SCP-1224: Li'l Chemist Kit 


Item #: SCP-1224 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All acquired instances of 
SCP-1224 must be contained in separate blast chambers in the 
Hazardous Materials Wing of Site 37, with the exception of any 
acquired instruction booklets, which are to be scanned into the 
onsite secure database and subsequently destroyed. 


Description: SCP-1224 is a set of 17 instances of "Dr. 
Wondertainment's Super Science™ Li'l Chemist Kit™!". All kits are 
contained in metal boxes measuring 35.5 cm x 65 cm x 25.25 cm. 
The boxes are composed of a metallic alloy containing lead, 
aluminum and iron. The hinged lid of each kit is fully covered with a 
unique photographic sticker displaying an ethnically diverse group of 
2-4 children playing with the contents of the kit. In the lower right 
corner of each sticker is the following warning label: 


Dr. Wondertainment's Super Science Sets™! are 
intended for children ages 7-12. Any experiments using 
Dr. Wondertainment's Super Science Sets™! should be 
performed only with adult supervision. All instructions 
should be followed exactly for best results. 


SCP-1224 kits each contain a test tube rack composed of the same 
alloy as the box; 5 test tubes and an Erlenmeyer flask, all made of 
borosilicate glass; a small heating element; a borosilicate glass 
stirring rod; a glass and rubber pipette; 50 brown, opaque glass 
bottles with paper labels; and an instruction booklet. The bottles 
contain a wide variety of chemical compounds, including hydrofluoric 
acid, sodium hydroxide, colloidal silver, liquid mercury (labeled 
"Quicksilver"), small granules of uranium yellowcake, and several 
unknown compounds labeled "Super Reagent!", "Super Catalyst!" 
and "Super Accelerator!". 


SCP-1224 instruction booklets are 62 pages long and consist of 1- 
or 2-page instructions on how to conduct different experiments or 
create different substances or products. These range from simple 
compounds such as oobleck and vinegar-and-baking soda mixtures 
to more complex and unusual products such as "smoke bomb" 
pellets capable of producing approximately 1 km of non-toxic purple 
smoke, "glow in the dark" paint capable of emitting light at 5000 lux, 
and "vanishing cream" capable of temporarily redirecting light 
around subjects it is applied to, rendering them invisible for up to 5 
minutes before losing efficacy. All of the more complex products 
require some combination of the 3 unidentified compounds. 
Attempts to replicate the experiments without using these 
compounds result in inert substances. 


The back page of each booklet contains a re-order form for the 
chemical compounds. Re-order requests have consistently been 
filled within 4-6 weeks, although the supplied mailing address does 
not exist. At the bottom of the re-order form is an advertisement to 
purchase "Dr. Wondertainment's Super Science™ Li'l Physicist 
Kit™", "Dr. Wondertainment's Super Science™ Li'l Geologist Kit™!", 
"Dr. Wondertainment's Super Science™ Li'l Geneticist Kit™!", as 
well as an advertisement for a television program entitled "Professor 
Abnormal's Science Lab". Attempts to order these kits using the re- 
order form have consistently resulted in form letters stating that the 
kits are available in retail outlets only.

SCP-1225: The Worst Christmas 


Item #: SCP-1225 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1225 is kept within its 
original packing, including styrofoam padding, in an isolated room 
measuring 15 m x 15 mx 15 mat Site 37. SCP-1225 is kept ina 
locked stainless steel box on a concrete pedestal that is protected 
from the elements, in a 25 m x 25 m roofless containment area open 
to the air in at least a 180 degree arc. 


Unless part of an experiment, no sealed or closed containers are 
allowed within the containment area, including pockets in clothing 
and end-caps on pens. Personnel should spend no more than 60 
minutes per 24 hour period within the containment area. 


Description: SCP-1225 is a spindle-shaped glass ornament with a 
small loop at the top allowing it to be hung from a hook. When hung 
on a tree, bush or other "woody" plant, it initiates a process of 
accelerated decay and aging in any closed containers within 4 
meters of it. The contents of these containers will change so as to 
reflect the signs of typical wear-and-tear that the object would 
acquire over the course of several years. 


Textiles, clothing and stuffed plush items become faded and 
threadbare, often with ripped seams and missing or broken 
fasteners. Solid-state metal, plastic or glass objects will display 
chips, cracks, scratches, and heavy corrosion similar to acid burns. 
Electronics display both hardware and software problems sufficient 
to cause fatal shutdowns within a few minutes of use. Foodstuffs will 
become stale or moldy. Living organisms do not die, but display 
health problems consistent with age as well as extended 
malnourishment, neglect or abuse. 


The decay process is rapid, with affected objects displaying 


approximately 1 year's worth of aging within the first 24 hours of 
exposure. However, the rate of decay slows over time and 
asymptotically approaches a maximum of approximately 10 years' 
worth of aging over the course of 3 weeks. 


Addendum 1225-D: Study of SCP-1225's pre-containment 
circumstances, as well as experimentation regarding the aging 
effects of long-term exposure to SCP-1225, indicate that SCP-1225 
has a secondary effect. Any individuals that spend more than 4 
hours per 24 hour period within 10-12 meters of SCP-1225 begin to 
display increased levels of aggression, anger and irritability, 
decreased patience and frustration tolerance, and exaggeration of 
negative or annoying personal traits such as over-eating, alcohol 
consumption, snoring and unpleasant body odor. This effect persists 
even when the affected individuals are no longer within range of 
SCP-1225, but gradually fades over the course of 8 days. This 
increase in aggravating factors typically results in heightened levels 
of interpersonal conflict, most commonly expressed by severe verbal 
or physical fights. When more than one individual affected by 
SCP-1225 interact with each other, the effects are much more 
severe and escalate much faster. In 27.5% of cases, this results in 
serious injuries or fatalities. 


Addendum 1225-H: Due to a statistically abnormal amount of 
equipment failure, structural decay and interpersonal conflicts 
requiring administrative action at Site 37, more in-depth studies 
were performed on SCP-1225. The current prevailing theory is that 
SCP-1225 still operates even when not placed on a plant, but much 
slower and less intensely. It appears to treat enclosed structures or 
buildings containing it as if they were containers placed beneath it 
and will affect them as well. Whether or not the containing structure 
includes a roof, trellis or other overhead cover appears to most 
strongly determine whether or not SCP-1225 will affect the structure. 
The acquisition of D-Class personnel from SCP-784 is currently 
under consideration due to the fact that these personnel are less 
prone to equipment failures caused by SCP-1225. Further research 
is required in order to determine the exact nature of this effect. 
Containment protocols have been updated.

SCP-1226: Postmodernism 


Item #: SCP-1226 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1226 is to be hung on the 
wall of a standard containment chamber, and access restricted to 
testing personnel. SCP-1226 may be safely observed remotely or 
piecemeal; its anomalous properties manifest only when it is viewed 
in person and in its entirety. A 6 cm x 6 cm square of opaque black 
plastic has been positioned in the upper left corner of SCP-1226, to 
be removed for testing purposes. Only D-class personnel are 
permitted to view SCP-1226 uncovered. Special security 
precautions are to be taken when exposing subjects to SCP-1226, 
as post-exposure subjects exhibit heightened aggression, 
endurance, and physical strength. Post-exposure subjects are to be 
terminated at the conclusion of testing. 


Description: SCP-1226 is a large oil landscape painting measuring 
2 meters by 4 meters. It depicts, in great detail, the detonation of a 
nuclear weapon above a large city’. Photorealistic attention has 
been paid to every detail of the painting, from optically correct 
reflections on the thousands of glass shards depicted, to the 
accurate representation of the effects of atomic firestorm on the 
3,129 human figures portrayed on the streets. SCP-1226 was 
originally displayed in a varnished oaken frame and accompanied by 
a freestanding informational plaque?. For full text of the plaque, see 
Addendum 1226-02. 


When a subject views the whole of SCP-1226 in person, it causes 
an immediate mental and physical change in the viewer. A 
significant increase in physical size and overall musculature is 
accompanied by a pronounced curvature of the spine, forcing a 
hunched, simian posture. The skull is radically reshaped, the 
forehead sloping and jaw protruding. This results in a marked 
reduction of total brain mass and an increase in cranial pressure, 


with a significant reduction in cerebral volume. These changes occur 
over the space of about 40 seconds, and are evidently extremely 
painful. 


Post-exposure subjects exhibit a massive loss of mental capacity 
consistent with the reduction in brain mass. Subjects are capable of 
only rudimentary guttural vocalizations and simple gesturing by way 
of communication, and are concerned only with feeding, copulating, 
and other basic instinctual behaviors. Due to the intense pain and 
loss of mental function associated with transformation, subjects 
invariably enter a violent state of panic. 


Initial descriptions of affected subjects as "cavemen" have been 
proven inaccurate. Autopsies and paleontological analysis have 
revealed marked dissimilarities between known human ancestors 
and affected subjects. Currently favored theories propose that 
subjects are altered into either a hitherto-undiscovered prehistoric 
hominid, or a popularly-perceived "caveman" archetype. 


All re-education and rehabilitation efforts to date have failed due to 
the radical simplification of subject's brain structures. 


Addendum 1226-01: Acquisition Log. 


SCP-1226 was acquired on , _ , following its 
unveiling at [DATA REDACTED] Gallery in [DATA 
REDACTED]. The unveiling event was heavily promoted 
as featuring the latest work of , and was 
attended by many well-known members of the global 
artistic community. 


The unveiling event exposed _ individuals to the 
anomalous effects of SCP-1226. Those gallery patrons 
and employees not exposed were killed by exposed 
subjects over the next half hour, either through 
bludgeoning, cannibalism, , or some 
combination thereof. 911 calls and police reports were 
intercepted by MTF Upsilon-23 ("Art Critics"), affected 
subjects captured or eliminated, and amnestics 
administered to witnesses and first responders. 
SCP-1226's anomalous effects were confirmed on-site 


by MTF Upsilon-23, and SCP-1226 was taken into 
containment. 


Addendum 1226-02: Text of Informational Plaque. 


The inevitable conclusion of the modern age is in self- 
destruction! The post-modern era will be like the pre- 
modern era, the new will be like the old, there will be 
shiny chrome primitivism for everyone, and we'll all finally 
be cool.

Footnotes 

1. The skyline of the city depicted in SCP-1226 does not conform to 
that of any currently extant urban center. 

2. Neither frame nor plaque have exhibited anomalous properties, 
and may be viewed upon request. 

3. Mr. , noted post-modernist painter, professed no 
knowledge of an exhibition at [DATA REDACTED] featuring his 
work. Furthermore, SCP-1226 is highly atypical of his artwork.

SCP-1227: The Family Man 


Item #: SCP-1227 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1227 is to be kept in a 
concrete chamber 30m X 30m X 5m, only accessible through a 
double airlock system. All researchers wishing to investigate 
SCP-1227 must wear regulation biohazard suits with an enclosed 
onboard oxygen supply. The chamber contains a 20m-wide red 
circle painted on the floor, henceforth referred to as the ‘safe zone’. 
Before Airlock D is opened, SCP-1227 will be instructed to move to 
the center of the safe zone. Throughout our interactions with 
SCP-1227, it has been noted that SCP-1227 is relatively docile and 
will usually submit to these requests; however, its co-operation 
should not be taken for granted and Airlock D will not be opened 
until it is fully within the safe zone. Due to SCP-1227's passive 
nature and severely limited mobility, safety outside the safe zone is 
usually assured. Under no circumstances should any personnel or 
other biological material enter the safe zone, or engage in physical 
contact with SCP-1227. 


Description: It is believed that SCP-1227 was formerly Yuri 
Seryogin, a political prisoner of the USSR, arrested in 1957 for pro- 
democracy leanings. Parts of SCP-1227’s extended body have also 
been positively identified. Scars on the face of SCP-1227-E have 
been matched to photographs of Aleksey —_, a known associate of 
SCP-1227. SCP-1227-B is believed to be the trunk and head of 
SCP-1227’s wife, by his own admission. The remaining parts of 
SCP-1227’s mass remain unidentified. 


Documents obtained by the Foundation after the collapse of the 
Soviet Union have revealed that SCP-1227 is the indirect result of a 
Russian social experiment conducted by during the winter of 
1960. During this study, six political prisoners, including Yuri 
Seryogin, Aleksey, and Yuri’s wife, were led into the depths of an
