Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2411 is to be 
locked inside a secure, opaque container and placed ina 
high-value item storage room at Site-30. This room is 
accessible only by the Site Director when accompanied 
by at least two other Level 4 personnel. The custom-built 
lock on SCP-2411 is not to be removed without approval 
from Level 5 personnel. Foundation personnel are not 
permitted to directly handle SCP-2411 under any 
circumstances. Two guards are to be posted outside of 
the storage room at all times. Under no circumstances 
are researchers or legal counsel who have participated 
in experiments with SCP-2411 and are aware of its 
properties to be allowed access to Site-30. 


Description: SCP-2411 resembles a typical Model 

snub-nosed revolver. The only physical alteration from 
a standard model is the phrase “FOR INTERNAL USE 
ONLY” inscribed where a serial number would usually 
be. 


When a person who is employed by a company or 
organization (henceforth the “user”) places the end of 
SCP-2411 in their mouth and pulls the trigger, it results 
in the instantaneous death of all other employees of the 


arm resembling that of the test mannequin has 
been witnessed emanating from SCP-262 since 
this Trial. 


* Case Study 262-307: Placement of SCP-262 on a recently 
deceased human being 


© Trial 1 - Research personnel put SCP-262 on to the 
body of a recently deceased Class-D personnel, 
recently terminated in an experiment with SCP- 
[EXPUNGED]. The body is whole, unscathed and 
mounted into a seated position on a chair. After a few 
moments, a single human arm emanating from the inner 
lining of SCP-262 reaches up towards the body's face. 
After several prods of apparent curiosity, the arm 
retreats. After several more moments, the body which 
SCP-262 is on begins shaking violently. A popping and 
snapping sound is heard and the deceased's hands, 
visible at the end of the sleeves, suddenly retract. The 
body then stills. A human hand reaches up the back of 
the deceased neck from the collar and pulls the head up 
into an upright position. Numerous hands and arms 
criss-cross the chest and abdomen and straighten the 
body. Two cellulitic arms reach down the body's legs 
and grip the ankles. SCP-262 pulls the body into a 
standing position as other arms of cellulose come down 
each sleeve. 

© SCP-262 continues by breaching containment and 
overpowering security. At the time, MTF Epsilon-9 (aka 
"Fire Eaters") were present in the facility to provide 
reinforcements. Discharging their flame accelerators in 
an aggressive fashion, members of MTF-E9 were able 
to corner SCP-262 in a blind hallway. When cornered, a 
hand from within SCP-262 pulled the coat up and over 
the head of the body it was using. SCP-262 collapsed to 
the ground with the body of the Class-D personnel 
disappearing beneath it. It is unknown if the incident 
was caused by the will of SCP-262 or the will of the 
body of the recently deceased Class-D personnel used. 


company or organization to which they belong. The 
cause of death appears to be a gunshot wound to a 
forehead, though no cause of this injury can be found. 
SCP-2411 can be unloaded and still produce this effect, 
meaning it does not necessarily kill the user. 


Implications of SCP-2411's anomalous properties were 
not understood at the time of its recovery. Standard 
testing with D-class personnel was being considered 
before the Ethics Committee flagged testing with 
SCP-2411 for review by the Foundation’s legal 
department. The legal department determined that D- 
class personnel, for purposes of SCP-2411's 
hypothesized effects, were to be considered employees 
of the Foundation. Accordingly, if testing had proceeded 
with a D-class personnel using SCP-2411 as intended, it 
likely would have resulted in the instantaneous death of 
all persons currently employed by the Foundation. 


Emergency testing was conducted with prison inmates 
from the [REDACTED] Correctional Facility who were not 
granted D-class status. Representatives from the 
Foundation’s legal department joined researchers to 
provide legally valid employment contracts, certificates of 
incorporation, and other forms of documentation as 
needed. The following observations were made: 


¢ SCP-2411 has no effect when the user is an 
unemployed person. 

¢ SCP-2411 has no effect when fitted with a custom- 

built lock that would impede the normal function of 

a firearm. 

If a corporation was legally dissolved, SCP-2411 

would have no effect when used by any former 

employees. 

* SCP-2411 may affect sole proprietorships, 

partnerships, corporations, not-for-profits, 

charitable or religious organizations, and 

governments. 

Verbal contracts were recognized as valid by 


SCP-2411. 

SCP-2411 has no effect if an employed user 
resigns, quits, retires, or is fired from their position 
before pulling the trigger. Verbal indication of 
termination of contract from either the employee or 
their employer is sufficient to avoid the lethal 
effect. 

SCP-2411 must be in a user’s mouth to produce 
its effect. Researchers opted not to explore the 
potential of its function when the item is in any 
other orifice. 

A user who is an entry-level employee can cause 
the deaths of upper management and vice versa. 
Payment is not necessary to qualify as an 
employee, but unpaid interns are not subject to the 
effect of SCP-2411 . 

Legal counsel drafted a charter document for “The 
Procure, Certain, and Suspect Foundation,” which 
included a provision allowing for the conscription of 
“Class Z” personnel. When used by a “Class Z” 
personnel, all members of the PCS Foundation 
were affected, including overseeing members of 
the “Uh-5” council. This appears to confirm the 
hypothesis about the dangers of testing SCP-2411 
with D Class personnel. 

One user was a long-time member of the 
[REDACTED] gang, a white supremacist 
organization active in and out of several prisons in 
[REDACTED] state. The sudden deaths of all 
members of the gang, an estimated people, was 
explained by a disinformation campaign as a high- 
precision operation orchestrated by a rival gang. 
This is the highest number of known victims of a 
single use of SCP-2411. 

A user who was acting as a “mole” would harm the 
organization they had infiltrated, but not the one 
which assigned them that mission. In other words, 
if the user retained a secret loyalty to Company A, 
but was technically employed by Company B, their 
use of SCP-2411 would cause the deaths of 


Company B’s personnel. 


This is just one of the reasons we have an 
Ethics Committee checking our work, people. 
You can’t go blindly testing things on D-class 
and think it’s never going to bite you in the ass. 
If one of them had used this...well, I’d hate to 
think of a world without a Foundation. Just 
imagine if this fell into the hands of a 
depressed government employee. Or, hell, 
some fry cook at . Given the only way to 
guarantee our safety seems to be making us 
all unpaid interns, I’m submitting a request to 
decommission this thing as soon as possible. 
—Dr. [REDACTED] 


There was some debate regarding proper object 
classification for SCP-2411. While the object itself poses 
no apparent risk of containment breach, which would 
meet the definition of "Safe," some staff members 
argued the threat it posed to the Foundation's existence 
meant research into neutralization was imperative, a 
course of action usually reserved for "Keter" objects. Dr. 
[REDACTED], lead researcher on SCP-2411, requested 
that the basic containment procedures be fabricated to 
prevent widespread organizational knowledge of the 
item’s anomalous effects. Site Director [REDACTED] 
approved this request on [REDACTED] and classified 
SCP-2411 as a Keter-class object, pending 
neutralization. 


A request to decommission SCP-2411 was submitted to 
the O-5 council on [REDACTED]. The council 
unanimously voted to decommission SCP-2411 on 
[REDACTED]. Decommissioning was carried out on 
[REDACTED] and SCP-2411 is now considered 
neutralized. Transcripts of O-5 deliberations are 
available to one person of security clearance level 5 
overseeing of the region containing Site-30 only. 


+ SECURITY CLEARANCE LEVEL 5 - 


REGIONAL DIRECTOR ONLY 


First of all, let me say congratulations on your 
promotion to Senior Staff. You hold a special 
position of trust in recognition of your 
unfaltering loyalty and commitment to the 
Foundation. At the same time, you’ve proven 
yourself intelligent enough to understand that 
we've had to keep some things hidden from 
Our own personnel - as such, | expect you 
know where this is going. 


SCP-2411 was not decommissioned. It’s been 
hidden away some place where no one person 
knows exactly how to reach it, but it’s under 
the control of the O5 council. This was far from 
a unanimous decision. In fact, | voted against 
it, but here we are. 


There may soon come a time when an 
organization threatens the Foundation, the 
planet, or baseline reality to a degree beyond 
anything we’ve seen before. | apologize that | 
cannot be more specific, but you will 
understand when the moment arrives. You will 
betray the Foundation and offer your services 
to them. As Senior Staff, you will have a 
wealth of information that they can put to use. 
All you ask in return is a guarantee of your 
safety and payment for your cooperation... 
preferably something in writing. A contract, if 
you will. 


Once we know that you have become one of 
them - and made sure to terminate your 
employment with the Foundation - SCP-2411 
will be delivered to you. We trust you will know 
what to do. 


At this point, you have surely noticed that 
every prior level of documentation has 


contained fabrications to minimize the risk 
produced by this object's existence. Perhaps 
you believe, with good reason, that you're still 
not being told the full story. Maybe you don't 
buy idea that the object would leave its user 
unharmed. Perhaps that's just something we 
included at the lower levels to ensure that you 
do not hesitate out of a misplaced sense of 
self-preservation when we need you to pull the 
trigger. It may be the case that nothing | can 
say will convince you that you will survive if 
you use SCP-2411. Regardless, | hope that it 
is a risk you would be willing to take if the 
Foundation's existence depended on you. 


We don’t get many trump cards. | suppose it 
would have been a shame to throw this one 
away.

SCP-2412: Cassandra Bot 


Item #: SCP-2412 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2412 is kept in a standard 
safe humanoid containment chamber, fitted with a five number 
keypad lock. 


The use of SCP-2412 is strictly disallowed outside of approved 
testing. If a researcher has the intent to ask SCP-2412 a question 
about the future, he or she must fill out application 2412-F7o0 and 
turn it in to the site administrator. If said application is approved, one 
guard with a copy of the application will be posted inside the 
containment chamber while the researcher is asking questions. If, at 
any time, the researcher asks a question regarding the future that is 
not on the application, he or she will be removed from the 
containment chamber, and may or may not be given Class-C 
amnestics, depending on the sensitivity of information provided by 
SCP-2412. 


Description: SCP-2412 is a fully functional humanoid automaton 
that resembles an adult human female. SCP-2412 is composed of 
many complex clockwork and steam-powered systems including, but 
not limited to, rotational systems made of clockwork with the 
functionality of joint rotation and limb movement in general; a large, 
complex mass of clockwork systems in the cardial area of the chest 
that often emits dense clouds of steam; and, lastly, a steam 
powered engine located on the rear side of SCP-2412 accompanied 
by a fuel gauge that currently reads "98%". This engine is believed 
to provide SCP-2412 with energy to function, but this cannot be 
proven, as no attempts to breach the engine to examine its insides 
have proven successful. 


SCP-2412 is capable of vocalization, and is able to speak all known 
languages, as well as some others!. The object is also capable of 


basic motor skills such as walking and using its hands as a means 
to take hold of objects. 


When asked a question, SCP-2412 will respond with a correct 
answer, except in these cases: 


¢ SCP-2412 is posed a question about anything it deems 
anomalous2, or anything that may be affected by an anomaly3 

¢ SCP-2412 is posed an incoherent question, i.e. "Where clock 
pant leg?" 

¢ SCP-2412 is posed a question about how it was made or 
where it gets its information4. 

* SCP-2412 is posed a question about a paradoxical situation, 
ie. asking about the 'Grandfather Paradox’ and what the 
outcome would be. 


In these cases, SCP-2412 will respond with "Warning: Logic Error." 
Aside from these, SCP-2412 is capable of answering, with extreme 
accuracy, any type of question. These include, but are not limited to, 
questions regarding the future, scientific theories currently 
unconfirmed or misunderstood, and laws of nature that are not 
currently understood. 


It is currently unknown where SCP-2412 gets its information, and 
when posed a question about this, it will respond with "Warning: 
Logic Error." 


Discovery Log: SCP-2412 was discovered in an abandoned factory 
in , South Carolina. The factory had been abandoned for at least 
150 years, dating no further back than the year 1825. 


Interview Log-A1: 


Interviewer: Researcher Carter (project leader), 
Interviewee: SCP-2412. Researcher Carter is only 
allowed to ask the basic "who, what, when, where and 
why?" questions. 


Researcher Carter: Hello, SCP-2412. We would like to 
ask some questions. Before we begin, do you have any 
questions? 


SCP-2412: No. 


Researcher Carter: All right, then. Let's get started. 
When were you made? 


SCP-2412: Year - 1866. 

Researcher Carter: How were you made? 
SCP-2412: Warning: Logic Error. 
Researcher Carter: Why were you made? 


SCP-2412: Mankind fears evil: mankind creates god. 
Mankind fears germs: mankind creates antibodies. 
Mankind fears paranormal: mankind creates Foundation. 
Mankind fears unknown: mankind creates me. 


Researcher Carter: By whom were you made? 


SCP-2412: Creators: Elsat, Chivertti, Tilggan, Cufalotu. 
These four men collaborated to create a machine that 
would answer questions about the outcome of the war. 


Researcher Carter: Where were you made? 


SCP-2412: Country: American Provinces of Germany. 
State: South Havel. City: Frederick's Town. 


Researcher Carter: Thank you, SCP-2412. The 
interview is now over. We will likely ask more questions 
in the future. 


SCP-2412 remains silent. 


End log. SCP-2412 appears to have originated from an alternate 
timeline. Further questioning required. Seeking approval of an 
interview about basic human traits: Is it sapient? Can it feel 
emotion? Et cetera. -Researcher Carter 


Approved. -Edward Harden, Site Administrator 


Interview Log-A2: 


Interviewer: Researcher Carter, Interviewee: SCP-24 12. 
Researcher Carter will ask questions related to 
emotions. 


Researcher Carter: Greetings once again, SCP-2412. 
I'll ask you some more questions today. First, do you 
originate from our timeline? 


SCP-2412: No. 
Researcher Carter: How did you get to our timeline? 
SCP-2412: Warning: Logic Error. 


Researcher Carter: Where is "the American Provinces 
of Germany?" 


SCP-2412: It is located in what you would call the United 
States of America, as well as small parts of southern 
Canada and northern Mexico. 


Researcher Carter: When will your steam engine run 
out of fuel? 


SCP-2412: In years.
