Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2364 is to be kept in a 
secure storage locker on Site-19 on top of a pressure sensor, with 
tracking devices secured to it and completely covered by a cloth 
drape. To date, SCP-2364 has not breached containment. 
SCP-2364 should not be directly observed by Foundation personnel. 


Description: SCP-2364 is an object possessing an anomalous 
shape. Indirect observation of SCP-2364 is impossible - it does not 
register on any kind of visual recording equipment, such as video or 
photo cameras. SCP-2364 weighs approximately 127.5 kilograms 
and fits in a space 40 centimeters by 55 centimeters by 60 
centimeters when appropriately rotated. The distance between what 
is currently considered to be SCP-2364's two most distant points is 
approximately 90 centimeters. SCP-2364 has resisted any and all 
attempts at deformation, including all necessarily destructive 
methods of sampling, retaining a smooth surface. Tests indicate 
SCP-2364 is most likely a solid mass of one unknown material, 
observed to be magenta in color. Volume of SCP-2364 has been 
measured through submerging it in water, resulting in 55.44 liters of 
water being displaced. 


SCP-2364's anomalous effect causes any living beings which have 
viewed it at any point to be unable to describe its shape using any 
similes, including naming the shape or object anything that would 
suggest resemblance to a known object, instead using an abstract 
given name to refer to it. Both "SCP-2364" and "2364" are names 
which can be used to refer to the object. Any individuals affected in 
this way are capable of recognizing the shape of SCP-2364, even if 
most of the object is obscured from sight by obstructions. This effect 
does not extend to reproductions of SCP-2364, such as plaster and 
metal casts produced for testing purposes. Individuals which have 


seen SCP-2364 describe such reproductions as "almost SCP-2364- 
shaped, but slightly different." 


Foundation personnel should not be exposed to SCP-2364 if 
possible. The object's anomalous effect is, however, harmless as 
currently understood. Personnel exposed to SCP-2364 accidentally 
or prior to the discovery of its effect are permitted to resume work as 
normal. 

See Document-2364-A for the current list of affected personnel. The 
effect has been found suppressible by amnestic treatment, test 
subjects forgetting the shape of SCP-2364 and not recognizing 
representations of it as similar. Re-exposure to SCP-2364 itself 
affects past subjects as normal. Should the effect prove to be 
detrimental, all living personnel named in Document-2364-A should 
undergo amnestic treatment at first opportunity. 


Two-dimensional artistic representations of SCP-2364 have been 
made. The resulting two-dimensional shapes have not been 
recognized as that of SCP-2364 by both affected personnel and 
unaffected personnel previously shown a reproduction of SCP-2364, 
the most common answers being that the picture looks like "some 
kind of shape” or "a magenta inkblot". Subjects from both groups 
did, however, agree to the possibility of there being some link 
between the representations and SCP-2364 upon suggestions being 
made by personnel conducting the test. 


SCP-2364 appeared in an unused containment cell on Site-19 
between 20 - -21 and 20 - -28, being discovered on the latter date 
during a routine weekly check of the unused cells. The method by 
which SCP-2364 has appeared in the cell is currently unknown. 


Addendum: On 20 - - , D-92357 has been introduced to 
SCP-2364 for testing purposes. D-92357 has been noted as 
possessing associative grapheme to color synesthesia. After 
observing SCP-2364 for one minute, D-92357 described the 
experience as "satisfying", noting that "the thing was magenta." 
Further tests indicated a permanent association between 
SCP-2364's shape and its color, the plaster representations being 
noted as "not the right color". The association has been found to 
persist through amnestic treatment. 


In light of this discovery, further research on synaesthetic subjects 
followed. After exposure to SCP-2364, subjects indicated various 
associations between the color magenta, SCP-2364's shape, and a 
loud sound later identified as a clear 1230 Hz note, despite having 
had different associations previously. Later tests have found 

1230 Hz to be the material's resonant frequency.

SCP-2365: The universe is trying to tell you that it 
hates you 


Item #: SCP-2365 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Reports of SCP-2365 are to be 
investigated and data analysed for evidence of connections or 
common factors between victims. Survivors of SCP-2365 and 
witnesses are to be interviewed, tested and amnesticized. 
Foundation front companies are to conduct "sleep studies" in an 
attempt to observe and document SCP-2365. 


While it is not known whether SCP-2365 is memetic in nature, 
access to information relating to SCP-2365 is to be restricted. 


Description: SCP-2365 is a phenomenon affecting certain 
individuals during REM sleep. Initial stages of SCP-2365 are 
characterised by the materialisation of small flakes of rust in the air 
above the sleeper, and a reduction in local temperature. Recordings 
during this stage have detected the noise of metal hinges, the 
source of which has not been determined. If the sleeper is woken 
during this stage, no further effects are observed. 


If SCP-2365 is permitted to progress, the initial phenomena will 
cease and the second stage will commence. Heavy steel springs will 
materialise in the space adjacent to the sleeper's head. Over the 
course of 10-15 minutes, this will be followed by the slow 
manifestation of additional metal attachments, forming a large bear 
trap. 


The bear trap will remain suspended over the sleeper's head for up 
to 10 minutes before slowly de-materialising. If the sleeper returns to 
consciousness during this period, or contact is made with the trap 
(by the sleeper or others), the springs will be triggered, typically 
leading to significant trauma to the head and neck.

an unknown symbol on it keeping the wrap together. Tests revealed 
that item contained standard ingredients of a pear and a cookie. 
Given to D-98547, tasted remarkably like a "pear and chocolate chip

jar?" This Pearcel Cookie was investigated, and found to contain the 
standard ingredients of 43,046,721 Pearcel Cookies. 

Edit: Researcher Johnson accidentally dropped the cookie, and it 
separated into 9 parts, slightly lighter in coloration, and of the same 
size of the Pearcel Cookie.

The subject held a cookie; however, nobody could clearly pinpoint 
its location: video recordings showed cookies, slots and buttons.

supposed to only exist "conceptually"; however, the coin caused the 


The Foundation's understanding of SCP-2365 is based largely on 
forensics and witness reports. Observation and testing has been 
restricted to bear traps which have been triggered and retain 
material substance, and to a limited number of SCP-2365 survivors. 
No pattern has been determined between the identities of victims of 
SCP-2365, and the number of unobserved cases is difficult to 
determine.

SCP-2366: Ils coopéraient ensemble 


Item #: SCP-2366 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Area 2366 is to be surrounded 
by a security fence, and subjected to regular herbicide treatment. 
Mobile Task Force Theta-4 ("Gardeners") is to maintain a cover 
story for containment (premised on a variant of Dutch Elm disease), 
and to observe the local Mennonite community for anomalous 
behaviour. 


Agents stationed at Area 2366 are advised to remain alert to the 
dangers of local coyote populations affected by SCP-2366. 


All samples of SCP-2366 are to be held at Storage Location 73-E, 
an automated warehouse in the Texas desert. Any new instances of 
SCP-2366 are to be removed and sent to Storage Location 73-E. 
Recovery of any instances currently not in containment is 
considered a priority. 


Description: SCP-2366 denotes an anomalous species of 
deciduous hardwood tree, together with its wood. SCP-2366 trees 
resemble birch (genus Betula) in both outward appearance and 
genetic composition. Within its area of effect (approximately 25m in 
diameter from any SCP-2366 item), SCP-2366 promotes 
cooperative and collaborative behaviour. When exposed to 
SCP-2366, groups of organisms of the same species will work 
together to achieve mutual goals; the degree of cooperation and the 
benefits of such behaviour increase in proportion to the complexity 
of the species’ social structure.

SCP-2366: Selected Test logs 


Test # SCP-2366-5 
Date: 12 November 2014 


Procedure: Six unrelated chimpanzees were 
given separate pieces of a wooden puzzle. 
When fit together correctly, the pieces would 
form a key to unlock a glass case containing a 
food reward. The test groups were given 
puzzle pieces made of SCP-2366. 


Observations: Test groups solved the puzzle 
and obtained the reward an average of 5 times 
more quickly than control groups. Researchers 
observed that all animals in the test groups 
were focused on the puzzle, with no animals 
excluded or subject to dominance displays. 


Test # SCP-2366-13 
Date: 18 March 2015 


Procedure: Groups of D-Class personnel 
were given a series of tasks to complete (each 
requiring a cooperative approach), with the 
offer of one month's exemption from testing 
duty for the whole group if the tasks were 
completed within a time limit. Wooden badges 
made of SCP-2366 were given to the test 
groups. 


Observations: Test groups successfully 
completed the tasks an average of 15 times 
more quickly than control groups. Linguistic 
analysis of recordings suggest that test group 
members were statistically more likely to use 
inclusive language, and to encourage open 
suggestions on problem-solving, even 
amongst groups of D-Class who had not 
previously met. 


Notes: Several variations of this test were run, 
with none or only some of the test subjects 


informed of the reward for completion of the 
tasks. Results suggest that the effects of 
SCP-2366 depend on the group having a 
common motivation or goal, and that 
SCP-2366 increases the level of cooperation 
towards that goal, rather than promoting 
cooperation where none otherwise exists. 


Test # SCP-2366-32 
Date: 22 September 2015 


Procedure: In order to study SCP-2366's 
effects on more complex collaborative tasks, 
researchers filmed two games of basketball 
between teams of D-Class personnel. Game 
One was used as a control, with both teams 
given badges of ordinary wood to wear. In 
Game Two, one team was given badges made 
of SCP-2366. Film of the two games was 
analysed for comparison purposes. 


Observations: Tactics, teamwork and 
communication were evident in Game Two to 
a significantly higher degree. However, this 
was exhibited by both teams, rather than only 
the team wearing SCP-2366. This suggests 
that, while SCP-2366 can influence 
performance of complex and fluid tasks, the 
area of SCP-2366's effect would make it 
inappropriate for competitive activity where 
opposing teams operate at close quarters. 


Test # SCP-2366-35 
Date: 6 October 2015 


Procedure: This experiment was designed to 
test the effects of long-term exposure to 
SCP-2366 without a pre-determined 
collaborative goal. A group of ten D-Class 
personnel were given SCP-2366 badges and 
held in a Site-73 dormitory. No instructions or 


tasks were given to the group. 


Notes: Experiment abandoned. After 48 hours 
of apparent inactivity, the D-Class personnel 
commenced an escape attempt relying ona 
sequence of coordinated actions to 
incapacitate dormitory guards and evade 
automated surveillance. Site-73 security 
officers were alerted and deployed to the 
Class-D wing, recapturing all D-Class 
personnel over a four-hour period. Security 
personnel were commended for exceptional 
performance and teamwork in response to this 
incident. 


Recovery: SCP-2366 was discovered following the Foundation's 
investigation of a viral video appearing to show a Mennonite barn- 
raising performed in an extremely coordinated and rapid manner.1 
Undercover Foundation agents travelled to the Old Order Mennonite 
community in , Pennsylvania and observed that the local 
farms appeared to be operating with unusual efficiency. 


The agents learned that the community had constructed the barn, as 
well as household items, using a particular type of wood. Items 
constructed of such wood had also formed part of the community's 
regular trading activity. The wood was identified as being sourced 
from a local stand of birch trees (subsequently designated Area 
2366). Botanical analysis from Area 2366 indicated a unique species 
of birch. 


Initial efforts to identify SCP-2366 trees were hampered by a series 
of attacks on Foundation agents by packs of coyotes displaying 
complex and organised hunting techniques. The local Mennonite 
community were aware of the risk of such attacks, and shared with 
undercover agents their strategies for groups working in Area 2366 
to avoid or repel such attacks. These strategies were found to be 
effective. Atypical coyote behaviour has ceased with the removal of 
SCP-2366 instances from Area 2366. 


After tagging live specimens of SCP-2366 for logging, the 
Foundation attempted to identify all items constructed of SCP-2366 


by the Mennonite community. These items were recovered, 
including tracing (where possible) pre-made and bespoke items sold 
or traded to tourists or visitors - the owners were amnesticized as 
necessary. Initial on-site containment protocols were then 
established, and all samples of SCP-2366 wood were sent to 
Site-73 for containment and testing.
