Dr. Kim: Do you have any motive for running 
people over? 


SCP-2434-1-17: It pays well. [pause] That, 
and everyone Is doing it now. 


Dr. Kim: Are there others that take pride or 
enjoy doing this? 


SCP-2434-1-17: Enjoy? [laughs] There's this 
one Mustang who thinks he's the shit. Got 
more blood on his hood than paint. One time 
he had a trail of guts from his tire tracks, and 
let me tell you, those Prii! were all over him. It 
was disgusting. 


Dr. Kim: Ok. Just wondering: Does this 
happen to be illegal? 


SCP-2434-1-17: About as illegal as running on 
gasoline. 


Dr. Kim: I'm assuming that's a yes. 
Both remain silent for 7 seconds. 


SCP-2434-1-17: | really have nothing against 
you guys. | wish that they taught more about 
you people in our time. We don’t look at you 
too favorably. [pause] This is my first time 
seeing a human face for a long time. Is ... is 
this really how you are? 


<End Log> 


Conclusion: Further interviewing of 
SCP-2434-1-17 has proven inconclusive. 


+ Interview of SCP-2434-1-19 
Interviewed: SCP-2434-1-19 
Interviewer: Dr. Kim 


Foreward: SCP-2434-1-19 is identical to a 
Volkswagen Beetle, dated 1991. Note that 
SCP-2434-1-19 is the only instance capable of 
vertical flight under Foundation custody. 


<Begin Log> 
Dr. Kim: Where did you come from? 


SCP-2434-1-19: | came from Earth, like 
everyone else. 


Dr. Kim: Where exactly did you come from? 


SCP-2434-1-19: You mean like, exact 
location? 


Dr. Kim: Yes 


SCP-2434-1-19: | can't really tell. It's all ruins 
where | come from. 


Dr. Kim: Can you tell me what year? 


SCP-2434-1-19: Oh, we lost track of years 
long time ago. We don't need them. 


Dr. Kim: [sighs] Can you give a time period? 


SCP-2434-1-19: My odometer is stuck at 
999,999 miles, if that helps. 


Dr. Kim: Is there anything else you'd like to 
add? 


SCP-2434-1-19: | ... 
Dr. Kim: Excuse me? 


SCP-2434-1-19 remains silent for 
approximately a minute. As Dr. Kim is getting 
ready to leave, SCP-2434-1-19 speaks again. 


SCP-2434-1-19: It was my mother. 
Dr. Kim immediately sits down. 


Dr. Kim: What about your mother? Feel free to 
explain. 


SCP-2434-1-19: She told me not to speak ill of 
the dead. That's all it means, really. | wish | 
can explain more, but they don’t tell us much. 
[pause] Now that | think of it, we have a 
strange society. Everyone strives to become 
someone, but we all just wander around, being 
told what to do. Things were a lot different 
when my mom was around. It was orderly, and 
neat. They were simple times. | wish my 


mother was still here. She told me back then 
that people always wander around, being told 
what to do. But | never believed her. 


Dr. Kim: Interesting. Now, I'm just wondering: 
What type of automobile was your mother? 


SCP-2434-1-19: Oh no, she wasn't a car. She 
was human. 


<End Log> 


Conclusion: Further inquiry towards 
SCP-2434-1-19's "mother" led to a person 
named . Access to associated 
interview logs requires Level 3 Security 
Clearance or higher.

On //_ ,Acargo aircraft (identical to an Airbus 
A400M) materialized in [REDACTED]. The aircraft 
appeared at an initial soeed of approximately 300 km/h 
before stopping. The crash resulted in casualties and 
over $30,000,000 in property damages. 


In the wreckage, a total of 28 automobiles were 
recovered from inside the cargo aircraft. Two 
automobiles (presumed to be instances of SCP-2434-1) 
were taken back to Site- . The crash site was notified to 
the NTSB2. Broadcasts pertaining to the crash were 
intercepted, and witnesses of the event were 
administered Class-A amnestics. 


The following is an excerpt of an interview. Note that 
SCP-2434-1-31 pauses for a considerable amount of 
time between words, while SCP-2434-1-32 is mostly 
unintelligible. Transcripts pertaining to the instances and 


their speech have been edited for proper 
comprehension. For an unedited transcript, refer to 
Senior Researcher for permission: 


Dr. Kim: Can you tell us what happened? 
SCP-2434-1-31: Trip .. vacation ... fly ... 


SCP-2434-1-32: We went through on air 
[unintelligible] because it was cheaper. 


Dr. Kim: Ok, wait a minute. Talk one at a time 
please. SCP-2434-31, you go first. 


SCP-2434-1-32 plays static noises from its 
stereo system. 


Dr. Kim: I'm referring to the Hyundai. 


SCP-2434-1-31: We were flying on Air 
Rengade because it's cheaper. Usually it's 
difficult to get, but my friend got connections. 


Dr. Kim: [Faces SCP-2434-1-32] Alright. 
How'd you get here? 


SCP-2434-1-32: The damn plane was 
[unintelligible] due due [instance repeats word 
for several seconds] to some weird cabs. They 
[unintelligible] but we knew they were terror. 


Dr. Kim: Ok. Care to reiterate? [points towards 
SCP-2434-1-31] 


SCP-2434-1-31: They were radicals who 
wanted to prove a point. 


Dr. Kim: Excuse me? 


SCP-2434-1-32: They w-w-w [instance repeats 
phrase for 15 seconds] 


SCP-2434-1-32 ceases to communicate for 
the duration of the interview. 


SCP-2434-1-31: I'll try my best to finish what 
he was trying to say. The cabs wanted 
freedom. They knew better than anyone else 
who humans really were. They drove them 
everywhere. They wanted to come back home 
to see them one last time. 


SCP-2434-1-31 ceases to communicate.

SCP-2435: Empty Space 


Item #: SCP-2435 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2435-1 and SCP-2435-2 
are to be sealed in a 2 cubic meter block of copper and 0.5 cubic 
meter block of silver, respectively. Both are to be contained inside 
separate secure containment lockers. Under no circumstances are 
SCP-2435-1 and SCP-2435-2 to come in physical contact with each 
other (see Incident 2435-D). 


An emergency inspection for any imperfections in SCP-2435-1 and 
SCP-2435-2's containment cubes will be carried out immediately 
following any earthquake or explosion within 10 km of containment. 
If the containment cubes for SCP-2435-1 or SCP-2435-2 show signs 
of damage, maintenance personnel are to be alerted to make 
immediate repairs. If SCP-2435-1 or SCP-2435-2 are uncontained 
for longer than 336 hours SCP-2435 is deemed a potential risk for a 
ZkK-class "Reality Failure" scenario and Protocol 987-Israfil is to be 
enacted immediately. 


Description: SCP-2435-1 (formerly SCP-2435) is a 1.017 cubic 
meter block of empty space. Almost all matter that attempts to 
occupy the same space as SCP-2435-1 vanishes at the quantum 
level. Matter is only lost up to what enters the space occupied by 
SCP-2435-1. SCP-2435-1 expands as it consumes matter, gaining 
0.00000017 meters on all sides for every 1 gram it consumes. 


Copper is immune to SCP-2435-1's matter consuming properties 
and is incapable of entering the space SCP-2435-1 occupies. 
SCP-2435-1 appears to be a solid object when touched by copper 
instruments, capable of being moved and manipulated. SCP-2435-1 
is not restricted in growth by copper but can be cut off from other 
elements with proper shielding by copper. SCP-2435-1, if not acted 
upon by a copper object, will remain in the exact location it was last 


moved to. SCP-2435-1, if left in the air, can exist above the ground 
independently for an indefinite period of time. 


Photons along the electromagnetic spectrum from 400 THz to 
890 THz are immune to SCP-2435-1's properties, and are able to 
pass freely through the space it occupies. 


SCP-2435-2 is a 0.12 cubic meter block of empty space. 
SCP-2435-2 exhibits nearly all the same anomalous properties of 
SCP-2435-1. However, in testing SCP-2435-2 it was discovered to 
be able to consume copper, unlike SCP-2435-1. SCP-2435-2 is 
incapable of consuming silver, which has the same effect on it as 
copper does on SCP-2435-1. 


Addendum 2435-01-A: If SCP-2435-1 were allowed to exist ina 
non-vacuum environment, due to diffusion of naturally occurring gas 
and impact with solid objects, Foundation research personnel have 
predicted it would expand at an exponential rate, consuming all non- 
copper matter in the known universe within years. 


Addendum 2435-01-B: Following extensive imaging of SCP-2435-1 
shortly after recovery, it was determined that there was an irregular 
layer of copper dust covering the top surface of SCP-2435-1, 
consistent with the amount of copper atoms in the bodies of 
approximately 12 adult humans. 


Addendum 2435-01-C: If SCP-2435-2 were allowed to exist ina 
non-vacuum environment Foundation research personnel have 
predicted it would consume all non-silver matter in the known 
universe within years. 


Incident 2435-A: (3-5-  ) SCP-2435-1 was discovered in an airtight 
copper chest with a dozen illegible names inscribed on the surface. 
Agent Wilson opened the chest, breaking the airtight seal and, 
believing it was empty, attempted to search the insides of the chest. 
Agent Wilson extended his right hand into SCP-2435-1, which was 
consumed up to the wrist. Approximately 3 hours after breaking the 
chest's seal, SCP-2435-1 grew beyond the confides of the chest and 
forced the sides apart. 


Incident 2435-B: (9-17- ) During a breach in containment of SCP- 


at Site-19, 6 D-Class personnel attempted to hide from SCP- in 
SCP-2435-1's containment chamber. SCP-2435-1 was not under 
current containment procedures, and was instead placed ona 
copper platform in the center of a hermetically sealed vacuum 
chamber for testing. D-Class were able to gain access to 
SCP-2435-1's containment chamber. While attempting to hide, 
D-19098 ran into SCP-2435-1 and was consumed. The remaining 5 
D-Class were found and [DATA EXPUNGED] by SCP-_, which 
avoided SCP-2435-1. A layer of copper was later observed on 
SCP-2435-1 consistent with the amount in an adult male body. 


Incident 2435-C: (9-12- ) D-19098 spontaneously reappeared in 
SCP-2435-1's containment chamber in a delirious state. D-19098 
expired from asphyxiation within 4 minutes of emerging from 
SCP-2435-1 due to the absence of oxygen in SCP-2435-1's 
containment chamber. Medical personnel attempted to resuscitate 
D-19098 but were unsuccessful. During autopsy of D-19098, 
researchers noted D-19098 was suffering symptoms of extreme 
copper deficiency, as well as the removal of D-19098's tongue, 
digestive tract, and [REDACTED], resulting in discovery of 
SCP-2435-2. Upon further examination, a series of numbers was 
discovered carved into the underside of D-19098's rib bones, 
appearing to be a message in binary. Upon translation, this 
message read "You Lose. Try Again?" 


D-19098 left enough dust on SCP-2435-1 for one body 
when he went in, and when we found SCP-2435-1 there 
was enough aust for a dozen bodies on it, maybe more. 
When he came out of it, next thing we knew SCP-2435-2 
was found inside D-19098. It was like it had been planted 
in there, like some kind of bomb, with wires coming out 
of the empty space attaching it to him. Given all this, 
there's a theory among the other researchers that there 
are potentially a dozen more of these cubes out there 
somewhere. Some even think this could be a kind of 
deliberate attack, invasion, or even a challenge, given 
the message we found under D-19098's rib cage. Either 
way, if this is correct, then retrieval and containment of 
them should be a top priority. - Dr. Hays 


SCP-267: Tumorvore 


Item #: SCP-267 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-267 is contained in a cave 
formation within Site-37. Live animals must be supplied to replace 
any that succumb during the course of feeding. A population of 
livestock is maintained on site for this purpose. Any personnel 
interacting with SCP-267 organisms should be furnished with level 4 
isolation equipment, and a tranquilizer weapon and stun gun for 
protection. 


Wild occurrences of SCP-267 must be eradicated as soon as they 
are detected. Recovered human victims cannot be rehabilitated, but 
are to be removed for use in ongoing observation of possible anti- 
senescent effects of SCP-267's venomous excretions. 


Description: SCP-267 are hairless, sightless, carnivorous rodents 
highly adapted for subterranean life in eusocial colonies. A single 
nest is currently contained in the cave formations in : 

. SCP-267 is biologically similar to Heterocephalus glaber, but 
represents a distinct subspecies. 


Members of an SCP-267 colony spend the vast majority of their lives 
underground. They lack eyes completely, and auditory and tactile 
senses are atrophied. They do not seem to experience pain or any 
sense of self-preservation. They are extremely sensitive to smell 
and airborne chemical stimuli, which they use for navigation, 
hunting, and communication. Unlike in eusocial arthropods, there is 
no queen. There are caste divisions in its population, however, 
including workers, soldiers, breeders, and nursery attendants. 


SCP-267 has sharp teeth and claws, but its primary weapon is its 
venom. The venom is effective in uL amounts and has aggressive 
paralytic and carcinogenic effects. In a hunt, dozens of soldiers 


Incident 2435-D: (12-24- ) 2 D-Class personnel were instructed to 
attempt to return SCP-2435-2 into SCP-2435-1. This resulted in a 
spontaneous release of energy as SCP-2435-1 and SCP-2435-2 
came in contact. This discharge also revealed irregular ripples on 
the surface of both instances of SCP-2435, and caused power 
failures throughout Site-19. Within 30 seconds of exposure to each 
other, SCP-2435-1 and SCP-2435-2 created a vacuum effect at their 
point of impact, which caused an unprecedented increase in their 
growth speeds. D-17839, the D-Class handling SCP-2435-1, was 
unable to resist the vacuum pull and was consumed entirely by 
SCP-2435-1. D-18987 was able to remove SCP-2435-2 from 
contact with SCP-2435-1, which eliminated the vacuum effect. 
Power was restored to Site-19 within 2 hours. To date, D-17839 has 
not emerged from SCP-2435-1.

SCP-2436: One of the Huldufolk 


Item #: SCP-2436 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: An area of four square 
kilometers around the projected location of SCP-2436-1 is to be 
designated Site 431 and fenced off. Civilians who enter the area are 
to be removed with a minimum of force. Site 431 is to be staffed at 
all times by no less than three researchers and two guards, all of 
whom are to be fluent in Icelandic and experienced with the raising 
of livestock. Researchers assigned to Site 431 are to be trained in 
the handle and care of rare books. Ordinary operation of the farm 
located at Site 431 is to continue at all times, and any living, adult 
heirs of Hjértur Armannsson, legal owner of the farm prior to the 
establishment of Site 431, are to receive equal shares of a monthly 
stipend consisting of one half of the farm's net profits. 


At no time is any significant alteration to the main Site 431 structure 
to be made, and any damages which occur are to be repaired 
immediately. Interpretation of what constitutes a major alteration to 
the structure is to be left to the discretion of the director of Site 431. 


Former SCP-2436-2 instances are to be housed in a standard 
security locker in the cellar of the main Site 431 structure. Active 
SCP-2486-2 instances are to be accessible to all site research 
personnel, and kept on the ground floor of the main Site 431 
structure at all times. Access to former SCP-2436-2 instances is to 
be by approval of the site director only.
