SCP-645 embodies, and has been hypothesized by Foundation 
folklorists to be the origin of, the lie-detection properties attributed to 
the Bocca carving since medieval times: any subject who tells a lie 
(see incident report 645-N41) while their hand is within the carving's 
mouth will activate the carving, which will then bite off the subject's 
hand at the wrist and swallow it. High-speed cameras have revealed 
that this process, which lasts less than 0.3 seconds, involves the 
manifestation of lips, gingiva, and disproportionately large incisor 
teeth; the lips cauterize the injury via an unknown mechanism, after 
which the lips, gingiva, and teeth de-manifest. The force exercised 
by the teeth has not been accurately measured, but is sufficient to 
sever a steel rod held in the hand being bitten off. 


Probes of SCP-645's mouth in its inert state have revealed no 
esophagus; as such, the ultimate fate of the severed hands is 
unknown. RFID tags implanted in the hands of D-class personnel 


fails.

0954: Firefight between two Foundation security agents 
and three unidentified intruders in Corridor 16-Q. 


0955: Two intruders incapacitated by Foundation fire, 
One agent incapacitated by intruder fire. Subject 027-02 
appears behind agents’ position. Agent sees Subject, 
appears to give orders to keep cover. 


0957: Remaining intruder incapacitated by agent's 
gunfire. Cloud of insects visible behind agents' position. 


0958: Agent cautiously approaches incapacitated 
intruders, Subject following close behind. As agent prods 
the intruders, Subject 027-02 stabs agent in the neck 
with a screwdriver. Agent staggers, Subject stabs agent 
twice more in the neck. Agent incapacitated. 


0959: Subject searches bodies of agents, takes 
weapons and ammunition, dons body armor. Insects 
seen swarming bodies of agents and intruders.

toward Stairwell M5. 


1104 to 1138: Reestablishment of Control 


At approximately 1104, 2 hours and 53 minutes after the 
beginning of hostilities, Assistant Adams reached 
Command and Control and re-established site-wide 
communications. Unfortunately, access to the on-site 
nuclear device was impossible, due to the destruction of 
the control leads between C&C and the device (see 
attached addendum re: proposed modifications to 
current on-site nuclear destruct systems.) 


Re-establishment of communications would have a 
profound impact on the course of the crisis. Personnel 
who had, up until this point, been acting independently 
with varying degrees of success, could now be 
coordinated into an effective combat force. With the aid 
of Assistant Adams, the insurgent attack would be driven 
back, albeit not soon enough to prevent the escape of 
several key SCP artifacts. 


Post-recovery debriefing of Doctor Gears 
(excerpt: sections 4-6) 


How were you able to cross the D-9 Level after the mass 
failure? 


| was fortunate to be in the company of several Agents 
and other staff members. Due to the damage to my leg, 
arms and internal organs, my mobility was severely 
restricted. We proceeded to the emergency access 
tunnels in the most direct route possible. Due to SCP- 
item alteration and damage, however, it was impossible 
to take any pre-plotted routes. Several Agents and staff 
were attacked, harmed and killed during the progression, 
however we were able to attain the access point with the 
casualty level well below the acceptable standard. 


Were you able to observe any SCP escapes or cross- 
contaimination ? 


| presume yes, however my ability to properly process 
and catalog this information was limited due to physical 
trauma. SCP-106 was observed in the security station 
and at other locations, and | would assume that its trans- 
dimensional nature would lead it to escape as a matter of 
course. One of the more obvious contaminations was 
that observed between SCP-682 and SCP-229. It 
appears that SCP-229 attempted to attack SCP-682. 
SCP-682 appears to have, rather then attack, integrated 
with SCP-229. SCP-682 appears to now be deeply 
integrated with the site information and electrical 
network. The ramifications of this have yet to be 
observed. More contamination is likely, but it will take 
more direct and controlled observation to be sure. 


Did you observe any hostile attackers over the course of 
the escape? 


None alive. Several corpses were observed, belonging to 
neither Site Staff or Agents, so it is assumed that the 
aggressors accessed the D-9 level by some means. One 
subject did cause a slight complication, however it is 
unclear as to whether this subject is a aggressor, SCP 
item, or some other designation. The subject was large, 
wearing a suit, gloves, and a rough cloth over its face. 
We were attempting to exit the main contamination area, 
when the subject was observed near a access panel. It 
turned to face our group after several Agents requested 
it to identify itself. As it faced us, it then reached out and 
removed a major fuse from the service panel, causing a 
majority of the hall to go dark. We were forced to 
backtrack a great distance to find a replacement for the 
damage. When we came back to the same area, the 
subject was gone, along with several of the corpses in 
the area. 


Debriefing: Dr. Johannes Sorts 


Excerpt from Interview conducted by O5- , regarding Dr. 
Sorts's involvement in Incident 234-900-Tempest Night-1 


O5- : You lost control over some of the SCP-945 replicas 
you were attempting to weaponize at various points, 
correct? 


Dr. Sorts: | was trying to contain them, sir. | tried steer 
them towards destroying each other whenever | could, 
but it was tough using them productively. Any hostile 
agent they killed was soon replicated due to exposure. 
It's comforting Knowing that the day | finally die there's 
going to be a clay statue showing up in my office to finish 
my reports, by the way. 


O5- : We're getting off track. Where were you at 1104 
when Adams regained control of communications? 


Dr. Sorts: By that time | was in possession of SCP-945 
itself, since it's just an old wooden box. That put me in 
position to almost completely account for replicas that 
were manifesting in the site. 


SCP-945 propagates itself by having the oldest replica 
create smaller clay figurines representing deceased 
individuals. These figurines are placed in the box, anda 
new replica appears somewhere nearby. Controlling the 
small figurines gave me a kill switch over every replica 
created due to the outbreak. | had the oldest replica 
accompanying me, | had the box. SCP-945 was 
contained. 


O5- : Containment procedures for 945 specifically forbid 
breaking new figurines during a containment breach. 


Dr. Sorts: [inaudible] 


O5- : You were also observed to remove Dr. S Ss 
identification and coat from his body. Can you explain 
that? 


Dr. Sorts: I'm just a level 2 memetics researcher. We get 
some authority in a meme-related outbreak but the 
"Action Movie" meme wasn't good enough for exercising 
long term control over Foundation replicas | encountered 
on the way down the power room. So | impersonated Dr. 
S — the replicas didn't know enough to tell the 
difference and he was level 4, so ... 


O5-:Dr.S was one of the individuals responsible for 
detonating the fail-safe device in the event of a breach 
like this. Were you aware of that? 


Dr. Sorts: No, sir. Well, I'd assume any level 4 had that 
authority. 


O5- : Were you aware that Dr. S was also an 
individual exposed to SCP-945 previously? 


Dr. Sorts: Well, now that you mention it, yes | do recall 
seeing him on the list of exposed individuals. 


O5-:Dr.S was one of the first researchers we lost 
during the attack. He died in the explosion in the break 
room. Therefore it is likely that Dr.S —_'s replica was 
one of the first to manifest. And if he was not the first, his 
replica would have been proceeding to the generators to 
detonate the fail-safe device personally given the loss of 
command. In accordance with his living duty, correct? 


Dr. Sorts: Are you still interviewing me or— 


O5- : Did you encounter Dr. S in the generator wing, 
or any other replica that would have been tasked with 
activating the fail-safe device, and did you or did you not 
interfere with their work? 


Dr. Sorts: [inaudible] 


O5- : Doctor Sorts, did you or did you not interfere with 
the activation of the fail-safe device? 


Dr. Sorts: [loudly] Of course not! If | had the chance to 


nuke my ass out of this fucking job I'd do itina 
heartbeat!

copy? 


Replica "Garcez" (believed to be duplicate of Engineer 
Raphel Garcez, KIA due to enemy action at 0825): This

A. Adams: Controls for the fail safe are not responding. 
Can you activate the device locally? 


"Garcez": What is your authorization? 
A. Adams: [CODE REDACTED], Vice Alto Clef 


"Garcez": [to another replica] Can you check that with 
the manual?

your team rushing to follow my orders. 


"Garcez": One moment, we are verifying your authority. 
We are very busy down here maintaining power. 


A. Adams: What power? Did you not hear the 
explosions? Your generator is not even online right now! 


"Garcez": Your authorization has been accepted. We will 
activate the fail safe. Goodbye.

Excerpt from Interview Vang-2 


Agent : So, in the end, your efforts were mostly 
unsuccessful. 


Dr. Vang: Yes, that is correct. Between our guys getting 
killed anyways and the general inaccessibility of most 
parts of the facility, | think only seven or eight people 
actually ended up surviving with their earplugs. 


Agent : | see. After you lost the remaining ear plugs, 
what did you do? 


Dr. Vang: At that point, | decided that my best bet was to 
try and bust up the PA System and hope they didn't bring 
their own ghetto blasters or anything. Plus, after that one 
time with Dave, | knew a shortcut that wasn't near any of 
the combat zones. 


Agent : Alright. Continue. 


Dr. Vang: So | manage to get down to the PA system 
without incident, except for this fucking... thing. It was 
like a dude's head got chopped off and just started 
moving around again, like an octopus or some shit. 
Needless to say, | punted that down a flight of stairs and 
kept going. 


Agent : What happened when you got to the control 
room? 


Dr. Vang: The hallway was actually completely empty, 
and it was really quiet too, so it was actually scarier than 
a lot of the stuff I'd seen elsewhere. | suppose because 


mostly low-level personnel work there, plus there aren't 
any SCPs stored in that wing. Anyways, the door was 
open, but there was this pile of body armor just sitting in 
the doorway, along with a machine gun and a bunch of 
what looked like old pottery smashed up into bits. | 
ignored it, although in retrospect it would have been a 
good idea to at least put on the body armor. 


Agent : Go on. 


Dr. Vang: Yeah, | walk in and turn towards the PA 
System, but instead there was this big bloody glob of 
flesh in its place, and some sweaty dude was working on 
it with a knife. After | had some dry heaves, | looked 
again and decided it was probably eight-ninety. 


Agent : At the time, what did you know about 
SCP-890? 


Dr. Vang: Nothing much, really. That he could operate 
on machines like they were people, and talked to them 
and whatnot. 


Agent : So what happened next? 
Camera Feed 17-4e, PA System Control Room, / / 


1100 SCP-890 continues to operate on the mass of 
flesh. The unidentified individual remains stationary, 
facing the door. Gunfire is faintly audible. Feed is stable. 


1105 Unidentified individual appears to collapse: a large 
amount of what appears to be dried clay falls from 
various openings in the armor, and all clothing and gear 
fall to the ground. No remains of the unidentified 
individual are visible. SCP-890 does not respond to this 
event. 


1114 Dr. Vang enters the room, stepping over the pile of 
clay. He looks towards SCP-890 and covers his mouth. 
He then bends over and starts shuddering. This 


continues for roughly a minute. 
1115 Dr. Vang: "Hey! 890!" 
SCP-890: "Shut up, I'm with a patient." 


1116 Dr. Vang shoves SCP-890 forward with his hand. 
SCP-890 turns to face Dr. Vang. 


SCP-890: "Sir, | am operating on a patient. Unless 
someone is dying out there, | suggest for the safety of 
this patient that you cease this unnecessary disruption." 


Dr. Vang: "| can't let you do that, 890. If the enemy gets 
their hands on any kind of functional public address 
system, they could completely neutralize the 
Foundation's fighting force, understand? Now, | need you 
to stop trying to fix this thing and stand aside so | can 
destroy it, okay? 


1117 Dr. Vang raises what appears to be a portion of a 
glass bottle. 


SCP-890: "I'm afraid that | don't share your sentiments. 


SCP-890 slices Dr. Vang's upper left arm with the scalpel 
held in his right hand. Dr. Vang stumbles backwards two 
steps, grunting. The wound is not visible from the 
camera angle. 


1118 Dr. Vang, under his breath: Son of a- 


Dr. Vang lunges towards SCP-890 with his broken bottle. 
The two then attempt to injure each other, Dr. Vang with 
the broken bottle and SCP-890 with the scalpel used in 
surgery.
