Description: SCP-2866 is an approximately 3 meter tall piece of 
animate graffiti artwork. The art depicts an Asian male dressed in a 
hooded sweatshirt and jeans, painted with black spray paint. 
SCP-2866 is able to transfer itself to common building surfaces! as 
long as the surface is flush with or adjacent to the wall that 
SCP-2866 currently occupies. 


SCP-2866 is thought to possess some degree of sapience.? If not 
contained, it will seek out a political protest through unknown means 
and display itself prominently on a nearby wall. SCP-2866 will then 
attempt to "join" the protest by actively displaying a variety of signs 
with relevant slogans written on them. SCP-2866 seems to have an 
inexhaustible supply of signs; to produce one, it bends down and 
appears to pick a sign off of the ground, at which point it appears in 


SCP-2866's hands. To date, SCP-2866 has been a confirmed 
participant in protests (See Addendum-2866-A for a partial list). 


SCP-2866 only attends protests objecting to socioeconomic 
inequality and/or in favor of social liberalism. Additional anomalous 
effects manifest whenever SCP-2866 partakes in such protests. 
People in the vicinity of SCP-2866 do not take any interest in it, 
regarding it as a human protester. Protesters who are joined by 
SCP-2866 will become invigorated, prolonging the protest and 
occasionally shouting out slogans from SCP-2866's signs. 
Additionally, anyone viewing a protest attended by SCP-2866 will 
begin to agree with the point it presents regardless of their prior 
stance on the issue. This effect lasts between five (5) and fourteen 
(14) days, at which point the affected person will reclaim their 
previous opinion. This effect directly ties changes in legislation with 
SCP-2866 protests. 


When not active at a protest, SCP-2866 remains stationary, 
sometimes holding a sign with a generic political slogan written on it. 
The most commonly-held sign reads "Society gets the kind of 
vandalism it deserves" in stenciled capital lettering. 


Addendum 2866-A: Partial List of SCP-2866 Protests: 


Event: Rally by the group in support of raising the 
minimum wage. 
Date and Location: , New York; 2010- - . 


SCP-2866 Actions: SCP-2866 produced a sign depicting a twenty- 
dollar bill. Underneath was written, "YOU TRY EATING WITH THIS, 
PIGS." 

Notable Results: Protest lasted hours before it dispersed. Class-A 
Amnestics were given to involved protesters. SCP-2866 evaded 
containment. A subsequent poll showed that 80% of people in ; 
NY agreed to raise the minimum wage. 


Event: Gay Pride Parade. 

Date and Location: , New York; 2011- - . 

SCP-2866 Actions: SCP-2866 held a rainbow-colored flag in one 
hand and a sign that read "LEGALIZE LOVE!" in the other. 
Notable Results: Rumors were spread by Foundation operatives 
that SCP-2866 was an elaborate art installation. SCP-2866 


contained successfully. Same-sex marriage legislation was voted 
upon in New York seven days after the incident. % of people voted 
in favor of its legalization, compared to only % negative votes. 


Event: Occupy Wall Street. 

Date and Location: New York, New York; 2011-09-17 (SCP-2866 
was contained at Site- at the time). 

SCP-2866 Actions: SCP-2866 observed to "look" in the direction of 
the Occupy Wall Street protest. It held a sign reading, "WE ARE 
THE 99%, AND WE WILL NEVER STOP." SCP-2866 displayed 
atypical behavior, as it barely moved during the protests. SCP-2866 
remained in this state for 28 days (the duration of the Occupy Wall 
Street protest). 

Notable Results: Normal behavior resumed afterward. No notable 
changes recorded in Site- personnel. 


Event: Attempt by Researcher to question SCP-2866 to 
determine its intelligence, origin, and purpose, as well as to obtain 
any other useful data. 

Date and Location: Site- , 201 -10-20. 

SCP-2866 Actions: SCP-2866 remained unresponsive to 
questioning for 20 minutes, in which Researcher repeatedly 
tried to introduce himself. Approximately 22 minutes into 
interrogation, SCP-2866 produced a sign that read "FUCK THE 
FOUNDATION." Researcher ended interrogation; SCP-2866 
continued to hold the sign for 48 hours. 

Notable Results: SCP-2866's knowledge of the Foundation was 
treated as a moderate breach of information containment protocol; 
an investigation was inconclusive. Researchers who witnessed the 
"protest" reported mild disgruntlement with many Foundation 
policies to the site administration, but a correlation was not noticed 
until the following protest. 


Event: None. 

Date and Location: Site- , 201 - -08 

SCP-2866 Actions: SCP-2866 produced and displayed two signs; 
one contained a stylized drawing of SCP- breaching containment. 
The other read, "RELEASE NOW, FOUNDATION SLAVERS!" 
SCP-2866 continued this activity for five hours. 

Notable Results: Researcher deliberately breached 


containment of SCP-_ two hours after the "protest" began. SCP- 
was recaptured, resulting in the loss of eight Site- personnel 
(including Researcher ). SCP-2866's knowledge of SCP- was 
considered a severe breach in information containment protocol; an 
investigation was inconclusive. Special Containment Procedures 
were updated to restrict viewing of and interaction with SCP-2866. 


Footnotes 

1. Including wood, concrete, most plastics, asphalt, brick, steel, iron, 
and copper. Notably, SCP-2866 is unable to move through glass or 
loose materials such as soil or gravel. 

2. Despite this, attempts to communicate with SCP-2866 via speech 
and/or protest signs have been entirely unsuccessful.

SCP-2867: No, Not The Cheese 


Item #: SCP-2867 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: A single 1kg sample is to be 
stored in a standard airtight containment locker at Site-76. All cases 
of SCP-2867 confirmed or presumed out of containment are to be 
reported to MTF-Rho-87 ("All Chewed Up") for confirmation, 
extraction and destruction. SCP-2867 cannot be handled without the 
use of a standard-issue HAZMAT suit. Any individuals who ingest or 
otherwise consume SCP-2867 are to be considered lost and 
summarily terminated. 


Description: SCP-2867 is a compulsive memetic and physical 
infection surrounding an unknown amount of gorgonzola cheese 
produced by POI-17357, ‘Jack Terrence’, and GOI-49452, 'Terrence 
Farms’, in the Pacific North-West of the United States. SCP-2867 
has a compulsive effect on subjects who ingest it, which causes the 
subject to actively attempt to spread the infection of SCP-2867 to 
others, eat even more cheese, and eventually [DATA EXPUNGED] 
(See Infection Timeline). Infected subjects are hereby referred to as 
SCP-2867-1. SCP-2867 infection can be identified with three main 
traits: an obsession with cheese, glazed eyes, and an incredibly 
elevated heart rate and rate of saliva production. An infection 
timeline and additional symptoms of infection can be seen in 
Addendum 2867-A. 


+ Addendum 2867-A 


Infection Subject: D-49013 

Infection Duration: Hour 1 - Hour 168 
Observing Researcher: Researcher 

Hour 1: Initial infection. Subject exposed to 
approximately 20g of SCP-2867. Subject 
reacts favourably to SCP-2867 and requests 


been restricted, SCP-339's tendrils begin to vibrate at rapidly 
increasing oscillations until the target is rendered incapable of 
movement. Note that once a target is ensnared, SCP-339 appears 
to be able to determine when the target truly becomes incapable of 
movement rather than merely when it stops moving. 


SCP-339 will then return to its base shape and size. At this point, 
secretions of blood and a slurry of bone and muscle tissue from the 
central mass are to be expected. All movements of SCP-339 are 
completely silent, even at very high oscillations that should produce 
noise. 


History: SCP-339 was recovered in Iran in 1953, during Operation 
Ajax on the part of the Iranian military. It was found in one of Prime 
Minister Mohammed Mossadeq's private collections. After the 
deaths of the Iranian soldiers sent to secure this collection, the 
Foundation was alerted and took control. SCP-339 was found in a 
velvet-draped room on a pedestal. 


A quote from the Persian poet Saadi was engraved onto the 
pedestal in Persian: "Nothing is so good for an ignorant man as 
silence; and if he was sensible of this he would not be ignorant."

more. Request denied. 


Hour 1-5: Subject paces around the room, 
muttering. Microphones pick up the names of 
over 600 cheeses, and multiple as-of-yet 
unknown names, assumed to be cheeses. 


Hour 5-6: Subject talks through the door to 
Researcher , attempting to start a 
conversation about cheese. Researcher 
doesn't respond, but the Subject continues to 
converse. 


Hour 6-24: Subject crawls on the floor, licking 
around the area where the cheese was 
located. 18 hours of searching produced no 
recognisable effect. 


Hour 24-26: Subject repeats the recipe and 
creation process of Brie twelve times in a row. 


Hour 26-48: Subject sleeps. Subject displays a 
case of somniloquy, with the topic of focus 
exclusively being cheese. 


Hour 48-49: Subject chews fingernails entirely. 


Hour 49-51: Subject is given 5 kilograms of 
cheddar cheese. Subject fully consumes all 
cheese over a two-hour period. 


Hour 51-52: Subject bangs on door, 
demanding more cheese and threatening 
Researcher . Subject repeats the phrase 
‘make you love it' forty-nine times during the 
outburst. 


Hour 52-100: Subjects sits in corner, staring 
blankly. The subject's eyes have become 
glassy, and his skin is turning gray. 


Hour 100-120: Subject secretes a yellow, 


gelatinous substance from his pores and 
projects it from his mouth, tear ducts, nostrils, 
and all other orifices. The substance coats the 
wall and floor in a two-meter radius and begins 
to build up and solidify around him. 


Hour 120-130: Substance takes on the 
appearance of gorgonzola cheese, and begins 
to mould into circular shapes. Standard blue 
veins begin to grow outwards from the centre 
of the mass, and multiple circular shapes 
begin to form. 


Hour 130-160: Gorgonzola growth has fully 
moulded into twenty-seven different varieties, 
shapes, and sizes of gorgonzola cheese 
wheels. Some cheese wheels show brand 
markings from reputable sources including II 
Giardino and Taddei, both known gorgonzola 
producers, whilst other wheels show no 
branding. A single small wheel, weighing 
approximately 0.4 kilograms, forms at the top 
of the pile, with a single label marked Terrence 
Farms Gorgonzola - Perfect for spreading! - 
little organic subject matter is left. 


Hour 160-168: Subject has been fully eroded 
and transformed. All cheese wheels except for 
the labelled "Terrence Farms' wheel are 
removed and incinerated. No trace of D-49013 
is left. GOI-49452 ‘Terrence Farms' declared a 
matter of interest. 


Notes: This test has brought up two very, very 
worrisome conclusions; the first being that the 
SCP-2867 reproduces by producing 
indistinguishable copies of branded cheese, 
which constitutes a major containment breach 
in and of itself, but also that there is a strong 
possibility that "Terrence Farms’ is mass- 
producing, or at least produced the original 


wheel, of SCP-2867. Our first priority should 
be finding whoever made this stuff and 
shutting them down. Dr. Faisal. 


After initial ingestion, instances of SCP-2867-1 will search only for 
more SCP-2867 variety gorgonzola, but instances denied SCP-2867 
for an extended period of time will extend to eating normal 
gorgonzola and other cheeses of a similar flavour, texture, and 
scent. Instances of SCP-2867-1 will ingest copious amounts of 
cheese with little regard for their own safety; this often leads to 
death in the subject by intestinal rupture or suffocation. They will 
also try to make their own SCP-2867 using inadequate tools and 
ingredients; often leading to injury or poisoning. Instances will also 
actively encourage the consumption of SCP-2867 by other people 
around them; even going so far as to feed it to domestic pets, 
livestock, and pests. Instances of a SCP-2867-1 also attempt to 
avoid violence and conflict in their methods of transmission; but will 
resort to extreme methods after multiple days of infection. 
SCP-2867's effect extends to almost all biological creatures, with 
notable exceptions seen in Ecdysozoa Tardigrada and most species 
of reptiles. Research into these exceptions is ongoing. 


Knowledge of SCP-2867 was recovered from instances of 
SCP-2867-1 in Seattle, Washington, after five men, all employees at 
a local cheese shop, gorged themselves to death on cheese. Three 
witnesses were recovered; one of which was discovered to be in the 
early stages of SCP-2867-1 infection. 


+ Interview Log 2867 


Interviewee: James (Refered to as 1) 
Interviewer: Dr. Pradesh (Refered to as P) 
Foreword: The interviewed instance was 
recovered from the incident in Seattle. After 
the administration of sedatives, Dr. Pradesh 
was able to communicate in a semi-civil 
manner. This interview marks the Foundation's 
first knowledge of the existence of SCP-2867. 


P:So, Mr. — . Would you mind telling us what 
happened with you? 


|: What? Sure, sure... do you have any 
cheese? 


P: Cheese? 


I: Yeah’ y'know, like emmental, edam, 
mozzarella, cheddar, haloumi, gouda, Swiss, 
blue cheese, Parmesan, camembert, Brie, 
féta, goat cheese, chelsea, aggiano, Monterey 
Jack... 


P: Hey, uh- 


|: Kanterfaas, gruyere, nicasio, havilah, 
chevre, mondseer, redoric, comte, chevretin, 
roquefort, Munster... what do you think of 
cheese? 


P: It's... | don't mind it. 


I: | love the stuff. Didn't always, but then | had 
this really good cheese. Gorgonzola. | 
remember it perfectly... this guy came into the 
shop. Said he'd made a great cheese. And oh, 
it was the best. It was just... 


P: Yes? 


|: Just so good, y'know? And the guy, he had 
this air about him, like he knew stuff. Like, cool 
stuff. | think his name was... Jack? Jack 
Terrence? | think that was it. God, | wish | 
could meet him. It was the best cheese. 


P: | see. What did you do after you tried his 
cheese? 


|: It was incredible. | mean, | couldn't keep it to 
myself. Everyone deserves to try that. | reckon 
you'd like it. Whaddya think of Gorgonzola? 


P: Well, I'd have to say | prefer a nice Brie. 


gee 

P: James? 

I: mumbling 

P: Excuse me? 
I: | said EAT IT! 


At this point, audio is muffled due to the 
microphone being knocked onto the floor. Mr. 

lunged towards Dr. Pradesh, producing a 
small chunk of SCP-2867 he had stashed on 
his person. Mr. managed to forcefully feed 
the sample to Dr. Pradesh. Mr. was soon 
killed via gunshot by the attending security 
officer, hereby referred to as S. 


S: Shit! 
P: groaning 
S: Oh, sir! Are you ok?! 


P: What? Yes, yes, I'm fine... do you have any 
cheese? 


S: What?! Oh, oh shit... (The sound of 
clattering metal can be heard briefly.) Get 
back! 


P: Just some? 


At this point, Dr. Pradesh began moving 
towards the security officer, who terminated 
him via gunshot. 


Notes: |'m declaring SCP-2867 a compulsive 
memetic hazard, as well as a biohazard. ‘Jack 
Terrence’ or POI-17357, is to be placed ona 
regional watchlist. - Dr. Faisal 


Addendum 2867-B: In the months following the Seattle Incident, 
multiple cases of behaviour similar to that of SCP-2867 infection 
were reported in cities in the Pacific Northwest, including Spokane, 
Boise, Portland, and Vancouver. In light of this information, and the 
growing possibility of wide-spread infection through public 
consumption, MTF-Rho-87 ("All Chewed Up") has been formed to 
locate SCP-2867's source.
