Experiment 387-c-2: A single block of SCP-387 is placed within the 
red tub. It does not replicate. More of SCP-387 is added until the 
bottom layer is covered, at which point it began to replicate itself 
quite rapidly until it had been filled. The amount of SCP-387 
removed from the tub continued to work. Similarly, when an amount 
of SCP-387 higher than the tub’s capacity was placed upon the tub, 
it shrank until the red tub was fully filled. 


Addendum 387-3: /t appears that the red tub itself has no abilities by 
itself, but SCP-387 will not duplicate itself unless in that particular 
tub. Perhaps this is a copyright mechanism that stops copies of 387 
being made. Further experimentation needed. — Dr. Arch 


Experiment 387-d: A robotic arm was used to construct a car out of 
387. It did not animate. This test was repeated with a human hand, 
at which point the car animated as usual. A dead hand from a 
recently-dismembered Agent was used, to no response. The hand 
was then heated, which still provoked no response. 


+ Timeline 


Ten years, four months ago: The Foundation 
detects a temporal anomaly affecting the baseline 
branch of causality. Investigation commences. 


Ten years, one month ago: The cause of the 
temporal anomaly is determined to be Agent 
Graeme, at thirty-five years of age. He has used 
an unknown, single-use anomalous object to travel 
back in time, with the purpose of recovering 
SCP-3096. At this time, there are two versions of 
Agent Graeme; one older and one younger (at 
twenty-five years of age). The younger version is 
not made aware of his counterpart's presence. 


Ten years ago: The older Agent Graeme recovers 
SCP-3096 and submits it to Foundation custody. 
He requests that this action be dubbed Operation 
Repulsion. 


Nine years, ten months ago: The interview 
documented in Interview Log 3096-Alpha is 
conducted. 


Nine years, five months ago: At the 
recommendation of the older Agent Graeme, 
SCP-3096 is exposed to an Einstein-Palsdottir 
Temporal Field (EPTF). The EPTF generator is set 
with a temporal coefficient of +0.9875.3 


Six years, one week ago: One of the redundant 
EPTF generators disappears from the containment 
chamber under unknown circumstances. It is 
quickly replaced, and containment is not breached. 


Six years ago: The older Agent Graeme 
disappears under unknown circumstances.4 The 
younger Agent Graeme is briefed on the contents 
of this document and transported to his current 
residence at Protected Site- . 


¢« Seven months ago: Based on recommendations 
given by the older Agent Graeme before his 
disappearance, the EPTF generator is reset with a 
temporal coefficient of +1.0125.5 This is its current 
setting. 


* Now: SCP-3096 is in containment. 


Five months in the future: An unknown 
anomalous object enters the Foundation's 
possession, allowing the younger Agent Graeme 
to travel back in time to the beginning of this 
timeline. Details about the exact nature of this 
object were withheld by the older Agent Graeme. 


¢ Six months in the future: The younger Agent 
Graeme, at thirty-five years of age, is dispatched 
on Operation Repulsion. 


+ Interview Log 3096-Alpha 


The following interview was conducted nine 
years and ten months ago. 


Interviewer: Dr. Palsdottir, Foundation 
Temporal Mechanics 


Subject: Agent Graeme (Older) 
[BEGIN LOG] 


Dr. Palsdottir: Why is this item contained in 
the first place? 


Agent Graeme: | can see how that would be 
confusing. But it's a magnet, right? 


Dr. Palsdottir: Right. 


Agent Graeme: It's not only a three- 
dimensional magnet. It's, um, also attracted to 
the future version of itself, if that makes sense. 


Dr. Palsdottir: |'m not sure | follow. 


Agent Graeme: | can make some diagrams, if 
you want.6 


Dr. Palsdottir: That would be helpful. 


Agent Graeme: But what we need to worry 
about is what happens when the present and 
future SCP-3096 meet in the middle. 


Dr. Palsdottir: And what happens then? 


Agent Graeme: It ties causality into a knot. Or 
a loop, maybe. Our timeline ends— 


Dr. Palsdottir: Our branch of causality, you 
mean. 


Agent Graeme: Yes, our branch of causality 
ends, and folds in on itself. Imagine the planet 
Earth moving back into the past, again and 
again and again. Every atom of matter in the 
universe will do the same. 


Dr. Palsdottir: And what, fill the universe with 
an infinite amount of matter in no time at all? 


Agent Graeme: Exactly. Plus an infinite 
amount of energy. 


Dr. Palsdottir: | don't think I've ever seen a 
temporal anomaly quite like that. How do we 
even begin to contain it? 


Agent Graeme: Well, if | recall correctly, 
you're working on something related right now. 
Speeding things up and slowing them down in 
time, right? 


Dr. Palsdottir: | am. 


Agent Graeme: Not that | know how it works, 
but in the future where | come from, we slowed 
down the present— no, past— no, earlier 
version of the magnet by one eightieth, and we 
speed up the future version by the same 
amount. We'll call that effect an "Einstein- 
Palsdottir Temporal Field." 


Dr. Palsdottir: Where did you get that 
number? One eightieth? 


Agent Graeme: Some kind of paradox, where 
else? 


Dr. Palsdottir: Fair.

SCP-3097: A Game Of Fetch 


Item #: SCP-3097 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3097 is contained in a 
standard anomalous item locker. Testing of SCP-3097 is to take 
place explicitly indoors as to avoid any significant damage its effects 
may cause to surrounding or distant locations. SCP-3097 is to be 
reduced to a manageable size before re-containment after testing. 


All dogs used in the experimentation of SCP-3097 are to be selected 
from the Foundation's animal testing subject enclosure and to have 
been given strict obedience training. Instances are to be subdued 
with long-range tranquillizers in the unlikely event of refusing to obey 
staff. 


Description: SCP-3097 is a common alder tree branch, kept at an 
approximate length of 60cm when contained. When thrown by a 
human subject, SCP-3097 will increase in size as it propels through 
the air until eventually landing. While in midair, SCP-3097 will 
continue to resize itself so that it remains the same size as it visually 
appeared when originally perceived from the thrower's foreground 
perspective; i.e. the closer SCP-3097 appears to the thrower, the 
larger it will grow the further the distance it travels; as such, the size 
of SCP-3097 will also decrease when thrown by someone towards 
themselves. 


Addendum 3097-1: On 27/06/2016, it was discovered that the 
anomalous properties of SCP-3097 also affect any dog which 
attempts to chase after it when thrown. As of this date, several 
breeds of dog have been tested with SCP-3097, all of which have 
been affected. Dogs altered in size by SCP-3097 continue to 
function with no difficulties due to an apparent condition acquired 
from their alteration in size, bearing similarities to the "Forbes 
effect". Instances of dog do not experience any apparent 


physiological changes after significant growth or shrinking, other 
than visible confusion brought on by their alterations. 


Level 2 Clearance Required 


Addendum 3097-2: On 13/08/20 a total of 
[REDACTED] dogs which experienced significant growth 
from the effects of SCP-3097 were able to breach 
containment due to several complications which 
occurred during testing. Re-containment of all escaped 
instances henceforth referred as SCP-3097-B (several 
species of Welsh corgi measuring up to meters), is to 
be accomplished before further testing with other breeds 
of dog. 


Update: As of 03/05/20 , a majority of SCP-3097-B 
instances have been re-contained. There are currently 
no feasible means of reverting instances back to a 
manageable size, due to their weight, size and the 
functionality of SCP-3097’s anomalous properties. The 
unmanageable size and cost of containing instances of 
SCP-3097-B have resulted in the suggestion for 
immediate neutralization of a majority of instances. 


Addendum 3097-3: Recent consultations with the 
Foundation Ethics Committee has lead to an alternate 
proposal for managing the contained instances of 
SCP-3097-B. Due to maintenance requirements and 
significant fuel costs of several on-site construction 
vehicles, required for the transportation of critical building 
materials, and the trained obedience of SCP-3097-B 
instances, the use of instances as a more efficient and 
cost-effective alternative means of transportation has 
been approved for several sites. 


SCP-3098: Triviality 


Item #: SCP-3098 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All maritime traffic is to be 
diverted from the waters in a 10-kilometer radius around SCP-3098. 
An acoustically insulating shell is to be installed around SCP-3098. 
Maintenance to this shell is to be undertaken once every two years. 
Efforts are to be made to approach SCP-3098-1 and gain a better 
understanding of its functionality. Direct contact with SCP-3098 is 
strictly prohibited. Images of the Martian surface gathered by civilian 
or government organizations are to be monitored and, if necessary, 
altered in order to conceal the presence of SCP-3098-1. 


Civilian and government expeditions in the vicinities of SCP-3098 
and SCP-3098-1 are to be monitored by Foundation personnel. 
Information pertaining to SCP-3098 and SCP-3098-1 is to be 
suppressed. Plausible explanations for the appearances and effects 
of SCP-3098 and SCP-3098-1 are to be provided in the case of an 
information leak. These include the presence of undiscovered 
animal species, debris from human activity, or geological activity. 


Description: SCP-3098 is a niobium structure attached to the 
ocean floor. It is located at 46.2° S, 15.3° E, off the coast of South 
Africa, at a depth of 3,904 meters. The structure is reminiscent of a 
radio antenna, and is about 4 meters tall. When in the presence of 
sounds in excess of 80 decibels, SCP-3098 will begin to vibrate, 
producing a sound of pressure level 250 decibels and average 
frequency 17 Hertz. Due to its low frequency, this sound is able to 
propagate across a large fraction of the world’s oceans before 
becoming undetectable, with a theoretical range of about 35,000 
kilometers. The sound produced by SCP-3098 has no anomalous 
effects on living beings exposed to it, though cetacean populations 
in the southern hemisphere and beyond may become distressed. 


SCP-3098 will absorb any organic matter that comes into contact 
with it. SCP-3098 gains 0.39 centimeters of height for every 100 

kilograms of absorbed material. This process does not appear to 
effect SCP-3098 analogs in any way. 


SCP-3098-1 is a metal structure identical in shape to SCP-3098, 
located on Mars at 45.6°S, 60° E, in Hellas Planita. It is about 50 
meters tall. Activity in SCP-3098 appears to immediately trigger 
similar activity in SCP-3098-1, though the limitations of modern 
reconnaissance and communication technologies prevent full 
certainty in the order and timing of events. Vibrations produced by 
SCP-3098-1 when active appear to have a much greater amplitude 
than those produced by SCP-3098, and have been shown to 
produce very minor marsquakes. The frequency of vibration is 
believed to be identical to that of SCP-3098. 


Sound sample produced by SCP-3098 


The following is a hydrophone recording of the sound produced by 
SCP-3098. It has been modified so that the average frequency is 
240 Hertz. 


Addendum 3098-1: Discovery 


SCP-3098 was first observed by the crew of the USNS Eltanin in 
1964, as a part of normal research operations. Images taken by the 
crew were released to the public before Foundation operatives could 
investigate. The item was rapidly found and contained, and the 
images were explained as a specimen of carnivorous sponge, of the 
species Cladorhiza concrescens. SCP-3098-1 was discovered by 
the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft in 2006. Foundation operatives 
were able to intercept communications with the spacecraft before 
any compromising images were successfully processed. A system 
failure was staged to prevent further investigation by NASA. 


Addendum 3098-2: Pending Changes to Special Containment 
Procedures 


On 11-08-2021, the BepiColombo spacecraft discovered an 
unexplained structure above the Venusian cloud layer. Though the 


resolution of the images were too low to properly identify the 
structure, it is suspected that this structure is analogous to 
SCP-3098. 


On 23-10-2022, the crew of the SCPF Yahaayi discovered a 5-meter 
tall analog of SCP-3098 at 46.2°N 164.7°W on Earth, the precise 
antipode of the location of SCP-3098. A request for a change to the 
Special Containment Procedures has been filed, proposing the use 
of Foundation resources to search for more SCP-3098 analogs. As 
of 10-2-2030, no further SCP-3098 analogs have been found. 


Addendum 3098-3: Incident 3098-1 


On 01-12-2030, all known SCP-3098 analogs were observed to 
become active simultaneously, without any known stimulus. The 
produced sound had a constant frequency, at 15 Hertz. The cause 
of this event has not been ascertained. 


Addendum 3098-4: Letter from Senior Researcher Wojcik 
+ Enter Level 4 credentials. 
To my successor, 


| apologize for the inevitable feelings of 
disappointment that will come with this 
position. | recommend you accept that you 
will probably not find any answers in your 
time here. I’ve already tried everything in my 
twenty years overseeing research into 
SCP-3098, and what you’ve read is all there 
is. 


The sounds don’t seem to be coded, just 
random noise. It definitely isn’t playing back 
what it hears. In fact, it doesn’t seem to be 
playing anything at all. As far as we can tell, 
it's made entirely out of solid niobium. No 
internal workings, no hollow spaces inside. 
We dug underneath it when we were 
installing the shell, and we found the node 


that attached it to the sea floor. It’s about the 
size of an oil barrel. When | saw it, | thought 
we'd finally cracked the mystery. | was 
certain the acoustic analysis would find an 
engine or something. Hell, | would have 
been happy if it was made of copper instead 
of niobium. But no, it turned out to be an 
inert anchor, solid niobium like the rest of 
the structure. 


It doesn’t produce radiation, no secretions, 
nothing except for the sound. Back in 1998, 
we did some emission spectrometry tests on 
the antenna. We found it’s composed almost 
entirely of 92 Nb, at about 0.9 molar fraction. 
The rest was zirconium with traces of 
molybdenum. This was probably the most 
exciting thing we’d ever done; we were 
getting some real science! With those 
numbers, | estimated that SCP-3098 was 
about 5.2 million years old. That should 
have added some intrigue, piqued the 
interest of one of the higher ups. It wasn’t 
even added to the documentation. They said 
it was something about uncertainty, what 
with all the unknown variables.
