Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of the 
anomaly, SCP-1879 cannot be contained by the Foundation at this 
time. Foundation agents are to monitor police reports within the 
state of Washington for signs of possible SCP-1879 infection. When 
an instance of SCP-1879-1 is found, MTF Rho-4 (aka "Shoos 
Salesmen") are to be dispatched to the location to deal with 
SCP-1879-1 at the minimum possible cost to those involved. All 
items obtained from these interactions are to be incinerated, if 
feasible, and dismantled if not. Civilians that come in contact with 
SCP-1879-2 are to be administered Class-A amnestics after 
Foundation questioning. 


Description: SCP-1879 is a phenomenon that affects houses in the 
state of Washington, USA. It has been noted to only affect interior 
doors, which are hereby designated SCP-1879-1. These doors are 
visually unchanged; however, when a sapient organism comes 
within 2m of an SCP-1879-1 instance, repeated knocking emanates 
from the object. This continues indefinitely until a subject opens the 
door. At this point, a male humanoid entity, hereby designated as 
SCP-1879-2, will emerge from the SCP-1879-1 instance. The entity 
is approximately 1.7m in height and appears to be of Caucasian 
descent and indeterminate age. 


After emerging from the door, SCP-1879-2 will attempt to sell a 
product to the subject. These products appear to vary widely in 
purpose and origin, as the entity has presented a variety of objects'. 
The entity will dramatically explain the purpose and appeal of the 
product to the subject, often cornering them or suggesting they sit 
down before doing so. The explanations and tactics utilized are 
often not particularly persuasive, and the entity uses underhanded 
methods to sell its product. After fully explaining, the entity will then 


offer a price. Said price rarely consists of currency and often is 
detrimental to the subject or the subject's health. The entity 
consistently refuses to elaborate or comment on the definition of its 
prices unless it decides to raise them, which it often does if the 
product is not accepted and paid for quickly. SCP-1879-2 is 
persistent in its efforts and refuses to leave the subject alone until 
the product is purchased. However, if it is sufficiently threatened or 
wounded, the entity will temporarily retreat back into SCP-1879-1, 
which will then revert back into a non-anomalous door. It will later 
return within the same house via a different door and confront the 
subject, attempting more aggressively or even threatening them to 
purchase their product, as well as increasing the price. Once the 
product is purchased, the entity will thank the subject and exit the 
area through an SCP-1879-1 instance.

Audio Log-1879-Eta: The following log was taken during the initial 
attempts of Foundation agents to apprehend and discern the nature 
of SCP-1879-2. Agent Rogers was equipped with audio recording 
devices at the time of the event. 


This incident took place at , Seattle, WA, the home of 
Shirley Yeats. Mrs. Yeats had previously called the police several 
times urgently, describing a "salesman that wouldn't get out of her 
house and kept disappearing into random doors." Foundation 
agents intervened to investigate the possible anomaly. Upon arrival 
at the scene, agents noted a male humanoid entity (SCP-1879-2) 
that was carrying a juvenile Border Collie and holding it in front of 
Mrs. Yeats while speaking rapidly. 


Rogers: He- 


SCP-1879-2: /turning away from Yeats to address Agent 
Rogers] Oh good, maybe you'll listen to sense. See, | got 
this dog, right, but | can't keep it, so | thought, "Maybe 
Shirley'd like this." | just popped over and offered to give 
it to her—Okay, maybe not "give," per se—A guy's still 
gotta get by, right? Anyways, | offered it, and— 


Rogers: That's not what we— 


SCP-1879-2: Hold on, before you say anything, let me 
tell you about this fuckin' puppy. He's a purebred and the 
most playful little scamp you'll ever see. [Entity yells over 
his shoulder] Even if he's apparently not good enough for 
some people! 


Rogers: If you don't listen, I'm re— 


SCP-1879-2: [Entity holds up dog to Agent Rogers face.] 
Just look at him, he's so sad! Look, he's potty trained 
and everything, | just don't want to see him sad, and | 
really can't have him anymore. Personal reasons, you 
know. Really, all I'm asking for is some of your time, 
you'll barely even notice him around. Cross my heart. 


Rogers: [raising his voice] Would you just— 


SCP-1879-2: Some of your time is all I'm— [Entity is 
forced to the ground by Foundation agents, who proceed 
to gag the entity with a towel taken from the house's 
kitchen.] 


Rogers: [talking to fellow agents] Okay, fuck it, we're 
taking him back to the Site to interrogate him. 


[Agents attempted to escort SCP-1879-2 out of the 
house. However, upon exiting the front doorway, the 
entity demanifested. Agents were not able to locate it 
within the house in the following investigation of the 
house. SCP-1879-2 later reportedly manifested within 
the house after approximately six (6) hours, and 
Foundation agents returned to the scene.] 


SCP-1879-2: [speaking to Mrs. Yeats, who was cowering 
in acorner at the time] Ma'am, please, he just needs a 
home! | have to sell him! It doesn't cost any money, | 
promise, just twelve years of your time! 


Rogers: [talking to fellow agents] Try to keep the thing in 
the room this time. 


SCP-1879-2: Shirley, just take the dog, and I'll be gone. 
Swear on my life. /Mrs. Yeats took the animal. 
Immediately, she disappeared?.] Pleasure doing 
business with you. [The entity then walked into the closet 
before agents could apprehend it. After passing through 
the doorway, SCP-1879-2 demanifested. Class-A 
amnestics were administered to Mrs. Yeats's family.] 


Audio Log-1879-Psi: The following log was taken during a 
successful Foundation interception of an SCP-1879-1 activation 
event. 


[rapid, inconsistent knocking sounds emanating from 
SCP-1879-1] 


SCP-1879-2: [quietly talking] Goddammit, hurry up, | 
have to meet the quota by tomorrow or else | have to 


stay in this fucking world for the next century. [shouting] 
Hey! | know you're there! Spare a moment of your time? 
[quietly talking] Why does the boss even need this shit 
anyways? It's not like he has any use for them any more. 


[A musical scale is heard emanating from SCP-1879-1. 
Knocking ceases.] 


SCP-1879-2: [Sighs. Snaps. Scale stops.] Yes, boss? | 
know, | know, that's not what you meant by "soul," | just 
thought you'd get a kick outta— Yes. Yes, sir. | will. Yes. 
I'm sorry. It won't happen again. Please don't hurt it, I'll 
meet the quota this time, | swear. Yes. Okay. Thank you. 
Goodbye, sir. [Snaps, quietly talking] | better get to move 
up to at least Accounting this time. Just get me out of this 
fucking place already, I've paid my dues and then some. 


[Knocking recommences until Agent Rogers opens the 
door.] 


SCP-1879-2: Hello, Mr. Gr— Oh. You. Hi. 
Rogers: Hello. Now, I'd like to ask you— 


SCP-1879-2: Now, see here, let's think logically. You 
know I'm not gonna tell you anything. | know you're not 
likely to buy what I'm selling. So let's just move on to 
greener pastures. I'm coming up close to a deadline, and 
I'm sure you're swamped with making sure good people 
don't do their jobs, so I'll just be on my way and let you 
do that. Ciao. [Entity attempts to close the door. Agent 
Rogers holds door open and grabs SCP-1879-2.] 


Rogers: That's not happening. [Personnel retrieve and 
detain SCP- 1879-2 within the room.] Now, are you going 
to talk to me? 


SCP-1879-2: Look, I'm busy, so I'll tell you what. I'm 
going to give you something, no money out of your 
pocket, and we'll call it even. Sound good? [Within one to 
three seconds of this statement, approximately two 


thousand (2,000) coins of assorted origin manifested 
within the pockets, epidermis, and digestive tract of all 
subjects at the scene excluding SCP-1879-2. All 
Foundation personnel involved were confirmed to be 
deceased. SCP-1879-2 was reportedly encountered later 
that day on a house further down on the same street, but 
had apparently demanifested before Foundation agents 
could reach the scene.]

SCP-1880: Gem of Aspects 


Item #: SCP-1880 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1880 is to be kept in a 
standard containment unit at the High Value storage area of Site-17. 
Authorization from project Kesher supervisor Dr. Shaw is required 
before any interaction with the object. 


Description: SCP-1880 is a carved gemstone mounted in gold 
depicting Alexander the Great cutting the Gordian knot, a common 
scene showed on similar, non anomalous objects of the same 
period. Though experts originally dated the object to the fourth 
century B.C, the classical Greek period, recent developments 
suggest that it is in fact more recent, and was made around the first 
century A.D in Rome. 


SCP-1880 displays no anomalous properties unless held by an adult 
human no less than twenty (20) years old. When held by a suitable 
subject, a mental link is created between him/her and an unknown 
entity (henceforth "SCP-1880-1"). The object will then act as a two- 
way communication device, enabling the subject to hear and speak 
to SCP-1880-1, as well as allowing SCP-1880-1 some degree of 
influence over the subject. SCP-1880-1's voice (which could not be 
identified as either male or female) can be heard and recorded up to 
two (2) meters from SCP-1880's location during a conversation. 


Attempts to communicate with SCP-1880-1 varied greatly in result: 
from a complete refusal of SCP-1880-1 to talk to the subject 
(fourteen times), a brief conversation (ten times), a lengthy 
discussion (five times), and finally SCP-1880-1 actively and 
unilaterally inserting information into the subject's mind (three 
times). Additionally, every subject attempting to use SCP-1880 will 
undergo a minor to moderate physical or mental alteration, even if 
the conversation was denied. No connection between the identity of 


the subject using SCP-1880 and the result has been found, and 
different results occurred even when using the same subject. 
Conversations with SCP-1880-1 are always broken from the entity's 
side, and all attempts to prematurely end a conversation with it thus 
far have failed. 


SCP-1880 was delivered to MTF Sigma-5 ("Bronzeheads") 
commander while he was off-duty on vacation in , bya 
middle aged, Caucasian man wearing a grey suit and fedora. The 
man was waiting for in his hotel room when returned to it at 
around 03:00. When asked by for his identity, the man replied 
he was "Nobody". Commander attempted to subdue the man 
and bring him to questioning, but was overpowered and rendered 
unconscious. When recovered the following morning, he 
discovered SCP-1880 on his nightstand along with a note, reading 
“The knot was there for a reason". When touched SCP-1880, 
first contact with SCP-1880-1 was made. immediately brought 
SCP-1880 to Foundation custody. 


Several theories about the nature of SCP-1880-1 have been made. 
Due to the lack of consistency in its actions, some researchers 
believe SCP-1880-1 is composed of several different "aspects", 
each interacting differently with subjects, while others theorize that 
SCP-1880-1 is not a single entity at all, but several unrelated ones. 


Addendum 1880-A: The following are selected extracts from 
conversations made with SCP-1880-1.
