SCP-3455: 411 Days A Year 


Item #: SCP-3455 
Object Class: Archon! 


Special Containment Procedures: Standard Foundation operating 
procedures are to be maintained during SCP-3455 so far as is 
possible. Foundation personnel acting in manners directly contrary 
to the goals of the Foundation during SCP-3455 are to be severely 
reprimanded following its conclusion. 


Prior to the conclusion of SCP-3455, all critical data is to be backed 
up at a temporally isolated storage site. 


Research into the cause of SCP-3455 is ongoing, though it is to be 
noted that should the cause be discovered it is vital that its effects 
are preserved; SCP-3455 failing to correctly reset at the end of an 
iteration would cause irreparable damage to normalcy. 


Description: SCP-3455 is a temporal anomaly that subverts the 
linear flow of time, occurring annually at 00:00 GMT on March 17th. 
At the initiation of SCP-3455 all affected humans will immediately 
regain all memories they had during the previous iteration of 
SCP-3455, which typically includes knowledge of SCP-3455 and its 
nature. 


SCP-3455 lasts for exactly 47 days, concluding at 23:59 GMT on 
May 3rd. Following its conclusion, time reverts back to the point that 
it initially started; any changes made during SCP-3455 are removed 
from causality and all knowledge acquired is lost. Time then 
progresses normally until the beginning of the next iteration. 


Human behaviour changes significantly during SCP-3455; this is not 
believed to be related to the anomaly itself, but rather a 
consequence of the regained knowledge from previous iterations of 
the anomaly and the general cultural perception of the time 


encompassed by SCP-3455 being consequence-free. Notable 
increases in displays of hedonism occur globally, along with a 
general increase in nihilistic beliefs and lowering of personal 
inhibitions. Actions that would typically be considered reckless or 
wasteful are also common occurrences. SCP-3455 has been widely 
designated as an extra month in the calendar named Liberary 
amongst the civilian population.2 


Incidence rates of anomalous activity increase far beyond baseline 
during SCP-3455. Containment of new anomalies during this time is 
complicated by the general public awareness of anomalous activity 
and of the Foundation itself. Despite this, all Foundation personnel 
are to maintain standard operation during SCP-3455. 


The first SCP-3455 event is believed to have occurred in 1976, 
though the baseline Foundation did not become aware of it until 
1987, when the technology to temporally isolate data from the 
timestream was developed. 


> Notable Events During SCP-3455 


Note: for ease of distinction between time in SCP-3455 
and baseline time, the month name Liberary will be used 
to designate dates within SCP-3455. 


1978 

Presumed to be the third iteration of SCP-3455, and the 
first in which humanity as a whole has become aware of 
its effects. Notable for wide-spread rioting, the collapse 
of a number of governments, and the complete collapse 
of public and emergency services across large parts of 
the world. 


1980 

Believed to be the first iteration referred to as "Liberary" 
throughout popular media, though the source is 
unknown. Significant increase in promiscuous sexual 
behaviour world-wide, along with wide-spread street 
parties in major cities. 


Mount St. Helens did not erupt during SCP-3455 as it did 


in baseline time. The significance of this is unknown. 


1983 

Formation of the "Children of Liber", a cult that practices 
extreme hedonism during SCP-3455. The concept 
quickly becomes popular in a number of areas of the 
world, and spawns a number of groups with similar 
philosophies. The founder of this cult is unknown. 


1985 

On Liberary 17th, the USSR launched five nuclear 
weapons at the moon, which impacted approximately 
three days later. On Liberary 23rd, the US launched ten 
nuclear weapons at the moon. The first set of explosions 
were not visible to the naked eye due to the full moon at 
the time. Due to the later phase of the moon and the 
specific impact locations, three of the detonations of US 
weapons were briefly visible as small but bright flashes. 
This led to a declaration of victory by the US 
government, though no further details were given. 


1986 

On Liberary 33rd at 17:00GMT a total of 57 simultaneous 
terrorist attacks were carried out in major cities 
throughout the world. The exact fatality count is 
unknown, but believed to be over 5000. The perpetrators 
were not identified. 


1987 

There is a notable increase in diagnosed cases of PTSD, 
especially amongst victims of violence during previous 
iterations of SCP-3455. This is believed to be related to 
the sudden recall of memories of past iterations. 


The popularity of groups such as the Children of Liber 
increases. A number of low level anomalous phenomena 
have additionally become associated with the Children of 
Liber themselves. Investigations are ongoing. A month 
long festival popularly called Liberalia gains traction ina 
number of areas of the world, characterised by the use of 
a variety of anomalous drug compounds that are typically 


dispersed through the air. This festival reoccurs during 
almost every iteration. 


Technological developments by Foundation personnel 
enable the preservation of data during SCP-3455 
iterations, giving personnel in baseline time access to 
recorded data and knowledge from within SCP-3455. 
The anomaly receives its official designation in baseline 
time. 


1990 

Saddam Hussein announces that he is commissioning a 
50m tall statue of himself to be built in Baghdad. It is 
estimated to be 20% complete by the end of the iteration. 


Investigations into the anomalous activity associated with 
the Children of Liber are ongoing, though no information 
on their leadership or any of the reported anomalous 
activity has been found thus far. 


1991 

The Children of Liber are confirmed to be led by an 
individual named Paul Hagenson, designated Pol-54112. 
An attempt to question Pol-54112 regarding previously 
observed anomalous activity ended in violence, resulting 
in the termination of him and a number of his followers. 


An anomalous event on Liberary 41st resulted in the 
complete disappearance of the islands of Madagascar 
and Ireland, and approximately 80% of the landmass of 
Japan, to a depth of approximately 800m below sea 
level. The resulting rapid changes in sea level caused 
significant disruption in coastal areas worldwide. This 
event did not occur in baseline time. 


1992 

On Liberary 5th knowledge of the Foundation becomes 
public, as the Site Director for Site-76 sends large 
amounts of classified data to news outlets world-wide. As 
a consequence of this action, Foundation activities 
during SCP-3455 iterations have suffered severe 


complications due to civilian and governmental 
interference. 


Security procedures were significantly updated in 
baseline time to prevent such breaches reoccurring. The 
individual responsible for the breach was dismissed from 
their employment with the Foundation following the 
administration of Class-E amnestics. 


People who disappeared during the previous iteration 
possessed no memory of the event that occurred. By all 
accounts, their memory of the iteration ends at the time 
the event occurred. 


1993 

Larami$ announced the construction of "the worlds 
largest water gun", which was completed on Liberary 
32nd. The activation of the device resulted in the 
destruction of itself and nine buildings directly in its path. 
The column of water fired escaped the atmosphere and 
created a temporary cloud of water vapour in orbit. The 
use of anomalous technology is suspected, though 
investigations in baseline time could not corroborate this. 


It is confirmed that no record of Pol-54112 can be found 
in baseline time, despite his presence within SCP-3455. 


1996 

The anomalous website "childrenofliber.com" was first 
noticed during this iteration. During SCP-3455, the 
website features news and world-wide event listings 
pertaining to SCP-3455; outside of SCP-3455, the 
website features a simple timer counting down to the 
next SCP-3455 iteration. Attempts to trace the owner of 
the domain or the server hosting the website have failed, 
in and out of SCP-3455 iterations. 


1997 

On Liberary 36th, a pod of bottlenose dolphins 
approaches the shore near Port Elizabeth, South Africa, 
and begins performing various works of William 


Shakespeare in English. Due to widespread knowledge 
of the Foundation, this event becomes public before 
containment can be established. The event does not 
occur in baseline time. 


1999 

Increased tensions between the US and China related to 
events from from both baseline time and the previous 
iteration of SCP-3455 lead to declarations of war. While 
the impact is minimal there are a number of attacks on 
military targets from both sides. 


2000 

Hostilities begun in the previous iteration resume, with 
far more coordinated strikes from both sides. Strikes on 
both military and civilian targets result in thousands of 
casualties on both sides. An impromptu meeting of the 
United Nations towards the end of the iteration descends 
into chaos as old and unrelated grievances between a 
number of countries are reignited. 


Attempts to find more information on Pol-54112 have 
repeatedly failed. Given public knowledge of the 
Foundation and his awareness of Foundation interest in 
him, he appears to be actively avoiding contact. 


2001 

Conflict emerges world-wide as a result of the events 
from the previous iteration. While significant portions of 
armed forces world wide remaining absent from the 
conflict, significant damage is caused to the global 
infrastructure for communications and power. Shipping 
and transport routes are disrupted by the conflict, leading 
to food shortages in a number of areas across the world. 
Casualties are high and structural damage is significant, 
considering the relatively short period of time and limited 
man power on all sides. These conflicts continue for the 
next three iterations, with similar results. 


2005 
While no official resolution to the ongoing conflict is 


reached, hostilities functionally cease due to lack of 
available man-power across the world, as members of 
armed forces throughout the world simply refuse to 
participate.5 


Pope John Paul II did not die during this iteration, despite 
the illness that lead to his death in baseline time 
beginning before SCP-3455. The significance of this is 
unknown. 


2009 
An attempted interaction with Pol-54112 again results in 
his termination. 


An unknown form of energy storm formed over the South 
Pacific Ocean on Liberary 41st and began moving west 
towards Australia, leaving a temporal void in its wake.® 
The storm made landfall on Liberary 46th, obliterating a 
significant portion of coastal Queensland before 
dissipating. 


In baseline time, the non-anomalous Cyclone Yolanda 
followed a similar path and timetable, resulting ina 
severe number of fatalities and major damage to the 
region. 


2010 

Pol-54112 willingly surrendered to Foundation personnel 
for the purposes of establishing a dialogue. The 
conducted interview is transcribed below. 


> Open Pol-54112 Interview Transcript 


Interviewer: Agent Ryan Christchurch. 
Interviewee: Pol-54112 (Paul Hagenson) 
Date: Liberary 45th, 2010. 


Christchurch: Okay, let's begin. You've 
actively resisted our attempts at making 
contact in the past, Mr. Hagenson- 


Pol-54112: Paul, please. 
Christchurch: -so why talk to us now? 


Pol-54112: Can you blame me? Everyone 
knows how you operate. People locked away, 
weird shit in secret black-sites all over the 
world. | don't have much interest spending my 
time trapped in a cage. But, I've grown tired of 
spending time | should be enjoying looking 
over my shoulder, and I've recently become 
aware of something that affords me a little... 
leverage. 


Christchurch: And what's that? 


Pol-54112: First, let me ask you; what do you 
know about me? 


Christchurch: You founded the Children of 
Liber during Liberary 1983 and have led them 
since. You've become known in certain circles 
for your somewhat extravagant parties, even 
considering the normal things that go on 
during Liberary. You've been tied to various 
anomalous goings-on almost every Liberary 
for the last 30 years. 


Pol-54112: Anything else? 
A brief silence. 


Christchurch: No. You don't seem to exist 
outside of the event. 


Pol-54112: | used to. Be out there, | mean. 


Christchurch: How did you leave baseline 
time? Did you create the temporal anomaly? 


Pol-54112: No, no | didn't create it. I'm just a 
man. | used to be a rich and powerful man. 


Procedure: Gun was taken apart for regular cleaning. The cleaning 
cloth was put in a small tub of SCP-447-2, and soaked for 5 
minutes. Cleaned as normally would. Lubrication replaced with 
SCP-447-2. 


Results: Gun fired with a 35% reduction in recoil. Testing found 
bullets fired had their maximum speed increased by nearly 210% 
and acceleration increased by 55%. Accuracy was increased by 
3.7% at close range and by 486% at maximum range. Max range 
was also increased by 40%. Gun smoke was green in tint. 
Interestingly, unspent ammunition put into the gun were stated to 
smell minty, and had a green tint. Despite this, when these bullets 
were removed and fired from another gun, said gun did not receive 
any benefits.
