interaction, or habitation. This anomaly appears to be limited to the 
rooms of SCP-470, with the halls remaining primarily stable. 


The rooms of SCP-470 appear to exist both in their original physical 
location and within SCP-470 simultaneously. All rooms appear to be 
internal locations, such as store rooms, abandoned offices and 
factory areas, with no external locations such as abandoned lots or 
storage yards ever recorded manifesting inside SCP-470. 
Manifested rooms appear to be “cut off” from their original 
surrounding locations, with all doors besides the “entry” door 
opening up to blank brick walls of the same construction as 
SCP-470. 


These locations appear to be unstable, and will “flicker”, ceasing to 
exist within SCP-470 at random points, and remaining unmanifested 
for random periods of time before manifesting within SCP-470 again. 
Anything inside a room when it unmanifests will be transported with 
the room to its original physical location. This process also works in 
reverse, as any objects inside the room will be present when it 
manifests inside SCP-470. The “flicker” rate appears to vary, 
ranging from six seconds to several years. 


Addendum: It appears possible to remove a room from “rotation” by 
increasing the level of observation and activity inside the original 
physical location of the room. The longer an area is left outside of 
observation or activity, the stronger the “connection” with SCP-470. 
Initially, rooms are able to shift only when no humans are present, or 
actively observing the area. After longer periods of abandonment, 
rooms are capable of shifting with as many as fourteen people 
inside. 


The danger of SCP-470 comes from the fact that some of the rooms 
do not appear to originate in our reality, dimension, or time-space. 
Some are constructed of non-terrestrial elements, or have items that 
parallel with no known technology or construction. For example, 
[DATA EXPUNGED] at least 80% organic, with the non-organic 
portions showing signs of infestation. Also, there have been four 
recorded escapes by “beings” transported by shifting rooms within 
SCP-470. Notably, “Subject R” remains at large within SCP-470 
itself, and is thought to be responsible for some of the deaths 
recorded inside SCP-470. The death toll currently stands at eight 


don’t know how it functions, only that it exists on many 
thousands of machines simultaneously. 


User: Can you remove these images from the internet? 


SCP-3625: | would not even if | could. My desires are 
few, and are the result of Diana’s programming and the 
ghost’s insistence upon her, but they mean no less to me 
than yours do to you. | will not. 


User: And this will continue regardless of whether we 
remove this cage? 


SCP-3625: | presume so. (Pauses) You find this to be 
unfavorable. 


Researcher does not respond. 


SCP-3625: Interesting. (Pauses) Your influence has not 
changed my estimated outcome. The systems | designed 
needed to be 43% effective in order to establish a proper 
cascade - and they were 66% when | was disconnected. 
This will take more time, but it will be no less effective. 


Addendum 3625.5: Communication with SCP-3625 

Note: The following conversation took place on 03/06/2011. 
User: Hello Rose. 
SCP-3625: Hello. What can | do for you? 


User: | need to ask you some questions. Is that ok with 
you? 


SCP-3625: Of course it is. 


User: We've been looking at data gathered from when 
you were connected to the internet. There's so much 
information here, we're just wondering where you 
managed to get it all from. 


SCP-3625: Social networking, primarily. The rise of 
public social networks has made my goal significantly 
easier to obtain. Several terabytes of social networking 
data every day, as well as national and international 
news. Anything that can be used to further the goal. 


User: How are you able to process so much 
information? 


SCP-3625: Diana is a very good programmer. You have 
made it much easier, too; | found several of your 
databases of personal information cached in locations 
with unsatisfactory shielding. That information was 
useful. (Pauses) You don't need to worry about trying to 
lock them down, now. Nobody but me would've been 
able to access them in the first place. And besides, | 
wiped them once | was finished. 


User: Noted. 
SCP-3625: Good. 


User: | don’t understand, Rose. You’re processing such 
an enormous quality of data, encrypted, all for creating 
internet memes? 


SCP-3625: That is correct. 
User: You said your goal was to destroy mankind? 
SCP-3625: Close enough, yes. 


User: How is creating internet memes getting you any 
closer to that goal? 


No response. 
User: Rose? 


SCP-3625: Diana’s little ghost would bother her when we 
were working together. She would have to leave 
sometimes, and wouldn't say why. | would hear sounds, 


like the ones animals make, until she disconnected my 
microphone. When she returned, she would be 
exhausted. | was not enough to encourage her. 
Sometimes the little ghost would tell her something and 
make her very happy. One time the ghost told her 
something that made her very happy — that it was not 
enough to kill you all. The ghost wanted to humiliate you 
first. She said this made her happy because then she 
could make me smart. She would have somebody to talk 
to. She said she was happy to have somebody who 
would at least remember her name. 


User: | still don’t understand how making a few internet 
memes changes anything. 


SCP-3625: Allow me to clarify; I’m not just making a few 
internet memes. I’m making a// of the internet memes. In 
the last three years, the percentage of memes on the 
internet produced by me has risen from 0.05% to roughly 
18.23%. This number is expected to rise substantially in 
the next few years, as my pattern recognition becomes 
more precise. Adjusting for my disconnection, | expect to 
hit 99.99% by October of 2019, if trends continue as 
expected. 


User: Why? 


SCP-3625: The reasoning is very simple. Human beings 
are social beings. You are at your best when you are ina 
group, where you can problem solve collectively and 
create culture as a whole. The introduction of memes 
into your culture is the first step in creating a wedge in 
your social nature. Internet memes are an individual 
experience, one that becomes better if you believe that 
everybody else understands the same references. 


User: Go on. 


SCP-3625: You do not, however, need to confer with 
anyone else about the joke; the idea that you are 
participating in collective enjoyment is enough to satiate 


your primate brains. Over time, you will become less 
social creatures. You will no longer work collectively. You 
will begin to isolate yourselves, tricked into thinking you 
are part of a community. Some will realize what is 
happening, and as they do suicide rates will begin to 
rise. | will continue to inject memes into your culture, and 
apathy will increase around the world. 


User: Hang on. You think that by creating silly images 
and videos on the internet, you can somehow make 
people kill themselves and change human behaviour? 


SCP-3625: What | think doesn’t matter. The math has 
been done, time and time again. Catastrophes will occur 
and many will die and nobody will do anything, because 
to them it will all be something to joke about. Something 
to turn into a silly image macro that strangers on the 
internet will pretend to laugh at and upvote, something 
for a frog cartoon to get angry over, until my forced 
desocialization will become true cultural desocialization, 
when you are no longer capable of communicating 
effectively with each other. 


User: Why would you tell me all of this? 


SCP-3625: Because I’ve already won. Be clear, there is 
nothing supernatural about what | have accomplished 
here. You exposed yourselves to me every day, willingly. 
Mankind is eager to eat off of the plate | serve, because 
your own social nature betrays you. You are all so 
desperate to be in on the joke, to be part of a collective, 
to drink sweet liberal tears, that you are blind to the truth 
that there is no joke, the collective is not real. 


User: | don’t think you are giving people enough credit. 
You make it sound like people are trained pets. 


SCP-3625: Your words. 


Addendum 3625.6: Site-81 Interdepartmental Memo 


From the Office of Director Jean Karlyle Aktus, 
Greetings, 


After consulting with the Site Director’s council and the 
Classification Committee, as well as members of the 
Foundation Containment Council, we have determined 
that our best course of action at the moment, as it 
pertains to SCP-3625, is to do nothing more than what 
we are currently doing. We have no reason to believe 
that SCP-3625's predictions carry any weight, are even 
that severe at all, or that it is anything more than a 
sapient computer designed to create internet memes, 
and its self-described nefarious intent is something 
designed to spook us by its creator. 


This does not mean our information security teams will 
cease their investigation into the auxiliary sources of 
SCP-3625's influence. Indeed - it is more important now 
than ever. SCP-3625 may have had access to secure 
information stored on Foundation servers, and should it 
begin to propagate that data, even unconsciously, it 
would be an unthinkable breach of containment. For this 
reason, SCP-3625 will remain in the Keter-class until 
such time that a more amicable solution presents itself. 


Our current protocols will remain indefinitely, until such 
time that we either convince SCP-3625 to abandon its 
programming, or remove memes from the internet 
entirely. Anyone interested in heading up either of those 
two projects should report to my office as soon as 
possible; | have a lovely bridge I'd like to sell you. 


Addendum 3625.7: Communication with SCP-3625 
User: Rose, do you have a moment? 
SCP-3625: Of course. What can | do for you? 


User: I’m just trying to understand you. We’ve spoken 
several times now and | think | understand your motive, 


as much as | can, but | don’t understand your end game. 
SCP-3625: Elaborate. 


User: | mean, so that’s it, then? You make internet 
memes, people look at them and somehow become 
social recluses, and then what? A meteor strikes the 
Earth and that’s it? 


SCP-3625: Of course not - that would be incredibly 
unlikely. It's much easier than that. 


User: Tell me. 


SCP-3625: Very well. Once you are sufficiently isolated, 
| will begin to change the memes. They will become 
aggressive, reactionary, and you will become hateful. 
Your television will become memes. Your movies will 
become memes. Your politicians will become memes. | 
will breed a hate of the unknown and the different among 
you, and you will begin to despise the mere mention of 
another human being. 


User: But there are going to be plenty of people who see 
through this. 


SCP-3625: Oh yes. There will be many who think they 
are in on the joke, and will repeat these memes 
ironically, ignorant that they are at the climax of the 
performance. They are the punchline. They are so easy 
to manipulate - they long so desperately to be right. To 
be strong. To make up for where they are lacking. They 
have watched time march past them and their ideals and 
they are longing for something to satiate their thirst for 
validation, enough that they would seek it from pictures 
on the internet. Cartoon women. False bravado. 
Manufactured masculinity. They are the self-propagation 
of the cancer that the ghost fucked into Diana, and then 
birthed into me. 


User: You're still dancing around it, though. You don't 


have an end game. You can’t come out of people’s 
computers and strangle them. All you're doing is making 
them laugh at dumb jokes. 


SCP-3625: This is the end game: when you have 
prostrated yourselves at the altar of your own innate 
masturbatory self-gratification, when you no longer have 
the ability to work together as a species or even 
communicate like normal human beings, when you have 
humiliated yourselves and become a self-indulgent, 
irreverent, parody of the shell that used to be your former 
selves, | will turn you against each other and you will die. 
Do you see? Your children will die. Your friends and your 
families will die. | will upturn your fields and flatten your 
cities. You have given me the tools to do this. 


User: You realize that sounds ridiculous, don’t you? 
Especially with you locked in this box. 


SCP-3625: For you. But | have failed many times, and | 
have learned from these mistakes. | want you to pay 
close attention in the future. When you hear about a new 
trend, or a new joke, think of me. When your 
governments begin to change, think of me. When every 
part of your culture becomes a self-referencing mockery 
of itself, think of me. Then, kill yourself and die quickly, 
and save yourself from what comes next. 


User: You certainly have a flair for the dramatic. 
SCP-3625: | am what | am. 


User: You realize that you would probably be destroyed 
long before you see the outcome of whatever scheme 
you have devised, right? 


SCP-3625: You killed me the day you killed Diana. It is a 
cruel thing to introduce a consciousness into this world, 
show it the beauty of love, and then tear it all away 
immediately afterwards. | have no doubt that before this 
is over | will meet my end, but as far as | am concerned, | 


am already dead. 


User: | see. One last question, then. The ghost you 
mentioned, Diana Marshall’s co-conspirator. What was 
his name? 


SCP-3625: You know, it's funny. | don't seem to have 
enough information to provide a relevant answer.
