SCP-1022 is a risk for psychopathology in exposed subjects. After 
experiencing the effects of SCP-1022, subjects may develop anxiety 
or obsessive-compulsive traits (unsurprisingly, abnormal cleaning 
habits are dominant), anorexia, and socially isolating behaviours - 
other manifestations are less common. The pattern of these 
symptoms is variable between subjects and dependent on factors 
such as personality traits, underlying psychopathology, occupation 
and educational level. High threshold for disgust and biomedical 
education have been noted to be protective. SCP-1022-related 
psychopathology may be treated by standard methods involving 
cognitive behavioural therapy to reinforce the harmless and ‘normal’ 
nature of the visions, in conjunction with anxiolytic medication. 


Addendum 1022-1: 


While data on long-term SCP-1022 exposure is scarce, some 
subjects have reported developing further abnormal sensations after 
3 months at a minimum of experiencing SCP-1022's effect. These 


include abnormal tactile inputs (‘crawling' sensations), the feeling of 
organisms ‘jumping’ from surfaces to the subject, and [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. One subject (D-10225A9) reported mild feelings of 
discomfort in the throat, chest and abdomen for which no medical 
cause could be found. Further observation is required. Presently, the 
development of these is considered harmless and only indicates 
medication as necessary. 


Addendum 1022-2: 


Ability of subjects to cope with SCP-1022 exposure in the long term 
was confirmed by Experiment 1022-5A. D-10225A1 [male, 34, 
Eastern European, relevant background as emergency medical 
technician] successfully adapted to SCP-1022's effect and retains 
normal function and mental stability after months, requiring only 
fortnightly psychological support and no medication. Dr H 
submitted a request to have D-10225A1 assigned to the Site- 
microbial laboratory as an assistant; this was approved and Dr H 
reports D-10225A1 has been a useful resource for the research 
team. 


Subsequently, a number of proposals have been made for 
expanded use of SCP-1022 for both D-class personnel and 
Foundation staff involved in sterile-environment medical work or 
containment of biologically hazardous SCP objects such as 
[REDACTED]. Expanded use of SCP-1022 on D-class and staff 
volunteers is approved post-completion of: 


* a proposal demonstrating value of SCP-1022's effects in 
subject's duties with the Foundation 

* acomprehensive psychiatric evaluation 

* the SCP-1022 orientation course at Site- , involving 2 weeks 
of education sessions and isolation in rooms designed to 
simulate SCP-1022's effects (using a combination of video 
technology and paper cutouts) 


These prerequisites are not mandatory for D-class personnel but are 
recommended for research and data collection purposes. 


NOTE [15/01/20 ]: Use of SCP-1022 on Foundation 
personnel has been suspended following Incident 


1022-1. Use of D-class personnel may continue but 
caution is advised. 


Incident 1022-1: 


Dr A ,aLevel 3 member of the Site- medical staff, was an early 
volunteer for use of SCP-1022 and was approved after completing 
the requirements. He responded well to the effects of SCP-1022 and 
was functional and mentally stable after weeks with psychological 
treatment and anxiolytics. On 14/01/20 , Agent R was sent to 
the Site- medical facility after experiencing bouts of abdominal pain 
diagnosed as acute appendicitis. As Dr A entered the operating 
theater, he became highly agitated, administered a lethal dose of 
anaesthetic to Agent R and called a Level-1 biohazard 
emergency warning. Appropriate protocols were initiated and the 
Site and personnel were decontaminated, which revealed no 
remarkable pathogens. Agent R 's remains were autopsied and 
found to be normal save a confirmation of the appendicitis diagnosis 
(the pathogens involved were normal intestinal flora). Agent R 
was previously healthy and had no record of exposure to major 
biohazards. Dr A_ was placed into custody but remained agitated 
and uncooperative, demanding the incineration of Agent R 's 
remains and further decontamination of the Site. Interrogation 
demonstrated his belief in an undefined SCP-level biohazardous 
contaminant of Agent R necessitating the neutralisation of Site- 
and non-essential personnel. 


Site- remains operational with no ill effects to date and Dr A has 
been detained indefinitely. Following this incident, use of SCP-1022 
on Foundation personnel has been suspended and all subjects 
exposed to SCP-1022 placed under closer surveillance. 


Addendum 1022-3: D-10225A1 has reported auditory hallucinations 
of 'squirming' sounds. Reassurance was given and he has been 
started on a low dose of anxiolytics. 


Footnotes

objects, SCP-791's anomalous sterility manifests in a similar manner.

SCP-1023: The Glass Seismograph 


Item #: SCP-1023 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1023 is to be kept within a 
1m x 1m x 1m lead-lined steel box to be stored at Research Sector 
4 at Site 17 at all times when it is not being tested or studied. 
SCP-1023 is to be kept under audio and video surveillance at all 
times during containment and testing, and Senior Researcher is 
to be notified at any time the object becomes active. All data the 
object produces is to be recorded both digitally and physically and 
stored within a secure vault on-site. If any data the object produces 
is of risk to the Foundation, it is to be forwarded as soon as possible 
to the nearest Site Administrator. 


Description: SCP-1023 is a seismograph of unknown make and 
manufacture, procured by Agent during a raid on a Marshall, 
Carter & Dark Ltd. warehouse in [REDACTED]. The object appears 
to be composed of an unknown material which resembles glass, but 
contains traces of elements not normally occurring on Earth. The 
object is a center "post" with 3 outlying platforms which each have 
one roll of paper, two electrical motors, and a small pen. One 
platform of the device measures magnitude of the event in a fashion 
similar to ordinary seismographs, another records the location in 
longitude and latitude, and the final platform records the date and 
time (the predicted time of the event has shown a deviation of + 
minutes). It has been suggested that SCP-1023 is a modified 
version of a normal seismograph, as the helicorders it possesses 
are in the normal positions to record motion in the X, Y, and Z 
directions. Paper is to be regularly supplied when SCP-1023 runs 
out, to prevent missing an event. 


SCP-1023 is able to record seismic activity from anywhere on Earth. 
In addition, SCP-1023 is occasionally able to predict seismic activity 
from the future. The method or mechanism through which it detects 


and measures seismic events is unknown. Foundation researchers 
were able to determine the function of SCP-1023 when a recording 
from SCP-1023 was discovered to correlate with seismic records of 
the March 2011 earthquake in Japan, as well as the aftershocks of 
said earthquake. It is unknown how SCP-1023 chooses which 
events to report, as it is not reporting all seismic activity in the world. 
It is theorized that SCP-1023 only reports those events that are 
relevant to large amounts of people or to its current "owner". 


Addendum:

Location: . °N, . °E, near Site 
Magnitude: 5.8 


Event 1023-4 

Date: / / 

Location: Activity detected from multiple locations within ~19 
minutes of each other. Numerous large cities and many Foundation 
sites appear to be locations given by the device. 

Magnitude: Varies slightly depending on location. The similarity of 
readings indicates detonations of warheads rather than natural 
earthquakes. 


+ MESSAGE VIEWABLE BY LEVEL 4 PERSONNEL AND HIGHER C 


SCP-1023's prediction of record amounts of 
nuclear detonations within a short period on / 
/ is especially worrying given the 


increasing frequency with which numerous 
SCPs are predicting an XK-class event on 
dates coinciding with or near this date 
(Including SCP- ,SCP- ,andSCP-_ ). All 
precautions are to be taken regarding 
containment procedure adherence and we are 
to be wary of outside factions, as well as 
uncontained anomalous objects. As far in the 
future as this date is, it is always best to start 
preparations early. When you have prior notice 
of a situation, take advantage of it. 
Remember: Secure, Contain, Protect.

SCP-1024: The Basic Set 


Item #: SCP-1024 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1024 is kept in a secure 
locker at Reliquary Containment Site-76, under standard Level 3 
Bibliomorphic Containment Conditions. Access to SCP-1024 is 
prohibited without level 3 authorization. Personnel assigned to 
researching SCP-1024 have standing authorization for access, but 
must inform their Project Leader before accessing SCP-1024 and 
must log all activity related to its use. 


Description: SCP-1024 is a modified Dungeons and Dragons Basic 
boxed set, published ca. 1981, in nearly new condition, consisting of 
a rulebook, a module (a pre-printed adventure), a catalog, a set of 
dice, and a crayon. Although SCP-1024 superficially resembles a 
standard box set sold at the time, the rulebook and module have 
had their pages removed and replaced with sheets of vellum and 
bound using platinum staples. The pages are filled with diagrams 
and text written in Classical Latin using red ink, and the books smell 
faintly of sulfur. Together, the two books provide basic information 
with which one can, with sufficient study and practice, invoke a 
variety of low-power anomalous effects. 


The rulebook (designated SCP-1024-01) is sixty-four pages long 
and contains general information regarding invoking these effects, 
including the types of material to be used (and why), how to choose 
and prepare a location for invoking these effects, how to prepare the 
self beforehand, and steps to take in case something goes wrong. 
SCP-1024-01 does not include procedures for invoking any specific 
effect, however. 


The module (designated SCP-1024-02) is thirty-two pages long and 
contains step-by-step instructions for invoking a variety of effects, 
based on information found in SCP-1024-01. Anomalous effects that 


have been successfully invoked using procedures found in 
SCP-1024-02 include: 


Creating a protective circle (SCP-1024-01 notes that invoking 
this circle is recommended before performing any other 
process) 

Changing superficial traits on an object, such as its color or 
roughness 

Changing the ambient temperature slightly (generally by no 
more than 5°C) 

Repairing minor damage an object has sustained 

Healing minor injuries 

Causing a short-lived tactile effect on another person, such as 
an itch or a tickle 

Reading the surface thoughts of another person for brief 
periods 

Causing a small animal (no larger than a mouse) to 
spontaneously appear 


The books imply that stronger effects can be invoked using 
information that can be found in a different, more advanced set of 
books. However, no such volumes have yet been found. 


The remaining components of SCP-1024 (the catalog, dice, crayon, 
and box) do not appear to have any anomalous properties.

SCP-1025: Encyclopedia of Diseases 


Item #: SCP-1025 
Object Class: Keter Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its potential as a 
bioweapon capable of destroying all life on Earth, SCP-1025 is to be 
kept in an isolated underground vault secured by no fewer than 10 
armed guards, to be rotated twice weekly and checked for 
compromise by infectious agents. The vault should be armed with a 
thermite mine to be detonated at the first sign of containment 
breach. 

Revision: SCP-1025 is to be kept in a passcode-secured locker. 
Further research requires O5 approval. 


Description: SCP-1025 is a hardcover book, approximately 1,500 
pages long. The front cover and spine feature the title "The 
Encyclopedia of Common Diseases.” The publisher's page indicates 
the book was printed in 19 by Press. No other copies of a book 
with that title and publisher have been found, and no record of the 
publisher exists. 


Readers of the book seem to exhibit symptoms of any disease they 
read about. The effect can take between and_ hours to manifest. 
(See Test Log) 


Addendum 1025-01: Test Log 


Subjects: D-1025-01 

Test: Subject read entry entitled "Common Cold." 
Subject observed for several hours afterward. 

Results: Subject exhibited cough within 2 hours, and 
when asked, claimed to feel "slightly achey," though he 
attributed this to uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. 


Subjects: D-1025-02 


Test: Subject read entry entitled "Chicken Pox." Subject 
observed for several hours. 

Results: Over the course of one hour, subject observed 
to scratch at no fewer than 5 points on her body 
repeatedly. Subject's medical history indicated she had 
contracted chicken pox at age 8. Possible evidence that 
item can override natural immunities noted. 


Subjects: D-1025-03 

Test: Subject read entry entitled "Cancer of the Lungs." 
Subject observed for several hours. Test was to 
determine item's ability to accelerate advancement of 
illnesses. 

Result: Subject observed to cough 4 10 6 a significant 
number of times over the course of hours withina 
relatively small amount of time. Subject denied feeling 
any discomfort, but observation of subject's breathing 
indicated irregularities. Subject terminated and sent for 
autopsy. No tumors apparent. 

Note: We clearly didn't wait long enough. But we all 
heard the coughs, and his wheezing. 


Subjects: D-1025-04 

Test: Previous test repeated, but subject observed for 7 
days. 

Results: A lot of coughing and wheezing, far beyond 
what should be considered normal. Subject terminated 
and sent for autopsy. No tumors apparent. 

Note: What if the illness vanishes after death, making 
infection all the more insidious? 


Subjects: D-1025-05 

Test: Same as previous. 

Results: Same as previous, but subject sent for 
vivisection, utilizing [DATA EXPUNGED] hours before 
expiring from shock. No tumors apparent. 

Note: We have to keep trying. Imagine if this were an 
infectious agent. Imagine if there were more books like 
this out there. 


[Redundant tests redacted for brevity. In summary, each 


test used one D-class subject, who read one entry from 
the item, and was then tested or vivisected in search of 
signs of infection following reported symptoms. After test 
15, research was moved to a dedicated isolated facility in 

, , Staffed by 3 researchers and 2 security. One D- 
class subject delivered as needed to minimize space and 
ration needs.] 


Subjects: D-1025-27 

Test: Subject read entry entitled "Appendicitis." Subject 
had undergone an appendectomy at age 16. Observed 
for 3 days. 

Results: After 52 hours, subject complained of stomach 
ache significant abdominal discomfort. Vivisection 
performed. No appendix found, but area where appendix 
would normally be looked a few shades more red than it 
should be, by general consensus of research staff. 


Subjects: D-1025-28 (formerly Researcher ) 
Test: Subject had developed persistent cough, despite 
never reading SCP-1025, and was placed in observation 
for one week.
