Andrews: Looks like we have two deceased. This one 
[kneels down next to the closest body] seems to be 
missing some bones. Specifically... three ribs... parts of 
her spine... and some sections of her skull. 


Andrews walks to the sink and sees SCP-3388 in a 
saucepan. The pan contains a mixture of soil and bone. 
A clay flower pot sits next to it with a piece of duct tape 
stuck to it. The name "Sewara" is written on the tape. 


Andrews: And I've also found a... cactus ina 
saucepan? 


As the saucepan begins to fill with water, the camera 
feed suddenly rotates ninety degrees clockwise. After a 
few seconds, Andrews collapses. The camera records 
the ground until it is retrieved. The only noise that can be 
heard is Andrews' phone's notification tone, which stops 
after ten minutes. 


<END LOG> 


Closing statement: The desiccated cadaver of Agent 
Andrews was later found beside SCP-3388. Cause of 
expiry determined to be rapid cell death. SCP-3388 was 
safely retrieved and repotted. 


Addendum 3388-01: During an immediate follow-up investigation, 


present. The duration of the OBE is out of the subject’s control, and 
the straitjacket must be removed for the patient to resume normal 
function. Leaving the jacket on for prolonged periods results in a 
reluctance or inability of the subject to return to his or her body. If 
the consciousness does not return, the subject will experience brain 
death. The duration at which 50% of subjects do not return to their 
bodies is roughly 81 minutes. It is unknown, and conveniently 
untestable, whether or not the consciousness persists after this 
point. 


SCP-438 has obvious applications in the field of espionage and 
scientific exploration, but carries considerable risk, both to the 
subject and to sensitive data on the part of the agency employing 
the item. It is fortunate that the subject must trust his or her 
comrades in order to use the item safely; if there is reason to 
suspect the subject's loyalty, the item may simply be left on until the 
subject has expired. 


ADDENDUM [05 - HIGH PRIORITY]: 

An item of identical form and function has been discovered in [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. Classified SCP-438b, this provides irrefutable proof 
that SCP-438 is not a unique item. Considering the potential security 
risk involved, acquisition of any and all others should be pursued as 
a top priority. Orders from O5-2.

SCP-3389: The Lake That Burns You 


Item #: SCP-3389 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All buildings, private, and public 
land in a 10 km radius around SCP-3389 have been purchased by 
the Foundation and designated Provisional Site-93. All roads and 
pedestrian pathways leading to SCP-3389 are to be cordoned off 
and maintain a patrol of armed guards. An electrified chain-link 
fence topped with barbed wire has been erected in the immediate 
vicinity surrounding SCP-3389. Eight guard towers, each occupied 
by no less than two armed Foundation personnel and equipped with 
security cameras, have been erected to watch over SCP-3389 at all 
times. 


If any instances of SCP-3389-1 collapse, personnel stationed in the 
surrounding guard towers are to terminate any emerging 
SCP-3389-2 instances. No entities emerging from the lake are to 
reach beyond the chain-link fence. 


If any personnel are apprehended by an instance of SCP-3389-2, 
every attempt is to be made to terminate them before they can be 
pulled into the water. 


Description: SCP-3389 is a man-made lake located in the 
northeastern United States, near the town of , Pennsylvania. 
Any human being entering SCP-3389 will, after a variable amount of 
time not exceeding ten minutes, be pulled beneath the surface of the 
water regardless of the depth at which they were standing. A few 
minutes after being submerged, a statue (hereafter referred to as 
SCP-3389-1) of the subject's exact likeness will rise from the water 
in their place. These statues are unremarkable beyond their 
anomalous origin, consisting of a synthetic resin and concrete 
mixture, and given color by standard household latex paint. 


Upon discovery by the Foundation, there were forty-seven 
SCP-3389-1 instances scattered around the lake, all in various 
states of decay. Thirteen remain, including that of Doctor (SEE 
TEST-LOG 3389-D-4). It is currently unknown how many instances 
were present prior to containment. 


Subjects pulled beneath SCP-3389’s surface re-emerge as 
instances of SCP-3389-2. Instances of SCP-3389-2 surface from the 
water through an instance of SCP-3389-1, which will collapse 
moments prior. Their bodies are disfigured in a manner consistent 
with that of burn victims to variable degrees. Instances of 
SCP-3389-2 bear a physical resemblance to the instance of 
SCP-3389-1 through which they surfaced, as well as the subject 
whose appearance is replicated by said SCP-3389-1 instance. 


Once they have surfaced, the entities will begin moving towards the 
shoreline. SCP-3389-2 entities will then attempt to retrieve subjects 
and bring them back into SCP-3389, in order to facilitate the creation 
of more instances of SCP-3389-2. 


Addendum 3389-A1: Due to the unpredictable nature of 
SCP-3389-2 instances (SEE INTERVIEW LOG 3389-S1 and TEST 
LOG 3389-D4), they are to be seen as hostile and treated as such. 


Addendum 3389-D4: Due to initial failure in testing, further 
experiments on SCP-3389 have been barred by order of O5 
Command. (SEE TEST LOG 3389-D-4).

S1 [REQUIRES LEVEL 3 CLEARANCE] 
Interview Log 3389-S1 
Date: / /2017 
Interviewer: Doctor Corrina Albright 
Subject: SCP-3389-2-1 


Note: SCP-3389-2-1 is the first SCP-3389-2 entity 
to have emerged from SCP-3389. Its body is 


disfigured beyond recognition, to the point that 
vocalization of any kind should not be possible. 
Despite this, SCP-3389-2-1 was perfectly capable 
of speech. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


SCP-3389-2-1 emerged from the lake near the 
shoreline. Personnel were alerted, and met the 
entity near the fence. Initially, SCP-3389-2-1 was 
unresponsive, speaking incoherently and 
attempting to get past the gate, injuring itself in the 
process. When personnel! attempted to 
communicate with SCP-3389-2-1, It is severely 
burned, including damage to the throat and vocal 
cords. However, it is still able to vocalize. 


Dr. Albright: SCP-3389-2-1, do you know where 
you are? 


SCP-3389-2-1: It's been so long.. | can't see, can 
only feel.. 


Dr. Albright: Only feel? What is it you feel? 


SCP-3389-2-1: The water! It makes demands.. 
burns me until | give it what it wants, but | refused! 


Dr. Albright: What it wants? What do you mean? 
Is there something in the water that- 


SCP-3389-2-1 falls to the floor onto its knees 
seemingly struggling to stand. It attempts to speak 
further, but only produces soft wheezing noises. 


Dr. Albright: SCP-3389-2-1, are you alright? 
What's happening? 


SCP-3389-2-1: This is its.. punishment.. for 
disobedience.. but it is a release.. 


SCP-3389-2-1 looks up to Doctor Albright briefly 
before collapsing fully onto the floor, turning to ash 
moments later. 


Dr. Albright: Make a note of that, and keep an eye 
out for any more.

D-4 [REQUIRES LEVEL 3 CLEARANCE] 


Test Log 3389-D-4 
Test Lead: Doctor Corrina Albright 
Subject: D-81732 


Testing Procedure: D-81732 was instructed to 
enter SCP-3389. Approximately four minutes and 
eleven seconds after entering the water, consistent 
with averages from prior tests, subject was pulled 
beneath the surface. SCP-3389-1 instance rose 
from the water a brief moment later. Research 
Team ordered to monitor SCP-3389-1 instance tied 
to D-81732 in case it collapsed. 

Approximately three months later, the SCP-3389-1 
instance representative of D-81732 collapsed, and 
a new SCP-3389-2 instance (SCP-3389-2-7) 
emerged near the shoreline. Log begins after initial 
contact, once Doctor Albright and her research 
team have passed through the chain-link fence 
accompanied by armed personnel. 


Note: SCP-3389-2-7 is the seventh SCP-3389-2 
instance to have emerged from SCP-3389 since 
containment began. SCP-3389-2-2 through 6 all 
collapsed in a similar manner to SCP-3389-2-1 
before any new or noteworthy information could be 


extracted. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


Dr. Albright: D-81732? Do you know where you 
are? 


SCP-3389-2-7: Doctor? I-is that you? 


Dr. Albright: Yes, yes it's me! D-81732, this is 
Doctor Albright. Can you tell me what happened to 
you? 


SCP-3389-2-7 begins to act erratically. It faces 
Doctor Albright and begins to approach her. 


Dr. Albright: D-81732, can you hear me? | need 
you to tell me what happened! 


SCP-3389-2-7 continues to move towards Doctor 
Albright, ignoring her questions and gradually 
picking up speed. Research Team begins to back 
away as security personnel ready their weapons. 


SCP-3389-2-7: A flame needs fuel and the water 
calls for you! A flame needs fuel and the water 
calls for you! 


SCP-3389-2-7 repeats this phrase without pause, 
backing the research team up to the fence. Doctor 
Albright orders security personnel! not to fire until 
the last possible moment. 


Dr. Albright: D-81732, | need you to speak more 
clearly. | need you to tell me what that means. 


SCP-3389-2-7 ceases its repetition, but continues 
to approach Doctor Albright. As the entity reaches 
a meter from the nearest personnel, it dives 
forward and grapples onto Doctor Albright. Security 
personnel ready their weapons once more, but 


hold their fire at Doctor Albright's command. 
SCP-3389-2-7 begins to pull her back towards 
SCP-3389. 


SCP-3389-2-7: The red sea is only red because of 
the fires burning beneath the waves! 


Doctor Albright struggles, pleading with 
SCP-3389-2-7 to release her. The entity ignores 
her, continuing to repeat the same phrase as it 
pulls Doctor Albright up to the shoreline. 


Dr. Albright: What are you doing? What is this? 


SCP-3389-2-7: The beginning of my redemption! | 
have chosen my path, and it will be my salvation! 


SCP-3389-2-7 throws Doctor Albright into the 
water. Entity is immediately fired upon by security 
personnel, and is terminated. Doctor Albright 
begins to stand and make her way out of the water, 
but is pulled beneath the surface. 


NOTE: The amount of time it took for Doctor 
Albright to be pulled beneath SCP-3389's surface 
was significantly shorter than has been recorded in 
prior tests. The reason for this, as well as its 
significance, is currently unknown.

SCP-3390: A French Tank 


Item #: SCP-3390 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3390 is temporarily 
contained on basement floor 19 of Site-21. Until SCP-3390 can be 
removed from floor B-19 and secured within a more permanent 
containment unit the following procedures have been enacted for the 
safety and security of personnel either visiting or working at Site-21. 
Floor B-19 is to remain within lock-down and off-limits to all 
personnel with any and all blast doors connecting floor B-19 with the 
rest of the facility to remain closed and the systems controlling them 
isolated. 

Any persons attempting to enter floor B-19 are to be detained and 
questioned. 


Under no circumstances is power to be returned to the freight 
elevator which connects floor B-19 with the rest of the facility. 

No personnel with Germanic heritage, within two generations, are to 
enter floor B-18 nor are any personnel to make disparaging remarks 
about the performance of the French Army. 


If future containment of SCP-3390 is deemed impossible, all 
entrances to floor B-19 are to be demolished and sealed behind re- 
enforced concrete. 


In the event that the service elevator on floor B-19 becomes active, 
Site-21 is to be evacuated in it's entirety. 

The three members of foundation personnel assigned to the 
monitoring of SCP-3390 are to remain behind until the containment 
status of SCP-3390 can be confirmed. 

In the event that SCP-3390 breaches the ground floor and attempts 
to leave Site-21 procedure 121-Navis Terra is to be enacted 
immediately. 


Description: Due to the nature in which it is contained SCP-3390 
has been able to evade all attempts at a full examination. As a result 
all information pertaining to the description of SCP-3390, both 
physically and in reference to it's anomalous effects, are entirely 
through physical observation via eyewitness reports and security 
camera footage. 


SCP-3390 is a large mechanical construct that is superficially 
identical to a Char2C Armoured Fighting vehicle, or tank, 
manufactured 1919 and developed by the French Army during the 
First World War.
