It is periodically necessary to renovate or relocate an 
instance of SCP-3119-C. During this time it is not 
possible to provide the dance party required to contain 
SCP-3119. Tests involving dancing with progressively 
larger numbers of partners (i.e. solo as in a nightclub, 
pairs as in tango, Cumberland Squares, interpretive 
dance ensembles) reveal SCP-3119 moves between 
groups rather than between dancers. For example, when 
dancing a Cumberland Square, SCP-3119 will move 
from one ‘basket' (set of four dancers) to the next 
‘pasket', rather than infest one basketer at a time. 


The safe movement of instances of SCP-3119 therefore 
requires the entire club to conga from SCP-3119-C (old) 
to SCP-3119-C (new). A single conga line is required so 
that SCP-3119 has only one group of dancers available 
to infest. If this is done as part of a planned relocation we 
encourage this to be a public event for purposes of 
publicity for the opening of the new SCP-3119-C. If this 
is done as part of an emergency response then 
participants in Procedure-3119-American-Smooth are 
expected to participate in the conga line.

dedication to the Foundation during the fire 
two months ago. In taking that conga line into 
a burning building to rescue an SCP she 
showed both leadership and guts. —

Attendance at instances of SCP-3119-C is highly 
seasonal. To mitigate low attendance that could lead to 
an Event-3119-New- Yorker, all Level 3+ personnel at 
Site 64 are invited to participate in Procedure-31 1 9- 
American-Smooth. 


Want to learn to dance? Need to find your 
rhythm? Maybe just got to work off that 
SCP-871? 


Come dance with SCP-3119-1! 


Every Tuesday and Thursday morning we are 
joined by Site-64's house jazz band ("The Yard 
Birds") as we learn the Rumba, Viennese 
Waltz, Tango and Foxtrot under the tutelage of 
a noncorporeal dance entity! 


We promise to put a ‘twinkle’ in your toes! 


Participants in Procedure-31 19-American-Smooth are 
expected to participate in Procedure-3119-Conga in the 
event of containment breach due to e.g. faulty plumbing 
or broken windows in instances of SCP-3119-C. 


| thought it might like having more dance 
available and a variety of music, so | set up 
these dance lessons. It woke up when it heard 
the instruments, jumped into my head, and 
then — the mental equivalent of a blank stare. 
Michael and | danced the Waltz for a bit, and it 
... |don't know. | got my mother a silver 


pendant last Christmas that | know for a fact 
she gave to her next door neighbor. Waltzing

Christmas morning with my mother's polite 
smile. 


We're continuing the lessons anyway. — H.

SCP-3120: Help Desk 


Item #: SCP-3120 


Object Class: Thaumiel 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3120 is to be powered off 


and kept in a storage locker in the Communications Office of 


Site-81. One person in the administrative staff of each Foundation 
secure facility is to be granted Level 5/3120 clearance and briefed 


on the properties of SCP-3120. If the conditions outlined in 
Document 3120-Omicron are met, any person with Level 5/3120 
clearance may broadcast a 3120-Omicron signal. 


Document 3120- 
Omicron [LEVEL 5/3120 CREDENTIAL REQUIRED] 


A 3120-Omicron signal may only be broadcast if: 


If the Communications Office of Site-81 receives a confirmed 3120- 
Omicron signal, SCP-3120 is to be powered on, and a staff member 


One or more Keter-class objects is in an active 
state of containment breach, AND 

The object(s) in question do not have relevant, 
clearly-defined procedures for the re-establishment 
of containment, AND 

The object(s) in question, if not immediately 
contained, pose a significant, immediate risk to 
Foundation facilities and/or more than one million 
(1 000 000) civilians, AND 

The person broadcasting the 3120-Omicron signal 
subjectively judges the information leaks caused 
by SCP-3120 to be a less significant risk than 
refraining from the use of SCP-3120. 


with clearance level 4 or higher is to use it as appropriate. 


ACCESS RESTRICTED. PLEASE ENTER LEVEL 4 CREDENTIAL. 


After the threat indicated by the 3120-Omicron signal is 
neutralized, the Foundation Memetics Department is to 
develop an anti-meme to the information distributed by 
SCP-3120. If disinformation campaigns are judged to be 
ineffective by the time the anti-meme is completed, it is 
to be deployed in all media markets. 


In particularly time-sensitive situations for which anti- 
memes cannot be developed as quickly as needed, 
nuclear or high-yield conventional weapons may be 
deployed in targeted civilian population centers, only 
pursuant to a unanimous vote by the O5 Council and a 
majority vote by the Ethics Committee. 


Description: SCP-3120 is a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge smartphone 
with a silver finish and English-language interface. Its fingerprint 
recognition is apparently faulty, as any human can unlock the device 
with the print of a thumb or index finger’. Both its lock screen and 
wallpaper consist of a white background with centered Arial Bold 
text, with the lock screen reading "INFORMATION SHOULD BE 
FREE" and the wallpaper reading "INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IS 
SPIRITUAL THEFT." 


SCP-3120 is unable to receive wi-fi signals or cell service of any 
kind. It has applications installed that are consistent with factory 
settings of a device of the same model, but only the Phone and 
Contacts applications can be launched. 


The device has only one contact saved2, under the name of "Help 

Desk." The telephone number saved with this contact is +1 (218) - 
3. Attempts to call this number are always successful4, and result 

in the caller being connected to an entity designated SCP-3120-1. 


ACCESS RESTRICTED. PLEASE ENTER LEVEL 4 CREDENTIAL. 


SCP-3120-1 has a voice described as sounding like a 
middle-aged woman with an accent typical of the Upper 
Midwest. It is cooperative with any test subject and 
answers questions of any nature with little or no 


hesitation. It is believed to have access to all information 
in existence, including the Foundation database, as well 
as otherwise inaccessible information held by several 
groups of interest, including [REDACTED]. On four 
separate occasions, it has provided detailed and 
effective procedures for the containment of Keter-class 
breaches, saving an estimated 550 Foundation 
personnel, civilians in at least universes, and 

$ USD in Foundation financial resources. 


When SCP-3120-1 provides the caller with any 
information, it is also published within 24 hours in at least 
29 known newspapers worldwide, as well as mentioned 
on at least 90 known television news stations and in 
numerous posts by social media accounts affiliated with 
these organizations. 


Information distributed this way is also highly resistant to 
all amnestics; testing using amnestics of Class V or 
higher has proven successful in halting the spread of the 
information in question, but only through the erasure of 
the subject's faculties of language and/or extensive 
neurological damage. Targeted anti-memetic images, 
text, and audio, however, have proven effective in 
suppressing the information dispersed by SCP-3120. For 
this reason, anti-memes are given extreme preference in 
SCP-3120's containment procedures. 


SCP-3120 was surrendered to the Foundation by one 
Jane Doe®, who claims to be the creator of SCP-3120.

Interviewer: S - Kim, Deputy Director of 
Site-81 Communications (denoted here as K) 


Subject: Jane Doe, creator of SCP-3120 
(denoted here as D) 


[BEGIN LOG] 


K: Tell me again, please. We're recording 
now. 


D: Sure. | made this thing to access 
information. | think secrets are a kind of theft, 
you know? Anyway, | started to test it out. 


K: And could you please describe how you 
made it? 


D: | told you, it's hard to explain. |, you know, 
bought this phone, and | made it get 
information. | think it's not really changing what 
it can do so much as taking away things it 
can't do. Does that make any sense? 


K: | think that's for researchers to decide. 
You'll be working closely with them for the 
foreseeable future. 


D: You could just ask the Help Desk how | did 
it, you know. That might be easier. Not as 
secret, though. 


K: [three seconds of silence] |'|l pass your 
suggestion along. Next question: did you 
intend for it to publish all this information in 
news media? 


D: No. | didn't even know it was happening at 
first. After | got here, | looked back through 
some old newspapers, and I'd see shit like the 
mass of the sun, or how old Betty White is, or 
whatever, in the sports section of the New 
York Times or something. But | didn't know 
that was happening until that front page article. 


K: And which article was that? 


D: My Social Security Number. | figured, okay, 
the Help Desk can fetch me any information 
that Google can. That was the first step. But 
then | decided I'd try to fish for secrets, and my 
SSN seemed like the place to start. 


K: Front page news, right? 


D: Right. Not only was that number front page 
news the next day, everyone on TV was 
talking about it that night. | was fucking scared, 
dude. | called the Help Desk and asked it, you 
know, what the fuck? 


K: What did it tell you? 


D: It told me it was doing what | designed it to, 
bring secrets out into the open. And | told it 
"no, dumbass, | wanted to expose the fraud 
that the government or Wall Street or whoever 
is doing right now, not publish my fucking 
Social Security Number." 


K: What did it tell you? 


D: It told me, really politely too, that | was only 
saying that because it was my secrets being 
dug up. My Social Security Number? Like, 
seriously? That's not even interesting enough 
to be news, but hey, everyone in the world 
learned it anyway. 


K: Finally, if you'd tell me again how you found 
the Foundation. 


D: Well, | asked the Help Desk who to give the 
phone to, you know, to keep it safe, keep it 
from being misused. And it told me all about 
the Foundation, as well as exactly how to get 


to Site-81, how to get in, who to give it to, with 
a lot of detail, as well. All of that turned out to 
be right, and, well, sorry about the news 
stories the next day. 


K: I'm told you drained a lot of our resources 
with that stunt. That's no small feat. 


D: Well, | live in a cell now, and all my friends 
and family think I'm dead. So, you know, | got 
justice, if you want to call it that.

The following is a transcript of the call between 
S - Kim (denoted here as K) and 
SCP-3120-1 during the breach of SCP- from 
containment on / /2016. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


SCP-3120-1: Good morning, you've reached 
the Help Desk, what do you need to know 
today? 


K: The entity known as SCP- has breached 
containment. How can we re-establish 
containment with minimal casualties and drain 
on our resources? 


SCP-3120-1: Okay, just a second, please. 


[sounds of papers rustling on SCP-3120-1's 
end for 5 seconds.] 


SCP-3120-1: Alrighty then, | have it here. Do 


you have a pen and paper? 
K: Yes, I'm ready. 


SCP-3120-1: First, you'll want to make sure 
that the whole staff of Provisional Site- is 
blindfolded. You got that? 


K: | do, please continue. 


SCP-3120-1: Each of them should be 
assigned a zone around the Site, in a circle 
100 meters in diameter. They should all face 
inwards and hold air horns. Keeping up still? 


K: [mumbling] ...air horns. Got it. 


SCP-3120-1: The minute any of them hears a 
train whistle, they've got to blow the air horns 
as loud as they can, all around the circle. You 
get that? Everyone has to do it once they hear 
the first air horn. The sound ought to scare it 
back into its house. Betcha didn't know it was 
scared of loud noises, huh? 


K: We didn't. I'll get that added to its file. 


SCP-3120-1: Anything to keep reality from 
falling apart, right? 


K: Right. Thank you, I'll relay this right away. 
SCP-3120-1: Anything else | can do for you? 
K: No. Thank you for your help. 


SCP-3120-1: That's what I'm here for! 
[SCP-3120-1 ends the call.] 


[END LOG] 


Notes: SCP-___ was successfully re-contained 


watched from afar. 


While the candle burns, the user begins to lose body fat at the rate 
of one kilogram per five minutes. During this time the length of the 
candle remains constant, although in an enclosed area the air will 
heat significantly and become oxygen depleted and sooty. The 
candle will continue to burn, however, until it is either extinguished 
or the user has no body fat remaining. 


If the candle is still lit at the point where there is no longer any body 
fat, the candle will diminish in length and the user's body will start to 
desiccate and harden, with death occurring in the first ten minutes. 
This event does not wake the user. The flesh will eventually attain 
the consistency of dried meat, and the scent of the candle will 
change: witnesses describe it as akin to a Smokehouse or a 
barbeque, although the odor of incense is still reported. The candle 
flame will continue to burn down to the user's remains unless 
extinguished. The corpse will burn as quickly as dried kindling, 
leaving only a small amount of fine ash. 


When testing in a well-ventilated area, the column of smoke and 
vapor emitted by the candle is not deflected normally by ambient air 
currents, up to and including heavy rain and crosswinds in excess of 
80 km/h. Instead, it drifts steadily in a straight line following a 
compass bearing unique to the time and location of use. If allowed 
to orient themselves before lighting the candle, users always lie 
parallel to this line. Attempts to triangulate the destination of the 
vapor column have been unsuccessful, suggesting that the "target" 
is moving. 


Addendum 394-1: SCP-394 was discovered in 20 atthe post 
office in , ,aSapackage marked as undeliverable. The 
address in question, , had been consumed in a fire six days 
prior. The circumstances of the fire, especially [REDACTED], led to 
the Foundation being contacted by embedded assets. The package 
had labeling consistent with orders filled through A M ; 
although the company had no corresponding records. The return 
address for the shipment was erroneous, and so the package 
remained at the dead letter office until obtained by Agent T 


Addendum 394-2: One instance of SCP-394 was disassembled for 


with no casualties. Its containment procedures 
have been updated based on the new 
information provided by SCP-3120-1. 


An anti-meme to suppress knowledge of SCP- 
was perfected three weeks later, on / 
/2016. By that time, disinformation campaigns 
were judged to be successful; the SCP- 
anti-meme was not disseminated, but is still on 
file. 


Level 5/3120 Briefing 


It should be noted that not every use of SCP-3120 is a 
success. Its file states that it has been used on four 
separate occasions; in reality it is believed to have been 
activated twenty times or more. 


In June of 2018, SCP-Chi-9898 breached containment at 
Provisional Site-Chi-98 in Alvea, the capital of Sweden. 
A person with Level 5/3120 clearance broadcasted a 
3120-Omicron signal to attempt to re-establish 
containment. 


SCP-3120-1 informed the caller that the city of Alvea 
was to be destroyed, along with its population of more 
than one million civilians. The Foundation had received 
accurate information from SCP-3120-1 in the past, and 
therefore complied. The procedures were successful, 
and SCP-Chi-9898 was completely neutralized. There 
are no known survivors from the city of Alvea.
