SCP-2728-1: Well, after | saw the street corner, and 
reported | saw the street corner, there was a long pause 
from the research team's end. They didn't say anything 
for a while. But then, then they did, and | came back. 
What else do you want me to say? 


Dr. Hillenburg: Absolutely anything you can say about 
the incident. 


SCP-2728-1: What incident? | was not informed! 


Dr. Hillenburg: Please remain calm, we don't do 
anything without reason. 


SCP-2728-1: (Pauses) Fine, it's fine. Ok. There's one 
other thing. When | saw the street corner, | got a 
headrush. Y'know, vision goes fuzzy, hearing is muffled. 
You get them all the time when you stand up too fast or 
something. Is that what you wanted to hear? 


Dr. Hillenburg: That is exactly what | wanted to hear. 
Thank you for your cooperation. 


<End Log> 


After the log, Agent LaFerrier was informed of the incident, and 
placed in a normal human containment cell. Agent LaFerrier 
resisted, but ultimately allowed himself to be contained. 


EDIT: After a week, Agent LaFerrier has been let out of 
containment, and has taken back his previous position. It is still 
largely unknown if Agent LaFerrier is anomalous. Agent LaFerrier 
continues to be heavily monitored. 


Addendum-2728-2: On April , 20 , a bright flashing light shone 
through the windows of SCP-2728 at 21:00. After initial observation, 
it was shortly discovered to be Morse code. The following is a 


transcription of the Morse code, beginning shortly after the light 
started flashing.

An SCP-2728-A individual, identical to Agent LaFerrier, has been 
seen working in SCP-2728 since the incident. It is assumed this 
SCP-2728-A individual is the same seen during the LaFerrier test, 
and the one that sent Morse code. 


Addendum-2728-3: On May _ , 20 ,a bright flashing light shone 
through the windows of SCP-2728 at 21:00, similar to the previous 
event. Staff already at the viewpoint were able to catch the message 
in its entirety. The following is a transcription.

will not react to viewers’ actions, nor deviate at all from the previous 
viewing. A disc, once played, always contains the same footage, 
regardless of who is watching it. The only way to communicate with 
SCP-315-1 is to insert a disc that has never been watched. Given 
that there are 95 discs, each containing three hours of video, it 
follows that SCP-315-1 has an effective lifespan of 285 hours, or 
11.8 days, not including footage that has already been watched. It 
should also be noted that SCP-315 is not the complete set of discs. 
Five others are known to exist. It is known that all missing discs 
have already been fully viewed. 


SCP-315-1 is cognizant of the nature of his own existence. When 
questioned, he is aware that he is being displayed on a television 
screen or monitor, and can reliably identify the type, size, and color 
of the device on which he is shown. When directly asked about his 
specific nature, however, SCP-315-1 will not give a straight answer, 
preferring to draw the viewer into a discussion or debate. It is not 
clear whether SCP-315-1 is withholding information about his origin, 
or whether he is uncertain himself. He claims the former, stating that 
to tell us everything would "spoil the game". He neither 
demonstrates nor admits to any unhappiness with his situation, nor 
his short lifespan. 


SCP-315-1 retains memory between discs. If one viewer interacts 
with an unwatched disc, then switches to another disc, SCP-315-1 
will recognise the viewer and refer to a previous conversation. 
SCP-315-1 has even shown signs of developing a rapport and 
friendship with those researchers who have spent a lot of time 
talking with him. 


Attached: Document 315-a - A collection of relevant excerpts from 
interviews with SCP-315-1. Recommended reading for 
familiarization with this subject. 


Addendum 315-01: 
Experimented to see how SCP-315-1 responds to basic video 
playback functions. 


Pause: Entire scene paused, including SCP-315-1. When resumed,

SCP-2729: What is it Good For? 


Item #: SCP-2729 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2729 is described to the 
public as a rare and unusual psychological phenomenon affecting 
war veterans. Foundation fronts (namely Sherman Charleston's 
Psychological Institute) will claim to be researching the condition, 
and publish faux articles describing said research at random 
intervals, preferably not more than once a year. Sherman 
Charleston's Psychological Institute (or SCPI) will work with the US 
Department of Health and Human Services to document all cases of 
individuals affected by SCP-2729, and encourage those affected to 
seek aid from SCPI. Individuals who do not come to SCPI should be 
covertly surveyed for any unusual behavior, or for suspicion of 
anomalous means.

The flag flown by SCP-2729-B, as sketched by Patient-12. 
The flag flown by SCP-2729-C, as sketched by Patient-12. 


Description: SCP-2729 is a phenomenon that may! affect any 
individual that has been exposed to combat situations in person for 
at least a one-week period throughout their lifetime, and has 
traveled the Pacific Ocean by boat. Individuals with combat training 
may also be affected if they maintain regular contact with a subject 
affected by the primary vector. Affected individuals will claim to see 
transparent monochrome soldiers, officials, and military equipment 
with varying levels of clarity based on combat experience2. Reports 
of how the instances act and how the equipment is used is 
consistent between subjects. All objects seen this way are 
transparent, intangible, and silent. 


Objects and subjects seem to correspond to three different warring 
nations, and are seen in and around the Pacific Ocean. The theater 
of war extends as far east as the Californian coasts, and as far west 
as China. Supplies (food, guns, vehicles, soldiers, etc.) appear to 
come from within buildings that are unable to be entered, due to the 
intangible nature of SCP-27298. Each warring nation, and their 
people, is designated SCP-2729-A, -B, and -C. SCP-2729-A is 
based in the city of Khabarovsk, Russia; SCP-2729-B is based in 
the city of Prince Rupert, Canada; SCP-2729-C is based in the city 
of Hilo, Hawaii. 


SCP-2729-A soldiers wear uniforms adorned with symbols of 
various stylized suns. The flag flown by SCP-2729-A is a large circle 
surrounded by three larger concentric circles. SCP-2729-B soldiers 
wear uniforms adorned with symbols of various stylized stars. The 
flag flown by SCP-2729-B is a checker pattern of 12 stars with 
different numbers of points. SCP-2729-C soldiers wear uniforms 
adorned with symbols of various stylized moons. The flag flown by 
SCP-2729-C is a minimalist rabbit design with a small circle 
(assumed to be the moon) in the top right corner. 


Soldiers and officials of all nations exhibit inhuman behaviors 
including a lack of facial expression, unfocused eyes, lack of 
speech4, an atypical reaction to pain, and the inability to biologically 
die. If a soldier sustains damage that would kill a human being, they 
will fall limp indefinitely. However, blood loss does not seem to affect 
their normal bodily functions. After falling, their eyes can still move, 
they will continue to breathe unless damage was done to the lungs, 
and they will never decompose. If a body is retrievable, field medics 
from the corresponding nation will often find and remove remains. 
Where these remains are taken and what is done with them is 
currently unknown9. 


Addendum | Temporary Neutralization 

On 3/13/1989, starting at 11:48 Pacific Standard Time (around the 
time of a massive geomagnetic storm), SCP-2729 became inactive. 
Agent LaFerrier, who was viewing a military base controlled by 
SCP-2729-A 3 km outside of Bend, Oregon along with the affected 
D-237238, reported that the anomaly had "disappeared". LaFerrier 
elaborated and confirmed with D-237238 that all soldiers, officials, 


and buildings had suddenly ceased to exist. At 1:36, the 
accompanying research team reported that Agent LaFerrier and 
D-237238 had both held their heads, vocalized intense pain, and 
fainted simultaneously. Agent LaFerrier and D-237238 both 
regained consciousness within three hours, and further research of 
the anomaly has discovered that the anomaly has since "restarted"; 
each nation was found to have only a headquarters® and a single 
military base within 5 km of that location. 


Sherman Charleston's Psychological Institute discovered within the 
year that all still living recorded affected individuals had experienced 
similar occurrences, reporting that they had suffered a "horrible 
headache and then fainted early in the afternoon on the thirteenth"’. 


EDIT 8/31/ : Since this initial reset, several more 
similar events have occurred. Following is a list of such 
occurrences, as of the time of writing: 

8/ /1989: Temporary disappearance, but status of the 
war was not reset. Affected individuals experienced 
headaches. 

7/ /2000: Full reset. 

10/ /2003: Full reset. 

1/ /2005: Temporary disappearance.8 

1//2007: Full reset. 

11/ /2010: Temporary disappearance. 

10/ /2012: Temporary disappearance. 

5/ /2014: Full reset. 

4//2015: Full reset. 

9/ /2016: Temporary disappearance. 

3/ /2017: Full reset. 

8/ /2017: Temporary disappearance. 


Addendum | Highly Unusual Behavior 

On 8/25/2017, Agent LaFerrier, affected by SCP-2729 and reporting 
to a research team, was viewing a battle between SCP-2729-B and 
SCP-2729-C in the streets of San Diego. Several SCP-2729-B 
soldiers were using a Pizzeria Luigi on El Cajon Blvd. as a shelter. 
One such soldier had a pencil and paper, and was apparently writing 
a letter. Agent LaFerrier recorded the letter as best she could. 


Dear Dear, 


I'm on the front lines. Love you. I'm shooting. Love you. 
Miss you. .;@3d died yesterday. Sad. I'm sad. Sweetie! 
Saw him die. I'm sad. Miss you. How're the kids? They're 
great. | love them. | love you. | miss you. Sweetie! .;@3d 
was a good soldier. He killed. He died. | love my kids. 
Jeff and Bill. And Bill. Bill was always a good soldier. Bill 
died yesterday. I'm sad. | shot him. He died. Miss you. 


Yours, Jeff 


During the writing, the other soldiers had gathered behind the writing 
soldier. The instance stood up without facing the other soldiers, and 
began to cry9. All others drew rifles and opened fire on the writing 
soldier. The remains were then thrown into the street where 
SCP-2729-C soldiers also shot into the body. A soldier in the 
pizzeria crumpled and ate the letter. Such an occurrence has never 
been seen since. 


Addendum | SCP-2729-A Victory 

Following several successful war campaigns on the part of 
SCP-2729-A against SCP-2728-B, an army of -A made it to the 
headquarters of SCP-2729-B and successfully "killed" all soldiers 
and officials, adopting their HQ as a secondary base of operations. 
Two months later, on 10/10/2017, Agent LaFerrier and D-309918 
viewed a battle between SCP-2729-A and SCP-2729-C in Hilo, 
Hawaii (SCP-2729-C's base of operations). After heavy casualties 
on both sides, SCP-2729-A soldiers finally overtook the 
headquarters proceeding three days of battle. Once inside the HQ, 
they were able to extract an SCP-2729-C official (assumed to be the 
leader of SCP-2729-C) out of the building and publicly execute him 
on 10/13/2017, 7:12. Afterwards, SCP-2729-A soldiers stood still for 
two hours, rocking slightly back and forth. 


At 9:32, on 10/13/2017, -A instances began to look at their 
surroundings, some with confused expressions. Another 15 minutes 
passed before Agent LaFerrier reported seeing some instances 
"moseying about" and looking at the remains of dead and wounded 
soldiers. D-309918 reported seeing some groups of soldiers that 
appeared to freeze mid-motion, and unfreeze at random intervals. 
After another 30 minutes, the instances that executed the rival 
leader of SCP-2729-C knelt down and turned the body over. At this 


same time, soldiers were seen cradling dead SCP-2729-A and -C 
instances in their arms. A select amount of soldiers were also seen 
rapidly changing position and repeating actions. In another 5 
minutes, the soldier who executed the leader of SCP-2729-C began 
to cry, which prompted most other soldiers to begin doing the same. 
The few soldiers that this did not affect began to draw weapons and 
open fire on the crying soldiers, who put up little to no resistance. 


At this moment, SCP-2729 reset. 


Footnotes 

1. Calculated to be a <0.005% chance, or about 1 in 20000. This 
data was collected from a survey led by Sherman Charleston's 
Psychological Institute, which found 23 affected war veterans in the 
US, and an additional 4 miscellaneous affected individuals. 

2. Apparitions becomes clearer the more combat an individual has 
experienced. 

3. Attempting to step into these buildings will make the building 
disappear until the subject has stepped out of the building's area. 
4. If instances communicate at all, it is suggested that they do so 
telepathically. 

5. Trenches and bunkers are visible but unable to be entered, so 
these remains are at some point untraceable. 

6. All found in their previous locations, see paragraph 2 of the 
description. 

7. Patient-08,E W 

8. Up until this point, resets were thought to be connected to solar 
storms, but all events past this point seem to occur independent of 
solar activity. Research ongoing. 

9. The only reported instance of this happening, as of the time of 
writing.

SCP-2730:QUACK-QUACK 


Item #: SCP-2730 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2730 is contained in a 
standard humanoid containment cell in Site-42. The Gilbert Gottfried 
in the public eye is a biological facsimile that must be monitored by a 
covert detail at all times. 


The mask made of Gilbert Gottfried's skin is currently in cold-storage 
in the Site-42 biotechnology laboratory. Skin cultures from the mask 
are to be harvested and used to generate biological facsimiles of 
Gilbert Gottfried via the Lilith Protocol. When the current active 
facsimile of Gottfried begins to degrade, it is to be discretely 
terminated and replaced by a new facsimile. If the current facsimile 
dies before degrading (such as by a heart attack or car crash) no 
further external protocols are required.
