Special Containment Procedures: SCP-412 is currently contained 
within Storage Unit-11 at Site-19; removal of the item requires 
authorization by no fewer than three (3) personnel with Level-3 
clearance, and may be vetoed by Site Security. Gloves should be 
worn when handling SCP-412 and the item should be transported in 
an opaque container. 


Staff interaction must be carried out with full observance of Hazmat 
Protocol 7-R. Any and all staff making physical contact with or direct 
observation of SCP-412 will submit to a full physical examination. 
Anyone found to exhibit physical alteration will be remanded 
immediately to quarantine. 


Description: SCP-412 is an antique silver hand mirror measuring 
18 cm by 7 cm. The mirror has a 4 cm crack in the top left hand 
corner, and has an etched motif of roses and vines. Around % of 
subjects within direct line of sight of SCP-412 report a compulsion to 
pick up the item and view their reflection in it. There does not appear 
to be a discernible pattern to the 'selections' - testing for possible 
genetic, mental, or other selection markers is ongoing. 


Simultaneous observation and contact with SCP-412 causes the 
item to 'connect' with the subject, regardless of whether they have 
been coerced into doing so by SCP-412. Tests using restrained 
subjects have shown that both actions (touching and viewing the 
reflection) are necessary for a connection to be made. No means of 
‘severing’ this connection have been found, short of complete 
isolation for a period of no less than two years. 


Connected subjects are compelled to repeatedly view their reflection 
in SCP-412, initially only once or twice a day. Viewing frequency 


by security personnel, after terminating 
multiple research staff including Dr.

Notes: "It's still necessary we keep 
samples of 3229-B on site. If we can find 
out which part of their mutagen causes the 
host to gain that impressive level of 
strength, we could use it for our own 
means. Imagine a soldier with the ability to 
rip apart Kevlar with their bare hands. You 
can't say we couldn't use that." - Dr. Iseigo 


SCP-3229-B organisms are opportunistic, but unable to infect a 
resisting host, due to a lack of physical strength. As a result, 
implantation is often undertaken upon captured hosts by SCP-3229- 
A entities. SCP-3229-B implantation is treated in a ritualistic fashion 
by SCP-3229-A instances. This is hypothesised to be due to the 
relationship between SCP-3229-B and SCP-3229-O. 


SCP-3229-O is an unidentified aquatic organism of unknown size 
and origin. Recovered sources refer to it as a god within the 
pantheon of the archipelago's original civilisation. It is similarly 
responsible for the creation of SCP-3229-B and, by proxy, 
SCP-3229-A. Recovered sources also state that only one 
SCP-3229-O instance remains, with the rest of the pantheon now 
extinct. While no physical encounters with SCP-3229-O have been 
made, it is probable that an SCP-3229-O entity exists. Protocol 
Alert-27 has been established to contain/neutralise a possible 
hostile SCP-3229-O entity.

Addendum 3229/02-1DA 

As of 17/10/_ , Area 55 has been assaulted twice by large groups of 
SCP-3229-A entities. Further security resources are to be 
dispatched to Area 55 and made available to MTF lota-13 and MTF 
Beta-44. Due to the inefficient nature of current munitions against 
SCP-3229-A, gyro-jet rounds are to be assigned to all MTF units. 
The Area 55 armoury must replace all unnecessary small arms with 
high calibre or explosive weaponry. Further expansion of the Area 
55 perimeter is not to be attempted until sufficient reinforcements 
are acquired. 


Addendum 3229/-O_025 

As of 07/05/ __, three surveyed islands to the south-east of Area 55 
have been sunk. Included in these islands was Research Outpost 
34. Preliminary reports indicate 97% of on site staff were lost. MTF 
Gamma-6 were the first to respond to the event, picking up 5 
survivors. All surviving personnel were exposed to a cognitohazard 
and were unable to provide further insight into the event. MTF 
Gamma-6 has requested additional resources be allocated for 
Protocol Alert-27. Area 55 has in addition been provided with on-site 
nuclear warheads as required by the updated Protocol Alert-27. 
Further seismic activity of this magnitude is expected.

Interviewed: Agent Deveruex, 


MTF Gamma-6 


Interviewer: , MTF 
Gamma-6 Command 


Foreword: On the initial 
encounter and threat assessment 
of SCP-3229-O. 


Begin Log 


G-6 Com: Agent, for the record, 
please recount initial contact with 
SCP-3229-O. 


Deveruex: Yes sir. We were on 
board the submersible when the 
entity made contact, we'd just- 


G-6 Com: Agent, please name 
the submersible. 


Deveruex: It was the SCPF 
Thurston, she was designed for 
stealth operations. Seemed like it 
worked fine for dodging the 
fishies; sorry sir, the -A's. Anyway 
we were a long way out and really 
fucking deep. | can't remember 
the exact depth. We'd just passed 
several submerged ruins that we 
were translating and cataloguing. 
Looked like one of the 
settlements above ground, but it'd 
been sunk somehow. 


G-6 Com: What did you find in 
this submerged area? 


Deveruex: A lot of intel on the -O. 


Accounts on the -B's being used 
to turn people into fishies, so they 
could be closer to their god. We 
also had info on the -O's 
influence. The fishies are 
worshippers, and from what we 
could glean from the texts, they 
can receive commands. The 
whole place seemed like some 
sort of library, with records on 
everything. We even got it's 
name, . We were maybe a 
tenth of the way through when 
something hit the hull and we 
stopped. 


G-6 Com: And this was the -O 
entity? 


Deveruex: No, it was a -A, but 
not your usual fishie. He had this 
weird robe on, we couldn't tell if it 
was Clothing or part of his body. 
Molinero took three guys down 
into the airlock, they were ready 
to take the thing out. It just swam 
in, calm as anything, didn't even 
seem to notice the guys. It was 
mumbling shit, in it's own 
language. We assumed it was the 
same as those glyphs, the same 
language | mean. Nobody knew 
how to translate that shit, it's only 
ever been read so the fact it was 
speaking to us, just weirded 
everyone out. 


G-6 Com: None of the crew had 
any idea what the -A was saying? 


Deveruex: I'm telling you sir, the 


whole situation was just nuts. We 
didn't think those things could be 
passive. It kept mumbling and 
mumbling. Molinero was asking if 
they could lock it in as partial 
containment. Then out of 
nowhere it started getting 
agitated. Not hostile, but the 
chants were getting louder. It 
sounded like it was scared. 


G-6 Com: And this was when the 
-O entity made contact, correct? 


Deveruex: [Pause] Do we have 
permission to smoke in here sir? 


G-6 Com: Agent, please answer 
the question. 


Deveruex: Yeah, that's when the 
thing hit us. Whole sub rocked to 
the side. Molinero and the others 
got blown out of the airlock. Some 
kind of fucking tentacle grabbed 
them. | never got a good look; but 
you could tell the thing was big. It 
had the sub pinned, completely 
dead in the water. 


G-6 Com: And it was at this point 
the Thurston attempted to 
engage? 


Deveruex: It had 400 millimetre 
torpedoes, two of 'em. They're 
designed to tear through 
warships. They hit the thing, it 
bled, but it didn't even seem to 
notice. Launched the 553's too; 
just made the thing angry. | saw 


those munitions hit it, blow open a 
part of it. The thing's body just 
morphed, contorted. It repaired 
the damage and grew some new 
body part. That's when | got off 
the bridge. 


G-6 Com: So what was your next 
course of action. 


Deveruex: | was gearing up to try 
lead the thing away with some 
divers, distract it maybe. Then the 
bridge got hit. Must've been a 
cognitohazard or something 
because they all fucking lost it. 
People were already freaking out, 
the sub was being crushed. The 
bridge crew going nuts just made 
everything worse. They were 
broadcasting it over the intercom 
while the -O was squeezing the 
sub. 


G-6 Com: But you had already 
seen the -O, how were you not 
affected? 


Deveruex: I've no idea sir. Maybe 
| didn't see enough of it. Maybe it 
was just a fucking miracle. | don't 
know. 


G-6 Com: What were the 
cognitohazardous effects of -O 
that you witnessed? 


Deveruex: They were all fucking 
babbling sir, it was just like the 
fishie we picked up. One of the 
lieutenants was clawing his eyes 


out, kept saying he could feel 
something slithering behind them. 
Fujimori was up there as well. 
Poor bastard had pretty high 
resistance too, he was trained for 
these situations. He was trying to 
surface, to get away from the 
thing. He saved everyone on that 
boat. 


G-6 Com: What was Captain 
situation? 


S 


Deveruex: The Cap was the 
worst. He was on the ground, 
fetal position and everything. He 
was just mumbling to himself, it 
wasn't even fucking English. He 
was speaking the same language 
as the fishie; just shaking on the 
floor and chanting the same three 
things over and over. 


G-6 Com: So how was the entity 
incapacitated? 


Deveruex: It wasn't. The diving 
team went out without me. The 
fishie we picked up was in there 
still, no idea how. They just 
grabbed it and took it out with 
‘em. Maybe the extra movement 
distracted it, or maybe it didn't 
even care about the sub to begin 
with. Whatever it was, something 
made it lose interest in the 
Thurston for a moment. Fuji just 
took us up, slammed right into the 
thing. It slapped at the sub briefly, 
but the divers did something to 
distract it. It let us go. Fuji 


increases over a period of several weeks. By around day 55, the 
amount of time subjects spend viewing their reflection typically 
begins to exceed all other activities, including sleep. 


Each viewing causes biological alterations to the subject, beginning 
with minor physiological changes such as enlarged lymph nodes, 
facial rash, or skin discoloration. Although the exact pattern differs 
between subjects, by day 90 almost all subjects show downward 
extension of the ribcage, fixed open jaw by way of large cysts 
toward the rear of the mouth and severely compromised 
reproductive and immune systems. Subjects also show a continual 
loss of memory recall ability and emotional response; fMRI scans 
have shown a marked decrease in activity in subjects’ amygdalae 
and parietal lobes. Interviews have shown that subjects appear to 
have an obsession with an ‘other’, for whom they are being made 
‘ready’. 


Subjects who survive to the advanced stages of alteration (in excess 
of days) begin to exhibit marked changes in behavior, and more 
drastic physical alterations. These include the reorganisation of 
internal organs, leading to the creation of a small empty area inside 
the chest, increased mucus production and changes in hormone 
production and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Autopsies on advanced-stage 
subjects have shown that the 'cavity' could theoretically support a 
separate life form. This led researchers to speculate that the 
alterations caused by SCP-412 intend to turn the human body into 
an ‘environment suit' for a life-form unaccustomed to Earth's 
atmosphere. Authorised personnel should refer to Addendum 412-2 
for further details. 


Addendum 412-1: Circumstances of retrieval. 


SCP-412 came to the attention of the Foundation following five 
unexplained deaths in , , Matching the pattern described 
above. Three of the deceased owned a hand mirror of a similar age 
(the design varied considerably); only one mirror had reasonably 
intact glass. Once it had been established that the mirror was 
responsible for the mutations, it was taken into Foundation custody. 
The remains of the other two mirrors showed no unusual properties 
and were disposed of. 


collapsed as soon as we hit the 
surface. 


G-6 Com: Was there any contact 
from the dive team after the entity 
disengaged? 


Deveruex: Nothing 
comprehensible. They got hit by 
the cognitohazard | guess. 


G-6 Com: [Pause] Alright Agent, 
final question. Could you give a 
proper threat assessment 
regarding the entity? 


Deveruex: What? 


G-6 Com: If the -O entity were to 
become actively hostile, could we 
stop it? Would Alert-27 be able to 
stop it? 


Deveruex: [Si/ence] 


G-6 Com: You're dismissed, 
Agent Deveruex.
