On the night of each first quarter moon, SCP-2448 will 
spontaneously manifest a variety of swarms of small organisms? in 
each discrete area of the grounds. These anomalous entities will 
occupy the grounds until the next sunrise, at which point they will 
cross the boundaries of the castle grounds and disperse. Any further 
movements of these creatures are untraceable. 


It was later discovered that upon each activation of the castle's 
anomalies, SCP-2448 also manifested a collection of six glass 
bottles, scattered across the grounds. When uncorked, the bottles 
produce anomalous substances, which can be manipulated at will by 
tilting and pointing the bottle. The bottles measure 30 cm in length 
and 11 cm in diameter; each possesses distinct identifying marks 
and abilities, noted below:

Red "Fire" pours substance 
similar to flaming 
alcohol 
Azure "Frost" pours a variant of 


frozen water (e.g. 
snow, ice, sleet, 
ice pellets) 

Gray "Metal" pours liquid metal 
that is cool to the 
touch, but 
solidifies within 
seconds 

Clear "Mist" pours thick fog 
similar to liquid 
nitrogen vapor in 
texture, but 


female voice (see Addendum 270-B) speaking in a steady 
monotone, which has been recorded listing names, cryptic phrases, 
patterns of numbers, quotes, mangled quotes, strings of letters, 
[DATA EXPUNGED] incomprehensible words, sounds that cannot 
be produced by any known animal that continue for extended 
amounts of time (__ unconfirmed languages have been distinguished 
to date, of which are reoccurring), monologues, nursery rhymes, 
[REDACTED] leading to speculation as to whether or not the 
narrator is in fact human, etc. 


The following have also been recorded: melodies, periods of silence 
(see Addendum 270-C), metallic scraping noises, metallic scraping 
noises that have been looped and re-calibrated so they play roughly 
in the same tune as several classical music tunes and a handful of 
[DATA EXPUNGED], Morse code, [REDACTED] human screaming, 
various Computer programming languages, every known language 
on earth (including, in one incident, Pig Latin), [DATA EXPUNGED] 
possibly of biological origin, condescending laughter, music, music 
played backwards, music [REDACTED], conversations that have 
evidently been recorded ranging from [REDACTED] politically 
significant and extensively protected area to what was most likely an 
average household, discussing what grocery supplies to buy from 
the supermarket, static, ambient soundtracks, etc. 


A demonstrative sample of SCP-270-1 can be found here. 


SCP-270 is otherwise a perfectly normal phone and is susceptible to 
damage as similar phones would be. Disassembly has not 
uncovered the source of SCP-270’s unusual properties. 


Speaking into SCP-270 has no effect on SCP-270-1. Currently 
disputed, refer to Incident-270- in which [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Attempts to decipher SCP-270-1 have yielded partial successes. In 
one notable case, a complicated cipher proved to be an intensive 
description of an SCP- ’s imminent attempt to breach containment. 
Evidence of such was found in the [REDACTED] of SCP- ’s 
containment. Containment breach was accordingly prevented. 
Decoded portions have alternately been startlingly useful to the 
Foundation, and immensely frustrating to both personnel working on 
SCP-270-1 and Foundation officials. For example, one -hour study 


consists of 
thickened water 
vapor 

Light Brown "Earth" pours high 
volumes of various 
soil-related 
substances (thus 
far gravel, silt, 
muich, and dirt) 

Golden-yellow "Energy" pours glowing 
liquid that gives off 
electric sparks, 
vanishes after 
sparks have struck 
other objects 


Field Mission Brief: When anomalous swarms are 
present on the grounds, the bottles have been observed 
to glow with an inscription that states the carrier of the 
item should return it to its proper place in the castle’s 
inner sanctum.® Locating and placing all six bottles 
correctly in the castle will trigger the immediate 
demanifestation of all anomalously-generated 
organisms. 


Teams comprised of individuals with a variety of skill 
specializations have consistently performed well. Despite 
Foundation members being adequately trained, there 
have been instances of personnel developing temporary 
clumsiness and failing to accomplish certain actions.§ 
However, on a few rare cases, certain personnel have 
demonstrated sudden ability beyond their usual capacity; 
the first notable example involved Agent Tai Yang Shen 
managing to eliminate a swarm of bats using a single lit 
torch. 


Addendum SCP-2448-1: On / / , the 4th successful assignment, 
SCP-2448 began to manifest human entities dressed similarly to 
medieval English gentry, designated SCP-2448-1. Initial 
SCP-2448-1 spoke with a male voice regardless of gender, and 


were unable to speak more than a few words.’ SCP-2448-1 will 
speak in the primary language of those who approach them. 
Instances of SCP-2448-1 do not move from their initial location of 
manifestation, and show no inclination of assisting personnel. 
Instances of SCP-2448-1 are intangible and®8 demanifest upon the 
completion of containment. 


Addendum SCP-2448-2: SCP-2448-1 were observed to speak in 
the voices of Foundation personnel assigned to SCP-2448. 
SCP-2448-1 possessed no emotional affect and could only repeat 
back phrases spoken to them. Personnel of subsequent missions 
were given specific nonsense phrases to gauge SCP-2448-1 
reactions. Thus far, the phrase “how the slugs dance in salted 
shoes” has not only been adopted by several SCP-2448-1 
instances, but has also appeared embroidered onto a tapestry hung 
in the castle’s main hall. Phrases containing technical terminology, 
such as “Laplace Transformations can accurately model sudden and 
nonbuffered changes in voltage”, have gone unnoticed by 
SCP-2448-1. 


Addendum SCP-2448-3: While manifested SCP-2448-1 
populations have slowly increased with each successive SCP-2448 
activation, swarm organisms have decreased noticeably in number. 
However, various hybrid creatures have been sighted during recent 
containment assignments, the most common being bipedal ursid 
entities possessing patches of feathers upon their limbs. 


Addendum SCP-2448-4: Following development of increasingly 
sophisticated conversational ability, as of / / ,9 instances of 
SCP-2448-1 have acquired solid forms and have begun to move 
from their initial manifestation point. Though instances of 
SCP-2448-1 have never come within 5 meters of the location 
boundaries, some have expressed the desire to “play in another field 
when this story is finished”. 


Current instances of SCP-2448-1 have been noticed carving 
tessellated hexagonal patterns into the ground. Instances of 
SCP-2448-1 have additionally begun to bar entrance to certain 
locations, inquiring of Foundation personnel "how many points they 
have", and refusing entry should the SCP-2448-1 instance deem the 
personnel member as insufficient. When SCP-2448 entities are 


questioned about aspects of the location, they simply respond that 
the questioner should "read the rules". 


Though it has been in the interest of the Foundation not to harm the 
humanoid manifestations, discussion regarding updating the 
containment procedures is ongoing.

SCP-2449: Unexpected Confinement 


Item #: SCP-2449 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-2449 are to 
be physically blocked off on all sides with concrete. The resulting 
structures are to be incorporated into locally appropriate buildings or 
public works that conceal or de-emphasize the existence of 
containment chambers. Should an instance of SCP-2449 be empty 
or its previous subjects deceased, its exact spacial bounds are to be 
redetermined by D-class personnel according to Document 2449-1. 


In case of pre-existing casualties to an instance of SCP-2449, 
standard life support is to be enabled according to Document E-21 
(‘Ethics Standard for Treatment of Human Subjects’). Structures are 
to be built with openings for routine food supply and plumbing 
support. Installation and maintenance of facilities inside SCP-2449 
has to be performed by subjects. In cases of subjects being affected 
by an instance that precludes minimum quality of life (size of less 
than 5 cubic metres), euthanization may be offered after prior 
Level-3 Clearance is acquired. 


Containment procedures and publicity suppression plans for newly 
formed instances of SCP-2449 are available to containment teams 
globally. 


Foundation personnel are to keep a minimum distance of 0.5 meters 
from the borders of SCP-2449 at all times. 


Description: SCP-2449 is a phenomenon in which cuboid regions 
of space prevent living things with a mass greater than 5 grams from 
exiting, but not entering, their boundaries. Instances of SCP-2449 
have no visible boundaries and remain permeable to nonliving 
matter. Currently known instances of SCP-2449 range in size from 
0.5x0.5x1 meters to 25x20x5 meters. 


Instances of SCP-2449 have been found in locations ranging from a 
cave in the Turkish Taurus Mountains to an apartment complex in 
Baku, Azerbaijan. In 14% of cases, the location and size of 
instances have coincided with existing rooms in a building. 44% 
coincided with the locations of existing structures but reached 
through walls, stones or other obstructions, requiring modifications 
of the location to achieve containment, while 40% had no overlap 
with human constructs or natural phenomena. For a full list of 
locations, see Document 2449-2. 


SCP-2449’s effect is extended to nonliving objects that are in direct 
contact with specimens inside. As such, removing objects from 
within an instance of SCP-2449 should be performed by throwing or 
dropping, similar to how supplies are inserted. 


Statistical analysis has found no link between known locations of 
SCP-2449 or presumed dates of appearance. Expected growth of 
SCP-2449 is less than five instances per decade. 


Addendum: While initial analysis deemed SCP-2449 potentially 
qualified for the containment of humanoid SCPs, use for this 
purpose has not been authorized. Directives on cross-testing of 
SCPs apply fully to SCP-2449 outside of emergency orders from 
Site Directors. 


Addendum 2: After the establishment of SCP-2449-37 within the 
bounds of the Site-44 Astronomical Observation Laboratory, local 
procedures have been amended. The five site personnel contained 
within will continue their employment within limits to man 
Observation Unit-2 and will receive full attention to the preservation 
of quality of life. On-site family will be allowed limited contact with 
subjects. Non-Foundation relatives will receive notices of their death 
and standard Foundation benefits. Non-essential furniture within 
SCP-2449-37 will be removed to create enough space for 
simultaneous reclined sleep of three personnel. Should less than 
two Personnel remain available to man Observation Unit-2, on-site 
technicians are to fill vacancies and allow continued operation.

SCP-2450: Teeth 


Item #: SCP-2450 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2450 patients are to be 
kept physically restrained in Secure Ward LAN-12 to prevent the 
spread and progression of infection. The initial infection source is 
contained at the site of discovery in a building disguised as an 
electrical substation, designated Building-2450. 


Building-2450 is kept securely locked and surrounded by a standard 
substation fence replete with 'Danger of death’ warning signs. 
Constant surveillance is kept over the Building, and any persons 
attempting to intrude are to be detained and questioned. Ingress is 
only by means of a double door system which includes an isolation 
chamber to prevent the entrance of any small mammals to 
Building-2450. On no account must any mammals except approved 
test subjects be permitted to exit Building-2450. 


One member of Foundation personnel with dentistry training is to 
monitor all dentistry journals and news sources for cases that may 
indicate an SCP-2450 outbreak. 


Description: SCP-2450 is an infectious disease that causes severe 
hyperdontia in unusual areas of the body. The initial infection source 
is the area contained by Building-2450, a former male bathroom ina 

company service station located on the M motorway in ; 
United Kingdom. The vector via which this area infects is unknown: 
Level-V Haz-Suits have proven ineffective in preventing infection. 
The disease may affect a large number of mammalian species (for a 
full list of all susceptible mammals discovered so far, see 
Document-2450-Species) including rodents, dogs, and humans; 
approximately 23% of subjects exposed to the area contract 
SCP-2450. Infection may also be passed to new hosts through bites 
which draw blood, with an infection probability of 12%. 


Initial stage infection results in the patient presenting hyperdontia 
(the eruption of extra teeth) in various body orifices. The first orifice 
to be affected is usually the mouth, with teeth erupting from gums, 
palate, and frenulum, but once the disease has progressed, all 
bodily openings will be affected. The size of teeth grown varies but 
tends to be proportional to the size of the opening. SCP-2450 teeth 
will grow at a rate roughly twelve times that of natural teeth, taking 
typically between 3 weeks and 9 months for a tooth to grow from 
germ to full root completion, depending on size. Teeth will grow in 
rows further and further back into the orifice as the disease 
progresses. 


Latter stage SCP-2450 infection will begin to occur once all natural 
bodily orifices have grown at least one full row of teeth. In this 
occasion, areas of the body which are not orifices but form a semi- 
closed shape, such the eyes or the interspaces between toes, will 
also begin to erupt teeth. In addition, any apertures formed in the 
body by external trauma, such as cuts to the skin, will develop 
SCP-2450 teeth. 


Calcium and other minerals required to grow the teeth are taken 
from the body's natural stores, and, consequently, SCP-2450 
infection can result in osteoporosis and hypocalcaemia. Patients 
may be kept alive despite this by administering calcium and mineral 
supplements, and will keep producing teeth indefinitely.
