Lit lightbulb. There was no 
visible power source inside 
the trailer, and it is unknown 
how the object was able to 
function. 

Human male of 
approximately 11 years of 
age. Subject appeared to be 
stricken with panic. Subject 
was reported to have not 
attempted escape from 
SCP-2590, with Agent Orpik 
stating in his report that the 
subject was ‘paralyzed with 
fear’. 

Human female of 
approximately 40 years of 
age. Subject recognized 
Agent Inglis, who identified 
the subject as her sister. 
Agent Inglis was said by her 
partner, Agent Schultz, to 


#12 


#13 ‘Incident 2590-1", 
04/01/2008 


be in considerable distress. 
Efforts to recover subject 
from SCP-2590 failed. Soon 
after, Agent Inglis’ sister 
was found at home, 
unharmed, and said that 
she had been cleaning at 
the time of the incident. She 
denied that she had been 
anywhere else during that 
time. 

Human male, identified as 
Agent Moore. Of note is that 
Agent Moore was on duty 
with Agent Hall at the time 
of this instance. Moore was 
said by his partner to be 
‘puzzled and shocked’. 
Subject inside SCP-2590 
also appeared to recognize 
his duplicate outside of the 
instance. Attempts to extract 
the subject once again 
failed. 

Eyeball of an unknown 
species, measuring 
approximately 2 metres in 
diameter. Agents Killorn and 
Hayes were on duty at the 
time, and video footage 
shows the object rotate 180 
degrees to view them. Both 
agents reported a feeling of 
intense uneasiness and 
nausea, followed by sharp 
abdominal pain once 
SCP-2590's door closed. 
Following their shift, the 
agents were sent for 
medical evaluation, where

X-Ray examinations 
revealed potentially 
malignant tumors growing 
inside the agents' large 
intestines. Surgery was 
successful in removing 
these growths, and both 
agents have since made full 
recoveries. 

Human female identified 
using dashboard camera 
footage as Dr. _ . Subject 
attempted an unsuccessful 
escape. Subject tried to 
converse using sign 
language, which neither 
agent could understand due 
to lack of training. The real 
Dr. was found to be in 
the break room in Site- at 
the time of this instance. 
Human male identified as 
O5- . [DATA EXPUNGED] 
Large steel slab, the front 
face of which appeared to fit 
the dimensions of the 
doorway perfectly. The slab 
displayed the logo of the 
Foundation. 16 seconds into 
the instance, copious 
amounts of blood began to 
drip downward from the top 
of the object from an 
unknown source. It 
continued to pour until the 
slab was no longer visible, 
with liquid welling up at the 
unseen barrier. At 0:52 of 
the instance, the slab and 
an immense amount of 


blood (almost the entire 
volume of the trailer) 
launched out of SCP-2590, 
travelling toward observing 
agents Inglis and Schultz at 
a speed of approximately 
190 kilometers per hour. Six 
members of MTF 
Gamma-133 "Street 
Sweepers" were deployed 
to the scene to investigate 
and initiate cleanup efforts. 
Inglis and Schultz were 
pronounced dead at the 
scene. A two kilometre 
perimeter in every direction 
was established, and Class- 
A amnestics were 
administered to individuals 
within it. 


Addendum A: 


Subsequent DNA tests on the blood ejected from 
SCP-2590 have indicated it to be roughly 50% Inglis' and 
50% Schultz's. The steel slab, which was undamaged 
from the collision with the agents’ vehicle, has been 
taken into Foundation custody for lab analysis. 


+ Incident 2590-3 


On 04/12/2011 at approximately 0315 hours, SCP-2590 
travelled to the location of an abandoned warehouse, 
where its tracking beacon ceased operation. Eight 
members of MTF Gamma-133 (henceforth referred to as 
Alpha Squad) were dispatched to the warehouse. Inside, 
SCP-2590 was found travelling at low speed deeper into 
the building. 


Two members of Alpha Squad were left outside to keep 
watch. Radio contact was maintained with Alpha Squad 


Leader during the investigation. The following is a log of 
communications between Alpha Squad Leader and the 
Mobile Task Force Commander of Gamma-133: 


0319 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "Alright, we 
are inside the building. We have a visual on 
SCP-2590." 


0319 Hours MTFC Gamma-133: "Anything 
unusual inside?" 


0319 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "Nothing 
we can see so far, it just looks like a plain 
abandoned warehouse. Update, the skip has 
started moving away from us, looks like it's 
headed away from the entrance." 


0320 Hours MTFC Gamma-133: "Alpha 
Squad, follow the target. Find out where it's 


going." 


0321 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "It's going 
slowly enough that we can keep up on foot. It's 
headed toward what looks like a service tunnel 
or sewer of some sort." 


0321 Hours MTFC Gamma-133: "Stay alert." 


0334 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "It's getting 
dark down here. Alpha Squad, turn on your 
headlamps." 


0334 Hours MTFC Gamma-133: "How bad is 
the visibility?" 


0334 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "Can't see 
a fucking thing, maybe 10, 15 metres ahead at 
best. This tunnel just keeps going and going. 
It's headed downhill now. Thatcher, how far 
has it been?" 


0334 Hours [Another voice can be heard] 


0334 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "We've 
covered about 200 metres. Nothing else to 
report." 


0417 Hours [The sound of SCP-2590's trailer 
door opening can be heard] 


0417 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "The skip's 
trailer door is opening, | repeat, target's trailer 
door is opening." 


0417 Hours MTFC Gamma-133: "What do you 
see?" 


0417 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "Uh... one 
second... it's a big sheet of what looks like 
parchment. It says 'I'm just delivering a 
message’.” 

0417 Hours MTFC Gamma-133: "Is there 
anything else?" 


0417 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "Nothing. 
Just the parchment and text." 


0417 Hours MTFC Gammaz-133: "Alpha 
Squad, proceed with caution." 


0418 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "Aye. 
We've descended about a kilometre now, we 
still haven't seen the end to this thing." 


[Note that this is geographically impossible, as 
the warehouse is overlooking a cliff.] 


0419 Hours MTFC Gamma-133: "Alpha 
Squad, be advised you are continuing into a 


strong as any other example would suggest, and a force that would 
normally bend or cut through steel will do the same to SCP-291. 
Such testing is currently not allowed due to the risk of damaging 
SCP-291. 


The interior of SCP-291 is not well-explored due to the extremely 
tight confines of the machinery and strong pulses of electromagnetic 
energy through various points while activated. 


When connected to a suitable power source, SCP-291 activates with 
mechanical clanks and buzzing, and the entryway door springs 
open. The room inside is 4 m x 2 m, with a rather simple console 
board, a large display screen, and what has been described as a 
Plexiglas ‘coffin’ to one side, suitable in size for most humans under 
2.13 m (7 ft) in height who are not morbidly obese. The 'coffin' rests 
on a conveyor belt a meter in height, the coffin itself being 
approximately a meter deep with a blue-green gel ‘cushion’ of 
unidentified material lining the bottom. It has been described as 
pleasantly form-fitting and very cool and soft. Several tubes emerge 
from the side of the room over the coffin. 


Opposite the coffin, a number of 'cubbyholes' of various sizes with 
small doors that may be opened or closed are present on the wall. 
Their purpose shall be elaborated upon later. 


When a living person or animal is laid in the coffin (dead organisms, 
organisms with a mass of less than 1.6 kilograms, and groups of 
multiple organisms triggered no reaction), no matter their position, 
the control room moves into the 'ready' state. In this state, the 
display screen shows a scanned, grid-lined image of the organism in 
the coffin, and the buttons on the console board become operable. 
Some of the smaller buttons will trigger different effects in the 
displayed image, such as toggling the 'skin' and 'muscles' of the 
display on and off, and revealing certain organs and organ systems, 
whether in real-time or frozen depending upon more settings. There 
are no words, numbers, or symbols on the display or any of the 
buttons, and all buttons have two settings: ‘On’, in which they glow, 
and 'Off’, in which they are unlit. Various combinations produce 
different effects, and Dr. Rights has been kind enough to spend 
enough time "playing with it" to work up a crude user's manual. 
Three large buttons, visibly different from the controls for the display, 


confirmed spatial anomaly. That tunnel 
shouldn't be there. If anything particularly 
unusual happens, pull out of there 
immediately.” 


0419 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: 
"Affirmative." 


0423 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "The air is 
bad down here. We are detecting higher levels 
of carbon monoxide, though that may be 
[unintelligible]" 


0423 Hours [Radio reception with Alpha Squad 
Leader degrades sharply at this point] 


0423 Hours MTFC Gamma-133: "Squad 
Leader, do you read me? We are losing you.” 


0423 Hours Alpha Squad Leader: "Yes we 
seem to be [unintelligible] interference, please 
[unintelligible]" 


0424 Hours MTFC Gamma-133: "Squad 
Leader, come in. Squad Leader, please 
respond." 


0424 Hours [No response] 
0424 Hours MTFC Gamma-133: "Dammit." 


0429 Hours [Radio contact terminated on 
Alpha Squad's side] 


The channel remained open for an additional six hours, 
after which the two guarding agents were recalled to 
MTF Gamma-133 base, and Alpha Squad was declared 
MIA. 


On 11/03/2015, radio contact was made on Alpha Squad 


Leader's transponder once again. The following are the 
communication logs from when radio contact was re- 
established: 


Alpha Squad Leader: "Come in MTFC. | 
repeat, come in MTFC. This is Alpha Squad 
Leader, do you copy?" 


MTFC Gamma-133: "Who is this? How did 
you get this comm channel?" 


Alpha Squad Leader: "Uh... this is Alpha 
Squad Leader. We lost communication with 
you there for a few minutes." 


MTFC Gamma-133: "State your full name and 


rank, soldier." 

Alpha Squad Leader: " , Staff 
Sergeant, MTF Gamma-133. What's going on 
sir?" 


[MTFC searching database] 


MTFC Gamma-133: "Alpha Squad Leader, 
you and your squad have been MIA for almost 
three and a half years. I'd say you have some 
explaining to do." 


Alpha Squad Leader: "Sir? We were pursuing 
SCP-2590 when we lost radio contact with 
you. We couldn't go any further because of the 
carbon monoxide, so we turned back to re- 
establish communication. We weren't gone 
longer than 15 minutes." 


MTFC Gamma-133: "Fuck... were you able to 
collect further intel on SCP-2590?" 


Alpha Squad Leader: "Negative. Once we 


turned back, the skip just kept going, like it 
knew we weren't coming with it.” 


MTFC Gamma-133: "Very good, Alpha 
Squad. You can come home now." 


Addendum B: 


The report from Alpha Squad Leader confirmed the 
warehouse to contain a temporal and spatial anomaly. 
The building has been purchased by a Foundation front 
company to prevent civilian access. SCP-2590 was 
tracked exiting the warehouse approximately 5 minutes 
after Alpha Squad was recalled to MTF Gamma-133 
base.

SCP-2591: Il duca avra la vendetta 


Item #: SCP-2591 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2591 is to be kept in a 
standard humanoid containment cell at Site-25. 


Personnel in charge of SCP-2591 are to be trained in the use of 
small firearms. In the event that SCP-2591 expresses the desire to 
self-terminate, containment staff are to offer assistance and shoot 
SCP-2591 once in the forehead. All staff are advised that these 
incidents have occurred [REDACTED] times in the past month with 
no ill effects on the overall health of SCP-2591, and that execution 
of this request will extend cooperation on the part of SCP-2591. 


As an incentive for good behavior, SCP-2591 may be provided tap 
water in a plastic wine glass, and if questioned, is to be informed 
that the water is actually an aged Merlot from the vineyards of "St. 
Augustine's Convent in the southern peninsula of Apostasia." Due to 
sensory issues inherent with its condition, SCP-2591 will believe this 
to be true. 


SCP-2591-Omega is to remain on standby mode indefinitely in a 
maximum-security containment vault at Site-25. All readings are to 
be constantly monitored and submitted to Project Bifrost staff. 


Description: SCP-2591 is an animate human cadaver, possessing 
a regenerative ability to extend life. As a result of this regeneration, 
SCP-2591's skin condition mimics the effects of mummification. It is 
estimated that SCP-2591 has been alive since the thirteenth century 
CE. 


Though decay has resulted in diminished sensory capabilities, 
SCP-2591 can move, displays advanced intelligence, and is fluent in 
Italian, English, and French.! It will answer to the name Riccardo 


and claims to be the duke of the (historically nonexistent) Papal 
State of Apostasia. 


SCP-2591 appears to be in a near-constant state of emotional 
distress brought about by events earlier in its life, and will frequently 
express the desire to commit suicide. Following a suicide attempt, 
SCP-2591's wounds will recover and it will awaken in a state of 
confusion. 


Interviewer: Dr. Isaiah Henderson 
Interviewed: SCP-2591 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Henderson: Good morning, SCP-2591, | hope you're 


SCP-2591: How can any one waking morn embody 
virtue / when my heart has been conquered, then 
trampled by basest cruelty / leaving me to pine in 
solitude! 


Dr. Henderson: Please discontinue singing. 


SCP-2591: My apologies, 'tis but reflex. What is on 
today's itinerary? 


Dr. Henderson: Nothing out of the ordinary, I'm afraid. 
I've come to ask you some more questions about your 
life history. 


SCP-2591: Then speak, | pray you, lest wanton fallen 
angels close the gates of thy mouth for— 


Dr. Henderson: When we last met, we covered your 
brother's seduction of your bride, Giulietta. What 
happened after that? 


SCP-2591: Remind me not of that dreadful day! | 
confronted my dearest Giulietta to assuage her of the 
rakish devilry with which Count Pietro had so stained her 
virgin heart. Alas, she tore my soul from the cockles of 


my [redacted for brevity] 
Dr. Henderson: Please move on. 
SCP-2591: Pardon? 


Dr. Henderson: Nothing. Sorry, just— Just go on. 
Giulietta broke your heart. Then what? 


SCP-2591: If you so insist, | shall strive forth to close this 
dreadful chapter of the wrongly paginated dictionary of 
my immortal soul. As | fell onto my aching knees and 
plead unto her for to see salvation in [redacted for 
brevity] 


Dr. Henderson: You begged her to take you back, then 
what. 


SCP-2591: Then, like a tempest of bladed autumn 
leaves soaked in the blood of baptized orphans, Count 
Pietro ran into the courtyard as | [redacted for brevity] 


Dr. Henderson: What did Count Pietro do? 


SCP-2591: The villain, believing that her heart had once 
again become mine, he drew his damnable hellspike of a 
sword and pierced her heart ere she could be saved by 
my [redacted for brevity] 


Dr. Henderson: So he killed Giulietta. Then what? 


SCP-2591: My eyes became as painted dragons of 
justice in the alphabet picture books of hell! In 
vengeance for my forever-and-always bride, | drew my 
rapier in turn, and with a cry of "Justice for my fallen 
beloved, Mother Mary, prithee, if | win, may she yet be 
taken to Elysium!" I— 


[SCP-2591 hesitates.] 


Dr. Henderson: You killed Count Pietro? 


SCP-2591: Nay. Neither did the foul rake kill me. 
Dr. Henderson: What did you do?
