Description: SCP-3421 is a species of anomalous organic cellular 
towers. Towers closely resemble non-anomalous towers 
camouflaged to resemble trees!. Instances integrate with the 
surrounding infrastructure and operate as cellular towers within local 
network specifications. The branches of SCP-3421 have 
photovoltaic properties, which enable it to continue operations 
during daylight hours in the event that power is disconnected. 


SCP-3421 produces novel transmissions as well as acting as 
standard cellular relays. It is unknown whether SCP-3421 instances 
use these transmissions to communicate or the transmissions are 
merely a byproduct of the object’s primary anomalous effect. 


SCP-3421-1 is the designation for mobile telephones that have 
received anomalous transmissions from SCP-3421. In the presence 
of soil and near favorable power-line conditions, instances of 
SCP-3421-1 can mature into full instances of SCP-3421 in as little 


as 72 hours. 


Discovery: , a wireless concealment company, 
developed the first camouflaged cell towers in early 1992. The first 
instance of SCP-3421 was discovered on 04/05/1992 in Tucson, AZ, 
after city officials started receiving complaints about improperly 
zoned cell tower constructions. Foundation personnel embedded in 
the planning department of the city investigated the lead. MTF- 
Theta-4 ("Gardeners") was dispatched to contain the newly 
discovered instance. After a review of the city, other instances 
were found and contained. MTF-Theta-4-1 was formed afterwards 
for ongoing containment operations. It is currently unknown how 
many uncontained instances of SCP-3421 exist. 


Addendum 3421-a: On 05/05/2016, an instance of SCP-3421 was 
discovered in , , United States. A field study on the 
reproductive mechanisms of the anomaly was authorized and MTF- 
Theta-4-1 was dispatched to the location with instructions to collect 
data before moving the instance to containment. Signals being 
relayed through the instance were intercepted and recorded for 
close study. A transcript of notable logs are attached.

SCP-443: Thought-streaming Crayons 


Item #: SCP-443 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its nature and relative 
fragility, SCP-443 is kept in a locked drawer in Dr. Ziegler's office 
(Sector 28). Access to Level 1 personnel and higher is freely 
granted at the discretion of Dr. Ziegler, or his assistant, upon 
request, with limitation applied at their discretion. Due to wear, the 
original packaging is filed in the archives record as 6- __. All drawn 
material is to be handed back to the person who authorized the use. 


Description: SCP-443 is a mostly complete 16-piece set of Crayola 
crayons, numbered SCP-443-01 through 14. The set is a model 
(BS0366) which was produced between 1997 and 1999, although 
the serial number on the packaging is outside the range of the 
product. Two crayons ("Blue Green" and "Violet/Purple") are 
missing. SCP-443-05 is snapped in two pieces (05a and 05b), while 
SCP-443-09 had its non-writing end damaged in a nibbling incident 
involving SCP-529 which, for this reason should be kept away from 
the items. 


SCP-443 was recovered from , California, after san 
amateur artist, noticed its effects and asked for help from a 
paranormal investigator. The crayons had originally belonged to 

's daughter for several weeks. was adamant that he never 
bought them, and that they were not given to her. All works 
produced by and his daughter were confiscated and are listed as 
record 6- of the archives. 


When drawing is attempted with SCP-443, what is produced is 
actually a "stream of thoughts" emanating directly from unknown 
people. The user is entirely unaware of this until they stop using the 
crayons, at which time they become aware that they have written or 
drawn something completely unrelated to what they were intending 


VOICE 2: Listen. | am going to keep on 
fighting while | still can, but... when | do go, 
don't have them bury me. 


VOICE 1: Leigh, stop. 
VOICE 2: | want to be cremated. 
VOICE 1: Leigh, please don't talk like that. 


VOICE 2: No, | need to get real. What if | don't 
make it? 


VOICE 1: How can you say that?! How can 
you say you'll fight, and then turn around and 
make funeral plans? 


VOICE 2: I'm sorry. You're right. | should stay 
positive, right? 


<pause> 


VOICE 2: | hate that we're talking about this 
over the phone. They won't let me have any 
visitors before the operation. 


VOICE 1: Leigh, I'm sorry. 
VOICE 2: No, | am. 


VOICE 1: No really. I'm sorry for stressing you

VOICE 2: You're not stressing me out. Jane, |

Closing Statement : An instance of 
SCP-3421-1 was recovered buried in 

Park on 05/23/16. Tests concerning the 
properties and capabilities of SCP-3421-1 are 
pending further approval. The previous owner 
of the instance was located on 05/24/2016 and 
Class B Amnestics were administered. 


Footnotes 

1. Due to aesthetic concerns and public scrutiny, new municipal 
projects involving the establishment of cellular towers often call for 
them to be camouflaged or stylized to better blend in with its 
surroundings. 


SCP-3422: A Culpritless Crime 


Item #: SCP-3422 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3422 is to be preserved in 
cold storage at Site-10 and kept under guard by two security 
personnel at all times. Under no circumstances are personnel to 
attempt learning more regarding the circumstances behind the 
murder of SCP-3422. All personnel working with SCP-3422 are to 
be periodically administered with Class-B amnestics in order to 
prevent activation of its anomalous effects. 


All information regarding the murder of SCP-3422 is to be removed 
from public record, and a cover story involving its death in a car 
crash is to be disseminated. SCP-3422's close family and friends 
with knowledge of its murder are to be dosed with Class-C 
amnestics in order to correct their memory to suit this cover story. 


Description: SCP-3422 is the corpse of thirty-five year old Paul 
Henderson, who was shot and killed in his home by an anonymous 
assailant on 01/09/2011. SCP-3422's anomalous effects activate 
shortly after any individual (hereafter referred to as the victim) 
attempts to learn more about its murder in a manner that could lead 
them to the culprit. This can consist of attempts to gather evidence, 
locate potential witnesses or even simply idle thought regarding the 
murder. 


Upon activation of its anomalous properties, SCP-3422 will 
disappear from its original location and manifest as several, animate 
clones of SCP-3422 within the vicinity of the victim. These clones 
will hereafter be referred to as instances of SCP-3422-1. There does 
not appear to be a maximum range to SCP-3422's anomalous 
properties. 


Instances of SCP-3422-1 will pursue the victim indefinitely,
