<11:35> Local law enforcement officers open 
the entrance to SCP-2331-P and begin to 
announce that they are shutting the rave 
down. Agents Lu and Hansen move towards 
the officers, presumably to prevent them from 
disrupting SCP-2331-P further. The fog in the 
room begins to coalesce in midair, producing a 
glowing fluorescent pink arrow pointing to the 
exit. 


<11:36> SCP-2331: "So ladies and gentlemen 
| don't know what you'll have to do! | think 
people might have to-" SCP-2331's voice 
switches to a mechanical tone. SCP-2337: "- 
head to the afterparty!" (Note: Upon further 
investigation, all of SCP-2331's dialogue is a 
voice sample.) 


<11:37> SCP-2331 waves its hands in the air 
to the cheering of the participants of 
SCP-2331-P. All lighting shuts off as 
SCP-2331 disappears along with sound 
equipment, alcohol, drugs, and lighting 
equipment. Participants leave in an orderly 
and calm fashion. Researcher Witzke attempts 
to call the number. 


<11:57> Mobile Task Force Kappa-Theta 
receives reports of another iteration of 
SCP-2331-P approximately 10 kilometers from 
its previous iteration. Most of the participants 
of the previous iteration are reported to be 
attending the new one. 


<12:02> Agent Lu, Agent Hansen and 
Researcher Witzke attempt to enter the new 


image of a stereotypical "mad scientist" on the top. Packaging in 
American English. Instructions to add water and heat in microwave 
for 60 seconds. Result is ramen noodles in what appears to be a 
low-quality cheese sauce. Analysis revealed nutritional content to be 
identical to exactly one third of daily requirements for an average 
postpubescent male, with large amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids. 


Money entered: 100 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item description: "Edimas": An edible miniature Clyster syringe 
with image of a smiling Asian child. Instructions in American English 
describing how to administer an enema with said product. Upon 
testing, was found to not only function as an enema, but also 
administers a nutrient supplement to the colonal walls. Sent to lab 
for testing. 


Money entered: Precisely half of a 100-yen coin 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item description: The top half of a standard 354ml (120z) Coca- 
Cola can. Can confirmed to be empty. Upon being opened, 
approximately 177ml (602) of liquid, later confirmed to be Coca- 
Cola, fell from the bottom of the can and landed directly on the foot 
of the D-Class personnel conducting the test. 


Money entered: 500 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item description: "ALTROIDS" - container which appeared to be a 
typical "Altoids" container, approximately 9.5 cm in length, 6 cm in 
width, and 2 cm in height. D-Class consumed one "mint" from 
container, resulting in muscle growth which increased muscle mass 
1.5 times. Subject terminated in prevention of more muscle growth. 
"Mints" confirmed to contain steroids, as well as an unidentified 
chemical, though the ingredient list was identical to that of a normal 
Altoids container. 


Money entered: One 500-yen coin with a holed drilled into the edge 
and tied to one(1) meter length of string (cotton). After the coin was 


iteration. They are denied entry by several 
participants near the entrance, stating that it is 
a private party. This new iteration lasts for 
approximately 8 hours with no further unusual 
activity.

Interview 2331-04 


Interviewer: Researcher Witzke 
Interviewee: An unidentified civilian; the call is 
eventually traced to a phone booth. 


[BEGIN LOG] 
Civilian: Hello? 


Researcher Witzke: Oh, hi! | was given this 
number by S.C.- uhm, a fellow called, uhm... 
[grimacing] Scravecrow? 


Civilian: [laughter] Yeah, | know of the guy. 
I'm not him, though. Just an old friend. He's a 
busy guy, so | usually pick up the phone for 
him. What did'ja need? 


Researcher Witzke: Could you tell me more 
about him? How did you meet him? I'm part of 
a local newspaper and I'd like to interview him, 
too. 


Civilian: Well, | could tell you plenty about 
him, but you probably won't believe me. He 
used to be called Jack, y'know, of the lantern 
variety. Used to do a lot of work, changing the 
color of the leaves and making things foggy on 
dark nights. He was a bit of seasonal worker if 
y'know what I'm saying. 


Researcher Witzke: So why is he known as... 
Scravecrow these days? 


Civilian: Well, times change. Celebrations 
‘round this time of year... [sigh] \t's hard to 
watch something you've lived for hollow out to 
a shell of its former self. Jack got tired. He got 
sad. He retired and moved on to something 
that reminded him of how things used to be. 


Researcher Witzke: | don't- so what is your 
relation to him? 


Civilian: [small laugh] \ did something very 
kind for him once. We've had a kind of 
friendship ever since. Either way, I'm not 
buying your story about being a reporter, miss. 


Researcher Witzke: Oh. Do you need a name 
or something? | can give you the number of 
my employ- 


Civilian: | don't really know who you are or 
anything, but whoever you represent, please 
let them know that he doesn't want any 
trouble. He doesn't hurt no one and his parties 
never get violent. He's just an old man looking 
for a feeling that's been lost to time. [hangs up]

SCP-2332: Thought Messenger 


Item #: SCP-2332 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2332 is to be contained in 
a repurposed dimensional testing room on Site-19’s Research Floor 
2 (the location of initial manifestation). The room’s ultraviolet light 
tubes are to be remotely switched on every 12 hours for a period of 
5 minutes; no personnel are to enter the room at this time. Security 
personnel assigned to nearby areas are to carry at least one blue 
laser pointer at all times. A box of spare blue laser pointers is to be 
kept inside the containment room. 


The containment area and adjacent hallways are to be monitored by 
video surveillance at all times. Level 3 security clearance is required 
for access to SCP-2332. Should a containment breach occur, 
SCP-2332 is to be immobilized (via laser exposure) and returned to 
its containment area; extra care is to be taken when handling 
SCP-2332 while it is immobile. 


Description: SCP-2332 is an entity that takes the shape of a 
butterfly, alternating between apparent forms of an Alpine Black 
Swallowtail (Papilio maackil) and a Sylphina Angel (Chorinea 
sylphina). SCP-2332 displays no morphological differences from 
non-anomalous butterflies with the exception of unusual wing 
patterns, which resemble false-color images of NGC 6302, a bipolar 
planetary nebula in the Scorpius constellation. Microscopic imaging 
reveals the layering of the scales on SCP-2332’s wings to resemble 
the structure of cortical columns found in human brains. 


SCP-2332 is extremely sensitive to light. Testing has revealed that 
SCP-2332 possesses an extreme aversion to concentrated 
electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths between 360 and 480 nm, 
and will enter a catatonic state if exposed to it for extended periods 
of time. Exposure to higher energy concentrated ultraviolet light 


(wavelengths around 90 nm), however, seems to produce 
rejuvenating effects. 


SCP-2332 is able to become temporarily intangible, noted during 
Incident-2332-2, in which it managed to escape containment by 
passing through the glass walls of the terrarium housing it. 
SCP-2332 has demonstrated similar behavior with plastic, mesh 
netting, and Plexiglas enclosures in experimental settings. Camera 
footage and subsequent inspection indicate that the material of the 
enclosures was not altered in any way. 


Though SCP-2332’s behavior generally consists of flying in circular 
patterns around its containment area, it has demonstrated the ability 
to communicate by tapping its forelegs together to produce 
vocalizations. SCP-2332 will speak in this manner (albeit haltingly) 
in the voice of whatever individual last addressed it; the means by 
which this is possible are unknown. 


Addendum 2332-1: Interviews with SCP-2332 are to take place 
regularly, to gather more information regarding its origin. (See 
interview log) 


Interview Log 2332-1-3 


Dr. Kiryu is seated in SCP-2332’s containment room, 
while SCP-2332 is stationed near the microphone. 


Dr. Kiryu: Tell me again, what you are. 


SCP-2332: |’m lost. A messenger thrown off by a stray 
supernova near my nebula. That’s the map for me. 


Dr. Kiryu: Where are you from? 


SCP-2332: I’m from here. This place. Another side of the 
mirror. It has many sides, and another you wanted to 
reach yet another. 


Dr. Kiryu: How do you know that? 


SCP-2332: Your people created me. Many others like 
me, messengers who cross the mirror. Isn’t that 


incredible? But | am mixed up. Two messages to the 
same place, two beings made one broken. Who | am. 


Dr. Kiryu: Who are you? 
SCP-2332: You, Mark Kiryu. | am you. 


Dr. Kiryu: Didn't you say the same to my assistant 
earlier? 


SCP-2332: Yes. I’m him too. His words and your words 
to deliver. It’s not worth trying to hurt me for the answers. 
Just wait for the mirror. Fix itself and | will return. The 
mistake will be undone. | need to wait in the same place. 
This is the wrong side, but same place. | will wait here. 


Dr. Kiryu: What about your message? 


SCP-2332: Another me will deliver it in the right time. It’s 
not for you. Not this side. 


Dr. Kiryu: Why send a butterfly? 


SCP-2332: Everyone thinks that something that travels 
as fast as light needs to look like other things that are 
fast. In another time, you think differently. 


Dr. Kiryu: | see. One last question, how did you fly 
through the terrarium wall earlier? 


SCP-2332: Is it strange that light can pass through 
glass?

SCP-2333: One Week To Live 


Item #: SCP-2333 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Currently, 15 samples of 
SCP-2333 are stored in Bio-Research Site 101. SCP-2333 must be 
contained under Biosafety Level 2 precautions. Minimal isolation is 
necessary for infected individuals. In the event of a breach, all on 
site personnel are to be screened for infection, with infected subjects 
isolated. 


SCP-2333-1 is to be contained in a humanoid containment cell 
under Biosafety Level 2 precautions. Standard rations are to be 
provided twice daily. A full medical examination is to occur ona 
biweekly basis. 


Research on SCP-2333 is currently restricted to personnel with 
Level 3 clearance or higher. 


Description: SCP-2333 is a group of complex artificial prions. 
SCP-2333 has an exceedingly low infectivity, with direct injection 
into neural tissue being the only known reliable route of infection. 
Injection into the blood results in infection in approximately 20% of 
cases. 


SCP-2333 causes the formation of anomalous fibrous 
conglomerates around neurons and myelin, which appear to 
promote increased neural signals and regeneration of tissue. This 
process occurs extremely rapidly, with symptoms appearing in as 
little as 12 hours. 


Symptoms of SCP-2333 infection appear no more than 24 hours 
following exposure. The first sign of infection is an extremely calm 
emotional state. Rapid neural growth results in regeneration of nerve 
tissue, resolving any previous neural injury or degenerative neural 


condition. Infection also results in the suppression of pain receptors. 
Lastly, subjects with SCP-2333 infection are no longer able to sleep 
and do not report increased fatigue. Analysis of several subjects' 
EEG readouts has been inconclusive. 


An average of seven days following initial infection, the 
concentration of SCP-2333 in neural tissue reaches a critical level, 
stimulating production of large amounts of melatonin. This marks the 
transition of infection into Stage 2. Infected subjects become drowsy 
and withdrawn, and lapse into a coma within 1 hour of Stage 2 
onset. After a mean of 3 hours following onset, subjects invariably 
experience a complete cessation of neurological activity. 


Subjects infected with SCP-2333 have a generally positive 
demeanor, though they seem to be instinctively aware of their 
imminent death. Most subjects display a desire to send farewells to 
family and friends, as well as perform various unrelated, often 
reckless behaviors. Subjects with any previous chronic disease will 
experience a marked improvement in symptoms, to the point of 
appearing as a complete recovery. 


SCP-2333-1 (formerly Dr. George S__) is a 39 year old Hispanic 
male, measuring 1.9 meters in height and weighing approximately 
90 kg. SCP-2333-1 is the sole known subject infected with 
SCP-2333 to not have progressed into Stage 2 of infection. At the 
time of this writing, SCP-2333-1's condition has not deteriorated 
over its months of containment. Subject displays the normal 
demeanor of subjects infected with SCP-2333. 


SCP-2333-1 displays a severe skull fracture consistent with a 
gunshot wound. MRI scanning of SCP-2333-1's head shows the 
presence of a small metallic object measuring 3mm in diameter in 
the subject's cerebellum. No symptoms of neurological damage are 
present in the subject. 


On / /20 , SCP-2333 was recovered from [REDACTED] Hospice 
Care in [REDACTED], when 5 researchers employed at the facility 
turned themselves in to local police, claiming anomalous results in a 
medical study being conducted. Foundation personnel discovered 
the case during a routine intelligence check, and agents were 
dispatched to investigate. It was discovered that SCP-2333 was 


being used as palliative care at the [REDACTED] facility. All 
researchers involved in the study were detained, and all employees 
not involved in the study were administered Class-B amnestics. The 
facility is currently under indefinite observation. 


Dr. : and Dr. Philip DD} =have been granted employment in 
return for their cooperation. 


Addendum: Log 2333-1 


The following is the journal of Dr : from / /20 ,to / 
/20 .Dr was the Lead researcher in Project Helios. 


/ 


The outside guys showed up today, so we can finally 
begin testing. I'm a little surprised at how small the team 
is, but I'm not going to complain. I've been working here 
for years, so it's about time that | got to be the head of 
something. 


We'll start testing the first samples tomorrow. 
[IRRELEVANT DATA REDACTED] 
/ 


Phil wanted to talk to me again today. He said that he 
didn't like the new focus of the study. | told him that it 
was his discovery, and that he should be glad that he 
was getting some credit. Apparently he didn't appreciate 
that, because he told me that | should be grateful that a 
"fucking moron" was the project head. 


Now that | think about it, that did kinda escalate quickly. 
Phil's never been quick to get so angry. He must really 
have a problem with something. 


/ 


| found out why Phil is angry. Apparently he thinks the 
focus on life extension is somehow inherently wrong, 


from a moral standpoint. 


| was about to talk to him about it when | learned that 
he'd asked for me to be removed as project head. | was 
going to be reasonable, but if this is how he's going to 
be, then | don't care about his morality. 


You know what? Screw morals. If | want to go big, I'm 
going big. 


/ 


Clinical trials are beginning today. Phil is still upset, but 
at this point, | don't care anymore. 


It's been about 20 hours now. The patients are up and 
alert. Gonna send one for an MRI, so we can make sure 
they're responding correctly. 


/ 


That bastard! He did something to the samples, | know it! 
The patients all just died, and there's no way that it 
wasn't him messing with the protein! 


| need to calm down. | have to get some samples. | need 
to prove that he did this.
