SCP-518: The Transinformational Tomb of Asa 
Rutledge 


Item #: SCP-518 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-518 is to be monitored by 
a field research team consisting of at least three staff and one 
project lead, supplemented by two security staff. This team shall be 
based at Remote Observation Site-18, 3 km from SCP-518. An 
automated security perimeter surrounding SCP-518 is to be 
established and maintained. 


One physical copy of SCP-518-1 is authorized to exist at any given 
time for the purposes of research. This copy is to be kept at all times 
in an opaque, protective sleeve, sealed in a locked container and 
kept in Storage Locker 742 in Restricted Access Wing 1 of Site-93. 
One electronic copy is permitted to be accessible from authorized 
terminals at Site-93 and Remote Observation Site-18. Any 
unauthorized instances of SCP-518-1 discovered by Foundation 
personnel are to be destroyed immediately. 


Description: SCP-518 is a localized anomalous phenomenon, 
catalyzed by the dissemination and exposure of SCP-518-1. 


SCP-518 is, currently, a complex in a small valley consisting of 
eleven wooden structures in varying states of repair, designed and 
built in the style of structures common in newly-settled areas of the 
American West during the mid-19th century. These structures are 
arranged in a manner inconsistent with an established settlement; 
buildings are arranged in a roughly circular pattern, with no regard to 
road systems or natural topography (one structure is currently 
located on top of a creek). SCP-518 is located in rural Deschutes 
County, Oregon, United States, in the vicinity of the Metolius River. 


SCP-518-1 is a short narrative, first documented upon the initial 


SCP-3990: Deer in the Headroom 


Item #: SCP-3990 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: 3 automated monitoring/ECM 
stations have been constructed within the region, which will block 
SCP-3990 with static interference when it is detected. Regular 
maintenance is to be conducted 24 hours before each predicted 
occurrence of SCP-3990. 


In the event that the above procedure fails, a website has been 
created describing SCP-3990 as an abstract art project which 
sometimes accidentally disrupts other broadcasts. SCP-3990-1 
events are to be explained with Disinformation Story 4213-C 
(Frequencies which cannot be detected by human ears). 


Both specimens of SCP-3990-2 are to be captured and contained as 
soon as possible. A large, outdoor paddock is currently being 
designed to contain the entities when they are captured. 


Containment Update - 05/15/2016: SCP-3990-2B is contained ina 
large outdoor paddock furnished with foliage. The entity is to be fed 
on fruit and hay, and given a supply of clean water. When 
SCP-3990-2A is captured, it is to be contained within a separate 
paddock with higher fences. 


Description: SCP-3990 refers to an anomalous radio broadcast 
which occurs fortnightly in the Canadian province of British 
Columbia. The signal often interrupts non-anomalous radio devices 
while playing, such as car and home radios. Its content consists 
mostly of incomprehensible grunts and calls, attributed to those 
made by deer. However, some understandable words have been 


heard, such as "deer", "grass", "immigrants" and "bears". 


The event that occurs as a result of SCP-3990 is designated 


SCP-3990-1. When SCP-3990 occurs and any members of the 
family Cervidae are within a 0.5 kilometre radius, the deer will travel 
to the device playing SCP-3990. Then, they will stand around the 
source, huddling close together, and make quiet vocalisations. 
SCP-3990-1 ceases when the radio device stops playing SCP-3990, 
or it is turned off. Deer involved in SCP-3990-1 events will 
sometimes treat humans with slightly above average fear or 
aggression during the process. 


SCP-3990-2 refers to two entities (designated SCP-3990-2A and 
SCP-3990-2B) that are believed to be related to the origin of 
SCP-3990. The entities are deer of an unknown species, resembling 
those of the genus Odocoileus, but around 40% larger. SCP-3990-2 
move at an extremely fast pace, and can outrun vehicles such as 
jeeps and helicopters, clocked at a top speed of 135mph. Due to the 
evasiveness of SCP-3990-2, little is known about either them or 
SCP-3990 itself. 


Addendum: SCP-3990 was broadcast naturally 3 times prior to the 
construction of the radio towers. On the second occurrence, a 
portable radio was placed in a forest with a very large deer 
population. Logs can be found below. 


1530: SCP-3990 begins with the sound of an unknown, 
rhythmic, metallic banging. 


1532-1534: SCP-3990-1 occurs. Around 40 deer emerge 
from the surrounding foliage and crowd around the radio 
device, awaiting the voiced portion of the transmission. 


1535: The main body of SCP-3990 starts. Most of the 
transmission is incomprehensible deer grunts, but the 
English word "apple" is frequently heard. When the first 
instance of "apple" was spoken, the deer were noted to 
look at each other. 


1537: One deer places its hoof on its forehead and holds 
it for a few seconds, before shaking its head. A few other 
deer repeat this action. 


1538: The topic apparently changes. The word “hunt" is 


heard within the grunts. 


1539: The deer display nervous body language, and 
many take a step back. An instance moves between the 
radio and a juvenile. 


1540: The deer begin to make glances at the 
researchers. A few sounds resembling growls are heard. 


1542: Another rhythmic banging sound is heard, before 
SCP-3990 silences. This causes the end of SCP-3990-1, 
and the deer return to normal behaviour. 


Addendum 2: A recent attempt at capturing SCP-3990-2 is 
documented below. Attempt was carried out by members of MTF- 
Tau-22 ("Forest Fires"). 


> ACCESS - Recovery Attempt 3990.3 


FORWARD - 3 members of MTF-Tau-22 - 
Kallas, Mishra and Lynam were sent in to 
attempt to capture the SCP-3990-2 entities. 
The team was armed with tranquilliser rifles, 
thermal cameras, and net launchers. The 
automatic jamming system was turned off so 
the team could track SCP-3990-2. The 
excursion took place at night. 


<Begin Log.> 


COMMAND: Once SCP-3990 begins, it's 
hypothesised we'll lose contact, and you won't 
be able to communicate with each other 
through your radios. Is everyone in their 
positions? 


Kallas: Yes, confirm. 
Mishra: All good. 


Lynam: Good to go. 


COMMAND: Affirmative. There are spare 
tranquilliser darts stored in your ammunition 
pouch. 


Mishra: Understood. 


COMMAND: We believe you'll be able to 
locate SCP-3990-2 through the severity of the 
interruption in your radio devices. Go in the 
direction that the interruption is the most 
severe. 


Kallas: Affirmative. 


COMMAND: Good I- SCP-3990 begins, 
knocking out communication. The team test 
out several directions. 


Lynam: West. 


The team moves west. Kallas checks his 
tranquilliser rifle. Mishra suddenly extends a 
hand. 


Mishra: Stop. | heard something. Lynam, you 
should keep your earpiece in, in case the 
direction changes. 


Mishra and Kallas point their weapons into the 
forest, before a small herd of deer emerge and 
begin travelling in the direction the team was 
heading. 


Kallas: | guess that confirms it. Let's keep 
moving. 


The team continues west, following the deer 
herd closely behind. Soon, another herd 
emerges from the shrub, heading in the same 
direction. 


Lynam: We could take off our earpieces now. 


| think we have something accurate to follow. 
Kallas: Good idea. 


The team remove their earpieces and follow 
the deer herds. A low susurration can be heard 
not too far away. 


Mishra: | think this is it. 


More and more deer emerge from the forest, 
heading in the direction of the sound. The deer 
pay little attention to the team. 


Kallas: We must be getting close now, surely. 
Ready your rifles. 


The number of deer is increasing rapidly, and 
the team are struggling to find space to move. 


Lynam: How are we even going to tranquillise 
the damn things through all these deer? 


Mishra: | don't know. We'll just have to keep 
pushing, | guess. 


The team pushes further through the crowd of 
deer, which seem to be completely unfazed. 
Another sound is picked up by the deer over 
the noises of the crowd. 


Mishra: | think this is it... it's louder than the 
ambience. 


The team push forward until they reach a 
firmly placed crowd of deer, with no gaps for 
movement. 


Kallas: Turn on your torches, we'll need to find 
a path forward. 


The torches are turned on, and the area is 


scanned. 
Lynam: Oh shit! 


The torches focus on two large entities - 
SCP-3990-2A and SCP-3990-2B. They are 
standing in a clearing, surrounded on all sides 
by deer. SCP-3990-2A is bipedal, but 
struggling to be so and hunched over, while 
SCP-3990-2B walks on all fours, and appears 
malnourished. SCP-3990-2B has a large radio 
device strapped to its back, and has antlers 
made of a metallic substance. Both entities are 
facing away from the team. The entities slowly 
turn to face the team, as do all of the deer in 
the vicinity. The only noise is from the radio 
devices, which are giving off loud white noise. 


Mishra: Now. 


Lynam fires a dart, which pierces 
SCP-3990-2B's neck, causing it to become 
sluggish and stumble. The deer in the vicinity 
scramble past the team, knocking down 
Mishra and trampling over her. In the 
scramble, SCP-3990-2A appears to tear off 
SCP-3990-2B's antlers and the radio device, 
before darting into the forest with the rest of 
the deer. SCP-3990-2B collapses, 
unconscious. 


Kallas: You okay, Mishra? 


Mishra: | think my right leg is broken, fractured 
at the very least, just turn on the radios and 
contact command. Tell them we got one of 
them. 


Kallas: Command? This is Kallas. 
SCP-3990-2B is tranquillised. 


COMMAND: Good, we're sending in a 
collection team. 


Lynam: Affirmative. 


AFTERWORD: SCP-3990-2B was transferred 
to a containment paddock, and is currently ina 
healthy condition, exhibiting no anomalous 
effects apart from its size. 


Addendum 3: On 8/14/201 , an event occurred which involved 
SCP-3990-2. The event has been designated Incident 3990-03, and 
affected northwest British Columbia. 


Incident 3990-03 affected television devices, and was a broadcast 
intrusion event resulting in programming being hijacked by 
SCP-3990-2A. The hijacking lasted for approximately 12 minutes 
before ending, at which point the televisions returned back to normal 
with no negative effects to the device. 


The broadcast began with SCP-3990-2A running through a forest. 
The entity's face was slightly rounded, and it possessed 
SCP-3990-2B's removed antlers inserted into the sides of its head. 
SCP-3990-2A began with incomprehensible verbalisations. The 
camera used in the broadcast was heavily distorted and unfocused. 


SCP-3990-2A then began to pace back and forth, while stating the 
phrase "today's headlines" several times. At this stage, several 
normal deer were seen in the background. The entity then began to 
speak broken, monotone English about several apparent subjects, 
such as bears and a water shortage. 


Towards the end of the broadcast, SCP-3990-2A tapped the camera 
with its hoof, which had split into four autonomous "fingers". 
SCP-3990-2A stared at the camera for approximately 40 seconds 
before dropping the camera, at which point the broadcast abruptly 
ended. 


In response to this incident, posters have been put up in the region 
linking the hijacking to the hoax website (see containment 
procedures). It is unknown if further television hijackings will occur in 


the future. 


SCP-3991: "Lewis Island" 


SCP-3991 as viewed from the U.S.S on / /1997 


Item #: SCP-3991 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: An exclusion zone is to be 
maintained at a distance of three (3) kilometres from the geographic 
centre of the island, with the area officially designated a U.S. Navy 
installation to deter visitors. Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer USS 
Curtis Wilbur is to conduct regular patrols around the island. 
Additional, fake vessels are to be constructed from wood and 
styrofoam to appear from a distance as U.S. Navy ships, to further 
sell the island as a military installation. 


Forged accounts of the island's existence are to be placed into 
media dating from 1951 until the present day. As it is uninhabited 
and extremely remote, said media will state that it was discovered 
by a U.S. Navy ship blown off-course while conducting drills in the 
Arctic Circle in 1951. The island was subsequently claimed by the 
U.S. Navy as its northernmost installation, and records of this 
installation will be circulated to the general populace until its 
existence before 1993 is unquestioned. According to the forged 
accounts, the installation was classified until 1993, explaining its 
absence from most media of the time. Post-1993 internet records 
are to be altered to include the installation. 


Any record of Kaffeklubben Island's status as the northernmost 
island in the world is to be expunged, and replaced with SCP-3991 
under the name "Lewis Island". A fake image will be created and 
supplied with these records to deter questions about SCP-3991's 
resemblance to Ball's Pyramid. 


Any printed or otherwise saved material post-1993 that is not edited 
by the Foundation to include SCP-3991 is to be considered a 


printing error and deemed incorrect. People exposed to these 
materials who ask questions will be administered Class A 
Amnestics. 


Samples chipped from the island are to be stored, 
electromagnetically levitated, an appropriate distance from other 
objects. The only sample currently separate from the main island, 
3991-Sample-1, is to be stored in a Type 41 Electromagnetic 
Levitation Chamber! in the Safe-Class object archives of Site-19. 
Removal of additional samples is currently prohibited, and requests 
for experimentation with 3991-Sample-1 must be submitted in 
writing to Site-19's Level 4 Director. Requests for additional samples 
to be taken must be submitted in writing to O5 Command. 


Description: SCP-3991 is an island located in the Arctic Circle, its 
southernmost point located exactly 1. kilometres north of 
Kaffeklubben Island, Greenland. It is identical in all dimensions to 
Ball's Pyramid, a unique geological formation found east of 
Australia. As Ball's Pyramid was formed as a remnant of a shield 
volcano, the shape of SCP-3991 and its location in the Arctic Circle 
is considered an anomaly. 


SCP-3991 appeared through unknown means between the times of 
18: and19: on / /1993. The U.S. polar-orbiting satellite DMsP 
5D-2/F06 did not image the island when it passed over the island's 
location at the time of 18: , however the island appeared in the 
image taken 6072 seconds later at 19: . As DMSP 5D-2/F06 was 
the only satellite to image that point during the period of the island's 
appearance, its 6072-second orbital period is the most precise time 
period obtainable by the Foundation. 


SCP-3991 shows an extensive level of anomalous time dilation. 
Effects typically associated with time dilation, such as extreme 
gravity, have not been observed. The time dilation has been 
observed to be radiating outward from the island in a sort of 
gradient, to about two kilometres offshore where the effect 
diminishes to a point of being unobservable. The following table 
shows the recorded time dilation at different distances from the 
geographic centre of SCP-3991:
