/20 via exposure of SCP-445 samples to SCP-073. Physically, 
SCP-445-a is almost identical to SCP-445, the only difference being 
a slight reddish tint to SCP-445-a. However, SCP-445-a behaves 
differently to SCP-445 when folded (see Document 445-01 for 
details). 


Addendum: 10/15: Dr. Testing Log: 


Folded Into: A paper tube - When observed through one of the 
open ends, SCP-445 acted as a hand-held telescope, enhancing the 
view of objects within a 25 ft. distance. 


Folded Into: A Christmas tree - Remained stable when stood 
upright. When green and red lights were drawn onto the tree, they lit 
up despite the lack of a physical light source. 


Folded Into: A small knife - Became very sturdy and sharp, giving 
several researchers paper cuts when attempting to hold it. Able to 
hold its own against actual metal weaponry. 


Folded Into: A conical paper tube - Acted as a megaphone, though 
amplified only the folder's voice. When a volume control was drawn 
onto the side, the folder was able to change the volume of the 
megaphone. 


Folded Into: A paper cup - Became very rigid. Able to hold 
extremely hot or volatile liquids without any sign of tearing or 
melting. 


Folded Into: A paper crane - Became animate, much like SCP-368, 
though much slower and easily catchable. Recommend research 
into a possible connection between the two. 


Folded Into: A paper boat/hat - When placed in water, became self- 
propelling at soeeds of up to 60 km/h. When inverted and placed on 
head, subject's physical attractiveness was greatly increased in the 
eyes of viewers. When both were performed simultaneously, both 
effects were achieved, with subject reported as looking 'dead sexy' 
while scooting around the water upside-down. 


anomalous event log. 


They found another one! It’s the exact same kind of 
information-eating anomaly as lasttime in —_. This time | 
even got the approval to send a D-class in the active 
area, which | hope will give us information on the speed 
and pattern of progression of the anomaly. 


The experiment had... unexpected results. Much to my 
dismay it seems that the anomaly wiped her ability to talk 
first, and by the time we got around to try to get her to 
write something it seems like that was gone too. The 
interesting part is that | expected to pull a vegetable out 
of the active zone, but she seems to be much more 
functional than | would have thought, and she was able 
to pass some simple logic and coordination tests, like 
tying her shoelaces. But her ability to communicate 
seems to be completely and utterly gone, which makes a 
more complete assessment of the effects of the anomaly 
difficult: who knows what is really left of a human being 
in there? It could be anything from an almost fully- 
conscious mind trapped within itself to a barely 
conscious ghost of a person, not even aware of all the 
things that it cannot remember. To be honest both 
possibilities send chills down my spine. 


Another one of those anomalies was tracked down. They 
never last long and manifest seemingly at random, but 
for now haven’t appeared anywhere populated. More to 
the point, with the few last tests establishing that sending 
more D-class just wields the same result I'll be trying 
again with a few remotely monitored laptops. 

The results were pretty interesting, and not what | had 
expected once again. While the first laptop seemed to 
get erased pretty haphazardly, suffering random and 
worsening malfunctions before crashing irrecoverably, 
the results for the second laptop were the interesting 
ones: the display got shutdown almost immediately, but 
the laptop itself kept running, and while parts of the disk 
did get erased, none of it was necessary for the 


continued function of the computer. More disturbing still, 
a lot of the targeted data belonged to caches and buffer 
that got recreated each time the computer noticed they 
were missing. 


This changes a lot of things about what we thought of 
this anomaly, the most important and frightening of which 
being that it seems to have some kind of sentience and 
ability to learn, fast. But for now, there is only one thing 
that | can say for sure about this anomaly: further 
research is required. 


The anomaly SCP-3432 keeps creating new questions, 
but from enough observation | think | finally have a few 
answers. It is obvious that SCP-3432-A instances are 
related, but rather than separate occurrences of a similar 
anomaly, | think that they have a common and unique 
cause. And from the results of the tests | conducted, | 
would go so far as to say that this common cause is 
some kind of sentient entity. 


From the violent side effects of an SCP-3432-A 
dissipation event | hypothesize that the intrinsic nature of 
SCP-3432 is something fundamentally contrary to the 
concept of information, an equal and opposite of sorts 
that annihilate on direct contact. How could something 
like this be sentient then? My theory is that just as 
information can be manipulated, this “anti-information” 
(for lack of a better word) can too, and SCP-3432 is an 
anti-information based mind, existing someplace outside 
of our reality where the laws of our universe cannot 
contradict its existence. 


Then, SCP-3432-A instances would be the equivalent of 
a dimensional spacesuit, something that helps it sustains 
its presence in our reality, enough to gradually erode 
information and not purely annihilate it. But that begs the 
question, why? Does SCP-3432 gains anything from the 
information it destroys? Is it exploring? Consuming? 
Impossible to tell for now, and it could even turn out to be 
something else entirely. Its interaction with human minds 


is most peculiar too: why does it mostly appear to 
destroy information linked to communication? Is it on 
purpose, or does it just not understand? As | have said, 
there might be some answers, but there are even more 
questions. 


Regardless of what the final answers are, SCP-3432 still 
seems to have enough difficulties interacting with our 
reality to not be considered a major threat. But still, 
seeing how fast it seems to be able to learn and adapt, | 
would recommend for all tests regarding SCP-3432 to be 
suspended as a precaution. 


Incident-3432-07: Aftera leak of GOC intelligence, the 
Foundation became aware of the existence of a GOC project 
apparently directed at developing a weaponized version of 
SCP-3432’s effect, based on an incomplete understanding of the 
anomaly. Foundation intelligence indicates the project to have been 
cancelled and thus not cause for direct concern, but action might be 
necessary if related projects were to be revived. 

Senior Researcher Peterson’s note: 


Despite the official lack of concern, what the GOC 
accomplished is quite disconcerting. It appears that 
through the use of anomalous memetic triggers they 
were able to effectively causes the human mind to 
generate the same kind of “anti-information” that makes 
up SCP-3432. Even if their worry of the meme spreading 
was based on an incomprehension of the nature of 
SCP-3432-A, the fact that an operation exists that can 
generate “anti-information” from real information is 
alarming, because | don’t know what would happen if 
SCP-3432 itself were to learn of it.

Well, one of those genius anartist just went 
and did it. Unsurprisingly, they also got wind of 
the GOC leak, and one of them figured it was 
a good idea to make a piece centered around 
an information-destroying meme. And | guess 
SCP-3432 thought it was a great idea too. 
Adapting that meme into art, something that is 
designed to have you react and think about it, 
was just as if someone gave SCP-3432 a 
crash course on communicating with the 
human mind. And that is how suddenly, 
SCP-3432 was everywhere. Everyone who 
had seen the art piece were not just subject to 
its anomalous properties, they became a part 
of SCP-3432, pawns in its bigger game. They 
all became living zombies, trapped in a glass 
prison of their own minds, silently witnessing 
as they doom others to the same fate. 


Before, SCP-3432 had just been poking at our 
universe like a curious child, probably unaware 
of what it was really doing. And then some 
hipster made it notice us; and humans are now 
shiny new toys to play with and accidentally 
break. But now that it knows, | dread to think 
about what more it could do, of what kind of 
terrible door we have opened that may not be 
closed ever again. 


Truly, this has been the art piece that made 
the world speechless. Forever. 


SCP-3433: | am a Deeply Superficial Person 


"The Factory" 
Andy Warhol 


Item #: SCP-3433 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All artwork/paintings related to 
SCP-3433 are to be contained in Storage Unit 14, Site 8. Each 
painting is to be encased in a glass container, approximately 127 cm 
x 127 cm x 8 cm. Currently, all paintings are on sale on an online 
site owned by the SCP Foundation at www.scp .com, and are 
being constantly purchased and sold in rotation every 3 hours 
between 20 designated employees through an Al system 
programmed to purchase and sell items. Constant monitoring of this 
Al system is required at all times. 


If this Al system fails, the 20 designated employees will be 
immediately alerted, with at least 7 employees required to report in 
(this number may change as new paintings related to SCP-3433 are 
discovered) to www.scp .com, manually purchasing and selling 
the paintings until the Al system is recovered. All designated 
employees involved in this manual labor will be excused from their 
current jobs until further notice. 


Description: SCP-3433 is a social phenomenon related to a series 
of paintings by Andy Warhol from 1968-1987, created in "The 
Factory"! at 33 Union Square West, Manhattan, New York. It is 
currently unknown how many works related to SCP-3433 exist at 
this time. Currently, 3 paintings related to SCP-3433 have been 
claimed to exist, each designated as SCP-3433-n, but only 2 of 
these 3 have been confirmed as artwork related to SCP-3433. 


The artwork related to SCP-3433 was distributed across the United 


States of America through several members of the "Warhol 
Superstars"2, who were each reportedly gifted an artwork of 
SCP-3433 by Andy Warhol himself. Following this, the works of 
SCP-3433 were distributed to various customers and museums. At 
this time, only 1 of these "Warhol Superstars" has been identified 
and apprehended for further interrogation. 


Each artwork related to SCP-3433 allows the current owner (person 
or institution) of SCP-3433-n, now classified as SCP-3433-n-n, to 
experience an event or phenomenon within the next 24 hours that 
results in them receiving approximately 14-15 days of widespread 
media attention. During this time, all sources of media, including 
radio, television, internet, and paper, will turn their focus to the 
events surrounding SCP-3433-n-n. Subjects labelled as SCP-3433- 
n-n are unaffected further by SCP-3433. 


Following the aforementioned 14-15 days, SCP-3433-n-n 
experiences a series of events that continue to occur as long as 
SCP-3433-n-n maintains ownership over SCP-3433-n. 


1. (1-2 days) SCP-3433-n-n experiences an increasing 
attachment to SCP-3433-n. This attachment will increase 
over time, with SCP-3433-n-n becoming visibly 
distressed if others take interest in SCP-3433-n. This 
distress has been seen to evolve into violent outbursts 
against those who attempt to purchase or remove 
SCP-3433-n. 


2. (3-5 days) All public records (written and visual) of 
SCP-3433-n-n are removed or destroyed in both physical 
and digital forms through unknown means. Private 
possessions containing SCP-3433-n-n's information 
appear unaffected. 


3. (6-10 days) The memories of those who are aware of 
SCP-3433-n-n's existence and the events surrounding 
SCP-3433-n-n appear to be affected, being unable to 
recall the events or even basic information on 
SCP-3433-n-n (including name, age, gender, etc.). 


4. (10-20 days) All memories (involving SCP-3433-n-n) 


of those aware of SCP-3433-n-n's existence and the 
events surrounding SCP-3433-n-n have all been either 
modified or erased. Even SCP-3433-n-n's closest 
relatives and significant other are unable to recognize 
SCP-3433-n-n. New memories of SCP-3433-n-n are 
unable to be created, but new records are able to be 
produced. 


5: (20-25 days) The ability to notice or visualize 
SCP-3433-n-n becomes increasingly difficult for others, 
taking approximately 7-10 minutes for an individual to 
even acknowledge SCP-3433-n-n. SCP-3433-n-n has 
visible difficulty in physically interacting with its 
surroundings and other objects [Data indicates that 
SCP-3433-n-n in this state appears to exhibit traits 
classified as "intangibility"). 


6: (25+ days) [UNCONFIRMED] At this time, SCP-3433- 
n-n is unable to be located through any means. 


These effects appear to be permanent, but these effects cease to 
affect SCP-3433-n-n any further when SCP-3433-n-n sells or gives 
SCP-3433-n to another owner. If SCP-3433-n-n is an institution (e.g. 
Museum), then all employees and personnel related to the 
institution, as well as the structure itself are affected by the effects of 
SCP-3433.

and has been apprehended for further 
questioning. SCP-3433-1a, an aspiring actor, 
claims to have gained nationwide fame after 


being involved in a sex tape scandal with 
fellow actor . Both reputations were 
allegedly ruined by the scandal and other 
surrounding controversies that arose due to 
the immediate and widespread media 
coverage of the events. 


At this time, time, no public/government record 
of SCP-3433-1a has been able to be found. 
No public records or witnesses of the events 
that SCP-3433-1a claims have been found. 
SCP-3433-1a has provided proof of the sex 
tape itself on SCP-3433-1a's video camera. 
Further attempts to share or copy this tape has 
proved unsuccessful due to unknown reasons. 


SCP-3433-2 


Title: "Skull 158" 

Discovered: February 15, 2004 

Location: New York City, New York 
Incident 2: [MISSING] 

(SCP-3433-2a) was in possession of 
SCP-3433-2 [approx. 40 days] and had been 
apprehended for further questioning. 
SCP-3433-2a claims to have gained 
nationwide fame after saving the lives of 5 
women who had been kidnapped by ; 
having followed after witnessing him 
kidnap a woman from the streets. 


At this time, no public/government record of 
SCP-3433-2a has been able to be found. No 
public records or witnesses of the events that 
SCP-3433-2a claims have been found. The 5 
women SCP-3433-2a cites in relation to the 
events of SCP-3433-2 all deny the events. 
Despite this, SCP-3433-2a has provided 


photographic evidence of the events, all of 
which the 5 women continue to deny. 


After apprehending SCP-3433-2a for 6 days, 
during which SCP-3433-2a continued to hold 
ownership over SCP-3433-2 for approximately 
40 days, SCP-3433-2a was reported missing 
from containment. At this time, SCP-3433-2a 
has been unable to be located. 


IF ANY PERSONNEL HAS ANY 
INFORMATION ON THE WHEREABOUTS 
OF SCP-3433-2a, REPORT IMMEDIATELY 
TO THE SCP FOUNDATION
