(SCP-3588-01 produces a bottle of 
Jack Daniel's whiskey from below the 
bar and begins mixing the beverage.) 


SCP-3588-01: | been doin’ this a long 
time. You get to a point where you can 
kind of see it in people's eyes, know 
what | mean? Sort of a knack, | guess. 


D-3588-01: That's pretty impressive. 
Man, it's been a long time since | had 
one of these. 


SCP-3588-01: | hear ya, brother. It's 
tough to find time for a drink with a pal 
sometimes. But you gotta do it, right? 
Basic human need as far as I'm 
concerned. You ever have the 
Gentleman Jack? That's a good bottle 
if you want to up your Jack game. 


D-3588-01: Yeah? I'll have to try it 
sometime. 


SCP-3588-01: I'll give you a taster if 
you wanna stick around after this one, 
| think you'll dig it. 


(SCP-3588-01 places the mixed 
beverage on the bar in front of 
D-3588-01.) 


SCP-3588-01: Wham bam, Jack and 
Coke. 


(D-3588-01 sips the drink.) 


D-3588-01: Perfect. Right on the 
money. A lot of places kind of overdo it

one way or the other, you know? 


SCP-3588-01: Pff, yeah. Lots of 
knuckleheaded pourers out there. Not 
this guy, though, I'm a goddamn 
mixologist. 


(D-3588-01 laughs.) 


D-3588-01: Oh yeah? You get your 
degree? 


SCP-3588-01: You kidding? | didn't go 
to school for six whole weeks for 
nothin’! 


(Test continues without notable event. 
D-3588-01 stays within SCP-3588 for 
three hours longer than agreed-upon 
test duration and emerges heavily 
intoxicated. Test concluded. 
D-3588-01 reprimanded for disobeying 
established test parameters.) 


Trial 3588-03 07/30/2014 


Subject: Researcher Marquez 
Scenario: Subject instructed to 
question SCP-3588-01 in an attempt 
to uncover more information regarding 
its anomalous properties. Subject 
equipped with chest camera, 
microphone, and MX-402 combat 
shotgun. 


(Researcher Marquez enters 
SCP-3588, and discharges her 
provided tactical shotgun directly at 
SCP-3588-01. SCP-3588-01 incurs no 
damage. Several bottles are shattered 
by the weapon's pellets, but 
instantaneously reconstruct, their 
liquids returning to their original 
positions within the containers. 
Researcher Marquez then hangs the 
shotgun by the trigger guard on the 
coat rack near the room's entrance 
and approaches the bar. SCP-3588-01 
laughs.) 


SCP-3588-01: Tough day at the office, 
Steph? 


Researcher Marquez: Nothing 
personal, Jack, just doublechecking. 


SCP-3588-01: Sure, no worries. Still 
makin’ that labcoat look damn good, | 
see. Not uh, like... not that | mean 
anything by that or anything. 


(SCP-3588-01 blushes noticeably.) 


SCP-3588-01: So anyway uh, how 
about a drink? 


Researcher Marquez: Sure. 


SCP-3588-01: Anything uh... in 
particular? 


Researcher Marquez: Surprise me. 
SCP-3588-01: Dirty-as-dishwater gin 


martini with three blue cheese-stuffed 
olives it is. Not to throw shade or 


anything, but that has to be one of the 
weirder ones I've come across. No uh, 
offense. 


Researcher Marquez: What can | 
say? | like olives. 


(SCP-3588-01 begins preparing the 
order.) 


SCP-3588-01: Might as well just dump 
some gin in the jar and put a straw in 
it, huh? 


(Researcher Marquez laughs.) 


Researcher Marquez: | think that 
might be a little much. 


(Pause. SCP-3588-01 begins shaking 
Researcher Marquez's cocktail.) 


SCP-3588-01: | don't wanna pry or 
anything, but you seem kinda blue. 
Something up? 


Researcher Marquez: Mm? Oh. No, 
not really. You caught me thinking 
about my brother. He- 


SCP-3588-01: | know. You don't have 
to say it out loud if you don't want to. 


(Pause. Researcher Marquez sighs.) 


Researcher Marquez: It's hard not to 
miss him. But, life has to go on, | 
guess. 


SCP-3588-01: No truer thing. And you 
know what, he'd want you to unwind a 
bit, | think. | think those other labcoats 


outside are working you too hard. 


Researcher Marquez: I've been 
thinking about putting in for some 
vacation time. I'd be lying if | said | 
wasn't starting to wear a little thin. 


SCP-3588-01: Damn straight, girl. You 
gotta do for you before you can do for 
others. 


(SCP-3588-01 places the drink in front 
of Researcher Marquez. She smiles.) 


Researcher Marquez: Manny used to 
say that kind of thing all the time. 


SCP-3588-01: Yeah? Sounds like he 
was a smart guy. Maybe almost as 
smart as me. Ha. 


(Researcher Marquez sips her drink.) 


Researcher Marquez: Speaking of 
which. Can | ask you some questions, 
Jack? 


SCP-3588-01: No, Steph, you can't 
have my phone number. Because | 
don't have a phone. 


(Laughter.) 


Researcher Marquez: Nice try, tiger. 
No, | mean... like, | shot you with a 
gun a couple minutes ago. 


SCP-3588-01: Oh yeah. | was there. It 
was loud and like... all ballistic and 
stuff, if | remember right. 


Researcher Marquez: So... I'd like an 


explanation, if possible. Bullets don't 
pass through normal people, Jack. 


SCP-3588-01: Uh, yeah. I'ma 
goddamn ghost. | thought you and 
your cadre of nerds out there would 
have put that together by now. 


Researcher Marquez: Hey. I'm not a 
nerd. 


SCP-3588-01: That is a pocket 
protector literally right there. In the 
pocket of your /abcoat. You're not 
foolin' anyone, honey. 


Researcher Marquez: What's the 
square root of 9216? 


SCP-3588-01: 96. 


Researcher Marquez: What's the 
standard atomic weight of osmium? 


SCP-3588-01: 190.23. 


Researcher Marquez: What's the 
diameter of Uranus? 


(SCP-3588-01 smirks.) 


SCP-3588-01: Depends on whether 
you're talking about- 


Researcher Marquez: /he planet. 


SCP-3588-01: 51,118 kilometers, give 
or take a few. 


Researcher Marquez: And where is 
O5 headquarters located? 


SCP-3588-01: [REDACTED] 


(Researcher Marquez sighs, then 
immediately finishes the remainder of 
her drink.) 


SCP-3588-01: ... Sorry. Another? 
Researcher Marquez: Please. 


(SCP-3588-01 produces an exact copy 
of Researcher Marquez's previous 
beverage from beneath the bar and 
sets it on the bartop.) 


Researcher Marquez: There. Not only 
are you a huge nerd, but you're a 
security risk, Jack. Hence the 
containment. Can you shed any light 
on that? At all? 


SCP-3588-01: You're really not gonna 
let up on this, are you. 


Researcher Marquez: It's my job, 
Jack. You probably understand that 
more than most. 


(SCP-3588-01 sighs.) 


SCP-3588-01: Okay. Look. | loved my 
job. | loved it. It's not glamorous, or 
impressive, or technical or important or 
anything like that. | make drinks and | 
give them to people. And | talk to 
those people, about whatever they 
want to talk about. | always did that, 
and after | died, | sure as shit didn't 
want to stop. So | just... kept going, | 
guess. | don't know how. 


Sometimes people need a friend, 


Stephanie. They need someone with a 
cold beer and an ear. Everyone needs 
that every once in a while, no matter 
who they are, and | /oved that | could 
be that for them. | lived for it. | heard a 
lot of fucked up stuff, and | worked my 
hands to the bone, but goddammit | 
loved every second. And | am not 
about to let death stand in the way of 
me being a friend to people who need 
it. 


| don't know how to answer your 
question. But | know how to mix a 
fucking drink, and | know how to hold a 
conversation with someone who wants 
one. | guess you're just gonna have to 
be alright with that. 


(Pause.) 


Researcher Marquez: Okay. Alright, 
Jack, I'm fine with it. Some things 
we're just not meant to know, | guess. | 
didn't mean to upset you. 


SCP-3588-01: It's okay. | know you 
didn't mean anything by it. 


(Pause. Researcher Marquez imbibes 
the remainder of her beverage.) 


SCP-3588-01: You uh... you need 
another one, there? 


Researcher Marquez ... Yeah, alright. 
SCP-3588-01: Atta girl! 


(Testing concludes without incident. 
Researcher Marquez is amnesticized 


and receives a reprimand for exiting 
SCP-3588 outside of dictated 
parameters and becoming intoxicated 
while on duty.) 


SCP-3589: Second Amendment 


Item #: SCP-3589 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3589 is contained in a 
Standard Humanoid Containment Cell in Site-31. SCP-3589's 
current arms and upper body are to remain immobilized in polymer 
gel #MCN119 (replaced monthly). Immediately following conclusion 
of any testing, researchers are to repeatedly remove SCP-3589's 
arms until human extremities emerge, and reapply the gel. 


Nonbiological arms composed of valuable materials may be melted 
down or otherwise scavenged, while biological arms are to be 
cryogenically preserved when not undergoing research. 


Description: SCP-3589 is Armando Rivera, a 34-year-old Mexican- 
American man. 


SCP-3589's anomalous properties manifest when one of its arms is 
removed. At this point, an amorphous mass of stem cells will extend 
from SCP-3589's stump. This growth will rapidly differentiate and 
grow into a new arm within 1.1 seconds. SCP-3589 claims to feel no 
pain during either this process or the initial removal. 


SCP-3589 is capable of forcibly pulling off its own arms with very 
little resistance or difficulty. However, outside attempts to remove 
arms require approximately quadruple the tensile force otherwise 
predicted to dislocate a human shoulder. 


SCP-3589's detached arms can be composed of a large variety of 
materials and are not universally human in morphology!. 


Approximately 30% of extremities generated by SCP-3589 resemble 
nonanomalous human arms. DNA tests have matched these limbs 
to living people; these people do not exhibit any anomalous 


properties or awareness of SCP-3589. Arms composed of gaseous, 
liquid, or amorphous materials retain their shape. Compositions of 
removed arms appear to be generated at random. 


Once detached, biological arms remain functional despite lack of 
blood flow from SCP-3589. Several layers of epidermal tissue seal 
all blood vessels at the point of removal. 


SCP-3589 retains limited motor control of its detached arms, with 
the degree of coordination and control over them correlating 
inversely with the number of instances SCP-3589 attempts to control 
simultaneously. SCP-3589 receives limited sensory information from 
severed arms (primarily touch and proprioception). 


Addendum 3589-01: During an unrelated containment breach, 
SCP-3589 attempted to escape in the ensuing chaos and discarded 
dozens of arms until it had generated several dense metallic ones. 
SCP-3589 interlocked these arms around its body to protect itself, 
and attempted to flee Site security while wielding more arms 
(corresponding to Therizinosaurus, scorpions, and various volatile 
chemicals) as makeshift weapons. 


Dr. Rosa Marquez was Critically injured in the initial breach, losing 
her left arm. While attempting to activate Site lockdown procedures, 
one of SCP-3589's discarded human arms landed near her and 
fused itself to the stump of her absent appendage. SCP-3589 then 
lost control over its detached arms, all of which converged towards 
Dr. Marquez. 


Over 200 arms surrounded Dr. Marquez. Several dozen fused to her 
at their bases, while the remaining limbs arranged themselves into a 
complex polyhedral cage. This cage contracted until it formed a 
spherical shell approximately 2m in diameter. It remained in this 
state for approximately 4 minutes, after which all arms comprising 
this structure disengaged and fell to the ground. SCP-3589 
subsequently remained unable to feel or control any of these arms, 
although none of them have decayed. 


No trace was found of Dr. Marquez.

Containment Engineer 

Ethics Committee Review Board CONDITIONAL** 


“Awaiting further data on SCP-466 threat level. Revised special 
containment procedures may be enacted in the mean time due to 
time constraints. 


**See Memorandum-466-72 for additional details. 


NOTE: The following document is no longer applicable 
and will hence be stricken from the main database. It will 
be archived and referenced for record keeping purposes 
only. Some details may be redacted from this document 
as the new protocols dictate. 


Item #: SCP-466 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-466 is locked in a 5 meter 
by 5 meter by 5 meter room. SCP-466 is to be fed five times a day 
through a one-way slot in the steel door, with low-iron meals of mass 
below 0.1 kg. The key to the door is accessible only to Level 3 or 
higher personnel. 


Description: It is unknown if SCP-466 is a separate pathogen 
affecting a human host, or the human host itself. Current theory 
suggests the former. For clarity, the host individual will be referred to 
as SCP-466-2 and the possible infective agent as SCP-466-1. 


SCP-466-2 is a [REDACTED]. SCP-466-2 exhibits anomalous 
vascular hypertrophy, particularly along the skin. This includes very 
broad arteries and veins not part of normal human anatomy. The 
continually-increasing mass of blood vessels is gradually displacing 
and eroding SCP-466-2's muscles and organs. SCP-466-2 is 
estimated to have approximately liters of blood. 


The excess vessels will sometimes rearrange under the skin, which 


1. The first nonhuman instance resembled the right arm of a brown 
bear (Ursus arctos). 


SCP-3590: A Dirge for the Silent 


Item #: SCP-3590 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All physical documents 
referring and/or describing the execution of SCP-3590 are to be kept 
in standard containment locker SCL27/3590, currently located at 
Safe class containment wing of Site-27. There are no on-going 
research projects dedicated to the analysis of SCP-3590 and 
requests regarding its study should be submitted to Site-27 
administration through appropriate channels (see Form SCP-3590/ 
R, embedded). 


All personnel previously involved in the execution of SCP-3590 have 
received appropriate amnestic treatment. Knowledge of SCP-3590 
is considered nonexistent outside of Foundation databases, but 
reports pertaining to similar phenomena will be monitored to gauge 
the possibility of containment breach. 


Access to earlier iterations of Special Containment Procedures for 
SCP-GAMMAT is currently restricted to authorized Level 3 
personnel. This document is part of the required reading for all 
personnel assigned to SCP-DELTA2. 


Description: SCP-3590 is a ceremony which, when correctly 
performed, will render one of the participants, henceforth referred to 
as SCP-3590-1, completely mute. No physiological changes are 
observed upon analysis of SCP-3590-1 and the process by which 
the participant is rendered unable to speak is not currently 
understood. No means to reverse the process are currently known. 


SCP-3590 bears similarities to several rituals commonly pertaining 
to major Abrahamic faiths, although it cannot be accurately 
attributed to any of them, considering: 


¢ Iconography employed is contradictory and pertains to entirely 
different doctrines. 

¢ Spoken verses cannot be traced to any known religious texts.
