The majority of SCP-3477 instances can have their backgrounds 
corraborated by other individuals.2 Despite contradicting each other 
on numerous instances, the stories given by each instance of 
SCP-3477 appear to be true and accurate. 


SCP-3477 instances have incredibly similar psychological profiles. 
During double-blind clinical analysis of SCP-3477's mental states, 
psychologists have reported almost no difference between individual 
members of SCP-3477 unrelated to their anomalous qualities. 
SCP-3477 however does not represent a hivemind, as instances do 
not share new information between each other.3 


It is currently unknown if SCP-3477-0 is a current instance of 
SCP-3477 contained by the Foundation. There is no way to 
determine if an instance is SCP-3477-0, if any instance of SCP-3477 
is genuinely SCP-3477-0, or if there is only one instance that is 
SCP-3477-0.

The following interview has been conducted nearly 
identically for each instance of SCP-3477, as each 
responds almost identically for each question. While 
there are minor differences between each instance, the 
vast majority of each interview is the same. Each 
instance responds to each question with almost identical 
wording, with most differences being the addition of more 
modern colloquialisms. 


BEGIN LOG 


Dr. Thatcher: Hello. Please clearly state your 
name for the purposes of the interview. 


SCP-3477-34: | am Harold Holt, former 
Australian Prime Minister. 


Dr. Thatcher: Thank you. Please describe 
your anomalies. 


SCP-3477-34: Oh, you mean my immortality? 
Why, of course. | set myself on fire, channeling 
my life force into the fire. The fire is an eternal 
flame, and its fuel is the very essence of fire. 
As long as this fire burns, | will continue to live. 


Dr. Thatcher: And what drove you to seek this 
form of immortality? 


SCP-3477-34: Well, | had always wanted to 
live forever, you see. Ever since | was a child. 
But | knew that could never be the case. Then, 
| get elected Prime Minister and then your 
Foundation, the Manna Charitable Foundation, 
the Global Occult Coalition, the Horizon 
Initiative, they're all calling me, trying to get my 
ear.’ All of a sudden, | realize that my dreams 
are within reach. 


Dr. Thatcher: Could you elaborate more on 
your fear of death? 


SCP-3477-34: Of course. I've been afraid of 
dying since | was just a boy. Complete terror at 
the thought of ever not being alive. And | 
resolved when | was a boy that | would stop 
that, that | wouldn't let myself ever die. But to 
the normal man, that can't happen. Nobody 
lives forever, and there's nothing you can do to 
stop death. But then | found out that magic 
was real. | had built a life in politics, but that 
wasn't important anymore. Immortality was my 


only goal. 


Dr. Thatcher: But why did you choose setting 
yourself on fire? 


SCP-3477-34: Well, | had some top men look 
for ways to get me immortality. They came 
back with a couple of methods, but | chose 
self-immolation because | thought that it was 
one of the safest: there will always be fire, and 
as long as there is fire, | will continue to burn. 


Dr. Thatcher: Do you remember what some of 
these other methods were? 


SCP-3477-34: No, not really. | think there were 
vampires, some religious cults, a few other 
things. 


Dr. Thatcher: And these didn't interest you? 


SCP-3477-34: | suppose in another life, | could 
have gone for one. But | chose fire. You know, 
| was wondering when the Foundation would 
get ahold of me. 


Dr. Thatcher: What do you mean? 


SCP-3477-34: Well, | didn't do the best job 
keeping myself secret. | got pretty careless a 
couple times. Also, I've been on fire for the 
past fifty years. 


Dr. Thatcher: Mr. Holt, the Foundation 
happens to have several other individuals 
claiming to be Harold Holt in containment. 


SCP-3477-34: Is that so? How many? 


Dr. Thatcher: You are the thirty-fourth Harold 
Holt we have contained. 


SCP-3477-34: So you don't believe I'm the 
real Harold Holt, do you? 


Dr. Thatcher: Unfortunately, we cannot verify 
any Harold Holt as real. 


SCP-3477-34: That doesn't put me in a good 
situation, does it? 


Dr. Thatcher: You will receive standard 
humanoid containment measures. Thank you 
for your time, Mr. Holt. You've answered all 
our standard questions for Harold Holts with 
standard answers.

On 09/08/2017, all thirty-four instances of SCP-3477 
were introduced to one another, in an attempt to 
determine the veracity of their identities. Each SCP-3477

All instances: Well, it was nice to meet all of 
you!

location. 


All instances: Perhaps they are trying to see 
if us interacting will prove or disprove our

From: MTF Zeta-2 Commander Achilles 
Rosales 

To: Overseer Council, SCP-3477 Research 
Team 

Subject: SCP-3477 Containment Breach 
Date: 09/10/2017 


I've been reviewing the details of SCP-3477's 
recent escape. Other than cryptically saying 
they had to meet again sometime soon, they 
didn't discuss any escape attempts, but I've 
been reviewing the security footage and 
witness testimony from the security breach. 
The Harold Holts demonstrated calculated 
teamwork, and obviously had a shared plan. 
Either they were somehow able to remain in 


contact with one another after the group 
interview, or they all managed to 
independently establish the same exact 
escape plan. Now, unlikely as it sounds, | think 
it may be the second: the Group Testing 
demonstrated that they all clearly think exactly 
the same. 


However, | have noticed a more troubling 
concern. The Extraordinary Special 
Containment Procedures (which cover 
recontainment procedures in the event of a 
containment breach) for SCP-3477 have not 
been updated over twenty years. Since that 
last update, we've contained eleven more 
instances, each with their own unique 
properties. It appears that due to the 
cooperative nature of Harold Holt, it was 
deemed unlikely that he would try to escape. 
As a result, it appears that our guard was let 
down somewhere along the line. 


This means that we now have a dozen 
anomalous entities on the loose that we 
completely lack recontainment protocol for. | 
don't care about punishment or reprimands: 
my men need accurate information on how to 
best recontain every instance of SCP-3477 
immediately before | will send them into the 
field to capture them. | don't care that this is 
giving the Harolds a head start: | will not 
endanger my men to find them.

1. SCP-3477 instances are universally successful at acquiring 
immortality through their chosen method. 

2. For example, each instance of SCP-3477 claims to have 
contacted individuals related to their chosen method of gaining 
immortality on November 20th, 1967 at their personal house. The
