Duane: | don't think they're actually eating the 
food. The maintenance people have been 
carrying out more trash than they were when 
we were scouting. 


Betty: So? They're still buying it. Does it 
matter if they eat it? 


Duane: | didn't get into the restaurant 
business in this universe to not be allowed to 
actually serve my food to the public, 
[unintelligible]. \t's probably poison or 
something, isn't it. Or Miranda messed up the 
speed of light again. | can't even tell. 


Betty: So why don't you go talk to them and 
convince them to let us work? They know we 
won't break containment or whatever it is, 
right? We can talk and act just like people. 


Duane: And how do | convince them that it 


won't end up like it did in ? Or ? | 
swear, a tiny fraction of the ketchup is 
accidentally and you can't be trusted 


with anything. 


Betty: Asking some human scientists for help 
is out of the question? 


Duane: You know they wouldn't understand 
anything about how we make this happen. 
They're still primitive. 


Betty: According to your standards, maybe. 
But if you're going to be difficult, then 
whatever. Honestly, your obsession with 
‘restaurants’ and 'zoos' is kind of creepy, anda 
little racist. Do humans count as a race? | don't 
even know, honestly. I've been breathing 
oxygen for too long. 


Duane: Well, you're perfectly free to leave, if it 
bothers you that much. Except you can't, 
because you lost your travel license in 
[unintelligible]. So you're stuck with me and 
this creepy, racist restaurant until Miranda can 
nail down their physics good enough for us to 
not kill anyone. 


Betty: So now you care about killing humans? 


Duane: /Unintelligible]. Just shut up. We're 
leaving. 


SCP-1141-1 demanifested seven minutes later. Further 
attempts to restrict the public's access to SCP-1141-1 
from that point on have resulted in SCP-1141-1 
disappearing. Containment protocols have been altered 
appropriately, and SCP-1141-1 has been upgraded to 
Keter class. 


Addendum: Until we fully understand and can predict the properties 
of SCP-1141, the possibility remains that it could trigger a 
catastrophic event, such as an antimatter explosion or vacuum 
metastability event, with no forewarning. | formally recommend fast- 
tracking research that could be useful in producing the means 
necessary to neutralize SCP-1141.- Dr. Eichmann.

SCP-1142: A Cry for Help 


Item #: SCP-1142 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1142 is to be contained in 
a standard non-humanoid holding cell at Site-12. An automated 
recording system is to monitor SCP-1142 at all times. Two Level 2 
members of technical staff are to inspect any recordings made ona 
daily basis and, in case of a transmission having been picked up, 
are to provide this transmission to the current translation operative 
for conversion from its original German into English. A full report is 
then to be submitted to the current Level 4 project lead as per the 
protocols for interreality relations. The battery SCP-1142 carries is to 
be checked on the first of every month for signs of deterioration. 
SCP-1142's propulsion systems have been disabled to simplify 
containment. 


Description: SCP-1142 is a Goliath tracked mine (original 
designation Leichter Ladungstrager Goliath (Sd.Kfz. 303b)) as used 
by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War. 
SCP-1142 shows no signs of aging and although originally designed 
to carry an explosive charge, contains a heavily modified Kw.E.a 
Wehrmacht radio receiver within its housing. The modified 
components are of a design and complexity inconsistent with the 
level of German technology during the middle of the twentieth 
century. SCP-1142 relies on a gasoline engine for propulsion and 
carries an early model thermal battery for the operation of the 
receiver. 


At irregular intervals, transmissions in German have been recorded 
from SCP-1142. In all cases, contact has been made by an 
individual referring to himself as Brigadefthrer (designated 
SCP-1142-1). Historical research has verified his existence, though 
records show him to have been killed during Allied military action at 
on / /19 . Analysis of transmissions recorded have yielded 


several critical points of divergence from our timeline. These include: 


¢ Several individuals not currently known to have held offices 
within the Wehrmacht occupying key positions within that 
body 


Large-scale deaths among German civilians from an unknown 
pathogen with symptoms resembling acute necrotizing fasciitis 


¢ Asinkhole with a diameter of approximately sixteen kilometers 
appearing in the Lublin province of Poland in late 19 


Reports of mass destruction of German settlements by 
unknown forces 


* Allied powers isolating the European continent, with troop 
action being focused on containment of [REDACTED] 


* Development of reality gating technology in 19 


In addition, SCP-1142-1 claims to be broadcasting from ; 
Austria in the year 19 . In light of this and the aforementioned 
divergences, transmissions received through SCP-1142 have been 
deemed to originate from an alternate reality iteration designated 
Dm-AX/15487-A. Additional classification as intertemporal is 
pending. Recorded transmissions from SCP-1142 indicate Dm- 
AX/15487-A is experiencing or has experienced a ZK-Class Reality 
Failure scenario. 


At this time, communications are restricted to receiving and 
recording the signal broadcast by SCP-1142-1 from Dm-AX/15487- 
A; attempts to initiate contact with or send a signal to Dm-AX/15487- 
A have proven ineffectual. Following the events of Foundation 
communication with SCP-1322-A, further research into initiating 
contact with SCP-1142-1 or responding to its transmissions has 
been suspended. 


Addendum 1142-A-01: Recovery and preliminary containment 
notes 


SCP-1142 was discovered in a barn on the outskirts of Furstenzell, 
Germany on / /20 . German authorities, alerted by the owner 


found SCP-1142 idling and, after recognizing its original purpose, 
brought in the Kampfmittelraumdienst (KRD) to defuse it. A covert 
contact within that service alerted local Foundation agents when she 
found SCP-1142 showed no signs of age and did in fact not contain 
an explosive charge. A recovery team then managed to extract it 
from the German authorities and transported it to Site-12.

SCP-1144: Orion Scales 


Item #: SCP-1144 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1144 currently resides in 
the fifth storage basement of the Low-Priority Electronic Equipment 
and Instruments Vault, Row 32C, within a steel foot-locker labelled 
'SCP-1144'. Both SCP-1144 and SCP-1144-1 require cleaning once 
a week, using disinfectant towels. Do not use water to clean either 
SCP-1144 or SCP-1144-1. Do not press any of the buttons in the 
process of cleaning SCP-1144. The foot-locker itself does not 
require maintenance. 


Description: SCP-1144 resembles an Orion HR-120 Analytical 
Balance, a common brand of precise weighing scales. Like the 
HR-120, SCP-1144 is a box-like structure, measuring 21.3cm x 
32.0cm x 30.2cm, consisting of a base, which presumably houses 
the electronic components of the device, and a transparent cage. 
The base itself comprises an LCD display, as well as several 
buttons for adjusting the scales. [Note: These buttons appear to 
have no effect on the functioning of SCP-1144, or the results it 
provides. ] 


SCP-1144 is permanently active; the display will show no signs of 
being on until an object is placed upon the scales, at which point, 
the display will activate, providing a reading for the observer. 


It should be noted that the reading SCP-1144 provides is not a 
measurement of the object’s mass; repeated testing seems to 
suggest that both mass and weight are entirely irrelevant. Ongoing 
testing has yielded no indication of what exact objective quantity 
SCP-1144 is able to measure, although tenuous patterns have been 
established. For example, two similar objects will tend to produce 
similar readings. Under ‘normal’ conditions, SCP-1144 provides its 
data to 3 decimal places. 


During initial testing, each object was ‘weighed’ three times, and 
each time similar readings were produced. This was taken to be 
evidence that SCP-1144 is in fact weighing a particular quantity, 
which varies in magnitude amongst a given set of objects. The 
source of the fluctuations are still unknown.

Testing II 


Experimental data log, involving Dr and Senior 
Researcher 


It was postulated by Senior Researcher that the 
transparent cage could be removed. With approval from 
Dr , the cage was disassembled with relative ease, 
and the components were placed in a large brown 
envelope, to be labeled SCP-1144-1. SCP-1144-1 does 
not appear to have any extraordinary properties. 
However, it remains to undergo further investigation. 


With SCP-1144-1 removed, SCP-1144 continued to 
function as before, albeit without the constraint of the 
shielding, allowing much larger objects to be measured.

SCP-1145: Nagasaki Teddy 


Item #: SCP-1145 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1145 is to be contained in 
a 2m x 2m x 2m Borosilicate glass enclosure at least 15cm thick. 
This enclosure is to be placed in a containment chamber at least 
50m x 50m x 29m and monitored for any persons coming within 5m 
of the chamber. Within this chamber, 10m outside of the object's 
enclosure, should be two standard human containment cells with 
basic necessities. (Labeled Containment Chamber 1145-2 and 
1145-3, respectively) One Class-D Personnel must occupy each cell 
at all times for the eventuality that SCP-1145 will enter its active 
state.
