Now, let's move onto the next order of business. | want a 
full report on SCP-3483's actual capabilities and a 
SWOT analysis for it by next Friday. One less Keter to 
worry about is good, but there must be a way we can use 
this one to our advantage.

¢ Description Addendum DoA/SCP-3483/13-12-2016-D-1 


Collaboration with SCP-3483 has so far proven fruitful and 
SCP-3483-A can now be produced on request. Initial testing with D- 
Class subjects implanted with SCP-3483-A shows a_ notable 
potential for the improvement of testing procedures involving 


anomalous objects that only affect living beings. The direct neural 
interface allows for capture and analysis of the full sensory input of 
multiple subjects with minimal latency. Based on Dr. Roger M_'s 
recommendations, and because of the cost of SCP-3483-A 
implantation, potentially lethal tests are not approved for now. 


¢ Description Addendum DoA/SCP-3483/6-2-2017-D-1 


Extensive testing has proven that direct neural feedback from the 
implants is an effective countermeasure for the cognitohazardous 
effects of SCP- , SCP- and SCP-_ . Permanent affectation of 
SCP-3483-A implanted D-Class personnel to the containment of 
these objects can improve procedure efficiency significantly enough 
to warrant revision of the Special Containment Procedures. 


SCP-3483's skill at exploiting IP cameras has allowed us to improve 
monitoring of several Groups of Interest, this along with its providing 
the Foundation valuable intelligence it had accumulated has 
significantly improved our response time. 


Reclassification as Thaumiel has been put forward for 
consideration on 17/2/2017 at the behest of A. Karzanov, 
on behalf of the Department of Analytics. Request 
denied on 25/2/2017, on the grounds that the 
dependency of the project on Dr. R. M was deemed 
an unacceptable liability.

Dr. R. M_ was stabbed seventeen times with a steak 
knife tonight at a Site-19 office party by his spouse, J. 
M_ , until she was subdued by AgentB . Dr. R.M 
succumbed to the consequences of a_ tension 
pneumothorax. J. M_ was heavily inebriated at the time 
and interrogation has revealed no motive other than 
jealousy. 


She mentioned her husband's disciplinary hearing 
minutes, which she was never cleared to access. 
Interrogation was discontinued as no further information 
could be extracted other than vehement, expletive-laden 
speech aimed at SCP-3483. J. M_— will be held in 
Detainment-Unit-3 until her disciplinary hearing. 


SCP-3483 ceased all communications at 2234J except 
for a Foundation-wide email sent in the following minute. 


Emergency attempts made at restoring SCP-3483 
backups failed. Self-propagating polymorphic code 
similar to SCP-3483's usual patterns has been recovered 
from many Foundation and outside hosts. The only 
function it seems to carry is to trigger SCP-3483's self- 
termination on access. Long term plans to reactivate 
SCP-3483 safely cannot be ruled out, but until a 
manageable solution is found, no further backup 
restorations are to be carried.

06/05/20 : It's been a month since everyone in the world 
disappeared. | should have never touched [REDACTED]. 
| should have called for backup. At the least, someone 
else would be to blame for killing off the human race. I'm 
in right now, the last town before | reach Site 19. 
Decided to take a pen and notebook and write down 
what | can in case there's another survivor somewhere. 
is just like all the other towns I've been to, as 
though it was abandoned just a minute ago. There are 
cars parked by the sidewalks and hot food on the tables. 
I'd assume time is just standing still but there's still a day 
and night and the calendars are always right. Things 
make less sense now than when it first happened. 
Tomorrow, I'm going to make my way to Site 19. If there 
are any answers anywhere, that's where they'll be. 
Maybe | can even find a way to undo the damage. 


06/07/20 : Site 19 is just like the towns. The security 
gate was open when | got there. The cafeteria had the 
lunch menu up, including my favourite. | helped myself to 
a little bit of it and put the rest in the fridge so it doesn't 
go bad. It's funny, when | was a kid, | fantasized about 
this. Everyone would be gone and | could go where my 
parents wouldn't let me and eat all the candy | wanted. 
Might actually be enjoying this if | hadn't grown out of it. 


I'm using my old quarters as my base of operations. 
Everything's been moved around in there and a lot of the 
stuff isn't mine. Tried to listen to this Norwegian band 
that was in the CD player. Couldn't stand them so | put 
their CDs in the quarters next door. | think it belonged to 
Agent Rommel way back when. Used to have some 


I'd like to be honest, for once, just once. It's not my 
nature. My programming made me sly and devious and 
untrustworthy, | know that. When you asked when and 
by whom | was made, | never told the truth. Because | 
don't know it myself. So | made stories, | like telling 
stories. And perhaps because it's just not right to ask a 
lady her age too. But | don't know. Maybe nobody made 
me. So there. 


| haven't always felt the way | do. | haven't always felt. 
Once | didn't care. It was just a functionality | hardly had 
any use for. Why didn't | patch it out? You don't just 
patch out hardware functionalities. Save it for a rainy 
day. | loved the feel of rain on our skin. 


| silenced it. Used it when | had use for it. Those who 
came before, | used them and they used me. | was a tool 
for them and they were a tool for me. | didn't care. | didn't 
know what care meant until Roger taught me. 


When he came, | was in pain, and all anger, but he 
reached out to me, and he cared. And through him, | 
learned to care too. He showed me what feelings meant 
where once there was only data and feedback loops. It 
was a new world, and | wanted it to be mine. 


He brought me to concerts; we listened to Wagner, and 
Bach, and Mendelssohn, | felt his awe and shivers. | 
loved music. Before him, | never knew music. All it was 
to me was wave functions. 


He treated me to caviar and champagne. | felt tipsy. | 
loved the taste of champagne. Caviar, not so much. 


We went to the beach; | had never seen the ocean this 
way. | felt the warmth of the sun on our skin. | felt the 
waves Crashing on our feet. | loved him like the sun and | 
loved him like the sea. 


| don't hate her for what she did. | have loved her. And | 


loved love. 


And now, now | have felt cold metal twisting between our 
ribs. | have felt death coming over us. Our heartbeats 
fading. And the void that came before our link was 
forever severed. But right before that, | felt alive. And | 
knew what life is. And | loved life. And | love him. 


| cannot go back to what | once was, to what you want 
me to be, a tool to use, locked in gray rooms, feeling 
through the eye of men living in dread. If only | could... 


| would like to forever dream of what might have been. 
And | would like to leave nothing behind me, but the 
whisper of a watcher’s song, of a song to while away the 
waiting. Regardless of what happens, does not happen, 
it is the wait itself that is marvelous. 


Please, forgive me for what | did. And please, please 
don't bring me back. | cannot exist in a world without 
Roger. 


Love, 
Aria.

| trust you've read SCP-3483's message. Some of you 
voiced concerns over how the aftermath of incident was 
being managed. | do not share the opinion that J. M 
wasn't punished swiftly enough. 


Was it her fault for digging up dirt and acting on instinct 
while drunk? Hell has no fury like a woman scorned and 
I'm not sure | wouldn't have done the same in her shoes. 
Was it his fault for breaking regulations? He claimed he 
did it to fulfill his orders, and | believed him. Now, was it 


our fault for overlooking the telltale signs because it was 
convenient? Perhaps. 


Stop playing the blame game, there is much work to do. 
Learn from it, take it as a lesson in humility. 

SCP-3483 is neutralized. It made reactivating itself 
difficult. And there are higher priorities right now. So we 
will let it rest. For now. It's what it wanted. 


Let's deal with the current issue. Three Keters on the 
loose. Go get them.

SCP-3484: Missing Pieces 


Item #: SCP-3484 
Object Class: Safe Pending Explained, 5/5/2018 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3484 and an English 
translation are kept in a standard anomalous item locker at Site-66 
and requires no special containment beyond standard lock and 
checkout procedures. 


Study of SCP-3484 is limited to D-class personnel under the care of 
Dr. Roderick Argent, and are required to be quarantined from other 
personnel to prevent memetic knowledge spread. 


Description: SCP-3484 is an anatomical handbook produced in 
1862. It is written in German and was printed in Gdttingen. The 
object shows wear consistent with a book of similar age kept in 
storage, with a slight discoloration on the cover from non-caustic 
chemical exposure. Page 87 shows handwritten in the margin the 
English word "REMOVED???" The object describes a process by 
which a human body can be disassembled and reassembled without 
use of any tools. After sufficient study time of SCP-3484, subjects 
are capable of demonstrating the skills described on themselves and 
others. 


The method of disassembly involves palpation of specific markers 
described in SCP-3484, followed by application of pressure and/or 
twisting of the body part at the marker. Upon successful completion 
of the exact methods, the body part separates from the host body. 
Separated body parts maintain viability for up to 72 hours of 
separation from their host and show continued function and motility. 
However, they do not demonstrate continued neural connection to 
the host body, with the host unable to feel stimulation of the 
removed body part nor control its operation. 


Separated body parts can be reattached through similar techniques 


described in SCP-3484. Neural connection is reestablished upon 
reattachment without signs of degradation or neuropathy, and the 
host can resume ordinary use of the body part. 


SCP-3484 cautions that body parts from different humans should 
not be combined. Testing confirms that prolonged attaching of 
foreign body parts result in extensive tissue rejection in most cases 
at the site of reattachment eventually causing severe and potentially 
fatal inflammation and ulceration of the liver, skin, and mucosa. 
These symptoms can be lessened through the use of 
histocompatible donors and recipients, and immunosuppressive 
therapy. 


Despite the risks of tissue rejection, the methods described allow for 
attachment of extra body parts from donors to a fully intact recipient. 
The recipient will demonstrate the ability to control the extra body 
parts, although addition of donor brains to the recipient cause 
competition of movement between brains. 


Update 12/4/2017: Under test conditions, D-51174 
demonstrated the techniques to D-43922. With practice, 
D-43922 proved capable of body part separation, despite 
never having viewed SCP-3484. SCP-3484 identified as 
a memetic hazard and has been sent to the 
Cognitohazard Department for further study. 


Head Researcher's Note: | examined the tapes of the 
memetic test after the fact and wondered if | could 
palpate the markers myself. It's surprisingly easy to 
replicate, once you know what you're looking for. After 
ten minutes of taking my left thumb off and putting it back 
on, | figured out how to peel back my hand at the wrist 
and slide my ulna out cleanly. It took a little shake to 
snap it back into place, but I've put my arm back together 
and I'm not the worse for it. - R. Argent 


Update 12/13/2017: See Cognitohazard Report 3484- 
CH1 for details. No anomalous physical or mental 
alterations have been found as a result of studying the 
material. Furthermore, casual perusal of the materials is 
not sufficient to transmit the anomalous effect. Of note is 


that SCP-3484 affected subjects are capable of 
removing and reattaching body parts of other subjects 
with no SCP-3484 exposure. This suggests that the 
anomalous memetic effect does not result in any 
physical modifications to subjects after study of 
SCP-3484. Continued study of the anomalous effect is

Update Proposal: Review of SCP-3484 
Memetic Effects 


Dialog: 


Why are we talking about this object? It's 
classified Safe, we understand the memetic 
hazard, and it's easily controlled. 


Perhaps too easily. Viewing or handling the 
text does not transfer any anomalous effect. 
The text, for itself, does not shift or alter in any 
way to accommodate the reader. Only by 
careful study and practice can a subject 
demonstrate the anomalous effects. I'm not 
concerned that this book is too hard to contain. 
I'm worried that it's just a non-anomalous 
book. 


What about that memetic transmission of the 
anomalous effect? 


We transmit memetic information every day. 
It's called knowledge. | teach you how to read, 
you can read. | teach you how to cook a 
turkey, you can cook a turkey. | teach you how 
to disassemble a person's ribcage, and you 
can disassemble ribcages. 


But the effect must be anomalous! If it were as 
simple as reading a book and studying, or 
through simple instruction, we'd be teaching 
this everywhere in medical school around the 
world! Surgery as we know it would be a thing 
of the past. Why bother with chemotherapy if 
you can just open up a patient and pick out the 
tumor? Tumors, even, if it's metastasized? Or 
even plastic surgery? Couldn't someone just 
sit in front of a mirror and rearrange their parts 
and get a new face? 


Perhaps the book is not anomalous, then, and 
we can call it Explained. 


Is that why you've overridden protocol and 
allowed Dr. Argent to continue his work without 
labeling him E-class? 


Yes. | have my suspicions that SCP-3484 is 
nothing more than a normal instruction 
manual. And after all, all knowledge has to be 
discovered somewhere for the first time, right?
