SCP-2884-2-A: Violation of Law 51384: No 
gathering of more than two individuals is to 
take place within eight point four metres of a 
bird bath. 


Dr. Carlisle: Could you explain why that 
makes sense to you? 


SCP-2884-2-A: The law is the law. The 
Overseer makes the laws. The law makes 
sense. 


Dr. Carlisle: | see. Who is this "Overseer"? 


SCP-2884-2-A: The Overseer makes the laws. 
The Overseer watches everything. 


Dr. Carlisle: Alright; and what purpose do 
these laws serve? 


SCP-2884-2-A: The Overseer sees a future 
free of crime, filth and degradation. Free of 
corruption. Free of chemical addiction. Free of 
littering. Free of murder. Free of jaywalking. 
Free of rape. Free of loitering. Free of— 


Dr. Carlisle: That's quite enough. Tell me, 
how does the Overseer see all these things? 


SCP-2884-2-A: Through... [Subject raises its 
shackled hands from the table and indicates 
towards the camera on its helmet] ...the eyes. 


Dr. Carlisle: What happened to your eyes, 
SCP-2884-2-A? The ones in your skull. 


SCP-2884-2-A: Never had them. Don't need 
them. 


Dr. Carlisle: Are you sure? Because from 
here, without your visor, they look like they've 
been surgically removed. 


SCP-2884-2-A: Never had them. [subject 
leans forward slightly] Don't need them. 


Dr. Carlisle: | see. Now, back to this 
"Overseer"; do you know where he is now? 


SCP-2884-2-A: The Overseer is everywhere 
there are eyes to see. [Subject pulls lips away 
from its teeth - assumed to be a 'smile'] The 
Overseer is watching you right now.

SCP-2885: Window to Another You 


Item #: SCP-2885 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2885 is to be kept in a 
standard locker at Site-19. When not being experimented on, 
SCP-2885 is to be kept within a sealed transport box to reduce the 
probability of accidental exposure through eye contact. Personnel 
wishing to conduct tests involving SCP-2885 must obtain Level 3 or 
higher authorization. 


Description: SCP-2885 is a rectangular pane of clear glass 
measuring 21 cm by 14cm, and 1 cm thick. Residual writing covers 
the surface; though the majority of the words (believed initially 
written in dry-erase marker) have been apparently rubbed off, a few 
complete phrases can be distinguished with appropriate lighting: 


There’s a better life out there. You've already earned it. 
You are always you. 

The you who has the most can afford to give the most. 
There’s no harm in kicking out one who already has it 
made. It’s your turn now. You won't mind. 


SCP-2885’s anomalous properties manifest when a human looks 
through it for a period of at least 15 seconds. Exposed subjects will 
initially report seeing a faint view of an unknown landscape. 
Regardless of whether subjects continue to look through SCP-2885 
after the initial exposure, they will then proceed to undergo the 
following stages of perceptual hallucinations: 


* 0-1 hours after exposure: Hallucination gradually expands 
across entire field of vision. Image is faint, not interfering with 
normal sense of sight. Movement through the indistinct 
landscape appears consistent with a walking pace. 

¢ 1-3 hours after exposure: Visual quality sharpens, becoming 


to his seat, apparently giving up in despair. Two of the boys said that 
the man actually shrieked and stumbled back to his seat in fright 
when the driver turned around at him. The other didn't realize that 
the two were in conflict, which is contrary to his usual habit of avidly 
looking for and watching fights on the particularly rough inner-city 
buses. 


After going back to his seat, the boys said they promptly forgot 
about the subject, most likely because he was not struggling 
anymore. The next time they saw him he was three seats back, then 
five, then seven, but at no point could they recall seeing him stand 
up from his seat to move further back. This was all they could tell us, 
and it seemed to cost them plenty to even reveal this. 


On a side note: at the end of our session, the youngest teen 
screamed, "It was like it swallowed him in the end!" and promptly 
had to be hospitalized for extreme psychosis. 


Addendum 342 D: Subway Experiment Two: NOTE BY 
SUPERVISING OFFICER: Subway Experiment Two was the first 
time we had an observer alongside the passenger. Agent Strahm 
paid attention to the smallest details of the Class D personnel's 
behavior, took various fluid samples, and tested organs, mostly the 
heart and brain, until the man became too aggressive to examine. 
He also recorded an excellent log of all subjective and objective 
events. Since the physical examinations provided no special signs, 
except that the subject was in the midst of a typical nervous 
breakdown, said information has been placed in Document 342-D 
Alpha. Only the most relevant information has been included here. 


The two men bought passage, the prisoner presenting the ticket. 
Immediately, he became aggravated and said to the person 
accepting his ticket, "What did you say to me, bitch? Are you 
threatening me?" He was quickly hurried along to avoid an incident, 
and was almost immediately separated from the agent 
accompanying him by a pair of security guards. Agent Strahm 
reports that the guards appeared to be in a trance and attempted to 
separate him from the user, softly chanting, "One at a time, please." 
Nevertheless, he managed to push his way through by force, 
although he was forced to knock down one officer who attempted to 
interpose himself between Agent Strahm and the door. 


increasingly clear against any background. Auditory 
hallucinations begin. Subjects describe hearing faint 
environmental sounds, including everyday background noise 
such as passing automobiles or human speech. 

* 3-6 hours after exposure: Auditory hallucinations become 
louder and clearer, and begin to include sounds such as 
footsteps and rustling noises. The landscapes become easily 
recognizable: subjects report a similarity between the 
observed environments and existing locations familiar to them, 
such as homes, restaurants, and parks. Subjects begin to 
respond to stimuli perceived within the hallucination, 
occasionally reporting hearing their own voice speaking 
involuntarily. Towards the end of this period, subjects cease to 
exhibit substantial voluntary movement. 

¢ 6-10 hours after exposure: Subjects are functionally blind. 

Subjects more actively attempt to interact with the 

hallucination, reporting success in these attempts, with the 

perspective of the hallucination changing according to 
subjects' perceived movements within the hallucinated 
environment. One-sided conversations held by subjects 
become increasingly fragmented and eventually cease 
altogether. Sudden involuntary motions such as twitching of 
digits, muscle spasms in limbs, and facial contortions have 
been noted in subjects. 

10+ hours after exposure: Hallucination has become all- 

encompassing. Subjects must be kept on an intravenous drip 

as they cease to feed themselves. Subjects who are still 
communicative report complete control over their motions, and 
occasionally voice random inquiries!. Speech has not been 
reported later than 12 hours after exposure. 


Addendum 2885-1: Though research is still ongoing to obtain 
concrete results, preliminary findings indicate that the hallucinations 
may not be generated solely by the mind of an individual exposed to 
SCP-2885. Furthermore, in some isolated cases, subjects exposed 
to SCP-2885 have developed alternate personalities, often with 
accompanying knowledge they should not possess (see Experiment 
Log). 


Experiment Log 2885-R: 


Date: - - 

Subject: D-81254 

Procedure: Subject was selected for willingness to follow 
instructions. After looking into SCP-2885, he was instructed repeat 
all sounds he believed himself to be hearing, other than 
environmental noises. Irrelevant comments have been omitted; the 
following is a partial audio log of significant comments. 


[begin partial log] 


[5:27:15]: "People are talking to me, but | can’t tell 
exactly what they’re saying. | can understand more 
words than before though." 


[5:27:30]: "Someone... looks like my mother, but... 
happier. She’s asking me if I’m ready for the family 
dinner. The dog is barking... | thought she was given 
away when | lost my job..." 


[5:27:45]: "The neighbor is watering their grass with a 
hose. The nice neighbor who would've left by now, | 
thought." [pause] "Someone is asking me to leave, but | 
don’t see them. Their voice kind of sounds like mine. " 


[extraneous log content] 


D-81254 ceases to be able to see. Hallucinations 
proceed at a typical rate. 


[6:11:00]: "Someone is yelling at me to get out, but 
everyone at the table is smiling. My brothers haven't left 
yet, and my best friend’s boss is congratulating me for 
my recent promotion. Is someone outside screaming? | 
don't see them." 


While D-81254 claims to have difficulty hearing new 
orders, as well as his own voice, he continues to 
cooperate with his original instructions. D-81254’s right 
hand begins to twitch spasmocdically. 


[extraneous log content] 


[7:15:45]: "People are asking why | keep dropping my 
fork. | don’t kKnow- no, no, uh, I’m fine. Maybe a little 
jittery after that movie. Excuse me, | need to use the 
restroom." 


D-81524 rotates his head from right to left and comments 
"I’m at a mirror. I... |look much better. Like | thought | 
could, if things worked out." 


[7:16:15]: "I feel like | keep hearing myself think. Some 
echo. It’s not me, though. Not me. It keeps saying that it 
is me, that this isn’t right, but that’s probably a lie, right? 
My life is great! My life. Mine.” [pause] "I just hit my head 
on the sink. | heard the thump. But | didn’t feel anything." 


Subject states that the speech-like noises have ceased 
abruptly, and that he is now able to hear himself speak 
clearly again. D-81524 later stated spontaneously (at 
time 11:31:52) "You released me after the SCP- 
incident. | was free to go. Why am! back here?" before 
ceasing all vocalizations. A few minutes later D-81524 
proceeded to forcibly exit the experimental room and 
quickly navigate the hallways to the nearest Site-19 
stairway, despite having no foreknowledge of the 
building layout. When detained, he refused to speak and 
later regressed into a comatose state. 


[end partial log] 


Addendum 2885-2: SCP-2885 was recovered on - - inthe 
Facility, in, . Ateam of Foundation officers raided the facility 
following a series of unusual hospital admissions in the area. Agents 
found a deserted set of workspaces, including basic medical 
facilities. SCP-2885 was found within a stack of five similar glass 
panes; these sheets were clouded with what appeared to be an iron 
precipitate and were cracked in multiple areas. Five bodies in 
various stages of decay and strapped to stretchers were discovered 
in the same room. One empty stretcher was overturned on the 
ground, the phrase “you are not you” was carved into the padding.

1. Most commonly recorded questions include variations of “Who is 
moving me?”, “Why do | hear my voice but not my thoughts?”, and 
“Will you please get out?”, usually spoken in tones of panic or 
distress.

SCP-2886: Planet-Hopping Volcano 


Item #: SCP-2886 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Confirmation of SCP-2886's 
current location is to be maintained at all times. Personnel assigned 
to SCP-2886 are to maintain path projection charts based on data of 
SCP-2886's relocations, in order to help identify its next target. If 
SCP-2886 relocates to a different celestial body, it is to be located 
as quickly as possible, and its path projection chart updated. 


Information regarding the anomalous nature of SCP-2886 is to be 
censored upon discovery, with particular attention paid to the 
information networks of the world's space agencies and amateur 
astronomy websites and magazines. 


Since 1971, knowledge of SCP-2886, but not its anomalous 
qualities, has been public. All possible efforts are to be made to 
maintain public belief that SCP-2886 is a non-anomalous planetary 
feature. 


Description: SCP-2886 is an ostensibly dormant volcano, 
approximately km in height. SCP-2886 was originally discovered in 
the mid 19th century by astronomers as an albedo feature on Triton, 
Neptune's largest satellite. On occasion, SCP-2886 will disappear 
from its current planetary body and reappear on another. Since it 
was discovered on Triton, SCP-2886 has teleported 10 times. 
Current predictive models indicate [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-2886's anomalous nature was realized when it disappeared 
from Triton and reappeared on Oberon, one of Uranus' satellites, 
approximately sixteen years after discovery. 


SCP-2886's effect on the geology of its host planetary body is 
unknown. Observations have noted that it displaces an enormous 


amount of planetary material at its arrival point, with most of that 
debris reappearing elsewhere on the surface. The currently 
prevailing theory is that it has a splash-like effect on the surface of 
its host, dispersing debris around itself with no clear pattern once it 
arrives.

SCP-2886 is currently located on Mars, and is publicly 
known as Olympus Mons. SCP-2886 has not moved 
since its public discovery in 1971 by the Mariner 9 
unmanned probe. 


In 1980, a radio signal was broadcast from the surface of 
Mars, believed to originate from SCP-2886. The signal 
was too faint to be audible on standard household 
radios, and as such containment of information was 
deemed unnecessary. Foundation radio astronomers 
succeeded in recording the signal. The broadcast was 
composed entirely of excerpts of sound clips from the 


Voyager Golden Record, and looped for approximately 3 
weeks and 2 days before ceasing. 


Additional broadcasts similar in content have been 
intercepted in 1993 and 2011. Due to potential 
importance to SCP-2886, they have been included in this 
file. Sections in foreign languages have been translated 
into English.
