Special Containment Procedure:Methods of containing SCP-471 
are currently being investigated. Primary goal of containment is to 
block the non-terrestrial transmissions emanating from it, with a 
secondary goal of acquiring and studying SCP-471 itself. MTF 
Mu-4 ("Debuggers") is currently tasked with blocking SCP-471's 
transmissions. 


Observation Probe Delta-2 is currently in an elliptical orbit around 
Earth that allows it to regularly intersect the signal emanating from 
SCP-471. It is responsible for observing and reporting this signal 
each time it intersects. Delta-2 also possesses boosters capable of 
keeping it within the signal for extended periods of time for the 
purposes of testing or to monitor a significant deviation in SCP-471's 
signal. 


Description: SCP-471 is an artificial satellite currently in an elliptical 
orbit around Earth. SCP-471 appears identical to Satellite -,a 
weather satellite launched by [REDACTED] in 197 . Though 
SCP-471 superficially resembles Satellite - , additional 
equipment of unknown purpose can be seen on its backside. 
Photographs and manufacture reports have confirmed that this 
equipment was not present at the launch of Satellite -. Itis 
unknown whether Satellite - was altered after launch or 
replaced entirely sometime later. SCP-471 has continued 
transmitting the same weather information Satellite - has been 
responsible for, which allowed SCP-471 to go undetected for 
decades. 


SCP-471 was first discovered by the space shuttle Discovery during 
a routine maintenance mission to [REDACTED]. An anomalous 
signal was detected being transmitted away from Earth, which was 


Experiment 3627-A 
Subject: D-2213 


Inserted Object: Wedding ring belonging to Subject 
D-2213 


Information of Note: Subject’s husband died in an 
automobile accident four months prior to Foundation 
recruitment. Psychiatric testing has revealed severe 
emotional trauma resulting from this event. 


Results: Subject recalled dreaming of her wedding day. 
The dream was identical to her memories of her actual 
wedding day with the exception of the groom, who was 
motionless throughout the ceremony and appeared to be 
in an advanced state of decay. Neither the subject nor 
anyone else attending the ceremony were bothered by 
this. Upon being instructed to “kiss the bride”, the subject 
recalled the transfer of a warm, viscous, and malodorous 
fluid from the groom's mouth into her own. Subject was 
once again unphased, and swallowed the entirety of the 
fluid produced, recalling that it produced a “warm, 
comforting feeling” inside her. Following this exchange, 
the groom disappeared and was absent for the duration 
of the ceremony. Subject awoke shortly after cutting into 
the wedding cake. 


Upon awakening, the subject was unbothered by the 
disappearance of her wedding ring. Subject reported a 
strong sense of closure regarding the death of her 
husband, stating that “I know he'll always be a part of me 
and that he would want me to move on”. Long-term 
psychiatric analysis has confirmed a notable 
improvement in the subject's mental health. 


The note produced by SCP-3627 following this 
experiment is as follows: 


No pain is like the bondage of two souls 
Detached by cruel and unforgiving fate 


But true pain is when one’s own grief controls 
The life that still remains under its weight 

We cannot say for sure if you will meet 

Again upon a distant rising dawn 

But if your memories are still complete 

Your lover’s soul is never truly gone 


+ Experiment 3627-B 

Experiment 3627-A 

Subject: D-4256 

Inserted Object: Standard #2 Pencil 


Information of Note: Subject enjoys drawing as a 
recreational hobby. 


Results: Subject recalled dreaming of a windowless 
brick room lit by a single incandescent light bulb. The 
room bore a heavy resemblance to the basement of the 
subject’s childhood home. Subject recalled frantically 
scribbling on dozens of sheets of paper and taping them 
to the left wall of the room. Once finished, the scribblings 
formed the shape of a humanoid figure. The humanoid 
figure then emerged from the papers and became a 
three-dimensional being resembling the subject, 
although with slight differences in facial structure. 
Subject then recalled being assaulted by the figure and 
pressed against the wall, causing him to become a two 
dimensional being confined to the papers. Subject at this 
point entered an omniscient point of view, as he saw the 
figure exit the room through a previously nonexistent 
door which lead into the street of a suburban 
neighborhood. At this point, the passage of time 
appeared to increase in rate, as houses on either side of 
the street gradually decayed and were overgrown by 
plant life. The figure was seemingly unaffected by this 
process, and stood motionlessly in the street. After 
several minutes, the passage of time returned to a 
normal rate, and a mushroom cloud indicative of a 


nuclear detonation appeared in the distance. Subject 
awoke shortly after watching the figure slowly melt in the 
street and detecting a strong odor of burning paper. 


Upon awakening, the subject showed little interest in 
drawing. Subject displays no displeasure toward 
drawing, and was able to draw upon instruction with the 
same level of skill as before, but stated that he “just 
didn’t feel any desire to do it anymore”. To date, the 
subject still has not partaken in drawing or any other 
visual artistic medium without being instructed to do so. 


The note produced by SCP-3627 following this 
experiment is as follows: 


The one and only noble goal of man 

To leave one’s mark forever on the Earth 

Is strived for through whatever means one can 
Create a piece of true artistic worth 

Alas, the subtle marks upon one’s soul 
Cannot be cloned by any mortal hands 

A life is better lived when short and whole 
Than stretched across the ever shifting sands 


+ Experiment 3627-C 
Experiment 3627-C 
Subject: Dr. 


Inserted Object: Video recording device remotely 
connected to a viewing monitor. 


Information of Note: Experiment aims to observe the 
destination of objects inserted into SCP-3627. Dr. 
head of SCP-3627 experimentation, performed the 
insertion in order to gain a better idea of the dreaming 
process. 


Results: Subject recalled dreaming of a hallway located 
in a foundation containment facility similar to site . The 


hallway was lined with containment cells containing 
numerous SCPs. Subject specifically recalled seeing 
SCP- ,SCP- ,SCP- ,andSCP-_, despite none of 
these SCPs being stored in the same facility in reality. 
Subject recalls being suddenly overwhelmed by a feeling 
of dread, and sprinting through multiple corridors in an 
attempt to exit the facility. The layout of the building was 
nonsensical and labyrinthine, containing multiple 
unnecessary loops and dead ends. Upon locating an 
exit, the subject ran several hundred meters from the 
facility before gaining enough composure to look back. 
The facility was several hundred times larger than any 
active Foundation site, and had the same approximate 
dimensions as a human heart. The outside of the 
building was lined with several thousand containment 
cells, each containing an SCP. The facility began to beat 
at regular intervals, sending tremors through the 
surrounding area. Subject recalled losing balance from 
the force of the vibrations. The tremors slowly increased 
in magnitude until the surrounding land “shattered”, and 
the subject was left falling through a “black, swirling 
void”. Subject awoke shortly thereafter. 


Upon awakening, subject destroyed all video footage 
received from the inserted recording device, stating that 
“some things are better left unexplained”. Subject later 
submitted a formal resignation, and was administered 
amnestics and released. 


The note produced by SCP-3627 following this 
experiment is as follows: 


The human’s sense of curiosity 

Is what puts them above the animals 

But there are things that man should best not 
see 

That can’t be kept within foundation walls 
The tortured minds of ancient horrors shriek 
Their calls can shred the Earth and tear the 
skies 


If their secrets you do persist to seek 
Then you’re seeking your very own demise 


Further experimentation on SCP-3627 has been 
discontinued indefinitely. 


Addendum 3627.3: /ncident Report //20 


On //20 , 87 days after experimentation on SCP-3627 was 
discontinued, SCP-3627 produced a pattern of tones without the 
prior insertion of an object. These tones could be heard outside of 
SCP-3627’s holding cell, and caused two D-Class personnel to fall 
unconscious (this was the first instance of SCP-3627 invoking REM 
sleep in multiple individuals at once). The pattern of tones was 
repeated for 2 minutes and 34 seconds, a notably shorter duration 
than those previously observed. Upon the conclusion of the pattern, 
both subjects awoke and immediately attempted to access the 
holding cell containing SCP-3627, first by attempting to guess the 
access code, then by repeatedly ramming into the cell. Their activity 
was eventually detected by the on-site security system, and armed 
Foundation personnel were dispatched to the area. Both subjects 
were successfully terminated before causing a containment breach. 
SCP-3627’s containment procedures have been updated 
accordingly. 


The following note was found within SCP-3627 shortly after the 
incident. 


We revealed ourselves to you 

So that you would take us in 

We did this because we knew 

You had no short supply of sin 

We thought we’d help you to let go 
to ease the guilt and help you heal 
but we were fools, for now we know 
you have no guilt that you could feel 
You really think you’re going good 
with all that you collect 

But then again, of course you would 
Secure. Contain. Protect.

SCP-3630: Reverse Locked Room Mystery 


Item #: SCP-3630 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: MTF lota-20 ("Room Keys") is 
responsible for monitoring public records, police stations and news 
reports for potential instances of SCP-3630. However, as most 
instances of SCP-3630 are largely self-containing, monitoring should 
primarily consist of ensuring any instances of SCP-3630-1 and 
SCP-3630-2 have no memory of the events that led to SCP-3630 
occurring. If any instances report being the victim or perpetrator of a 
murder, lota-20 agents are to administer Class-C amnestics on them 
and anyone they have spoken to about the events. 


Under the guidance of MTF lota-20's assigned supervisor, Dr. Juri 
Markell, instances of SCP-3630-1 with a particularly strong memory 
of their murders may be taken into custody and given a Hume-Lyle 
Reality Shift Resilience Test. Those with sufficiently high scores and 
applicable skills may be offered a position within the Foundation. 


Otherwise, instances of SCP-3630-1 and SCP-3630-2 are not 
anomalous on their own, and they can usually be left to participate in 
civilian life. On orders from the Ethics Committee, after 4/5/_, 
lota-20 must report instances of SCP-3630-2 who planned their 
actions in advance to local law enforcement. 


Description: SCP-3630 is an anomalous phenomenon or entity that 
alters aspects of non-anomalous murders to create logical 
inconsistencies. These inconsistencies include but are not limited to: 


¢ Locking the door or other entrance to the area where the 
murder occurred from the inside or outside 

¢ Removing other points of access and exit from the area, such 
as windows or grates 

¢ Damaging or otherwise altering the weapon used in the 


murder so that it does not function properly 

Altering aspects of the area so that the murder would have 
been noticed by others, such as causing a door or floorboard 
to make noise when moved or removing a wall blocking off 
access to the area 

The introduction of large groups of people into the area who 
under most circumstances would not have been present, 
preventing the murderer from accessing their victim 


These inconsistencies will never completely prevent access to the 
area where the murder occurred, and overall will not be seen as 
anomalous by most sentient beings. The majority of people who 
have become aware of the changes created by SCP-3630 are 
Foundation employees scoring more than 90 on the Hume-Lyle 
Reality Shift Resilience Test. 


After these logical inconsistencies are introduced, the murder itself 
will cease to exist, and any victims will no longer be deceased. 
These former victims are then classified as SCP-3630-1. Victims 
usually emerge from other parts of the building or area in which they 
were killed with no memory of the crime. Any others who witnessed 
their deaths or their subsequent returns also have no memory of the 
murders occurring, and do not process that anything anomalous has 
occurred. 


Those who committed the murders also have no memory of the 
events occurring, and are then classified as SCP-3630-2. If the 
murder was planned before it occurred, they will believe that some 
previously unforeseen event or circumstance diverted them from 
their previous plans, usually for vague and inconsistent reasons 
such as being "in the wrong place" or because "the timing wasn't 
right." 


Discovery: SCP-3630 was discovered when Dr. Burgundy Lowell, 
who had been trained to recognize the effects of CK-Class Reality 
Shifts due to his previous work with SCP- and had a Hume-Lyle 
score of 101, was murdered by his former Research Assistant 
Valerie Kind in his office at Site-140. Upon emerging from the men's 
bathroom down the hall, Lowell retained memories of the event and 
reported it to site security. Upon reaching his office, it was 
discovered that the door had been locked from the outside, although 


there were no signs of a forced exit. After she was found in the site 
canteen, Kind claimed she had postponed her murder attempt 
because she "didn't like the way the room looked." 


The circumstances of the event reminded Site-140 Agent M. Carter 
of an event a month earlier involving Cara Baker, a civilian who he 
was intermittently monitoring due to an encounter she had with 
SCP- two years earlier.! Ms. Baker had recently called 911, 
claiming that her ex-husband, Ryan Baker, had murdered her. 


Excerpt from 911 call between Cara Baker and an 
operator, 2/10/ 


Operator: 911, emergency. 
Cara Baker: Oh god! Please help! Oh god! 
Operator: Ma'am, can you calm down for me? Can- 


Cara Baker: It's my husband. My husband, he's killed 
me. He fucking killed me. 


Operator: Ma'am, calm down. You're hurt? I'm sending 
an ambulance right now. 


Cara Baker: | should be- | should be, | don't know. I'm 
not bleeding. 


Operator: Okay. Where were you hurt? Can you find 
where you were hurt? 


Cara Baker: In my chest. He shot- I've been shot. My 
chest. Why am | speaking? 


Operator: Okay, an ambulance is on its way, ma'am. Do 
you know where your husband is? 


Cara Baker: He... 
[Ms. Baker pauses. Five seconds of silence.] 


Operator: Ma'am? 


Cara Baker: He was just here. Oh god. We were on the 
porch and he ran into the backyard, he... 


Operator: Alright, stay on the line, ma'am- 


Cara Baker: I'm dead. I'm dead. What's going on? 
What's happening? I'm dead. 


Emergency workers who arrived on the scene believed Ms. Baker's 
beliefs were the result of a psychotic break resulting from stress due 
to her recent divorce, and she was kept under watch at 

Hospital for five days. Upon leaving care, Ms. Baker believed that 
this was true and showed no further signs of acknowledging the 
anomalous.
