Description: SCP-1387 is a very large avian creature similar in 
appearance to a seagull, measuring approximately 20m in length, 
with a wingspan of approximately 25m. SCP-1387 lacks a heart, 
respiratory system, or digestive system, as its body cavity instead 
contains a space closely resembling the cabin of a passenger 
aircraft. This space is 2.5m x 15m in area, with exactly 40 seats and 
20 windows (though none are visible from the outside). On the sides 
of SCP-1387's body are several rigid flaps of skin which act as 
entrance points to the interior. SCP-1387 does not require nutrition, 
but recovers from injury quite slowly, with major injuries rendering 
the entity comatose for weeks. 


Once every 3 to 5 months SCP-1387 will land at the nearest airport 
to its current location and initiate its primary effect. SCP-1387 will 
produce a perceptual effect, causing people to observe! the 
creature as a regional passenger aircraft. During this state, a group 
of between twenty-three (23) and thirty-four (34) people in the airport 


(designated SCP-1387-1) will attempt to move towards SCP-1387 
and enter its interior. Testing has shown that it is not possible to 
prevent instances of SCP-1387-1 from entering SCP-1387's interior, 
as instances have invariably been able to find other routes when 
one is blocked. Attempts to physically restrain instances have 
similarly failed, as instances have been able to escape any restraint. 


Once all instances of SCP-1387-1 have entered its interior, 
SCP-1387 will take off and fly until it next exhibits its primary effect. 
Thus far, no instances of SCP-1387-1 have been located after this 
event One (1) instance of SCP-1387-1 has been recovered, and is 
being held in Site-101. See Addenda. 


Current containment procedures have prevented SCP-1387 from 
manifesting any of its properties. However, the entity is extremely 
hostile and actively attempts to breach containment. As of / /200, 
SCP-1387 is classified as Euclid. 


Addendum 1: On / /200, an instance of SCP-1387-1 (identified 
as Johnathan ) was recovered in [REDACTED] and transported 
to Site-101. The following interview was conducted upon arrival. 


Interviewed: SCP-1387-1 (Johnathan ) 
Interviewer: Dr. O 

<Begin Log> 

Dr.O : Please state your name for the interview. 


SCP-1387-1: Johnathan 


Dr.O :Do you remember anything about the 
of 199 ? 


SCP-1387-1: Yeah, it rings a bell. Um, | remember going 
to the airport. | was flying somewhere, | can't remember 
where exactly. | boarded the plane, and waited for, uh, 
the plane to takeoff. 


Dr.O : Do you know what happened next? 


SCP-1387-1: (pauses) We took off. | was sitting next to 
this gal, | remember that she had these really beautiful 
green eyes. | looked out my window, and it was a really 
nice, sunny day outside. And then, | remember seeing a 
bird. There was a whole flock of them, flying in this blob 
shaped swarm. And | looked back at the cabin, there 
were the other passengers. And we were on the plane... 


(SCP-1387-1 appears very distressed.) 
Dr.O_ : You're doing well. Can you remember past that? 


SCP-1387-1: One moment, | see her sitting next to me. 
And then, in the blink of an eye, she was gone. Not just 
her, but everyone on the plane, gone. And in their place, 
all | could see was birds. They filled the cabin, it was 
almost surreal. Then | couldn't see anything. 


Dr. O_ : And after that? 


SCP-1387-1: Nothing. The next thing | knew, | was ona 
bench back at the airport. | thought it was all a dream. | 
was all dazed, and then | started walking. | started 
getting really dizzy, then eventually a guard found me. 
He looked at me and asked if | was drunk. | told him | 
didn't know what was happening. | think | blacked out 
there. When | woke up, | was in a police station, and 
then you guys took me down here. 


Dr.O :OK, | believe we are done here. Is there 
anything you'd like to add? 


SCP-1387-1: | think | saw her. 
Dr.O : Who? 


SCP-1387-1: While | was walking down here, she flew 
by that window in the hall. She was beautiful, like a 
raven. | knew it was her, because of her eyes. | hope | 
can see her soon. 


<End Log> 


Addendum 2: On / /200, three months after coming into 
Foundation custody, the sole recovered instance of SCP-1387-1 


was reported missing from his cell. A search of Site-101 found no 
trace of the subject.

SCP-1388: One Size Fits All Superoos® 


Item #: SCP-1388 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Specimens of SCP-1388 are to 
be stored in opaque 20cm small item containers. When being 
studied, D-Class personnel should be the only personnel to directly 
observe and interact with the garments. Class C amnesiacs appear 
sufficient to overcome any compulsive effects of the item if limited to 
12 hours of exposure, Class B from 12 to 16 hours of exposure, and 
Class A over 16 continuous hours of exposure. 


All known specimens of SCP-1388 are currently in Small Item 
storage at Sector-25. 


Description: SCP-1388 are a collection of brief-style underwear 
with designs related to various unlicensed superheroes, done ina 
comic-book style. The words "SUPER POWERS" are stitched into 
the waistband. The label on the inside rear of the garment reads 
"One Size Fits All Superoos®." Currently two identical soecimens 
are in Foundation custody. 


SCP-1388 specimens exhibit three key phenomena. The first is a 
space-altering effect whereby the waistband can stretch to 
accommodate any person who attempts to wear them. There is no 
apparent stress or damage done to the garment. 


The second is a mind-altering effect whereby any person wearing 
the underwear believes themselves to truly be a superhero, capable 
of superhuman strength, heightened senses and unassisted flight. 
The effect manifests itself fully over a period of roughly 12 hours, 
after which all test subjects have grown increasingly agitated and 
distraught. Beyond 16 hours, the wearer is at high risk of self- 
mutilation and accidental death, and Class C amnesiacs are no 
longer effective; the wearer should be first sedated, the garment 


removed, and a Class A amnesiac administered. 


No physical changes or new abilities have been observed despite 
the subject's insistence as to their new powers; blood and urine 
samples indicate significantly increased amounts of dopamine and 
serotonin, seeming to increase with a rate proportional to what the 
subject calls "superpowers". 


The third is a compulsive effect whereby any person who views the 
garment will wish to wear it. All subjects, when questioned, have 
given responses related to nostalgia and/or the thrill of being a child 
again. 


Addendum: The first specimen of SCP-1388 was remanded to 
Foundation custody June 08, 199 by London authorities following 
what appeared to be a rash of suicides by county morgue workers. 

() people in total had jumped to their death before a forensic 
scientist noticed a morgue technician removing the underwear from 
a corpse and putting it on themselves. Suspecting sexual crimes, 
the scientist contacted the police, who, after the apparent suicide of 
the technician (who tried to stop a train by standing in front of it), 
contacted Foundation agents at Sector-25. 


Efforts to trace the line of suicides and workers back to incident zero 
were successful, but no living kin could be contacted. 


The second specimen was remanded to Foundation custody 
September 27, 200 in Manhattan, New York after a failed suicide 
attempt by a John Doe jumping off the 76th floor of Tower. 
Site-28 in SoHo picked up anomalous police chatter as authorities 
attempted to "talk down" a victim. Mobile Task Force Pi-1 ("City 
Slickers") was deployed, the victim was disabled by means of a fast- 
acting tranquilizer and the specimen secured. However, the victim 
never recovered from sedation and was taken off life support 
October 5, 200. 


It is presently unknown how many other SCP-1388 specimens exist. 
Reports of above-average suicide rates in a locale, especially in the 
forensics field, may indicate a new SCP-1388 specimen. 


2/1388 access may be granted by Level 3 staff at Sector-25.

SCP-1389: A Saint 


Item #: SCP-1389 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1389 is to be kept in a 
protective Plexiglas case at all times when not undergoing testing. 
The surface of the image is extremely delicate, and must therefore 
be handled exclusively by personnel specially trained in the handling 
and restoration of antique documents and works of art. If, for any 
reason the need arises for SCP-1389 to be moved while it is not 
contained in its protective case, it is to be held only by the edge or 
the back of the icon. 


No further tissue samples may be taken from SCP-1389 without 
explicit permission from the site director. 


Description: SCP-1389 is a gilded icon of a Christian saint 
(presumably Mary Magdalene), rendered in the Russian Orthodox 
tradition. The subject of the depiction has an expression of great 
distress, and its image is raised approximately one millimeter from 
the background of the icon. 


The icon was retrieved from an Orthodox monastery near 
[REDACTED], Russia. SCP-1389's anomalous properties went 
unnoticed until increasingly large numbers of pilgrims were reported 
to be congregating there to see the "living saint". When asked about 
SCP-1389's origins, the resident monks claimed that the icon was 
given as a gift to the monastery by an anonymous artist, and that it 
had been in their possession for centuries. 


SCP-1389 has no abnormal visual attributes, but the figure it depicts 
is slightly warmer than standard facility temperature, at 35 degrees 
Celsius. X-ray imaging reveals a complete human skeleton directly 
underneath the surface of the image, flattened and to scale with the 
figure's form. 


No dissections have been carried out on SCP-1389 due to the 
possibility of destroying it, but CT scans indicate that fully functional 
circulatory and nervous systems exist underneath the "paint", 
implying that it is a living organism. Neurological tests have proven 
that SCP-1389 has an emotional reaction when spoken to, and is 
likely intelligent. Development is underway on potential methods for 
SCP-1389 to communicate. 


Addenum 1389-01: Testimonies of SCP-1389 


It was initially believed that SCP-1389 had no capacity for 
movement, but the figure has shown that it is capable of moving its 
eyes to follow an object. An interface based on those utilized by 
victims of full-body paralysis has been installed in front of 
SCP-1389, consisting of a panel of Cyrillic letters and common 
Russian phrases that are activated when it makes eye contact with 
them. After demonstrating the device's functionality to it, SCP-1389 
has proven to be capable of communicating with testing personnel 
through this interface, but has thus far refused to respond directly to 
questioning. SCP-1389's statements can happen days apart from 
one another, and are often only semi-coherent. The following 
transcriptions have been translated from their original Russian. 


3/17/ , 10:25 AM: 


i was born of my mothers womb not cobbled together by 
the clumsy hand of the artisan in this cage of wood and 
flesh

they rang their thunderous church bells praising god 
yet i often wonder which god it is they prayed to

SCP-1390: A Dead Language 


Item #: SCP-1390 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All documents containing 
samples of SCP-1390 and the accompanying reports are to be kept 
in a standard safe located at Site-73. Site-73 encompasses the 
entire island of off of the coast of Greece, which is currently 
believed to be the site of a nuclear testing installation. Any civilians 
near the island's coast or found on the land are to be detained by 
on-site security personnel and interrogated for knowledge of 
SCP-1390, administered a Class-B Amnestic, and sent back to the 
mainland. 


Instances of SCP-1390-1 are to be cataloged and then incinerated 
immediately. Samples of SCP-1390 found on the objects are 
classified as extreme memetic hazards and are to only be viewed by 
SCP-1390-2. 


MTF Epsilon-13 (aka "Grammar Police") are to be sent to any area 
where an archaeological dig has uncovered a SCP-1390-1 object or 
an instance of SCP-1390-2 has been sighted. MTF E-13 is 
authorized to administer Class-B Amnestics and terminate 
SCP-1390-2 subjects as necessary. Foundation moles are to 
monitor Anthropology or Linguistics departments of major 
universities of any research into SCP-1390. 


All attempts to study SCP-1390 are to be made by D-Class 
translators, specially screened for linguistic skill. These researchers 
are exempt from monthly termination procedures. They are to be 
granted unconditional access to the catalog of SCP-1390-1 objects 
and facsimiles of SCP-1390 research. D-Class translators are to 
make a detailed report of their findings without using any written 
examples of SCP-1390 delivered once every week. Subjects are to 
be terminated before reaching the third stage of infection. All third 


stage subjects represent an exponentially increased cognitohazard. 
As of Incident-1390-1, no Foundation researcher is to directly study 
SCP-1390. 


As of Incident-1390-2, all material generated by world governments 
are to be monitored for SCP-1390. All results are to be sent to 
Site-73. Any instances of SCP-1390-2 found in these areas are to 
be terminated and brought to Site-73 for autopsy. If these 
SCP-1390-2 subjects have had no contact with SCP-1390-1 objects, 
special containment procedures are to be revised immediately. 


Description: SCP-1390 is a grammatical structure only exhibited in 
a dead language of the civilization of the island of | . While 
records indicate no mass migration, artifacts containing instances of 
SCP-1390, known as SCP-1390-1, have been found in such varied 
areas as the Mongolian steppes, the Hindu Kush of northern 
Pakistan, the Apennines, and the coast of Brazil. Research suggests 
that [DATA EXPUNGED]. (See Document-1390-A with Level 5 
Security Clearance.) SCP-1390-1 objects resemble period art 
created by contemporaneous Mediterranean civilizations. No 
SCP-1390-1 objects are anomalous themselves and can therefore 
be classified as Safe. 


Instances of SCP-1390-2 are created through any contact or 
meaningful knowledge of the syntactical structure of SCP-1390. Of 
the individuals exposed to SCP-1390, 60% become interested, 
almost obsessed, with decoding and studying the language's syntax. 
Of this number, 95% progress to late stage symptoms and can be 
accurately designated SCP-1390-2. SCP-1390 infection occurs ina 
greater rate in individuals who show interest in the mechanics of 
language, and the infection proceeds more swiftly in subjects who 
are fluent in more than languages. 


The first stage of SCP-1390 infection manifests in an increased 
aversion to incorrect grammar. Subjects who were previously shown 
to be indifferent to grammatical errors react strongly to mistakes. 
This stage is innocuous, and subjects seek to correct the grammar 
of those around them. SCP-1390-2 individuals at this stage report a 
feeling of contentment when correcting grammar. Analysis of CT- 
scans performed on first stage subjects have shown electrical and 
neurological responses similar to opiate usage. The need to correct
