SCP-1577-2 travels over the location from which SCP-1577-1 was 
fired, and performs an airdrop consisting of one supply crate 
equipped with a parachute. After performing the airdrop, 
SCP-1577-2 continues west before vanishing sixty kilometers from 
the flare point. Given its speed, SCP-1577-2 is only detectable for 
approximately ten minutes. 


The crate dropped by SCP-1577-2 measures 1m x 1m x 1m, and is 
composed primarily of wood, with several iron nails holding the crate 
together. Analysis of the crate and its parachute have revealed no 
anomalous properties. The surface of the crate contains stamping 
indicating what the crate contains, and in what amount. The supply 
crate is rarely filled to capacity. Supplies differ with every instance, 
but take the form of objects apparently intended for military use. 
Invariably, the contents of the crate display unexpected properties 
that inhibit their utility, or are outright dangerous. See testing log for 
further details. 


+ SCP-1577-Testing Log 


Stated Contents: One hundred (100) "B-Menu" MRE. 
Description: Meals Ready to Eat containing sausage, 
mashed potatoes, beans, and a bar of chocolate. One 
was opened, and the contents were determined to be 
uncooked. Labeling indicated that the MRE are cooked 
using water-activated chemical heating, similar to 
modern ones. 

Additional Notes: The chemical heating process 
consistently burns at too high a temperature, and results 
in burnt, inedible food, and on one occasion, a minor 
chemical fire. 


Stated Contents: One hundred (100) bottles of water 
purification tablets, fifty (50) tablets each 

Description: Tablets appear identical in composition to 
modern instances. 

Additional Notes: Water treated with these tablets 
found to contain a high concentration of salt. Entirely 
unfit for human consumption. 


Stated Contents: Thirty (30) "Cold Night" Raincoats 

Description: Poncho-style raincoat, with hood, made 
from nylon. 

Additional Notes: Unexpectedly porous, and did not 
adequately keep wearers dry or warm. 


Stated Contents: Ten (10) "Lanchester-Special" 
submachine guns, Fifty (50) box magazines of 7.62 mm 
ammunition, each containing 32 rounds. 

Description: Similar to Lanchester submachine guns 
used by the R.A.F during World War II, except 
chambered for modern 7.62x51 mm rounds. The original 
design for this weapon was exclusively chambered for 
9x19 mm Parabellum ammunition. 

Additional Notes: Due to insufficiently reinforced 
components suitable for the increased chamber 
pressures produced by the ammunition, the weapons 
displayed a tendency for stoppages, malfunctions, and 
catastrophic failures. 


Stated Contents: Fifty (50) Water Canteens 
Description: Capable of holding one and a half quarts of 
water. Containers found to be a poor insulator, and are 
prone to leaking. 

Additional Notes: A handwritten note was found stapled 
to the side of acrate, reading "Frequency . mdHz. Call 
sign Icarus' Wing. You will make contact." See 
SCP-1577-2 Radio Contact Log for report.

Dr. Lionel : lcarus' Wing, come in Icarus' 
Wing, this is Skipping Stone 23, please identify 
yourself. 


Icarus’ Wing: Ah, hello and pip pip, chap! You 
must be the one who is incessantly requesting 
supplies. It is jolly good to hear from you, old 
fruit. 


Dr. Lionel : You will identify yourself 
immediately or you will be forced to land. 


Icarus’ Wing: | am only being lower-class 
cheeky impertinent, old fruit. | am Royal Air 
Force Sergeant Norwood , service number 

. Can you identify yourself in reciprocity, 
governor old chap? 


Dr. Lionel : Not with as much detail, that's 
classified. You can just call me Doctor Lionel. 


Icarus' Wing: You can just call me Norwood, 
Doctor Lionel. Rank and service number are 
just details. Why do you request so many 
supplies? | do not often visit the same location 
more than once, old bean. 


Dr. Lionel : We were trying to figure out 
the process. How this works. 


Icarus’ Wing: 'How this works'? Doctor Lionel, 
you fire the flare, | bring in the supplies, | drop 
them. That is how my missions always work. 
What else do you try to figure out, old chap? 


Dr. Lionel : How long have you been 
delivering supplies, Sergeant? 


Icarus' Wing: You can just call me Norwood, 
Doctor Lionel. Rank and service number are 
just details. How long is irrelevant. A flare is 
fired, and | answer, old chap. | have delivered 
supplies for many. 


Dr. Lionel : Sergeant, things don't appear 
that simple on our end. Are you aware of any 
anomalous properties of your aircraft? 


Icarus’ Wing: No. There is nothing unusual, 
governor. 


Dr. Lionel : What about your cargo? Can 
you tell me about it? 


Icarus' Wing: No. There is nothing unusual, 
governor. 


Dr. Lionel : Did you know that Norwood 
was killed in action on June , 194 ? 


Icarus’ Wing: Yes. 
Dr. Lionel : Then who are you? 


Icarus’ Wing: You can just call me Norwood, 
Doctor Lionel. 


Dr. Lionel : You've dropped some 
intriguing supplies, Sergeant. Will you tell me 
where they come from? Where do you land to 
load and refuel your plane? 


Icarus' Wing: No. That is classified 
information, chap. 


Dr. Lionel : Consider it a personal favor. 


Icarus' Wing: No. That is classified 
information, chap. Pip pip, jolly right. 


Dr. Lionel : In that case, can you tell me 
why all of your delivered supplies are flawed 
and useless? 


Icarus' Wing: Because you do not need the 
delivered supplies, Doctor Lionel. My superiors 
have determined that you do not require 
emergency supplies of functional utilitarian 
quality, Doctor Lionel. Governor, old fruit. 


Dr. Lionel : And who would these 
‘superiors' be? 


Icarus’ Wing: That is classified information, 
chap. Pip pip, jolly right. Blimey. 


Dr. Lionel : I'm sorry to hear that. Our 
instruments show that you're reaching your 
exit point. 


Icarus' Wing: | am. It is quite cold. | cannot 
stop you from using the signal device, Doctor 
Lionel chap old bean. | politely ask, as one

SCP-1578: Standers 


Item #: SCP-1578 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Articles of clothing involved in 
SCP-1578 manifestations can be easily neutralized with physical 
contact and may continue to be worn after neutralization. Minor 
SCP-1578 sighting by individuals or small groups are to be 
dismissed as pranks, hallucinations, or supernatural phenomena 
such as ghosts (a full list of cover stories is available in Document 
1578-B). SCP-1578 appearances in public areas are to be handled 
on a case-by-case basis, with local field operatives intervening when 
necessary. 


Description: SCP-1578 refers to the spontaneous manifestation of 
articles of clothing in a state of unsupported mid air suspension. 
SCP-1578 typically manifest in sets including (but not limited to) 
shoes, pants, gloves, hats, upper body wear, and undergarments. 
Although completely unsupported, articles of clothing give the 
appearance of concealing a solid humanoid structure underneath. 
Hats, scarves, and masks are also commonly integrated into 
instances, concealing the lack of a head. SCP-1578 instances are 
inanimate and will cease suspension when force is applied, thereby 
neutralizing its anomalous properties. 


Reports of SCP-1578 activity has been dated back to the late 12th 
Century. Foundation statisticians have estimated between 500 and 
700 SCP-1578 instances manifest worldwide every year. Articles of 
clothing present in SCP-1578 instances originate from the wardrobe 
of a different individual with every manifestation. The original owners 
of the clothing often report the outfit being a favorite of theirs and 
worn frequently prior to becoming an instance of SCP-1578. 


SCP-1578 are usually posed in a natural standing position, with only 
12% of instances found in active poses such as running or dancing. 


Instances appear in locations frequented by the original owner of the 
clothes integrated into the manifestation, most often appearing in the 
owner's place of living. Although many instances have appeared in 
public areas, no person has ever claimed to have seen a 
manifestation in progress. 


Addendum: On 05/16/ , Health & Safety Councilwoman Dr. Macy 
Burchard upgraded the object class of SCP-1578 from Safe to 
Euclid. 


Hello, 


In the past few years we have seen a drastic increase in 
the number of reports of Foundation staff members 
encountering SCP-1578 instances of their clothing and 
the clothes of their coworkers. Even more disturbingly, 
there have been unconfirmed reports of SCP-1578 
instances displaying mobility and the ability to ambulate, 
mimicking daily tasks performed by Foundation 
personnel. This increase in anomalous activity seems to 
be limited to Foundation communities and specifically 
affects the clothing of individuals who are in close 
proximity to anomalies on a regular basis. 


A team of researchers with experience in psychometric 
anomalies is currently leading an investigation into these 
recent changes in SCP-1578's behavior. Until we can 
better understand these events, SCP-1578 has been 
upgraded to Euclid class. Furthermore, Foundation 
employees who come in close or direct contact with 
other anomalies will be expected to incinerate all articles 
of clothing after six months of wear. 


We apologize for the inconvenience this will inevitably 
cause many of you, and we greatly appreciate your 
continued dedication to keeping our workplaces as safe 
as possible.

SCP-1579: Different Skin 


Item #: SCP-1579 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1579 is currently kept ina 
sterile environment in Chamber B at Secure Storage Warehouse 3 
at Bio-Site 66. Separated fragments are kept in Storage Locker 1 in 
Chamber B, under double combination lock. Personnel are not to 
make contact with SCP-1579 except for testing purposes. 


Description: SCP-1579 is an aged, partially-damaged totem pole, 
carved from cedar and standing approximately 3.4 metres tall. 
SCP-1579 does not seem to rot, and shows an above-average 
resistance to heat for an object constructed from cedar. Additionally, 
a majority of its surface is covered with bright green moss, which 
does not seem to diminish when removed from humidity or affect the 
integrity of SCP-1579. Barring these particular structural anomalies, 
SCP-1579 is still wholly destructible, and chips have been removed 
through testing. Fragments continue to carry the artifact’s 
anomalous effects. 


When physically touched by a human being, SCP-1579 will shudder 
slightly, motivated by an unknown force. Following this, the human 
who touched SCP-1579 will immediately begin to feel a moderate 
burning sensation emanate from the point that they touched the 
artifact. Subjects have reported it feel like “a very bad sunburn’, 
though the discomfort subsides immediately once the entire body 
has been affected. 


Immediately after the burning sensation ends, the subject’s skin will 
rapidly (~3 minutes) take on a paper-like texture and entirely peel 
away, revealing a new skin underneath. The new skin will invariably 
have features similar to, and containing the DNA of, one of the 
following non-human animal species native to Pacific Canada. It 
should be noted that several of these animals do not actually feature 


on SCP-1579. 


Those affected by SCP-1579 acquire one of the following sets of 
features: 


¢ Those of Corvus corax, or the common raven: Subject will 
bear feathering across torso, arms, and upper legs; legs 
below the knee become yellowed and scaly, with toenails 
becoming pointed and blackened. Feathers will grow across 
the face, growing outwards from the subject’s nose and 
mouth; a beak does not form during the subject’s 
transformation. Flight feathers grow back against the forearm, 
and cannot be spread out as a wing; tail feathers grow 
downwards from the base of the spine. All feathers are the 
same approximate size as that of a fully grown raven, 
multiplied in number to cover the subject's body. Additionally, 
all feathers recovered from test subjects have proven to 
contain identical DNA matches to a particular male bird. 


¢ Those of Ursus arctos horribilis, or the grizzly bear: Subject’s 
body is covered with brown fur approximately 4 inches long. 
Additionally, their lips and skin will turn black, with the nose 
becoming constantly moist. Claws are present, though 
markedly smaller than that of an ordinary grizzly bear. All DNA 
samples have proven to match that of a particular male grizzly 
bear. 


¢ Those of Canis /atrans, or the coyote: Subject will grow 
layered fur like that of an ordinary coyote; additionally, the 
cartilage in their ears will slough out and be replaced with new 
cartilage, in a similar shape to that of a coyote. The subject's 
skin will turn black, and their nose will become moist to the 
touch. Nails are replaced with black canine nails. All DNA 
samples match that of a particular male coyote. 


¢ Those of Pseudacris regilla, or the Pacific tree frog: Subject’s 
skin will become hairless, with a green hue with brown 
markings, rapidly drying out when outside a humid 
environment. Skin is also quite thin; subjects’ eyeballs are 
visible through translucent eyelids. Subjects still require air to 
breathe; testing has shown that surface area is not sufficient 


to allow for proper permeation of oxygen in human-sized 
subjects. All DNA samples have proven to match a particular 
male frog. 


The specific transformation induced will cycle in the order listed 
above, regardless whether a new subject activates SCP-1579 or it is 
a repeated activation by the same subject. If a subject is exposed to 
SCP-1579 again after a transformation, the second or third shifts will 
become markedly more painful, with the outer layer of skin failing to 
‘dry out’ and bleeding. Excessive bodily trauma and blood loss have 
been observed in subjects attempting a third or fourth exposure, with 
subjects normally dying of shock midway through the fourth shift. 


Acquisition: SCP-1579 was brought to attention when discovered 
by an elementary school group hiking through a public path. Their 
supervising teacher was apparently explaining basic history of totem 
poles in Native American culture when she touched SCP-1579's 
side and instigated its effect; according to witnesses, she fell into the 
artifact in a panic and repeatedly activated its effect, soon dying of 
blood loss. Class B amnesiacs were administered to the remaining 
teacher and students, with the initial activator's disappearance 
attributed to a local serial killer. 


SCP-1579 did not feature on the path previous to this initial 
encounter.

SCP-1580: Recycling Leaves 


Item #: SCP-1580 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1580 is currently held in 
the Site-30 terrarium, within a 7 by 7 meter lot. Instances of 
SCP-1580-1 are to be constantly monitored for alterations in 
behavior or vocalizations. Attempted communication with sapient 
instances of SCP-1580 is currently prohibited.
