GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) revealed a cylindrical structure 4.5 
meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 6 meters tall, along with five 
human skeletons. An excavation began January 2nd, 1999, which 
unearthed the full structure. It appeared to be a shrine, with a roof 
held up by four pillars, and a basin on a pedestal in the middle. The 
bottom of the basin was carved with a Celtic knot, and was heavily 
discolored from chitin and dried human blood. Each pillar had a 
sconce containing a candle, and smoke stains suggest that three of 
the four candles had been lit. The five human skeletons were found 
to be adult females with silver rings on their fingers. Four of the 
bodies were found with arrowheads near or inside their skeletons. 
Two of the skulls suffered heavy impact trauma. The fifth body was 
positioned by the shrine's basin, accompanied by a sacrificial 
dagger, dusted with a translucent green material. The skeleton 
showed five broken ribs, and damage done to the orbital bones, 
likely from a blade. 


SCP-3018 now hold Alban-A events exclusively on the basin within 
the shrine, and will enter torpor on it at night. SCP-3018 will 
regularly collect around the figure at the base of the shrine, and 
adorn it with flowers.

SCP-3019: The Soylent Nursery 


Item #: SCP-3019 

Object Class: Euclid 

Special Containment Procedures: 
Revision-A 


Site-919 has been established in close proximity to 
SCP-3019 under the guise of a telecommunications hub 
to monitor any attempted intrusion into SCP-3019. 
Foundation Personnel are to apprehend any civilian 
attempting to enter SCP-3019 after sundown for 
questioning. Questioned civilians are to be administered 
class C amnestics and released. Foundation personnel 
are not to enter SCP-3019 after sunset without Level-3 
approval. 


Revision-B 


Site-919 has been established in close proximity to SCP-3019 under 
the guise of a telecommunications hub. Following Incident 3019-F1- 
A, SCP-3019 is to be kept running and operational. A minimum of 
three Foundation agents are to be embedded into each department 
of SCP-3019 as employees for monitoring purposes and to ensure 
all employees within SCP-3019 vacate the property a minimum of 
one hour before sundown of each day. 


Foundation staff are to be installed under the guise of private 
security outside the boundary of SCP-3019 at least one hour before 
nightfall each day to deter any potential intruders. Under no 
circumstance is any intruding civilian to be followed into SCP-3019 
after sunset. In the event a civilian survives a night in SCP-3019, 
they are to be questioned and administered Class-C Amnestics and 


released if appropriate. Cleaning crews are to remove any evidence 
of SCP-3019-A's activities before the arrival of the employees 
working at SCP-3019 during the day, who may not enter the 
grounds before 8:00AM. 


Description: SCP-3019 is the property owned by ‘s Nursery, 
located on the outskirts of , Australia. The property covers 
eight square kilometres, primarily composed of the following areas: 


¢ Production areas for the propagation of plants 

¢ Warehouse housing industrial potting machinery 
¢ Dispatch/ loading area 

¢ Green waste disposal area 

* Chemical engineering building 

* Office building. 


SCP-3019's effects are not apparent in the day, and as such the 
Nursery is allowed to operate in this time. After sunset, however, 
SCP-3019 enters an active state. 


Approximately 45 minutes after sunset, SCP-3019-A manifests 
somewhere on the property of SCP-3019. SCP-3019-A is a 
humanoid entity standing at 1.96 metres tall with forearms appearing 
to be extended via wooden growth and with a severely scarred face 
capable of peeling back into six petal-shaped flaps via embedded 
vines emerging from the eye sockets, nasal passages and mouth of 
the skull. SCP-3019 does not appear to be impaired by low-light 
conditions, has been seen using tools, and has displayed extensive 
knowledge of horticulture. SCP-3019-A has proven capable of lifting 
weights in excess of 600 kilograms through use of muscles 
reinforced with plant cells more resistant to tearing as well as 
surviving typically fatal injuries via unknown means. 


Upon manifesting, SCP-3019-A will run through a routine composed 
of watering the plants, meticulously searching for any sign of pests 
such as caterpillars or mold, pest extermination, temperature 
regulation, mulching collected cadavers into fertilizer, application of 
fertilizer, followed by watering once more. It has been seen emitting 
a potent hereby unknown pesticide in the form of a gas for the 
purposes of pest control. When any human or certain animals! 
enters the property of SCP-3019, SCP-3019-A will enter a markedly 


hostile state. It will immediately move to the human or animal in 
question by the most direct path possible without disturbing the 
plants. 


How SCP-3019 is capable of locating intruders without sensory 
organs is unknown. Upon locating the intruder, SCP-3019-A will 
attempt to disable them by bludgeoning with agricultural tools. It will 
then relocate the remains to the potting area of the nursery, where it 
will convert the remains into blood and bone fertilizer to be applied 
to the plants within SCP-3019. This is typically done by crushing the 
intruder with constricting vine like growths before feeding them into 
mulching units. Depending on the mass and strength of the intruder, 
this process can take between 1 and 4 hours. 


Incident 3019-F1-A: 

The following events occurred shortly after the Foundation's 
acquisition of 's Nursery on 27/10/2009 following the 
disappearance of 84 employees during work hours and subsequent 
discovery of SCP-3019's anomalous features. Initial containment 
proceaures called for the closure of ‘s Nursery, and were seen to 
be sufficient to contain the anomaly. 


On the 4/2/2010, the following events called for the revision of 
containment procedures. 

Following sundown and the manifestation of SCP-3019-A on 
9/1/2010, Foundation surveillance on the interior of SCP-3019 
observed SCP-3019-A behaving in an uncharacteristically 
distressed nature, seemingly in response to the poor condition of the 
plants within SCP-3019's borders. 


At 09:10PM SCP-3019-A breached the perimeter wall and 
attempted to incapacitate 8 Foundation agents, who were able to 
retreat into the nearby woods, but were cut off from Command in 
doing so. SCP-3019-A's location was lost for 43 minutes. Mobile 
Task Force Theta-4 ("Gardeners") was dispatched to intercept 
SCP-3019-A, and reported sighting it in the woods between the town 
of and SCP-3019. Radio contact was lost at 10:01PM. 


At 10:21PM, SCP-3019-A re-entered SCP-3019 whilst dragging 19 
civilians and Foundation personnel restrained in a mass of vines. 
Agent Matthews was able to break free from SCP-3019-A's hold and 


attempted to escape, but was stabbed in the abdomen by 
SCP-3019-A and injected with an unknown substance. This resulted 
in the same vines used to restrain SCP-3019-A's captives rapidly 
growing from Agent Matthews' wounds and orifices. 


SCP-3019-A was able to successfully transport 6 of the captives 
alive into SCP-3019's office facility. When Theta-4 agents attempted 
to gain access to this building, the doors and windows were unable 
to be opened, forcing the removal of a section of wall on the 
southeast corner of the building. Following SCP-3019-A's tracks, 
they found the layout of the building disorienting and inconsistent. 
Analysis revealed that no psychoactive substances were present in 
the air as previously suspected, at which point the decision was 
made to withdraw the team. 


At 7:45AM on 11/1/2010, Theta-4 agents were able to access the 
office building basement area of SCP-3019, but found nothing. 
SCP-3019-A manifested normally and proceeded without incident to 
continue its daily routine. 


At 9:10PM the same day, 6 humanoid entities exited SCP-3019's 
Chemical engineering building and begun caring for the plants in the 
same manner as SCP-3019-A. These entities resembled human 
beings with their skin replaced by flowering plants and soil. Root 
structures were fully integrated into the bodies, resulting in apparent 
brain death.2 DNA analysis confirmed that these entities were 
composed of the individuals SCP-3019-A had captured. All 
specimens were captured by Foundation personnel the following 
day for study. All specimens rapidly deteriorated upon removal from 
SCP-3019, and were promptly incinerated after perishing. 


As of the 16/1/2010, several previously unknown flowering plants 
have been discovered growing within the limits of SCP-3019 which 
display mammalian and human traits, including skin, rudimentary 
nervous systems, limited mobility and eyes. Analysis has shown that 
these flowers match DNA from individuals captured during Incident 
3019-F1-A. Destruction of these specimens is currently pending. 


Following these events it was determined that ‘s Nursery was to 
remain open and operational, with closures lasting no longer than 
four weeks at a time so as to avoid any possible repeat of this 


incident. 


Addendum 3019-1 On 21/10/2011 an unmanned drone equipped 
with infrared camera imaging was sent to film within SCP-3019 after 
sunset to determine SCP-3019-As response to mechanical 
equipment within SCP-3019. While SCP-3019-A proved 
unresponsive to the presence of the drone, a tattoo of an oak tree 
with elaborate roots turning to flowers upon its left bicep was 
observed by the drone's camera. This closely matches a tattoo on 
the left bicep of Emily Wood, who worked as a nursery hand at Ss 
Nursery until her disappearance on 3/10/2009. Investigation into this 
resulted in the discovery the following letter among the possessions 
of Miss Wood addressed to her on 's Nursery stationery, 
addressed from Mr Erik , The owner of SCP-3019 prior to 
Foundation Acquisition. 


Miss Wood, 

Over the past 30 years, | have striven to make this into 
the most successful business possible. We are a 
hardworking team here, and with that hard work comes 
the benefits of profit and promotion through our ranks, 
and as such we very much value hard workers. 

You are not a hard worker. Every time | visit the Dispatch 
area | see you working slowly, sloppily and spending 
most of your time socializing with your coworkers. 
Despite multiple warnings, you remain a problem for me 
and the team at 's Nursery, and we are sick of it. 

You have had your second, third and final warnings, and 
now it is time to suffer the consequences. Enclosed in 
this envelope is a little something | made to improve your 
work performance. Perhaps this experience will finally 
teach you the meaning of hard work and respect for your 
employers. 

We look forward to working with you for many, many 
years to come. 

- Erik 


Subsequent investigation showed trace elements of soil and 
unknown spores in the letter. Despite ongoing search efforts, the 
current whereabouts of Mr are unknown.

SCP-3020: Depression 


Item #: SCP-3020 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Known individuals affected by 
SCP-3020 are to be quarantined at Areas-39, -42, -94, -102, and 
-129. They are to be kept in standard non-anomalous human 
containment cells, and efforts are to be made to ease any symptoms 
of SCP-3020 infestation, including injections of L-DOPA twice daily 
into the kidneys. 


Samples of SCP-3020 are to be studied only at the aforementioned 
areas under BSL-4. Human interaction with SCP-3020 samples is 
forbidden; instead, all testing is to take place using robotic 
armatures. Armatures that have been in contact with SCP-3020 are 
to be heated to 400 degrees centigrade to ensure the extermination 
of all SCP-3020 cells and eggs. 


Description: SCP-3020 is a microscopic organism of unknown 
genera and species, measuring less than a micron in length. 
SCP-3020 was believed to be most closely related to the Rabies 
lyssavirus virus, but observation has led the Foundation to believe 
that SCP-3020 is actually a parasitic organism resembling a viral 
body. 


SCP-3020 is small enough to pass the blood-brain barrier, and 
manifests solely in human beings, who are also the sole vector of 
transmission of SCP-3020. Humans infested by SCP-3020 begin to 
show symptoms similar to individuals affected by major depressive 
disorder. SCP-3020 is incurable, but treatable through L-DOPA 
injections at early stages. 


SCP-3020 operates by feeding on the chemical L-DOPA, a 
precursor chemical to dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. 
This causes a severe dopamine deficiency in the body, causing 


symptoms resembling Parkinson's disease in addition to depressive 
symptoms. Due to the fact that L-DOPA is responsible for the 
synthesis of epinephrine, infestation by SCP-3020 destroys the fight- 
or-flight response. 


SCP-3020 spreads through spawn in the sweat and tears of infested 
subjects; physical contact will cause a mild alleviation of symptoms 
related to SCP-3020 infestation, but also pose a severe risk for 
infection if individuals are not properly protected. 


SCP-3020 spawn are capable of surviving in very harsh conditions 
outside of the human body, and has been found capable of surviving 
temperatures of down to -30 degrees Centigrade. Like most viral or 
parasitic organisms, high concentrations of heat will kill SCP-3020. 
SCP-3020 appears to be capable of surviving outside of the human 
body indefinitely. 


SCP-3020 cannot be treated through use of traditional 
antidepressant or anti-psychotic medication that works on the 
principles of dopamine regulation, due to the lack of dopamine in the 
body. 


The symptoms of SCP-3020 infestation can be classified into five 
stages: 


Stage 1: Paranoia. Subjects begin having strong bouts of paranoid 
delusions, particularly the delusion that they are universally hated by 
all individuals they perceive as being associated with them. Subjects 
infested with SCP-3020 will begin to cease contact with individuals 
they associate with; this also serves to limit the spread of SCP-3020 
in its initial stages of infection, allowing it to flourish, until such a time 
where the subject has enough colonies of SCP-3020 within them to 
effectively spread it. 


Stage 2: Fear. Paranoia in subjects becomes severe, and subjects 
are afraid that everyone is judging them, and believe that all 
individuals associating with them want them to die. Like their lives 
would be better off if you got out of them. So, you do. You bury 
yourself under work. Subjects often cut off contact with everyone 
who knew them. And you cry. 


host's body is essential. Post-event, both the host and any affected 
personnel are to be screened for (continued) infestation and treated 
accordingly. If no such infestation is detected and the host survived, 
class-A amnestics may be administered and the host need no longer 
be detained. No special social reintegration procedures apply. 


As locations where SCP-366 ova are deposited shift if sealed off 
permanently, containment of these areas focuses on detection, 
quarantine of hosts and containment of specimens. If celestial 
events known to trigger the appearance of SCP-366 ova can be 
foreseen, sites are to be closed down temporarily. If need be, ova 
may be harvested for research. In all other situations, ova are to be 
allowed to expire before sites are declared open again.
