Location: 5.3 km north-west of entrance 

Date Discovered: / / 

Description: Instance was decorated in cottage-style 
furnishings and paint that appeared to be completely 
black, with subsequent experimentation showing 
decorative patterns that were only visible in ultraviolet 
wavelengths. Personnel performing experiments within 
instance reported mild nausea and disorientation 
stemming from some form of sensory confusion; during 
debriefings, personnel reported that "the angles felt all 
wrong", despite lack of corroboration from 
measurements taken during initial survey. Affected 
personnel were quarantined for safety but recovered fully 
and returned to duty without incident. 


Addendum 1469-2: Experiment Record 


On / / , aseries of GPS tracking units were placed within several 
instances of SCP-1469-3 in an attempt to test the hypothesis that 
instances of SCP-1469-3 were being displaced to real-world 


locations. As of // , six (6) out of the original thirty (30) instances 
designated for tracking have de-manifested, but the GPS units 
placed within them have yet to be found. 


Addendum 1469-3: Incident Log 


On / / , following extensive testing on material samples collected 
from SCP-1469-3 instances, the following printed note was 
discovered near the entrance to SCP-1469-2: 


To whom it may concern: 


| don't know how you guys got in here and you're free to 
keep looking around, but please stop damaging the 
merchandise. Your cooperation is appreciated. 


— The Management 
P.S. — You break it, you buy it. 


Shortly after this incident, Foundation administration discovered an 
unexplained site budget shortfall in the amount of US$, , 

Further sampling and recovery requests have been suspended 
pending further investigation.

SCP-1470: Telepathic Spider 


Item #: SCP-1470 
Object Class: Neutralized (formerly Safe) 


Special Containment Procedures: The remains of SCP-1470 have 
been laid to rest in a small plastic case within the podium section of 
its terrarium, see below. The terrarium is to remain stocked with 
salticids and the offspring of SCP-1470, and observed. Pending the 
end of quarantine period, these offspring may be introduced into the 
wild if no anomalous behavior is detected. 


All personnel have been cleared of quarantine after exposure to 
SCP-1470 with no ill effects. 


Previous containment procedures, ended May 7th 2008: 
SCP-1470 is housed in a sound-proofed terrarium measuring 0.75 
meters by 2 meters, 0.60 meters tall. The terrarium includes a small 
source of fresh running water and includes flora common to the 
Australian state of Queensland. The northeastern corner of the 
terrarium has been modified to allow for communication with 
SCP-1470. This location is referred to as the "podium." SCP-1470 
appreciates regular social contact and is scheduled for interviews 
three times daily, allowing for a regular nocturnal sleep schedule. If 
personnel wish to conduct an unscheduled interview with SCP-1470 
for any reason, they may do so by entering the chamber and 
vocalizing their intent to speak with SCP-1470, which will enter the 
podium or respond as it is able. It is not necessary to speak verbally 
when communicating with SCP-1470, but vocalization of words 
helps to convey meaning more clearly than thinking of abstract 
concepts and allows for easier transcription of communication. 
SCP-1470 is not capable of understanding the full range of human 
thought, so it is highly recommended that researchers only use 
basic concepts and short statements. 


SCP-1470's terrarium should be stocked with a monitored 


population of mundane salticids, web-building spiders, and their own 
prey insects to serve as prey for SCP-1470. The best way to 
distinguish SCP-1470 from other salticids within the terrarium is to 
ask it to wave its arms. 


Personnel working with SCP-1470 must report for psychological 
screening on a weekly basis, for a period no less than a year after 
exposure. 


Description: SCP-1470 was a male fringed jumping spider (Portia 
fimbriata) recovered from Queensland, Australia. Its body measures 
6.3 millimeters. In life SCP-1470 was sapient and capable of 
telepathic communication with other sapient beings at a range of 
approximately nine meters, although SCP-1470 was otherwise not 
notably different from other members of its species in behavior or 


physiology. 


The Queensland population of P. fimbriata has already been 
observed to be more intelligent than other spiders in its ability to 
solve problems and employ unique hunting tactics to capture its 
prey, which primarily consists of other spiders, both of the web- 
spinning varieties and other members of the Salticidae family to 
which they belong. 


Apart from its ability to communicate with research personnel, 
SCP-1470 displayed no behavior that was deviant from what is 
typical of the Queensland variant of P. fimbriata. However, due to its 
anomalous ability to communicate, it is not recommended that any 
conclusions about the species be drawn based on the experiences 
of SCP-1470. 


Communication: SCP-1470's method of telepathic broadcast 
appears to assign terms on a "best-fit" basis within the minds which 
receive its communications. When SCP-1470 referred to parts of its 
own body which do not directly correspond to human anatomy the 
terms are adjusted based on content. For example, while "leg" is a 
straightforward translation, references to SCP-1470's palp were 
typically perceived as "arm" by researchers. 


Refer to the following statement received after an unsuccessful 
attempt to introduce SCP-1470 to a mate: 


"| went at the bloody harlot waving me arms around to let 
her know what's what but she wasn't having none of it. 
She smacked her lips at me and gave me a good 
drumming with her arms and legs, and | know it was 
because of that hideous red stripe you asked to put on 
me arse, it really makes a fellow stand out in ways he's 
not supposed to, you know? Those savages might not 
notice it much but you can't fool a proper lady. So 
anyway | had to tie a bungie and make a jump for it, 
before sailing back to me tent to nurse me pride." 


As is typical of statements made by SCP-1470, it was perceived in a 
way that could almost be spoken by another human (it was also 
typical to perceive these statements in a strong regional dialect). 


Note, however, that "harlot" is used as a derogatory term and does 
not imply prostitution, a concept alien to P. fimbriati. "Lips" refers to 
the chelicerae, where a spider's fangs are stored. "Arms" refers to 
the palps bordering the mouth, which are larger in males and used 
for display purposes; in this case, they were used to make the 
female aware of SCP-1470's presence and lack of intent to harm 
her. "Arse" refers to abdomen, and the red stripe that was painted 
there at one time to distinguish SCP-1470 from other spiders. "Tie a 
bungie" refers to laying down a safety line of silk before making a 
jump off of the surface the spiders were located on, and "sailing" is a 
straightforward description of drifting down on a loose strand of silk 
while airborne. Likewise, "tent" refers to SCP-1470's web, a 
structure used purely for shelter. 


The red stripe was removed from SCP-1470 afterward, and a less 
mature female was introduced to the terrarium. The following 
excerpt was taken from the subsequent interview: 


SCP-1470: Hey, not so loud, mate, you'll wake the little 
sheila. 


Dr. Westington: Your interaction with her seemed to go 
better. How is she doing? 


SCP-1470: She was pretty scared when she got tossed 
out here by those big predators. At least | think she was, 


she can't talk to me like we can talk. None of them ever 
can. But she shows me she cares in her own way, she 
asked me back to her place and we're going to stay there 
until she's ready. 


Dr. Westington: Ready for what? 


SCP-1470: You know! Can't be a gentleman if we talk 
about it so plainly, you know? Not the way you guys do. 
Anyway, | guess | should say thank you. It's not what | 
wanted, but it will do. 


Dr. Westington: You told me you wanted a mate. 


SCP-1470: | told you | wanted a wife. A mate is a friend, 
we're mates, right? You're fun to talk to but | wanted... 
someone | could look in the eyes while | talked to them. 


Dr. Westington: We've never found anyone else that 
can talk like you do. 


SCP-1470: Well, it's what separates us from the 
savages, right? 


Dr. Westington: You mean your prey species? 


SCP-1470: Right, right. You're different from them, 
because you can talk like | do. | would never eat 
something that could talk. She can't talk, but... | can tell 
she's like me. She just needs to grow up some. That will 
be very soon. She'll probably catch more savages than 
me, too. We'll have good children, if that big old harlot 
keeps her distance. 


Dr. Westington: We removed her from the area. 
SCP-1470: | hope you didn't hurt her. 


Note that cohabitation in the same web between a male and a 
sexually immature female is not uncommon in P. fimbriata. The 
female's maturity was reached within the next two weeks and 
SCP-1470 left the web after copulating. As is normal for the species, 


the female did not devour or kill SCP-1470. 
Excerpts of final interview 
SCP-1470: Hey, is anyone out there? 


Dr. Westington: Hello, I'm here. We were just 
doing some work on your enclosure. 


SCP-1470: What, the podium? It's enclosed 
but | don't see you in here. 


Dr. Westington: | am outside your podium. 


SCP-1470: The podium doesn't have an 
outside, you daft bint! How come | can't get 
outside it? 


Dr. Westington: Do you see me waving my 
arm at you? 


SCP-1470: [/unintelligible. "Wordless dread" 
would be the most apt description of what | felt 
from SCP-1470, which fled the podium shortly 
thereafter, in a manner that suggested it was 
trying to avoid a predator. P. fimbriata has 
excellent vision, although at a very short 
range. SCP-1470 had reacted to us visually 
before, but never in such a manner that 
suggested it realized we were the beings 
speaking with it - Dr. Westington] 


Dr. Westington: | will not hurt you. We like 
talking with you and we want you to live. 


SCP-1470: | never realized you were so big. 
How could anything be so big. 


[SCP-1470 refuses to communicate for two 
hours. | remained at the podium, attempting to 
coax him back into interaction. - Dr. 
Westington.] 


SCP-1470: I'm sorry. | just thought we were 
like each other, but that you just wanted to 
stay hidden because I'm kind of the king of the 
jungle around here. At least | thought | was. 


Dr. Westington: Maybe | should have. We've 
tried hard not to alarm you. 


SCP-1470: What are you? 


Dr. Westington: | don't have any answers to 
that which will make sense to you, but | 
understand you were scared. I've been scared 
too, by things that are as big to me as | am to 
you. If that hurts to think about, | understand 
that too. 


SCP-1470: The children won't talk to me. But 
the ones that lived are doing alright. | guess 
that isn't important to something like you 
though. 


Dr. Westington: It will be my job to watch 
them. We were hoping they could talk like you 
do. 


SCP-1470: Hah! You and me both. I'm pretty 
tired and itchy now. Want to change my coat 
but | can't. Sorry for getting all weird on you 
earlier. | just wanted you to know that it was 
nice to talk to someone while it lasted. 


Note from Dr. Westington: SCP-1470 lived for a total of three 
months in Foundation custody before perishing of natural causes. 
He was not fully mature at the time of containment, so his total 
lifespan was estimated to be approximately four months.

SCP-1471: MalO ver1.0.0 


Item #: SCP-1471 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All mobile devices that have 
SCP-1471 installed are to be confiscated and analyzed for any 
potential leads to other possibly affected devices. Afterwards, 
affected devices are to have their batteries removed, be assigned a 
designation (e.g. SCP-1471-#), and be placed in Storage Unit-91 at 
Research Site-45. 


All online application stores for mobile devices are to be monitored 
to prevent any inadvertent sales of SCP-1471. Suspected devices 
are to be targeted using self-uploading malware in order to disable 
the device until it can be seized by field agents. 


Description: SCP-1471 is a free 9.8MB application for mobile 
devices named "MalO ver1.0.0" in online application stores. 
SCP-1471 has no listed developer and is somehow able to bypass 
the application approval process to go directly to distribution. 
SCP-1471 is also able to avoid removal by other program manager 
applications. 


After SCP-1471 is installed, no icons or shortcuts are created for the 
application. SCP-1471 will then begin to send the individual images 
through text messaging every 3-6 hours. All images will contain 
SCP-1471-A either within the background or foreground. SCP-1471- 
A appears as a large humanoid figure with a canid-like skull and 
black hair. 


During the first 24 hours following the installation of SCP-1471, the 
mobile device will receive images taken at locations commonly 
frequented by the individual. After 48 hours, the mobile device will 
receive images taken at locations that were recently visited by the 
individual. After 72 hours, the mobile device will receive images of 


the individual in real time with SCP-1471-A appearing within close 
proximity to the subject. 


Individuals with >90 hours of exposure to these continuous images 
will begin to briefly visualize SCP-1471-A within their peripheral 
vision, reflective surfaces, or a combination of the two. Continued 
exposure to SCP-1471 after this point will cause irreversible and 
sustained visualizations of SCP-1471-A. Individuals at this stage 
have reported periodic attempts made by SCP-1471-A to visually 
communicate with them, but fail to understand or comprehend these 
actions. Currently the only known treatment to reverse SCP-1471's 
effect is to eliminate the individual's visual exposure to these images 
prior to 90 hours after installation. To date, no apparent hostile 
activity has been reported regarding SCP-1471-A.

SCP-1472: Multiverse Strip Club 


Item #: SCP-1472 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: A 3m tall chain-link privacy 
fence is to be constructed around the property boundary of 
SCP-1472. Construction signage is to be placed on all sides of the 
perimeter fence as to deter public suspicion. Mobile Task Force 
lota-6 (aka "Hard Knocks") are tasked with protecting the site from 
trespassers and are to be stationed within a 4 block quadrant 
around SCP-1472 at all times dressed in applicable urban attire. 


Any civilians that breach the fence are to be apprehended and be 
administered Class-A amnestics before being released. Any testing 
involving D-class resources must have Level-3 approval. All D-class 
personnel involved with testing are to be interrogated via polygraph 
afterwards.
