SCP-2247: Did the agents like the audition? 
Am | hired? 


D-2214: | was not told of any audition, or if you 
are hired for anything. [pauses] But please, 
don't speak out of turn. I'm here to know more 
about you. 


SCP-2247: Why are you people so dismissive 
of new blood, just like the Process? 


D-2214: | don't know about the Process, but to 
the people here, you are more of a test subject 
than worker. 


SCP-2247: What is the job scope of a test 
subject? 


D-2214: You stay about and let them do their 
work on you. 


SCP-2247: [frowns] Do you think that is better 
than being liberated intoa boring library 
by some self-righteous boludos? And speaking 
of those boludos, can serpents even have 
hands? Or what kind of a wanderer owns a 
library? 


D-2214: Personally, | think freedom is best no 
matter what; prison sucks. And biologically 
speaking, serpents do not have hands. And 
perhaps a wanderer who wants a place to be 
based at? 


SCP-2247: Would freedom suck if one has 
nothing to do at all? Would it be best for one to 
stick to that job one can finally do? 


D-2214: Yeah, that also sucks. And if you like 
your job, of course. [pauses] Anyway, can you 
tell me more about this boring library? Was 
your time there enjoyable? Just nod your head 
if it was, and shake if it was not. 


[SCP-2247 shakes its head.] 


D-2214: Okay, you can tell why was it not 
enjoyable, but | need you to be as detailed as 
possible. The more detailed your question, the

SCP-2247: What is the point of libraries and

library? 


D-2214: In general, jailors are always a topic 
to people who have histories with them. 
[pauses] Okay, so you wanted to return to do

SCP-2248: The Temple of Luna Primogenita 


Item #: SCP-2248 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its fixed location, 
Reliquary and Bio-Research Site-369 is to be established around 
SCP-2248. Site-369 is to be publicly recognised as a Croatian naval 
base. 


Two surveillance cameras are to be mounted in SCP-2248's central 
chamber to monitor SCP-2248-A. Research personnel are not 
permitted to enter SCP-2248's central chamber; remote observation 
via surveillance camera is permitted. Direct visual contact with 
SCP-2248-A is to be conducted by D-class personnel. Personnel 
affected by SCP-2248-A are to be held at windowless E-class 
holding cells at Site-369 and undergo fortnightly medical 
examinations. 


Description: SCP-2248 is a shrine with an area of approximately 
80 m2 located on the shore of the uninhabited island of __, Croatia 
in the Adriatic Sea. Its architecture resembles that of the Ancient 
Roman templum. Radiocarbon dating of samples indicates that 
SCP-2248 was constructed circa 200 — 260 CE. Inscriptions in Latin 
and Koine Greek are found in SCP-2248, most of which reference 
an entity called "Luna Primogenita". 


When initially discovered, the plant species Amaranthus blitum 
(purple amaranth) and Cupressus sempervirens (Mediterranean 
cypress) were found in SCP-2248. Despite SCP-2248 possessing 
suitable conditions for plant growth, seeds from at least 20 other 
species were found ungerminated.! These seeds were determined 
to belong to species outside of the genus Amaranthus and 
Cupressus. Radiocarbon dating indicated that the oldest seeds 
present are dated to circa 200 — 260 CE. 


This suggests that only plants of the genus Amaranthus and 
Cupressus are capable of growing inside SCP-2248, as verified 
through further experiments. Seeds from other species of plants are 
unable to germinate, while other plant species that have been 
replanted into SCP-2248 show no signs of growth and will gradually 
wither. Notably, plants under the genus Myrtus and Laurus and their 
seeds will undergo spontaneous combustion within 24 hours of 
being placed in SCP-2248. 


SCP-2248-A is an approximately two-metre tall statue of the Roman 
deity Diana, constructed from marble with traces of silver. It is 
affixed onto an altar inside SCP-2248's central chamber. When an 
individual (hereon referred to as 'subjects') directly observes 
SCP-2248-A, their sensory perceptions of the Moon and Sun are 
altered. 


Subjects are able to see under low light conditions when the Moon is 
visible in the night sky, and are susceptible to retinopathy through 
direct observation of the Moon. In addition, erythema is common 
among subjects who have prolonged exposure to moonlight. 


In contrast, subjects experience visual impairment on nights with a 
new moon, during daytime or during a lunar eclipse. They are also 
capable of viewing the Sun directly without detriment, claiming that 
the Sun is perpetually in a solar eclipse. In addition, they do not 
suffer from erythema or other symptoms of sunburn despite 
prolonged exposure to sunlight. 


SCP-2248 was initially discovered on / /1967 by two Yugoslavian 
fishermen, who were exposed to SCP-2248-A. These individuals 
have since suffered sunburn and retinal damage due to prolonged 
exposure to moonlight. Foundation agents attached to the 
Yugoslavian government were alerted to the incident, and 
SCP-2248 was traced as the origin of the anomaly. The two 
fishermen were provisionally granted E-class status, pending a 
possible treatment to the cognitohazard. 


Addendum 2248-1: Foundation archaeologists have reconstructed 
several statues of the Greco-Roman deity Apollo from broken 
fragments recovered from the central chamber of SCP-2248. The 
presence of hammers and other blunt tools seems to suggest 


deliberate attempts to damage said statues. 


Text recovered from the temple consists primarily of hymns written 
in praise of Diana while denouncing Christianity, the cults of Apollo 
and Sol Invictus. Below are several examples of such text, 
translated into English. 


From Latona is Diana borne first 

And then followed by Apollo. 

Likewise, the Sol Invictus of Aurelian is false 
For Luna Primogenita conquers the sun. 


Like the moon consumed by dawn, 

We — her followers — will be devoured by the legions' 
sword. 

But so long Luna Primogenita's sanctuary stands firm, 
The moon and her followers shall always return.

SCP-2249: The Failed Dreamland 


Item #: SCP-2249 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: An exclusion zone with a 10 km 
radius (Referred to as the "Green Zone" from 10 km to 7 km) must 
be maintained at all times around SCP-2249. Signs warning of 
extreme radiation contamination along the border of the excursion 
zone work to deter entry by civilians, however MTF Sigma-19 ("Park 
Rangers") is stationed at Outpost 16-2249 and polices the borders. 
Within 10 km and 7 km of the radius, any entrant may be removed 
without repercussion beyond a mandatory viewing of a safety video 
on the dangers of radiation. 


At 6 km from SCP-2249, a 3.5 m reinforced concrete wall topped 
with barbed wire blocks further entry into the exclusion zone (from 
this point on referred to as the "Red Zone"), the only entrance within 
being Outpost 16-2249. Travel within the Red Zone is only allowed 
with the use of specially designed vehicles to block radiation, as well 
as standard personal radiation protection equipment and ear 
protection. A guide from MTF Sigma-19 must accompany any 
research parties entering the Red Zone and SCP-2249. Multiple 
routes leading to SCP-2249 must be kept clear to allow for 
maximum viewing distance. 


Within SCP-2249, radiation protection equipment must be worn at all 
times, while ear protection is safe to remove within SCP-2249-1. 
Deviation from the pathway leading to and from SCP-2249-1 is to be 
avoided; in the event the pathway is blocked while trying to leave 
SCP-2249-1, personnel are advised to clear or scale the obstruction 
before any attempts to go around are made. 


Description: SCP-2249 is an extra-dimensional space 
approximately 4 km? in size, located inside the 's Hospital in 
the former town of __, Russia. The area within SCP-2249 


resembles an old-growth pine forest, with plant life exhibiting signs 
of extreme malnourishment and light deprivation’. A dim grey "sun" 
is always stationary within SCP-2249's sky at a 12 pm position, 
providing a dull light. Space within SCP-2249 is looped internally; 
any subjects approaching SCP-2249's border will find themselves 
on the opposite border, with no signs of transition. 


Entrance to SCP-2249 is through an elevator on the first floor of the 
hospital, in which is a single Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) on 
a bed of grass (Poaceea festuca). Pressing the button labeled with a 
small tree icon will take the elevator to the third floor, where it will 
open empty. Anyone inside the elevator is taken into SCP-2249. The 
elevator functions normally when used to travel to other floors, 
including the third. 


Travel within SCP-2249 is extremely dangerous due to instances of 
SCP-2249-2 both above and underground? as well as a near 
complete saturation of gamma radiation throughout SCP-2249. 
Mapping the area within SCP-2249 has proven impossible, as most 
electronics cease to function due to high levels of radiation. The 
exception to this is a 1.2 km long pathway leading from the elevator 
entrance to SCP-2249-1. 


From the pathway to SCP-2249-1, multiple constructions can be 
seen, most suffering from heavy structural damage and general 
wear. Some of the constructs have been identified as a nursing 
station, a cafeteria, and a storage center. Also identified are two 
large sporting fields, a playground, and an empty swimming pool. 


SCP-2249-1 is the residence of Dr. Delroy , the apparent 
creator of SCP-2249, whose body was found within. Most of the 
space within SCP-2249-1 is filled with working machinery, notes 
belonging to Dr. , and various scrap metal and wiring. Study of 
these notes has revealed that the machinery is intended to stabilize 
space-time within a certain area, granting protection from the 
instability the rest of SCP-2249 suffers from as well as blocking 
dangerous radiation. This device is functional, as evidenced by the 
stability of SCP-2249-1, the surrounding area‘, and the path exiting 
SCP-2249. Research is focused on replicating this device or 
increasing it's area of effect in order to stabilize the entirety of 
SCP-2249. 


SCP-2249-2 is the designation given to multiple anomalies within 
SCP-2249, ranging in size from 11 cm to 1.67 m in diameter. 
SCP-2249-2 emit lethal doses of gamma radiation and exhibit a 
strong gravitational pull in their vicinity. Some instances exist 
simultaneously within SCP-2249 and the surrounding Red Zone, 
allowing energy to pass through unchanged. Matter that is pulled 
into an SCP-2249-2 from the Red Zone is deposited into SCP-2249 
highly compressed, while matter pulled from within SCP-2249 never 
emerges. Instances of SCP-2249-2 that do not exist in the Red Zone 
as well appear visually as a black void, with neither light nor matter 
emerging again after entering. 


SCP-2249-2 can be mobile, moving at a maximum observed rate of 
0.63 kph in random directions. SCP-2249-2 also accompanied by 
what has been described as a loud "roaring" noise, peaking at 

152 dB. To date, there are a total of 457 confirmed instances of 
SCP-2249: 163 mobile instances, 294 stationary, of which 236 exist 
in both SCP-2249 and the Red Zone. SCP-2249-2 have 
manifested during the Foundation's containment of SCP-2249. 


Addendum 2249-01:
