| got a call to my office from the Horizon. No, not from 
the launch site, from the space shuttle itself. | don't know 
how the hell they reached my office, why they called me, 
or what they even used to place the call in the first place, 
there's no record of it even existing, but it happened. The 
guy on the phone said he was Phil McGinnis, whom | 
knew to be one of the astronauts on the shuttle. Naturally 
| thought it was a joke or something similar at first, but | 
heard something in the background that convinced me 
otherwise. | honestly can't describe what | was hearing, 
but I...didn't like it. | could barely hear what McGinnis 
was saying: | had to write it down on a piece of scratch 
paper in my office. "The light that eats time," "Mustn't 
come back," and "I will hold the light in me" are the only 
clear things | heard. After less than two minutes, the call 
cut out. | sat for at least a half hour, literally doing 
nothing, and I honestly can't remember what | was 
thinking about. | don't know if | was questioning what had 
just happened, or if | even knew what had just happened 
at all. Until this day, I've told no one about this. 


As I'm sure you know, the shuttle went down less than 
three hours later, and BE vanished without a trace. The 
whole thing was swept under the rug, and work on the 
SSP went on like nothing ever happened. All of us that 
had worked on the project while BE was on-board were 
rotated to other things, or we disappeared. 


SCP-2586: That's Not My Name 


Item #: SCP-2586 
Object Class: Euclid 
Special Containment Procedures: UPDATED 2017-02-25 


SCP-2586 is kept in a full-body restraint at all times, with exceptions 
for nutrition and hygienic concerns. SCP-2586 must be closely 
supervised at all times when allowed to use its hands; should it 
make any motion not directly relevant to the task at hand, it must be 
incapacitated via electroshock weapon immediately. SCP-2586 has 
a Standard Risk Rating of 03/09/13. 


Any public commentary regarding name changes effected by 
SCP-2586 is to be suppressed. When appropriate, affected 
individuals should be removed from the public eye. 


Description: SCP-2586 is a human male, roughly 35 years of age 
at time of writing. Its chest bears a tattoo reading "Mr. Literal Serial 
Killer, by Gamers Against Weed". SCP-2586 is able to effect 
global, instantaneous alteration of the name of any person: all extant 
documentation of the target will be altered to a particularly unfitting 
form, while all individuals who knew the target's original name will 
become aware of the new name. 


While subjects are aware of the denotations of the new name, all 
connotations of the original name are preserved; typically, subjects 
will not have any particular emotional reaction to the new name, 
even when it would normally be disturbing or amusing. The 
exception to this effect is the target, who will react as expected to 
their change in name. 


SCP-2586 can activate this ability by miming the use of an 
implement to commit a violent action against the target. Targets are 
affected in a manner appropriate for the implement mimicked: by 


pretending to wield a rifle, SCP-2586 can affect targets 
instantaneously from a range of several hundred meters; when it 
pretended to empty a bottle into a jug of water, all subjects who 
subsequently drank from the jug were affected, etc. 


While SCP-2586 can understand written and spoken English, it has 
not attempted verbal communication at any point. It will attempt to 
escape containment when given the opportunity. It is apparently 
unaware of the nature of its anomalous properties, and will act as 
though it has the ability to access and operate genuine weapons; 
escape attempts thus pose minimal risk to personnel. SCP-2586 has 
not cooperated with any request or directive except under duress. 


Recovery: SCP-2586 was initially detained on October 19th, 2016 
at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas while attempting to attend 
the ongoing presidential election debate between Hillary Clinton and 
Donald Trump. It activated its anomalous properties on several 
security personnel attending the event, and attempted to sneak past 
during the resultant confusion. After SCP-2586 was found to be 
unarmed, it was remanded to the Las Vegas Police Department. It 
affected seven police officers before Foundation personnel 
embedded in the department correctly assessed and neutralized the 
threat. 


Addendum: At time of recovery, SCP-2586 had a copy of the 
following document on its person. 


Holy Heck! You've just found yourself your very own Mr. 
Literal Serial Killer by Gamers Against Weed! The 
working title was "Mr. Empathy". Who is Dr. 
Annoymaker? 


Find them all and become Mr. Gamer!

Addendum: In February of 2017, SCP-2586 began to exhibit 
digestive upset and abdominal pain, which an examination identified 
as symptoms of appendicitis. An appendectomy was performed on 
2017-02-16 without issue. Shortly after SCP-2586 was returned to 
its containment cell, its anomalous properties activated, affecting 
134 personnel in and near the medical bay where its procedure was 
performed. 


A review of surveillance footage indicates that SCP-2586 had, over 
the course of several months, covertly mimed the construction of an 
explosive device in its cell.1 SCP-2586 avoided intervention from 
security personnel by spending no more than two seconds at a time 
constructing the "device". It then pretended to plant the device in the 
aforementioned medical bay, and activate it while recovering from 
surgery. 


Recommending 24/7 restraint of SCP-2586. The emotional impact of 
this incident has caused a noticeable decline in productivity and 
morale at Site-17, not to mention the expenses associated with 
information suppression. Another incident of this nature is 
unacceptable.- Researcher Louis Cannon 


Approved.- Site Director Roland Joints 


Footnotes 
1. This suggests that SCP-2586 is aware of personnel's inability to 
observe the "weapons" it creates.

features and [REDACTED] appear to be relocated randomly, yet 
without losing functionality. Fingers and toes are often removed from 
the hands and feet, and eyes rarely remain in a configuration 
lending itself to binocular vision. Almost all subjects report pain and 
discomfort in breathing and movement (if either remain possible), 
with most unable to walk or perform any type of effective locomotion. 


Autopsies performed on afflicted subjects reveal that a similar 
reconfiguration occurs internally, with organ placement changed and 
blood vessels/nerves lengthened to fit the new arrangement. 
Evidence of severe internal bleeding and haemorrhage of other 
bodily fluids is often present, although subjects display none of the 
connected symptoms on retrieval from SCP-290, and no subject has 
died as a direct result of exposure to the object. Subjects’ bones 
show evidence of large-scale fracturing, but also rapid healing, 
ostensibly a part of the modification process. Subjects remain 
conscious throughout the reconfiguration - see Addendum 290-1 for 
details. 


Addendum 290-1: Experiment Log 

Subject: D-59414, male, 18. 

Supervisor: Dr. S , SCP-290 lead researcher 

Purpose: Ascertain the experiences of subjects within SCP-290 


Procedure: D-59414 was exposed to SCP-290, having had no prior 
experience with the object. Subject immediately inquired as to its 
function, to which Dr. S replied "That is what we intend to find 
out." After several subsequent inquiries from the subject were 
rebuffed, subject was provided with an IR-sensitive video camera 
and ordered to enter the object; subject complied without resistance. 
Aperture re-opened 17.4 minutes after closure, and subject and 
video camera were retrieved. The video camera was heavily 
damaged during the experiment due to the subject's violent 
convulsions, and around 65% of the footage is unintelligible. 


<A transcript of the video feed recovered from the camera follows> 
Video feed initially shows subject sitting calmly in the centre of 
SCP-290, looking around and examining his surroundings by touch 
at intervals. This continues for around 2 minutes, at which point the 
subject begins clutching his chest and groaning. Subject then begins 
to scream, including the phrase "I was only curious, but | know now. 


SCP-2587: The Odd Family of Martha Fern 


Item #: SCP-2587 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2587 is contained in a 
submerged 30 x 30 x 15 meter containment chamber at Marine 
Site-05. Due to SCP-2587's diet, ocean water is allowed to flow 
through SCP-2587's containment chamber for feeding purposes. All 
water that flows through SCP-2587's containment chamber is to be 
stored in a tank. This water is to be sampled and tested for any 
foreign material before it is allowed to return to the ocean. 
SCP-2587 is to undergo weekly ultrasound examinations, and any 
changes in behavior are to be reported to the current project head. 


SCP-2587-A8 and SCP-2587-B are kept in standard humanoid 
containment chambers and are to undergo weekly psychological 
examinations. 


Description: SCP-2587 is an amorphous organism with a length of 
20 meters and a height of 10 meters. The object is composed of 
human tissue with no known pattern of distribution encased in a 
continuous epidermis and dermis. All attempts to penetrate the 
dermis have been unsuccessful, but the epidermis may be damaged 
through conventional means. 


Undifferentiated tissue makes up approximately 80% of the object's 
mass and is currently believed to act as insulation or protection. The 
remaining 20% of SCP-2587 is taken up by the object's digestive 
system. This system consists of multiple esophagi connected to 
patches of the object's skin. These patches of skin can be moved 
around the object to face the current and are used to gather 
nutrients through filter-feeding and absorption of small animals. 
Notably, the amount of matter SCP-2587 ingests is not enough to 
sustain an organism of similar size. It is possible that this is due to 
the organism's simplicity, though the possibility of additional 


anomalous effects has not been ruled out. The esophagi lead into a 
central chamber that acts as the object's stomach. 15 chambers are 
connected to the stomach by additional esophagi. Each of these 
chambers holds an instance of SCP-2587-A. 


SCP-2587-A refers to 16 humans. 15 SCP-2587-A instances are 
contained within the secondary chambers of SCP-2587, with 
SCP-2587-A8 having been released (See Addendum 2587-02). 
SCP-2587-A is comprised of ten males (SCP-2587-A1 through A10) 
and six females (SCP-2587-A11 through A16) of varying age. All 
instances are either pubescent or post-pubescent. SCP-2587-A 
instances are kept in stasis and fed through an umbilical cord that 
draws nutrients from the stomach of SCP-2587. Instances will 
occasionally make simple movements such as bending their limbs or 
clenching and unclenching their hands. As of 8/13/12, SCP-2587-A8 
is the only recovered instance. 


SCP-2587-B is an adult female human which is a genetic match to 
SCP-2587.1 SCP-2587-B identifies as Martha Fern, who was 
reported missing in 2007 and was recovered shortly after by the 
UIU. Subject possesses multiple injuries that it claims were caused 
by extraterrestrial abduction. SCP-2587-B possesses a large wound 
on her abdomen which had been cauterized prior to capture. Subject 
also possesses multiple wounds on her thighs indicative of skin 
removal.

Access interview 2587-B-01 


Interview 2587-B-03 

Interviewer: Dr. Avery Finch, on-site 
psychologist 

Interviewee: SCP-2587-B 

Foreword: Interview was conducted to acquire 
more detail on SCP-2587-B's claims of alien 
abduction. Interview has been translated from 
Polish. 


Dr. Finch: Please state your name for the 


record. 
SCP-2587-B: Martha Fern. 


Dr. Finch: Could you describe what you 
experienced during your supposed abduction? 


SCP-2587-B: Sure. Where should | start? 


Dr. Finch: On the night that you were 
abducted. 


SCP-2587-B: Okay. So | just got home, it was 
about eleven o'clock at night. | get ready for 
bed and | go to sleep just like any other 
evening. When | wake up, I'm lying on 
something hard and flat, and everything 
around me is dark. 


Dr. Finch: Could you make out any details? 
SCP-2587-B: No, it was too dark. 
Dr. Finch: Do you remember anything? 


SCP-2587-B: Yeah, | remember being in there 
for hours. It was like my c-section, but worse. | 
felt everything happening to me, but none of it 
hurt. | did feel something wet touch me several 
times. After a while, someone lit a blowtorch 
and | saw them. 


Dr. Finch: Them? 


SCP-2587-B: Giant blue blobs with people 
inside. They were the ones operating on me. 
They cauterized their incision, put me under, 
and then | woke up in the woods. 


Dr. Finch: Are there any other details you 
remember? 


SCP-2587-B: No, that's all. 


Dr. Finch: Thank you SCP-2587. That will be 
all. 


[END LOG] 
Addendum 2587-02: Incident 2587-01 


During an ultrasound examination on 9/17/12, one of SCP-2587's 
secondary chambers began moving away from the center of 
SCP-2587. After three minutes of movement, a section of 
SCP-2587's epidermis opened up where the chamber containing 
SCP-2587-A8 had made contact with it. SCP-2587-A8's umbilical 
cord was severed, and the unconscious instance was deposited 
outside of SCP-2587. A diving team was sent in and the instance 
was recovered without incident. Post-incident examination revealed 
the presence of a currently-unidentified blue fluid within the water 
that is believed to originate from SCP-2587. 


SCP-2587-A8 identifies as Adam Smith, a resident of Washington 
D.C. that went missing in 2008. Aside from an MARS2 score of 8/10, 
SCP-2587-A8 does not display any unusual characteristics. An 
interview with the subject can be found in Addendum 2587-03.

Interview 2587-A8-02 

Interviewer: Dr. Avery Finch, on-site 
psychologist 

Interviewee: SCP-2587-A8 


Dr. Finch: Please state your name for the 
record. 
SCP-2587-A8: Adam Smith. 


Dr. Finch: Describe your experiences leading 
up to your entry into SCP-2587. 


SCP-2587-A8: So | went to bed one night. 
Nothing unusual, just a normal evening. | go to 
sleep, and | wake up in some cell wearing a 
hospital gown. 


Dr. Finch: Could you describe the interior of 
the cell? 


SCP-2587-A8: Dark. Really dark and really 
cold. Floors felt like concrete, and there was a 
cot in the corner that | woke up on. | waited for 
about ten minutes before | hear the door open. 
| hear this squishing sound get closer to me 
before | feel something wet grab my arm and 
pull me into the hallway. There was a bit more 
light out there and | managed to get a better 
look at the thing. 


Dr. Finch: Could you describe the entity? 


SCP-2587-A8: Yeah. It was giant mass of 
flesh about twice my size. Clear, but it with a 
blue tint. | could see a man in the center with 
his head hung. He had his arm pointed 
towards me, and his fist was clenched. 


Dr. Finch: Was there anything else in the 
hallway?
