Dr. Sanford: You fell up into a pool of water? 
D-2468-6: It's- it wasn't water. It didn't FEEL 
like water. Something about it just was plain 
wrong. That's when I notice the fishing hook 
between my teeth. 


Dr. Sanford: ... A fishing hook? 

D-2468-6: Yeah. Those crooked metal things 
you put on your fishing rod. Only a hell lot 
bigger and lodged in my cheek. 

Dr. Sanford: We didn't find any wounds on 
your person. 


D-3468-6: I-| know, but it was there, Lord 
knows it was. 


Dr. Sanford: | believe you. Continue. What 
happened when you fell into the water? 


D-2468-6: It was... | couldn't breathe. When | 
first tried to, | inhaled some of the water. 
Sweet lord did it burn on the way in. It was 
sorta like saltwater, too. It was hot and 


overwhelming and it felt like | was invaded by 
fucking salt- | could taste it in my mouth and it 
was up my nose and down my chest and- 
[Subject becomes very agitated. Interview 
postponed. Resumed at a later date.] 


D-2468-6: Sorry about that, Doc. 


Dr. Sanford: It's alright. Continue. What 
happened next? 


D-2468-6: Alright. |... Well, | started struggling 
with my breath, before seeing them. 


Dr. Sanford: Who's them? 


D-2468-6: The fuckers who held the rods. 
They were... There were three of them, and 
one was a lot bigger than the other two. They 
were like massive fish, with legs and hands. 
They had orange scales all over their body, 
except for their legs, those were green. They... 
One of them- One of the small ones- It held 
me closer to its face. | could see his head and 
face- [Subjects takes a deep breath.] -And 
Lord, what an ugly face it had. 


Dr. Sanford: ...Noted. What happened then? 


D-2468-6: That... thing started shaking me 
around, making the most horrible noise, and 
showing me to the big one. He... He just 
looked at me for a second, and then he- And 
then he threw me back to the water- or air, or 
whatever. 


Dr. Sanford: And that's where we found you? 


D-2468-6: Yeah. Next thing | know, I'm 
coughing my lungs out and one of you guys 
rushes to my aid. 


Dr. Sanford: Understood. Will that be all? 


D-2468-6: |- Y-No. He- The big one. H-it said 
something before it threw me back. 


Dr. Sanford: What'd he say? 


D-2468-6: "It ain't got no meat on it." 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: D-2468-6 was retained 
for further questioning. 

Very, very interesting. | will attempt to make 
contact with these entities. -Dr. Nguyen 


Addendum-2468-2: Following the interview with D-2468-6, After 
gaining approval from Security Chief H —_, Dr. Nguyen began 
attaching stainless steel plates with messages expressing 
benevolence and an interest in communication engraved on them to 
the meat supplied to SCP-2468. All messages were rejected by 
SCP-2468. After three rejected messages, the entity relocated to its 
current position. Dr. Nguyen was forbidden from sending more 
messages this way.

SCP-2469: Sunny Valley 


Item #: SCP-2469 
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the remote location of 
SCP-2469-1, minimal containment procedures are necessary. An 
observation tower disguised as a ranger station has been built along 
the southern ridge overlooking SCP-2469, and Foundation 
personnel disguised as park rangers are to deter civilians from 
entering SCP-2469-1 under pretense of hostile wildlife activity. 


Samples and materials removed from SCP-2469 are stored at 
Site-42 for further analysis and research. Any deviations in the cycle 
of activity within SCP-2469-1 are to be reported immediately. 


As of 2010-05-10, SCP-2469 has been reclassified Neutralized due 
to a complete cessation of anomalous activity. See Addendum 
2469-2 for additional information. 


Description: SCP-2469-1 is a remote valley exhibiting multiple 
anomalous properties, located near the deep north edge of 
[REDACTED] National Forest near [REDACTED] — an area that is 
not accessible by ground vehicles. The center of SCP-2469-1 is an 
approximately 80-m-radius clearing populated with flora inconsistent 
with the region, most notably a series of 13 fruit-bearing trees 
arranged into a sundial, and various fruit-bearing or otherwise edible 
bushes and other plants arranged into various geometric and fractal 
patterns radiating outwards from the center of the clearing. 


SCP-2469-2 is a small, apparently hand-constructed cottage built 
using only natural materials and located at the center of 
SCP-2469-1. Investigation of SCP-2469-2 discovered a single set of 
human remains (SCP-2469-3), determined to be those of an 
unidentified female approximately eighty years of age at time of 
death from old age. Evidence gathered from SCP-2469-2 seem to 


indicate that SCP-2469-3 had lived there alone; however, evidence 
was found that indicated SCP-2469-3 either received, or expected to 
receive, a single visitor on a regular basis. 


SCP-2469-1 does not seem to be affected by changes in seasons, 
with all flowering plants within the area constantly in a state of full 
bloom and all fruit-bearing or edible plants in a constant state of 
being ready to harvest. Observation of the area has also shown that 
SCP-2469-1 is constantly exposed to the sun during daylight hours, 
with cloud cover inexplicably breaking over the area even during 
overcast and stormy weather. Additionally, on the first day of every 
calendar month, an anomalous event occurs in which multicolored 
fire self-ignites in a ring surrounding SCP-2469-2, and then ripples 
outwards until it reaches the edge of SCP-2469-1, rapidly 
incinerating all material in its way. Flora and fauna native to 
SCP-2469-1 will then rapidly regrow or regenerate into its "pristine" 
condition, while all introduced materials (including observation and 
recording devices) are completely destroyed. Materials such as fruit 
or other plant samples removed from SCP-2469-1 prior to an event 
are unaffected, and thus far have not shown any anomalous 
properties. 


SCP-2469 was discovered on 2009-08-12, following unusual reports 
of a "surreal, paradise-like valley" discovered by a pair of back- 
country hikers. A Foundation search team was dispatched to the 
area indicated by the report and, upon confirming the report, Class B 
amnestics were administered to all witnesses. 


Addendum 2469-1: Incident 2469-1 


During initial containment, an attempt was made to remove 
SCP-2469-3 from SCP-2469-2. When Foundation containment 
personnel attempted to remove the remains from the area, the area 
around SCP-2469-3 spontaneously ignited with the same fire 
typically observed during a regeneration event, resulting in severe 
burns to several containment team personnel. Additionally, large 
wildlife native to the area became highly agitated and aggressive 
until the remains were returned to SCP-2469-2. 


Addendum 2469-2: Incident 2469-9 


On 2010-02-14, personnel stationed at the observation tower 
overlooking SCP-2469-1 reported the presence of an unidentified 
anomalous individual near SCP-2469-2. From surveillance footage 
taken during the incident, this individual appeared to have been a 
male person of indeterminate age with vaguely luminous skin, who 
approached and entered SCP-2469-2 for several minutes before 
exiting in a distraught state and then disappearing in a flash of light. 


A response team was dispatched from Site-42 by helicopter to 
perform an investigation of the area. A search of SCP-2469-2 turned 
up a wrapped bouquet of one dozen red-and-yellow flame-patterned 
roses along with a plain greeting card with the hand-written words, 
"For my One and Only". Neither of these items exhibited any 
anomalous properties, and upon further investigation, the remains of 
SCP-2469-3 were determined to be missing. 


As of this incident, SCP-2469 has completely ceased anomalous 
activity.

SCP-2470: The Void Singularity 


Item #: SCP-2470 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: To facilitate containment, 
Area-141 has been established at the site of discovery. Due to the 
extremely hazardous nature of SCP-2470, as well as the potential 
threat from pro-apocalyptic religious-mystical movements and sects, 
on-site personnel are responsible for both containing the object, and 
protecting Area-141 from any and all outside threats. 


Containment Zone structure 


The central containment volume of Area-141 
headquarters is a hyperboloid-shaped room with a lower 
base diameter of 55 meters, upper base diameter of 42 
meters, and 36 meters in height. Walls and floor 
structures are doubled: the outer walls, no less than 4.5 
meters thick, are made of high-density pre-stressed 
concrete; the inner ones, 1.5 meters thick, are made of 
special "adamant" brand high-alloy steel (produced by 
Plant-45). The containment volume is fitted with two (2) 
sets of service entrance airlocks with class VI explosion 
resistance blast doors and an additional emergency 
quick-hardening compound sealing system. 


In the center of the containment volume there are two 
concentric icosahedron-shaped shells! installed, the 
diameters of their circumspheres being 8 and 12 meters 
respectively. The shells are supported by a two-spool 
suspension system and are additionally surrounded by a 
Faraday cage made of superconducting cable with cells 
no larger than 5 cm across. 


High vacuum inside the shells and the containment 


volume is maintained by two (2) main and six (6) backup 
heavy-duty turbomolecular pumps. The space between 
the inner and outer walls of the containment volume acts 
as forevacuum space and is pumped by four (4) main 
and four (4) reserve rotary vane pumps, which are 
capable of operating in an accelerated mode for no less 
than one (1) hour. Pumps are to be checked for 
serviceability on a weekly basis; preventive 
replacements and scheduled maintenance is to be 
conducted every two (2) months. 


Area-141's electric power supply consists of no less than 
two (2) independent external sources and two (main and 
reserve) stand-alone power systems with at least a 
100% margin of capacity each. 


The central shells are identical in structure (except for 
respective dimensions) and both are constructed of 20 
triangular titanium plates 1.5 cm thick, mounted on a 
steel skeleton and adjusted to minimize gap size along 
matching edges. One of the plates of each shell is to be 
mounted on a guide rail serving as an access port, which 
can only be opened from the outside. The frames in 
question are to be connected to a stabilized voltage 
supply, maintaining a potential difference of 120V across 
the structure. 


The inner surfaces of the shells are covered with 
luminophore compounds that radiate when conducting 
electricity and produce afterglow for 20 min in case of 
power failure. Luminophores of different colors make up 
an image — a memetically active visual representation of 
a so-called "WeiBschatten's imperceivable 
extradimensional paradox" that irreversibly destroys 
general perception processes upon being perceived. 
Another board with the same image is located behind the 
outer shell access hatch, placed in such a way so as to 
obstruct the view of the region within three (3) metres of 
the shell's geometric center, should the outer shell 
access hatch be opened while the inner shell is 


compromised. Shell integrity checkup is to be conducted 
at least once every two weeks. 


Inside the containment volume the following objects are 
also situated: 


* 2 spontaneous decoherence generators? (spec. 
product 2470-a) 

* 3 zero-veil generators (spec. product 2470-b) 

« a telepathy suppression device, created using 
SCP- (spec. product 2470-c) 


It is essential to maintain a full stock of the 
aforementioned devices. In case stock supplies diminish, 
replacement devices are to be manufactured by the 
Foundation's corresponding facilities upon first request, 
as soon as possible, and with the highest priority. The 
operation procedures are explained in the corresponding 
manuals attached therein. 


Work regulations in the containment area 


All works inside the containment volume are carried out 
by groups of no fewer than three (3) grade IV engineers, 
who received appropriate training and passed qualifying 
examination. 


Any works that have to be performed outside the central 
shells are to be conducted preferably using robots 
controlled remotely via a fiber-optic cable; in case human 
intervention is necessary, personnel must operate 
wearing full-body suits with fiber-optic communication. All 
types of wireless devices are forbidden to be handled 
and/or used inside the containment volume. 


Internal examination of the central shells is conducted 
only by people wearing special “Dissonance” full-body 
suits (spec. product 2470-d). The suit includes: 


* a “WeiBschatten’s paradox” memetic agent 
displaying system with 100% external area 


SCP-273: Human Phoenix 


Item #: SCP-273 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-273 is held in an 
enclosure 5 m x 10 m in size, half of which is closed off for the 
subject's privacy. All major structural and facing materials of the cell 
are of fireproof and non-thermally-conductive materials. A bedroll 
and other modest furnishings are allowed, provided they remain in 
the private section, and that all consumption of food be performed in 
the adjacent area. 


All windows from the observation room into the enclosure are 
composed of heat-treated glass of at least 1 cm total thickness, with 
an insulated gap in between. Heat and infrared sensors in both 
enclosure and observation are set to produce an alarm if any 
temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius. Observing staff are 
required to evacuate the room in such an event. 


Food in the form of raw meat must be provided every 12 hours for 
consumption, at least 2.5 kg per feeding. Other foods may be 
provided at SCP-273's request, provided good behavior continues. 
All clothing provided to SCP-273 must be either flame-resistant in 
nature, or be of inexpensive make and fabrics. 


SCP-273 is not to be interacted with in person if it has not consumed 
a meal of raw meat of at least 2.5 kg mass within the last 12 hours. 


In light of Incident 273-02, alcoholic beverages in excess of 50% 
alcohol by volume must not be provided to SCP-273, nor should any 
other flame accelerants be provided. All staff interacting with 
SCP-273 must be armed with non-lethal defense measures. Lethal 
force should not be used. 


Description: SCP-273 resembles a middle-aged woman of Indian 


coverage; 

* a spectrum-correcting system built into the HUD; 
said system is attuned to the wavelengths the 
luminophore compound cells radiate in and makes 
the memetic agent safe for perception by 
suppressing specific colors; 

* a Spatial image filtration system with high precision 
inertial control, that blocks the view of the area 
within 3 meters of the shell's geometrical center; 

* a chronometer with voice countdown for preset 
periods. 


Any forms of interaction between the personnel inside 
and outside the shells are forbidden. Staff members 
inside the shells communicate between each other using 
a set of hand signals. 


The procedure of planned internal examination of the 
shells is performed along the following steps: 

1. Synchronizing chronometers (may be done 
immediately before entering the containment volume). 

2. Inertial control system calibration. It is to be done right 
in front of the external shell’s hatch to avoid error 
accumulation. 

3. Activating the image filtration system, switching on the 
memetic agent display.
