hear voices, or animals, or any number of 
things that just aren't there. Some will wander 
off and get lost, they won't follow the ropes 
back up. Some will fall in a shaft or into a 
crevice, and you'll never see them again. Then 
it gets real quiet.

SCP-2952: Conveyance Of Regional Gwerin 
Internationally 


Item #: SCP-2952 
Object Class: Euclid Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Urban and suburban sections 
of SCP-2952 should be camouflaged appropriately according to their 
surrounding environment, or built directly into the walls or foundation 
of nearby buildings. Underwater sections of SCP-2952 are to be 
disguised as internet cables. Sections of SCP-2952 in rural or 
undeveloped areas are to be buried underground. 


As of 1/5/17, instances of SCP-2952-1 are to be exposed to allow 
travelers using SCP-2952 to depart and board. SCP-2952-1 
instances are to be remotely monitored so that civilians who 
encounter SCP-2952 can be detained and amnesticized. If an 
SCP-2952-1 instance is still in the process of being uncovered and 
set up for monitoring, a small meal of fruits, milk, nuts, wildflowers, 
and honey is to be left at the instance at each sunrise and sunset. 
The plate is to be accompanied by a note in Welsh politely 
apologizing for the inconvenience and providing a date for when the 
instance will be opened for transit. 


Though SCP-2952 does not require food or water, regular 
interaction and play with the head end of SCP-2952 is advisable to 
maintain emotional health, and is beneficial to onsite morale. 


Description: SCP-2952 is a male Pembroke Welsh Corgi 
measuring over 30,000 kilometers in length. The head and front legs 
of SCP-2952 are located in Portland, Oregon, while the hindquarters 
are located in a rural area of Japan's Kariwa District, weaving 
through the Americas, Europe, and much of Asia in between. 
SCP-2952 does not appear to age, nor does it require food or water. 
SCP-2952 will not move more than 5 meters from its original 
position, even if threatened or offered a reward. SCP-2952 will 


quickly regenerate from all damage done to it. One end will respond 
to stimuli from the other without the delay that would be expected 
due to its length. 


At certain areas along SCP-2952's length, small openings will form 
along its sides at regularly scheduled intervals - see Schedule- 
SCP-2952-1 for a full timetable. These locations are designated 
instances of SCP-2952-1. There are 324 known instances of 
SCP-2952-1: some are located in major cities, others in suburban or 
rural areas. The formation of these holes does not seem to harm or 
adversely affect SCP-2952. When these openings appear, 
humanoid beings will exit SCP-2952. These entities, designated 
SCP-2952-2, are on average 3 centimeters high and cannot be 
viewed directly - they must be photographed or filmed, though 
physical evidence of their presence such as shadows or footprints 
can be observed. 


After the first group exits, a different group of SCP-2952-2 will 
appear and enter into the same opening. The opening will then seal 
until the next scheduled event. The same instance of SCP-2952-2 
can be seen entering at one SCP-2952-1 location and departing at 
another. Openings on the dextrous side of SCP-2952 take 
passengers west, while those on the sinistrous side take passengers 
east. The average documented speed of SCP-2952 appears to be 
120 kilometers per hour, not accounting for stops at SCP-2952-1 
instances. 


The burying of many of the SCP-2952-1 instances stopped 
SCP-2952-2 from entering or exiting SCP-2952. Three days after all 
SCP-2952 instances were buried, Project Director Stevens 
disappeared from his apartment, with an adult European mole left in 
his place. Over the next three weeks, 17 of the construction workers 
responsible for burying SCP-2952-1 instances woke to find the walls 
of their houses had been replaced by a mixture of poison ivy and 
deathcap mushrooms. After two months, Researcher Mills, who had 
been in charge of testing the regenerative properties of SCP-2952, 
woke up with poisonous nightshade berries in his mouth, and stakes 
of hawthorn driven through his hands and feet. 


The anomalous events were theorized to be the work of the 
SCP-2952-2 population. In response, a plan to appease 


SCP-354: The Red Pool 


Item #: SCP-354 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-354's immobile 
nature, Area-354 has been built around it. Area-354 houses forces 
and D-class personnel prepared to deal with threats emerging from 
SCP-354, as well as researchers studying SCP-354 and its 
properties. For their own safety, no on-site personnel are to 
approach SCP-354 at any time. Direct interaction with SCP-354 is 
permitted only for the purpose of research to eliminate SCP-354 and 
must be approved by O5 personnel. 


Area-354 was constructed to contain and neutralize any and all 
further threats emerging from SCP-354. At the heart of Area-354, a 
twenty (20) foot wall of concrete reinforced with [DATA EXPUNGED] 
has been constructed around SCP-354 to prevent emerging entities 
from escaping into the area at large. High-speed motion detection 
cameras are placed atop the wall looking down into the pool, and 
armed guards can easily shoot down into the enclosure from 
catwalks placed above the pool. 


Description: SCP-354 is a pool of red liquid discovered in northern 
Canada. The liquid is of a consistency similar to that of human blood 
(hence the colloquial name Blood Pond) but is not of a biological 
nature. The pool does not have definite banks; soil mixes with the 
liquid until, at a certain point, there is more soil than liquid and the 
ground is mostly solid. The liquid becomes denser as one descends 
deeper into the pool; if the pool has a bottom, it has yet to be 
reached. 


Periodically, entities emerge from the pool and attempt to escape 
from the enclosure. Thus far, nearly all creatures emerging from 
SCP-354 have been extremely hostile and highly dangerous. 


SCP-2952-2 was devised using information collated from relevant 
myths, leading to the current protocol for unburying and monitoring 
instances of SCP-2952-1 - implemented December 9th, 2016. 


Two weeks later, the mole disappeared from its containment area 
and was replaced with Director Stevens, and the poison ivy and 
mushrooms disappeared from the homes of the construction 
workers.! Security footage showed that during the retrieval and 
detaining of civilians who saw SCP-2952, there were instances of 
SCP-2952-2 following the Foundation agents and observing their 
actions closely. 


On January 5th, 2017, SCP-2952 became visually imperceptible to 
all humans not under the Foundation's employ, in an identical 
manner to that of SCP-2952-2. In addition, instances of SCP-2952-2 
are now visible to Foundation employees, though not to civilians. As 
such, SCP-2952 has now been reclassified as Safe. 


Addendum: 


On January 9th, 2017, Director Stevens had a note left on his desk 
by a starling, which flew out a window before it could be caught. The 
text of the note, translated from Welsh, is as follows: 


Thank you for your prompt response to commuter 
complaints and wonderful customer service. As such, we 
have granted all members of your organization 
complimentary transportation on our C.O.R.G.I. system. 
Please send a sparrow to the Council of the Sidhe office 
nearest you if you have further questions.

The Council of the Tylwyth Teg 


Agent Davies' ride on SCP-2952 can be found under Exploration 
Log SCP-2952 Alpha. 


Exploration Log SCP-2952 Alpha 


Opening Information: Agent Davies entered 
SCP-2952 at the closest SCP-2952-1 to the 


head, and was directed to depart at the next 
SCP-2952-1 instances, where a transport 
team was waiting for her. All material inside 
SCP-2952 was written in Welsh, and 
SCP-2952-2 instances also spoke only Welsh. 
Agent Elizabeth Davies was selected for the 
mission in part due to her fluency in Welsh. 
Log begins at 10:28. 


<BEGIN LOG> 


(Agent Davies touches SCP-2952 and 
immediately begins decreasing in size.) 


Agent Davies: What on earth - okay. 
Shrinkage seems proportional? Well, let's 
hope it's proportional, for my sake. (Agent 
Davies chuckles.) None of the typical 
detrimental side effects you see with other 
SCPs that cause shrinkage. And... noting that 
end height appears to be 3.2 centimeters tall. 
Control, can you still hear me? 


Mission Control: We can hear you perfectly, 
Agent. 


Agent Davies: All right then. Tech isn't 
affected by the shift, either. Good to know. 
Doors should open at 10:35, yes? 


Mission Control: That's correct. 


(Agent Davies waits, during which time six 
instances of SCP-2952-2 join her. A male 
instance of SCP-2952-2 approaches her.) 


Mission Control: You are clear to engage in 
conversation if needed, Agent Davies. 


(Agent Davies does not respond verbally, but 
discretely makes a thumbs-up gesture in view 


of the body camera.) 


Instance 2-A: Hope this thing isn't late again. | 
tried to make it to the glade in time for midnight 
at the solstice, missed it by six minutes. All the 
ingredients for A Harvest's Bane incantation - 
gone to seed. 


Agent Davies: Do you know why it's been 
late? 


2-A: Some kind of internal blockage. Poor 
thing's got kidney stones, | hear.3 


(The openings along SCP-2952's side appear 
at 10:41, and nine instances of SCP-2952-2 
exit. Agent Davies enters SCP-2952, whereby 
all communication with Mission Control cuts 
off. The interior of SCP-2952 looks similar to a 
subway car. The walls, ceiling and floor appear 
to be constructed of birch bark wrapped 
around thin twigs. The walls are lined with 
seats, which are cushioned with a variety of 
flower petals. Many of the seats are in 
disrepair. There are 42 instances of 
SCP-2952-2 aboard the car, filling around two 
thirds of the available seats. Agent Davies 
takes a seat across from Instance 2-A. The 
doors close, and the car begins to move. A 
slightly distorted voice begins to speak, with no 
discernible source.) 


Voice: Now departing from Three Portlands.4 
Next stop, West Coast Rainforest. 


(Agent Davies observes her surroundings. 
Posted on the upper walls are advertisements 
for an organic oakmoss tincture, a religious 
organization practicing a variant of Paganism, 
a horror movie featuring SCP-2323 entitled 
"STRIKE OF THE SHRIKE!" and the premiere 


of a new children's cartoon featuring 
SCP-2952 called "The Global Adventures of 
the Great Grady!" Also visible are various 
forms of graffiti - including multiple messages 
such as "BROWNIES SUK, GO BACK TO 
YOUR GLENS," and an image resembling 
SCP-2547. An instance of SCP-2952-2 further 
down the car begins playing "Lady 
Greensleeves" on a flute loudly and off key). 


Unknown: Shut the hell up, will you!? 


(A baby begins crying. Another instance of 
SCP-2952-2 throws a thorn at the flutist, who 
promptly ceases playing. After some time, an 
elderly female instance of SCP-2952-2, 
designated Instance 2-B, approaches Agent 
Davies while holding a scroll.) 


Instance 2-B: Excuse me dear, would you 
mind signing this petition? It's attempting to 
revoke the new law saying that mice are no 
longer allowed on board. So unfair! Just a 
signature, dear, that's all | need - not even a 
true name. 


Agent Davies: Er... Apologies, Miss, but I'm 
not a citizen. 


Instance 2-B: | see. Very well. Would you 
mind if | sit? 


Agent Davies: Not at all. 


(Instance 2-B takes the seat next to Agent 
Davies and begins knitting using two thorns as 
needles. At the far end of the car, a male 
instance of SCP-2952-2 takes out a package 
wrapped in leaves and unwraps it, revealing a 
mushroom of unknown species. The instance 
begins loudly consuming the mushroom. 


Based on the facial expressions of other 
passengers, the mushroom is quite pungent in 
odor. Instance 2-B leans over to Agent 
Davies.) 


Instance 2-B: Now, if they were going to ban 
something truly unpleasant... 


(Agent Davies laughs.) 


Voice: Now approaching West Coast 
Rainforest. 


(Agent Davies stands. When the car stops, 
she exits along with instances 2-A, 2-B, and 
twelve others. Agent Davies approaches 
SCP-2952 and pats its side.) 


Agent Davies: Good boy. 


(Agent Davies is returned to normal size. 
Communication resumes. She crouches over 
the departing crowd, spots Instance 2-B, and 
waves farewell before departing for the 
transport vehicle.) 


<END LOG> 


Footnotes 

1. Researcher Mills' wounds were not healed - it is theorized that 
this was retaliation by instances of SCP-2952-2 for injuring 
SCP-2952 in the course of studying its abilities. 

2. Referred to as Instance 2-A in the log for brevity. 

3. Subsequent scans revealed the presence of two moderately sized 
kidney stones near the New Delhi SCP-2952-1 instance. The 
Foundation is currently halting service at that stop for a week to 
allow for surgery and recovery. 

4. There is no instance of SCP-2952-1 located in Three Portlands, 
but the stop where Agent Davies boarded is only 5 km away from an 
entrance to Three Portlands.

SCP-2953: Polymorphism-Inducing Rocks 


Item #: SCP-2953 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2953 and all fragments 
extracted from it are to be kept in a storage locker at Site-44. 
Personnel are to don gloves while handling SCP-2953 and its 
pieces, and refrain from direct contact with it. Exceptions are 
allowed for test subjects during testing. 


Description: SCP-2953 collectively refers to one boulder with an 
approximate resemblance to a female humanoid and the fragments 
extracted from said boulder. At time of recovery, the mass of the 
boulder is approximately 45 kg. Chemical composition of SCP-2953 
consists of a mixture of carbon (~70%), calcium (~25%), and 
phosphorus (~5%). 


When a human makes direct contact with SCP-2953 (hereon 
referred to as subject’), he/she undergoes the following 
transfigurations: 


¢ Lengthening of the coccyx, often protruding from the 
epidermis. 

¢ Increment in pheomelanin in subject's hair. 

¢ Abnormal hair growth throughout subject's body. 

¢ Elongation of the face such that a snout is formed. 

¢ Transformation of hands and feet into paw-like appendages. 

¢ Increased production of estrogen in subject, often causing 
breast development. 

¢ Growth of extra teats (up to four per breast) on the breast. 


The extent of these transfigurations is the most potent near the 
area(s) where SCP-2953 has contact with the subject's body. 
Transfigurations are more prominent and occur at an increased rate 
in female subjects than male subjects. While not inherently lethal, 


health complications are highly likely to arise due to inability of the 
subject's body to cope with these sudden transfigurations.
