"So Mike, this D-Class told me she doesn't think the suicide is an 
anomalous effect of working with the chicken. What about you?" 


"Oh man, | would be thrilled to know that. These anomalies, you 
never know what they're gonna do though, you know? Like the pen 
that you click and people you love die? How do they catch that 
stuff?" 


"You notice anything weird around the 404 chicken? Besides the 


obvious." 


"Well, yeah, for starters it's like a chicken that isn't there. Gives yaa 
headache if you stare at it too long. | try not to look at it longer than | 
have to." 


"How long you been assigned here to guard it?" 


"Only recently, about a month or so. Pretty cushy job, safe class, 
doesn't kill people. Well, usually doesn't kill people. But hopefully it's 
nothing and | can stay here." 


"You know the personnel as well? You know I'm just doing my job 
here, roughing up the D-Class to make sure she isn't hiding 
something." 


"| get it, no worries. Clara can be a bitch. Really, you'd think people 
assigned to something like an endless supply of chicken wings 
would be more relaxed. Even Dan was a real tight ass about it."

"Feeling any better? You hear about the guy who killed himself? I'm 
Clara by the way." 
Your head is still pounding but you've got an investigation still to do. 


"Yeah-yeah. | uh, what do know about him? Do you think it- uh, was 
it an anomalous property of SCP thirty sixty- six-" 


"SCP-3620. But we just call her Spongy.” 
"Spongy?" 


"Like DATA EXPUNGED! Like you guys do with some of the more, 
eh, messy critters?" 


"Good to know. Uh, | wanted to know if- there's not a chance that | 


just um, this chicken doesn't fry your brain or something does it?" 


"Nah, Spongy isn't easy on the eyes, but she doesn't have magical 
mind rays that make you want to kill yourself. You're fine." 


"Glad to hear. | uh, I'm investigating what happened to Dan. Did you 
know him?" 


"Worked with him a little, but he was still pretty new. I've been on 
this assignment for a while now. Usually pretty low key, the new staff 
was assigned when they decided to start seeing if she could be 
farmed as a renewable food source. Him and Mike came on about 
the same time." 


"Mike is?" 


"Mike the security guard. He's usually here outside the containment 
area to watch things, but | guess he's off today. He's a bit of a sleazy 
dude so I'm kind of glad."

Leaving the containment area, your head is still pounding. Maybe 
you get used to it? That D-Class woman didn't seem bothered by it 
in the slightest. 


Arriving at Dr. F 's office you runinto Dr. M gathering some 
paperwork into a folder. 


"Agent R , uh, internal review committee. Are you, you're Dr. 
M_ ,! presume?" 


"Yes, quite. Sorry | can get out of your way if you need access to 
anything here." 


"|'m- I'd actually like to ask you a few questions about Mr. F if 
you have a minute." 


"Well, | can tell you he'd get pissed off at you calling him "mister" 
instead of "doctor". 


"My apologies. Right. What can you tell me about the late Dr. 
F 2 


"He was pretty new to the team — pretty fresh out of grad school, in 
fact — and this was his first assignment here. We were working on 
seeing if Spongy could-" 


"Spongy?" 


Your headache makes it a bit hard to follow along, but it seems they 
were looking into testing if SCP3620, "Spongy" could be used to 
farm more chicken meat per day. Something concerning the 
conservation of mass and an embarrassing XK scenario. Dr.M__ is 
happy to answer all your questions, though they seem to notice 
you're having a hard time focusing. 


"Are you alright Agent?" 


"Yeah, | um, | just got hit really hard with this headache after seeing 
eh, Spongy for the first time." 


"Oh! Yes! That is interesting. Do you mind if | take a look real quick? 
Most report mild headaches, but you seem quite unwell. Here, allow 
me to escort you to the infirmary, we can lock the office behind us 

and you can continue your investigation after we've run some tests."

"Well uh, that's going to be tricky... You see, the tapes from 
yesterday, they were corrupted. Must have been memetic or 
something." 


"You think it's an anomalous effect of the chicken?" 


"Must have been! It's really freaking me out. Guess I'm just lucky the 
files were corrupted, otherwise | might have been exposed to the 
same anomaly, right? You'd be investigating two suicides maybe! 
Dan's and mine!"

"Agent R , internal review committee, mind if | ask you a few 
questions?" 


Tucking her clipboard under her arm, the D-Class personnel walks 
over to you. Wearing the standard orange jumpsuit, she's a little 
shorter than you but not by much. 


"Sure, what can | do you for boss? You here about Dan's death?" 
"That's what I'm investigating. Did you know him??" 


"Not especially well. He was new. Mostly kept to the other 
researchers or to himself." 


"Did he seem like anything was wrong with him? Last time you saw 
him, or any time before that?" 


"No, can't say that | did. Guy seemed quiet, maybe a bit too serious, 
but nothing dramatic. Seemed like a smart guy, he and Dr. M 

were working on increasing the feed density so they could gather 
more meat from Spongy. I'd heard they were making progress." 


"I'm sorry, I'm not following. Feed density? Spongy?" 


"Spongy? The Expunged Chicken? That's our nickname for her. 
She's like a chicken that isn't there. Just looking at where she should 
be, you just see the white square running around."

SCP-977: The Security Station 


Item #: SCP-977 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Access to the SCP-977 site has 
been restricted on the basis of ongoing asbestos removal and 
renovation. The site is to be secured by guards in standard 

security company cover uniforms, with concealed armament. No 
fewer than three Foundation staff members are to be present on site 
at any time while research is being conducted. Personnel entering or 
leaving the building are required to don breathing masks and 
standard safety clothing to prevent suspicion. 


The security cameras already existent in the building have been 
modified to link to SCP Foundation servers. Footage is automatically 
backed up every two hours both to local hard-drives and to off-site 
storage. Any developments are to be reported to site overseer Dr. 

. Access to video recordings, research and logs may be 
granted by personnel with level 4 security clearance or higher. 


Addendum: Following incident 977-I-1, all staff must be escorted by 
at least one other staff member or member of security personnel at 
all times while on the SCP-977 site. Failure to follow these 
procedures will result in reprimands, including (but are not limited to) 
demotion of security level, loss of privileges, and denial of leave. 
Object class has been upgraded to Euclid. 


Description: SCP-977 is a warehouse located in an industrial 
district in ; . The warehouse was brought to the 
Foundation's attention after it was declared abandoned in __, and 
reports of its unusual properties intercepted. The Foundation 
subsequently purchased the building, designating it Site , and 
these reports were suppressed. Records state that the warehouse 
was constructed in —_ and, prior to being purchased by the 
company, was owned by several companies including 


seems to strut and peck around the food trough. The other chickens 
seem wary of it, but otherwise, don't mind it. The D-Class looks over 
her shoulder at Spongy as well. 


"She's really something. Basically, an endless supply of chicken, if 
you can figure out which end is which before you start chopping! 
Just got to be careful you put the correct amount into her as you 
take out!"

A D-Class who's been around the block and seems to know her 
SCPs is a handy resource. 


You make your way over to Dr. F 's office and there you meet 
Dr. M_ . Looking around the office, you wouldn't have known the 
body of the previous owner had been found here just hours ago. 


"Dr.M_ , what can you tell me about Mr. F 2" 


"Well, | can tell you he'd get pissed off at you calling him "mister" 
F oy 


"My apologies to the late doctor then. Pretty proud of his degree?" 


"I'd say! Thought he was definitely a bright lad, well, before all this. 
He was new to the team, new to the Foundation — fresh out of grad 
school you see — this was his first assignment. First time dealing 
with anything, anomalous. We were working on seeing if Spongy 
could, sorry SCP-3620-" 


"Spongy?" 


"Yeah, it's kind of a nickname we gave SCP-3620. Spongy. Short for 
‘Data Expunged'. | know we're supposed to stay detached, but it's 
hard when you work with one of the animate ones for years, and 
frankly, 'SCP-3620' is a bit of a mouthful.” 


"Noted, but please continue." 


"She's genetically a normal chicken, so when you cut off a wing or 
whatever, and it's the same as any old chicken meat. Her physical 
properties cause a new part to pop right back into existence no 
matter how much we chop off. We try to keep things balanced 
though. "Wanted bbq wings so bad we threw off Earth's mass off 
and right out of orbit" would be one of the more embarrassing XKs 
to cause, you know?" 


Trying to keep him on topic, you press him about the anomalous 
properties of SCP-3620, if he thought this could have been caused 
by some unknown memetic effect or something. 


"| do not. At least, not like a memetic or telepathic effect. This is the 
first time anything like this has happened, in 35 years of 
containment. Ten of which have been under my watch! You tend to 
become a bit numb to the weirdness around here, but someone as 
new as Dan... Why | think it got to the boy. Messes with one's head 
when your worldview is cracked like that. Sometimes researchers 
are too smart, too proud, for their own good you see." 


Maybe More Testing Is The Answer - Click Tab 18 


SCP-3620 is likely at the bottom of this, these "safe" SCPs are rarely 
ever safe. 


Scrunitize The Security Footage- click Tab 09 


Devil is in the details, right? 
flavor 


Getting to the security booth, you access the footage from last night. 
Dr. M seems convinced Dr. F couldn't handle his worldview 
being shattered by SCP-3620, "Spongy the Data Expunged 
Chicken" and killed himself in his office. The cameras seem to back 
this up as he is seen leaving the containment area at the end of the 
day and heading back to his office where he is discovered. 


Something isn't right though, so you rewind back through the 
footage. Unfortunately, there is a lot of it and most of it is pretty 
boring. The days start blurring into weeks as you fast forward. A 
month reduced down to an hour or two of viewing. 


Finally, you find Dr. F 's first day on the job. He seemed nervous 


but excited, not unlike you when you first started working for the 
Foundation. 


File Your Report - click Tab 36 
A few more days of investigating any loose ends, but this one might 
be pretty open and shut. 


You find Dr. M__ back at the containment area, talking with the D- 
Class personnel from earlier. Neither seems overly happy to see you 
and Clara goes back to managing the chickens when you approach. 
Dr.M greets you, though indifferently. 


"Are you Dr. M_ ? Can you tell us about Mr. F ?" 


"Well, | can tell you he'd get pissed off at you calling him "mister" 


instead of "doctor". 


"My apologies, Dr. F AY 

"He was pretty new to the team, this was his first assignment at the 
site. We were working to see if we could increase the amount of 
feed she was intaking in a day. You see, she's basically a normal 
chicken, all things considered. You can pull some meat off her and it 
acts the same as any other chicken breast, but you can keep going 
back for more and she stays the same." 


"And you don't think this has had anomalous side effects? Maybe 
from eating too much of it or cutting more and more off of it?” 


"Are you asking in regards to what happened to Dan?" 


"Could something like the feeding protocol have triggered an 
effect?" 


"It's unlikely. We're bringing in a few more D-class to try and 
recreate it, but nothing has caused a problem before now." 


"So in your opinion, do you feel Dr. F 's suicide was an 
anomalous effect created by SCP-3620?" 


"| do not. My theory is it's not like a memetic or telepathic effect. I've 


been studying this for three years now, and it's been in containment 
for thirty-five. This is the first time anything like this has happened. 
You tend to become a bit numb to the weirdness around here, but 
someone as new as Dan... We think of the Euclids and the Keters 
as the scary ones, so we forget that even quote-unquote-safe skips 
can destroy someone's whole worldview, you know?"

Your investigation is complete here. 


"Yeah, | just- just stared at the damn chicken error message too 
long." 


"Ah, that'll do it. Messed my head up pretty good the first time | saw 
it too. I'm real glad you guys are investigating this though. Really 
don't want to end up like Danny boy. Now that | take a look at ya, 
you don't look too good. Do you want to go lay down?" 


"I'm fine, it's just a headache, just probably need a little-" 


"Hey, no need to play the tough guy. This could be like what 
happened to Dan! I'll get ya to the infirmary and they'll make sure 
this isn't something anomalous or anything. Don't worry buddy, | got 
ya." 


Mike Helps You To The Infirmary - Click Tab 35 
You'll go get this checked out. 


Mike the Security Personnel is detained and further investigations 
are carried out into his activities while assigned to SCP-3620. 


It is uncovered that he had been accessing SCP-3620 after normal 
hours, collecting unauthorized chicken meat, and smuggling it off- 
site. Data recovery on the deleted security footage revealed no 
corruption and that Mike was attempting to destroy evidence of his 
involvement in junior researcher Dr. Daniel F 's death. 


The footage showed Mike accessing SCP-3620 after hours when 
Dr. Daniel enters the containment area and confronts him. Security 
Personnel Mike was interrupted before he could administer the 


injected paralytic to SCP-3620 and during the following struggle 
injected it into Dr. F instead. The footage then shows Security 
Personnel Mike dragging the body of Dr. F out of the 
containment area and towards the office. A document found on Dr. 
F 's office computer noted a discrepancy in SCP-3620's weight 
and output, with the last update minutes before the confrontation on 
the recovered footage.
