Aftermath Unfortunately, Foundation operatives were 
not aware that the meetings of the club took place due to 
the isolation from SCP-1366, and simply assumed that a 
1366-Outburst event was not occurring. As a result, 5 of 
the 8 teenagers successfully committed suicide through 
various means, with the survivors being critically injured. 
Notes Guards were removed from the perimeter of 
SCP-1366, with motion-sensing cameras installed in 
their place. Corresponding instance of SCP-1366-A 
noted to have 12 centimeters removed from its length. 


Event Designation 1366-Outburst-2 

SCP-1366-A Message SNUFF FILMMAKER 
ARRESTED 

Summary of Story A prominent Hollywood filmmaker 


named Alan Smithee had been arrested for attempting to 
murder his lead actor on camera, "for the art". 

Outburst Description A pair of amateur filmmakers, 
Jacob Rebus and Mary-Beth Jones started filming acts 
of zoosadism and animal murder, eventually escalating 
to the pair infiltrating SCP-1366, placing Ms. Jones on 
the conveyor of the sawmill and attempting to activate 
the head saw to kill her. 

Aftermath Foundation operatives moved in and subdued 
the pair. Following detention, the pair claimed ignorance 
for their actions and were released following questioning. 
Notes N/A

SCP-1366-A Message MAD GASSER STRIKES 
AGAIN! 

Summary of Story Describes a "Mad Gasser" in an 
undisclosed city, attacking government offices by 
pumping anesthetic gas through the ventilation system. 
Outburst Description The mayor and sheriff's offices, 
as well as the Foundation field office in the area, were 
flooded with Nitrous Oxide following the doors and 
windows being sealed by an unknown person or 
persons, resulting in 6 deaths due to suffocation. 
Aftermath No perpetrator has been identified as of this 
time, and citizens have been advised to report odd 
smells and hissing noises. 

Notes First direct attack on a Foundation facility. 
Corresponding instance of SCP-1366-A had 17cm 
removed from its length 


Event Designation 1366-Outburst-40 

SCP-1366-A Message MAD COW INFECTS 
HAMBURGER PATTIES 

Summary of Story Describes how a national beef 
distributor had been selling meat infected with Bovine 
Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), which had resulted 
in the deaths of several people. 

Outburst Description Within a week of publication of 
this story, there was a mass outbreak of Creutzfeldt— 


Jakob disease (CJD). The outbreak apparently started 
from contaminated meat at a local fast food restaurant. 
Despite the fact that it typically takes several years for 
symptoms of CJD to develop, the symptoms were greatly 
accelerated, to the point where fatalities were reported in 
as little as twelve hours after consumption of tainted 
meat. 

Aftermath Over 30 deaths resulted due to complications 
from CJD. 

Notes Corresponding instance of SCP-1366-A had 6.7m 
removed from it. Due to concerns of the safety of the 
civilians, a mandatory evacuation order was issued. 
Site-403 is to be evacuated by 6/04/12. 


Addendum: Evacuation 1366-01: 
Level 4/1366 Access Required 


Evacuation of Site-403 began at 9:30 on 6/02/12. 
Evacuation order had been issued to the town a week 
previously, with a major storm being cited as the reason 
for evacuation. By 14:00, all but 12 residents had 
evacuated voluntarily, with the remainder forcibly 
removed. All residents were then loaded into their cars 
and instructed to drive to nearby Foundation facilities in 
the cities of _ , , and for debriefing and 
administration of amnestics. The three fleets of cars 
were put under Foundation escort to ensure no 
complications. 


Exactly 7 hours after the end of evacuation, all former 
residents of Siskin simultaneously collapsed and fell 
comatose. Over the course of an additional 4 hours, the 
body mass of all persons evacuated was slowly 
converted into sawdust. The same was true of all 
personal possessions and vehicles belonging to 
inhabitants of Siskin. Recovered samples of sawdust 
shows no anomalous properties. 


Following this incident, approximately 6,000 new 
residents were found to be living in Site-403, with no 


memory of any attempted evacuation, previous 
inhabitants, or Outburst events prior to Foundation 
intervention. Observation of new individuals living within 
Site-403 (tentatively designated SCP-1366-B) found 
several other anomalies, such as large amounts of 
sawdust in the drinking water and food supply (including 
food from local supermarkets and restaurants), a lack of 
any familial connections outside of Site-403, and the lack 
of any direct contact with the outside world (social media 
sites, outside mail service, etc). Later review found that 
the same was true of the original inhabitants of Site-403. 


Containment procedures and SCP description will be 
revised at a later date.

SCP-1367: Party Balloon 


Item #: SCP-1367 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: When not being utilized for 
experimentation, SCP-1367 is to be kept in Storage Containment 
Unit B-19 inside a cushioned container with 60cm x 60cm x 60cm 
dimensions. Before storage the container must be thoroughly 
cleaned of any hard or sharp debris. 


Before being removed from storage for experimentation, the latex 
elements of the object should be sprayed with a thin layer of a liquid 
plastic polymer solution to improve durability. Personnel should be 
cautious when handling the object due to its possible fragile nature. 


Description: SCP-1367 is a helium filled balloon of common make 
and red coloration, measuring 45.7 cm from apex to inflation valve, 
which is tied shut by a 73.6 cm white string. The object has no 
identifying marks that would indicate a manufacturer. 


Testing of the physical durability of SCP-1367 has been minimal due 
to the fragile nature of the commonly manufactured balloons which it 
resembles. However, it has been concluded that it does not lose 
helium through its permeable latex membrane. While it does exhibit 
the buoyancy expected from its helium content, the object's 
movements seem to be unaffected by air current and lift. SCP-1367, 
if left to float freely, will begin to maneuver towards the largest 
gathering of at least 6 individuals within 480 meters whose 
aggregate mood is at least mildly positive. This deliberate movement 
is difficult to detect since the object moves as if it were being pushed 
about by air current. However, tests conducted in an air-tight room 
have proved no air current is necessary for the object's locomotion. 


When SCP-1367 comes within 4.5 meters of a targeted gathering, 
auditory abnormalities are heard by all within listening range. The 


amount of distinct speakers seems to be doubled, as additional 
voices are heard amongst the group. These voices are invariably in 
high spirits, and seem to belong to individuals that match the age 
and vocal patterns exhibited by the majority of those present, though 
mimicking no group member exactly. The content of this audio 
phenomenon is difficult to decipher, as it only occurs when other 
normal audio is being generated and never exceeds its volume. The 
extraneous audio always appears to be emanating from several 
meters away and has been proven to be audible on recordings as 
well. 


In rare situations, other audio elements have been heard. These 
seem to become more common when SCP-1367 has bonded to a 
larger and louder group with an elevated mood. Documented 
examples of these instances are listed below. 


¢ The sounds of children laughing and playing outdoors. 

¢ A slurred toast, followed by the noise of glasses clinking. 

* People chanting “Chug” encouragingly. 

¢ Several renditions of the birthday song based on the melody 
composed by the Hill sisters. 

¢ Moans indicative of sexual activity. 

¢ An entertainer’s voice, using a manner of speech commonly 
attributed to clowns. 

¢ Chanting in an unknown language 

* Carnival pipe organ music. 


Anomalous audio resembling humanoid voices will not communicate 
with any real individuals. When the targeted group disperses, its 
speech and noise levels subside, or its mood changes to a non- 
positive state, the audio phenomena will cease and SCP-1367 will 
move to another group fulfilling its criteria if one is available. As the 
effect of realizing there is extraneous audio is somewhat disquieting, 
a targeted group noticing the effect will oftentimes inadvertently end 
the object's effects. 


In cases where SCP-1367’s effects go unnoticed or are disregarded, 
the targeted group will find themselves experiencing a slowly 
elevating positive mood and increasingly fewer inhibitions when it 
comes to social interaction. At approximately 2 hours of exposure, 
there seems to be no further effect. At no point does the targeted 


gathering seem to be under a compulsion to continue their activities, 
and behave with normal discretion in regards to commitments, 
exhaustion, and the like. Observed targeted groups have engaged in 
binge drinking games, food fights, dancing without music, physical 
children’s games, and orgies among other activities.

SCP-1368: Aegides 


Item #: SCP-1368 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: An exact census of the 
SCP-1368 population is impossible to determine, but interviews with 
a singularly cooperative contained instance have led to a rough 
estimate of instances still remaining uncontained. When an 
uncontained SCP-1368 instance is discovered, MTF-Phi-10 (AKA 
"Crawling In My Skin") is to be mobilized. All people found to be 
hosting instances of SCP-1368 are to be incapacitated by non-lethal 
means. The SCP-1368 instance is then to be made to leave its host 
by the application of open flame to the host's sternum. Once 
removed from its host, the SCP-1368 instance is to be temporarily 
contained in antibiotic-treated plastic and transported to the nearest 
Site equipped with 1368-Lerna containment methods. 


Secured instances of SCP-1368 are to be folded by means of 1368- 
Lerna-33 containment machine! to dimensions of 20 cm X 20 cm X 
0.5 cm and contained in vacuum-sealed, opaque, shrink-wrapped 
plastic. Each bag is to be equipped with an RFID transmitter and a 
serial number. Contained instances are to be stored in 1368- 
Lerna-0102 cabinets in a darkened containment chamber which is to 
be sterilized of all biological contaminants and designed in all 
aspects for defense against gale-force winds. The containment 
chamber is to be heated to 50° C with panels of induction heating 
coils located in the floor and walls. The containment chamber is to 
be monitored by microphone and made accessible only to the 
automated processes of designated 1368-Lerna-33 units. Under no 
circumstance is any human or humanoid life form to have physical 
contact with an instance of SCP-1368. 


Personnel attempting to access sites equipped with 1368-Lerna 
containment methods are to be checked for hosted instances of 
SCP-1368; if none are found, access is granted. In the event that 


Foundation personnel are transfigured by contact with an instance of 
SCP-1368, they are to be debriefed and then incinerated. 


Description: SCP-1368 is the collective designation for a parasitic 
sapient species of humanoid beings composed of a thin hollow layer 
of contiguous epidermal human skin. In their natural state, 
SCP-1368 are off-white or beige, highly flexible, very strong, and 
somewhat elastic, similar in consistency and color to the shed skin 
of a snake. They are capable of locomoting in the same manner as 
a human, as well as slithering on the ground, undulating through 
water, or fluttering on air currents. Each instance has a long vertical 
seam on its front which extends from the lower lip to the groin. Their 
structure lacks eyes, a mouth, and a groin area, having holes in 
those locations instead. They have no form of nervous 
cephalization, instead possessing a neural net evenly distributed 
across their surface. They are generally unable to feel pain and do 
not need to breathe. When without a host, they speak with voices 
consistently characterized as "airy" and "whistly." 


An instance of SCP-1368 parasitizes a human host by spreading 
open its seam, enveloping the host completely and laying over them 
like a second skin. They are capable of wriggling under the clothes 
of their host in order to gain total coverage. Once this is achieved, its 
seam seals shut and it becomes nearly perfectly transparent, only 
appearing slightly reflective on camera. SCP-1368 are capable of 
controlling the movements of their host to a fine degree, physically 
forcing their muscles from the outside. Cca. 84% of all instances 
recovered are skilled enough in this regard to control the 
cardiovascular systems and voices of their hosts, and cca. 5%° of all 
instances recovered can control the ocular motions of their hosts. 
SCP-1368 use human hosts as means to their own ends, though an 
overall picture of their goals, if any exist, has yet to resolve. 
SCP-1368 have no specific preference for types of humans to use 
as hosts in any regard. What is known is that they actively attempt to 
resist and breach containment (refer to Incident Report 1368-1). 


Although classified as parasitic due to the distinctly non-mutual 

nature of the relationship, instances of SCP-1368 do provide some 
minor benefits to their hosts. They provide protection from chemical 
irritants, as well as treatment of some acne, scabbing, and scarring 


that might otherwise afflict their hosts. Because of this, hosts may 
become sympathetic to the desires of SCP-1368 instances and 
agree to assist them. 


SCP-1368 obtain sustenance from dust, which is primarily 
composed of dead skin. If currently hosted, they may feed directly 
on the dead skin being shed by their host in real time. They are 
capable of incorporating all of the dust they consume into their body 
mass, allowing them to heal from damage in a short period of time. 
SCP-1368 are vulnerable to high temperatures and are particularly 
repulsed by fire. An instance can only be completely destroyed by 
incineration; any and all remaining pieces with access to dust 
regenerate into duplicates of the original instance, albeit with 
diminished recollection of prior events. Instances are able to hide 
and remain dormant for months without being detected, usually 
posing as discarded clothing or paper. To date, significant 
populations (more than instances each) of SCP-1368 have been 
detected in twelve cities in the American midwest; five cities in 
Greece; Calcutta and Mumbai, India; Florence and Milan, Italy; 
Istanbul, Turkey; and Tehran, Iran. Despite attempts to contain the 
populations in these locations, recurrences and complete restoration 
are not uncommon. 


SCP-1368 possess a secondary ability in the form of control over 
local air currents. When in distress or separated from a host, they 
have been observed to siphon air through their bodies and expel it 
from their mouths to produce wind of speeds up to 12 kph. In larger 
groups they may produce wind of speeds over 100 kph. 


SCP-1368 Interview Log 22 
Interviewed: SCP-1368-0325 
Interviewer: Dr. Binweir 


Foreword: SCP-1368-0325 was abnormally cooperative 
during recovery and agreed to speak with Foundation 
personnel. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Binweir: SCP-1368-0325, you said that you had 
(reading from paper) "a then story now to tell us?" 


SCP-1368-0325: Man, Foundation man. Now, there are 
thousands of us. Thousands and thousands. Then, there 
are a few. 


Dr. Binweir: Yes? 


(SCP-1368-0325 wipes a line of dust off of the table with 
its index finger. The dust is slowly absorbed.)
