As of 1/19/16, a single surviving instance of SCP-3862-A is cleared 
for light duty and is to be provided on-site quarters only. 


Description: SCP-3862-1 and SCP-3862-2 are 55cm X 80cm 
portions of a ceiling painting originating from the parish church of St. 
Gallus and Ulrich in Germany. Prior to 7/12/16, these paintings 
depicted scenes from the Bible and from the middle ages. However, 
as of 7/12/16, they now display several differences due to the death 
of SCP-3862. 


The sky in SCP-3862-1 is now painted red and black, using digital 
techniques. This pattern strongly resembles an anomalous effect 
produced by Chaos Insurgency weapons during a conflict that led to 
the recovery of SCP-2925. Previously, the sky was a pale orange. 


The figure on the left side of SCP-3862-1 now has a tattoo 
corresponding with personnel records for Agent Jenkins, reported 
MIA during the aforementioned conflict. The corresponding head of 
this figure has a cyan ‘Virgo’ astrological symbol painted on its 
forehead. The central figure is brandishing a M9 pistol instead of a 
sword. This central figure has a faint black circle with a red dot in the 


middle painted on its forehead reminiscent of that of the Chaos 
Insurgency. If so, then the figure depicts POI-813. All other aspects 
of this instance of SCP-3862 are unchanged. 


The face of the central figure in SCP-3862-2 now closely resembles 
O5- . The prone figure has an infohazardous locus-ZGll astrological 
symbol painted on its forehead. The face of the prone figure strongly 
resembles SCP- 


SCP-3862-1 and SCP-3862-2 were discovered by Agent Cutler 
during routine undercover fieldwork as a member of local authorities. 
The priest of the parish church of St. Gallus and Ulrich reported 
signs of vandalism in the church. The police report and descriptions 
of the vandalism included several extrastellar astrological symbols, 
including locus-ZGIl and locus-ZmFy2. Agent Cutler followed up on 
the police report, leading to the discover of a local Chaos Insurgency 
cell (See field report compilation 3862-01). Class-B amnestics were 
later administered to the priest and exposed parishioners to treat the 
infohazardous effects of the astrological signs. 


Chaos Insurgency members had already burned the majority of 
SCP-3862 instances upon being alerted to the ongoing Foundation 
raid of their cell. Only SCP-3862-1 and SCP-3862-2 were recovered 
intact. 


+ MTF After Action Report 3862-01 


Reporting Agent: MTF-Eta 10 Commander 


Narrative: Upon completion of the raid, MTF- 
Eta 10 has secured SCP-3862-1, SCP-3862-2, 
and SCP-3862-A. Remains of SCP-3862 were 
incinerated five days prior to raid, according to 
seized Chaos Insurgency records. Other 
instances of SCP-3862 were destroyed by 
Chaos Insurgency forces during conflict or 
expired within an hour of being in Foundation 
custody. Chaos Insurgency site temporarily 
designated "Site Cl-201607" is under complete 
Foundation control. MTF-Eta 10 has shifted 
80% of security responsibilities to standard 


Foundation security officers. On-site security 
personnel are expected to take full 
responsibility of site within 2 hours, at which 
point containment specialists may be deployed 
to site. 


MTF-Eta 10 gives final report of 12 KIA and 23 
wounded MTF members. Enemy casualties 
are approximately 60-70 KIA and 20-30 
wounded. 12 Chaos Insurgency members 
have been taken into Foundation custody. 2 
captured Foundation personnel have been 
recovered. 


SCP-3862-1 and SCP-3862-2 contain 
anomalous information. SCP-3862-2 contains 
nonlethal infohazardous information. 
Recommended containment procedures for 
SCP-3862 are attached. 


Prior to expiring, SCP-3862-A through 
SCP-3862-D displayed anomalous properties. 
Neutralized instances’ skins depict 5km2 of the 
Pacific Ocean centralized around Campbell 
Island, an aerial view of Site-19, and the inside 
of the cell containing SCP-__. All instances 
suffered an ischemic stroke within an hour 
after being taken into Foundation custody. The 
trigger was discovered shortly after the first 
subject died, but could not be removed from 
two of the other subjects, causing them to 
expire. Subjects’ skin rotted within a few 
minutes of death, and no longer displayed 
information. While alive, subjects exhibited no 
other anomalous behavior or symptoms. 
SCP-3862-A is currently in ICU, but expected 
to survive. 


Evaluation: Many facilities on Site Cl-201607 
could easily be re-purposed for Foundation 


use, given that containment specialists are 
able to adequately contain or neutralize 
remaining anomalous effects. However, Chaos 
Insurgency destroyed or took the majority of 
SCPs stored on site, so this should not be too 
hazardous. Recommend administering 
psychiatric evaluation of SCP-3862-A upon 
discharge from ICU. SCP-3862-A showed 
signs of long-term psychological and physical 
abuse upon initial recovery, prior to suffering 
stroke. 


+ MTF After Action Report 3862-02 


Reporting Agent: Agent Jenkins 


Right. Well. | guess it's been awhile since I've 
done one of these. I'm just going to have 
Cutler write up the formal parts, | can only 
really talk right now. During the events of a 
raid on a Chaos Insurgency site maybe 2-4 
years ago (Refer to MTF Report 
A01A-121129-03 through A01A-121 129-38), | 
got separated from my squad after some scip 
lit up the hallway with this gas. | think it was a 
hallucinogen. But by the end of it, | was alone 
in an unknown part of the facility. One of their 
squads stumbled on me, and shot me up. | 
guess they decided to capture me instead, | 
woke up strapped to a hospital bed in one of 
their facilities. Not the one we were just at, a 
different one. 


| was hooked up to an IV and unconscious for 
most of it, but let me tell you, it wasn't water, 
nutrients, or blood in that IV. It felt like ice. 
Yeah, that's probably the morphine talking, | 
know | had to get this done ASAP for higher 
up, but I'm not really going to have anything 
coherent for you until | sleep this off. What? 


Oh, right. So | don't really know how long | was 
on the IV. | know that | was in the cell that 
Eta-10 found me in for at least six months, 
though. The first day | got transferred from the 
hospital, they interrogated me. But it was all 
nice-like, you know? Like they expected me to 
actually tell them anything. They were very 
startled when | started choking out their 
interrogator. I'm not sure why they didn't kill 
me after that- either they thought it would kick 
in, or they wanted to see why it didn't. 


That was when they showed me the, uh, 
ziggy? symbol. The green s? Yeah. It's burned 
into my head. | don't know what else they were 
pumping into me, but | couldn't look away. | 
thought that they were finally going to break 
through the old chrome dome. But it was just 
another way of interrogation and control. 


During this time, there were a couple of times 
that | heard guards talking about the chaos 
insurgency's scips. They got a weird system, 
it's all generic terms. Like, "the woman in cell 
772." As opposed to what, the hippopotamus 
in cell 772? Do they have a variety of people 
and animals in cells all labeled 77- Oh, sorry. 
But yeah, | didn't really here many details, 
except about the oracle. The whole oracle 
thing started about a month ago, | think it was 
some kind of reality bender. 


About a week ago was when the skin thing 
started. A few minutes before the skin thing, 
klaxons were going off. | guess they have their 
own containment breach protocols. But my 
brain started to burn, and | passed out. | woke 
up, and my skin looked like this. | don't know 
what else to tell you. | learned later from some 
of the guards that the oracle had died, and let 


out a psychic wave that messed with a lot of 
the scips and humans they had nearby. | didn't 
hear about the paintings until Eta-10 found me. 
| was really lucky that Yvette recognized me 
from airborne school, | know I'm still 
technically a scip, but at least now | can be a 
productive one. 


Um, evaluation. right. There's no need to really 
contain SCP-3862-A? I'll be out of the hospital 
in a few weeks, it shouldn't be a problem to 
rejoin my old squad. Honestly, | don't really 
feel all that different from before. Just a little 
beat up, | guess. If you need to quarantine me 
for a bit, that's fine, but | don't think the oracle 
did anything else in her death temper-tantrum. 
Just the space skin. | think | know what they 
tried to do with the IV drip, and why it didn't 
work, but | can't really talk about that kind of 
training in front of you, Cutler. Sorry, just your 
clearance level is all. | Know mine's probably 
suspended right now, with the whole me being 
a scip thing, but | still shouldn't tell you. 


Footnotes 

1. Excerpt fromSymbology in SCPs and Anomalous Items Vol. 19, p. 
1013: The locus-ZGIl symbol resembles the lowercase characters 's' 
and 'f' with a [REDACTED] line bisecting the character at exactly 
180 degrees, creating perfect symmetry. Although it has a 844 nm 
wavelength, to the naked eye it appears to be light green. This 
symbol is commonly found in textual anomalous objects created 
circa 1350 - 1948. It has only been documented in pictorial objects 
in two (2) cases. Viewing this symbol without protection causes 
spinal injuries in 60% of subjects within 1 hour of viewing, and in 
93% of subjects within 24 hours of viewing. In context, this symbol's 
meaning is unclear. Modern English analogues would most likely be 
‘void' or 'without a core,’ though these substitutions do not make 
sense in all texts containing the symbol. Nonanomalous replication 
of the symbol is not possible. This symbol is widespread enough 
that containing all uses of it would be impractical at best, given the 


likeliness ofthe Libraryhaving copies of the texts with the symbol. 
See Appendix B for a full list of known and potential Library books. 
2. Excerpt fromSymbology in SCPs and Anomalous Items Vol. 19, p. 
448: The locus-ZmFy symbol resembles the photophore gland of 
theDiaphus holti, or "small lanternfish," when viewed using a Gen XI 
NVD (Night Vision Device). There are no known anomalous effects 
from viewing this symbol. Modern English analogues for this symbol 
are unknown, but in context it may be the name of a location or 
individual. Nonanomalous replication of the symbol is possible. This 
symbol has only been documented in a single object, but is used 
laboriously throughout it. This object, titledTales from Beyond the 
Sun: A Gentlewoman's Guide to Breaching the Aether and Finding 
True Love amongst the Horrors, was destroyed in 19 during a raid 
by GOC agents.

SCP-3864: I've Been Framed! 


Figure 1: A photograph of SCP-3864 taken upon recovery. Taken 5 


minutes prior to Figure 2. 


Item #: SCP-3864 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3864 is to be hung ona 
wall in a standard containment chamber. Outside of scheduled tests, 
SCP-3864 is to be covered with a thick black cloth at all times. 
Should SCP-3864 grow too large to be completely covered by this 
cloth, D-Class personnel are to be dispatched immediately with an 
appropriately sized replacement. 


SCP-3864's containment chamber is to be kept well-lit and 
monitored via an infrared camera to ensure that it remains 
completely covered at all times. A decibel meter is to be placed no 
less than 15 cm from SCP-3864’s surface. Any changes should be 
reported to the researcher in charge, which is currently Dr. Taylor 
Itkin at the time of this writing. 


Entry into SCP-3864's containment chamber requires Level-3 
clearance. All personnel are required to wear infrared goggles while 
in SCP-3864’s containment chamber. 


Description: SCP-3864 is an oil painting of an individual. The 
subject, coloration, and size are all subject to change. The only 
constants in the appearance of SCP-3864 are that the individual in 
the portrait is always a human, and testing shows the paint to 
always be oil based. At no point has more than one subject been 
witnessed inside of SCP-3864. 


SCP-3864 gives off a heat signature of 37° Celsius, similar to that of 
the average human body temperature. This heat signature is not 
centered on a certain portion of the painting (such as the individual 
inside), but rather is given off by the painting in its entirety. 


Spoken: "/f you have dentures, don't use artificial sweetener, cause 
you'll get a fake cavity." 

Result: All three tomatoes clocked at exactly 145 mph. Subject 
injured, two teeth dislodged. 


Item: One mature SCP-504 tomato, split into quarters 

Subject: D-504-5 

Spoken: "/ tried to walk into Target, but | missed." 

Result: All 4 pieces clocked at 212 mph. Subject severely injured, 
right eye destroyed by piece of tomato. 


Item: One mature SCP-504 tomato 

Subject: CD player playing "Harmful If Swallowed" (2003, Dane 
Cook) 

Result: At [REDACTED], tomato clocked 167 mph. CD player 
destroyed. 


Notes: /t works with recordings? Dammit. Didn't even have to deal 
with Class-Ds in the first place. - Dr. Blast 


Item: Three mature SCP-504 tomatoes, one for each test subject. 
Subject: After the introduction to the following news item, Bomb 
blows hole in Lenin statue, the three following jokes were 
made. 


Test Subject 1: Ooh, that's gonna leave a Marx. 
Result: Tomato number one ‘twitched’, but did not displace from its 
original location. 


Test Subject 2: BBC is just Stalin the good news. 
Result: Tomato clocked at 152 mph. Chipped tooth and hairline jaw 
fracture. 


Test Subject 3: That blows. 
Result: Tomato clocked at [REDACTED]. Subject is hospitalized 
with a massive skull fracture. 


Notes: / thought we'd just established that recordings work in place 
of live subjects! | know how much you guys hate the Class-Ds, 
especially D-504-012 (poor guy might not even recover before 
termination rolls around), but I'm making it clear that whoever 


SCP-3864 is safe to view through infrared goggles or filters. 


Figure 2: A photograph of SCP-3864 taken upon recovery, 5 


minutes after Figure 1. Photographer later appeared inside 
SCP-3864. Further photography prohibited. 


When a subject (henceforth referred to as SCP-3864-1) views 
SCP-3864 directly, within 15 minutes SCP-3864-1 will begin to 
gradually lose all pigmentation and most body heat. At this time, the 
likeness of SCP-3864-1 will begin to appear in SCP-3864. 
SCP-3864-1 will not be bothered by these processes. Within 30 
minutes, SCP-3864-1 will become completely void of all 
pigmentation and have an average body temperature of 10° Celsius, 
as well as SCP-3864 showing a full likeness of SCP-3864-1. 
SCP-3864-1 will then die of severe dehydration and hypothermia. 
There is no recorded method of halting or slowing these processes. 


Although the body of SCP-3864-1 will become inanimate and 
resemble a corpse, the consciousness of SCP-3864-1 is thought to 
be transferred into SCP-3864. This is evidenced by the likeness of 
SCP-3864-1 inside of SCP-3864 to be able to change poses and 
“move” — though no record shows the likeness of SCP-3864-1 to be 
moving while being observed — in ways that sometimes appear to be 
attempts at communication or escape from SCP-3864. 


Likenesses of SCP-3864-1 inside of SCP-3864 also appear to be 
capable of verbal communication. It is unclear whether this is 
SCP-3864-1 communicating or simply an imitation by SCP-3864. 
Attempts at communication are currently underway.
