SCP-1272-05 is the nongravitational singularity which resulted from 
mishandling of SCP-1272-01, 02, 03, and 04. At present, 
SCP-1272-05 involves Maintenance Corridor 2a of Site 53, the 
topological anomaly containment vault, and sealed portions of two 
control rooms abutting the corridor. Involvement of spatial 
dimensions is minimal, resulting in a 19-degree twist and 31 degree 
leftward deflection of Maintenance Corridor 2a. Involvement of 
timelike dimensions is extreme. In much of the affected corridor, 
subjective time is estimated to pass at a rate of 184 nanoseconds 
per external hour. The ratio of external to internal time at the 
anomaly's epicenter is presently unknown. 


SCP-1272-06 is a human male, age 27-35, first detected by CCTV 


slightly beyond the SCP-1272-01's containment vault door on 
12/17/2003. Appearance is inconsistent with agents or researchers 
known to be working at Site 53 at the time of initial containment 
breach; however, due to the uniform dark-blue coloration of features 
and clothing, resolving facial details has remained persistently 
difficult for observation staff. Since first detected, SCP-1272-06 has 
traveled four meters into the anomaly-affected hallway without 
apparent detection by containment teams proceeding toward the 
vault. On high-speed video, gait is consistent with a brisk walk. 


Per Dr. Collins, researchers should note that the subject's coloration 
appears to be the result of blueshift, not natural coloration. 
Presuming a logarithmic decrease in the rate of subjective time on 
approach to the singularity, SCP-1272-06 is presently exiting the 
vault at 41% of the speed of light. If SCP-1272-06 fails to decelerate 
or if containment teams dispatched before detection successfully 
realign SCP-1272-01, 02, 03, or 04, exit is predicted to occur on or 
before //  , resulting in massive thermal damage to Site 53 and 
surrounding populated areas.

SCP-1273: Stuck 


Item #: SCP-1273 
Object Class: Safe Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1273 is to be kept in 
Containment Locker #434 at Site 23 when not being actively used 
for testing with D-Class personnel. SCP-1273 is not to be connected 
to any electrical power source except for testing purposes. 
SCP-1273-A is to be treated as a non-hostile but potentially 
dangerous entity. 


SCP-1273-A remains indefinitely in Testing Chamber #741 and is to 
be monitored at all times. Personnel are forbidden from entering the 
chamber until further notice. No testing of anomalous objects is to 
take place in Test Hall-Delta as of 05/11/2014, and in the event of a 
containment breach, the hallway should be completely sealed off. 


Description: SCP-1273 is a brand children's nightlight. No 
materials comprising the structure of the object have been identified 
as individually anomalous. The object has been designed to 
resemble a stylized rabbit, and functions as a non-anomalous 
nightlight for the first thirty minutes of being connected to a working 
power source and turned on. At this point, SCP-1273's anomalous 
effects will activate and an entity, hereby designated SCP-1273-A, 
will manifest in the area containing SCP-1273. If the object is turned 
off or disconnected from the power source during the manifestation 
of its anomalous properties, the entity will demanifest until the next 
activation event. 


SCP-1273-A appears to be a Caucasian female humanoid entity of 
approximate teenage appearance. The entity refers to itself as 
"Abigail Lawrence," a citizen of the town of , where SCP-1273 
was initially discovered. Foundation investigation confirms that an 
individual bearing the same name and description of the entity 
formerly lived in the town, but was reported dead as of 03/09/2014. 


The aforementioned person's parents had discovered their 
deceased child in her room on the aformentioned date, along with 
SCP-1273 and several other anomalous objects whose function 
appears to be [REDACTED]. 


The entity is visually indistinguishable from a non-anomalous human 
subject; however, it is unable to make physical contact with anything 
that is not a boundary of the room currently housing SCP-1273. All 
other objects cannot be manipulated by the subject.! As such, 
SCP-1273-A cannot leave the room it manifests in. 


Upon manifestation, the subject typically appears to be distressed 
and attempts to remove SCP-1273 from its power source. Due to 
the entity's intangible nature, these actions are consistently futile. 


Interview Log-1273-Alpha: The following interview was taken upon 
initial manifestation of SCP-1273's anomalous effects by the 
presiding head researcher, Dr. Lloyd. 


Interviewed: SCP-1273-A 
Interviewer: Dr. Lloyd 


Foreword: This is the first recorded appearance of 
SCP-1273-A. 


<Begin Log> 


Lloyd: Hello, my name is Dr. Jason Lloyd. I'm going to 
ask you a few questions now, if you don't mind. 


SCP-1273-A: [too quiet to be understood] 
Lloyd: I'm sorry, what was that? 


SCP-1273-A: [turns to look at Dr. Lloyd. Subject appears 
distressed.] Can | go back? 


Lloyd: Go back where? [aside] Note that subject 
appears to be distressed 


SCP-1273-A: I-| was never supposed to come back 
here... [Subject begins to attempt to remove SCP-1273 
from its power source. The entity is apparently intangible, 
as it does not appear to be able to physically interact 
with the objects.] 


Lloyd: Please, calm down. We can help you, but you 
have to help us first. [holds out his hand as a gesture of 
peace] 


SCP-1273-A: [shakes head] Please don't touch me. You 
can't help me. | don't need help, just please let me go 
back. 


Lloyd: Go back where? 


SCP-1273-A: [Subject continues to attempt to remove 
SCP-1273 from its power source.] Away. The place | was 
before. It was so much better than this, just please, 
please, unplug this thing. 


Lloyd: SCP-1273-A, I'm going to need more information 
from you before we can release you. 


SCP-1273-A: [Subject ceases attempts to remove 
SCP-1273 from its power source.] And then | can go 
back? 


Lloyd: Yes. Then you can go back. 


SCP-1273-A: Okay... my name was Abigail Lawrence, | 
was 16 years old, and I'm from . 1... [don't really 
remember how | got into the light, but | know it's my 
home. 


Lloyd: "Was?" 


SCP-1273-A: Ah, well, as you can see, I'm not exactly... 
[entity waves hands through SCP-1273] 


Lloyd: Ah. | see. Are you completely positive you can't 
remember anything at all about how you got to be this 


way? 


SCP-1273-A: [looks away from Dr. Lloyd] \'m sorry, | 
really can't. 


Lloyd: | see. If you do remember anything, please don't 
hesitate to tell us. Now, what's your home like? 


SCP-1273-A: [smiles slightly] \t's amazing and bright and 
freeing, and... oh, please let me go back. Just for a bit. | 
can't stand it here any longer. 


[Dr. Lloyd confers with research team for approximately 
three minutes] 


Lloyd: Alright, SCP-1273-A, you can go for now. We'll 
see you soon enough. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Dr. Lloyd proceeded to turn off the 
object and remove it from its power source, causing 
SCP-1273-A to demanifest. 


Interview Log-1273-Beta: 
Interviewed: SCP-1273-A 
Interviewer: Dr. Lloyd 


Foreword: The following interview takes place one week 
after the events comprising Interview Log-1273-Alpha 
and mark the second activation of SCP-1273's 
anomalous state by the Foundation. 


<Begin Log> 
SCP-1273-A: [sighs] So soon? 


Lloyd: Hello SCP-1273-A. Do you recall any more 
details on the events that lead to you existing in your 


current state since our last interview? 
SCP-1273-A: I'm afraid not, Doctor. 


Lloyd: | see. Well, can you tell me more about the place 
you came from? 


SCP-1273-A: [looks around anxiously] I'm, um, afraid 
that's not allowed. 


Lloyd: Not allowed? Who isn't allowing this? 


SCP-1273-A: /averts eyes towards the ground] Please, 
put me back. 


Lloyd: Abi, please answer the question. 


[Subject does not respond. ] 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Subject remained unresponsive for 
the remainder of the interview. Following half an hour of 
unresponsiveness, Dr. Lloyd powered SCP-1273 down 
and unplugged it. 


Research Log-1273-Kappa: The following is a series of excerpted 
notes taken from Dr. Lloyd's experimentation notebook. All excerpts 
are from notes taken during a series of interviews with SCP-1273-A. 


...Will not tell us any more about this place. It's quite 
obvious she's lying about not remembering the process, 
but why is she hiding it? Researcher Garrison thinks... 


...fealized that we can encourage the information out of 
it by refusing to let it go back until it tells us. 


...the plane the entity comes from is apparently devoid of 
all physical matter completely. The entity is being slightly 
more cooperative, but is apparently trying to deliberately 

impede Foundation understanding of this area... 


Agent and Agent appear to be slowly earning 
SCP-1273-A's trust. Head researchers are to confer 
about how to possibly use this in conjunction with 
punishment in the future. 


Incident Report-1273-Mu-1: On 05/11/2014, during routine testing 
of SCP-1273's responsiveness to alternative power sources, the 
object's light bulb burned out. However, unlike a typical deactivation 
event, SCP-1273-A did not demanifest. The entity noticed this, 
became panicked, and started attempting to remove SCP-1273 from 
its power source. Personnel proceeded to accomplish this task, 
which did not cause the entity to demanifest. SCP-1273-A violently 
approached Agent and attempted to assault her3 while 
shouting at the subject+. Instead of passing through the agent as 
was expected, the entity's appendages appeared to become 
"trapped" in the subject's physical body. This caused further distress 
to SCP-1273-A, who vocalized more loudly and struggled to remove 
itself from Agent 's form. As the entity made increasing contact 
with the agent's body, SCP-1273-A appeared to be absorbed into it. 
After approximately three minutes, the entity was fully absorbed into 
Agent 's body. The agent appears to have died during this 
process. On site personnel reported a lack of respiration and pulse 
from , and tentatively declared her to be dead. Soon after, the 
chamber was cleared of all personnel and objects, save for the 
corpse of the subject, in order to monitor any possible anomalies 
resulting from this event. 


Incident Report-1273-Mu-2: After approximately three hours of 
observation, SCP-1273-A emerged from the corpse° and began 
attempting to strike the walls and doors of the chamber while 
shouting®. These actions persisted for approximately forty-five 
minutes, at which point SCP-1273-A moved to the center of the 
room and assumed a fetal position. The entity did not move from this 
position for four hours. It then stood up’and approached the corpse. 
SCP-1273 entered the corpse and attempted to partially animate it, 
resulting in erratic movements. The object flung itself at the door of 
the testing chamber repeatedly for approximately sixty minutes 
before SCP-1273-A emerged, returned to its position in the center of 
the room and began crying. The entity is to be continually monitored 
until further notice. 


Audio Log-1273-Sigma: The following excerpts are segments of 
audio taken from the testing chamber housing SCP-1273-A during 
Foundation monitoring. 


| didn't mean to kill her. 


You don't understand how it feels to be trapped. You 
don't understand the feeling of being restricted, because 
you've never known being free. Please, let me out. | can 
show you. 


| just want to go home.

SCP-1274: Dance Craze 


Item #: SCP-1274 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: News media and Internet video 
sites are to be scanned continuously for any of the keywords found 
in Addendum SCP-1274-1. Internet videos should be suppressed 
(as far as is possible) through copyright takedown requests from 
Sound Content Productions, a Foundation front corporation. These 
are to include key phrases which will bring them to the attention of 
agents placed within the hosting organization. News reports 
indicating outbreaks of SCP-1274 or its tertiary effects should be 
investigated in the guise of a quarantine action intended to prevent 
the spread of an aggressive form of viral meningitis. 


Any instances of SCP-1274-1 discovered in the course of an 
investigation are to be contained in individual windowless cells. 
Meals and standard hygiene facilities are to be provided. Any 
entertainment media without music may be offered upon request, at 
the discretion of the lead researcher. Interviews with SCP-1274-1 
instances are to be performed with physical restraints in place to 
prevent movement of the subject's arms and legs. Experimental 
treatments for tertiary effects of SCP-1274 may be administered with 
approval from the lead researcher and the Ethics Committee. 


Description: SCP-1274 is a proprioceptive memetic hazard in the 
form of a novel style of dance. It shows influences from various 
Caribbean dance styles and the American urban form known as 
"krumping". The dance is done in groups in a "follow the leader" 
fashion, with one dancer performing a series of moves which are 
then emulated by the other participants. The style is improvisational 
in some respects, but has a core repertoire of distinct movements 
which appear repeatedly. A specific sequence of of these 
movements appears to be the contagious agent. 


SCP-1274 is safe to observe, live or via recordings. Transmission 
only occurs when the key sequence of movements is performed by 
a subject (hereafter known as SCP-1274-1). Shortly after infection, 
subjects experience powerful euphoria and increased empathy with 
other dancers. Additionally, instances of SCP-1274-1 display the 
following cognitive changes: 


« Increased sexual receptiveness. 

* Greatly increased suggestibility. 

¢ Preference for consensus-based conflict resolution. 

¢ Reduced need for sleep (varies by individual, but some 
instances have shown no adverse effects from two hours of 
sleep nightly) 

* A marked preference for the color orange. 


Tertiary neurological effects begin to appear within 2-6 weeks of 
initial exposure, with speed of onset strongly correlated with the 
frequency of SCP-1274 performance. These include: 


¢ Chronic sleep-onset insomnia. 

¢ Progressive abnormal involuntary movement disorder, similar 
to Huntington's chorea but including movements from 
SCP-1274's repertoire. 

¢ Language pathologies, initially presenting as intermittent 
schizophasia and progressing to total aphasia combined with 
random utterances similar to glossolalia. 


Pharmaceutical interventions and physical therapies which have 
proven effective in the management of Huntington's Disease appear 
to have little effect on the progression of neurological symptoms. 
Amnestic drug therapy has shown some efficacy in eliminating the 
memetic component of SCP-1274, but appears ineffective once 
neurological symptoms have manifested.
