Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1231 is contained in an 
unlit vault, dimensions 0.6 m x 0.8 m x 0.2 m, located in Site-20. 
Guards are posted outside of the vault, denying access to all 
personnel without direct and confirmed Level 5 authorization. A 
video camera is installed in the vault, taking a live feed of 
SCP-1231.1 This video is in turn fed through a specially designed 
program, displaying only the number of thumbnails and if there is a 
significant error. Access to the raw feed is strictly prohibited. A 
mouse is located near the terminal, but remains disconnected under 
normal circumstances. New personnel assigned to SCP-1231 must 
be hand-picked specifically for testing purposes. However, testing is 
currently suspended. 


Description: SCP-1231 is a black Amiga A1200 computer 
manufactured by Commodore International, missing all other 
identifying marks including its serial number. It runs independently 
despite the lack of a power source. SCP-1231 does not function as 
an Amiga A1200 should and generally only displays a screen full of 
thumbnails, named the "Primary Screen." SCP-1231 cannot be 
shifted from its current settings, and as of yet no other programs 
have been discovered on the computer. External attachments, such 
as mice and keyboards work normally. 


The Primary Screen contains 4104 thumbnails, organized in rows of 
twenty (20) ascending numerically.2 A scrollbar is located on the 
right side of the screen.3 The thumbnails display extremely low- 
resolution moving pictures. There is no audio Most videos do not 
contain audio; however, despite the lack of speakers on SCP-1231, 
sometimes low-decibel sounds can be heard. 


Clicking on a thumbnail causes the video displayed to increase in 


resolution and fill nearly the entire screen, except for a thin white bar 
on the top bearing the number of the thumbnail. Clicking a second 
time returns the screen to the Primary Screen. The videos are Beta- 
Gimmel infohazards. What is consistent in every video is the 
featuring of one of three unidentified subjects, known as 
SCP-1231-1, -2, and -3. SCP-1231-1 appears to be a tall middle- 
aged Caucasian man.4 SCP-1231-2 is a younger, shorter Asian 
woman’ SCP-1231-3 is a light-colored child, approximately four 
years of age.6 The videos are not in a time loop, although the same 
action is done repeatedly in the videos with only minor deviation. 


The misconception of one of the videos in SCP-1231 by any human 
causes a new thumbnail and video to be created, with the erring 
conception displayed.” No more than one new thumbnail can be 
created per minute. However, there are 4104 videos currently due to 
the bleeding of knowledge pertaining to an infohazard. Direct 
observation of SCP-1231 is not necessary for this effect to take 
place and simple knowledge of the videos can lead to speculations 
that create new thumbnails and videos. 


Excerpts from Document 1231-A: Thumbnail Descriptions 


Thumbnail 1: The only video present at recovery. 
SCP-1231-1, -2, and -3 appear [DATA EXPUNGED] 


Thumbnail 2: The setting is the same room as 
Thumbnail 1. Discovered on the second test of 
SCP-1231. Believed to have been created after 
exposure to Thumbnail 1. SCP-1231-2 is scooping an 
unknown powder with her left hand while SCP-1231-3 is 
asleep in her right arm. SCP-1231-1 is not on the screen.

Thumbnail 1. Discovered on the second test of 
SCP-1231. Believed to have been created after 
exposure to Thumbnail 1. SCP-1231-2 is asleep, while 
SCP-1231-3 is crawling over her. SCP-1231-1's leg is 
present in the upper right of the screen, although the rest 
of his body seems to be just outside of view. 


Thumbnail 4: The setting is the same room as 


Thumbnail 1. Discovered on the second test of 
SCP-1231. Believed to have been created after 
exposure to Thumbnail 1. SCP-1231-3 is mauling the 
pectoralis minor of SCP-1231-2. SCP-1231-1's mutilated 
right leg and pelvic region is located in the upper right 
portion of the screen. 


Thumbnail 39: The setting is the same room as 
Thumbnail 18. Discovered on the second test of 
SCP-1231. Believed to have been created after 
exposure to Thumbnail 24. SCP-1231-1 is dislocating 
and relocating SCP-1231-2's shoulder with his right 
hand, though both are standing erect. SCP-1231-3 is 
asleep in the upper left of the screen. 


Thumbnail 902: The setting is the same room as 
Thumbnail 600. Discovered on the second test of 
SCP-1231. Believed to have been created after 
exposure to Thumbnail 419. SCP-1231-1 is lying on top 
of SCP-1231-2, smashing SCP-1231-3 on the floor. 
SCP-1231-2 is completely motionless. 


Thumbnail 1170: The setting is the same room as 
Thumbnail 1053. Discovered on the second test of 
SCP-1231. Believed to have been created after 
exposure to Thumbnail 1004. SCP-1231-1 and 
SCP-1231-2 are kneeling facing the camera, drenched in 
blood, crying and mouthing non-discernible words. What 
appears to be the mutilated corpse of SCP-1231-3 is 
lying in front of SCP-1231-2. A low-pitched laughter is 
audible throughout. 


Addendum-01: Due to the high level of similarity between 
SCP-1231 and other encountered "soultraps," it has been deemed 
likely that the entities SCP-1231-1, -2, and -3 are real in some 
capacity. In light of this, | am formally requesting that testing on this 
object be halted. -Researcher __, Ethics Committee 


Addendum-02: Testing on SCP-1231 has been suspended 
indefinitely. The majority of personnel assigned to SCP-1231 will be 
administered a Class B amnesiac and transferred to a new project. - 
O5- 


Addendum-03: Processed video feeds of SCP-1231 have shown 
that the number of thumbnails is increasing despite the suppression 
of knowledge relating to SCP-1231. Something's wrong. -Dr. 


Footnotes 

1. Note that no external light source is necessary due to SCP-1231 
providing ~20 lux. 

2. Dr. theorizes that this also corresponds to their age, as newer 
thumbnails are given later numbers. 

3. More detailed analysis of the layout of the Primary Screen of 
SCP-1231 is located in Document 1231-B. 

4. No more consistent detail is discernible. 

5. Note that in later videos, the descriptions of SCP-1231-1, -2, and 
-3 vary significantly. 

6. SCP-1231-3 is theorized to be the child of SCP-1231-1 and -2 
due to the similar characteristics it displays. 

7. For example, if a subject were to believe that a video was of 
something that it is not, a new video would be created displaying the 
aforementioned scenario.

SCP-1232: Novosadov Syndrome 


Item #: SCP-1232 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-1232 are to 
be kept in cryogenic storage on Bio-Research Site-21. While 
experimentation upon SCP-1232 is permitted, experimental 
proposals need to be validated by a researcher of valid 2/1232 
clearance beforehand due to limited supply 

As of 12.03.1963, a process was devised to replicate SCP-1232 with 
reasonable efficiency (See Document 1232-Rho); as such, 
experimental proposals only require validation if it would be 
ordinarily required by the SCP Foundation Requisition Guidelines, 
sections C 1-7 and H 1-5. - Dr. Mihnea, Section Head 

As the time required for a majority of SCP-1232 testing greatly 
exceeds one month, D-class personnel involved in testing of 
SCP-1232 is exempt from monthly termination by default. 

Due to resistance of SCP-1232 to high temperatures, any items 
suspected of SCP-1232 contamination must be decontaminated by 
immersion in 1 molar NaOH solution, and subsequent heating in a 
gravity-displacement autoclave to 121 degrees Celsius for 30 
minutes, followed by sterilization as usual. (See Document 1232- 
Sigma for a complete list of approved procedures where the stated 
is not appropriate) 

Personnel manipulating SCP-1232 samples are to use Level-A 
hazardous materials protective clothing manufactured to standards 
outlined in Document 1232-Sigma. 


As instances of SCP-1232-1 in the first stage are difficult to separate 
from the general population, the recommended means of 
identification of such is working through those related to known 
SCP-1232-1 instances, assuming the most common symptom 
progression. In this stage, the removal of reproductive organs 
seems to halt the progress of the condition, and the residual 


symptoms are susceptible to treatment by most tricyclic 
antidepressants. 


Instances of SCP-1232-1 in the second stage are essentially 
untreatable due to the extent of disruption to physiologic processes 
taking place, furthermore, even if treated, their reintroduction to 
society would be problematic. As such, they are to be euthanised, or 
left to expire on their own, and cremated. 


Description: SCP-1232 is the designation given to a mixture of 
unknown proteins capable of causing a condition designated 
Novosadov Syndrome. The mechanism upon which it relies is poorly 
understood at the moment. 


SCP-1232 is the designation given to a mixture of misfolded variants 
of [REDACTED] proteins (prions), capable of causing a condition 
designated Novosadov Syndrome. The precise mechanism of action 
is unknown - administration of isolated constituent prions, or partial 
mixtures to human subjects had no discernible effects, or caused 
conditions only weakly related to the syndrome'’s symptoms. 


SCP-1232 does not denature easily by heat treatment alone, and 
can withstand temperatures of up to 230 degrees Celsius for roughly 
fifteen seconds - heating with basic agents, preferably NaOH, KOH 
or Ca(OH)2 of normality at least 1 has been shown effective. 


Novosadov syndrome is a progressively developing condition 
caused by the introduction of a sufficient quantity of SCP-1232 into 
human body - a dose of approximately 50 micrograms administered 
intravenously appears sufficient to cause the condition in 50% of 
tested D-class subjects. 


The onset of the condition can be split into two phases. 

During the first phase, which sets on approximately 1-3 weeks after 
the introduction of SCP-1232 into the subject's body, the subject 
(designated SCP-1232-1) will become increasingly perfunctory and 
depressed. Subjective assessment along with supporting evidence 
(e.g., penile plethysmography data) show a significant decrease in 
ability to feel sexual arousal. Of interest is that the appetite tends to 
stay unchanged in a disproportionate amount of cases compared to 
a control group where depression was induced chemically, and 


SCP-1232-1 during this phase have a tendency to gain weight, 
usually 10-15 kg over the duration. At this stage, no obvious 
physiologic changes are present! in males. In females, 
[REDACTED] instead of fluid. This phase tends to last between 6-8 
months. 


The second phase onset is marked by a sudden loss of appetite, 
elevated body temperature, insomnia, and increased secretion of 
androgens. During the onset, SCP-1232-1 report a subjective 
improvement to their demeanor. Significant quantities of SCP-1232 
are present in urine, and possibly other body fluids of SCP-1232-1 at 
this point. In addition, the menstrual cycle of female subjects is 
disrupted, with a large number of eggs beginning to mature, and the 
uterine lining thickening. In approximately 3% of the subjects, this 
results in acute endometriosis. 


Usually within the next five days, the libido of SCP-1232-1 will return 
and proceed to increase, becoming the defining trait of their 
behaviour, in the case of male instances of SCP-1232-1, 
overwhelming even their survival instinct towards the end of the 
period.2 Instances of both genders will aggressively attempt to mate 
with any suitable human, often settling for animals or inanimate 
objects if none are available. Male subjects tend to expire after a 
further 2-4 days due to a combination of exhaustion from lack of 
sleep and nutrition, and the collapse of the immune system caused 
by excessive testosterone levels. 

Female SCP-1232-1 can be separated into three groups. Those in 
which fertilization occurs late or not at all tend to expire due to the 
same reasons as male subjects. 


If fertilization occurs early, the androgen levels tend to drop, and 
SCP-1232-1's behavior will slowly normalize over the following days. 
The subsequent progress depends on the number of fertilized 
ovocytes surviving. The ovocytes nest and appear to undergo 
development accelerated roughly three times compared to regular 
embryos. In ~95% subjects, the amount of surviving ovocytes 
exceeds 20, and the subject likely expires during the first month of 
such pregnancy due to resulting complications. In the remaining 5% 
of subjects, the pregnancy progresses at the accelerated rate until 
the end of second month where the placentae [DATA EXPUNGED] 


sacs. Continuing to raise such feti in vitro is possible and once 
outside the mother's body, their growth rate will slowly decrease to 
match that of feti in the same development stage. Infants raised this 
way show no significant difference to control group. 


Recovery Log: SCP-1232 was first isolated from the bodily fluids of 
private V.1. Novosadov on / /1954, several months after he, along 
with a group of Soviet soldiers participated in the decommissioning 
of a then-discovered underground facility located in the territory 
German Democratic Republic. Private Novosadov was executed 
following his desertion, capture, and subsequent admission to 37 
cases of rape and sodomy, perpetrated in the village of , Polish 
People's Republic, in the vicinity of a Soviet military base, over the 
course of two weeks. Agent Golovanov4, by the time infiltrated within 
the Soviet army as a telegraphist, has managed to capture a coded 
depeche ordering the prompt incineration of Private Novosadov's 
remains, and was able to obtain tissue samples and a copy of the 
autopsy report. The events following this are unclear due to Agent 
Golovanov's death (See Personnel File 1934-135-13-IPG), however, 
it is known that all of Novosadov's surviving victims disappeared 
approximately two months after his execution.

TO: Dr. ter Meer 

FROM: Dr. Meiziger 

Fritz, | need you to talk about our project to at the 
ministry again. | got shouted at by Berger again 
yesterday - apparently they are expecting them to leap 
out of their mother's twat and grab a shovel or a rifle, 
while we haven't even fixed the slowdown, the rest of the 
troubles be damned. Hell, even if we get it to work, a 
fourfold increase is the most | can get - | said it's a long- 
term solution, not miracle work we're doing here. 
Besides, despite the [REDACTED], yesterday's bombing 
raid means half our supplies are in the devil's arse, and 
what's worse, Klaus was overseeing [REDACTED], and 
you know a good half of the synthesis process was his 


work alone. Anyways, write how will it go and send my 
greetings to Ilsa, she still works at [REDACTED] , not 
so?. As soon as we push the red swine out back again, 
and I'll be able to take a few days off, I'll jump on a train 
and come. 

Gott mit uns. 

Martin

1. Towards the end of this stage, approximately 22% of SCP-1232-1 
will release SCP-1232 through sweating. 

2. SCP-1232-1 can transmit SCP-1232 via sexual intercourse - this 
tends to occur successfully in approximately 25% cases under 
laboratory conditions 

3. At the time, Foundation agents were unable to determine the 
precise location or contents of the facility. Data obtained since 
indicates it was emptied and demolished by agents of GRU Division 
"P"on / /1955, and that the facility has formerly belonged to the 
Bayer pharmaceutic concern, at the time a part of IG Farben 
conglomerate. (See Addendum 1232-1)
