SCP-3619: A few days pass and they dress me up and 
put me in some kind of a show room. The doors are 
guarded, and the room is filled with other impossible 
things. There was a logo on a few things, the letters 
MC&D with the ‘and sign’ laid over top of an opened 
door. | don't know if that means anything though. 
Anyway, when the elevator opens the guy from before 
comes in with two other freaks; a clown girl and a man 
with an upside-down face. At first | thought they were 
more ‘inventory’ but instead, he starts showing wares to 
them like they're buyers. Seemed quite chummy with 
them, actually. Then they come to me, and | get a real 
good look at them. I've never seen other freaks before - 


Dr. Valdez: We prefer the term 'anomalies’. It's more 
objective. 


SCP-3619: Well objective doesn't describe my reaction 
to them! | was freaked out! 


(SCP-3619 leans back in its chair and closes its eyes 
until its head slows down) 


SCP-3619: Okay. I'm fine. The guy with the upside-down 
face, | had never seen anything like that before. He was 
Lovecraftian almost, like he's impossible and yet he 
exists and your brain is going to melt trying to make 
sense of it. The clown girl though, she was worse. The 
whole time she had a psychotic smile on her face, her 


eyes had this fucked up manic gleam to them, and when 
she got close | could tell she wasn't wearing make-up, 
that was just how she looked. 


SCP-3619: Then they started talking about the so-called 
sanctuary the guy mentioned before: a circus. They 
wanted to put me in a freak show, full of other freaks like 
them, where people would come to stare at me. The 
clown just stared spitballing ideas for what they might do 
with me: put pinwheels and fidget spinners on my head, 
use me to power a Rube Goldberg machine, give me 
ipecac to watch me projectile vomit as my head spun 
around - 


(SCP-3619 attempts to hold its head still, screams in 
pain, and then falls out of its chair) 


Dr. Valdez: Ethan! Guards, help him up. 


(The guards hoist SCP-3619 back into its chair, and Dr. 
Valdez waits for it to calm down before resuming the 
interview) 


SCP-3619: Sorry, sorry. 
Dr. Valdez: It's alright. Please, how did you escape? 


SCP-3619: After hearing this description of their circus | 
freaked out and ran for it with no real plan. Before the 
guards could tackle me | smashed a vase, just to use its 
fragments as a weapon, and it unleashed dozens of 
these Persian warrior ghost things who started tearing up 
the place. | wasn't their priority any more, so | took the 
elevator to the ground floor and bolted out of the 
building. You know the rest. | was lucky so many people 
in Hong Kong speak English. 


Dr. Valdez: It sounds like you've been through a lot. | 
know it can't be easy living with an anomaly like that, but 
we're going to do everything we can to help you adjust to 
your new condition. 


and columns. Other patterns that have been observed include basic 
circular and triangular patterns. Researchers have recorded a 
relation between arithmetical operations done by SCP-468-1 and the 
movement of SCP-468-2. For example, SCP-468-1 moving to 
multiply 10 and 32 resulted in a 10 by 32 grid pattern, with outlying 
houses forming a perimeter around the resultant grid. 


All sufficiently large animals (including horses, dogs, cats, and 
human beings) within SCP-468-2 are subject to its effects. During 
periods of SCP-468-1’s rest, affected subjects will travel between 
structures. Only SCP-468-2's roads will be used to travel. No two 
subjects will ever travel in different directions on the same road. The 
speed of travel is invariably 2.3 meters per second, with one pace 
taken every 0.6 seconds. Mathematical functions are often 
performed with affected subjects acting as counters. 


Animals susceptible to SCP-468-2's effects begin to display 
symptoms 2.5 hours after entry into the village. The initial symptom 
is the loss of all complex mental functions, such as basic 
coordination, language skills, and reasoning. After 3 hours inside, 
instinctive and reflexive actions, such as the fight or flight response, 
are forgotten. After 3.5 hours, brain activity reduces to an essentially 
comatose state, and only the knowledge of how to walk is retained. 
However, only a certain number of affected individuals actually take 
place in group movement at any given time; because of this, surplus 
beings will simply [DATA EXPUNGED]. If enough subjects are 
removed from SCP-468-2 such that the number of affected 
individuals inside is less than _, all movement will cease; it can only 
resume once members of the same species as the removed 
subjects are placed inside SCP-468-2. Despite their inability to 
consume food or water, all subjects seem to be in perfect health. 


Removing SCP-468-1 from SCP-468-2 causes all activity within 
SCP-468-2 to cease, though affected subjects do not regain lost 
mental capacity. Given the research opportunity that would be lost, 
this is prohibited. 


Addendum-468A: Before it became the focus of Foundation 
attention, SCP-468-2 was a relatively isolated community. Beginning 
January 12th, 19 , residents reported roads and houses shifting 
several meters in sudden bursts. Local authorities assumed tectonic 


SCP-3619: Is that the best | can hope for now? Adjusting 
to my condition? | want to go home. | want my life back. 
Can that even happen? 


Dr. Valdez: It could actually. We treat all anomalies very 
scientifically, and it's possible that we might be able to 
find a way to cure you. Also, sometimes anomalies do 
just neutralize themselves. If and when that happens, 
you'll be released. 


SCP-3619: You mean that? You're not just saying that to 
get me to go along with your whole alien autopsy thing? 


Dr. Valdez: (smirks) | mean it. If we're able to help you 
get better, we will. And, incidentally, The more you co- 
operate with us, the more likely we are to be successful. 


SCP-3619: (pauses) Alright, if you make this hell stop, I'll 
do whatever you want. I... thank you. | know this place is 
like Area 51 or something, but this is the first time since 
the accident I've actually felt good about something. 


(SCP-3619's head slows to its minimal rotation ration 
rate of 3 rpm)

SCP-3620: Data Expunged the Chicken 


Item #: SCP-3620 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3620 is to be contained in 
a medium-sized animal containment cage of internal volume no less 
than one cubic meter. The cage must be airtight to allow for 
monitoring of CO2 output. 


The cage is to be cleaned daily before feeding, with the mass of any 
droppings or eggs produced measured. The daily amount of feed 
and water provided must equal the mass output within an allowed 
variance of 1.5g/day. 


Description: SCP-3620 is a living entity confirmed by genetic 
testing! to be an approximately 5-year-old female domestic chicken 
(Gallus gallus domesticus). Behavior and vocalizations are 
consistent with those of a chicken, as are the appearance of all 
tissue samples taken. 


SCP-3620 presents visually as a two-dimensional white plane 
featuring a pictograph and a series of curved lines hypothetized to 
be language, although they match no previously-encountered 
alphabet. The size of the plane appears the same relative to the 
observer's field of view, regardless of distance, and the plane 
appears parallel to the observer's field of view, regardless of viewing 
angle. Roughly 1 in 5 observers report mild to moderate headaches 
after viewing SCP-3620. 


Testing indicates that SCP-3620 is physically invariant. It weighs 
724.33g, regardless of factors that would normally affect mass. Any 
tissue samples removed from the specimen, such as drawn blood, 
plucked feathers, and even entire removed body parts, are instantly 
replaced. Separated mass appears non-anomalous and degrades at 
a normal rate. Factors indicating age have consistently pointed to 


SCP-3620 being approximately 5 years old, despite having been in 
Foundation custody since 1983-07-05. 


As the amount of material produced and consumed by SCP-3620 do 
not appear to adhere to the standard laws of conservation of mass, 
any mass shed naturally or removed during the course of testing 
must be replaced by an equal mass of food to prevent long-term 
planetary mass discrepancy.

Interviewer: Agent S 


Foreword: Interview conducted on 
1983-07-05 following recovery of SCP-3620 
under protocol "ORNOT". AgentS posing as 
an agent of the Ripley Entertainment Inc. 


<Begin Log> 


AgentS_: So tell us about how you came to 
acquire this... animal. 


Mr.P  :1!mean, I'm pretty sure she was a 
normal chicken. | counted 'em after and, with 
this weird one, there weren't none missing. So 
| guess | acquired her in the normal way 
chickens get made, if you understand my 
meaning. Then something got her all weird like 
this. 


Agent S_ : Can you describe what happened 
exactly? 


Mr.P — : Well, | didn't see it happen or 
nothing. A loud noise woke me up, like... like a 
thunderclap mixed with an orchestra going 
through a wheat thresher. | thought I'd dreamt 


it at first, you Know how it is when you just 
woke up, but when | went outside | figured it 
was connected with this thing. Looked 
enormous when | saw it at first, but it shrank 
when | walked closer or something. Like not 
exactly that, but like it always looks the same 
size, no matter how far away from it you are? 
But when | got close, it was just down there 
walking around and clucking like nothing was 
out of the ordinary. Other birds seemed a bit 
wary of it, though. 


Agent S_ : Have you told anyone else about 
this? 


Mr.P — : Naw, pretty much called you Believe 
It Or Not guys first thing. | 'spect you pay pretty 
well for weird shit like this, so | didn't want 
anyone else taking pictures or whatever. 


Agent S_: Well, this certainly is an exciting 
item. Come along with me and I'll take you 
over to our purchasing department and we'll 
work out a good price for this girl. 


Mr.P =: Sounds good! 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Mr.P was 
administered class C amnestics, paid $10 for 
the loss of one chicken, and returned to his 
farm.

Document 3620-3: Interview with Dr. Charlene M following death 


of Dr. Daniel F 
Show interview 


Interviewed: Dr. Charlene M__, lead 
researcher, SCP-3620 


Interviewer: Agent R , internal review 
committee 


Foreword: On 20 -04-12, junior researcher 
Dr. Daniel F was found dead in his office 
of apparent suicide. Autopsy revealed a 
massive overdose of injected paralytics. A 
classification-review investigation was 
launched to determine whether or not the 
suicide would indicate a cause to change the 
"Safe" classification of SCP-3620. 


<Begin Log> 
Interviewer: Can you tell us about Mr. F ? 


Dr.M_ : Well, | can tell you he'd get pissed off 
at you calling him "mister" instead of "doctor". 


Interviewer: My apologies. Dr. F 


Dr.M_ :No problem. He was pretty new to 


the team — pretty fresh out of grad school, in 
fact — and this was his first assignment here. 
We were working on seeing if Spongy could- 


Interviewer: (interrupting) I'm sorry, 
"Spongy?" 


Dr.M_ : Oh. Yeah, it's kind of a nickname we 
gave SCP-3620. Spongy. Short for 'Data 
Expunged'. | know we're supposed to stay 
detached, but it's hard when you work with one 
of the animate ones for years, and frankly, 
'SCP-3620' is a bit of a mouthful. 


Interviewer: | see. Please continue. 


Dr.M_ :We were working on seeing if 
SCP-3620 could be used as a food source. 
She's basically a chicken, and so when you 
pull off a wing or a leg or cut off a chunk of 
breast or whatever, it's made of regular old 
chicken meat, and a new part pops right back 
no matter how much we chop off. But we have 
to keep things balanced. "Wanted Buffalo 
wings so much the extra mass threw off 
Earth's orbit" would be one of the more 
embarrassing XKs to cause, you know? 


Interviewer: Right. 


Dr.M_ : So Dan was helping me out with 
making a denser feed and measuring how 
much we could get her to eat in a day, and | 
saw him just stop and get this far-away look in 
his eyes. Then he said he had to go to his 
office. That was the last | saw of him. The last 
anyone saw of him, | guess. 


Interviewer: Could the feeding protocol have 
triggered an effect? 


Dr. M_ : Unlikely. After it happened, we 
brought in a few D-class to try and recreate it, 
and none of them had a problem. 


Interviewer: So in your professional opinion, 


do you believe that Dr. F 's suicide was 
due to an anomalous effect created by 
SCP-3620? 


Dr.M_ :1 donot. At least, not like a memetic 
or telepathic effect. I've personally been 
studying this for three years now, it's been in 
custody since the 80s, and this is the first time 
anything like this has happened. You tend to 
become a bit numb to the weirdness around 
here, but someone as new as Dan... We think 
of the Euclids and the Keters as the scary 
ones, so we forget that even quote-unquote- 
safe skips can destroy someone's whole 
worldview, you know?

SCP-3621: Best Intentions 


WARNING: Unknown character sets detected in below report. Please contact 
the System Administrator at first opportunity. 


Item #: SCP-3621 


Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3621 is to be contained in 
the High-Security Vault of Dimensional Site-04. Testing with 
SCP-3621 is not permitted at this time, under any circumstances 
without direct approval by a majority of the O5 council. 


Documentation regarding Hume level fluctuations regarding 
SCP-3621 are available in Document-3621-S-1, and 
Document-3621-S-2. Compositional reports are available in 
Document-3621-S-3. 


One Scranton Reality Anchor is to be located within the containment 
chamber of SCP-3621, at all times. 


Description: SCP-3621 is the skeletal remains of former 
Foundation employee Dr. Michael Magnus, deceased July 17, 20 . 
SCP-3621 constantly generates a low level elevated Hume field, 
which has proven to be disruptive to the function of Dimensional 
Site-04. 


Due to the volatile nature of Dimensional Anchoring, and the 
elevated Hume levels, at this time SCP-3621 is not to be moved. 


At this time, no testing shall be permitted with SCP-3621. If testing 
with Hume fields is required, refer to document SCRANTON- 
SAGE-6-A-47 to determine if a Scranton Reality Field Generator is 
appropriate for testing. 


Addendum 1: Due to the nature of SCP-3621, at this time, access 


to Secure Storage at Dimensional Site-04 is restricted to those on 
the approved list located at [LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE REQUIRED].
