Dr.V —_: Thank you, that will be all for now. 
<End Log> 


Researcher's note: Several instances of 
SCP-2066-1 later reported difficulty sleeping 
due to the constant visibility of SCP-2066. 
Sleep was induced with medication; higher 
than the recommended dosage was required. 


Interview log 2066-L-2 (Day 2) 


Interviewed: SCP-2066-1-6 


Interviewer: Dr. V 


Foreword: SCP-2066-1-6 voluntarily 
requested an interview to report additional 
symptoms. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr.V :Helloagain,M — . You said you 
had a new development to report? 


SCP-2066-1-6: Yes. Breakfast was terrible. 
Dr. V : Pardon? 


SCP-2066-1-6: That's just the thing, normally | 
love pancakes. But today, | couldn't taste a 
damn thing. Couldn't smell it either. It was just 
kind of a wet - sorry, is there someone behind 
me? 


[SCP-2066-1-6 turns to look directly at 
researcher J, who was observing the 
interview through one-way glass. J was not 
visible from the interview room.] 


SCP-2066-1-6: Nevermind. Anyway, it could 
just be a cold, but my nose isn't stuffy. 


Dr. V : I'll make a note of it. Has there been 
any change in SCP-2066? 


SCP-2066-1-6: It's only 100 meters or so out 
now, but otherwise, no change. 


Dr. V_— _: All right, thank you for your time.

Interview log 2066-L-3 (Day 3) 
Interviewed: SCP-2066-1-6 


Interviewer: Dr. V 


Foreword: SCP-2066-1-6 reported additional 
symptoms, which were confirmed by the 
outpost medical team. An interview was 
conducted to obtain additional information 
about the progression of the condition. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr.V  :HelloM _ . Could you describe 
your symptoms again, for the record? 


SCP-2066-1-6: What? 


Dr.V___: Please repeat what you told me 
earlier. 


SCP-2066-1-6: Oh, right. | can't really see 
much any more, everything is getting kind of 
dim and... smeary, | guess? It's like there's 
some kind of dark smoke in the air. It's getting 
thicker all the time. Of course, | can still see 
that thing through the smoke. It's the only thing 
| can see clearly. 


And my hearing is getting muffled too. | don't 
think I'll be able to hear you much longer. 


That's not the weirdest part, though. | can feel 
this sort of sharpness around me. Not sharp 
like a knife, sharp like a really focused image. | 
think it's when people look at me. 


Dr.V —_: Would you prefer not to be 
observed? 


SCP-2066-1-6: No, no-no-no. It's actually quite 
pleasant. Kind of warm, and... warm and 
bright. Once my vision goes completely, it's 
about all I'll have to focus on. Well, other than 
that headless thing. 


It's getting harder not to look at it. It's about 50 
meters out now. | could use any distraction | 
can get. 


Dr. V _— :|I'llsee what we can do. Thank you 
for your cooperation. 


SCP-2066-1-6: Doctor? 
Dr. V : Yes? 


SCP-2066-1-6: How are the others holding 
up? 


Dr.V _— : I'm afraid | can't divulge that 
information. 


SCP-2066-1-6: Right. Yeah. Protocol. 
<End Log> 

Interview log 2066-L-4 (Day 4) 
Interviewed: SCP-2066-1-6 
Interviewer: Dr. V 


Foreword: All instances of SCP-2066-1 were 
given an accelerated course in braille so that 
communication could continue. Dr. V 

posed questions using a braille typewriter. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr.V =: 2066-1-6, has there been any 
change in your condition? 


SCP-2066-1-6: Figured they'd get around to it 
eventually. What, | don't get number one for 
being the team lead? 


Dr.V —-: 2066-1-6, the designations were 


assigned alphabetically. 


SCP-2066-1-6: | know. Just trying to add some 
levity to the situation. 


Dr. V ___: Please try to remain on topic. 


SCP-2066-1-6: [continues without reading the 
previous line] | mean, goddamnit, why am | 
trying to be so calm and professional all the 
time? Like this is no big deal? Who am | trying 
to impress? It's not like it would mean anything 
if you fired me now. In a few hours you could 
probably use literal fire and I'm not sure I'd 
even feel it. 


We both know exactly what's going on here. 
We're all anomalies now, and you're just 
milking us for as much information as you can 
before it's bullet-to-the-head time. 


Dr.V —_: We are doing everything we can to 
find a cure for your condition. 


SCP-2066-1-6: Everything you can. Yeah, I've 
worked here long enough to know what that 
means. 


[Subject stands up and walks to the side of the 
room, then proceeds to punch the wall, 
causing fractures of the second and third 
proximal phalanges. Subject does not appear 
to notice the injury.] 


SCP-2066-1-6: [Still facing the wall] lf you 
want info, here's all | can tell you: | can't see, | 
can't hear, | can't taste or smell, | barely felt 
the wall just now. All | can sense is that thing 
standing in front of me, and that weird twang 
when people look in my direction. | think | can 
feel them from all over the outpost now. 


Dr.V =: [Spoken]| don't think we'll get 
anything else from this one. This interview is 
concluded.

Incident log 2066-I-1 


Foreword: Between 13:47 and 

15:19 2/18/20 , all instances of SCP-2066-1 
were observed to move to the southwest 
corners of their cells. Analysis indicates that all 
were facing directly towards Nuuk, the largest 
settlement in Greenland. 


<Begin Log> 


[14:48] SCP-2066-1-6: | don't know what that 
is, but it's bright. Bright and crisp and warm 
and sharp and bright and moving and alive. 


[Subject remains silent for two hours] 


[16:51] SCP-2066-1-6: | can't keep from 
looking at that ugly thing now. It's right in front 
of me. It's right in front of me. 


<End Log> 


Beginning at 16:52, instances of SCP-2066-1 
began displaying physical abnormalities. 


[16:52] Skin begins to darken and toughen. 
Subjects appear to have reduced flexibility. 
[17:26] Sensory organs begin to shrivel and 
recede into the head. Hair begins falling out. 
[18:40] Skin is now indistinguishable from 
SCP-2066. Head and neck begin receding into 
torso. 


Given the danger to personnel at Outpost 
GRL-12 if SCP-2066-1 instances begin 


displaying the properties of SCP-2066, and the 
added risk of containing multiple instances off- 
site, | recommend that all instances be 
terminated. 


-Dr. V 


Termination is authorized. Proceed 
immediately. 


- Outpost-Director W

SCP-2067: Shah's Guardian 


Item #: SCP-2067 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2067 is currently inactive 
and contained in a concrete-lined steel chamber at Site-88. The 
chamber has a single entrance that is seamless when closed and 
only opens from the outside. Conditions that would cause SCP-2067 
to enter an active state include the existence of an Iranian leader 
who has taken the title of Shah, and that this Shah is located within 
the political boundaries of Iran. Containment is thus predicated on 
the continuation of Iran's Islamic republic. If a Shah potentially 
comes to power at some point, Foundation personnel are not 
permitted to approach this Shah or SCP-2067. 


SCP-2067 is still actively sought by the ORIA; knowledge of its 
location is therefore limited to Level 3 personnel and higher. Testing 
is neither permitted nor presently possible. 


Description: SCP-2067 is an animate non-sapient weapon dating 
back to the 16th century. It is composed of three sections: a solid 
mass of cloth wound in the fashion of a turban, 26 centimeters in 
diameter; a white cloth sheet, about 70 centimeters in length; and a 
51 centimeter scimitar blade with an ivory-covered tang. The cloth 
sheet is joined to the underside of the turban and hangs in the 
fashion of a robe with an opening at the front. The blade is attached 
to the end of an ivory chain, roughly one meter long, extending 
downward from the inside of the turban. The scimitar's curved steel 
blade has an unusually sharp cutting edge. During periods of 
inactivity, SCP-2067 hovers at an altitude of 1.9 meters, with its 
scimitar hanging freely. While inactive it can be moved by hand 
without provoking a reaction, though it will return to its normal 
altitude if it is raised or lowered. SCP-2067 has been noted to 
infrequently scratch short lines from the Quran upon the walls of its 
containment chamber. 


SCP-2067 was recovered from the possession of the Office For The 
Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts in 2005 following the February 22nd 
earthquake in Zarand. It was apparently designed by an unknown 
artisan around 1550 CE to serve as an autonomous defense drone 
for Shah Tahmasp | of Iran. Historical records recovered with 
SCP-2067 have noted that the creation of the artifact was neither 
requested by the Shah nor was its presence desired. 


From these historical records, SCP-2067 is described as having 
been able to sense the location, health and safety of the current 
Shah. If SCP-2067 sensed that the Shah was being attacked or was 
otherwise in danger, it would enter an active state. Characterized as 
overzealous in its defense, the white cloth of its turban would turn 
into black cloth, and it would wield its scimitar "with the motions of a 
cobra" to dismember any perceived threat to the Shah within its 
reach. While active it could move laterally at a top speed of roughly 
1.5 meters per second. 


SCP-2067 could not accurately distinguish between allies and 
enemies. When it was introduced to Tahmasp |, it severed the 
hands of a man standing by him and the entire right arm of a soldier 
nearby. It then hovered beside the Shah, preventing anyone from 
coming close. By Tahmasp I's order and with reportedly great 
difficulty on the part of his men, SCP-2067 was sealed in a cave, 
where it largely remained until the ORIA captured it in 1980 and 
contained it at their facility in Kerman Province. The artisan 
responsible for creating SCP-2067 was imprisoned after his initial 
presentation of the artifact to Tahmasp |; however, no records as to 
his death exist. 


Records indicate that each Shah between 1550 and 1980 knew of 
the existence of SCP-2067. Throughout that period, it was 
intentionally released by order of the Shah six times. Most notably, 
SCP-2067 was released by Fath-Ali Shah Qajar in 1813, for whom it 
prevented an assassination attempt, and by Nader Shah in 1747, for 
whom it did not. At least 90 total casualties resulted from the six 
incidents. It seems that SCP-2067 was never destroyed because, 
although it is not organic, it was considered successful takwin — 
artificial life created with alchemy — and that to destroy it was 
believed to be an unholy act. 


During the Iranian Revolution of 1979, Mohammed Reza Shah 
ordered that SCP-2067 be released to defend him. SCP-2067 had 
already entered an active state, however, and is known to have 
dismembered at least sixteen revolutionaries as it attempted to 
reach Mohammed Reza on a straight-line path. It became inactive 
again when the Shah was exiled and left the country. Since the 
Revolution, Iran has not had a Shah, and thus SCP-2067 remains 
inactive for the time being. 


More recent documentation has linked the unknown artisan with an 
elderly Tehranian man recovered by ORIA in 2012.

SCP-2068: Chaos Pump 


Item #: SCP-2068 
Object Class: Euclid Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2068 is to be contained in 
a two meter cubed insulated pressurized vault in Site-15 Armed Bio- 
Containment Area-14. The vault shall be within its own Faraday 
cage, and no electronics shall be permitted within twenty fifty 
meters. The interior of the vault shall have a nitrogen atmosphere at 
200 kPa pressure, which shall be remotely monitored via analog 
pressure gauges. The interior of the vault will be visually monitored 
through a system of mirrors and lenses to keep the cameras outside 
the prohibited range. 


Should the first vacuum seal be broken, backup tertiary seals shall 
engage and liquid nitrogen pumped into the vault to 10 MPa 
pressure and 70 Kelvin for forty-eight hours, after which pressure 
shall be reduced to 25 10 Pascal and temperature raised to 400 525 
Kelvin for an additional forty-eight hours. Under no circumstances is 
atmosphere to be vented, but rather heated to 600 Kelvin converted 
to ammonia via Haber process and used as fuel. 


If secondary seals should fail, storage area shall be sealed, interior 
heated to 1000 Kelvin and ammonia fuel pumped within the vault. 
Temperature and sealing should remain in place for twenty-four 
hours, then additional ammonia fuel pumped in. Should fuel ignite, 
on-site warhead should be armed and quarantine put into effect, and 
interior heated to 1800 Kelvin until combustion ceases. Storage area 
will be evacuated and atmosphere treated to ensure containment, 
then SCP-2068 Neutralization will be enacted. All surviving 
personnel will remain in quarantine for two months to verify 
SCP-2068 has not broken containment, and undergo testing during 
that time. 


Should tertiary seals fail, on-site warhead shall be detonated. 


Testing shall be carried out in a shielded room by technical staff D- 
class under clean bio-hazard level 4 conditions. Presently, all testing 
requires approval from level 5/2068 aside from remote observation 
has been suspended and requires majority O5 authorization to 
resume. 


Description: SCP-2068 is a reciprocal pump manufactured by the 

Corporation. SCP-2068 was discovered by Coalition Military 
Forces in, lraqon , 200 in the possession of militia forces. 
After a failed remote disruption, in place Foundation assets 
contained the device and brought the item to Site-15, due to the 
detection of unique electronic signatures. 


Upon examination, Dr. discovered SCP-2068 contained several 
biological mechanisms of unknown artifice. Testing showed 
SCP-2068 to be the housing for a biological computer as well as 
several other organs linked together by circulatory and nerve 
analogs. Through experimentation, Dr. deduced its purpose was 
to draw in energy and resources from the environment to both make 
various hydrocarbon compounds as well as to make more versions 
of itself. 


Subsequent interviews suggest that SCP-2068 was to be placed at 
one of the depleted oil wells in the region in order to revitalize the 
well and to serve as a covert source of power and revenue. 
However, further testing showed SCP-2068 had additional abilities, 
hence the need for more stringent safeguards and procedures. 


Addendum 2068-2: On //20 , Site-15 suffered partial containment 
failure, centered around SCP-2068, SCP- ,SCP-_ , and SCP- 
Analysis showed biological contamination by SCP-2068 in 
technicians, showing changes in the limbic system as well as lesions 
in the gastrointestinal tract. Security footage shows the affected 
technicians vomiting on security controls, resulting in compromised 
safeguards and containment failure with casualties, and an 
additional euthanized due to spreading contamination even after 
surgical removals of affected tissues. Furthermore, medical 
personnel were infected. 


SCP-2068 shall have its containment upgraded and sent to 
ABCA-14, effective immediately. Upgrade to Keter denied.
