grammar becomes progressively stronger, resulting in laconic 
withdrawal when denied. Stage one can last from daysto years. 
Near the end of the first stage, SCP-1390-2 subjects will claim to be 
growing wings along their back, thighs, or face. All autopsies 
performed on stage one individuals show no sign of wing 
development. 


In the second stage, all language and grammar that differ from 
SCP-1390 are treated as being “incorrect.” SCP-1390-2 subjects 
describe hearing or reading any other language as being “like 
shitting in church” or, in one case, “like the fires of God in [her] eyes 
and tongue.” Individuals will refuse to communicate through any 
other method than SCP-1390, although applied to the language they 
are most comfortable with, and are to be treated as mental hazards. 
SCP-1390-2 subjects in this stage are terminated, due to their 
tendency to infect others. Sufferers of stage two infection cite a lack 
of pleasure gleaned from hearing bad grammar. Stage two subjects 
are highly volatile, as stage two lasts only - days. All autopsies 
performed on stage two individuals show no sign of wing 
development. 


Progress into the third stage is marked by the subjects’ tendency 
toward referring to themselves with one of two grammatical genders 
only contained in SCP-1390. The sex of SCP-1390-2 individuals is 
in no way a determining factor for which gender is chosen. The third 
stage results in [DATA EXPUNGED]. (See Document-1390-B for an 
analysis of the physical and anomalous qualities of third stage 
SCP-1390-2 subjects.) 


It is currently unknown if SCP-1390 infection progresses beyond the 
third stage, due to the cognitohazard that second and third stage 
SCP-1390-2 subjects express.

Addendum 1390-1: The language of the 

civilization is a previously unrecorded dead language, 
though similarities in form and vocabulary have been 
noted in Hadza, Leco, Korean, and Esperanto. The 
language itself contains no anomalous properties, even 
when a collection of words is used to create a sentence 


with incorrect grammar. Words of other languages 
placed into the SCP-1390 structure retain anomalous 
properties. Like Latin and other languages, nouns are 
declined in gender and case. SCP-1390, however, 
contains two unknown genders, differing from the neuter, 
masculine, and feminine of most languages, but their 
role in the language is not well-understood. Instances of 
SCP-1390-2 refuse to explain their purpose, although 
researchers theorize that [REDACTED]. The cases, 
while conforming to the expected nominative, accusative, 
genitive, dative, locative, instrumental, and prepositional, 
contain unknown instances that researchers have 
dubbed the xenophobic, the dimensional, and the 
temporal. (See Document-1390-C for a full report on the 
minutiae of SCP-1390.) 


Addendum 1390-2: Foundation personnel assigned to 
study the culture of the civilization report that 
SCP-1390 did not grow and mature along the usual 
paths of human language. While forms of Ancient Greek 
were spoken by the civilization during its infancy, the 
language of SCP-1390 appeared fully-formed around 
BCE. Artifacts dated to that period tell of a ruler, referred 
to only as "The Wise (or Sagely) One" who came from 
the outlands to teach their people to be civilized. Of note 
is that the all records and artifacts of the civilization 
cease fifty years after this time, and there is evidence 
that the culture wiped itself out with what is 
described in SCP-1390-1 objects as “a destruction of 
[untranslated] and the simple” ordered by this ruler. 
Artistic portrayals of The Wise One show a humanoid 
figure with a variable number of wings growing from its 
back. Following his appearance, the rate of winged, 
humanoid figures increased drastically in SCP-1390-1 
objects. It is unclear what symbolic significance is held 
by these wings. Revised as of Incident-1390-1. (See 
Document-1390-B.) 


Incident-1390-1: Site Director Cavoli, after being found 
to be infected, was allowed to keep studying the 


grammatical structure by approval of O5- and was 
designated SCP-1390-2A. His last communication not 
written in the anomalous grammatical structure is as 
follows: “It is the language of the angels given to us as a 
kindness. | wish to share it with the world.” 
SCP-1390-2A's first stage lasted an accelerated period 
of days, and his second stage resulted in the infection 
of 12 personnel. At his third stage, [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
(See Document-1390-B.) The subject's rate of infection, 
resulting in the subsequent infection of 86 personnel, is 
theorized to be due to his substantial intelligence, 
curiosity, and status as a hyperpolyglot. His research 
represented a significant cognitohazard and further 
infected more Foundation researchers. SCP-1390-2A 
was neutralized by an MTF E-13 operative. It is theorized 
that an SCP-1390-2 subject left undiscovered at a 
university could result in a K-level scenario. 


Incident-1390-2: Foundation moles situated in 
L'Académie francaise reported a possible instance of 
SCP-1390-2 when one of /es immortels became 
increasingly agitated, angrily correcting others' grammar 
when he had previously been known to be quiet and 
reserved. Moles reported that the subject had been 
petitioning to change the French language into what he 
called “a pure form,” which was found to be close to the 
grammatical structure of SCP-1390. The subject was 
neutralized via facilitated suicide. All individuals close to 
the subject were given Class-B amnesiacs. The subject 
was found to have no contact with any area previously 
shown to produce instances of SCP-1390, nor did any of 
his papers express knowledge of the culture. 
Based on reviews of his diaries, the subject had 
SCP-1390 “come to [him] in a dream, like the calls of a 
kind God, fluttering and folding around [him] like the 
wings of a great protector.” He later expressed a wish to 
“show the beauty and truth of pure, unfettered thought” 
and claimed to be sprouting wings. Autopsies seized 
from French medical practitioners show no signs of such 
transformation. Status as a first stage SCP-1390-2 


subject confirmed. SCP-1390 seems to appear fully- 
formed in some SCP-1390-2 subjects without any 
outside interference. Changes made to theories present 
in Document-1390-A.

SCP-1391: Field of Stone 


Item #: SCP-1391 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1391 is to be surrounded 
by a 3-meter tall barbed wire fence. A guard force under the guise of 
local Algonquin Tribal Police is to maintain continual internal and 
external patrols in the vicinity of SCP-1391, and will report any 
damage for immediate repair and further observation for subsequent 
attempted breaches. Any civilians approaching the exclusion zone 
are to be notified they are trespassing on protected Algonquin 
Reservation lands and escorted from the area; civilians displaying 
resistance or refusal are to be detained, treated with Class-C 
amnestic, and relocated to the nearest population center. 


Description: SCP-1391 is a 12-hectare parcel of land in : 
Canada that borders Algonquin reserve lands under protected 
status. The land was previously owned by , a local art 
professor. On the property are (upon last inspection) 137 large, 
concrete abstract depictions of screaming heads. Engraved on each 
side of the heads near the bottom is a name and date, later 
determined to be the designated individual's date of death. 
Foundation investigation has uniformly determined that names 
sourced from the stones match those of individuals who have at 
some point visited the location. Of note is the observation that 
stones bearing the names of suicide victims are variously disfigured. 


It has been determined through corroboration of death records and 
incidental observation that the heads appear at or around the time of 
death of the individual named on a given statue. The stones have 
been noted to uniformly appear in locations not under current 
observation, such as around the perimeter fence, or observation 
posts. Due to an apparent tendency for stones belonging to 
individuals with similar causes of death to group together, efforts by 
Foundation personnel to observe formation of a stone focused on 


these areas. Despite more intense observation, these efforts were 
ultimately futile, with new heads in some cases manifesting between 
frames of CCTV footage, or in one notable case, in the blink of eye, 
as reported by a dismounted patrol element. 


Addendum-1391-A - Acquisition: Interviews with the previous 
owner show that purchased the property in the summer of 

, with the stated intention of using it as a retreat for his art 
students. Following his wife's death during renovation of the 
property, Mr. discovered a concrete head bearing her name 
approximately 400 meters from a centrally-located barn. Upon 
examination of more remote sections of the property, he discovered 
"hundreds" of the heads. Patrols of the site corroborate his 
testimony that in most instances the heads were partially or 
completely destroyed, with most showing signs of weathering and 
disrepair. Mr. made the decision to market excursions on the 
land as an evolving memorial to local personages. 


The object drew the Foundation's attention following a legal 
proceeding between Mr. and a visitor to the property; a 
disagreement broke out when the visitor discovered his daughter's 
name on a stone, despite her having visited the property only once, 
and never having spoken to the owner. During an interview with a 
local asset, Mr. admitted he only had built a handful of the 
heads himself, and offered to mark those from the ones that 
spontaneously manifested. The Foundation assumed ownership of 
the land through what was publicly labelled as transfer of property 
rights to the adjacent Algonquin tribe. To maintain deniability, Mr. 

was administered a Class-B amnestic, compensated, and 
returned to society. 


Addendum-1391-B: As of / / , no additional personnel are to be 
assigned to internal security operations involving SCP-1391.

SCP-1392: Functioning Scarificator 


SCP-1392 stored with its suction cups, later found to have no 


anomalous properties. Click image to enlarge. 


Item #: SCP-1392 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1392 is to be stored in 
Locker 139, in Safe Item Storage room 391. Employees may submit 
a request for treatments at the referral of a site physician. If approval 
is given, use of SCP-1392 is to be administered and strictly 
monitored by a medical professional. In the event of a negative 
feedback bleeding, a transfusion must be completed as soon as 
possible to prevent neurological damage. 


Description: SCP-1392 is an antique scarificator, dated to the late 
19th century. The object is constructed primarily of brass, with an 
ebony handle, cutting edges of surgical steel. The brass and ebony 
components are in excellent repair considering the instrument's age. 
Like mundane scarificators, it is operated by pressing the slotted 
side of the instrument to the skin, and unlocking the spring 
mechanisms. The small blades in the instrument are forced out 
through the slots, creating incisions in the skin prior to retracting. 


The anomalous properties of the instrument manifest upon its use. 
The object has been found to function in a manner consistent with 
the Hippocratic theory of medicine, and displays etiological and 
symptomatic curative properties when used on diseases that were 
treatable by sanguination under the theory. The number of 
treatments needed to cure an illness is apparently relative to the 
severity of the illness being treated. 


Addendum 1392-01: On 04/04/2013, during testing, the nurse 
administering the treatment to D-02842 was instructed to bleed the 
subject to unconsciousness. The hope was to find the upper limits of 
the object's effect. The subject became confused, dizzy, and 


eventually lost consciousness. The nurse immediately stopped the 
treatment and attempted to stop the bleed. Bandages and 
coagulants failed, leaving the nurse to suture the small cuts and call 
a site physician. When the physician arrived, a suobdermal 
haematoma had formed, and the wound needed to be reopened. 
The site physician checked D-02842's blood pressure, finding that is 
was being maintained at 70 over 40. It became clear that the effect 
of SCP-1392 was replacing as much blood as he was losing. The 
subject was left in this state for five hours before it was ruled that the 
negative feedback bleeding would continue indefinitely. D-02842 
was given a blood transfusion and the effect ceased. The lack of 
blood flow to the brain over the extended period caused irreversible 
brain damage, and the subject was terminated. Further testing on 
the negative feedback threshold found the effect to happen between 
a Class II and a Class III haemorrhage. It was found that the effect 
of SCP-1392 could not keep up with deep vein or arterial bleeding. 


Acquisition Log: The Foundation first received information about 
the object when Dr. submitted a paper on a patient of his. 

, 26 was HIV positive and seeing Dr. as his primary physician 
for the virus, and a recent bout of tuberculosis. At the behest of his 
girlfriend, — , he visited a local naturopath for a "more natural 
treatment." The naturopath, , was in possession of the 
scarificator, and treated Mr. successfully over a period of two 
weeks. When he visited his primary physician again, he was found 
not even to have a latent infection. The treatments did not, however, 
cure his HIV/AIDS. The Foundation closed down Ms. ' office 
under the pretence of renovation, seized her equipment and took 
her into custody. She was questioned about her techniques, 
education and the suppliers of her equipment. When she was found 
to have no anomalous properties, and no connection with any GOls, 
she was administered Class B amnestics and released. 


+ Interview 1392-03 


Interviewed: (referred to as Ms. M) 
Interviewer: Researcher Collins 


Note: During Ms. M's detention and 


questioning regarding her acquisition of 
SCP-1392, her knowledge of how it functions 
and probe for possible connections to external 
agencies, she appeared comfortable and 
displayed a marked tendency to stray from the 
line of questioning. Extraneous chatter has 
been marked and redacted in the following 
transcription. 


<Begin Log, 0701h, 15/03/2013> 


Researcher Collins: Good morning, Ms. : 
I'd- 


Ms. M: Good morning, Doctor Collins. 


Researcher Collins: Yes. I'd like to ask youa 
few questions to help clear up some of our 
records regarding the scarificator, and 
secondly to inform you that as soon as we're 
through with this... you will be released. 


Ms. M: Fucking finally. This seems like a lot of 
work for a stupid trinket. Don't you have like, | 
don't know, ghosts or sasquatches to catch? 


Collins: Everything is worth taking a look at, 
Ms. , and anything worth taking a look at 
is worth looking at thoroughly. Now where 
were we? 


Researcher Collins reviews the notes from the 
two previous interviews. 


Collins: Ah, here we go... where you received 
your training, and about your decision to 
become a naturopath. Would you elaborate on 
that? 


Ms. M recounts her studies and certification as 
a personal support worker, and her later 


career shift into naturopathy. Nothing is overtly 
relevant to SCP-1392, and nothing to this point 
indicates a perceptible connection to external 
agencies or other anomalous objects. All her 
answers to prompting, and explanations were 
consistent with previous interviews. 


Collins: Do you recall from whom you got the 
object? 


Ms. M: Yeah, actually. got it forme asa 
gift after I'd been open about a month.
