Though first reported in 1773, SCP-2633-1, -2, and -3 were first 
confirmably discovered on Ascension Island? in 1815, several weeks 
after the first British settlers arrived there’. Said settlers captured 
and made recreational use of the instances for several years before 
they were taken by Governor Mark Wilks4 in 1818, and presented as 
a gift to King George III, who maintained possession until his death 
in 1820. 


The instances changed hands several times over the next 191 years 
(notably making it as far as Istanbul, Mumbai, and Khanbaliq) before 
being obtained by Marshal, Carter, and Dark, Ltd.. Objects were 
finally contained by Foundation personnel following a 2011 raid ona 
MC&D warehouse by Mobile Task Force Mu-3 (“Highest Bidders’), 
along with several other objects. Instances were relocated to 

Area-12 to join SCP-2633-4 in containment. 


SCP-2633-4 was first discovered in 1997, though is believed to be 
responsible for a number of reports of delusions and erratic behavior 
among allied soldiers stationed on Ascension Island during World 
War Il. Though not in Foundation possession at the time, 
SCP-2633-1, -2, and -3 were known to the Foundation, anda 
containment team was dispatched from Key Largo to retrieve 
SCP-2633-4 due to its similarities to prior instances. SCP-2633-4 
was not properly stored for the return voyage, and the entities 
psychoactive effects resulted in the plane crashing into the ocean 
approximately 900 kilometers north of Hispaniola, causing the 
deaths of 8 personnel and the loss of SCP-2633-4. 


SCP-2633-4 (or an entity with an identical anomalous properties) 
was rediscovered by civilians in 2002, on a public beach in Miami, 
Florida, causing an episode of mass delusions®. Local authorities 
were called in to handle the incident, while Foundation personnel 
were mobilized to contain SCP-2633-4. SCP-2633-4 was contained 
at Site-63 for the next 8 years, until it was transferred to the 


parazoology department at Area-12 in 2010. 


SCP-2633-5 is the most recent instance, found on Ascension Island 
on 11/11/2016. The instance was kept as a pet by a local family for 
three months, before a social media post featuring the instance was 
flagged by Foundation detection algorithms. SCP-2633-5 was then 
apprehended by a containment team, and the family was treated 
with Class-B amnestics. 


Based on documents recovered during the aforementioned MC&D 
warehouse raid (see below), it is currently believed that the first 
three SCP-2633 instances were created as an attempt by the British 
East India Company to create a method to efficiently and 
surreptitiously transport large quantities of narcotics into China. The 
methods used for this purpose are not yet known, though an 
enhanced breeding and genetic alteration program has been 
authorized to attempt to replicate SCP-2633’s anomalous properties 
using both SCP-2633 instances and non-anomalous stock of J. 
lagostoma. This project will be overseen by Dr. Hendricks. 


Below is a transcription of Document-2633-2, obtained with Marshal, 
Carter, and Dark documentation of SCP-2633. 


Warren, 


As you are aware, my Providence was tasked with 
carrying the experiments back to Calcutta. | am afraid | 
must report that | am unable to abide their presence on 
my ship. The native you had me purchase them from has 
warned me of the creatures’ potency, but | had not 
understood his meaning. Six times now my men have 
absconded with the beasts, and their foul fumes are 
inhibiting any work being done aboard. Because of this, | 
must confess that | have thrown the animals into the sea, 
much to the chagrin of my men. 


| hope the company will not be too put off by my 
transgression, | do not believe the creatures were worth 
what | daresay was a sizeable price, nor would they have 
gotten past the Chinese. The port authorities know their 
crabs, and can smell the poppy a mile off. Perhaps 


something larger and more amicable? Dogs, perhaps? 


We will be making port in Abidjan, where | hope to send 
this missive to you, to pick up the shipment of ivory, and 
then we sail to Bengal, where hopefully we can speak of 
this further. 


Yours as always, Rudolph. 


The above letter is believed to have been written in 1773 to Warren 
Hastings, a member of the East India Company’s governing council 
by Captain Rudolph Brooks, a seaman under the employ of the EIC, 
often charged with moving cargo of an anomalous manner. It should 
be noted that over a period of approximately 20 years (1840-1860) 
numerous reports were made of British vessels carrying “poppy 
hounds”. Whether these animals represent continued efforts on the 
part of the East India Company to continue the experiments that 
yielded SCP-2633 is unknown at this time. Additionally, research is 
currently underway to determine the identity of the "native" 
mentioned by Captain Brooks in the above letter. 


SCP-2633-4 and -5 are currently theorized to be offspring of 
SCP-2633-2 (the only female of the group) and one or both of the 
other two original instances (or possibly non-anomalous J. 
lagostoma). How SCP-2633-4 and 5’s products were determined is 
still a matter of much speculation. 


Addendum: Results of SCP-2633 breeding program, updated 
1/23/2017. 


SCP-2633 instances have thus far refused to interbreed, though two 
broods of anomalous offspring have been produced as follows: A 
cross of SCP-2633-3 with a non-anomalous female crab has yielded 
an entire brood (approximately 100,000 individuals) whose blood 
and bodily fluids contain dimethyltryptamine in very high 
concentrations. 60 female larvae were allowed to mature, and are 
currently being kept in containment at Area-12, the rest were 
flashfrozen and are kept in refrigerated storage below Site-83. 
Additionally, a recent brood resulting from a cross of SCP-2633-4 
and a non-anomalous female crab has yielded an additional 
approximate 100,000 larvae, roughly 3% of which have 


shaft. They extend into the ground for several feet before light 
simply ceases to penetrate and it enters into darkness. 


Initial attempts to investigate followed standard procedure using 
Class D personnel. Each maintained contact for a few moments 
before failing to report back. After several personnel were lost in this 
manner, robotic surveillance was initiated, and revealed the 
presence of an amphitheater-type structure, around which were 
seated fifty-six (56) figures of similar appearance. Each was roughly 
humanoid and made of a substance similar at first glance to ice. 
Thermal scans indicated a variety of temperatures, varying from 
figure to figure, and most did not conform to temperatures low 
enough to support solidification of water. 


Surveillance also discovered the remains of the Class D personnel. 
The deceased exhibited the following characteristics: 


Personnel A: A was found beside a figure, with cylindrical wounds 
extending through her skull - one each surrounding the previous 
location of each eye socket; one passing laterally through the skull 
and excising the ears and all associated organs; one excising the 
nose; one excising the mouth. Subject's skin had also been 
removed whole and rested beside the corpse, along with the 
cylinders of bone, flesh and viscera that have been removed from 
her skull, which rested atop the skin. Wounds confirmed to match 
those inflicted by Euclid Class SCP-__, confirmed to have been 
present at ACS-03 during initial installation's annihilation. 


Personnel B: B was found collapsed on the ground beside a 
second figure with what initially appeared to be total destruction of 
his skeletal system. Autopsy later revealed the complete liquefaction 
of all interior bodily systems. Damage confirmed to match those 
inflicted by Euclid Class SCP-__, also confirmed to have been 
present at ACS-03 during enactment of Emergency Protocol XT- 


Personnel C-G: Personnel C through G were found beside a third 
figure. All five personnel occupied roughly the same space at 
different angles. Still technically collectively alive, the resulting 
recombinant creature was quite obviously both insane and 
irreparably crippled and was later terminated on-site. Analysis of 
records pertaining to Keter Class SCP- indicated conformity to 


exoskeletons largely composed of crystalline N- 
methylamphetamine. 2000 larvae are being allowed to mature to 
assess potential further anomalous properties, and the remaining 
~98,000 were frozen and stored below Site-83.

SCP-2634: A Higher Power 


Item #: SCP-2634 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2634 cannot be contained 
due to limitations of three-dimensional perception and tangibility. 


Any objects obtained from SCP-2634 are to be kept in standard 
secure storage lockers when not being used for research. 


Description: SCP-2634 is a sentient, likely telepathic entity that 
natively exists in six-dimensional space. 


SCP-2634 first came to Foundation attention on October 13, 2013, 
when it made itself known to Doctor Mabry, a Senior Researcher 
stationed at Site-63. For Doctor Mabry’s full account of the event, 
see below.

<Begin Recording> 


This is, uh, this is Doctor Jonathan Mabry, at... 
1:30 PM October Fourteenth. | have been 
asked to provide a verbal record of my 
experiences last night. Let me preface this by 
saying that | am neither a physicist nor a 
linguist, and | apologize. 


| was sitting in my office finishing up 
paperwork, and then out of nowhere | hear 
someone say the word “prepare”. Well it didn’t 
exactly say it | guess, but it thought it. Or / 
thought it? | think it thought it with my 
thoughts. It doesn’t matter, | suppose. Anyway, 


the next thing that | can recall is being pulled... 
through myself? And then... no, not really 
then, per se. 


You'll have to bear with me here. I’m going to 
try to relay my experiences in a way that 
seems chronologically logical, but you have to 
understand that from my perspective all of 
these events happened at the same moment. 
Or rather, every moment was the same 
moment, and each event was also every other 
event. | digress. 


Anyway, then | was somewhere else, and | 
could see it. It looked like, how do | put this, 
like a sphere within a sheet that had been 
stretched out of itself. It shone a brilliant 
metallic orange. It was beautiful. And it spoke 
to me again, it said “Tathagata” and | knew 
that that was its name. Or at least what | 
should think of it as. 


It then occurred to me to be scared. | 
frantically looked around trying to figure out 
where | was, and that’s when | realized: | 
hadn’t even left my office. | think that’s when | 
started putting the situation together. This 
thing, whatever it was, had pulled me into a 
separate spatial dimension. | still saw my 
office, but | could see into it. | saw a depth to 
everything that had always been hiding there. 


Now my understanding of hyperspacial 
geometry is rusty at best, but some part of me 
felt qualified to make assumptions, and | think | 
must have asked (or thought?) something 
stupid like “Is this the fourth dimension?”, and, 
| swear to god, this thing without a head or 
neck nodded. And then it tugged me in another 
direction, and said “Fifth”. 


Christ. | understand how hard this must be to 
conceptualize for someone who hasn’t seen it; 
hell, | have seen it and | can barely make 
sense of it. The fifth dimension, as | suppose 
that’s what | was seeing. We were still in the 
office, but | only knew that because | could see 
an object in front of me that was the same 
color as my cactus. It didn’t look like a cactus, 
mind you, more like... like a set of concentric 
cylinders covered in very sharp prisms. We sat 
there for what seemed like an hour, as | just 
took in the world around me, and as Tathagata 
seemed to observe my reactions. 


Again it occurred to me that | had barely 
stopped to question my situation, so 
enraptured was | by the things before me. | 
again addressed my visitor and | thought to it 
something that was somewhere between 
“how” and “why”, and to me it responded “All in 
time. Come. There is more”. Then, just as 
suddenly as the last time, it brought me further 
down its rabbit hole. 


Doctor Mabry pauses for 2 minutes 43 
seconds. 


You'll have to forgive me. | do truly wish that | 
could describe for you just what it is like to 
comprehend six dimensions in space, but 
anything | could say simply falls short. There 
are no words in any language on earth that 
can convey anything about my experience in 
6D space. Suffice to say it was beautiful. 


My guide again addressed me, projecting into 
my mind the word “here”. As | took in the view, 
| noticed that we were surrounded by other 
creatures like Tathagata. Some were shiny 
orange like it was, others were deep indigos 
and neon green. Some were colors that | had 


never seen before. They seemed welcoming, 
in their own way. 


Tathagata then projected the word “Home?” into 
my head. We lingered there for a while, and | 
was enraptured by the movements of these 
beings. Sometimes they would flutter like flags 
in the wind, other times crashing into each 
other like colliding bullets. They chased each 
other like schools of fish though folds in space. 
More often than not they moved about in ways 
I’m not sure | fully understood. 


Next | heard echoes of my own thoughts. 
“Why” and “beautiful” and “more”, like 
memories of memories. And | understood. 


These things, whatever they were and 
however they were shaped, existed naturally 
on a conceptual level that allowed them to 
move through six dimensions, but they were 
not naturally able to go further. Life in seven 
dimensions and beyond was as impossible for 
them as life in six is for us. | think that’s why 
they reach out to us. They think we might be 
able to help them break through into a 
seventh, so that they can experience the same 
awe. They believe in us. 


After some time -maybe minutes, maybe 
hours- Tathagata brought me back. | watched 
objects fold back out of themselves as | was 
brought down from six to five to four and finally 
back home to three. It then said to me “Tell 
them”. And then it was gone, as suddenly as it 
appeared. 


| glanced at the clock. The whole ordeal had 
lasted seconds. | spent the next several hours 
in the fourth floor restroom vomiting, before | 
managed to shamble my way into Director 


Aram’s office and relay what had happened. 


And that’s my story. | have petitioned Director 
Aram to enact a program onsite with the 
express purpose of aiding Tathagata and the 
other beings in their endeavor. | hope we can 
help.

A department of tesseractic geometry has been established at 
Site-63 in order to determine a method of further interaction with 
SCP-2634 and others of its kind.
