¢ If the SCP-2455-1 instance is identified as a member of 
Foundation personnel and classified information is discussed 
in the presence of SCP-2455, SCP-2455 is to be administered 
a low-grade amnestic after the manifestation ceases. Internal 
Affairs is to be notified. 

If the SCP-2455-1 instance exhibits behavior analogous to 
being under the effects of another SCP object, a containment 
team is to be dispatched to 2455's cell, and the corresponding 
object secured to preemptively prevent contact from occurring. 


Description: SCP-2455 is a Caucasian woman of 21 years of age, 
capable of generating anomalous projections, designated 
SCP-2455-1. SCP-2455 possesses no anomalous properties 
outside of a SCP-2455-1 manifestation event, and is noted by staff 
as indecisive to the point of apathy towards its own containment. 


Instances of SCP-2455-1 will manifest in the nearest space 
available. These entities appear identical to SCP-2455, with one 
visible factor altered, most commonly clothing. Generally 
SCP-2455-1 instances will be observed wearing a uniform 
corresponding to an organization SCP-2455 is not currently affiliated 
with. SCP-2455-1 instances have been confirmed to possess 
knowledge comparable, if not an exact match, to that of 
SCP-2455's, in addition to expected information regarding their 
apparent affiliation.1 


SCP-2455 claims that SCP-2455-1 manifests when it is faced with a 
‘major decision’. See test logs attached below for analysis on this 
claim. SCP-2455-1 instances appear with the sole intention of 
insuring SCP-2455 'picks their future’. SCP-2455 claims the first 
appearance of SCP-2455-1 occurred shortly before its graduation 
from University, as SCP-2455 was attempting to choose which 
business to apply for employment with. Two instances of 
SCP-2455-1 manifested, one 'representing' the Corporation, and 
the other the store, a local business. Both instances possessed 
knowledge of the working conditions of both positions, and 
attempted to convince SCP-2455 to 'pick them’. 


+ Test log 2455 
Test 001 - 04/ /20 


Procedure: Subject is offered a different 
colored uniform. 

Results: No SCP-2455-1 manifestation. 
Analysis: Trivial decisions do not appear to 
trigger SCP-2455's effects. 


Test 002 - 04/ /20 


Procedure: Subject is asked if it wished to be 
moved to a different site. 

Results: No SCP-2455-1 manifestation. 
Analysis: From SCP-2455's point of view, the 
two situations were identical. 


Test 003 - 04/ /20 


Procedure: Subject is offered employment 
with the Foundation. 

Results: No SCP-2455-1 manifestation. 
Analysis: Subject was visibly conflicted by this 
decision, however no manifestation event 
occurred. 


| wonder if SCP-2455's effects could tell that we were not 
genuine with our offer? - Dr Vauge. 


Test 034 - 06/ /20 


Procedure: Unplanned test. As no test 
conducted so far had resulted in a 
manifestation event, the research staff were 
considering doing final tests and declaring 
SCP-2455 non-anomalous. 

Results: SCP-2455-1 manifested wearing 
casual street clothes. Upon manifestation, 
SCP-2455-1 attempted to hide from research 
staff. When discovered, SCP-2455-1 vanished 
immediately. 

Analysis: In the time period between 
SCP-2455-1 manifesting and its discovery, 
there was a real chance that SCP-2455 would 
be administered amnestics and released back 
into society. This indicates three things: first, 
that it does not have to be SCP-2455's 
decision that affects its future, that there has to 
be a real chance of that future occurring, and 
that SCP-2455-1 manifestations are not 
necessarily conductive to that future. 


Test 036 - 07/ /20 


Procedure: Dr —_ (currently under watch from 
Internal Affairs for known sympathies to 
humanoid anomalies) was asked to interview 
SCP-2455. 

Results: SCP-2455-1 manifested wearing the 
uniform of a junior researcher, and attempts to 
convince Dr _ to employ SCP-2455, citing the 
precedents of [REDACTED]. SCP-2455-1 
ignored SCP-2455. 

Analysis: This manifestation was aware of 
classified information, notably the anomalous 
natures of [REDACTED]. Further questioning 
revealed that SCP-2455-1 was in possession 
of knowledge which would be expected of a 
Foundation employee with level 2 clearance. 


Test 041 - 31/ /20 


Procedure: Unplanned test. SCP-2455 was 
being moved to another facility. 

Results: SCP-2455-1 manifested wearing the 
same clothing as SCP-2455, however was 
infected with SCP- 

Analysis: The infected manifestation 
attempted to attack SCP-2455 to infect it with 
SCP- . The escorting guards were able to 
neutralize the instance as they would a normal 
SCP- victim. Shortly afterwards, a 
containment breach occurred at Site- , during 
which samples of SCP-_ were released. 
Possibility of using SCP-2455 as an ‘early 
warning’ system is deemed worthy of further 
research. 


+ Interview Log 2455-A 


Interviewed: An SCP-2455-1 instance 
identical to the one produced by test 036. 


Interviewer: Dr (Necessary to cause this 
instance of SCP-2455-1 to manifest) 


Foreword: SCP-2455-1 had been taken to 
another room so that SCP-2455 would not be 
involved. 


<Begin Log, 14/ /20 > 


Dr  : May! have your name? 


SCP-2455-1: 

Dr _ _: And the girl you were found with, what 
is her name? 

SCP-2455-1: She's as well. 


Dr  : And the other 2455-1 instances are...? 


SCP-2455-1: Idiots. 
Dr :1beg your pardon? 


SCP-2455-1: The way | am now my future is 
either with the Foundation or locked up by the 
Foundation. | don't want to be locked up, but 
no, wants to be a baker... 


Dr ___: If | may ask, what exactly is your 
relation to SCP-2455? 


SCP-2455-1: She's my starting point. My 
‘iteration zero’. 


Dr _ :Andher relationship to you? 
SCP-2455-1: I'm her, as a researcher. 


Dr :Wehave no records of you working for 
us. 


SCP-2455-1: Well of course not. | haven't 
happened yet. 


Dr _ : Are you from a possible future? 
SCP-2455-1: | am a possible future. Hers. 


Dr :So, before you manifested, you 
were...? 


SCP-2455-1: Waiting to happen. And here | 
am! 


Dr :Hmm. Interview concluded for now. 
SCP-2455-1: Wait, can't | join now? 


Dr ___: If you are what you claim, you know 
there are procedures that need following. 
Doubly so for one such as you. 


SCP-271: Inscribed Disc 


Item #: SCP-271 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-271 is to be stored as 
long as possible in Containment Unit !12 in 

on a meter-high stone pedestal (SCP-271-01), which will be flooded 
with water and sealed off in a hollow 5-cm-thick sphere, composed 
of glass saturated with iron. Permanent neodymium- magnets 
will be mounted around the (standard-sized) room to suspend the 
sphere in-air and repel unwanted intruders. The room will be lined 
with pyrolitic carbon to contain the magnetic field generated by the 
magnets. The door to the room is to be left unguarded and disguised 
as an ordinary janitorial closet, and kept locked by an unobtrusive 
password box mounted in the wall down the hallway and around the 
corner that appears to be a thermostat. Dr. Vg is to change the 
password on a monthly basis. All study is to be observation-only 
until further notice. In case of unauthorized access electromagnets 
in the room are to be activated by remote to destroy the glass 
sphere so that recovery may be simplified. 


Description: SCP-271 is a small disk, composition unknown but 
metallic in nature, a little more than 4 cm in diameter, and engraved 
with a number of symbols that may or may not represent an 
unknown alphabet. These symbols are infectious to their 
environment over time, gradually appearing as if invisibly carved into 
nearby objects. They are capable of escaping through any hole, 
however minute, but have been demonstrated to be unable to 
penetrate non-gaseous fluids. Objects that carry the symbols for a 
sufficient time begin to be changed on a molecular level to the same 
material as the SCP; both the engraving and petrification processes 
are extremely painful to biotic organisms. The only known method 
for purging the symbols is the destruction of the object, and it is not 
possible to do this to SCP-271 itself. 


SCP-2455-1: But... you can't! You don't 
understand, / need to happen now or | never 
will! 


Dr :SCP-2455's situation is static for now, 
however there lies a possibility that - 


SCP-2455-1: That wouldn't be me, it would be 
one of the others! 


Dr : 2455-1 - 
SCP-2455-1: [Subject screams in hysterics. ] 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: At this point, the 
overseeing guard aborted the interview. 
2455-1 instance immediately vanished.

SCP-2456: Dreams of a Broken World 


Item #: SCP-2456 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the memetic nature of 
SCP-2456, as well as the high number of suspected infected 
individuals, complete containment of SCP-2456 is not physically 
possible with current Foundation technology. Foundation Research 
is currently developing thematic methods of neutralizing all 
SCP-2456 instances in the wild. Access to any manuscripts 
documenting past SCP-2456-«a instances is limited to Level 3+ 
personnel currently involved in Project Montagu. 


While active alpha instances are rare in the wild, SCP-2456 is 
categorized as a Class III memetic hazard, and is considered a high 
priority. WebCrawler GH739U (“Lorem Ipsum’) is set to scan for any 
keywords related to SCP-2456-1 on various social media sites, cult 
databases, and domains. Once identified, alpha instances are to be 
retrieved by suitable field agents and brought to Site-33. a-instances 
under research must be kept in a Class III MKHC1. Testing with D- 
Class is limited to Level 3 personnel. All testing with active 
SCP-2456 instances has been halted. Testing is limited to the o- 
state of SCP-2456, and must be under the oversight of Level 4 
personnel. Under no circumstances should two active o-instances 
ever be introduced to one another. In the case of a breach, Site-33 
is to initiate lockdown procedures, and Class-IIl memetic kill agents 
will be dispensed throughout the facility (See Incident 2456-C for 
more details) 


lf SCP-2456 reaches epidemic levels, the use of Protocol MOBAB 
in its final or prototype form is pre-approved. Mobile Task Force 
w-10 (“Salt Sowers”) is assigned to handle cleanup of the aftermath, 
in addition to managing total suppression of media. 


Description: SCP-2456 is believed to be a memetic parasite that is 


present in an estimated 0.7% of the human population. SCP-2456 
lays dormant in a majority of the affected, and is not contagious in its 
initial form. Possible signs of SCP-2456 infection include: 


* An affinity towards astrology, astronomy, and/or various 
pseudosciences 

* An increased proficiency in speaking foreign dialects, particularly 
those in the Balto-Slavic and Afro-Asiatic regions. 

¢ Prolonged episodes of acute psychosis and paranoia 

* OCD and a high attention span for geometrical shapes, patterns, 
and sequences of five. 

* Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) 


SCP-2456 will leave its dormant state once several stress triggers 
have been activated, and the subject will then undergo an o-event. 
The subject will fall into a period of advanced REM sleep, lasting up 
to three to four days. After awaking, a-instances will claim to have 
had a series of vivid, cryptic dreams. These consist of visions of past 
prophets from assorted theologies being executed by a saber or 
sword, and celestial bodies “dancing” in the sky. The SCP-2456 
strain as found in a-instances can be eliminated with the use of 
Class-D amnestics during this time. 


Following the o-event, the subject relapses back into a six-day to 
six-year dormancy, followed by their B-state. During this state, the o- 
instance will begin preaching SCP-2456-1, an abstract theology that 
is the only known transmissible form of SCP-2456. Subjects infected 
in this way are referred to as B-instances. Infection rates are high in 
observed subjects, with a ~70% success rate at a ~4% falloff. 
Knowledge of SCP-2456-1, and of its core components, is not 
contagious; infection requires direct auditory contact with an o- 
instance or B-instance, and the victim must have strong pre-existing 
religious beliefs beforehand. 


SCP-2456-1 is always monotheistic in nature, and can be 
characterized by several distinguishable qualities: 


* SCP-2456-1 will begin as a variation of an existing theology. 

* The number five will appear frequently in written doctrine. 

¢ Godhead figures are synonymous with the sun, and are believed to 
bring about a future apocalypse. 


* Mentions of a nonexistent “Gzymmtprhic Sea” uncommonly 
appears in scripture. Foundation Research is currently searching for 
a correlation with SCP- 

¢ Many references to celestial objects, based on existing 
astronomical knowledge at the time. 

¢ The appearance of hands and regular quadrilaterals in religious 
icons and symbols. 

* Religious symbols of the sun have some limited form of 
mathematical significance. 


SCP-2456-1 has a weak reality-warping effect that varies with every 
iteration, and in its initial state, is virtually harmless. With every new 
B-instance created, this effect grows exponentially in radius and 
strength. SCP-2456-1 also incites violence and aggression, 
commonly leading to self-mutilation and war-like behavior among 
the infected. B-instances actively seek out the uninfected, and will 
either spread SCP-2456 infection, or attempt to murder them. 


Dormant SCP-2456-a instances are immune to infection by 
SCP-2456-1, and may aggressively react if exposed. However, 
exposure to SCP-2456-1 causes stress in the subject, and will 
increase the chances of SCP-2456 activation. If two active o- 
instances ever come into contact, then [DATA EXPUNGED] (Please 
see Incident 2456-C). 


No SCP-2456-a instance has been successful in infecting more than 
5% of the existing human population. Current Foundation 
simulations indicate a CK-Class End of the World scenario if 
SCP-2456 infection rates ever exceed 7%, with the contagion 
becoming virulent to the point where treatment becomes impossible. 
In addition to this, SCP-2456-1's reality-warping effect is likely to 
fracture the integrity of space-time at those levels —if infection rates 
exceed 96%, SCP-2456-1 is predicted to [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Discovery: SCP-2456 was first discovered by an unscheduled raid 
on a Serpent's Hand base in Eugene, Oregon. On 06/10/2016, MTF 
Tau-9 "Bookworms" was charged with the acquisition of a copy of 
SCP-__, which was believed to have been stowed in an abandoned 
industrial warehouse. Serpent's Hand members were discovered 
inside upon break-and-entry, and a firefight ensued. Foundation 
casualties totaled 11. After recovery of SCP- and other related 


anomalous artifacts, a wooden crate was found next to a furnace 
with the lettering "FIFTHCYCLEOFTHEMIND" stamped onto its 
side. The cache was discovered to contain numerous Fifthist texts, 
including an extra copy of SCP-__, and a weathered note which 
read: 


George, this is our latest catch; please burn these as 
soon as you can at you're (sic) discretion. Don't let the 
idiots find this. —L.S. 


At the bottom of the stockpile, several aged manuscripts were 
uncovered that detailed past SCP-2456-1 instances, and alarmed 
Foundation historians about a possible unidentified SCP. 


Below is a list of past SCP-2456-1 instances. As of now, there are 
six known variations of SCP-2456-1. However, research has shown 
potential evidence of an additional more. Descriptions may be 
added or changed as new information is uncovered.
