SCP-3550: Yeah, him. He doesn't sound like a 
commander. I've never heard him yell at 
someone. | thought they had to be super strict, 
like in the movies. 


Dr. Langford: When did you talk to him? 


SCP-3550: | didn't. He had to get his team to 
give me food drip on Monday. 


Dr. Langford: Again? We talked about this, 
you have to eat properly for your medication to 
work. 


SCP-3550: [LAUGHS] Yes, mom. 


Dr. Langford: Why didn't you eat on Monday? 


SCP-3550: [PAUSE] Because... | mean, | 
don't know. 


Dr. Langford: You don't know? 


SCP-3550: The pills make that I'm not sad 
anymore, but | still don't get why you bother 
keeping me...going. 


Dr. Langford: Come on, don't think like that. 


SCP-3550: Why not? Can you think of a 
reason? Anything? Doctor, it's been eight 
years since | last saw someone's face. Since | 
last held someone, hugged someone. I'll never 
be able to see or feel anyone for the rest of my 
life. 


Dr. Langford: This isn't the solution to that. 
SCP-3550: In a way, it is. 


Dr. Langford: Don't do anything drastic on 
your own, ok? Can you promise me that? 


SCP-3550: [REMAINS SILENT] 
Dr. Langford: Lily? 


SCP-3550: Sorry. | don't think | can. Can we 
talk again later? | don't want to talk right now.

[IRRELEVANT DIALOGUE REMOVED] 
SCP-3550: Thanks for the books, by the way. 


Dr. Langford: It's good to have some 
distraction, right? 


SCP-3550: Right. 


Dr. Langford: If you don't mind, I'd like to ask 
you about the origins of your condition. 


SCP-3550: Do we have to? | don't really want 
to. Can't we just look at the pictures again? | 
made one about you! Well, | don't know what 
you look like, but | guessed! 


Dr. Langford: |...they want me to- [PAUSE] 
the people taking care of you asked me to 
question you about this. We're doing this at 
your pace. We're trying to understand what 
happened to you. 


SCP-3550: Okay. Can we do it afterwards? 


Dr. Langford: Look at the pictures? Sure, as 
long as you want. It looks like your condition 
surfaced when you were about 16. Does that 
sound right? 


SCP-3550: Maybe. Some of my friends took 
years to notice what | did to them. 


Dr. Langford: And you weren't aware of it at 
the time? 


SCP-3550: [PAUSE] Are you asking me if | 
knew that | was giving them cancer? That | 
was murdering them on purpose? 


Dr. Langford: Right, no, | didn't mean to say 
that- 


SCP-3550: | ruined their lives. No, worse. 
Their families... Molly's father talked to me at 
her funeral. He told me that she's in a better 
place and that | was such a good friend to her- 


<SCP-3550 becomes visibly distressed and 


starts to weep.> 
SCP-3550: Doctor...can we stop this now? 


Dr. Langford: It's okay, Lily. We're attempting 
to find out- 


<SCP-3550 covers its face.> 
Dr. Langford: Do you need a moment? 


<SCP-3550 remains unresponsive for 30 
seconds.> 


Dr. Langford: If you want, we can pick this up- 


SCP-3550: <Strained> The first... time it 
happened. It was a girl a year above me, at 
school | mean. She hated me. I... felt... | 
thought | was controlling it... thought | could 
hurt people that were mean to me. But | didn't 
want her to... 


Dr. Langford: | know. You didn't want to hurt 
anybody. It's not your fault- 


SCP-3550: What if it is!? What if | was angry 
at her and that made it go faster? 


Dr. Langford: We can't be sure about that. 


SCP-3550: Then it happened to everyone. 
Nobody knew what was happening. First Molly 
got sick. Then my teacher... | didn't know if | 
had something to do with it, but the feeling was 
gone. The control was gone. There never was 
control. 


Dr. Langford: What happened after that? 


SCP-3550: Thomas. My brother. He... they 
took him into intensive care a few days before 


Christmas. He... Tommy was dead within 
three days... it soread to everywhere. After 
that they wanted to examine mom to be sure. 
They found-

Langford concluded the session.>

Interviewed: SCP-3550 
Interviewer: Dr. Langford 


Foreword: Evaluation of mental state. 
Interview conducted after failed suicide 
attempt. 


*™ (Irrelevant dialogue removed)** 


Dr. Langford: Are you feeling better? | mean, 
physically? Does it still hurt? 


SCP-3550: [Rubs its neck] It's still a little sore. 
Is Will okay? He sounded really upset. 


Dr. Langford: He'll be fine. He just wants you 
to be safe. 


SCP-3550: Yeah. I'm sorry. | don't want to hurt 
him. Or you, or anyone...you know. | won't do 
it again. 


Dr. Langford: We're aware that you feel 


responsible for your anomaly, but we know 
that your...condition is involuntary. 


SCP-3550: [Coughs, laughs faintly]. Said very 
professionally, doctor. | know that you know, 
but it's not why | did it. | Know you want what's 
best for me, but what I've done isn't something 
you can explain away. My family is dead, and 
it's my fault. 


Dr. Langford: It's alright- 


SCP-3550: <Laughs, becomes visibly 
distressed and starts to weep> It's not ‘alright’, 
doctor. None of this is alright! Why do you 
keep me alive? Why do you risk your people? 
Haven't | done enough? 


Dr. Langford: We're doing everything we can 
to- 


SCP-3550: And for what? So | can just stay 
here until | die? Doctor, it's been years. | know 
how hard you try but you're just wearing 
yourself out. You can't fix me, | don't think 
anyone can. I'll never be able to see or feel 
anyone for the rest of my life. Would you want 
to live like that? 


Dr. Langford: What about William? He'd be 
devastated if you died. | would- [PAUSE] 


SCP-3550: You would what? 


Dr. Langford: Nothing. The people here care 
about you. They'd be distraught if you were 
gone. Is that what you want? 


SCP-3550: You can make them forget, right? 
It's what you tried to do with me. Make them 
forget about me. | know you're not supposed 


[At this point in the interview, SCP-457 managed to 
severely damage much of the sprinkler system and 
destroy a portion of the fuel injector that had been 
sustaining its intelligent form, giving it free access to 
several gallons of gasoline. The interview transcript was 
recovered via security footage from before the blast. 
SCP-457's temporary breach of containment came from 
an exploitation of the sealant used to attach the blast 
shielding to the rest of the chamber. How SCP-457 
managed to learn of and exploit this weakness is 
unknown, and it has since been moved to a higher- 
security chamber. ] 


Addendum 2: Due to the excessive resource requirements in 
keeping SCP-457 contained, locating a permanent renewable fuel 
source is currently a high priority. Proposals so far include, but are 
not limited to: 


¢ Use of starch dust obtained from SCP-1689 potatoes. 
¢ Use of SCP-124 to rapidly produce sources of bio-fuel. 


Approval of one or more of these proposals pending review.

to do that or agree with me, but you know that 
it's better that way. You don't need to say 
anything, you're not allowed to agree with me. 
Just... 


Dr. Langford: Yes? 


SCP-3550: I'm tired, doctor. I'll go to bed. You 
go to bed as well, I'm sorry for waking all of 
you up. Just... think about what | said. 


Dr. Langford: [PAUSE] Good night Lil-

SCP-3551: Dr. Wondertainment's Inflatable Invasion 


Item #: SCP-3551 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All non-inflated SCP-3551 
instances are to be kept in Storage Locker-51 at Site-42. 


Inflated SCP-3551-1 instances are to be kept in standard humanoid 
containment chambers, and their SCP-3551-2 instances confiscated 
and stored in Anomalous Weapons Locker-52. Guards assigned to 
SCP-3551-1 instances are to carry standard Foundation combat 
knives to ensure continued cooperation. SCP-3551-1 instances are 
to remain under the impression that any sharp object will result in 
their immediate fatality, and all recovered instances are to be led to 
believe in the ruse as well. 


SCP-3551-3 instances are to be kept in a containment room with an 
airlock chamber which separate it from the rest of the facility. They 
are to be fitted with tracking devices. Due to the nature of 
SCP-3551-3 instances, sightings from civilian populations are to be 
viewed as a low priority. 


Mobile Task Force Alpha-23 ("Meddling Earthlings") are to track and 
intercept uncontained SCP-3551 instances. 


Description: SCP-3551 refers to a line of inflatable toy products 
which are designated SCP-3551-1 through 3 that are sold together. 
SCP-3551 come in packaging that identifies the product as "Dr. 
Wondertainment's Inflatable Invasion!" with a specific name of the 
items contained inside the packaging below it. It also comes with the 
following document: 


Had an inflatable encounter of the third kind? 


Well, now you can! You can take part in the conquest of 


Earth with Dr. Wondertainment's Inflatable Invasion 
pack! Wow! 


You can now build an army of invaders and conquer the 
Earth! See them fire their lasers and their UFOs soar 
across the sky! Hear the alien invaders speak and enjoy 
the light show from their cool blasters at night! Have fun 
that is out of this world! 


All it takes is some air or helium and the fun begins! 


Caution: Dr. Wondertainment and associates are not 
responsible for any lost of sight due to misuse of the 
lasers. 


SCP-3551 anomalous properties do not occur until it is inflated with 
air or helium. When fully inflated, the object will remain inflated. This 
is due to the plug containing the air within the item sealing on its 
own, and therefore can not easily be deflated. The material the 
instances are comprised of is resilient to piercing, but is vulnerable 
to intense heat. 


SCP-3551-1 instances have the appearance of a generic "grey 
alien" and come in a variety of colors (see file image). Instances 
have a tag that brand them as "Invaders" and with a name belonging 
to the instance that it will identify as. Instances of SCP-3551-1 are 
sapient and can vocalize fluent English speech via unknown means. 
They have a persistent desire to "conquer the Earth" and "enslave 
mankind" though they are harmless and somewhat incompetent. 
Though instances are highly intelligent in some respects (see 
Incident 3551-01) despite being generally foolish and inept towards 
achieving their goal. 


SCP-3551-2 are inflatable toy guns based on laser weapons from 
science-fiction media of the 1950s. On the packaging, they are 
referred to as "Laser Blasters." The items have external LED lights 
that light up when firing. Instances fire a weak red laser beam that is 
relatively harmless. Though shots fired repeatedly into the eyes, can 
cause temporary and long-term blindness. Wearing sun glasses can 
serve as adequate protection. 


SCP-3551-3 instances are small and designed to resemble a "flying 
saucer" that are often claimed to be sighted and referenced in 
media. They have no tags unlike previous instances and on the 
packaging they're referred to as "UFO Flyers." When inflated, 
subjects are capable of flight via unknown means around their 
vicinity, and light up with external LED lights at night. Instances have 
been shown to posses minor intelligence with a social capacity with 
one another, some forming groups with hierarchies. They would 
occasionally interact with SCP-3551-1 instances. Although, they 
prefer not to due to -1 specimens sometimes attempting to 'board' 
them. 


The Foundation became of aware of the existence of SCP-3551 
items from an investigation performed by the Unusual Incidents Unit 
of the FBI. Agents from the unit were investigating standard alleged 
sightings of UFOs (later confirmed to be -3 instances), and stumbled 
upon a warehouse containing crates of non-inflated and inflated 
instances. The UIU agents immediately reported the discovery to the 
Foundation. Since then, the Foundation has captured instances. 


Incident 3551-1: On 5/18/ , a local television broadcast hijacking 
occurred at the town of in Canada by SCP-3551-1 instances in 
an abandoned building. Four instances were responsible and are 
designated as A through D for the following transcript of the 
broadcast. For their actual designations and further information, 
request them from Dr. Pattinson.

Incident 3551-02: An SCP-3551-1 instance was lifted by a gust of 
wind and, panicking, landed in Site- . Instance was interrogated and 
stated that it was "studying the enemy base" from a nearby hill. 
Instance was transferred to containment after it refused further 
communication.
