The bio-containment chamber will be monitored by no less than four 
cameras at all times, in order to maintain full containment of all 
organisms within the chamber. SCP subjects may be removed from 
the chamber for testing only under sedation in fully sealed transport 
containers by researchers equipped with Level 4 bio-containment 


suits and trained in hostile carnivore capture. Any wounds suffered 
while handling SCP-2289-1 through 7 will be brought to the attention 
of Site-66 officers for medical evaluation. 


Description: SCP-2289 is a novel strain of Devil Facial Tumor 
Disease, a transmissible cancer endemic in the Tasmanian devil 
(Sarcophilus harrisii), and spread by introduction of infected tissue to 
skin lesions. SCP-2289's progression is such that multiple 
metastasizing tumors grow over the infected vertebrate. 85% of the 
tumors are concentrated on the craniofacial region and the throat, 
with the remainder dispersed on the skin in other locations. 
Approximately 2.5% of tumors are expressed on internal organs. 
Death in the original disease usually occurs due to starvation, as the 
growing tumors prevent proper feeding over time. 


SCP-2289 has three additional characteristics that has caused it to 
come to the attention of the Foundation. First, the tumors generate 
their own fully functional eyes, with ocular eruption occurring 
between 5-7 days after first appearance of the tumor. This can help 
to compensate for the fact that the tumors themselves may occlude 
the natural eyes. Second, SCP-2289 has proven capable of crossing 
the species barrier, resulting in potential infection of all vertebrates 
tested to date. Third, all living infected vertebrates are not only 
capable of seeing through the eyes generated by the tumors, but the 
eyes on all other infected vertebrates’ tumors. The method of the 
transmission of visual information between infected vertebrates and 
the range of communication between infected vertebrates has not 
yet been determined. 


SCP-2289-1 through 7 are the present known individuals infected 
with SCP-2289. SCP-2289-1 through 5 are Tasmanian devils, three 
female and two male. SCP-2289-6 is a scarlet macaw (Ara macao), 
infected as part of Experiment 2289-D, and held for continued 
observation. SCP-2289-7 is formerly D-435966, infected during a 
containment breach when it was cleaning the SCP-2289 enclosure. 
All seven subjects express multiple craniofacial tumors, with ocular 
eruptions on each tumor. SCP-2289-3 has expressed a tumor and 
eye on its tail. SCP-2289-7 has a tumor with ocular eruption on its 
left hand. All neoplastic eyes are of the devil type, even on non-devil 
species. 


Addendum: Interview 2289-12 
Interviewed: SCP-2289-7 
Interviewer: Dr. Roderick Argent 


Foreword: Routine interview between Dr. R. Argent and 
SCP-2289-7. Purpose of routine interviews is to check 
self-reported health issues in SCP-2289-1 through 7 
between veterinary examinations. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. R. Argent: Good morning, SCP-2289-7. How are 
you feeling today? 


SCP-2289-7: Pretty good, | suppose, for having a 
terminal cancer that turns you into a deformed freak. 


Dr. R. Argent: The tumor on your mandibular alveolar 
process is not interfering with your feeding habits? 


SCP-2289-7: Eh? Could you repeat that? I'm seeing 
better than | hear out of my left ear these days. 


Dr. R. Argent: The tumor on your chin. Is it interfering 
with your eating? 


SCP-2289-7: Nah, | can eat just fine. Check on Cinco, 
though. An eye just formed on the back of his throat 
yesterday. | realized it when he hissed at Uno. Also, 
another new eye is dark, mostly. | think it's on Dos's liver. 
Not sure. 


Dr. R. Argent: Thank you, I'll inform the veterinarian and 
have those looked at right away. | just want you to know 
that we at the Foundation truly appreciate your 
cooperation with personnel regarding SCP-2289. 


SCP-2289-7: Hey, it's no biggie. You guys have treated 
me better than anyone in years, since | got infected. 
Yeah, I'm still a prisoner and | share my cell with a bunch 


of devils and a red bird, but mama always told me I'd end 
up living with devils, anyway. | mean, yeah, now | gotta 
stare at Tres's ass all the time, but you guys are doing 
what you can to keep us alive and comfortable, for the 
most part. 


Dr. R. Argent: Have you noticed any other senses 
forming since your infection? More than extra visual 
stimulus? Sounds? Smells? Taste? Tactile stimuli? 


SCP-2289-7: What? Oh, this is going back to the hive 
mind theory, or like sentient cancer or something. No, | 
haven't. But like, we are talking about some marsupial 
wolverines and a bird. | don't think I'd be thinking much 
more from them but eat, sleep, fuck. | do that, already. 


Dr. R. Argent: How about thoughts the other way? Can 
you direct SCP-2289-1 through 6? 


SCP-2289-7: Hah! You're talking about me getting /os 
diablos to do as | say? The hell | can! It's more like we're 
family, now. All we got is perspective. We know what 
each other sees. Keeps the aggression down when you 
gotta watch you hissing at yourself. We all know we're 
dying. You keep talking about who gets to control who, 
when all you need is a little compassion, you know? You 
keep looking for power? Well, this cancer ain't it. 
Except... 


Dr. R. Argent: Except? 


SCP-2289-7: ...Except I'm probably really good at 173 
duty now. 


Dr. R. Argent: ...Would you— 
SCP-2289-7: NO.

« SCP-2288 | SCP-2289 | SCP-2290 » 


SCP-2290: It's fine. 


Item #: SCP-2290 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: An area covering approximately 
1 km? around SCP-2290's primary area of effect is to be isolated 
from unnecessary traffic. If an individual witnesses any anomalous 
behavior or physical conflicts between SCP-2290-1 instances, they 
are to be restricted from exiting SCP-2290's area of effect until the 
0500 reset event. 


Individuals who enter SCP-2290's area of effect on a regular basis 
and leave before the 0500 reset are not to accumulate knowledge of 
SCP-2290's existence. Class B amnestics are approved for use in 
eliminating such knowledge. 


Phone calls originating from SCP-2290's residence to emergency 
services are to be redirected to secure Foundation phone lines. 
Under no conditions are active Foundation staff to be allowed inside 
SCP-2290's area of effect between 0300 and 0500 local time. All 
surveillance of SCP-2290-1 instances during this time period is to be 
accomplished utilizing local individuals or automated drones. 


Description: SCP-2290 is an effect which is centered around a 
home in Stockbridge, Massachusetts that houses a family of three 
(identified as SCP-2290-1 instances). At 0500 local time, the 
SCP-2290-1 instances will be immediately relocated to this home 
regardless of their current location. Additionally, injury to any of the 
instances will be immediately healed (up to and including death). 


Any individual which is inside an area approximately 1 km? around 
the SCP-2290's primary residence will, at 0500, lose any memory of 
the SCP-2290-1 instances beyond baseline knowledge. Baseline 
knowledge of SCP-2290-1 instances include the following 
information: 


It is a family of three living in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. 

* These individuals are Jonathan Jenkins (SCP-2290-1-A), 

Sophie Jenkins (SCP-2290-1-B), and Josie Jenkins 

(SCP-2290-1-C). 

These individuals have lived at their current address for 3 

years. 

¢ SCP-2290-1-A is aged 43 and is employed as a bricklayer at a 
construction company. 

¢ SCP-2290-1-B is aged 36 and is a stay-at-home mother. 

* SCP-2290-1-C is aged 9 and is a student at a local 

elementary school. 


Despite the anomaly's 15 year containment SCP-2290-1 instances 
invariably appear to have an age consistent with these details. This 
is believed to be related to the reset event. 


SCP-2290 anomalous properties were first documented during an 
incident involving Child Protective Services which resulted in the 
removal of SCP-2290-1-C from the residence. The following 
morning SCP-2290-1-C was no longer at the protective home in 
which she had been placed. Child Protective Services removed the 
child an additional 3 times before a UIU agent implanted in CPS 
brought the situation to the Foundation's attention. 


A failure of current containment procedures occurred on November 
15th, 2005. Police were contacted by a neighbor with regards to an 
abusive event originating from SCP-2290-1-A. Police entered the 
home and SCP-2290-1-C was removed from the premises. The 
following interview with Foundation staff took place prior to the 
subsequent reset event. 


Date and Time: November 5th, 2005 at 19:04 
Interviewer: Agent Melissa Malcolm 
Subject: SCP-2290-1-C 


Location: A previously established Foundation adjunct 
site outside of SCP-2290's area of effect. 


Transcript: 


Agent Malcolm: Hello, little one. I'm Agent Malcolm. 


SCP-2290-1-C does not respond. Agent Malcolm 
produces a stuffed elephant doll and sets it on the table 
in front of SCP-2290-1-C. 


Agent Malcolm: He can't hurt you here. | promise. 


SCP-2290-1-C takes the doll and holds it for the 
remainder of the interview. 


SCP-2290-1-C: Yes he can. 

Agent Malcolm: Why do you say that? 
SCP-2290-1-C pauses for several seconds. 
SCP-2290-1-C: He doesn't want me to talk to you. 
Agent Malcolm: | promise you, I'm just here to help. 
SCP-2290-1-C: Are you going to make me forget? 
Agent Malcolm: What do you mean? 


SCP-2290-1-C: | think | wrote myself a note. It said I'll 
forget what he did when tomorrow comes. 


Agent Malcolm: Josie, what else did the note say? 


SCP-2290-1-C: It said | get to play with mommy all day 
before he comes home. 


Agent Malcolm: We're working very hard to get you and 
your mother out of there Josie. 


SCP-2290-1-C: The note said you'd forget too. 
Agent Malcolm: | promise that | won't Josie. 


SCP-2290-1-C: | don't mind. | wanna forget. I'm just glad 
that we can both wake up happy. 


Agent Malcolm concluded the interview at this point. 
SCP-2290-1-C was given a sedative and slept until the 
0500 reset point. 


The doll given to SCP-2290-1-C by Agent Malcolm disappeared with 
the instance the following morning. Current surveillance has 
concluded that the doll is in the possession of the SCP-2290-1-C 
instance and persists over resets.

SCP-2291: FUN BOX 


Item #: SCP-2291 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2291 is stored in 
Anomalous Item Locker ECD-2291 in Site 19. As direct physical 
contact with SCP-2291 is prohibited, only D-Class personnel are 
authorized to move the item. Research involving SCP-2291 is 
prohibited without the express permission of Dr. Mbeke or Site-19’s 
senior administrative staff. Individuals that touch SCP-2291 directly 
are to be designated SCP-2291-A, administered a Class B 
amnestic, and placed into confinement for 3 months or until cleared 
by a supermajority of Site-19's psychiatric panel. Individuals that still 
show symptoms after this period are to be terminated. 


Description: SCP-2291 is a corrugated cardboard box with a edge 
length of 15cm. The word “FUN” is printed in large, black capital 
letters on each side. There are no gaps or joints on SCP-2291's 
surface, suggesting that it was formed whole rather than being 
folded from a flat sheet. D-Class personnel report a rattling noise 
issuing from SCP-2291 when moved, suggesting that it contains one 
or more smaller objects. All attempts to access SCP-2291's interior 
via destructive means have failed, as have imaging studies intended 
to probe the interior. Level-3 personnel and above may request Test 
Logs 2291 -1 though -4 for more details. 


SCP-2291 was recovered from the offices of Corporate 
Solutions in , Ohio. Foundation assets were alerted after the 
entire staff of Corporate Solutions was reported missing within 


a period of 2 days. Mobile Task Force Rho-9 ("The Dundies") was 
assigned to investigate, and recovered SCP-2291 along with 18 
instances of SCP-2291-A, identified as the former employees of 
Corporate Solutions. These individuals were found at their 
workstations, suffering from sleep deprivation and mild dehydration. 


Following test logs from March 9, 2009 were impromptu testing on 
an unpowered SCP-261 prompted by power loss in the wing that the 
SCP-261 is kept in during lunchtime. Results are listed as usual. 


Money entered: 500 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item description: Blastola Cola. Blue and orange can, with 
advertisement on the side for "CAPTAIN COMIC XII PRE-RELEASE 
GIVEAWAY!" No such game is known to exist. Soda tasted of cola 
sweetened with cane sugar. After drinking, subject was seen to 
belch a puff of what has been described as "cold fire". Subject was 
uninjured. A workplace safety poster that was struck with the cloud 
was briefly covered in a thin layer of frost. 


Money entered: 500 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item description: Pile O' Slugs. A produce box, typical of the sort 
used to pack strawberries, full of live garden slugs. Label on the lid 
was hand-written in English. While not consumed, later testing 
revealed that the slugs contained large amounts of vitamin C, E, and 
most of the B complex (except riboflavin). Also contained large 
amounts of arsenic. 


Money entered: 500 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item description: Unknown name. Aluminum box containing brick 
of gelatinous green material. When opened, material began to 
scream. Item was not consumed. When tested later the material had 
shriveled into a tiny green flake suspended in water, and was 
capable of emitting a 10 dB whispering noise. All attempts to identify 
nature of material failed; flake reportedly curled in on itself and 
dissolved shortly after testing began. 


Money entered: 200 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item description: Bright yellow, elongated package made of 
cellophane, resembling a banana peel. Language of label is 
identified as a combination of Welsh and Spanish, and when 
translated reads as, "Banana Easier to Open! Making Your Banana 
Opening Easy!" Package contained a bright yellow food item 


Direct physical contact with SCP-2291 is to be considered a Delta- 
class cognitohazard. Those who do so are to be designated 
SCP-2291-A and experience the following symptoms: 


¢ All communication by SCP-2291-A instances is altered. 
SCP-2291-A instances involuntarily replace some adjectives, 
especially those involving emotion, with the word “fun”. 

* SCP-2291-A instances smile constantly, even while sleeping. 

* SCP-2291 significantly alters how SCP-2291-A instances 
express and experience emotion. Immediately after initial 
exposure, subjects report increased feelings of happiness and 
significantly reduced resistance to authority. As the time of 
exposure to SCP-2291 increases, however, symptoms 
change; subjects repeatedly exposed to SCP-2291 for a 
period greater than 2 weeks become reliant on SCP-2291's 
effects to experience pleasure. When isolated from 
SCP-2291, these subjects temporarily lose their ability to 
normally process endorphins. In addition to a suppressed 
ability to experience pleasure, these individuals experience 
symptoms analogous to extreme doses of Naloxone in opiate 
abusers; restlessness, sweating, and headache are common. 


When isolated from SCP-2291, SCP-2291-A instances typically 
recover within 3 months. Recovery is negatively correlated with 
exposure time; the less time a subject spends near SCP-2291, the 
greater their chance of recovery. 


Interview Log 2291-17-3: The first 18 known SCP-2291-A subjects 
were the employees of Corporate Solutions, all of whom were 
detained during the recovery of SCP-2291. The following interview 
has been deemed notable due to its content.
