Results: A mailman named Fred delivers a letter to Will Navidson in 
page. Fred also appears as a bartender that attends Johnny, and 
one of the orderlies caring for Pelafina. SCP-423 expressed 
profound confusion after leaving this work. Of note is that all 
instances of "Fred" in the text were written in green.

SCP-3291: Flowers of Solomon 


Item #: SCP-3291 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Specimens of SCP-3291 are to 
be secured in a botanical containment facility at Site-872. They are 
to be contained within a monitored greenhouse environment large 
enough to house a non-anomalous version of SCP-3291. In the 
event that a contained specimen enters its active phase, all 
produced instances of SCP-3291-1 are to be collected and 
incinerated, and the acting site director is to be notified immediately. 


Seeds obtained from SCP-3291 are to be kept in a secure locker 
requiring security level 3 to access or otherwise incinerated. 


Upon discovery of a location that has experienced a complete 3291- 
AX scenario, a 1km security perimeter is to be established centered 
on the location, and Procedure 615-Memnon is to be executed at 
the site. 


Procedure 615-Memnon 


Procedure 615-Memnon Protocol: 

Once a 1km perimeter has been established 
around the control area, all vegetation within 
the control area is to be incinerated if present. 
Soil in the control area is then to be tilled no 
less than twice to ensure full coverage. Control 
area is then to be sprayed with Class A 
herbicides no less than twice to ensure full 
coverage. 


Control area is to be inspected weekly for 
signs of vegetation for the next 6 months. If 
any is found, it is to be incinerated immediately 


and the location in which it is discovered must 
undergo an additional iteration of the steps 
previously outlined. 


If no vegetation is discovered in the control 
area after 6 months, the control area will be 
considered neutralized and no further action is 
necessary. 


Upon the discovery of a currently active 3291-AX scenario, MTF-086 
("Wedding Crashers") is to be dispatched to secure a 1km perimeter 
around the location and initiate Operation 3291-AXN-Petrov. Victims 
of a 3291-AX scenario are considered acceptable casualties to 
prevent 3291-AX Phase 6 from occurring. 


Field Operation Guide 3291-AXN-Petrov 


Field Operations Guide 3291-AXN-Petrov 


Moble Task Force: MTF-086 
Callsign: "Wedding Crashers" 


Squadron 1: "Singer" 

Directive: Squadron consists of one sniper 
unit deployed at a distance of no less than 0.8 
kilometers from the control area. 

Objective: Termination of SCP-3291-2 before 
the beginning of 3291-AX Phase 3. 


Squadron 2: "Uncle Joe" 

Directive: Squadron consists of one assault 
unit, one medical unit and one containment 
unit on standby at a distance no less than 0.8 
kilometers from the control area. 

Objective: Secure, neutralize and contain 
control area after confirmation that 
SCP-3291-2 has been terminated. 


Squadron 3: "Mary" 

Directive: Squadron consists of two artillery 
units on standby at a distance of no less than 
0.9 kilometers from the control area. 
Objective: In the event that Singer squadron 
fails to terminate SCP-3291-2 before 3291-AX 
Phase 3 occurs, Mary squadron is to bombard 
the control area until all activity has ceased. 


Description: SCP-3291 is an anomalous strain of Citrus sinensis. | 
Specimens of SCP-3291 do not bear fruit while in its dormant phase, 
however they do bear flowers. If a flower from SCP-3291 is used in 
the construction of a wedding bouquet, the wedding event it is used 
in will trigger a 3291-AX scenario. 


3291-AX Scenario Documentation 


Description: A 3291-AX scenario begins as a 
standard wedding, in which a flower from 
SCP-3291 is used in the construction of the 
wedding bouquet, and consists of 6 phases. A 
3291-AX scenario can be prematurely 
neutralized before the final phase by 
terminating the bride, designated SCP-3291-2. 
Once the final phase has begun, the 3291-AX 
scenario cannot be neutralized until it has 
completed. 


Phase 1 

The wedding bouquet containing an SCP-3291 
flower will cause all additional flowers in the 
bouquet to become a deep shade of red, or 
become pure white.2 All other colors are 
eliminated from the bouquet. SCP-3291-2's 
hair also starts to take on a reddish hue. All 
subjects present at the event are unaware of 
any odd behavior by this point. 


Phase 2 


The individual presiding over the ceremony will 
not read the traditional wedding speech or 
vows, but will instead recite verses Solomon 
8:6 through 8:7. The verses will be spoken in 
Hebrew, even if the individual has no prior 
knowledge of the language. 


Phase 3 

The bridesmaids will approach SPC-3291-2 
and begin tearing at her dress and clothing 
until she is completely nude. While this is 
occurring, gathered spectators will begin 
constructing makeshift crucifixes out of any 
available materials, equaling the number of 
bridesmaids present. Spectators will then 
proceed to strip and crucify all bridesmaids in 
a circular pattern around the bride and groom. 
Their wrists will be slit during this process. 


Phase 4 

All spectators will kneel before SCP-3291-2 
and the groom, with their heads lowered and 
hands clasped together. A weapon matching 
the description of a Vered Jericho sword of 
unknown composition will manifest and the 
presiding individual will present it to the groom, 
who will then use it to slit the throat of the 
individual. The groom will then disembowel all 
spectators, beginning with SCP-3291-2's 
family and then his own. 


Phase 5 

The groom will present his left hand to 
SCP-3291-2, who will then consume his left 
ring finger, after which the groom will slit his 
left wrist and then stab himself in the heart. 


Phase 6 - FINAL PHASE 

An unknown figure, designated SCP-3291-3, 
will rise out of the collected pool of blood, as if 
ascending a flight of stairs. SCP-3291-3 
appears to be a male humanoid, with a bulky 
physique that stands approximately 1.8 meters 
at full height. Ethnicity cannot be determined, 
as all known records of this entity show him 
coated head to toe in blood. 


SCP-3291-3 will then approach SCP-3291-2 
and proceed to engage in sexual acts. Once 
finished, SCP-3291-2 will soontaneously 
combust, causing a fire that will quickly spread 
and consume anything in the immediate area. 
No known method has been found to 
extinguish the flames generated by this event. 
The fire will last for approximately 2 hours 
before it burns itself out, leaving behind 
nothing but a layer of fine ash. If left 
undisturbed for approximately 1 month after 
this event, a new grove of SCP-3291 will begin 
to grow at the location. 


To date, there are no known survivors of a 
3291-AX scenario, and all attempts to capture, 
contain, or terminate SCP-3291-3 have failed. 


If a 3291-AX scenario is triggered, the SCP-3291 instance that 
provided the flower used will begin to produce oranges for the next 
48 hours. This is considered SCP-3291's active phase. Fruit 
produced during this time period are classified SCP-3291-1. 
Consumption of any food or beverage made from SCP-3291-1 by a 
female human will cause the subject to develop a strong desire for 
marriage, and devote all of her time and resources into finding 
someone to marry. If the subject succeeds in engaging in a wedding 
ceremony, she will insist that flowers from the SCP-3291 instance 
which provided the orange they consumed be used in the 
construction of the wedding bouquet. Men are unaffected. 


Subjects under the effects of SCP-3291-1 seem to innately know the 


location of SCP-3291 during this period and will actively seek it out, 
even if they have no prior knowledge of its location. 


Addendum 3291-01: 
Case Study: SCP-3291-3 


Case #: 3291-16 
Subject: SCP-3291-3 
Author: Dr. Leonard Duvant 


Research indicates that SCP-3291-3 is 
possibly a manifestation of an entity controlled 
by King Solomon, or perhaps is a 
manifestation of King Solomon himself. 

It's been noted that during a 3291-AX event, 
the individual presiding over the wedding will 
always recite Solomon 8:6 through 8:7. A 
translation of the verses reads: 

8:6 "Place me like a seal over your heart, like 
a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as 
death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It 
burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame." 
8:7 "Many waters cannot quench love; rivers 
cannot sweep it away. If one were to give all 
the wealth of one’s house for love, it would be 
utterly scorned." 

The verses seem to have some correlation to 
the events that occur during a 3291-AX 
scenario. 

Also correlated is a Sethian tractate entitled 
"Apocalypse of Adam", which dates to around 
the 1st or 2nd century, refers to a legend in 
which Solomon sends out an army of demons 
to seek a virgin who had fled from him. 
Comparing this to the way SCP-3291-3 seems 
to operate, as well as its apparent motive, we 
can extrapolate that the purpose of the ritual is 
to 'capture' whoever this virgin is. According to 
reports however, SCP-3291-2 being virginal 
does not seem to be a requirement for a 3291- 


AX scenario to occur. It's possible that 
SCP-3291-3's purpose is to test if SCP-3291-2 
is a virgin, though records indicate that all 
3291-AX scenarios end in the same fashion, 
regardless of the virginal state of SCP-3291-2. 
Attempts to capture or neutralize SCP-3291-3 
have all failed. It appears to be impervious to 
damage indicated by reports of MTF teams 
firing on it with various forms of weaponry to 
no effect. A memetic field appears to be 
generated during a 3291-AX scenario, 
centered on SCP-3291-2, which compels all 
sapient creatures within its range of influence 
to participate in the scenario, regardless of 
relation to SCP-3291-2. Termination of 
SCP-3291-2 appears to end this effect except 
during 3291-AX Phase 6. Thermal image 
recording of a 3291-AX scenario by recon 
teams indicates that the temperature of the 
area surrounding SCP-3291-3 gradually 
increases, becoming lethal in a matter of 
minutes. SCP-3291-2 seems to be immune to 
this rise in temperature, the reasons for which 
are still unknown.$ This prevents engagement 
of SCP-3291-3 directly, making capture and 
containment incredibly difficult, if not 
impossible. 

Whether SCP-3244-3 is destroyed when a 
3291-AX event concludes is currently 
unknown. More research into the motives and 
nature of SCP-3291-3 is recommended. 


Note: The termination of SCP-3291-2 during 3291-AX 
Phase 6 does not prevent SCP-3291-3 from 
manifesting, nor does it appear to prevent SCP-3291-3 
from performing sexual acts on the corpse of 
SCP-3291-2. As such, we have advised teams to avoid 
termination of SCP-3291-2 after 3291-AX Phase 6 has 
begun. 


Addendum 3291-02: 


Experiment Log 3291-12 


Experiment #: 3291-12 
Researcher: Dr. Leonard Duvant 
Subjects: D-8649, 


Description: , a 24-year-old woman 
(Hereby referred to as subject) under the 
effects of SCP-3291-1 was located in the city 
of , Brazil. D-8649 was sent undercover 
as a potential spouse for the subject. D-8649 
was injected with a pathogen that would shut 
down all bodily functions if not treated once 
every 48 hours, to ensure cooperation with the 
project. D-8649 was instructed to court, and 
then agree to marry, the subject. Subject 
insisted on the use of flowers from SCP-3291, 
but was denied the request by D-8649. 
Despite complaints by the subject, a wedding 
event was scheduled and carried out. 

No 3291-AX scenario occurred, and subject 
lost interest in SCP-3291 almost immediately 
following the ceremony. Interestingly, the 
subject lost all interest in D-8649 as well 
shortly after, requesting a divorce 3 days after 
the wedding. The marriage was annulled, and 
class C amnestics were administered to the 
subject. D-8649 was recalled to the 
Foundation and underwent treatment to 
remove the administered pathogen and was 
reassigned to another project. 


Conclusion: The effects of SCP-3291-1 seem 
to expire if a wedding event occurs that does 
not involve a flower from SCP-3291. Subjects 
exposed to SCP-3291-1 that participate in a 
wedding ceremony that does not trigger a 
3291-AX scenario are to be considered 
neutralized and no longer require the attention 
of the Foundation. 


It should also be noted that any area 
experiencing unusually high divorce and 
marriage rates may indicate SCP-3291 
activity.

SCP-3292: The Land Before Time, For All of Time 


Aerial photograph of Forest. 


Item #: SCP-3292 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The area surrounding 
SCP-3292 is to be fronted as a privately owned nature reservation 
under the ownership of senior researcher Chelsea Grant, and 
funded by Halcyon Industries. Trespassers are to be taken to 
Site-990 for questioning, administered Class-B amnestics, and 
released. Air traffic over SCP-3292 is to be rerouted. 


Two level-2 guards are to be stationed outside of the entrance to 
SCP-3292, outfitted in uniforms appropriate to private rangers 
employed by Halcyon Industries. Instances of SCP-3292-3 
attempting to enter SCP-3292 through its primary entrance are to be 
detained by Foundation agents and brought to Site-990 for testing. 


On site task force Psi-31 "Animal Lovers" are to regularly monitor 
the WWF's endangered species list for fluctuations in numbers. 


Description: SCP-3292 is an extradimensional location accessible 
through the — Forest in , Scotland. Despite the area 
surrounding SCP-3292 being a coniferous forest, SCP-3292 is a 
complex system of caves, grottos, and groves all leading to a central 
hub area that resembles an oakwood forest. SCP-3292 is ina 
perpetual state of the spring season. 


Day and night cycles have been observed coinciding with baseline 
reality in SCP-3292, though the effects of the passage of time do not 
seem to affect anything within SCP-3292. Entities and objects within 
the forest will not display negative effects of aging, regardless of 
how much time is spent within SCP-3292. 


Exploration of SCP-3292 has proven to be exceptionally difficult due
