Agent Ahmad: | can appeal for you, but no 
promises. 


D-8375: Bless you. 
<Close Log> 


Closing Statement: Agent Ahmad has 
submitted an E-class application for D-8375 
under the reasoning that he has been affected 
by SCP-2596 previously and due to potential 
knowledge regarding Project Malleus. Pending 
approval. 


Addendum 2596-3: Since / /2006, water secreted from SCP-2596 
is identified to be a mixture of fresh water and human saliva (in 
significantly high proportions). Subsequent meta-analysis indicates a 
DNA match with precipitation samples obtained via secondary 
instances of SCP-2198. In response, Senior Researcher Hamlin has 
hypothesised a spatial anomaly between SCP-2596 and an area 
affected by a secondary instance of SCP-2198. 


Using [DATA EXPUNGED], meteorological data has been cross- 
referenced and about 100 locations in central Russia have been 
shortlisted as potential exit points from SCP-2596. 


Usage of SCP-2596 is hypothesised to allow Foundation personnel 


to pinpoint the exact coordinates of the aforementioned exit points. 
However, implementation is currently put on hiatus due to low 
priority and ethical concerns.

SCP-2597: Minus-Two Kilograms 


Item #: SCP-2597 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: In order to prevent a Runaway 
Acceleration Event, SCP-2597 must be contained within a 
vacuumized containment chamber. SCP-2597 must be stored on the 
highest floor of Site 55, in order to minimize damage in the event of 
a breach. SCP-2597 is to be submerged within a container of liquid 
mercury, at sufficient depth that the object maintains neutral 
buoyancy. This is to counteract the force of gravity, and prevent the 
object's escape through the ceiling. 


SCP-2597 is not to contact the walls, ceiling, or floor of its 
containment chamber at any time. Any experimentation involving 
SCP-2597 requires written Level-3 authorization. 


Description: SCP-2597 is a weight, ostensibly designed for use 
with a balance, that behaves as though it possesses negative 
inertial mass. While the object's composition is unknown, it has been 
experimentally determined that the inertial mass of SCP-2597 is 
approximately -2kg, with a density roughly equivalent to that of liquid 
mercury at STP. 


As such, any force applied will result in an acceleration opposite to 
the initial force vector. 


In this way, SCP-2597 will "fall up" under the influence of gravity. 
Furthermore, if SCP-2597 makes contact with any object as it 
ascends, the force of this collision - a force opposing the movement 
of SCP-2597 - will only serve to increase its acceleration. In this 
way, SCP-2597 will break through any barriers placed in its way 
once it has begun to accelerate. 


It has been theorized that collisions with air particles at high speeds 


will cause SCP-2597 to accelerate uncontrollably. This would cause 
the object to reach dangerous speeds very quickly, and could result 
in harm to personnel as well as site infrastructure. 


Addendum: SCP-2597 Recovery Log 


SCP-2597 was found in an apartment belonging to known anartist 
, during investigation of his involvement in the creation of 
SCP-669. The object was contained at time of recovery in a large 
glass jar, filled with liquid mercury. Once its anomalous properties 

were identified, the object was given SCP classification and a 
member of nearby Site 55's recovery division was dispatched to 
recover SCP-2597. 


+ Expand Interview Log 


Interviewed: Agent Gerald _, part of Site 55 
Recovery Team B. 


Foreword: Excerpt from Agent's debrief, 
immediately after the SCP-2597 recovery. This 
log has been edited for brevity. 


<Begin Log> 


Interviewer: | understand you were placed in 
charge of recovery of SCP-2597. 


Agent: Well, not really. Well, at least, | wasn't 
at first. But you know, when the Foundation 
raided that anartist's home, the people there 
contacted the nearest site command, which 
happened to be 55. They sent me down to 
check it out. 


Interviewer: Tell me about recovering the 
object. What was that like? 


Agent: You know, I've worked on recovering 
Keters and stuff. But this? This stupid thing 
was one of the most annoying pieces of shit 


I've ever had to retrieve. 
Interviewer: Why, specifically? 


Agent: This thing... well, you can't just pick it 
up and carry it, it's not that simple. | figured out 
pretty quick - you know, given the way it 
resisted everything | did to it - that if | took a 
vehicle back to base the skip would go flying 
out the back window. This was before we even 
figured out the whole danger with air 
resistance. So | radioed site command to tell 
them | was going to take the thing back myself 
- | didn't really have any other options, | guess. 
Site 55 sent me an escort - just a couple of 
guards to make sure | didn't get lost or 
somehow killed on my way home, but they 
really couldn't do much that was useful. | sure 
wasn't gonna trust anybody else with that skip. 


Interviewer: You mean to say you brought it 
back on foot. 


Agent: Yeah. Had to micromanage the damn 
thing to a ridiculous degree. If | wanted to 
move it forward, | had to simultaneously push 
it backward and walk myself forward, as well 
as pushing it upwards so it didn't fall into the 
sky, but not so much that it pushed my hand 
out of the way... if that makes any sense. | got 
to do that for five miles. We're damned lucky 
the agents already at the recovery site didn't 
touch the skip very much - if they weren't 
careful we could've lost it, or worse. Hell, if I'd 
screwed up just a little bit... 


Interviewer: What exactly do you mean by "or 
worse?" 


Agent: We haven't been quite stupid enough 
to do any testing with regard to what happens 


if you just let the skip go - let it soeed up and 
then get sped up even further by drag. First of 
all, it'd break anything it hits. Maybe kill some 
people. But I'm concerned that there might be 
some more issues with an object moving this 
fast. My personal theory is - well, | read 
something online, about what would happen if 
a baseball travelled at relativistic soeeds. The 
ball fused with the atoms in the air, and 
caused an explosion that wiped out everything 
for miles. | can't help but wonder if something 
similar could happen with this, if it got going 
fast enough. For that reason alone | don't think 
this skip is Safe. Consider this my official 
request for SCP-2597 to be upgraded to Euclid 
status at least. 


<End Log> 


The technique used to contain SCP-2597 at its location of recovery 
was later implemented in the object's current containment. Agent 
's request to upgrade the classification of SCP-2597 was denied.

SCP-2598: Traveling Moth Salesman 


Item #: SCP-2598 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2598 is to be contained in 
a Standard Insectoid Containment Cell at Site 19. This cell is to be 
fitted with a food supply capable of sustaining SCP-2598 indefinitely, 
as well as a hanging light source!. Personnel who wish to interview 
SCP-2598 must first complete 20 hours of training in American 
Morse Code. 


Description: SCP-2598 is a Large Yellow Underwing moth (Noctua 
pronuba) wearing a small helmet. Apart from this, and its behavior, 
no other anomalous characteristics are discernible. 


SCP-2598 is able to communicate with humans by colliding with 
their heads in a pattern consistent with American Morse Code. While 
SCP-2598 is apparently able to hear and understand English, it is 
only able to communicate a return message in this manner. Despite 
having been offered specially-designed automatic translation pads 
with which it could collide, SCP-2598 has thus far seemed either 
unable or unwilling to use any such device. 


During conversation, SCP-2598 will invariably attempt to redirect the 
conversation towards a sales pitch for, specifically, a helmet 
designed for moths. 


Interview 2598-1: The following interview was conducted by Dr. 
Richard Eads, who initially discovered SCP-2598 while on-location 
in [REDACTED]. Dr. Eads was chosen as the Research Team 
Leader because of his efforts in containing SCP-25982, and his 
fluency with Morse code. During this interview, Dr. Eads remained 
seated in SCP-2598's containment cell, while SCP-2598 
communicated to him via its preferred method. All replies were 
transcribed by Dr. Eads. 


authorized. 


« SCP-290 | SCP-291 | SCP-292 » 


Dr. Eads: Can you hear and understand me alright, 
SCP-2598? 


SCP-2598: YES HELLO DOCTOR | CAN HEAR YOU 
JUST FINE THANKS TO THE SOUND AMPLIFYING 
TECHNOLOGY OF MOTH HELM 


Dr. Eads: Excellent. Now, SCP-2598, could you tell me 
anything about where you originated from? 


SCP-2598: | WAS ONCE LIKE YOU DOCTOR AND 
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE OUT THERE WITH NO 
PURPOSE IN MY LIFE UNTIL | DISCOVERED THE 
BEAUTY OF MOTH HELM ALSO SAFE FOR 
CHILDREN NO CHANCE OF GETTING STUCK IN 
THROATS 


Dr. Eads: | see. So you're saying that you were unable 
to comprehend spoken language, or communicate as 
you can now, before you came into possession of the 
helmet? 


SCP-2598: IT WAS LIKE A DOOR BEING OPENED 
BEFORE ME DOCTOR AND | COULD SEE THE LIGHT 
IT WAS ALL POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF MOTH HELM 
WHICH YOU YOURSELF CAN OWN TODAY FOR AS 
LITTLE AS THREE EASY PAYMENTS OF NINETEEN 
NINETY NINE 


Dr. Eads: You're aware, of course, that | could not 
possibly wear such a helmet? It's far too small. 


SCP-2598 pauses for twenty seconds, is observed 
spinning counterclockwise around its containment cell 
light. 


SCP-2598: YES BUT PERHAPS YOU HAVE SOME 
MOTH FRIENDS WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM THE 
TRANSCENDANT POWER OF MOTH HELM ALSO IS 
A GREAT STOCKING STUFFER

SCP-2599: Not Good Enough 


Item #: SCP-2599 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2599 is to be contained in 
a standard humanoid containment cell in Site 118’s Delta Wing. 
Personnel interacting with SCP-2599 are not allowed to speak to it 
outside of testing. 


Instructions given to SCP-2599 must be phrased in terms of a 
suggestion, as this does not trigger either of SCP-2599's anomalous 
effects. Direct orders are not to be given outside of testing. 


In order to maintain discipline, SCP-2599 must be ordered ona 
weekly basis to forget portions of its memory regarding its time 
spent with the Foundation. This order should specify a period of time 
greater than the amount of time that SCP-2599 believes that it has 
been confined, in order to avoid its secondary effect. 


All testing with SCP-2599 must be done through a one-way PA 
system for safety purposes. Personnel are no longer permitted to 
order SCP-2599 using paradoxes without express permission from 
the current supervisor of SCP-2599 and the site director. 


Description: SCP-2599 is a 14-year-old female of Korean descent, 
formerly known as Zena Cho. SCP-2599’s anomalous effect has two 
components. 


SCP-2599’s primary anomalous effect is a mental compulsion that 
causes it to be unable to disobey any direct commands. This effect 
is contingent on SCP-2599’s perception that it has received a 
command; should it not believe that it is receiving a command, it will 
not be compelled to follow it. 


This effect currently has no known limits, and SCP-2599 has 


followed orders including self-harm, violence towards others, and 
other undesirable actions. SCP-2599 possesses a 0 on the Psychic 
Resistance Scale, currently the lowest recorded score on file. 


SCP-2599’s secondary anomalous effect is its inability to fully carry 
out any given command. This effect causes SCP-2599 to fulfill most 
aspects of any command directed towards it, but it is unable to 
complete all requested components of the command, or does not 
complete the command satisfactorily. 


Rigorous testing has concluded that this effect is involuntary, and is 
not motivated out of any desire for rebellion or dissatisfaction with 
commands that it has been given. SCP-2599 has been unable to 
complete commands even when it has wished to do so, due to its 
secondary effect. Once SCP-2599 is ordered to perform a certain 
action, it is no longer capable of successfully completing that action 
in the future, even if it was previously capable of doing so. This 
effect can be overridden with a successive command. 


SCP-2599’s secondary effect allows SCP-2599 to perform other 
anomalous effects as well, though only under the direct wording of a 
command. The outcome of this testing is included in Document 
2599-Alpha. 


Document 2599-Alpha: The following is a testing log concerning 
SCP-2599. Personnel conducting tests with SCP-2599 should 
consult Dr. Wensley before appending this log. Use of SCP-894 by 
personnel and D-class has been approved to prevent unwanted 
activation of SCP-2599's effect. Testing of SCP-2599 with additional 
anomalies is approved on a case by case basis. 


Given Command: SCP-2599 is presented with 3 blocks, 
and is ordered to pick them up. 

Outcome: SCP-2599 picks up 2 blocks, and is confused 
as to why it is unable to pick up the third. When asked to 
pick up the third block, it picks it up halfway before 
dropping it. 


Given Command: SCP-2599 is handed a United States 
quarter coin, and is ordered to flip the coin so that it only 
lands on heads. 


Outcome: SCP-2599 causes the coin to land on its 
edge. This repeats itself 24 times before testing is 
concluded. 

Notes: Evidently, when given a “Pass/Fail” type of 
option, SCP-2599 is incapable of doing anything that 
would be perceived as “failing” the command. It will 
actively attempt to do something that is more correct 
than failing the command entirely. -Dr. Wensley 


Given Command: SCP-2599 is ordered to play 
Paganini’s 24 Caprices without incorrectly playing a 
single note. SCP-2599 has no prior experience with 
playing the violin. 

Outcome: SCP-2599 successfully performs the first five 
sixths of the piece, but is unable to complete the last 
sixth. 

Notes: We tried this one multiple times, with different 
pieces and instruments. Every time, SCP-2599 
successfully played a different percentage of the piece. 
Concluding that there’s no true pattern here. -Dr. 
Wensley 


Given Command: SCP-2599 is given a knife, and is 
ordered to stab D-28091 in the heart and kill the subject. 
Outcome: SCP-2599 manages to stab D-28091 in the 
heart, but does so in a region of necrotic tissue resulting 
from a prior heart attack in D-28091, while 
simultaneously failing to penetrate the right atrial 
chamber below the necrotic region. 


Given Command: SCP-2599 is ordered to turn a piece 
of paper from white to blue. 

Outcome: SCP-2599 changes the paper’s color to 
purple after tapping the paper. 

Notes: We’re still not exactly sure how SCP-2599 
managed to change the color. High-speed cameras ona 
200 million frames per second speed couldn't register 
how it happened. As soon as its finger touched the 
paper, it changed color. It doesn’t even know how it did 
it. -Dr. Wensley 


Given Command: SCP-2599 is ordered to fly. 
Outcome: SCP-2599 manages to jump 5 meters in the 
air, but is unable to sustain flight. SCP-2599 suffers 
injuries upon impact with the ground. 


Given Command: SCP-2599 is ordered to heal its 
injuries from the previous test.
