These occurrences of SCP-2407 should be observed and monitored 
carefully for no fewer than two weeks before formal containment to 
verify level of infection, determine the remaining capacities of the 
victim, and assess—if possible—the precise method by which 
SCP-2407 is communicated to its victims. Local broadcast stations 
should be monitored for possible secondary affection of technicians, 
and to track possible sources of the SCP-2407 effect. 


Infected subjects of SCP-2407 should be approached by agents 
posing as home inspectors, cable repairmen, delivery men, or 
another unspecified service to initiate assessment of the full scope 
of infection. Following initial assessment, the subject should be 
removed from the premises, which must then be monitored via 
Class-D personnel. In the event that inserted Class-D subjects 
become infected, they are to be given Class-A amnestics and 
reassigned. Premises must be leveled and reallocated following 
subsequent study. 


Infected subjects should be administered Class-A amnestics and 
routine retraining, then relocated to a pre-approved site. Monitoring 
should continue until it is verified that SCP-2407 no longer poses a 
threat to that subject. 


All data regarding SCP-2407 is to be studied by Research Task 


Force Psi-7 in order to determine the origin of the anomaly. 


Description: SCP-2407 is a cognitohazardous effect of unknown 
origin which causes humans to become helpless. The vector of 
infection for SCP-2407 is unknown, as is the amount of time 
SCP-2407 has existed and how many subjects it has affected. 
SCP-2407 is known to occur in all areas with regular television 
broadcasts. 


Subjects affected by SCP-2407 slowly lose any ability to perform 
basic tasks. Initially, subjects will display "clumsiness". Over time, 
subjects will be rendered unable to do things such as prepare food, 
operate machinery, or clean themselves. Testing has shown that 
there is nothing physical preventing them from performing these 
tasks, and brain activity appears normal. The subjects appear to 
choose not to do them correctly. 


The purchase and usage of products advertised in infomercial and 
"seen-on-TV" style adverts appear to alleviate SCP-2407's effect 
temporarily. In addition, speech therapy can allow the subjects to 
continue communicating after they are otherwise unable to move or 
act under their own power. Eventually, all subjects will be rendered 
effectively vegetative. Application of Class-A amnestics has been 
shown to have some success for reversing SCP-2407's effect. 


SCP-2407 was initially discovered after keywords in reports of a 
‘hoarding’ case caused the Foundation to investigate. During initial 
recovery, Agent Albert Montoya entered the premises to assess 
damage under the guise of an "Organization Counselor." Agent 
Montoya helped the subject for two hours, at which point, when 
preparing to leave, they note that the subject's "Instant Potato 
Peeler" seems to be highly useful and functional. This was noted, 
and Agent Montoya was later observed to purchase one upon his 
return to Site-—77. Agent Montoya was later confirmed for infection 
after being unable to demonstrate how to peel a potato without the 
use of the 'seen-on-tv' peeler.

Addendum: Interview 2407-DDF 


Interviewed: Subject 45-S, affected by SCP-2407 for an 
estimated 2 months. 


Interviewer: Dr. Boyd 


Foreword: Subject was unable to dress themselves, 
operate machinery, and struggled with basic movement 
skills. 


<Begin Log> 

Dr. Boyd: How are you feeling? Comfortable? 
Subject 45-S: I'm okay... 

Dr. Boyd: Then we can begin the interview. 
Subject 45-S: Actually, can you do one thing? 
Dr. Boyd: Certainly. 


Subject 45-S: Can you fix my shirt? It's, uh, 
uncomfortable? 


Level 1 personnel enter the containment chamber and 


adjust the subject's shirt. 
Dr. Boyd: Is that better? 
Subject 45-S: Yeah. Thanks. 


Dr. Boyd: So, when did you notice changes in your 
behavior? 


Subject 45-S: It was... about five months ago. | was 
making myself a cheese steak. I'd gotten it made, and 
then | dropped it. So, | clean up. | make another one. | 
drop that one too. After that, things got real bad. 


Dr. Boyd: What happened next? 


Subject 45-S: | went to this doctor, and he said | was 

fine. | went to other doctors, and they said | was fine. | 
made a schedule to see a shrink, and that was the day 
that I... um... | went outside, and | couldn't get into my 
car. | couldn't figure out how. 


Dr. Boyd: You didn't tell anyone what was going on? 


Subject 45-S: No. | just went inside, tried to settle down. 
| watched a lot of TV. Grandma left me the house, and | 
had some money put back, so | knew I'd be fine for a 
while. | guess | just felt like, uh until | could... | felt like | 
needed to sort myself out. 


Dr. Boyd: That was when you started using the 
infomercial products? 


Subject 45-S: Yeah. They actually helped, for a bit. | 
had stuff like... | had a shamwow, instead of paper 
towels. | didn't 'get' paper towels anymore. They were 
confusing. The shammy rag, | could get it. 


Dr. Boyd: How long did it work? 


Subject 45-S: It worked really well. For about a week. | 
stopped watching TV, | was doing better, but then | 


forgot how to use the shammy. | saw the ad again, then | 
remembered, thank god. So | just kept watching. | left the 
TV on all the time, and | waited. For anything that would 
help. | just need something better. 


Dr. Boyd: Did you find anything? 
Subject 45-S: Well, there was one thing.

Closing Note: Dr. Boyd monitored for [REDACTED] 
Usage for Three Weeks. 


Level 3 Clearance Required 


Incident 2407-SS: On 09/18/2011, Foundation agents 
located a warehouse apparently used for shipping 
SCP-2407-affected products and producing SCP-2407 
related advertisements. Inside this building, there were 
approximately 10,000 different 'seen-on-tv' devices, as 
well as a sound stage and facilities capable of supporting 
up to 200 individuals living full-time on the site. 


Several Class-A and Class-C amnestic devices were 
also recovered, along with extensive documentation as 
to how to manufacture, utilize, and engineer them. As 
this represented an alarming security breach, all records 
on the site were seized and the recovered amnestics 
destroyed. 


Recovered documentation from the site indicated that 
the SCP Foundation had authorized the funding, 
creation, and development of the facility as part of 
SCP-2407's containment. Initially, it was believed that 
this represented an intelligence leak. However, no 
evidence suggested that any group other than the 
Foundation itself had been involved. Other than the 
records at the scene, no internal Foundation documents 
correspond to the discovered site. 


Two weeks after the finalization of Incident 2407-SS, an 
outbreak of SCP-2407 affliction occurred in Dallas, TX. 
Agents were able to trace the outbreaks source to a 
functionally identical warehouse, containing sixty-six 
amnestic devices and documentation indicating it had 
been set up at approximately the same time as the 
building discovered during the initial incident. Due to the 
duplicate records it is unclear which was constructed 
first. 


Reclassification of SCP-2407 to Keter is under 
consideration. 


« SCP-2406 | SCP-2407 | SCP-2408 » 


SCP-2408: Orok's Fall 


Item #: SCP-2408 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation is to infiltrate 
and control law enforcement agencies in areas where Gol-0432 
activity is suspected. Information regarding the anomalous activities 
of Gol-0432 is to be suppressed. MTF Psi-13 ("Witch Hunters") has 
been tasked with the search for and elimination of Gol-0432 
members (SCP-2408-1). In the event that a member is captured 
alive, they are to be thoroughly interrogated (using any means 
deemed necessary) prior to termination; the bodies autopsied and 
disposed of per hazardous waste protocols. 


Mobile Task Force Psi-9 ("Abyss Gazers") is to provide security to 
researchers at SCP-2408-3. Individuals attempting to gain access to 
SCP-2408-3 are to be terminated on sight. Patrols are to search for 
potential access points, which must be securely sealed when 
discovered. 


Armed Reliquary and Biological Containment Area-06 has been 
constructed beneath Moscow in order to contain and study 
SCP-2408-3. 


Description: SCP-2408 designates several anomalies associated 
with Gol-0482 ("The Hunter's Black Lodge"), an anomalous criminal 
organization and Sarkic cult primarily active in the post-Soviet 
states. SCP-2408-1 are genetically normal humans capable of 
undergoing gross physical transfiguration. Known changes include: 


¢ Mass increase by multiples of 2, sometimes 3 (primarily 
muscle). 

¢ Increased bone density. 

« An increase of testosterone production (with levels 
approximately 6 times as great as in baseline adult males). 


SCP-262: A Coat of Many Arms 


Item #: SCP-262 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Currently, SCP-262 is 
undergoing review and research to see if it is capable of being used 
by field agents in the acquisition of other SCPs. Monitored use by 
commander level authority is preferable. It is inadvisable to allow 
agents unsupervised usage of SCP-262 at this time. When not in 
use, SCP-262 is kept in a climate-controlled room at Site , guarded 
by at least two Level-2 Security personnel. 


Description: SCP-262 is a light brown, European military-style 
greatcoat from a period between the late 1500s to the early 1900s. It 
is without any specific designations or markings, leading 
researchers to believe it was an original archetype sample, intended 
to be submitted to military officials for approval as part of a new 
uniform design. The pattern was either rejected or lost because it 
was never implemented. It is made of wool and extends below the 
knee on most individuals. Carbon dating of the coat fibers has been 
inconclusive, placing the age of SCP-262 in the range of 6,200 to 
6,400 years old. One explanation is that the wool used to create 
SCP-262 is perhaps thousands of years old, but the coat itself was 
cut, sewn, and assembled recently. 


SCP-262 is capable of manifesting numerous arms from within the 
dark inner lining. When worn, any subject wearing SCP-262 needs 
only to open the coat to materialize hands and arms which are 
somewhat under the subject's control. Most limbs are human in 
nature and vary in skin tones, length, and strength. A noted few 
include: 


¢ A reptilian-like scaled tentacle some 4 m (13 ft) long 
¢ 4 semi-transparent arm-like appendages made of cellulose, 
over 10 m (83 ft) long, with 4 fingers, 2 elbow-like joints, and 


¢ An increase of adrenaline production (with levels 
approximately 4 times as great as in baseline adult males). 

¢ Enlargement of organs in proportion to increased mass with 
the exception of the testes and adrenal glands, which increase 
in size well beyond what would be proportional, and the brain, 
which does not appear to change in size. 

¢ The manifestation of various non-human physicalities (e.g. 

lupine, hircine, porcine, ursine, cervine, and octopine features 

have all been recorded). 

An ability to shift between bipedal and quadrupedal 

movement. 

Amplified senses (seeing, hearing, tasting/smelling things 

outside of human sensory limitations). 

¢ Amplified strength, speed, and regenerative ability. 


Unlike Proteus-Cronenberg syndrome, SCP-2408-1 instances are 
able to reverse these changes while maintaining cellular stability. It 
remains unknown whether or not these transformations can be 
maintained indefinitely. Complete transmogrification can be 
achieved within 10-30 seconds. 


SCP-2408 was discovered during OPERATION FALKENRATH. 


OPERATION FALKENRATH involved the infiltration of Gol-0432. 
Known as "The Hunter's Black Lodge" (or simply the "Black Lodge"), 
Gol-0432 has been linked to extortion, murder, robbery, gambling, 
prostitution, human trafficking, drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, 
and underground fighting rings. While these activities are not 
inherently anomalous, the anomalous capabilities of Gol-0432 has 
had an aberrant effect on their practice. These anomalies include: 


¢ The trafficking and distribution of anomalous pharmaceutical 
agents, primarily in the form of the anabolic-androgenic 
steroid "[Hes"!. The intravenous injection of [Hes triggers 
anomalous levels of muscle and bone growth. Continued and/ 
or excessive use will result in Proteus-Cronenberg syndrome 
and/or death. Analysis suggests that this substance is 
harvested from the adrenal gland of an unidentified species of 
animal and has thus been classified as SCP-2408-2A. 

* The trafficking and distribution of "[loxo Tb", a potent narcotic 
and increasingly prevalents "club drug". Normally sold in 


small, glass vials, it is administered to the body through 
insufflation into the sinus cavities (injection has been found to 
be universally fatal). Substance triggers various sensory 
hallucinations, increased heart palpitations, increased sexual 
arousal, and feelings of euphoria; studies have shown the 
substance to be more addictive than heroin. These effects are 
non-anomalous (the substance likely created with profit in 
mind) but the substance itself appears to be derived from the 
spinal fluid of an unidentified species and has thus been 
classified as SCP-2408-2B.
