They also asked me to leave the bunker with 
them. | refused, replying that | would rather 
find my way back into my own world than exit 
into theirs. They let me leave them, despite 
their protests. 


February 26, 1961 

Is it February 26th? | have been counting the 
days, but | have not seen the light of day in 
perhaps a week. 

My food supply is almost gone. | do not know 
where | am, where the exit is, or where | met 
the people in strange clothes who showed me 
my own corpse. 


Maybe | will die in this maze of perfect, 
identical rooms that | have worked so hard to 
create. 


No date given 

| have not had anything to eat in... | don't 
know how long. Two days? Three? | am 
almost out of water as well. This bunker will be 
my grave. 


No date given 
Perhaps the Prism was broken for a reason. 
Perhaps we were not meant to fix it. 


Neither the corpse of "not-Josef" nor the entrance from which his 
team supposedly came from have been found. Several Gols have 
been questioned about both the Prism and the project mentioned, 
but all denied any knowledge of both. Abramov was found to be a 
member of Gol- _, which was dissolved in 1972. According to 
partial records, he was killed in action along with the rest of his team 
while exploring an unspecified spatial anomaly. Further efforts are 
being made to find complete records of this expedition. 


SCP-3328: Where Dead Men Grow 


SCANNED SOLID-COPY FILE 
ORIGINAL: 1916 | SCANNED: 1985 


CONVERTED TO DIGITAL FORMAT. AVAILABLE ON FOUNDATION 
DATABASE. 


THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTATION IS 
ARCHIVED. 
ORIGINAL MATERIAL: 12/01/1916

FURTHER ALTERATION CLOSED. 


A naturally-occurring population of SCP-3328 during 
growth on the Passchendaele battlefront, January, 1916. 
ITEM #: SCP-3328 


OBJECT VARIETY: Euclidean Neutralised 


SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: Action must 
be taken to prevent SCP-3328 from propagating. All 
structures such as posts and fences surrounding 
populations of SCP-3328 are to be removed. 


[EDITED 02/11/1918] SCP-3328 was officially 
neutralised during the artillery bombardment following the 
third offensive of the Ypres during October, 1917. Exact 
time of destruction is unknown (presumably 
unintentional), but no further instances have been found 
to date. 


DESCRIPTION: SCP-3328 is an animate construction of 
barbed-wire, first reported in Passchendaele, January, 
1916. Instances of SCP-3328 are known to exhibit 
features similar to floral life, such as the ability to 
reproduce and self-propagate, and are observed to 
reside in battlefields notorious for high casualties, 
presumably due to the lack of competing vegetation and 
abundance of edible material. 


SCP-3328 will naturally convolute and enmesh over all 
supporting structures such as posts and fences already 
existing within the militarised zone [No-Man's-Land]. 
SCP-3328 is observed to propagate rapidly, establishing 
frequent ‘entanglements’ and rendering large areas of 
land impassable within days. Populations of SCP-3328 
are especially established in areas where barbed-wire 
has already been installed. Existing barbed-wire may 
provide structure for SCP-3328 to hang to, or provide 
concealment. This suggests that SCP-3328 may use its 
appearance as camouflage and a deterrence to prevent it 
from being walked over or disturbed. 


SCP-3328 is animate and capable of gradual movement. 
This is recognised to occur through slow contractions of 
the wire, presumably due to magnetic properties, 
allowing SCP-3328 to tighten and shift in position over 
time, however it is incapable of long-range movement or 
travel. Despite this, SCP-3328 will entangle and envelop 
individuals who pass through it. This method is similar in 
procedure to devices such as snare traps, and will 
constrict individuals to the point at which they expire from 
exposure or bloodloss. SCP-3328 is observed to target 
individuals who are already wounded or unable to resist, 
and at times refrains from engaging larger groups to 
prevent discovery.

Loss of British Mark V Tank 


Senior Report::: / /1916. Cpt. Johnson. 
32nd. 


COMMANDING EYES ONLY 


Reporting to confirm the loss of a British Mark 
V Tank near Ypres, exact location unverified 
and pending. 


Vehicle found without crew, abandoned 200 
yards behind advanced trenchline. Deemed 
unrecoverable due to the amount of barbed- 
wire enmeshed around it. Cause of breakdown 
appears to be due to compression of the tracks 
following severe entanglement in the wire. 
Most extreme case so far recorded. 


Chassis degraded extensively. Recognised as 
abrasion from the wire. Most of the metal has 
degraded. Parts of engine could be recovered, 
but current internal state is unknown. Wire wall 
appears to have been drawn over the vehicle, 
hindering access to the hatch. Recovery would 
require extraneous effort regardless. 


Suspected A.W.O.L crew. So far not found. 
Keep aware. Further investigation advised.

SUBJECT: Equipment & Animal Losses 


1. In compliance with Memorandum, 
Headquarter 36th Division, 

January , 1916, to C. O. 122nd Infantry, the 
following account is submitted: 


Cpt. Venkat suggested report into the loss of 
supplies in the region. Results conclude that 


the disruption is not due to shelling, and 
disproves any notion of such degree. Supply 
carts have been recovered from within the wire 
line still attached to their horses. Many of the 
animals are decomposed and have been 
abandoned, and the drivers are nowhere to be 
seen. 


The loss of so many animals due to the fences 
suggests that they are no longer an asset to 
us. They are too close to the tracks. | assume 
the animals had fallen from the embankment 
and entangled themselves in it. Regardless, 
you surely understand the risk of running wire 
next to horses. | propose we move the wire 
backwards several yards to avoid further 
disruption in the supplies.

1. In compliance with Returning Order, the 
following account is submitted: 


Sent half a fireteam to cut it back and re-stake. 
Are these your men? They didn't report back to 
me - | assume they reported to you. 
Regardless, the wire has moved back several 
yards. Tell one of the corporals they left their 
rifles down here. We're low on supplies as 
you've said. 


Apologies for the notification, Officer.

To: Field Marshall, Doughlas Haug 


From: Cpt. White (BEF) 


| understand you are an entrance to the so- 
called Containment Foundation, so may you 
pass this to whoever it needs to be given to. 


The wire has been causing us trouble for some 
time. We tried to keep it quiet but people kept 
going missing. Now we all know, and people 
who are scared cannot be controlled. I've seen 
the wire move myself on too many an occasion 
and every time denied it, but | watched it kill 
the cavalry brigade as they went to search for 
help, and | know for certain it is real. 


We found some of the bodies miles out in No- 
Man's-Land. We think it drags them out there 
for some reason. It took us a while to realise 
that supplies weren't reaching us. We pushed 
too far into enemy territory, and we occupy 
their trench right now. The wire is behind us as 
we speak. We are stuck here. Those who tried 
to find help are dead. We cannot retreat. 


When some of us realised supplies weren't 
arriving we tried to clear it. Nothing worked. 
Wire cutters can't get a grip on it. It just keeps 
getting closer to the trenchline. Every day, it's 
another foot nearer. We have no hope of 
clearing it now. Someone suggested we 
contact you. 


We cannot retreat. Do you understand? Please 
act immediately. | don't know how long it will 
take until it enters the trench with us, and we 
will be forced to invade the next one.

SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES 


FOUNDATION 
Secure, Correct, Protect 


Addressing Cpt. White: 


Sir, the Foundation is not authorised to issue 
removal or destruction of an object. 


We may be able to offer containment services, 
however, although our assets are currently 
intervening in more pertaining matters than the 
one you described. 


We will dispatch when possible, which may be 
in the coming weeks.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLY TO THIS 
MESSAGE 


NOTE: 122nd/144th infantry companies were 
decommissioned following extensive casualties after an 
unplanned and unauthorised attack on the next German 
trenchline. 


It is expected that SCP-3328 was the cause, and has 
since been prioritised. 


SCP-430: A Peasant's Punishment 


Item #: SCP-430 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-430 is to be kept ina 
humanoid containment cell on Site-17, placed on a wooden pallet or 
equivalent loose support at least 20cm above ground to prevent 
rusting. The cell containing SCP-430 is to be fitted with an 
adjustable table, a sand basin, a controllable two-position hook- 
conveyor system, and a master-slave control system as specified in 
Document 430-Gamma - construction details. 


One cell adjacent to SCP-430 is to house a live D-Class subject, 
designated SCP-430-C, whose suitability was ensured by enacting 
Protocol Prometheus-11 prior to their internment. SCP-430-C is to 
be treated in accordance with Foundation Humanoid Containment 
Guidelines section NP-1. Suitable SCP-430-C candidates are 
nonviolent, introverted, and capable of carrying out simple tasks 
without supervision, with claustrophobia being a disqualifying factor. 
Other cells adjacent to SCP-430 containment are to be designated 
long-term low-value item storage (see Site-17 floor plan section 
|J-23). The set of cells adjacent to SCP-430 is designated 
SCP-430-3. 


While SCP-430 contains a living subject, designated SCP-430-2, 
such SCP-430-2 is to be treated in accordance with Foundation 
Humanoid Containment Guidelines, section NP-5, except as 
following. 


¢ Routine medical examinations of SCP-430-2 are to take place 
weekly, rather than monthly. 

* SCP-430-2 is to be fitted with a heart rate monitor. 

¢ Due to restricted movement, SCP-430-2 is to be fed an 
individualized diet as per recommendations of a qualified 
member of Site-17 medical staff. 


SCP-3329: A Sucker Born Every Minute 


Item# : SCP-3329 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-3329 are 
to be placed in individual vacuum sealed bags and collectively 
placed within a security storage container within the storage wing of 
Site-64. Testing may only be conducted with the authorization of a 
level 4 Researcher. 


Should any instances of SCP-3329 or portions thereof remain at the 
conclusion of said testing, they are either to be returned to storage 
or disposed of via standard hazmat protocols at the discretion of 
researchers overseeing testing. 


Due to the results of experiment 3329-03, D-class are not to be used 
as test subjects for SCP-3329. Subjects must be selected from 
Foundation personnel who have been psychologically screened for 
loyalty and obedience, and staff overseeing experimentation are not 
to have any direct visual or audio contact with subjects experiencing 
a Barnum Event. Communication from affected test subjects is to be 
carried out via speech to text computer programs, as this has 
proven to be sufficiently indirect to nullify the secondary effect of 
SCP-3329. 


Test subjects are to be kept in isolation for a 24-hour period 
following the apparent cessation of a Barnum Event to prevent 
accidental exposure to SCP-3329's secondary effect. 


Description: SCP-3329 refers to a collection of 120 (originally 144, 
recovered as 12 bunches of 12 instances each) lollipop candies. 
Each instance consists of a sphere of hard candy approximately 
3.75 cm in diameter with an embedded 10 cm long white paper 
stick. At the time of recovery, each instance was wrapped in bright 
red paper with a calligraphic 'H F' written in gold on the top, and the 


words ‘Lil' Lollipop's Little Lollipops' around the circumference. Each 
instance of SCP-3329 begins as one of 12 flavours (see Document 
3329-01) with a 0.5 mm crescent of iridescent edible glitter reaching 
180 degrees around the candy from pole to pole. 


When wrapped, or unwrapped but not held by a human subject, 
SCP-3329 exhibits no anomalous properties. When a human subject 
grabs hold of an instance of SCP-3329 by its stick, the candy will 
become luminescent and the glitter line will begin to move clockwise 
at a rate of one rotation per minute. As the glitter moves, the portion 
of candy it passes over is converted into one of the other 11 

flavours, seemingly at random. When the glitter line returns to its 
point of origin and the confectionery has been 100 percent 
converted to a new flavour, the cycle begins anew. 


When licked or sucked, subjects report a combination of the two 
flavours present. Instances of SCP-3329 will only decrease in size 
concentrically during this process, and to date no test subject has 
been able to orally deform an instance into anything other than a 
spherical shape. Damaging an instance by other means such as 
percussive force will result in the loss of anomalous properties. 


Once an instance of SCP-3329 has been reduced to approximately 
5 millimeters in diameter, all 12 flavours will appear as separate 
swirls rotating at 1 RPM. This 'rainbow core’ can be bitten off, 
however this will trigger SCP-3329's secondary effects in what has 
been termed a Barnum Event. 


Experiment Log 3329-03, first recorded occurrence of a Barnum 
Event: 


Researcher overseeing experiment: Dr. Jedidiah 
Oswald 


Test Subject: D-97605, female, 23 years old 
<Begin Log> 
D-97605: Is this for real? 


Dr. Oswald: | know this may seem silly, but an 


anomaly's an anomaly. Just pick up a sucker and 
consume it, describing any effects you experience. We'll 
be monitoring your vital signs and we have a medic on 
stand by in the event of an adverse reaction. 


D-97605: I'm not complaining doc. I'll take this over 
[REDACTED] any day. 


(Subject unwraps an instance of SCP-3329. It 
immediately begins to glow red, with the glitter line 
gradually turning it amber.) 


D-97605: This thing's not radioactive is it? 


Dr. Oswald: The banana flavoured ones are actually 
about as radioactive as ordinary bananas. I've taken that 
to mean these are made using natural flavours. 


D-97605: Only the best for the nameless human guinea 
pigs. Here goes nothing. 


(Subject tentatively licks SCP-3329.) 


D-97605: Mmm. The red tastes like cherry and the 
amber taste like cinnamon. I'm not noticing anything 
unusual aside from the obvious. 


Dr. Oswald: Noted. Your readings haven't changed 
either. Please continue consuming the item.
