fuckin’ weird. | kept writing, but | noticed 
something was off. 


Dr. Sturm: Off? 


SCP-2465-1-68: Like something was wrong. | 
kept fucking with the margins. | kept fucking 
with the margins, and | kept telling myself "it's 
all okay, it's an artistic choice." But then | 
started finding a pattern. And then | put it all 
together. 


Dr. Sturm: What kind of pattern? 
SCP-2465-1-68: You're not gonna believe this. 
Dr. Sturm: Try me. 


SCP-2465-1-68: | printed out what I'd written 
that day. That's a full thirty pages. And | laid 
them out on my living room floor. The words, 
the margins, the pages... they're all part of it. 
Putting them out on my floor created a bigass 
version of that crappy painting. 


Dr. Sturm: Hm. And what of the quality of the 
writing itself? 


SCP-2465-1-68: You kidding me? It wasn't 
until after | took another look that | found | was 
just writing out descriptions of that painting 
over and over again. | didn't even know | knew 
that many ways to say "the jackass has red 
hair.” 


Dr. Sturm: Interesting. 


SCP-2465-1-68: "Interesting?" That's all you 
got for me?! I... sorry. It's just that the worst 
part of it all is that | genuinely want to go back 
and try again. | know | can do better. But it 


looks like I'm simultaneously creatively 
bankrupt while being more driven to write than 
ever. It's like, all | want to do is shit, but at this 
point I'm out of shit fo shit, but I'm sitting on the 
shitter and it feels like I'm gonna be shitting out 
my intestines real soon. Do you get me, Doc? 


Dr. Sturm: |... think | understand. 


SCP-2465-1-68: Then do me a solid and show 
a little sympathy. Put me under. Let me really 
write again. 


End Log 


Closing Statement: SCP-2465-1-68 has since been 
given the amnestic treatment. All anomalous effects 

have since dissipated. Further observation has been 
discontinued. 


Footnotes 

1. Literally "Sadness is Temporary" in Italian. 

2. Painting, drawing, and sculpting have had the greatest effect. 
Other media such as writing, filmmaking, and photography work less 
effectively, but still cause anomalous effects faster than a subject 
with no artistic aptitude.

SCP-2466: Slay Dragon Save City 


Item #: SCP-2466 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2466 is kept in a standard 
storage locker at Site-44. Testing of SCP-2466 may be undertaken 
with the permission of SCP-2466's HMCL supervisor. Testing of 
SCP-2466-1 is not permitted. To prevent accidental activation of 
SCP-2466-1, all shortcuts to the program have been removed from 
the device. If SCP-2466-1 is activated, SCP-2466 must be 
disconnected from its power source immediately. 


Description: SCP-2466 is a Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone 
running the Android operating system. It is host to a number of non- 
anomalous applications as well as SCP-2466-1, identified as "Slay 
Dragon Save City". SCP-2466-1's code is incomprehensible, will not 
operate on any device other than SCP-2466, and will reinstall itself 
on SCP-2466 if removed. Termination of SCP-2466-1 is only 
possible by removing SCP-2466's power source. 


SCP-2466-1 is a text-based game in which the user battles against 
an instance of "Mega Charizard X", a character from the Pokémon 
franchise’. SCP-2466-1 uses the battle mechanics found in the 
Pokémon games produced for the Nintendo 3DS. The user is 
assigned a randomized Pokémon from among those that can be 
acquired in the game Pokémon X, with access to four random 
moves that the Pokémon in question can learn. 


Combat is turn-based, with the user and Mega Charizard X attacking 
each other or using other moves in turn. If the user-controlled 
Pokémon's Hit Points are depleted, it will faint’, preventing it from 
executing its move if it has not already done so. SCP-2466-1 will 
then replace the user's Pokémon with another randomly generated 
Pokémon. If Mega Charizard X faints, it will be replaced by another 
copy of Mega Charizard X. The user may input the command 


"Check" to gain all relevant information on their current Pokémon, or 
the name of any of their Pokémon's moves to execute that move. 


Every move executed by SCP-2466-1's instance of Mega Charizard 
X compels 10-12 random residents of , California, to engage in 
activities that correspond to the selected move. Mega Charizard X 
can use the moves Dragon Dance, Roost, Flare Blitz, and Dragon 
Claw. See Addendum 2466-1 for details. There is no evidence that 
the user's actions have similar effects, either in or anywhere 
else. 


Due to Mega Charizard X's high power, few Pokémon assigned to 
the user can avoid fainting from both Flare Blitz and Dragon Claw 
after it has used Dragon Dance. However, the Al that determines 
Mega Charizard X's moves frequently makes strategic errors, which 
gives the user frequent opportunities to launch counterattacks. 


Addendum 2466-1: Effects of Mega Charizard X's moves 


The 10-12 residents of affected by each move are granted the 
collective designation SCP-2466-2 for the duration of their 
compulsion. Flare Blitz and Dragon Claw will afflict real-world 
damage in proportion to the damage dealt by Mega Charizard X with 
the corresponding move in SCP-2466-1. SCP-2466-1 will not accept 
user input until the effects of the associated move are completed. 


¢ Dragon Dance: SCP-2466-2 will converge in a public space 
and perform synchronized dances while repeatedly singing 
the song Pokémon Theme from the English adaptation of the 
Pokémon anime. This lasts for approximately fifteen minutes, 
after which SCP-2466-2 will set fire to the nearest building and 
disperse. 

¢ Roost: SCP-2466-2 members will climb into a nearby tree 

and fall asleep for 3-4 hours, sitting upright without support. 

This rarely results in injury. 

Flare Blitz: SCP-2466-2 will set fire to themselves using 

nearby flammable materials and sources of heat, then run 

towards and collide with another nearby individual. 

¢ Dragon Claw: SCP-2466-2 will obtain claws and assault a 
nearby individual using them. While some users will use pre- 
existing claws (Such as those used in costumery, or those 


attached to an animal) or affix sharp objects to their fingers, 
the most common method is for SCP-2466-2 to mutilate their 
fingers such that the bones form sharp points. The combat 
effectiveness of fingers altered this way usually exceeds 
expectations. 


Addendum 2466-2: Atypical manifestations 


On several occasions, SCP-2466-2's behavior deviated from the 
patterns described in Addendum 2466-1. All occurred prior to 
containment, and thus the move used is not known with certainty.

SCP-2467: A Sum Greater Than Its Parts 


File photo of SCP-2467 in 1995. No photographs of the object's 


current configuration are available. 


Item #: SCP-2467 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation satellites are to 
constantly track the movement of SCP-2467, with analysts and 
programs predicting the movements of the object, with plants in the 
meteorological bureau to divert traffic from areas likely to be visited 
by SCP-2467. In addition, the SCPS Sunderland, a fully armed 
Legend-class cutter, will be dispatched to patrol areas where 
SCP-2467 is likely to come into contact with other vessels. SCPS 
Sunderland is to be equipped with a minimum of two rigid bottomed 
motor life boats to aid in rescue of survivors of encounters with 
SCP-2467, along with high impact naval weaponry to aid in 
discouraging the object from attacking civilian, merchant and military 
vessels. Absolutely no aircraft is to be deployed in the area of 
SCP-2467's area of operation, due to the severe weather 
phenomena associated with it. 


Where possible, waste dumped by SCP-2467 is to be collected by 
Foundation watercraft and taken to the nearest Foundation research 
site for study. 


A disinformation campaign is to be run following a Boarding and/or 
Abduction event. Typical explanations to be provided include user 
error, sinking via rough seas or rogue waves, mutiny, and pirate 
encounters. Amnestics are to be administered to any and all 
survivors and witnesses of SCP-2467 and its activities. 


Description: SCP-2467 is a large oceangoing ship approximately 
300 metres in length and 45 metres in width, bearing the nameplate 
"DV Toluca". Research personnel have been unable to find any 
record of a ship matching the Toluca's description that has been 


registered to any port in the last 138 years. Of note is that 
components of SCP-2467 come from a wide variety of other sea 
craft, including some such as the flying bridge dating back to at least 
the 1700's along with various naval weapons which operate 
autonomously. It primarily travels in deep water and searches for 
other vessels in an effort to abduct crew and appropriate cargo, 
before leaving the vessel adrift. 


Weather patterns in a 5 kilometre radius of SCP-2467 consistently 
display adverse and at times violent conditions regardless of and 
often in direct contrast to the given ocean state at the time. 
Observation has shown near constant moderate rainstorms and 
thick fog in the area surrounding SCP-2467, accompanied by 
moderate to strong winds and slightly rough waters. In addition to 
the rain, wind, and fog detailed above, winds have been known to 
reach speeds of over 125kph, and waves reaching an average peak 
height of 25 metres when attempting to disable another ship. It 
should be noted that there are outliers, such as a 42 metre! high 
wave recorded on February 20, 19582. Whirlpools of varying 
severity have been also spotted appearing in the bough wake of 
SCP-2467 on multiple occasions. 


SCP-2467 is operated by a maintenance crew, corresponding to 
approximately 75 individuals abducted from other vessels 
encountered by the object. Observance has shown that those on 
board SCP-2467 tend to adapt to the stress of their abduction and 
behave in a manner described as "cheerful" within a short time 
frame following abduction. This is believed to be a form of mind- 
affecting anomaly, as shown by any person coming into contact or 
close proximity with SCP-2467 for an extended period of time (3-10 
days depending on the individual) coming to believe that SCP-2467 
is correct in its actions, and will gain a strong desire or obsession 
towards aiding it however possible. Gradually, this causes a 
degenerative condition in the brain of the person, to the point where 
the individual loses any semblance of independent thought at 
approximately 4 to 5 months after initial contact. 


Roughly every 40 days, SCP-2467 dumps a large amount of waste 
bundled into a net out of a rear port in the ship. Waste materials 
tend to be composed of damaged or worn ship components and

Test subject: 1 D-Class personnel (D-272-04) 
Surface: As above. 

Lighting: 1 Stadium light in a fixed position, roughly 45° 
from horizontal 

Purpose: Establish the effects of long-term containment. 
Procedure: D-272-04 positioned central to the room. 
Object is dropped onto the subject's shadow. 

Results: Subject held. After the third day, subject 
becomes unresponsive to attempts to provide 
nourishment. After the first week, subject heard to only 
speak [REDACTED] (see transcript below). By the 
eleventh day, the subject, having not eaten or drank in 8 
days, seen to become agitated, rapidly shifting between 
mania and a comatose state. At the fourteen day mark 
the test is terminated. Object recovered. Subject noted to 
be severely malnourished, but resumed speaking 
English once the object is removed, and proceeded to 
recover rapidly before monthly termination. 
Conclusions: Extended containment has yielded that 
the subject will survive for prolonged periods without 
nourishment, but will enter a degraded mental state. 
Addendum: Partial transcript of subject D-272-04's 
manic speaking from day 14, translated sections in {}:

Dr. Kimiro: Right... How do you feel? 
D-272-04: {... The chains they bind | cannot

fuel waste, and human cadavers. 


Addendum 2467-01: Following incident SCP-2467-12, Foundation 
personnel recovering waste materials deposited by SCP-2467 are to 
work in teams of 6, with a minimum of 2 personnel to monitor the 
water for approaching sharks and other marine carnivoress.
