JK: Right, so after opening and dismissing about a 
dozen rooms, | found a cabin completely covered in 
chunks of flesh. In the middle stood a record player that 
was playing 'Symphony of Destruction No. MCMLXXVI 
for depth charge and black hole generator’ by Vivaldi. 
Don't ask me how | know, cause | couldn't see the 
record's label, | just knew. 


It wasn't really music though, just a really shrill whistling, 
sounds of screaming and a sound like air rushing from a 
balloon. Anyway, something started seeping out from the 
horn, sort of a purple sludge. It quickly started to form a 


vaguely cuttlefish-like shape, so | didn't stick around for it 
to complete, | just ran from there and gave a sit rep to 
Wilson. She decided we needed the big guns, so we 
isolated the bridge from the rest of the ship and prepared 
for an intrusion. 


HA: A quick question: what do you mean you isolated 
the bridge? 


JK: It's hard to describe. Wilson has this thing she does 
where she sort of reroutes part of the main dream 
construct so when you get near and you don't know the 
right thought sequence, you end up in an unrelated part 
of the subconscious. A 'you can look, but you can't touch’ 
kind of deal. Try and you might end up in a dream about 
the mark's childhood pet doing the conga or something. 
It's really hard to do - I'm definitely not certified yet - but 
she figured that whatever was coming through 
downstairs was probably a heavy hitter. Did mean she 
was strained, so | had to take the brunt of what was 
coming. 


HA: And what was coming? 


JK: Again, hard to describe, we're talking a reality 
dictated by the residual effects of high amplitude brain 
waves here. Imagine if a cuttlefish made from wind 
chimes came barreling down a piece of intestinal tract. 
Like that, only the wind chimes had teeth. It appeared 
from a stair well and it was on me before | could really 
prepare, so | instinctively formed spikes. That made it 
retreat for a moment, but it didn't take long for it to come 
back for more. Wilson was behind me, and she'd already 
engaged her abdominal gauss cannon. | took part of that 
fire, but that's part of the job | guess, and there's no pain 
unless you allow it, so | just tried to push that thing back 
from the bridge. Anyway, | think we must have hit 
something vital at some point, because it suddenly 
backed off and slithered down the corridor again. Wilson 
was breathing heavily, and | could feel part of my 
concrete had been melted away by some kind of acid 


where I'd touched the thing. We didn't see it anymore 
after that. We left the barricade up while we got out of 
there to recover, but we figured we needed to shield the 
bridge better in the future. Wilson had some ideas, 
reprogramming some parts of the subconscious mind 
mostly, but it'll take an expert's touch. 


HA: Ah yes, the updated security measures you 
proposed. We have those under review. And your 
professional opinion on what that thing was? 


JK: | know that officially we don't have a leg to stand on, 
but I'm going to go with one of Qi Shao's. Don't know 
who though. Or maybe what, it's not always clear. It kind 
of felt too alien to be ex-human, you know? Really, they 
keep coming back with heavier ordnance, and | don't 
know how long we can keep this up. 


HA: Noted. Thank you, Operative Kastner.

SCP-2604: Not A Fence 


Item #: SCP-2604 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2604 is stored in 
containment cell 92 at Site 39. 


+ Access Outdated Procedure 


Safe exposure to SCP-2604 has been 
determined as less than 60 minutes total 
lifetime exposure. All observation outside of 
approved testing is to be conducted remotely. 
The cell is furnished with appropriate sanitary 
and culinary equipment for prolonged 
exposure without direct intervention from 
Foundation personnel. 


Following Incident 2604 Alpha, all observation is to be conducted 
remotely. Under no circumstances are any Foundation personnel to 
come into direct visual contact with SCP-2604. Two armed guards 
are stationed to prevent exposure twenty-four hours a day. 
SCP-2604 is not to be moved from containment cell 92 under any 
circumstances. Any instances of SCP-2604-1 captured displaying 
late-stage symptoms are to be isolated immediately, and guarded by 
personnel with no prior exposure to SCP-2604. 


Authorisation for testing rescinded as of Incident 2604-Alpha - O5- 


Description: SCP-2604 is a fence constructed from pine wood and 
iron nails. Interviews with witnesses and personnel that have come 
into contact with SCP-2604 have revealed that none of them are 
able to identify SCP-2604 as being a fence. 


Direct visual contact with SCP-2604 causes a progressive cognitive 


dysfunction whereby affected subjects (hereafter referred to as 
SCP-2604-1) are incapable of recognising or responding to artificial 
barriers, markers, or pathways. The effect only progresses when 
subjects are in visual contact of SCP-2604; breaking this contact will 
arrest the progression. Amnestics have been shown to have little 
use, with test subjects reporting that they are unable to recall their 
observation of SCP-2604 but remain affected by the accompanying 
anomalous properties. 


After three hours of exposure, SCP-2604-1 are incapable of 
recalling the purpose or usage of signs or barriers that do not 
physically prevent movement. After twelve hours, SCP-2604-1 are 
incapable of recognising that a barrier to movement exists as such, 
failing to identify any barrier, marking, or direction that would prevent 
movement, even to the detriment of safety. 


In % of cases SCP-2604-1 will undergo a type-delta psychological 
restructuring (DPR) event following not less than 72 hours post 
exposure to SCP-2604. All cognitive dysfunction ceases, and 
SCP-2604-1 exhibit individuated responses to their exposure to 
SCP-2604. Common forms observed are: 


¢ The ineffectiveness of containment as a principle (observed 
exclusively among Foundation personnel) 

¢ Loss of personal inhibition 

¢ Exhibition of markedly increased symptoms of pre-existing 
psychological disorders 

* Significantly increased risk-taking or inability to manage risk 


Individuals observed to have experienced a DPR event also exhibit 
the ability to hasten onset in SCP-2604-1, notably including 
instances with little or no prior exposure. 
ACCESS RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE 

+ Input Credentials 


Incident 2604 Alpha 


Following eight weeks of testing and containment, sixty- 
three Foundation personnel had experienced some 


degree of exposure to SCP-2604. Late-stage infection 
was present in fifteen individuals — all D-class, exposed 
as a result of routine testing. At 17:48 on / /20 , 
D-178541 experienced the first recorded DPR event, and 
rapidly incited several nearby SCP-2604-1 to undergo 
the same. Security personnel and __- were forced 
to undergo DPR events, before assisting D-178541 with 
breaching security at the F-wing barracks. 


Over the course of the next three hours, approximately 
thirty-nine Foundation personnel experienced DPR 
events, a further seven had been terminated in attempts 
to resist. Containment was deliberately breached on 
SCP objects, and attempts were made to abscond with 
these objects. Remote observation of SCP-2604-1 
indicated that they were collectively convinced of the 
ineffectiveness of containment on these objects, and 
were attempting to remove them from the site for 
unknown reasons. 


Over the next 48 hours, Foundation security successfully 
reclaimed all but SCP objects, and all instances of 
SCP-2604-1 still on site were terminated. To date, SCP 
objects and former Foundation personnel are 
unaccounted for. Containment procedures were 
appropriately revised following this incident.

SCP-2605: Caretaker 


Item #: SCP-2605 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2605 is to be kept in a 
standard humanoid containment cell. SCP-2605 possesses the 
standard nutritional requirements for a non-anomalous human of 
comparable age and condition, and is to be fed and maintained 
appropriately. When it is necessary that SCP-2605 be moved, the 
subject should be rendered unconscious through the application of 
sedatives to its food source. 


Description: SCP-2605 is a human female formerly known as 

. The subject suffers from symptoms associated with Lewy body 
dementia, including memory loss and visual hallucinations. 
SCP-2605 finds movement difficult without aid and spends the 
majority of its time confined to its bed. 


Instances of SCP-2605-1 are apparently massless, air-displacing 
entities which manifest in the immediate vicinity (~5 meters) of 
SCP-2605 concurrent with the subject's hallucinations. SCP-2605-1 
instances have an internal temperature of approximately 51 degrees 
Celsius. Infrared imaging has revealed a consistent shape similar to 
an adult human male of 1.8 meters in height. Instances can 
physically interact with objects around them, typically performing 
actions such as fluffing the pillows or stroking the face of SCP-2605. 
Instances of SCP-2605-1 are universally non-hostile and disappear 
with an audible clap upon the cessation of the hallucination. Only 
one SCP-2605-1 instance has been observed to manifest at a time. 


Addendum 2605-A: Surveillance log excerpts 
Excerpt, 6/20/13 


[An instance of SCP-2605-1 paces around the bed of 


that Dr. had indeed dropped SCP-292, but instead of 
breaking, SCP-292 reversed the flow of time until a moment before it 
was dropped. If SCP-292 does in fact possess such a self- 
preservation system, the potential consequences [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Reclassification to Euclid approved / /20 , until more information 
on SCP-292’s properties can be gathered and analyzed.

SCP-2605: Come a little closer, dear. It's so drafty in this 
room. 


[SCP-2605-1 instance approaches and proceeds to 
stroke the face of SCP-2605. No audible sound is 
produced by the instance.] 


SCP-2605: Ah, well. It's hard, Charles, but they take care 
of me, don't they?! We'll endure it. We always have. 


Excerpt, 6/25/13 


[An instance of SCP-2605-1 sits on the bed of 
SCP-2605. Head movements from both entities seem to 
trace the rapid movements of an object on the other side 
of the room, though no detectable anomalies aside from 
the SCP-2605-1 instance manifest within the cell.] 


SCP-2605: She's lovely, Charles. Even lovelier than you 
described. Thank you for bringing her here. 


[Entities continue to track movement for approximately 
12 minutes, until cessation of hallucination. ] 


Excerpt, 4/9/14 


[An instance of SCP-2605-1 stands at the corner of the 
room opposite SCP-2605.] 


SCP-2605: Sing that song again, dear. The one | liked. 


[The SCP-2605-1 instance begins to tap its foot and rock 
back and forth. No sound is heard at first, though 
SCP-2605 periodically hums snippets of an unknown 
meloay.] 


[Abruptly, SCP-2605 begins coughing violently. The 
instance of SCP-2605-1 ceases rocking and quickly 
approaches SCP-2605, visibly shaking.] 


[SCP-2605 finishes coughing. The SCP-2605-1 instance 
adjusts the subject's bedsheets, still shaking.] 


[The SCP-2605-1 instance ceases shaking, and appears 
to briefly gesticulate. No audible sound is produced, but 
SCP-2605 can be observed smiling.] 


SCP-2605: Oh my, yes. As long as | still have my mind, 
I'll be all right.

SCP-2606: Verminous Vessel 


Item #: SCP-2606 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2606 is to be contained in 
a storage locker at Site-45. Permission from the current Site Director 
is required prior to removing SCP-2606 from its locker for testing 
purposes. When removing SCP-2606 from its locker, caution must 
be taken due to its breakable nature. Before and after all testing, 
SCP-2606 must undergo complete decontamination, in addition to a 
thorough wash with soap and water, in order to remove all dust, 
residue, and extraneous liquid. 


Description: SCP-2606 is a drinking glass resembling a conical pint 
glass, but with a slightly larger capacity of almost exactly 500 mL. 
SCP-2606 is seemingly sculpted from a single large piece of 
polished amber. Numerous preserved insects, primarily gnats, ants, 
and beetles, are trapped within the amber that composes 
SCP-2606. The species present within SCP-2606's amber indicate 
that the amber originated in the Baltic region of Germany, and is 
approximately 38 to 48 million years of age. However, the date at 
which it was polished and reshaped is unknown. 


SCP-2606's anomalous effects activate when a human subject 
ingests the tissues or bodily fluids of animals generally considered 
"verminous" by eating or drinking them directly from SCP-2606. The 
animal in question must be one that the subject would not normally 
eat and that the subject regards with disgust, contempt, or irrational 
fear!, or that the subject considers a threat to the health and well- 
being of human beings as a pest, a parasite, or a vector of disease. 
Animals that have induced the activation of SCP-2606 include bats, 
most rodents, many scavenging birds (crows, gulls, vultures, etc.), 
lizards, snakes, numerous frog species2, and almost all 
invertebrates, with the only exceptions being those that subjects 
consider "edible" (crabs, snails, squid, etc.). 


Consuming animals such as those listed above from SCP-2606 
allows the human subject to telepathically detect the mental activity 
of all living specimens of that animal species within a radius of 
approximately 10 meters. This ability is exclusively passive; subjects 
are not capable of communicating their thoughts or mental activity to 
specimens of these animals. The subject's telepathic detection is 
constant, and cannot be removed from the subject by any known 
means.
