Special Containment Procedures: All identified copies of 
SCP-2433-1 are currently saved on a designated hard drive found in 
Wing C on Site-17. Each saved instance of SCP-2433-1 should be 
accompanied by a text file detailing recovered site, estimated people 
affected, and other relevant information, including discovery 
location, estimated exposure, and calculated BRI. Testing regarding 
SCP-2433 is open to all Site-17 staff with Security Clearance 2 or 
higher, as long as the experiment does not involve the usage of an 
Internet connection; all testing conducted that seeks to use the 
Internet in any setting require the permission of Site Director 
Putnam. SCP-2433-1 instances created for the sake of testing must 
be recorded. 


Foundation web crawlers in tandem with image recognition software 
are to search for images that bear similarities to SCP-2433. Facial 
recognition software is not to be used as previous protocol revealed 


large amounts of false-positives. Confirmed instances of 
SCP-2433-1 need to be removed immediately from public view if 
possible. Site Director Putnam should be notified if an instance is 
calculated to have a BRI of higher than 40. 


Currently, there are 73 confirmed instances of SCP-2433-1; the 
associated MD5 hashes of these images are grounds for instant 
removal of the image. Social media websites and image sharing 
sites such as Facebook, Reddit, Tumblr, 4chan, Twitter, and 
Pinterest are given priority due to the large userbase and potential 
accumulation of SCP-2433-u events. 


Members of MTF Lambda-84 ("Sample Text") have joined the 
security detail of the United States Senate as well as the city of 
Burlington to monitor for any increase of SCP-2433-u events, as 
well as collection of u-A instances if possible. Due to the large 
amount of u-A instances collected each day, as well as its non- 
anomalous properties, MTF Lambda-84 has been given permission 
to dispose u-A instances at their own discretion unless otherwise 
notified. 


As per request of Foundation Records and Information Security 
Administration (RAISA), it is strictly forbidden to download this file, 
as precaution against this file possibly being considered an instance 
of SCP-2433-1. 


Description: SCP-2433 is an image of Vermont Senator Bernie 
Sanders giving a speech, taken around August 2015 during a 
campaign event in Florida. 


SCP-2433-1 are a collection of images that are altered forms of 
SCP-2433 through conventional image editing software. Testing has 
shown that the primary effect of SCP-2433 persists no matter the 
degree of alteration or the amount it resembles the original image. 
The majority of SCP-2433-1 instances (52 instances, or 71% of all 
current confirmed instance) are merely watermarked, resized, or 
filtered instances of other SCP-2433-1 instances, however, several 
are believed to have originated from the same origin as the 
anomalous qualities of SCP-2433. 


Testing has confirmed that the images yield no anomalous memetic 


qualities when viewed. The primary anomalous effect occurs when 
the image is shared, discussed or otherwise interacted with online, 
triggering a SCP-2433-u event. Simply viewing a SCP-2433 or 
SCP-2433-1 instance does not trigger a SCP-2433-u event, and 
show no anomalous qualities when printed or taken offline. 
"Interaction" has been confirmed to include: 


¢ Indicating interest or other feelings, such as "liking" on 
Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter 

¢ Sharing with others, such as forwarding through email or 
retweeting on Twitter 

* Downloading and reuploading 

¢ Leaving a comment or post about the image; referencing the 
image without the image being present on the website does 
not seem to trigger a SCP-2433-u event 


When an SCP-2433-p event occurs, American quarters (designated 
as item y-A) materialize in a 50 meter radius around Senator 
Sanders. No instance of p-A has been observed to materialize in 
solid or liquid matter. Based on material, year minted, scratches, 
general wear and tear, as well as trace amount of biological matter 
from fingerprints left on p-A instances indicate that the origin of the 
coin is different each time, likely from random sources across the 
United States each time a SCP-2433-p event occurs. 


When SCP-2433-u events occur due to the unaltered SCP-2433, u- 
A instances materialize in close proximity to Senator Sanders, and 
usually on surfaces such as tabletops and desk drawers, and may 
be within visual range of Senator Sanders.! However, the degree of 
alteration present in SCP-2433-1 increases the possible furthest 
point of manifestation and becomes less predicable as the Balkin 
Resemblance Index (BRI) increases.@ 


The base BRI has been defined to be 0 for the original SCP-2433 
only in the context of this report and related research. It is 
hypothesized that a maximum BRI to which would trigger 
SCP-2433-u events exist; however, testing is inconclusive to the 
maximum value of BRIS, as it is also hypothesized that the 
manifestation field would increase with BRI. 


Currently, SCP-2433-u events average at 14 manifestations every 


hour; before containment procedures were put in place, it was 
estimated to average at 90 manifestations every hour. The amount 
of manifestations increases from 1600 hours to 2400 hours EST, 
then gradually slows down. Manifestation amounts also increase 
usually on weekends. 


Senator Sanders has displayed no knowledge or control over 
SCP-2433 and SCP-2433-u events. 


Addendum 2433-A: The origins of SCP-2433 were unclear until a 
raid on the headquarters of Gol-5869 on 11/16/16. No persons of 
interest have been found.

Footnotes 

1. Senator Sanders either never directly witnessed a SCP-2433-u 
event, or chose not to acknowledge it. Over a 15 month period, 
there are 86 recorded instances of Senator Sanders making 
physical contact with p-A after a manifestation event; no anomaly 
has been recorded and there is currently no need to prohibit this 
from happening. A total of $82.75 have been collected for personal 
use by Senator Sanders and other staffers, and none towards 
campaign functions. 

2. The BRI of SCP-2433-1 does not change with number of 
SCP-2433-y events or amount of people exposed, but has been 
confirmed to be correlated to brightness, saturation, size, and 
presence of external visual and textual elements as detailed 
inCultural Software: A Theory of Ideology(Balkin, 1988). 

3. Current confirmed highest functional BRI at around 600, using a 
40 pixel sample 

4. Currently not found 

5. Contains 1 instances of SCP-2433-1; estimated 50 people 
exposed and may correlate to 21 u-A manifestations between 
9/15/2016 to 9/16/2016 

6. A political subreddit supporting Sen. Sanders 

7. Contains 7 instances of SCP-2433-1; contains 6422 notes before 
deletion, estimated 7000 people exposed and may correlate to 4500 
u-A manifestations between 6/15/2015 to 10/20/2015 

8. Contains 8 instances of SCP-2433-1; estimated 120 people 
exposed and may correlate to 87 u-A manifestations between 
12/25/2015 and 12/27/2015

SCP-2434: Carmageddon 


Item #: SCP-2434 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-2434-1 are 
kept at Site- . Each instance of SCP-2434-1 must be cleaned once 
per month, and turned on to check all engine operations. 
SCP-2434-1 is to remain off when not in testing. Testing or 
interviewing of SCP-2434-1 may only be approved by SCP-2434's 
project lead. 


Mobile Task Force Omega-10 ("Roadblock") is assigned to block off 
areas where instances of SCP-2434-1 are likely to appear. 


Description: SCP-2434 refers to a phenomenon that occurs on 
several dead end streets located in the town of __, New York. 
Automobiles of various makes and models (referred to as 
SCP-2434-1) materialize and dematerialize at the end of these 
streets. Instances of SCP-2434-1 are noted to appear traveling up to 
speeds of 100 kilometers per hour before dematerializing. (The 
average speed being approximately 45 kilometers per hour) If an 
instance of SCP-2434-1 travelling less than 75 km/h collides with an 
object of at least 1,200 kilograms, the object will cease any further 
movement and can be successfully recovered. 


In approximately 24% of cases, instances of SCP-2434-1 are able to 
travel vertically, up to a height of 32 meters. In 19% of cases, 
instances are noted to dematerialize while in the air. The manner in 
which instances of SCP-2434-1 achieve vertical motion is currently 
unknown. 


In the cases in which instances disappear in the air, SCP-2434-1 will 
perform a 180 degree turn, then tilt upward at a 90 degree angle. 
After tilting, the instance achieves vertical motion. In all cases, 
instances will drop several pieces of paper. Upon closer inspection, 


these papers resemble parking violations. 


Instances of SCP-2434-1 are able to communicate via stereo 
system. It is of note that SCP-2434-1 is able to operate without 
gasoline. How SCP-2434-1 does this is currently unknown. Inquiring 
instances of SCP-2434-1 of this have proven inconclusive. 


Addendum: Several instances of SCP-2434-1 were approved to be 
interviewed. The following is an excerpt of said interviews: 


+ Interview of SCP-2434-1-12 
Interviewed: SCP-2434-1-12 
Interviewer: Dr Kim 


Foreward: SCP-2434-1-12 is identical to a 
Ford Explorer, dated 1986. Note that the 
instance is not capable of vertical motion. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Kim: Good afternoon, SCP-2434-1-12. | 
will be interviewing you today. 


SCP-2434-1-12: I'd prefer if you called me 
Frank. But sure thing. 


Dr. Kim: Care to tell me where you came 
from? 


SCP-2434-1-12: | was heading home from 
work like | always do. | decided to take the 
highway, but traffic was beginning to back up. | 
took the local route, but that was backed up 
too. So instead | opted to take a shortcut. 
Usually earth routes are clear. But then you 
guys came and took me. 


Dr. Kim: Can you explain what an earth route 
is? 


several youth inexplicably falling victim to hypothermia at a local hot 
springs. These events, along with ongoing reports of “Will-o’-the- 
Wisps" by superstitious locals, caught Agent ’s attention. After 
finding SCP-266, he was able to lead it to nearby Site- . Upon 
arrival, Agent exhibited symptoms of hypothermia, and was 
only saved by the efforts of Dr. and staff. Due to Site- ’s 
containment conditions, SCP-266 was relocated to Site-19 at first 
convenience. 


Addendum 266-A: Audio logs recording conversations between 
personnel and SCP-266 have revealed English words and phrases 
being used alongside its standard dialect. Current theory is that it is 
simply imitating these words, much like a parrot. Further 
documentation is requested regarding this matter. 


« SCP-265 | SCP-266 | SCP-267 » 


SCP-2434-1-12: It's kind of like...well. It's like 
taking a spacetime jump. | mean, it's against 
the law, but no way in hell was | going to sit in 
traffic. 


Dr. Kim: How are you able to take these 
jumps? 


SCP-2434-1-12: You make a left turn off a 
street, do a u-turn, then drive vertically ata 
high speed. Then bam. The Jump. Now, can 
you let me go? | have a family to go to. 


Dr. Kim: Sure. Just one more question: How 
do you drive vertically? 


SCP-2434-1-12: By driving vertically. 
Dr. Kim: | don't understand. 


SCP-2434-1-12: Look pal, | don't have the 
answers you're looking for. | just want to go 
home. 


<End Log> 


Conclusion: An attempt to launch 
SCP-2434-1-12 vertically was made. The 
attempt resulted in extensive damage to 
SCP-2434-1-12. Communication with 
SCP-2434-1-12 has proven unsuccessful. 


+ Interview of SCP-2434-1-17 
Interviewed: SCP-2434-1-17 
Interviewer: Dr. Kim 


Foreward: SCP-2434-1-17 is identical to a 
Mercedes Benz, dated 2011. Note that the 
instance ran over Agent prior to 
containment. 


<Begin Log> 

Dr. Kim: What brought you here? 
SCP-2434-1-17: | wanted to escape. 
Dr. Kim: Why? 


SCP-2434-1-17: | hate my peers. | hate this 
society. | hate pretty much everything. 


Dr. Kim: Why do you hate them? 


SCP-2434-1-17: [sighs] Well, cars like me are 
considered rejects. Scum. All because | was 
caught inhaling bio-fuel as a teen. And 
because of that, we take up some dirty jobs 
that other cars don't normally take. In short, 
my job is to hop across spacetime and run 
people over for money. | don't like it, but | do it 
anyway. But if you ask me, it's a blood sport 
more than anything else.
