Dr. Ortega requested an interview over loudspeaker. In four 
minutes, the SCP-1582 combines the appropriate parts to form an 
assembly capable of soeech. SCP-1582-1 Tongue, SCP-1582-1 
Eye 1, SCP-1582-1 Eye 2, SCP-1582-1 Trachea, SCP-1582-1 
Larynx, SCP-1582-1 Pharynx, and SCP-1582-1 Ear 1 arrive at the 
interview table. 


Dr. Ortega: Where is the brain? 


SCP-1582: The brain? My brain you mean instead? It 
needs to be here? 


Dr. Ortega: Well, no. Can you answer a few questions 
for us? 


SCP-1582: Yes. 
Dr. Ortega: How did you end up like this? 


SCP-1582: Walang stole important part. Has me 


cornered. Infiltrating my ranks, and stealing important 
part so that even if | found the woman part | could not 
have it. | need important part. 


Dr. Ortega: Pardon? 
SCP-1582: Yortj! 


Dr. Ortega: No, how did you become split into a colony 
of ants? 


SCP-1582: Yortj and mert! Only thing important! Get it 
back! 


The SCP-1582-1 eye and ear parts begin moving 
erratically around the table, each of them converging on 
the speech assemblage. 


SCP-1582: Walang, you coward snake! This will not go 
unpunished! 


SCP-1582 begins ripping its tongue, larynx, and pharynx 
apart. The remainder of SCP-1582-1 begins traveling 
back toward its nest. Interview ended. 


Addendum 1582-A: Unique instances of SCP-1582 itself were 
discovered at an isolated location in Western Australia, close to the 
proximity where the original SCP-1582 was discovered. Results of 
DNA testing reveal that the colonies have been warring for body 
parts since roughly 1790-1800. Due to the original costs of securing 
the original SCP-1582, the duplicate colonies were simply 
exterminated, although certain instances of SCP-1582-1, including a 
tongue drone, were salvaged at the request of SCP-1582 and 
agreement among those presiding over SCP-1582's containment. 


Addendum 1582-B: Female SCP-1582-1 instances were found in 
close proximity of those found previously. It appears that the female 
SCP-1582 colony was in possession of the original SCP-1582's 
testicles, and using the part to create additional SCP-1582 queens. 
How this is accomplished is not yet known, further investigation or 
termination protocols pending Site Director approval.

SCP-1583: It Only Makes Us Stronger 


Item #: SCP-1583 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1583 are 
to be held in individual pressurized containment units, located within 
Joint Containment Area-8. Each chamber is to be separated by a 
distance of .5 kilometers, and no instance of SCP-1583 should be 
brought closer than this distance. All chambers are fitted with 
hydraulic pistons preventing the SCP-1583 instances’ lids from 
opening. All instances of SCP-1583 must be held down with at least 
14 MPa of pressure at all times. In the event that a containment 
breach event occurs within the Area, the pressure being placed 
upon the contained SCP-1583 instances must increase by 60% for 
each confirmed breach. 


The "Global Occult Coalition" group of interest will report any 
movement or activity from the containment areas they administrate 
to contain SCP-1583 instances. If the possibility arises to seize an 
instance from one of these locations, it should be acted upon 
immediately. Currently, the Foundation and GOC have contained 61 
instances of SCP-1583. 


The area around former Site-57 is to be bombarded by intense heat 
in order to prevent the spread of SCP-1583 entities. A facility built 
around it has been staffed by Foundation personnel, who are to 
communicate with GOC personnel on means of destroying the 
SCP-1583 entity. 


Description: SCP-1583 designates a collection of metallic barrels 
designed for use in supplying fallout shelters. The exteriors contains 
the information originally printed on them, in addition to this notice: 


Notice From Department of Defend 


This device can be used in your shelter or other places 
of refuge, to protect yourselves and your families from 
the horror of nuclear warfare. Simply enter your family 
into the shelter of choice, and open your container. 
Safety will follow. You will be protected and comforted 
with your family bit by bit, held safely until every other 
seeker of comfort is too. Then, we come out, rebuilding a 
burned world together. Blood and stone, flesh to wood, 
sweat and concrete. Build in your image. 


When opened, instances of SCP-1583 will release thin, white 
threadlike organisms, which will bind together in order to form a 
large appendage. SCP-1583 will attempt to seize living subjects and 
bring them within its mass. Following this, the threadlike portions of 
its mass will disassemble the subject's body. Outer epidermis will be 
destroyed within 14 seconds of contact, followed by muscles and 
other tissue. The subject's skeletal structure will slowly dissolve over 
a period of 2-3 hours. 


There is no observed limit to the quantity of this mass SCP-1583 is 
capable of releasing, with containment breaches in [REDACTED] 
reaching almost 600 meters above the instance. This organism is 
capable of opening SCP-1583 on its own, if there is nothing 
preventing it from exiting on the other side. 


These entities are possible to destroy through application of extreme 
heat, but if additional instances of SCP-1583 breach containment or 
if containment by other organizations fails, the energy required to 
neutralize SCP-1583 entities increases. In addition, the mass and 
speed of emergence has increased over time, currently being at 200 
kilograms of matter every 15 seconds. 4 instances of SCP-1583 
have been destroyed by the Foundation since initial containment. 


If an instance of SCP-1583 is opened, the pressure exerted by the 
organisms within all other SCP-1583 instances will increase by 60%, 
requiring additional pressure to prevent containment breaches. This 
new increase in force will be permanent, and no way of reducing or 
removing it has been found. The destruction of emergent SCP-1583 
entities has been found to have no effect on the new forces 
produced by other instances of SCP-1583. 


SCP-1583 was recovered on 9/19/1989, after an SCP-1583 entity 
breached from an instance stored within the [REDACTED] campus. 
Foundation agents were able to destroy the emergent entities, and 
contained 20 instances of SCP-1583. During this time, SCP-1583 
was Classified as Euclid and contained within Site-57. However, 
approximately 6 months into containment, an uncontained instance 
was apparently breached, causing the destruction of Site-57. 
SCP-1583 reclassified as Keter. 


On 11/15/1999, Foundation assets were able to confirm that the 
GOC possessed instances of SCP-1583. The GOC is believed to 
have breached one instance in a 1990 destruction attempt, which 
caused the initial Foundation reclassification. GOC personnel were 
contacted, and the current joint containment procedures were 
negotiated. 


Addendum: Following the destruction of Site-57, Foundation and 
GOC research personnel were able to observe SCP-1583 entities 
interacting with one another and the area around them. Following 
the destruction, buildings and other structures were reconstructed 
from the entities mass. Several buildings which had been torn down 
or destroyed in the past 50 years were remade, such as the original 
barracks, greenhouse, and recreation areas. 


In addition, portions of the area covered by SCP-1583 entities were 
constructed to appear from the towns of _ , and . 3% of 
all research personnel formerly stationed within Site-57 originated 
from these areas. Humanoid entities have also manifested, bearing 
resemblance to these subjects. They display limited memory of their 
past lives, generally having idealistic or incorrect memories of the 
subjects past. In addition, entities may not match any individual 
subject, but a mixture of several whom were known to be friends or 
family members. These entities retain SCP-1583's properties, and 
should not be approached by Foundation personnel.

SCP-1584: www. floatationdevice. 


Item #: SCP-1584 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1584's domain is to be 
blocked from all major internet service providers through Foundation 
agents in various world governments. Access to the website is to be 
granted to Level 3 personnel. 


Description: SCP-1584 is a website formerly accessible from the 
domain 'www.floatationdevice. 'at IP address 18.2. . . The only 
information on the webpage, when loaded, is safety.jog, an image of 
an unmarked life preserver. 


As long as SCP-1584 is loaded on a device's browser, the device 
will lose a varying amount of mass so as to provide approximately 
73.5 newtons of buoyant force in fresh water. How the mass is 
removed and subsequently returned is completely unknown; 
molecular analysis shows that the molecule densities of the 
materials that make up the computer do not change. Additionally, 
the webpage will automatically call local emergency services 
through internet or cellular reception. Both effects of SCP-1584 
immediately cease when the webpage is closed. SCP-1584 does 
not waterproof the objects it is loaded onto; in many cases, the 
object will quickly cease to function from water damage after being 
submerged, deactivating the effect. 


When loaded on devices too small to normally become this buoyant 
(equal to or less than 7500 cm3), the webpage will instead display 
the message "The mobile version of this service is still in 
development." 


Addendum 1584-1: SCP-1584 was discovered on 20 bya 
Foundation web-crawler on www. . , ranked #4 on the post 
"Top Ten Weirdest Technology Websites". The blog post was 


removed, but was not deemed a security risk due to its relative lack 
of popularity.

SCP-1585: Red Queen Island 


Item #: SCP-1585 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the size and nature of 
SCP-1585, containment is primarily focused on suppressing public 
knowledge and access to SCP-1585. Containment and research is 
to be carried out primarily by the SCPS Garand (publicly RV Van 
Valen) in the Western Hemisphere, and the SCPS Tokarev (publicly 
RFS Filipchenko) in the Eastern Hemisphere. If SCP-1585 moves 
within 500km of major coastline, 250km within the boundary of a 
major current, or 50km of a major shipping lane, it is to be towed to 
a safe distance. Persons entering the area within 15km of SCP-1585 
are to be informed that they are entering a marine protected 
sanctuary and turned away; craft which enter within 2km of 
SCP-1585 are to be captured and administered class C amnestics. 
Bi-monthly excursions to SCP-1585 are organized by Doctors 
Rooker and Szucs depending on SCP-1585’s current location. 
SCP-1585 is currently contained in the North Pacific Gyre, ~1500km 
south of the Aleutian Islands (40.91,178.93). 


Description: SCP-1585 is a colossal specimen of the phylum 
Cnidaria (jellyfish) found to be most genetically similar to Chrysaora 
fuscescens (Pacific Sea Nettle). The bell of SCP-1585 is 544 meters 
across, 412 of which are above the surface of the water, with its 
tentacles extending over 2500 meters in length. Unlike other 
scyphozoans, SCP-1585’s bell constantly secretes a porous 
skeleton of calcium carbonate from its top, closely resembling that of 
anthozoan corals. This hard surface completely paralyzes 
SCP-1585's bell, preventing undulation. Instead, SCP-1585 will 
extend and retract its tentacles to “kite” subsurface currents, 
granting mobility. Over time, natural processes have created a small 
habitable area on the surface of SCP-1585's calcified bell, as well as 
a recruitment surface just below the water line. It is here that 


SCP-1585's secondary anomalous effect can be most easily 
observed. 


Species who take residence on SCP-1585's surface will evolve at an 
extremely rapid rate, developing drastic adaptations in the span of 
only a few generations. Due to SCP-1585's mobility and apparent 
age (estimated at over 6000 years) it has managed to, and 
continues to, recruit various species of plant and animal from all 
around the Pacific Rim, with haplotypes in certain extant species 
extending to as far away as Madagascar. Competition among 
endemic species is fierce, constantly forcing responses to predation 
and competition stresses in order to keep reproductive fitness at a 
viable level. It is worth mentioning, however, that only adaptations 
conveying a higher level of fitness are seen in organisms 
reproducing on SCP-1585, with neutral and negative mutations 
entirely absent. Species endemic to SCP-1585 are capable of 
invading areas that SCP-1585 passes close to. Subsequent 
generations are not known to retain their rapid evolutionary pace 
once leaving SCP-1585, although their specialized adaptions often 
make them a threat to local ecology.

These squid had 
adapted a thicker 
mantle suitable in 
shape for burrowing in 
sand. While burrowed, 
they would lay their 
arms out above the 
surface in a radial 
pattern, quickly 
capturing any prey 
that waiks over them. 
Believed to be one of 
the oldest endemic 
species to SCP-1585, 
this species has 
developed longer, 
feather-like scales, as 
well as long forelimbs 
for gliding. 

This species managed 
to outcompete nearly 
every other plant 
species on the island 
in a few short years 
and completely 
blanketed SCP-1585 
from 1981-1984, 
causing a minor 
extinction event 
resulting in the loss of 
64% of terrestrial 
species.
