the bottom in a pool of water that extends for an unknown depth. 
The walls of the space consist of limestone. The corpse is 
suspended inside SCP-2784-A by 14 strands of string displaying 
anomalous tensile strength that anchor into the walls and wrap 
around the corpse. So far no method has been found that is able to 
cut these strands or work the corpse free. The entrance to 
SCP-2784-A is located in a first floor bedroom of the suburban 
house at Road, , where the North and West walls meet 
the ceiling. Anything approaching this corner of the room is 
transported into SCP-2784-A. 


SCP-2784 was brought to the Foundation's attention when the 
entrance to SCP-2784-A was discovered by Mr& Mrs. __, acouple 
who had recently moved into the house at Road, , . The 
couple was administered amnestics and the Foundation took 
ownership of the residence. In interviews prior to amnestization the 
couple indicated that they were repeatedly questioned by SCP-2784 
instances about Andrew who was implied to be a current 
resident of the house. 


Addendum 2784-1: The Foundation was able to contact the couple 
Officially listed as Andrew 's parents, who moved away in 2005. 
They indicated that they considered Andrew to still be living in 

and claimed to have spoken to him "recently" but could not 
remember what the conversation was about. They have been 
designated as SCP-2784 instances, bringing the total number up to 
14. A DNA test performed on the corpse inside SCP-2784-A reveals 
that it is likely Andrew 


Addendum 2784-2: A collection of origami sculptures was 
recovered from the house containing SCP-2784-A, including an 
origami box that unfolded into two pieces of paper containing 
handwritten notes. The handwriting matches that of Andrew 
Notably, the origami box was smaller than the dimensions of the two 
pieces of paper should physically allow for. Other origami sculptures 
recovered from the house show similar anomalies. 


+ Document 2784-1 


The Plan: Use that one corner in the bedroom. 
It's just like folding paper. Remember: just like 


folding paper. Messing with people's heads is 
trickier but you can do it. It's for the best. Don't 
make them worry about you. Make sure they 
won't miss you. Open Unfold it, go inside, set it 
up. 

!! IMPORTANT !! Remember to pull the hole in 
after you!

Interview 2784-3: 
Interviewed: SCP-2784-10 
Interviewer: Dr. 


Foreword: Interview conducted with SCP-2784-10, who 
agreed to discuss their perceptions of Andrew 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. —: Before we begin you should know that | may say 


some things that will disturb you. Is that okay? 
SCP-2784-10: Yeah, I'm alright with that. 


Dr. —: Good. Now, why did you ask Mr & Mrs all 
those questions? 


SCP-2784-10: Ah, well, | mean | didn't realize Andy was 
renting the place out. | mean, people start showing up at 
your friend's place with no warning, you're gonna be 
curious, right? 


Dr. | see. Now, when would you say you started 
seeing Andrew ? 


SCP-2784-10 laughs. 


SCP-2784-10: What do you mean started seeing him? 
My family moved here when | was, what, 5? We live 
across the street from him, I've seen him ever since. 


Dr. _: What can you tell me about Andrew? 


SCP-2784-10: He's... well, it's kinda funny, you know? 
The thing that really sticks out about him is how lucky he 
is, right? Like, any of the boardgames we play - you 
know, dice and cards, if Andy really wants to win, he 
does. | mean, not all the time, of course. But | don't think 
he ever lost anything high stakes. Other than that, he's a 
cool guy. Pretty nice, | don't think he had any real 
problems with anyone. 


Dr. : Ca- 


SCP-2784-10: Oh, and one other neat thing Andy does 
is, he's into origami, right? Making things out of paper? 
He's really good at it, makes some crazy stuff. Like, stuff 
we can never figure out how he does it. We ask and he 
just like smirks and won't say. But not in a malicious way, 
you now? It's just Andy being Andy. 


Dr. —_: Thank you. Can you recall the details of your last 


conversation with him? 


SCP-2784-10: Oh yeah, it was, uh... we were talking 
about this... Oh, Andy does this thing with string, that's 
another thing he does, like the origami, yeah? He's 
always making these weird knots that no one can figure 
out. He must have been showing me another one of 
those. Something like that. 


SCP-2784-10 laughs. 


Dr. _:1|see. Have you noticed any significant change 
in his behavior at all? 


SCP-2784-10: Well, a while back, when we were 
teenagers, he got kind of... withdrawn and a little shy, | 
think? He got better when we grew up and his parents 
moved away, though. He's still a little shy, | guess, like 
how he doesn't want to be around new people. | mean, 
as far as | know he just hangs out with the people he 
knew in high school. 


Dr. _: Do you know what could have caused the 
change in his personality? 


SCP-2784-10: Uh, no, | don't. | mean, it's not really 
important, is it? He still seems happy these days. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: SCP-2784-10 believes the Andrew 
they hallucinate to be the Andrew they knew 
before he died. All SCP-2784 instances display a similar 
belief. Interview revealed no cause for concern, and no 
updates to containment procedures are needed at this 

time.

SCP-2785: Self-Replicating Automaton 


Item #: SCP-2785 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The current instance of 
SCP-2785 is to be kept within a standard Euclid-class containment 
cell. The room is to be completely barren with no furniture, and 
observation of SCP-2785 is to take place using security cameras 
behind bulletproof glass. SCP-2785 does not require sustenance. 
No materials containing metal of any kind are allowed within 
SCP-2785's cell. The outer layer of SCP-2785's cell is to be lined 
with a layer of lead that is to be inspected biweekly for damages. 


+ Former Containment Procedures (Overriden by O5- 
07/ /2014) 


SCP-2785 is to be kept in a standard Euclid-class 
containment cell. The room is to be completely barren 
with no furniture, and observation of SCP-2785 is to take 
place using security cameras behind bulletproof glass. 
SCP-2785 does not require sustenance. 


For at least one hour per day, as a reward for good 
behavior, SCP-2785 has the choice to freely roam 
Site-17 and interact with personnel. During this period, at 
least two security guards are to monitor SCP-2785 for 
any suspicious activity. SCP-2785 is not allowed to enter 
restricted areas, nor come within fifty meters of any 
artifact capable of affecting machinery. 


Prior to SCP-2785-1 events, SCP-2785 is to be given the 
required resources for the event. These resources are 
not to exceed a total of 2 cubic meters. The room where 
an SCP-2785-1 event occurs is to have a working 
ventilation system. Once SCP-2785-1 is complete, the

previous instance of SCP-2785 is to be disposed of via 
incineration. This is considered a further reward for good 
behavior, therefore if SCP-2785 begins to display 
undesirable traits, this privilege is to be revoked. 


Description: SCP-2785 is a fully functional automaton made 
entirely out of mechanical parts. SCP-2785 is 1.2 meters tall and is 
fully capable of movement and speech!. SCP-2785's appearance 
varies from instance to instance. When not in the process of an 
SCP-2785-1 event, SCP-2785 has been reported to be polite to 
Foundation staff, often offering to help when it feels that it is needed. 


SCP-2785-A is a set of three gears, colored a light shade of green. 
SCP-2785-A appears to be the source of SCP-2785's anomalous 
properties, apparently rotating itself using an unknown energy 
source to power SCP-2785. In newer instances of SCP-2785, 
SCP-2785-A has stopped turning, instead giving off electrons at 250 
volts to power SCP-2785. Direct analysis is impossible, since 
SCP-2785-A is always sealed within a chamber within SCP-2785 
locked in a way not yet understood, and attempting contact with 
SCP-2785-A during the Transfer phase of SCP-2785-1 will result in 
[DATA REDACTED]. However, long distance analysis has 
confirmed that SCP-2785-A is made up entirely of organic material. 


Once a year, on January 17th, starting at 0412, SCP-2785 will enter 
an SCP-2785-1 event. This event occurs in four phases: 


-Collection: SCP-2785 will move around to find suitable materials in 
the general vicinity. While in this trance state, SCP-2785 will 
disregard personnel, and has been noted to actively avoid obstacles 
in the search of materials. These materials are usually various 
metals, types of rocks, strips of cloth, and more recently, electronic 
devices. Once SCP-2785 has a collection of materials deemed 
suitable, it will move on to the next phase. 


-Construction: SCP-2785 will use said materials to construct the 
basic frame of a similarly shaped automaton. SCP-2785 will often 
deploy various tools from within itself that it has been either unable 
or unwilling to deploy outside of an SCP-2785-1 event. Notable tools 
include a large hammer (used to hammer metal into certain shapes), 
a large saw (used to cut non-metal components), a plate capable of 


heating itself through unknown means (used to heat metal), and a 
corkscrew ([DATA REDACTED)]). During this phase, the automaton 
reaches anywhere from 43 to 66 percent completion. 


-Transfer: SCP-2785 will then take SCP-2785-A out of its chest 
cavity and put it into the automaton. Approximately eight seconds 
later, SCP-2785 will cease animation, and the automaton will 
animate itself. For all intents and purposes, this new automaton is 
now SCP-2785, as the previous instance of SCP-2785 has ceased 
anomalous properties. 


-Finalization: SCP-2785 will transfer internal parts, such as gear 
systems and tools used in construction, from the previous instance 
of SCP-2785 to itself. When SCP-2785 has reached 100% 
completion, it will resume its former behavior. 


In all recorded SCP-2785-1 events, 27% have resulted in a new 
SCP-2785 instance with no notable changes, while 73% have 
resulted in variable changes designed to improve SCP-2785. Some 
of these changes include replacement of one of SCP-2785's hooks 
that was formerly used to manipulate objects with a fully functional, 
humanlike hand, shrinkage of SCP-2785, implementation of several 
clockwork devices, replacing a portion of SCP-2785's system of 
gears and pullies, replacement of its left hand with one of several 
tools (this improvement is the most common of SCP-2785's 
improvements), and implementation of electronic devices within 
SCP-2785, replacing several of its mechanical components. This 
includes motors, various sensors, and processing units. 


Addendum 2785.1: 


Records have shown that SCP-2785 was created in 1849 by 
Russian engineer , hereby referred to as SCP-2785-B. After 
his wife had a miscarriage, SCP-2785-B fell into depression, and 
spent most of his time creating sculptures. He created an 
approximate sculptures out of various materials, one of these 
sculptures being SCP-2785. None of these sculptures have shown 
any anomalous properties except for SCP-2785. Due to SCP-2785- 
B's disappearance in 1856, combined with SCP-2785-A's organic 
composition, it is assumed that [DATA EXPUNGED], leading to the 
creation of SCP-2785-A and therefore SCP-2785. It is unknown how 


SCP-2785-B managed to harness SCP-__, nor how he managed to 
delay its effect for so long. 


SCP-2785 came to the Foundation's attention in, when denizens 
of the village of : reported a "monstrosity made out of 
metal" stealing their belongings. SCP-2785 was captured by the 
Foundation and brought to Area- , where it remained until the 
construction of Site-17 in 1963, when it was then moved there at the 
request of Project Supervisor .SCP-2785 has been in 
Foundation custody for years and has undergone a corresponding 
number of SCP-2785-1 events. 


Addendum 2785.2: 
+ Level 2 Clearance Required 
Interviewed: SCP-2785 
Interviewer: Researcher Calvin 


Foreword: This interview was carried out after 
a regular SCP-2785-1 event, in order to further 
ascertain the nature of SCP-2785, 

<Begin Log, 01/17/2005 : > 


Researcher Calvin: (in Russian) Greetings, 
SCP-2785. | was hoping tha- (interrupted) 


SCP-2785: (in English) You do not have to 
speak my language. | am able to speak yours. 


Researcher Calvin: (in English) Wha- could 
you please tell me how you learned how to 
speak "our language"? 


SCP-2785: Your people speak it all the time. | 
decided it was easier for your people if | 
learned your language. 


Researcher Calvin: ...okay. How are you, 
SCP-2785? 


SCP-2785: | am doing well today, my friend. | 
thank you for asking. 


Researcher Calvin: It's my pleasure. Now, 
could you please give some insight on why 
you undergo SCP-2785-1 events? 


SCP-2785: | am sorry, but | have not learned 
that term yet. Could you please describe it to 
me? 


Researcher Calvin: | believe you refer to it as 
"NMpeo6pasoBanne"2. 


SCP-2785: Oh. Are you saying that you do not 
transform? 


Researcher Calvin: Pardon? 


SCP-2785: Three cycles ago, | perceived you 
with slightly more orange skin than usual. | had 
assumed you had transformed. 


Researcher Calvin: What? No, that was 
just... that wasn't a transformation. 


SCP-2785: Oh. | had assumed you had made 
yourself more orange, in order to make 
yourself more attractive to your peers. 


Researcher Calvin: No, | did not. Are you 
saying that you undergo SCP-2785-1 events in 
order to become more attractive? 


SCP-2785: Unfortunately, | cannot feel love. | 
preform transformations to make myself better. 


Researcher Calvin: Could you please 
elaborate?
