Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3445 is contained on-site 
at Peak Cemetery by a 24/7 guard duty disguised as local 
groundskeepers; an auxiliary Site, Site 321/A, has been established 
nearby for research purposes. A storage shed has been constructed 
around SCP-3445 to perform tests without exposing it to public 
viewing. Unauthorized persons approaching SCP-3445 will be 
administered amnestics and redirected elsewhere. Identification of 
subjects described in SCP-3445-A instances is ongoing. 


The status of SCP-3445 is currently unknown. Containment 
personnel are presumed deceased. 


Description: SCP-3445 is an unmarked Christian gravestone 
measuring approximately two meters tall located in Peak Cemetery, 
near Aurora, Colorado. Study of its material corrosion over time 
indicates it was first constructed some time in the late 1930s or early 
1940s. SCP-3445 has an "S" symbol superficially resembling a 
dollar sign carved into its center. 


When any $1 or $5 US bill is placed in one of the four openings in 
the top of SCP-3445, the currency will immediately vanish from its 
location and is subsequently replaced by a small notecard 
measuring 76.2 by 127.0 mm! in the same spot five minutes later 
(hereafter SCP-3445-A). SCP-3445-A instances are brief 
commentaries on a recently deceased person, always using the 
following format: 


Reason for Demise: This section contains a cryptic 
statement from which the subject's cause of death can 
usually be inferred, depending on the context given in 
the rest of a 3445-A instance. 


Preparations: Predictions are given for memorial and/or 
funeral services for the deceased. Subsequent research 
into 3445-A instances conclusively matched with real 
persons revealed that predictions are usually in line with 
the subject's personal religious beliefs (or lack thereof) 
during life and match actual memorial events. 


Commentary: Trends leading to increased deaths in 
society are briefly discussed in the first person, usually 
attempting to tie in the identity of the subject with the 
cause of death discussed. The identity of the person or 
entity speaking in 3445-A instances is currently 
unknown. 


Example of SCP-3445-A instance, 23 Sep 2012 (transcript): 
[Foundation commentary in brackets] 


Reason for Demise: Having too much fun at a party, and 
not slowing down. [Later identified as Greg Jones, a 22 
year old college senior from Southern Illinois University- 
Edwardsville who died from alcohol intoxication while 
attending an off-campus party] 


Preparations: A field of grieving scholars and forlorn 
music. A casket with a clean look for the ceremony, and 
ritual incineration afterwards. A simple memory, with 
future fate unknown. [A memorial service was held for 
Jones in the campus' football field, and his body was 


Test Subject: One (1) guinea pig, purchased from pet shop. 


Procedure: Subject was immersed in SCP-447-2 for five (5) minutes. 
Care was taken to keep the subject's head above the level of the 
fluid, to prevent the death of the test subject. 


Results: Subject's fur became saturated with the fluid. Test Item 
required several hours of grooming to remove SCP-447-2 from its 
fur. No further deleterious effects reported. 


Notes: After careful washing to remove all traces of SCP-447-2 from 
its fur, subject was subsequently consumed by Agent , who is of 
Peruvian descent. Agent reported that the meat was, in his own 
words, "the best cuye I've ever had." Approval for testing of 
SCP-447-2 as a marinade is currently on hold pending review of 
whether or not a steak constitutes a dead body. 


Date: / / 
Test Subject: One (1) tablet SCP-500 


Procedure: Subject was immersed in SCP-447-2 for five (5) minutes. 


Results: In addition to curing all diseases, subject now also leaves 
the patient's breath feeling minty fresh. 


Notes: "About what was expected. Seriously, guys, what were you 
thinking would happen?" Dr. A. Clef 


Date: / / 
Test Subject: SCP-076-2 


Procedure: 500ml of SCP-447-2 was added to 500ml distilled vodka 
( ) and two dozen ice cubes, shaken well, and strained into a 
pitcher. Approximately 0.2 liters of the mixture were poured into a 
glass with mint and a lime garnish. Mixture was taken to SCP-076-2, 
who was told, "Hey, Able, try this, it's pretty good." 


Results: SCP-076-2 agreed that the mixture was, in his words, 
"refreshing," but immediately lost interest when told of SCP-447-2's 
interaction with dead bodies. 


cremated. Last line possibly referencing non-religious 
status of subject.] 


Commentary: I'm MADD about the frequency of this. If it 
doesn't happen in cars, it happens in dorm rooms. [The 
spelling and capitalization of MADD is likely a reference 
to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, a non-profit American 
organization that advocates for stricter drunk driving 
laws] 


Example of SCP-3445-A instance, 24 Dec 2018 (transcript) 


Reason for Demise: Heeding to peer pressure anda 
false warning. [Identity unverified, location/incident 
verified] 


Preparations: A desperate cry of sympathy anda 
demand for answers. A funeral procession held on 
national television. A sense that something is wrong that 
will make it so. [SCP identification verified] 


Commentary: They were the first, but | suspect they will 
not be the last. In fact, | suspect you may be next. When 
their inevitable conviction meets your uncertain mind, 
there is only one certain outcome. [First recorded 3445-A 
instance directly addressing reader] 


The person discussed within an SCP-3445-A instance is not named 
and is usually difficult to identify because of the lack of specific 
information about them and the apparently random location of a 
given subject - subjects have been identified in locations ranging 
from central Colorado to China. However, analysis of the 
"Commentary" section combined with the cultural descriptions in the 
"Preparations" section has lead to a small number of identifications 
of 3445-A described individuals. On the few occasions where an 
individual has been identified prior to burial or cremation, attempts to 
intervene to prevent the predictions made in the "Preparations" 
section from occurring result in local space-time being anomalously 
altered until the conditions of the funeral service and/or other burial 
preparations are met.

SCP-3446: The Waders 


Agent Scott demonstrating the anomalous effects of SCP-3446 
when worn 


Item #: SCP-3446 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3446 is to be kept in a 
standard containment locker. Access is to be restricted to personnel 
with Level 2 clearance or higher. 


Personnel using SCP-3446 are to be equipped with a wetsuit, and 
respiratory gear with at least three hours of breathable air available. 
During usage, SCP-3446 and its wearer must be attached to a 
retractable cable for emergency recovery. 


Description: SCP-3446 is a pair of dark grey waterproof rubber 
waders that reach up to the mid-torso. 


SCP-3446's anomalous properties activate upon being worn by any 
person. When SCP-3446 is worn, any surface the wearer stands on 
will take on a muddy consistency, becoming a highly viscous liquid 
version of the original material. SCP-3446 and its wearer will sink 
further into the surface, and may become completely submerged. 
This happens regardless of surface depth, and it is noted that 
wearers do not reappear out of the other side of the surface. 


While in the process of sinking, the subject may move around as if 
moving through mud or water, allowing them to wade through the 
floor. The anomalous effects continue to follow them, allowing for 
consistent motion. Once SCP-3446 moves far enough away from a 
location, the surface will revert to its original state and shape. As 
long as the surface maintains its anomalous properties, other 
objects may be lowered through it as well as SCP-3446. 


Addendum: Testing has confirmed that when using SCP-3446, 


subjects sink into an extradimensional space, designated 
SCP-3446-1. SCP-3446-1 does not possess breathable air, and 
instead has an atmosphere made of an unidentified transparent 
liquid with large amounts of suspended particulate matter, and 
relatively high viscosity. The terrain of SCP-3446-1 is almost entirely 
compromised of mud, and no ambient light has been observed in 
SCP-3446-1 aside from light produced by the bioluminescent 
organisms inhabiting it.

Exploration Audio Log Transcript 
Date: 7/22/ 

Objective: Exploration of SCP-3446-1 
Subjects: D-10334, SCP-3446 


Notes: D-10334 has been equipped with 
SCP-3446, a facemask with respiratory gear and 3 
hour air supply, a wetsuit, a waterproof flashlight 
with an output of 2200 lumens, and an audio 
recorder. 1100m of retractable cable was also 
attached to D-10334 and SCP-3446. Exploration 
was overviewed by Dr. Sambre. 


[BEGIN LOG] 
Dr. Sambre: Alright. Did you turn the recorder on? 


D-10334: Yep. You sure you're gonna be able to 
get the audio from inside there? 


Dr. Sambre: Yes, earlier tests have shown that 
transmission is possible, but now we're moving on 
to full exploration. 


D-10334: And that's where | come in. 


Dr. Sambre: Correct. Now, we've briefed you on 
the abilities of SCP-3446 so you know what to 
expect. Remain calm as you're sinking, and do not 
return before we instruct you to. Is that 
understood? 


D-10334: Yes ma'am. Should | put 'em on now? 
Dr. Sambre: Please proceed. Good luck. 


D-10334 dons SCP-3446, and the floor begins to 
liquefy. D-10334 steadily sinks downwards for 
roughly a minute before total submersion. 


Dr. Sambre: D-10334, you are now within 
SCP-3446-1. Please report your surroundings. 


D-10334: Damn, it's dark, even with the flashlight. 
I, uh, can still see, so | guess it's more like I'm 
underwater than under... mud. Like I'm at th’ 
bottom of the ocean. The floor's still pretty gooey, 
and everything's cloudy though. Don't think I'm 
sinking anymore. | can see about... 4 meters 
ahead? 


Dr. Sambre: Okay. Please proceed in any 
direction. Keep us updated on what's happening. 


D-10334: Sure thing. 


D-10334: ...Yecchh, it's still like moving through 
glue. I'm going downhill now, so | guess this place 
isn't flat. I've seen a couple rocks on the ground, 
but I'm pretty sure they're just rocks. 


Dr. Sambre: Collect one anyways, please. 
D-10334: Okay, okay... Whoa! 
Dr. Sambre: What is it? 


D-10334: I-I'm fine, just startled. Some little critter 


scooted out from under the rock. Long and pale 
with all kinds of legs and feelers, looked like it was 
covered in snot. Nasty. 


D-10334: ...| have to try and catch it, don't I. 


Dr. Sambre: If you can. If it's already gone, then 
just proceed onwards. 


D-10334: Yeah, it burrowed back down into the 
mud. No way I'm going after it. Hmm. There's 
some kinda seaweed... moss... stuff growin’ over 
here. I'll grab some of that. Don't plants need light 
to grow though, Doc? 'Cause it's dark as anything 
down here. 


Dr. Sambre: Normally they do, but normally rubber 
pants don't send you into an extradimensional 
swamp. Please proceed. 


D-10334: Heh, yeah. 


D-10334 continues walking for several more 
minutes without reporting anything. 


D-10334: Oh, there's something there. Finally. 
Looks like coral made out of rust. Oh hell, it's 
growing off of some creature's bones. 


Dr. Sambre: Please collect a sample of both. 
D-10334: I'll try. 

D-10334: Gah! 

Dr. Sambre: D-10334? Are you in danger? 


D-10334: D-don't think so... whatever the stuff is, 
it's growing towards the light. And fast, it's puttin’ 
bamboo to shame here. Doc, do ya think it's eating 
the light or something? 


Dr. Sambre: It is a possibility, but we don't know 
for sure. And if the place is so dark, it's strange it 
would develop such an ability. For now, steer clear. 
The sample can wait. 


D-10334 proceeds away from the structures in 
silence for several more minutes. 


D-10334: Yo! Doc! | see somethin’ else... another 
light? 


Dr. Sambre: Please investigate. 


D-10334: Sure... oh, geez, it's... uh... best | can 
say is it looks like one'a those angler fish things? 
Creepy as hell. 


Dr. Sambre: Can you describe it in detail? 


D-10334: Okay. It's about the size of a football, 
swimmin' at about head-height. It's got a big, see- 
through bag sitting on its forehead, filled with little 
glowing things. They're, uh, moving around in 
there. | can't tell how long it is, there's this big 
scraggly beard thing coming out of its belly and 
dragging behind it. | think | see claws somewhere 
in it, too. | can't tell if it has eyes, but | can see th’ 
mouth way more clearly than I'd like. Jesus, those 
teeth are like nails, and I'm pretty sure its got three 
rows of them. Brrrr. 


D-10334: Now it's eyein' my flashlight. Maybe it 
thinks it found a lady friend, heh. 


Dr. Sambre: If it's distracted, please attempt to 
capture it. 


D-10334: Ma'am, there's no way I'm putting my 

fingers anywhere near that. Tell you what, it's still 
following the light, so when | get back pass me a 
net and I'll try to get it—Oh lord. There's a swarm 


of thingies coming after me now. 
Dr. Sambre: Thingies? 


D-10334: Whatever they are, they've got fins and 
spindly legs and big needle noses and there's 
about a billion of 'em. Oh crap, if one of those 
things sticks me I'll- 


Dr. Sambre: Please remain calm. Back away, and 
try turning off your light. 


D-10334: Okay, okay. Okay. | don't feel any bites, 
so | think it worked. They're mobbing the fish now, 
though. | guess it has light too... oh geez, they're 
taking bites out of each other like mad. It's eating 
them just as fast as they're eating it... I'm gonna be 
sick. Can | come back now, Doc? I've got the rock 
and the plants and stuff. 


Dr. Sambre: You can head back to the starting 
point, but don't return to the surface just yet. Try 
heading off in another direction for a while. 


D-10334: O-okay. Oh man, now the coral stuff is 
there too, it's growing around them like a net... 
must've been brought by the light. 


D-10334 walks back with the guidance of the cable 
for several minutes, then walks in another direction 
for several minutes, remaining silent. 


D-10334: D-Doc... I'm feelin’ kinda sick... | haven't 
seen anything n-new in a while... can you pull... 
me... b-back... now? 


D-10334 faints, and is pulled back to the surface 
by the cable. Upon return, several large parasitic 
organisms are found affixed to his back, arms and 
neck. Medical examination determined the 
organisms had injected a numbing agent before 


attachment, to avoid detection. The submerged 
portions of the cable are also found to be covered 
in barnacle-like growths. 


Among the growths was a portion of the coral-like 
structure reported by D-10334, which began 
rapidly growing towards the light fixtures, 
eventually breaking them. While it grew, it began to 
output large amounts of the fluid filling 
SCP-3446-1. It and the fluid were successfully 
contained and placed in a lightproof box. 


The parasites were successfully removed from 
D-10334 and placed in a storage tank. D-10334 
made a successful recovery and was reassigned.
