Special Containment Procedures: A single prisoner 
affected by SCP-3002 is to be kept for the purposes of 
testing and analysis. They will be held in a standard 
humanoid containment cell in Site-41. Verbal and 
physical interaction is to be limited to approved testing. 
The remaining prisoners and staff members of South 
Rock Penitentiary have been given Class B amnestics, 
and are to be monitored for any re-occurrence of 
SCP-3002. 


Description: SCP-3002 refers to a specific memory 
shared by 85% of the prisoner population in the South 
Rock Penitentiary, located near Lafayette, Indiana. 
Affected inmates are all able to recall a specific day from 


their childhood. Specific dates vary between subjects, 
but the majority remember this day occurring sometime 
between the ages of ten to thirteen. 


SCP-3002 accounts consist of the individual walking 
through or playing in a forested garden with their best 
friend at the time. At some point in their memory, 
inmates recall getting into an argument with their friend. 
Several accounts have details that conflict with the 
person's actual life, as several subjects did not live in or 
travel to locations with forests until their adult life. 


SCP-3002 was originally discovered when Dr. Susan 
Fairbank, a psychologist working at the prison, noticed a 
large amount of inmates mentioning specific memories 
that all seemed to be identical. The incident was brought 
to the attention of the Foundation after agents monitoring 
a message board concerning psychology for a different 
anomaly noticed Dr. Fairbank's account of the shared 
memory. 


At the time of initial containment, inmates were able to 
recall details of SCP-3002 with eidetic clarity. After 
several interviews, the subjects began to recall 
progressively less detail in SCP-3002, to the point where 
recollection of the affected memory was similar to normal 
memories. The reason behind this is unclear. 


Addendum 3002-1: John Baylesh was incarcerated in 
South Rock Penitentiary in 2006 for multiple accounts of 
breaking and entering, aggravated assault, and vehicular 
manslaughter. Doctor Loyd was chosen to conduct this 
interview. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Loyd enters the interview room and takes a 
seat. Baylesh was lead into the room shortly 
after and secured to the table. 


Baylesh: You know, | kinda dig these new 


blocks, but | thought | wasn't in for a transfer. 


Dr. Loyd: Well, it's not a normal transfer, and 
most likely won't be permanent. I'm Doctor 
Loyd. | have a few questions to ask you. 


Baylesh: Well that's a shame, you folks got 
good grub. 


Dr. Loyd: Right. Would you like some water or 
something else to drink before we begin? 


Baylesh: Eh, sure. Why not, right? 


Dr. Loyd: The water will be here in a moment. 
Now, John, if John is what you go by, | want 
you to think back to your childhood. Are there 
any memories that stand out to you? Fun 
birthdays? Broken bones? Days in the park? 
Anything. 


Baylesh: (Subject waves hand dismissively.) 
Call me whatever. But why do you care? You 
some sort of shrink? 


Dr. Loyd: Please answer the question, John. 


Baylesh: Fine, fine, whatever... (Subject is 
silent for several seconds and looks 
contemplative.) Giving it some thought, | 
remember the 17th of January, 1997. Me and 
John were playing in Brum Woods, a, uh, park 
by where we grew up. It was between me and 
John, so we- 


Dr. Loyd: John? 


Baylesh: Oh yeah, sorry. John was a kid | 
spent a lot of time with when we were kids. | 
went by Joey back then. John DeNunzio! was 
his name, | think. 


An auxiliary staff enters the room, delivers 
several bottles of water, and exits. 


Baylesh: Anyways, we were just messing 
around, being dicks to some squirrels. It'd 
been cloudy for awhile, but it was otherwise a 
great day, that we just wanted to get out of the 
house. As we were talking, we got to the topic 
of school. A new kid had just started at class. | 
think her family moved from Slovakia or 
something. But John just started going on and 
on and on about how much of a fuck she was, 
kinda being racist. That was just fuckin’ weird. 
I'd known John forever, and he was always 
nice to everyone. 


Dr. Loyd: Did you do anything about his, uh, 
ranting? 


Baylesh: Y-Yeah. | called him out on that shit. 
| mean, his mom was Polish. God, | don't know 
what happened, but what he said just got 
under my skin. After | yelled at him, we just 
sorta shut up and went our separate ways. 


Dr. Loyd: Did anything else of note happen? 


Baylesh: (Subject sighs and is silent for 
several seconds.) Yeah. Lily found me. 


Dr. Loyd: Was she a friend of yours? 


Baylesh: Yeah, she was always a little weird. | 
think she was retarded or something. | say this 
because when she found me in the park, the 
first thing she did was get really close, like 
putting her hands on my shoulders, and asked 
me super seriously if | remembered her, and 
then just went on and on about some school 
project. Like, honestly, how could | forget Lily, 
she was always... (Subject is silent for several 


seconds.) Huh. | can't actually remember what 
she was like. 


Dr. Loyd: Can you at least recall what she 
looked like? 


Baylesh: Yeah, she had super blond hair, | 
think, and she- (Subject looks confused and 
remains silent for several seconds.) |-| can't 
remember her past what we were just talking. 
But that's not right, she was one of my best 
friends. Was she? | swear | know her, but I- 
(Subject puts their face in their hands.) 


Dr. Loyd: Please try to be calm. We'll have 
you transferred back to your cell shortly. 


<End Log> 


After several interviews, multiple common details could 
be found between all accounts of SCP-3002. These 
include the weather being cloudy but warm, an argument 
with the friend concerning a new child in school, and the 
presence of a female child with blond hair, most often 
described as Slovakian or Eastern European.

SCP-3003: The End of History 


Item #: SCP-3003 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Personnel with appropriate 
clearance may view Document 3003-NRK (attached) to access 
SCP-3003's containment directive and plans for future containment. 


Samples of SCP-3003-1 and -2 are kept at Biological Research 
Area-12, along with several other species from SCP-3003. 


SCP-3003-3 has agreed to designate one group, the Earth Contact 
and Research Committee, as the primary point of contact for the 
Foundation. SCP-3003-3 has further agreed only to operate portals 
to SCP-3003 at any of several Foundation-specified sites. In return, 
the Foundation has designated the SCP-3003 Working Group as 
SCP-3003-3's primary point of contact, and has agreed to make all 
efforts necessary to prepare Earth for the introduction of 
SCP-3003-1. No efforts to spread SCP-3003-1 are, in fact, being 
made. 


SCP-3003-3 must be made to believe that Earth is contaminated by 
an unknown agent that renders SCP-3003-1 sterile and Earth-native 
humans incapable of hosting SCP-3003-1. The introduction of the 
concept of deceit to SCP-3003-3 is forbidden, either directly or by 
deceiving a member of SCP-3003-3 under circumstances where the 
lie could be easily discovered. 


Mobile Task Force Samekh-7 is tasked with incorporation into 
SCP-3003-3-operated research projects in order to delay research, 
falsify information about Earth, and perform covert research into 
SCP-3003-4. Several members are _ additionally conducting 
anthropological research into SCP-3003-3. See MTF Samekh-7 
charter for further details. Members of SCP-3003-3 integrated into 
Foundation-operated research projects must be monitored closely 


and are not permitted to leave Foundation sites or access 
unauthorized depictions of human society. 


Protocols described in Preventing the Spread of Non-Anomalous 
Invasive Species During Interplanetary Contact, Third Edition must 
be followed by all parties when SCP-3003-4 is active. 


Disinformation protocols are set in place to propagate the belief 
among the scientific community that HIP 56948 has no planetary 
system. 


Description: SCP-3003 is an Earth-sized planet orbiting HIP 56948, 
a G-type main sequence star located 208 light years from Earth. 
Several anomalies of note are located on SCP-3003, and have been 
given appropriate sub-designations. 


* SCP-3003-1 is a beetle-like organism native to SCP-3003 that 
parasitizes humans when infected by SCP-3003-2. 

* SCP-3003-2 is an amoeba-like microorganism that infects 
humans and SCP-3003-1, affecting the behavior of both. 

* SCP-3003-3 is a technologically advanced civilization on 
SCP-3003, composed of SCP-3003's entire native population 
of thirty billion humans. All are parasitized by SCP-3003-1. 

* SCP-3003-4 is a device that enables the creation of a 
traversable portal between SCP-3003 and Earth. 


The components of SCP-3003 are described in further detail below. 


SCP-3003 is 3% heavier than Earth, has a rotational period of 30 
hours, and orbits HIP 56948 at a distance of 0.9 AU. The range of 
temperatures on the surface is comparable to that of earth, with the 
majority of the planet's landmass (comprising 40% of the total 
surface area) supporting extensive habitation by SCP-3003-1 and 
-3. Most of the remainder of SCP-3003's surface has been altered to 
support SCP-3003-1 and -3, either directly or indirectly. 


SCP-3003 has a biosphere that is biochemically compatible with that 
of Earth, though no known organisms other than humans are native 
to both planets. Almost all biological processes found on Earth are 
also found on SCP-3003, and vice versa. Genetic analysis of life 


from SCP-3003 suggests the presence of a single ancestor roughly 
3.1 billion years ago, with subsequent life (including humans) 
evolving naturally. This is suspected, but not confirmed, to be the 
result of some anomalous property of SCP-3003 itself. Most species 
native to SCP-3003 that were not conducive to the spread of 
SCP-3003-1 were eliminated by SCP-3003-3 within the past several 
centuries. 


The risk of introducing invasive species from one environment to the 
other is addressed by current containment procedures. This has 
thus far been averted for macroorganisms; the presence of invasive 
microorganisms has not been discounted. 


Anomalous phenomena apart from those discussed in_ this 
document have not been discovered on SCP-3003. SCP-3003-3's 
ruling committee has denied all knowledge of anomalous 
phenomena. 


For detailed biological and anatomical information regarding 
SCP-3003-1, consult Document 3003-1-A0 through D-11. 


SCP-3003-1, referred to as "Marce" by SCP-3003-3, share several 
notable characteristics with beetles: a bilateral body plan, a chitinous 
exoskeleton, six legs, wings, and a hardened carapace. Adult 
specimens range from 2-3cm in length. SCP-3003-1 are capable of 
secreting a protein fiber similar to spider silk, referred to as "silkate", 
from an orifice on their abdomens, as well as create a caustic fluid 
that coats their bodies as a defensive mechanism. 


Under natural conditions, SCP-3003-1 gather in swarms of about 
one thousand individuals that spend the majority of their lives 
airborne, feeding on the seed-analogues of various tall sessile 
organisms. Sexual reproduction is carried out mid-air, with the 
swarm's offspring carried in a large pouch-like object by several 
members until maturity. In the wild, SCP-3003-1's lifespan is about 
15 years. 


Infection by SCP-3003-2 drastically alters SCP-3003-1's behavior. 
Affected specimens cease to behave eusocially and develop a 3cm- 
long pointed stinger on the head. After nightfall, SCP-3003-1 will 


Test subject expired due to ventricular fibrillation minutes after 
secondary power failed. Autopsy revealed abnormally high 
adrenaline levels in subject’s bloodstream. 


Authorization to upgrade SCP-362 to Euclid class pending. 


Interview Log for Experiment 362- 
Interviewer: Dr. with Dr. 

Test Subject: D-1022 

Time: 5 minutes 


[DATA EXPUNGED] 
Dr. |: Please describe your surroundings. 


D-1022: | don’t know. It’s like an office, | guess? Papers. 
Notepads. There’s a box in front of me. 


Dr. : Is anyone in the room with you? 


D-1022 [chuckling]: | thought you were watching me. 
Y'know, through cameras. 


Dr. : Weare. Is there anyone in the room with you? 


D-1022: Is there supposed to be? Ain’t no one in here 
but me. 


Dr. _: Thank you. Please use the key provided to open 
the box in front of you, then put on what you find inside. 


D-1022 [after brief silence]: What, it’s just a shirt. 
[Louder:] Oh hell yeah, “[REDACTED]?” Ah man | used 
to watch that show all the time. 


Dr. _: Please put it on. 
D-1022: Sure thing. Haha, can | keep it? 
Dr. [with some amusement]: I’m afraid not. 


D-1022: Show was the shit. 


search for humans and, using this stinger, inject the subject with a 
powerful paralytic agent that diminishes the strength of muscle 
contraction. SCP-3003-2 is also injected during this time, with its 
neurological effects taking place within seven minutes. 


Over the course of three minutes, the SCP-3003-1 will secrete a 
caustic fluid from their stinger that allows for the creation of a hole in 
the host's body slightly larger than the specimen; SCP-3003-1 will 
then enter this cavity and seal it shut on all sides with silkate. 
SCP-3003-1 absorb nutrients and expel waste and SCP-3003-2 via 
the silkate barrier, which interfaces with the bloodstreams of both 
the specimen and the host. Lifespan in this state is about three 
years, provided that the host is in good health. 


SCP-3003-1 occupies about 30% of SCP-3003's landmass, 
primarily in a number of "reservations" established across the planet 
by SCP-3003-3. These reservations contain artificial ecosystems 
devoid of SCP-3003-1's natural predators and containing plentiful 
food, as well as other species introduced to keep the ecosystem in 
balance. 


SCP-3003-2 is a eukaryotic single-celled organism native to 
SCP-3003. Several nearby evolutionary relatives have been 
identified; these species parasitize SCP-3003-1 and other related 
organisms, causing behavioral and physiological changes. None 
exhibit anomalous properties. SCP-3003-2's ancestor was most 
likely a similar organism. 


SCP-3003-2 spreads to SCP-3003-1 by physical contact and to 
humans by introduction to the bloodstream. In humans, SCP-3003-2 
will colonize the nervous tissue of the frontal, parietal, and temporal 
lobes, transforming into neuron-like cells that form functional neural 
pathways. In this state, SCP-3003-2 cells do not reproduce. The 
primary effects of SCP-3003-2 infection are: 


¢ Development of an obsession with the well-being and spread 
of SCP-3003-1. Subjects infected with SCP-3003-2 will 
primarily pursue activities that they believe will benefit 
SCP-3003-1. Other concerns, such as morality and self- 
preservation, are only preserved if and when they are 


functional for this purpose. Pleasurable activities are pursued 
when the subject cannot identify a course of action that 
benefits SCP-3003-1. Subjects value both the immediate 
propagation of SCP-3003-1 and the long-term survival of the 
species. 

* Development of a pleasure response to stimuli pertaining to 
SCP-3003-1. Infected subjects have responded positively to 
visual, olfactory, auditory, and tactile stimulation reminiscent 
of SCP-3003-1 or the growths characteristic of their parasitic 
form. Classical conditioning is, to a limited extent, capable of 
transferring these feelings to other stimuli.
