SCP-3647: Quousque Tandem? 


Item #: SCP-3647 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3647 is to be contained in 
a standard anomalous object containment locker at Site-77, and is 
not to be removed except for use in experimentation. Testing may 
be initiated by any Foundation researcher with Level 2 clearance 
and above. Usage of SCP-3647 on Foundation personnel or D- 
Class with whom verbal communication is necessary is forbidden. 


Description: SCP-3647 refers to a gold hairpin created in the 
Roman Republic around the end of the first century BCE. When 
worn or handled normally, SCP-3647 functions as a non-anomalous 
hairpin. The anomalous properties of SCP-3647 only manifest when 
used to pierce the skin of a living human. Individuals affected in 
such a way become afflicted with severe glossophobia! and exhibit 
many symptoms of social anxiety disorder. All conventional 
treatments for social phobias, including cognitive behavioural 
therapy, SSRI antidepressants, and beta blockers, have been 
shown to be ineffective in treating conditions caused by exposure to 
SCP-3647, as has amnestic treatment. 


Regardless of their previous personality, all subjects affected by 
SCP-3647 express a strong aversion to verbally communicating with 
groups, often going to great lengths to avoid such situations. If 
forced into circumstances requiring oration, subjects become 
physically distressed, often displaying symptoms such as stuttering, 
increased heart rate, and uncontrollable shaking, and display 
significantly poorer communication skills than normal. Individuals 
listening to a speech delivered by a SCP-3647-affected subject will 
invariably regard it as poorly-delivered or unconvincing. Similar 
symptoms to the above are observed when subjects attempt one-to- 
one communication, albeit to a lesser degree of severity. 


Recovery: SCP-3647 was recovered in 1987, during the 
archaeological excavation of the Fulvia family mausoleum in the 
ruins of the Roman city of Tusculum. Its anomalous properties were 
first observed when a field archaeologist accidentally pricked his 
finger with SCP-3647 in opening an ivory box holding it. A 
Foundation agent embedded within the archaeological team 
identified SCP-3647 as anomalous, retrieved it and its box, and 
administered class-A amnestics to the on-site personnel. 


The ivory box within which SCP-3647 was discovered has displayed 
no anomalous properties as of yet, and has been donated to the 
Museum of Roman Civilization in Italy. Additionally, a note was 
found beneath SCP-3647 in the box (See Addendum 3647-A). 


Experiment 3647-07 - 15/04/1990 


Procedure: D-71243, a former classicist skilled in 
rhetoric, was given an excerpt from Roman orator 
Marcus Tullius Cicero's "Catiline Orations" and instructed 
to perform it before a small assembly. An agent was 
instructed to stand behind D-71243 and pierce his skin 
with SCP-3647 while the speech was in progress. 


Observations: 

00:00 - D-71243 begins reading the speech aloud. 
Subject is observed to be confident and expressive in his 
speech. 


03:07 - The agent standing behind D-71243 is signalled 
to expose the subject to SCP-3647. D-71243 does not 
notice this and continues with his speech as normal. 


03:07 - The back of D-71243's neck is punctured by 
SCP-3647. Subject appears surprised and vocalises an 
expression of pain. Subject is instructed to continue the 
speech as before. 


03:17 - D-71243 attempts to continue the speech. 
Subject is now observed to stutter and speak in a 
quivering voice. 


03:42 - Subject deviates from the speech to request a 
cessation of his oration. This request is denied, and the 
subject is instructed to proceed with the speech. 


04:07 - Subject is observed shaking and his pupils are 
visibly dilated. The speech is punctuated by numerous 
vocalised pauses 


04:17 - D-71248 requests to leave, reporting dizziness 
and severe chest pain. This request is denied, and the 
subject is instructed to proceed with the speech. 


04:23 - D-71243 becomes visibly agitated and attempts 
to escape the test chamber. His egress is prevented by 
security staff. 


04:27 - Subject begins to physically assault the security 
staff, demanding to be released, and is subdued. 


Note: A month after the conclusion of Experiment 
3647-07, D-71423 was found to have committed suicide 
in his cell. The subject referred to a pervasive feeling of 
hopelessness and the total inefficacy of all attempted 
medical interventions in his suicide note. 


Addendum 3647-A: The following is a translation of the note found 
with SCP-3647, originally written in Latin of high-quality papyrus. 
The note displayed no abnormalities except for smelling faintly of 
laurus nobilis2. 


Your righteous servitude has not gone unnoticed, o Loyal 
Fulvia. May this serve you in silencing all who would 
profane my legacy. 


- Eternal Caesar, The Emperor Divine

Interviewer: Why do you believe he didn't fire you? 


Janice Erickson: | don't know. | wish | knew. Maybe it was because 
none of the other staff talked to me. Maybe just coincidence. 


[Subject pauses. ] 


Janice Erickson: | ended up taking on most of the others’ duties. 
Then Carla assigned me to clean the atrium. | wasn't happy about it, 
but | was now getting paid even more because | was doing so much 
more, and | didn't want to get dismissed. So | go into the atrium 
again. 


[Subject pauses again, takes another drink.] 


Janice Erickson: And | heard my heart beating, of course. Again. | 
saw the tapestry with the skulls on it and | felt like they were 
watching me. | spent five minutes dusting in there and started 
freaking out. | thought maybe I'd end up like Margery and | just ran 
out of the room. | felt better pretty quick. But | had to go in again, 
you know? Apparently Carla hadn't been making anyone clean up in 
there since Margery left, so there was dust settled over everything. | 
didn't want to get fired and | didn't want to quit and | didn't want to 
make the stupid teenager in the kitchens clean haunted room all by 
herself. So | had to go back. 


[Subject pauses. ] 


Janice Erickson: This happened... a few times. | couldn't stay in 
there long without freaking out. Sometimes everything would turn 
red and I'd feel like | was suffocating. I'd hear whispers everywhere, 
though | couldn't understand what they were saying - | kept thinking 
they were the ghosts noticing | was there, telling each other 
someone was here. | remembered Margery talking about blood on 
the walls and she'd only been in there half an hour. | couldn't stop 
looking at that goddamn skull tapestry. Eventually | figured... well... 
Mr. [REDACTED] doesn't even come in this room anymore. He's so 
old and sick and really, if the tapestry was haunted by dead slaves 
I'd be doing him a favor. It wasn't even that big and couldn't be worth 
that much, you know? So one night | ... 


SCP-3649: Overcast and Overwhelming 


Earliest archived photograph of SCP-3649. 


Item #: SCP-3649 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Project SKYSCRAPER-31 is to 
develop methods for the penetration of SCP-3649. Project 
SKYSCRAPER-32 is to determine the feasibility of alternative 
means of terrestrial evacuation. Project SKYSCRAPER-33 is to 
devise a broad range of social preservation and containment 
contingency plans for the failure of all other SCYSCRAPER projects. 


19 iterations of SCP-3649 Special Containment Procedures have 
been archived and hidden. 


Description: SCP-3649 is an altostratus undulatus cloud formation 
that maintains a static position relative to the Earth's surface. All 
electromagnetic waves and physical matter that pass through 
SCP-3649 are disrupted to varying extents, ranging from general 
degradation of radio signals to complete collapse of molecular 
structures. Collisions between SCP-3649 and mundane clouds 
result in the former subsuming the mass of the latter.! Certain types 
of clouds motivate notably larger growth by SCP-3649 than others 
following this integration process (cumulonimbus variants in 
particular.) No precipitation has been recorded originating from 
within SCP-3649.

SCP-3650: Wanderlust 


Item #: SCP-3650 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3650 is held inside of a 
standard containment locker on Site 19. Research personnel are not 
permitted to look at both sides of any instance of SCP-3650. D- 
Class personnel may only be shown both sides of an instance of 
SCP-3650 during scheduled testing. The containment locker may 
only be opened with written permission from the active senior 
researcher. SCP-3650 may not leave Site 19. 


After the results of Test #12, subjects under the effects of SCP-3650 
must be physically restrained. 


Description: SCP-3650 is a collection of 10.16 X 7.62 cm Polaroid 
photographs (SCP-3650-1) depicting various landscapes. Poems, 
specifically 5-7-5 haiku, are written in red ink on the back of each 
instance. Every picture is signed “Rem Z.” who is presumably 
responsible for the photographs, the poems, or both. All 
photographs are devoid of persons. 


The anomalous effects of SCP-3650 trigger when a human is 
exposed to both sides of an instance. At this point, subjects feel a 
strong compulsion to go to the exact place where the photograph 
was taken, using all resources available to them. Subjects will also 
leave items at the location, such as coats, food, and books. 


Exposure to one side of an SCP-3650 instance does not trigger the 
anomaly. Researchers hypothesize that this is due to a memetic 
agent embedded in SCP-3650 instances. Research into this theory 
is still ongoing. 


The Foundation is currently in possession of twelve instances, but it 
is possible that more instances exist. 


Recovery Logs: 
Recovery | 


One instance of SCP-3650 was found during an 
investigation into Gary Dalton, who disappeared while 
climbing the mountain K2. People close to Dalton 
confirm that he assembled his team and equipment 
hastily, which they expect led to an accident during the 
ascent. 


Recovery Il 


Three instances of SCP-3650 were recovered during a 
raid of a Marshall, Carter and Dark transaction. These 
instances were marketed as “exotic travel opportunities” 
to customers with enough resources to make the trip ina 
timely manner. After interrogating the salesperson in 
charge of the transaction, the Foundation received leads 
on two more SCP-3650 instances, which were 
recovered, as well as the origin of SCP-3650. MTF-Mu-5 
(“Travel Agents”) was sent to investigate. 


Recovery Ill 


Six instances of SCP-3650 were recovered as part of 
MTF-Mu-5’s investigation into the anomaly’s origins, 
which led to deceased author Earnest Glint. Earnest 
Glint committed suicide on 3/23/2015 after killing his 
newlywed wife and her dog, according to local law 
enforcement. Her body has not yet been found. The six 
instances were confiscated from the police’s evidence 
locker. They were found in an album at the scene of the 
crime with “Honeymoon Memories’ written on the front in 
red marker. 


Test Logs: 
These are brief summaries of SCP-3650 instances. Personnel 
should ask Dr. Rolick for access to the remainder of the tests. 


NOTE: Due to the nature of SCP-3650, each test will contain either 


the picture, or the haiku and a description of the picture.
