Foreword: Reverend Florian Pichler, a 
Protestant minister in the municipality of 
Pfeffenhausen, Germany, has attracted 
Foundation attention by predicting apocalyptic 
events in the spring of 2014, claiming to have 
had sermons touching on the subject reaching 
back to 2006. Pichler has largely gone 
unnoticed by social media given the large 
amount of religious press following SCP-3336, 
but the supposedly prophetic nature of the 
minister prompted the Foundation to 
investigate. Pichler was contacted and a 
meeting was arranged between him and Agent 
Monica Storch, a Rho-11 operative sent for her 
fluency in German and Protestant background. 
The following interview has been translated 
into English for convenience. 


<Begin Log> 


Pichler: Thank you for flying all the way here 
for my teachings. I'm so happy that my 
message is reaching more people, especially 
in the age we live in today. 


Storch: It's my pleasure. | guess you could 
Say it- 


Pichler: That it was God who guided you my 
way? 


Storch: You stole the words right out of my 
mouth. 


Pichler: | do have clairvoyant tendencies, you 
know. 


Storch: And that's why | wanted to come 
speak to you. | want to know more about you 
and your prophecy. 


Pichler: What would you like to know? 


Storch: I'd like to know how you knew about 
the sneeze. 


Pichler: Oh, that's simple. | received 
messages from the Lord himself. 


Storch: And how did He reach you? 


Pichler: Slowly. Very slowly. He started by 
giving me only brief visions of mass pestilence 
across the globe in 2003, which | kept to 
myself. Over the first few years of contact | 
saw thousands of people lying in ruin, pale and 
emaciated, in the aftermath of some horrible, 
horrible disease. He made it clear to me that 
this is the future, that | am certain of. The only 
trouble was the question: 'When is this going 
to happen?’ 


Storch: Matthew 24:36, 'But about that day or 
hour no one knows, not even the angels in 
heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’ 


Pichler: That | am aware of, as | knew not the 
day or hour. What | did know, however, was 
the season, as stated in 1 Thessalonians 
5:1-6. As God fearing followers of Christ we 
have the insight necessary to stay wary of the 
return of the Lord. God in His messages to me 
told me it would be soon, and as the time of 
the sneeze approached my certainty grew 
stronger. 


Storch: Did you have any messages sent to 
you about the sneeze, specifically? 


Pichler: Ah, plenty. The visions of pestilence, 
for one, have an obvious relationship with 
sneezing. But even stronger so, and you're 


going to have to take my word for this, the 
Sunday service | held just prior to the sneeze 
itself had seven of the attendees sneeze at 
once during prayer. At first | thought that might 
have been the defining event of my visions, 
confirmation of what was to come, but we all 
know nothing could possibly compare to what 
happened just a few days later. And my 
personal certainty of the coming of the end did 
not climax until everybody sneezed at once 
that Wednesday! In fact, | was completely 
alone when it happened, but | instantly knew it 
was no ordinary sneeze. 


Storch: So what's going to happen now that 
we've received this sign from God? 


Pichler: We wait in absolute certainty of a 
coming of Christ. No being out there is 
powerful enough to do what every single 
person just witnessed but God Himself, and for 
what reason would He do that? To toy with us? 
No, God is above that, He created this event to 
test us on our faith. Only those who deserve 
hellfire are the ones who deny God's obvious 
involvement in the most inexplicable event in 
recent history. What else could it be? 


Storch: Do you have any idea when the end 
will truly be upon us? 


Pichler: The sneeze was God's last word to 
me; | haven't heard from him since, so | have 
no other words but "soon". As you have 
brought to notice, it's impossible for us to know 
exactly when Christ will return, but the signs 
are here. Now we must wait. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: After the interview, Agent 


Storch reached out to several attendees of 
Reverend Pichler's service held on 
13/04/2014. All eyewitnesses gave roughly 
matching accounts of the event described by 
Pichler. Agent Storch has arranged to keep in 
touch with Reverend Pichler for any relevant 
prophetic developments. At the writing of this 
article, Pichler has yet to give any updates 
pertinent to SCP-3336. 


Addendum 3336-2: 
+ Note from Dr. Von Hacht 


| realize it may seem like we're grasping at 
straws here, because we are, but that's fine. 
Given the circumstances, all relevant findings 
to SCP-3336 are invaluable. Any anomaly that 
is by its very nature apparent to the public eye 
undermines everything we work towards here 
at the Foundation. We are here to protect the 
world at large, and now we're left with a world 
in fright. We have witnessed an anomaly that 
has proven powerful enough to reach out to all 
life on Earth in an instant; what damage might 
it be able to cause beyond a mere sneeze? If 
we can find something, anything that points to 
an origin of SCP-3336, we might find 
ourselves with one less apocalypse to worry 
about. 


God bless us all. 


Dr. Von Hacht 


slowly. 

Ahead the tunnel t-junctions left and right, and Control tells the 
subject to go right. Subject marks the way back to the exit with chalk 
and goes right. 


The tunnel ends in a dead-end after 6 meters. Control informs the 
subject to go back to the junction and take the left tunnel. This too 
ends in a dead end after only 4 meters. Subject seems to have 
calmed slightly, and suggests returning to the previous t-junction 
and trying the other tunnel. Control confers with Dr —_, who decides 
to recall the subject and analyse the data collected so far. The 
subject has been within SCP-432 for exactly 37 minutes at this 
point. 


Control informs the subject to return. The subject moves back 
through the tunnels, following his chalk marks towards the exit. At 
cross-roads the subject freezes again and asks Control if they heard 
a noise. Control confirms that they are detecting a sound but 
requests D-64502 explain what he is hearing. Subject identifies the 
noise as wind. At this point the camera captures a small drift of what 
appear to be dead leaves blown from the right-hand unexplored 
tunnel. Subject remarks that the breeze smells stale. Control informs 
the subject to collect several leaves for analysis and then proceed 
down the right-hand tunnel to locate their source. 


Subject collects leaves and complains about orders to remain in 
SCP-432 but moves towards the tunnel mouth. As subject nears the 
tunnel entrance, a loud, echoing roar is heard over the audio, similar 
to a large animal such as a bear or lion. Subject panics, screams, 
and runs for the exit, ignoring Control's demands to investigate the 
sound. 


Subject sprints to the exit and collapses in the storage area. 
Expedition is aborted, the door closed and locked and subject 
removed for debriefing. 


SCP-3337: Death Of The Artist 


Item #: SCP-3337 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: On May 23, the museum or 
gallery indicated on the previous year's instance of SCP-3337-3 is to 
be temporarily closed to the public; an appropriate cover story 
should be chosen by the Head Containment Specialist at least three 
months prior to the event. Any possible manifestation sites on the 
exterior of the building should be made inaccessible; if there are no 
interior manifestation sites, then an exterior site should be chosen to 
minimize visibility and the ground beneath the site should be 
screened from view. 


The remains of SCP-3337-2 instances should be examined by a 
Foundation coroner within at least one week of the event and then 
incinerated; SCP-3337-3 instances are to be removed, scanned, 
and stored in Site-28's Minimum Security Document Storage. 


Description: SCP-3337 is a phenomenon that occurs every May 
23rd in a gallery or museum within the continental United States 
which meets certain criteria; galleries and museums which meet 
these criteria are to be considered potential instances of 
SCP-3337-1. Instances of SCP-3337-1 must primarily exhibit art 
created in the 20th and 21st centuries; at least one piece of artwork 
exhibited in an SCP-3337-1 instance must have been the subject of 
significant controversy at the time of its initial exhibition; and an 
SCP-3337-1 instance must have a balcony, atrium, open stairwell, 
or window which is accessible to the public and is at least three 
stories high, referred to in this document as a manifestation site. 


Around 11:30 AM on May 23rd, an instance of SCP-3337-2 will 
appear in an unobserved location in or around a single SCP-3337-1 
instance. Instances of SCP-3337-2 are female humans, genetically 
and physically identical to Luisa Bellocchio, the presumed creator of 


SCP-3337, an anomalous artist active in Italy and New York City in 
the late 1970s and early 1980s; each SCP-3337-2 instance is 
dressed in a white t-shirt and blue jeans, the brand and 
manufacturer of which vary between instances. If the SCP-3337-2 
instance manifests outside of the gallery or museum, it will enter and 
present a membership card! or pre-printed entry ticket, where 
applicable; all instances will proceed to the highest accessible 
manifestation site, place an instance of SCP-3337-3 on the nearest 
blank wall, and commit suicide by jumping from the site. 


Instances of SCP-3337-3 are curatorial labels, identical in style and 
material to other curatorial labels within the SCP-3337-1 instance. 
Apart from slight differences in presentation, each instance of 
SCP-3337-3 contains essentially the same information2; each 
instance will also identify the next year's instance of SCP-3337-1, 
usually as the institution that sold or loaned the artwork to the 
current year's SCP-3337-1 instance. 


Preventing SCP-3337-2 instances from committing suicide has so 
far proved impossible. SCP-3337-2 instances are partially intangible 
prior to death; they are able to pass through closed doors and 
barricades that would prevent them from accessing manifestation 
sites, although they will choose an accessible site over an 
inaccessible site if only some sites have been blocked, and once an 
instance has reached a manifestation site, they can become 
intangible to any individuals who try to prevent their suicide and to 
preventative measures such as netting that would prevent their 
death. 


Addendum 3337-A: Sample SCP-3337-3 Text 


Instance recovered from the Guggenheim Museum, New York City 
NY, 23 May 2009. 


Luisa Bellocchio 
American, 1952-1983 


Death of the Artist, begun 1983, ongoing 
Human remains on concrete?. 


Death of the Artist was Bellocchio's final work before 


(and during) her suicide. While Bellocchio was never 
acknowledged by the mundane art world, she achieved 
some notoriety in the anomalous art community for her 
photography series / Went Into The Mountains, the final 
piece of which, "Morfeo & Euridice", had seventeen 
confirmed kills at the time of its destruction+. Of this 
series, three pieces—"Ghoul-Oriented Sexual Behavior", 
"E Ho Trovato I'Invasor"», and "Protest against the 
Protest about the Methods of the Protest"—are still at 
large®, and one, "Apostasy = Apotheosis", is in a private 
collection’. None of her other work survives.8

Addendum 3337-B: Recovered Document 3337-1 


Recovered on 13 August 1989 from the apartment of POI-33906, 
Francesco Castaldo'9, an associate of Bellochio before her suicide. 
Believed to be Bellocchio's suicide note. Ink on paper. Translated 
from Italian to English. 


Franco, 


We've been killing people with magic and saying that it is 
for art. My personal body count is almost thirty, and most 
of that is from one photograph. You haven't killed anyone 
yet but | know of at least seven suicides in theaters 
where your movies were playing. Some of the others are 
in the triple digits. 


| can't remember how to take a photo that doesn't eat 
people. 


Goodbye. 
Luisa

SCP-3338: Otamatone wants to be your roommate~ 


Item #: SCP-3338 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All known instances of 
SCP-3338 and the individuals sharing a living space with them are 
to be monitored regularly via non-invasive methods. Foundation 
personnel are to conduct bi-monthly interviews with the human 
tenants under the guise of maintaining compliance with building 
safety regulations. Removal of SCP-3338 instances and application 
of amnestics to corresponding tenants may only be carried out with 
approval from the current project head. 


Description: SCP-3338 refers to anomalous Otamatone! 
instruments which spontaneously manifest in apartments, 
townhouses, and college dorm rooms in various urban areas of 
Japan. 


Though rarely-documented and lacking in replicable experimental 
data?, SCP-3338 cases are believed to possess several events 
consistent across all instances: 


* SCP-3338 will only manifest in living areas currently being 
rented by a single individual with stable finances, who has 
occupied the space for at least three months. 

¢ SCP-3338 tend to appear when the renter listens to music 
frequently, plays a musical instrument as a hobby, and/or 
enjoys singing. 

* SCP-3338 instances manifesting will be accompanied by a 
small scrap of paper held in the instrument’s mouth, reading, 
"AYVE-VILHSBEOIV—-HA-— bITBVI KV eF~"3 

* SCP-3338 instances, upon initial manifestation, will typically 
appear inside the living space near the main entrance 
doorway. 

* Once a month, an SCP-3338 instance’s mouth will fill with 


Japanese yen paper money, totaling approximately 10 to 15 
percent of the tenant’s monthly rent fee. Money generated by 
this method has been determined to be legal (non-counterfeit) 
currency. 


SCP-3338 are visually identical to non-anomalous Otamatone 
instruments, and will function similarly to their non-anomalous 
counterparts when played. Individuals who have encountered 
SCP-3338 have reported that the anomalous Otamatones will assist 
them with finding small lost objects, including keys, public 
transportation tickets, identification cards, loose change, jewelry, 
and socks.4 


SCP-3338 will disappear from their corresponding living space when 
certain circumstances are met.° Currently, the following scenarios 
are confirmed to result in demanifestation of an SCP-3338 instance: 


¢ The renting tenant changing living locations. 

¢ The renting tenant placing SCP-3338 outside the living 
space’s entrance threshold for more than one day (24 hours). 

¢ The renting tenant jokingly inserting trash, dirty articles of 
clothing, or other debris into the SCP-3338 instance’s mouth.
