SD-73: Agreed. | think your current condition is 
more than sufficient punishment for any 
infractions in that regard. So, then we 
discussed the fact that you are now a serious 
security risk for this site, and the Foundation in 
general. 


Dr Isaacs: You can't let me leave, nor can | 
work or interact with anyone without my 
current broad clearance. Basically you said 
you want to stick me in containment. 


SD-73: That's not what - 


Dr Isaacs: Sorry Alex, that was unfair. You 
didn't say that, but that doesn't change what it 
means from my perspective. You were offering 
me permanent residence at Site-73, in total 
isolation. We discussed in detail the likely 
psychological effects. 


SD-73: We did. And in recognition of that fact, 
| offered you the chance to spend time with 
your family. 


Dr Isaacs: On the condition that they live here 
permanently too! | mean, how did you think | 
could put my kids through living in this place, 
with the risks that we run every day, the - 


SD-73: - you know that this site has the 
Foundation's cleanest record in terms - 


Dr Isaacs: - and how could | look at them and 
tell them they have to leave their friends, their 
lives - 


SD-73: - a larger purpose to consider. Jan. 
Jan! | don't think we need to rehash this again. 


Dr Isaacs: |'m sorry, Alex, but that's easy for 
you to say. It's not your life. 


SD-73: It wasn't my choice that led to this. 
Look, we've worked together a long time. Are 
you sure about this? 


Dr Isaacs: |'m sure. Having discussed at 
length, | have requested that, in lieu of contai- 
in lieu of quarantine or termination, | am to be 
given an F-Class amnestic. 


SD-73: I'd like to record a formal caution on 
this request - Jan, you know that it won't be 
you any more. It's a total personality overwrite. 


Dr Isaacs: | know. But my new personality 
won't know any of the secrets I'm revealing 
now - | won't be a security risk. And I'll live. | 
mean, the whole point of this research in the 
first place was to avoid unnecessary harm. 


SD-73: We still won't be able to let you leave. 


Dr Isaacs: No, but | won't go mad thinking of 
the life that was taken away from me, and 
perhaps | can be of some use. Make mea 
clerk, or a janitor. Even a D Class. 


SD-73: Okay, then. | formally grant the 
request. Dr Isaacs will be given an F-Class 
amnestic and reassigned based on the 
replacement personality. For all external and 
internal purposes, this will be treated as death 


in the course of meritorious service to the 
Foundation, with full benefits to the family. This 
recording is to be treated as Clearance 4/ 
General-73. 


Dr Isaacs: Thank you, Site Director. Alex. 


SD-73: Jan, before we finish. What you've 
done for the site, over the years. | want to say 
- what you have been trying to do, | - | respect 
it. |- anyway. Ah, | guess I'll call the amnestics 
team. We can stop recording now.

Incident Report: SCP-2138-2 

Date: 05/29/20 

Location: Site-73, D-Class secure accommodation wing 
- hallway R-12 


6:34 PM: A minor riot was reported during the return of 
Class D personnel to quarters following the completion of 
daily testing. Security personnel have attested that the 
inciting factor was a violent assault by D-4435 on 
D-13962. D-13962 later died of his injuries. One other 
Class D (yet to be designated an identification number) 
suffered a fatal heart attack whilst intervening in the riot, 
and fifteen Class D personnel were injured.

SCP-2139: Indeterminate object or objects, or 
possibly a memetic effect of some kind 


Item #: SCP-2139 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Site-35 is currently inoperative, 
and is not to be accessed by Foundation personnel. A recovery plan 
is in development for the removal of individual Keter and Euclid- 
class anomalies from Site-35 without recovery teams being 
compromised by the effects of SCP-2139. All retrieved anomalies 
will be contained temporarily at Site-73. Once existing anomalies 
have been removed, a testing regime is to be established for the 
identification of SCP-2139 on an objective basis, with objects 
confirmed negative for SCP-2139 to be removed from the site 
individually and stored or disposed of at the discretion of the Site-73 
director. 


Former staff of Site-35 are to be held in quarantine at Site-73, 
pending confirmation that they are no longer affected by SCP-2139. 
Upon release from quarantine, staff are to be reassigned to 
alternative projects until Site-35 reopens. 


Description: SCP-2139 is the provisional designation for a 
potentially anomalous psychological phenomenon which occurred at 
Foundation Site-35, located 53km North of Alexandria, Louisiana. 
The effect is theorised to be generated by an anomalous object or 
objects. 


Based on the evidence available, SCP-2139 is believed to greatly 
increase the credulity and suggestibility of persons affected by the 
anomaly. Affected persons do not have insight into their condition. 
Initial testing of former Site-35 personnel indicates that the 
psychological effect is anomalous, and fades over a period of one 
month after exposure to SCP-2139 ceases. Further research will be 
required to confirm that SCP-2139 behaviours are not the result of 


While eating the third egg, subject started 
complaining of stomach pain. Subject was 
instructed to continue eating, and she 
begrudgingly continued. 


Upon ingesting her seventh egg, subject 
collapsed on the floor, doubled over in pain. 
Within 60 seconds, subject started showing 
signs of anaphylactic shock. Epinephrine was 
administered, and subject was stabilized. 
Subject recovered, within the expected 
recovery time for such an episode. 


Analysis: We now have evidence that 
SCP-241 somehow induces or amplifies an 
allergy in the Target when SCP-241 is opened. 
This ability would explain how SCP-241 is able 
to cause an allergic reaction in Targets without 
pre-existing food allergies. 


For information about subsequent and current experimentation, see 
the Supplemental Testing Log. 


Addendum 3: Notes from Crosstesting: 


To determine the effects of SCP-241's recipes on subjects that 
either cannot eat or do not require sustenance, approval was given 
to crosstest SCP-241 on SCP-1770. Upon subject opening the book, 
the contents were identical to before it was closed previously. This 
confirms results of Test 241-23 in which SCP-241 does not respond 
to inorganic subjects.

ordinary crowd psychology effects. 


Formal testing of SCP-2139 itself has not been possible, as the 
entirety of Site-35 appears to have been affected by the anomaly 
before the existence of SCP-2139 was confirmed. This has also 
prevented the identification of the object or objects purportedly 
giving rise to the anomalous effect. 


Addendum 2139/1 - Site-35 Daily Briefings 


Below are relevant extracts from Site-35's scheduled daily briefings 
to US central command. On 17 January 2016, Command noted that 
Site-35 had a higher rate of research proposals than usual, and 
queried the reason for this increase. 


18 January 2016 


We have discussed the growth of research proposals 
with the heads of department, and their reports indicate 
that researchers are generating more ideas than usual to 
explain the anomalies secured on site. At this stage our 
working hypothesis is that there is some form of 
interaction between the anomalies on-site that is causing 
a positive feedback loop and making their properties 
more readily ascertainable. 


19 January 2016 


You're correct, of course, that any anomalous interaction 
would have shown up before now - we have discarded 
that possibility. We are now wondering whether the effect 
is the result of a new anomaly, yet to be classified. 


Testing across the site with Kant-counters has shown no 
unexpected readings, which we interpret as evidence 
that this new anomaly must have a side-effect of 
disabling Foundation technology. That would also 
explain why none of the Scranton Reality Gauge Alarms 
were triggered. 


Noting that this could be a more serious situation than 


originally anticipated, we have cancelled all non- 
essential staff leave as a precaution. 


20 January 2016 


Alternatively, the anomalous effect could simply be to 
enhance creativity and generate more research 
proposals in that manner. A behavioural influence, rather 
than an effect on reality, would explain why the anomaly 
doesn't give rise to abnormal Hume readings. 


Dr. Carter has raised the point that, if the anomaly is 
focused so narrowly on assisting the development of 
original thought, it is unlikely to have arisen naturally. 
The question is: who would have the ability and incentive 
to construct such an anomaly, and for what purpose? 


21 January 2016 


On reflection, we agree with you that the anomaly 
appears to affect credulity, rather than creativity. Our 
previous theories have been discarded, and we have 
initiated a site-wide lockdown. We are looking into 
potential sources of the anomalous effects, based on 
when symptoms first became evident. 


22 January 2016 


Investigations have uncovered the following potential 
sources of the anomaly: 


« Uncommonly mild winter weather through January 
2016, potentially indicating a meteorological 
phenomenon 

¢ Extended D-Class testing of SCP-1011 during 
November 2015 

¢ Change of Site-35 supplier of cardboard boxes on 
1 December 2015 

¢ 15 August 2015 - further amendments to 
SUSEOCT (Southern United States Extranormal 
Organization Cooperation Treaty) on behalf of the 


Foundation and representatives of UIU and 
Marshall, Carter and Dark LLP 

¢ Third anniversary of the death of former Region 
352 Director John O'June in January 2016 

¢ Unscheduled visit on 4 January 2016 by Site 
Director Aktus, Site-81 


We will advise further as our hypotheses develop. 
23 January 2016 


Numerological combinatorics to assess congruence 
between January temperatures and significant dates in 
Director O'June's life has so far yielded few results. At 
Dr. Yu's suggestion, we will incorporate the section 
numbers of SUSEOCT amendments into our next 
iteration. 


Separately, cross-checking of Foundation containment 
files to which we have access has turned up several 
possibilities which we think Command should investigate 
further. SCP-2366 and SCP-2604 are both mind- 
affecting anomalies stemming from otherwise-ordinary 
wood and wood-derived products. Both are deliberately 
manufactured, and would fit with our working theory of 
an intentionally designed anomaly. They could also 
easily evade standard detection - when everyone is 
looking at the trees, the wood is the one thing on Earth 
no-one has their eyes on. There could be other similar 
anomalies out there, hidden in plain sight. 


We hereby request delivery of samples of SCP-2366 and 
SCP-2604 to Site-35 for comparative analysis with our 
supplies of cardboard boxes. 


24 January 2016 


The Site-35 management committee, having debated at 
length, are agreed that cardboard boxes are the most 
likely source of the anomaly. All site resources have now 
been devoted to this investigation - we look forward to 


your response to our requisition request. 


Senior Researcher Michaels has noted that the new 
supplier for the boxes was "Apollo Office Supplies Inc.". 
Could this company be related to the Order of the 
Hyacinth, responsible for the death of Director O'June? 
According to Greek myth, Hyacinth was a lover of the 
god Apollo, suggesting a connection. The infestation of 
Louisiana by water hyacinth is well-known, and several 
staff have since corroborated reports of increased growth 
of the plant in bodies of water near the site. Water 
hyacinth is also known as the Terror of Bengal. Please 
advise. 


25 January 2016 


Please respond to our previous requests. The general 
staff population are very concerned about the Order of 
the Hyacinth plot to destabilise Site-35, and silence from 
Command will encourage further talk of complicity in this 
scheme by Foundation personnel outside the site. 


We have discovered that the change of cardboard box 
supplier was confirmed by one "Declan Hall". No person 
of that name is on the current Site-35 staff list, and we 
have been unable to discover any such person on the 
Foundation database. Presuming that the HR records 
have not been redacted by co-conspirators in RAISA, 
this appears to have been a fake name, suggesting an 
inside job. 


As the Order of the Hyacinth is a Catholic sedevacantist 
sect, we have taken the precaution of confining all known 
Catholic staff in the D-Class barracks. 


26 January 2016 


We continue to generate theories as to the source of the 
anomaly. Our previous cardboard box theory has been 
supplanted by new analysis suggesting that the anomaly 
could be caused by a single object with a large area of 


effect, or by a liquid or gas that is able to move around 
the site undetected. 


We accept that the detention of certain staff members 
may have been disproportionate, and they have been 
released. Indeed, we now consider that the anomaly may 
have been deliberately made to look like the work of a 
Catholic sect in order to frame innocent staff, and that 
the real perpetrators of this conspiracy have been 
manipulating the situation throughout. 


Could you please share with us information about the 
movements of Director Aktus between June 2015 and 
today. Certain staff have raised concerns that his visit 
may not have been as unscheduled as it originally 
appeared. Further data is required in order to ascertain 
the full extent of his involvement. 


27 January 2016 


Negative, Command: we strongly advise against shutting 
down Site-35. Our investigations into the anomaly 
continue to generate new leads, in a number of different 
directions, which should be pursued to the fullest extent 
by the site community. We recognise that we are under 
the influence of the anomaly, but we do not understand 
why you have dismissed our contention that it was 
deliberately engineered as a threat to the Foundation. 
Surely the anomaly's effect puts us in the best position to 
develop theories as to its source? 


The removal of personnel or objects risks the loss of 
containment of the anomaly within site walls, before it is 
formally identified. Taking objects off-site, or worse, to 
other Foundation sites, risks cross-contamination of 
anomalous properties and could cause a cascade effect, 
with further sites compromised by the anomaly. This 
could be exactly what the anomaly's creators want. 


We are very concerned with Command's attitude to our 
advice and updates. We have noted your refusal (or 


inability?) to provide us with details of Director Aktus' 
movements, and thus the suppression of our quest for 
the truth. Please be advised that, as of this time, we will 
consider any Foundation approach to the site as 
evidence of collusion with the person or group behind 
this anomaly, and will respond with force. 


On 28 January 2016, MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") was 
deployed to establish control over Site-35. [REDACTED]. The site 
was eventually subdued with no further casualties and all personnel 
and affected MTF members removed to Site-73 for quarantine.
