SCP-2346 will strongly disrupt an individual's ability to focus and 
communicate, if the subject stays within visual range from 
SCP-2346 for a prolonged period of time. 


* Subject will lose track of its initial tasks. 

* Subject's environmental awareness will degrade, eventually 

leading to a gross disregard of safety concerns. 

Subject will cease their communications or become 

increasingly irrational and erratic. 

¢ Over prolonged exposure to SCP-2346, subject will often try 
to operate or maintain various equipment aboard. 


Any personnel exposed to SCP-2346 for more than 8 minutes must 
be removed from SCP-2346's vicinity and undergo medical 
examination. Recovering individuals will retain a high level of 
confusion and regularly express concerns about various tasks to be 
performed aboard SCP-2346. Over time, subjects will gradually lose 
their memory of SCP-2346 and will return to normal behaviour. 


Though 2346.EDR-01 and 02 led to a few theories linking 
SCP-2346's mobility to its supposed ability to retain individuals 
aboard, those were never confirmed by conclusive evidences.

After Action Report : 

OIC: OF-5 A. Morie 

Ship: HMS Hurworth 
Assignment: Search and Rescue 
27.11.1991// 


At 1007, HMS Hurworth received a distress 
signal originating from cabin cruiser 
Portmagee Pride (IMO 1585234 - MMSI 
250102800). HMS Hurworth immediately set 
course toward coordinates 51. -10. and 
initiated radio contact with Portmagee Pride to 
assess their situation. Portmagee Pride 
declared 4 men lost at sea. The missing 
personnel were identified to the HMS Hurworth 
as trained divers trying to locate the remnants 
of the SS Latymer. 


HMS Hurworth came alongside Portmagee 
Pride at 1237. HMS Hurworth began to 
perform sonar screenings then sent OF-2 
Mason (1IC) and OF-2 Howley at sea with a 
search and rescue perimeter restricted to 300 
meters. Local elevation profile was suited for 
minimal decompression stops between dives, 
allowing Mason's team to perform multiple 
localization attempts. On the 3rd dive Mason 
managed to locate a shipwreck he first 
identified as the SS Latymer. His following 
report must be approached with extreme 
scrutiny. 


Mason affirms that the shipwreck was in 
motion along the seabed, displacing a large 
amount of sediments. He claims that he and B. 
Howley were able to move aboard despite the 
ship's instability and low visibility. Mason 
declares having found 3 bodies in the 
accessible parts of the wreck. One was 
located inside a shower cabin, without 


respiratory equipment and clothing. The two 
other bodies were located in the engine room. 
According to him, the bodies were holding 
tools, and one was still gripping on a crew 
intercom. Mason then panicked and fled to the 
surface, ignoring DCS procedure and leaving 
OF-2 Howley aboard the shipwreck. 


OF-2 Mason is now under sustained medical 
care. When challenged about his testimony, 
Mason refused to answer questions and only 
stated repeatedly that "all the fishes were 
dead". OF-2 Andrea Howley was declared MIA 
as no crew members were qualified to perform 
another dive. 


HMS Hurworth reported all of the 
aforementioned information to fleet HQ and 
was subsequently ordered to cease all 
communications, until the arrival of an expert 
team.

Item Description: Seventeen empty jars, each with an approximate 
capacity of 115 grams worth of liquid. All jars lacked a lid, and had 
identical cracks. All cracks start at the lip of jar, and go down ina 
jagged line at about 30° in angle. Rough length of 4.75 centimeters 
for all jars, -/+ 0.33 centimeters. 


Money Entered: 500 yen, along with a note describing the previous 
items vended. 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item Description: The machine rattled, then dispensed the 500 yen 
in the coin slot, along with a note. Note read "SERVICE NEEDED." 
Note was primarily in Japanese, with English sub-text written below 
in smaller font. Font was Bolded Times New Roman. The team was 
about to leave when the machine produced seventeen (17) jar lids 
over the course of four (4) seconds. This was followed by a yellow 
liquid that slowly oozed out of the machine's item slot. Analysis 
found the lids indeed belonged to the jars, and that the liquid in 
question was honey. Testing concluded for the day. 

Note: When a small team of scientists opened up SCP-261, they 
found the entire machine's main frame filled with honey. No circuitry 
or electrical parts had been damaged, but it still took three days to 
remove all the honey. Machine returned to "normal" operation after it 
was completely cleaned out. 

Note: "Well...that's a first." - Dr. Anonymuess 


Money Entered: 200 Yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item Description: A small tub lacking any labels. Contained 
strawberry yogurt. Yogurt reported as "delicious". 

Note: This test was done shortly after SCP-261 had been finished 
cleaning, and was done to ensure the machine was still working. 
Testing concluded for the day to allow the machine "a break".

cloud of mush when | opened the door. 


07:14 - EDT: The water is warm inside. It feels 
thick too. Almost viscous. 


07:14 - SC: Ok. Well, don't go in. You are 
probably swimming into the remnants of the

can barely see. Her face feels bloated. I'll try to 
take a pic. 


07:16 - EDT: Think she is from the search 
party? 


07:16 - SC: Possibly. Any navy insignia? 


07:16 - EDT: No. Doc, | salvaged a lot of 
bodies, but no warm ones. Feels wrong. 


07:16 - EDT: | think | picked up a dog tag, I'm

Dr. 's personnal log (Entry 16/12/91) 


Rescue Team was tasked to retrieve EDT at 
07:22, and achieved partial success. EDT-1 
was found in the lower deck, apparently 
attempting to access the "cold storage" 
compartment. He was successfuly extracted, 
but suffered mild hypoxia as his mix tank was 
depleted. EDT-2's body was inside the 
compartment. His regulator and air mix 
canister were found in his arms, as if he 
purposedly removed them. RT confirmed the 
observation made by EDT and reports that "it 
felt like the ship was accelerating". 


+ 2346.EDR-02 
Dr. 's report (Entry 08/01/92) 


Our newly arrived EDT performed a successful 
dive. We specifically briefed them not to stay 
more than five minutes inside. They took a 
long time to find the spot. It moved 320 meters 
from the last coordinates. EDT reports it was 
staying still, though. 


| instructed EDT to open the "cold storage" 
room again. The visibility was much clearer 
this time. The pictures they brought show a 
large refrigerated room, of which every surface 
is coated with a yellowish viscous substance. 
Human bones and diving gear can be 
observed on the floor, also coated in said 
substance. EDT was able to take a sample of 
it. 


EDT did not notice anything else during the 
time window we gave them. Their behavior did 
not appear to degrade. 


Analysis of the sample was quick and 
conclusive. It is composed of decaying organic 
tissues, hydrochloric acid, and pepsin. DNA 


structure suggests that the organic part is 
mostly originating from various fish species 
(mainly Conger oceanicus and Gradiformes). 
Identification is pending on isolated human 
DNA patterns that were also detected in the 
compound.

SCP-2347: Maxwell's Phoenix 


Item #: SCP-2347 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2347 is kept in a Standard 
Humanoid Containment Cell, which is to be kept at 50-55 °C at all 
times. All interactions with SCP-2347 are to be performed by 
telepresence robots and there is a 10 meter buffer zone surrounding 
the containment cell, which must be kept free of any warm-blooded 
animal life outside of testing procedures. SCP-2347 is not allowed 
any food, drink, or hygiene substances less than 45 °C in 
temperature. 


In the event of a containment breach, SCP-2347 may be subdued 
with standard non-lethal human threat neutralization protocols. If 
standard protocols are not feasible or otherwise ineffective, 
personnel are instructed to rapidly decrease the temperature of the 
environment surrounding SCP-2347, preferably to a minimum of 15 
°C, until Phase 2 has completed. This method is not recommended 
as primary procedures due to the high risk of collateral damage and, 
if enacted, all personnel should maintain a minimum distance of 10 
meters until Phase 2 has completed. 


Description: SCP-2347 is a genetically-human male capable of 
involuntary heat transmission and exothermic self-resurrection. 
Aside from its involuntary properties, SCP-2347 is physically and 
functionally identical to a baseline non-anomalous human and 
requires standard feeding and medical care. 


SCP-2347's properties can be divided into 2 phases. The length of 
Phase 1 is dependent upon environmental factors, and has been 
observed to last from as little as 17 minutes up to 37 days. During 
this phase, the thermal equilibrium process of the environment 
immediately surrounding SCP-2347 is reversed such that SCP-2347 
experiences a net gain in heat while the environs experience a net 


loss of heat if SCP-2347 is warmer than the environs, and the 
reverse occurs if SCP-2347's body temperature is colder than the 
environs. The rate of transfer is proportional to the ambient 
temperature, and is at its minimum at 53-54 °C. SCP-2347 has been 
observed to experience hypothermia symptoms when the ambient 
temperature is greater than 65 °C. 


Once SCP-2347 has transferred a sufficient amount of heat (enough 
to increase its body temperature to approximately 40-43°C), it will 
spontaneously combust. All soft tissues will increase in temperature 
to a minimum of 150°C in less than 1 seconds and will maintain this 
temperature until all soft tissues have been converted to ash. Fire 
control measures are able to minimize damage to the surrounding 
environment, but are unable to prevent the consumption of 
SCP-2347. 


Once SCP-2347 has completed the combustion event, it will enter 
Phase 2. All bony structures remaining will maintain a maximum 
distance of 0.8 meters from each other and will slowly move in order 
to reconstruct a normal human skeletal configuration over the 
course of 24 hours.! Once the reconstruction is complete, the 
skeletal remains will experience a brief period of extreme heat 
transfer, reducing the temperature of the surrounding environs by as 
much as 25 °C in less than 3 seconds. This results in the 
reappearance of SCP-2347, naked and unharmed. 


SCP-2347 has no unusual physical resilience to thermal extremes or 
unusual pain capacity. Based on observations and self-reports, 
SCP-2347 fully experiences its immolation events as a non- 
anomalous human would. It is intensely averse to experiencing 
these events and is fully cooperative with Foundation efforts to 
minimize their frequency. 


Footnotes 

1. It is currently not known whether SCP-2347 would regenerate in 
this manner following immolation from other fire based anomalies, 
such asSCP-11790rSCP-1641.

SCP-2348 in containment on Site-42. Still from recording made on // . 


Item #: SCP-2348 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2348 is currently housed 
at Site-42, in Storage House 37. Any unusual behaviour relating to 
SCP-2348 must be recorded and reported to the Project Manager as 
soon as possible. Due to high quantities of lethal radiation being 
present in SCP-2348's containment cell, any personnel entering the 
enclosure are authorised to wear protective hazmat clothing. As of 
Experiment 2348-15, any and all experimentation involving 
SCP-2348 is postponed until further notice. SCP-2348 must be 
restrained at all times. 


Personnel are not advised to interrupt SCP-2348 when it is 
performing Pro-1 activities as this may trigger Pro-2 activities. 
Unless permission is granted by the Site Director, SCP-2348 must 
not be activated.
