Dutchman Events: A Dutchman event refers to 
SCP-2892 entering an actively hostile state. To date, this 
has been observed to be caused in all cases by any 
attempts to hail, signal or otherwise communicate with 
SCP-2892 by other craft. Craft often inadvertantly open 
communications with SCP-2892 as a result of distress 
signals sent from its latent weather effects. 


Communication attempts with SCP-2892 are met with a 
response, however it remains unclear if SCP-2892 is 
truly sapient or sentient (see Experiment log 2892-01 for 
further details). It remains a matter of inquiry; exploring 
this possibility is a top priority if and when active 
experimentation resumes. 


When SCP-2892 is hailed, the following occurs: 


1. Weather will immediately begin to escalate to a 
Force 12 on the Beaufort scale. 


2. SCP-2892 will begin to immediately move towards 
the hailing craft at flank speed; and begin to emit a 
dull red aura of light from midships. 

3. SCP-2892 will begin to issue highly distorted radio 
messages towards its target craft. 

4. SCP-2892 will, when within range, engage its 
target craft will all possible weaponry, usually 
resulting in total loss of life. The nonstop stream of 
radio communication does not abate during this 
period. 


1. Rarely, SCP-2892 has been observed to not 
engage but rather intercept its target craft. 
Upon coming abreast of which, it will [DATA 
EXPUNGEDJS. SCP-2892 and its target craft 
will thereafter de-manifest in a blinding flash. 
In all recorded instances, search and rescue 
has failed to recover cadavers, flotsam or 
any physical remnant of the event. 
Investigations into what precisely occurs 
during a [DATA EXPUNGED] event are on- 
going. 


Communications from SCP-2892 are most often in 
frantic Dutch. Translations of audible speech are a 
usually a mix of generic combat communications or 
messages as if from an on-going surface action. In 
recorded circumstances, communications from 
SCP-2892 have been directed to individual crew 
members on its target craft, are in said crew member's 
language of habitual use, and are often identified as 
being lamentations and warnings from deceased family.

Incident Log 2892-07: 
Excerpt from Frigate Captain 's AAR: 


On //2017 during the on-going monitoring of 
SCP-2892 in an active state, the SCPNS 


Audacious detected a medium sized 
commercial craft (later identified as the - 
a long-suspected Pirate 'mother ship’) sailing 
towards SCP-2892's area of influence. 
Standard containment protocol was initiated. 
The craft ignored the hail and immediately 
adjusted course to avoid the Audacious. The 
craft's course correction put it on an azimuth 
that still threatened breach of containment and 
a move to intercept began. 


Visual contact was established ten minutes 
after the initial attempt to hail the vessel. The 
craft once more ignored attempts to hail it and 
attempted to continue its evasive action. 
Warning shots from on-deck machine guns 
and the 76mm were also ignored. The decision 
to conduct a boarding action by fast-craft was 
made. At this point in time the pursuit had 
taken both ships well into SCP-2892's area of 
effect and constituted a low-level containment 
breach. Weather conditions were rated at a 6 
on the Beaufort scale at that time and were 
noted to be deteriorating further. 


Upon approaching the fleeing craft, members 
of MTF Gamma-6 were suddenly taken under 
intense small arms fire from the crew. In the 
ensuing action Agents and were 
critically wounded. Due to the weather 
conditions rapidly surpassing an 8 on the 
Beaufort scale and making extraction by fast- 
craft a dubious prospect, as well as concern 
for the multiple casualties, the decision was 
made to attempt to commandeer the craft and 
guide it back to port. 


SCP-2892 was spotted on radar approaching 
both craft's positions at flank speed (despite 
the weather, maintaining a steady 32 knots) 


and the Audacious was forced to move to 
engage with all weapons systems to protect 
elements of Gamma-6 still aboard the 

Despite crippling damage from ship-to-ship 
missiles SCP-2892 continued its attack run 
before finally being dissipated by repeated fire 
from the Audacious's direct-fire weaponry. At 
this point weather conditions rapidly returned 
to a 2 on the Beaufort scale. Throughout the 
engagement, SCP-2892 was broadcasting, as 
if it were a Dutchman event. 


This is the first recorded instance of SCP-2892 
unilaterally initiating a Dutchman event. It is also the first 
time in which it has not shown its usual evasiveness 
when engaged. This report has been submitted to 
administration for review, along with a request for 
additional resources.

SCP-2893: A Bubble In Time 


Item#: SCP-2893 
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized! 
Special Containment Procedures: 
+ 12/25/1945 Former Containment Procedures 


Any information regarding SCP-2893, SCP-2893-A 
instances, or the phenomenon surrounding either of 
these entities is to be destroyed. Any aircraft entering the 
vicinity of Site-2893 are to be warned that the location 
they are entering is owned by the French government, 
with MTF-Beta-99 ("Let 'em Fly Boys") correcting their 
course away from the facility. If any aircraft refuses to 
comply, MTF-Beta-99 is authorized to engage the craft. 


No Foundation personnel are allowed inside of 
SCP-2893 without the approval of Site-2893's Director. 
Personnel entering SCP-2893 are to be armed with 
standard Foundation military weaponry. Foundation 
personnel are to never interact with instances without at 
least three other armed personnel accompanying them. 
SCP-2893-A instances are to not be provided 
information about the outside world. 


If SCP-2893-A instances are found nearing the border of 
SCP-2893, MTF-Beta-22 ("The Whistleblowers") is to 
terminate them. This interaction is to be recorded in the 
research log below. 


Current Containment Procedures 


SCP-2893-A instances are to be kept in standard humanoid 


containment cells on Site-2893. They are considered non- 
anomalous humanoids, and are to be treated as such. SCP-2893-A 
instances are to be given individualized psychiatric care by 
Foundation psychologists, who are to be available at all times. In 
order to maintain the mental health and cooperation with SCP-2893- 
A instances, psychologists are to avoid mentioning any of the 
following: 


¢ The conflict of World War | 

¢ Any information pertaining to the individual instance's history, 
family, or memories. 

¢ the SCP-2893 phenomenon and 

¢ the instances' current state of affairs subsequent to the 
destruction of SCP-2893. 


Any information regarding SCP-2893 and the effects of its 
destruction are to be suppressed whenever possible to the public at 
large. 


Description: SCP-2893 is the official designation of an anomalous 
phenomenon affecting southern France, near the village of 
[REDACTED]. SCP-2893 manifests itself as a translucent sphere 
encompassing a radius of 25km. Non-SCP-2893-A instances are 
capable of entering SCP-2893 with no difficulty. Individuals found 
inside of SCP-2893 during its formation in 1917 (SCP-2893-A) have 
been found incapable of leaving SCP-2893. This also extends to any 
objects that were inside of SCP-2893 prior to its formation, including 
weaponry, fortifications, or other organisms inside of SCP-2893 
other than SCP-2893-A instances. 


SCP-2893-A instances are non-anomalous humans who have been 
found inside of SCP-2893 during its formation. Instances wear attire 
consistent with both the French Armed Forces, British Armed 
Forces, and the Imperial German Army issued during the First World 
War, specifically the 87th infantry Unit and 243rd Infantry Unit. 
Instances are armed with WW1-era non-anomalous weaponry , and 
often engage in combat with one another. (See Research log) 
Currently, there are over 1000 SCP-2893-A instances in SCP-2893. 


The anomalous effects of SCP-2893 become evident after a full 24- 
hour rotation. When a full rotation occurs, all organisms, objects, 


and events that have occurred or are contained within SCP-2893 
return to their original state prior to the reset. This includes 
deceased individuals inside of SCP-2893. This also seems to apply 
to the memories of SCP-2893-A instances, of which they report of 
having no memory of the events prior to the ‘reset’. This ability has 
seemed to have diminished since the formation of SCP-2893. Many 
SCP-2893-A instances report of having brief, vivid recollections that 
correspond to events prior to the 'reset’. 


As more and more resets occur, subsequent resets cause 
SCP-2893-A instances to behave disparately from their original 
series of events. 


The behavior of SCP-2893-A instances have been observed to 
deviate significantly from the original events of the battle. In the 
battle, the British and French forces forced the German battalion to 
retreat after having sustained heavy casualties. For more 
information on these alterations, see Research Log. This has been 
hypothesized to be the result of the deterioration of SCP-2893's 
ability to 'reset' the events of the previous day, and the ability to 
erase the memory of SCP-2893-A instances. 


SCP-2893 was originally discovered in 1918 when the French 
government responded to a possible invasion by the Imperial 
German Army. Following the discovery of its anomalous effects, 
SCP-2893 was guarded by the paracontainment wing of the French 
Armed Forces until the Second World War, where it was placed into 
the control of the Annenerbe Obskurakorps2 from 1940 to 1944. 


Research Log 


4-12-1920 — French and British forces overwhelm German 
fortifications. Minimal deviation from original timeline. 


6-22-1929 — British and French soldiers are seen becoming more 
and more agitated with one another. One soldier threatens to attack 
the Commander of the troops, but is shot before this could occur. 
Battle continues as normal.

(SCP-2893-A-11) kills him, naming himself the new commander. 
Battle ends with the entire German force killed. 


7-4-1930 — SCP-2893-A-11 becomes commander after the 
commander was killed by a stray bullet while on an early morning 
walk. Battle proceeds as normal. German commanders are hanged 
outside of camp.

instances. Are assimilated into its ranks. 


9-23-1930 — SCP-2893-A instances attempt to build a large fire 
inside of the forest. Instances lose control and the fire spreads 
throughout the rest of internal area of SCP-2893. Instances all die 
from asphyxiation or suffer immolation 


11-15-1930 — SCP-2893-A instances again attempt to build a fire. 
Unlike previous iteration, however, instances are able to control the 
fire. French forces break up instances and destroy the fire. 


5-13-1940 — SCP-2893-A instances begin to fire their artillery 
cannons in random directions. Currently believed that SCP-2893-A 
instances were attempting to breach SCP-2893. Officially comes 
under the control of the Annenerbe Obskurakorps. 


12-17-1940 — The Obskurakorps attempt to converse with 
SCP-2893-A instances, specifically SCP-2893-A-11, who had 
become the de facto leader of all SCP-2893-A_ instances. 
Obskurakorps attempt to bribe SCP-2893-A-11 with the promise of 
SCP-2893 being destroyed. SCP-2893-A-11, according to recovered 


unable to proceed further. Agent Erin attempted to halt Agent 
Strahm's progress, but succeeded only in knocking him to the 
ground, at which point Strahm quickly accelerated towards the front 
of the train, sliding on his stomach. Fingernail marks were later 
found in the carpet, where he had clawed at the ground in an 
attempt to halt his progress. Agent Strahm passed through the 
closed conductor's compartment door and into the conductor's 
compartment, where he immediately began to cry out in terror. 


Agent Erin stated, at this point, that he drew his service revolver and 
attempted a benevolent termination of Agent Strahm, but was 
unable to do so through the reinforced glass of the conductor's 
compartment door. His last reported observation of Agent Strahm 
states that he saw "a creature, kind of like an enormous spider, but 
wearing a conductor's hat, looking up from the levers, wrapping 
Jerry in a web, like a cocoon, and then throwing him through the 
window, like it was air." The creature then turned towards Agent Erin 
and ordered him to exit the train, at which point Agent Erin lost 
consciousness from terror. He was later found huddled at the back 
of the train car with an empty weapon, continuing to pull the trigger 
on an empty cylinder over and over until the weapon was 
confiscated from him by personnel. 


Addendum 342 F: Doctor Gunsther's Supplemental Report: We 
set up several situations to try and discover the controls, 
parameters, and triggers of SCP-342. First, we used a company bus 
and a driver that worked for our organization, and had the prisoner 
as the only passenger. Nothing happened, even though the ticket 
was ripped before entering onto the vehicle. We attempted 
numerous other iterations of the same concept: prisoners entering a 
company bus along with other agents, and we also each had a ticket 
present to gain entrance. We had them speak of this loudly and 
obviously, and even denied one agent entrance because he did not 
have a ticket. Still, the object did not change to resemble a ticket for 
the fictional transportation system we created. 


Next we had unaware citizens entering onto our bus, using tickets 

we had previously distributed. Once again, the ticket did not change, 
and our rider was able to leave at any time. We then exchanged our 
company bus driver for drivers hired from newspaper want ads. The 


documents, states "You can take your space-time anomaly and 
shove it up your arse!". Obskurakorps members are forcefully 
removed from SCP-2893. 


12-21-1940 — Obskurakorps prepare for a full-on invasion into 
SCP-2893. They bring one battalion. Recovered documents suggest 
that the reason for this low troop count was due to confidence in 
Obskurakorps leadership in their success. SCP-2893-A instances 
terminate the entire battalion with little resistance, despite inferior 
technology.’ Bodies are immolated. 


1-12-1941 — Obskurakorps attempts to surround SCP-2893, 
preparing for a second invasion force, this time with a force of two 
battalions.
