Dr. Bozkurt: | was hoping you would. A mental picture of 
you, as you see yourself. Please go into the paint 
function and create this image. 


SCP-2306-1: ... okay. 


SCP-2306-1 proceeds to open up the computer's paint 
program. After approximately 15 minutes, it has 


produced a rough outline of a face, but then freezes and 
appears to crash. Dr. Bozkurt's attempts at regaining 
operation of SCP-2306-1 fail. 


<End Log> 


Follow up attempts to have SCP-2306-1 generate an avatar for itself 
have resulted in similar crashes. Over the course of several more 
tests, enough fragments of SCP-2306-1’s avatar have been 
collected to produce a composite image of what is likely a young 
male of Asian descent. Attempts to find a human match for this 
identity, either living or dead, are currently ongoing. 


Addendum 2306-B: IJ1990_2012 Folder 


On 08/08/2015 a folder named “IJ1990_ 2012” was found on the 
computer used to run multiple tests of SCP-2306. The folder 
contained numerous files of various formats including images, audio, 
and video. When questioned about the folder, SCP-2306-1 denied 
any knowledge of the contents, or how such a folder came to exist 
on its host computer. A selection of the files found in the folder is 
included below:

Addendum 2306-C: Recovery 


SCP-2306 was recovered by Foundation personnel on July 17th, 
2015 following a raid on the offices of Gol-1115 (Anderson 
Robotics) by MIF Gamma-13 (Asimov’s Lawbringers) near Bend, 
Oregon. SCP-2306 was found in an office drawer with the following 
documents:

Additionally the following messages were found on sticky notes that 
were found attached to the document at the time of recovery. 


Jason, 


I’m glad you managed to fix most of those memory 
problems you were having with lan. Fingers crossed 
you'll get the discharge problem under your thumb soon. 
Phineas's notes say there are some incantations we can 
try that will bind him to accept all commands and limit his 
functionality outside the desired medium, but that means 
we're going to need a vessel much larger than a flash 
drive, which defeats the nimble design of the product. 
Just remember to keep this project quiet until | figure out 
how to get Vincent and Phineas on board. 


If | am correct these things are going to sell like 
hotcakes. I’ve already taken the liberty of contacting a 
supplier Marshall recommended and stockpiling about 
twenty more of the raw material for when we hammer all 
the bugs out so we can get a jump on the demand.

SCP-2307: The Pen Is Mightier 


Item #: SCP-2307 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2307-01 is to be stored in 
a medium-sized (35 liter) aquarium tank filled with water taken from 
either Dozmary Pool or Llyn Ogwen’, which is to be inspected 
weekly for flaws in the tank. Secondary and tertiary tanks are to be 
kept to store SCP-2307-01 during primary tank maintenance. 


SCP-2307-02 is to be kept in a climate-controlled case meant to 
preserve skeletal structures, and is to be cleaned and inspected for 
damage immediately after each test conducted with it. Use of 
SCP-2307-02 with other memory- or record-affecting SCPs is 
permitted with approval from O5-2. 


Description: SCP-2307-01 is the remains of a long sword, with a 
56 cm hilt and a partial blade approximately 40cm in length, 
estimated to be approximately 43% of its original size. Carbon 
dating has shown that the hilt and cross guard of the sword date to 
approximately the 4th Century CE; however, the metal used in the 
blade dates to approximately 3.2 Billion BCE. SCP-2307-01 is ina 
severe state of disrepair as a result of being submerged in water for 
at least 1300 years. 


SCP-2307-01's primary anomaly manifests when a subject makes 
contact with the hilt of the sword. Following this, all records 
pertaining to the subject will gradually distort in a manner that 
reflects positively on the subject, giving wildly different accounts of 
their life over a period of time: 


* Immediately after coming into contact with SCP-2307-01, birth 
certificates will have altered dates, spellings of names, and in 
some cases, gender. Typically, individuals will have their birth 
dates altered to be on more significant dates, such as July 7th 


(7/7), October 31st, December 25th, or February 14th. 

Within one year, educational records will show that the 
individual scored highly on tests and grading, if applicable, 
and will occasionally claim that a subject went to two or more 
different educational institutions in the same span of time. In 
addition, subjects lacking a college education will be shown to 
have at least a master's degree of some form. The subject's 
knowledge will not change regardless of what the records 
show. 

Within five years, if applicable, subject's financial records- 
including bank statements and tax records- will show them as 
being wealthy, with a net value of at least $750,000 American. 
Within ten years, records will show the subject being a 
prominent candidate in some form of political campaign, with 
inconsistent records of them either winning or losing to the 
candidate they were opposing. If a win, it will be in a landslide 
election; if a loss, it will be by a small margin. Memories of 
individuals that have voted in elections which the subject was 
allegedly a candidate in have no recollection of them existing. 
Finally, death certificates will not reflect the actual cause of 
death of the subject; subjects will invariably have died in some 
form of combat and died from causes such as sword blows, 
bullets, and arrows fatally impacting. 


Usually, most accounts only agree on the fact that the subject held 
SCP-2307-01 at some point in their life. 


Furthermore, when SCP-2307-01 is not submerged in water taken 
from either Dozmary Pool or Llyn Ogwen, the metal of the blade will 
regenerate at a rate of approximately 15mm/day, and rust will begin 
to flake off of the blade. While no negative consequences are 
believed to occur if SCP-2307-01 regenerates fully, it is being kept 
submerged as per the containment procedures as a precaution. 


SCP-2307-02 is an item previously believed to be unrelated to the 
SCP-2307 anomaly. SCP-2307-02 is a shamanistic crown carved 
from the skull of a horse, believed to have been worn during rituals 
in 5th-7th Century Britain. SCP-2307-02 is in poor condition, with 
several fractures in the bone as a result of age and repeated use in 
recent years. 


SCP-2307-02, when worn, gives complete immunity to memory 
alteration, including all classes of amnestics, and all forms of 
cognitohazardous record alteration, such as those exhibited by 
SCP-2307-01. All memories experienced while wearing 
SCP-2307-02 are retained on an eidetic level. SCP-2307-02 was 
previously classified as E-9382-U, and was used in experiments 
involving memory- and record-altering anomalies. Following Test 
2307-19, it was reclassed as a component of SCP-2307. 


Test 2307-19: 


Hypothesis: Use of E-9382-U in conjunction with SCP-2307 will 
allow either for records pertaining to the subject to be unaltered, or 
for the records to be altered at will. If records are indeed able to be 
altered, the subject will attempt to modify their birth certificate so that 
it reads that they were born exactly one year before the date listed. 
Test Subject: D-2307-19, Born 08/15/1977. 

Record of Test: D-2307-19 reacts with some level of disgust at the 
prospect of wearing E-9382-U, stating that he "doesn't like freaky 
bone stuff". D-2307-19 says he will comply if he is given an extra 
dessert ration. Request granted; subject puts on E-9382-U. 


Subject is then instructed to remove SCP-2307 from its container. 
Subject briefly complains of hands getting wet, before exclaiming 
and dropping SCP-2307 on the floor five seconds after removing it 
from its container. 


When asked the reason for this action, Subject gave this statement: 


| was... holding the damn thing. | was on a horse, and 
there was an army around me. Not a big army, maybe 
sixty people, all of them with crosses on their armor. 
Some guy was next to me with this hat (indicating 
E-9382-U) on his head, telling me what | had to do to 
win. 


Testing was suspended following this statement. As of 5/21/2015- 
five years after the experiment was conducted- no alteration of 
D-2307-19's records have occurred. 


Conclusion: Further cross-testing with the two items is deemed 


necessary. 
Addendum: 


The following document collects statements given by D-2307-19, 
who has been rendered exempt from D-Class Reassignment for the 
purposes of study. Statements are listed in the order collected, and 
appear to be mostly about a single individual, with the exceptions of 
Statements 2307-42, 2307-51, 2307-57, and 2307-59, which is listed 
separately. 


| was in bed, with my wife- well, not my wife, but 
someone's wife; she felt like mine. She and | were talking 
about making a kid, but not with her. She couldn't have 
no kids anymore, after she got hit in the tummy with an 
arrow. | know | told someone to put the arrow in there, 
because otherwise, she would have had kids with my 
best friend... 


| couldn't breathe. It was the scariest experience of my 
fucking life. | felt like | was trapped in a fucking coffin, 
and it lasted for so long, and | couldn't breathe the whole 
time, but | was still alive. | remember some guys 
speaking in Latin, but | couldn't see them, and | knew 
they put me there. Then the coffin shook, and | heard 
some guy speaking... | dunno. It sounded like gibberish. 
"Build poi ban agh tongue-ooh clayed hun fod bringin’ a 
tea". Probably not English.2. 


There was a guy with this horse thing on his head, 
dancing around a fire in a big, wood hall. He would throw 
things into the fire, and they would form... images. Of 
people. People that | knew | had to find, before someone 
else did. They were warriors, and there were a ton of 
them. And | remember thinking that | was going to need 
a big hall for a table. You don't think... nah. 


| was Cutting off someone's head with a sword, like at an 
execution. | guess you guys know a lot about those, heh. 
It looked like the sword | was holding but... bright and 

shiny and new. Nothing fancy, just a really, really, really 


fucking sharp sword. It only took one blow to cut off his 
head; the hell is that thing made of, adamantium? 


That was scary, that was fucking scary. | was in battle 
with one of my men, fighting... elves, | think? That's the 
only way | can describe them. They wanted my sword, 
and my guy... he was about ten feet tall, and at one 
point, he grabbed one of the elves and ate him. He said 
something in French, and | laughed. | laughed at 
someone getting their head eaten. The fuck is wrong 
with me? 


| was dying. | knew | was going to die; one of my sons 
had stabbed me, and | had killed him first, but | was hurt 
bad. So, | had my men take me to a lake. | remember 
that | had spent time with my sister there-her name was 
Morcant- when | was young. What kind of name is that 
for a girl? Morcant. 


| just... wanted to see the place one last time before | 
died. Then, something... something came out of the 
water. She was beautiful. She looked even better than 
my wife did. Her skin was kind of blue, her nose was flat, 
and she had weird... feeler-things in her hair. God, I'd 
love to see her again. She wasn't human, | know that 
much. She asked me if | wanted to keep my legacy alive. 
| said yes. She asked for the sword, and | gave it to her, 
and she'd promised me she'd keep it safe.. She kissed 
me, said "goodnight", and... | was gone. 


| couldn't stop crying. A messenger came from the 
woods and told me that one of my best friends had died. 
| kept crying over that damn skull | was wearing, and it 
took me days to calm down. | sat in my bedroom the 
whole time, just... staring at the ceiling. I've never been 
that sad. | hope | never am again. 


| felt like | couldn't breathe for so long- | was in that coffin 
again, | think. Then, | was pulled out of the ground, and | 
cringed so hard; metal against stone is nota good 

sound. And then, | was someone else. | was just... a kid,
