Dr. Bauer: Jacob, | know you're excited about 
this, but we don't exactly have rogue monsters 
roaming the nation. This isn't a superhero 
base, it's a hospital. It's our job to make sure 
you maintain a healthy body and mind while 
we figure out what's going on and determine 
the best way to help you. 


SCP-2724: Oh come on, Mr. Johnson, if I'm 
here then there must be other weird stuff! 
When my tentacle starts acting with a mind of 
its own - 


Dr. Bauer: 'When you temporarily lose 
conscious control.’ Jacob, your brain is 
reorganizing itself to control this appendage 
and it's important that you visualize it this way 
for your own mental development. 


SCP-2724: | know, | know. ‘When | temporarily 
lose conscious control’ of my tentacle | always 
black out but when | wake up | can see the 
damage it does, | know | can help you guys! 


Dr. Bauer: Jacob, we can't do anything while 
you're still at risk of blacking out. Why don't we 
work on minimizing those... events and we'll 
see what happens after that?

Interview Log 2724-3 
Interviewed: [SCP-2724] 
Interviewer: [Dr. Rudolf Bauer] 
Foreword: [Regular bimonthly interview] 
<Begin Log, [1/7/2016]> 
SCP-2724: What's the point? 


Dr. Bauer: What do you mean? What's wrong, 
Jacob? 


SCP-2724: You know what | mean Mr. 
Johnson. What's the point of keeping my chin 
up when I'm stuck in this room every day? | 
haven't seen the sun in like months, | haven't 
seen other people in... | can't remember how 
long. 


Dr. Bauer: Jacob, | know this is hard on you, 
and you've handled this better than anyone 
can be expected to, but we need to fully 
understand what's going on before you can - 


SCP-2724: Am | ever even getting out of 
here? Or are you just going to keep me locked 
up here forever? What's the point? 


Dr. Bauer: We're working around the clock to 
help you, but that takes time. You know that, 


ever been recovered from SCP-314. 


The object is capable of levitation and extremely swift motion, 
although it lacks any visible means of locomotion. Although research 
does not indicate any true intelligence, the object is most certainly 
sentient of its surroundings and extremely reactive to any motions or 
vibrations within an approximately 50 52-meter radius. 


Analysis of rubble recovered from the ground below SCP-314's 
origin point indicates that the object arrived at this location some 
time between 1975 and 1979, which is supported by pre- 
containment reports from civilians. 


The object emits no unusual radiation save for a very faint sound 
which appears to be an anomalous broadcast of FM, a local 
classic rock station. Comparisons between SCP-314's vibrations 
and the actual broadcast of FM are identical approximately 85% 
of the time, although recordings from SCP-314 often include extra 
audio in the form of guttural sounds, snarling and occasional 
commentary from the late DJ , who passed away in 1998 
and was not employed with FM after 1983. 


Research Summary: SCP-314 reacts to all motion within its kill 
radius by impacting with the source of movement, although it 
ignores particulate matter smaller than 125 micrometers. SCP-314 
will continue to react in this manner until the triggering object no 
longer moves, has exited the kill radius, or has been reduced to 
pieces small enough to be ignored. It displays unerring accuracy; no 
limit to its speed has yet been established. 


Current experimentation revolves around introducing multiple targets 
into SCP-314's kill radius at a time to quantify its method of 
identifying, prioritizing and reacting to multiple targets. 


Multiple slow-moving targets are often struck down in order of their 
introduction to the kill zone, notably in a method which suggests that 
SCP-314 is anticipating further objects to be introduced. In 
experiment 314-113, several tennis balls were tossed into the kill 
radius by researchers standing outside the red zone. SCP-314 
bisected each ball neatly in such a manner that their remaining 
momentum took them out of the kill radius, while putting itself into 


Jacob. 


SCP-2724: Well what do you expect me to do 
all day in here? Like, sit around all day? What 
do you want from me? | can't do anything! 


[Five seconds of silence; Dr. Bauer discretely 
alerts personnel to be on alert for a potential 
containment breach and continues interview] 


Dr. Bauer: Jacob, | need you to listen to me. 
No bullshit. This isn't the flu, this isn't a gut 
bug. You are a teenage boy who has a 
massive... tentacle growing out of your 
stomach. Whatever has happened to you is 
something the world has never seen before, 
and the best scientists and doctors in the world 
are working to help you control it, but we're 
creating new medical theory from the ground 
up here and | would be committing medical 
malpractice if | let you wander around when 
you're at risk of blacking out again, or worse. 
We're not just trying to keep you around here 
forever for fun. Believe me, even if we wanted 
to we don't even have that kind of budget. 


SCP-2724: [sighs] | do believe you, but it's not 
very comforting. I'm not mad, honest, I'm 
just... there's nothing to do here but sit and 
think, and | don't like what | end up thinking 
about. 


Dr. Bauer: It's not your fault, no one wants to 
feel out of control in their lives. Thanks for 
being so strong while you're cooped up this 
long. I'll see if | can give you more information 
on what we're researching and learning, okay? 


SCP-2724: Thanks, Mr. Johnson. 


Dr. Bauer: Between you and me, you can call 


me Frank. Hey, Jacob, superheroes aren't 
made in a day. Maybe this is the part that gets 
turned into a training montage in every movie. 
I'm always on your side in here, Jacob. 


SCP-2724: [laughs] Thanks, Mr. Frank, | mean 
it.

SCP-2725: Akron and Nemesis 


Item #: SCP-2725 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2725 is kept anchored in 
a reinforced hangar at Site-88. Several tracking devices have been 
attached to its surface for recovery purposes. Instances of 
SCP-2725-1A or 1B that attempt to escape the containment hangar 
are to be sedated. The vehicle is to be inspected monthly, and the 
Site Director has approved of relegating repair operations to 
SCP-2725-1A under the supervision of security. Personnel are to 
supply SCP-2725-1A with scrap material for this purpose. 


SCP-2725-1D is kept in a cryogenic containment cell. Instances of 
SCP-2725-1A that approach within five meters of SCP-2725-1D 
must be returned to the hangar. 


Global atmospheric surveillance of SCP-2725-2 is conducted using 
satellites and ground observation outposts. Response to confirmed 
sightings is to divert aircraft within a two kilometer radius away from 
SCP-2725-2's location to mitigate the probability of hostile 
encounters. 


Description: SCP-2725 is the salvaged remains of the USS Akron, 
a helium-filled rigid airship formerly belonging to the U.S. Navy. The 
vehicle has been extensively repaired and modified with scrap 
material and organic matter to permit continued function after its 
destruction in 1933. 


Majority of the outer envelope has been replaced by a membranous 
material that forms sail-like structures across the upper and lateral 
surface. The lateral propellers appear to have been repaired and the 
water recovery slots replaced by an array of apertures containing 
harpoons and mounted turrets. A pair of large cannons have been 
attached on the upper anterior hull, close to the crow's nest. Most of 


the duralumin framework appears to have been supplemented by 
additional girders. 


In the interior, the gas cells have been reinforced with additional 
plating and the insides are lined with a mat of microbial growth that 
produces helium for buoyancy. At the stern, the auxiliary control 
room has been entirely removed, and the rear spaces serve as a 
den for SCP-2725-1A. The gasoline engines have been repaired 
and are connected to a heart-like organic structure that, through an 
unknown mechanism, supplies power to the entire vehicle. 


At the anterior end, the control room has expanded in size, taking up 
part of the forward gangway and reaching halfway up the hull. The 
hangar has been carved out to accommodate SCP-2725-1C. 
Several large ports arranged laterally along the upper hull and lower 
hull are linked to hollowed-out chambers where SCP-2725-1B 
resides. Several other chambers have been constructed within the 
airship for various purposes. The spy basket appears to have been 
disposed of. 


SCP-2725 frequently maintains an anomalous ellipsoid field, 
approximately 270 meters long, 110 meters wide and 60 meters 
high, that renders the object invisible to outside visual and radar 
observation. It is presumed that this field can be diminished, which 
would explain the initial sightings of the object. SCP-2725 travels at 
an average speed of 100 km/h, with a fastest recorded speed at 
150 km/h. The airship has been observed to move at varying 
altitudes without being visibly affected by changing air temperatures. 


SCP-2725-1 is a collective designation comprising the sentient 
entities that inhabit and maintain SCP-2725. SCP-2725-1A and 1B 
creatures are born in a pod-like structure near the lower rear end of 
the airship to maintain a steady population. 


¢ SCP-2725-1A: SCP-2725-1A are insectoid creatures 
resembling black woodlice, measuring 1.8 meters in length. 
They have two pairs of grasping claws and can secrete an 
organic adhesive from their mouths. SCP-2725-1A are the 
most numerous instances present and serve to repair any 
damage on SCP-2725 as well as add materials to its 
structure. 


* SCP-2725-1B: Pterosaur-like organisms with a wingspan of 
up to six meters. The creatures display bioluminescent bodies 
and are primarily used to assist SCP-2725 in nocturnal 
navigation, but will also defend it against any perceived 
threats. 
SCP-2725-1C: A large, tentacled creature inhabiting the 
hangar of SCP-2725. SCP-2725-1C is responsible for gunnery 
aim and control. Several of its tentacles stretch throughout the 
interior, some of which extend out of the hull and are theorized 
to function as detection systems. Another group of tentacles is 
situated inside the hangar, which can extend to a length of 17 
meters. These tentacles are used to capture objects of 
interest. 
¢ SCP-2725-1D: SCP-2725-1D is an animate human corpse 
situated in the cockpit, wearing a military uniform and fused 
with radio equipment for communication. The entity appears to 
command SCP-2725, as well as SCP-2725-1A, 1B and 1C. 
SCP-2725-1D is in possession of an Enfield No. 2 modified 
with organic matter, but has never been observed using it. 


SCP-2725 constantly pursues a hostile airborne lifeform, designated 
SCP-2725-2. SCP-2725-2 is a segmented, serpentine creature 

350 m in length, with a pair of undulating, five meter long wings at 
each segment. SCP-2725-2 has not been observed to feed and 
possesses advanced camouflaging capabilities, allowing it to remain 
undetected to visual and radar observation. 


SCP-2725 and SCP-2725-2 appear to engage in combat whenever 
they encounter each other. In several cases both objects have been 
witnessed dropping their camouflaging mechanisms. SCP-2725 has 
been observed to lethally injure SCP-2725-2 using its weapons and 
SCP-2725-1B. Observations show that the object frequently targets 
the creature's wings. On the other hand, SCP-2725-2 attempts to 
wrap itself around the airship and crush it using constriction. To 
date, SCP-2725 and SCP-2725-2 have engaged in 27 recorded 
incidents. 


Addendum: Item History 
SCP-2725 was first sighted on February 24, 1942 over California. 
Air raid wardens from the 37th Coast Artillery Brigade were the first 


eyewitnesses, and in panic sounded an alarm at 6:57 PM, causing a 
succession of alarms. Within hours a total blackout was ordered 
across the Los Angeles County and anti-aircraft guns were readied, 
though pursuit airplanes remained grounded. Between 12:00 PM 
and 1:00 AM, SCP-2725 was sighted moving northwest from Culver 
City to Santa Monica. During this time the Coast Artillery Brigade 
began firing at the object and were able to cause some damage. 
SCP-2725 was last seen flying away from the Santa Monica area at 
4:15 AM. The “all clear" and lifting of the blackout order were 
announced at 7:12 AM. Building and vehicle damage from shell 
fragments were reported, as well as five civilian deaths, three of 
which were the result of car accidents caused by the panic. 


Due to the scale of the event and the rapid coverage of the media, 
the Foundation focused its efforts on covering up the incident as a 
false alarm triggered by growing war anxiety and the reports of 
unidentified targets were attributed to weather balloons, flares and 
anti-aircraft rounds. Most of the photos taken by eyewitnesses were 
confiscated and/or edited to support this explanation prior to being 
given to news outlets. Working with the US military, Navy Secretary 
Frank Knox delivered a press conference the following day to 
propagate the cover-up. The 37th Coast Artillery Brigade and other 
associated military officials also cooperated to deliver additional 
false information and ensuring the uncertainty of the incident's 
cause. 


From 1942 to 1963, SCP-2725 was seen in different locations 
across the globe at least 12 times. In multiple instances, the object 
was reported salvaging raw materials from both air and watercraft. 
In all cases, said craft were abandoned. SCP-2725-2 was also first 
sighted during this period, engaging SCP-2725 in 5 of the 12 
reported encounters. 


SCP-2725 was not seen again until 1972, when the airship was 
reported 200 kilometers southwest of ; . The Foundation 
launched three reconnaissance airplanes from Site-88 to 
investigate. It was during this investigation that initial contact with 
SCP-2725-1D was made. However, communication was interrupted 
when SCP-2725-2 appeared, destroying two of the surveillance 
planes. The third plane interfered in the conflict, allowing SCP-2725 


to injure SCP-2725-2 and forcing the creature to retreat. 
SCP-2725-1D, believing the act to be a form of assistance, offered 
to repair the damage inflicted on the reconnaissance plane. 
However the plane had crashed into the sea after the scuffle and 
was recovered by Foundation vessels one hour later. SCP-2725, 
meanwhile, disappeared again and was never sighted for the next 
twenty-one years.
