Item #: SCP-3043 


Object Class: Neutralized (formerly Safe) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3043 is to be 
kept in a secure locker on-site. Access requires Level-3 
clearance. 


Description: SCP-3043 is a 1937 Olympia Elite 
typewriter. Two .44 caliber bullets are lodged in its 
casing. Before it was neutralized, SCP-3043 exhibited 
the ability to rewrite any physical document within its 
immediate vicinity to match whatever was typed into it. It 
was neutralized before any additional properties could be 
confirmed. 


On 14-12-2005, a containment breach occurred at 
Site-95. During this breach, an unknown anomalous 
event prevented all outside contact for approximately 3 
hours. All entities affected by this anomaly have no 
recollection of the events that occurred during these 3 
hours; furthermore, all recording devices within Site-95 
appear to have malfunctioned during this period. 


Shortly after this event concluded, Site-95 reported all 
SCPs were now contained with the exception of 
SCP-3043. SCP-3043 was found in Dr. Lewis’ office in its 
current state. Dr. Lewis also discovered that all copies of 
SCP-3043's documentation were now replaced with an 
‘updated' version (see attached files).

FADE IN: 
EXT. DOCKS - SUNSET 


MURPHY stands at the edge of the docks, watching 
the sun go down on just another day. Behind him, 
two sleek black cars roll up. A dozen men start 
pouring out of them, but he doesn't bother to look 


back. 


The men are smartly dressed in black suits; they 
crowd around a short old woman dressed in white. 
She slowly approaches MURPHY, leaning heavily on 
her cane. One man follows her closely — her 
personal secretary and bodyguard. 


The man is AGENT FREDERICK; whatever it is, he 
does it by the books. The woman is 05-5 — and if we 
told you anything else, we'd have to kill you. 


O5-5 moves to watch the sunset besides MURPHY. 
AGENT FREDERICK is clearly displeased; he'd 
rather she not get too close. 


05-5 
You did some good work today, Mr. Law. 
MURPHY 
Yeah. 


O5-5 reaches to pull a cigarette out of her pocket, 
placing it between her lips. 


05-5 


If we ever need your services... how might 
we contact you? 


MURPHY leans forward and plucks the cigarette out 
of O5-5's mouth. AGENT FREDERICK immediately 
reaches for his firearm, but O5-5 lifts her hand to 
stop him. 


MURPHY 
I'll be around. 


MURPHY tucks the cigarette behind his ear for later. 


As he walks away, a fog begins to roll in. 


AGENT FREDERICK steps forward, as if to go after 
MURPHY. O5-5 grabs him by the shoulder. 


AGENT FREDERICK 


But — he's an anomaly. We can't let him 
go. We have to contain him— 


05-5 
(shaking her head) 
Forget it, Fred. It's Chinatown. 


AGENT FREDERICK slides his hand away from his 
firearm. Together, they watch MURPHY walk off into 
the foggy night. 


The camera focuses on MURPHY's silhouette as the 
view fades to black.

SCP-3044: Evolution In A Bottle 


Item #: SCP-3044 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3044 is to be contained at 
Site-234 in the centre of a hermetically sealed chamber of at least 
4m x 4m x 3m, accessible only via a double airlock system. Each 
section of the airlock must be capable of running a full biological 
decontamination protocol. Access to the chamber is to be granted 
only in the six hours following a Flash event, and only if the previous 
instance of SCP-3044-1 was successfully contained within 
SCP-3044. All maintenance must be performed during this time 
period, and no access is to be granted outside of this time frame for 
any reason. Due to this relatively small time frame, all maintenance 
personnel and other staff requiring access should be pre-approved 
by the Senior Researcher. 


A robotic arm capable of remotely placing a new cap on SCP-3044 
must be fixed to the ceiling, and must be used to reseal SCP-3044 
following a Flash event if required. Ultra high-speed cameras 
capable of at least 100x zoom must be positioned in the 
containment chamber to allow for 100% visibility of SCP-3044's 
contents. 


Description: SCP-3044 is a clear glass bottle with a spherical body 
measuring 1.2m in diameter, tapering up to a neck and mouth 28cm 
in diameter, with a full height of 1.7m. SCP-3044 contains a micro- 
environment typically unique from anything found on Earth. These 
environments are designated SCP-3044-1. At random intervals! 
SCP-3044 will emit a bright flash of light (henceforth referred to as a 
Flash event) which lasts for less than a second. 


During the Flash event the current instance of SCP-3044-1 is 
destroyed and replaced with a new instance. This new instance will 
begin as a layer of soil with an atmosphere and liquids, made up of 


seemingly random combinations of different elements. Shortly after 
the Flash event,? signs of life will begin to appear within SCP-3044. 


This life typically starts as bacteria or some other microscopic 
organism, whose presence can be inferred from visible changes in 
the composition of the environment. It then rapidly develops into 
plant and animal life, though many variations on this have been 
observed. Time within SCP-3044 flows at a highly accelerated rate, 
though this acceleration does not solely account for the speed at 
which life develops, suggesting some form of guided or controlled 
evolution. These factors make observation with the naked eye 
difficult. 


SCP-3044 itself appears to be made up of non-anomalous 
borosilicate glass and is therefore easily broken. The original 
stopper found with SCP-3044 was replaced with a custom one 
allowing for easy sampling of the contents without risk of 
contamination in either direction. This sampling is to be done 
immediately after each Flash event. 


Addendum #01: Following Incident 3044-001, containment 
procedures have been upgraded and a request to upgrade 
classification from Safe to Euclid has been submitted. See Incident 
Report for details. 

Note: Upgrade to Euclid class confirmed. 


Incident 3044-001 Final Report: On - -199 , SCP-3044 suddenly 
and unexpectedly shattered while Researcher T was in the 
containment chamber. The current instance of SCP-3044-1, in this 
case consisting of a large variety of fungal spores, was released into 
the air and inhaled by Researcher T . This rapidly resulted in 
severe seizures and then death. Over the course of the next hour 
Researcher T 's body, clothing, and all non-metallic objects on 
their person were completely consumed by the fungus. The reason 
for SCP-3044's shattering is believed to be high pressure caused by 
the buildup of spores within. 


The seal on the containment chamber held, but the risk of 
contamination made entrance impossible. Over the course of the 
following nine days, the fungus was observed covering and 
consuming every surface of the containment chamber - albeit at a 


much slower rate than it consumed Researcher T - at which 
point a Flash event occurred despite the damage to SCP-3044. 


Following the Flash event SCP-3044 was found intact and in its 
original location, although the stopper was missing and the new 
instance of SCP-3044-1 occupied the entire containment chamber. 
The previous instance of SCP-3044-1 had been completely 
removed, though damage to the containment chamber walls was still 
present. 


Personnel wearing Level 4 Biohazard Suits entered the chamber 
and inserted a new stopper, and attempted to retrieve any remains 
or equipment left by Researcher T , though none were found. 


The new instance of SCP-3044-1 lasted for 4 days and 13 hours, 
during which time an ecosystem vastly more complicated than is 
usually created by SCP-3044 emerged, until the Flash event 
occurred and the new instance of SCP-3044-1 was once again 
contained within SCP-3044, the new stopper having remained in 
place. Following this incident, SCP-3044 was moved to a more 
secure biological containment facility. 


+ Experiment Log 3044-A 


Following Incident 3044-001, experimentation began to 
determine the exact nature of SCP-3044's Flash events. 


Experiment 01 

Test: A length of iron 50cm long was placed against the 
body of SCP-3044 and left until the next Flash event. 
Baseline expectation test. 

Result: No effect. Following the Flash event, the iron rod 
was unchanged. 


Experiment 02 

Test: Following a Flash event, the stopper was removed 
from SCP-3044. 

Result: The primarily aluminium-based ecosystem 
began to grow out towards the mouth of SCP-3044, 
starting with flying organisms and followed later by vine- 
like tendrils growing out and over the outside of 


SCP-3044. Following the Flash event, the new instance 
of SCP-3044-1 filled the entire containment chamber; the 
ground was covered in soil with multiple large "lakes" of 
an unknown yellow-brown liquid, and the air within the 
chamber was replaced with a cloudy green gas. As per 
containment procedures, access to take samples of this 
environment was not granted. 


Experiment 03 

Test: Directly following the previous experiment, the 
stopper was left out of SCP-3044. 

Result: In a manner consistent with the effects observed 
during Incident 3044-001, the effect of SCP-3044 
encompassed the entire chamber. Following the next 
Flash event, the new instance of SCP-3044-1 also 
encompassed the entire chamber. 


Note by Dr. : Both instances in which SCP-3044-1 
filled the entire containment chamber developed a far 
greater variety of lifeforms, and even began forming 
some basic weather patterns in the atmosphere. Once 
these experiments are concluded, consideration should 
be given to leaving the stopper out of SCP-3044 long- 
term. 


Experiment 04 

Test: Directly following the Flash event in the previous 
experiment, the stopper was replaced in SCP-3044. 
Result: Evolution within SCP-3044-1 proceeded as 
expected, although because the ecosystem within 
SCP-3044 was now isolated from that filling the 
containment chamber, evolution resulted in markedly 
different varieties of life-forms. Following the Flash event, 
SCP-3044-1 was once again contained entirely within 
SCP-3044, with all material (including the atmosphere) 
outside of SCP-3044 removed. 


Note by Dr. : Following this experiment, | decided to 
check the samples we had taken from previous 
instances of SCP-3044-1 and stored. All of them were 
present and accounted for; it is unknown why they didn't 


vanish with the rest of their environments, when direct 
connection to the inside of SCP-3044 is obviously not 
required. A range-based factor, perhaps? 


Experiment 05 

Test: SCP-3044 was temporarily transferred to the on- 
site Long Range Testing Chamber,? with samples taken 
from the current instance of SCP-3044-1 placed at 100m 
intervals through the length of the chamber. 

Result: All of the samples disappeared following the 
Flash event. 


Note by Dr. : OK, not a ranged based effect. Line of 
sight, perhaps? SCP-3044 was sealed which suggests 
something a little more complex. 


Experiment 06 

Test: As in Experiment 05. The stopper was removed 
from SCP-3044. Following the Flash event a series of 
random objects were placed at varying distances along 
the test chamber and the stopper was replaced. 

Result: The new instance of SCP-3044-1 filled the entire 
length of the Long Range Testing Chamber. In order to 
ensure containment regular thermal decontamination 
protocols were run throughout the chamber until the next 
Flash event, at which point the new instance was fully 
contained within SCP-3044. The previous instance was 
completely destroyed, leaving behind the objects placed 
in the chamber. 


Summary from Dr. : This is the full extent of the 
range of effect on SCP-3044 that we can safely test, but 
there's no reason to assume it can't go much further. If 
nothing else, this has highlighted the importance of 
maintaining proper containment on SCP-3044 - if a Flash 
event occurred in an uncontained environment while the 
stopper was removed, there's no telling what damage it 
would do. Replacing a non-trivial chunk of the Earth's 
surface with some random alien landscape would be the 
best case scenario. 


chest). The specimens lysed ten days later when Mr. was 
taking a bath. 


Foundation-prepared explorational vehicles discovered and 
contained the initial specimens. Recently, a civilian research 
expedition to the Guayamas Basin trench brought up footage of 
more specimens, and it is theorized that SCP-371 is native to Hadal 
areas of the ocean floor, including vent areas, surfacing when prey 
becomes scarce. 


« SCP-370 | SCP-371 | SCP-372 » 


I'm suggesting that SCP-3044 be contained away from 
any other objects that are likely to destructively break 
containment. SCP-3044 itself isn't too difficult to contain - 
a sealed room seems like it will do the job - but it would 
only take the smallest amount of bad timing to end in 
disaster. 


+ Observation Log 3044-001 


Note: Following are notable excerpts from the 
observation log. For access to the full log, contact the 
Senior Researcher. The observation log was started 
during instance SCP-3044-1-003, after the constantly 
cycling nature of SCP-3044 became apparent. 
Observations largely transcribed from viewings of 
recordings due to the difficulties of observation with the 
naked eye caused by the time accelerating effect within 
SCP-3044 


Subject: SCP-3044-1-001 

Composition: Unknown 

Notes: Instance of SCP-3044-1 present on 
arrival at Site . Protocols for retrieving 
chemical samples not yet in place. 


Observations: Primary features included a 
forest of various species of "giant" fungus 
(visual analysis shows at least 17 distinct 
species) and a species of flying reptiles with 
six wings. This instance of SCP-3044-1 lasted 
for two hours after arrival at Site beforea 
Flash event, resulting in a lack of visual 
documentation. Atmosphere within SCP-3044 
was noted as having a distinct purple tint, 
theorised to be caused by fungal spores. 


Subject: SCP-3044-1-005 

Composition: Soil layer contains high 
concentrations of iron and silicon. Lake of 
liquid ammonia covers approximately 30% of 
total surface. Atmosphere primarily argon. 


Notes: The chemical composition of this 
instance of SCP-3044-1 is impossible under 
ordinary circumstances; at the temperature 
and pressure present within SCP-3044 
ammonia would be a gas, not a liquid. This 
suggests a larger scale manipulation of reality 
within the confines of SCP-3044. 


Observations: 18 hours after instantiation, 
lake began to bubble violently for 54 minutes, 
releasing more gases into the atmosphere 
which testing revealed to be primarily nitrogen 
and carbon monoxide. 73 hours after the 
atmosphere stabilised, small creatures 
resembling millipedes with metallic carapaces 
emerged from the lake and over the course of 
three weeks evolved into a large variety of 
creatures resembling insects with thick metallic 
shells. Of particular note was the lack of plant 
life in this instance, resulting in a complex and 
almost completely carnivorous food-chain. 
Addendum: It was later discovered that the 
sample of liquid ammonia collected from this 
instance of SCP-3044-1 reverted to its 
expected gaseous state following the 
subsequent Flash event.
