servers of the Foundation from an alternate timeline. To date these 
two instances of the Foundation? have only been able to interact by 
minor footnote and bibliographic reference alterations to documents 
with shared intranet locations.4 Notations from baseline reality have 
the conventional "Footnotes" titling of the in-text and post-text 
citations; notations from SCP-2242-1 are labeled as "Reference" in- 
text and do not appear in a post-text citation block. Access to the 
SCP-2242-1 version of documents occurs at random intervals when 
attempting to access any intranet location extant within both 
realities, and it is understood that this effect is comparable within 
SCP-2242-1. 


Circumstantial evidence has led to the standing hypothesis that 
knowledge of SCP-2242 has not become ubiquitous among all 
Foundation personnel in SCP-2242-1 who would have had contact 
with affected documentation. It is instead believed that the 
information has been confined to personnel within the Information 
Technology Department, a small group of personnel from various 
other departments, and at least one member of the O5 Council. 


SCP-2242-1 has thus far been understood to conform to the same 
theories of physics as believed to govern baseline reality. Current 
estimates based on collected data hypothesize SCP-2242-1 to be 
approximately 97% identical to baseline reality; while the differences 
between the two timelines have resulted in some variations, all 
major historical events appear to be generally intact.4 


Discovery: The first appearance of SCP-2242 activity was recorded 
on 01/13/2016, approximately forty-eight hours after the release of 
FOS 14.1; this has since been identified as coinciding with the 
release of FOS 14.11 in SCP-2242-1.5 Integration of reference 
notations from both realities was complete within the following 
twenty-four hours. 


Initial theories presumed that the notations likely stemmed from a 
non-anomalous source, with the prevailing theory quickly becoming 
that of a cyber attack by an unspecified GOI. The lack of any coding 
on affected pages to correspond with the notations from 
SCP-2242-1 was discovered shortly thereafter, prompting 
reevaluation for potential anomalous properties. Further 
communication with the authors of the notations led to the current 


abandoned for at least fifty (50) years. 


At irregular intervals, animals will appear within the zoo’s confines 
through an unknown manner. These animals appear in the various 
enclosures at random intervals. Simultaneously, a hand-written 
manual appears at the entrance of the zoo inside the ticket booth. 
These guides detail the proper care and feeding of each organism 
and sometimes reveal information about its origin and acquisition. 
The animals vary widely in appearance, behaviour, and 
classification; many do not appear to be related to any terrestrial 
animals. There does not appear to be any schedule as to when 
these animals are delivered. See Acquisition Log W-257 fora 
complete list of animals delivered in the past years. 


On // 


, the following typewritten note was discovered pinned to 


the entrance of SCP-257 along with a guide. 


FROM THE DESK OF PROFESSOR WILLIAM 
WOODSWORTH, EXPLORER AND NATURALIST 


To the esteemed gentlemen and zoological enthusiasts 
of the Special Containment Procedures Foundation: 


As you are no doubt aware by now, | have decided to 
entrust you with my zoo and my collection of rare and 
exotic animals while | take a leave of absence. You are 


straight-thinking and responsible men of science and you 
will no doubt be able to look after them. After my travels 
through [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED], 
I've decided to visit the thirteenth moon of Enouious as 
the next stop on my safari. Naturalists and learned men 
such as yourselves will no doubt enjoy studying some of 
the splendid and vital creatures that I’ve discovered here. 
The viewing public will appreciate the new additions to 
my collection- they’re like nothing I’ve ever seen! | 
cannot write much longer; my indigene guides and | will 
be up early tomorrow to check the traps. 


Keep up the good work! 


- Regards, Professor William Woodsworth 


understanding of the situation. Verification of this phenomenon as 
authentic and anomalous was not determined until O5-7 reported 
receiving a communication? from their analogue within SCP-2242- 1 
confirming the existence of an extradimensional information breach. 


Notable Statistical Disparities Within SCP-2242-1: 
+ Level 2 Security Clearance Required. 


Researcher's Note: The following statistics are presented 
as examples of the variance recorded between baseline 
reality and that of SCP-2242-1. It is not to be taken as a 
comprehensive list. Unabridged access to full 
demographic statistics is limited to personnel of Level 4 
Security Clearance. 


Population 


¢ Total global population of SCP-2242-1 is estimated 
at 7.1 billion, approximately 300 million fewer than 
baseline reality. No significant alterations to 
historical events have currently been identified to 
account for this large of a disparity. 

Left-handed individuals are estimated to make up 
14% of the population of SCP-2242-1, as opposed 
to the approximately 10% in baseline reality. 
Approximately one out of every 129 individuals in 
one timeline has never existed in the other 
timeline. 


© Atleast 77 Foundation personnel in baseline 
reality have no record of employment with 
the Foundation in SCP-2242-1. Twenty- 
three of these individuals have no records of 
ever existing within SCP-2242-1. 

© Atleast 86 of SCP-2242-1's Foundation's 
personnel have no record of employment 
with baseline reality's Foundation. Twenty- 
two of these individuals have no records of 
ever existing in this timeline. 


Anomalous 


¢ Classification policies of the Foundation within 
SCP-2242-1 are significantly more cautious. 


© Fifty-one objects from our Log of Anomalous 
ltems have been given full SCP Item 
classifications within SCP-2242-1. Because 
of this, numerical designations for dozens of 
entries are inconsistent between the 
timelines. 

© In 13 cases, Items classified as Safe by our 
Foundation have been designated Euclid by 
SCP-2242-1's Foundation. 

© In 35 cases, Items classified as Euclid by 
our Foundation have been designated Keter 
by SCP-2242-1's Foundation. 

© In two cases, Items classified as Safe by our 
Foundation have been designated Keter by 
SCP-2242-1's Foundation. 

© [DATA EXPUNGED] 


¢ A total of 19 Items previously undiscovered by our 
Foundation were identified by the records of the 
Foundation within SCP-2242-1. 


© Six of these Items have since been 
contained. 


* SCP-2242-1's Foundation had not previously 
identified 28 Items within our records. 


© Ten of these Items have since been 
contained. 


Addendum 01/29/2016: Recent reports from SCP-2242-1 confirm 
that the phenomenon has expanded to include additional realities.6¢ 
Preliminary communication between SCP-2242-1 and these new 
instances, which have been designated SCP-2242-1-(1~7), 
indicates that the phenomenon continues to be isolated within 


Foundation intranet servers across all realities. Of note is increased 
variation in the affected FOS iterations, which now range from 
version 12.5 (in SCP-2242-1-2) to version 16.1.1 (in SCP-2242-1-5). 
Non-essential access to FOS 14.1 has been suspended while the 
extent of this effect and the potential fallout scenarios are 
determined; reversion to FOS 13.6 is currently underway.

SCP-2243: Peep Peepers 


Item #: SCP-2243 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2243 is to be kept in a 
33x50x63 cm enclosure. The enclosure must contain no fewer than 
two containers containing a seed mixture with nutrient levels suitable 
for Lonchura striata domestica, 2 water containers and, at the 
request of SCP-2243-B, at least one water container must be large 
enough for "splashy time". 


The enclosure is to be cleaned and maintained bi-weekly by level 2 
personnel. The enclosure may be changed and additional features 
added at the request of SCP-2243-A or SCP-2243-B with Site 
Director approval. 


SCP-2243 shall be made available for translator services with Site 
Director approval. 


Description: Separately SCP-2243-A, SCP-2243-B, SCP-2243-C 
behave as one would expect objects and creatures they resemble to 
behave. When placed within 1.9 m of each other SCP-2243 
becomes active. 


SCP-2243 is a collection of three entities, SCP-2243-A, SCP-2248- 
B, and SCP-2243-C. SCP-2243-A refers to itself as "Daisy" and 
SCP-2243-B refers to itself as "Tissle"!. SCP-2243-C does not 
display any cognitive awareness or sentience as of this writing. 


Mobile Task Force Operative (henceforth referred to as 
MTFO) purchased both SCP-2243-A and SCP-2243-B at the pet 
supply chain . Both appear to be female Lonchura striata 
domestica, more commonly known as Society Finches. MTFO 
purchased SCP-2243-C approximately one month later. SCP-2243- 
C is approximately 11.4 cm, comprised of rope, rubber, and plastic 


and appears as a common bird toy sold to the general public. MTFO 
brought SCP-2243 to the Foundation once the anomalous properties 
were detected. 


While active, any subject within a 4.02m radius of SCP-2243 will 
hear SCP-2243-A and SCP-2243-B speaking in the language that 
the subject is most fluent in, instead of the normal sounds produced 
by Lonchua striata domestica. The subject is able to converse with 
SCP-2243-A and SCP-2243-B with no observable long-term effects. 
Any persons outside of a 4.02m radius will perceive SCP-2243-A 
and SCP-2243-B as sounding like normal Lonchua striata 
domestica. Any persons outside of a 4.02m radius from SCP-2243 
will also perceive the subject as imitating "peeping" or "chirping" 
noises instead of normal human speech. 


While writing within the effect radius, subject will believe themselves 
to be writing normally; however, upon leaving the radius, the words 
appear as variations of "peep" and "chirp". This effect happens 
regardless if typed or written by hand. 


+ Researcher Text Message Exchange Clearance Check 
Researcher _ : Peep peep chirp 
Dr. OK. 
Researcher — : chirp chirp 
Dr. : | don't get the joke 


Researcher — : chirp peep chirp chirp chirp 
peep peep chirp 


Dr. : Just give me a call when you're done 
goofing around. 


<Dr. noted the following phone call was 
equally unproductive.> 


When viewed or listened to remotely, persons still perceive the 
subject, SCP-2243-A, and SCP-2243-B as emitting standard bird 
sounds. When viewed remotely, it can be seen that the subject does 


indeed write variations of "peep" or "chirp", the impression the 
subject has that he or she is writing normally is apparently only 
applicable to those within the effect radius. 


It seems the subject will perceive all speech made within the effect 
radius in his or her most fluent language, making SCP-2243 a useful 
translator for verbal communication if the participants are in the 
effect area together.

<Addendum:> All future observations and 
transcriptions are to be made remotely. This is 
completely unacceptable. -Dr. 


SCP-2243-A and SCP-2243-B seem to have the intelligence and 
understanding of a human toddler approximately 2-3 years of age. 
SCP-2243-A and SCP-2243-B acknowledge both are "different" than 
subjects, but possess no knowledge beyond what a normal Lonchua 
striata domestica raised for commercial purposes would be 
expected to know. The grammar and sentence structure reflects that 
understanding regardless of language the subject hears. 


SCP-2243 is explained as a type of parrot hybrid to anyone in the 
vicinity and is therefore not deemed a security threat.

SCP-2244: Partition E 


Item #: SCP-2244 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2244-1 and all instances 
of SCP-2244-2 are off-limits to all Foundation personnel unless 
explicitly authorized by Order-44-08A7, signed by at least three O5 
personnel and both Site-692 Administrators. Personnel who violate 
these conditions of interaction are subject to severe disciplinary 
action, up to and including termination of employment and 
administration of amnestics. 


Instances of SCP-2244-2 are not to be accosted, interfered with, or 
addressed by any personnel not authorized by Order-44-08A7. 
Personnel who do so are subject to disciplinary action, up to and 
including suspension without pay and administration of amnestics. 
All observations of SCP-2244-1 and/or SCP-2244-2 are to be logged 
with both Site Administrators. Should an instance of SCP-2244-2 
become aware of observation (designated a OOA1 Event), 
Foundation personnel are to abort their task and vacate the area if 
practicable. 


Note that personnel who cannot be accounted for following a 00A1 
Event cannot be guaranteed Foundation protection nor recovery 
efforts in the event they come into custody of an instance of 
SCP-2244-2. Personnel taken by SCP-2244-2 who are 
subsequently released are subject to interrogation by Site 
Administrators and potential re-assignment.
