Test subjects continued to complain of hearing the repetitive set of 
tones. Most subjects experienced heightened stress and irritability, 
as well as sleep deprivation. Infected individuals were adminstered 
sedatives to ameliorate secondary SCP-255 symptoms. Testing of 
this group of infected individuals revealed the incidence rate of 
SCP-255 was now 100%, ensuring that any humans exposed to the 
subjects would contract it. 


Eleven days after the test subjects were secured at Bio Site-16, 
infected individuals reported a cessation of the perceived repetitive 
tones. One test subject immediately reported hearing an "electronic" 
voice, similar to that generated by speech simulation software, 
repeating the Spanish word "estrella". Once the subject reported the 
phenomenon to researchers, it immediately ceased, whereupon 
another of the original eleven test subjects reported a similar

| remember being up in the sky | could see 
everything the birds the trees the buildings and 
they just kept getting smaller and smaller 

Som birds were even folowing me but | couldnt 
here them | guess they got to high up because 
their wings fell off and they started droping 

| got scared cuz | thought my arms were going 
to fall off and then | would fall too 

Then the sky turned pink and then | heard 
noises but | couldnt see what was making the 
noises and then the sky was black 

| got very cold when the sky turned black and | 
was scared but also exited because | thought 
maybe | would see the stars 

There werent any stars tho it was all black and 
when | looked back at the earth it was just a 
big pink ball 

Then it got small and it then it was gone 

| was so cold that it hurt and | thought | was 
going to die but then | looked down (I think it 
was down) and | saw something below me 

It was a big black sign that said CAVERAGE 
CO on it 

| started falling down towrds the sign and it 
had one of those little letter r's in a circle on it 
The sign was so big that | fell right threw that 
circle and thats when | woke up here 

| dont remeber anything else | have to stop

SCP-2225: Repentant Lindworm 


Item #: SCP-2225 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2225 is currently 
contained in an enclosure on the outside grounds of Area-12. 
Access to SCP-2225 requires Level-4 authorization, and any 
personnel entering the enclosure are to be accompanied by a 
security guard. Should SCP-2225 become violent, it is to be 
tranquilized immediately and all personnel evacuated from the 
containment unit. As SCP-2225 is generally docile, care should be 
taken to avoid provoking or agitating it. Soeaking calmly, maintaining 
eye contact, and waiting for SCP-2225 to approach the speaker on 
its own have been found to lead to successful interactions. 


SCP-2225 is to be fed 10 grams of human hair daily; the hair must 
be obtained equally from two individuals! (e.g. about 5 grams from 
each) who must be on mutually friendly terms. A storage bank of 
hair samples is to be maintained and restocked as necessary for this 
purpose. There must be at all times a backup supply of two weeks’ 
meals. Should SCP-2225 show signs of malnutrition (determined to 
be excess shedding of skin), its daily ration is to be doubled for one 
week. 


A detailed record of the current providers of material for SCP-2225’s 
meals is to be kept. A list of backup provider profiles is to be 
available to all personnel assigned to SCP-2225, and updated 
monthly. 


Description: SCP-2225 is a serpentine entity possessing two 
forelegs and a spined, lizardlike head. It measures roughly nine 
meters long, and 0.5 meters at thickest body diameter. Chemical 
analysis of shed skin samples reveals that its body contains traces 
of silver. A crest of multicolored hair runs the length of SCP-2225’s 
back; lab testing indicates that various hair samples taken from 


SCP-2225 are consistent in composition with human hair. 


SCP-2225 is capable of limited communication.2 It appears to have 
difficulty forming words correctly, and its speech is halting. 
Nevertheless, all subjects report that its speech is clearly 
understandable in the listener's primary language. SCP-2225 is 
believed to be sapient, and based on interviews, seems to possess 
a simplistic mindset. 


SCP-2225’s diet consists solely of human hair. This was determined 
when SCP-2225 was initially discovered in a museum, attempting to 
tear apart an heirloom journal that had been in the exhibition 
storage. SCP-2225 was restrained and transported to a Foundation 
facility, and the journal studied. SCP-2225 had been attempting to 
extract and consume a small length of braided hair (noted in the 
journal to be part from the journal’s owner, part from their closest 
friend). 


Following inconclusive initial interviews with SCP-2225, various 
experimental trials were subsequently carried out to replicate 
SCP-2225's preferred sustenance. When SCP-2225 refused every 
generated hair sample, it was proposed that based on the origin of 
the recovered hair from the journal, experimental samples should be 
paired based on current relationships between providers. The 
“friend” trials¢ were the only samples SCP-2225 did not reject. It is 
unknown whether providers of SCP-2225's sustenance experience 
any adverse effects, but none have been noted thus far. 


SCP-2225 is able to, at irregular intervals, materialize small trinkets 
from its hair crest. These items are either silver-colored or 
containing silver (noted items have included coins, grooming 
apparatus, and various articles of jewelry, most commonly lockets). 
This usually follows regurgitation of hair samples. Researchers have 
allowed it to keep most of the items it has recovered in this manner; 
SCP-2225 becomes aggressive when personnel attempt to take 
away objects by force. However, it has given away all items that 
pertain to Foundation personnel whose hair it has consumed. (See 
interview log) 


Interview Log 2225-3- - : The following interview, 
conducted on / / between Dr. Mark Kiryu and 


SCP-2225, suggests a possible childhood of SCP-2225 
and may partially explain its behavior. 


Dr. Kiryu: Good morning. 
SCP-2225: [looks inquiringly at Kiryu] For me? 
Dr. Kiryu: Here’s your meal. | hope it’s to your liking. 


SCP-2225: [begins to sniff at hair samples, chews on a 
few strands] For me, | must return what | stole. 
Friendships are feasts, but | wanted friends. 


Dr. Kiryu: Actually, | don’t know if you’ve met those who 
gave the hair, but they apparently have quite the history. 
Lots of adventures as children. 


SCP-2225: [begins retching, vomits up a mass of hair, 
and examines it] For child friends... [SCP-2225 leans on 
a nearby boulder, and uses one of its limbs to dislodge 
an object from its hair crest] | had none. | will return what 
| stole. Feasts are forgotten. [SCP-2225 picks up the 
object, later determined to be a small silver-colored 
model airplane, in its claws and deposits it next to Kiryu] 
It looked like me, but was not for me. Not a friend. For 
you, return? 


Dr. Kiryu: For me? | don’t think | should keep it. 


SCP-2225: [shakes head] For them, return what was 
stolen. 


Dr. Kiryu: | think I’ve got it. This belonged to the two of 
them, didn’t it? 


SCP-2225: [nods head] For two friends. Return to them. 
What was stolen. What | stole. | had feasts, but | have 
nothing for me. 


Dr. Kiryu: | see. I'll bring it to them. What made you 
decide to give these things back? 


SCP-2225: [facial expression approximates a smile] For 
friends. 


Note: When questioned, D-3178 and D-3179 stated that 
the airplane was a childhood plaything they had 
constructed together, during the beginning of their 
acquaintance. Both had believed it lost in a lake at some 
point, because a small snake swimming in the water had 
startled one of them into dropping it. The snake, as 
remembered by D-3179, was silver-colored. 


Footnotes 

1. The personnel currently assigned as providers are D-3178 and 
D-3179. 

2. It is noted that SCP-2225 initially spoke very little with Foundation 
staff, but became gradually more vocal when it was being fed 
correctly. 

3. The first round of experimentation focused on replicating the 
hairs’ chemical composition either synthetically or matching with 
samples collected from on-site staff.

SCP-2226: Annihilation 


Item #: SCP-2226 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2226 is to be suspended 
within the 1,000 T paramagnetic field of a standard antimaterial 
containment unit! which must be constantly monitored by at least 
one antimaterial containment technician and two armed security 
personnel. The unit housing SCP-2226 must be held within an 
appropriately sized chamber supplied electricity indefinitely with a 
power supply connected to at least two backup reactors. The 
chamber must be lined with a material suitable for blocking the 
2.15 kHz radio transmissions broadcasted from SCP-2226. 


SCP-2226 must be stored at Lunar Site-13. Terrestrial storage 
would be needlessly problematic as a containment breach during 
atmospheric reentry would have catastrophic consequences and 
create immense censorship difficulties. 


Description: SCP-2226 is an extraterrestrial escape craft 
composed entirely of antimatter. The object is ellipsoid in shape and 
constructed from an alloy of the antimatter counterparts of iron, tin, 
and nickel with a mass of 847 kg and semi-principal axes of 4.10 m, 
1.72 m, and 1.50 m. It has eight maneuvering thrusters arranged in 
two sets of four around each of its ends. In the center of SCP-2226 
there is a 0.73 m wide circular, transparent hatch through which the 
object’s interior is visible. The hatch's transparency seems to be 
only a consequence of its composition, which spectrographic tests 
reveal to be a form of enameled glass, and not intended to make the 
surroundings of SCP-2226 visible (see description of SCP-2226-1). 


SCP-2226 broadcasts a 2.15 kHz radio transmission lasting for 
approximately 5 seconds every 7 seconds. Transmission contents 
vary slightly from broadcast to broadcast and seem to express the 
object's positional coordinates for any vessels within range of the 


signal.2 


Inside SCP-2226 is a compact control panel with several knobs and 
levers that seem to control the object's maneuvering thrusters and 
radio transmitter. In the center of the panel is a tactile display 
consisting of a rectangular grid of fifty by twenty minute metal pegs 
which individually raise and lower to indicate internal and external 
conditions. Underneath the panel is a storage chest containing a 
small, stringed instrument composed of metal. Resembling a 
Vietnamese k'ni,3 it consists of a post with a main string running 
down its length and a sympathetic string attaching the main string to 
a resonating membrane. The interior floor is littered with fourteen 
empty metal containers once holding an unidentified purple paste 
(see event log 2226-B). 


Beside the control panel is a vaguely humanoid entity resting within 
what is believed to be a suspended animation chamber. Designated 
as SCP-2226-1, the entity measures 2.45 m in height. Its skin is a 
deep mauve and it possesses two pairs of upper limbs and a single 
pair of lower limbs connected to its torso. Its upper limbs terminate 
in a hand with seven webbed fingers while its lower limbs terminate 
in feet with seven shorter digits. SCP-2226-1 lacks a distinct head 
and instead has its main sensory structures (two large, pteropine4 
ears; three nasal slits; one mouth with protruding fangs) centered in 
its torso. As no eyes or photoreceptive organs are visible5 on the 
creature's body, it is assumed to perceive its surroundings through 
echolocation. Its visible teeth suggest a carnivorous or omnivorous 
diet, though it has only been observed eating onboard provisions. As 
it hasn't been observed excreting waste it is assumed all metabolic 
byproducts are released during exhalation. 


A translucent mask is fitted over the nasal slits and mouth of 
SCP-2226-1, supplying it an unidentified respiratory gas from a tank 
beside the chamber estimated at 5.6 L in volume. Given that the 
tank has not yet been exhausted and appears to be connected to 
the interior wall, SCP-2226 likely has an onboard system that 
removes waste products from and recirculates exhaled gas. 


It is unknown how long the vital processes of SCP-2226-1 will 
remain in suspension or how long the radio transmitter of SCP-2226 
will remain functional. SCP-2226 does not appear to contain any 


remaining provisions. 


Event Log 2226-A: Details of event leading to Foundation recovery 
of SCP-2226 on 05/16/1999. 


05:13 Extraterrestrial vessel appears in flash of white 
light at an altitude of approximately 130,000 m above far 
side of moon. Vessel is dull grey in color and ellipsoid in 
shape, with semi-principal axes of approximately 30 m, 
17 m, and 15 m. Vessel appears critically damaged with 
starboard side of hull partially molten and trailing debris. 


05:16 Vessel altitude 126,000 m. Five of eight thrusters 
on the stern of vessel ignite. Vessel achieves 
acceleration of approximately 16 m/s?. Entity or entities 
piloting vessel seem to be attempting lunar orbit. 


05:19 Vessel altitude 122,000 m. Stern of vessel 
explodes. Velocity proves insufficient to achieve orbit. 


05:25 Vessel altitude 113,000 m. Vessel ejects 
SCP-2226. SCP-2226 begins transmitting radio signal 
and its maneuvering thrusters engage. Entity piloting 
SCP-2226 appears to be attempting lunar orbit. 


05:29 Vessel altitude 109,000 m, SCP-2226 altitude 
110,000 m. 


05:32 Vessel altitude 97,000 m, SCP-2226 altitude 
112,000 m. 


05:36 Vessel altitude 82,000 m, SCP-2226 altitude 
114,000 m. SCP-2226 achieves lunar orbit. 


05:57 Vessel impacts far side of lunar surface, resulting 
in an explosion estimated at 430 gigatons in strength. 
Explosion releases burst of high-energy gamma rays and 
neutrinos. 


06:03 No trace of vessel remains. Resulting crater 
estimated at 15 km in width and 4 km in depth. 


06:35 Foundation researchers determine vessel was 
composed of antimatter. SCP-2226 composition also 
ruled to be of antimatter. 


09:54 Magnetic Recovery Ship 7782 (“Faraday’s Lover”) 
launched from Lunar Site-13. 


11:37 As Faraday's Lover begins to approach 
SCP-2226, the object's maneuvering thrusters engage. 
The entity piloting the object appears to be taking 
evasive action. Faraday's Lover begins pursuit of 
SCP-2226, maintaining safe distance of 200 m. 


17:45 Maneuvering thrusters of SCP-2226 cease firing, 
having apparently expended their fuel supply. Faraday's 
Lover matches the object's velocity. 


17:56 Having evacuated the air from its containment 
bay, the crew of Faraday's Lover activates the ship's field 
generators and successfully recovers SCP-2226. 


20:02 SCP-2226 brought to Lunar Site-13. Preliminary 
containment procedures begin. 


Note: The antimatter explosion has been censored from scientific 
publications. Radar jamming has successfully prevented the 
detection of the resulting crater by lunar orbiters.
