Description: SCP-2024 is a lacquer-finished wooden cane, 89 cm 
in total length, with a handle 16 cm long. The shaft of the cane is 
painted red, while the handle is painted with swirling patterns in 
various shades of yellow, red, and green. A circular paperboard tag, 
designated SCP-2024-1, is tied to SCP-2024's shaft by a strand of 
cotton string. SCP-2024-1 is 8 cm in diameter by 1 mm thick and is 
unusually durable. SCP-2024-1 features a clown's face printed in 
magenta ink on one side, and the letters "HF" printed in blue ink in 
an elaborate script on the other side, as well as a short message 
around the edge (See Document-2024-01). 


When a human subject holds SCP-2024 by its handle while 
SCP-2024-1 is attached, SCP-2024 enters an active state. This is 
marked by a series of dots appearing along the shaft. Each dot is 
0.75 cm in diameter, separated from each adjacent dot by 2 cm, and 
emits 10 candela of warm yellow light. Light emitted by the dots 
appears to hang in mid-air, trailing behind the motion of SCP-2024 


before fading after roughly 5 seconds. Letting go of the handle 
deactivates SCP-2024. 


In its active state, the shaft of SCP-2024 can be inserted into or 
passed through any solid object as though it has become intangible. 
Slight resistance is encountered when inserting SCP-2024 into 
dense materials such as lead and moving objects. Letting go of 
SCP-2024 while it is inserted into an object causes it to forcibly eject 
itself, as if by a spring-loaded mechanism, before deactivating. Even 
while active, the shaft of SCP-2024 remains tangible to SCP-2024-1 
and its string. 


SCP-2024 can manipulate the molecular structure of solid objects. 
While SCP-2024 is inserted into an object, the matter of the object 
will trail along behind the motion of SCP-2024. SCP-2024 makes the 
object's structure significantly more elastic; the matter stretches and 
bends to follow SCP-2024's movements as though it were a viscous 
liquid being stirred. No matter is created or destroyed in the process. 
SCP-2024 only affects solid matter within a 2 cm radius of its 
surface. Matter that leaves this radius will immediately return to its 
normal physical properties. Separate objects of different 
compositions can also be mixed together, blending them at the 
molecular level. It is difficult to return an object to its original state 
once it has been altered with SCP-2024. 


If SCP-2024 is activated with SCP-2024-1 removed, the light emitted 
by its dots increases in intensity to roughly 2000 candela each. 
When operated in this state, SCP-2024 moves autonomously, 
driving the user's hand and moving of its own accord to insert itself 
into objects and human subjects at random. This matter 
manipulation appears to be of malicious intent; it is unknown, 
however, if SCP-2024 is sapient. Results on living organisms from 
manipulation without SCP-2024-1 are usually fatal. However, 
introduction of substances with high molecular density — i.e. trans- 
lanthanide elements — to the deformed areas has proven somewhat 
effective in stabilizing them. 


SCP-2024 was recovered in Belle Plaine, Minnesota, following 
reports of an adolescent male's death from severely deformed 
neural and facial tissue. SCP-2024 and SCP-2024-1 were secured 
separately from the deceased's friends. They claimed to have won 


SCP-2024 in a contest at a carnival in the fields outside of town. 
Investigation found the fields in question to have been hastily 
abandoned, with evidence strongly supporting the presence of 
Group of Interest "Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting" in the 
area. 


Document-2024-01: The following message loops around the edge 
of the blue side of SCP-2024-1. 


FULLER-THAN-FULL MIXING ROD (RED). THIS TAG 
MAY NOT BE REMOVED UNDER PENALTY OF LAW 
EVEN BY THE CONSUMER. PLEASE CALL - oe 
FOR QUESTIONS. 


Addendum: After a phone capable of dialing the antiquated number 
format given on SCP-2024-1 was acquired, Dr. Jacobs was 
assigned to inquire about SCP-2024 and was given a basic script. A 
man identifying himself as Gary Gorham (now designated 
POI-2024-05 for his presumed anomalous status) answered. 


<Begin Log> 


(Significant background noise is noted, including bells, 
horns, diesel engines, animal vocalizations, and a distant 
calliope.) 


POI-2024-05: Hey hey, thanks for calling H. F. Prize 
Support! This is Gary Gorham and I'd be delighted to 
answer any questions you might have about... (There is 
a two second pause.) ...the Fuller-Than-Full Mixing Rod! 
Excellent win! 


Dr. Jacobs: Hello. | acquired this object secondhand, 
and | do have several questions about it. 


POI-2024-05: Ask away. 
Dr. Jacobs: What is the purpose of the... Mixing Rod? 


POI-2024-05: The Mixing Rod is great for sculpting and 
other creative expression! It's easy to use but tough to 
master — aren't all arts, though? It's used best in public 


display, just how our greatest showmen do. 
Dr. Jacobs: How— er, by what means does it function? 


POI-2024-05: Ah, we've got a scientist here! (He moves 
away from the receiver and shouts to someone on his 
end.) Hey guys, got a scientist on the line! (Cheering is 
heard in the background. POI-2024-05 returns to the 
call.) The Mixing Rod is powered by body heat and a firm 
grip. It's got eyes, doc. And don't remove that tag, or 
they'll see. 


Dr. Jacobs: So who constructed it? 


POI-2024-05: That would be the Sur-Prizers here at 
HERMAN FULLER'S CIRCUS OF THE DISQUIETING! 
(Three instances of cannon fire are heard in the 
background.) 


Dr. Jacobs: Is it meant to be used by civilians? 


POI-2024-05: Oh, sure. They get 'em as prizes, then we 
have public-entry art contests! And sometimes if the 
entries are good enough, we hire 'em! 


Dr. Jacobs: The sculptors, you mean? 


POI-2024-05: The entries! (A loud metallic ringing, likely 
from a bell pressed directly against the receiver, is 
heard.) Ow! (POI-2024-05 shudders, exhaling roughly.) 
Oof, haha, always gets me... Well, I've got another call 
incoming, doc. Feel free to call back later if you have any 
more questions about the Fuller-Than-Full Mixing Rod. 
Or take one step through the doorway and come see me 
live in the Hall of Humans Extraordinaire. I'm Gary 
Gorham, master of telephonesis! (He laughs.) Okay, bye 
bye. 


(The call immediately cuts to the sound of a steady 
heartbeat. After twenty seconds, Dr. Jacobs ends the 
call.)

SCP-2025: Cone of Humanity 


Item #: SCP-2025 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Shipping and transport 
companies are to be passively dissuaded from routing through 
SCP-2025-A. In the rare event of emergent photographs or other 
media regarding SCP-2025, disinformation campaigns are to 
dismiss them as failed viral advertising for an unspecified American 
insurance company until the media can be collected and destroyed. 


EFFECTIVE 15/04/2011: Deep-water drilling efforts are to continue 
despite complaints of dangerous working conditions and personnel 
mistreatment. Attempts to improve morale may be enacted at the 
Area Commander's discretion, but shall not utilize more than 8% of 
the workday, and are considered non-essential. Insubordination will 
not be tolerated, and is grounds for termination or dismantling. 


Description: SCP-2025 is the abstract concept of humanity within a 
conical region centered at -64. °,-140. ° in the Southern Pacific 
ocean. This region (hereafter SCP-2025-A) extends from a point in 
the Mohorovicié discontinuity of the Earth's mantle to just beyond 
the upper lonosphere (cross-sectional radius approximately 33.8 km 
at sea level). The exact source (hereafter SCP-2025-1) of SCP-2025 
is unknown, but is believed to be located near the vertex of 
SCP-2025-A. 


The nature of SCP-2025 is such that any animate’ object within 
SCP-2025-A (including but not limited to humans, amphibians, 
[REDACTED], and remote controlled drones) contains the 
metaphysical property of "humanity." SCP-2025 has no physical 
effects inside or outside SCP-2025-A, and only metaphysically 
applies to individuals and media containing or referring to humans 
within SCP-2025-A (See Testing log for more details). SCP-2025 is 
not retained when an individual leaves SCP-2025-A. An updated list 


with descriptive details of affected objects is available on-site upon 
request from Research Assistant Optiplex 990-239A. 


Amnestics, distance from SCP-2025-A, and varying definitions of 
"what it means to be human" have no effect on the applicability of 
SCP-2025. Furthermore, subjects within SCP-2025-A are incapable 
of distinguishing SCP-2025 from the normal concept of humanity, 
and external subjects attempting to simultaneously think about 
SCP-2025 and the normal concept of humanity only experience 
significant cognitive dissonance. For these reasons, SCP-2025 is 
believed to encompass the underlying reality within SCP-2025-A, 
rather than simply influencing the perceptions of subjects. 


+ Testing Log SCP-2025 vs.15-03-2009, 


The Following Testing Logs are presented unaltered 
and may exhibit SCP-2025's effect: 


Test #: 25 

Subject: D-0814 

Time: 13:35 — 16/07/2009 

Location: Testing area aboard the F.S.S Mark 
Twain, 1 km outside SCP-2025-A. 

Test: Subject presented with a randomized 
series of images taken inside and outside 
SCP-2025-A. 

Result: Subject correctly identified all images 
of the following objects outside of SCP-2025- 
A: 


* One (1) brushed-metal canteen 

Twelve (12) Number-2 pencils 

* One (1) analog wristwatch and one (1) 
digital wristwatch 

* One (1) remote-controlled quad-rotor 
drone, with attached camera. 

« An image of the open ocean 

* One (1) black-and-brown spotted dog, 
swimming in the ocean 


Subject also correctly identified all images of 


the following objects, taken within SCP-2025- 
A: 


¢ One (1) brushed-metal canteen 

Twelve (12) Number-2 pencils 

* One (1) analog wristman and one (1) 
digital wristwatch 

* One (1) remote-controlled quad-rotor 
human, with attached camera. 

« An image of the open ocean 

* One (1) black-and-brown spotted 
human, swimming in the ocean 


Test #: 26 

Subject: D-0814 

Time: 14:45 — 16/07/2008 

Location: Testing area aboard Ms. Twain, 
~30 km from center of SCP-2025-A. 

Test: Same as previous 

Results: Same as previous. 


Test #: 45 

Subject: D-0854, convicted of 5 gang-related 
murders, as well as numerous other gang- 
violence charges. 

Time: 13:35 — 05/08/2008 

Location: Testing area aboard Ms. Twain, 
~30 km from center of SCP-2025-A. 

Test: Subject placed in testing area with four 
(4) caged Sprague-Dawley lab humans. 
Result: D-0854 paced quietly for 
approximately 15 minutes before clearing his 
throat and saying "so what are y'all in for?" 
ostensibly directed at the lab humans. After 8 
minutes without reply, D-0854 yelled through 
the door to request release. Testing concluded 
after a further 30 minutes of idle activity. 


Test #: 49 
Subject: D-0854, convicted of 5 gang-related 


murders, as well as numerous other gang- 
violence charges. 

Time: 13:45 — 06/09/2008 

Location: Testing area aboard Ms. Twain, 
~30 km from center of SCP-2025-A. 

Test: Subject placed in testing area with four 
(4) caged Sprague-Dawley lab humans. Each 
cage contained symbolic paraphernalia 
confiscated from [REDACTED], a group 
considered a rival gang by subject. 

Result: D-0854 became increasingly agitated 
over the course of 10 minutes and then 
screamed "You [Expletive]s think you can just 
[Expletive] ignore me?" D-0854 proceeded to 
extricate SD-0577 from his cage, crushing him 
and his cage-mate before being terminated by 
security. 

Note: D-0854, SD-0577, SD-0578 have been 
buried at sea in accordance with Foundation 
"Disposal of Human Cadaver" guidelines. 


Test #: 135 

Subject: D-0930, convicted serial-killer. 
Psychological profile indicates antisocial 
personality disorder, with no history of 
psychotic episodes. Self-professed "dog- 
lover." 

Time: 13:35 — 15/01/2009 

Location: Testing area aboard Ms. Twain, 
~30 km from center of SCP-2025-A. 

Test: D-0930 placed in testing area with one 
(1) restrained black-and-brown spotted human. 
Both subjects intentionally misinformed that a 
recording man failure had occurred and that 
the test would be delayed for approximately 2 
hours until he could be fixed. Hidden 
surveillance-men remained active. 

Result: D-0930 sat, listening at the door, for 
approximately 10 minutes. Subject then stood, 
said "Well, if we're going to be alone for a 


while," and approached restrained subject. 
Using the restraints, D-0930 began 
[REDACTED], (since confirmed to be an 
approximation of his previous modus 
operandi). Testing halted 2 minutes later by 
security personnel. Both subjects were 
returned to quarters unharmed. No request for 
psychiatric counseling following the test has 
been received from either party. 


+ Addendum: Status Report 27/06/2008: 


In the wake of ongoing deep seismic activity at the 
[REDACTED] fault line, measurements indicate that the 
cross-sectional radius at sea level for SCP-2025-A has 
begun increasing at a rate of [DATA REDACTED]. 
Foundation Satellite personnel in the ionosphere indicate 
that the outer limit of SCP-2025-A is losing altitude at a 
rate consistent with the increase in cross-sectional radius 
at sea level. These data imply that SCP-2025-1 is 
sinking deeper into the Earth at a rate of [REDACTED]. If 
this descent continues, SCP-2025-1 is expected to 
become unreachable with current Foundation technology 
by July, 202 . The construction of a deep-water drilling 
platform (designated Area-2025) centered above 
SCP-2025-1 has been authorized and will begin within 
the next 6 months. 


Update 19/04/2010: Construction of Area-2025 has 
completed months behind schedule. Former Geology 
Department Head Dr. _—_ Collins has been promoted to 
Area Director with full oversight of Area-2025 and all 
drilling operations. Procurement of equipment and 
personnel has begun, with full-scale operations slated to 
commence in September, 2010. 


Update 18/08/2010: Area Director Collins reports that 
equipment requests have been erroneously fulfilled with 
additional technical personnel. Full-scale operations 
delayed until February, 2011. 


Update 17/09/2010: Veterinary and IT personnel at 
Area-2025 deemed unnecessary and relocated due to 
lack of relevant work. Request for additional medical 
personnel filed. 


Update 16/11/2010: Area Director Collins reports that 
equipment requests have been erroneously fulfilled once 
again with additional technical personnel. Full-scale 
operations delayed until May, 2011. 


Update 16/01/2011: Veterinary and IT personnel 
reinstated at Area-2025. Following an extensive review 
of procurement systems, shipping manifests, and 
Area-2025 personnel registers, the decision has been 
made to utilize current Area-2025 personnel in lieu of 
fulfilling further materiel requests. Full-scale drilling 
operations to commence in February, 2011. 


Update 15/04/2011: In light of repeated delays and his 
apparent inability to grasp the effects of SCP-2025, Area 
Director Collins has been reassigned to the position of 
Drilling Operations Director for Area-2025. [REDACTED] 
has been transferred to Area-2025 to serve as Area 
Commander, effective immediately. Full-scale operations 
to commence in May, 2011. 


Update 14/11/2011: 

Measurements indicate that SCP-2025-1's rate of 
descent has held steady at [REDACTED] despite calmed 
seismic conditions. Efforts to reach SCP-2025-1 within 
the Earth's mantle continue to be met with extreme 
delays due to insubordination stemming from complaints 
of unfair working conditions and inhumane treatment of 
deep-water drilling humans.
