SCP-2013 refers to two related anomalies. SCP-2013-A 
is a humanoid species of extraterrestrials with reptilian 
characteristics, believed to have originated from the 
Alpha Draconis star system. The average instance of 
SCP-2013 stands approximately 3m tall, with skin that is 
capable of changing color due to chromatophore cells 
similar to those found in chameleons. SCP-2013-A 
instances are hematophagic and cannot survive without 
blood for more than two weeks at atime, and do not 
require any additional sustenance, despite the fact that 
they have been known to eat other forms of food. If an 
instance of SCP-2013-A dies violently, their bodies 
sublimate into a large quantity of nitrogen-based gas 
whose molecular chains resemble some forms of 
amnestic used by the Foundation, causing memory loss 
in all individuals within a 50-meter radius. 


SCP-2013-B refers to technology used by SCP-2013-A 
to alter their appearance to resemble human beings. 


SCP-2013-B has several variations, including a pill 
ingested by SCP-2013-A on a weekly basis to alter their 
DNA and body chemistry to resemble a human's, to "skin 
suits" that act as size-altering disguised to SCP-2013-A 
instances, to permanent cosmetic alteration of their 
features. 


SCP-2013-A instances are functionally immortal, 
provided that they imbibe a volume of approximately 5L 
of blood at least once every two weeks. However, 
SCP-2013 as a whole can be weakened provided that 
humans are both aware of the existence of SCP-2013, 
and believe that it exists; for example, if an individual 
views an autopsy video of an SCP-2013-A instance, but 
does not believe the instance to be a genuine article, 
SCP-2013 suffers no detrimental effects. However, if 1 
out of 5 individuals viewing a live feed of an SCP-2013-A 
specimen believe it to be real, the specimen will be 
weakened to the point where it can be killed using small 
arms fire with no detrimental effects. 


Addendum: The Hereford Protocol: The Hereford 
protocol is a global series of military coups and 
assassinations to be carried out against SCP-2013 once 
information saturation has reached 20%. During this, a 
series of coordinated attacks across several countries, 
including [DATA EXPUNGED] are to be carried out to 
eliminate SCP-2013-A instances. By this point, 
SCP-2013-B instances will have ceased to be effective in 
disguising SCP-2013-A as humans, and the populace of 
countries where SCP-2013 has control will begin to 
question the legitimacy of their rule. 


Known SCP-2013-A instances that will be neutralized 
during the Hereford Protocol include: 


¢ All current and former presidents of , as 
well as their families 
¢ Several actors and musicians, including ; 
, and ‘ 
¢ The royal families of ; , and 


¢« [DATA EXPUNGED] 
¢ [DATA EXPUNGED] 
* % of GOI-02-Black (The Chaos Insurgency) 


The Hereford Protocol is expected to be carried out 
some time in late 2011 or early 2012. 


Addendum: On 06/05/ __, a believed instance of SCP-2013-A died 
of natural causes. The Foundation took the body into custody for 
autopsy, only to find that this alleged instance of SCP-2013-A was, 
in fact, a normal human being. Further inspection by uninfected 
personnel showed that all deceased instances of SCP-2013-A in 
storage were, in fact, human beings; all reports on SCP-2013-A 
were written by individuals affected by SCP-2013. 


Given this information, we are cancelling the Hereford Protocol; new 
containment procedures have been written regarding SCP-2013. -

It all comes down to money. 


We couldn't get funding, in the early days. The various 
governments of the world refused to fund us, and we 
didn't have SCPs that made endless amounts of gold or 
jewels or could be used to cheat the stock market. The 
President of the United States said "No". The Czar said 
"No". The Crown said "No". They didn't believe what we 
were doing was right, or useful. 


Despite our lack of resources, we had one thing we 
could use. SCP-2013. Neither of the files you just read 
about SCP-2013 is the actual one; the original original 
file doesn't exist anymore, but the gist of it was this: 
SCP-2013 was a clutch of eggs that we found at the 
bottom of the sea in 1900, brought up by a fishing 
trawler. The eggs were dead, but the Foundation kept 
them as a curiosity. 


In the early days, the Foundation was obsessed with 
bringing the dead back to life, thanks to Frankenstein. 
We tried to revive the eggs in various ways, from 
supporting the embryos outside of the egg (which failed), 
to electrocuting them (which cooked them), to just plain 
incubating them (which also cooked them). Eventually, 


we tried an experimental compound that's long since 
been lost to history. It was made up of mercury, iridium, 
radium, and a few other elements that science didn't yet 
know about. 


And then the eggs hatched. 


They acted just like children, but they looked like iguanas 
mixed with gorillas. They had blood chemistry we had 
never seen before, and could mimic human speech and 
behavior to a startling degree. At the same time, the 
Foundation had been developing disguises to hide its 
agents in unfriendly lands, and they were so high-quality, 
a 50-year-old man could wear a face that made him look 
like an 18-year-old girl, and, except for perhaps the 
height, it would be impossible to tell the difference. 


The creatures that hatched from SCP-2013 were 
cooperative, and viewed us as their parents. They also 
matured very quickly, and grew to adult size within 6 
months. All we needed to do was educate them about 
the world at large, put them in a skin suit, and then we 
sent them out into the world to be the best at their job. 


They were politicians, writers, singers, actors, kings, 
queens, inventors, agents... they were all important, in 
their own way. Five out of the last seventeen US 
Presidents have been these creatures, as of 2012. The 
Queen of England got replaced long ago, and her family 
still doesn't know it. Our greatest success was probably 
infiltrating a major cell of the Chaos Insurgency back in 
the 1970's. 


Over the years, we've bred over 1,500 instances of 
SCP-2013-A, and technology improved to make their 
disguises more convincing; we could alter their height, 
their DNA, even permanently sculpt their appearance so 
that they never ran the risk of being exposed. That's how 
the Foundation got a large part of their funding up until 
they discovered that we could literally make gold from 
lead using simple fission and fusion reactions. Platinum's 


actually simpler to make, but that's beside the point. We 
eventually discontinued the SCP-2013 program, and we 
rounded them up and, essentially, expunged them from 
existence; we thought we had killed them all, except for a 
couple we kept alive for the sake of testing. 


And then we got word that the Global Occult Coalition 
had been infiltrated by an SCP-2013-A instance. They 
had made their way up the ranks quite a way, to the 
point that they were a consultant for the ambassador 
from Czechoslovakia. Nobody was the wiser until we 
received a reconnaissance report from the "agent" itself. 
We informed the GOC, it was detained, and written off as 
an isolated event. 


We thought that was the end of it, until the elections 
happened. A small constituency in England elected its 
MP for the term, and then we found out that all of the 
candidates were actually SCP-2013-A instances. We 
didn't know about this until after the election, and after 
that, it was too late to take any of them out; they were 
public figures, they were in the media, and any action 
against them would draw suspicion. 


We found that on their own, SCP-2013-A had spread all 
over the globe. For all intents and purposes, they rule the 
world; more than half but less than three-fourths of the 
world's governments are controlled by them. We 
classified them as Keter, made them aliens, and said 
that they were effectively immortal to discourage any 
assassinations. But, we weren't without hope. There was 
always the secondary effect. 


SCP-2013-A, for some reason, got weaker when people 
observed them. One of the researchers studying them 
called it a "detrimental anti-memetic effect", or "the more 
people know about them, the less effective they are”. 
They grew less intelligent, lost muscle mass, underwent 
osteoporosis, and all-around just became easier to kill. 
The more of them there were, the less harmful the 
overall effect was; "memetic dilution" was the phrase that 


was thrown around. 


So, we began a plan to kill them. Crack the masquerade, 
however so slightly, reveal the existence of them to the 
world at large to cancel out the memetic dilution. And it 
was working, for a while; people who were called 
crackpots by their peers realized the truth, that their 
governments, their world, was not their own. They were 
called mad, but soon, the whole world would see the 
truth. 


The program was canceled, and the "it was all just a 
weird meme" explanation slapped on it, after the corpse 
was found. The Cardiff Compound was engineered to 
prevent anyone else to give into what was called a 
"crackpot conspiracy theory", and distributed through 
airplanes via chemirail. But they are real. 


But, for some reason, this order was passed down: 


It has come to my attention that we have 
incorrectly documented SCP-2013. SCP-2013- 
A is non-existent, as is evidenced by the 
exhumations of several purported SCP-2013-A 
instances, as well as DNA samples and the 
recently recorded autopsy. Gentlemen, it 
appears we have been had. 


SCP-2013 was clearly nothing more than a 
harmless memetic agent that caused mass 
paranoia and made us interpret certain people 
in positions of fame or power as something not 
of this world. How this happened, we don't 
know; who made it, or even how it was made, 
we don't know; why it was made, we don't 
know. But we will find out. 


SCP-2013 is to be reclassified as Safe, and its 
containment file rewritten. For the sake of 
context, the current containment procedures 
are to be archived, and are accessible to any 


researcher with Level-4/2013 or higher 
clearance.

SCP-2014: Zsar Magoth 


Item #: SCP-2014 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2014 is to be kept in an 
artificial habitat appropriate for geckos in Site-27. It should be cared 
for as specified in care sheet 2014-A, derived from open-source 
material on Eublepharis macularius. SCP-2014 may use its 
skateboard for recreational purposes if good behaviour is 
maintained, although it must be kept under surveillance with 
anesthesiologists standing by in case it attempts to breach 
containment. 


Description: SCP-2014 is an adult male gecko belonging to the 
Eublepharis macularius species, measuring 8.5 cm in length. 
SCP-2014 is physically indistinguishable from other members of its 
species. 


SCP-2014 is sapient and possesses telekinetic abilities. It can use 
these abilities to manipulate objects from afar. SCP-2014 is capable 
of manipulating any object within 24 meters of itself, regardless of 
whether or not it is visible. SCP-2014 identifies itself as “Zsar 
Magoth”, an extradimensional entity suspected to have been 
responsible for creating multiple cults and causing several crimes, 
such as murder, theft, and indecent exposure. 


SCP-2014 came to the attention of the Foundation on the 21st of 
February, 1998, when one of the contestants in a skateboarding 
championship in Los Angeles, California was seen performing 
physically impossible stunts. It was later discovered that the 
contestant had performed an occult ritual in order to summon the 
consciousness of Zsar Magoth into the body of his pet gecko. 
SCP-2014 was kept inside the pocket of the contestant, and used its 
telekinetic powers to give him an advantage in the championship. All 
witnesses were given Class-B amnestics. 


Addendum: Interview Log 


Interviewed: SCP-2014 


Interviewer: Doctor 


Foreword: SCP-2014 was given a pen and paper to 
manipulate telekinetically in order to communicate. All 
answers are transcribed verbatim. 


<Begin Log> 
Doctor : Hello, SCP-2014. Can you understand me? 
SCP-2014: Loud and clear, doc-o. 


Doctor : | want to ask you some questions, if you 
don’t mind. 


SCP-2014: Sure, that sounds gnarly. 


Doctor : The body you are occupying is not your 
original one, correct? 


SCP-2014: That's right, | got dibs on this lizard booty 
when this wimpy kid summoned me. Dude was flipping 
his wig over some skate competition. | could see that he 
was a total newb that would make nothing but sketchy 
moves. But | couldn't believe | was being summoned for 
something like that, y'know? And the little flake didn't 
even bring me a sacrifice. Don't kids read Lovecraft 
these days? 


Doctor : This person summoned you to get an 
advantage in the competition, is that right? 


SCP-2014: Yeah, the little guy wanted me to use my 
wicked powers to kick his skills up a notch. Nothing 
against that, but | personally think you should work for 
what you want. Just look at yours truly. Dozens of cults 
have stolen, killed, and totally wigged out in my name. 


Doctor : Then why did you help him? 


SCP-2014: | gotta be honest, doc-o. Every rule has its 
exception. And the exception for me was skating, 
because in all my aeons I've never seen something so 
far out. | used to think you guys were all a bunch of 
flakes who | would gladly destroy once | became 
powerful enough. But now | know better. 


Doctor : | see. You also claim to be an 
extradimensional entity. Could you tell us more about 
where you came from, and if there are more like you 
there? 


SCP-2014: It is pretty insane. There are planets and 
stars like in your universe, but life ain't the same. We've 
got stuff like planet-sized, star-eating crystal serpents, 
sick lightning storms that fertilize the ground to create 
clockwork plants, some chill oceans filled with diamond 
corals and also winged carnivorous eggs that never stop 
singing Spice Girls songs. And yeah, there's like a 
bajillion guys like me. It's hella hard to stand out from the 
crowd to get someone to summon you and give a 
sacrifice, but | get by. 


Doctor : What would happen if your current body 
were destroyed? 


SCP-2014: | would go back home. And if | didn't get a 
sacrifice, the wife and slime spawn wouldn't be too 
stoked about it. 


Doctor : You have a wife and child? 
SCP-2014: Dude, PLEASE don't remind me. 


Doctor : Alright. This is enough for the interview. 
Thank you, SCP-2014. 


SCP-2014: Hey doc-o, can | ask you a favor? 


Doctor : That depends. 


SCP-2014: See if you can find some time to go skating 
with me. | can teach you wicked moves if you're in the 
mood. 


Doctor : I'll think about it.
