Following the conclusion of a game of SCP-1488, all surviving 
SCP-1438-A or SCP-1438-B instances will resume their normal 
routine, and express interest in playing SCP-1438 again, if the 
opportunity arises. Should they choose to participate in another 
instance of SCP-1438, they will resume their former roles as 
instances of SCP-1438-A and SCP-1438-B. Furthermore, in 
between instances of SCP-1438, instances of SCP-1438-A and -B 
will re-enter fugue states when under stress, which typically last 
anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours. 


Students not participating in SCP-1488 will usually assume that all 


instances of SCP-1438-A and SCP-1438-B are simply staying in- 
character and do not wish to break it in case players are present. 
Faculty will view it with some degree of scorn, often citing itas a 
distraction from studies and that students participating in it could be 
doing better things with their time. Campus law enforcement notably 
do not attempt to confiscate weaponry used in a game of SCP-1438.

the duration of the game. 

The only official safe zones in a game of Invaders 

are restrooms and classrooms; everywhere else is 

fair game. Other safe zones can be determined by 
players on a college by college basis.

« This game can take a long time to play, but don't 
forget your studies. Remember, school work is 
always more important than the game. We don't 
want people flunking because they're too 
concerned about whether or not their friend is 
Marked. 


Document 1438-02: An excerpt from SCP-1438-1, describing the 
backstory of SCP-1438. 


They Came from the Stars... 


The Invaders came silently in the night. It started with a 
single person, but soon, they spread, overwriting the 
electrical impulses in the human brain to make them like 
themselves. They are numerous, and if not stopped, 
Earth will fall to them. 


The resistance is the last, best hope humanity has 
against the invaders. We've been fighting them since 
they first arrived, at the incident in Norwalk five years 
ago. You have just been inducted into the the resistance, 
which has a single objective: to kill all of the Invaders at 
any cost. Never mind the fact that the Invaders were 
once a friend, a family member, a lover, a father, a 
mother, a child... once Marked, they are the enemy, and 
must be eliminated through any means possible. Nobody 
will miss them. 


All Invaders carry a Mark on their skin that they spread to 
normal humans, converting them over the course of six 
hours. Additionally, their regenerative capabilities make 
them impervious to bullets, grenades, even Joplin's 
newly developed plasma swords. However, they have 
knowledge of advanced weaponry. This knowledge can 
be coerced from them through various methods (the 
Geneva Convention doesn't apply to things that aren't 
human) that can eliminate them permanently. The 
Invaders have a single-minded goal: to take over the 
entire population of humans in the area, and from there, 
the planet as a whole.

Virginia and Wisconsin, as well as the western counties of 
Pennsylvania and northern counties of Kentucky. 

2. This technology is never actually used by instances of SCP-1438- 
B, as elimination of human targets is a losing condition for 
SCP-1438-B. 

3. It has been noted that this weaponry operates as miniature 
versions of the weapons systems possessed bySCP-2820. 
Investigation into a potential link between Mr. Finney and the 
developers of SCP-2820 is ongoing.

SCP-1439: Serial Stickers 


Item #: SCP-1439 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1439 is to be kept in a 
locked drawer in Site 24’s testing center. Access to and 
experimentation with SCP-1439 requires prior permission from at 
least one (1) Level 3 Senior Researcher. Only one instance of 
SCP-1439-1 is allowed to be tested at a time, and should be 
destroyed once the test has concluded. Currently, testing is 
suspended on SCP-1439 due to previous containment breaches. 
Testing may resume once all portions of the object are back in 
place. Though additional safety measures have been put in place 
making another breach unlikely, any instances of SCP-1439-1 found 
outside their testing chamber should be destroyed immediately. 


Description: SCP-1439 is a small sheet of 8 round smiley-face 
stickers. Each sticker is approximately 4 centimeters in diameter, 
and has a name printed above it which is not part of the sticker itself. 
The names above each sticker are Edward, Thomas, Gordon, 
Henry, Albert, James, Charles, and Harvey. The first three stickers 
are light blue, while the others are green, grey, red, purple, and 
brown, respectively. All 8 have two black dots for eyes and a simple 
black curve for the mouth. The James sticker was initially missing 
from the sheet when the Foundation originally acquired SCP-1439, 
but appeared again after approximately three months. The Edward 
sticker is currently unaccounted for, as it disappeared 9 months after 
the SCP was originally contained. Investigation is ongoing to 
discover the individual(s) responsible for this containment breach. 


SCP-1439’s effects begin manifesting when one of the stickers is 
placed on any object or surface, including plants, animals, and 
human beings. Once the sticker is in place, it will slowly dissolve 
over a period of 3-4 minutes. Human testing subjects have reported 
a slight tingling sensation when this happens, but no pain. Within the 


next 8-10 minutes, the subject will begin to become 
anthropomorphic, with a face appearing where the sticker was 
originally placed. At this point the subject is considered an instance 
of SCP-1439-1. After 20 minutes, the face will become more 
detailed, and become capable of blinking and speaking. Most 
instances of SCP-1439-1 tested so far have spoken American 
English in various regional dialects, though one was also capable of 
speaking fluent Cantonese. 


Approximately an hour after the initial exposure to SCP-1439, a set 
of arms and legs will begin to grow from the subject, giving it a more 
humanoid appearance. Instances of SCP-1439-1 will have varying 
levels of mobility, depending entirely on the size, weight, and 
general shape of the original subject. Subjects shorter than 0.8 
meters in height are usually completely anthropomorphous, while 
larger subjects will only be partially affected. As an example to 
illustrate how this affects both inanimate objects, and subjects like 
humans and animals, see Notable Experiments Log 2468 below. 


Instances of SCP-1439-1 exhibit a variety of behaviors, but are 
generally emotionally manipulative and/or single-minded once they 
are capable of speech, and act hostile when their demands are not 
met. Psychotic episodes are common and often result in acts of 
violence from the subject, prompting their termination as further 
testing efforts from that point are usually futile. 


So far the only recourse for returning SCP-1439 to its original state 
is to destroy any instances of SCP-1439-1. Depending on their size 
and the area affected, sapient subjects may need to be terminated, 
or only have part of their body removed for disposal. Through 
testing, this has resulted in the death or maiming of animals and 
humans.

3-4 minutes 
after the

The entire

affected by 
the 
SCP-1439, 
with the face 
appearing on 
the light bulb, 
arms 
sprouting 
from the 
adjustable 
“neck” of the

subject 
expressed 
fascination 
with its cord, 
and refused 
to answer 
questions 
until it was 
“turned on”. A 


researcher 
plugged the 
subject’s cord 
into an outlet, 
and flipped 
the subject’s 
switch. 
Subject 
stated that 
the bright light

exclaiming, “I

unharmed. 
D-82913 was 
anesthetized 
for this test, to 
see if 
anesthesia 
would affect 
an instance of 
SCP-1489-1, 
and to 
prevent panic 
due to the 
transformation. 
D-82913’'s

The

made 
vocalizations

Subject 
continued to

was 


functionally 
dead. Subject 
was 
extremely 
charismatic, 
and allowed

telling stories 
of various 
subjects

violent crime 
sprees with 
"my friend

escapades

women, and 
even

Subject 
became 
violent when 
it realized it 
was to be 
disposed of, 
and managed 
to get loose 
within the 
research 
center. The 
research 
team 
eventually 
discovered 
the subject’s 
hiding place, 
and flushed it 
out with an 
acetylene 
torch. Subject 
was then 
captured and 
incinerated. 
No face

the testing 
chamber. 
Before they 
could leave 
the testing 
center, 
D-59919’s leg 
suddenly 
sprouted 
arms, one of 
which 
grabbed a 
nearby 
scalpel and 
disabled his 
security guard 
escort, as 
well as a 
nearby 
researcher. 
D-59919 
panicked 
during this, 
having lost 
control of his 
left leg. 
SCP-1439-1 
then made a 
jerking motion 
which caused 
D-59919 to 
fall on his 
back, hitting 
the back of 
his head. 
D-59919’s leg 
split down the 
middle, 
forming two 


new, separate 
legs for 
SCP-1439-1. 
The subject 
then used the 
scalpel to cut 
itself free 
from 
D-59919, and 
began to eat 
part of 
D-59919's 
other leg. The 
security team 
arrived shortly 
thereafter and 
neutralized 
the subject. 
D-59919 was 
pronounced 
dead at the 
scene, having 
lost too much 
blood from his 
femoral artery

severed. It is 
unknown how 
or why this
