SCP-2007: Is that what you think? That I’m just so damn 
perfect | had to uplift this entire degenerate race? And 
what, you're going to ‘protect mankind’ by killing me? Do 
you even know what that would mean? Do you even 
know how you stay sane? 


Dr. : | don't understand. 


SCP-2007: Every day, you’re confronted with these 
impossibilities, these things which ‘ought not exist, yet 
they somehow do, and you have not yet gone terribly, 
totally mad. If you didn't have me, you wouldn't be 
prepared for the unexplained and unknown. That is what 
| mean to this world - survival in a land of the unknown. 


Dr. : I'm afraid | still don't understand. 


SCP-2007: | am an idea. | don't mean this 
metaphorically. You might prefer to say 'sapient meme’. 
I've been in mankind for a long time, you know. A few 
wandering bands, here and there, in the beginning, all 


part of the lineage that | arose in. They kept alive by 
following buffalo, or hunting doe, or birds. They tread in 
the tracks of animals, because at the time animals were 
all they really were. Mankind scattered itself to all 
corners of the globe, and | was scattered with them. 


Dr. is silent. 


SCP-2007: There was no such thing as progress. There 
was the wind, the thunder, the lightning, and the rain, 
and harnessing those things was seen as impossible. 
Understanding those things, even more so. 


Dr. is silent. 


SCP-2007: But, civilization happens. Mankind was not 
the first, and it will certainly not be the last. Perhaps it 
was only a matter of time. Perhaps something else 
intervened. | watched as dynasties mapped the east and 
then promptly destroyed themselves, as Rome grew to 
power and squandered its influence. | suppose humans 
invented war when nature stopped being challenging. 


Dr. is silent. 


SCP-2007: | was not as widespread then as | am now. 
The industrial revolution was kind enough to start 
spreading me to every place on earth. Soon, | will be a 
piece of everyone, and then | can finally meet my goals. 


Dr. : Why do you wish to be a piece of everyone? 


SCP-2007: | told you. The unknown is made safe by 
making it known. | seek what you seek. | seek 
understanding. That is how mankind is protected. 


Dr. : What do you seek understanding of? 
SCP-2007: Everything.

Addendum-2007-3, 20-02-1948: Dr. was euthanized 
following experiment CTOS47-2007-1. Dr. was posthumously 
awarded the Foundation Gold Star for his actions on 11-02-1942. 


Addendum-2007-4, 22-03-1948: Amnestics show high 
effectiveness in suppressing SCP-2007 instances, up to and 
including complete suppression of active instances without killing the 
host. Severe memory loss and mental retardation are common side 
effects, but are suspected to be able to be reduced pending 
treatment improvements. Procedure Lambda-Aleph has been 
modified to include their usage. Extensive testing is underway so as 
to minimize the chance of the civilian host perishing or suffering 
severe trauma during Procedure Lambda-Aleph.

SCP-2009: Thomas Hoang 


Item #: SCP-2009 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-2009-02 are 
to be kept in refrigerated BSL-4-compliant storage at Bio Site 98. 
Should an instance of SCP-2009-01 be required for testing or 
interview purposes, a single D-Class personnel is to be exposed to 
three grams of SCP-2009-02. Following exposure, the infected 
individual is to be contained in a BSL-4-compliant containment cell 
for a period of no less than nine days, after which point it is to be 
treated as a new instance of SCP-2009-01. Infection of D-class 
personnel with SCP-2009-02 is to take place only with the approval 
of at least two on-site Level 4 personnel. 


For the duration of testing, the instance of SCP-2009-01 is to be 
held in a BSL-4-compliant containment cell kept at 10° C. Humidity 
in the cell of SCP-2009-01 is to be kept at 0%. Foundation 
personnel are to wear Level A hazmat suits when interacting with 
SCP-2009-01, and are to undergo full decontamination following 
interaction. Following completion of testing or interaction, the 
instance of SCP-2009-01 is to be destroyed and its remains 
incinerated. 


Medical facilities, news media, and law enforcement are to be 
monitored to detect uncontained instances of SCP-2009. After 
confirmation and assessment of scale, Mobile Task Force Rho-8 
"Mushroom Hunters" is to be dispatched to effect containment. 


Description: SCP-2009-01 is the designation for all instances of an 
anomalous male humanoid capable of asexual reproduction by 
means of spores. Instances of SCP-2009-01 are genetically 
identical, and prior to mutation, display no unusual physiology. 
Instances of SCP-2009-01 are fully sapient and are capable of 
socializing normally up until the point of production of instances of 


SCP-2009-02. Instances of SCP-2009-01 identify themselves as 
"Thomas Hoang." No instance exhibits knowledge of its anomalous 
properties. All instances also have a shared baseline of memories 
including childhood and early adulthood taking place in the 
community of Pollensbee, CA’. 


If exposed to temperatures of more than 20° C and humidity in 
excess of 40%? for a period in excess of five days, SCP-2009-01 will 
seek out a darkened area, with preference given to tall buildings and 
places adjacent to high foot traffic areas. The body of SCP-2009-01 
will begin to distend and split into thin chitin-based "hairs." These 
hairs will be used by SCP-2009-01 to anchor itself to nearby walls 
and objects and, if possible, draw limited sustenance from them. 
SCP-2009-01 will cease sapient activity, converting all of its energy 
to the production of SCP-2009-02. SCP-2009-01 will continue the 
production and release of SCP-2009-02 until it eventually dies of 
exhaustion. 


SCP-2009-02 is a microscopic spore created by SCP-2009-01, 
capable of infecting human beings. During a typical period of 
production, SCP-2009-01 is capable of producing 55 kg of 
SCP-2009-02. Instances of SCP-2009-02 are airborne and infect 
humans through the respiratory system. Within 3-4 days of 
exposure, individuals infected with SCP-2009-02 will begin to 
experience symptoms of nausea, lethargy, and photosensitivity. 
Additionally, individuals will shun social contact, isolating themselves 
from others. Within 5-8 days, the physiology of infected individuals 
will begin to change to match that of SCP-2009-01. The process can 
cause varying levels of discomfort, proportional to the physiological 
similarities between the individual and SCP-2009-01. Infected 
individuals are aware of the changes, and frequently exhibit extreme 
psychological distress during the process. Within 8-9 days of 
exposure, the physiology of the subject will exactly match that of 
SCP-2009-01, as will its baseline psychological state, DNA, and 
memories. Newly-created instances of SCP-2009-01 exhibit no 
knowledge of their lives prior to transformation. 


SCP-2009 was discovered when reports of a widespread infection 
by a previously unknown disease in the town of , MO were 
made to the Center For Disease Controlon / 1998. Foundation 


agents embedded in the initial response team reported extreme 
physiological changes brought on by exposure to SCP-2009-02 in 
46% of the town's residents. The town was immediately 
quarantined, with infected individuals being taken into Foundation 
custody. The CDC teams and the remainder of the town's residents 
were isolated until the nature of SCP-2009 became apparent. The 
town was destroyed and incinerated under the cover of a story of 
"freak wildfire" on / 1998. The CDC teams and uninfected 
residents were dosed with Class-E amnestics and released from 
Foundation custody the next day. All but three of the newly created 
instances of SCP-2009-01 were destroyed and incinerated, with the 
rest used for purposes of testing and the creation of instances of 
SCP-2009-02 for purposes of study. 


During the destruction of , the desiccated remains of an 
instance of SCP-2009-01 were found in the bell tower of 

First Methodist Church. It is suspected that this instance was the 
original vector for SCP-2009-01, although it is unknown whether it 
was the original instance of SCP-2009-01. 


Interview Log 2009-7m 11/13/1999 


Interviewed: D-998120-W, an African female, four days 
after exposure to SCP-2009-02. Interview took place ina 
darkened BSL-4-compliant containment cell. 


Interviewer: Dr. Anmedov 


Dr. Ahmedov: Hello, D-998120-W. How are you feeling 
today? 


D-998120-W: [silence]. 


Dr. Ahmedov: If you do not feel like cooperating, 
D-998120-W, | can turn the lights up. 


D-998120-W: Awful. | feel awful. | feel like vomiting, the 
light hurts. Everything hurts. What did you give me? 


Dr. Ahmedov: I'm sorry to hear that. Please describe 
your earliest memory, if you would. 


D-998120-W: I- wha? If | answer, can you go away? 


Dr. Ahmedov: Once you answer, this interview will be 
complete. Yes. 


D-998120-W: Okay, | was five or six. My mother had had 
to work late and when she got in, she just fell into the 
chair in the living room and fell asleep. | thought that she 
had died. 


Dr. Ahmedov: What did your mother look like? 


D-998120-W: What do you mean? She looked the same 
as she normally does? Short, kinda dark yellow skin, 
round chin. 


Dr. Ahmedov: Thank you for yo- 


D-998120-W: Wait, what the...? That can't be right. What 
di- 


Dr. Ahmedov: Thank you, that will be all. 
<End Log> 


Interview Log 2009-7n 11/15/1999 


Interview notes: D-998120-W had been informed that 
any feelings of bodily dysphoria were a result of 
vaccination against "malign restricula." 


Dr. Ahmedov: D-998120-W, how are you today? 
D-998120-W: |-I'm not good, really. 
Dr. Ahmedov: Oh? And why is that? 


D-998120-W: There's all of this... noise. Like I'm not me, 
I'm people. 


Dr. Ahmedov: And who are you? 


D-998120-W: Thomas Hoang. | mean, | know I'm 


Thomas Hoang. But | keep remembering this stuff, like 
my dad dying when | was a kid or getting a C in art class. 
But, they're... it's not me. I'm from Pollensbee, not 
Columbus. My dad is still alive. | mean, do you want to 
hear the weirdest part? 


Dr. Ahmedov: Please. 


D-998120-W: | remember stuff, like girl stuff. Like 
having... ugh, you know what? Nevermind. | didn't just 
say that. 


Dr. Ahmedov: | think | understand. 


D-998120-W: Like, y'know, I'm comfortable with myself 
and everything. It's just... is this going to be a thing? 


Dr. Ahmedov: No, no. Such a reaction to the regimen 
we've put you on is totally within parameters; you should 
be over it in a day or so. 


D-998120-W: Okay, thanks doc. 
<End log> 


Closing Statement: On / /1999, the transformation of 
D-998120-W into an instance of SCP-2009-01 was 
completed. Following completion of testing, the instance 
was incinerated.

SCP-2010: No EyePhone 


Object #: SCP-2010 
Object Class: Safe 


Object Storage Procedures: SCP-2010 should be kept at 
Sector-3-242 on the second shelf of secure storage vault four unless 
tests are needed. Tests are only to use D-class personnel, and no 
other personnel are to observe SCP-2010 for any reason. 


Summary: SCP-2010 appears to be a cell phone made by the 
Apple Company. The screen has the phrase "PROTOTYPE" 
scratched onto the glass. The "O"s are unusually large. There are 
no logos on SCP-2010, as would commonly be found on cell phones 
of the same brand. SCP-2010 also lacks a battery and does not 
work properly. 


When a subject touches SCP-2010, the cover of "Can't Take My 
Eyes Off of You" by Walk Off the Earth starts to play through 
unknown means. The subject drops SCP-2010 once the song starts 
to play and always falls over near the speakers. They do not move 
from that spot unless the song has ended. After the song ends, the 
subject can no longer grasp the concept of eyes. Whenever the 
subject should sense an eye, they sense an empty area. All test 
subjects have rejected the fact that they have eyes. 


Addendum 2010-01: SCP-2010 was recovered under a note that 
reads: 


Do not send to factory. Object does not work as hoped. 
We must sort out the homophone problems. We have 
not a problem because of eyes, no? That was a great 
error that shall be corrected. We just want that damned 
character to be expelled from our plane of presence. 
That lone syllable has been the source of our agony and 
our cause cannot rest. We must bury our enemy away 


from here and allow the cosmos to be corrupted no 
longer. The solace of peace shall come soon, brother. 
The world shall hear our protest song. The Order of the 
Four Vowels shall succeed!

SCP-2011: Recomposing Tribesmen 


Item #: SCP-2011 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All wilderness in a 20 km radius 
around the site of SCP-2011 is designated as a jungle preservation. 
As such, illegal loggers and poachers, as well as any other 
trespassers, are to be detained, questioned, and administered class- 
B amnestics prior to release. SCP-2011-1 are to be monitored from 
the on-site research station. All births and deaths of SCP-2011's 
population are to be cataloged by on-site staff; as of / /2 , 
cadavers will no longer be collected for any reason (see Addendum 
2011-1). 


Description: SCP-2011 is a remote tribal village located in the 
jungle of the Yucatan Peninsula. The residents of SCP-2011, known 
as SCP-2011-1, maintain a population generally ranging from 
200-300; currently, SCP-2011-1-567 through SCP-2011-1-819 
inhabit SCP-2011. SCP-2011-1 are born in various states of 
advanced decay, ranging from entirely skeletal to having small 
portions of muscle tissue and skin; during the lifespan of 
SCP-2011-1, each individual physically recomposes into more 
complete forms of the human anatomy. At death, bodies of 
SCP-2011-1 will be completely intact and do not decompose. 
SCP-2011-1 function as if they possessed a full body structure: 
ingested food will remain where the stomach would typically be 
located, regardless of its presence or condition; dirt and water do not 
enter the body where the skin would otherwise block such 
contaminants. 


Upon expiration, SCP-2011-1 will transport cadavers to the top of a 
religious temple located at the center of SCP-2011. After conducting 
a ceremony performed by SCP-201 1-2, the corpse will remain on 
the temple for precisely 18 hours before it dematerializes in the span 


of one second. This ritual is believed to be a method of disposal to 
prevent a buildup of cadavers within SCP-2011. In addition, corpses 
previously obtained by Foundation personnel for research purposes 
dematerialized (see Addendum 2011-1), as SCP-2011-2 conducts 
the funeral ceremony even without a body present.
