Any occupied building with an instance of SCP-1452 will slowly lose 
its structural integrity. In addition, any electronic item within the 
building will become unusable within 2 weeks of being within the 
building, unless it is stored in SCP-1452. The instance of SCP-1452 
will become larger as the house becomes weaker, adding additional 
rooms and furnishings as time goes on. Approximately 3 months 
after this process begins, the house will collapse and SCP-1452 will 
take its place. At this point, the SCP-1452 instance is considered to 
be "mature" and the second stage of its effect will initiate. 


Mature instances of SCP-1452 will continuously produce immature 
SCP-1452's. These will integrate themselves onto any home near 
SCP-1452. The interior of the mature SCP-1452 will slowly fill itself 
in until it is a solid block of whatever its original building material 
was, such as wood or concrete. It will continue to produce instances 
of SCP-1452 until it is destroyed. 


SCP-1452 was originally discovered in the town of Danville, 
Pennsylvania after residents in a poor section of town began 
reporting that their homes had grown additions to themselves 
overnight. Investigating Foundation Agents discovered several 
mature instances of SCP-1452, and an immature instance in the 
process of integrating itself into a residential home. Due to the large 
number of SCP-1452 infested homes, the neighborhood was razed 
under the pretense of toxic waste in the area. SCP-1452 was 
classified as Euclid on 09/18/1997.

SCP-1453: Opalus Probandi 


Item #: SCP-1453 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1453 is to be stored ina 
standard secure containment safe equipped with a dual key lock. 
Under no circumstances are any personnel to touch SCP-1453, 
even if wearing hazardous material gear. Should movement of 
SCP-1453 become necessary, it must be moved by robotic 
equipment. Any research relating to SCP-1453 must be documented 
with video equipment. 


In the event that any person under Foundation employ who has 
worked with SCP-1453 is accused of any major unsanctioned 
criminal misconduct (either within the internal Foundation 
administrative apparatus or in the external judiciary), Foundation 
lawyers are to review both all incriminating evidence and the 
security records relating to SCP-1453. In the event that the accused 
did come into physical contact with SCP-1453, specific measures 
must be taken. If the misconduct is being handled internally at the 
Foundation, this evidence must be deemed admissible to the 
relevant misconduct hearings. If the misconduct is being handled in 
the external judiciary, following the conclusion of the trial process, if 
the accused is found guilty, he/she is to be turned over to 
Foundation custody. He/she is then to be re-tried without prejudice 
within a closed Foundation hearing adhering to the same legal 
standards as the external judiciary, with the accused's contact with 
SCP-1453 entered into evidence. 


Description: SCP-1453 is a polished and cut black fire opal 
approximately three centimeters long, two centimeters wide, and 
one centimeter thick. 


Any individual who touches SCP-1453 will find themselves accused 
of a serious crime capable of destroying their reputation and good 


standing within their community. The accusations will be made 
within one week to six months of touching SCP-1453; the length of 
time between the physical contact and when the accusations occur 
appears to be random. While SCP-1453 was originally believed to 
affect any individual or organization which possessed it, it is now 
known to simply affect individuals who physically touch it. 
Additionally, no individual is known to have been accused as a result 
of SCP-1453 more than once. 


The complainants in cases related to SCP-1453 have invariably 
produced corroborating evidence, including personal and third-party 
testimony, exhibits, documentary material, and/or demonstrative 
evidence. The origin of this evidence and the means by which it 
comes into the possession of the complainants is completely 
unknown at this time. Though the complainant always has had a 
prior relationship with the defendant, the circumstances of this 
relationship varies (friends, coworkers, spouses, family, etc.). All 
complainants have appeared sincere, as have witnesses testifying 
on their behalf, regardless of their previous views or relationship with 
the defendant. All defendants have proclaimed their innocence with 
equal apparent sincerity. 


In relevant judicial or administrative proceedings where knowledge 
of SCP-1453 has not been entered into evidence, the frequency of 
the defendants being found guilty or at fault is fifteen percent higher 
than the frequency of defendants in comparable cases in which 
SCP-1453 was not involved. Whether this represents a statistical 
anomaly or demonstrates that SCP-1453 has affected the 
impartiality of the proceedings is not known. 


To date, it has proven difficult to determine if a// allegations made 
against persons who have touched SCP-1453 were due to its effects 
(and thus fallacious), or whether these individuals did, in fact, 
commit the crimes of which they were accused. To the best of the 
Foundation's knowledge, however, no allegations made against 
individuals who were either currently in possession of SCP-1453, or 
who had come into contact with the object within the past six 
months, have been shown to stand up to scrutiny if knowledge of 
SCP-1453's effects is taken into consideration. 


SCP-1453 is believed to have existed since at least the third century 


BCE, but did not come into possession of the Foundation until 20 . 


Addendum: Known Accusations Relating to SCP-1453 

The following is a list of known accusations made against individuals 
who touched SCP-1453. Note that, given the particular 
circumstances of each defendant, all of these allegations were 
capable of destroying the defendants' reputation and good standing 
within their community.

SCP-1454: Sibling Rivalry 


Item #: SCP-1454 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Each member of SCP-1454 is 
to be housed separately in a standard cell of the type used to 
contain Safe-class humanoid SCP entities. Standard rules and 
regulations pertaining to contained humanoids are to be applied. 
During good behavior, SCP-1454 may be allowed to perform menial 
tasks not related to SCP containment in exchange for access to 
approved entertainment and reading material. 


SCP-1454 individuals are not to be brought into contact with each 
other, directly or indirectly, except for testing purposes. All members 
of SCP-1454 are to be kept on standby observation at any time 
another member is undergoing testing, surgery, or is at a significant 
risk of life-threatening danger. Use of amnestics on any SCP-1454 
specimen is to be avoided except as a last resort. 


Description: SCP-1454 consists of four human males, designated 
SCP-1454-1 through SCP-1454-4, each 36 years old at the time 
they entered Foundation custody in 20 . All four are in good health 
and display no unusual physical impairments for human beings of 
their age. DNA testing has indicated that the individuals comprising 
SCP-1454 are genetically identical to a degree similar to identical 
twins. 


The members of SCP-1454 possess a shared memory - each 
SCP-1454 specimen has full access to the memories of every other 
member, and is constantly aware of what the other three individuals 
are doing and experiencing at any given moment. The means of 
data transmission between the individuals is unknown. Attempts to 
block shared memory by imposing physical distance, solid barriers, 
electrical fields, hallucinogenic drugs, or [REDACTED] have all 
proven unsuccessful. Use of amnestics upon one member of 


SCP-1454 similarly affects the other three with regards to the 
memories deleted. All four members of SCP-1454 act independently 
of each other. In spite of the shared memories possessed by the 
four, no evidence of a “hive mind" or "group consciousness" has 
been observed. Individuals have demonstrated no ability to 
consciously induce another to act. 


All four members of SCP-1454 have been diagnosed with a unique 
psychological illness related to their shared mental state. Each 
individual member of SCP-1454 is unaware that there are three 
other humans identical to him and possessing the same shared 
memory, and is of the belief that he himself has personally 
experienced all the memories that his mind has access to. All 
SCP-1454 individuals are of the belief that this state is typical of 
human beings, and in interviews have neither found it unusual nor 
made any attempt to explain or rationalize having several 
simultaneous and contradictory sets of memories. When two or 
more SCP-1454 individuals are brought into each other's presence, 
each will fail to recognize the other as a duplicate of himself, and will 
become extremely confused and agitated as a result, often leading 
to physical violence. 


SCP-1454 was discovered by the Foundation in 20 , when all four 
individuals comprising it simultaneously threatened to commit 
suicide by jumping from the windows of four separate tall buildings 


in downtown , . Examination of government records found that 
the individuals, who all identified themselves by the name "Eric 
"had all lived and worked in the area. All four possessed 


identical drivers' licenses and Social Security cards, and had filed 
tax returns each year claiming income from five sources. One birth 
certificate, five houses, seven automobiles, six college degrees, and 
seven marriage licenses were found to be associated with the name. 
A death certificate was also found to be associated with the name, 
belonging to an individual who had been killed in a drunk driving 
accident two days prior.

<Begin Log, / /20 , 12:37 PM> 


Dr. : Good afternoon, SCP-1454-1. How are you 
doing today? 


SCP-1454-1: Great, thanks. And call me Eric. 


Dr. : If you insist. I'd like to ask you a few questions, 
if you don't mind. Before you came into our custody, 
what did you do for a living? 


SCP-1454-1: | was a lawyer at [REDACTED], a public 
relations specialist at [REDACTED], a freelance 
photographer, a featured columnist in [REDACTED], and 
| owned and operated a small chain of seafood 
restaurants in the greater area. 


Dr. : And what order did you hold those jobs in? 
SCP-1454-1: All at once. 
Dr. : | see. How many hours did you work a week? 


SCP-1454-1: Just depended on the workload... 195 at 
the least, but there are times | was putting in a 280-hour 
week. 


Dr. : Are you aware there are only 168 hours ina 
week, Eric? 


SCP-1454-1: Of course | am. | think I've earned enough 
college degrees to know something like that. 


Dr. : How is it that you managed to work more hours 
in a week than there are in a week? 


SCP-1454-1: Well, | never said it was easy. Sometimes 
I'd be asleep in bed or on vacation and I'd still be working 
overnight getting the books squared away. 


Dr. : How were you able to work while you were 
sleeping? 


SCP-1454-1: Doesn't everyone?

<Begin Log, / /20 >, 9:48 AM 
Dr. : Good morning, SCP-1454-2. 


SCP-1454-2: Nice to see you again, Doc. And like | said 
before, call me Eric. 


Dr. : Of course, Eric. Can you tell me how you're 
doing right now? 


SCP-1454-2: Great. I'm sleeping in, having breakfast, 
and reading a great book about [REDACTED]. 


Dr. : Indeed. I'd like to ask you a few questions about 
your childhood. 


SCP-1454-2: Shoot. 
Dr. : Did you have any brothers or sisters? 


SCP-1454-2: No, but there were always these other kids 
hanging around the house. | don't know why my parents 
let them in all the time - they were always so mean to 
me. Especially at school. 


Dr. : How so? 


SCP-1454-2: You know how little kids will walk around 
copying you sometimes to make fun of you? Repeat 
everything you say, dress like you, act like you? They'd 
do that to me all the time. They even went around telling 
people that they were me and | was the copycat. | don't 
know why - | don't even think they liked each other that 
much. 


Dr. : Did you ever tell your parents? Or your teacher? 


SCP-1454-2: They never did anything about it. They just 
laughed, or they looked at me all confused. That's why | 
always spent so much time in my bedrooms; to keep 
away from them. 

Dr. : How many bedrooms did you have? 
SCP-1454-2: Five, same as everybody. 


Dr. : Let's change the subject. Who was your first 
high school sweetheart? 


SCP-1454-2: Cindy, Mary, Emma, Kate, and Jane. 


Dr. : | asked about your first girlfriend, Eric. Which of 
them was first? 


SCP-1454-2: Kate, | guess. But the rest were my first 
girlfriend too. How many first girlfriends did you have? 


Dr. : We're here to talk about you, Eric. 
SCP-1454-2: Sorry. 
Dr. : Did you marry any of them? 


SCP-1454-2: No, we all broke up. On the same night, 
actually. 


Dr. : How's that? 


SCP-1454-2: | invited them all to the senior prom. You 


should have seen the six of us - like a fairy tale. But it's 
the damnedest thing. Remember those kids | was telling 
you about? They were dating them too! 


Dr. : Could you explain that? 


SCP-1454-2: Well, | went to get Kate a glass of punch, 
and when | was dancing with Cindy | looked over and 
saw one of them kissing Emma! And so | went over to 
yell at him, and he starts copying me again like when we 
were little, and he's telling everyone that | stole his dates! 
And then | see Mary with the other one's arm around her 
shoulder... | got my ass kicked that night, but | dished 
out as much as | took.

Interviewer: Dr. 

<Begin Log, / /20 , 6:38 PM> 


Dr. : Good evening, SCP-1454-3. How are you 
tonight? 


SCP-1454-3: Couldn't be better, I'm eating three 
delicious dinners in my rooms right now. And it's still Eric. 


Dr. : I'd like to talk to you about the day you were 
arrested, Eric. Why were you up on that ledge? 


SCP-1454-3: Well, | was a little upset about having died. 
Dr. : Excuse me? 


SCP-1454-3: | died just a few days before that and it was 
too much to bear. 


Dr. : But you're not dead. 


SCP-1454-3: Well, of course | am. | remember it 
distinctly. 


Dr. : Please elaborate. 


SCP-1454-3: | was driving home from the office and this 
car on the other side of the road swerved and hit me 
head-on. My seatbelt came undone and | got thrown 
through the windshield and landed face-first on the 
pavement. | couldn't move and | was bleeding all over 
the place. The paramedics showed up and started 
talking about | was going into shock and they needed to 
get me to the ER, and | was starting to crash, and then | 
died. 


Dr. : | see. What happened after that? 


SCP-1454-3: | was pretty upset about it. | called my 
wives right away, but they didn't understand. So | came 
home early from work, canceled my dinner date with my 
new girlfriend, and caught the first plane back from 
Detroit to be with them. 


Dr. : What happened the next day?
