Outcome: SCP-2599 is able to fully restore function in 
one leg, but is unable to do so for the other. SCP-2599 
describes this process as excruciating. 


Given Command: SCP-2599 is ordered to be happier. 
Outcome: SCP-2599 experiences enhanced dopamine 
and serotonin levels for approximately 10 seconds; these 
levels then drop to lower than their original values. 


Given Command: SCP-2599 is ordered to kill 
D-1248901. D-1248901 is immediately shot in the head. 
Outcome: SCP-2599 places its hands on D-1248901's 
head. The head wound immediately begins to heal. 
D-1248901 is in a permanent vegetative state following 
the incident. 


Interview Log 2599-1: The following was conducted by Dr. Albert 
Wensley. 


Dr. Wensley: Good morning, SCP-2599. How are you 
doing today? 


SCP-2599: Can you call me by my real name, please? 


Dr. Wensley: I'm afraid not. It's an operational 
procedure. 


SCP-2599: O-oh. Okay. | guess that I'm doing okay. 
When do | go home, again? 


Dr. Wensley: When we're done making sure that you're 
absolutely healthy. | have some questions for you. 


SCP-2599: Sure, if it gets me home more quickly. | miss 
my parents. 


Dr. Wensley: Of course. We're doing our best to get you 
home. The first question that | have is, when did your 
special abilities manifest? 


SCP-2599: What does "manifest" mean? 


Dr. Wensley: When did your special abilities appear or 
first show? 


SCP-2599: It was only a few weeks before | got here. 
Mom told me to clean up my room. She— (SCP-2599 
becomes agitated) Sorry. | miss her. | haven't talked to 
anybody else since | got here, and I'm really lonely all the 
time and— sorry. You probably don't care. Anyways, 
Mom told me to clean my room. And | was okay with it, 
but | just couldn't do it. 


Dr. Wensley: You couldn't finish, or you couldn't start? 


SCP-2599: No, | started. | got mostly done, but then | 
just couldn't make myself do the rest. | wasn't even being 
lazy or anything, which my Mom accused me of. | just 
couldn't do it. She got really mad, and then she yelled at 
me to go to my room. | got halfway, and | couldn't do it. 


Dr. Wensley: And this eventually led to the state in 
which we found you? 


SCP-2599: Yeah... Dad took me to a doctor, and | guess 
that's why they sent me to this hospital. 


Dr. Wensley: Can | ask you to do something? 
(SCP-2599 flinches) 

Dr. Wensley: It's not an order. It's only a suggestion. 
SCP-2599: Okay. This isn't going to hurt, right? 

Dr. Wensley: No, of course not. 


SCP-2599: Okay. | guess that's okay then. 


Dr. Wensley: | would enjoy it if you cleaned up and 
stacked these papers on the table. 


(SCP-2599 stacks all but 2 of the papers on the table.) 


SCP-2599: |... | can't do it! You didn't order me, and | 
still can't do it! 


Dr. Wensley: | see. Thank you for your time, SCP-2599. 


SCP-2599: Wait! | can't clean these up! Dr. Wensley, am 
(SCP-2599 becomes agitated) am | gonna be okay? 


Dr. Wensley: (Pauses) Yes. Yes, of course you are, 
SCP-2599. We just need to do some more tests to get 
you better. 


Notes: | believe that SCP-2599 is a unique case of a reality bender. 
It has been demonstrated that SCP-2599 can perform many 
anomalous feats, and can, under certain orders, change aspects of 
reality, while breaking the laws of physics. | think that it's a specific 
type of reality bender that can only perform its feats under orders. 
Recommending greater monitoring to prevent SCP-2599 from 
possibly progressing to the stage where it can change reality without 
orders. I'm also recommending that testing be ceased, since we 
don't know what could change its properties. -Dr. Wensley 


Document 2599-Beta: During one incident of testing, SCP-2599 
was given a command that consisted of a paradox: "Do not lie when 
repeating these sentences: 'The following sentence is true. The 
previous sentence is false.' " Immediately following this event, 
SCP-2599 ceased all visible movement. Micro-changes in reality, 
beginning in an area immediately surrounding SCP-2599 and 
radiating outwards from its position, caused small shifts in the 
structure and nature of reality. These changes consisted of raising 
the temperature several degrees, spontaneously generating several 
members of the Oryctolagus cuniculus (common rabbit) species, 
producing a reassuring voice speaking in Korean, and converting 
the floor of the testing chamber into a cotton down blanket. This 
effect spread until Dr. Wensley ordered SCP-2599 to fall asleep for 
8 hours.

SCP-292: Egg Timer of Déja Vu 


Item #: SCP-292 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-292 is to be kept at 
Site-72, in a guarded room in a locked, padded container set up to 
avoid movement of or damage to SCP-292. Access to SCP-292 is 
prohibited without Level-3 authorization. Site personnel must report 
all incidents of déja vu or related symptoms to Site Administration. 


Description: SCP-292 is a sixty-second brass hourglass, 10 cm tall. 
When all its sand is at the bottom and SCP-292 is flipped over, only 
two outcomes have ever been observed: either the sand runs out 
normally after one minute, or SCP-292 is knocked over on its side. 
(If SCP-292 is knocked over, anomalous properties do not again 
manifest until all the sand in SCP-292 is in one bulb.) At no time has 
SCP-292 ever been observed to be flipped over a second time 
within sixty seconds, except when knocked over as above. 


Any time SCP-292 is upright and all its sand is in its bottom bulb, 
and a subject attempts to flip SCP-292 over with the intent to flip it 
again before all its sand runs out, the subject and people nearby 
suddenly experience déja vu. The intensity of déja vu is inversely 
proportional to a person’s distance from SCP-292; the subject is 
often momentarily stunned by the experience. Persons experiencing 
déja vu from the same event often describe similar “recalled” 
experiences. 


It is believed that when SCP-292 is flipped over, a process is started 
in which, if SCP-292 is flipped again before its sands run out, time 
flows in reverse to a point a couple of seconds before SCP-292 was 
initially flipped. Time then flows forward again as if SCP-292 were 
never flipped; déja vu would thus be a side effect of this process. 


Prolonged exposure to SCP-292 can cause nausea, migraines, 


SCP-2600: The Empty Box 


Item #: SCP-2600 
Object Class: Euclid 


Containment Attempt Summary: During SCP-2600's containment 
operations, non-functional and other non-essential test materials 
were cataloged by the engineers of Mobile Task Force Delta-43, 
"Quarter Junkies". SCP-2600 is currently contained within 
Site-77. 


All personnel assigned to work with SCP-2600 are to be rotated 
every three weeks, with regular psychiatric evaluations to ensure 
they are not being affected by SCP-2600. Any physical interaction is 
to be done by robotic drones. 


Description: SCP-2600 designates a set of 8 CRT! television sets 
connected to one Atari Video Computer System? via a black cable 
coming out of the cartridge slot. All external ports have been 
covered, and the copyright information on the bottom of the unit has 
been replaced with a label reading "MK-PRO-8-POL". 


Images such as graphical errors, raw footage dating from the 
Vietnam war, video shot from a view through a tank periscope, 
graphical images resembling those found in SCP-1881 and 
SCP-1070 and non-anomalous game graphics have been 
documented on SCP-2600. The primary image displayed on 
SCP-2600's screens are several human faces, with varying levels of 
detail and clarity: 


¢ Three adolescent subjects, two female and one male 
resembling youths who were reported as missing during the 
year 1981 in the Portland, Oregon region of the United States. 

* One unidentified adult subject. Interference with the signal 
obscures the face, leaving a white silhouette, although the hair 
and ears come in clearly. 


¢ A male identified as , a former agent of the KGB who 
worked within the United States, reported MIA by the Soviet 
Union in 1991. 

¢ Two adult human subjects, female, who constantly mouth the 
words "Setting sail ships us free" and "The Kit Case jumped 
over the lazy Bolshy". 


If a subject comes into physical contact with any portion of 
SCP-2600, they will soontaneously generate Lysergic acid 
diethylamide in their oral cavity, usually resulting in hallucinogenic 
effects. Adjusting the switches present on the console portion of 
SCP-2600 controls the emotional state of the affected subject, as 
well as adjusting their responsiveness to performing commands. 
Tested subjects usually display sudden anger, aggression, 
confusion, sadness, apathy, and submission. This direct effect has 
been noted to last between 20 minutes to 4 hours, after which 
subjects will return to their normal behaviors. See Addendum 


History: The anomaly currently designated as SCP-2600 was first 
brought to Foundation attention through Atari internal documentation 
leaks in May of 1981. These leaks indicated that a war simulation 
project contracted by the US Army had exceeded its original scope, 
and the development team was now being led by the Central 
Intelligence Agency. One subject, , was noted as having 
dramatic behavioral changes after being recruited by the CIA. Efforts 
to recover SCP-2600 were redoubled at this point. 


Recovered documents indicate that CIA experiments showed 
SCP-2600 was capable of affecting at least 200 subjects at once, 
and that it was possible to induce affected individuals to work 
together in completing tasks without being aware of their 
cooperation. 


By the end of 1982, efforts to prevent the anomaly from being 
utilized by the United States had failed, resulting in the initial 
creation of SCP-2600. However, the project was abandoned due to 
unknown difficulties resulting in it being transferred to the Unusual 
Incidents Unit. Foundation agents were able to recover SCP-2600 
from them on 01/14/1983. 


As financial difficulties had bankrupted Atari at this time, Foundation 


personnel were able to confiscate all of their materials relating to 
SCP-2600. Personnel involved in the development of SCP-2600 
remain under observation, particularly those involved with the 
Central Intelligence Agency and the Unusual Incidents Unit. 


Addendum 2600-A-I: Analysis of Site-77 has shown that, over the 
past 11 months since SCP-2600 was contained and classified, 
several unusual trends have emerged. These include: 


« Above average number of volunteers for research and 

analysis of SCP-2600 surveillance records and 

communications testing. 

Electric usage for the Site-77 containment facilities being 

abnormally high. This has been attributed to research staff 

leaving the lights on at all hours of the day. 

* Level 3 personnel approving above-average numbers of 
research grants for projects relating to SCP-2600. 

¢ D-Class personnel not needing instruction in regards to being 
tested with SCP-2600's anomalous effect. 


An unknown number of Site-77 personnel have been determined to 
have been maliciously affected by a previously unknown aspect of 
SCP-2600. Immediate rotation of the containment staff has been 
carried out by the Overseer Council, and all affected personnel will 
be given Class-B amnestic treatments. 


Addendum 2600-C: Documentation recovered from the initial 
creation of SCP-2600. 


STELLA Project proposed by the Agency as a 
successor project to M- __, due to the new materials 
discovered which could overcome the faults found in the 
original process of implementing and sustaining 
controlling people's minds. Persons who were relieved of 
duty following the conclusion of the project have been 
contacted by the Agency in order to resume some form 
of their previous work. Work has been contracted out to 
universities, research foundations, and computer 
companies, including the Atari Inc. corporation. Their 
cooperation has proved promising due to the presence of 
their technology and contract to work with the military. In 


addition, at least 80 former employees of this company 
have signed on to participate as dual personnel. 


Materials discovered from rendezvous with US Bureau of 
Investigation. 


The Arcadia effect: The human mind's ability to heavily 
influence the perceptions of other minds, once liberated 
from the task of controlling a body. The effect appears to 
be entirely contained to the mind, and all outside stimuli 
does nothing to inhibit the effect. This includes usage of 
the experimental Tele Echo Chamber Dev 
Notably, Agents are to note that thoughts of apathy, 
experiencing tinnitus, and minor rashes appearing 
around the temples are normal side effects of exposure 
to the Arcadia Effect. In addition, there have been 
reports of vivid hallucinations of "broken, sweaty pimply 
skin bumping up and down on a bus, with the shredded 
rubbery not-rubber wheels and some boy's mother on 
the top". The specificity of this vision has been consistent 
among those experiencing it, and have been found to be 
mildly troubling to Agents with a Psionic Resistance 
Index below 45.0. These Agents are not permitted to 

in _ with the object and its surrounding equipment and 
related phenomenon, including the Dabney-Syzygy 
Inhibitor. 


Test Subjects: In order to experiment with the Arcadia 
Effect, subjects must be completely liberated from their 
old methods and abilities regarding thought and logic. To 
do so, the brain needs to focus on tasks other than 
biological responses. As such, the portions of the body 
which detract from the processing power must be 
removed, and the pure core placed in an electrostatic 
Dabney-Syzygy Inhibitor, which displays a workable test 
subject on-screen. 


Recently, research into the technology has come to an 
end. As Doctor Dabney reports "We have sufficiently 
liberated subjects from their old methods of thinking and 
perceiving, to a programmable degree!" Subjects are 


communicating with site staff, and appear to have 
improved their attitude following con ition 


No further action is necessary with uncooperative 
subjects. 


All testing has been moved to Facility 18, due to its 
secretive location. 


Testing has been increasingly successful over the past 
01 years with subjects being able to recreate 
complicated war game scenarios based on the 
programming information provided by technical officers. 
In addition, subjects are able to control the mindsets of 
anybody participating in the simulation, which has been 
proven to be very important for controlling project 
directors such as Rothburg, who's continued loyalty is 
critical. When asked to describe what they could sa ,

. But that doesn't explain 
how a 19 old kid was able to have resistance to coercion 
and mind control techniques which were successful even 
with his counterparts. STELLA is to be disconnected 
from its computer simulation systems until we are fully 
able to comprehend the alterations it has made to staff 
which have interacted with it. If affected them beyond the 
simulation, then it's possible that many of our systems 
may be compromised. A full audit is underwayyy%%
