Addendum A: [12/05/13] SCP-2682 begins shifting in appearance 
3 minutes and 23 seconds after the recording of log 2682:009. An 
elongated mouth similar to a primate's attached to what appears to 
be a rudimentary esophagus extends from its center and begins 
circling around the containment area. Surveillance cameras show 
featureless black eyes appearing on the upper lip of the mouth at 
4:02. The entity continues circling the room and rests, facing in the 
direction of SCP-2682. The mouth is seen moving toward SCP-2682 
at high speeds before surveillance cameras lose power for reasons 
currently unknown. The room was investigated afterwards and 
SCP-2682 could not be found.

SCP-2683: Proboscidea Pilgrimage 


Item #: SCP-2683 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2683 is to be monitored 
by a dedicated research team. Any instances of animals of the 
Proboscidea order entering the anomaly are to be noted. Due to the 
isolated nature of SCP-2683, confrontation with civilians over 
containment is unlikely; as a precaution, signs are to be posted at 
the perimeter stating that the area contains large amounts of 
hazardous subterranean gases. 


If any specimens not native to the area perish while in SCP-2683, 
the bodies are to be collected for analysis. After analysis, the bodies 
are to be incinerated. Genetic samples are to be stored. 


Description: SCP-2683 designates a forest clearing located in 
National Park, India. The clearing is 0.6km2 in size, and is populated 
by local fauna. The clearing contains a large pond whose volume 
has not been observed to change either in droughts or during the 
rainy season. 


SCP-2683 is subject to a temporal and spatial anomaly. Various 
specimens of the order Proboscidea have been seen to materialise 
on the edge of the clearing before making their way down to the 
pond in the centre. Native, non-native, and extinct species have all 
been witnessed. All specimens apparently exhibit the same 
behaviour pattern: touching the tips of their trunks to the surface of 
the water, and then expelling large amounts of tears from their eyes. 
Some individuals have been seen placing branches on the surface 
of the pond. The majority of specimens will de-materialise after a 
variable amount of time; however, specimens have been known to 
stand at the water until they die, apparently of malnutrition. A 
complete log of species sighted at SCP-2683 is found below (not 


inahidina ananinn nothnin ta tha avan\ 


A 1km radius around any areas experiencing an outbreak of 
SCP-306 is to be quarantined. Areas are to have all water and 
sewer systems sealed. Hazmat teams are to be deployed in the 
area, and all persons in the quarantine zone are to be evacuated 
and screened for infection. Uninfected persons are to be released, 
with non-Foundation employees administered Class B amnestics. 
Infected persons are to be terminated. Following completed 
evacuation, enclosed areas are to be sterilized with ethylene oxide. 
In unenclosed areas, controlled burning, followed by a ground 
sweep, are to be enacted. Wetlands harboring SCP-306 are to be 
impounded, filled, and sealed with concrete. Preventing SCP-306 
from infecting any large body of water is an Alpha-class priority. 


Description: SCP-306 is a fungus related to the genus 
Trichophyton. SCP-306 can infect humans through inhalation of 
spores or by skin to skin contact. Initial symptoms of infection 
include coughing and sneezing, and skin lesions. Lesions caused by 
SCP-306 display a morphology similar to the benign epithelial 
tumors caused by HPV infection, and reach full size after 
approximately two (2) days. Lesions are prone to shedding, after 
which another lesion forms underneath. Lesions that fall from the 
body of infected subjects are light enough to be carried by wind, and 
capable of spreading SCP-306 for years. If untreated, lesions 
caused by SCP-306 can cover the body within two (2) weeks. 
SCP-306 appears to mainly infect humans; however, testing is 
ongoing to determine any additional carriers. SCP-306 has been 
shown to grow in nearly all biological matter. 


SCP-306's primary anomalous property will only manifest when 
growing on human tissue. When infecting a human, SCP-306 
secretes several previously unknown enzymes. These enzymes 
catalyze an unknown process which drastically alters the structure of 
cells, resulting in the formation of several extra organelles of an 
indeterminate function. 


Approximately two (2) weeks following infection, infected subjects 
begin to develop major physiological modifications. Over the course 
of the next three (3) weeks, subjects rapidly lose weight, followed by 
the development of abnormal pigmentation and increased water 
permeability of skin. Subjects who are still able to speak describe

Addendum 1: Researchers deployed a small aquatic drone to give 
a picture of the inside of the pond. The depth from the drone 
exploration was revealed to be around 15-17 metres. Footage 
revealed a large, elephantine skeleton is situated at the bottom of 
the pool; a 2-person dive is planned to recover large amounts of 
bone for analysis. 


Update: The two-man dive has been designated Incident-2683-A. 
Logs of this incident are found below. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


Agent Dhawan: Comms are good on this end. Confirm, 
Couzens? 


Agent Couzens: Confirm. 

Dr. Hamidou: Alright. Descend. 

Agent Dhawan: Affirmative. 

Divers descend further into the pool. 

Agent Couzens: We have visual on the skeleton. 

Dr. Hamidou: Good, proceed with collecting the bones. 
Agent Dhawan: Got it, collecting samples. 


The divers attempt to remove some of the bones from 
the sediment, but appear to fail. 


Agent Couzens: These bones won't budge. 
Agent Dhawan: I'm going to get a better grip, hold on. 
At this point, Agent Dhawan removes his gloves and 


makes skin contact with the bones. He pauses in his 
action. 


Agent Couzens: What's up? You alright? 


Agent Dhawan: | know why I'm here. She has 
connected with me, and healed me. 


Dr. Hamidou: Agent Dhawan, are you alright? 


Agent Dhawan: | can't believe that they... that you, 
killed her. 


Agent Couzens: Dhawan, pull away. We're getting out 
of here, come on. 


Agent Dhawan: This place... it was sacred, until they 
came. 


Dr. Hamidou: Agent Couzens, pull up. We can retrieve 
Agent Dhawan later. 


Agent Dhawan: It's great that... she connected with us, 
so we could come here. I'm going back home, now. 


Agent Dhawan vanishes, leaving no trace. 


Agent Couzens: What the fuck? Where the hell did he 
go? 


Dr. Hamidou: Get back here, Couzens. Quickly. 
Agent Couzens returns to the surface. 
Further dives into the pond failed to locate Agent Dnawan. 


On / /2017, agents in Colombo, Sri Lanka, discovered Agent 
Dhawan in a psychiatric hospital, where he was designated 
SCP-2683-1. Dhawan mimicked the mannerisms and behaviour of 
an elephant, and did not display any human behavioural traits. Staff 
at the institution stated that Dnawan had been found wandering the 
streets, and was apprehended after assaulting several civilians. It 
was noted from records that Agent Dhawan was born in Colombo. 
No further dives are planned.

SCP-2684: Where's the Beach? 


Item #: SCP-2684 
Object Class: Safe 
Threat Level: Green @ 


Special Containment Procedures: Beach and the land 
surrounding it has been purchased by the South Coast Properties, a 
Foundation front organization, under the cover story that the land is 
being converted into an exclusive housing development. 


Two guards are to be posted along Beach at all times. Any 
entrance into the water outside of testing is to be strictly forbidden. 


Description: SCP-2684 is an anomalous phenomenon affecting 
Beach, located in , FL, USA. Individuals in the water will 
disappear if they are at least ten meters from the shoreline, lose 
sight of the shoreline and are unobserved by any individual on the 
beach. Most often, this occurs when an individual is submerged by a 
wave, but can also occur when they voluntarily dive underwater. 


All objects held by or attached to an individual affected by SCP-2684 
also disappear along with the individual. If an individual cannot be 
observed, but an object held by them can, they will not disappear. 


No individuals that have gone missing as a result of SCP-2684 have 
been discovered. Radio waves from individuals who been affected 
by SCP-2684 (if they entered SCP-2684 with a radio) emanate from 
an indeterminate point in the water. However, individuals appear 
unable to receive wireless transmissions. 


Individuals affected by SCP-2684 report to be in an open ocean with 
no observed landmasses. It is currently hypothesized that SCP-2684 
transports affected individuals into an alternate reality or dimension 
only containing water. No method of escape from this reality has 


been determined. 


SCP-2684 was discovered after a seven-year old child went missing 
after last being seen at Beach. Foundation agents confirmed the 
anomalous properties of the beach after investigating the case for 
anomalous interference. False remains of the child were created 
and a cover story involving the kidnapping and murder of the child 
was fabricated.

Subject: D-8872 


Procedure: D-8872 is given a waterproof 
camera and radio and instructed in the usage 
of both. D-8872 was then instructed to swim 
into the water, approximately fifteen meters 
from shore and briefly submerge herself. 


BEGIN LOG 


D-8872 is on shore, having just activated her 
camera and radio. Foundation personnel are 
observed by the camera. The beach is 
otherwise empty. 


D-8872: Is this thing on? 


Mission Control: Camera and radio are 
functioning as expected, please proceed with 
the test. 


D-8872: Roger that. 


D-8872 proceeds into the water, and begins to 
swim away from the shore. 


D-8872: Is this good? 


Mission Control: Yes. Please submerge 
yourself beneath the water for thirty seconds. 


D-8872 complies, submerging herself beneath 
the water. Ten seconds later, the camera feed 
cuts out. 


D-8872: Alright, | did that. Wait, where's the 
beach? 


Mission Control: Thank you D-8872. Please 
submerge yourself again. 


D-8872: Mission Control? Copy? 


Mission Control: This is Mission Control. 
D-8872, can you hear us? 


D-8872: Alright, Katie, maybe you're just using 
the wrong channel. Let's see... 


Mission Control: D-8872, you are using the 
correct channel. Copy? 


D-8872: Mission Control, come in. This is 
D-8872. 


At this moment, Mission Control was ordered 
to consider the mission over and stop 
attempting to respond to D-8872. D-8872 was 
officially declared lost. 


D-8872: Control, please pick up. 


D-8872: There's no fucking beach. Where'd 
the beach go? Where'd the beach go? 
Where'd the beach go? 


D-8872: | guess they've given up. Stay calm, 
Katie. Find your own way out. 


There are repeated splashing noises, and 
gasping in between for the next three minutes. 


D-8872: Okay, so the reverse doesn't work. 


Maybe you can stand somewhere... you need 
to calm down. 


D-8872: Why would it get less shallow? If the 
ground's gone, it wouldn't have any reason to 
get higher. 


D-8872: What's that? 


There are splashing sounds, believed to be 
D-8872 is swimming. 


D-8872: Poor kid... 


D-8872: Holy shit, that's a lot of bodies. Did 
none of these people make it out? 


D-8872: Our Father who art in heaven, 
hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom... What's 
the use? Why would God help a sinner already 
in Hell? 


D-8872: faintly Help... 


There are splashing sounds after this, followed 
by silence. No further audio is recorded from 
D-8872's radio.

Subject: D-3613 


Procedure: D-3613 is given a waterproof 
radio, a GPS, an inflatable raft, a sextant, two 
weeks of provisions and other supplies. 

D-3613 is instructed to enter the water at the 
same location as D-8872 and then briefly 
submerge himself for thirty seconds. After 
submerging, he is then to inflate the raft. He is 
then instructed to explore the encountered 


area, sending regular radio reports to the 
Foundation. 


BEGIN LOG 


D-3613: Day 1, Log 1. Inflated the raft and 
aboard. Setting up supplies now, going to take 
a GPS reading. 


D-3613: Day 1, Log 2. GPS didn't work. 
Followed the instructions, double checked 
everything. Replaced the batteries, inspected 
the parts. Thing didn't turn on. Going to try with 
the other stuff next at noon. 


D-3613: Day 1, Log 3: Bunch of dead bodies 
floating in the water. Probably two dozens. 
One's a D-Class. Guess I'm not the first to 
come in here. 


D-3613: Day 1, Log 4. Used the sextant, the 
maps and the compass and everything. My 
location should be in the middle of Florida. 
Suppose that confirms that the ground is gone. 


D-3613: Day 2, Log 1. Just been floating for a 
while now. There's almost no wind here. Don't 
like that. Haven't seen anything since the 
bodies yesterday. Oh, and there haven't been 
any clouds. Very hot. Sea has been calm, on 
the bright side. 


D-3613: Day 2, Log 2. These rations are pretty 
bland. Going to start fishing tomorrow. | was 
going to have to at some point, might as well 
start earlier. 


D-3613: Day 3, Log 1. There hasn't been 
anything except water. 


D-3613: Day 3, Log 1. [sic] Didn't catch 


anything. 


D-3613: Day 4, Log 1. Didn't catch anything. 
Nothing but water. 


D-3613: Day 5. No catch. Just water. 
D-3613: Six. Water and no fish. 
D-3613: Seven. Just water. 


D-3613: Day 8. You assholes sent me into a 
place without fish with fishing supplies. 


D-3613: Day 11, | think. There was a shark 
today. Saw it by the fin, and managed to 
harpoon it. Cut open its belly, it hadn't eaten in 
a while. Going to have shark for the next 
couple of days. 


D-3613: Day - oh, fuck it.! Didn't know you 
could get the aurora this far south. Pretty. 


D-3613: Out of food. There's nothing here. 
Thanks for the knife. At least you bastards had 
the decency to give me a way out.
