Text — That the Grokodus shall not seek more to 
escape our Edict into the view of Man, let its judgement 
be remembered by all whose Shadows cross its awful 
Shadow. Thus shall the Grokodus find chains where it 
would find form. That the Grokodus shall not try our 
Judgement in the world of Death, here we speak to those 
of Ours who would help it to test those bonds — when 
you fail, your Will and Act shall evermore serve to keep 
the Grokodus of the Earth. 

Effects — No consistently observed effect, though while 
2079-Penance is in effect, SCP-2079-B will occasionally 
bite the hand off of individuals who try to attack it. 


Though SCP-2079-B will typically then spend some time 
observing and trying to interact with the severed hand, 
this appears to serve no purpose.

SCP-2080: Dads House 


Item #: SCP-2080 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2080 is contained in situ 
and has been boarded up and declared condemned as cover. Two 
personnel are to be posted at Observation Point 2080 for 
monitoring. Any civilians found on SCP-2080's property are to be 
detained and questioned, with amnestics administered if needed. 


Instances of SCP-2080-1 are not to be removed from SCP-2080. 
Should an activation event occur, all instances of SCP-2080-1 are to 
be allowed access to SCP-2080, and all instances of SCP-2080-2 
are to be impounded at the conclusion of the event. Two instances 
of each are held in storage at Site-81 for experimentation. No further 
action is to be taken to free SCP-2080-1A. 


Description: SCP-2080 is a two-story house in Inkster, Michigan. It 
is the focus of a phenomenon involving the reduplication of an 
individual, Mr. . Herschel, Sr. (GCP-2080-1) and a blue 2001 
PT Cruiser (SCP-2080-2). Experimentation has verified instances of 
SCP-2080-1 to be genetically identical, and instances of 
SCP-2080-2 to exhibit scratches and dents located in precisely the 
same positions. Instances of SCP-2080-1 cannot communicate, and 
only repeat thirty-four distinct phrases. (See Document 2080-02a for 
a full list.) Approximately 96% of the available space within 
SCP-2080 is filled with instances of SCP-2080-1, including the 
interiors of closets, cabinets and appliances. Imaging suggests % 
of SCP-2080-1 instances are animate. 


Activation events occur whenever one or more instances of 
SCP-2080-1 is removed from SCP-2080. Within ten minutes, an 
instance of SCP-2080-2 containing four instances of SCP-2080-1 
will approach from the south, progress as far up the driveway as 
possible, and collide with other SCP-2080-2 if present. Instances of 


SCP-2080-1 will enter SCP-2080, compacting the mass of 
SCP-2080-1 further into the interior. The activation event will end 
when the previous number of instances of SCP-2080-1 is reached. 
This can result in a higher total number of instances, which will 
become the limit of future activation events. Since containment, 
there have been activation events, increasing the total number of 
SCP-2080-1 instances by 


SCP-2080-1A is thought to be the original instance of SCP-2080-1, 
and is the only instance capable of communication. It is located in 
the master bedroom of SCP-2080, pinned between other 
SCP-2080-1 with its head visible in the window. SCP-2080-1A has 
expressed pain during activation events. Rescue attempts have 
been unsuccessful, and due to enactment of current containment 
procedures, communication with SCP-2080-1A is no longer 
possible. 


Local police alerted Foundation agents in the Detroit, Michigan area 
to the existence of SCP-2080 after a report from Herschel- 
Jackson, Jr., who is believed to have witnessed the initial series of 
activation events. Transcript of intake interview follows. 


Interviewed: Herschel-Jackson, ur. 
Interviewer: Agent Arnstadt, Detroit field office 
<Begin Log, 13:45> 


Arnstadt: Mr. Herschel-Jackson, I'm Agent Arnstadt. I'm 
here to ask you a few questions. 


Jackson: Uh, yeah, all right. 


Arnstadt: When was the last time you spoke with your 
father? 


Jackson: This morning, before, you know. 


Arnstadt: What happened? Did anything about him 
seem different? 


Jackson: Well, | wasn't really paying attention to that, on 


account of we got in a fight. 
Arnstadt: What did you fight about? 


Jackson: I, uh, he didn't like, you know, who | was 
dating. Cause he's not a chick, you know? Dad said 
some nasty shit, and | did too. Like, that | didn't want to 
talk to him ever again. And then | like left, you know? 


Arnstadt: What happened after you left? When did you 
first notice something was wrong? 


Jackson: Sorry, okay, sorry, I'm good. I, uh, it was pretty 
much almost right away the shit got weird, like, | was just 
kind of stomping around, y'know, not going anywhere 
really, and then | seen this car coming up the road. 
Caught my eye cause it looked like dad's car. And then | 
realize, it is. Same license plate, you know? It goes by, | 
look in the window, right, and there he is, smiling and 
waving like what just happened didn't. And then another 
One came, and another one after that, and they just kept 
coming. And every single one, the cars, there's my dad, 
driving and waving out the passenger side and sitting in 
back all at once, and all smiling like | never said shit to 
him. They just kept coming. 


Arnstadt: It says in the police report that you ran back to 
the house. 


Jackson: Yeah, and all those cars kept following me, 
just more and more. | get to the driveway, there's like a 
ton of cars just in a pile. Tried the front door, nothing, it 
wouldn't budge. And then the back door... 


Arnstadt: All right, that's fine, that's enough. Thank you, 


Jackson: Do you, do you think it's my fault? 


Arnstadt: | don't, we're not sure why this is happening. | 
doubt it's your fault, really. Don't worry, you'll be taken to 


your family and we'll see what we can do to help your 
dad. 


Jackson: Thank you, Ms. Agent. It's just, | really wish | 
could take it all back, you know? What | said. 


Arnstadt: I'll see what we can do. 
<End Log, 14:04> 


Closing Statement: After a standard quarantine period, 
Herschel-Jackson, Jr. was amnesticized and 
released to the custody of his grandparents with a cover 
story of a gas leak causing the death of Herschel, 
Sr. Ashes were provided to the family for dispersion in 
accordance with Jackson, Sr.'s will. No further 
contact with the family of SCP-2080-1A is required. 


Excerpts from Document 2080-02a 


Look, I'm sorry, don't cry, there's another 
game next month, and we can go then, | 
promise. 


Hey, all right, look at those grades! Didn't | say 
it'd be worth it? 


Just do this one thing for me, give me this one 
night out, and we can go wherever you want 
this weekend. 


[Singing] \'m sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh! I'm for 
real, yeah! | never meant to make your 
daughter cry, | apologized a trillion times! 
[Laughter] 


I'm sorry. You're still my son, and | still love 
you, and that's all that matters.

SCP-2081: Making Your Dreams Your Reality 


Item #: SCP-2081 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2081 are to be keptina 
standard Safe-class locker, with each instance held securely closed 
by two strong elastic bands to prevent accidental exposure. 
Duplication of SCP-2081's contents does not reproduce the 
anomalous effects, and as such any copies created are not subject 
to special containment procedures. Copies created for research or 
other purposes are not to be taken off-site. 


Description: SCP-2081 are multiple identical copies of an 82-page 
hardback volume entitled 'Making Your Dreams Your Reality: 
Lucidity for Beginners’, purporting to be an informal guide to lucid 
dreaming. The author is cited as Dr. , a Supposed expert 
in circadian neuroscience; however, investigations have thus far 
failed to trace anyone of this name and description and it is believed 
to be a pseudonym. SCP-2081's title is apparently derived from a 
quotation referenced in the book's introduction, headed 'Why 
Lucidity?': ‘If [the dreamer] has these lucid dreams often, they can 
even have an effect on his confidence, mood and general well-being 
in the waking world — lucid dreaming is truly a way to make his 
dreams become his reality.’ The origin of the quotation is not stated. 


The contents of SCP-2081 range from simple instructions for 
achieving lucidity to a section titled ‘Prophecies and Alternate 
Worlds’, which discusses differing views of dreams across history 
and cultures. The tone is predominantly light-hearted, although this 
is inconsistent throughout the volume. A combination of British and 
American English terms and spellings are used throughout, 
apparently arbitrarily, with terms such as 'metastasise’ and 'vaporize' 
appearing within the same paragraph. The possibility that SCP-2081 
may have multiple authors has not been ruled out. 


Subjects who had been exposed to SCP-2081's contents were 
assessed by Foundation staff, and those deemed suitable for further 
study were transferred to isolated rooms in the site's psychiatric 
wing on / /20 . All describe experiencing vivid auditory and 
sometimes visual phenomena during sleeping periods, and have 
been shown via video footage and EEG tracings to be waking fully 
for anywhere from seconds to minutes each night. Despite the 
purported nature of SCP-2081, phenomena experienced by the 
subjects are therefore being classed as waking hallucinations rather 
than genuine lucid dreaming events. The relation (if any) between 
these phenomena and real world events is as yet indeterminate and 
is the subject of ongoing analysis. 


All subjects report both total paralysis (with the exception of eye 
movement) and feelings of extreme terror for the duration of each 
incident. Once subjects' panic has subsided, usually to minutes 
after hallucinatory effects cease, they return to a normal sleeping 
state. On awakening subjects are able to recall auditory 
hallucinations with abnormal accuracy, quoting spoken passages for 
up to. minutes without hesitation. This recall shows no sign of 
fading over time. 


Further investigation has revealed that all subjects believe 
themselves to be waking in near-total darkness, even when video 
monitoring clearly shows that the room is fully lit by sunlight or 
electric bulbs throughout the sleep period. Subjects’ pupils have 
additionally been shown to be dilated in a manner consistent with 
adaptation to darkness, even under bright lighting. During incidents, 
researchers remained present in the observation chamber and 
attempted to communicate with subjects, but no response was made 
to visual, auditory or tactile stimuli. Once fully awakened, subjects 
were apparently unaware that researchers had been present at all 
during the incident. Testing of subjects' sensory perceptions during 
waking hours produced normal results. 


from the start of the observation period, sedatives were 
administered to all subjects to alleviate their growing distress in the 
hours before sleep and their resulting uncooperative behaviour; 
however, no known sedatives were found to prevent waking or 
hallucinations. Administration of amnestics was successful in 


removing subjects' knowledge of contact with SCP-2081, but had no 
effect on waking incidents. 


At the present time it should be assumed that SCP-2081's effects 
are permanent, that subjects do not become accustomed to them 
over time, and that no countermeasures exist. 


Recovery Log: Between / /20 and / /20 , instances of 
SCP-2081 appeared in libraries, bookshops, community centres and 
one church in , -How and why items were distributed to these 
locations remains unclear. The Foundation was alerted to the 
existence of SCP-2081 following a sharp increase in the number of 
patients in the area presenting with sleep-related issues. copies 
have thus far been secured by the Foundation; however, the total 
number of existing copies is currently unknown, and there is no 
record of the existence (current or past) of , the publishing 
house named in the items' edition pages. 


Note added / /20 : Following an increase in subjects’ paranoia and 
aggressive behaviour towards researchers, in-person interviews 
have been suspended until further notice. Written records are 
instead to be collected from subjects, including all events and 
approximate timings, and entered by researchers into the log.

Note added / /20 :On / /20 one subject was taken for an 
emergency and was reported by the surgeon to have opened 
her eyes for approximately seconds during the course of the 
operation. After this point the normal effect of the anaesthetic was 
immediately re-established. Upon normal awakening, the subject 
reported having experienced no pain and indeed having been 
unaware that the operation was taking place at all.
