SCP-1593: The Dragging Finger 


Item #: SCP-1593 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1593 is to be contained in 
a reinforced steel safe in Storage Unit 12, located at Site 35. Any 
transportation of SCP-1593 is to be achieved via mechanical means. 
No personnel are to make contact with SCP-1593 under any 
circumstances. In the event that a member of personnel does 
become affected by SCP-1593, the affected limb or region is to be 
removed immediately. In cases where this is not possible, the 
affected individual is to be terminated. 


Any experimentation involving SCP-1593 must be authorized by at 
least one individual holding Level 3 security clearance. 


Description: SCP-1593 is a human finger bone, specifically a 
proximal phalanx, which is believed to have originated from an adult 
female. Several markings have been carved into SCP-1593, some 
of which appear to have been scratched out with some form of sharp 
implement. The meaning of these markings is currently unknown. 
SCP-1593's anomalous effects first become apparent when a 
human being makes contact with SCP-1593 with any part of their 
body.1 


After making contact with SCP-1593, the affected individual will 
perceive all objects they touch to have the texture of skin, bone or 
decomposing flesh. In cases where the individual is not already 
aware of the nature of the object they are touching, they will believe 
that the object is in fact a dead body, claiming to be able to 
distinguish aspects of the non-existent corpse such as missing body 
parts or specific injuries. Significant amounts of this second kind of 
perception will lead to SCP-1593's effects moving on to the next 
stage. 


The affected individual will become convinced at some point that 
one of the 'corpses' they have touched has grabbed hold of the part 
of their body which originally made contact with SCP-1593, believing 
that they are slowly being pulled towards an unspecified location. 


The part of the individual's body which first made contact with 
SCP-1593 will begin to disappear at this point. Despite its absence, 
the affected individual will suffer no physical discomfort, as blood will 
flow as if the affected region was still present and the individual will 
report that they are still able to feel it. In cases where the absence of 
certain parts of the body would result in other parts not being able to 
support themselves, these parts of the body will float in place and 
still be usable by the individual, even if the body part is completely 
unconnected to the rest of the body. 


The individual will believe that any part of their body which has 
disappeared is in an underground location full of dead bodies, and is 
being pulled by a skeletal hand. They will often become extremely 
distressed at this point, although this is not believed to be an 
anomalous effect on the part of SCP-1593. 


This condition will spread throughout the body until the entirety of 
the individual has disappeared, advancing more quickly if the 
affected individual is dead or unconscious. 


Interview Log 1593-1: 


Transcript of a conversation between Dr. and D-2913. 
SCP-1593's effects had resulted in D-2913 missing their left arm 
and most of their upper torso when the interview took place. 


<Begin Interview> 


Dr. : Can you tell me what you can feel with your left 
arm? 


D-2913: It's somewhere underground, | think. There's the 
thing grabbing me, but I've...I've already told you about 
that. Can you just get this thing off me? Please? 


Dr. : Can you tell me about it again for the record? We 


need to get this down officially. 


D-2913: There's a hand grabbing my wrist. It's real bony, 
| think it might be a skeleton. You'd think it would be easy 
to get off, what with all the missing fingers, but it's strong 
as shit. It's all...uh, crispy? Burnt or something, you 
know? 


Dr. :1see. Is there anything else you'd like to tell me 
about your surroundings? 


D-2913: There's...there's dead bodies. (visibly 
distressed) My hand's caught between two of them, | 
think. The thing keeps tugging on it, but it can't get me 
loose. | think | might be safe, it might just give up, right? 


Dr. : Maybe it will. 


D-2913: Yeah, | think it...I think it will. But, uh, Doc, if it 
doesn't, could you just shoot me or something? | don't 
want to go in there. Please.

SCP-1594: Earth's Corps 


Item #: SCP-1594 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-1594 are by nature 
uncontainable, 24 seismological monitoring stations have been 
deployed at equidistant positions along the equator in order to 
monitor their communications. Return communications are to be 
transmitted from the station nearest to SCP-1594. Because normal 
seismic activity creates significant interference, return 
communications are to be delayed until total seismic activity is at a 
local minimum. Communication is preferable when the region 
housing the currently transmitting station is at sublunar high tide. 


Reports on the activity of instances of SCP-1594-A are to be given 
top priority. Research is to focus on tracking and studying instances 
of SCP-1594-A. 


Description: SCP-1594 are an intangible squad of eight United 
States Armed Forces servicemen, individually designated 
SCP-1594-01 through -08. Despite their intangibility, SCP-1594 are 
still affected by gravity. SCP-1594 are currently located in the lower 
mantle at a depth of 1600 km beneath the surface of the Earth — 
the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system. Their position relative 
to the surface tends to follow the path of the tidal bulge caused by 
the Moon above them. SCP-1594 are not intangible with respect to 
one another or the items they carry, which causes them to be stuck 
together in an approximately spherical mass. 


SCP-1594 are capable of limited interaction with the convective 
currents of the mantle. When four or more of SCP-1594 speak 
synchronously, their voices are anomalously transformed into 
seismic pressure waves which act upon the underside of the crust. 
This has allowed SCP-1594 to communicate with the surface. The 
Foundation has been able to decode this phenomenon, and the 


ease of translation has also enabled the Foundation to partially 
replicate the phenomenon with technology derived from SCP-219, 
allowing for the directed transmission of return communications. It is 
unknown how SCP-1594 are capable of interpreting the pressure 
waves. The largest obstacle to communication is interference from 
other seismic activity, so messages are usually brief, 
straightforward, and amplified. 


SCP-1594 report some semblance or equivalent of the sense of 
sight, extending to a finite but indeterminately large distance, 
through the magma which fills the mantle. This lets them take note 
of features such as volcanic hotspots, although their lack of 
geological training and their unfamiliarity with modern scientific 
findings leave their descriptions vague. From their own accounts, 
SCP-1594 do not age to a significant degree or become injured, but 
note that they experience constant pain from the heat, and that 
wounds sustained in combat bleed continuously. Once shed, 
SCP-1594's blood loses its anomalous properties and is incinerated. 
SCP-1594-05 occasionally vomits as the result of a non-anomalous 
stomach virus; the vomit is incinerated as well. 


SCP-1594 were reported MIA by their squad leader on 1970-02-15 
after a minefield at . N, . Ewas purposefully detonated from 
a safe distance in order to clear a path. The detonation momentarily 
exposed a previously unknown volcanic caldera, which emitted an 
intense odor of fudge, engulfed SCP-1594, and then sealed itself. 
Multiple sources, including SCP-1594 themselves, have 
corroborated this story with varying degrees of detail. 


Communication Log Excerpts: Communications with SCP-1594 
have been sparing up until the past five years due to the difficulty of 
transmission. The first successful transmissions, though, were 
conducted near the beginning of 2001, when SCP-1023 received a 
signal with abnormally high fidelity and precision of location. Further 
investigation yielded agency behind these signals, and stations were 
set up to intercept them.

SCP-1595: Out of Time 


Item #: SCP-1595 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents embedded 
in archaeological services, media outlets and intelligence agencies 
are to identify and isolate possible instances of SCP-1595 in order to 
limit public exposure to them, with an emphasis on professionals 
who might identify the historical discrepancies inherent to 
SCP-1595. Portable instances of SCP-1595 are to be transferred 
into Foundation custody, while stationary instances are to be 
documented and deleted. Use of Class-C amnestics is authorized 
when necessary. 


Description: SCP-1595 is a series of numbered messages 
originating from various time periods and locations. SCP-1595's 
anomalous properties stem from their anachronistic nature; 
instances of SCP-1595 will often be written using methods which 
should not be available in the time period or location from which they 
originate, and are always in modern English. SCP-1595 messages 
are internally serialized, and each instance discovered will follow the 
one found before it, despite sometimes being written centuries 
earlier. 


Additionally, analysis of the handwriting used in SCP-1595 
messages indicates that they have been composed by the same 
person, regardless of the aforementioned chronological 
discrepancies. Of the sixty-seven messages found so far, fifty-three 
have been addressed to the same person, an unknown woman 
named "Molly". Of the remaining messages, three address a 
"Danny", two address a "Ben", four have an unknown addressee, 
and five are mostly illegible. 


Addendum SCP-1595-A: The following is a list of notable instances 
of SCP-1595:

SCP-1595-9 


Origin: Inscribed on the walls of a cave in the 
mountain range. Originally recovered by the 
expedition. 


Approximate date of writing: 14,000-12,000 
BCE 


Recovered: 1948 


Message: You're leaving a trail. You can't hide 
forever, Molly. | know forever like the back of 
my hand. 


Note: This message is unique in that it was 
not written manually. Instead a type of laser 
cutter was used.
