we had a bit under our hats already… made a game out of who to send. . Six shots of vodka, two of kerosene, and a peg on the nose… needless to say, me and Fyodor weren't lucky. Ah well, thought we'd scare them a bit, and if it was really meat ,gonna bring some of it home and ask those fuckers where you can get it black.

At least she was good at describing.. we recognised the house outright. Belonged to a grandpa, thought those youngsters might be his family… or he did business to make a bit on the side of state pension. We knocked with no reply, then Fyodor managed to pick the lock - he learned it in the army and it was better than kicking it in, anyways. At least you could write that it was open already into the report - like anyone would check too much. As the door opened, we heard some noise, we rushed in, that sort of odd mix of eager and angry you get in such cases. "Hands up, eagles!"….

What we seen in the room made me throw up, and that's me - back during military service, I won a bet eating a rat. There was a strange, sweetly smell, candles, odd diagrams. The three fucks were nude.. with faces like they'd been picking strawberries, and in the centre of the room… well, let's say that what was there, all carved up, wasn't a pig.

It's odd how much strength seeing something like that gives you. They got nightstick over head, and irons over arms, and we dragged them straight to the station, followed by kicks and punches… Falling down the stairs, they call it in an arrest report.

The commander filed in papers, made phonecalls… Ivan and Josif looked at us like at a golden calf… We went off to have some drinks. I had a bad feeling , went to check them.. two were sitting in their cells allright, but the third one of them pulled something strange from…the thing must have been sewn into his forearm. Oddly, he didn't bleed that much. I went to the commander. "You got to think in new ways, not superstitious nonsense… just go in there and give him a few calming whacks, and handcuff the fuck so he doesn't kill himself". And so I did.

When I opened the door, the fuck was no longer alive. Instead there was.. it looked like the inside of.. I crossed myself, pulled out my gun and shot at it. A part of it tore away, something sparked…

I woke up surrounded by a bunch of folks in lab coats, and army uniforms. One of them, a young girl which I would have swore I seen in one of the pubs before gave me an injection. Then, three of them came and asked questions. I told them everything I knew and remembered, and things I thought I haven't… hell, even things I wouldn't say to my brother… bribes, fines I pocketed…. Oddly enough, they didn't seem to care.

I suppose I was lucky in a way … two years later, a western defector brought in amnesiacs and plans how to make them, and that made it easy… I'd be still a militionary, thinking a gas line burst. Instead one of the uniformed folk said a lobotomy would be a waste of a good man with quick aim, took my papers, and asked the medics something. He then asked me if I'm in the party. I nodded, he remarked "Well, then you know Lenin said, 'to learn, to learn, to learn'", dropped a large grey binder on my bed, and told me to go over it in the next five days. It was a brick to get through - at least Tania, that medic who supervised me, helped with some of the heavy words. At least about half of it were political matters - the estabilishment of GRU Abnormal Occurences Comission by a direct decree from Comrade Stalin following the murder of S.M.Kirov, its expansion into Division "П" - during the war as a response to psychotronic threats to people's democratic estabilishment from the SS and later, Vatican agents, as well as with whatever odd cropped up at home. The rest.. standard protocols, emergency protocols, my immediate superiors…

I started as a guard on Objekt П-3 - a steelworks somewhere near Ural. They brought new people in, almost every week, we had to supervise their off-loading and make sure they stayed in a room with an odd statue for the right amount of time - what Katia, one of the academicians working in there told me over a glass was, that they were special prisoners, troublemakers or even counter-revolutionists, and that a few hours spent in front of the thing every day made it easier to get answers from them. Well, until it messed up with that Afghan fuck… but hey, three of us got a medal from it.

Some days, I think that atheisation would have went so much easier if at least some of the stuff we took in, documented, and tried to use, store, or destroy had been put into textbooks and shown to the kids at schools. I mean… I heard that in one of the republics near Germany, they had to demolish maybe a fifth of the capital because of some thing that infected buildings, made them grow and fall down. I had to know this time, though I guess Lenia would have told me even if I wasn't the director of security. She had pretty legs, a beautiful smile and was the head researcher on its weaponisation project. We did that to a lot of things… combat first-aid kits imitated from an old Kazakh whose blood lived on its own, an experimental reactor made with help of tapeworms that could crawl across people….. At those times, I looked at the bust of Lenin on the hall across from my office, and thought to myself the days of the imperialists were over.

I was badly mistaken. Thinking… .I wonder we lasted through Gorbacov as well as we did. The man was a fool but his modernisers somehow skipped over our section… I heard an operation of ours saved his life twice. However, once he gave up and Jelcin came, it all went to hell. Even Objekt П-3 was decommissioned, and sold to a dummy company owned by a foreign shadow group.. SCP or something , they called themselves. I think Lenia joined them after her section was removed from the budget. See, after the coup, the new rich and their politicians had no trust for organisations filled with siloviki. "You got to think in new ways" a man in a suit called. "We have nothing to fear from the west anymore, and the integration with the GOC is just the first harbringer of modern, international Russian Federation more than ever able to respond to anomalous threats…" But this time, I didn't need his words… I have learned to think in new ways myself.

The middle-aged officer was disturbed from his thoughts by a tall man with clean-shaven head and an Armani suit. "The object's verification has been completed, Mr. Bezukladnikov. Here's our part of the deal - eighty thousand dollars, ten thousand rubles, a Czech ID and passport with US visa and plane tickets." The man smiled as Grigorij immediately began looking over the documents, his hands shaking slightly. "I'm sure you will find them no less valid than the border officials, comrade lieutenant colonel. After all, Mr. Marshall believes in honest business."

?type=articlePortrait
SCP-1207 prior to capture

Item #: SCP-1207

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1207 is to be housed in a standard Humanoid Containment Suite on Site-17.

Description: SCP-1207 is a humanoid measuring 1.58m and weighing 62kg, whose body resembles that of an adult caucasian male; however possessing a host of anatomic differences.
The cranium and neck of SCP-1207 are absent - instead, the thorax terminates in a cavity containing openings leading to the trachea, three ear-like structures, and a porous [DATA EXPUNGED] sound emission, and appears to be used as an orientation aid in a manner similar to echo-location.
The left arm of SCP-1207 is considerably shorter and more muscular than the right - the armpit contains rudimentary jaws and a mouth-like cavity linking to the stomach via a short esophagus - when feeding , SCP-1207 uses vertical arm movement to bite and chew.
Roentgen scanning has shown an ovoid growth roughly 20cm along major axis, located just above the pelvis. The growth is enveloped in what appears to be cartilage, and links directly to the spine, suggesting its function to be equivalent to that of a brain.

The chest of SCP-1207 is covered in a tattoo pattern, designated SCP-1207-1.

SCP-074 Rewrite

Item #: SCP-074

Object Class: Euclid

Mur-B%C3%A6nkebidder1.jpg
Still shot from SCP-074 enclosure.

Special Containment Procedures: A colony of SCP-074 is to be kept on a Fagus sylvatica log contained within a 2x2x1m enclosure constructed of a rebar frame covered in two layers of cow hide. Every three days, 500g of sterillized leaf mulch and wood chips are to be introduced into the enclosure by means of designated feeding assembly.

Sealed HDPE traps containing sheets of bark immersed in formaldehyde are to be placed in areas suspect of SCP-074 presence ,if confirmed, wild populations of SCP-074 are to be regulated using airborne chemical agents (see documentation for Procedure 15-Wormwood). A research project regarding modified Bacillus thuringiensis producing toxins effective against SCP-074 is underway.

Description: SCP-074 is a species of woodlouse resembling Oniscus asellus, encountered in the ████ █████ region of Slovak Republic, however, it demonstrates a number of anomalous properties.
Despite a size similar to O. asellus specimens, instances of SCP-074 appear to have a mass of between 0.03-0.04 micrograms - approximately 10 000 000 times less than O. asellus.

louse.jpg
Subcutaneous infection in A███ N██████ resulting from SCP-074-1 exposure. Instances of SCP-074 visible through skin.
Asides from its abnormal size ,SCP-074 mainly differs from O. asellus by means of its anomalous ethology. When disturbed, specimens of SCP-074 appear to [DATA EXPUNGED]2 originally thought to be a form of non-ionizing radiation3, but which has since been identified as "coherent wavepackets" (further on SCP-074-1) equivalent to instances of SCP-074, emitted in a random direction. SCP-074-1 pass through most known materials, however, they decohere with a half-life equivalent to approximately 130m travelled.

Coherent SCP-074-1 travelling through tree bark and cambium, and certain forms of decaying vegetable matter tend to cause live instances of SCP-074 to re-appear with a probability increasing with thickness of material. However, a similar effect tends to occur during travel through the skin and subcutaneous tissues of most birds and mammals.

SCP-074 isn't suited to life in animal tissues and promptly dies in such conditions. It is hypothesized that this property might be a form of eusociality, as the resulting pain discourages higher species from entering SCP-074 habitats.

In humans, while not primarily dangerous4, care must be taken to remove instances of SCP-074 and disinfect locations of injury, as the anaerobic nature of caused injury leads to a high incidence of tetanus otherwise.

SCP-669 Rewrite

Item #: SCP-669

Object Class: Safe

pictures%5CBall%20Bearing%2023112008.jpg
SCP-669, inactive

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-669 is to be kept in a lead-lined safety deposit on Site-19. Any personnel to be granted access to SCP-669 must have completed a training session led by an individual with 2/669 clearance.
Following Incident 669-1, SCP-669 is to be encased in a Faraday cage vessel consisting of a grounded copper shell, and slotted alumina inserts holding the item in place. SCP-669 is to be removed from containing vessel only in designated testing area, so as not to interfere with Site-19 electronics.

Description: SCP-669 is a sphere of radius 2.6cm, resembling a large bearing. When inactive, SCP-669 weighs approximately 560g. The surface of SCP-669 contains numerous sites of corrosion and pitting, as well as remains of a cadmium blue paint. The surface temperature of SCP-669 appears to vary between 32.1 and 33.8 degrees Celsius - this appears independent of the temperature and thermal conductivity of its surroundings.
The composition of SCP-669 is currently unknown; the surface of SCP-669 indicates its composition to be mild carbon steel, however, its density, as well as inertia testing data suggests a non-uniform internal structure.

SCP-669 activates when placed within 54 cm of any object larger than itself, and set into motion. While active, SCP-669 appears to lack gravitational mass - instead it describes an orbit around the object at one of a set of distances up to 54 cm from the object's surface.5 Collisions with an object larger than itself cause SCP-669 to relocate into orbit around the colliding object.
If SCP-669 is exposed to a suitable light source of sufficient brightness (see Experiment Log-669), it proceeds to move into next further orbit. If no such exists, SCP-669 will either deactivate, or proceed to fly at a tangent to its original orbit until colliding with another suitable object.
Pushing SCP-669 into an orbit closer to an object it orbits requires a force of approximately 50N, and is accompanied by a brief photoemission of seemingly random frequency from SCP-669's surface.

Recovery Log: SCP-669 was recovered from the Istanbul Modern Art Museum on April 4, 195█. It was part of a work exposed in the annual "Current Eastern European Sculpture" retrospective, as a part of an exhibit titled "Rutherfordian Atom - a Didactic Perspective", although it was not listed in that exhibition's catalog and neither its purported artist, one G█████ P█████████████, nor "Lomonosov-Makarenko Institute for Scientific and Political Education" appear to figure in any official records.

Incident 669-1:

On ██/██/196█ during the course of an experiment led by Researcher Arnold Scheiner, SCP-669 deactivated after minor collision. Within 15 seconds after reactivation, SCP-669 suddenly developed an electric field sufficient to strip electrons from objects within a radius of approximately half a metre, resulting in the death of Researcher Scheiner, and damage to several electronic devices in the room. Contanment procedures updated.


SCP-1438 (with TK4L)

Item #: SCP-1438

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1438 is to be kept in an airtight humanoid containment suite on Site-17, modified as per immobile humanoid containment standard CSG-0455-HI, that is to be kept at an internal temperature above 35 degrees Celsius unless required otherwise. The air filtration system, and the decontamination to be equipped with a heat exchanger cooling the exiting air to a temperature below 10 degrees Celsius; the condensate is to be gathered and stored in airtight stainless steel vessels.
Due to self-harm potential, SCP-1438 is to be kept sedated, and physically restrained unless otherwise required. Any personnel interacting with SCP-1438 , either to perform maintenance or as a part of an experimental procedure is to wear Class A Hazardous Materials protection due to the volatility of SCP-1438-1.

Description: SCP-1438 is a caucasian male of unknown identity, apparently in his late teens. SCP-1438 measures 1.72m, and weighs 55kg, showing signs characteristic of long-term bed-bound. If not sedated, the body of SCP-1438 undergoes constant muscular spasms,seemingly uncontrolled movement and random vocalization.

The sweat of SCP-1438 contains an anomalous transparent, slightly yellow substance, designated SCP-1438-1. SCP-1438-1 has a boiling point of approximately 32 degrees Celsius at standard pressure, and appears well soluble in water.

In most chordates, SCP-1438-1 vapour exposure results alterations in neuron structure such as SCP-1438-1 deposition in myelin sheaths, [DATA EXPUNGED] which result in heightened speed of signal transmission, as well as shortened refractory period. This effect appears to scale exponentially with dosage, up to a transmission speed calculated at 0.12c corresponding to an SCP-1438-1 dosage of 90 grams. (see Addendum 1438-1).


SCP-001-EX-J

Document SCP-001-EX-J contains the transcript of former SCP-001-J document, recovered in the ███████ Cave, France. The content of this document have since become obsoleted, leading to its declassification.

SCP-1103-3 - Frisky Face®

Item #: SCP-1103

Object Class: Safe/Euclid/Keter (indicate which class)

Special Containment Procedures: Outside of scheduled experiments, instances of SCP-1103 are to be stored in a standard large-volume storage refrigerator, at a temperature below 5°C.

Description: SCP-1103 refers to a set of commercially packed human body parts, labelled SCP-1103-1-1 to SCP-1103-1-11. All contained objects vacuum-packed on plastic trays, with the label "Dr. Wondertainment® Young Surgeon's Transplant Kit", and a price tag ranging between $3.99 and $25.99. Several of the packs have an additional sticker showing a stylized bull's head, and the words "CORN BELT" written across its front.
Additional content of the packages varies, however, each package contains an instruction leaflet (see Addendum 1103-1), a set of single-use plastic gloves, and a tube labelled "Dr. Wondertainment® Tube of Wonderlube®", labelled SCP-1103-2. The tube has a break-off end, and contains approximately 5ccm of a translucent, viscous yellow-green liquid of composition resembling blood plasma.
Analysis have shown the tissues to be unusually durable - a sample was able to survive up to three hours exposed to room temperature air,. When vacuum-packed, or submerged in physiologic solution, and cooled to below 5°C, a sample can be stored practically indefinitely. DNA analysis has shown the samples come from distinct individuals of varied race and gender, despite their uniform appearance - the only common trait among them appears to be the blood type of "0" and negative Rhesus factor.

Applying SCP-1103-2 to human or animal tissues results in the temporary loosening of intercellular bonds of a layer approximately 1mm thick, accompanied by mild fluorescence, of duration cca. 5 minutes, after which the surface regains its previous structure. In the case of skin application, the outermost epidermis layer doesn't reconstitute.
If during this time, another tissue sample is brought into contact with the loose cell layer, the surfaces fuse together, and over following 6-14 hours, the interface between the two develops a functioning blood vessel network. Neural connections were initially thought not to develop, subsequent experiments have shown this process to take an average of three weeks. Despite foreign origin, there has only been one case of tissue rejection recorded during testing. (Experiment logs available upon request to all personnel with at least 1-1103 clearance.)

Experiment 1103-2

Recovery Log: SCP-1103 came into attention of the Foundation on ██/10/20██, after an incident at the ████████ National Hospital in ██████, Illinois, when 11 year old J█████ W█████ was hospitalized with hands apparently fused to his face. Interviewing the subject has revealed he has purchased "a joke surgery kit" at "Laughing Matters", a local joke shop, and attempted to use it to graft an additional finger to each of his hands.
Subject's home was searched, resulting in the procurement of an instance of SCP-1043, and a shop bill from "Laughing Matters",confirming the interview data. Investigation of the shop has resulted in seizing additional ██ instances of SCP-1103, however, the owner has been proven to lack any knowledge of SCP-1103's anomalous effects. Investigation into the origin of the anomalous shipment is ongoing.
All involved were treated with Class-A amnesiacs, and evidence linking J█████ W█████'s disfigurement to a gas leak explosion was fabricated.

Addendum 1103-1:

Yoric's challenge - SCP whose containment procedures legit. involve wearing a tinfoil or Al. foil hat.

mass spectrometry

Titanium, Ti: The holy grail of hollywood metallurgy, this metal is often treated as the Superman of materials. In reality it's a lot more like Xander Harris - reliable and useful, but it's not magic, and rarely works well on its own.
Pure titanium has a tensile strength - basically , the maximum pulling force per surface area a specimen can withstand - of about 434 MPa. For comparison, Al-Cu-Mg alloys (dural) typically reach 450 MPa, and medium carbon steels go up to 1200 MPa. As such, designing a containment cell with titanium walls makes about as much sense as importing a Trabant via airlift would make for an American - you aren't getting the value for your money, and the only people it'll impress are those with no idea what you are talking about.
Titanium alloys have far better properties in this respect, matching steels, but with a far lower density.6 As such , it is well suited for aerospace applications, but given that mass is rarely an issue in containment cell design, steel is most likely a better option.
There's a couple of cases where titanium plating on the inside of a containment cell would work well - titanium is resistant to most dilute acids and chemical corrosive agents, and has a high melting point - around 1900 K.7 Therefore, using such designs to contain heat-based entities, or objects that chemically attack their surroundings works well as an alternative to ceramic plating in cases where the latter's mechanical properties (low fracture toughness for one) might pose a problem.

Item #: SCP-1055

Object Class: Euclid

5355097-field-with-sugar-beet.jpg
SCP-1055

Special Containment Procedures: Specimens of SCP-1055 are not to be taken out of Bio-Containment Site-11. Personnel interacting with SCP-1055 samples is to don class-B hazardous materials protection gear, due to fine particulate contamination; the foot-wear is required to have continuous copper plating to prevent surface wear. A water misting system consisting of copper high-pressure sprinklers placed in regular intervals no smaller than one per 4 metres squared is to be set up in order to limit pollen spread.

Specimens of SCP-1055 encountered outside Bio-Containment Site-11 are to be promptly incinerated, including heat treatment of the soil surface layer. Selective insecticide treatment of infected areas and immediate surroundings to cull bees approved in order to prevent proliferation of pollen by means of honey. Any existing honey from areas within 5 kilometres from suspected SCP-1055 agents is to be sterilised by a temperature of at least 85 degrees Celsius over the course of two minutes - a cover citing Escherischia coli contamination is recommended.
SCP-1055-2 are to be administered class-B amnesiacs and kept for an observation period of 4 weeks, upon which they are to be administered class-A amnesiacs and released.

Description: SCP-1055 refers to a population of agricultural plants, mainly Zea mays, Beta vulgaris and Solanum tuberosum, located on a field near ███████, southern Ukraine (currently Bio-Containment Site-11) . Specimens of SCP-1055 tend to be of above average size and yield, and their seeds have an unusually high germination rate ,though this might be attributed to exceptional care. All species of SCP-1055 share a common set of anomalous traits:

I. The root system of SCP-1055 specimens is abnormally extensive, growing through the soil to form a dense mat that extends over the field's area, and to a depth of approximately 30cm. The roots are a host to a wide range of bacterial life - several species of Acetobacter,Clostridium,Rhizobium,Rhodococcus, as well as a number of unidentified species have been isolated. Experiments with laboratory cultures have shown introduced standardized samples of animal and plant tissue, fur, bone, wood, as well as several polymers and ██████ to decompose within the range of several weeks at most. While living organisms are usually able to withstand short- to medium-term exposure, prolonged contact (usually in the range of hours) tends to cause localised epidermis breakdown resulting in inflammation rapidly progressing into gangrene if untreated, however, early intravenous vancomycin, or fluoroquinolone class antibiotics treatment has been shown effective in over 85% cases.

day_6_sm.jpg
Hand of D-134 6 hours after SCP-1055 exposure.

II. Specimens of SCP-1055 flower through almost their entire life-cycle, and emit a particulate, labelled SCP-1055-1. SCP-1055 has a low density, and is capable of aerial transmission with significant concentrations recorded up to distance of ███ metres from the site.
Herbivores and omnivores coming into contact with SCP-1055-1 will, over the course of app. 12 hours, undergo a set of behavioral changes, most important of which is the reluctance to consume most plant matter, and conversely, development of a strong preference for meat consumption, even if not naturally adapted for such. (see Addendum 1055-1:) Exposing natural carnivores to SCP-1055-1 produces no observable effects.
In human subjects, labelled SCP-1055-2, the above is followed by the development of a mentality best described as "plant worship"8. SCP-1055-2 are protective of SCP-1055, watering areas of growth and fertilising them with gathered waste such as food remains, fecal matter, assorted plastics, removing pests and weed, and attacking perceived threats to SCP-1055 well-being.

Recovery Log: SCP-1041 came to the attention of the Foundation on ██/██/19██ after reports of unusual animal behaviour, and missing people were reported from the towns around a farm belonging to "AGROEKSPORT ██████", little is known of the company at the moment. The incidents culminated with Stepan I█████, a local herder reporting instances of "mad cow disease" among his stock. An autopsy of several of the carcasses on his parcel found significant amounts of an unknown substance (later identified as SCP-1055-1) in their respiratory system; as a conclusion, the investigation team was issued with class B hazardous materials equipment. Stepan I█████ was interviewed by Agent Uhliar, and administered class A amnesiacs.

The investigation team proceeded to comb the area based on information obtained. A detachment consisting of agents Uhliar, Ivanov and Petrus was ambushed by a number of feral goats, injuring Agent Uhliar. Agent Petrus opened fire, hitting several of them; the remaining goats ceased their attack, and attempted to gore and consume the wounded, allowing the investigation team to take them down with no further casualties. Upon inspection the carcasses showed signs of malnourishment, and SCP-1055-1 contamination.
The detachment was able to follow their tracks towards the main site of SCP-1055 contamination.

SCP-1043-1, in the early stages of constructing SCP-1043-2-3

Item #: SCP-1043

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1043 is to be held within a containment room in Storage Unit 9 at Site-33. The air humidity within the containment unit shouldn't exceed 5% to prevent devaluation of SCP-1043, as well as a potential containment breach.Experimentation on SCP-1043 requires approval of level 3 personnel due to limited amount available.

-Uncontained instances of SCP-1043-1 are to be left to proceed to completion; a mobile perimeter is to be estabilished around them to prevent public exposure. Resulting SCP-1043-2 is to be demolished and rubble, along with the foundation of solidified SCP-1043-1 removed, and stored at nearest Low-hazard Anomalous Materials Bulk Storage facility.-
A mobile perimeter is to be estabilished around uncontained instances of SCP-1043-1 for the purposes of monitoring. If the emerging SCP-1043-2 doesn't resemble any of the forms described in Addendum 1043-1, the area extending to a radius of at least 200 metres from the edge of SCP-1043-1 in question is to be evacuated, and procedure 28-Surtur applied.
Otherwise, resulting SCP-1043-2 is to be demolished and rubble, along with the foundation of solidified SCP-1043-1 removed, and stored at nearest Low-hazard Anomalous Materials Bulk Storage facility.

Description: SCP-1043 refers to approximately 31 134 sacks, labeled "MOLISOLUS MARK III" and numbers "I" to "V" in large red lettering, . On the lower right corner of each sack is a green stamp detailing a winged arm holding a hammer, and the designation "APOLLODORUS CONSTRUCTION COMBINE". The sacks contain a grey-green powdery substance, which, if mixed with water and applied onto soil, recombines with it to form SCP-1043-1.

SCP-1043-1 is a self-propagating soil anomaly, appearing similar to a pool of concrete. SCP-1043-1 at this stage has been shown to have remarkable surface tension, able to support pressures of up to 40 kPa.
If removed from the main pool, samples of SCP-1043-1 cease activity and coalesce, producing an isotropic grey solid of stiffness similar to concrete, but a far higher yield strength - Vickers hardness 50 HD30, but otherwise lacking anomalous properties. Laboratory analysis has revealed the composition to be that of surrounding substrate with SCP-1043 acting as a resin of sorts. Initially, an instance of SCP-1043-1 propagates at a rate of approximately ██ m² , assimilating surrounding soil, until reaching a depth of cca. 1.5m and a final area of cca. 8 times the area covered by the resulting SCP-1043-2.

After approximately ██ hours, a number of ambulatory growths bearing outwards resemblance to human arms begin to form within SCP-1043-1. Once fully formed, the growths proceed to use SCP-1043-1, as well as occasionally salvage raw materials within the perimeter affected by SCP-1043-1 to construct a structure or object, labeled SCP-1043-2 (see Addendum 1043-1 for a list of SCP-1043-2 types known). After the construction is complete, leftover SCP-1043-1 retreats towards the centre and hardens, providing a foundation for the structure.
Experimenting with decreasing the quantity of SCP-1043 used has shown the process to successfully complete, however, the base layer is proportionally thinner, and beyond a point characterised by the thickness of the transformed soil layer not exceeding ██cm, the process fails to complete.

Addendum 1043-1:

LIST OF SCP-1043-2 TYPES.

Designation: SCP-1043-2-1
Appearance: A smooth-walled rectangular building of base cca. 30x20 metres, and height of cca. 10 metres. The interior divides into two floors, each containing 41 identical rooms, and one of about twice the size. The smaller rooms' walls and floor contain a number of protrusions bearing outward resemblance to shelves, bedding, and a table. The larger room's floor contains several holes cca. 25cm in diameter - these terminate below the structure's base. The microstructure of most surfaces has been found to physically interfere with germ growth.

Designation: SCP-1043-2-2
Appearance: A semi-circular dome approximately 16 metres in radius, with decorative elements resembling the architecture of Mussolini-era Italy. There are four entrances, located 90 degrees apart. The interior contains a raised podium, and approximately 500 irregularly arranged seating places, connected via stairs.The internal walls and roof curve considerably and contain a large number of structural features. Analysis has shown the structure to possess excellent auditory properties.

Incident 1043-1:

On ██/██/20██ , members of MTF Chi-4 "Brick Breakers" were dispatched to a supposed instance of SCP-836 infestation in ██████, Canada. However, on-site assessment has shown this to be an uncharacteristic instance of SCP-1043, spreading rapidly in an approximately 10 cm deep layer, and repurposing material within its perimeter to repeatedly construct what appeared to be several sections of a statue9 and fuse them in a seemingly random arrangement, forming a mound approximately ██ m in diameter.
Procedure 28-Surtur used upon operative approval by Dr. G████ shown successful in halting SCP-1043-1 activity.

Incident 1043-2:

On ██/██/20██, a raid on the ████████ █████, a coffee shop suspected to serve as a cover for "Are We Cool Yet?" activity related to the spreading of SCP-███ as a part of the recent "We are the 99 bottles" campaign.
Among the items obtained was a Moleskine notebook containing sketches resembling SCP-1043-1 and detailed drawings of structures resembling SCP-1018 , SCP-███, as well as objects of seemingly impossible geometry. The drawings are dimensioned, and surrounded by stenographic markings, a number of yet-undeciphered symbols, as well as arbitrary content such as stylized sketches of common objects , and a drawing of a nude female identified as A███ P█████.
The notebook contains a number of fingerprint marks, which have been determined to consist of SCP-1043 powder.
Page 23 of the notebook shows a crossed out drawing with features similar to the structure encountered by MTF Chi-4 during Incident 1043-1. It is followed by a number of calculations, ending with "A=43.2[unknown symbol]**2i FUCK YEAH!" underlined twice.
Scanned copies of the notebook's contents are available to personnel with 2-1043 clearance.

SCP-839

Item #: SCP-839

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-839 is to be placed in a reinforced steel safe of appropriate dimensions, and guarded by at least 1 security personnel at all times.
Experiments with SCP-839 are to be conducted such that no straight line originating at the device intersects structural walls, other containment areas or areas with a high concentration of Foundation personnel sooner than 4 meters of length - outside testing grounds are reccomended.

Description:

SCP-839 is an anomalous carnival high-striker, consisting of an hammer and an anvil.The hammer, designated SCP-839-1 consists of a wooden handle measuring 65cm, and a steel head of 10 cm cross-section, spray-painted red. The striking surfaces are somewhat worn and pitted. The anvil, designated SCP-839-2, measures 1.5 metres and is spray-painted red, except for the bell, which is unpainted, and scale, coloured yellow with black writing. The striking surface has marks of similar wearing as the hammer, and upon procurement, less accessible places contained traces of fur, human hair, and unidentified organic residue.Both items are stamped with "Biglicious Barter Banger by (c) Dr. Wondertainment", while the anvil has an additional "Insert life here, get a prize" stamp.


Notes on prank war.


"Bloody Los… Surprised that even worked as a prank… " Researcher Eisenberg sat at his desk, absentmindedly stroking Nastasia, his linen cat. "I'll teach him to cut the latin…wait, that's an idea.".
Researcher Eisenberg rushed out of his office, and returned rather sweaty, holding a heavy Latin dictionary. Work has just begun.

About an hour later - languages weren't exactly his strong side - Researcher Eisenberg arrived into the containment cell of SCP-758, with a sheet of paper heavily worn out with eraser marks. It might have been his imagination, but it seemed that upon seeing it, Vasili let out a sigh before introducing an ample amount of corrections.

"Bloody hell, hope this ink is black enough…" His sweaty hands grabbed the worn leather of SCP-141, an act that would make many a bibliophile cringe, and he began to laboriously scribble onto the first free page, trying to imitate the original writing as well as possible. "..e-ra-tio … that should be it". Shaking with expectation, he ran to the nearest internet-enabled terminal.
A quick search, and even quicker email from a disposable address later, Vladim. A. Eisenberg, in his mind already a Senior Researcher, walked back to his office.


Sitting at his desk, Dr. Los was enjoying the fruit of a day's work - he had already gained SCP-050 twice today, and that spoke of something, didn't it? "Gee, being called Loser and winning… sounds like a hipster schti-"
His thoughts were interrupted by a kick into the door, and in the next moment, he had to take cover behind his desk from a hail of bullets, accompanied by an even stronger hail of high-fidelity Russian swearing. A desk that the monkey statue has conveniently disappeared from.

Aspects

Aspect 1: That creepy reptile guy : Sandor has a pet snake, and is a fan of reptiles in general. On the plus side, he doesn't afraid of them, and can handle them well, on other side, he has to force himself to harm even the more dangerous ones, like you'd have trouble with , say kittens, even if they were five feet.
Aspect 2: That creepy reptile guy: Adherent of the "She loves me, she just doesn't know it yet" philosophy. Sometimes exhibits stalkerish tendencies.
Aspect 3: Boom chicka boom: There are few sights as satisfying as seeing something burst into flames, be it through the use of explosives, napalm, or something more ordinary. That, and the work involved in preparing it is a wonderful challenge.

Personal History

An engineer of Hungarian descent, graduated from a state polytechnic and held an unexceptional job. Well, until the state found out that he'd been making sizable amounts of quality homemade explosives and selling them on as a "salary bonus". Recruited to the Foundation as a more favourable alternative to jailtime, or so he thought. Currently a technician at Area-354 - he has survived long enough to start liking his job again, especially given that it allows for larger expression of some of his tendencies.

Miscellaneous

Physical description - http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dm510/sandor.jpg A really old sketch of him, which had less explicitly reptilian eyes and so works for this here too. About 5'7'' in height, black hair. 26 years old. Tends to fiddle with something constantly, or spin a writing instrument - has to do something with his hands.

SCP-1011-1

Item #: SCP-1011

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1011-1 is to be kept at Hall-07 at Site 35. Two guards are to be present at all times at the entrance to Hall-07 to prevent the removal of SCP-1011-1. The D-class population working on Site 35 as a part of currently running experiment is suspended from monthly termination schedule due to the extended length of time needed to study the effects of SCP-1011-1. As material produced during the experiment appears to lack anomalous properties, its use is approved for non-critical applications as defined in document CSG-0371-N.

Description:SCP-1011-1 is a statue approximately 2 m tall, weighing approximately 4 200 kg, depicting a worker whose head has been replaced by an assortment of tools. The pedestal bears an inscription stating "Man is the most important means of production," and the year of casting, stated to be 1927.
Material analysis has revealed the composition to be ordinary cast iron with 2.3 wt% carbon content.

SCP-1011-1's anomalous properties manifest when it is seen by human subjects who will engage in productive labor no later than three hours after the sighting, and escalate slowly with additional exposure. Denial of exposure to SCP-1011-1 has been shown sufficient to halt the progress of the condition.

During stage I, subjects, designated SCP-1011-2, will begin to demonstrate a heightened sense of morale and satisfaction, voluntarily working longer hours and paying increased attention to their task. As the phase progresses, SCP-1011-2 cease activities other than work, sleep, and satisfying basic bodily needs.

After approximately ██ months, stage II is marked by the SCP-1011-2 initially beginning to show reluctance to use means of personal safety, such as helmets, gloves or safety glasses. When questioned, SCP-1011-2 respond finding them "unnecessary" and "binding". As the phase progresses, SCP-1011-2 also slowly cease to utilize tools, favoring the use of their own body even at risk of minor damage. This phase lasts for further ██ months approximately.

The onset of stage III is marked by insomnia in SCP-1011-2. Instead they congregate within eyesight of SCP-1011-1, and cease movement, staring at it for 3 hours a day average. The effects of stage II progress with an almost complete abandonment of tool and machine use by SCP-1011-2, with them often acting in groups to replace lost functionality. Body deformations appear on SCP-1011-2 at this stage, which tend to facilitate their tasks. SCP-1011-2 at this stage have a marked resistance to pain. This stage lasts indefinitely.

On at least one occasion known, the condition caused by SCP-1011-1 progresses into stage IV - terminal stage. During this stage, SCP-1011-2 use one another as construction material, depleting the population of an afflicted factory in a matter of days. Despite extensive experimentation with possible triggers, attempts to initiate terminal stage among the D-class population of Site 35 have been unsuccessful.

Recovery Log: SCP-1011-1 came into attention of the Foundation at ████████ Steelworks of 28th October, Bashkir ASSR, RSFSR, Soviet Union. (currently Site 35) on ██/██/1947, after an inspection was mandated as a part of price-awarding procedure due to the consistent exceeding of production targets10 . (see Addendum 1011-1). However, before containment by the Foundation could be attempted, it was taken off limits by agents of Psychotronics Department of GRU - at around this time stage IV has apparently occurred. (see Addendum 1011-2 for a leaked report section).
Following the dissolution of USSR in 1991, Foundation agents persuaded the government of Russian Federation to decommission and sell the site to a Foundation front-end for [REDACTED] dollars, and Site 35 was estabilished around it.

Addendum 1011-1:

EXCERPT OF INSPECTION REPORT

[REDACTED FOR BREVITY]
The directing committee of [REDACTED] welcomed me cordially, however I couldn't help but notice a marked lack of focus and erratic behaviour on their part. Comrade M████████ kept talking about what a marvelous effect the statue that has been installed in the hall during the last 5-year plan has had on worker morale, and what a work of socialist art it is, and urged me to see it as soon as possible. On the other hand, Comrade T███████ constantly filled in assorted forms, with what appeared to be just his finger, though I might be mistaken.
[REDACTED]
The conditions in the main foundry are unfitting for the basic dignity of socialist man. Men barehandedly handle red-hot ingots, their hands black and shriveled, others pound rivets into sheet metal with their heads; I have seen two men use the back of third to saw through a log, his back covered in sharp ridges not found on a healthy person. They seem to feel no discomfort, and smile eagerly at every visitor. About a [DATA EXPUNGED] wire acted as a human lifting mechanism of sorts - when five of them fell into the molten metal, another replaced them within moments. Comrade M████████ , who was my guide on the tour didn't appear to find any wrongs with the present arrangement, answering a few of my questions reluctantly, then continuing to extol the virtues of the statue.
[REDACTED]
I request immediate shutdown of operations at ████████ Steelworks of 28th October, its quarantining and further investigation. Despite the exceptional effort needed towards the rebuilding of our Fatherland, this is decisively not the path we are to take. Furthermore, the observed could be signs of sabotage as per the recent circulatory detailing min[DATA EXPUNGED].

Addendum 1011-2:

EXCERPT FROM LEAKED PD GRU ACTION REPORT

…Upon arrival, the site appeared to be deserted. The offices were empty, no sight of either the directors or the party committee. The hall containing the object contained several piles of clothing and some [DATA EXPUNGED] but otherwise nothing notable. Lieutenant N████ appeared overly disturbed and obsessed by it, but I managed to force him to follow on.
[REDACTED]
In the main foundry we found 94 of produced ingots, the last 15 of which having a distinct texture. Scraping one with my knife revealed considerable softness of the material and I was able to dislodge bone-like segments.

SCP-072

rating: 0+x

Item #: SCP-072

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-072 should be contained in Standard Humanoid Containment on Site 17. A single 200 watt full spectrum light bulb should be installed in the SHC , being lit at all times. SCP-072 requires no other nourishment. Audio recordings in Russian should be made available on request.
The residue of SCP-072 should be kept in a ceramic urn in Low Value Containment Unit on Site 17.

Description: Although his appearance varies, in the presence of an appropriate light source (spectrum similar to solar radiation, uniform illuminance at least 60 kilolux) , SCP-072 appears as a middle-aged Caucasian male measuring 177 cm and weighing 80 kg. He is illiterate, and his age is unknown.
Subject's apparent age varies depending on the intensity of sunlight or equivalent full spectrum light source - the specific wavelengths required are as of now unknown.
Specifically, when the illuminance drops below 30 kilolux , SCP-072 appears to age at a proportional rate, up to approximately 20 years/hour.

Lab Induction

"Welcome to the Level 1 Research Staff Laboratory Induction. "

"My name is Dr. Eisenberg. Now , all of you are probably asking yourself 'Who the hell is that?' and 'Why isn't someone like Dr. Gears introducing us instead, being that he's head of the research site?' Let me put it this way. That monkey you saw down the hallway? That's Dr. Bright. Like Dr. Gears, he is Level 4 Research Staff, which means he is considered about as important as two-three roomfuls of you here.. including myself. It also means they get to ehm, relegate administrative tasks, so do level 3's, the shit falls through… you'll see. But it isn't so bad."

"Now, all of you here folks joined the Foundation because we pay off your college debt, pay you a decent salary, and allow you to get your doctorates done. We're kinda like the army, just that we don't make anyone march uphill like an idiot."

"Now, good news is, we don't care what college you went into, as long as you have a working head on your shoulders - for one, as you probably heard, what we got here doesn't only fuck with physics, it makes porn of it, so there's hundreds of experiments that need to be run, and that's what we need you for. And for two, you will be working as assistants to other researchers ,who will outline your tasks in a way that doesn't require you to go through tons of theory. You carry out the experiments, you write down the findings carefully and anything unexpected even more carefully, and that's pretty much it for 90% of the time."

"However, it isn't all that easy, and I'd like to say a few things to help you survive until it pays off. See, you might hear essentially everyone else bitching about how hard and risky their job is, but it's a matter of fact that the researchers aren't any better off. Intel just watches stuff from afar, if an MTF sees something they don't like, they get to "retreat" , but we, not only have nowhere to go if shit hits the fan, we have to take whatever they bring in, and prod it until we find out what exactly does it do, and how to prevent it from doing that without control. So. listen carefully."

"Now, first, es-cee-pees… they probably told you the gist of what we do here on the main briefing, with all the other folks there - the supposed House MD's and James Bonds and John Rambo, so i don't need to go through all that shit. Now. If you're in direct contact with a Keter class object you're likely fucked, and well, pure Euclids you'll meet only during initial containment, and there's little advice i can give you for that. What I'll speak about are the 'Safe''s. The bureaucratic cunt who thought up that name probably never seen one."

"Do *not* fuck about with a safe es-cee-pee, and mainly, do *not* let your guard down. The most dangerous times when researching an object isn't the first time you're around it, it's the umpteenth time you've been asked to collect a bunch of data, think you know exactly what it can do, and get careless. Might seem odd now, but you will begin thinking like that, no matter how weird or dangerous the item you work with is. It's human nature, something about psychological baselines but I'm a metallurgist, not a shrink. I guess it's so since in most of the world, if something does A for five hundred times, it won't do B for the five hundredth one time."

" Here, not so much - it's how half the stuff in containment gets their 'Euclid'. For example, the two staff that died swilling their own shit because of one nine eight - shapeshifter cup from the devil's mother we thought we had contained. One of them was a researcher like you, and all he did was reach for what he thought was his own thermos on the desk in front of him - turns out the bloody thing teleports every so often."

"Second thing. D-Class. Disposables. The folks in orange jumpsuits recruited from death row inmates. Their main official purpose is to manipulate Keter class objects so that we don't have to. That much you heard on the briefing. They are also used for human testing of es-cee-pees. Now, listen well, and you back there, try looking a bit less freaked out - we aren't fucking schutzstaffel.
Now, the official documents say they are terminated at the end of each month, and so will die anyways. Now, I seriously doubt that, given the amount of them even I use, and since you aren't brain dead, you will probably doubt it too. You might even get reluctant to terminate D-classes that you have run a set of experiments on."

"Let me run with a practical example. One of the memetic es-cee-pees we had on site, relatively harmless thing, a jingle or a song of sort. There, with the suspenders? What's a meme? How can I put it.. memes are malicious ideas. They break your mind's programming if they are read in, from any source. Sort of like the computer viruses bored Bulgarian youths write - no matter if it's from a floppy or email attachment, it does the same, whether it's displaying a silly message, or making your hard disk plow. Over there? What? That's a cognitohazard, not a meme? You're probably right, I don't work with these.. .either way, what it does is more important to what it's called. "

"Either way, researcher who did the testing was "humanistic" - he didn't know better. Returned the D-class he used to the pool, not even with a note about what's been done. A few days later, we contained another memetic SCP, one that killed people, it was an image. Another researcher who ran tests on that one, by incidence, took in the same D-class. In his mind, the two memes merged somehow. From what the camera feeds show, the man started babbling, then tore his own trachea out, and so did the researcher and the two security staff present."

"So yes. There's a reason why their papers contain a short summary of what they were sentenced for, beyond selecting a fitting psychological profile for es-cee-pee testing. Read it through. And any time you get the urge of returning a used D-class back to the pool, think to yourself 'Is prolonging the life of a rapist worth risking the life of my colleagues and friends?'."

"Now, that's all of me, really. Questions?"

"You with that look? Demotion to D-class? Ah fuck, who told you that? I thought so.. see, that, and Keter duty is one of the pieces of bullshit we scare the greenhorns with. Now, see.. most of the ways you can fuck up here, we'll have no one to punish, and taking out sensitive information, they'd kill you for that everywhere. "

"Next one. Why do you have to stay on site? Probation period, really. For the next six months. Those who go through it, you'll get your level 1 permanent clearances, and will be able to spend their time off wherever. Those who don't.. you'll get class B amnesiacs and forget everything you ever experienced here. Which isn't as bad as it sounds - we'll still give you the salary. "

"Guy in polo shirt? Where's the best place to meet women in here? The Internet… Joking. Try Bio section's staff break room, lots of cute girls there, like Rights."

"You there, girl with glasses? Why don't we research the objects so they can help mankind? Well, i could say that… Screw it. Know what? You can. If you succeed, and develop a theory that explains and reproduces an object, it'll get reclassified as SCP-EX, leaked to the public, and you might get a promotion out of it. SO far, i have heard of about five people succeeding.. in the last century. Hell, I'm still trying to work out what triggers structural cancer, and the six of us have been messing with it for two years by now."

"Go on. What do you need to get promoted? Ambitious,aren't we? Well, goes like this. You finish your degree, and then you either leave with the civies, or you stay with us, sign a permanent contract, and get level 2 clearance. After that, it's a matter of luck and arseclimbery, and since I have neither, I'm still stuck as a Researcher."

"Another girl? A dog somehow got into the on-site showers? That'd be Professor Crow. Next time he does that, steal his glasses.
Anyways, you're all dismissed - in a while, security personnel will escort you to the researchers that you'll be working for. In the meantime there's some coffee and donuts here too, so help yourself."

Several instances of SCP-936

Item #: SCP-936

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Specimens of SCP-936 are to be kept on the grounds of Bio Research Site-104, enclosed by a fence to prevent unauthorised access, and watered daily. Approximately once a month, the plantation is to be screened for any SCP-936-1 by two (2) D-Class personnel of adequate physical ability and SCP-936-1 are to be harvested according to site plan. Harvested SCP-936-2 are to be incinerated if unused, can be fed to contained carnivores upon removal of seeds, which are to be incinerated.
Following Incident 936-1, the D-class personnel performing the screening are to to be screened thoroughly for infectious diseases, and are to use sterile gloves and facial filters to prevent contamination.

Uncontained SCP-936 instances are to be dug out and any SCP-936-1 and SCP-936-2 incinerated. For purposes of containment, the Foundation is to ensure SCP-936 is declared an invasive species.

Description: SCP-936 is a species of deciduous, self-pollinating tree resembling Fagus sylvatica, inhabiting the region of northern and eastern Europe, most notably clustering around ██████, Ukraine. SCP-936 is capable of forming clonal colonies, the ol[DATA EXPUNGED].
It has been shown that the roots of SCP-936 are host to nitrogen-fixing bacteria, similarly to the legumes - as during most of its lifecycle, the plant doesn't display anomalous properties, checking for unusual soil nitration levels shows promise as an identification method.
SCP-936 is monoecious, and during flowering, specimens can be recognised by an unusually high male to female flower ratio - there are only several dozen female flowers, usually growing directly on older wood. Out of those, on average, less than six continue development, and it is rare for more than a single fruit to reach maturity.
The resulting fruit, classified SCP-936-1 is covered in a green cupule, and rapidly grows towards its ripe mass of app. 85 kg; SCP-936's foliage grows denser in order to cover for the energetic expenditure. Dissection has revealed the inside of SCP-936-1 contains a length of stem wrapping around a structure closely resembling a human body, designated SCP-936-2. Tissue samples obtained from SCP-936-1 physiologically resemble human tissue, possessing functionality in most aspects11 , with the exception of ██████, █████ and ███████ █████ which contain a mass of brown-black seeds approximately 3cm in diameter.
As SCP-936-1 reaches maturity , the stem thickens considerably and the cupule wilts, eventually breaking, and causing SCP-936-2 to descend, hanging from the stem which in most cases wraps around its cervical region.
The appearance of SCP-936-2 produced by a single SCP-936 varies in size, visual appearance and apparent gender with no discernible pattern.
The seeds within SCP-936-2 have a thick skin, and take approximately sixteen months to germinate. However if exposed to an acidic enviroment (pH < 2), germination occurs within ██ weeks.

Recovery Log SCP-936 was first discovered near ██████, Finland, after reports of an unusually high reported suicide rate. Intelligence agent ████ 's report has revealed this to be due to the statistics including a number of nude hanging victims being periodically discovered on trees in the nearby ████ forest, and the local cemetery, their identity being impossible to determine.
Suspecting a cognitohazard, a perimeter was estabilished around said yard under the premise of widespread bark beetle infection, and the site was placed under observation.
During observation period, new corpse discovered despite security footage showing no violations of perimeter within assumed time of death and autopsy revealed anomalies inconsistent with human anatomy, notably, seeds located in [REDACTED]. Agent F████ noted that all victims have been found hanging from a single species of tree, and a thorough examination has resulted in the procurement several samples of unripe SCP-936-1 , leading to SCP-936 classification.
MTF Xi-8 "Spearhunters" performed removal of all instances of SCP-936 within an surrounding area of 45 km sq. Obtained seeds contained at Bio Research Site-104.

Addendum 936-1:

EXPERIMENT LOG SCP-936

SUBJECT: D-532, 25 year old male
GRAFT: 100 cm sq. of skin taken from SCP-936-2
RESULT: Skin graft implanted successfully. Skin shows higher mechanical resistance, possibly due to interstitial cellulose fibers. However, incisions take longer to heal, and poor resistance to UV light.

SUBJECT: D-532, 25 year old male
GRAFT: muscular tissue taken from biceps of SCP-936-2.
RESULT: Muscle graft implanted successfully. Muscular tissue appears to behave ordinarily, and has similar strength/volume ratio.Despite D-821 being restrained for several days due to operation , implanted muscle showed no traces of atrophy. Subject D-821's diet switched to protein-deficient - measurements of rate of muscle loss showed this to be lower by a factor of ██.

SUBJECT: D-231, 30 year old male.
GRAFT: Kidneys.
RESULT: Graft implanted successfully. Kidneys shown to have remarkable liquid economy. Subject expired due to renal failure after seven weeks.

SUBJECT: D-512, 23 year old female
GRAFT: Digestive system taken from SCP-936-2
RESULT: Graft implanted successfully. D-532, instead of via regular digestion, appears to absorb products of bacterial decay - intestinal microflora changed substantially. D-532 appears emaciated. D-532's urine abnormal - further testing shows intestinal flora removes cca.██% of urea from her bloodstream and reprocesses it.
I suspect the new intestinal tract isn't long enough for this mode of digestion. - Dr ██████
SUBJECT: D-721, 25 year old female
GRAFT: [REDACTED]
RESULT: Graft implanted successfully. D-721 appears to produce a steady supply of seeds.

SUBJECT: D-723, 31 year old female
GRAFT: Subject impregnated with sperm harvested from SCP-936-1.
RESULT: Pregnancy appears to progress normally, however after ██ weeks, ultrasound reading [DATA EXPUNGED]01. Foetus artificially aborted.
Note: This might explain why man[DATA EXPUNGED] - Dr. Eisenberg

Addendum 936-2:

Incident 936-1:
On ██/██/19██ , one of the D-class personnel tasked with SCP-936-1 harvest, later shown suffering from a rhinovirus infection, transmitted the virus onto at least one SCP-936-1. The infection spread through as of yet unknown means, causing a crop failure SCP-936 , heavily delaying research progress. Removal of infected/dead SCP-936-1 successful in halting infection progress.

tumblr_l0h9maQm6q1qzb7gjo1_500.jpg
Growth stage of SCP-836, structure seen from above

Item #: SCP-836

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Live samples of SCP-836 should be stored on glass in a two-layer CFRP casing filled with air with specific humidity not exceeding 5%. The inner casing should be periodically checked for signs of excessive thinning and/or damage, replacing panels if necessary., Damaged panels are to be sterilised by heating them to a temperature exceeding 950 degrees Celsius over a course of five minutes; subsequently they can be treated as regular waste or used as substrate.
In the case of inner casing breach, outer casing as well as the entire storage room are to be urgently subjected to similar heat treatment.
The storage unit for SCP-836 samples may not be connected to any other SCP unit structurally or via engineering networks.

In the case of an uncontained SCP-836 outbreak, the local utilities networks are to be shut down and the area radiating at least 200 metres from any infected building is to be evacuated and subjected to procedure 28-Surtur (suggested cover: military satellite planned crash)
The area of within 2 km radius of SCP-836 outbreak is to be monitored for presence of further outbreaks for a period of 14 months.

In areas marked as at-risk for SCP-836 outbreaks, building codes should be edited so as to ensure the systematic replacement of structures over 70 years of age.

Description: SCP-836 is the designation given to a condition occuring within clay, bricks or concrete, though secondary propagation can affect most known structural materials. The initiating factors are currently subject to research, though the likelihood of SCP-836 appearance increase rapidly for structures over ███ years old.
Initial stage of SCP-836 manifests as a deformation within the material that grows at an average rate of ███ grams per day. The mass increase seems to correspond to density drop in surrounding material. The deformation is hygroscopic, futhermore, [DATA EXPUNGED] which seems to initially fuel the growth. Dissection of SCP-836 instances show the inside alternating solid layers with a foam-like interstitial structure. At this stage , SCP-836 poses little danger except for cases where it compromises integrity of delicate structures.
If SCP-836 comes into contact with live wiring, and preferably a water source, it enters growth stage which initially manifests in what appears to be a metallic mesh growing on the surface of the deformation, and connecting to the wiring (However, examination has shown this to be in fact separate loops growing through its upper layers.) upon which SCP-836's rate of growth increases up to ███-fold. At this point, the deformations often superficially mimic surrounding enviroment, resulting in outside resemblance to structural features. Along with uniform density drop in surrounding material, SCP-836 at this stage can grow by repurposing entire sections of its surroundings. If lacking access to water sources, this stage of SCP-836 exhibits somewhat slower growth, and causes large reductions enviromental humidity.
Once SCP-836 specimens weighing at least ██ kg come into contact with a source of water, such as piping, they might enter proliferation stage though the precise conditions required are unknown. At this stage, outer layers of the deformation crumble, and enter the water stream. On first contact with most solids, growth similar to initial phase occurs. In this manner, SCP-836 is able to propagate rapidly, in one observed instance, covering roughly █ square kilometres in ██ days.

It has been shown that heating instances of SCP-836 to over 950 degrees Celsius for up to 4 minutes neutralises most non-metallic samples. For metallic samples applying warm nitric acid has been shown succesful.

Recovery Log: SCP-836 was first encountered by the Foundation on ██/██/199█ in ██████, Slovak Republic, following an investigation by the local police of an appartment house whose water and electricity usage had quadrupled during a period of two months, causing suspicion of cannabis indica farming.
The report given by the returning officer prompted investigation by a strike team lead by agent Dolezal.
Upon arrival at site, part of the structure's roof was found to have caved in, apparently due to a metallic growth cca. 1 metre across, found in the rubble. The walls contained an unlikely amount of windows and doors, most of which only had rudimentary mechanisms.
The body of one of the officers (apparent suicide via service weapon) was recovered from the bathroom of appartment of J████ N████, where he was sealed by a rogue wall growth blocking the door.
Due to extensive growths, basement of structure unexplored.
Procedure 28-Surtur successfully tested on structure as well as its surroundings on ██/██/199█. Area monitored until ██/██/20██.

SCP-511

rating: 0+x

Item #: SCP-511

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-511 is to be confined in a 6m x 8m cell furnished as per document HCP-03 (human or humanoid not posing significant danger)
Subject is to be fed twice per day.
Under no circumstances can any contained objects with memetic properties be housed on the same site as SCP-511 due to cross-contamination potential.

Description:
SCP-511 is a 27 year old man of Russian nationality. , approximately 185cm tall, and weighing 65 kg, blond hair. Documents identify him as Jurij O███████. Subject is of average intelligence (measured IQ 108) and fluent in Russian, however, communication may prove difficult due to subject's short attention span caused by constant sensory overstimulation, and other mental peculiarities.

SCP-511 appears to be aware of objects within a spherical radius of approximately ███ metres. This includes the object's general shape, position , relative size, and indirectly, velocity and acceleration - subject is able to predict the trajectories of objects in chaotic systems (see Addendum 511-3) The minimum size of objects of which SCP-511 is aware is yet to be determined.

SCP-511 was recovered by the Foundation while being interned at a mental hospital in ██████, ████████ Oblast following reports of anomalous behaviour from staff, first instance being reported on ██/██/199█.

SCP-712

Adult SCP-712 outside host

Item #: SCP-712

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Outside of testing, SCP-712 eggs are to be placed in cryogenic storage. D-class personnel infected for the purpose of testing are to be kept individually, and clearly marked with the source sample number in order to map potential linking and aid decontamination.
Live specimens belonging to a clique are to be manipulated at a temperature above 30 degrees celsius to prevent migration.
Otherwise, standard Bio-hazard level 2 procedures are to be observed. In case of an outbreak, all staff as well as their relatives are to undergo at least three cycles of praziquantel- or niclosamide- based treatment, coupled with antibiotic treatment (usually clindamycin or cephalosporins) in case a secondary infection develops.

In case of a localised natural outbreak of SCP-712 the infected population is to be quarantined and a general treatment attempted as stated for on-site outbreaks - this includes culling non-human vectors.

Description: SCP-712 is a tapeworm of the Taenia genus, anatomically resembling Taenia solium, the main physical distinctions being an elongated scolex and a low number (3-5) of uterine branches visible within the uteri of the proglottids when stained. Proglottids also contain clusters of neurons of undetermined function not present within Taenia solium proglottids, and microscopic analysis of surface tissue shows [REDACTED] oscillating at frequencies unique for each host clique..

In a manner analogous to other species of Taenia, SCP-712 's primary transmission route is through ingestion of eggs or gravid proglottids, and it utilises humans as a final host, while humans, pigs, cattle , and rarely pigeons may act as intermediate hosts in which cysticerci mature.

However, a secondary route of transmission exists which isn't shared with any known parasite - instances of SCP-712 of common origin can freely relocate between infected or formerly infected hosts through an as of now unknown mechanism, estabilishing a clique of hosts Adult specimens of SCP-712 were observed to grow "between hosts", that is, the scolex and a part of the strobila being located in one host's digestive tract, with the rest of the strobila continuing into another host. The migration appears to have no clear trigger.
Cliques may be able to merge upon contact, however more testing is required to confirm this hypothesis.
In case of host death, specimens of SCP-712 migrate in mass into other hosts within the clique. This seems to be triggered by the decrease in body temperature, as this behaviour was sucessfully provoked in a laboratory setting by cooling the sample by app. 8 degrees Celsius with respect to other samples.
The host choice appears to be random, though this isn't confirmed.
The migratory property makes treatment difficult as unless all nodes of a clique are treated, reinfection usually results from migratory cysticerci. Furthermore this mechanism provides a pathway for migration of microbes, facilitating the transmission of diseases such as infectious diarrhea, cholera or typhoid.

SCP-712 was discovered by the Foundation following autopsy report (Addendum 712-1) filed by Dr. Hans S████████ , the healthcare officer at an international refugee camp in ██████, treating what was thought to be an extremely persistent tapeworm outbreak among the refugees. The report was censored and healthcare staff at the camp treated with Class A amnesiacs.
The Foundation has succeeded in identifying key afflicted areas, and exterminating the parasite using the ███████ war and following humanitarian operations as a cover for widespread antihelminthic treatment of local population and [REDACTED], dramatically decreasing the worldwide incidence of SCP-712 outbreak frequency.

Addendum 712-1: EXCERPT OF AUTOPSY REPORT FILED BY DR. HANS S████████

Name: ██████████ ███ ███████
Age: 31 years Sex: Male
Height: 171cm Weight: 60 kg
Identified By: Admission documents (██/██/████)
Autopsy Authorised By: Dr. █████ ████████

I hereby certify that I, Dr. Hans S████████, have performed an autopsy on the body of ██████████ ███ ███████ at [REDACTED] on the █████ day of █████, 19██, and that the said autopsy revealed:

FINDINGS
01 Cardiac failure caused by:
A) Bacteremia resulting in septic shock
B) Acute bacterial peritonitis
02 Stercoral perforation with leakage into peritoneum caused by:
A) Obstruction of Ileum caused by a fecalith.
03 Taeniasis despite previous treatment (see attached medical report), unusual number of specimens present.
[REDACTED]
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT:
Stomach and esophagus intact with normal GE junction and wiithout erosion, gastritis, varices or ulcers. Fluid buildup in stomach and duodenum, presumed due to obstruction. Duodenum and jejunum contain several adult Taenia specimens of unknown species.Manipulation while attempting to separate a specimen for further study has revealed it to be several metres long, despite apparent length of the strobila cca. 10 centimetres, terminating at intestinal wall. This property was exhibited by several other specimens. Ileum perforated, with intestinal fluid leakage into peritoneum. Ileum contains a fecalith.formed around a tangle of adult Taenia specimens of unknown species. Liver weighs 1232 grams, reddish brown, homogeneous.. Billiary tree unremarkable. Pancreas weighs 94 grams, with yellow lobulated cut surface, showing no signs of acute or chronic pancreatitis.
[REDACTED]

Note: Death of subject was found to have occured within four days of an armed raid on [REDACTED] , residual population identified as belonging to the same host clique, suggesting mass migration of SCP-712 into host as culprit.. As the probability of such outcome given the size of the clique, and the number of casualties estimates 0.53% assuming truly random migration patterns, more research into posthumous migration of SCP-712 is needed. - Dr. Eisenberg


SCP-160 Revision

SCP-160 shortly after procurement

Item #: SCP-160

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: While not in testing, SCP-160 is to be stored in a guarded vault in Site-15, with atmosphere checked for excessive presence of sulphurous compounds.

Requests for on-site testing of SCP-160 must be approved by a researcher of 2/160 clearance.
During testing, at least two (2) armed personnel wearing ear protection capable of sound neutralisation must be present at all times in case of a containment breach.

SCP-160 is not to be taken outside of Site-15 unless a request detailing proposed use is approved by Dr. Eisenberg, Approved requests by Mobile Task Force (MTF) personnel take precedence over requests concerning on-site testing. During off-site use, all personnel must be wearing ear protection capable of sound neutralisation, and electronic voice-to-text devices. Only phrases and text segments present and approved in the request form may be used in conjunction with SCP-160 outside of emergencies - these must be memorised by the designated SCP-160 holder in each group.At least one researcher of 1/160 clearance must accompany such group at all times.

Due to the potential deleterious effects of the artifact, researchers are advised not to handle SCP-160 unless in the presence of at least one other person.

Description: SCP-160 appears to be a Soviet one ruble coin weighing 5.1 grams and of 23mm diameter, outwardly resembling coins minted during the T1920's.The face declares the year of minting to be 1994, despite the dissolution of USSR in 1991.
SCP-160 appears to be a dull-tipped triangular plate of base width 20mm and height of 27mm, weighing 5.1 grams. Its surface shows signs of heavy corrosion and pitting.

Chemical tests reveal the composition to be 74.2% silver, with the rest being copper, nickel ,and ██████ as well as traces of ███████, and █████ - this is different from the standard composition of any coinage used in USSR or Russian Federation. Upon further inspection, a small inscription becomes apparent in the upper section of the heel, detailing the site of minting to be ██████ in ███████ Oblast, █████, as well as the text "Of One Mind, towards glorious Future". the oxides and sulphates of which are responsible for surface texture and coloration.

Initial tests (see Addendum 160-3) have revealed that while handled by a person , SCP-160 causes subjects in his vicinity to regard anything stated by the holder as a matter of fact, up to the point of involving sensory hallucinations. It has been found (see Addendum 160-4) direct skin contact is unecessary for this. The secondary effect is voice-transmitted and although the threshold is below the lower bound of normal hearing, it is possible to block using high-grade soundproofing and/or active noise-cancellation. Furthermore, it was determined that if the message is read or repeated after another subject, SCP-160 produces no discernible effect.

SCP-160 is capable of inducing such beliefs and accompanying hallucinations in its holder, the probability of such increasing drastically when there are no other potential targets. Isolated holders exhibit an increased tendency to self-talk, triggering the effect, however, as of now it is unknown whether this is fully a consequence of isolation or whether it is being exacerbated by SCP-160, suggesting further testing.

A played recording of word spoken while holding SCP-160 produces no discernible effect, however, a live feed is equivalent to direct exposure..

SCP-160 came into attention of the Foundation after a string of gas station and newsagents' thefts in ████████ region, ██████ Republic. Security camera footage (Addendum 160-1) coupled with witness reports pointed to Igor P███ , an unemployed man living in the communal housing in ████, █████, henceforth referred to as subject.

During the subsequent police raid, subject persuaded one of the police officers to open fire at his colleagues, wounding two, but was subsequently captured and restrained, SCP-160 being among items collected upon personal examination.
SCP-160 was secured by agent N████ , after its accidental use resulted in the injury of eight (8) members of the police station staff.
Interviewing subject proved difficult both because of his low intellect (IQ 80) coupled with the deleterious effects of SCP-160, and has yielded little information. (addendum 160-2) The police station crew were distributed class A amnesiacs, while subject was reclassified as D-8351.

Addendum 160-1:

Addendum 160-2: Log of interview with Igor P███. [DATA EXPUNGED]
Addendum 160-3:

Addendum 160-4:
Due to apparent mental contamination of appointed research staff, determined to come from initial handling of SCP-160, 2/160 clearance has been granted to researcher ████ by order of O5-11. Personnel previously in contact with SCP-160 are to undergo psychiatric investigation on ██/██/████, until then , their SCP-160 clearance is revoked.


SCP-711

SCP-711 cleaned of secretions.(front view)

Item #: SCP-711

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: When not in testing, SCP-711 is to be kept within a liquid-proof container within a safe, the keycode known only to assigned personnel of level 2 and above. Once per week, the secretions of SCP-711 are to be drained and incinerated to prevent over-filling. At no time is any personnel to interact with SCP-711 or its secretions without donning a Class B Hazardous Materials suit as a minimum level of protection. Due to the mental hazard posed by SCP-711-2, any containment breach will result in termination of affected personnel.

Description: SCP-711 is a statuette of neolithic origin, depicting a headless person of indeterminate gender, outwardly resembling fertility cult deities of that era.
Its surface is somewhat worn, and several places appear to have sustained damage. Chemical testing has revealed the composing material to be sandstone.

The pedestal of SCP-711, as well as the chest region contain several apertures, and ultrasound scanning reveals internal cavities connecting to these.

The apertures within SCP-711 secrete a translucent oily substance of pale white colour (referred to as SCP-711-1) which readily evaporates and decomposes at room temperature and pressure. Mass spectrometry has revealed it to be composed mostly of organic elements; current research focuses on stabilising SCP-711-1 in order to facilitate further testing.

If coming into contact with a human subject (from now on referred to as SCP-711-2) , SCP-711-1 is readily absorbed through skin or mucous membranes.

Within the following three to five weeks, SCP-711-2 will undergo the following physical changes:

  • gradual decrease in basal metabolic rate
  • increased appetite
  • increased rate of tissue regeneration
  • propensity for adipocyte hyperplasia instead of hypertrophy, even in adult subjects.

The most notable change, however, is that SCP-711-2 gradually becomes a source of psychological contamination.

The presence of SCP-711-2 seems to alleviate feelings of hunger among subjects in its vicinity.

Furthermore, if presented with food, subjects exposed to SCP-711-2 feel compelled to feed most of it (80-95%) to SCP-711-2, although their own physiologic needs seem to take precedence. (However, it has been observed that if most present subjects are dystrofic, they proceed to remove and consume parts of SCP-711-2 to obtain nutrition) Subjects also feel a compulsion to defend any SCP-711-2 from perceived dangers, up to the point of disregarding their own safety. Stated effects don't seem tied to any single SCP-711-2, and appear unrelated to conscious wishes of SCP-711-2 in question.

SCP-711-2 retain mostly intact mental faculties, even at the point of mobility loss, although lack of mental stimulation causes a marked decrease in IQ. As the symptoms progress, approximately 35% of SCP-711-2 exhibit suicidal tendencies. Despite excessive weight gain, SCP-711-2 rarely suffer from cardiovascular problems beyond strain due to enlarged circulatory system - further research is warranted due to potential medical applications.

SCP-711 was discovered near ████, a city in northern Romania after a member of local militia discovered a deceased SCP-711-2 within the city perimeter (photodocumentation attached). Agent Ivančič gained interest in the case after the autopsy, performed at a local hospital, revealed a number of unusual traits (a body mass of 280% the national average, delayed decomposition progress with respect to estimated time of death and enviromental conditions, partial muscular atrophy, a scar pattern consistent with repeated tissue removal) as well as several features identifying him as ████ ███████ a member of a team of archaeologists, declared missing 18 months ago. The cause of death was found to be circulatory failure following extreme exertion and dehydration.

The corpse was seized by the Foundation, and civilian personnel involved were distributed class A amnesiacs.

A canine unit was able to track the path of the recovered SCP-711-2 into a small settlement ██ kilometers ████wards.

SCP-711 was found at an improvised altar in the former village council house, along with 8 live instances of SCP-711-2 of varying size, all showing lacerations and scarring similar to the deceased exemplar, along with 26 subjects of varying age and gender. Upon entering the main hall, subjects present assaulted the recovery team, and had to be terminated. Casualties involved Agent Barčič who fell under the influence of SCP-711-2 present, and Agent Kuruc who came into contact with SCP-711-1.

Several of the present subjects were identified as members of the missing team, and despite the difficulties posed by the amounts of refuse and human remains present, a number of personal items, along with the diary of professor Petrescu, the expedition leader, were recovered from the settlement.

SCP-692 in its original packaging, as procured by the Foundation

Item #: SCP-692

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Each package of SCP-692 is to be stored in a sealed plastic container. Any cloth, synthetic textile or other coming into contact with SCP-692 is to be incinerated within one (1) hour of incident, unless it is being used for testing, in which case it is to be incinerated after testing.

Security personnel present at testing are to be equipped with standard-issue gas-based flamethrowers.

Description: SCP-692 comprises 57 packages of "Weisser Riese" washing powder secured by the Foundation from a general store in ██████, Czech Republic, and several households nearby. All of the packages belong to the ████/███ production series.

Chemical testing reveals no statistically significant deviations from composition with respect to "Weisser Riese" washing powder of unaffected production series.

When an article of clothing exposed to SCP-692 comes into uninterrupted contact at least fifteen (15) minutes long with a living, multicellular organism, within following four (4) to fifteen (15) hours, the article, (referred to as SCP-692-1) will spontaneously animate.

SCP-692-1 at this stage show the contours of the imprinting organism, although bisection of several instances of SCP-692-1 has revealed that the inside of such contour contains air at ambient pressure.

Through an as-of-now unknown mechanism, SCP-692-1 is capable of locomotion, manipulation of objects, and at times, accretion of more articles of clothing into its mass. Furthermore, SCP-692-1 with a single "nucleating" item will behave as a single entity, even if there is no physical connection between the items (see accompanying photo-documentation.

The mode of behaviour of SCP-692-1 depends on the length of exposure to the imprinting organism, longer times resulting in a higher quality of simulation - approximately three hours of uninterrupted contact are sufficient for the imprinting of most mammals.

SCP-692-1 are unaffected by most mechanical damage, and as such, incineration is the recommended method of disposal.

Item #: SCP-601

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-601 are to be stored in cryogenic containment at at least three (3) G2 sites. Proposals for testing need the approval of at least two level 4 personnel.
Except for designated hosts, Class B Hazardous Materials suits are to be worn at all time while in contact with SCP-601, hosts or suspected hosts, and biosafety level 3 procedures are to be observed at all times.
Staff is reminded that acidic/caustic decontaminating agents are not to be used due to SCP-601's high resistance. Instead, substances such as [REDACTED] have been shown effective as well as multi-stage shower-cleaning or heat treatment.
All personnel in contact with SCP-601, hosts, or suspected hosts are to undergo weekly abdominal X-Ray scans for a period of ██ weeks since last exposure.
In case of a containment breach , all personnel are to be quarantined and mandatory X-Ray scanning is to be carried out to reveal possible infection. All personnel either showing no symptoms or determined to be within the incubation stage are to be administered ██████████- or ██████- based chemotherapy; personnel within higher stages of infection is to be terminated, their bodies treated as a class 3 biohazard.
Any outbreaks of SCP-601 among the general population are to be treated as a Keter-class hazard due to the ease with which some instances of SCP-601-2 can pass as members of general population, and a relatively long incubation stage coupled with rapid spreading constitutes a pandemic risk.
As such, large-scale treatment similar to containment breach procedure is to be attempted; in case of insufficient resources or isolated clusters where terminal stage SCP-601-2 have appeared, [DATA EXPUNGED].
Contaminated water bodies are to be treated as per Procedure 133-Salmacis.

Description: SCP-601 is a parasitic organism first encountered by the Foundation in the village of ███████, Romania. An adult specimen measures appr. 0.05-0.08mm and outwardly resembles a nematode. Both the adult form, and eggs are capable of surviving in both acidic and caustic enviroments - laboratory tests have shown a survival rate of above 80% for enviromental pH range between ██ and ██; this seems to be achieved through a combination of [REDACTED] and an internal pH buffering mechanism. [REDACTED] has been shown to be an effective form of prevention, though eggs are significantly more resistant.
Analysis of SCP-601's genome has [DATA EXPUNGED], prompting a request for classification upgrade. (see Addendum 601-1).
It is transmitted either through prolonged direct contact, or more often, by ingestion of food or beverages contaminated with eggs or rarely adult specimens of SCP-601.

A successful infection by SCP-601 has several stages, as follows.

Incubation Stage: - Incubation Period: Between ██ and ██ weeks.
In general SCP-601 either enters the host orally, or through skin/other tissues. In the first case it penetrates the wall of the small intestine, while in the second case it travels through tissues. When SCP-601 reaches the spine, it initiates the formation of SCP-601-1 - a cluster composed of [DATA EXPUNGED] neurons, covered in a protective membrane attached to the spine at varying locations inside the abdominal cavity.
Symptoms generally initiate after █ weeks, and include frequent obdormition of extremities, Restless Leg Syndrome, dizziness, weight gain, shortness of breath and frequent back pain. In rare cases, SCP-601 at this stage might mimic Parkinson's disease, cause paralysis, or, due to an unfavourable location of SCP-601-1, ascites may occur.

Active Stage I: During active stage, SCP-601-1 takes control of the host body. MRI on hosts in this stage, designated SCP-601-2 have demonstrated that the brain remains active, and responds to external stimuli - in early stages (within █ days since onset) of the disease, the excision of SCP-601-1 coupled with radiation treatment and ██████████- or ██████- based chemotherapy has led to a complete recovery in ██% cases, out of these, however further ██% were rendered insane and had to be terminated.
At the same time, SCP-601-1 begins producing a large amount of SCP-601 eggs, usually in clusters within SCP-601-2's abdominal cavity.

Active Stage II: The maturation of egg clusters, generally occuring within ██ days since Active Stage I onset triggers Active Stage II..
During this stage SCP-601-2 will seek contact with other humans in order to spread the infection. During this stage, SCP-601 forms numerous cysts on soft tissues. The cysts contain adult SCP-601 and frequently rupture, releasing the parasite if in contact with another person. The feces of SCP-601-2 at this stage contain large quantities of adult SCP-601, as well as varying quantities of blood due to intestinal damage.
At this stage, most SCP-601-2 are only capable of mimicking rudimentary human behaviour, such as locomotion, feeding, mating and attempts at speech, however, ██% cases have shown considerable intelligence and the ability to blend in the civilian population, and generally show intent on propagating SCP-601 by any available means. In █.█% cases, SCP-601-2 [DATA EXPUNGED].
Maturing of further clusters and the deterioration of SCP-601-2 leads to the onset of terminal stage.

Terminal stage: The onset of the terminal stage is dependant on the physical and mental condition of SCP-601-2, and as such, can take anywhere from ██ weeks to █ █████. This stage's visible symptoms include visible malnutrition, swelling of abdomen, bleeding from bodily orifices and increasing loss of body control, corresponding to last stage of SCP-601-1's lifecycle.
If unrestrained, SCP-601-2 will seek out bodies of water, and imbibing large quantities thereof, which triggers rapid hatching of the remaining clusters , as well as a number of changes in the host organism. Within ██ hours, SCP-601-2 will immerse itself in water, and seemingly cease life function. Within further █ hours, [DATA EXPUNGED], contaminating it.

Addendum 601-1: Re: Reclassification to Euclid - Denied by O5 council. Reason:Further outbreaks haven't been observed since ██/██/███, suggesting complete containment of SCP-601 and referred findings, even if confirmed aren't by themselves sufficient to warrant reclassification.


SCP-160

rating: 0+x

Item #: SCP-160

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: While not in testing, SCP-160 is to be stored in a guarded vault in Site-15, with atmosphere checked for excessive presence of sulphurous compounds.

During testing, at least two (2) armed personnel wearing ear protection capable of sound neutralisation must be present at all times in case of a containment breach.

Due to potential deleterious effects of the artifact, researchers are advised not to handle SCP-160 unless in the presence of at least one other person.

SCP-160 is not to be taken outside of Site-15 unless approved by Dr. Eisenberg, at least two (2) armed personnel wearing ear protection capable of sound neutralisation must be present at all times.
SCP-160 is not to be taken outside of Site-15 unless approved by at least four (4) Class 5 personnel as a part of Procedure 312-Jerevan in case of a mass containment breach. (see Addendum 160-4)

Description: SCP-160 appears to be a Soviet one ruble coin weighing 5.1 grams and of 23mm diameter, outwardly resembling coins minted during the 1920's.The face declares the year of minting to be 1994, despite the dissolution of USSR in 1991.

Chemical tests reveal the composition to be 74.2% silver, with the rest being copper, nickel ,and ██████ as well as traces of ███████, and █████ - this is different from the standard composition of any coinage used in USSR or Russian Federation. Upon further inspection, a small inscription becomes apparent in the upper section of the heel, detailing the site of minting to be ██████ in ███████ Oblast, █████, as well as the text "Of One Mind, towards glorious Future".

Initial tests (see Addendum 160-3) have revealed that while handled by a person , SCP-160 causes subjects in his vicinity to regard anything stated by the holder as a matter of fact, up to the point of involving sensory hallucinations. The effect is sound-transmitted, and it is possible to block it via the use of high-grade soundproofing. Furthermore, it was determined that if the message is read or repeated after another subject, SCP-160 produces no discernible effect.

The strength of the effect is somewhat adversely affected by increasing the amount of influenced subjects - in general, the sensory hallucinations don't manifest for groups above ██ members.

SCP-160 is capable of inducing such beliefs and accompanying hallucinations in its holder, the probability of such increasing drastically when there are no other potential targets. Isolated holders exhibit an increased tendency to self-talk, triggering the effect, however, as of now it is unknown whether this is fully a consequence of isolation or whether it is being exacerbated by SCP-160, suggesting further testing.

A played recording of word spoken while holding SCP-160 produces no discernible effect, however, a live feed induces a partial effect, lacking the sensory hallucination component.

SCP-160 was acquired by the Foundation after being alerted to a string of thefts at gas pumps and newsagent's in ████████ Region, ██████ Republic. Witness reports pointed to Igor P███ , an unemployed man living in the communal housing in ████, █████, henceforth referred to as subject.

During the subsequent police raid, subject persuaded one of the police officers to open fire at his colleagues, wounding two, but was subsequently captured and restrained, SCP-160 being found upon personal examination (addendum 160-1).
Its powers became apparent when the handling police officer proclaimed "Wish we had a bloody A/C - this place is hot like hell", resulting in [DATA EXPUNGED].

Interviewing subject proved difficult both because of his low intellect (IQ 80) coupled with the deleterious effects of SCP-160 (see addendum 160-2 for interview log). The police station crew were distributed class A amnesiacs, while subject was reclassified as D-8351.

Addendum 160-1:

Addendum 160-2: Log of interview of Igor P███.

Addendum 160-3:

Addendum 160-4: Revision of containment protocol
Tests involving self-contradicting statements consistently resulted in [DATA EXPUNGED] regardless of transmission method, containment protocol revised to diminish the probability of a live-feed broadcast of such.
