SCP-1944-1: Sure thing, sir! Here at 
Ascension Burger, we're always happy to help 
a customer in need! That's a steel weighing 
stone tying you down to the putrid nature of 
your unenlightened physical state, sir! 


Dr. : Pardon? 


SCP-1944-1: Hey there! Welcome to 
Ascension Burger! How may | - 


Dr.  :No,I'mstill asking you a question 
here. (gestures to cell-phone) Can you tell me 
what you think of this? 


SCP-1944-1: Sure thing, sir! Here at 
Ascension Burger, the assisted enlightenment 
of those who scrounge through this vapid 
decadent earth hoarding false wealth just as 
the slothful beasts of old did is our number one 
priority! 


Dr. : You take offense at it, then? 


SCP-1944-1: (quickly) If you like it so much, 
why don't you eat it? 


Dr. : Excuse me? 


SCP-1944-1: Hey there! Welcome to 
Ascension Burger! How may | help you today? 


Dr. —: (sighs) Let's try something else. 
Where do you live? 


SCP-1944-1: When I'm stood here in 
Ascension Burger, | always feel at home, sir! 


Dr. |: Can you tell me where the other 


workers live? 


SCP-1944-1: Sure thing, sir! Here at 
Ascension Burger, however, we prefer the 
term ‘service provider’ over worker! It's not 
work if it's Ascension Burger! 


Dr. : Well, where do the other service 
providers live? 


SCP-1944-1: Sure thing, sir! Here at 
Ascension Burger, we all live at Ascension 
Burger. 


Dr. _: We're getting nothing from this. End 
the interview.

Interview Log 1944-2 


D-201987 had been used as a test subject for SCP-1944 
many times in an attempt to evaluate the mental effects 
which SCP-1944 causes. Dr. conducted the 
interview, which was also supervised by security 
personnel. 


<Begin Interview> 
Dr. _: Hello, D-201987. 


(D-201987 does not speak for thirty (30) 
seconds.) 


Dr. : Hello? 


D-201987: Sorry, Doc. I'm in China now, too. 
It's getting confusing. | don't think I'll have to 
be here much longer. 


Dr. _: What do you mean by that? 


D-201987: It's like they say in the 
commercials, you know? 


Dr. : Which commercials? 


D-201987: The Ascension Burger ones. Man 
walks up to friend at bus-stop, says 'what are 
you eating’, other guy says ‘I'm not eating, I'm 
evaluating the mistakes | have made in my 
obsession with the self-worship | have 
conducted’, they both say Ascension Burger, 
thirty seconds. Cartoon man says rip off your 
skin, people go eat at Ascension Burger. 


Dr. : I'm afraid no such commercial has 
ever been aired, D-201987. Was this a dream 
you had? 


D-201987: | don't have dreams anymore, 
dreams aren't needed when you've thrown off 
the shackles of your former existence and 
accepted your role as a greater force at 
Ascension Burger. 


Dr. :Can you tell me anything about the 
nature of SCP-1944? 


D-201987: It's the truth. Shows you the good 
way. It's a good truth. Good food. Good truth. 
Kids drink free. Saw the commercials in the 
air, everything's in the air if you know where to 
look. Show you that in the texture of the red 
beef. Ascension Burger, | mean. 


Dr. _: You're claiming SCP-1944 has altered 
your perception of reality? 


D-201987: No, not really. Just let you see it all. 
There's a new lady with no skin dancing on a 
cloud, that's what I'm going to look like. That's 
what I'm going to look like at Ascension 


Burger! Skin's just space, just a waste of 
space. It's what's inside that you need, Doc. 


Dr. : Quite. Well, that'll be all for now, 
D-201987. 


D-201987: You should eat at Ascension 
Burger too, Doc. Good food, good truth, good 
prices. It's got the red beef: kids drink free. 
You should take a kid for no skin! (laughs) For 
no skin, good food at Ascension Burger too!

SCP-1945: A Slow-Scan Signal 


Item #: SCP-1945 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1945 is to be monitored 
from Site-46, located approximately 150 meters from the edge of the 
anomalous zone. All electronic devices required on site are to be 
stored within the Site-46 facility, and under no circumstances taken 
into the SCP-1945 anomalous zone. 


The secrecy of SCP-1945 is to be maintained by a standard 
security/surveillance team in accordance with the object class, and 
the cover story of radioactive waste dumped upon the property 
disseminated in local press. Security breaches are to be handled via 
nonlethal means unless absolutely necessary and directed through 
local authorities. 


SCP-1945-1 is to be observed by Site-46 staff at all times. For the 
purpose of recording and analysis, Site-46 is to contain a secure 
computer setup with software capable of decrypting, compressing 
and responding to SCP-1945-1. Only one member of site staff may 
be in direct observation of the output data, with at least two 
additional staff present to ensure the observer's mental condition is 
not compromised. (See Incident Report SCP-1945-1.5). 


Due to the content of SCP-1945-1, one (1) personal defense 
weapon is to be kept in storage at Site-46 in the case of evacuation 
or repulsion of a hostile entity no firearms are to be kept on the 
person, or in proximity to, any member of Site-46 staff. 


Description: SCP-1945 is an anomalous region located over a rural 
household in . In all observed states the anomalous zone 
covers the entirety of the structure; however, the size and shape of 
the field is influenced by multiple conditions, including but not limited 
to temperature, humidity, electromagnetic waves of various 


wavelengths, and the presence of ferrous metal. The diameter of the 
anomalous area varies from an average of 49 meters at midnight to 
an average of 104 meters at noon. 


The anomalous zone of SCP-1945 has an influence on the current- 
carrying capacities of all materials with an electrical resistivity of 2.4 
units or lower. While any circuit with a power supply outside of the 
anomaly remains unaffected, retaining unchanged voltage, current 
and resistance outside of the anomalous area, any instances of 
appropriate material within SCP-1945 are saturated with a shifting 
electrical current identified to be digital audio output, resulting in the 
disruption or destruction of electronic devices. While this current is 
not usually capable of leaving the area of SCP-1945, a coating of 
lead to certain cable materials has allowed analog output to be 
extracted to Site-46, cataloged as SCP-1945-1. 


SCP-1945-1 is a signal carried by the current manifested within 
SCP-1945, and has been identified as a repeated Slow-Scan 
Television (SSTV) signal broadcast with a 36-second transmission 
time and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels when translated into a 
visual format. SCP-1945-1 is transmitted at three times the reading 
speed of ordinary SSTV signals, requiring software to be modified in 
order to correctly convert the images. 


When converted, SCP-1945-1 appears as surveillance footage of a 
room that bears similarity to a standard Foundation humanoid 
containment cell, with the video source located at one corner of the 
room. SCP-1945-1 transmits five frames per minute. As the signal is 
uninterrupted at all times, SCP-1945-1 generates 7200 frames per 
24-hour period, or 240 minutes of footage. 


According to SCP-1945-1 observation, the cell contains: 


* One (1) steel-frame bed with a basic mattress, pillow and 
sheet. The bed frame is fixed 

* One (1) metal table, centered in the room. 

¢ Two (2) metal chairs, in line with the image source. Neither 
the chair or table are bolted to the floor. (See Document 1.3) 

¢ Three (3) pieces of cutlery, consisting of a plate, cup, and 
spoon made of blue plastic. These are replaced three times a 
day whether or not food is consumed. No knife or fork have 


ever been observed. (See Document 1.1) 

A mirrored window, identified to be an observation room. 

An adjoined room, presumed to be a bathroom, hidden from 

camera. 

Multiple books, stacks of paper and drawing implements. 

* Two (2) intercom speakers, situated at opposite corners of the 
room. 

* A young female humanoid of fair skin and black hair, 
designated SCP-1945-2, believed to be the occupant of the 
cell, as SCP-1945-2 does not leave the security footage 
except under unusual circumstances. (See Document 1.3, 1.4 
and 1.7) 


SCP-1945-1 has been observed to be outside of the control of the 
captors of SCP-1945-2. SCP-1945-1 has been interrupted on two 
occasions (See Document 1.2, 1.4) and modified on one (See 
Document 1.5). However, the current lead researcher on-site, Dr. 

, has theorized that the signal may be related to SCP-1945-2, as 
both interruptions have been consistent with periods of traumatic 
unconsciousness. 


As SCP-1945-1 has been determined to be a live feed as by 
Document 1.6, It is assumed that the location in the footage is under 
the effect of Type 1 time dilation at a ratio of 6:1. 


Additional: 


Throughout observation of SCP-1945-1 there have been six 
separate instances in which SCP-1945-1 or its content has deviated 
from usual behavior. These are designated 1.2 through 1.7. 
Document 1.1 is a transcript of an ‘average’ daily routine. Note that 
all times listed in Document 1.1 are averaged from days of 
recorded footage. Due to the effect of time dilation, true times are 
unknown. Times in all documents are approximated based on 
comparison between SCP-1945-1 and Foundation humanoid 
containment protocols.

SCP Involved: SCP-1945-2 


Date: N/A 


4:00 A.M: SCP-1945-2 awakens. This is 
accompanied by a notable decrease in signal 
interference, clearing nearly all image artifacts. 
By observed reactions of SCP-1945-2, it is 
assumed that she is awoken by some form of 
alarm or intercom. SCP-1945-2 moves around 
the room for the next three hours, showing 
signs of anxiety, moving between both chairs 
and the bed. SCP-1945-2 has been seen on 
multiple occasions to lay her head on the table 
or assume the fetal position on the bed, 
observed to be crying. At this time, lights within 
the cell are dimmed, making close observation 
of SCP-1945-2 difficult. 


6:30 A.M: The lights in the cell increase in 
luminosity to approximately 500 lumens. 


07:00 A.M: The cell holding SCP-1945-2 is 
unlocked and the first meal is delivered by an 
unidentified figure in a white lab coat. 
SCP-1945-2 rarely moves from whatever 
position she is in until the deliverer has left and 
the cell has been locked. 


07:15 A.M: SCP-1945-2 finishes her meal and 
pushes the plate aside, moving one chair to 
the furthest corner from the camera and 
staring at it for approximately one hour, after 
which she returns to casual behavior. It should 
be noted that SCP-1945-2 rarely makes use of 
drawing implements; however, she has been 
observed to damage books and tear up large 
quantities of paper over the course of several 
hours. 


03:30 P.M: Two armed guards enter the room 
in full body armor, moving SCP-1945-2 and 
the chair away from the table and holding her 


in her seat. A third figure approaches, applying 
an unknown item to the wrist of SCP-1945-2. 
At this point, SCP-1945-2 quickly falls 
unconscious, causing extreme interference to 
SCP-1945-1, rendering approximately 75% of 
signal data unrecoverable. Footage of the 
following 15 minutes has not given any 
indication of what occurs during this period of 
unconsciousness. 


03:45 P.M: SCP-1945-2 awakens on the bed, 
indicated by a sudden increase in video 
quality. SCP-1945-2 does not move from the 
bed, nor has she been observed to move at all 
after 3:30 P.M. 


05.30 P.M: Third meal is delivered to the cell 
containing SCP-1945-2. SCP-1945-2 shows 
no signs of acknowledgement and has never 
been observed to leave the bed. 


06:00 P.M: SCP-1945-2 falls asleep. This is 
accompanied by a slow decrease in quality, 
ultimately rendering approximately 60% of 
signal data unrecoverable. Interference 
appears to be that of a second SSTV string 
overlapping with the first. The content of the 
second SSTV string is unknown.

SCP Involved: SCP-1945-2 
Date: / / 


Subject: After extensive analysis of SCP-1945, a test 
was approved in order to determine whether the signal 
effect of SCP-1945 worked in both directions. 


Procedure: A second cable of copper wire was trailed 
from Site-46 to within the field of SCP-1945 but earthed 


separately to the main circuit. A 60-second audio file 
consisting of single-tone beeps at one-second intervals 
was digitized and applied to the cable. Results were 
observed via SCP-1945-1. Test commenced at 07:25 
AM, during a period when SCP-1945-2 had shown little 
to no movement. 


Results: Exactly seven frames after the signal 
terminated, SCP-1945-2 moved from her location, 
standing and turning to face the speakers. She then 
returned to the seat, moving it to the side of the table 
opposite the door. 

SCP-1945-2 proceeded to sit, and remained as such, 
without movement, until 12:00 P.M. When her meal was 
to be delivered, SCP-1945-2 grasped and flipped the 
table towards the door, following which she used a chair 
to assault the person delivering the food. After 
incapacitating the person, SCP-1945-2 attempted to 
escape the room, leaving visual range for 12.4 seconds 
before being forcibly dragged back into the room by two 
additional figures in full body armor. In the face of 
continued resistance, SCP-1945-2 was injected with an 
unknown substance by one of the figures. SCP-1945-1 
reached 75% data corruption in 15.7 seconds, indicating 
unconsciousness. 


Analysis: Previous lack of movement at the time of the 
test indicates that SCP-1945-2 was capable of 
perceiving the signal sent into SCP-1945. However, due 
to her extreme reaction, it is the opinion of Dr. that 
no subsequent tests be conducted without further 
observation of SCP-1945-2. 


+ Document 1.3 
SCP Involved: SCP-1945-2 
Date: / / 


Description: Following the events of Test Log 
SCP-1945-1.2 the previous day, SCP-1945-2 deviated 


widely from previously observed routine. SCP-1945-2 
slept until 07:00 A.M, and was not awoken during the 
deliveries of food. SCP-1945-2 was observed pacing the 
cell over the course of several hours, finally settling at 
the table at approximately 10:45 A.M. Unusual activity 
ceased until 3:15 P.M, at which point SCP-1945-2 began 
to move furniture to barricade the door, including the 
table, both chairs, and bedding. SCP-1945-2 then 
propped herself against the door, and held the door shut 
for the following 62 minutes, before being forced back by 
a pair of armored guards. 


At this point, SCP-1945-2 manifested an anomalous 
effect whose exact nature is unknown. Exact times were 
measured at the time of the disturbance. 


0.0s: SCP-1945-2 manifests effect. 
SCP-1945-2 stands in the center of the room, 
head tilted back and hands clenched. Armored 
guards attempt to engage SCP-1945-2. 


0.7s: Guards recoil, showing signs of 
disorientation and pain. 


4.4s: SCP-1945-2 falls to her knees. Both 
guards appear incapacitated, falling to the floor 
and remaining motionless. 


7.8s: SCP-1945-2 returns to standing. 


9.2s: Observation-room glass shatters 
outwards from the position of SCP-1945-2. 
SCP-1945-1 is obscured by what is assumed 
to be a fracture in the camera lens. 


9.8s: Both speakers in the room 
simultaneously catch fire. 


10.6s: SCP-1945-2 ends the effect, as noted 
by movement from her previous stance, 
dropping to her knees again. 


16.4s: SCP-1945-2 recovers, climbing through 
the broken window and leaving visual range. 


The data corruption of SCP-1945-1 began to increase as 
soon as SCP-1945-2 left the room. 5 minutes after the 
escape attempt, SCP-1945-1 ceased audio for the first 
and only time since the beginning of observation. 
SCP-1945-1 resumed broadcasting approximately 14 
hours later, providing an image of SCP-1945-2 resting 
upon her bed with no signs of damage to the room.
