M@ SCP-1242-1a that are smaller in mass than 
SCP-1242 begin bloating and swelling, and 
display a voracious appetite, with a preference for 
materials high in protein. Instances of 


SCP-1242-1a that are smaller in mass than 
SCP-1242 have an estimated 6% total survival 
rate of this stage without medical intervention. It is 
unknown whether such individuals could survive 
the full run of the infection without medical 
intervention. 


¢ Nine hours: Symptoms accelerate as subject rapidly alters to 
more closely match the mass of SCP-1242. All identifying 
characteristics native to race are eliminated and subject's 
body begins restructuring to achieve the end stage result. 
Females have a significantly higher chance of dying due to 
complications associated with restructuring of primary 
reproductive systems in this stage. 


M@ Larger instances experience a continuation of 
emesis and diarrhea, skeletal fracturing and 
restructuring, and sloughing off of skin and hair. 
Instances in this stage are prone to organ failure 
from compression, bursting, and dehydration. 
Hydration can increase survival rates, but not 
substantially. 

H@ Smaller instances experience rapid growth, with 
associated internal lacerations and stress 
fractures from sudden growth of skeletal 
structure. It has been determined that continued 
nutritional supplementation substantially improves 
chances of survival at this stage for smaller 
instances, boosting survival chances from 4% to 
32%. 


¢ Ten hours: Subject's body structure now closely resembles 
SCP-1242. Symptoms converge and abate. SCP-1242-1 is 
once again infectious. 


¢ Eleven hours: All symptoms abate. Subject is now visually 
indistinguishable from SCP-1242, and is designated 
SCP-1242-2. 


SCP-1242-2 may be distinguished from SCP-1242 only by testing. 


SCP-1242-2 do not produce SCP-1242-1 as a biological by-product, 
carrying and transmitting it instead as an infectious blood-borne 
pathogen. In nearly all other respects, SCP-1242-2 are identical to 
SCP-1242. 


Instances of SCP-1242-2 possess intelligence commensurate to that 
of SCP-1242, and display a range of reactions and personality traits 
consistent with SCP-1242's non-depressive behaviors. Investigation 
into SCP-1242-2 neurochemistry reveals that instances' levels of 
serotonin and dopamine are elevated by an average of 15% above 
human baseline. This results in instances of SCP-1242-2 generally 
behaving docilely and showing a heightened preference for tactile 
sensation. It is hypothesized that instances do not develop 
depressive behaviors displayed by SCP-1242 due to an inability to 
experience strong negative emotion without an outside trigger. 


SCP-1242-2 have a drive to protect SCP-1242, and in the pursuit of 
that goal will seek out and infect individuals to propagate more 
instances of SCP-1242-2. In the event of a direct threat to 
SCP-1242, instances become extremely violent, lashing out at the 
perceived threat with any tools or weapons available, but will attack 
unarmed should they lack weapons. Autopsy of instances 
terminated while defending SCP-1242 indicates that levels of 
serotonin and dopamine drop below baseline in response to the 
perceived threat, with a concurrent and equal elevation in levels of 
epinephrine, nor-epinephrine, and testosterone. 


Psychological evaluation shows that individual instances continue to 
retain fragmented memories of their existence prior to infection, but 
do not display any personality traits inconsistent with SCP-1242's 
non-depressive behavior. Comparison of EEG's taken before and 
after conversion reveals significant restructuring of the frontal lobes 
which may contribute to this alteration of personality traits. 


SCP-1242 was discovered after the Foundation became aware of 
reports from the rural town , describing identical male 
youths, corresponding with reports of individuals disappearing. 


Subject was located in an outlying structure 1.2 km outside of the 
town proper surrounded by 24 instances of SCP-1242-2. Subject 
immediately warned Foundation personnel away, but made no 


attempt to escape. Agents and __were both exposed to 
SCP-1242-1 in the course of interviewing the subject. Agent 
recognized a potential biohazard and was able to communicate the 
necessary precautions before succumbing to infection. 


Containment teams eradicated all present instances of SCP-1242-2 
and took SCP-1242 into custody. The town was placed under 
quarantine until such time as a lack of infections was determined to 
exist. Class C amnestics were administered to the population, who 
were then relocated under a claim of eminent domain. The area of 
potential infection was then sterilized. 


SCP-1242 has displayed bouts of chronic depression associated 
with post-traumatic stress disorder and long-term isolation. Subject 
avoids discussion of the onset of its condition, and refuses to give its 
name. Its fingerprints do not match any on file. 


Addendum A: Reports of instances of SCP-1242-2 outside of 
Foundation control have been corroborated and neutralized on five 
(5) separate dates. Instances have been located as far as 4700 km 
from the point of initial containment. Attempts to question SCP-1242 
about these instances have been met with escalation of depressive 
behavior and emotional withdrawal. 


Addendum B: Following Incident 1242-1, instances of SCP-1242-2 
will be actively sought out and destroyed with all expediency. 


+ Incident 1242-1: Site Director Clearance Only 


[On / /20 , fifty-six instances of SCP-1242-2 mounted 
an assault on Site , where SCP-1242 is contained. 
Instances were armed with weapons ranging from small 
arms to explosive munitions made from commercially 
available ingredients. Instances displayed coordination 
and tactics at a level associated with a dedicated civilian 
militia training full time for a sustained period. Initial 
incursion was minimal due to rapid response by 
perimeter teams and initiation of site lockdown. 


While initial casualties were low, casualties from infection 
of personnel by SCP-1242-1 were high. It is still 


unknown how instances were able to obtain weapons 
and locate SCP-1242.

SCP-1243: Relocation Services 


Item #: SCP-1243 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: No methods of effectively 
containing SCP-1243 have been developed as of this time of writing. 
The prevention of public knowledge of SCP-1243 is top priority, and 
will be maintained through a number of web crawler programs 
designed to track down, delete, and record instances of the URL 
leading to SCP-1243-1. Foundation agents are undercover in 
several law enforcement agencies worldwide, especially those that 
handle missing persons' cases, to find possible instances of 
individuals using SCP-1243. 


Only personnel with a security clearance of 3/1243 are permitted to 
know SCP-1243's URL. To prevent the accidental spread of 
knowledge of SCP-1243, personnel being transferred out of work on 
SCP-1243 for any reason will be given class A amnestics. As it is 
unknown how SCP-1243 gathers information from its users or those 
being targeted by it, testing is forbidden at this time. 


Description: SCP-1243 consists of 2 components, designated 
SCP-1243-1 and SCP-1243-2. 


SCP-1243-1 is aweb page witha URLof .. / . To this date, 
the Foundation has been unable to trace this page to its server, due 
to the site having an inconsistent IPv4 address. The method used to 
obscure its true IPv4 address is unknown. This web page consists of 
a black (html color code #000000) background, a jpeg logo on the 
top-center of the page reading " Relocation Services", a text 
field labeled "Name", a return field labeled "Cost", a button labeled 
"Place Order", and a counter labeled "Customers Served". All of 
these elements are encoded using very simple HTML. The page 
gives no instructions as to how to use these elements. 


Upon filling out the "Name" field with either a name, alias, or title of 
an individual, the "Cost" field will return a value, usually in USD, but 
occasionally in other forms of currency, valuable goods, or, in 
several recorded instances, a relative or acquaintance of the user. It 
is unknown how the cost of an individual targeted in this fashion is 
determined, though high-interest, well-protected targets such as 
government officials will typically have an extremely high cost, 
making them unattainable to most users. Orders that the customer 
cannot afford will simply be denied. When the "Place Order" button 
is clicked, three events will occur; the price specified in the "Cost" 
field will be removed from the user's possession, the individual 
named in the "Name" field will appear in the vicinity of the user 
within a period of 12-72 hours, and the "Customers Served" counter 
will increment by one. The individual delivered to the purchaser will 
invariably be the one the purchaser meant to place an order for, 
even though no information other than the name, alias, or title of the 
individual was entered in the "Name" field. General descriptions 
entered in the "Name" field will result in a random individual 
matching those descriptions being delivered to the purchaser. 


Instances of SCP-1243-2 are entities which appear in the vicinity of 
individuals "purchased" using SCP-1243-1 for the purpose of 
abducting such individuals. Subjects vary greatly in appearance, 
though they are usually described as humanoids whose features 
have been significantly altered by surgical or other invasive means. 
Instances of SCP-1243-2 have been observed entering buildings 
through doors inaccessible from the outside and, rarely, traveling 
through objects such as mirrors and television screens to reach their 
target. Physical violence has proven effective in stopping single 
instances of SCP-1243-2, though abduction events have never been 
prevented in this manner, as more instances will arrive to take their 
place. To this date, there has been no method of successfully 
preventing SCP-1243-2 from abducting those targeted by 
SCP-1243. 


Despite the Foundation's best efforts, the number displayed by the 
"Customers Served" counter continues to increase at an alarming 
rate. The possibility of knowledge of SCP-1243 being spread by 
outside sources is under consideration. 


Recovery: SCP-1243 was discovered following an FBI raid ona 
human trafficking ring in , CA. The victims of this ring were found 
to be linked to missing person's cases in a number of different 
states, all of which were known to be outside the operating area of 
the criminal organization responsible for the ring. Additionally, the 
majority of the victims described being abducted by entities similar 
to those later designated SCP-1243-2. The URL leading to 
SCP-1243-1 was recovered from the hard drives seized by the FBI 
during this raid. All information regarding SCP-1243 was recovered 
from the FBI by MTF lota-10 (aka "Damn Feds"). Both the victims of 
the ring and its perpetrators were given class B amnestics with false 
memories implanted. 


Incident 1243-A: On the date of - -_ , several instances of 
SCP-1243-2 appeared in [REDACTED], the location where 
maintenance of SCP-1243 was being performed. By the time site 
security could respond, SCP-1243-2 had abducted 4 researchers 
involved with SCP-1243. At this time, information on several other 
SCP items is considered compromised, including SCP- ,SCP- , 
and SCP-_ .As the "Customers Served" counter did not increment, 
it is currently assumed that SCP-1248 acted of its own volition ina 
defensive manner. Revision of SCP-1243's Special Containment 
Procedures is pending at this time.

SCP-1244: Universal Stopwatch 


Item #: SCP-1244 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1244 is currently 
contained in lock box - in Site . SCP-1244 is currently under 
observation in storage room _, which shares a wall with the D-Class 
cafeteria kitchen. Under no circumstances should the top button be 
pushed outside of supervised testing procedure. 


Description: SCP-1244 appears to be a brand stopwatch, 
specifically a model produced in 19 . X-ray scans of the device 
reveal a very complex interior filled with gears and levers of various 
materials. The interior bears little to no relation to the expected 
components, both in complexity and material composition. Attempts 
to replicate or even map the design based on scans have met with 
repeated failure, and all requests to disassemble the watch have 
been turned down due to risk of damaging the device. An engraving 
on the back reads, "I'll see you soon -C". 


When the button on the top of the watch is pressed, the hand of the 
watch will quickly spin clockwise reading a time between ten (10) 
and sixty (60) seconds, then begin counting down to the zero (0) 
mark at the normal rate for a standard stopwatch. When the hand 
reaches zero it stops with a loud click, coinciding precisely with an 
event of significance to a nearby person, with a range of at least 16 
meters. The event is always the sort caused by a fixed amount of 
time passing, and were all in progress before the button was 
pushed. Statistically the number of such events occur with 
anomalous frequency during use of the watch, suggesting a sort of 
temporal causation by unknown method. 


Testing Log 


Setup: Digital clock with 30 seconds left till alarm 
Date: 01/13/ 


SCP-1244 spun up to 30 seconds, and counted down along with 
digital clock. 


Setup: Digital clock with 8 minutes left till alarm 
Date: 01/17/ 


SCP-1244 spun up to 53 seconds. When it reached zero, level 2 
researcher burst into the room, and apologized for being late for 
scheduled testing. The researcher felt no strange compulsion but 
had been held up studying and lost track of time, and rushed 
through the facility in an attempt to arrive on time. 


Setup: All time pieces removed from room, all researchers present 
Date: 01/17/ 


SCP-1244 spun up to 10 seconds. When it reached zero, no event 
was recorded. 

Note: This was later determined to have this coincided with the end 
of guard shift C. Two guards were stationed in the hallway outside 
the room at the time. - Dr. 


Setup: Researcher in far corner of room instructed to count down 
from 30 in his head 
Date: 1/17/ 


SCP-1244 spun up to 27 seconds and reached zero at the same 
time as researcher. 
Note: | guess the guy counted a little fast. - Dr. 


Setup: Non-researchers evacuated from testing wing. 
Date: 01/19/ 


SCP-1244 spun up to 57 seconds. When it reached zero, no event 
was recorded. 
Note: This event occurred at exactly 11PM local time, or Midnight in 


time where Dr. 's wife was living at the time. She was 
furious that he missed their anniversary. - Dr. 


Setup: Testing wing emptied, button pushed using remotely 
operated robotic arm 
Date: 01/21/ 


SCP-1244 spun up to 32 seconds. When it reached zero the robotic 
arm sparked and dropped SCP-1244. 

Note: We found a servo in the arm whose warranty expired exactly 2 
years from time of purchase, matching its failure to the second. It 
seems that, with no obvious countdown to sync to, it... finds one. - 
Dr. 


Setup: Digital clock with 61 seconds left till alarm. 
Date: 01/22/ 


SCP-1244 spun up to 60 seconds. When it reached zero, researcher 
collapsed to the floor, dead of a ruptured brain aneurysm. 
Subsequently discovered medical reports from 90 days ago had 
given him roughly three months to live. 
Note: It may just be me, but it feels like this was a little vindictive. It 
is my recommendation that we consider testing done on this 
particular object, I'd rather not piss it off any more and risk it 
interacting with any other SCPs in the facility. - Dr.
