¢ Instances typically move at speeds of 1 to 5 kilometers per 
hour relative to Earth, though have been measured to reach 
up to 87 kph. 

¢ Instances of SCP-2990 are capable of traveling underground 
or above the atmosphere, though only 12 instances have 
been recorded to do so. 

¢ Instances of SCP-2990 tend to avoid populated areas, such 
as cities or towns, and remain in natural environments. 


Addendum 2990-A: During clean-up of Incident 2990-2, Agent 
reported they had obtained close-ups of a polymeric instance of 
SCP-2990, consisting of what appeared to be polyethylene 
terephthalate granules (PET). Researchers noticed small engravings 
that were later determined to form two paragraphs:

Incident 2990-1: On / /2003, several instances of SCP-2990 were 
reported to have emerged from Kovalevsky Forest, Russia. Field 
operatives discovered what appeared to be a single motionless 
instance of SCP-2990 (hereby referred to as SCP-2990-A), from 
which several instances were emerging. All agents described 
SCP-2990-A falling to the ground while making a facial expression 
of surprise. It appeared to have become tangible, and was 
transported to Site-45. 


Researchers have affirmed that the instance is composed entirely of 
concrete and aluminum slag. Later analysis revealed that 
SCP-2990-A's expression had changed to a contented smile from 
discovery to transportation. Surveillance of its transportation unit 
also reveals an faintly audible whisper originating from the statue, 
believed to be transcribed as "We have (succeeded?) now. We are 
safe." Testing for any other anomalous properties is underway.

SCP-359: The Hawk 


Item #: SCP-359 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-359 is to be contained 
within a 30mx30mx30m concrete structure. This structure is not to 
be entered between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. local 
standard time. Any monitoring of SCP-359 during these hours is to 
be done via security cameras installed within the structure. 


SCP-359 is to be fed one adult pig every other day. Acceptable 
substitutions to this diet must be cleared with Agent and Dr. 

. All remnants of SCP-359's prey are to be completely cleaned 
out of the containment structure by 8:45 p.m. the following day. 


Description: SCP-359 appears to be a metal sculpture of a red- 
tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) with a wingspan of approximately 
4.3 m, perched atop a 12 meter arch. During daylight hours (approx. 
6:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. local standard time), it displays no signs of 
movement and does not respond to any external stimuli. However, it 
has been determined by the Foundation that between the hours of 
9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. it displays the typical behaviors of an adult 
red-tailed hawk, apart from being nocturnal. SCP-359 is apparently 
capable of flight - the mechanisms through which it accomplishes 
this have not been determined, as its wings are too short to allow for 
flight. 


SCP-359 was originally located just south of , inthe United 
States. It first came to the Foundation's attention when local 
foresters began finding dead bodies of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus 
virginianus) in the area within a 1km radius of the sculpture, which 
looked to have been preyed upon. The white-tailed deer has no 
natural predators in the state of _ . Investigation officially began on 
[DATA EXPUNGED] when motorists on the stretch of State Route 
that passes by SCP-359 reported that the hawk was not on top of 


SCP-2991: "Scarf" 


Item #: SCP-2991 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2991 is to be kept ina 
standard secure locker at Site-77. Level-2 clearance is required for 
access to the item and any corresponding documentation. 
Designated personnel are to remove SCP-2991 from containment 
for one hour every week to maintain continued responsiveness. Any 
interactions that occur with SCP-2991 are to be properly recorded 
and submitted for review by the senior researcher currently assigned 
to SCP-2991. 


Description: SCP-2991 is a striped multicolored scarf of variable 
length. In its inert state, SCP-2991 is approximately 0.8 meters long; 
at the time of its recovery, SCP-2991 was noted to have small 
sections of its fringe missing. The original manufacturer of the object 
is currently unknown due to fading on the tag. SCP-2991 was 
initially discovered within a non-anomalous cardboard box labeled 
"Scarf's Box", containing scraps of yarn consistent with SCP-2991's 
composition. As such, it is believed that SCP-2991's base 
components are not inherently anomalous. 1 


Based on current experimentation, SCP-2991 is theorized to 
possess some level of sapience, as well as a docile demeanor (see 
Interview Log 2991- ). SCP-2991 is able to adjust its length; the 
extent of this ability is unknown, though the longest SCP-2991 has 
managed to extend itself thus far (before reverting to its usual 
length) is 1.5 meters. SCP-2991 is additionally capable of limited 
movement, and exhibits simple behaviors similar to those of sapient 
beings.2 


SCP-2991 has recently been observed communicating with 
researchers in the past few months by rolling itself along its width to 
become thinner, after which it will move to form individual letters for 


the researchers to transcribe. It is of note that SCP-2991 will only 
respond to simple English speech, generally becoming 
unresponsive if words involving more than two syllables are used. 
The following is one of the interviews transcribed by the Foundation: 


Interview Log 2991- 
Dr. Mercer: Hi there. How do you feel? 
SCP-2991: BORED 
Dr. Mercer: Sorry about that. 
SCP-2991: PLAY 


Dr. Mercer: First, can | ask you about the box we found 
you in? 


SCP-2991: OK 

Dr. Mercer: How did you end up there? 

SCP-2991: MY HOUSE 

Dr. Mercer: Okay. Do you know where your owner is? 
SCP-2991: WORK 


Dr. Mercer: | see. Do you know why you had to stay in 
the box? 


SCP-2991: NOT FUN ENOU [at this point, SCP-2991 
twists itself into a loop and turns over repeatedly, as if 
confused] 


Dr. Mercer: Were you made to be fun? 


SCP-2991: YES [slight pause, while SCP-2991 rolls and 
unrolls itself before forming new letters] MAYBE 


Dr. Mercer: What were you made to do? 


SCP-2991: [SCP-2991 reaches out and curls itself 


around Dr. Mercer's wrist, letting the fringed end sit in his 
palm. SCP-2991 then begins slow undulations consistent 
with its sleep behavior, ending the interview. ] 


Addendum 2991-1: SCP-2991 was initially recovered from a small 
studio apartment in : . Further investigation of , the 
now-absent tenant of the apartment SCP-2991 was discovered in, is 
underway. Among the documents recovered from the apartment 
was a wall calendar with three appointments written, namely 
"interview", "demonstration / good job Scarf!", and "start new job!!!". 


It is of note that other small, unique objects were recovered from the 
apartment, including a bubble-blower in the shape of a one-eyed 
octopus, a scented throwing disc decorated with various fruits, and a 
hat with a solar-powered dancing flower on top. The additional items 
recovered have exhibited no anomalous effects, and are currently 
held in Site-77's low-priority storage unit. The box holding said 
items, now in storage as well, possesses no markings except for a 
stylized "w" and top hat logo drawn in ballpoint pen, along with the 
caption "demos". 


When asked to comment on the items, SCP-2991 stated the hat was 
"TOO BUSY", and of the disc, "DOCTOR SAID CUTE". The rest of 
the objects were dismissed with the comment "AFTER ME". 


Addendum 2991-2: On / / , Foundation personnel performing a 
routine inspection of the apartment discovered the following note on 
the coat closet door, held in place by the blade of a short knife.3 


TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 

Please return my Scarf to me. It is of no monetary value, 
and you may keep the other items you have taken. A 
reward will be given for its safe return. Please leave 
Scarf in the apartment, and when | have it back | will 
leave the reward. 

| WILL KNOW IF SCARF HAS BEEN HARMED. 


Discussion of further surveillance of the apartment is ongoing. 


Footnotes 
1. Attempts to remove samples of material from SCP-2991 for 


analysis have been discontinued, as SCP-2991 has exhibited 
severely distressed reactions when approached with any form of 
cutting implement. 

2. Examples of behaviors observed in experimental settings include 
fear, excitement, and weariness/sleeping. 

3. When removed from the door, the knife exploded in a shower of 
purple confetti. Confetti remains are currently in storage.

SCP-2992: Everything Flows Towards Cadence 


Item #: SCP-2992 


Object Class: Euclid Pending Keter Reclassification (See Interview 
2992-18) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2992 is kept in an 
anechoic chamber, furnished as a regular humanoid containment 
unit. All personnel interacting with SCP-2992 are to have scored a 
minimum of 4 on the Memetic And Mind-Affecting Resistance Exam. 
All personnel interviewing SCP-2992 are to have scored a minimum 
of 6 on the Memetic And Mind-Affecting Resistance Exam. In 
exchange for positive behavior, SCP-2992 is allowed one album of 
their choice at the beginning of every month. The album will be 
delivered in FLAC format and uploaded to their music player. 


Description: SCP-2992 is a physically normal African-American 
male of 1.8 meters in height and 62 kg in weight. SCP-2992 is 
currently 24 years of age and has brown eyes and hair. SCP-2992 
was born as Jayden Williams and has previously operated under the 
online pseudonym "Profetix". 


SCP-2992 has multiple memetic effects. A given subject may be 
affected by these effects by hearing certain sounds produced by 
SCP-2992 itself or listening to music that has been suggested by 
SCP-2992, either by word or on online playlists. Both methods of 
infection produce the same effects. 


SCP-2992's primary effect triggers when a given subject listens to 
one or more suggested songs. Once affected, a given subject will 
perceive the continuous playing of previously heard music. This 
continuous playing is interrupted only when the given subject listens 
to new music. This effect soreads when affected subjects suggest 
any music to others and the suggested music is listened to, 
regardless of source. 


SCP-2992's secondary effects include changes of behavior, such as 
the increased tolerance for different genres of music and a strong 
desire to seek more obscure music to listen to and suggest to 
others. These are also spread when they are expressed by an 
affected subject to others. 


SCP-2992 claims it had previously been a mundane human before 
contacting an unknown entity (tentatively referred to as 
SCP-2992-1). According to interviews, SCP-2992 claims that 
SCP-2992-1 is an intangible, sapient entity capable of existing 
wherever the memetic effect spreads. It is also apparently the cause 
of the memetic effects. It is unknown explicitly what the relationship 
between SCP-2992 and SCP-2992-1 is. However, it is currently 
believed that containment of SCP-2992 will also contain the 
tentative entity SCP-2992-1. See Interview 2992-18 for details. 


Further interviews with SCP-2992 are currently underway in order to 
verify SCP-2992-1's existence. 


Interview Log 2992-01 


Date: February 19, 2007 
Interviewer: Doctor Malcolm 
Interviewee: SCP-2992 


[BEGIN LOG] 
Dr. Malcolm: Hello, SCP-29- 


SCP-2992: Call me my name or we aren't 
having this conversation, Doctor. 


Dr. Malcolm: ...Jayden then. Could you 
answer a few questions for me please? We'll 
return you to your containment then. 


SCP-2992: [begins to tap on the table] An 
album. 


Dr. Malcolm: Excuse me? 


SCP-2992: | hear them, and they reach out to 


me like a thousand tiny hands. But | only have 
two arms, and | only have two ears to hear 
with but only one brain to process. The album, 
it's called . Its maker worked for 5 years on 
it before giving up to the white dragons. Album 
was left unheard on the net and the hard copy 
buried with him. I'll answer your questions, but 
give me the child. 


Dr. Malcolm: ...Very well. For cooperative 
behavior, | can agree to look for it. 


SCP-2992: You should give the child a listen 
too. | think would like to have two parents 
loving it. Y'know that's what people say's good 
for children. Two parents. It isn't quite enough 
for these kinds of children but they deserve at 
least what we consider standard. 


Dr. Malcolm: ...I'll, uh, think about it. Thank 
you for the recommendation, Jayden. Could 
you tell me more about your ability to... 
influence certain people? 


SCP-2992: [shifts tapping on table to tapping 
on the floor with right foot] It isn't my ability, 
doctor doctor. It's not really influencing 
anybody, just teaching them to open their ears 
a little more you know? Pay more attention to 
their children. Many of those who follow me 
have opened their ears and their hearts just a 
little. They'll open more in time, I've been sung 
to thus by the one that taught me to open my 
own. And now my soul is an etched viny| 
record of our burdens, so open that the tears 
of the unheard carve their eternal requiem into 
me, forever. 


Dr. Malcolm: Could you tell me about this 
entity? 


SCP-2992: Lovecraft the bard sang 
unflattering stories about their kind, but the 
bard sings all the songs he is paid to sing even 
if they aren't the truth, isn't that right? The truth 
sings its soliloquy loud, clear, but only to open 
hearts. | was open. | listened, though this 
mortal mind doesn't have enough storage 
space for a single beautiful word, a player can 
only hold so many songs. But they gave me 
another purpose. So here | play and listen to 
the harmonies under the melodies of life. 


Dr. Malcolm: What is... this purpose of yours? 


SCP-2992: To help forge a fairer relationship 
between children and makers, doctor doctor. 
[begins to whistle; the melody is later identified 
as a section of ‘Carolina Moon’ from 
Thelonious Monk] 


[END LOG] 


Notes: This is the first interview with 
SCP-2992, within three days of successful 
containment. It should be noted that the 
tapping SCP-2992 produced were following 
specific rhythms. These are assumed to be 
SCP-2992's attempt at spreading its memetic 
effects to Foundation personnel. Dr. Malcolm 
has since undergone observation for memetic 
influence and it is currently assumed the effect 
is either not noteworthy or nonexistent.
