If no marine mammals were killed or injured during the hunt, 
SCP-1836 will dislodge from the vessel at this point and drift away, 
ceasing activity. If any marine mammals were killed or injured during 
the hunt, however, SCP-1836 will remain in close proximity to the 
sinking vessel. When the hunter(s) evacuate the sinking vessel, 
between five (5) and thirty (30) instances of SCP-1836-1 will emerge 
from the submerged portions of SCP-1836 and engage the 
hunter(s), dragging them into the submerged caverns within 
SCP-1836. The fate of these individuals is a matter of ongoing 
investigation. Expeditions into SCP-1836 are pending approval. 


Update: After a brief expedition into the interior of SCP-1836 a small 
central chamber was discovered. Within the walls of this chamber is 
a frozen, well-preserved, corpse of a young woman of Inupiat 
ethnicity. The corpse had suffered injuries in the past and is missing 
its hands at the wrist. Only the head of the corpse is exposed to the 
open air. Due to safety concerns only the on-site shaman and 
cosmetologist are to have access to this chamber.

Interviewer: Agent Scout Fullbrush 


Foreword: Following hostile activity by SCP-1836 on - 
- Teriaq LeChatelier was called to begin the Helping 
Hand protocol. After eighty minutes had elapsed 
SCP-1836 ceased activity and LeChatelier emerged from 
SCP-1836 with injuries reminiscent of prolonged 


exposure to the elements and several bite marks 
consistent with human and dolphin jaw architecture on 
his extremities. He provided the following debriefing to 
Agent Fullbrush after receiving medical attention. 


<Begin Log> 
Fullbrush: Alright, we're recording. 
LeChatelier: [sighs] 


Fullbrush: Let's begin then. For the record, Agent 
Fullorush debriefing Tearock LeChatelier. 


LeChatelier: It's Teriag. We've known each other for a 
year now... 


Fullbrush: I'm sorry. 
LeChatelier: [muffled] It's fine just [inaudible] 


Fullbrush: Right, can you tell me what happened on - 
- 2 


LeChatelier: What? Yesterday afternoon? Yesterday 
she just got a little mad at me is all. I'm terrible with a 
comb and | tugged too hard and she nipped me a bit. It's 
her way. 


Fullbrush: Can you elaborate? 


LeChatelier: Sure...Every once and a while the ivory 
comb gets stuck after I've burned the incense and 
dabbed her with sacred oil. | don't know how her hair 
manages to get so entangled since she's usually just 
sitting there... 


Fullbrush: When you say stuck... 


LeChatelier: Stuck. Like, when | comb her hair inside 
that frozen living room of hers sometimes it comes to a 
knot and it gets caught. Do you comb your own hair, 


Fullorush? It works like that. If | tug too hard on my own, 
that's no big deal, but | tug on her hair and sometimes | 

get nipped because, let's face it, | don't know what to do 
with that much hair and she's a sensitive lady. 


Fullbrush: How do you normally cope with SCP-1836 
when it reacts that way to your ritual? 


LeChatelier: Eh, depends on her mood. Sometimes | 
step back and wait her out. Sometimes | have to sing a 
little something, burn a different incense, offer a sled 
dog. Sometimes she just wants me to leave; | think that 
I'm coming as a man into her house is disconcerting. 
Usually when you placate her you are supposed to look 
like a fish or send a fish with the comb in your stead. 


Fullbrush: Right, is there anything the Foundation could 
do to improve your ability to control SCP-1836? 


LeChatelier: No. There's nothing you can do to improve 
"control" but you people just don't like listening to that. 


Fullbrush: So then- 


LeChatelier: [interrupting] You can help by giving me 
another pair of hands to help me out, preferably one who 
knows how to deal with long, lady's, hair. Get me a 
hairdresser. Oh, and untie my hands with pre-ritual 
preparations. Not every one of her outbursts is the same. 
She's got feelings even if she isn't willing to tell you 
gallunaat because you can't be bothered to learn how. 


Fullbrush: So formally you'd like to request an assistant 
with hair-care experience and greater operational 
latitude? 


LeChatelier: Yes. That sounds about right. 


Fullbrush: [pause] I'll get the paperwork. We'll see what 
happens.

+ Incident Report: 110-614 Level-3 Authorization Only 
Incident Report: 110-614 

Date: // 13 

Location: Site 641 


Description: On / / 13 SCP-1836 broke containment. 
During a routine implementation of the Helping Hands 
Protocol, the on-site shaman, Teriaque LeChatlier, was 
interrupted by an unknown party during his procedure. 
The following is a summary of the video surveillance 
footage taken by the observation post. 


<0:00> SCP-1836 is immobile, resting against the gravel 
bar. The sea is calm and the aviary fence is in place. 


<0:05> The water around SCP-1836 begins to churn. 
The layer of green ice curls into swirling patterns. 
SCP-1836 has entered its active state. 


<0:07> Structural deformations appear on the surface of 
SCP-1836. SCP-1836 appears to be attempting to 
withdraw from the gravel bar. 


<0:15> Teriaque LeChatlier arrives and begins pre-entry 
preparations accompanied by Lidia O'Foote, on-site 
cosmetologist. After ten minutes of preparation and 
burning of incense they enter SCP-1836 


<0:32> Unusual cloud formation detected by perimeter 
defense assets. Site-641 is placed on emergency 
weather alert. Ambient temperature falls from 15° C to 
-4° C. No warnings have been issued by local weather 
services. SCP-1836 slows its motion. Observation post 
receives a short radio message indicating that the 
Helping Hands Protocol is underway and will calm 
SCP-1836 shortly. 


<0:56> Foundation perimeter hydrophones detect 
elevated whale song levels. Analysis by staff marine 


biologists indicates that the song is not associated with 
mating or feeding behaviors. 


<1:23> LeChatlier and O'Foote have not yet emerged 
from SCP-1836. Radio contact indicates that the Helping 
Hands Protocol is still ongoing. 


<1:30> The unusual cloud formation occludes the 
airspace over Site-641 and stops moving with prevailing 
winds. Closer inspection reveals that the cloud formation 
is a flock composed entirely of Northern Fulmar 
(Fulmarus glacialis). The flock descends and begin to 
harass site staff. The high concentration of fulmar make 
it impossible for staff to conduct outdoor activities. Staff 
are ordered indoors. The fulmar make no attempt to 
break into site facilities with the exception of the aviary 
fence which is attacked by the flock. SCP-1836 violently 
lists and jostles during this time. 


<1:34> Repeated attempts to contact LeChatlier and 
O'Foote have failed. SCP-1836 displays more agitation 
and is deforming in a manner consistent with an attack 
on aship. It is postulated that SCP-1836 is attempting to 
breach the aviary cage and engage the fulmar. The 
aviary cage is under continuous assault by the flock 
during this time. 


<2:19> Site security efforts to drive off the flock have 
failed. Security staff attempt to keep the aviary fence 
clear using small arms fire, signal flares and noise 
deterrents. None of these are effective. The 
extermination of individual members of the flock is not 
significant in regard to the total population. 


<2:43> A hole in the aviary fence allows a wave of fulmar 
to breach containment. They swarm the interior of the 
fence. A single, large, toothed, pelican-like bird of 
unknown species lands on the gravel bar and 
metamorphoses into a humanoid figure wearing local, 
traditional garments. This figure is briefly seen darting up 
the catwalk before the camera is obscured by birds. 


<3:17> A loud, groaning sound consistent with glacial 
calving is emitted by SCP-1836. The iceberg shudders 
and wrenches free of the gravel bar. SCP-1836 proceeds 
to ram the aviary cage. 


<3:20> LeChatlier and O'Foote are violently expelled 
from the entrance causeway. Both are unconscious and 
demonstrate defensive wounds, frostbite and bite marks. 


<3:22> SCP-1836 breaks through the aviary cage and 
begins to move into open water. Foundation MTF-89E is 
mobilized to recontain SCP-1836. 


<3:40> SCP-1836 enters the Barrow Strait and begins 
moving west. MTF-89E is in pursuit. 


<4:50> MTF-89E is harried by flocks of fulmar and by 
contact with hostile cetaceans. After one of MTF-89E's 
vessels is nearly capsized Site Director Park issues a 
retreat to regroup and reassess. 


Foreword: After SCP-1836 breached 
containment LeChatelier and O'Foote were 
rushed to the infirmary. LeChatelier suffered 
several, deep, puncture wounds to his center 
of mass. On autopsy it was revealed that 
LeChatelier's chest the inside. 
O'Foote suffered minor defensive wounds and 
small injuries consistent with exposure to sub- 
freezing temperatures. The following is a 
transcript of her debriefing. 


Interviewer: Agent Scout Fullbrush 
Interviewed: Lidia O'Foote 


Fullbrush: Right, let's begin. Can you please 
state your name and ID number for the 
record? 


O'Foote: Lidia O'Foote, 0894-643764-348711- 


O. [nervous laugh] Hairdresser to the gods. 


Fullbrush: Heh, Funny. [pause] Can you 
describe to me what happened yesterday? 


O'Foote: | don't know where to start. 


Fullbrush: Begin at the beginning. What 
happened when you and LeChatelier went 
inside? 


O'Foote: Well, T had just finished the pre- 
ritual stuff. You know, the incense, seal 
blubber, all this talk of being clean. We hiked 
on up inside and | started combing her hair like 
usual. Then things got...weirder. 


Fullbrush: In what way? 


O'Foote: At first | thought it was just T being 
paranoid. He kept on asking me if | was doing 
anything differently and | told him no, I'm 
brushing and trimming like | always do. | tell 
him that I'm not pulling any knots and that her 
hair is just fine...that it's something else 
maybe... [pause] 


Fullbrush: | know this is hard to talk about but 
please continue. 


O'Foote: | don't really know. I'm just a 
hairdresser... 


Fullbrush: Did LeChatelier say or do anything 
unusual before you were interrupted? 


O'Foote: | remember T saying something 
about how she wouldn't stop talking about her 
husband. Her ex-husband. Something about a 
restraining order and coming to visit? Time 
doesn't pass right inside there. Anyway... | 
remember the room shaking and she started 


shrieking something fierce, like | had pulled on 
her too hard. | got pushed away and slipped 
on the ice. That's when things got worse. 


Fullbrush: Our surveillance indicates that 
something walked up into SCP-1836 during 
the incident outside. Is that what you're talking 
about? 


O'Foote: Yeah, | saw this person in mukluks 
and a parka come in. They threw, literally 
threw, T aside an’ stabbed him with... little bird 
feet? Claws? Hidden up inside his sleeves. 
There wasn't any blood; | don't know how but 
T didn't bleed. He just fell, laid there. The guy 
who... who killed T walked up to her and 
started talking. 


Fullbrush: What did he say? 


O'Foote: He said that he knew he wasn't 
supposed to talk to her anymore, that he was 
sorry to disturb her. He said something like 
"Even though we're divorced | still care about 
you" and "I couldn't let them keep you away 
from your children." 


Fullbrush: Then what happened? 


O'Foote: He said something about T being a 
"traitor to the art". Roughed me up a bit. Said | 
was good at my job. Said that | was good 
enough to her to avoid what happened to T. 
He tossed us out. | bumped my head on the 
catwalk and everything went gray. | came to in 
the infirmary. 


Fullbrush: Is there anything else you 
remember, anything important? 


O'Foote: | don't know. That man... that man 


was so strange and so angry. He kept talking 
about jailers and injustice. When he cut me he 
called it a "snake bite" but said something 
about having no poison. Ugh. | honestly don't 
know if that's important or not. [pause] 


Fullbrush: We can continue this later if you 
like. Give you some more time to deal with it? 


O'Foote: I'd like that. It's just a lot to chew. T 
was a kind soul, a good friend.

SCP-1837: Acid Mop 


Item #: SCP-1837 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1837 is to be suspended 
in a liquid containment unit, located within site-77's Safe SCP 
wing. Currents are to be created within this unit, keeping it 
suspended in the center of the unit at all times. Daily maintenance is 
to be performed to ensure no mechanical errors occur. In the event 
that SCP-1837 breaches containment, security teams with hoses 
are to bombard the affected area with a basic solution until it can be 
re-contained. Fire extinguishing systems may also be activated. 


Diluted samples of its excretions are to be contained in Site-77's 
chemical hazard research center, where they are available for 
testing and are currently in use for containment of SCP-122. 


Description: SCP-1837 is a cleaning mop, with a handle 
constructed out of wood and the mop portion of wool cloth. 


The head portion of SCP-1837 is constantly exuding an acidic liquid. 
Any solid surface coming into direct contact with this acid will 
disintegrate over a period of several hours, depending on the 
composition of the material. If exposed to other liquids, the effect will 
be reduced, with complete dilution occurring when SCP-1837's acid 
is at 10000ppm. 


When exposed to environments affected by its effect, SCP-1837 will 
become animate and attempt to repair the damage or disfigurement 
the acid has caused. SCP-1837 achieves motion by autonomously 
gliding along smooth surfaces. It is unable to move past simple 
barricades but due to its effects most obstacles will eventually be 
destroyed. 


Occasionally, other behaviors will be observed by SCP-1837, such 


as attempting to prevent itself from coming into contact with a solid 
surface, obtaining various cleaning materials to try and remove 
SCP-1837-2 and hiding when a human subject discovers it. In 
addition, SCP-1837 has been observed cleaning rubble and other 
damages created by its effect or outside sources. 


SCP-1837 was contained after a containment breach by SCP-039 
with SCP-1957 and E-4250, on 11/14/ _.. During the re-containment 
operations, SCP-1837 was found surrounded by a large pool of 
SCP-1837-2. Containment specialists have theorized that SCP-1837 
had been created by cross-exposure to the anomalous effects, or 
had been planted in Site-77 by outside forces during the breach. 
SCP-1837 was contained and classified as Safe on 2/13/ 


Addendum: On 11/16/ __, Site-77 was assaulted by individuals 
believed to be connected to the [REDACTED] group. After-action 
analysis of security logs shows that SCP-1837's containment was 
accidentally breached by [REDACTED] as part of an explosive entry 
into the Safe level containment wing. SCP-1837 appeared to hover 
over the rubble before rapidly progressing behind the intruders, 
attempting to remove the rubble they left behind. It reached 
[REDACTED] where they were engaging on-site Security and 
proceeded to transmute the floor they were under into a pool of its 
acid, causing 11 deaths and 6 casualties. This effectively ended the 
incident and allowed MTF-Psi-7 to restore containment.
