SCP-2821-2 when it 
was briefly in orbit. 
Camera footage taken 
shows the area 
outside of SCP-2821 
as heavily distorted, 
suggesting that 
outside light is bent 
when entering the 
anomaly. So far this 
has been the only 
physics set to allow for 
objects originating 
from outside of 
SCP-2821 to survive 
within the anomaly. 
Initially, the set 12 Hours 
resembled 2821-02, 
but after an hour all 
movement of the 
SCP-2821-1 instances 
ceased. During this, 
sensors in the 
chamber detected a 
temperature of 
0.00000001 Kelvin 
before malfunctioning 
and breaking. Objects 
brought into the 
chamber would lose 
momentum as it got 
closer to SCP-2821, 
gradually slowing until 
reaching a complete 
stop.° It is unknown 
how cold SCP-2821 
got during this, though 
it is likely the 
temperature reached 
temperatures 


incredibly close to 0 
Kelvin. SCP-2821-2 
experienced no 
changes in movement 
or behavior. Following 
the end of this seta 
radio transmission 
was detected saying, 
"The place outside of 
worlds.”6 

2821-911 Various SCP-2821-1| 1 Month 
instances were seen 
drifting through 
SCP-2821, resembling 
a variety of green, 
blue, and purple 
complex 
hypotrochoids and 
epicycloids’. 
Inspection with long 
zoom cameras shows 
that these instances 
are also composed of 
smaller hypotrochoids 
and epicycloids, 
possibly going down 
to the atomic level. It 
is believed that these 
structures are the 
result of atoms being 
able to form chemical 
bonds that naturally 
form these shapes. At 
times smaller 
instances would go 
through gaps in larger 
ones and vanish. One 
instance exited 
SCP-2821 and 
immediately broke 


SCP-332's active state will immediately cease. 


SCP-332 was contained following Incident 332-A, the incident during 
which SCP-332 was initially activated. Between the point from when 
it activated to being disabled by Foundation agents, Incident 332-A 
resulted in the deaths of 40% of Kirk Lonwood High School's staff 
and students. The school was closed down under the pretense of 
fire damage, with students, locals, and survivors being issued Class- 
B amnestics. Successful containment for SCP-332 was achieved on 
7/19/1976, with a classification of Euclid. 


Addendum 332-B: Transcript of Incident 332-A. 


During initial cleanup operations following SCP-332's containment, a 
16mm camera was discovered outside what would have been the 
first story window of Kirk Lonwood High School. The transcript of 
this video, although highly corrupted, is the only record of incident 
332-A. 


<Begin Log> 


<0:00-0:10> The camera is pointed out a large 
window, believed to be in the school's front 
office. Several members of SCP-332 can be 
seen preparing their instruments on the field. 
There is no sound. 


<0:10-1:34> The camera swings towards 
unidentified woman #1. It is believed that the 
cameraman is speaking to her, although no 
sound can be heard. One of SCP-332's 
clarinet players can be seen walking by in the 
background. 


<1:34-4:55> Section of the tape is damaged. 
No identifiable content present. 


<4:55-5:00> Picture and sound briefly become 
clear, and a voice believed to belong to 
unidentified woman #1 remarks about one 
band members outfit having an unusual 


2821-914 


apart into radioactive 
isotopes of carbon, 
hydrogen, and 
nitrogen. A radio 
transmission of 
Hurrian Hymn No. 6, 
the oldest known 
melody, being sung by 
female voice was 
detected three times 
in this set. 

For one month various6 Months 
SCP-2821-1 instances 
resembling nebulae 
manifested inside 
SCP-2821, with bright 
spots similar in 
appearance to stars in 
and around them. 
After this month the 
color of SCP-2821-1 
instances and 
SCP-2821-2 began to 
become red in hue 
over the course of 2 
months, with 
movement decreasing 
as well. At the end of 
these two months no 
movement was 
observed, and 
everything in 
SCP-2821 was 
colored with various 
shades of red. It 
theorized that this was 
redshift8 caused by 
the speed of light 
decreasing in the 
anomaly. Three 


2821-15 


months later 
SCP-2821 entered 
another physics set, 
with normal coloration 
returning after an 
hour. This is believed 
to be the speed of 
light returning to its 
normal value. A radio 
transmission was 
detected coming from 
SCP-2821 at the end 
of this set by 
Foundation radio 
telescopes, which 
showed the cosmic 
microwave 
background with a 
Sierpinski triangle? 
overlayed on it. 

In this set SCP-2821-224 Hours 
was replaced with a 
black spherical object 
and SCP-2821 
reached a brightness 
of ~100,000 lumens 
per square meter. 
SCP-2821-1 instances 
were rapidly expelled 
from the spherical 
object, damaging 
equipment in the 
chamber and the 
chamber walls. The 
instances were twisted 
chunks of rock and 
metal, along with 
unknown objects 
made of various 
elements on the 


Foundation's 
expanded periodic 
table19. One chunk of 
metal had what 
resembled the insignia 
of the Foundation 
Orbital Division on it, 
along with unknown 
text below it. 
Minkowski Spacetime 
Monitors around the 
anomaly detected 
-190 trillion G's during 
this set. It is unknown 
what happened in this 
set, with theories 
including the reversal 
of gravity and the 
formation of a white 
hoiett, 

2821-017 For approximately four4 Hours 
hours SCP-2821, 
along with any 
SCP-2821-1 instances 
present, and 
SCP-2821-2 
disappeared. 
Experiments 
performed in the 
space previously 
occupied by 
SCP-2821 showed no 
anomalous properties, 
suggesting that the 
anomaly had been 
neutralized at the 
time. After the four 
hours SCP-2821 
reappeared operating 
under the physics of 


2821-20 


2821-11. Itis 
theorized that the 
event was the result of 
SCP-2821's physics 
randomly becoming 
standard physics, 
though it is unknown 
how this could occur 
with its possible state 
as a true vacuum. 
This has led to debate 
over the accuracy of 
this theory. Despite 
this event a radio 
transmission was 
detected coming from 
where SCP-2821 
formerly was after 3 
hours, saying "The 
mind numbs in that 
white expanse.” 

One of SCP-2821-2's 5 minutes 
tendrils began to 
extend to lengths 
beyond those which 
have been previously 
observed, forming a 
spiral pattern centered 
around SCP-2821-2. 
After expanding to the 
edge of SCP-2821, 
Foundation Anti- 
Cognitohazard bots 
blocked footage of the 
rest of the event. This 
event is the only 
observed behavior of 
its kind from 
SCP-2821-2.A 
request to experiment 


with the footage to 
determine any 

cognitohazardous 
effects is pending. 


Addendum-2: On 15/9/2016 a radio transmission originating from 
SCP-2821 was detected. The transmission was four minutes long, 
with audio composed of static, multiple languages, and 
miscellaneous noises. Known languages used are Spanish, 
Icelandic, Yiddish, Scottish Gaelic, Ortothan, and Esperanto. Below 
is a mostly translated transcript of the transmission. Words that have 
no exact translation to English are in brackets along with any sounds 
or unknown words. Capitalized sentences show any loud portions of 
the transmission.

Footnotes 

1.A diagram representing general metastability. In this scenario, 1 
represents the Higgs field in a false vacuum, 2 represents the field 
on the verge of transition, and 3 represents the Higgs field ina 
newly formed true vacuum. At this point the field would have the 
lowest potential energy.According to quantum field theory, a vacuum 
refers to space with as little energy as possible in it. As quantum 
fields still exist, by removing as much energy as possible creates a 
false vacuum, which does not have the global possible minimum of 
energy. The global minimum of energy would be a true vacuum, 
though there would be a barrier to reaching such a state. This 
makes a false vacuum metastable, as it could get past the barrier 
and "fall" to the lowest energy levels if certain energy requirements 
were met. It is theorized that our universe exists as a long-lived false 


vacuum on the border of stability, based on the mass of the top 
quark and Higgs boson, an extension of the Higgs field which gives 
particles interacting with its mass. If an event such as quantum 
tunneling occurs with the Higgs field, where a particle could "tunnel" 
past a barrier, the result of the Higgs field reaching the lowest 
energy level would create a true vacuum. The true vacuum would be 
a bubble expanding in all directions at the speed of light, destroying 
anything that comes in contact with it. The inside of the true vacuum 
would operate under entirely different laws of chemistry and physics 
than the universe.In short, a true vacuum is a region of space at the 
lowest possible energy level, expanding at the speed of light. Said 
region would operate under different laws of chemistry and physics, 
leading to the destruction of anything entering it. 

2. The longest lasting and most important ones are detailed in 
Addendum-1. 

3. An event where the universe's existing physical laws are altered 
to new anomalous laws. 

4. Refer to the documents "Proposal for the Proper Containment of 
SCP-2821" and "Project Heisenberg-Stiriacus Overview" for further 
information. 

5. This decrease in momentum was likely the result of particle 
movement decreasing as the temperature got colder, which stops 
entirely at O Kelvin or absolute zero. 

6. Translated from Nepali. 

7. Mathematical roulette curves, typically drawn with a spirograph. 
8. Redshift is an effect in physics where light coming from an object 
increases in wavelength towards the red end of the spectrum, which 
occurs when an object is moving farther away from the viewer. This 
is caused by light coming from the object taking longer to reach the 
viewer as it moves away. The opposite of this with an object heading 
towards the viewer is known as blueshift. 

9. A fractal made of equilateral triangles. 

10. A majority of the elements were Emblanium and Yakirum. 

11. A hypothetical region of space time that cannot be entered from 
the outside, but matter and light can leave it. Essentially the reverse 
of a black hole. 

12. Believed to be an organization or unofficial name for one, based 
on texts from Gol#03088 ("The Church of the Second Hytoth").

SCP-2822: Rock Husbandry 


Item #: SCP-2822 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: A perimeter is to be established 
in the valley surrounding the Foundation-acquired residence at the 
foot of Madone di Camedo, which functions as a rendezvous point 
for Foundation personnel and SCP-2822. 


Four security officers and five research staff members are to be 
stationed at the Madone di Camedo home. The perimeter is to be 
patrolled by security personnel three times each day, with rotating 
shifts. Should a non-authorized individual attempt to enter the 
perimeter, they are to be turned away with the explanation that the 
land is privately owned and undergoing environmental restoration. 


Level-2 security clearance is required for direct interaction with 
SCP-2822. If an instance of SCP-2822-B is isolated from the 
population of SCP-2822-A, personnel are to guide an SCP-2822-A 
individual to accompany them in retrieval of the 2822-B instance. 


Grass and other vegetation within the perimeter is to be routinely 
trimmed to ensure SCP-2822 visibility. SCP-2822-B are to be 
washed monthly, and a count of individuals is to be performed daily 
to identify any new additions to the population. 


Description: SCP-2822 is the collective designation for two 
populations of rock-based anomalous entities, SCP-2822-A and 
SCP-2822-B. 


SCP-2822-A are humanoid entities comprised of tightly-packed 
crushed stone calcite gravel, standing approximately 30 cm in 
height. The chemical makeup of SCP-2822-A is consistent with that 
of sedimentary rock samples taken from the initial discovery site. 
SCP-2822-A individuals lack digits and facial features, and do not 


appear to be capable of verbal communication. SCP-2822-A are 
able to move autonomously using bipedal locomotion, but tend to 
remain stationary for long periods of time. SCP-2822 instances do 
not appear to need any form of sustenance. 


SCP-2822-B are mineral solids of various shapes and sizes (relative 
to SCP-2822-A dimensions) which universally demonstrate 
independent locomotion, usually through rolling.! When in the 
presence of other SCP-2822-B instances, SCP-2822-B engage in 
social behaviors (e.g., herding, grazing on mosses and lichens) 
common to domesticated animal livestock. Currently, 36 specimens 
of SCP-2822-B have been identified and tagged. Of note, thirteen 
SCP-2822-B were created under Foundation surveillance. 


Field observations have indicated that instances of SCP-2822-B are 
most commonly generated when an SCP-2822-A individual makes 
physical contact with a mineral solid for an extended period of time, 
usually by holding a stone in its hands. SCP-2822-A exhibit 
discerning behaviors when selecting new material for SCP-2822-B 
instances, and tend to favor roughly-spherical stones 10-20 cm in 
diameter, and ranging in weight from 2 to 4 kg. Additionally, any 
mineral solids contaminated with artificial materials, including 
plastics, will be ignored by SCP-2822-A. 


Currently, the Foundation has recorded the following notable 
attributes of SCP-2822-B individuals: 


¢ Preference for following and remaining within 10 meters of 

SCP-2822-A. 

Ability to distinguish between individual SCP-2822-A entities 

and potentially imprinting of specific SCP-2822-A entities as 

caretakers. 

Defensive behaviors, including rolling at increased speeds to 

disrupt nesting birds. 

* Growing a coat of progressive layers of moss and lichen. 

Chemical analysis of moss samples taken from SCP-2822-B 

indicates no anomalous substances present. 

Maturation, as evidenced by incremental size increases. 

* Development of a small hollow cavity, similar to those of 
geodes, once the individual has exceeded 50 cm in diameter. 


Addendum 2822-1: SCP-2822 initially came to Foundation attention 
following reports of unusual landslides in the Madone di Camedo 
mountain in Switzerland. 


Amina Favre, an elderly citizen of Cevio inhabiting a small residence 
at the foot of the mountain, was noted to have traveled on foot 
regularly to Madone di Camedo. Foundation inspection revealed that 
she did so in order to interact with SCP-2822. When questioned, 
Favre claimed she had been visiting the mountain for 13 years, and 
had become familiar with SCP-2822 to the point of giving both 
SCP-2822-A and SCP-2822-B instances names and bathing 
SCP-2822-B instances regularly.
