Special Containment Procedures: SCP-297 is to be kept ina 
standard lockbox at Site 19's High Value Item Storage Facility. 
Standard positive-action defenses (explosive, chemical, biological, 
and memetic) are to be in place at all times, according to standard 
operating procedure. Personnel wishing to utilize SCP-297 for 
experimental or field purposes must fill out a Form-32 and submit it 
to the head of Research and Containment. 


Description: SCP-297 is a transparent plastic vibrator, 
approximately 30 cm in length, 5 cm in width. Examination has 
determined that the internal structure has been heavily altered, and 
that the standard 6 V power supply has been converted into what 
appears to be a micronized nuclear reactor powered by a small 
quantity of plutonium. 


In addition, the standard power/intensity controls have been altered 
from the normal on/off switch with secondary intensity dial, to a 
single five-stage selector switch. The bottom four intensity levels 
(off, low, medium, high) appear to be within normal parameters for 
such a device, and can be used safely for such purposes if so 
desired. 


When turned to the highest intensity setting (labeled "suicide", 
SCP-297's vibration frequency swiftly increases to upwards of 
200,000 kHz. If the upper portion of the device is touched to any 
solid material, SCP-297 will change frequency to one that causes a 
positive harmonic feedback loop in the object, causing the object to 
lose cohesion within sixty seconds of continual contact. This 
invariably kills organisms that it is exposed to. 


Experimentation has determined that SCP-297 can disintegrate a 1

3. Although it is clear that class 1 and class 2 occult phenomena 
have no effect on the item (as evidenced by the outcome of incident 
2637-14) and are therefore not a concern. 

4. | want to emphasize this: if you mess something up do NOT try to 
fix it. By doing that you'd inflict a new change in conditions on the 
item and disrupt its fragile equilibrium some more. The more you try 
to sweep your mess under the rug, the more we will notice.-Dr C. 
Zhu 

5. And obsessive behavior (c.f. document 2637-313) displayed by 
some researchers specialized in narrow and/or greatly theoretical 
fields of study 

6. As well as ill-considered dismissal of the intrinsic value (c.f 
document 2637-334) of the item that would normally not be 
expected from educated, experienced members of the Foundation 
7. Often demonstrably irrational as established in document 2637-36 
relating meeting EAM-19-53B 

8. c.f. document 2637-335 

9. which has been agreed upon as "likely" among the majority of 
meeting EAM-19-78F attendees, since "all other elucidated parts of 
the message are devoid of any cultural or aesthetic consideration" 
and "the message is obviously not meant as an exchange of 
trivialities and trying (rather anthropocentrically) to understand it as 
blurbs from a babbling civilization akin to [the 'Voyager' golden 
record] is laughable."It should be noted that those views are 
primarily Dr C. Zhu's, and were not explicitly backed by a majority of 
meeting EAM-19-78F attendees.-Dr Malbreil

document 2637-107 or document 2637-121 

11. By consensus amongst several research teams backed 
withlarge amountsof experimental data and a model summarized in 
document 2637-74. (See document 2637-73 for a review of the 
flaws in this interpretation.) 

12. recent advances in microscopy have hinted at complex patterns 
of local isospin differentials within quarks from ordinary matter 

13. However, most of them are likely to lack a neighbourhood of 
very similar twins like SCP-2637 does, and any message they may 
send would therefore be completely undetectable on a macroscopic 
scale with conventional equipment. The only reason the signal can 


be detected at all is that trillions of instances of SCP-2637-1 behave 
independently in almost exactly the same way.Methods to detect 
such signals from less multitudinous groups (or from SCP-2637 in its 
current state of decay) are under development. 

14. See documents 2637-73 and 2637-229 for reviews of the flaws 
in this interpretation, and document 021-D7N for a refutation of the 
mainstream theory of abiogenesis and evolution 

15. Although the first two lack clarity due to insufficient technological 
means of isolation from interferences, and the last one has been 
partially undetectable due to the gradual decline of the strength of 
the signal 

16. Although segments 71 to 74 include (repeatedly) the fine- 
structure constant as well as a value close to it, andwhat has been 
interpreted (c.f. document 2637-144) asa request to change the 
former into the latteror the implication that the change is going to 
take place in the future through unspecified means.

SCP-2638: Alone in a Crowded Room 


Item #: SCP-2638 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2638 is contained in situ 
at the Souther Family Farm, approximately 6 km northeast of 
Site-918. SCP-2638 itself is defined as the Souther Farmhouse, 
192 m? in area. 


Site-918 will provide 24-hour surveillance of SCP-2638 in the form of 
two agents per 8-hour shift. Unauthorized personnel approaching 
SCP-2638 are to be detained. Site-918 should then be contacted 
and a team will be sent out to collect the visitor(s). The visitor(s) will 
then be routinely questioned at Site-918, administered Class-B 
amnestics and released. 


Site-918 will also provide appropriate food and medical aid to 
SCP-2638-1, SCP-2638-2 and all instances of SCP-2638-A. These 
are to be delivered via a standard Foundation HERMES remote 
drone through the front door of SCP-2638. 


At all times personnel should avoid entering within 5 m of 
SCP-2638's outer walls. Entrance to SCP-2638 requires permission 
from the Site Director, or a personnel member with higher security 
clearance 


Description: SCP-2638 is the Souther Farmhouse, constructed in 
1919. 


SCP-2638-1 and SCP-2638-2 (Mr Brian Souther and Mrs Jacqui 
Souther) are two otherwise apparently non-anomalous humans who 
are unable to leave SCP-2638. SCP-2638-2 is currently cooperative 
with Foundation personnel with regular contact via mobile 
telephone, while SCP-2638-1 is uncommunicative. 


SCP-2638-A is the designation given to the 54 anomalous entities 
currently contained within SCP-2638. 


Any attempt to cross the boundaries of SCP-2638 from within will 
result in the inhabitants becoming blocked by an "invisible wall"'. 
SCP-2638 shows no structural anomalous properties. Testing 
equipment has been delivered to SCP-2638-2, but due to its 
inexperience with Foundation technology results are considered 
untrustworthy. 


On average once a week, between one and four random people in a 
nearby radius? will abandon their current activities and travel to 
SCP-2638. If they are not detained by Foundation personnel they 
will enter SCP-2638 and become an instance of SCP-2638-A. If they 
are prevented from entering and led at least 3 km away they will 
display no other anomalous behavior and will resume their previous 
activities. Failed SCP-2638-A subjects have shown no aggression 
towards Foundation personnel, but express irritation with 
SCP-2638-1 and SCP-2638-2's absence during questioning. 


Testing reveals that SCP-2638-A entities will also be created when 
any human crosses the threshold into SCP-2638. 


An instance of SCP-2638-A will attempt to engage SCP-2638-1 and 
SCP-2638-2 in conversation. It will do so regardless of SCP-2638-1 
and SCP-2638-2's willingness to speak, or how many other 
instances are talking to them. Conversation topics consist of "small- 
talk" - the health of SCP-2638-1 and SCP-2638-2, condition of the 
house, upcoming social events, etc. 


The SCP-2638-A will refuse to leave SCP-2638, and will ignore any 
injury to itself. It will consume light snacks but decline any offers of 
substantial meals. It will also neglect to follow basic personal 
hygiene procedures. Current instances of SCP-2638-A are in 
various stages of malnutrition, disease, death and decomposition. 


Addendum 1A: The Foundation became aware of SCP-2638 after a 
series of disappearances in the local area and police calls from 
SCP-2638-2. Due to SCP-2638's geographical isolation, continued 
public disinformation campaigns are not deemed necessary, beyond 
initial routine containment procedures. Agents have been assigned 


to find additional information about SCP-2638. 


Addendum 1B: SCP-2638-1 was born in SCP-2638 in 1976. The 
delivering doctor was Dr. Frazer, whose office contained some 
additional medical information on SCP-2638-1. SCP-2638-1 suffered 
from genetic abnormalities associated with inbreeding, leading to the 
death of its mother in childbirth. After SCP-2638-1's father died in 
2006, SCP-2638-1 became the sole owner of SCP-2638. In 2008 
Dr. Frazer recommended SCP-2638-1 be treated for severe clinical 
depression. There is no record of SCP-2638-1 actually receiving 
treatment. Dr. Frazer could not be interviewed as he is now 
SCP-2638-A-1. There appear to be no other records of 
SCP-2638-1's life, or of its family, aside from a newspaper 
subscription and a seldom used bank account?. 


Addendum 1C: The life of SCP-2638-2, formerly known as Jacqui 
Trant, is better documented than SCP-2638-1. It was healthy, 
attended public schooling at appropriate ages and was employed as 
a nurse. In 2009 SCP-2638-2's home was repossessed and 
SCP-2638-2 declared bankruptcy. SCP-2638-2 then lived with 
various friends and family for irregular periods of time. Agents were 
able to interview many acquaintances of SCP-2638-2: common 
descriptors used were "sociable" and "extroverted" and >80% used 
variations of the phrase "she just wanted to look after people.” 
SCP-2638-2 was known to respond to personal ads. 


Addendum 1D: SCP-2638-1 and SCP-2638-2 married in a private 
ceremony in 2010, with Dr. Frazer witnessing. Residents of the 
maximum area of effect of SCP-2638 were not able to recognise 
SCP-2638-2 from photographs. Telephone interviews with 
SCP-2638-2 revealed that SCP-2638-1 became increasingly 
mentally and physically unwell in 2011, and required 24-hour care. 
SCP-2638-1 refused any visitors to SCP-2638 aside from Dr. 
Frazer. In 2012 Dr. Frazer began treatment of SCP-2638-2 for 
severe clinical depression. 


Addendum 1E: An archived local newspaper article dated 
02/11/1926 refers to a violent incident at SCP-2638 resulting in the 
deaths of five members of the Souther family. The article states that 
local residents accused the family of involvement in "witchcraft", 
"demon worship" and "unnatural relations". No prosecutions related 


to the incident are recorded. 


Addendum 2A: Since the suicide of SCP-2638-1, SCP-2638-2 has 
become increasingly hostile to instances of SCP-2638-A and 
Foundation Personnel. SCP-2638-2 has begun avoiding feeding any 
SCP-2638-A instances. SCP-2638-2's self-care has become 
inconsistent. 


Interviewed: SCP-2638-2 
Interviewer: Dr __, situated at Site-918 


Foreword: SCP-2638-2's last telephone interview. 
Dialogue from SCP-2638-A entities has been expunged 
except where SCP-2638-2 directly responds. 


<Begin Log> 
Dr —_: Hello SCP-... er... Mrs Souther, how have... 
SCP-2638-2: Stop. | don't care anymore. 


Dr _ : Please, your continued cooperation is necessary 
Tors 


SCP-2638-2: | can't even bury my husband. He's rotting 
in our bed. They're still talking to him. He only wanted me 
to be happy. 


SCP-2638-A-37: Ah Jacqui, how is Brian? I've heard 
he's been rather ill. 


SCP-2638-2: Would you please just shut up and die 
already, Sharon. 


Dr —_: If you can bring Mr Souther's corpse to the door, 
we can try to extract it for study. 


SCP-2638-2: You know what, you're just as bad as 
them. You don't care about us at all. Don't phone me 
again. If you want to be helpful, send me some weapons 
with your robot. 


Dr __: | can arrange further sessions with our grief 
counselor and... 


SCP-2638-A-54 (Formerly D-9743): | must say I'm 
finding myself to be rather peckish. Do you have any 
more of those delightful cookies, Mrs. Souther? 


SCP-2638-2: FUCK YOU. 


SCP-2638-A-54: Excellent, perhaps we can go over 
plans for the gala now? 


<Connection lost. End Log> 


Closing Statement: [SCP-2638-2's request was not 
approved. Researchers estimate SCP-2638-2 will soon 
die due to ill-health. Whether the death of SCP-2638-2 
will result in the neutralisation of SCP-2638 is unknown.]

SCP-2639: Video Game Violence 


Item #: SCP-2639 
Object Class: Euclid (formerly Keter) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2639-C is to be kept 
secured on-site in an isolated room that is TEMPEST-certified!. 
Access to SCP-2639-C is limited to Level-4 personnel; testing is 
currently prohibited. 


Description: SCP-2639 refers to a phenomenon that manifests as a 
1 kilometer cubic volume wherein anomalous entities and objects 
(designated SCP-2639-A and SCP-2639-B, respectively) 
materialize, then dematerialize approximately 1-2 hours later. An 
imperceptible barrier around SCP-2639 prevents instances of 
SCP-2639-A from leaving this area of effect. 


SCP-2639-A are 3 humanoid entities equipped with anomalous 
weaponry and armor. Each entity exhibits superhuman speed, 
strength, endurance, resistance to injury, and perceives no pain or 
discomfort. When an instance is destroyed, an undamaged copy of 
this instance will appear somewhere within SCP-2639's area of 
effect. 


SCP-2639-B consists of 22 distinct 'types' of intangible objects 
dispersed throughout SCP-2639's area of effect. Each instance 
hovers 0.1 meters above ground and rotates on a horizontal axis at 
a set rate. When instances of SCP-2639-A make contact with an 
instance of SCP-2639-B, the object will typically vanish, conferring a 
beneficial effect on the entity. Observed effects have included (but 
are not limited to) new anomalous weaponry, increased resistance 
to injury, and higher overall damage output. 


One particular type of SCP-2639-B (‘Ammo Pack’) is noted to only 
appear when either an instance of SCP-2639-A or a non-anomalous 
human expires. 


SCP-2639-C is a customized desktop computer. The computer runs 
without a discernible power-source, and has been hosting a heavily 
modified online Quake? death-match since 1997. The session's 
participants are connected to the host machine via anomalous 
means, and have been identified as three teenagers3 missing since 
18/06/1997. Until the discovery of SCP-2639-C in 2010, they were 
unaware that they had been playing for over a decade. 


SCP-2639 INCIDENT 


DATABASE 


INCIDENT #: 231 
DATE: 18/08/2009 
LOCATION: Siena, Tuscany (Italy) 


REPORT: SCP-2639 occurred on the outskirts of Siena, Tuscany at 
04:23 UTC; the anomaly was centered around a small church 
(Madonna di Siena). Local police officers responded to the anomaly, 
leading to an escalation which ultimately culminated with the 
collapse of the church. All anomalies associated with SCP-2639 
dematerialized at 05:41 UTC. 


CASUALTIES: 96 (54 fatalities, 12 critical injuries, 30 minor injuries) 


COVER STORY: A tanker truck carrying 9000 gallons of petrol was 
overturned and ignited, resulting in a massive explosion. The 
ensuing fire exacerbated structural weaknesses in the church, 
causing it to collapse on the congregation inside.
