SCP-2159 has a consistent mass and volume of approximately 
800.3 g and 228.0 cm3 respectively, and its density is determined to 
be 3.51 g/cm (2 d.p.). Material composition of SCP-2159 is 
unknown; attempts to extract samples of SCP-2159 for analysis 
have failed to date. In addition, a buildup of positive electrical 
charges is detected on the surface of SCP-2159. 


SCP-2159 was recovered from the Yoyogi Park in Shibuya, Tokyo, 
Japan on 03/06/2004. Urban legends regarding a "shape-shifting 
object" in Yoyogi Park brought SCP-2159 to the Foundation's 
attention. Agents were subsequently dispatched and claimed 
SCP-2159 on suspicions of it being a chemical weapon. Passers-by 
present were also brought in for questioning, followed by amnestic 
treatment. Subsequently, rumours referring to SCP-2159 were 
debunked via a cover story of hallucinogens found in the area. 


Addendum 2159-1: The following are additional details regarding 
the recovery of SCP-2159, collated by Agents Shirokawa and 
Oiratya. 


¢ Grass surrounding SCP-2159 was charred. 

¢ When SCP-2159 was removed from original position, a 
rectangular indentation 10 cm deep was noted. 

¢ Soil sample from SCP-2159's original position indicates traces 
of fulgurite.” 


Addendum 2159-2: Since 21/07/2004, personnel have noted that a 
number of SCP-2159's iterations allude to its SCP designation. 
Below are 2 examples of such iterations. 


Subject Description 
Researcher Shiki Ichinose A framed photograph of actress 
Mimi Kung Chi Yan in her role as 
Guan Yin from the Hong Kong TV 
series Journey to the West (1996 
version). Autograph is replaced 


by “2759”. 

Dr. Carlos Fujimori A photo album titled "2159 
Pictures of 2159". Album consists 
of the number "2159" rendered in 
various fonts and numeral 
systems. The number "2159" and 
its variants appear 2159 times in 
the album. 


Regarding the phenomenon, Dr. Fujimori has offered the following 
statement. 


Please consider the following analogy. 


Before we had contained SCP-2159, multiple individuals 
— let's call them Agents A and B — would view it as 
Iterations A’ and B’ respectively. To the two agents, 
respective iterations were mutually exclusive. Each 
Iteration was connected to SCP-2159 individually, but 
not to each other. 


Post-containment, we have given SCP-2159 its 
designation. The same Agents A and B will still view 
SCP-2159 as Iterations A’ and B’ respectively. However, 
both Agents A and B now recognise that their respective 
Iterations (A’ and B’) are but subsets of SCP-2159. A 
state of interconnectedness now exists and the 
designation of SCP-2159 is at the centre of it. 


In our quest to discern SCP-2159, our standard practice 
to designate it has become an obstacle in itself. As such, 
| believe that we may need a slight alteration to our 
operations. 


Following Dr. Fujimori's statement, personnel studying on SCP-2159 
were reassigned, except for Dr. Fujimori. SCP-2159's Special 
Containment Procedures have been updated accordingly; see 
Update (28/07/2004). 


Addendum 2159-3: Below is an excerpt from Dr. Fujimori's 
research notes regarding SCP-2159. 


24/09/2004 — Self references on SCP-2159 were noted 
by both Alpha and Bravo. However, whereas Alpha 
report instances of the word "item", Bravo report 
instances of the word "object". SCP-2159's self- 
references appear to be inevitable. However, our current 
methodology did stall the process. 


Have individual persons to report findings separately? 


Addendum 2159-4: On 17/10/2004, both reports from Team Alpha 
and Team Bravo indicate that SCP-2159 has taken on a common 
appearance. It is believed to be SCP-2159's default form, dubbed 
Iteration 0. This is later verified independently by Dr. Fujimori and 
two D-class personnel, with the three said personnel claiming to 
perceive SCP-2159 as Iteration 0. 


This effect extends to photographs and video footage of SCP-2159. 
However, the buildup of positive electrical charges on SCP-2159 is 
still present. 


Below is a description of Iteration 0. 


Iteration: 0

carved onto it:

SCP-2160: The Happy Place 


Item #: SCP-2160 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Mu-4 
("Debuggers") is currently assigned to track and investigate potential 
internet sites that may be involved in the broadcast of SCP-2160. In 
addition, Mobile Task Force Mu-4 is authorized to shut down said 
sites in the event a transmission occurs. 


Description: SCP-2160 is a webcast entitled "The Happy Place", 
currently produced from an unknown location. The source of the 
broadcast varies with each instance of SCP-2160, and all attempts 
to locate a specific point of origin have failed. Forty-eight hours 
before broadcast, a countdown timer appears on the website chosen 
to host the webcast, and once it reaches zero the page 
automatically refreshes itself; in its place is a built-in video player. 
The pattern for choosing the website used, if any, is not currently 
known. Due to the coding on the website itself (it is unknown 
whether or not this was intentionally done by the creators of 
SCP-2160) the video portion of the webcast does not play, only the 
audio portion. 


The broadcast portion of SCP-2160 begins with an opening jingle, 
and is introduced as "The Happy Place". The webcast is narrated by 
"Sheriff Buddy", who introduces himself. The webcast then 
continues, with the audio similar to other educational children's 
television shows. 


No evidence exists that such a show was ever broadcast prior to the 
first known instance of SCP-2160. Research has indicated that 
interest in the webcast has increased since the initial broadcast, and 
any fan sites and discussion boards pertaining to SCP-2160 are to 
be monitored. 


[LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED TO PROCEED] 


On 04/16/12 after the first known broadcast, the 
anomalous nature of SCP-2160 became apparent when 
multiple Sites began receiving visits from people claiming 
to be "fans" of SCP-2160. Further questioning revealed 
that the affected individuals had downloaded the 
webcast and watched it outside of its native source. 


It was this action that brought SCP-2160 to the 
Foundation's attention, and research began on the 
matter. It was discovered that if an instance of SCP-2160 
is downloaded or recorded from the broadcast site and 
then is played within a different program the visual 
portion of the instance functions as normal, revealing 
Sheriff Buddy to be a marionette dressed in a cowboy 
suit that resembles O5-6, and other puppets that re- 
enact events that do not coincide with the audio of the 
broadcast. 


Due to the sensitive nature of the events being re- 
enacted, transcripts and other data in relation to 
SCP-2160 has been limited to those with Level 4 
clearance or higher. 


Excerpt from transcript of Webcast made 
on 6/27/12 


00:04:29 - [Sheriff Buddy is standing over a 
rag doll strapped to a bed. The room itself is a 
sterile white, and there are IV stands next to 
the rag doll's bed.] 


00:04:31 - Sheriff Buddy: Now then kids, what 
do we do when someone is hurt? 


00:04:33 - [A chorus of children can be heard 
yelling out "call an adult" as six separate doors 
slide open, and six other puppets enter. These 
puppets are dressed in orange prison garb. 
The rag doll lifts her head, making a horrified 


expression.] 


00:04:50 - Sheriff Buddy: That's right kids! 
Always tell an adult if your friend is hurt so 
they can get help! 


00:05:10 - [The six new puppets continue to 
approach the bed, with the rag doll thrashing in 
place. At this point, Mobile Task Force Mu-4 
managed to force an interruption of the feed, 
and no further part of this instance was seen.] 


END TRANSCRIPT 


This particular instance of SCP-2160 led to the re- 
assignment of Mobile Task Force Mu-4 from all non-vital 
assignments to focus on the issue. Analysis of the 
broadcast as suggests that the creators had inside 
knowledge of Foundation activity. That, coupled with the 
memetic effect the footage has had on some, suggests 
the possibility that a currently contained SCP may be 
causing these broadcasts to occur. Further research is 
Ongoing. 


Excerpt from transcript of Webcast made 
on 02/10/13 


00:00:05.9 - [Sheriff Buddy is positioned on a 
catwalk over a large, sterile looking white 
room. Below him is a large mechanical device, 
and there are five other puppets surrounding it, 
each dressed in a clean white suit. Four other 
puppets burst in through a door, dressed in all 
black tactical armor and carrying assault rifles. 
They then open fire.] 


00:00:06.3 - Sheriff Buddy: Today kids, we are 
going to talk about Chinese New Year's! 


00:00:07.2 - [The sound of firecrackers going 
off can be heard as the gunfire goes off. One 


of the five puppets, a female with brown hair, 
dives underneath a table while a male puppet 
with brown hair is struck twice in the head.] 


00:00:07.8 - [Another male puppet drops out of 
sight, presumably hit, but the angle makes it 
impossible to tell.] 


00:00:08.0 - [A third male puppet is shot in the 
shoulder, falling to the floor and rolling behind 
the device.] 


00:00:08.1 - [The last of the original five 
puppets is hit three times in the chest and 
falls.] 


00:00:08.2 - Sheriff Buddy: Happy new year 
from the fine folks of China! 


00:00:11.3 - [The device in the center emits a 
bright light, and the show starts over. This loop 
continues until the webcast is interrupted at 
the 00:04:07 mark.] 


END TRANSCRIPT 


Shortly after this transmission airs, the monitoring data of 
SCP-176 was reviewed, but no signs of any 
unauthorized access were detected.

00:01:03 - [Sheriff Buddy is in the foreground, 
with a puppet made to look like a young 
woman of Asian descent behind him, as well 
as a taller puppet of a balding man in a lab 
coat.] 


00:01:06 - Sheriff Buddy: Today kids, we are 
going to talk about the importance of obeying 
all the rules. 


SCP-244: Ice Fog Jar 


Item #: SCP-244 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: When not in testing, SCP-244-1 
is to be placed in a room with its own thermostat, kept at a 
temperature of no less than 38°C. This room must also have its own 
ventilation system to provide constant air circulation. SCP-244-1 will 
rest on top of a scale attached to an alarm, so that any abrupt 
changes in weight from SCP-244-1's cap's sudden removal or from 
SCP-244-1's displacement may be immediately detected. If the 
alarm goes off, SCP-244-1 is to be immediately retrieved, capped, 
and placed back on the scale. In the event that SCP-244-1 spends 
longer than four (4) hours uncapped and active before retrieval is 
possible, initiate Procedure 244-21 23-B. 


Description: SCP-244-1 is a Tunisian-style earthenware jar, made 
of common ceramics mixed with traces of [DATA EXPUNGED] and 
decorated with silver filigree. The inside of SCP-244-1 always has 
an internal temperature of -37°C and a 125% humidity, regardless of 
external conditions; persons handling SCP-244-1 invariably describe 
it as cold to the touch. SCP-244-1 includes a cap of identical make 
and style to the jar itself. 


When SCP-244-1 is uncapped, condensed water vapor will flow 
from its mouth. The rate at which the vapor emanates increases if 
SCP-244-1 is left lying on its side or suspended upside-down. This 
vapor is identical in composition to ice fog, with a temperature of 
-37°C and 125% humidity as it exits SCP-244-1. Over time, this fog 
will disperse through whatever area SCP-244-1 is in, lowering 
ambient temperatures and raising humidity levels proportionally. The 
amount of time it takes for SCP-244-1 to fill an area with fog varies 
depending on the size of the space, the amount of moisture already 
in the air, and the temperature at the time SCP-244-1 is opened. If 
SCP-244-1 is left uncapped outside of any structure, it will still 


00:01:38 - [The male puppet in the labcoat 
holds out a white sheet of paper, and the 
female puppet touches it, causing the paper to 
turn purple.] 


00:02:10 - Sheriff Buddy: Adults make the 
rules to make sure you stay safe. You want to 
stay safe, right kids? 


00:03:00 - [A chorus of children can be heard 
yelling out "Yes Sheriff Buddy" as the girl 
puppet starts to jump into the air.] 


00:03:10 - Sheriff Buddy: Remember kids, 
always listen to the adult in charge. It's for your 
own good! 


00:03:33 - [The female puppet reaches an 
equivalent scale height of 5 meters with its 
jump before falling back to the floor. Upon 
impact, both of the puppet's legs break.] 


END TRANSCRIPT 


Due to the particular incident referenced, testing was 
done to see if SCP-2599 was a viable suspect. A 
posthypnotic suggestion is placed into the mind of 
SCP-2599 to attempt to recreate the events of the 
broadcast, to see if her subconscious mind was capable 
of acting in a manner that her conscious mind could not. 
She recreated the broadcast, except instead of Sheriff 
Buddy resembling O5-6, it now resembled O5-8. As a 
result, a new round of tests were created to try to identify 
why the subject was able to recreate the likeness of an 
individual they had never met before. 


The numbers of civilian visitors arriving at Sites due to 
the broadcasts had reached a point where drastic 
measures were deemed necessary. Mobile Task Force 
Mu-4 was ordered to seize control of the broadcasting 
website the moment a transmission of SCP-2160 ended 


and broadcast a posthypnotic suggestion to make the 
viewers forget they had just watched SCP-2160. Number 
of civilian sightings at Foundation Sites dropped 
significantly for subsequent broadcasts.
