Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3017 is 
contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at 
Area-55. The entrance to the cell is to be guarded at all 
times by no fewer than three armed security personnel. 
Visual and audio feeds of the inside of the cell are to be 
monitored at all times by no fewer than three security 
personnel. Any malfunctioning cameras or microphones 


must be repaired without delay. 


Personnel interacting with SCP-3017 are not to do so 
continuously for more than 1 hour without Level-4 
approval. Any personnel exhibiting violent or obsessive 
behavior towards SCP-3017 are to be administered a 
Class-A amnestic. 


SCP-3017-1 instances are to remain under surveillance 
by clandestine assets. Any attempts by SCP-3017-1 to 
raise awareness of SCP-3017's containment, or of the 
containment of other SCP-301 7-1 instances, shall be 
dealt with via standard information suppression 
techniques to prevent any security breach. Individual 
instances may be contained for the purposes of 
extracting information from SCP-3017, or to discourage 
lack of cooperation. 


No additional privileges are to be given to SCP-3017 for 
good behavior. Lack of cooperation by SCP-3017 may 
be dealt with by withholding of rations for no more than 
24 hours, removal of basic amenities, sleep deprivation, 
corporal punishment, containment of SCP-3017-1 
instances, and threat of harm of SCP-3017-1 instances. 


Description: (Void as of 1/1/20 7) 

SCP-3017 is Frasier Melbrook, a male aged 25 years old at the time 
of initial containment. SCP-3017 is believed to have extensive ties to 
several anomalous groups, and is suspected of having committed 
multiple robberies, assaults, and murders. SCP-3017 has been 
arrested 23 times, but has never been formally indicted, most likely 
due to its secondary effect. 


SCP-3017's primary anomaly affects all subjects coming in close 
proximity. Subjects who make direct visual contact or engage in 
conversation with SCP-3017 have a 1-5% chance per minute of 
becoming spontaneously aware of SCP-3017's criminal disposition. 
Subjects do not gain knowledge of SCP-3017's specific crimes, only 
a general understanding of its violent nature. 


Subjects exposed to SCP-3017 for periods greater than 1 hour may 
begin to experience a compulsion to ensure SCP-3017 remains 
incarcerated. Further exposure can result in obsessive or violent 
behavior, though this is easily remedied with amnestic treatment. 


SCP-3017's secondary anomaly manifests in its ability to evade 
extended incarceration. This effect is believed to be voluntary, but 
the exact mechanism for the phenomenon is unknown. SCP-3017's 
secondary anomaly has been a severe barrier to containment, but 
can be mitigated with the use of SCP-3017-1. 


SCP-3017-1 is the collective designation for 12 13 14 people who 
are entirely immune from SCP-3017's primary effect, and are unable 
to be convinced of SCP-3017’'s criminal activity. A table of all 
currently known SCP-3017-1 instances can be found under 
Addendum 3017-1-A. 


The threat of incarceration, harm, or death of SCP-3017-1 instances 
greatly reduces the effects of SCP-3017's secondary anomaly. The 
use of SCP-3017-1 for this purpose has been shown to be far more 
effective than conventional disciplinary action, and serves the dual 
function of being an incentive for SCP-3017 to divulge sensitive 
information. However, conventional means are generally preferred 
due to logistical constraints The use of SCP-3017-1 is the preferred 
method for obtaining information from SCP-3017.

Addendum: Mitigation of SCP-3017's Secondary Effect 


Following repeated attempts at containment breach by SCP-3017, 
Dr. Paris Kiran and Researcher Kathleen Rylan began an 


investigation of subject's previous incarcerations. It was discovered 


that shortly prior to SCP-3017's 22nd arrest and longest period of 


police incarceration, SCP-3017-1-04 was diagnosed with leukemia. 


A proposal was approved to investigate how SCP-3017's perception 
of SCP-3017-1's well being could be used to mitigate its secondary 
effect. The following interview was conducted by Researcher Rylan 


on 1/29/20 6 


<Begin Log> 


Rylan: Good afternoon, SCP-3017. How are you 


feeling? 


SCP-3017: | feel like the time Beck caught me in the eye 


when we were playing catch. 


Rylan: So, you've been giving the guards a hard time 


lately. 


SCP-3017: No, | haven't. Look, if this is about the other 


day, | already told you that | didn't do anything. 
Rylan: You were trying to escape. 


SCP-3017: | was walking to the bathroom, and he 
tackled me. 


Rylan: | would have done the same if you were trying to 
attack me. 


SCP-3017: | barely even looked at him. Are we seriously 
getting into this again? 


Rylan: You know what? You're right. Dr. Kiran already 
went through this with you. 


SCP-3017: Yeah, I've had enough of her to last me a 
lifetime. 


Rylan: (laughs) Haven't we all? 
SCP-3017: Geez. 


Rylan: Um, well, you mentioned your brother just a 
moment ago. He finished his treatment just this past 
June, right? 


SCP-3017: Yeah. he did. Why? Did... did something 
happen to Beck? 


Rylan: No, no. Not as far as we know. 
SCP-3017: Then what are you getting at? 


Rylan: Well... we've received word that your 
grandmother has been diagnosed with lung cancer. 


SCP-3017: ...What? 
Rylan: She went to a clinic about... 


SCP-3017: Yeah, | heard you! 


Rylan: | understand that you're upset, but we... 


SCP-3017: Yes, | am upset! I'm goddamn upset! I'm 
upset that you guys are keeping me here when 
something like this happens! | need to be there for her! | 
need to be there for my family! 


Rylan: I'm sorry, but we can't let you go. You need to 
understand this. 


SCP-3017: No, you need to understand... 


Rylan: Stop! This is important, and | need you to listen, 
OK? 


SCP-3017: (sighs) Fine. 


Rylan: Right now, the doctors think they can treat it. If all 
goes well she'll be fine. But in order for that to happen, 
we need you to cooperate. 


SCP-3017: What do you mean? 


Rylan: What | mean is... look, it wasn't my decision, but 
if you keep trying to pull all the stuff with the guards, we 
won't let her get treatment. 


SCP-3017: But, but that that's crazy! You can't do that! 
Rylan: It wasn't my call, I'm sorry. 
SCP-3017: No, you can't do this! 


Rylan: This is just what they decided to do, and | can't 
change that. | get it, you're upset and you're worried. But 
right now, the best thing you can do for her is cooperate 
with us, alright? 


SCP-3017: But | can't just stay here. | need to be with 
her. 


Rylan: You can't right now, I'm sorry. | know you care 


about her. But if you want to help her, you have to stop 
all these escape attempts. 


SCP-3017: |... can you at least keep me updated on how 
she's doing? 


Rylan: I'll try. 
SCP-3017: Alright then. I'll do what you want. 
<End Log> 


SCP-3017 has not attempted to breach containment in the 4 months 
following this recommendation. Currently, monitoring of 
SCP-3017-1-06 has shown no major chronic health problems. 


Addendum: Memorandum, 02/19/20 6 


Given SCP-3017's known and suspected ties to 
anomalous groups, the subject is a potential gold mine of 
information. Thus far, however, all conventional methods 
of interrogation have failed to yield any useful 
intelligence. With so much valuable intelligence to be 
obtained, we must look into alternative means of getting 
the subject to divulge the information we need. 


SCP-3017's secondary effect has been shown to be 
mitigated by the belief that SCP-3017-1 instances are in 
some form of danger. The secondary effect is voluntary 
on SCP-3017's part; it is mitigated when SCP-3017 does 
not want to escape, or is more concerned with other 
matters. Thus, its concern for those it considers close 
outweighs its desire to escape. Our psychological 
evaluation of SCP-3017 highlights this attribute as a 
dominant part of its personality. 


The possible application here is obvious. SCP-3017-1 
may be just the incentive we need to finally extract the 
information we need. By containing individual instances 
of SCP-3017-1, and convincing SCP-3017 that they are 
in danger, | believe the subject will be far more 


cooperative. 


SCP-3017-1 are classified as anomalous, and as such it 
is within our jurisdiction to contain them if need be. | 
propose that we contain individual instances on a 
temporary basis as needed, and then administer an 
amnestic and release them. At the expense of few 
resources, we may soon have access to large amounts 
of intelligence.

Proposal approved by Area-55 Director , 02-21-20 6. 
Interview Int-3017-13: 


On 03/13/20 6, SCP-3017-1-07 was placed into containment at 
Area-55 in order to evaluate the efficacy of using SCP-301 7-1 
instances to gather intelligence from SCP-3017. The following 
interview was conducted by Dr. Kiran while SCP-3017-1-07 was 
contained on site. 


<Begin Log> 


Kiran: SCP-3017, do you believe you are ready to 
cooperate with us and provide us with the information we 
have been requesting regarding [REDACTED]? 


SCP-3017: For the love of god, | keep telling you that | 
don't know what that is. 


Kiran: Very well. In that case, please look at this screen 
and tell me what you see. 


(SCP-3017 looks at the screen of Dr. Kiran's computer, 
which displays the live feed of SCP-3017-1-07's 
containment cell. Subject displays shock) 


SCP-3017: Why the hell are you showing me this? 


Kiran: Answer my question, SCP-3017. What do you 
see on the screen? 


SCP-3017: | see that you sick fucks are trying to make 
me think my girlfriend's been kidnapped. You're a real 
piece of work. 


Kiran: SCP-3017-1-07 has been detained and placed 
into our custody. Now... 


(Subject stands up and slams its hands on the table.) 


SCP-3017: Why?! My brother and my grandma might 
both be dying, and you're just going to keep me here and 
kidnap Nadia?! You're all goddamn psychos! 


Kiran: Sit down or | will have the guards remove you 
back to your cell. 


(Subject sits back down.) 


Kiran: That's better. Now, you have refused to provide 
the information we've been requesting over the course of 
your containment. We need that information, and we 
need it now. That is why we have decided to see if you 
would be more cooperative with a new incentive. 


SCP-3017: You can't do this to her, she hasn't done 
anything! Please, | swear to god, she'll go insane in here, 
she'll die! | can't let you do this! 


Kiran: If you give us what we want, then 
SCP-3017-1-7... 


SCP-3017: She has a name! Are you really that... 


Kiran: If you give us the information we need, she will 
not be harmed. She will be released from our custody 
and sent home with no memory of this. 


SCP-3017: But, | already said | don't know anything! 
How can | tell you what | don't fucking know? 


Kiran: We both know that isn't true. 


story. 


Addendum 365-02: On / /20 ,Researcher discovered that 
Hallway 19 of Storage-Site 23 was flooded. noticed water 
leaking from SCP-365's storage locker at a rate of 5 L/min. She 
quickly notified Doctor —_, who opened the locker to find SCP-365 
producing water from its holes. SCP-365 was subsequently moved 
to its testing pool, whereupon the flow of water stopped. SCP-365's 
containment procedures have been changed accordingly. 


« SCP-364 | SCP-365 | SCP-366 » 


SCP-3017: To hell it isn't! Besides, how do you expect 
me to trust you to let her go? You've been keeping me 
here for god knows how long, and for what? Zilch! And 
now you want to do the same to her?! How do | know 
that you won't... 


Kiran: SCP-3017, do you want to find out what will 
happen to her if you continue to be uncooperative? 


(SCP-3017 covers its face with its hands and is silent for 
several seconds before responding.) 


SCP-3017: I'll... | guess I'll try to tell you something. | 
don't know much about it, but I'll try. 


[SUBSEQUENT DIALOGUE CLASSIFIED] 
<End Log> 


Extensive information regarding several groups, particularly 
[REDACTED] was obtained during this interview. SCP-3017-1-07 
was subsequent amnesticized and released. 


Addendum: Memorandum, 03/20/20 6 


In the course of looking over the information provided by 
SCP-3017 during the interview on 03-13-20 6, | have 
found a great deal of inconsistency. In particular, 
[REDACTED] really doesn't make sense when 
considering [REDACTED]. Furthermore much of his 
story doesn't match up at all from information we have 
obtained from both field agents and from members of 
[REDACTED]. 


| seriously doubt that SCP-3017's information can be 
considered reliable. | don't know if it just doesn't know 
anything, or if it's still determined to keep information 
away from us. But | suspect the latter right now. 


-Researcher Rylan 


Interview Int-3017-24: 


By 04/16/20 6, SCP-3017-1-05, -08, -10, and -12 had all been 
detained as further incentive for SCP-3017's cooperation. On 
04/16/20 6, Dr. Kiran was given special clearance to conduct the 
following interview. Prior to the interview, SCP-3017-1-10 was 
sedated and removed to a separate cell. Interview was conducted 
with SCP-3017 in the adjacent observation room. 


<Begin Log> 


Kiran: OK, and let's start. SCP-3017, I'm going to show 
you an object, and then I'm going to ask you to tell me 
what you think it is. 


SCP-3017: Fine, let's get this over with 
(Dr. Kiran places a spent hollow point bullet on the table) 
SCP-3017: | have no idea what that is. 


Kiran: Alright. Now, I'm going to show you another 
object, and | want you do do the same thing. 


(Dr. Kiran places an unspent hollow point bullet on the 
table, followed by several seconds of silence.) 


SCP-3017: ... That's a bullet. 


Kiran: Very good. Now, do you have a better idea as to 
what the first object was? 


SCP-3017: It's a bullet too then. Is it? I... | don't know. 


Kiran: Yes, it's a bullet. Why do you think it's shaped like 
that? 


(Several seconds of silence.) 


Kiran: OK, how about | tell you then. These are hollow 
points. The reason that bullet is shaped like that is 
because it was fired through something. 


(Dr. Kiran rises from her chair, and activates the lights in 


the aajacent cell.) 


Kiran: And in that room, is what | fired it through. Take a 
look. 


SCP-3017: (unintelligible) 

Kiran: What was that? 

(SCP-3017 stands up.) 

SCP-3017: I'll kill you, you fucking bastard! 


(Dr. Kiran quickly produces a pistol and aims it at 
SCP-3017. Several seconds of silence.) 


Kiran: Sit back down. Now. 

(SCP-3017 sits back down, is now breathing heavily.) 
Kiran: This is what happens when you lie to us. 
SCP-3017: Please... 


Kiran: The more you lie, the worse this is going to get for 
you. Now, are you going to give us the information we 
need, or not? 


SCP-3017: | don't know anything. I'm sorry. Please... 
Kiran: That's bullshit and we both know it. 
SCP-3017: Are you going to shoot me or not?! 


(Dr. Kiran fires the pistol at the acrylic glass observation 
window.) 


Kiran: We're sick of your games. Start telling the truth, or 
| will shoot him again.
