SCP-1606: Memory Loss 


Item #: SCP-1606 
Object Class: Euclid-exsequi 


Special Containment Procedures: The property on which 
SCP-1606 was built is owned by the Foundation under the 
pseudonym Duane Schmidt. Two agents are to reside in SCP-1606 
to provide basic security and to discourage unauthorized persons 
from entering the building, given the cover identities Duane and 
Elizabeth Schmidt. Personnel may not enter SCP-1606-2 under any 
circumstances. Persons entering SCP-1606-2 may be left there 
indefinitely. 


Description: SCP-1606 is a white, two-story wooden house built in 
1897 in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. SCP-1606 is in a state of 
moderate disrepair, with two windows broken, the majority of 
stationary surfaces covered in approximately 0.8mm of dust, and 
multiple holes in the walls. The building has remained in this 
condition since the Foundation's recovery of the item in 1977; no 
degradation whatsoever has been noted in SCP-1606 despite a lack 
of actions taken to counteract this. Further, no attempts at repairing 
or cleaning SCP-1606 have been effective, with any changes made 
becoming undone almost immediately after completion of the task. 


SCP-1606-1 is an entity that takes the form of a middle-aged 
Caucasian female identified as Marissa Schmidt, a lifetime resident 
and native of Chippewa Falls born in 1923. SCP-1606-1 possesses 
the memories and personality of Marissa Schmidt as of June 1, 
19771; however, it is restricted to SCP-1606. Any attempts to 
remove SCP-1606-1 from the premises have resulted in its 
disappearance and manifestation inside SCP-1606, with no memory 
past June 1, 1977. SCP-1606-1 has never expressed the desire to 
leave SCP-1606, nor has it been able to provide a satisfactory 
explanation for the anomalous properties of SCP-1606. SCP-1606-1 
does not appear to require sustenance or sleep, and poses no threat 


to personnel. 


The top floor of SCP-1606, designated SCP-1606-2, consists of a 
bathroom and bedroom, connected by a hallway to a staircase that 
leads to the ground floor. Persons entering SCP-1606-2 suffer 
irreversible, ongoing short-term memory losses that render the 
voluntary exit of SCP-1606-2 impossible. Subjects affected in this 
manner will frequently become lost when moving within or between 
rooms; any attempts by the subject to form a plan of action fail when 
the subject forgets any resolution they may have made to do so. 
Subjects are also unable to follow instructions or communicate 
effectively with each other or with other persons. Removal of 
subjects from SCP-1606-2 is impossible without the use of 
automated or remotely-operated systems. Retrieved subjects lack 
the ability to form new memories and exhibit extensive long- and 
short-term memory loss. 


Despite lacking the mental faculties to eat or drink should food and/ 
or beverages be provided to them, subjects exposed to SCP-1606-2 
live approximately three months before dying. This is assumed to be 
an anomalous effect of SCP-1606. Should a subject expire in 
SCP-1606-2, their corpse will disappear. On occasions in which 
SCP-1606-2 is vacant, previous subjects who have died there will 
appear at random intervals, exhibiting behavior typical of 
SCP-1606-2 victims. 


Addendum 1606-1: Three photos and one nine-second video 
fragment taken inside SCP-1606-2 have shown the presence of an 
elderly man; no such person has been confirmed to exist in 
SCP-1606-2. SCP-1606-1 has identified this individual as Donald 
Schmidt, her father. Unremarkable public records of Donald Schmidt 
exist; however, no additional records have been created since April 
1958. SCP-1606-1 claims that Donald Schmidt suffers from 
Alzheimer's disease, and will insist that he resides in the upper 
bedroom of SCP-1606 despite evidence to the contrary. 


Footnotes 

1. Marissa Schmidt entered SCP-1606-2 on this date; SCP-1606 
was contained two months later, with Marissa Schmidt expiring one 
month after that.

SCP-1607: Culture Generator 


Item #: SCP-1607 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The area containing SCP-1607 
is to be surrounded by a perimeter of three (3) meter tall electrical 
fencing, which is to be patrolled by security personnel. No 
individuals manifested by SCP-1607's anomalous properties are to 
be allowed to leave SCP-1607. 


Upon the manifestation of a new population, if it is judged safe, a 
diplomatic envoy is to be sent into SCP-1607 to discourage the 
population from leaving SCP-1607 for the duration of the month. An 
armed response is to be prepared for the beginning of each month 
in order to combat any potentially hostile populations. 


Description: SCP-1607 is a settlement located in Southwest 
Alaska, the appearance, size and residing population of which 
changes radically at periodic intervals. It has shown the potential to 
range in form from a small series of tribal villages to a settlement the 
size of a large town. The architectural style and culture of SCP-1607 
typically bears little resemblance to any known civilization, although 
on occasion it has presented itself as a deviation of a historical one. 


At the beginning of each month, SCP-1607 will generate a new 
settlement, changing its own size, architectural style and the societal 
structure of its population. The topography of the region surrounding 
SCP-1607 has also been known to change, although this is a rare 
occurrence. At the end of each month, this new settlement will 
spontaneously disappear only to be replaced by a newly generated 
one. As of yet, SCP-1607 has not manifested the same settlement 
twice. 


It is currently unknown if SCP-1607 is actually transporting existing 
settlements via what could be extra-dimensional means or simply 


altering itself to present the illusion of different cultures. Individuals 
generated by SCP-1607 claim that this first explanation is correct 
and have on occasion provided a wide range of information 
regarding their 'home' civilization (See Interview 1607-1), but there is 
no way to verify that this information is actually true. 


Settlement Log 1607-1: 


A record of SCP-1607's monthly alterations taken over the year 
2009. The following is a brief summary. For more in depth 
information about a generated settlement, see Document 1607-09. 


Month Settiement information 

January A culture based upon the 
concepts of human sacrifice and 
prosthetic enhancement. 
Architecture showed considerable 
influence from the historical Aztec 
civilization. The culture showed a 
similar level of technology to that 
civilization, apart from in the field 
of prosthesis, where they showed 
considerable prowess. 

February A population of warlike tribal 
mathematicians. It considered the 
solving of complex equations as 
both a show of strength and as a 
proving ritual for youth. Despite 
their mathematical prowess, they 
displayed primitive levels of 
technology and so their initial 
aggression only caused negligible 
disruption to containment. 

March A culture based around the 
worship of artificial polymers, 
which was also their main building 
material. The factories in 
SCP-1607 producing these were 
considered holy places by the 
temples. A mannequin was

presented to the culture as a 
diplomatic gift, which they 
accepted. 

A population which purported to 
be ruled by the corpse of their 
leader, who had apparently been 
dead for several hundred years. 
In efforts to mimic their leader, 
many individuals inside 
SCP-1607 dressed in rotting 
clothes and wore cosmetics to 
make themselves more 
corpselike. Being buried alive was 
considered to be a great honor 
extended to the elderly and sick, 
and was strictly voiuntary. 

A settlement in which the 
successor to a deceased ruler 
would adopt their name and go 
through cosmetic surgery in order 
to resemble that ruler. During 
manifestation, the culture was 
experiencing a crisis in which the 
twin brother of the previous ruler, 
who resembled them without the 
use of cosmetic surgery, was 
disputing the claim of the lawful 
successor to leadership of the 
culture. Some hostile action was 
required to prevent disruption of 
containment. 

A population devoted to the 
building of massive wooden 
structures, followed by the 
burning of said structures as a 
sacrifice to their gods. Painful 
burns were considered to be a 
mark of class. Criminals were 
executed via drowning. 

A population devoted to

October 


worshiping other members of said 
culture. Individuals would pray 
and offer sacrifices to other 
individuals, while these acts were 
performed for them by others. 
Every building in SCP-1607 was 
considered a temple to an 
individual member of the 
population. 

A population which purported to 
be highly peaceful and pacifistic. 
Structures and clothing were 
made from the byproducts of the 
naturally deceased, while those 
who did not follow the culture's 
laws were dropped into one of 
several pits located in SCP-1607. 
A population devoted to the 
worship of three-hundred and 
sixty five (365) different deities. 
Each day was considered to be a 
different holy day, each requiring 
several different rituals to be 
performed. The population 
appeared to be suffering from 
exhaustion at the time of 
manifestation. 

A population which considered 
the sense of sight to be sinful, 
and so blinded all citizens on their 
fifth birthday. Religious leaders 
came to a power through a 
process where they underwent 
surgery to render themselves 
deaf as well as blind. As a 
diplomatic gift, the population of 
SCP-1607 presented the 
diplomatic envoy with a box of 
human eyeballs, claiming that it 
was ‘proof of their sanctity’.

Interview Log 1607-1 


Interviewer: Dr. 


A population which apparently 
considered anything that was not 
part of the culture to be 
nonexistent. During the sending 
of a diplomatic envoy, all 
individuals the envoy attempted to 
contact ignored them and averted 
their gaze. 

A population of primitive 
tribesmen who repeatedly asked 
envoys why they had lost contact 
with 'The Ones in the Skies’. They 
resided in simple wooden huts 
and used primitive tools. After 
several hours of this questioning, 
the tribesmen resolved to wait for 
‘The Ones in the Skies' and 
gathered in a primitive meeting 
hall. They remained in this 
meeting hall for several days, 
neglecting their bodily needs until 
they eventually died of thirst. 


Interviewed: 'Dalen Dalenbrend' (According to 
Dalenbrend, ‘Dalen, Brother of Dalen’) 


Foreword: Interview conducted in May, 2009. At the time, 
SCP-1607 had become a culture in which the successor 
to a deceased ruler would adopt their name and go 
through cosmetic surgery in order to resemble that ruler 
and assume leadership. What follows is a transcript of a 


meeting between Dr. 


, the designated diplomatic 


envoy and Dalen Dalenbrend, the twin brother of the 
previous ruler of the culture who had usurped leadership 
from his nephew, ‘Dalen Dalenserd'. Some violent action 
was still occuring in SCP-1607 at the time of the 


interview. 


<Begin Interview> 
Dr. _: Thank you for agreeing to meet me. 


Dalenbrend: | expect answers. Where are 
we? Why have you taken us to this place, man 
of the snow?! Who are you, a devil or a 
devilserd? 


Dr. :MynameisDr. _ ,and!|represent an 
organisation called the SCP Foundation. Now, 
| understand your people have experienced an 
incident, and | just want to tell you we can fix it. 
We will need a month or so, but it should be 
possible. 


Dalenbrend: Your 'incident' has done some 
good, at least. My nephew was not prepared 
for this, he is not as adaptable as me and my 
men. We hunt him down like the child he is! 


Dr. __: Now, if we are to return you to where 
you belong, we are going to need some 
information on it. Can you tell me about 
surrounding settlements, continents, anything? 


Dalenbrend: To the north is the Den of Skins, 
where |, Dalen the Skinner, punished my 
enemies two hundred years ago - 


Dr. _: Pardon? Two hundred years ago? 


Dalenbrend: Yes, my great-grandferd, Dalen 
the Skinner, who is me from many times ago, 
took his traitorous uncle Dalen the False and 
skinned him alive in front of his captured men. 
His skin still hangs there, as a symbol to my 
enemies. Perhaps | will skin my nephew as 
well. 


Dr. _: Anything else? 


Dalenbrend: Across the sea are the Hollow 
Places, where kings took their own names and 
worshiped spider gods. *laughs* Until my 
grandferd, Dalen the True, who is me, sailed 
across the ocean and put an end to it. | gutted 
their kings and smashed their spider idols! 


Dr. :1just need assurance from you, then, 
that you'll Keep your people within the 
settlement. It's not safe outside, there are 
many dangerous beasts. 


Dalenbrend: Very well. But | expect this act to 
be undone in a month, man of the snow. | do 
not wish to be Dalen the Cold. 


<End Interview>
