“Auden Gerard Klose was found at Central Park, 
Manhattan in the state of suspended animation out of 
anomalous causes. The individual or individuals 
responsible of this is unknown as of now, however 
evidence suggests it was done by associates of the 
underground terrorist group, Are We Cool Yet?, as Klose 
is known to be affiliated with the group. Klose has been 
deemed deceased in official documents and a team has 
been dispatched for cover-up protocol. Containment 
specialists are currently in the process of safely 
transporting Klose to Site-28. 


“Note: Investigation shows Klose’s only contribution to 


Are We Cool Yet? is an installation titled ‘Outdoor Object 
of Ordinance’. The object has been terminated under the 
order of Researchers Kelly and Reynolds shortly after 
dispatch to Site-28 due to lack of evidence of anomalous 
properties.”

“Nothing about Auden Klose is 'normal' by any standard. 
He is the type of person who cannot fit in any group, too 
outrageous for ‘regular’ artists, too simple for Are We 
Cool Yet?, et cetera. | admire that about him, how 
delightfully opposite he is from his recent submission, 
Outdoor Object of Ordinance. | have been in the 
movement longer than he has, and | am beyond 
impressed of how little it took for him to get it. 


"Lam not afraid to admit that | am obsessed with Auden 
Klose and his bench. He has inspired me to create an 
installation piece as an homage for his. | already know 
what I'm going to call it; ‘Subject of Ordinance’.”

The Suicide Of Dr. F 


Walking down the halls of Site-104, you flip through the report that 
was tossed on your desk this morning. The Internal Investigations 

Department sent you to look into a suicide. The suicide of a Doctor 
Dan H. F 


Sometimes your job is figuring out what went wrong in the moments 
before a containment breach destroyed a facility. Other times it's 
looking into why a fresh out of grad school researcher was found 
dead in his office. The autopsy says it was an overdose of injected 
paralytics.

There are worse ways to start a Thursday. 


"Mike was it? I'd like to see the security footage for the containment 
here. Maybe there's something up with Dr. F that will help with this." 


"That's err, that's going to be tricky... You see, the tapes from 
yesterday, they were corrupted. Must have been anomalous or 
something." 


"You think it's an anomalous effect of the chicken?" 


"Yeah that's probably what happened! It's been really freaking me 
out. I'm lucky the files were corrupted before | saw them, you know? 
Otherwise, | might have been exposed to the same anomaly that got 
Dan and you'd be investigating two suicides maybe!"

Corrupted data could still mean something, right? 
flavor 


larger data repository, currently estimated at exceeding TBin 
size. This 'slice' changes position every 24 hours at exactly 00:11:53 
AM, thus necessitating all data on SCP-976 to be downloaded daily 
for analysis. 


From ongoing analysis of over ,__ 'slices' of data extracted from 
SCP-976, the following file fragments have been reconstructed: 


* Several fragments of news reports, including images and 
partial videos. These news items are all dated in the past, but 
do not match any news reports in Foundation archives. 

¢ Archives documenting the use of [DATA EXPUNGED] and 
[DATA EXPUNGED], technologies that have not been 
invented, or were never pursued in modern science. 

¢ Containment procedures and experiment logs for SCP- , an 

object that was destroyed during acquisition and never 

contained. 

Detailed experiment logs for SCP-__, which were never 

authorized due to the danger involved in said experiment 

proposals. 

Detailed descriptions for SCP- and SCP-_, objects that do 

not exist. 

¢ Arecord of assets and SCP objects stored at Site- , which 
does not exist. 


All data recovered from SCP-976 matches standard Foundation 
data formats, but otherwise do not seem to correspond to data found 
in Foundation archives. It is currently theorized that SCP-976 may 
be a 'window' into a Foundation archive from an alternate timeline or 
existence. 


Analysis into data recovered from SCP-976 is ongoing. 
Addendum 976-1: 


On / /200, Dr. and Dr. were killed while accessing data 
on SCP-976 that appears to have contained a memetic kill agent 
similar to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Increased security has been 
requested for SCP-976 data, and automated data analysis must be 
used before opening unknown files. 


The containment area is pretty standard for the bioresearch site. At 
the center of the room is an animal containment cage with a few 
chickens inside. (Someone must have been concerned chicken 404 
would get lonely) At the far end of the cage is the white plane that 
can only be SCP-3620 moving around the other chickens. 


A D-Class personnel is between you and the cage with their back to 
you, taking notes on a clipboard. No one else is in the room. Though 
a security camera in the corner reminds you you've never truly alone 
in the Foundation. 


Talk To The D-Class Personnel - click Tab 13 


They may not be full on researchers, but they work hands-on with a 
lot of SCPs. 


Take A Closer Look At SCP-3620 - Click Tab 17 


The shape of it is strange. A white flat plane that moves like a 
chicken... 


"Those papers, let me take a look at them." 
"Oh? Of course." 


You look over the documents Dr. F was working on for 
SCP-3620. Your eyes bother you when you read too long, but 
nothing seems out of place. They were trying to increase the feed 
density which could, in turn, allow them to chop off more chicken 
without worrying too much about where it was all coming from. 


Seems like a nice way to ignore the fact that it's a nonexistent, 
infinite chicken they're pulling this all out of. It's no wonder 
containment breaches happen so often around here, no one can just 
leave things the way they found it! There are some notes on Dr. 

F ‘s computer about a discrepancy with the record input and 
output weights but Dr. M__ says he hadn't been informed of this. 


The last update was just 14 hours ago. The last time anyone saw 

F before he was found at his desk here, stiff as a board. In this 
very seat. Might be a good time to call it quits here. Nothing else in 
his computer is of note. 


Investigate Dr. M More - lick Tab 36 


Dr.M_ doesn't seem bothered by the death of one of his junior 
researchers, does he? 


Head Back To The Containment Area - Click Tab 21 
This place has already been looked over by forensic. 


Before you can finish the report you arrive at the anomalous animal 
containment wing housing SCP-3620, which Dr. F was 
assigned to. For this case you've been granted access to the SCP 
file and its related documents. (But for some reason, your clearance 
doesn't let you see Dr. F's unblocked out last name. Got to love 
bureaucracy) It's already 11 am and you want to get a move on this 
before things go cold. 


SCP-3620, "Data Expunged the Chicken," Object Class: Safe. Still, 
the report brings into question if the suicide was caused by an 
anomalous effect or not. All this time in containment and they still 
don't know everything this SCP is capable of. 


What do you want to do?

"Danny? What can | tell you about the guy? | didn't know him all that 
well. We started at the same time on SCP-3620. He was a real 
serious kind of guy. Real stick in the mud, you know?" 


"Did he seem distressed or distracted last time you saw him?" 


"Yeah, you know what, he really did seem off. He closed the 
containment last night, | watched him do it like it always does, 
locking it behind him. Watched him walk off. Didn't realize I'd be the 
last person to see him alive. It's strange to think about." 


"But how did he seem?" 


"Oh, he seemed really out of it. Real sad, or just like, like almost ina 
trance? If it was something that SCP-3620 did, maybe it put the 
whammy on him just before that? Guess I'm lucky it didn't get me 
too since | would have just been out here watching the door before 
lockdown for the night." 


"Is there anything else you can tell me?" 


"Cross-contamination man, you never know what's going to get you. 
Everyone's so worried about the statues that will snap your neck, 
but no one knows when some critter is going to fry your liver 
because some other thing you're exposed to is messing with your 
mind, you know?" 


Go Talk To The D-Class Personnel - Click Tab 15 
You think you recall her name was Clara. 


Go Talk To Dr. M~- Click Tab 12 
A researcher should know more about this than these two. 


"Cross contamination? That's just like getting "keter duty" as 
punishment or monthly terminations for us D-class! Maybe, 
somewhere something like that happened, but then it became a 
rumor and spread like wild! These days cross testing is pretty 
common and there's usually very little risk involved." 


"Do others on your assignment feel the same?" 


"Well, there aren't too many that I've talked to. Dr. Mis so 
methodical, doesn't seem to be worried about death like the rest of 
us might. Seems a little out of touch if you ask me. On the other end, 
the main Security Personnel, Mike, he's an ass that cares a bit too 
much about his own skin. He usually gets bored and tries to chat me 
up during the day. | just kind of respond with a grunt cause | don't 
much like him." 


"What does he talk to you about? Well, at you about?" 


"What SCPs would be cool to take home. If SCP-whatever fought 
SCP-whatever, who would win. Last week he was asking me if any 
of our research revealed how best to up Spongy's meat. If it would 


be possible to get some tomatoes from SCP-504 to make an 
anomalous sandwich! Speak of the devil." 


You follow Clara's eyes to see a security personnel standing in the 
doorway. 


"Anyways, I'll get back to work unless you have anything else you 
need. Dr.M can give you access to Dr. F 's files if you need 
them."

There might be something more in the office. 


"The corrupted files could still help us get to the bottom of this." 
"Ah, uh, yeah. They would, but | can't give them to you." 


"As a member of the internal review committee, | have the 
authorization to access all related research and containment data 
related to SCP-3620. You need to give me those files." 


"Well, that's the tricky thing. | uh, | had to delete them." 


"So you're telling me the security footage for the containment area 
got corrupted and you went ahead and deleted it?" 


"Yes sir." 
"Even though that breaks protocol?" 


"I- Ah, | was afraid that whatever had affected Dan was on the 
footage, even though it was corrupted. Didn't- didn't want to risk it 
getting out and getting other killed, ya know? | don't want a broke 
chicken getting in my head and making me off myself!" 


Mike Probably Had The Right Idea - Click Tab 34 
He might have broke protocol, but he also might have saved lives. 


Protocol Is Protocol - Click Tab 32 


Mike has to be held responsible for his lapse in protocol. 


Accessing the security footage doesn't seem to be an issue and last 
night's entry looks just as expected. Dr. F leaves the containment 
area after locking up, everyone else had already headed out for the 
night, he goes to his office, next day he's found dead at his desk. 


But something Clara said urges you to keep looking. You go over 
the last few days, watching for anything of note, anything off. Your 
eyes start to blur over as you skim through hours and hours of 
footage, but you stay attentive. Finally, your work pays off! You 
almost didn't even catch it! 


The footage from last night had been copied from another night a 
few weeks back! Someone tried to cover it up, but there's no 
mistaking it. You make a few calls and the data scrubbers work their 
magic! 


Finish This Investigation - Click Tab 14 
Something smells here and the lost security footage should reveal it. 


Standing outside the containment area, you read through the whole 
file. Thankfully it's not a massive document with a dozen 
addendums and bizarre requirements in order to approach the thing. 
Still, a few researchers pass by you before you finish the file. 


Item #: SCP-3620 "Data Expunged the Chicken," Object Class: Safe 
(Pending current investigation), the thing is basically a chicken that's 
not there. Instead, it's, "a two-dimensional white plane featuring a 
pictograph and a series of curved lines hypothetized to be 
language." 


You stop a moment and try to picture this in your mind. 


"confirmed by genetic testing’ to be an approximately 5-year-old 
female domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus). Behavior and 
vocalizations are consistent with those of a chicken, as are the 
appearance of all tissue samples taken." 


So it's a chicken that failed to load. It clucks like a chicken, it weighs 


as much as a chicken, it lays eggs like a chicken. But unlike a 
chicken, it hasn't aged in the 35 years it's been here, it's physically 
invariant. You can cut all the legs and wings and breast meat you 
like and it'll still be clucking away with more to spare, and it looks 
like broken image link on Wikipedia. Got it. 


What do you want to do?

This SCP isn't sentient, the other researchers might know 
something. 


"Agent R , internal review committee, nice to meet you. Mike is 
it?" 


"Hey, the one and only. Well, there's another Mike on site but he's 
on another wing rotation. You're here about Dan then?" 


"Yes, anything you can tell me about last night or this week?" 


"Just that it's got me scared shitless! Dan the man, he was a very 
serious guy, kind of an ass, but eh, | won't speak ill of the deceased. 
Uh, just you know, this is what we always worry about on these 
"safe" SCPs. That they'll mess with you, mix with another SCP 
you've been exposed to." 


"Did the other personnel on SCP-3620 feel the same?" 


"Oh sure, yeah, we all talked about it, some maybe more than 
others. Me and Danny, we chatted about it a few times. 
Researchers, you know, they see a lot more than we do usually, 
though Dan was pretty new to all this. The D-Class, the ones that 
know about other SCPs, they're pretty freaked out about it too. They 
think it's a new property like it's growing maybe, you know?" 


"So you've always been concerned with cross testing and cross 
SCP contamination?" 


"Definitely, definitely. One of my biggest fears working here. Always 
makes me uneasy when the researchers talk about it. Dr. M going 
on about Spongy being an endless food supply, like there's no issue 
with it looking like some sort of weird computer glitch! If | had it my 
way, we'd just destroy the ones we could and lock the others up and 
throw away the keys. Be done with it."
