formations, and to treat inflammation. Subject 
passed medical examination roughly a day 
after full transformation and has been 
observed to function normally. SCP-2479-AX 
was later contained in a temporary 
containment cell. 


Note: Based on previous knowledge of 
SCP-2479-A-6, SCP-2479-A-13 and 
SCP-2479-A-16, SCP-2479-AX can now 
theoretically ‘hunt’ all known SCP-2479-A 
instances, placing it at the top of SCP-2479's 
food chain. Thorough examination of 
SCP-2479-AX's possible applications can now 
commence. - Dr.

Focus of Experimentation: Evaluating Possible Apex 
Consumer Applications 


Test A- Date / / 

Subject: SCP-2479-AX, Researcher 
Procedure: Specimen was introduced to 
Researcher (not during hunting hours). 
Results: Specimen engaged in one-ended 
conversation, as observed in all other 
SCP-2479-A instances. SCP-2479-AX 
encouraged Researcher to visit three (3) 
rides; SCP-2479-6, SCP-2479-13 and 
SCP-2479-16. Specimen did not respond to 
questions. 

Postliminary: SCP-2479-AX was recontained. 


Test B - Date / / 

Subject: SCP-2479-AX, SCP-2479-A-4 
Procedure: Specimen was introduced to 
SCP-2479-A-4 (not during hunting hours). 
Results: SCP-2479-AX engaged in one-ended 
conversation as expected. SCP-2479-A-4 did 
not vocalise at all and instead stared at 


SCP-2479-AxX in silence for the entire duration 
of the forty (40) minute interaction. 
Postliminary: Both instances were 
recontained. 


Note: So far, no SCP-2479-A instance has 
failed to make conversation with another 
outside of observed hunting times. It is 
possible that SCP-2479-A do not recognise 
SCP-2479-AX as one of them or as a human, 
and therefore have no capacity for interaction. 
- Dr. 


Test C - Date / / 

Subject: SCP-2479-AX 

Procedure: Specimen permitted monitored 
access into SCP-2479's active zone (not 
during hunting hours). 

Results: Specimen was not observed to make 
any attempt to approach or claim ‘territory’. 
Instead, SCP-2479-AX roamed with no 
apparent direction’ in areas of low SCP-2479- 
A concentration. Specimen was observed to 
be attempting to hide: SCP-2479-AX seemed 
to favour areas of high or dense shrubbery as 
a means of concealing itself, a behaviour with 
no apparent purpose. The specimen was 
observed to defecate considerably more 
frequently than other SCP-2479-A instances. 
Postliminary: Specimen was recaptured and 
contained after three (3) hours of inactivity. 


Test D- Date / / 

Subject: SCP-2479-AX 

Procedure: Specimen permitted monitored 
access into SCP-2479's active zone (during 
hunting hours). 

Results: Specimen began to progress towards 
SCP-2479-1 (territory of SCP-2479-A-1, C. a. 
hircus) at a speed of roughly fourteen (14) 


miles per hour. On arrival, specimen [DATA 
EXPUNGED}, resulting in the deaths of all but 
three (3) of the eight (8) SCP-2479-A-1 
instances present. SCP-2479-AX retrieved 
only two (2) carcasses, carried them to where 
it had been first released fifteen (15) minutes 
prior and proceeded to both consume and 
[DATA EXPUNGED] for roughly an hour. 
Postliminary: Specimen was recaptured and 
contained safely after experiment. SCP-2479-1 
remains, both from SCP-2479-AX and from 
SCP-2479-1's vicinity, were disposed of. 


Test E-Date / / 

Subject: SCP-2479-AX 

Procedure: Specimen permitted monitored 
access into SCP-2479's active zone (during 
hunting hours) at a different location. The 
closest ride to this location, SCP-2479-4, was 
vacated of all but one (1) SCP-2479-A-4 (A. 
platyrhynchos) instance. 

Results: Specimen began to progress towards 
SCP-2479-4 and [DATA EXPUNGED], as 
before, resulting in the death of the only 
present SCP-2479-A-4 instance. SCP-2479- 
AX proceeded to consume and [DATA 
EXPUNGED] the carcass that it had 
appropriated. 

Postliminary: Specimen was recaptured and 
contained safely after experiment. SCP-2479-4 
remains were disposed of. 


Note: SCP-2479-AX seems to know the 
locations of SCP-2479's rides and selects the 
closest territory during hunting. If it continues 
to hunt in this indiscriminate manner we may 
be able to selectively release the instance as a 
recontainment device in the event of future 
containment breaches, but further 
experimentation is required to fully understand 


SCP-2479-AX's hunting patterns. - Dr.

Subject: SCP-2479-AX 

Procedure: [DATA EXPUNGED] 
Results: [DATA EXPUNGED] 
Postliminary: See Incident Log 2479/2. 


+ Incident Log 2479/2 


On / / , during experimentation on 
SCP-2479-AX, all instances of SCP-2479-A-13 
spontaneously instigated a mass-scale hunting 
event and near-site-wide containment breach, 
irrespective from any previously observed 
hunting times. The 'pack' of SCP-2479-A-13 
instances separated into two (2) groups of 
seven (7) and attacked both SCP-2479-7 and 
SCP-2479-11. MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed 
Fox") were called immediately and SCP-2479- 
AX was left unmonitored for more than half an 
hour in the ensuing containment breach 
resolution protocols. 


Recorded footage from numerous nearby 
security cameras observed SCP-2479-AX 
approach SCP-2479-6 before attacking, 
subduing and incapacitating three (3) female 
instances of SCP-2479-A-6, after which [DATA 
EXPUNGED] until SCP-2479-AX was 
relocated and recontained. The three (3) 
relevant SCP-2479-A-3 instances were also 
contained and monitored over the course of 
the seven (7) following weeks. 


Post-incident prenatal scans confirmed [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


All three (8) relevant SCP-2479-A-6 instances 
have been kept in containment for study. 


Note: Any and all experimentation involving 
SCP-2479-AX has been countermanded until 
further notice. - Site Director 


Footnotes 

1. SeeAddendum 2479bfor an example of censored advertisements. 
2. Several written instances of this title outside of SCP-2479 itself 
read differently for unknown reasons. 

3. For example, an SCP-2479-A instance present outside 
SCP-2479-4 may appear as a duck. 

4. Actions that are considered "irritating" include shouting, standing 
in front of an instance or persistently asking questions. 

5. At time of recovery, malnutrition was common among SCP-2479- 
A instances. This is most likely due to a previously-observed 
persistent unwillingness to leave their territory when no food is 
present. 

6. Multi-numerical designations have been implemented so as not to 
assume cross-exposed instances' territories. 

7. A report from Assistant Researcher describes SCP-2479- 
AX's movements as "aimless, as if mimicking those of a stray animal 
or lost child".

SCP-2480: An Unfinished Ritual 


Item #: SCP-2480 
Object Class: Safe Keter Presumed Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: Dimensional Research Site-13 
was constructed adjacent to Bodfel Manor, location of the SCP-2480 
anomaly. Civilians are to be prevented from accessing the Bodfel 
Estate through non-violent means. Class A, B, and C amnestics may 
be used at the discretion of Field Agents. Foundation personnel 
have been integrated with the community surrounding SCP-2480 as 
quarantine or relocation of inhabitants has been deemed unfeasible. 
Considered the best source of information for SCP-2480 anomalies, 
agents are to make local inquiries and investigate any rumors, 
reports, or claims of an anomalous nature. Mobile Task Force 
Epsilon-6 ("Village Idiots") have infiltrated the community and are to 
remain on the lookout for anomalous manifestations. Mobile Task 
Force Psi-9 ("Abyss Gazers") is to remain on standby in case of an 
Emanation Event. The use of force has been authorized and 
anomalous manifestations are to be destroyed without prejudice. 


Description: SCP-2480 is speculated to be a dimensional anomaly 
located in , Massachusetts, a coastal and heavily forested town 
with just over 12,000 9,000 residents. SCP-2480 was allegedly 
created by accident when agents from the Global Occult Coalition 
interrupted a ritual on November 28, 1952. While the true purpose of 
this ritual remains unknown to date, the Foundation has concluded 
the anomaly to be the result of the inept and heavy-handed 
approach of GOC operatives. 


SCP-2480 appears to be centered around Bodfel Manor, home of 
the late Cornelius P. Bodfel Ill (b. 1866 - d. 1952)! - millionaire 
industrialist with an acute interest in the occult. Prior to his death, 
Bodfel was the leader of a secret society known as Adytum's Wake. 
Dismissed by the Foundation in 1932 as simply being a "decadent 
upper-class social club", their anomalous capabilities were not 


recognized until the November 28, 1952 incident. 


Due to the critical failure of their mission, there were no surviving 
GOC operatives to be properly interrogated. However, documents 
were subsequently recovered from a GOC safe house located in 

. It appears that the GOC attempted to destroy these 
documents prior to their mission. A torn report (lower half missing) 
with a photograph attached via paperclip was discovered in the back 
of a fireplace along with significant ash. It is assumed that all other 
documents had been incinerated. 


+ Access KTE-0452-Black 


Threat ID: KTE-0452-Black - "Grand Karcist 
lon"3 


Authorized Response Level: 4 (Severe 
Threat); liquidation pending 


Description: KTE-0452-Black (hereafter 
referred to as "Subject") is a humanoid threat 
entity of variable appearance. Subject most 
often appears in priestly vestments and 
carrying a staff. Subject is able to disappear 
and reappear at will, shape and manipulate 
organic material, bend reality (See Document 
37B4), and is hypothesized to be biologically 
immortal. While subject is classified as 
humanoid, they are not believed to be human 
(whether they ever were is still debatable). 


Psychological profile indicates malignant 
narcissism and megalomania. Subject is 
believed to have aided in the creation of 
"Sarkic Cults" throughout much of the world. 
See On Sarkicism for further details.9 


It is theorized has been verified that GOC operatives intended to 
assassinate Pol-93. As Pol-93 was not discovered among the dead, 
it can be surmised that the GOC did not achieve their primary goal. 
The Foundation became aware of SCP-2480 after intercepting and 


decoding a GOC distress broadcast, promptly sending an 
investigative team. Thirty-six corpses were found scattered 
throughout the estate; eight of which were later identified as GOC 
operatives. All but fiveS displayed anomalous cause of death such 
as implosion, disintegration, and fatal physical reconfiguration. 


SCP-2480 is hypothesized to be a dimensional anomaly that cannot 
be directly perceived. This cognitohazardous effect interferes with 
perception in such a way that only through the use of perception 
altering chemicals and / or the direct and sustained observation of 
its effects on local reality it may be detected. Reality alterations were 
subtle and restricted to Bodfel Manor - manifesting as impossible 
interior dimensions (interior larger than exterior would suggest, non- 
Euclidian architecture, and additional rooms and corridors that did 
not previously exist). 


SCP-2480 has been classified as safe. 


Addendum: The investigation of Bodfel Manor uncovered 
disconcerting evidence with regards to Cornelius P. Bodfel III and 
the organization known as "Adytum's Wake". Based on several 
meticulously kept journals and a collection of photographs, Bodfel 
and his followers would frequently host orgies that included rape, 
pedophilia, ritual human sacrifice, and cannibalism. Discovered 
within the journals were sermon notes and guest lists whose names 
have included affluent families, respected politicians, leaders of 
industry, and even those of religious authority. 


Among Bodfel's belongings was a handwritten tome containing 
religious scripture; his journals frequently referenced this book as 
the Valkzaron. The writing system has yet to be deciphered. 


The grand hall contains a marble statue depicting an entity with a 
leonine head and vermiform body. This statue was later studied by 
Dr. Judith Low, Senior Adviser at the Department of History - 
Religious Gol Threat Analysis, and confirmed to be a representation 
of the Demiurge among certain Gnostic sects. The Demiurge (also 
known as "Yaldabaoth", "Saklas", or "Samael") has no history of 
being presented with reverence and is believed to be a figure of 
worship for "Adytum's Wake". At the base of the statue, written in 
Greek, are the words: 


ETIOULIO Eival TO VETPO OAWV TWV TIPAYLOTwV . Na un 
eloal SevEvoc OE LIA NIK) TPOGSEON. Kave OTTWC 
emiOupEic, o€ OTTOIOV ETTIBULEIC. 


"Desire is the measure of all things. Be unbound from 
moral tethers. Do as you will, to whom you will." 


In mid 1988, Simon Oswalt, Director of Site-13, failed to send a 
biannual report on the state of SCP-2480 (which had no reported 
changes since its original containment). The Foundation, believing it 
to be a bureaucratic error, attempted to contact Site-13 directly 
without response. Initially, Agent Samuel Roe and Agent Sarah 
Valentine were sent to investigate but neither agent has since made 
contact, and their fate remains unknown at this time. 


Mobile Task Force Epsilon-6 ("Village idiots")” was dispatched to 

in order to reestablish contact with Site-13 and properly secure 
SCP-2480. Members of MTF Epsilon-6 were able to successfully 
integrate themselves into the community as new residents or 
tourists.

Superfluous data expunged for the sake of brevity - 
listing logs relevant to the SCP-2480 anomaly. 


Mission Log, Agent Myron Goldstein: Day 6 


Cliche as it sounds, I've been starting to detect 
a certain wrongness here. It isn't anything that 
| can actually pinpoint to. In another place I'd 
probably dismiss the thought immediately. Last 
night | saw a man mowing his lawn at 
midnight. Strange behavior but not itself an 
anomaly. Maybe just eccentric. This morning | 
noticed a man staring me down at the fish 
market - his eyes never blinked once. 


There's a smell too. Not fish, not the sea; 
subtle but pungent all the same. 


Mission Log, Agent Adam Grayson: Day 11 


I'm not comfortable in this hotel one bit. You 
can hear people running about at all hours of 
the night. Can't get any sleep - keep checking 
the damn peephole. Last night, decided to 
check it one last time before heading to bed. 
Saw a face, couldn't tell if it was a man or 
woman, but as soon as | looked they started to 
slam their head against the door. Over and 
over. 


Over and over. They just wouldn't stop. 
Mission Log, Agent Emma Lightbody: Day 16 


| don't know what Command is waiting for. Our 
target is Bodfel Estate but they've stayed their 
hand so far; maybe know something we don't. 


A nervous looking man approached me on the 
street. Reeked of whisky but his tone was 
sincere - asked me if | was a Fed. Lied, said | 
was, and was able to get some info. 


Talked about monsters in the fog. "Screaming 
their secrets" he said. No idea what he meant 
by it. 


Said it's been like this for over forty years. 


They found him dead the very next day. Locals 
claimed he drowned. This town is full of liars. 


Mission Log, Agent Frank Giuseppe: Day 20 


Fog is thick here. Always raining. Even the 
trees look sad. Like they're stuck in Autumn or 
something. Too much gray, not enough green. 
The locals don't talk much. Seem to keep to 
themselves. Strange for a supposed vacation 
destination. The majority of folks don't seem to 


ever smile. Look damn tired too. Some even 
sickly.
