Only one person is capable of being inside SCP-2508 at a time. As 
an individual enters, however, they will become incapable of leaving. 
The reason for this comes from the fact that as one exits the 
property of SCP-2508 on one end, they will find themselves arriving 
at the other end. This looping - or recursive - geographical space is 
what prevents escape from SCP-2508. At this point the reader may 
be growing aware of the implications of what has just been 
described. It should be clarified that - as escape from SCP-2508 is 
impossible, and SCP-2508 is not believed to have any real world 
location - sending information to the outside world is not a 
possibility. Barring an unforeseen scenario, all material regarding 
SCP-2508, including this document, is confined within SCP-2508 
itself. 


Therefore, if you are reading this document, you are now the current 
resident of SCP-2508. All of your duties to The Foundation of the 
outside world are (unofficially) null and void. The current working 
theory is that The Foundation at large has no knowledge of this 
place whatsoever. The information presented in this document has 
not been subject to review by The Foundation as a whole, but 
instead is the culmination of each individual Foundation member 
who has lived and died in the isolation of SCP-2508. 


Herein lies more unexplained characteristics of SCP-2508. All 
recorded past residents have been Foundation personnel of 
clearance level 1 or higher. The reason for this remains unclear, but 
research suggests that (judging from water levels of SCP-2508-1 
when new residents arrive) if a resident of SCP-2508 dies, they are 
replaced by a new resident within the same day. Depending on your 
predecessor's cause of death, you may have some cleaning up to 
do!. 


SCP-2508-1 


SCP-2508-1. 


SCP-2508-1 is a wood and metal pump-like device in the 
attic. The machine has a height of 1 m and is affixed to 
the floor. Water put into the machine is pumped 
throughout the day to an unknown location via a series of 
six small PVC pipes that run from the bottom end of the 
machine to a small hole in the wall. If fully filled, 
SCP-2508-1 will drain in approximately 30 hours. A 
plaque built into the device contains the following written 
passage: 


Please fill this machine once per day at 
noontime. We cannot arrive with as much 
haste if the machine runs dry. We hope you 
understand, and trust that you will keep your 
side of the arrangement now that we have kept 
ours. Thank you. 


Failing to fill the machine as instructed appears to have 
degenerative effects on both SCP-2508 and the 
individual who lives there. Allowing the device to remain 
empty for a prolonged period of time is believed to be 
fatal2. It is advised that you heed the instruction. 


SCP-2508-2 


SCP-2508-2 (hatch not pictured). 


SCP-2508-2 designates the patch of organic material in 


the basement. The material is of green coloration with 
small amounts of red and purple hues. It is not of any 
known species of plant. This material will 
photosynthesize if allowed sunlight through a hatch (due 
to the structure of the basement, this hatch is placed 
slightly above ground level), and will occasionally bloom 
with blue flowers. Some have reported hearing a static 
sound coming from the object, or a faint red glow coming 
off of it in intermittent pulses. Translated from Morse 
code, these pulsations read: 


Thanks for keeping the plants fed. Hit a snag 
in traffic, might take a bit longer than expected. 


Like with SCP-2508-1, the hatch for SCP-2508-2 also 
has a plaque on it. Its text has been provided below. 


Please keep this hatch open only in good 
weather. Please keep it closed for rain, snow, 
and the chill of winter. Thank you. 


Addendum: The record archive in the study has proven to be the 
most efficient way for cataloging and compiling research for future 
residents. However, a miscellaneous section was also added at 
some point’ to record the thoughts of those trapped here. You may 
feel free to read up on your predecessors. Provided below is an 
example intended to prime you for your stay here. 


Show Excerpt 


"| was driving home when it happened. It was 
about a 30 minute commute through a lot of 
back roads, and | was terribly drunk. It was 
one of those "XK Class Scenario averted, let's 
celebrate" occasions, so | didn't really hesitate 
to down more than my fair share of wine. 
When | arrived at my front porch, car askew so 
that the front tires dug into the dirt on my front 
lawn, | stumbled for the door. After a great 
amount of fidgeting | managed to to get my 
key in the lock, and finally got the door open. 


But then when | looked around, it wasn't my 
house at all. It was this place. Dumbfounded, | 
went back outside. Surely, | thought, | had 
accidentally entered another house in my 
drunken stupor. But now not even the outside 
was as expected. The suburban-urban 
environment had shifted to a countryside. My 
car was still there, sitting on the asphalt road 
which was now a dirt road. Everything was 
different, and it was never quite the same. 


That was all 23 years ago. No doubt my 
position as O5 was replaced long, long ago, 
and here | am, having found startlingly few 
answers. Every once in a while I'll find an old 
shoe or a photograph of someone who came 
before me, and | am reminded how we are all 
chained together in an oblivious and obligatory 
service to this place. 


Lately the clouds keep rolling in, and the plants 
in the basement are buzzing more than usual. 
| hear the gurgling of water draining through 
the pipes in the walls from that old dusty 
machine, and sometimes | try to find where 
that water goes. | think it goes out beyond the 
house, into the grassy field in front of the 
swing set. When | lay on the grass, 
sometimes, if | listen very closely and 
everything else is quiet, | swear | can hear 
noises coming from far below the ground. 
They sound like some kind of clockwork 
mechanism, its gears quietly humming. | don't 
know what it means, and | don't think | ever 
will. 


Undoubtedly, the most puzzling thing about 
this place is really quite a small feature. 
There's a computer terminal in the study, and 
it looks like it's one of the oldest things in the 


localized temporal anomaly around SCP-281. The area affected is a 
spherical field with an approximate radius of six meters, centered on 
SCP-281 and designated SCP-281-1. Personnel and items outside 
this anomaly are not affected in any way. How the device creates 
the temporal anomaly is unknown at this time. The kitchen timer 
component of SCP-281 will display 9:00 when SCP-281-1 is created 
and begin counting down. Setting the kitchen timer to any other 
amount of minutes or seconds prior to activation does not appear to 
have any effect on SCP-281's functioning. 


Within SCP-281-1, time passes at a highly increased rate, with nine 
minutes lapsing inside it compared to approximately one millisecond 
outside. From the perspective of those inside the temporal anomaly, 
time moves at a normal rate while outside of SCP-281-1 time 
appears to have effectively stopped.! Subjects within SCP-281-1 
can move around within its limits, but attempts to have subjects 
cross from an active instance of SCP-281-1 into an area beyond its 
influence have invariably resulted in subjects undergoing massive 
and acute cellular disruption along the line separating those parts 
inside and those outside of SCP-281-1. A similar effect has been 
observed on subjects and objects brought into an instance of 
SCP-281-1 from outside its area of effect. It has proven possible to 
move SCP-281-1 by transporting SCP-281 to a different location 
while active, but any materials, biological or otherwise, immediately 
suffer a massive cellular and molecular disruption as described 
above. Any organic material present within SCP-281-1 when the 
device is activated is subject to normal biological processes over the 
period of time that lapses inside SCP-281-1. 


To those outside of SCP-281-1, no time appears to have passed. If 
subjects present in an active instance of SCP-281-1 have moved 
during the period of time SCP-281-1 was active, they will seem to 
have teleported to their new location. 


As the timer reaches zero minutes and zero seconds, the alarm 
sounds again and time inside and outside of the instance of 
SCP-281-1 are instantaneously resynchronized. Due to the abrupt 
nature of this event, subjects inside SCP-281-1 when the nine- 
minute period expires, suffer effects resembling severe 
decompression sickness. Known treatments for that condition have 


house. It's clearly Foundation, but it's... 
Unsettling, to say the least. We would have 
known about this if the Foundation knew, I'm 
sure. But if that's truly the case, then it still 
doesn't explain how the anomaly got its 
number designation. Is it arbitrary, or is it 
actually cataloged in the outside world? | don't 
think it's possible to know from here. 


Sometimes | feel like I'm waiting for 
something, or for someone. It's not for 
someone to save me, but it's as if I'm waiting 
to meet someone here. | dream of what that 
meeting might be, or why it might be in the first 
place. But somewhere deep down | know that | 
will almost certainly die here, and this long wait 
will be passed down to another, to continue 
waiting with bated breath for something, 
though what exactly that something is we can't 
be sure of. 


Maybe someday I'll learn how the food gets 
restocked."

SCP-2509: Hardware Pets 


Item #: SCP-2509 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2509 are 
to be housed in individual Standard Safe Zoological Containment 
Units. Entities are to have access to an Outdoor Containment Area 
for four hours each day. SCP-2509 objects require no sustenance, 
but are to be provided weekly with canine toys. Staff are not 
permitted in SCP-2509 enclosures. 


Description: SCP-2509 consists of five objects: (U.S. Units per 
official object description) 


* SCP-2509-a: Wilton 4lb Head 12" Sledge Hammer 
* SCP-2509-b: RYOBI Cordless Power Drill P205 

¢ SCP-2509-c: Fiskars 8" Hedge Shears 

¢ SCP-2509-d: Wooster Majestic 2" Paintbrush 

* SCP-2509-e: Echo 16" Gas Chain Saw 


All objects are animate, capable of movement by rapidly slamming 
themselves against the ground while pivoting and tilting forward. 
Instances are also capable of jumping and rearing up as though they 
possess hind legs. Each entity's primary interaction with individuals 
and objects is expressed through that item's primary function. It 
should be noted that SCP-2509-b and SCP-2509-e operate 
continuously without need of energy source or fuel. 


Testing shows all objects demonstrate the approximate intellect, 
behaviors, and general mannerisms of Canis lupus familiaris'. 
Instances are very friendly towards humans, but seem unaware of 
both their anomalous form and the hazards they present. As a 
result, interaction with SCP-2509 entities is extremely dangerous. 


Behavior analysis of individual instances shows identical responses 


during testing. As such, researchers theorize that objects are 
separate iterations of the same source intelligence. 


Discovery Log: SCP-2509 was discovered in , TX, USA by 

County Police officers after noise complaints were filed against 
Mark G_ . Embedded Foundation personnel reported anomalous 
activity on / / at0423 hours. Mobile Task Force Theta-14 ("Pound 
Puppies") was sent to the scene. Discovering officers were 
successfully amnesticized. 


SCP-2509 entities were found inG_'s home garage. MTF-Theta-14 
contained the instances, though minor injuries were incurred. Agents 
discovered G_'s body on floor. Cause of death was loss of blood 
and extreme physical trauma, presumably caused by SCP-2509 
objects. Also discovered was the body of a Canis lupus familiaris, 
breed Golden Retriever. Animal showed no signs of injury; necropsy 
confirms it died of lymphosarcoma? several days prior. Investigation 
of the home discovered multiple framed pictures of G___ with the 
animal in question. 


Several ritualistic items and mathematical diagrams of an unknown 
nature were also found beside the bodies; however, objects were 
badly damaged, and little could be determined about their origin. 
Also found was a book entitled Mathematical Incursions Intersecting 
Transubstantive Constructs. (See Excerpt Below) No indication of 
author or publisher could be found. 


Disinformation campaign following G's death was minimal as 
background check discovered no known relatives or close 
associates. Official cause of death was listed as suicide. 


Excerpt from Mathematical Incursions Intersecting 
Transubstantive Constructs

SCP-2510: Our Broken Salvation 


Item #: SCP-2510 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Armed Dimensional 
Containment Site-08 was successfully constructed around the 
entrance to SCP-2510's interior. No personnel are to enter 
SCP-2510-1 without authorization by Site Command. Type A 
hazmat suits are mandatory within SCP-2510-1, as is 
decontamination upon exit. Armed guards are to be in place at all 
times in order to prevent unauthorized access to the facility. In the 
event of a security breach by civilians or hostile entities, lethal force 
is authorized - in the event of a security breach from within 
SCP-2510-1, the on-site nuclear device will be detonated. Armed 
Dimensional Containment Site-08 is to maintain the facade of a 
French satellite tracking station. 


Research staff must include individuals versed in Linear B,! ancient 
automation, Pythagoreanism, and early Church of the Broken God 
history and doctrine. A disinformation campaign continues to falsify 
scientific reports, perpetuating the belief that SCP-2510 is strictly a 
landmass formed through a series of large volcanic eruptions 110 
million years ago. 


Special precautions must be taken when exploring SCP-2510's 
interior; some sections contain dangerous levels of ionizing radiation 
(> ~0.1 Gy). As SCP-2510 cannot be contained in its entirety due to 
its colossal size, security measures designed to prevent extensive 
visitation of SCP-2510 and access to its interior are present/are 
enacted. 


Description: SCP-2510 is a machine, primarily submerged within 
deep water, geographically known as the Kerguelen Plateau. Its 
current state was created due to the cumulative effects of rust, 
sedimentation, volcanic activity, and large structural deformation of
