SCP-3140-1 was discovered at a Foundation archaeological dig site 
near Bikudo, Jammu and Kashmir, Republic of India on 27- 
January-2017. The dig site appeared to have at one point been the 
location of a battle between Daevite forces and an unknown 
Ortothan8 group, based on the presence of non-anomalous 
weapons and armor possessing acute heptagrams (sometimes 
surrounded by other polygons), regular polygons (ranging from four 
to seven sides), and humanoid figures with four to seven arms. Said 
battle is believed to have occurred at some point in the Early Low 
Daevic period (c. 11000 BCE), suspected to be the Century 
Conquest?. 


Around SCP-3140-1's legs were chained legcuffs made of meteoric 
iron, locked with a complex mechanical system, with the phrase 
"Ruination to the invaders" written in Ortothan on both cuffs. The 
chains had been heavily damaged, likely from attempts to break it. 
The remnants of an SCP-3140 instance were found at dig sites in 
the vicinity, which had damaged legs and a destroyed torso. The 
torso's remains had a solidified mass of miscellaneous plant matter 
and bone fragments in it, connected by multiple small roots. Other 
objects in the area included bones, weaponry, and armor. All 
artifacts, the destroyed instance, and SCP-3140-1 were transported 
to Area-40 on 29-January-2017. 


Based on texts found in SCP-1726 and SCP-140, SCP-3140 were a 
common weapon utilized by the Daevic Empire during and after the 
Century Conquest, though it is suggested that the anomaly had 
predated Daevite civilization.19 Thaumaturgic horticulture methods 
would be used to grow different variations of the entities, primarily 
designed for military application. 


Below are several text excerpts detailing the growth and usage of 
SCP-3140 in Daevite society (translated). 


Next to the prisoner slaughtering grounds | saw a 
massive farm. It stretched out from the clearing—which | 


estimate it to be 60 urvs long, 50 urvs wide—and past 
the corpses, possibly farther. | estimate the clearing to 
be 61 urvs. Many growing and grown Amun] are in the 
plots, possibly one hundred or more. The area has less 
guards, though many experienced presence aether- 
benders occupy it. A hill in an unguarded region gave the 
perfect view, and the Holy Rays Tube—praise the 
Elemental Holies—improved it. 


Daevic—death to the brutes—aether-benders walked the 
columns and would stop by the mature and crouched 
ones, then retrieve objects from their red robes. Aether- 
black would flash in their hands as they retrieved the 
materials and inserted them into the Amunj, which 
rippled like water during the process. | could not easily 
glimpse the materials for they were clouded by the 
aether-black-air, but the Holy Rays Tube—praise the 
Elemental Holies—illuminated spirit-residual outlines of 
bone and flesh. After the process ended a quick change 
would occur to the golem: Tentacles like the Deepers'—| 
suggest an investigation to see if a Deeper pact was 
formed—cannons of great size and with many barrels, 
and spikes to rival our spears all grew instantaneously. 


The aether-benders would move on to the next, anda 
soldier would lead slaves—likely captured warriors—by 
chain to the wooden beast. They were all starved and 
scarred, and trembled with every step. If they did not 
begin to etch Daevic—death to the brutes—victories and 
violence onto the golems, a small rod would be stabbed 
into their back and they would immediately return to 
work. Some of these artists had dozens stuck into them.

of the Erliontipa, describing an overview of a Daevite provisional 
camp. Document 1726-503 


The first attackers were Daevic soldiers, who emerged 
from the jungle at the early sunrise to assault the 

gateway. Luckily our warriors were as prepared as the 
Tenth Y prophesied and promised, for they had a great 


many traps, weapons, and strong fortifications. Our 
archers up on the wall did little to assist them, and the 
onlookers up here, myself included, cheered. We knew 
the Daevite Empire was the greatest to ever exist, so this 
victory was truly glorious. 


| was nervous, though. The countless stories of endless 
victories and the taming of great beasts that belonged in 
other realms came back to me. An attack with so few 
soldiers seemed wrong. After a jolon had passed with no 
new action the crowd around the archers grew smaller, 
but our good warriors stood strong with anticipation. 
Another jolon later most had left to return to their homes 
in or around the inner city, and the archers began to 
speak about unrelated events. Unusually the chimes of 
safety had not rung despite the apparent victory. 


That was when | heard a rumble and saw trees swaying 
from my window. Suddenly, three large beings of wood 
and leaves rose above the horizon. Their bodies were 
like castles of wood, and their legs were larger than any 
tree trunk | have seen in my hunts. Each had vast 
numbers of Daevites scrambling along stairwells lined 
with bark plating on the exterior and on fortified 
platforms, covered by large trees. Strange pink and blue 
flowers blossomed all over. A few holes | could see on 
their fronts suggests they have an interior as well. 


The hundred cannons fired in unison from the top and 
middle of the wall, but the tree beasts kept walking. More 
and more were fired and only small pieces of the things 
would shatter. The ground troops were being attacked 
from all sides by smaller wood creatures, some still taller 
than any man. | saw a man have spiked vines wrap 
around his body and rip him like cloth, and another was 
impaled by several wooden spikes. The traps and 
barricades were stepped on and broken, and the archers 
and cannon workers were killed by Daevite's arrows. 


As they got closer to the top of the wall | grabbed all | 
could and ran from my home and into the city. A jol later | 


heard the chimes of invasion ring from all around.

describing the invasion of the Olute city-state by Daevite troops.

Clouds swirled in the sky as my boat sailed along the 
coast. As with all Sanc creations, it was efficient and 
simple, but | feared it would collapse at any moment. 
After an uro | was able to see the edge of the Ytan clan's 
village, the rest was hidden in dense foliage. The Masn 
Codexes claim the clan to be a relic of Empire Daevic, a 
Fragment Daevic. A much debated idea, as none could 
verify from risk of death or worse. This day | could see 
well that they were Fragment Daevic. 


Huts and sculptures of bone were common, occasional 
villagers and guards walking around. The only crop | saw 
was a large and thin tree, growing slices of meat on the 
branches. Guards would grab a slice and eat, and 
another would grow soon after. A likely solution for the 
few animals and humans that could be fed on. 


Small Uosho, wood deities tamed and used for war, were 
fishing using tens of arms on their fronts. Once all arm 
claws had grabbed a fish, they would drop them into a 
basket that would then be put into a hole on another 
Uosho. This one would then trudge into the forest, 
vanishing. This repeated without end.

locations are also present, though most of them are poor in quality, 
and many passages are largely incoherent. The writer is presently 
unknown. Document 1726-724

The use of SCP-3140 decreased over time, gradually replaced in 


favor of thaumaturgic mechanical weapons. However, some Daevic 
clans continued to use the entities for hard labor, farming, and 
protection. The last remaining ones are suspected to have been 
destroyed by forces under Chinese general Qin Kai circa 270 BCE. 


Addendum.1: On 1-March-2017, two seeds (designated 
SCP-3140-2 and SCP-3140-3) retrieved from SCP-3140-1 were 
planted in an enlarged botanical garden (Botanical Garden Beta) in 
Area-40, following Daevite horticulture instructions found in 
Documents 1726-801 and 1726-822 (compiled in Document 3140- 
HRT). Said instructions utilized multiple anomalous compounds and 
thaumaturgic rituals, carried out by Thaumaturgy Division personnel. 
SCP-3140-2 would be grown without modifications being made, 
while SCP-3140-3 would be grown for use in farming. By May 
several wooden spheres with small branches extending from them 
had grown, and by July growths resembling legs had formed. 


Addendum.2: On 5-September-2017 SCP-3140-2 and SCP-3140-3 
had fully grown and had broken out of their dirt plots. Following their 
relocation to separate containment chambers, testing regimens 
began. 


SCP-3140-2 is largely the same as SCP-3140-1, though it lacks any 
inscriptions, etchings, or barrels. The anomaly is unresponsive to 
the "fire" command. The leading explanation for the lack of barrels is 
that they were added to the entity after it had fully grown, which is 
unlikely to carry over to offspring. Research into adding these onto 
the anomaly is ongoing. 


SCP-3140-3 lacks the same features as SCP-3140-2, and has a 
largely different body structure than SCP-3140. The entity has a 
height of 4 meters and a 3 meter wide torso. The underside 
possesses a mass of tendrils made of wood and 3140-C, each of 
which have a different structure. Personnel have successfully used 
SCP-3140-3 in the cultivation of soybeans, rice, tumeric, and 
sugarcane with various commands, using the tendrils to achieve 
this. However, the process is slower than existing mechanical 
farming methods. 


Further research is being performed to see if SCP-3140 instances 
could be utilized by the Foundation, which includes tests to see if 


D-216 gasps. 

Control: D-216? What's wrong? 

No answer is heard. 

D-193: He... seems to be unconscious, sir. 


Control: His vitals have dropped out. He's dead. Leave 
him and continue, 193. 


D-193: Roger, sir. 

seconds pass. 
D-193: The hall's changing, sir. 
The feed shows no change. 
Control: Describe. 


D-193: It's starting to look like the corridor outside of my 
old cell. | never wanted to see this again. But it looks like 
it gets better just up ahead. 


Control: Noted. Open the door to your left, 193. 


D-193 opens the door. It is identical to the rooms seen in 
Addendum-398-A. A burst of breath is heard from D-193. 
His heart rate rises. 


Control: What is it, 193? 


D-193: It's the basement we had in a house | lived in as 
a child. | always hated it, | never went in. 


D-193's voice is shaky. 


D-193: Oh god. Can you hear that? There are voices. 
Something's down there. 


Nothing can be heard except D-193's breathing. 


instances could learn new commands after growth.

SCP-3141: Anomalous Theorem 


Item #: SCP-3141 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nonmaterial nature 
of SCP-3141, direct containment is impossible. Instead, automatic 
scanning software should be used to monitor quarterly reports of 
insurance and financial firms for undue discrepancies. Additional 
surveillance should be directed towards the monitoring of related 
trade journals and academic mathematics journals. Agents 
embedded in the peer review boards for such publications should be 
made aware of the possible presence of SCP-3141 and should be 
instructed to be vigilant for it. 


In the event of the discovery of SCP-3141 characteristic 
discrepancies in quarterly reports of a firm, Foundation agents are to 
infiltrate the actuarial (or equivalent) department of the firm and 
ascertain which employees, referred to as subjects, grasp an 
understanding of the phenomenon. Subjects are then to be 
discredited in the firm in accordance with “Operation Underwriter”. 
Subjects will be taken into Foundation custody indefinitely. Class B 
amnestics are to be deployed according to agent discretion. 


In the event that a proof or technique resembling SCP-3141 is 
discovered within a journal or peer review board, Foundation agents 
are to contact the journal publisher, as well as article authors and 
peer reviewers, and expose them to memetic agent “Counterproof- 
Zeta”. Additionally, if a proof for SCP-3141 was put into general 
circulation before Foundation discovery, Counterproof-$\zeta$ is to 
is to be circulated in the next possible issue of the journal. Due to 
the decaying effects of the memetic agent, Foundation operatives 
should monitor affected subjects monthly following application. 


Description: SCP-3141 is a mathematical theorem that describes a 
method by which conditions for a set of random variables can be 


expressed in a specific system of equations in order to calculate 
stable state probabilities for the long term outcome of the variables. 
The solution to the system is non-obvious and requires a significant 
degree of mathematical expertise to solve.! No computer is currently 
known to be able to solve the system. This is possibly due to the 
anomalous nature of the theorem. Approval for testing with 
Foundation artificial intelligence is pending. 


The anomalous properties of SCP-3141 present themselves in the 
fact that during the process of solving the system of equations, the 
subject solving the system can manipulate the outcome of the 
solution to a “reasonable” desired result referred to as SCP-3141-$ 
\pi$.2 This process occurs subconsciously in subjects who are 
unaware of the anomalous effects of the SCP with a rate of 
approximately .15. The remaining .85 proportion of subjects find the 
system inconsistent.3 Subjects who are aware of the effects of 
SCP-3141 are able to achieve this result with a .999 success rate. 


If the conditions and random variables used as the conditions for 
SCP-3141 are not arbitrary (i.e. they represent an actual real world 
system), the conditions given are accurate with a significance level 
of a=.01, and if the exact calculations have not been completed 
within the past , then the actual set of long term probabilities for 
the variables described becomes SCP-3141-$\pi$. The process by 
which this occurs is not currently understood.
