Head Researcher's Note: The following documents are 
fragments recovered from the destroyed laboratory of Dr. 
Anatoly Lavrentyev, director of Project December. The 
vast majority of information from this facility was lost, and 
most documents recovered have sustained heavy fire or 
water damage. This archive was provided by the Soviet 
government upon transfer of custody of SCP-1984 and 
the appointment of EZRA as Site Director. Because of 
the secrecy of Project December and Dr. Lavrentyev's 
triggering of numerous fail-safe measures prior to his 
suicide, these documents are the only other source of 
direct information on SCP-1984 besides EZRA.

Fragment 2.c 


Suspected to be a memorandum from Dr. Lavrentyev to 
an unknown, high-ranking Soviet military official. Date 
unknown, but assumed to be from between 1980-1981. 


...due respect, the game theorists’ beloved 
idea of a second strike mechanism is just as 
ignorant as the comrades they criticize. You 
will find one man out of a thousand who will 
push the button that wins the war. Not many 
will want the blood of millions on their hands, 


but some will do it to ensure an end to the 
conflict. This they use to justify themselves. 


But how many men will push the button after 
the bombs have fallen? How many will sign the 
death warrant of the human race and finish off 
what survivors there may be left? The threat 
may serve to keep us safe, but the act is only 
within the mind of an unreachable madman. 
Perimeter may be automated, but it still must 
be initiated by a human. And not one of us is 
capable of ending the world merely for the 
sake of ending it. 


The solution, then, becomes obvious. | have...

Notes found in a charred binder that are not consistent 
with other materials recovered. Written in English. 
Original source of document unknown. Several 
unintelligible, handwritten notes in what is presumably 
Russian are present in the margins. 


...at which point Dr. Clark distributed files to 
each of the members present. Inside each file 
were the same contents: A photograph of a 
man in his late 50s with receding gray hair, 
spectacles, a mustache and a kind, 
grandfatherly expression; photographs of a 
typical suburban three-bedroom house; 
typewritten notes depicting a short personal 
history of "Mr. Smith", and a short story written 
by Dr. Clark about "Mr. Smith's" untimely end 
in an auto accident. 


"Ladies and gentlemen, you know of course 
that the person in your files is not actually 'Mr. 
Smith’, but a random citizen, unknown to each 


of you. The real 'Mr. Smith’, like our construct, 
is also deceased, which of course helps with 
any troublesome legal action down the road. 
The information before you is a focal point; you 
must spend the next several days familiarizing 
yourself with this material, keep reading and

is real. This is vital to establishing the correct 
baseline for our EEG monitors. When we

Fragment 21.x 


Document consistent with personnel records kept by 
KGB administration. Date unknown, but assumed to be 
prior to 1982. 


Sgt. Chernikov has been noted by 
commanding officers to suffer from periodic 
episodes of what appear to be migraines; 
however, he has never sought medical 
attention. Whether this is related to the events 
in Krasnodar is unclear, but in any event the 
investigation could not determine Sgt. 
Chernikov's exact role in the death of Pvt. 
Bekhterev. 


Exoneration notwithstanding, Sgt. Chernikov 
has repeatedly demonstrated antisocial 
behavioral traits, unprovoked aggression 
against fellow unit members, and actions in the 
field that border on psychopathic. Efforts to 
prevent knowledge and subsequent 
propagandization of Sgt. Chernikov's actions 
in the village of Mangwal far outweigh the 
strategic benefit originally sought by 
deployment of Vympel. 


It is the opinion of this commission that despite 
the critical need for experienced personnel in 
Afghanistan, Sgt. Chernikov be removed from 
active duty and placed in psychiatric care. We 
can ill-afford such an unpredictable operative 
in such sensitive mission areas.

Excerpts from the diary of Dr. Lavrentyev. 
March 21, 1981 


Researchers continuing to act edgy and 


insolent. Many resent being transferred to this 
project. Amusingly enough, it's not the goal 
we're trying to accomplish that bothers them. 
It's the means we're employing to get there. 
Many of them scoff at "magic and ghosts", as 
they term it, and deride the work as 
"unscientific." | know that they call me 
"Rasputin" behind my back. It was a mistake to 
inform them of the whole picture. 


June 19, 1981 


New research team arrived today. Quickly 
divided up personnel into sub-teams, each 
focusing on a piece of the whole. Most of the 
work will be able to be explained under the 
auspices of direct-mind interface software, 
neurological research, and observation of 
mass psychological suggestion. | can finesse 
the rest. Much better outlook. 


July 13, 1981 


The tests have been in line with what Agent 
Parks observed in Toronto. The question now 
is what happens when we recreate them ona 
large scale and with a suitable focus. | shall 
inform the KGB liaison to begin looking for 
personnel that fall within our parameters. 


[ILLEGIBLE] 
October 29, 1981 


Finally installed Phase II personnel. | hate to 
use Yuri's connections, but the project must go 
forward and | couldn't very well tell the 
committee to hurry up with my ghost squad. 


November 5, 1981 


Initial success made us too optimistic. When 
we ran the entity through a trial launch 
sequence, it refused. Clearly it knew how, 
because it instead disabled the mock launch 
terminal. Never considered what would 
happen if our creation wouldn't cooperate. 
Can't believe how stupid I've been. What the 
hell do | do now? 


[ILLEGIBLE] 
December 13, 1981 


The Politburo has gotten involved. While this 
means my missing staff has been replaced 
and funds are no longer a question, bad things 
happen when scrutiny comes from on high. 
Orders are to spare no effort or expense to 
move forward. Moscow sent a man who 
looked like a Cossack to deal with "Alexei." | 
was told to take a vacation for a week. When | 
returned, both Alexei and the Cossack were 
gone. 


December 24, 1981 


New test subject provided by KGB liaison. 
Before, | specified loyalty as a defining 
characteristic. This time, | asked for 
[ILLEGIBLE] need someone, something who 
can be trusted to activate and carry out 
Perimeter. Golovkin appears to have been 
enough of a thug to do what Alexei couldn't.

This isn't working. [ILLEGIBLE] even in

SCP-1985: Recovered K-Class Scenario Research 
Device 


Item #: SCP-1985 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1985 is contained at Sub- 
Site- , and is to be kept in good condition and health. Ongoing 
research on SCP-1985-A is mandatory. 


If SCP-1985 is judged to become a significant security risk due to 
exposure to another anomalous entity, device error, or any other 
reason, Protocol 1985-Adahn will be enacted. Protocol 1985-Adahn 
is classified Level 4 and will be automatically disseminated to all 
personnel involved with SCP-1985 in case of containment breach. 


Mobile Task Force Omicron-1985 is responsible for retrieving 
SCP-1985 upon its return from an excursion. Deployment of mass 
amnestics is pre-approved if SCP-1985's return is witnessed by 
multiple members of the civilian populace. 


SCP-1985 has been implanted with a tracking device and is 
currently allowed Class 1 (full/non-restricted) free-roaming and 
socialization privileges with approved site personnel, granted based 
on continued good behavior. Per Class 1 protocols, SCP-1985 is not 
allowed to enter non-approved areas of Sub-Site- (or any 
applicable facility), and not allowed outside its containment area 
without being accompanied by approved personnel (except upon 
temporary involuntary relocation). Approved personnel may interact 
with SCP-1985 under protocol guidelines, and may refer to 
SCP-1985 by its first name. Approval of personnel for Class 1 
interaction with SCP-1985 is currently handled by Dr. Glass. 


SCP-1985's containment chamber currently includes a computer 
with an Internet connection. All data sent to an outside network by 
SCP-1985 is managed by monitoring personnel. No real-time 


access is allowed. See Containment Protocol R-Zenith-13. 


During excursions, SCP-1985 is to have assigned equipment on its 
person at all times. All retrieved items are to be secured as soon as 
possible once an excursion ends. 


Description: SCP-1985 is a female human of African-American 
origin, named Jacqueline . SCP-1985-A is a trans-universal 
teleportation device implanted in SCP-1985's body, including 
millions of ultra-thin components in its brain and spinal cord, and 
several large components located in its thorax and abdomen. 
Anomalous qualities of both SCP-1985 and SCP-1985-A appear to 
have been based on qualities of multiple other SCP items. 


When SCP-1985 dies, SCP-1985-A is activated. 


Upon activation, SCP-1985-A transports SCP-1985 to what appears 
to be a parallel reality. This parallel reality will usually (approx. 95% 
rate) be undergoing a K-Class scenario somewhat consistent with 
the Jackson K-Class Classification System. The 5% deviation is 
thought to result from utilization of a slightly different K-Class 
classification system than in use by any currently extant Foundation 
branches.! 


The destination reality that SCP-1985 is transported to cannot be 
perfectly controlled, but certain realities and types of scenarios can 
be targeted by "priming" SCP-1985. SCP-1985 is primed by 
exposure to materials related to the goal topic in the period shortly 
before initiation of an excursion. 


+ Further Documentation on Priming 


Priming Process: 

Priming of SCP-1985 has a base success rate 
of approximately 70%. Priming success rate 
can be increased by emotionally agitating 
SCP-1985. Exposure to material (such as 
documents or audiovisual records) related to 
the priming target can result in a priming 
success rate as high as 93%. 


SCP-1985 may be primed to travel to a reality 
to which it has previously traveled. SCP-1985 
will arrive in that reality significantly before or 
significantly after any time which it had 
previously spent there. Attempts to induce 
SCP-1985 to enter a reality during a time 
frame in which it is already present have been 
unsuccessful. 


Any items or persons that SCP-1985 is in contact with (and 
specifically desires to transport) are transported with it. SCP-1985 
cannot transport any material except what it is wearing if 
unconscious for more than 5 minutes prior to death. SCP-1985 can 
similarly transport objects when returning. 


Two-way communication is possible with SCP-1985 during an 
excursion; signals may be sent and received as if all equipment was 
located in the same reality. Signals are apparently shielded from 
carrying anomalous effects. 


SCP-1985 arrives in the alternate reality in a random location close 
to the surface of Earth's crust. This location may be of any nature, 
whether underwater, underground, or mid-atmosphere. For this 
reason (and others), transportation of personnel with SCP-1985 is 
inadvisable. 


SCP-1985 is returned to life in a significantly altered physical state. 
In SCP-1985's altered state, it is highly resistant to all forms of 
physical injury, as well as many anomalous effects. It gains 
significantly enhanced physical ability and sensory perception. It is 
able to survive without food, water, and oxygen for a prolonged 
period of time (variant based on unknown factors). Components of 
SCP-1985-A extrude from its body, notably fine metallic threads 
covering the surface of its skin. 


SCP-1985-A will return SCP-1985 from its excursion once one of the 
following conditions are fulfilled: 


* SCP-1985 dies. 
* SCP-1985 does not die, but is subject to completely crippling 
damage, or a loss of more than 10% of its body mass. 


* 6 (six) months have passed. SCP-1985 claims that this six- 
month time period is a "default setting" that can be altered 
with proper devices, and that it can stay in the destination 
reality for several years before running out of power. 


SCP-1985 is returned alive and free of physical injury, in its baseline 
physical state. Usually, SCP-1985 will return to a random location 
not inimical to survival (in contrast to excursion initiation). 


SCP-1985 will always undergo an automatic "scheduled" excursion 
event if 30 days pass with no triggered excursions occurring. 
Mechanism for cause of death in this case is unclear; all its bodily 
functions cease to operate simultaneously. SCP-1985 claims the 1- 
month time period may also be altered with control devices. 


Foundation researchers have been able to interface with SCP-1985- 
A. Information recovery is ongoing. Efforts to reconstruct SCP-1985- 
A control devices are currently underway. 


SCP-1985 was discovered on / /19 in [REDACTED] Los Angeles, 
California, two days after it was witnessed by locals "appearing out 
of thin air". SCP-1985 evaded the witnesses and checked itself into 
a local hospital. SCP-1985 expressed confusion at the delay in 
recovery once Foundation personnel arrived. According to 
SCP-1985, the Foundation implanted it with SCP-1985-A and had 
been sending it on regular excursions, until contact was 
unexpectedly dropped during its last trip. 


SCP-1985 appears to have been designed by the Foundation in an 
alternate reality or [REDACTED] under a program referred to as 
Project Rhodes. All anomalous traits of SCP-1985 appear to have 
been derived from anomalous objects contained by the Foundation. 
SCP-1985 was one of thirty-seven other "successful" products of 
Project Rhodes (which also produced five hundred and ninety-three 
"unsuccessful" products), and is referred to as "K-Class Scenario 
Research Device R-21". 


See SCP-1985 Recovered Information. [DATA EXPUNGED] No 
other "successful" products of Project Rhodes have yet been 
discovered. 


SCP-1985 displays the following notable physical traits: 


* History of clinical depression, anorexia nervosa, cancer, and 
alcoholism. 

« Extensive scar tissue present throughout its body, both 

internally and externally (particularly around the spine and 

back of head).
