An understanding of SCP-2414's infohazardous properties has been 
shown to inhibit said properties in approximately 70% of cases, 
although such an understanding will not prevent memory erasure in 
the event of a successful "liberation" of SCP-2414. Class A 
amnestics have been shown to prevent the infohazardous properties 
of SCP-2414 from manifesting in 95% of affected individuals if 
applied within eight hours of exposure. The success rate declines at 
a rate of approximately 6% per hour from that point; after 24 hours, 
amnestics are unable to erase knowledge of SCP-2414 from 
exposed individuals. 


History: SCP-2414 was recovered on March 11, 20 when 
Foundation Mobile Task Force Theta-17 ("St. Patrick's Pals") came 
into contact with a Serpent's Hand field team. Due to its properties 
as an infohazard, all but two members of the MTF succumbed to 
SCP-2414's effects. Infohazard-trained personnel were brought to 
the scene, and were able to secure the object despite incurring three 
additional casualties.

Sorry. Simpsons was on in the staff lounge 
after my shift yesterday, and I've had that 
damn song stuck in my head since. 


Anyway, there's something about 2414 that 
struck me this morning, and | may have figured 
a better way to contain it. It only affects 
Foundation personnel, after all, so maybe we 
can get the UIU to lock it up for us. If we send 
a liaison over to keep an eye on their setup, 
then wouldn't it still count as being in our 
custody?

But yeah, that might work. I'll write up 
something along those lines and send it 
through the review process.

SUBJECT: Need your input on something 


Got suckered into training some new recruits 
on how to handle infohazards. Again. 


Part of the training involved identifying 
potential issues with containing an SCP object. 
We couldn't use a real one, obviously, so | had 
them turn a critical eye to that fake one | wrote 
up last time | got stuck with the job. One of the 
trainees gave me this suggestion; I'm not sure 
if it's a good idea or a bad one. What's your 
take on it?

Special Containment Procedures: 
SCP-XXXxX is currently being 
contained by the Unusual Incidents 
Unit, with instructions to disregard all 
requests for transfer back to 
Foundation-operated facilities unless 
said requests include the approval of 
at least three (3) Foundation 
personnel of class B or higher. A 
Foundation agent trained in the 
resistance and containment of 
infohazards is to liaise with the UIU 
for purposes of ensuring successful 
containment of SCP-XXXX.

SUBJECT: Re: Need your input on something 


I'd go with 'bad one’. What happens if the 
infohazard decides that even with the liaison 
present, it's not in Foundation custody 
anymore? Best case, the liaison gets 
mindwiped. Worst case, we'd lose a chunk of 
the Site-62 leadership plus everyone involved 
in researching the thing. 


Don't get me wrong, it'd be a great idea if we 
knew it'd still count as in our custody. But in 
this scenario, we don't know that. Hell, if it was 
a real skip, I'd be concerned that your trainee 
had been affected. 


Still, points for out-of-the-box thinking, at least. 


Results of the investigation into Researcher L__ for 
infohazard contamination are pending. 


Footnotes 

1. Knowledge that the designation SCP-2414 is currently being 
utilized is in and of itself insufficient to activate its infohazardous 
properties; however, said knowledge in conjunction with that of any 
of SCP-2414's properties (including the fact that the designation 
refers to a physical object) will do so. 

2. This will result in the exposure of such personnel to SCP-2414's 
infohazardous properties.

SCP-2415: One Half of a Two-Hander 


Item #: SCP-2415 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: (Updated 15 August 2016) 
SCP-2415 is to be stored in a specially constructed case made of 
reinforced concrete of not less than 2,000 kg mass, and further held 
in a reinforced containment chamber constructed on site at the 
scene of discovery (Designated Site-187 as of 1 September 2016). 
SCP-2415 is not to be removed from the chamber at any time, 
including during testing. 


Description: SCP-2415 comprises two disparate pieces resembling 
parts of a Scottish claymore. SCP-2415-1 is a hilt, 35 cm long, with 
blade-ward sloping quillons and quatrefoil terminations, and 
wrapped in cow leather. SCP-2415-2 is a blade, 37 cm long, in the 
shape of the foible and tip of a claymore, and constructed of a high- 
carbon steel alloy with inclusions of niobium and technetium that 
appear not to be in its original construction. 


SCP-2415-1 and SCP-2415-2 remain fixed in position relative to 
each other, maintaining a constant orientation and distance of 72 cm 
between the blade insertion point on SCP-2415-1 and the surface 
distal to the blade point on SCP-2415-2. This orientation and 
distance does not change when one of the pieces is manipulated 
spatially; for example, picking up SCP-2415-1 will cause 
SCP-2415-2 to float in the air to preserve the distance between the 
two objects. Striking one object against a solid surface will arrest 
motion of the other, as if the two were rigidly connected. Testing 
equipment that fits in the space between SCP-2415-1 and 
SCP-2415-2, organic or otherwise, can pass between the two 
objects without obstacle or harm. 


SCP-2415 is limited in its range of motion, unable to rotate more 
than 23 degrees from horizontal, or travel from its point of discovery 


more than approximately 50 m horizontally or 7.5 m vertically. 
Attempts to move the objects further result in it stopping movement, 
as if colliding with a solid barrier. At the edges of its range of motion, 
rotation is further constrained, forcing a perfect horizontal orientation 
at the highest points of its range of motion. 


SCP-2415 was located buried in a shallow depression on the 
peninsula of Duirinish on the Isle of Skye. The area was being 
investigated by an archaeological team looking for evidence of the 
legend of the Battle of Glendale, when Clan MacLeod repelled 
invading forces of Clan MacDonald. The battle was notable for being 
one of two times Clan MacLeod unfurled and waved the Fairy Flag, 
a clan relic (See File on Potential Anomalous Object #427 for 
details). Of note in the legend was Donald Gruamach MacDonald 
suffering "unseen beings taking the strength of his sword" before his 
slaying by Murdo MacCaskill. 


Addendum - Incident 2415-1: During testing with SCP-2415 on 9 
August 2016, D-2449 reported soft resistance to horizontal travel of 
SCP-2415 over a distance of approximately 50 cm. 7.3 seconds 
after conclusion of the soft resistance, SCP-2415-1 wrested free of 
D-2449's grip and moved erratically throughout the containment 
chamber for 43 seconds, reaching top velocities of 48.5 m/s before 
destruction of recording equipment within the chamber. All available 
footage indicates that the two objects maintained their fixed distance 
throughout the event. Upon recontainment it was determined that 
D-2449 expired due to injuries sustained. Testing of SCP-2415 is 
suspended until conclusion of the incident analysis.

SCP-2416: The Day the Clown Died 


Item #: SCP-2416 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The current instance of 
SCP-2416 (now SCP-2416-21) is to be kept in a drug-induced coma 
at Site-59 and monitored for vital signs. If SCP-2416-21 dies for any 
reason, Mobile Task Force Omicron-8 "Send In The Clowns" is to be 
placed on high alert, and the replacement instance is to be 
apprehended and contained in the same manner as soon as 
possible. 


Description: SCP-2416 refers to multiple instances of a 35-year-old 
Caucasian human male named Joseph Grunderson-Pike. Despite 
having unextraordinary brain activity and no history of neurological 
disorders, SCP-2416 displays diminished intellectual capacity and a 
high likelihood of getting into a lethal accident. 


On 1/14/2006, SCP-2416-1, the original’ instance, was killed after 
walking onto an expressway in Chicago. This was not believed to 
have been suicide; shortly before it was struck by a speeding 
minivan, its last words were reportedly "Hey, this isn't State street!" 
SCP-2416-1 had funeral services, was cremated, and its death was 
reported in multiple Chicago newspapers. 


On 3/15/2006, a living instance of SCP-2416, SCP-2416-2, was 
stabbed to death in Omaha after it tied a convicted murderer's 
shoelaces together for a prank. SCP-2416-2 was determined by law 
enforcement officials to be an outsider with no friends or relations in 
Omaha and was buried. 


It is unknown how a new instance of SCP-2416 appears after the 
death of a previous instance. The latest instance always claims to 
have no recollection of having died at all, and has passed multiple 
polygraph tests while giving this testimony. The origin point of a 


"reincarnated" instance has never been successfully located, and all 
sightings of SCP-2416 instances have been after-the-fact.

instances has not been ruled out. 


« SCP-2415 | SCP-2416 | SCP-2417 » 


stylized letters can be seen the back wall of the studio, and an 
unidentified music piece is playing in the studio at all times. 


The only man visible in the studio is SCP-263-1. 


SCP-263-1 appears to be a male human of Caucasian descent of 
approximately thirty-five years of age, dressed in a suit that matches 
a style commonly worn between the years 1959 and 1964. 
SCP-263-1 has a demeanor that has been described as "Blithe," 
"Enthusiastic," and "Over the top." SCP-263-1 is smiling almost 
constantly. As soon as a human turns SCP-263 on, SCP-263-1 will 
look directly at the subject and say that the subject is "a new 
competitor who just tuned in to the Cash or Ash show." He will then 
state that he wishes the subject "lots of luck" in answering "three 
fiendish questions" and "getting the cash - and not ash!" 
(SCP-263-1's exact phrasing varies slightly between each usage of 
SCP-263.) 


SCP-263-1 will proceed to ask the questions. The questions asked 
by SCP-263-1 are always related to the environment surrounding 
SCP-263. If inside of a fully enclosed structure, SCP-263-1 will ask 
questions about the owners, history, and design of the structure. If 
outside of a enclosed structure, SCP-263-1 will ask questions 
pertaining to the history, geology, ecosystem, and weather patterns 
of the surrounding area. 


While inside of a Foundation facility, all of the questions are related 
to various SCPs in possession or in the records of the Foundation or 
about the history and architecture of the site in which it is stored. 
Many of them are inquiries upon rather basic information easily 
found in documents accessible by low level personnel, but some of 
them concern specific minutiae, found only in certain esoteric 
documents which require high clearance and/or are rather 
complicated to find or reach. In each case, though, the information 
needed to correctly answer the question can be gathered from 
Foundation records. For a full list of questions asked by SCP-263-1 
while in Foundation possession, see document 263-Q1. 


If within the next forty-five seconds, the subject supplies a correct 
answer, his success will be acknowledged and briefly congratulated 
upon by SCP-263-1. 


SCP-2417: Gods, the Universes, and Origami 


Item #: SCP-2417 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2417 is to be stored ina 
standard containment chamber at Site-201. Every 24 hours a vial 
containing 0.5 mL of blood is to be provided to SCP-2417. 

Interviews with SCP-2417 are to have the interviewee and 
SCP-2417 separated by wall, with microphones and speakers used 
for communication. Paper and/or blood is to be given as a reward for 
information. 


Description: SCP-2417 is a piece of sapient white kami paper.' 
SCP-2417 is able to fold itself into various shapes and locomote. Its 
preferred shape resembles an octopus with seven arms, with a 
height of 8 cm and a width of 14 cm. SCP-2417 can vocalize 
through anomalous means, being conversant in English and a 
language referred to as "Ortothan". Work on translating this 
language is underway, with assistance from SCP-2417.
