SCP-1884-B is to be kept in a standard containment chamber, also 
at Bio Site-59. As SCP-1884-B neither requires food nor produces 
biological waste material, typical weekly chamber cleaning is not 
necessary. However, SCP-1884-B requires bimonthly grooming to 
prevent accidental self-inflicted injury from its nails. 


To ensure SCP-1884-A and SCP-1884-B's continued cooperation in 
testing, SCP-1884-A is permitted to enter SCP-1884-B's 
containment chamber once a week for no more than four hours. 
These sessions are to be overseen by a minimum of two security 
personnel and recorded for research purposes. 


Description: SCP-1884-A is a blind female human of Albanian 
descent, aged 68 as of 03/11/  . SCP-1884-A has no hands; 
instead, its forearms are joined together where the wrist joints are 
typically located. There is extensive scarring on SCP-1884-A's body, 
primarily on the upper back. SCP-1884-A claims that its injuries 
were the result of poor treatment in captivity prior to containment. 
SCP-1884-A is proficient in Albanian, Cantonese, English, German, 
Japanese, Mandarin, and Modern Standard Arabic, and has 
rudimentary knowledge of Hindi, Portugese, Spanish, and Swahili. 


SCP-1884-B is a single living organism composed of 932 hands 
attached at the wrist to a central mass of oblong flesh. 929 of the 
hands are identical, consistent in appearance with the hands of an 


elderly female and bearing genetic similarities with SCP-1884-A. 
The remaining 3 appendages appear to belong to an adolescent 
Caucasian male, an adult Hispanic female, and a Bengal tiger, 
respectively. SCP-1884-B's skin is of the same thickness as that of 
a human's, but substantially more durable and resistant to minor 
injury. Every 8 to 10 months, SCP-1884-B will moult, shedding its 
skin in a reptile-like manner. SCP-1884-B is docile if unprovoked; 
however, if one or more of its hands is intentionally severed/ 
significantly damaged by an organism possessing hands or similar 
appendages, SCP-1884-B will retaliate by using its nails to sever its 
aggressor's hand (or equivalent thereof), which will then be 
integrated into its anatomy. 


SCP-1884-A and SCP-1884-B share a strong telepathic connection. 
Anything felt by SCP-1884-A is also felt by SCP-1884-B, and vice 
versa. Extensive testing has shown that despite the mental link, 
SCP-1884-B is independently sapient and capable of interacting 
with Foundation personnel even when SCP-1884-A is heavily 
sedated or similarly incapacitated. The relationship between the two 
entities is symbiotic: SCP-1884-A uses SCP-1884-B in a manner 
comparable to a seeing eye dog, utilizing SCP-1884-B's sense of 
touch to form a mental image of its surroundings; likewise, 
SCP-1884-A shares auditory information with SCP-1884-B and acts 
as its mouthpiece, verbally relaying thoughts and requests. 


SCP-1884 came to the Foundation's attention after attempting to 
check into ahotelin —_, United Arab Emirates, at 3:41 AM. 
According to the report written by local law enforcement, SCP-1884- 
A attempted to barter the jewelry it was carrying in exchange for 
lodging. When the receptionist declined the offer, SCP-1884-B 
entered through a nearby window and approached the receptionist 
aggressively, despite discouragement from SCP-1884-A. After the 
receptionist fled, SCP-1884-B reportedly stole a room key from the 
front desk. Foundation agents in the area intercepted the 
receptionist's emergency phone call and discovered SCP-1884-A 
and SCP-1884-B in a single-person hotel room. The two were 
recovered without incident. 


+ Interview Log - SCP-1884-A 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Hayfield: How long have you been 
connected to SCP-1884-B? 


SCP-1884-A: As long as | can remember. 
Wherever | have been, Luana has been there 
with me, even if only in my mind. 


Dr. Hayfield: Where did SCP-1884-B come 
from? 


SCP-1884-A: When | was still very young, | 
asked my mother the same question. She 
would not tell me. She said she did not want to 
frighten me. 


Dr. Hayfield: Have your blindness and 
physical abnormalities been present since 
birth? 


SCP-1884-A: Yes. Luana has always been my 
eyes. She feels the ground so | can walk. She 
helps me hold things. In my old age, there 
have been times she has carried me. | am very 
grateful to her. 


Dr. Hayfield: What were the events that led to 
the incident at the hotel? 


SCP-1884-A: That may take some time to 
explain. 


Dr. Hayfield: That's perfectly fine. Please 
proceed. 


SCP-1884-A: When | was eight years old, men 
came to our house asking to buy me and 
Luana. My parents were upset. They always 
tried to hide us and keep us a secret, and they 
were worried the men would tell others. But my 
father still sent them away. It was the first day | 
had ever heard my older brothers cry. That 


night, a man with an upside-down face came 
to my room. Luana was still very small and 
could not fight him. He put a sock in my mouth 
and took us away. | never saw my family 
again. 


SCP-1884-A: We were taken to America and 
forced to work in a place called 'Herman 
Fuller's Circus Of The Disquieting’. At first they 
made Luana and | part of their parade of 
freaks, but once | was grown they told us we 
needed our own act in order to "earn our 
keep.” They dressed me in flowing clothes and 
jewelry and billed us as Madame Rezarta and 
Her Amazing Palm Reader. |n our act, Luana 
would walk on the faces of volunteers, and | 
would make deductions about their 
appearance based on what she felt. "This one 
is African,” "this one broke his nose as a 
child," "this one recently had an accident ona 
fishing trip." If | made an error in my guesses | 
went without dinner. If | made an error in my 
English | would be whipped. My English 
improved very quickly. 


SCP-1884-A: As the years went by, the Circus 
grew. We began touring in other countries 
regularly, and | was forced to learn more 
languages. We visited New York, Paris, Berlin, 
Stockholm, Tokyo, Beijing, and more small 
cities than | can count. We were told how lucky 
we were to be part of the Circus, to be leading 
such glamorous lives. Glamorous lives! We 
were always underfed, we slept on the same 
foam mattress for thirty years, and not a week 
went by without me receiving abuse of some 
kind. Even when Luana tried to rebel, | was the 
one who was whipped. My skin is not as 
strong as Luana, and we both feel more pain 
when | am hurt. You see my arms? All these 


scars are from the Circus. | received this one 
when | misused the word ‘competent’. This 
one, | confused a Roman nose with an 
Aquiline nose. And all these here are from 
when Luana first tried to help me escape in 
1944. We never attempted escape again until 
that night two weeks ago. 


SCP-1884-A: | had always discouraged Luana 
from trying to escape. Beyond my fear of being 
punished, | told myself that no matter how bad 
things were at the Circus, it would be worse in 
the outside world. | told her it would only be a 
matter of time until Luana was killed by some 
frightened person on the street. But the 
thought of leaving still passed through her 
mind frequently. Two weeks ago, when we had 
stopped on a deserted road between shows, 
Luana killed the guard outside our tent. She 
did it while | was asleep so | would not have to 
feel her do it. She must have done it without 
planning it ahead of time, because | never saw 
the idea in my mind. When she awoke me | 
was very frightened and almost would not 
leave, but | was afraid of what the man with 
the upside-down face—the Ringmaster's thug 
—would do to us if he found out Luana had 
become dangerous. So we fled. | could not run 
very far, and Luana had to carry me to 
civilization. | told her to wait outside while | 
tried to get us a room at the hotel, but she did 
not listen to me. 


Dr. Hayfield: | see. | think that's all the 
information we need for today. Thank you for 
your cooperation. 


SCP-1884-A: You are very welcome. | am 
very grateful to be here. Your people treat me 
very well. | wish | could be with Luana in 


person more often, but she is always with me 
in my mind.

Note: Subsequent investigations into 'Herman 
Fuller's Circus Of The Disquieting' have found 
no evidence that such a group exists. 


+ Interview Log - SCP-1884-B 


Foreword: With assistance from SCP-1884-A, 
Dr. Selman was able to teach SCP-1884-B to 
read Braille and communicate by signing 
letters of the alphabet. The following is a one- 
on-one interview between Dr. Selman and 
SCP-1884-B. Dr. Selman used a Braille printer 
for his queries, which have been romanized 
here for the sake of readability. SCP-1884-A 
was heavily sedated at the time the interview 
was being conducted in order to ensure the 
integrity of SCP-1884-B's replies. 


<Begin Log> 

Dr. Selman: What are you? 

SCP-1884-B: HERE | AM SCP 1884 B. 

Dr. Selman: What is your species called? 
SCP-1884-B: | AM ONLY ONE. | AM LUANA. 
Dr. Selman: What is your nature? 
SCP-1884-B: QUESTION CONFUSING. 


Dr. Selman: All right. How would you describe 
yourself? 


SCP-1884-B: HAND THING. 


Dr. Selman: How long have you known 
SCP-1884-A? 


SCP-1884-B: OUR MINDS HAVE BEEN 
CONECTED [sic] EVER SINCE MY FIRST 
THOUGHT. 


Dr. Selman: Where did you come from? 
SCP-1884-B: ASK YOUR PARENTS. 


Dr. Selman: Please remember that this is a 
serious interview. Where did you come from? 


SCP-1884-B: | DON'T KNOW. BUT | 
REMEMBER IT WAS WET. 


Dr. Selman: How would you describe your 
captivity in the Circus Of The Disquieting? 


SCP-1884-B: (SCP-1884-B raises the middle 
finger of every hand not being used to support 
its weight) 


Dr. Selman: Kindly expound on that. In words, 
if you would be so kind. 


SCP-1884-B: WE WERE TREATED VERY 
BADLY. PUNISHED ALWAYS. THEY COULD 
NOT HURT ME. SO THEY HURT SISTER TO 
HURT ME. THEY ARE CROOKS. THEY ARE 
ALWAYS HURTING PEOPLE. 


Dr. Selman: Who else did they hurt? 


SCP-1884-B: OTHER ACTS. AND 
SOMETIMES PEANUT GALLERY. SISTER 
ALWAYS HEARD SCREAMING FROM 
OTHER TENTS LATE AT NIGHT. NO ONE 
WOULD TELL US WHY. 


Dr. Selman: SCP-1884-A stated that you were 


the one who instigated your escape. What led 
you to make this decision? 


SCP-1884-B: SHE WAS AFRAID TO TRY. 
BUT | WANTED A BETTER LIFE FOR HER. 
THEY HURT HER TOO MUCH FOR TOO 
LONG. AND THEN WE HAD THE PERFECT 
CHANCE. 


Dr. Selman: | think that concludes our first 
interview. Thank you, SCP-1884-B. 


SCP-1884-B: WAIT MAY | HAVE BRAILLE 
BOOKS PLEASE | AM LONELY AND BORED. 


Dr. Selman: | will put in a request.

Note: SCP-1884-B was later provided a 
limited selection of literary classics. In 
subsequent interviews SCP-1884-A and 
SCP-1884-B noted their favorite works as 
Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights, 
respectively.

SCP-1885: Fissile Molar 


Item #: SCP-1885 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1885 is contained in a 
lead-lined concrete sleeve conforming to standards used to dispose 
of spent nuclear fuel rods. This sleeve is further contained in a blast 
safe graded as sufficient to withstand a 1 ton explosion. Every 3 
months, SCP-1885 is to be removed from its sleeve in order to take 
samples and determine the current composition and fissile state of 
its core. All sampling and testing of SCP-1885 is to be performed via 
robot. 


Following Incident 1885-A, personnel who are fully edentulous are 
preferred to staff the facility containing SCP-1885 and all 
researchers assigned to SCP-1885 are to have all their teeth 
extracted prior to being transferred to the site. Regardless of the 
number of teeth they have, all personnel assigned to the facility 
containing SCP-1885 are required to undergo a full dental exam no 
less frequently than once every 3 months. 


Description: SCP-1885 appears to be a human 3rd molar. 
However, the enamel and cementum are composed of a dense 
ceramic-like substance with a radiation shielding capacity 
comparable to 3 times its thickness of lead. Efforts are underway to 
replicate this substance. Additionally, the dentin is composed of 
purified uranium-235 neptunium-237 plutonium-240 americium-241. 
Every 17 months, the dentin will spontaneously be replaced by an 
equivalent volume of an isotope of the next element on the periodic 
table. The pulp has been replaced by an unknown substance which 
has resisted all attempts to take a sample of it. Due to radioactive 
interference from the dentin, it has not been possible to perform any 
non-invasive scans of the pulp. 


The ceramic forming the enamel and cementum has several holes in 


it, exposing the dentin and pulp, in a pattern similar to cavities 
caused by dental caries. Despite being exposed to the outside 
environment and emitting radiation consistent with normal 
radioactive decay, there has been no measurable decrease in the 
mass or volume of the dentin, aside from sampling performed by the 
Foundation. Samples removed from SCP-1885 act and decay 
identically to isotopes recovered from non-anomalous sources, and 
are not transformed when SCP-1885 next activates. However, any 
missing volume in the dentin is filled by the new element. 


Incident 1885-A: On 03/07/20 , Dr. , aresearcher assigned to 
SCP-1885, was diagnosed with stage III laryngeal cancer and stage 
IV oral/mandibular cancer. Standard medical examinations revealed 
that Dr. 's left lower 2nd molar was emitting ionizing radiation. 
The tooth was extracted under hazardous materials protocols and 
dissected. Although the enamel was normal, the dentin and pulp had 
been replaced by lawrencium-262. Despite the rapid decay rate of 
lawrencium-2622, the contents of the tooth did not diminish or decay 
into lighter elements, despite emitting radiation consistent with such 
decay. The new tooth was tentatively designated SCP-1885-2 and 
contained under protocols identical to SCP-1885. After 37 months of 
containment, the lawrencium in SCP-1885-2 was neither replaced 
by a different element, nor were the removed samples refilled. 
SCP-1885-2 was fully hollowed out on 05/12/20 and has remained 
inert since that time. 


Dr. 's course of treatment for the cancers included extensive 
surgical excision of the tumors and aggressive chemotherapy. 
Radiation therapy was considered to be too great a risk, considering 
the properties of SCP-1885. However, Dr. did not survive 
treatment. None of his teeth extracted during the surgical excision or 
recovered during his autopsy have developed any anomalous 
properties. 


(The following memo was written by Dr. shortly 
before his death.) 


SCP-1885 and those working with it must be monitored 
regularly. I've been told that my tooth contained a 
radionuclide several steps further up the chain from 
SCP-1885's current position, and if this happens again, 


we must be prepared. Even at its current rate of 
progression, in less than 30 years, SCP-1885 will begin 
producing radioactive elements we have never before 
seen. If copies of it appear that start even higher up the 
chain, we won't have a great deal of time before these 
become dangers not just to individuals such as in my 
situation, but entire populations. The original tooth may 
have a durable shell, but what if none of the subsequent 
ones do? Dental enamel isn't that difficult to crack, 
relatively speaking, and we cannot allow someone to 
walk around with a miniature nuclear warhead in their 
mouth. 


Dr.
