must see. And maybe 
then we can be 
together. For our 
sake.

SCP-299: Infectious Tree 


Item #: SCP-299 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: A 200-metre-wide forest of 
SCP-299 is to be contained in an underground biodome (Area-299) 
in the [REDACTED] desert. All other specimens encountered are to 
be incinerated. No plant life is to come into contact with SCP-299 
outside of controlled testing. Areas infested by SCP-299 should be 
considered class-8 hazard zones, firebombed immediately, and 
monitored for four (4) weeks. Any further infestation is to be 
incinerated, as well as all wildlife present on the site. 


Description: SCP-299 is an arboriform organism characterised by 
black, sharp-pointed branches. Closer inspection reveals that each 
instance of SCP-299 is connected to neighbouring trees by its roots. 
Prolonged contact converts these neighboring trees into another 
instance of SCP-299; this is SCP-299's only known method of 
reproduction. 


Addendum 299-1: SCP-299 infection will result from prolonged 
contact with any material from SCP-299. 


Conversion time varies by the size of the infectee. Generally, after a 
few minutes of exposure, the infected plant begins to shed its 
leaves. Low branches shift downward to a height of 30 to 100 
centimetres and taper to a point. High branches retain leaves and 
shift toward the top of the tree, forming a dense canopy and making 
overhead identification impossible. 


Addendum 299-2: Microscopic analysis of low branches reveals 
that these points are composed of the same material as the rest of 
infected plant, and are remarkably sharp. Direct contact with the 
point of a branch from SCP-299 is unadvised, as even a sliver of 
SCP-299 material embedded in skin is known to produce disastrous 


SCP-2642: "Half of an Elephant's Face" 


Item #: SCP-2642 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2642 should follow all 
standard containment procedures for class-B infohazards, with the 
addition of biweekly visitation by a single Class-D personnel. Any 
noted breach of containment should result in the affected area being 
quarantined for a period of at least two weeks. 


Description: SCP-2642 is an item which may only be described as 
“half of an elephant's face", regardless of whether it retains that form 
or not. Any attempt by a subject to discern the bisecting line of the 
anomaly results in the profound feeling that they are wrong. The 
subject then derides itself for its incorrect answer. Insults tend to 
grow in vehemency and creativity as the subject continues to get the 
answer wrong. In 98 percent of cases, the subject will return to the 
object and attempt to guess correctly, with the "incorrect" result 
appearing to cause significant frustration and disappointment; levels 
of both appear to increase at a baseline, non-anomalous rate 
parallel to existing situations in which a subject is emotionally 
invested in the outcome. Exceptions to this occur when the item is 
not viewed or attempted within five days or less; this situation results 
in telepathic shouting of obscenities within an undetermined radius. 


Addendum: SCP-2642 was discovered on / /04 after a suspicious 
increase in searches by search engine Google was recordedin__, 
Washington, all pertaining to "solving half an elephant's face”. After 
a routine examination by bots for potential anomalous activity, the 
Foundation was alerted and captured the object. Notably, alongside 
the object was a folded, sealed letter with no return address or 
identifying information. Inside the envelope was a piece of pink 
stationery, covered in red heart symbols. Both envelope and 
stationery were covered in scribbled drawings and obscenities. 
Broken pencil graphite was found inside the envelope. 


The contents of the message read as follows: 
FUCK YOU!!! NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.

SCP-2643: A Remembered Pet 


Item #: SCP-2643 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-2643 is 
currently purely informational in nature. Mobile Task Force Nu-9 
("Curiosity") is monitoring its area of activity, tracking yearly 
movements and maintaining disinformation campaigns to limit public 
awareness of the anomaly. Due to the range of SCP-2643's effects, 
amnestic treatments are generally ineffective. In case of an affected 
individual posing a severe containment risk, amnestic treatments up 
to and including Omega-class can be approved, but only after 
approval by two Level 3 personnel, at least one of which must be an 
Ethics Committee liaison. No direct action is to be taken against low- 
risk subjects. 


The Foundation has commissioned a children's book and cartoon 
featuring a cat similar to SCP-2643 in name and appearance, as 
well as a plot which mirrors the narrative SCP-2643 typically follows, 
in order to create a plausible non-anomalous source of memories 
associated with SCP-2643. These have been given a falsified 
publication history to cover the full time of SCP-2643's activity. 


Description: SCP-2643 is a phenomenon that affects the memories 
of certain humans. Affected individuals are convinced that they 
cared for and extensively interacted with a stray cat for a period of 
their childhood. All affected individuals describe the cat ina 
consistent manner, and report naming it Ubaste!. The name 
remains consistent even among individuals who have no knowledge 
of Egyptian mythology, and most subjects cannot explain why they 
chose the name, usually claiming "it felt right". 


Despite clear memories (see details below), among __ interviewed 
subjects, none have been able to provide any veterinary bills, 
photos, or any other proof of the pet's existence. Likewise, no 


friends and family members have been able to corroborate the 
testimony of an affected individual. 


Subjects first manifest symptoms between the ages of 17 and 25, 
and invariably report the implanted memories to refer to a period 
exactly ten years before they were first affected. These persons are 
generally from low-income households, and mostly self-describe as 
having had low social status and few friends during childhood. 


Affected memories generally following the same basic narrative2: 


* Dec. 24-27: SCP-2643 first appears around Christmas, 
comforting the individual after some kind of conflict, generally 
familial in nature. 

* Dec. 28 - Jan. 31: SCP-2643 will only appear in memories 
regarding conflict, pain, or disappointment, consistently 
appearing to comfort subject in times of distress. 

¢ Feb. 01 - May 30: SCP-26483 will appear more often, generally 
waiting for subject when they come home from school, or 
sitting outside their window in the evening. Most subjects will 
report spending large amounts of time speaking to SCP-2643 
during this period. 

¢ Jun. 01 - Jul. 31: SCP-2643 activity increases. Affected 
individuals report sneaking out of their homes to play with 
SCP-2643, often spending hours exploring surrounding 
areas.3 

* Aug. 01 - Dec. 19: SCP-2643 follows affected individuals 
everywhere, staying close but hidden from other humans at all 
times. 

¢ Dec. 20-23: SCP-2643 leaves, a year after its first 
appearance. 


Interviews with families of affected persons reveal that most subjects 
have a marked difference in personality after SCP-2643 allegedly 
enters into their memories. Families report subjects as more 
confident and less prone to depression and anxiety. 


SCP-2643 seems to be limited in effect to a number of small towns 
in the southwest USA, so far affecting a single town each year, with 
the effect manifesting in a new nearby location at Christmastime 
each year. Research indicates that SCP-2643 specifically targets 


individuals who lived in its area of effect in the time of affected 
memories, regardless of whether they are currently living in the area 
or not.4 


Discovery: SCP-2643 was discovered after a security exploit within 
the College's database access systems, resulting in a public 
dumping of authorization questions for the recovery of lost accounts. 
After user data was publicly posted, Amy __, a journalist at the 
school paper, was reading through students’ personal security 
questions when she realized that nearly 5% of users had answered 
the question "What was the name of your first pet?" with the word 
"Ubaste". Ms. decided to write an article about the "oddly named 
pets", and interviewed several students, discovering that their 
stories of their childhood cats were nearly identical. The anomaly 
was brought to the Foundation's attention after Ms. | madeapost 
on social media asking if the student body was playing a prank on 
her. A Foundation agent embedded in local law enforcement was 
notified and decided to investigate. The leaked forum data and Ms. 

‘social media were removed, Ms. and others who were aware 
of the anomaly were treated with amnestics, and current 
informational containment was implemented. 


Addendum: Excerpt from interview 


Interviewed: Vincent Marx (affected by SCP-2643 since 
12/24/20 ). 


Interviewer: Dr. 


Foreword: Mr. Marx was informed that the Foundation 
was interested in SCP-2643 because of its non-typical 
behavior. He was allowed to remain in the belief that his 
experiences with SCP-2643 were genuine. 


80% of interview deemed irrelevant, only closing 
statements included. Full log is filed in central archive 
and available upon request. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. _: So, you feel that Ubaste had a positive influence 


on your life? 


Marx: Oh, definitely. | am a much stronger person 
thanks to her. 


Dr. _: lt seems this personal strength did not show 
much until this last year, though? 


Marx: Yeah, seems so. (Marx chuckles) | guess | just 
couldn't figure out how to apply it. It doesn't really matter 
how much you know you can do if the world won't let you 
do it. This last Christmas though, | remembered how | 
felt when she first showed up, and | decided to stop 
wasting what she gave me. Turned my life around. For 
the second time, | guess. 


Dr. _: You are saying that it was hard to feel connected 
to what Ubaste had done for you when it was no longer 
there? 


Marx: Yeah, | guess. 
Dr. —_: And how did her departure make you feel? 


Marx: Oh, | was sad of course. But overall it felt okay. As 
she was leaving she stopped, just for a moment, and 
looked back over her shoulder, and | knew | would be all 
right. 


Dr. __: Very well, | only have one more question for you. 
Why do you think Ubaste left you? 


Marx: (There is a pause) | think she had done what she 
could for me. And | think she felt | was ready to let her 
go. And I'm sure that after she left me, she went right up 
to some other kid and changed his life, too. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Mr. Marx was deemed not to be a 
security risk, and was released after receiving amnestics 
to remove all recollection of interaction with the 


Foundation. 


Footnotes 

1. A variant name of the Egyptian cat goddess Bastet. 

2. Dates and time periods listed are approximate and apply only in 
memories. Subjects receive all memories of SCP-2643 
simultaneously. 

3. This remains consistent even in individuals for whom such actions 
would normally not be feasible. Such individuals generally develop 
additional memories to cover the discrepancy. One subject 
described memories of sneaking through contested gangland 
territory with SCP-2643 while carefully avoiding detection by gang 
members. 

4. Some researchers have theorized that this indicates that 
SCP-2643 is an actual entity with an antimemetic effect which 
dissipates after ten years for unknown reasons. Research proposals 
to explore this possibility are currently under review.

SCP-2644: LostPerson 


Item #: SCP-2644 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Persons in contact with any 
host of SCP-2644, with the exception of Foundation personnel, are 
to be given class B amnestics as soon as SCP-2644 has switched to 
a new host. 


Any personnel tasked with containment must be given access to the 
secured email account designated for communications with 
SCP-2644, and must check this email at least once an hour during 
shifts. Any IP used by SCP-2644 must be tracked to identify its 
current host. 


As containment of SCP-2644 requires its cooperation, all personnel 
must assure SCP-2644 that the Foundation’ is working to "cure" it of 
its anomalous properties. 


Description: SCP-2644 is an incorporeal consciousness. Each day, 
SCP-2644 will replace the consciousness of a human between 15 
and 55 years of age at random. This transfer occurs during 
unconsciousness between the current and target host.? This transfer 
will also occur if SCP-2644's current host is killed. If SCP-2644 
avoids sleep, it can stay within a single host for several days before 
succumbing to sleep deprivation and fatigue. Previous hosts of 
SCP-2644 have no recollection of the experience, and do not 
display any anomalous properties. Only observers of SCP-2644 and 
SCP-2644 itself appear aware of the anomaly. 


Excerpt from the LostPerson Forum Thread: 


The following transcript contains a section of the online thread that 
helped lead to the discovery of SCP-2644:

Thread: / Keep Waking up as Different People 
Started By: LostPerson 


| don't know how to explain what's been happening to 
me. | know I'm different, but | haven't ever experienced 
what is normal, | guess? 

Everytime | wake up, I'm someone else. | don't 
remember ever being just one person for an extended 
period of time. It's like my life is just little pieces from 
everyone else's life. Every day, | have to ask strangers 
who | am, and they never understand that |am a 
stranger in the skin of someone close to them. Everyone 
| see is always scared or confused. I'm always scared 
and confused. | want to just be one person, and just stay 
as that person. | want to be able to die. But | continue 
swapping lives even if | make myself die. | don't know if 
it's suicide or homicide, but | can't die and I've tried. 

| want to be normal. Can someone here help me be 
normal? 


Comments 


Pyrixia: Unfortunately, | can't say | have much 
experience with this sort of thing. If it is schizophrenia or 
some other sort of mental disorder, it's too hard to say 
what might be happening with your mind to give you a 
suggestion on how to solve this. If you can't remember 
who you are, maybe figure out what makes you switch 
lives, | suppose? You said every time you wake up? 
Could it be some sort of lucid dreaming or sleep 
paralysis? 


DoodleBird193: You switch bodys? [sic] Maybe like you 
and your body got seprated and so you'r mind like floats 
around and goes into other people's bodys? 


MiffKay: If you don't switch bodies when you're awake, 
maybe it has something to do with unconsciousness? | 
can't tell if this is actually ahppening [sic] to you or if it's 
some intense hallucination, but if it is happening, maybe 


try to stay awake as long as you can and see what 
happens? Let me know.
