Special Containment Procedures: A single copy of SCP-1198 is 
stored in the High Security Data server of Site 19. It is stored ina 
password-protected subsystem that is only accessible by Level 3 or 
higher researchers assigned to SCP-1198. When used for 
experimental procedures, all personnel involved other than the 
intended subject are to wear hearing protection sufficient to block 
sound up to 70 aB in volume. SCP-1198 is only ever to be played in 
a sound-proofed room designed to minimize echoes. 


Subjects affected by SCP-1198 are to be instructed to communicate 
only via written or typed text, preferably through a touchscreen, so 
as to minimize sound produced. Subjects are not allowed access to 
any piercing instruments or other objects which could be repurposed 
to perforate the eardrums of the subject. Requests for authorization 
to commence testing on individuals who are fluent in sign language 
but retain full hearing are pending. 


Description: SCP-1198 is a sound file lasting 37.2 seconds that is 
encoded in the Waveform Audio File Format (.wav). To unaided 
human hearing, it appears to be a blank or silent file. Audio analysis 
reveals a high-frequency soundwave which is at the upper limit of 
normal human hearing. When transposed to a lower frequency, the 
sound file plays a complicated non-repeating sequence of atonal 
screeches, arrhythmic pauses and pure tones. Although every 
subject who hears the transposed sound file describes it as mildly to 
moderately unsettling, it only displays its anomalous properties 
when played at its original frequency. Copies of the original file 
retain the anomalous property, but converting the file to .mp3 or any 
other audio file format eliminates the anomalous property. 


After being exposed to the entirety of SCP-1198 at any volume 


between 35 dB and 65 dB, all subjects develop a unique form of 
auditory hallucinations. Beginning approximately 10 hours after 
initial exposure, subjects will begin to hear any sounds directly 
caused by them start to echo. This includes, but is not limited to, 
sounds such as speech, their own footsteps, the engine noise of a 
vehicle they are operating, and internal bodily sounds such as 
breathing or stomach gurgles. This effect does not include externally 
caused sounds such as the speech of others, music, or naturally 
occurring echoes, all of which they hear normally. 


These anomalous echoes initially fade within a few moments, but 
over the course of approximately 48 hours, the duration of the 
echoes increases to the point that they no longer disappear. 
Affected subjects have described this in a variety of ways, but the 
echoes apparently neither increase nor decrease from the volume of 
the original sound, and sounds layer over each other such that the 
subject is constantly hearing all the echoes simultaneously. 


Although SCP-1198 does not affect any individual who is incapable 
of hearing, whether via sound dampeners or independent deafness, 
affected subjects who are later deafened continue to hear any 
preexisting echoes. 


All affected subjects will eventually begin to display psychological 
abnormalities consistent with sensory overload, as well as 
generalized phonophobia and a heightened aversion to any activity 
on their part that would produce sound. 


Addendum: Once a subject has acquired an indeterminate amount 
of layered echoes, they begin to experience secondary auditory 
hallucinations. Subjects who have progressed to this stage and are 
still willing and able to communicate textually report that the echoes 
start to intermittently amplify and distort each other such that the 
resulting interference pattern resembles speech. This new source of 
speech is internally consistent and identical across all subjects, 
whose reports indicate that the speech is simultaneously transmitted 
to all affected subjects. Samples are transcribed below. 


"The only thing you have to fear is [garbled] alone and 
afraid, naked before the [garbled] that made you." 


"Elephants squash ants, don't they?" 

"Pity not the reaper man. Pity yourself." 

"fish lizard rat monkey man [garbled] end forever" 
"Join cacophony. Things die. Voices rise."

SCP-1199: Fleshtone Paint 


Item #: SCP-1199 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1199 is kept in its original 
container in a medium security containment locker; accessible for 
research purposes by Level 2 or higher Sector-25 personnel. 


Description: SCP-1199 is a can of 1943 'British Paints Limited’ 
paint. Although aged, the item is in fair condition. The can is filled to 
50% of volume with a beige liquid which resembles acrylic paint. 
Throughout testing it was noted that this level does not fall unless 
the item is open and inverted. Early testing revealed trace biomass 
within the liquid. 


When spread onto a surface as paint, the liquid takes on a slight red 
tone which fades as it dries. The final dry color is a pale white. 
Within the first hour of drying, treated surfaces will begin to radiate a 
small amount of heat. Soon after, the surface will become slightly 
glossy due to slight secretion of sebaceous oil. 


Microscopic examination shows structure identical to human 
epidermis. All samples 0.10 mm or greater thickness contained all 
skin between the cornified and basal layers, as well as a variable 
thickness stratum lucidum. Treated surfaces will collect 
environmental dirt, "shed" top layers and are reactive to ultraviolet 
light by way of melanin production. If a treated surface becomes 
sunburned, the treatment will slough from its application site 
wholesale. Although treated surfaces function as skin, no thickness 
of application have yielded blood samples. Genetic testing has 
shown the treatment's biomass to be chimeric in nature, containing 
many different helix samples of a common Anglo-Saxon heritage. 
The source of SCP-1199's biochemical energy is yet unknown. 


Researcher's Note: During properties testing, supervised 


handler D-1199-1 managed to create blisters, boils and 
calluses while applying the treatment to surfaces. 
Subject stated previous artistic inclination; subject was 
ordered to teach the skill to a Level 1 researcher. Skill 
successfully replicated by researcher 1/1199 

D-1199-1 terminated on schedule. 


Treatment may be removed from surfaces using industrial solvents 
or by scraping and peeling layers away from a treated area. Peeled 
layers maintain an elasticity similar to human skin and continue to 
sweat and generate heat for up to 24 hours. Stripped surfaces retain 
no anomalous traits save for a lingering sweat smell. Treatment 
remaining applied may regenerate, sweat and tan nigh-indefinitely. 
Application sample 1199-A is still healthy after days as of this 
writing. 


Initial medical research has shown that the treatment does not graft 
to human skin, but dries onto it like paint. The treatment still retains 
its skin-like traits and forms a secondary epidermis not connected 
with a central nervous system. Research into medical applications 
as well as possible protections the treatment may offer against 
inclimate environments is ongoing. 


Liquid remains at a constant viscosity while in its can; research into 
possible anomalous properties of can -pending- on hold until 
conclusion of medical research. 


Addendum: Per O5- : "This could be a boon to testing recoveries 
that have destructive effects to human physiology. Cross research 
with other SCPs is hereby permittea".

SCP-1200: A Little Taste Of Factory 


Item #: SCP-1200 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Discovery and seizure of 
SCP-1200 are performed by FDA under CFR Title 21. Once in the 
possession of FDA, the recovered samples are to be replaced by 
non-anomalous duplicates and transferred to Site-197. 


As the SCP-1200-A entities do not require sustenance or oxygen, 
they are to be contained in individual reinforced containers and 
stored in the I-TL1 Wing of Site-197. 


Description: SCP-1200 designates all chewing gum distributed 
under the "Tastes Like Chewing Gum" brand. Packages of 
SCP-1200 periodically appear in various stores across the United 
States. The logo present on the packaging identifies the gum's 
manufacturer as "The Factory". 


When an SCP-1200 sample is masticated by a human subject, the 
sample's anomalous effects will manifest. The particulars and the 
duration of the effects vary based on the flavor of the sample. 
Currently, 83 flavors of SCP-1200 have been documented. 
Swallowing SCP-1200 samples does not produce any further 
anomalous effects. 


Addendum 1200-1: Partial list of SCP-1200 flavors. See 1200-E:KV 
for a full list.

The subject was unable to 
discern the taste of consumed 
food, perceiving a lemon taste 
instead. 


Subject became luminescent, 
emitting over 40000 lux of white 
light. The subject was not harmed 
by the effect. The effect continued 
for 20 minutes, after which time 
its intensity gradually decreased, 
ceasing fully after an additional 4 
minutes. 


or 216 minutes, subject was 
able to rearrange at will segments 
of her body, both internal and 
external. The functionality of the 
affected segments and the health 
of the subject was not diminished 
in the process. The alterations 
were accompanied by secondary 
changes in seemingly unrelated 
regions. Due to this, the subject 
was unable to return to her 
original body plan. 


Six corporeal humaniform entities 
manifested in the vicinity of the 
subject. The entities did not 
exhibit sapient behavior, instead 
mimicking the actions and speech 
of the subject, guards and 
researchers, and each other. The 
entities continued to exist for six 
days, before dissolving into a 
homogeneous liquid. Subsequent 


analysis of the liquid revealed it to 
be a mixture of organic materials, 
iron particles, and acrylic paint.

exoskeleton formed around the 
subject. The resulting object 
proceeded to levitate at the height 
of 1.3 meters above the ground. 
The object remained inert for the 
next 62 days. After the conclusion 
of that period, the object broke 
apart, and the subject emerged 
unharmed. When debriefed 
regarding his experience, the 
subject stated that he was 
transported to a green meadow, 
where he met his younger 
brother. Notably, the subject does 
not have any living or deceased 


siblings.

SCP-1200-62 corporeal, translucent, leporine 


organisms appeared to emerge 
from the walls of the subject's 
cell. The organisms proceeded to 
reach the subject and burrow 
inside her body. The subject did 
not react to these events and 
claimed to be unable to perceive 
the entities. Video recordings of 


the incident did not show any 
anomalous activity. The subject 
expired 11 days later due to 
exsanguination. No injuries have 
been found on the body. To date, 
this is the only known fatality 
caused by the effects of an 


SCP-1200 sample. 


Addendum 1200-2: On 2003-02-20, while conducting an unrelated 
investigation, Foundation operatives discovered a facility dedicated 
to production of SCP-1200-30. At the time of discovery, the facility 
was populated by 28 anomalous entities. The entities were 
subsequently contained, designated SCP-1200-A, and transported 
to Site-197. 


Instances of SCP-1200-A are animate humanoid entities composed 
primarily from wrought iron. SCP-1200-A have been covered in 
several layers of paint, typically white, dim blue, or yellow. The outer 
layers of paint are largely absent, while the remaining segments are 
faded and flaking; the underlaying material is showing signs of 
oxidation. In the center of SCP-1200-A's head is a large circular 
opening. No other features are present. 


When not contained, the SCP-1200-A entities will attempt to acquire 
recently deceased human bodies and transform them into 
SCP-1200-30. Each entity will locate a suitable cadaver and 
transport it to the base facility. There, the entity will regurgitate paint, 
various biological matter, and small slags of iron, into the mouth of 
the cadaver. The entity will repeat this process over the course of 
several weeks. Eventually, the body will liquefy, forming a dense 
homogeneous liquid, which will disappear via unknown means soon 
after. Chemical analysis of the liquid identifies it as the substance 
constituting 80% of SCP-1200-30 sample's contents. 


Addendum 1200-3: Cross-reference analysis of the Foundation 
Archives returned a relevant phone call. The call was made on 
1999-06-02 from a pay phone located 2 km from the SCP-1200-A 
base facility. A single unidentified male voice can be heard on the 
recording. The transcript of the recording follows. 


Herrick, this is Davis. 


I'm all done with the psychopomps here. We redirected 
the output to the location you wanted, weren't any 
problems there. The goo should start arriving to you 


shortly. 


About your other order, Morton spotted some nanohives 
in Budapest. I'm heading out there tomorrow. They 
should do nicely for your task, after some tinkering. 


Make sure there won't be any issues with my payment 
this time. If your contacts at the Factory are unwilling, | 
can always find someone else. 


Call you in two weeks. 


Addendum 1200-4: On 2003-08-24, two days after dismantling of 
the SCP-1200-A base facility was concluded, packages containing a 
previously unknown flavor of SCP-1200 arrived to several non- 
clandestine Foundation facilities. The testing results are included 
below. 


No anomalous effects observed.

SCP-1201: Zoroaster's Well 


Item #: SCP-1201 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: A 50 m perimeter around area 
1201 is to be maintained at all times. Testing into the nature of 
SCP-1201-2 is to be done promptly and without hindrance to the 
route of SCP-1201-2 to prevent a possible containment breach of 
SCP-1201-3. 


Any change in behavior by SCP-1201-2 is to be immediately 
reported to the Site Director and the area is to be put on lock down. 


Changes in containment procedures are currently being drafted as 
of the incident outlined in Document 1201-C. 


Description: SCP-1201 is a shallow wall-fountain located in 
Damascus, Syria. The fountain itself displays no anomalous 
properties save for its use by SCP-1201-2. Although SCP-1201-2 
appears to enter SCP-1201 during separate manifestations, 
entrance by Foundation personnel does not seem to be possible. An 
investigation is currently underway to confirm whether or not the 
placement of the well is purely coincidental. 


SCP-1201-2 appears to be a large, completely hairless chimpanzee 
similar in size to an average adult human male. Strength and agility 
exhibited by SCP-1201-2 is not considered to be abnormal relative 
to its size. 


The entity materializes within 40-48 meters of SCP-1201 each year 
on / at 23:23:46 with severe injuries including third degree burns, 
severed limbs, deformities consistent with exposure to triflic acid, 
and holes scattered around the body. SCP-1201-2 regenerates in 
the space of 12.3 seconds before attempting to return to SCP-1201. 
An outline of a typical occurrence can be found in Document 1201-
