SCP-1598 is to undergo regular bi-weekly X-ray scans. Necrotic 
appendages will need to be amputated as needed. Cancerous 
tumors will also require extraction whenever identified. Samples of 
SCP-1598's visceral fluids will need to be taken once a week and 
remitted to the assigned Level-2 staff member. SCP-1598 is to be 
force fed a nutrient-rich slurry every 6 hours. SCP-1598's gastric 
feeding tube will need to be inserted directly into the stomach 
through the abdominal area. Repositioning of the feeding tube will 
be required whenever a new stomach appears. 


SCP-1598 requires 24-hour surveillance. Behaviors including 
aggressive provocation, coprophagy, deliberate self-harm, or any 
suspicious behavior are to be deterred using electric shock 
weaponry. Any habits involving SCP-1598 spreading its fecal matter 
against the cell's interior walls are to be reported to Level-2 staff 
before being washed clean. 


Conventional lethal weaponry is not allowed in Cell-14. In the event 
of a breach, SCP-1598 is to be approached and suppressed using 
incapacitance foam dispensers and long-range electric shock 
weapons only. 


Description: SCP-1598 is an organism measuring 4.5m in length, 


3.9m in height when standing, and weighing approximately 5.2t. 
SCP-1598 displays physical and genetic characteristics of 
Lymantriids, Apinids, Culicids, Tabanids, Forficulidids, Gryllids, and 
Hominids' in various stages of maturity. Apart from limbs, 
SCP-1598's surface is covered with irregular layers of chitinous 
plates, skin, urticating bristles, male/female genitalia, barbs, teeth, 
antennae/cerci, coarse hair, prehensile tongues, and occasionally 
underdeveloped wings. SCP-1598 appears to possess both an 
incomplete exoskeleton and endoskeleton, though both seem to 
function well when used in conjunction. SCP-1598 has no 
discernible head, but is seen to possess a multitude of eyes and 
oral/anal cavities of variable size across its body. 


SCP-1598 consistently generates various appendages and internal 
organs at a rapid rate. This rapid and uncontrolled growth is also 
balanced by a form of circulatory apoptosis, as extremities/internal 
organs may only last for a few weeks before succumbing to 
avascular necrosis. These growths appear to have no symmetrical 
pattern and appear intermittently. Ingrown appendages have also 
been observed as well as vice versa for internal organs. 


SCP-1598 has been observed to be extremely aggressive to staff 
equipped with weapons. SCP-1598 has also exhibited this 
aggressiveness to automated suppression systems. During 
altercations, SCP-1598 has shown an absolute refusal to submit to 
any attempt at conventional suppression to the point of threatening 
its own life. Tranquilizers, psychoactive medication, and amnestic 
drugs appear to have no effect on SCP-1598. To date, SCP-1598 
has breached containment 3 times. When in an agitated state, 
SCP-1598 will use its defensive attributes as well as its excessive 
strength and size in order to combat personnel. Over time, 
SCP-1598 has grown increasingly docile since living in captivity and 
has been observed to remain stationary for days when left 
undisturbed. 


[LEVEL-2 ACCESS ONLY] 


Additional Measures: All messages created by 
SCP-1598 are to be recorded as they are reported. All 
attempts made by SCP-1598 to communicate with 
specific personnel are to be investigated as to uncover 


any former relations. Personnel exposed to these 
behaviors of SCP-1598 will need to be debriefed 
immediately after. The use of amnestic drugs on 
Foundation personnel assigned to SCP-1598 are to be at 
the discretion of Level-2 staff. 


Personnel assigned to SCP-1598 should be selectively 
screened by hire dates prior to Oct. 30, 2009. Under no 
circumstance are personnel from Lab-6 (or who have 
previously worked in Lab-6) permitted to be assigned to 
SCP-1598. 


All samples from SCP-1598 are to be sent for external 
testing to the Foundation's head genetics department. 
Standard protocols for transporting anomalous biologic 
materials are to be followed. Suicidal tendencies or 
requests exhibited by SCP-1598 are to be recorded and 
examined by an appropriately qualified onsite 
psychologist.

Addendum-001: All personal effects and files 
related to Dr. Wimble's work are to be stored 
in the Lab-6 vault at Research Site-45. Project 
Samsa has been approved to continue under 
Level-3 administration despite unforeseen 
setbacks caused by Dr. Wimble. Sampling of 
SCP-1598 will continue until the missing 
sequences are found. Messages written by 
SCP-1598 relating to former colleagues or 
possible evidence regarding intentions or 
missing work related to Project Samsa are to 
be investigated further. Afterwards, SCP-1598 
may be allowed to depreciate at its own 


natural pace. 


Addendum-002: In light of the 2 containment 
breaches caused by SCP-1598, Dr. Wimble's 
effects and files are to be moved to the high 
security vault in the archival warehouse of 
Research Site-45. Any items or files possibly 
relating to Project Samsa are to be 
investigated offsite by the Foundation's head 
genetics department. The extensive damage 
to Lab-6 and the adjacent offices caused by 
SCP-1598 will necessitate personnel and 
equipment to be temporarily assigned to Lab-5 
and Lab-7 until investigators discover the item 
of SCP-1598's apparent interest. 


Addendum-002-1: SCP-1598's latest 
containment breach has caused structural 
damage to the archival warehouse and the 
high security vault. SCP-1598 was successful 
in gaining access to the vault but proved to be 
extremely frustrated and uncooperative 
afterwards. Since these altercations 
SCP-1598's health has deteriorated 
significantly, which has seriously compromised 
the quality of sampling. SCP-1598 is to be 
placed on an aggressive antibiotic regiment 
and be administered adrenaline whenever 
necessary. Life monitoring systems will be 
required from this point out until improvement 
is seen in sample quality.

SCP-1599: Broken Spybot 


Item #: SCP-1599 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1599 is to be kept ina 3m 
x 3m x 3m reinforced concrete vault within a Faraday cage. Except 
for authorized testing, all personnel touching SCP-1599 must wear 
CBRN-rated gloves to prevent any possibility of skin contact. The 
door to SCP-1599's containment must have no internal access to its 
lock. 


All personnel assigned to SCP-1599 must successfully complete 4 
hours of training in perception and comprehension of accelerated 
speech. All of SCP-1599's vocalizations are to be recorded, 
transcribed, and analyzed. 


SCP-1599's dormancy periods last exactly 11 (eleven) hours and 14 
(fourteen) minutes; any premature emergence from dormancy is to 
be reported to site command. 


Description: SCP-1599 is a smooth black ceramic disk 30 cm in 
diameter and 15 cm thick. Although ultrasonic and radiographic 
examination indicate that SCP-1599 is solid ceramic, it is the 
creation of an anomalously high level of technological development: 
in addition to several capacities which are at present only 
theoretically possible, SCP-1599 contains a hostile intelligence 
which is actively engaged in espionage. The danger posed by this 
intelligence is lessened, but not eliminated, by the substantial 
damage it experienced prior to being taken into custody by the 
Foundation: in particular, it does not know who it is supposed to spy 
on, or on whose behalf. 


SCP-1599 is able to gain knowledge of any individual whose skin 
touches its surface. The mechanism and extent of this ability are as 
yet undetermined; however, SCP-1599 will use any knowledge it 


acquires to try to convince personnel to assist it in escaping. Direct 
physical contact is not advised except under testing conditions. 


SCP-1599 is able to produce ultra-high-resolution life-size 
holograms of humans, which it can animate in real time to portray 
any action it desires; although the majority of these humans are 
entertainers and other public figures, subject has demonstrated that 
it is able to create holograms based on Foundation personnel whom 
it encounters, and that it is willing to use these holograms in 
attempts at blackmail and/or psychological manipulation. However, 
the holograms are — apparently as a result of the damage 
SCP-1599 experienced — flawed, in that either their skin tone is 
lemon-yellow, their eyes are missing, or both. 


SCP-1599 is able to extend six mechanical legs and the broken 
stumps of three other mechanical legs; the intact legs are 22 cm 
long and highly articulated. Each leg is tipped with five 2-cm-long 
talons; these talons can grip at least strongly enough to pierce cloth 
and break skin. SCP-1599 has demonstrated that it is able to run at 
speeds of 4 meters per second (although, due to its missing legs, it 
cannot sustain this speed for more than 3 seconds without falling), 
and to perform feats of dexterity ranging from picking locks to tying 
and untying shoelaces to rolling cigarettes to shuffling cards. [Note: 
SCP-1599's offer to demonstrate its ability to load a gun has been 
rejected, as has its offer to demonstrate its ability to use a garotte.] 
When the legs are retracted, they are undetectable. 


SCP-1599 is able to see and hear, despite not having any 
discernible mechanisms with which to do so, and to speak in thirty 
languages (see Appendix 1599-E-14 for list of languages). However, 
it has — apparently as a result of the damage it experienced — lost 
the ability to "subvocalize" its "thoughts", and instead provides a 
constant spoken commentary of its observations, conclusions, and 
short- and long-term intentions. SCP-1599 does not seem to be 
aware that it is doing this. 


After 40 (forty) hours and 19 (nineteen) minutes of operation, 
SCP-1599 expresses the need to sleep and enters a dormant state 
for exactly 11 (eleven) hours and 14 (fourteen) minutes. During this 
time it is safe to handle the object for examination purposes, but 
direct physical contact should still be avoided. Upon emerging from 


its dormancy, SCP-1599 vocalizes an entry in its internal systems 
log; this entry counts the number of dormancy cycles since 
SCP-1599 entered Foundation custody, affirms that SCP-1599 is not 
worthless and that its superiors have neither abandoned it nor 
written it off as destroyed, and documents the status of its constant 
search for a broadcast signal by which it can recalibrate its damaged 
programming. 


NOTE: Although the information gleaned from 1599's 
‘subvocalizations' has allowed us to thwart escape attempts and 
attempts to kill Foundation personnel, please remember that the 
only thing we know for sure is that its purpose is to deceive and 
subvert. - Director

Articles 1600-1699 


SCP-1600: Philosopher's Cheese 


Item #: SCP-1600 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-1600-1 are 
stored in the Hazardous Materials Wing of Site-197, within a 
chamber constructed from a brass alloy with 42% zinc content. All 
personnel interacting with SCP-1600-1 must wear level C hazmat 
suits constructed from SCP-1600-1 resistant materials to prevent 
accidental exposure. 


Samples of SCP-1600-2 do not warrant special containment and 
may be stored at the discretion of assigned researchers. 


Description: SCP-1600-1 is an odorless dark-yellow liquid 
recovered in 1998 from a MC&D facility in Boston, MA. Chemical 
analysis have shown it to be a compound of sulfur, mercury and 
several unidentified elements. The Foundation currently possesses 
53 liters of SCP-1600-1. All attempts to synthesize additional 
quantities of SCP-1600-1 have been unsuccessful. 


When SCP-1600-1 comes in contact with solid matter, it will 
transform said matter into a sample of SCP-1600-2. The 
transformation takes from 2 to 37 minutes per kilogram and is 
usually accompanied by heavy structural damage caused by 
differences in density between SCP-1600-2 and the initial materials. 


A small number of materials have been found that are not affected 
by SCP-1600-1. Of those, brass is currently used in containment as 
the cheapest and most practical alternative. Refer to document 
1600-M4 for the full list of immune materials found so far. 


SCP-1600-2 is an edible product highly similar to cheese. 
Coloration, texture and flavor of SCP-1600-2 samples varies wildly 
based on materials used in their creation. Consumption of 


SCP-1600-2 is safe and will not cause any lasting ill effects, even in 
cases where materials used in creation of the sample have been 
poisonous or otherwise inedible.
