SCP-3034: The Counting Station 


Provisional Site-3034 


Item #: SCP-3034 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Three Foundation personnel 
are to remain on-site, with at least one employee monitoring radio 
frequencies for occurrences of SCP-3034. All personnel are to have 
at least C1 certifications in Russian. Radio equipment is to receive 
weekly diagnostic checks to ensure all devices are in working 
condition. Personnel are rotated off-site on a monthly basis. 


If, at any time, an occurrence of SCP-3034 is detected, personnel 
are to immediately respond on the same frequency with a message 
in Russian: Bce xopowo ("All is well"). In any instance where 
communication is lost with the site, MTF Epsilon-10 ("Santa's Little 
Helpers") will be mobilized to investigate and secure the area. 


Under no circumstances is on-site radio equipment to be used for 
any other purpose besides transmitting the phrase, "Bce xopolwo" 
("All is well"). Under no circumstances should an attempt be made to 
communicate with SCP-3034 (see attached incident report). 


Under no circumstances are children permitted on-site. 


Description: SCP-3034 is a reoccurring anomalous radio broadcast 
of unknown origin. As of this date, the transmission has only been 
observed within approximately 2 kilometers of Provisional Site-3034. 
All attempts to triangulate the source of SCP-3034 have failed. 
Since 1964, there have been over 627 occurrences of this 
broadcast. They occur at apparently random intervals — the 
shortest gap was two weeks, and the longest was 6 months. 


All occurrences of SCP-3034 follow the same format: A synthesized 
musical 'tone’ plays for approximately 10 seconds, followed by the 


voice of SCP-3034-A (estimated to be a female adolescent of 
Russian nationality). SCP-3034-A immediately begins to count 
backwards from 200 in Russian (UPDATE 2015/05/17: See attached 
incident report). If, during this countdown, Provisional Site-3034 
broadcasts "Bce xopolwwo" on the same frequency, SCP-3034-A 
immediately stops counting. The same tone from the beginning of 
the broadcast plays again, and the broadcast ends. 


Anotable audio distortion occurs in the background of 
SCP-3034 as SCP-3034-A speaks: 


Attempts to analyze this distortion are ongoing (see attached audio 
analysis below). 


Testing has shown that SCP-3034 does not respond to recorded 
occurrences of "Bce xopowio". It is for this reason that personnel 
must be present at Provisional Site-3034 at all times.

RECOVERY REPORT 


DATE: 1964/02/02 

RECOVERY LEAD: Commander Robert 
Malthus 

SUBJECT: SCP-3034 


We were first made aware of the site by a 
defecting agent of GRU-P.1 Although allegedly 
a Russian-aligned counting station,2 
preliminary reports indicated a high probability 
of anomalous activity. 


| assembled a team consisting of myself, five 
of my men, and Agent Browning (selected for 
his proficiency in several Russian dialects). 


Once appropriate preparations were made, we 
set out to investigate. 


We found the site uninhabited. Evidence 
strongly suggests it was evacuated a week 
prior to our arrival. It contains several pieces of 
well-maintained radio equipment, a diesel 
generator (found running when we arrived), 
numerous partially burned records, and over 
twenty logbooks (all written in Russian). These 
books describe broadcasts received by the 
station. The oldest entry is dated to 1947. 


We also found two phrases carved into a desk. 
Agent Browning translated them from Russian: 


TELL HER ALL IS WELL 
DO NOT LET HER FINISH 


On the second day at approx. 0730 hours, an 
automated alarm sounded. We later 
determined this alarm is triggered by incoming 
broadcasts. Upon activating the radio's 
speakers, we heard a young woman speaking 
in Russian. Agent Browning informed us that 
this woman was counting downward, and had 
reached '76'. 


After a short debate, it was decided that the 
most prudent course of action would be to 
follow the instructions on the desk. Dr. 
Browning interrupted the broadcast with the 
provided phrase ("Bce xopowio", or "ALL IS 
WELL"). The voice stopped. A tone played, 
and the broadcast ceased. 


| have left Agent Browning on-site along with 
two of my men; they have sufficient fuel and 
rations to last for three weeks. My 

recommendation is for constant surveillance 


to be preferred in all interactions with SCP-370 or potentially 
SCP-370 contagious data. 


All live broadcasting capability will be removed from any Foundation 
Site that shows signs of SCP-370 presence and restored one (1) 
year after the last SCP-370 event. 


Any personnel assigned to SCP-370 who show a sudden 
improvement in overall well-being should be quarantined and 
deprived of sleep. If any personnel continue to display ‘happiness’ 
symptoms despite this measure termination will be authorized. 


Description: SCP-370 is a key. The size, shape, material and 
general appearance of SCP-370 are unknown. Knowledge of these 
characteristics is the primary vector for the spread of the SCP-370 
disease, therefore all records thought to contain such information 
have been destroyed without review. 


The disease caused by SCP-370 has three distinct sets of 
symptoms, designations SCP-370-a, b and c. The form of the 
disease appearing in any given subject appears to be determined 
primarily by personality. 


- SCP-370-a manifests most frequently in subjects characterized by 
their peers as self-centered or cowardly. It is the most common 
manifestation. Subjects suffering from SCP-370-a show no 
symptoms upon the initial infection. However, these subjects will 
commit suicide as soon as they have an opportunity to do so with 
minimal suffering (for example, SCP-370-a victims will jump from 
high ledges or shoot themselves in the head with firearms, but will 
not cut their own wrists or hang themselves). 


The instant the subject’s heart ceases to beat, the infected corpse 
will glow brilliantly and undergo an unknown transformation. Detailed 
knowledge of the transformation is a vector for the infection, as is 
direct visual contact with the light produced. No trace of any part of a 
subject’s corpse has ever been recovered following this 
transformation. 


- The majority of SCP-370-b subjects are commonly described as 
both extroverted and altruistic, however, an identical manifestation 


until the precise nature of this anomaly can be 
determined.

AUDIO LOG 


NOTE: The following audio was recovered 
from partially burned magnetic tapes 
discovered on-site. All dialogue is translated 
from Russian. 


[BEGIN LOG.] 
[Shuffling papers.] 
VOICE 1: Let's get this over with. 


VOICE 2: You attempted to steal state 
property, Sergei. How did you think this would 
end? 


VOICE 1: She is not state property. She has a 
name. 


VOICE 2: What was your intention? To defect 
to the Americans? Let them know about our 
little project? 


VOICE 1: You know me. You know | have 
served with honor and distinction. You know | 
would never — 


VOICE 2: Did they promise you money? 
Asylum? And what did you imagine would 
happen to her? Did you think you would raise 
her as your own? 


VOICE 1: This is wrong. You know this is 
wrong. You are meddling in powers you can't 


possibly — 


VOICE 2: And do you think the Americans 
understand what powers they meddle with? Do 
you think they have any inkling of what this 
‘atom-bomb' can do? 


VOICE 1: | know that one does not make 
deals with atom-bombs. One certainly does 
not sacrifice little girls to them. 


VOICE 2: A sacrifice that will save millions, if 
not billions— 


VOICE 1: Presuming the Americans even 
believe this 'fable' exists. Presuming they think 
us monstrous enough to use it. 


VOICE 2: They will. We will show them. A 
small taste. Just as they demonstrated their 
power at Hiroshima, we will — 


[Scuffling, followed by shouting.] 
VOICE 2: | trust you will control yourself, now? 


VOICE 1: (panicked) You cannot do this. The 
nightmares. | know you have had them, just as 
| have. The voices, screaming in the dark. 
That's what it wants, Vaslov. That's what it is. 
You cannot make a deal with this thing — we 
have finally contained it, and now you want to 
offer it — 


VOICE 2: Only if they force our hand. 


VOICE 1: You can't — for the love of God, you 
can't —

SUBJECT: Audio Analysis of SCP-3034 


We've been listening to this signal for just over 
half a century, now. During that time, we've 
recorded every instance of SCP-3034 since its 
discovery (except the very first one; attached 
you'll find a mission report regarding details of 
this occurrence). That's over 600 recordings. 


We've explored every avenue of inquiry | can 
think of. We can't track the signal, and upper 
management — quite reasonably — doesn't 
want us trying to talk to it. That's why I'm 
contacting you. 


I'm hoping with in-depth vocal analysis, you'll 
be able to tell us more about the voice on this 
recording. Cross-reference it with recordings of 
other number stations, maybe. Or give us a 
geographical location based on dialect and 
accent — an estimated age. Something, 
anything. 


Otherwise, I'm out of ideas. All | know is that 
someone's broadcasting recordings of a little 
girl counting down to zero — and we're all too 
scared to find out what happens if we let her 
finish. 


I'm starting to wonder if this isn't some sort of 
elaborate prank.

SUBJECT: RE: Audio Analysis of SCP-3034 


The broadcasts aren't recordings. 


Variations in tone, pitch, and phrasing make it 
clear that each instance of SCP-3034 is a new 
occurrence; each count-down is vocally 
unique. Either someone recorded this little girl 
counting down over and over again, hundreds 
of times... or she's been broadcasting these 
signals for over 50 years. 


There's more: We've analyzed the audio 
distortion in the background. It appears to be 
more voices, only slowed down. Just like 
SCP-3034-A, these are vocally unique for 
each occurrence. Regrettably, the distortion is 
far too weak for us to make out what they're 
saying. However, the length of the broadcast 
seems to correlate with the strength of the 
distortion — the longer the broadcast goes on, 
the louder the distortion becomes. 


Ironically, the problem is that we're too good at 
containment: Foundation personnel mobilize 
so quickly that no transmission we've recorded 
has lasted longer than 30 seconds. If we had 
longer transmissions, we might be able to 
extrapolate more data. 


My recommendation is that you allow the 
signal to go on for longer than 30 seconds. 
Maybe then we'll be able to determine 
precisely what It is.

Recommendation approved. Foundation 
personnel have been instructed to allow the 
next five iterations of SCP-3034 to continue 
until it reaches '50'. Hopefully, this will provide 
enough useful data for us to analyze the 
distortion and figure out what the hell is going 
on. 


I'll send you the files once we have them.

immediately.

INCIDENT REPORT 


INCIDENT #: 3034-201 
DATE OF OCCURRENCE: 2015/05/17 


A Foundation researcher assigned to 
SCP-3034 (Dr. Uriel Willis) misappropriated 
radio equipment to conduct an unofficial 
experiment. During an occurrence of 
SCP-3034, she attempted to establish 
communication with SCP-3034-A. 


SCP-3034-A ceased counting. Approximately 
5 seconds later, an extremely powerful 
broadcast was detected. This signal consisted 
of a high-pitched ‘screech’ which inflicted 
significant levels of pain, dizziness, and 
disorientation to all personnel present. The 
signal continued for a period of 25 seconds, at 
which point Dr. Willis used Provisional 
Site-3034's radio equipment to transmit the 
appropriate phrase ("Bce xopowo"). The 
broadcast immediately ceased. 


Within the next 24 hours, researchers noted a 
significant increase in missing children cases 
across the world. In the majority of these 
cases, the disappearances occurred at a time 
roughly correlating with the 25-second 
broadcast. All cases believed to be associated 
with SCP-3034 have remained unsolved. 


Disciplinary action against Dr. Willis is still 
under review. Special containment procedures 
have been updated to reflect the importance of 
not interacting with SCP-3034-A outside of 
stated parameters. 


All tests regarding SCP-3034 are suspended 
until further notice.

INCIDENT #: 3034-202 
DATE OF OCCURRENCE: 2015/05/21 


An occurrence of SCP-3034 was detected. 
Personnel present responded with the 
appropriate transmission, leading to a 
cessation of SCP-3034. However, two distinct 
changes were noted: 


* SCP-3034's audio distortion was 
significantly louder. 
* SCP-3034-A began at 199.

SCP-3035: Science Bugs 


An unmutated instance of SCP-3035 


Item #: SCP-3035 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All known instances of 
SCP-3035 are contained in Site-173 (a decommissioned Foundation 
site). Site-173 has two entry points: Entry A and Entry B. 


Entry A, the primary entrance, has been buried beneath 4 meters of 
concrete. Entry B, a vacuum-tube transit system, is used for 
deliveries to and from the interior of Site-173. MTF Nu-13 
("Rasczak's Roughnecks") is to maintain a provincial base at Entry 
B. They are to terminate any instance of SCP-3035 on sight. 


Approximately once a week, a package will emerge from Entry B's 
vacuum-tube system. Typically, this package will contain various 
non-anomalous materials (see below). Each package is to be placed 
in quarantine, where it is to be examined, documented, and then 
incinerated. 


Entry into Site-173 is prohibited until further notice. 


Description: SCP-3035 is a strain of Periplaneta americana 
(American cockroach, or water-bug) that mimics the behavior and 
outward appearance of organisms it observes.
