Agent Ahara (Apollo Lead): Apollo Home, 
this is Apollo Lead, how copy? Over. 


Apollo Home: Loud and clear Apollo Lead. 
Give us your sitrep, over. 


Agent Ahara (AL): We're sweeping the area 
now. Streets are empty. There's some sort of 
brown substance coating the doors and interior 
of multiple vehicles, trailing out into the alleys; 
almost looks like its spreading over the 
asphalt. No sign of activity on — scratch that 
Home, we've got seven... no, eight individuals 
down an alleyway; looks like civilians. Please 
advise, over. 


Apollo Home: Roger Lead, move in and 
confirm; over. 


Agent Ahara (AL): Wilco, over. Daniels, Hunt, 
Banderker, with me. And try not to touch that 
stuff, whatever it is. 


[Agents can be heard acknowledging Apollo 
Lead's command and taking position] 


Agent Hunt: [grunt] The smell! What in God's 
name is that shit they're rolling in? 


Agent Ahara (AL): Apollo Home, we have 
eight possibles. Five of them are rolling around 
in this... mass. It's filling the alley, and 
creeping up the walls too. Three of them are 
carrying stuff from down the street and 
dumping it into the thing; looks like garbage, 
mostly. Over. 


Apollo Home: Roger Lead, approach with 
caution and attempt communication; over. 


Agent Ahara (AL): Wilco Home, over. [pause] 
This is the police! All of you, stop what you're 
doing right now and put your hands in the air. 
Hello? Do you understand me? [pause] 
Banderker. 


Agent Banderker: (Hindi translation) <Hey, 
this is the police! Hands up, all of you!> 
[pause] No good, sir. 


Agent Ahara (AL): Individuals are not 
responding to verbal communication, Apollo 
Home. Firing a warning shot, over. [a single 
gunshot is heard; several seconds elapse] 
Well, that got their attention. 


Agent Banderker: Look at their faces. That 


infection is eating away at their skin, under all 
that... brown stuff. 


Agent Daniels: Why are they just staring at 
us? Are those rats crawling around in there 
with them? 


Agent Ahara (AL): Keep it together, Daniels. 
Banderker, try speaking to them now. Tell 
them we need them to cooperate. 


Agent Banderker: <Listen, we don't want to 
hurt any of you. All we require is your complete 
cooperation from this point on. Nod if you 
understand. [pause] Good, now we're getting 
somewhere.> 


They're listening. What now, sir? 


Agent Ahara (AL): Tell them to get up with 
their hands in the air and form a line. 


Agent Banderker: <Okay, all of you put your 
hands in the air. You two back there, that 
means you too - drop what you're carrying. 
Good. Now all of you on the ground, get up 
slowly. Yes, just like that. Now step out of that 
pile of... just take a few steps towards me. 
Form a line so | can see you all.> 


Agent Ahara (AL): Good work, Banderker. 
Apollo Home, individuals are... cooperative. 
How copy? 


Apollo Home: Solid copy, Apollo Lead. 
Standby for the arrival of the containment 
team; ETA in five mikes. Apollo Home out. 


Agent Ahara (AL): The containment team will 
be here in five guys, sit tight. Try to keep them 
occupied, Banderker. 


Agent Banderker: Will do, sir. 


<Listen, people; we're going to be taking you 
all somewhere safe, away from this filth. We 
will get you cleaned up and—> 


[loud vocalisations of distress are heard] 


<Hey, calm down! You, stop that! Get back in 
line!> 


Agent Ahara (AL): What did you say to them, 
Banderker?! 


Agent Banderker: | don't know, all | said was 
we were going to take them somewhere safe 
and clean that shit off of them! 


Agent Ahara (AL): Well, get them back in line! 
Threaten them if you have to - just do it! 


<Hey! Hey! All of you get away from there and 
line up right now or you will be shot!... [three 
gunshots are heard] This is your final warning! 
Get in line or | swear | will burn this disgusting 
pile of excrement with all of you in it!> 


[sudden silence, followed by an unidentified 
chattering sound] 


Agent Banderker: <What is th— 
[UNTRANSLATABLE EXPLETIVE]!> 


Agent Ahara (AL): Open fire, open fire! 


Agent Banderker: GET THEM OFF ME! GET 
THEM— [further speech is muffled]

Agent Ahara (AL): Apollo Home, come in! 
Where the hell is that containment team?! 


contact, causing them to cease all defensive behavior and attempts 
to flee until grappled. 


When threatened by a predator or otherwise agitated, SCP-252 
rapidly metamorphs into an unidentified aquatic life form of extreme 
size with an indeterminate physiology and extremely destructive 
demeanor. Physical attributes in this state are in a constant state of 
change. Size fluctuates between 50 and 75 meters in length with no 
fewer than 50 and occasionally as many as 200 appendages of 
various natures. Appendages shift constantly between suckered 
tentacles averaging 5 m in length, insectoid limbs terminating in 
barbed pincers, and humanoid arms and legs ending in sharpened 
talons. Details and positions of appendages on the body also vary 
randomly, with the only constant being a cluster of tentacles around 
the head obscuring the mouth area. It is not currently known how 
this rapid growth is achieved. Due to the potential for a containment 
breach no research on the matter is currently authorized. All animal 
life excluding other SCP-252 and mundane squid species will 
attempt to escape the vicinity by the most direct route possible. This 
fear response can cause the targets to harm themselves as they flee 
into hazardous conditions or ram repeatedly into container walls. 
Roughly 95% of subjects encountering an enraged SCP-252 
develop a phobia of cephalopods. It is not known if this is an 
additional anomalous effect or a normal behavioral reaction to 
traumatic experiences. 


Upon review of security footage during containment, Dr. has 
determined that SCP-252s "metamorphosis" is in fact an advanced 
hallucination induced by the shifting pattern of chromatophores. 
These hallucinations cause the victim to see SCP-252 as a titanic 
sea creature with an excessively large number of tentacles. Specific 
details vary greatly from subject to subject, but the hallucinatory 
creature consistently presents as a greatly exaggerated cephalopod 
with tentacles clustered around the mouth area, additional 
appendages with talons or pincers, and the general impression that 
all features are fluid and randomly shifting. Subjects removed from 
visual contact with SCP-252 will remain convinced that their 
hallucinations were a real "sea monster" and will attempt to 
rationalize any logical contradictions inherent in their delusion, such 
as a 100 m monster swimming in a 10 m enclosed tank. This

Open Post-Operational Interview 


Date: / /198 
Interviewer: Dr. Glen 
Interviewed: Agent Ahara 


<begin transcript> 


Dr. Glen: Good morning, Agent Ahara. How 
are you feeling? 


Agent Ahara: |'m fine, Glen. | don't need a 
psych evaluation. 


Dr. Glen: | understand. Could you describe to 
me the events that transpired yesterday in 
Delhi? More specifically, what happened to 
Agent Banderker. 


Agent Ahara: Well, we rounded up eight 
affected individuals in the alleyway; most of 
them were crawling around in this mass of 
god-knows-what, covered in the same brown 
stuff we saw on the walls and the streets 
before. Like pigs in the mud on a hot day. We 
managed to get their attention, eventually. 
Banderker spoke Hindi, so he was able to talk 
to them and get them to cooperate. After that, 
we were just waiting for the containment team 
to arrive. 


Dr. Glen: And then? 


Agent Ahara: Then he said something they 
didn't like. Told them we'd take them away, get 
that foul shit off them, clean them up. 
Something else as well. Don't remember. First 
they started crying and wailing like kids, 


throwing themselves back into the mass; 
desperate, like they were trying to bury 
themselves in it so we couldn't take them 
away. | told Banderker to make them get back 
in line, threaten them if necessary. So he 
yelled and screamed blue murder at them, and 
they just went on wailing... until they heard 
something he said right at the end there. They 
all went quiet, just staring at him. Then they 
started making this chittering noise with their 
teeth, all together. Christ, it got loud. That's 
when | realised it wasn't just the people 
making the noise. That's when the swarm 
came down on us. 


Dr. Glen: The swarm? 


Agent Ahara: Rats, flies, cockroaches... 
every kind of vermin you can think of. They 
erupted out of the mass, covered in that brown 
shit, and kept on coming like a river. The 
vermin and the people together went rushing 
for Banderker; | swear they were moving like 
one big angry animal. Three of those guys got 
to him before we could even react - two of 
them held Banderker down while the other one 
climbed on top of him and started... retching. 
More brown shit came pouring out of the guy's 
mouth, all over Banderker's face. He was 
screaming for help the whole time. Right 'til his 
mouth filled up... 


Dr. Glen: What did you do then? 


Agent Ahara: We gave the fuckers every 
bullet we had. Got all eight of the human 
targets, maybe a few dozen rats too. The 
containment team got there just in time; I'm not 
sure how they knew fire would do the trick, but 
it did. All the vermin, human or otherwise, 
burned to a crisp. Banderker too. 


Glen, the way that stuff was spreading, the 
way those things came for us... you're going to 
classify this thing Keter, right? 


Dr. Glen: Classification is currently pending, 
but | think it would be safe to say yes. 


Agent Ahara: Good... good... 


Do you think there's more of that stuff, doctor? 
Elsewhere, | mean? 


Dr. Glen: | don't know. | really don't.

Addendum 2194-01: 


As of / /2015, SCP-2194 quarantine zones exist. No means of 
permanent removal or disposal of SCP-2194 have yet been 
identified. Research is ongoing.

SCP-2195: Sons of the Nation 


Item #: SCP-2195 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Biological samples that are part 
of SCP-2195 are to be either preserved in formaldehyde solution, 
dried and stored in a vacuum container, or frozen, according to the 
method they were preserved with at the moment of discovery. 
Biological samples preserved through plastic infusion or stored ina 
solid synthetic resin block, as well as non-biological samples do not 
require any special containment procedures. Three low-level 
security vaults in Site 7 are designated for SCP-2195 storage. 


Non-deactivated late-term SCP-2195-1 samples are to be handled 
by trained personnel as per standard Foundation guidelines for 
handling bulk primary explosive substances. 

Research has shown that explosive materials contained within 
SCP-2195-1 degrade over time, therefore they are granted a 
storage period of 20 years and are to be incinerated afterwards. 


Documents acquired as part of SCP-2195 are to be digitalized and 
uploaded into the SCP-2195 documentation database; original 
documents are archived. 


Access to SCP-2195 documentation is restricted to personnel of 
2-2195 clearance or higher. 

Access to SCP-2195 samples is restricted to personnel of 3-2195 
clearance or higher. 

Experiments that involve reproduction of SCP-2195-1 require Ethic 
Committee approval. 


Description: SCP-2195 is a collective designation for documental 
and material evidence, specifically collected by unidentified 
individuals, that is related to a large-scale government project which 
involves mass reproduction of SCP-2195-1 for military purposes, 


specifically targeting the drawbacks of said project. SCP-2195 
includes biological samples preserved through various methods, 
demonstration and test articles, prototypes, and a variety of 
documents. The sum of documentation recovered was enough to fill 
19 (nineteen) shipping containers at the moment of discovery. 


Analysis of said evidence has shown that the project took place in 
political, historical and socio-cultural circumstances inconsistent with 
known reality, which suggests extradimensional or otherwise 
anomalous origin. 


Although no fully formed SCP-2195-1 were discovered within 
SCP-2195, recovered materials provide enough information to give 
a complete description of their appearance. SCP-2195-1 are living, 
genetically altered human infants of indeterminate sex (SCP-2195-1 
allosomes are identical, and contain genetic information from both X 
and Y chromosomes).
