Exploration SCP-2385-3 (2/6/2004): 


Foreword: An SCP-2385-2 specimen was taken from 
Foundation captivity (henceforth:'Subject Alpha' [S-A]) 
and anesthetized. After a micro-camera was surgically 
implanted, S-A was placed within SCP-2385. 


00:05-00:21 S-A wakes up and looks around before 
heading straight. It traverses SCP-2385 uneventfully for 
a few minutes, before coming across an open area filled 
with fetal SCP-2385-1 instances. S-A stops at several, 
and can be seen rubbing its face against theirs. One 
instance thrashes and snaps at S-A, though the bulk of 
its mass is still embedded within SCP-2385, restricting its 
movements. 


00:39-00:45 The path splits out into three different 
tunnels. S-A selects a path, and tries to continue, though 
itis apparently frightened by two SCP-2385-1 instances 
engaging in combat. Another can be briefly seen 
attempting to feed on a fetal instance growing from the 
ground. S-A flees, and selects another path. 


01:47 A nearby wall opens up, and two SCP-2385-2 
instances exit (-2B, -2C,) and begin to travel the way S-A 
came from. S-A follows suit. 


03:22-05:31 The group encounters a lone SCP-2385-1, 
which attacks -2C. -2B wraps around and physically 
restrains it. For the next two hours, The group takes 
turns nuzzling the SCP-2385-1 instance. Notably, it 
develops the fibrous growth characteristic of SCP-2385-2 
instances over its eyes. Afterwards, it is released, and 
becomes docile (henceforth -2D). 


05:33-12:42 The group continues through SCP-2385. At 
various points, they are observed prodding the walls of 
SCP-2385 to produce new paths. At 11:15, SCP-2385 
shifts and encloses the group. -2D and -2B feel about the 


walls, eventually producing an alternate route. At this 
point they confront an SCP-2385-12 instance blocking 
further progress. -2B and -2C are observed to nuzzle 
each other, prior to -2B charging the SCP-2385-1 
instance. The group crawl over and around the instance 
as it consumes -2B. -2C remains behind. 


27:21 -2D is ambushed from a side-tunnel. The larger 
instance drags it around the bend and out of sight, and 
the opening seals shut. 


33:57-34:18 S-A encounters an SCP-2385-1 instance, 
which chases it throughout SCP-2385. S-A selects a 
path which terminates after several meters, trapping it. 
S-A does not defend itself as the instance attacks and 
subdues S-A, and begins to feed on it. At 34:11, a male 
voice can be heard shouting, prior to D-11424 coming 
into view. He kills the instance with his machete, and 
kneels down next to S-A. 


D-11424: Hey there, little guy. You alright? (D-11424 
leans in and pets S-A) 


D-11424: Yea, you're fine. Get up. 
D-11424: | know where it is, come with me. 


34:19-34:41 D-11424 leads S-A through the area, 
stopping at one point to carve a piece out of SCP-2385, 
which he consumes. 


34:43 The path opens up into a large room with a bright 
luminescent sphere levitating a meter off the ground, 
estimated to be 10 meters in diameter. 


D-11424: Here we are. (D-11424 walks over to the 
sphere and places a hand on it.) 


D-11424: You ready? 


34:44 S-A approaches D-11424. It alternates between 
looking the sphere, and the path they came down. 


SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item Description: "Ice Cream Flashlight" Object was a flashlight in 
the shape of an ice cream cone. Testing shown that anything shined 
with the light would slowly convert to ice cream, flavors depended on 
the material used. 


Notes — | think the ice cream flashlight could be pretty useful. | 
mean, | know it's just sugar, but can't you live off ice cream in an 
emergency? 


Money entered: 4500 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item description: <Unknown> - a small box-shaped package, with 
no noticeable outer markings save for the words “Prototype 3” 
written in black pen on the side. When opened, it contained a small 
black box, of similar dimensions to a portable television. With the 
box also came a container, which held a hundred different disk 
storage system cards resembling Zip drives. Ninety of those disks 
came with a picture depicting either a random fruit or vegetable, 
while the remaining ten disks were white in color, and showed 
different graphics of chopping up food. Packaging also contained an 
charger designed to power up the box, although it was found to have 
been pre-charged prior to packaging. The box only contained two 
separate slots and two buttons - white and red in color - as well as 
what appeared to be a lens used in holographic technology. 


When the D-Class assigned to testing pressed the red button, the 
lens flashed on and showed a blank display. When he inserted a 
card depicting an apple into the top slot, the image of an apple 
suddenly appeared on the display, although completely permeable 
by solid material. Although inserting other cards with fruits and 
vegetables into the top slot had no effect on the image coming from 
the lens, when the D-Class inserted a white card depicting a person 
using a knife in a slicing motion, the image changed to that of a 
bunch of apple slices in a bowl, with the display image having 
increased somewhat. However, the image was still untouchable. 


When the D-Class pressed the white button, a side compartment 
opened and a tool resembling a spork popped out. Said tool 
consisted of an (as of yet) unknown vaporous gas structure, but was 


D-11424: S'alright. They'll come back, they always do. 
C'mon now. (D-11424 beckons towards the sphere.) 


34:46 S-A prods at the sphere and pushes its way 
inside. 


34:47 Unknown. Personnel that viewed the live feed 
were found to be incapable of describing what they 
witnessed. Subsequent playbacks terminate at 34:46. 


Addendum SCP-2385-A: On the day of Exploration 3's conclusion, 
Maya O of Elgin, Illinois was admitted to the local hospital, 
complaining of abdominal pains and suffering vaginal bleeding. An 
emergency surgery was performed upon the discovery of a foreign 
object lodged within her uterus, which was found to be a micro- 
camera. Agent Nakamara was dispatched to investigate. Nakamara 
was able to confirm that the item's serial number matched the one 
implanted within S-A, and confiscated it. Multiple articles covering 
the event in hyperbole were issued through Foundation-owned 
‘Bizarre News' publications. Object reclassed as Keter. 


Footnotes 

1. Worm-like 

2. This was the largest specimen to be recorded, at approximately 
seven meters in length and estimated to weigh over 400kg.

SCP-2386: Pink Ladies 


Item #: SCP-2386 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2386 are to be kept on 
Site 32 in sealed enclosure. Any increases and changes in the 
hive's shape and pattern are to be reported to the Head Researcher. 
Instances of SCP-2386 found in the wild are to be dealt with by MTF 
Lambda-7 (Swarm Queens). Male personnel are not allowed on site 
except for testing purposes. 


Description: SCP-2386 is a species of diminutive humanoid 
entities. All instances vaguely resemble simplistic humanoid dolls 
made of fabric, commonly ranging between 7cm and 9cm in height. 
Instances of SCP-2386 also have identical recurring patterns on 
their torsos, most prominently pink in colouration and a face which 
appears to be stitched on. Autopsies on dead instances reveal 
similarities to both Dermatobia hominis (Human Bottfly) and Bombyx 
mori (Silkworm). The wings are similar to those of a butterfly or moth 
and are capable of flight. Studies have shown SCP-2386's 
exoskeleton is composed of a durable material which is almost 
identical to cotton fibre. 


Wild instances of SCP-2386 are found to live in hives resembling 
similarly patterned seat cushions, the largest known instance being 
in the shape of a sofa. Hives of SCP-2386 are commonly found near 
suburban environments, sometimes even within occupied housing. 
SCP-2386 will emerge periodically from these structures to feed, 
usually other smaller insects, and seek out hosts for reproductive 
purposes. Despite their benign appearance, SCP-2386 are hostile if 
approached by males of any species. SCP-2386 will engage their 
target by extending scissor-like claws from their hands and 
swarming the target. Conversely, females in the presence of 
SCP-2386 will be respected and occasionally cared for, presenting 
them with small gifts and ‘playing’ with them. 


During the Spring/Summer seasons, SCP-2386 will enter their 
mating season and cease hostilities against males and treat them in 
a similar manner to females. Males approached by SCP-2386 during 
this period will be treated better than females. After acclimatising to 
SCP-2386, a single instance will cut an incision into the male subject 
and attach between 30 to 65 eggs under the skin. Within 24 hours, 
the affected area will be covered in a material resembling patterned 
cloth. Tests reveal this material is biological and genetically identical 
to material recovered from SCP-2386 hives. As the weeks during 
gestation and birth progress, this growth will spread outwards from 
the initial sting. Eventually, the growth will be spilt open from within, 
with adult forms of SCP-2386 emerging fully formed. 


The following interview is with D-2386-181, male subject used in 
testing, currently 3 weeks into SCP-2386's gestation period: 


INTERVIEWER: Dr. Shaw 
INTERVIEWEE: D-2386-181 


Dr. Shaw: Good Morning, D-2386-181. 
D-2386-181: Yeah, hi, doc... 


Dr. Shaw: You say you've been having recurring 
dreams? 


D-2386-181: Ever since | got this thing! (/ndicates 
affected area on Right Arm.) |t wasn't that bad at first... 


Dr. Shaw: Please explain. 


D-2386-181: Okay so, I'm in my bunk, right? And like it's 
exactly the same as it is when I'm awake. Same lights, 
same walls, whatever, and. And there's giant versions of 
those things you got in there. 


Dr. Shaw: Giant? 


D-2386-181: They're like as big as you or me, not, you 
know, bug-sized? So, they're surrounding my bunk and | 
can't move. 


Dr. Shaw: You mean, sleep paralysis? 


D-2386-181: | dunno, maybe? But | can't move and 
they're like, stood over me staring with that sewn on 
smile of theirs. And | can hear these voices, not like 
coming from them, but they're there and there telling me 
what a good job I'm doing and stuff like that. 


Dr. Shaw: | see. 


D-2386-181: Actually, last night, they did something 
different. Another one came in. 


Dr. Shaw: Another? 


D-2386-181: It... It had something with it. It looked like a 
baby one! 


Dr. Shaw: | beg your pardon? 


D-2386-181: It was all wrapped up in this white cloth. 
They said something about wanting to show me what | 
was working towards... They pulled back the cloth over 
its head and it was a fucking bug's head! Woke me right 
the fuck up. 


Dr. Shaw: Thank you, D-2386-181, that will be all for 
today. 


D-2386-181: Hey, doc? Could you send someone to look 
at this? |... | think something's moving under there... 


Following D-2386-181's interview, surgery was carried out on the 
infected area; results showed that premature instances of SCP-2386 
matched the description given. Instances labelled SCP-2386-1 and 
catalogued for later study. 


After surgery, D-2386-181 insisted on visiting SCP-2386's enclosure 
again. D-2386-181 became violent upon being denied access. After 
being subdued and returned to quarters, D-2386-181 displayed 
depression-like symptoms and made references to SCP-2386-1 as 
being lost. 


Addendum: As of / /19 , the remains of an SCP-2386 hive dating 
back to 12 were discovered in an abandoned barn in . Unlike 
current SCP-2386 hives, the hive recovered resembled a solid 
wicker basket. While most SCP-2386 within the hive had 
deteriorated, several intact ones revealed these instances had an 
exoskeleton similar in shape and texture to wheat and a similar 
humanoid shape resembling Corn Dollies. 


Similarly, as of / /200 , MTF Lambda-7 encountered a hive of 
SCP-2386 unlike the contained specimens. These instances had an 
exoskeleton resembling dolls and appear to be constructed from 
a material resembling plastic. A portion of the hive has been taken 
for study as have several instances of this new breed.

SCP-2387: Raze and Build and Raze and Build 


Item #: SCP-2387 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Buildings affected by 
SCP-2387 are to be inhabited by Foundation personnel disguised as 
employees or residents of the building. Foundation personnel are to 
inspect the exteriors of all buildings on an hourly basis. If graffiti 
consistent with a SCP-2387 event is found, all personnel are to 
evacuate the building immediately. As soon as possible, the affected 
building is to be surrounded by a 3 meter high sheet metal fence, 
and civilians attempting to enter the area are to be detained and 
amnesticized, if necessary. 


Description: SCP-2387 is a phenomenon effecting the rapid 
construction and demolition of buildings located within three 
contiguous square blocks in the Shijingshan District of Beijing. 
SCP-2387 first manifests with the marking of the exterior of the 
building with Chinese character "}f,"! generally with red or white 
spray paint. Review of security footage has shown that the character 
spontaneously appears on the building. 


Within 72 hours of the appearance of the character, the affected 
structure will be demolished by unknown means. The patterns of 
demolition are usually consistent with destruction by means of large 
hydraulic equipment, although several larger buildings have 
imploded, consistent with the controlled use of explosives. 


In all recorded manifestations of the SCP-2387 phenomenon, 
demolition has taken less than 12 hours, regardless of the size of 
the building. Debris from the demolition does not travel outside of 
the three-block area affected by SCP-2387 and, if left unattended 
and unobserved, will disappear within 12 hours. Since 2001, 
instances of multiple buildings being razed simultaneously has risen 
28%. In many cases, simultaneously demolished buildings will be 


consolidated into a single, larger structure. 


Following the demolition of extant buildings, construction of a new 
structure commences within 10 hours. Building material such as 
concrete and steel manifests from unseen sources and appear as 
they are incorporated into the new structure. Serial numbers of items 
such as lighting fixtures do not match with any known 
manufacturers. 


Structures created by SCP-2387 are of variable appearance and 
size, depending on the size of the area razed. Past instances have 
included skyscrapers, factories, and luxury hotels. There appears to 
be a causative relation between architectural trends and real estate 
prices in Beijing, and the structures created by SCP-2387, although 
this effect is not fully understood at present. 


Although the layouts of instances of SCP-2387 that manifest in new 
categories of buildings? were highly irregular+, the number of 
irregularities significantly decreased with each successive iteration. 


According to paperwork found in the Beijing municipal archives, all 
buildings affected by SCP-2387 are owned by "Fu Jué Realty, Ltd.". 
No such company, nor any individual by such a name, is known to 
exist outside of instances of SCP-2387. With the demolition and 
construction of new buildings as a result of SCP-2387, the 
paperwork relating to the affected building is updated 
instantaneously. Attempts at communication with SCP-2387 through 
contact information provided have produced limited results (see 
Excerpt 2387-q-895-Pw for more).
