Addendum 1841-1 - RFSCP Archives, 7/31/1886 


News has reached London this day thatF L_ , the 
man responsible for the spread of SCP-1841, has died in 
Germany as the result of a pneumoniac infection. As Mr. 
L's performances are believed to be the sole origin 
and focus of SCP-1841, and as none of his 
performances are known to have been recorded on the 
phonograph, SCP-1841 is now deemed Neutralised. We 
expect a brief upswell of riotous and hysterical behaviour 
over the coming weeks during the traditional mourning 
period, after which infections in those previously afflicted 
should slowly dissipate. Containment of infectees will 
continue for five years or until such time as no further 
cases of"L_ omania" are observed. -T.T.B. 


Addendum 1841-2 - Memo to the 05 Council, 
4/8/1956 


As the O5 Council is surely aware, the sudden and 
unexpected upswell of public excitement and hysteria 


regarding rock-and-roll musician Elvis Presley has 
provoked a great deal of speculation within the 
Foundation that "Elvis" himself, or someone associated 
with him, poses a cognitohazard or other type of 
anomalous mind-affecting ability. It is my unfortunate 
duty to report at this time that this appears to be the 
case. Based on Research Assistant Wertham’s findings, 
the behavior exhibited by Presley's fans appears to be 
identical to that exhibited by those afflicted by a 
neutralized phenomenon designated SCP-1841, a 
condition which affected fans of composer Franz Liszt in 
the 19th century. All evidence indicates that the 
anomalous ability possessed by Liszt to induce irrational 
behavior in his audiences is now possessed by Presley. | 
recommend that active containment of SCP-1841 be 
reinstated at its previous containment level, and that 
Research Assistant Wertham be assigned to research 
this recurrence of the phenomenon and draft updated 
containment procedures as circumstances require. -Dr. 
Jacobs 


Request granted. -O5-2 


Addendum 1841-3 - Memo to the 05 Council, 
6/23/1958 


Our continuing research into SCP-1841 indicates that the 
problem is far more widespread than previously thought. 
Rather than emanating from a single individual, | have 
currently identified no less than two dozen popular 
performers who are capable of inducing SCP-1841 
behavior in their audiences. In addition, several of these 
performers are members of the Negro community, 
suggesting that SCP-1841 has the ability to transcend 
racial and social barriers. Five of the persons so far 
identified were not active musicians at the time our study 
began, suggesting that the number of people capable of 
inducing this effect is growing. If more drastic measures 
are not taken to stem this tide, our current models predict 
SCP-1841 infection will reach pandemic levels no later 


than 1963, and that widespread civil unrest and chaos 
will ensue. | recommend that SCP-1841 be upgraded to 
Keter class and that authorization be granted to take 
aggressive steps to mitigate the effects of its carriers. | 
additionally recommend that SCP-1841's containment 
file be expunged from the primary database and 
information regarding its current active status be placed 
on a strict need-to-know basis for persons directly 
involved in its containment. SCP-1841 is highly virulent, 
especially among the younger generation, and even the 
knowledge that these musicians exist and have these 
abilities could result in an outbreak of secondary 
infection among our ranks. -Dr. Wertham 


Request granted. -O5-11 


Addendum 1841-4 - Memo to the 05 Council, 
1/12/1961 


| am pleased at this time to report that our measures at 
containing SCP-1841 appear to have been largely 
successful. Subject Presley's service in the United States 
Army has greatly mitigated his ability to spread 
SCP-1841, and the neutralization of subjects Holley, 
Richardson, and Valenzuela has prompted several music 
critics in the media to proclaim that the genre is entirely 
moribund. Subject Penniman's conversion to our cause 
has proven fully effective to date, and our disinformation 
campaign regarding the potential threats of rock-and-roll 
music has begun to gain traction within the religious 
conservative community. Barring the sudden emergence 
of an unknown group of SCP-1841 carriers acting in 
unison, | believe we may be able to fully neutralize the 
phenomenon within three years. -Sr. Researcher 
Wertham 


Addendum 1841-5: Memo to the 05 Council, 
7/15/1969 


| am beginning to fear that SCP-1841 is growing beyond 
our ability to control. Following the sudden appearance 


create instances of SCP-563-B. SCP-563-B is the "Prehistoric Food" 
line of products made by a company known as the Ancient Dragon 
Culinary Corporation. Records of this company have been found, 
but as of writing, the location of their primary business office and 
other facilities used to make SCP-563-B are currently unknown. 
SCP-563-B products are sold in several East Asian countries, but 
have been discovered in some supermarket chains in the USA. 
Various instances of SCP-563-B include: 


Apata-sours: an instant ramen made with sweet-and-sour 
sauce and the meat of an unknown sauropod, presumably a 
smaller, easier to contain dinosaur similar to Abrosaurus 
dongpoi. Notably, chunks of gastroliths have been found in 
this product, suggesting it is partially made with stomach 
meat. 

Ancient Dragon Velociraptor Noodles: instant noodles 
made with an assortment of meat from several dinosaurs, as 
well as pork, rice, and chunks of melon in what is advertised 
to be a "Velociraptor broth". Testing of broth is inconclusive; 
product reportedly tastes like high-quality instant noodles, with 
a high salt content. The first product of the Ancient Dragon 
Culinary Corporation to be sold in the USA in the 
[REDACTED] specialty supermarket chain. 

“Dragon-Bone" Tea: Powdered tea advertised as being 
made using the bonemeal of various species of "dragon". 
DNA testing has shown that the particles are partially derived 
from non-fossilized dinosaur bone, but approximately 75% of 
the test results have been inconclusive. To date, this is the 
only product made by the Ancient Dragon Culinary 
Corporation that has been recalled for "safety reasons". 
Dino-Snaxxx: sold in Japan under varying flavors. Marketed 
using anthropomorphic dinosaur mascots, including "Takara 
Tiranosaurusu" and "Riza Raputoru".!. Product resembles 
American pork rinds; testing of the product has revealed that it 
is made of several species. 

Kentucky-Fried Therizinosaur: A deep-fried poultry product 
sold as a frozen dinner in some parts of South Korea. As the 
name suggests, the meat is mostly made up of 
Therizinosaurus cheloniformis. Reportedly tastes like a very 
tough chicken. 


of subjects Harrison, Lennon, McCartney, and Starkey in 
1964, the number of known SCP-1841 carriers has 
grown into the hundreds and is continuing to grow 
beyond our ability to track and monitor. Social unrest 
from SCP-1841 infectees has begun to damage the 
American war effort in Vietnam and affect the 
international political process. Within the past two years, 
various "festivals" featuring SCP-1841 carriers have 
accrued in excess of 100,000 attendees; an upcoming 
festival planned in upstate New York is currently 
projected to draw nearly half a million potential new 
infectees. The time has come for aggressive measures. | 
propose that the O5 Council authorize a series of covert 
assassinations of high-profile SCP-1841 carriers, 
including but not limited to subjects Eliot, Hendrix, Joplin, 
Lennon, Morrison, and Relf, to be conducted as possible 
over the next several years, as well as any future 
assassinations necessary to prevent the further spread 
of SCP-1841. -Site Director Wertham 


Request granted. O5-8 


Addendum 1841-6: Memo to the Ethics Committee, 
9/22/1996 


To: Site 19 Ethics Committee 
From: Col. James A. Ostheim, Director of MTF 
Activities, Site 19 


It has come to my attention that the murder of 
rap musician Tupac Shakur earlier this month, 
reported to have been the result of gang 
warfare, was in fact an assassination 
committed by members of Mobile Task Force 
Beta-6 ("Kasem's Revenge"), a unit under my 
oversight at Site 19. During a routine audit of 
MTF expenses, we discovered several 
unexplained travel expenses and unauthorized 
movements of Beta-6's officers and men. | 
scheduled a meeting with MTF Leader 
Callahan to discuss the issue and he openly 


admitted that his team had committed the 
murder, and volunteered that they had also 
been responsible for the apparent self-inflicted 
death of musician Kurt Cobain in 1994, for the 
murder of former Beatle John Lennon in 1980, 
and for the deaths of several other prominent 
musicians of recent decades. MTFL Callahan 
informed me that the assassinations had been 
conducted under direct orders from Overwatch 
Command, and provided me with written 
documents bearing O5-6's digital signature, 
ordering the assassinations as part of the 
containment of SCP-1841. Upon checking the 
main Foundation database, | found no 
information regarding the existence of 
SCP-1841, not even an indication that such a 
document had been classified. 


On a hunch, | contacted Central Archives and 
asked if there were any decommissioned or 
neutralized SCP objects bearing that number 
which had not been copied over when the 
main database was computerized in 1983. | 
was given a handwritten file dating to the old 
Royal Foundation, which described people 
having hysterical reactions to hearing the 
music of Franz Liszt, a German composer who 
died in 1886. The file had not been updated 
since then and was listed as Neutralized. 


| find it greatly disturbing that a member of the 
O5 Council itself is superseding the chain of 
command and issuing orders to persons under 
my authority, without my knowledge, to 
conduct assassinations of high-profile civilians 
in relation to an SCP object which has been 
inactive for over a century. | would appreciate 
a review of this matter as soon as possible. 


Addendum 1841-7: Ethics Committee Memo, 


5/21/1997 


From: Site 19 Ethics Committee 
To: O5-1 - 05-13, Col. James A. Ostheim 


Following a thorough review of the Foundation 
archives and examination of expert testimony, 
we have concluded that SCP-1841 bears no 
anomalous properties and does not merit the 
containment procedures currently in place. It is 
our determination that SCP-1841 is a normal 
human psychological reaction to exposure to 
charismatic individuals and/or emotionally 
moving works of art, similar to the mental 
conditions referred to as "Stendhal syndrome" 
and "Jerusalem syndrome", and that its 
"carriers" are in no way anomalous themselves 
and have no abnormal ability to affect human 
psychology beyond their own charisma and 
musical talent. 


Effective immediately, SCP-1841 is 
reclassified as Explained and is hereby 
stricken from the SCP database. No further 
monitoring or containment of persons affected 
by SCP-1841 is authorized, and no further 
action is to be taken against any person 
believed to be a carrier. Due to his long 
involvement in SCP-1841 containment, and in 
light of his otherwise spotless service record, 
O5-6 has been allowed to take early retirement 
with full benefits. No disciplinary action will be 
taken against any Foundation personnel 
involved in SCP-1841 containment. Any 
personnel involved may undergo Class-B 
amnestic therapy at their discretion. 


Please refer any concerns or appeals to the 
Central Committee. 


SCP-8900-EX: Sky Blue Sky 


NOTE: THE FOLLOWING IS ARCHIVAL INFORMATION FOR REFERENCE 
ONLY. 


THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO CONTAINMENT PROTOCOLS IN PLACE FOR 
SCP-8900-EX. 


Item #: SCP-8900-EX 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8900 has been 
designated Keter due to extreme difficulty in containment. Indeed, it 
does not appear containable at this time. 


Persons and objects affected by SCP-8900 are to be quarantined 
and destroyed via flash incineration immediately. Flames resulting 
from this process are to be extinguished by vacuum in complete 
darkness to suppress the spread of infection. Under no 
circumstances are Foundation personnel to come into contact with 
persons or objects affected by SCP-8900. 


Addendum 8900-1: It has been discovered that total darkness is 
effective in suppressing the spread of symptoms of SCP-8900 in 
living subjects. Agents Harker and Miriam have been detained and 
are being kept for study. 


Description: SCP-8900 is a complex perceptual phenomenon 
affecting the visible spectrum which seems to be spread by contact. 
It can be photographed using certain newly developed techniques, 
however, the process of photographing the anomaly seems to result 
in faster spread of its effect, and is considered inadvisable. 


SCP-8900 is currently uncontained and theoretically uncontainable. 
It first began to appear in the mid to late 1800s, as a side effect of 
certain photography techniques, but was restrained only to the 


photographic plates themselves and did not spread. Of note is that 
the appearance of SCP-8900 manifestations in these photographs 
seems to [REDACTED]elopment of photographic technology. 
SCP-8900 as we know it today seems to have developed in or 
around 1935, possibly as a result of the Corporation's 
experiments with "integral tripack" technology. 


Addendum 8900-2: 
[SECTION AVAILABLE BY O-5 ORDER ONLY] 


Gentlemen, we have failed. SCP-8900's effects have 
become so widespread as to be commonplace. The 
natural blue of the sky has been replaced with a gross 
and unnatural shade, and the green of trees has been 
equally corrupted. SCP-8900 has brought ruin down 
upon the entire visible spectrum, and we have been 
overrun. 


Our attempt at creating an opposing ‘infection’ has also 
failed. Although we were successful at restoring the 
natural colorization of our test subjects, the process 
seems to render them mute, and now a runner has 
arrived at my office to tell me that our little experiment 
has breached containment. Future agents may have to 
deal with it as an SCP object in its own right. 


We are left with only one option, gentlemen. | am 
activating the Foundation's final failsafe method, The 
Ennui Protocol. 


By the time this message reaches those of you cleared 
to receive it, Foundation resources on a global scale will 
have released vast amounts of compound ENUI-5, our 
most subtle amnesiac. Worldwide, men and women who 
do not deserve the horror wreaked upon them will pause, 
confused, then resume their business, confident that this 
is the way it has always been, never knowing what they 
have lost. Only the photographs not affected by 
SCP-8900's taint will remain to tell the truth. | regret this, 


gentlemen. | regret it deeply. 
It must be done. 
— 05-8.

SCP-2700-EX: What | Did For Love 


Notice from the Ethics Committee: 


This article has been found to be fraudulent; there is no 
anomalous activity present. All research into SCP-2700 
and its cure has been suspended indefinitely. The 
documentation will be locked, but remains accessible to 
serve as evidence for the related Ethics Committee 
investigation. Researcher Perry will be held in [DATA 
EXPUNGED] until sentencing is complete. 


Item #: SCP-2700 
Object Class: Keter
