Special Containment Procedures: Owing to its complete non- 
existence, no containment procedures for SCP-3443 have ever 
existed. Protocol 00-Null Engram is in place to manage any 
hypothetical SCP-3443 instances. The existence of this protocol is in 
no way an assertion of the possible existence of any such 
phenomenon. 


In accordance with Protocol 00-Null Engram, should evidence 
suggesting the existence of SCP-3443 ever be discovered it is of 
vital importance that it be ignored completely and no action or 
investigation taken in response. Even vague or circumstantial 
evidence is to be disregarded entirely regardless of source or type. 
This directive applies to all personnel regardless of rank, clearance, 
assignment, or any other considerations. 


Any individuals, Foundation personnel or otherwise, who indicate 
any belief in SCP-3443 or demonstrate a clear propensity towards 
such belief, are to be immediately reported to Taskforce 03- 
Macaque. Taskforce 03-Macaque is trained to administer Frobisher- 
Gladstone personality restructuring (use of class D, E, and F 
Amnestics authorized as necessary) as a precautionary measure. 


No research or investigation has been or is to be undertaken into 
any SCP-3443 candidate beyond those measures necessary for 
supporting the ability of the Foundation to comply with protocol 00- 
Null Engram, such as ensuring that integrity of this database entry 
and maintenance of Taskforce 03-Macaque. 


Description: SCP-3443 is a designation within the SCP Foundation 
database which serves as a placeholder for a class of hypothetical 
anomalous phenomena. The designation describes any memetic or 


cognitohazardous phenomenon or entity which in some way asserts 
an impossibility for knowledge about itself to either exist or be 
expressed. This could be by either direct interference with any 
knowledge relating to itself or prevention by some means of any 
communication regarding itself. It is the unequivocal position of the 
SCP Foundation that no phenomena of this type exist, however due 
to their nature confirmed total non-existence is insufficient reason 
not to deploy general safeguards against them. 


Although multiple entirely mutually unrelated phenomena of this type 
could exist (rather than the none which do), only a single 
designation will be allocated. Given that no specific real instances 
could ever be described in any detail, no reason exists for reserving 
additional designations. 


It is hypothesized that the existence of any knowledge of such a 
phenomenon, given that it would be a memetic cognitohazard of 
some kind, could have possible consequences including but not 
limited to: 


* Inability of any person to acquire or to retain such knowledge 

¢ Replacement of any expression of such knowledge with 
unrelated information 

¢ Replacement of any expression of such knowledge with a 

direct denial of that knowledge 

Inability for any person holding such knowledge to continue to 

exist or have existed 

Inability for any form of information regarding any person 

holding such knowledge to be perceived 

¢ Various AK-class end-of-the-world scenarios 

¢ Various CK-class restructuring scenarios 


The above examples are purely conjecture and serve only to 
illustrate the importance that containment of such a phenomenon 
might have if any existed. 


The exact criteria to qualify as knowledge of any SCP-3443 
candidate that would trigger these effects cannot be known exactly. 
It can only be inferred that non-specific suspicion, such as the mere 
suggestion that such phenomena might exist, is insufficient to initiate 
the effects of any extant SCP-3443. As no SCP-3443 instances 


exist, this inference is of little value. 


Addendum: 


Dr 


"Honestly what do we even have this entry for? It has 
never been Foundation policy to devote resources to 
managing problems which don't exist, we have more 
than enough trouble trying to keep up with things which 
can't exist but do... 


Wow, it seems that even the person who put this here 
doesn't want to be associated with it. | think this might be 
the first entry in the database I've ever seen without any 
mention of previous researchers or even account names 
listed in the edit history. | guess it makes sense that no- 
one wants to admit to this garbage though. And what's 
this Taskforce it's talking about? I'm not sure it even 
exists, but if it does... are we seriously employing people 
for this crap?" 


- Dr 


has submitted a formal request that database entry for 


SCP-3443 be reviewed for deletion and expungement from all 
archives, along with review of any associated divisions or 
taskforces. 


"Staff are reminded that while requests to either modify 
Foundation archives outside normal editing channels or 
dissolve assets can be made, they are taken extremely 
seriously and only to be used where necessary. Wasting 
O5 time by ironically tricking the submission form into 
accepting an unsigned request to make a complaint 
about anonymous edits and wastage of Foundation 
resources is completely unacceptable conduct. This 
incident will be investigated. As SCP-3443 does not 
exist, however, the request for deletion will still be 
considered. 


Entry for SCP-3443 will remain for the time being 
pending the outcome of that review, until then the 00-Null 


subject show a number of irregularly shaped masses throughout the 
body. Among these are the orifice blockages noted above. The 
brain, heart, liver, and kidneys are also obscured by additional 
masses. 


Before attempting the Y incision, | elected to excise a 1cm square of 
skin from the subject's left flank. Examination of the tissue under a 
microscope shows nothing out of the ordinary. However, observation 
of the wound shows that scab tissue is visibly forming already, less 
than a minute after the excision. Within 5 minutes, the wound is 
healed and there is no scarring whatsoever. 


Given the rapid healing of tissue damage, the internal examination 
had to be quick by necessity. | hesitate to repeat the Y incision in 
order to examine the subject more thoroughly, at least for now. As | 
completed the incision | saw the subject's lips moving silently as she 
continued to stare at me. We should avoid the possibility of 
irreparable damage until we know more about its behavior, or until 
we have located a second specimen. 


During the brief internal examination | observed that the masses on 
the X-ray appear to be boxes made of the same metal as the 
blockages. They are connected to each other and to other 
unobstructed organs by an assortment of wires and hoses. The 
boxes themselves appear to be seamless and were not noticeably 
damaged by my scalpel or bone saw. The wire and hose 
connections are flush to the boxes and have no obvious means of 
removal. 


At this point the Y incision was slowly closing as it healed. | removed 
the clamps and watched as the incision healed fully in just over 11 
minutes with no visible scarring. The subject's lips stopped moving 
shortly before the wound closed completely. 


Unfortunately it seems that this examination has produced more 
questions than answers. The movement of the eyes and mouth 
during the examination suggest that a degree of sapience may be 
retained by the subject. However, there is no concrete evidence. | 
can speculate that the organ boxes may be preserving the body and 
governing its limited and peculiar functions, but there is also little 
evidence to confirm this. These questions will likely remain 


Engram protocol will remain in force. This will include the 
continued use of personality restructuring as prescribed. 
All staff are reminded that no instances of SCP-3443 
exist and that all containment procedures are to be 
followed entirely.”

SCP-3444: She Took The Midnight Train Going 
Anywhere... 


Item #: SCP-3444 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The town of Nowhere has been 
comprehensively purchased by the Foundation, and has been 
converted into Site 90, the headquarters of the Unreality Division. 
Entrance into and out of Nowhere is prohibited to any civilians. 


The use of SCP-3444 for recreational purposes has been approved. 
Any staff member with Level 2 clearance or higher at Site 90 is 
permitted to use it up to 2 times per year, with priority given to those 
suffering from stress, overwork or particular mental health issues. 


Description: SCP-3444 is a train station located on the outskirts of 
the town of Nowhere, North Dakota. SCP-3444 contains only a 
single train-line which, if one approaches from the outside, appears 
to abruptly end approximately 50m out of SCP-3444 on either side. 
Both externally and internally, SCP-3444 is decorated in a design 
reminiscent of a 1920s "Art Deco" style. Several signs throughout 
the station are emblazoned with the word "NOWHERE"; a small 
digital monitor is present over the platform, constantly showing the 
phrase "GOING: ANYWHERE". 


SCP-3444 manifests at 12 AM each night; should no human enter it, 
it will demanifest one hour later. Should a human mammal enter it, a 
Golden Event will begin; this results in SCP-3444 immediately 
disappearing to outside observers, before remanifesting at a 
variable time several hours later’. 


To the observer within SCP-3444, the Golden Event progresses 
thusly: 


* A 4-8-4 type locomotive? attached to a single 1920s-style 


carriage, will abruptly pull into the station. The locomotive and 
its carriage are hereafter referred to as SCP-3444-1. 
SCP-3444-1 is painted entirely black, except for the words 
"Midnight Train" painted in white upon the side of the 
locomotive. 


The entrant into the station- hereafter referred to as the 
subject- will then be affected by a cognitohazardous effect. 
This effect compels the subject to abide by the "script" which 
governs the Golden Event and the Silver Events. The effect is 
mild to begin with, but intensifies in strength throughout the 
course of the Golden Event; a subject without 
cognitohazardous training ordinarily remains lucid until 
midway through SCP-3444-3's Silver Event. 


The subject will enter the carriage of SCP-3444-1. 
SCP-3444-1 will then proceed to leave the station. Once 
outside, it will become apparent from the significantly altered 
surroundings that SCP-3444 and SCP-3444-1 are now 
located in an entirely different locale, believed to be a different 
dimension. 


After approximately 8 kilometers of travelling, SCP-3444-1 will 
pull into another station, which is apparently identical to 
SCP-3444 except for the absence of the digital display, and 
with the signs displaying the name "NOWHERE" instead 
displaying the word "ORIGINS". This station is henceforth 
referred to SCP-3444-2. SCP-3444-1 will then stop, and will 
not resume its journey until the subject has alighted, left 
SCP-3444-2, entered the surrounding locale and returned 
onto SCP-3444-1. 


Within this locale, the first Silver Event (henceforth referred to 
as Silver Event A) will occur. Each Silver Event involves the 
subject being compelled to act as the protagonist in an 
elaborately-acted cinematic scene. These scenes are 
apparently improvised but often involve complex 
choreography and singing. The landscape which appears 
outside each station is always thematically appropriate for the 
purposes of the Silver Event, as are the various individuals 
who inhabit each locale and participate in each Silver Event. 


These individuals are henceforth designated SCP-3444-9 
instances. The landscape onto which each station opens and 
the nature of each Silver Event vary from subject to subject, 
often incorporating details from the subject's memories. The 
combination of all 8 Silver Events in each Golden Event 
together appear to form a broad narrative, the details of which 
can be found below.
