Limited analysis of the SCP-3296 capsule orbiting Earth 
has revealed a lack of life signs, save for several 
feathers attached to the exterior of SCP-3296-A. 
SCP-3296-B's messages are believed to be related to 
the containment breach of EoI-121 and SCP-3662. 
SCP-3296 has been reclassified as Neutralized.

SCP-3297: Gramma Always Remembers. 


Item #: SCP-3297 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3297 is to be held within a 
standard humanoid containment chamber. Cleaning of SCP-3297's 
containment cell is to be carried out once weekly only when it is 
dormant. The dormant state can be triggered by lowering the 
temperature of its containment cell below 20°C ten minutes before 
entry. No meals are to be provided. 


SCP-3297 is to be visited by one D-Class personnel once a day for 
no longer than 1 hour. D-Class exposed to the entity are to be 
rotated on a weekly schedule. 


Description: SCP-3297 is a member of an unknown species in the 
True Bug (Hemiptera) superfamily closest resembling Cicada 
(Cicadomorpha ), which disguises its arthropod appearance using a 
psychic illusion. SCP-3297 incorporates its insect biology into its 
human disguise by masking its apposition compound eyes as a pair 
of very thick and pale-opaque glasses, and membranous wings as a 
shawl. It possesses a chitinous brown exoskeleton, stands upright, 
and has 6 uniramous extremities. The first pair is used to grab and 
use items. The lower pair is used in locomotion, while the middle 
pair is atrophied, appearing to have become vestigial. 


SCP-3297's disguise takes on the visual appearance of an 
octogenarian Caucasian female measuring 1.6m (around the same 
height as the entity) and looking to weigh between 70-75kg (the 
entity weighs 50kg). Though it has been known to change its 
disguise from time to time, curly white hair, floral patterns on 
clothing, flip-flops, and sunspots are a common feature. The entity's 
disguise does not extend to photos or videos taken of it in which it 
appears in its true form. The entity is capable of speech and is 
intelligent, referring to itself with various colloquialisms for 


grandmother. 


SCP-3297 possesses mind-altering and reading capabilities, which 
thus far have only been recorded to work on humans interacting with 
it. SCP-3297 will plant false memories of itself onto a subject's mind 
as if it were their grandmother and gradually replace memories not 
involving itself. Planted memories are always pleasant and usually 
involve food, toys, or Catholic holidays. Though these memories are 
often inconsistent with most subject's histories and backgrounds, 
those under the entity's effects will not find these inconsistencies 
unusual and will treat them as factual events. Subjects previously 
exposed to SCP-3297 viewing the entity in its true form will still 
regard it as their grandmother. 


The start of a memory manipulation event is marked by a sharp 
decrease in brain activity in exposed subjects. SCP-3297 will begin 
narrating the events of said planted memory in detail while subjects 
remain in a trance-like state. Once the memory has been narrated in 
full the subject will resume normal brain activity with dramatically 
heightened activity in the left prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain 
associated with happiness. Due to the disproportionate amount of 
memories SCP-3297 erases compared to the amount it plants, 
prolonged exposure to the entity may lead to negative effects. (Read 
Document 3297-232 for further details). 


When not engaging in memory manipulation, SCP-3297 is very 
talkative and will engage in conversation if prompted. Common 
topics of conversation include weather, confectionery recipes, Bible 
passages, kittens/cats, and requests for knitting supplies. Despite its 
chattiness, SCP-3297 will not cooperate when interviewed and 
insists it is "just a regular old granny" when questioned on its origins 
and anomalous properties. 


Addendum: Repeated tests reveal increased neurosecretory cell 
activity in the brain of the entity as it manipulates memories. This 
has lead Dr. Molina to theorize that SCP-3297 feeds on memories 
and implants positive ones in order to have a reliable food source 
willing to return to it after creating new memories with which to feed 
on.

Experiment 232 

Abstract: The purpose of Experiment 232 will 
be to determine the long-term effects of 
SCP-3297's memory manipulation. D-1221, a 
newly arrived D-Class has been allocated for 
use in the experiment. The subject will be 
questioned as to childhood memories, D-Class 
designation, and the contents of their lunch. 
For the sake of the experiment the subject will 
not be housed with other D-Class and will 
instead receive private accommodations. 


Day 1: Subject is able to answer all questions 
without fail. 


Day 10: Subject answered all but one question 
accurately; they were not able to remember 
what they had for lunch and could not 
remember having eaten anything. 


Day 11: Subject is able to answer all questions 
without inaccuracies including the contents of 
his lunch today. It appears that newer 
memories are not prioritized by SCP-3297. 


Day 18: Subject answered all but one question 
accurately; they were not able to remember 
their hometown. The subject was reminded 
they were born and raised in , Virginia. 
D-1221 was relieved to remember this 
information but was still agitated. 


Day 19: Subject's memory of their hometown 
appears to be completely wiped. According to 
D-1221, he cannot remember anything about 
where he grew up but does remember 
Researcher Rabui telling him about this 
yesterday. D-1221 is very troubled by this and 
was in a state of panic following interrogation, 
requiring restraints to be escorted to his living 
quarters. 


Day 26: Subject continues to answer all 
questions but the fourth correctly. Due to the 
amount of distress this has inflicted, the 
question will no longer be asked. 


Day 30: Subject claims to not remember ever 
being asked questions following interactions 
with SCP-3297. Regardless, he was still able 
to answer the questions without issue. Subject 
claims to be concerned for his health as he is 
having difficulty remembering things aside 
from his time spent with SCP-3297. 


Day 37: Subject has been unable to recall 
their age for 4 days and is showing symptoms 
of anxiety and depression when not in 
SCP-3297's proximity. Following the post- 
interaction interrogation, D-1221 expressed 
concerns about his mental health and is 
requesting psychiatrical assistance. The 
request was denied out of the possibility of 
affecting experiment results. 


Day 45: Subject could no longer remember his 
name following interaction with SCP-3297. 
Due to suffering a panic attack, D-1221 had to 
be escorted to his quarters and no further 
questions were asked. SCP-3297 appears to 
either be hesitant or unable to erase 
fundamental concepts such as one's identity 
until few other memories remain. 


Day 48: Subject has been highly unresponsive 
for two days. He does not speak in coherent 
sentences and only talks about the planted 
memories from SCP-3297 as if they are the 
only thing he can remember fully. D-1221 no 
longer answers to his D-Class designation and 
is struggling to walk. A wheelchair has been 
provided for ease of mobility. 


Day 52: SCP-3297 has expressed a 
displeasure with D-1221's behavior, accusing 
him of being rude for not responding when 
spoken to. The subject is entering withdrawn 
states when not in SCP-3297's presence and 
babbles incoherently like an infant would. A 
simple mathematic equation was presented to 
the subject along with a pen and paper to 
answer. D-1221 spent 3 minutes chewing on 
the pen and playing with the paper before the 
test was called off. An Electroencephalography 
(EEG) cap has been requisitioned to facilitate 
future experiments as the subject's 
communication abilities have been 
compromised. 


Day 53: The subject was equipped with an 
EEG cap to record brainwaves before 
interaction with SCP-3297. The subject's left 
prefrontal cortex became highly active and 
D-1221 showed signs of excitement upon 
making contact with SCP-3297. The entity 
expressed concern for the subject upon being 
introduced to its containment cell. SCP-3297 
took much longer than any previously recorded 
manipulation event before commencing. 
Immediately after the entity finished its 
narration the subject became highly 
unresponsive. EEG recordings from this point 
forward were comparable with the brain 
activity of individuals in a deep coma. The 
subject has been outfitted with a gastric 
feeding tube and oxygen mask to facilitate his 
continued existence. 


Day 54: The subject was outfitted with an EEG 
cap and wheeled into SCP-3297's containment 
cell. Once again the subject's left prefrontal 
cortex became active despite his otherwise 
unresponsive state. SCP-3297 expressed pity 


for the subject and proceeded to narrate 
children's stories and nursery rhymes while 
caressing D-1221. No memory manipulation 
event took place during the 4 hours the subject 
was exposed to the entity. A CT Scan revealed 
significant damage to D-1221's brain. The 
subject's hippocampus had shrunken 
significantly while the ventricles had swelled in 
size, similar to that of a person suffering from 
the later stages of Alzheimer's Disease. 


All future visits and experiments with 
SCP-3297 have been placed on hold by order 
of the Ethics Committee. Deliberation of 
D-1221 is pending. 


Day 58: SCP-3297 requested to speak with 
the staff in regards to the status of D-1221. 
The entity expressed a desire to see the 
subject, wishing to sing to him and bake 
cookies 'so he gets better’. 


SCP-3297's request was denied. 


Day 59: The Ethics Committee has opted to 
terminate D-1221. Special Containment 
procedures have been updated to include a 
rotation of D-Class personnel in order to avoid 
needless damage to future D-Class interacting 
with SCP-3297. 


SCP-3297 was informed D-1221 would not be 
returning to visit. The entity exhibited signs of 
sadness and appeared to sulk before stating; 
"| have so many grandchildren and | love them 
all so very much, but it aches my old heart to 
know he won't be returning like so many of my 
other dears. He might forget about little old 
me, but gramma always remembers." 


SCP-3298: Miss Connection 


Item #: SCP-3298 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: An automated webcrawling bot, 
CROSS-29803, has been assigned to monitor online personal 
advertisements and ‘missed connection’ websites for SCP-3298 
sightings, and delete posts as necessary. Civilians suspected to be 
targeted by SCP-3298 should be detained and interrogated for 
research purposes. Although the properties of SCP-3298 make 
disclosure affecting normalcy a low risk, Class B amnestic 
administration is advised prior to their release. 


Individuals affected by SCP-3298 should have their movements and 
communications monitored. Attempts to apprehend SCP-3298 have 
proven unproductive and have been suspended. Proposals for 
alternative methods should be submitted to Director Di Vita. 


Description: SCP-3298 is a humanoid entity’ of variable 
appearance between manifestations. It targets certain individuals 
and exhibits appearance, mannerisms and behaviour the target 
finds appealing, with all targets reporting strong feelings of either 
romantic or platonic attraction to SCP-3298. No trends between 
targets (eg. demographics, socioeconomic status, physical 
appearance, psychological profile) have been observed. 
appearances of SCP-3298 have been recorded globally since 1977. 
SCP-3298 only appears in public, with common sighting locations as 
follows; 


¢ Public transportation 

¢ Airports 

¢ Urban squares and public spaces 

« Parks and scenic areas 

« Museums and art galleries 

¢ Sporting, music and cultural events 


It appears at positions between 20m and 8km from the target. At 
upper distances in this range, it has been viewed through 
magnification devices, and is anomalously aware of the actions of 
the target, responding to gestures and expressions outside of 
human visual ranges. 


SCP-3298 possesses antimemetic properties. It is rarely noticed by 
others in the area, although it has been seen to interact with them in 
a mundane fashion (such as purchasing an item from a store). 
Observers have no memory of interacting with SCP-3298 and 
struggle to describe SCP-3298 even when prompted with visual 
aids. The target of SCP-3298 is also affected by this property to a 
lesser degree. While they frequently have strong memories of 
sighting SCP-3298, targets find it increasingly difficult to describe 
SCP-3298 in detail over time. The only consistently reported feature 
of SCP-3298 between manifestations is the presence of a blue item 
of clothing. While SCP-3298 is able to be captured by video and 
photographic recordings, its antimemetic properties continue to 
apply to these records. 


SCP-3298 displays behaviour consistent with non-anomalous 
humans, albeit varying between appearances. Greeting SCP-3298 
will result in positive emotional responses (smiling, waving, etc.) 
while displays of hostility, anger or irritation will cause SCP-3298 
distress and induce it to leave the scene. Despite responding 
positively to greetings, SCP-3298 avoids contact with targets, and 
attempting to approach SCP-3298 will also cause its departure. It is 
hypothesised that SCP-3298 projects a localised probability-altering 
field through which it evades contact with others (see Addendum 
3298-2). 


If a positive acknowledgement is given to SCP-3298, the target will 
continue to report SCP-3298 sightings for a period from 1 day to 
years, with SCP-3298 usually appearing at weekly to monthly 
intervals over longer periods. Its behaviour at these times is 
consistent with that in its first appearance. Not acknowledging or 
acting negatively towards SCP-3298 will end its manifestations. 
Targets affected by SCP-3298 frequently report feelings of 
melancholy and loneliness; however, this does not significantly differ 
from control subjects in comparable non-anomalous situations, and 


Gadrobi Shantytown who, he says, greatly reminds him of his friend 
Fred, who he saw just the other day in the Phoenix Inn. From 
chapter 6 on, Fred is to be found in the Phoenix Inn. 


Interestingly, for the garden party on Lady Simtal's estate, both Fred 
and Reader are guests. Bridgeburner and Daru viewpoint characters 
alike comment on how they look vaguely similar. Apart from the 
minor changes, the book has exactly the same ending as before, 
though. 


Upon returning to the journal, SCP-423 wrote only "..." when 
questioned. After a few minutes, it finally wrote "Sorry, that was 
interesting, but exhausting." SCP-423 expressed an interest in the 
remaining books of the series. This has been noted and will be 
considered as a reward for good behaviour. 


Notes: "This has proven that 423 can be in multiple places within the 
same narrative, although it seems to tire it out. - Dr. R. Karma"
