12 cm. When the host has been completely consumed, the worms 
will attempt to eat each other, and will proceed until only one worm 
is left, which will have grown to a length between 20 and 30 cm. This 
organism will then enter a dormant state, and will die within 4 days. 
If worms are removed at any point, they will die within 5 hours. No 
attempts to save affected organisms have met with success, and 
consumption of sufficient amounts of SCP-2484-A is always lethal. 


Addendum-2484-1: SCP-2484 was recovered on 9/9/20 , from 
Sandwich Shop, in , Massachusetts, after Foundation 
operatives intercepted several reports of unusual parasite activity. 
SCP-2484 was found in a refrigerator alongside several other non- 
anomalous jars of mayonnaise and other food items. When 
questioned, staff could not explain where SCP-2484 had come from, 
and had no memory of how long it had been in the refrigerator. 
After confiscation of SCP-2484, all Sandwich Shop employees 
and 14 medical and EMS personnel, were given Class-D amnestics. 


Addendum-2484-2: The following is a transcript of the ingredients 
listed on SCP-2484’s label. 


Water, vegetable oil, vinegar, eggs. Eggs. EGGS. EAT. 


EGGS. BE. EGGS. YOURE FLESH IS BUT THE 
NURSERY AND SUSTINENCE OF OUR 
INCALCULABLE RAVENOUS MOUTHS. EAT EGGS. 
CONSUME US. LET US BE REALIZED WITHIN YOU, 
sugar, salt, lemon juice, and love.

SCP-2485: Drunkard's Dream 


Item #: SCP-2485 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2485 is to be contained in 
a standard containment locker at Site-08. Access to SCP-2485 for 
item examination purposes requires Level-2 clearance; Level-3 
authorization is required prior to any experimentation involving 
SCP-2485. 


Description: SCP-2485 is a wine bottle made of dark green glass, 
with a resealable cork. The bottom of SCP-2485 is marked with a 
small logo and the accompanying title "7rue Bacchanal Finer 
Winery'.’ An accompanying tag tied around the neck reads "Drink 
up. You deserve the revel." in gold lettering. 


Despite having an estimated volume of 375 mL, SCP-2485 is able to 
hold extremely large quantities of liquid.2 Once liquid poured into 
SCP-2485 reaches the top of the bottleneck, no overflow occurs, 
even as the pouring is continued. The weight change of SCP-2485 
as it is filled is theorized to be related to the amount of liquid 
contained within it, though the increase in weight occurs at a 
reduced rate.3 This allowed for SCP-2485 to be filled with 200 liters 
of distilled water in experimental trials before the average subject 
was incapable of carrying it by hand. 


If a different substance is introduced to SCP-2485 while it is filled 
with liquid, SCP-2485 will quickly disgorge of all of its contents 
through the mouth of the bottle. This process occurs over a period 
lasting up to 20 seconds, in a manner resembling a high-pressure 
fountain spray4. After SCP-2485 has been fully emptied of the 
previous liquid, SCP-2485 will then refill itself with the same amount 
of the new liquid that was introduced prior to the emptying. 


When a human, henceforth referred to as the subject, attempts to 


manually empty SCP-2485,°, SCP-2485 will induce a compulsive 
effect that renders the subject unwilling to release the bottle until it 
has been completely emptied. At the activation of this effect, the rate 
at which the liquid pours out of SCP-2485 is comparable to that of 
non-anomalous bottles. If the subject drinks from SCP-2485, they 
will do so continuously for approximately 45 seconds or until the 
bottle is emptied. The subject, however, perceives this drink as "a 
couple of sips" and will usually request to drink more. 


Addendum 2485-1: SCP-2485 was recovered in , England, 
following Foundation interception of reports regarding an apartment 
that seemed to have suffered an abnormally large and localized 
amount of flooding damage. When Recovery Crew Theta-3 arrived 
at the specified complex, it was noted that the apartment door was 
locked and a substantial amount of wine had seeped out from 
beneath it. The door was broken down and the flow of the wine 
traced to the master bedroom in the back of the house. When the 
recovery crew entered, SCP-2485 was seen in the hands of a 
bloated S W , actively being emptied. Mr. W expired 
shortly after Foundation personnel arrived, despite resuscitation 
attempts. 


Mr. W 's phone (see Addendum 2485-2) and a note (see 
Addendum 2485-3) were also recovered from the scene. Recovery 
Crew Theta-3 secured SCP-2485, removed the evidence of the wine 
flood, and administered Class A amnestics to neighbors and the 
authorities of who were dispatched to the building. A cover 
story involving a plumbing issue was generated to divert outside 
investigation. 


Addendum 2485-2: The following is a transcription of the last 
message recorded on Mr. W 's phone, believed to be related to 
SCP-2485 and the death of the owner. 


Hey,S  ! Listen, uh, sorry ‘bout... y'know, the whole 
thing, really. | know you wanted to get in, but | couldn't 
really pull any strings for ya. After all, maybe it wasn't 
such a good idea to write about the dark arts of wine- 
making revelry and such in your entrance essay. Just a 
thought though. 


already taken effect, and all current research into SCP-276 is related 
to making sure that any possible manipulation of the time line does 
not occur. 


Of note is the anti-anachronistic nature of SCP-276. Beyond its 
tendency to change its form to the respective era it resides in, all 
non-human objects on SCP-276 will alter as well to become time 
appropriate. A flashlight taken back to the early 1700s will revert to a 
more primitive form of illumination such as a gas lamp. Organic life 
is unaffected with the exception of creatures that either do not exist 
yet, or have ceased to exist. In both cases, the animal will become 
another species from the closest taxonomic rank it shares. Dead 
persons brought to modern times are similarly affected, becoming 
an entirely different person. Genealogical testing reveals that the 
subjects are [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Note: SCP-276 is not, | repeat, NOT to be used as a recreational 
device, especially involving exploitation of SCP-276’s temporal 
qualities. Temporarily restricting access to level 4 personne! until 
further notice. -Dr. 


Addendum: As of - - _, the newly formed Mobile Task Force 
Rho-5 "Stitch In Time" is to be assigned to and given full security 
clearance involving use of SCP-276. After taking into consideration 
SCP-276's ability to "fix" anachronisms and errors in time, all 
missions involving temporal tampering are to be headed by Rho-5.

[pause; approximately 45 seconds] 


Maybe... ugh, maybe it's my fault. | brought a bottle of 
yours to the Institute; shouldn't ‘a done that. Looked like 
one of my bottles, look, my mistakes aside, they loved it. 
Just as good as whatever they had. What was it, pinot 
[pronounced pie-knot in the recording] noir? 


[Another pause; approximately 45 seconds] 


Look, S __, fuck the Institute, aight? Just 'cuz | got in and 
you didn't doesn't mean you suck, 'kay? They're a bunch 
of pretentious old guys dicking around calling themselves 
Masters of Wine, drinking expensive-ass champagnes all 
by themselves and shit... Look, you could always... ugh, 
nevermind. Have fun on your vacation. I'll miss your 
parties. 


Addendum 2485-3: The following note was discovered at the scene 
of Mr. W 's death. Attempts to contact the sender have been 
inconclusive. 


Heya, S 


I'm sending this to your new place. | got the bottle back. 
Filled it with the Institute's finest white wine; a whole 3 
barrels’ worth. Think of it as a sort of consolation prize for 
your troubles. Fuck 'em. You know you've always been a 
master. 


Your pal, D 


Addendum 2485-4: Further investigation intoS W 's records 
have uncovered a separate place of residence owned by the 
individual, notably a vineyard and farmhouse located in Llangwm. 
Foundation searches of the house have recovered the following 
document, dated approximately one week prior to the note 
recovered from the apartment. 


Mr. W — 
It has come to our attention that you have not responded 


to our prior correspondence. In lieu of the previously- 
discussed contract, our agents have provided the 
requisite remuneration in exchange for the dozen novelty 
bottles in your cellar. We encourage your immediate 
reply to discuss further business transactions, as well as 
your membership to the The Institute of Masters of Wine. 


Our patrons thank you for your consideration, and look 
forward to collaborating with you in the future. 


We will be in contact. 
~Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. 


Foundation investigation into the existence of other instances of 
SCP-2485 is ongoing. 


Footnotes 

1. Itis noted that no such company is known to exist, though it is 
possible additional instances of SCP-2485 have been manufactured 
(see Addendum 2485-4). 

2. It is currently advised not to test any liquid that cannot be safely 
contained in a standard non-anomalous glass bottle, as the extent of 
SCP-2485's resistance to extremes is unknown. 

3. Based on experimentation, the weight difference of liquid 
introduced to SCP-2485 is approximately 1/10. 

4. Highest recorded height of spray arc currently at 1.6 meters, 
highest pressure recorded at 1200 kPa. 

5. Experimentation is underway as to how SCP-2485 identifies the 
subject's intent, and what it defines as "emptying".

SCP-2486: Pomegarrote 


Item #: SCP-2486 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2486 is stored in a 
standard lockbox at Site-73. SCP-2486-A are housed at Site-17, or 
at other sites as necessary for testing procedures. 


Generalized inter-anomaly testing with SCP-2486 has _ been 
approved as of 2016-05-05. SCP-2486 itself may not be used on 
Foundation personnel or anomalous items. See Addendum for 
further information. 


Subjects should be sedated prior to strangulation with SCP-2486. 


Description: SCP-2486 is a 1.8m length of monofilament fishing 
line. When SCP-2486 is used to strangle a human being, the subject 
will reanimate four seconds after death, recovering from any internal 
and external injuries incurred during the strangulation. Subjects that 
reanimate this way are designated SCP-2486-A. Repeated 
application of SCP-2486 continues to affect subjects in this manner, 
but imparts no other anomalous properties. 


SCP-2486-A exhibit no unusual behavior apart from an intense 
fondness for the consumption of pomegranates. Testing has shown 
that the consumption of any part of the pomegranate results in a 
massive spike of endorphins in SCP-2486-A; this effect has been 
replicated by injecting small amounts of pomegranate juice into the 
bloodstream. Left unchecked, most SCP-2486-A will develop a 
psychological dependency on pomegranates. 


Subjective assessments and descriptions of SCP-2486-A frequently 
incorporate imagery related to pomegranates. Additionally, 
individuals experiencing severe delusions or hallucinations may 
perceive SCP-2486-A as a very large pomegranate. 


+ Show excerpts from Experiment Log 2486-C3 


For this experiment, five volunteers were shown camera 
footage of D-2486-022 and asked to describe him. 
SCP-2486 was then used to strangle D-2486-022, and 
the volunteers were then asked to reassess him. 


Prior to strangulation: 


* "Seems like the kind of guy who's had a hard life. 

I've seen that glare before." 

"Tall, long brown hair, some tattoos. Mid-50's. 

Probably has to use the bathroom." 

"He looks like an asshole." 

"He'd kill you as soon as look at you. He looks like 

he's anxious about something." 

¢ "The facial tics suggest long-term use of anti- 
psychotics, right? | remember hearing _ that 
somewhere. Looks like he needs to piss." 


After strangulation: 


¢ "If you worked hard, | bet you could find the seeds 
of his hardship, and there would be a lot of them. 
His eyes are kind of red." 

"Tall, long brown hair, some tattoos. Mid-50's. Full 
of juice." 

"He still looks like an asshole." 

"It seems like he has a sour demeanor." 

"Still been on anti-psychotics for a while. If you 
squeezed him, piss would come gushing out." 


Addendum: SCP-2486-A have been found to be affected by several 
anomalous objects in an unusual fashion. With the approval of 
05-07, SCP-2486-A have been incorporated into scheduled testing 
of several contained anomalies, as the observed risk of dangerous 
cross-contamination is low. Below is a list of anomalous items with 
which SCP-2486-A have been found to interact abnormally. 


SCP-1724: SCP-1724 returned a score of 001 when used on 
SCP-2486-A-080, then produced the phrase "That can't be right." 


SCP-2486-A-080 experienced no deleterious effects. SCP-1724 
remained non-functional for four days thereafter. 


SCP-978: Five instances of SCP-2486-A were photographed with 
SCP-978 in their cells. Two were shown consuming pomegranate 
seeds in their cells. A third was shown asleep. A fourth was shown 
using a knife to slit his throat, with pomegranate seeds spilling out 
and falling onto a recreation of Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, 
also composed of pomegranate seeds. A fifth was shown reuniting 
with friends and family while consuming a whole pomegranate. 


SCP-2221:1 After exposure to SCP-2486, the subject's preferred 
religious imagery incorporated pomegranates where it would 
otherwise incorporate nooses. Copies of SCP-2221 found at least 
three days after this exposure were found to contain an additional 
clause: 


Clause 218 

"You agree that under no circumstances will worship, 
prayer, obeisance, sacrifice, oaths, requests for 
guidance and/or intervention, or any other invocations of 
divinity directed at any deity or deities listed in Appendix 
H.vii contain pomegranates or pomegranate products." 


Following the addition of this clause, SCP-2486-A instances did not 
incorporate pomegranates into religious imagery. 


SCP-228: An instance of SCP-2486-A was shown SCP-228, which 
was then photographed. The result is available here. 


SCP-1528: SCP-1528 was applied to SCP-2486-A-213, who has no 
visual abnormalities. Subjects who observed SCP-2486-A-213 
frequently made direct comparisons to pomegranates when 
providing descriptions of anything. All professed great fondness for 
pomegranates, though several who disliked pomegranates were 
visibly uncomfortable while consuming them. 


SCP-1379: In addition to the typical effects of insulting SCP-1379, 
the subject coughed up pomegranate juice for thirteen minutes 
afterwards. 


SCP-832: A subject exposed to both SCP-832 and SCP-2486 
described the value of a pomegranate as "impossible to quantify". 
Stock in companies that have substantial financial interest in 
pomegranate farming or pomegranate products were described 
similarly. The subject attempted, unsuccessfully, to disregard all 
pomegranates in its field of vision. 


SCP-158: When used on SCP-2486-A-081, SCP-158 extracted a 
pomegranate instead of the typical substance. This had the usual 
effect of eliminating higher brain functions in the subject. When 
SCP-158 was used to insert a different pomegranate into 
SCP-2486-A-081, the subject recovered fully. Using SCP-2486 to 
strangle an individual already subject to SCP-158, then using 
SCP-158 to insert a pomegranate, failed to return brain function to 
the subject.
