Dr. Dividsky was found after 13 days of self-mutilation, 
having removed two fingers and all the fingernails on his 
left hand using a masonry chisel, a large section of his 
hair by force, sections of his tongue with a pair of 
scissors, 18 of his teeth with a dentistry scalpel and was 
only discovered by neighbours while cutting into the back 
of his head with an angle grinder. He also suffered 
numerous lacerations.

+ Access, evidence file: UK, Shetland: Ryan Ellis (66) - 
455th instance 


Ryan Ellis (66 years), a retired scaffolder from Scotland 
was prescribed with SCP-3273 after complaints about 
recurring back-ache and arthritis. SCP-3273 was 


prescribed as an ingestible tablet pack, imitating a well- 
known brand of tramadol. Due to his condition, he was 
advised to take SCP-3273 once every five hours. 


Approximately 59 hours after initial exposure, Ryan Ellis 
was found dead by his son (43 years) in his own home. 
Medical inspection of Ryan Ellis revealed 27 individual 
5.5cm nails embedded inside his skull, presumed to be 
fired from a nailgun. It is currently unknown how he 
survived long enough to unload all 27 nails, due to the 
damaging path of impact that many followed. 3 individual 
nails were observed to have passed through the frontal 
lobe and stopped halfway through the amygdala. 


Further inspection of Ryan Ellis proves that his situation 
was not uncoordinated and unprovoked. It appears that, 
due to his positioning in front of a mirror, and relative 
focus of all projectiles fired from the nailgun towards 
roughly the centre of his brain, Ryan Ellis was aiming at 
something within his head.

+ Access, evidence file: USA, Arizona: Jason Lister (48) - 
167th instance 


Jason Lister (48 years), an arable farmer from rural 
Arizona, was prescribed SCP-3273 after suffering third- 
degree burns from an electrical accident, in which the 
ploughing tractor he was driving caught on overhead 
power lines. SCP-3273 was prescribed in the form of 
general anaesthetic imitating heroin while used in skin 
surgery, exposed in a nebulised state for controlled 
inhaling of the substance. 


Jason was found dead 68 hours after exposure with a 
large perforation through his forehead. Initially, those 
who discovered his body assumed that this was an act of 
suicide, and that Jason Lister had fired a handgun at his 
own head. Later inspection by pathologists and medical 
staff revealed that the hole through Jason Lister's head 


had been inflicted not by a bullet but by an electric drill, 
and concluded that the death was not caused by suicide 
but by attempted trepanning, for unknown causes. 


When the Foundation gained Jason Lister's body for 
analysis, the perforation was observed to extend 15cm 
into his head - much further than the depth used while 
trepanning through the outer-skull. The cavity caused by 
the drill was aimed directly through the brain, removing 
parts of the frontal lobe and the entire amygdala. 


Jason Lister was suspected to have become aware of 
his condition after burning himself on a kettle shortly 
before his death. Inspection of the scene and his body 
indicates that Jason, shortly after discovering this, 
poured the entire contents of the kettle over his left arm.

+ Access, evidence file: Hannover, Germany: Elise Rachmel (23) - 
87th instance 


Elise Rachmel (23), found homeless due to narcotics 
abuse, presumably gained access to an injectable form 
of SCP-3273 imitating heroin through illegal drug trade. It 
is suspected that due to the nature and obscurity of her 
death she may have also been operating on 
psychoactive or hallucinogenic agents at the time. 


Elise was stopped by police while caught repeatedly 
striking her exposed forehead against the entrance wall 
of a public library while in a hallucinogenic state. 
Witnesses report seeing her hit the wall ‘at least fifteen 
times’. Elise was hospitalised after falling unconscious 
and later expired from massive bleeding in the brain. 
Observation of her injuries note the complete crushing of 
the upper-nose, and direction of impacts towards the 
centre of the forehead. 


Addendum 3273-e | Evidence File 3273-5 


+ Access, evidence file: Report from Ethiopian Wildlife Sanctuary 


Wildlife Sanctuary, Ethiopia, documented 
extensively the effects of tranquilisation of a large adult 
male barbary lion. It is suspected that the tranquiliser 
substance applied contained SCP-3273, imitating a 
widely-distributed form of carfentanil. 


Staff at the preserve report observing the adult lion 
"tearing at the skin on [it's] scalp, like [it] was trying to 
open its own head". These effects were observed almost 
immediately after the lion regained consciousness. This 
is suspected to be because of the extreme overdose of 
SCP-3273 the lion experienced while the substance was 
applied as a tranquiliser. The adult male lion died from 
blood-loss as staff at the sanctuary failed to intervene. 


Addendum 3273-f | Notice & References 
Request Note from Dr. Foster addressing Dr. White 


Christ, this is fucked-up, Ryan. This isn't some fucking 
indestructible lizard or inter-dimensional paedophile - 
these people are doing this to themselves. SCP-3273 
isn't a psychoactive; and it doesn't seem to display any 
manipulative qualities, so what the fuck is going on? 


And why are they calling it ‘enlightenment’? This isn't a 
religious cult. | haven't seen any of them gather to burn 
any crosses, but they're still trepanning themselves like 
there's no tomorrow. 


Jesus Christ, Ryan. | think we need to pay more 
attention to this one. 


Notice from Dr. White addressing Dr. Foster 


They're connected. We've been getting it wrong the 
entire time. 


SCP-3273 isn't the manual; it's the tool to do so. God 
knows what monster they will make if they remove the 


amygdala. 


I've enacted neutralisation of all instances of 
SCP-3273-1. What we're seeing is just the first step - 
they'll continue until they've cut everything that hurts out 
of them. Can you imagine what they will become? Christ- 
they can't even argue because they can't hate me. They 
can't fear death so they don't bother living. What's next? 
What else do they no longer want to feel? I'm not acting 
out of spite for the troubles they have caused us - this is 


pity. 


SCP-3274: Nowhere Else To Run 


Item #: SCP-3274 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Agents should be assigned to 
monitor the general population for SCP-3274 instances. Particular 
focus should be paid to itinerant individuals and groups, refugees 
and other undocumented populations. Agents should be granted a 
large degree of autonomy and minimal records should be kept of 
their activity and methods. 


SCP-3274 instances can be identified by their unfamiliarity with their 
surroundings and more general amnesia, with suspected instances 
being confirmed by medical and genetic assessment. All instances 
are to be contained at Site-O6-3 under standard humanoid 
containment protocols. 


Gathering information related to SCP-3274-A should be made a high 
priority. For this purpose all SCP-3274 instances should be 
interviewed using any and all techniques with a possibility of 
circumventing the amnestic block. All communication with and 
experimentation on SCP-3274 is currently prohibited. 


Description: SCP-3274 are adult humans who originate from an 
unknown point in our future timeline. The earliest identified arrival 
time is 1941 and arrivals are projected to continue to occur into our 
own future. All known instances have been extremely effectively 
amnesticised prior to their arrival here with virtually all memory of 
their point of origin absent. The sole known exception to this is 
related to SCP-3274-A. The amnestic methods which have been 
used are significantly more advanced than any currently known to 
the Foundation and have thus far proven resistant to all anti- 
amnestic techniques. Access to all information recovered by anti- 
amnestic techniques is currently prohibited. Personnel of clearance 
level 3/3274 or higher should view attached Interview Series 872 for 


further details. 


Memories retained by SCP-3274 instances consist primarily of 
practical information related to their time and place of arrival. This 
information is typically very limited as well as outdated and 
geographically inaccurate, suggesting a lack of precision in their 
transportation method. Additionally, all Known instances retain a 
specific memory relating to their motivation for transportation, with 
only slight variation between instances. The retained memory 
consists of the individual speaking to themself, claiming that the 
world will be unavoidably destroyed along with all human life and 
that retreat into the past is their only chance of survival. The cause 
of the destruction referenced here has been designated SCP-3274- 
A. 


Instances report that the message also includes a plea not to 
attempt to reverse their amnesia or alter future events. All known 
instances express a certainty of the validity of these memories and 
they have been verified by all means known to the Foundation of 
detecting false or artificially generated memories. 


SCP-3274 often attempt to evade containment but are usually easily 
identified due to their lack of social connections and documentation 
in addition to their general amnesia. In particular, instances display 
both a complete lack of personal history and ignorance of local 
customs and recent events. However, the longer instances go 
before identification the more they assimilate and the harder they 
can become to identify. 


In additional to their abnormal behaviour, suspected SCP-3274 
instances can be distinguished from the general population by 
physiological and genetic abnormalities including fine surgical 
scarring along the cranium, the absence of the genes involved in 
most currently known genetic diseases and alterations to gamete 
formation rendering them incapable of reproduction. See 
[REDACTED] for the full medical and genetic profile. 


There are instances of SCP-3274 currently in Foundation 
custody, and an unknown number currently uncontained. 


Interview Series 872: Access to transcript available only to clearance 


The following transcripts are based on recovered audio 
recordings and medical data. Access to the full audio 
and video recordings is currently prohibited as they have 
not yet been determined to be free of cognitohazards. 


Interview 872-17: 12/03/2017 
Interviewed: SCP-3274-872. Originally 
discovered in Baghdad, Iraq in June 2003. 


Interviewer: Dr. Shahid. 


Foreword: The primary goal of this interview 
was to establish the exact nature of 
SCP-3274-A and identify preventative 
measures which could be taken. 


The subject was selected due to displaying 
high resistance to the negative effects of 
mnestic therapy! and unusual willingness to 
co-operate with the memory retrieval process. 


Prior to the interview the subject was 
administered the newly developed mnestic 
compound AQUA-RED. This was in the form 
of an escalating dose regimen delivered over 
12 weeks designed to stimulate long term 
memory recall. See [REDACTED] for the full 
treatment profile. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Shahid: Hello, my name is Dr Shahid and | 
will be conducting all interviews for your 
treatment group from now on. Recently, you 
and some of the others have indicated you've 
experienced partial memory recovery, are you 
able to discuss that with us today? 


SCP-3274-872: Yes. | don't know why | chose 
to forget before but | want to remember now. 
I'm not one to run from a fight and | hate the 


idea that | chose this, to abandon everything 
just to save myself. | need to know why. 


Dr. Shahid: | understand. Now please begin 
by telling us who you were before you arrived 
here. 


SCP-3274-872: My name was Amira 
Muhammed and | was born in the free state of 
Texas in2 .1!worked as a Class 3 Technician 
at Foundation Site Gimel-Thaumiel2. 


Dr. Shahid: Yes, that fits with what several of 
the others reported, it seems that many of you 
worked for the Foundation in some capacity. 
We'll return to that subject but for now I'd like 
you to talk to me about SCP-3274-A, the threat 
that led to your transportation to this time. 


SCP-3274-872:1 want to help but it's hard. My 
memories are coming back but they don't 
cohere, there's parts missing. There's some 
things | can remember like they're right here in 
front of me but when | try to think of what 
happened at the end there's nothing. 
Sometimes | feel like | can almost see it but 
then it slips away, like a dream after waking 


up. 


Dr. Shahid: Any memories are an 
improvement right now and I'm sure we can 
help you remember everything with time. What 
about your work with the Foundation then, do 
you remember anything that could help us? 


SCP-3274-872: I'll tell you all | can but | don't 
think it will help, not in the way you want it to. 
The Foundation | worked for wasn't the same 
as the one that exists now. There'd been too 
many Keters found and too many close calls 
so after SCP- _metastasised it was clear 


things had to change. More SCPs got 
classified Thaumiel and testing became more 
aggressive. By the time | was recruited we'd 
began building our own anomalies, really 
starting to fight back against the chaos. 


Dr. Shahid: Is that related to why you travelled 
back? Did you create an anomaly that couldn't 
be contained? 


SCP-3274-872: No, | don't think it was 
something we made but... it does feel 
connected. 


Dr. Shahid: Talk to me about your work then. 
Is there anything useful you do remember? 


SCP-3274-872: | worked on something they 
called the Retrocausal Transmission Engine. 
Time travel basically, not that | ever really 
understood it. | was low level, strictly 
mechanical operation with no access to the 
underlying theory. | do know it was supposed 
to save the world, be the ultimate reset button 
to fix all our mistakes. But it didn't work right. 


The rules were complicated and it seemed no 
One understood them. We could travel back 
easily enough but we couldn't change anything 
on a large scale. Little things sure, but any 
attempt to alter the big picture ended in failure. 
Unintended side-effects, the same events 
happening for different reasons or even just 
unprovoked mechanical failure. Before, when | 
said | didn't think what | told you could help? 
That's what | meant. 


Dr. Shahid: | appreciate your concern but we 
still need information. You said earlier that 
your work felt connected to SCP-3274-A, was 
it caused by the time-travel somehow? 


unidentified vagrant in , United Kingdom. Agents had been 
sent to investigate reports of a "bridge troll", which was revealed to 
be the aforementioned vagrant in phase 5 of SCP-420-2. The 
vagrant's skin appeared to be using SCP-420 to create and drink 
SCP-420-1 constantly through its mouths, although its primary 
sustenance came via refuse, local pets, and [REDACTED]. The 
vagrant was collected and designated SCP-420-a. SCP-420-a 
perished during experimentation on / /2010 and was incinerated 
after autopsy.
