Description: SCP-1678 is a full-scale mirror-image reconstruction 
of the British city of London, located exactly one kilometer 
underneath the original city of London. Currently, only the Hyde Park 
district of SCP-1678 has been explored, but all buildings, at least 
within the explored district, correlate exactly to their surface 
counterparts in terms of location, as well as the exterior size and 
shape, although rarely in terms of architecture, building material, 
and interior layout. The city has been constructed to resemble the 
city as it was in the Victorian era, with constructions designed to 
resemble traditional gas lighting prevalent on the streets and with all 
modern buildings in the original city of London being represented in 


a Victorian style of architecture, most notably the skyscrapers of the 
Business district. Illumination is infrequent and unreliable, and it is 
unknown how SCP-1678 has acquired a steady oxygen and gas 


supply. 


SCP-1678 is believed to have been constructed instantaneously by 
unknown means, with the SCP-1678 Houses of Parliament serving 
as the ‘epicenter’ for the construction process. This is evidenced by 
the fact that, as distance from the Houses of Parliament increase 
there is an exponentially increasing frequency of flaws in the 
construction of SCP-1678, such as houses built entirely out of 
copper pipes or other unconventional materials, ‘gas lights’ being 
little more than a metal rod topped with a floating orb of light, 
buildings containing no floors, and, at the furthest explored distance 
from the epicenter, no windows or doors. Aside from Foundation 
occupants and cases of SCP-1678-A, B and C, SCP-1678 is 
believed to be uninhabited. 


SCP-1678 is believed to have been constructed with the intent to 
harbor the survivors of an XK-class end-of-the-world event. This is 
evidenced by an audio recording that will activate and play upon any 
person entering the city. 


+ SCP-1678 Audio Transcript (Entrance) 


[My fellow citizen. If you are hearing this tape, then the 
world as we knew it has finished. The sky has broken, 
the ground heaves with the tramp of terrible feet, and all 
the horror and madness from the dark corners of the 
world has broken free to exact its vengeance on the 
world of Man. Those who sought to contain them are 
killed or scattered, and we soon learnt that to attempt to 
fight these creatures is almost invariably to face one’s 
death. Countless billions have been slaughtered in their 
attempt to sate their endless appetite for death, and 
there is nothing-was nothing- we could do to stop them. 
Evil has raised its bloody flag upon all nations of the 
world and crowed its unholy victory to the broken sky. 
Yes, this is the end. 


But there is a new hope. 


Welcome to UnLondon, a city of the survivors, a city of 
the free. Together, fellow citizen, we will wait and 
prepare for the new beginning, the grand new world that 
is soon to come. Let the world above burn. We will 
endure. Let the monsters have their world. We will 
prepare. And let the ground tremble with a new 
Armageddon, as evil consumes itself, for | tell you, 
citizen, upon the day of the ruination of Man, their 
insatiable appetites will turn them against one another in 
their endless lust for death. We will wait. 


And | tell you, citizen, that there will be a new morning. 
And you will emerge from UnLondon, and stand blinking 
in the sun, as our children play and laugh in the bones of 
horrors long dead. And you will walk, hand in hand, to 
the sea, our faces skywards, as the rising sun ushers in 
the new age of Man. And you will gather, citizen, at my 
feet as |summon UnLonaon from its rest, and it shall 
burst, phoenix-like, from the ashes of the old. And on 
that day, citizen, there shall be a new order, as we raise 
the Union Flag over the entire world. 


| welcome you to UnLondon, the Last City. 
And the first.]

The following message is relayed on the end of every 
hour: 
‘The time is [TIME] o'clock. All is well.’ 


On approaching any bank or police station: 

‘Citizen, you are entering a restricted area. Have your 
authorization papers ready. A Bobby will arrive to escort 
you shortly’ (WARNING: a single case of SCP-1678-A 
will be summoned) 


On being sighted by a case of SCP-1678-A. 
‘Halt! Police!’ 
‘Drop your weapons!’ 


‘Come now, let’s be having you!’ 
‘Police! Don’t run!’ 


Randomly, once per hour. The messages below are 
selected samples of the 1078 observed audio 
recordings. 


‘No one is safe from the influence of memetic beings. 
Have yourself assessed today.’ 

‘You could be possessed by a memetic horror and not 
even know it! Psyche assessments are free and easy- 
visit a clinic today.’ 

‘Do you find light uncomfortable? Identifying a Cortex 
Worm's infection early makes them possible to remove. 
Speak to your doctor today.’ 

‘Have you noticed anyone acting oddly? Tell a Bobby 
immediately.’ 

‘Crime will not be tolerated in UnLondon. | warn you: the 
tormentors of society will become its defenders.’ 

‘Evil can walk in human form and human flesh. Stay 
vigilant. ’ 

‘Are you frequently anxious or depressed? It could be a 
symptom of the Pattern Screamer’s influence- notify a 
Bobby immediately’ 

‘Ensure you are well rehearsed in all breach protocols. 
There is no excuse for panic or confusion during drills.’ 
‘Can't make ends meet? Do not be ashamed. Bryson’s 
Home for the Poor is here to help.’ 

‘| rule in the interests of the many, not the few. There are 
no special privileges.’ 

‘Swelling and abnormal growths are an early sign of the 
Slaver Man’s possession. Report any abnormal sickness 
to your doctor immediately.’ 

‘Each and every one of you is responsible for the safety 
of UnLondon and its citizens. Be watchful.’ 


Most explored buildings within SCP-1678 appear to have been 
outfitted for the purpose of extremely dense inhabitation with closely 
grouped steel bunk beds, a common feature in any building suitable 
for the purpose. Foundation researchers have advised that most 


explored buildings within SCP-1678 are unfit for human habitation, 
due to a high preponderance of mould, damp, and poor construction 
within these buildings. Some buildings are outfitted for other 
purposes, most notably the SCP-1678 version of the Natural History 
Museum, which is featuring an exhibit titled ‘The Fall of Man’ and 
contains representations of several known SCP entities, and images 
and artwork depicting apocalyptic settings. 


The key threat posed by SCP-1678 is by entities referred to in some 
SCP-1678 audio recordings as ‘Bobbies’ (‘Bobby’ is known to be a 
Victorian-era British slang term for ‘Policeman’), henceforth referred 
to as SCP-1678-A. These entities are constructed out of human 
corpses crudely dismembered at the head, wrists, knees and elbows 
and re-assembled using simple industrial hinges and screws. The 
head is always wrapped in bandages. They are dressed in a uniform 
similar to Victorian-era police and are extremely hostile towards 
Foundation personnel, attacking them on sight with improvised 
weapons. These attacks are always preceded by SCP-1678-A 
emitting a noise similar to that of a policeman’s whistle, and all 
loudspeakers within one hundred meters emitting the audio 
recording “Police! Halt, criminal!”. Instances of SCP-1678-A are 
extremely resistant to damage, with only high-caliber rounds and 
explosive weapons proving sufficient to destroy them. They are 
believed to originate from a building named ‘Bryson’s Home for the 
Poor’, as evidenced by an inmate-style jumpsuit worn under the 
uniform. 


To what extent they interact with other SCP-1678 entities is 
unknown. 


+ SCP-1678-B Overview 


SCP-1678-B 

Role: Surveillance. 

A.K.A: Eyes in the Sky. 

Cases of SCP-1678-B are bio-mechanical constructs 
which resemble that of a small avian life form. They are 
composed of a central mass of a red organic matter 
stitched together by a copper exoskeleton that 
resembles a spine and wing bones. The head has been 
demonstrated to be a small video camera and remnants 


of feathers and plastic on their exterior suggests they 
were once intended to resemble a pigeon. Cases of 
SCP-1678-B are known to possess no offensive or 
destructive capabilities, yet their ability to track Task 
Force movements should not be underestimated, as it is 
currently unknown if they are capable of communicating 
with, or summoning cases of, SCP-1678-A. Cases of 
SCP-1678-B are relatively simple to contain or destroy, 
yet their large numbers make their observation of 
Foundation activities extremely difficult to stop. 


Occasional posters throughout the Foundation-explored 
area allude to their existence. These posters display an 
image of a small pigeon observing criminal activity 
beneath the title ‘UnLondon’s Eyes in the Sky!’ alongside 
a small message to the effect that anyone destroying or 
vandalizing an ‘Eye in the Sky’ faces up to six weeks in 
the unit. 


+ SCP-1678-C Overview 


SCP-1678-C 

Role: Unknown 

A.K.A: Wretch 

Cases of SCP-1678-C resemble a humanoid figure 
dressed in rags. They appear to be of old age and are 
usually, although not always, female. They have always 
been encountered outside the Foundation-held area. 


There have been very few direct encounters with the 
SCP-1678-C entities, and it is currently unknown how 
many cases exist or to what level of threat they pose to 
Foundation security or safety. Encounters typically 
feature cases of SCP-1678-C sitting on a street corner 
with a begging dish, whereupon they will attempt to 
attract the pity or mercy of any Foundation personnel 
within their proximity with pleading or begging for food or 
money. Supplying a case of SCP-1678-C with food will 
cause them to begin weeping before dematerializing with 
a burst of dense black smoke. Foundation personnel are 
currently under instruction to not interact with them. 


They are briefly alluded to in an SCP-1678 audio 
recording: ‘Do not pity the Wretch. Allow them to pay the 
price of their betrayal for all eternity. Remember, citizen: 
on the day UnLondon rises | shall reward the loyal, but 
traitors shall be forever damned.’ 


+ SCP-1678-D Overview 


SCP-1678-D 

Role: Food Supply. 

A.K.A: ‘Dr. Goody’s Wonderfood!’ 

SCP-1678-D is believed to be the primary food source 
on offer in the event that SCP-1678 receives full-scale 
occupation. SCP-1678-D is freely and easily available 
from steel vending machines installed in virtually every 
building or structure outfitted for the purpose of 
habitation. The vending machines are upright steel 
pumps similar in size and shape to that of a modern 
petrol pump, containing a slot for the receiving of coins 
and a flexible rubber hose ending in a trigger-operated 
nozzle that will deploy half a liter of SCP-1678-D upon 
the appropriate payment. All vending machines display 
the legend ‘Dr. Goody’s WONDERFOOD! alongside an 
image of a smiling child enjoying a bowl of SCP-1678-D 
and text bubbles advising that SCP-1678-D costs ‘Just a 
farthing a bowl’, that it ‘Contains all the nutrients you 
need!’ and ‘Completely restores health and vitality!’ It has 
proven to be extremely attractive to cases of SCP-1678- 
B, C, and an unknown species of colored mollusc which 
has been observed feeding on any spillages. 


SCP-1678-D is a synthetic starch gel heavily enriched 
with various minerals, vitamins, fats and bulking agents. 
In addition to this it contains several unknown molecular 
structures and various engineered DNA helixes carried 
within synthetic cellular structures. It has the same 
consistency and taste as porridge. As advertised, it 
contains all the nutrients necessary for short-term 
survival. However, Foundation researchers have advised 
that over a period of more than six weeks users of 


SCP-1678-D will become dangerously underweight due 
to low levels of fat and protein within SCP-1678-D and 
are at strong likelihood of contracting illnesses such as 
scurvy if survival is attempted by consuming SCP-1678- 
D alone. 


SCP-1678-D appears to be purposely engineered to 
manipulate the psyche of regular consumers. Through a 
mixture of unknown molecular compounds, regular 
consumers are more obedient to authority, are less likely 
to commit acts of violence, are less likely to engage in 
sexual intercourse, have a reduced capacity for fear or 
panic, and have consistently high morale. In addition, it 
also has engineered side effects such as depressive 
symptoms and headaches if a subject suddenly 
abandons consuming SCP-1678-D. Due to the difficulty 
of creating food within SCP-1678, SCP-1678-D would 
serve as the primary food source in the event of large- 
scale habitation. 


Foundation personnel are forbidden to consume 
SCP-1678-D, even in small amounts. Not all vending 
machines produce SCP-1678-D to the same quality with 
some machines deploying corrupted forms that have 
induced severe mental or physical abnormalities or death 
within the consumer. 


It is currently unclear what entity, being or intelligence is responsible 
for the creation and maintenance of SCP-1678. It is unclear as to 
what event or disaster SCP-1678 is being prepared for.

SCP-1679: Post-Mortem Peoples’ Choice 


Item #: SCP-1679 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Seeing as SCP-1679 is 
relatively self-contained, and problematic to contain in the traditional 
sense, the following procedures have been enacted to contain the 
anomaly. 


The Internet connections of those people residing within SCP-1679 
are to be monitored and all direct photographs of SCP-1679-1 are to 
be corrupted, doctored, or destroyed if found on the computers of 
the inhabitants. Due to the casual nature of the area's citizenry 
regarding SCP-1679-1, and how relatively few inhabitants of 
SCP-1679 actually possess Internet connections, this is expected to 
be relatively easy to manage. 


A group of Agents have been implanted within SCP-1679, posing as 
lodgers renting a suburban home. At least one Agent is to keep 
employment with the local police force. 


Public broadcasts featuring SCP-1679-1 are to be recorded by this 
group and transported physically on encrypted thumb drives to the 
nearest Site the day following recording. Due to the fact that these 
broadcasts appear to be local, and expansion of their range has not 
been implied by any inhabitants of SCP-1679, further action appears 
to be unnecessary at this time. 


If by chance an Agent begins to perceive SCP-1679-1 as a living 
being, said Agent is to be removed from field duty and must undergo 
a psychological evaluation, during which Foundation psychologists 
and researchers will attempt to discover how and/or why 
SCP-1679-1's anomaly persists. However, due to the fact that such 
changes in perception have yet to be documented, it appears to be 
unlikely that this particular procedure will be necessary in the near 


future. 


Description: SCP-1679 is the town of Belleview in [LOCATION 
REDACTED], a small town with a population of 2514 as of the 2008 
census. SCP-1679-1 is the mummified corpse of a Mr Basil Franklin 
McMaster, who has been the elected mayoral officer of SCP-1679 
for the past 5 6 consecutive terms. 


SCP-1679-1 is situated in a wheelchair, and is approximately 95-110 
years old. It is believed to have died around age 79; it is unusually 
well preserved considering its age and circumstance, and much of 
its skin and other features are still intact. It wears a weathered grey 
suit with a red tie, and leans to the right of the wheelchair. 
SCP-1679-1 has never been witnessed moving, respiring, or making 
vocalizations in public or in private.
