Footnotes 

1. Site 76 is located on Palmyra Atoll, on land that had been ceded 
to the Foundation by the United States government and purportedly 
granted extraterritorial status by means of a confidential treaty. A 
containment breach nearly resulted when a subsequent Foundation 
accord with the United States government contained a drafting error, 


which resulted in a loophole under which Site 76 again became 
subject to United States laws applicable to unorganized 
unincorporated territories. Before containment was re-established, 
SCP-2553 had initiated a process of assuming legal control over 
several corporations and municipal governments. SCP-2553 has 
subsequently been relocated to Site 233, which is located on an 
uninhabited island off of Marie Byrd Land in Antarctica and has been 
organized by the Foundation, underterra nulliusdoctrines, as an 
independent and sovereign polity for the purpose of insulating 
SCP-2553 from other legal systems. 

2. For further examples of anomalous legal entities, seeSCP-1442. 
3. It has been theorized that thepro sefiling was based on "sovereign 
citizen" legal theories. 

4. Filings identified as originating from SCP-2553 were made in, 
among other courts, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the 
District of Delaware, the Coroner's Court Division of the Resident 
Magistrate of Kingston, Jamaica, the Federal Shariat Court of the 
Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the Ecclesiastical Court of the 
Russian Orthodox Church for the Diocese of Alaska. 

5. One early filing, which SCP-2553 filed with the Provincial Court of 
Newfoundland, was captioned asTrustee of Clark v. South African 
Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheriesand formatted like a 
legal complaint, but consisted only of the letter "m" repeated several 
hundred thousand times. 

6. Rights and powers thus acquired by SCP-2553 
included:ownership of several hundred thousand acres of 
undeveloped land in Baja California;the power to approve mergers 
between banks in Denmark;the status of executor of the estate of a 
certain deceased Wisconsin man (including the power to write 
checks from the estate's funds);the power to unilaterally revise the 
motor vehicle code of South Dakota;the authority to officiate at 
weddings aboard Canadian naval vessels in international waters;the 
power to discipline and court-martial soldiers in the Turkish army;the 
status of legal guardian of several hundred children in the 
Connecticut state foster system; andthe constitutional authority to 
cause Brazil to declare war. 

7. Actions taken by SCP-2553 included a local knitting club placing a 
purchase order for thirty school buses, the prohibition of zeppelins 
from entering Moldovan air space, and the entry of Do Not 
Resuscitate orders for every hospital patient in Canada.

SCP-2554: Duckweed 


Item #: SCP-2554 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All wild instances of SCP-2554 
are to be destroyed on sight under the guise of controlling an 
invasive species. Any herbicide capable of killing mundane 
duckweed is sufficient for these purposes. A public hotline has been 
set up for ease of gathering possible civilian reports of wild 
SCP-2554 instances. Failure to completely eradicate SCP-2554 in 
the wild could lead to a GH-class scenario. An instance of 
SCP-2554 is kept at Provisional Site Khaf-6 for research purposes. 
To avoid contact dermatitis and infestation, researchers are to wear 
biohazard suits at all times while in the presence of SCP-2554. 
Medical staff at Provisional Site Khaf-6 are to be trained in 
identifying signs of SCP-2554 infestation.’ Surgical intervention is 
successful in remedying SCP-2554 infestations. Asof // , 
Provisional Site Khaf-6's local carp population is to be utilized along 
with herbicides and other mundane control methods for SCP-2554 
eradication. 


Description: SCP-2554 is an anomalous duckweed plant 
phenotypically similar to Wo/ffia microscopica. All examples of 
SCP-2554 are genetically identical to each other. Mundane W. 
microscopica grows in water, utilizing its thalli to obtain nutrients 
from the water. SCP-2554 is capable of growing on mediums which 
are entirely inappropriate for duckweed. Recorded mediums are 
glass, fabric, animals, fungus, and other plants. SCP-2554 that is 
grown in a non-organic medium is less healthy than instances grown 
in an organic medium. It can survive on materials which are 
completely devoid of nutrients for up to three months before dying 
off. SCP-2554 does not grow on materials with herbicidal properties. 
While it is capable of growing on living organisms with the same 
success as in its natural growth medium, organisms with scales are 


less likely to become hosts to SCP-2554 infestations.2 


SCP-2554 was originally discovered at the Petco retail store located 
at . It was subsequently found at 485 additional Petco retail 
locations in the Quebec region. Governmental health services traced 
the source to a Petco distribution center in Laval, Quebec. Reports 
of a ringworm-like infection amongst employees and stock in 
multiple Canadian locations were discovered to be caused by 
SCP-2554. Investigation into the distributor records revealed that the 
order of SCP-2554 had been harvested from a lake in 3. The 

population is considered to be the original population of 
SCP-2554. 


Identification of SCP-2554 as an anomalous phenomenon was 
delayed due to the normal conditions of Petco stores and stock. By 
the time containment efforts began, it had been released into the 
wild in several locales.4 Additional instances were found in stores, 
homes, and the wild across the province of Quebec. Cover-up 
efforts mandated that class-A amnestics were to be administered to 
the entire population of the affected region, and a cover story was 
spread about an invasive strain of duckweed spreading concurrently 
with a particularly virulent form of ringworm from those employed at 
the distributer and stores in that region. Currently, Foundation- 
owned hotline has been set up for citizens to report 
abnormal plant or fungal behavior in the affected region until full 
containment of SCP-2554 is achieved. SCP-2554 is to be 
considered uncontained at this time. 


It is possible that full containment of SCP-2554 is infeasible due to 
the magnitude of invasion vectors and its anomalous properties. It is 
highly probable that only partial containment of SCP-2554 can be 
achieved with current mundane technology and practices. For the 
preservation of normalcy, research is ongoing into possible 
anomalous means of containing SCP-2554. If SCP-2554 is 
permitted to spread without containment, a GH-class scenario is 
projected to occur within years. 


Addendum A: The original SCP-2554 population in was found 
to be contained in a single pond despite its anomalous behavior. 
Research into this revealed that unusual behavior on the part of a 
school of Prussian carp® (Carassius gibelio) was responsible for this 


containment. Provisional Site Khaf-6 was established to further 
research the effects of these and unrelated Prussian carp on 
SCP-2554. Due to the small size and high nutrient value of 
SCP-2554,6 survival rates of viable carp fry are greater than normal. 
Research indicates that the consumption of SCP-2554 as a source 
of food has no adverse effects on the carp or carp fry. The Prussian 
carp population of is not considered to be anomalous at this 
time. 


Addendum B: Research Assistant Lynzil captured footage of the 
local Prussian carp scraping off SCP-2554 infested scales and 
retreating to safe water to begin the healing process. It is unclear if 
this is a learned behavior or a sign of possible anomalous activity. 
Additionally, the local carp have been observed preferentially 
feeding on SCP-2554 at areas of likely SCP-2554 transmission.’ 
Confirmed non-anomalous Prussian carp will engage in this 
behavior after observing the local carp performing it. This has been 
classified as a class-S memetic anomaly8, and carrier populations 
have been established in Foundation sites for further research. 
Otherwise, the Prussian carp population of is not considered to 
be anomalous. 


Addendum C: On / /_ , apopulation of three of Provisional Site 
Khaf-6's local carp and seven unrelated Prussian carp? were 
introduced into a reservoir containing SCP-2554. Observation has 
confirmed that over the course of five months, SCP-2554 quantities 
were reduced sufficiently to permit mundane eradication efforts. A 
request is pending to include Prussian carp in SCP-2554 
containment procedures. 


Addendum D: A routine investigation of the surrounding watershed 
of the lake discovered cylinders of air bladders and hardened 
tree sap in the surrounding areas. Also discovered were Prussian 
carp exhibiting the same memetic anomalies as those found in the 

lake. DNA analysis of the air bladders revealed that they were 
from the American Bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus), a species native 
to the area. The purpose or origin of these cylinders is unknown. 


Footnotes 
1. Widespread rashes and raised patches of skin which begin to 
ooze a mix of lymph and SCP-2554 after two or three days. 


2. SCP-2554 is least likely to infest reptiles, but researchers should 
remember that infestation will still occur. 

3.W. microscopicais not native to any part of Canada. 

4. See document SCP-2554-L11 for details on which locations, and 
projected modes and likelihood of transmission into other locations. 
5. Prussian carp are not native to , or indeed to any part of 
Canada. 

6. Equivalent to that of mundaneW. microscopica. 

7. Such as the feet of waterfowl, which mundane Prussian carp 
prefer to avoid. 

8. A memetic anomaly which does not qualify as a threat to 
normalcy. 

9. Research has confirmed that two or more of the local carp are 
required for transmission of learned behaviors fundamental to the 
containment of SCP-2554.

SCP-2555: Growing Up 


Item #: SCP-2555 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2555 is contained on Site, 
in , Spain. The surrounding area is to be barricaded, with at least 
4 Security Officers assigned to the perimeter at all times. As of 
05/13/19 , personnel are prohibited from entering SCP-2555. 


Description: SCP-2555 is currently a 20-story building, which 
continuously grows upward at a rate of 10 cm per year. SCP-2555 
leans towards the direction of the sun's position in the sky (up to a 
maximum angle of 23.4 degrees); SCP-2555 will continue to follow 
the path of the sun until sunset, where it remains stationary until 
morning. 


SCP-2555 utilizes solar panels as its power source, located on the 
sides and rooftop of the structure. Power lines connect from these 
panels and reach out into all rooms in the building. Plumbing lines 
also connect throughout the building, delivering water containing 
previously unknown organic materials. All major manifolds converge 
approximately 50 meters below ground, forming roots that hold the 
structure in place. Research suggests that SCP-2555 absorbs 
materials underground to continue its rate of growth. 


Attempts to move or tamper with any components inside SCP-2555 
will cause collections of dust to appear. (These are referred to as 
SCP-2555-1). Instances of SCP-2555-1 have been observed to 
collect into masses of up to 3 meters tall. SCP-2555 -1 will then 
proceed to engulf the subject. Other subjects coming into contact 
with SCP-2555-1 will also become engulfed. After consumption, 
SCP-2555-1 spews a fine black powder containing many of the 
elements of the previous subject. This black powder dissolves into 
the structure of the building. 


Addendum-2555 -02: After containment, personnel were sent to 
explore the interior of SCP-2555. Exploration revealed several 
distinct basement areas within SCP-2555 (Referred to as 
SCP-2555-B1 through B5), which are hypothesized to house 
different aspects of the structure's "support systems". 


+ SCP-2555-B1 


SCP-2555-B1 is the uppermost basement located within 
SCP-2555. The walls of SCP-2555-B1 are laced with 
electrical and plumbing lines that continue to drive into 
the deeper basement areas. The central portion of the 
basement is a conglomeration of wires surrounding a flat 
screen. The screen turns on when personnel enter 
SCP-2555-B1. The following is the only excerpt to 
appear on the screen of SCP-2555-B1: 


ACT GAG ACT TAG ACT ACA ACT GAT GAT 
GGG 


Attempts to retrieve more information from SCP-2555-B1 
have proven inconclusive. A request to test biological 
samples of SCP-2555 is currently pending. 


+ SCP-2555-B2 


SCP-2555-Bz2 is similar in structure to SCP-2555-B1. 
The screen contains a log of events that occur inside 
SCP-2555. The following is an excerpt of the logs, 
recorded on 04/27/19 :

DETERMINING... 

NON THREAT 


Historically, Liubo was not only a game, but 
also used as a method of divination, the 
various spots on the game board 
corresponding to the sexagenary cycle used 
by Chinese to recount the passage of time 
since the earliest written texts. Given the 
propensity of subjects to have prophetic 
visions subsequent to their participation in a 
Sigma event, it has been theorized by several 
researchers that the moves during a Sigma 
event may themselves be of some prophetic 
significance. 


While the possible significance of individual 
moves during recorded Sigma events is 
Ongoing and so far inconclusive, it has been 
determined that the act of winning does 
appear to correspond to significant events 
beyond the game itself. In particular, every 
instance of SCP-286-1 winning has been tied 
to intensification of sunspots, solar flares, and 
generally increased solar activity. SCP-286-2 
winning has been associated with significant 
tectonic events, including [REDACTED] 


Because it is not known if these events were 
predicted by one side winning, or caused by 
One side winning, experimentation on 
SCP-286 has been suspended as an 
unacceptable risk.
