Through testing, it has been determined that younger subjects 
perceive themselves to have more pigmentation lines and older 
subjects perceive themselves to have more scar tissue. It is notable 
that test subjects suffering from hypochondriasis perceive 
themselves as having a greater number of markings and scars than 
average. 


SCP-2796 was originally discovered in 197 during a Foundation 
inspection of a palliative care center in , Canada, following 
reports of anomalous treatment methods being employed. 
Employees were found to be creating and using SCP-2796 on both 
themselves and their patients to enable "treatment" of non-existent 
wounds, and multiple patients with chronic or terminal diseases had 
marked their bodies with paint or markers in imitation of the 


hallucinatory pigmentation. An investigation and information-control 
campaign was launched, but discontinued during a redeployment of 
resources to containment of SCP-_ . As of the most recent revision 
of documentation (05/04/1996) there have been no known instances 
of SCP-2796 or its recipe outside of containment since.

SCP-2797 


Item #: SCP-2797 


Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-2797 must 
not come in contact with any form of biological material. Personnel 
must utilize hazmat suits capable of withstanding scratches and 
bites by the SCP-2797 instances. 


Description: SCP-2797 is the collective designation of a group of 
~800 organisms visually resembling Sciurus vulgaris, Eurasian red 
squirrels. 


Instances of SCP-2797 exhibit anomalous behaviour and abilities 
when interacting with biological matter. Based on the variations in 
the displayed behaviour, SCP-2797 can be separated into several 
exclusive groups, including: 


¢ SCP-2797-A: Will seek out biological material, extract 
0.2-0.3 kg pieces, and transport them to members of other 
groups. 


¢ SCP-2797-B: Able to spontaneously catalyze various 
chemical and biological reactions within immediate proximity. 


* SCP-2797-E: Use materials gained from SCP-2797-A to 
construct slabs of muscle tissue. 


¢ SCP-2797-F: Fuse with existing non-anomalous organisms 
and modify themselves to improve the host. 


¢ SCP-2797-K: Will dismantle injured or inactive members of 
SCP-2797 into constituting materials, or use available 
materials to construct new SCP-2797 specimens. 


SCP-2797 were created by a Prometheus Labs subcontractor 
located in Nizhnevartovsk, Russia. Due to the displayed anomalous 
properties, and the fact that "proteins" and "squirrels" are 
homographs in the Russian language, it is believed that SCP-2797 
were created due to a mistranslation. 


While SCP-2797 were intended to be used in cellular surgery and 
artificial organ manufacture, they are unable to perform these 
activities due to their scale and physical limitations.

SCP-2798: This Dying World 


Item #: SCP-2798 
Object Class: Thaumiel 


Special Containment Procedures: The site of the Zambezi 
Superdeep Borehole (designated as Site-2) is owned and operated 
by Energie Namur NV, a Belgian energy exploration firm and 
Foundation front organization. All operations at Zambezi are to be 
disguised as natural gas extraction activities to potential observers 
and the government of Mozambique. 


While measurement and detection of SCP-2798 is not believed to be 
possible without proprietary Foundation technology, Site-2 staff are 
to monitor geological and seismological journals and institutions for 
any signs of possible SCP-2798 detection. Secondary effects of 
SCP-2798 on the environment and human health are anomalous 
and thus unlikely to be linked to Foundation activities; therefore, 
information suppression resources are to be prioritized for 
containing direct observation of SCP-2798. 


Periodic monitoring of SCP-2798 is to be performed at least once 
every three months, with all data transmitted immediately upon 
collection to Overwatch Command. 


Description: SCP-2798 is an anomalous energy field generated by 
Earth since 1971. SCP-2798 is the result of a Foundation project, 
initiated in 1954 and completed in 1971, designed to contain 
SCP-001. SCP-2798 has been partially successful in ameliorating 
the effects of SCP-001; however, the intensity of SCP-2798 has 
been decreasing at a geometric rate since 2005, and is expected to 
fail entirely in the near future (see Addendum 2798.5). 


The primary effect of of SCP-2798 has been to disrupt the influence 
of SCP-001 on Earth and its inhabitants. SCP-2798 has a number of 
secondary effects, many of which are profoundly harmful to 


significant numbers of people. These effects, however, have been 
determined to be less harmful in total than a failure of containment 
of SCP-001. 


SCP-2798 is believed to interfere with the effects of SCP-001 by 
causing it to perceive Earth as a singular, living entity. This 
perception is theorized to affect the intent of SCP-001 and reduce 
the focus of its actions. The scientific principles by which this is 
achieved are unknown at this time. 


Addendum 2798.1 - Project Serapis History 


After the discovery and classification of SCP-001 in 1953, approval 
for deployment of several SCP classified anomalous objects was 
granted by the Overwatch Command Subcommittee for Emergency 
Containment. These objects were used in the course of Project 
Serapis, an initiative to contain SCP-001 by means of interfering 
with the entity's perception of Earth. Researchers determined that 
this could be best accomplished by generating an energy field 
encompassing the planet, designed to provide the appearance of a 
single, sentient being. SCP objects were employed as follows: 


SCP-158: Approved for use in generating precursor 
chemicals for eventual refinement into Compound Z221- 
Violet. Initial approval given for production of 10,000 
cubic meters of precursor; later increased to 250,000 
cubic meters. 


SCP-1921: Basis of design for equipment used in 
refinement of Compound Z21-Violet, utilizing principles 
of chemical reactions involving anomalous substances 
and alteration of cognitive functions over distance and 
area. 


SCP-447: Amounts of refined SCP-447-2 used as 
catalyst during Compound Z21-Violet synthesis to 
exponentially enhance area of effect. 


SCP-310: Material generated by anomaly employed as 
extreme heat retardant additive for Compound Z221- 
Violet, enabling substance to persist within the upper 


mantle on an indefinite basis. 


SCP-2570: Corpse of recently deceased musician 
Django Reinhardt! removed from containment and 
appropriated for use in a specially modified drilling 
mechanism, utilizing the corrosive substance constantly 
generated by the dimensional portal co-located with the 
corpse. Borehole reaching the Earth's upper mantle 
successfully completed by November 1953. 


SCP-1714: Advanced fluid dynamics models derived 
from SCP-1714 applied to injection of Compound Z21- 
Violet into the upper mantle to ensure continuous flow 
and maximum extent of SCP-2798 energy field. 


Precursor generated by SCP-158 was initially sourced from cattle 
stocks. In the course of development of Compound Z21-Violet, 
however, this source was found to result in insufficient generation of 
required energy levels during tests. Consequently, an agreement 
was reached with covert partners within the government of the 
United Kingdom to provide sources for precursor concurrent with the 
aftermath of several military engagements in British Kenya. Details 
of this agreement remain sealed. 


Approximately 1,400 cubic kilometers of Compound Z21-Violet was 
synthesized using anomalous methods. Using the completed 
Zambezi Superdeep Borehole off the coast of Mozambique (publicly 
only stated to reach a depth of 9,322 meters), all stocks of 
Compound Z21-Violet were pumped into Earth's upper mantle. 
Forces of mantle convection carried a steady stream of the 
compound throughout the planet, and SCP-2798 was declared 
operational by early 1954. 


Addendum 2798.2 - Major Secondary Effects of SCP-2798 


The presence of SCP-2798 surrounding Earth has led to many 
documented anomalous phenomena affecting human society. These 
effects are to be ameliorated to the maximum extent possible using 
Foundation resources; however, priority of resource allocation 
remains focused on research into possible means of extending the 
duration of SCP-2798. 


The following are the most prominent and observable secondary 
effects of SCP-2798. 


Transcendent identity disorder: This mental disorder was discovered 
by Foundation researchers in the early 1960s. Indistinguishable from 
scientifically-understood dissociative identity disorder for medical 
professionals outside of the Foundation, transcendent identity 
disorder is a condition in which an individual periodically shares 
memories, experiences, thoughts, and sensory input generated by 
another individual, who remains unaware that the sufferer is 
affected. 


Incidence rates of this disorder have been proven to track with 
fluctuations in the intensity of SCP-2798, which is believed to cause 
the disorder in sensitive individuals due to its large-scale chemical 
and anomalous effects on the perception of self across multiple 
types of intelligent entity. 


Patients with transcendent identity disorder are treated by 
mainstream psychiatry in the same manner as those with non- 
anomalous dissociative identity disorder. The incidence rate, on 
average, is believed to be approximately 0.03% of the world 
population, with the majority of cases observed within 500 km of the 
Zambezi Superdeep Borehole. No known treatment exists. 


Erosion of belief in organized action: Advanced mathematical 
analysis, ongoing since 1972, suggests that SCP-2798 is 
responsible for a statistically significant effect on the world 
population's willingness to participate in large-scale, coordinated 
action. This effect is, thus far, only observable on the level of the 
nation-state model. 


Using a variety of criteria, such as voter turnout rates, instability 
indicators, proportional share of representation in reactionary 
political parties in world legislatures, and occurrences of violence 
directed at the state, researchers have established a relationship 
between these factors and the intensity of SCP-2798. Temporary 
increases in the power of SCP-2798 are believed to have influenced 
the outcome of several parliamentary elections, resulting most 
notably in a projected two-seat increase for the Golden Dawn Party 
in the Greek Parliamentary elections of May 2012, and the success 


of a vote of no confidence against UK Prime Minister James 
Callaghan in 1979. 


While researchers have projected the reduction of this effect as a 
possible mitigating factor in the eventual failure of SCP-2798, this 
particular influence appears to have permanently affected political 
landscapes worldwide since the early 2010s, and thus no increase 
in societal stability may be expected from the cessation of this 
containment measure. 


Propagation of anomalous energy fields in other celestial bodies: 
Instrumentation developed via anomalous means for the detection 
and measurement of SCP-2798 began to register data for the Moon 
in 1979. This was followed by detectable fields around Mars in 1981, 
Saturn in 1992, and Comet 33D/Koroma? in 2003. The field around 
the Moon was observed to deteriorate rapidly and disappear entirely 
within the space of three weeks in 2005. To date, this is the only 
known occurrence of an observed field undergoing complete decay. 


How these fields manifested is unknown. Due to the much lower 
energy levels measured for these extraterrestrial fields, researchers 
believe that they do not exhibit the effects of SCP-2798 upon 
SCP-001. 


The relationship between the decay of the lunar field and the sudden 
deterioration of SCP-2798 cannot be established with current 
research capabilities, but is strongly suspected to exist.

Addendum 2798.3 - Suppressed Communications 
Regarding SCP-2798 


SCP-2798 has generated a number of public 
informational risks related to secondary effects, 
documented to be more likely to occur during periods of 
increased energy intensity. This is theorized to be due to 
the omnipresent nature of SCP-2798 and its poorly 
understood effects on mass consciousness. Below is a 
selected log of public documentation believed to be 
attributable to SCP-2798, suppressed either prior to or 


ready to answer questions again. 


Dr. Amberly: Very well. We were talking about the song 
yesterday: Could you tell me more? 


SCP-327: Yes. Song for fish and animals. Song for 
plants. Song for people. Song for home. Song is good. 
Song not like this [SCP-327 hums for three seconds]. 
Song not like words. Song is Song. Song make things 
good. Song not good now. 


Dr. Amberly: And what happened to the song? 


SCP-327: [Low rumbling noise in imitation of a motor] 
made it bad. 


Dr. Amberly: The boat, then. 


SCP-327: Yes. It is okay though. Bad song not hurt 
animals here. You and Watson help Three-Twenty- 
Seven get good song back.

Authorities Detain Ontario Man 
Found in Hole 


Kitchener, Ont. Aug. 30 (UPI) 


Police in Kitchener have detained a man found 
Saturday evening in a ten-foot deep hole that 
he had reportedly dug in a vacant lot in the 
city's Breithaupt Park neighborhood, after 
passersby had reported the incident. 


Witnesses at the scene described a man 
digging a hole with a spade at a frantic pace in 
the late evening hours, refusing to 
acknowledge any attempts at communication 
and described as highly agitated. Police were 
summoned when the man reportedly started a 
portable auger drill that he had taken into the 
hole with him. Emergency responders were 
later called to cordon off the area after an 
unknown chemical substance was found in the 
hole. 


A spokesperson for the Waterloo Regional 
Police Service confirmed that the man, whose 
name has not been released as of press time, 
has been remanded for a psychiatric 
evaluation.

Fellow Engineers, 


Thanks to Fred Munroe for coordinating our 
Fifth Annual Public Exhibition Day at 
Centennial Park! It was a fine day to display 
some of the portable track exhibits we've been 
working on, and the event was a real whopper! 
Miles under our feet, everything we have ever 
known has been taught that life is a curse. 
Special thanks to Cub Scout Troop 497 for 
helping to set up! 


If you're like me, you're excited for the new 
Lionel N-Gauge Scenic Vistas range of 
landscape materials and models. I've gotten 
word that Bill's Games and Hobbies is going to 
get this bang-up new line on their shelves by 
the new year! Eight thousand souls have been 
melted down to create an obscenity that we 
cling to until vengeance comes. Tell Bill that 
you're a member, and get 5% off! 


Congratulations to our buddy Jim Lucas, who's 
retiring after 30 years at the bottling plant, and 
will be lucky enough to die before the end 
comes. Best wishes to him and Cynthia on 
their new life in sunny Florida, and a reminder 
to go check out his neato Southern Pacific line 
in his rec room!
