Notes: Heather Maxwell’s sister, described by 
her doctors as “hours” from death by ovarian 
cancer, fully recovered after the policy was 
ended. An elderly friend of Dominick Maxwell 
later claimed to feel especially rejuvenated, 
and was described by others as looking and 


acting “decades” younger. 


Date: 11/06/2005 

Subject: Robert and Vivian Gomez, policy 
holders since 1974, enacted at respective 
ages of 65 and 60. Vincent Gomez, a son, was 
born in 1990. 

Results: Both Gomezes collapsed and aged 
as in previous cases, but neither survived. 
Vincent Gomez panicked as he slowly aged in 
reverse, shrinking first into an infant, then into 
a fetus, then an embryo, before vanishing 
entirely. 

Notes: The next-door neighbors of the 
Gomezes, a couple who were unable to 
conceive over the past seven years of their 
marriage, had twins nine months after the 
policy was ended.

SCP-2648: CJ's Shroom Farm and the Angering of 
the Fleshball on Acid 


Item #: SCP-2648 
Object Class: Safe (pending Euclid) 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-2648's low threat 
level, no task force is currently assigned to containment of 
SCP-2648 itself. Anywhere from five to seven qualified personnel 
from nearby Site-42 are assigned to SCP-2648 at random for 28-day 
intervals before rotating out with the next round of personnel. 
SCP-2648 must be under constant 24/7 observation, and must be 
prevented from accumulating any additional matter. As of 07/13/17, 
SCP-2648 is housed in a standard steel shipping container at the 
site of its origin, and is approximately 4 meters in diameter with a 
roughly spherical shape. Offsite containment of SCP-2648 is 
currently impossible due to lack of cooperation from the land owner, 
POI-2648, but is pending. 


Due to the sheer size of POI-2648's land and the fact that nearly all 
of it has been contaminated with hallucinogenic substances, 
operatives of MTF Lambda-14 ("Drug-Runners") are assigned to 
monitor groundwater and soil composition and if necessary interfere 
with local water supply infrastructure in order to prevent the spread 
of compounds to the greater Outer Banks area. If necessary, 
Lambda-14 operatives may assist in containment of SCP-2648 itself, 
should the need arise. Lambda-14 operatives should communicate 
water and soil test readings to SCP-2648's containment personnel 
at least once weekly. 


Due to the remote location of the events and the anomaly in 
question, it is unlikely that civilians other than those involved in 
Event 1A! will become aware of the existence of SCP-2648. 
However, if any civilians do become aware, they are to be 
administered Class-B amnestics and released. Following the failed 


attempt at relocation of POI-2648 to Site-42 on 06/24/17, POI-2648 
is, as of 07/18/17, to be held indefinitely on their property by 
Foundation personnel. 


Description: SCP-2648 is an animate amalgamation of primarily 
organic matter which roams a 4.8-square kilometer area of privately 
owned land in the unincorporated community of , Outer 
Banks, North Carolina. The anomaly is slightly hostile, sometimes 
attacking containment personnel, but does not appear to possess 
the capacity for intelligent thought and does not appear to attack 
unless threatened. 


SCP-2648 functions by assimilating matter into its mass, sometimes 
rearranging itself to benefit mobility, and afterward growing in size. 
Thus far, SCP-2648 has been seen to assimilate bushes, small 
shrubs, grass turf (plastic mesh included), stray pieces of firewood, 
a squirrel and deer carcass, multiple pineapples, multiple species of 
psychedelic mushrooms, and fresh vegetables of unknown origin. It 
is theorized that SCP-2648's interior layers are likely composed of a 
flesh-like substance, due to the fact that it is mobile and occasionally 
excretes a red fluid appearing to be a mixture of blood, mucus, 
water, and plant matter; however, this fluid could potentially be 
present due to SCP-2648 regularly assimilating animal carcasses. 
SCP-2648 emits a slight foul odor and low humming noise, and 
travels at speeds of 8-40 kilometers per hour depending on terrain. 


After investigation, it was discovered that SCP-2648 is apparently 
under the supervision of the land owner, POI-2648, an individual 
who claims to have inherited their land from a family member in the 
late 1990s. POI-2648 is non-anomalous, but has been unable to 
provide legal name, date of birth, or Social Security Number 
information to both Foundation personnel and law enforcement. 
POI-2648 claims that they do not require a name for spiritual 
purposes, but that they are often referred to as CJ. POI-2648 is 
regularly under the influence of various psychotropic drugs, but is 
cooperative on most issues excluding the notions of removing 
themself from the property, removing SCP-2648 from the property, 
or halting their regular use of illegal substances2. 


Following a lead from an anonymous informant, Dare County police 
discovered on 06/20/17 that a 3.2 x 3.2-meter section of POI-2648's 


their unique biology. All soecimens, however, eventually 
become SCP-299 'trees' if given time to grow and 
change form. 


Item: Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) (x1) 
Researcher: Dr. 

Test Record 

[DATA EXPUNGED] 


Addendum 299-4 
O5 Command has requested that researchers refrain 
from experimentation with carnivorous plants. 


Item: Pig (Sus domestica) (x1) 

Researcher: Dr. 

Test Record 

Matter from SCP-299 injected into pig. Pig began 
squealing and moving uncontrollably, until it fell to the 
ground and convulsed. Upon expiration, fine rootlike 
hairs were observed to grow from the underside of the 
pig; the flesh of the pig underwent a transformation into 
SCP-299 material starting from point of injection. After 
two (2) hours, the pig was observed to have become 
another instance of SCP-299, complete with tendrils and 
leaves. Subject incinerated. 


Addendum 299-5: As of / /20 , the trees in Area-299 have begun 
deviating from the standard form of SCP-299, with several growing 
what appears to be white flowers up to two (2) meters from ground 
level. Following standard protocol, D-class personnel were sent in to 
determine if the new mutation was dangerous. Upon approaching 
the flowers, the petals unfurled into highly mobile tendrils which 
immediately ensnared the head of one of the D-Class before pulling 
him back to the tree. All personnel were immediately removed from 
the area and placed in a 48-hour quarantine. 


Subject was observed emerging from the treeline approximately five 
(5) hours after being ensnared, apparently unharmed. Subject was 
then put in a separate 48-hour quarantine in accordance to protocol. 


land was being used for the cultivation of the psychedelic mushroom 
Psilocybe cyanescens. After Dare County police informed the US 
DEAS of the operation, a Foundation-affiliated informant within the 
DEA reported the existence of SCP-2648 to Site-42 personnel, who 
then intervened with the case and discussed occurrences with Dare 
County police and the DEA. 


Given POI-2648's alleged emotional connection4 to SCP-2648, it 
was argued by Site-42 personnel that the arrest of POI-2648 could 
potentially lead to SCP-2648 becoming actively dangerous due to its 
growth rate and hostility toward containment personnel. Law 
enforcement then agreed to leave the case solely to Foundation 
oversight, provided the Foundation entirely halt all drug trading 
between POI-2648 and the general public. After this was done, 
further investigation of POI-2648's land revealed the following in 
addition to the aforementioned cultivation of Psilocybe cyanescens: 


* Several acres in the northwest corner of the property are used 
to successfully grow the Kona sugarloaf cultivar of pineapple; 
¢ aplot of soil is used to grow Psilocybe semilanceata, another 
species of psychedelic mushroom; 
an auxiliary building in which a makeshift laboratory was 
constructed is used for the purposes of synthesizing Lysergic 
acid diethylamide, as well as the attempted synthesizing of 
N,N-Dimethyltryptamine®; 
an auxiliary building was attemptedly used to extract 
Mescaline’ from Peyote cacti grown in a greenhouse; 
however, POI-2648 cites that the humid North Carolinian 
climate negatively affected cacti growth despite the artificial 
greenhouse climate, and that they were not able to 
successfully extract Mescaline. 


Following these developments, POI-2648 was apprehended by 
Foundation personnel and held on-site on their property while 
containment procedures and personnel operations were established. 
POI-2648 is most commonly in their bedroom in the farm house or in 
the upper eastern corner of the property, where SCP-2648 
frequently lingers as well. SCP-2648 is notably not hostile toward 
POI-2648, and POI-2648 did not previously appear to notice that 
SCP-2648 is animate; this was elaborated upon in the attached 


interview transcript. 


Addendum |: On 06/23/17, two days after initial discovery of 
SCP-2648 and four days after initial law enforcement intervention 
with growing and synthesizing operations, POI-2648 was 
interviewed by Site-42 field agent and biologist Rich Muirfield with 
the intention of clarifying their connection with SCP-2648, as well as 
their general situation. The transcript of this interview can be found 
below. 


Date: 06/23/17 13:32 
Interviewed: POI-2648 
Interviewer: Agent Rich Muirfield 


Begin Log: 


Muirfield: Good afternoon. I'd like to start, for the record, 
with a bit of your history here. Can you do that? 


POI-2648: Yeah, yeah, of course. 


Muirfield: Thank you. Alright, so how did you end up on 
this land? 


POI-2648: Oh, my, uh, cousin. 
Muirfield: Your cousin? 


POI-2648: My cousin, Ru. I'm CJ, he's Ru. 


Muirfield: Alright, and what did your cousin do? 


POI-2648: Oh, uh, he was a farmer | think? 


Muirfield: |'m talking about what he did in terms of you 
receiving ownership of this land. 


POI-2648: Ah, okay. Well, yeah, he was a farmer, and 
he's a few years older than | am, and when | was comin' 
up, | used to hang with him on the farm. 


Muirfield: What did he farm? 
POI-2648 laughs. 


POI-2648: Not shrooms. He did like the pineapples, 
though. 


Muirfield: Did he teach you how to grow the pineapples? 


POI-2648: Yeah. Those are really good pineapples, a 
really sweet type of 'em. And shrooms taste like shit, so 
they go well with pineapples. Masks that wet dog smell, 
you know. 


Muirfield: Alright, so your cousin — who is slightly older 
than you — taught you how to farm pineapples when you 
were a child, and then ended up transferring ownership 
of this property to you for the sake of farming. 


POI-2648: Right, yeah. 


Muirfield: Okay, and how old are you, again? 


POI-2648: Twenty-nine. Almost there. When | turn thirty 
I'm gonna go settle down somewhere- well, | mean, 
that's what | was gonna do, but now that it's gone- | 
mean, now that you guys are here, | don't know what I'm 
gonna do for my birthday- 


Muirfield: Hang on, now that what is gone? Did 
someone else live here? 


POI-2648 pauses for ten seconds. 
POI-2648: ...Yeah, my- friend. 
Muirfield: Can you elaborate? 


POI-2648: | mean, what's to elaborate on? This is a rural 
area, you know. People go missing. 


Muirfield: Missing? Do you think you could- contact the 
police? | mean, did you contact the police when your 
friend went missing? 


POI-2648 laughs. 


POI-2648: No. You know | can't. You stopped there for a 
second, ha. Couldn't've. Contacted ‘em. Also, this town 
here, it's unincorporated, that means there ain't a town 
police department. You may have four bars on your cell 
signal, but that don't mean there's many civilizations 
here. | mean, er, civilized people. A town, that is, there's 
not really a town. There's just me and this rock and those 
cliffs over there by the water, where- it and | used to 
hang out. 


Muirfield: Who are you referring to? Did they have a 
legal name? 


POI-2648: | don't know. What's a name to a soul? | didn't 
know 'em by its name, | knew 'em by the way it acted. 
Around me. Was a great friend to me, and went missing. 
People go missing out here all the time, you know - it's a 
rural area- 


Muirfield: How exactly did they go missing? Did you 
witness it? 


POI-2648: Went to the seafront and didn't come back. 
There are some cave systems | try to stay away from 
down there because | see too much in the dark, you 
know? | ain't one to go looking for trouble, really, I'm just 
up here minding my business, trying to get in touch with 
some stuff people ain't keen on looking for with just their 
basic minds. 


Muirfield: ...And selling what you grow and synthesize, 
correct? 


POI-2648: Well, how else do | make money? | have to 
have electricity and water. | didn't ask to be born ina 


world where society's made it so you can't live off the 
land. No one did. 


Muirfield: When your friend went missing by the beach - 
how long ago was this? 


POI-2648: Few weeks, | guess? I'm so glad they came 
back, so thankful. 


Muirfield: Wait, what? Your friend isn't missing 
anymore? 


POI-2648: They were missing, but it came back. Like, 
missing for a few weeks- came back a little different, but 
what's to complain- about? Like | said, what's a name to 
a soul. Same person inside, just a little rearranged. 


Muirfield pauses to write. 


Muirfield: Okay. If you don't mind, may we put that topic 
on the back burner, so to speak, and address the topic of 
the anomaly? 


POI-2648: The- the what? 


Muirfield: The anomalous- 


POI-2648: | know what 'anomaly' means, but- okay, 
yeah, this might fix this, here, you and | talking. Yeah, 
see, | still don't know why y'‘all're here and all that, 
because you ain't the DEA and you ain't the cops. Right? 
The shrooms aren't really that illegal, you know, you 
might as well just take the synthetics- 


Muirfield: We're not here for the drugs. 


POI-2648: Oh, right. Right, | thought so, right. So- uh- 
the anomaly? 


Muirfield: The anomaly. There's a... ball of grass, for 
lack of better phrasing, crawling around your property. 


We'd like to put it in a steel box to stop it from growing 
further, but it attacks personnel. What do you know about 
it? It's the only other animate thing in this area other than 
you. 


POI-2648: Oh, it? Oh, come on, that's my friend. | told 
you they looked a little different, but- same person inside. 


Muirfield: ...What? 


POI-2648: What? It's still- you know, they were there for 
me when no one else was, okay? When | was sick, they 
took care of me. When | was lonely, they were there for 
me. When | needed someone to drive to the store, they 
went for me. | don't have a license, you know, | mean | 
can drive, but the ATV's been broken down for a while. 


Muirfield: How do you get food? 


POI-2648: | grow it! This is a farm. 


Muirfield: Okay, but you have no edible food other than 
hallucinogenic mushrooms and pineapples, and you 
have no animals. If you have additional assets you're 
hiding from us, you would be advised to- 


POI-2648: No, no, man, | wouldn't do that to y'all. You 
and I, we're good. 


Muirfield: ...Okay, we may have to look into that at a 
later date. In the meantime, can you explain how you've 
been eating, then? Or getting supplies for living? If your 
friend went missing, you were — during that time — not 
able to get them to go to the store for you, correct? 


POI-2648: Right. Lots of pineapple... 
Muirfield pauses to write.
