SCP-2602, which used to be a library: Exbibliothetic 


Notice: This file possesses cognitohazardous properties. 
While reading this text is not believed to be harmful, 
comprehension and interpretation of the text will be 
negatively affected. Please exercise discretion when 
reading this document. 


Item #: SCP-2602 
Library Class: Former 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2602 has been acquired 
under the cover story that it used to be a library. Large bushes and 
trees have been planted around the property in order to obscure 
SCP-2602. Access is denied to non-personnel. Amnestics have 
been administered to the town in which SCP-2602, a former library, 
is located. 


All known online references to SCP-2602 and the fact that it used to 
be a library have been removed. Filters pertaining to the linguistic 
markers of SCP-2602's effects have been added to Foundation 
web-crawling software in order to flag text that potentially pertains to 
SCP-2602 for review. All known physical documentation related to 
SCP-2602 has been identified and destroyed. 


Foundation documentation pertaining to SCP-2602 is to be edited as 
much as possible for readability by personnel with no familiarity with 
the anomaly. Typically, 40% of all references to the fact that 
SCP-2602 used to be a library can be removed. 


Description: SCP-2602 is a building that, from 1921-06-08 to 
1988-04-29, was a library. SCP-2602 is located in 

England, and developed its anomalous properties in October of 
2004. 


When communicating any information about SCP-2602, subjects are 


compelled to make frequent reference to the fact that SCP-2602 
used to be a library. The exact wording and nature of these 
references are mostly determined by the author and context, but 
always unambiguously communicate this information. Texts referring 
to SCP-2602 can have these references removed to a limited 
degree by subjects who have little knowledge of SCP-2602 outside 
of the fact that it used to be a library. The limited compulsion to allow 
these references to go unedited has hindered attempts at 
developing automated processes to remove these references. 


Any information regarding SCP-2602 is also anomalous. Subjects 
exposed to communications regarding SCP-2602 will identify the 
fact that it used to be a library as the primary causal element behind 
any number of properties of or observations about it. This is 
proportional to the extent that said information contains references 
to the fact that SCP-2602 used to be a library. While subjects will 
develop false beliefs to support these irrational causal linkages, they 
do not generalize and pose no general risk to cognition — for 
example, while several subjects have posited that the effects of 
gravity within SCP-2602 are a result of it having been a library but 
no longer serving that purpose, they do not hold this belief with 
regards to other buildings that used to be libraries. 


Subjects are incapable of communicating, directly or otherwise, any 
information pertaining to SCP-2602's use between its time as a 
library and the development of its anomalous properties. When 
prompted to do so, they will instead insistently and repeatedly refer 
to the fact that SCP-2602 used to be a library. Due to this, and the 
fact that SCP-2602 used to be a library, it has been very difficult to 
determine what, if anything, occurred in SCP-2602 from 1988 to 
2004. 


Addendum 2602-1: Summary of a survey of SCP-2602, which used 
to be a library, conducted by Agents Roderick and Casey on 
December 09, 2004. Unreadable segments have been excised 
entirely. See also: SCP-2602 Photographic Evidence. 


While SCP-2602's layout is generally appropriate for a 
former library, it is inconsistent with obtained blueprints 
from the local government and testimony from past 
patrons. It is thus assumed that SCP-2602 used to be a 


library. Most notably, SCP-2602 contains an extensive 
subterranean component of the kind generally found in 
former libraries. 


SCP-2602 experienced extensive fire damage on the 
same day that it developed anomalous properties. 
Consultation with actuarial tables has shown little 
deviation from what is expected of fire damage to former 
libraries. However, some of the debris exhibited elevated 
levels of Dewey radiation’, preventing access to several 
shrines that were likely used to assist SCP-2602's 
reading groups when it was a library. 


A number of advanced book-sorting machines were 
found, though long-term storage in a former library has 
rendered them inoperable. Restraints used by libraries to 
hold patrons with overdue books were similarly 
damaged, apparently violently, by this storage. 


SCP-2602's hazardous waste pit, whose presence is 
expected in what used to be a library, was cordoned off. 
However, in the process, exbibliothetic fluctuations in the 
waste resulted in Agent Casey suffering several major 
flesh wounds which later proved to be fatal. Notably, 
SCP-2602 used to be a library. 


Conclusions: As evidenced by the fact that SCP-2602 
used to be a library, and was formerly a library, it is 
probable that SCP-2602 used to be a library. It is likely 
that, shortly after it ceased to be a library, SCP-2602 was 
previously a library. This likely served to highlight the fact 
that SCP-2602 used to be a library and obscure the 
SCP-2602 used to be a library.

SCP-2603: Its Maiden Voyage 


Item #: SCP-2603 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2603 is considered an 
active war zone and should be treated as such on a diplomatic and 
political level. Any attempts to enter SCP-2603's subconscious 
should be coordinated with the current Senior Geopolitical Analyst 
attached to this project, and should only be performed by NCI-IV 
certified members of Mobile Task Force Omicron-Rho. 


SCP-2603 is to remain awake from 06:00 to 00:00 local time. 
Outside of this window, SCP-2603 is allowed to sleep under 
surveillance. SCP-2603 is to be housed in an M-Type Humanoid 
Anomaly Containment Cell (HACC) fitted with 4 Sporzewski-grade 
Construct Stability Seals (CSS) with overlapping radii. 


SCP-2603 is to be kept on a daily regime of non-selective 
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI), with the exact dosage 
periodically reviewed for SCP-2603's body weight. Care should be 
taken when introducing other medication to SCP-2603 due to the 
danger of negative interaction between the MAOI and other drugs. 
Physical side-effects of the MAOI applied are to be treated as 
humanely as possible without introducing additional pharmaceutical 
factors. Should testing be necessary, SCP-2603's medication cycle 
may be interrupted temporarily, though this should not be done 
without prior consultation of the Senior Medical Consultant attached 
to this project. 


Should exploration of SCP-2603's subconscious reveal information 
on possible new anomalous activity, a threat level assessment 
should be carried out after debriefing. If escalation is deemed 
necessary, memory mining procedures can be authorized by the 
current Project Lead. On no account are rooms inside SCP-2603's 
dream construct to be entered without prior instruction to do so; 


vertigo, hallucinations, seizures, and symptoms consistent with 
temporal disjunction (somatic, psychological, or both).2 


Addendum 1: Experiment 292-31 


Procedure: Subject 03101 was instructed to flip SCP-292 over, and 
then shoot Subject 03102 to death and flip SCP-292 back over 
before it runs out. 


Results: As Subject 01 reached for SCP-292, both subjects as well 
as other personnel in the area reported feeling déja vu. Subject 01 

exhibited elevated levels of adrenaline, while Subject 02 exhibited 

pronounced apprehension in the presence of Subject 01. 


Addendum 2: Experiment 292-46 


Procedure: Subject 04601 was instructed to flip SCP-292 over, wait 
thirty seconds, and flip SCP-292 back over. When déja vu was 
experienced, Subject 04602 was instructed to do the same thing. 
When déja vu was experienced a second time, Subject 04603 was 
instructed to do the same thing. 


Results: As Subject 01 reached for SCP-292, all subjects 
experienced déja vu as expected. Subject 02 hesitated and was 
instructed to flip SCP-292. While reaching for SCP-292, Subject 02 
fell to his knees, Subject 01 doubled over, and Subject 03 
staggered. Subject 03 was instructed to flip SCP-292, and as he 
reached for SCP-292, all subjects appeared to exhibit temporal 
shock for ten to fifteen seconds before falling unconscious. 
Temporal symptoms subsided within five to seven days, while visual 
and audial hallucinations persisted for several months more. 


Addendum 3: Incident 292-04 


While preparing for Experiment 292-75, Dr. suddenly clutched 
SCP-292 to his chest and reported he had just experienced déja vu. 
Dr. said that he felt like he was about to drop SCP-292, and if 
he did, “something bad” would happen. Dr. has hypothesized 


observation has been deemed to be sufficient at this point in time. 
Update 03/27/2015: 


The bridge of the vessel representing SCP-2603's subconscious is 
to be permanently shielded from entry by foreign entities as detailed 
in security protocol 2603-Pre/Onr-Atlantik:v1.24.1 


Description: SCP-2603 is an adult male of Finno-Ugric descent, 
formerly Kullo Toome (* 07-07-1948), a known GRU Division "P" 
operative from 1968 to 1989. SCP-2603 presents with an involuntary 
and unconscious Type-D(XI!)2 Reality Manipulation Ability1 triggered 
by REM sleep and an accompanying (lucid) dream state. 
Specifically, SCP-2603 unconsciously transmutes any solid 
inorganic material around its body into brine consistent in 
composition with that found in the Kara Sea, radiating out ata 
steady rate of 1 m%/hr. As of time of writing, no limit to this property 
has been observed. During the conversion, SCP-2603 will float on 
transmuted matter. Reversal of the process is instantaneous when 
SCP-2603 is woken from sleep. Note that personnel will become 
embedded in solid material if fully or partially submerged in brine 
before reversal. Brine displaced by personnel within its area of effect 
during reversal appears to disappear, as no warping of materials or 
surfaces has been noted. 


SCP-2603 first presented with these anomalous properties in 2013, 
shortly after having attended a seminar entitled "The Power of the 
Subconscious Mind: A Journey into Self". This seminar was 
organized by The Dawn of Kuran, currently classified as a spiritual 
non-profit organization without ties to major religious factions. No 
anomalous connections were found during an investigation into the 
organization's background. Though SCP-2603's anomalous 
properties manifested abruptly, it likely had a latent ability since 
birth.3 Though not strictly relevant to this project, SCP-2603's 
experiences as a GRU Division "P" operative appear to shape its 
dreams to a large extent. 


The Foundation currently considers SCP-2603 a contested 
sovereign body, with unknown parties in a dispute concerning the 
ownership of SCP-2603's noncognitive space. No known parties 
currently acknowledge involvement. However, though no official 


troop movement or military presence can be discerned, 
unsanctioned incursions occur frequently. It is believed the 
unsanctioned activity in SCP-2603's noncognitive space triggers its 
anomalous properties, affecting the current reality construct as 
described above. 


SCP-2603 reports experiencing an identical dream every night, in 
which a ship‘ drifts on a large unidentified body of water without 
spotting or reaching land. Unlike most vessels, its interior space is 
taken up by a variable number of identical decks filled with rooms, 
these spaces often not conforming to the ship's external dimensions. 
Rooms frequently contain unrelated dream constructs that may or 
may not segue further into SCP-2603's subconscious or memories 
once entered, this is currently unclear and considered out of scope 
for this project. Although structures can be seen above deck, all 
entrances lead to the ship's bridge: a small featureless room 
containing only a ship's wheel. A sepia color scheme overlays all 
materials within the main dream construct. The reason for this is 
unclear. 


SCP-2603's constructed dream environment only hosts external 
entities; there appear to be no entity constructs proprietary to 
SCP-2603's subconscious, neither in the water nor on the ship. Of 
note is the fact that SCP-2603 itself does not manifest inside its 
dream state either. 


MTF Omicron-Rho runs inside SCP-2603's subconsciousness have 
revealed approximately attempts to date by unknown entities to 
gain control of SCP-2603's subconscious, most often by attempting 
to reach the bridge. MTF Omicron-Rho operatives have on several 
occasions subdued and detained entities inside SCP-2603's 
subconsciousness, but these subjects could or would not provide a 
reason for their entry and retreated as soon as was possible. It was 
not possible to extract these entities for debriefing. 


Addendum 2603-A-01: Management Summary of MTF Omicron- 
Rho debriefing d.d. 03/16/2015 


Interviewing: Senior Researcher H.M.W. Allenby (HA) 


Interviewed: Johann Michaél Kastner, MTF Omicron- 


Rho operative (JK) 


Subject: Debriefing after incident Alpnha-2603-20150315 
during a routine patrol 


[Debriefing commenced at 14:00:53 on 03/16/2015] 
HA: Please describe to me the events as they occurred. 


JK: Well, Wilson and | were patrolling Toome's 
subconscious, trying to keep entities from getting to the 
bridge, when we heard a disturbance maybe two, three 
decks below us. 


HA: Go on. 


JK: Wilson stayed behind, | went down to investigate. | 
think it was two decks, yes. Anyway, | started checking 
the cabins. | couldn't cross the threshold though, since 
that would seg me off into another sequence, but | could 
look in. Found what looked like a beach at night in one, 
complete with a surf and the burnt-out hull of | think a 
Russian destroyer, and in another | saw several dead 
sailors floating in knee-high water...you see some pretty 
strange things. 


HA: I'm aware of the nature of dream constructs, yes. 
Please go on.
