SCP-2195-1 body structure is radically different from that of normal 
infants; SCP-2195-1 are presumed to have the shape of an ellipsoid 
roughly 60 cm long and 50 cm in circumference, and mass of 9 to 
9.5 kg. The physiology of tissues covering the front and back ends is 
identical to that of somewhat calloused human skin; the rest of the 
skin is sohacelated, metamorphised, parchment-like and fused with 
the underlying bone (no muscles and/or fat tissues are present). 
Ribs grow away from the whole length of the spine (55 to 56 pairs of 
ribs in total); the ribs are flattened and fused along their whole 
length, which creates a solid bone capsule with the pelvis and the 
skull fused immovably to its respective ends. 


The skull is small, streamlined forwards and has radial symmetry. 
The only orifice facing outside is a large eye socket on the front end 
of the body, which contains an anatomically normal eye with a 
transparent protective membrane. No auditory apparatus is present, 
but the inner ear vestibular system is extremely developed. 


The pelvic section also has radial symmetry and serves as an 
attachment point for four identical limbs facing upwards and 
downwards diagonally. These limbs are around 10 centimeters long 
and contain a single pointed bone, which is connected to the pelvis 
by a ball-and-socket joint, resembling the human hip joint or 


shoulder joint. Their freedom of movement is severely restricted by 
the joint's position within the body, as well as rigid tendons; 
nonetheless they are fitted with powerful muscles intended to turn 
the limb around its axis. An orifice with a sphincter is located 
between these limbs, which leads to a small dead-end cavity with 
richly innervated walls. 


Inner organs are mostly either rudimentary or missing, which makes 
SCP-2195-1's life expectancy to be 10 to 15 minutes, unless 
sustained by an external life support system. Apart from the 
aforementioned sensory organs, central nervous system and 
muscles, only the circulatory system is developed, which includes 
major vessels, the heart and an organ that resembles a radically 
altered spleen; said organ has thick, myoglobin-rich walls that can 
accumulate a certain amount of oxygen and release it into the blood, 
and filters carbon dioxide out of the blood. There is also a small 
cluster of electrocytes, which is connected via nerves to the cardiac 
conducting system. 


Aside from the front and back ends, the majority of SCP-2195-1 
body is occupied by tissue that structurally resembles liver tissue 
with extreme adipose degeneration (vacuoles amount for 97% of its 
volume and even more than that in mass); instead of fat, the 
vacuoles contain a complex organic substance that has pronounced 
explosive properties. 


Its exact parameters cannot be determined due to the irregularity of 
the remaining biological components’ amount within tissues, as well 
as due to the the substance's own nature (Supposedly, a mix of 
several compounds with similar properties in varying proportions). 
Approximate properties can be described as such: 


* Density: 1.8-1.9 g/cm 

* Specific energy of explosion: 9.2 MJ/kg 

* Explosive strength (measured by Trauzl test): 670 cm3 

¢ Brisance (measured by Kast test): 8 mm 

Detonation velocity: 8300-8500 m/s 

Sensitivity: 70% explosions with a 10 kg weight dropped from 
a height of 25 cm. 

Amount of tissue in an instance of SCP-2195-1: 7.5 to 8 kg, 
explosive yield up to 25 kg of TNT equivalent. 


According to the documents, SCP-2195-1 have a gestation time of 
40 weeks which is normal to humans. They were also naturally born, 
but subject to the following operative treatment immediately after 
birth: 


¢ catheterization of 2 major vessels for connection to life 
support system; 

installation of a metal clamp along the spine which acts as a 
band for a suspension mount; 

* mounting of reinforced plastic fins on the limbs; 

* fitting the front end with a transparent nose cone. 


After that SCP-2195-1 were subject to three-week training in a wind 
tunnel fitted with elastic suspension systems and an image projector 
to display various battlefield scenes as seen from above. For that 
purpose, a device for electrical nerve stimulation was inserted into 
the orifice at the rear end of SCP-2195-1; the higher the achieved 
targeting precision, the greater the stimulation. The SCP-2195-1 
specimens were thus trained to develop visual recognition skills for 
various targets, and trained to control their flight using limb-mounted 
aerofoil planes. During the training, the electric organ, which 
functions as a detonator, was to be temporarily disabled by means 
of paralytic agent injections. 


Following the training SCP-2195-1 was to be tattooed with an 
emblem of the target it was trained for, put into a state of suspended 
animation and packed into a shipping container for later use as a 
homing high explosive bomb. 


The documentation found as part of SCP-2195 is mostly typewritten 
in a language having minute differences with modern French, 
although the origin of names and toponyms mentioned within seems 
to be more English. No similarities with modern geography were 
found. The name of the state is never mentioned; instead, «Notre 
Patrie» («Our Fatherland») is listed even in official office, position 
and department names, which is often abbreviated to NP (e.g., 
«Président de NP»). 


According to the information contained within, the state waged a 
long and slaughterous offensive war on another state's territory, 
which was not popular among its populace. State propaganda 


rationalization and the lingering phobia is thought to be a form of 
post-hypnotic suggestion. 


Subjects viewing video of agitated SCP-252 who have never been 
exposed directly experience a much less severe fear reaction and 
are able to perceive the squid despite the hallucinations. Subjects 
describe the illusory monster as "fake-looking" and "nonsensical" but 
still find it moderately frightening. After second-hand exposure, 
subjects develop a partial immunity to the full effects of direct 
exposure. Repeated direct contact after "inoculation" by video 
further lessens the effects. Acclimatized subjects can develop a 
complete immunity to the fear effect and experience only the 
vaguest awareness of the hallucinations. 


Addendum: SCP-252 came to Foundation attention after numerous 
reports of "sea monster" sightings by commercial fishermen off the 
coastof  . Agent secured a specimen at greater than usual 
personal danger. Commendation for performance above and 
beyond the call of duty recommended. Agent allowed himself to 
be exposed to SCP-252's effects during first contact. Initial 
containment procedures were based on his reports of the 
specimen's size and physical capabilities, resulting in an excessive 
expenditure of resources. Disciplinary action recommended, 
pending oversight review.

efforts were not sufficient to subdue the growing pacifist movement 
which was especially strong among the soldiers' mothers. The arms 
industry was also on the verge of decline. The documented project 
was proposed in order to solve both problems, and was meant to 
implant embryos of SCP-2195-1 into all fertile women under the 
guise of various mandatory medical procedures. The surge of "living 
bombs" born afterwards was announced as a natural event, a 
manifestation of mass consciousness, the will of the people, and an 
evidence of charitability! of the military intervention taking place. 
Another important factor was the mother's blood relationship which 
required a mother to unconditionally support her child's "voluntary 
effort", which in turn demanded her to abolish any pacifist beliefs 
and/or made her an indirect participant of the bombings, with 
personal responsibility forced on her later on. 


Note: this shows drastic differences of ethical norms between our 
society and the one described. It is hard to imagine that measures 
like these would have any effect in any state we know, yet 
SCP-2195 documents describe them as extremely effective yet 
highly immoral, although only in the sense that both the higher will 
and the blood relationship were falsified, therefore the highest 
values were fraudulently exploited. 


However, various events that took place during the project's 
development, should they have become public, would have brought 
sharp discredit on it, due to both their negative nature, and the fact 
that the nature and sheer amount of these events contradicted the 
idea of higher force's mercy and justice, therefore making the 
“higher will" explanation unviable. 


First and foremost, SCP-2195 contains evidence of numerous 
complicating disorders during pregnancy and birth: 


¢ Various fetal pathologies and deformities, miscarriages, cases 
of stillbirth. Preserved samples included. 

¢« Numerous cases of ectopic pregnancy. Several postmortem 
specimens and a variety of medical records are available. 
Vast majority of these cases resulted in the mother's death or 
loss of fertility, which was grounds for euthanasia. 

¢ Birth trauma and cases of mothers' deaths at birth due to the 
fetus’ size and rigid structure. Medical records available. 


* Acute, often life-threatening toxicoses caused by metabolic 
byproducts during explosive substance formation inside fetus. 
Several in-depth research papers, histological samples and 
body fluid samples available. 

« Anemia, dangerous exhaustion of the mother's body due to 
the fetus’ accelerated growth. An essay of observations 
concerning this issue is available. 

¢ Multifetal gestation which almost inevitably caused 
pathologies. Cases of SCP-2195-1 conjoined twins. A range 
of medical records available. The majority of such 
pregnancies were aborted due to critical situations; preserved 
fetus samples available. 

¢ Hyperplasia, fermental chorionic hyperactivity, or detrimental 
chorion deformation leading to formation of multiple large 
synechiated folds. Hyperactivity, abnormal growth or improper 
position of the resulting placenta caused destruction of uterine 
walls, mouth of the womb, or fallopian tubes. Preserved 
samples, extensive studies and medical records available. 
Numerous descriptions of deaths due to internal bleeding and 
cases of euthanasia due to loss of fertility after operative 
treatment are also available. 

* Spontaneous fetus detonations on latter stages of pregnancy. 
Investigation reports, autopsy protocols, and an archive of 
media reports are available. Collateral damage and fatalities 
are described, with the cause presented by propaganda as 
"immoral conduct that is disgracing motherhood". No details of 
said conduct were provided, although the manner this 
description is used in suggests that it is a common 
euphemism for some specific deeds. 


Another class of materials regards the project's social 
consequences. It is composed mostly of the following media 
archives: 


¢ Cases of pregnant women committing suicide. The reason 
was most often declared as strong pacifistic beliefs. A shot to 
the belly was specifically popular, which often caused 
SCP-2195-1 to detonate. A series of suicides was committed 
in public for demonstration purposes, some cases were 
essentially acts of terrorism in popular places, which led to 


fatalities. One such act was committed in a maternity welfare 
center which caused a chain reaction and large-scale 
destruction. 

Several attempts of fertile women to dodge medical 
supervision, have an independent birth and nurture 
SCP-2195-1 on their own, always futile due to the latter's 
inviability. 

An incident with a high-ranking government official, who was 
also part of the project, attempting to make compromising 
information related to the project public during a speech. The 
speech was interrupted, and the official in question arrested, 
declared incurably mentally ill, and subsequently euthanized. 


Note: it should be noted that no cases of an illegal abortion were 
described. 


A third class of documents is composed of scientific and design 
documents related to the project's development and implementation. 
These materials’ level of classification is related to three basic facts: 
the need to conceal SCP-2195-1 true origins in order to support the 
propaganda, contradiction with conventional ethics and the current 
law that makes cloning, genetic engineering and similar activities 
illegal, as well as to the wide use of SCP-2195-1 samples for tests 
and experiments. A large part of these documents is encrypted, their 
contents are currently unknown. The materials available for study 
include: 


¢ Prototypes and early samples of SCP-2195-1. 

¢ Presentation materials prepared for acceptance inspection 
hearings, instructional materials and demonstration samples, 
visual aids, and mock-ups. Both artificial products and real 
SCP-2195-1 samples preserved through plastic infusion or 
stored in synthetic resin blocks. 

Modified SCP-2195-1 prototypes and related documents for a 
project aiming to make homing artillery shells by converting 
SCP-2195-1. The attempt failed, no instances of SCP-2195-1 
that could withstand the acceleration at the moment of the 
shot could be created. 

Prototypes and documentation for another attempt to modify 
SCP-2195-1. They were supposed to be fitted with a rocket 


engine and used as homing missiles. Tests were successful, 
but the modification was declared unpractical for economic 
reasons, as cheap SCP-2195-1 were to be fitted with factory- 
made components. 

* Government decree to recall and collect or destroy all 
compromising evidence. The document mentions some event 
that aggravated the situation around the project and 
compromised its secrecy; this could have been the 
aforementioned public speech. It is assumed that the whole of 
SCP-2195 was composed as fulfillment of said decree. 

¢ An index of all collected materials. Only codes are listed 
instead of titles for encrypted documents, along with a 
reference to the document with these codes' breakdown (also 
encrypted). 


During my time in the Foundation's employ I've seen worse, but I'd 
still like to believe that there never was a place where things like 
these are made on a national scale, and this object is only a 
miscarriage of some alternate history branch or a material 
manifestation of some perverted fantasy. | hope to never know the 
true state of things. — Dr. 


Addendum 1: Discovery 


SCP-2195, contained in 19 standard shipping containers was initially 
discovered on . .2009 by Federal Security Service of Russia 
operatives during an inspection as part of checking investigative 
information on weapons smuggling. The Foundation took over and 
investigated the cargo's origins. Its movements could be traced up 
to 1995; it was found that since 1995 the cargo was constantly 
moving across Russia by railroad and sea in a loop route. The 
transfers were paid for from an account established by an 
unidentified person in 1993 or earlier; no further information could be 
gathered due to loss of related documents. 


Investigations about the cargo escaping any inspections or 
searches, save for weight checks, is underway. According to weight 
checks information, the cargo remained untampered during the 
whole period; undamaged seals on container doors confirm that. 
This still does not explain how the cryonic tanks for storing biological 
samples were discovered 60% or more full despite requiring a 


coolant refill once every 6 months. 


Several hypotheses were proposed to explain this fact and the 
object's origin as a whole, but at the moment, there is a lack of 
evidence for any of them.
