SCP-800 was retrieved in January 1979 from an antiques shop in 
the city of — , in the southeast of the Republic of Korea. The 
proprietor, one Mr - M_ , claimed to have a 'magic' painting which 
altered its appearance over the years; at the time, it displayed its 
present appearance. It was discovered on chance by Dr. , who 
was skeptical of its owners' claims and only wished to purchase it for 
personal use. However, Dr. noticed that it possessed at least 
some extranormal properties by accidentally staining it with ink, then 
noticing the stain had disappeared after a period of 2 days. Upon 
Foundation examination it was determined to be of no SCP-level 
significance and put in storage at Site- . It attained SCP 
classification in mid-1979, at the beginning of the Sino-Vietnamese 
Border War, when it changed overnight to an 18th-century Qing 
Dynasty painting of a Chinese dragon flying over rice paddies 


| Will Go looked to the mural. The beach still moved around, lively as 
ever. Strangely, even with the cold shower and the enticing view, he 
felt tired. It'd be fine. He could check it out later. Sleep beckoned, 
and he wanted to answer its call. 


The bodies were gone. The table disappeared. The music felt less 
like traditional music and more like textures. The doors were 
nowhere to be found. The marble bust was placed on the ground, 
looking at | Will Go. The mural changed to a night view of the beach. 


"What the Hell is this..." 


He walked forward towards the mural, unsure of what to do. This 
was the first time he had properly inspected it. There was a lot that 
was off about it now. Maybe he should have focused on it first 
before anything else, because he would have approached the 
situation differently. 


It wasn't just moving. It looked realistic. 
Good morning. 
"Seems like it's night." 


In a sustainable resource-driven future, night as a concept has no 
purpose. 


"What's going on here?" 


Imagine a more vibrant world, free from shopping centers and 
normality. This is home. 


"No, I'm not accepting that. | want an actual answer now." There 
was silence. The music had stopped, and all that remained was the 
sound of the ocean. It took a few minutes before the voice came 
back. 


What kind of products do you purchase at the store? 


"What kind of —" 


Apple, Oscar-Myer, Dell, Aqualabs, Hershey, Sanofi, Hasbro, 
Bones, HGTV, all of our wonderful selections are available at the 
low cost of free. Choices are endless and unlimited. Society has 
opened itself up to give us these flexible options. This is the power 
of consumerism. 


| Will Go had no response. He felt like it made sense, but he wasn't 
able to reach it. 


Do you recall what the is? It's a ball of gas that acts as a star 
that heats up our world. What pets do you like to take care of? There 
are many wonderful choices for companions. 


We have fulfilled our purposes. Feelings of nostalgia and eras gone 
by have taken root in you. Normalcy is in vogue, and we must simply 
build off of it. There is no greater pioneer than those have taken the 
first step into bigger, dangerous worlds. 


This is your reward. 


Welcome home. 


The lights shut off, and everything went quiet except for the sounds 
of the ocean. | Will Go had no idea what to make of it. After thinking 
it through, there were only two options. He could sit there in the 
darkness of the chamber, and be content to continue his ritual of 
thinking and sleeping. His water supply had ran out. So eventually, 
he would... he would... 


Huh. He didn't know what would happen. Even as his head rang in 
pain from the thought, it hurt a lot less than he expected. That just 
left the second option of seeing if he could really step through the 
mural. That felt like the only reasonable path left. Plus, the beach... 
it looked so inviting. 


| Will Go stepped through the mural, 


and ended up on the beach. It was night. The ocean lapped onto the 
shore every so often, and the moon shone diligently in the sky. 
There were trees behind him. He really was gone. He was outside 
now. He found beauty in the stillness around him, and he 
remembered what home felt like. 


| Will Go looked up into the sky and studied it. He never recalled 
seeing stars before.

Experiment Log - SCP- (START) 

Objective: Determine results of extended exposure to SCP- 
Notes: SCP-_ was retrieved during operation 2-5 after it was 
determined to be emitting abnormally high quantities of upper 
bandwidth EM radiation. During its storage in site-46, SCP- 's 
emissions have decreased nearly 40% from readings taken during 
operation 2-5. 

D-Class Profile: D-3466 has been convicted of two cases of 
manslaughter, [DATA EXPUNGED]. D-3466 is described as 


extremely introverted, with a proficiency for programming and 
mathematics. 


BEGIN LOG 
Day 1 - 0 Hours since initial exposure 


00:00 - Subject ( : , D-3466) escorted into a large room 
with a poster depicting SCP-  . The room is furnished with a bed,

books of varying topics. 


00:24 - Subject quickly falls asleep, no effects of SCP- observed. 


07:30 - Rations are given to Subject by research assistant 

Subject mentions dreams involving SCP- _, but is unable to 
elaborate further. Upon requests for research assistant to remain 
in the chamber, "to talk", quickly departs. 


08:27 - After reviewing several of the books within the test chamber, 
subject begins looking at SCP-__, and maintains viewing for the next 
38 minutes. 


09:05 - Subject mumbles something directed at SCP-  , and shakes 
his head. Subject takes one of the books (identified as "Universe in 
a Nutshell" by ) and begins reading.

Dr. _: Earlier today, when you were speaking with my 
assistant, you mentioned you had dreams involving 
SCP- , can you describe them? 


D-3466: | liked talking with her, you should let her to talk 
with me more. 


Dr. : Perhaps, if you describe your dreams. 


D-3466: [sighs] It's hard. | was [pauses] | was, like, 
floating, and | could hear a voice. It was really strange, 
when | was dreaming | felt really... peaceful? Like that. 


Dr. : What was the voice saying? 
D-3466: | don't remember. 

Dr. : Are you sure? 

D-3466: Uhm... no- [pauses] yes. 


Dr. :1think you do remember something, are you 
scared of it? Is that why you don't want to talk about it? 


D-3466: Maybe... [pauses] maybe if we went in the room 
together it'd help me to remember? | like company, it 
gets lonely in there. 


Dr. : I'm afraid that's not possible D-3466. But you 
must remember something if you could talk about it in 
the testing chamber and not here. 


D-3466: No, no... you should come with me into the 
room, it'd help! 


Dr. : Ah, that's our time. Please return to the testing 
chamber D-3466. 


D-3466: No. No! Come with me! [guards restrain D-3466 
and return him to the testing chamber] Fuck! Come! 


Dr. :D-3466 appears to have become extremely 
extroverted, and suffers from anxiety when going without 
contact. He obviously remembers something from his 
dreams, but is unwilling or unable to elaborate.

13:00 - Resistance is encountered when reintroduction to testing 
chamber is attempted, force is used. Subject uses several expletives 
before returning to reading. 


14:33 - Subject throws the book down, begins scratching at his 
palms, and complains of skin irritation. Large irregular red patches 
are visible on Subject's hands. 


15:17 - Symptoms appear to subside. Subject stops scratching his 
palms and resumes reading. Faint red patches are still visible on the 
palms and fingertips, and appear to be spreading up the forearm. 


17:30 - Rations given to Subject by research assistant =. Subject 
expresses intense anxiety when research assistant leaves, and 
pounds on the door for several minutes. 


17:52 - Subject observed sleeping. Symptoms of intense scratching 
and bright red patches reappear during the course of the night. The 
patches have grown across most of Subject's upper torso and face. 


Day 2 - 24 Hours since initial exposure 


05:28 - Subject begins convulsing from excessive blood loss due to 
lacerations created through scratching. Upon questioning, night staff 
were unable to answer as to why they did not intervene sooner. 
Wounds are covered in gauze, and a blood transfusion and sedative 
are administered. 


07:30 - Rations are delivered, Subject is still asleep. Wounds not 
covered by gauze are showing abnormally high healing rates. Scar 
tissue appears to be coalescing to form several designs resembling 
SCP- 


08:22 - Sedative wears off, Subject awakes and immediately begins 
stripping off gauze to reveal fully-healed wounds. Duplicates of 
SCP- cover the Subject's hands, arms, upper torso and face. 
Subject takes ballpoint pen and begins drawing pictures of SCP- , 
laying them beneath SCP- or pushing them up against the viewing 
window. 


10:46 - Subject consumes meal intended for breakfast before 
returning to drawing. 


12:00 - Second interview with Subject. Please see recording log 2-5- 
E12.

D-3466: [scratches his hands and forearm] 


Dr. :D-3466, as you are aware we had to sedate you 
earlier today to prevent you from dying from lacerations 
caused by this incessant scratching, | suggest you stop 
before we have to sedate you again. 


D-3466: [slows scratching] | had another dream last 
night. 


Dr. : What happened? 
D-3466: I'll tell you if you come into the room. 
Dr. _: I've told you already, | can't do that. 


D-3466: You should come in. We- [pauses] | want you to 
come in. You'll like it. 


Dr. :We? Who is we? 
D-3466: We are friends. You should come, you'll like it. 
Dr. : D-3466, if you tell me more I'll come in. 


D-3466: All it wants to do is give you love. [begins 
scratching violently, bleeds over the interview table] 


Dr. : Guards, please restrain him. [D-3466 makes 
aggressive movements] Guards! 


D-3466: [struggles] Come! You'll like it! We only want to 
give you love! Love! [D-3466 is forcibly returned to 
testing chamber] 


Dr. : D-3466 is showing signs of possible 
schizophrenia, however a psycho-telepathic ability on 
part of SCP- is not above suspicion. Given D-3466's 


current state of mind and the risk of injury coming to both 
D-3466 and others, I'm suspending D-3466's access to 
the interviewing room and barring access to the testing 
chamber by site personnel. 


Recording Log 2-5-E12 (END RECORDING) 


13:00 - Subject shows heavy resistance to reintroduction to testing 
chamber, makes many requests for additional personnel to enter the 
chamber. 


14:47 - Tissues of the legs and forearms have malformed into larger 
versions of SCP-_ . Tumor-like clumps of detritus (what appears to 
be skin and hair) have formed on Subject's torso. The ballpoint pen 
has run out of ink, and from this point onward Subject tears pieces 
of paper, reorganizing these into illustrations of SCP- 


17:30 - Due to the increasingly unpredictable behaviour of subject, 
research assistant delivers rations through a slot on the lower- 
half of the chamber entrance. Subject repeatedly pleas for research 
assistant to enter, who becomes visibly distraught at Subject's 
actions and leaves the observation room. 


18:11 - Subject consumes rations, and begins crying. 


18:15 - Subject stops crying, and stands still for one minute and 
twenty-four seconds. Afterwards, Subject retrieves plastic knife from 
earlier meal. 


18:17 - A makeshift dirk is fashioned from the plastic knife, and 
Subject repeatedly stabs himself in the chest and waist. Where large 
lacerations were present from excessive scratching, 
disembowelment has occurred. Subject shows no expression of pain 
or loss of lucidity during this experience, despite massive blood loss 
from wounds. Dr. _ orders medical team to refrain from assisting 
subject given SCP-_ 's effects. 


18:19 - Subject gores his eyes into shapes resembling SCP- 


18:21 - Subject vomits a mixture of blood and organ debris before 
lapsing into unconsciousness. Numerous convulsions are 


experienced throughout the night. Subject's body shows extreme 
scar tissue build up and disfiguration. 


Day 3 - 48 Hours since initial exposure 


03:50 - Subject awakes. Subject's left arm has fused with its torso, 
and various cysts have developed across most of its appendages. 
Subject has lost all sexual characteristics. Subject's nose has 
regressed into the zygomatic bone, and excessive mucus production 
occurs. 


03:54 - Subject begins "painting" the walls with images of SCP- 
using a mixture of mucus, blood, vomit, [REDACTED]. This action 
continues through the morning. 


07:30 - Rations presented and removed, Subject shows no interest 
in consumption. 


12:00 - Third interview with Subject. Please see recording log 2-5- 
E13. 

Note: Due to increased volatility in subject, interview was conducted 
through speakers and microphones implanted in test chamber.

Dr. :D-3466,thisis Dr. . How are you? 


D-3466: [inaudible noises] You should come in, love for 
you. 


Dr. : What are you creating? 
D-3466: Eyes for my love. It loves me. 
Dr. : Whatis the objective of your "love"? 


D-3466: To love others, of course. You can be one of 
them. You should come into the room. [shows slight 


(SCP-800-10). After this event, Foundation staff tracked down Mr 

M for interrogation; it was revealed the painting had been in his 
family since the beginning of the 20th century, when his grandfather 
purchased it from a merchant in Shanghai. As Mr M_ was the only 
known source of information on SCP-800 and its prior appearances, 
he was recruited as a research assistant and was SCP-800's 
caretaker until 2007, when he died of natural causes. Dr. Major 
subsequently took responsibility for SCP-800's custody. 


Addendum 800-1: 


A partial list of all known incarnations of SCP-800 follows, along with 
the historical event they are believed to correspond to. Save a small 
number of photos (one of which may be seen above), all 
descriptions before 1977 are obtained by word of mouth from Mr 

M_ or his acquaintances; their accuracy may therefore be 
somewhat suspect. 


* 800-1 (presumably 1904-1905): unknown style (possibly 
Japanese), allegedly a bear struggling in the water, with a sun 
overhead. Information on 800-1 is limited as Mr M_ only 
recalled his elderly grandmother repeatedly mentioning a 
painting of this description hanging in their house when she 
was young. Presumably depicts the Russo-Japanese war. 
800-2 (1905?-19367) No information available. 

800-3 (1936?-19417?): unknown style, allegedly a dragon 
surrounded by cherry blossoms. Presumably depicts the 
Second Sino-Japanese War. 

800-4 (1941 ?-1945): Chinese style of unknown era, allegedly 
an eagle perched on a mountain, with a dragon and rising 
water beneath. Presumably depicts the East Asian theatre of 
World War Two. MrM_ claimed the canvas went temporarily 
blank in mid-1945; this may correspond to the atomic 
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
