Group-D - “The Second Pacifican Republic” 


¢ Group-D claims the territory of the US Pacific states (Alaska, 
California, Washington and Oregon) with the exception of 
Hawaii, and expresses negative sentiments towards 
Americans and the US government. All Group-D entities are 
dressed in environmental suits, and speak modern English, 
muffled due to their outfits. Although observation is difficult 
due to their dress, they appear to be severely malnourished 
and emaciated humanoids. 


Group-E - “The Association for the Restoration of Japan” 


¢ A militaristic organisation dedicated to Japanese imperial 
revival, under the “Go-Meiji Emperor”. It bears many 
similarities in structure and history to the IJAMEA, but no ties 
between the IJAMEA and Group-E have been discovered as 
of yet save its representation by an individual named General 
Yukio Kurata (E-1), who shares the same name as a previous 
IJAMEA leader. However, the Kurata family is not known to 
have any living descendants. 


Group-F - "The Unity" 


¢ Group-F entities are the only entities which do not 
communicate in an intelligible language, and information on 
Group-F is therefore limited. Although dressed in normal 
business clothing, they are pale humanoids, roughly 2m tall, 


with severely atrophied eyes and no visible mouth. They 
communicate by producing a high-pitched buzzing via an 
unknown mechanism. All SCP-3656 entities appear to 
understand this, and will respond to Group-F entities as 
normal. As translation efforts have been unsuccessful, 
Foundation staff are advised to respond to Group-F entities 
with vague, noncommittal statements, unless the content can 
be inferred from the responses of other entities. Other entities 
refer to Group-F as 'the Unity', the significance of which is 
unclear. 


Group-G - "The Republic of Poland" 


¢ Group-G, with regards to its population, territory, history, 
culture and political structure, is identical to the non- 
anomalous Republic of Poland. It is unclear why Group-G is a 
member of SCP-3656-1, as the non-anomalous Republic of 
Poland has control over its national polity and no outstanding 
territorial claims. The representative of Group-G is the Polish 
Minister for Foreign Affairs®, who behaves in a manner 
consistent with its known counterpart. External surveillance of 
this individual has revealed no anomalous activity, including 
during SCP-3656 events. The Foundation’s Polish assets 
have been directed to be alert for any local evidence of 
Group-G and SCP-3656. 


Group-H - [DATA EXPUNGED] 
+ [DATA EXPUNGED]’ 


While an SCP-3656 event is in progress, Representative A-1 is to 
participate and gather intelligence without raising suspicion, and 
promote the exercise of restraint and conservatism in policy 
decisions. If they are asked to make significant policy decisions or 
SCP-3656 entities have other queries with serious implications, they 
are advised to make diversionary statements and ask to revisit the 
issues at the time of the next event, so a course of action can be 
decided on in the interim with the input of senior staff. Retrieval of 
objects from within SCP-3656 is a goal so long as it does not attract 
the attention of SCP-3656 entities.

Entry of Foundation team into SCP-3656. 


C-1: [Welcome, to the honourable Persian 
delegates.] Other entities voice similar 
sentiments. 


Dr Dabashi: Greetings to the honourable 
representatives. 


C-1: [Now that all are present, | suggest we 
begin. This meeting of the Organisation is now 
in session. |, Carlo Contarini, representative of 
the Venetian people, have the rotating chair, 
passed to me by His Russian Excellency. Do 
any of the assembled wish to raise any issues 
from the last meeting?] 


No responses. 


C-1: [We shall continue. The primary item on 
the agenda today is the proposal for currency 
standardisation, as part of our 20-year plan for 
development of a single market. As you know, 
all members have agreed to this in principle, 
but a number of concerns have been raised. In 
particular, the representative from Pacifica has 


strongly expressed his government’s feelings 
about the proposed use of the New Standard 
dollar. Ambassador Wilson, you have the 
floor.] 


D-1: The Republic will veto any proposed 
(unintelligible) if the currency of the occupiers 
is used. We are aware New America remains 
dominant in most of your existences, but there 
is a higher principle at stake here. All members 
are bound by a common purpose of justice 
and (unintelligible), which cannot be sacrificed 
for economic expediency. 


B-1: [The exercise of the unilateral veto would 
be most irregular and disappointing, given that 
the single currency proposal had been 
previously agreed to in Resolution 40.] 


D-1: Resolution 40 was a statement of intent, 
which did not give the proposal’s specifics. 


F-1: (buzzing for 25 seconds) 


E-1: [| agree with the Unity representative. My 
Association considers the use of the Standard 
dollar preferable but negotiable. While the 
Pacifican position poses some problems, they 
should be able to be accommodated.] 


C-1: [The introduction of an entirely new 
currency, even if pegged to the New Standard 
dollar, would cause significant disruption to our 
operations. We would not be able to agree to 
this without concessions. ] 


Dr Dabashi: That seems reasonable. 


D-1: Is it necessary for the Venetian people to 
consult the Board before making decisions? 
Muttering and disquiet. 


B-1: [Ambassador, please.] 
H-1: [DATA EXPUNGED] 


G-1: [I propose we move forward from the 
point of view of developing a new unified 
currency. This has always been considered by 
the Organisation as a possibility throughout 
this process, and much of the theoretical work 
has already been done. Parties are still able to 
provide their conditions.] 


E-1: Haven't had enough of new currencies? 
(laughter) [We agree with the proposal]. 


H-1: [DATA EXPUNGED] 
B-1: [Agreed.] 
F-1: (buzzing for 2 seconds) 


D-1: It’s good to see we can come to an 
agreement. 


Dr Dabashi: (whispering to other team 
members) What do you think? 


Agent Hashemi: (whispering) Why are you 
asking us? You're the expert here. 


Dr Dabashi: (whispering) | worked on free- 
trade agreements, not currency unions. (to 
room) We request, uh, to seek the approval of 
the Shahanshah, prior to making a final 
decision. 


B-1: [As we are still in the development phase 
of the process, we request a statement of 
intent at today’s meeting.] 


Dr Dabashi: Very well, we, uh, agree with the 
Minister, at this point in time. 


move and | got the hell out of the house. By the time | got home | felt 
okay, just really shaken. | called my sister and told her that I'd hada 
really bad dream. | really expected her to be dead but she was 
perfectly fine and she's still fine. But Carla... | found out that Carla 
was dead. They say she passed away in her sleep, in her quarters 
at [REDACTED] manor. So maybe that wasn't really my sister | saw, 
but it really was Carla? Maybe it killed her, or maybe she died and it 
took her... soul, | guess, and then came after me. | just don't know. 
Mr. [REDACTED] fell and ended up in the hospital the very next 
night. So is that a coincidence? | don't know. Maybe he'll say 
something to you - he sure hasn't said anything to anyone else. 
And... that's all, really. After that, you guys came along, so you 
know the rest better than me. 


Interviewer: Thank you for your time, Ms. Erickson.

Event Transcript 3656-299-2 (04/11/13) 
Foundation Participants: Dr Dabashi 
(Representative A-1), Agent Nafisi, Agent 
Hashemi 


C-1: [The assembled representatives have 
proposed and agreed to consider a new 
unified currency. In the interests of 
international solidarity, we will continue along 
this path. | propose a fifteen-minute recess.] 
General agreement. 


The door opposite the entrance of SCP-3656 
opens, and several men and women dressed 
in formal attire enter with water, tea, coffee 
and platters of sandwiches. SCP-3656 entities 
begin to move about the room and make 
casual conversation. C-1, C-2 and C-3 leave 
the room. 


B-2 places a plate of sandwiches in front of 
B-1. No response is observed from B-1. 


B-2: (to D-1) These are very good. (D-1 
appears surprised) My apologies, Excellency. | 
meant no offence. 


D-1: None taken. 


G-1: (to Dr Dabashi) Would you like a ham 
sandwich, Ambassador? It’s all right for you to 
eat these? 


Dr Dabashi: Oh, thank you. Yes, I’m nota 
practicing Muslim. Dr Dabashi takes a 
sandwich. G-1 appears confused. 


E-1: Pardon me for asking, Ambassador, but | 
didn’t realise you had undergone a 


realignment. Was it very difficult for you? 
Dr Dabashi: Sorry? 


E-1: You haven't? But why — ah. Best not to 
eat those, Ambassador. Have the egg salad 
instead. 


Dr Dabashi and E-1 share halves of an egg 
salad sandwich. Dr Dabashi later reports no 
abnormalities. 


Dr Dabashi: Very nice. 


Dr Dabashi and E-1 proceed to have a 10- 
minute conversation about Japanese and 
Iranian national cuisines. The content of this 
conversation is unremarkable, save E-1 
lacking comprehension when Dr Dabashi 
attempts to discuss dishes containing salmon, 
tuna and other seafoods. 


E-1: Next year in Isfahan, yes? (laughs and 
claps Dr Dabashi on the shoulder) 


Agent Hashemi successfully retrieved a sample of the 
ham sandwich. No abnormalities were found on testing, 
but when a portion was fed to a laboratory mouse, signs 
of distress and poor appetite developed over 2 hours. An 
autopsy revealed widespread intestinal ulceration. The 
remainder of the sandwich was classified as a hazardous 
anomalous object and is currently in cold storage at 
Site-70. 


Addendum 3656-2: On 04/07/16, the Foundation team entering 
SCP-3656 did not reemerge after 30 hours. Staff members Dr 
Dabashi, Agent Hashemi and Junior Researcher Rahemi have been 
designated as missing in action. Since this date, SCP-3656 has 
been inactive, with no deviations from an ordinary basement room. 
SCP-3656 was subsequently reclassified as Neutralised. 


An audio recorder issued to Agent Hashemi was found in SCP-3656 
after this event. This is the only example of an item persisting within 
SCP-3656 after the completion of an event. Large sections of the 
data are missing, and identification of speakers is speculative, as no 
context information was available.

Audio Log 3656-330-1 (04/07/16) 
C-1: [... significant disruption to our activities.] 
F-1: (buzzing for 12 seconds) 


D-1 (?): As you know, the accession of the 
Marshal to office has altered the political 
situation significantly. The administration can 
no longer countenance the (unintelligible) of 
the Organisation if there is no mutual support 
amongst its members. 


G-18: [| must remind you that my government 
has serious reservations about this course of 
action. It is not consistent with this 
organisation's stated goals of peaceful 
cooperation and promoting international 
justice.] 


D-1 (?): International justice is of no use if its 
enforcement requires allowing an occupying 
power to trample the oppressed. 


E-1: [Minister, we understand your 
reservations, but we have already recognised 
your unique situation and agreed your 
diplomatic support only will be sufficient.] 


Dr Dabashi: When was this agreed? 


E-1: [The specifics of this agreement were 
arranged in the emergency session of the 
Organisation.] 


Dr Dabashi: We were not party to this 
session, and request a summary of the events. 


(background noise and unintelligible 
whispering for 4 minutes) 


E-1: [The Persian non-attendance at the 
emergency session was already noted. Do the 
other representatives have an opinion on how 
to proceed?] 


H-1 (?): [DATA EXPUNGED] 


B-1 (?): [Agreed. This was most disappointing 
and unexpected. We have been forced to 
assume that the lack of communication from 
the Sublime State was a statement of 
displeasure.] 


Dr Dabashi: | assure you, excellency, no 
offence was intended. 


C-1: [This only raises further questions. While 
we do not wish to comment on your internal 
affairs, such a lapse reflects poorly on the 
functioning of your office.] 


E-1: [| do not think we should question the 
good character of our friend the Ambassador. 
However, this is perhaps a good time to revisit 
Our concerns from the emergency session. His 
Imperial Majesty himself has taken an interest 
in the information security procedures of the 
Organisation, and | gather the Pacifican 
Republic and [DATA EXPUNGED] share 
similar concerns, yes?] 


G-1: [Are you suggesting that the assembled 
representatives are not acting in good faith? | 
must protest... ] 


E-1: [Please, Minister, | am not making any 
accusations. | simply wish to be able to report 
to His Imperial Majesty that we are confident in 
the integrity of all present. | am sure there will 
be no problems, yes?] 


(sound of doors opening, movement of 10-20 
persons into room) 


Dr Dabashi: What is this? 

C-1: [General, this is a diplomatic meeting!] 
F-1: (buzzing for 8 seconds) 

G-1: [You agreed to this?] 


D-1 (?): [As have I, and the Russian and 
[DATA EXPUNGED] representatives. ] 


C-1: [The Board will not stand for this offence 
against... ] 


E-1: [It is merely a formality, Mr Contarini. In 
any case, the Board has already given their 
approval for these measures. ] 


Dr Dabashi: | must lodge an official protest. 
We cannot be expected to conduct meetings 
under such conditions. 


E-1: Ambassador, I'm sure we can straighten 
this all out. | think you deserve an explanation 
for this unfortunate problem in private. [Major 
Fujita, would you?] 


E-?: [Yes, General. ] 
E-1: As | said, a mere formality. 


[RECORDING ENDS] 


Addendum 3656-3: On 20/1/2017, all material within the current 
bounds of SCP-3656 disappeared, leaving a layer of exposed 
topsoil. 7 Foundation staff and an estimated 3,200 civilians were 
affected by this event, and are presumed deceased. The bulk of 
archived material relating to SCP-3656 was also lost in this event. 
Responding agents and civilians displayed symptoms of acute 
radiation poisoning, leading to the discovery of significant 
radioactive contamination. Widespread administration of Class-B 
amnestics was required to conceal this event, in combination with a 
cover story relating to a chemical truck explosion. 


LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED - 
INPUT ACCESS CODE 


Addendum 3656-4: On 09/06/2017, the following 
document was received by the Provisional National 
Government of Vietnam, a California-based Vietnamese 
organisation in opposition to the current Communist 
government. Foundation agents secured the document 
and existing copies, explaining its presence as a prank. 


Similar documents have been reported by Foundation 
sources within the Central Tibetan Administration and 
the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. Any further 
examples of these should be intercepted and seized, 
with amnestic administration as necessary. 


The whereabouts of SCP-3656-1 are unknown. Site-71 
has been established to research methods of contact 
and containment as a high priority.
