Woman: She hated you for letting her brother 
die. | found her crying over one of his pictures 
one night, and she said that she would never 
forgive you for that. 


Man: How could you? How dare you? I—I'Il— 


At this point in time, Agent Barnes reports that 
several anomalous individuals gather behind 
the man. These individuals appear to lack 
mouths. All individuals appear to be holding 
lanterns in their left hands. 


Man: You’re lying to me. Provoking me to 
attack you, so that the Library makes me pay. 


Woman: Am |? 


« SCP-246 | SCP-247 | SCP-248 » 


Man: You’re not a God, or a hero, or a...a 
Great Sage Equal to Heaven, that stupid title... 
Don't you understand? It doesn't matter what 
your ancestor did. They write books and 
worship him, not you. You're like me. You’re 
scared and weak, and you’re terrified that I'll 
find out exactly how weak you are. What have 
you done? You almost brought down heaven? 
You never did that. He did. 


Woman: You're calling me weak? That's 
hilarious. 


Man: You know, if you want to disagree with 
me, maybe, maybe you should live through 
what I’m trying to prevent. Maybe if you want 
to act like you're as big as your forefather, 
maybe you should live through what he went 
through. See...see? You really are his 
descendant. For his hubris, he was trapped 
under a mountain of the five elements. And | 
guess I'm the Buddha. 


The man whistles. A doorway appears in a 
bookshelf next to the man. 


Woman: A Way? How did you— 


Man: I'm doing you a service, all right? You'll 
find peace. I’m sorry. 


<End Log> 


Afterword: Agent Barnes is strongly 
convinced that the transcribed events are not 
his memories, and are instead the memories 
of the woman. Agent Barnes reports that, at 
various points in the memory, the woman's 
limbs can be seen as if from a first-person 
point of view. 


Before using paramedication, Agent Barnes 
had symptoms consistent with phantom limb 
syndrome in his lower back. After transcribing 
the interview, Agent Barnes claimed to have 
remembered having a monkey’s tail 
throughout the event. Later, his phantom limb 
symptoms disappeared.

SCP-2179: False Alarm 


Item #: SCP-2179 
Object Class: Safe Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2179 must be monitored 
at all times and kept loaded with ticker-tape to ensure maximum 
notice of an 2179-A event; within ten minutes of such an event, 
Foundation agents must be present at Zone 2179. If this fails, at 
least two MTFs are to be dispatched to Zone 2179 immediately, and 
both the Leicestershire Police and the Ministry of Defence notified in 
case further reinforcements are required. 


Description: SCP-2179 is a modified fire alarm bell, currently 
located in an observation chamber at Site 18. Attached to the device 
is a ticker-tape machine; both the bell and the tape machine are 
labelled as being produced in 1927. 


A 2179-A event occurs when either a potential threat to human lives 
or an anomalous object/phenomenon (or both) are detected within 
120m of the main entrance to Kibworth Harcourt Primary School, in 
Leicestershire, UK (hereafter referred to as Zone 2179). The bell 
rings at 75 decibels at a distance of 5m, and continues until the 
hazard has been contained or is no longer relevant; ticker tape is 
dispensed summarising the threat. 


The following is a series of excerpts from the official incident log; 
see LOG-2179-INCD for full details. 


Incident-01 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: CONFLAGRATION 
INVOLVING MULTIPLE HUMAN DWELLINGS 

Notes: Faulty wiring in the electrical system resulted in a 
small fire, destroying the cardboard castles made by 
Form 3b. No further damage discovered. 


Incident-02 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: MOTOR VEHICLE 
COLLISION VICTIM COUNT 32 

Notes: While reversing, the school bus collided with the 
headmaster's car, a Honda Civic. One child suffered 
concussion; the car's rear bumper was dented 
noticeably. 


Incident-03 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: ANOMALY DETECTED 
IMMOVABLE OBJECT 

Notes: Lid of jam jar stuck and unable to be removed. 
While field tests seemed to corroborate SCP-2179’s 
summary, further analysis at Site-18 succeeded in 
removing the lid by applying warm water and a dishcloth. 


No actual proof of threat to human life or anomalous objects was 
obtained throughout Incidents 01 through 08; response to 2179-A 
events was set at priority LOW. 


Incident-09 


Time: 13:45 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: ANOMALY MULTIPLE 
UNIDENTIFIED CANIDS IN ZONE 

Notes: No deployment of Foundation assets. 


Time: 13:55 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: CANIDS LAUNCHING 
UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON HUMANS 

Notes: No deployment of Foundation assets. 


Time: 13:56 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: MULTIPLE CASUALTIES 
IN CANID ATTACK 

Notes: No deployment of Foundation assets. 


Time: 13:57 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: 5+ DEAD HUMANS AS 
RESULT OF CANID ATTACK 

Notes: Official sources in the Kibworth Harcourt area 


confirmed the summary; deployment of Foundation 
assets, and arrival at 14:10. Unidentified canids were 
discovered and subdued; civilian casualties numbered 7 
dead and 9 injured. Canid specimens (both alive and 
deceased) were returned to Site-18 for examination; the 
field report describes them as 120kg specimens and 
mottled-grey in colouration, but on arrival at Site-18 they 
were immediately identified as two dead Yorkshire 
Terriers and one sedated Cocker Spaniel. 


After Incident-09, response to 2179-A event was set at priority 
URGENT, and current containment procedures enacted.

SCP-2180: The Living Cave Painting 


Item #: SCP-2180 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to the cave 
SCP-2180 is located in is to be closed off with a steel hatch, with 
guards patrolling an area of 100 meters around it. Any additional 
entrances to the cave system are to be closed off in the same 
manner. Any non-Foundation personnel who find the cave entrance 
or enter the cave system are to be warded away with the most 
applicable cover story (view Document 2180-1K9 for a full list). Non- 
Foundation personnel who see SCP-2180 are to be administered 
Class-A amnestics. SCP-2180 is to be monitored daily with cameras 
for new events in the painting or possible changes in its nature. 


Description: SCP-2180 is a cave painting located in a cave system 
in, Austria. The painting covers an area 10 meters high and 16 
meters long on one of the cave walls. It is unknown when SCP-2180 
was made, but the art resembles Paleolithic Era cave paintings 
drawn by early humans. The colors used are those typical of the 
time period. On the left side of SCP-2180 is a mountain, with a cross 
section of a cave network inside it. Located in one of the deeper 
areas of the cave is the number "2067," which is etched onto the 
cave wall in Arabic numerals. Starting at the base of the mountain is 
a forest, which covers the middle area of SCP-2180. On the right 
side is a field. The top quarter features a sky, which contains 
illustrations that are analogous to a sun and moon. Humans and 
animals from the Paleolithic Era are present in SCP-2180. Based on 
current observations SCP-2180 doesn't take place in any specific 
location or time during the era, and has fauna from different 
continents. 


All organisms in SCP-2180 are animate, and will interact with each 
other and the environment. Humans have been observed to hunt for 


food, eat, sleep, light fires, and interact with each other. Animals 
have been observed to eat food and, depending on the species, 
hunt. Both have been observed to reproduce. Plant life has been 
observed to grow and wither. Neither water nor drinking have been 
observed. Animals will often cross the painting's horizon, but 
humans rarely do. 


SCP-2180 has a day-night cycle, with the sun and moon moving on 
and off the sides of the painting (right side to left side). During the 
painting's night, the sky changes from the color of the cave wall to a 
dark gray. The day-night cycle of SCP-2180 corresponds with 
Central European Time. Weather and lunar cycles do not appear to 
occur. 


Paint samples taken from SCP-2180 have no known anomalous 
properties. Uranium-series dating of SCP-2180 suggests that the 
painting is 2.5 billion years old, predating any known human 
civilization. 


Addendum: 
+ Record of Important Observations of SCP-2180 


10/6/  - 2:43 PM: One of the human males 
breaks his spear, and begins to build a new 
one. First recorded instance of humans 
crafting tools. 


10/8/ - 5:21 PM: A group of four humans 
successfully kill a Smilodon. Said Smilodon 
had been seen roaming near the mountain on 
multiple occasions. The hide is made into 
clothing and the corpse is brought to the cave 
to be eaten. The humans appear to rejoice. 
One of the hunters dies from injuries he 
suffered. 


10/8/ -6:35 PM: What resembles to be a 
funeral is held for the dead hunter. He is 
buried at the base of the mountain. 


10/10/ -9:21 AM: One of the adult humans 
teaches a child how to make tools, and shows 
him various animals. First recorded instance of 
teaching. 


10/13/ -11:13 AM: The animals in the forest 
all pause and stare at the sky. After four 
minutes they stop. 


10/16/ -10:01 PM: The humans begin 
dancing around the fire in the cave. First 
recorded instance of ceremonies being 
performed. 


10/18/ - 7:03 AM: A gold colored Glyptodon 
enters the forest from the right side of the 
painting, after moving through the field. 
Animals avoid the creature. This is the first 
observation of colors not used in Paleolithic 
art. 


10/18/ -9:43 AM: The gold Glyptodon 
breaks apart and appears to die. Animals and 
humans continue to avoid the remains. 


10/21/  -8:31 PM: One of the children in the 
cave attempts to explore the caves, but one of 
the adults stops him. The adult scolds the 
child, and both go back to the camp fire. 


10/23/ -10:52 AM: A group of humans enter 
the field from the right of the painting. They 
construct makeshift tents and begin to hunt 
animals. This is the first time humans outside 
of the main group have been seen. 


10/23/  - 12:23 PM: The humans from the 
cave encounter the humans from the field. 
They regard each other warily, but begin to 
interact. After ten minutes they begin to 
socialize. 


10/23/ -6:47 PM: After socialization, both 
groups return to their homes. 


10/24/ -6:08 AM: A blue fire with a white 
circle in the center of it appears in the fields. 
After three minutes it vanishes. 


10/27/ -8:09 AM: The humans from the field 
begin a small farm to grow berries. The 
humans from the cave appear to be intrigued 
by this. This is the first observation of farming 
in SCP-2180. 


10/28/ -1:21 PM: The cave humans start to 
work on making a farm near the mountain, with 
the field humans apparently aiding them. No 
water appears to be used in either farm. 


10/28/ - 2:25 PM: A deer (exact species 
unknown) attempts to eat the berries of the 
cave humans, and is warded away. A fence is 
constructed around the farm. This the first time 
the cave humans have been seen to build 
structures. 


10/29/. - 3:14 AM: Eight purple ovals appear 
around the moon. After one minute they 
vanish. 


11/1/_  - 8:28 AM: The field humans begin 
building a primitive wooden hut. After several 
hours it is completed. 


11/2/ -9:41 AM: The cave humans begin 
chopping down trees to expand their farm. The 
remains of the gold Glyptodon have become a 
rust color, and have broken apart into smaller 
pieces. Humans and animals appear to be less 
cautious around the remains. 


11/3/  - 2:57 AM: A black circle appears 


underneath one of the sleeping field humans, 
and a black humanoid figure steps out of it. 
The figure grabs the human and pulls him into 
the circle. Following this the circle fades away. 


11/3/  - 7:05 AM: The field humans begin 
searching for their missing member. After five 
hours they give up. One of the females 
appears upset. 


11/4/ - 11:50 AM: One of the cave humans 
kicks some dirt and uncovers a silver sliver in 
the ground. He attempts to pick it up and fails, 
and begins digging with his hands. At this time 
a short-faced bear begins to attack the field 
humans. 


11/4/.  - 11:53 AM: The man digging is 
interrupted by one of the field humans, who 
leads him to their settlement. The man who 
was digging assists in fighting off the bear. 
After five minutes the bear runs away. 


11/4/ -11:56 AM: The man from the cave 
returns to the spot where he was digging. 
Three other hunters from the cave assist him 


in digging. 


11/4/ -5:08 PM: The cave humans succeed 
in digging up most of the object. The object 
resembles a nuclear warhead. 


11/4/ -5:31 PM: The cave and field humans 
meet around the object and talk. The field 
humans appear frightened by it, and an 
altercation starts. After an hour both return to 
their homes. 


11/5/ + -6:41 AM: The field humans leave 
their home, and head over the horizon. The 
cave humans do not investigate. 


SCP-248: 110% 


Item #: SCP-248 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-248 is to be kept in a fire- 
proof safe in Dr. Mize's office unless being used directly for testing 
purposes. The safe has a keypad-style opening mechanism. Any 
personnel of at least Level 2 Security Clearance have full permission 
to access SCP-248, as the numeric code is [REDACTED]. 


Description: SCP-248 is a twenty-five (25) page booklet of stickers, 
each reading "110%" with a small pressed imprint of the words "The 
Factory" in the bottom right corner. The booklet itself is 7.5 cm in 
height and 15 cm in length. Each page of SCP-248 contains two (2) 
of the stickers, making a total of what would be fifty (50), but 
circumstances before its discovery have left only forty-nine (49) 
stickers. 


SCP-248 was discovered at a small house in , Georgia. The 
object came to the Foundation's attention after one (1) of the 
stickers was placed on an old, half disassembled tractor in the 
family's barn by the youngest son, Ronnie __. The tractor was 
suddenly able to operate as if it were fully functional, despite lacking 
much of the engine and frame. Agents removed SCP-248 and the 
tractor from the family in exchange for a bogus coupon for free 
pesticides for the farm. The family was administered standard Class 
A amnestics and left alive. 


Dr. Mize received SCP-248 upon its arrival to Site- and took deep 
interest in its apparent abilities. The tractor is now labeled 
SCP-248-1. See Addendum 248-01 for testing of SCP-248-1. 


Testing of SCP-248 has been approved by Dr. Mize. See 
Addendum-248-02 and below for preliminary tests. 


11/6/  - 4:12 AM: A blue flame burns the 
field, and the cave humans wake up and watch 
from their cave. After two hours the field and 
the structures there are gone and replaced 
with ash. Occasionally, blue dots appear there. 


11/7/  - 5:06 PM: One of the adults goes into 
one of the deeper areas of the cave and opens 
a locked box which was previously hidden 
behind a large rock. He pulls out a worn down 
book with the letters "SCP" on it. He gathers 
the children around and begins to show them 
the contents of it, which show drawings and 
labels for anomalies contained by the 
Foundation. He flips to a page about K 
scenario, and points outside of the cave. The 
children seem shocked.
