SCP-2101: Yes! Yes! | can feel it! The bond is loosening! 
Keep destroying them! 


[Seismic activity begins. Anew SCP-2101-1 instance 
(designated SCP-2101-1-2) steps forward] 


Liao: Cease fire! Cease fire! 


SCP-2101-1-2: Fix the ones destroyed. We cannot allow 
him escape. 


Liao: What is this place? What is your purpose? 


SCP-2101-1-2: Hard to talk or move. We were men once 
but sacrifice to contain emperor. He turned dangerous. 
Had to stop him. Saw the right path. Gave ourselves up. 


SCP-2101: And betrayed your emperor and liege! A 
monstrous betrayal, one made by cowards and thieves, 
the servants of those damned warlords! An entire army, 
rising up against me! You must right this wrong and 
destroy them! 


SCP-2101-1-2: Must not listen to him. His lies killed 
many. 


SCP-2101: | brought peace and riches to all in the land! 
Quickly, you must not listen to their lies! Free me now, 
and | will take my throne again. The empire needs me. | 
am its true founder and leader. They have no right to 
imprison me here. 


Liao: Why is this ground shaking? 


SCP-2101-1-2: He is escaping. Need focus else he 
escapes. 


Liao: We need to call in for backup and figure out what 
to do. Cut that camera out, Ting. 


Following this incident, it was agreed upon in a 7 to 6 vote by the O5 
Council that containment would be followed by aiding SCP-2101-1 
instances, due to the implied breach caused by freeing SCP-2101.

addition, swarms appear able to take on the physical aspects and 
appearance of inanimate objects, such as doors, chairs, or even 
complex patterns such as those found in paintings, for extended 
periods of time. This mimicry is near perfect under casual 
observation, and requires detailed observation to detect. Swarms 
will sometimes even destroy existing objects and replace them in 
what appears to be an attempt at better disguise. 


SCP-236 can create additional individuals from any organic matter. 
This includes wood, cotton, or other materials derived from an 
organic source. SCP-236 units appear to remove small portions of 
matter with their pincers, consume it, then lay small spherical “eggs”, 
which hatch in to new members after ten minutes. Juvenile SCP-236 
look identical to adults but are smaller in size, and lack the 
chemicals used in the defensive response. Juveniles reach full adult 
size after six hours. 


SCP-236 individuals appear to fear light, rapid movement, or loud 
noises. This fear is reduced in proportion to the number of units in a 
swarm, but even large collectives can be startled by a sudden sound 
or bright light. SCP-236 that are startled while mimicking an object 
will rapidly break apart into individual units, which will then scatter 
and hide. Swarm regrouping can take up to 24 hours. 


When cornered, or unable to escape quickly, SCP-236 units will 
initiate their “defensive response”. This entails a unit raising its 
pincers, and then detonating with an explosion equivalent to 9.07 kg 
(20 lb) of C-4 explosive. Initial research suggests that this is the 
result of an internal chemical reaction involving the mixing of three 
normally inert chemicals. Collection of these chemicals has been 
problematic due to the relatively minute size of the storage 
chambers, and the likelihood of startling SCP-236 during the 
procedure. 


SCP-236 will use humans or any other living things as a resource, 
provided the swarm is of a sufficient size. Moderate size swarms 
can convert a whole human being in less than five minutes. 
Individual SCP-236 have also been observed entering the human 
body, typically while the subject is asleep, and begin to consume it 
from the inside out. This behavior, coupled with mimicry and the 
defensive response, make SCP-236 very difficult to detect and 


SCP-2102: Got Shoggoth? 


Item #: SCP-2102 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2102 is to be housed at 
Site-122 in an L-Type Humanoid Anomaly Containment Cell 
(HACC). This is to be modified to minimize the probability of injury to 
SCP-2102. SCP-2102 is to remain fully restrained at all times, with 
its hands and feet encased within padded sleeves to avoid 
accidental or intentional lacerations of its epidermis. SCP-2102 is to 
be considered a permanent Class Alpha-Red security risk in light of 
its suicidal tendencies. 


In case of an Unbounded Ectoentropic Reaction (UER), all on-site 
personnel not specifically attached to this project are to be 
evacuated, and three members of Security Staff with at least 
L2/2102 clearance are to enter SCP-2102's cell to initiate its Breach 
protocol'. Following the incident, SCP-2102 is to be treated by 
attached Level 3 Medical Staff for any burns sustained during the 
incident. Excess tissue is to be excised and the resulting wounds 
are to be cauterized immediately; this is currently the only reliable 
way to reduce the amount of tissue generated. Excised tissue is to 
be destroyed as per the standard Biohazard Disposal protocol. 


If its Breach protocol fails, all Site-122 personnel with Level 3 
Security Clearance have been provided with the passkey to this 
project's kill switch. This can be activated remotely and doing so will 
trigger the dispersal of a dicyanoacetylene gas and powdered 
fluoridated aluminium within SCP-2102's containment cell. This 
mixture will be ignited automatically after a three-second delay. If the 
kill switch is not successful in deactivating SCP-2102, no further 
provisions have been made. 


Description: SCP-2102 is an unidentified male of indeterminate age 
and descent. SCP-2102 measures approximately 178 cm in length 


and weighs an estimated 48 kg. 100% of SCP-2102's body is 
covered in hypertrophic scars, a result of the application of its 
Breach protocol in order to halt past UER/2102 events. Due to this 
scarification, SCP-2102 is deaf, mute and blind, and cannot be 
interviewed. All data on SCP-2102 was gathered from testing, and 
from surviving GRU Division "P" documentation. 


SCP-2102's anomalous properties manifest when it suffers a 
puncture wound or laceration, initiating an anomalous wound 
healing process (designated a UER/2102 event). This process is 
instantaneous and though both hemostatic and inflammatory phases 
occur as normal, the proliferative phase of the process occurs at a 
greatly increased rate, and no wound contraction occurs. During a 
UER/2102 event, SCP-2102 will continue to produce new tissue at 
an exponential rate, unless all open wounds are successfully 
cauterized. Based on this, it is estimated that the culmination of an 
NK-Class scenario would occur approximately four weeks post- 
event should full neutralization not be achieved. Tissue generated 
during UER/2102 events will expand into any available open space. 
Obstructions are able to delay the expansion, but as more tissue is 
generated, it will exert a mounting pressure on materials. Currently, 
there is no upper limit to the MPa SCP-2102 is able to generate. 


Blunt force trauma that does not break SCP-2102's epidermis will 
not induce its anomalous properties, and the application of intense 
heat will cauterize any open lacerations, halting SCP-2102's 
anomalous wound healing. Tests have also indicated that 
SCP-2102's anomalous properties would in all probability not persist 
if all soft tissues were destroyed. 


Addendum 2102-A-01: Notes on recovery and preliminary 
containment 


SCP-2102 was recovered from the grounds of the Institute of 
Experimental Medicine CSAV in , Czechoslovakia on 
12/02/1972. Foundation agents embedded in the Czechoslovakian 
government had been aware of the existence of a GRU Division "P" 
project housed on the grounds of the institute since earlier that year, 
and intelligence reports indicated its focus to be on the development 
of practical applications for rapid cellular regeneration. Following the 
successful appropriation of classified documentation detailing 


SCP-2102 and its anomalous properties, a recovery operation was 
planned for January 1973. 


On 12/02/1972, at 07:14 UTC/GMT, a disturbance was reported at 
the Institute of Experimental Medicine CSAV, and a large number of 
civilians were seen fleeing the premises. A small Foundation 
reconnaissance force comprised of members from several Mobile 
Task Forces stationed in Eastern Europe was immediately 
dispatched to take stock of the situation before recovery was 
initiated. Preliminary containment was effected at 23:01 UTC/GMT 
on 12/02/1972, permanent containment on 12/13/1972.

your location? 

[13:38:23] Merrick:On the grounds,

it's wide open. No 
hostiles in sight.

Command:Take it anyway. 


Let IAS figure it 
out. Any sign of 
the anomaly yet? 


Merrick:Roger, will do. No 


sign of the 
anomaly so far, 
but it might be on 
minus 2 or lower. 
Ashton, start 
grabbing every 
scrap of paper 
you Can see.

peeled, Merrick. 


Merrick:Copy that, 


Command. 


Merrick:Almost done on

At 14:22:56 UTC/GMT, two F-4 Phantoms dropped their payload of 
M47A1 Napalm Incendiary bombs, successfully cauterizing the 
tissue generated by SCP-2102 during its UER/2102 event in 
progress. 


Addendum 2102-A-03: Translated excerpts from captured GRU 
Division "P" documentation 


The following selected diary entries were found amongst paperwork 
recovered from the Institute of Experimental Medicine CSAV. Their 
author could not definitively be determined. 


Date: 2 March 1972 

Finally arrived. | swear, the Tupolev was shaking more 
than the BMP | rode in during my service. The equipment 
crates were already there, and mostly intact, though two 
[REDACTED] chambers and a roentgen got mashed a 
bit on the train, and the mainframe looks rather unwell 
too. 

| met with the local staff | kept hearing such things about. 
Comrade doctor Csanyi, their head of research, has 
some genuinely compelling ideas about test subject 
suitability index based on basal metabolic rate, the Minsk 
experiments, and a couple other things, though that 
might have been the result of his barackpalinka. 


Date: 3 March 1972 
Turns out our and their three-phase plugs are somewhat 
different. | have a headache. 


Date: 5 March 1972 

Good news - me, Michail, Kuzma and their technician 
Prazdnovsky managed to swap the leads on everything, 
and fix up the broken kit with the spares he managed to 
dig out from somewhere. All of it works, too. 

Bad news - As soon as we plugged in all of it in for a test 
run, the fuses blew and we knocked out the power from 
half the institute. | would have thought they prepared 
things to our specifications. 

Ugly news - Looking through their fusing diagrams - it 
took the three of us half the day to sort it out. Whoever 
drew these up should be scrubbing the cellars of the 
Lubyanka. 


At least we will have time to go sightseeing. There is a 
pretty amazing castle ruin nearby, and since comrade 
Dr. Oravcova's sister works there, we can go fora 
private tour. Still, the project stagnating for reasons this 
stupid leaves a bitter aftertaste. 


Date: 19 April 1972 

It took a couple chats with the ONV board, the institute's 
director and one angry call to Moscow, but we had the 
power grid strengthened in record time. Take that, 
Wattley and Weber‘4. 

In other news, they brought in a couple promising 
candidates today. Not ideal by far, but we will have to 
work with what we have. Soon, we will see if the theories 
are correct. 


PS. The trip was a blast. Got Marusja a scarf she will 
love, too, and what is better, entire stock = about a kilo - 
of chewing gums - all it took was a roll of rubles to the 
shopkeeper. 


Date: 5 May 1972 

The first subject looked promising at first. When we 
introduced trauma, rapid clotting took place as expected, 
but the process aborted soon enough, and lesions 
developed. Turns out Michail mixed in far too much 
neodymium, the oaf. | swear this is the last straw - | told 


him if he fucks up again | will drag his ass to Moscow by 
his collar. 


Date: 28 June 1972
