This file describes an anomaly set on a future date. Information 
was gained from anomalous phenomena. 


The decision to document a future anomaly was approved 
unanimously by HMCL Administration. Personnel are authorized to 
be cautious when activating Operation Kasum, as the true properties 
of SCP-3761 are uncertain. 


Secure. Contain. Protect. 


- Jane Erwin, RAISA 


Item #: SCP-3761 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: As of 09/5/1986, Operation 
Kasum has been enacted by order of 05-8 and will be ongoing until 
07/30/2063. Operation Kasum consists of the following procedures: 


¢ 24 hours before SCP-3761 occurs, Butler County, Kansas, 
USA shall be deemed a no-fly zone, and all civilian access is 
to be denied. Civilians already present within the county are to 
be transported to Sedgewick County under the cover story of 
a natural disaster. 


her spouse were killed in the crash. The subject, being unconscious, 
has no clear recollection of the accident. 


« SCP-485 | SCP-486 | SCP-487 » 


Over the course of 50 years, 125,000,000 lab-grown Sciuridae 
specimens that are less intelligent than SCP-3761-A are to be 
created. These specimens are being created at over 200 
Sites/Areas!, each using anomalous biotechnology to produce 
the specimens. Upon the appearance of SCP-3761, all of the 
specimens are to be released into the public for the purpose 
of spreading across the Earth according to plans present 
within Document 179-M, which should replace most of the 
squirrels that would participate and be killed in SCP-3761. 


Each specimen is to be placed within a Sciuridae Containment 
and Protection Facility (SCaPF). Each SCaPF is capable of 
holding 2 million squirrels indefinitely, and 30 million 
temporarily. Every squirrel has had Formula Class-877 Mass- 
Reproduction Aerosol Recipe applied to them, which causes 
constant fertilization of females, and would allow each 
specimen to gestate 6-10 offspring at once. Large amounts of 
squirrels are to be relocated to another SCaPF unit if the 
current one is full. 


The existence of SCP-3761-A's true intelligence is to be 
slowly introduced into the public under the guise of scientific 
discoveries over the course of 50 years. The stereotype that 
squirrels are unintelligent is to be replaced with the stereotype 
that squirrels are as intelligent as humans in modern culture. 
This will be done by inserting squirrel characters into popular 
television programs/movies/books that are seen as extremely 
smart. More information can be found within Document 818-Y. 


Mobile Task Force Tau-63 ("Vermin Supreme") is to collect 
any carvings within trees created by squirrels and prevent any 
from reaching the public, and are to transport them to Site-119 
for research. Amnestics are to be administered to any civilians 
found to have knowledge regarding SCP-3761 and/or carvings 
created by SCP-3761-A. 


Extensive containment procedures are not currently 
necessary for SCP-3761-1, as they are currently allies with 
the Foundation and have agreed to not expose themselves to 
the public. However, SCP-3761-1 are to be monitored at all 
times, and are to be deterred from Kansas by any means 


necessary during SCP-3761. 


¢ All squirrel based anomalies currently under Foundation 
control are to be heavily monitored and are to undergo revised 
containment procedures during SCP-3761. Personnel 
assigned to squirrel based anomalies are to view Document 
226-U for more information. 


Site-119 has been created in Butler County, Kansas as an area for 
Foundation personnel to observe SCP-3761 when it occurs and for 
the creation of squirrel specimens. A site dossier has been sent to 
personnel with 2/3761 clearance by request of the Site Director of 
Site-119. 


After Incident-2A7, Site-119 and Site-551 Administration have 
unanimously voted for the secondary use of Site-551 as a research 
facility for anomalous entities/ohenomena that are suspected to be 
connected to SCP-3761. Personnel with 3/3761 clearance are 
required to view the Site-551 Dossier for more information. 


Description: SCP-3761 is the designation for an anomalous event 
that will occur on 07/23/2063, which is currently theorized to be the 
date of an event affecting all species of Sciuridae (squirrels). 
SCP-3761's existence has been identified by prediction based 
anomalies as well as multiple texts of varying origins that show 
similar outcomes on the aforementioned date. 


It is currently theorized that during SCP-3761, every squirrel on 
Earth will dig a hole approximately .5 meters underneath their 
current location, in which a space-time anomaly will manifest, 
transporting each squirrel to .5 meters directly underneath Butler 
County, Kansas, USA. The squirrels will dig out of their holes, and 
will attack one another in an unknown manner (see SCP-3761 
Documentation 3761-2). SCP-3761 will end on 07/24/2063, whereby 
all surviving squirrels will utilize the stated space-time anomaly to 
return to their original locations, and will refill the holes with dirt once 
they have successfully transported back. 


SCP-3761-A is the collective designation for all squirrels on Earth. It 
has been observed that SCP-3761-A ranks approximately an 8.9-9.1 
on the FAITH scale.2 SCP-3761-A as a whole are capable of 


learning human languages and can communicate by carving into the 
bark of trees. However, squirrels have never attempted to 
communicate with humans, and all attempts at an interview with a 
squirrel have been met with failure. In extremely rare cases, it has 
been observed that SCP-3761-A instances are capable of verbal 
communication (see SCP-3761 Documentation 3761-3). 


SCP-3761-1 designates a religious group, colloquially known as the 
"Church of Patteeism", that practices the belief of squirrel and 
human equality. Members of the group include individuals of varying 
ethnic background and age groups. Most of SCP-3761-1's members 
live within an area in __, India that it has dubbed "The Secluded 
Oak." Further information regarding this location is unavailable to 
the Foundation.’ The current leader of SCP-3761-1 is Grand 
Prophet Timothy Lockridge. 


SCP-3761-1 has been observed performing rituals to appease their 
deity, which is referred to as "Us WUT"", or "Tree Critter". The nature 
of said rituals vary greatly, and have been observed to have 
included praying, preparation of food, the burning of wood 
sculptures in the shape of a falcon, and simple chanting. 


A mantra is used during these rituals, and is regarded as a vital part 
of it. The following is an English version of the mantra confiscated 
from an SCP-3761-1 outpost: 


We were once with the Trees, 

Rolling plains as far as the eye can see. 

Out of the tree we went, walking with the Grass Sea, 
Out of the caring leaves that made us Free, 

Our ancestors saw what their brethren would be, 
And would watch over us in the Canopy, 

Tree Critter ditto shows pity, 


He raises His hand and shows our only Quality, 


His light guiding us to Equality, 


Where we once more can be with the Trees. 


According to confiscated text "Hand of the Trees"4, Tree Critter has 
the body structure of a human, and the head of a squirrel. Tree 
Critter is said to wear only a red and white striped robe with a hood 
that covers their eyes, and is noted to always carry a large 
unidentified scroll.5 According to Hand of the Trees, Tree Critter is 
capable of taking the form of anything it desires, but it chooses the 
previously aforementioned form when communicating with 


SCP-3761-1. 


SCP-3761-1 has stated on multiple occasions that it will attempt to 
assist in SCP-3761, however it is currently unknown how they will 


accomplish this. 


Addendum.-A: Abridged list of anomalies used to verify SCP-3761's 


existence: 


Anomaly 
SCP-1032 


SCP-187 


SCP-411 


Method of Prediction 
SCP-1032 displays a hand that 
reads "The War of the Squirrels" 
which will reach its midnight event 
on 07/24/2063, suggesting that 
SCP-3767 will only last 24 hours. 
SCP-187 states that she feels 
extremely uncomfortable and 
upset whenever she is within 
Butler County, Kansas. She 
states that the entire area is filled 
with holes that have squirrel 
carcasses within them. 

SCP-411 has, on multiple 
occasions, said that it 
"remembers" the "The Battle of 
the Tree Rats" occurring on 
07/23/2063 in "The Breadbasket 
of America." SCP-411 has stated 
that it does not wish to grant any 


SCP-2327 


SCP-2050 


SCP-2003 


SCP-2707 


more information than this. 

After SCP-2327 specimens leave 
instances of SCP-2327-1, a 
message is almost always found 
within the subjects’ stomach 
lining, most likely written with their 
claws before attempting to 
escape. An autopsy of an 
SCP-2327-1 instance reveals that 
itreads “Remmember warr [sic]”. 
SCP-2050 regards SCP-3761 as 
a extremely important event to 
them, and states that it would rival 
the "Crusades of the 
Woodchucks". It is unknown what 
this refers to. Additionally, 
SCP-2050 believes that Kansas is 
actually the Middle East country 
of Palestine. 

Determinate Set XL continues 
normally in a manner similar to 
XN until 07/23/2063 where all 
species of Sciuridae go 
completely extinct from an 
unknown virus that spreads only 
through squirrel species. The 
virus is regarded as "The TAKE 
CARE Virus" by local scientific 
groups for unknown reasons. 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. If SCP-2707 
is to live beyond its suspected 
natural life-span, SCP-2707 is to 
be decommissioned on 
07/22/2063. Failure to do so will 
result in a CK-Class Dominance 
Shift scenario. 


Addendum-B: LEVEL 3 CLEARANCE REQUIRED TO ACCESS 


THE FOLLOWING FILES 


SCP-3761 DOCUMENTATION-1 


Hand of the Trees 


The following are excerpts from Hand of the Trees, 
SCP-3761-1's religious text. The text is written entirely in 
Hindi, and has been translated to English. 


A sapling grew from the Rocky Grounds 
below, birthing bountiful fruit. From the fruits 
came a great Being, Tree Critter. Tree Critter 
tasted the fruit, and thought it plentiful. From 
the fruit, Tree Critter created other great 
Beings, the Wild Gods. Attuned to the nature 
around them, Wild Gods were in harmony with 
their surroundings. Wub're, The Frog God, 
ruled the shallow lakes and ponds. Psaw, The 
Flower Mistress, ruled over the Flowers and 
the Bees. Coy'te, The Joker, ruled over the 
Wolves and the Predators. Wei'kaamukuu, the 
Healer, ruled over the great Stallions of The 
Breadlands. And of course, Tree Critter ruled 
over the Squirrels that populated the land. - 
Paragraph 2. 


Mess'r, The Tinker, was the last to Rise with 
Tree Critter. Mess'r asked Tree Critter with a 
Voice: "Oh great Critter, what may | rule over?" 
Tree Critter responded, "You will rule over the 
Rulers, you will watch over the Watchers, you 
are the God of Gods." Mess'r walked the 
Rocky Grounds with two legs, using their front 
hands to carry the World. On his left shoulder 
the Values, and on his right shoulder the Tree 
for which new fruit shall be grown. And with 
Mess'r's intellect birthed all of Creation and 


Complexity, both flesh and metal and the 
inbetween. And it was glorious. -Paragraph 5. 


Mess'r did bear children, and those children 
did bear children, and with that created 
Humanity and all of its followers. Mess'r's 
legacy lived on in their offspring. With the new 
found Humanity, they built a world where 
Mess'r's legacy would rule over the Wild Gods 
and their offspring. Mess'r said to Tree Critter: 
"Oh great Critter, | have ruled over the Rulers, 
| have watched over the Watchers, | have 
become the God of Gods, what else is there 
for me in this world?" Tree Critter responded: 
"Your job here is done, Tinker. May you rest in 
peace, and let Humanity shape this world for 
the better." Mess'r smiled, as they slowly sank 
into the Rocky Grounds. From their grave, 
came a new tree, bearing new fruit. - 
Paragraph 13 


A man of noble heart walked the Rocky 
Grounds, in search for food for his family. That 
man was The Caretaker, one that studied the 
ways of Tree Critter, Humanity, and 
Squirrelkind. The Caretaker walked into the 
Great Tree, and into the bakery. The Baker 
said: "Caretaker, Son of Tree Critter, | am 
blessed that you have arrived in our great 
city." The Caretaker responded: "/ am only 
here for a simple request. My family is 
starving, and | require bread to sustain them." 
The Caretaker took the offered bread. - 
Paragraph 179 


The Caretaker heard a crunch underneath his 
foot, for he looked down and saw a dead 
squirrel underneath. The Great Tree witnessed 
the forfeit of the life of one of their own. Many 
gasped, many screamed, all of them scared. 
The blood seeped into the ground, and birthed 
a new tree, with withered bark and grey fruit, 
siphoning all hope and sanctuary from the 
land, known to many as the "Heart of 
Corruption." A holy flash appeared to The 
Caretaker, and a familiar voice introduced 
themselves. "Oh, Great Caretaker, you have 
violated the laws of the Forest. A life was 
snuffed out by your careless eye, and allowed 
entry into Narak from the Heart of Corruption. 
Leave, or face my relentless punishment." The 
Caretaker pleaded, stating that this wasn't of 
malicious drive, of how he values the life of 
squirrels and the world's sanctity very much. - 
Paragraph 180 


"lam deeply sorry, Tree Critter, but | cannot 
leave, my family will starve if | do not get food 
for them! | shall cut down the Heart of 
Corruption and cleanse myself of malice." Tree 
Critter shed a tear, and trapped The Caretaker 
in a prison of light. "| am deeply sorry as well, 
Caretaker." Tree Critter summoned Kara, The 
Eternal Spear, and prepared to banish The 
Caretaker to the depths of Narak. Tree Critter 
lowered his hand, snuffed the Heart of 
Corruption, and began to rise into the air. "I 
have more important matters to attend to. If 
you truly care for the Forest, you will leave it." 
The Caretaker left the Great Tree, never to 
return. -Paragraph 181 


Many of Squirrelkind despised The Caretaker. 
"His carelessness has cost us the life of one 
held dear, and stained The Great Tree. If Tree 
Critter shall not punish them, we will." Others 
forgave The Caretaker for his actions. "It was 
a pure accident, The Caretaker is a Man noble 
at heart, friend of Nature and Squirrelkind, the 
Heart of Corruption was not his corruption." 
The Squirrels that despised The Caretaker 
planned a punishment of the highest order: the 
defilement of their homeland, just like he did to 
theirs. Whether alive or dead, The Caretaker's 
legacy will be tarnished for all eternity. Time 
will be needed to prepare, many hundreds of 
years will be spent preparing to tarnish The 
Breadlands. -Paragraph 183 


The Squirrels who forgave The Caretaker 
heard of this plan, and would intercept their 
attack on The Breadlands on the day of the 
attack. Soon, the Squirrels who despised The 
Caretaker learned of this, and it would be 
agreed that a great Battle would be held on the 
grounds of The Caretaker's homeland. And by 
decision of Squirrelkind, it would be called 
"Nubelere de Hoyo", or in Humanity's tongue 
"The War of The Squirrels," and it would be 
glorious. -Paragraph 184
