Dr. : This is Dr. , preliminary investigation 
for possible classification of 315. Subject looks to be just 
a regular stack of DVDs. I'm going to take the first one 
and investigate it on a detached computer. Let's get a 
close-up on that symbol, can you see that? It looks like

relocated to the primary SCP-2735 containment unit. 


SCP-2735-2's remains are preserved in Secure Containment Locker 
2735. Those who wish to access SCP-2735-2 should submit a 
request to Site Command prior to their research. 


Description: SCP-2735 is a species of sapient aquatic organisms of 
which there are three surviving members. SCP-2735 is believed to 
have been dominant on Earth roughly 2.4 billion years ago, but was 
rendered functionally extinct. SCP-2735 are obligate anaerobes that 
consume carbon dioxide and produce methane, and will become 
physically ill when exposed to oxygenated air or water, resulting in 
death if exposed for extended periods. 


SCP-2735 have their body structures arranged trilaterally. 
SCP-2735 instances range in length from roughly 1.5 to 3 metres 
long, and from roughly 0.5 to 1.75 metres in diameter, with the 
majority of their forms being taken up by a long tail. SCP-2735 
instances primarily interact with objects using three appendages 
located on the anterior of their bodies, which each further split into 
five secondary appendages intended for grasping. Each SCP-2735 
instance possesses a single compound eye located on the anterior 
of their body, covered by a translucent layer of skin. A circular, 
toothless mouth is located on the proximal end of each of an 
SCP-2735's three primary appendages. The internal body plan of 
SCP-2735 resembles that of members of the phylum 
Echinodermata2, but is almost certainly unrelated. SCP-2735 
instances are autotrophic and heterotrophic, and derive sustenance 
from both filtering microscopic organisms from water ingested 
through their three mouths and collecting sunlight using a dense 
coating of wire-like fibres on the posterior of their bodies. Skin colour 
in SCP-2735 instances vary between dark greens and browns, 
though it is possible that colouration was more varied among the 
larger population prior to its destruction. SCP-2735 lives in 
symbiosis with bioluminescent prokaryotes, which they are capable 
of altering the colour of. SCP-2735 instances have extremely thin 
and porous skin. This allows for cutaneous gas exchange, which is 
their only method of respiration, and causes the bioluminescent 
organisms in their blood vessels to be extremely visible. SCP-2735's 
method of communication has not been translated by the 


Foundation as of yet, but appears to involve complex patterns of 
bioluminescent light. 


Discovery: The initial four SCP-2735 instances were preserved in 
an advanced space station in a 90 degree retrograde solar orbit. A 
radio signal from the station was discovered by the Big Ear radio 
telescope in 1998, and subsequently intercepted by the Foundation. 
The signal was initially assumed to be alien in origin, until 
Foundation astronauts were able to enter the craft and study the 
preserved organisms, identifying them as terrestrial. The station 
used by the SCP-2735 instances was transferred to a terrestrial orbit 
and subsequently de-orbited, then used as temporary containment 
for SCP-2735 until Foundation researchers could learn more about 
the subject's biology, at which point they were relocated to their 
current containers. After the initial finding, other SCP-2735 space 
stations were discovered in similar orbits, however all instances of 
SCP-2735 have either perished from the extended time in orbit or 
damage taken by collisions with other orbiting objects. 


Incident-2735-A: On / /19 at 6:34 pm, the rate and luminosity of 
all four SCP-2735 instance's bioluminescent emissions dramatically 
increased. This was noted, but not initially considered to be 
significant by observing personnel. At 6:42, the four SCP-2735 
instances began repeatedly propelling themselves against a specific 
location on the primary containment chamber's wall. This was 
recognized as a coordinated attempt to breach containment and 
Foundation agents entered the chamber. 


At 6:47, as five (5) agents attempted to restrain the SCP-2735 
instances, SCP-2735-2 succeeded in breaching the wall of the 
chamber. SCP-2735-2 and the other instances were violently forced 
out of their containment chamber by the resulting flow of water. The 
SCP-2735 instances then demonstrated body language believed to 
represent extreme agitation, presumably due to the harmful oxygen 
in the air or their lack of mobility. Agents were successful in 
relocating the SCP-2735 subjects to their secondary containment 
chamber, where they were temporarily contained while their primary 
chamber was rebuilt with additional steel reinforcement. 


Incident-2735-B: On / /19 at 3:46 am, the four SCP-2735 
instances again displayed heightened bioluminescent activity. Due 


to similarities with behaviour prior to Incident-2735-A, Foundation 
agents were alerted and ordered to enter the SCP-2735 primary 
container. Before agents were able to arrive, the four SCP-2735 
instances began to again propel themselves towards a location on 
the wall of their chamber, however SCP-2735-3 stopped after two 
(2) minutes and moved to the southeast corner of the chamber, 
while SCP-2735-1 displayed similar behaviour to SCP-2735-3 once 
Foundation agents entered the chamber at 3:54 am. No significant 
damage was done to the SCP-2735 chamber, and SCP-2735-2 and 
SCP-2735-4 were successfully restrained by Foundation agents until 
they ceased aggressive behaviour. 


Incident-2735-C: On / /20 , at 12:56 pm, SCP-2735-4 began to 
attempt to breach containment in a fashion similar to previous 
incidents, though the other SCP-2735 instances remained idle. After 
Incident-2735-B, SCP-2735's special containment procedures were 
updated to include four (4) Foundation agents in diving gear and 
body armour posted outside the container, and thus the incident was 
responded to immediately and SCP-2735-4 was restrained without 
incident. 


Incident-2735-D: On / /20 , at 5:41 am, heightened 
bioluminescent behaviour was observed from both SCP-2735-2 and 
SCP-2735-4. Due to bioluminescent events from SCP-2735-2 and 
SCP-2735-4 without a follow up containment breach attempt, this 
behaviour was not considered significant, and thus no agents 
entered the chamber. Roughly five (5) minutes after this was noted, 
SCP-2735-4 propelled itself towards SCP-2735-2. SCP-2735-4 
attached itself to SCP-2735-2 using its grasping appendages and 
began to repeatedly throw SCP-2735-2 towards the chamber's wall. 


The four posted agents then entered the chamber, but were 
repeatedly repulsed by SCP-2735-4. SCP-2735-1 and SCP-2735-3 
moved to a far corner of the room and ceased bioluminescent 
activity at this time. Following this, SCP-2735-4 began to use its 
appendages to tear at SCP-2735-2's skin. At 5:52 am, two (2) 
additional agents entered the chamber and began to assist the initial 
four agents. The agents were successful in restraining SCP-2735-4, 
but not before it had succeeded in dealing significant amounts of 
bodily harm to SCP-2735-2. 


Following the incident, SCP-2735-4 was temporarily relocated to the 
secondary containment chamber, while SCP-2735-2 was examined 
by Foundation doctors. SCP-2735-2 was confirmed to be clinically 
dead four (4) hours after Incident-2735-D began. Fourteen (14) days 
after Incident-2735-D began, SCP-2735-4 was transferred to its 
current chamber, and the four agents assigned to SCP-2735 were 
reassigned to guard SCP-2735-4 specifically. 


Incident-2735-E: On / /20 , at 10:23 am, SCP-2735-4 began 
propelling itself towards the wall of its containment chamber. While 
repeated incidents had proven that SCP-2735-4 was incapable of 
actually breaching containment using this method, agents entered 
the chamber and restrained SCP-2735-4 to prevent it from harming 
itself in the attempt. Foam padding was added to the walls of 
SCP-2735-4's chamber to prevent it from accidentally harming itself. 


Incident-2735-F: On / /20 , at 10:45 pm, SCP-2735-4 began to 
use its appendages to tear at its own flesh. Agents were successful 
in restraining it. A modified electronic shock collar was secured 
around SCP-2735-4's upper body to deter this behaviour in the 
future.

SCP-2736: The Age of Nixon 


Item #: SCP-2736 


Object Class: Euclid (SCP-2736-1), Keter (SCP-2736-2) 
Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: For its own protection 
SCP-2736-1 is kept at Armed Site-29, in a standard humanoid 
containment chamber.! Subject is allowed a television and a 
subscription to a newspaper of its choosing; a monthly allowance of 
$20 $30 $50 $75 $100 $125 US (amount periodically increased to 
account for inflation) has also been set aside to procure SCP-2736-1 
with reading material and other media it may request. Once a week 
subject is allowed one hour in the small courtyard at the center of 
Building 11, under the supervision of one guard. Once a year 
subject is allowed one new photograph each of Patricia Nixon, Tricia 
Nixon Cox and Julie Nixon Eisenhower. All privileges are contingent 
on good behavior, and may be rescinded at any time by Project 
Head/2736. Subject’s health should be monitored closely, as it has a 
history of phlebitis. 


SCP-2736-2 is uncontained at present. Long-term surveillance is to 
be maintained, with successful infiltration of its inner circle remaining 
a Class-lV Priority. 


UPDATE: Special Containment Procedures for SCP-2736 were 
discontinued on 23/04/1994. 


Description: SCP-2736 consists of two biologically-identical adult 
males, SCP-2736-1 and SCP-2736-2; as far as can be ascertained, 
both are former U.S. President Richard M. Nixon. They are the 
result of a little-understood event designated “Incident Janus-2736”, 
which resulted in a hitherto non-anomalous Richard M. Nixon being 
“split” into two distinct individuals through unknown, anomalous 
means. SCP-2736-1 and SCP-2736-2 appear to share the entirety 
of Richard M. Nixon’s memories up to Incident Janus-2736, at which 


point each individual developed a distinct consciousness; however, 
this cannot be conclusively verified due to the unavailability of 
SCP-2736-2 for study. 


SCP-2736-1 has been in Foundation custody since Incident 
Janus-2736, allowing its existence to remain concealed from the 
public. Despite having been produced through anomalous means, 
SCP-2736-1 displays no anomalous properties save for sharing a 
Level-Il causal relationship (physical, mental) with SCP-2736-2 (see 
Addenda 3, 5). Heavy scarring is present on subject’s chest, the 
result of injuries sustained during Incident Janus-2736. 


SCP-2736-2 is the individual known to the world as Richard M. 
Nixon, having served as the 37th President of the United States 
from 1969 to 1974. Due to SCP-2736-2’s high status and visibility, 
as well as the protection and continued interference of Gol-113 with 
Foundation efforts at recovery, SCP-2736-2 remains uncontainable 
at present. 


Recovery: On 21/06/1951, Undercover Task Force Theta-3-3 
(“Federal Reserves”) conducted a covert surveillance mission at the 
private campground known as Bohemian Grove, in Monte Rio, CA.3 
Theta-3-3 agents embedded in the campground’s security force 
observed a summer solstice celebration attended by members of 
Gol-113, which culminated in Incident Janus-2736.
