Addendum 2492-1: SCP-2492-1's physical state has begun 
showing increasing signs of damage with each manifestation, 
barring greater levels of damage to pre-existing scarring and 
bruising. These injuries do not appear to heal over time. 
SCP-2492-1 has shown increasing signs of discomfort, often 
trembling while moving and when pressure is applied to its injuries 


from objects it interacts with. Scarring and bruising appear to worsen 
as SCP-2492-1 emerges from its manifestation point, which may 
imply the act of manifesting itself to be responsible for its increase in 
damage. Despite these factors, SCP-2492-1 continues to manifest 
with each activation of SCP-2492, and continues its standard 
behavior despite its continued signs of physical distress. 


Testing of SCP-2492 has also shown there to be a recurring change 
in SCP-2492-1’s behavior when it interacts with children who share 
a distinct set of shaped facial features with one another, all of which 
appear to match that of Milo 's (Details described in Document 
2492-A). This change in behavior is expressed through SCP-2492-1 
suddenly and frantically feeling various parts of the child's face, after 
identifying a facial feature similarly shaped as described in 
Document 2492-A. Due to the age range of children which activate 
SCP-2492’s anomalous effects and the current age of Milo 
exceeding this limit, the finding of children with almost identical facial 
features to Milo for use in testing has been approved. 


Addendum 2492-2: On //  ,achild with almost identical facial 
features to Milo 's was presented to SCP-2492. At this point in 
time, SCP-2492-1’s physical state had become significantly more 
damaged than previously recorded and showed signs of intense 
pain when making contact with the subject. After inspecting the 
subject's facial features for several seconds, SCP-2492-1 appeared 
to pause and repeat this process several times for the next few 
minutes. Afterwards, SCP-2492-1 remained still for several seconds 
while appearing to shake intensely. SCP-2492-1 then wrapped itself 
around the subject's head tightly and began stroking their cheek. 
Despite its condition, SCP-2492-1 continued this for approximately 
five hours, trembling while doing so. SCP-2492-1 retreated back to 
its origin point after the incident, appearing less agitated than 
previously. 


Addendum 2492-3: SCP-2492-1 has not reappeared since the 
previously mentioned test. SCP-2492 no longer functions despite all 
attempted efforts to switch it on or replace the bulb. Due to this, 
SCP-2492 has been reclassified as Neutralized.

SCP-2493: One Man's Garbage 


Item #: SCP-2493 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures (Revision 2): SCP-2493-1 is to 
be kept at Lunar Area-32 or at its designated containment 
chamber located 100km away, accessible by high-speed rail. 
SCP-2493-1 is to wear SCP-2493-2 whenever outside their 
designated containment chamber, and is to be restricted from 
attempting to leave their chamber until it is ensured SCP-2493-2 is 
correctly secured. SCP-2493-1 is to be provided with three meals 
each day, transmuted into antimatter by use of designated devices 
received from 2493’. (See Addendum 3.) 


SCP-2493-1 is to be psychologically evaluated twice weekly, and 
medication to be administered as required. 


A list of SCP-2493-1’s requests for updated containment procedures 
is to be submitted to the Ethics Committee on a bi-weekly basis for 
review and approval or rejection. Proposals to rescind approved 
requests are to be submitted to the Ethics Committee; any other 
attempts by staff to impede approved requests will result in severe 
reprimands at the discretion of the Overseer Council. The full list of 
approved and rejected requests are outlined in Document 2493-1; 
“Approved & rejected requests by SCP-2493-1 for updates to 
containment procedures.” 


Special Containment Procedures (Revision 1) 


SCP-2493-1 is to wear SCP-2493-2 at all times. 
SCP-2493-1 is to be kept in its modified humanoid 
containment cell at Lunar Area-32. The cell is to be filled 
with pure helium gas at a pressure of approximately 20 
kilopascals, and kept at a temperature of approximately 
280 Kelvin. The interior of the room is to be kept above a 


minimum of 270 Kelvin, to ensure continued biological 
function of SCP-2493-1. The interior surface of 
SCP-2493-1's containment cell is to be padded with a 
three centimetre thick layer of soft rubber. No sharp 
corners or points are to be present within SCP-2493-1's 
cell; all such corners or points are to be removed or 
padded. In the event of SCP-2493-2 becoming 
punctured, it and SCP-2493-1 are to be immediately 
jettisoned from the facility. MTF Gamma-4 
("Blondebeard's Crew") is to be notified to adjust the 
trajectory of the anomaly as required, and to prevent it 
from entering the earth's atmosphere and causing a UK- 
Class Global Irradiation event. 


SCP-2493-1 is to be supplied at least 2 kilograms of 
waste matter daily, to a maximum of 10 kilograms. 


Once weekly, a signal requesting contact is to be sent 
through the extradimensional anomaly located on the 
rear of SCP-2493-2 by use of a 4 MHz radio wave. The 
entity is also to be under surveillance at all times, and 
any attempts to hinder communication with the entity’s 
location of origin are to be reported to the site director 
immediately. (See Addendum 3.) 


A list of SCP-2493-1’s requests for updated containment 
procedures is to be submitted to the Ethics Committee 
on a bi-weekly basis for review and approval or rejection. 
Proposals to rescind approved requests are to be 
submitted to the Ethics Committee; any other attempts 
by staff to impede approved requests will result in severe 
reprimands at the discretion of the Overseer Council. 
The full list of approved and rejected requests are 
outlined in Document 2493-1; “Approved & rejected 
requests by SCP-2493-1 for updates to containment 
procedures.” 


Description: SCP-2493 is the collective designation for two 
components; SCP-2493-1 and SCP-2493-2. 


SCP-2493-1 is a male humanoid entity approximately 1.7 meters in 


height, and weighing approximately 95 kilograms. SCP-2493-1 is 
composed entirely of antimatter, but physically appears to be an 
ordinary human. SCP-2493-1 responds to the name of Joe Smith, 
and claims to originate from an alternate dimension composed 
primarily of substances with similar atomic composition to his. 
Psychological evaluation of SCP-2493-1 has revealed that it suffers 
from nostophobia! and an obsession with completing their mission. 
(See Addendums) 


SCP-2493-2 is a suit composed entirely of a previously 
undiscovered and currently poorly-understood substance that 
SCP-2493-1 refers to as ‘Buffer’, superficially resembling an airtight 
type 1 hazmat suit. This substance is entirely non-baryonic in 
nature, uniformly reflects all wavelengths of electromagnetic 
radiation resulting in a mirrored surface, and is also capable of 
preventing interaction between matter and antimatter. These 
properties prevent the contents of anything composed of this 
material from being examined by use of X-ray scanning, and 
severely impede physical examination. The material comprising 
SCP-2493-2 is flexible in a manner comparable to rubber, but has a 
texture consistent with polished metal. An impermeable barrier 
replaces the substance around SCP-2493-1’s facial region, serving 
as a two-way visor. The interior of the suit is also capable of emitting 
light from an undetermined source, and will do so upon instruction 
by SCP-2493-1. 


On the back of SCP-2493-2 is a multifunctional backpack that 
serves as an air recycler, a method of exchanging resources 
obtained by SCP-2493-1 for canned provisions,@ and an airtight 
input for canned provisions. SCP-2493-1 has never been observed 
to physically ingest these supplies; the entity states that this is 
attributable to nanites present within the interior of the suit, which 
constantly reassemble small sections of food within his mouth 
whenever available. It is theorized that the device is connected to 
SCP-2493-1's reality of origin via a stable extradimensional anomaly 
in the device, as this is the only reasonable explanation of how the 
provided waste materials can be converted into edible substances 
composed of antimatter. 


+ Addendum 1: Information Summary 


The following is a list of information regarding 
SCP-2493-1’s origins, obtained during several 
interviews. It should be noted that the only source of 
such information is the entity itself, and as such cannot 
be confirmed to be factual. (See Addendum 3.) 


SCP-2493-1 originates from an alternate reality 
(Henceforth 2493’) consisting entirely of 
antimatter. 


The society of 2493’ has access to or has 
developed technology that is significantly more 
advanced than that of our own, with such 
technology requiring large quantities of electrical 
energy to operate, typically exceeding the range of 
petajoules on a daily basis. 


Technology within 2493’ approximately 200 years 
ago 173 years ago produced large quantities of 
waste materials as by-products of their operation. 
Such technology has since been adapted to 
recycle their waste materials. These produced 
waste materials were transported to a poorly- 
understood location of abnormal geometry, 
described as being physically located between two 
of the three axis present within normal three- 
dimensional space. 


After an undefined period of time 40 years the 
inhabitants of this space began transporting their 
own waste materials to 2493’, with several 
described objects exhibiting anomalous 
phenomena sufficient to be classified as SCPs. 
This prompted the inhabitants of 2493’ to develop 
devices capable of severely hindering the transit of 
such waste material. 


An unidentified object, presumed to be of 
abnormal geometric origin, initiated an XK-Class 
Vacuum Decay within 2493’. Technology 
developed specifically to counter such a scenario 


spontaneously activates, protecting a small portion 
of 2493’ from the event; however, such technology 
is required to be powered continuously in order to 
sustain such protection. 


¢ Numerous working-class citizens of 2493’ have 
been deployed to alternate realities to obtain 
matter and transport it back, for the purpose of 
powering antimatter reactors. 


+ Addendum 2: Recovery interview log 
Interviewed: SCP-2493-1 
Interviewer: Researcher 


Foreword: This interview was conducted 
shortly after the acquisition of the entity, before 
the antimatter nature of SCP-2493-1 had been 
confirmed. 


<Begin Log> 


Researcher — : What is the suit you are 
wearing made of? 


SCP-2493-1: There's no atoms. Why are you 
detaining me? 


Researcher : Weneed to ask you some 
questions. Why do you need the suit? 


SCP-2493-1: Because you're made of 
antimatter.3 One plus negative one equals ka- 
fucking-boom. 


Researcher: Would you care to elaborate 
upon your objective? 


SCP-2493-1: | grab some of your stuff, send it 
back home. Doesn't matter what it is, as long 
as | send it back. 


Researcher : What do you require the 
resources for? 


SCP-2493-1: Fuel. The explosion makes a lot 
of energy, which can be turned into electricity. 
| need to get uhh... two... two? Yeah, two 
kilograms minimum of antimatter per day. | uh, 
think that’s how much they said would keep 
everything powered at least. Or was it five? 


Researcher : What are you referring to? 


SCP-2493-1: Mainly home electrics, water 
recycling, food production and vehicle 
electricity. There’s some more important things 
too, so could you please let me get back to 
work? 


Researcher  : If you are made of antimatter, 
aren't you aware of the ramifications that will 
occur if your suit is punctured? 


SCP-2493-1: | die and my employers lose a 
supply line, it was on the contract. It’s an 
acceptable loss, considering they can just find 
another source. 


Researcher _ : It would be safer to simply 
send you back. If you cooperate, we should be 
able to devise a method of sending you back. 


SCP-2493-1: You don’t need to send me back, 
I’m fine here. Just let me stay. 


Researcher: Why shouldn't we send you 
back? 


SCP-2493-1: It’s safer here. From what I’ve 
seen of here, we’ve been ahead of you in 
regards to technology for ages, but you’ve 
been able to handle waste much better than 


we did. We got lazy and sent it off to some 
vague location between dimensions for a 
couple of years, but as it turned out there 
were... things, living there, and seeing as we 
were fine with sending them our garbage, they 
seem to have decided to send their garbage to 
us as well. You know what sort of things that 
beings from between dimensions consider 
garbage? 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Theoretical calculations 
of the interaction of 2kg masses of matter and 
antimatter as described by SCP-2493-1 would 
produce 360 petajoules of energy; in 
comparison, the Three Gorges Dam in China, 
the world’s largest power station as of writing, 
produces 356 petajoules of energy per year. 
Questioning SCP-2493-1 in regards to the 
technology necessitating electrical input at this 
magnitude on a daily basis is currently 
underway. 


+ Addendum 3: Event logs 


On // , contact with 2493’ was successfully 
established by use of a 4 MHz radio wave 
transmitted through the extradimensional 
anomaly located on the rear of SCP-2493-2. 
The superiors of SCP-2493-1 apologized for 
the extended period of time taken for them to 
respond, and requested to speak to 
SCP-2493-1 personally. Several of 
SCP-2493-1’s claims, as well as additional 
false claims, were requested for confirmation 
to ensure that cooperative disinformation could 
not be attempted; all claims made by 
SCP-2493-1 (detailed in Addendum 1) were 
clarified and confirmed as true, with all 
additional false claims being denied. 


Interview 277-A 


Interviewed: Agent Davis 
Interviewer: Dr. A 
<Begin Log> 


Dr. A_ : Right, then. Please begin at the point where you first saw 
the SCP-277- . 


Agent Davis: Well, | was walking to a local diner after the end of my 
shift when | saw a cluster of them across the street. 


Dr. A: It would be helpful if you could include as many details as 
you can recall, Davis. 


Agent Davis: They were in the form of, er, rabbits. Most of those 
are, for some reason. Regular kids imagine things from spaceships 
to magic beanstalks within an hour, but all I’ve seen drawn in that 
style are rabbits. They were huddled at a street intersection, 
watching the passing people and cars, | think. They don’t move very 
much or play like the other sketches- that’s what the personnel there 
have taken to calling them, sketches- mostly they watch others. 


Dr. A: You weren't alarmed by them? 


Agent Davis: What? No. No, they were pretty common by then. 
They didn’t really do anything hostile, so the hype about them had 
calmed down. 


Dr. A. : Noted. Please continue. 


Agent Davis: Right- well, after | walked by them, | heard this kid 
scream from behind me. Little girl, maybe eight years old, she’d 
been playing with her sketch when | passed, this winged pony thing. 
So | turn around and one of the rabbits is on her sketch, I’ve never 
seen anything moving that fast, and it was... the closest | can think 
of is consuming it, while the girl was going into some type of seizure. 


SCP-2493-1 was allowed to communicate with 
his superiors, and was noted to praise Lunar 
Area-32 staff repeatedly throughout their 
conversation, promoting trading prospects.
