00/19/38: The drone is moving past a typical 
Safavid nobleman's house, apparently built in 
the early 17th century. A number of 
SCP-3722-1 instances resembling soldiers in 
the service of the Hotaki dynasty suddenly 
appear. They proceed to loot and set fire to the 
house. As they do so, minor structural damage 
can be seen to appear on the surrounding 
houses8. After the fire has gone out, the 
SCP-3722-1 instances disappear. The drone is 
ordered to continue. 


00/37/08: The drone is moving past a 17th- 
century coffeehouse. Two SCP-3722-1 
instances, dressed in clothes appropriate to 
the mid-20th century, suddenly appear. One of 
the SCP-3722-1 instances appears to be 
playing the part of the coffeehouse's owner; 
the other appears to be playing the part of a 
property developer who wishes to convert the 
coffeehouse into an apartment block. After 
much negotiation, the "developer" instance 
takes a bag full of coins from his pocket, and 
passes it to the "owner" instance. At this point, 
both instances disappear, and the coffeehouse 
collapses. Further structual damage then 
afflicts the other buildings in the camera's line 
of sight, causing several to collapse9. The 
drone is ordered to continue. 


01/05/45: At this point, it is noted that sand 
appears to be pouring into the Chahbagh 
Avenue from the side streets. Investigation 
appears to show sand being pushed upwards 
from undergound through various cracks in the 
surface of the street. The drone is ordered to 


continue. 


01/17/18: The drone has reached the entrance 
to the palace. As it enters, a large number of 
SCP-3722-1 instances, apparently 
representing looters, can be seen running 
across the palatial complex with a variety of 
valuable items; an SCP-3722-1 instance is 
urging them to "take the treasures of the false 
Sufis" as a form of divine punishment. All of 
the SCP-3722-1 instances appear to be 
wearing clothes suitable to the early 19th 
century. After 3 minutes of this behaviour, the 
SCP-3722-1 instances disappear; several of 
the palatial buildings abruptly collapse.19 The 
drone is ordered to continue through the 
palace to the Ali Qapu pavilion, and onto the 
Naqsh-e Jahan Square. 


01/27/03: The drone enters the Naqsh-e 
Jahan square. A single statue is located in the 
centre of the square, which has never been 
present during the city's non-anomalous state. 
The drone is ordered to approach the statue. A 
large quantity of sand appears to be erupting 
from cracks in the surface of the square and 
the surrounding buildings; this sand is rapidly 
filling the square, despite its vast size. 


01/30/14: The statue appears to be of Shah 
‘Abbas I, looking triumphantly up at the sky. 
Engraved onto the pedestal is a couplet in 
Persian: “The spider weaves the curtains in 
the palace of the Caesars/The owl calls the 
watch in the towers of Afrasiab"!1. 


01/30/49: The sand is now increasing in 
volume at an extremely rapid rate. The drone 
is instructed to fly directly upwards in order to 
gain a birds-eye view of the city. 


01/31/58: The drone has ascended to a height 
of 1000m. The streets can be seen to be 
entirely covered in sand, which continues to 
increase in volume. 


06/57/33: Sunset is just beginning. All of the 
city's structures are entirely covered by sand; 
movement beneath the sand indicates that the 
city's collapse is beginning. The drone is 
ordered to return to base. 


<End Log> 


After sunset, SCP-3722 ended, and the populace of Isfahan was 
restored as per usual. 


Footnotes 

1. Although commonly believed to have be a picture of Isfahan, a 
note written on the back of this image - and only readable under the 
influence of mnestics - describes the artist witnessing the city 
"magically transform" when approaching it from a distance. The 
artist, Eugéne Flandin, apparently believed it to simply be an image 
of Isfahan. Only personnel who have subsequently taken 
appropriate mnestics have been able to remember the contents of 
the written note. 

2. The date of the city's fall to the Hotaki dynasty and the end of 
Safavid rule. 

3. The period between the completion of Shah 'Abbas's "New City" 
and the beginning of the collapse of the Safavid economy and 
Safavid political control. 

4. The only exceptions to this are those objects found on the person 
of a human entering the city. The exact parameters are unclear; a 
handbag or a car will transform, for instance, while a balloon being 
held by a piece of string will not. 

5. Those provinces ruled by the Qizilbash nobility and other regional 
governors, rather than directly by agents of the Shah 


6. This is believed to be a reference to the ruling Sultan, Murad III 

7. The general term for the regions of the world ruled by Muslims. 

8. Satellite imagery showed that this affected the entire city. 

9. Approximately 30% of the city's buildings collapsed at this point. 
10. Following this, approximately 70% of the city's buildings had 
collapsed, with many others existing in an extremely dilapidated 
state. 

11. This is the couplet recited by Sultan Mehmed II upon taking 
Constantinople in 1453, in which he reflects upon the decay of great 
empires. 


SCP-3724: Guard Puppies 


Item #: SCP-3724 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The fencing around SCP-3724 
which defines its outer perimeter has been altered to give strong 
electrical shocks upon physical contact. This is to act as a deterrent 
to prevent humans and animals from accessing SCP-3724. 
SCP-3724's front gate is to be guarded by at least one member of 
MTF Psi-7 ("Home Improvement") disguised as a security guard. 
The two neighboring houses adjacent to SCP-3724 have been 
purchased by the foundation in order to reduce the chances of 
civilians triggering an active state. Any individuals caught 
trespassing on the premises of SCP-3724 are to be detained, 
questioned, administered Class B amnestics and released. Future 
testing with SCP-3724 is to be approved by at least two personnel 
with level 3 clearance or higher. 


Description: SCP-3724 is a two-story house located in the center of 
a gated estate in [REDACTED] Georgia. SCP-3724 spans 75 
square metres and is located on 3 acres of fenced land. There are 
several signs reading "Beware of Dog" on the front gate and outer 
fencing of SCP-3724. SCP-3724’s anomalous properties manifest 
when any autonomous entity enters within its established perimeter. 
Once an entity violates this perimeter SCP-3724 enters an active 
state during which SCP-3724-1 will bark incessantly whilst instances 
of SCP-3724-2 exit from numerous openings in SCP-3724 at an 
average rate of five instances per second. Instances of SCP-3724-2 
will then proceed to attack the intruder by biting and scratching. 


SCP-3724 will remain in an active state until the intruder is 
destroyed or leaves the premises. Cadavers and pieces of broken 
machinery which remain within SCP-3724's perimeter are carried off 
of the property and buried by SCP-3724-2 instances before the 
cessation of the event. Examination of the perimeter of SCP-3724 


resulted in the discovery of several buried animal corpses’, a toy 
R.C helicopter and a severed human foot?. After the event has 
concluded instances of SCP-3724-2 will re-enter SCP-3724 and any 
instances of SCP-3724-2 who perished during the event will 
undergo rapid decomposition until the entirety of the instance has 
been reduced to dust. 


All attempts to access the interior of SCP-3724 so far have been 
met with failure. To date attempts to access the interior of SCP-3724 
have resulted in the loss of four land-based R.C drones, three air- 
based R.C drones, one D-class personnel and one military grade 
armored utility vehicle. Ranged camera inspection of the interior of 
SCP-3724 show no abnormalities and show no instances of 
SCP-3724-2. 


SCP-3724-1 is a member of Canis Lupus Familiaris or domestic dog 
and appears to be of Shih-poo breed. SCP-3724-1 is female and 
has fur with a dirty-grey coloration. SCP-3724-1 does not require 
food, water or sustenance of any kind and spends the entirety of its 
time on the roof of SCP-3724 while constantly looking out for 
intruders. 


SCP-3724-2 are members of Canis Lupus Familiaris or domestic 
dog and appear to be of Shih-poo breed. Instances of SCP-3724-2 
appear to be cloned instances of the same two dogs classified as 
SCP-3724-2-A and SCP-3724-2-B. SCP-3724-2-A and SCP-3724-2- 
B are both male dogs with fur of a white coloration. 


At the beginning of an active state SCP-3724-2 instances possess 
physical attributes consistent with that of a non-anomalous dog of 
similar size and breed however, as the event continues newly 
produced instances of SCP-3724-2 begin to display anomalous 
feats of strength and agility, the potency of these physical 
enhancements seems to be directly proportional to the length of time 
SCP-3724 has been in an active state. The longest event to date 
has been ten minutes long, at the end of which produced 
SCP-3724-2 instances were capable of running in excess of 80 km 
an hour, jumping 12 metres in the air and biting through three-inch- 
thick steel plating. Physically enhanced instances of SCP-3724-2 
are indistinguishable from their normal counterparts and thus all 
instances are to be treated as potentially dangerous. 


Normal instances of SCP-3724-2 which are removed from the 
property prior to its deactivation will attempt to return and react 
violently to any attempts to impede it, following the cessation of the 
event the SCP-3724-2 will cease trying to return to SCP-3724 and 
will exhibit mannerisms similar to that of a non-anomalous domestic 
canine. SCP-3724-2 instances with enhanced physical attributes will 
also cease trying to return to SCP-3724 following the cessation of an 
active state however, they will retain their aggressive nature. Due to 
their physical capabilities and violent tendencies, the removal of 
enhanced instances of SCP-3724-2 from SCP-3724 is strictly 
forbidden. 


Discovery: Housing records show that SCP-3724 was previously 
inhabited by a family of four, Phillip Richmond (age 37), Deana 
Richmond (age 35), Jason Richmond (age 12) and Rebecca 
Richmond (age 6). SCP-3724's anomalous properties were 
discovered shortly after all members of the family were killed in a car 
crash on 3/10/20143. 


SCP-3724 was discovered on 3/15/2014 when Robert Mafood, who 
was tasked with picking up the family dogs triggered an active state 
and was attacked by instances of SCP-3724-2. Robert then 
proceeded to call animal control complaining about a “swarm of 
dogs”. Two animal control agents were dispatched to the area where 
they triggered another active state and were promptly attacked. 
Following the second event, foundation personnel were contacted 
and quickly secured the area. Robert Mafood and other family 
members were interviewed and Class-B amnestics were applied 
where necessary. 


+ Open Interview-3724-A 


Interviewed: Robert Mafood 

Interviewer: Researcher Daniel Beck 
Foreword: Robert Mafood was the first known 
individual to trigger an active state in 
SCP-3724 and is the brother of Deana 
Richmond, one of the former residents of 
SCP-3724. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Beck: Good afternoon Mr. Mafood 
Robert: Please, call me Robert 


Dr. Beck: Ok Robert, | just need to ask you a 
few questions in regards to what happened on 
the twelfth of March. 


Robert: You mean when | was attacked by 
those fucking dogs? 


Dr. Beck: Yes, why were you at the residence 
on that day? 


Robert: It’s my sister’s place, well -er it was 
my sister’s place. She uh, she died last week, 
car accident. 


Dr. Beck: |’m sorry to hear that- 


Robert: Not just her, Rebecca, Jason, Phillip, 
dead, all of them, because some bitch texting 
on her phone ran a red light. 


Dr. Beck: | understand you're upset but if we 
could just stick to the questions, please. 


Robert: Ok fine *pauses* sorry its just been 
rough you know? 


Dr. Beck: | understand, ok so you were at 
your sister's house, why? 


Robert: To pick up their dogs, with all that was 
happening with Deana we just kind of forgot 
about them so mom told me to pick them up, 
get them some food and keep them at my 
place. 


Dr. Beck: Ok, what happened when you got 
there? 


biological change, apart from the aforementioned memory 
adjustment. 


Medical pills or tablets of any kind which are placed in SCP-483 
become SCP-483-1. Individuals affected by SCP-483-1 will 
remember accurately how many years have passed since certain 
events in their lives, excepting the ingesting subject's date of birth. 
Affected individuals may be convinced that their interpretation of the 
subject's age is wrong and revise it; further ingestion of SCP-483-1 
by the original subject will reduce the revised age. 


Addendum 483-a: 


SCP-483 was recovered from the home of , after wide 
discrepancies were reported between his medical records and 
physical condition with regard to his age. __'s official documents, as 
well as his nearby relatives and friends, reported that he was 8 
years old, though they could recall events involving him over a 
decade ago.A_ -year-old newspaper story listing his name 
corroborated this discrepancy. His physical stature and development 
showed that he was at least 20 years of age, and his growth rate 
was that of a normal human. Upon confiscation and discovery of the 
effect of SCP-483-1, subject was terminated and his records 
corrected. 


Addendum 483-b: 


If SCP-483-1 is ingested in a quantity greater than an organism's 
original age, the organism loses all memory aside from functional 
memory (skills, language, etc.), all existing recorded information 
regarding the subject vanishes, and all those who knew the subject 
lose any and all memories regarding the subject. When questioned 
as to past events having involved the subject, affected individuals 
simply note there having been "another person" or "a stranger" 
present. 


Note: /'ve always been paranoid about memetic and mind-altering 
effects. Lucky for me, my countermeasures saved my memory from 
the overdose. Unfortunately, however, I've lost my clearance, 
seniority, staff, awards, retirement date, and the opportunity to have 
my aging mother ever recognize me again. Fixing at least some of 


Robert: | pull up, step outside the car and | 
see one of the dogs on the balcony and as 
soon as it sees me it starts barking at me. 
Now, | was supposed to pick up THREE dogs, 
“Robert gestures the number three with his 
hands* THREE so Imagine my shock when a 
fucking ocean of dogs started pouring from the 
house. From the open windows, through the 
front grill, they just kept fucking coming and 
they were pissed. They fucking swarmed me 
like ants and bit the shit out of me, they were 
climbing on top of each other trying to get to 
my throat and push me over, they were prissy 
dogs but they were an army of prissy dogs, 
there must have been fucking hundreds of 
them. 


Dr. Beck: So how did you get away? 


Robert: | pulled them off of me, jumped back 
into the car and locked the doors. That didn’t 
stop them though they just kept coming, 
jumping on the hood of the car, climbing over 
each other onto the sunroof so | put it in 
reverse and fucking peeled out of there. | 
could hear my tires crunching as | ran over 
some of them but | didn’t give a fuck at that 
point. 


Dr. Beck: Were you familiar with your sister's 
dogs? 


Robert: I've seen them in photos and maybe 
once a while on the holidays but | doubt | 
made an impression. 


Dr. Beck: Do you remember where she got 
them? 


Robert: She didn't get them, Phillip got them 
after their house got broken into last
