side. He's now threatening to report me for ethics 
violations. And he's gone further than that, too.

information on the protein's structure was deleted.

agreed to help me end this, if | don't tell George. Says

| shot George. 


| didn't mean to do it. Stanley brought a gun, and | 
approached Phil with it. | looked at him, and told him that 
he should be wishing he had helped me. He lunged at 
me, and it went off. It all went so fast... 


| didn't feel anything. | saw a shocked look on Phil's face, 
and thought I'd hit him. Then he ran behind me. 


George was writhing on the ground in a puddle of blood. 
Phil and | both keeled over him. | could hear Phil scream, 
and George was moaning. 


It felt like it'd been forever since George opened his 
eyes. He looked right at me, then asked in a slurred 
voice what was happening. We helped him up, and got 
him to his room. Phil told me to clean up the spill before 
someone found it. 


| don't know how George survived this. | hit him right in 
the back of the head, yet as | write this he's lucid and 
talking. 


| took a sample of the blood on the ground. Maybe it 
holds some answers. 


/ 
George doesn't remember anything about yesterday. 


| talked to Phil, and he agreed that we should test the 
blood. 


Somehow, George was exposed to the test protein. We 
think he has a few days left. 


Phil said we should tell the other researchers. For once, | 
agreed.

he leaves, we're turning ourselves in. 


Addendum: Interview Log 2333-3 


The following interview was conducted with SCP-2333-1 
immediately following its recovery. 


Interviewed: SCP-2333-1 
Interviewer: Researcher 
<Begin Log, Skip 2m-16s> 


: So the initial goal, as you stated, was pain 
reduction. How well did you achieve this during initial 
testing? 


SCP-2333-1: Well, our initial tests were just on cell 
cultures. We were just making sure that we could alter 
the nerve cells without destroying them. We honed in on 
the correct protein after a few trials, and things started 
off, I'd say pretty smoothly. 


: Was there anything unusual about your results? 


SCP-2333-1: Actually, yes. It turned out that the prions 
were actually making some of the cultures far more 
hardy. They were more resistant to heat and chemicals, 
and they could grow a lot faster. | personally was pretty 
surprised by that. 


: And it was at this point that the goal of Project 


Helios was altered? 


SCP-2333-1: Partially. We concluded that, since we 
were getting these regenerative effects, it would be 
helpful to see if we could also possibly reverse some 
neurodegenerative conditions. 


: Understandable. So the animal tests were 
conducted on animal models of Alzheimer's disease, 
correct? 


SCP-2333-1: Yes, we did use some Alzheimer animal 
models. We dosed the mice, and the disease was 
reversed in the test subjects, while the control group 
died. 


: So at this point was when human trials began? 


SCP-2333-1: Not at that point. We were actually towards 
the end of animal tests when we got more unexpected 
results. One of the lab assistants prepared a batch 
improperly, but again, no negative effects on the subjects 
were observed. In fact, they were healthier than most 
normal lab rats. We did some extended testing, and, 
well, they didn't age. 


: They... didn't age? 


SCP-2333-1: We took cell samples, and all of them were 
biologically immortal. Their cells repaired themselves 
rapidly, grew rapidly. Biologically, they were not aging. 


: So, I'm guessing it didn't have that same effect on 
humans then? 


SCP-2333-1: It had a completely different effect. The 
patients were awake for a week, then died. 


: And then that prion is what was put into general 
use? 


SCP-2333-1: Um, | think so, as far as | know. 


: |understand that the project was ended at that 
point. Ils that correct? 


SCP-2333-1: Yeah. 
: Was there anything else notable after that? 


SCP-2333-1: Well, a few days after the project ended, | 
was about to head back to my home state, when one of 
the other researchers approached me. 


: What did he want to talk about? 


SCP-2333-1: He didn't actually say very much. He 
handed me a stapled packet of papers, and told me that 
before | left, he wanted me to read it. 


: What was in the packet? 


SCP-2333-1: | only skimmed through it, but most of it 
was just the documentation of Project Helios. The last 
page had a handwritten note on it. 


: Do you remember what it said? 


SCP-2333-1: "The right to die is as essential as the right 
to live." 


: Do you still have the packet? 


SCP-2333-1: No. | burned it. | threw it in my fireplace 
when | got home. | kinda felt like | had more pressing 
things to do, like | didn't have much time left. Do you 
know how much longer it'll be? 


: How much longer until what? 
SCP-2333-1: Until | die. 
: | don't think | can answer that, I'm sorry. 


SCP-2333-1: That's okay. Thanks for talking to me, Doc.

SCP-2334: Every Possible Photograph 


Item #: SCP-2334 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2334 is contained on site 
at its location in Utah. Although potentially hazardous records 
remain in the facility, Level 3 researchers may enter to study 
catalogued records with proper authorization from their supervisors. 


Description: SCP-2334 is an anomalous underground salt mine 
and photograph storage facility near Salt Lake City, Utah, with a 
single known entrance located at coordinatesN°'. "W °'. 
Intelligence suggests that it may contain every possible photograph 
in the RGB color spectrum, printed at an approximate resolution of 
2000 by 3000 pixels. 


SCP-2334 came to the attention of the Foundation after photocopies 
of a photograph of the following document began to circulate among 
students at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, in September 
1996. Distribution was localized to a religious sect of students who 
wore colorful, static-patterned clothing. Containment personnel 
administered Class-A amnestics to students who received 
photocopies of sensitive materials. 


SCP-2626 


Artifact #: SCP-2626 
Artifact Class: Innoxious 


Spatial Control Paradigm: If not in trials, SCP-2626 
should inhabit a thick bin at Plot 19. Staff may ask to 
work with SCP-2626 for study trials by submitting a 
physical proposal to a Lvl. 3 boss, who must wait in 
physical form to watch all handling of said artifact. 


These copies appeared to be photographs of official Foundation 
documents, albeit with text altered to avoid use of the letter 'e'. Five 
different classified documents — reports regarding SCP-2626, -_ , - 

,- ,and- —were found to be circulating, all on official 
Foundation letterhead. Students possessing copies were 
interrogated, and the source was traced to a small abandoned 
house in , Utah, where similar photographs were found pinned 
to the walls. An entrance to the storage facility was discovered on 
the adjoining property. 


In Operation Oulipo, Foundation personnel questioned and 
interrogated subjects who inhabited the facility (see: Addendum- 
A), all of whom were affiliated with the religious sect known as the 
Monks of the Archive. On entering the storage facility, personnel 
investigated rooms. 


SCP-2334 is not believed to be endless, but rather significantly 
larger than the spatial constraints of the local geology would 
normally allow. It is believed that additional members of the religious 
sect may remain within the caverns, but attempts to locate them 
have been unsuccessful. 


Addendum-A: Operation Oulipo 


The individuals detained in Operation Oulipo identified themselves 
as members of a religious group and wore ceremonial garments with 
colorful static patterns. They did not exhibit resistance until 
Foundation personnel requested access to rooms beyond those in 
the nearest cluster to the entrance, at which point they reacted 
violently. were terminated on site, and the rest were detained. 


The detained individuals did not provide reliable intelligence. Below 
is a brief excerpt from one of the more productive interviews. 


Interviewed: 2334-D2 ("Brother Pixel") 
Interviewer: Dr. Calvino 


<Begin Log, 11-09-1996 04:31 p.m.> 


Calvino: If these caverns contain every possible 
photograph, why are there humans and depictions of 
Earth in so many of the photos we've seen? 


2334-D2: You've only seen the part that's closest to us 
— they printed it that way, as they carved this place from 
the salt. It's much larger than you think. 


Calvino: Who's they? 
2334-D2: They printed everything. 
Calvino: What do you mean? 


2334-D2: We follow they who have seen all, they who 
have known all, they who have seen the one true image. 


Calvino: And that's supposed to be — 


2334-D2: With every passing day, our pilgrims travel 
deeper toward its source. 


Calvino: Are there more of you down there? 
2334-D2 refused to answer any additional questions. 
Addendum-B: Image Samples 


The following images were chosen to provide an overview of the 
image characteristics discovered in each subsequent room. Most 
images were unrecognizable static, so these samples were also 
selected for clarity. 


+ Room 9 


+ Room 121 


+ Room 4 
+ Room 


+ Room 9 


Addendum-C: Document 2334-73 


The following document was found in the archive room designated 
73  , beside an elderly man's corpse that was found in an advanced 
state of decomposition. 


May 1 


Entered the sacred realm today. My body thirsted for 
knowledge, but they only granted me static and images 
without form. | sense this journey will be long, and | must 
return with supplies. 


May 3 


| saw something that almost looked like a dog today, but 
Brother Gradient insisted it was not a dog. 


May 10 


| know the brothers forbid my writings, but | feel | must 
record what happens in these sacred caverns. | believe | 
saw a man's face in the static today. 


May 15 


Brother Vector found an entire word today. The word 
was "calcify" — It looked as if it had been written on a 
typewriter, but | dare not assert that. 


May 28 


We are running low on supplies, but a trip back to the 
surface is not in order. We pledged to find the one true 
image and not to return until we had done so. Time 
seems to move different here. Though we have not 
shaved, none of the men have grown beards since we 
departed. 


July ? 


Today we saw green for the first time in weeks. Praise 


Them! 

2? 

The static burns my eyes. 
Addendum-D: Possible Dimensions 


No evidence has been discovered concerning another entrance or 
end point to the archive. 


Research theories regarding the size of the archive are based on 
statistical analysis of pixel values in images recovered from the site. 
In short, the distribution of pixels suggests a complete set of images, 
were one to travel far enough through the archive. 


The total number of images possible at 2000 by 3000 pixels (the 
approximate resolution of each print) is calculated to be 224"6000000, 
or nearly 1010*10*7.1 


Footnotes 
1. According to civilian scientific estimates, the number of atoms in 
the observable universe is approximately 1080.

SCP-2335: The Filmmaker 


Item #: SCP-2335 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2335 is to be stored ina 
medium-security locker in Media storage unit 19D. As a precaution 
to preserve the disk's functionality, SCP-2335 is not to be handled 
without gloves. SCP-2335 is not to be removed from its casing 
unless considered necessary for authorized testing. 


Description: SCP-2335 is a standard, unmarked, commercially- 
available Memorex 16X DVD-R disk kept within a SuperMedia-S 
brand DVD case. Basic physical analysis reveals that the disk is of 
no abnormal composition, and is likely susceptible to corruption in 
the same manner as one would expect from a relatively inexpensive 
media disk. 


SCP-2335 can be played by any DVD player, or device with DVD 
playing functionality, including computers, game consoles, and 
portable media players. When the disc is played, the viewer is taken 
to an unlabeled menu hub. The menu features two circular modules; 
selecting the first triggers footage playback, and selecting the 
second has no observable effect. 


When the viewer selects the "Play" option, compiled footage begins, 
depicting a family vacation at a lakeside cabin. All footage is 
accompanied by a watermark in the top right corner that depicts the 
date and time, the beginning of the reunion footage being dated at 
Aug 27, 1999. When viewed uninterrupted, the footage plays for 
roughly 40 minutes, and consists entirely of a continuous video of a 
Caucasian male, seemingly in his late forties, canoeing. The footage 
begins at 16:54:51 and, if left undisturbed, ends abruptly at 
17:35:19. 


When the "skip" function on the DVD player is used, however, the
