Exploration of the chamber led to the discovery of the body of a 
human male. Individual has shown no signs of decay and although 
lacking a detectable heartbeat, EEG scans have revealed low-level 
brain activity. Research into the subject and its relationship with 
SCP-2095 is currently ongoing. 


Found inside was a single well-preserved scroll, strewn carelessly 
and likely never meant to be contained within. Deduced to be a 
letter, it is believed to have been written by the ruling authority at 
SCP-2095 but had been unsent, possibly due to events directly 
referenced within. The document has been translated and is now 
accessible for viewing by Foundation personnel: 


+ UNSENT LETTER 
Grand Karcist lon, 


May this missive find you at Kythera, for it shall 
be my last. Our enemies have begun their 
assault on the island but we have completed 
the Rite of Preservation. The Temple will sleep 
and await Resurrection by the Children of 
Adytum. 


The Fallen Kingdoms and Followers of 
Mekhane have united against us, even as their 
nations crumble. Still, they have transmuted 
Our every victory in the region to that of defeat, 
even as their own fates are sealed. 


The Bleeding Heart is our last stronghold in 
the Aegean Sea but no doubt our Eastern 
Domain remains strong under your eternal 
gaze. The Wounds sustained today will heal - 
into the ages of ages, we are undying. 


Their victory here shall be hollow. Karcist 
Meksa has claimed their Profane Instruments 
and sails for Kythera as | write this. 


| vow that none are to leave this island alive. 
May their names be obliterated and their flesh 
consumed. 


We summon the Red Death. 


For the blood of heathens, we sacrifice 
ourselves. We will meet again in Adytum. 


| remain, 
Karcist Tundas

SCP-2096: Elder Care 


Item #: SCP-2096 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2096 is to be held in an 
MSHA! containment cell at Area 26. Following Event 08/29/2001 -2, 
the subject has remained in a comatose state. A minimum of one 
Medical Department personnel and one Research Department 
personnel are to monitor SCP-2096 at all times. In the event of 
SCP-2096 regaining consciousness, Containment Subterfuge 
Protocol 002 ("Conventional Medical Facility") is to be initiated until 
current containment protocols are reestablished. 


To maximize the probability and speed of re-containment in the case 
of an SCP-2096 event, autonomous redundancy systems have been 
implemented. Personnel monitoring the subject are required to send 
messages to personnel at Site 19 no less frequently than three 
times an hour. If no messages are received for thirty minutes, 
automated lockdown of Area 26 will initiate. Because of the potential 
variance in duration for an SCP-2096 event, this lockdown will be 
maintained until reestablishment of containment protocols has been 
verified. 


Description: SCP-2096 is a Caucasian female, eighty-one years of 
age. The subject, given name , is within average parameters 
of physical health for an individual of their age. SCP-2096 has been 
designated a Class 3U reality bender.2 SCP-2096 events are 
triggered by the subject's level of emotional distress and increase in 
intensity in proportion to the same vector. 


Recorded SCP-2096 events have to date always been preceded by 
the subject experiencing cognitive or physical impairment 
attributable to their dementia. When the subject is faced with a 
situation where any of their functions are noticeably diminished, the 
ensuing temporary reality restructuring event alters the cognitive 


functions of individuals within the effect vicinity to replicate the 
impairments being experienced by SCP-2096. Most often this 
results in those affected involuntarily undergoing analogues to 
SCP-2096's current memory loss; common examples have included 
confusion regarding their current location, the inability to identify 
others on sight, and the inability to remember the procedures for fine 
motor skill activities. While the effect occurs very rapidly following 
the onset of distress it is not instantaneous, with delay durations 
reaching as high as sixty-seven seconds in recorded events. 
Cessation of effect is similar in delay. 


According to medical records acquired from the family of SCP-2096 
upon containment, the subject began to present symptoms of 
Alzheimer's disease in August of 1998. These symptoms were first 
documented following hospitalization for injuries suffered after a fall 
in the home; the accident has since been theorized to be an acute 
representation of the onset of truncal ataxia. Formal diagnosis of 
Alzheimer's was made in December of 1998 following continued 
symptomatic behaviors. Prior to the onset of Alzheimer's in 
SCP-2096, no anomalous events had been recorded by the family 
or any medical institution. It is as of yet unclear whether the 
subject's facets as a reality bender had been latent prior to 
neurological degeneration or if all SCP-2096 events prior to the 
condition were comprehensive enough in their reality restructuring 
as to leave no evidence of previous consensus realities. 


Discovery: SCP-2096 was voluntarily remanded into Foundation 
custody by family members on 5/27/2001 following a temporary 
reality restructuring event which resulted in a multi-vehicle accident 
and the hospitalization of the subject and several others. Foundation 
liaisons in place at the medical facility were alerted to the potentially 
anomalous nature of the subject by familial testimony of prior events 
during the hospital's intake process. 


Event 08/29/2001-1 Report: 


Duration: 00:00:49 

Maximum Recorded Area of Effect: ~ 7m 

Notes: The subject's facets activated following a sudden 
and asymptomatic onset of emotional distress, 
manifested physically in the form of excessive weeping. 


Administration of sedation was in progress when 
SCP-2096's anomalous effect manifested. Personnel 
within the area of effect were functionally incapacitated 
by racking sobs and an emotional state consistently 
characterized after the event as "hopeless" by those 
affected. Enough sedative had been administered to 
permit rapid termination of the event in spite of the 
protocol's interruption by personnel incapacitation. 


Following Event 08/29/2001-1, review of on-site and off-site mental 
health accessibility for personnel who have experienced an 
SCP-2096 event has been proposed. 


Event 08/29/2001-2 Report: 


Duration: 00:24:17 

Maximum Recorded Area of Effect: = 1.2km 

Notes: SCP-2096 began to laugh with rapidly increasing 
intensity. Onset was minimal enough in delay and severe 
enough in intensity to preclude normal sedation 
protocols. Uncontrollable fits of laughter were 
experienced by all personnel at Area 26 and anecdotal 
evidence implies that the area of effect reached as far 
the outskirts of , atits peak. The subject 
experienced laughter-induced syncope and lost 
consciousness at 00:11:25 before awakening at 00:17:51 
with no lingering emotional incontinence. The 
approximately thirteen minute delay between the end of 
SCP-2096's emotional distress via unconsciousness and 
the termination of its effect on individuals within the effect 
vicinity was unprecedented. 


Following Event 08/29/2001-2, the Palmer Protocol’ has been 
invoked by approval of SCP-2096 Lead Researcher Emsworth. 
SCP-2096 has been chemically induced into a comatose state as of 
08/30/2001. The duration of this containment protocol is currently 
unspecified; weekly evaluations of the subject's state of physical 
health and potential revisions to the primary containment procedures 
are scheduled. 


Addendum 10/17/2001: SCP-2096 was diagnosed on 10/15/2001 


with a moderate chest infection; this type of condition often occurs in 
comatose subjects due to the general absence of the cough reflex. 
Treatment thus far has prevented the worsening of the condition but 
has been ineffective as a cure. As part of the weekly evaluation 
procedure on 10/17/2001, a proposal to wake SCP-2096 in the 
hopes of mitigating continued growth of the infection and to improve 
quality of life has been suggested. A counter-proposal of 
euthanization, citing the known and presumed risks of SCP-2096 in 
a conscious state following Event 08/29/2001-2, was made. Both 
proposals will be presented to an Ethics Committee tribunal during 
the next weekly evaluation on 10/24/2001. 


Ethics Committee Report 10/29/2001: 


The tribunal responsible for this casefile's review has 
determined that the risks garnered by waking SCP-2096 
outweigh the potential quality of life benefits. Were it the 
case that a return to both full physical health and 
manageable mental health states were probable, this 
decision would have been more complex; unfortunately, 
this is not so. Nor is it practical to continue to keep 
SCP-2096 in its comatose state, given no current 
projections suggesting significant enough medical 
advances that would permit an acceptable level of quality 
of life. 


Euthanization of SCP-2096 has been scheduled for 
10/30/2001. Reclassification to Neutralized will take 
place following confirmation of the procedure's success. 


- Jennifer Rumsey, Ethics Committee Regional Director

SCP-2097: The Perfect Foil 


Item #: SCP-2097 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2097 is to be held in a 
well-lit standard containment chamber. Historical Mongolian texts 
and children's books written in Spanish are to be arranged on the 
floor nearby; different texts are to be rotated in on a monthly basis. 
The room is to be monitored by four CCTV cameras, with at least 
one directly focused on SCP-2097 at all times. Access to the 
chamber is to require Level-3 clearance. Should instances of 
SCP-2097-1 manifest, Researcher Adams (or the Level-3 
Researcher currently assigned to SCP-2097) is to be informed 
immediately. 


Description: SCP-2097 has four observed forms: a fencing foil, a 
leaf-shaped arc, a thin sheet of metal, and a curved metal plate. The 
material that SCP-2097 is composed of may vary between 
manifested forms; material analysis does not reveal any 
abnormalities in the substances themselves. SCP-2097 will 
transition repeatedly between these forms, with its most common 
appearance being a thin sheet of aluminum. SCP-2097's 
transformation process is irregular and instantaneous; high speed 
camera footage reveals the object changing from one form to the 
next apparently in between frames. 


Prior to first manifestation of SCP-2097-2, a piece of paper with a 
written message (henceforth referred to as SCP-2097-1) would 
occasionally materialize next to SCP-2097. Instances of 
SCP-2097-1 were usually written in crude English, though one 
instance was written in Mongolian. See below for examples of 
messages found on instances of SCP-2097-1. 


worthy teacher why does no word rhyme with orange is it 
most beautiful word? 


what is mr. and dr. and mrs. and ms. those aren't words 
this is not perfect 


friend, why is it tooth and teeth not booth and beeth? 


Instances of SCP-2097-1 were later discovered to have been sent 
by SCP-2097-2. Writing on instances of SCP-2097-1 allowed the 
Foundation to communicate with SCP-2097-2 before it began to 
physically manifest in Foundation containment. 


SCP-2097-2 is an entity that assumes the appearance of a Puss 
Moth caterpillar (Cerura vinula) and claims to have created 
SCP-2097. SCP-2097-2 is able to produce high-pitched 
vocalizations and can communicate in Mongolian and basic English. 
lt claims to be a minor deity serving the god Tengri and has 
demonstrated detailed knowledge of the Mongol Empire. 
Throughout its interactions with the Foundation, SCP-2097-1 has 
been cooperative and amicable. It consistently expresses a desire 
for the presence of a man named "Juan". 


+ Interview Log 2097-01 


Interview Log 2097-01 

Notes: This is the first recorded instance of 
communication with SCP-2097-2. Researcher 
Adams was the active listed researcher of 
SCP-2097 at this time. Communication was 
achieved through writing on instances of 
SCP-2097-1. SCP-2097-2's reply appears 
within a few seconds; written messages are 
capitalized to distinguish from spoken 
dialogue. 


Adams: HELLO 
SCP-2097-2: HELLO 
Adams: IS ANYONE THERE? 


SCP-2097-2: YES. IT HAS BEEN LONG 
SINCE YOU WROTE BACK. 


SCP-235: Phonographic Records 


Item #: SCP-235 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Currently, four (4) instances of 
SCP-235 have been recovered. All instances are to be kept ina 
secure storage locker within Reliquary Research and Containment 
Site-76. Authorization of two (2) Clearance Level 2 staff is required 
to remove an instance of SCP-235 from storage for research and 
testing purposes. 


Description: SCP-235 appear to be shellac phonograph records of 
the type commonly produced in the late 1920s. Each instance of 
SCP-235 has a white label with the title in black lettering. Each 
record contains a different song. They are as follows: 


Instance Title Artist and Year| Number of skips 
per play 
SCP-235-1 "After You Get) Van & Schenck, Four 


What You Wart, 1920 
You Don't Want 
it" 


SCP-235-2 "Dark was the | Blind Willie Five 
Night" Johnson, 1927 

SCP-235-3 "Who's Sorry | Marion Harris,| Seven 
Now" 1923 

SCP-235-4 Unknown Unknown Fifteen 


SCP-235-4 has no label and contains a song that has not been 
identified. The tune has no lyrics, and is a slow, mournful dirge. 


Each instance of SCP-235 creates an identical phenomenon when 
played at speeds between 77 and 79 rpm: all objects within a certain 
distance of the recording (correlated with the volume at which it 
plays) appear to freeze in place whenever the record "skips", or is 


Adams: HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN? 


SCP-2097-2: A FEW MONTHS. WHERE 
HAVE YOU BEEN? 


Adams: | HAVE BEEN BUSY 


(There was no reply for three minutes. 
SCP-2097-2 then materialized next to 
SCP-2097) 


Adams: Shit! 
SCP-2097-2: Who are you? 


Adams: | am Researcher Adams. What- 
(SCP-2097-2 interrupts Adams) 


SCP-2097-2: Where am |? What is 
Researcher? Where is Juan? 


Adams: Calm down. You are in a safe place. | 
am a doctor and | am here to help you. Can 
you tell me more about Juan? 


SCP-2097-2: (Unintelligible Mongolian)) (Post 
interview, this translated into various 
expletives directed towards Researcher 
Adams.) 


Adams: Sorry, | did not understand that. 
Could you- (Adams is interrupted again) 


SCP-2097-2: Bring me books! 


At this point, SCP-2097-2 ceases 
communication and vanishes. 


Containment procedures were updated and 
subsequent interviews included the presence 
of a Mongolian translator. 


Addendum 2097-01: Since books were introduced to the 
containment area, SCP-2097-2 has been observed to appear every 
twenty-three days, examining the books for eight hours before 
disappearing. However, upon personnel entering the containment 
area while SCP-2097-2 is present, it will immediately demanifest 
and will not appear for another twenty-three days.
