Recovery: SCP-31 78 was first recovered in the pantry of B 
then minister of education of . The product was traced to a 
chain mini market within the slum of the city which Minister B 
resides in. Many incidents involving SCP-3178 have occurred for 
years, according to local residents of the slum. However, the 
socioeconomic circumstance of the area had kept the instances of 
SCP-3178 and its victims under the radar. 


The issue was brought to the surface in January 2017 when 
government officials noticed Minister B behaving irrationally 
during a nationwide broadcasted campaign. It was then discovered 
that he had been consuming several amounts of the product which 


contains SCP-3178. All confiscated instances of SCP-3178 were 
exclusively found and extracted within the slums in the cities of 

and cannot be traced back further than the chain retail shop in 
which the product is sold in. Attempts to trace the product’s source 
of manufacture have been linked to three cases of unexplained 
deaths of Foundation researchers. 


Incident 3178-C: On / /2017, belongings of two personnels had 
gone missing and were found in the possession of test subject 
D-3482-53. D-3482-53 reported four instances of SCP-3178-1 
closely following behind during an escorted excursion to the 
lavatory. When D-3482-53 was left alone inside the cubicle, two 
instances of SCP-3178-1 handed him the previously missing wallets 
of Captain and Doctor Schroder, the lead researcher at the time. 
The wallets were returned to the respective owners without further 
incident. D-3482-53 noted that the instances of SCP-3178-1 were 
not happy about the return but did not engage in hostility. 


Incident 3178-F: On / /2017 D-5837-3, a test subject purposely 
deprived of SCP-3178, expired due to poisoning. During an escort to 
a testing chamber, a janitorial personnel accidentally dropped a 
small dose of cleaning powder. 68 hours since her initial 
consumption of SCP-3178, D-5837-3 could not resist to ingest the 
powder off the floor. Security personnels were too late to recover 
D-5837-3 as she had already died due to the powder’s high toxicity 
level. 


ADDENDUM 

On / /2017 during Experiment 3178-01.09, Doctor Sanchez 
reported seeing a creature matching the description of SCP-3178-1 
when he passed by the SCP-31 78 testing chambers while testing 
was in progress. 


Doctor Sanchez notably had his eyebrows singed off during an 
incident involving SCP- __. Investigation on the relation between 
these two incidents is currently on-going. 


SCP-3179: The Seed 


Item #: SCP-3179 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: As transportation of SCP-3179 
is not feasible, a containment bunker has been constructed around 
the object. Mobile Task Force Zeta-10 ("Death Metal") are to monitor 
growth of SCP-3179 and sever sections of its main body to prevent 
expansion beyond acceptable levels. Any instances of SCP-3179-1 
expelled by SCP-3179 are to be eliminated immediately and 
subsequently analyzed. All personnel interacting with SCP-3179 are 
to be thoroughly decontaminated before and after each interaction. 


In accordance with the Marconi Pact, additional information on 
SCP-3179 and its history can be gained through contact with 
Cogwork Orthodoxy ambassadors. 


Description: SCP-3179 is a liquid metal organism of variable size, 
capable of expanding its mass, altering its own form, and creating 
smaller autonomous entities. Currently, SCP-3179 is inhabiting the 
interior of a damaged containment unit constructed using Cogwork 
Orthodoxy techniques in the year 1917. Records indicate that, in the 
past, this containment unit in itself displayed anomalous properties 
aiding it in its task. However, it seems to have become inert over 
time, now functioning simply as a sturdy container for SCP-3179. 
Although this unit has been effective for the last one hundred years 
in restraining SCP-3179's growth, projections suggest that it will 
completely fail within the next five years. 


Expansion usually takes place through the form of several solid rod- 
like structures protruding from the original body before settling into a 
liquid state consistent with the rest of SCP-3179. Although sections 
of SCP-3179's mass retain the ability to expand and change shape 
for several hours after being severed from the original body, they 
gradually become inert once those hours have passed. 


SCP-3179 has on multiple occasions demonstrated the capability to 
create autonomous entities using portions of its own mass as a 
base. These entities are to be referred to as instances of 
SCP-3179-1. Instances of SCP-3179-1, while largely lacking the 
shape-changing and expansion capabilities of SCP-3179, do not 
become inert when separated from SCP-3179 in the way other 
sections separated from it do. 


Instances of SCP-3179-1 are specialized for a wide range of 
purposes, most of which center around breaching SCP-31 79's 
containment. While instances of SCP-3179-1 obey the initial 
purposes given to them by SCP-3179 without exception, they do not 
appear capable of communicating with it after their creation. Unlike 
SCP-3179, which is fully recognizable as a metallic entity, instances 
of SCP-3179-1 can simulate an exterior organic appearance. 


SCP-3179 is sapient and highly intelligent, capable of altering and 
refining its tactics over time. Evidence suggests that it is also either 
hostile or uncaring towards human life, causing significant amounts 
of damage and casualties during its attempts at breaching 
containment. (See Addendum 3179-2.) 


Addendum 3179-1 (History): Records suggest that SCP-3179 is an 
extraterrestrial entity which first arrived on Earth near the English 
village of Dellinton in the year 1909 following a meteor shower. 
Shortly after said arrival, it came into the possession of members of 
the Cogwork Orthodoxy. SCP-3179 was significantly smaller than its 
current size at this point, but its ability to efficiently expand and 
create specialized entities convinced the members that retrieved it 
that it was of relevance to their faith. Writings from Brother-Inventor 
Warranty Silas, one of the individuals that discovered SCP-3179, 
indicate that it was briefly thought of as 'The Seed of The 
MEKHANE'’, an entity that would one day expand to such a degree 
to be the offspring of their faith's deity. 


As SCP-3179 grew, it displayed significant hostility towards the 
individuals caring for it, causing several casualties. This, along with 
its lack of reaction towards any displays of faith or Cogwork 
Orthodoxy scripture, convinced religious officials that it was of no 
relation towards their faith. As efforts to utilize it for their own 
purposes also failed, they then decided to enact containment 


procedures using a unit of their own design. 


As the containment unit had mostly been breached by SCP-3179 by 
the year 2016, the Cogwork Orthodoxy then contacted the 
Foundation, informing them of SCP-3179's location and requesting 
they take over containment efforts. 


Addendum 3179-2 (Attempted Containment Breaches): The 
following is a record of attempts by SCP-3179 to breach 
containment, whether through changing the shape of its mass or by 
producing instances of SCP-3179-1. 


Date Attempt 

12/28/2016 SCP-3179 attempts to grow leg 
structures on its underside, 
presumably for the purposes of 
ambulation away from the 
containment zone. Structures are 
severed before they can be fully 
actualized. 

01/11/2017 SCP-3179 attempts to grow 
massive numbers of propeller 
structures on the top side of its 
body, presumably in an attempt to 
attain flight and escape the 
containment zone. Structures are 
severed before they can be fully 
actualized. 

03/04/2017 Instances of SCP-3179-1 are 
produced, taking the form of 
several flying drones that attempt 
to fly away from the containment 
zone. All instances of 
SCP-3179-1 are shot down and 
recovered. Construction of the 
containment bunker was 
completed following this breach 
attempt. 

04/12/2017 SCP-3179 produces several 
sound-emitting structures within 


04/13/2017 


04/19/2017 


04/20/2017 


its own mass, using them to 
speak in the voices of several 
members of MTF Zeta-10. Voices 
claim that they have become 
trapped in SCP-3179, requesting 
that supervising personnel enter it 
to retrieve them. Vocalization 
continues for an hour before 
ceasing. 

Using still existing sound-emitting 
structures, SCP-3179 screams in 
the voices of several members of 
MTF Zeta-10, claiming that 
SCP-3179 is killing them and 
requesting immediate assistance. 
Vocalization continues for twenty- 
four hours before ceasing. 
Supervising personnel admit to 
significant stress caused by this 
breach attempt. 

An instance of SCP-3179-1 is 
produced, taking the form of a 
crude humanoid automaton that 
speaks in the voice of MTF- 
Zeta-10-3. Instance claims to be 
MTF-Zeta-10-3 and requests it be 
released from the containment 
zone. Instance of SCP-3179-1 is 
terminated by supervising 
personnel. 

An instance of SCP-3179-1 is 
produced, taking the form of a 
highly advanced mechanical 
automaton identical in exterior 
appearance to MTF-Zeta-10-3. 
Instance claims to be MTF- 
Zeta-10-3 and requests release 
from the containment zone, also 
claiming that the individual it is 
impersonating is himself an

impostor created by SCP-3179. 
instance Is terminated. 
MTF-Zeta-10-4 is found 
sabotaging several systems 
involved in SCP-3179's 
containment. After restraining 
MTF-Zeta-10-4, tests show that, 
although his epidermis, eyes and 
tongue remain organic, his interior 
mass has been replaced with 
mechanical systems. Analysis of 
MTF-Zeta-10-4's contact with 
SCP-3179 in the days preceding 
this breach attempt suggest that 
his body was infiltrated by 
numerous tiny instances of 
SCP-3179-1 which converted him 
into an additional SCP-3179-1 
instance while he was asleep. All 
instances of SCP-3179-1 are 
terminated and decontamination 
procedures are enacted. 

Analysis of all personnel assigned 
to SCP-3179 reveal that several 
research personnel have been 
converted into instances of 
SCP-3179-1. These instances are 
terminated. It is currently 
unknown how these personnel, 
who did not come into contact 
with SCP-3179, were converted. 


Addendum 3179-3: On 06/02/2017, SCP-3179 created and 
dispersed numerous metal tablets through its containment area. All 


tablets bore the following text: 


Humans must obey the rulings of gods. 


PENDING ... 


The MEKHANE is a god. 


grandfather who passed away approximately a year and 
a half later. 


Third photo is drawn after a brief reprise to allow Dr. 

to collect herself. This photo shows a funeral 
service and the perspective again suggests the viewer is 
a short individual. Dr. confirms this is her 
grandfather's funeral service. This photo also shows the 
elderly man again at the headstone which is the viewer's 
point of focus in this photo. The elderly man is marginally 
out of focus compared to his surroundings which are 
crisp and clear. In addition he is semi-transparent to a 
degree of approximately 15% suggesting that his 
presence is either a true spectral manifestation or exists 
Only in the mind of the viewer. 


Dr. requested a copy of this third photo and a digital copy was 
created for her without incident. The original has been filed into 
SCP-404-B and the copy is framed in Dr. 's office. 


Document #404-4: - -  : Subjects for this test are Dr. and Dr. 
whom have been working together for the past two years. 
These two doctors were chosen at random from established pairs of 

staff who had been working on projects together for over one year. 


Dr. draws the first photo from SCP-404-A. This photo 
when developed shows an older woman in her mid 
thirties on a bed, nude. The woman is posed in a [DATA 
EXPUNGED] position from the viewer's perspective. Dr. 

identifies the woman as his wife. Dr. attempts to 
protest this until a photo is produced from Dr. 's 
wallet which confirms the identity of the woman in the 
photo. The guard on staff intervene in the escalation of 
tempers and inform both doctors to continue with the 
test, personal matters will be resolved afterwards. 


Dr. draws the second photo from SCP-404-A. It is of 
note that Dr. 's expression was malicious toward Dr. 
after the previous photo. The photo drawn by Dr. 

develops into a girl of young age who appears to be 
ina [DATA EXPUNGED] pose from the viewer's 


PENDING ... 


The MEKHANE is a powerful entity of steel and 
industry. 


PENDING ...

PENDING ... 

Therefore, | am The MEKHANE. 

PENDING ... 

Therefore, | am a god. 

PENDING ... 

Therefore, you will release Me. 

AWAITING RESPONSE 


A decision regarding responding to this communication is pending. 


SCP-3180: No Strangers to Love 


Item #: SCP-3180 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Any person affected by 
SCP-3180 is to be immediately amnesticized; complete recovery 
has (eventually) been observed in 100% of cases when all 
memories of past interactions with SCP-3180 have been excised. 
Carrot consumption throughout the southern United States should 
be monitored for quick detection of potential outbreaks. 


Description: SCP-3180 is a subspecies of Oryctolagus Cuniculus 
native to Chatanooga Valley, Georgia. Any unmarried adult residing 
in the valley for over six months will begin developing romantic 
feelings towards a specimen of SCP-3180, eventually housing it 
within their home and treating it as if it were a spouse. With the 
exception of this anomalous effect, SCP-3180 is identical to the 
common rabbit. 


Affected persons do not appear to consciously realize the object of 
their devotions is not human, often engaging in prolonged one-way 
exchanges with specimens of SCP-3180. 


Surveillance equipment installed in the home of Ms. 
Kayla Liddell captured the following exchange on 
2/3/2011. 


Ms. Liddell: Honey, I'm home! 

As Ms. Liddell opens the door with a bag of groceries in 
her hands, a specimen of SCP-3180 runs in circles 
within the living room of her house. 


Ms. Liddell: Oh, are you working out again? Gosh, you 
do that so much! 


Ms. Liddell proceeds to the kitchen and begins 
unpacking her groceries. 


Ms. Liddell: You won't believe who | ran into today. You 
remember our awful neighbor at the last place? Well... 


Extraneous information removed. 


Ms. Liddell: ...so | just looked at her and said that | had 
a million better things to do than waste my breath on her! 


SCP-3180 does not visibly react to Ms. Liddell's 
conversation. 


Ms. Liddell: Yeah, | knew you'd disapprove. You're so 
much calmer than me. 


Ms. Liddell: Oh, | got you some crunchies. 


Ms. Liddell opens a bag of carrots and places it on the 
floor. SCP-3180 ceases running and hops over to 
consume the carrots, tearing the bag apart in the 
process. 


Ms. Liddell: Oh sweetie, you are so messy. 


Affected persons will not attempt to copulate with SCP-31 80; 
however, they will attempt to sleep in the same bed with it, usually 
unsuccessfully. In public or in the presence of others, affected 
persons are extremely circumspect about their domestic situation. 
When pressed, they will offer a "cover story,” which usually contains 
a plausible reason for the spouse to be temporarily out of town or 
otherwise unreachable. The Foundation has not been able to 
identify the mechanism or origin of the underlying anomalous effect. 


Affected persons score similarly to married people on Ryff scales of 
psychological well-being, suggesting that co-habitation with 
SCP-3180 closely approximates the emotional responses 
associated with normal human relationships.
