On December 18, 1998, Dr. Ambroz and a Foundation negotiations 
team arrived at the abandoned settlement of 9 Mile Station, 
California, United States, per instructions from SCP-1659 (the 
reason stated for the location being "we're thinking of building a 
restaurant here"), and met with Ms. Valentina Laconi, an SCP-1659 
subject documented by researchers as being a bicycle mechanic 
residing in Scampia, Italy. Ms. Laconi presented herself as "Null 
Consulate Chargé de mission for Foundation Affairs", and was the 
only SCP-1659 subject present. 


Ms. Laconi proved extensively knowledgeable in the practices of 
international diplomacy and demonstrated her position within 
SCP-1659 by ordering several SCP-1659 sub-units in specified 
locations to perform tasks requested by the Foundation delegation. 
Over the next several days, the Foundation delegation and Ms. 
Laconi discussed terms for the voluntary entry of SCP-1659 into 
containment. Agreement was reached on December 22, 1998, and 
was formally ratified soon afterward as the 9 Mile Station Protocol by 
Overwatch Command and Directorate K itself (which delivered its 
copy of the Protocol signed by nineteen code-named individuals via 
burro-mounted messenger to a pre-designated Foundation facility in 
Guadalajara, Mexico). 


Stated Goals of the Signatory Parties: The preamble to the 9 Mile 
Station Protocol states the Foundation's and SCP-1659's mutual 
desire for preserving a rational consensus reality for human 
civilization. While stating that the aims of the Foundation and 
SCP-1659 are different, a commonality of purpose sufficient for a 
formalized agreement is cited as the basis for the Protocol. 


Requirements on SCP-1659: Under the Protocol, SCP-1659 is not to 
engage in any activity that may alert any individuals or organizations 
not under its influence to its existence. 


SCP-1659 is not to engage in any activity causing extensive 


property damage or loss of life, except in pre-defined circumstances 
of self-defense, which must be promptly reported to Foundation 
personnel. 


SCP-1659 must limit its total number of affected individuals to 
<.01% of the estimated world population at any given time. 


SCP-1659 may not designate Foundation personnel as members of 
its organization. 


Requirements on the Foundation: Foundation researchers are 
permitted to observe and document all activities conducted by 
SCP-1659y individuals. Foundation researchers are not permitted to 
interfere with such activities unless a breach of Protocol 
requirements is reasonably judged to be imminent. 


Foundation staff may transport SCP-1659 affected individuals to 
Foundation facilities for examination and interview, subject to 
permission of the Null Consulate and in accordance with Directorate 
K guidelines. No fewer than 30 individuals per annum are to be 
made available to the Foundation for this purpose. 


The Foundation may not harm, coerce, intimidate, or otherwise 
interfere unduly with any SCP-1659 subject unless self-defense 
exceptions are present. 


Requirements on both signatories: The provisions of the 9 Mile 
Station Protocol must be reviewed by a delegation from both 
signatories at a triannual conference, located in neutral territory. 
Amendments may be made to the Protocol subject to approval by 
both signatories. 


Neither signatory may be required to reveal information regarding 
total strategic and tactical assets, personnel levels, or high-level 
policy to the other. 


As of the time of this report, no violations of the 9 Mile Station 
Protocol by SCP-1659 have been observed. 


Footnotes 
1. Researchers were unable to determine if these messages were in 


fact received by any persons, as the cell phone corresponding to 
this number was not located. 
2. No injuries to any individuals present were documented.

SCP-1660: Unearthly Forest 


Item #: SCP-1660 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1660-1 may be safely 
kept in a locked safe-deposit box at Site Storage Facility. Standard 
positive-action defenses (explosive, chemical, biological, and 
memetic) are to be in place at all times, according to standard 
operating procedure. SCP-1660-1 is to be kept away from 
flammable materials unless in testing. Under no circumstances is 
SCP-1660-1 to come into contact with fire-related SCPs such as 
SCP-_ . In event of SCP-1660-1 igniting outside, testing personnel 
are to evacuate the area until all flaming materials are extinguished. 
Due to only being accessible via SCP-1660-1, SCP-1660-2 can be 
considered to be contained as long as SCP-1660-1 is. Any animal 
life that emerges from SCP-1660-2 during testing is to be captured 
pending study and possible termination. 


Description: SCP-1660-1 is an elaborately decorative oil lamp 
made from silver, coral and the shell of a nautilus. Its anomalous 
effects activate if a fire is lit inside the chamber of the nautilus shell. 
Upon ignition the fire will, regardless of materials used, begin to emit 
large amounts of smoke. The smoke will begin to gather forming an 
arch-shaped "gate" in the air approximately meters across. The 
size and stability of said "gate" will fluctuate based on the amount 
and/or type of material being burned within SCP-1660-1. In the 
event of SCP-1660-1 being extinguished, the gateway will collapse 
rapidly. 


SCP-1660-2 is a miniature parallel universe consisting of 
approximately square kilometers of temperate forest conditions 
which can be accessed by means of the "gate" produced by 
SCP-1660-1. Around the edges of SCP-1660-2 are walls of an as- 
of-yet unidentified mineral rating up to onthe Mohs scale. Testing 
with diamond drills have been unable to damage the mineral while 


rapidly blunting drill bits. Roughly a kilometer above the treetops is 
what appears to be a layer of [DATA EXPUNGED] all aerial 
exploration is to be performed with unmanned aerial vehicles 
(UAVs) following incident . Attempts at drilling below ground 
have revealed that a crust of the same unidentified mineral making 
up the walls exists approximately half a kilometer under the entire 
area of SCP-1660-2.

Document Alpha SCP-1660-7: Report from Director 


The information in the article that you've 
already read left out, or more accurately 
expunged, something quite important. 


SCP-1660-7. 


They aren't simply some kind of dangerous 
predator. We said that to keep personnel away 
from them. 


They're sapient. Their fore-paws are jointed to 


work like human hands. They have simple 
tools, fire, and a language of their own based 
on bio-luminescent patterns. 


It is their cave paintings, however, which 
interest us: crude humanoid figures holding 
sticks and killing with them at a distance, 
shooting projectiles. 


Then a battle with the same sticks, new 
figures, and the end of the killing. And the 
symbol copied off the new figures, the symbol 
in front of which they leave food in sacrifice, 
the symbol which they smear all over things 
with ash and plant pigment or claw into trees. 
The symbol of their gods. 


Two rings, one inside the other, with three 
arrows pointing inward.

SCP-1661: Gremlins 


Item Number: SCP-1661 
Object Class: Archon 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1661 specimens are to be 
contained within Site-5' Site-81. Dissection and experimentation 
requests are to be filed through personnel with Level-3 clearance. 


Description: SCP-1661 consists of a swarm of self-replicating 
automata composed primarily of aircraft components, assembled in 
a random and seemingly nonfunctional manner. Although general 
arrangement and internal workings are highly variable between 
instances, each specimen contains a single, genetically 
cephalopodic eye of varying size in its approximate center. All 
SCP-1661 are capable of self-directed flight through unknown 
means, and posses an aptitude for swift, coordinated 
maneuverability. 


While SCP-1661 display some degree of sapience, attempts at 
communication have been ineffective. 


Individual instances are highly specialized for a variety of purposes 
relating to the seizure and deconstruction of airborne crafts such as 
planes, drones, helicopters, and un-manned spacecraft. Laser- 
cutters, multi-fingered appendages, and primitive cloaking devices 
have all been observed. 


SCP-1661 prefers to hunt collectively at night, attacking their target 
mid-flight. They are capable of completely deconstructing un- 
manned crafts and aerial drones in a matter of minutes; in all 
recorded cases they were successful in reducing such craft into 
scrap throughout free-fall, and before the craft could impact the 
ground. They generally limit themselves to removing non-vital 
components in manned crafts, presumably to allow the survival of 
passengers. Experimentation has revealed that in these cases 


SCP-1661 are more cautious and precise with their work, taking as 
long as an hour to carefully excise specific material. SCP-1661 has 
shown no responses to prey items other than airborne devices. 


History: SCP-1661 activity was first brought to Foundation attention 
in 1948, following several reports of aircraft losing small exterior 
sections of their wings or fuselage. Some passengers aboard 
affected flights claimed they witnessed small, metallic objects 
moving about the plane's exterior, thus prompting further 
investigation. A fictionalized account of these sightings were later 
disseminated to the public by Agent Matheson in accordance with 
OPERATION:SAGA. 


Investigation into the projected hunting grounds of SCP-1661 was 
fruitful; several attacks on dummy planes were witnessed by field 
agents over the following decade, allowing researchers to eventually 
triangulate the location of their nest. Containment specialists were 
deployed to the abandoned Albert Johnson Air Base in Indiana's 
Tippecanoe County in April of 1969. 


Personnel discovered over three-hundred SCP-1661 in the process 
of configuring salvaged material into new instances. The majority 
were able to escape though collapsed sections of ceiling in the 
complex upon sighting agents, who were successful in capturing 
several specimens for study. Forty-seven inactive instances were 
also recovered, each of which did not posses their characteristic eye 
- hosting only open orbits within their central mass. 


It is notable that two instances were responsible for the rescue of an 
Agent Fielding, who had nearly fallen into a fissure in the foundation 
of the facility. They were both then captured. 


Three days after containment at Site-81, a swarm of SCP-1661 
descended within the site's exclusion-zone, landing five meters from 
the main gates. These instances did not resist collection by 
personnel. 


Incident Report: 


On 1/28/1971, all SCP-1661 specimens began to display erratic 


behavior, such as flying around in circles and propelling themselves 
into the sides of their containment chambers. Four days later, 
personnel stationed within Tippecanoe County began to receive 
reports of automobile crashes due to sudden onset seizures in the 
approximate area of SCP-1661's former nest, with first-responders 
being equally affected. 


Elements from Eta-10 and Beta-7 were dispatched, in order to 
account for suspected memetic-hazards and bio-hazards, 
respectively. This detachment became similarly affected when 
approaching within one kilometer of the Air Base, despite protective 
equipment. 


Aerial reconnaissance was subsequently able to capture footage of 
a singular, massive organism emerging from the fissure beneath the 
base, consisting solely of transparent tendrils spotted with hundreds 
of cephalopodic eyes. Heavy bombardment of this entity as it 
reached beyond the confines of the base did no visible damage. 


Due to the large area-of-effect of the creature's hazardous abilities, 
the ineffectiveness of the Foundation's offensive, and the erratic 
behavior of SCP-1661 specimen; the decision was made by Director 
Oliver Rights to release SCP-1661 from containment. SCP-1661 
proceeded directly to their former nest, attacking the emerging entity 
via the excision of several dozen of its eyes. Efforts from the entity 
to ward off the attack were unsuccessful - SCP-1661 proved far too 
quick to be struck by its tendrils. 


The entity withdrew into the fissure, disappearing completely. 
Personnel and civilians recovered immediately from its effects. Later 
inspection of the fissure revealed nothing out of the ordinary. No 
trace of this organism was found. 


Several non-functional SCP-1661 specimens in containment were 
later delivered to the nest, where personnel were able to observe 
their activation upon the insertion of eyes collected from the hostile 
entity. 


SCP-1661 is thus formally considered the primary containment 
strategy for this entity. A full rewrite of this file will be produced to
