You're not stupid. You can probably guess 
what that means. Is it actually a chair? To 
most people it is. You know better. We make 
sure this document gets around to a lot of 
people, just so people know that it’s a chair. 


The chair is designed to be as "mundane" as 
an SCP could possibly be. No mind tricks. No 
insane hostility. No helpful properties. We want 
people to be as disinterested in this chair as 
possible. If you find out that someone is trying 
to run a test on this thing, don't let them. 


You might be thinking, “Why don’t we simply 


forget about it? Why don’t you and | just dupe 
ourselves into thinking it’s a chair, so it actually 
is one?” | wish it could be that easy. 
Unfortunately, somebody out there knew what 
it is too. And that somebody wrote a damn 
book about it. 


It started when we found a book describing 
SCP-2950 as some kind of XK-class monster. 
We initiated containment protocols along those 
lines, believing that it was true. And so it was. 


In the process, the Serpent’s Hand drained 
themselves trying to stop us from getting that 
book. We never understood, and most of them 
didn’t either. There were few who had the 
knowledge to tell us the truth, but they only 
told us when it was far too late. 


A secret meeting saw the O5’s and the 
Serpent’s Hand discussing what SCP-2950 
was. They showed us their books and their 
stories that gave us what we needed to know. 
A lot of us were skeptical. More of us were 
desperate. 


After doing what was necessary to erase 
awareness of SCP-2950, it was agreed that 
one of us on each side would keep the 
knowledge, to prevent something like this from 
ever happening again. 


Neither of us ever found out where those 
books came from. According to them, they 
appeared in the Library one day. The source 
that we used to find ours disappeared, and 
nobody knows where it came from. That’s why 
you're here. Not only do you have to 
remember, but if possible, you must find out 
where this thing came from. | failed, and so did 
the rest of the O5-6’s that have tried. Maybe 


you'll be different. 


We've kept our end of the bargain, and 
hopefully, so have they. And now, it’s time to 
pass the torch on to someone else. | don’t 
have to remind you that you’re alone on this 
One. It’s not exactly like you can call up the 
Serpent’s Hand and ask for backup. 


Good luck, sir or madam. The world needs you 
on this one. 


And, by the way, congratulations on the 
promotion.

SCP-2951: 10,000 Years 


Item #: SCP-2951 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Access to the Lemon Quarry is 
prohibited to unauthorized personnel, and Foundation personnel 
posing as local law enforcement are to maintain a perimeter around 
the site. Individuals who breach the perimeter are to be administered 
a suitable amnestic and turned over to the local authorities. 


Exploratory missions into SCP-2951 are currently forbidden. 


Description: SCP-2951 is an abandoned limestone mine near 
Guthrie, Indiana. The mine was originally owned by the B.G. 
Hoadley Mining Group until an incident that occurred in 1944. The 
remote location of the quarry, as well as the deteriorated nature of 
its structure, have limited civilian trespassing. Due to this, the area is 
mostly undisturbed. 


The interior of SCP-2951 is subject to irregular spatial and temporal 
anomalies. Exploratory teams have also reported the existence of 
unknown anomalous entities within SCP-2951. These entities are 
likely connected to the 1944 incident, more information on which is 
available below. 


The primary entrance of SCP-2951 collapsed during the 1944 
incident, and is inaccessible. A secondary shaft, located in a 
dilapidated storage building, remains accessible. 


Addendum 2951.1: 1944 Incident and Collapse 
Access Addendum 


Note: The following information was gathered from the 
personal office of J. Howard Barnes, a Kervier 


administrator and Global Occult Coalition informant. After 
his death, the Foundation seized many of his assets, 
including information regarding the 1944 Lemon Quarry 
collapse which was thought to have been destroyed. 


On August 23rd, 1944, seismic activity below the Lemon 
Quarry prompted quarry supervisors to send an 
exploratory team into the limestone mine to assess 
damages to structures therein. After three hours, the 
initial team returned to report that an important access 
tunnel had collapsed. 


After some deliberating, quarry supervisors assembled a 
larger team of workers to clear the debris. These workers 
descended to the collapse point and began to move the 
fallen stone out of the way, in order to bring in larger 
machinery. However, during this attempt additional 
seismic activity occurred’, triggering a tunnel collapse 
behind the crew clearing the access tunnel. 


For the next several hours, teams worked on both sides 
of the blockage to remove the debris and free the 
clearing crew. At approximately 4:00PM EST, the 
blockage was removed and the initial clearing crew 
emerged from the mine. This crew reported that the 
primary access tunnel remained blocked, but a new 
tunnel, one that had not been cut by the mining group 
and was not charted, had been opened by the second 
round of seismic activity. Another small team was 
dispatched to gather information about this tunnel. 


The second tunnel was described as cut smooth, though 
not unnaturally so, and descended towards the 
northwest at a slight decline. Supervisors for the group 
hypothesized that this was an original access tunnel, 
potentially one that had been cut near the mine's 
conception (before it was purchased by B.G. Hoadley) 
and simply not properly recorded. Hoping that this 
access tunnel would connect around to the primary, 
blocked tunnel, quarry supervisors gathered another 
team of 23 men. Their assignment was to use this 


secondary tunnel to access the rear of the blockage, 
assess the structure there, and determine whether the 
use of explosives was justified to clear the tunnel. 


After this team was sent into the mine, very little else of 
note is recorded. Sometime afterwards there was a third 
round of seismic activity, severe enough to collapse the 
entrance tunnel to the mine. Over the course of the next 
three days, teams above ground worked to remove the 
rubble covering the entrance, while supervisors and 
additional workers attempted to contact the team through 
a telephone cable line run down the secondary access 
shaft in the maintenance building. On the evening of the 
third day, just as B.G. Hoadley administrators were 
preparing to request assistance from other nearby 
mining groups, an unknown individual emerged from the 
secondary shaft. The only note made of this event was 
the following, a telegraph wired to B.G. Hoadley offices 
in Louisville: 


26 8 1944 


Mine abandoned. Tunnels remain collapsed. 
23 lost. 


One of them came up the shaft. We tossed it 
back down. Wasn't right.

Addendum 2951.2: 1998 Incident 
Access Addendum 


On June 4th, 1998, low level seismic activity was 
detected south of Site-81. A team of Foundation 
geologists were dispatched to gather more information 
relating to the event, but were unable to pinpoint the 
exact location of the disturbance. Anticipating 
aftershocks, several seismographs were installed in 
neighboring towns. 


twenty-six years old, of average physical capacity and average 
intelligence. Subject has the capacity to siphon infectious viral and 
bacterial agents from her environment, nurture and store them within 
her body, and then redistribute them to devastating pandemic effect. 
SCP-353’s mood directly affects the radius of infections recorded, 
with increased emotional states leading to massively increased 
potency. 


SCP-353 seems to be immune from the symptoms of said infectious 
agents, but just as long as she is only passively storing them. Her 
active, willful attempts to nurture, manipulate, and change infectious 
agents while they remain in her body cause her to manifest 
symptoms ranging from mildly annoying to severe. Symptoms only 
last as long as she is actively inducing a change in the quantity or 
quality of an infectious agent, and thus rarely last longer than a few 
hours. 


Examinations have shown that the subject is able to "store" almost 
any infectious bacterial or viral agents within her body, though she is 
only capable of changing agents that are able to naturally survive 
within the human body. As of the writing of this report, SCP-353's 
blood contains traces of over one thousand different infectious 
agents, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Ebola, 
Marburg, sixty-seven different strains of the common cold, herpes 
simplex A, E. coli, cholera, bubonic plague, SARS, and malaria. At 
least 30% of said infectious agents were previously unknown to the 
medical community, and were possibly engineered by SCP-353 
herself, making SCP-353 an invaluable resource. 


Addendum 353-01: SCP-353 was originally encountered in [DATA 
EXPUNGED], South Africa, where she seemed to be deliberately 
seeking to pick up strains of the Ebola virus. Foundation Personnel 
pursued SCP-353 to Dresden, Germany, where they determined 
that she had successfully contracted Marburg and redistributed said 
virus to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Subject was eventually subdued by 
physical means and taken into Foundation custody with minimal loss 
of life. 


To date, her true identity is unknown, as she gives no name other 
than "Vector" and refuses to answer any questions about her past. 
SCP-353 claims to have traveled the western world seeking greater 


On June 16th, a missing person report was filed with 
local police for Tevin Napier, a 15 year old student who 
had disappeared after he and his friends had been 
trespassing in the abandoned Lemon Quarry. Teams 
searched the quarry for any sign of Napier, eventually 
discovering the now unsealed secondary access shaft 
beneath the dilapidated maintenance building within the 
quarry. 


A search and rescue team was lowered into the shaft, 
expecting to recover Napier's body. However, initial 
attempts were unsuccessful due to the sheer depth of 
the shaft, and teams had to be recalled until longer 
safety equipment could be obtained. At the time, no 
records of the depth of the shaft were available, and 
crews were unaware of the original recorded depth of 
~120m. This was disparate from the estimated depth of 
this shaft by rescue crews, who estimated a depth of 
~240m. 


When rescue crews eventually descended the full length 
of the access shaft, there was no evidence of Napier's 
body. However, crews quickly reported agitation, anda 
feeling of doubt about their perception of the mine 
around them. During this expedition, the five man rescue 
crew occasionally reported there being seven or eight 
members of the team, and one member reported that 
they were in the mine "looking for gold". After 43 minutes 
within the mine, the team stopped responding to radio 
communications. Above ground teams quickly began to 
retract their tether, but found that more tether was being 
retracted than had gone into the mine. After retracting 
400m of tether, the winch was no longer able to do so 
and was stopped. 


At this point, Foundation crews were alerted to the 
possibility of anomalous activity at the Lemon Quarry, 
and took control of the rescue efforts under the guise of 
a federal search and rescue team. Using a more 
powerful winch system, Foundation personnel were able 


to retrieve two of the five men, both of whom were still 
connected to their tethers. The first man, Able Parker, 
became increasingly agitated and violent above ground, 
convinced he was still within the mine. The second man, 
Greg Hamilton, was initially thought to be comatose, but 
began speaking unintelligibly after twenty minutes above 
ground. However, the initial rescue team confirmed that 
the voice Hamilton was speaking with was not his own, 
but the voice of Jeremy Livingston, another one of the 
men in the mine. Both men were sedated and moved to 
Site-81 for analysis. 


Of the three other tethers, two returned with clean cuts at 
their end. The third appeared to have been cut with 
jagged pieces of rock, and was covered in human blood 
for 13 meters. 


After recovering Parker and Hamilton, Foundation 
personnel quickly moved to administer amnestics to all 
involved non-Foundation personnel, as well as develop a 
cover story for the events which occurred within the 
mine. Site-81 requisitioned an immediate classification 
for the mine as SCP-2951, which was granted by the 
Classification Committee on the 18th of June. 


Addendum 2951.3: Exploration Log 
Access Addendum 


Note: Following the events of June 16th, 1998, Mobile 
Task Force Trotter-5 "Hell's Heroes" was assigned to 
further analysis of SCP-2951. Their assigned goals were 
to assess the anomalous nature of SCP-2951, as well as 
search for the additional three lost search and rescue 
crew members and Tevin Napier, who was still missing. 
The four man team was to enter SCP-2951 through the 
secondary access shaft, and spend no longer than forty 
minutes within the mine. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


T5-1: Mics are on. 
T5-4: On. 

T5-2: Check. 
T5-3: On here. 


T5-1: Alright. Let's head down. (Pauses) Be 
careful right here, don't put your foot on that. 
It's loose. 


T5-3: You guys aren't going to let us loose on 
our way down, are you? (Off-mic laughter, 
T5-3 laughs) Your paperwork to file, | mean. 


T5-2: Come on Kevin, for fucks sake. 
T5-3: Alright, alright. 


(T5 team descends shaft. T5-4 notes depth as 
they descend. Upon reaching 120m, T5-1 
stops.) 


T5-2: What's wrong? 
T5-1: This is it. What's our depth? 
T5-4: 120m. 


T5-1: That ain't right. Those state guys said 
this was more than 200m deep. 


T5-2: Maybe there's a jog? Just around that 
bend over there, maybe it descends some 
more. 


T5-1: You'd think we'd see some hooks 
around here though, right? From the last guys. 


T5-3: Nothing like that. Footprints though, so 
this is definitely where they were. 


T5-1: Turn on your lamps, let's see what's 
around the corner here. 


(Team detaches from tethers, moves to corner 
away from shatt.) 


T5-1: Davies, did you start our clock? 
T5-2: | did, back when we hit dirt. 


T5-1: Good to hear. Let me know every ten 
minutes. 


T5-2: Yep. 

T5-4: Cap, over here. Something on the wall. 
T5-3: Tether lines. From where they were 
rubbing up against the rock. How many are 
there? 

T5-4: Just two. 

T5-2: That's weird. 


T5-1: Get some pictures, and let's keep going. 
We don't have a lot of time. 


(Team descends lower into the mine. 
Extraneous dialogue removed from log.) 


T5-2: Ten minutes. 

T5-1: Huh. 

T5-2: What? 

T5-1: Feels like it's been longer than that. 


T5-2: (Pauses) Clock is working fine, batteries 
are all juiced up and everything. 


T5-1: Just imagining it. 


T5-3: Man, it gets really tight up there. This is 
an access shaft? 


T5-1: Yeah. Supposed to connect with the rest 
of the mine, but it's just an emergency exit. 


We'll have more room to breathe once we 
reconnect. 


T5-4: We're going to need to go single file. 
T5-1: I'll take the head. File in. 


(Team begins to move single file through a 
section of tunnel. Significant time passes, but 
little discussion is had between team 
members.) 

T5-1: Where are we at on the clock? 

T5-2: (Pauses) 17 minutes. 

T5-3: That definitely isn't right. 


T5-4: Is this a temporal anomaly? 


T5-1: By the looks of it. (Pauses) You guys 
see that? 


T5-5: What? 
T5-2: Light? 


T5-1: Bet that's the rest of the mine. Not much 
further to go now. 


T5-4: | hear something. 
T5-3: Probably the wind. 
T5-4: No, it's below us. Deep. 


T5-2: Might be more seismic activity. 


T5-5: That definitely isn't right.
