Following the enactment of protocol ALABASTER and Foundation's 
withdrawal to the Orange Zone, SCP-3731 casualties to other 
breached/uncontained anomalies (some of which are themselves 
affected by thaumic mutation) have also risen to significant levels. 
Reconnaissance data suggest that the number of living SCP-3731 
instances is no more than 5% of the baseline human population. 


Field reports suggest that the thaumic innervation and polymorphic 
variance of individual SCP-3731 instances continuously increases 
over time, causing the instances to take on increasingly paranormal 
forms and capabilities. The resulting accumulation of anomalous 
activity has had catastrophic effects on global ecosystems and 
geology; earthquakes, firespouts, the appearance of mountains and 
sinkholes, "dead zones" incompatible with life for various reasons, 
and falls of animals from the sky have all been reported. SCP-3731 
are projected to render the planet uninhabitable by 2024 if allowed 
to continue at the current rate. 


+ Timeline of Significant Early Encounters: 


10/16/2018: First contact with SCP-3731 
instances during containment of SCP-3396. 


11/1/2018: Foundation, GOC, United Nations 
and Unusual Incidents Unit establish 
demilitarized neutral zone around SCP-3396 to 
prevent global warfare and lifted veil scenario. 


"Miracles" and other anomalous events are 
reported across the country as thaumic 
infection begins to spread, requiring the 
amnesticization of over 70,000 civilians. 


12/11/2018: SCP-3731 instances present on 
all 6 inhabited continents. Estimated 0.8% of 


global population infected. 


SCP-3731 instance in London, England 
enables crowd at outdoor concert to fly by 
imitating a flapping motion with their arms, 
creating extremely visible display of mass 
anomalous activity. MTFs Tau-91 
("Mageslayers") and Eta-67 ("Bird Dogs") 
deployed for securing and containment. 
Amnestics administered by helicopter. All 
affected individuals found to be contaminated 
with blue matter, and later convert into 
SCP-3731 instances. Foundation casualties: 0. 
SCP-3731 contained: 314. Civilians 
amnesticized: approximately 9,000. 


12/29/2018: Estimated 1.4% of global 
population converted to SCP-3731. All 
Foundation personnel trained in thaumaturgy 
are reassigned to the warding of Foundation 
Sites from symbiotic infection. 


3 SCP-3731 instances in Paris, France use 
anomalous capabilities to rob an armored 
truck. Responding field agents are quickly 
overwhelmed, necessitating the deployment of 
MTF Omega-12 ("Achilles' Heels") to 
neutralize the instances. Foundation 
casualties: 18. Civilian casualties: 29. Civilians 
amnesticized: 447. 


2/2/2019: Estimated 2.5% of global population 

converted to SCP-3731. GOC authorizes lethal 
force against SCP-3731 for all units worldwide, 
leading to a lifted veil scenario and widespread 
rioting. 


O5 mandate 3731-Ov17 establishes Orange 
Zone in Sonoran desert, Arizona. City of 

Phoenix evacuated, thaumically warded, and 
commandeered for use as headquarters and 


staging area of zone operations. 
Approximately 1,420,000 civilians displaced. 
Approximately 30,000 SCP-3731 instances 
identified and contained through joint effort by 
numerous specialized task forces. Provisional 
Containment Area 1 constructed to house 
surplus population of SCP-3731. 


4/7/2019: Estimated 11.3% of global 
population converted to SCP-3731. National, 
state, and local governments are largely 
unable to function. O5 mandate 3731-Ov76 (7 
in favor, 4 opposed, 2 abstaining) authorizes 
use of anomalous methods in the containment 
of SCP-3731, including reverse engineering of 
paratechnology, use of necrothaumaturgy, and 
collusion with extradimensional entities. 


6/19/2019: Estimated 38% of global population 
converted to SCP-3731. GOC neutralization 
efforts have failed and the Coalition no longer 
appears to be active. O5-7 converted to 
SCP-3731 instance; voluntarily enters 
containment. 


8/1/2019: Estimated 56% of global population 
converted to SCP-3731. 


City of Jaipur, India is almost entirely 
destroyed when an infant converted to 
SCP-3731 begins consuming nearby people 
and objects and incorporating them into its 
own body. Instance continues to grow and 
metamorphose as it seeks and assimilates 
individuals, food, and toys. Neutralization 
efforts are unsuccessful; instance is 
terminated by a coordinated effort from 
approximately 100 other instances, which 
engage it with their anomalous capabilities. 


Foundation casualties: 206. Civilian casualties: 


estimated 2,400,000. 


At this time, breakthroughs in antithaumic technology enabled the 
Foundation to develop weapons and other countermeasures 
effective against SCP-3731.

+ Timeline of Active TPK- 
Class Thaumaturgic Proliferation Scenario: 


8/24/2019: Estimated 77% of global population 
converted. O5 mandate 3731-Ov201 recalls all 
Foundation assets and operations to Orange 
Zone. 


Development begins on the Lilac series of 
neutralization procedures. Lilac procedures 
use a combination of thaumic evocation, 
anomalous medical interventions, and radical 
surgery to restore SCP-3731 instances to 
human state. 


9/19/2019: Estimated 89% of global population 
converted. Reclamation of Tucson 
commences. SCP-3731 instances are 
unprepared for newly-developed 
countermeasures. Foundation casualties: 39. 
SCP-3731 casualties: 842. SCP-3731 
contained: 12,656. 


O5 mandate 3731-Ov248 (7 in favor, 4 
opposed, 0 abstaining) authorizes procedure 
01-Lilac for use on contained instances. 
Procedure survival rate: 0.01%. 


10/14/2019: Global population completely 
converted to SCP-3731. Humanity is extinct 
outside the Orange Zone. 


O5-1 is lost during the destruction of Site-63; 
entire Site, and surrounding landscape, 
launched into space by SCP-3731 instances. 


11/1/2019: Reclamation of El Paso 
commences. Foundation casualties: 124. 
SCP-3731 casualties: 599. SCP-3731 
contained: 16,902. 


Procedure 05-Lilac authorized for use on 
contained instances. Procedure survival rate: 
6.1%. 


11/10/2019: Reclamation of Albuquerque. 
Foundation casualties: 201. SCP-3731 
casualties: 456. SCP-3731 contained: 13,219. 


2/6/2020: O5-2's safe house located and 
attacked by group of 44 SCP-3731 instances; 
05-2 and pair of bodyguards defend residence 
using prototype stealth-equipped combat 
exoskeletons. Residence becomes site of 
Battle of Latrobe. Foundation casualties: 3. 
SCP-3731 casualties: 43. SCP-3731 
contained: 0. 


3/8/2020: 05-4 converted to SCP-3731. Sends 
message to all Foundation-associated email 
and cellular text addresses simultaneously 
("THRIVE") before disappearing. 


Expedition to Santa Fe reports that entire city 
has become a dense forest of humanoid trees, 
with anomalous fauna and microclimate. City 
deemed irreclaimable. Bombing commences. 


3/18/2020: Provisional Containment Area 9 
undergoes supply shortages; area director is 
forced to ration electricity, limiting the 
provisionally-contained SCP-3731 instances’ 
access to air conditioning. After two days of 


subject can absorb, and existing memories are not overwritten. This 
data is corroborated by Interrogation Report 484-A33, though all 
answers from this report must still remain suspect. Testing allowed 
several subjects to have their memories, from childhood to the 
present, completely erased and absorbed by other test subjects. 
Those absorbing the memories reported initial discomfort and 
confusion by the double memories, but all those absorbed seem as 
real and personal as the subject's original memories. These 
memories seem to be maintained as long as the subject's memory is 
not damaged by some other chemical or trauma. 


The risk SCP-484 poses to information security is high, and as such 
its tight regulation is vital. Research is ongoing into using SCP-484 
in multiple fields. If properly controlled, it could be used to extract 
unwanted memories of security breaches or traumatic experiences. 
Permission is currently pending for use of SCP-484 with various 
memetic hazards. Priority is given to experiments concerning 
SCP-484's use in advanced espionage and information security. 


Addendum: 
Excerpt from Interrogation Report 484-A33: 
Interrogator: Dr. , assisted by Agent 
Supervisor: Dr. 
Subject: "Crimson Andrew" , detained drug dealer from 
, USA. 
Dr. : So you still maintain that you were never 


involved in the manufacture of this drug? 
Crimson Andrew: (coughing) Done told you that 


already. 

Dr. : Indeed you have. Yet | remain unconvinced. Do 
you think another session with Agent would change 
my mind? 


Crimson Andrew: (spitting) Fuck you. Do whatever you 
want, won't change anything. Just kill me already and get 
it over with. 

Dr. : Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Now, 
please describe what it is like to use SCP-484. 

Crimson Andrew: When you drop Vic, man, it's like 
nothing else. I've tripped on anything | could get in my 


rationing, 37 instances have expired from heat 
stroke. PCA-9 is destroyed in the ensuing 
riots, resulting in the breach of approximately 
14,000 instances. 


4/27/2020: Reclamation of Las Vegas 
commences. Organized resistance to 
reclamation efforts forces retreat by 
Foundation military assets. 

Foundation casualties: 5,379. SCP-3731 
casualties: unknown; estimated 950. 
SCP-3731 contained: 0. 


6/4/2020: Provisional Containment Area 7 is 
overrun by SCP-3731 using improvised 
military tactics, resulting in the breach of an 
estimated 17,500 instances. 


7/17/2020: Reconnaissance indicates that 
communities of SCP-3731 have established 
independent governments and trade. 
Instances generally attempt to imitate human 
society. Natural disasters caused by the 
accumulation of anomalous activity (e.g. hails 
of biting skulls, sentient lightning storms) make 
travel and construction hazardous. 


9/20/2020: Food and water shortages at 
Provisional Containment Area 11 result in the 
expiration of over 400 SCP-3731 instances 
over the course of the week. Area director 
Francesca Whitlark makes the unauthorized 
decision to shut down PCA-1 1's containment 
operations, resulting in the breach of 
approximately 11,000 instances. 


1/4/2021: MTF Phi-00 "Loyalists" formed, 
consisting of SCP-3731 instances who 
retained allegiance to the Foundation post- 
conversion. MTF Phi-00 assigned to defense 
of Orange Zone borders. 


Flora and fauna affected by thaumic mutation 
continue to take on increasingly dangerous 
forms. Travel outside the Zone is impossible 
without specially equipped military escort. 


3/10/2021: Alvarado report confirms continuing 
increase in the thaumic strength of SCP-3731. 
Long-term projection indicates that continued 
thaumic proliferation will render the planet 
uninhabitable for non-anomalous life by 2027. 


8/2/2022: Dr. Tilda Moose and MTF Sigma-3 
"Bibliographers" are revealed to have 
been acting as agents of the 
Serpent's Hand for at least 2 
years, aiding and abetting the escape of 
SCP-3731 instances to the Wanderer's 
Library. 


7/2/2023: Provisional Containment Area 2 
(formerly the city of Tucson) is overrun by 
SCP-3731 instances. 


MTF A-00 killed in action after SCP-3731 
instances hijack several Giant-class 
automated combat drones and successfully 
reprogram them to attack Foundation forces. 


1/1/2024 SCP-3396 breaks pattern of inactivity 
and begins ascending into the upper 
atmosphere. All Foundation thaumic scanning 
equipment worldwide malfunctions 
simultaneously to display the reading 
"THRIVE." 


Geographical data accelerates the timeline of 
the Alvarado report. Earth projected to be 
uninhabitable for non-anomalous organisms by 
April of 2024.

Footnotes 

1. Thaumaturgy is the capability to consciously affect physical 
changes to the environment using non-physical methods. The level 
of thaumic innervation present in SCP-3731 allows instances to use 
cognition, visualization, soeech, or gestures to cause events that 
violate physical laws such as cause and effect or the conservation of 
mass and energy.
