Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1771 are 
to be contained in a fenced off area 30 meters in radius. The border 
must be patrolled by Foundation personnel, and any civilian found 
within the contained area is to be given a Class-C amnestic before 
release. In manifestations that occur within a well-populated area, all 
properties in the fenced off area are to be purchased by a 
Foundation front corporation. In addition, the fence and patrols are 
to be substituted by walls and plainclothed guards. Any civilian 
claiming to have knowledge about an instance of SCP-1771 is to be 
given Class-A amnestic and released. Should a civilian claim to 
personally know an inhabitant of SCP-1771, they are to be 
interviewed for information before said treatment (exceptions and 
relevant procedure are listed in Document 1771-A1). All inhabitants 
of anew SCP-1771 instance are to be checked for identity and 
health every 3 weeks until a set schedule of each instance's 
residents has been established. Afterwards, each inhabitant is to be 
checked for both mental and physical health annually, on the first 
day of their appearance. All health concerns are to be promptly 
treated on site. 


Description: SCP-1771 is a collective term for a series of houses 
that exhibit the same anomalous behavior. Each instance of 
SCP-1771 cycles through a set amount of entities that reside within 
the house. Residents of SCP-1771 instances appear in all tests to 
be human. Each inhabitant is unable to leave an area spanning 10 
meters in radius around the house where they live. Each instance of 
SCP-1771 has its own set schedule, with residents changing on 
specific days of the year. At no point is there more than one 
inhabitant in the house at the same time apart from key transfer. 
This change coincides to the changing of seasons in that region. 


Each instance of SCP-1771 only houses a number of entities equal 
to the amount of seasons in its region. The appearance of each 
instance of SCP-1771 and their associated entities are varied, with 
no apparent pattern other than previously stated. 


Entities that reside in SCP-1771 are universally friendly to any 
humanoid figure, often inviting them inside for various activities 
including but not limited to: cooking a meal for the ‘guest’, making 
and serving various drinks (tea, lemonade, hot chocolate, etc), 
watching a movie together, casual conversation, bird watching, 
lessons on hobbyist activities (painting, carving, etc) and shelter 
from weather conditions. All entities speak their respective native 
tongues for each region; some entities are also bi- or trilingual. 
Entities of each instance of SCP-1771 are aware of each other but 
cannot physically interact with each other. The only recorded 
communication between entities of the same house are written 
letters. There has been no recorded communication between 
instances of SCP-1771. 


If a resident of an instance of SCP-1771 offers their house key to an 
outsider and the key is accepted, the outsider will take the place of 
the resident. Only older or sickly inhabitants offer their respective 
keys to humans; younger and healthier entities generally avoid the 
subject. The new resident does not need to be informed of 
SCP-1771's anomalous behavior or be aware of the significance of 
accepting the key. After transfer of the key is complete, the original 
inhabitant will disappear once it is no longer under human 
observation. Cameras have been able to record an original 
inhabitant until it walked into a closet, after which it disappeared. 
Once the new inhabitant has accepted the key, there will be no 
change to the set schedule of the instance of SCP-1771; the new 
inhabitant will fill the allotted time that the previous one did. 
Inhabitants become aware of the significance of the key upon 
accepting and their nature changes (if previously antisocial) to a 
universally friendly state. There have been only 2 replacements in 
Foundation custody thus far: one upon accident before this effect 
was discovered, the other to test how far an original resident of an 
instance of SCP-1771 will travel before disappearing. 


Addendum 1771-01: Dr. R's Note 


Upon routine inspection of SCP-1771-03 during fall 
season, Agent reported finding a letter directed to a 
non-existent inhabitant referred to only as 'the kind man 
who did the redecorating’. Upon questioning the current 
resident, resident stated the to-be recipient of the letter 
‘ran out of time’ and became avoidant of subject. Agent 
was unable to acquire any further information. Letter 
implies an extremely arid climate unknown to any of the 
seasons in SCP-1771-03's region. Further research into 
letters found in instances of SCP-1771 requested. 


Addendum 1771-02: Dr. J ‘s Note 


SCP-1771-09's resident for the wet season was 
discovered to be severely ill, diagnosed with acute 
pneumonia. A medical team has been assigned to 
SCP-1771-09 for treatment accordingly. Illness has been 
slow to respond to treatment and has not been cured 
before the scheduled change. During treatment, resident 
suggested to medical staff to take their key over _ times 
without success, becoming frequently distressed. 
Resident became increasingly obsessed with medical 
staff, demanding to be under 24 hour surveillance by 
nurse and requesting the nurse take its key over times 
a day. It became progressively more violent, especially 
near the end of the season; it would regularly remove its 
own IV drips to run to medical staff and attempt to force 
them to take its key. The weather during the season was 
notably unpredictable and unstable before becoming 
more consistent after scheduled change. Further 
research into health effects of the instances of 
SCP-1771's residents on local weather requested.

SCP-1772: "Egg" Allergy 


Item #: SCP-1772 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1772 is kept in a locked 
plexiglass box in the High-Value Documents section of the Site-19 
Archives. Access may be granted with authorization from the Head 
Archivist and the lead researcher on SCP-1772. 


All individuals given access to SCP-1772 must be quarantined until 
verified to be free of SCP-1772-1 infection. Any personnel under the 
effects of SCP-1772-1 must be terminated or given Class C 
Amnestics before being allowed out of quarantine. Any written or 
recorded materials suspected to be infected by SCP-1772-1 should 
be destroyed or purged. 


An index of known instances of SCP-1772-1 is kept in Document 
WWI-1772-B. 


Description: SCP-1772 is a copy of the 1983 edition of the - 

Pocket Spanish-English Dictionary, though it has been 
discovered to have flaws (termed SCP-1772-1) not present in any 
printings released by the publisher. Attempts to create reproductions 
of SCP-1772 through mechanical means have so far failed. Images 
created from scanning its pages are consistently found to be 
corrupted, while photographs will result in the images being blurred. 
Due to this, it has been impossible to compile a comprehensive 
catalog of deviations from non-anomalous printings. 


SCP-1772's primary effect occurs whenever an individual uses 1772 
to translate any word previously unknown to them. Upon activation, 
subjects will become allergic to any word used in the translation 
present in SCP-1772. 


Upon hearing, reading, or writing any word to which they are 


allergic, affected subjects will immediately exhibit symptoms of 
anaphylaxis, such as rashes, redness and itching of the eyes, 
swelling of the face and throat, and difficulty breathing. These 
reactions are only partially mitigated by standard antihistamines or 
epinephrin injections, with an efficacy of approximately 30% of 
normal. Repeated exposures result in escalating intensity of the 
reactions. Most subjects will require immediate intubation to facilitate 
breathing after their 16th or 17th exposure. 


Usage of Class C Amnestics will effectively remove the allergy, 
however currently exhibited symptoms will continue until healed 
normally. 


Following Incident-CB-1772-01-PD a secondary effect caused by 
flaws in the dictionary was identified. Subsequently the flaws were 
relabeled as SCP-1772-1. Allergic reactions due to these flaws are 
more intense! than standard reactions to SCP-1772, and possess 
the additional property of contagiousness. 


Individuals exposed to SCP-1772-1 word pairs from an infected 
source also become affected. This includes written accounts, 
recordings, or electronic records made by an affected individual. All 
attempts to identify an SCP-1772-1 word pair using indirect 
references without becoming affected have so far failed. 


Class C Amnestics have also been successful at removing 
SCP-1772-1 infections from personnel, however no means have 
been found to remove the effects of SCP-1772-1 from recorded 
materials short of destruction of the affected items. 


Use of SCP-1772's effects as a potential containment measures for 
SCP-1516 has been proposed by researchers on both projects. 
Investigation into the efficacy of such measures, as well as potential 
side effects, is currently under investigation. 


Experiment Logs: 


Reader: D-2710, speaks/reads English only 

Word Read: "huevo" (Translation: "egg") 

Reaction: D-2710 is given a note card with the word 
"egg" written on it. Upon reading it, she immediately 


complains of itchy eyes and demonstrates mild swelling 
of the face. Symptoms abate within 15 minutes. 


Reader: D-2717, speaks/reads English only 

Word Read: "fresa" (Translation: "strawberry", "drill (in 
dentistry)") 

Reaction: D-2717 displays the expected mild 
anaphylactic reactions upon reading the words 
"strawberry", "drill", and "dentistry". After recovering, 
D-2717 is provided a bowl of strawberries to eat. He 
does not display any allergic reaction to their 
consumption. 


Reader: D-3718, speaks/reads Spanish only 

Word Read: "cacahuete" (Translation: "peanut") 
Reaction: D-3718 is given a note card with the word 
"peanut" written on it, followed by a note card with the 
word "cacahuete" written on it. He does not display any 
allergic reaction to either card. 


Reader: D-3824, fully Spanish/English bilingual 

Word Read: "hola" (Translation: "hello") 

Reaction: D-3824 is given a note card with the word 
"hello" written on it, followed by a note card with the word 
"hola" written on it. She does not display any allergic 
reaction to either card. 


Reader: D-4020, speaks/reads English only 
Word Read: "risa" (Translation: "laughter", "laugh") 
Reaction: D-4020 is given a note card with the word 
"laughter" written on it. She immediately develops a rash 
over her cheeks. 
Addendum: D-4020 engaged in conversation with 
Guard while being escorted back to her cell. During 
the conversation, she told a joke which caused Guard 
to start laughing rapidly. D-4020 immediately began 
to display symptoms of severe anaphylactic shock. An 
emergency medical response team was able to stabilize 
her, and she was returned to her cell within 4 hours. In 
his debriefing, Guard estimates that he said "ha" 
9-10 times before D-4020's reaction became obvious. 


Reader: D-4041, speaks/reads English only, specifically 
chosen due to being named "Hope" 

Word Read: "esperanza" (Translation: "hope", 
"expectation") 

Reactions: After reading the translation, D-4041 was 
asked to state her full name for documentation purposes. 
Upon saying her first name, she immediately began to 
suffer from expected anaphylactic reactions. However, 
she also began to complain to the interviewer regarding 
these symptoms, during which it was discovered that any 
usage of pronouns referencing herself exacerbated the 
allergic reaction. D-4041 was stabilized after being 
exposed to 15 utterances of her name or related 
personal pronouns2, and was maintained in the medical 
wing until her termination date. 


Incident CB-1772-01-PD: Due to perceived near-immunity to the 
effects of SCP-1772, D-3824 was enlisted to do a complete 
comparison between SCP-1772 and non-anomalous editions. While 
compiling a listing of deviations, D-3824 was repeating findings via 
an intercom back to research assistants Hendricks and Jameson 
that were overseeing the process. 


The video of the control room showed the assistants recording 
D-3824's findings independently and becoming distressed as the 
effects of SCP-1772-1 became apparent. Ms. Hendricks was able to 
disable the intercom and trigger an alarm while assistant Jameson 
retrieved two epi-pens to begin treatment. 


The contagious nature of SCP-1772-1 was not fully understood until 
several researchers and agents reviewing the security recordings 
and the collected written materials also began showings signs of 
SCP-1772-1 infection. In total, 6 personnel were hospitalized with no 
casualties among staff8. 


Recordings and written materials collected from the incident were 
purged from the records to avoid further infection. 


Addendum: Efforts to catalog page numbers and word counts to 
locate mistranslations leading to SCP-1772-1 infections in 
Document WWI-1772-B are ongoing. There is no current estimation 


of a completion date due to the difficulty of dealing with constant 
infection of the cataloger. Further complicating the process is that 
accuracy cross checks have found the current process to have up to 
18% of the entries in Document WWI-1772-B itself be erroneous. 
The source of these errors is currently undetermined. 


Footnotes 
1. Lethal symptoms usually appearing between 4 to 8 exposures. 
2. Observed allergenic words included "Hope", "I", "me", and "my" 


when used by D-4041 and "she", "her", and "you" when used by 
other personnel. 

3. D-3824 was found to have suffered a myocardial infarction due to 
anaphylaxis and was pronounced dead on arrival 


«SCP-1771 | SCP-1/72 | SCP=1773 * 


SCP-1773: Gumi Beeps 


Item #: SCP-1773 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1773 should be kept in 
their original plastic container in a refrigeration unit when not being 
tested. During testing, care must be taken to not consume 
SCP-1773. Personnel who consume SCP-1773 must have their 
stomachs pumped within 30 minutes. Once every two weeks, ten 
grams of dust may be placed in SCP-1773's container, although it is 
not necessary. 


Description: SCP-1773 are a species of Tardigrade, informally 
known as “water bears.” SCP-1773 have a rapid life cycle which 
lasts only two weeks and occurs throughout the year. 


After birth, hundreds of individuals of SCP-1773 begin to cannibalize 
their siblings until only the strongest are left. The several dozen! 
remaining individuals quickly mature to a macroscopic size, reaching 
roughly 2 centimeters in length. Mature individuals form clustered 
heaps and move quickly, seeking mates. It is unknown how they 
determine the sex of other individuals. After mating, the male dies 
and is eaten by the female, which gives live birth to 200-300 
offspring. The constant cannibalism serves to limit population 
growth, resulting in a net gain of zero individuals each mating cycle. 
Any extra mass evidently comes from their supplementary 
consumption of molds and dust. 


Individuals of SCP-1773 are colored brightly and give off enticing, 
fruity aromas. Coloration includes blue, pink, green, orange, and 
yellow, with each color matching a different fruity scent. Despite this, 
they taste bitter and are mildly poisonous to most higher life-forms, 
including humans. This is presumed to be a defense mechanism, 
though why SCP-1773 advertise it attractively is unknown.
