Researchers interpreting data from the Foundation lunar radio 
observatory are to notify O5 command of any changes in the 
trajectory of SCP-2362-1 immediately. 


Description: SCP-2362 is the designation of Pluto, an interior 
Kuiper Belt object, following the discovery of its organic composition 
by Foundation researchers in 1983. SCP-2362 is currently a trans- 
Neptunian debris field orbiting the Sun with an aphelion! of 48.9 AU, 
a perihelion? of 29.7 AU, a mean eccentricity? of 0.248, and an 
orbital period4 of 248 years. SCP-2362 was reduced to this state 
during the emergence of SCP-2362-1 from its southern pole (see 
event log 2362-A). 


SCP-2362-1 is an object approximately 900 km in length, consisting 
of a bell-shaped mass with thirteen trailing appendages and 
generally resembling a jellyfish of the genus Pelagia. |t radiates blue 
light and has no discernible surface features. SCP-2362-1 is able to 
propel itself by expanding and contracting its appendages. The 
mechanism of this propulsion is poorly understood, but may have 
some similarity to conventional ion propulsion given the stream of 
charged particles detected in the object's wake. Upon its 
emergence, the natural satellites of SCP-2362 were torn apart by 
tidal forces and now form part of the debris field. SCP-2362-1 is 
currently following an escape trajectory as it heads towards the 
vicinity of Barnard’s Star at a speed exceeding 30,000 m/s. As it is 
estimated to leave the solar system at some point within the year 

20 , the object is not considered a threat to life on Earth at this point 
in time. 


While SCP-2362 is visible from Earth through high power 
telescopes, the debris field is dense enough that a difference from 
its appearance previous to event 2362-A is only perceptible with the 
telescopes of some observatories and artificial satellites. MTF 
Omicron-12 has infiltrated said observatories and satellites, 
preventing them from obtaining new images of SCP-2362 (including 
images of SCP-2362 fragments that have left the vicinity of the 
debris field) or any images of SCP-2362-1. 


Foundation probe 76EU ("Eurydice") is currently en route to 


SCP-2362-1. 
Event Log 2362-A: 


05/05/2006: Radar data from Foundation probe 45OR 
(“Orpheus”), currently in orbit of SCP-2362, indicates that 
the central mass of the object is rapidly shifting towards 
its southern pole. While SCP-2362 is already suspected 
to be of biological origin given its exclusively organic 
composition, a hypothesis that SCP-2362 is a living 
organism is put forward by the Orpheus research team 
stationed at Site- . 


05/21/2006: Orpheus data indicates that the surface of 
SCP-2362 is beginning to disintegrate. Large fissures 
open across the object as material begins to slough off 
and form a cloud around it. 


06/10/2006: A gigantic fissure begins to open across the 
object’s southern pole. Fissure measures approximately 
50 km in length and 10 km in width. 


06/11/2006: Fissure measures approximately 230 km in 
length and 50 km in width. 


06/12/2006: Fissure measures approximately 950 km in 
length and 370 km in width. Orbits of satellites are 
noticeably deteriorating. 


06/23/2006: Thirteen masses begin to protrude from 
southern fissure, each 50 km across. Seven of the 
masses appear to be pushing against one side of the 
fissure with six pushing against the other side. 


06/27/2006: Fissure widens to fully encompass 
SCP-2362 as the thirteen masses further protrude from 
it. The object splits into two halves, revealing that 
SCP-2362 is a hollow shell around its central mass. 
Central mass is designated as SCP-2362-1. 


07/04/2006: SCP-2362-1 departs from vicinity of 


SCP-2362. As SCP-2362-1 contracts and expands its 
appendages, the object somehow achieves a constant 
acceleration of approximately 10 m/s2. As SCP-2362-1 
leaves SCP-2362 behind, its tidal forces tear it and its 
satellites apart, forming a large debris field. SCP-2362-1 
ceases acceleration after approximately 50 minutes, 
bringing its speed to over 30,000 m/s. 


Addendum 1: Following infiltration by MTF Omicron-12, the 
International Astronomical Union revoked the status of “Pluto” as a 
planet on 08/24/2006 . While creating controversy and greatly 
increasing the exposure of SCP-2362 in the short term, it is deemed 
necessary for discouraging public interest in it in the long term. 


SCP-2362 will remain known to scientists and astronomy 
enthusiasts, but common knowledge of SCP-2362 will likely subside 
within one to two generations as it is no longer included in textbook 
lists of planets and receives less attention from educational 
programming. 


Addendum 2: While the NASA probe “New Horizons’ is intended to 
provide the public with the first detailed images of SCP-2362, MTF 
Omicron-12 has successfully intercepted the mission and is 
releasing false data accordingly. Fortunately as with most NASA 
missions, public interest is sufficiently low, so it is considered to be 
of little risk. 


Addendum 3: Recently gathered spectrographic data suggests that 
trans-Neptunian objects Haumea, Eris, and Makemake are of similar 
organic composition to SCP-2362. Foundation probes 87KA 
("Kaulu"), 88AL ("Algos"), and 89TA ("Tangata") are currently en 
route to these objects respectively. Foundation astronomers are now 
conducting mass spectral analysis of Kuiper Belt and Scattered Disk 
objects.

Item Description: "MAGIC POTION" A drink in soda packaging with 
a mascot that consists of a elephant with stereotypic wizard clothing. 
When poured into a cup, liquid consisted of "blackness with white 
and blue dots in it." When consumed subject reported he started to 
feel "different" and started convulsing. Subject fainted, then 2 
minutes later woke up. Subject acted much like different animals 
every 20 minutes. After 4 hours, subject fainted and woke up again 
after 2 minutes. Subject was asked about his experience but all the 
subject would talk about was how "he didn't like animals much 
anymore" Subject now has claimed a strange fear of animals.

Item Description: A fluorescent green soft-plastic squeeze bottle 
labeled "CONSUME" longitudinally in fluorescent purple English 
block type. A thumbs up icon was present along with the word 
"YUM!" printed near the base, perpendicular to the primary labeling. 
A hexagonal code pattern was printed opposite the main label but 
does not correspond to any known product identification. The tube 
contained 100 grams of white paste, which under analysis was 
determined to be a complete meal replacement containing 2.5 MJ of 
food energy and 1/3 of all major human nutritional requirements as 
well as 0.5 mg of alprazolam and 25 mg of erythromycin. Subject 
reported it tasted mildly of vanilla.

SCP-2363: The Womb Farm 


Item #: SCP-2363 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Area-63 has been established 
to contain SCP-2363, and is surrounded by a 4 meter tall barbed 
wire fence. The perimeter is to be patrolled and monitored by onsite 
armed personnel. Any damage to the fence is to be reported 
immediately. 


SCP-2363-A is not to be allowed within 5 meters of the perimeter 
fence; deadly force may be used to maintain this distance. 
SCP-2363-A should be treated as hostile. 


If any instances of SCP-2363-B are observed within the perimeter of 
SCP-2363, they are to be removed immediately. 


Any civilian personnel found attempting to breach the perimeter 
fence are to be detained for questioning. No female personnel are to 
be assigned to Area-63. 


Description: SCP-2363 refers to an area of roughly one square 
kilometer in south-central Wyoming. A small, dilapidated farmhouse 
stands at the approximate center of SCP-2363. Personnel who have 
spent extended periods of time’ within SCP-2363 report extreme 
fatigue. 


SCP-2363-A is a humanoid entity that lives in the farmhouse and 
claims to be the owner of SCP-2363. SCP-2363-A is anatomically 
an elderly human male, with an apparent growth defect resulting in 
the absence of lips, leaving its teeth and gums exposed. SCP-2363- 
A’s eyes are severely cataracted, rendering it blind, although this 
appears to have a negligible effect on SCP-2363’s ability to perceive 
its environment. If SCP-2363-A is removed from SCP-2363 and is 
unable to return, it will immediately and continuously attempt to kill 


itself until it succeeds, resorting to biting out its own veins or 
repeatedly bashing its skull against a wall if necessary. SCP-2363-A 
has on several occasions attempted to kill Foundation personnel 
with its hands and teeth, but as of yet has not been successful. 


SCP-2363-B designates the eleven women (ages 26-34) originally 
found within SCP-2363 when it was discovered in 1967. Each 
instance of SCP-2363-B was matched to a recent missing persons 
report from Wyoming, Colorado, or Utah. SCP-2363-B instances 
were extremely sedate, and wandered SCP-2363 without direction. 
They also did not require food or water while within SCP-2363. Ten 
months after the discovery of SCP-2363, each of the ten surviving 
instances of SCP-2363-B was removed from the area, and quickly 
recovered from their sedation. All SCP-2363-B instances were 
unable to recall their time within SCP-2363, or how they arrived 
there. Removed instances have been found to be unable to 
conceive, despite the absence of any apparent problems with their 
reproductive systems. Each instance was administered Class-D 
amnestics and was delivered to the authorities in several nearby 
towns. These instances should be monitored for further anomalous 
phenomena. 


If SCP-2363-A dies for any reason, one instance of SCP-2363-B will 
rapidly grow heavily pregnant and give birth to a tumorous mass, 
which will quickly grow into an adult SCP-2363-A2. This birthing 
process appears to be very painful to SCP-2363-B, but is not usually 
fatals. 


+ Selected Incident Logs for SCP-2363 


Incident-2363-02: SCP-2363-A is shot in the chest four 
times while attempting an attack on Foundation 
personnel constructing the perimeter fence. SCP-2363-A 
dies, and an instance of SCP-2363-B gives birth to a 
new instance of SCP-2363-A, who retreats into the 
farmhouse. 


Incident-2363-04: Research personnel attempt to 

remove SCP-2363-A from SCP-2363. SCP-2363-A kills 
itself while in transit to Site- by smashing its head into 
the side of the transport vehicle until dead. An instance 


of SCP-2363-B grows pregnant and dies during the birth 
of a new instance of SCP-2363-A. SCP-2363-A returns 
to the farmhouse. 


Incident-2363-09: All instances of SCP-2363-B are 
removed from the area, and a research team is sent in to 
attempt an interview with SCP-2363-A. SCP-2363-A 
attacks the team and attempts to bite a security officer. 
SCP-2363-A is shot in the head by Security Officer 
Angela Jones and dies. After 3 minutes Security Officer 
Jones collapses and reports extreme abdominal pain; 
shortly thereafter, an instance of SCP-2363-A erupts fully 
grown from her abdomen, killing her. Remaining team 
members retreat from the area. 

Note: Female personnel are no longer to be assigned to 
Area-63. 


Incident-2363-14: Second team is sent in to interview 
SCP-2363-A. SCP-2363-A does not cooperate and 
attacks the team. SCP-2363-A is killed by a shot to the 
head, and no personnel sustain serious injuries. The 
team leaves the area and no activity is reported for 
approximately 73 hours. An instance of SCP-2363-A is 
then observed to claw its way to the surface from 
beneath the ground. Instance appears extremely 
agitated and rushes the perimeter fence. SCP-2363-A is 
unable to scale the fence, and retreats to the farmhouse 
after several hours. This spontaneous generation occurs 
after all subsequent instances of SCP-2363-A’s death. 


Incident-2363-25: A third and final team is sent in, and 
successfully managed to conduct an interview with 
SCP-2363-A. The team is invited into the farmhouse, 
where the interview takes place. The interview concludes 
when SCP-2363-A attacks members of the team. See 
below for a transcript of this interview. 

Note: No further personnel are to enter SCP-2363 at this 
time. 


Interview Log 2363-25 


Interviewed: SCP-2363-A 
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Roberts 


Foreword: Interview conducted within SCP-2363, after 6 
unsuccessful attempts. The reasons behind SCP-2363- 
A’s sudden cooperation are currently not understood. 


<Begin Log> 
Roberts: Hello 2363-A 


SCP-2363-A: Tom'll do just fine, boy. Would y'all like 
anything? Tea? 


Roberts: No, thank you, we just need to ask you a few 
questions. 


SCP-2363-A: Sure boy, what d’you want to know? 


Roberts: Well to start, what can you tell us about this 
land? 


SCP-2363-A: What’s there to tell? Tom just lives here, 
ain’t much else to say. 


Roberts: How did you get here? 
SCP-2363-A: Why, Tom was born here. 
Roberts: And when was that? 
SCP-2363-A laughs to itself. 


SCP-2363-A: Oh quite a while now, long ‘fore you all got 
here. 


Roberts: Our organization? 


SCP-2363-A: Sure, sure. But longer than that. Tom was 
talkin’ more about your kind. 


Roberts: You mean humans? 


SCP-2363-A: Oh them too, yes. But even longer than 
that. Tom’s been on this land just ‘bout longer than 
anyone can remember. He was here before the hairy folk 
died out, and before the Black Horde themselves 
marched across these plains. Tom’s been here before 
there even were plains. 


Roberts: Can you tell me why you’ve been so hostile to 
our personnel in the past? 


SCP-2363-A: Well now, Tom don’t take to kindly to 
trespassers comin’ onto his land an’ takin’ his wombs 
and buildin’ fences all over the place. 


Roberts: Well we've determined that this area and those 
women warrant containment and monitoring. 


SCP-2363-A: Tom begs to differ. Tom wasn’t hurtin 
nobody, and he'd sincerely appreciate it if you gave him 
back what’s his. 


Roberts: I’m afraid we can’t do that at this time. 
SCP-2363-A: Well. That's a shame. 


SCP-2363-A remains quiet for several seconds, and then 
lunges at Researcher Roberts and attempts to bite into 
his neck. SCP-2363-A is forcibly removed by security 
personnel. Interview is concluded.
