During an intrusion, SCP-2238 will play a similar documentary to the 
one being interrupted. This documentary, now known as SCP-2238- 
A, will have several deviations from the original, such as different 
events, different historians, and actors used in the documentary.2 
The amount of deviations from the original vary between each 
instances of SCP-2238-A. Currently, there are twenty-two instances 
of SCP-2238-A.3 


The first reported SCP-2238 event was on 5-12-1992, when a 


civilian reported to a local broadcasting service about the 
inaccuracies of the documentary Napoleon: Man Of Power in 
[REDACTED], Alabama. The documentary discusses the effects of 
Napoleon Bonaparte's annexation of Russia and over a majority of 
the Eurasian continent. 


Addendum-2238.1 
Foundation scientists and analysts have compiled a full timeline of 
events from all twenty-two instances of SCP-2238-A. 


Timeline 


Year Events 

1812 Invasion of Russia by 
Napoleon, ending in its 
annexation. The war of 
T8712 begins. 

1813 Napoleon Ill is installed as 
the new Czar of Russia. 
Closer diplomatic ties 
between the US 
government and the new 
French Empire occur. The 
Peninsular War ends one 
year earlier in a French 
victory. 

1814 France becomes involved in 
a war against Great Britain. 
A three year famine occurs 
in Russia due to an early 
winter, creating more 
resentment against the 
French-installed Russian 
government. In the same 
year, the formation of the 
Party of Russian 
Nationalists occurs. 

1815 War of 1812 ends witha 
US/French victory. Most of 
the former British Empire is

split between the US and 
France. US annexes 
Canada, causing it to 
control most of the fur trade. 
The US government begins 
encouraging its citizens to 
settle Canada and Australia. 
Napoleon | begins 
conquering most of 
mainland Europe, 
dismantling their 
governments in favor of Pro- 
French ones. The French 
government start to kill 
Russian nationalists and 
those for an independent 
Russia. 

The French Empire 
collapses due to the death 
of Napoleon via 
assassination by Russian 
nationalists during his first 
visit to Russia after the war 
for Russia. A revolution, 
referred to as the ‘Russian 
Upheaval’ occurs. Napoleon 
Ill is killed and replaced with 
a descendant of Czar 
Alexandra. 

Most of Northern and 
Western Europe 
experiences a ‘dark age’ 
due to a lack of centralized 
authority. Most of Southern, 
Central and Eastern Europe 
experience very little 
variation from our current 
timeline. A new Russian 
government is created, this 
time with a system similar to 


1850-1865 


1866-1911 


1912 


a constitutional democracy. 
Along the same time, Great 
Britain experiences great 
social unrest, with several 
riots and attempted 
revolutions. 

A new government is 
established in France, this 
time under the control of a 
queen known as Abella I, 
the daughter of a French 
warlord. She establishes a 
centralized authority, 
creating a dictatorial police 
state, killing dissenters and 
those who oppose her 
position. During this time, 
Great Britain undergoes a 
democratic revolution, 
ending in the election of 
their first president. The 
American Civil War does not 
change from the original 
timeline. 

Abella II controls most of 
mainland Europe. The 
Russian government 
undergoes another 
revolution, this time by 
Russian communists under 
the control of Vladimir Lenin 
and Leon Trotsky. 
Revolution ends in 1910, 
with a Communist victory. 
In 1912, the Parliament 
building of Britain is 
attacked by radical 
communists via improvised 
explosives. Over a hundred 
Parliament members are 


1913 


1914-1924 


killed in the explosion, 
resulting in a state of 
emergency. During this 
time, the new Communist 
government, now calling 
itself the Soviet Union, 
invades much of Eastern 
Europe, including Ukraine, 
Poland, and parts of 
Germany. 

The creation of the Allied 
Powers, an alliance 
between The US, Great 
Britain, and the French 
government. Its creation 
was due to the recent 
invasion from the Soviet 
government of most of 
mainiand Russia. 

This time period, known as 
the 'Great War' was a war 
between the Soviet 
government and the Allied 
powers. It began after the 
assassination of Vladimir 
Lenin and Leon Trotsky 
declaring that it was the 
French who assassinated 
Lenin. The Soviet Union 
declared war on the French. 
The US and Britain declared 
war on the Soviets. It ended 
in 1924, following the 
invasion of Germany by US 
and British forces. The 
Treaty of Berlin ended the 
war, making the Soviet 
Union lose most of its 
territory gained during its 
invasions of Central and 


Eastern Europe. 

1929 An event known as the 
‘Great Depression’ began, 
causing an economic crash. 
Due to this event, Abella V1 
(Then Queen of France), 
desperate for economic 
wealth, invaded the Soviet 
Union and Great Britain 
over their oil supplies. This 
event causes the Second 
World War. 

1931-1945 The Second World War, 
between 1931 and 1937, is 
at a constant stalemate. 
There is no full invasion of 
either country until the US 
enters the war against the 
French. In 1989, a full 
invasion of France begins 
with the help of the Soviet 
Union and Great Britain. It 
ends in 1945, with the 
invasion of Paris, destroying 
most of the city. 

1946 Year of the creation of the 
United Nations, with the 
Soviet Union, the US and 
Great Britain as the major 
leaders of the Nations. 


Little information is known about this world post 1946. 
Addendum-2238.2 


On 1-23-2000, SCP-2238 affected the city of [REDACTED], 
Louisiana, broadcasting a documentary entitled How They Hid In 
The Darkness®, which describes a X-Class 'Lift of the Veil' scenario 
of the Foundation due to increasing tensions between the 
Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition, specifically on an event 


that occurred 12-21-1991. It also focuses on how the Foundation 
adapts to a scenario. 


Due to an error in the Binah Pattern Recognition SystemS, the 
Foundation accidentally attacked a GOC base, ending in the death 
of over 3,000 GOC personnel. This event escalated tensions 
between the Foundation and the Coalition, causing an event called 
the 'GOC-Foundation War' that lasted three years. 


The contents of the documentary includes footage of Foundation 
agents locating, capturing, and containing several anomalous 
objects and entities. It includes interviews with Foundation personnel 
and sapient entities, including an interview with 05-12. The following 
is an incomplete list of incidents, objects, personnel, and members 
of Gols that appear in the documentary:

Following this incident, the entire county of [REDACTED] was given 
Class-A amnestics over the course of five days, the elimination of all 
recordings of SCP-2238-A-23, and the detainment of over _ staff 
members involved in the film'. All personnel involved with How 
They Hid In The Darkness deny any involvement with the 
documentary. 


Addendum-2238.3 
The following is a series of transcripts from the documentary How 


They Hid In The Darkness. 
Excerpts from "How They Hid In The Darkness" 


"It was early in the morning when | first started 
hearing the artillery shells. | didn't know they 
were artillery shells at the time, just knew that 
something loud was going off. Got up and tried 
looking through the window. In the distance, 
this building that | had passed by on my way to 
work was being burned to the ground. | always 
thought it was a barracks or a laboratory, if 
only | knew.... 


"Some men drag me and my daughters out of 
the house. They say they are with the 
Coalition, a force trying to keep humanity safe. 
They tell us to get onto a bus to the nearest 
civilian safe zone. They take us to one, and 
they force all the men and women above the 
age of fifteen but not over fifty to come with 
them. | never saw my daughters again." — 
Survivor of Site-43 raid. 


"Our job was to get the civilians out to the safe 
zones. Most didn't know what was going on, 
and the ones that did knew there was no point 
in trying to keep themselves safe. The case 
that always sticks out in my mind was this old 
man near the border of Paris. He refused to 
leave his house. Lived in it since the second 
world war before the Communists and Brits 
invaded. We couldn't get him to move. When 
the Coalition attacked, the house was 
destroyed, and we never found the body." — 
Civilian Protectorates, Paris, France. 


"The reason we used amnestics during the 
war was because of their tactical usage. Throw 
in some amnestics in a can into a room filled 
with enemy combatants and have them all 


forget who they are for ten or twenty seconds 
while you mow them down with your M16. 
Simplistic, really." — Foundation General 
Kennedy. 


"They're murderers, is what | think of ‘em. The 
janitors, all of them, are fuckin' animals. | 
thought they were just bogey men, used to 
scare some normies and losers on the 
internet. No. Moscow [Pauses] Moscow was 
my home. Moscow was the only safe place left 
in Eastern Europe. All others were destroyed 
in the battles, mostly by nukes and other 
weapons. | didn't think they had the balls to 
drop that animal onto us. Killing us with its 
giant scythe, butchering us like insects. 
[Pauses] Bodies littered the streets. Men, 
women, [Pauses] children. Of course, the 
Coalition had no choice. What other choice did 
they even have?"— Gamers Against Weed 
member, survivor of Moscow bombing. 


"Europe turned into an absolute hell hole 
during the first few months. The once spotless 
meadows was now covered with hundreds of 
large holes were the bombs and shells 
dropped. And the larger ones were where we 
dropped the nukes on their sites. You could 
feel the radiation from up in the air. Made 
some men so sick that they passed out and 
crashed their planes." — Private of the 
Foundation air force. 


"There was never enough food for us. The 
Coalition forced us to work the farms 
surrounding the safe zones. They had quotas 
for what we needed to produce in a season. 
Each group needed to produce ten pounds of 
food from each of the nine crops they gave us 
in the span of nine months. If we didn't 


produce that much, we were expected to 
spend nine months on the frontlines in Europe 
or America. We heard the horror stories. 
[Pauses] The bombings, the killings. This one 
guy, a bunk mate of mine, was told that his 
group didn't produce enough food. [Brings 
tissue paper to his eyes] We found him in the 
bathroom. He swallowed his shaving knife." — 
Safe Zone Brazil resident. 


"Of course we needed to remove them. They 
were getting in the way, with all their rules and 
regulations. We needed those weapons, the 
Coalition were making their way to Britain and 
into the Gulf. But no, they said it was too 
‘unethical’. They were in the way of progress, 
we had no other choice. We sent in a ‘coalition 
spy' to kill them. Hm? Oh, yes, they knew too 
much. We couldn't allow a information breach 
of some sort."— O5-14 on the disbandment of 
the Ethics Committee. 


"We first used D-Class. They were monsters, 
no one would have missed them. But we 
started to lose more and more, and so we 
looked for other sources. Coalition POWs, 
civilians, things like that. The project was more 
important than any one life. Hm? Of course! Of 
course we did! We dropped the infected over 
their sites and spread it throughout Europe! 
We had no other choice."— Dr Mann on the 
use of SCP-008 for biological warfare. 


"We killed them. It was for the greater good of 
the war. | wish we didn't have to do it, but we 
did it. We rounded up the freaks, greens, 
blues, reds, anything that looked anomalous 
and forced them outside. We told them to dig a 
giant pit. Most of them were no older than 
forty. After they were done, we threw all of the 


objects in the site into the pit, and told them to 
face the pit. [Pauses] I'm.... I'm just glad that it 
wasn't me who had to pull the trigger." — 
Coalition Soldier, Veteran of the Raid on 
Site-19.

SCP-2239: Gatherer of Gratitudes 


Item #: SCP-2239 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2239 is contained at 
Site-17, in an aviary outfitted with an artificial pond. Access to 
SCP-2239 for experimentation requires Level-3 authorization; 
personnel entering the enclosure are to be accompanied by an 
agent for observation. All morphological variations exhibited by 
SCP-2239 must be documented and SCP-2239’s diet adjusted 
accordingly. 


SCP-2239 is to be visited twice daily by designated personnel to 
maintain its continued health and cooperation. Attentive care is to be 
taken when handling SCP-2239, as it has occasionally refused to 
eat unless fed by hand. 


Description: SCP-2239 is an entity that soontaneously experiences 
involuntary morphological changes, affecting both its appearance 
and bodily composition. Currently, SCP-2239 maintains the form of 
a juvenile Chiloscyllium punctatum (brown-banded bamboo shark), 
with wing structures similar to that of Sasakia charonda (Japanese 
emperor butterfly) sprouting from near its dorsal fin.! SCP-2239 is 
believed to be sapient (see Addendum 2239-1), but generally 
exhibits behavior consistent with that of non-anomalous organisms. 
When administered intelligence tests, SCP-2239 exhibited widely 
different scores, suggesting cognitive instability.
