Result: 

Researchers saw another experiment conducted in the 

same room, 13 days before by Dr. Lowenstein on SCP- 
. The manifestation lasted 13 minutes, 15 seconds. 

Objects in the room which remained stationary at the 

time of the experiment did not appear, only those that 

changed position. Dr. Lowenstein later confirmed that he 

did perform those actions, and in the exact procedure as 

recorded when shown a digital recording of this test.

A reenactment of the maidservant's murder by the owner 
of the house. The image and sound were particularly 
clear. After the crime, was seen lifting the body 
over his shoulder and walking towards the location of the 
basement stairs. The image of proceeded to 
ascend toward the ceiling according to the location of the 
stairs in the basement, but their structure was not 
projected.

A man dressed as a mason from the era the house was 
built appeared, standing in front of the brick with a trowel, 


setting it into place. Approximately 3 meters behind him, 
a dark humanoid figure wearing a hooded black robe 
with a concealed face stood motionless. While the 
worker appeared in relatively good clarity, the dark figure 
was of noticeably lesser fidelity. It made no motion but 
appeared to be staring in the direction of the mason. 
When viewing a digital recording of the test, the black 
figure dubbed SCP-1042-1 was not seen.

Result: 

Three men dressed as groundskeepers appeared and 
proceeded to cross the room. Clothing and hairstyles 
seemed consistent with the mid twentieth century. Two 
instances of SCP-1042-1 also appeared. One directly 
adjacent to their path, one behind Dr. Thompson. The 
two younger men engaged in a brief discussion of the 
various ghost sightings and legends surrounding the 
house. The third, older man reprimanded them for 
believing in such things, and admonished them to get 
back to work. The three picked up gardening tools (the 
tools appeared in the projection the moment the workers 
made contact), and vanished. It should be noted that the 
location of the entity behind Dr. Thompson corresponds 
to solid earth behind the wall that originally contained 
SCP-1042.

Result: 

As Dr. Thompson was preparing this test, Dr. 

entered the room and conversed with Thompson for 
approximately 2 minutes. During this time, the sleeve of 
her lab coat contacted an Erlenmeyer flask, sending it 
into a work-sink where it broke along with several test 
tubes awaiting cleaning after one of Dr. Lowenstein's 
previously mentioned experiments with SCP-_ . After 


determining the correct parameters to play back this 
event and summoning his colleague for viewing of her 
actions, the image manifested as normal. However, 
moments before the flask was broken, SCP-1042-1 
appeared behind Dr. and moved the flask 4 
centimeters towards her arm. When the digital-recording 
of the playback was viewed, the figure did not appear, 
nor was the flask seen to move.

Result: 
One of the groundskeepers from the previous 
experiment appeared. As he crossed the area of 
SCP-1042's effect, SCP-1042-1 appeared, knelt down, 
and pushed a wooden apple crate 6 centimeters toward 
the man. The groundskeeper's left knee collided with the 
crate and he proceeded to fall forward onto a garden 
rake, the tines impaling his face in his right eye and left 
cheek. SCP-1042-1 stood upright and observed the man 
writhing on the ground. The scene stopped at this point. 
Examining local records indicate that the groundskeeper 
was . After this accident, confirmed to have

Result: 


A test scenario was created by Dr. Thompson and 
several other researchers moving through the room, 
displacing a series of objects on to the floor and 
performing various tasks such as throwing a softball or 
juggling for approximately 15 minutes. An electric current 
was applied to SCP-1042 during the recording phase. 
When the brick was activated for playback, 2 
SCP-1042-1 entities appeared in the corners of the 
room. Dr. Thompson examined the projection of one 
closely, attempting to discern its features for study. After 
3 minutes of observation, the figure turned toward 
Thompson and a voice was heard saying, "Please stop 
staring, it makes us frightfully uncomfortable." Startled, 
Thompson jumped away from the apparition nearly 
falling backwards. The figure then turned its attention 
back towards the recorded events. 

As before, upon viewing footage of the test, SCP-1042-1 
did not appear nor was it heard; Dr. Thompson simply 
appeared to be interacting with empty space. 


+ Show Notes on SCP-1042-1 


SCP-1042-1 appears as a tall humanoid figure, standing 
at a height of approximately 2.5 meters. Image fidelity of 
projections varies, but they have never been observed at 
the full clarity and opacity of other SCP-1042 projections. 
They appear to be clothed in black hooded robes. Facial 
features also appear to be obscured by a mask of the 
same sort of material. Hands are humanoid, with 5 digits, 
also covered in layers of black material. The exact nature 
of this clothing cannot be determined. 


These entities are seen in approximately 15% of 
SCP-1042 projections. 80% of these appearances 
consist of the figure standing motionless facing the 
subjects’ actions. In 20% of appearances, the entities 
interacted with subjects indirectly, relocating objects in 
the general vicinity to a slightly altered position, always in 
a fashion that would ensure that subjects made contact 
with these objects. The purpose of these actions is 


unknown. 


The only occurrence of SCP-1042-1 vocalizing is the 
above experiment log. We are unable to determine 
whether the entity was interacting with researchers in 
real time, or had predetermined our actions and 
performed the appropriate response during the recording 
phase. Given the nature of SCP-1042-1, it is possible 
that it may not perceive time in a strictly linear fashion; 
further testing of this hypothesis is recommended.

SCP-1043: Instant Structures 


Item #: SCP-1043 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1043 is to be held within a 
containment room in Storage Unit 9 at Site-33. The air humidity 
within the containment unit should not exceed 5% to prevent 
devaluation of SCP-1043, as well as a potential containment breach. 
Experimentation on SCP-1043 requires approval of level 3 
personnel due to limited amount available. 


Uncontained instances of SCP-1043-1 are to be left to proceed to 
completion; a mobile perimeter is to be established around them to 
prevent public exposure. Resulting SCP-1043-2 is to be demolished 
and rubble, along with the foundation of solidified SCP-1043-1 
removed, and stored at nearest Low-hazard Anomalous Materials 
Bulk Storage facility. 


A mobile perimeter is to be established around uncontained 
instances of SCP-1043-1 for the purposes of monitoring. If the 
emerging SCP-1043-2 does not resemble any of the forms 
described in Addendum 1043-1, the area extending to a radius of at 
least 200 metres from the edge of SCP-1043-1 in question is to be 
evacuated, and procedure 28-Surtur applied. Otherwise, the 
resulting SCP-1043-2 is to be demolished and rubble, along with the 
foundation of solidified SCP-1043-1 removed, and stored at nearest 
Low-hazard Anomalous Materials Bulk Storage facility. 


Description: SCP-1043 refers to approximately 31 134 sacks, 
labeled "MOLISOLUS MARK III" and numbers "I" to "V" in large red 
lettering. On the lower right corner of each sack is a green stamp 
detailing a winged arm holding a hammer, and the designation 
"APOLLODORUS CONSTRUCTION COMBINE". The sacks contain 
a grey-green powdery substance, which, if mixed with water and 
applied onto soil, recombines with it to form SCP-1043-1. 


SCP-1043-1 is a self-propagating soil anomaly, appearing similar to 
a pool of concrete. SCP-1043-1 at this stage has been shown to 
have remarkable surface tension, able to support pressures of up to 
40 kPa. 


If removed from the main pool, samples of SCP-1043-1 cease 
activity and coalesce, producing an isotropic grey solid of stiffness 
similar to concrete, but a far higher yield strength—Vickers hardness 
50 HD30—but otherwise lacking anomalous properties. Laboratory 
analysis has revealed the composition to be that of surrounding 
substrate with SCP-1043 acting as a resin matrix. Initially, an 
instance of SCP-1043-1 propagates at a rate of approximately m2/ 
hr , assimilating surrounding soil, until reaching a depth of cca. 1.5m 
and a final area of cca. 8 times the area covered by the resulting 
SCP-1043-2. 


After approximately hours, a number of ambulatory growths 
bearing outwards resemblance to human arms begin to form within 
SCP-1043-1. Once fully formed, the growths proceed to use 
SCP-1043-1, as well as occasionally salvage raw materials within 
the perimeter affected by SCP-1043-1 to construct a structure or 
object, labeled SCP-1043-2 (see Addendum 1043-1 for a list of 
SCP-1043-2 types known). After the construction is complete, 
leftover SCP-1043-1 retreats towards the centre and hardens, 
providing a foundation for the structure. 


Experimenting with decreasing the quantity of SCP-1043 used has 
shown the process to successfully complete, however, the base 
layer is proportionally thinner, and beyond a point characterized by 
the thickness of the transformed soil layer not exceeding cm, the 
process fails to complete. 


Addendum 1043-1: 
LIST OF SCP-1043-2 TYPES. 


Designation: SCP-1043-2-1 

Appearance: A smooth-walled rectangular building of 

base cca. 30x20 metres, and height of cca. 10 metres. 
The interior divides into two floors, each containing 41 
identical rooms, and one of about twice the size. The 


smaller rooms' walls and floor contain a number of 
protrusions bearing outward resemblance to shelves, 
bedding, and a table. The larger room's floor contains 
several holes cca. 25cm in diameter which terminate 
below the structure's base. The microstructure of most 
surfaces has been found to physically interfere with germ 
growth. 


Designation: SCP-1043-2-2 

Appearance: A semi-circular dome approximately 16 
metres in radius, with decorative elements resembling 
the architecture of Mussolini-era Italy. There are four 
entrances, located 90 degrees apart. The interior 
contains a raised podium, and approximately 500 
irregularly arranged seating places, connected via stairs. 
The internal walls and roof curve considerably and 
contain a large number of structural features. Analysis 
has shown the structure to possess excellent auditory 
properties. 


Incident 1043-1: 


On / /20 ,members of MTF Chi-4 "Brick Breakers" 
were dispatched to a supposed instance of SCP-836 
infestation in , Canada. However, on-site assessment 
has shown this to be an uncharacteristic instance of 
SCP-1043, spreading rapidly in an approximately 10 cm 
deep layer, and repurposing material within its perimeter 
to repeatedly construct what appeared to be several 
sections of a statue! and fuse them in a seemingly 
random arrangement, forming a mound approximately 

m in diameter. 

Procedure 28-Surtur used upon operative approval by 
Dr.G _— shown successful in halting SCP-1048-1 activity. 


Incident 1043-2: 


On / /20 ,araid onthe , a cOffee shop 
suspected to serve as a cover for "Are We Cool Yet?" 
activity related to the spreading of SCP-_ as a part of 
the recent "We are the 99 bottles" campaign. 


Among the items procured was a Moleskine notebook 
containing sketches resembling SCP-1043-1 and 
detailed drawings of structures resembling SCP-1018 , 
SCP-_ , as well as objects of seemingly impossible 
geometry. The drawings are dimensioned, and 
surrounded by stenographic markings, a number of yet- 
undeciphered symbols, as well as arbitrary content such 
as stylized sketches of common objects, and a drawing 
of a nude female identifiedas A P _ ,a freelance 
writer frequenting the same establishment. 

The notebook contains a number of fingerprint marks, 
which have been determined to consist of SCP-1043 
powder. 

Page 23 of the notebook shows a crossed out drawing 
with features similar to the structure encountered by MTF 
Chi-4 during Incident 1043-1. It is followed by a number 
of calculations, ending with "A=43.2[unknown 
symbol]**2i FUCK YEAH!" underlined twice. 

Scanned copies of the notebook's contents are available 
to personnel with 2-1043 clearance. 


Footnotes

metres long, with its fingers embedded into a spheroid, a square 
slab, and a [DATA EXPUNGED] cross-section.)

SCP-1044: The Contradictory Echo 


Item #: SCP-1044 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1044 is to be surrounded 
at all possible access points by signs in English and French warning 
of falling rocks, avalanches, landmines and dangerous animals. The 
area should be kept under periodic aerial surveillance and at least 
one member of personnel will be available on short notice to further 
discourage any non-personnel who choose to ignore the warnings. 


Description: SCP-1044 is located in a small, uninhabited valley in 
the Alpine region of France, located at oN, °E and measuring 
approximately 1.2km across and 0.6km wide at its broadest point. 


The properties of SCP-1044 were first encountered in 1968, after 
rumours of unusual sounding echoes began to spread through the 
local area. These reports ranged from the valley producing echoes 
that talked back, to [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


While the reported phenomena were widely dismissed as urban 
legend by local authorities, researchers were dispatched on 
03/06/20 to determine their veracity. The following are partial 
transcripts of the three investigations carried out over the course of 
the following two years: 


Experiment 1044-1 


Researcher A_ : How should we begin? 


Researcher F _ : Perhaps ‘hello?’ 
Researcher A_: [speaking loudly] Hello? 
Researcher F — :1 didn't get that. Try louder. 


Researcher A_: [shouting] Hello? 
SCP-1044: [Researcher A_'s voice, in a manner 
resembling an echo] Goodbye. 


Researcher F ~ : Did you hear that? That was 'Good-' 
Researcher A_: | got it. Let me try something else. 
[shouting] |s anybody down there? 

SCP-1044: //n the same manner as previous] ls anybody 
up here? 

Researcher F _— : [shouting] Yes. 

SCP-1044: [As an echo of Researcher F _ 's voice] No. 
Researcher A_ : Hold on. Try that again, as loud as 
possible. 

Researcher F _ : [shouting louder] Yes. 

SCP-1044: No. 

SCP-1044: [identically to Researcher F _ 's shout] Yes. 
Researcher A_: If the first echo is contradicting you, is 
the second echo contradicting the first echo? 
Researcher F — : Or the second echo was just my own 
echo, coming through late. 

Researcher A: Let's continue.
