Incident 1625-2: On 2006/9/28, Researcher Gerret compared 
genetic testing from an instance of SCP-1625-1 to a sample 
acquired in 1953. Gerret found the samples to be from two different 
individuals, and further testing has shown that each instance of 
SCP-1625-1 possesses a separate genetic code. In cases, 
samples from SCP-1625-1 have been matched with missing 


persons from various parts of the world. It is unknown how these 
individuals were transported to Site-1625, how they developed the 
appearance of SCP-1625-1 (a majority of the missing persons were 
not of African descent), or how they sustained the injuries 
documented in SCP-1625-1. Further funding and analysis has been 
approved by O5 as of 2007/7/9. 


Addendum 1625-1: On 2009/8/15, SCP-1625 was officially 
reclassified as Keter due to its rate of spread, danger to other 
individuals, and inability to be contained. For further information, 
refer to Dr. Anderson at Site-37 and Document 1625-K4 
("Reclassification Measures").

SCP-1626: Drunkshirt 


Item #: SCP-1626 
Object Class: Safe-impetus 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1626 is to be kept in a 
locker at Site 55's low-value item storage facility. To avoid the 
potential for confusion, personnel testing or interacting with 
SCP-1626 are not allowed to wear articles of clothing for which it 
could be mistaken. 


Site 55 Medical personnel are to have access to equipment capable 
of cutting through SCP-1626's fibers. In the event that SCP-1626 is 
worn for more than twenty-one minutes by non-expendable 
personnel, this equipment is to be used in an effort to remove 
SCP-1626. If this proves unfeasible, destruction of SCP-1626 is 
authorized if the possibility exists that this will allow for the subject's 
survival. Destruction of SCP-1626 outside of these protocols 
remains an offense subject to standard disciplinary policy. 


Description: SCP-1626 is a gray size XL hooded sweatshirt made 
out of polyester. In its inactive state, SCP-1626 is physically 
unremarkable except that it emits hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas at 
levels sufficient to cause it to have a faint but noticeable "rotten egg" 
scent. 


Whenever a human wears SCP-1626 for a period of twenty-one 
minutes or greater, it will extend numerous polyester fibers roughly 
1mm in diameter up to 20 centimeters into the subject's arms and 
torso. SCP-1626 will not puncture any vital organs or blood vessels, 
and the fibers secrete potent local anesthetics that almost 
immediately desensitize the skin at the point of penetration. As such, 
exposure to SCP-1626 is not immediately lethal, and victims are 
unlikely to notice its effects unless they attempt to remove 
SCP-1626. The fibers have shown unusual resilience for their 
composition, complicating any efforts to remove SCP-1626. 


Between five and ten minutes after the subject's skin has been 
penetrated, the fibers begin to conduct heat away from the subject's 
body at an accelerated rate until the subject's core body 
temperature is that of the subject's surroundings. Simultaneously, 
the fibers will release copious amounts of ethyl alcohol into the 
subject's bloodstream, causing extreme inebriation. This appears to 
have the effect of both decreasing the likelihood that the subject will 
notice the drop in body temperature and limiting the subject's ability 
to seek help. SCP-1626 will increase its production of hydrogen 
sulfide at this time, giving both it and the wearer a strong, repellent 
scent. 


Under normal circumstances, victims of SCP-1626 will die of 
hypothermia between one and three hours after exposure, 
depending on the subject's mass and the temperature of the 
surroundings. After the subject's death, the fibers of SCP-1626 will 
retract and become undetectable. Further, SCP-1626 will cease to 
release hydrogen sulfide for the next two days unless it is worn 
during that time.

SCP-1627: Mushroom Wars 


Item #: SCP-1627 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The forest in which SCP-1627 
is located is to be secured by fifty (50) armed Foundation personnel. 
The species shall be allowed to grow in the area, but only within 
Foundation-set boundaries. D-Class testing of SCP-1627 is to take 
place within Site 56 in a waterproof testing chamber, after which the 
affected D-Class shall be left in the chamber until death. If 
SCP-1627 is discovered outside of this area, the previously 
mentioned procedures should be set in place. 


The town of , TN, USA is to be quarantined and monitored until 
all instances of SCP-1627-A and SCP-1627-B are identified and 
neutralized. The town will continue to be observed for up to one (1) 
year after all anomalous entities have been assumed to be 
deceased. 


Description: SCP-1627 is a species of fungus superficially 
resembling fly agaric mushrooms (Amanita muscaria). This species 
can cause vomiting, internal bleeding, blindness, and hallucinations 
if ingested. 


SCP-1627's anomalous effects manifest as a result of ritualistic 
behavior composed of the following criteria: 


1. SCP-1627 comes into contact with human blood 
2. SCP-1627 is ingested by a human subject 
3. SCP-1627 is ingested in the absence of direct sunlight 


If a subject ingests the fungus without meeting all of the previously 
mentioned requirements, said subject will experience SCP-1627's 
non-anomalous toxic effects. Once subject meets the above 
requirements, that subject will be transfigured into either an instance 


of SCP-1627-A or an instance of SCP-1627-B. 
SCP-1627-A Information 


SCP-1627-A refers to persons who have completed the 
aforementioned ritual successfully with their own blood. 
Upon the completion of the process, any damage 
present within the individual's body will be completely 
healed. This includes tissue damage, bacterial and viral 
infections, and cancer’. SCP-1627-A subjects are 
unaffected by pathogens, as well as being able to 
survive without food or water for extended periods of 
time. Instances can only be distinguished from non- 
anomalous humans by the faint presence of a white glow 
emanating from their bodies, which is present when they 
are put into areas with illumination measuring no more 
than 10 lux. 


When a human being comes into direct skin contact with 
an instance of SCP-1627-A, all damage and infections 
present within them will be healed. Over the course of 
the following two (2) weeks, that subject will experience 
rapid senescence until death, often by natural causes 
associated with old age. This appears to give 
nourishment to the SCP-1627-A instance. 


SCP-1627-B Information 


SCP-1627-B refers to persons who have completed the 
aforementioned ritual successfully with a different 
person's blood. Upon the completion of the ritual, the 
subject will experience uniformly dark pigmentation 
across its entire form with two points of light located on 
its upper half, which appear to function as eyes. Subjects 
will also enter into a semisolid state, and while resting, 
appear to be formless. 


Specimens of SCP-1627-B are sentient and sapient, as 
well as being capable of vocalizing. Very rarely do 
individuals retain their original personality after the 
transformation; instead, instances will display predatory 


behavior. These organisms will often kill their prey via 
suffocation after entering into their respiratory tract. Once 
their target is dead, SCP-1627-B will invade the corpse 
and consume the victim's cardiovascular, nervous, and 
reproductive systems, as well as excreting preservatives 
into the rest of the organism's tissues in order to prevent 
decay of the corpse. 


Instances of SCP-1627-B will inhabit human corpses in 
order to blend into populated areas. Organisms tend to 
live in groups of three (3), but have been found living 
alone and in groups of up to seven (7) members. While 
SCP-1627-B cannot hold a consistently solid humanoid 
form outside of a corpse, it may remain within a host 
body indefinitely. 


SCP-1627-A and SCP-1627-B appear to be invulnerable to physical 
damage; however, both groups are susceptible to starvation within 
three (3) weeks. In addition, if instances of SCP-1627-A and 
SCP-1627-B are brought together, both subjects will die immediately 
after making contact. The cause of this is currently being studied. 


SCP-1627 was discovered on 06/04/1995 in the small secluded 
mountain town of , TN, USA after agents received reports of 
"people of shadow and light" coming out from the nearby forest. 
Within the town, several groups had formed based on reactions to 
the entities, with the largest groups being the "Daylight Huntsmen," 
the "Brotherhood of the Night," and the "Enders." See the attached 
History File-1627-Theta and Incident Report-1627-Alpha for greater 
detail.

SCP Objects Involved: SCP-1627 


Gols Involved: Gol-187 (Daylight Huntsmen), Gol-188 
(Brotherhood of Night), Gol-189 (Enders) 


Summary: Citizens of , TIN, USA came into contact 
with SCP-1627 when a group of people identifying 
themselves as the "Cult of the New" entered into the 


town square at 20:00 on 14/02/1995 and performed the 
SCP-1627 ritual on their members, creating several 
instances of SCP-1627-A and SCP-1627-B. A few 
members of the cult attempted to speak a message of 
power and "evolution"; in the midst of this, a riot started 
among the crowd, which resulted in the death of all 
members of the cult and several civilians. Within the next 
day, several groups formed among the citizens of the 
town, the largest and most prominent of these being 
Gol-187 through Gol-189. These groups gained control 
of the town over the course of two (2) months and grew 
more and more unstable until [REDACTED/e. 


Gol-187 (Daylight Huntsmen) Information 


Gol-187 (Daylight Huntsmen) was organized 
by Regis Newman as a group of people who 
had decided to support the SCP-1627-A 
instances and actively attempted to combat 
SCP-1627-B. Due to SCP-1627-B's hunting 
and killing methods, members of the group 
usually wore gas masks and were extremely 
hesitant in trusting people outside of the group. 
It is reported that prior to Foundation 
containment of SCP-1627, these individuals 
refused to interact with persons that weren't in 
the group and often did not let anyone else 
join. As part of a larger initiative, these 
members also actively destroyed all methods 
of communication, including phones and 
internet, as well as ensuring no citizens left the 
city after the initial exposure to the anomaly in 
order to halt the spread of SCP-1627-B 
outside of the town. Out of the three most 
prominent groups during this time, Gol-187 
was the most noticeable and prevalent due to 
their equipment and methods of operation. 


When members of this group identified 


SCP-1627-A instances, they invited them to 
join in their ranks while making sure to not 
touch them. Due to the the group's full-body 
outfits, distinguishing between anomalous and 
non-anomalous individuals was challenging. 
Whenever members from this group 
successfully captured members of Gol-188 
(Brotherhood of Night), they used them to feed 
the SCP-1627-A instances among their ranks. 


Members of this group were reported to have 
searched random houses in order to identify 
and capture members of Gol-188 and 
SCP-1627-B instances. The people captured 
were often executed via incineration3 in the 
town's crematorium. 


Members of this group also tended to ignore 
Gol-189 (Enders) because it "just seemed like 
another crazy fucking cult whose bullshit [they] 
had to wade through." 


[REDACTED}4 
Gol-188 (Brotherhood of Night) Information 


Gol-188 was formed under the leadership of 
Martha Grande with the premise that 
SCP-1627-B was "the next step of humanity." 
This group's stated purpose is to aid in the 
spread of SCP-1627-B, either through the 
SCP-1627 ritual, or assisting the entities in 
finding food and corpses to inhabit. However, 
due to the radical actions taken by members of 
Gol-187 (Daylight Huntsmen), a large portion 
of the membership of the Brotherhood came 
from townspeople who were displeased with 
the changes the Huntsmen had made. 


Members of this group are typically reclusive 
due to the methods utilized by the Huntsmen. 


However, they also willingly gave up their own 
bodies for use by SCP-1627-B if needed. 
Relations of this group with Gol-189 (Enders) 
were virtually non-existent, due to the massive 
number of small cultist groups that had formed 
in the town during this time. 


[REDACTED]5 


Gol-189 (Enders) Information 


Gol-189 (Enders) was formed by Lars 
Peterson in response to the SCP-1627 ritual in 
the town square. This group formed their own 
religion around the concepts of SCP-1627-A 
and SCP-1627-B, with the stated core 
principles consisting of "balance" and 
“preparation for the Shatter." They believed 
SCP-1627-A and SCP-1627-B to be the 
human forms of "good" and "evil," respectively; 
members insisted that these anomalies were 
the universe signaling that the path to the end 
is caused by extremes. This group was 
generally avoided and ignored by Gol-187 
(Daylight Huntsmen) and Gol-188 
(Brotherhood of Night). 


The major preachings of the group were about 
an end of times and "walking down the 
middle." They believed that the only way to 
salvation was to live a neutral life, and thus 
Only acted in a manner that could be described 
as such by their own interpretation. They 
reviled extremes and claimed that the perfect 
world would consist of issues presented not in 
black and white, but in gray. Members also 
spoke of duality and how it is better that 
neither side benefits than one side getting 
help. 


Gol-189 held many gatherings in a variety of 
places, mostly private residences, but 
occasionally churches and open areas, where 
they invited people to join them in preparation 
for the end and safety from the SCP-1627 
entities. During these gatherings, the speakers 
of the group (known as "Equalizers") would 
often go out among the crowds and hold 
conversations in order to inform people of the 
group's messages. 


[REDACTED]é 


Incident Report-1627-Alpha: On 06/04/1995, Foundation 
discovered the town in which these events occurred after recovering 
several instances of SCP-1627-A and SCP-1627-B from the 
surrounding countryside. When agents arrived on the scene, conflict 
between the three groups had escalated greatly. MTF Sigma-7 (aka 
"Turn Riot at the Light"), MTF Upsilon-4 (aka "Please Don't Touch 
Me"), and MTF Eta-9 (aka "Maul Security") were dispatched to 
subdue the citizens and contain instances of SCP-1627-A and 
SCP-1627-B. 


At this time, members of Gol-187 (Daylight Huntsmen) had 
apparently become paranoid to the point of complete destruction of 
internal structure and betrayal between members. Meanwhile, 
Gol-188 (Brotherhood of Night) had released approximately twenty 
(20) instances of SCP-1627-B that they had kept hidden in order to 
let them freely hunt while they forced people at random to eat blood- 
covered instances of SCP-1627. Gol-189 (Enders) had begun killing 
people by various means not involving direct contact. When 
questioned about these actions later, members responded that they 
had come to the conclusion that killing was a neutral, and therefore 
just, action’. 


Foundation agents went into the town and subdued the majority of 
the citizens using Anomalous Outbreak Protocol Rho-05, after which 
many instances of SCP-1627-A and SCP-1627-B were located and 
contained. All members of the town were interrogated, particularly
