| know that your vision for Bio Site-59 is one where 
anomalies are kept reasonably healthy and happy, and 
the success of your mental health treatment initiative 
continues to positively influence other humanoid 
containment facilities. However, I'm afraid that there's 
only so much that | can do at this point. Attempts to treat 
its depression have worsened its anxiety, and attempts 
to treat its anxiety have worsened its depression. | have 
consulted with my peers on this issue, and we agree that 
SCP-2094's unstable mental state puts riskier options 
out of the equation. 


We will continue to do our best to treat SCP-2094 
medicinally and through counseling, but it seems unlikely 
that SCP-2094 will return to its previous disposition. 
Given your commitment to SCP quality of life, | know this 
will come as a disappointment to you, especially after the 
letter you sent noting your fondness for its 
unconventional interview logs. | felt it was important for 
you to be aware of the situation, and given your 
background in the mental health field, | hope that you will 
not hesitate to offer any advice you may have concerning 
the situation. 


Dr. Miranda Anniston 
Incident Log #2 


On 03/11/07, SCP-2094 was found attempting to consume itself in 
what is presumed to be a Suicide attempt. Bio Site-59 caretakers 


were able to successfully restrain and sedate SCP-2094. Dr. 
Anniston approved paperwork placing SCP-2094 on Level-2 suicide 
watch on 03/12/07. 


Dr. Anniston's Report #2: 


The following is a message sent from Dr. Anniston to Site Director 
Bluthe on 04/15/14. 


Hello, 


As you are aware, | have been in charge of overseeing 
SCP-2094's psychiatric treatment for the past eight 
years. During that time, it has shown minimal and 
inconsistent progress, continually resisting treatment and 
refusing to cooperate with me and my staff. However, 
over the past two months, I've observed a significant 
degree of improvement in SCP-2094's overall condition. 
It's beginning to open up about its thoughts and feelings 
for the first time in years, and has even requested 
juggling clubs, which it has been granted access to 
under supervision. 


SCP-2094 has yet to completely explain what led to its 
improvement in mood, but so far I've been able to gather 
that it has "made peace with the past", "forgiven and 
been forgiven in return," and "gotten back something 
valuable". Presumably, these statements have to do with 
it regaining some memories lost to its amnesia. Due to 
the comparatively high level of cooperation SCP-2094 
has shown recently, | am not pressing for further 
answers at this time, although more in-depth interviews 
are scheduled to be conducted. 


Yesterday afternoon, SCP-2094 submitted a formal 
request to hold a performance for the staff of Bio Site-59. 
It is my personal recommendation that this request be 
granted—under strictly supervised conditions, of course— 
as long as SCP-2094's condition continues to show 
improvement. I've lowered suicide risk level to RL-1, and 
hope to see it at RL-L by the end of the year. As you are 


aware, high-risk humanoids are a substantial drain on 
resources, and it is my hope that we will be able to use 
some of the funding saved on extreme supervision for 
additional research. 


It's likely that, over the course of reading this letter, the 
thought has crossed your mind that SCP-2094 is merely 
putting on an act to manipulate personnel into complying 
with its whims. As SCP-2094's primary caretaker for 
almost the entirety of the past decade, | can safely say 
that if it is, in fact, acting, then we can assume with 
certainty that SCP-2094 is once again as healthy as it 
was during its first few years of containment. Eccentric, 
yes, but healthy. 


Dr. Miranda Anniston 
Selected Interview #3: 

Interviewer: Dr. Anniston 

Interviewee: SCP-2094 


Notes: The following is an excerpt from an interview 
recorded on 5/16/14. 


<Begin log> 
Dr. Anniston: And he ate the entire thing? 


SCP-2094: Yeah, the entire thing! (Laughs) | told him it 
was my job. 


Dr. Anniston: And then what did you do? 


SCP-2094: Oh, you know. | just decided to take the high 
road and give 'im a couple minutes time out in my gut. 


Dr. Anniston: You didn't! 


SCP-2094: | did, indeed! Boy, Manny was furious. Not as 
furious as he was after the ol’ noodle incident of course, 


but you know. 


Dr. Anniston: You're referring to the misadventure that 
led to you ending up in the trunk, correct? I've wondered 
about that for a while now. Have you gotten those 
memories back? 


SCP-2094: Yeah. | still don't have everything, but I've got 
all of that stuff. Kinda wish | could forget it. 


Dr. Anniston: That's all right. I'm not going to press you 
about it if you're not ready. 


SCP-2094: Heh. | know you won't. That's why I'm gonna 
tell ya. 


Dr. Anniston: You really don't have to— 


SCP-2094: Too late. I've made up my mind. Okay, so 
you know how Manny saved me from my rotten home 
life? 


Dr. Anniston: | do. 


SCP-2094: Well, that's how Manny did things for a long 
time. He helped people. | don't think he had been in 
charge that long before | joined. The thing is, the longer 
he was in power, the more he changed. It was little 
things at first, you Know? Snippier attitude and all that. 
Folks just chalked it up to the stress of keeping all of us 
weirdos in order. But then he started bringing in these 
kids— he'd always brought in kids, of course, every once 
in a while. Maybe about two or three a year. 


That may sound like a lot of kids, but you gotta 
remember that the Circus of the Disquieting isn't just a 
single show, it's a multifaceted entertainment 
extravaganza. There's the Big Top show, of course, but 
there's also the Den of Freaks, the Menagerie of 
Mayhem, the individual tents for special acts, not to 
mention all of the non-performance jobs... Point is we've 


got a plethora of people in all sorts of places, both kids 
and adults. But at some point or another, Manny started 
bringing in kids that were different from the ones who'd 
come before. | should know; | was the one who usually 
worked with them. 


Manny gave the usual stories. Broken family, orphan, 
saved from the streets, stuff like that. But there was 
something off about them. | figured it was just trauma, or 
they were overwhelmed by the circus like | had been, but 
something still didn't feel quite right. | didn't trust my gut, 
though. | was stupid for a long time. | put on my charm, 
played around with them, got them to warm up to the 
circus and forget about whatever it was that haunted 
them. 


That changed with this one kid, though. Little girl. 
Delicate little thing— literally, that was her whole shtick. 
She'd fall to pieces and put herself back together again. | 
was standing with her one day, trying to teach her to 
juggle herself, and all of a sudden she just broke down 
and started crying, saying she wanted to go home. That 
was when | knew, deep in my gut, that Manny'd been 
taking kids. If The Man with the Upside-Down Face 
wants you to keep quiet about something, it's no easy 
feat to share it. 


| yelled. | fought. | told him that wasn't how we did things 
anymore. And you know what he did? He slapped me 
straight across the face and told me that he was just 
doing what he could do to keep the circus alive. Can you 
believe that? Even with everything we were doing, he still 
thought the circus was on the verge of collapse. In 
hindsight, | think he might have just been overly worried, 
or maybe still hung up on Fuller's way of doing things. 
Either way, it's still no excuse for what he did. 


| couldn't stand it. | had to do something. | stashed the 
girl away in my mouth and snuck her off to the 
Kaleidoscope. She was home before lunch. Manny was 
waiting for me when | got back. He was livid, of course. 


Said I'd betrayed him, betrayed the circus, betrayed the 
trust that was put in me when | got transportation 
privileges. He made a huge deal out of it. Called 
everybody together to watch him locking me in the trunk 
for you guys to find. 


Heh. It's kind of funny looking back on it, now that | know 
that it practically killed him to do it. He was so scared of 
losing control. He had to make an example of me. "Essie 
P" was the big bugaboo around the circus at the time, 
see, since the big "Emcee D" scare had blown over. It 
makes sense that he'd use that to his advantage. He had 
to get me out of the picture, but at least he sent me 
somewhere safe. Yeesh, look at me talk. You got 
anything to drink in here?

SCP-2095: The Siege of Gyaros 


Item #: SCP-2095 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Reliquary Site-26 was 
constructed around SCP-2095, preventing access and enclosing it 
from view. Site-26 has been disguised as a weather observatory and 
agents within the Greek government are to ensure that the site is 
publicly viewed as such. 


Description: SCP-2095 is a primarily subterranean temple 
complex! located at Gyaros, an arid and uninhabited Greek island in 
the Aegean Sea. Structure predates previously known 
archaeological sites on the island. Inscriptions found within have 
included Cretan hieroglyphs, Linear A, Hittite Cuneiform, and a 
previously unknown writing system composed of spiral-shaped 
glyphs varying in complexity.2 


SCP-2095 is composed of entirely biological material and is believed 
to have once been a living organism. Samples taken from SCP-2095 
have revealed bone, chitin, muscle, adipose and viscera. 
Radiocarbon dating has placed the subject's death at cal 1200-1000 
BCE (10) with soft tissue having undergone a form of embalmment. 


Chambers are connected together via tunnels which are structurally 
and cellularly similar to the inner lining of the human intestinal tract. 
Large sphincters appear to have served as doors and are 
permanently relaxed. These portals would have likely been able to 
open and close as needed pre-mortem. 


The largest room contains an altar composed of bone, a component 
of the SCP-2095 organism. Forensic evidence suggests that it was 
used in a Sacrificial manner. It is believed possible that living 
sacrifices provided SCP-2095 with the nutrients necessary for its 
survival and the floor itself shows signs of acidic corrosion. The base 


of the altar has been carved into an Ouroboros, believed to be a 
symbol of religious importance to the creators of SCP-2095. 


Twenty-nine scrolls were discovered within the northern most 
chamber of SCP-2095. Only four were found to be written in Hittite 
Cuneiform while the rest remain undecipherable. Of those four, 
three are considered to be of a spiritual/philosophical nature while 
one appears to be an inventory report. 


Foundation archaeologists have found evidence of warfare 
throughout the island. This has included skeletal remains depicting 
likely anomalous causes for death such as implosion, internal 
combustion, disintegration, radiation poisoning, and fatal physical 
reconfiguration. 


The Foundation became aware of SCP-2095 after reports of a 
"cathedral of bone" being discovered by a team of Greek 
archaeologists who had been studying a large mound on the isle of 
Gyaros. Class-B Amnestics were administered and the 
archaeologists were returned to the general population. SCP-2095 
was easily secured and construction of Reliquary Site-26 was 
completed by 12/09/1949.

The Wound, cut from the flesh of totality - 
deep, it severed the line of future and past. 
Drawn to its ancient fester, gods swarmed as 
flies to a corpse. We waited within bloodless 
veins, faithful to that which we could not know 


near [REDACTED]. When an SCP-234 specimen is startled, killed, 
brought out of the Red Zone, or the closed space containing the 
specimen is breached, all matter (including air) within the closed 
space is immediately extradimensionally evacuated with sufficient 
force to cause a catastrophic implosion within the surrounding area. 


SCP-234 was discovered following a series of incident reports and 
disappearances of back-country hikers near [REDACTED]. A 
Foundation survey team sent to the area inadvertently created a 
closed space with a standard adverse-weather camping tent, whose 
subsequent implosion resulted in the disappearance of one (1) 
research personnel and severe injuries to an additional two (2) 
agents. 


Research is ongoing into how SCP-234 is capable of 
extradimensional movement. Experimentation is hampered by the 
inability to study SCP-234 outside of closed spaces, and attempts to 
trace evacuated objects via the use of tracking devices has yielded 
no results; to date, objects evacuated by specimens of SCP-234 
have never been found again. 


Addendum 234-01: Incident Log 234-031 


On // , Dr. accidentally introduced a closed space into the 
Red Zone of SCP-234 in the form of a sealed coffee thermos. Upon 
opening the container, the resulting implosion startled four (4) 
additional SCP-234 instances within the testing area, causing a 
chain reaction that inflicted severe damage to the laboratory as well 
as Causing injuries to six (6) research personnel. Post-incident 
photographs of the remains of Dr. are kept on file as a warning 
to research personnel assigned to SCP-234 as to the consequences 
of carelessness during experimentation.

Addendum: On 05/24/2014, an earthquake occurred in the Aegean 
Sea. Reliquary Site-26 was unharmed, as were the anomalous 
objects retained within since its construction. SCP-2095 did however 
suffer some structural damage but proved to be a serendipitous 
event. A hitherto unknown sphincter, sealed and hidden through 
calcification, had ruptured open within the altar chamber.
