Director C and DrR_ were both pronounced dead 
following the incident. Research into the origin of the 
memetic agent used by Dr R___ is ongoing. The symbols 
being carved into the Directors skin were consistent with 
those found on SCP-_ . Effects of inscribing them onto 
the skin of a living subject is unknown. Research 
Ongoing. 


Following this incident all subjects exposed to SCP-3600 
for tests, including those conducted as part of Project 
Theia, are to remain in Class 3 memetic quarantine until 
the nature of the knowledge granted to them can be 


confirmed to contain no memetic, infohazardous or 
cognitohazard dangers.

Project Theia 


Foreword 


Following the incidents involving Former Researcher Dr 
R_— and after analysing the data acquired from test 
subjects after exposure to SCP-3600, it has been 
decided by the O5 Council that the value of the 
information that can be extracted from 3600 far 
outweighs the risk associated with the process. 
To that end, Project Theia has been formed with the 
following goals: 


* To document individually each scenario of which 
exposure to SCP-3600 confers knowledge. 

¢ To map each scenario to its corresponding 
character or characters in SCP-3600. 

¢ To research the origins of SCP-3600 and 
SCP-3600-1 in an attempt to determine if more 
examples of SCP-3600 exist undiscovered. 


This will undoubtedly take time; conservative estimates 
based on the multiplicative nature of SCP-3600 exposure 
put the number of potential scenarios to be documented 
in the millions. By necessity, progress will be slow. But 
the information to be gained here may mean the 
difference between the continuation of human life and 
the extinction of everything we strive to protect.

Test Brief 


As documented in early test cases and Incident 3600-01, 
there are certain risks associated with SCP-3600 


exposure. In order to mitigate those risks, the following 
restrictions are placed on subjects being exposed to 
SCP-3600. 


Under no circumstances are test subjects to be 
exposed to more than 25 individual characters of 
SCP-3600, until such time as the risk of severe 
neurological trauma and significant psychological 
issues can be mitigated or avoided entirely. 

No test subject shall be exposed to more than one 
character of SCP-3600 per week, and not until all 
scenarios of which they currently have knowledge 
have been documented. 

Following the 10th exposure (and completion of 
subsequent documentation), test subjects may 
request to be transferred out of Project Theia. 
Those wishing to continue their participation in the 
project must submit to rigorous psychological 
analysis following each exposure to in order to 
screen for potential psychological issues that might 
arise as a result. Additionally, the time between 
each exposure is increased to a minimum of 2 
weeks. 

Should a test subject begin displaying any 
psychological changes as a result of SCP-3600 
exposure, or should they reach the allotted limit of 
25 exposures, they are to be transferred out of 
Project Theia following the completion of relevant 
documentation. 


These steps are intended to reduce the risk of 
neurological trauma to subjects, and to prevent any 
significant personality changes in subjects that might 
cause them to try and put their acquired knowledge to 
use. To that end, the following restrictions are 
additionally placed upon potential test subjects: 


The subject must have no history of significantly 
traumatic events, and must display no signs of 
depression, suicidal ideation, sociopathy, 


psychopathy, or any other psychological condition 
that might disqualify them from participation as 
determined by Project Theia psychologists. 

¢ The subject must possess a level of education no 
higher than that of a typical graduate of the 
American high school system. 

¢ The subject must score at least an 8.5 on the 
Reinmann-Klashkoff Emotional Stability Test. 

¢ Foundation personnel are automatically 
disqualified at this time. 


Due to the obvious limitations imposed by these 
restrictions on the number of viable candidates to be 
found within the D-Class personnel pool, proposals for 
subjects from alternate sources are currently being 
considered. 


Progress Report 


As of / /201 , individual exposure of 2.7% of the 
characters on SCP-3600-1 has been completed. When 
factoring in Compound Scenarios,° Project Theia has 
documented over 5,000 potential K-Class scenarios. In 
addition, information provided by Project Theia has 
resulted in the containment of SCP objects, and the 
development of new pieces of technology currently 
being tested for potential defensive use. 


Further access restricted. For full access to Project 
Theia documentation, please contact your Site

+ SCP-3600-2 Recovery Log 


To date, the construction of 3 instances of SCP-3600-2 
have been documented. 


SCP-3600-2-A: Recovered / /200 

Design Notes: Four identical devices in similar stages of 
construction designed to accept large amounts of input 
material, connected to large chimney structures, and one 


Security Guard: (indecipherable comment) 
Agent Foster: Are you in control of the... that. 
(Agent Foster motions to SCP-466 laying on 
the floor) 

Patient: (blink, blink) 


Agent Foster: Do you know why it wants to 
separate from you? 


Patient: (there is a long pause followed by a 
single blink) 


Agent Foster: Do you want to be separated? 
Patient: (rapid blinking) 
(security guard raises weapon at patient) 


Agent Foster: Ok, ok, calm down. Ease off 
the trigger. No harm is done. 


Patient: (expression changes to being 
frightened) 


Agent Foster: | take it separation should not 
happen? 


Patient: (blink, blink) 


Agent Foster: The heart. You think it's evil, 
perhaps? 


Patient: (b/ink) 


Agent Foster: But while it's connected to you 
still, it can't... what exactly? 


Patient: (patient mouths the word ‘become’ 


Security Guard: Begone? 


device superficially resembling a jet engine oriented with 
its exhaust pointed upwards. 

Functionality: The four devices with chimneys, through 
an anomalous process currently under investigation, are 
able to break down input material and convert it into a 
currently unidentified gaseous substance which is then 
vented into the atmosphere. The turbine-like device 
appears to be some form of plasma generator designed 
to fire a continuous stream of plasma into the 
atmosphere. It is theorised that activating the turbine 
would cause significant damage to itself and the 
surrounding area, meaning its operation time would be 
short. 

Notes: Testing of the gaseous substance revealed it to 
be highly explosive when exposed to high-energy 
plasma particles, though it showed no reaction when in 
contact with flame or electrical charges. It is theorised 
that if enough of the gas was pumped into the 
atmosphere® the plasma from the turbine would be 
sufficient to cause a chain reaction, functionally igniting 
the atmosphere of the planet and resulting in an XK- 
Class end-of-the-world scenario. 

Current Status: Disassembled. Parts stored in the 
Secure Containment Vault at Site- pending further 
analysis of anomalous properties. 


SCP-3600-2-B: Constructed in Foundation custody. 
Design Notes: 12 interlocking rings assembled in an 8- 
meter diameter spherical formation, connected to a 
mechanical system designed to allow each ring to rotate 
freely on each axis. A number of similar electronic 
components attached at various points around each ring. 
Functionality: Based on the design and description of 
intended effect, this is an apparent attempt to recreate 
SCP-319. 

Notes: Construction and subsequent deactivation of this 
device would have resulted in a ZK-Class reality failure 
scenario, assuming it functioned as intended. Of note is 
that D-3453-9 made no mention of the anomalous 
mineral samples found in SCP-319 at any point during 


construction. 
Status: Disassembled. Parts sent to Site-319 for 
analysis. 


SCP-3600-2-C: Recovered / /201 

Design Notes: A highly complex device combining a 
variety of purely theoretical and previously unknown 
technologies. Operation and functionality impossible to 
determine from visual analysis alone. 

Functionality: Apparently designed to neutralise, invert, 
or otherwise interfere with the force of gravity on a per- 
atom basis throughout local space, to an estimated 
range of 1.6AU. 

Notes: All knowledge on the functionality of 
SCP-3600-2-C was gained from logs and documents 
recovered from the scene. Unable to theorise on the 
exact results of activating the device, though it would 
almost certainly end in a CK-Class restructuring of reality 
in which the Earth and the Sun no longer exist as 
physical objects. Of particular concern is that the device 
was apparently complete at the time of recovery, with the 
exception of an empty slot obviously designed to contain 
SCP- 

Status: Disassembled piece by piece and documented 
over the course of 2 years. Each piece individually 
destroyed. 


Footnotes 

1. While these devices are not afforded an SCP designation, they 
should be contained and then dismantled appropriately. 

2. Cause of death determined to be severe and extensive 
neurological damage. 

3. See Recovery Log entry SCP-3600-2-A for details. 

4. See Recovery Log entry SCP-3600-2-C for details. 

5. Project Theia designation for knowledge of scenarios that result 
from exposure to combinations of SCP-3600 characters. 

6. Current estimates show that all 4 devices running for 
approximately 13 days at maximum output would create a sufficient 
amount of the gas 


SCP-3601: A Cautionary Tale 


An example of a document preserved after an SCP-3601-related 
reality restructuring event. 


Item #: SCP-3601 
Object Class: Keter Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: As of 01/05/2016, after 
SCP-3601 failed to go through an 3601 -event for two consecutive 
cycles, SCP-3601 is considered neutralized. 


In January of each even-numbered year, automatic monitoring of the 
internet for any SCP-3601-related advertising should take place. 
MTF-Alpha-—4 (“Pony Express’) is to intercept any mail or packages 
addressed to Nueva Hermosillo Public Library, 3600 Central Ave, 
Nueva Hermosillo, New Mexico. 


Archived Special Containment Procedures: (void as of 
01/05/2016) 

From January to March of each even-numbered year, during 
SCP-3601 active phases, MTF-Alpha-4 should be dispensed to 
intercept all mail sent to Nueva Hermosillo Public Library, 3600 
Central Ave, Nueva Hermosillo, New Mexico. 


Selected Foundation personnel with writing experience, particularly 
in historical or creative writing, are required to send in entries in 
response to one of the approved prompts (see Addendum 3601-1). 
As there is no way to prevent SCP-3601 events, efforts should be 
focused on reduction and mitigation. Submitted entries should focus 
on maintaining a similar history while upholding quality of writing. 
Changes made should be purely cosmetic or inconsequential, and 
history described ought to adhere to known history as closely as 
possible. 


Overnight on the last night of February of each even year, resources 


should focus on preservation of Foundation documents. Scranton 
Reality Anchors and any other future ontological stability technology 
should be activated around any file or record storage. Standard 
reality stability procedures for essential personnel should also be 
implemented on this date. 


Description: (considered void as of 01/05/2016) 

SCP-3601 is an anomalous creative writing contest. Every two years 
on January 1st, advertisements, most found online in creative writing 
communities, will be released. These call for entries into an 
“Alternate History Writing Contest,” promising prizes in varying 
amounts of US dollars. The theme of the contest is always “United 
States History, Post 1970” and the advertisements will always imply 
or advertise the “grand opening” or first year of the competition. 


Participants are asked to mail their entries to a public library in 
Nueva Hermosillo, a New Mexico city which had not been found to 
exist. Tracking of letters sent has given no conclusive results. 
However, it has been proven possible to intercept the letters. 


The deadline for entry is always listed as March 1st. On the last 
night of February of each year when the contest is held, a CK-class 
reality restructuring event will occur. Changes as described in the 
winning entry will become reality. These changes are not fully 
comprehensive, and will leave traces of the original past, which 
include printed documents, files, photos, and art pieces. SRAs and 
similar technology have been useful in preserving documents. 
Those who submit winning entries will generally have a sense that 
history is incorrect. In two separate instances, winners retained full 
memories of the histories they erased. 


A website, labelled “Nueva Hermosillo Public Library,”’ will be 
created. The site will always appear on 12:07 PM MST, January 1st. 
During competition, it will display the theme of the contest and the 
address to which entries are sent. At the conclusion of the 
competition, it will announce the winners, and promise to post the 
winning entry. Afterwards, it will be taken down at 8:32 PM, with no 
entries posted. 


No clear pattern is known to the choice of winners, but based on 
previous winners, it is presumed that winners are chosen based on 


quality of writing rather than the exact nature of the changes they 
describe.
