SCP-2558: Horseshoe Beach First Baptist Church 
(Relocated) 


Item #: SCP-2558 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Local Mobile Task Force 352- 
Dalet (“Dixieland Nightmare Magic”) will monitor the movement of 
SCP-2558 annually with an unmanned surveillance submersible to 
ensure it is still traveling along Course Panacea. 


If travel along Course Panacea proceeds as expected, no further 
action will be required until the year 2041, approximately five years 
before projected landfall, at which point revised containment 
procedures (detailed in File 2558-F) will be implemented. If 
SCP-2558 is found to have diverged from Course Panacea, 
Regional Headquarters staff will be responsible for implementing 
new containment procedures with all deliberate speed. 


Description: SCP-2558 is the remains of the Horseshoe Beach 
First Baptist Church, last observed on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico 
approximately 69.2 km west-northwest of Horseshoe Beach, Dixie 
County, Florida. SCP-2558 moves west-northwest along the ocean 
floor at approximately 435 cm per day. At its current rate and 
direction (known as Course Panacea), SCP-2558 will make landfall 
near Panacea, Wakulla County, Florida on October 31, 2046. 


All objects that were within SCP-2558 on January 3rd, 1971 at 14:11 
UTC (10:11 AM local time), including the 37 church attendees and 
their personal belongings, appear within SCP-2558 in identical 
positions every Sunday at 14:11 UTC (hereafter referred to as the 
"Weekly Recurrence Event"). No attempt to permanently remove 
objects from SCP-2558 has succeeded thus far, although objects 
and people may be freely removed from the church, destroyed or 
modified prior to the Weekly Recurrence Event. 


The church and its contents assume their exact conditions as of 
January 3rd, 1971 with every Weekly Recurrence Event. All humans 
within SCP-2558 return to life! and retain memories of the 
recurrences, and have not been noted to age as of last 
observation.@ 


While containment procedures originally included a weekly rescue 
operation for the submerged attendees, Regional Headquarters 
suspended these operations in _,3 citing high cost and rising 
operational fatality rate as SCP-2558 entered deeper waters. As no 
human within SCP-2558 has as of yet remained conscious after 
about three minutes or survived after approximately eight minutes 
underwater, there is limited to no risk of containment breach by 
SCP-2558 inhabitants in its current location. Weekly containment 
and rescue of humans within SCP-2558 will continue in the year 
2043 with the adoption of revised containment procedures detailed 
in File 2558-F. 


Addendum 2558-Aleph: 

On January 3rd, 1971 (one day before SCP-2558 began its 
anomalous movement), an afternoon broadcast of the National 
Weather Service contained an unplanned edit to the forecast. A 
recording is attached:

Though interviews with NWS staff at the time resulted in no 
discovery of the source of this broadcast, subsequent anomalous 
radio activity in the region+ suggests involvement of the Cross City- 
based Hyacinth Order in the creation of SCP-2558, as part of a 
pattern of anti-Protestant extranormal action beginning in the 1970s 
and continuing to the present day.

SCP-2559: "I've Heard There's Something Going 
Around" 


Item #: SCP-2559 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Access to any documentation 
or knowledge about SCP-2559 is to be provided only with the 
express permission of Biological Research Area 91's Site Director or 
two members of the O5 Council. Individuals accessing this 
document must consent to any containment procedures deemed 
necessary by the Site Director, including (but not limited to) 
internment for a minimum of 9 days and testing of blood and 
cerebrospinal fluid at any time after first reading. 


Instances of SCP-2559-1 are to be contained at Biological Research 
Area 91 in standard humanoid containment cells. Instances are to 
be kept alive by any means, following Procedure 555-Vineyard. On- 
site staff are required to report any unusually coloured patches of 
skin, rashes or joint pain. Staff are also required to submit regular 
blood samples to pathology, with no more than five days between 
each sample. Failure to meet this deadline, or attempting to cheat 
any medical test, is grounds for immediate demotion and cautionary 
internment in accordance with site quarantine procedures. 


A containment team, MTF-Upsilon-4 ("Sugar Pill") is to be 
maintained and dispatched immediately to any suspected breakouts 
of SCP-2559. u-4 is to be trained in relevant antimemetic and 
biohazard containment procedures and the current Commander 
briefed on the nature of SCP-2559 before dispatch. Following 
containment, all surviving members of u-4 are to be treated with 
amnestics and tests on cerebrospinal fluid performed after a four- 
day containment period. Members of u-4 are not under any 
circumstances to retain memories of the nature of SCP-2559, past 
missions or inactive teammates. Any deemed infected are to be

+ Incident Report |-286-5 


reclassed as an instance of SCP-2559-1 and brought to Biological 
Research Area 91 for containment (- Those infected in the line of 
duty are to be terminated unless the number of infected in Biological 
Research Area 91 has dropped below critical levels - Ethics 
Committee). 


Description: SCP-2559 is a fatal viral infection and cognitohazard: 
Individuals believing themselves to have been infected by SCP-2559 
will in all cases actually become infected. These individuals are 
reclassified SCP-2559-1. No non-anomalous transmission method 
of SCP-2559 is known. 


SCP-2559 virions can be found in the blood within the first two days 
of infection, and in the cerebrospinal fluid within the first five hours 
hours of infection. Autopsy of the recently deceased indicates that 
the virions are produced along with new cerebrospinal fluid in the 
choroid plexuses. 


Common symptoms resembling a non-anomalous infection include: 


¢ Increased intracranial pressure (hydrocephaly) leading to 

tunnel vision and convulsive episodes. In extreme cases, can 

cause mental disability, stroke and death. 

Restriction of blood supply to various organs/tissues 

(ischemia) leading to tissue necrosis and gangrene. Extreme 

cases can cause strokes. 

¢ Extreme negative reactions to various substances: water, 
food, sun, heat, cold, various medications and anaesthetics. 

« Anumber of pigmentation disorders, most commonly 

segmental vitiligo. 

Vitiligo will often present as common segmental vitiligo, but 

may present instead in notable patterns (See Interview Log 

2559-13) 


None of these symptoms have appeared in all subjects, nor is this a 
full list of symptoms presented. 


Infection has thus far shown a 100% mortality rate, with continuous 
medical treatment (following Procedure 555-Vineyard) serving to 
extend life expectancy from 3-4 months up to five years in ideal 
patients. Prior to 1995, SCP-2559 followed a predictable infection 


cycle, with outbreaks every 3-4 years. It has not yet been 
determined how or where these outbreaks begin, or if there is any 
pattern to the locations affected. 


The first confirmed outbreak of SCP-2559 occurred in the town of 
Dingle, Ireland in 1928. Despite the death of 48 civilians in this 
instance, the outbreak was deemed non-anomalous by investigating 
agents until linked to a similar breakout in Siglufj6rdur, Iceland in 
1933, where agents discovered the virus' memetic properties (See 
Incident Report 2559-1). Due to a number of similar traits, it is 
believed that a case of mass hysteria in Wellstead, Australia (now 
Bremer Bay) in July 1889 may be the first recorded breakout of 
SCP-2559. 


Relevant Incidents: 
Incident Report 2559-1: 


On 01/12/1933, during initial containment in Siglufjéréur, Iceland, 
three Junior Researchers were found to have been infected and 
redesignated SCP-2559-1. Instances placed in humanoid 
containment along with standard quarantine procedures. Following 
the return to Site-91, 12 further researchers were found to have 
become infected. The spread of rumours within the facility lead to 
rapid spread of infection among site staff. On 05/12/1933, site was 
placed under quarantine after testing showed more than 20% of the 
staff had been infected. 


+ Access Security Report SR-19-1055 


At 0533, 09/12/1933, Site-19's radio control room began 
to broadcast the following unauthorized message to 
Site-91: 


SCP2559 IS A MEMETAC BAZARD - 
REPEAT PHRAIE 'MENDACIUM NON 
VERUM' TO ACTI<AA>ATE RECWRSIVE 
MEMETIC INOCULATION. REPEAT TO ARL

EFFEGTIVENEIS. TELL THEM 05 COUNCIL 


SENDS THIS. MAKE SURE ALL KNKW TIEY 
ARE PROTECTED NOW<CT> THEY ARE 
SWFE. IT IR SAFE. A<AA>L IS SA 


At 0535, Site-19 security apprehended Senior 
Researcher Owen O'Dwyer (3-19-1025) in the radio 
control room and prevented him from finishing his 
message. Two weeks prior, Dr. O'Dwyer had gained 
unauthorised access to Document 2559-I-2 (Research 
Log, Anomaly 4475 under Investigation, November 6th 
1933, Huever et al) and identified the infection's spread 
pattern as matching Memetic Spread Model M-13-55, to 
a four-sigma accuracy. O'Dwyer believed he could save 
the lives of uninfected personnel within the Site 19 
quarantine by convincing them they were memetically 
inoculated. O'Dwyer has been put on indefinite 
suspension pending review by the Site-19 board. 


Addendum 1: The phrase "WENDACIUM NON VERUM' 
has not been found in any databases to act as a 
memetic trigger and O'Dwyer admits to its use as a 
placebo. In light of this, O'Dwyer's reprimand has been 
reduced to a three-month suspension. Dr. Sigridur 
Levisdottir (3-19-995), who provided O'Dwyer with a 
number of unauthorised documents, has had her 
employment terminated effective immediately.
