Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-3342 are 
to be contained at Site-103 in a greenhouse for cultivation and 
study. The greenhouse measures 10 m x 25mx3mandis 
reserved for the cultivation and study of SCP-3342 only. Potato 
crops from Blackfoot, Idaho are to undergo monthly assessment by 
Foundation personnel, under the assumed identity of state agents 
(i.e. FDA) or university researchers. Any potato crops showing signs 
of black flowers shall be seized and contained by MTF Theta-4 
("Gardeners"). All instances of SCP-3342 are to be relocated to 
Site-103 for containment. In the event of a containment breach, 
Class B Amnestics will be administered to all witnesses, and all 
samples of SCP-3342 should be collected by MTF Theta-4 for 
transport to Site-103. 


Description: SCP-3342 is a potato plant grown from the perennial 
nightshade Solanum tuberosum, which only manifests in the vicinity 
of Blackfoot, Idaho’. Preparing2 the potatoes for consumption is 
when the anomalous properties of SCP-3342 become apparent. All 
prepared instances of SCP-3342, regardless of the method of 
preparation, alter their physical appearance, function and 
composition into that of human organs. 


SCP-3342 grows approximately 60 cm high, with the leaves dying 
back after flowering, fruiting and tuber formation. Unlike other 
varieties of Solanum tuberosum, which bear flowers of multiple 
colors, SCP-3342 exclusively bears black flowers with red stamen. 


All known instances of SCP-3342 have manifested after being 
grown from seed potatoes of other cultivars. No known "original" 


seed potato or cultivar of SCP-3342 has been discovered as of yet; 
it seemingly manifests at random. SCP-3342 may be, however, 
propagated by vegetative cuttings (cloning) of itself. 


The first known instance of SCP-3342 was referred to the 
Foundation by Professor of the University of Idaho College of 
Agricultural and Life Sciences.

Experiment 3342-1 
Date: 05/25/18 
Subject: One large SCP-3342 tuber 


Method of Preparation: Baked 


Results: A human skull and lower jawbone. 
Researcher's note: Even though the potato was smaller 
than a human skull, it was the size of a normal adult 
human skull upon it's finishing. 


Experiment 3342-2 
Date: 05/27/18 
Subject: 10 large SCP-3342 tubers 


Method of Preparation: French Fried 


Results: Human finger bones, including the metacarpal, 
proximal phalanges, intermediate phalanges, and distal 
phalanges. 


Experiment 3342-3 
Date: 05/29/18 
Subject: 5 medium SCP-3342 tubers 


Method of Preparation: Mashed 


Results: While still in the pot, the potatoes appeared as 


a mass of tangled entrails. The resultant mashed 
potatoes took on the appearance of a human liver upon 
plating. Dissection of the liver showed it to be a normal 
and healthy liver, free of defect. 


Experiment 3342-4 
Date: 06/01/18 
Subject: 10 medium "new" SCP-3342 tubers 


Method of Preparation: Boiled 


Results: Kidneys. Dissection of these kidneys showed 
them to be normal and healthy. Researcher's note: Two 
things- can we choose which organ we want to produce, 
and would these organs be viable to transplant into 
human subjects? Imagine the possibilities of a world 
wherein no donor list was needed. 


Experiment 3342-5 

Date: 06/04/18 

Subject: 1 large SCP-3342 tuber, carved into the shape 
of a human heart. 


Method of Preparation: Baked 


Results: One human heart. Dissection reveals it is 
healthy and in the opinion of Dr. McClendon, appears to 
be freshly removed from a person in perfect health. 


Experiment 3342-6 

Date: 06/06/18 

Subject: 5 large SCP-3342 tubers, each carved into the 
shape of a different organ- one heart, one left lung, one 
pancreas, one eyeball, one section of small intestine. 


Method of Preparation: Baked 


Results: Each potato became the organ it was carved 
into the shape of. Dr. Connors, Dr. McClendon, Dr. 
Hardin, and Dr. Prime oversaw and assisted the 
dissection of each organ. All were observed to be an 


excellent specimen of each respective organ. 
Furthermore, it is the opinion of medical staff that, if 
handled properly, each organ appeared to be suitably 
viable for transplant.

Title of Project: Viability of human organ transplants 
of SCP-3342 


Background 


As of 12/28/18, 214,823 people in the United States 
alone currently need a lifesaving organ transplant (total 
waiting list candidates). Of those, 74,898 people are 
active waiting list candidates. 11,491 transplants have 
been successfully performed this year, from a total of 
5,536 organ donors. The vast majority of these organ 
donors are deceased. Even a casual examination of 
these numbers reveals a staggering shortage of viable 
organs available for transplant. 


Furthermore, even if kept chilled in preservation solution, 
donated organs can only remain viable for 
transplantation for a short time, although it is best if they 
are transplanted as quickly as possible after the donation 
surgery. Typical storage times are 30 hours or less for a 
kidney, less than 12 hours for a pancreas or liver, and 
less than 6 hours for a heart or lungs. These times vary 
because of the relative speed at which deterioration 
begins in the organs' tissues. 


Our experimentation with SCP-3342 has shown that, 
with adequate preparation, we can create human organs 
that project staff unanimously agree would be viable for 


transplant. The organs created are blood-type neutral, 
removing the burden of finding a matching donor for 
transplant centers around the world. Furthermore, these 
organs would able be given to a waiting list candidate 
within minutes of creation, with minimal equipment 
necessary. 


Experimental Procedures 


We would like to assess the viability of using prepared 
organs created from SCP-3342 as a source of transplant 
organs for patients suffering from terminal conditions 
which may be alleviated via organ transplant. 


Resources 


| will be working directly with my Site Director, Dr. ‘ 
and Doctors McClendon, Prime, and Hardin will be 
joining the research team indefinitely to complete this 
project. We will utilize D-Class personnel that have been 
independently diagnosed with medical conditions 
requiring organ transplantation as a treatment method. 


Final Presentation 
The final format of my independent study project will be a 
written report. It will 
include my original objectives and a presentation of my 


findings.

Control requests the Subject collect the shoe and a sample of the 
substance for analysis. Subject does so, although complains 
continuously about the smell and expresses wishes to exit SCP-432. 
Her requests are denied and Control orders the Subject to continue 
onwards. 


Subject continues down the corridor at a much decreased walking 
speed, and is becoming agitated. Camera view changes repeatedly 
as Subject begins looking over her shoulder at erratic intervals. 
Video and audio feed are beginning to become severe and Control 
asks Subject to halt while they confer with Dr 


Dr decides to recall the subject, who is now becoming extremely 
panicked, complaining of hearing footsteps behind the wall to her 
right. Control boosts audio but interference prevents confirmation of 
Subject observations. Dr —_ confirms the expedition is over and 
Control recalls the subject, who begins moving back towards the exit 
at increasing speed. 


Subject's egress from SCP-482 is unremarkable except for Subject's 
increasing speed as she nears the exit. Once out of SCP-432 the 
door is closed and locked and Subject sent for debrief.

Post-Operative Report - 03/13/19 


Post-Operative Report: Patient identified as 
D-5150, a 36-year old caucasian male with 
diagnosed cardiomyopathy. Chosen for Project 
Tinman 2/24/19. Patient advised of procedure 
and the status to the clinical trial involving lab- 
grown heart, but not advised of the true nature 
of SCP-3342. 


Organ procurement and preservation was 
achieved by [DATA REDACTED]. 
Transplantation was performed orthotopically 
by Dr. McClendon and Dr. Hardin, using the 
biatrial technique. Weaning from CPB was 
done under monitoring of right and left atrial 
pressure. 


Immunosuppressive protocol- During a stay in 
the intensive care unit, the recipient received 4 
x 250 mg/day intravenous methylprednisolone 
for 3 days. Oral steroid dosage was tapered 
gradually within 2-3 weeks. Cyclosporine A 
was continued intravenously, and then orally 
with the dosage depending on its level in 
blood, measured directly after transplantation 
and twice a day for the following course. Long- 
term immunosuppressive therapy consisted of 
cyclosporine A (6 mg/kg/day) and azathioprine 
(2 mg/kg/day).

Post-Mortem Examination - 02/21/24 


EXTERNAL EXAMINATION: The autopsy is 
begun at 1:30 P.M. on May 02/21/2024. The 
body is presented in a black body bag. The 
subject is wearing a white sleeveless shirt and 


navy blue sweatpants. 


The body is that of a normally developed white 
male measuring 183 cm and weighing 102 kg, 
and appearing generally consistent with the 
stated age of 41 years. The body is cold and 
unembalmed. Lividity is fixed in the distal 
portions of the limbs. 


Discovered sprouted from all visible orifices of 
the body, and also from the skin itself, are a 
number of plant-like protrusions, averaging 

26 cm in length, that terminate in black, five- 
petaled flowers with red stamen. The origin of 
these is unknown. 


Upon removal of the victim’s clothing, it was 
found that these plant-like protrusions have 
sprouted from nearly all hair follicles and 
orifices of the body. 


56 bullet wounds are found on the the body. 
They were hard to identify due to the prolific 
growth of the flowers. Flesh is apposed, not 
swollen. There is no blood found around or in 
on the bullet wounds. Normally this would be 
indicative of a postmortem wounding pattern 
but due to the nature of the body, this is 
unclear. 


INTERNAL EXAMINATION: Internal 
examination defies all current knowledge of 
human anatomy. After primary Y-incision was 
made, it has been discovered that the entire 
cavity had been somehow filled with tumorous 
growths bearing a strong resemblance to a 
potato. Further, no organs have been found in 
their proper places, instead, large masses of 
these tumors seem to have completely grown 
through or otherwise displaced the organs 
entirely. Dissection of these tumors, once 


excised, revealed that the tumors have the 
complete appearance of a potato. A biopsy of 
a number of these tumors has been collected 
and sent for further testing. A total of [DATA 
EXPUNGED] of these tumors have been 
removed from the body. Many of the potatoes 
have been damaged or completely destroyed 
by the aforementioned bullet wounds. 


There has been no blood found in the body. 
The veins and arteries of the body appear 
more like roots than blood vessels. Water has 
appeared to take the place of blood in these 
root-like structures. 


Time of Death: Unable to be determined, as 
testing via liver mortis and stomach contents is 
impossible. 


Immediate Cause of Death: Unknown, 
secondary to multiple gunshot wounds. 
Exsanguination is impossible due to a 
complete lack of human blood, and massive 
organ trauma is impossible due to a complete 
lack of human organs.
