Incident 3551-03: A group of SCP-3551-1 instances accompanied 
by two -3 instances attempted to attack a pool party at ; 
California. Instances were apprehended by party-goers before being 
retrieved by Foundation agents. 


Incident 3551-04: During an unrelated investigation, Agent 

Pierce went to a scrap yard as a part of alead and came across an 
SCP-3551-1 instance. The subject was found being used as a chew 
toy for the guard dog of the scrap yard, and it called for help while 
proclaiming surrender. Agent Pierce reported the discovery and 
recovery teams arrived. An interrogation with Mr. , the owner of 
the property, revealed that he discovered the instance when it 
attempted to steal materials. Amnestics were given and the instance 
was transported to containment. During transport, it reluctantly 
thanked the recovery team and stated, "One day | will learn to 
defeat your dreaded war beasts, but today | accept my defeat." 


Document 3551: On 04/12/ , the following note was mailed to Site- 
along with addresses of storage warehouses containing 
untouched SCP-3551 instances. 


To the SCP Foundation, 


| wish to thank you for your efforts in collecting all my 
colorful little space invaders and associated products 
from the Inflatable Invasion pack. | see you have been 
having fun with them and | feel ashamed at discontinuing 
this line of product. | appreciate you giving them a nice 
home at your facilities and hope you manage to find 
them all, my dear collectors. 


| have plans for perhaps a bigger and better, possible 
revival though we will have to wait and see. Until then, 
continue having interstellar fun. 


Sincerely, 
Dr. Wondertainment 


SCP-3552: Never Swallow A Melon Seed 


Item #: SCP-3552 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All known instances of 
SCP-3552 are to be secured in a standard containment locker at 
Site-103 and restricted to Level-3 Clearance and above. 


Instances of SCP-3552-A are to be kept in standard humanoid 
containment chambers at all times. Chambers are to be fitted with 
200 watt UVB lamps. SCP-3552-A instances should be exposed to 
UVB light for twelve to fifteen hours per day. SCP-3552-A instances 
are to be provided with up to five liters of water per day. 


Description: SCP-3552 is the designation for a collection of 246 
Citrullus lana (common watermelon) seeds currently in containment. 
Although appearing non-anomalous externally, samples taken and 
analyzed have revealed traces of multiple unidentified compounds. 


SCP-3552's primary anomalous nature becomes apparent when 
ingested by human individuals. Affected individuals report extreme 
fatigue, abdominal/gastrointestinal pain and vomiting within an hour 
after consumption that grows in intensity over time. Abdominal CT 
scans taken during this period show the manifestation of a number 
of tumor-like growths around the lining of the stomach. Biopsy of 
masses reveal the tissue samples to be comprised entirely of pith 
from common fruits. The fruits themselves vary from subject to 
subject. 


Tumors grow exponentially within the affected individual's body, 
rapidly causing further injury and mobility issues as they put stress 
on organs and protrude out of the body. Tumors created this way 
are capable of receiving stimuli and transmitting pain signals to the 
brain. 


After several days, ultrasounds reveal the formation of a fetus within 
the tumors, designated SCP-3552-A. This process, like the process 
of human fetal development, is aided by the absorption of nutrients 
from the affected individual and puts immense stress on the host's 
body. Complete gestation of SCP-3552-A takes approximately four 
weeks. During this period, the instance will grow appendages that 
protrude from the growth, causing extreme discomfort. After the four 
week period, the instance of SCP-3552-A will detach on its own, a 
process that is unanimously considered to be excruciatingly painful; 
however, affected individuals receive no lasting damage upon 
removal. 


SCP-3552-A instances are sapient and humanoid in nature; 
however, they are composed entirely of tissues of various fruits. 
Behaviorally, they act similarly to normal human infants and are 
vulnerable to physical and emotional discomfort. Despite their 
physiology, they are resilient to the decomposition and expiry that 
affect typical produce. 


The Foundation is currently in possession of seventeen instances of 
SCP-3552-A, designated SCP-3552-A-1 through 17. Dissection of 
SCP-3552-A reveals the presence of an average of 30-40 instances 
of SCP-3552 within the body. Organ systems appear identical to 
humans, although also comprised of various fruit tissues. 


Addendum-3552-1: Initial Discovery: On August 24 of the year 
2010, local news channels in Bulacan, Philippines aired an interview 
with a Maria Rosa Subagon, who claimed to have developed a fruit- 
like tumor on her stomach. Foundation operatives were deployed 
and successfully able to intercept the broadcast. A cover story was 
fabricated under the guise of a hoax, while witnesses were 
administered Class-A amnestics before being released. Subagon 
was detained, questioned and kept in temporary containment for 
observation. Following the detachment of SCP-3552-A, Subagon 
was administered Class-C amnestics and released. 


Subagon had claimed to have hosted several instances of 
SCP-3552-A in the past, and that she had reason to believe the 
phenomenon had been caused by ingestion of SCP-3552. She 
claimed the seeds originated from Juagin's Fruit Farm, a small farm 
in Bulacan, Philippines. Upon investigation, several bags of 


SCP-458: The Never-Ending Pizza Box 


Item: SCP-458 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-458 is considered safe 
and therefore is to be stored in the staff canteen at Site 17, with no 
access restrictions required. 


Description: SCP-458 is a large-sized pizza box from the pizza 
chain Little Caesar's, of their Hot-n-Ready variety. It is made of 
simple cardboard, measures 25.4cmx25.4cmx2.54cm 
(10inx10inx1in), and weighs about 20 to 20.49 grams depending on 
toppings. As a result of the unusual nature of SCP-458, 
measurement of weight is inconsistent. 


What makes SCP-458 an oddity is that, while appearing to be an 
ordinary pizza box, when it comes into contact with human hands, it 
instantaneously replicates within it the holder's subconsciously 
preferred choice of pizza, down to the favorite sauce, cheese, crust, 
and topping. It is not limited to the Little Caesars brand, as pizza 
from all major pizza chains, as well as local and even handmade 
pizzas have been produced. There seems to be no limit to its ability, 
except that it cannot make anything but pizza, and its toppings must 
be edible by normal human standards (see Addendum 1a). The box 
is also rather indestructible, as all tests to destroy or dismantle the 
box have proven fruitless. 


It is assumed the box is semi-sentient, having at least enough 
telepathic or empathetic ability to sense what the holder's personal 
choices regarding pizza are. 


After constant testing showed SCP-458's seemingly infinite power to 
generate pizza (but with little other use), it has henceforth been 
placed inside the canteen at Site-17 for free use by personnel. After 
its open usage has been allowed, personnel morale has shown to 


SCP-3552 were discovered onsite. In addition, fifty-seven individuals 
were found to be shackled and bound onsite, thirteen of which were 
found to host instances of SCP-3552-A. Recovered individuals were 
detained, questioned and sedated before having SCP-3552-A 
instances surgically removed. Recovered individuals were 
administered Class-C amnestics and released. Official records state 
that the property is entitled to a Juaquin Bagosa Jr., now identified 
as POI-352. The location of POI-352 is currently unknown. 


SCP-3553: They All Go Into the Dark 


Item #: SCP-3553 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-3553 instances 
discovered are to be seized by the Foundation. Due to the 
impossibility of ever comprehensively finding all SCP-3553 
instances, it is not presently known how many SCP-3553-A 
instances currently exist. All SCP-3553-A instances are to be taken 
into Foundation custody. 


Attempts to protect SCP-3553-A instances from SCP-3553-B events 
have met with no success thus far. These attempts have centred 
around ensuring constant observation and physical contact with 
SCP-3553-A instances during the timespan given by SCP-3553 
instances of SCP-3553-B events. Researchers are currently 
investigating more advanced methods of SCP-3553-B prevention, 
such as the use of Scranton Reality Anchors. 


Description: SCP-3553 refers to a recurring phenomenon affecting 
cardboard milk cartons distributed in the United States of America 
and the United Kingdom. A total of nine SCP-3553 instances have 
been discovered so far. 


SCP-3553 manifests as a written message, usually accompanied by 
a photograph, concerning the disappearance of a child under the 
age of 16. It provides details of the disappearance such as the name 
of the child, age, appearance, location and date of the 
disappearance. The date of the disappearance is always several 
years into the future. The style of writing and presentation is 
somewhat reminiscent of the Milk Carton Appeal in the 1980s and 
1990s', but with some deviations, notably the absence of a phone 
number. The disappearances thus far have all occurred within the 
United Kingdom and the United States, countries in which the Milk 
Carton Appeal and similar initiatives took place. 


All of the children mentioned are real; they are henceforth referred to 
as SCP-3553-A instances. All of the disappearances mentioned 
occur on the specified date without fail; these are henceforth 
referred to as SCP-3553-B events. Attempting to observe an 
SCP-3553-B event has proved functionally impossible; all attempts 
to do so have resulted in some impediment to the observer's field of 
vision, although Foundation personnel have only been present at 
two three SCP-3553-B events as of 19/08/2016 08/07/2017. 


SCP-3553-A instances have occasionally signalled some 
foreknowledge of SCP-3553-B events in the moments immediately 
preceding their disappearance. 


SCP-3553 was first discovered on 05/09/1991, when a Foundation 
researcher coincidentally discovered an SCP-3553 instance while 
shopping in her local supermarket in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Due to 
this, and the fact that at least one SCP-3553-A instance is the child 
of a Foundation researcher, it is believed that the creators of 
SCP-3553 instances are aware of the Foundation's existence. The 
oldest SCP-3553 instance found seems to date from the mid-1970s, 
well before the Milk Carton Appeal began. 


+Incident Log 


Below is a list of all Known SCP-3553 instances and 
details concerning them. The list is ordered 
chronologically by presumed appearance of each 
SCP-3553 instance. 


SCP-3553-A instance: Jonathan Brown.

blonde hair, is 6 years old and is MISSING. 
She disappeared from Castlemorton Common 
in Worcestershire 7 days ago. She likes to 
draw. Please contact us now with any 
information. 


Details of SCP-3553-B event: On 
07/08/1985, Miss Cartwright and her parents 
were walking across Castlemorton Common. 
Miss Cartwright became suddenly agitated, 
and ran ahead of them. Her parents reported 
her writing in a notebook she often used for 
drawing while she was running. Sally 
momentarily left her parents’ field of vision, 
having run down a small slope; when her 
parents caught up with her, she could not be 
located. Only her clothes, her notebook and a 
pencil were left behind. On the final page of 
the notebook were written the words "their [sic] 
all dreaming down there". 


SCP-3553-A instance: Joanna Smith. DOB: 
08/12/1986. 


Date of SCP-3553 appearance: Circa 
05/09/1991, the date of discovery. 


SCP-3553 text: APPEAL TO ALL WHO HAVE 
INFORMATION. Joanna Smith went missing in 
Standard Humanoid Containment Cell 18 of 
Site 109 on 12/12/1996. She is 10 years old, 
4'1, with brown hair and green eyes. She likes 
to write poems and enjoys sunny days. 


Details of SCP-3553-B event: Joanna Smith 
was immediately taken into Foundation 
custody. She was interrogated, and found to 
know nothing about SCP-3553. She was kept 
in Standard Humanoid Containment Cell 18 of 
Site 109. At the time of her disappearance 
(14:43 on 12/12/1996), she was being 
observed in her cell by two Foundation agents; 
a power failure caused the lights and camera 
feed to go out, breaking the guards' vision of 
Miss Smith. After 5 seconds, the power was 
restored; the SCP-3553-B event had taken 
place. 


One of the guards- Agent Mullins- later 
reported hearing Miss Smith say "I don't like 
the dark" shortly before the power outage. 


SCP-3553-A instance: Ali Khan. Subject 
could not be located or identified. 


Date of SCP-3553 appearance: Circa
