2:39:31 PM: Ballard's SCP-2947 instance flies around 
him in a figure-8 pattern, before it manifests its own 
SCP-2947-A instance ("Burning Smilodon"), a Smilodon 
fatalis with a mane made of blue fire. It roars, before 
proceeding to run in the direction of the cafeteria. 


2:40:02 PM: Dr. Craig Ward, Ballard's homeroom 
teacher and original confiscator of SCP-2947, idly spins 
a two-pronged fidget spinner, before abruptly sneezing 
and having it fall out of their hand. It hovers in mid-air, 
and an SCP-2947-A instance ("Queen Aranae") in the 
form of a twenty-limbed spider-like creature appears, 
running from the room with the SCP-2947 instance in 
tow. 


2:41:00 PM: Queen Aranae runs down the chemistry 
hallway at high speeds; the air pressure wave created by 
its running shatters the fume hoods within labs 1 and 3, 
and leaves a large crack in the hood of lab 2. A fourth 


SCP-2947-A instance ("Centurion Remus") in the form of 
a Roman centurion with the head of a large wolf appears 
and engages in combat with Queen Aranae, resulting in 
damage to several rows of lockers. The origin of 
Centurion Remus is unclear; SCP-2947-4, when 
recovered, was found to have been soaked in water that 
was identified to be from the toilet of the men's restroom. 


2:41:09 PM: Several tables in the cafeteria are buckled 
and broken by the arrival of Burning Smilodon, which 
grows to match the size of Congo Cerebus. Burning 
Smilodon pounces on Congo Cerebus, causing both 
SCP-2947 instances to come into view of the cameras. 
They proceed to collide repeatedly, shooting sparks from 
the collisions. 


2:43:05 PM: After several minutes of battling, the 
sparking from the two battling SCP-2947 instances 
ignites leftover cooking oil in one of the warming trays for 
cafeteria food, causing a fire to break out. At this point, 
the fire alarm is triggered, and evacuation starts. 


2:45:29 PM: Burning Smilodon subdues Congo 
Cerebus. Burning Smilodon roars, causing several lights 
overhead to spark and shatter. Both instances fall to the 
ground, inert, as a cafeteria worker sprays the oil fire 
with a fire extinguisher. 


3:00:29 PM: Queen Aranae and Centurion Remus's 
battle spills out into the parking lot of the school, where 
all school personnel have evacuated. Centurion is seen 
impaling Queen Aranae on the school's flagpole, which 
causes it to buckle in half, before both instances are 
rendered inert. One SCP-2947 instance lands on the 
head of an instructor, causing them to fall unconscious. 


3:10:02: Foundation containment personnel arrive on- 
scene and begin reviewing video logs. 


Addendum: "Evolution" of SCP-2947-A Instances: During the 
fifteenth test of combat between SCP-2947-A1 and SCP-2947-A4, 


the Burning Smilodon entity underwent a change in appearance 
following its victory. SCP-2947-A1 now has longer fangs, a larger 
mane, and an overall larger body structure compared to the original 
appearance. 


Furthermore, testing of SCP-2947-A1 now shows that it has had a 
significant increase in the maximum speed at which it can be 
rotated, and weighs less than it did upon containment; these 
changes are reflected in the statistics screen, as is the change of 
SCP-2947-A1, which is now referred to as "Coronal Machairodont?." 
SCP-2947-A1 has been observed winning contests more 
consistently; it is unknown if other SCP-2947-A instances are 
capable of this evolution.

SCP-2948: Repeating Bomb 


Item #: SCP-2948 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2948 is currently sealed in 
a heat-insulated, sound-proof, air-tight, opaque Faraday cage at 
Area-100. 


Description: SCP-2948 is currently an implosion-type Uranium 
bomb that, in the event of detonation, replaces itself in a larger 
container with a larger payload. The size that SCP-2948 replaces 
itself at occurs at an exponential growth rate of 37.6% between 
iterations. The explosive capacity of SCP-2948 has scaled with its 
physical growth. SCP-2948 has changed explosive mechanism and 
triggers, but has retained basic nuclear technology congruent with 
the year 19461. If the current iteration? of SCP-2948 were to 
detonate, it would release approximately 1.09 PJ of energy. 


SCP-2948 currently has a 5 day timed trigger, and six known 
extraneous triggers: temperatures outside the range of 
approximately -5C° and 25C°, sound levels above 40 dB, exposure 
to ambient lighting exceeding 240 Ix, electrical currents of over .5 A, 
kinetic disturbances exceeding 2000 N, and exposure to carbon 
monoxide above 70 ppm. SCP-2948 arms its extraneous triggers 
30.1 hours after each detonation. Due to the difficulty of disarming 
SCP-2948, only the timed trigger has been directly deactivated; the 
extraneous triggers have been impossible to disarm without 
prematurely detonating SCP-2948. 


SCP-2948 was designed by a team headed by Dr. Paslie Maddison 
for the American government during The Manhattan Project and 
Operation Crossroads between 1944-1946. SCP-2948 was created 
after an attempt to develop a more efficient and attainable fissile 
material for bombs' cores resulted in an experimental fuel reactor 
melting down. Approximately 60 kg of a previously unidentified 


isotope of Uranium (now known as Uranium-240) was recovered 
from the site of the meltdown. The new material was slated to be 
used in SCP-2948 shortly after it was deemed to be a suitable 
explosive. 


SCP-2948 was successfully detonated under the test name "Dog" 
near Bikini Atoll in 1946 along side tests "Able" and "Baker". 
SCP-2948 had not been observed reforming in the debris and water 
of its previous detonation, and was consequently neglected until it 
detonated under water again, 5 days later. The American 
government launched an investigation for the unprecedented 
explosion, and, after recovering SCP-2948, contacted the 
Foundation. SCP-2948 was stricken from the public record, and 27 
members of the press were administered Class-C amnestics. 


Addendum SCP-2948-A: Discovery made on / /197 

Dr. Maddison was admitted to hospital in , Nevada, for 
a case of radiation poisoning. Upon investigation, a massive 
warehouse in the Desert was discovered with enough parts and 
material to build approximately 12 nuclear war heads, several of 
which were in various stages of construction and decay. 4 small 
nuclear reactors were also discovered, 3 of which had been 
intentionally melted down and stripped for material. It is currently 
unknown how Dr. Maddison managed to acquire as much nuclear 
material as he did, but it appears that he purchased most of it 
illegally, some time shortly after he retired in 1949. Only 4 kg of 
Uranium-240 was recovered from the warehouse. 


110 sequentially numbered notebooks were also recovered from the 
warehouse. The notebooks contain notes, schematics, and essays 
in handwriting congruent with Dr. Maddison's that alternate between 
Dr. Maddison's attempts to reengineer the repeating properties of 
SCP-2948 in other war heads, and several extensive drafts of a 
manifesto describing the need to ensure world peace by distributing 
instances of SCP-2948 to many of the world powers. Dr. Maddison 
believed that if one country destroyed another, the repeating bomb 
that the bombed country had received would detonate in the blast as 
well, and eventually the world would be destroyed from a series of 
exponentially growing explosions. Several of the notebooks' later 
entries illustrate Dr. Maddison's frustration from being unable to 


SCP-353: "Vector" 


Item #: SCP-353 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Biological hazard protocol 
[REDACTED] is to be maintained at all times (Biohazard Threat 
Level 4). Full hazardous materials suits, gloves, and oxygen supply 
will be required to examine subject. A disinfectant shower and 
decontamination spray are standard procedure before and after 
contact with SCP-353. The whole containment unit is to be kept 
underground, at negative pressure, and hermetically sealed at all 
times to prevent accidental contamination to the outside area. In the 
case of containment breach, all affected personnel are to be placed 
in immediate Biohazard Level 4 Quarantine. Termination will be 
required in the possibility of an outbreak of one or more Class 9 
infectious agents. 


Subject should be fed three times a day, as standard, and provided 
with the minimum required comfort items: a twin size bed, a pillow, 
and a blanket. Clothing in the form of disposable surgical scrubs are 
to be provided as needed, but requests for items should otherwise 
be denied. Any outward signs of disease in the subject, such as 
rashes, boils, vomiting, or sickly pallor or demeanor, should be 
reported with haste. Since the appearance of symptoms in SCP-353 
means a willful effort on her part, subject is to be subdued and 
questioned. 


Should SCP-353 need to leave its containment facility for any 
reason, it is to be fitted with explosive collar, time release drug 
delivery device (for dosages of euphoric substances), and biohazard 
containment suit. Should SCP-353's suit breach containment, 
emergency sterilization procedures up to and including incineration 
of the affected area are to be carried out. 


Description: SCP-353 appears to be a normal human female, 


develop Uranium-240 as efficiently as had been done accidently 
during the Manhattan Project. 


Dr. Maddison's notes become increasingly illegible and repetitive 
near his final work. Shortly after his hospitalization, he was 
diagnosed with dementia caused by late stage Alzheimer's Disease. 
It was deemed impractical to administer an amnestic to Dr. 
Maddison, and instead, upon request by the Ethics Committee, Dr. 
Maddison was admitted to Site-17 for therapy.

SCP-2949: Observable Televised Feline Migration 


Item #: SCP-2949 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2949 itself is currently 
uncontainable due to its nature. Its manifestation is to be controlled 
via encouraging the phasing out of analogue television as an 
obsolete standard. Future appearances of SCP-2949 outside 
containment would require a civilian to have access to one of the 
few remaining affected televisions, and to purposefully observe 
static on said television for more than twelve hours. As this 
combination of events is extremely unlikely to occur, reappearance 
of SCP-2949 is not considered a major concern. Nevertheless, 
reports of SCP-2949-1 instances in the wild are to be taken 
seriously. Instances are to be located and captured as soon as 
possible. Prompt neutralisation is to be enabled with the use of an 
appropriately-sized sheet of mirrored foil. 


Description: SCP-2949 is a phenomenon affecting approximately 
3% of all analogue television sets ever produced. SCP-2949- 
affected television sets have not been completely contained by the 
Foundation due to their widespread nature. SCP-2949 has appeared 
more frequently in populated urban cities than in any other locations, 
though this is likely a statistical bias due to more frequent reporting 
of anomalies in places with higher population densities. 


SCP-2949 manifests as the appearances of visual aberrations on 
the screen when an analogue television is tuned to a non- 
transmitting channel. Testing has found that the device must be 
tuned to the channel for more than six continuous hours before 
SCP-2949 begins to be observable, a fact that contributes to the 
relatively low rate of reported SCP-2949 cases in the public. The 
aberrations often take forms such as striped or spotted patterns, or, 
on occasion, the appearance of feline faces or vague movements of 
silhouettes in the background noise. Longer inspection results in the 


clarifying of the shapes over time, resolving gradually into vague 
figures identifiable as animals of the Felidae family, such as tigers, 
leopards, or common house cats. 


Continuous observation of these phenomena for an additional six to 
eight hours via remote or direct means will eventually produce an 
instance of SCP-2949-1, which will emerge fully-formed from the 
television screen. Instances of SCP-2949-1 resemble animals of the 
Felidae family appearing to be made out of television static. These 
entities are not intangible; physical contact is said to feel like "steel 
wool", or, alternatively, "warm and rough". SCP-2949-1 instances 
appear to be non-hostile. They do not require food, water, or sleep. 


Upon manifestation, instances will tend to seek out the closest 
available reflective surface large enough to accommodate their size. 
They will then proceed to pass through the surfaces and disappear. 
Such surfaces through which SCP-2949-1 instances have been 
seen disappearing into include mirrors, windows, and other 
television screens. 


Sightings of SCP-2949-1 peaked from the late 1980s to the 
mid-1990s, but have significantly waned since the increasing 
adoption of digital television signals as a global broadcast standard.

SCP-2950: Just A Chair 


Item #: SCP-2950 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2950 is to be stored ina 
standard Safe-class Anomalous Item containment locker. 


Testing on SCP-2950 is currently indefinitely suspended due to its 
extremely low priority. There are no plans to revive testing 
SCP-2950, due to the need to use resources more efficiently. 


Description: SCP-2950 is a metal folding chair. SCP-2950’s 
anomalous effect causes those who sit in it to experience elevated 
levels of comfort that do not correspond to chairs of similar 
composition and style. 


Individuals that sit in SCP-2950 report that they feel as if they need 
to sit in the chair constantly, and are often hostile when asked to 
leave their position. 


Testing has indicated that the longer an individual sits in SCP-2950, 
the more difficult it is to remove said individual. Subjects who sit in 
the chair for longer than 30 minutes cannot be removed from the 
chair without the use of force. Subjects who sit in the chair for longer 
than one hour cannot be coerced into leaving the chair. 


dArkN3ss201 f411S-Identity Recognized 
To the new O5-6, 


If you’ve seen this document before, and are 
wondering why you can now see this new 
addition, it’s because you're the only person 
inoculated with the anti-cognitohazard capable 
of allowing you to see this. Nobody, not 


RAISA, not the researchers, not even the other 
O5’s can see this. They’ve got their own little 
projects to deal with anyways. 


As you’ve probably guessed, there are things 
that are below the surface in this big place we 
call work. You’ve always wondered about the 
layers hidden behind the documents, and 
there’s a reason why they exist: certain 
infohazards are more dangerous than others. 
Some are so dangerous that only a few people 
can ever know about them. 


And sometimes, that number is one. 


SCP-2950, as you've probably guessed, is not 
simply a very comfortable chair. That’s what 
we (and by we, | mean you and |) want people 
to think. 


SCP-2950 is a Keter-class entity that cannot 
be defined. It is not something that we cannot 
define because we cannot remember it; It’s 
undefinable because we must define what it is. 
SCP-2950 takes the form of whatever the 
majority of people think it is.
