SCP-2961: Maybe. Rodriguez just stared at 
me for what seemed like an eternity, weighing 
up the situation. Finally he gestured back 
towards the trunk. “Him. Get him out of the 
trunk. Put him in the driver’s seat,” he said. 
And | did. | felt sick. But | did as he asked. 
Then he said, “Do what you just did again,” he 
said. “Do it again. Make everything clean.” And 
| did. God forgive me, | did. 


DR J PASCAL: Who were the victims? 


SCP-2961: | didn’t ask, he didn't say. | know 
Rodriguez liked to take risks. Maybe the 
thought of driving down the highway with a 
torture victim gagged in the trunk, and his wife 
and kid terrified in the back, maybe it gave him 
a buzz. | don't know. 


DR J PASCAL: So what happened? 


SCP-2961: He got into the back seat of my car 
and told me to get in the front. | did. Then he 
told me to drive. | followed his directions. Turn 
right here, turn left here... After maybe twenty, 
thirty minutes he told me to stop. | don't 
remember what happened next. | woke up ina 
dark room. 


DR J PASCAL: You disappeared. 


SCP-2961: Yes. | spent my days chained up in 
an outhouse in the grounds of his villa. He saw 
how | could help further his lifestyle. He forced 
me to take drugs; it appealed to his sense of 
irony. Me, locked up in his villa and totally 


dependent on whatever chemicals he threw 
my way. Thank you, though. 


DR J PASCAL: For...? 


SCP-2961: For making me clean. | don't know 
how - and I'm not sure | want to. But thank 
you. 


DR J PASCAL: It's a routine process. Getting 
back to the drug use at the villa; wouldn't that 
be counter-productive? 


SCP-2961: No - by then, maybe a year in - | 
was using my ability almost all the time. It got 
to the stage where | couldn't control it 
anymore. It became a constant, unconscious 
thing. Every day | was needed to cleanse 
some crime scene here or there. He used the 
drugs to keep me docile. You've seen the 
footage of the school. | don't want to talk about 
that again. Not today. 


DR J PASCAL: That's okay. Look, | know this 
is a lot to take in; it looks like you need a 
break. I'll have someone escort you to the 
restroom; we'll recommence in ten minutes. 


[REDACTED] 


DR J PASCAL: Orange orange orange. We're 
back online, Raul. Did you just clean crime 
scenes? 


SCP-2961: Mostly, but not exclusively. 
DR J PASCAL: Can you give me an example? 


SCP-2961: There was a high profile murder 
trial in 2007 - | was smuggled into the 

courtroom in disguise. | was there to ruin the 
evidence - specifically a machete covered in 


the victim's blood and the murderer's 
fingerprints, and the gun used to shoot her in 
the face. Exhibits 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d and 12e 
were the bullets from that gun. | sat in that 
courtroom for five hours. 


DR J PASCAL: Carry on. 


SCP-2961: By the time the evidence was 
shown the machete was clean, no blood 
visible, no identifiable fingerprints. The gun 
barrel no longer had uniquely identifiable 
striations, and neither did the bullets. Sanchez 
- the accused - walked free... Listen, I'm sorry 
but | feel a little tired. 


DR J PASCAL: We'll go through this in more 
detail in another session if you're agreeable to 
that. Get some rest. We'll speak again 
tomorrow.

Closing Statement: Interview suspended, to 
be recommenced next day. 


+ Induction Interview 0_1 053 


Interviewed: SCP-2961, referred to by name 
to aid cooperation 


Interviewer: Induction Officer Dr J Pascal 


Foreword: Continuation of previous induction 
interview 


<Begin Log> 
DR J PASCAL: Did you get any sleep? 


SCP-2961: | don’t know if I’d call it sleep. 
Something in the water, right? 


DR J PASCAL: How were you treated by the 
cartel? 


SCP-2961: I’d campaigned against these 
people for years, and suddenly | was their 
slave, cleaning up their kidnappings, their 
rapes, their murders. How do you think they 
treated me? You've seen the footage. The 
feather duster, the pink pinafore apron. The 
ritual humiliation. 


DR J PASCAL: Regardless of how they 
treated you, you were invaluable to the cartel. 


SCP-2961: | was, yes. But Rodriguez had 
become distrustful. 


DR J PASCAL: Why? 


SCP-2961: He came to me one day whilst | 
was chained up. Pulled up a chair and looked 
at me for the longest time. Said | could make 
problems go away. Then he sighed. He said, if 
| could make them go away, | could make 
them come back too. And that, he said, 
concerned him deeply - | was a witness to a lot 
of things he didn't want to be witnessed... And 
he sat there and just looked at me. Maybe five 
minutes or more. I’m thinking that this is it; my 
final day on Earth. | have outgrown my use. 
But then, the strangest thing... 


DR J PASCAL: What happened? 


SCP-2961: He told me that he - and the other 
cartel heads - all had personal video 
collections... Films of informers, rivals, 
innocents being tortured and murdered. He 
had hundreds of hour's worth. | knew he had a 
purpose-built dungeon. I'd cleansed it enough 
times. 


DR J PASCAL: Carry on. 


SCP-2961: He said he wanted something 
better than films; the other cartel bosses had 
those. He was Miguel Rodriguez and he 
deserved something better, something no one 
else had. So he sits there looking at me and 
says he wants me to bring the Disappeared 
back. He wants me to make all the DNA, all 
the blood and the shit and the horror that | had 
made vanish, and bring it all kicking and 
screaming back into this plane of existence. 
He wanted to see his victims again, wanted to 
replay their last horrific moments. Not on tape, 
though. 


DR J PASCAL: How, then? 


SCP-2961: /n the flesh. 


DR J PASCAL: And you agreed? 


SCP-2961: | had no choice - you have to 
understand: his comment about me being a 
witness to the crimes was a warning, but in 
those words | saw a way to honour those I'd 
helped silence. | resolved to be a witness in 
every sense of the word. Catalogue the crimes 
committed against the victims. Those were my 
intentions, at least. 


DR J PASCAL: Can you clarify that? 


SCP-2961: | wanted to do the right thing, but 
my intentions - they were soiled by the drugs 
and the greed and everything else. 


DR J PASCAL: Everything else? Such as? 


SCP-2961: His villa - it was unlike any other 
place on earth. Limitless depravity, cruelty, 


greed, ambition, money, drugs - it all fused 
together. Became something else - | don't 
know what. Reality didn't behave like reality 
there. It couldn't cope. It became corrupted 
just like everything else. 


DR J PASCAL: You believe the villa itself was 
anomalous? 


SCP-2961: Maybe, yes. | don't know. There 
was a room adjoining the torture chamber... 
Christ... 


DR J PASCAL: Do you feel sick again, Raul? 
You look - 


«Silence for eight seconds» 


SCP-2961: Being clean comes at a price, 
doesn't it? 


DR J PASCAL: What do you mean? 
«Silence for twenty-one seconds» 
DR J PASCAL: Raul, what do you mean? 


SCP-2961: | can see it all clearly now. Like a 
veil's been lifted... What have | done? 


DR J PASCAL: Raul, you need to tell me - 


SCP-2961: | need to go back. You mentioned 
yesterday a whole world of things that can't 
exist. You want to see more? That room... And 
Christ, the abominations inside it. | have to go 
back now. 


DR J PASCAL: You want to destroy them? 
Don't shake your head. 


SCP-2961: | want to save them. 


DR J PASCAL: Raul, what exactly are these 
“abominations”? 


SCP-2961: The Disappeared. 


DR J PASCAL: The cartel's? Don't shake your 
head. 


SCP-2961: The world's. 
«silence for eleven seconds» 


DR J PASCAL: Okay, understood; standard 
CA/C prep. I'll advise him now... Raul, the 
following is non-negotiable. You will remain 
on-site for the duration of any action 
howsoever, wheresoever and whensoever it is 
pursued and resolved. Your presence, in so far 
as it is required, will be limited to locating and 
identifying additional anomalous phenomena 
and your observations, communications and 
engagement will be conducted entirely via 
remote means. For the purposes of said 
action, you have zero authority and your role is 
advisory in nature only. Notwithstanding that, 
prior to, during and after said action, your 
involvement may be augmented, diminished, 
terminated or increased without notice. 
Notwithstanding that, your involvement is 
entirely voluntary and you waive all rights, 
howsoever they exist and however granted, for 
the duration of said action. You accept full 
responsibility for any injury, harm or negative 
association to yourself resulting from said 
action howsoever, wheresoever and 
whensoever it is sustained. You accept that 
the Ganymede Group, insofar as it is or is not 
a bona fide legal entity, cannot be held 
responsible for any trauma of a physical, 
mental, spiritual, chronological, dimensional, 


identity or personality-related nature or for any 
other causation, howsoever, wheresoever or 
whensoever it occurs. 


«silence for seven seconds» 
SCP-2961: | accept. When does this happen? 


DR J PASCAL: We know the location of the 
villa. You can guide a team to this thing within 
it? Don't nod. 


SCP-2961: Yes. 


DR J PASCAL: Okay. It's happening now. We 
need to move you to somewhere more 
appropriate. Interview terminated.

Closing Statement: SCP-2961 moved to 
Secure Unit 284 and debriefed on the physical 
layout of Miguel Rodriguez’ villa, its defences 
and estimated threat count prior to an 
imminent containment/retrieval action. 


On [REDACTED], MTF Zeta-17 ("Los Ciervos") were involved in a 
CA/C4 action at the villa of Los Oculto head Miguel Rodriguez. Five 
members of the MTF team were injured in action, with zero fatalities. 
Eighty nine hostile parties were neutralised in the action, seventeen 
permanently. 


As a result of the action, one anomalous object with at least 250+ 
unique recorded sub-designations and one anomalous location were 
contained; these are currently awaiting classification and permanent 
containment, documentation pending. 


SCP-2961 is currently cooperating with this ongoing process. 
Information that could positively identify any unique sub- 
designations as D-Class resource, or Subset 2961-CFM individuals® 
is to be held separately and is not to be made available to 
SCP-2961. 


We took an inflatable raft to the shore (Marty and Simmons stayed 
behind) and headed north. The ground here, or at least around the 
pool, is almost totally devoid of plant life. The only green we saw 
was a sort of fuzzy moss growing on the ground that looked more 
like a kind of mold. The ground is grayish tan dirt that's like a mixture 
of sand and flour. Macarthur said it was some mineral or another but 
| forgot what he called it. 


| half expected all of our electronics to not work out here, but that 
wasn't the first thing to fail. After about two hours of hiking across 
flat boring ground, the compass suddenly changed direction. Now it 
points to what we had previously thought to be east. Evidently this 
planet's magnetics (is it even a planet?) don't work the same way 
Ours do. 


Not wanting to risk getting lost, we immediately made a 180 and 
headed back to the ship. | could've sworn that the trip back was less 
than half as long as the trip out. Tomorrow we'll work out a way of 
navigation that doesn't rely on the compass being sane. 


ET354a mission log, day 7 

Lousy night's sleep. The sun never went down. By my calculations, 
the day/night cycle here seems to last about 43 and a half hours, as 
opposed to 24 hours back home. That's going to take some getting 
used to. 


We agreed on a system of navigation. Firstly, we're going to travel 
only in a straight line, to make sure that we can get back to the ship 
by simply turning around and heading in the other direction. Unless 
we encounter some kind of unnavigable jungle, we should be fine. 


Secondly, Marty's rigged a radio... beacon... thing. | don't really 
remember his explanation, but if we're anywhere within 800 miles, 
his little gizmo will be able to tell us exactly which direction to go to 
get back, and how far. 


ET354a mission log, day 9 

We set out a few hours before the sun was scheduled to rise. But 
when we got to the shore, we found that the green moss stuff was 
EVERYWHERE. It had grown in mass significantly. My guess is the 
stuff shrivels up in the sun during the day, and expands at night to

SCP-2962: Supacansa 


Item #: SCP-2962 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: The point of origin and all 
surrounding buildings within a 200 meter radius have been 
purchased under a compulsory acquisition order. These are now 
being monitored for anomalous activity by MTF Delta-29 
("Apostates"). 


Instances assigned for testing (and all suspected instances) of 
SCP-2962 are to be kept in isolation. Containment units, research 
equipment, thermal treatment equipment and assigned personnel 
must be monitored for signs of anomaly as per Protocol 837- 
Boomerang. 


All non-test organic/inorganic instances must be disposed of using 
high temperature waste treatment protocol Spittelau-003, with 
particulate scrubbing meeting at least Burgen-Loche 4G standards. 
Particulate material must be stored in off-site Deepclean-8 enabled 
facilities. Local dedicated mirror sites are to be constructed if any 
new instances are found outside the UK. 


Description: SCP-2962 is a super-aggressive form of carcinoma, 
characterized by a metastasial process which allows transference to 
external systems, both organic and inorganic. Instances (designated 
SCP-2962-A) are inherently carcinogenic and are able to transfer 
SCP-2962 to viable hosts (process is currently unknown). Physical 
proximity is required, although actual physical contact is not. 


Evidence suggests that the onset speed and severity of SCP-2962 
in new instances is proportionate to the number and stage of 
SCP-2962-A instances nearby. Death or cessation of the host 
system does not affect the viability of the SCP-2962 instance, which 
will continue to replicate regardless (see Test Log SCP-2962-746- 


AE). 


Due to the aggressive nature of SCP-2962' traditional treatments of 
organic instances (such as radiotherapy) are ineffective. Whilst 
palliative care is possible under certain circumstances, this should 
only be considered where immediate thermal treatment is 
undesirable or impossible. 


+ Test Log: SCP-2962-746-AE 
Subject: SCP-2962-D-8746 


Scenario: Subject sedated via intravenous 
drip, and placed on bed in containment unit. 
Anomalous material (designated SCP-2962- 
A1) placed on subject's torso. Times are in 
format hh:mm 


Expected Result: N/A 
Actual Result: 
+00:01 Test commences. 


+01:13 Subject's torso (in direct contact with 
SCP-2962-A1) shows signs of discoloration 
and lesions. 


+02:27 Subject's torso shows signs of 
abnormal cell growth. Remote MRI scanning 
returns results consistent with early stage 
melanoma. 


+03:33 SCP-2962 melanoma shows signs of 
supermetastasis and invasion of subject's 
torso. Remote MRI scanning indicates a mass 
of new cell growth in subject's abdomen 
around location of SCP-2962-A1 and twelve 
probable new metastatic sites in chest, arms, 
legs, lungs and pancreas. New cell mass 
(NCM) represents 5.7% of subject's total mass 
(STM). 


+04:56 Subject has difficulty breathing. New 
metastatic sites in all parts of body. NCM 
represents 12.8% of STM.
