Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1252 is to be contained in 
a standard humanoid containment chamber large enough to also 
contain its designated life support system. SCP-1252 is to be 
attended to by a team of medical personnel in a manner detailed in 
Treatment Schedule 1252-L. SCP-1252 is to receive nutrition 
through intravenous therapy as detailed in Treatment Schedule 
1252-L until the subject's digestive system is deemed functional. 


SCP-1252 is to be led to believe that "Suzie" or "Susan May Fox" is 
currently alive and is undergoing treatment in a local hospital 
specializing in children. Personnel are encouraged to reenforce this 
belief with SCP-1252 whenever it brings up the subject. Personnel 
are further encouraged to emphasize the subject exercise patience 
in waiting for Suzie's return. Should it begin to show skepticism, 
personnel are to maintain the established fabrication and notify Dr. 
Liu immediately for further instruction. 


Description: SCP-1252 is a sapient, adult humanoid of 
indeterminate sex, approximately 43kg in mass and 1.78m in height. 
SCP-1252 appears to be missing at least half of its body mass, 
mostly in the form of muscle, fat, bone and skin tissue. The only 
limbs or organs entirely intact are the left arm, heart, and brain. 
Despite its injuries, the subject is capable of speech. 


Much of the remaining internal organs are composed of what 
appears to be compressed insect wing material, which maintains 
structural integrity only while part of SCP-1252. Once removed, it 
rapidly separates into non-anomalous wing scales. Approximately 
23% of SCP-1252's skin appears to made up of wings from multiple 
species in the Papilionidae (swallowtail butterfly) and Libellulidae 
(skimmer/percher dragonfly) families. SCP-1252's left eye has been 


replaced with a Clerodendrum ugandense (Blue Glorybower or Blue 
Butterfly Bush) flower. The eye is not believed to be capable of sight 
and does not blink. Although capable of regeneration, SCP-1252 
does not seem to be able to fully recover any missing skin or other 
bodily tissues; once it achieves a maximum body mass of 43 kg, all 
healing of internal organs and skin stops. 


SCP-1252's behavior remains highly cooperative, partially due to the 
fabrication detailed in its Special Containment Procedures. Despite 
its cooperation, the exact nature of SCP-1252 remains unknown. 
New information or theories are to be reported to Dr. Liu. 


Interview 1252-001 


Date: March 2 , 20 

Interviewee: SCP-1252 

Interviewer: Dr. Blake 

Notes: This interview was conducted 2 days 
after the Foundation's acquisition of 
SCP-1252, as it was previously not healthy 
enough to communicate and was temporarily 
kept in an isolated room in the Medical wing at 
Site-37 for recovery. 

[BEGIN LOG] 


Dr. Blake: So you're SCP-1252, right? 


SCP-1252: [attempts a shrug, no verbal 
response] 


Dr. Blake: [sifting through clipboard] Could 
you explain what exactly you are supposed to 
be? 


SCP-1252: I'm supposed to be Suzie's very 
best friend. Well, Suzie is what her friends 
called her. 


Dr. Blake: Right. Could you please explain 
why you have insect wings on your skin? 


SCP-1252: Suzie always liked butterflies. 
Dragonflies too. They were pretty. And flowers. 
Her mother grew lots of flowers, back before 
her parents separated and her mother had to 
move into an apartment. [SCP-1252 briefly lifts 
its left hand up to touch its left eye.] 


Dr. Blake: [writing] Okay. Who is this Suzie? 


SCP-1252: [a slight pause as it adjusts its 
oxygen mask and inhales deeply several 
times] Her full name is Susan May Fox. 
[another pause and several deep inhalations] 
She lives on 16 Maple Road, in . She 
goes to Elementary School and is 
in second grade. Could you find her and tell 
her I'm okay? We got separated in an accident 
and | don't want her to worry. 


Dr. Blake: [writing] Please detail this accident 
you mentioned. 


SCP-1252: [several deep inhalations] | don't 
really know what happened. I'm sorry | couldn't 
be of more help. | just know | was supposed to 
be her very best friend. But something 
interrupted her thoughts. I'm sure when- 
[several inhalations] when you find her, she 
can explain everything. She's a smart girl. And 
when you do find her, could you please bring 
her to me, so | can be finished? I'm sure she 
would appreciate it. [Note: At this point 
SCP-1252 becomes very excited, prompting a 
medical personnel to signal to Dr. Blake and 
end the interview. ] 


Dr. Blake: We will do what we can, SCP-1252. 


SCP-1252: [nods, no verbal response]

SCP-1253: Quechuan Priests 


Item #: SCP-1253 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Omicron-19 
(‘Flash Lightning’) is currently assigned to the tracking, observation 
and recovery of SCP-1253-1 instances. All exposed subjects are 
monitored for correlations, all witnesses are administered Class-C 
amnestics and all compromising media is destroyed. 


Recovered SCP-1253-1 instances are stored in humanoid 
containment units, which are secured with digital combination locks. 
Access codes to SCP-1253-1 instances are shuffled on a bi-monthly 
basis and distributed to associated researchers, Site Security and 
Site Command. SCP-1253-1 testing is conducted with the 
notification of Site Director Davis. 


Description: SCP-1253 is a phenomenon affecting various cities in 
Bolivia and Peru. In the event of war, famine or the death of a 
prominent political leader SCP-1253-1 instances will progress from 
an unknown origin point to the affected cities. 


SCP-1253-1 instances are sapient automatons, capable of 
conversing in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Quechua. 
SCP-1253-1 instances are constructed of heavily decayed organic 
material, including entrails, limbs and genitalia. This material has 
been identified as originating from a variety of sources, including 
Vicugna pacos, or alpaca specimens. The anatomy of SCP-1253-1 
instances is lacking in organs, musculature and skeletal structure, 
and it is currently unknown as to how instances retain autonomy. 
SCP-1253-1 instances also display various behavioural quirks 
including decorating themselves with feathers, bead bracelets and 
necklaces, carving various patterns onto themselves and objects, 
and conversing with themselves. 


SCP-1253-1 instances will interact with subjects in the six to fifteen 
age range. Subjects will exhibit severely impaired judgement and be 
convinced by SCP-1253-1 instances to progress to the nearest high- 
altitude landform. SCP-1253-1 instances will there instruct subjects 
in a polytheistic religion bearing heavy similarity to the Quechuan 
religion. Instances will explain the structure of this religion, the 
procedures for various ceremonies, rituals and feast days, and 
demonstrate how to correctly conduct Capacocha. 


Subjects who have experienced SCP-1253 phenomenon appear to 
maintain various correlations. The majority of subjects demonstrate 
symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, including paranoia and 
intrusive thoughts, as well as apparent sociopathy and criminal 
tendencies. A minority of subjects also claim membership to the 
‘Children of the Sun.’ The existence of such an organisation has not 
been verified; there is some doubt to its existence. 


Addenda: 
SCP-1253-1 Topic Table: 


Topic Description 

Reincarnation and the afterlife | SCP-1253-1 instances will explain 
the reincarnation process and the 
afterlife. Instances will state that 
the soul of the deceased, the 
Camaquen, would be guided by a 
canine in the passage to the 
afterlife, and will emphasize the 
importance that the deceased's 
corpse is not incinerated, which 
would threaten the Camaquen's 
passage to the afterlife. 

Various deities SCP-1253-1 instances will explain 
the various dominions of the 
deities, which include /nti, Apu 
Iilapu, Viracocha, Manco Capac. 

Correct worship of the deities SCP-1253-1 instances will explain 
how to properly pray to the 
various gods, and which gods to 
pray for for various blessings, 


The conduction of festivals, 
ceremonies and rituals 


Inca culture 


Sapa Inca 


War 


Capacocha 


such as how Apu Iilapu should be 
prayed to for rain. 

SCP-1253-1 instances will explain 
the proper conduction of various 
ceremonies, what ceremonial 
garb is required and what 
sacrifices are needed. 
Emphasized is the /nti Raymi 
celebration. 

SCP-1253-1 instances will explain 
the social structure and history of 
the Inca culture, with particular 
emphasis to colonial resistance. 
SCP-1253-1 instances will explain 
how modern politicians in 
Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, 
Colombia and Ecuador are the 
spiritual successors to Sapa Inca, 
“The Great Inca.” 

SCP-1253-1 instances will 
educate subjects in the manner of 
correctly using the Bola, staging 
ambushes and setting traps, and 
explain the necessity of resisting 
against Spanish, Portuguese and 
Dutch incursions into South 
America for the sake of the 
preservation of the Inca religion 
and culture. 

SCP-1253-1 instances will explain 
the importance of sacrificing a 
child to the gods during famine, 
war or upon the death of one of 
the spiritual successors of Sapa 
Inca, and how a pure child must 
be sacrificed instead of an adult. 
SCP-1253-1 instances will then 
select and restrain a subject, 
which will be killed by 
strangulation.

SCP-1254: Paper People 


Item #: SCP-1254 
Object Class: Neutralized Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The building SCP-1254 is held 
in is to be permanently closed to the public. Due to SCP-1254's 
close proximity to a busy shopping district, a false storefront owned 
and operated by a Foundation front company has been constructed 
in order to allay any possible suspicion. 


SCP-1254 is to be treated as an active archeological site, with strict 
environmental controls and safeguards to prevent any possible 
damage. Personnel within SCP-1254 must exercise caution at all 
times and refrain from causing any unnecessary disturbances to 
SCP-1254. No further containment measures are necessary. 


Personnel exiting SCP-1254 are to be fully decontaminated before 
being allowed to leave the building. Cameras are to be installed in 
order to observe SCP-1254-1 behavior and the progress of 
SCP-1254-2's construction. Armed guards are to be kept on standby 
in the event SCP-1254-2 activates. 


Description: SCP-1254 is the entire stock of books in a 

Bookstore located in , California. While SCP-1254 appears to 
be a set of standard books on the outside, closer examination 
reveals the interiors of the books had been cored out to construct 
several miniature civilizations. The inhabitants, dubbed SCP-1254-1, 
were miniature humanoids that were nearly identical to normal 
humans in every respect except for size. Their average height was 
approximately 5 mm. 


Archeological analysis of the few remaining intact samples of 
SCP-1254 suggests that SCP-1254-1 possessed the ability or 
technology to convert paper into any conceivable material. These 
intact samples contained stone structures that bore many similarities 


to Ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Study of the damaged 
samples of SCP-1254 shows the remains of more advanced 
materials, such as concrete, steel, carbon fiber, trace amounts of 
uranium, as well as several as of yet unidentified materials. There is 
even evidence of the existence of organic foodstuffs. 


In addition, the number of distinct civilizations within SCP-1254 
corresponded to the number of different genre sections the 
bookstore contained. The knowledge base each SCP-1254-1 
civilization possessed also corresponded to the types of books they 
inhabited. For example, the Science Fiction section showed a more 
rapid pace of technological development, while the Fantasy section 
largely remained in the Medieval era. The civilization in the 
Nonfiction section was the one that most closely correlated to the 
current time period. There is definite proof that these civilizations 
were aware of and interacted with each other, with "border books" 
exhibiting a blend of various architectural styles that neighboring 
samples of SCP-1254 lacked. 


However, 99% of SCP-1254 was destroyed or irreparably damaged 
due to a fire that took place before its discovery. Forensic analysis 
suggests that the fire started in the Young Adult section of the 
bookstore. Trace radiation readings, as well as the remains of 
various types of weaponry, suggest the fire was started as the result 
of a miniature thermonuclear war between one or more of the 
SCP-1254 civilizations, which proceeded to wipe out the entire 
SCP-1254-1 population. 


SCP-1254 was first discovered after the previously mentioned fire. 
The local Fire Department responding to the call suspected arson 
and started their own forensic investigation, discovering the remains 
of SCP-1254. The Foundation was alerted and took control of the 
site, administering amnestics to the entire forensic team. The 
bookstore had already been closed indefinitely for several months 
due to financial trouble, though none of the books were planned to 
be moved due to the possibility of a buyout. As a result, SCP-1254's 
existence went unnoticed until the fire. 


Addendum 1: Living specimens of SCP-1254-1 were discovered on 
/ / during a routine archeological survey. Researcher Wilkes 
caught sight of a small group of SCP-1254-1 survivors and managed 


to record the entire event with his head-mounted camera. Seven 
individuals wearing full Nuclear/Biological/Chemical gear were 
witnessed moving through a destroyed copy of Harry Potter and the 
Deathly Hallows, possibly scavenging for supplies. The small 
SCP-1254-1 group then saw Researcher Wilkes and fled deeper 
into the book, breaking visual contact.
