Addendum: It has been requested that SCP-2042 is allowed to 
perform at Site- . It has gained quite a reputation amongst 
researchers preceding containment, and as such would greatly 
boost the morale. Approval is pending.

SCP-2043: REMEMBER ME 


Item #: SCP-2043 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2043 is contained in 
standard humanoid containment chamber. Subject is to be 
monitored and recorded at all times by two or more individuals and/ 
or video recorders. In the event of a containment breach, personnel 
who come into contact with SCP-2043 are advised to maintain eye 
contact with subject until fully contained. 


Due to subject's inability to communicate and tendency to wander, 
personnel are to consistently monitor Site-3399 for additional 
instances of SCP-2043. Use of nonlethal force is authorized if 
practicable. Containment teams are to consist of no more than two 
individuals per unit. 


Description: SCP-2043 is a 19 year old Caucasian female bearing 
resemblance to a former missing person Ariella (Note: See 
section 19-A3). When an individual observing the subject looks 
away,! SCP-2043 will create physical duplicates of themselves 
within the individual's line of sight. Each new instance will 
additionally begin to duplicate in turn at a rate of 20-30 seconds per 
duplication. 


Duplicate instances of SCP-2043 are physically and genetically 
identical to the original. The effect is increased exponentially with 
the addition of more viewers, although a fixed number (minimum 2) 
of viewers can minimize chances of duplication by maintaining 
overlapping lines of sight. 


SCP-2043 is generally unresponsive to external stimuli, remaining 
nonresponsive to all attempts at communication as well as most 
attempts at physical contact. SCP-2043's awareness of physical 
contact appears to be uniform amongst all duplicated instances, 


which may result in mass panic among SCP-2043 instances, and 
the potential for uncontrolled duplication depending on SCP-2043 
instances' mobility. Attempts at teaching SCP-2043 to communicate 
via touch have yielded little success. 


Note 19-A3: Ariella went missing from [REDACTED] on 7/ /19 
at age 7 before being discovered ten years later in the cellar of a 
neighbor. Further details are unavailable due to an ongoing 
investigation. 


SCP-2043 was discovered nine years following the disappearance 
70 km away, when police were called by an individual who claimed 
to have discovered Ariella in her cellar. It is unknown if 
SCP-2043's effects were evident to the individual. The presence of 
multiple officers triggered the apparition of several hundred 
instances of SCP-2043, which led to an incident in which shots were 
fired and multiple instances of SCP-2043 were killed. Foundation 
personnel were alerted to the situation 18 hours later, necessitating 
a temporary quarantine of the town of [REDACTED] and mass- 
administration of Class-B Amnestics to affected individuals ( , ). 


Following this event and a thorough investigation, it was noted that 
SCP-2043 bore a strong resemblance to age-progressed 
photographs of Ariella =. A potential link to the disappearance led 
to a renewed investigation leading to the individual's recovery. A 
separate parallel investigation by Foundation agents embedded in 
[REDACTED] found that Ariella had had no knowledge of 
SCP-2043 nor the individual responsible for discovering SCP-2043. 
Ms. was also noted to look substantially different from her age- 
progressed photo. Further details are classified pending an ongoing 
investigation. 


Addendum: Following a recurrence of SCP-2043 apparitions have 
been reported in the town of [REDACTED], it was discovered that of 
the individuals exposed to SCP-2043, % have retained memory of 
SCP-2043 and repeated administration of amnestics was found to 
be necessary to remove memory of SCP-2043. Due to risk of auto- 
immune and/or neurological disorder as a result of frequent use of 
high-level amnestics, a cover story has been released and the town 
placed under watch for recurrences. 


Residents of the town frequently hold conferences and rallies in 
support of SCP-2043, forming a group called "Remember Ari", 
calling for renewed efforts to locate Ariella —_. Informing unaware 
residents of Ms. _'s successful recovery has been largely 
unsuccessful, as residents quickly return to campaigns and 
foundations for "Remember Ari". Various stories have been offered 
by residents to explain this apparent discrepancy, including claims 
that Ariella—_'s sister simultaneously disappeared, or else referring 
to SCP-2043 as "another Ari" or "the other Ari". 


Addendum 2: As of / /2014, Ariella and her mother have been 
confirmed as members of "Remember Ari". 


Addendum 3: On / /2014, the bodies of two identical twin boys 
were discovered in [REDACTED] (approximately 700 meters from 
the recovery site of SCP-2043), bearing gunshot wounds at close 
range. Discovered on the scene was a missing person's poster for a 
child Lee , containing an age-progressed photo depicting Lee 
as a teenager. As with SCP-2043, both deceased individuals bore a 
strong resemblance to the age-progressed photo. While Lee 

has yet to be found, a potential link to SCP-2043 cannot be 
conclusively established.

amphibians, and video recording devices trigger this effect as well

SCP-2044: Big Wigs 


Item #: SCP-2044 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2044-1 is contained ina 
standard humanoid containment cell, modified to include a small 
duct to allow for the entry of house flies. SCP-2044-1 has been 
conditioned against scratching its scalp, laying on its back, rapidly 
moving its head, taking aggressive action against house flies in its 
cell or any other activities which may disrupt SCP-2044-2’s 
community. Personnel are to discipline SCP-2044-1 if any of the 
above listed activities are performed. For a full list of prohibited 
actions, see Addendum-2044-D. 


Following Incident-2044-B, SCP-2044-1 is to be kept in Site-34’s 
ICU to be provided with medical care in its comatose state. Subject's 
head is to be kept upright at all times, by means of a padded brace 
locked around the neck. A high-definition c-mount microscope 
camera has been installed directly above the scalp of SCP-2044-1, 
providing a live video feed of SCP-2044-2 for research staff. 


As is standard protocol when dealing with parasitic SCPs, a hazmat 
suit of Level 2 or higher is to be worn when handling SCP-2044 to 
prevent potential spread of SCP-2044-2 to a separate host. 


Description: SCP-2044-1 is a 28-year-old human male of Estonian 
descent. SCP-2044-1’s scalp is host to a large colony of head lice 
(Pediculus humanus capitis) estimated to be composed of two 
hundred individual specimens, henceforth referred to as 
SCP-2044-2. SCP-2044-2 instances possess a level of intelligence 
estimated to be equal to that of the average human, and are capable 
of building simple structures, operating machinery, and 
communicating in the Polish language. SCP-2044-2's small size 
makes communication impossible without the use of specialized 
acoustic equipment. 


SCP-2044-2 has established a small community on SCP-2044-1’s 
scalp. This community is composed of 130 houses, two churches, a 
pub, six stores, and a town hall. These buildings are constructed by 
SCP-2044-2 using SCP-2044-1’s hair and dandruff. The only 
constructs not composed of materials native to the human scalp are 
a large factory complex on the outskirts of the community, and three 
track loaders. The purpose of these non-organic elements seems to 
be the gathering and refinement of SCP-2044-1’s dandruff into small 
bricks. 


These bricks are taken at the end of every month by a house fly 
(Musca domestica) which arrives on SCP-2044-1’s scalp, where 
SCP-2044-2 then loads the refined dandruff onto a metal harness 
installed in its exoskeleton. These house flies also deliver 
manufactured goods to SCP-2044-2, all of which are scaled down 
for their use. These supplies include spare parts meant to repair 
equipment within the dandruff refinery, small tin cans filled with 
keratinous materials and fragments of potatoes, and gear which is 
sold by SCP-2044-2 in its several stores. The house fly will then 
depart to an unknown location. Attempts to locate the origin of these 
house flies have been unsuccessful, as have attempts to track 
outgoing instances. 


When questioned on the origin of the house fly, the supplies it 
brings, the destination of the dandruff bricks, and how the miniature 
factory complex came to be on SCP-2044-1's scalp, the majority of 
SCP-2044-2 instances state that “it's handled by the ‘big wigs'.” 
SCP-2044-2 refuse to elaborate further on this topic, stating that it 
would violate “company policy.” A transcript of an interview with an 
instance of SCP-2044-2 is available below. 


SCP-2044-1 claims no knowledge of SCP-2044-2’s existence, and 
currently believes he is being held in Foundation custody for the 
crime of grand theft auto. Please refer to Incident-2044-B for 
SCP-2044-1's current condition. 


+Transcript of Interview 2044-A 


Interviewed: SCP-2044-2-104 "Bogustaw 
Jasinski" 
Interviewer: Dr. Stangar 


Foreword: SCP-2044-2-104 claims to be the 
"foreman" of the factory present on 
SCP-2044-1's scalp. This interview was 
conducted using an experimental two-way 
communication system developed by 
Foundation scientist for communication with 
nanoscopic entities. This was the sixth 
exchange between Dr. Stagnar and 
SCP-2044-2-104. Exchange translated from 
Polish. 

<Log Begin> 

Dr. Stangar : "Hello, Bogustaw? Can you hear 
me?" 

SCP-2044-2-104 : "Ah! Hello big mammal!" | 
didn't think we would speak again this soon!" 
Dr. Stangar : "Yes, now may we return to our 
previous topic of your refinery?" 
SCP-2044-2-104 : "You're breaking my nits 
with these incessant questions, you bekart! If 
the big wigs hear that I've been engaging in 
corporate espionage-" 

Dr. Stangar : "Bogustaw, I'm trying to help 
you. This conversation will stay between the 
two of us. | swear." 

SCP-2044-2-104 : "Fine, but you had better 
not use my name.” 

Dr. Stangar : "Of course. Now, can you tell me 
who exactly are these 'big wigs'?" 
SCP-2044-2-104 : They're the top of the food 
chain. They run our entire operation out of 
their ivory tower in Nowy Gaszcz,? to the 
east." 

Dr. Stangar : "What is the purpose of this 
company?" 

SCP-2044-2-104 : "Providing building 
materials to all major urban centers across the 
globe. We just recently provided those termites 
in Vrotak3 with some foundation for their 
newest mound. Those bekart in 
Megachilekutha‘4 thought they could sell them 


their crappy honeycomb supports, but we beat 
them to the punch!" 


Dr. Stangar : "..... | see. Would you care to 
elaborate on the factory? How did it get 
there?" 


SCP-2044-2-104 : "A bunch of big mammals 
like you came in and installed it six years back. 
Funny thing is that they were all wearing those 
white robes like you got on. | don't know how 
they got it on here, but I'm just proud to be in 
charge of this big mammal instead of my last 
one." 

Dr. Stangar : "What do you mean by last one? 
Who else has a facto-" 

SCP-2044-2-104 : (SCP-2044-2-104 emits a 
two-second-long, high-pitched noise, assumed 
to be the equivalent of a sigh) 
SCP-2044-2-104 : "You know what, I'm in 
enough shit with the big wigs as it is with all 
these delays in production. Last thing | need is 
to be caught talking to a fucking big mammal!" 
SCP-2044-2-104 rapidly retreats into the 
refinery, shutting the entrance behind it. 

<End Log> 

This interview has revealed some startling 
implications. Not only does it suggest the 
existence of individuals similar to SCP-2044-1, 
it also makes reference to insects with a level 
of intelligence similar to SCP-2044-2. | 
recommend that we locate and contain these 
"urban centers" mentioned by 
SCP-2044-2-104 as soon as possible or at 
least investigate who these ‘big wigs' are and 
why they built this factory. - Dr. Stangar. 


+Incident-2044-B 


The following is a transcript detailing the 
events which occurred on 9/16/ which led to 
SCP-2044-1's current condition. 


<9:39> SCP-2044-1 sits upright on its bed, 
resting its head on its hand. Subject appears 
to be distraught. 

<9:40> SCP-2044-1 gets up and begins 
frantically clawing at its scalp. Such behavior 
had not been documented during 
SCP-2044-1's containment at Site-34. Security 
teams are mobilized to restrain the subject to 
prevent potential damage to SCP-2044-2. 
<9:42> SCP-2044-1 props his bed frame 
against his cell door, preventing site security 
from entering. Subject then returns to 
scratching its scalp aggressively. 

<9:46> SCP-2044-1 (translated from 
Estonian): "No! |'m done! | want it off! The big 
wigs can take it back! It's not worth it! It's not 
fucking worth it! Get out! Get out! | don't care 
how much they'll give me! | want to go home! 
Let me go home you bastards! | want them all 
offl". 

<9:48> A small explosive device detonates at 
the base of SCP-2044-1's neck. The explosion 
causes traumatic damage to the subjects 
spinal column, causing SCP-2044-1 to enter a 
comatose state and collapse. 

<9:50> Foundation security teams manage to 
breach SCP-2044-1's cell. Medical teams are 
mobilized and SCP-2044-1 is evacuated to 
Site-34's ICU. 


The explosion caused traumatic damage to 
SCP-2044-1, sending it into a comatose state. 
When questioned, SCP-2044-2 admitted to 
detonating the explosion as a "last resort" to 
pacify their host. Before Incident-2044-B, it 
was believed that SCP-2044-1 was oblivious 
to the existence of SCP-2044-2. Investigation 
into both the subject's final statements and 
how an explosive implant was present on 


SCP-2044-1 without being detected by 
Foundation security is ongoing.

SCP-2045: Ambulatory Molasses Generator 


Item #: SCP-2045 
Object Class: Safe Euclid Keter Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2045 is to be continuously 
covered with a dummy tractor to maintain the appearance of 
normality. Any civilians who come into contact with SCP-2045 are to 
be amnesticized. All debris left by SCP-2045 is to be cleared away 
by Foundation assets. Methods to contain SCP-2045 are currently 
being considered. 


SCP-2045 is to be contained within a standard humanoid-class 
containment cell, with a calendar on the wall indicating the days of 
the week, and an empty two-liter bucket. Every Tuesday, SCP-2045 
fills the bucket with blackstrap molasses; when the bucket is filled, 
one class-3 operative is to enter SCP-2045's containment, approach 
SCP-2045, and speak the phrase "that's enough molasses, Jeffrey. 
Thank you." Personnel are then to remove the filled bucket, and 
replace it with a fresh bucket. 


Contingent on SCP-2045's good behavior, and at their own 
discretion, personnel may then kiss SCP-2045 on its forehead. 


Due to the difficulties resulting from SCP-2045's apparent inability to 
comprehend that it now has an SCP designation rather than a 
name, personnel are authorized to address SCP-2045 as "Jeffrey". 


SCP-2045 is never to be contained at a site that is within 200 
kilometers from the present containment location of SCP-3872. 


Description: SCP-2045 is a sapient humanoid automaton which
