Addendum: On 08/28/2012, O5 command approved a request from 
Dr. Lindquist to restore SCP-1921-B2-09 ("Comrades of the Legion") 
to functional condition. Since the initial restoration, tests with D- 
Class personnel have not revealed any anomalous properties, with 
the exception of Experiment SCP-1921-B2-09-14. A transcription of 
research footage recorded of the event is available below. 


<Begin Video Log> 


[0:05] : Dr. Lindquist begins briefing D-5271 on the 
testing procedure. 


[2:23] : D-5271 consumes SCP-1921-A2. 


[5:30] : Dr. Lindquist activates SCP-1921-B1, which then 
begins playing SCP-1921-B2-09. 


[6:12] : No noticeable changes in D-5271's demeanor 
are observed. 


[7:03] : All keys on SCP-1921-B1 are suddenly 
depressed at once. Following this, SCP-1921-B1 
switches from playing Comrades of the Legionto a 
downtempo arrangement of Entrance of the Gladiators. 
Dr. Lindquist makes an exclamation of surprise, as 
previous tests involving SCP-1921-B2-09 only showed 
Comrades playing in its entirety. It should be noted that 
the mechanism responsible for rotating SCP-1921-B1's 
perforated music roll was not in operation for the duration 
of the new song. 


[7:24] : D-5271 states that the music is giving hima 
headache. 


[8:31] : D-5271 is recorded saying, "oh my god, | love 
clowns." 


[8:40] : D-5271 apparently suffers a seizure and falls 


onto the floor. 


[10:36] : Entrance of the Gladiators ends. D-5271 stops 
seizing and loses consciousness at the conclusion of the 
song. SCP-1921-B1's roll begins turning once more and 
Comrades of the Legion resumes playing at the point it 
was interrupted. 


[11:32] : Comrades of the Legion ends. No further 
anomalous activity observed. 


<End Video Log> 


Note: D-5271 remained comatose for 18 hours following the 
experiment. Upon awaking, D-5721 claimed that he could not 
remember who he was and complained of severe discomfort in his 
chest and abdomen. After additional testing and observation during 
a 30 day period, it was determined that D-5721 did not display any 
atypical properties or behavioral patterns apart from those 
previously mentioned. A post-termination autopsy of D-5721 
revealed that SCP-1921-A2 had integrated itself into the majority of 
D-5721's intestinal tract and muscle tissue, and a small balloon filled 
with glitter was found inside D-5271's chest cavity. A scrap of paper, 
folded in half four times, was encased in the glitter (See Document 
Log). Researchers have been unable to replicate the results of 
Experiment SCP-1921-B2-09-14 in subsequent tests. 


Document Log: The following is a transcription of the handwritten 
message on the card found inside D-5721:

SCP-1922: Limbo 


Item# SCP-1922 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1922 is housed ina 
standard human containment cell on Site-17. The subject is to 
remain under monitoring by security personnel. Self-harmful 
behavior or changes in the subject's health are to be reported to 
Doctors Dharow and/or Ipps-Hill. Psychiatric evaluations with 
interviews are administered by Dr. Dharow and health inspections 
by Dr. Ipps-Hill. Said procedures are performed on a monthly basis; 
and after the occurrence of anomalous activity. SCP-1922 is not 
allowed to possess items of combustible nature and is to be 
supervised to prevent contact with such when outside the cell. 


Description: SCP-1922 is a ninety-year-old Caucasian male named 
Herbert .SCP-1922 is diagnosed with Diabetes mellitus type 2 
and peripheral vascular disease. Subject's medical condition with 
the effect of the anomaly have caused several episodes of gangrene 
in the lower limbs, which have led to amputations. For a full list of 
medical details on SCP-1922, please see Document 1922-Med. 


SCP-1922 behaves as a normal elderly human until expiring from a 
natural cause, myocardial infarction being the most common 
probable cause of death. SCP-1922 remains in a state of clinical 
death for approximately 45 minutes, after which it slowly reanimates. 
Full recovery may take up to 2 hours. After reanimation the subject 
is slightly disoriented, but the periods of clinical death have not been 
shown to cause any neurological damage. IQ testing has proven no 
deterioration and SCP-1922 appears mentally healthy and 
intelligent. Compared to subject's advanced age, the level of intellect 
is well maintained. The subject describes experiences in elaborate 
detail, supposedly taking place during the anomalous activity. 
Currently no evidence exists nor may be provided to support the 
subject's claims. Whether the anomaly induces vivid hallucinations 


or SCP-1922 deliberately produces misinformation is unknown. For 
more details, please see Document 1922-Psy and the Interview Log. 


Note: 2005-07-03: It has been recorded that the time SCP-1922 
remains clinically deceased extends after each subsequent expiry. 
The reanimation process, nevertheless, takes subsequently less 
time. 


Note: 2008-05-05: SCP-1922 has started to show suicidal 
tendencies. 


Recovery: SCP-1922 was recovered from Hospitalin , 

on 1997-06-06. Specialized doctors were alerted when a man had 
regained consciousness in the hospital morgue, almost an hour after 
having been declared deceased. The subject was taken into custody 
of the Foundation and the subject's family was later provided with 
substitute ashes. Class-C Amnestics administered to hospital staff in 
charge of the subject. SCP-1922 was led to believe he was being 
moved to different hospital with better faculties. 


Addendum-1922-1: Partial Interview Log: 
Interview 1922-001 1997-06-07 
Initial interview conducted after containment. 
<Begin Log> 
Dr. Dharow: Alright, Herbert? Feeling better? 


SCP-1922: Does my family know I'm here, 
doctor? Have you told them? 


Dr. Dharow: Uh, well... Herbert... 


SCP-1922: I'll take that as a no, then. | might 
be old, doctor, but I'm not stupid, you know. 
That's good. That's good, right? | mean, they 
mourn me already, don't they? 


Dr. Dharow: | really wouldn't know. 


SCP-1922: Of course, doctor. | just... | just 
don't want to put them through this again. 
They'll be better off without, won't they? This 
wasn't the first time, doctor, you know. It's 
happened before. At home. But | was all by 
myself, then. First | thought | had slept. But it 
wasn't all right, you know. | guess you caught 
me this time, didn't you? [Subject laughs] An 
old man, cheating death. 


Dr. Dharow: How does it happen, then? 
Cheating death. 


SCP-1922: | don't know. You tell me. You're 
the doctor here, doctor. | just wake up. 


Dr. Dharow: Can you tell me what does 
happen? Can you describe it to me? 


SCP-1922: | really don't know, there's nothing 
| can tell you. Can you just please not tell my 
family? Just promise you'll keep them out of 
this. 


<End Log> 


The subject refused to continue with the interview unless 
promised the family would not be contacted. 


Interview 1922-016 1999-03-09 


Interview conducted shortly after SCP-1922 had 
recovered from the reanimation stage and following 
surgery. The subject's recollection of experiences 
regarding the anomaly appear to improve after each 
occurrence. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Dharow: I'm sorry about your foot, 


Herbert. 


SCP-1922: Yes, yes. Seems to go on like this. 
I'm not really going anywhere am |? 


Dr. Dharow: What can you tell me about your 
experience this time? 


SCP-1922: It's awful. It really is. | wish | 
couldn't remember, doctor. | wish I'd forget, 
like | used to. It's just too much. 


Dr. Dharow: Tell me. 


SCP-1922: Hell, it's like a waiting room. That 
horrible feeling of anticipation. The pressure. 


Dr. Dharow: Hell? Do you mean it's hell you 
think you go to? 


SCP-1922: Not in the way you'd think. 
Certainly feels like hell, but that's not it. 


Dr. Dharow: What else? 


SCP-1922: The usual. It's not changing, 
doctor. Okay? I'll tell you if it does, you don't 
have to ask me every time, you know? All the 
pieces... Sorry, doctor, | feel really nauseous 
right now, can we stop for a minute? 


<End Log> 


The subject appears to reflect feelings of impending 
death and surgery in dreams during clinical death 
periods. 


Interview 1922-038 2003-11-20 


Interview conducted shortly after SCP-1922 had 
recovered from the reanimation stage and following 


surgery. 
<Begin Log> 
SCP-1922: Why can't | just die, doctor? 


Dr. Dharow: We don't know, Herbert. We 
don't know. | wish you would help us. 


SCP-1922: Help? Help you? I'm the one here 
who needs help and I'm beyond help! 


Dr. Dharow: We're trying, Herbert. 


SCP-1922: Trying? For years I've been dying 
here and there's nothing you can do about it. 
What do | do? No one can escape death, but 
death escapes me! You know what | want, 
doctor? 


Dr. Wilds: What? 


SCP-1922: Next time | go, | want you to burn 
me. Okay? Just burn me, you know. 


Dr. Dharow: We don't perform euthanasia 
here, Herbert. 


SCP-1922: Yes, yes, so I've heard.

Addendum 1922-3: Psychological Evaluation: 
Document 1922-Psy 
[Excerpt] 


Even after years of interrogations 
[discontinued 1998-02-08] and ongoing 
interviews, SCP-1922 is reluctant to provide 
information on the means of acquired 
prolonged lifespan. SCP-1922 is considered to 
be completely aware of the process behind the 
reanimation, but refuses to cooperate. No 
crucial information has been obtained from the 
subject, and as medical examinations and 
testing have proved inconclusive, the means to 
the subject's ability to reanimate remains 
currently unknown. SCP-1922 has become 
increasingly suicidal and even less compliant, 
making the monthly interviews unavailing. 


As medical examinations show [refer to 
Document 1922-Med], SCP-1922 in the state 
of clinical death shows no brain activity. 
However, after reanimation the subject has 
been able to describe experiences that have 
supposedly occurred during the period. It has 
not been determined if the subject is actually 
capable of such experiences or if the 
descriptions of such are merely intended to 
mislead the researchers. SCP-1922 claims 
that during death, it (or its consciousness) is 
transferred to an undisclosed locus. According 


to the subject this locus is occupied by what 
appear to be parts of the human body, mainly 
hair and limbs. SCP-1922 has also 
occasionally described skin, organs and teeth. 
The subject reports feelings of dread and 
nausea, and often refuses to discuss these 
visions. This behavior led to the dismissed 
theory that SCP-1922 is able to dream while 
being clinically deceased. The absence of any 
brain activity indicates otherwise. SCP-1922 
believes its own body to be responsible for the 
transfer and the only way to "escape" this 
condition is to be cremated. Subject's 
concerns are to be disregarded.

SCP-1923: Asteroid Forest 


Item #: SCP-1923 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the distance and 
gravitational forces separating SCP-1923 and Earth, containment is 
currently considered de facto. In addition to the stationary camera 
on , camera probes are to be launched from Luna- to 
observe SCP-1923 on a regular basis. All photographs of 
SCP-1923-Alpha by outside sources are to be doctored before 
public release. All signals or transmissions originating from 
SCP-1923-Alpha are to be recorded and analyzed. 


In the event SCP-1923-Alpha (or any celestial body bearing 
SCP-1923) shows alteration of its orbit, the Foundation is to enact 
[DATA EXPUNGED] procedures. 


Description: SCP-1923 are tree-like organisms found on the 
asteroid (designated SCP-1923-Alpha), located in the Sol 
system's asteroid belt. Photographic evidence shows a thick green 
canopy, completely obscuring the surface of SCP-1923-Alpha. By 
comparing previously known dimensions of SCP-1923-Alpha to now, 
it is estimated that a singular SCP-1923 specimen is approximately 
95m tall. Spectroscopic analysis of SCP-1923 reveals that the 
canopy has a reflective spectrum similar to that of terrestrial leaves, 
with minor-but-significant absorption differences. 


Due to the inability to casually observe SCP-19231, a stationary 
camera has placed on a nearby asteroid of similar orbit, designated 
SCP-1923-Watcher. As of this date, the Foundation is not capable of 
providing high-quality photographs of either SCP-1923 or 
SCP-1923-Alpha. As such, all data concerning SCP-1923 is 
assumed to be as tenuous as the ability to view it. 


At both ends of SCP-1923-Alpha, a single 'branch' of SCP-1923
