Shortly after the big reveal, my associates took the 
liberty of photographing the scene. They then ran them 
through the Foundation's locator softwares, attempting to 
identify the location presented so suddenly before us, 
assuming that it was a real-world location. It was not. | 
realised then that the ocean looked false. It seemed to 


always ripple forward, into the distance, as if stuck on 
some kind of loop. 


I've included a small portion of the photograph for the 
time being. It has been verified as perfectly safe for 
viewing, and has had no emotional effect on me 
whatsoever. In fact, when | think about it, | don't even 
think it looks anything like what | saw yesterday. 


We'll be discussing this event at daily recapitulation 
meetings that begin next week, to which you have an 
obligation to attend. The most recent revision within the 
containment procedures cannot be stressed enough. No- 
one enters the chamber but disposable personnel. | am 
convinced that anyone, if they were in there with 
SCP-2152, could've opened that window if they wanted 
to.

SCP-2153: Charitable Clovers 


Item#: SCP-2153 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Between 25 and 50 live 
SCP-2153-1 specimens are to be kept in Site-101's greenhouse, 
and are to be cared for in an identical fashion to non-anomalous 
clovers. Infestations of SCP-2153 outside of containment are to be 
destroyed through herbicide application. 


Foundation web crawlers are programmed to censor references to 
SCP-2153-A. Research is ongoing on methods to block emails sent 
by SCP-2153-A. Members of the public who receive emails from 
SCP-2153-A may be administered Class-A amnestics on a case by 
case basis. 


A Foundation front organization will assume credit for humanitarian 
airdrops by SCP-2153-A. 


Description: SCP-2153 is a virus of unknown genus which infects 
members of the genus Trifolium (Clovers) and spreads via 
pollination. Infected clovers, designated SCP-2153-1, invariably 
have four or more leaves. 


Humans attempting to pick or otherwise damage SCP-2153-1 
instances will fail in some way unless they are carrying a method of 
monetary transaction capable of transferring a value of at least US 
$4. If a subject carrying the appropriate amount picks or otherwise 
damages an SCP-2153-1 instance, they will lose a value of US$4, at 
which point the instance will become physically identical to a non- 
anomalous clover. 


SCP-2153 is believed to have been engineered by an organization 
called Trifolium Charities, hereafter SCP-2153-A. SCP-2153-A is 
responsible for over humanitarian airdrops in various locations 


since 2005 containing both various humanitarian supplies and 
hundreds of preserved instances of SCP-2153-1, sealed in plastic 
sheets. 


SCP-2153-A will email subjects who have picked SCP-2153-1 
instances within 12 hours of either picking the instance or of an 
airdrop occurring. There is currently no known way to prevent these 
emails from being sent, and they will also be sent to email 
addresses created by subjects after picking SCP-2153-1 instances. 
However, individual emails may be deleted normally and will not 
reappear afterwards. 


Addendum: The following are sample emails from SCP-2153-A. 
The first was sent after picking an SCP-2153-1 instance, and the 
second was sent following an airdrop. Thus far, all emails received 
from SCP-2153-A are identical. Websites linked in the emails lead to 
404 pages.

SCP-2154: Space nowadays 


Item #: SCP-2154 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2154 is to be contained in 
the observatory situated in the secured area DN-633, with access 
granted to Level 3/2154 and 4/2154 personnel. 


Description: SCP-2154 is an optical telescope situated in an 
observatory near [REDACTED], Canada. Closer examination of its 
components reveals their manufacturing technology is consistent 
with those used in analogous projects during the 1940s. Information 
about the elements allowing the anomalous characteristics [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Using SCP-2154, it appears to be possible to observe celestial 
bodies in a state coinciding with the time of observation. This 
eliminates the limit factor of the speed of light which in ordinary 
circumstances leads to a substantial delay in receiving the visual 
information from remote parts of space. At the moment, the data 
received from SCP-2154 is undergoing active examination and is 
being compared to modern scientific models. 


Attention clearance 4/2154 personnel: the fact that you are able 
to see this text verifies your security clearance and access to 
the documentation below. 


The data received from SCP-2154 significantly differs from the 
modern scientific concept of space. Specifically, 72% of all 
cataloged astronomical objects are not present in observations 
made through SCP-2154. Two hypotheses can be made based on 
this: 


Star cluster in Monoceros constellation: first shot taken with 


telescope, second - with SCP-2154 


1. For some reason the number of stars has decreased substantially 
while their light traveled to Earth. 


2. There is opaque matter that obstructs the view of a considerable 
number of space objects. 


Regardless of which hypothesis is correct, the data received from 
SCP-2154 demands significant reconsideration of modern 
astrophysical concepts. 


Addendum 2154-1: / / Dr Spencer discovered that the degree of 
star visibility in galaxies M59, M60 and M89 in Virgo constellation is 
fluctuating. Based on this, he concluded that in these areas, there is 
a cloud of matter (hereinafter SCP-2154-A) which absorbs light, 
making direct observation impossible. SCP-2154-A is in constant 
motion and its surface has expanded by % since first observation. 
Later, SCP-2154-A was detected in other areas of space. The 
analysis of the phenomenon's dynamics, as well as projections of 
stellar object movement has shown that the influence of this matter 
on their visibility does not completely explain the deviation between 
the real and hypothesized quantity. Thus both hypotheses have 
been proven correct, specifically, that a fraction of the stars is 
concealed by an unknown matter and another fraction has indeed 
disappeared. The correlation between these two factors, as well as 
the actual size of SCP-2154-A, is currently being approximated. 


Considering that in recent years, the phenomenon has already 
appeared in galaxies within 3.6 megaparsecs of Earth!, Dr Spencer 
has proposed reclassifying SCP-2154-A as a separate Keter-class 
object.

SCP-2155: The Mexica Government in Exile 


Item #: SCP-2155 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Eta-10- 
LatAm ("No los veo") is constantly monitoring the internet for any 
online document in any major language that refers to a "Restored 
Aztlan", "New Tenochtitlan" or "Cem Anahuac" for traces of 
SCP-2155. 


Should any minor infection vector be located, Class A and B 
amnestics are authorized to neutralize the outbreak. In the case of a 
major infection, especially if documents or pamphlets encourage the 
worship of Mesoamerican deities, along with armed uprising, 
Protocol 1907 "Rio Blanco" is to be enacted. 


Description: SCP-2155 is a memetic cognitohazard, which makes 
anyone infected believe in the existence of a "Government of 
Tenochtitlan in Exile", designated SCP-2155-1. 

Given that more than 450 years have passed since the fall of 
Tenochtitlan, the actual existence of SCP-2155-1 is considered 
highly improbable. Under Revision, see addendum E525 -Dr. 


Depending on the ethnicity and nationality of those infected, it is 
estimated that between 35% and 90% of those infected will become 
sympathetic to the cause espoused by the documents containing 
SCP-2155. Those that remain neutral or hostile to the cause 
become asymptomatic carriers?. 

Notably, the discussion of SCP-2155-1 by non carriers, does not 
cause infection. 


The rest of the infected subjects, if left untreated, will actively 
attempt to spread SCP-2155 through word of mouth, pamphlets, 
impromptu public speeches, and more recently, websites and social 
media postings. Documents spreading SCP-2155 have been 


detected in Nahuatl, Spanish, English, Mandarin and 


Most such documents claim that the heirs to the Mexica Empire, 
along with a sizable portion of the priesthood and warrior castes, 
went into hiding in 15 and have waged a guerrilla war against the 
Spanish Empire first, and then the governments of Mexico, the 
United States of America, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. 
Two recorded instances claimed that Maximilian of Hapsburg had 
brokered a marriage alliance with SCP-2155-1 but that he was killed 
before it could be finalized. 


Most documents containing SCP-2155 in the last decade refer to 
Ill, as the current Huéy Tlahtoani, or emperor. Others, may 

refer to other supposed leaders of the resistance, so-called 

tlahtoqueh, meaning "speakers" including ; , or 


Information between instances of SCP-2155 infections may be 
conflicting, but almost all of them denounce the "oppression of the 
people by the European invaders" and call all indigenous peoples of 
the continent to "actively resist and hinder the usurpers." Documents 
have advocated actions ranging from passive resistance and hunger 
strikes, up to terrorist attacks, suicide bombings and [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Documents containing SCP-2155 identify as "the invaders" all kinds 
of establishment organizations, including the governments of the 
territories claimed by SCP-2155-1, the Catholic Church, the major 
drug cartels and, on one recorded case, the Foundation. 


Some SCP-2155 containing documents claim that SCP-2155-1 has 
garnered the recognition and support of "brethren sovereignties in 
resistance" of such nations as Nuwaubia, Yamato Damashi, Bobo 
Ashanti or the . Interviews with members of these 
separatist groups have yielded no results so far. 


If an infection vector is left alone for more than days, the 
documents and speeches by SCP-2155 carriers will progressively 
become more complex and no longer be solely political in nature. 
Such websites and documents will start calling for the return to the 
worship of Mesoamerican deities, in particular Tezcaltipoca and 


Huitzilopoctli. 


Starting in 19 , an increasing number of SCP-2155 cases have 
called for the destruction of the Cathedral and for the 
establishment of a "Temple of the Fifth Sun"2 to these deities. This 
has increased in the last decades as the main vector of infection has 
changed to online documents, instead of pamphlets and speeches. 


Addendum E525: According to document SCP-2155-E525, 
retrieved on October , 20 , the leaders of SCP-2155-1 went into 
hiding into Mictlan3 and call for the resumption of worship at the 
Temple of the Fifth Sun and the restoration of "the flower wars" to 
provide suitable sacrifices to restore SCP-2155-1's power. 


Excerpt from document SCP-2155-E525 - 
Level 4 access required. 


"People of the Sun, race of bronze! 

Discard your chains and break your bonds! 
You are called into greatness, into the five 
pointed star! 

Reject the white man, his god, his greed! 
Take the form of the nahual, and join us in the 
other side! 


[DATA EXPUNGED - POSSIBLE COGNITOHAZARD] 


Huitzilopochtli the warrior hummingbird thirsts 
for your blood! 

Tlaloc who nourishes the earth rains his 
blessings upon you! 

Coatlique the snake is both your mother's 
womb and the grave! 

Quetzalcodatl the feathered serpent calls for 
you to follow him! 

Tezcaltipoca the smoking mirror has many 
things to teach you!" 


[DATA EXPUNGED - POSSIBLE COGNITOHAZARD] 


Tloque Nahuaque! Lord of the Near and the 


objects is brought into its active zone, an area of indeterminate 
shape extending no more than 7.3 m or less than 2.5 m from the 
center of the item. The active zone's precise extent and shape 
change from minute to minute. An Eligible Group consists of 5 or 
more identical or nearly-identical inanimate objects: "nearly- 
identical" items are those that a casual observer cannot easily 
distinguish based on attributes other than overall color. 


Eligible Group members animate when brought into the active zone, 
displaying unusual flexibility and powers of levitation and 
locomotion. They acquire a few basic instincts, including self- 
preservation and variously complex flocking behavior. Object flocks 
range from simple separation-alignment-cohesion groups, like flocks 
of birds or shoals of fish, to aggregates involving role specialization 
and formation of discrete subunits. Animated objects also, 
secondarily to flocking, tend to behave in ways thematically 
appropriate to an object of their type: umbrellas form large shades, 
chairs make themselves available as seating, knives seek out 
objects to cut, etc. 


An item separated from the "flock" wanders aimlessly or searches 
for other flock members. Approximately 4 hours after separation, the 
item goes dormant and loses all apparent unusual properties; at this 
point, reuniting it with its group renders it animate again. 25 minutes 
after going dormant, it becomes permanently inanimate, losing all 
unusual properties and reverting to a normal object of its type. 
Whether intact or missing members, a flock de-animates 
permanently 24 +/- 2 hours after initial exposure to SCP-243. Flocks 
displaying complex shoaling behavior frequently fuse upon 
deanimation into aggregates representative of that behavior. 


Addendum: SCP-243 came to the Foundation's attention following 
a series of suspicious incidents involving Animation Studios. The 
unusually fluid, "natural" motion depicted in the cartoons produced 
would not ordinarily have attracted attention, but [DATA 
EXPUNGED] every desk lamp in the facility [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
The effects wore off in the usual 24 hours. Class-A amnestics were 
administered to the animators involved and their families, all of 
whom remain under surveillance. Future productions are to be 
monitored carefully for evidence of further interference. 


Nigh! He is in you! He is you! 
Additional funding is requested to further investigate.
