Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2514 is to be kept in 
Area-12, in a containment stable modified with outdoor sound 
barriers and fireproofing measures. Maintenance of the stable and 
subject itself is to carried out by automated systems whenever 
possible, as to minimize human contact. Any unautomated care is to 
be fulfilled by a rotating staff of D-Class trained in equestrian care. 
Any personnel attending to SCP-2514 must be equipped with fire- 
retardant clothing and hearing protection of 40 NRR. SCP-2514's 
diet must consist entirely of pure sugar. Research into alternative 
means of sustenance is pending approval from the site director. 


Any D-Class personnel caught consuming SCP-2514's feces are to 
be reprimanded. 


Description: SCP-2514 is a member of Equus ferus caballus with a 
weight of 178 kg and a height of 116 cm at the withers. The 
subject's anomalous effects manifest at periodic intervals, 
henceforth referred to activation-events. These activation-events 
happen every 2 to 7 hours, for 3 to 15 minutes. During this period, 
SCP-2514 begins expelling lit pyrotechnic stars while emitting an 
altered version of the song "Happy Birthday to You" at a high 
volume (90 to 110 dB). This version of the song is addressed to one 
"Jeremy Huertes"!. Approximately 10% of the time, SCP-2514 will 
fail to enter this state properly. When this happens, its pyrotechnics 
will fail to ignite and its music will be replaced with a high pitched 
static noise. 


SCP-2514's rendition of "Happy Birthday to You" has 
cognitohazardous effects. Subjects who listen to the song in its 
entirety will experience intrusive thoughts of joyful memories, as well 
as a strong compulsion to smile. Despite this, subjects report 


extreme discomfort. These effects are absent in the static produced 
in failed activation-events. 


Exposure to SCP-2514 during activation-events leads to the 
development of various medical complications, including obesity, 
hyperglycemia, ADHD, hirsutism, abnormal tissue growths, and 
[REDACTED]. These effects begin to manifest after 4 activation 
effects. The disease vector is currently unknown, but SCP-2514's 
song has been ruled out. Long term trials are currently being held to 
see if repeated yet infrequent exposure induces these effects. 


Testing has shown that SCP-2514 can only derive sustenance from 
pure sugar. Despite this, it still has all the nutritional requirements of 
non-anomalous horse of its size. As a result, SCP-2514 has 
developed various illnesses, including laminitis, colic, and equine 
metabolic syndrome. Testing has show that, through anomalous 
means, the sugar consumed by SCP-2514 is converted into 
chocolate frosting and cake, in lieu of typical waste products. 


SCP-2514 was recovered from Portland, Maine, USA, after reported 
sightings of "mutant deer" and "strange pyrotechnics" in the city's 
outskirts. 


Addendum: Below is the version of "Happy birthday to You" that 
plays during activation events. 


Happy notdeathday for you. 
Happy notdeathday for you. 
Happy notdeathday caribou Jeremy Huertes. 
Happy notdeathday for you. 


Addendum: On 2016/06/29, SCP-2514 began playing the 
traditional version of "Happy Birthday to You" instead of its original 
composition, coinciding with the song's entry into the public domain 
the day prior. 


Addendum: During a containment breach on 20 / / , Agents John 
and Jane 

were killed in the line of duty. After the breach, their reanimated 
corpses were found wandering SCP-2514's stable. These entities 
have been tentatively given the designation of SCP-2514-1. The 


SCP-2514-1 were not responsive to any stimuli, and deteriorated 
within 24 hours. They constantly repeated the phrases "We love you 
Jeremy", "We'll get through this together", and "You've been such a 
good boy, you deserve a trip to down to the Dr. Wondertainment 


Never-Ending Toystore'™ for some Dr. Wondertainment Endless- 
Fun! "2 


Research into recreating SCP-2514-1 is currently ongoing. 


Addendum: On 20 / / , the following message was found on the 
desk of Project-Manager-2514, Emma Lister. 


To our esteemed collectors, the Fun-dation: 


On behalf of her Majoysty Dr. 

Wondertainment , who is too be busy crying her Doctor 
Wondertainment Super-Sight Eyes™ out to make this 
letter all the more personal with trademark

SCP-2515: Napoleon Crossing the Urals 


Item #: SCP-2515 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2515-A is to be secured in 
a glass case inside a sterile storage chamber at Site-77. To prevent 
the object's degradation, the storage chamber's temperature must 
be maintained at 20°C, and its relative humidity at 45%. SCP-2515- 
A is to be stored in complete darkness while not in use, and is to be 
examined daily by a curator from the Department of Antiquities for 
instances of Anthrenus verbasci'. 


Any digital photography of SCP-2515-A is to be considered a Class 
C Information Breach, subject to disciplinary action. Film 
photography of SCP-2515-A is permissible for research regarding 
SCP-2515-B with explicit permission from the Site Director. All 
instances of SCP-2515-B and the film used to develop them are to 
be immediately destroyed following experimentation. 


Description: SCP-2515-A is a 1.3 m x 2.0 m oil painting in the style 
of Jacques-Louis David, which was acquired in a raid on the Paris 
residence of anomalous art dealer . SCP-2515-B is the 
designation given to all photographs of SCP-2515-A and all 
photographs of other instances of SCP-2515-B. SCP-2515-A is an 
equestrian portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte, depicted holding an 
electric lantern2, inscribed with the words "LVMEN FIDEI" as his 
army marches through a mountain pass in the dark. To the right, a 
group of four soldiers is depicted holding up a bronze statue of an 
armored female figure, carrying a square and compasses, ona 
pedestal inscribed with the words "DEA EVROPA4." In the distant 
background of the painting, a star fort is visible at the foot of the 
mountain pass being crossed. The fort is surrounded by corpses, 
and the perspective is such that a pool of a fluid (typically identified 
by viewers as blood) can be seen within the fort. 


chamber is completely dark. Observers note a voice exclaiming, “he 
moves”, before sounds of juggling cease, and a clattering noise is 
heard. Class 2 Lockdown is ordered. 


Note: Further analysis through infrared camera reveals that at hour 
33:14, the subject's knees buckle, and after muttering loudly before 
footage is interrupted by several bright flashes, apparently only 
visible to infrared sensors. During this time, subject disappears 
entirely, and SCP-282 falls to the ground. 


Hour 34 
Sounds of juggling resume from inside the chamber. 


Note: Infrared cameras show that a figure not corresponding to M 
Munoz appeared in the testing chamber, recovered SCP-282 from 
the floor, and continued juggling while laughing quietly. 


Hour 35 

Several more infrared flashes occur, some of which now translate 
into flashes in the visible spectrum. Containment chamber is very 
dark. At 35:28 hours, side of containment chamber is ruptured by a 
sudden heat measuring over degrees Celsius. 


Camera footage shows the unknown force proceeding to destroy 
obstacles in its path via obliteration moving up an emergency 
stairwell (damaging stairwell, but without compromising it 
structurally). At ground level it proceeds to carve a route through the 
facility until the perimeter of Site- is reached, at which point it is no 
longer seen. All of the above take place within 4.7 seconds. Nearby 
personnel report seeing only a bright hot light. 


Note: Camera footage shows that upon compromising the perimeter 
of the facility, the force paused for several milliseconds, then 
disappeared, as opposed to exiting the facility. Infrared footage from 
the testing chamber shows that it is completely empty at this time. 


Within several seconds, light in testing chamber returns to normal. 
Subject has returned to testing chamber, collapsed on the floor, with 
SCP-282 nearby as if dropped. In addition, a fine layer of ash covers 
the testing room floor. Paramedic teams rush in. 


The anomalous effects of SCP-2515 manifest for the duration that 
an individual views SCP-2515-A, or an instance of SCP-2515-B. 
While viewing either, individuals may claim to have knowledge about 
SCP-2515-A, despite SCP-2515-A not being found in any historical 
or cultural records accessible by the Foundation. Once affected 
individuals stop viewing SCP-2515-A, or an instance of SCP-2515- 
B, the anomalous effects cease. The depth of the individuals' 
knowledge is consistent with the level of their educational attainment 
regarding art history, which can range from having no knowledge to 
being able to give a detailed interpretation of the elements of 
SCP-2515-A°. As of yet, no information given by affected individuals 
about SCP-2515-A has been contradictory. 


+ Interview Report 2515-04 


Interviewed: D-77-9275, art historian and 
political dissident from 

Interviewer: Dr. Cheng, Level 2 Researcher. 
Foreword: Interview conducted over intercom 
system. Dr. Cheng has not previously viewed 
SCP-2515-A, or an instance of SCP-2515-B. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Cheng: D-77-9275, what do you see on 
the wall in front of you? 


D-77-9275: (No verbal response.) 


Dr. Cheng: D-77-9275, | repeat, what do you 
see on the wall in front of you? 


D-77-9275: (Speaking slowly.) lf |am to 
believe my own eyes, the original Napoleon 
Crossing the Urals. 


Dr. Cheng: That is correct. D-77-9275, who 
was the artist behind the painting? 


D-77-9275: Napoleon Crossing the Urals is the 
last great work of Jacques-Louis David, 


completed during his final years as Napoleon's 
court painter in the year 18226. 


Dr. Cheng: D-77-9275, could you elaborate on 
the historical background of the painting? 
What does it depict? 


D-77-9275: It's a scene from the Siberian 
Campaign - the crossing of the Pass of 
Napoleon, which, as you might expect, was 
named after this particular incident. 


Dr. Cheng: D-77-9275, tell me more about this 
Siberian Campaign. 


D-77-9275: Well, I'm sure you know the bas- 


Dr. Cheng: (Cutting D-77-9275 off.) No, | 
don't. 


D-77-9275: [REDACTED] 


Dr. Cheng: Going back to the painting, what 
can you tell me about the lantern that 
Napoleon is holding? 


D-77-9275: The inscription on the lantern 
reads "lumen fidei,” which is Latin for "light of 
faith." Notice how the lantern is the only light 
source in the entire painting? David was telling 
us, the viewers, that only faith in can 
illuminate and enlighten the world. Look at the 

in the distance - their barbaric fortress is 
shrouded in darkness. Even the light of 
cannot enlighten them; no, David shows us 
that they must be enlightened by force. 


Dr. Cheng: Is the statue of Europa a depiction 
of ? 


D-77-9275: Not exactly, no. The statue of 
Europa bears a double meaning in Napoleon 


Crossing the Urals. To the masses, Europa 
represents the God of Europe - the Christian 
God of Europe, of course. Not so to the Neo- 
Gnostic elites like Napoleon and David. To 
them, Europa was the embodiment of logic, 
reason, and the divine enlightenment of the 
European continent. The statue of Europa is 
an allegory for , certainty, but it is nota 
depiction of . In fact, David and the Neo- 
Gnostics would never have even spoken of 
, whom they never knew of by name. 


Dr. Cheng: If that's the case, how did they 
know of ? 


D-77-9275: The impact of the Scientific 
Revolution extended far beyond the scientific 
domain. With the widespread dissemination of 
Newton's Principia, the concept of a clockwork 
universe became increasingly popular among 
the European literati. What began as a form of 
natural philosophy gradually transformed itself 
into a matter of religious doctrine, as debate 
raged over the first cause of the clockwork 
universe. The winners of the debate were 
advocates of what we know of as as the 
first cause of the clockwork universe, and 
unwittingly resurrected His worship. They laid 
the foundation for the Neo-Gnostic movement 
of Napoleon and David's time, and with it, the 
conflict against what the Neo-Gnostics saw as 
the Demiurge across the Urals. 


Dr. Cheng: | have one last question for you 
today. You mentioned the fortress in the 
background briefly, but could you elaborate 
more about it? 


D-77-9275: Certainly. The Empire adopted 
star forts from the Europeans, but they 
modified them to their own ends. Look at the 


corpses, piled up around the fortress, and the 
pool of blood in the center. After battles and 
raids, they would take prisoners to their 
fortresses, where they would perform their 
ancient Rite of Exsanguination. Drop by drop, 
they bled out their victims into their banks of 
coagulated blood, preserved to fuel their future 
rituals. Corpses, too, were valuable resources. 
Piled up around fortresses, corpses 
disheartened and diseased any approaching 
army. Furthermore, once their enemies were 
close at hand, they could perform their Rite of 
Consumption. What this particular rite entailed 
is still a matter of speculation, but we do have 
from Marshal Ney's journal of the Siberian 
Campaign a description of its aftermath. "A 
hundred drops - a thousand rose. A thousand 
rose - ten thousand fell." Needless to say, 
assaulting fortresses was hardly a trivial 
maneuver, even for Napoleon's Continental 
Army. 


Dr. Cheng: (After a pause.) That's enough for 
today. You will be escorted back to your 
chamber. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: After the interview was 
concluded, Dr. Cheng submitted a request to 
reserve D-77-9275 for future testing of 
SCP-2515. The request was approved by the 
active Site Director.
