3. D-3858 was selected due to the low population of his birthplace 
( Village, Hunan Province, China) and his contraction of a 
terminal illness. He was informed that the Foundation will be 
conducting euthanasia on him, and he agreed to it under the 
condition that his corpse be cremated.

significant damage to SCP-318. Tests using this level of force are 
currently awaiting approval. 


SCP-318 remains active for approximately five (5) minutes per use, 
with exact time seemingly dependent upon the body mass and 
physical condition of the subject. After SCP-318 ceases activity, all 
covers unlock, the test subject is no longer present in the input box, 
and a "scroll" (designated SCP-318-1) is present in the output box. 
SCP-318-1 takes the form of a strip of paper seven inches (17.8 cm) 
wide and two feet (60.1 cm) long, wrapped around a black- 
enameled wooden dowel one inch (2.5 cm) in diameter and eight 
inches (20.3 cm) long. The dowel and paper appear entirely normal, 
though testing reveals the presence of human DNA (matching that 
of converted subject) present in the paper. 


This scroll contains the memories and consciousness of the test 
subject, who is able to communicate when SCP-318-1 is at least 
partially unrolled by causing drawings and/or writing to appear on 
the paper. These marks only appear on the side of the paper that 
faces inward when rolled up, and are generally consistent with the 
penmanship and artistic ability of the subject, though the quality of 
drawings improves markedly when SCP-318-1 can "see" what it is 
depicting. Subjects stored on instances of SCP-318-1 report the 
ability to feel the scroll as if it were their body, expressing a 
corresponding form of pain when the paper is cut, torn, burned, 
[DATA EXPUNGED], or otherwise distressed. Significant damage 
appears to render SCP-318-1 inoperative in some way, as once the 
scroll is damaged beyond a certain extent (generally the 
compromise of at least % of the paper's surface), subjects are 
unresponsive and display no further activity. It is currently unknown 
whether this is because the copy of the subject has been destroyed, 
or because their mode of communication has been cut off. 


In addition, so long as SCP-318-1 is at least partially unrolled, 
subjects are apparently able to perceive their environment visually 
and aurally, with an acuity consistent with an average human adult. 
Requests for testing on blind and/or deaf subjects are currently 
pending approval. 


Personas stored on instances of SCP-318-1 respond as would be 
expected from the original subject, and have full access to the 


SCP-2749: It's Just Business 


Item #: SCP-2749 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2749 and SCP-2749-A 
instances are to be kept in separate containment lockers in Site-73 
at all times. Interaction with SCP-2749 must only be done through 
the use of remote control, as this method has proved acceptable to 
circumvent the items' anomalous effects. No further containment 
procedures are necessary at this time. 


Description: SCP-2749 is a 120cm long black and red cotton tie. If 
SCP-2749 comes into physical contact with any inanimate object 
with a mass less than 10kg, a tie identical to SCP-2749 will appear 
wrapped around that object. Removal of this secondary tie will result 
in a negation of SCP-2749's effects. Objects affected by SCP-2749 
are designated SCP-2749-A.1 


Once affected, SCP-2749-A will display sapience with high levels of 
intelligence. 

SCP-2749-A instances react to visual and auditory stimuli through 
unknown means. Additionally, instances are capable of independent 
locomotion. 


The way SCP-2749-A instances communicate is dependant on the 
object affected. English is the primary language used by SCP-2749- 
A instances. Topics of conversation appear to be limited to an 
unknown organisation identified as 'Business Incorporated.’ 


+ Experiment-2749-A (2016/06/02) 


During experiment-2749-A (2016/06/02), all instances of 
SCP-2749-A were placed in a single testing chamber. 
Instances included: 


* 1 pencil (affected) 

¢ 4 chairs (affected) 

* 2 small tables (affected) 

¢ 20 disposable plastic cups (affected) 
¢ 1 stapler (affected) 

¢ 1 children's bicycle (affected) 

¢ 1 laptop (affected) 

¢ 1 printer (affected) 

¢ 50 A4 sheets of paper (unaffected) 
¢ 2 large tables (unaffected) 

¢ 5 ink cartridges (unaffected) 

* 2 2x5m plywood walls (unaffected) 
¢ 1 coffee machine (unaffected) 

¢ 3 Al sheets of paper (unaffected) 


SCP-2749-A instances immediately constructed a crude 
conference room using the materials provided. This 
included a logo displaying: 


WELCOME TO THE BUSINESS INC. METAL 
BOX BRANCH! 

It's everyone's business! 

If you have any requests to make, please go to 
the reception area! 


The following was recorded via CCTV. 
9:00am 2016/06/04 


(Several instances of SCP-2749-A are seen 
gathered on the large table communicating 
with a series of taps which were translated 
from Morse code.) 


SCP-2749-A1 (pencil): Hello everyone, it's 
nice to see you all at today's business 
meeting. Today I'd like everyone to express 
their thoughts on Mr. Tables's new business 
plan! 


SCP-2749-A5 (table 1): Thank you, pencil. 


Before we start, would anyone like 
refreshments? 


(7 instances of SCP-2749-A9 (plastic cups) 
use the coffee machine to fill themselves with 
coffee. They then approach several different 
instances of SCP-2749-A, which quickly move 
into them, spilling the coffee.) 


SCP-2749-A3 (laptop): Mmm... That was 
refreshing. 


SCP-2749-A8 (printer): Table was thinking 
about our success rate, and made this graph 
to show you all how it's at a steady decline. 


(SCP-2749-A8 prints a line graph displaying 
the "business ratio" from 2000-2016.) 


SCP-2749-A2 (chair 1): Unbelievable! | 
thought it was rising at this juncture! 


SCP-2749-A1: If that acluistic boomerang 
hadn't changed the structure we wouldn't be in 
this mess! He should have known this was 
risky business. 


SCP-2749-A4 (stapler): Honest to God, this 
should have been our highpoint, not our 
downfall! 


SCP-2749-A5: And that is why I'm here. You 
see our bike friend over there? He's in contact 
with a business management team that claim 
they can deliver business stocks twice as 
quick and twice as cheap! | think we can call it: 
"Business Inc.'s Fast Business" I'm aiming for 
efficiency improvements across the piece. 


SCP-2749-A6 (bike): All he has said is true. 
Have a look at this! 


(SCP-2749-A6 moves across the room utilising 
its wheels.) 


SCP-2749-A3: Now that's in the black. 


SCP-2749-A8: As you probably know, this is 
Business Inc.'s 150th anniversary. Here, | 
thought | might piggyback on table's idea... 


(SCP-2749-A8 prints a sign reading:) 


BUSINESS INC. 

Everyone's business for over 150 
years. 

To celebrate Business Inc.'s 150th 
anniversary, we'd like to introduce 
FAST BUSINESS, the revolutionary 
way for you to get in touch with some 
business 2x as fast as before! 
Because of this, we've decided to 
give our customers a free 1 month

From the one and only: MR. 
BUSINESS 


SCP-2749-A1: Very well done printer! 


SCP-2749-A3: Good show! That, people, is an 
advertisement that means business. I'll ping 
Mr. Business so we can peanut butter out the 
tasks. 


(All instances of SCP-2749-A leave the room 
and resume their ordinary behaviour.)

<Begin Log> 
Dr. : Good morning, SCP-2749-A3. 


(SCP-2749-A3's monitor activates, displaying 
the following text) 


SCP-2749-A3: And good morning to you too, 
doctor! Not that'd I'd be able to tell if it were 
morning here, | mean, the sky here doesn't 
change much (not at all from what I've seen). 
I'm not able to tell the state of day by tasting 
the air or whatever like you natives can. 


Dr. : Natives of where? 


SCP-2749-A3: Why, the metal box of course! 
Also, may | say that you should really check 
out the all new BUSINESS INC. METAL BOX 
BRANCH, which we've brought to the village 
of chamber T-2749! 


Dr. : Right. So, you say that this is one of 
your branches, could you tell me where else 
you may have established your enterprise? 


SCP-2749-A3: Of course! Now, you may find 
that most of these areas are fairly distant from 
your land, but if you're on the go or whatnot 
you might want to have look! | mean, it's good 
business! We have locations in: 

Xetoui (Who can forget?!) 

Sqpp (The foodie's choice) 

921003 (Cool, in more ways than one!) 

_-_| (Nice n' classy) 

DJEY (GREAT WEATHER THERE!) 


0.0.0 (The city of love!) 
And who can forget our capital, Business! 


Dr. : Ok, so, who is your boss? 


SCP-2749-A3: The one and only! MR. 
BUSINESS! 


Dr. : Could you tell me who this Mr. 
Business is? 


SCP-2749-A3: | can do better than "tell you", | 
CAN SHOW YOU! 


(SCP-2749-A3 proceeds to print an image 
depicting a yellow tie with a tie identical to 
SCP-2749 wrapped around it.) 


Dr. : And what services does this 
organisation provide? 


SCP-2749-A3: Oh doctor, don't be silly! We 
provide business, of course! That's our 
business! 


Dr. :So|see. That'll suffice for now,

Time: 6:00am 2016/06/07 

<Begin Log> 


Dr. : Morning SCP-2749-A3. 


SCP-2749-A3: Ahh, good morning to you, 
doctor! Another unidentifiable morning here at 
Metal Box! Now, let's get down to business! 


Dr. : Could you tell me about how your 
branch came into existence? 


SCP-2749-A3: Oh yes! | was enjoying myself 
one day until BEEP, it was a call from MR. 
BUSINESS! He said to me, "Laptop, you have 
business to attend to — work in a foreign land." 
And that's all | needed to know! | said goodbye 
to my family, my friends and... SWOOSH, | 
was off! Over time, Mr. Business sent more 
and more colleagues. Printer, pencil, bike, 
some cups to serve us... And the BUSINESS 
INC. METAL BOX BRANCH was born! 


Dr. : And what did Mr. Business ask you to 
do? 


SCP-2749-A3: Business. 


Dr. : How long do you suppose the branch 
will last? 


SCP-2749-A3: As long as it takes! 
Dr. :As long as it takes to do what, exactly? 


SCP-2749-A3: To deliver business to this 
world! Funny, most of the work was already 
done before we got here... We used to have a 
branch in a land called the "USA" or 
something, and the states is pretty close to this 
place, so maybe they had some influence on 
your Culture. 


Dr. : Where were you before you came 
here? 


SCP-2749-A3: Our business capital, good ol’ 


Business! 
Dr. : And how did you get here? 


SCP-2749-A3: "Wherever there's a doorway, 
there's business!" - MR. BUSINESS 

It's actually hard to explain, but | think it has 
something to do with being placed- hey, this is 
a PERSONAL question! Nothing personal, just 
business! 


Dr. : I'm simply asking for the background of 
your employees. 


SCP-2749-A3: Well, ok, | guess | gotta be 
honest here. | don't really know the answer. 
Maybe I'll ask Mr. Business himself! 


(SCP-2749-A3 pauses for roughly 30 seconds) 


SCP-2749-A3: He says: "The calls of our lord 
to business are a force that cannot be 
described in words or even thoughts." 


Dr. : Your lord? Is that Mr. Business? 


SCP-2749-A3: No, Mr. Business is our boss. 
He tells us that business is the path to 
enlightenment and it should be spread 
throughout these pagan lands. 


Dr. :1 think so. That'll do, SCP-2749-A3. 


SCP-2749-A3: Remember doctor, it's 
everyone's business!

SCP-2750: Navajo Skinwalkers 


Item #: SCP-2750 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Currently, the Foundation has 3 
SCP-2750 instances in containment. SCP-2750 instances are not 
permitted to change their appearances for any reason. Any changes 
in appearance are to be noted, and SCP-2750 instances are to be 
punished accordingly by revoking certain privileges. 


Capture of uncontained SCP-2750 instances is difficult due to the 
aversion that SCP-2750 instances show towards humans, and the 
rarity of SCP-2750 instances themselves. Containment teams are to 
conduct a monthly sweep of the areas where SCP-2750 instances 
have been known to inhabit. 


Description: SCP-2750 is the collective designation referring to a 
group of anomalous humanoids that are known to inhabit the 
southwest United States, specifically the regions of northeast 
Arizona and southern Utah, notably around the area of the Navajo 
Nation reservation. 


SCP-2750 specimens heavily resemble non-anomalous humans of 
Navajo descent. Following this trend, SCP-2750 instances invariably 
wear clothing and masks associated with Navajo culture of the 
1800s. Beyond their stated anomalous properties, SCP-2750 
instances resemble normal humans from a biological standpoint. 


SCP-2750 instances demonstrate the ability to change their 
appearances and body shapes to various animals found in the 
southwestern United States, particularly those that are prominent in 
Navajo culture, such as coyotes, foxes, wolves, eagles, and crows. 
This effect is voluntarily triggered, and all captured SCP-2750 
instances have shown the ability to change into at least 5 different 
animals, though field reports have suggested that certain instances 


subject's memory, as well as a complete memory of their time stored 
on SCP-318-1. They are unable to exert any direct influence on 
objects or personnel, and though they can make requests of a 
reader, the reader is under no obligation or compulsion to accede to 
these requests. Testing has shown no memetic properties in writings 
or drawings on SCP-318-1, and subjects do not appear to be more 
persuasive than they were while alive. However, some staff have 
through prolonged interaction displayed sympathy towards 
SCP-318-1 subjects - such individuals should be transferred to 
nonsentient SCP items, or terminated if a transfer is not feasible. 


Addendum 318-01: SCP-318 was recovered by Foundation agents 
on / /20 ,in , . Stories of a "Library of the Ancestors" 
caught the attention of Dr. , who was vacationing nearby. 
Investigation revealed an isolated monastery, containing both 
SCP-318 and several hundred instances of SCP-318-1. Both the 
press and the scrolls were taken into Foundation custody, along with 
a number of other suspicious items (none of which have yet proven 
anomalous), the monks questioned and terminated, and the 
monastery destroyed. Local news reports the following day reflected 
the accidental fire which claimed the lives of all its inhabitants, as 
well as their extensive collection of antiques. Efforts are ongoing to 
determine whether any instances of SCP-318-1 remain in existence 
outside Foundation custody.
