Further psychological evaluation of SCP-2192 seems to suggest 
that it is unaware of its harmful effects towards others and in fact 
does not understand what radiation is. Doctors feel that SCP-2192 
should not be made aware of the full implications of its anomalous 
qualities, as SCP-2192's empathetic temperament suggests that 
knowing the truth would cause it severe psychological trauma and 
make containment far more difficult. If SCP-2192 asks any questions 
related to its containment, it is advised that SCP-2192 be led to 
believe it is being held for medical treatment. 


Addendum 2192-01: Crayons are not to be given to SCP-2192. 
SCP-2192's high body temperature immediately melts crayons upon 
contact, causing SCP-2192 considerable emotional distress. 


Addendum 2192-01a: Paper is not to be given to SCP-2192, as it 
represents an unacceptable fire hazard. 


Addendum 2192-02: On / /_ , the cold water sprinkler system in 
SCP-2192's chamber was activated after the temperature inside 
rose suddenly by more than 20°C. Upon entering the chamber, 
personnel discovered SCP-2192 on the floor of the chamber in 
obvious distress. SCP-2192 began crying, complaining of severe 
pain in its legs. A physical examination revealed that several 
fissures had opened in SCP-2192's flesh, bisecting the back of both 
thighs and front of the shins, exposing bone. It was discovered then 
that SCP-2192 had grown 3 cm in height, and the loss of elasticity in 
its flesh caused by its severe burns led to cracks forming in the 
tissue. A heavy sedative was administered and appears effective as 


a short term solution.

SCP-2193: "Monthly Termination" 


Item #: SCP-2193 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: The Artificial Intelligence 
Applications Division (AIAD) is to monitor the Foundation database 
for instances of SCP-2193-1. The instances are to be logged and 
removed, and the holding Site's (if applicable) personnel will require 
amnestic therapy. Provisional Site- , Site-51 and Observation Site- 
are to be exempted from this procedure, in order to facilitate 
observation of the phenomena. Contact with these Sites at any level 
(whether through in-person visits, or simply phone/email 
communication) is restricted, to prevent further contamination of 
Mission-Critical Sites. 


Description: SCP-2193-1 is an infohazardous anomaly affecting the 
documentation for items and entities in the Foundation database. It 
often appears in the object's Special Containment Procedures or 
addenda, and references an operation referred to as the 'Monthly 
Termination’ of Class-D personnel. No evidence for the initial 
adoption or implementation of such a policy exists in any Foundation 
records, as verified by a RAISA investigation into all prior O5/ 
Administrator mandates and SDECotW resolutions. 


SCP-2193-1 is automatically inserted into a random digital SCP slot 
at irregular intervals. The method by which it is generated is 
unknown. 


Individuals who are exposed to SCP-2193-1 are subjected to a 
memetic effect, wherein they fully believe the Monthly Termination of 
Class-D personnel to be a valid Foundation operation. This belief 
can be easily spread through any and all forms of communication 
solely by containing the phrase ‘Monthly Termination’. Uninfected 
personnel that possess doubt or suspicion are able to be overcome 
with simple rhetoric supporting the policy. The infected continue to 


SCP-252: Humboldt Squid 


Item #: SCP-252 
Object Class: Euclid Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-252 is to be contained ina 
150 m8 aquarium, reinforced with high tensile steel plating. Guards 
are to be specially trained in water-borne combat techniques and 
armed with model-B74H harpoon rifles with high-capacity electrical 
discharge shafts. The tank is fitted with 15 remotely-activated depth 
charges, which are to be detonated simultaneously if a containment 
breach is imminent A breeding pair is maintained under the direction 
of marine biologist Dr. . Personnel should not approach the 
containment tank unless they have been previously prepared for the 
anomalous effects of the animals. 


Additional specimens of SCP-252 may exist in the wild. Due to their 
destructive capabilities, capture is deemed a high priority. Given the 
difficulties inherent in the size of specimens, termination is 
authorized if a breach of secrecy is imminent. Current specimens 
are considered sufficient and further acquisitions are not a priority. 
Containment of information regarding encounters will consist of 
Standard Cover Story 53 "Drunken Sailor" and administration of 
amnestics as necessary. 


Description: SCP-252 is a sub-species of Dosidicus gigas. Mature 
specimens are noticeably smaller than average, reaching no more 
than 1 m in length and weighing a maximum of 40 kg. Dissection 
shows the absence of an ink sac and an increased density of 
chromatophores (approx. 20 times the normal adult average). 


Behavior is identical in most ways to mundane specimens, except 
when hunting or threatened. When a member of SCP-252 detects 
prey, they exhibit aggressive behavior and move towards the target 
at maximum speed while rapidly cycling their chromatophores. This 
color shifting has a hypnotic effect on prey animals that make visual 


operate as if SCP-2193 has always been a Foundation-held policy, 
and there is a noted lack of cognitive dissonance when presented 
with conflicting information. 


Aside from the excessive expenditure of Class-D personnel, Sites 
and individuals infected are able to perform their duties 
exceptionally, and without undue complications. The first known 
document to host SCP-2193-1, SCP- ; has been removed from the 
database, and is undergoing review from the Foundation 
Counterconceptual Division. 


No internal documentation or instructions exist that detail the actual 
termination process. Regardless, infected individuals and 
departments operate and ‘terminate’ Class-D personnel in a uniform 
manner. Remote observation of Sites and_, as well as security 
footage from affected Sites prior to SCP-2193's discovery have 
revealed the ‘Monthly Termination’ process: 


¢ On the final day of the month, testing is suspended on any 
SCPs which would involve Class-D testing. 


¢ Approximately one third of the Site's resident Class-D 
population will stand facing their cell doors.2 


A sufficient detachment of security personnel will arrive to 
escort the Class-D in a single-file line throughout the facility. 
Though the guards will be armed, no restraints are placed on 
the Class-D. 


¢ Researchers, Level 0, and other personnel not directly 
involved in the process will avoid the path the officers/Class-D 
follow. This is perfectly choreographed, despite the lack of 
planning/forewarning. 


The Class-D will be led to a point outside the facility, and 
taken to an area that is not covered by surveillance systems. 


¢ Sub-dermal tracking implants on the Class-D cease function. 


The security guards return to the facility. The officers will claim 
to have terminated the Class-D via their sidearms.4 


Recovery: SCP-2193 was discovered on 10/31/1994, by AIAD 
PROJECT: CORINTHIAN (aka: "Glacon"), after its initial upload to 
Site-17. The Site was undergoing an SCP-2193 event, which the Al 
observed through the surveillance system. It attempted to contact 
then-Site Director J. O , as the Al interpreted the procedure as 
illogical, and without precedent. Its communications were 
disregarded. 


The Al correctly deduced the presence of a memetic effect. It began 
the process of removing SCP-2193-1 throughout the Site's backup 
digital files, as well as every entry of the main database accessible 
by Site-17 personnel. It completed the process before the D-Class 
had been removed from their cells, and disabled the doors' 
electronic locks. 


Dietrich M. Lurk was contacted by Site-17 Security Chief, who 
requested his assistance in 

disabling the Al's system override. D. Lurk investigated the situation, 
and finding the Al to be acting in accordance Standard Principles, 
instead alerted MTF Eta-10 ("See No Evil"). 


Site-17, along with twelve other Sites had to be quarantined, with 
their corresponding records wiped of SCP-2193-1. Provisional Site- 
and Observation Site- were exempted for testing purposes. 


Addendum: Incident Log 2193/ 


Foreword: On 01/31/1999 at 01:30, Provisional Site- 
underwent an SCP-2193 event. During the transport of 
Class-D, behavioral changes were noted in both the 
detainees and the guards. The Class-D repeatedly 
expressed concern over their fate, while the guards 
apologized profusely. The following is an excerpt taken 
from Agent Ysson's head cam as the event reached its 
conclusion 


01:59:23: The group approaches a rounded clearing in 
the woods 2km South of the Site. 


02:01:46: The Class-D continue directly towards the 
clearing's center. The guards branch out, and form a ring 


around the group. This formation is congruous with 
previous observations. 


02:04:32: The guards around the Class-D's perimeter 
turn away from the group and obscure their head cams, 
excluding Agent Ysson. 


Agent Ysson: //ndecipherable due to sudden 
interference, presumably 'Not']'...again" 


02:05:05: D-1920 lifts vertically, and hovers in place .3 
meters off the ground. 


02:05:09: D-1920 continues upward, at an estimated 
speed of 35,000 km/hr. D-1823 begins to hover. 


02:05:12-02:06:58: This process repeats for each 
present Class-D.° They are taken individually. 


02:06:58: Agent Ysson watches the final Class-D depart, 
and fixates on the full moon. 


02:07:33: The moon appears to 'blink'.6 


02:07:35: Agent Ysson begins to run. In the background, 
the other guards can be seen remaining in their position. 


02:07:39: Agent Ysson is lifted in a manner similar to the 
Class-D. 


02:07:41: Camera feed cuts as the Agent reaches the 
stratosphere. 


Afterword: Under questioning, the guards asserted that 
Agent Ysson had been attacked by the Class-D, and that 
he had been killed in the resulting altercation. 


Footnotes 

1. Personnel are to be reminded that there is noSite-5. 

2. Affected Class-D are fully compliant and cooperative throughout 
the entirety of the process. It should be noted that the affected 
Class-D will still verbally assault and threaten nearby personnel. 


3. Hidden cameras sewn into the guards' uniforms have been 
intentionally obscured, including in cases where they have no 
foreknowledge its existence. 

4. To date, the officer's firearms have been returned without a single 
discharged round. 

5. Neither Provisional Site- , nor Orbital Assets were able to view 
this phenomena, despite the fact that the area was covered by the 
surveillance systems of each. 

6. Personnel stationed atLunar Area-32reported no corresponding 
abnormalities at this time.

SCP-2194: Filth 


Item #: SCP-2194 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Embedded Foundation 
personnel in health inspection and waste management departments 
worldwide currently monitor all major urban centers for signs of an 
SCP-2194 outbreak, while spearheading intensive cleanup and 
recycling campaigns within these areas. In the event of a confirmed 
outbreak, Mobile Task Force Gamma-9 ("Cleaners") will be 
deployed to quarantine the affected area. All instances of 
SCP-2194-1 are to be isolated within the quarantine zone and 
neutralized by means of aerosolised VX nerve agent, followed by 
incineration of remains. All surfaces and remains contaminated by 
SCP-2194 are to be sealed in expanding polyurethane foam. A new 
layer of foam sealant is to be applied every seven (7) days, or at the 
first sign of SCP-2194 breaching the seal. 


Affected areas are to remain under indefinite quarantine, maintained 
by amnestic and cover-up procedures where appropriate. Should an 
SCP-2194 outbreak affect a great enough portion of an urban area 
so as to make isolation and cover-up unfeasible, the area will be 
permanently evacuated under pretense of a major chemical leak or 
imminent nuclear meltdown (if applicable). 


Under no circumstances are personnel to attempt to "clean" 
SCP-2194 from any surface or organism. 


Description: SCP-2194 is a phenomenon affecting densely- 
populated urban areas, which appears to manifest in the presence 
of persistently excessive quantities of refuse and waste. 


SCP-2194 manifests as an amorphous and partially mobile mass of 
common refuse, dead micro-organisms, fecal matter, live bacteria, 
assorted particulate matter and other forms of biological and non- 


biological waste. It is currently unknown whether the initial mass of 
SCP-2194 originates as non-anomalous waste that assumes 
anomalous properties, or forms spontaneously through other means. 
SCP-2194 propagates via direct physical contact, gradually 
spreading to adjacent surfaces as a brownish film of waste and 
particulate. Refuse, waste and dead biological matter becomes 
incorporated into the mass of SCP-2194 on contact. 


Should material affected by SCP-2194 come into direct contact with 
any surface, including the skin of a live organism, it will leave a 
"stain" at the point of contact. This stain spreads at a relatively low 
rate (< 1cm squared per hour) - however, any attempt to abrade, 
dissolve, corrode or otherwise remove this stain results in the 
formation of an amount of material roughly double the amount 
removed. Avian and mammalian subjects exposed to SCP-2194 are 
invariably distressed by the appearance and growth of the stain, 
becoming increasingly frantic in their attempts to remove it. This 
behaviour causes the rapid spread of SCP-2194 material across the 
body surface. 


Once SCP-2194 material covers at least 33% of a live organism's 
body surface, the organism becomes an instance of SCP-2194-1. 
Instances of SCP-2194-1 are capable of spreading SCP-2194 via 
direct physical contact and display extremely unhygienic behaviour, 
characterized by an obsession with both SCP-2194 and other, non- 
anomalous forms of waste. These behaviours include, but are not 
limited to: covering self in waste; covering nearby objects and 
surfaces in waste; collecting large quantities of refuse and dead 
material to add to the main mass of SCP-2194; immersing self in 
SCP-2194; ingesting SCP-2194; and attempting to [DATA 
EXPUNGED] causing SCP-2194 to spread to other individuals. 


Instances of SCP-2194-1 typically expire within 5-7 days of 
exposure, often due to suffocation caused by the formation of an 
overwhelming amount of waste material in the lungs and air 
passages. Larger organisms may remain alive as long as 18 days 
before expiring from the effects of blood poisoning and necrotizing 
fasciitis’. 


SCP-2194 can be partially removed by sustained exposure to an 
open flame; however, its regenerative properties in response to 


attempted removal allow a minimum of 10% of the material to 
remain on a surface even after several minutes of continuous 
burning. Incineration is 100% effective in the neutralization of 
instances of SCP-2194-1. 


The most effective containment method currently Known is the use 
of an expanding foam sealant to cover all surfaces affected by 
SCP-2194. Provided that the sealant is applied thoroughly and 
within a space of 2 hours, SCP-2194 is capable of spreading to the 
exterior surface of the seal in no less than 200 hours (roughly 8 
days). Timeous reapplication prevents this occurrence.
