This ts the excerpt that's been concerning me. It's when 
Site Director Khanna gets a bit pushier with his 
questions. If what he says is true... No, it can't be. It 
definitely can't. Give this a look and tell me your 
thoughts. - O5-9 


[BEGIN LOG EXCERPT] 


<22:09> Khanna: "Say, SCP-2442. Can | ask 
you some questions while you skim through 
the objects we have here?" 


<22:09> SCP-2442: "Ask anything you like, 
Site Director. I'll answer as honestly as | can." 


<22:10> Khanna: "Who are you talking to? 
Why are they important? What are you doing? 
Why are you doing it?" 


<22:10> SCP-2442: "My goodness, filled with 
curiosity, aren't you?" SCP-2442 laughs. "I'll 
answer you with one of my own. Where is this 
place?" 


<22:11> Khanna: "This place is called a Site, 
a place in which the Foundation-" 


<22:11> SCP-2442: "The foundation of what?" 


<22:11> Khanna: "What? No, it's the 
Foundation-" 


<22:11> SCP-2442: "The only Foundation 
here is the one under our feet. The 
Foundation. Of what, exactly? What is it the 
foundation to? Or perhaps | should ask, who is 
it the foundation to?" 


<22:12> Khanna: "/ don't understand. It's just 
an organization called the Foundation. It isn't 
the foundation of something. Unless you 
mean..." 


<22:13> SCP-2442: "Ah, and there goes the 
lightbulb. Excuse me, do you mind if | explain 
everything? Are you ready for that, now?" 
SCP-2442 appears to be talking to a corner of 
the room where a decorative plant sits. The 
plant moves. The rustling vaguely sounds like 
a woman whispering ‘yes’. 


<22:14> SCP-2442: "Listen here, Revant. | 
want to show you something. Yes, | know your 


SCP-269: Dialysis Bracelet 


Item #: SCP-269 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-269 is stored ina 
standard Safe-class secure locker at Site-19. Experimentation with 
SCP-269 may only be performed on Class D personnel, and only 
with prior approval from at least two (2) Level 3 Senior Researchers. 


Description: SCP-269 is an unmarked bracelet composed of red 
jade approximately 11 cm in diameter in its inactive state. SCP-269 
exhibits unusual resilience as all attempts at obtaining a sample 
have failed to date, as well as constantly maintaining a temperature 
of approximately 36°C regardless of ambient room temperature. 


When placed on the wrist or ankle of a living human subject, 
SCP-269 contracts to fit tightly but comfortably over the extremity. 
Over the next 24 hours, SCP-269 extends flexible tendrils that 
integrate with its host's circulatory system through the ulnar and 
radial arteries, a process described by test subjects as being 
painless but mildly uncomfortable. Upon completion of this process, 
SCP-269 cannot be removed from its host without amputating the 
affected hand or foot. 


Once SCP-269 is fully integrated, it will begin to filter substances 
from its host's bloodstream. How this is done is not fully understood, 
but the process occurs over three stages: 


In the first stage, SCP-269 will begin to filter contaminants and 
infectious agents such as blood-borne bacteria and viruses. This 
includes many disease agents that are currently incurable such as 
the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); SCP-269 appears to be 
capable of identifying and isolating infected blood cells from healthy 
ones. As this process often results in a general improvement in the 
health of the host, the host may resist attempts to have SCP-269 


name. But, you already know mine, too." 
SCP-2442 pulls out a picture from his coat 
pocket. No such picture was recorded on 
SCP-2442's person prior to failure of 
containment. The photograph is a picture of a 
woman, approximately middle aged with brown 
hair and brown eyes. "Do you recognize this 
woman?" 


<22:14> Khanna: "/ don't... Yes. | do. | know 
her. | tutored her when she was young. But 
that was... that was so long ago, when | was... 
When | was the same age as | am now. That 
isn't-" 


<22:15> SCP-2442: "Revant. Look at me. Do 
you recognize me? Who am |? I'm sure you 
know, because you know her so well." 


<22:16> Khanna: "...Doctor Vestergaar- No, 
you told me to call you Thomas. Thomas. 
We're doing this because | had such difficulty 
in our previous sessions, | remember." Site 
Director Knanna's voice becomes that of an 
American woman and remains as such for the 
remainder of the session. Site Director Knanna 
is a Punjabi male. 


<22:17> SCP-2442: "That's right, I'm Thomas, 
your friend. When the first sessions failed, | 
had to take a deeper look into how your mind 
has structured itself. It's become fairly clear 
now why the previous attempts to teach 
different coping mechanisms didn't work. They 
had become splinter groups here, competition. 
| think the personnel called them-" 


<22:18> Khanna: "Groups of Interest." Site 
Director Khanna begins to cry. "Thomas, I'm 
so sorry. There's so many of them, so many of 
these... memories I've put away. That | 


couldn't handle. | don't know if | can do it. It's 
too hard." 


<22:19> SCP-2442: "It's okay, Stacie. We'll 
get there, bit by bit. You and me, together. You 
don't have to face all of this alone anymore. 
Look how much you've already learned to let 
go, how far you've come." SCP-2442 reaches 
over and squeezes Site Director Khanna's left 
hand. "Remember when we started, what | told 
you. | can only find them, but you-" 


<22:20> Khanna: "/ /earn to let them go and 
move on. | know. I'm with you, Thomas. Can 
we- Can we end the session now?" There is 
banging on the door as Agents and 
arrive on the scene to return SCP-2442 to its 
containment. 


<22:21> SCP-2442: "Of course. Time's just 
about up now, anyways. I'll see you later, 
Stacie. Remember if you need anything, you 
can call me." Agents and —_ break down 
the door and sedate SCP-2442 without 
resistance.

SCP-2443: A Heap of Deloaches 


Item #: SCP-2443 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2443 is to be contained 
within a warehouse. Contingent on cooperation, SCP-2443 is to be 
allowed three hours daily in an outdoor enclosure, surrounded by a 
8,000 volt electric fence. The fence is to be no less than 12 meters 
in height. 


Description: SCP-2443-01 through -159 is the collective 
designation for the 159 individual members of the Deloach family of 
Pollensbee, TN, arranged in a rough pile approximately 4 m in 
height. Despite the significant weight of SCP-2443, estimated to be 
roughly 11 metric tons, individuals in the middle and bottom are able 
to breath and converse freely, describing the sensation as "snug." 
Attempts to forcibly remove individuals from SCP-2443 have been 
unsuccessful and have caused considerable distress, both to the 
individual and SCP-2443 as a whole. 


All members of SCP-2443 possess an acute sense of the current 
activities and past histories of other members, despite a complete 
lack of audible communication. When prompted by researchers, 
instances of SCP-2443 will recall gossip, historical anecdotes, and 
folk tales typical to the region, albeit with the inclusion of several that 
describe in fantastic fashion the circumstances leading to the 
formation of SCP-2443. 


The topmost individual of SCP-2443, SCP-2443-01 identifies itself 
as Ephraim George Deloach, a subsistence farmer born in 
Pollensbee in 1858. The other individuals of SCP-2448 all claim 
direct descent from SCP-2443-01, and range in claimed age from 4 
to 138. Infants are apparently added to the bottom of SCP-2443 at 
an average rate of 1.5 per year. The means by which this process 
occurs is unclear, and individuals within SCP-2443 have been 


unwilling to discuss it. Although DNA testing confirms that all 
members of SCP-2443 are related, genetic variation between 
members is well within the parameters for a normal family. The 
source of genetic diversity within SCP-2443 is not presently known. 


While to date, no individual contained within SCP-2443 has died, 
individuals are still susceptible to physical and mental deterioration, 
with the topmost individuals frequently being in advanced stages of 
dementia and senility. 


Although SCP-2443-01 through -159 are tightly packed, the bottom 
of SCP-2443 contains a single gap, visible from the outside of the 
pile, roughly able to accommodate an adult male (see Interview 
2443-i8-49R and Addendum 2443-w10-22B). The presence of this 
gap does not appear to affect the physical integrity of the pile. 
SCP-2443 is capable of movement at a rate of roughly 45 m/day. 
The process by which this locomotion is effected is not presently 
understood. 


Of the 159 individuals constituting SCP-2443, conversation is 
generally possible only with half at any given time, with the rest 
being in such a position that only their lower body is visible to the 
outside of SCP-2443. However, individuals within SCP-2443 move 
periodically, primarily by writhing. Each individual in the pile 
possesses a distinctive name and identity, but to date, none have 
been able or willing to leave the pile, even when offered assistance 
in doing so. If repeatedly prompted about leaving SCP-2443, 
individuals will become highly agitated. 


Interview 2443-i8-49R: 


On //1983, Researcher Susan Burke conducted an 
interview with SCP-2443-15, identified as Lillian Esther 
Deloach, roughly 95 years of age. Because 
SCP-2443-15 was located more than 4 m from the 
ground, Researcher Burke utilized a cherry picker to 
conduct the interview. At the time, SCP-2443-15 had one 
arm free from the larger mass of SCP-2443. 


Researcher Burke: Hello, SCP-2443-15. 
SCP-2443-15: Hi, there! And it's Maw-maw, dear. Or 


Miss Lilly. 

Researcher Burke: Can you please tell me a bit about 
how you came to your present situation? 

SCP-2443-15: [laughs] | know how it must seem to you. 
And, tell the truth, it can madden a soul greatly to live in 
such a constant ruckus. However, | do not believe that | 
would ever choose another life, given the opportunity. 
Here | sit, feeling the family on me, giving me my place, 
me giving everyone theirs. 

Researcher Burke: Interesting, but could you please 
discuss how you came into your current situation? 
SCP-2443-15: | don't recall a time when | wasn't in this 
situation, dear. | first remember a time - even at the top 
of the mountain, you couldn't see a home for miles. We 
were smaller then. Not as much to hold us down. But we 
understood the importance of it all. 

Researcher Burke: Has SCP-2443-01 explained the 
manner in which this... situation came into existence? 
SCP-2443-15: You mean Paw-paw? He was never one 
for talking, but we always knew where his heart was at. 
There's a story that he saw some rocks covered in moss 
and thought they was apples. He ate so many that when 
he got home and went... you know, to bed with his wife 
(SCP-2443-15 indicates SCP-2443-02, identified as 
Hester Louisa Deloach, common-law wife of 
SCP-2443-1), he got on top of her and couldn't get off. 
And so here we are. 

Researcher Burke: SCP-2443-15, would you mind 
describing what your life is like within SCP-2443? 
SCP-2443-15: Like | said, dear, it's Miss Lilly. 

At this point, other individuals within SCP-2443 became 
noticeably agitated, moving far more than normal and 
making angry vocalizations. Although Researcher Burke 
received a formal reprimand for breaking object 
designation protocol, the disciplinary action was later 
withdrawn. 

Researcher Burke: | apologize. Miss Lilly, would you 
mind describing what your life is like? 

SCP-2443-15: Not at all, dear. It's difficult, | suppose, 
being with everyone. But it feels right. Uncle Bubba 


(indicates SCP-2443-08, Aubrey Ezekiel Deloach), he 
rightly drives me mad, speaking so much about when the 
plants come out and such. But | love him. And | know for 
a fact that some of the younger ones below bristle a bit, 
but that they still love me despite their protests. It's a 
wicked world out there, one without a place to call home 
for many. But here? | know my place exactly. And so 
does everyone else. 

Researcher Burke: Could you talk a little bit about the 
hole towards the bottom, Miss Lilly? 

SCP-2443-15: Jacob was always a trouble-maker. | 
loved him like one of my own - he's my great-great 
nephew, you know? - but he was always restless. Even 
as a baby, he squirmed down there. We could all feel it. 
Then, one day, we woke and he was gone. Scattered 
himself to the wind. But we still wait for him. 

Researcher Burke: How do you manage to keep the 
hole open like that? The weight alone should force it 
closed. 

SCP-2443-15: There's always a space for family, dear. 
Even the ones who don't realize how much they need us, 
there's a space for them. 


Attempts to locate a Jacob Deloach have, to date, been 
unsuccessful.

SCP-2445: Wondertainment Logistics 


Item #: SCP-2445 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2445 is to be kept within 
the AVB (Anomalous Vehicle Bay) at Site-81. 


Description: SCP-2445 is a white, mostly unmarked tractor trailer. 
Of note is the inclusion of a label on the bottom right of the rightmost 
back door, which reads: 


Wondertainment Logistics Co. 
A Division of Dr. Wondertainment Inc. 


Beneath the engine hood of SCP-2445's truck section is a modified 
engine component, designated SCP-2445-1, capable of producing 
significantly more power than that of a standard semi-truck. 
SCP-2445-1 is routed to a machine within the cab, designated 
SCP-2445-2, which is currently believed to be the source of 
SCP-2445's anomalous characteristics. 


SCP-2445-2 is a black, metallic cube, measuring at 0.6m x 0.6m x 
0.6m, that sits between the driver's and passenger's seat in the cab 
of SCP-2445. Attempts to open or inspect the interior of SCP-2445-2 
have been unsuccessful. Two large cables connect SCP-2445-1 to 
SCP-2445-2 through the dashboard of the cab. Eight smaller cables 
run from the SCP-2445-2 into the dashboard, on which sits a large 
touchscreen. Across the top of this screen are the words 
"WonderVision". This screen appears to be the control module for 
SCP-2445-2, and is activated whenever SCP-2445 is started. 


When activated, the control screen for SCP-2445-2 displays an intro 
message, and then changes to a login screen. Login requirements 
appear to be a username, password, skin sample, and retinal scan. 


After logging in, several options are listed. The options, and their 
function, are as follows. 


* WonderFinder: Displays a heat map of the region 
surrounding SCP-2445. The function of this option appears to 
be as a means of locating delivery sites. Areas containing a 
high concentration of young children, such as a school or 
park, appear dark red. 


¢ WonderHider: Activates a mechanism that renders the 
entirety of SCP-2445 invisible to the naked eye. 


* WonderZoom: Creates a temporal anomaly surrounding 
SCP-2445, appearing to significantly slow the flow of time 
outside of SCP-2445 in relation to the interior, allowing 
SCP-2445 to move through space as if time was standing still. 
While active, an additional indicator light titled 
"WonderSpatialDistortionFixer" also illuminates.
