was injured during the Battle of the Somme and shipped to a 
London hospital shortly before the war's end. His experiences 
appear to have had a profound psychological effect, giving him a 
nihilistic view of society. He constructed SCP-1461 with the intent of 
somehow ending or escaping the world. More information can be 
extrapolated from his journals, recovered from within SCP-1461 (see 
Evidence Summary V2008-5). It is believed that Mr. had 
anywhere from fifty to a hundred employees helping him in this task, 
the majority of whom eventually re-organized into a cult devoted to 
SCP-1461. An unknown number of these followers were present in 
SCP-1461 when it vanished, along with Mr. , his wife, and two 
children. To date, only six of these individuals have been accounted 
for. 


Shortly after SCP-1461 rematerialized, unknown individuals entered 
SCP-1461 before Foundation agents could contain the site. These 
individuals are believed to have been members of Mr. 's 
fellowship, who had not been present in SCP-1461 when it 
vanished. They successfully extracted a number of potentially 
anomalous artifacts that have yet to be cataloged or recovered. 


Partial List of Cataloged Anomalous Rooms 

Of the twelve sub-levels discovered by Foundation personnel, only 
75% of its layout has been properly mapped, and an unknown 
number of levels are believed to exist further below. Each sub-level 
contains excavation, construction and storage rooms, as well as 
rooms exhibiting Safe or Euclid-level anomalous qualities and/or 
artifacts. For a full list of anomalous SCP-1461 rooms, refer to 
Document I-1461-Current. 

Gel Production (Sub-level Three): An automated factory that melts 
down the unidentified grey sandstone into glass, forms them into 
canisters, and fills them with a green viscous gel made up of a 
variety of exotic chemicals. Some of these jars contain fully-formed 
teeth and organs whose DNA patterns match nothing found on 
earth. Most of the jars have become inert, and their contents have 
decomposed. The gel-production machine itself has been crushed 
by a Cave-in. 

Pipe Hall (Sub-Level Four): A hallway lined with approximately 
2,450 pipes, constructed from brass, iron, copper, gold, bamboo, 
carved jade and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Some kind of substance can 
be clearly heard being pumped through the pipes, but their origin 
and destination are unknown. 

"Factory Deliveries" (Sub-Level Seven): A large, unlit warehouse 
filled with wooden crates of various sizes. Unlike other storage 
rooms, which contain mundane materials from non-anomalous 
sources, the crates in this section are blank or branded simply with 
"Factory Deliveries." Irregular patrols of the warehouse have 
revealed that the number and arrangement of crates changes, but 
as with the Pipe Hall, their origin and destination are unknown. On at 
least one occasion, muffled vocalizations could be heard coming 
from somewhere within the warehouse, but their source was never 
discovered. 

Orb Room (Sub-Level Ten): [DATA EXPUNGED] 

Speaking Tube Room (Sub-Level Eleven): The multitude of brass 
speaking tubes connecting SCP-1461 appear to converge in this 
room on a large central pulpit. The partial remains of a human 
female have been recovered here, with evidence to suggest the 
body (specifically skin and intestinal organs) was used to perform 
crude repairs to some of the damaged tubes. 

Catalyst Room (Sub-Level Twelve): A large chamber filled a 
random assembly of gears, cables, pulleys, screws, and belts, all 


made of an amalgam of iron, tin, gold, and other metals, some as of 
yet unidentified. The assembly has suffered extensive damage, with 
evidence that a large section (approximately 12 cubic meters) has 
been violently removed. The location of this section is unknown. An 
elevated platform is suspended directly over the assembly. The 
platform features a metallic bed with the desiccated remains of a 
human male. The corpse's chest has been pierced by large syringes 
connected to a pumping machine, its design suggesting that it 
pumped fluid extracted from the syringes into the missing portion of 
the machinery below. At regular forty-five minute intervals, the 
assembly attempts to self-start, but its existing damage prevents 
initialization. Friction heat-buildup eventually results in an 
emergency shut-down that lasts until the machinery has cooled 
enough to make another attempt. Item V2008-5 was recovered from 
the hospital bed.

SCP-1462: Renewable Energy Source 


Item #: SCP-1462 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Level A hazmat gear is 
mandatory for interaction with SCP-1462. The Foundation's role in 
containment is largely preventative- in the case of containment 
failure, implanted agents are to convince civilian leadership of the 
importance of maintaining respiratory protection. Civilians seen 
unprotected are to be taken into custody and processed for signs of 
infection. Cover stories for individuals "lost in the blaze" are in place 
with all major media outlets. 


Regular sweeps for signs of SCP-1462 infection are to be performed 
near known SCP-1462 active sites. Trees infected with the fungal 
vector for SCP-1462 are to be removed and mulched. Other infected 
specimens are to be removed and destroyed. All remains of infected 
specimens are to be disposed of via biohazard incinerator and 
bleached before disposal. While spores of the fungal vector have 
proven flame-resistant and are capable of surviving incineration, 
bleached ashes require no special handling. 


Description: SCP-1462 is a strain of airborne virus transmitted via 
fungal spores. The fungus is dangerous only to trees, but spores 
can infect both plants and animals with the virus. This virus causes 
the host organism's natural fluids to be replaced with petroleum 
analogues. ! 


In animals, this conversion results in widespread chronic cutaneous 
and hepatic porphyria symptoms concluding with massive organ 
failure and death. Afterwards, all non-skeletal body mass converts 
into petroleum during decomposition. Despite a 100% fatality rate, 
standard antiviral precautions are successful in preventing infection 
from one individual to another. 


In plants, infection increases photosynthetic efficiency, as the black 
pigment shift allows for more complete light absorption, and 
alteration of the stomata, resulting initially in improved heat release 
and increased intake of CO2. However, each infected plant also 
releases trace amounts of a pheromone during CO2 intake. 
Sufficient saturation’ causes the immediate closure of stomata and 
subsequent inability to release heat in all infected trees. This 
reaction is unique to trees and is notably absent in any other 
instance of infection. Standing theory suggests that the virus was 
engineered for use on non-tree plants, and its deleterious effect on 
animals and trees are side effects?. 


Infected trees inevitably ignite and set fire to surrounding infected 
flora. Liquefied remains of fauna ensure high quantities of flammable 
gas and surface accelerant, leading to rapid expansion of the burn 
area through infected territory. The final stage of the burn cycle is a 
firestorm, resulting in aerial dispersal of particulate and fungal 
spores over twice the original area, as the air currents caused by the 
conflagration spread the spores across progressively larger 
expanses of woodland. 


It should be noted that the rate of expansion per burn cycle would 
completely consume the largest forests on Earth within one year 
while sending enough particulate and spore matter into the 
stratosphere and troposphere to simultaneously threaten the planet 
with both global exposure to SCP-1462, and nuclear winterS.

Foundation Analysis- Logs cease after 04/21/2013. 
Evidence suggests massive personnel losses on 
04/24/2013. Current theory stands that trees surrounding 
complex underwent a burn cycle on 04/26/2013 after 


accidental exposure to fungal spores following clean-up 
of peach tree burn cycle. Unlikelihood of a full hectare of 
peach trees used for testing suggests that SCP- 1462 is 
extremely adaptable, and since initial events has allowed 
for greater expansion prior to burn periods. Further 
investigation of the Grow-Your-Own Corporation facility 
responsible for SCP-1462 hindered by severe damage to 
original site. 


Footnotes 

1. This is achieved by altering porphyrins, such as heme in blood 
cells and chlorophyll in plants, to replace their contained ion with a 
vanadium ion through a process yet to be completely understood. 
The end result is a specialized aromatic hydrocarbon that mimics 
the function of the original fluid to some degree (see below for post- 
conversion effects). 

2. Symptoms include photosensitivity (ohotodermatitis), blisters, 
necrosis of the skin and gums, itching and swelling, increased hair 
growth on areas such as the forehead, abdominal pain, vomiting, 
acute neuropathy, muscle weakness, seizures and mental 
disturbances, including hallucinations, depression, anxiety, and 
paranoia. 

3. This has been determined to be reached at roughly one hectare 
(2.47 acres) of infected woodland. 

4. Confirmed- see recovered documentation below. 

5. While a misnomer, nuclear winter is caused by particulate matter 
sent airborne by firestorms. The end result here is identical.

NOOR WD — 


1 


Description: SCP-1463-A is a component 
of SCP-1463 that exhibits a weak 
antimemetic effect. Its method of hunting is 
by allowing itself to be perceived by a 
subject, which enables it to begin 
integrating with the subject's consciousness 
until the consciousness is entirely 
consumed. As SCP-1463-A and the subject 
are connected during the process, events 
perceived by the subject as potentially 
harmful or lethal will be perceived as such 
by SCP-1463-A, which can force it to stop 


the integration process. 


The entity is presently neutralized, though 
its presence is a sign of SCP-1463 
manifestation.
