SCP-1791: Mobile Homes 


Item #: SCP-1791 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Epsilon-7 
("Godmothers") are to take instances of SCP-1791-X into custody 
for containment in Unit 16 at Bio-Research Area-12. Instances of 
SCP-1791-X should be sedated upon contact and removed from 
their residence immediately. After containment, normal structure and 
content of the residence of each instance must be confirmed before 
the area may be opened to occupation by civilians. 


All instances of SCP-1791-X are to be housed in separate Standard 
Humanoid Containment Cells. All areas of the cells must be under 
camera surveillance at all times, and cells may not contain doors 
except the entrance door and the door to an instance of SCP-1791- 
X-1. Instances may request reading materials on a monthly basis 
(subject to approval by Research Head ), but are not permitted 
to have casual contact with staff members. No instance of 
SCP-1791-X is to be informed of the existence of other instances. 
Nine (9) complete instances of SCP-1791 have been located and 
contained as of / / 


The potential entity designated SCP-1791-Omega has yet to be 
located or contained. 


Description: SCP-1791-A through -J (collectively designated 
SCP-1791-X) are human biological siblings, each of whom are 
associated with an instance of a spatial anomaly designated 
SCP-1791-X-1.1 When surveyed briefly, the residence of an 
instance of SCP-1791-X appears to be an unremarkable personal 
living space. However, each residence contains an unrecorded door 
in the least-used portion of the home—generally the back of a 
storage closet or guest bedroom. The door invariably leads to an 
instance of SCP-1791-X-1, an anomalous space resembling the 


living quarters of a moderately afflicted compulsive hoarder. The 
portion of this space nearest the entryway will contain a large 
quantity of an instance of SCP-1791-X's personal artifacts; this 
collection includes both distinct objects and duplicates of objects 
currently in use by the instance.2 


The anomalous space is arranged in a roughly 12° logarithmic 
spiral, containing an average of seven (7) individual successive 
chambers.’ The contents of each chamber are indistinguishable 
from the personal effects used in successively earlier years of an 
instance of SCP-1791-X’s life, from the present nearest the door 
regressing towards infancy at greater depths. Any object which is 
retained over a long period of the instance's life will be present, 
often more than once, in more than one chamber. The exact content 
of SCP-1791-X-1 varies by instance and increases with time. The 
length of the spiral is correlated with the age, number of former 
residences, and quantity of belongings amassed by each instance of 
SCP-1791-X: the youngest instance has a corresponding space of 
only four (4) chambers in a spiral 87 m in length, while the oldest 
has a corresponding space of 19 chambers and 354 m. 


The final chamber, situated at the central terminus of the spiral, is an 
unfurnished space measuring roughly .7m x .7m x 1.6 m, composed 
entirely of uterine tissue. Ambient temperature averages 37.9 °C. 
Analysis indicates that the chamber’s flesh is a probable genetic 
match to that of SCP-1791-X’s biological mother. 


Current testing data suggests that each instance of SCP-1791-X 
"carries" its own instance of SCP-1791-X-1 with it to wherever it 
resides. The parameters by which residence is determined is 
unclear, but all instances of SCP-1791-X-1 have thus far vanished 
from their former location and appeared within the containment cell 
of its corresponding instance of SCP-1791-X within one month of 
containment; subjects experience varying levels of agitation and 
anxiety during extended separation from their instance of 
SCP-1791-X-1. 


Foundation attempts to locate SCP-1791-X’s biological mother, 
designated SCP-1791-Omega, have thus far proved unsuccessful. 
Search efforts are ongoing. 


Addendum 3.1.05.a, / / : Records indicate that all instances of 
SCP-1791-X were adopted by persons employed by the United 
States Armed Forces in early infancy from various local public care 
services, and lived with their adoptive parents until the deaths of 
said caretakers, generally in SCP-1791-X’s late teens. Four 
instances of SCP-1791-X report sleeping within the womb chamber 
at least once a week. Two instances report not entering SCP-1791 
on a regular basis, but finding its presence "comforting". Before his 
containment, SCP-1791-H was apparently ignorant of SCP-1791- 
H-1’s presence in his apartment, and responded to this information 
with extreme distress, with symptoms including intermittent panic 
coupled with prolonged nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and weeping. 
SCP-1791-H was previously unaware that he was adopted. 


Addendum 7.3.02.f, / / : The outermost chamber of SCP-1791- 
A-1 has taken on the characteristics of SCP-1791-A's former 
containment cell at Site-19, including eleven functioning surveillance 
cameras. The receiving location of the information being recorded 
has yet to be determined. Upon questioning, SCP-1791-A professes 
ignorance, but becomes agitated at the suggestion of further 
"intrusion" by researchers, and has repeatedly described SCP-1791- 
A-1 as "the only place that has ever really felt like home". 


Addendum 14.3.07.a, / / 
Interviewed: SCP-1791-B, Mme. 
Interviewer: Agent J. Munevar, supervised by Dr. N 


Foreword: As SCP-1791-B has been in Foundation 
custody for years and has been observed to be 
generally docile and cooperative, Dr. N authorized 
Agent Munevar to complete the practical portion of his 
interview proceaure training with the subject. Subject is 
an elderly French female. The following is an excerpt 
from Agent Munevar's interview with SCP-1791-B. 


<Begin Log> 


SCP-1791-B: | found Michel in there once, you know. 
Sitting in a little patch of garbage that was pretending to 


be our parlor from Rouen. Reading the paper. 
Agent Munevar: How did you respond? 


SCP-1791-B: (Pause, 4 seconds) | beat him with the— 
the fake of—the china casserole dish that he had given 
me for my birthday until the thing shattered in my hands. 
His face. My God. | have never been home since. 


Agent Munevar: To Rouen? 


SCP-1791-B: No. (Pause, 9 seconds. SCP-1791-B picks 
cigar wrapper from her tongue.) \diot. 


Agent Munevar: Then "home" is— 


SCP-1791-B : Home is the dog that | cannot be rid of. 
Home is what will follow me if | ever leave this place. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Since her containment, SCP-1791- 
B is the only instance of SCP-1791-X that has not 
entered its corresponding instance of SCP-1791-X-1.

SCP-1792: Viral Video 


Item #: SCP-1792 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1792 in 
physical media are to be kept in a locked room, away from human 
contact. Recordings of SCP-1792 are not to be played, and devices 
it has been played on are to remain disconnected from power 
sources and display devices. Images produced by SCP-1792 are to 
be covered at all times; visual contact, direct or indirect, is 
prohibited. 


Individuals suspected to have viewed SCP-1792 are to be 
contained, for their safety and the safety of others. They are not to 
be allowed any objects with which they may injure themselves or 
others, and may only communicate with Class D personnel verbally; 
visual and digital modes of communication are expressly forbidden. 
Those infected by SCP-1792 are also to be monitored closely at all 
times, and are to be stopped if they begin to inflict self-harm or other 
suspicious activity. Recording of the subjects is prohibited. 


Everything related to SCP-1792, living or not, is to be stored in 
facilities without any SCP specimens demonstrating telepathic 
abilities, to prevent possible contamination. Any facility containing an 
instance of SCP-1792 is considered unsafe for such entities, and 
suspected instances of SCP-1792 are not to be brought to any 
facility with such subjects already present. 


Description: SCP-1792 appears to be a fragment of video footage 
with mind-affecting properties; none who view it are able to 
coherently describe what they saw, and many begin exhibiting 
strange behavior after exposure. Reactions to viewings of SCP-1792 
have varied immensely. Strong emotional responses are not 
uncommon; many appear to be perturbed or distraught by what they 
saw, and fearfulness, frustration, contentment, hysteria, giddiness, 


and severe melancholia, among other reactions, have all been seen 
in those exposed to SCP-1792s. 


Not all exposed to SCP-1792 exhibit intense reactions; many give 
little or no response to it, replying in vague, noncommittal answers 
when questioned. More than one subject has viewed SCP-1792 and 
later expressed no recollection of it at all; polygraph tests confirmed 
their conviction in this statement. Researchers were able to confirm 
that these individuals did in fact view SCP-1792, however. No cause 
for the widely-varying responses has been discovered as of this 
time. 


SCP-1792's other notable quality is its self-propagation. When a 
tape or disc containing SCP-1792 is inserted into a device to play 
the contents, it infects the device; all future media played on the 
device will have SCP-1792 recorded onto them, playing it back 
instead of their original contents. These copies also display the 
infectious behavior; testing so far has not discovered a limit to its 
self-propagation, with all generations producing media containing 
SCP-1792. 


The exact extent to which this contagious behavior extends is 
unknown; display devices such as televisions used to play 
SCP-1792 do not carry the infection, but a device has SCP-1792 
inserted then ejected from without playing will still be contaminated, 
implying immediate spread upon contact. Experiments confirm that 
SCP-1792 can spread outside of its original medium; the number of 
vectors that SCP-1792 can be transmitted by is unknown. 


There is no widespread consensus on SCP-1792's origin or purpose 
at this time; one hypothesis is that SCP-1792 exists mainly to 
propagate itself, like a virus, with its effects on viewers an 
unintended side-effect. Others contest this, claiming that the 
universal inability to describe SCP-1792's content and that it affects 
so many viewers at all signify some reason for these effects. 


+ List of SCP-1792 Instances 
Item # Description and Important 
Detaiis 
SCP-1792-1 A VHS tape, no label. While 


SCP-1792-2 


SCP-1792-4 


not the first SCP-1792 
sample discovered, it is 
currently dated as the 
oldest, hence its numbering. 
Apart from its age and 
slightly more wear than 
most samples, it would not 
be more notable than most 
items on this list but for its 
potential to be the original 
source of SCP-1792. 
A brand VCR. Itis 
among the oldest samples 
found; while its age is less 
than that of SCP-1792-1, it 
is possible for older tapes to 
be played on newer VCRs, 
making this item the second 
most likely origin of 
SCP-1792. However, 
evidence provided by 
instances such as 
SCP-1792-33 suggests the 
possibility that neither is the 
true origin. 
A VHS tape, no label. 
Found in [REDACTED], in 
the possession of a Mr. : 
it was the first sample of 
SCP-1792 found. Mr. 
was arrested for assaulting 
his wife and daughter; 
police reports state that Mrs. 
reported her husband 
beginning to act strange 
after watching a tape lent to 
him by a friend; she claimed 
to have not seen the 
contents of the tape herself. 
Mr. died in prison 


SCP-1792-12 


SCP-1792-18 


SCP-1792-24 (destroyed) 


several months after being 
arrested; the current 


location of Mrs. and her 
daughter is unknown. 
A VHS tape of 


[REDACTED], an animated 
children's movie. Found ina 
video rental store in 
[REDACTED], 
SCP-1792-12 is presumed 
to have been infected when 
rented out to someone who 
had already encountered a 
different instance of 
SCP-1792. Despite the 
Foundation scouring 
[REDACTED] and 
surrounding towns, no more 
copies of SCP-1792 could 
be found in the area, and it 
is unknown if SCP-1792-12 
was rented out after being 
infected. 

A brand DVD-R disc. It 
is currently hypothesized 
that SCP-1792 was played 
on a hybrid DVD/VCR 
player at some point, 
resulting in its spread to 
newer media. 

A tower computer. 
After discovering an online 
discussion about a "haunted 
video tape", two agents 
were dispatched to 
investigate. On entering the 
author's home, the agents 
found him using his 
computer to make a digital 
copy of the contents of a 


SCP-1792-27 (destroyed) 


VCR. Agent drew his 
sidearm and fired several 
bullets into the computer 
tower, destroying the hard 
drive and motherboard. The 
tape inside the VCR was 
later confirmed to be 
another instance of 
SCP-1792; as averting the 
threat of SCP-1792 infecting 
the Internet was high-priority 
even then, Agent 

received a commendation 
for his actions. The thread 
author, Mr. , was 
convinced to not report the 
event to the police. 

A (possibly unfinished) 
symbol or picture, painted in 
blood. After an SCP-1792 
experiment with Class D 
personnel, one of the 
subjects reported feeling 
unwell and was dismissed 
early. That night he was 
found dead in his room by 
another Class D, having 
bled out due to a self- 
inflicted wound. On the wall 
was a large image, painted 
using his own blood. The 
Class D who discovered him 
notified security personnel, 
and while a response was 
swift three more Class D's, 
two security guards, anda 
researcher saw 
SCP-1792-27 before 
someone realized what it 
may be. The area was 


SCP-1792-28 


cordoned off, and a Class D 
was sent in to wash away 
SCP-1792-27, bringing the 
total number of personnel 
exposed to it up to eight. 
While all who saw it were 
able to describe it more 
coherently than the average 
person exposed to 
SCP-1792, with more 
difficulty seeming to arise 
from the quality of the image 
rather than the effects of 
SCP-1792, all of them were 
quarantined; the Class D 
personnel showed no signs 
of instability or other 
symptoms of SCP-1792 
exposure prior to their 
scheduled termination, but 
as of now the three staff 
members are still contained. 
This incident raised the 
concern that SCP-1792 
could be spread through 
living beings as well as 
digital media, with the main 
result being greatly 
increased restrictions on 
those exposed to 
SCP-1792. Reclassification 
of SCP-1792 to Euclid is 
proposed.
