Experimentation on SCP-1078 requires written consent of at least 
one (1) Level 4 researcher. All D-Class personnel involved in 
experiments involving SCP-1078 will be exempted from monthly 
termination, although it is recommended that no subject be allowed 
to host SCP-1078 for longer than one year owing to increased 
possibility of suicide and potential loss of SCP-1078 itself. During 
the experiment, subject must be monitored at all times for signs of 
suicidal tendencies. Nothing that could be used for suicide attempts 
is to be allowed inside of the containment cell. Upon termination of 
the subject, or in the event of suicide, the room must be immediately 
entered and SCP-1078 directly observed. A member of medical staff 
must be present at all times and equipped to remove SCP-1078 
from the host; they must be called immediately upon confirmation of 
the death of an experimental subject. 


Description: SCP-1078 is a small spherical glass eye of a form 
consistent with late 19th-century German glassblowing techniques. 
Shavings have confirmed the material to be high-quality blown 
glass, although no sample has been retrieved from a depth of 
greater than . mm. When not fully retracted, bristles composed 
mainly of copper extrude from a 0.25-cm2 area directly opposite the 


object's "pupil". The iris of the object is capable of alteration in color; 
when worn by a subject, it alters to match the color of the eye that 
was originally in that socket; this change is exact even if the user 
exhibits heterochromia and the previous eye was completely 
removed (see Experiment 1078-2). In addition, when worn the iris 
has been seen to contract or expand in response to outside lighting 
conditions, and moves along with the normal eye even if the 
subject's eye muscles are no longer functional. 


When inserted into the eye socket of a person missing one or both 
eyes, the "bristles" will extend and incorporate themselves into the 
optic nerve. Autopsies of test subjects have confirmed that this is 
accomplished by barbs of pure silver that extrude from the bristles. 
Subjects describe this process, which takes approximately two 
hours, as an itching sensation, but none have reported pain during 
the process except for the subject of Experiment 1078-8, which is 
expected due to the experiment resulting in [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
After a period of time ranging from twelve hours to a few days, 
integration with neural processes is complete, and subjects report a 
steadily growing ability to see through the eye. Full visual acuity is 
confirmed within a month in all cases, and eye tests have confirmed 
that over the following weeks, the subject's eyesight steadily 
becomes more and more sharp. While more subjective, other tests 
indicate that the subject's auditory and tactile senses also sharpen 
during this period. 


After a period lasting between 3 and 7 months, the subject's sensory 
abilities will peak. Starting from this point, SCP-1078 will begin to 
selectively erase auditory and visual input from human subjects. 
This process will initially manifest as blurring of the image of select 
humans and sound that subjects have described as "like a radio 
that's stuck between two channels" when a selected human is 
speaking. Over time, targets will be erased completely from the 
subject's vision and hearing. This includes all video, photographic, 
and audio recordings. Tactile senses have been confirmed to be 
unaffected by this process for reasons unknown. In addition, targets’ 
effects on the surrounding area will still be visible or audible; doors 
will still be seen to open, and any non-vocal sounds such as 
clapping will be audible. This allows communication with late-stage 
subjects through the use of writing. 


The process of erasure begins with a small number of people, no 
more than five at initial onset. Complete erasure of all current targets 
is confirmed by experiment to be simultaneous. However, the 
number of targeted individuals in each "round" increases 
exponentially. In the late stages, testing indicates that the subject is 
unable to perceive any human excepting themselves, and in one 
case has been shown to start losing sensory input from animal life. 


The erasure process causes slowly developing paranoia and 
psychosis in the subject; this is confirmed to be a result of the 
isolation, not a direct effect of SCP-1078. However, subject 
D-1078-8 reported vivid auditory and visual hallucinations; it is 
believed now that during the late stages of SCP-1078's integration, it 
not only blocks out all stimuli from humans but also creates false 
stimuli in the mind of its host. Subjects that are not terminated 
invariably take their own life, either directly out of despair or by 
desperately trying to wrench SCP-1078 out of their eye socket and 
dying from the resulting cranial hemorrhage. Subject D-1078-8 was 
prevented from suicide, but after a period of 15 years expired due to 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Through a process currently unknown to Foundation researchers, a 
short period after death, SCP-1078 will vanish from the host body 
and reappear elsewhere, in one case turning up months later in the 
town of , approximately km distant from the previous 
containment location. Following death of the subject, SCP-1078 
retracts its bristles; if retrieved in a timely fashion it will not 
disappear. However, SCP-1078 has vanished from its containment 
on separate occasions prior to current containment procedures. 


Regardless of the stage, all attempts to remove SCP-1078 froma 
host after optic nerve integration result in a severe and invariably 
fatal cranial hemorrhage in the subject. This effect is observed 
regardless of whether the subject or an outside observer attempted 
the removal. 


Lastly, it should be noted that following Experiment 1078-6, 
researchers discovered that SCP-1078 emits a low amount of 
electromagnetic radiation when properly incorporated into a human 
being. It is currently unknown whether or not these emissions 
constitute a coherent signal, but containment has been updated to 


prevent possible communication with unknown entities. 
+Experiment Log 1078 


Test Number: Experiment 1078-1 

Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-1), male 
Caucasian, 58 years of age. Subject lost eye due to 
[REDACTED] before remission to Foundation. 
Procedure: SCP-1078 was given to the subject; subject 
instructed to insert SCP-1078 into his empty eye socket. 
Results: Subject complied with instructions, and 
reported an "itching" sensation for approximately one 
hour after insertion. Subject was afforded access to a 
furnished one-person containment cell, with daily vision 
tests and weekly psychological evaluation. 

Subject's condition proceeded as outlined above, with 
vision from the eye after one month and increasing 
sensitivity following. A visual acuity test administered 
shortly before termination of the experiment returned a 
result of 20/ . After six months, D-1078-1 reported 
difficulty seeing and hearing the psychologist. The 
following visit, D-1078-1 was unable to see or hear the 
psychologist in any way, and further interaction was 
carried out by writing. Symptoms proceeded as indicated 
until termination of D-1078-1 one year after implantation. 
Following termination, SCP-1078 retracted its "bristles" 
and was removed. D-1078-1 was subsequently 
incinerated. 


Test Number: Experiment 1078-2 

Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-2), female 
Caucasian, 24 years of age. Right eye infected and 
surgically removed due to a botched cataract operation. 
Lost eye was confirmed by records to be lighter in shade 
than the remaining eye. Prior to testing, subject's visual 
acuity was measured as 20/50. 

Procedure: SCP-1078 was inserted into the subject's 
empty socket by Researcher G . Subject's 
eyeglasses were taken away for the duration of the 
experiment. 


Results: Subject's vision in the eye replaced by 
SCP-1078 developed as normal. Observation showed 
that SCP-1078 turned the shade of her right eye rather 
than matching to her left eye. After full vision was 
attained, tests showed a rapid increase in visual acuity. 
As before, D-1078-2 was terminated one year after 
implantation; the final test performed on her indicated an 
acuity of 20/ , the same result as that of D-1078-1. 
Conclusions: Regardless of subject's visual acuity at 
the time of insertion, the peak sensory ability attained by 
someone hosting SCP-1078 appears to be the same. 
Also, SCP-1078 will activate regardless of who implanted 
it. 


Test Number: Experiment 1078-3 

Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-3), male 
African, 35 years of age. Eye surgically removed while in 
Foundation custody. 

Procedure: SCP-1078 was held against the subject's 
bare forearm for fifteen minutes. 

Results: Subject reported excruciating pain for several 
minutes and was observed to bleed. Attempts to remove 
the object during this period only worsened the pain. At 
the conclusion of this period, subject let out a scream 
and collapsed, upon which SCP-1078 fell from his arm 
and was quickly retrieved. Observers noted that at the 
time of retrieval the "bristles" had completely retracted 
into the eye. Subject made a full recovery, and reported 
a horrible pain "like someone shoved a red-hot needle all 
the way up my arm and into my eye". No injuries 
observed in the subject except for a number of puncture 
wounds to the forearm. 

Conclusions: SCP-1078 must be implanted directly into 
the eye to activate; attachment to other parts of the body 
do not appear to work. 

Note: Suggest further testing to determine what is 
particularly special about the eye socket; could other 
parts of the body work? 


Test Number: Experiment 1078-6 


Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-6), male Asian, 
35 years of age. Eye surgically removed while in 
Foundation custody. 

Procedure: D-1078-6 was placed under general 
anesthesia and an incision made into the back of the 
head to allow for direct contact between SCP-1078 and 
the brainstem of the subject. 

Results: [DATA EXPUNGED] All personnel in the room 
were killed, and subject self-terminated by attempting to 
forcibly remove SCP-1078. By the time medical teams 
reported to the testing chamber, SCP-1078 had 
vanished, and was not recovered for a period of 
months. 

Note: As desirable as the idea of having "eyes on the 
back of the head" might be, it is clear that SCP-1078 
reacts undesirably to direct contact with neural tissue. 
Let's not try that one again. -Dr. R 

Addendum: Review of surveillance equipment showed 
static for a period of frames of video following 
expiration of D-1078-6. Prior to this, careful analysis of 
tapes showed slight amounts of interference and fast- 
period variation in the brightness of the overhead lights. 
The possibility was raised that SCP-1078 emits 
electromagnetic radiation while integrated with human 
neural tissue. 


Test Number: Experiment 1078-7 

Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-7), female 
African, 54 years of age. Both eyes intact. 

Procedure: D-1078-7 was instructed to hold SCP-1078 
against her bare forearm, while an electric multimeter 
was applied to various pairs of "bristles". Antennas were 
placed at various distances from the subject. 

Results: As before, subject reported high levels of pain 
in her forearm. Multimeter readings indicated a flow of 
current through the bristles. All current readings 
decreased exponentially with time, suggesting that 
SCP-1078 incorporates multiple capacitors in its 
construction. Current flow ceased after bristles retracted; 
monitoring indicated no electromagnetic radiation from 


SCP-1078. 
Note: Well, maybe it only "broadcasts", if that's what it's 
really doing, if it's properly implanted... 


Test Number: Experiment 1078-8 

Subject: D-1078-7. Eye was not removed prior to 
experiment. 

Procedure: D-1078-7 was restrained, and SCP-1078 
placed directly against the right eye. 

Results: [DATA EXPUNGED] Subject's screams later 
estimated to be ~ dB. Subject survived for minutes 
before breaking free of restraints and self-terminating. 
Readings from antennas confirm electromagnetic 
radiation emitted from SCP-1078 with intensity of 
approximately 500 W/m’2. 

Addendum: Researcher F was the only observer at 
the time, and ceased monitoring of the room to vomit 
following [REDACTED]. SCP-1078 vanished from the 
testing room before a medical team reported. As before, 
all surveillance equipment experienced heavy static for 
exactly frames. Antennae indicate an output radiation 
from SCP-1078 in excess of 0,000 W/m42 during of 
these frames, followed by an abrupt drop to zero. 


Intervening experiments involve animal testing; 
SCP-1078 was not observed to react to any specimens 
other than homo sapiens. 


Test Number: Experiment 1078-13 

Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-8), Caucasian 
male, 21 years at start of experiment. Subject suffered 
from slight occular heterochromia, with one eye a 
noticeably lighter shade of brown than the other. 
Procedure: Long term exposure experiment. Subject's 
lighter-shaded eye was surgically removed and 
SCP-1078 inserted. Subject was given a furnished 
containment cell; walls of cell were constructed to be 
hollow and contain a Faraday cage of mesh size 0.1 mm. 
Walls also contained concealed antennae to receive and 
record various wavelengths of SCP-1078 radiation. 


Results: Integration with SCP-1078 successful and 
without incident. Subject made first suicide attempt after 
four months; subject looked at a picture of [REDACTED], 
screamed, and attempted to hang himself with his 
bedsheets. Armed guards posted thereafter to prevent 
further attempts. Auditory hallucinations confirmed after 
two years; subject reported several times hearing the 
voice of [REDACTED]. Investigation confirmed that the 
individual in question was out of the country at the time. 
After four years, visual hallucinations were confirmed. 
Subject was put on a regimen of anti-psychotic drugs to 
no observed effect. 

Subject's hallucinations grew more vivid with time. After 
years, subject reported hallucinations at least once a 
month consisting of [DATA EXPUNGED]. 15 years after 
the start of the experiment, subject expired and 
SCP-1078 was recovered. Autopsy determined that 
integration with SCP-1078's "bristles" had occurred 
through % of subject's nervous system. 

Throughout testing protocol, electromagnetic radiation 
from SCP-1078 was confirmed at an intensity of 100 W/ 
m2 over a short range of wavelengths centered at 1 
MHz. Analysis of this radiation for signs of a coherent 
signal, as well as the content of any such signal, is 
ongoing.

SCP-1079: Dr Wondertainment's Bubblebath 
Bonbons 


Item #: SCP-1079 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1079 are 
currently stored within Containment Locker-1079 at Site-19. 
Furthermore, watchlist databases are to be updated with 
SCP-1079's information, in order to intercept any new shipments 
which may appear in the future. 


Description: SCP-1079 is the designation given to a number of 
sweets brightly labelled "Dr. Wondertainment's Bubblebath 
Bonbons!®". Currently, the Foundation has_ crates of SCP-1079 in 
containment, originally containing 64 packets each. The label on 
each packet provides the name of the product, and two warnings; 
"Not suitable for children under 3 years", and "Only one sweet is to 
be taken per sitting". In addition, it lists negative percent daily values 
of several nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, none of which are 
present in SCP-1079.
