Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1562 is currently 
quarantined in Testing Lab 46-V in Site 24. The door to the lab is to 
remain locked at all times. As testing is currently suspended, all 
access is denied unless special clearance is granted by Dr. Carver. 


Description: SCP-1562 is a metal playground slide measuring 2.2 
meters high and 3.4 meters long. SCP-1562 was acquired from an 
abandoned playground on the outskirts of ; after several 
children in the area went missing. The object's anomalous effects 
only manifest when a person slides down head-first on their stomach 
with their arms tucked down at their sides; any other orientation of 
the body or limbs while sliding results in no effect, and only human 
beings are affected. 


When a person slides down SCP-1562 in the aforementioned 
manner, they will disappear instantly and completely at 
approximately 15 cm before the end of the slide. So far no one who 
has disappeared while using SCP-1562 this way has been 
recovered. Attempts to tie safety lines to test subjects in an effort to 
pull them back have ended in failure, as the tether is severed at the 
moment the test subject disappears. Communication with test 
subjects that have disappeared is possible and ongoing, and 
detailed in the logs below.

Foreword: D-2445 was given a 2-way radio 
earpiece to communicate with researchers 
observing the test. Communication began 
immediately after D-2445 disappeared from 
SCP-1562.

Dr. Darritz: D-2445, can you hear me? 
D-2445: Yes, doctor, | can hear you. 
Dr. Darritz: Where are you now? 


D-2445: | don't know. Some sort of very small 
tunnel. It's really cramped. Can you get me out 
now? 


Dr. Darritz: Can you describe it to me? 


D-2445: No, it's too dark. | can't see anything, 
and I'm stuck. 


Dr. Darritz: Stuck how? 


D-2445: I'm still head-first on my stomach, and 
my body's at an angle, but I'm in some sort of 
small tunnel and I'm stuck. I'm completely 
surrounded by rock or dirt on all sides. | don't 
have enough room to raise my head or move 
my arms, and | can't move forward. | really 
want to get out of here now. 


Dr. Darritz: We're going to try. Can you see 
anything? Anything at all? 


D-2445: No, | told you | can't see anything. I'm 
getting kinda freaked out now. I'm not really 
claustrophobic but this is pretty fucking 
uncomfortable. Pull me outta here. 


Dr. Darritz: Unfortunately your safety line was 
severed when you disappeared, so we can't 
pull you out. We'll try to figure out another way 
to retrieve you. For now, just stay calm and 
keep talking to me. 


D-2445 No, no, no, no you need to get me out 


now. | can't handle much more of this. 


Dr. Darritz: Please stay calm. We will have 
you out of there as soon as we can. 


D-2445 Okay, | was able to worm my way 
forward a little bit, but my head hit something. 


Dr. Darritz: What did you hit? 
D-2445: It's a shoe | think. It's small... Jesus. 
Dr. Darritz: What's wrong? 


D-2445: Get me out of here, doctor. Get me 
out of here now. 


Dr. Darritz: Calm down. We'll get you out of 
there as soon as we can. 


D-2445: No, you need to get me out of here 
right now. The shoe...it's so tiny. 


<End Log> 


Communication was suspended with D-2445 while researchers 
discussed possible methods of retrieval. A consensus was reached 
to send down another D-Class attached to a tether, with additional 
video and audio recording equipment, a GPS tracker, anda 
headlamp. Communication was re-established with D-2445 to inform 
him of the plan.

<Begin log> 
Dr. Darritz: Are you still there, D-2445? 


D-2445: Please. Please, | don't want to be in 
here anymore. 


Dr. Darritz: We're going to send someone in 


to pull you out. 
D-2445: It started talking. 
Dr. Darritz: What started talking? 


D-2445: The little boy did. But it didn't make 
any sense. 


Dr. Darritz: Tell me what he said. 


D-2445: He...he just kept asking where he 
was, and | told him | didn't know. But | don't 
think he was really talking to me, because he 
didn't respond to my voice, and he told me to 
stop crying when | was actually sorta calm. 


Dr. Darritz: What else? Was he moving at all 
during this? 


D-2445: | don't think so. He started screaming 
and | told him to shut up but he just kept 
screaming and crying and asking for his 
mommy. Then he finally stopped, and shortly 
after that you contacted me again. Please get 
me out now. 


Dr. Darritz: Okay. We're sending someone in. 
Don't panic if you hear or feel something 
behind you. 


D-2445: Please hurry, my chest is- 
<End Log> 


Shortly after this, D-8600 was sent down SCP-1562 with the 
equipment noted above. D-8600 was selected for his small stature 
and thin body shape, in hopes he would be able to move more 
easily than D-2445. The rope used to tether D-8600 was severed at 
the same moment D-8600 vanished from SCP-1562, and the GPS 
tracker's signal could not be traced. The following audio was 
recorded after contact was established with D-8600.

<Begin Log> 
Dr. Darritz: D-8600, can you hear me? 
D-8600: Yeah, | can hear you, doctor. 


Dr. Darritz: What is your situation? We're not 
getting anything on the video feed. 


D-8600: I'm in some sort of cave or tunnel. It's 
really small and dark. My head lamp stopped 
working as soon as | got in here. 


Dr. Darritz: Are you able to move at all? 


D-8600: I'm not sure | can get my arms up in 
front of me, but | can sort of wiggle my way 
forward. Wait, what is this? Hey! Are you 
alright? 


Dr. Darritz: D-8600? 


D-8600: | just bumped into someone's foot. 
They're not moving at all. Hey, are you okay 
down there? 


Dr. Darritz: That could be D-2445. Davies, try 
D-2445's radio. 


D-8600: | can hear his radio, | think. | can hear 
Davies’ voice. 


Dr. Darritz: Hmmm, D-2445 isn't responding, 
and we're not picking up Davies' voice on your 
radio through our end. 


D-2445: Yes, doctor, | can hear you. (D-2445's 
voice was slightly muffled, but still audible 
through D-8600's radio) 


Dr. Darritz: Davies, turn that off, | can hear 
him through D-8600's! 


D-8600 Hey man, I'm gla- 


D-2445: | don't know. Some sort of very small 
tunnel. It's really cramped. Can you get me out 
now? 


Dr. Darritz: D-2445, listen to me. D-8600 is 
behind you and is there to help get you out. 


D-2445: No, it's too dark. | can't see anything, 
and I'm stuck. 


D-8600: Hey man, it's okay. We know you're 
stuck and we're both going to get out of here. 


D-2445: I'm still head first on my stomach, and 
my body's at an angle, but I'm in some sort of 
small tunnel and I'm stuck. I'm completely 
surrounded by rock or dirt on all sides. | don't 
have enough room to raise my head or move 
my arms, and | can't move forward. | really 
want to get out of here now. 


D-8600: Okay man, it's okay. I'm going to try 
and get my arms up and I'll grab a hold of your 
ankles. They should be able to pull us out of 
here then. 


D-2445: No, | told you | can't see anything. I'm 
getting kinda freaked out now. I'm not really 
claustrophobic but this is pretty fucking 
uncomfortable. Pull me out outta here. 


D-8600: I'm working on it! Have some- 


Dr. Darritz: D-8600, stop talking. Something 
isn't right here, D-2445 is just repeating 
everything he said to me when we initially 
made radio contact with him. 


D-2445: No, no, no, no you need to get me out 
now. | can't handle much more of this. 


D-8600: It's okay, just calm down. Doctor | 
think he's just freaking out. I've almost got my 
arms in front of me. 


D-2445: Okay, | was able to worm my way 
forward a little bit, but my head hit something. 


Dr. Darritz: No, he's literally repeating his side 
of the conversation, word for word. Did he 
actually move at all, like he just said he did? 


D-8600: ...1 don't think so. Okay, this is getting 
kinda creepy, but I've got his ankles. See if 
you can pull us out now. 


D-2445: It's a shoe | think. It's small... Jesus. 


D-8600: Doctor, what is he talking about? Can 
you just pull us out of here? 


D-2445: Get me out of here, doctor. Get me 
out of here now. 


Dr. Darritz: We can't pull you out, I'm sorry. 


D-2445: No, you need to get me out of here 
right now. The shoe...it's so tiny. 


D-8600: What the fuck are you talking about? 
Why can't you pull us out? What does he 
mean the shoe is so tiny? What the fuck is 
going on, doctor?! 


D-2445: Please. Please, | don't want to be in 
here anymore. 


Dr. Darritz: D-8600, unfortunately the rope we 
tied to you was severed as soon as you 
vanished. We didn't realize that would happen. 


D-2445: It started talking. 


D-8600: Fuck. Okay then, I'll try inching my 
way backwards. | won't be able to bring him 
with me though. 


D-2445: The little boy did. But it didn't make 
any sense. 


Dr. Darritz: Good luck, D-8600. We'll stay in 
contact with you for the time being. 


D-2445: He...he just kept asking where he 
was, and | told him | didn't know. But | don't 
think he was really talking to me, because he 
didn't respond to my voice, and he told me to 
stop crying when | was actually sorta calm. 


D-8600: This would be a lot easier if he would 
just shut the fuck up. 


D-2445: | don't think so. He started screaming 
and | told him to shut up but he just kept 
screaming and crying and asking for his 
mommy. Then he finally stopped, and shortly 
after that you contacted me again. Please get 
me out now. 


D-8600: Just shut the fuck up already! Creepy 
asshole. 


D-2445: Please hurry, my chest is really 
starting to hurt. 


Dr. Darritz: Are you making progress, 
D-8600? 


D-8600: A little. It's not easy, but I'm getting 
there. The air's getting kind of stale in here. | 
hope there's enough air for me to make it 
back. Hey, did he finally shut up? 


Dr. Darritz: I'm not hearing him on my end 
anymore either. 


D-8600: Well thank God for that, | was starting 
to think tha- 


Dr. Darritz: What is it? You were starting to 
think that...? 


Dr. Darritz: D-8600? Are you still there? What 
happened? 


<End Log> 


No further response from D-8600 was recorded. Subsequent 
attempts to re-establish radio contact with D-8600 and D-2445 were 
unsuccessful. Testing has been suspended indefinitely.

SCP-1563: Property Markers 


Item #: SCP-1563 
Object Class: Safe Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Specimens of SCP-1563 are 
contained in a sealed vivarium at Bio-Containment Site 84 built to 
emulate a temperate forest environment, and ten Odocoileus 
virginianus (White Tailed Deer) are to be released into the cell ona 
weekly basis. Any further specimens of SCP-1563 found in the wild 
are to be terminated. (See Addendum-1) 


+ Access fileserv:/S:/1563/containment/addend__1.ixt 


In light of recovery log 2, any new specimens are to be 
handled with extreme caution, and will be stored ina 
sealed vivarium at Bio-Containment Site 84. This 
vivarium is separate from the original vivarium used to 
store the pink specimen of SCP-1563. 


Any civilians involved with the capture of a new 
SCP-1563 specimen are to be given Class-C amnestics. 


Description: SCP-1563 is a predatory organism resembling plastic 
property boundary markers commonly used in rural areas. 
Specimens of SCP-1563 usually exhibit pink coloration (with orange 
and blue coloration being recently discovered), though more types of 
coloration are thought to exist. SCP-1563 has very durable and 
sharp tooth-like structures measuring 1.5 mm covering the ventral 
side of its body. These teeth are used to puncture the skin of its 


prey. 


SCP-1563 exhibits behavior of ambush predators, attaching itself to 
trees or other standing wooden structures. When a prey animal 
passes by, SCP-1563 will detach and leap onto its target, then wrap 
around its prey's neck and strangle it to death before puncturing its 


neck using sharp teeth and feeding on its blood. SCP-1563's 
preferred prey appears to be Odocoileus virginianus (White-Tailed 
Deer) and as such poses minimal threat to humans unless provoked 
or malnourished. SCP-1563 is able to survive for at most two weeks 
without nourishment. 


SCP-1563 has two organs; a small capillary system which is 
presumably used to process and distribute the consumed blood 
throughout the body, and the aforementioned teeth, which are 
structured so that when blood is introduced onto the surface of the 
teeth, the blood will diffuse into a set of capillaries located 
immediately under the first layer of the teeth. SCP-1563's mean of 
locomotion is unknown, as no muscle tissues have been discovered. 
By extension, the means by which SCP-1563 circulates blood is also 
unknown, if circulation occurs at all. 


SCP-1563 has an extremely durable cell structure composed of 
what appears to be a 'double'-cell wall - this 'double-cell wall’ is 
literally two cell walls; one inner cell wall, and one outer cell wall 
(both in addition to the cell membrane) which forms a tight bond with 
adjacent cells. It is hypothesized that this double cell wall is used to 
help SCP-1563 stay together when attacking prey, so that they are 
not easily torn. SCP-1563 reproduces asexually. The specimen will 
split itself in two, and hunt smaller prey such as rabbits until it grows 
to a sufficient size. At that point, it will resume hunting White-Tailed 
Deer. 


SCP-1563 will occasionally secrete a yellowish-brown substance, 
presumably waste. The excretions halt approximately 1-2 hours after 
they begin. 


It should be noted that on touch, there is no discernible difference 
between SCP-1563 and a plastic property marker. 


SCP-1563 came to the Foundation's attention following multiple 
reports of deer strangled using property markers in 

Virginia. Undercover Foundation agents investigating the incidents 
were able to identify the anomalous entity responsible, and a 
containment team was able to secure several specimens and 
transport them to Temporary-Storage Site 


+ Access fileserv:/S:/1563/test/testlog7_0.log 
Test Log 1563-7.0: 


Test Purpose: To discern whether or not a 
non-malnourished SCP-1563 specimen has 
other food preferences. If so, these 
preferences are thought to be associated with 
fauna residing in western North America. This 
is the last of such tests, as each prior test has 
resulted in no response from SCP-1563. 


Involved Personnel: D-4213 


Organisms Involved: Multiple specimens of 
SCP-1563, one American Black Bear 


During this instance of testing, the following 
events occurred. Upon introducing the bear to 
the testing environment, the bear became 
enraged and began to attack D-4213, who was 
the personnel introducing the bear to the 
environment. 12 instances of SCP-1563 
leaped onto the bear and began collaboratively 
feeding off of it, with two instances having 
wrapped around the neck, two around the right 
front leg, three around the left front leg, three 
around the right back leg, and two around the 
left back leg. The bear entered hypovolemia, 
and died 5 minutes after initial attachment. 


The 12 instances involved attacked the bear 
unusually quickly, considering that they had 
been previously fed their usual diet. All 12 
instances were observed to be more dormant 
over the next month, not requiring any 
nourishment and exceeding the usual lifespan 
of an unfed instance of SCP-1563. After this, 
each specimen returned to normal activity.
