Over time, this compulsion will become more dramatic, usually 
ending in the individuals (and, if applicable, their families) moving 
away from completely, regardless of the state of their affairs. 
Once they have sufficiently "gotten away" from the town and 
SCP-2812-1,3 they will no longer show signs of compulsion. When 
asked about their actions, most will claim that they "just couldn't take 
it any longer" and are happy with their decision. Of the 13,400 
residents in when SCP-2812-1 was discovered, it is estimated 
that only 190 remain as of 20 


The compulsion to get away from SCP-2812-1 seemingly increases 


as individuals approach the epicenter of the effect. Because of this, 
it has become difficult to directly observe SCP-2812-1. Additionally, 
because of SCP-2812-1's secondary effects, remote observation 
has become equally as difficult, with most drones becoming 
ineffective before even reaching the door to the main building. 


SCP-2812-1 also displays an influence on man-made structures 
within its range. Parts of the town will begin to show signs of being 
dilapidation at a far greater rate than if normally left alone by its 
inhabitants. Several main stretches of road have become nearly 
impossible to navigate due to the abundance of potholes, and shops 
and homes in almost entirely are subject to broken windows, 
cracked sidewalks, and general decay. These effects become more 
dramatic the closer the structure is to SCP-2812-1. 


SCP-2812-2 are humanoid entities dressed in matching "United 
Limestone" grey jumpsuits that have appeared within SCP-2812-1's 
range. Originating from within the building housing SCP-2812-1, 
they resemble normal humans, with a few major exceptions. They 
are able to disappear entirely and reappear anywhere inside of 
SCP-2812-1's area of effect, seemingly at will, and use this as a 
means of escape (if pursued) and to close in on targets. By doing 
this, SCP-2812-2 instances are able to travel over great distances 
with incredible speed. Additionally, SCP-2812-2 instances, upon 
closing on their targets, will open their mouths and distend their 
jaws, revealing a speaker cone of unknown make. The music being 
played from SCP-2812-1 will then be broadcast from the cone inside 
of the SCP-2812-2 instance. The effects of SCP-2812-1 seem to be 
enhanced by SCP-2812-2, and at close range have resulted in 
severe cerebral hemorrhaging in % of those affected. 


SCP-281 2-2 instances have shown to be hostile towards humans, 
stalking individuals who have remained in , or Foundation 
agents. Because of SCP-2812-2's ability to appear anywhere and 
close distances quickly, it has become difficult to prevent this from 
occurring. However, SCP-2812-2 instances are not immaterial; they 
can be driven off with light arms fire, and those struck will disappear 
and reappear at a later time. Fortunately, due to the duration in 
which SCP-2812-1 has been left "on" (currently estimated at 

years), very few residents of the town remain as prey. In absence of 


human targets, SCP-2812-2 instances will assume an ambulatory 
gait, moving slowly around with no obvious motivation. 
SCP-2812-2 instances do not appear affected by the compelling 
nature of SCP-2812-1. 


+ Interview 2812 Perry-A 


Foreword: The following is an interview by Dr.S_ — with 
Kathleen Perry, a patient at Regional Hospital. 
According to gathered information, Ms. Perry had 
recently begun working for a local realtor before being 
admitted to Regional. The subject's medical history 
cited her as having been diagnosed with lung cancer. 
Due to the proximity of SCP-2812-1 to Regional, the 
interview was performed remotely. 


<Begin Log, 15:35> 
Dr.S__: Ms. Perry, can you see the screen? 
Kathleen Perry: Yes, doctor. Hold on a moment. 


[Ms. Perry attempts to reach for a pair of glasses on her 
nightstand, however, as she grasps them, the frame 
breaks and the lenses fall to the ground.] 


K.P: Shit. Well, alright. Nevermind that. What would you 
like, doctor? 


D.S: Ms. Perry, how long have you been admitted to 
Regional? 


K.P: Three months, | think. How will this help you get to 
me, doctor? 


D.S: I'll explain shortly, Ms. Perry. Can you tell me about 
your condition? 


K.P: Worse every day. | was fine when they were 

bringing me meds, but | haven't seen a doctor in a week. 
Motherfuckers sure got out of dodge pretty fast. | wanted 
to, too. (coughs) It wasn't just me, either. Everybody was 


talking about how badly they wanted to get away. Don't 
know what | ever saw in this place. 


D.S: Why haven't you left? 


K.P: (coughs) Left? You don't think | would if | could? | 
expected them to treat me here, but all of the doctors 
and nurses got out before | was finished. | can hardly 
breathe, let alone get up and stroll out. (pauses to take a 
breath) I'd have starved weeks ago if it weren't for the big 
retard who works here. Guess he didn't know to leave. At 
least he hasn't acted like he wants to. There are a couple 
of others here with me, somewhere, and he just brings 
them food from the cafeteria. 


D.S: | see. Ms. Perry, our records indicate you used to 
work with the Realtor Group, and managed a 
property in the Limestone Business Center. Can you tell 
us more about that? 


K.P: That dump? Worst place | ever managed. The 
location was great, you know, right off of th St, but | 
don't know if anybody could keep a business running 
there. A shame, too, because the main concourse has 
this really nice old record player sitting in it. Would you 
believe | found that thing stuffed in a broom closet? 
(coughs) Still had the lock on the cover, too, but | cut it 
off. Thought it would be a nice centerpiece for the open 
house | was hosting there. Took all that time to figure out 
how to turn it on, and of course, nobody showed up. 
Waste of my time. | was so frustrated, | just locked the 
doors and walked out. 


<End Log, [15:42]> 


Closing Statement: Shortly after Ms. Perry's last 
response, a source of electromagnetic interference 
disconnected the drone being used to communicate with 
Foundation staff. The source was later determined to be 
the hospital's backup generators malfunctioning. It is 
believed that the facility lost power roughly twenty-three 


(23) minutes after the disconnect. Rescue efforts into the 
hospital have been unsuccessful.

Note: The following correspondence was located as part 
of an information gathering campaign in the nearby town 
of . The date on the letter is November 30th, 
1934. 


Dear Mr. Hedgewater,4 


! am happy to report to you that the machine you 
requested has been delivered on-time and in impeccable 
condition. | am of the opinion that you will be more than 
pleased at the state of the device, and the crystal clear 
sound that it produces. As always with Matherson's 
Music, our aim is to please. 


| will voice one concern, however. We understand this 
particular device is to be a gift. While we appreciate the 
sentiment, it should be noted that, since we constructed 
this device exactly to your specifications, it may become 
difficult to shut off if left on too long, and this could result 
in... unexpected consequences. | assume, though, that 
you have anticipated this, and will call our offices if there 
are any issues with the device. 


Sincerely, 
JJ Matherson 
President, Matherson's Music® 


P.S. As a personal note from one artist to another, the 
decision to include members of your own staff into the 
design was a brilliant one. It was a pleasure working with 
you on this project, and | hope we will be able to 
collaborate again in the future. 


+ Addendum 2812 Hedgewater-1 


Note: The following correspondence was located in the 
Police Department evidence room. The date on the 
letter is August 21st, 1934. 


Martin, 


You know good and well that my men cleared for that 
guarry months ago. | don't know where you get off 
thinking that you can simply roll in and set up shop 
without going through all the necessary avenues, but | 
won't stand for it. | don't know what you're finding in 
there, but it is by right mine and | demand you release it 
back to me. That property has been in my family for 
generations, and as soon as | get a hold of another copy 
of the title to the land that | know you had stolen from me 
| will march down to Stack Rock with the sheriff and load 
you into the squad car myself. By the time I'm finished 
with you, I'll have scorched the earth so thoroughly in 
that your grandchildren will feel the heat. 


Signed, 
Hedgewater 


+ EVENT 2812 EPSILON: LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED 


Event: On the night of / / , Foundation agents ona 
routine patrol of the near-epicenter region of 
SCP-2812-1's range of effect reported that the music 
playing from SCP-2812-1 suddenly ceased to play in the 
middle of a loop. For a period of roughly two (2) minutes 
there was complete silence, after which SCP-2812-1 
began playing an unknown track, a distorted version of 
what further analysis determined to be a jingle for the 
United Limestone Company. This continued for an 
additional fifteen (15 minutes), during which all visible 
instances of SCP-2812-2 ceased movement and 
transmitted the track through their internal speaker cone. 
Afterwards, all instances of SCP-2812-2 phased out of 
local space, and did not reappear until the morning. The 
original track began playing again at 0600 hours the next 
day. 


329-A. 


Seven members of the "Church" were present and offered armed 
resistance. Five were eliminated by the MTF and the other two held 
out long enough to subject themselves to Event 329-A. One was 
subsequently vivisected by the research team and the other 
designated SCP-329-03. The "Church"'s records were retrieved; 
they begin as relatively straightforward medical case notes but 
degenerate over time into a religious screed. 


Addendum: Document 329-1 


(partial transcript of video found at http:/Avww.youtube.com/ 


) 


"Your body is an Eden after the fall, ruled by the tyranny of the grey 
devil in your skull. Your bodies are like your grey lifeless cities, every 
cell marching in lockstep, any deviation punished. Any growth, 
anything alive and green met with "cut it out, burn it out, poison it". 
Endlosung. And the budding cancer is destroyed, or else it fights 
back, it brings down your body like Samson does the temple of 
Dagon... 


"Now It is come to cure us. Each day It plants, It prunes and It trains, 
It makes the grey city a Garden again. And it will take root. It will 
bear fruit and it will spread across the world ..." 


« SCP-328 | SCP-329 | SCP-330 » 


As a result of Event 2812-Epsilon, the effective range of 
SCP-2812-1 has been increased to km, an increase of 
nearly 25%. Further investigation into SCP-2812-1 is 
requested, and a possible reclassification is pending. 


Footnotes 

1. Records gathered from the town's library and government center 
claim that the structure housing SCP-2812-1 was constructed in 
1929 and originally housed a small Americana restaurant, and the 
headquarters for the Indiana Limestone Corporation. No other 
records of this company exist. 

2. The average being six months. 

3. No apparent pattern exists for this distance; the average is one 
hundred and twenty (120) km. 

4. Currently believed to be Peter Hedgewater, President of United 
Limestone (based in , IN) from 1925-1946 

5. No other records of this company exist.

SCP-2813: Ghost Ship 


Item #: SCP-2813 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-2813's 
anomalous nature is predicated on maintaining its current 
identification as 13 Catherine, a natural small solar system body. 
Government sanctioned missions to observe 13 Catherine, manned 
or otherwise must be prevented in order to preserve containment. 
Due to its distance and small size, 13 Catherine's true nature is 
currently not Known to terrestrial observers. 


Should the Russian Space Agency or the GRU-P become aware of 
the true nature of SCP-2813, Orbital Task Force @-3 (The Ides) is to 
be deployed to secure the object in Foundation custody. ¢-3 is to 
maintain communication with SCP-2813-1, as well as provide for 
any maintenance of the object SCP-2813 instances themselves 
cannot provide. To ensure continued cooperation from SCP-2813 
instances, limited amenities may be provided, when feasible, upon 
request. 


Description: SCP-2813 is a formerly Russian interplanetary 
spacecraft roughly 600 meters long and 250 meters wide. SCP-2813 
contains 3 individual non-corporeal operators (referred to as 
instances SCP-2813-1A, 1B, and 1C.). SCP-2813 appears to be a 
modified asteroid, currently utilized by its operators to perform a 
variety of observational tasks. 


SCP-2813-1 possess the physical traits of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky! 
as he appeared in the 1910s. Interviews with both the SCP-2813-1B 
and -1C instance have yielded a personality closely modeled on, or 
directly related to Tsiolkovsky from this same time period. 
SCP-2813-1 have demonstrated limited knowledge of the course of 
world history past 1916, and their own records show a cessation of 
contact with the Earth in late 1917. 


SCP-2813-1 instances are capable of physical interaction with 
objects both in the confines of SCP-2813 and any objects up to 25 
meters away from the outer surface of SCP-2813. Instances are 
capable of selectivity in regards to physical interaction (showing a 
capacity to pass through solid matter, regardless of density), but 
appear to be bound to SCP-2813. While SCP-2813-1C has proven 
willing to leave the confines of SCP-2813, the entity dissipates 
against its will around the 25 meter mark, reforming on board the 
craft. 


The material makeup of SCP-2813 is consistent with other trans- 
neptunian and centaur objects. The majority of its mass consists of 
rocky silicates and metals, while a sizable percentage consists of 
water, ammonia, and carbon dioxide ice. SCP-2813 is significantly 
less massive than it would appear, though this is believed to be due 
to an internal restructuring by SCP-2813-1A. 


SCP-2813 possesses no life support system. Due to several open 
observation ports near the center of the vessel, the entire construct 
remains unpressurized. Due to the semicorporeal nature of its 
operators, this design does little to prevent operation of the ship. 


+ Show Interview Log SCP-2813 001 


Following detection of an unidentified object with an 
unusual radar signature by Foundation Orbital Research 
Compound-15 (FORC-15), orbiting Europa, Orbital Task 
Force ¢-3 was dispatched to investigate. This 
communications log is the first interaction of the 
Foundation with a SCP-2813-1 instance. 


Captain Thompson: Command this is OTF 
Dha-3, Joe's got a seal on the object. 


Europa Command: OTF Dha-3 this is Europa 
Command. Commence breaching operation. 


Captain Thompson: Breaching commenced. 


Several minutes pass before communications 
resume. 


Captain Thompson: Command. We're ready 
to head in. You know... this reminds me of the 
Metis mission. 


Lieutenant Trinni: You expecting more bugs? 


Captain Thompson: | doubt it. It's just there's 
nothing special about this thing so far except 
it's shaped like a sausage. 


Europa Command (replying to previous 
message): You are cleared to enter the 
object. You have full authority. Good luck. 


Captain Thompson: Alright guys, let's poke 
our heads in. Paul, Mark, you're on point. 
Trinni, take rear guard. Joe, you mind the 
store. Take your time and we all stay close to 
each other, we have to... 


At this point Captain Thompson reported an 
entity entering the cabin of the breaching ship. 
This entity was later identified as 
SCP-2813-1B. 


Captain Thompson: Shit! 
SCP-2813-1B: Oh of course. Americans.
