Human Cases 
11 November | Quito, Ecuador 1,331 13.9% 
2001 


The fourth outbreak of SCP-255 took place in an office building in 
the 12 de Octubre Avenue Business District of Quito, Ecuador. At 
the time of the outbreak, Ecuador had a population of approximately 
eleven million people. Additionally, the building in which the initial 
outbreak was localized was eleven stories high. The fourth outbreak 
is the first observed instance of SCP-255 being transmitted from 
person to person, with an incidence rate in laboratory conditions of 
13.9%. Infectious iterations of SCP-255 have since been observed 
to be transmitted from person to person by sustained close proximity 
(generally within a 2 m radius), despite the lack of observable 
pathogens. This change in pathogenecity, along with the higher 
initial number of cases, was responsible for the reclassification of 
SCP-255 to Keter effective 23 December 2001. 


Foundation operatives seized control of the building under the 
established World Health Organization cover. The size of the 
outbreak, however, mandated heightened secrecy protocols. Test 
subjects were transported to Bio Site-16 for observation. 


Similar to the second outbreak, infected individuals reported 
experiencing a phantom limb-like sensation. However, in this event 
the phenomenon was intensified greatly. Test subjects reported the 
sensation of seven additional limbs, originating at seemingly random 
points of the body with no apparent relation to existing anatomy. 
While the precise nature of the additional appendages was difficult 
to ascertain, infected persons reported that they felt as though they 
had three joints, were approximately a meter in length, and had no 
structure analogous to a hand or foot at the end. These "limbs" were 
apparently not subject to the painful contractions and sensations 
normally associated with amputees. However, subjects uniformally 
reported heightened distress at the sensation of seven additional 
limbs, moving independently of their control at most times. 


Additionally, test subjects lost conscious control of their left arms. At 
most times, subjects were unable to move their left arms. However, 
at 1100 hours local time each day, the left arms and hands of 
infected individuals would independently make motions analogous to 


crimes and exploited the most vulnerable in our society, 
those with no other options left to them. The time for 
fooling around with anime girls and funny cat pictures 
has come to an end. We are united under a mission. We 
have a purpose now. 


We accept no apologies or surrenders, only objectives. 
Celeramis 


Foundation web crawlers were unable to find relevant matches on 
the web for "Celeramis". No relevant online matches were found for 
either the English or Japanese titles of the anime referenced. 
Foundation network security teams traced the IP address of the 
sender to an unsold and unoccupied apartment in Denver, Colorado. 
Dr. V has received a new email address while his old address 
is monitored for new communications from "Celeramis". While it is 
possible that the email may provide further insight into the nature of 
SCP-2223 and its origins, it may also possibly be a hoax. In either 
case, the sender of the email possesses classified knowledge of the 
Foundation, and efforts to identify and apprehend the person/ 
organization are ongoing. 


It is possible, although unconfirmed, that "Shizuki" was intended to 
reference SCP-2223-A.

SCP-2224: Teeter-Pult 


Item #: SCP-2224 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2224 is located in the 
External Environmental Lab on Site 24. Level 2 security clearance or 
higher is required to access the object, in addition to permission 
from Dr. Darritz. 


Description: SCP-2224 is a teeter-totter made of wood and metal, 
fitted with two boards and four handles to accommodate up to four 
riders at a time. The object resembles an older style of teeter-totter 
which is no longer widely produced due to safety regulations in most 
countries. It was acquired from a village located in southern Finland 
after the Foundation was contacted by the local government. 


Each of SCP-2224's four seats have a single letter engraved into the 
wood where the rider would be positioned. The letters are A, B, ©, 
and D, with A and B engraved on one board, and © and D on the 
other. 


SCP-2224's effects only occur if a rider is sitting on the "A" or "©" 
seats, with another rider on the opposite end of the board. The 
effects are different depending on which seat is being utilized. Their 
individual effects are listed below. 


"A" Seat: The anomalous effect of the "A" seat is first initiated when 
both it and the "B" seat are occupied by riders. When the rider on 
the "A" seat pushes off from the ground causing the "B" seat to then 
touch the ground, the "A" seat rider will experience the feeling of 
being launched off the object, approximately 2.2 to 3 meters straight 
above the seat. When the "B" rider pushes off the ground again, the 
"A" rider will then feel as if they are falling back down on the seat at 
a velocity to be expected from their perceived height in the air. 
Visual and auditory hallucinations accompany this effect. 


The "A" rider's experience will always last approximately 2-3 
seconds, regardless of how long the "B" rider stays in the ground 
position after touching down. Tests have been done with the "B" 
rider staying in the ground position for up to 52 minutes, with the "A" 
rider not realizing how much time has passed until they are informed 
by the testing staff. The effect is broken as soon as the "B" rider 
leaves their seat, even if another person holds down the "B" end of 
the board first and takes the vacated seat. It can also be broken by 
removing the "A" rider from their seat(usually by tether) before they 
reach the ground position again. "A" riders who have the effect 
broken for them do not experience any anomalous feelings or 
hallucinations, or possibly forget them immediately. Testing has not 
yet yielded any other notable results for the "A" seat. 


"@" Seat: The anomalous effect of the "©" seat is initiated in a 
similar manner as the "A" seat's, with riders occupying both the "©" 
and "D" seats instead. It does differ in that the "D" rider must stay in 
the ground position for longer than 1.2 seconds after the "©" rider 
reaches their apex. The effect will not occur if the "D" rider's seat 
does not touch the ground at all, or the "D" rider immediately pushes 
off the ground again once their seat touches it. 


Unlike the "A" seat, riders on the "©" seat can have experiences that 
vary greatly in perceived time and velocity, depending on how long 
the "D" rider stays in the ground position. Due to the perceived time 
of the experience for riders of the "©" seat, their facial expressions 
will usually change rapidly while using SCP-2224, which often 
results in facial muscle tearing. "©" riders will often lose 
consciousness upon returning to the ground position, but only if the 
"D" rider maintained the ground position for longer than 20 seconds 
before pushing off the ground again. 


Breaking the effect is possible using the methods outlined for the "A" 
seat, with "©" riders having their experience nullified or forgotten 
similarly. Considerable testing of the "©" seat has been done to 
seek out any other similarities or differences between it and the "A" 
seat. Those results can be found in the table below. Tests beyond 
59 seconds are no longer authorized. 


+ "©" Seat Testing Results 


Time = amount of time the "D" rider spent in the ground 
position. Only D-Class personnel have been used to test 
SCP-2224's "©" seat so far. All tests have been 
conducted outdoors in the External Environmental Lab. 
SCP-2224's effects do not occur indoors.

Foreword: Interview with D-120048 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Darritz: Can you give me a detailed 
account of what you experienced? 


D-120048: I'm...I'm not sure. | only remember 
some Of it. It's...fuzzy. 


Dr. Darritz: Tell me what you do remember. 


D-120048: | remember going real fast, like, 
way too fast. My head hurt real bad, and | 
thought | was gonna suffocate. 


Dr. Darritz: What did you see? 


D-120048: | saw the ground gettin’ farther and 
farther away, an’ the next thing | know | was in 
the clouds. | think | passed out at some point, 
but then | woke up again. 


Dr. Darritz: And then? 


D-120048: | felt like | was slowin' down, an’ | 
heard a voice. It was real loud, but it still 
sounded far away. | could tell it was comin’ 
from a cloud in front of me. It sounded real 
weird though, like my old principal on the 
loudspeaker back in elementary school, only 
higher pitched. There was another sound 
behind it too, like a big roarin' jet engine. 


Dr. Darritz: What did the voice say? 


D-120048: |...| don't remember much of it, jus’ 
bits and pieces. | remember it sayin' somethin’ 
about gettin’ my ticket out. It sounded like it 
was tauntin' me, | remember now. It kept 
gettin’ louder an’ louder. 


Dr. Darritz: Did you see what the voice 
belonged to? 


D-120048: Well, not at first. | could jus’ tell it 
was comin’ from the cloud like | said. But yeah, 
it came out of the cloud after a bit, after the 


engine sound got so loud | thought my head 
was gonna burst. Things get real fuzzy though 
after that. 


Dr. Darritz: Any detail at all would be helpful. 
Take your time. 


D-120048: It was some sorta airplane, | know 
that for sure. But it was...pink...or pinkish | 
guess. | think it had a face, though. | jus’ 
remember it was huge, and it was comin’ right 
towards me, and it was screamin’ at me about 
my ticket. Shit, | dunno if | can handle this right 
now. 


Dr. Darritz: We can take a break if you'd like. 


D-120048: Nah, | only remember one more 
thing anyways. It's the last thing | remember 
before | woke up in this bed. | think | got 
sucked into one of the thing's jet engines. 


Dr. Darritz: Did you feel pain? 


D-120048: Oh yeah, | sure did. But it was only 
for a second and then things went black. Pretty 
sure the pink bastard ate me. 


Dr. Darritz: Ate you? What makes you say 
that? 


D-120048: 'Cause the last thing | remember 
before the pain hit was that it wasn't no regular 
jet engine. It was jus’ a gaping pink mouth with 
a lotta nasty lookin’ teeth. And it was where 
the voice and noise were comin’ from. It was 
screamin’ in my ears about my goddam ticket 
right until it...until it bit me in half.

what appeared to be the act of writing. When supplied with pen and 
paper, these individuals all wrote, in crudely formed script, the 
numbers "11 11 65", theorized at the time to be the date of the next 
outbreak, and confirmed eleven years later. 


All infected individuals ceased to be affected by SCP-255 within 3-4 
weeks. Test subjects were administered broad spectrum amnestics 
and released to Ecuadorian authorities. Foundation assets within the 
World Health Organization disseminated disinformation related to an 
exotic strain of malaria and subsequent treatment efforts as part of 
containment efforts.

The fifth and most recent outbreak of SCP-255 took place in 
Brussells, Belgium, where 11 individuals working on the eleventh 
floor of the NATO headquarters building all complained to medical 
staff of constantly hearing a set of eleven electronic tones, repeating 
constantly. Containment protocols were activated by Western 
Europe Sector personnel, and all infected subjects were transported 
to Bio Site-16.
