SCP-3377: Benevolent Wine Connoisseur 


Item #: SCP-3377 
Object Class: Thaumiel 


Special Containment Procedures: Protocol Bacchus’ is to be 
carried out at each Foundation containment and administrative site, 
unless specified otherwise by Site Command2. Provisional Site-386 
has been set up in the Loire region of France in order to produce 
wine for the enactment of Protocol Bacchus. 


No further containment is necessary. 


Description: SCP-3377 is a hypothesised class-lV reality bending 
entity or collection of entities. Whilst no direct contact has yet been 
made with SCP-3377, evidence suggests the presence of an 
extremely powerful being (or beings) present on an adjacent reality 
to baseline, capable of interacting with baseline reality providing 
specific conditions are met. SCP-3377 appears benevolent, 
seemingly reducing the likelihood of anomalous damage occurring in 
an area where the conditions of Protocol Bacchus are met. 
SCP-3377 has also been known to leave "gifts" in exchange for wine 
when under the conditions of Protocol Bacchus. Such gifts are 
generally of a similar nature, being highly valuable and related in 
some degree to grapes or wine. An example of such, recovered at 
Site-17, is a living grapevine seemingly made of solid gold (item 
retained at Site-17 for further study). Efforts to establish 
communication with SCP-3377 are ongoing. 


SCP-3377 was first discovered when routine examinations of 
patterns of anomalous events revealed statistically significant low 
cases of events in central France, particularly in the Loire Valley 
region. After investigative agents were dispatched it was found that 
these areas were centered around vineyards, leading to the 
research and development of Protocol Bacchus. 


known human populations in the area by 
nearly ten-thousand years. 


Dr. Richards: [Shows a photo of 
SCP-435-2] Do you know what this is? 


: Y-yes. 
Dr. Richards: Is it “He-Who-Made-Dark”? 
: No. [pauses] It is his shadow. 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: The non-material nature 
of SCP-435-2 lends credence to the 
hypothesis that it is a projected effect from an 
unknown extra-dimensional entity somehow 
bound to SCP-435-1. While dumping the rock 
into SCP- and making it another universe’s 
problem is tempting, it seems possible that the 
actual effect would be to only transport 
SCP-435-1 without transporting the entity it 
appears to contain, releasing “He-Who-Made- 
Dark’ into the material universe. Therefore 
Contingency 435-Xk-Alpha is only a last 
resort. — O5-

Addendum 1 - Protocol Bacchus: Protocol Bacchus was first 
developed in 1978 by Researcher Turei after the discovery of an 
inhibitory effect on anomalous activity around French vineyards, 
particularly those of the Loire Valley. Whilst the first iteration of 
Protocol Bacchus was very simple, over time it has become more 
complex, and thus more effective. Currently, Protocol Bacchus is on 
its 17) iteration, and is due to be reviewed on 28/06/2019. 


Protocol Bacchus consists of the following steps: 


¢ All Foundation sites are to contain a wine cellar 
comprised of stone, kept underground where 
possible. 

¢ Wine cellars must contain at least 200 bottles of 

wine with a combined value of at least $8000 USD. 

At least 50% of the wine in each cellar must come 

from France, with 20% of the total wine obtained 

from the Loire Valley. 

« Wine cellar humidity must be maintained at 
approximately 75%, with a temperature of 
approximately 13°C, and a light intensity of less 
than 120 Ix. 

¢ At least once a month, one bottle of wine in each 
cellar must be removed and consumed by two 
members of Foundation staff alongside a meal of 
rare steak in a Bearnaise sauce, with freshly-fried 
potato. The bottle should then be replaced within 4 
days.

SCP-3378: Info Drones 


Item #: SCP-3378 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Hospitals and walk-in clinics in 
areas surrounding SCP-3378 outbreaks are to be warned through 
our CDC contacts of an antibiotic resistant strain of legionella 
pneumophila. As the common strain of Legionnaires Disease has a 
5-10% mortality rate, higher for victims with comprised immune 
systems, this will provide cover for the quarantine and eventual 
possible death of SCP-3378-1 instances. 


Patients at these facilities that report symptoms of congestion are to 
be screened for SCP-3378. If results are positive, they will be sent to 
Site-104 for quarantine. for quarantine until removal surgery can be 
performed. After surgery, Patients will be held indefinitely in high 
security quarantine at a Foundation-owned care facility due to 
‘compromised immune systems,’ but will be allowed limited 
visitation. 


A facility has been constructed at Site-104 specifically for the 
containment of instances of SCP-3378-1. Containment Wing-3378 is 
six thousand square feet in size, and has been built with reinforced 
airlock doors at the main entrance and between internal quarantine 
wards. Banks of televisions have been set in up inside Containment 
Wing-3378 playing various news channels on a twenty-four hour 
basis, as have as multiple bookshelves capable of containing 
approximately 1000 books. These books are to be rotated on a bi- 
weekly basis. At a designated time on a daily basis, SCP-3378-1 
instances will be fed by tube with a slurry containing all daily 
nutrients needed to sustain an average human adult. Hygienic 
matters are dealt with on a case by case basis. 


All personal entering Containment Wing-3378 are to wear Level A 
Biohazard suits. After exiting Containment Wing-3378, personnel 


must undergo a strict decontamination process, followed by a 
screening for SCP-3378. This process must be repeated until all 
traces of SCP-3378 are removed. After removal of the Biohazard 
suits, personnel must undergo screening for SCP-3378-1 infection. 
Any personnel found to be infected with SCP-3378 are to be 
designated as an instance of SCP-3378-1, and immediately 
confined to Containment Wing-3378 be sent to the medical wing to 
undergo treatment and removal surgery before secondary infection 
can be established. 


Description: SCP-3378 is a plant species with small seeds similar 
in structure to pollen. While SCP-3378's DNA does not correspond 
with any currently known species, it has been determined to be part 
of the genus fraxinus.! Currently, the origin of SCP-3378 is 
unknown, though it has most commonly appeared in the 
Scandinavian Peninsula, followed by the Eastern region of the 
United States and Sri Lanka. 


When inhaled by a human, SCP-3378 seeds will embed in the tissue 
of the nasal cavity with specialized barbs. After securing itself by 
establishing roots, small branches will begin to grow. During this 
stage, subjects (henceforth referred to as SCP-3378-1) will report 
severe congestion and difficulty breathing. SCP-3378 seems to use 
blood from the subject as a source of nutrition. For the next three 
days, SCP-3378 branches will extend throughout the nasal cavity 
and sinuses, and eventually enter the cranium. The branches will 
proceed to grow along the Corpus Callosum, and into the subject’s 
cerebellum along the white matter of the Arbor Vitae. At this stage, 
SCP-3378-1 will enter a comatose state for the next twelve hours, 
after which they will 'awaken' with SCP-3378 in complete control of 
SCP-3378-1’s nervous system. 


The primary goal of an SCP-3378-1 instance is to seek information, 
usually from media such as books or television. When an instance of 
SCP-3378-1 has chosen an information source, it will begin to 
interface with this source to the exclusion of all other stimuli. The 
only form of media that SCP-3378-1 instances have been known to 
refuse are those that involve more complex user interaction, such as 
video games. If an information source is removed from an 
SCP-3378 instance, it will seek another. If an SCP-3378-1 instance 


is prevented from obtaining an information source with which to 
interact, it will slide into a catatonic state, and SCP-3378 will begin 
to spread throughout the host body. As of December 22, 20 this is 
to be prevented at all cost. See Incident 3378-1-07. 


Addendum 3378-A: Incident 3378-1-07 


On December 22nd, 20 , SCP-3378-1-07, the first of several 
subjects prevented from interacting with information sources, spoke 
for the first time since succumbing to the effects of SCP-3378. At 
first it began mumbling incomprehensibly. After four minutes, 
SCP-3378-1-07 began to scream and cry. Lead researcher Dr. 
Murren entered and attempted to sedate SCP-3378-1-07. When Dr. 
Murren reached its bedside, SCP-3378-1-07 sat up and seized Dr. 
Murren by the arms, ripping his biohazard suit, and proceeded to 
throw him across the room, breaking his wrist. Security personnel 
entered and attempted unsuccessfully to immobilize 
SCP-3378-1-07. During debriefing, all personnel involved described 
SCP-3378-1-07 as possessing an unusual degree of strength, 
especially for someone who had been catatonic for several weeks. 
After two members of the security team had been thrown against the 
walls of the quarantine chamber with enough force to knock them 
unconscious, Agent Harvey shot SCP-3378-1-07, resulting in its 
death. 


Agent Harvey began to assist Dr. Murren, and the unconscious 
members of the security team, to the exit, but they were unable to 
make it into the airlock before SCP-3378-1-07’s chest cavity 
exploded, releasing a cloud consisting of thousands of SCP-3378 
seeds. While all other personnel were protected, Dr. Murren was 
confirmed to be infected with SCP-3378 and confined to 
Containment Wing-3378 quarantine. Before entering into the 
comatose state during the early stages of his infection, Dr. Murren 
reported that the phrases SCP-3378-1-07 had repeated during the 
incident included “the great unwriting is upon us” and “everything we 
know will be swallowed whole.” 


All SCP-3378-1 subjects who had been prevented from interacting 
from information sources were immediately exposed to one of the 
television banks, and have since resumed regular SCP-3378- 1 
behavior. 


Addendum 3378-B 


After eight months as an SCP-3378-1 instance, surgeons were able 
to successfully remove SCP-3378 from Dr. Murren by utilizing 
3488L-149, a new chemical compound developed from reptilian 
digestive enzymes. Afterwards, Dr. Murren was interviewed by 
psychiatrist Dr. Jakoby. 


Interview Log - 3378-01 
Interviewer: Dr. Jakoby 
Interviewed: Dr. Murren 
[Begin Log] 
Dr. Jakoby: So... how are you feeling? 
Dr. Murren: Alright, | guess. | feel a bit sore. 


Dr. Jakoby: Do you have any recollection of the day you 
became infected? 


Dr. Murren: Heh. | remember that bastard throwing me 
across the room and exploding. 


Dr. Jakoby: Hmm. Must’ve been a real shocker. 
Dr. Murren: Sure was. 


Dr. Jakoby: Heh. Ok, uh... Did you “feel” anything while 
you were being controlled? 


Dr. Murren: Yes...? It was...weird. 
Dr. Jakoby: Please explain. 


Dr. Murren: It... it was like | was floating in a void. | was 
completely naked. There was no light source but | could 
still see myself. | wasn’t really aware of time passing. | 
know you Said that thing had control over me for eight 
months, but it felt like a few hours at most. But | wasn’t 


worried. Or afraid, until... 
(Dr. Murren pauses) 
Dr. Jakoby: Are you alright, Rob? 


Dr. Murren: Hmm? Oh! Yeah... | was just, uh, thinking 
about the dragon. 


Dr. Jakoby: Dragon? 


Dr. Murren: Well...dragon isn’t quite right. | only saw it 
briefly, and it happened right before | came back. There 
was this giant reptile, | wasn’t able to make out what 
exactly it was. All it did was float past about five meters 
away from me and then vanished. And that was the only 
point | was scared. Other than that, it was just the void. 


Dr. Jakoby: Ok, | think we’re done here.

SCP-3379: D-11424 and the Arctic Meat Hole of 
Infinite Wonders 


Item #: SCP-3379 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All sea traffic within 15 km of 
SCP-3379 is to be rerouted. Two boats are to patrol the area 
surrounding SCP-3379. SCP-3379-1 instances are to be delivered 
to the nearest Research Site for study. 


Description: SCP-3379 is a rectangular portal approximately 8m 
beneath the surface of the Arctic ocean, measuring 10m by 15m and 
surrounded by a concrete frame. SCP-3379 is located 12 km north 
of Bolshevik Island, Russia. 


Objects, hereafter designated SCP-3379-1, sporadically emerge 
from SCP-3379 and float to the surface. No pattern has yet been 
found to the timing of SCP-3379-1 manifestations. 


SCP-3379-1 instances vary widely in composition and appearance. 
Approximately 70% of SCP-3379-1 instances appear to be 
carcasses of living organisms, in various states of preservation. As 
of 1/1/2018, over 350 instances have been recovered. 


instance Description 

3379-1 -03 A dead albino walrus (Odobenus 
rosmarus). Displays no other 
anomalous properties. 

3379-1-11 A mass of fat and bone 
fragments. DNA sequences 
appear cetacean in origin but do 
not completely match any known 
species. 

3379-1-41 Twelve sets of gills wrapped in a 
synthetic polymer package. DNA 


sequences match those of 
SCP-924. 


3379-1 -62 A large glass jar containing shark 
fins Suspended in a Saline gel. 

3379-1-89 A 16-meter-long elasmosaur 
neck, heavily decomposed. 

3379-1-119 A mason jar containing an 


unidentified liquid. Exposure to 
the liquid causes strong nostalgic 
feelings. Chemical analysis of the 
liquid revealed the presence of 
sodium chloride, ethanol, 
piperine, beta-endorphin, and 
several dozen uncharacterized 
organic compounds. 


To date, SCP-3379's edge can only be crossed by sentient beings. 
Testing with fish equipped with cameras failed to reveal any hostile 
forces on the other side of the edge; thus, a preliminary exploration 
was approved. 


Exploration Log 3379-1 


Foreword: D-11424 was provided with an 
insulated wetsuit, a knife, a flashlight, a 
camera, and 2 hours of air supply, as well as a 
radio communications device in order to relay 
back to Dr. Arceo, the exploration coordinator. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


(D-11424 appears approximately four meters 
from the precipice of SCP-3379.) 


Dr. Arceo: Everything looks good. Ready? 


D-11424: Well, | did say | always wanted to be 
a diver. Let's do this. 


Dr. Arceo: Alright. Remember to call out 
things as you see them. 


D-11424: Got it. 
Dr. Arceo: Proceed through SCP-3379. 
D-11424: 'Kay, going in. 


(D-11424 swims through SCP-3379 and 
disappears from external view. D-11424's 
camera shows a large number of concrete 
gates similar in appearance to SCP-3379, 
arranged in a 2-dimensional grid pattern. 
Surroundings are indistinct, as the lighting is 
low, but ground appears contiguous with the 
ocean floor. D-11424 does not appear to 
notice this, as he is facing downwards while 
continuing to swim.) 


Dr. Arceo: Can you still hear me? 
D-11424: Loud and clear, doctor. 
Dr. Arceo: Describe your surroundings. 


D-11424: Huh. | still feel like I'm in water, but 
I'm able to stand on the ground. | see... whoa. 


Dr. Arceo: Continue. 


D-11424: There's a sort of wall, here. There's 
hundreds of concrete gates just like the one | 
just went through all lined up.
