Individuals affected by SCP-1409 will attempt to reach Point 1409- 
Alpha by any means available to them, although most are reluctant 
to resort to acts they personally find immoral or distasteful. In cases 
where no adequate transportation is available, subjects will attempt 
to reach a coastline and swim towards Point 1409-Alpha, invariably 
resulting in exhaustion and drowning. It is not known how affected 
subjects are able to locate Point 1409-Alpha, but subjects report 
they are able to sense whether they are moving towards it or not. 
Amnestics have no effect on this compulsion. 


If a subject affected by SCP-1409 successfully reaches Point 1409- 
Alpha, they invariably experience shock and feelings of betrayal, 
claiming that they were led to believe there was a person or object 
at SCP-1409 of great value, although they cannot explain the 
precise nature of the promised object. Subjects express distrust or 
hatred of the singer in the SCP-1409 recording, and some 
experience depression. However, after this point the direct effect of 
SCP-1409 on the subject apparently ceases. 


SCP-1409 is able to affect individuals who are aware of its 
properties, and individuals who have previously been exposed and 
have successfully reached Point 1409-Alpha. Such individuals 
maintain either they, or previous SCP-1409 subjects, failed to find 
the object of value at Point 1409-Alpha due to a lack of effort or 
mistake on their part. 


Addendum 1409-1: On // ,asmall research vessel operating in 
the Atlantic was found abandoned and severely damaged, 
apparently by a storm. Evidence found aboard the vessel indicates 
that a whale song with similar properties to the SCP-1409 was 
recorded by the vessel, although damage to monitoring equipment 
incurred during the storm has rendered the recording unintelligible. 
The events that occurred following the recording are unknown, 
though it is believed all on board perished attempting to reach the 
origin point, leaving the boat unattended during a storm. 


As a result of this incident, it is presently hypothesized that 
SCP-1409's properties stem from the anomalous nature of the 


whale that originally made the vocalisations, rather than the 
vocalisations themselves. Although this is not currently confirmed, 
Agents are advised to monitor unusual hydrophone recordings made 
in the Atlantic Ocean within 3000km of Point 1409-Alpha. Mobile 
Task Force Theta-5 ("The Bigger Boat") have been informed of the 
possibility of such a whale existing and tasked with locating it should 
another SCP-1409 event occur. The theoretical humpback whale 
which created SCP-1409 is designated SCP-1409-A for provisional 
purposes.

SCP-1410: Sweating Stone 


Item #: SCP-1410 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: : SCP-1410 is to be kept in its 
designated containment area within Site-30. SCP-1410 is to be 
moved between the four chambers of the containment area as 
dictated by the color of its perspirations and the interpretation of the 
supervising researcher in order to minimize the creation of instances 
of SCP-1410-1: 


- Chamber 1410-A (Yellow): chamber 1410-A was converted from 
Site-30’s secondary auditorium. SCP-1410 is to be kept ona 
pedestal in the center of chamber-1410-A if displaying 
claustrophobic tendencies. If displaying agoraphobic tendencies, 
SCP-1410 is to be kept in a metal container at the base of the 
pedestal. 


- Chamber 1410-B (Red): chamber 1410-B is a steel vault. When 
SCP-1410 is kept in chamber 1410-B, an armed guard is to be 
stationed inside the chamber in order to create a reassuring 
environment for SCP-1410. 


- Chamber 1410-C (Blue): chamber 1410-C is a standard humanoid 
containment cell, converted to a nursery. Chamber 1410-C is to be 
painted in soft, muted colors and include toys meant for young 
children, preferably plush animals. SCP-1410 is to be placed ina 
crib in the left corner of the chamber, and two personnel involved in 
the containment of SCP-1410 are to be stationed with it. Said 
personnel are not to be armed. 


- Chamber 1410-D (Green): chamber 1410-D is a standard 
humanoid containment cell, converted to a mock infirmary. Chamber 
1410-D is to be painted white, and contain assorted medical 
equipment (said equipment does not need to be genuine). 


SCP-1410 is to be kept on a patient’s bed in the middle of the 
chamber, and one personnel involved in the containment of 
SCP-1410 is to be stationed with it at all times, dressed in scrubs. 
SCP-1410 is to be wiped with disinfectant every hour while in 
chamber 1410-D. 


Description: SCP-1410 is a water-smoothed stone, resembling the 
type found in cave complexes in the mountains. SCP-1410 
appears to possess a limited degree of sapience, which is 
connected to the chromatic perspirations it emits at regular intervals 
or upon contact with instances of SCP-1410-1. SCP-1410-1 
comprises a number of optical illusions created by SCP-1410, 
whose exact nature is contingent on the same perspirations. 
SCP-1410 does not seem to be aware that it is the source of 
SCP-1410-1, and will react negatively to them, increasing its rate of 
perspiration and thus the creation of additional instances of 
SCP-1410-1 the longer it is in contact with them. Regardless of 
subtype, instances of SCP-1410-1 will only acknowledge the 
existences of SCP-1410, and will entirely ignore all else. 


Physical contact with SCP-1410 enables a one-sided 
communication with it, though it is mostly limited to SCP-1410 
broadcasting vague phrases and emotions at whoever touches it. 
The subtypes of perspiration and the instances of SCP-1410-1 
connected to them are as follows: 


¢ Yellow Subtype: when emitting this perspiration, SCP-1410 
will broadcast phrases and emotions connected with 
claustrophobia, agoraphobia, and guilt, often alternating 
between the former two every few hours. Yellow instances of 
SCP-1410-1 appear as young adults of both sexes, dressed in 
clothes indicating a high socioeconomic background and 
artistic tendencies, and suffering from wounds afflicted by 
makeshift weapons. Yellow instances of SCP-1410-1 will 
attempt to surround SCP-1410 and attack it, though due to 
their incorporeal nature those attacks are ineffective. Yellow 
perspiration will decrease if SCP-1410’s claustrophobia or 
agoraphobia is dissuaded. 


¢ Example of phrasing used during Yellow Subtype: “I was 
trapped. They were there with me, but they couldn't 


understand, they weren't like me, not at all. Blind to the 
voices, to the dark, to the stifling air and the walls always 
closing down, always growing closer. To the Ichor always 
calling me to create beauty from them. | had to do it, had to 
make them beautiful, for her. How quickly did she grow bored 
with me and left me for what was left of them. They will never 
stop, closing on me like the walls | painted with them.” 


Red Subtype: when emitting this perspiration, SCP-1410 will 
broadcast phrases and emotions connected with paranoia and 
anger. Red instances of SCP-1410-1 appear as tall, black- 
suited humanoids, possessing four eyes, elongated noses, 
and no ears. Red instances of SCP-1410-1 will attempt to 
observe SCP-1410 from a distance, often appearing several 
hundred meters from SCP-1410. Red perspiration will 
decrease if SCP-1410 is made to feel safe from being 
observed or approached by instances of SCP-1410-1. 


Example of phrasing used during Red Subtype: “It was all 
their fault! All we did was have some fun at their expense, 
attempted to bring some creativity to their drab, hollow world. 
If they hadn't chased us, | never would have left, never would 
have entered those caves, never would have heard the Ichor’s 
voice, never would have... but they just keep looking at me, 
even after they ruined me. They just won't go away!” 


Blue Subtype: when emitting this perspiration, SCP-1410 will 
broadcast phrases and emotions connected with depression 
and loneliness. Blue instances of SCP-1410-1 appear as 
pairs, always comprised of one young adult female and one 
male toddler. Instances of SCP-1410-1 will pointedly ignore 
SCP-1410. Blue perspiration will decrease if SCP-1410 is 
exposed to comforting imagery, particularly related to early 
childhood. 


Example of phrasing used during Blue Subtype: “Anny, 
Harry... I'm so sorry. Would you at least look at me? Just 
once? | promise | won’t do the same to you, | know better 
now. She tricked me, used me, she- nothing | can say can 
make this better, can it? It’s too late. I’m alone now.” 


¢ Green Subtype: when emitting this perspiration, SCP-1410 
will broadcast phrases and emotions connected to pain, 
disgust, and dread. Green instances of SCP-1410-1 appear 
as various crude works of art, seemingly created using parts 
of the human body, with bones, hair, teeth and nails being the 
most prevalent. Green instances of SCP-1410-1 will furnish 
the room SCP-1410 currently occupies. Green perspiration 
will decrease if SCP-1410 believes it is exposed to medical 
care and disinfectant in particular. 


¢ Example of phrasing used during Green Subtype: “Here it 
is, the culmination of my life’s work. How could | have ever 
believed that they were beautiful? That she was? She made 
me shape the rest into these... playthings of hers, and when 
she was done with them, she made me into one. | used to be 
different, but | can’t remember what | was anymore. Her oily 
film covers me, and all | can see is her. | just want to be whole 
again. To be clean again.” 


SCP-1410 was found embedded in the outer wall of Site-30 during a 
routine security check, surrounded by Yellow instances of 
SCP-1410-1. SCP-1410 was removed from the wall and taken 
inside Site-30. Current containment procedures were established 
after repeated contact with SCP-1410.

SCP-1411: Mirror, Mirror 


Item #: SCP-1411 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: A joint research facility has 
been constructed around the cave housing SCP-1411-A. It will be 
manned at all times by agents from both the Foundation and the 
Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts. Colonel Khorsandi of 
the ORIA is in charge of security, as well as liasing with the 
government of Uzbekistan. Doctor Yi will supervise all examination 
of SCP-1411-A. 


At 48-hour intervals, Agent Durani will perform all duties in 
accordance to the Peaslee Protocols in order to perform 
preventative maintenance on SCP-1411-B. In the event that Agent 
Durani is incapacitated, a substitute must be found. This is intended 
to be a voluntary assignment, but if no volunteers can be found, 
Colonel Khorsandi is empowered to order any agent onsite. 


Both the Foundation and the ORIA are to have access to all 
documents and research related to SCP-1411. 


Description: SCP-1411-A is a collection of machinery found in a 
cave in the Turkestan Mountain Range in Southeastern Uzbekistan. 
While much of the equipment's purpose and function is unknown, 
several parts are assessed to be receivers for a signal propagated 
through unknown means, and one section in particular has been 
identified as a transmitter. Central to the entire assembly is a large 
video display, showing an unknown location. 


The location shown has similar machinery to SCP-1411-A, referred 
to as SCP-1411-B. It appears to be in a partly collapsed structure 
with stone and metal walls. The sky can be observed through 
openings in the structure. Though the sun is never seen directly, it 
shows a day-night cycle lasting roughly 31 hours. The stars, to the 


extent that they can be observed through the display, do not appear 
to match any area of the sky visible from Earth. Based on this 
information, it is believed to be an extraterrestrial location. 


What vegetation is visible consists of fungus-like growths. No animal 
life has been observed through the feed (but see Document 
SCP-141 1-3). 


At the time of discovery, the components making up SCP-1411-B 
had experienced some damage, which caused effects both in the 
remote location and at the site of SCP-1411-A itself. These include 
electrical discharges, changes in local gravity, and an increase in 
the rate in heat transfer between objects in the area. Once started, 
these effects increased exponentially. Modeling suggests that if left 
unchecked, these effects would likely cause widespread devastation 
for several hundred kilometers before the SCP-1411-A and B 
materials were completely destroyed!. While significant repairs have 
been undertaken, these effects still occur when routine maintenance 
is not undertaken every 24-48 hours. 


As the functions of most of SCP-1411-A are poorly understood as 
yet, operations will be focused on repairing SCP-1411 in both the 
remote and local sites. 


When a human touches a recessed panel in the area assessed as a 
transmitter, it triggers the production of an autonomous machine by 
SCP-1411-B. These robots are roughly one meter tall (assuming the 
components of SCP-1411-B is similar in size to SCP-1411-A), 
navigating on four multi-jointed legs. The main body is roughly 
cylindrical, with two limbs that divide three times into eight finger-like 
appendages. Three dark lenses are situated on the top of the 
cylinder, and are believed to be the eyes of the robot. 


When a robot is created, it is imprinted with the consciousness of 
the person who activates the transmitter. Communication through 
the screen suggests that the robots possess all memories and 
personality of the originals. They are also imprinted with information 
necessary for the maintenance and basic repairs of SCP-1411-B. 
However, the robots only remain operational for thirty-five to forty- 
eight hours before breaking down, necessitating the creation of 
further units. At present, full repairs of SCP-1411-B appear to be 


impossible, possibly due to the damage to the structure housing the 
equipment. 


Due to familiarity with the phenomenon, and to reduce potential 
contamination by an anomaly, Agent Durani is responsible for the 
activation of the transmitter. This will be done in accordance with the 
Peaslee Protocols for transmission of consciousness. 


Communication is accomplished via writing. Remote units have 
been able to scavenge writing materials, using plastic-like sheets 
with devices that exude a thick, black paste, originally designed for 
applying lubrication to fine parts. They have also experimented with 
making pigments from local fungal vegetation and minerals. 


While the components of SCP-1411-A appear to be stable at 
present, the remote units have been questioned on repair 
procedures, should they become necessary at the local site. Much 
of this information has helped in identifying the purpose of 
components of SCP-1411-A. 


Recovery: SCP-1411-A was discovered by members of the Uzbek 
military after its anomalous properties began manifesting in region. 
GRU Division P was initially contacted, but a deterioration in 
relations between the Uzbekistan and Russian governments led to 
the ORIA being brought in instead. The ORIA then requested 
assistance from the Foundation as the anomalies began to intensify. 


During initial examination, Doctor Yi activated the transmitter. Over 
the course of several days and more activations, the robots were 
able to activate a display in the remote location, and then began 
communicating with the research team. This led to the discovery 
that the robots had the personalities of those who activated the 
device. 


Activations ceased for several days until the anomalies began to 
manifest again. Agent Durani volunteered to activate the device until 
a better solution could be found. At present, all efforts are being 
made to learn how to dismantle the device safely or reach the 
remote location to conduct manual repairs.
