, Tennessee. Foundation agents tracked the source of the 
disappearances to's Candy Shoppe, where all missing youth 
were found in the back room of the shop, half converted into various 
candies and covered in what appeared to be Pharaoh Cicada 
nymphs. The owner and manager of the shop was discovered 
huddling in the back corner in a fetal position. The man was 
interrogated, all instances of SCP-1517 and possible instances of 
SCP-1517-A were contained, and Class B amnestics were issued to 
witnesses and the shop owner. See Addendum-1517-Theta for the 
interview log. 


Addendum-1517-Theta: Attached is the abridged interview of 
Arthur — , owner of the shop where SCP-1517 was initially 
recovered. 


Interviewed: Arthur 


Interviewer: Agent Fredricks 


Foreword: Mr. _ was interviewed directly following the 
recovery of SCP-1517 at Site 23. 


<Begin Log> 


Fredricks: Please describe the incident in as much 
detail as you can. 


: Y-yes. | was just selling the new batch of 
gobstoppers to all the kids soon as the store opened. | 
turned my back to go into the storage room to get some 
more candy for the display, and then the screaming 
started. | ran back out to the store, andl... 1...(. begins 
hyperventilating) 


Fredricks: Please calm down. Were the children 
partially converted by this point? 


: (laughing) Converted? If by "converted" you mean 
they dropped dead with bugs and candy spilling out of 
their heads, then yeah, they were fuckin’ converted. 


Fredricks: (writing down details on a notepad) And 
where did you get this shipment of gobstoppers? 


: It was a new supplier. Cheaper than the rest. In fact, 
weirdly cheap. | should've known something was up... 
The name of the company was Sugarcomb Industries. 


Fredricks: Thank you. That will be all. 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Mr. — was administered Class B 
amnestics and released. No company named 
"Sugarcomb Industries" has been found. 


Addendum-1517-Psi: On 10/25/1944, experimentation with 
SCP-1517 on Subject D-40695 was allowed to progress to the point 
of total tissue conversion. The process was completed after 


approximately one hour, at which point the converted remains 
bonded in a vaguely humanoid shape and reanimated. Subject was 
capable of locomotion as basic motor controls, but did not show 
signs of sapience or sentience, and could apparently not vocalize. 
The animate remains appeared to exhibit personality traits not found 
in previous psychological examinations of D-40695, such as a lack 
of aggressive behavior. The subject remained animate regardless of 
any mass removed.2 Subject was incinerated at the end of testing. 


Footnotes 
1. Nymphs of a certain coloration appear to prefer certain tissues. 
2. All removed mass showed continued animation.

SCP-1518: The Bubble Fountain 


Item #: SCP-1518 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1518 is housed in a 
humidity-controlled vault within the underground sector of Site-11/7. 
The vault is 10m x 5m x 10m and constructed of concrete. 

SCP-1518 itself is contained in a 1.5m x 2m x 1.5m cylindrical shell 
constructed of industrial foam. The shell is 30cm thick and 
composed of 2 equally sized pieces divided by a vertical seam. Said 
seam is hinged to allow the shell to open for necessary rotation and 
maintenance due to the damage caused by SCP-1518-1. The vault 
contains 4 additional shells for the purposes of rotation; these shells 
are to be kept open when not in use for inspection. All 5 shells are 
suspended from the ceiling by the mechanical assembly used for 
rotation. 


Once every 63 minutes (this has been timed to directly follow an 
emission event), personnel monitoring SCP-1518 are to remotely 
rotate the shells. Afterwards, 1 D-Class personnel equipped with a 
foam spray canister is to enter the vault and repair any damage 
inflicted to the interior of the previous shell. Should SCP-1518 
breach its current shell, rotation and maintenance must occur 
immediately, and the schedule will be adjusted accordingly. Once 
every 24 hours, 2 Level 3 personnel are to enter the chamber and 
inspect the integrity of the shells. 


In light of Incident-SCP-1518-B3, the vault containing SCP-1518 is 
to be soundproofed, auditory surveillance to be disabled, and 
personnel used in maintenance are to be outfitted with ear 
protection. 


No water lines or systems may exist within 10m of the vault. 
SCP-1518 is not to be exposed to rain, and must not be transferred 
across bodies of water under any circumstances. 


Description: SCP-1518 is a 1.1m x 1.8m x 1.1m nonfunctional 
limestone fountain. It does not appear to possess any power source 
or external operational controls. The fountain is filled with a liquid 
superficially resembling water. This liquid does not evaporate and 
appears to be irremovable from the artifact; it is unknown what 
mechanism holds the substance in place, but it does not spill if the 
fountain is disturbed or even inverted. Any solid or liquid matter 
exposed to the liquid (other than SCP-1518 itself) will instantly 
sublimate or evaporate, respectively. 


Approximately every 315 seconds, SCP-1518 will emit 4-8 bubbles 
(SCP-1518-1). The bubbles are identical in dimensions, with a 
diameter of approximately 3cm. SCP-1518-1 behave largely 
identical to non-anomalous bubbles, but have not been observed to 
rupture in any circumstances. After emission, SCP-1518-1 will 
slowly float away from SCP-1518 until they come into contact with 
solid or liquid matter (other than SCP-1518 itself and the liquid 
contained within, as the bubbles appear to "bounce off" of these 
substances). No adverse effects have been observed from 
SCP-1518-1's interaction with gaseous matter. 


SCP-1518-1 have a mutually destructive reaction with solid matter. 
The exposed bubble will reduce in size until it ceases to exist and 
destroy an amount of solid matter equal to the volume lost (the mass 
and density of the substance is irrelevant to this reaction). No trace 
of the bubble or destroyed matter remains. 


SCP-1518-1 will assimilate all liquid matter they are exposed to and 
increase in size by an amount equal to the volume of the matter 
assimilated. Due to this, exposure to rain or atmosphere with 
significant humidity is typically disastrous. Additionally, the high 
liquid content of living biological matter generally results in the death 
of exposed organisms. Presently, it is believed that the contact of 
even 1 bubble with an oceanic body of water is likely to induce an 
XK End-of-the-World Scenario. 


SCP-1518 was discovered in [REDACTED], Bosnia, in 199 after the 
reports of a "man-eating fountain" began to circulate. The area in 
question was presently involved in systematic ethnic cleansing due 
to the ongoing Bosnian Civil War; a cleansing event causing 
fatalities had occurred only 10 days prior to the initial rumors 


regarding the artifact. The primary informant regarding these rumors 
was , amember of a "death squad" hired to carry out said 
cleansing event. The other 14 members of the squad were killed by 
anomalous behavior associated with SCP-1518. Shortly after the 
artifact was retrieved, light rain occurred in the area, causing 
significant damage and killing the recovery team. The secondary 
team was successful in retrieval, and the artifact was transferred to 
Site-117. committed suicide shortly after his initial contact 
with the Foundation, though his personal effects were recovered, 
among which was a journal. 


Foundation linguists have provided the most direct 
English translation of the recovered materials. 


/ /199 ,, Entry 


We received a message from today, requesting our 
services in [REDACTED]. | knew that the place had a 
severe infestation, and was honestly surprised we didn't 
hear from there sooner. What was even better, he was 
going to let us stay at his place for a few nights; the 
others practically cried when | told them. Just having a 
bed was uncommon enough, but having a full room with 
food, alcohol, and a bathroom? A little appreciation for 
our efforts is long overdue. 


/ /199 , Entry 


Arrival was simple, greeted us and took us to his 
estate. A beautiful place, with many things crafted out of 
marble, granite, sandstone. He treated us to lunch and 
told us where to find the "problem areas". He had a little 
place set up on his balcony with binoculars and a 
telescope: apparently he wanted to watch tomorrow. 
Tonight, we're preparing for sterilization. 


/ /199 , Entry 


Preliminary sterilization had no problems, males have 
been cleaned from the area, females and minors are 
held on the first floor of the estate. | don't know why the 


boss told us to keep the minors too, normally they'd be 
cleaned with the males. gave no complaint, he 
seems to be enjoying everything. 


/ /199 , Entry 


| knew there was something wrong with the boss's 
intentions. [DATA EXPUNGED] typical but never with... 
them. We threw them into the river afterwards, the others 
did, at least. | was still in shock after [DATA 
EXPUNGED}], so | wasn't participating. The ones that 
were too young to know how to swim sank, and the 
others we shot when they came near the shore. The 
boss approached me and told me to shoot one. | 
refused. He pointed his gun at me. | shot a corpse, 
hoping he would not notice, but he did. He hit me with 
the gun and called me pathetic. was laughing the 
whole time. The females were still in the house, | heard 
them screaming at us, distantly. The others went back in 
[DATA EXPUNGED] again, and sterilized them 
afterwards. 


/ /199 , Entry 


| didn't sleep. | glanced out the window several times, 
thinking I'd heard the minors again, or the females. | 
thought | heard water trickling somewhere too, in the 
walls. treated us to breakfast this morning, everyone 
was laughing and telling stories. The boss kept acting 
funny around me, treating me like | was fragile, everyone 
thought that was funny. | didn't really care. Things were 
rather uneventful until the water stopped working. 
ordered someone to fix it, but they wouldn't arrive until 
tomorrow. Thanks to that, everyone started drinking 
alcohol that night, and | retreated to my room to get away 
from them. 


/ /199 ,, Entry 


The thing came to me while | was asleep; looking back, | 
don't know how | even managed to sleep. | couldn't see 


what it was at first in the dark, but | saw it glisten. It was 
made out of water, but | knew it had eyes, and | knew 
they were staring at me. A minor, based on its height, 
judging from the face was impossible. It stared at me for 
several minutes, and | didn't move. Then, it started to 
float away, it didn't make any gesture but | knew | was 
supposed to follow. | followed it into the courtyard, and | 
saw them. The other members of our group were drifting 
there, in the air. More of those things were floating 
alongside them. They were encircling a limestone 
fountain that owned, and then | saw himself, or 
something that looked like him, protruding from the base 
of the fountain. He sank into the fountain and [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. Then, the others drifted into the fountain 
and [DATA EXPUNGED] as well, they didn't make a 
sound either; they were definitely awake, but they didn't 
say anything. The things kept staring at me, even as they 
drifted into the fountain as well, they never took their 
eyes off me. It must have been at least an hour before 
they all went in, and | didn't move at all in that time. 


Addendum [1518-001]: Incident Report SCP-1518-B3 


On //_ , at 5:05 AM, SCP-1518 began to emit noise inconsistent 
with previous behavior. This sound was only partially muffled by the 
foam surrounding SCP-1518, and was detected by the vault's 
auditory surveillance, exposing Agent to the phenomenon. 
subsequently opened the shell surrounding the artifact against 
protocol, and entered the chamber, wherein he attempted to "drink" 
from SCP-1518, resulting in his death. An additional 4 personnel 
were killed by this event, before agents with auditory protection were 
able to disable the surveillance and secure SCP-1518. The 
phenomenon ceased 3 hours later. 


The noise generated by SCP-1518 may be observed on recordings 
safely, and has been determined to consist of a looped song 
vocalized by children in Bosnian (the number, age, and gender of 
said individuals is currently under study). The cycles of the song are 
not identical; the lyrics are consistent but the exact vocalization 
fluctuates. 


A complete translated transcript of the song can be found here: 


Come catch the bubbles, 
So many, so many, 
Don't let them pop, 

The bubble is your life 


Is that you, mother, father? 
Don't cry, don't cry, 

Is that you, sister, brother? 
Isn't it beautiful? 


Now the bubbles fall, 
Down, down, down, down, 
Can't stop the bubbles, 


Popping, popping 


Come catch the bubbles, 
See them, mother, father? 
We are the bubbles, 

See us pop and die

SCP-1519: Renaissance Organism 


Item #: SCP-1519 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1519 are constructed for 
the purposes of testing and disposed of immediately after testing 
concludes. Blueprints for SCP-1519 are housed in a secure file at 
Site-19. Access to SCP-1519 blueprints is limited to researchers 
with a clearance of 3 or higher, as per testing schedule and outline. 


The SCP-1519 original is to be housed in a 30L tank filled with 
saline solution. The object is to be fed three times daily. 


Description: SCP-1519 is a small cylindrical biological system 
weighing on average .5 kg, constructed of human joints, tendons, 
fat, grey matter, nervous tissue, hippocampus, cartilage, teeth, 
veins, and a single heart. Composition of the object is relatively 
simple, consisting of only twenty (20) individual components, with 
the heart being the only organ in the system. 


Two openings on both ends of the object are lined in a circular 
pattern with teeth that move rhythmically in an open and close 
motion when disconnected from a feed. It is possible to feed 
biological material through either opening, with SCP-1519 producing 
waste material on the opposite side in a time relative to the quality of 
SCP-1519s digestive materials. 


Dissection of the object reveals no anomalous occurrence or 
materials. A single, unique organ fabricated from the parts of a 
stomach, intestine, and heart is internally connected to the heart of 
the object. This organ is artificially constructed and found in no other 
known fauna. 


SCP-1519 generates an electrical charge. Foundation 
reconstructions of SCP-1519 have a lifespan of approximately four 


years when constructed of human materials. Constructions using 
biological materials found in winged insects produce an SCP-1519 
with a lifespan of roughly four days. 


SCP-1519's mouths, or openings, can be fed into virtually any power 
source. The ‘lips’ on the ends of SCP-1519 reflexively form a 
conductive, vacuum sealed barrier to facilitate the flow of generated 
electricity from SCP-1519. SCP-1519 will detach from a feed only 
when SCP-1519 has lost a sufficient amount of power. SCP-1519 
cannot be reactivated after it has been fully drained of power. 


Testing reveals the parts belonging to one 


It is possible to duplicate SCP-1519 artificially with access to the 
appropriate human, or nonhuman tissue and a capable specialist. 
Construction of an instance of SCP-1519 takes an average of 10 
minutes with proper preparations. Blueprints for the object were 
found in the location of its discovery.
