Description: SCP-1817 refers to an irregularly shaped 5km2 area 
located approximately 2km outside of , France. A thick 
covering of fog, hereby designated SCP-181 7-1, is present at the 
location at all times, regardless of meteorological conditions. Testing 
has revealed no anomalous properties inherent in the composition of 
this fog. This substance is dense enough to obscure all vision more 
than 1.5m away. If inhaled, SCP-1817-1 releases a currently 
unidentified compound into the subject's body that creates a 
chemical reaction resulting in the combustion of said subject. 
Additionally, it will gradually strip away any exposed skin or organic 
matter over a period of thirty (80) minutes. As such, the entirety of 
the SCP-1817 area covered by SCP-1817-1 is devoid of all topsoil. 
An unknown component of SCP-1817-1 appears to act as an 
anesthetic during this process, as no subjects have reported feelings 
of pain until removed from SCP-1817 and separated from 
SCP-1817-1. 


SCP-1817-A refers to a group of entities that reside within 
SCP-1817. Due to the nature of SCP-181 7-1, it is presumed that 


these entities are not composed of organic materials. The 
appearance of these beings varies greatly, but several factors are 
present in all instances of SCP-1817-A: 


Using two (2) appendages for locomotion 

A dark green overall coloration 

A vaguely humanoid figure 

Possessing a large mouth-like opening that stretches across 
their torso 

Sapience, as well as the ability to speak and comprehend a 
wide variety of languages! 


Conversely, these beings also differ in several areas. Specifically: 


The amount of upper body limbs can number from two (2) to 
ten (10) 

The height of any given specimen ranges from 3m to 6m 
Wings resembling those of the giant golden-crowned flying fox 
(Acerodon jubatus) are present in the place of some upper 
body appendages 

The amount of teeth in the mouth-like cavity has ranged from 
none to several hundred 


These entities appear to be either unable or extremely unwilling to 
exit SCP-1817 and usually react violently to any attempts to make 
them do so. Additionally, instances of SCP-1817-A actively oppose 
any attempts of personnel to explore the SCP-1817 area. 


Interview Log-1817-Alpha: 


Interviewed: SCP-1817-A-01 

Interviewer: Agent Sophia Lagrange 

Foreword: The following log comprises of the 
Foundation’s first attempts at communicating with the 
SCP-1817-A instances. 

<Begin Log> 


Agent Lagrange: Hello. 


SCP-1817-A-01: Please leave. 

Agent Lagrange: | must ask some questions, please. 
SCP-1817-A-01: Please leave. 

Agent Lagrange: Why do you want me to leave? 


SCP-1817-A-01: It’s dangerous here, and we don’t need 
anyone interfering with our work. 


Agent Lagrange: We won't interfere. We can help you, 
surely. Just allow me and my team to venture further into 
this area, and we'll provide whatever assistance we can. 


SCP-1817-A-01: You can’t help, Sophia2. Nothing good 
will happen if your organization tries to interfere. 


Agent Lagrange: We have many resources, as well as 
knowledge that could be vital to whatever you are 
attempting to do. 


SCP-1817-A-01: No, you do not. If you continue to try to 
gain access, | will have to confront you physically. 


[Agent Lagrange consults with the rest of the team for 
several minutes.] 


Agent Lagrange: Alright. We will leave now. 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Agent Lagrange will lead a covert 
exploration mission into SCP-1817 in order to gather 
more information regarding the area and the anomalies 
lying within it. 


Mission Report-1817-Alpha: On 19/05/1995, Agent Lagrange, 
accompanied by MTF Epsilon-03 (aka “Sights for Sore Eyes”), 
ventured into SCP-1817 in order to explore the area and discover 
any additional possible anomalies. Almost immediately after entering 
the area, a large group of SCP-1817-A instances approached the 


group and forced the agents back towards the edge of SCP-1817. 
SCP-1817-A told Agent Lagrange, "We told you to stay away from 
our area," before heading back into SCP-1817. 


Mission Report-1817-Beta: Foundation agents approached 
SCP-1817 from above through the use of Foundation helicopter. 
This method of transportation had the dual purposes of both 
transporting personnel safely into various locations in the anomaly 
as well as temporarily clearing areas of SCP-1817-1. A group of 
SCP-1817-A numbering approximately fifty (50) individuals 
aggressively followed the helicopter’s path, but were unable to 
attack the vehicle. A large hole, roughly 20m in diameter, was 
discovered during this expedition. The SCP-1817-A expressed 
extreme distress when SCP-1817-1 was displaced away from this 
area, and began begging Foundation personnel to stop. At this 
point, several entities resembling [REDACTED], only three of which 
were successfully neutralized at the site by combined efforts of 
Foundation personnel and SCP-1817-A. The remaining nine (9) 
entities were subsequently tracked down and neutralized due to the 
extreme danger posed by their existence. Additionally, these beings 
created several anomalies similar to those found at the location of 
their origin, including vast areas of spatial displacement, 
permanently repeating temporal patterns, and reanimated human 
corpses. 


Addendum-1817-Gamma: As of 06/06/1995, no attempts to 
explore SCP-1817 are to be made without O5 deliberation. 


Addendum-1817-Delta: Unusual seismic activity was reported in 

, China on 09/02/1998. Foundation personnel sent to this 
area to investigate found dozens of entities similar to those 
witnessed within SCP-1817 during the events of Mission-1817-Beta3 
emerging from a large chasm, and subsequently began attempting 
to neutralize these subjects. Agents stationed at SCP-1817 reported 
many instances of SCP-1817-A leaving the area at extremely high 
speeds. These entities arrived at the scene of the new activity 
approximately two (2) hours after personnel reported witnessing 
them leaving the French area. Upon arrival, all SCP-1817-A subjects 
began emitting SCP-1817-1 from their mouths as well as using the 
combat methods against the hostile entities as previously noted in 


Mission Report-1817-Beta. Due to this, all the noted entities were 
presumably driven back into the chasm, and an area similar to 
SCP-1817, hereby designated SCP-1817-Beta, was created. Similar 
containment procedures have been enacted in this area. 


Addendum-1817-Epsilon: Seven (7) days after the events of 
Addendum-1817-Delta, an instance of SCP-1817-A approached a 
Foundation agent stationed at SCP-1817-Alpha and handed him a 
written note. The contents of the note were as follows: 


Thank you for trying to help. However, let us handle it 
next time. It's our job, and you'd just get in the way again 
and hurt yourselves. 


You contain yours, and we'll contain ours. 


Footnotes 

1. Foundation agents have thus far been unable to present a 
language that the SCP-1817-A entities are not fluent in. 

2. Agent Lagrange did not divulge her name at any point during this 
interview. 

3. However, these beings were notably slower and larger than those 
seen in the aforementioned report. Personnel roughly described 
their actions at this time as "confused and groggy."

SCP-1818: Flying Rabbits 


Item #: SCP-1818 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation interaction with the 

company is to be maintained so that no flights leave under the 
conditions which are known to cause SCP-1818. Any scheduled 
flights matching said conditions are to be delayed until after 13:40 
GMT, unless they were scheduled for the purposes of 
experimentation with SCP-1818; said flights should not contain 
unaffiliated passengers. 


All SCP-1818-A specimens generated by SCP-1818 are to be 
housed and studied at Biological Research Section 2B of Site-156. 
SCP-1818-B instances, as well as any other individuals who may 
have observed an occurrence of the event, are to be detained and 
provided with Class-B amnestics at the earliest available 
opportunity. See Document 1818-D for more information. 


Description: SCP-1818 refers to a phenomenon occurring on all 
public airline flights between Glasgow, Scotland and 
Langenhagen, Germany, leaving between 13:31 and 13:36 GMT. 
Flights travelling between these destinations at this time will not 
display anomalous properties unless scheduled and organised with 

1. The effects of this event are known to begin to manifest 
inside the plane itself, roughly ten to twenty (10-20) minutes into the 
flight. SCP-1818 typically progresses as follows: 


¢ Stage 1: Firstly, the remains of a dead, melanistic, 
Oryctolagus cuniculus (common European rabbit) female, 
designated SCP-1818-A, will be found in one of the baggage 
compartments of the vehicle. Cause of death usually appears 
to be asphyxiation as a result of smothering, while the state of 
the remains seem to indicate that either the animal died 
shortly before being discovered or that the body was well- 


preserved. 


¢ Stage 2: An individual passenger (designated SCP-1818-B) 
will display signs of distress, such as crying or screaming. 
Affected individuals have also been known to repetitively state 
the name Molly” or “Mrs. Molly”. During the entirety of Stage 
2, SCP-1818-B will not be responsive when addressed by 
other passengers. This behaviour will persist for five to ten 
(5-10) minutes. 


* Stage 3: SCP-1818-A will at this point appear to 
independently resume its vital and active functions, with no 
evidence of injury remaining — how this occurs is unknown. 
This process will be accompanied by loud shouting and 
excited expressions from SCP-1818-B, who will engage in 
play activity with SCP-1818-A until the end of the flight. Upon 
landing, the subject will cease erratic behaviour, and be 
unable to account for their actions during the event. 


Significant variations between occurrences of SCP-1818 have been 
observed to occur. Several notable examples of this have been 


Example No. Description 

1 SCP-1818-A did not manifest; 
instead, at the time Stage 1 was 
expected to begin, the monitors 
installed within the aeroplane 
began playing footage of a 
deceased rabbit. Stages 2 and 3 
progressed with the recorded 
footage behaving as a normal 
instance of SCP-1818-A would. 

2 The remains of SCP-1818-A 
appeared to have been used as 
meat in the cooking of a cottage 
pie, which was served to 
SCP-1818-B in a standard 
container. Stage 2 progressed as 
normal; however, the organism 
did not appear to have 


regenerated the injuries 
associated with cooking at Stage 
3. No passengers on the flight, 
including SCP-1818-B, observed 
this as unusual. 

SCP-1818-A did not fully 
manifest; instead, the leg and 
parts of the torso of a black 
European rabbit were recovered. 
Upon initiation of Stage 3, these 
appendages were observed to 
undergo occasional twitching, 
which ceased upon landing. No 
passengers on the flight appeared 
to acknowledge this discrepancy, 
and treated the remains as if they 
were complete throughout the 
event. 

At the onset of Stage 2, a live, 
male albino rabbit was found on 
the plane. This caused hostile 
behavior in SCP-1818-B, who 
then proceeded to kill the 
specimen through throttling. 
SCP-1818-B was not responsive 
to interrogation for the remainder 
of the flight, and Stage 3 did not 
OCCUTr. 

Details of this event are unknown. 
A airline flight which left 
under SCP-1818's conditions as 
result of containment failure was 
found to have crashed in the 
countryside of , .Attime of 
discovery, the crash-site 
contained the dead bodies of one- 
hundred-and-fifty-three (153) 
female black rabbits. None of the 
bodies of the human passengers 
recorded as having been on the 


flight were found. 


Note: The following text was found written in biro pen ona 
airline pamphlet which appeared to have survived the incident 
described in Example 5. 


| can’t remember how it goes anymore. 


Footnotes 

1. It has been determined that use of aeroplanes owned by 

does not meet the conditions for the occurrence of an SCP-1818 
unless the scheduling of the flight involves company officials.

SCP-1819: Darkness is Only Skin Deep. 


Item #: SCP-1819 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Procedures should be adapted 
to the age and condition of each instance of SCP-1819-X. The 
surface of the skin must be thoroughly and constantly exposed to 
500 lux of visible light (this can be reduced to 100 lux during sleep 
periods). Typical containment units are designed like tanning booths 
or beds, but equipped with lamps producing visible light. The 
following precautions must be implemented until the contagious 
nature of SCP-1819 is fully understood: 


* Instances of SCP-1819-X must be contained and studied 
under level 3 biosafety conditions. 

¢ Access to documents produced by instances of SCP-1819-X 
(such as writings, drawings and audiovisual recordings) 
requires clearance level 4 or approval from Dr. Ripoli. 

* Personnel assigned to instances of SCP-1819-X cannot be re- 
assigned to other projects involving children and should avoid 
interactions with children from the general population. 


Description: SCP-1819 refers to a medical condition that develops 
in human children between 4 and 13 years of age. Affected 
individuals are characterized by abnormal cutaneous sensitivity to 
the absence of visible light. Sporadic cases appear in individuals 
designated SCP-1819-X (where X is a number). Initial symptoms 
typically manifest during periods of more than 4 hours spent in 
darkness (hereby defined as less than 0.1 lux, but this threshold 
varies between cases). Symptoms include pain, itching, edema, 
blistering and peeling of skin, and are usually diagnosed as sunburn. 
The severity of these symptoms increases gradually with longer or 
repeated periods spent in darkness. Instances of SCP-1819-X also 
have an extremely high incidence of cutaneous neoplasias and 
usually die of malignant melanoma before puberty. 


Genome sequencing revealed a novel type of retroviral elements 
present only in affected skin tissues. These sequences contain a 
single functional gene that encodes an enzyme, referred to as 
SCP-1819-E. This enzyme was shown to catalyse the formation of 
pyrimidine dimers, a genotoxic modification of DNA normally 
induced by ultra-violet radiations. Visible light inhibits the activity of 
SCP-1819-E by an unknown mechanism. The retroviral sequences 
do not encode other functional proteins and the subjects do not 
produce detectable viral particles. 


Instances of SCP-1819-X manifest a strong fear of the dark 
(nyctophobia) for years before the onset of SCP-1819. They are also 
convinced of the existence of a "boogeyman" which they invariably 
describe as a black figure with a single "bright" or "burning" eye. It is 
unclear at present whether this persona is a real entity or a mental 
component of the disease. 


Instances of SCP-1819-X are contagious to other children. The 
biological basis for this contagion is unknown, but it requires 
SCP-1819-X to discuss their nyctophobia with the subject. Physical 
proximity and direct communication are usually necessary, but 
contagion was also observed to occur by written documents and 
drawings. Current data suggests that SCP-1819 has a memetic 
component, but it is not yet possible to exclude the existence of an 
undetected airborne vector. SCP-1819 is not contagious to adults. 
However, instances of SCP-1819-X who survive past puberty 
remain completely affected and are still contagious to children.

instances.
