SCP-2880: The Empire of Savaki 


Item #: SCP-2880 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The one hundred and forty nine 
(149) known SCP-2880-A objects are contained in Secure 
Containment Locker 2880-A at Site-74, disassembled. Those who 
wish to reconstruct more than eighty-five (85) percent of an 
SCP-2880-A object for the purposes of testing should notify Site 
Command prior to their research. If an SCP-2880-A object is used 
for testing purposes, the SCP-2880-A object it is paired with should 
also be assembled and stored in a monitored, habitable location. 
Unless required for the purposes of testing, personnel handling 
reconstructed SCP-2880-A objects should not expose bare skin to 
the surface of the object. 


All known SCP-2880-B artifacts that can be safely relocated have 
been moved to Secure Containment Lockers 2880-B1 through -B32, 
also at Site-74. Any researcher with at least level 2 clearance may 
access SCP-2880-B artifacts with the supervision of a member of 
the Site-74 Archeology department. 


SCP-2880-B buildings and artifacts which cannot be safely relocated 
are stored at Provisional Areas 2880-B1 through -B68, located 
throughout the southern Pacific Ocean. Personnel assigned to 
provisional areas 2880-B1 through -B68 should be briefed by their 
Area Director on the cover story used by their assigned facility. 


Description: SCP-2880-A is a collection of destroyed earthenware 
pottery platforms of a uniform design. SCP-2880-A objects, when 
reconstructed, are approximately thirty (30) centimetres in diameter 
at their widest point and approximately six (6) centimetres in height 
at their tallest point. 


An SCP-2880-A object will not display any anomalous qualities 


unless at least approximately ninety (90) percent of both it and the 
SCP-2880-A object it is paired with are reconstructed into its original 
design and there are two (2) metres of space between the top of 
both objects and any solid objects above them. The second criterion 
is believed to be a safety feature purposely induced by SCP-2880-B. 


Humans! that expose their bare skin to the surface of a 
reconstructed SCP-2880-A object will disappear. Within 0.07 
seconds, subjects will reappear on the SCP-2880-A that is paired 
with the item that the subject touched. SCP-2880-A objects are 
pairwise connected and each consistently transports subjects to a 
single other SCP-2880-A object. Items with a volume of less than 
three cubic meters in contact with the subject, such as clothing or 
handheld objects, are also transported, with the exception of the 
SCP-2880-A object itself. Upon the disappearance of the subject, a 
quantity of fluid (in the majority of tests, air or water) with the same 
volume as the subject will disappear at the location of the subject's 
reappearance and be transported to the location of the subject's 
disappearance. The subject will fill the vacuum left by the 
disappearance of the volume of fluid, and the fluid will fill the 
vacuum left by the disappearance of the subject. 


Subjects transported by an SCP-2880-A object consistently display 
a far lower core temperature? than usual upon their arrival and are 
often coated in saline water, even in tests not involving submerged 
SCP-2880-A objects. The majority of subjects report mild 
disorientation, nausea and headaches after using SCP-2880-A 
objects repeatedly. Long-term use of SCP-2880-A objects can 
cause repeated auditory, visual and tactile hallucinations in affected 
subjects. Recurring themes in these hallucinations include drowning, 
storms, and a large coastal cityscape. 


SCP-2880-B is the Foundation designation for the Savaki culture, 
the prehistoric Bronze Age Pacific Island society that created and 
utilized SCP-2880-A. SCP-2880-B controlled a large number of 
western Pacific islands between Taiwan and Hawai'i from about 
2500 BCE to 1700 BCE, at which point they were gradually replaced 
by the Lapita culture and other pre-Polynesian groups. The 
disappearance of SCP-2880-B is believed to have coincided with the 
destruction of SCP-2880-A. The reliance on SCP-2880-A for trade, 


travel and transportation of resources is the most likely cause for the 
decline of SCP-2880-B's society. 


It is currently not understood why the SCP-2880-A objects were 
destroyed, or why SCP-2880-B chose not to rebuild them.

SCP-342: A Ticket to Ride 


Item #: SCP-342 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-342 can be safely stored 
in its case file folder, in an envelope stapled to the inside cover, as it 
poses no danger so long as it is not actively used. Said case file 
folder should be kept in a secure file cabinet in High Value Items 
Storage, and protected by a standard array of biological, chemical, 
memetic, and physical positive action defenses. 


Description: SCP-342 normally takes the form of a mass transit 
ticket for the closest form of mass transportation to its current 
location. At the moment, it takes the form of a train ticket, departing 
from Station. When held by a sentient person for any 
length of time, it will eventually change form into a transit ticket for a 
form of transportation its holder desires to use. This transformation 
always takes place when not being directly or indirectly observed: no 
recordings of SCP-342 changing form exist at this time. SCP-342 is 
indistinguishable from any valid transit ticket and may be used as 
such. 


Should SCP-342 be validated by stamp, tearing off the ticket stub, or 
disposal, it will reform itself into an unused ticket after a short period 
of time. SCP Foundation personnel should be on site to recover 
SCP-342 after the conclusion of any field experiments. 


Anyone who uses SCP-342 to board a vehicle is unable to exit said 
vehicle by any means. Once the vehicle ends its route and ceases 
movement, the user will disappear from this reality. Users report a 
mounting feeling of dread prior to boarding the vehicle, which 
increases during the course of the journey, and culminates in panic- 
inducing terror shortly before disappearance. Specific phenomena 
often resemble acute paranoid schizophrenia, and include:

large, fortified 
structure

have acted as 
the residence 
of the 
leader(s?) of 
SCP-2880-B 
during its 
period of 
dominance. A 


mass grave is 
located 
beneath the 
"courtyard" 
portion of the 
structure. 
Approximately 
two hundred 
skeletons, 
with their 
skulls 
removed, are 
arranged in 
multiple 
symmetrical 
patterns 
within the 
grave. 
Mitochondrial 
DNA 
extracted 
from the

removed 
skulls indicate 
that the 
bodies came 
from various 
south-western 
Pacific 
societies 
known to 
SCP-2880-B, 
and that none

were

SCP-2881: The Tree You Cannot Climb 


Item #: SCP-2881 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2881 is to remain at its 
current location. A chain link fence has been installed surrounding 
the area of SCP-2881, which is to be guarded by one security officer 
during all park operating hours. No unauthorized individuals are to 
be permitted within the area designated to SCP-2881. 


Description: SCP-2881 is a member of the tree species Pinus 
ponderosa (ponderosa pine) located in National Park, 
SCP-2881 measures roughly 13.9 meters at its highest point. 
Several planks of an unknown wood are nailed into the trunk of 
SCP-2881 at 5.3 meters above ground level. Given the anomalous 
properties of SCP-2881 it is unknown if or how they were installed. 
Holes are located at several points up the trunk of SCP-2881 
between 12 cm and 3 m from previous installations of climbing 
spurs. Typical of trees of its kind, SCP-2881 has no branches lower 
than 7 m above ground level. 


SCP-2881’s anomalous properties manifest any time a human being 
attempts to climb it by the installation or use of climbing spikes, 
spurs, studs, or grips. Any individual to attempt to make vertical 
progress up the surface of SCP-2881 will report experiencing 
themselves doing so; however, on reexamination of their location 
will retain their starting positions. This same effect is applied to any 
individual watching another climb SCP-2881, either in person or on 
live video feed. Recorded testing played after the conclusion of a 
test shows subjects making no effort to climb; however, all dialogue 
and actions unrelated to climbing remain consistent with live 
observation. 


Individuals placed onto SCP-2881 at a height above 3m by external 
means report feeling uncomfortable and "strangely heavy." No 


changes in weight or gravity have ever been observed while in 
contact with SCP-2881. Test subjects report a greater effect at 
higher points on SCP-2881. Testing has not been conducted using 
mechanical assistance. (See Incident-2881 -1) 


Incident-2881-1: Foundation personnel attempted to install a pulley 
to a branch of SCP-2881 on the date of / /89 for the purposes of 
testing assisted elevation. D-4375 used an elevated work platform to 
reach a branch and install the mechanism. Upon making contact 
with a branch of SCP-2881 approximately 8.2 m above ground level 
D-4375 appeared to enter a trance and stopped responding to 
personnel. D-4375 detached himself from the platform and climbed 
onto the branch of SCP-2881, then proceeded to scale the branches 
of SCP-2881 until no longer visible to Foundation staff. All attempts 
made to contact D-4375 failed. 


Roughly two hours later, D-4375 fell from SCP-2881 at a speed 
estimated to exceed terminal velocity and was dead on impact with 
the ground. Autopsy reports concluded that D-4375 had died several 
days prior by hanging from the neck. The body also had several 
lacerations around the face, forearms, and legs. Testing of 
SCP-2881 is ongoing.
