Amount requested: Three 

Objects present: A remotely closed door between the 
two rooms. 

Special request: Enter the second room. 

Purpose: Test SCP-3579-2's lifespan out of water. 
Result: Three instances of SCP-3579-2 dove from the 
bowl, two of which attacked the Class-D personnel 
standing near the doorway and later returned into the 
bowl. The third instance traversed to D-3579-05 and 
attacked them. The doorway was locked down while the 
instance of SCP-3579-2 was in the room without the 
bowl. After five minutes of being trapped, the instance of 
SCP-3579-2 suffered myocardial infarction and died.

Location chosen: Within a research laboratory in 
Site-15 

Amount requested: One 

Objects present: A clipboard with a research notes 
page placed on the ground, SCP-1161 left open ina 
display case. 

Special request: Research SCP-1161. 

Purpose: See if SCP-3579-2 has non-destructive 
purposes. 

Result: A sink within the lab turned itself on, filling with 
water. A single instance of SCP-3579-2 climbed out, and 
calmly crawled towards the clipboard and SCP-1161. 
After being hunched over the clipboard for about 4 
minutes, the instance of SCP-3579-2 climbed back into 
the sink. The clipboard was filled out, in scrawny 
handwriting.

SCP-3580: The Devotion Locket 


Item #: SCP-3580 
Object Class: Safe! 


Special Containment Procedures: Each of SCP-3580's five 
components are to be held within a humidity controlled padded lock 
box. At the time of writing, only SCP-3580-a in conjunction with 
SCP-3580-d have demonstrated anomalous properties. However, 
the complete set is to be contained in the event that unprecedented 
interactions manifest. In order to prevent unintended contact 
between the aforementioned items, SCP-3580-a through SCP-3580- 
d are to be kept within individual cotton pouches. SCP-3580-e is to 
be held within a fitted 6x10cm glass frame. 


In accordance with L-4 Standard Antique Preservation Procedures, 
relative humidity levels should not be permitted to exceed 1%. 
SCP-3580-a through SCP-3580-d are to be inspected annually for 
signs of oxidation, and cleaned if necessary. 


Documented permission from the Head of On-Site Research is 
required if any containment protocols are to be disturbed or 
otherwise altered for study of SCP-3580. In order to prevent 
unnecessary damage to the heirloom, personnel hands must be 
washed and placed within standard disposable gloves prior to 
contact. The antiques remain fragile, and are to be handled with 
care. 


All occurrences of SCP-3580-2 are to be contained within a sealed 
64 m2 room. Furnishings standard with that of a middle income living 
area are required upon request. As per subject desire, the cell's 
interior may be remodeled assuming that said changes do not 
compromise containment, subject safety, nor the ability for staff 
personnel to gain access to SCP-3580-2 at any given time. 


Mandatory weekly psychological evaluations on SCP-3580-2 are to 


be performed by a trained psychiatrist. As per subject request, 
counselling sessions and a means in which to contact their assigned 
psychiatrist at any time may also be provided. On a case to case 
basis and alongside psychiatrist recommendation, SCP-3580-2 may 
be permitted to keep a small animal companion of their choice. 


Description: SCP-3580 is composed of a set of gilded jewelry 
consistent with traditional Chinese betrothal wear. Each piece of the 
set contains an evident flower motif, and displays near-perfect 
condition.

It has been theorized that at full production, SCP-464 could produce 
up to 700 adult individuals a day, assuming of organic 
material was available. 


Document 464-1: War simulations that included three instances of 
SCP-464 all resulted in [DATA EXPUNGED]. This of course 
assumes an adequate supply of raw material, which could be 
acquired from the deceased, livestock, and civilian populations. 
Addendum: Agents and have been put on assignment 
to search for more instances of SCP-464. The danger of a fully 
functioning instance falling into the hands of some other agency or 
country is too great to ignore. — O5-

Affliction 2.a: 

Upon physical exposure to SCP-3580-e while contained within 
SCP-3580-a, subject [hereafter referred to as SCP-3580-2] 
demonstrates no immediate adverse effects. After an indeterminate 
amount of time, subject will grow increasing despondent and 
withdrawn. As time progresses SCP-3580-2 will develop pervasive 
hypercritical delusions regarding human physical appearance 
indicative of [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


All instances of SCP-3580-2 express mild to extreme distress when 
confronted with their own physical appearance. Attempts are 
frequently made to either hide or correct one's perceived flaws. 
Methods noted include drastic bodily dissimulation, including 
excessive use of cosmetic surgery2. SCP-3580-2 will frequently 
seek the reassurance of others to deny that any notable change has 
taken place. Self-mutilation has been observed in late stage 
psychosis. 


SCP-3580-2 will also express mild to extreme distress when 
confronted with the physical appearance of others’. SCP-3580-2 will 
often terminate both romantic and platonic relationships. When 
forced to converse with or view another human, all subjects have 
been noted to close eyes or avoid visual contact with the individual. 
Several display immediate urges to terminate interaction through 
physical or verbal means. If this fails, SCP-3580-2 has been noted 
to dissociate from reality, and/or grow violent. 


Behavior demonstrated by SCP-3580-2 includes an acute fixation on 
commonly viewed physiological regions such as the nose, stomach, 
thighs, skin, and hair. Incidences expand to include height, lip 
shape/size, shoulder width, proportional limb distribution, and 
muscle size. This degradation worsens proportionately as time 
passes, eventually encompassing SCP-3580-2's viewpoint of all 
visible features of themselves and others. No instances of 


SCP-3580-2 have manifested a genuine post-exposure alteration of 
appearance. 


Extreme methods of establishing and maintaining self isolation have 
been noted. SCP-3580-2 are at a heightened risk for anxiety, 
depression, and suicidal ideation/attempt. The application of 
amnestics to remove memory of encounter with SCP-3580-a and 
SCP-3580-e demonstrate no observable effects on psychosis. 


Addendum 3580-1: [07/18/2071 ] As ordered by Dr. _ all 
components associated with SCP-3580 underwent a detailed 
chemical composition analysis. 


Note: Results indicative of wear, but no anomalous 
properties were detected. The gilding appears to have 
been performed utilizing 24 carat gold leaf (99.79% 
purity). The main body of each item consists of carved 
Pinus armandii wood, indigenous to China. SCP-3580-a 
exists as a notable exception. Its main body appears to 
have been constructed utilizing Pinus resinosa, which 
remains native to exclusively North America. 


Addendum 3580-2: /01/21/201 ] As a result of previous testing, a 
second specialized examination of SCP-3580-a was performed as 
ordered by Dr. 


Note: Carbon dating of the main body indicates an age of 
150+ years. Additionally, SCP-3580-a's angular 
design indicates that it had been crafted in Victorian era 
style. This remains highly inconsistent with the remainder 
of the set. Results indicative of [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum 3580-3: /02/04/201 ] Autopsy report of Agent L 
Subject unknowingly came under the effects of Affliction 2.a during 
initial containment, and was hospitalized three weeks later as a 
result of life threatening self-mutilation. Subject's body was 
confiscated and brought to Site 1 . All attending medical 
professionals were administered Class-A amnestics.

Post-Mortem Report L:45-2 - [02/03/201 ] 


Name, Age, and Marital Status: Agent L 
/24/Single 

Address: [REDACTED] 

P.M Authorized By: Dr. 

Place of P.M: Site 1 Medical Ward, Wing: N2, 

Rm: 04 

Operating Physician: Dr. 

P.M Attendees: Dr. , Field Agent 

Time and Date of Death: 4:54am, 

[02/02/2011 ] 

Time and Date of P.M: 6:13pm, [02/02/201 | 

External Examination: Remains presented in 

a black body bag. Subject wearing black 

cotton hooded sweatshirt and navy blue pants. 


The body is that of an athletic caucasian male, 
measuring 172cm and weighing 82kg. Hair is 
brown in colour and approximately 5cm at 
longest point. The body is cold and 
unembalmed. Lividity is fixed in the inferior 
limbs. The eyes and surrounding skin including 
portions of the scalp from the occipital bone to 
either parietal ridge had been removed prior to 
death [hereafter referred to as Aberration A]. 


Removal of clothes reveals recent chemical 
burn damage to all regions of external skin 
below the shoulders [hereafter referred to as 
Aberration B]. Accumulation of necrotic tissues 
and fibrinopurulent material lining the chest 
and back. Distal limbs present hardened gray 
flesh. Damage to subcutaneous tissue evident. 
The presence of infection and dried exudate 
indicate healing. Aberration B was likely 
created approximately two weeks prior to 
death. 


Head/Central Nervous System: Subsequent 


autopsy shows severe comminuted fracturing 
as a result of Aberration A in the parietal, 
frontal, nasal, temporal, ethmoid, and lacrimal 
bones. Additional fracturing can be seen within 
the zygomatic arch. Lacerations from 
Aberration A penetrate the skin and subdermal 
tissues of the head and neck. Tearing of the 
dura, arachnoid, and pia mater is evident. 
Abnormal quantities of blood can be found 
within the subarachnoid space, in addition to 
mild bruising on the frontal and parietal lobes 
of the brain. 


Skeletal System: See above. All other 
structures appear intact. 


Respiratory System/Throat Structures: The 
mucosa displays several large lesions 
resulting from excessive irritation via the teeth. 
Otherwise, there are no injuries to the lips, 
teeth or gums. 


There is no obstruction of the airway. Mucosa 
of the epiglottis, glottis, piriform sinuses, 
trachea and major bronchi appear irritated, 
likely from chemical inhilation. 


Cardiovascular System: The heart has a 
normal size and configuration. 


Gastrointestinal System: The mucosa and 
wall of the esophagus are irritated but without 
lesions. The gastric mucosa is without injury. 
Approximately ml of partially digested 
[REDACTED] is found in the stomach. The 
mucosa of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and 
colon are intact. Rectum appears scarred by 
Aberration B. 


Urinary System: The kidneys are 
unremarkable. 


Male Genital System: Effects of Aberration B 
are present on all exposed genitalia. Based on 
evidence provided by subdurmal tissue 
analysis, a crude self-enacted vasectomy 
appears to have been performed 
approximately two weeks prior to death. All 
remaining structures are intact. 


Toxicology: A sample of blood and bile are 
submitted for toxicologic analysis. 


Cause of Death: Subarachnoid hemorrhaging 
resulting from Aberration A. Aberration B is 
estimated to have occurred two weeks prior to 
death. 


Closing Remarks: Subject was originally 
presented as a homicide victim due to the 
violent nature of the structural damage to the 
cranium. Presence of Aberration B indicates 
this possibility to be highly unlikely. Given 
AgentL _'s assignment as a member of 
SCP-3580's retrieval team (and the reported 
nature of SCP-3580) an unreported breach in 
containment is likely at fault. 


Note: The mental well being of all cases of SCP-3580-2 
should now be considered high priority. No further 
creations of SCP-3580-2 are to be permitted under any 
circumstances. -Dr.
