SCP-2575 will migrate into a new shape, occur over the course of 
approximately four days. In instances where SCP-2575 does not 
shift between its three identified unique structures, only minor 
changes to the shape exhibited by SCP-2575 will occur. 


SCP-2575 has exhibited steady signs of orbital decay as expected 
since its discovery in 1987. Following the completion of its pass by 
the L2 Lagrangian Point in 2084, SCP-2575 will have lost sufficient 
orbital stability to cause it to fall into the Earth's atmosphere (where 
it will presumably be neutralized) on January 28th of 2086. 


Addendum 2575-1: SCP-2575 has twice generated anomalous 
communications along low frequency radio waves. Both signals 
were transmitted over the course of precisely 13 seconds. The first 
transmission was received 17:03:48 UTC+0 11/01/2005, during the 
first recorded occurrence of SCP-2575-C: 


"-cause of what you have done the heavens have 
become a part of man's world, and as you [unintelligible] 
from the Sea of Tranquility, it inspires us to redouble our 
efforts to bring peace and-"5 


The second transmission was received 03:36:18 UTC 
+0 14/01/2039, immediately following a restructuring event from 
SCP-2575-B to SCP-2575-C: 


"-faith in and respect for our space program, and what 
happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don't 
hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and 
cover thi-"6 


Note that at both times of transmission SCP-2575 was in an exact 
line with The Earth, Moon, and L2, an event which is only expected 
to occur 3 times prior to the decay of SCP-2575's orbit (the final time 
occurring in 2071). The mechanism by which SCP-2575 generates 
these transmissions, and the significance of the Earth-Moon-L2 
alignment, is currently unknown. 


Incident 2575-1: At 4:18:23 UTC+0 17/11/2028 SCP-2575 
underwent a rapid restructuring event to SCP-2575-C over the 
course of 92 seconds, and exhibited animation’ intermittently for the 


following 4 hours. It immediately oriented itself toward the Tyson- 
Ambrough Launch Facility outside Kiruna, Sweden where the 
maiden voyage of the Gagnraér II Space Launch System (Mission 
ID GSS-03) was slated to launch later that morning. At 7:04:00 UTC 
+0 SCP-2575 was seen to shudder rapidly, assume the fetal 
position, and turn away from Earth. 18 minutes later the Gagnradar II 
solid rocket boosters ignited prematurely and the vehicle underwent 
catastrophic failure on the launch pad, all 4 astronauts on board and 
5 members of the ground crew were killed.

SCP-2576: Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Goat 


Memetic Inoculation Required 


By continuing to read this page, you agree to be 
memetically inoculated by a Class II memetic hazard so 
as to perceive the memetic entity described in this file. 
There is currently no way to undo this memetic 
inoculation. Individuals assigned to SCP-2576 are 
required to be inoculated. 


To be inoculated, please observe the image contained in 
this file, and read the caption beneath it. Personnel who 
are properly inoculated should be able to perceive the 
image as it is described in the caption. 


Item #: SCP-2576 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2576 and Joseph Abbasi 
are contained in a low-security dormitory at Area-12, and are under 
the jurisdiction of the Foundation Parazoology Department. Joseph 
Abbasi has expressed no desire to leave Area-12, and as such will 
likely sustain SCP-2576’s containment indefinitely. 


Research into SCP-2576’s status in the event of Mr. Abbasi’s death 
is Ongoing. 


Description: SCP-2576 is a memetic non-entity, capable of being 
perceived only by humans who are aware of its perception by other 
humans. SCP-2576 resembles a small Capra aegagrus hircus, or 
common domesticated goat, whose outermost layer of skin and fur 
is a constantly shifting pattern of all colors of visible light. Despite its 


ability to be perceived by humans as an actual, physical entity, 
testing and video observation of SCP-2576 has concluded that it 
does not exist except as a memetic device within human minds. 


SCP-2576 usually acts like a typical domesticated goat, with several 
exceptions. SCP-2576 cannot interact physically with the world 
around it, and is capable of moving between walls and other solid 
objects. SCP-2576 does not appear to require sustenance, though 
can be perceived as attempting to eat grass or other plant life it 
encounters. SCP-2576 can communicate with humans, usually in 
their native tongue, but does not produce actual sound, instead 
projecting its voice as a memetic influence within a human mind. 
Individuals who hear SCP-2576 speak to them find it difficult to 
describe the voice they are hearing, and their descriptions usually 
conflict with each other. 


SCP-2576 self-describes as “Discordious, the Harbinger of Chaos”, 
and claims to be a powerful memetic entity that has become trapped 
within the form of a memetic goat by Joseph Abbasi (formerly 
SCP-2576-B), a goat herder from Zhob, Pakistan. Despite 
consistent testing on Joseph Abbasi that has been unable to 
produce any evidence that Mr. Abbasi exhibits any anomalous 
qualities whatsoever, SCP-2576 does not appear capable of existing 
in any form outside of a range of roughly 30m from Mr. Abbasi. 
While this seems to cause SCP-2576 a considerable amount of 
distress, since being contained by Foundation personnel SCP-2576 
appears to have resigned itself to its current existence, preferring to 
spend its time acting like a goat and attempting to proselytize to 
Foundation personnel near Mr. Abbasi. 


Addendum 2576.1: Discovery 


SCP-2576 was discovered by Joseph Abbasi in 2009, and was 
shortly thereafter contained by Foundation personnel after reports of 
a ghostly creature haunting a Pakistani man were circulated on the 
internet. The following is an interview with Joseph Abbasi, shortly 
after his collection by Foundation personnel. SCP-2576’s dialogue 
was transcribed by an outside observer. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


Dr. Bagoori: So tell us about the night you first saw the 
goat. 


Mr. Abbasi: Well, you have dreamed about work, yes? | 
think most people have. | dream about goats sometimes; 
that is my work. So that night, | sleep later than usual, 
and resitlessly. 


SCP-2576: Restless and filthy, the foul mind of a man. 
Restless because of the presence of Discordious, 
undoubtedly. 


Mr. Abbasi: Will you give it a rest for five minutes. 
(SCP-2576 is silent.) Thank you. In my dream, | saw the 
sky colored with the colors of the rainbow. Flashing 
across the sky, very bright. Then | saw something 
coming out of the sky, wrapped in the colors. It looked 
like an eye, but it was also many eyes, and it spun very, 
very quickly. When it looked at something, that thing was 
destroyed. Black lightning came down around me, 
striking and disturbing the ground. It was very 
uncomfortable, and it was not long before the eyes 
settled on me. 


Dr. Baqoori: What happened then? 
SCP-2576: An abomination! Blasohemy! Wretched fi— 


Mr. Abbasi: Pooki! Enough! (Mr. Abbasi slaps the entity, 
which despite its lack of physical presence reels from the 
strike and glowers at Mr. Abbasi from the corner of the 
room.) | named the goat Pooki. It does not like it very 
much, but | do not like being told about the wretched 
undulations of humanity’s sins while | am trying to sleep, 
Pooki. (Pauses) The monster in the sky settled its gaze 
on me, and for a moment | felt an intense heat. But then | 
remembered my goats, and was comforted. The next 
thing | knew, | had opened my eyes from my dreaming 
and Pooki was standing before me. He was very 
confused, | think. It took him some time before he settled 
down. 


donning SCP-288-1. Along with this knowledge, they feel an innate 
urge to cook, clean, and mend things around their home incessantly; 
they lose the will to have a job of their own and become exceedingly 
obedient and loyal to their spouse, as well as religious and authority 
figures. Many wearers of SCP-288-1 exhibit a fondness for rather 
modest dress, and are uncomfortable when wearing pants or more 
revealing clothing. They also develop a fondness for children, and if 
they do not already have children, express the urge to have them. 


When SCP-288-2 is worn by any adult male in a relationship, he 
undergoes a similar change, taking on the characteristics of popular 
media's portrayal of an "all-American dad", whether or not he has 
children of his own. Men describe the experience similarly to 
women, in that they feel they are not in control of their actions. He 
shows loyalty and obedience to political, religious, and authority 
figures, and an innate duty to his current professional management 
structure. He will work exceedingly long hours without complaint, 
and maintains an upbeat and motivated demeanor at his work. No 
matter the nature of his former personality, he becomes friendly and 
easy to approach, good with kids and fiercely loyal to his spouse. He 
is always willing to help around the house and willing to please with 
a shoulder rub. Men with children become attentive, engaged 
fathers, and men without children express a strong desire to have 
them. 


When used collectively, SCP-288 seems to recreate a model of a 
"Stepford Marriage". While this seems ideal and relatively harmless, 
SCP-288 has been responsible for numerous crimes, including 
spousal abuse, murder, and suicide. Both women and men report 
feeling trapped while wearing SCP-288, and out of control of their 
own life. After extended periods of wearing SCP-288, they often 
have intense feelings of depression and personality displacement. 
On amore sinister note, somebody wearing either instance of 
SCP-288 will take virtually any manner of abuse from a spouse 
without a word or raising a hand to defend themselves. 


In transsexual/transgender individuals, the ring appears to react to 
their gender identity. Therefore, a transsexual/transgender individual 
assigned male at birth would react to the female ring, rather than the 
male ring, whether or not they were pre- or post-gender 


Dr. Bagoori: You said earlier that others did not believe 
you at first. 


Mr. Abbasi: No... | don’t think other people can see 
Pooki until they are told he is there. They cannot hear 
him, either. He doesn’t seem to like this either, since he 
mostly likes to bother people. (Laughs) He was not 
always a rainbow goat. At first he was a regular goat, 
and several days later | found him looking like he looks 
now. He cannot do much, but he can make himself 
rainbow colored, so he did that. | think it was out of spite. 


SCP-2576: (Ranting) -and succumb to your bestial 
nature. Give in to your inhumanity. Embrace your lust for 
blood and metal. Eradicate the sc— 


Dr. Bagoori: Has the goat ever harmed you, or anyone 
else? 


Mr. Abbasi: No. You know he’s not really there, right? 
He’s not real. 


SCP-2576: -where | will ravage your very being and 
obliterate your pitiful essence, your suckling children will 
weep for merciful death after I- 


Mr. Abbasi: Pooki, go lie down. 


SCP-2576: | am Discordious, Harbinger of Chaos, and | 
will come for you, domesticated human sheep, petrified 
of true power. | taste blood and steel. YOU ARE UNDER 
ATTACK. (Pauses) But | will go lie down, as | desire to 
rest for a short time. (G/ares at Mr. Abbasi and Dr. 
Bagoori) You would do well to tremble amongst 
yourselves while | slumber. 


Dr. Baqoori: Is it always like this? 


Mr. Abbasi: Usually. But he actually really enjoys being 
scratched behind the ears, if you can believe it. That 
usually calms him down. Oh, and oats. He loves oats. He 


can't... he doesn’t actually eat them, you know. But he 
goes through the motions, and that seems to make him 


happy. 
Dr. Baqoori: Why do you think it looks like a goat? 


Mr. Abbasi: Well... | think wherever Pooki came from, 
he must have been a big deal. He came here expecting 
to be a big deal here too, but... how big a deal can 
something be if it can get trapped as a dream goat ina 
poor herder’s head? (Laughs) He’s funny, though. | don’t 
mind keeping him around. Better here as a goat than 
somewhere else that he could cause trouble, eh? 


[END LOG] 
Addendum 2576.2: Incident Log 


The following are recorded incidents between SCP-2576 and 
Foundation personnel. Any personnel who encounters SCP-2576 is 
encouraged to file a report with the SCP-2576 Research Team at 
Site-17. 


Incident ID: |.2576.1 
Date: 09/13/2010 
Location: Site-17 B-Wing Cafeteria 


Summary: Dr. Lauren Palmer was confronted by 
SCP-2576 during breakfast. SCP-2576 spoke fervently 
to Dr. Palmer about “undoing the vile aberrations of her 
unclean flesh”. SCP-2576 continued for several minutes 
before growing tired and falling asleep on the ground 
near Dr. Palmer’s table. SCP-2576 was shortly thereafter 
collected by Mr. Abbasi and returned to their 
containment quarters. 


Incident ID: |.2576.5 


Date: 11/25/2011 


Location: Testing Chamber W-303 


Summary: SCP-2576 entered the wall of the testing 
chamber during routine testing of SCP- .SCP-2576 
remarked on “the frailty of this dismal existence” and “the 
absolution of truth that all wicked souls must face”. 
Became distracted by Dr. Moore’s laser pointer before 
eventually returning to Mr. Abbasi, who was undergoing 
a routine examination in the next room. 


Incident ID: |.2576.9 
Date: 06/01/2012 
Location: Asst. Director Sinclair's Office 


Summary: SCP-2576 entered Asst. Director Sinclair’s 
office during a meeting between the Assistant Director, 
Director Aktus of Site-81, and Director Orwell of Site-63. 
SCP-2576 attempted to get the attention of the three 
directors in order to proselytize to them, but was ignored. 
After multiple attempts to interact with the directors, 
SCP-2576 became quiet for a time and watched the 
directors from the corner of the office. Some time later 
SCP-2576 approached Asst. Director Sinclair, who 
proceeded to scratch SCP-2576 behind the ears and 
offer it some oats, which it promptly was perceived to be 
seen eating. SCP-2576 reportedly wagged its tail 
throughout the exchange.
