Dr. Pike: When | was holed up at home trying to recover, 
when the site was being repaired, | kept seeing this cat 
in my backyard. He kept on coming to the door, asking 
for food, begging like Oliver Twist. He always wanted 
more. He came into my room one day, and... he just 
stayed. 

Then... Oliver just vanished one day. | let him out, and 
he never came back. | found him in some hedges a few 
days later, and... (Dr. Pike's voice grows tense) God, 
Harry, I'm a wreck. 

Dr. West: Have you been taking your medication? 

Dr. Pike: Daily. They're giving me too big of a dose; can 
you see about adjusting it? I'm supposed to take half of 
what | get, and they keep urging me to take the whole 
thing. 

Dr. West: Of course, Cassandra. (Dr. West stays silent 
for several seconds, before sighing) Speaking candidly? 
Everyone knows everyone here. And most of us are 
concerned about you, and what's going on. 3773 is one 
of the few items here that's a proper skip, and to see it 
affect a researcher like this... 

Dr. Pike: What if there's no hazard? 

Dr. West: The Five-Word Test disproves that quite 
soundly. It's a near-failproof cognitohazard detection 
meme. 

Dr. Pike: You heard the recording. Did that sound like 
me? (Dr. Pike pauses.) | think | got whammied, but not in 
the cognitohazard way. | think that something messed 


with me to get me in here. 

Dr. West: Why would this force have a motive to do 
that? 

Dr. Pike: ...because it wants me to be alone. So | can 
finally do what | want. 

Following this, Dr. Pike became unresponsive to 
questions. Dr. West concluded the interview. 


Addendum: Video Log: The following is a transcript of a video 
recording taken in Dr. Pike's observation cell on June 3rd, 2016. 


22:05: Camera malfunction. Video restored three 
minutes later. Audio unavailable for the duration. 

22:08: Dr. Pike stirs in her sleep, and sits up to face the 
door to her chamber. 

22:09: Door to the containment chamber opens into a 
white light. The exterior cameras of Dr. Pike's cell show 
the door closed. 

22:11: A pair of felines emerge from the light; one of 
them resembles SCP-3773-14A, the other is an unknown 
entity resembling a black house cat with a tail 
approximately .5 meters long, a golden mask on its face, 
and luminescent eyes. Video resolution is poor, but the 
latter entity appears to be wearing SCP-3773, while the 
former is not. 

22:12: SCP-3773-14A jumps on Dr. Pike's bed and 
begins interacting with her affectionately. Dr. Pike is 
seen to be crying and hugging SCP-3773-14A. Dr. Pike 
appears to be addressing the unknown 3773-# entity. 
22:30: Between the two timestamps, Dr. Pike and 
SCP-3773-14A are seen interacting and playing, with the 
unknown 3773-# entity producing strands of rope and 
balls from behind itself for SCP-3773-14A and Dr. Pike to 
play with. At 22:30, SCP-3773-14A jumps off of Dr. Pike, 
and makes it way to the door. Dr. Pike walks after it, 
picking it up and kissing it on the forehead. 

22:34: Both SCP-3773-14A and the unknown 
SCP-3773-# entity depart, with the door closing behind 
them. Dr. Pike returns to her bed and sleeps, and is seen 
holding something in her left hand. 


Upon review of the footage the next morning, footage 
SCP-3773-14's cell was inspected, and showed it sleeping in the 
corner of it cell. Following this incident, SCP-3773-14 has not 
assumed the form of Dr. Pike's former cat. 


Dr. Pike herself was interviewed by a member of site security 
following this: 


Agent Nicholas Ewell: Do you remember this incident? 
Dr. Pike: ...1 remember it, but | can't believe it happened. 
Then | woke up with you all at my door and cat hair on 
my clothes. 

Agent Ewell: Does the Black Moon howl? 

Dr. Pike: [DATA EXPUNGED] 

Agent Ewell: Cognitohazard seems to be absent, if it 
was there in the first place; we're still going to keep you 
under observation for the duration. Do you know what 
this... entity that was with your cat was? 

Dr. Pike: ...1 think | have some idea, but you're going to 
have to run it by the mythology department on sublevel 5 
for me to be positive. She kept on making toys for me to 
play with him; she even gave me one of his favorite balls. 
| actually managed to say goodbye to him. Do you know 
how good closure feels, agent Ewell? 

Agent Ewell: No comment. 

Dr. Pike: It felt good. Oliver's not the first cat | had, but 
he's probably one of the best. | was... kind of lost, 
between losing him and my tiff with Claude; now, | feel 
like | can take on anything. 

Agent Ewell: Let's start with you taking on counseling. 
After observation is done and we're sure that the... for 
the sake of simplicity, the cognitohazard is out of your 
system, you're on psych leave, three months, by order of 
Director Weiss. You're not to come back to this zip code 
for any reason barring a major emergency until then. You 
have family? 

Dr. Pike: Parents and brother in Ohio. 

Agent Ewell: Good opportunity to visit them. You're 
gonna need to sign a memetic geas, of course. 

Dr. Pike: Gag order. Right, can't blab to the folks. (Dr. 


Pike clears her throat.) |s that everything? 

Agent Ewell: One last thing; the video showed you 
holding something in your hand when you went to sleep. 
What was it? 

Dr. Pike: | have it right here, one moment. 


SCP-3773-A designates a non-anomalous leather collar with a 
breakaway fastener, intended to be worn by housecats. A brass 
name plate reading Ubaste is affixed to it.

SCP-3774: My Heart DEETs Faster For You 


Item #: SCP-3774 
Object Class: Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-3774 have 
been located and terminated. Any backup blueprints or files detailing 
the creation of additional instances of SCP-3774 have been deleted 
or destroyed, only saving the original copies for file storage. 


Description: SCP-3774 was a prototype for a genetically and 
cybernetically modified subspecies of mosquito initially created by 
the Foundation to covertly survey Persons of Interest. Instances of 
SCP-3774 were bred to pass bio-engineered augmentations onto 
their offspring, as well as produce a successive generation of 90% 
female individuals.! The augmentations themself granted instances 
of SCP-3774 the following properties: 


« Photo recognition 

¢ Live video and audio broadcasting 

¢ Access of a self-contained genetic database 

¢ Emission of a signal that would show its Global Positioning 
Location 


Instances of SCP-3774, when shown an image of a human subject, 
were intended to seek out the subject covertly. It would then use its 
proboscis on a human subject it believed to be a match to the 
subject shown and consume a small portion of its blood to analyze 
for a genetic match. Once a genetic match was found, the instance 
of SCP-3774 was intended to remain within proximity of the subject, 
broadcasting live video and audio feed of the subject until the 
Foundation retrieved the subject. 


While most tests with instances of SCP-3774 proved positive, the 
introduction of adaptive vocalization2 to them caused an unknown 
error to occur. When an instance of SCP-3774 consumes the blood 


of a subject, regardless of whether or not it is a genetic match to the 
subject it is intending to find, it attempts to communicate with it, 
often expressing infatuation. In most cases, instances of SCP-3774 
have tried to court subjects, with primarily negative results. 


Once this error became known to the Foundation, all instances were 
located and recalled, where they were studied in an attempt to repair 
the malfunction. After further trials, the error itself was discovered to 
be unfixable, and all instances were promptly terminated. Any video 
logs recorded by the instances have been stored for research 
purposes. 


ENTER LEVEL-3774-3 CREDENTIALS TO ACCESS 


Below is a series of select video logs recorded by 
SCP-3774-2432 after locating a subject believed to be 
Pol- , however it was later determined to be a false 
match. The following events have proven to be a rare 
case, only occurring in two other occasions. 


<Begin Video Log 3774-01> 


SCP-3774-2432's camera view is apparently 
from the top of the subject's bookcase. 
SCP-3774-2432's camera displays the subject 
lying on his bed, awake. The room the subject 
is located in is poorly lit. 


SCP-3774-2432: Hello? 


The subject quickly sits up in his bed and looks 
around the room, apparently panicked. 


Subject: ls someone there? 
SCP-3774-2432: Yes! Hello! 


Subject: Where are you? How'd you get into 
my house? 


The subject turns on a lamp on his night stand 
and stands up from his bed. 


SCP-3774-2432: I'm... um... I'm a ghost! 


Subject: Ha ha, very funny. Could you just 
come out, please? | said please, I'm being 
polite. 


SCP-3774-2432: |... | told you! I'm a ghost! 
Yup! 


The subject is now searching under his bed. 


Subject: |'ll call the cops if you don't just come 
out, missy! And | don't want to call the cops! 


SCP-3774-2432: No, don't! Please, | don't 
want you to get into any more trouble! There 
are already people who know I'm here! 


The subject emerges from underneath his bed 
and stands up straight. 


Subject: People who know you're here? 
What's that supposed to mean? Don't tell me 
you're an escaped convict or something. 


SCP-3774-2432: No! God, no, don't worry 
about that. Just... forget | said anything. 


Subject: Look, miss, just come on out, and tell 
me what's going on. 


SCP-3774-2432: No, | can't! SCP-3774-2432 
pauses. Not now, anyway. 


Silence for five seconds. 


Subject: Subject sighs. Fine, stay hidden. 
Could you at least tell me what's happening? If 
you don't, | will call the cops, | don't care 
what's going on. 


SCP-3774-2432: I'm... I'm embarrassed... 


Subject: Of what? What's so bad that you 
literally broke into my house? Because it must 
be pretty awful if that's what it came to. 


SCP-3774-2432: No, no... no. It's, weird, 
really. SCP-3774-2432 simulates laughter. 


Subject: I've heard a lot of weird shit in my 
day. Salmon clogging up toilets, kids getting 
stuck in dumpsters, all sorts of nonsense. | 
doubt what you have to say is going to be 
weirder than a salmon in a toilet. 


Silence for four seconds. 


SCP-3774-2432: Well.. | work for... god, | 
shouldn't even be telling you this. 


Subject: Work for what? Are you a spy? Are 
you spying on me? 


SCP-3774-2432: No! Well, not at first. | was 
meant to find some big scary guy that worked 
for this other organization, but like... | 
confused him with you. 


Subject: Jesus fucking christ, you're a spy?! 
SCP-3774-2432: I'm not spying on you! 


Subject: Then come on out and show me your 
face if you're not spying on me! 


SCP-3774-2432: | told you | can't come out! 
I'm... I'm doing this remotely! With microscopic 
drones! 


Subject: Then cut whatever signal you have, 
then! If I'm not the guy you're looking for, get 
out of my house! Please! | just want a good 
night's sleep for once! 


SCP-3774-2432: |... okay. I'm sorry, | didn't 
mean to bother you. 


SCP-3774-2432's view shows it leaving 
through a window and landing outside on the 
windowsill. As it turns back towards the 
window, it shows the subject, still standing and 
shouting, telling SCP-3774-2432 to leave. 
After approximately six minutes, the subject 
gets back into his bed and turns off his lamp. 


SCP-3774-2432: God dammit... God, why did 
| have to be so creepy? Why did | have to just 
screw it up this fast? 


SCP-3774-2432 is silent for approximately four 
seconds. 


SCP-3774-2432: | just wanted to get to know 
him... 


The subject apparently falls asleep one hour 
later. At this time, SCP-3774-2432 re-enters 
the building and lands on the night stand, 
facing the subject. 


SCP-3774-2432: SCP-3774-2432 speaks 
aloud in a hushed tone. I'll try harder next time. 
I'm sorry. 


SCP-3774-2432's camera view shows it flying 
up towards the subject's bookshelf and 
landing, then turning to face the subject once 
again. 


Extraneous footage expunged. 
<Begin Video Log 3774-04> 


SCP-3774-2432's camera view shows the 
subject entering their house through the front 
door. SCP-3774-2432 is apparently on a light

fixture. 
SCP-3774-2432: H... Hi again! 


Subject: What?! Subject looks visibly 
distressed. 


SCP-3774-2432: No, don't worry! It's just me! 


Subject: Who? Subject pauses for three 
seconds. Wait, no no no no no, you were 
supposed to leave me alone! | got nothing 
worth spying on! I'm a janitor at an elementary 
school! | got nothing! 


SCP-3774-2432: You're a janitor? You help 
people keep things clean? 


Subject: Yes! Just a janitor! Not a shady 
janitor that works at some sort of spooky 
government organization, just a normal-ass 
janitor! 


SCP-3774-2432: | heard you, | heard you. 
That's really kind of you, actually! At least, | 
think so. Being helpful to all of those kids and 
teachers and such. 


Subject: Wha— um... Thank you... Wait, you 
still need to get out of my house! 


SCP-3774-2432: I'm... God, | guess | need to 
say it out loud now, don't |? Jeez my heart is 
pounding so fast, um... 


Subject: What are you going on about? 


SCP-3774-2432: I'm... not here to spy on 
you... | just really want to get... to... 
SCP-3774-2432 pauses for three seconds. | 
really want to get to know you, okay?! 


Silence for five seconds. 


SCP-3774-2432: God, | knew that would 
sound weird, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll just leave, 
you're right. 


Subject: Wait, you just wanted to get to know 
me? 


SCP-3774-2432: Yeah... 


Subject: But... you work for some big 
government, don't you? Couldn't you just look 
me up? Why go through all this song and 
dance? 


SCP-3774-2432: Because I'm not supposed to 
be getting to know you. I'm supposed to be 
finding some other guy, but... | just really 
wanted to get to know you a little better. 


Subject: You wanted to get to know me 
better? Me? You realize who you're talking to, 
right? 


SCP-3774-2432: | mean, that's what | want to 
find out, really. 


Subject: Uh... hm... Subject pauses for five 
seconds. Alright. Fine. But you have to let me 
get to know you, too. You know where my 
house is, just... | don't know, come here in 
person, let me see you face to face. 


SCP-3774-2432: NO! | mean... no. Not yet. 
I'm too embarrassed. 


Subject: Christ, okay! Could you at least tell 
me your name? 


SCP-3774-2432: |... | haven't got a name. | 
was just called 2432 all my life.
