-10 minutes Double-checking equations for first test. 
Cameras set up in the abandoned Field. Video 
reception good. | can set the anomaly for a maximum of 
120 minutes before my calculations break down. Proof 
not yet complete enough to affect change on a larger 
scale. 

-5 minutes Setting up device. Manufacture sub- 
standard. Outsourced labor and parts evident upon 
examination. While undergraduates provide an abundant 
source of compliant free labor, the results are 
disappointing. 

-2 minutes Device functional. Seems like an anomaly in 
itself. The success of the test now relies on my 
calculations. 

0:00 If the radiance of a thousand suns/ Were to burst 
forth at once from the sky/ It would be like the splendor

"Inertia's a bitch". 

20:45 Unexpected development: Paramilitary squad

they were sent to research the anomaly. 

21:57 First casualty. Others acting with more caution.

+ LEVEL 3 CLEARANCE REQUIRED 
Date: 29 July 201 


Description: On the 29th of July, years after 
Dr. Jaywadena's disappearance, Foundation 
astronomers observed various anomalies 
affecting the system, approximately 
lightyears away from Earth. Due to the nature 
of these anomalies, they are presumed to be 
the work of continued refinement of SCP-1714. 
The following observation log details the 
observed changes to the system. 


00:00- Exoplanets -a, -b, -c, -d, and -e 
deviate from their usual orbits around 

and move into the same plane of rotation. 
00:37- Exoplanet rotation deviates further. 
New orbits are observed to be perfect circles 


with radius equal to the periapsis of the old 
orbits. Neither the mass of or any of 
these exoplanets have been observed to 
change. No magnetic forces from are 
observed to act on any of the planets. 
01:30- Objects within the system that 
are not the star itself or any of its associated 
exoplanets suddenly lose their mass and 
accelerate out of the system at the 
speed of light. Once AU from , the 
various asteroids and comets suddenly 
decelerate and exert gravitational pull. 
21:00- Every remaining object in the 
system becomes a perfect sphere. 
30:47- -d and -a, the second and 
fourth planet from , Collide. Instead of 
deforming around each other, the two planets 
appear to bounce off of each other with no 
observable damage to either planet. No 
increase in thermal radiation from either planet 
is observed. The tangential velocities of both 
planets observed not to change except in 
direction after the collision. -a, the 
smaller planet, continues on a path out of the 
system. No further changes to the 
system affect -a. 
42:54- and its remaining four exoplanets 
suddenly shrink into infinitesimally small 
points. Orbits do not change. does not 
supernova. 
1:00:30- [DATA EXPUNGED] 
1:20:10- Foundation astronomers confirm 
through [REDACTED] that electromagnetic 
radiation from the system [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. Researchers speculate that 
observed events in the system are 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. The O5 Council is 
notified and preparations are made for a XK- 
class scenario. 
1:45:00 supernovas. The system 


appears to return to its original state with 
intact. However, Foundation astronomer Dr. 
Amy _ warns that this may be a reversal of 
the [DATA EXPUNGED] observed earlier. 
Observation of the system will continue 
to be atop priority until 20 , whenthis Dr. — 's 
conjecture will be proven or disproven. 


SCP classification of the system 
pending. 


Addendum-02 Since Dr. Jaywadena’'s disappearance, materials 
similar in content to SCP-1714 but lacking the sporadic author's 
notes have surfaced at educational institutions from research 
universities to community colleges to, in one documented case, a 
high school. These documents are written in the format of a textbook 
at a level appropriate to the point of acquisition and appear to be an 
introduction to the esoteric concepts required to understand 
SCP-1714. Reclassification to Keter requested. 


Granted. -O5-8

SCP-1715: Online Friend 


Item #: SCP-1715 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation-operated web 
analysis bot Gamma-84 ("ANTIBEN") is to be kept in constant 
operation and checked for defects twice a week by a Level-2 staff 
member. When functional, the bot will search a wide range of online 
message boards for posts created by individuals previously declared 
deceased. If a manifestation of SCP-1715 on a website is confirmed, 
the bot will initiate a distributed denial-of-service attack against the 
site until Foundation personnel are able to either permanently 
remove the site from operation or convince the site's administrators 
that SCP-1715 is a person of malicious intent. A list of convincing 
cover stories for the latter procedure can be found in Document 
1715-63. 


Description: SCP-1715 is an anomalous entity that sporadically 
joins and integrates itself into small online communities such as 
message boards and wiki databases. SCP-1715 uses a different 
name on each website it joins; however, every recorded username 
chosen by the entity has either included the word" "or been 
thematically linked to . All efforts to trace SCP-1715's source 
have failed. It is currently unknown whether SCP-1715 is a corporeal 
entity accessing the internet from a physical location or an 
incorporeal phenomenon that exists only on the internet itself. 


SCP-1715 describes itself differently from manifestation to 
manifestation, but always claims to be between 15 and 30 years of 
age. SCP-1715 typically targets small, but growing web communities 
that are centered around video games, television programs, musical 
groups, and similar interests. SCP-1715 primarily targets English- 
speaking communities, although manifestations on non-English 
websites have also been documented.! SCP-1715 has proven 
capable of manifesting on as many as 9 websites at once; it is 


currently unknown if this is the extent of its limitations or merely the 
highest number of cases observed by the Foundation. 


For the most part, SCP-1715 uses proper grammar, spelling, 
punctuation, and spelling, with only occasional errors, and displays a 
high level of knowledge surrounding the topic of the website it is 
participating in. Other members of the online communities 
frequented by SCP-1715 generally consider it to be affable, polite, 
enthusiastic, and helpful. Because of its attractive personality and 
active level of participation, SCP-1715 will often become a highly 
respected user on websites within a relatively short amount of time. 
On a number of occasions, SCP-1715 has been promoted to 
positions of authority by site administrators. 


SCP-1715 begins to show anomalous properties once it has 
established itself as a presence on an online community, usually 
within eight weeks of its initial join date. At that time, SCP-1715 will 
send a number of private messages to other site members, 
beginning with other popular users. These messages generally 
begin with a declaration of friendship, followed by fabricated details 
regarding SCP-1715's personal life, and end with a request for the 
recipient's personal information. If the user ignores the message or 
responds without providing any factual personal details, no 
anomalous effects will take place. If the user provides SCP-1715 
with factual personal information, the user and their account will 
become instances of SCP-1715-1 and SCP-1715-2, respectively. 


Within two weeks of responding to SCP-1715's message, instances 
of SCP-1715-1 will be injured in a violent incident. Such occurrences 
have included accidents, homicides, and suicides. Although these 
incidents usually result in immediate death, there have been cases 
of SCP-1715-1 instances being rendered comatose, brain dead, or 
similarly incapacitated. Investigations performed by local law 
enforcement units and Foundation agents have determined all 
deaths to be apparently non-anomalous in nature and explainable 
by forensic evidence. In one case, Foundation investigators found 
evidence that an individual had started planning his murder several 
years before the SCP-1715-1 victim had ever joined a message 
board. It is currently unknown if SCP-1715 is somehow influencing 
these events or if it actively seeks out individuals it knows will die. 


After an instance of SCP-1715-1 is deceased or otherwise 
incapacitated, the corresponding instance of SCP-1715-2 will remain 
active in its respective online communities, posting content that is 
consistent with SCP-1715-1's personality and writing style. 
Instances of SCP-1715-2 possess the same memories as their 
counterparts up until the time of their death, but deny that they are, 
in fact, dead (often accusing the inquiring party of being a "troll"2). 
SCP-1715-2 discuss the same topics as their living counterparts, 
with the exception that they will occasionally post messages that 
could be interpreted as references to their deceased state (see 
Addendum). 


Instances of SCP-1715-2 remain active and prolific members until 
such time that SCP-1715 announces its departure from the website. 
Once this takes place, all instances of SCP-1715-2 will reply to the 
announcement with various well-wishes and goodbyes before 
immediately ceasing all anomalous activity. Beyond their apparently 
symbiotic connection to SCP-1715, there does not appear to be a 
limit to the amount of time SCP-1715-2 can remain active: one 
group remained active for 11 years, analyzing and discussing 
episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on a daily basis until the site 
was eventually shut down by Foundation personnel. 


Addendum: The following are examples of posts by SCP-1715-2 
that could be interpreted as referencing their deceased state. 


SCP-1715-2-45 


User: "Tungsten", real name Daniel , age 16. 

Cause of death: Fall from a balcony. 

Context: Posted in a discussion thread about allergies, responding 
to a user who complained of severe sinus headaches. 


Ugh. My head starts killing me as soon as fall 
is over. 


| can sympathize with that. :P 
SCP-1715-2-88 


User: "PaviovsLemur", real name Tyler , age 22. 


Cause of death: Blood loss. 

Context: Users were speculating the outcome of the series finale of 
the television drama Lost. After a user criticized one of Tyler's 
theories, a third user then came to Tyler's defense. 


No, no, it's cool. | just need to think outside the box. 
...Except | can't really do anything outside the box. I'm 
kinda stuck, actually. Except I'm not. 


Sorry, | started rambling again. Anyway, don't worry 
dude. It was a bad idea. I'm not cut up about it or 
anything. Except...never mind. Forget it. I'll be cool with 
anything as long as Jack makes it out okay somehow. 


SCP-1715-2-109 


User: "xXxLionTearsxXx", realname Rebecca __, age 14. 
Cause of death: Decapitation. 

Context: Posted in a discussion thread where users were 
encouraged to post pictures of what their faces look like. 


uh, i don't think that's really possible for me... lol 


Communication Log: Under the username "CarMichael", Agent 
Mallager engaged SCP-1715 in conversation on 07/29/2012 via an 
internet relay chat application. SCP-1715 had recently become a 
moderator on [REDACTED].net, an online discussion board for fans 
of the Final Fantasy video game series, and was serving as an 
operator for the site's official chatroom at the time Agent Mallager 
made contact.

18:50 CarMichael Hello 

18:50 StephenFoster Hey there. Need something? 
18:50 CarMichael asl? 

18:50 StephenFoster Uhh... 18, male, Michigan. 


18:51 CarMichael whats your real name? 
18:51 StephenFoster Brian Parker. Why do you ask? 
18:51 CarMichael Just curious 


18:51 StephenFoster Okay then... 


18:52 CarMichael Because when we chatted back 
on the Maple Story board, you called yourself Cameron 
Thomas. 

18:53 StephenFoster Ah. It's you guys again. 

18:53 StephenFoster You know cyberstalking is 
illegal, right? 

18:54 CarMichael Why are you killing people? 
18:54 StephenFoster WHOA there!! | haven't 
touched anybody 

18:55 StephenFoster I'm just a lonely guy who likes 
to talk about Final Fantasy and occasionally Maple Story. 
Is that so wrong? :) 

18:56 CarMichael What are you doing to them? 
18:56 StephenFoster You mean my friends? | didn't 
hurt them or anything. Real life just kept getting in the 
way for them. 

18:56 StephenFoster They were always saying they 
wished they could spend more time online. 

18:57 CarMichael Who are you really? 

18:57 StephenFoster Dude. Stop. It's against site 
rules to harass people for their personal information. 
18:57 StephenFoster Of course I'm not going to tell 
you who | really am. 

18:57 StephenFoster After all, you could be anyone!

Following Agent Mallager's conversation, SCP-1715 created a forum 
post announcing its departure from the website. The thread received 
39 responses, no fewer than 26 of which are believed to have been 
written by deceased individuals. 


Footnotes 

1. In June of 2014, SCP-1715 manifestations were confirmed on 
several Russian and Chinese websites, with SCP-1715 observed to 
be communicating fluently in each site's respective language. Prior 
to this discovery, it was believed that SCP-1715 exclusively targeted 
English-speaking communities. 

2. An internet user who intentionally tries to provoke a negative 


emotional response from another user.

SCP-1716: Imperfect Life Extender 


Item #: SCP-1716 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1716 is stored in 
Containment Vault 43 at Site-71. Testing is allowed using D-Class 
subjects only (both as donor and recipient) and requires approval of 
the Site Director. Additional security should be present due to 
possible unforeseen anomalies among recipients of SCP-1716 
treatment. 


SCP-1716-1 is held in Containment Vault 45 pending approval of 
testing protocol by the Foundation Ethics Committee. It is not to be 
connected or experimented on until such protocol is finalized. 


Description: SCP-1716 is a set of two wooden chairs, both 
connected by multiple copper and [REDACTED] wires to an 
anomalous electronic device. A set of contacts (resembling electrical 
contacts, but composed of non-conductive [REDACTED)) are 
attached to two test subjects (one in each chair) when SCP-1716 is 
in operation. 


The apparent intent of SCP-1716 is to transfer "life energy" from a 
donor to a recipient, making the recipient healthier at the expense of 
weakening the donor. SCP-1716 violates most known physical and 
biological principles, apparently operating on the theory that life 
force is a transmissible form of energy similar to electricity. A 
number of unidentified components in the central device facilitate 
the transfer. 


Experimentation has demonstrated that SCP-1716 is flawed in 
several ways: 


¢ Life energy transfer operates at approximately 10% efficiency 
i.e. a donor would be aged the equivalent of 10 years to make
