throughout SCP-2541. It was also established 
that areas previously outside of SCP-2541 that 
were impacted by SCP-2541-A's projectiles 
had a >1 meter radius of terrain resembling 
that of SCP-2541. 


Thaw Season 


Season: Thaw Season 

Summary: During the two weeks following the 
Midwinter season, remaining airborne particles 
settled along the surface of SCP-2541, and 
regular surveillance was re-established. The 
deposited particles were recorded gradually 
solidifying into the shale surface seen in 
previous seasons. Surveillance units 
discovered a set of worn blankets near an area 
of SCP-2541 with particularly rugged terrain. 
The articles were brought to the facility for 
analysis. Initially believed to be debris from 
settlements near SCP-2541, microscopic 
analysis showed a lack of mineral particles 
inconsistent with other similar garments found 
in affected settlements. 


Researcher Notes: Despite the frequent 
dispatch of surveillance units, this period was 
significantly more idle than the rest. The rest of 
the team spent more of this period in 
recreational activities, with a small group of 
researchers finding a passion in creating 
artwork of SCP-2541. The discovery of the 
garments in SCP-2541 came as the only event 
of major significance during this period, and it 
reinforced the team's beliefs that SCP-2541 
was inhabited by an unidentified human. 


Early Spring 


Season: Early Spring 
Summary: Temperature increased to about 20 


degrees Celsius. A slight gust of wind (approx. 
4-5 km/h) blew large amounts of unidentified 
particles, which settled on the surface of 
SCP-2541 5 minutes after the gust. 
Approximately an hour after the initial gust, 
surveillance recorded video of the entire 
surface of SCP-2541 "blooming" into an array 
of flower-shaped growths of sapphire, ruby, 
citrine, emerald, and pink quartz. Personnel 
reported picking up sounds of faint buzzing 
shortly after the event. 


Instances of creatures composed of fossilized 
sap and resinous material resembling Apis 
mellifera(North European Dark Bee) and 
Anthocharis cardamines(Orange Tip Butterfly) 
were observed using elongated crystal 
filaments to chip away small pieces of the 
growths, presumably for consumption. 
Instances of these creatures were found to 
actively compete for dominance over these 
growths. 


The avian creatures recorded in the Autumnal 
period of the study were found to have 
returned to SCP-2541 sometime around the 
second week of early spring. The creatures 
were observed attacking instances of insects 
and feeding them to smaller instances of the 
avian creatures, presumed to be the offspring 
of the other specimens. 


Researcher Notes: First and foremost, the 
first week of this period was perhaps our 
favorite part of the entire study. We witnessed, 
after the many months of harsh conditions in 
SCP-2541, the sudden explosion of color 
throughout SCP-2541. The crystal growths 
were reflective, and possessed remarkable 
clarity as seen through surveillance. In 


various anomalous objects and persons in the resulting 
attack. 


6/15/2016: Cornered by five Unit Agents in 
[CLASSIFIED], Nevada. Almost arrested before four of 
the five Agents were killed by a_ controlled, 
Thaumatological blast of lighting coming from another 
entity with the suspect.S The suspect and the entity 
escaped through a Way. 


At this time, The Bureau considered making the suspect 
a Number One priority case on the West coast. 


8/22/2016: After two months of silence, the suspect was 
encountered with fifteen Serpent Hands agent while 
breaking into a Unit controlled warehouse. Around 30% 
of the contents within the warehouse was stolen before 
Unit Agents were able to interfere with the operation. The 
operatives engaged in combat with the Agents before 
being subdued by the operatives. The Agents were then 
locked inside of the warehouse, with the suspect setting 
fire to the building. There were no surviving Agents. 


9/1/2016: Suspect was pulled over for speeding. When 
the officer discovered the suspect's criminal nature, she 
attempted to arrest him. The suspect attacked and killed 
the officer. 


The Bureau officially declares the suspect as a Number 
one threat to national security on the West Coast. 


9/12/2016: Suspect is involved in an arms deal between 
the Serpents Hand and a currently unidentified third 
party.© Interrupted by Unit Agents, ending in the murder 
of fifteen Agents, all by the suspect. 


10/2/2016: The suspect is arrested after a failed break 
inside of a Unit controlled warehouse, similar to the 
break in on 8/22/2016, of which the suspect was also a 
part of. However, in response to the theft, the Bureau 
increases security measures in anomalous storage 


addition, the newly observed creatures within 
SCP-2541 gave us a further understanding of 
the nature of SCP-2541; SCP-2541 is an 
entirely self-sustained environment, with each 
creature having a role in the environment. In 
addition, certain members of the team have 
suggested that the origin of SCP-2541 may 
have been for either monetary or aesthetic 
purposes. 


We documented each of the new creatures 
and growths observed. The possibility of 
reproduction in the creatures was brought up, 
particularly in regard to the avian creatures, 
however more evidence is required before we 
establish this as a fact. In regards as to 
whether there is indeed a human presence 
within SCP-2541, no sufficient evidence has 
been found. 


Late Spring-Summer 


Season: Late Spring-Summer 

Summary: Temperature increased to 27 
degrees Celsius. Large growths of granite 
resembling coniferous trees began to form in 
the more rugged areas of SCP-2541. 
Creatures previously observed in winter were 
seen to wander SCP-2541. The avian 
specimens were found to produce sounds 
resembling the glass harmonica in harmonic 
triads. 


In the later weeks of this period, the floral 
growths in SCP-2541 were found to gradually 
decrease in color intensity, clarity, and size. In 
the last 3 days of the study, growths were 
eventually reduced to the barren state as 
observed upon initial containment. 


Researcher Notes: As part of the 


requirements of the end of the study, we 
began to determine the connection between 
the various stages from the perspective of an 
ecologist, compiling the defined events that 
should occur during those times for use in 
future study. The reversion of SCP-2541 toa 
state nearly identical to that in which we began 
the study represented the full circle of 
ecological change within SCP-2541, giving us 
sufficient evidence to create a list of 
recommended containment protocol based on 
the phenomena observed. 


Despite evidence found in previous seasons, 
we were unable to reach a final conclusion as 
to the possibility of human habitation within 
SCP-2541. We were unable to determine 
whether fragmented creatures found by our 
surveillance devices were rendered inert 
through human intervention or natural hunting 
patterns by specimens native to SCP-2541. | 
strongly recommend, however, that future 
researchers assigned to SCP-2541 continue to 
consider it as a possibility. 


This entry hereby concludes the 
documentation of the diagnostic observation 
study of SCP-2541. Containment 
recommendations and data recorded will be 
filed within the next week, and regular 
containment will be established following that. 


Permanent containment of SCP-2541 was established upon the 
conclusion of the study. In addition, a study as to ascertain the 
nature of SCP-2541-A was approved on the grounds of the 
information documented by the research team, and it has been 
declared a priority to determine if there are any methods of 
neutralizing or preventing any manifestations of SCP-2541-A. 


A request to utilize SCP-2541 as a source of high-quality resources 
for use in the creation of specialized electronics requiring 


components that can be found within SCP-2541 was denied on 
grounds of causing significant damage to SCP-2541 with potentially 
dangerous effects. 


Attempts to identify a presence of humans in SCP-2541 have been 
approved.

SCP-2542: Grinds Exceeding Small 


Item #: SCP-2542 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment is focused on 
seizing and destroying any knowledge of SCP-2542 and all 
evidence thereof. This is to be maintained through destruction of all 
instances of SCP-2542-A and working in conjoint efforts with local 
police departments to seize and then destroy all SCP-2542-A 
instances currently in circulation. 


Foundation Al (ATLS-20 and GRGN-04) are to monitor websites 
dedicated to usage of illegal drugs and their related paraphernalia 
and also websites in which users more likely to perform these 
activities congregate for mention of SCP-2542, SCP-2542-A, or the 
description of a DIONYSUS-12 Event. 


SCP-2542-A is to be destroyed by a contingent of D-Class who have 
been shown to be repeat drug offenders with no history of theft. All 
D-Class who return from a DIONYSUS-12 Event are to be 
interviewed. If the D-Class returns deceased, another is to be 
brought to fill its place. When the D-Class stops undergoing 
DIONYSUS-12 Events (defined as a period of four months without 
an occurrence) they will be amnesticized and released back into the 
general populace, due to their non-violent offenses. 


All researchers studying SCP-2542 and SCP-2542-A are to undergo 
mandatory weekly drug screenings. Any failure will result in Class-C 
amnestics, a demotion, and transfer to another site. 


As of 3-1-12, all experiments involving theft of SCP-2542-A from 
SCP-2542 are forbidden. 


Description: SCP-2542 is a humanoid of indeterminate species and 
origin which exists in what is theorized to be a self-contained pocket 


dimension. Initial access to SCP-2542's dimension is contingent 
upon knowledge of the entity, its nature, and a desire to engage in 
commerce with it. No procedure is necessary to enter, taking an 
average of three minutes from initial desire to disappearance. 
Knowledge of SCP-2542 is not necessary for transportation 
stemming from consumption of SCP-2542-A. 


SCP-2542-A is a plant superficially resembling cannabis, in terms of 
smell, appearance, and THC content. SCP-2542-A is more closely 
related, however, to plants of the Rafflesia genus. The primary 
anomalous property of SCP-2542-A is its apparent indestructibility. 
While the plant can be ground up, the particles will not be destroyed 
unless burnt by an individual with a desire to become intoxicated. 


After an individual has used SCP-2542-A for the purposes of 
intoxication, at any point until the THC fully leaves their bloodstream, 
they can be subject to a DIONYSUS-12 Event. A DIONYSUS-12 
Event involves the subject disappearing at random and entering 
SCP-2542's pocket dimension. Individuals who undergo a 
DIONYSUS-12 Event describe the time spent in SCP-2542's 
dimension as awkward and tense, mostly due to SCP-2542's 
seeming unfamiliarity with human biology. 


When an individual has entered SCP-2542's dimension in order to 
obtain SCP-2542-A, SCP-2542 shows a strong preference to 
making deals that benefit the buyer in question. It is unclear if this is 
due to some form of good nature on the behalf of the entity or if it is 
an attempt to spread SCP-2542-A. SCP-2542 accepts money, IOUs, 
and objects of sentimental value. It is worth noting that SCP-2542 
makes no attempt to seek the money owed. Despite this, all 
individuals who undergo a DIONYSUS-12 Event express discomfort 
surrounding SCP-2542. Normally, an individual will not be involved 
in more than three DIONYSUS-12 events, but individuals involved in 
more than ten have been recorded. 


SCP-2542 remains amicable with all subjects unless an individual 
attempts to steal SCP-2542-A. All forms of theft are met with 
extreme aggression and then death. The remains of these 
individuals return to where they were taken from within one week, 
though some have been kept for up to six months. Autopsies 
confirm that while the bodies may appear to have undergone 


unusual injury, the subjects were alive for the majority of time spent 
in SCP-2542's dimension. 


Interview 2542-1A: 
+ show block 


SCP-2542-A was discovered due to an 
uncharacteristic and unprecedented increase 
of illegal cannabis sale in Cleveland, OH, 
which was connected to a series of brutal 
murders following what was called “impossible 
disappearance(s).” When the cannabis was all 
found to be both indestructible under normal 
circumstances and more closely related to 
rafflesia than any other plant, the Foundation 
inserted itself into all attempts to apprehend 
those responsible. 


Daniel Sheridan (POI-2542-1) was quickly 
found to be the source of this upswing in 
cannabis sales. Due to his prior work as a 
clerk at a local bookstore, the methods by 
which he was able to produce and/or procure 
SCP-2542-A were deemed to be anomalous, 
resulting in Foundation agents taking charge of 
all interviews. Herein is the first interview 
where the nature of SCP-2542 was 
established. 


Interviewer: Are you comfortable? Do you 
need something to drink? 


Daniel Sheridan: I'd like my lawyer is what I'd 
like. | didn't do any of that killing. That was 
him. 


I: We're a little beyond that right now, Mr. 
Sheridan. I'd like you to tell me who this him 
was. 


DS: Tayn't. Like, some weird elf devil name. T- 
A-Y-N-apostrophe-T. God. Fuck. | sound 
crazy. You're not going to believe me, are 
you? 


I: | can't help you unless you tell me the truth. 
No matter how it sounds. How did you meet it? 


DS: | didn't summon him or anything. | didn't 
sell my soul. | just, | don't know. | really wanted 
to get high. Really bad. And | just, | don't 
know. | kept wishing. And | think he heard me. 


I: And Tayn't is the source of this marijuana 
you've been selling? 


DS: | don't know if he grows it or anything. Or 
how he grows it. Uh, he doesn't live, well, 
here. | don't know. He doesn't live where we 
do. 


I: Please explain, Mr. Sheridan. 


DS: When you think of him, when you want it 
really bad, when you're jonesing, you just, | 
don't know, close your eyes. And you're there. 
It's wet. It smells terrible. It's dark, but | can 
see just enough. Things are glowing, but you 
can't tell where they are. It's hot. You know 
those ugly fucking smell flowers? The 
Pokemon one and the one that looks like a 
dick? They were everywhere. It was, uh, rot. 
That's where he lives. You think I'm crazy. 


I: I've heard stranger. Continue. 


DS: He lives in, like, a hut. It's filled with bugs. 
It's noisy. And it gets hotter the more you 
come in. But it's opulent, man. He's got, like, 
beetles fighting each other in cages right next 
to fucking, like, entire barrels of weed. And it 


was all good stuff. All purple. It smelled like 
heaven, and | wanted to sit right next up to it, 
because everything else smelled so bad. The 
bugs were everywhere, man. 


I: Can you describe him to me? 


DS: Big. He was always tall. He had weird 
ears. Sometimes sharp, all weird elf shit, but 
sometimes he didn't have any, just these weird 
holes. Lizard shit. Sometimes, he had a neck 
tattoo. It was always something gross. 
Something that didn't make sense. Like he 
saw a few hardasses in real life and tried to do 
it himself. 


I: Can you give me an example? 
DS: A gun with a vagina in it. 
I: | see. Go on.
