SCP-2231-1, -2, and -3 were identified through standard 
computer analytics of atypical flight patterns when 
SCP-2231-1 purchased airline tickets for SCP-2231-2 
and -3 on one way flights to Boise Air Terminal - Gowen 
Field (BOI). No prior connection between the 3 instances 
was found in the Foundation Societal Interaction 
Fishbone (FSIF) experimental software and the 
instances were flagged for interrogation at their Chicago 
O'Hare International Airport (ORD) layover by onsite 
Foundation personnel. 


The anomalous characteristics of SCP-2231 were readily 


apparent during the interrogation. SCP-2231-1, -2, and 
-3 were processed and contained without incident.

Interview 2231-3: 

Interview was conducted by Researcher Patel, subject of 
interview was SCP-2231-1. This was the third officially 
recorded interview since the containment of SCP-2231-1 
through -3 six days prior. 


Conducted 11/02/2013 


Dr. Patel: Please state your name for the 
record. 


SCP-2231-1: Johnathan Tran. 


Dr. Patel: Do you ever go by other names or 
aliases? 


SCP-2231-1: Ah, yes, Adunola Omolade, Choi 
Jung-jae, and Sajida Talfah. 


Dr. Patel: Do you not find it strange that you 
have four separate names? 


SCP-2231-1: It’s not that weird, think of 
someone named Mary-Beth Teresa Johnson, 
or something. 


Dr. Patel: (Makes note of subject's lack of 
understanding of the previous question) And 
what is your citizenship? 


SCP-2231-1: I’m an American sir, but I’ve got 
citizenship in Pakistan, South Korea, and 
Nigeria. 


Dr. Patel: And where were you born?

Let me officially give you congratulations on your 
promotion, General Trent. It's a sad, sad thing that 
happened to your predecessor, but such is the way of 
things when working for The Foundation. Regardless, | 
looked into the various classified files that General 
Gerhart had under lock and key with your access codes, 
and found out some really surprising things about 
SCP-256. 


First off, the list of authorized personnel are not 
surgically adapted in any way. In fact, many of them 
have never undergone anything more serious than the 
mandated physical. And civilians, tsk tsk. | can't even 
begin to understand why General Gerhart let them even 
know of the base. Containment agents have been 


SCP-2231-1: | was born in Idaho Falls. 


Dr. Patel: And how was it you came by your 
Pakistani citizenship? 


SCP-2231-1: Well, | was born in Karachi. 


Dr. Patel: How is it you were born in Karachi 
as well as Idaho Falls? 


SCP-2231-1: | was born in Karachi then Idaho 
Falls. Actually to be strictly technical | was 
born in Karachi then Seoul then Idaho Falls. 


Dr. Patel: And what is your social security 
number? 


SCP-2231-1: -- (Refer to Addendum 
2231-2 for additional information) 


Dr. Patel: (Produces pictures of SCP-2231-2 
and -3) And are you familiar with these two 
individuals? 


SCP-2231-1: Is this a joke? That’s me. 


For the sake of brevity the remainder of the interview is 
omitted. SCP-2231-1 continued to demonstrate a 
fundamental failure to grasp that there was anything 
strange about its identification with three separate bodies 
and four separate identities. SCP-2231-1 then 
proceeded to demonstrate a detailed, intimate, and 
consistent recollection of the personal physical histories 
of SCP-2231-2 and SCP-2231-3. 


Interview 2231-11: 

Interview was conducted by Researcher Patel, subject of 
interview was SCP-2231-1, -2, and -3. This is the first 
joint interview of all three instances since they entered 
containment. 


Conducted 11/10/2013 


Dr. Patel: Please state your name for the 
record. 


SCP-2231-3: Johnathan Tran, and in 
anticipation of your next question, Adunola 
Omolade, Choi Jung-jae, and Sajida Talfah. 


Dr. Patel: Very good. Would you please 
identify the number of hands you have, one at 
a time, holding each hand up as you count. 
Start with whatever hand you'd like. 


(SCP-2231-2 raises their left hand as they say 
“one”, then SCP-2231-3 raises their right hand 
as SCP-2231-1 says “two”. Subject pauses 
briefly before proceeding in this manner to a 
count of six) 


Dr. Patel: Now, please state how many hands 
you have. 


SCP-2231-2: Two. 


Dr. Patel: Please look to your left, and tell me 
what you see. 


SCP-2231-1 through -3 simultaneously look to 
the left. 


SCP-2231-3: | see the back of my head and 
the wall. 


Dr. Patel: And one final question. Do you 
know where you currently are? Please be 
comprehensive with your response. 


SCP-2231-1: 18 Drive, Boise, Idaho, 
and Interview room C416 of wing 3 of, well | 
don’t know what this building is still, 
somewhere in Illinois, | think. (Refer to 
Addendum 2231-2 for additional information) 


Dr. Patel: Very good, that will be all. Officer 
Griggs will return you to your rooms. 


SCP-2231 demonstrates significant cognitive dissonance 
regarding their identity. Although largely internally 
consistent, SCP-2231 does not appear to appreciate the 
fundamental fact that it is three separate individuals, and 
that furthermore, none of those three individuals are who 
it prefers to identify as. Over the course of several 
interviews SCP-2231 instances became considerably 
more adept at providing information which proved 
accurate about their physical history, in conjunction with 
the anomalous information which the subject prefers to 
provide. 


Addendum 2231-2: POI-2231-1 Designation 


Added 11/12/2013 


Investigation of the personally identifying information 
provided by SCP-2231-1 through -3 regarding Johnathan 
Tran proved accurate. SCP-2231 is able to provide the 
current location of Johnathan Tran at all times, as well as 
comprehensive background information and information 
about Mr. Tran’s state of mind in real time. 


Mr. Tran is now classified as POI-2231-1 
+ Show Testing Log 2231 
Test 2231-1: 


Conducted 01/19/2014 


Purpose: To observe the effect of physical 
stress as it is experienced across each 
instance of SCP-2231, and if that response 
extends to POI-2231-1. 


Procedure: SCP-2231-1 was exposed to the 


Foundation standard battery of stress eliciting 
stimuli including optional high threshold 
thermal testing. The responses of SCP-2231-2 
and -3 were monitored simultaneously within 
their separate containment units. The 
response of POI-2231-1 was observed 
remotely by Foundation field personnel. 


Results: Total time for completion of testing 
battery is 11 minutes 21 seconds. SCP-2231-2 
and -3, both confined to their containment 
cells, showed significant stress responses and 
agitation as SCP-2231-1 undergoes the test 
procedure. Notable response symmetry 
includes pupil dilation, sweating, shivering and 
generalized adrenal response as the battery 
progressed. The only asymmetry in response 
occured when neither SCP-2231-2 nor -3 
demonstrated muscle stretch reflex responses 
during portion 4A of the testing battery. 
Approximately 90 seconds after the cesation of 
testing the stress response is no longer 
evident in SCP-2231-2 or -3, although 
SCP-2231-1 followed the typical stress 
cesation pattern for non-anomalous humans 
over the next 45 minutes. 


POI-2231-1 showed no reaction at any point 
during this experiment. 


Conclusions: The mental connection between 
SCP-2231-1, -2, and -3 extends to include 
visceral experience of any physical sensation 
which the other instances are subject to. The 
mechanism by which this sensory & emotional 
data is integrated with the first person 
experience of each instance is unclear, given 
how each instance is capable of autonomous 
action (walking, talking, performing basic 
maintenance of life functions) completely 


independent of other instances. 


The lack of reaction by POI-2231-1 suggests 
an asymmetric anomalous experiential link 
between the instances of SCP-2231 and 
POI-2231-1. The standard battery of stress 
eliciting stimuli is intentionally designed to elicit 
autonomic responses in subjects, suggesting 
that, if POI-2231-1 has any appreciation for the 
experience of SCP-2231 instances, that link is 
significantly muted compared to the 
anomalous link of the SCP instances. 


Addendum 2231-3: SCP-2231-4 Designation 


Added 03/07/2014 


As per direction issued from the office of Research 
Director Ashley, POI-2231-1 has been taken into 
indefinite Foundation containment and classified as 
SCP-2231-4. The basis for this decision is the 
unacceptable risk to classified information (amongst 
other things, the existence of the Foundation and Site 
17) should SCP-2231-4 be successfully concealing, or 
eventually develop, a symmetrical mental connection to 
SCP-2231-1 through -3 as they share with SCP-2231-4. 


SCP-2231-4 is to be kept ignorant of the existence of 
SCP-2231-1 through -3. Researcher Patel will continue 
in his current capacity as New-Containment-Introduction 
(NCI) lead for SCP-2231. 


Addendum 2231-4: Object Neutralization 


Added 05/02/2014 


SCP-2231-4 was fatally wounded by security personnel 
after assaulting a guard as it was escorted from interview 
room H203. Appropriate disciplinary actions are being 


considered for the offending security personnel. Review 
of security footage of SCP-2231-1 through -3 at the 
moment of expiration of SCP-2231-4 show all three 
instances simultaneously collapsing. Following medical 
examination SCP-2231-1, -2, and -3 showed a complete 
cessation of higher brain function, and have been moved 
to the medical wing of Site 17 and placed on life support. 


SCP-2231 reclassified as neutralized. 


« SCP-2230 | SCP-2231 | SCP-2232 » 


SCP-2232: Birdphone. Think Different. 


Item #: SCP-2232 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Each instance of SCP-2232 is 

to be kept in a standard Safe-class containment locker when not in 

use. Using SCP-2232 to make calls or send text messages must be 
done in the presence of a certified bird handler. 


SCP-2232 must not be left unattended while being charged. 


Use of SCP-2232 instances for tracking telephone based anomalies, 
including SCP-1750, has been approved on a case by case basis. 


Description: SCP-2232 is a smartphone superficially resembling a 
sky-blue Samsung Galaxy S4, running on a modified version of the 
Android operating system listed as Android 5.7.4 "Delicious 
Sunflower Seeds". SCP-2232's casing has so far resisted all 
attempts to be opened, and any attempts to do so have resulted in 
SCP-2232 vibrating violently and emitting a loud, squawking noise. 
10 9 instances of SCP-2232 are currently in Foundation possession, 
labeled as SCP-2232-01 through -10!. 


Update: As per Incident-2232-01, SCP-2232-03 has been 
neutralised. Samples of its remains are currently stored in the Inert 
Biological Sample wing of Site-77. 


Using SCP-2232 to call a valid telephone number causes it to 
transform into a common hill myna, which then appears to 
reproduce via budding to produce a second, smaller myna. The 
second instance, designated SCP-2232-A, will then attempt to fly 
directly towards the location of the dialed telephone. SCP-2232 has 
been found to be able to locate both mobile and landline telephones 
once provided with the appropriate number. However, should 
SCP-2232 be used to call telephones located more than 40km 


away, it will instead prompt the user to "kindly enable Airplane Mode 
for long-distance communication." 


Once it has reached its destination, SCP-2232-A will then attempt to 
attract the attention of the nearest human being by mimicking loud 
noises like alarms or heavy machinery, or flapping its wings in his/ 
her face. From this point onwards, SCP-2232 and SCP-2232-A will 
function as a two-way voice transmission system, with speech 
addressed to the former instantaneously vocalised by the latter and 
vice versa. The call can be terminated any time by grabbing either 
myna and turning it gently upside-down, resulting in SCP-2232 
reverting to its smartphone form, and SCP-2232-A disappearing in a 
puff of carbon dust. 


Using SCP-2232 to send a text message to a valid mobile telephone 
number causes SCP-2232 to transform into a homing pigeon, 
designated SCP-2232-B. SCP-2232-B will then travel towards the 
messaged mobile telephone, vocalise the text message, and travel 
back to its original location. Should its destination be more than 
500km away, SCP-2232 will also prompt the user to enable Airplane 
Mode. 


Enabling Airplane Mode from SCP-2232's settings will apparently 
allow calls and messages to be sent to any location on Earth; 
however, SCP-2232 will instead assume the form of (in the case of a 
text message), or produce an instance of (in the case of a telephone 
call), a great white pelican, designated SCP-2232-C. SCP-2232-C 
will then proceed to travel towards the location of its recipient. Upon 
reaching its destination, SCP-2232-C will open its beak, revealing 
either an instance of SCP-2232-A or SCP-2232-B, which will then 
perform its intended function as detailed above. Once the intended 
function has been performed, SCP-2232-C appears to consume the 
instance of SCP-2232-A or SCP-2232-B and fly back towards its 
original location. 


The avian forms of SCP-2232 will stop for food and water along their 
journeys, rest when tired, and have been known to ride on vehicles 
to reach their destinations. SCP-2232 is highly impractical as a form 
of communication, as short-range calls can take up to a day to reach 
its recipient, while long-range intercontinental transmissions are 
estimated to take up to several years. 


Incident-2232-01: Following scheduled experimentation on 
03/05/15, Research Assistant Chang left SCP-2232-03 plugged into 
its charging port overnight in storage locker #284. When the 
containment locker was reopened the next day, a large white mass 
rapidly expanded outwards from it, pinning Research Assistant 
Chang onto the opposite wall of the storage room and swiftly 
obscuring the view of the security cameras. On-site security forces 
found the door of the storage room blocked from the inside, and 
eventually gained access using low-yield explosives. 


The inside of the storage room appeared to be uniformly lined with a 
thick layer of flesh covered in white feathers, with the exception of 
the inside of locker #284, which was heavily charred. Samples of the 
flesh sent for analysis revealed it to be of avian origin, and consisted 
of living muscle tissue connected to a rudimentary blood supply with 
several hearts. An extensive skeletal framework supporting the 
muscle tissue was also discovered, apparently made of copper, 
glass and assorted plastics. Site maintenance staff armed with 
propane torches and machetes eventually extracted the body of 
Research Assistant Chang and evacuated the other items contained 
in the storage room. The remaining flesh was then excised and the 
room disinfected with bleach. 


Incident-2232-02: On 20/08/15, SCP-2232-08 began vibrating and 
Cawing on its own accord. Its screen indicated that it was receiving 
an incoming long-distance call. With permission from Head 
Researcher Tannenbaum, Research Assistant Goh answered 
SCP-2232-08, which promptly assumed its myna form. The following 
conversation was recorded.
