missing persons attributed to SCP-1382-1, as well as D-49581 (see 
Incident 1382-C-2), are also contained within SCP-1382-2. The 
whereabouts of two passengers and two crew members from Flight 
441 are currently unknown. 


When SCP-1382-1 becomes active, all instances of SCP-1382-3 
animate, registering a temperature of 37.0 °C (98.6 °F) on thermal 
imaging scanners. Early observation suggested that SCP-1382-3 
was "reliving" the crash of Flight 441: the majority of 1382-3 appear 
distressed and assuming crash positions in their seats. Continued 
observation has revealed a number of discrepancies, and it is the 
conclusion of Dr. Salvia that the passengers were distressed by 
events occurring parallel to the crash, and not the crash itself. 


¢ Subject #1 (SCP-1382-3-1) rises from the pilot's seat and 
appears to be fending off an unknown attacker before 
slumping over 1382-2's control panel and ceasing to move. 
Subject #9 drops to its knees and holds up its arms, ina 
posture suggesting supplication and/or prayer. 
Subject #12 attempts to push his right thumb into the left eye 
socket of Subject #13, seated adjacent. #13 offers no 
resistance but appears to be screaming. 
Subject #18 leans over the back of its chair, grabs hold of and 
attempts to consume the left hand of Subject #19, managing 
to dislodge and swallow the distal and intermediate phalanges 
of the index and middle fingers (finger bones can be seen 
inside #18's ribcage). #19 appears to be screaming while 
Subject #20, seated next to it, assaults #18 with its bare fists. 
Subjects #22, #23, and #24 are gesturing at the left-side 
passenger windows, their motions suggest something is on or 
near the wing of the plane. 
Subjects #44 and #45 overpower Subjects #46 and #47 (both 
juveniles, estimated to be 8 and 6 years of age, respectively) 
and begin to consume them. 
Subjects #53, #54, and #55 are identified as 

, and , reported missing during a three month 
period previous to the discovery of SCP-1382. Each is ina 
state of decay applicable to their environment and length of 
time submerged. When animated, all three express confusion 
and distress at their surroundings and at the decayed 


condition of their own bodies. 

¢ Subject #56 is the remains of D-49581, absorbed into 
SCP-1382-2 during Incident 1382-C-2. It is in a very early 
stage of decay. #56 expresses confusion and distress at its 
surroundings, as well as greater self-awareness and none of 
the "repeating" actions demonstrated by other SCP-1382-3's. 
#56 has made several efforts to escape SCP-1382-2. So far it 
has attempted to extricate itself through an open window, 
communicate with nearby SCP-1382-3's, and to run or swim 
to the emergency exits. Each attempt has been unsuccessful 
in the time allotted. Requests to contact and/or remove #56 
are pending approval. 


After 13 seconds of activity, all instances of SCP-1382-3 turn to face 
SCP-1382-1. They remain in this position until SCP-1382-1 ceases 
its S.O.S., at which point they collapse and become inert.

SCP-1383: Partially-Functioning Pataphorical 
Torment Chamber 


Item #: SCP-1383 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1383 is closed to 
customers and hotel staff. Keys to the room are stored at Research 
Facility 5. SCP-1383-affected Foundation personnel are to explain 
the nature and symptoms of their contamination to all personnel of 
sufficient object clearance who interact with them and are to avoid 
socializing with persons of insufficient object clearance. Counseling 
is available in the psychiatric wing of Research Facility 5 for any 
personnel who experience distress as a result of being exposed to 
SCP-1383 or affected persons. 


Following Incident 2/1977, personal GPS devices are to be worn by 
affected individuals at all times, and two personnel are to monitor 
this data: one which is informed of SCP-1383's effect who will record 
any changes in GPS data, and one which is not informed of 
SCP-1383's effect who will record GPS data from memory. Any 
changes in data recorded by the latter group are to be reported to 
the head researcher to prevent additional containment breaches of 
SCP-1383 entities. 


Description: SCP-1383 is room number 14 at a Motel 6 located in 
Gilroy, California. Living humans and other sapient beings (see 
Addendum) which enter the hotel room are physically and mentally 
unchanged, but become subjected to an effect which causes anyone 
who thinks about an affected person to believe that that person is 
still physically inside SCP-1383. (See Post-Recovery Interview 
1383-3.) 


SCP-1383-affected humans are able to move freely and can keep 
track of their own location as normal. (One exception was 
discovered in Experiment 1383-7: a test subject whose vision and 


sense of location were disabled as part of experimentation placed 
himself within the anomaly.) Feelings of dissociation are often 
reported following contamination with the effect, although no 
physiological effects have been diagnosed. Those coming into 
frequent contact with SCP-1383-affected persons complain of a 
distressing sense of cognitive dissonance. 


In Experiment 1383-19, a D-Class subject was instructed to enter 
SCP-1383 and describe its contents. He provided an accurate 
inventory of the room and confirmed that he was its only occupant. 
After 24 hours, the D-Class was asked to write down a list of 
everything in the room to the best of his memory. The list he 
completed (Experiment Log 1383-9-A, not provided here) included 
the main furniture and other features of SCP-1383, a green-hued 
sphere of rock floating near the ceiling fan, and several hundred 
people. He was unable to describe the behavior of these inhabitants, 
referring to them as "just in there". 


SCP-1383 was discovered during the Foundation investigation of a 
local news story describing an "employee blunder" which resulted in 
a room being simultaneously booked to over seven-hundred 
customers. The Foundation is currently in the process of using the 
room's guest records to locate and handle civilians believed to be 
SCP-1383-contaminated. 


During initial containment, a security agent discovered a wrinkled 
and folded sheet of light brown paper in a bedside drawer. This 
sheet is covered on both sides in 6-point typewritten script which 
describes a process intended to "assemble" an "idea trap" using a 
room or other enclosure and a "hypothetical component", listing as 
an example the theorized planetary body Themis. The ritual 
directions are written in an informal second-person style, apparently 
by someone in a state of severe mental distress. Handwritten 
marginal notes describe an intent to undermine or destroy — ——

Post-Recovery Interview 1383-3 Excerpt, 12/11/1976 


Foreword: The interviewed subject is Researcher 
Cartwright, direct supervisor of Dr. Frey, a specialist in 
mind-affecting anomalies employed at Site 47 in Nevada. 
Dr. Frey was brought in to evaluate the properties of 
SCP-1383, during which point he was subjected to the 
properties of SCP-1383. Frey returned to his regular 
assignment on 12/8/1976. 


Interviewer: When was the last time you saw [Dr. Frey]? 
Dr. Cartwright: This morning, in B hall. 

Interviewer: And what did you say to him? 

Dr. Cartwright: | bit his head off a little because he was 
so late back from his assignment at that Motel Six. He 
kept saying he was coming back, but he was three days 
late. 

Interviewer: How did Doctor Frey react? 

Dr. Cartwright: He told me that we had met in the break 
room yesterday, and | had said the same thing. 
Interviewer: Does that make sense to you? 

Dr. Cartwright: Not really. | couldn't have talked to him if 


he was at the Santa Clara site the whole time, right? It 
was a pretty weak attempt to cover his ass. 
Interviewer: To the best of your knowledge, where is 
Frey now? 

Dr. Cartwright: This is a trick question, isn't it? He's... 
right, right, he's back in California on that research trip. 
At this rate, we should probably just transfer him there 
for good. 

<End log> 


— —Note— —: On 12/29/1976, Dr. Frey requested to be transferred 
to Research Facility 5 to continue study of SCP-1383. He cited 
professional and personal issues resulting from his SCP-1383- 
affected status which prevented him from continuing in his current 
position. Almost all SCP-1383-contaminated personnel have 
requested similar reassignments, and in the interest of reducing 
confusion in the workplace, Research Facility 5 has expanded to fit 
these transfers. 


Incident 1383-A: On 2/11/1977, at UST 4:30, a coworker of 
SCP-1383-affected Agent S. Weber expressed concern regarding 
his behavior. When questioned, she explained that something had 
reminded her of the agent, at which point she remembered that he 
was in SCP-1383, "making a deal to bring down the moon so he can 
climb out". (Weber denied this claim.) This marks the first time the 
location and behavior of an SCP-1383 entities are described with 
more precision than their location in SCP-1383. 


Following this incident, a series of extranormal events occurred in 
the five-mile radius around SCP-1383. Primarily, numerous assault 
and murder incidents were called into local police which regarded 
people who are alive and unharmed. These events correlated with 
psychological issues in those who are close to or regularly interact 
with affected individuals, due to an intermittent belief that those 
people are injured or dead.! In each case, when a description of the 
perpetrator was obtained, it matched that of Agent Weber. However, 
records of Agent Weber's activity indicate no possibility that he is 
responsible for these events. In addition, when the researcher who 
reported the incident was asked to recall Agent Weber's current 
whereabouts, she reported that he was in Research Facility 5, within 


the observation chamber of SCP- __, a Safe-level memetic hazard to 
which Weber had been given object clearance during a recovery 

assignment. The containment procedures of SCP-__ were altered to 
indicate — — —— ——_—$ —— —— —— —— ——_ —— —_ 


Researchers have concluded that the 2/77 events were created by 
what is termed an autonomous conceptual entity. The entity is 
believed to be responsible for the developments which led to the 
reclassification of SCP- __ to Euclid. Careful questioning of subjects 
close to Agent Weber has indicated that the Weber entity is 
exhibiting psychotic behavior and severe dissociation. The Weber 
entity has so far only contaminated living and sentient humans and 
animals by "interacting" with them; although it was believed that the 
entity broke this pattern by conceptually "obtaining" SCP- , a Safe- 
level object housed in the nearby Armed Containment Area 23 to 
which Weber possessed object clearance, further investigation has 
discovered that SCP- possesses a level of intelligence similar to a 
dolphin. The containment procedures of SCP-__ were altered to 
indicate this new information and to mitigate difficulties caused by 
SCP-1383 contamination. 


In an attempt to prevent further contamination of anomalous objects 
in containment, Agent Weber was subjected to Class-C Amnestic 
therapy and has been reassigned to janitorial duty at Research 
Facility 5, restricted to low-clearance areas. Following Weber's 
acclimation to his new surroundings, this measure seems to have 


been effective. From 3/04/1977 to 3/15/1977, the entity remained 
near Maintenance Assistant Weber's location at an approximate 
distance of twenty meters. Although this effectively completely 
alleviated the side effects of exposure to SCP-1383, Weber reported 
no decrease in feelings of alienation and anxiety related to 
contamination. On 3/15, at roughly 800 hours local time, the entity is 
believed to have approached the memetic hazard which it had 
previously tampered with — — —vour distress call was received — ——— ——— 


And opening the window would let a catastrophe out of here-—~ ————— 


SCP-_ 's behavior as prompted by this incident has yet to be 
replicated. The whereabouts of the Weber autonomous conceptual 
entity and the SCP-_ conceptual entity are unknown, and both are 
presumed to be neutralized. While Maintenance Assistant Weber 
can no longer be reliably tracked or supervised due to the unique 
nature of his contamination, his mental and physical state leads the 
Facility Director to consider him a low-priority threat. The Facility 
Director has issued an official statement requiring Research Facility 
5 personnel to report any possible encounters with maintenance 
staff that they cannot remember.
