After debate, the proposal to graft skin from SCP-2790 onto all 
personnel has passed, citing the ability to be connected with 2790 
without being in contact and the smoothness, softness, and 
loveliness of his skin. Junior Researcher Romero collected a sample 
of skin from 2790 after horsing around with him. All Biotechnology 
labs in Site-54 have been directed to grow clone cultures of cute 
skin from Romero's samples. 


Addendum: 2790-3 

As of 3/14/ , 189 personnel have volunteered for grafting trials. 
Although 72 had to be rejected for health reasons, 117 personnel 
were selected to test the initial grafts by replacing the uglier, 
calloused skin on their hands with 2790's perfect, supple skin. 


Addendum: 2790-4 

As of 4/25/ , enough supple skin has been grown for the grafting 
procedures. All graft surgeries proceeded smoothly with no 
complications. The test subjects have been given 
immunosuppressant medications to minimize rejection of the perfect 
skin. 


Addendum: 2790-5 

As of 8/03/ , only 87% of test subjects had suffered complications 
from the grafting procedures, which were relatively minor: 
specifically, unexplained rejection of 2790's gorgeous skin and post- 
transplant infection. 70% of all personnel report the onset of tissue 
necrosis at the grafting site and the surrounding area, indicating that 
their bodies recognize the imperfection of their own skin and are 
removing them for 2790's skin. Additionally, 2790’s morale and site 


morale have increased dramatically. His breach rate has also 
decreased from 0 breaches per day to 0. Given the strong success 
rate of the preliminary tests, more skin is being produced and all 
personnel are being prepared to undergo the grafting procedure. 


Addendum: 2790-6 

As of 10/21/ , all personnel in Site-54 have undergone the grafting 
procedure to their hands. 2790's breach rate has decreased to an 
unprecedented 0 breaches per day and his morale has increased 
dramatically. All personnel report feeling closer and more connected 
to him, citing the ability to rub the entire body with SCP-2790's skin. 
To further reduce the breach rate, plans are being made to totally 
replace the rough, monstrous skin of all personnel with 2790’s 
gorgeous skin. 


NOTE: Site-54 has been quarantined at this time and is 
inaccessible. As the page for SCP-2790's documentation has been 
locked from Site-54, it has been retained to illustrate the necessity of 
all memetic, infohazardous, and cognitohazardous screening 
protocols when acquiring new SCPs despite the inconvenience 
posed by said protocols.

SCP-2791: Fauste Bank plc 


Schematic representation of SCP-2791 network. Each vertex 


represents a unique entity, and vertices are joined by an edge 
if linked by at least one oath. 


Item #: SCP-2791 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All staff employed at ITCD 
Bank who are responsible for the creation and maintenance of 
SCP-2791 — i.e. all past and current members of the Extraglobal 
Operations (EO) division of ITCD Bank plc — are free to exercise 
full discretion when interacting with SCP-2791. Foundation 
personnel are not to create, modify, remove, or otherwise affect 
components of the SCP-2791 system without express permission 
from Extraglobal Operations staff. Authorised Foundation personnel 
are, however, to encourage Extraglobal Operations staff to follow 
the mutually agreed terms of GARMR.1 


As per GARMR, Extraglobal Operations staff are considered to be 
held in open, advisory containment, retaining the permission right2 
to move freely to and from their original location of discovery. This 
location, the 24th floor of the building, has been designated 
the SCP-2791 Advisory Containment Site. The other 44 floors of the 

building are to remain in normal use. As per GARMR, the 
Foundation is to provide all services required for the functioning and 
comfort of the Extraglobal Operations division, including security, 
cleaning staff, catering, and [REDACTED]. 


Task Force Theta-8 (“Invisible Hand”) is to be stationed permanently 
at the Advisory Containment Site, with the mission objective of 
encouraging GARMR compliance among Extraglobal Operations 
staff.3 Task Force Theta-8 is prohibited from using explicit or implicit 
force when advocating GARMR compliance. 


Containment of SCP-2791 itself is nominal. Foundation policy 


regarding SCP-2791 is focused towards gradual de-escalation, as 
outlined in GARMR. As the many oaths of the SCP-2791 system 
successively reach their specified expiration dates, GARMR 
prescribes that they are not to be renewed or replaced with new 
oaths. Except in specific, named circumstances, GARMR 
recommends against the addition of any new oaths to the SCP-2791 
system. It is hoped that this will act to decrease the scale of the 
anomaly over the long term. 


Description: SCP-2791 is a network of anomalous processes 
created and maintained by the Extraglobal Operations division of 
ITCD Bank plc. 


Notable features of the network are summarised below. 


First, SCP-2791 utilises a wide variety of anomalous phenomena, 
with almost all major classes of continuous anomalous process 
featured. Classic deal-based anomalies such as thaumaturgical 
pacts, blood-magick contracts, and soul transactions are especially 
frequent, representing 86% of all SCP-2791 processes. For clarity of 
communication regarding such a high diversity of anomalies, 
SCP-2791 containment literature uses the general term “oath” to 
refer to any anomalous process of any type within SCP-2791. 


Second, SCP-2791 involves frequent use of a specific type of 
anomalous entity. In 98% of classic deal-based oaths, and 21% of 
all other oaths, entities belonging to a distinctive class of 
extradimensional reality benders are found acting as mediators or 
contracting parties. 


Entities of this class are channelled or summoned to this dimension 
using characteristic ritualistic procedures. Recurring elements of 
these rituals include chanted incantations, inscription of specific 
geometric patterns onto surfaces, use of flame, and sacrifice of 
biological organisms. Entities possess a humanoid body plan when 
manifested, but often display physical abnormalities+ and anatomical 
features from other mammalian species.° Entities exhibit intelligence 
and human language ability. 


These entities invariably offer their services as reality benders when 
summoned, proposing to generate or mediate anomalous effects 


that benefit the summoner. However, they will demand some form of 
variable personal cost in exchange: observed costs include four of 
the summoner’s fingers, complete destruction of all memories of the 
summoner’s name, and a period of unspecified “torment” for the 
summoner in a time-dilated pocket dimension upon their natural 
death. Entities will act in a highly self-interested, deceptive manner 
when forming deals. For instance, they will often attempt to 
formulate the conditions of the deal such that the summoner does 
not fully appreciate the cost they have committed to. 


Third, the overall result of SCP-2791 is to provide ITCD Bank and its 
employees with a number of favourable outcomes, particularly in 
financial activities. Each outcome is generated by a distinct 
subsystem of linked oaths within SCP-2791. Typically, the oath 
subsystems are constructed in a manner that mitigates any negative 
effects that would otherwise be incurred by the ultimate beneficiary. 
In the terminology of graph theory, these subsystems are 
overlapping subgraphs of the SCP-2791 multigraph.® 


Fourth, SCP-2791 is large. At the most recent census, SCP-2791 
comprised over 11,000,000 individual oaths involving over 40,000 
unique anomalous entities. 


Overview of GARMR: An executive summary of The General 
Agreement on the Regulation and Maintenance of Reality (2015, 
version 21) is provided below. The full text of the agreement can be 
found at Document 2791-A. Amendments to the original 2010 
version are highlighted.

1. In order to decrease the scale of the 
anomaly over the long term, the Foundation 
recommends in general that no new oaths are 
to be added to SCP-2791. Adding oaths may 
be justified in certain named circumstances; 
for instance, when necessary to prevent 
widespread loss of human life that would 
otherwise result from SCP-2791 effects, or if 
the addition of an oath will ultimately cause a 
decrease in total oath number. 


2. EO staff All employees and board members 
of ITCD Bank are not to use SCP-2791 to 
bestow upon themselves, or any other human, 
any anomalous augmentations. Especially 
discouraged are anomalous biological 
augmentations, including but not limited to 
extended lifespan, increased physical strength 
or agility, improved sensory perception, ability 
to generate fire, all forms of telepathy or “mind- 
reading’, ability to transform parts of the body 
into animal animal or plant non-human 
anatomy, and enlargement or duplication of 
organs. Board members and employees of 
ITCD Bank currently possessing such are to 
cooperate with the Foundation in having 
anomalous augmentations removed. EO staff 
are strongly discouraged from using SCP-2791 
to bestow any benefit, anomalous or 
otherwise, upon employees of the SCP 
Foundation, particularly those employees who 
are involved in the containment of SCP-2791. 


3. Certain anomalous entities in the SCP-2791 
network are consistently involved in oaths that 
the Foundation deems to be excessively 
hazardous to the maintenance of reality. EO 
staff are not to interact further with any 
SCP-2791 entity possessing a Foundation- 
assessed safety rating lower than “BBB-”. EO 
staff are not to use acceptably rated entities as 
intermediates or conduits to facilitate oaths 
with unsuitably rated entities. EO staff are not 
to formulate combinations of unsuitably rated 
entities whose emergent properties mimic the 
behaviour of acceptably rated entities. 


4. Oaths are not to generate persistent 
anomalous entities or phenomena in our home 
dimension. Oaths are not to further involve 
Foundation-named SCP objects, including but 


not limited to SCP-738, SCP-1521, and 
SCP-1442. 


5. Human beings, geographical places, and 
planets are not to be designated as collateral 
in any oath. 


6. Oaths are not to alter the fundamental 
nature of reality, which is defined as including 
parameters such as the values of physical 
constants, the direction of time, the geometry 
and number of dimensions in spaces, the age 
of the universe, and the size of the universe. 


Case study: The 11,000,000 oaths in SCP-2791 are arranged into 
approximately 800,000 subgroups. In most cases, each subgroup 
can be thought of as a "closed walk" of oaths within the overall 
system, which is designed to produce a specific resultant benefit to 
ITCD Bank, and which operates independently of other subgroups. 
Of the 800,000 subgroups in the SCP-2791 system, 104 have been 
classified by the Foundation. The complexity of each subgroup and 
of the overall SCP-2791 system renders understanding and 
containing the anomaly difficult. 


The subgraph of oaths designated SCP-2791-126101 is one of the 
few that the Foundation considers to be mostly understood. To 
provide an insight into the structure of oath subgraphs within 
SCP-2791, a description of SCP-2791-126101 is given below. 


Vv Show SCP-2791-126101 case study Vv 


1. First, the bank summons an entity named in 
Extraglobal Operations documentation as "Khr’zrgzh the 
Dreadlord". The bank enters into a standard blood- 
magick contract with the entity. The terms of the contract 
state that the beneficiary forfeits ten years of their life to 
the service of Khrzrgzh in exchange for a standard 
magickal boon — in this case, a curse placed on a rival's 
bloodline — upon completion of the period of service. To 
avoid a delay of ten years before the boon is received, 
and also to avoid surrendering a member of the 


2 instances are to be contained and returned to the nearest 
Foundation Site. 


« SCP-324 | SCP-325 | SCP-326 » 


company to the service of Khr’zrgzh, the bank formulates 
the following system of oaths. 


2. The bank summons the spirit of Freewater Homes, a 
Bermuda-based housing association and wholly owned 
subsidiary of the bank which had been empowered with 
limited thaumaturgical capabilities in a previous set of 
oaths. Freewater Homes acts as a supervising party in 
the creation of a spiritual paradimensional vessel (SPV), 
labelled here as Alpha. The bank extracts the soul of a 
homeless Bermudan woman and transfers the soul 
balance to Freewater Homes as payment for this 
operation. 


3. Spectral Walker K2, an extradimensional deity-like 
entity (EDLE) capable of travelling between dimensions 
within the local brane cluster, is channelled from 
Dimension 1A by Freewater Homes. Freewater Homes 
then arranges a fate pact between SPV Alpha and SW 
K2, causing SPV Alpha to tunnel instantaneously into 
Dimension 1A. 


4. SPV Alpha and SW K2 merge their life essences to 
form a single SPV Beta. SPV Beta utilises SW K2’s 
abilities to tunnel into Dimension 1B, a sister dimension 
of Dimension 1A, taking advantage of extempore-low 
sacrificial tariffs required for travel between sister 
dimensions. Notably, Dimension 1B is a metaphysical 
copy of Dimension 1A, and is identical in all ways to it 
except temporally, in that it operates exactly ten years 
prior to the relative time frame of both Dimension 1A and 
Dimension 0. 


5. SPV B then tunnels into Dimension 0 from Dimension 
1B. Because of the different temporal frame of the origin 
dimension, SPV B enters Dimension 0 ten years in the 
past relative to the formation of the deal with Khr’zrgzh. 
SPV B separates into SW K2 and SPV A, and both 
entities remain in Dimension 0 for ten years. 


6. In the contract with Khr’zrgzh the Dreadlord, the bank 


names SPV A as the beneficiary of the blood-magick 
oath. Both the original SPV A and the aged version of 
SPV A, labelled here as SPV A+19, are present in 
Dimension 0 when the contract is signed. Khr’zrgzh 
witnesses the ten years of time weathering on SPV A+10 
compared to SPV A, which forces Khr’zrgzh to deem the 
forfeit of ten years of life as completed.” The boon of the 
bloodline curse is granted, Khr’zrgzh demanifests, and 
SW K2 consumes SPV At+10 as payment for services 
rendered. 


History: In 1996, Prometheus Labs began construction on a long- 
planned experimental facility called the Superenergetic 
Thaumaturgy Collector (STC). Its intended function was to generate 
and analyse powerful thaumaturgical events, with the ultimate goal 
of devising a theoretical framework of physical laws to explain 
thaumaturgical phenomena. The facility was never completed due to 
[REDACTED] subsequent collapse of Prometheus Labs. 


Prior to the formation of SCP-2791, ITCD Bank had for many years 
maintained an interest in anomalous phenomena under a small but 
functional “Department of Psychical Concerns”, founded in 1897 by 
Peking branch manager and amateur occultist Edward Hillier. 
Increasingly regarded by the bank’s directors as an awkward 
historical relic, interest in Psychical Concerns was renewed following 
the department’s unexpected and profitable success in predicting 
the 1998 crash of the Russian ruble by tasseography.8
