D-99 becomes increasingly frantic in his 
attempts to regain control of the vehicle, to no 
avail. He attempts to kick the glass from the 
windows, but is unable to break it. The vehicle 
comes to a halt directly in front of the 
sarcophagus, which is covered in a large 
number of carved symbols; most prominently, 
in the centre, is the Elevix Electronics logo. 


SCP-3122: You have reached your 
destination. 


D-99 begins to speak, but is immediately cut 
off. Analysis of the video footage shows 13 
frames of a substance resembling black 
smoke emanating from the sarcophagus and 
heading directly for the vehicle; it passes 
through the roof and windows before 
completely enveloping D-99. The smoke then 
recedes back into the sarcophagus; D-99 is 
gone. The vehicle reverses and drives away 
from the temple. 


Approximately 37 hours after contact was first lost with D-99, a GPS 
ping was received from his vehicle; it was found at the originally 
programmed destination. No trace of D-99 was found.

SCP-3123: Insult To Injury 


Item #: SCP-3123 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All civilians who enter the 
municipality of Towin are to be monitored by onsite Foundation 
personnel. Should civilians be exposed to SCP-3123, they are to be 
amnesticized, and released with an appropriate cover story. 


Only personnel who have been screened for good behavior may be 
allowed near Towin. Any personnel working on SCP-3123 who 
require disciplinary action for poor conduct are to be immediately 
reassigned. Any attempts to provoke the inhabitants of Towin are 
prohibited. 


Description: SCP-3123 is a phenomenon that occurs in the town of 
Towin, CO, where individuals will be spontaneously injured after 
causing emotional distress, or acting in emotionally abusive patterns 
toward another individual. The severity of the injury is correlated to 
the severity of emotional distress caused. This injury will manifest 
only if the distressed victim perceives a discrete individual to be 
responsible for their distress. 


Towin has a population of roughly 4000, and is located 30 
kilometers from the next nearest population center. It is surrounded 
on all sides by mountains, which hinder any effort to enter or leave. 
The inhabitants of Towin (who understand the existence of, and are 
affected by SCP-3123) have very little interaction with civilians 
outside of the municipality, as a consequence of their geographical 
isolation. However, Towin still managed to cultivate a reputation for 
being highly hospitable before containment. It is believed that this 
reputation is an indirect consequence of SCP-3123. 


When asked about their views on the anomaly, most inhabitants 
note that the phenomenon has always been a part of their lives, and 


have not bothered to question it. When asked about why they stayed 
in Towin, inhabitants cited their family's history living in the town and 
the close-knit community. 


SCP-3123 was discovered by the Foundation in 1968 when Agent 
DuBlon stopped to rest in Towin during a vacation road trip. During 
his stay, DuBlon experienced a spontaneous concussion. Unable to 
determine the cause of the injury, DuBlon reported the experience to 
the Foundation. 


Addendum SCP-3123-A: 


Below is a sample of logged injuries caused by SCP-3123. For the 
full log please contact the senior researcher in charge of SCP-3123. 


Year Name of Victi Injury Cause/Notes 
(Age) 
1968 Daniel Hedler | Forced removal Injury occurred 
(63) of two teeth after Hedler 


(both molars) | offended Joshua 
Chubra by using 


a racist slur. 
1973 Gabriel Ernst | Broken femur | Injury occurred 
(32) after Ernst 
insulted the 
recently 


deceased father 
of Tyler Brown. 


1975 Heidi Yent (29) Forced removal Injury occurred 
of the nails on| after Yent made 
both index repeated 
fingers comments about 

the weight of 
Erica Dutnam. 
Yent claimed 


later that this 
was a joke, and 
was not intended 
to offend. 
1984 Danica Slentler Hair ripped from Injury occurred 
(37) the scalp after Slentler 


turned down Eric 
Tellur's invitation 
to join him for a 
movie date. 
1989 Helen Terith (1/7) Concussion Injury occurred 
after Terith 
performed poorly 
on a test in 
school. When 
asked about the 
injury, Terith 
blamed herself. 


While manifestations during experiments still occur as expected, 
natural manifestations have decreased since SCP-3123's 
observational period 34 years ago. As of this writing, approximately 
one manifestation a year needs treatment from Foundation medical 
personnel!. 


Addendum SCP-3123-B: On 12/14/1989, Foundation personnel 
discovered a section of forest on the outskirts of Towin with slips of 
paper taped to some of the trees. Of the slips recovered, only 15% 
contained writing in a legible state. Microphones and cameras were 
hidden throughout the area for future surveillance. Below is a partial 
list of recovered slips: 


I'm Alice Felucia, and | hurt my family after they did not 
let me go sledding with my friends. | was sick, and they 
were looking out for me. | apologize to all my friends and 
family for my wrongdoing. 


| am Evan Eldebar, and | hurt my friends while we were 
playing. | thought they were making fun of me, however it 
was obvious that they were joking. | am sorry, Jeremy, 
Tyler and Dave. | hope you can walk again someday. | 
apologize to all my friends and family for my wrongdoing. 


My name is Daniel Shou, and | hurt my teacher after | did 
poorly on a test. This was the fifth time this month this 
has happened. | am sorry Mrs. Delilah. | apologize to all 
my friends and family for my wrongdoing. 


| am Winston Shou, and | hurt the entire town. But | did it 
because they took away my little brother. | cannot forgive 
them, but maybe they can forgive me. | apologize to all 
my friends and family for my wrongdoing. 


I’m Patricia Sarlo, and | hurt my parents after we got in a 
fight. They got mad at me, which in turn made me upset 
with them. So we hurt each other. And we hurt each 
other. And we hurt each other. And we hurt each other. | 
apologize to all my friends and family for my wrongdoing. 


| am Tristan Dourly, and I've hurt myself every day for 
the past month. It felt good. | say something mean, and | 
get cut. | liked it. | did it a lot. | apologize to all my friends 
and family for my wrongdoing. 


Addendum SCP-3123-C: On 4/3/1990, Agent Tennison, stationed 
in Towin, reported a mass manifestation of SCP-3123. All students 
and teachers at the Towin elementary school received lacerations 
on their bodies at the same time. This occurred during the school’s 
annual “Field Day” event. 


The following night, the cameras planted in the area described in 
Addendum SCP-3123-B spotted a group of three Towin inhabitants. 
The men carried the body of a young child, which they buried next to 
a tree without a slip of paper. When they finished, the men taped a 
slip to the tree. Microphones picked up the following conversation 
from the men as they dug the grave: 


TI-1: li's such a damn shame. 


TI-2: Would you prefer she stick around and break your 
leg one day? 


TI-1: No, | wouldn't. But still. She's so young. 


TI-2: They're always young. It's harder to pick out 
unstable ones when they get older. 


TI-1: But have we even tried that? 


TI-2: | don't know. This is just what we do. If there wasn't 


reason for it, don't you think we would've come up with a 
better idea? 


TI-1: I... | guess you're right. But— 


TI-3: Jimmy, | Know this is your first shift, but you need to 
stop talking. You're slowing us down. | don't dig these 
graves because | enjoy it. 


TI-2: Right. 
TI-1: Sorry. 
[silence] 
Tl-1: Her parents looked so calm, though. 
TI-3: They always look like that. 
The Foundation recovered the body, and the slip: 


My name is Judy Grant, and | hurt my classmates and 
teachers after my class lost during field day. | really 
wanted to win, but | should not have gotten upset at my 
teammates. Hopefully, we can win next year. | apologize 
to all my friends and family for my wrongdoing.

SCP-3124: Not a Football 


Item #: SCP-3124 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-31 24 is kept in Locker 
A57 at Site-48's Low-Value Item Storage wing. In the event that 
SCP-3124 must be moved to another facility, consult Appendix D for 
a list of storage lockers that are located and oriented such that 
SCP-3124 can be placed inside. During transport, SCP-3124 should 
be kept in a large, empty, and well-secured container that allows for 
significant freedom of movement. 


Description: SCP-3124 is an object that resembles a standard 
black-and-white 32-panel football, though lacking in any 
imperfections or discoloration that would normally occur during 
construction or usage. SCP-3124's appearance remains the same 
under all lighting conditions, and it can be viewed as though 
intervening liquids and gases are not present. SCP-3124 possesses 
the same size, mass, texture, and elasticity as a normal football 
comprised of synthetic leather,! though it is chemically inert and 
cannot be defaced or ruptured by any tested methods. Examination 
of SCP-3124 under high magnification has provided inconclusive 
results; it is unclear whether or not SCP-3124 is comprised of 
conventional matter. 


SCP-3124 follows a three-dimensional "taxicab geometry," in which 
it will only move along the lines of a 1.384m cubic grid of indefinite 
size, hereby the "movement grid." The motion of SCP-3124 is best 
modeled by determining the path a non-anomalous football would 
take when acted upon in a given manner, and then constructing the 
path along the movement grid that is closest to this trajectory. As 
such, SCP-3124's movement is often marked by abrupt 90° turns, 
and rarely functions intuitively. SCP-3124's movement grid is 
stationary relative to Earth and thus has a different orientation 
relative to the ground in different locations. 


Subjects that use SCP-3124 in a game of association football will fail 
to recognize its appearance or behavior as unusual, instead 
describing its anomalous properties as the norm for footballs. 
Players display an intuitive understanding of the rules governing 
SCP-3124's motion (including the size and local orientation of its 
movement grid) while playing, and will adapt their strategy and 
technique as necessary to account for its anomalous properties. 
Subjects display roughly the same level of proficiency at association 
football whether playing with SCP-3124 or a standard football. 


Additionally, under these circumstances, all subjects will refer to 
SCP-3124 as a "soccer ball" and refer to association football as 
"soccer," regardless of the terms they customarily use. 


History: SCP-3124 spontaneously appeared on 2014-06-09 at the 
University of Texas at Austin, in the office of Professor : 
Prior to SCP-3124's appearance, Professor was attempting to 
teach an artificial neural network to distinguish between images of 
balls used in various sports. Professor reports that the 
program consistently labeled all input images as "soccer ball," 
despite repeated attempts to condition it to do otherwise. 


After several hours of failing to alter the program's behavior, 
Professor kicked his computer out of frustration; upon contact 
with his shoe, the computer disappeared and was replaced by 
SCP-3124. The aforementioned artificial neural network has not 
been recovered, and attempts to recreate it have not resulted in any 
unusual behavior.

69.0cm — both within the bounds specified by FIFA. 


SCP-396 was discovered in a theater in , . Originally, it 
was Classified as Safe, as its area of effect was believed to be 
localized. As such, Junior level researchers were frequently 
assigned to work with it. 


It is believed SCP-396 is able to listen to nearby conversation, and 
transported itself to locations mentioned by its research staff. 
Containment procedures and classification escalated until reaching 
their current levels. 


There are currently 538 locations that are known to have been 
discussed or mentioned in passing around SCP-396 that it may 
affect. It has been shown to be much more likely to affect locations 
that were mentioned repeatedly, or in great detail. A full list is 
considered to be impossible due to incomplete records of SCP-396's 
early time in containment. 


Locations SCP-396 has 
atfected. 

Cruise Ship Located by Junior Researcher 
Bland while on vacation, after 
witnessing it manifest on the deck 
of the ship. Bland contacted the 
Foundation, and classification 
was upgraded to Euclid upon re- 
containment. Theorized to have 
‘imprinted’ on Bland during his 
time working with the anomaly. 

Site-77, 2nd level research floor, A researcher who had transferred 
from Site-77 is known to have 
mentioned their previous work 
there, which is the initial link 
leading to discovering the cause 
of SCP-396's escalation of 
anomalous activity. 

Death row, [REDACTED] D-Class personnel assigned to 
testing had been asked to state 
their name and point of origin 
while in a testing chamber with 
SCP-396. D-936816 mentioned 


SCP-3125: The Escapee 


SCP-3126: The Immobile Muse 


Item #: SCP-3126 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3126 is to be held in a 
standard humanoid containment chamber in Site 19, and should not 
be brought in contact with strong magnets outside of testing, 
including those found in most hard drives. Additionally, SCP-3126 
requires daily deferoxamine injections to treat its iron overload. 


Addendum: In light of the recent suicide attempt, SCP-31 26 is 
required to submit to psychiatric evaluations after any testing, along 
with mandatory weekly evaluations and antidepressants. Also, on 
the advice of the site psychologist, SCP-3126 is allowed a weekly 
allotment of painting supplies for art therapy purposes. 


Description: SCP-3126 is an African-American female, physically 
23 years in age, 185 cm tall and weighing 88 kg . It suffers from 
chronic iron overload, resulting in joint pain, hair loss and 
depression, and it is estimated that the condition may result in liver 
failure within ten years. 


Its anomalous effect occurs when the subject is exposed to a 
magnetic field of 1 Tesla or higher. When exposed to a sufficiently 
powerful magnetic pull, the subject's skin appears to transform into 
cast iron, with the effect expanding across the skin as long as the 
magnet remains within range. Additionally, any muscles or joints 
under the affected area lose all mobility, resulting in complete 
immobility within a minute. The effect can be reversed by applying 
high-salinity water to the metal surface, which causes the iron 
surface to rust and disintegrate within minutes, exposing human skin 
beneath it. When the transformation is reversed, SCP-3126 shows 
no symptoms of iron overload, and if the immobilization period 
exceeds two hours, it will temporarily show symptoms of iron 
deficiency. This process does not appear to cause SCP-3126 pain 


or injury, and all biological processes are paused while it is 
immobilized, allowing it to stay that way for an indefinite amount of 
time. However, researchers are advised to not leave SCP-3126 
immobilized for long periods of time, as SCP-3126 reports being 
conscious while immobilized, and extended immobilization may 
aggravate its mental conditions.
