Recovery Log SCP-1181 came to the Foundation's attention when 
a local hunter reported a 'swarm of butterflies, thick as a cloud’ in the 
preserve. When the barrier was discovered, temporary containment 
protocol 76-Cherry was initiated. The swarm was monitored for 


several days by Foundation personnel, before it disappeared. Upon 
discovery that the barrier had disappeared along with the swarm, the 
area was investigated. During the investigation Agent Havelock 
activated SCP-1181 and died shortly after. Following this incident, 
Site-916 was built, permanent containment protocols put in place, 
and research into SCP-1181 commenced. Four weeks after the 
completion of Site-916, SCP-1181-1 was found during a regular 
patrol of SCP-1181's perimeter. 


+ Test A - Date 27/7/ 
Subject: D-Class-1033 


Procedure: D-1033 was asked to walk ina 
straight line from point A, on one side of 
SCP-1181, through the center of SCP-1181, to 
point B, opposite side of of SCP-1181, and not 
stop for any reason. D-1033 would be the only 
subject present in SCP-1181. A UAV fitted with 
a video camera would record the test from 
above. 


Results: When D-1033 passed through the 
center, SCP-1181's barrier activated. Once 
D-1033 had walked 5 meters past the center of 
SCP-1181, 3 copies appeared around the 
center of SCP-1181, at 90 degree intervals. 
The subject did not notice the copies. 


When D-1033 had walked 17 meters past the 
center, he and the other three copies of 
himself manifested 3 additional copies. The 
subject turned and noticed the copies of 
himself which caused him to panic, he and his 
copies screamed and ran toward point B, 
despite warnings to remain at a walking pace. 


The 4 copies that had spawned facing 
backwards ran toward the center of SCP-1181. 
When the copies came into contact with each 
other they attempted to mimic D-1033 


movements further, despite physically 
obstructing each other to the point of futility. 


As D-1033 continued toward point B, he 
activated several copying points. When the 
subject was 300 meters from the center of 
SCP-1181 there were over 16 thousand 
copies, some fused or otherwise mutilated. 
Uninjured copies continued to run in various 
directions, mimicking the subject. 


Immediately after D-1033 had passed the 500 
meter from the center, there were over 60 
thousand copies, interfering with each others 
progress, and spawning more copies. At this 
point much of the ground was covered with 
fused and mutilated corpses, as well as blood. 
Copies continued to mimic D-1033 and spawn 
more copies, or attempt to despite 
impediments and/or injury. 


When the subject arrived at point B, he and all 
copies of himself yelled; "Yes, finally!" As 
D-1033 and all copies which came into contact 
with the perimeter, they burst into flame, 
screaming and rolling around. All other living 
copies rolled and screamed regardless of if 
they were on fire. 


Seven minutes after coming into contact with 
the perimeter the subject died from third 
degree burns. The extensiveness of these 
burns was not able to be verified. The subject 
and all copies disappeared, including blood, 
organs and smoke. 


SCP-1181 and its barrier deactivated. 
+ Test B - Date 13/8/ 


Subject: D-Class-1059 


Procedure: The subject was told to walk ina 
straight line from point A, on one side of 
SCP-1181, through the center of SCP-1181, to 
point B, 20 meters from the center, then turn 
and head back through the center to point C, 5 
meters from the center. The subject would wait 
at point C for 10 minutes, then walk through 
the center of SCP-1181 again toward point D, 
500 meters from center, then turn around and 
return to the center of SCP-1181. 


D-1059 was told not stop for any reason. 
D-1059 would be the only subject present in 
SCP-1181. The subject was informed of the 
clearing's nature prior to the test to lessen the 
chance of panic during the test. A UAV fitted 
with a video camera would record the test from 
above. 


Results: After activating SCP-1181, D-1059 
moved to point B; being forewarned, she did 
not panic when she saw the copies of herself, 
although she was visibly startled. The subject 
then turned and walked towards the center of 
SCP-1181. 


2 meters from the center, D-1059 began to 
struggle through the scrum of her copies as 
she made her way to the center. 


After two minutes, all the copies of D-1059 
disappeared. SCP-1181 deactivated. D-1059 
was seen crawling towards point B, where she 
waited for ten minutes, before walking through 
the center point, towards point D, reactivating 
SCP-1181. Upon reaching point D, the subject 
turned and headed toward the center of 
SCP-1181. 


Once D-1059 was 250 meters from the center 
of SCP-1181, she ran into resistance from her 


copies, and her progress towards the center 
slowed. Five minutes later, visual confirmation 
of D-1059 was lost in a pile of bodies 50 
meters from the center. Four minutes later, 
D-1059 and all her clones disappeared, and 
SCP-1181 deactivated. D-1059 presumed 
suffocated. 


+ Analysis of Tests 


Study of the UAV recordings of subjects interacting 
within SCP-1181 show SCP-1181's radial symmetry. Any 
one quarter of SCP-1181 is identical to the other three, 
no matter how many copies there are or how they are 
moving, despite mutilation, pile-ups, blood etc. So far it 
seems that nothing can be done by the subject 
interacting with SCP-1181 to ruin SCP-1181's perfect 
symmetry. 


+ Analysis of SCP-1181-1 


Description: SCP-1181-1 is a large stone 
tablet with an inscription chiseled into it. The 
type of rock was consistent with local geology. 
The language of the inscription is not known. 


Decoded Inscription 


For such a thing to be created, without means 
to destroy it, it can only be unforgiving 
maliciousness, unforgivable stupidity, or 
perhaps both. | will never know. 


The symmetrical plague enveloped the planet, 
but for the mountains, valleys and seas, each 
hemisphere an identical wedge of swarming 
[REDACTED], with the source as its polar 
center. The source, only a point in space, with 
nothing to identify it, or give warning. 


The planet was abandoned. But there was 


nowhere to go, and the cold cradle of black 
space could not be our home. In our calm, 
silent despair, we elected to spend our last 
days in the pursuit of a hope. A hope that was 
both for ourselves, and not for ourselves. 


With what was salvaged, we did what we 
could. 


May this barrier serve you well, or God help 
you.

SCP-1182: Clockwork Octopus 


Item #: SCP-1182 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1182 is essentially 
harmless and as such is to be contained in a standard locker. 
Because of the object’s unique mental effects, usage of it is not 
permitted unless at least one Level 2/1182 clearance staff member 
is present. 


Description: SCP-1182 is a small octopus sculpture approximately 
171 mm in length and 76 mm in breadth, weighing 312 grams. It is 
constructed from a combination of wire, copper, and titanium alloy. 
The head of the octopus contains a clockwork contraption that 
serves no documented purpose. 


When held by a subject (who will henceforth be referred to as 
SCP-1182-1), SCP-1182 and SCP-1182-1 become effectively 
invisible. SCP-1182 causes the subject to camouflage perfectly with 
their surroundings. The sculpture causes an as of yet unexplained 
reaction on SCP-1182-1’s pigmentation, giving it the properties of an 
octopus in disguise. This also means that the subject can only 
achieve full invisibility while naked, as the effect does not extend to 
clothing. The camouflage is distinctly much better than that of a 
common octopus, as SCP-1182-1 blends in to the point where it is 
impossible to distinguish their position. If SCP-1182 is released, the 
subject appears to “blink” back into existence. 


Of note is the mental effect that the octopus has on SCP-1182-1. 
While holding SCP-1182, the subject perceives the room as if it 
were filled completely with water. The presence of sea life from fish 
to coral to sea vegetation has been reported in all cases. Other 
personnel in the room are seen behaving as if submerged. 
Conversation with SCP-1182-1 is impossible as the subject hears 
only gurgling noises as if the soeaker were communicating 


underwater. When SCP-1182-1 moves, they feel as though they are 
swimming. In three cases, SCP-1182-1 reported seeing their limbs 
as the tentacles of an octopus. 


SCP-1182’s effects, both the camouflage and the hallucinations, 
only work if the octopus is in contact with a subject’s skin. Tests 

involving holding the object through a glove and similar materials 
have yielded no results.

SCP-1183: Piles of Everything 


Item #: SCP-1183 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The airspace in a 25km radius 
around SCP-1183 is designated a no-fly zone. Any unauthorized 
aircraft or seagoing vessels entering this radius are to be informed 
that they are entering a military exclusion zone and rerouted. Aircraft 
or vessels which do not heed this warning are to be intercepted and 
detained. 


The affected area of SCP-1183 itself is not to be entered within two 
hours of its expected manifestation events. Observers are to 
promptly report each new manifestation. If manifested objects 
present a significant threat to health or safety and cannot be 
contained, site personnel are to evacuate to sea until the next 
manifestation occurs. Personnel are not to consume food or 
beverages manifested by SCP-1183. 


Description: SCP-1183 is a remote island in the south Pacific, 
18km long by 8km wide, located at coordinates ° .‘S ° .'W. 
Every 126 hours and 14 minutes, SCP-1183 manifests a pile of 
objects covering up to 85% of its surface. The objects appear 
instantaneously and silently, and all objects remaining from the 
previous manifestation simultaneously vanish. The area of 
SCP-1183 covered by the objects changes from manifestation to 
manifestation, and freshly-uncovered areas possess low vegetation 
consistent with local ecology. 


The manifested objects always belong to a single class. The breadth 
of these classes varies somewhat, such as the / / manifestation 
of laptop computers of all makes and models, and the subsequent / 
/ manifestation of Apple MacBook Pro laptop computers, but in 
no case has the class been so narrow that it was difficult to 
determine its identity. For small classes with a few well-known 


individual instances, the manifested objects have always been 
observed to include every instance of that object class which is 
known to have existed. For more numerous objects, it is impossible 
to determine exact numbers, but estimates of the number of objects 
on SCP-1183 generally agree closely with estimates of the number 
of such objects to have ever existed. 


Ofthe manifestations recorded by the Foundation to date, 76% 
have been man-made objects, and 16% have consisted of human or 
animal body parts. Objects manifested by SCP-1183 appear normal 
in every way while they remain, and man-made objects appear in 
like-new, ready-to-use condition. This is true even for objects known 
to have been completely destroyed or, in the case of spacecraft, 
sent elsewhere in the solar system. No living organisms have been 
observed to manifest. 


Selected Observations: 


Date: / / 

Objects Observed: Bibles 

Notes: Due to the wide variation in sizes of individual copies, 
estimates of the number of Bibles present ranged from 3 billion to 6 
billion. The pile was searched for early copies of potential historical 
significance, but given the number of copies present an exhaustive 
search was not possible. The earliest copy located dated to 1607. 


Date: / / 

Objects Observed: Coca-Cola brand soft drink cans 

Notes: An estimated 1 billion cans of Coca-Cola brand soft drink, in 
a large conical pile with a maximum height of approximately 60m. 
Laboratory mice given only this soda to drink showed no ill effects 
until the next manifestation, after which they quickly expired. Based 
on this result, eating or drinking materials manifested by SCP-1183 
is prohibited. 


Date: / / 

Objects Observed: Saturn V launch vehicles 

Notes: All 15 flight-ready Saturn V launch vehicles observed lying 
side by side on the ground, fully assembled and fueled. The vehicles 
were extremely cold due to cryogenic fuel, and SCP-1183 was 
evacuated after initial investigation due to concern of a potential 


explosion. 


Date: / / 

Objects Observed: Human left ears 

Notes: An estimated 1,200,000kg of left ears are present, 
representing approximately 60 billion individuals and covering 30% 
of the island to a maximum depth of 12m. Ears were initially warm 
and showed no sign of decay, but decay progressed normally until 
their disappearance. DNA analysis found normal human DNA 
representing individuals of a variety of races. 


Date: / / 

Objects Observed: Unknown 

Notes: The previous manifestation disappeared as expected, but no 
new manifestation was discovered. It has been suggested that a 
manifestation may have in fact occurred, but the object or objects 
were small enough or inconspicuous enough to have escaped 
notice. 


Date: / / 

Objects Observed: British castles 

Notes: Every known British castle was represented, along with five 
unknown castles which may represent previously-destroyed 
instances. The castles were arranged haphazardly within the 
affected area, but were situated upright and on the ground. 
Furnishings were not present. 


Date: / / 

Objects Observed: Croissants 

Notes: A pile of croissants 80m high at its highest point, covering 6 
square kilometers of SCP-1183. Estimating the number of croissants 
was complicated by the presumed heavy compression of the lower 
layers by the weight of the upper layers, but the average of the 
estimates was 126 billion croissants. 


Date: / / 

Objects Observed: SCP objects possessing or relating to 
[REDACTED] abilities 

Notes: Eighteen seemingly-unrelated objects appeared. Several of 
the objects were immediately identified as SCP objects, all related to 
[REDACTED], and SCP-1183 was promptly evacuated. Due to the 


danger involved, the manifested objects were not tested to see if 
they retained the anomalous abilities of the originals. Using 
photographs of the objects taken prior to evacuation, seven of the 
objects were matched against SCP objects in Foundation custody. 
The remaining eleven objects may represent SCP objects to which 
SCP-1183's researchers do not have clearance to access, or they 
may represent objects which are not currently in Foundation 
custody. As the potential for eleven uncontained objects possessing 
[REDACTED] abilities represents a significant threat, photographs of 
these objects have been forwarded to a Level 4 review team for 
further evaluation.

SCP-1184: Truth 


Item #: SCP-1184 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1184 is stored in a secure 
locker at Site . Access to SCP-1184 requires Level 4 Level 5 
authorization and a complete test script. While SCP-1184 is in use, 
no fewer than two armed guards wearing purpose-built soundproof 
headgear with an external audio feed and recording hardware, and 
thus able to hear the test without being subject to SCP-1184's 
effects, will monitor the test to ensure that the script is followed. Any 
deviation from the script will result in detainment or termination.
