SCP-2011-2 is a specimen of SCP-2011-1 that takes the role of the 
village shaman. SCP-2011-1 claim that SCP-2011-2 possesses the 
unique ability to communicate with their god. This ability is 
apparently used during funeral ceremonies and various random 
instances. However, there is currently no concrete evidence 
verifying the validity of SCP-2011-2's abilities. When SCP-2011-2 
appears to be near death, it will "divine" the identity of its successor 
from the existing population of SCP-2011-1. The targeted member 
gains SCP-2011-2's abilities by removing [DATA EXPUNGED], 
resulting in the death of the current SCP-2011-2, and then inserting 
[REDACTED] into its own body. Despite the extensive physical 
damage, the cadaver of the previous SCP-201 1-2 will repair itself 
fully as with other corpses and be treated identically to other 
cadavers. 


The Foundation has maintained a relatively friendly diplomatic 
relationship with the inhabitants of SCP-2011 since initial 
containment. SCP-2011-1 have never attempted to leave 
SCP-2011; Foundation personnel are viewed as intriguing visitors by 
the population. Furthermore, SCP-2011-1 have cooperated with 
learning both English and Spanish to communicate effectively with 
research personnel. SCP-2011-1 had expressed moderate distaste 
with previous attempts to study cadavers; since the termination of 
these studies, SCP-2011-1 have returned to being highly 
cooperative with Foundation staff. 


Addendum 2011-1: On / /2. , acadaver under Foundation 
research dematerialized during an attempted autopsy. The space 
previously occupied by the body was replaced by a vacuum 
immediately reoccupied by atmospheric gas, unlike typical body 
disappearances. The event produced damaging shockwaves and 
injured personnel. As this occurred, SCP-2011-2 began to suffer 
from severe full-body muscle spasms. After SCP-2011-2 recovered 
from this incident, it warned Foundation personnel against removing 


their dead from SCP-2011 for fear of angering Tlaloc, the 
Mesoamerican god of fertility worshipped by SCP-2011. 
Containment procedures updated accordingly. 


Addendum 2011-2: During the initial containment of SCP-2011, 
researchers discovered a "holy book" placed within the village's 
central temple. With permission from SCP-2011-2, Foundation staff 
have transcribed the text of the artifact into the research facility's 
database. SCP-2011-1 have assisted with the translation of the 
document. The text appears to be a collection of mythological tales 
detailing the origins of SCP-2011 and the relationship of 
SCP-2011-1 with their deity Tlaloc. 


Translated select excerpts from borrowed artifact 


"...a time of prosperity had come. The Winter 
of the Great Famine had passed, and all of 
Tezcatlipoca's cities flourished from a bountiful 
harvest, and his people grew many. New 
temples were erected in each city. These were 
dedicated to Tlaloc to honor his blessings of 
fertility. 


"Such reverence for Tlaloc displeased the 
Jeweled Turkey, Chalchiuhtotolin. Never had 
the people built shrines of such majesty for 
him. None of the priests or priestesses chose 
him as their patron. All despised or cowered 
before the plagues he gifted to the peoples of 
the world. Chalchiuhtotolin decided that, this 
time, the insufferable Tlaloc would not wallow 
in the reverence that the people so readily 
expressed for him. 


"So it was that the god of disease brooded and 
planned while the time of good fortune 
continued to pass; only the Jade Turkey was 
aware that it also waned..." 


"...war with Tlaloc came quickly and quietly, 
like the jaguar stalking through the jungle. 


Chalchiuhtotolin secretly dispersed his newest, 
foulest sickness among the great kings and 
chieftains of the people. The Jaded Turkey 
then approached Tlaloc as the god of fertility 
sat upon his heavenly throne. Just as Tlaloc 
hailed Chalchiuhtotolin, the treacherous god 
struck with an obsidian dagger. Tlaloc 
despised the idea of bloodshed between kin, 
but he had to remove the disease of the mind 
from his upstart bretheren..." 


"...had defeated the misguided 
Chalchiuhtotolin, Tlaloc pitied his brother of the 
heavens and sought to make peace with him. 
The Jaded Turkey's jealousy had overthrown 
his mind, and he refused all of Tlaloc's 
offerings. Instead, with deadly spite, 
Chalchiuhtotolin devised a curse, not for 
Tlaloc, but for his beloved priests and 
priestesses. The god of plague spoke: 'Your 
holy servants know you well, but now they 
shall know your absence— no, your undoing. 
Long have they lived luxuriously in your 
splendor, but now, they will suffer a most 
wretched life: living as corpses. Those who 
clung closest to your gift of fertility will now 
experience true suffering. Remember my rage, 
Tlaloc. See it everyday in your people.’ 


"As he spoke, his words became truth. All 
across the world, the disciples of Tlaloc were 
stricken with the vengeful curse; flesh faded 
away, and the people drove the victims of the 
Jaded Turkey away...” 


"...the cursed had gathered and began anew 
in their own city dedicated to their patron 
Tlaloc. Their god spoke to them: 'I am still with 
you, my faithful servants. | cannot fully undo 
the evil words of my kin, but | give you this 


promise: For taking the burden of a 
punishment meant to bring pain to me, your 
natural form will be returned to you as you 
walk through life towards me. Once you depart 
from this world, | shall grant you peace in the 
heavens for enduring this undeserved 
hardship.’ With this, Tlaloc returned to the 
heavens, and his promise will come to fruition 
for all of his faithful servants..."

SCP-2012: Perdidit in Tempore 


Item #: SCP-2012 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: At least one individual who is 
trained and fluent in speaking Vulgar Latin (the common language 
used during early Imperial Rome.), must be on hand at all times to 
deal with SCP-2012. Said personnel is henceforth referred to as 
Alpha-1. Alpha-1 must be trained in Imperial Roman history, with a 
strong focus on military doctrine and tactics of the early Empire. In 
addition, one period-accurate set of /orica segmentata, forged using 
only methods available to Roman blacksmiths is to be procured for 
the use of said personnel. A standard set of weaponry for an 
Imperial Auxilia cavalryman is to be provided and forged with the 
same requirements as the armor. One horse with appropriate 
Roman cavalry accoutrements is to be provided. Alpha-1 is to 
receive lessons in Roman horsemanship, mainly in riding without a 
stirrup. 


Alpha-1 is to receive extensive lessons in Roman military history 
regarding the conquests of Britain in the 110's CE. Alpha-1 is to 
receive emblems and markings of Legio Il Augusta’, including the 
reconstruction of the aquila? of Legio II Augusta. 


Another individual, designated Alpha-2, is to receive the same 
equipment, but with a training focus on the Jewish revolts during the 
Principate, specifically the Bar Kochba Revolt. Alpha-2 is to receive 
the emblem and aquila of Legio X Gemina. 


A third individual, designated Alpha-3, is to receive the same 
equipment as the others, but with a training focus on the Parthian 
Empire wars of the 160's CE. Alpha-3 is to receive the emblems and 
aquila of Legio | Minervia. 


During the last week of February, Foundation personnel are to close 


off the region of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, 
Scotland where SCP-2012 can appear, using the cover story of 
wildlife surveys. 


The corresponding areas in the Negev Desert, Israel; and Khosrov 
State Reserve, Armenia; are to be monitored closely, due to the 
inability to close off such areas. 


At the beginning of a Marian Event, Alpha-1 is to ride to the position 
of SCP-2012, and claim to be a member of the Auxilia cavalry of 
Legio Il Augusta. Alpha-1 is to claim that Legio Il Augusta has been 
massacred in an ambush, and that the standing orders are for Legio 
IX Hispana to remain in their current position, and construct 
fortifications in preparation for a defense. Alpha-1 is ordered to use 
any means necessary to convince SCP-2012-1 of the necessity of 
this maneuver. 


If Alpha-1 does not return within the designated window of time of 10 
hours, a Mobile Task Force will be deployed to contain SCP-2012 by 
force. 


The same procedure applies for Alpha-2 and Alpha-3, with the 
suitable adjustments in region and original legion. 


Regardless of the means of containment, surveillance of SCP-2012 
during its appearance is to be maintained at all times. 


Description: SCP-2012 is a collective designation that refers to the 
members of Legio IX Hispana, an Imperial Roman legion that 
disappeared from the historical record in the late 100's CE. The 
reason for this disappearance from the historical record is currently 
still a matter of considerable debate. 


During the beginning of March, SCP-2012 can manifest in three 
different regions of the world: Loch Lomond and the Trossachs 
National Park, Scotland; Khosrov State Reserve, Armenia; and the 
Negev Desert, Israel. This is henceforth referred to as a Marian 
Event. During a Marian Event, members of SCP-2012 appear, often 
accompanied by the camp-followers and other personnel common to 
a Roman legion. The members of the legion will express 
considerable disorientation as to their location, but will reiterate their 


insistence that they are still in the late 100's CE. 


SCP-2012 instances will tend to be scattered, and can appear in 
multiple locations during one manifestation event, but instances are 
never repeated in the different locations in which SCP-2012 can 
manifest. 


SCP-2012-1 refers to , the commander of 
SCP-2012. Personnel engaging in containment of SCP-2012 are to 
make contact with SCP-2012-1 in order to convince SCP-2012 to 
remain in its position, or other suitable officers at the other locations 
in which SCP-2012-1 is not present. 


Approximately one week following the beginning of a Marian Event, 
it will abruptly disappear, taking any and all equipment with it. 
SCP-2012 can disappear at any time, and the members of it do not 
seem to be aware of this impending disappearance, or the general 
circumstances of their situation. 


Regardless of how many members are lost during containment, 
SCP-2012 will reappear every single year. SCP-2012 instances do 
not carry over memories from the prior year. 


Since the Foundation began containment of SCP-2012 in _, the 
use of force has only been required in occasions. Cover stories 
were maintained on the grounds of military drilling. 


Addendum: The following is a relevant conversation in which 
Alpha-1 attempted to discover the origin of SCP-2012's anomalous 
nature. It has been translated from the original Vulgar Latin. 


SCP-2012-1: ...but still, | feel strange. To be honest, a 
lot of the men haven't been feeling right. You know, | had 
a memory of fighting in Judaea, putting down Jews. Can 
you imagine that? | must be going insane. We've never 
been stationed anywhere near there, but yet, | clearly 
remember fighting there for some reason. 


Alpha-1: Perhaps it's the stress of the uprisings. 


SCP-2012-1: Aye, perhaps. | can't get an incident out of 


my head though. Some damned barbaric priests howling 
at us from atop their chariots as we went into battle. For 
some reason, | kept seeing them as Parthian heavy 
chariots, with those characteristic scythed blades. | had 
to blink a few times to get that vision out of my head. | 
don't understand what's going on. 


Alpha-1: | will make sure to put in a prayer for Asclepius 
for you, sir. 


During a different Marian Event, Alpha-2 was similarly ordered to 
discover the origin of SCP-2012. SCP-2012-1 had manifested in the 
Negev Desert, Israel, during this Marian Event. 


SCP-2012-1: And yet, | can't get it out of my head. 
Those accursed memories of being ambushed by a 
Pictish rebellion. We've never been stationed in 
Britannia. | can scarcely remember any information 
about Britannia, as I've never cared for reading about 
those other conquests. | can remember it so clearly 
though. 


Alpha-2: That is indeed odd, sir. 


SCP-2012-1: And you know what's the strangest thing? | 
couldn't stop seeing those Jewish zealots, and thinking 
of Parthian foot infantry. I've never seen Parthian foot 
infantry, but when | saw those soldiers, | couldn't stop 
thinking of how much they reminded me of the old 
Parthian wars. See, there | go again. | have no 
experience in the Parthian wars, but they seem to be old 
wars to me. We haven't even fought the Parthians since 
Trajan, but in those memories, it's not Trajan that's flying 
on those standards. It's some other emperor that | don't 
even recognize. 


Alpha-2: | will make sure to put in a prayer for Asclepius 
for you, sir.

SCP-2013: The Reptilian Meme 


Item #: SCP-2013 
Object Class: Keter Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2013 is to be treated 
through global dispersal of an aerosolized version of the Cardiff 
Compound, distributed via Foundation-owned aircraft, disguised as 
normal aircraft trails. Foundation employees affected by SCP-2013 
are to be subject to regular Class-C Amnestic administration to treat 
infection. Individuals refusing treatment are to be administered 
Class-A amnestics and have their positions at the Foundation 
terminated. 


All previous documentation regarding SCP-2013 has been archived 
for the sake of posterity. To view previous containment procedures, 
please input password: 


Show Previous Containment Procedures 


All instances of SCP-2013-A currently holding positions 
within any world government are to be neutralized at any 
cost. Wild instances of SCP-2013-A, as well as all 
instances of SCP-2013-B, are to be destroyed using 
Parker-class weaponry. Information about SCP-2013 is 
to be disseminated publicly via television and radio 
broadcasts, informative pamphlets, and through various 
new media such as online video sharing sites and blogs. 


Foundation personnel are encouraged to publish their 
findings on SCP-2013 publicly in any manner possible, to 
weaken the overall power of SCP-2013-A, and the 
effectiveness of SCP-2013-B. Once approximately 20% 
global awareness of SCP-2013 has been reached, the 
Hereford Protocol is to be carried out. 


Description: SCP-2013 refers to a Renard Class memetic agent. 
SCP-2013 can be spread via visual, auditory or tactile! vectors, and 
has an infection rate of approximately 72%. 


SCP-2013 causes affected individuals to develop a belief in 
SCP-2013-A. SCP-2013-A is allegedly an extraterrestrial race that 
has infiltrated various world governments, including the USA, United 
Kingdom, Iran, Russia, and North Korea. Individuals affected by 
SCP-2013 cannot be cured, but can be treated through regular 
amnestic consumption or administration. Further infection has been 
prevented by global dispersal of the Cardiff Compound. Currently, 
less than 1% of the population of planet Earth believes in the 
existence of SCP-2013-A, with the highest concentration being in 
the United States, where 4% believe in the existence of SCP-2013- 
A. 


SCP-2013-A instances were previously believed to be actual 
anomalies, as opposed to delusions caused by SCP-2013. For
