what should be possible for a person of her perceived age and 
physical dimensions, and has been shown moving loads in excess 
of 200kg with little physical strain, and moving at speeds in excess 
of 70km/h. SCP-352 can recover from wounds that would be lethal 
to a human being, including decapitation and disemboweling. This 
regeneration can take between several days to several weeks, 
depending on severity. Internally, SCP-352 appears to be a normal 
human woman, with muscles, bones and organs in a state 
consistent with advanced age. Testing done on tissue samples has 
been inconclusive. 


SCP-352 is capable of growing very thin, hair-like strands from any 
part of her body, apparently at will. These strands can grow several 
metres in an hour, and appear to be at least partially under the 
control of SCP-352. They have been observed “crawling” along 
floors and up walls and other structures. These hairs are clear and 
nearly invisible to the naked eye, and appear to be slightly weaker 
than standard human hair. The strands are also coated in a thin 
layer of chemical enzyme identical to the enzyme in the saliva of 
SCP-352. 


SCP-352 produces an enzyme that is most concentrated in the 
saliva and hair, but is present in all bodily tissues of SCP-352. How 
it is produced and its exact chemical make-up are unknown. This 
enzyme reacts on contact with human tissue and rapidly attacks the 
nervous system. Symptoms manifest almost immediately, and 
include hallucinations, euphoria, suppression of cognitive or “logical” 
thinking, and suppression of pain receptors. This state persists for 
several days with mild exposure, and can become permanent with 
high exposure. Bites from SCP-352 lead to high exposure in 99.9% 
of cases. 


SCP-352 appears to subsist on a carnivorous diet, with a strong 
preference for human flesh. SCP-352 will create a “web” of hair, and 
wait for prey to become exposed to the enzyme and become more 
docile. SCP-352 will often remove and eat the limbs of a prey item to 
prevent it from wandering away, and can take several days to fully 
devour prey. Humans have been observed to still be in a euphoric 
state, and have no knowledge of the outside world even as they 
suffer the loss of limbs and other bodily tissue.

SCP-2945 was discovered in , Vermont, at the home of 32- 
year-old OQ  Svennson, who was reported as missing on 

12/21/20 .A trail of printed images in the shape of left footprints 
became a major clue in the investigation. The trail led down 

Street and towards a nearby wood before abruptly ending. Traces of 
an unknown multicolored substance visually resembling matte paint 
were also found along the trail. Local authorities conducted a 
widespread search over a 50km radius from where the trail 
terminated; however, Svennson's body remains unaccounted for. 


Several residents of Street where Svennson's trail was found 
reported hearing music at a loud volume outside their homes for a 
short period of time on the night of the disappearance. T ,a 
close relative of Svennson, also gave an account to the police. She 
stated that Svennson has recently been "acting weird, like he'd seen 
some serious shit, like, fucked-up serious". She goes on to say that 
his paranoid behavior gradually increased until his disappearance. 


An embedded Foundation agent discovered the human-shaped USB 
hub connected to Svennson's home computer, noting that a printer 
was linked to the object's left foot. The hub was also connected to 
an internet modem, a fully-charged Apple iPod and a Wacom 


graphics tablet. Establishing a connection between the attached 
devices and the circumstances of Svennson's trail, the USB hub 
was confiscated by the Foundation, with further testing being 
required to grant the object SCP classification.

Footnotes 

1. Medical staff reported D-6789 as suffering from the combined loss 
of approx. 30% blood and body water. It is thought that the two 
substances were used to create the printed images, however the 
method by which this process occurred is not yet known. 

2. A slight decrease in volume occurred, however this is likely due to 
the ring finger's tendency to flex along with the little finger. 

3. No such company was found at the printed address. Following an 
extensive global search, "Sonstern Electronics, Inc." is not known to 
exist to the Foundation's knowledge. Further research into the 
existence and legitimacy of the company and its products is 
ongoing.

SCP-2946: Overly Large E. Coli 


Item #: SCP-2946 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2946 is to be kept in a 
125 cubic meter containment tank, with light, durable metal edging 
and plate glass sides. The bottom should be constructed with 5 
drainage channels, which are to remain sealed until completion of 
protein expression. These drains will be connected to a protein vat. 
4 sterile tanks, capable of holding 200,000 liters of broth, are to be 
attached to the tank via sterile PVC pipes. Pipes should be no more 
than 15 cms in diameter, and should have both manual and 
mechanically controlled valves. Broth tanks shall be filled with 
nutrient broth composed of the following ingredients: 


* 2% Peptone 

0.5% Yeast Extract 

* 100 mM NaCl 

* 25 mM KCl 

¢ 150 mM MgClo 

* 150 mM MgSOQ4 

¢ 200 mM Glucose 
Antibiotics as needed. 


On the east and west sides of the tank, respectively, a cell sorter 
and large buffer basin should be constructed and attachable via 
appropriately sized PVC pipes. The tank shall be placed on top of a 
large-scale shaking mechanism, and rotated at a constant 135 rpm. 
Temperature should be kept at a constant 37 °C until the end of 
each 5 replication cycle period. 


Glucose concentrations are to be monitored regularly. If 
concentrations fall below predetermined levels, glucose is to be 
added until they reach acceptable standards. Every 5 replication 
cycles, glucose concentrations are allowed to fall to 0. The tank is to 


be sealed immediately, temperatures lowered to 30 °C, shaker set to 
300 rpm, and 100 mM IPTG added. The tank is to remain in this 
state for the next 4 days. At the end of 4 days, all broth is to be 
drained from the tank. 


The tank is to be flushed with phosphate buffer. The cell sorter is 
attached, and all but 8 individuals removed from the tank. 


Researchers working with or around SCP-2946 in non- 
transformation periods are to observe BSL-2 standard protocols. 


In the event of a containment breach, entrapped personnel are to be 
submerged repeatedly in a tank of lysozyme1, EDTA, and hypotonic 
conditions. 


During transformation procedures, all personnel are to wear BSL-3 
standard protective gear. In the event that the entity is exposed to 
any foreign DNA other than the designated plasmid, a level 3 purge 
is to be initiated, and the containment tank flooded with 
concentrated hydrochloric acid. Research requests for exposing 
SCP-2946 to foreign genetic material require level 4 approval. 


+Show extended explanation for containment procedures 


Under normal growth conditions, SCP-2946 can reach 
densities of roughly 3.4x10° cells per 125,000 liters of 
broth after 5 doubling periods. When cells reach this 
density within the tank, they become entangled and 
immobilized by the surrounding cells, minimizing the 
chance of a breach event, or self rupture. It is at this 
point that glucose input is reduced to 0, and 
concentrations allowed to fall all the way to zero. 


Absence of glucose subsequently facilitates the 
activation of the plasmid encoded "lac" promotor2, 
initiating production of the desired protein. To further 
amplify expression, IPTG3 is added in large 
concentrations. Due to the volume of the containment 
tank, 3-6 days of the conditions described in the 
containment procedure are required to accumulate 
appreciable protein quantities for analysis. 


Once all broth has been drained from the containment 
tank, the previously described basin, containing 
phosphate buffer and a chelating agent, are attached to 
the tank. SCP-2946 cells will attach to surfaces when 
exposed to dry air, and can be difficult to remove. Use of 
a chelating agent, such as EDTA, removes the protein 
receptors and weak force interactions facilitating this 
attachment. Furthermore, once they've been detached 
from the surface, specimens are sorted via a large scale 
cell sorter, based on the intensity of their fluorescence, 
and the size and number of cellular structures. 


Individuals that fluoresce more intensely, and have large, 
numerous cellular structures are considered "more fit" for 
continued culture. 8 of these specimens are returned to 
the tank, while the rest are removed and ruptured for 
internal analysis and nutrient recycling. The remaining 8 
individuals are prepped for standard bacterial 
transformation, and inoculated with a fresh plasmid 
containing a different resistance marker from the 
previous entry. 


SCP-2946 is not to be combined with SCP-3536. 


Description: SCP-2946 is a strain of Escherichia coli with a radius 
of 10 cm, and a length of 40 cm4. In both nutrient broth, and dry air, 
individual cells have a large range of pigmentations, and actively 
fluoresce®. Individual cells may possess 1 or 2 flagella® allowing 
them to swim through the tank in less dense conditions. Specimens 
display impressive leaping capabilities, able to propel themselves 
from a liquid environment at speeds of near 100 km/h to heights of 
30 m or more with the use of these flagella. SCP-2946 doubles once 
every 2 weeks, with the two subsequent specimens expressing 
different pigmentation and fluorescence from the original. 


Each cell appears to defy certain biological principles derived from 
the Square Cube Law’ due to its relatively large size, and should 
not be able to metabolically sustain themselves, much less replicate 
every 2 weeks. Furthermore, when exposed to certain conditions, 
metabolic rate, protein synthesis, and replication increase at an 
exponential rate, often resulting in lysis. Despite identical membrane
