INTERNAL EXAMINATION: Internal reproductive 
organs are absent. Significant reduction in size of 
frontal lobes9; acute hyperplasia!® in amygdala. 
Pelvic bone used to determine sex (female). Lung 
tissue indicates rapid onset of hypoxic hypoxia. 


LABORATORY DATA: Genetic analysis indicates 
significant deviations from human DNA. No 
matches in Foundation database. 


NOTES: Subject asphyxiated. Internal damage to 
the coffin led to its collapse; subject was crushed 
beneath the weight of the soil, preventing 
respiration. Evidence suggests damage to face 
and jaw were sustained during repeated strikes 
against the coffin's lid.

Addendum 2679.2: Recovery 


On 9/2/2014, reports of an expanding cemetery led to the discovery 
of SCP-2679. In addition to 14 instances of SCP-2679-A, 9 non- 
anomalous graves were found. All were exhumed for relocation. Of 
particular note was a tombstone with the following inscription: 


JEANNETTE PARSLOV 
1994 - 2014 


Daughter, sister, mother, wife. 
You were far too young to lose yout life. 
Whatever it takes, 
Do what you must, 
Whatever the cost, 
Come back to us. 


Upon exhumation, the grave was found to be empty.

DISPLAYING SCP-2680, MAJOR REVISIONS ONLY, 
CLEARANCE LEVEL 4 


Item #: SCP-2680 
Object Class: Keter Euclid 


Containment Protocols: One infected individual is incarcerated 
within Detention Cell 48 at Site-75, which should be constantly 
under guard and possess a single slot through which meal rations 
may be inserted thrice per day. Guards should make all reasonable 
attempts to avoid physical contact with the individual, and be 
prepared to shoot and burn the individual's corpse should an escape 
be attempted. All personnel that might come into contact with 
SCP-2680 or SCP-2680-1 must be clad in full-piece one-body 
Mackintoshes over waxed-cotton garments and Hurd respirators; 
outfits tainted by SCP-2680-1 fluid or discharge must be promptly 
incinerated. 


Infected individuals should be dealt with using long-range weaponry 
and their bodies cremated, as close-quarters combat is strictly 


forbidden and no attempts should be made to physically handle 
infected persons. As locating and eradicating both individuals 
afflicted by the malady and communities in which SCP-2680 plagues 
large proportions of the population is a crucial component of 
containment, Investigative Team I-3 ("Plague Doctors") has been 
assigned to this task with offensive equipment including .56 caliber 
Colt Model 1855 revolving carbines, 1-inch caliber Model 1861 
Gatling guns, and gelignite and dynamite explosive weaponry. 


If more than one-fourth of a community is infected by SCP-2680, the 
entire population must be quarantined and the community destroyed 
with explosives, while any and all survivors are to be euthanatized 
and disposed of in the manner noted above. 


Nota Bene 16/07/1900: 


Investigative Team K-3 ("Teetotalers") has begun fortifying all 
commercial alcohol stocks across the continental United States with 
Compound Jenner at a concentration of one teaspoon per bushel, 
doubling the proportion of Compound Jenner in such regions where 
SCP-2680 recurs frequently; for insertion into regions of the United 
States such as that do not consume commercial alcohol and 
inoculation of individual residents throughout the United States that 
abstain from alcohol consumption or otherwise support temperance, 
thus precluding the insertion of Compound Jenner into alcohol 
stocks, it should be mixed into smallpox vaccines at 3 drops per vial 
and then spread through aggressive vaccination campaigning, the 
process of which is to be overseen by Investigative Team K-4 
("Witch Doctors"). 


Jenner's efficacy at curing SCP-2680 is to be evaluated every three 
months; should its efficacy decrease, new variants are to be 
developed and seeded following the protocols outlined in Document 
2680-1. 


An investigation is ongoing regarding potential connections between 
SCP-2680 and GoI #001 ("The Chicago Spirit"). 


Nota Bene 08/09/1906 


Compound Jenner's ubiquity in the residents and citizens of the 


United States has achieved a level that diminishes further efforts to 
transmit it through the United States, enabling Overwatch Command 
to declare a moratorium on its production and the transference of 
resources and efforts of containment of SCP-2680 on tracking down 
and eradicating any remaining infected individuals, which shall be 
overseen by Investigative Team I-3. 


Description: SCP-2680 is an anomalous viral disease that 
resembles smallpox, possessing similar symptoms such as the 
formation of irregular pustules, inflamed spots, lassitude, and 
delirium, though there are three key differences: One, that no known 
cure for SCP-2680 exists, with all attempts at inoculation resulting in 
contraction of the anomalous malady. Two, that the irregular 
pustules form not only on the patients’ extremities and outer body, 
but also on the internal cavities such as the liver and intestines. 
Three, that the pustules are swelled with a green mixture not merely 
of turgid pus, but also alcohol otherwise fit for human consumption. 
Contact with this fluid is the primary method by which SCP-2680 
spreads from man to man; while it is theorized that the infectious 
agent may also be spread though air, a mere one third of all those 
observed to have been contaminated have contracted the malady 
while the remainder are afflicted with ordinary pox. 


Rather than slowly leaking, SCP-2680 pustules continually swell up 
with fluid till bursting, thus spraying the immediate area with a fluid 
discharge up to a three-meter radius; to facilitate this process, 
patients have been observed to compulsively bite at the sores until 
they burst, consuming some of the resulting discharge as a form of 
reward. Despite lacking any will to halt their own self-cannibalism, 
those indisposed report performing these acts of their own volition, 
and universally describe these actions as a soothing way of coping 
with the disease. 


While the fatality rate of SCP-2680 infection is greater than 90 
percent, those infected by SCP-2680 only die after at least thirty-to- 
fifty days, while ordinary smallpox victims usually die after ten-to- 
sixteen days. Death is caused by the rapid and immediate bursting 
of all pustules and sores inside and outside the body, causing the 
body to rupture explosively. 


First Contact 


This document was transcribed from the post-encounter 
commentary of Eustace Bagge (Captain of I-3) two 
weeks after his team confirmed the existence of 
SCP-2680. 


Of course we heard the rumors; smallpox that could not 
be inoculated against, that caused beer to spill from 
every orifice, that caused men to split open and burst like 
overfilled balloons. We were the Foundation; we'd heard 
rumors just like that for years, rumors of bubonic plague 
that caused men to turn into walking ghouls, of cholera 
that made men dissolve into the water leaking out of 
them. And of course we investigated, and of course for 
every twenty rumors we did so, we found perhaps one 
anomaly. And so, just like the cholera, or the bubonic 
plague, we assumed that this was merely the fear- 
mongering of a few backwater farmers. 


We were prepared for anomalies of course: we were 
inoculated; we wore our Hurd masks; we wore our one- 
piece Mackintoshes and hoods, these thick, stifling coats 
that were just as likely to suffocate you as protect you; 
we were armed to the teeth. And so we encountered the 
damnable plague in the middle of July, in a backwater 
farm village in the middle of Missouri. It was near the 
middle of the day when we arrived, exhausted, hungry, 
hunched over from the weight of our packs and sweating 
like pigs. The middle of the day and the damn village 
was deserted, a ramshackle mess of cottages and sheds 
with nary a man in sight. We slammed on the inn's door 
for fifteen minutes before someone opened it. 


It took us an hour to explain why we were there and 
another hour for him to believe us. Where was the town 
doctor, we asked? Dead. Popped like a booze-filled 
balloon, the innkeeper claimed. Where was his body? 
Burned, naturally. Who else was sick? A girl, quarantined 
in the clinic. Her family had fled. Surely there were 
others, we asked? They went up in smoke like their 
houses. 


We entered the clinic - what was left of it, it was a hollow 
gutted shell, burned to the ground. The basement, the 
trapdoor was locked. We had to kick it open. Inside... 
Bones everywhere, scorched beyond belief. The air was 
thick with putrefaction and liquor. Row after row of beds, 
blown to smithereens. There were still bodies - these 
bloated, rotting, gutted husks that were popped like 
balloons. Horrible. The girl.... the girl was in the far 
corner of the room. Nobody had attended to her for days. 
They had left her to fester in her own filth! She was 
riddled with sores, pustules, and rashes. And she was 
gnawing at them! Pus, alcohol, and blood squirting out of 
her and she lapped it up like a dog. We got near her - we 
were careful not to touch her wounds - and tried to talk to 
her. Interrogate her. And the whole time we did, she kept 
eating herself alive. We would pull her hands away and 
within minutes this wretched creature would nibble the 
pustules off her shoulder. She just would not - could not 
explain what had happened to her, how she had fallen ill, 
what had happened to those other damned souls, or her 
family, where they had gone. Of course this was our 
greatest fear - where had her family gone? Were they 
infected? If the plain pox could spread like wildfire... 


We had been trying to wring something, anything useful 
out of the child for three hours before she died. She tried 
to speak and then swelled up. | immediately ordered my 
men to pull back out of the house. | looked back as we 
ran, and | saw the fear in her eyes... and then there was 
a sound like a dozen Gatlings and the room exploded. 
When we had recovered from the blast, what was left of 
the room was splattered in blood, pus, and alcohol. We 
bagged what was left of the body, burned down the 
house, and left. 


Two weeks later Campbell collapsed. We never did 
figure out how he got infected - probably a tear in the 
Mack - but there was no mistaking what had happened. 
Thank God we were already under probationary 
quarantine. He was thrown into his own quarantine then, 


and through it we could see him eating himself alive. 
Two weeks after that he exploded. 


Nota Bene 18/02/1891: At this time, it is estimated that as much as 
thirty percent of all smallpox victims are currently infected with 
SCP-2680, forcing Overwatch to declare a state of emergency 
regarding this event and mandate that euthanatization of 
SCP-2680-1 instances be considered the primary method of 
containment. 


Nota Bene 16/06/1896: Testing of the secretions of [REDACTED], 
combined with minute portions of lead and hydrargyrum, mixed with 
alcohol, has proven efficacious in eliminating and preventing 
SCP-2680 infection in 99% of all test subjects. Efforts to scale up 
production of the substance are underway. 


Item #: SCP-2680 
Object Class: Keter 


Containment Protocols: 

One liter of SCP-2680 is currently contained at Site-75, stored inside 
a glass bottle in a Biological Containment Cell, that is not to be 
touched by hand and should only be handled by D-Class personnel 
in protective clothing. All employees at Site-75 are strictly prohibited 
from consuming alcoholic beverages, likewise no alcoholic 
beverages whatsoever are allowed within Site-75, with punishment 
ranging from formal reprimand to immediate termination out of 
concern of contamination. Proposals to test with SCP-2680 must be 
evaluated by the Committee for B Hazards. 


All Foundation personnel are encouraged to abstain from alcohol 
consumption and join local temperance movements such as the 
Anti-Saloon League, several of which are currently receiving 
discreet funding from Foundation front companies; while it is 
rumored that the United States government will officially outlaw 
alcohol, such an action is considered extremely unlikely especially 
as a result of the Great War, leaving the matter in the hands of the 
population and therefore the Foundation. 


hours from the cessation of hallucinations, SCP-305’s humanoid 
manifestation will appear and kill the subject. Causes of death are 
varied but include severe cardiac infarct, muscle spasm leading to 
severing of the spinal column, diaphragm paralysis and 
[REDACTED]. 


A subject who dies of any cause after the beginning of the second 
phase [DATA EXPUNGED] followed by the emergence of an 
instance of SCP-305-1 from the corpse. SCP-305-1 are humanoids 
slightly smaller than SCP-305 itself. Unlike SCP-305, SCP-305-1 
seem to be made of a smooth hard white substance and the lips and 
mouths on their surfaces are extremely lifelike. SCP-305-1 have the 
same abilities as SCP-305, and although they are created with a 
very short range of 2 meters, this range increases exponentially over 
time. SCP-305-1 move at 30 km/h and seem naturally drawn ina 
direct line toward the nearest densely populated area, presumably in 
an attempt to further propagate themselves. SCP-305-1 are highly 
resistant to bullets and cutting weapons — elimination teams should 
be equipped with heavy ballistics and explosives. 


In subjects who have entered stage two, manifestation of 
SCP-305-1 can only be prevented by removal of 80% [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum 305-1:
