SCP-2887: London Terminus 


Item #: SCP-2887 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Owing to the volume of traffic 
utilising the building of which SCP-2887 is part, the site cannot be 
closed in its entirety. Instead, containment is focused on controlling 
access to SCP-2887. The office unit including the sole known 
access to SCP-2887 has been acquired by the Foundation on 
permanent lease with the assistance of the British government, and 
functions as the centre for operations not requiring access to 
SCP-2887. Access to SCP-2887 is restricted to those deemed 
necessary for its containment. 


Biosafety precautions consistent with US BSL-4 are to be followed 
at all times when inside SCP-2887, including, but not limited to, an 
airtight double door, redundant air-filtration systems and use of full- 
body protective suits. The interior of SCP-2887 is to be monitored at 
all times by self-contained closed circuit television cameras. Monthly 
entries into SCP-2887 are to be made in order to recover data from 
and change the batteries of the cameras as part of a general 
inspection, with spent batteries being recharged within SCP-2887 for 
future use. No equipment or other objects are to be brought out of 
SCP-2887; all surveillance data is to be transferred wirelessly to 
storage media within team members' protective suits. Otherwise, no 
entry to SCP-2887-A is permitted without both direct authorisation 
from both the Head Researcher and the ADC liaison officer attached 
to the SCP object. Any person directly exposed to the interior of 
SCP-2887 must be subject to a quarantine period of at least 30 
days. 


Description: SCP-2887 is an underground chamber accessible 
through a door on a lower-floor service corridor of Charing Cross 
Station, located in London, UK. No other access points are believed 
to exist. SCP-2887 has the appearance of a generic British Rail 


terminus circa 1970, with trains entering and exiting through tunnels 
at the chamber's far end. Exploration by remote drones has 
indicated that the tunnels are of indeterminate length. The volume 
occupied by SCP-2887 is inconsistent with the location of tunnels, 
utilities and basements in the surrounding area. Lights, plug sockets 
and other electrical equipment within SCP-2887 are all fully 
functional. Platform display boards identify destinations via strings of 
numbers and letters (believed to be hexadecimal codes) and identify 
the service operators as ‘AWB’. This information is repeated by 
frequent loudspeaker announcements, apparently automated. 


Trains entering and exiting the station are consistent with various 
passenger models used on the British railway network from the early 
1970s to the present day. A driver is always present within a train; 
passengers are present in approximately 70% of incidences. When 
a train arrives at the station, its doors will not open’, and the train 
will depart about ten minutes later. Approximately 20 trains will 
arrive per hour. Any passengers observed will display advanced 
symptoms of serious diseases, including several classified as SCP 
objects. As the passengers are inaccessible only visual diagnoses 
can be made; however symptoms consistent with African 
trypanosomiasis, MERS, smallpox and SCP- _ are the most 
commonly observed. Both passengers and drivers will not 
acknowledge attempts of Foundation personnel to communicate2, 
although drivers may occasionally wave to personnel present within 
SCP-2887 or each other. Attempts to gain access to empty trains 
have been made; all have been unsuccessful, save for SCP-2887-A 
(See Incident SCP-2887-1) 


SCP-2887 was brought to Foundation attention in 1993 via Project 
ELISIONS. Containment was established following an initial 
exploratory mission by a Foundation containment team, with an 
ADC liaison in attendance. Under the terms of Project ELISION, 
containment of SCP-2887 is the sole responsibility of the 
Foundation; however, following Incident 2887-1, investigations are 
currently ongoing as to how ADC personnel became aware of the 
anomaly, and of any possible relationship with the organisation 
identifying itself as Anomalies Without Borders. 


Incident 2887-1 


On the train, the user became very quiet: surprising, as he was one 
of our most violent D-Class personnel. Agent Strahm continued 
testing and interviewing until the prisoner said softly, "Let me off this 
fucking train." Agent Strahm said that they could leave after a few 
more hours, at which point the user became insanely aggressive, 
and began jumping up and down, off the walls, and swinging on the 
bars and holders, while howling like a primate. Agent Strahm 
knocked him out with a blow to the head from his truncheon and 
handcuffed him to a pole. To assuage civilian fears, he held up a 
badge that said he was a U.S. Marshal and went back to his 
analysis. 


Physical analysis indicated that the prisoner had entered a REM 
sleep state after only three minutes, which is especially unusual in a 
subject who had been knocked unconscious. After the subject woke 
up, Agent Strahm made the decision to abort the experiment, and 
told the D-Class subject that he would help him get off the subway 
as soon as possible, if he cooperated. Holding him tightly, they 
attempted to leave, but were prevented from doing so by the crowd. 


Agent Strahm attempted to exit a second time at the next stop, 
taking the precaution of holding up his badge and ordering all 
passengers to remain in their seats. Nonetheless, he was prevented 
from exiting the vehicle by the crowd boarding the train. Agent 
Strahm reported that the prisoner was almost pulled away from him: 
he was unable to determine by what means, but claimed that "the 
hands that pulled him back didn't belong to any passengers." 
Fortunately, Agent Strahm had handcuffed himself to the subject, 
and was able to maintain contact with the D-Class personnel, 
although his attempt to exit the vehicle was unsuccessful. Now in a 
state of panic, the prisoner clung to the agent like a frightened child 
so tightly that Strahm had bruise marks on his chest and arms for 
days, and screamed several times that the handcuffs were "slipping 
off." In the chaos, Agent Strahm's badge was knocked out out his 
hand, and he sustained a blow to the side of the head. 


During the ride to the third stop, Agent Strahm, in a highly 
aggravated manner, interrogated the new passengers to find out 
who had hit him. No would give him any hint or clues, and many 
became hysterical at the merest question or touch. One woman 


On / /1996, a weekly inspection noted a train with its doors open. 
The train was boarded by the team, who found it empty, with the 
exception of a typed note pinned to the driver's door, a transcription 
of which is available below. Upon discovery, the driver's 
compartment was empty; a review of surveillance footage showed 
no signs of any exit from the train. The inspection team were 
subsequently placed in quarantine to protect against any potential 
contamination. Quarantine was relaxed after no signs of infection 
had occurred by 30 days after the incident. As a result of Incident 
2887-1, inspections have been changed to occur monthly instead of 
weekly. 


The train containing the note has been present on all subsequent 
inspections, and has been designated SCP-2887-A. It has been 
proposed that notes may be left within SCP-2887-A as a method of 
communication. Approval for such attempts is currently awaiting O5 
Council approval, pending further information on Gol-0188's 
involvement in SCP-2887. 


+ SCP-2887-1 Document Recovered 
General, 


When we signed the agreement, you promised 
us you would not interfere with our activities. 
With regard to your recent activity within 
London Terminus, we remind you that AWB 
have full autonomy to conduct operations 
within the leased space. As you are no doubt 
aware, your reality is unusually stable for its 
.78 scoring on the Brown-Miliband Anomalous 
Scale; thus, use of your space allows our 
organisation to provide relief to literally 
thousands of universes with a relatively low 
risk of monoversal destruction. Thank to your 
generosity, we were able to aid seven million 
individuals from over fifty realities in the last 
annum alone; we hope that with your 
continued support, we will be able to continue 
Our operations in future. | will also remind you 
that your co-operation thus far has granted you 


Priority Three status as per the contract; if you 
have any queries, please leave a reply in this 
unit and close the doors. 


Yours Sincerely, 
Dr Boyce, Anomalies Without Borders

SCP-2888: Again and Again and Again 


Item #: SCP-2888 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The former residence of 
Marshall Ford Everett, in addition to the 8.3-acre parcel of land on 
which it is located, is currently held by Rural Heritage LLC, a 
Foundation-owned land trust company. All structures located on the 
parcel are to be allowed to deteriorate in a manner consistent with 
abandoned property. As all personal effects and human remains 
have been removed from the premises, no interference with civilians 
or local authorities is deemed necessary. 


The remains of all recovered SCP-2888 instances are to be 
maintained in long-term storage in Minimum Security Morgue 2-A, 
located at Site-23. 


The Site-16 SIGINT Office is to continually monitor California 
Department of Public Health newborn screening program data for 
genetic markers consistent with SCP-2888 manifestations. Any 
resumption of suspected SCP-2888-related phenomena is to be 
reported immediately to the Research Director. 


Description: SCP-2888 is a phenomenon documented to have 
occurred between 15 December 1957 and 29 July 1978, in which 
infants genetically identical to an individual known as Mildred 
Reckart! were repeatedly born in hospitals in the Central California 
region of the United States. A total of 38 births occurred in 19 
separate facilities during this time, each to a different mother. 
Complete lack of evidence of invasive surgical procedures in 
subjects giving birth to SCP-2888 instances, combined with the 
rudimentary state of human cloning technology at the time, confirms 
SCP-2888 as an anomalous phenomenon. 


An investigation conducted in 1970, subsequent to a Site-16 


analytical review of missing persons cases in Northern and Central 
California concerning a group of individuals sharing very similar 
physical characteristics, identified a Sacramento-based construction 
firm owner named Marshall Ford Everett as being closely associated 
with this phenomenon. Examination of materials recovered after the 
detainment of Mr. Everett confirmed this relationship. While the 
mechanism by which SCP-2888 occurs remains unknown, research 
at the time, combined with witness statements and other collected 
evidence, indicated that Mr. Everett at least partially influenced the 
commencement of 38 births of specimens genetically identical to 
Ms. Reckart. 


Further investigation revealed that Mr. Everett was responsible for 
the original murder of Ms. Reckart in 1954, in addition to the 
confirmed homicides of 31 out of 38 documented SCP-2888 
instances over the next seventeen years. 


Agents clandestinely observing Mr. Everett as part of research 
efforts to ascertain possible methods behind the SCP-2888 
phenomenon documented the murder of Ms. Vivian Enfield, an 
SCP-2888 instance, by Mr. Everett on 17 June 1971. This event led 
researchers to establish and confirm Mr. Everett's role in the 
disappearances of other SCP-2888 instances since 1957. Following 
this event, Foundation assets were mobilized under the guise of a 
California Highway Patrol task force to raid Mr. Everett's rural 
residence in Locke, California, and place him in custody in order to 
prevent further violence. 


Three additional SCP-2888 instances were located in the Central 
California region over the next two years, and placed in containment 
at Site-16. In each case, SCP-2888 instances in containment 
manifested numerous chronic and severe health conditions 
beginning soon after the age of 222, and the last surviving specimen 
died in 1997 from complications related to a disorder similar to 
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. 


Mr. Everett proved uncooperative with Foundation researchers while 
in containment, providing personnel with copious amounts of what 
was later demonstrated to be unreliable information. Despite 
enhanced information-gathering protocols being authorized in 1983, 
Mr. Everett ultimately yielded little in the way of usable data 


regarding SCP-2888. Mr. Everett was euthanized by medical staff 
while in Foundation custody in 1985 after displaying sudden 
debilitating neurological impairments related to the appearance of 
several malignant brain tumors. 


Addendum 2888.1 - Notes on the Everett Residence 


FORM 870/B ESTABLISHMENT OF SECURE AREA - 
PREVIOUS SITE OF ANOMALOUS ACTIVITY 


Cross-Reference(s): SCP-2888 

Location: 38.2506° N, 121.5094° W 

Custodial Party: Mobile Task Force Beta-88 Subunit C 
Date of Establishment: 24 JUNE 1971 


Notes: MTF resources using California Highway Patrol 
uniforms and equipment secured the residence of Pol 
2888-A (Marshall Ford Everett) after that individual's 
entry into containment. Aside from the remains of eleven 
SCP-2888 instances, no anomalous items or 
phenomena were found. Human remains were removed 
from the premises, and all items within the residence 
catalogued and turned over to researchers. 


The Everett residence is a four-bedroom, two-story 
ranch-style house constructed in the early 20th century, 
located on a small parcel of land on the outskirts of 
Locke, California, United States. While the external 
appearance of the residence is typical of other structures 
in the immediate area, the interior has been heavily 
modified. Pol 2888-A is believed to have designed and 
built features in the residence himself due to his 
experience in the construction trade. Modifications 
include the following: 


¢ Additional insulation material in all exterior walls, 
believed to be for soundproofing purposes 
¢ Eight recessed alcoves in the walls of the upstairs 


guest bedroom, concealed by paneling resembling 
walls in the rest of the house, accessible by hidden 
latches. Seven of these alcoves were found by 
Foundation personnel to contain the embalmed 
remains of SCP-2888 instances 

A finished, windowless basement, accessible by a 
hidden door in the kitchen, containing four sets of 
police-issue manacles and an extensive drainage 
system. Basement was soundproofed using the 
same material as the exterior walls. No lighting 
system was present 

* Speakers installed in the basement, connected to 
a reel-to-reel playback device. Device was 
modified to play on continuous loop a 3-minute, 
48-second recording3. Device appears to have 
been left powered on at all times 

A room located in place of a previously existing 
downstairs bathroom, fitted with metal paneling on 
all four walls capable of being electrified through a 
modified fuse box 

A custom-designed incinerator located behind the 
residence
