Upon detailed examination of the retrieved objects conducted by 
scientific personnel on site, it was noted that neither the chair nor 
the cadaver suffered the damage that they should have sustained 
upon traveling at escape velocity from atmospheric friction and drag. 
In addition, neither suffered any significant decomposition due to the 
time spent in the vacuum of space, though the cadaver had been 
frozen solid. The cadaver was noted to be wearing a hanfu2 
appropriate to the style of the Ming Dynasty and a wushamao3, 
consistent with the object's time of origin. The clothes were then 
removed for the autopsy, which determined that the specimen had 
suffered from brain damage stemming from sudden deceleration 
and had died as a result of asphyxiation. Damage from 
micrometeoroid impacts was also found on the specimen, similar to 
the damage found on SCP-1445. 


A testing procedure for SCP-1445 has been proposed by Dr. A_ , in 
order to discern the anomalous properties of the object directly 
through experimentation. After a week of consideration and 
consultation with other departments of the Foundation, the proposal 
was rejected by Site Director (See Addendum-1445-A). 
However, based on contemporary documents in Foundation 
historical databases, the observed position of the object in space, 
and the information received from the autopsy conducted, some 
anomalous properties of the object have been hypothesized, for 
focused testing of the object in the future: 


1. The fuses of the object are capable of regeneration. When 
found, the fuses were unburnt, but contemporary documents 
clearly describe a "[...] ceremonious lighting of the fuses." 

2. Upon the lighting of all of the fuses, SCP-1445 is capable of 
reaching escape velocity and generating an anomalous 


o 


amount of propulsion from the rockets. The hypothesis is 
supported by the object's final position in space, in a low Earth 
orbit. The contemporary description of the event indicated that 
actual rocketry was involved, because the object was said to 
have "[brought] Wan Hu into the aegis of Heaven with a great 
deal of fire and smoke, to never be seen again." 


. The object generates an anomalous field around it to nullify 


the effects of atmospheric friction and drag. No damage has 
been observed on the object from such effects and any object 
reaching Earth's escape velocity should have suffered 
significant damage. 


. The object comes to a sudden halt immediately after entering 


low Earth orbit. The specimen was found to have suffered 
from brain damage from rapid deceleration, suggesting that 
the object stopped moving upon reaching its current position. 
Additionally, the contemporary documents described Wan 
Hu's goal as "[breaking] the reach of the Earth to join Heaven 
as one,” which could be interpreted to have been 
accomplished by entering into low Earth orbit. 


+ Addendum-1445-A 


After having consulted with the Accounting 
Department and the Information Control 
Department, | am afraid that your proposal for 
testing SCP-1445 will be rejected. Following 
are the reasons for denial: According to the 
Accounting Department, the proposal that you 
have sent will cost approximately $ . million 
for retrieval alone (and this is in addition to 
taking valuable time out of Retrieval's busy 
schedule). Then, adding inthe $ . million 
estimate the Information Control Department 
gave me (assuming a best-case scenario) or 
up to $ . million (assuming a worst-case 
scenario), | am afraid that there is just not 
enough funding available for testing this 
object. The $ . million that has already been 
spent on it is already far and beyond the total 
costs of most objects. While the Foundation's 


coffers are deep, and research is an important 
aspect of the Foundation, we can hardly afford 
to be extravagant while testing an easily 
contained Safe-class object that is already 
fairly well understood. | respect your devotion 
to science and empirical data, but the potential 
benefit for the cost is low, the amount of risk is 
high, and there are more urgent matters that 
draw the Foundation's attention and 
resources. Remember our priorities, Dr. A 


Cordially, 
Site Director

SCP-1446: Metaphysical Graffiti 


Item #: SCP-1446 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-1446 should 
be kept on individual wooden slates, each wrapped in opaque 
plastic, in an hermetically sealed container. Only one sample should 
be maintained permanently; test samples should be incinerated at 
the conclusion of testing. Two guards armed with portable dry ice 
blasting units and infrared limited goggles should be on site at all 
times. 


Testing is limited to D-Class personnel. Any agents wishing to 
interact with SCP-1446 must undergo Protocol 94-Wegner-Gyatso 
training, hold Level 3 Clearance or higher, and obtain class 4 
permission. Any others coming in contact with SCP-1446 must be 
administered class-c amnesiacs or be terminated. 


Description: SCP-1446 is any of a number of examples of an 
acrylic based, spray paint graffiti. SCP-1446 can appear in any 
format which can be depicted by this medium on a conventional 
surface, making instances of SCP-1446 difficult to distinguish until 
their anomalous properties manifest. 


When a person observes an instance of SCP-1446, and consciously 
focuses on the art, it will immediately begin to spread, expanding 
over all available surfaces rapidly, introducing new themes and 
elements as it grows. This effect will last as long as it continues to 
be both visually and consciously examined by a human being. This 
can quickly grow hazardous as the expanding area covers buildings, 
vehicles, even people, spreading over skin, eyes, and into orifices. 
Depending on the size of the original sample and the number of 
viewers, SCP-1446 can easily cover 50 square centimeters of 
surface per second per observer. No maximum growth rate has 
been determined. 


SCP-1446 will flow over any solid substance normally capable of 
holding paint in a setting pattern. It cannot cross over most fluids, 
and any breach between solids greater than 1 (one) centimeter 
effectively blocks growth. Only direct human observation triggers 
instances of SCP-1446. Anyone exposed, however, is subsequently 
able to create new instances of SCP-1446 simply by concentrating 
on the memory and using ordinary acrylic spray paint. 


SCP-1446’s thematic material is wildly variable, but typically draws 
from the memories and experiences of the viewer(s). Designs mimic 
established graffiti tropes and artistic patterns witnesses are familiar 
with. Despite this apparent psychic link, SCP-1446 does not appear 
to be self aware. While manifestations lean towards the artistic and 
abstract, occasionally fanciful depictions of the observer’s personal 
life do occur. This makes SCP-1446 a risk for possible information 
leaks; security and exposure procedures should reflect this. To date 
test subjects have shown no conscious control over the imagery 
created. 


+ Video of SCP-1446 Growing Under Observation 


SCP-1446 was an original display at an underground gallery event 
entitled TAZ-018, Moving Target. Held in the Warehouse 
District in , Oregon, people were killed in the initial 
exposure which the city originally interpreted as a disease outbreak 
or biological attack. No surviving promoters of the event have been 
located. Fliers for the event contained the following copy : 


A work of art isn’t static. It never stops being created. 
When paint touches canvas, the creation has only just 
begun. Now it’s time for the painter to step back and the 
critic to step forward. The observer breaths life into art, 
each one changing its meaning, building on it. The art 
feeds on their ideas, their beliefs, their dreams and 
nightmares and perceptions, they imbue the creation 
with meaning. The interplay between the art and the 
patrons blossoms outward, smothering the boundaries 
between them until one wonders if there were ever a 
distinction between artist and audience at all, or if art is 
just a moving target?

SCP-1447: Tulpa 


Item #: SCP-1447 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1447-1's current 
containment unit comprises an airtight 2.5m x 2.5m x 2.5m concrete 
container, reinforced with 6cm ablative steel plating and suspended 
within Bay 4. The cell exterior is to be inspected daily and any 
damage reported immediately. Dented or otherwise structurally 
compromised plating is to be patched; a reserve of replacement 
steel plate of the appropriate gauge is to be maintained at 30 square 
metres. Discovery of any hole or crack in the plating should be 
considered a breach of containment and SCP-1447-2's quarters are 
to be immediately secured. 


SCP-1447-2 is confined to his quarters, the location of which relative 
to SCP-1447-1's containment unit has been selected to minimise 
possible interaction between SCP-1447-1 and other Euclid and 
Keter-class SCPs as well as incorporating blast-proof screens and 
chokepoints to be employed in the event of a breach. Reasonable 
requests from SCP-1447-2 may be granted with the exception of 
any item which could facilitate external communication. SCP-1447-2 
may be consulted by maintenance staff on issues relevant to his 
primary area of expertise - however, following Containment Breach 
1447-01, SCP-1447-2 is no longer granted freedom of the facility. 


SCP-1447-2 is to spend at least 4 hours a day meditating on the 
following topics: 'SCP-1447-1 is getting weaker’, 'SCP-1447-1 is 
dying’, 'SCP-1447-1 is unable to maintain physical form’. Any 
qualified practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism on-site are instructed to 
participate in these sessions. Topics which could imply a 
containment breach such as 'SCP-1447-1 is going away’, 
'SCP-1447-1 is being reabsorbed into my mind' or similar are not to 
be employed. Failure by SCP-1447-2 to comply with this procedure 
is punishable by removal of requested items and privileges. 


Description: Although current containment measures and the 
speeds at which SCP-1447-1 typically move make close observation 
impossible, initial recovery and SCP-1447-1's numerous breach 
attempts have substantiated eyewitness reports of its appearance. 
SCP-1447-1 is a quasi-physical humanoid entity resembling an 
Asian male in traditional Tibetan Buddhist monastic garb; its face is 
visually distorted and indistinct, even when viewed on high-speed 
footage. 


SCP-1447-1 typically remains in constant motion - frequently in 
excess of 200kph - for approximately 20 hours a day, which time is 
chiefly spent attacking the interior of its cell. Reinforcing 
SCP-1447-1's containment unit with hardened steel plating has 
been successful in reducing the incidence of breaches but has not 
proven totally immune to SCP-1447-1's efforts. SCP-1447-1 is very 
capable of exploiting small breaches in its containment unit and is 
able to insert itself through apertures as small as 200um in diameter. 


SCP-1447-1 is largely resistant to standard-issue sidearms - higher 
caliber munitions appear to temporarily disrupt SCP-1447-1's 
physical form, causing it distress, and have been effective at forcing 
it back into containment. High explosives have proven effective at 
completely dissipating SCP-1447-1; however, when attacked in this 
manner SCP-1447-1 has shown the capacity to rematerialise 
anywhere in the immediate vicinity, ignoring any intervening barriers. 
Furthermore, during Breach 1447-05 SCP-1447-1 apparently 
goaded security personnel into employing explosives near the 
containment area of SCP- __, resulting in an additional breach event. 


Attempts at communication with the entity to determine sentience 
remain inconclusive - although SCP-1447-1 responds to questions 
its vocalisations are largely unintelligible; analysis has revealed 
them to be garbled versions of mantras in the Tibetan Buddhist 
tradition, repeated hundreds of times a second. SCP-1447-1 is not 
implacably hostile to human life and remains focused on reaching 
and killing SCP-1447-2. However, Foundation personnel who 
attempt to impede its progress are subject to attack and if frustrated 
in its efforts it has been observed to become indiscriminately violent. 


SCP-1447-2 is a 5 -year-old Caucasian male who claims to be 
, a computer hardware and software entrepreneur of some note. 


SCP-1447-2 has been unable to explain the continued activity in the 
public eye of his namesake, a figure who shares SCP-1447-2's 
alleged identity and life history, but has speculated that he may be 
an imposter hired by his business associates. His counterpart is to 
be kept under surveillance by Foundation personnel as another 
possibility is that either SCP-1447-2 or his counterpart is an entity 
similar to SCP-1447-1. 


Recovery Log 1447 


SCP-1447-2 claims that a lamasery allegedly located in Qinghai 
province, China provided him with the location of Site-73 and arrived 
thereon // seeking sanctuary from what he described as a 
‘tulpa' (see Interview 1447-21). Two days later Site-73 came under 
repeated attack by SCP-1447-1, resulting in the deaths of two 
Agents. SCP-1447-2 was evacuated via plane and the attacks 
immediately ceased. 


SCP-1447-2 was transported to London and subsequently moved to 
Site-60 - SCP-1447-1 took under three weeks to locate the site, 
again attempting to breach its security and gain access to 
SCP-1447-2. On-site personnel were ultimately able to funnel the 
entity into an early version of its current containment unit at 
significant cost in terms of expended human and material resources. 


Addendum 1447-01 


SCP-1447-2 has been informed of the death of his counterpart; he 
requested a full medical checkup, which was granted. Tissue and 
hair samples taken from SCP-1447-2 show no anomalous 
characteristics. 


SCP-1447-2 remains convinced that he will be successful in the 
destruction of SCP-1447-1 through the application of methods of 
concentration and meditative practice. Successive breaches have 
indicated no change in the capabilities of SCP-1447-1 to date. 
However, it is noteworthy that the entity's activity within its 
containment unit is severely curtailed during periods in which 
SCP-1447-2 engages in focused meditation on the abolition of the 
tulpa. Thermal imaging reveals that SCP-1447-1 is almost 
completely still during these periods, adopting the vajra meditation 


position. Foundation consultants versed in the Tibetan Buddhist faith 
have posited that SCP-1447-1 may be sufficiently sentient to be able 
to meditate on its own existence, thus reasserting itself. 


Addendum 1447-02 


Proposals are under consideration to incorporate means of 
disrupting SCP-1447-1's meditation into its containment unit - the 
incorporation of a hydrochloric acid bath similar to that employed in 
the containment of other Keter-class SCPs is presently considered 
too likely to lead to a breach via the delivery mechanism; other 
possibilities include microwave emitters to heat the interior of the 
unit and high-volume sonics proven to inhibit concentration.
