Further tests involving SCP-2424 are to be suspended 
until further notice. Research involving additional entities 
related to SCP-2424 are ongoing as to determine the 
whereabouts of previous missing test subjects. Reports 
from local authorities describe an unknown individual 
that has been observed to frequent the acquisition site of 
SCP-2424. Reports also detail that the individual 
appears lost or confused and is heard calling the name 
"Anaaya" multiple times. 


Current orders are to detain the suspect on sight and 
bring in for questioning. Senior field agents are to advise 
their teams that said suspect may have anomalous 
properties which could hinder capture. SCP designation 
and MTF acquisition requests are currently under review. 


[LEVEL-3 ACCESS REQUIRED] 


Addendum-2424-003-A: The individual suspect 
associated with SCP-2424 as mentioned in the above, 
Addendum-2424-003, was apprehended by Foundation 
agents on 08/17/2015 in Eastern Greenland. As 
confirmed in sighting reports, said suspect is of Inuit 
descent, wears traditional Inuit clothing, and is estimated 
to be in his late teens. The only belongings the suspect 
had on his person were a hand-made spear and tattered 
booklet tied together with sinew. The contents of this 
booklet are still under investigation. The page scans can 
be found here (LINK). 


The suspect speaks in an Inuit dialect that closely 
resembles Tunumiisut. On-site Foundation interpreters 
and linguists are currently reviewing transcripts in order 
to translate the suspect's speech. Upon detainment, the 
suspect was agitated about having his possessions 
confiscated and refused to eat or drink for two days. 


On the third day, the suspect was seen in his cell on 
camera performing a series of specific movements 
repeatedly. After several hours, the security cameras 
were suddenly blinded by a bright flash emanating from 
the suspect's cell. Afterwards, when a clear video feed 
was reestablished, the suspect was no longer in his 
detainment cell. No apparent signs of damage to the cell 
or cell door is visible. 


Suspect is still awaiting an SCP designation, pending the 
close of this investigation. In the mean time, suspect may 
be considered anomalous. Foundation agents are 
advised to detain the suspect with a body harness to 
prevent movement when detained. 


Addendum-2424-004: After further analysis, it is confirmed that 
SCP-2424 is indeed capable of projecting signals in the form of ultra 
high frequencies (UHF). Only affected individuals in the interaction 
zone are able to perceive them as audio. Below is a sample 


recorded during testing believed to be the background noise as 
described by D-class personnel:

SCP-2425: Fifth Church Recruitment Tool 


Item #: SCP-2425 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2425 is to be kept in a 
10.5m x 8.5m x 5m containment cell in Reliquary Site-251. The cell 
is to be outfitted with one stage meant for the performance of 
dramatic acts, specifically musicals. At 16:00 EST on every second 
Friday of the month, a performance of a single song from a musical 
with religious themes is to be performed by volunteer Foundation 
researchers with some form of musical skill. 


The list of approved musicals includes: 


¢ Jesus Christ Superstar (Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice) 

« Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Andrew 
Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice) 

¢ The Prince of Egypt (Dreamworks Animation, dir. Simon 
Wells, Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner) 

¢ The Fiddler on the Roof (Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick) 

¢ The Book of Mormon (Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert 
Lopez) 


The following Sunday, a sermon is to be given by a Foundation- 
appointed religious authority regarding either Exodus 20:3-6, the 
Book of Leviticus, a passage from the Book of Mormon, a reading 
from the Torah, a reading from the Qu'ran, or the Horizon Initiative's 
Universal Text, if available. 


Following this, a replica of an instance of SCP-1425 is to be burned 
within two meters of SCP-2425. If a replica is unavailable, a copy of 
a film that Steffan Bristow has performed in may be substituted. 


It is to be publicly maintained that the actor Steffan Bristow died on 
January 4th, 2010 of a drug overdose in his room at the 


[REDACTED] Hotel in New York City. Films that star or feature 
Steffan Bristow may continue to be distributed, provided they have 
been scrubbed of Memetic Vector 2425-01, which involves the 
deletion of no more than five frames of film from the final cut. 


Description: SCP-2425 is an android originally made to resemble 
Steffan Bristow, a Dutch-American actor and member of the Fifth 
Church. SCP-2425 has a frame made out of an iron alloy similar to 
Damascus steel, but with approximately 15% more nanotube 
structures present in SCP-2425 than in the average specimen of the 
alloy. Upon recovery, SCP-2425 was covered by an anatomically 
correct approximation of Steffan Bristow's appearance, made out of 
human skin with an exact DNA match to Mr. Bristow. 


SCP-2425's primary anomalous effect occurred when it was part of 
the production of a major motion picture, specifically during its 
appearances on-camera?. When appearing on-camera for a 
duration of more than fifty-five seconds, SCP-2425's eyes glow on- 
screen. Following this, a short, memetic message flashes on the 
screen, known as Memetic Vector 2425-01 (hereafter M.V. 
2425-01). M.V. 2425-01 usually takes the form of a quote from Fifth 
Church scripture, a lyric from a Fifthist hymn or song, or a passage 
from one of the early chapters of SCP-1425. This effect occurs only 
five times per movie SCP-2425 is featured in, and only occurs for a 
single frame at a time. 


If individuals that have not undergone Level-2 Inoculation against 
Memetic Vector 2425-01 are exposed to it, they will develop an 
interest in Steffan Bristow's life, leading to affected individuals 
attempting to find information about Bristow, his films, and any other 
actors featured within them. This will eventually lead individuals 
affected by M.V. 2425-01 to information on the Fifth Church. This 
further leads to up to 20-27% of individuals affected by M.V. 
2425-01 to joining the Fifth Church. Post-exposure inoculation within 
52 hours can lead to up to a 59% decrease in interest on the subject 
of Steffan Bristow. 


A secondary anomalous effect occurs when SCP-2425 is in its 
powered-on state. When in this state, various news media outlets 
located in the Hollywood Area will report stories about Steffan 
Bristow's continued existence, being held by a 'shadow- 


governmental agency’. These are believed to be transmissions 
broadcast by SCP-2425 in an attempt to free itself from 
containment. 


SCP-2425 is powered by an anomalous power source, designated 
SCP-2425-A. SCP-2425-A is a form of battery that is powered and 
recharged by specific vibrational frequencies. These frequencies are 
produced by the human voice during the vocalization of songs by 
the band Constellation Starfish (a group affiliated with the Fifth 
Church) including singing, humming, or simply speaking the lyrics; a 
single word from the song "Old Chilly the Space Trucker", intoned as 
conceived by the composing artist, was found to produce enough 
energy to power SCP-2425 for approximately five hours. 


Currently, a way to drain SCP-2425's power has not been 
discovered. As such, it has been classified as a Keter-Class 
anomaly due to the threat it posses to the Foundation's mission of 
secrecy. See Experiment Logs. 


Experiment Log 2425-D: The following records Foundation 
attempts to power down SCP-2425. 


Test #: 001 

Hypothesis: SCP-2425 could be disabled by removing SCP-2425-A 
Procedure: D-Class personnel would attempt to manually remove 
SCP-2425-A. 

Result: Upon contact with SCP-2425-A, D-Class personnel D-2812 
was electrocuted by SCP-2425-A and immediately died. 
Conclusion: Manual removal of SCP-2425-A impossible with bare 
hands. 


Test #: 002 

Hypothesis: See Test # 001 

Procedure: See Test #001, but D-Class personnel would have full- 
body electrical insulation. 

Result: Electrical charge somehow bypassed insulation; however, 
resultant electrical shock was not fatal. D-Class Personnel D-2813 
complained of having 'a song stuck in his head’ until end-of-month 
retirement. 

Conclusion: Manual removal of SCP-2425 is impossible. 


idling in home driveways for a short while before driving off. 


SCP-265 has been encountered throughout rural Poland, far from 
urban centres but occasionally passing through small rural 
communities with populations under 500. It has been encountered at 
various times late in the day, with confirmed encounters having 
occurred at any time between 1829 hours and 0813 hours. ! 
SCP-265 normally moves at about 65 km/h2, but has been recorded 
exceeding 400 km/h3 in isolated instances. 


Addendum - Foundation Capture Attempt: At 23:11 on / /20 a 
vehicle matching SCP-265’s description was seen idling outside a 
Foundation-controlled weather station at [REDACTED]. After 
visually confirming the lack of human occupancy, a pursuit team 
including one helicopter and four high-performance offroad vehicles 
were dispatched from nearby Site-109 to follow and attempt to 
capture the vehicle. SCP-265 quickly accelerated to an excess of 
200 km/h and showed an unexplainable degree of maneuverability. 
The helicopter continued pursuit until SCP-265 vanished into a 
densely forested area. The following search of the area found no 
trace of any vehicle, but incomplete human remains were 
discovered 4 kilometres away in a waterlogged area. 


Addendum - Similar Phenomenon: Given multiple concurrences 
of SCP-265 and human remains, and the similarity between their 
respected vehicles, its possible that SCP-265 may be a variant or 
distantly related to phenomena observed in SCP-2613. Investigation 
into both anomalies is ongoing. 


Additional Documentation: Below is attached a translated series 
of excerpts collected from civilian sources, including audio 
interviews, law enforcement, news outlets, and personal diaries. 
This list is incomplete - please see Dr Seidelman for access to full 
records. 


Open File SCP-265 - 
Sample of Assorted Records, 1960-Present 


RECORD: Incident Transcript 265-1973-4/3 
Recovered from police records of [LOCATION 
REDACTED] 


Test #: 005 

Hypothesis: Due to the fact that SCP-2425-A was apparently 
powered by Fifthist hymns, Dr. Eldridge hypothesized that hymns 
from other religions could de-power SCP-2425-A. 

Procedure: A small choir of volunteer Foundation researchers was 
instructed to sing the hymns "Amazing Grace" and "God Rest You 
Merry, Gentlemen". 

Result: No change in power levels in SCP-2425-A; broadcast 
reporting a sighting of Steffan Bristow in the town of [REDACTED], 
approximately fifteen kilometers from where SCP-2425 was located, 
was reported by an NBC news affiliate in Hollywood. 


Test #: 011 

Hypothesis: Dr. Eldridge hypothesized that a Jewish hymn would 
depower SCP-2425-A. 

Procedure: Originally, it was intended for the song "Ma Nevu" to be 
performed by volunteer researchers who were fluent in Hebrew; 
however, Dr. Eldridge's research assistant mistakenly obtained a 
Hebrew translation of lyrics to the song "To Life (L'chayim)" from the 
musical Fiddler on the Root. 

Result: Recognizing the tune approximately thirty seconds into the 
song, Dr. Eldridge ordered the test be terminated, with a repeat of 
the test to be scheduled for a later date. 


However, Dr. Eldridge noted that SCP-2425's movements appeared 
more sluggish following this test. 


Conclusion: Further testing necessary. 


Test #: 012 

Hypothesis: Songs related to religion, but not explicitly used in 
religious ceremonies or gatherings, would be effective in depowering 
SCP-2425-A. 

Procedure: Dr. Eldridge selected three songs to be sung by 
volunteer researchers: "Hello" from the musical The Book of 
Mormon, "The Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash, and "The 
Christmas Shoes" by the group NewSong. 

Result: Of the three songs, "Hello" was the most effective, with "The 
Christmas Shoes" and "The Man Comes Around" having little to no 
effect. Upon the conclusion of "Hello", SCP-2425 had severely 
impeded movement. It is hypothesized that this power drain was due 


to the number of singers required to perform "Hello" being larger 
than the other two songs. 

Conclusion: Songs related to religion, but not explicitly religious in 
content, will have some effect on SCP-2425-A. 


Note from Dr. Eldridge: I'd just like to state, on the record, that 
seeing those researchers sing a song from that Mormon musical is 
the happiest I've seen them in a while. 


Test: 014 

Hypothesis: See Test 12, with the addendum that the larger the 
group singing the song, the more effective the power drain. 
Procedure: The song "Go, Go, Go Joseph" from the musical 
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat would be 
performed by volunteer researchers; in Broadway productions, this 
song required at least fifteen people to effectively perform. 
Result: Upon conclusion of the song, SCP-2425 saw no further 
power drain than from previous tests; approximately 50% power 
drain. 

Conclusion: While the musical method is effective, alternate 
methods must be found for fully depowering SCP-2425-A. 


Note from Researcher Mayberry, Research Assistant to Dr. 
Eldridge: Everyone was laughing after that test. Some of them even 
started dancing; they really got into it. Think we could do that again, 
Doc? 


Note From Dr. Eldridge: It is under consideration. 


Test #: 017 

Hypothesis: Destruction of objects related to the Fifth Church would 
result in further power drain. 

Procedure: Test Denied. Items related to the Fifth Church are 
considered valuable artifacts. 


Test #: 018 

Hypothesis: See Test # 017 

Procedure: A mockup of an instance of SCP-1425 was created, 
and then incinerated in front of SCP-2425 and several present 
researchers. 

Result: Despite the instance not being authentic, SCP-2425 


completely powered down upon destruction of the object. 
Conclusion: See Addendum 


Addendum: Official Proposal from Dr. William Eldridge: 


To: 05-9 

Subject: SCP-2425 Containment Revision 

Reliquary Site-25 is probably one of the most frustrating 
places to work in the Foundation. Before | came here, | 
was a theologian, yes, but | was also an atheist. Seeing 
things like [REDACTED] shook me to my core. God was 
real, a/l/ Gods were real, and they could kill us at any 
time, trigger the apocalypse by sneezing. 


It is rare that we make any breakthroughs here. I've had 
two people on my team commit suicide by SCP out of 
sheer frustration from banging their heads against the 
wall and never getting a result. 


| am happy to report that we have made progress: a way 
to effectively neutralize SCP-2425, and any other 
possible instances of it. A combination of spiritual (not 
explicitly religious) music, performed by a large number 
of people, along with the apparent destruction of 
materials related to the Fifth Church, has resulted ina 
complete powering-off of SCP-2425. As | write this, it has 
been inactive for the past week. 


| have attached to this e-mail revised containment 
procedures for SCP-2425, which have been revised by 
members of my team. It is simple, cost-effective, and it 
works. | recommend implementation as soon as 
possible.
