Description: SCP-2021 is the collective designation of 131 
(formerly 140) sheets of U.S. Letter-sized copy paper, found inside a 
cardboard box labeled in permanent marker "single-sided paper, 
please hold by the sides, patent pending place for my stuff". The 
obverse sides of the sheets are normal white copy paper, and the 
reverse sides apparently "invisible" or otherwise empty space. 
Stacking the sheets one atop the other has no anomalous effect, 
and use of opaque storage containers has been successful in 
containing the sheets. 


Experiments 2021-01 - 03 
Attending researcher Dr. Jaime Marlowe, D-14190, D- 

, one hamster 
Note: Prior to the experiment, Dr. Marlowe lost grip on a 
sheet of SCP-2021, causing it to land obverse-down onto 
a table. Instance could not be retrieved and no trace of 
the sheet could be detected 


Log 1: Dr. Marlowe places a sheet (with a strip of tape 
affixed to the edge to allow for easier retrieval) obverse- 
down onto a hamster placed on a table. Hamster 
remains visible, though shows signs of distress. Hamster 
crawls out from underneath the paper. Dr. Marlowe 
places the sheet reverse-down onto the hamster. The 
sheet flattens smoothly upon the surface, leaving no 
trace of the hamster. Dr. Marlowe carefully drags the 


paper along the surface of the table before lifting it again, 
successfully retrieving the hamster. 


Log 2: Multiple sheets of SCP-2021 are taped together 
and suspended with a wire from the ceiling of the testing 
chamber to create a larger opening. Two Class-D 
personnel, (D- and D-14190) are ordered to stand 
opposite one another with the sheet between them; the 
person behind the obverse side could see the shadow of 
the individual before them, while the person behind the 
reverse side could clearly see the other individual. The 
individual on the reverse side failed to heed instructions 
and reached out into the "invisible" side of the paper, 
before quickly withdrawing their hand and making 
contact with the outer edge of the paper. D-Class 
experienced a mild paper cut but nothing else unusual. 


Log 3: The experiment was repeated with Dr. Marlowe 
and D-14190. D-14190, facing the reverse side, could 
see Dr. Marlowe on the obverse side. The two could 
communicate verbally without issue. After some time, 
D-14190 was ordered to reach out and grab a volumetric 
beaker located on the table next to Dr. Marlowe. 
D-14190 complied, reaching into the empty space and 
successfully retrieving a beaker. However, the beaker 
located next to Dr. Marlowe was untouched. 


Addendum 1: D-14190 sought medical attention, complaining that 
their arm "[felt] like it belongs to someone else". Psychological 
examination revealed nothing anomalous in the patient, though the 
symptoms described are consistent with agnosia.! D-14190 also 
claimed to be unable to identify objects by touch using their right 
hand, consistent with astereognosis.2 It should be noted D-14190 
used their right arm in the experiment with SCP-2021. Dr. Marlowe 
has noted a similar effect on her left-hand middle and ring finger 
tips. 


Addendum 2: Several weeks after the experiment's end, 
Foundation personnel reported the lingering smell of decomposition 
in the testing chamber used in the experiment. Two thorough 
cleanings were done, but failed to remove the odor. The chamber 


has been temporarily shut down pending further attempts to fully 
cover the odor.

SCP-2022: Sunlight Pills™ 


Item #: SCP-2022 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2022 is to be stored and 
organized within a pitch black biohazardous storage room at a 
controlled room temperature of 10°C. Prescribed use of the 
supplements must be approved by the site director and medical 
staff. Over-dosages must be reported immediately to on-site 
physicians. Overuse of SCP-2022 is prohibited outside of testing 
purposes. 


Description: SCP-2022 refers to a collection of pharmaceutical 
drugs, denoted on their packaging as "Sunlight Pills™", consisting 
of: 


1. 5,000 Pharmaceutical blister trays (10-day) in paperboard 
packaging. 

2. 775 CGMP-compliant 210L drum liners labeled with respective 
brand name. (192 Seychelles®, 296 BoraBora®, 287 
Bahamas®). 

3. 31 plastic containers labeled "EXPERIMENTAL SUBJECT 
#00-30". 

4.90 cGMP-compliant foil laminate bags labeled "WARNING: 
UNREFINED MATERIALS". 


SCP-2022 are [SR] gelatin capsules that compress and constantly 
emit electromagnetic energies similar to sunlight and contains other 
unknown active ingredients, two of which are labeled Lumen and 
Kelvin (K), based on the packaging. How the capsules are able to 
compress and contain "sunlight" into a measurable and 
administrative form are currently unknown, with chemical analysis of 
the compounds used in synthesizing the drug yielding no results. 


Ingested orally, 1 dose of SCP-2022 steadily supplies the body with 


healthy, daily amounts of Vitamin D for up to an average of 16 
months (487 days). Subjects taking the supplement have reported 
feeling a gentle tropical breeze, scents of sea water, faint sounds of 
crashing waves, and a pleasant warmth within their bodies that 
fluctuate in intensity coinciding with the time of day,! although the 
sensation varies depending on the subject's skin pigmentation level 
and the brand of supplement taken. Increased bone health, skin 
complexion, and hair growth, along with significant decrease in 
infectious and autoimmune diseases have also been documented, 
but these results remain under further investigation. SCP-2022's 
effects accumulate exponentially, with each dosage (depending on 
brand) taken consecutively, increasing the effects as well as 
introducing various other hazardous and anomalous effects. 


Overuse of the supplements increase this sensation, with the test 
group experiencing increased burning sensations in organs, 
development of photosensitivity, sunburn, inflammation, dim to 
intense bioluminescence, Hypervitaminosis D, vomiting, nausea, 
dehydration, decreased appetite, insomnia, constipation, fatigue, 
irritability, myasthenia, and metastatic calcification. Other severe 
cases have reported various forms of cancer, large kidney stones, 
hypercalcemia, xeroderma, actinic keratosis, polymorphous light 
eruption, cataracts, macular degeneration, immune suppression, 
abnormal vascular functionality, solar elastosis, 1st-3rd degree 
(internal and external) burns, invisibility from the visible spectrum, 
and [REDACTED]. 


Individuals with skin coloration classified as Type VI (35+) on the 
Fitzpatrick scale have been shown to suffer abated to nullified 
effects from taking the prescribed or overused dosage of SCP-2022, 
compared to Type I-V. Individuals with albinism, surprisingly, show 
the same resistance to the hazardous health-effects of over-dosage 
as well, but are more susceptible to the anomalous effects of 
invisibility from the electromagnetic spectrum, intangibility through 
translucent objects, intense glowing and emission of UV light and 
gamma radiation, and achieving temperatures surpassing [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum 2022-01: SCP-2022 was created by the now-defunct 
Sunset Laboratories, a pharmaceutical research and development 


lab owned by the company Pharmaceuticals, headquartered in 

, France. The drugs were discovered during a drug raid on the 
suspected pharmacy, which was abandoned overnight, revealing a 
hidden basement locked behind a high-security door. After the 
security door was breached and the basement laboratory inspected, 
it was revealed the lab was stripped clean of all physical and 
electronic documents and data. The lab was found to be connected 
to an underground tunnel network connecting to the l'Ossuaire 
Municipal in Paris, France, suspected to be the method of escape 
for the Sunset Lab employees. The drugs were confiscated by the 
DEA and were immediately turned over to the Foundation. No 
records related to Sunset Laboratories, its employees, SCP-2022, or 
the company Pharmaceuticals have been recovered since the 
raid, with investigations still ongoing. 


Addendum 2022-02: Slogan from the back of SCP-2022's 
packaging: 


“Moodiness, flaccid skin, looking dull, tendency to depression? 
Obviously you are in lack of sunshine! Our range of 
supplements restores the vitality you need. Sunset Laboratories 
offer a wide range of solar radiation, from Borabora to the 
Maldives, Haiti and the Bahamas. Just ask your pharmacist. 
Read the instructions carefully. Do not exceed the 
recommended daily dose. These Solar supplements are not 
intended to be a substitute to natural exposure. Avoid abusive 
use." 


Addendum 2022-03: Blister trays of SCP-2022 have been 
categorized into several product brand names, including: 
BoraBora®, Seychelles®, Maldives®, Bahamas®, and Haiti®, 
each having their own dosages of the active ingredients, Lumen and 
K. The Maldives® and Haiti® brands have not been found among 
the drugs collected, presumably unlabeled or non-existent. The 
packaging of SCP-2022 appear to be conceptual designs, lacking 
supplement/drug facts typical of FDA-approved OTC (over-the- 
counter) drugs. After extensive testing and experimentation with the 
drug, the Foundation medical staff has approved prescribed use of 
the supplements to Foundation personnel. 


The confiscated drum liners all contain the processed brand of drug 
supplement corresponding to their respective label. These were 


speculated to be drug barrels delivered to the pharmacy for 
pharmaceutical packaging. Given their abundance and consistency 
to their packaged form, these drugs are allowed to be used in place 
of the blister trays for testing and experimentation purposes only. 


The 31 bottles collected all contain various unit dosage forms of the 
supplement, several of which have unique drug-delivery systems. 
The dosage forms include: tablets, caplets, powder, solid crystal, 
liquid suspensions, thin films, topical cream, deodorant, pastes, 
balm, otic and ophthalmic drops, vaginal rings, transdermal patches, 
and various suppositories. All units contain a weakened incarnation 
of the drug meant for experimentation purposes. Due to the scarce 
supply available and possible risk-factors, experimentation with 
these unit forms is not allowed at this time. 


The foil laminated bags contain unrefined and unstable versions of 
the supplement. The unrefined supplements have high brisance, 
and are extremely sensitive to detonation, the explosive velocity of 1 
capsule reaching up to [REDACTED]. Being unrefined materials, 
taking this form of SCP-2022 is not recommended by any means. 
Following the events documented in Incident 2022-SOLAR-12, pill- 
splitting or any other invasive methods are strictly prohibited, and all 
foil bags of SCP-2022 are to be contained separately from the other 
instances of SCP-2022. 


Footnotes 
1. The time of day is based on the current timezone of the isles each 
brand is named after. This has no effect on subjects’ sleep cycle.

SCP-2023: Aidoneus' Apology 


Item #: SCP-2023 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: A perimeter is to be established 
around the hillside area surrounding the origin point of SCP-2023. 
Security personnel assigned to the containment of SCP-2023 are to 
maintain the guise of a team of archaeologists overseeing a 
historical excavation and restoration process. Any unauthorized 
persons attempting to enter the perimeter are to be turned away with 
the explanation of keeping the area undisturbed. 


Description: SCP-2023 is a localized phenomenon that occurs 
approximately 7 km from the city of Enna, Italy. SCP-2023’s point of 
origin is a cave located near the banks of a small lake surrounded 
by hills and cliffs; the cave appears to only be visible if approached 
on foot. 


SCP-2023 consists of the spontaneous appearance of various 
wildflowers at the mouth of the cave, spreading outwards a distance 
of 2 meters and apparently growing directly out of the surrounding 
stone. The most numerous species include white asphodel 
(Asphodelus albus) and various types of narcissus including poet’s 
narcissus (Narcissus poeticus), angel’s tears (Narcissus triandrus), 
and wild daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus). Close inspection 
reveals that the flowers are not composed of organic material but 
rather thinly-cut and delicately-arranged precious gemstones. The 
jeweled flowers produced by SCP-2023 disintegrate if touched, and 
disappear after a period of 2 to 3 days (roughly 48 to 72 hours). No 
remains or traces are left on the ground when the flowers disappear. 


Though SCP-2023 occurs intermittently and unpredictably, a 
significant variant of the phenomenon has been observed yearly at 
the onset of the autumn season. SCP-2023’s range will extend to 
approximately 5 meters, and the flowers will be accompanied by 


non-native lesser batwing butterflies (Atrophaneura aidoneus). Both 
will remain until snowfall begins in the mountains of the surrounding 
province (Sicily). At the advent of the first frost, any wind that passes 
through the area will trigger vibrations in the flowers, resulting in the 
gems producing melodic tones similar to human vocalizations. This 
anomaly will cease by the next morning. 


Addendum SCP-2023-1: Though the cave of SCP-2023’s initial 
manifestation has been investigated, no significant interior features 
(e.g. tunnels, caverns) have been discovered beyond the cave’s 
entrance. However, the rock wall facing the cave opening was noted 
to possess the following inscription (translated from Greek), carved 
into the stone face: 


This is the only life | can hope to offer 

Lend me your smile and tears awhile 

You outweigh the long days of darkness 

Beloved, dear queen, please continue to return. 

The gates to the world below will always open to you 
Whether you enter or leave them. 


Additionally, small fragments of metal were found scattered on the 
cave floor. Lab analysis indicated the metal to be high-purity iron. 


Addendum SCP-2023-2: On 17 July 2003 at midday, SCP-2023 
manifested only one jeweled species of flower, common hyacinth 
(Hyacinthus orientalis). Throughout the late afternoon and early 
evening, native butterflies of various species were noticed carrying 
small sprigs of thyme to the entrance of the cave. The herbs 
disappeared after nightfall.

SCP-2024: Mixing Rod 


Item #: SCP-2024 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2024 is to be stored ina 
1m by 20 cm by 5 cm case lined with packaging foam molded to fit 
SCP-2024's shape. A tube of packaging foam with one open end is 
to be fitted around SCP-2024's handle such that the handle is 
covered completely. Personnel are not to hold SCP-2024 by its shaft 
while SCP-2024 is active. SCP-2024's tag is to remain attached 
while SCP-2024 is in storage and during normal testing. If the tag is 
removed for special testing, personnel are to wear protective 
sunglasses and lead-lined bodysuits. Personnel who are adversely 
deformed by SCP-2024 are to be given localized injections of 
bismuth subsalicylate until stable. 


Efforts are to be made to contain POI-2024-05.
