Exposure (Alpha): Due to violent behavior, subject was tranquilized 
prior to the experiment. Subject returned to full consciousness at 17 
minutes after donning SCP-482, whereupon he began to rant about 
a variety of topics that his attending physician noted as the basis for 
his delusions. However, ranting subsided after several minutes, 
replaced with utter calm. Subject was heard to exclaim, “Huh... 
what's going on?”. No other reactions were noted for 4 hours, 54 
minutes. 

Exposure (Beta): Upon entering Point Beta, subject displayed rapid 
skin and muscular mutation. Subject’s eyes began to bulge 
noticeably, and recording devices showed what appeared to be text 
scrolling across the subject's eyes. Subject began facing each 
researcher in turn and taking exaggerated breaths. Subject 
struggled against confinement and began to cry out "! knew it! 
There's no way you're real, you've kept them from me...their smell 
isn't right, they must be in hiding..." Subject continued to rant for 48 
minutes, at which point the termination order was given. 

Notes: Autopsy revealed that the subject's nervous system 
pathways had increased in size by %, the subjects tongue showed 
an increase in tastebuds by % and new formations in the eyes had 
developed. The subject's brain had also increased in mass by % 
with a 5x greater density of neural transmitters and conductors. 
Testing on the formations in the subject's eyes indicate the subject 
likely had visual acuity that extended into both the ultraviolet and 
infra-red ranges. Dr. postulates that the increase in sensory 
information and nerve clusters allowed the subject to test every 
possible type of input to try to 'prove' that individuals were real, and 
not impostors. Testing is proceeding on extracted nerve sections to 
determine if we can duplicate their growth and increased density as 
a basis for potential transplant. After testing observers indicated a 
heightened sense of hearing and perception for days, 
accompanied by an increased sense of paranoia.

Grace Farley: Being able to help the Other 
in such a capacity, with the smartest sons 
and daughters this neighbourhood's seen 
yet. That's human. That's heart. | just crave 
to bask in the skin of the Other. To be as 
warm as these kids. Wouldn't you like to be 
as warm as those kids, Frank? Wouldn't 
you like to share my skin too? 


Researcher Digby: |I- 


Grace Farley: Why can't you share one 
body, one soul, and by God if it's possible, 
one flesh? We're all human, Frank. We're 
one. We were born together and shall 
remain together. It's meant to be that way, 
‘cause what other way could there be? 
Keep 'em together and we won't be having 
any more tragedies, like the ones you see 
in the headlines every week. That mower is 
the best thing to happen to this 
neighbourhood, period. You wouldn't 
understand unless you stitch your heart 
where all others can see and allow yourself 
to bask in the skin of your fellow man.

Closing Remarks: Based on my interview 
with Pol-3719-7, | believe it is in our best 
interests to cease further investigation into 
the SCP-3719-Cobalt event in the 
Middlesex suburb, for the situation is simply 
too sensitive. SCP-3719 has contributed 
lasting emotional and physical effects that 
cannot possibly be reversed nor fully 
diagnosed. With SCP-3719 in our custody 


and no further observation of any 
anomalous effects, it is more than apparent 
that the anomaly has been adequately 
contained and requires no further research. 


What | suggest is the immediate 
amnesticization of the population of 
Middlesex. In addition to this precaution, | 
have submitted a proposal for the 
neighbourhood to undergo a mass false 
memory implantation procedure. This is a 
neighbourhood that very much so 
emphasizes community, whether 
SCP-3719 contributed to that community or 
not. The community is a pillar they worked 
desperately to build, and to topple that pillar 
would be to risk great emotional hardship, 
which is ultimately against our best 
interests. 


While this lawn mower is in direct 
opposition to our goals, keeping this civilian 
population safe is in full alignment. This is 
not an emotional plea, but rather a well- 
reasoned analysis based on the delicate 
situation we have been presented with.

SCP-3720: Smiting on a Budget 


Item #: SCP-3720 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force lota-10 
(“Damn Feds”) is to monitor civilian police department records 
worldwide for unsolved homicide, assault, or stalking cases that 
could indicate SCP-3720 activity. If SCP-3720-1 is confirmed to be 
targeting an individual, said individual is to be taken into protective 
Foundation custody. If possible, SCP-3720-1 manifestations should 
be non-lethally subdued and taken in for interrogation. 


+ Archived Special Containment Procedures 


Archived Special Containment Procedures: 
Site-121’s daily perimeter patrols and security 
are to be doubled from the standard of a Site 
containing primarily Safe-class anomalies. All 
delivery crews entering Site-121 are to 
undergo additional screening before being 
allowed through Site-121’s main gate. When a 
manifestation of SCP-3720-1 is detected on 
Site-121 grounds, Site-121 is to initiate 
Lockdown Procedure LONGSHORE 
(“Uninvited Guest”), and security personnel 
should attempt to capture SCP-3720-1 alive 
for interrogation. If nonlethal takedown is 
impractical or impossible, security personnel 
are authorized to use deadly force. Patrol 
routes are to be reconfigured on a bi-weekly 
basis. 


Description: SCP-3720 refers to the phenomena wherein an 
individual will be targeted for murder by SCP-3720-1. SCP-3720-1 
manifests as a middle-aged Caucasian male, and exhibits no 


anomalous traits or abilities apart from its ability to soontaneously 
manifest and demanifest at will. SCP-3720-1 typically manifests 
wearing some form of civilian clothing appropriate with the region it 
appears In, and carrying various tools and weapons to help it locate, 
confront, and kill its target, hereafter referred to as SCP-3720-2. See 
Addendum 3720-01 for details regarding SCP-3720-1 activities. 


If SCP-3720-1 is killed before killing SCP-3720-2, its remains and 
belongings will demanifest after several minutes, and a new 
manifestation of SCP-3720-1 will appear after one to three weeks 
within the approximate vicinity of SCP-3720-2. This new 
manifestation will continue to attempt to kill SCP-3720-2, apparently 
retaining the knowledge and experience of its previous iterations. 
Once SCP-3720-2 is dead, either through SCP-3720-1’s direct 
action or other causes, SCP-3720-1 will manifest elsewhere in the 
world after an extend period of time, targeting a new individual. 


SCP-3720 first came to the Foundation’s attention after SCP-3720-1 
began periodically assaulting Site-121 in 2005. Since its discovery, 
SCP-3720 is believed to be responsible for anywhere from 7 to 
deaths worldwide.

Addendum 3720-01: Partial Manifestation Log 


Note: As many of SCP-3720-1’s incursions 
involved avoiding security patrols and 
surveillance equipment, concrete footage and 
eyewitness accounts were not always 
available. As such, the “Reconstructed Events 
portion of these logs is merely the forensics 
team’s leading theory as to what occurred 
based on environmental context and whatever 
footage and eyewitness accounts were 
available. 


” 


Manifestation #: 1 

Date: 07/12/2005 

Reconstructed Events: SCP-3720-1 
blockades the main road leading to Site-121 


using a fallen tree, forcing an inbound delivery 
truck to a stop. SCP-3720-1 incapacitates the 
lightly-armed delivery crew, leaving them 
unconscious on the side of the road. Stealing a 
uniform and ID, SCP-3720-1 commandeers 
the truck and attempts to pose as a 
deliveryman at Site-121’s gates. SCP-3720-1 
is allowed to enter, but is recognized as an 
impostor by the loading bay staff. Security is 
alerted, and SCP-3720-1 is terminated while 
trying to flee. Upon its corpse demanifesting, 
entity is designated SCP-3720 and presumed 
neutralized. 

Site-121 Security Updates: Gate security 
staff reprimanded for failing to closely 
scrutinize the presented credentials. Delivery 
crews en route to Site-121 are now 
accompanied by two (2) armed security staff. 


Manifestation #: 2 

Date: 07/20/2005 

Reconstructed Events: SCP-3720-1 attempts 
to cut a hole in Site-121’s perimeter fence 
using a pair of bolt cutters. SCP-3720-1 is 
spotted by border patrols during this activity, 
and is terminated while attempting to flee. 
Upon demanifestation, SCP-3720 is 
reclassified as Euclid. 

Site-121 Security Updates: Perimeter 
security staff increased by 50% in anticipation 
of further incursions. 


Manifestation #: 5 

Date: 09/01/2005 

Reconstructed Events: Just after nightfall, 
SCP-3720-1 ambushes and incapacitates two 
border patrol officers using hand-to-hand 
combat and a small cattle prod. SCP-3720-1 
cuts a hole in Site-121’s perimeter fence and 
proceeds deeper into the site on foot. 


SCP-3720-1 is spotted on camera 
unsuccessfully attempting to enter the Staff 
Dormitories’ front entrance. Security personnel 
are dispatched, and SCP-3720-1 is terminated 
while attempting to engage the response team 
using the aforementioned cattle prod. 

Site-121 Security Updates: Chain-link 
perimeter fence reinforced with a layer of 
sheet metal. 


Manifestation #: 8 

Date: 11/12/2005 

Reconstructed Events: SCP-3720-1 remotely 
detonates a small amount of explosives in the 
forested area near Site-121’s eastern 
entrance. While the bulk of Site-121 security 
staff are preoccupied investigating the blast 
and reinforcing the eastern gate, SCP-3720-1 
uses a rudimentary zipline-like device to travel 
over the western end of the perimeter fence. 
SCP-3720-1 attempts to use a makeshift 
shaped explosive to enter the Staff Dormitories 
through a wall connected to a vacant supply 
closet. SCP-3720-1 is killed when the shaped 
charge detonates prematurely, leaving the wall 
moderately damaged. 

Site-121 Security Updates: Staff Dormitories’ 
wall is repaired. Several watchtowers are 
constructed around Site-121’s perimeter fence. 
Security patrols are assigned to the Staff 
Dormitories’ exterior. 


Manifestation #: 12 

Date: 03/24/2006 

Reconstructed Events: SCP-3720-1 spends 
an indeterminate amount of time digging a 
small underground tunnel, approximately 80 
meters in length and 1.5 meters in diameter, 
from the wooded area surrounding Site-121 to 
a maintenance tunnel directly beneath 


Site-121. SCP-3720-1 navigates the 
maintenance tunnel, using a miniaturized 
tranquilizer gun to incapacitate the three (3) 
unarmed custodial staff it encounters along the 
way, before ascending a stairwell to the 
ground floor of Site-121’s Staff Dormitories. 
SCP-3720-1 is recognized by Researcher _, 
who uses her personal sidearm to incapacitate 
the entity with a shot to its left shin. Security 
teams are scrambled, and SCP-3720-1 is 
stabilized and taken into Foundation custody. 
See Interview Log 3720-01. 

Site-121 Security Updates: Cameras are 
installed in various regions of Site-121’s 
underground maintenance tunnels. Several 
members of Site-121 administration propose 
temporary relocation of staff living quarters to 
a different, more secure location.

Interview Log 3720-01 


Date: 03/24/2006 

Interviewer: Dr. Perrino 

Interviewed: SCP-3720-1 

Foreword: Following its capture at the hands 
of Site-121 security, SCP-3720-1 had its 
wounds treated and its gear confiscated, and 
was handcuffed and sent to an on-site 
interrogation room. 


<Begin log> 


Perrino: Why have you been continually 
attempting to infiltrate this compound? 
Specifically, the Staff Dormitories? 


3720-1: Was hired to kill one of your guys. 
S 


Perrino: Hired by whom? 


3720-1: You wouldn't know her. Kinda part of 
the problem, that. 


Perrino: Indulge me. 


3720-1: The name “Velkai, Ever Present and 
Ever Watchful” ring any bells? 


Perrino: I’m afraid not. 
3720-1: Told ya. 


Perrino: Why does this “Velkai” want S 
dead? 


3720-1: He, ah... He broke a vase. Of hers. 
Well, dedicated to her. 


Perrino: And that warrants execution? 


3720-1: In my opinion? No. But Velkai likes 
her pottery. Doesn’t have much left. 


Perrino: Can we contact this individual? 


3720-1: She doesn't talk to humans, aside 
from me. Says it’s below her. 


Perrino: Velkai is non-human, then. 
3720-1: Yup. 
Perrino: What would you describe her as? 


3720-1: Not a good word for it in our language, 
m afraid. 


Perrino: Are you non-human as well? 


3720-1: I'm just as human as you are, chief. 


Perrino: Your apparent reincarnations would 
suggest otherwise. 


3720-1: Well, that's just part of the job. 


Perrino: | assume you're referring to your job 
as an... assassin? Is that a fitting title? 


3720-1: Yup. The whole disappearin’ and 
reappearin’ act is just somethin’ of a "new hire 
bonus". 


Perrino: There are others like you? 


3720-1: Other hitmen? Yeah. But none of em’s 
human like me, far as | know. Part of why | 
took the job. 


Perrino: I’m afraid | don’t follow. 


3720-1: There’s always gonna be folks out 
there who want someone dead. And there’s 
always folks who are willin’ to make that 
someone dead, for the right price. Difference is 
how many other folks get hurt in the process, 
understand? 


Perrino: Somewhat. Continue, please. 


3720-1: My, uh, coworkers couldn’t give two 
shakes of piss about collateral damage. They 
ain’t human, so what do they care if some 
extra humans get squashed along the way? 


Perrino: And you try to avoid such collateral? 


3720-1: Figured | made that abundantly clear. 
Coulda come in here guns blazin’, but | try to 
do things a bit more civil-like. Consider yerself 
lucky | got hired instead’a one of the real mean 
fuckers. Which brings me to my proposal. 


Test Number: 06 

Subject Gender: Male 

Subject’s Known Mental Illness: Pyromania 

Medication: None. 

Exposure (Alpha): [DATA EXPUNGED] subject ignored offered 
flammable materials offered by researchers for 1 hour, 32 minutes. 
Exposure (Beta): At 1 hour, 33 minutes, testing instruments 
recorded an increase in ambient room temperature to [DATA 
EXPUNGED] suffered containment failure at [DATA EXPUNGED] 
recorded temperatures upwards of kelvin and spontaneously 
ignited [DATA EXPUNGED}] loss of all observers, and caused 
catastrophic damage to hallway A-13 at Site before containment 
was re-established. The suit was recovered unharmed. 

Notes: The subject's body recovered showed increased density and 
had magnetic properties that made autopsy difficult, it also retained 
heat upwards of kelvin. Dissection showed a new organ in the 
body that was sustaining a [DATA EXPUNGED] and appeared 
stable. The organ was removed and placed in storage in magnetic 
containment at Site _ for future analysis.
