Dr. Fairweather: And how long have you been 


in those mountains? 


SCP-2663: Always. It was my home from the 
time of my first thought until | was brought 
here. 


Dr. Fairweather: And when was that “first 
thought”? 


SCP-2663: Again, | cannot be sure, there are 
pieces missing. How old is agriculture? | 
remember you had just started farming. 


Dr. Fairweather: | see. | think we'll end here 
for today. Thank you. 


SCP-2663: You're welcome.

Dr. Fairweather: Hello again, 2663. 
SCP-2663: Hello Doctor. 


Dr. Fairweather: | have some more questions 
for you today, alright? 


SCP-2663: Very well, what would you like to 
know? 


Dr. Fairweather: You are aware that you are 
not a typical yeast, yes? 


SCP-2663: Yes. 


Dr. Fairweather: Could you tell me how you 
came to be this way? 


SCP-2663: How? No. | have long tried to 
discover how and why | was created, but | 
have never found an answer that satisfied me. 
But | can tell you where. 


Dr. Fairweather: Alright, and where was that? 


SCP-2663: A lake. Long, long ago, | lived on 
the bottom of a lake. Once they called it 
Lychnitis’, but at the time it had no name. It 
was just The Lake. 


Dr. Fairweather: And this is where you think 
you were born? 


SCP-2663: Not born, no. | have been in this 
world for much longer than that. Aeons. But 
before the lake | was not me. We were us, a 
great many millions parts. Independent and 
unthinking. Cells, you call them. When | first 
pulled myself from the water | was vast, many 
thousands of librae4. 


Dr. Fairweather: What happened to you? The 
rest of you, | mean. What happened to make 
you the size you are now? 


SCP-2663: You've seen it. | cannot grow, | do 
not bud. My cells do not die, but they can be 
killed. Millennia of existence have taken their 
toll, and this is what remains. One day | expect 
the last of me will be gone, and | will be no 
more. 


Dr. Fairweather: You seem to be very at 
peace with that. 


SCP-2663: | have had a long time to think 


and ___ accidentally entered SCP-301. They disappeared for 
approximately minutes until the signals from their locator beacons 
were reacquired kmand_ km from their last recorded position 
respectively. Agent _’s body was recovered by a deep-water 
retrieval team 43 km SSW of , India. Agent was recovered 
near , Angola, suffering from exposure, malaria, and amoebic 
dysentery. Foundation personnel were able to debrief Agent 

before he died. Agent —_ characterized the teleportation experience 
as being “swept by a strong current” that “stank of shit.” He also 
stated that he “saw flames,” and reported hearing “sand falling,” and 
tasting “sugar, then dirt” in a repeating cycle. Agent died two 
days later. 


Based on the agents’ testimony, SCP-301 was found to be located 
on a regularly used hiking trail. The Foundation re-routed the hiking 
trail and built the current facility containing SCP-301. 


From information gathered from Subjects 301-a-1 and 301-a-2, and 
Agent _ , it appears that the interspatial region accessed upon 
entering SCP-301 is experienced differently by each subject. This 
experience can manifest as a wide variety of sensory phenomena, 
including tactile, gustatory, olfactory, visual, aural, and kinetic 
sensations. Experimentation with Class D personnel to further study 
this aspect of SCP-301 is recommended. A selection of post- 
experiment analyses are collected in experiment log 301C. 


Experiment Log 301A 


Using remote exploration in conjunction with on-going live 
experimentation, we have managed to map out much of the 
geodesic grid that SCP-301 teleportation follows. While this has 
resulted in the discovery of a large number of sites that require 
Foundation monitoring, many of these sites are in locations that 
make monitoring them a moot point (i.e. the dozens of egress points 
that open in the middle of the ocean). -Dr. 


Experiment Log 301B 


After increasing the size of test materials, we've finally found that 
SCP-301 cannot accommodate items larger than itself. If a piece of 
matter that exceeds SCP-301's three-meter diameter is placed on 


about it. | would like to be alone now. 


Dr. Fairweather: | understand. We can stop 
here for today. 


SCP-2663: Thank you.

SCP-2663: Hello Caroline. 


Dr. Fairweather: Hello 2663. | just have a few 
questions for you today. We'd like to know a 
little bit about your origins, if you can 
remember. 


SCP-2663: | can tell the story. 
Dr. Fairweather: The story? 
SCP-2663: Yes, my story. 


Dr. Fairweather: | would appreciate that, go 
ahead. 


SCP-2663: Thank you. When | left the lake 
where | first thought, | was colossal, and to the 
people living in the settlement on the lake | 
was the biggest thing they had ever seen. To 
them | was deific, a vast thing descending on 
their village. They threw stones and spears, 
but they could not stop me. | meant them no 
harm, and so | reached out into their minds 
and greeted them. | did not know what they 


were, nor what | was, and so | asked them. 


They asked if | was the answer to their 
prayers. You see, something had happened to 
the lake from which | emerged, it had become 
sickly and poisonous over the last few months, 
and the people could not drink from it, and its 
rivers and streams were quickly succumbing to 
the same corruption. In that moment | 
remembered my life as it was before, as 
millions of small parts. 


“Bring me grain”, | told them. And they did. | 
took their crop into my body, and in return | 
gave them Ale. The people were then able to 
drink, and for many years we lived together. 
Over time | became a friend to the village. 


Generations passed. These nameless people 
decided to leave the shores of the nameless 
lake. They were to go forth into the world, and 
they would bring with them their language, and 
their gods, and me. Each time a party would 
set out, | gave them a piece of me, to take with 
them to their new home. After the nameless 
people set out, they began to acquire names. 
As they spread out, their language changed 
and shifted, and their gods followed suit. | bore 
witness to the creation of dozens of sky- 
fathers and divine mothers. As the people 
went forth, their descendants began to forget 
me. My vast, featureless body drained from 
their memories, replaced by visions of 
statuesque men and nature spirits. They gave 
such names as Liber and Sucellus and 
Fufluns, and made me a figure of myth. They 
built temples to their long forgotten friend, and 
eventually the descendants of the nameless 
people had spread me far and wide, and each 
had its own tale of my birth. 


Eventually, the last of the remaining people on 
the shores of the lake left, and so | did too. | 
went into the mountains, | spread through the 
forest and lay there, waiting for anyone to pass 
by. 


When someone did come, | spoke to them. | 
guided them out of the mountains, and when 
they left they would go on to tell how they met 
their god of wine in the mountains, and these 
stories would keep people walking through. 
Eventually the people forgot these stories, and 
forgot me. Millennia withered me and battered 
me, and | lay in wait for new travelers who 
never came. That is why | contacted your 
people. 


Dr. Fairweather: Well. That certainly is a lot of 
information. | think we should end here for 
now, so | can go process this transcript. Thank 
you, 2663. 


SCP-2663: SCP-2663 is silent.

Item #: SCP-2664 
Object Class: Keter Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: As of this time, SCP-2664 has 
been reclassified as Neutralized. Investigation into the Global Occult 
Coalition asset "Gaius Prime" is ongoing. 


+ FORMER SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES 


SCP-2664 is contained at its initial point of discovery, in 
the GRU Division "P" Psionics Research Facility 
(SCP-2664-A) in the Verkhoyansk Range, Siberia. The 
area within a 10 km radius of the facility (designated as 
the ‘hot zone’) is off-limits to all non-expendable assets. 
The area outside the hot zone within a 50 kilometer 
radius of the facility (designated as the 'yellow zone’) has 
been cordoned off to the public under the guise of a 
munitions test facility. 


A camp has been established five kilometers outside the 
yellow zone to house on-site expendable, medical, and 
security personnel. Once every week, two healthy, 
physically fit expendable assets that have undergone 
Reconditioning Program Zeta-Umbrage are to be fed five 
orichalcum supplement capsules and given standard 
cold-weather equipment, video cameras, vitals monitors, 
and snowmobiles; they are then to be deployed into the 
yellow zone with instructions to reach SCP-2664 and 
report on its condition. 


If either asset dies of a traumatic brain injury within the 
yellow zone that cannot have been caused by 
environmental factors, SCP-2664 is to be immediately 
reclassified as Uncontained, Protocol 148-Zeta is to be 
immediately put into effect, and Overwatch Command is 
to be alerted of an impending YK-Class End-of-World 
Scenario. Other excursions to the facility are forbidden 
without the express authorization of at least two 
members of Overwatch Command. 


The Foundation has negotiated with world governments 
to ensure that all global satellite imaging of SCP-2664-A 
be doctored or destroyed. 


Description: SCP-2664 is a psionic eigenweapon developed by 
GRU Division "P", the anomalous investigation branch of the Soviet 
Union, from 1950 to 1961 under the name "Project Redline". Per the 
orders of then-General Secretary Joseph Stalin, SCP-2664 was 
intended to act as a psychic deterrent that would immediately 
brainwash the global populace into following the tenets of Soviet 
socialism. However, GRU Division "P" secretly designed SCP-2664 
to mitigate and remove human tendencies towards violence. 


Physically, SCP-2664 consisted of three Ukrainian triplets suffering 
from cephalothoracopagus'. In this case, each of SCP-2664's heads 
faced a separate direction, while their bodies joined at the navel. 
They possessed three arms total and six legs. The extent of their 
internal conjoinment remains unknown. 


Psionically, SCP-2664 is a single gestalt entity with three mental 
subdivisions - a control division, effector division, and receptor 
division - pertaining to its physical selves, enabling it to perceive and 
interact with its environment. SCP-2664 is capable of self-levitation 
and long-range manipulation of objects that weigh up to 100 
kilograms; however, its psionic capabilities are primarily for affecting 
other sentient and sapient beings around it. 


Unshielded sentient organisms that come within 100 meters 3 
kilometers 5 kilometers of SCP-2664 will be subjected to severely 
altered brain chemistry and tissue mutation, particularly in the 
thalamus, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, and septum. 


Sapient beings undergo a dramatic shift in personality, experiencing 
a 90% decrease in secretion of norepinephrine and other hormones 
linked to aggression and a general depression of the sympathetic 
nervous system; this induces an aversion to witnessing and 
engaging in violence, a severely diminished acute stress response, 
and a strongly negative reaction towards all forms of weaponry. 
Nonsapient beings such as mice suffer rapid-onset spongiform 
encephalitis and toxic sulphate buildup, dying within minutes. 


Mentally, SCP-2664 is thought to possess the equivalent intelligence 
and disposition of a six-to-ten year old child. Its mental state has 
likely been adversely affected by the conditioning and training 
program to which it was subjected by GRU-Division "P"2. 


SCP-2664-A is the former GRU Division "P" Psionics Research 
Facility, where SCP-2664 was created. Until its transformation into 
an anomaly during Exploratory Mission Alpha, the Facility was 
designed and built in such a way as to diminish the strength of all 
psionic transmissions within the structure by 99.5 percent. To this 
end, it incorporated materials such as electrum into the insulation 
and its layout was designed to maximize reflection and dissipation of 
psionic transmissions within the structure. 


Addendum 2664.1: The majority of the Foundation's knowledge of 
SCP-2664 comes from a former GRU Division "P" researcher, 
designated "Iceman", who led numerous research and development 
projects for the Division, including the development of SCP-2664. 
On 25 December 1962, Iceman defected to the Foundation through 
an attaché in the British Embassy in West Berlin, carrying several 
thousand classified Division documents and records on ultrafiche 
encompassing _ different projects and initiatives, including 
SCP-2664. The Soviet government officially denied knowledge of 
the existence of both the project and the facility during the 
clandestine Paraweapon Cessation Treaties of 1963. As a result, 
the Foundation implicitly assumed custody of both SCP-2664 and 
the facility. 


+ Debriefing of Iceman Regarding Project Redline 


[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT] 


Questioner: Please state your name and 
previous occupation for the record. 


Iceman: My name is [REDACTED]. | was a 
project manager in the Psychotronics Division 
of the Main Intelligence Directorate. 


Questioner: What was the aim of Project 
Redline? 


Iceman: Officially, Redline was an initiative 
commissioned by Stalin in 1950 to create an 
ultra powerful psychic weapon: one that could 
mentally convert people to follow the tenets of 
Marxism-Leninism doctrine. Internally, 
however... 


Questioner: Internally? 


Iceman: Almost all the members of 
Psychotronics Division, myself included, were 
veterans of the Second Great War. More than 
twenty million Soviets died in that war - friends, 
siblings, lovers. Not a soul in Psychotronics, 
not even the chain of command, was eager to 
build another weapon so soon. Indeed, we 
dreamed of freeing mankind from the 
necessity to make and use weapons at all. 
Thus, while Redline was officially a weapon for 
converting people into proper Soviet socialists, 
we secretly designed it to convert people into 
pacifists. Everything was done under the 
utmost secrecy, of course... if the KGB had 
had even an inkling of the truth, then every 
member of Psychotronics and anyone whom 
they had even spoken to would have been 
shot or dragged off to a gulag. 


Questioner: Summarize the process of 
creating Redline in a manner understandable 
to laymen. 


Iceman: The process was... complex. We had 
to distill more than twenty years of psionics 
research and theory into a workable 
engineering problem. The basic theory was 
that the psionic capabilities of humans were 
limited by their bodies - thus, a child might 
have a thousand times more potential psionic 
energy than an adult, but only be able to 
practically output a tenth as much due to their 
underdeveloped body. We hypothesized that 
by subjecting a capable mind to massive 
psychological trauma and then inducing brain 
death, this mind, its associated consciousness, 
and all of its psionic potential would 
disassociate from the body at the moment of 
death. We could then lock that mind into a 
controllable avatar. 


Questioner: How did you carry out the actual 
process?
