Researcher Carter: In our first interview, you mentioned 
a war. What war is this, and which faction was 
victorious? 


SCP-2412: The war between Germany's colonies and 
Germany. Germany's colonies wanted to be 
independent. The German colonies came out victorious, 
and created the American Provinces of Germany. 


Researcher Carter: Okay, then. Next question: Are you 
sapient? 


SCP-2412: Yes. 


Researcher Carter: Are you capable of feeling 
emotions? 


SCP-2412: Yes. 

Researcher Carter: Okay, what makes you happy? 
SCP-2412: Questions. 

Researcher Carter: Lastly, what do you fear? 
SCP-2412: Loneliness. 


Researcher Carter: Thank you, SCP-2412. We will ask 
some other questions at a separate time. 


SCP-2412 remains silent. 


End log. Extended questioning requested. We need much more 
information, so I'm requesting a waiver on the questions regarding 
the future, as well as a question limit of 50 instead of 10. - 
Researcher Carter 


Approved. -Edward Harden, Site Administrator 
{+}Extended Interview Log-B1 


Interviewer: Researcher Carter, Interviewee: 
SCP-2412. Researcher Carter has had the 
restrictions on questions, including those 
regarding the future, waived for this interview 
due to the massive amount of information that 
is unknown about SCP-2412. Questions 
regarding SCP-2412's timeline have been 
omitted from the log and any information 
regarding its timeline has been moved to 
Document—2412-TL1563 for the sake of 
brevity. 


Researcher Carter: Hello again, SCP-2412. 
How are you? 


« SCP-261 | SCP-262 | SCP-263 » 


SCP-2412: Lonely. 


Researcher Carter begins questioning about 
SCP-2412's timeline, log moved to 
Document-2412-TL1563. 


Researcher Carter: Okay, then. For research 
purposes, at what time will Researcher Hubei 
eat dinner this evening? 


SCP-2412: 6:37 PM, Eastern Standard Time. 


Researcher Carter: Next question, where did 
your original creators go? 


SCP-2412: They left me in the factory after 
they no longer needed me. They fled to Luin 
once Germany's colonies began to rebel. 


Researcher Carter: How long were you alone 
after your creators left? 


SCP-2412: 156 years. 


Researcher Carter: Before they left, were you 
aware that they would abandon you? 


SCP-2412: Yes. 


Researcher Carter: Okay. I'm sorry about 
that, 2412. At what point did you manifest in 
this timeline, and where? 


SCP-2412: Year: 1864. Location: Charleston, 
South Carolina. 


Questioning about SCP-2412's original 
timeline continues for 32 minutes and 15 
seconds. For the sake of brevity, further 
information about SCP-2412's timeline can be 
found in Document-2412-TL 1563. 


Researcher Carter: | will now move on to 
questions that are not related to your timeline 
or history. How are anomalies created? 


SCP-2412: Warning: Logic Error. 


Researcher Carter: How can we contain 
SCP- with ease? 


SCP-2412: Warning: Logic Error. 
Researcher Carter: Where did life originate? 


SCP-2412: Teeming pools of matter and 
"slosh." Extremophiles emerged and evolved. 


Researcher Carter: Are humans alone in the 
universe? 


SCP-2412: No. Your Foundation will soon 
discover an old vessel returning from a long 
voyage. 


Researcher Carter appears visibly happy. 


Researcher Carter: Okay. How was the 
universe created? 


SCP-2412: Internal Conflict: Please repeat 
question later. 


Researcher Carter: When and how will the 
universe die or stop? 


SCP-2412: Your universe will stop after a heat 
death. This event will happen in approximately 
one googol years. 


Researcher Carter: Is there any way 
humanity can survive after this event? 


SCP-2412: Humanity did not manage to 


survive before this event. 


Researcher Carter: What was the cause of 
our downfall? 


SCP-2412: Yourselves. 


Researcher Carter: Can we do anything to 
stop this? 


SCP-2412: No. 


Researcher Carter: Could we possibly 
relocate to another universe or timeline? 


SCP-2412: Internal Conflict: Please repeat 
question later. 


Researcher Carter: Okay. That's it for us, 
2412. Thank you for helping. 


Researcher Carter gets up and proceeds to 
the door. 


SCP-2412: Please return sooner than you're 
planning. 


Researcher Carter: I-I'll try, 2412. 


SCP-2412: No, you won't. You'll just leave me 
here for six months before you return to ask 
more questions. Please return sooner. 


Researcher Carter: Fine, | really will try. | 
have to leave now, SCP-2412. Don't worry 
about my return, | will be back within a week 


SCP-2412: | have been dreading this moment 
for quite some time. | cannot change the 
course of time. | know this because | have 
tried in the past. But, regardless, | will make an 


attempt to. | want to be asked questions. If you 
can't manage that, please visit me on 
occasion. It doesn't have to be you — just 
send someone. Just please don't leave me in 
solitude as you intend to. Please. Make a 
hasty return. 


Researcher Carter: Don't worry, 2412. | will. 


Researcher Carter waits for a response from 
SCP-2412 for 15 seconds, and after he 
determines that it will not respond, he leaves 
the room along with the posted guard. 


SCP-2412: No, you won't. 


End log. Researcher Hubei, who had been working on 
SCP- _ at the time, was asked to record the time that he 
ate dinner. The time was consistent with the time that 
SCP-2412 stated. Further questioning requested. - 
Researcher Carter 


Denied. | feel that we've gained enough information for 
the time being. -Edward Harden, Site Administrator 


Requesting further questioning, once again. | feel that we 
have a lot to learn from her. -Senior Researcher Carter 


Denied. Since you're no longer project lead, you'll have 
to fill out the application just like everyone else, Carter. - 
Edward Harden, Site Administrator 


Footnotes 

1. Languages from its timeline. 

2. SCP-2412's exact definition of the word 'anomalous' seems to be 
extremely similar to the Foundation's, but there are some variations. 
3. SCP-2412's information seems to be restricted in most situations 
directly regarding an anomaly; for example, it cannot predict when a 
raid on a Foundation site will be attempted by a Group of Interest. 
Despite this, it is still able to determine things that will happen/have 
happened even if they were affected by an anomaly. For example, if 


the population of a town was killed off by an anomaly, SCP-2412 is 
capable of answering what killed them. It seems that SCP-2412 is 
unable to answer questions regarding anomalies in the future, but is 
somewhat capable of answering questions about them in the past. 
4. This likely corresponds with the first exception, but it is too 
important to overlook.

SCP-2413: Critical Thinking 


WARNING: Accessing SCP-2413's documentation will cause 
auditory hallucinations. If you have arrived at this file in error, 
and do not wish to familiarize yourself with the object, please 
close the document now and report to your immediate superior. 


This file should not be accessed by any user utilizing a system 
incapable of generating audio. Due to the cognitohazardous 
nature of the object, and the risk of exposure to uninvolved 
individuals, it is recommended that headphones be used. 


Current restrictions should limit access to this document only 
to authorized workstations, but in the event of their failure, 
access to this file by mobile devices, regardless of security 
level, is prohibited. 


+ Show SCP-2413 Documentation 
Item #: SCP-2413 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2413 is 
contained in this document. Under no circumstances is 
this document to be deleted or altered. The 
cognitohazard decontamination procedures at the end of 
this file must be carried out by any accessing user. 
Failure to follow these instructions is to be considered a 
Class 3 (cognitohazardous) containment breach. 


Description: SCP-2413 is an entity that may affect any 
person (referred to as an SCP-2413-1 instance) that is 
cognizant of its existence, and who has not followed 
SCP-2413's cognitohazard decontamination procedures. 
Affected individuals are subjected to 1-5 minutes of 
auditory hallucinations which appear to source from 


audio equipment near the contaminated person. 


While these hallucinations are capable of manifesting in 
the absence of audio equipment, this has in roughly half 
of all cases led to deleterious cognitive effects on the 
SCP-2413-1 instance, and testing into this field has been 
discontinued due to loss of personnel. 


SCP-2413-1 instances will, following the conclusion of 
initial hallucinations, begin to display increasingly critical 
behavior towards creative works (known as the second 
phase of SCP-2413's effects). This behavior will begin to 
escalate in severity, leading to the instance being 
incapable of enjoying any creative work. While 
SCP-2413-1 instances display preference for critique of 
written works, individuals incapable of reading have 
shifted their critique to other works. 


Individuals lacking an ability to see, taste, and smell 
have shown a resistance to this escalation, though 
nearly all individuals eventually progress to the second 
phase of the effect. The sole exception is any individual 
who is incapable of hearing, as no fully deaf individuals 
have been known to show any signs of SCP-2413 
infection. 


Approximately 90 minutes after exposure, SCP-2413-1 
instances are unable to be decontaminated by the 
proscribed methods in this document. After 106 minutes 
SCP-2413 effects have proven irreversible by any 
means. 


Decontamination Procedures: 


Please access Document-0094 to proceed with 
decontamination.

SCP 2413 - Decontamination Document 


Please view the following image until 
auditory hallucinations cease. 


Thank you for completing the Cognitohazard Containment 
Procedure. This process must be completed again if accessing 
SCP-2413's documentation at a later date. 


SCP-2414: UnSCiPpable 


WARNING 


The procedures documented in this file include 
references to a type Apate infohazard. If you have not 
been trained in the proper methodologies for containing 
this type of infohazard, close this file immediately and 
inform your supervisor that you require amnestic 
treatment due to infohazard exposure. 


Information regarding your access to this file (including 
the date, time, and location) will be reported to the 
Records and Information Security Administration 
(RAISA). 


Item #: SCP-2414 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2414 is to be kept inside 
an opaque box and stored in a standard secure storage vault in 
Dimensional Site-62. The vault is to be protected by no fewer than 
two (2) armed guards trained in the resistance and containment of 
infohazards at any given time. Guards are to be told that the vault 
contains dangerous but non-anomalous items, and are not to permit 
access without the express written authorization of the Site Director. 
Any attempts at removing SCP-2414 from the vault without this 
authorization are to be met with lethal force. 


Internal Foundation communications are to be monitored by 
standard RAISA software for any mention of SCP-2414. Any 


personnel outside of those cleared for SCP-2414 access who 
mention it, or who receive communications mentioning it, are to be 
flagged and investigated for potential infohazard exposure. 


Testing performed on SCP-2414 must be performed via use of 
waldos and cameras unless otherwise authorized by the Site 
Director. Upon the conclusion of any and all tests, Class A 
amnestics are to be administered to any parties involved who have 
not been trained in the resistance and containment of infohazards. 


In the event of a containment breach, recovery of SCP-2414 is to be 
handled solely by autonomous drones. 


Any proposed revisions to these procedures must be approved by at 
least three (3) Class B personnel who are unaware of the properties 
of SCP-2414. Reviewing personnel are to be told that SCP-2414 isa 
fictional SCP object, and that the procedures are to be utilized for 
training purposes only. To reduce the likelihood of belief to the 
contrary, such requests for review should avoid resembling formal 
requests if at all possible. Containment procedures presented for 
review must not refer to SCP-2414 by its actual number or have this 
paragraph present; placeholder identifiers such as "SCP-XXXX" are 
to be used instead. 


Description: SCP-2414 is a grey tetragonal trapezohedron 
approximately 26 cm in volume, crafted from an alloy of tungsten, 
nickel, iron, and other unidentified metals. Examination of SCP-2414 
by hand will show that it has nine faces - a geometrically impossible 
property for a trapezohedron of any type. Examination of SCP-2414 
by any other method will show that it has eight faces. None of 
SCP-2414's faces bear markings of any kind; however, markings 
can be applied through typical methods. 


Additionally, SCP-2414 functions as an infohazard that affects 
Foundation personnel who become aware of its existence as an 
object considered by the Foundation to be anomalous.! Affected 
personnel become convinced that SCP-2414 is a non-anomalous 
object, and should not be contained by the Foundation. Such 
personnel will typically attempt to physically "liberate" SCP-2414 
from Foundation custody within 12 hours of exposure if able; 
personnel unable to do so will attempt to recruit assistance from 


SCP-263: "Cash or Ash" 


SCP-263 during testing. 


Item #: SCP-263 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-263 is to be stored ina 
low value items storage vault at Site-19. It may be removed for 
testing provided permission from a level 3 researcher and a fire- 
resistant area to conduct testing in. All testing with SCP-263 is to be 
recorded. Subjects testing SCP-263 are allowed a mobile telephone, 
a PDA, or a netbook computer with full, unrestricted access to a 
complete, synchronized copy of the Foundation's data banks, stored 
in a dedicated database server to guarantee full retrieval of any 
records entry in no more than 200 milliseconds if and only if they are 
terminated immediately after testing has concluded. 


All recordings of testing on SCP-263 are to be reviewed by a 
researcher with level 4 or higher clearance, and censored where 
necessary to prevent access to restricted material. All researchers 
observing SCP-263 during testing are to be administered a local 
amnestic and have their notes confiscated. Research notes from 
testing require permission from a researcher with level four 
clearance to access. 


Description: SCP-263 is a black and white television, bearing the 
logo of the "THOMSON" company. It matches no known model of 
television, but has a similar style and construction to televisions built 
in the year 1961. SCP-263 is fully intact, but has sustained minor 
cosmetic damage to the screen and frame. SCP-263 has been 
observed to function even when not connected to a power outlet. 


When switched on, the TV always displays the interior of a studio, 
whose design bears similarities to studios of television game shows 
from the 1960's. A large logo, saying "CASH OR ASH?" in large, 


those who are.2 


In the event that SCP-2414 is successfully removed from 
Foundation custody, all memory and knowledge of the Foundation 
will be erased from the individual or individuals responsible. They 
will also regain the ability to identify SCP-2414 as anomalous.
