unidentified cave by the KGB as an experiment into group dynamics 
under severe stress. The prisoners were provided with a limited food 
supply and water but no light sources. After 5 days of relatively 
normal social functioning, the group descended into two warring 
factions, which eventually led to three further days of incoherent 
screaming, muttering, torture, rape and one forced abortion. On the 
final day of the experiment, the KGB researchers recorded some 
‘disturbing’ sounds over the concealed microphones, including 
screaming, pleading, vomiting and [REDACTED]. 


The caving team sent to observe the status of the prisoners 
discovered a large amount of decomposing human tissue in a 
liquefied state, with SCP-1227 having formed in the center of it, 
apparently in good physical and mental health, and failing to notice 
anything amiss with its new situation. The Foundation was notified 
and SCP-1227 was extracted from the USSR by Mobile Task Force 
Epsilon- . 


SCP-1227 appears to be a male figure bonded to the heavily 
disfigured bodies of nine people by a red web-like mass which has 
been confirmed to be SCP-1227’s own muscles, and tube-like 
extrusions confirmed to be heavily developed extrusions of 
SCP-1227's own respiratory and digestive tracts. Experimentation 
has demonstrated that physical contact with SCP-1227 will lead to 
this bonding process being initiated. Firstly, the victim will fall into a 
coma-like state, whatever part of the body that contacted the 
creature becoming fused there. Then, SCP-1227 will permanently 
bond the victim’s body to its own by extruding its own blood vessels 
and nerves into the victim’s body. Finally, SCP-1227 will take control 
of one or more of the victim’s vital systems by assimilating that 
system into its own with its own nerves/blood vessels/intestines. Any 
part of the victim not associated with this system will lose blood flow 
and eventually drop off. SCP-1227 will feed any limbs that drop off 
into the beginning of its extended digestive tract, a hole in the chest 
of SCP-1227-D. The heart is always kept alive to pump blood 
around the vastly extended body. Although SCP-1227 does not 
seem to harbor ill will towards human beings to any major extent, it 
wields no control over this ability, hence the 'safe-zone' protocol. 


Experimental data suggest that this combination of multiple organ 


systems has greatly increased SCP-1227's biological efficiency, 
allowing it to survive on extremely limited resources. One observed 
effect is that SCP-1227's urinary tract is now three times longer than 
normal and so efficient that SCP-1227-F is now observed to deposit 
roughly 60g of concentrated urine every three years, which analysis 
has demonstrated to be 99.9% pure urea. SCP-1227-A and 
SCP-1227-C have had their respiratory tracts connected into 
SCP-1227's lungs, meaning that he can process air so effectively 
that SCP-1227 can survive for a duration of up to six months ina 
complete vacuum, at the cost of falling into a hibernation-like state. 
A full breakdown of SCP-1227’s bodily systems follows: 


(Unless stated otherwise, all victims are USSR political prisoners) 


SCP-1227-A: Unidentified male. Connected to SCP-1227 by 1.5 
meters of esophagus/blood vessels. Legs have been removed. 
Arms still mobile, used to propel SCP-1227’s mass. 

SCP-1227-B: Unidentified female. Connected to SCP-1227's back 
by extruded muscle. Only trunk and head remain, all other limbs 
removed. Her womb has [DATA REDACTED]. Pupils will contract in 
response to high intensity light sources. 

SCP-1227-C: Unidentified male. Connected to SCP-1227 by 0.8 
meters of esophagus/blood vessels. All limbs have been removed. 
Mouth will occasionally gape widely, for unknown reasons. 
SCP-1227-D: KGB researcher . Connected to SCP-1227 by 0.5 
meters of intestines. Head and limbs have been removed. Serves as 
beginning of digestive tract; all food is placed directly into the 
stomach via hole in the chest. 

SCP-1227-E: Aleksey —__. Connected to SCP-1227 by extruded 
muscle. Only the head, trunk and legs remain, used only to help 
mobilize SCP-1227. 

SCP-1227-F: Unidentified male. Connected to SCP-1227-G by 2 
meters of urinary tract. Only the trunk and right arm remain. Used to 
process urine and to mobilize SCP-1227. 

SCP-1227-G: Unidentified male KGB researcher. Connected to 
SCP-1227 by 3 meters of digestive tract. Only trunk and right leg 
remain. Serves as the end of the digestive system. 

SCP-1227-H: Foundation male D-class personnel D- - . 
Connected to SCP-1227 by as well as extended brain stem. 
Only the head and heart remain. 


SCP-1227-I: Foundation test canine. Connected to SCP-1227 by 5 
meters of extruded nervous system. Only head and front legs 
remain. SCP-1227 claims it is a ‘precaution’ for ‘self-defense’. It will 
often crawl to the limit of its connection to bark and whine at 
researchers. Close observation has revealed that it is outside 
SCP-1227’s control. 


| really wish we hadn’t tested if the effect also works on animals, but 
now | expect you to honor ‘safe-zone’ protocol more than ever, until 
we find a way to amputate the damn thing. O5- . 


Despite the changes SCP-1227 has undergone, SCP-1227 still 
possesses human intelligence and reasoning. SCP-1227 has been 
successfully taught English to a sufficiently advanced degree. 
Psychoanalysis showed no signs of cognitive defects, or disorder of 
thought patterns and processing. SCP-1227 is permitted books and 
other entertainment at Lead Researcher Sarah Townsend’s 
discretion, as well as daily visits from ‘friends’ selected for him by 
the research staff. SCP-1227 appears to have a normal level of 
social functioning, and during these visits enjoys hearing stories or 
news about the outside world. However, it has become apparent 
that SCP-1227 harbours well-developed delusions into its current 
state of being, often claiming that SCP-1227 A-H are ‘children’ 
playing peacefully nearby, as well as repeatedly claiming SCP-1227- 
D’s stomach is an ‘oven’. Further interviews have shown that 
SCP-1227 believes itself to be in a normal family setting, with a wife 
and several children. SCP-1227 appears to regard containment and 
constant experimentation as a normal part of family life, never 
questioning orders or requests in order to preserve its own illusions. 
Rational-Emotive Therapy has been applied, without success. 


On one notable occasion (22/09/ ), SCP-1227 complained of feeling 
‘hungry’. Minutes later he grabbed an unwary D-Class personnel 
and mostly tore him apart, feeding the carcass into SCP-1227-D. 
Afterwards he bonded what remained to his biomass, which would 
later become SCP-1227-H. He appeared to be under the impression 
that he was ‘preparing a feast’ for his ‘family’ the whole time. It is 
currently unclear if these delusions are symptoms of a disorder such 
as schizophrenia, or if SCP-1227 is attempting to escape the horror 
of its current situation by creating a full intrapsychic world where it 


feels safe; it should be noted that SCP-1227 often claims its 
childhood was the happiest time of its life, and perhaps this is why 
its delusions center around themes such as childhood and family. 


One major breakthrough came when SCP-1227 admitted that the 
serious puncture wounds to both its eyes were self-inflicted, possibly 
in an attempt to escape the sight of its own vastly mutated body. 


All attempts at therapy have failed; the subject appears to be in a 
well-developed denial system, often becoming aggressive and 
frustrated when therapists tell him they cannot see his seven playing 
children, or his devoted wife. All attempts to get SCP-1227 to 
elaborate on the events inside the cave, or how he acquired these 
new abilities, are typically met with sudden staring, drawing its body 
parts around it, and refusing to speak for 2-4 months.

SCP-1228: The Fan Club 


Item #: SCP-1228 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation Agents are to 
infiltrate all major Internet service providers to ensure civilian access 
to SCP-1228 is blocked. Any personnel accessing SCP-1228 for 
testing purposes is to be accompanied by at least one Researcher, 
and must submit to mandatory psychological evaluation afterwards. 
(Access to SCP-1228 outside of testing purposes is now strictly 
forbidden. See Incident 1228-A for further details.) 


Description: SCP-1228 is a website with the domain .com. 
Any software used to monitor Internet connections crashes when 
applied to connections to SCP-1228, so its IP address is unknown. 
The domain is not registered by anyone, and when usually accessed 
gives the normal "DNS lookup failed" error. However, if viewed by 
an individual with a history of creative aspirations, SCP-1228 will 
appear as the page of the viewer’s “Official Fan Club.” Although the 
site’s contents vary from individual to individual, a few pages appear 
consistently. 


¢ Wiki: Extensive documentation of the subject’s work. Subjects 
typically claim that the nonexistent titles listed are “something 
they’ve always wanted to do.” 


« News: Reports of nonexistent events in the subject’s life. 
Events reported are invariably of a positive nature, such as 
the subject winning a major award for their work. Interviews 
with the subject are often listed here as well, with the subject 
usually mentioning in the interview that they’re glad they 
chose to pursue their passion rather than their career path in 
real life. 


¢ Forums: Discussion of the subject and their work. Posters’ 


comments are all unanimously positive, praising everything 
the subject has produced. In order to gather as much 
information on SCP-1228 as possible, the Foundation strongly 
encourages test subjects to post on the forums themselves. 


Store: A store exists for the purchase of merchandise 
pertaining to the subject's work, such as T-shirts, posters, and 
figurines. Within hours of making a purchase, an unmarked 
package will appear at the subject’s address containing the 
product(s) in question. Attempts to trace the origin of the 
packages and their products have proven unsuccessful. 


After viewing SCP-1228, test subjects will report feelings of 
depression, with thirty percent attempting suicide shortly afterwards. 


Incident 1228-A: On 09/17/20 , Dr. , the current Researcher 
presiding over SCP-1228, was reported missing. An aspiring writer 
in his youth, had taken to browsing SCP-1228 obsessively. 
Investigation of his offices revealed a log of private messages with a 
forum poster named “Ellen.” 


+ Conversation Log 


Ellen: | can’t believe it! It’s really you! You 
have no idea how long I’ve dreamed of talking 
with you! :) 

Dr. : Aww, thanks. It’s always an honor 
talking to a fan. 

Ellen: I’ve read every single one of your 
books. | especially liked the one about the guy 
who goes crazy at sea. | cried like a baby at 
the end! 

Dr. : Really? That’s what I’ve wanted to 
do ever since | was a kid, really. Write 
something that makes people emotional. 
Ellen: You make me REAL emotional, if you 
know what | mean. You wouldn’t be interested 
in meeting up sometime, would you? 

Dr. : I'd love to. Where at? 

Ellen: | live at [REDACTED]. See you then! ;) 


An Agent was dispatched to the address, revealing an abandoned 
two-story house. Dr. 's current whereabouts remain unknown.

SCP-1229: Thirty-Seven Films Starring Lana Neal 


Item #: SCP-1229 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-1229 are to 
be saved on the Site-28 Secure Server and cataloged in the 
Research File. Access to SCP-1229 files is to be conducted in 
accordance with standard Foundation electronic information security 
protocols. 


Research staff are to monitor internet traffic for SCP-1229. Upon 
detection of an SCP-1229 instance, staff are to copy the file for 
Foundation records and containment, record and track IP addresses 
associated with uploading, and take action to immediately delete the 
instance. See Clandestine Electronic Data Interference Guide for 
more details. 


Due to the unpredictable nature of SCP-1229 instances appearing 
on the internet, and in order to minimize public knowledge of their 
anomalous properties, all information and records pertaining to Ms. 
Lana Neal have been expunged. Periodic checks for any remaining 
records concerning this individual are to be carried out to ensure 
that no information remains accessible to the general public. All 
original camera negatives of the four films in which Ms. Neal 
appeared have been seized by the Foundation and are currently 
stored in the Site-28 Research Archives. Due to the relatively low 
awareness and quality of these films, copies were never widely 
distributed, and the few available reproductions have been obtained 
by the Foundation. Suppression of this information has achieved a 
Grade 3 Widespread Public Awareness Scenario, consisting of a 
low-level lingering knowledge of Ms. Neal's existence among 
cinema enthusiasts, typically characterized in these circles as an 
"urban legend”. 


Description: SCP-1229 is a series of (to date) 37 electronic video 


files, first documented in 2002 and continuing into the present, which 
have thus far included files in .avi, .mkv, .mpeg, and .wmv formats. 
Each video file is a depiction of Lana Neal, an obscure British 
actress active during the early 1970s, in what appear to be a variety 
of different programs meant for television broadcast. Biometric data 
analysis, voice recognition software and audiovisual manipulation 
screenings have determined that each SCP-1229 instance is a true 
and accurate recording of Ms. Neal. 


How these recordings are made is not understood at this time, as 
Ms. Neal has been deceased as of 03/18/1974. This has been 
confirmed by exhumation of Ms. Neal's remains and DNA analysis 
of tissue samples obtained in this manner. A coroner's inquest, prior 
to Foundation expungement of public records, listed the cause of 
death as acute cranial trauma related to a fall, which was confirmed 
by Foundation research staff upon exhumation of Ms. Neal's 
remains. No criminal act is suspected at this time to have occurred 
in relation to Ms. Neal's death. 


The ostensible subject material of each SCP-1229 instance varies; 
video transmissions have included programs formatted as nature 
documentaries, sitcoms, game shows, serial dramas, and other 
programs typically broadcast on television. Each broadcast centrally 
features Ms. Neal; to date, no other persons have ever appeared. 
Dialogue, when present and/or audible, consists of Ms. Neal 
appearing to read from a script or a prompt outside the view of the 
camera, and is almost always inconsistent with the type of show the 
broadcast appears to be. Due to references to noteworthy, 
contemporaneous events in recorded dialogue, it is assumed that 
these broadcasts are continually being created and distributed by an 
unknown party or parties. 


Instances of SCP-1229 are typically found on torrent websites and 
other file-sharing locations on the internet. While research staff have 
been able to identify IP addresses associated with SCP-1229 
uploads, these addresses have never been observed to correspond 
to an assigned, extant user. No known instances of SCP-1229 have 
been observed to have been transmitted via any type of television 
signal. 


After extensive experimentation involving D-Class personnel, no 


anomalous effects have been observed in association with viewings 
of SCP-1229.
