All biological specimens extracted from SCP-257 are to be 
examined, logged, and removed from SCP-257. Biological 
specimens are to be placed in one of Site 93’s temporary holding 
pens for study and threat classification. If researchers identify 
specimens they deem worthy of further research, personnel are to 
fill out Form 257-12 and follow appropriate research protocols. 
Specimens are otherwise sent to Bio-Site 29 for storage and long- 
term care. 


Description: SCP-257 is an abandoned zoological garden and park 
located in , United Kingdom. The zoo itself, described as a 
"Collection of Curiosities" is named for a William Woodsworth, billed 
as “the greatest explorer and naturalist this side of Reality 12/3.14.” 
According to promotional materials found within SCP-257, the zoo 
was founded in 1899 to “educate the gentlemen and ladies of 
England about Nature, and the many strange Beasts encountered 
by Explorers on their Travels.” No permits, building licences, or 
planning permissions have been found that correspond to the 
location or appearance of SCP-257. 


Several signs and notices indicate that the zoo has been temporarily 
closed for maintenance, but the dilapidated appearance of the park 
and outdated equipment suggests that the park has been 


SCP-2241: No, I've only ever practiced. In the woods 
and stuff. 


Valdez: Has anyone ever caught you practicing? 
SCP-2241: | don't think so, | tried to keep it secret, but 
sometimes people go for walks in the woods and they 


might have saw me, but | don't think so. 


Valdez: Ok, that's good. What kinds of things can you 
do? 

SCP-2241: | can move stuff without touching it, but not if 
it's too far away or if it's too big. Only like a cup across a 
room or a person's arm or something. Sometimes it can 
sorta change as well. 


Valdez: What do you mean by "it can change", 
Cameron? 


SCP-2241: Sometimes when I'm moving something it 
changes to something | want. Like one time when | was 
moving a stone, it changed to look like a toy | lost. But it 
changed back after a while, b'fore | even got home. 
Valdez: Have you ever changed something on purpose? 
SCP-2241: Not really. Sometimes when | hear my 
parents yelling | wish they'd stop and they get distracted 
for a little bit but they usually go back to arguing. 
SCP-2241 becomes visibly upset 

Valdez: Do your parents fight often? 

SCP-2241: No. Not really. They don't mean to be angry. 


Valdez: Do they ever get angry at you? 


SCP-2241: Sometimes. Daddy says it's my fault. | should 


just try harder. Mommy gets mad when my ru-room is 
messy but | try to keep it clean, | d-don't want her to be 
mad. 

Sound of SCP-2241 sniffling 

Valdez: It's ok, Cameron. You- You're ok here. 
SCP-2241: Th-hank you. 

Valdez: You know that ordinary people wouldn't 
understand about these powers? And that some other 
people with powers might try to hurt you? 


SCP-2241: Yeah, heroes have to have a secret iden'ity. 


Valdez: Did you have a superhero name to protect your 
identity picked out? 


SCP-2241: I'm Cameron the cruth- Crusader. 


Valdez: That's a cool name, Cameron. Because of this 
danger, you're going to be staying here with the SCP 
Foundation for a while. Do you have any questions? 


SCP-2241: What does SCP mean, mister? 
Valdez: It means "Secure, Contain, Protect" 


SCP-2241: So it fights bad guys? Like SHIELD and the 
‘vengers? 


Valdez: That's right, Cameron. Like the Avengers.

Researcher Valdez's Closing Statement: SCP-2241 
appears to trust me and believe that the Foundation is 
attempting to help him as much as possible. SCP-2241's 
account is consistent with the early stages of a humanoid 
developing a reality-bending ability. SCP-2241 may have 


experienced abuse at the hands of its parents, leading to 
early development of said ability. In the event that a 
more developed ability is required for research, similar 
emotional stress can be applied by Foundation staff. 


Addendum 2241-01: Following initial testing, it seems that only a 
more developed ability will yield new data. Standard emotional 
manipulation and gaslighting techniques have had no effect thus far. 
Allowing a D-class to believe he has a valuable hostage in 
SCP-2241 and a chance to escape may provide the required 
emotional stimulus. 


Addendum 2241-02: During the hostage situation test, it became 
clear that SCP-2241 retains an aversion to violence it considers 
unnecessary. This is undesirable for testing purposes. Placing 
SCP-2241 in more direct and obvious danger following a violent 
incident may push it to use its abilities further. 


During this test, SCP-2241 showed direct control over changing the 
composition of a manipulated object; in this case, it was able to 
change a knife into a piece of chocolate. Researcher Valdez 
hypothesised that SCP-2241 was hungry during the event. 


Since the main testing event, it has shown semi-consistent use of 
this object transformation ability with a slightly extended range for 
telekinetic abilities. 


Addendum 2241-03: Pending further analysis of the data from the 
previous test, testing is now on hold by order of the Ethics 
Committee. After seeing a man killed and using its newly developed 
violent abilities, SCP-2241 has become unstable in a manner 
dangerous to both itself and the Foundation. A new Foundation 
psychiatrist is to be assigned to SCP-2241. 


Overridden by 05-3 upon receipt of full analysis. The data we are 
receiving has been judged to be worth the danger, and SCP-2241 
remains under the illusion that it is working with the Foundation. 
Testing will go ahead as planned. 


¢ SCP-2241 has stated that it intends to grow stronger to stop 
more people from dying, and this will help both it and us in this 


aim. Killing a man with a teleported bullet was a stroke of 
tactical genius from the SCP object. MTF-Theta-17 will be 
ready to respond during all further rounds of testing as a 
precaution. - 05-3 


Addendum 2241-04: Following recent rounds of O5-approved 
rapid-fire testing with added emotional risks (innocent bystanders 
and risk to SCP-2241's personal belongings), SCP-2241 has 
developed many further abilities consistent with reports of late-stage 
telekinetic reality benders. SCP-2241 can now consistently teleport 
matter and itself, act upon information from apparently several 
seconds in the future, and move or transform matter within twelve 
metres without directly viewing it. Hitherto unrecorded abilities, such 
as self-duplication, are also present. 


SCP-2241 has also shown good control over its abilities, expressing 
excitement about "leveling up," the desire to learn more soon and to 
better help the Foundation. Neurological and physiological 
monitoring during certain tests has brought some insight into the 
development of such abilities. Specific areas of the brain have been 
identified as key to anomalous perception and control, as described 
in document 2241-Neuro-23. 


+ Demonstrative sample of tests: 


Manipulation of non-SCP-classification anomalous 
objects ranging from simple movement and teleportation 
to complex puzzle solving: 


* SCP-2241 had some difficulty with anomalous 
object displacement at first, describing it as "like 
grabbing a bouncy ball that won't stop". This was 
soon overcome, and SCP-2241 was capable of 
manipulating the more complex objects with ease, 
only slowed in terms of puzzle-solving skills by the 
most complex object. Despite initially growing 
frustrated with this, SCP-2241 was delighted when 
the anomalous puzzle box contained his favourite 
brand of chocolate bar. 


Apparent danger to Foundation personnel from 


"malfunctioning" armed drones: 


* SCP-2241 turned the drones on each other, 
disarming the last by teleporting its weaponry 
away from it. 


Bomb disposal in the vicinity of "innocent civilian" D- 
class: 


* SCP-2241 appeared to absorb energy of bomb at 
time of explosion. This mechanism is not well 
understood, but is believed to be a transformation 
of kinetic energy to some form of equivalent 
potential energy. 


A "suicide bomber" attacking "innocent civilian" D-class 
with the stipulation that the bomber be taken alive. 


* SCP-2241 teleported bomb vest into explosive 
containment vessel, before rendering the bomber 
unconcious with a punch. Notable in that 
SCP-2241 did not punch with any unusual force or 
speed and therefore rendered the bomber 
unconcious via other anomalous means. 


Injured personnel needing to be moved with extreme 
precision. 


¢ Impromptu test, SCP-2241 was capable of 
teleporting a researcher who had fallen down 
some stairs to the nearest medical bay without 
displacement of broken collar bone or any 
discomfort on the part of the researcher. 


"Discovery" of bomb within SCP-2241's personal 
belongings. 


* SCP-2241 became enraged and teleported bomb 
a great distance into sky before it detonated. 
SCP-2241 took some time to calm down, 
repeatedly stating that "no one can take my things. 


It's not fair. I'm strong. I'm the crusader." Noted 
lack of precision with abilities when angry. Possibly 
deliberate show of rage. 


Stealing box from Foundation-modified bank vault 


* SCP-2241 managed to teleport in, take the box 
and "slow down" Foundation sensors after tripping 
them before they could transmit that someone had 
been detected. This was only discovered upon 
later analysis. Clear violation of causality by 
SCP-2241. SCP-2241 expressed no concern 
about activities of dubious morality - a clear 
change from even days ago. 


Long-range surprise attack by robotic mortar: 


* SCP-2241 became enraged and caught mortar 
bomb before throwing it back to the launcher at 
appromixately 1.4 times the speed of sound. 
Mortar detonated upon impact with mortar. 
SCP-2241 is clearly less precise in abilities and 
more violent generally while angry. Perception 
problems when angry also seem to be an issue. 
SCP-2241 was heard to say "I hate them. I'ma 
Foundation 'venger and | hate the bad guys and 
I'm gonna fight them all." 


Two "civilians" held hostage in rooms connected via 
bulletproof glass window by enemies with guns which 
SCP-2241 was informed were impervious to sabotage. 
SCP-2241 was also informed that the hostages could not 
be teleported without physical contact. SCP-2241 
instructed to rescue both hostages: 


* SCP-2241 duplicated self and teleported both 
hostages to Foundation "command post" 
simultaneously, before returning to capture both 
enemies. SCP-2241 reported nausea afterward 
but no other ill effects. Lack of attempts to do 
things SCP-2241 was told were impossible likely 


indicative of strong loyalty to, and belief in, the 
Foundation. This ability had not yet been 
confirmed among any known reality benders. 


The Ethics Committee formally recommends that testing be ceased 
while SCP-2241 receives treatment for severe emotional problems, 
and personnel are investigated. 


Overriden by O5-3. Testing will go anead as scheduled. Treatment 
of known problems will commence immediately afterward. Previous 
testing was approved with O5 clearance. 


Addendum 2241-05: In light of recent results, psychiatric treatment 
of SCP-2241 has been delayed in favour of invasive neurological 
testing with emphasis on closer monitoring of newly discovered 
hotspots during utilisation of anomalous abilities in live combat. 
Surgery will commence within the week and SCP-2241 will then be 
deployed against armed D-class from military backgrounds. 


Testing cancelled by Ethics Committee following routine review. 
Researcher Valdez under investigation, security clearance 
temporarily revoked. 


¢ Implanting a monitoring chip into a child this young can not be 
done without significant developmental damage in later years. 
This will cause catastrophic problems for both the child and 
long term containment, given his well developed capabilities. 
Additionally, deploying a child in combat, even under testing 
conditions, violates all moral norms. Personnel involved in 
sweeping the previous rapid-fire tests under the rug are under 
review. - Ethics Committee ID EC12A51 


Testing reinstated by order of O5-3. Research Valdez’ clearance 
restored. 


¢ These tests are more important than one SCP, regardless of 
whether it looks like a child. Long-term containment and 
observation is no longer a priority, given the utility of data we 
have collected via intensive testing in the short term. The risk 
of the SCP breaching containment is minimal, given its loyalty. 
We now know which parts of the brain deal with certain 


anomalous abilities. With more detail, we can see how. We 
may even learn how to induce these abilities - and we will 
definitely learn how to neutralise them. - O5-3 


Testing cancelled by O5-4 and O5-7 following investigation of 
researcher complaints. Researcher Valdez held by security 
personnel pending council meeting. 


¢ This is too far. We can not let this stand as precedent. This is 
but one step removed from child soldiers and even less 
removed from militarising an SCP-level object. - 05-4. 


Testing reinstated by majority Overseer vote following emergency 
council meeting. Researcher Valdez exonerated. Testing will go 
ahead at the end of the week, assuming no complications. 


* | believe the results will justify both the risks and the means. 
We are closer than ever to understanding the mechanism by 
which human brains interact with extranormal phenomena. 
The emotional and eventual neurological damage to 
SCP-2241 is... unfortunate but it is also necessary for the 
advancement of our understanding. In addition, due to the 
new modification of the monitoring hardware, 2241 can be 
neutralised quickly should it become a threat at any time after 
the surgery. - Researcher Valdez.

SCP-2242: Technical Difficulties 


Item #: SCP-2242 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Refinement of the next iteration 
of FOS! is currently in the final stages of testing before full-scale 
rollout to all Foundation servers, workstations, and mobile devices. 
Confirmation that SCP-2242 has not migrated is still pending final 
determination by Technical Researcher David Rosen.1 


Following the changeover, a small LAN2 of approximately twelve 
stations will be maintained with FOS 14.1 at Site 15 for future 
surveillance and potential information exchange opportunities. 
Additional devices may be temporarily reverted to FOS 14.1 for 
research purposes at other facilities with approval from staff of 
Security Clearance 3/2242. 


In the event of future SCP-2242 manifestations outside of FOS 14.1, 
non-essential access to all Foundation servers will be suspended 
until reversion to a stable and uninfected software iteration is 
completed. 


Until total neutralization of SCP-2242 has been confirmed, digital 
storage of the following on any iteration of FOS is prohibited: 


¢ All documents requiring Level 5 Security Clearance. 

¢ All documents pertaining to extradimensional communication, 
dislocation, and integration. 

¢ Personnel files which have been updated within the last 90 
days. 


Description: SCP-2242 is a phenomenon affecting FOS 14.13 and 
all records accessed using this software. No prior iterations have 
displayed any similar anomalous properties. SCP-2242 is currently 
understood to be an extradimensional connection to the intranet
