00:37:16 - [The camera pans in on a large 
puppet, surrounded by puppets half its height 
wearing hazmat suits. The large puppet is dark 
red with a pale grey underbelly. Spines run 
down its head and back, and its mouth ends in 
a proboscis. Sheriff Buddy can be seen in the 
foreground.] 


00:38:02 - Sheriff Buddy: Just remember kids, 
things like smoke detectors make loud noises 
to alert you of danger, so always pay attention. 


00:38:34 - [A loud piercing noise can be heard, 
like that of a smoke detector. As it does the 
larger puppet starts to convulse, and the other 
puppets put their hands over their ears. The 
noise grows increasing louder for several 
seconds before reaching its peak. As it does, 
all the puppets besides the largest liquefy, and 
the webcast abruptly ends.] 


END TRANSCRIPT 


This specific webcast proved significantly more difficult 
than the others to locate, and as a result only cut off due 
to the events in the webcast itself. Due to the nature of 
this broadcast, the location where webcast was 
produced was identified as the basement of a home in 

, Colorado. When the MTF arrived the house was 
found to be vacant, with all the windows of the dwelling 
shattered. Upon entering, the house was empty with the 
exception of the basement, which had been painted 
white and contained the remaining intact puppet, as well 


as the liquefied remains of the other puppets. A digital 
camera was set-up on a tri-pod, with a cable connecting 
it to a desktop computer on a nearby table. The monitor 
to the computer was shattered, and the actual computer 
was in pieces, with the hard drives removed. Left on the 
table was a note that read simply "Wake her up" over 
and over, written in black ink. Research continues into 
the possible meaning of this particular message.

00:00:01 - [The scene of the broadcast starts 
off quite differently than previous ones, taking 
place in the outdoors. The sun beats down 
upon a wide panning view of a large hole, 
several meters across. Several toy trucks can 
be seen, a large number of which are concrete 
trucks.] 


00:00:05 - Sheriff Buddy: Hello kids! My name 
is Sheriff Buddy and welcome to The Happy 
Place! Today we are going to be talking about 
secrets. 


00:00:55 - [The camera pans in, showing at 
least a dozen puppets dressed in hazmat 
suits, with 8 individual instances of Sheriff 
Buddy, each with a different voice, speaking in 
unison. ] 


00:01:15 - Sheriff Buddy: It is never a good 
idea to keep secrets, especially from adults. 
Secrets are bad. 


00:01:47 - [As the camera continues to pan in, 
seven individual body bags can be seen, and 

several of the hazmat sporting puppet start to 

toss the body bags into the hole.] 


00:02:22 - Sheriff Buddy: Secrets will always 


get discovered, no matter how hard you try to 
hide them kids, so be sure not to lie and keep 
things from others. 


00:02:41 - [Once all of the body bags have 

been thrown into the hole, the concrete trucks 
move into position and begin to pour concrete 
into the hole. The transmission abruptly ends.]

SCP-2161: Blank Space 


Item #: SCP-2161 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2161-1 is to be contained 
in a warehouse (10,000 cubic metres minimum) and its rate of 
increase in volume monitored. Paper products are prohibited in the 
warehouse's vicinity. Electronic scanning and analysis of existing 
pages is to continue. 


SCP-2161-2 is confined to a limited set of Foundation files (including 
this document) on a secure server, with study continuing into its 
nature. Any document containing SCP-2161-2 must not be printed, 
nor attached to a non-secure file. 


Description: SCP-2161-1 is a collection of approximately 85 million 
pages of self-replicating A4 paper, the majority of which are blank. A 
small proportion of pages contain letters, figures or other markings, 
suggesting that SCP-2161-1 originally formed a single text. As of 
07/01/2015, SCP-2161-1 spontaneously generates blank paper at a 
rate of approximately 2 pages per hour, several orders of magnitude 
slower than when first contained. Books or similar paper products 
brought into contact with SCP-2161-1 become subject to the same 
effect, their volume increasing through the generation of blank 
space, with any original text eventually spread across thousands of 
pages. SCP-2161-1 was discovered at the former Adelaide home of 
Dr Harper, Australian physicist and author, after neighbours 
complained of an abandoned house surrounded by large amounts of 
litter. Foundation contacts were alerted when government refuse 
workers reported the anomalous increase in paper volume. 


SCP-2161-2 is a computer virus which increases the amount of 
white space in electronic documents in a manner similar to 


SCP-2161-1. Any file to which an SCP-2161-2-infected document is 
attached will itself become infected, but the infection is not evident in 
underlying code, suggesting an anomalous source. SCP-2161-2 
was detected through the Foundation's scanning of SCP-2161-1 
pages, and the inclusion of a photographic image in this document. 


+ Addendum SCP-2161-A: 


Interim scanning results 


5% complete: Algorithmic recombination of scanned 
pages containing text or other marks suggests that 
SCP-2161-1 was originally technical documentation 
involving complex mathematics. 


10% complete: Scanning now indicates calculations and 
schematics for a faster-than-light interstellar vessel. The 
mechanics of travel are unclear, but textual fragments 
imply that the blank space generated in SCP-2161-1 and 
-2 may be an exhaust by-product of the craft's propulsion 
system. Dr Harper, the presumed author, is to be sought 
for questioning. 


+ Addendum SCP-2161-B: 


Addendum SCP-2161-B: On 07/24/2015, cameras in 
SCP-2161-1's 


storage warehouse detected text appearing on new 
pages generated 


by SCP-2161-1. The text was collected and has been 
compiled

SCP-2162: ... as normal as blueberry pie 


Item #: SCP-2162 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Theta-5 
("The Bigger Boat") is to continue tracking SCP-2162 and advise the 
containment supervisor immediately of any change in heading. Two 
MTF 8-5 patrol craft are to remain 10km ahead of SCP-2162, and 
are to escort any commercial or passenger vessels out of the 
anomaly's path, on the pretext of naval exercises. If, based on its 
heading, SCP-2162 is forecast to make landfall on any inhabited 
island, local residents are to be evacuated from its path and a cover 
story is to be circulated of unseasonal cyclonic activity. Current 
calculations predict late 2021 as the likely date of arrival of 
SCP-2162 in densely populated areas - determination of effective 
containment measures before that date is a priority. 


Description: SCP-2162 is a mobile anomalous construct, which 
consists of a volume of highly concentrated Nitrogen (Nz) gas. 
Testing has shown that the interior of the construct has a pressure 
of approximately 101kPa (similar to atmospheric pressure at sea 
level), but with N2 concentrations significantly in excess of normal 
atmospheric conditions, potentially as high as 100% Nitrogen. 


The construct does not behave in the manner expected of a body of 
gas - for example, it is not affected by surrounding air pressure or 
weather patterns and is not impeded by buildings or other 
structures. Instead, SCP-2162 maintains a constant shape and 
speed, and the atmosphere within the boundaries of the contruct is 
spontaneously replaced with No, returning to its previous 
composition once SCP-2162 has passed. 


Incident SCP-2162-A revealed that SCP-2162 is comprised of three 
shapes, moving in formation: 


produce water vapor and lower the surrounding temperature. 
However, the effect may be considerably diminished, or enhanced, 
by the effects of the sun, wind, local topography, and/or local 
vegetation. 


In any space where SCP-244-1 has changed the environmental 
temperature and humidity to -37°C and a 125% humidity, there is a 
chance of encountering SCP-244-2, directly proportional to the 
amount of time that the area has been fogged over. SCP-244-2 is a 
mobile gaseous entity, visible only as a dense cloud of greyish fog. 
Whether it simply uses SCP-244-1's own fog as camouflage or is 
actually a part of said fog is still undetermined. Thermal imaging 
shows that SCP-244-2 is far colder than its surrounding 
environment. How SCP-244-2 achieves locomotion is not known, 
but testing and observation has made it clear that SCP-244-2 
usually remains motionless unless there is a source of heat nearby. 
SCP-244-2 is attracted to any source of heat energy, and will move 
to envelop such sources. Because of SCP-244-2's own inordinately 
cold internal temperature, any object that comes into direct contact 
with it usually flash-freezes. Biological heat sources (including 
humans) are invariably killed by the flash-freezing effect, and 
mechanical or electronic devices ice over. SCP-244-2 appears to 
grow in size as it "consumes" thermal energy. In a sufficiently large 
beclouded area, there may be multiple instances of SCP-244-2. 


SCP-244-2 will not attempt to consume heat sources with a 
temperature equal or greater than 600°C, and will actively move 
away from such sources if they are brought closer to it. For this 
reason, SCP-244-2 is easily repelled with burning wood or other 
combustive fuel fires. SCP-244-2 has been observed to disperse if 
exposed to great concentrations of heat in a short period of time. 


History: SCP-244-1 was first discovered in the basement of a 
recently emptied Chaos Insurgency-occupied military base, where it 
had completely filled the basement level with ice fog and at least two 
manifestations of SCP-244-2. It was retrieved by Dr. Morris with the 
assistance of Mobile Task Force Beta-62. It is unknown whether the 
Chaos Insurgency had placed SCP-244-1 in the basement as some 
sort of diversionary tactic or if they themselves were looking for it. 


Addendum: Whatever SCP-244-2 is composed of, it is certainly not 


* an arc 16km in length, 2km in width and 750m in height. The 
arc is convex, with the centre bending towards the direction of 
travel of the construct. 


* two wide cylinders 2km in diameter and 750m in height. The 
cylinders are 4km apart, aligned on either side of the mid-point 
of the arc. They follow the arc at a distance of 6km. 


The construct's shape has been verified by atmospheric testing. 
lonised air-glow at the leading edge of the construct, which has 
become visible at night as SCP-2162 has moved away from artificial 
light sources, has provided further evidence of its shape. 


SCP-2162 moves at a constant rate of 0.25km/hr, travelling in a 
fixed direction along a particular longitude or latitude. From 25 June 
2013, SCP-2162 travelled South along longitude 118.25°W from its 
point of origin near Los Angeles, CA. On 24 August 2015, the 
construct reached latitude 8.65°S and changed course, turning 90° 
and travelling West along that latitude.

Green/01 


Post-Incident Interview SCP-2162-A/Green/01 


Interviewed: Agent Green 

Interviewer: Assistant-Director Griffiths, Head 
of Site-15 Disciplinary Committee 

Date: 28 June 2013 


Foreword: Incident SCP-2162-A involved the 
initial discovery of the anomaly, which 
developed in the area West of Los Angeles, 
CA on 25 June 2013. Amnestics were 
dispensed across the affected area, and the 
event attributed to a gas leak from a nearby 
chemical plant. 758 civilian and 19 Foundation 
casualties are believed to have resulted from 
the incident. 


A-D Griffiths: Thank you for your time, Agent 


Green. We're just trying to understand the part 
you played in resolving this incident. 


Agent Green: No problem. Mind if | smoke? 


A-D Griffiths: | guess not. Could you start by 
explaining why you were in Los Angeles when 
the incident occurred. 


Agent Green: Not to be difficult, but if | tell 
you, you'll just have to redact it all in the 
report. Can we say | was on Foundation 
business unrelated to SCP-2162, and leave it 
at that? 


A-D Griffiths: Uh. Yes, | believe so. Right. So 
our communications department requested 
that you leave your assignment, and you drove 
towards Thousand Oaks. What were your first 
impressions? 


Agent Green: Frankly, it was chaos. Pi-11 
was still hours away. There were a few teams 
from Site-15 that had been scrambled, but no- 
one there knew how to deal with an anomaly 
like this. No offence - it's just not your usual 
scene. 


A-D Griffiths: None taken. 


Agent Green: From the initial observation 
point it looked like the goddamn angel of death 
had touched down. Cars had run into ditches, 
through houses and stores. You could see 
bodies had collapsed on the pavement, but no 
obvious injuries - they were just dead. It was 
eerie. There was no sign of what had caused it 
- no sight, no sound, no nothing. Just death. 


A-D Griffiths: And once you arrived at the 


observation point, what did you do? 


Agent Green: | went up to the guy in charge 
to get some instructions. Carter. He was your 
head of security? 


A-D Griffiths: Yes. 


Agent Green: I'm sorry. He gathered 
everyone up, stood in front of us on the top of 
the rise. He told us they had the site cordoned 
off, any civilians still alive had been evacuated. 
Said our job was to ensure no-one else went 
into the area, sit tight and wait for back-up. 
Then he asked for any questions, and ten 
seconds later, he collapsed. Unlucky bastard, 
he hadn't realised the skip was moving. 


A-D Griffiths: And what happened then? 


Agent Green: Well, all hell broke loose. Carter 
was convulsing, a couple of security guards 
went over to help him, and suddenly they 
collapsed as well. The rest of the group started 
yelling and running in every direction - some of 
them fell too. Me and a few of the others 
started backing away from where Carter had 
been. It was pretty bad - we had an idea where 
it had come from, but not what it was, or how 
fast it could move. 


A-D Griffiths: According to your report, you 
and the remainder of the Site-15 team 
returned to your vehicles and left the scene. 


Agent Green: We hauled ass, yes. | ended up 
with one of your crew in my car. A young 
researcher. 


A-D Griffiths: Doctor Zhen. Where did you 


drive to? 


Agent Green: South. South, away from the 
invisible wave of death. And towards the 
twelve thousand citizens of Malibu, who had 
no clue what was coming. We got on comms, 
and decided the vehicles would fan out and try 
to warn as many people as possible, cut the 
roads off, get an orderly evacuation going. Pi-1 
had a bird on the way to help. 


A-D Griffiths: And which part of Malibu did 
you cover?
