Aerial view of the town. 5 white Mil Mi-28 and 
one Ka-52 attack helicopter appear in camera 
view, two carrying between them what appears 
to be sort sort of explosive. The markings on 
the device are identical to what Foundation 
assets in this region may use in such an event. 
One helicopter leads, and fires a missile at a 
clearing in front of it. 


Fixed, close up view of a 10 meter area on the 


incapable of passing through minerals that have been generated by 
processes other than sedimentation, including igneous and 
metamorphic rock. The geological layer directly beneath the 
inhabited shale consists of granite and quartzite, which forms a 
natural barrier to their spread. 


During the construction of Site-44, the fossils were discovered to be 
capable of moving through and inhabiting hardened concrete. 
Construction and containment procedures have been modified 
accordingly, and all infested concrete samples destroyed. 


Almost 900 species of fossil have been catalogued in SCP-477 so 
far, many unknown to mainstream science. Predators, prey 
organisms, and vegetation are all represented, and interact with 
each other in a manner consistent with a functioning ecosystem. 
Despite their lack of soft body parts or any biochemistry that could 
conceivably support life, the fossils move, eat, and reproduce as 
though they were alive. As the fossil bed was isolated underground 
for millions of years, photosynthesis does not seem to be important 
to the ecology of SCP-477. The process from which the organisms 
derive energy is unknown. 


Foundation researchers have carefully exposed the entire 9 cm thick 
shale layer to facilitate observation and research of SCP-477. 


Incident 477-01: A large fragment of rock containing several 
instances of SCP-477 was somehow obtained by the 

Museum of Natural History and put on display. It was placed in 
contact with the museum's sandstone western wall, and one or more 
organisms escaped and multiplied. By the time Foundation 
personnel arrived, thousands of the creatures had infested the 
building, weakening structural integrity and collapsing an inner wall. 
The old wing of the museum was dismantled and ground into 
powder as part of a renovation project announced by the museum's 
board of directors.

Soldiers, 10 in total, with insignia matching 
those of MTF Nu-6 and 8, "Tachyon", and 
"Wetwork", are rappelling down from the 
helicopters. Several of the soldiers are 
equipped with portable flamethrowers and 
grenades in addition to their standard issue

revealed that the area is the same town hall 
square. 


A crew begins arming the device while a team 
sets a perimeter. Members of Nu-8 [DATA 
EXPUNGED] in preparation. The view from the 
camera is distant now, three blocks of the 
downtown is visible. 


The camera is suddenly covered by a thin 
black film. An anthropomorphic creature 
composed of black liquid appears to have 
launched itself off of the camera and toward 
the group. The camera begins to fall. The 
entity is finally seen being shot, midair, and 
explodes. 


Camera rotates rapidly while in descent. View 
swings down to reveal the ground; The earth is 
stretching as if it were organic material. The 
earth begins to "rip", something similar to 
television static is visible beneath the seams. 


The camera collides with the ground. A

machete bends into view to pick it up. She is 
breathing heavily, watching over her shoulder. 
She is covered in blood, and black fluid.

SCP-3686: Evan Deserves to be Remembered 


Item #: SCP-3686 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: 
Original Containment Procedures: 


SCP-3686 is to be contained within the security staff quarters of 
Satellite Office 102. SCP-3686 is to be fitted with a GPS tracker, and 
stored within a wood and glass flag display case. 


Mobile Task Force and Security Personnel may be recruited on a 
volunteer basis for a rotational roster to possess SCP-3686 within 
Satellite Office 102. Volunteers desiring to be added to this list can 
contact Satellite Office 102 security director Sgt. Danvers. 


Revised Containment Procedures: 


SCP-3686-2 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment 
chamber at Site-217. SCP-3686 is to fitted with a GPS tracking 
device, and stored within a wood and glass flag display case. 


At this time, no additional testing is required with SCP-3686. 
Requests to transfer SCP-3686 to a new instance of SCP-3686 are 
to be denied, without Level 4 approval. In the event of SCP-3686-2's 
death, SCP-3686 may be passed to a willing host, with Level 4 
approval. 


Description: SCP-3686 is a burial flag from the United States of 
America, dated to 2015, which creates a memetic memory construct 
in anyone who possesses SCP-3686 within certain conditions. 


SCP-3686's anomalous effect will only occur if the owner of 


SCP-3686 willingly possesses! SCP-3686. Testing with security 
personnel has shown that if SCP-3686 is given to an individual 
without their knowledge2, or without willing acceptance of the 
object, its anomalous effect will not manifest and will continue to 
present to its previous owner. Attempts to relinquish SCP-3686 
without a willing recipient have shown to have no effect on 
SCP-3686's memetic effect. It is hypothesized that if the current 
owner of SCP-3686 expires, SCP-3686-1's effect would not spread, 
beyond its usual mechanism. 


SCP-3686's specific memory construct is a belief that the current 
possessor of SCP-3686 had a brother named "Evan" hereafter 
referred to as SCP-3686-1. Subjects will invariably express that 
SCP-3686-1 was killed in action while serving in the U.S. Army 
forces in Afghanistan on October 22, 2015. 


SCP-3686-1 has been identified as Evan , brother of Pol-2722 
(see attached security report), who was confirmed killed in action on 
October 22,2015in __, Afghanistan.
