Special Containment Procedures: [Revised on - - ]. SCP-085 
is to be contained in a single chalk-white bond drawing pad in a 
secure containment facility. Supervised contact with SCP-085 is 
unrestricted to all personnel with Level-2 access. All personnel 
coming into contact with SCP-085 are subject to searches and 
random psych analysis upon entering or leaving the containment 
area. 


Absolutely no paper or canvas media are allowed to exit SCP-085's 
containment room: any paper trash must be disposed of by 
incineration after careful inspection. Paper and art supplies are to be 
brought in only by authorized personnel. In case of fire, flames are 
smothered using a rapid atmospheric-replacement and CO2- 
dumping system. Personnel are advised to quickly secure an 
oxygen mask and tank from the wall at the first sign of smoke or fire 
to prevent asphyxiation, as this procedure cannot be halted until all 
fires are suppressed. 


Description: SCP-085 is the result of an experiment conducted 
between SCP-067 and SCP-914. Using SCP-067, Test 
Subject-1101F drew a single female figure, about 15 cm (6 in) in 
height and 3.8 cm (1.5 in) wide, in summer dress with long hair 
pulled back into a ponytail, with the name "Cassandra" written 
underneath. Dr. [EXPUNGED] proposed using SCP-914 on various 
settings on images created by SCP-067: Using the [Fine] setting, the 
‘Cassandra’ sketch was transmuted into her present form: a sentient 
black-and white-animated young woman drawn in clean strokes. 
Further attempts to duplicate this result have been unsuccessful. 


SCP-085 prefers to be called 'Cassy.' She is completely sentient 
and, as of - -  , aware of her 2D form and her limitations in a 


three-dimensional world. Although her voice is inaudible, she has 
learned to communicate with SCP Foundation personnel through 
sign language and writing. SCP-085 may be communicated with by 
writing text on the paper she exists on. Personnel report that she is 
amicable and motivated, albeit lonely. 


SCP-085 can interact with any drawn object on the same page as if 
it were real. For example, she is able to wear drawn clothing, drive 
sketched cars, and drink painted beverages. Except for animals and 
people, any drawn object becomes animated when in contact with 
SCP-085, but immediately ceases and holds position once out of 
contact. Artwork initially depicted as in motion such as ocean waves 
and swaying trees animate to an equilibrium state and stay at rest 
until acted upon by SCP-085. 


SCP-085 has also demonstrated the ability to transfer from one 
sheet or image to another, as long as the two are flush. In the event 
SCP-085 enters a picture that does not support drawn objects (such 
as a repeating pattern), the picture is converted to a background 
image. SCP-085 perceives the picture as an endless plane of the 
image drawn upon it. 


At the present time, SCP-085 can only exist upon paper or canvas 
surfaces: SCP-085 cannot transfer onto photos, cardboard, glass, or 
parchment. When entering other pieces of art, SCP-085 takes on 
the artistic style of her new environment (whether it be a comic 
book, an oil painting, watercolor, or charcoal sketching). Note: in 
comic form, her voice is visible as thought and voice bubbles around 
her head in typical comic fashion, and as she moves between 
panels the perspective and her relative size are altered 
appropriately. 


Document #085-1: Introduction to several prints authored by MC 
Escher. 


Researcher: Cassandra, this is known as "Ascending 
and Descending". What do you think? 

(At this point, SCP-085 walks a few times around the 
staircase) 

SCP-085: It's pretty, | guess. Would make a neat 


exercise track. 

Researcher: You see nothing inconsistent with the 
staircase? 

SCP-085: No, as far as | can tell it just loops around 
down/up all the time. Why don't more staircases do that? 
It's pretty neat. 


After this session, SCP-085 requested several 'impossible' objects in 
her own environment. These requests are pending O5 review. 


Document #085-2: Incident 085-A 


Priorto - - ,SCP-085 was unaware of its status as a 2- 
Dimensional object in a 3-Dimensional world: prior security protocols 
required that SCP-085 be kept unaware of its true nature in order to 
prevent psychological distress: discrepancies with the perceived 
"real world" were presented as dreams or nightmares, and an effort 
was made to present SCP-085 with a scenario in which it was the 
last surviving human in a post-apocalyptic world, searching for 
survivors. 


The deception was quickly broken following an incident where an 
SCP Foundation researcher accidentally brought a hard copy of 
SCP-085's Special Containment Procedures Report into the 
containment facility and allowed it to contact the artifact's current 
location. SCP-085 transferred onto the document before the 
researcher could remove it, and was immediately made aware of its 
true nature. 


Because of the containment breach, several researchers advocated 
immediate destruction of the artifact. The decision was appealed to 
the O5-Council, which, ina to decision, advocated for SCP-085's 
continued existence. 


Since the revelation of her true nature, observers have noted that 
SCP-085 has begun to show signs of clinical depression. 
Psychotherapy has been proposed, but the nature of the artifact's 
state of existence may make it difficult. 


Some success has been had by providing SCP-085 tangible means 


to distract herself from her condition. In addition to the 
aforementioned optical illusions, SCP-085 expressed particular 
interest in a set of technical drawings for a 1964 Ford Mustang 
Convertible, transferring the parts one by one to a more naturalistic 
artwork, then assembling the vehicle by hand over the period of a 
year—gasoline being provided through a Norman Rockwell print of a 
gas station attendant. 


Requests for further diversions of this nature are pending O5-level 
review and approval.

SCP-086: The Office of Dr. [REDACTED] 


Item #: SCP-086 
Object Class: Safe Euclid Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-086 is contained within 
Office A-19, at Bio-Research Station 71. The secretarial post outside 
the door is to be staffed by 1 (one) armed guard. All components of 
SCP-086 are to be kept within 6 (six) meters of each other. 


SCP-086-1 is to be kept on the office desk, with a single connection 
to the telephone at the secretary's post. All communications 
between SCP-086 and personnel are to be recorded, transcribed, 
and archived. 


Every 6 (six) days, SCP-086-2 is to be used to sharpen 4 (four) 
standard commercially-purchased 16 (sixteen)-cm HB pencils, 
continuing until at least 95% (ninety-five) of the mass of each pencil 
has been converted into pencil shavings. SCP-086-2 is not to be 
emptied, even if personnel judge that it has become clogged; in 
such an eventuality, personnel are to wait 10 (ten) minutes, and then 
resume sharpening. 


Every 7 (seven) days, SCP-086-3 is to be filled with a block of 200 
(two hundred) standard commercially-purchased staples. 


Every 20 (twenty) days, SCP-086-4 is to be filled with 15 (fifteen) 
sheets of standard commercially-purchased microfilm blank 
cellulose acetate film, produced onsite. 


SCP-086-5 is to be drained of waste matter whenever it fills more 
than halfway; the waste matter is to be incinerated. 


All reading material requested by SCP-086 must be approved by 
Site Command. All research proposals made by SCP-086 must be 
approved by two O5-level personnel. 


Description: SCP-086 is a collective sessile organism whose 
component parts resemble items of office equipment from 1978, and 
which contains a consciousness claiming to be that of former 
Foundation administrator Dr. [REDACTED] (1907-1978). Its 8 (eight) 
components are: a rotary telephone (SCP-086-1), a wall-mounted 
pencil sharpener (SCP-086-2), a desk stapler (SCP-086-3), a 
microfiche reader (SCP-086-4), a water cooler (SCP-086-5), a filing 
cabinet (SCP-086-6), a scientific calculator (GCP-086-7), and a slide 
rule (SCP-086-8). No physical connection or electromagnetic 
transmission between any of these components has been detected. 


Each component of SCP-086 is composed of biological material, 
contained within a carapace made of varying amounts of chitin, 
keratin, and calcium carbonate, as well as trace amounts of nylon, 
rayon, and polyester. DNA analysis reveals that the tissues 
contained within SCP-086 are partially of human origin, and [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-086-1 contains a large mass of neural tissue which functions 
as a brain, despite several conformational and anatomical 
irregularities; this brain hosts the majority of SCP-086's 
consciousness. 


SCP-086-1 also contains an ear-equivalent (tympanum, ossicles, 
etc.) in the receiver's mouthpiece, allowing SCP-086 to hear. 
SCP-086 is able to speak (in an exact match of Dr. [REDACTED]'s 
voice and accent) via the earpiece, although radiological and 
ultrasound examination have not revealed any laryngeal structures. 
SCP-086-1 is also capable of ringing; however, SCP-086 has stated 
that ringing "gives (it) a headache"; consequently, the only 
circumstances under which it rings are when awakening from sleep 
(at which point it rings twice in rapid succession) and when in 
distress (at which point it rings "SOS" in Morse code). 


SCP-086-2, -3, and -4 function as food-intake organs: SCP-086-2 
consumes pencil shavings, SCP-086-3 consumes staples, and 
SCP-086-4 consumes microfilm. SCP-086-5 functions as a 
combination bladder-and-bowel equivalent, storing metabolic 
wastes. 


SCP-086-6 contains several organs which appear to combine 


sensory and manipulatory functions; SCP-086 has proven capable 
of reading printed material and physically manipulating small items 
(for instance, turning pages and alphabetizing documents), when 
they are placed within SCP-086-6. At SCP-086's request, it is 
regularly provided with non-classified reading material and non- 
classified clerical work. 


The biological functions of SCP-086-7 and -8 have not been 
determined; however, SCP-086 has stated that it experiences 
significant discomfort and confusion when they are removed from its 
vicinity, and it is therefore speculated that they have some role in its 
cognition. Although SCP-086-7 accepts input, its output seems to be 
random glyphs and LED 'noise’. 


SCP-086 has demonstrated that it has full access to Dr. 
[REDACTED]'s memories, and all tests indicate a 100% match with 
pre-existing psychological profiles of Dr. [REDACTED]. However, 
SCP-086 has pointed out that there is no way to confirm that it 
actually thinks of itself as Dr. [REDACTED], and that it may be an 
alien intelligence expertly posing as Dr. [REDACTED], or a "sleeper" 
persona which sincerely believes itself to be Dr. [REDACTED]. 


Acquisition Log: 


SCP-086 is presumed to have been created on June 12, 1978, 
when Dr. [REDACTED] was presumed killed by the PN-class events 
resulting from the decommissioning of SCP- _. On June 20, 1978, 
Dr. [REDACTED]'s office was being emptied by maintenance 
personnel so that it could be assigned to his successor. At this point, 
SCP-086-1 began ringing repeatedly, despite not being connected 
to a telephone jack. Maintenance personnel notified level-3 
operatives, who answered SCP-086-1. 


During the subsequent conversation, SCP-086 identified itself as Dr. 
[REDACTED], and then ordered level-3 personnel to revoke its 
security clearance, and to make a full report of its existence and 
properties to O5-level personnel. 


Dr. [REDACTED] was given a posthumous commendation for 
meritorious conduct in either reporting himself as an SCP, or in 
influencing the anomalous entity emulating his behavior into doing 


SO. 


NOTE: SCP-086 was originally classified as ‘Safe’, but it has stated 
that because it is a sapient entity with anomalous biology and 
metabolism, and with access to the full memories of an SCP 
Foundation administrator who previously had level-4 security 
clearance, it should be classified as "Euclid". 


NOTE: Although we appreciate SCP-086's conscientiousness, there 
is at this time no pressing reason to classify it as "Euclid". If 
circumstances change, we'll reconsider. - O5-

SCP-087: The Stairwell 


Item #: SCP-087 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-087 is located on the 
campus of [REDACTED]. The doorway leading to SCP-087 is 
constructed of reinforced steel with an electro-release lock 
mechanism. It has been disguised to resemble a janitorial closet 
consistent with the design of the building. The lock mechanism on 
the doorknob will not release unless volts are applied in 
conjunction with counter-clockwise rotation of the key. The inside of 
the door is lined with 6 centimeters of industrial foam padding. 


Due to the results of the final exploration (see Document 087-IV), no 
personnel are permitted access to SCP-087. 


Description: SCP-087 is an unlit platform staircase. Stairs descend 
on a 38 degree angle for 13 steps before reaching a semicircular 
platform of approximately 3 meters in diameter. Descent direction 
rotates 180 degrees at each platform. The design of SCP-087 limits 
subjects to a visual range of approximately 1.5 flights. A light source 
is required for any subjects exploring SCP-087, as there are no 
lighting fixtures or windows present. Lighting sources brighter than 
75 watts have shown to be ineffective, as SCP-087 seems to absorb 
excess light. 


Subjects report and audio recordings confirm the distressed 
vocalizations from what is presumed to be a child between the ages 
of and . The source of the distress calls is estimated to be located 
approximately 200 meters below the initial platform. However, any 
attempts to descend the staircase have failed to bring subjects 
closer to the source. The depth of descent calculated from 
Exploration IV, the longest exploration, is shown to be far beyond 
both the possible structure of both the building and geological 
surroundings. At this time, it is unknown if SCP-087 has an 


endpoint. 


SCP-087 has undergone four video recorded explorations by Class- 
D personnel. Each subject conducting an exploration has 
encountered SCP-087-1, which appears as a face with no visible 
pupils, nostrils, or mouth. The nature of SCP-087-1 is entirely 
unclear, but it has been determined that it is not the source of the 
pleading. Subjects exhibit feelings of intense paranoia and fear 
when faced with SCP-087-1, but it is undetermined whether said 
feelings are abnormal or simply natural reactions. 


Addendum: 

Over a period of 2 weeks following Exploration IV, several members 
of the staff and students from the [REDACTED] campus reported 
knocking at a variable rate of 1-2 seconds per knock coming from 
the interior of SCP-087. The door leading to SCP-087 has been 
fitted with 6 centimeter thick industrial padding. All reports of 
knocking have ceased. 


Authorized personnel may refer to documents 087-! through 087-IV 
for transcripts of Explorations | - IV.
