Furthermore, there is evidence that his goals would have 
diverged from those of the Foundation. The Foundation 
endeavors to be a nonpolitical entity — we protect, we 
do not rule. It’s virtually certain that Alexander Outis 
would not be satisfied with any amount of authority the 
Foundation affords its leaders, and would have sought 
power that extends beyond its auspices. More potentially 
worrisome, Alexander Outis earned his honorary 


doctorate for his work on Casimir engines. His research 
was a step along the path to extracting energy from the 
chaos of the quantum vacuum, which lines up alarmingly 
well with “light of Limbo” that SCP-1909 indicates would 
unlock the destiny of an Alexander. Although the precise 
effects of that happening are unclear, it is expected that 
they would run counter to the Foundation’s mission of 
ensuring normalcy. 


The story of Project Lanike provides ample warning. 
Because the consequences of failure are so dire, and 
because of the weakness of the guardrails against 
institutional subversion, the ban on all testing with 
SCP-1909 that produces an instance of SCP-1909-A is 
hereby affirmed. 


~ 05-10 


Addendum 1909-160: The following letter, believed to be from 
Alexander the Great, a historical instance of SCP-1909-A, to his 
close friend Hephaestion, was published in the January 2014 issue 
of the American Journal of Archeology. Although it refers to certain 
topics relating to SCP-1909, it does so sufficiently obliquely that it is 
considered to pose minimal threat to secrecy. It is possible that it will 
prompt further archeological exploration in the vicinity of SCP-1909, 
which is near the likely historical site of the town of Pherae. 


All three of my fathers urge me on this venture. My father 
of Pella [Phillip], who has bequeathed to me my position 
and the responsibility for his kingdom and his men, tells 
me to lead the people of Macedon to a better future. My 
father of Pherae [the warlord Alexander that created 
SCP-1909], whose thirst for domination impels me and 
whose gift of leadership empowers me, screams that 
there are those who do not yet know my glory. And my 
father of Mieza [Aristotle], who has given me the wisdom 
to grow and to choose my own path, would have me 
fulfill my capacity through conquest. 


Yet because | have learned to find my own way, | go for 
reasons of my own. | know there is more to the world 


than this; | have seen it in my vision in Pherae. 
Somewhere there are lands where the sky is gold, where 
spires of obsidian twist and leap like living things, and 
where cities vaster than imagining are populated with 
beings that inflame my mind with wonder. And as | am 
blessed with loyalty of the people of Macedon, it is only 
right that | bring them on this great quest, to travel with 
me as far into this world as they are able. 


| do not fight to rule, but to unite. Macedon is my home, 
but my other birthright is a great kingdom that has sung 
my name in praise for aeons. When | restore myself to 
that far-off realm, my two peoples will join and become 
one, stronger for the union, just as our spears have 
sutured noble Macedon and wise Persia. May all this be 
only the beginning. 


| have done so much, travelled so far, seen the world 
prostrate itself before me. Yet the curse of my divine 
father is that | find it all so small. Without my rebirth in 
the cave of the god in Pherae, Macedon would have a 
king who led it forward, step by step. My teacher would 
have a student who diligently followed his precepts for a 
just and good master. But my destiny draws me forward, 
and so | risk all, for there will never be another like me to 
claim it. If | am guided true, | shall find it at the farthest 
shore of the greatest sea. Forward, then, my truest 
companion, and let us see if among the marvels of India 
are dancing towers, golden skies, and finally completion.

SCP-1910: Plant-Repairing Hookah 


Item #: SCP-1910 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1910 is to be contained in 
an airtight safe at Bio Site-1910. Level A Hazardous Materials suits 
are to be worn for protection during sample collection, as the 
object's anomalous properties only activate in contact with living 
animal tissue. SCP-1910 is not to come into contact with any plant 
or plant-like SCP item. It must remain empty and unlit at all times to 
prevent activation, except for purposes of controlled testing. 


Description: SCP-1910 is a single-stem portable hookah which, 
when filled and lit properly with a smoldering coal and Mu'assel 
(tobacco paste) or Hashish (marijuana resin), produces a dense 
white fog covering roughly a 200m radius around its position. 
Whenever any living plant is damaged within this radius, the fog 
enters an active state, sublimating and absorbing soft tissue and 
bodily fluids from nearby vertebrates, which tints it deep red. The fog 
will then use the dissolved animal tissue to repair any damaged 
plants inside its radius, replacing destroyed tissues and organs with 
healthy "patches". 


The "patches" applied by SCP-1910 consist of living animal cells, 
genetically and compositionally identical to those of the animal most 
recently sublimated, reorganized into tissues closely analogous to 
the underlying plant structures. For example, during Test 1910-33a, 
SCP-1910 was activated by damage to the stem and leaves of a 
tobacco plant and reacted by absorbing a pig's forelimb. It replaced 
the leaf parenchyma with modified skin and fat cells, the stomatal 
guard cells with muscle cells, the cuticle with waxes derived from 
sebaceous glands, the stem xylem and phloem with veins and 
arteries, and the leaf veins with capillaries.! The resultant patches 
are fleshy and incapable of photosynthesis, although they do 


adequately replicate all structural and nutrient-conducting functions 
of the damaged tissue. Interestingly, the mass of animal tissue 
absorbed was far greater than that used to construct the patches. 


Acquisition Log: SCP-1910 was first cataloged in 1964, after a 
minor media panic surrounding an incident in the town of ; 
Oregon. Eyewitnesses state that several environmental protesters 
had chained themselves to large trees at a logging site outside the 
town and begun passing around a hookah. When loggers 
disregarded the protesters and moved to fell other nearby trees, 
SCP-1910's anomalous properties activated. 


Five loggers were skeletonized within minutes; witnesses reported 
the incorporation of the loggers’ tissue into the damaged trees. All 
survivors immediately fled the scene, abandoning SCP-1910 in the 
forest; the survivors from the scene were admitted to a local hospital 
with severe dehydration, and in five cases, missing skin and muscle 
tissues from areas of their body. Foundation experts later confirmed 
the removal of all soft tissue, including bone marrow, of the 
skeletonized loggers, and determined a human origin of the 
incorporated flesh in the trees through species analysis of the hair 
on the patches. 


The Foundation was alerted by local news reports, and immediately 
initiated cover-up procedures. The loggers’ deaths were explained 
as resulting from a gas leak from a cave in the nearby mountains, 
and the mass dehydration to the protesters’ drug use. SCP-1910 
was catalogued and contained; the affected plant matter was 
isolated at the newly-designated Bio Site-1910.

SCP-1911: Gramgrams 


Item #: SCP-1911 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Newly discovered instances of 
SCP-1911 are to be immediately reported to the supervising 
director. If at all possible, recording equipment should be set up in 
the domicile currently occupied by SCP-1911, and the following 
supplies are to be made available to SCP-1911: 


¢ Paper towels of any brand, 

¢ Cleaning products, including: bleach, ammonia, glass cleaner, 
vacuum bags, laundry detergent, and dish soap, 

¢ Supplies for knitting, quilting, sewing, or basket weaving, 

¢ Adult diapers in the current target's size. 


The target of SCP-1911 is to be kept alive and restrained by all 
possible means. If SCP-1911's target escapes, it is to be returned to 
the residence and restrained. If SCP-1911's target expires, 
observers of SCP-1911 are to be returned to Site-54 for 
reassignment, and the occupied domicile is to be scrapped or 
repurposed. 


Description: SCP-1911 is an entity taking the form of one (1) to 
approximately thirty (30) elderly females (which are referred to in 
reports by numerical designation), all of whom identify as grandma, 
gramgram, nanny, grammers, etc. SCP-1911 targets single, human 
males living alone, then attempts to entice them into allowing them 
access to their domicile. If SCP-1911 is denied access, more and 
more instances of the entity begin to appear, attempting to access 
different points in the home—door, windows, garage or storm doors, 
chimneys, etc. 


If SCP-1911 is continually denied access, it will attempt to force its 
way into the domicile. This rarely succeeds, as in spite of numbers, 


instances of SCP-1911 have no more physical strength than an 
elderly, human female. After failing to force its way into the home, 
SCP-1911 will dissipate. Usually, a plate of cookies, cakes, or 
sweets will be left on the doorstep with a handwritten note, 
expressing condolences at having not been able to spend time with 
‘my grandson.’ The target is never mentioned by name. 


In the event that SCP-1911 gains admittance to a residence, one 
instance of SCP-1911 immediately begins to communicate with the 
target, asking about a variety of subjects. It is currently believed that 
SCP-1911 uses a form of cold reading to determine information 
about the subject, then begins to expand the conversation. Usual 
topics include the target's parents, job, studies, or significant other. 


Other, non-conversational instances of SCP-1911 proceed to clean 
the residence. In all cases, the personal effects of the occupant are 
arranged, categorized in some logical form, and cleaned. Careful 
inspection reveals a complete lack of fingerprints, hair follicles, 
dander, or any other evidence of human occupancy. SCP-1911 
instances will cook for the target, knit or crochet articles of clothing 
for them, and, if necessary, feed them. 


In all instances, SCP-1911 continues to occupy the residence until 
the target expires or leaves for an extended period of time, at which 
point, instances of SCP-1911 express confusion at why the target 
would leave or stop talking to them. Instances of SCP-1911 wander 
away and dissipate over a period of one (1) to seven (7) hours after 
growing increasingly angry, bitter, and resentful at the lack of 
communication, leaving walkers, wheelchairs, canes, medical 
equipment (notably oxygen tanks and hearing aids), and purses. A 
full list of currently recovered items, collectively stored at Site-54, is 
available upon request. 


Previous Infestations 


SCP-1911 first came to Foundation attention in 1951. 
Since then, at least fourteen (14) infestations have been 
discovered, mostly after the infestation has dissipated. 
Four successful containments have been established. 


Listed below are previously recorded contaminants 
which were successfully established: 


Locations Number Documentation 
Manitested 

Dunlap, Virginia} 5 Target expressed 
confusion over the 
presence of 
SCP-1911, though 
he eventually 
admitted the 
instances. After 
phoning the local 
police about 
possible dementia 
patients having 
wandered away 
from their 
caregivers, 
Foundation 
operatives moved 
in and restrained 
the target. Target 
attempted to 
escape seven 
times, two of 
which were 
successful and 
resulted in 
additional 
restraints being 
placed on the 
subject. Lobotomy 
was suggested 
and carried out 
with approval. 
Target died due to 
choking in 195Y.

reportedly 
extremely similar 
to the target's 
grandmother, who 
had recently 
passed away. 
Target admitted 
SCP-1911 
immediately and 
willingly stayed 
and talked to the 
instance, leaving 
for short periods to 
buy more 
necessities. Target 
continued to 
contain SCP-1911 
unknowingly until 
his death in an 
automobile 
accident in 1964. 
SCP-1911 was 
reportedly present 
at the target's 
funeral, though no 
one acknowledged 
any resembiance. 
Target managed 
to maintain his 
distance through 
use of personal 
weaporry, killing 
seven 
manifestations. At 
some point, the 
target slipped off 
his roof, falling and 
breaking his leg, at 
which point he 
was overcome. 


SCP-1911 
instances then 
relocated the 
target to the inside 
of the domicile and 
proceeded to care 
for him while he 
recovered. 
Foundation 
personnel 
managed to locate 
the target shortly 
after food supplies 
ran out, and after 
restraining him, 
SCP-1911 
containment was 
considered active. 
Subject expired in 
1989 from sepsis 
due to bedsores 
which SCP-1911 
failed to detect. 


Current Containment Location: 


The current target of SCP-1911 is John Cheever (b. 1973), currently 
residing in Romney, West Virginia. Mr. Cheever's family is under the 
impression that the house was sold in 1992, and that Mr. Cheever 
severed all ties with them. Currently, the continued exposure to 
SCP-1911 has produced a Stockholm Syndrome effect, and Mr. 
Cheever believes that all instances of SCP-1911 are, in fact, his 
grandmothers. 


Current research is continuing on reproducing this effect as means 
to lower escape rates at future instances. 


Addendum SCP-1911-T: 


Recent audio reports from the current containment location of 
SCP-1911 were recently analyzed in a study by Dr. , who 
reported that SCP-1911 often talked about the current target's 
‘cousins.’ Research revealed that none of these 'cousins' existed. 
However, when compared to information from previous 
contaminants, several analogous instances were noted. The 
following is the originally discovered excerpt: 


12 JAN 1999, 14:43 
SCP-1911-1: Did | tell you about your cousin Maurie? 
Target: No, grams. How is he? 


SCP-1911-1: Well, let me tell you. You know he broke 
his leg? 


Target: Did he grams? 


SCP-1911-1: He did! And you know that gramma was 
there to take care of him, of course. And he was so 
angry and upset... Oh, heavens, he was upset. 


Target: Well, you know how he is. 


SCP-1911-1: Oh, | most certainly do. He was fighting 
and yelling and screaming, fit to be tied! 


Target: Why did he do that, grams? 


SCP-1911-1: Oh, you know him. Just ornery and hateful. 
Always has been. Can't help but lash out at people. 


Target: I'm sorry, grams. What happened? 


SCP-1911-1: Well, he got sick and died, honey. Not 
then, but later. | was so sad to see him go... 


Currently, this information is being used to search for undiscovered 
infestations of SCP-1911. Any notable similarities between these 
and real life events should be immediately reported to the 
supervising director. 


Possibly Previously Unknown Infestations 
17 SEPT 1997, 19:18 


SCP-1911-1: Did you know that your cousin 
Tony is in college now? He's going to be a 
doctor! Well, gramma couldn't be prouder of 
him. He works so hard. | wish he'd call. You 
know | went to see him again, and he wouldn't 
even answer the door?
