28.VII.1947: Comrade Stalin has personally reviewed the 
prototypes. Their inability to perceive pain will not do; it is 
not in line with the goals of Project Judecca. 


24.11.1948: Escort the Uralic flesh-crafters® to Moscow 
HQ. They are commissioned to assist in Project 
Judecca, abiding by Comrade Stalin's specifications. On 
the behalf of the Union and the Soviet people, the right to 
claim true victory and justice over Hitler shall be realised. 


17.1V.1950: In exchange for their cooperation in Project 
Judecca, 4000 kg of the flesh of Saehrimnir will be 
presented to a representative of the Uralic flesh-crafters. 
In other news, Comrade Stalin wishes to initiate a private 
trial against Hitler. 


09.V.1951: It is Victory Day. Comrade Stalin will be 
gracing Hitler's cage after attending the parade. This 
year, he requests to witness the Rite of Nyuz again.3 
Interrogators, please see to it. 


06.V.1953: Comrade Stalin is dead. We have no need to 
keep Hitler here. No point in wasting bullets on him, he 
does not die. Just bury him discreetly. He's a waste of 
the flesh of Seehrimnir.

1. A Group of Interest regarded as a successor of the Thule Society 
andAhnenerbe Obskurakorps, it originated as the esoteric arm of 
ODESSA prior to its eventual defection from ODESSA upon 
acquisition of several anomalous objects. Other anomalous objects 
related to OBSKURA and its predecessors 


includeSCP-2893,SCP-3878. 

2. Suspected to refer toa group of Sarkicistsof unknown 
denomination. The adjective 'Uralic' is suggestive of the primitivism 
which is typical of Proto-Sarkicism, whereas supposed ties with the 
higher echelons of the Soviet Communist Party matches with the 
modus operandi of typical Neo-Sarkic cults. 

3. Supplementary documents suggest that the "Rite of Nyuz" is a 
ritualistic practice originating from the "Uralic flesh-crafters", and 
comparable to the Chineselingchi(often translated asdeath by a

SCP-2431: 1000 Prion Cranes 


Item #: SCP-2431 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2431 is to be kept in a 
standard cell incubator within Site-234, at 37°C when not in use. 
Interactions with the anomaly should take place in a sealed, sterile, 
tissue culture hood under normal BSL-2 conditions. Research 
personnel should avoid direct physical contact with SCP-2431. 
Excess SCP-2431 should be disposed of using advanced prion 
sterilization techniques. 


Description: SCP-2431 is a misfolded cellular protein, ATP 
synthase!, which forms large, oily and viscous clumps. Each 
instance of SCP-2431 is capable of spontaneous replication, 
regardless of whether or not correctly folded ATP synthase variants 
are present, and will produce new misfolded proteins every 30 
minutes. Upon reaching 78 g in mass, clumps will split into 15 new 
aggregates, and begin the process again. 


SCP-2431 masses refold into shapes that have been encountered in 
their environment, primarily through physical contact, however; they 
are also capable of rudimentary visual observation2. Random folding 
occurs by the aggregate reaccumulating into a single large clump 
before flattening out and then refolding, X-ray crystallography of 
single SCP-2431 manifestations has pinpointed several anomalous 
structural additions that may be involved in this process (See 
Addendum 13). When a conglomerate of SCP-2431 refolds into a 
new shape, it will begin exhibiting characteristics of the item it is 
imitating, subsequently, when exposed to images or origami 
constructs aggregates will refold to emulate the presented item (See 
Experiment log E-2431-01). 


Conglomerates exhibit a rudimentary form of shared sapience?4, 
often refolding into items or shapes as a means of communication. 


SCP-2431 aggregates are capable of complex emotional expression 
and recognition through the use of specific shapes and forms, 
making them roughly equivalent in intelligence to a small child9. In 
some cases, SCP-2431 may develop an emotional attachment to 
research personnel that interact with them regularly. Instances use 
observation of the personnel they become attached to express this 
attachment by refolding into constructs that will elicit a positive 
response. 


SCP-2431 was first encountered outside of SCP-2378 by 
Foundation exploration teams. 


Addendum 1: Molecular and Biochemical Structural Composition 
Show Addendum 2: Experiment Log E-2431-01 


The following section is composed of the condensed and 
summarized results of all experiments with SCP-2431. 


All aggregates exposed to images were measured to be 
at a mass of 78 g. 


Date: 

Researcher: 
Photograph/Origami construct 
Number of Aggregates: 
Result: 


Experiment 1 


Date: March 3rd 2013 

Researcher: Research Assistant Bates 
Photograph/Origami construct: One SCP-1762-2 
Instance 

Number of Aggregates: 2 

Result: Aggregates split into 30 new instances, and 
began the refolding process. Upon completion, instances 
had refolded into origami dragons of varying size and 
color. Instances begin flying around the tissue culture 
hood emitting auditory calls commonly associated with 
mythical dragons, and emitting small sparks of light. 


Experiment 3 


Date: April 15th 

Researcher: Research Assistant Bates 
Photograph/Origami construct An origami figure of 
Momotar6® 

Number of Aggregates: 2 

Result: Masses split into 30 new instances. Aggregates 
refold into a variety of characters depicted in the stories 
of Momotaro. Refolded instances engage in a 
reenactment of the legend as written in a recently 
published children's book. 


Experiment 5 


Date: May 5th, 2013 

Researcher: Research Assistant Bates 
Photograph/Origami construct: Origami constructs of 
a boy and a tiger. 

Number of Aggregates: 5 

Result: Clumps split into 75 new instances, Instances 
refold into the shapes of the given boy and tiger, and 
begin to reenact various scenes from the Calvin and 
Hobbes comic strip series in Japanese. 


Prior to experiment 6, Research Assistant Bates 
observed several SCP-2431 instances refold as he was 
opening the incubator. Several conglomerates refolded 
into an imitation of Bates' wife’. Bates elicited a positive 
response of "joy". Several more conglomerates 
responded by refolding into imitations of his children. 


Experiment 6 


Date: June 3rd, 2013 

Researcher: Research Assistant Bates 
Photograph/Origami construct: Pages from a 
children's story regarding a sick girl and the legend of 
1000 paper cranes§8 inside the hood. 

Number of Aggregates: 3 


Result: Conglomerates split into 45 new instances, 42 
instances refold into a shape similar to that of a crane 
and begin to emit vocalizations and movement similar to 
that of Grus japonensis. The remaining 3 instances 
refold into numbers, reading 9, 5, and 8. 


Following experiment 6, Research Assistant Bates 
moved to put the predetermined number of 
conglomerates back into the storage incubator. As he 
was doing so, several SCP-2431 instances, which had 
not been removed from the incubator, refolded into 
imitations of medical equipment and medications, 
specifically syringes, scalpels, and pills. 


Experiment 7 


Date: July 5th 2013 

Researcher: Research Assistant Bates 
Photograph/Origami construct: One origami iteration 
of a Boeing B-17 bomber. 

Number of Aggregates: 20 

Result: Aggregates split into 300 new instances, 150 of 
which refold into extremely detailed recreations of B-17's. 
Instances proceed to travel along the length of the tissue 
culture hood, and ascend into the air, flying in formation 
reminiscent of American Air raids in the European 
theater of World War 2. Instances are observed dropping 
small folded constructs similar to bombs which shatter 
into tiny protein fragments on contact with the surface of 
the tissue culture hood. 


147 instances refold into the shape of a crane, as seen 
in the previous experiment. The remaining 3 instances 
refold into numbers, reading 8, 1, and 1. 


Over the next 4 months an increasing number of 
SCP-2431 instances refused to refold into any shape 
other than that of a crane. 


Experiment 15 


Date: November 7th, 2013 

Researcher: Research Assistant Bates 
Photograph/Origami construct: A photograph of Notre 
Dame de Paris 

Number of Aggregates: 10 

Result: Aggregates split into 150 new instances. 147 
instances refold, as demonstrated previously, into a 
shape similar to that of a crane. The remaining 3 
instances refold into the numbers 0, 0, and 0. 


Further attempts at testing with SCP-2431, following 
experiment 15, have resulted in aggregate instances 
refolding into either human shapes resembling the 
Japanese deity Fukurokuju9 or the Kanji Characters 2 
j=. As of 12/05/2013 testing is suspended until further 
notice. 


Addendum 3: Pol Profile: Aiko Adachi 


The following is an up to date profile of Aiko Adachi 
maintained by an undercover Foundation physician from 
MTF-Chi-7 "Plague Tamers". 


Pol: Aiko Adachi 
Age: 43 
Weight: 68 kg 


Occupation: Children's Writer, Japanese 
mythology. 


Recently Written Works: Momotaro, A tale of 
Growing. Sadako Sasaki, the tale of a girl and 
1000 paper cranes. A Japanese adaptation of 
the famous comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes. 


Marital Status: Married 
Children, and Ages: 2, 3 and 5 years old. 


Reason for Observation: Formerly Linked to 


SCP-2378. Believed to be connected to 
SCP-2431. 


Initial Report: Mr. Adachi was first connected 
to SCP-2378 on 9/3/2012 via DNA 
sequencing. Due to Mr. Adachi's status as a 
Children's Author, Foundation observation 
units screened his works closely for the 
emergence of any memetic anomalies. 
Despite this screening, Mr. Adachi displayed 
no anomalous properties or connections other 
than his connection to 2378. 


On January 3rd, 2013, Mr. Aiko Adachi was 
diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob's disease, 
shortly before 2378 was due to undergo a 
transition event. SCP-2431 was discovered 
approximately 2 weeks prior to this diagnosis, 
and despite genetic flags to Mr. Adachi's 
genetic pre-disposition to CUD, no link was 
made between him and SCP-2431. He 
continued work on several publications in the 
months following his diagnosis. Despite 
continued care and observation, his condition 
has significantly declined over the past 5 
months. He was officially hospitalized on 
8/6/2013 when a fall resulted in a fractured hip. 
Since then he has been bedridden due to 
decreased motor function, increased memory 
loss and overwhelming dementia. 


Current Status: 


11/15/2013 Mr. Adachi is in the late stages of 
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. He's begun 
experiencing severe grand mal seizures over 
the past couple days. He's also currently being 
kept on a respirator, due to increasingly weak 
lung function, and is no longer capable of 
moving on his own. 


1. There have only been two confirmed encounters of the 
phenomenon between 0900 and 1700 hours. 

2. approx. 40 mph 

3. approx. 250 mph 


« SCP-264 | SCP-265 | SCP-266 » 


His daughters and wife come by every day 
during visitation hours. The wife brings some 
of the books he's written and reads to him and 
the children every day. The children bring 
drawings and toys, sometimes flowers or 
chocolates. 


Update 11/20/2013: Mr. Adachi has 
developed a fever, and racking coughs. We 
believe it's pneumonia. 


Update 11/21/2013: Tests came back positive, 
Streptococcus pneumoniae. We've put him on 
antibiotics. 


Update 11/30/2013: Mr. Adachi has 
responded positively to the antibiotics, chest 
inflammation has almost completely settled, 
though his dementia remains severe. 


Update 12/05/2013: Pneumonia is back, we're 
trying antibiotics again. 


Footnotes 

1. The protein primarily responsible for generation of ATP in the 
electron transport chain within mitochondria, with similar structural 
and functional components across all domains. 

2. This occurs despite a lack of visual sensory equipment. 
Foundation researchers currently believe individual clumps may 
have some sort of complex nervous system in place through slightly 
altered variants of the misfolded protein. Research on techniques to 
explore this possibility are ongoing. 

3. Due to coding errors and conflicts with biological terminology, 
access to Addendum 1 currently requires navigation to a separate 
page and level 4 research credentials. The link is attached at the 
end of this section. 

4. Believed to be the result of "lost" memories, which enables 
instances to reenact otherwise previously unobserved narratives 
and behaviors. 

5. Research into the mechanics and possible biological implications 
behind these capabilities is currently underway, though attempts to 


discern possible neurological analogs to emotional centers in the 
human brain have proven fruitless thus far. 

6. A popular Japanese folklore hero sent from heaven in a peach. 

7. It is currently believed that Research Assistant Bates was 
discussing his wife with a colleague during a previous experiment, 
and admitted to pulling out a photo of his wife and children within full 
view of an aggregate. 

8. Japanese legend holds that if a person creates 1,000 paper 
cranes they will be granted one wish by the gods. 

9. One of the Seven lucky gods in Japanese mythology, usually 
associated with longevity. He is frequently depicted with Cranes and 
Turtles.

SCP-2432: Room Service 


Item #: SCP-2432 
Object Class: Safe Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All business and travel 
websites with listings for the A Hotel are to be monitored for 
reviews displaying memetic triggers by Foundation-operated web 
analysis bot Gamma-09 ("BATESMOTEL"), which will scan for a list 
of memetic textual triggers and remove the reviews with the 
cooperation of the hosting sites. Only staff members with Level 3 
memetic hazard training are to have access to these texts. 


SCP-2432-1 is to be kept in storage in a small sealed plastic box to 
prevent biohazard contamination. As of //15, sufficient data has 
been produced such that no more testing with SCP-2432-1 is 
required, and it is to be kept in storage permanently. 


The A Hotel has been purchased by a Foundation front 
company, and no non-Foundation personnel are to enter SCP-2432, 
excepting appointed hotel cleaning staff. 


One D-Class is to check into and sleep in SCP-2432 once every 
month. They are then to be isolated with one computer. This 
computer is only to have access to a private Foundation database, 
made to resemble popular business review sites. The contents 
generated by the D-Class are to be placed in a secure file 
accessible via this documentation containing all text generated in 
conjunction with SCP-2432. 


Update / /18: No personnel are to sleep in SCP-2432 under any 
circumstances. All surviving personnel are to be immediately 
quarantined until 1/8/19. Under Protocol AMENITY, all civilians who 
have had contact with SCP-2432 before containment are to be 
contacted, monitored, and quarantined until 1/8/19. All nonessential 
testing is to cease. Upgrade to Keter pending 


Description: SCP-2432 is Room 710 of the A Hotel in State 
College, Pennsylvania. SCP-2482 is similar to most rooms within the 
A Hotel, with two queen-sized beds, closet, television and 
bathroom, all non-anomalous elements in and of themselves. The 
interior of SCP-2432's walls are lined with a silver, metallic, woven 
aramid that is extremely tough, with a tensile strength of close to 
4003 MPa. No other walls in the A Hotel have been shown to 
contain this aramid.
