Dr. Walker: | understand. What about 
SCP-3887-B? 


Dr. Garden: Ah, yes... well... during all of this, 
from the moment | ended up there up to once | 
emerged, | was terrified. | could hear that thing 
moving in the dark, stalking me... | admit, | felt 
like it was going to kill me. | could see her 
fangs, her eyes her... [Dr. Garden goes silent 
for 5 seconds] Its claws. Apologies. | was 
running around, screaming. | even fell in the 
water, lost my shoes in that blasted pond! | 
tried to find a hole to hide in, and | wouldn't be 
able to tell you how many times | fell on the 
ground, trying to run away from SCP-3887-B... 
and yet, | don't think | actually saw it even 
once. 


Dr. Walker: And how did you escape from 
there? 


Dr. Garden: Well... | was suddenly grabbed 
by SCP-3887-B. It felt like it appeared from the 
dark, but | was feeling so terrified | just as 
likely didn't see it approaching. She lifted me 
up... | think she smiled with all those jagged 
fangs... | was sure she- that was going to eat 
me when it rose me higher and opened its 
mouth. Instead, it grabbed my socks and 


pulled them off, then started to chew on 
them... | think it even said "thank you", before 
tossing me into one of the holes. | felt like | 
was being sucked away, there was darkness, 
that pulling again... and next thing | knew, | 
was back under the bed, with all of you around 
me. 


Dr. Walker: | see. Thank you, Amelia. | think 
we can conclude this interview here. 


Additional notes: After the incident, 
SCP-3887-A and SCP-3887-B were observed 
talking with one another. SCP-3887-A relayed 
SCP-3887-B's apologies to Dr. Garden. To 
date, SCP-3887-B has refused to bring anyone 
else into its home.

Item #: SCP-3888 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Research into the precise 
nature of SCP-3888, its root cause, and the potential to recover 
affected personnel or civilians is ongoing. All personnel are 
encouraged to submit any information they believe may be pertinent 
to SCP-3888 to the SCP-3888 crisis research committee. 
Foundation Al projects are currently authorized to identify and 
collect such information from civilian sources. Until further notice, 
Foundation personnel missing for unknown reasons and spikes in 
civilian disappearances beyond projected statistics are to be 
considered caused by the action of SCP-3888 unless proven 
otherwise. 


Law enforcement agencies have categorized most civilians affected 
by SCP-3888 as missing persons. The activities of such law 
enforcement agencies are to be monitored with heightened priority, 
but no further action against them is believed to be necessary or an 
efficient use of resources at this time. Civilian sources found 
attempting to link known disappearances to a single cause are to be 
considered targets for suppression on a case-by-case basis. 


The complete list of affected Foundation personnel is contained in 
Document 3888-A, and can be accessed by personnel with Level 2 
clearance, while the complete list of all known or suspected victims 
can be accessed by personnel with Level 3/3888 clearance in 
Document 3888-B. Complete evidence logs can be accessed by 
personnel with Level 3/3888 clearance via Documents 3888-C and 
3888-D, and the original copies of evidence may be accessed by 
personnel with 3888 clearance. Current hypotheses as to the nature 
of SCP-3888 and possible future countermeasures can be accessed 
by personnel with 3888 clearance in Document 3888-E. 


Description: SCP-3888 is the theoretical unified origin of a series of 
anomalous phenomena related to the recent disappearance of 54 
Foundation personnel and an estimate of at least [REDACTED]! 
civilians, with no direct, human eyewitnesses. 


Collected evidence suggests that most, if not all, affected persons 
disappeared between 22:00 and 23:00 (local time in known cases) 
on 03/01/2017. Initially, multiple disappearances noticed on 
Foundation security footage and intercepted from civilian sources 
were reported as Potential Extranormal Events. However, early 
assessments of material recovered from the quarters of Dr. Brook, 
Dr. Lem, and the former O5- suggested the possibility that some 
persons affected by SCP-3888 events were aware of the imminent 
nature of their disappearances, and of a possible root cause. While 
the exact nature of SCP-3888 or such a root cause is not 
understood from current research, the disappearances received a 
collective SCP classification in light of their widespread nature and 
further evidence indicating that many victims had prior awareness 
(refer to Addendum 1). 


Circumstantial evidence and recovered video footage of SCP-3888 
events suggests that most objects carried by affected persons, 
including clothing, disappeared at the same time as the affected 
persons. Recovered video footage of SCP-3888 events sometimes 
display evidence of tampering2, but the cause of this is unknown 
and believed at present to be anomalous rather than mundane. 
Video footage also demonstrates differing modes of disappearance 
between affected persons, some simply disappearing between 
recorded frames while others are subject to possible anomalous 
phenomenon which remove them from observation (refer to 
Addendum 1). 


Signs of a struggle are sometimes present at locations in which 
persons seem to have disappeared or in portions of recovered video 
footage. While evaluation is ongoing, this seems to have occurred in 
relatively few cases. Furthermore, it is currently believed probable 
that affected persons with any prior awareness of the SCP-3888 
event and/or its cause were unwilling or unable to inform their 
friends and coworkers about SCP-3888 in any capacity. The reason 
for this is unknown. 


Addendum 1 - Recovered Media and Evidence of SCP-3888 
Event: Below is a partial list of evidence compiled from Documents 
3888-C and 3888-D regarding the SCP-3888 event and its 
aftermath, consisting primarily of Foundation sources. Additional 
representative data from civilian disappearances is pending review 
of further civilian sources. 


Video Log Transcript: Footage obtained from security 
camera at Westminster Underground Station, London, 
taken 03/01/2017, recovered by . . On-duty security 
guards were apprehended and amnesticized. 


<Begin Log> 


22:47:33: Civilian identified as Caroline enters 
station. No other persons are present. 


22:47:51: Video feed is affected for five seconds by 
distortions similar to compression artifacts. 


22:48:06: quickly looks up and glances around the 
station, apparently startled, and backs up against a 
nearby wall. 


22:48:13: appears to "fall" diagonally through the 
adjacent wall and station platform. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Footage corroborated later by 
records obtained from additional security cameras. 


Interviewed: Dr. Emmett Bell 
Interviewer: Dr. Simon Hayes 


Foreword: Excerpt from a routine psychological 
evaluation of Dr. Bell following the disappearance of 
Research Assistant Julian Abram during the SCP-3888 
event. 


<Begin Partial Log> 


Dr. Hayes: Back up a little. You mentioned that Abram 
complained about nightmares? 


Dr. Bell: |, uh, shouldn't really have put it that way | 
guess. He just mentioned it once, before we were 
dissecting the brain of SCP-__, but that was only a 
couple of days before. [pause] 


Dr. Hayes: Go on. 


Dr. Bell: He didn't say much about it. More like an, um, 
impression than anything vivid. Something had just 
reminded him of a feeling from the dream though. 
[pause] Just before | came in the room | think. 
Something about how quiet it was. 


Dr. Hayes: He didn't describe anything further? Nothing 
about why the dream was relevant, why he mentioned it? 


Dr. Bell: | honestly don't know. [pause] Uh, | didn't really 
ask him anything else about it. Certainly didn't seem as 
important as preparing the cadaver at the time; we had 
to get started before cell death was complete. 


Dr. Hayes: But Abram seemed upset, didn't he? 


Dr. Bell: Uncomfortable. Figured it was a natural thing 
for him, not really our problem. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Research Assistant has taken on 
the role of Abram in Dr. Bell's work. Dr. Bell seems to 
have suffered relatively minimal psychological 
disturbance following the disappearance of Abram. 


E-mail recovered by . . , sent from Roger to 
David at 20:55 on 03/01/2017. Roger was 
reported missing on 03/07/2017. 


Subject: Next week's meeting 


or eating the plant life would cause them to emit "telepathic 
screams." Subject abstained from eating for the first day because of 
this, but became hungry enough on the second day onward to 
consume the flora in spite of the screams. 


Testing has shown no biological changes in the subject from this, 
but subject repeatedly affirms that it "felt horrible" for doing so. 


¢ Request: None specifically, but subject adopted a gelatin- and 
pudding-based diet for two and a half weeks after returning 
from this shift. 


J75-R63-3TF 
Retrieval: Uneventtful. 


Subject arrived in a dimension with flipped genders. No notable 
differences besides this were discovered, although subject found 
issue with the fact that its female counterpart "looks pretty much the 
same" as the standard version. 


« Request: None. 


000-000-000 (Invalid) 
Retrieval: Via tracking device. Plainclothes agents found subject 
sitting in an alleyway at ; 


Subject was largely unresponsive upon retrieval, and remained so 
until the standard questioning phase. When asked where it went this 
shift, subject answered, “Nowhere. | think | missed it this time.” 


Subject experienced minor motor skill impairment and decreased 
activity levels for roughly a month after this shift. 


¢ Request: A nightlight, and a wristwatch which makes an 
audible "tick" as the second hand moves. Both were 
approved. 


J7Q-53Y-8ST 

Retrieval: Subject was found in its quarters, sprawled on the floor, 
attempting to gnaw through the "sleeves" of a straitjacket it was 
wearing. The jacket, leg restraints, and the loss of motor skills still 
present from the last shift led to the subject being unable to stand up 


Hi Dave, 


Apologies about the row today; it won't happen again. | 
actually should be ready for our conference with _ I'll 
just need to devote a bit more time to the presentation. 
Might do that from home instead of the office if that'd still 
be helpful to you. | don't think that I'll be able to get into 
the city tomorrow. 


Best, 
Roger 


Interviewed: Dr. Adeline Renaud 
Interviewer: Agent 


Foreword: Excerpt from an interview of Dr. Renaud by 
her request, involving information pertinent to the 
disappearance of Dr. Arthur Brook. 


<Begin Partial Log> 
Agent : So, uh, when did you last see Dr. Brook? 


Dr. Renaud: It was on March first, but before it all 
happened. This was just after reviewing the new 
transmission intercepted by the around SCP-_ ; 
| was getting lunch and he was sitting with andmein 
the canteen. He... [pause] he had a piece of paper with 
him. Folded in his pocket, but he was taking it out and 
glancing it over every so often. Sometimes muttering a 
bit to himself, not loud enough for me to hear. Thought it 
was a bit odd at the time because | couldn't immediately 
see any writing on the page. 


Agent : "Immediately?" 


Dr. Renaud: Yeah, he set it down for a few seconds at 
one point. There was just one sentence typed in the 
middle of the page, rather large font. | remember it said 
"How are you feeling today?" 


Agent : Lemme guess. You didn't ask him what it 
meant. 


Dr. Renaud: Well, no. | thought it seemed personal; | 
didn't want him to think | was prying. 


Agent : Dr. Renaud, do you personally know of 
anyone whom he would have received that sort of 
message from? Anyone he confided in? 


Dr. Renaud: [pause] No, | don't think | do. Should I? 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: A folded piece of paper with the 
phrase "Not much longer." typed in the center of it was 
recovered from Dr. Brook's quarters following his 
disappearance. Dr. Brook's bookcase was overturned. 
The paper is currently stored as evidence, alongside Dr. 
Brook's journal, and displays no known anomalous 
properties. 


Final entry of Dr. Isaac Lem's journal, recovered from 
his quarters 03/02/2017 


03/01/2017 - We've still been trying to figure out some 
way to mitigate the number of civilians being affected by 
SCP-__, but none of our attempts at telepathic shielding, 
not even [REDACTED]. There's actually a motion to vote 
on testing the amnestic with groups of D-Class and 
assessing the effects before moving onto [REDACTED] 
gets too much worse. More wool with which to cover our 
eyes and plug our ears. Can't say that's not what the 
Foundation's always been selling. Won't be something | 
have to deal with at least. Not when | finally have a 
choice. 


Hello. 


Video Log Transcript: Footage observed from security 
camera in Site-77, Medical Wing, Room 33 on 
03/01/2017. Researcher Ross Liao is the room's current 
inpatient, undergoing treatment for chemical burns 
inflicted by SCP- 


<Begin Log> 


22:55:19: Dr. dims lights and exits room. Liao 
remains in a supine position with his eyes closed. 


22:56:13: Liao turns his head slightly and opens his 
eyes, then appears to speak for the next 24 seconds. 


22:56:38: Liao returns to a supine position and closes 
his eyes, appearing contended. 


22:57:04: Liao begins to vanish over the course of 8 
seconds, during which he becomes continuously more 
transparent to visible and IR wavelengths until he seems 
no longer present. The bed sheet formerly covering his 
body collapses after this point. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Medical equipment, including the 
cannula which had been inserted into Liao's cephalic 
vein, remained in the room following his disappearance. 
Traces of Liao's cerebrospinal fluid were detected on the 
bed's pillow. The reason for this is currently unknown. 


Thought I'd come and talk more. I've missed listening to 
you. 


Interviewed: Dr. Giles Blanc 
Interviewer: Agent 


Foreword: Excerpt from an interview of Dr. Blanc by his 
request, involving information pertinent to the 
disappearance of Junior Researcher Monika Rubin. 


<Begin Partial Log> 


Agent _ : Well, where did you think that Rubin had 
gone off to? 


Dr. Blanc: Hell if | know. | was already up to my ears 
with the fallout from [REDACTED]; you know how difficult 
it is to make sure the right half of a department forgets 
they'd just listened [REDACTED]. 


Agent :[REDACTED]. Please, back to Rubin. 


Dr. Blanc: Right, right. [pause] She didn't show up the 
day after all that; | figured she was probably taking a day 
off, though she hadn't been one of the infected as far as 
we knew. Might've considered reprimanding her if she'd 
come to see me the next day, but when she still wasn't 
showing up, and after the news about SCP-3888 finally 
poured in, | gave you notification. And then we found 
that... [pause] drawing she'd made in her notes. 


Agent _ : Of course. But following the event, why 
weren't you keeping tabs on her? 


Dr. Blanc: [pause] Maybe | should've. | was busy 
making sure everyone else was fine.
