The individuals responsible for the presence of the 
bodies, ores, and materials (designated Gol-L19) have 
not been identified. It is possible that this group is still 
active and are attempting to construct a nuclear reactor 
using expendable workers under unsafe/illegal 
conditions. Their location and motives are unclear, but all 
relevant information has been turned over to both local 
and federal departments. If found, individuals of this 
group must be detained to ensure they do not pose an 
information security risk. 


Further perplexing is the fact that most of the deceased 
individuals were deemed to have died after the area 
came under Foundation control as SCP-067-Ex. It is 
likely that SCP-067-EX’s premises were breached under 
cover of night, as the security cameras placed around 
the perimeter of the area were not equipped with an 
infrared filter, and functioned incredibly poorly in low light 


conditions. This in and of itself constitutes a significant 
Foundation oversight, and upon further inspection, it is 
not believed that SCP-067-EX’s containment procedures 
were ever up to Foundation standards. 


Disciplinary action will be taken against SCP-067-EX’s 
containment team, as their oversight is responsible for 
Gol-L19's continued activity and, consequently, 
completely avoidable civilian deaths and potential 
security breaches.

Domesticated cats produce members of Felis silvestris, Felis chaus, 
and Felis margarita almost uniformly. 


Small pony breeds and donkeys have produced primitive equines, 
some relatively small in size and labeled "cripplingly adorable" by 
staff members. They have been observed to be very high-strung and 
react quickly to danger. Staff are reminded that many species of 
proto-horse do bite when threatened. 


Elephants have produced mammoths and mastodons, much to the 
thrill of certain senior staff members. Both seem quite intelligent, and 
may be trained in a fashion similar to modern-day elephants. 
However, they seem to do poorly when removed from the area and 
have difficulty adapting to eating modern vegetation. 


Rhinoceros brought into the area have produced [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 

Note: "What do you mean we can't weaponize them? That would be 
AWESOME!" - Dr. Rights 


Dolphins and other modern-day cetaceans have produced their 
counterparts. The most common example of this are various species 
of Squalodon. Hopes are high that a large cetacean might produce a 
specimen of Basilosaurus or something similar; plans are underway 
to acquire a breeding pair of [DATA REDACTED]. 


An ostrich brought into the area laid an egg that did not hatch. Upon 
dissection, the egg was discovered to contain the fetus of an 
unidentified species of terror bird (Phorusrhacidae). 


Additional tests are planned once parent specimens can be 
acquired.

SCP-888-EX: tan and laundry by dado 


Item #: SCP-888-EX 
Object Class: Explained 
Special Containment Procedures: N/A 


Description: SCP-888-EX is a building located in , FL, USA. 
SCP-888-EX is owned by known Person of Interest and 
parapharmacologist "dado"! and operated as a dual laundry and 
tanning service. SCP-888-EX is currently branded as "laundry and 
tan by dado". 


As far as can be determined, SCP-888-EX has no anomalous 
features, phenomena or qualities. Kant counter readings of 
SCP-888-EX have returned Hume level readings entirely consistent 
with the surrounding area, and field investigation has revealed no 
anomalies to be present. Additionally, no equipment that would be of 
use in the production and distribution of parapharmaceuticals has 
been located anywhere within SCP-888-EX, indicating that dado 
does not use SCP-888-EX for either purpose. 


Since SCP-888-EX is believed to be wholly nonanomalous and 
attempts to use it to apprehend dado were unsuccessful, it is not 
within the purview of the SCP Foundation charter. Containment of 
SCP-888-EX would represent a violation of several clauses between 
the Foundation and the Unusual Incidents Unit within the SUSEOCT 
(Southern United States Extranormal Organization Cooperation 
Treaty). Therefore, SCP-888-EX has been allowed to resume prior 
business operations. 


Addendum-A: SCP-888-EX was discovered during Extranormal 
Event-82901, in which multiple billboards in the Southern Florida 
region were anomalously altered to display an advertisement for 
SCP-888-EX. The following text was discovered on each billboard, 
written over any preexisting advertisement. 


helo (this is dado) 


are u in need of cleaner 
clothes 


or dirtier skin? 


fear not 
for laundry and tan by dado? 
can do all both 


conviently located in 
3 


trust dado 


Notably, the closest anomalously altered billboard was located 
approximately fifty kilometers away from , FL, USA. 


While previous statements by dado had indicated that SCP-888-EX 
existed, this was the first indication of SCP-888-EX's location. Due 
to the prior interactions with dado, SCP-888-EX was assigned an 
SCP designation as proper investigation began. However, it was 
determined that despite the anomalous method of SCP-888-EX's 
advertising, SCP-888-EX itself was mundane. 


Addendum-B: The following is a transcription of the body camera of 
a Foundation agent attempting to investigate SCP-888-EX, 
conducted before the reclassification of SCP-888-EX as Explained. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


Agent Min activates his hidden body camera and aqdjusts 
it before exiting his vehicle and entering SCP-888-EX. 
He is greeted at the front desk by a receptionist, a 
teenage male. 


Receptionist: Hello, welcome to laundry and tan by 
dado. Are you here for the laundry or the tan. 


Agent Min: Actually, I'm from City Hall. | was hoping to 
speak with the owner. 


Receptionist: | don't know who that is. 


Agent Min: Our records say that the owner goes by the 
name of dado? The name of the establishment is 
"laundry and tan by dado". 


Receptionist: Oh. That makes sense. 

There is a short pause. 

Agent Min: Um, | still need to speak with him. 
Receptionist: Can't help you. 

Agent Min: Could | perhaps speak to the manager? 
Receptionist: | guess. 


The receptionist turns around and yells into the 
backroom of SCP-888-EX. 


Receptionist: Hey Eric! 


The manager of SCP-888-EX exits the backroom in 
response. 


Manager: What's this about? 


Receptionist: This guy. 


Agent Min: Hello, I'm from City Hall. I'm trying to get in 
contact with the owner of this establishment, dado? 


Manager: Oh sure, | can help you. Do you want to take 
this to my office? 


Agent Min: That's fine. 


The manager of SCP-888-EX leads Agent Min into the 
back of SCP-888-EX and into his office, offering Agent 
Min a seat. 


Manager: So, the truth is that, uh, I've never actually met 
dado. 


Agent Min: Never? 


Manager: No, not once. | have his phone number, but 
I've never actually met the man. 


Agent Min: How were you hired? 


Manager: | saw an ad in the paper a year back, looking 
for a manager. It said to send in a resume, so | did. A 
couple days later | got a call saying | was hired and was 
told to head over here. Once | got here, | had a whole list 
of tasks and a wad of cash. 


Agent Min: So you just ... started working for dado 
without ever meeting him? 


Manager: Yeah... He files all the paperwork and 
everything fine, I've just never seen him. The job pays 
well enough and there's nothing illegal going on, so... 


Agent Min: Is it a fair assumption to say that you are 
responsible for running this, then? 


Manager: I'd really say so. I've done all of the hiring and 
filing. dado is mostly hands off. 


Agent Min: | see. You do have a way to contact dado, 


correct? 
Manager: Well, | have his number, | can give you that. 


The manager of SCP-888-EX writes a phone number 
down and gives it to Agent Min. 


Agent Min: Thank you. While I'm here, I'd like to ask you 
about an advertising incident that occurred for this 
establishment. 


Manager: We've never advertised. 


Agent Min produces photos of the billboards modified 
during Extranormal Event-82901 and places them on the 
table between himself and the manager of SCP-888-EX. 


Manager: When did this happen? 
Agent Min: Last week. 


Manager: So, a couple weeks ago | mentioned to dado 
that business was slumping a little. He got all worried 
and said that he'd help me out, set up some advertising 
for us here. So | guess this is the result of that. 


Agent Min: You've never seen these before? 


Manager: Never and... oh god, these are awful. They 
don't have our number or address on them! How are 
people supposed to find us? And... oh god, "dirtier skin"? 
Dirtier skin? 


Agent Min: So | imagine that you have not had an 
increase in business since then? 


Manager: Well, now that you mention it... | think the FBI 
is monitoring us now, it started a week ago. There's all 
these unmarked vans in the parking lot now; I'm pretty 
sure | saw some point a geiger counter at me the other 
day; these guys will show up at the same time, walk in 
together and then not talk to each other at all while 


they're here, the whole time walking around looking 
everywhere.4 


Agent Min: Ah, well, dado is wanted for involvement in 
some, illegal activities. 


Manager: Oh, he actually mentioned something like that 
once. He said he made "magic" drugs that were unlike 
anything you could get in the world. 


Agent Min: Really? 


Manager: Yeah, | asked him if he could make some 
magic stuff for here. 


Agent Min: What did he say? 


Manager: "dado not god. dado cannot do all. dado is not 
in field of anomalaundry." Whatever that's supposed to 
mean. 


Agent Min: That's something. 
Manager: Yeah, something all right. 


Agent Min: | have to say, your employer seems quite 
odd. Did he ever explain why he operates like this? With 
all the no contact? Why does he run this? 


Manager: | actually asked him why he was interested in 
this place. He said he was a "true capitalist" and this was 
a "way to expand business opportunity". 


Agent Min: And you? Why do you work here? 


Manager: Pays well, and in this economy | can't afford to 
be picky. 


Agent Min: Well, thank you. This has been helpful. 


Agent Min leaves SCP-888-EX and deactivates his body 
camera. 


[END LOG] 


The phone number provided has been verified as accurate and as 
the method by which the manager of SCP-888-EX contacts dado, 
but all attempts at communication or tracing the number have been 
unsuccessful. 


Footnotes 

1. Wanted by the Foundation for alleged involvement in the creation 
of several parapharmaceutical products. 

2. On the actual billboards, the colors of the preceding text 
anomalously cycle. 

3. Censorship is result of a RAISA edit. Original billboards did not 
censor the location of SCP-888-EX. 

4. All of these actions correspond to Foundation attempts to 
investigate SCP-888-EX. 


Explained SCPs: These are SCPs which are no longer 
considered odd, paranormal, or extraordinary by current 
standards. They are written with this in mind. 


An -EX, which stands for Explained, SCP is one which 
we have figured out. It is an SCP that is no longer an 
SCP, either because it has become common place, we 
worked out the rules behind it, or that it has just become 
a complete non issue. 


The difference between a regular SCP and an SCP-EX 
are, mainly, three. First, the -EX designation. Any SCP 
made as an -EX needs to have a page title of SCP-###- 
EX. Second, the containment protocol. While | would still 
like to see the old containment protocols, perhaps striked 
out, an -EX no longer needs to be contained, for 
whatever reason. And, number three, at the end of the 
article, there needs to be a section detailing HOW it went 
from normal to -EX.

SCP-1763-EX: How To Write An SCP 


Document-1763-EX-001, 12/02/1984 


Item #: SCP-1763 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1 763 is 
currently contained within a specially constructed Hostile 
Organism Containment Chamber at Site-94, fitted with 
high-durability surveillance technology and sprinkler 
systems retrofitted to dispense gaseous sedatives. 
SCP-1763 is to be fed one adult pig on the first of each 
month, or the equivalent in pre-prepared meat. No 
additional contact with the entity is to be made. 


Description: SCP-1763 is a large (averaging twelve 
metres in length), nocturnal, carnivorous mammal, 
formerly native to farmland in rural England. SCP-1763 
possesses minor perception-altering capabilities, which it 
uses to conceal itself through rudimentary camouflage. 
When given sufficient opportunity, SCP-1763 develops 
an extremely predatory nature and will act as such. 


SCP-1763's morphology is somewhat variable, as is the 
strength of its primary anomalous effect, with the entity 
tending to increase in size and decrease in visibility over 
time. It is hypothesised that this represents accelerated 
adaption to an environment in which observation is 
nearly constant, and the potential limit to this adaption is 
unknown. As SCP-1763 has so far been responsible for 
upwards of 30 fatalities while in containment, research is 
currently a high-level priority. 


SCP-562: Revel Rousers 


Item #: SCP-562 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the spontaneous and 
non-physical nature of SCP-562, prevention of its effects is likely 
impossible. Containment, therefore, is to center around reducing the 
occurrence of 562-Claim events, identifying unreported SCP-562 
incidents, and suppressing public knowledge of the anomalous 
components. 


Common aliases used by SCP-562 have been filed on major sex- 
offender registries around the world. Evidence suggests that internet 
safety training also reduces the occurrence of successful 562-Claim 
events, so this is to be encouraged in European schools. 


Description: SCP-562 is the designation for a phenomenon 
sporadically occurring on internet chat sites. During SCP-562 
events, a user is contacted by an entity most frequently identifying 
itself as “Sylvia Gateman’”, “Tom Hedge”, or “Dick O’Dale”. For a 
complete list of names used by SCP-562, consult Addendum 562-4. 
Accounts of SCP-562 are non-anomalous and usually discarded 


after use.
