The families of instances of SCP-2650-1 have been supplied with 
Cover Story 35-lota (Kidnapping & Murder). All external containment 
efforts are currently focused around suppressing news media 
involving SCP-2650-B or any instance of SCP-2650-1. 


Description: SCP-2650-A is a ventriloquist's dummy of unknown 
brand and make, with a tan-colored face, blue eyes, and red 
markings on its cheeks. SCP-2650-A is dressed in generic red 
gloves, blue jeans, and a plaid, red-and-green sweater with a center 
pocket. A fake monocle is clipped to SCP-2650-A's left eye, anda 
blue plastic top hat rests upon its head. The top hat can be 
removed, revealing a hinge plate that can be opened to reveal the 
cranial area. Within SCP-2650-A's cranial area is a human brain and 
brainstem assumed to belong to SCP-2650-B. Proposals to remove 


and more closely study the brain have been forbidden out of 
concern that removal will irreparably damage SCP-2650-A and -B. 
The brain has not shown any signs of decay since initial 
containment. 


SCP-2650-B is the body of former ventriloquist and magician 

. SCP-2650-B is biologically normal, but has a wooden sphere 
approximately 25 centimeters in diameter within its skull in place of a 
brain. SCP-2650-B perpetually holds SCP-2650-A with its left hand. 
Despite lacking a brain and brainstem, all life functions of 
SCP-2650-B proceed normally, and it is able to speak, breathe, eat, 
and move. The only major differences between it and a live human 
is that SCP-2650-B neither appears to feel pain, nor has its body 
aged or decayed in the years it has been contained. SCP-2650-B 
refuses to release SCP-2650-A from its grasp, and only 
communicates through SCP-2650-A. 


Normally, SCP-2650-B will sit cross-legged in the center of the cell, 
usually asleep but occasionally conversing with itself through 
SCP-2650-A. If a person passes within two meters of SCP-2650-B's 
line of sight while it is awake, it will invite them to watch it perform. 
During a performance, SCP-2650-B will engage in a discussion with 
SCP-2650-A. The performance utilizes crude humor, magic tricks, 
and other acts geared towards preadolescents, although it focuses 
on more adult themes such as coping with mental illness, abusive 
relationships, or drug abuse with the occasional adult joke. 


Following a performance, if there are preadolescents in the 
audience, SCP-2650-B will ask one at random if they would like to 
learn ventriloquism. If it receives a positive answer, SCP-2650-B will 
escort the child to a secluded area. If followed by an adult, 
SCP-2650-B will simply produce a nonanomalous ventriloquist 
dummy from its pocket, give the child a short lesson on 
ventriloquism, then let the child leave with the ventriloquist dummy. 
If alone, SCP-2650-B will convert the child into an instance of 
SCP-2650-1. The mechanism of conversion is unknown. 


Instances of SCP-2650-1 are various preadolescent children, 
between the ages of 5 and 9, with their own instances of SCP-2650- 
A. They share the same neurological abnormality as SCP-2650-B, 
but their behavior is markedly different. Instances of SCP-2650-1 


initially show no difference in their normal behavior, except for 
occasionally practicing ventriloquism. As time goes by, instances of 
SCP-2650-1 will communicate more frequently through their 
dummies. Eventually, they will cease to speak by themselves, only 
speaking through the dummies. This is the only behavioral change 
made by instances of SCP-2650-1, who will otherwise act like 
nonanomalous preadolescents. 


Addendum: Incident-2650-1 Prior to Incident 2650-1, all instances 
of SCP-2650-1 were unruly, frequently attempting to damage 
furnishings within their cells, making loud requests for their 
immediate family, and necessitating the implementation of 
deterrence protocols. On / / , security footage showed SCP-2650- 
B standing up and looking at the security camera. It then proceeded 
to converse with SCP-2650-A, while keeping eye contact on the 
camera. During the conversation, all instances of SCP-2650-1 
immediately ceased other activities to sit on their beds and stare at 
the security camera in their cells. 


Audio Log SCP-2650-B 

For the sake of brevity, whenever SCP-2650-B speaks 
through SCP-2650-A, it is referred to as SCP-2650-A. 
10:30 SCP-2650-A: Gee __, I'm so bored here. We've 
been grounded for practically ever! And I'm starting to 
think the hotel owners don't like us! 


10:31 SCP-2650-B: | know it's boring Willy, but you're a 
big boy now. You're all big boys and girls. You need to 
be patient sometimes. Patience is the greatest virtue of 
all! 


SCP-2650-B begins to engage in a series of jerky 
movements, flailing its limbs while thrashing back and 
forth, while singing in a low voice. 


10:32 SCP-2650-B: Patience is the best! You can wait 
for all the rest. There's always time to make a rhyme. But 
sitting quietly isn't a crime... All you have to do is sit and 
smell the roses. It isn't like you have a form of halitosis. 
Patience is the best! You can wait for all the rest! Sit 
down and wait your turn. If you do you won't be spurned. 


Relax, kick back, don't have a heart attack! Patience is 
the best! You can wait for all the rest! 


SCP-2650-B ceases its movements, but continues to 
stand. 


10:35 SCP-2650-A: You're right, |! 1 can see what you 
mean about patience. But ya know, | feel like our 
wonderful little ventriloquists have been patient for a 
really long time. It's been years and years. 


10:36 SCP-2650-B: That's true, Willy. But they must be 
patient for a little longer. I'm asking them, from the 
bottom of my heart, to be patient just a little longer. And 
for all I've done for them, I'm sure they won't mind 
waiting. 


10:37 SCP-2650-A: We're getting antsy. It's been years 
and years and we're practically grounded in here. | 
haven't seen my girl in ages! 


10:38 SCP-2650-B: You looked at your hand five 
minutes ago! 


SCP-2650-A and -B laugh for ten seconds. SCP-2650-B 
appears to use circular breathing to provide the illusion 
that they are laughing simultaneously. 


10:38 SCP-2650-B: But I'm serious. Please, everyone, 
listen to me. You know | love you. | certainly love you 
more than your parents! You know what would have 
happened if | hadn't rescued you all? They would have 
taken away your best friends! Zara, Peppy, Abby, 
Jerome, Walt, Kenzie, all of them! Your parents would 
have gotten rid of them, and then they would have gotten 
rid of you! 


10:40 SCP-2650-A: What! Why would our families ever 
do that! 


10:40 SCP-2650-B: Because they think your friendship 


Articles 300-399 


is weird or strange! And if there's one thing parents love 
above all else, it's normal! If there's anything they see 
that isn't... normal... they get rid of it. You see? We have 
to stay here for now, while | find us a new place to live. 
Because if we go back, they'll separate us. And | love 
you too much to let them do that. And | know you love 
your friends too much to let them do that. 


10:42 SCP-2650-A: If they're too silly to recognize our 
friendship, then I'm certainly never going back! If my 
parents can't understand that you're my best friend, then 
phooey to them! I'll stay here as long as | have to. 
Because you're my friend, __. And if you don't have your 
friends, then what do you have? 


10:44 SCP-2650-B: Nothing, Willy. You have nothing. 
So, please be patient, my little ventriloquists. | promise 
you that we will find a place where good little boys, good 
little girls, and their good little friends can live without 
anybody trying to take them away. And that is a pinky 
promise. 


10:45 SCP-2650-A: Pinky promise? 
10:46 SCP-2650-B: Pinky promise. 


Following this, SCP-2650-A wrapped its finger around 
SCP-2650-B's finger. Notably, SCP-2650-B did not seem 
to control this action. SCP-2650-B then sat down and 
appeared to fall asleep. 


Since Incident-2650-1, all instances of SCP-2650-1 have been 
noticeably more subdued, and Deterrence Device activation rates 
have been reduced by 65 percent.

SCP-2651: Gazing Upon a Failed Future 


Item #: SCP-2651 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2651-A is to be placed in 
a hemispherical recess in a containment chamber at Lunar 
Area-32. This chamber will be outfitted with two Kardec Counters", 
security cameras, and a microphone. The devices will be checked 
on a weekly basis, with repairs being made if necessary. If any 
equipment becomes irreparable, it must be requested to be part of 
the next scheduled supply delivery. Drains and a sprinkler system 
will be built into the chamber to remove any bodily fluids released by 
SCP-2651-B instances and SCP-2651-C. Once removed the fluids 
will be stored in biohazard storage tanks for analysis or will be 
disposed. 


All observed 2651-SKIA Events have been performed identically. 
However, if any discrepancies are observed, these must be 
recorded and reported to Level 3/2651 personnel. 


Description: SCP-2651 is the collective designation for a metal 
sphere (SCP-2651-A) surrounded by a set of ectoplasmic entities? 
of extraterrestrial origin (GCP-2651-B and SCP-2651-C). 


SCP-2651-A is composed of a rhodium-platinum alloy, possessing a 
radius of 71.7cm. The sphere depicts a landscape resembling 
current models of Earth's geography during the late Neoproterozoic 
Era3, with the outlines of continents and islands engraved on the 
surface. Notable deviations from the models are three circular 
islands off the west coast of the minor supercontinent Proto- 
Laurasia and a ring-shaped lake on the East Antarctic Shield. The 
circular islands, the lake, and several other locations on the globe 
have what appears to be a stylized rendition of SCP-2651-B 
instances on them (Pictogram 1). Electrical hums and other 
mechanical noises emanate from SCP-2651-A, indicating an interior 


structure, though the globe's outer surface has blocked sonar 
imaging attempts. 


SCP-2651-B1 through SCP-2651-B10 float in a circular pattern 
around SCP-2651-A, at a distance of approximately 1m. Limitations 
with Kardec Counters prevent a full analysis of the anatomy of 
SCP-2651-B instances, though general details have been 
ascertained: 


¢ Each entity has a 1m tall upright conical body, with the main 

body and each limb segmented in a manner similar to 

arthropods. The body is divided into three sections. 

Connected to the base of the body are four legs ending in 

circular feet. 

On the body's midsection are six tendrils, each 3m long and 

ending in a claw. 

¢ Four conical protrusions are on the top of the body, likely a 
form of sensory organ. 

* Aset of mandibles are on the bottom of the cone. 


SCP-2651-B7 is the only entity to possess numerous apparent 
tumorous growths on its body. 


Aside from movement around SCP-2651-A, the entities are largely 
inactive when not experiencing a 2651-SKIA Event. Normal activity 
consists of repeated convulsions, spasms of the limbs, and erratic 
mandible clicks. The only instance to not behave in this manner is 
SCP-2651-B7, which is motionless and limp. 


SCP-2651-C floats approximately 1m above SCP-2651-A. The body 
is similar to that of SCP-2651-B, though the top body section is 
replaced with a large spherical object. This "head" sphere frequently 
changes its shape, denting to form symbols from a dialect of the 
Ortothan Extraterrestrial Language (OEL)4 and creating patterns of 
holes that can vocalize. When not experiencing a 2651-SKIA Event, 
SCP-2651-C behaves the same way as SCP-2651-B instances. 
Frequently the phrases "myself failed" and "myself knew not" 
manifest on the sphere. 


Seven times a year a 2651-SKIA Event will occur, in which 
SCP-2651-B instances and SCP-2651-C will reenact a ritual. This 


ritual is presumed to have been initially performed in the far past, 
during the creation of SCP-2651, though details on the event are 
lacking. Refer to the addendum for further information. 


Discovery: SCP-2651 was accidentally discovered on 13- 
February-2017 during the construction of the Area 13-32 Transit 
System. The boring machine in use was shut down when miners 
created an entrance to a previously unknown large cavern, 
hemispherical in shape (radius of ~35m). Signs of anomalous 
activity were reported, and Mobile Task Force Gamma-4 
("Blondebeard's Crew") was dispatched for preliminary containment. 


At the time of discovery the cavern floor was covered in a 2m high 
slurry of organic matter and a pink blood-like fluid (hereafter referred 
to as haemorozin), likely having built up from repeated 2651-SKIA 
Events since the anomaly's creation. SCP-2651-A had been placed 
on a metal pedestal and was partially submerged in the fluids. 
Surrounding the pedestal were seven statues resembling 
SCP-2651-B instances, built from a black metal. Of note is that the 
number of tendrils on each statue ranged from one to seven. A 
smaller globe depicting the surface of the moon was also found, 
engraved with Pictogram 1 on multiple sections. 


The area was then drained, uncovering pieces of blue-green colored 
exoskeletons similar to the apparent exoskeletons on SCP-2651-B 
and SCP-2651-C. Puncture wounds, damage consistent with blunt 
force trauma, and embedded bullet-shaped objects were present on 
many pieces. Mechanical devices resembling guns, engraved with 
unidentified thaumaturgic runes, were also found in varying 
damaged states. 


Placed next to SCP-2651-A was AO-2651-1, a 2m8 explosive 
device. Within the device is a cylindrical capsule constructed from a 
type of exotic matter, determined with technology recovered 
from SCP-2722 to contain 10g of liquid antimatter. After receiving 
a signal, a mechanism would break this case and cause the liquid to 
undergo matter/antimatter annihilation with all matter in the 
surrounding region, creating a violent explosion that would likely 
destroy all objects in the cavern. The mechanism appears to have 
been in the process of breaking the case, though large amounts of 
dried organic matter had entered the device and halted the process. 


Attached to two adjacent statues is a long diagonal structure, 
composed of chunks of blue-green exoskeleton and solidified 
material resembling muscle tissues. The structure forms the 
following sentence in OEL: 


[Unknown Symbol 16] helping. The Holies® receive the 
blood. [Unknown Symbol 16] bleeds (forever?). 


At the top of a slope within the cavern is an entrance to a 20m long 
tunnel. Apparent entrances to other chambers are present along the 
sides of the tunnel, though all were blocked from cave-ins and black 
metal barriers. At the end of the tunnel is a room meant to serve as 
an airlock, left nonfunctional by explosion damage that had broken 
the pressurization systems. On the other side of the airlock is a 
mechanical lift that leads up a 3km shaft to a metal hatch. Based on 
the location of the transit system tunnel, task force agents were able 
to locate the hatch on the lunar surface, which had been covered in 
a layer of sediment and was welded shut. A metal plaque is 
attached to it, possessing OEL sentences in diagonal line patterns: 


Message of [Pictogram 1] Holy Defense Legion 


[Unknown Yellow Symbol] hazards. The not-god(?) lied 
here. Entrance is treason to the Koru-teusa and the 
Fourth World. Warrants [Unknown Symbol 22]- 
absorption death. 


On 19-February-2017, SCP-2651 and AO-2651-1 were brought into 
containment at Lunar Area-32. Construction was resumed the 
following day, with the course of the tunnel altered to prevent 
potential damage to the cavern.
