two hours to make as much progress as they 
could, and were then instructed to return from 
SCP-3227 after the time had elapsed. They 
were instructed not to go too deep into 
SCP-3227 so that researchers could maintain 
visual contact with them through binoculars. 


Result: As soon as the D-Class personnel 
began to chop at SCP-3227, concentrated 
toxins began to leak into the air. The protective 
suits that the researchers had provided for the 
D-Class didn't appear to be adequate in 
stopping SCP-3227's toxin. The D-Class who 
struck at SCP-3227 collapsed after only a few 
seconds of exposure. One of the D-Class in 
the area, designated as D-231, witnessed this 
and ran back to the rendezvous point. The D- 
Class assigned to dig into SCP-3227, 
designated D-175, failed his task as the shovel 
wasn't capable of digging into SCP-3227. All 
D-Class personnel, except for D-231 and 
D-175, were poisoned and subsequently 
consumed by SCP-3227. 


Researcher's Notes: Dr. Arslan expressed 
disappointment in his inability to retrieve a 
sample of SCP-3227, but was optimistic about 
future projects. Dr Arslan and the rest of his 
research team concluded that, with proper 
protection that utilized oxygen tanks, it would 
be entirely possible to obtain small samples of 
SCP-3227. 


+ Incident XX47-B 
Date: June 19th, 1978. 


Incident Report: In the first attempt to remove 
the secondary instance of SCP-3227 from the 
Talladega National Forrest, ten Foundation 
agents who had been equipped with full 


protection suits and flamethrowers were sent 
to remove the instance. Due to numerous 
factors, the mission failed. One agent, Agent 
Maglow, managed to escape and reach the 
rendezvous point. Agent Maglow was 
commended for his bravery and service, 
however, the other nine members of his team 
were never recovered. 


The fire that resulted from their collective 
efforts had eliminated approximately 30% of 
this secondary instance of SCP-3227. 
However, it would take another month for the 
instance of SCP-3227 to be completely 
removed. When it was, researchers were 
unable to discover anything specific about the 
biology of SCP-3227, as it had been 
completely incinerated in the aftermath. 


+ Interview Log XX47-B 


On August 8th, 1978, Agent Maglow was interviewed by 
Dr. Arslan regarding Incident XX47-B. Only the 
interviews audio was recorded. 


Begin Audio Recording 


Dr. Arslan: Hello, Agent Maglow, my apologies 
for keeping you waiting. 


Dr. Arslan is heard sitting down, as well as 
laying papers onto a desk. 


Agent Maglow: Hey, doc. No problem. 


Dr. Arslan: You don't seem very chatty today, 
now do you? Would you like to reschedule the 
interview for some other time? 


Agent Maglow: No, no it's fine. I'd rather just 
get this over with so | don't have to think about 


it anymore. 


Dr. Arslan: That's the spirit! So, you've had 
more intimate experience with SCP-3227 than 
anyone else, so what I'd like to know... 


Agent Maglow: ... Well, we went in to kill the 
thing, right? First, it might help if you briefed us 
better for shit like this. Also, there wasn't much 
synergy in the team. | only knew Doug and 
Jonas, we'd worked together a lot in the past, 
so we stuck together. The rest just went off 
and did their own thing. 


Dr. Arslan: Well, teams are made based off of 
recommendation and service records. As for 
the briefing, we told you men everything we 
knew at the time. That's why you and me are 
doing this. To find out more, so there are no 
more incidents like the last one. 


Agent Maglow: Well... Whatever. If that's what 
you're worried about, I'll skip ahead a bit. 
Doug, Jonas and | had been burning away at 
some of the trees and shit for maybe fifteen 
minutes, not too long. The flames weren't 
spreading like the researchers said they 
would, so we were getting antsy. So, we left 
that area to get started on another one. That's 
when those... Tongues, or whatever the fuck 
those things are started popping out of the 
woodwork. 


At this point, Agent Maglow takes a long 
pause. 


Agent Maglow: They hit Doug first. It 
happened quick, and there were a lot of them. 
He didn't even have time to defend himself, 
they just ripped right through him. | mean, like 
a big, concentrated group of them. Wasn't just 


one. Then, a bunch of the tongues wrapped 
his body up and pinned it to the ground. | don't 
think that the tongues knew that they killed 
him. | backed up, trying to figure out what the 
fuck was happening. Jonas ran over to try and 
get Doug out of there. | yelled over to tell him 
to forget it, and that we needed to run. Bult... 


Agent Maglow takes another long pause. 


Agent Maglow: It didn't do any good. The 
tongues grabbed his arms and legs and pulled 
him down hard, breaking his helmet. Soon as 
that happened, | knew the poison would get 
him in a few minutes. | turned and ran for the 
burnt up part, last thing | heard was Jonas 
throwing up. Poison | guess... Anyways, the 
thing got me just before | made it to the burnt 
part. | only had to deal with two of the tongues. 
One grabbed my leg from far away, and 
another opened up in the ground right next to 
me as | tripped, wrapping around my body. 
Lucky me, the thing missed my right arm, so | 
could get my knife out. Barely managed to cut 
that tongue that | gave you guys off, that thing 
was tough. Soon as | did, | shot the 
flamethrower at the tongue on my leg. 


Dr. Arslan: You shot your own leg with the 
flamethrower? 


Agent Maglow: No, no | shot the tongue. It was 
far away so | shot past my leg at the tongue. 


Dr. Arslan: Ah, | see. Please continue. 


Agent Maglow: That's about it. | grabbed the 
tongue and burnt a path outta there from the 
area we already burned. That's what 
happened. 


Dr. Arslan: | see, thank you for that report, 
then. | have one question, though. How do you 
think that those tongues were so accurate in 
hitting you and your comrades? Was it the 
pressure on the ground, or something else? 


Agent Maglow: Well, at first | thought that was 
it. The pressure. But when | hit the ground, | 
saw something where the tongue was coming 
out. Something that | thought | saw in the other 
ones that hit Doug and Jonas too. 


Dr. Arslan: You saw something in the holes? 
Agent Maglow: Yeah. 
Dr. Arslan: Well, what was it? 


Agent Maglow: There were eyes. Lots and lots 
of eyes. Tiny little ones, all over. They were 
completely black, but | could see the light from 
the fire reflecting off them. They were all over 
the place. If you ask me, they were watching 
us the whole damn time. 


Both Agent Maglow and Dr. Arslan are silent 
for a few moments. 


Dr. Arslan: | see. Thank you very much for this 
interview, it's been quite informative.

SCP-3228: no6pute cTapu OHM 


Item #: SCP-3228 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3228 is currently housed 
in a standard humanoid containment cell at Humanoid Containment 
Site 06-3. Additional beds are also located near SCP-3228's 
containment cell to be used in testing. All testing of SCP-3228 is to 
be supervised by Dr. McCormick and, upon completion of testing, all 
subjects are to referred for full psychiatric evaluation in order to 
determine the extent of 3228's effects on the subject. 


Following Test 3228-06, testing has been suspended due to an 
Ongoing investigation into amnestic use, as authorised by O5-11. 


Description: SCP-3228 is a sentient humanoid entity measuring 
1.92 meters in height. SCP-3228 appears to be composed of a 
ceramic material, closely resembling archaeological finds found at 
Solnitsata!, Bulgaria. While SCP-3228 does not appear to have a 
metabolism, and is unable to eat, drink, perspire and perform other 
life functions, SCP-3228 is capable of movement and vocalisation. 
However, under normal circumstances, SCP-3228 refuses to 
communicate with any other individual or group, although has been 
known to converse with various Foundation researchers on some 
occasions. 


If one or more personnel enter REM sleep within a 20 meter 
proximity of SCP-3228, an 3228-A Event will occur, characterised by 
two phases. Initially, SCP-3228 will remain in a motionless state for 
approximately six to nine hours in a "sleep-like" state. Subsequently, 
SCP-3228 will instantaneously resume normal activities and all 
subjects will awake from REM sleep simultaneously. Examinations 
of subjects awakening from REM sleep have shown varying levels of 
restructuring of neurons within the temporal lobe and hippocampus. 
In all cases, this has resulted in immediate memory loss, dependant 


on the extent of the changes occurring within the brain. Attempts to 
restore memory to affected personnel have so far proved 
inconclusive. 


The second phase of a 3228-A event will typically occur within 30 
minutes of personnel awaking from REM sleep. This usually takes 
the form of an anomalous event, which some personnel under the 
influence of a 3228-A event describe as a "wish" being fulfilled (see 
Addendum #1 for examples of 3228-A events). 


Addendum #1: Testing Log 
+ SHOW PARTIAL TESTING LOG OF SCP-3228 


Test Number: 3228-01 

Subject: D-4339 

Observations: Approximately 20 minutes after 
subject awoke, a Caucasian female of 
approximately 40 years of age and two 
children of approximately 8 and 10 years of 
age appeared instantaneously around the bed 
previously occupied by D-4339. These were 
later identified as close relatives of D-4339, 
although subject was unable to recall 
numerous personal details about the 
individuals. Upon interrogation of these 
individuals, they all reported having a migraine 
shortly after D-4339 awoke from REM sleep 
and being transported instantaneously to 
D-4339's bedside. After testing negative for 
any anomalous traits, Class-B amnestics were 
administered to the family of D-4339 and 
escorted back to their home in [REDACTED]. 
The residency is currently under observation 
for any further anomalous activity. 


Test Number: 3228-02 
Subject: D-32109 
Observations: Subject was unable to recall 


numerous details about themselves and past 
activities. Within 5 minutes of awaking, subject 
complained of pains in their back. After two 
minutes, the skin ruptured violently in two slits 
either side of the spine, before two wings 
emerged from the site of injury. Subject was 
taken into medical care and is currently being 
held for further examination. 


Test Number: 3228-04 

Subject: D-12558 

Observations: Subject acquired substantial 
memory loss. Upon returning to his cell, 
Foundation watchdog algorithms noticed a 
total sum of $20,000,000 being distributed into 
various bank accounts belonging to relatives of 
D-12558. 

Additional Notes: The account used to 
transfer the money was registered to an 
individual Known as" ___". A subsequent raid 
on a property in Provadia, Bulgaria, registered 
to the same individual, resulted in the 
discovery of the following note: 


To The Foundation, 


If you are to find this, which you most likely will 
do, it's important that, whatever you're doing to 
these people you send to "test" me with, you 
need to stop whatever you're doing. | don't 
know what you've done, but you've opened up 
the holes inside their head that should never 
be tampered with. Their memories have been 
taken, but the spaces they've left haven't been 
sealed up. Something feels very wrong when 
I'm inside their dreams. Please, stop while you 
can. 


- The one you call SCP-3228 


Test Number: 3228-05 

Subject: D-22678 

Observations: Subject acquired near- 
complete memory loss. Researchers also 
reported that SCP-3228 appeared "physically 
drained" following the test. Approximately 12 
minutes after D-12558's awakening, SCP- 
breached containment, during which D-22678 
managed to escape Foundation custody. 
Attempts to locate D-22678 are currently 
Ongoing. 

Additional Notes: Following this, all D-Class 
to be tested on SCP-3228 are to undergo 
evaluation prior to testing in order to prevent 
using D-Class personnel that will result in 
similar events from occurring. 


Test Number: 3228-06 

Subject: D-6797 

Observations: The first stage of the 3228-A 
Event ended prematurely (only minutes in). 
Both SCP-3228 and D-6797 appeared startled 
and physically drained. The second phase of 
the 3228-A event never occurred. [FURTHER 
INFORMATION RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 4 
ACCESS AND ABOVE] 


Addendum #2: Recovery Log 

The Foundation was alerted to SCP-3228 after receiving numerous 
reports of anomalous events (later confirmed to be 3228-A events) 
throughout eastern France. However, SCP-3228 was only 
apprehended after Foundation surveillance recorded 3228 
attempting to enter a site formerly having ties to Gol-0267 ("Are We 
Cool Yet?"). 3228 initially refused to converse with Foundation 
personnel until Dr. McCormick eventually achieved an interview with 


SCP-3228. 
Interview Transcript3228-01 


Date: / /2017 
Interviewed: SCP-3228 
Interviewer: Dr. McCormick, with on standby 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. McCormick: Greetings, SCP-3228. We'd like to ask 
you a few questions if that's okay with you? 


[SCP-3228 nods.] 


Dr. McCormick: I'd like to start by asking what you know 
about where you are - do you know who we are? Why 
you're here? 


SCP-3228: ...My father once spoke about this place... 
Dr. McCormick: Could you care to elaborate? 


SCP-3228: He said it was a prison, a place things like us 
spend their days stripped of all freedom and forced to 
live in a disconsolate isolation from the world. And now - 
confined to these bare, lifeless walls - | see that much is 
true. Now, | have no other option to escape into dreams; 
above anything it only serves to keep me sane... 


Dr. McCormick: What exactly do you mean by 
"escaping" into dreams? 


SCP-3228: When people dream, they create entire 
worlds in their minds, worlds | can go to. Most people | 
meet are re-living the highlights of their lives and 
remembering the people they love. But some people... 
some have detestable fantasies; desires that conjure up 
cruel and twisted imagery. It's sickening, haunting... | 
need something to block out that pain. But | feel guilty for 


5. SCP-411's advanced age should be taken into consideration 
when interviewing him. Overlong sessions can leave SCP-411 
physically and mentally drained. 

6. SCP-411's overall memory is poor. For example, SCP-411 
often cannot recall what he will have for dinner later that 
evening. 


It is unknown when Dr. Lyetacker will join The Foundation but it has 
been decided that he is not to be actively sought. Upon his eventual 
recruitment, a data breach is to be staged and all information 
regarding SCP-411 is to be wiped to prevent ontological paradoxes 
regarding SCP-411's abilities.

taking away from the people who have kept my faith in 
humanity intact. You understand? 


[Dr. McCormick is instructed via earpiece to question 
3228 about the individual it calls "father"] 


Dr. McCormick: | see. You mentioned your "father" 
earlier and his knowledge of the Foundation. Can you tell 
me anything about him?
