All paperwork in Site 952 is to be proofread and approved by at least 
two staff members, to ensure no errors are present. All materials, 
equipment, and resources are to be documented and receipted to 
catalog where it was used and for what purpose. 


Description: SCP-3542 is a 28-year-old male of French and Italian 
Descent, formerly known as Renard Di Giacinto. SCP-3542 has 
extreme ontokinetic abilities, but appears to be unaware of them, 
despite using these abilities very frequently. 


SCP-3542's ontokinetic abilities have no known limit, but primarily 
manifest in the creation of items and materials the subject uses to 
respond to emergency events. Items created by the subject are 


often anomalously effective at their created purpose. SCP-3542 also 
appears to be able to teleport or move through space while unseen; 
however, later analysis will always provide a route or reason for how 
it moved to the location. 


Additionally, emergencies will regularly occur within the vicinity of 
SCP-3542, and it will invariably discover a way out of its cell and aid 
in the emergency. When the subject responds to an emergency or 
event in its vicinity, it will always act like a typical "hero", referring to 
itself as "The Red Fox". The subject displays an anomalous 
understanding of the emergencies it responds to, and often provides 
materials or solutions that don't immediately appear relevant. It is 
still unclear whether the emergencies are caused by SCP-3542's 
anomaly or whether it just responds to them. 


Addendum SCP-3542-1: Below is a list of all incidents involving 
SCP-3542, and their corresponding containment procedure updates. 


Emergency: Doctor Vanderbilt accidently broke a pen 
he was using and began to feel light-headed. 


Resolution: SCP-3542 immediately appeared outside 
Vanderbilt's office with a gas mask and wooden pencil. 
Upon further investigation, it was revealed that a portion 
of the ink within the pen had been replaced with a 
poisonous substance that reacted with air. The poison 
has been linked to those used by the Chaos Insurgency. 


Containment Procedures Update: Inspection of 
security footage revealed SCP-3542 left its cell and stole 
a gas mask from the Site 952 equipment storage room. 
Updated procedures to include multiple locks on 
SCP-3542's cell. Site-wide policies were updated to 
ensure better tracking of equipment. 


Emergency: A clerical error resulted in a barrel of 
gasoline being swapped for a barrel of cooking oil, 
resulting in a large fire in Site 952's cafeteria. 


Resolution: SCP-3542 appeared in the cafeteria with a 
small bucket of water and a fire extinguisher. Despite the 


size of the fire, the subject entered the cafeteria and 
subdued the blaze. It's unclear how the fire managed to 
spread as quickly as it did or how SCP-3542 was able to 
subdue it so quickly. Once a fire crew responded to the 
fire, it had already been put out. 


Containment Procedures Update: Investigation into 
the incident revealed that SCP-3542 had used one of its 
uniform's buttons to pry the door open. Additional locks 
were added to SCP-3542's cell and site-wide policies 
were updated to require multiple staff proofreading and 
confirming paperwork and resource allocation. 


Emergency: Mnestics drugs needed for antimemetic 
anomaly testing were replaced with lethal poison. 


Resolution: Immediately following Dr. Teller's ingestion 
of the poison, SCP-3542 appeared with a syringe 
containing an antidote, which it immediately injected into 
Dr. Teller. The remaining poison was subsequently found 
and removed from the mnestic storage area. Dr. Teller 
reported feeling fine, except for some soreness in his left 
shoulder from the injection. 


Containment Procedures Update: Inspection of 
SCP-3542's cell showed that a bobby pin had been 
inserted into the locking mechanism on the other side. 
Updated procedures to include a more diverse series of 
locks. 


Emergency: During atest of SCP-  , an anomalous 
cloud formed within the testing chamber, and began to 
rain highly acidic fluid. 


Resolution: SCP-3542 manifested carrying seemingly 
acid-resistant umbrellas and a box of baking soda. After 
distributing umbrellas to unprotected personnel’, 
SCP-3542 threw the box of baking soda at the cloud. 
This neutralized the cloud, turning all precipitation into 
regular water. No method has been found to remove the 
cloud from the testing chamber. 


Containment Procedures Update: Despite being 10m 
above the ground, removed ceiling tiles indicate that 
SCP-3542 managed to enter the ventilation system. 
Containment procedures updated to fasten all ceiling 
tiles with additional bolts, and remove any furniture that 
could aid in reaching the ceiling. Security cameras were 
added to SCP-3542's containment cell as well. 


Emergency: Due to an attack on Foundation servers, 
the containment cell for SCP-058 was opened. 


Resolution: Before the door to SCP-058's chamber 
opened wide enough for SCP-058 to exit, SCP-3542 
manifested with a bicycle lock, which it then used to 
secure the door. The bicycle lock held long enough for 
Foundation personnel to repel the cyberattack, and close 
SCP-058's cell door. It is currently unknown how the 
bicycle lock sustained so much damage, or how the lock 
attached to the door. 


Containment Procedure Update: Security footage 
shows SCP-3542 using a chicken bone from its dinner to 
disable all additional locks that had been placed in its 
containment cell. It is currently unknown how this aided 
in both the numeric lock, and the biometric lock. This 
was not reported at the time due to personnel focusing 
their attention on the cyberattack. Containment 
procedures updated to specify that SCP-3542 only be 
fed liquid or paste-based food. 


Emergency: A full scale raid of Site-952 by the Chaos 
Insurgency. 


Resolution: SCP-3542 manifested wearing a cape, and 
a "utility belt". It incapacitated the entire attacking force 
using items such as a rubber duck that was capable of 
summoning very aggressive waterfowl, a set of animate 
and unbreakable play handcuffs, a jar of an unidentified 
white gel@, and a copy of "Superheroes for Dummies". 
When Foundation personnel arrived, SCP-3542 had just 
finished tying the remaining unconscious agents together 


with its “utility twine". 


Containment Procedures Update: Due to a typo in the 
containment maintenance rotation schedule, fewer than 
the recommended number of armed guards were 
present for SCP-3542's routine cavity search. The 
search was carried out, against Foundation guidelines, 
resulting in SCP-3542 breaching containment. Personnel 
involved were reprimanded. Containment procedures 
updated to increase the number of personnel required to 
restrain SCP-3542 during cavity searches. 


Emergency: Attempted assassination of Dr. Teller by a 
Cl member during their interrogation. 


Resolution: See Addendum SCP-3542-2. 


Containment Procedures Update: Security footage 
showed that SCP-3542 simply disappeared from its 
containment cell, leaving behind a note that read "Duty 
calls!". Containment procedures update pending. 


Addendum SCP-3542-2: One member of the captured Chaos 
Insurgency members (Cl-104) volunteered to forfeit information 
about their mission after undergoing three weeks of enhanced 
interrogation techniques. Below is a transcript of the resulting 
interview. 


Dr. Teller: | hear you elected to tell us about your 
mission and motives. 


Cl-104: Yes, | did. 


Dr. Teller: Then | will cut to the chase then. How were 
you able to get inside the facility so easily? 


Cl-104: About four of us had been running an 
undercover operation. Had mapped out the whole place. 
Also got a few chances from HQ to wreak a little havoc. 


Dr. Teller: So you were responsible for the poisoned 
mnestics and acid cloud incident? 


CI-104: Wait, acid cloud? 


Dr. Teller: |'ll take that as a yes and a no respectively. 
Why did you attempt a full scale attack? 


Cl-104: HQ signaled it was time for us to retrieve our 
quarry. And we decided that the security here was too 
tight for us to sneak out with it, so we went for 
something... less subtle. 


Dr. Teller: Wait, so your undercover operation started in 
order to retrieve something you already knew was there? 


Cl-104: Affirmative. 
Dr. Teller: Who gave you inside information? 
CI-104: Well, | believe it came fr— 


SCP-3542 manifests behind CI-104 and stabs him with a 
steak knife. 


Dr. Teller: Wha— 


SCP-3542: No need to thank me, citizen. Saving lives is 
all part of the job. 


Dr. Teller: Oh, for fuck's sake! 


Outside security guards entered the room, restrained 
SCP-3542 and returned it to its containment chamber. 


This is the only known time where SCP-3542 has killed another 
person. No other Chaos Insurgency members volunteered to 
disclose any further information.

1. Due to there being fewer umbrellas than personnel, some were 
forced to share umbrellas. 

2. Later identified to be mayonnaise. 


SCP-3543: One, Two, Four 


Item #: SCP-3543 
Object Class: Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3543 itself requires no 
special containment, as all associated research is presumed 
destroyed! after the death of Dr. Grant. 


Instances of SCP-3543 are contained in separate Foundation- 
owned healthcare facilities in the northwestern United States, 
separated by a distance of at least 150km to prevent individuals 
coming into contact with multiple instances. Psychiatric staff from 
Site-17 should confer with local caregivers to monitor mental 
condition. As a preventative measure and for the general well-being 
of the subjects, instances are to be administered Class-B amnestics 
in addition to anti-psychotics used for treatment of schizophrenia. 


Instances of SCP-3543 require round-the-clock care by an LPN or 
licensed NP, with preference given to those who have experience 
with emotionally disturbed patients. Among the caregiver's duties 
are assisting in daily processes such as grooming and self-care, 
maintaining emotional and physical health through exercise and 
socialization, and stimulating the mind with simple complex scientific 
experiments complex theoretical problems visual stimulation. The 
caregivers should be aware that although the type of care they are 
providing is non-anomalous, the individuals in question are the result 
of anomalous events and should be treated as such. 


Description: SCP-3543 refers to a defunct research project 
developed by former Foundation employee Dr. Charles Grant. While 
no known copies of this research exist, a colleague of the late Dr. 
Grant? was able to provide an abstract of his proposal.

SCP-456: Soporific Bedbugs 


Item #: SCP-456 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The SCP-456 colony is to be 
kept in a sealed containment room. Personnel entering the 
containment area should wear Level 1 biohazard suits to avoid 
being bitten by SCP-456, and the suits must be treated with 
insecticide upon leaving the enclosure. When not being used in 
experiments, SCP-456 must be fed 70 ml of human or animal blood 
per 100 insects, weekly. 


Description: SCP-456 is a variety of the common bedbug (Cimex 
lectularius). In addition to an anticoagulant, SCP-456 injects [DATA 
EXPUNGED] when biting its host, causing the brain to produce 
adenosine, endorphins, and a narcotic identified as an analogue of 
fentanyl. As a result, victims of SCP-456 infestations experience 
increasing euphoria and somnolence as the number of insects 
increases, eventually sleeping 24 hours/day. 


SCP-456 was identified after a number of individuals were found 
dead in their homes, suffering from varying degrees of malnutrition, 
blood loss, and narcotics toxicity. SCP-456 continues to be a 
problem in the wild. To reduce the number of infestations, the CDC 
has issued a false report that bedbugs carry malaria and must be 
exterminated when found. 


Addendum: Four D-Class were requisitioned for exposure to 
SCP-456, to determine long-term effects. 


Experiment 456-1: D-17514 exposed to SCP-456 and fed standard 
rations, but given no other special treatment. After 17 days of 
exposure, D-17514 slept constantly and was unable to care for 
himself. Subject expired from malnutrition days later. 


Macro-mitosis: Being in two places at once 
Dr. Charles Grant (Project Leader) and Dr. 
Allison Taylor (Psychological Research 
Support) 


The Foundation faces growing demand for 
individuals to perform menial tasks while 
simultaneously requiring them to be qualified 
researchers and/or possess certain esoteric 
knowledge in their field. To address this issue, 
| have devised a process by which healthy 
human beings can create an identical copy of 
themselves. This process is achieved using 
guided meditation sessions which aid the 
listener in visualizing this copy. A delicate 
balance of machines manipulates local hume 
levels to anchor the manifestation in reality, 
allowing the two copies to interact with their 
surroundings for an undetermined (possibly 
infinite) amount of time. The manifestation 
would remain under the control of the subject 
and would be able to engage in separate tasks 
in separate locations, though with diminished 
capability. The same machines can utilize an 
additional set of guided meditations to aid 
subjects in reversing the process. 


The most noteworthy side effect of this 
procedure is an effective "halving" of the 
subject's intelligence level. The strain of 
simultaneously operating two complete human 
brains tends to leave subjects functioning at 
approximately half their regular mental 
capacity. Given that this procedure was 
developed for Foundation scientists and 
researchers who are highly intelligent and 
skilled in multitasking, this should present little 
to no challenge for those who undergo macro- 
mitosis. 


The SCP Foundation suggested to Dr. Grant that this was not a 
productive avenue of research, as additional personnel could be 
hired instead of using unreliable anomalous individuals. Members of 
the Ethics Committee also raised several concerns about the 
possible use of the procedure, accidental or otherwise, to produce 
other anomalies with unknown properties. As such, no testing was 
ever sanctioned. 


SCP-3543 also includes three individual instances: a set of triplets 
with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities, designated 
SCP-3543-1, SCP-3543-2, and SCP-3543-3. To streamline 
communication and promote mental health, an instance of 
SCP-3543 may be referred to as "Charlie" when conversing with it. 
-1, -2, and -3 display several non-anomalous traits of emotional and 
psychological instability, including but not limited to aggressive and 
destructive outbursts, a tendency towards self-injury, prolonged 
periods of wailing or similar vocalization, oppositional defiance, and 
obsessive-compulsive behavior. 


While the instances are mostly identical to each other as well as to 
Dr. Grant, some divergence has been noted.3 The most significant 
deviation comes from the subjects’ intellectual capabilities: while Dr. 
Grant claimed to have an IQ of 184, testing and observation from 
psychological healthcare professionals place the IQ of SCP-3543-1, 
SCP-3543-2, and SCP-3543-3 at 50 or lower. 


Instances of SCP-3543 appear to be aware of the existence of one 
another, and have displayed extreme distress during every 
occurrence of this realization. They have been observed trying to 
seek out other instances, and have been heard requesting that an 
unknown instance "come back". Treatment of amnestics has 
suppressed this trait. As of 03/17/20 , -1, -2, and -3 no longer 
display knowledge of each other.
