SCP-1203: Ouroboros 


Item #: SCP-1203 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1203 is assigned to a 3m 
x 2m x 2m containment cell. The living space at Site-17 is outfitted 
with steel walls and one solid barred door that locks from the 
outside. There is to be one guard on duty at all times near the cell to 
ensure SCP-1203 does not attempt a self-termination or auto-abort. 
It is recommended the subject be dosed persistently with the 
prescribed anti-psychotic medicines and mild narcotics to avoid this 
possibility. These medicines will be replaced with restraints during 
SCP-1203's pregnancies. SCP-1203 is to be restrained at times 
when not under supervision. At no time is SCP-1203 allowed to 
leave Site-17. 


One to three hours before death SCP-1203 will begin seizing, 
followed by a state similar to catatonia, and ending in a cease of all 
bodily functions. Time of death is recorded after a pulse is shown in 
the newborn, rather than the mother’s natural death. 


Termination attempts on SCP-1203 as of the incident with Research 
Assistant are indefinitely on hold. Reference Log from Failed 
Termination-1203b. 


Description: SCP-1203 is a human female, approximately 20 years 
of age, identifying by the name ‘Miranda’. SCP-1203 has been in 
containment for approximately 95 years, or 5 cycles as of 
SCP-1203's next natural death and birth. 


SCP-1203 was recovered from Xochicalco, Mexico. Agent 

began investigation with a lead based on local reports of 

disappearances near the Feathered Serpent pyramid (reference - 
in the newspaper, "La Policia Rescata a Bebé en Piramide"). 

SCP-1203 was discovered near the pyramid summit accompanied 


by members of The Serpent's Hand. A 'mother' SCP-1203 could not 
be located. 


At 21 years of age SCP-1203 undergoes a process similar to 
parthenogenesis, resulting with the conception of one genetically 
identical human fetus. At an embryonic level this form of 
reproduction is comparable to the aforementioned medical 
phenomenon, however, new instances of SCP-1203 are not 
developmentally inhibited, and do not benefit from any (natural) 
extended longevity. 


SCP-1203 during any stage of her life has an identical biological 
profile to previous instances of SCP-1203. A definite date cannot be 
placed on the length of the existence of SCP-1203. 


The condition suffered by SCP-1203 is unique in that memories are 
also transferred from the mother to the newborn. Variances in the 
progeny of SCP-1203 are represented in the sense that SCP-1203 
maintains memory of its previous lifespans. This experience of 
“rebirth” and the recollection of the event have a noticeable and 
detrimental psychological effect on SCP-1203. Based on these 
observations we can assume SCP-1203 is lucid in infancy and 
during birth. 


Addendum 1203- : 12/23/1991 


Documentation: Excerpt from Interview 
Translated Revision 


Dr. : Tell us more about your family history. 


SCP-1203: | only remember back to my eighth 
grandmother, but only little bits and pieces. | recall other 
things but they’re kind of like a dream that you forget 
after you wake up. 


Dr. : Tell us the experience you have after death. 
SCP-1203-: | fall asleep and | wake up. It’s dark and 


then | feel warm. | see a light like a tunnel, and I'm back 
again. 


Dr. : How is the experience of being born traumatic? 


SCP-1203: | trust you do not mean the last time. | can 
still hear that poor man screaming. 


Dr. : No. 


SCP-1203: | remember it. I'm there in both places, and 
I'm pushing myself out... It is unpleasant. 


Dr. : Would you like the cycles to end? 
SCP-1203: Yes, and | would like to fly as well. 
Log from Failed Termination-1203b: 


Foreword: Due to lack of any discernible benefit to the Foundation 
and the current mental state of SCP-1203, a termination was 
scheduled on / / under supervision from the late Research 
Assistant —. The attempt to abort cyclical rebirth of the subject took 
place shortly after SCP-1203s ‘first’ labor contractions. The decision 
to abort rather than terminate SCP-1203 was reached on basis that 
more could be learned in regard to the nature of SCP-1203 in this 
manner. 


Extraction was performed successfully, the newborn having been 
completely removed and separated from the mother. The mother 
was then pronounced dead. During the cranial potassium injection 
the mother as well as the newborn's (SCP-1203s) husk began to 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. What followed was a reportedly indiscernible 
eruption of viscera from Research Assistant — . Both instances of 
SCP-1203 were found afterwards to be undamaged. 


The newborn recovered completely after the incident. No abnormal 
potassium levels were present. 


Research Assistant — was found afterwards completely drained of 
fluid, his circulatory system inverted and strewn from the mouth. The 
autopsy revealed no marks on Research Assistant that would be 
indicative of a physical assault. No other anomalies were found save 
for extra hair growth of 300mm, a scar 1.067mm in diameter on the 


forehead, and an extreme case of hyperkalaemia.

SCP-1204: Clingy Transient 


Item #: SCP-1204 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1204 is contained in 
SCP-1204-A. SCP-1204-A should be contained in a standard 
containment cell measuring 4 m x 4 m, armed with infrared sensors 
and cameras. This cell may be furnished at the site director’s 
discretion as long as said changes to the containment environment 
do not compromise security. SCP-1204-A is not permitted to leave 
the room unless accompanied by at least two armed guards who 
have passed a psychological evaluation. Physical contact with 
SCP-1204 is not recommended. Subject is not permitted to leave 
the room until a decision toward transfer of SCP-1204-A or 
termination is reached. 


Description: SCP-1204 does not seem to be visible by sight alone 
and is not susceptible to most forms of physical contact save for 
electric pulse. Its composition is not yet known. CT scans reveal the 
shape of an amorphic tumor-like mass located in the brain of 
SCP-1204-A-50 (a Hispanic female, approximately 21 years of age) 
near the hippocampus, although resulting images vary greatly on 
each separate occasion, revealing the mass in separate locations 
within the brain. 


RESEARCHERS' NOTE: It is the consensus of researchers that the 
mass is a highly mobile mass, similar in size to an adult human 
heart although results are inconclusive. 


The entity itself does not seem to have a harmful physical effect on 
SCP-1204-A during a typical habitation aside from a substantial 
effect on hormonal balance, mainly resulting in severe mood swings. 
See Document 1204-18: for details on prolonged habitation. 


SCP-1204 will remain within SCP-1204-A until transferring to 


another host. The process by which this is achieved appears to be a 
contracting of ’mass’ which originates near the pharynx and leads 
out through the mouth of SCP-1204-A. The process ends with 
SCP-1204 relocating to another host and takes between 6 to 12 
minutes. This process requires extended oral contact between each 
party; tendrils seen between the two openings via infrared cameras 
reveal the process of “phasing” between the two parties to take 
place relatively slowly. SCP-1204 seems to cause euphoria within 
SCP-1204-A and its new host for the short duration of the transfer 
for what can be assumed to help ensure successful relocation. 
SCP-1204-A expires from internal bleeding after the process has 
completed. Testing reveals small but fatal tears near the rear of the 
nasal cavity and ventral portions of the brain in SCP-1204-A after 
transfer. This suggests a tow on brain tissue during migration. 
Reasons behind the fatality of SCP-1204-A are not yet known, as 
the entity usually appears to phase harmlessly through different 
portions of the body in all other circumstances. Further examinations 
reveal the absence of a hippocampus in deceased subjects. 


New hosts of SCP-1204 do not seem to be aware of SCP-1204's 
existence and do not claim a noticeable change in affect or 
experience when under the influence of SCP-1204, although 
repeated testing and observation has shown that subjects under the 
influence of SCP-1204 will become increasingly hypersocial, 
devoting significant amounts of time seeking out physical contact. 
SCP-1204-A will experience "strong feelings of loneliness" as well 
as extreme idolization of one potential romantic partner. Sexual 
interaction only appears to be incidental when under the influence of 
SCP-1204. 


SCP-1204 was discovered after an unusual string of ‘murder’ and 
‘suicide’ reports were uncovered by Foundation search algorithms 
reviewing local papers from portions of the lower southeastern 
United States, ranging from Palm Harbor, Florida to Clarksville, 
Tennessee. This linked string of incidents seems to have coincided 
over the course of 10 years and involved more than _ individuals 
before SCP-1204 was detected by the Foundation and recovered. 
The origin of SCP-1204 has yet to be discovered due to 
inconsistencies in public records.

Foreword: The following is from the journal of SCP-1204-A-45. 


I'll just preface this by saying that | always felt like | could 
never be too close to you. I’ve felt that way for a while. | 
hope you’re at peace wherever you are now. It feels like 
you're so far away now... | don't know how I'm going to 
get through this... 


[IRRELEVANT MATERIAL REDACTED] 


Please don’t get angry at me for meeting with 
tonight. It just hurts, it hurts so bad... | need someone to 
help ease the pain. 


Why did you have to die?

Foreword: The following is from a note found on the premises of 
SCP-1204-A-20. 


| just feel like when we're hugging and stuff that | want to 
be closer, you know? Like | can't be any more close to 
you than possible. It's like, | don't know! It's such a weird 
feeling, like when we're lying down together like | just 
want to, | don't know, like, be you for just a second? 


Haha, hope that doesn't sound to creepy. ILY! Text me!

computer. 


| jumped the first guy | saw at the party. No kissing or 
anything. I'm really a piece of work aren't | Grace? Paul 
would hate me if he knew what | was doing. I'm just so 
fucking lonely. Maybe I'm trying to shake off Paul. | don't 
fucking know anymore. 


Come by my place later so we can talk, okay? 


Document 1204-18: 

Foreword: The following is a written account from the current host of 
SCP-1204; SCP-1204-A-50, a D-Class suffering from oneirophrenia. 
The cause of the disorder is believed to be a result of prolonged 
isolation and internal effect from SCP-1204. D-Class began showing 
signs of increasing instability including psychotic outbursts, 
delusional thoughts and at times attempted to assault researchers 
during testing. 


fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you let me the fuck out 
you stupid cunt you want to keep dr. for yourself you 
stupid cunt you jealous cunt thats why you have me 
locked in here because you.want.him.all.to.yourself. this

you. we can both be with you. when can get to you 


Note: The mental state of SCP-1204-A-50 appears to be 
deteriorating over time, and the subject's jaw appears to be 
expanding, the mouth appearing visibly larger. The decision to 
terminate or transfer of SCP-1204 is currently being discussed 
among site command.

SCP-1205: Wallflower 


Item #: SCP-1205 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1205 should be kept in a 
windowless containment cell with low light, facing a surveillance 
camera. Air quality tests should be performed on a monthly basis, 
and the atmosphere adjusted to prevent mold formation. 


Personnel monitoring the live surveillance will be alerted by an 
alarm, in the event of any change in the object's size or shape; 
observation of the live video feed itself is discouraged, until more 
information on Incident 1205-G __ is available. 


Description: SCP-1205 appears to be a patch of decaying, floral- 
print wallpaper, still attached to a cut-away segment of wall. The 
paper appears to be aged and flaking, and seems as vulnerable to 
burning (both with fire and various chemicals) and cutting as 
comparable vinyl-free wallpapers. Subjects instructed to intentionally 
damage the item reported hearing a sustained shriek, as if from a far 
distance, reminiscent of the ascending pitch of tea kettle's whistle. 


Within twenty-four hours, any portions of paper destroyed will re- 
appear on the wall in their former location and in identical condition. 
Fragments removed by cutting or tearing inevitably crumble into a 
fine dust within minutes, reappearing after the same twenty-four 
hour period. The item has also been observed to change shape and 
size at irregular intervals. These changes have never added or 
subtracted more than six square centimeters from the object's 
approximate surface area. 


Under experiment conditions, interaction with the object has not 
been observed to produce any psychological, physical or other 
damages, short or long-term. However, controversy surrounding 
Incident 1205-G suggests that further testing for perception- 


altering influences is necessary. 


Incident Report 1205-G___is required reading for all personnel 
assigned to SCP-1205. 


Note: The following file contains excerpts from Dr. E 

G_ 's personal notes and logs. All references to 
Foundation staff and family members have been 
censored. Descriptions of events by Dr.G_ which have 
since been disputed by eyewitnesses are annotated 
accordingly.

Excerpts from the logs of Dr.E G 

5/16 

Guess someone believes in second chances; either that, 
or | haven't caught the punchline. New assignment, 
against all odds. Looks like wallpaper. E. can't stand the 
sight of it, but wished me luck. 


Started with measurements, today; nothing too 
interesting. One of the D's was sneezing and itching from 
the beginning— turned out he was allergic to the fabric of 
his new suit. His appearance changed more than the 
scp’'s. 


5/17 

Damage tests: it cuts, tears, and burns like paper. No 
unusual components in the ash or smoke; the fragments 
fell apart, though, which at least indicates that this isn't 
someone's idea of a hoax. 


E. isn't here today; off-site, somewhere in [REDACTED]. 
Sitting in the observation booth, where it's quiet. Must've 
been an hour or two, by now. Can't help wondering what 
that paper would have looked like, covering some old 
parlor wall. The red flowers look like poppies. The colors 
would have been striking, before the paper browned. 


Stupid thought. Maybe it never looked any different than 


it does now. 


Note: This is the first instance of the subject 
appearing preoccupied with the contained 
item; however, as other personnel have 
pointed out, the subject's remarks do not 
necessarily indicate fixation.
