Description: SCP-2595-D is a spatial anomaly currently 
submerged at a height of 15 meters from the nearest 
surface within the Reservoir, River, Russia. 
Visually, the anomaly consists of a collection of 473 
statues made primarily of limestone that is directly 
connected to the society that composes SCP-2595. 
When approached by any sentient organism within a ten 
kilometer radius, SCP-2595-D will undergo a 
spontaneous modification. 


This modification is constituted of the complete 
disintegration of a standing statue located within 
SCP-2595-D and the simultaneous creation of a new 
structure resembling a figure of the original organism that 
came in contact with the expanding radius of the entity. 
Supplementary analysis of the phenomena taking place 
on the structures of SCP-2595-D has unveiled that the 
creation of a new instance is concurrent with the 
disappearance of adult human beings located around the 
area of the Reservoir. 


Additionally, it has been recognized by further 
observation that the creation of new human-shaped 
structures within SCP-2595-D coincides directly with the 
death of a senior member of the society designated as 
SCP-2595 and the following birth of a new component 
holding several characteristics that resemble the newly 
created limestone formation, including body shape, facial 


complexion and dressing amenities. 
Interview Excerpt: SCP-2595-399 


Interviewer: Dr. Armand 
Interviewed: SCP-2595-399 
Date: / / 


Foreword: This’ transcript has been 
elaborated after SCP-2595-399 — willingly 
submitted itself for interrogation within 
Foundation headquarters. It is hypothesized 
that this submission was a direct consequence 
of the triggering of Special Containment 
Protocol Theta-4¢ and the subsequent 
submerging of the ghost town of where 
SCP-2595-D was initially located. 


<Begin Excerpt> 


An _ initial feminine vocalization made by 
SCP-2595 using an unknown dialect is heard. 
Immediately after, a short audio transmission 
made by Foundation linguist Gregory 
informs Dr. of the nature of the phrase. 
The following lines registered as spoken by 
SCP-2595-399 are a direct translation from 
Arcadocypriot Greek to Modern English. 


Gregory — : This is a greeting, doctor. Please 
continue. 


SCP-2595-399: | apologize, hominid. | should 
have known the fact that your species is quite 
unfamiliar with these words. 


Dr. : You do seem to understand me. 


SCP-2595-399: Why wouldn't 1? Your 
vocabulary was structured by a language quite 


similar to the one | use. 


Dr. : Why have you chosen to speak to 
us at this time? 


SCP-2595-399: My visit has no purpose but 
that of a warning. 


Dr. : A warning? 


SCP-2595-399: We have noticed your newest 
experiment to try and hide our existance from 
your own people. We have felt it. 


Dr. : It is not my intent to hide your 
people. You should see, however, that we 
must also protect ourselves before we attempt 
to welcome a new civilization. 


SCP-2595-399: We are not a new civilization, 
doctor. We have been here before you, and 
we will be here after you. We foresee your 
destruction in your own hands. 


Dr. : What do you mean by "destruction 
in our own hands"? 


SCP-2595-399: You treat the unknown with 
such ignorance and arrogance. You do not 
fear us, but you do feel the need to showcase 
your superiority by attempting to sink 
something that is not even yours. 


Dr. : It was not our intent to "showcase 
superiority", however, the presence of 
SCP-2595-D has compromised a range wide 
enough to petrify a large amount of citizens. 
We cannot let that happen, no matter the 
legitimacy of your ideals. 


SCP-2595-399: It is far from  petrification, 
doctor. We are but a display of your own 


evolution. We mean to aid, not to harm. Do not 
refer to us using a number. We are not one of 
your daily amenities, doctor. And you will 
realize that. In time. 


<End Excerpt> 


After the last transcripted vocalization, 
SCP-2595-399 refused to communicate any 
longer with Foundation personnel and was 
escorted back to its original group in the 
proximities of , Rostov Oblast, Russia. At 
of time of writing, no further attempts of 
communication made by _ instances’ of 
SCP-2595 have been registered.

SCP-2596: A Big Ship-load 


Item #: SCP-2596 
Object Class: Euclid (previously Safe) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2596 is to be kept in a 
modified containment chamber at Reliquary Site-25, equipped with 
water drain flooring and transparent plexiglass ceiling. The water 
drain is to be connected to a storage chamber underneath the 
containment chamber. The storage chamber is to be emptied once 
per week. 


Subjects placed on SCP-2596 for at least one minute continuously 
are to be treated for wounds upon their exit from SCP-2596. Under 
normal circumstances, subjects placed on SCP-2596 are required to 
exit SCP-2596 when they are placed there for 2.5 minutes 
continuously. Approval from Project Head/2596 is required for 
experiments involving a subject placed on SCP-2596 for at least 
three minutes continuously. 


Description: SCP-2596 is a wooden raft with a surface area of 

2.4 m2. It is constructed entirely from wooden shards affixed 
together via an adhesive agent. Due to its makeshift appearance, 
irregularly-shaped openings are found throughout SCP-2596. 
Following the events of Experiment 2596/04, the openings secrete 
non-anomalous fresh water at a constant rate of 100 mL/s. 
Therefore, SCP-2596 has sustained significant water damage. 


Humans placed on SCP-2596 (hereon referred to as 'subjects’) will 
immediately experience visual and auditory hallucinations. They will 
consistently perceive their environment to be an overcast area of 
high brightness levels. Auditory hallucinations primarily involve 
words spoken in the subjects’ arterial language, urging them to 
forget or turn back. Despite apparent similarities with [DATA 
EXPUNGED], subjects retain sufficient agency to choose not to 
comply with the auditory hallucinations and any ties to [DATA 


EXPUNGED] is deemed to be either superficial or coincidental. 


As subjects remain on SCP-2596 for a continuous duration, 
puncture wounds will manifest on their palms and feet. If subjects 
leave SCP-2596 while the wounds are manifesting, further 
manifestation will cease upon exit. 


If subjects remain on SCP-2596 for more than three minutes 
continuously, they will vanish instantaneously. Their clothes and 
accessories (e.g. jewelry, implants, piercings) will remain on the 
SCP-2596. In addition, the subjects’ blood will secrete from the 
openings on SCP-2596, with the only known exception being the 
events of Experiment 2596/03. Prior to vanishment, subjects are 
capable of exiting SCP-2596 if they desire so. 


SCP-2596 was discovered in the basement of a private property 
near Lake Geneva on / /2005. The property served as a safe 
house for the Vera Crux Heresy.! Below is an excerpt of a pamphlet 
circulated among sect members, urging them to attend a gathering 
on / /2005. 


The True Cross is united. The fragments no longer lie in 
mindless idolatry. Come to Lake Geneva. We will 
embark on the vessel to Heaven and be in communion 
with the Lord. 


As such, a raid on said property was conducted by Mobile Task 
Force Alpha-26 ("Devour Dawn"). During the raid, one Vera Cruz 
Heresy member offered heavy resistance and attempted to deny 
access to the safe house's basement. Eventually, he was terminated 
by Foundation personnel. 


No other members of the Vera Crux Heresy were found, although 
their clothes and personal effects were found in the basement and 
they were confirmed to have entered it. Blood samples collected 
from SCP-2596's vicinity are believed to have originated from them, 
thus it is assumed that the other members have utilised SCP-2596. 


Intelligence gathered from the Horizon Initiative suggests that the 
Vera Crux Heresy was neutralised by Project Malleus@ following the 
raid on the safe house near Lake Geneva. However, no member of 


Project Malleus was present during said raid.

Interviewee: D-8375 
Interviewer: Agent Ahmad bin Ibrahim 


Foreword: The following interview aims to 
gain insight regarding the interviewee's 


Reassembling a body without non-vital organs or body parts will 
result in that organ or body part being absent when the organism 
awakes, the wound sealed by unknown means that leave little to no 
scar tissue. 


Providing a body part for a missing body part will result in said body 
part being attached to its new body seemingly without fail. It has 
proved effective for heart transplants, limb transplants, and 
exchanging skin from one person to another. 


Swapping the brains of two people results in a complete transfer of 
that person's personality and memories, and may be reversed, 
although subjects are often very disoriented for several days and 
complain of psychological and physical discomfort, like "wearing 
shoes not quite the right size". 


Swapping body parts between different species has yielded mixed 
results. Dr. Rights has suggested that testing continue, and the 
request is pending. Only three successful cross-species transfers 
have occurred out of the twenty tests performed so far. 


001 - A cat's left eye was swapped out for a human's left eye. The 
subject could use the eye fully, and mentioned they felt they had 
adapted to it rather well. Their new left eye displayed all the abilities 
of a cat's eye, including difficulty seeing colors and heightened 
perception in the dark. (Although this test was unauthorized, the 
results were considered to be mildly impressive enough to allow 
further testing.) The cat, given a human eye, clawed its human eye 
out in a week. 


007 - A human's brain was successfully transferred into the body of 
an English mastiff, reportedly thanks to the dog's large skull size. He 
requested to be transferred back to his human body as soon as 
possible, though. The mastiff, in the human's body, learned to walk 
upright within a few hours and was disassembled again after an 
incident involving the humiliation of a female doctor. 


016 - A female class-D personnel had her reproductive organs 
switched with those of a pregnant Labrador retriever. 


No tests involving using SCP-291 with other SCPs have yet been 


whereabouts following the events of 
Experiment 2596/03, and is conducted in 
Arabic. 


<Begin Log> 


Agent Ahmad: D-8375, peace be upon you. It 
has been a while since your disappearance, 
yes? 


D-8375: | didn't disappear. You people put me 
on that piece of wood and sent me away. 


Agent Ahmad: | suppose you recall your last 
test with my colleagues? 


[D-8375 raises his palms, both of which were 
bandaged. ] 


Agent Ahmad: | see that you were treated for 
those injuries. 


D-8375: No thanks to you people. [sighs] 


Agent Ahmad: | can assure you that it was 
not intentional. We did not understand the 
phenomenon well enough then. It's still the 
case now, so we need information. So help us 
out. It is by God's will that you return to us 
today. 


D-8375: [sighs] God willing. [pauses] Okay, 
what do you want to know? 


Agent Ahmad: Let's start from where you 
went to after vanishing from the raft. 


D-8375: | didn't know where it was exactly, but 
| was there before | knew it. And the first thing 
| saw were half a dozen Christians and 
Muslims armed with AK-47s. 


Agent Ahmad: And how did you deduce that? 


D-8375: Most of them were obviously 
Christians, with this strange cross with a 
diagonal line across the vertical one. The 
others were definitely Muslim. | think | can 
recognise my people, so to speak. 


Agent Ahmad: Okay. How did they respond to 
your presence? 


D-8375: | begged for their mercy. If you were 
in my situation, you would too! | mean, | was 
naked and in no position to do anything else! 
But fortunately, they realised | mean them no 
harm and gave me something to cover myself. 
| was lucky too. When | appeared, they looked 
ready to gun me down. 


Agent Ahmad: Do you know why they spared 
you? 


D-8375: Maybe a moment of mercy? Anyway, 
they then interrogated me. Asked me if | know 
anything about entering Heaven alive, where | 
was from and- 


Agent Ahmad: Did you tell them about us? 
D-8375: | was in no position to lie. 


Agent Ahmad: What about the place you 
appeared in? Any distinct features? 


D-8375: | was standing on wood. But | 
disposed of it at their orders. 


Agent Ahmad: Their? 


D-8375: The men who ‘greeted’ me when | 
arrived. They made me help out at their base 
since then, mostly menial labour. 


Agent Ahmad: Can you elaborate on the 
menial labour? 


D-8375: Err, physical stuff. They would ask me 
to clean up the stronghold sometimes. My first 
task was to help them dispose of severals 
bags of ashes in the Volga. 


Agent Ahmad: Do you know any details about 
those ashes? 


D-8375: | was told that they belonged to fools 
who thought they would enter Heaven but 
instead walk towards their deaths, so | should 
not pray for their souls at all. 


Agent Ahmad: | see. So you have been 
working with those people since then. 


D-8375: | have no other options. Look at me, 
I'm an Arab stranded in a foreign land. 
Besides, they told me that they were doing 
God's work and how | can do God's work 
indirectly by helping them. After what | went 
through in my life, | needed that. 


Agent Ahmad: So did those people tell you 
why they were disposing the wood? 


D-8375: Told me that it was no longer needed. 
You know, after | sawed off the wood, it was 
suddenly splattered with blood. And there were 
slices of flesh lying on the floor. At least the 
tattoo was still visible. 


Agent Ahmad: What kind of tattoo was it? 


D-8375: The same kind of tattoo you people 
gave me. [gestures to his chest and wrist, 

where identification tattoos are present] The 
number is the one after mine, although | did 


not know the person. Anyway, they then 
instructed me to burn everything. 


Agent Ahmad: Does that include the wood? 


D-8375: Yes, and | dumped the ashes into the 
Volga. They should still be there, | think. 


Agent Ahmad: | see. Do you have anything 
else to say? 


D-8375: Yeah. Keep me away from those 
people. | think they blame me for your people's 
attack on them. Their mercy runs thin.
