Mason: Smack in the middle of the table. We 
all jumped back, except for Dave, who just 
sorta...snarled? | heard Em mutter something 
like 'Christ, Dave.’ and snort, and then she 
said “Why, Stevie-kins! Are these for me?” and 
fluttered her eyelashes. 


: Is this when Campbell physically 
threatened you? 


Mason: This is when Dave decked me. 
(pause) 


Mason: It’s fuzzy after that. Mike and Alix 
dragged me away, and | was fading in and out, 
but | saw...| think...he grabbed Em and started 
biting her. And then | was here.

Security was dispatched to the Bio Wing Cafeteria, 
where they found the entranceways blocked by multiple 
instances of SCP-3876-1. After securing the area, they 
were able to retrieve Mason, who was taken to the 
infirmary and treated for a minor concussion. Campbell 
was subdued with some difficulty and taken to a holding 
cell. Choi was taken to the infirmary and treated for 
several bite wounds, given a sedative, and monitored. 


Campbell eventually had to be sedated, as he began 
hurling himself at the door of his cell. Dr. Kevin Chandler, 
the SCP- lead, examined him after being notified of 
the altercation. Chandler took blood samples, but said 
that they were a formality: Campbell was displaying 
classic symptoms of Stage 2 __ infection; the 3876 
Lockdown needed to remain in effect until everyone in 
the Wing was screened for _, Choi and Mason being 
priorities. 


Choi and two other SCP- __ researchers tested positive 
for SCP-__, and were treated with broad-spectrum 
antibiotics known to be effective in the early stages of 
Campbell recovered after undergoing more vigorous 
treatment for several weeks. During this time, the 
containment protocols for SCP- were re-evaluated. 


Addendum_25JUN2016: SCP-3876-2 
+Expand 


After Incident 3876-  , Dr. Greenaway contacted the 
Site-81 Archives, requesting a reexamination of Lot 76. 
She wanted to see if there might be information 
regarding the apparent ability of SCP-3876 to detect the 
presence of SCP-___ within infectees, as well as remotely 
manifest the SCP-3876-1 instances that lead to the Bio 
Wing Lockdown and subsequent discovery of the SCP- 
Breach. 


Archivist Erina Carson had been assigned to examine 
and catalogue the remainder of Lot 76 and was in the 
process of transcribing the Commonplace Book. She had 
completed the first third or so of the book, consisting of 
handwritten quotes, lists of books, poetry, recipes, and 
the occasional sketch. After speaking to Dr. Greenaway, 
Carson skimmed through the rest of the book and found 
two sections of note: ‘Floriography’ and ‘Crises and 
Curiosities’. 


‘Floriography’ consisted of several pages containing an 


extensive list of plants and flowers, each with a detailed 
description of their symbolic meaning(s). Further notes 
and jottings in the margins served to cross-reference 
several entries, and provide alternate meanings 
depending on other flowers contained within the same 
bouquet. After comparing the SCP-3876-1 instance file 
to the Floriography notes from the Commonplace Book, 
it was discovered that the yellow roses that appeared 
when SCP-3876 encountered a new person indicated an 
offer of ‘Friendship’. The rhododendrons, anemones, and 
mandrake that appeared during Incident 3876- meant 


1 66 


“Danger”, “Sickness”, and "Horror" respectively. 


‘Crises and Curiosities’ consisted of several pages with 
pasted Ephemera: postcards, carnival flyers, newspaper 
articles, pages from letters. All described something 
unusual or unexplained, and were accompanied by 
extensive handwritten notes including further details, and 
how they had been overcome or constrained. Next to an 
newspaper clipping: ‘Drastic Closing Order Issued to 
Prevent Epidemic’, was a detailed description of all 
stages of SCP- __ infection, with notes on treatment, the 
alleviation of symptoms, and the manner in which the 
bodies of victims should be disposed. 


Further examination of the Crises and Curiosities Section 
of the Commonplace Book, now designated 
SCP-3876-2, has led to the realization that three of the 
entries may refer to SCP- ,SCP- ,andSCP- . Inthe 
case of _, the information provided led to extensive 
revisions to the Containment Procedures. Research into 
the other ‘Crises and Curiosities’ detailed, and the 
provenance of Lot 76 are ongoing, as are attempts at 
establishing direct communication with SCP-3876.

SCP-3877: MINAOA BAR 


Item #: SCP-3877 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The 50 km2 island located at 
°' ."N ° ' ."E in the Pacific Ocean is to be stricken from all 
governmental and personal accounts. The location is to be actively 
shielded from remote observation so as to prevent inquiry or 
information breach. Any remote observation device such as drones 
which may pose a possible threat to the continued secrecy of the 
island must be promptly destroyed or redirected. Manned aircraft or 
seafaring vessels must be flagged down and questioned about their 
knowledge regarding the location. If it is determined the person or 
persons has no prior knowledge regarding the island, they are to be 
amnesticized and released. In the event a detained human has prior 
knowledge regarding the island, please refer to Document 3877-004 
for proper interrogation techniques. 


The approx. 11 km? section of the island which constitutes 
SCP-3877 is to be kept under guard from a distance of at least 500 
meters. Guard is to be advised that if they are in a position in which 
they are capable of establishing line of sight with an instance of 
SCP-3877-1, they are at risk and they should be watchful for 
instances of SCP-3877-2. Any personnel planning to venture into 
SCP-3877 for any reason should carry with them equipment and 
body armor capable of overpowering a member of the species Ursus 
arctos in the event they are attacked by an instance of SCP-3877-2, 
as well as adequate radiation shielding from the remains of trampled 
grass instances of SCP-3877-3. Members of the indigenous 
population of the island are permitted entry to SCP-3877 for 
religious reasons. 


Any captive instances of SCP-3877-2 are to be transported to 
Biological Containment Site-66 in a simulated forested environment, 


and fed a diet typical of the species Ursus arctos on a regular basis. 
Caretakers are to be advised that given their anomalously efficient 
metabolism, SCP-3877-2 is capable of functioning on a significantly 
smaller amount of food than a non-anomalous member of their 
species of equivalent proportions. 


Description: SCP-3877 is the collective designation given to the 
entities which inhabit the 11 square kilometers of land on an island 
in the Pacific at the coordinates listed above. 


SCP-3877-1 are an estimated collection of | double sided 
freestanding mirrors of variable height and width. They are 
functionally identical to non-anomalous mirrors in most applications. 
Upon reflecting another instance of SCP-3877-1, the instances will 
display each other as a member of the kingdom Plantae, despite no 
physical change. A full list of observed species can be found in 
Document 3877-16, although the most prominently observed group, 
consisting of approximately 87% of all sightings, is the genus 
Quercus. Given the high density of SCP-3877-1, looking into an 
instance gives the illusion of the area consisting of SCP-3877 as a 
densely populated forest. Instances of SCP-3877-1 removed from 
the immediate area demonstrate no additional anomalous 
properties. 


SCP-3877-2 are a presumed biological species which populate the 
reflected surface within SCP-3877-1. The species is virtually 
indistinguishable from members of the species Ursus arctos, as the 
only observed difference has been SCP-3877-2's ability to subsist 
on a comparatively smaller amount of food. (Despite apparent 
vocalizations, no sound has been detected in accordance.) 
SCP-3877-2 only exists on one side of one instance of SCP-3877-1 
at any given time. However, SCP-3877-2 may travel to another 
instance of SCP-3877-1 by concealing their complete mass behind 
the corresponding image of the plant displayed. Although not 
observed often, SCP-3877 is also able to travel to the reverse side 
of SCP-3877-1 by walking beyond the visible boundary. SCP-3877-2 
demonstrates significant knowledge of this phenomenon and is able 
to utilize this knowledge tactically. 


SCP-3877-2 is capable of interacting with any object reflected onto 
the surface of SCP-3877-1. As SCP-3877-2 displays the general 


behavior and instinct of the species Ursus arctos, it will act 
somewhat aggressively to defend what it considers its territory and 
will actively hunt prey. A lack of availability of edible plant life has 
caused the population to become uncharacteristically aggressive 
and carnivorous. Due to the local populace's religion, human meat 
has become a significant part of SCP-3877-2's diet. Any material 
which is interacted with on the surface of SCP-3877-1 by 
SCP-3877-2 is to be considered an instance of SCP-3877-3. Any 
organism which is incapable of fending off SCP-3877-2 and 
reverting to normal reflection is also to be considered an instance of 
SCP-3877-3.1 


SCP-3877-3 instances will no longer display a reflection on any 
surface, save the instance of SCP-3877-1 on which they were 
eaten, killed or otherwise moved by SCP-3877-2. Further research 
has revealed SCP-3877-3 instances are perceived telepathically as 
opposed to visually by observers, and light is no longer able to 
reflect off of the object or organism. Over the course of a 360 hour 
period, the telepathic effect will decrease in effectiveness and the 
instance of SCP-3877-3 will become gradually more blurred and 
transparent in observation. At the end of the 360 hour period, the 
subject will become impossible to perceive visually, and their 
material composition will rapidly (>1 second) degrade into alpha and 
beta particles and gamma radiation. Human subjects have reported 
a sharp vision throughout the process, suggesting the telepathic 
perception originates from the instance itself. 


Many experiments have been conducted on the entities of 
SCP-3877, some of which are listed below. 


Experiment Log 3877-001 

Description: Shattering an instance of SCP-3877-1 (Oak 
tree) with a sledgehammer 

Result: Upon impact, SCP-3877-1 ceased to appear as 
an oak tree on all other instances of SCP-3877-01, 
simply reflecting as a shattered mirror. Remains have 
been determined to be non-anomalous. 


Experiment Log 3877-002 
Description: Introduction of foreign mirror into SCP-3877 
measuring 66 x 100 cm 


Result: Mirror reflected as large tubular bear cage trap. 
All repeated attempts with many different mirrors have 
yielded similar results. Upon SCP-3877-2 entering and 
activating trap, foreign mirror displayed top down view of 
the closed bear cage with SCP-3877-2 inside. 


Experiment Log 3877-005 

Description: Shattering foreign mirror containing 
SCP-3877-2 with sledgehammer. 

Result: Upon impact, foreign mirror ceased display of 
tubular bear trap, and reflected cage displayed on 
SCP-3877-1 opened. SCP-3877-2 exited cage hurriedly 
and escaped. 


Experiment Log 3877-015 

Description: Attempt to establish captive population of 
SCP-3877 utilizing transplanted instances of 
SCP-3877-1 and caged instances of SCP-3877-2 
Result: Attempt successful. Successful captive 
population of ~39 instances of SCP-3877-2 established 
at Biological Containment Site-66. 


An unrelated and non-anomalous indigenous human population has 
been discovered inhabiting the island. Their hierarchy and tools are 
tribal in nature, and they have been dubbed the "Ursapiens" given 
their proximity and relationship with SCP-3877. Through the efforts 


of Foundation translators, contact and positive relationships with 


these natives has been established. Their tribal rites surrounding 
death are closely related to SCP-3877, suggesting SCP-3877 may 


precede the invention of the mirror. The population refers to 


SCP-3877 as the "Green Sea". An interview was conducted with a 
chief of the tribe regarding the tribe's relationship with SCP-3877.

SCP-505 was acquired by the Foundation from the town of in 
Oman, when the town in question was quarantined by the Omani 
government due to reports of a black fluid beginning to seep out 
from the town's post office and causing the deaths of a number of its 
inhabitants. Fortuitously the arid and remote location of the incident 
prevented wide-scale environmental contamination of SCP-505-1. 
The Foundation retrieved SCP-505-1 with casualties. No other 
anomalous properties of the town's post office or the town itself were 
detected. It was deemed necessary to terminate __ civilian 
inhabitants of who were deemed likely to be contaminated. The 
incident was reported as a non-extranormal chemical spill.

Dr. : Hello, M 

M _ _: Good fortune, Dr. 

Dr. :lwas wondering if you could tell me; 
why do you send the members of your tribe 
who are elderly or critically ill to the "Green 
Sea"? 

M __ : The quickest and easiest way to pass 
into the [afterlife] is with liberation of the soul 
from the body. If the body remains after death, 
the soul must painfully and slowly remove itself 
through the mouth. The devils which populate 
the Green Sea feed on the mortal body of our 
kin. As long as they are fed, they do not invade 
our homes, raze our crops, and destroy our 
children. We are allowing the devils to remain 
happy, while we are able to pass on easier. 
Dr. : Are there any records of the "devils" 
invading your village? 

M_ : *hesitates* No written word exists, but 
the story told to us as toddlers warns of great 
danger if the devils are not fed. Many 
generations have been told a tale of an ocean 
awash with flame, as the great beasts roam 
the land unshackled from their prisons. 

Dr. :Thatwillbeall,M  . Thank you. 

M_ :As to you.

Note: Given our current understanding of 
SCP-3877's anomalous attributes, currently | 
am unable to see a conceivable way this story 
could ever come to pass. Nevertheless, due to 
the the inherent unpredictability in dealing with 
anomalous objects, | recommend minimal 
exposure of SCP-3877 instances to the ocean 
and ocean water. - Dr.
