Description: Emerged from a wall in the 
master bedroom which had been heavily 
repainted in the past. Instance consisted of 
wet paint and approximately 45kg of human 
hair, later confirmed as belonging to Pol-5775. 
Immediately after manifestation, the instance 
began to frantically knead its face with both 
hands in an apparent attempt to reinforce its 


facial features. Instance solidified after 52 
seconds. 


#105: 


Description: Emerged from a tiled wall in the 
ground-floor bathroom. Instance was made of 
ceramic with crudely articulated ball joints. 
Immediately following its manifestation, the 
instance mimed the act of using a hammer and 
chisel for approximately 5 minutes before 
ceasing all activity. 


#132: 


Description: Emerged from a wall in the 
studio. Instance consisted of wet plaster. It 
repeatedly picked up sculpting tools and 
walked aimlessly around the room, before 
setting completely after 4 minutes and 
crumbling into dust. Several strips of bleached 
cloth, along with fragmented bones of 
apparently human origin, were recovered from 
the studio floor following decomposition of the 
instance. The bones were identified as 
belonging to Pol-5775. 


#179: 


Description: Emerged from the parquet 
panelling of a wall in the living room. Instance 
appeared to be made of wood and desiccated 
quickly in the span of 21 seconds. Throughout 
this time, instance appeared to be in a state of 
extreme disorientation and panic. A lacquered 
sheen was observed to spread over the 
instance after it stopped moving.

TRACK him! What the hell were you doing!? 


Dr. Haber: We WERE tracking him, we just lost... shit 
shit shit... 


Dr. Rubert: What a senseless waste. 


Addendum 342 G: Cessation of Experimentation Order: 
Somehow in the course of the most recent events, Dr. Haber got his 
neck stuck in the door when trying to help one of the subjects exit 
the train. As the train pulled away from the station, he was 
decapitated when it went past a jutting stone ledge. Because of this 
and the other unmitigatable casualties that happen after every 
normal experiment (one test subject per experiment), we have 
decided to end our research. O5-08, upon our urging, has invoked 
Statute 62, meaning that no other teams can perform trials on the 
object without our permission or the overruling of all twelve 
Overseers. We have decided to grant permission if they come to us 
with a novel test idea, one that has not been done before, as the 
usual experiments only waste lives and grant us no additional 
information. 


On a related note, several civilians have been buzzing on the topic 
of a haunting: specifically, some kind of specter on the train systems 
that carries a mysterious bundle in its lap while riding the trains, 
roughly the size of a human head. We have taken in several 
witness, but under no amount of hypnosis and drugging could they 
give a description of the apparition's face, saying it was obscured by 
darkness, or tell us what was beyond the shoulders at all. 


Addendum 342 H: Excerpt from Dr. Gunsther's Personal Log: 
Doctor Joahnes Getrim has disappeared from his house today. You 
can't escape, in the end. 


A year ago, we tried an experiment where the ticket would be torn 
but the rider would not get on. Doctor Getrim decided to be the one 
to redeem the ticket, and immediately afterwards, hand it to an 
agent and walk away to a special on-site protection zone, keeping a 
journal of his experiences. The journal (attached to the file) soeaks 
of severe anxiety, neurosis, fear, and paranoia. He had unrelenting 
fear of roads, and often spent the night on-site so he would not have

SCP-2899: A Collection of Debris in the North Pacific 
Gyre 


Item #: SCP-2899 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2899 is immovable, due 
both to its size and composition and to its dependence on the 
unique conditions of the North Pacific Gyre, and so containment is 
restricted to suppressing knowledge of and access to SCP-2899 and 
its environs. Since SCP-2899 is mobile, however, dedicated 
Foundation research ships must keep track of its location and 
bearing, using both observations of patterns in floating debris and of 
anomalous movement of subsurface particulates. 


All seagoing vessels that approach or enter the Gyre must be 
monitored; those vessels wishing to simply pass through the Gyre 
should be diverted. Vessels that enter the Gyre for reasons 
pertaining to the Gyre itself and its ecosystem (including 
accumulated marine debris) should include embedded Foundation 
agents whenever possible. Any other vessels that enter the Gyre 
must be intercepted by Foundation assets to ascertain the vessel's 
motives and to administer amnestics as necessary. 


There are currently no prohibitions on aircraft passing through the 
Gyre at cruising altitudes, but any aircraft that enter the area low 
enough to study the Gyre must be monitored and/or intercepted as 
above. Information gathered from satellite imagery is currently not 
affected beyond normal suppression of data about Foundation 
assets. 


Description: SCP-2899 is a collection of accumulated debris within 
the North Pacific Gyre that exhibits at least two anomalous 

properties regarding its composition and behavior. The composition 
of SCP-2899 is largely similar to the rest of the waters of the Gyre— 
extremely high levels of particulate and microparticulate plastic with 


more scattered larger debris. However, the debris contained within 
SCP-2899 tends to be more organized, exhibiting patterns based on 
the chemical composition and physical characteristics of debris 
items. Additionally, any debris introduced to or accumulated by 
SCP-2899 will be slowly integrated into these patterns. The 
frequency and complexity of the patterns that arise all but rule out 
creation by random chance, particularly in light of the other 
anomalous observation of SCP-2899. 


Just beneath the water's surface under SCP-2899, remote-operated 
probes have detected streams of plastic particulates moving at 30 to 
70 cm/sec, despite the absence of any currents or winds (or even 
the presence of currents or winds blowing in the opposite direction). 
These particulate streams generally end at a location with a locally 
higher concentration of debris; extrapolation of the paths of these 
streams show, in most cases, another high-debris-content location 
along the path of origin. The longest such stream so far observed 
measured just over 700 meters, although since the formation of a 
particulate stream has yet to be observed, the actual length of these 
streams could be much longer. 


The exact size of SCP-2899 is difficult to determine. Its surface area 
is estimated to be between 400 and 10,000 km2, and may fluctuate 
as atmospheric and oceanic conditions change. SCP-2899 is 
believed to encompass the material suspended in the water under 
its surface area to a depth of approximately 12 meters. Researchers 
believe (with 70-75% certainty) that the anomalous properties 
observed in the Gyre are a sign of a nascent sentience within 
SCP-2899, although based on current evidence, manipulation by an 
external agency cannot be ruled out. Research on SCP-2899 is 
focused primarily on discovering the source of its anomalous 
properties; secondary research is focused on establishing 
communications with SCP-2899 or with the entity or entities causing 
the anomalies in the Gyre. Vessels have also been dispatched to 
other locations within the North Pacific Gyre, as well as to the Gyres 
in the rest of the world's oceans, to attempt to locate entities similar 
to SCP-2899.

SCP-2900: Nobody gets left behind 


Item #: SCP-2900 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2900 are 
to be reported by Site-19 staff as they are found and referred to 
Doctor Yang for inspection and testing. They are to be stored in 
large storage locker 23233. They must be placed at least one meter 
from the walls of the storage locker. All are to be handled using 1.5 
meter long manipulation arms. All personnel on Site-19 are to be 
informed of what a SCP-2900 instance looks like and any personnel 
receiving an instance are to be tested weekly for 3 months after 
receiving said instance for any anomalous effects. Currently 
SCP-2900 has show no adverse anomalous effects. Site-19's 
current monitoring system is enough to prevent the effect from 
spreading exponentially. 


All SCP-2900 instances are to be tagged and given back to their 
initial recipients, provided said recipients are Foundation personnel 
assigned to Site-19. Instances are allowed to be put on display in 
researchers’ offices. All recipients will be provided with a glass case 
meeting containment standards for SCP-2900. No instances are 
allowed to leave Site-19 to prevent spreading of its anomalous 
effects. 


Description: SCP-2900 is an anomalous effect that spreads via 
SCP-2900 instances. SCP-2900 instances are a variety of trophies, 
certificates, and medals denoting performance in the recipient's 
chosen field of work. It has been noted that not all SCP-2900 
instances denote exemplary performance, as seen in several 
SCP-2900 instances. SCP-2900 itself affects all sapient beings who 
pass within a 1 meter radius of any given instance. SCP-2900 
manifests by anomalously creating an SCP-2900 instance for said 
sapient being, hereby referred to as the recipient. This instance 


appears when one of the recipient's places of storing/showcasing 
other awards or accolades, or a prominent place solely used by the 
recipient, goes unmonitored for 5 minutes. SCP-2900 seems to 
prioritize places of work for this effect, and does not seem to be able 
to place an SCP-2900 instance in a location over 1 km away. This 
effect persists for one hour after the recipient has passed through 
the area of effect, and fades if suitable conditions cannot be found. 
SCP-2900 instances can be recognized by the Achievement Co logo 
on the bottom/back of all instances. 


SCP-2900 was first discovered at High School, . It came to 
the Foundation's attention after multiple reports of the appearance of 
"Participation Awards" from multiple students. Hundreds of 
instances were discovered in an unused corridor of the school. 
Fortunately, the effect was not yet widespread and a containment 
team was able to track down all instances. 


Addendum: 7/15/ SCP-2900 instances began manifesting for 
multiple security personnel. Testing revealed that the SCP-2900 
area of effect had increased to 2 meters. The next day this area of 
effect had increased to 3 meters. Return of SCP-2900 instances to 
their Foundation recipients stopped the SCP-2900 effect completely 
for a month. After this all SCP-2900 instances' areas of effect 
returned to normal. SCP-2900 seems to add about one instance per 
week, provided there are monitoring lapses, which are generally 
caused by the breach of other SCPs. After another instance is 
added, provided the recipient continues to display their instance, all 
instances will cease their anomalous effect for a period between 2 
days and 3 months, varying instance to instance. Containment 
procedures revised.
