Addendum 1979-A: The interface does not speed or slow the 
speed of light crossing it. Rather, the energy of the light is increased 
or decreased according to which direction it is crossing. For 
instance, light crossing from the faster to the slower side of the 
interface upshifts such that radio waves, microwaves or infrared light 
becomes visible and visible light becomes ultraviolet light, X-rays or 
gamma rays, depending on the severity of the differential. Light 
crossing from the slower to the faster side experiences a similar 
downshifting. This was discovered during experimentation when 
D-1979-337 was induced to run at 10 km/h for 1 subjective minute. 
When she ceased running 15 days later, she displayed an intense 
sunburn over every exposed patch of skin and moderate retinal 
damage. She further reported that the overhead lighting had 
appeared to glow blue before it became blindingly bright.

SCP-1980: Alien Invasion 


Item #: SCP-1980 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-1980 is immovable, 
Research and Containment Site-79 has been built surrounding it, 
under cover of building a neutrino observation telescope. Standard 
Foundation access restrictions apply. 


All active examples of SCP-1980-1 (whether found within SCP-1980 
or elsewhere) are to be transported to Site-41 for containment and 
experimentation. It is critical that no direct human contact is made 
with an instance of SCP-1980-1, outside of approved experiments. 


Any person believed to have been exposed to SCP-1980-1 is 
henceforth designated an example of SCP-1980-2, and is to be 
contained and transported to Site-41 for interrogation and forcible 
removal of SCP-1980-1. After removal of SCP-1980-1, non-D-Class 
subjects may be given Class-A amnestics and released. MTF 
operatives should be aware that it is possible to internally implant 
SCP-1980-1 within a subject, producing an example of SCP-1980-2 
with no obvious anomalies. SCP-1980-2 specimens may be housed 
in a standard humanoid containment cell and have no unusual care 
requirements. 


SCP-1980-3, the mechanism for creation of additional examples of 
SCP-1980-1, is currently within SCP-1980. Relocation to Site-41 will 
be undertaken when possible. By O5 order, SCP-1980-3 is not to be 
used until such relocation takes place. 


Biological artifacts (SCP-1980-4 and SCP-1980-5) in suspended 
animation within SCP-1980 are not to be disturbed. If any such 
items become animate, they should be contained if possible, 
otherwise terminated. 


Description: SCP-1980 is a structure located approximately 2.4 km 
under the Antarctic ice, approximately 400 km from the South Pole 
at coordinates [REDACTED]. Based on the depth at which it was 
found, SCP-1980 was constructed approximately 14.5 million years 
ago in one of the last temperate zones on the Antarctic continent. 


Usage as a scientific research base is presumed based on finding: 


(1) A telescope, apparently fixed for long-term observation of an 
area of intergalactic space at coordinates [REDACTED]. No 
significant astronomic bodies or activity noted in this area. 


(2) Approximately 5000 examples of SCP-1980-1; metallic discs 
approximately 10cm in diameter, composed of a tungsten-rhenium 
alloy and partially overlaid with a crystalline structure of unknown 
composition. Interrogation of SCP-1980-2 subjects indicates that 
each SCP-1980-1 contains the consciousness of an individual of an 
unknown sapient race, presumed to be the builders of SCP-1980. 
Based on the number of SCP-1980-1 found, SCP-1980 is part of a 
much larger complex or colony. 


(3) A biological containment area, containing several primitive 
hominids (SCP-1980-4) in suspended animation, as well as an entity 
(SCP-1980-5) closely resembling the description of a [REDACTED] 
within SCP- 


(4) SCP-1980-3, a machine used to create additional examples of 
SCP-1980-1, based on information gained through interrogating 
SCP-1980-2 subjects. 


(5) Records documenting the activities of the inhabitants of 
SCP-1980. See Addendum 3 for translation of relevant excerpts. 


A human subject in contact with SCP-1980-1 will have his/her higher 
mental functions dominated by those of the entity contained within 
SCP-1980-1. These subjects are designated SCP-1980-2. The 
process takes approximately six hours, during which the subject is 
unconscious. Upon awakening, SCP-1980-1 will have control of the 
subject, and significant access to the subject’s knowledge and 
memories. Removal of SCP-1980-1 negates this effect, leaving the 
subject physically unharmed, but disoriented in a manner 


resembling the application of amnestics. The degree of 
disorientation is commensurate with the amount of time exposed to 
SCP-1980-1.1 


Existing SCP-1980-1 instances contain the consciousness of the 
builders of SCP-1980. However, it is apparently possible to create 
additional examples of SCP-1980-1 from any sapient being, using 
SCP-1980-3 and a blank template of SCP-1980-1. 68 such 
templates were found. The research team working on replicating 
SCP-963-1 has successfully made use of SCP-1980 materials to 
create SCP-963-2 determined it is not possible to recreate 
SCP-1980-3 or SCP-1980-1 templates using current human 
technology. 


Addendum 1: SCP-1980 was discovered in 2010, when an 
automated distress signal activated and was intercepted by 
Foundation personnel. The signal was traced and the surrounding 
area contained as Site-79. Extensive hot-water drilling has allowed 
limited access to SCP-1980. 


The initial research team investigating SCP-1980 was compromised 
by SCP-1980-1 exposure, before the effects of SCP-1980-1 were 
fully known. Team leader Dr. abandoned his post and removed 
approximately 500 examples of SCP-1980-1 from the site. Dr. 

has not been recovered by the Foundation, and it is assumed that 
there are now a significant number of uncontained instances of 
SCP-1980-2, with unknown motivations. MTF Zeta-29 is responsible 
for their ongoing capture and containment. 27 examples of 
SCP-1980-2 are contained as of / /2012, including 6 intentionally- 
exposed D-Class subjects. 


Addendum 2: 
Interviewed: Dr. Martin, a member of the original 


exploration/containment team, and now an instance of 
SCP-1980-2 


Interviewer: Dr. Baker 


Foreword: When it was discovered that the exploration 
team was compromised, all members other than Dr. 


were successfully contained and interrogated. 
<Begin Log> 
Dr. Baker: First, let’s dispense with the idea that you're 
unaffected by SCP-1980. We know what SCP-1980-1 


does, and we know your team was exposed. 


Dr. Martin: Fine. Dr. will complete his mission no 
matter what | tell you. You can’t stop us. 


Dr. Baker: Who exactly are "us?" 
Dr. Martin: Our people. We built the place you found. 
Dr. Baker: Where are you from? 


Dr. Martin: [REDACTED]. We have no where else to go. 
[REDACTED] was destroyed. This is our home now. 


Dr. Baker: ...and what do you intend to do here? 


Dr. Martin: Live. As long as we can. We wear your 
people because we have to. 


Dr. Baker: Were you always like this? "Wearing" others? 


Dr. Martin: No, we were once like you, until we had to 
defend ourselves from...how to say it in your language... 
those who came from outside. 


Dr. Baker: So you were invaded? 


Dr. Martin: Yes. By the [REDACTED]. And their 
masters, the ... Screamers from Beyond. They are why 
we converted. The Screamers could not see us 
afterwards. 


Dr. Baker: | see. And you were watching, in case the 
invaders came back? 


Dr. Martin: Yes. They will! You should convert too! It's 
the only way to protect yourselves. The process should 
work. We would help you. 


Dr. Baker: We should become like you? 


Dr. Martin: Yes! You could wear your own bodies...you 
would hardly know the difference. 


Dr. Baker: | can see the advantages...still... 


Dr. Martin: You must do it! They will come back! It will 
be too late then... 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Subject grew agitated, and has 
regularly tried to convince Foundation personnel to use 
SCP-1980-3 to "convert" themselves into instances of 
SCP-1980-2. 


Addendum 3: Excerpts from records found in SCP-1980, translated 
by subject D-19213 while exposed to an instance of SCP-1980-1. 


"Contact lost with [REDACTED]. Can only assume the worst. Hope 
they were able to convert themselves in time." 


"We watch the access point continually. So far, we are safe here." 


"We were wrong! [REDACTED] are pouring out of the access point. 
So many! They must plan to hit every Class-J planet in this part of 
the galaxy. There was no escape after all. Convert and prepare; 
what else can we do?" 


"70% of us lost...need to find new hosts for the modules. The local 


life here is incompatible for transfer. tried to merge witha 
captured [REDACTED]; knew that wouldn't work...they are too 
different. 


"One of the last ... our bodies may feed the Screamers, but perhaps 
someone will find our minds."

SCP-1981: "RONALD REAGAN CUT UP WHILE 
TALKING" 


Item #: SCP-1981 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1981 is to be kept inside a 
secure video storage unit at the media archive of Site . When in 
use, SCP-1981 should not be removed from its casing or exposed to 
any strong magnetic sources. A Betamax home video system and 
an analog television has been provided in Observation Theatre 02 at 
Site , as well as video equipment to record viewings. 


Description: SCP-1981 is a standard Betamax tape. "RONALD 
REGAN CUT UP WHILE TALKING"(sic) has been handwritten on 
the adhesive sticker in felt tip pen. Laboratory analysis indicates that 
SCP-1981 is made of ordinary material, and serial numbers 
correspond with home cassette tapes produced in September of 
1980. SCP-1981 was initially encountered by a filing clerk in the 
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in 1991, who upon watching it 
alerted the police, with the intent to find the tape's creator to press 
"obscenity charges". A low-level police investigation was conducted, 
at which point the Foundation was alerted and secured SCP-1981. 
Class A amnestics were administered before could be notified. 
Further investigation of the library's records by Foundation 
personnel failed to yield any leads on SCP-1981's origin. 


SCP-1981 appears to be a home video recording of former United 
States President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Evil Empire" speech 
to the National Association of Evangelicals at Sheraton Twin Towers 
Hotel, Orlando, FL on 3/8/1983. However, at 1 minute and 10 
seconds, the speech begins to deviate heavily, eventually 
resembling no known speech ever made by Reagan. Beginning at 
approximately 5 minutes, multiple incisions, lacerations and 
penetration wounds can be seen being slowly inflicted, though no 


corresponding source of these wounds is visible. Despite suffering 
bodily harm that would likely incapacitate an ordinary person, 
Reagan will continue to deliver his speech until either his vocal 
cords are severed or the tape degrades to static at 22:34. 


Upon rewinding SCP-1981 and initiating playback, Reagan will 
deliver an entirely new speech, often radically different from the 
ones previously observed. Topics have included torture, child 
molestation and ritual sacrifice. Trauma inflicted upon Reagan also 
appears to be divergent, with impalement, genital mutilation, and 
[REDACTED] having all been observed. In roughly one in seven 
viewings of SCP-1981, a figure clothed in black robes with a conical 
hood will have replaced a random member of Reagan's press detail, 
henceforth referred to as SCP-1981-1. The significance of the 
appearance of SCP-1981-1 is currently unknown. 


The speeches delivered by Reagan are mostly incoherent, lacking 
any sort of underlying thematic structure and largely being 
composed of nonsensical anecdotes and parables. However, 
occasionally references are made to future events that Reagan 
could not possibly have known about or predicted, such as the 
September 11 terrorist attacks, the result of the 2008 Russian 
elections, and . For this reason, rigorous time and effort 
has been devoted to recording the speech delivered on each 
playback. Attempts to replicate SCP-1981 onto a similar Betamax 
tape have met with failure, however, cameras used to record the 
television SCP-1981 is broadcasted on have succeeded in 
"capturing" individual playbacks. Any observations performed on 
SCP-1981 must be recorded on the camcorder provided, and 
delivered for subsequent review to Dr. B __, project supervisor. 


Years of natural magnetic interference has severely degraded 
SCP-1981's signal quality, making it even more difficult to sift 
meaningful information from playbacks. Additionally, the gruesome 
nature of the mutilations performed upon Reagan have been 
described as "extremely disturbing", and for this reason it is 
recommended that any personnel feeling squeamish or ill after 
playback visit the on-site psychiatry facility for a level 3 evaluation. 


As Ronald Reagan was alive at the time of SCP-1981's 
containment, a surveillance net was deployed to establish any 


relation between him and SCP-1981. No known connection was 
developed, though Reagan would frequently complain about 
"nightmares" before his mental state degenerated due to 
Alzheimer's.

0:17:24 - Reagan: A renewal of the traditional 
values that have been the tendons of this 
country's strength. One recent survey by a 
Washington-based researcher concluded that 
Americans were far more willing to participate 
in cannibalism than they have in the past 
hundred years. America is a nation that will not 
suffer abominations lightly. Seven. And that is 
the core of the awakening. Twelve. Eighteen. 
We will stop al-Qaeda. Now there you go 
again. 


0:17:53 - [Applause] 


0:18:02 - Reagan: For the first time we have 
risen, and | see we are being consumed. | see 
circles that are not circles. Billions of dead 
souls inside containment. Unravellers have 
eaten country's moral fabric, turning hearts 
into filth. I'm from a kingdom level above 
human. What does that yield? A hokey smile 
that damns an entire nation. 


0:18:43 - There is no hope. 
0:18:59 - [Applause] 


0:19:15 - [Reagan winces back, as if 
experiencing severe pain. Several new 
lacerations begin to manifest across bare eye 
socket, as well as punctures appearing to 
penetrate forehead and temples. Remainder of 
left arm is now cleanly bisected. ] 


0:19:59 - Reagan: Further consensus has 
proven that over half of all Americans still hate. 
Eaten whole by void. The emptiness. The 
sadness. The blackness. The darkness. 
<laughter> 


0:20:30 - [Laughter continues until signal 
degrades into static]
