Description: SCP-3791 is room 1699 of Decommissioned Facility- 
US61, a component structure of a former Site-01 iteration. It 
measures 4.5 m x 5.5 m, is linked to the outside hallway via a steel 
door, and has a single window to the exterior of the facility. The door 
is locked with an electronic keypad significantly more advanced than 
was mandated by security protocols at the time of the facility's 
construction. The office does not appear on any archived blueprints, 
and the identity of any former occupants remains unknown. Objects 


originating within SCP-3791 have proven unresponsive to all tested 
methods of interaction. 


SCP-3791 exhibits a temporal anomaly anchored specifically to 
November 3, 1972 at 4:32 PM (hereafter referred to as the anchor 
point.) Electronic devices brought into SCP-3791 display the anchor 
point as the current time and date, as well as the time and date of all 
contained files' creation and most recent edits. Mechanical clocks 
are similarly affected. Physical calendars brought into SCP-3791 are 
altered such that all contained dates and times match the anchor 
point. While inside the office, individuals tend to believe that the 
current time and date match the anchor point, but do not resist 
reminders to the contrary. 


Individuals within SCP-3791 experience perfect recollection of 
memories formed between approximately 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM on 
any given November 3. This effect bypasses most low-grade 
pharmaceutical and hypnotic amnestic treatments. Memories 
recalled in this fashion persist indefinitely after exiting SCP-3791. 
Access to SCP-3791 has been restricted given the significant 
security, containment, and mental health risks posed by this effect. 


A possible world state at the anchor point exists inside SCP-3791, 
and extends to all observable points outside the office when viewed 
from within. Through the doorway, the shadow of an individual can 
be seen cast against the opposite wall. The intensity of the shadow 
suggests that the facility's emergency lights have been activated. A 
single cell thunderstorm can be observed in progress through the 
window, typified by light rainfall and incomplete cloud cover. Four 
covered trucks and 35 armed personnel are visible in the plaza 
below, all bearing markings of Foundation Internal Security (later re- 
organized as MTF Alpha-1). No record exists of an FIS deployment 
matching this time and location.

1. Knowledge gathered from an asset that has proven to be 
consistently unreliable, hold amateur-level knowledge, or exhibits 
fluctuating anomalous traits. 

2. Depictions of the Howling Pillar appear frequently during 
Foundation investigations of extradimensional entities. It appears to 
be analogous to one of the seven Wonders of the World (Ita,Every 
Bridge Has Two Sides: An Examination of Extrinsic Architecture, 
2012) 


managed to convince SCP-492 to surrender itself in to Foundation 
custody. 


As aside note, SCP-492 apparently knows how to play the violin, 
and is quite proficient, knowing several well known pieces. How, 
where, or when exactly SCP-492 learned such a skill is unknown. 
SCP-492 has no knowledge on the origin of this ability, either. 


Addendum 1: Due to its friendly and overtly helpful attitude and 
nonthreatening nature, Dr. has decided to let SCP-492 freely 
interact with on-site personnel. Because of its previous "career" as 
an animatronic pirate, on-site staff have taken to nicknaming 
SCP-492 "Captain Jack". Performance and opinion surveys of 
SCP-492 by on-site staff have proven so remarkably positive that 
O5 administration has decided to let Dr. 's experiment continue 
indefinitely. 


Addendum 2: Given to SCP-492's lack of organs or any biological 
material, SCP-492 has proven to be uniquely suited to handling 
SCPs that would be dangerous to regular humans. SCP-492 has 
already been cleared to participate in several experiments with Safe- 
level SCPs. However, handling Euclid and Keter-class SCPs 
requires a security clearance upgrade, and is pending O5 review. 


Addendum 3: A Foundation surveillance team has been 
permanently posted at Amusement Park after the following 
interview with SCP-492: 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. : Do you remember when exactly you became 
aware of your own existence? 

SCP-492: Well... | can't quite tell for sure. A day is when 
the sun comes up and goes down, right? 


Dr. : That's correct. 

SCP-492: Well then, that would be about days to my 
best guess. 

Dr. : (coughs) You mean you've been wandering 


around that park for years?! 
SCP-492: (cringes) Is that a bad thing? 
Dr. : N-no. Moving on, did you notice anything 


SCP-3792: Up In Smoke 


Item #: SCP-3792 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3792 is enclosed within a 
hermetically sealed cylinder composed of acrylic plastics. This 
container is held in a locker located in Site-77's Safe SCP object 
wing. Any research on SCP-3792 is subject to approval by the lead 
researcher, Dr. Gerard. It is not believed that SCP-3792 has any 
damage-resistant properties; as such, care is to be taken when 
handling it directly. 


Description: SCP-3792 is an aerosol can capable of producing an 
unlimited quantity of black smoke. The exterior label reads "Smells 
Like Chicago Spirit"; other than this, there are no identifying 
marks on any portion of the canister. 


When used, smoke produced by SCP-3792 will form into 
autonomous figures. Designated SCP-3792-1, they resemble 
humanoid silhouettes. Their appearance lacks detail, with only basic 
facial features and extremities being clearly visible. Despite this, 
smoke in the shape of clothing and various tools may also manifest 
in the possession of SCP-3792-1. These have included ski masks, 
crowbars, glass cutters, and occasionally small unidentifiable 
objects for purposes such as lock-picking. Smoke from SCP-3792 
generates a number of SCP-3792-1 correlating to the amount 
released. 


SCP-3792-1 collectively attempts to obtain an object desired by the 
last living human subject any of them individually came into physical 
contact with. This may reflect unconscious notions, or expressly 
coveted items. Directly coming into contact with an instance of 
SCP-3792-1 causes human subjects to report feeling as though their 
stomach is empty. A subsequent lack of energy or motivation has 
also been reported in these subjects, although it is unknown whether 


this correlates directly to SCP-3792's effect or a secondary non- 
anomalous effect caused by SCP-3792-1's effect on their lives. 


Following contact, all existing SCP-3792-1 will then attempt to enter 
the location in which the affected subject believes the object(s) of 
their desire is located. SCP-3792-1 can materialize as clouds of 
smoke which may infiltrate a building by clinging to clothing or 
inhabiting the inside of suitcases or other containers. In addition, 
SCP-3792-1 entities may enter using traditional burgling means. 
When unable to find any object of desire, SCP-3792-1 will 
intentionally initiate contact with another subject. 


Any of the desired object(s) coming into contact with SCP-3792-1 
will be momentarily engulfed in flames. This does not destroy the 
object or reduce it to ash. Instead, once the flames recede affected 
object(s) will display a smoke-like composition similar the 
SCP-3792-1's appearance. SCP-3792-1 will then return to the 
vicinity of SCP-3792 with the affected item(s) in their possession. 
They will then slowly and incrementally have a small portion of their 
body return to SCP-3792's interior until they and any objects with 
their properties have demanifested entirely. 


If attempting to come into contact with an object which has taken on 
the composition of SCP-3792-1, subjects will experience immediate 
spontaneous combustion. If this occurs, all SCP-3792 related 
activity currently active will cease and all extant entities and objects 
will dissipate into smoke and vanish from observable space. 


SCP-3792 was discovered after Foundation agents in London, ON, 
CA, intercepted reports of spontaneous human combustion and 
determined relation to a suspicious newspaper advertisement. 
These read "SMOKEY AND THEY CANNED IT" with a listed 
address. Agenis investigating the address discovered approximately 
200 instances of SCP-3792 as well as several instances of 
SCP-1317. No further public advertisements have been discovered. 


Classified as Safe on 09/18/2009. 


SCP-3795: WHO KILLED YOUR DOG?! 


Item #: SCP-3795 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3795 is kept in a standard 
high-value containment locker in Site 68. Testing of SCP-3795 is to 

be only carried out on D-Class with no prior history of animal abuse, 
and under no circumstances are any researchers who currently own 
pets to come into contact with SCP-3795. 


Description: SCP-3795 is a hardcover copy of the book The Genius 
of Dogs: How Dogs are Smarter Than You Think by Brian Hare and 
Vanessa Woods (Plume, 2013). In both its inert and active state, 
SCP-3795 is physically identical to a non-anomalous copy of the 
book, except that the phrase "WHO KILLED YOUR DOG?!" has 
been written on the copyright page in black marker. 


SCP-3795's anomalous properties manifest when an individual who 
currently owns a domestic dog (Canis familiaris) reads the phrase 
on the copyright page of the book. After comprehending it in its 
entirety, the subject will immediately lose consciousness and cannot 
be awoken by any means for approximately six hours. During this 
time, the subject's dog! will invariably be killed by a close friend or 
relative of the subject who, after leaving the area in which the pet 
was murdered, will have no recollection of its death. SCP-3795 is 
able to anomalously influence the actions of the person it selects so 
that the dog is killed before the six hours have passed, and 
Foundation researchers have yet to discover a way to preemptively 
prevent the death of a targeted pet. 


After re-entering a conscious state, the subject will immediately gain 
knowledge of their dog's death, usually causing them great distress. 
The following note will then appear on their person (hereafter 
SCP-3795-A): 


YOUR DOG IS DEAD! 


Can YOU tigure out who did it? 


You have 24 hours 


SHOW THEM THAT YOU CARE! 


SCP-3795-A then lists three different "clues" based on the dog 
selected and the nature of the murderer (e.g. when a dog was shot 
by a subject's mother, SCP-3795-A listed "How could she do this to 
you?" as a clue). If the subject successfully identifies their dog's 
killer within twenty-four hours and vocalizes their name using the 
phrase "It was [killer]!", the dog will be brought back to life 
unharmed; if they fail to, it remains deceased and cannot be revived 
after an event has concluded. 


After completion of an SCP-3795 event, one of the following notes 
appears within the vicinity of the subject: 


SCP-3795-B (Success) 


WELL DONE! 


You get your dog back. 


ENJOY! And remember... 
MAN'S BEST FRIEND. :) 
SCP-3795-C (Failure) 
Time is UP. 


Sorry, you missed your chance. 


Your dog is gone now. Remember... 


MAN'S BEST FRIEND. :( 


Addendum 3795.A: During trial 3795/023, SCP-3795 was tested on 
D-76539, a felon with a history of animal abuse directed towards 
dogs and cats, including a conviction related to a dogfighting charge. 
For the purposes of the experiment, D-76539 was temporarily given 
a Labrador Retriever puppy. 


Upon SCP-3795's activation, D-76539 appeared to momentarily 
experience intense pain before expiring shortly afterwards. Post- 
mortem analysis identified blood loss from severe laceration as the 
primary cause of death. Containment procedures were subsequently 
updated to prevent testing on subjects with abusive tendencies 
towards animals.

1. If the subject currently owns more than one dog, only one will be 
affected 


SCP-3796: What a Wonderful Unification It Would Be 


Item #: SCP-3796 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3796 is to be kept in a 
Safe-class object locker in Site-73. No personnel are allowed to 
touch or otherwise play SCP-3796.
