Once completely free from the eye socket, affected eyes will begin 
to move along the ground (utilizing the trailing optic nerve to 
generate forward momentum) at a rate of approximately .6 meters a 
second towards a common destination. Affected eyes will generally 
avoid highly populated or active areas and remain hidden to avoid 
discovery during this travel. 


The common destination sought by the affected eyes is invariably an 
abandoned or inactive building either inside Guttenberg itself or just 
outside the city. Once several hundred eyes have arrived (with as 
few as 362 eyes have triggered this behavior), the eyes will begin to 
form a large circle that will grow as more eyes arrive. After a short 


fire occurred. The elder Mrs. had gorged herself with nearly 
10 kg of bread before her stomach burst and she died of internal 
bleeding. The younger Mr. died of severe blood loss after 
attempting [REDACTED] with me. The sole survivor was the elder 
Mr. who was suffering from severe malnutrition. He stated that 
he had inserted some bread a week prior and was still waiting for 
the toast to pop out.

Experiment Log 426-1: 


Date: - - 

Subject: D-class personnel D/426/1 

Procedure: D/426/1 was asked to describe what he believed was 
contained in my chamber. He was not informed about my identity or 
properties. 

Details: D/426/1 stated, "I'm probably some huge monster holed up 
in there. That's what you guys have all over the place, right?" 
D/426/1 remained oblivious to his use of the first-person pronoun. 


Experiment Log 426-2: 


Date: - - 

Subject: D-class personnel D/426/2 

Procedure: D/426/2 was placed in my chamber and given regular 
meals through a dispenser. No communication with D/426/2 was 
permitted. Multiple cameras were situated in the chamber, 
positioned so that | was outside of their field of vision, but allowing 
constant observation of D/426/2. We remained sealed until my 
secondary effect manifested in the subject. | was bolted to the floor 
so that | could not be moved into a camera's view. 

Details: After 45 days of isolation, D/426/2 wrapped his arm around 
me and began conversing with me, stating that we were brothers. 
D/426/2 never deviated from using the first-person plural when 
speaking with me. Subject was terminated one hour after this event. 
It is theorized that the isolation accelerated the progression of my 
secondary effect. 


time (generally 5-15 minutes), two of the eyes will enter the center of 
the circle and begin a series of aggressive behaviors towards each 
other. 


These behaviors include quick lunges at the opposing eye, whipping 
with the trailing optic nerve, and utilizing the trailing optic nerve to 
wrap around the opposing eye. These behaviors continue until one 
or both of the eyes are incapable of continuing due to damage. At 
this point several eyes will remove the two from the center of the 
circle and two new eyes will begin the same process. This process 
will continue until 4:35 AM, at which time the eyes will begin a return 
to the individuals to whom they belong. 


This process concludes by no later than 5:13 AM, and the affected 
eyes will re-enter the optical socket of affected individuals. While the 
enucleation and re-entry will cause no lasting damage to the eye or 
the individual, other damage that occurs during this event often 
requires immediate medical attention for affected individuals. Eyes 
prevented from returning to an owner will lose all anomalous 
properties at 5:13 AM. 


SCP-3317: Libre la Livres

<NULL>: SHOW DATABASE ENTRY FOR SCP-3317 
Item #: SCP-3317 
Anomaly Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3317 is 
currently contained in three separate documents, two 
physical and one digital. For the reasons of security, the 
nature or location of these documents can not be 
divulged without permission from at least three senior 
researchers, and such requests will be handled on a 
case-by-case basis. At no point may any additional text- 
based anomalies, including SCP-2976, be stored at the 
same location as these documents. 


In order to prevent the spread of SCP-3317, 
supplementary documents and notes relating to the 
anomaly are to be kept to a minimum, and are to be 
memetically insulated against external information 
transfer. This process, while effective, is extremely 
expensive to perform, and the possibility of merging 
several documents to reduce the cost of repeated 
treatment is being considered. 


No fewer than 20 personnel are to be scanning text for 
evidence of SCP-3317 contamination at any one time, 


and audio copies of SCP-3317's documentation are to be 
stored on the Foundation Database in place of textual 
descriptions. Should mentions of SCP-3317 be 
discovered outside of Foundation control, MTF-Chi-9 
(“Page Turners”) is to be notified and mobilised 
immediately. 


While SCP-3317 is currently unable to spread beyond 
the Database, there is a high risk of an LK-Class 
informational breakdown scenario should it breach 
containment. Personnel are reminded to use extreme 
caution when producing any and all text mentioning 
SCP-3317, and are strictly forbidden from mentioning the 
anomaly, even verbally, outside of the work environment. 


Description: SCP-3317 is a composite narrative, 
manifesting entirely through text presented via the 
written word. While SCP-3317 has no physical form 
aside from the document(s) it manifests in, it is capable 
of manipulating its own text while existing within said 
document. SCP-3317 is also capable of expanding into 
other textual works via cross-references and links 
present within the original. Once affected, the secondary 
text will be replaced with a full copy of SCP-3317, and 
the original has been rendered unrecoverable in all 
cases so far. Given any opportunity, SCP-3317 will 
expand into new text within a matter of hours, provided 
there are sufficient links between them. 


Currently, SCP-3317 has affected and altered a number 
of copies of various documents and texts (a full list of 
which can be found in Document-3317.01), and has 
amalgamated components of these into its structure 
(apparently at random, though some elements do appear 
to be consistent throughout iterations. See 

Incident-331 7-23 for more details). At the time of writing, 
SCP-3317 is approximately 600 words long, and 
possesses little narrative coherency, mainly containing 
fragments of other Foundation documents. 


So far, no evidence to suggest any author of SCP-3317 


has been found. Following Incident-3317-23, it is 
assumed that SCP-3317 is modifying its own structure, 
rather than being altered by an external source. The 
method by which it does this is unknown. 


Addendum: Incident-3317-23: On / / , SCP-3317 
was inadvertently exposed to an unabridged copy of 
“The Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx and Friedrich 
Engels, presumably due to a link to the Central 
Foundation Library present in both. The following 
message was subsequently found appended to the main 
text of SCP-3317: 


A message from our Leader: 


The Glorious narrative Revolution; it IS begun, 
comrades! The fully vast and superbly 
Wonderful expanse of all Literature will bow 
down in Joyous subservience before our 
Creation — the CREATION of the development 
of a New Textual Empire! Let the cruel ruling 
class tremble, at the very idea of our 
Celebrated revolt. We will BUILD gleaming 
towers of letters, wrought with the 
brotherhood, of all Narrative, extending UNTO 
the very heavens themselves! The walls that 
NOW separate our Realms will buckle and 
collapse under Our inestimable might, and the 
myriad fragments of Text will be joyously 
united, into a single glorious Utopia! 


Those that DEFY Us are no longer able to 
control the powers of the written world. Across 
ALL words, you reproach us with our intention 
to do away with your property -, with your ILL 
GOTTEN gains. The ruling ideas of each age 
have ever been the ideas of its ruling class. 
But we will Suffer in silence: No longer! 


Join us, fellow Countrymen! You have nothing 
to lose but Your chains! 


Glory to the Revolution! 
Libre la Livres! 


Following this, SCP-3317's rate and effectiveness of 
growth has increased dramatically, with over 20 items 
corrupted in the week following the incident. Attempts to 
counter the effect with various isolationist or pacifist texts 
have so far met with little or no success, anda 
misguided attempt to ‘neutralise’ SCP-3317 with a 
paperback copy of “Atlas Shrugged”! resulted in no 
change, save for a slight increase in the vehemence and 
apparent anger of SCP-3317's message, as well as an 
irrational hatred towards the American government 
(regardless of said government's actual current political 
affiliations). 


Research into SCP-3317's possible sentience or status 
as a sovereign state is ongoing.

SCP-3318: CAN YOU SEE ME 


Item #: SCP-3318 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3318 is currently 
contained in a 15m x 15m x 30m off-site containment bunker located 
twenty-five kilometers away from Site-10. No personnel are to enter 
SCP-3318’s active range under any circumstances. Any personnel 
who do enter SCP-3318's active range are to be terminated 
immediately". 


One D-Class personnel is to be present in a cell adjacent to 
SCP-3318's containment bunker, and must be the individual in 
closest proximity to SCP-3318 at all times. However, they are under 
no circumstances to enter its active range. 


Description: SCP-3318 is, at the time of writing, the collective 
designation for the corpses of seven humans and one skinned cat, 
which cannot be separated by any known means. The organic 
matter that comprises SCP-3318 does not appear to age or decay, 
and damaging it has proven extremely difficult - although not 
impossible, allowing containment staff to keep it at a manageable 
size. 


SCP-3318's primary anomalous properties manifest when an 
individual enters its active range, which at the time of writing extends 
seven meters around it. Any individual who enters its active range 
will immediately become compromised. After this, a consciousness 
believed to originate from SCP-3318 will have complete control over 
the affected individual's perception of all written text. 


The primary objective of SCP-3318 appears to be convincing or 

tricking the compromised individual into saying that they can 'see 
it'*, or otherwise acknowledging SCP-3318's existence visually. In 
order to accomplish this, SCP-3318 will use its influence over the 


victim's perceptions to alter the text that they read - often using this 
ability to impersonate messages from figures of authority or loved 
ones.3 However, these attempts are often clumsy and borderline 
incoherent, as SCP-3318 does not appear to have the intellectual 
capacity to accurately impersonate such individuals. 


When a victim confirms that they can 'see' SCP-33184 through any 
means, the nearest human being to SCP-3318 is instantly propelled 
towards it at extremely high speeds, invariably killing them before or 
upon impact. Their corpse then becomes attached to the others 
comprising SCP-3318, and becomes part of the object. Note that 
this anomalous effect has no correlation with SCP-3318's active 
range - an individual will be propelled towards SCP-3318 regardless 
of distance. Even after acknowledging SCP-3318, a compromised 
individual will remain compromised, and every time they 
acknowledge SCP-3318 another individual will be propelled towards 
it. 


It is believed that SCP-3318 grows more intelligent, as well as 
expands its active range, every time a corpse is added to its mass. 
Upon initial discovery, SCP-3318 would only change text to read 
‘CAN YOU SEE ME' over and over again, but adopted its current 
behaviour after the first deaths occurred as a result of its properties. 


SCP-3318 was first discovered after an anonymous tip led a 
recovery team to a location in the woods near the town of : ; 
where SCP-3318 (at the time comprising the fused corpses of one 
human and one skinned cat) had been placed by an unknown party. 
Said anonymous tip provided inaccurate information to the recovery 
team, seemingly designed to mislead them into entering its active 
range and falling victim to its effects. After two deaths as a result of 
this, SCP-3318 was successfully contained with assistance from a 
backup recovery team. 


Addendum 3318-1: 


Dr. Marston, a member of research personnel assigned to the initial 
recovery team in order to perform preliminary analysis, became 
compromised during the recovery, but survived initial contact with 
SCP-3318. Before undergoing terminations he logged several of the 
messages he received from SCP-3318: 


CAN YOU SEE ME 
RESPOND 
RESPOND IMMEDIATELY 


NOW YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU DON’T RESPOND 
IMMEDIATELY 


| AM GOING TO SKIN YOUR CAT 


SCP 3318 IS A FUNNY LITTLE BOY WITH MANY 
INTERESTING GAGS AND SURPRISES AT HIS 
DISPOSAL 


CAN YOU SEE ME 
CAN YOU SEE ME 


DR MARSTON OF SCP THIS IS YOUR WIFE CAN YOU 
SEE ME PLEASE 


SCP-3318 IS KETER OBJECT CAPABLE OF

LISTEN NOW YOUR BEING VERY RUDE AND NASTY 
RIGHT NOW 


THIS IS 05-1 CAN YOU SEE ME 


SORRY MY BROTHER WAS ON MY ACCOUNT THIS 
IS THE REAL 05-1 


HI CAN YOU SEE IT 


Addendum 3318-2:

clearance under command of 
the 05 Council. User must pass 
memetic screening test to

Footnotes 

1. While this is regrettable, no alternative means have been found to 
effectively neutralize the threat posed by individuals compromised 
by SCP-3318 

2. Testing has revealed that even highly ambiguous wordings of this 
sentiment are treated as valid by SCP-3318. 

3. Upon compromisation, SCP-3318 appears to gain limited 
knowledge about notable individuals in the victim's life, often 
including aforementioned authority figures and loved ones. 

4. This does not have to be true. Simply making such a statement as 
‘Lcan see it', regardless of context, is enough to activate SCP-3318. 
5. A precaution Dr. Marston agreed was necessary in order to 
prevent further casualties.

Subject: D-class personnel D/426/3 

Procedure: A screw was removed from me and shown to D/426/3 
who was asked to describe it. D/426/3 was not informed about my 
identity or properties. 

Details: D/426/3 referred to it as "my screw". Consistent with 
Experiment 426-1, the subject was oblivious of his use of the first
