Details of SCP-3553-B event: Jane Farmer 
and her immediate family were taken into 
Foundation custody shortly after her birth. On 
21/08/2012, Miss Farmer was taken to 
Outdoor Testing Facility 9 at Site 44, with 10 
agents and a camera feed observing her. At 
15:04, the camera feed went dead, and all of 
the agents present were momentarily blinded 
from a sudden flash of intense light in the 
nearby window of Testing Facility D. This had 
been caused by experimentation on SCP- 
During this momentary absence of 
observation, the SCP-3553-B event took 
place. 


A large number of recording and tracking 
devices had been surgically implanted into 
Miss. Farmer. These failed to disappear with 
Miss. Farmer.

SON? Robert Fenchurch was last seen at 
02:04 at Site 1010 on 08/07/2017. He has 
brown eyes. His mother, Dr. Fenchurch of Site 
1010, sorely misses him. Robert is a sweet 
child who just wants to let his mother know 
he's alright, he's alive, he's scared but he's 
fine. PLEASE DRAG HIM BACK. 


Details of SCP-3553-B event: Not yet 
occured; date is in future. Mr. Fenchurch has 
been taken into Foundation custody. Please 
see Addendum 1 below for more details. 


SCP-3553-A instance: Anna Singer. DOB: 
01/09/2003. 


Date of SCP-3553 appearance: Circa 
05/06/2013 


SCP-3553 text: BRING HER BACK FROM 
THE DARK. Anna Singer is 5'3 with brown 
eyes and blue hair. She loves to ride horses 
and is so cold in the dark. She wants her 
parents back. Why does she not have her 
parents back. She disappeared during the 
great containment breach on 08/09/2018. And 
now she dreams in the dark. If you have any 
information as to her whereabouts, PLEASE 
HELP BRING ME BACK FOR GOD'S SAKE. 


Details of SCP-3553-B event: Not yet 
occured; date is in future. Miss Singer has 
been taken into Foundation custody. There are 
no longer any containment procedures in place 
to prevent the impending SCP-3553-B event; 
research is ongoing. 


+Addendum 1: Experiment-3553-3 


Subject: SCP-3553-A-8. 


Time & Date: 02:03 on 08/07/2017, the time of 
SCP-3553-A-8’s scheduled disappearance 
according to the corresponding SCP-3553 
instance. 


Setup: SCP-3553-A-8 was placed in the 
Secure Testing Facility of Site 1010. 12 
floodlights were aimed directly at SCP-3553- 
A-8, each connected to a separate power 
source. 15 Foundation personnel were 
observing SCP-3553-A-8. Dr. Fenchurch and 
Dr. Jones were holding SCP-3553-A-8’s arms 
and hands. Several candles and mirrors were 
placed around SCP-3553-A-8. In order to ease 
the mental stress on SCP-3553-8, he was 
informed that this was a religious ritual which 
would drive away "demons". Several active 
Scranton Reality Anchors had been placed 
around SCP-3553-A-8. Dr. Fonseca was the 
presiding researcher, viewing the event 
through 10 camera feeds. 


SCP-3553-A-8's mother, Dr. Fenchurch, had 
requested access to SCP-3553-A-8 during the 
experiment. The request was approved by Dr. 
Fonseca. 


Based on the results of prior experiments, the 
experiment was considered to have a low 
chance of success. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Fonseca: OK, Robert, we have you in our 
sights. Physical contact will be maintained by 
your mother and Dr. Jones. Are you feeling 
alright? 


SCP-3553-A-8: Y-yes, thank you, ma’am. 


Dr. Fonseca: I’ve told you, call me Maria. OK, 


T-2 minutes. Hang in there, Robert. 

One minute passes with no communication. 
SCP-3553-A-8: Um, Mum? 

Dr. Fenchurch: Yes, Robert? 


SCP-3553-A-8: Do- do you think | will be OK? 
It's just... | Keep feeling like something's 
coming. 


Dr. Fenchurch: |- 


Dr. Fenchurch pauses for a moment, and 
visibly tenses. 


Dr. Fenchurch: Y-you're going to be 
absolutely fine, Robert. Nothing can hurt you 
here. Everyone here is a friend. You're 
perfectly s-safe. 


SCP-3553-A-8: It’s just that since I, um, | 
heard someone saying- 


Dr. Fonseca: Nothing is going to happen to 
you, Robert. There’s no way that it can. We've 
made sure of it. So hang in tight, ok? 


SCP-3553-A-8: ...I’m scared, Mum. 


Dr. Jones: It’s alright, Robert. Its OK. Look 
around you. There’s no way the demons can 
get you. There are lights shining all about us. 
Nothing can get near you. 


Dr. Fenchurch: Don’t worry, bean. l’ve got 
you. It’s going to be OK. 


SCP-3553-A-8: ...Alright. 


Dr. Jones: T-30 seconds, Dr. Fonseca. 


have sharply increased. 


Addendum 1a: Upon testing SCP-458 with SCP-__, the subject took 
a bite of the slice, which appeared to be a garlic-free slice of 
sausage and olive pizza on wheat crust. This was met with the 
response "It's a fine slice, but | would have preferred a rather 
different sauce." It was inferred that the box cannot use substances 
that are indigestible by regular human bodies. Further testing 
confirmed this. 


Addendum 1b: Please see Document #458-1a 


Document #458-1a: / would just like to remind all staff that just 
because we have a pizza box that can constantly create pizzas for 
you does not mean that you can just sit around and eat pizza all 
afternoon. If continued abuse of the box continues, coupled with 
reports of personnel gaining unhealthy amounts of weight, | may be 
forced to implement a mandatory physical training regimen following 
lunch hours. 


-Dr. del Morrino 


Document #458-1b: For simple curiosity's sake, and to, perhaps, 
get a better idea of the mindset of certain SCP's, | have compiled a 
list of sentient SCP's reactions when holding the box.

Dr. Fonseca: Thanks. Come on, Robert, be a 
brave boy! 


SCP-3553-A-8 has begun to silently cry. 
SCP-3553-A-8: Maria? 
Dr. Fonseca: Yes, Robert? 


SCP-3553-A-8: | think | know what the cartons 
are. 


Dr. Fenchurch: Wh- What? Robert? What do 
you mean? 


SCP-3553-A-8: They're... the others, they're 
dreaming of home... they're just trying to warn 
US... 


Dr. Fenchurch: Robert, stop it! How do you 
know about that? 


Dr. Fonseca: Dreaming of home? What does 
that mean, SC- Robert? 


SCP-3553-A-8 remains silent for 4 seconds. 
Dr. Fonseca: Robert? Are you alright? 


Dr. Fenchurch: B-bean, it's fine bean, it's all 
going to be fine... 


SCP-3553-A-8: M-Mum, | love you. It’s not 
your fault, OK? 


Dr. Fonseca: Robert, there is no need to- 
look, if you can tell us any more- 


SCP-3553-A-8: It's not because you're you, 
Mum, it's not your fault... it's just what parents 
do. They're afraid. And this is what comes 
after. 


Dr. Fenchurch: W-what? 


SCP-3553-A-8: Just- just don't be afraid of the 
dar- 


At this point, a power failure occurred, cutting 
of all video and audio links, as well as the 
floodlights. Upon restoration of power 10 
seconds later, SCP-3553-A-8 had 
disappeared, and the personnel on-site were 
in a state of considerable distress. All of the 
candles had been extinguished; the Scranton 
Reality Anchors were found to have 
completely burnt out. In the confusion, nobody 
was able to observe the disappearance of 
SCP-3553-A-8. 


Dr. Jones let go of SCP-3553-A-8 at the 
moment of the power cut, apparently 
momentarily startled. Dr. Fenchurch, however, 
did not; she later reported feeling SCP-3553- 
A-8 being “dragged downwards” over the 
course of 2-3 seconds. 


<End Log> 


Note: Following this incident, Drs. Fonseca 
and Fenchurch have requested to be 
transferred to different projects. These 
requests have been granted.

SCP-3554: No. 4 Borscht Canning Factory 


Item #: SCP-3554 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Site-90 has been established 
around the SCP-3554 facility. Any goods produced by SCP-3554 
may be destroyed or used within Site-90 at the discretion of the Site 
Director. Other use is prohibited. 


Site-90 has been disguised as a historical site shuttered due to 
structural safety concerns. SCP-3554 is the primary purpose of 
Site-90. Exposure of Site-90 may result in an international incident 
between the GRU "P" Division and the Foundation. 


Description: SCP-3554 refers to an underground canning facility 
occupying approximately 2 square kilometers underneath the Neva 
River in St. Petersburg, Russia. It possess a single entrance with 
limited access to a distribution point, with no access to any internal 
workings of the factory. 


The factory is fully automated and will produce approximately 
80,000 cans of borscht per day, under the "Cogpy»kectBo" brand!, 
pre-packaged in shipping pallets. This occurs without any external 
inputs. Visible factory equipment is obsolete, and driven through 
unknown means. Production begins promptly at 8:00 AM local time, 
and ceases at 12:00 AM the next day. No mechanism of disabling 
production appears to exist - SCP-3554 has no external electrical 
source, and internal mechanisms are self-contained. 


Produced cans are non-anomalous - the borscht contained within is 
described by test subjects as bland and subpar, but edible. 


Historical Information: SCP-3554 was established in 1914 by the 
Imperial Russian Ministry of War, with the assistance of the Sub- 
Ministry for the Secret, a precursor the GRU "P" Division, in order to 


supply frontline troops. Records of the location, existence, and 
function of SCP-3554 were lost or destroyed in the Russian 
Revolution, during which the Foundation quietly took control and 
scrubbed remaining traces of its existence. 


SCP-3554 was the focal point of Ethics Committee Case #784. See 
attached documents for further details. 


+ Ethics Committee Case #784 - Integrity Code 367149 - 
Level 4 Clearance Required 


Ethics Committee Deliberation - 12/20/41 


E-1: Alright, Case #784 has been opened. 2, 
play the complaint. 


E-2 plays a recorded phone call 


Site Director Bessonov: ...never thought I'd 
ever have to call this line, but | guess I'm out of 
options. Regional command won't listen, and 
I'm not brave enough to stage a mutiny. I'll 
speak plainly. The city of Leningrad is under 
siege. I'm going through city records - 
Leningrad had a population of 3.1 million in 
1937, and that's not counting any refugees 
from the west. The evacuation was haphazard 
- it's unlikely that more than half of them were 
evacuated before the damned Finns closed 
the gap. 


Site Director Bessonov: The city is under 
constant shelling and bombardment. Electricity 
is seldom available, and temperatures are at 
most minus 20 degrees centigrade. 


Site Director Bessonov: Don't take it from me 
- take it from the people of Leningrad. They've 
been instructed that this is a line directly to 
Leningrad Military District headquarters, and 
that the purpose of this call is to hear from 


ordinary Leningraders how desperate the 
conditions here are. They can express it far 
better than | can | ever could. 


[UNKNOWN]: This is Gennady Isonovich, 
deputy director for Leningrad Ministry of 
Health. People are dropping dead in the street, 
and death tolls are reaching tens of thousands 
per week. If circumstance don't change, by this 
time next year there won't be a Leningrad, and 
they'll probably have to rename the fucking 
military district after Adolf Fucking Hitler, 
because he'll own whatever is left! 


[UNKNOWN]: |. D. Strashun, First Medical - 
the medical staff and supplies are stretched far 
past the limit - our surgeons operate to the 
sounds of enemy airplanes, anti-aircraft gun 
shots and mine blasts. There's no food, there's 
no medical supplies. Any normally minor 
infection is a death sentence. Caloric intake 
even for high-priority residents is far 
insufficient. 


[UNKNOWN]: The meat Daddy keeps bringing 
back tastes funny. 


[UNKNOWN]: I'll be honest, | fought with the 
Whites in the civil war, and I've always hated 
you fucking communists with every fiber of my 
being. | have every intention of cursing Stalin 
and his fucking rubber-stamp "people's" party 
with my dying breath. All | ever wanted from 
you was to give a damn about your own 
fucking people. Lose Leningrad, and the rest 
of our glorious Union along with it, or hold it, 
and maybe, maybe we'll have enough left to 
rebuild. 


[UNKNOWN]: Alexander Narmanov. Kliment 
Zeborov. Nina Sebwinsky. | don't know who 


these people are. | just know that | killed them 
this week for their ration cards. 


[UNKNOWN]: If we are not killed by Nazi 
bombs, we will freeze to death in the streets. If 
we do not freeze to death in the streets, will 
starve to death. If we do not starve to death, 
we've probably been murdered by others 
trying not to starve to death. 


[UNKNOWN]: Mikhail Samsonov, Ministry of 
Agriculture. We only have tiny fractions of 
whatever food supplies are required to feed 
the remaining military, not to mention the civil 
population! Something must change, or 
Leningrad is lost! 


[UNKNOWN]: Forget it. Leningrad is lost. I'd 
say | hope using Leningrad as a sacrificial 
lamb weighs on Stalin's conscience, but | think 
we both know it won't. 


Site Director Bessonov: I'm not willing to 
condemn half a million people to death when 
we're sitting on top of the solution! 


Site Director Bessonov: I'll be the first to 
admit that this complaint is not selfless - 
Leningrad has been my home for 30 years. 
Damn the Nazis, damn the Soviets, but, for the 
love of all that is holy, save the people of 
Leningrad! Our mission is to protect humanity 
in all its forms - pledging secrecy is useless if 
after we crawl out of our anomalous hovels, all 
that is left is rubble! 


E-1: Thanks, 2. Gentleman, Director Bessonov 
is requesting to expose SCP-3554 to the ChD 
AKN2, who would then use it to help relieve 
the siege. 


E-1: 3, start us off. 


E-3: I'm inclined to say no. We should not 
interfere in the mundane conflicts in the world, 
in any place, at any time, for any reason. Our 
job is to conceal anomalies and protect 
humanity from them - if whatever choice that 
presents itself forces us to break one to do the 
other, concealment always comes before 
humanity - or do we want to go back on our 
decision about D-class. 


E-4: The line is a bit blurry here. We know the 
Obskuracorps are working on the Eastern 
Front, and whatever forces the Soviets can 
muster, anomalous or not, are obviously doing 
everything they can to aid Leningrad. At what 
point does the mundane end and the 
anomalous begin? 


E-3: When we stop being able to conceal it. 


E-2: I'm inclined to support on humanitarian 
grounds. Death tolls could reach into the 
hundreds of thousands - Bessonov is right, 
protecting humanity is priority one, especially 
with such a benign anomaly. 


E-5: Ah, Yevgeniy. Willing to compromise for 
your own countrymen, but not those dirty 
foreigners in Nanjing3? Were we not in this 
room for a very similar question not four years 
ago? If you're going to sacrifice everyone on 
the altar of concealment, you'd best do so in 
an even-handed fashion, yes? 


E-2: This is different, 5. You wanted to use 
[REDACTED] - and half a dozen other 
anomalies, and just hand them over to the 
Nationalist Chinese. This is measured and 
minor. That... wasn't. 


E-5: | tried to compromise. To give them 
something, anything! Evacuations, food, 
sanctuary! 


E-4: | remember you being pretty adamant, 
ne
