SCP-1662: Paupers' Post 


Item #: SCP-1662 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All secure facilities are to 
investigate any police reports matching the description of SCP-1662 
instances. Should an SCP-1662 instance be identified, the closest 
secure facility is to retrieve and temporarily contain the recovered 
instance until a permanent transfer to Site-91 is possible. 


SCP-1662-A through -D are to be kept in separate 3m x 3m x 2.5m 
cells of 8.8cm thick transparent armor lined in one-way laminate. 
Each cell is to be fit with an electronic lock, with exits converging 
into a single hallway. This hallway is to be patrolled by four (4) 
armed security guards, who are to be rotated every six (6) hours. 
Guards are to be armed with shotguns with bean bag rounds and 
collapsible batons for use in the event of an attempted containment 
breach. 


Each instance is to be fit with a locked metal ring wrapped around 
their torso to prevent access to compartments, with keys distributed 
to each on-duty guard. In the event that animal entities or 
SCP-1662-1 instances are discovered within the compartments of 
SCP-1662-A through -D, they are to be disposed of for space 
preservation. 


Instances are to receive personal inspections every two (2) weeks 
for signs of disrepair. Should an instance show damage to the point 
that locomotion is impossible or complain of any difficulties during 
the inspection, attempts are to be made to repair any damage 
sustained by the instances. 


For the purposes of comfort, each cell has been fit with one (1) bed. 
Additionally, music may be played for two (2) hours as a reward for 
good behavior or cooperation. 


Description: SCP-1662 is a group of an unknown number of 
entities identifying as "Paupers' Post". These entities are 
autonomous, humanoid figures of stainless steel wire mesh, each 
possessing some form of marking on their body bearing the same 
name. Instances display signs of sapience, and possess the ability 
to write in and understand various languages, which vary based 
mostly on the region the instance inhabits. Instances also appear to 
possess the knowledge of an at this time untranslated written code, 
consisting of dots, various shapes, and the numbers zero (0) 
through seven (7) that is presumably used for communication 
between instances. Instances possess disparities in appearance, 
including height, proportion, and structural damage; however, all 
instances have a straight, compartmentalized torso, which are 
divided up into two (2) sections which may vary in orientation. 


SCP-1662 instances possess the ability to create, through an 
unknown means, various species of pigeon, rat, and squirrel native 
to the general area it occupies, as well as the ability to command 
and communicate with these animals through subtle movements 
and percussive cues. These animals have been observed emerging 
from SCP-1662 compartments, but the method of creation itself has 
yet to be observed. Despite their behavioral abnormalities, autopsies 
have revealed no physical anomalies within these animals. 


SCP-1662 will use these animals to examine an unspecified area for 
any individuals who meet the criteria for SCP-1662-1 delivery 
through the observation of their daily lives. Once an individual has 
been identified, these animals will imprint upon the individual 
through an unknown means, and will demonstrate the ability to 
locate an imprinted individual regardless of spacial separation. 
SCP-1662 will then follow the imprinted individual and attempt to 
deliver SCP-1662-1 personally, until the point that delivery is made 
or the individual no longer fulfills the requirements. Should 
SCP-1662 be incapable of delivering SCP-1662-1 itself, an animal 
may perform the delivery in its place. 


SCP-1662-1 are letters held and delivered by SCP-1662 instances 
to other individuals. SCP-1662-1 instances recovered to date have 
usually arrived sealed within various containers, including cardboard 
boxes, envelopes, manila folders, and mailing tubes; regardless of 


the form, each container invariably lacks any form of returning 
address, excluding the identifying "Paupers' Post" label. Each letter 
contains similar, hand-written sonnets with erratically varying 
themes, some of which are impossible to identify. Handwriting within 
SCP-1662-1 stays consistent among individual SCP-1662 entities, 
suggesting that SCP-1662 instances write SCP-1662-1 themselves. 


The delivery of SCP-1662-1 appears to require a specific set of 
requirements: firstly, individuals must be both, by urban standards, 
homeless and unemployed in order to receive a letter. Once an 
instance of SCP-1662 has identified an individual who meets these 
prerequisites, the instance will apparently imprint upon the 
individual, until the point that the delivery has been made. Secondly, 
specific recipients of SCP-1662-1 are the only individuals who will 
experience an effect, as non-recipients who read the contents of 
SCP-1662-1 do not receive any anomalous side-effects. Despite the 
subject matter, SCP-1662-1 recipients describe the contents as 
uplifting, with individuals experiencing an increase in optimism for up 
to five (5) weeks following the reading of SCP-1662-1. Additionally, 
approximately 95% of recipients find employment and housing 
following one (1) month of having read SCP-1662. 


SCP-1662 instances do not appear to dwell within one area for long, 
instead traveling long distances by foot, private automobile, or public 
transportation in order to deliver SCP-1662-1. When resting in a 
specific area, SCP-1662 will typically take refuge at homeless 
shelters or other areas commonly occupied by the homeless, 
presumably for the purposes of blending in and identifying new 
targets. As SCP-1662 instances lack the ability to speak, it is 
assumed contact with individuals is limited except for the delivery of 
letters. Instances recovered so far are attired in clothing that is both 
thick and heavy, using items such as coats, boots, gloves, hats and 
facewear to cover exposed areas, with extra material (most 
commonly bandages) concealing leftover parts. At least one piece of 
clothing per instance is prominently branded with the words 
"Paupers' Post", usually on the back of torso wear, in the primary 
language of the area in which the instance was operating. 


Instances: As of 05/12/11, four (4) SCP-1662 instances have been 
contained, each earning the designations SCP-1662-A through -D:

All contained instances of SCP-1662, excluding SCP-1662-D, have 
been reluctant to communicate; at times which SCP-1662-A through 
-C have communicated, each instance has refused to discuss 
SCP-1662. Any details that have been revealed have been done so 
by SCP-1662-D, with significant variations from evidence recovered 
by the Foundation. Due to this, the reliability of SCP-1662-D's 
testimony is uncertain. 


Interview 1662-A: Following a noise complaint, SCP-1662-D was 
found within an apartment complex in , Canada. SCP-1662-D 
was contained and immediately interrogated by Dr. 


Due to the nature of SCP-1662, all responses by SCP-1662-D are 
written, and all responses have been transcribed as they were 
written. 


SCP-1662-D: Hey man, what the shit?! | didn't do 
anything! 


Dr. : Calm down, please. My name is Dr. , and 
I'd like to ask you a few questions. 


SCP-1662-D: No, man! You just pulled me out of my 
house in the middle of the night, and you want to ask me 
some questions?! | want to ask you some questions!! 


Dr. : You'll be given the opportunity to ask some 
questions after you've answered mine. | want to talk to 
you about the Paupers' Post. 


At this time, SCP-1662-D pauses for approximately two 
minutes. 


SCP-1662-D: I'm no hippie. 
Dr. : Excuse me? 
SCP-1662-D: I'm not with those crazy beatnik hippies. 


Dr. : I'll make a note of that. Can you tell me 
anything about the organization itself? 


SCP-1662-D: What organization? 
Dr. : That's what the Paupers' Post is, is it not? 


SCP-1662-D appears to laugh inaudibly before 
responding. 


SCP-1662-D: Boy, that's funny. | think you've got the 
wrong idea, man. 


Dr. : Can you elaborate? 


SCP-1662-D: It's just a bunch of us Metal Mailmen 
looking for a purpose. They aren't even organized. 


Dr. : Then how do they know what to do? Is it 
innate? 


SCP-1662-D: Well, it sorta started like a little club, or so 
the legend goes. Maurice, Dante, and Sebastian started 
it all. Then they split up, started writing a bunch of us. 
Now they just do it themselves, driven by the cause and 
the same name. 


Dr. : And are the three you named like you? 
SCP-1662-D: You mean like weird wire dudes? 
Dr. : Yes. 


SCP-1662-D: Yeah. | heard they all looked the same, 
though. | don't know what happened with all of us. 


Dr. : And you said you weren't with the Paupers' 
Post? 


SCP-1662-D: No way, man. I've got better things to do 
than walk around the world spreading peace. I've got a 
job, and HBO. 

Dr. : A job? 

SCP-1662-D: | collect scrap. 


At this time, Dr. takes some time to write down all 
that's been said. One minute into Dr. 's writing, 
SCP-1662-D re-initiates conversation. 


SCP-1662-D: Can | ask my question now? 
Dr. : | can't promise | can answer it, but sure. 


SCP-1662-D: I'm not going home, am |? 


Dr. : I'm afraid not.

SCP-1663: Containment Site 1663-0 


Item #: SCP-1663 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Data pertaining to research 
performed at Containment Site 1663-0 may only be disseminated to 
personnel assigned to Containment Site 1663-0 or with prior 
permission from at least two (2) senior researchers. Duty 
assignments at Containment Site 1663-0 are not to exceed two (2) 
weeks in length, and all personnel must be administered Class B 
amnestics prior to being transferred off-site. 


Description: SCP-1663 is the special duty assignment for 
personnel assigned to Containment Site 1663-0, located near 
[REDACTED]. The research performed at Containment Site 1663-0 
is considered a Euclid-class infohazard, thus necessitating the 
extraordinary containment requirements outlined in this document. 


The data isolation of SCP-1663 was approved on [REDACTED] by 
the then-retiring O5- , whose immediate retirement and subsequent 
mandatory amnestic administration was considered not in violation 
of standing regulations prohibiting the exposure of O5 Council 
members to SCP objects. 


Since then, __() separate retiring O5 Council members have 
upheld the established containment procedures for SCP-1663. 


Personnel assigned to SCP-1663 may continue on to the Additional 
Documentation for SCP-1663 Personnel.

Additional Documentation For SCP-1663 Personnel 


Item #: SCP-Ksi-Lambda-0 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-Ksi-Lambda-0 is 
contained in a secure locker at Containment Site 1663-0. 
Dissemination of the existence of SCP-Ksi-Lambda-0 or any 
information related to it is forbidden as per SCP-1663 protocols, and 
personnel assigned to SCP-1663 or SCP-Ksi-Lambda-0 must be 
administered Class B amnestics prior to being transferred off-site 
following the maximum allowed assignment length of two (2) weeks. 


Description: SCP-Ksi-Lambda-0 is a Lady Liberty five-dollar coin 
minted in 1880, consisting primarily of gold with trace impurities of 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. Its anomalous effect is triggered whenever any 
human subject observes, touches, or is otherwise informed of SCP- 
Ksi-Lambda-0's existence. The nature of this object does not need 
to be explained; simply identifying it by name is sufficient. 


Within approximately three (3) weeks of exposure to SCP-Ksi- 
Lambda-0, affected subjects begin to develop a pathological 
revulsion to the ownership, restraint, or containment of any material 
wealth. Affected subjects will begin by donating or gifting all of their 
possessions, while attempting to convince others to relinquish their 
possessions. After approximately six (6) weeks, subjects will show 
increasing hostility towards others with material possessions, 
eventually culminating with a refusal to take possession of any 
material whatsoever, even food or water, after which subjects 
typically dehydrate and starve unless sedated and given sustenance 
intravenously. The only known preventative measure is to administer 
an amnestic of at least Class B strength prior to manifestation of 
initial symptoms. 


SCP-Ksi-Lambda-0 was re-designated following O5- 's attempt to 
order the release of all SCP objects contained worldwide. 
Fortunately, O5- was the only O5 Council member with knowledge 


of SCP-Ksi-Lambda-0 at the time, and was successfully terminated 
after his order was rescinded by other O5 Council members. At the 
time, SCP-Ksi-Lambda-0 was designated SCP-[REDACTED]; its 
current designation was specifically created to remove it from 
standard Foundation object databases and to prevent its positive 
identification by any personnel other than those at Containment Site 
1663-0. 


SCP-Ksi-Lambda-0's current containment procedures are to be 
reviewed by retiring O5 Council members within two (2) weeks of 
their retirement and mandatory amnestic administration. To date, 

() retiring O5 council members briefed on SCP-Ksi-Lambda-0 have 
unanimously chosen to uphold the existing containment procedures. 


SCP-1664: Living Ink 


Item #: SCP-1664 
Object Class: Safe Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: /PROCEDURES UPDATED AS OF 
05-06-12 FOLLOWING NEW INFORMATION] 

No radio devices or system networks are to be utilised within a 
100m radius of SCP-1664's holding cells. All Specimens of 
SCP-1664 have been relocated to Site-298 for security reasons. 


Access to SCP-1664 specimens is permitted only to staff members 
possessing Level 3 clearance and above. SCP-1664-1 through -5 
are contained in hermetically sealed capsules located in 
Containment cell 1664-298-B5. Specimen -6 is contained in an A4 
sheet of paper within Containment cell 1664-298-B6. Specimens -7 
and -8 are contained in separate airtight containment cells and 
surrounded by Class 8 Magnetic Field Gates. Any personnel 
interacting with SCP-1664 must be outfitted in Type 4 HazMat suits. 
All specimens must be monitored at all times for signs of unusual 
activity. In the event of an emergency, Protocol G-1664-8369-02 
may be initiated by a Level 4/1664 supervisor, whereupon all areas 
containing samples of SCP-1664 will be exposed to an 
electromagnetic field of 10,000 G until a stable containment state 
has been achieved.
