SCP-2874: Don-Burten Explosive Dev13e 


Item #: SCP-2874 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2874 is currently 
contained in Storage Unit 12, located at Site-11. SCP-2874 is to be 
kept in a sealed chamber at all times, which is to be guarded from 
the outside by two (10) security personnel at all times. Due to its 
nature, no security cameras or viewing windows are to be present in 
SCP-2874's containment chamber. 


No personnel are to visually observe SCP-2874 at any time, whether 
directly or indirectly. Periodically, SCP-2874's location in the 
containment chamber is to be confirmed through touch by a 
blindfolded member of 9-Class personnel. In the event that a 
member of personnel becomes compromised by SCP-2874, they 
are to be euthanized immediately. 


Due to the risk that SCP-2874's effects present the possibility of 
spreading exponentially, in the event that personnel suspect an 
individual has become compromised by SCP-2874 but cannot 
identify them, Site-08 is to be locked down immediately until the 
individual can be identified. 


Description: SCP-2874 is a large metallic cylinder with the words 
‘DON-BURTEN' emblazoned on the top. Analysis has shown that 
SCP-2874 is completely hollow, and composed of iron which 
displays no unusual properties. 


Any human being who visually observes SCP-2874 will become 
compromised and, at some point in the next 7 months, violently 
explode. Any individuals who observe this explosion will also 
become compromised by SCP-2874 in the same way. Photographs 
and video recordings of these explosions have been tested and 
proven to have the same effects as direct observation. 


During the period before a compromised individual explodes, they 
will experience a number of symptoms that will intensify the closer 
they are to detonation: 


* Increased anxiety. 

¢ Paranoia. 

¢ A desire to loiter in public areas. 

* Asense of impending doom. 

¢ Severe depression. 

Hallucinations of disembodied voices informing the victim that 
they are going to explode. 

Hallucinations of numbers counting down 6 the victim 
exploding. 


Despite initial assumptions that these symptoms were a natural 
result of being compromised by SCP-2874 and aware of the effects 
of such a situation, 5er testing has shown that symptoms also take 
hold in individuals who are compromised by SCP-2874 but are 
unaware of its effects. 


SCP-2874 was first discovered in a damaged vessel, theorized to be 
intended 4 space-flight, located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean 
and recovered during construction of the [REDACTED] containment 
facility. The corpses of 3 humanoid entities were also recovered and 
are now stored separately at Site-02. 


Addendum 2874-1: 


During a security breach by hostile elements on / /_ , several 
members of personnel are believed to have been sent images of 
explosions caused by SCP-2874. Members of personnel who 
suspect they have been compromised by SCP-2874 are urged tO

SCP-2875: The Town That Got Fucked By Bears 


Item #: SCP-2875 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: A perimeter is to be established 
2km from the center of , WI, and no non-Foundation personnel 
are to pass this limit. Mobile Task Force Lambda-2 "Chain Gang" is 
to oversee containment of SCP-2875. 


Updated Containment Procedures: Due to recent findings, only 
MTF A-2 approved equipment is considered acceptable to dispatch 
SCP-2875-A instances. Under no circumstances are any personnel 
to attempt to dispatch an instance of SCP-2875-A with a firearm, 
incendiary device, or other unauthorized implement. 


Description: SCP-2875 is a phenomenon occurring only in the town 
of , Wisconsin. At noon every three days, between 50-100 fully 
grown adult Ursus arctos horribilis (mainland grizzly bear) will 
appear throughout the town. These instances are not anomalously 
strong or fast, or anomalously hostile, and will generally act like any 
other member of their species given the situation. 


The phenomenon appears to be cumulative; the instances 
(SCP-2875-A) will linger around the town center for a short time 
before dispersing, and more instances will appear three days later. 
Due to the potential scaling issues of the bear population growth, it 
has become imperative to dispatch the new instances as quickly as 
possible. 


Currently the only feasible means to dispatch SCP-2875-A instances 
is by using a highly concentrated aerosol tranquilizer spray, and 
then a blunt instrument with which to cause trauma to the cranial 
region, as killing any of the instances using a firearm or incendiary 
device results in two new instances appearing next to the corpse of 
the deceased instance. As such, only Foundation standard 


motorized blunt force devices have been permitted for use against 
the instances, with other blunt or bladed weapons being permitted 
per MTF leader instruction. 


Discovery: SCP-2875 was discovered by Foundation containment 
teams sent to investigate reports about the sudden disappearance 
of an entire town of people. Upon arriving at , the situation 
quickly became apparent when the town was observed as being 
flooded with SCP-2875-A instances. Initially the containment teams 
had prepared to move all of the instances to other habitats outside 
of , but when the recurring nature of SCP-2875 was discovered, 
the current containment procedures were established. 


MTF Lead Note: / know plenty of you think that this is some kind of 
joke, but a town of constantly appearing bears is serious. Can you 
imagine what would happen to the local ecosystem if we let this 
thing go? It was like a goddamn bear arena when we first rolled in, 
and that was only after a few days.

SCP-2876: Dream A Little Dream 


Item #: SCP-2876 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All known sources of SCP-2876 
have been suppressed by Mobile Task Force Mu-4 ("Debuggers"). 
Mobile devices connected to global and private internet servers are 
to be regularly scanned and purged of any detected instances of 
SCP-2876. Medical reports of somnambulism and unusual physical 
degeneration are to be analysed for signs of SCP-2876 activity. 
Subjects who have been affected by SCP-2876 are to be issued 
Class-C amnestics. 


One device containing SCP-2876 is to be held in a deactivated state 
within Site-77. It is to be regularly activated every 30 days ina 
controlled environment in order to check for updates and changes to 
SCP-2876's functionality. SCP-2876's apparent origin point of 
Portland, OR, is to be monitored by Foundation agents stationed at 
Site-—64 for future activity. 


Description: SCP-2876 is a smartphone application titled 
"Headspace" appearing in web application marketplaces connected 
to the global public internet. It describes itself as a service making 
"dreams from the floor to your door" and allows users to purchase 
customized dreams and microdreams. 


The application interface for SCP-2876 consists of a text box 
allowing the user to request a custom dream. They can also select a 
length of time for the dream, ranging from a microsecond to 72 
hours. Once the purchase is complete, a message will then appear 
reading "DEDUCTION REDUCTION COMPLETE." The subject will 
then immediately lapse into REM sleep. 


Analytical metadata recovered during containment shows that most 
of SCP-2876's users average between thirty minutes to an hour of 


usage at a time, with a small percentage of users utilizing it for the 
maximum amount of time. Users will describe any dreams they 
experience as being lucid and relatively accurate to their requests. 
In addition, subjects report being able to purchase additional dream 
time while asleep through in-dream menus that appear on 
command. 


Review of SCP-2876 on [REDACTED] app store. 


During this time, they are unusually resistant to being awoken and 
their heart ceases to beat, although other bodily functions continue 
as normal. SCP-2876-affected subjects utilizing it for longer than 
one hour will enter a somnambulatory state. Any mechanisms that 
an affected subject interacts with while in this state will function even 
if they are not powered. Examples of this activity include: 


¢ Microwave ovens cooking food despite not being powered. 

¢ Motor vehicles operating without the engine running, even 
running if the battery, engine, ignition and steering column 
were removed. 

¢ Local area networks will show inactive network-enabled 
devices accessing hundreds of websites at a time. Testing 
has shown that there is no upward limit on how long subjects 
are able to utilize battery-powered devices in this manner. 

¢ Subjects are able to navigate any darkened area as though it 
were lit if inactive lighting fixtures are present. 


As users of SCP-2876 are frequently engaged in intense physical 
activities, they do not receive most of the restorative effects of sleep, 
and will frequently reactivate the application in the hope of getting 
rest. In addition to these regularly observed behaviors, there are 
several distinct groupings of SCP-2876 which appear in subjects 
regularly using long-term SCP-2876. These have been divided by 
research into four general categories. 


Behavioral groups observed in 
sleepwalking SCP-2876 
subjects. 
Pattern |, "Observers" Pattern | subjects appear to 
primarily observe their 


Pattern Il, "Preceptors" 


Pattern III, "Thrill Seekers" 


Pattern IV, "Consumers" 


environment, seeking out 
mundane objects such as waste 
bins and street signs. They will 
attempt to document them 
through any means available to 
them. Any markings made on the 
subjects' body will be removed 
once they cease to be under 
SCP-2876'S effect. 

Exposing themselves to extreme 
temperatures, weather, depths 
and heights, Pattern II subjects 
focus on sensory excitement. In 
the short term, subjects may 
stand in front of opened iceboxes 
or attempt to touch hot irons. If 
given time and the opportunity, 
they will deliberately expose 
themselves to extreme and 
dangerous weather patterns such 
as blizzards or heat waves. They 
may also spend copious amounts 
of time running showers with hot 
and coid water. 

Pattern Ill subjects behave in a 
thrill-seeking manner, frequently 
placing themselves in deliberately 
dangerous situations. However 
this type of behavior goes against 
SCP-2876's documented TOS 
agreement and will cause the 
dream to be voided, usually 
resulting in early termination of 
the sleep cycle. Occasionally, 
subsequent resting may involve 
nightmares about grinding in 
some form. 

Pattern IV subjects will attempt to 
eat massive quantities of food in 
great diversity, usually eating all 


foodstuffs in the subjects’ 
possession and in longer dream 
transactions attempting to 
purchase large quantities of food 
from local sellers. In addition, 
these subjects frequently attempt 
to place anything they can see in 
their mouths. Subjects are 
reimbursed for any expenses and 
purchases during their time 
utilizing SCP-2876. 


If a subject is killed or otherwise seriously injured during their time 
using SCP-2876, it will delete itself from any devices in the subject's 
possession. Surviving subjects show no memory of SCP-2876 and 
will rationalize their behavior if confronted, usually attributing it to 
drugs and alcohol. All other subjects who have used SCP-2876 will 
wake up in possession of a business card reading "Thanks for being 
a great host! We'll be back real soon!" 


Addendum: On 01/02/2016, SCP-2876 received the first update 
documented during containment. Included with this document, it 
changed minor aspects of the user interface while also implying 
other functionalities of the application.
