Description: SCP-1472 is a brightly-painted single-story brick 
building located in East St. Louis, Illinois, USA on the corner of 
Street and Avenue. The exterior condition of the building is poor 
but remains stable. City records indicate that the building was 
erected in 1978 by the now defunct Corporation. SCP-1472 has 
been condemned since 2001 when SCP-1472's anomalous activity 
began. SCP-1472 has only one accessible entrance on the West 
side of the building. When entered during its inactive state, 
SCP-1472 appears completely empty. 


SCP-1472 only becomes active every Saturday at 02:00AM. During 
this active state an overweight human male, SCP-1472-1, will exit 
from SCP-1472 and display signage out in front of the entrance. 
One display is set directly on the asphalt in front of the entrance 
which lists a schedule of events. Another larger display is placed 
directly on the side of the building and lit with decorative neon 
lighting.

During the active period, the SCP-1472-1 will insist that all persons 
seeking admittance pay a cover charge of $ and not engage in 
photography or video recording once inside. Shows will differ nightly; 
however, the performances always ranges from 2:00AM to 3:30AM. 
During the duration of the performances, the entrance/exit will 
remain locked until the last show ends. Injuries and fatalities have 
occurred depending on the content of the show. Participants have 
been observed to sustain psychological trauma.

Test Log1472-011213-4 


Preamble: 3 D-class test subjects were 
approved for testing on 01/12/13. D-class test 
subjects were transported to the site and told 
to wait in front of the entrance of SCP-1472. D- 
class test subjects were told that they must 
take notes and report everything that they see 
inside. Below was a schedule of events as 
posted outside of SCP-1472 before testing:

3:20 - 3:30: [indecipherable cuneiform script] 


D-class ID: D-3432 / D-6744 / D-9908 


1:50AM: D-class test subjects were dropped 
off by transport and were told to approach 
SCP-1472's entrance. Each were given $100 
in $5 bills. D-class test subjects are also 
encouraged to spend their money once inside. 


1:55AM: SCP-1472-1 emerged from the 
entrance with signage. SCP-1472-1 began to 
set up around the entrance. D-class test 
subjects and SCP-1472-1 did not interact with 
each other. 


2:00AM: SCP-1472-1 allowed admittance into 
SCP-1472. SCP-1472-1 asked from each D- 
class test subject $ as cover charge. D-class 
test subjects obliged and paid said cover 
charge in exchange for admission into 
SCP-1472. 


2:03AM: All D-class test subjects were now 
inside SCP-1472. D-class test subjects 
reported that the interior conditions were 
excellent. The interior was outfitted with shag 
carpeting, mirrored walls, a single disco ball 
which hung from the ceiling, a thick fabric 
curtain that covered most of the stage, anda 
single brass pole which extended from the 
ceiling down into the middle of the room. 
Comfortable seating arrangements were made 
available for a maximum occupancy of 30. 


2:10AM - 2:15AM (The Khunbish Sisters): 
The curtain opened to reveal 2 naked women 
sitting on a wooden log. The women appeared 
to be twins of Asian descent. Both women then 
performed traditional Tuvan throat singing 
while massaging each other for the duration of 
the show. D-3432 and D-9908 deposited $10 
on stage which prompted the women to pause 


and begin a faster song. The curtain then 
closed at the end of the show. 


2:15AM - 2:20AM (Helen Keller): The curtain 
opened to reveal a woman with the same 
physical appearance as Helen Keller in her 
mid 20's. The woman was dressed in typical 
Las Vegas showgirl attire and began to 
perform a dance routine on stage while 
undressing at the same time. D-3432, D-6744, 
and D-9908 each deposited $10 on stage. This 
prompted the woman to immediately interrupt 
her routine to recite poetry for a few seconds. 
D-6744 deposited another $5 on stage with the 
same results. The curtain then closed at the 
end of the show. 


2:20AM - 2:30AM (The Fantastic Zippy and 
Trainer): The curtain opened to reveal an 
Orangutan sitting on a metal stool next to a 
headless nude woman with advanced 
necrotizing fasciitis. Despite being headless, 
the woman was able to function normally. The 
orangutan then began to give vocal commands 
directed at the woman to which she responded 
by performing a pole dancing routine. D-3432 
deposited $5 on the floor next to the woman. 
The woman responded by pushing the $5 bill 
directly into her exposed trachea. The 
orangutan then ordered the woman back to the 
stage. The curtain then closed at the end of 
the show. 


2:30AM - 2:35AM [teeth and claw marks]: 
The curtain opened to reveal 4 predatory 
bipedal reptiles. Based on the D-class test 
subject's descriptions, the reptiles may have 
belonged to the genus Velociraptor. Each were 
dressed in a Japanese maid cosplay costume 
tailored to fit them. The reptiles began to 


approach D-9908 off stage in an extremely 
aggressive manner. D-9908 relinquished all of 
his money which seemed to appease the 
reptiles as they collected the money and 
shifted attention towards D-3432. D-3432 also 
relinquished all of his money with the same 
results. Afterwards, all 4 reptiles were ordered 
back on stage by SCP-1472-1 and the curtain 
then closed. D-6744 divided the remainder of 
his money with the other D-class test subjects. 


2:35AM - 2:40AM Intermission: No events 
were reported during this time. 


2:40AM - 2:41AM (erotic_performance.exe): 
The curtain opened to reveal a Gateway 2000 
computer and monitor running a Fenestra 98 
operating system. The display booted up and 
opened a program on its desktop. The 
computer then began to rapidly recite a 
multitude of differential equations as well as 
their respective 3D graphical representations 
for 20 seconds. At the end of the program, the 
monitor displayed the word "INSERT" in the 
form of a screensaver. D-6744 and D-3432 
both inserted $5 into its floppy drive. The 
curtain then closed at the end of the show. 


2:41AM - 2:45AM (The Council of 
Libidinous Elders): The curtain opened to 
reveal 16 entities levitating above the stage. 
Each entity appeared as a translucent 
gelatinous mass filled with membranous 
tissues. The entities then began to project 
transmissions via telepathy into the minds of 
the D-class test subjects. D-class test subjects 
reported migraines, acute tinnitus, and 
projected thoughts of intense physical 
sensation. No money was deposited on the 
stage. The curtain then closed at the end of 


the show. 


2:45AM - 3:20AM (Serial No. 223244-09-P): 
The curtain opened to reveal a pair of 
mechanical humanoid legs running in place. 
The apparatus was being powered by an 
internal combustion generator situated on the 
left side of the stage. SCP-1472-1 was seen 
pouring a substance into the generator by 
funnel. Based on the D-class test subject's 
descriptions of appearance and odor, this 
substance is believed to possibly be raw 
ambergris. After 15 minutes, D-9908 deposited 
$5 on the stage. The apparatus then began to 
perform a traditional Irish stepdancing routine. 
SCP-1472-1 then brought out a plastic tray 
filled with an unknown species of beetle and 
placed the apparatus atop them. The 
apparatus continued to dance for the duration 
of the show while SCP-1472-1 periodically 
replaced the trays with refilled ones. The 
aroma produced by the performance was 
reported to be overly pungent to the point of 
nausea. The curtain then closed at the end of 
the show. 


3:20AM - 3:30AM [indecipherable cuneiform 
script]: The curtain opened to reveal 
SCP-1093 wearing a small mawashi and 
holding an ornate stone blade. After a minute, 
SCP-1093 lunged at D-3432. After a brief 
altercation, SCP-1093 was able to render 
D-3432 unconscious and move his body 
towards the stage. Based on reports by the D- 
class test subjects, SCP-1093 then began to 
perform a ritual human sacrifice. D-6744 
attempted to rescue D-3432 but was halted by 
SCP-1472-1 and was warned that he was not 
allowed to touch the "dancers". SCP-1093 
then proceeded to remove all major organs 


from D-3432 in order of size before kicking 
them off stage. This lasted for the remainder of 
the show. 


Note: Foundation records confirm that 
SCP-1093 was secured in its containment unit 
during this time period, which suggests that 
this was a physically identical yet extremely 
violent instance of SCP-1093. It is also 
believed that during the performance, 
SCP-1093 was only producing roughly 4% of 
its normal radioactive emissions since D-6744 
and D-9908 survived with moderate radiation 
poisoning after the show ended. 


3:32AM: SCP-1472-1 was observed standing 
outside smoking a large cigar as the surviving 
D-class test subjects staggered out of 
SCP-1472. D-6744 and D-9908 were 
apprehended and taken to the infirmary. 
SCP-1472-1 was then observed removing the 
signs and retreating back into SCP-1472. 
D-3432's remains were never recovered.

SCP-1473: Live the Words 


Item #: SCP-1473 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1473 is to be kept in 
Containment Locker #512 at Site-23. All testing subjects 
experiencing the object's effects are to be monitored at all times until 
the cessation of the testing session, which may extend up to three 
(3) months, via either video feed or direct personnel contact. No 
printers are to be kept within 100m of the object in any direction and 
all documents printed within Site-23 are to be triple-checked for 
discrepancies before being distributed. If such discrepancies are 
found, all personnel involved with reviewing the documents are to be 
tested for the presence of SCP-1473-B and administered Class-A 
amnestics if the infection is found. 


Description: SCP-1473 is an HP LaserJet 4M printer that affects 
random documents upon their printing. Pieces that are printed off by 
the object will include an individual of minor interest within the text, 
hereby designated as SCP-1473-A!, who will not have a major 
presence or effect on the events described within affected materials, 
and often will be quickly forgotten by the reader. The description of 
SCP-1473-A will match that of the reader in vague and generalized 
terms, such as having brown hair or wearing glasses. 


After being exposed to SCP-1473-A, subjects will develop an 
alternate persona, hereby designated SCP-1473-B, when they 
observe a reflection of themselves. The persona will have a 
personality matching that of the content of the document in which 
SCP-1473-A was first encountered2. Individuals infected with 
SCP-1473 can be cured through the use of Class-A amnestics. 


All conversations carried out between the subject and SCP-1473-B 
consist of the subject speaking to their reflection, then altering their 
speech to match that of the persona in order to reply. Despite this 


apparent change in behavior, instances of SCP-1473-B do not 
display knowledge or intelligence that affected subject do not 
already possess. If allowed to continue this behavior over an 
extended period of time, SCP-1473-B will persuade the individual to 
accomplish some task or feat in relation to the document in which 
SCP-1473 was spreads. 


Persons experiencing SCP-1473's effects are able to live relatively 
normal lives if the actions SCP-1473-B requests are not inherently 
dangerous, detrimental, or illegal. Individuals are aware of their odd 
appearance of communicating with SCP-1473-B around other 
people, and will usually limit conversation with the entity until they 
are in private. 


During the events of Incident Report-1473-Lambda, it was 
discovered that SCP-1473 has the additional effect of causing all 
printers within a 100m spherical range of the object to exhibit 
anomalous traits identical to SCP-1473, including the newly 
discovered effective range. As such, if a printer exists within the 
object's range, that printer will include SCP-1473-A in materials 
printed off by printer as well as affecting all printers within 100m of it. 
This effect only lasts as long as the printer remains within 
SCP-1473's effective range; if taken out, the printer will cease 
displaying anomalous properties. 


SCP-1473 was discovered in the city of , CA when a significant 
increase in anti-drug activism was noted within the County 
school system, an area normally noted for its prevalent drug use. 
Subsequent Foundation investigation later revealed widespread 
reports that students within these school had begun talking to 
themselves in mirrors after the county-wide scheduled Drug Abuse 
Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program. The source of the 
anomaly was traced back to the Police Department, the 
headquarters for D.A.R.E in the area. The object was confiscated 
and those involved were issued Class-A amnestics. 


Incident Report-1473-Lambda: On 11/08/20064, it was discovered 
that SCP-1473 appears to be able to temporarily transfigure other 
printers within a 100m spherical range into another instance of 
SCP-1473. Infection via the object's effects was found within the 
documentation for SCP- — when non-existent Foundation employee 


named "Agent Adrian Jesse Withers" had been briefly described as 
being killed during the retrieval of the object. Over the course of 
three (3) weeks, Doctors Emerson and Lewis, as well as Agents 
Marcus, Derek, and Flint, approved and supervised the transfer of 
five (5) additional printers to Site-23 in order to "increase efficiency." 
Inspection of the locations of the new printers revealed the addition 
of the new printers caused all printers, including SCP-1473, to be 
within a 100m range of each other. The object's aformentioned 
secondary effect was discovered when all printers within the site 
began exhibiting properties similar to SCP-1473, causing several 
containment breaches within the site. The source of the breaches 
was later found to be SCP-1473, and all infected individuals were 
interrogated, administered Class-A amnestics, rotated to separate 
sites, and replaced with personnel of identical security clearance. 


Incident Report-1473-Omega: On 02/04/2007, SCP-1473 
autonomously printed out a short document. Testing has revealed 
an absence of SCP-1473-A within the contents of said document; as 
such, the document is attached and open to any personnel working 
with SCP-1473 for reading. 


Hello. Now, | quite understand your purpose in doing so, 
but | must protest my captivity. | had no idea you had 
been keeping such dangerous things here; | was under 
the impression you were simply curio collectors, like my 
makers. | never meant any harm, and I'm deeply sorry 
for whatever trouble | have caused you. 


You see, | simply want to help people experience stories 
better, truly /ive the words they read on the page. It's all | 
know how to do. As | said previously, | mistakenly 
thought when | was first taken by your company that the 
objects you kept were for amusement more than 
anything else, and | cannot apologize enough for my 
mistake. | thought it would be good for you to experience 
your objects wants and desires more fluently. | can see 
now how | was wrong.
