Item description: LanuGoGoGo! brand candy hair, raspberry flavor. 
The package, depicted in English, showed happy children growing 
full handlebar mustaches of bright neon colors. Inside the package 
were five individually wrapped tablets. Subject opened one wrapper 
and consumed the tablet, noting that it had a chalky, fibrous taste 
and texture, similar to dry oat bran. Five minutes and 14 seconds 
after consumption, subject started growing magenta fibers of a 
sugary consistency from her upper lip, at a rate of approximately 

1 cm every 2 seconds. Mustache stopped growing after 73 seconds. 
The mustache could be easily and harmlessly broken off the subject, 
and consumed. The mustache fibers melted into sugar in the 
subject's mouth and tasted strongly sweet and of artificial raspberry. 
Subject noted a feeling of "being a kid again" after consuming her 
mustache.

Item description: Shakespeare's Scrumptious Sonnets, Blackthorn 
Flavour. An envelope containing four sheets of vellum, each 
(Supposedly) with one of Shakespeare's sonnets handwritten on 
them in a Prunus spinosa-based ink. The sonnets written were #34, 
#77, #121 (although noted as #145) and an unrecognized sonnet 
noted to be Sonnet #219. Note that Shakespeare was known to 
have written only 154 sonnets. When a sonnet is read aloud, all 
individuals within earshot reported sensing a tart flavor similar to 
damson plum. Upon a second reading, listening to the same sonnet 
had no anomalous effect. All sonnets appear to only deliver the 
flavor sensation once. The vellum, when consumed, is dry and 
flavorless.

SCP-2339: Bumblebee Philharmonic Orchestra 


Item #: SCP-2339 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its size and fragility, 
SCP-2339-1 is to be kept within the original site of its discovery, 
which has been refurbished and designated Provisional Site-124. 
Weekly, the main auditorium is to be provided with the appropriate 
instruments and equipment of a modern philharmonic orchestra, and 
SCP-2339-2 allowed to perform. SCP-2339-2 are to be provided 
with a constant supply of nectar. All personnel entering the 
containment room must wear full bee-keeping gear, and at least one 
professional Foundation apiarist must be present on the site at all 
times. 


Description: SCP-2339 is the collective designation for an 
anomalously large Bombus terrestris (buff-tailed bumblebee) nest 
and the bees residing within. SCP-2339-1 is the nest itself, 
measuring nearly 32m across. In comparison, a standard European 
bumblebee nest has a maximum capacity of 400 bees, and is far 
smaller. Aside from its size, SCP-2339-1 shows no other anomalous 
properties. 


SCP-2339-2 refers to the inhabitants of SCP-2339-1, numbering 
approximately 85,000 bees. These bees live for just over a month, 
as is normal for the species, and produce young at a rate equal to 
the rate of death. The bees appear to be normal, showing no signs 
of increased intelligence or other anomalous properties, until 
presented with musical instruments. SCP-2339-2 work together as a 
group to play the instruments, through plucking, pressing keys, 
manipulating bows or drumsticks, and buzzing their wings to 
produce an airflow. Through these methods, SCP-2339-2 are 
extremely skilled in performing music, usually of the classical genre. 
SCP-2339-2 seem to prefer performing together as an orchestra. 
Around half of the bees play the instruments or act as the conductor, 


whilst the remaining half wait to replace bees who have become 
fatigued. Around 100 bees, including the queen, form a cluster 
around and manipulate a conductor's baton in order to conduct the 
orchestra. SCP-2339-2 appear to be able to perform once reaching 
maturity. 


If the bees are unable to play instruments for a period of time, they 
become lethargic before falling ill and eventually dying. Allowing 
them to play as a full orchestra weekly has proved sufficient for 
preventing this. 


SCP-2339-2 seem to play a seemingly random selection of classical 
music, however, they will always include Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's 
"Flight of the Bumblebee" in their performance. SCP-2339-2 have a 
wide knowledge of many pieces of music, and when presented with 
new sheet music learn it at an extremely fast rate. 


SCP-2339 was first discovered during a building inspection before 
the scheduled demolition of the abandoned Concert Hall, 

The nest was found to be present in the main auditorium of the 
building, and reported by the inspector due to its size. The 
Foundation learned of this through an informant in the local council 
and sent an agent to investigate, who discovered the anomaly 
during a performance. Similarities between the anomalous 
phenomenon observed in SCP-2339 and that of SCP-2849 have 
been noted. An investigation into a potentially shared origin is 
ongoing.

SCP-2340: Homesick Hills 


Item #: SCP-2340 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Volcanoes are to be monitored 
for increased activity, which may signify an emergence event. If 
possible, seismological monitoring stations are to track SCP-2340 
instances at risk of emergence. Civilians are to be notified that the 
containment areas are subject to frequent seismic and volcanic 
activity, and thus is off limits. Civilian reports of SCP-2340 are to be 
dismissed as rock slides caused by tremors. Personnel interacting 
with SCP-2340 are to wear standard foundation heat resistant gear. 
Approximately 16 hours after a SCP-2340 instance emerges, 
members of Mobile Task force Epsilon-9 (Fire Eaters) are to remove 
SCP 2340-A from SCP-2340 by spraying the body with water cooler 
than 20 degrees Celsius and cutting out SCP-2340-A. 


Description: SCP-2340 designates a species of mineral based 
organisms which appear to be capable of living in the earth's mantle. 
The body of SCP-2340 instances are composed of a central ovoid 
with 4 fins around the center. At the end of each fin is a smaller 
ovaloid, with a 1-5 proportion to the main body. SCP 2340 does not 
appear to have a front or back, and is capable of locomotion in 
multiple directions. Instances do not possess any distinguishable 
reproductive or sensory organs other than 2 holes roughly 5 meters 
in radius in its main shell. The mean length is typically 300 meters 
long, with a mean diameter of 100 meters. However, instances that 
range up to a kilometer have been noted. 


SCP-2340's life is apparently centered around the intake and 
absorption of magma, with multiple organs connecting to the main 
intake orifices for processing and refining of magma. These organs 
connect to valves and pipes similar in function to the human heart, 
which transport magma. Magma refined by their organs apparently 


functions as blood for SCP-2340 instances, which die when the 
magma hardens. SCP-2340 also appears to be capable of 
propelling high pressure lava from its orifices as a reactive measure. 
This also appears to be their main form of propulsion within the 
mantle. However, when above the crust this typically causes 
accelerated cooling of SCP-2340 instances. For more information on 
SCP-2340's life cycle, see Addendum 1. 


The minerals which SCP-2340 are made up of appear similar in 
structure and composition to quartz, although they are noted to have 
significantly higher heat resistance and durability. The outer 
structure appears similar in arrangement to rectangular armored 
plating, and individual plates overlap each other. Most of the 
minerals have been tested to have heat resistance of at least 1200 
degrees Celsius, although they are prone to fracture and damage at 
under 40 degrees Celsius. 


SCP-2340 instances are only found near areas currently 
experiencing large amounts of volcanic eruptions. Using 
seismological monitoring stations, SCP-2340 instances can be 
tracked as they ascend towards fault lines. Usually, SCP-2340 
instances will hesitate before emerging, and often head back into 
the mantle. However, occasionally an SCP-2340 instance will 
suddenly rush towards the magma vent, where it will be be carried 
along by the magma currents and be unable to escape. Due to the 
blockage caused by struggling SCP-2340 instances, the volcano will 
experience lull periods, followed by a significantly larger blast, 
eventually pushing the SCP-2340 instance out. SCP-2340 instances 
will usually struggle and show signs of distress after being expelled, 
showing an unwillingness to remain in contact with the air. 
Oftentimes, an SCP-2340 instance will attempt to crawl back into the 
volcano. This has only succeeded once, with SCP-2340-19 
reentering the mantle. (See addendum 1) SCP-2340 instances 
generally survive for only a day outside the crust, after which the 
internal magma flow begins to slow down and harden. Eventually, 
once SCP-2340 dies it will be covered in sediment and absorbed 
into the surrounding environment. 


Approximately 2 hours before dying, SCP-2340 instances will often 
produce an electromagnetic pulse by rapidly pumping magma past 


an organ (designated SCP-2340-A) located near the center of their 
mass. This is hypothesized to be a distress call, as volcanoes which 
have SCP-2340 produce such pulses generally are 10% more likely 
to have another emergence event than a volcano not marked. In 
order to prevent more SCP-2340 instances from emerging, 
members of Mobile Task force Epsilon-9 (Fire Eaters) are to 
surgically remove SCP-2340-A from the main body roughly 16 hours 
after emergence. By cooling down a section with water, the body 
can be cracked and broken apart. However, because internal 
magma will still be liquid as this point, care must be taken to not 
disturb the main arteries. After 24 hours, internal magma will have 
cooled to the degree that a full autopsy can be safely carried out. 


Incident 2340-507: On //20 , SCP-2340-19 emerged from Mt. 

in Indonesia. During its 4 hours above surface, it continuously 
dug at the sides of the mountain. At 16:43 hrs, Mt. erupted 
again due to collapse of the caldera. Afterwards, SCP-2340-8 was 
no longer present, and Mt. has not experienced another 
emergence event. This is the only known case of an SCP-2340 
instances successfully returning. (Gee Addendum 1) 


Addendum 1: During the dissections of SCP-2340-5 and 
SCP-2340-21, smaller instances of SCP-2340 was discovered, 
designated SCP-2340-5b and SCP-2340-21b. SCP-2340-5b was 25 
meters long, and was found in a chamber (Designated SCP-2340-B) 
connected to the main orifices. SCP-2340-B possessed notably 
cooler temperatures than the rest of the body, and is hypothesized 
to be a birthing chamber. At the time of its discovery, SCP-2340-5b 
was composed of incompletely crystallized magma. The outer shell 
had not yet begun to form, and a flexible umbilical cord connected it 
to SCP-2340-5. 4 hours after discovery, SCP-2340-5b died and was 
dissected. 


SCP-2340-21b was roughly 50 meters long, and was discovered in 
the same position in SCP-2340-21. The umbilical cord was still 
present, but was no longer attached. SCP-2340-21b had fully 
formed plating, and was apparently capable of using the magma 
ingested by SCP-2340-21 for self sustainment. After discovery, the 
containment team was given permission to attempt rehabilitation of 
SCP-2340-21-b, which was still alive at the time. SCP-2340-21 was 


removed to a higher portion of the caldera, and cut apart. 
SCP-2340-21-b then removed itself from SCP-2340-21, and after re- 
submerging, has not been seen since.

SCP-2341: Welcome Home 


Item #: SCP-2341 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2341 and the surrounding 
terrain are to be constantly monitored by Site-48 extension Security 
Post-2341. Any non-Foundation personnel attempting to enter 
SCP-2341's containment area are to be detained and reported. Any 
spontaneous anomalous activity from SCP-2341 is to be logged. 
Mobile Task Force Zeta-7 (“Homestead”) are to keep non- 
Foundation personnel from traveling to SCP-2341. The containment 
area is to be surrounded by an electric fence. 


Description: SCP-2341 is an abandoned two story house located 
on asmall sand bank between Little Thatch Island and Phillis Island, 
Cape Cod. The condition of the structure's exterior indicates 
exposure to the elements for a prolonged period of time. The 
interior, when viewed through the windows, is heavily fire-damaged 
and shows no signs of recent habitation. 


SCP-2341’s anomalous properties activate only when a human 
subject older than 18 years of age opens the front door. Only one 
subject at a time can enter!, but cannot leave until the anomalous 
events have concluded. The door will also remain closed if the 
house is already occupied. When entering SCP-2341, the interior 
will reshape itself to look identical to the home that the subject had 
lived in for the first 18 years of life. Outside observation through the 
windows will be blocked by the curtains inside of SCP-2341. 
SCP-2341's interior change, during its anomalous effects, does not 
correspond with external geometry of the house. Subjects that had 
moved during this time period will enter the home that they lived in 
the most. 


The subject will then encounter a variable number of SCP-2341-1 
instances. These instances will bear the exact appearance of all the 


subject’s immediate family members as well as former household 
pets. Subjects that have grown up with an adopted or foster family 
will encounter SCP-2341-1 instances based on their surrogate 
family rather than their biological one. 


SCP-2341-1 instances that resemble deceased family members are 
aware of the original counterpart's current condition, but will not treat 
their appearance as an irregular occurrence. 


Subjects will remain in SCP-2341 for approximately 8.5 hours 
regardless the time of entry. At the end of the visit within SCP-2341, 
all SCP-2341-1 instances and the subject will prepare for sleep. 
Once the subject has fallen asleep, they will be teleported to and will 
wake up at the front door of SCP-2341. 


It has been noted that references to an entity by the name of “Peter” 
have been present in various SCP-2341-1 conversations. Currently, 
no known information has been discovered about this person. As of 
//2015, subjects have witnessed a humanoid entity (designated 
SCP-2341-2) during their stay inside of SCP-2341. Subjects 
perceive SCP-2341-2 as either an older child or young adult (Ages 
observed range between approximately 10 to 18 years of age). 
Sightings consist of brief glimpses of SCP-2341-2 before the entity 
moves out of the subject’s line-of-sight. Attempts to follow the entity 
have so far proven futile. Subjects can detect when SCP-2341-2 is 
nearby from loud aggravated grunts and crying. See also Addendum 
2341.2.
