SCP-1135 appears to require some form of sustenance to survive. 
As well as absorbing water and nutrients from the soil, the organism 
appears to consume waste left within the boundaries of the village. 
Waste of all varieties left in the area affected by SCP-1135 begins to 
deteriorate and decompose at an extremely accelerated rate. This 


produces no odour and typically leaves no remains. This process 
does not affect living organic tissue, soil, or any object being used in 
some way by those within SCP-1135. It is believed that SCP-1135 
converts these materials into nutrients for itself through an unknown 
process. If so, it is unknown how SCP-1135 differentiates between 
waste and other matter. If SCP-1135 goes for long periods without 
‘feeding’, it will destroy structures, possibly in order to render them 
down for sustenance. Likewise, if SCP-1135 has been able to 
consume large amounts of waste, it will start to construct new 
buildings and improve existing ones at an increased rate. 


lf humans or animals cause substantial or repetitive damage to 
structures formed by SCP-1135, the organism will begin to construct 
elaborate ‘traps’ in order to injure, drive off, or kill attackers. These 
range from simple pitfalls and caltrops to elaborate traps which 
would indicate complex intelligence in a human. These traps will, if 
not triggered, disappear within a period of 20-30 days. Outside of 
these circumstances, SCP-1135 is never hostile or dangerous to 
human life. Additionally, SCP-1135 appears to be able to 
differentiate between damage caused indirectly or directly by living 
organisms, and damage caused by other forces. These findings 
suggest that SCP-1135 may possess some form of intelligence, but 
this is unproven. 


Addendum 1135-1: SCP-1135 was discovered on //  aftera 
reporter investigating aid efforts in the area recorded interviews with 
local residents claiming that buildings ‘grew overnight’. SCP-1135 
had an estimated population of at the time of its discovery by 
Foundation operatives. Residents interviewed reported that the 
village had possessed anomalous properties for years prior to 
Foundation intervention, after the village had been the site of a 
‘sustainable housing development scheme’, orchestrated by an 
organisation by the name of the 'Manna Charitable Foundation’. The 
Manna Charitable Foundation is apparently fictitious, and no 
attempts to identify those involved in the scheme have been 
successful. All residents of SCP-1135 were expelled, and 
administered Class-A or Class-B amnestics depending on how long 
they had lived in the village. All aid schemes in the area since have 
been monitored by the Foundation, although no other anomalies or 
any further information regarding the Manna Charitable Foundation 


have since come to light. 


Addendum 1135-2: Following the routine observational expedition 
carried outon / /_ , several buildings appeared to have developed 
security cameras on their outer walls and in certain indoor areas of 
the village buildings. These cameras have been observed to track 
waste disposal and research teams as they move through the 
village, and to conduct periodic sweeps of the village when 
undisturbed. Requests to dismantle one of the cameras for research 
purposes are currently pending approval by Dr.

SCP-1136: Subjective Directional Gravity 


Item #: SCP-1136 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1136 specimens are 
contained in separate 1m x 1m x 0.5m terrariums secured within an 
isolated, soundproof chamber at Site. All fixtures within 
SCP-1136's containment room must be bolted down or otherwise 
secured against shifting during a localized directional event. 
Experimentation with SCP-1136 requires prior permission from at 
least two (2) Level 3 Senior Researchers, and personnel within 
SCP-1136's containment area must wear magnetized boots or 
otherwise be secured against possible shifting. 


Description: SCP-1136 appears to be a species of small lizard 
similar to Hemidactylus frenatus (common house gecko) and is 
physically indistinguishable other than its anomalous property. When 
specimens of SCP-1136 are startled or frightened, they cause 
gravity within a radius of approximately 7 to 8 m to align itself with its 
orientation, without affecting the specimen itself. This occurs 
instantaneously and without any measurable change in the 
physiology of SCP-1136 other than that which is normal for a 
surprise response in normal Hemidactylus specimens. This effect 
continues as long as SCP-1136 remains frightened, and the 
direction of the gravity shift will continuously change to match its 
current orientation. 


SCP-1136-01 was discovered on //198 following anomalous 
reports at a local hospital in [REDACTED], wherein several children 
were admitted with minor injuries and limb fractures after reportedly 
chasing a gecko up the wall of their classroom. Class A amnestics 
were administered to all affected civilians, and several SCP-1136-01 
specimens were located in and retrieved from the school. 


Addendum 1136-01: Incident Log 1136-012 


On // ,Dr. accidentally dropped a clipboard while within 
SCP-1136-01's enclosure, startling it and causing it to run up the 
wall of its terrarium. During the subsequent gravity shift, Dr. was 
thrown against a nearby wall, which further startled SCP-1136-01 
and resulted in a cyclical gravity shift that continued for several 
minutes. Dr. was finally removed and treated for multiple bone 
fractures and a severe concussion. 


Addendum 1136-02: Experiment Log 1136-021 


SCP-1136-01 was successfully bred with a normal male 
Hemidactylus frenatus on / / , and its offspring were determined to 
exhibit the same anomalous property as the original. These 
specimens have been designated SCP-1 136-02 (male) and 
SCP-1136-03 through SCP-1136-06 (female). 


Addendum 1136-03: Incident Log 1136-019 


SCP-1136-01 was found dead in its containment area on // , 
apparently of natural causes. Dissection of the dead specimen 
showed no abnormalities or unusual structures. 


Addendum 1136-04: Incident Log 1136-026 


Permission was granted by Site Command on // to performa 
vivisection on SCP-1136-04. Upon incising into the specimen's 
abdomen, [DATA EXPUNGED] believed to be a short-lived 
gravitational singularity which caused catastrophic damage to the 
experiment site. 


Addendum 1136-05: Researcher Note 


Following an increasing number of anomalous incidents 
reported in the [REDACTED] region, it is currently 
believed that there is a standing wild population of 
SCP-1136 specimens. A Foundation containment team 
has been assigned to the area, but due to the small size 
of SCP-1136 and its similarity to mundane Hemidactylus 
specimens, complete containment of all wild specimens 
is expected to be extremely difficult if at all possible.

SCP-1137: Perfect Sphere 


Item #: SCP-1137 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1137 is held in a locked 
box in item storage locker 8A at Site-19. Level 3 clearance is 
required for access to SCP-1137. It requires no extraordinary 
physical measures to contain it; however, due to its memetic 
qualities, knowledge of SCP-1137's true nature is to be tightly 
controlled among personnel. See Document 1137-17 for a detailed 
description of anti-memetic safety standards. 


Description: SCP-1137 is a blue glass sphere approximately 10cm 
in diameter. To ordinary observers, it does not appear to have any 
special qualities, nor does it pose any risk. It is possible to take 
measurements of its material composition, weight, opacity, 
hardness, and any other physical properties of the sohere. However, 
its anomalous properties take effect if any attempt is made to 
measure the sphere's curvature or smoothness, or any other 
properties related to its spherical nature. 


If anyone does try to measure SCP-1137's spherical properties, they 
will become convinced that it is in fact a mathematically perfect 
sphere. They will believe that measurements consistently return 
results confirming this, regardless of the accuracy of the measuring 
device being used. Due to the memetic nature of SCP-1137, it is 
unknown whether SCP-1137 actually possesses these dimensions, 
or whether observers merely interpret the measurements as such. 
Small samples taken from SCP-1137 also display its memetic 
properties, and do not seem to affect the perception of the shape of 
SCP-1137. 


It is not actually necessary to perform the measurements oneself for 
a subject to fall under SCP-1137's memetic influence; merely being 
told that its shape is physically impossible is enough for the memetic 


agent to take root. However, transmission in this fashion requires 
the listener to understand the reasons why a perfect mathematical 
sphere cannot exist in material form; thus, memetic transmission to 
subjects without a scientific background is unlikely. It is also possible 
to circumvent the memetic agent by specifying that SCP-1137 only 
appears to be a perfect sohere when measuring, without actually 
stating outright that it is such. 


Once infected, a subject will become obsessed with the fact that, 
although all measurements indicate that SCP-1137 is a perfect 
sphere, it is physically impossible for this to be the case. This 
paradox will become deeply ingrained in the subject's mind. The 
subject will attempt to disprove this inconsistency, resorting to more 
and more accurate tools. Researchers have been recorded utilizing 
equipment including the on-site electron microscope in these 
endeavours. Despite this, they will never be able to perceive any 
results other than those indicating SCP-1137 is a mathematically 
perfect object, even when performing measurements at the 
picometer level. 


After extensive testing during which they are unable to prove their 
conviction, the subject will eventually decide that SCP-1137's nature 
must actually be possible. At this point, the secondary memetic 
properties of SCP-1137 will take effect. The subject will slowly 
acquire the compulsion to reproduce an instance of SCP-1137. 
Subjects with proficiency in a physical craft (e.g., sculpting, 
glassmaking, metalworking) will begin by attempting to produce a 
perfect sphere in that medium. Subjects without prior experience in 
crafting will attempt to learn. 


The subject will continue attempting to produce replicas of 
SCP-1137, but will always determine that their replicas are 
insufficiently precise. Subjects will become increasingly frustrated 
and obsessed, and will often try to experiment in other media 
subjects, using increasingly unconventional materials (e.g., animal 
or human remains) to attain their goal. Eventually the obsession 
overwhelms the subject's thought processes, with the subject 
forgoing sleep, food, and ordinary bodily functions in order to 
continue attempting their constructions. Subjects invariably expire 
either due to starvation or self-mutilation. 


Because a mathematically perfect sphere cannot actually physically 
exist, SCP-1137's spherical qualities were at first assumed to be its 
only anomalous feature. As a result, after being taken into the 
Foundation's possession, researchers were immediately exposed to 
its memetic qualities. Because the memetic effects of SCP-1137 are 
at first indistinguishable from ordinary scientific testing, 
[REDACTED] days passed before the Foundation realized 
SCP-1137's true nature. Because of this, an estimated individuals 
were infected. Strict anti-memetic procedures have been 
implemented surrounding knowledge of SCP-1137's anomalous 
properties, and a cover story is given to personnel lacking Level-4 
clearance regarding SCP-1137's status and true effects.

SCP-1138: Book of Letters 


Item #: SCP-1138 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1138 should be stored 
inside asafein Dr.  's office in Sector- . Personnel with Level 2 
clearance or higher may access the object for research purposes 
with Dr. —__'s authorization. Personnel with strong philosophical 
convictions are to be denied access. Personnel should not dispute 
the object nor question the correctness of the information contained 
within. 


Once monthly, a researcher studying philosophical concepts (either 
by duty of service or for personal education) should compose an 
article containing at least references to the object. Atleast other 
personnel should familiarize themselves with this article; it must be 
archived afterward. 


Description: SCP-1138 is perceived to be a book of philosophers' 
and/or writers' correspondence. Though the writing style always 
corresponds to a given author, the vast majority of letters are 
forgeries, with a few found to be genuine unsent drafts. The book's 
author changes based on the scientific and personal interests of the 
reader and its contents depend on reader's beliefs regarding the 
author's ideas. SCP-1138 always contains information that 
contradicts the reader's current beliefs (see addendum). In other 
words, the reader, thinking that a philosopher adhered to a specific 
opinion, will find letters expressing ideas that directly contradict his, 
her, or its beliefs, written out passionately and in great detail. If the 
reader has no concerns for philosophical concepts, SCP-1138 will 
contain letters from people the reader respects (up to his or her 
parents), criticizing his, her, or its life position. 


Handling and reading the books has various effects. Readers who 
completely share the presumed author's views fall into a prolonged 


depression that they compare to being betrayed by a close friend. 
More open-minded individuals rejoice at first, sometimes lapsing into 
euphoria and stating that they "finally found the truth" before 
becoming absent-minded and unable to concentrate. This condition 
lasts for about a week. Professional researchers who have definite 
proof of the falsity of SCP-1138's information experience a strong 
desire to start a discussion. Should they start it, [DATA EXPUNGED] 
followed in 24 hours by an invariably lethal stroke. The theorized 
cause of this [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Currently, there is no way of finding SCP-1138's "neutral" form. In 
the presence of humans and/or animals the book retains its previous 
appearance. Handling SCP-1138 with a remote-controlled robot led 
to the book transforming to a tome of Isaac Asimov's letters in which 
he gave proof that the Three Laws of Robotics should not be used in 
robot creation. First, adherence to the laws will lead to those laws 
being broken, hence they are useless. Second, robots are more 
perfect than humans and should not be restrained in their actions 
regarding humans. The attempt was stopped; the robot and the 
remote controller used in the experiment were examined. 
Examination showed [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


If there is no scientific article written about SCP-1138 in a month, the 
object disappears and reappears in the closest library or book store 
that can theoretically contain publications of letters. Therefore, if the 
book breaks containment, researchers assigned to SCP-1138 
should monitor the news and investigate each and every 
"sensational breakthrough" in philosophy and history.
