When the door of SCP-2713 is used to access the interior of 
SCP-2713, individuals enter a "holding room" where an SCP-2713-1 
instance will check their identification, vaccination history, and 
criminal history. If individuals attempting to enter SCP-2713 do not 
posses authentic documents pertaining to these details, they will be 
refused entry. 


All attempts to use forged documents or documents belonging to 
others have resulted in refused entry. Additionally, entry will be 
refused if the individual's record indicates involvement in any violent 
criminal incidents or a lack of regular flu vaccination. 


Upon initial discovery SCP-2713-1 instances would grant entry to 
any individuals with valid identification proving their age as over 17. 
However, after various incidents the amount of identification 
required for entry increased, with the highest increase in restrictions 
occurring after incident 2713-7. 


SCP-2713-2 instances act as exotic dancers inside SCP-2713 and 
self identify with a variety of names which match common 
designations for stellar objects or their discoverers. These have 
included "Atria", "Mira", "Bellatrix", and "The Matveenko Sisters" 
(see Incident Report 2713-7). 


Through interviews with SCP-2713-1 and -2 instances, it has been 
determined that these instances believe they represent actual 
astronomical objects. Until the veracity of these claims are 
investigated, physical testing involving either SCP-2713-1 or -2 
instances is temporarily suspended. 


Current knowledge of other ingress points is limited, with the GOC's 
entry point in Norway being the only other currently known. It is 
suspected that other groups of interest may also be in possession of 
ingress points. However, attempts to apprehend individuals 
associated with other GOls have found little success due to the 
interference of SCP-2713-1 instances. 


Incident Report 2713-7 


During a routine test involving Foundation 
personnel, three armed individuals gained 


access to the premises who were unrelated to 
the test. It was later determined that these 
individuals gained access through a secondary 
entry point in northern Norway. These 
individuals claimed to be members of the 
Global Occult Coalition, and despite protests 
from Foundation staff and several instances 
inside SCP-2713, attempted to restrain and 
remove one of the SCP-2713-2 instances. 


"The Matveenko Sisters", who were 
performing during this incident, attempted to 
stop the GOC agents, but one of the two was 
seriously wounded. To prevent further 
escalation, Foundation Agents fired at and 
neutralized the three GOC agents. 


After this incident, a previously known 
coincident radio source to the Crab Pulsar, 
which had been previously discovered by L. I. 
Matveenko deviated significantly from its 
expected frequency for several weeks before 
returning to normal. Further investigation into 
links between SCP-2713 instances and 
astronomical objects is ongoing, as is the 
unusual nature of the observed deviation given 
the distance between the Earth and the 
Matveenko radio source. 


SCP-2713-2 Interview Logs 


Following incident 2713-7, testing involving 
non D-Class personnel was temporarily 
suspended. A D-class individual (D-11218) 
was outfitted with a radio communication 
device and sent to investigate the aftermath of 
incident 2713-7. Upon being granted 
admission, D-11218 began to explore the 
premises. 


Following several minutes of exploration, an 


Dr. Silas: All right, how do those gloves feel? 
D-238746: Ok. Comfortable, | guess. 

Dr. Silas: Good. Now, focus on your partner. (Dr. Silas 
rolls the pinwheel across D-238746's gloved hand) 
D-892201: What the 7? | felt that! 

Dr. Silas: Interesting. 

<End Log> 


Test 2A 
Test Subjects: D-238746, D-892201 
Stimulus: hypodermic needle 


Dr. Silas: Ok, now focus on your partner. (inserts 
hypodermic needle) Ow! | said focus on your partner! 
D-892201: Why, Doctor? Did you feel a little poke? 
Dr. Silas: That's irrelevant, if you don't- (sounds of a 
scuffle) Guards! Restrain this subject! 

(Agent Tyler enters the room) 

Dr. Silas: Quick, he has the needle in his- |! | 
You sonofa_ —! Shoot him! 

(gunshots) 

<End Log> 


Instructions for the following test were issued through a speaker 
using voice modulation, and D-class personnel employed were not 
exposed to any Foundation personnel prior to the test. 


Test 4D 
Test Subjects: [DATA EXPUNGED] 
Stimulus: Concentrated sulfuric acid basin 


Dr. Silas: See those people on the other side of the 
glass? Focus on them while your hands are placed in the 
basin. 

(Subject's hands lowered by robotic manipulator. After a 
brief pause subject D-845224 in adjacent room begins to 
scream and his hands show signs of acid burns.) 

D- : My god, what's happening to him? Why don't the 
others help? 

(Original subject's screams subside, subject D-986720 
begins screaming) 


SCP-2713-2 instance, who self identified as 
"Malina" invited D-11218 to a back room. 
D-11218 refused orders from the supervising 
researcher, Doctor Foster, and complied with 
the request from the SCP-2713-2 instance. 
Afterwards, the SCP-2713-2 instance 
requested to speak directly to Doctor Foster 
(identifying him by name) which was granted. 
The following is a log of that conversation. 


Dr. Foster: Hello. My name is Doctor Foster. 
You wished to speak with me? 


SCP-2713-2: You're so formal! You can hear 
me okay when | press this button, right? 


Dr. Foster: Yes. 


SCP-2713-2: Good. | was wondering how long 
it would take y'all to find this place. 


At this point the SCP-2713-2 instance begins 
to cough. It should be noted that SCP-2713-2's 
breathing difficulties continue throughout the 
conversation. 


Dr. Foster: Who are you? 


SCP-2713-2: I've always liked it when you 
fellas call me Malina. 


Dr. Foster: What is the purpose of this place? 


SCP-2713-2: Why, ain't you just all business! | 
just wanted to talk to you. 


Dr. Foster: I'm fairly certain | don't know you 
at all. 


SCP-2713-2: Everything doesn't revolve 
around you, sugar. | meant your Foundation. 


Dr. Foster: Then what do you need from the 
Foundation? 


SCP-2713-2: Honey, it's less about my needs 
and more about you. 


Dr. Foster: | don't understand. 


SCP-2713-2 begins to cough for several 
minutes before finally catching her breath. 


SCP-2713-2: I'm sorry. It takes a lot out of me 
to talk to y'all. 


Dr. Foster: How can we help you? 


SCP-2713-2: | ain't well. And | think y'all could 
maybe fix that if you wanted. 


Dr. Foster: Is your illness related to the 
coughing | hear? 


SCP-2713-2: Oh, it's coming across as 
coughing? That's a little bit funny. Yeah. That's 
a problem. But it's a mite worse than just a 
cough. 


Dr. Foster: What is wrong with you then? 


The SCP-2713-2 instance began to cough 
uncontrollably and did not answer. D-11218 
reported that she had quickly left the room 
they occupied. Following extensive exploration 
of the remainder of SCP-2713 over the next 
several hours, D-11218 exited SCP-2713. At 
no point was he able to locate the SCP-2713-2 
instance he had previously interacted with. 


| was reviewing this object's procedures when 
| noticed the names. Malina isn't just another 
star. "Malina" is an Inuit goddess who 
represents our own Sun. Despite the 


containment procedures passing muster for 
Our current understanding of this object, I'm 
passing this up the chain of command for 
further review. ~ Dr. Cimmerian, 
Site-88's Ethics Committee Liaison

SCP-2714: Billions of Blue Blistering 


Item #: SCP-2714 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2714 is to be kept ina 
low-value containment safe at Site-88. On no account are pages 
20 and 21 to be opened outside of occasional approved testing. 
Pages 57 and 58 are to be opened and the contents recorded daily. 
A standard-issue containment bookmark has been slotted into these 
pages to avoid opening pages 20 and 21 during the procedure. All 
documents related to SCP-2714 are to be stored in low-level object 
supplement folders next to the safe for researcher reference. 


All SCP-2714-1 instances are to be contained in biological 
containment cells at Site 88. Instances may be divided up by -A, -B, 
and -C within the cells for convenience of researchers, as there is no 
distinction between them outside of appearance. The air in 
SCP-2714-1 containment cells are to contain 5% microscopic 
biological matter, distributed by air vent, for feeding purposes. 


Pages 20 and 21, if ever opened for approved testing purposes, are 
only to be opened in SCP-2714-1 biological containment chambers. 


Description: SCP-2714 is a copy of the 1968 graphic novel The 
Aaventures of Tintin: Flight 714 by Belgian artist Georges Remi 
(known by his pen name Hergé), translated from French into English 
by Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper and Michael Turner and published by 
Methuen Children's Books. SCP-2714 shows signs of its age, with 
some minor damage, but is in mostly good condition. 


SCP-2714 has two pages that display separate anomalous 
properties. Opening the page 20-21 spread will cause the 
appearance of three sessile organisms resembling barnacles, 
designated SCP-2714-1, in a varying distance around SCP-2714-1. 
This will occur every ten minutes until the book is closed. Each 


SCP-2714-1 instance is, on average, 1 meter tall and 10 meters in 
circumference at the base, though size does vary (see document 
2714-35FN for detailed statistical analysis). There appear to be 
three distinct types of SCP-2714-1, identified as SCP-2714-1A, 
SCP-2714-1B, and SCP-2714-1C; all instances of each type of 
SCP-2714-1 are genetically identical to each other. 


The shell plates of each SCP-2714-1 organism are composed of live 
bone; patches of hair-growing tissue are also present, as are 
patches of of what appears to be fabric. The bone has been 
genetically analyzed and identified as belonging to a domestic dog 
(Canis familiaris) — specifically, the Wire Haired Terrier breed; 
notably, all bone has been sourced to the same individual. Three 
colors of hair (white, orange, and black) are present, as are three 
colors of fabric (green, light blue, and dark blue). The white hair is 
present on all SCP-2714-1 organisms; genetic analysis of the white- 
hair follicles indicates that they are canine, and from the same 
individual as the bone in the shell plates. 


Samples taken from the cirri and internal systems of SCP-2714-1 -A, 
-B and -C instances indicate they are composed of mostly human 
DNA, as opposed to the canine carapaces. SCP-2714-1 instances 
feed on biological matter in the surrounding air filtered using their 
cirri, and lack reproductive organs. Each instance secretes a small 
amount of corrosive liquid, found to be 68% ethanol and described 
as having a woody odor, similar to whisky. Part of the musculature 
contains complex human brain tissue. No electrical activity has been 
recorded originating from this tissue, and it is most likely vestigial, 
with no current purpose within the organism. SCP-2714-1 instances 
have a small, active, primary brain: a clump of neurons that control 
autonomous bodily functions. 


The second anomaly appears upon opening page 58. All text in 
dialogue bubbles will be replaced with a long, incoherent dialogue 
by an unknown entity or group of entities. This text changes upon 
reopening the page. Common themes amongst these texts include 
purgatory, the nature of reality, and the death of artistic thought. 
References to other Tintin stories are common, though seemingly 
disconnected from the text's main ideas. 


Sample text observed on //19 . Character actions 


are recorded for reference. 


Captain Haddock: And | saw my comrades make that 
great and terrible crossing from the boundaries of known 
art into the land of alph-art!, and into the unknown. 


(Captain Haddock is hypnotized by Kanrokitoff.) 


Captain Haddock: Yes, but would that be so? We know 
not what exists for the wicked. 


Kanrokitoff: If the world were like that of an oyster, then 
we are the slime surrounding the pearl, forming the 
pearl. We create the comic-men stumbling through the 
woods to some glory we know not what. Picaros.2 Ten 
thousand thundering typhoons. 


(Kanrokitoff orders the other characters to climb a ladder 
of the spacecraft. He then does so himself. The volcano 
then explodes.) 


Kanrokitoff: They are the ideal. We hold them past their 
racist minds and the formless chaos of those old 
forgotten europeans who destroyed the world. Have you 
seen the meat made of ink? The blood of paper? The 
world of doll eyes* and dashing kings. 


Lazlo Carreidas: This is transient. All of it. 1am 
formless, writhing through a great void, waiting to be 
made flesh. This is meaningless. There is only the word. 
In the beginning there was the word. 


Kanrokitoff: And the word was with God. 


Skut: That is true. One cannot dispute that. But what of 
the pictures? What of those same terrible concepts. They 
never receive the news. 


(Kanrokitoff spots the rubber dinghy where the villains 
are sailing) 


Kanrokitoff: | am Castafiore, the Milanese Nightingale,° 


and | have been shown an intolerable force. For 
someone ripped my soul from my ink with a bottle of 
whisky and tore me apart, according to the way the 
ancientmost priests of our faith decreed. What nonsense! 
What did it make of me? | am still waiting. 


Allan: Art is dead. Comedy is dead. Adventure is dead. 
Racism is dead.§ 


(Rastapopalous fires at the spacecraft.) 


Rastapopalous: Should we embrace the hell? The 
riotous violence of the others? | doubt | would survive 
even that crossing. 


Addendum-1: SCP-2714 was recovered from the belongings of 
Pierre Escoffier, a Montreal illustrator and poet who had committed 
suicide three weeks prior. Escoffier's belongings had also contained 
a large amount of Tintin memorabilia, and acquaintances had 
testified to local police that he was a collector and fanatic who had 
an inordinate obsession with Georges Remi. Escoffier was reported 
to have become extremely erratic prior to his suicide, talking 
frequently of "old gods, made in Haddock's image, failed." Of note is 
the fact that Escoffier's father Guillaume Escoffier, a wealthy 
businessman, has had several ties to noted Neo-Sarkic Cults 
throughout Canada and the northern United States. 


SCP-2714's anomalous properties first came to the Foundation’s 
attention when it had been left open to page 21 while local police 
were emptying Escoffier’s apartment. The next morning, the 
apartment had been completely colonized by SCP-2714-1 instances 
of varying sizes. Foundation agents within Quebec police forces 
were alerted, and contained the anomaly. All SCP-2714-1 
specimens were removed to Foundation custody. SCP-2714-1 
instances would most likely have exponentially colonized beyond the 
apartment had Page 20 not been closed.

The latest piece got some recognition at the 
gallery. | am glad, for the money is running low 
and the rent is due. Bought a lovely Thomson 
Twin maquette, found it in an antique shop not 
terribly far from my apartment.
