Results: Sound of splashing liquid observed 
for five (5) minutes. Box was opened to reveal 
a pool of liquid, later revealed to be cytoplasm. 
Viewing a 5 mL sample of liquid through an 
optical microscope determined that there were 
cell membranes floating inside it, making it 
likely that the cells themselves turned inside 
out. Bottom of box was noticeably damp. 
Analysis: Object appears to perform its 
function in accordance with the meaning of 
"turn inside out" according to the person who 
places the item inside of it. Further testing is 
required. 


Test 5 

Item: Steak purchased from restaurant, with 
section of bovine rib inside of it. 

Subject: Mr. , possessing a Bachelor’s 
Degree in Nuclear and Particle Physics, 43 
years of age 

Procedure: Mr. placed item inside box, 
still notably damp, and then closed it. 
Results: No sound perceived for the duration 
of SCP-3652's function, though its sides 
appeared to bulge outwards. When five (5) 
minutes had elapsed, SCP-3652 exploded, 
later determined to be due to the atoms inside 
the steak turning inside out and the resulting 
arrangement of subatomic particles causing 


great repulsive forces. Mr. was well within 
the blast radius of approximately twenty-five 
(25) metres and immediately expired. Testing 
room was severely damaged, causing great 
injury to four (4) research personnel who were 
supervising the experiment from outside. 
Injured personnel were treated, and Mr. Ss 
cremated remains sent to his family after being 
examined to ensure they had no anomalous 
properties. 

Analysis: Hypothesis from Test 4 supported. 
Recommendation has been placed to transfer 
SCP-3652 to a blast-proof room during testing 
as a precaution for future experiments. 


Test 6 

Item: Polyester shirt 

Subject: D-0192, 40 years of age 

Procedure: Research personnel assembled 
the fragments of SCP-3652 over a period of 
one hour in a blast-proof room, using Elmer's 
brand wood glue to assist in maintaining its 
structural stability. Item was placed inside 
SCP-3652 by D-0192 and the object 
manipulated into a position which could be 
reasonably described as "closed" 

Results: SCP-3652 repaired itself over a 
period of five (5) minutes, sloughing off wood 
glue as it did so. No sound was observed 
throughout this time. SCP-3652 then appeared 
to begin its function, apparent by the sound of 
rubbing cloth. SCP-3652 was opened, with 
results similar to Test 1. Bottom of object was 
no longer damp as observed after Test 4. 
D-0192 expressed a desire to insert a member 
of research personnel into SCP-3652 and as 
such was reassigned, though his suggestion of 
placing a living item inside SCP-3652 was 


noted. 

Analysis: Object repairs itself before 
beginning its function. Level of damage 
needed to begin repair is unknown, as 
dampness observed in Test 4 was not 
changed during Test 5 beyond normal drying, 
but was completely removed in Test 6. 


Test 7 

Item: Adult member of species Felis catus, a 
common housecat 

Subject: D-4029, 34 years of age 

Procedure: Item was placed inside object 
then closed. 

Results: Sounds of scratching cardboard and 
feline distress were observed for 
approximately 2 minutes. In response to this, 
D-4209 attempted to open the object via 
various means such as lifting the flaps and 
tearing it, but was unable to. After 5 minutes 
had elapsed from the closure of the object, box 
was opened by research personnel (as D-4209 
refused) to reveal the item's skin, surrounded 
by its organs (still connected) and a pool of 
extracellular fluid. D-4209 was reprimanded for 
attempting to interrupt testing procedure. 
Analysis: Object works on living creatures 
and appears to be unable to be opened or 
damaged by any means while carrying out its 
functions. Review of procedure of selection of 
D-class personnel is requested, as interfering 
with testing procedure due to reasons 
including personal morals is severely 
discouraged. 


Test 8 
Item: Polyester shirt 


Subject: D-3251, 19 years of age 
Procedure: D-3251's knowledge of the phrase 
"turn inside out" was cleared using an 
amnestic agent. They were then re-educated 
that the phrase was synonymous with "turn 
into a red rubber ball". 

Results: Similar to Test 1. No red rubber ball 
observed in SCP-3652. 

Analysis: Subject's belief on the meaning of 
the phrase "turn inside out" appears to have 
limited influence on the function of SCP-3652 
in certain cases. Further investigation required 
to ascertain how SCP-3652 gains knowledge 
of subject's personal belief on the meaning of 
the phrase "turn inside out", as well as where 
the line is drawn on said meanings deviating 
too far from the norm and SCP-3652's 
"default" behaviour when it encounters this. 


Something horrible, probably. And the blood never stopped leaking 
from the walls. Sometimes | thought | was covered in it. Sometimes 
it disappeared and then it would come back with new corpses. The 
thumping and screaming from faraway never stopped. 


[Subject pauses. ] 


Janice Erickson: After a long, long time the corpses kind of faded 
and the room stopped seeming so red. It felt like being half woken 

up. | realized | could move my legs again and | got out of that room 
as fast as | could. I'd spent a little over twelve hours in there, alone. 


Interviewer: Did you return? 


Janice Erickson: No, | never did. The next day | went directly to 
Carla and told her | quit. But she immediately offered me double the 
high salary | was already being paid. Said Mr. [REDACTED] liked 
me, liked how quiet | was, and probably wouldn't be hiring anyone 
new for the next few weeks. | tried to tell her about the room and she 
clammed up and said something about 'fumes' and that she'd look 
into it. | went home and held my daughter for a long time and 
thought about what kinds of jobs | could get somewhere else. But 
the money ... it was just too good. | convinced myself that | must 
have inhaled something weird, maybe some kind of delayed reaction 
from burning the tapestry, or maybe that was the revenge from the 
tapestry for burning it and everything would be fine now. So... | went 
back. | told Carla I'd take the offer if | didn't have to go in the atrium 
again. She wasn't really happy about it but agreed. And you know 
what? Everything was fine for the next two and a half months. 


Interviewer: What happened after two and a half months? 


Janice Erickson: | was taking a nap on a couch on the second floor 
at the end of my shift before going home. I'd gotten... comfortable, | 
guess. | was having anxious dreams and woke up to hear 
whispering. Familiar whispering, just like I'd heard in the atrium the 
other nights. | couldn't believe what was happening - | thought 
maybe | was still dreaming. Then the walls started bleeding and | 
couldn't walk again. That's when they... appeared. 


[Subject pauses a long time.] 


SCP-3654: WarTime 


Item #: SCP-3654 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Naval Site-821 has been built 
on Ototo-jima and has been staffed with personnel experienced with 
repair and restoration of World War 2 Era watercraft. Staff should 
patrol the waters around the Chichi-Jima group of islands to search 
for SCP-3654. If SCP-3654 has not been found by the projected 
date, search teams are to be sent to the other island groups in the 
Bonin islands. 


Once SCP-3654 has been found, it is to be towed or escorted to 
Naval Site-821, where it will be repaired and refueled. Items found 
within its cabin should be documented but left undisturbed. Before 
SCP-3654's projected disappearance, munitions and rations are to 
be placed on the boat. Personnel who wish to add extra-dimensional 
sensors to the vessel should speak with the current project 
supervisor. 


Description: SCP-3654 is a possibly alternate version of the 
PT-658, a World War 2 era motor torpedo boat. The vessel displays 
wear consistent with several decades of continuous use. The interior 
of SCP-3654 has living quarters for eight men, with the remaining 
bunks turned into additional storage areas. Personal effects within 
the vessel indicate it is crewed by American soldiers, however the 
language present on the written documents and signage is in an as 
of yet undecipherable language. Maps found in the captain's 
quarters indicate SCP-3654 is or was part of an invasion force 
planned for mainland Japan. 


The primary anomalous trait of the vessel is a cycle of existence and 
non-existence, each lasting for approximately 29 days. When 
SCP-3654 disappears, no living organic matter will transport with it. 
On multiple occasions, it has shown to be capable of autonomous 


movement without the use of its engines. 


SCP-3654 was first discovered in 1978 by a civilian science vessel 
that was exploring the Bonin Islands. At the time, it was heavily 
damaged, with two of the three engines out of commission. The 
vessel was covered in makeshift camouflage that was composed of 
packed mud and decaying plant matter. An initial analysis of 
SCP-3654 revealed a significant amount of crushed or broken 
timepieces and clocks sitting on a pile of partially burnt calendar 
pages. Chalk markings, possibly counting number of kills, have been 
noted next to the defensive turrets. 


Addendum: Notable changes to SCP-3654 or the items within it 
have been recorded and listed below. 


Date: - -1980 


Notes: Bunk #7 was found emptied of personal effects 
save for a picture of a soldier, several bottles of alcohol, 
and a small pile of dried tropical flora. 


Date: - -1980 


Notes: The chalk markings next to the defensive turrets 
increased dramatically, rising from an average of 6 
marks to 27 marks. 


Date: - -1982 


Notes: A note was found wedged near the vessel's 
wheel. It contained symbols and pictures that appeared 
to request munitions and food. The containment 
procedures were appended to include these materials 
following a testing period. 


Date: - -1982 


Notes: Following the implementation of including rations 
when SCP-3654 disappears, another note was found 
near the vessel's wheel. The pictures depicted crude 
drawings of Japanese boats on fire, and the image of a 
clock. 


Date: - -1983 


Notes: A sundial, composed of a palm trunk with chalk 
markings, was found on the deck of SCP-3654 


Date: - -1983 


Notes: The sundial was found missing, but the markings 
remained. Investigation of the ship revealed the palm 
trunk broken into pieces and hidden under Bunk #8. 


Date: - -1985 


Notes: Multiple crewmen on the ship appeared to have 
moved their sleeping quarters nearer to the engine. A 
chalk line was drawn halfway between the bunks and the 
new sleeping area. 


Date: - -1991 


Notes: The captain's quarters were found ransacked. A 
destroyed pocket watch was found in the center of the 
cabin. 


Date: - -1991 


Notes: A barrier constructed of palm trunks with metal 
bars was blocking access to one of the cargo areas. 
Multiple bullet holes were found in the barrier. Behind 
several of the cargo containers, a paper calendar was 
discovered, with a large number of dates randomly 
crossed off. 


Date: - -1998 


Notes: Multiple shrines and pyres were discovered in 
burnt or semi-burnt states throughout SCP-3654. 


Date: - -2009 


Notes: The interior of the ship became covered in a 
massive amount of hand drawn clock faces, calendar 


pages, and symbols from their written language. 
Date: - -2014 


Notes: SCP-3654 was found in a small cove and 
appeared to have been intentionally scuttled. A large 
dark-brown stain, later discovered to be blood, was 
found in the center of the deck. 


SCP-3655: The Last Resort 


An external view of SCP-3655’s main structure, obtained by MTF 


Epsilon-9. 


Item #: SCP-3655 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Owing to the location and 
nature of SCP-3655, constant physical containment has been 
deemed impractical. Containment procedures should therefore 
centre on the suppression of public knowledge pertaining to the 
existence, location and nature of SCP-3655 and the doctoring of 
satellite and telescopic images of the structure. 


The interior of the anomaly should be patrolled on a bi-monthly basis 
by MTF Epsilon-9, accessed from the nearby Lunar-Area 32 using 
Foundation lunar-surface vehicular technology. Any changes to the 
interior of the structure should be noted and investigated 
immediately. 


Description: SCP-3655 is an exact replica of Las Vegas’ “The Mint” 
Hotel and Casino located on the lunar surface, approximately seven 
kilometres from Oceanus Procellarum’: (“Ocean of Storms”). Based 
on physical evidence collected from within the structure, it is 
probable the duplication of SCP-3655 occurred at some point within 
the month of December, 1966, although no notable suspicious or 
anomalous activity was reported by the hotel’s inhabitants during 
this period. The means behind SCP-3655’s appearance on the lunar 
surface are currently unknown. 


Internally, the structure maintains an atmosphere identical to that of 
Earth, a constant temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and generates 
or receives water and electricity from an unknown source. However, 
the interior remains the only area fit for human habitation, as normal 
lunar conditions resume beyond the outer limits of the structure. 


Of note is the significant amount of damage sustained by the interior 
of the structure, most prominently within the foyer area of the hotel 
and the central gambling hall of the casino. Furniture and equipment 
lie vandalised throughout, the foyer has sustained a large amount of 
fire damage and human remains recovered from beneath 
floorboards suggest the widespread occurrence of violence following 
SCP-3655’s appearance. 


Discovery: A potential lunar anomaly was first brought to the 
Foundation’s attention during the immediate aftermath of NASA’s 
Apollo-12 mission, when Foundation assets embedded within the 
agency discovered reports of “lunar lights” from Apollo 12’s crew. 
Further research conducted by the Foundation was later able to 
verify these claims, with the source being identified as a large, 
unknown object in close proximity to the Apollo-12 mission site. 
Despite this knowledge, owing to the limitations of the Foundation’s 
astronomic capabilities at the time, the duplicated structure was not 
fully explored and did not receive SCP-classification until / /76, an 
estimated ten years following its appearance. 


Upon Foundation discovery, the remains of some 189 inhabitants of 
the hotel were found throughout the complex in various states of 
decay, suggesting the anomalous event that led to the duplication of 
“The Mint” similarly affected any guests present within the structure 
at the exact moment of duplication. However, this number falls far 
short of the average number of inhabitants within the hotel and 
casino at any given time in 1966, suggesting that a significant 
number of these visitors were either spared the effects of the 
duplication or have not yet been discovered in or around SCP-3655. 


+ Addendum 3655-1A 


Addendum 3655-1A: The following are excerpts from a 
journal recovered from the office of Harrison Garcia 
within SCP-3655: casino floor manager for “The Mint” 
between 1965 and 1976, likely detailing the events within 
SCP-3655 leading up to and directly following the 
duplication event. The original Harrison Garcia died of 
natural causes in 2004. 


12/06/66: As expected, things have been 


picking up around here along with the holiday 
season. Good for the casino and hopefully 
good for Team Garcia too. More gamblers 
equal more opportunity! At the rate the 
numbers are growing, my team and | may be 
hard pressed to keep things running smoothly, 
but still, duty calls. We'll make it work and I'll 
make this worthwhile.
