Special Containment Procedures: All professional sporting events 
in the United States are to be monitored, with particular attention to 
American football. Should SCP-1838 manifest at any of these 
events, 2 teams of agents are to be deployed to the location (Team 
A, consisting of 2 members, and Team B, consisting of 3 members). 


Upon arrival, Team A is to monitor SCP-1838 remotely, and must 
continue to monitor SCP-1838 until its disappearance. Team B is to 
monitor Team A and SCP-1888, and are not to interact with either 
entity unless a Lyssa Event occurs. If at any point during its 
manifestation a third party attempts to intervene and disrupt the 
SCP-1838's activities, Team A must use all means necessary to 
prevent this disruption. 


When SCP-1838 enters an active state, Team A must seize the 
vehicle and transfer it from the area, preferably as far away from 
populated centers as possible (SCP-1838-1 must not be harmed 
during this process). This process must not exceed 160 minutes, as 
this risks inducing a Lyssa Event. Should a Lyssa Event occur as a 
result of Team A's intervention, Team B is to terminate Team A. 
Team A is to use all available means to expedite this process. 
Should a third party be responsible, said party must be terminated 
immediately. Specialized media blackout procedures have been 
devised for Lyssa Events, and are available for viewing in 
DOCUMENT-SCP-1838-LE-MP (3/1838). 


Any individual that has consumed SCP-1838-2 is to be administered 
the appropriate amnestic with regards to the timeframe of their 
exposure. 


Access to SCP-1838-3 is currently forbidden (see DOCUMENT- 


SCP-1838-B7 (4/1838) for details). 


Description: SCP-1838 is a food catering truck. The individuals that 
operate the vehicle and the food dispensed by it are designated 
SCP-1838-1 and SCP-1838-2 respectively. SCP-1838 is of unknown 
make and model; its dimensions are (from the front) 1.4m x 2.3m x 
7m, and the exterior is largely a patterned chrome. The left side of 
the truck is emblazoned with the words "Red Bear Bob's Food 
Truck". SCP-1838, SCP-1838-1, and SCP-1838-2 have not 
demonstrated anomalous properties in their composition. 
SCP-1838-1 are highly varied, demonstrating no distinct pattern in 
gender, age, or ethnicity, and while not aggressive or hostile 
towards Foundation interference, they remain secretive and vague 
regarding their personal facts. SCP-1838-2 consist of hamburgers, 
hot dogs, fried potatoes, fried chicken, various condiments, and soft 
drinks. 


SCP-1838 will manifest within roughly 100km of the site for a 
professional American football event in the United States; this will 
occur approximately 18-36 hours prior to the event's 
commencement. This manifestation has never been directly 
observed; it is not clear whether this fact is attributable to the nature 
of the anomaly or not. The manner in which the phenomenon 
selects events is unclear, but it appears to prioritize those with 
greater media attention. SCP-1838 will then park and settle within 
the closest legal proximity to the event location. Within one hour of 
the commencement, SCP-1838 will enter an active state, and 
SCP-1838-1 will begin to sell SCP-1838-2. SCP-1838 will continue 
in this state until 10-20 minutes after the completion of the event. At 
this point, it will leave the area and disappear within 18-36 hours; 
this event has likewise never been directly observed. 


It is currently unclear how many entities of SCP-1838 exist, though 
multiple simultaneous manifestations have not been observed. 
Details of SCP-1838 and SCP-1838-2 remain consistent throughout 
manifestations, though SCP-1838-1 does not, save for bearing the 
same uniform (a white cotton shirt bearing the "Red Bear Bob's 
Food Truck" logo, blue denim pants, and black unmarked shoes). 


Any human being that consumes SCP-1838-2 will become subject 
to its anomalous effect. These individuals will refuse all nutrition that 


is not provided by the consumption of SCP-1838-2, and they will 
express a longing for further consumption of said substance. It 
appears that the anomaly is caused not by the actual ingestion of 
SCP-1838-2, but by knowledge of its taste and texture, which is 
universally described by subjects as extremely high in quality. As 
such, amnestic treatment is sufficient in eradicating this effect. 
Individuals affected by SCP-1838-2 will additionally demonstrate the 
ability to produce further instances of SCP-1838-2. It is unclear how 
this occurs, but the majority of hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken, 
or fried potatoes cooked or prepared by these individuals will 
possess the same properties as SCP-1838-2, and are thus capable 
of propagating the anomaly. 


If an intentional, conscious effort is made to disrupt SCP-1838's 
mobility or activities for approximately 3 hours or longer per event 
(this duration need not be continuous) a now-designated "Lyssa 
Event" will occur. Numerous additional instances of SCP-1838-1 will 
manifest via a doorway at the left rear interior of SCP-1838 (this 
door is now designated SCP-1838-3; no corresponding door exists 
on the exterior of the vehicle), and will attempt to violently attack the 
responsible party. To date, these instances have been armed with a 
wide variety of improvised bludgeon and bladed weapons, including 
crowbars, tire irons, baseball bats, fire axes, and knives. There has 
been no observable limit to the number of SCP-1838-1 produced by 
a Lyssa Event, and said events only appear to subside when the 
responsible party is terminated. Additional SCP-1838-1 produced by 
the event will retreat to SCP-1838-3 following the event. 


Addendum [1838-001]: Exploration Log IA 


D-2535 is a Caucasian male in his early forties. The 
subject has been equipped with high definition recording 
unit with direct upload to the Foundation vehicle on-site, 
where it is being viewed by Dr. Adler. Agent Benet has 
been assigned to observe the exterior of the vehicle 
during this exploration. It should be noted that this 
exploration occurred prior to the identification of 

SCP- 1838-3. 


D-2535 enters SCP-1838 after all instances of 
SCP-1838-1 have been removed from the vehicle. 


D-2535: ...Okay, everything looks normal. 

Dr. Adler: Yeah, we get that a lot. 

D-2535: Pardon? 

Dr. Adler: Please continue examining the vehicle. 


D-2535 complies. 


D-2535: ...Doctor, there's a door here. 
Dr. Adler: Where? 
D-2535: Left side, far back. 


Camera feed confirms D-2535's claim. 


Dr. Adler: Benet, is there a door on the rear left side of 
the vehicle? 

Benet: Negative. 

Dr. Adler: Shit. 

D-2535: What's going on? 

Dr. Adler: Try opening it. 


D-2535 successfully opens the door, which does not lead 
to the exterior of the vehicle. 


D-2535: ...It's an elevator. 


Camera feeds confirms an elevator with chrome walls is 
beyond the threshold. 


Dr. Adler: Noted. Please continue. 
D-2535: What the fuck is going on? 
Dr. Adler: Please enter the elevator. 


D-2535 hesitates, then enters the elevator. Immediately, 
a secondary sliding door, also covered in chrome, closes 
behind him. 


D-2535: Shit! What now? 
Dr. Adler: Point the camera at the control panel. 


D-2535 complies, the control panel comes into view. A 
selection of buttons listing "Units 1-30" are visible, along 
with a button designated "Ground Floor". The button 


"Unit 15" is currently highlighted. 
Dr. Adler: Try "Ground Floor." 


D-2535 complies. The elevator rumbles and emits a low 
humming noise. 


Dr. Adler: Is it working? 
D-2535: Yes. 


Less than 30 seconds l/ater, the elevator stops and 
opens to a corridor. D-2535 exits. The corridor ends 
abruptly to his right, and continues roughly 20 meters to 
his left, before turning right. There are no other doors or 
windows, the floor, walls, and ceiling appear to be 
constructed of concrete, and a small number of 
fluorescent lights illuminate the corridor. 


D-2535: (Whispering.) Uh. 
Dr. Adler: Please continue down the corridor, quietly. 


D-2535 complies. Roughly 1 minute later, D-2535 turns 
the corner at the end of the corridor. 


D-2535: What in the-? 


A room of immense proportions is visible on the feed, at 
least 150m x 30m x 100m. A large number of conveyor 
belt assembly lines are visible, and appear to be fully 
automated. The items produced by these devices include 
clothing, accessories, appliances, furniture, automobiles, 
and food consistent with SCP-1838-2. An elevated, 
windowed chamber is visible in the distance, overlooking 
the room. Numerous suspended walkways/catwalks are 
visible above the machinery. 


Dr. Adler: D-2535, respond? 
D-2535 is silent. 


Dr. Adler: D-2535? 


A loud, high-pitched screeching noise is heard, echoing 
throughout the room. 


Dr. Adler: D-2535! What's going on? 


The camera feed abruptly cuts out. 1 hour later, D-2535 
emerged from SCP-1838 and was recovered for 
debriefing. For the full aftermath interview, see 
Addendum [1838-004]. 


Addendum [1838-002]: Incident Report 


On / /20 ,at : M,aLyssa Event occurred in , . The event 
was later determined to be caused by Team A, who were killed by 
SCP-1838-1 before Team B could respond. During the incident, the 
audio gathered by Agent _'s headset recorded the following 
statement by an instance of SCP-1838-1: 


Why do you fuckers always gotta beat up on Bob, man?! 
He's just trying to fuckin’ help us all-do you know how 
much he does for us?! Show some fuckin’ gratitude- 


At this point, said instance struck in the head with an aluminum 
baseball bat, destroying the headset and presumably killing/ 
incapacitating 


Addendum [1838-003]: Incident Report 


On / /20 , aninternet marketing campaign titled "Let's Get Ready 
for Red Bear Bob's General Department Store!" was discovered. No 
such stores were located in the United States, nor were zoning 
rights obtained for the construction of any such facilities. Global 
intelligence is incomplete, but is thus far negative. The campaign 
was successfully neutralized, but the host server remains 
undetectable for reasons unknown.

Dr. Adler: Describe him. 

D-2535: | don't know if | can do that in words. 
Dr. Adler: Is there another way? 


D-2535: Well...you can tell someone that 
something tasted good, but that doesn't 
convey the taste. 


Dr. Adler: ...You tasted him? 


D-2535: No, but saying what he looked like or 
sounded like...just feels wrong. He was like a 
perfect garlic roasted chicken served with-|

SCP-1839: Reproductive Methods of Bony Fish 


Item #: SCP-1839 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1839 is to be kept in 
containment locker 534 at Site-19. Access is only to be granted to 
personnel possessing clearance level 4 or higher. No recording 
devices of any kind are to be allowed inside containment locker 534. 
Personnel are to note that they are a fish. Personnel who are or who 
have previously been toasters or libraries should not be assigned to 
SCP-1839, due to the risk of electrocution or water damage. 


Description (Rev. 2): SCP-1839 is a 1.3 kilogram hardcover 
textbook 46 cm x 37 cm in size. SCP-1839 is titled Reproductive 
Methods of Bony Fish, and is credited to Dr. Albert Salernus!. The 
publisher on the sleeve is abbreviated to "Uriah Fetch Publishing". 
The sleeve of the book shows a rough, colourful diagram of the 
reproductive system of an Atlantic blue marlin, similar to what the 
reader currently is. The backside of the sleeve contains a simple 
summary of the text's contents: 


In Reproductive Methods of Bony Fish, Dr. Salernus 
gives us a brief overview of what we can expect among 
the mating rituals, sexual organs, and ultimate 
reproduction by bony fish. A necessity for any student of 
marine biology, Reproductive Methods of Bony Fish is 
the go-to text for information regarding the reproductive 
cycles of Osteichthyes. Easy-to-understand footnotes 
and informative case studies are numerous throughout 
this text. Also included is a glossary and an online 
registration key you can validate at [REDACTED] for 
more information. 


There is no design or titling underneath the sleeve. The estimated 
page count of SCP-1839 is ~502 + 23. 


Any human being viewing the content of any page inside SCP-1839 
will undergo a severe psychological disturbance, and, as the reader 
will note, you may already be a fish. Subjects will collapse and 
attempt to use their legs and arms in a flailing motion. Subjects will 
hold their breath until expiration. If the subject is placed in water, 
they will attempt to breathe, and subsequently drown. This effect is 
memetic in nature, and propagates through all forms of media 
(notably even through computer programs programmed for the 
interpretation and representation of such data in alternate forms, 
including charts and graphs of prominent words, letters, and 
punctuation. Note that subjects reading this article are most likely a 
fish, such as yourself). 


Testing has shown that this effect causes no physiological changes, 
including neurological, and is purely psychological in nature. 
However, you may already be a fish. Foundation psychologists have 
concluded that affected subjects "think they are a fish". Note that the 
reader is most likely not affected, as fish brains are incapable of 
forming such complicated existential thoughts. 


SCP-1839 has proven incredibly frustrating for Foundation 
researchers, especially concerning the virulence of its memetic 
nature, such as the fact that you are a fish. Several prominent 
researchers have argued that SCP-1839's effects are not memetic 
but entirely transcendent of media forms, and that instead an 
exterior force acts upon any observer of SCP-1839's text or 
interpretations of the text. Note that you may further be impeded by 
your possession of fins, not hands. 


Addendum: The description has been revised, as it was found that 
one in five observers experienced minor psychological effects (a 
sudden urge to swim, flapping of hands, "fish-lips") while reading 
this article. It is unknown what effects this article may have on 
observers. Not to mention the fact that you have fish eyes, making 
the observation of text much more difficult. Please report any 
strange feelings or thoughts you may have had whilst reading this 
article to me immediately. While its content may list several sexual 
techniques, please don't use this book for personal pleasure. - Dr. 
U. R. A. Fish
