Several tubes of generic moisturizing lotion with tigecyclin 
sulfate supplements and vitamins evidently designed to 
rapidly heal and disinfect self-inflicted scratch damage related 
to a disease known as "sarcoplasmosis". Phrasing on the 
label suggests this is the most effective treatment for 
"sarcoplasmosis" yet developed, and mentions that it is safe 
for "emergency application directly onto optical and genital 
membranes." The vocabulary and level of detail in the 
instructions on the tube suggest it is meant to be applied to 
the patient by a friend without medical training, likely in a non- 
medical facility with many other individuals with the same 
affliction.

Footnotes 

1. This is based on observations of SCP-2780 that include 
recordings of her frequent comments on the Foundation and its 
inefficacious handling of the containment effort, as well as several 
epithets of a personal and often sexual nature 

2. Ms. Tucker's ability to describe the event was somewhat limited; 
Ms. Fulvia herself was not well acquainted with even recent 
American history and her perspective was somewhat biased, 
judging from some of the logical inconsistencies in the story 

3. Tigecycline is presently (as of 2016) only available in intravenous 
form; a market for its production as topical cream implies that 
ordinary surface and environmental bacteria in 2090 has unusually 
great resistance to antibiotics.

SCP-2781: Bodhisattva of the High Seas 


NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND 
INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 


All versions (hardcopy and soft-copy) of the file 'SCP-2781' were 
recently vandalised by unidentified anomalous sources. Editor is 
logged under Foundation authorisation Zeta-61374-Omega- 
Alpha, corresponding to the late Agent Trip Kata (declared 
deceased on 01/08/1990). Vandalism corresponds to Foundation 
Standardised Editing Protocol for Hardcopy Documents (5th 
edition), whereby data slated for deletion are to be strikethrough 
and new data are written in blue. 


— Maria Jones, Director, RAISA 


Item #: SCP-2781 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-2781's widespread 
habitat, conventional containment is currently not possible. Mobile 
Task Force Zeta-66 ("Triangular Dragon") is assigned to verify all 
sightings of SCP-2781. Civilians who have encountered SCP-2781 
instances are to undergo amnestic treatment. All civilian vessels are 
to be diverted from all identified habitats of SCP-2781. 


Update (01/08/1983): Personnel are not to have direct contact with 
SCP-2781 instances or be underwater in presence of SCP-2781 
instances. 


SCP-2781-969 is contained in a Type XL humanoid containment cell 
at Site-2781. 


Description: SCP-2781 is a species of black marine entities of 
unverified taxonomy collective designation for 969 entities self- 


referred as 'bodhisattva! of the high seas’, with an estimated body 
length of five metres and two bulbous eyes. These entities also 
possess reality bending capabilities, although usage is rare for the 
Buddha cautioned against vain use of miracles. See Addendum 
2781-2 for one known usage of reality bending capabilities. 
SCP-2781 instances consistently reside on the epipelagic layer of 
the sea. 


SCP-2781 is speculated to be carnivorous, exclusively targeting 
targets live humans whose bodies are partially or fully submerged in 
water (hereon referred to as prey ‘target'). Conversely, SCP-2781 
uniformly avoids non-human animals, deceased humans and live 
humans not submerged in water. This is attributed to the Buddhist 
belief that humans are most likely to receive dharma effectively. 
Feeding is highly irregular; SCP-2781 instances can spend long 
durations (up to approximately 55 years) without consuming prey. 
SCP-2781 does not require any sustenance to maintain itself. 


SCP-2781 has an indeterminable number of tentacles of varying 
lengths and widths, usually folded into its body and can be unfolded 
for the purpose of capturing prey targets. When at least one tentacle 
is in direct contact with the prey target or their clothes, additional 
tentacles will envelop the prey target entirely. Envelopment will last 
for approximately two seconds, after which constriction ends and the 
prey target disappears. Usage of thermal imaging devices indicates 
that the prey target spontaneously disappears immediately after 
complete envelopment, whereas embedded GPS devices lose 
signal after the prey's target's disappearance. 


The target is thus transported to a dimension tentatively classified as 
SCP-2781-A. Based on first-person observation, SCP-2781-A is 
hypothesised to be a "pure land".2 To date, SCP-2781 is the only 
known means to access SCP-2781-A. Targets inside SCP-2781-A 
will gradually gain claircognizance regarding dharma teachings; 
SCP-2781-A or an entity which created SCP-2781-A are speculated 
to be possible sources. This is done with the intent of allowing 
targets attain Nirvana. After which, they may ascend to Buddhahood 
or willingly reject Buddhahood to become a bodhisattva. The former 
cannot be ascertained, whereas in the latter's case, targets will 
manifest in the world as an instance of SCP-2781. 


SCP-2781's existence has been known to the Foundation precursor 
‘Bureau of Onmy6d' since the Edo period (1603 — 1868 CE), 
whereby instances were sighted in water bodies surrounding Japan. 
In those sources, they were termed as 'umibozu' ("sea bonze") due 
to the head's superficial resemblance to that of the Buddhist monk 
a.k.a. bonze. The similarities between SCP-2781's self-designation 
and the popular term 'umibozu' are notable and can be used as an 
axiom for further research on SCP-2781. 


Foundation research efforts regarding SCP-2781 began shortly after 
the organisation's formation. Since then, additional instances have 
been identified across the East China Sea and Pacific Ocean. Areas 
with the highest SCP-2781 population density include the Kanmon 
Straits, with the earliest known sightings recorded during the 
Kamakura period (1185 — 1333 CE). 


To date, no SCP-2781 instance (live or deceased) has been placed 
under Foundation captivity. Additionally, the known SCP-2781 
population is in excess of 900. Method of reproduction or 
manifestation are currently unknown. SCP-2781 does not 
reproduce. Manifestation is a voluntary process (See paragraph 4 of 
Description). 


Addendum 2781-1: Following Agent Trip Kata's death entry into 
SCP-2781-A on 03/07/1983 whilst investigating SCP-2781-753 in 
the Kii Channel, Special Containment Procedures have been 
modified for safety reasons; see Update (01/08/1983). 


Addendum 2781-2: On 13/05/2014, all known SCP-2781 instances 
(up to SCP-2781-968) vanished simultaneously for ten minutes 
before re-manifesting in their previous positions. The process 
continued for five hours until the affected instances re-manifest at 
their previous positions and have become intangible via unknown 
means. 


Additionally, Site-2781 spontaneously manifested in the Kii Channel. 
It contains 969 Type XL humanoid containment cells. Currently, one 
SCP-2781 instance is contained in Site-2781 (SCP-2781-969) while 
translucent apparitions of the other SCP-2781 instances are held in 
their respective cells. Due to their intangibility, it is unknown if 
contact with those SCP-2781 instances can send targets to 


SCP-2781-A. 


They We are contained. Our The Foundation's suffering lessens. 
Contain. The Middle Way. Amitabha.

SCP-2782: The Flock 


Item #: SCP-2782 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The entrance and a perimeter 
of SCP-2782 are to be monitored at all times. Although SCP-2782 
has not yet proven itself to be outwardly hostile, the door to the room 
should be guarded by at least two armed personnel at all times. 


+ Supplement: Niwareka Research Facility 


Niwareka is the remains of a scientific compound located 
on Island, New Zealand. The area was originally used 
as a breeding ground for Kakapo. The facility was 
acquired by an unknown party and reproductive 
experiments were run on the birds; the goal of these 
experiments is not currently known. 


Materials recovered from the facility were SCP-2782, the 
remains of incubation equipment for rodents and parrots, 
as well as a hard drive containing writings believed to be 
relevant to the experiments. 


Records indicate testing was originally carried out on 

rodents, followed by kakapo, and ultimately humans; 

none of which have been recovered. Only one human 
subject was reported to have been produced from the 
experiment. 


An entrance to an expanse below the facility was 
discovered buried three meters under the building’s 
foundations, flooded and welded shut behind an iron 
hatch. The chamber was located 9 meters underneath 
the facility and contained SCP-2782. Imprints over the 
chamber door read “jedna devat osem d” (one nine eight 


warped man, the wendigo, and that we could leave with 
him like we all do when we pass. When | was made to 
kill, | thought of this and it calmed me. | didn't run. 


Mr. Namagoose closes his eyes and exhales slowly. 
After a minute, he resumes talking. 


Namagoose: It would look at me sometimes. | could 
hear him in my mind, | could feel him watching me from 
out of my own eyes. This helped me watch these people 
die, and | hoped it would pass on my family. 


Dr. : Thank you, Mr. Namagoose. 


Final Note: No mental effects similar to what Mr. Namagoose stated 
have yet to be reported by staff who have interacted with SCP-323 
or SCP-323-1. Further investigation into this is not planned; 
however, staff are encouraged to report any atypical thoughts or 
feelings experienced while working with either.

d). 


Description: SCP-2782 is the designation for the skeletal remains 
of 28 kakapo chicks discovered in a partially flooded chamber 
beneath the Niwareka research facility. Fractures and burns on the 
skeletons evince the objects were crushed with sudden blunt force 
and incinerated. The remains retain their original structure and 
physical composition despite damage. The skeletons are at times 
ambulatory and capable of vocalizations. 


SCP-2782-1 through SCP-2782-28 “reset” at 10:55 PM (NZST) to 
their original positions within the chamber even under circumstances 
where the objects are damaged or located elsewhere. SCP-2782 will 
move if their resting positions are obstructed. 


SCP-2782 are sentient and capable of altering matter within the 
chamber. SCP-2782 moved outside of the chamber are still capable 
of manipulating matter inside of the chamber. The objects have not 
been shown to be capable of altering anything outside of the 
perimeter of the chamber; there is no discernible material, failsafe, 
or external force that propagates this effect. 


SCP-2782 will commit to the act of completely consuming the flesh 
of incapacitated or otherwise deceased subjects within the chamber; 
matter is discarded immediately due to their lack of digestive 
systems. 


Entities consumed inside of the chamber will reappear inside of the 
chamber three days later. Discarded matter from previous "feedings 
remains and is not affected by resets of the SCP-2782 chamber. 


SCP-2782-X was the tentative designation for eight men who were 
subject to the effects of SCP-2782 from 1996 to present. The men 
themselves are anomalous by proxy of SCP-2782. Further 

information on the subjects can be found in the provided Addenda. 


Addendum A | Notes 


71 August 19 AD | Testing Subject is one of our 
Humanized PIGGY laboratory mice. | will call her Sarah. 
Sarah is generation eight, but results are finally visible. 


Sarah is extremely clever and appears to be self aware. | 
will keep Sarah as a personal pet for 6 months to see if 
the desired traits were visible. If they are then we were 
being led in the right direction. We celebrate Sarah. | will 
bury her. 


23 September 19 AD | Testing Subject is one PIGGY 
Syrian Hamster from batch K160 [PK1279923]. His 
influence is not quite apparent. Corners of the room were 
transformed into vague, fanged mouths which 
disappeared once the subject was in hiding. The objects 
appeared again when the subject peeked out from 
hiding, but over time disappeared. We picked this up on 
the security camera - the assistant and | were both 
hiding. We think the subject may have been spooked by 
shadows, what we saw may have been the idea of a 
predator. We need to remove fear from the PIGGYs. 


30 January 19 AD| Testing Subject was one Syrian 
Hamster-AH-32. His influence is clearly visible. Fear 
response was removed completely. Bold, but not stupid. 
Very preoccupied with food, as was desired. Made a 
mess of the proving grounds, but the stink of fish is 
sweet in this case. We will soon see if He is in the litter 
as well. 


15 April 19 AD | The required traits have been passed 
on successfully. | have saved one of the babies. | will 
name the wretched little thing Wormwood. The 
remainder of our PIGGYs from Phase One have been 
euthanised. | will release him into the wilderness as an 
offering of Humility. May he die fat and happy. Hallelujah! 


We have infiltrated their facility. We didn’t want to use 
the parrots but the isolation here and the already active 
breeding program is perfect for us. Chris is also 
respected by the administrator of the project, and we'll 
see about replacing him as well so things aren't so tricky. 
Many birds will be created for our experiments. The 
controls will be released to the proper authorities for the 


repopulation project. Our “cuckoos’ will be incinerated, 
something. 


15 February 19 | The birds are becoming dangerous. 
They dislike us. His abilities are apparent. Desired, but 
muddled. They are different from the hamsters in that 
they are not motivated by food, but rather sex. That’s the 
right track. 


This is great news for the conservationists, but currently 
it's not great news for us. Especially Daniel. Daniel is no 
longer with us. 


The Lord helps those who help themselves. That is the 
motto of our mission. 


| don’t know anything about science, or DNA for that 
matter. Chris and his colleagues handle all of that. I’m 
just a man who is faithful to his father and his mission, 
and | believe his mission is divine and blessed by the 
Lord. 


| believe a man walked the Earth almost two thousand 
years ago, but | also believe he was more than a man. | 
believe the Lord uses the laws within the confines of his 
own universe to perform his miracles, and | believe it is 
our duty to understand those laws. 


While | may seem biased as Ezekiel’s son, I’ve seen the 
results of his early experiments. The Lord worked 
through my father and provided for him. He has a 
machine that can transmute water, and I’ve seen him 
use a Salve that cured a man’s blindness. That’s enough 
for me. 


But my father seems unhappy, even though he and he 
alone performs this Science. Even his colleagues don’t 
completely understand his works. We think maybe he’s 
going senile... 


Or maybe he doesn’t have what he wants? He wouldn’t 
admit to that. | worry sometimes he wants the Begotten 
for himself. His own son. | sin just thinking this. 


| take solace in that when the Lord returns, my worry will 
be put to rest. 


-Daniel
