While SCP-1813 vocalizes, living subjects within its radius can be 
observed with one to eight transparent, incorporeal duplicates of 
themselves. The copies move through space as the subject had, 
and will have, until finally merging into the original subject's present 
location with no harmful effect. Extended exposure, however, 
appears to cause variances in the effect with copies of the subject 
moving in ways that the subject hadn't, or would not. Further 
prolonged exposure testing is not recommended as this tends to 
cause original subjects to exhibit unpredictable properties requiring 
original classifications. 


The effect does not present itself when subjects are exposed to 
recordings of SCP-1813. Visual disturbances are not detrimental to 
living subjects or inanimate materials. 


SCP-1813 does not seem to create physical duplicates of itself 
when it vocalizes. It is not known whether or not the duplicates 
simply do not exist, or if they overlap SCP-1813 in such a way that 
they would be invisible. 


Addendum: Testing Transcript 005 During this test the subject 
was asked to vocalize a certain phrase repeatedly while exposed to 
SCP-1813, to ascertain whether or not an asynchronous 
vocalization similar to those of SCP-1813 would manifest itself if the 
subject also were to vocalize within its range of influence. D-4293 
was provided with earplugs, placed on the grating over the tank of 
SCP-1813, and ordered to pace slowly back and forth during the 
procedure. 


The following transcript is only a rough approximation of the actual 
audio due to distortions caused by SCP-1813. 


D-4293: Say it now? 
Dr. Sanders: Yes. Begin. 


Jets in SCP-1813s tank begin churning the water, 
startling SCP-1813 and causing it to emit frightened 
vocalizations. 1 


D-4293: Uh... In Flanders fields the poppies blow. 


Four duplicates of D-4293 appear following and leading 
his path. D-4293-3 develops a slightly different facial 
structure and eye color than the rest toward the end of 
the test. 


D-4293-1: Uh... Flanders fields the poppies blow. 
D-4293-2: Flanders fields the poppies blow. 
D-4293: What the hell is that! 


The testing subject appears to be startled by the 
apparitions and attempts to exit the containment area, 
banging on the door repeatedly. 


D-4293-3: What Flanders hell the poppies that blow. 
D-4293-4: Flanders hell let the poppies did that blow. 


D-4923 enters a fetal position near the cell wall and 
begins screaming. 


D-4293: Alright | did it let me out! Let me the fuck out! 


D-4293-1: Alright Flanders blow to Hell. 
D-4293-2: | did it to Hell fuck | did the blow. 


The copies continue vocalizing, barely visible due to the 
testing subject's lack of movement. Save for weeping the 
subject does not make any other vocalizations. This 
goes on for five minutes until new results are observed. 


D-4293-2: Alright. What the hell is Flanders? 
D-4293-4: What the hell is that? 
D-4293-1: The hell is the fields. 


D-4293-3: Uh. Is that it? 


The copies appear to be conversing with one another 
with dialogue previously spoken by D-4293. This goes on 
for three minutes. 


After four minutes the copies appear to move out of sync 
with D-4293, moving over slightly from his position on the 
ground near the wall of the cell. 


D-4293-1 through 4 appear to be in physical pain, with 
their hands grasping their heads. Unique vocalizations 
from the copies can be heard during this time. 


D-4293-3: My head! Oh my god the noise! 
D-4293-4: The noise! My head! 


The vocalizations from the copies appear to echo from 
one another until sound levels in the cell reach a peak of 
150 decibels. D-4293 shields his ears with the provided 
earplugs. Jets in SCP-1813's tank powered off, 
SCP-1813 is now in acalm and silent state. 


Blood can be seen discharged from the ear canals of the 
copies before their falling over, and becoming 
motionless. It is apparent at this point that three of the 
copies do not have earplugs. The copies disappear 
instantaneously. 


D-4293 rises and faces the cell door. Sound is produced 
from D-4293's location prior to his vocalizing. Speech 
originating from the testing subject is denoted with a C. 


D-4293: No! Let me go! 
D-4293-C: What the hell? 
D-4293: Happy birthday, honey! 


Dr. Sanders: That concludes the testing. Please exit the 
cell. 


D-4293: What do you mean | broke protocol? 


D-4293-C: Wait what? 

D-4293: I'm innocent! 

D-4293: | want a robot! 

D-4293: Does that mean you're releasing me? 


D-4293 begins vomiting. He is manually removed from 
the cell. D-4293 exhibits this unique auditory effect until, 
before, and five hours after termination. 


Researcher's Note: 005 Auditory Test: The SCP-1813 effect 
causes something like a physical echo, although the reasons for the 
divergent behaviors of the copies is not completely understood. It is 
also apparent at this point that in addition to copies saying things 
that they did not yet say, also say things that they would not and will 
not say. 


Testing with white rats in a complex maze in SCP-1813's chamber 
reveal a minimal amount of copies (1-2). Paths chosen by the copies 
in the maze are at most times completely different from the original 
subject's intended and traveled path. Copies also vary in color, 
sometimes being black or brown, and in one instance, purple.

SCP-1814: Fossilized Flame 


Item #: SCP-1814 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1814 must be kept ina 
vacuum-sealed airtight box at all times, except during testing 
procedures. This box must be deoxygenated. The only entrance to 
the room is a double-seal airlock. The box's walls must be 
continually monitored for cracks, chips, or fractures by way of 
security camera. If any of these are noticed, the room must be 
immediately evacuated of gas, utilizing a large one-way air turbine in 
the ceiling above the box, and the box must be repaired by D-class 
subjects wearing pressurized fireproof suits and respirators. 
Subjects with respiratory disorders or conditions are not to be 
allowed into SCP-1814's chamber without a note from a doctor with 
Class-4 clearance or higher. Subjects exposed to SCP-1814-2 in an 
oxygenated environment must be immediately and forcefully 
deoxygenated, even if it results in the subject's death. As a 
precaution, all subjects entering SCP-1814's chamber must undergo 
psych evaluation to detect pyromaniac tendencies. Such subjects 
are to be terminated. 


Description: SCP-1814 comprises two pieces, usually in contact 
with each other. These are denoted SCP-1814-1 and SCP-1814-2. 


SCP-1814-1 is a pedestal made of petrified spruce wood, triangular 
in shape and around 7cm tall by 18.5cm to a side. It has six legs, 
one on each corner and one in the middle of each side. It is carved 
in an ornate style similar to the art of the |= Dynasty in China. 
Despite this, radiometric dating has found it to be at least years 
older than such a style would suggest. SCP-1814-1 appears to be 
unaffected by the nature of SCP-1814-2. It is slightly warm to the 
touch at all times. 


SCP-1814-2, when in the absence of oxygen, is a complex and 


random arrangement of pumice stones that resembles a burning 
flame. When in the presence of oxygen, SCP-1814-2 begins to 
move and shift, cracking loudly, shattering and reforming, until it 
achieves a state of intense molecular motion exactly like that of an 
actual fire. SCP-1814-2 in this state is hot to the touch but its heat is 
not detectable through visual or infrared light. At this point, 
SCP-1814-2 will spread in the same manner as that of a regular fire. 
As it burns, SCP-1814-2 emits sounds similar to an avalanche or 
grindstone. The sound becomes deeper as larger amounts of 
SCP-1814-2 are produced. Objects, including life forms, exposed to 
SCP-1814-2 will quickly catch “on rock,” becoming covered with and 
consumed by it. Subjects will suffer severe burns equivalent to those 
from exposure to a flame with a temperature of °C. Additionally, 
SCP-1814-2's excess dust may induce asthma attacks in subjects 
with respiratory conditions, and otherwise causing instances of 
SCP-1814-2 to burn inside the subjects’ lungs and eventually [DATA 
EXPUNGED] Throughout this process, SCP-1814-2 retains the 
same mass as an equal volume of pumice, gradually getting 
heavier. 


SCP-1814-2 also acts according to the properties of regular pumice 
stone. At the speed it shifts, SCP-1814-2 scratches subjects’ skin 
raw, then through their muscle tissue, and finally their bone. 
However, nearly no blood is lost as the intense heat cauterizes the 
wounds. Subjects eventually die from a combination of extreme 
pain, blunt force trauma, asphyxiation, and exfoliation. 


When all oxygen is removed or used up, all instances of 
SCP-1814-2 not attached to SCP-1814-1 will die down into “embers” 
and then turn to pumice dust. Said pumice dust is not hazardous 
and will not become SCP-1814-2 again. The instance that is 
attached to SCP-1814-1 will revert to its original state and shape. At 
this point, SCP-1814-1 and SCP-1814-2 become impossible to 
separate without damaging either. Subsequent oxygenation and 
deoxygenation will reform damage to SCP-1814-2, but SCP-1814-1 
cannot be repaired this way. 


SCP-1814 cannot be stored underwater; due to SCP-1814-2 being 
made of pumice, it would float to the top and catch the containment 
box on rock. It cannot be stored in a non-reactive noble gas either; 


early attempts at this yielded a suspicious neon-like glow from 
SCP-1814-1. 


Addendum: SCP-1814 was recovered on / /20 when an 
archaeological expedition to an unknown portion of Cave in 

A K_, Russia yielded fossilized humanoid remains. The skeletons 
of approximately 3 individuals of a previously unknown hominid 
subspecies were [DATA EXPUNGED}, but with only minuscule 
amounts of pumice dust in the wounds. This struck the 
archaeologists as odd, as pumice does not occur in that region. 
Their paper on the discovery was intercepted by SCP informational 
agents before it was published in a scientific journal. The 
archaeologists were detained and screened, then given class-A 
amnestics. The cave was closed off under the pretense of "lethal 
radiation." Agents stated that SCP-1814 itself had used up all the 
oxygen in the cave thousands of years ago, causing it to put itself 
out. When the cave was opened, it started to burn again and quickly 
began to spread. SCP-1814-2 was deoxygenated using a standard 
issue fire extinguisher, and it was brought back to Site 19 ina 
makeshift vacuum tank.

SCP-1815: A Mercurial Doppelganger 


Item #: SCP-1815 
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1815 is presently 
designated as Neutralized. This file will remain in the event that 
anomalous activity has been detected to resume. For information 
regarding the neutralization of SCP-1815, please see SCP-3965 and 
Document-3965-Baoying. 


Previous Containment Procedures 


Assets in all major astronomical agencies and establishments are to 
control information uncovered about SCP-1815's existence and 
prevent its leakage into the general public. The current position and 
transmissions of SCP-1815 are to be monitored by radio-telescopic 
satellites "Ceres", "Liber", and "Libera", the information from which is 
to be compiled by personnel at Site-59. Any change in the nature of 
these transmissions, or in the activity of SCP-1815 is to be reported 
to a Level 3 or higher researcher immediately. 


Information regarding the MESSENGER probe supposedly in orbit 
around Mercury has been fabricated; all pictures and information 
supposedly gathered by said device were actually obtained by the 
Foundation "Quicksilver" series of probes. "Quicksilver" missions are 
to be planned in response to every observed Janus Event (see 
Document-SCP-1815-MQ for details). 


If SCP-1815 or Mercury display anomalous activity noticeable to 
terrestrial-based observation and standard misinformation protocols 
are insufficient, the Foundation is to implement a global internet 
service blackout and notify all government assets of the situation. 
Misinformation agents are to be dispatched to all major astronomical 
organizations to suppress knowledge of the incident. The current 
prepared cover story for such an occurrence is a coronal mass 


ejection and subsequent geomagnetic storm. 


Description: SCP-1815 is an interstellar object of unknown 
appearance, dimensions and properties. All attempts at direct 
observation have thus far failed; the object and its position are only 
detectable by radio waves it emits. These waves generally feature 
the same transmission: an unidentified pneumatic sound which 
occurs at a constant rate of 52bpm. The transmissions feature no 
background noise or RFI regardless of the object's proximity to the 
sun. SCP-1815 does not appear to exert a gravitational pull, and has 
been hypothesized to not be entirely material. SCP-1815 has not 
exhibited signs of sentience, but the possibility has not been ruled 
out (See Addendum 1815-001). 


SCP-1815 moves in an orbital path, eccentricity and velocity 
identical to the planet Mercury, but reversed. Due to this, the object 
regularly collides with its respective planet; such an event does not 
appear to have any effect on either affected body, further suggesting 
that SCP-1815 is partially or wholly insubstantial. 


SCP-1815 will infrequently cease all movement across its orbital 
axis; motion in regards to systematic and galactic movement are 
unaffected and continue. While this occurs, Mercury will feature 
numerous anomalies; its appearance under highly-magnified 
telescopic observation will become irregular and indistinct. The 
standard transmission will be interrupted by a sustained, scraping 
noise for the duration of the event, which is usually 80-120 minutes. 
These occurrences have been termed Janus Events. 


A total of five Janus Events have been recorded since the object's 
discovery. Due to the technical difficulties in obtaining samples from 
Mercury, it is currently impossible to completely measure the effects 
of each Event on the planet's stability. However, after the first Event 
in 1986, a series of missions were planned, wherein a Foundation- 
based probe would monitor the planet and SCP-1815.
