It was discovered through this experiment that female subjects 
materialize in SCP-2127-1 wearing a gray dress, while male 
subjects appear wearing a dark pinstripe suit and a gray trilby. This 
attire has been consistent in later tests. Both the suit and the dress 
bear badges for the Munich Police Department. The two D-Class 
observed no strange characteristics in the clothing. 


All paraphernalia and clothing that was on the person of subjects 
upon coming into contact with SCP-2127 will disappear upon 
entrance into SCP-2127-1, and is returned upon exiting. Conversely, 
all paraphernalia gathered while within SCP-2127-1 disappears 
upon exiting. After 24 hours within SCP-2127-1, subjects will be 
returned to the shrine, along with a card reading “Maybe next time, 
detective!” There has been one exception to this. (see Exploration 
Log 2127-1A) 


List of Materials Given to subjects upon Entrance to 
SCP-2127-1: 


* One (1) .857 Magnum Trooper handgun, fully loaded (upon 
testing, it was discovered that the rounds were blanks) 


* One (1) plastic flashlight with replacement batteries 


Two (2) sticks of white chalk 

Three (3) numbered evidence bags 
One (1) notepad and pen 

One (1) pack of candy cigarettes 
+Exploration Log 2127-1A 


The following is a summary of information taken from 
various interviews with Agent Daniel Jackson. Agent 
Jackson and Agent Lukas Keller were assigned to enter 
SCP-2127-1 on May 12th, 20 , chosen due to their 
extensive knowledge of criminalistics, along with Agent 
Keller's fluency in the German language. The Agents 
were tasked with attempting to fulfill the implied purpose 
of SCP-2127, finding the murderer of the bodies within 
SCP-2127-1. (Documents on previous, unsuccessful 
missions can be seen upon written request.) 


00:00 - Expected jazz music begins immediately. Agents 
head toward the barn, where four of the six bodies are 
known to be located. 


01:14 - Areas in which the bodies are located have all 
been reached, with no pieces of evidence found. It is 
noted that the farm animals have been fed, and coals are 
observed still burning in the fireplace. 


01:40 - On the way back to the farmhouse after briefly 
exploring the field directly north of the farmstead, where 
the Agents believed they saw movement, Agent Keller 
trips on a shard of cast iron embedded in the ground, 
uncovering a set of footprints described as “charred into” 
the frozen ground, presumably hidden by a fresh 
snowfall the night before. Agent Jackson reports that the 
jazz music that was playing constantly in the background 
grew noticeably quieter when this occurred. 


01:53 - It is discovered that the footprints, which appear 


to be those of bare feet instead of the expected boot 
prints, originate from the basement window of the 
farmhouse. Agents enter through the front door, making 
their way to the basement entrance. 


02:02 - After much struggle, the Agents are able to open 
the door to the basement. The lock of the door, thought 
to be the source of the struggle, is easily broken; it is 
discovered that a mattock was used to prop the door 
shut. The wooden shaft was snapped under the pressure 
of the Agents’ efforts to open the door. 


02:16 - After thoroughly searching the basement of the 
home, which contained a cot that “smelled like someone 
used it as their john for a good week”, the Agents left the 
home to head into the woods. 


05:29 - Just short of 5 and a half hours into the expected 
24, Agent Jackson appeared back at the shrine, in the 
clothing he was wearing beforehand as expected. On his 
person was a sheet of paper, the same proportions as 
SCP-2127, reading “You did it, detective! Thank you for 
playing 'Who Dunnit?: Hinterkai-fun! Edition”. After 
discovering that the Agent was unconscious, supervising 
researchers immediately transported the agent to a 
nearby hospital, where he was admitted under the guise 
of a construction accident and treated for internal 
bleeding and three broken ribs. 


Note from Dr. , overseer of SCP-2127 exploration: The 
events of the roughly 3 hours between when Agent Keller and Agent 
Jackson left the basement of SCP-2127-1 and when Agent Jackson 
returned to the shrine are unclear, as Agent Jackson’s report of the 
events from that point on have varied greatly. The means by which 
the Agents entered the forest has been reported by Agent Jackson 
as “We walked into”, “We were pulled into”, and “He had been 
seeing us having been called into” on different occasions. The latter 
of the three reports was deciphered from Agent Jackson’s mostly 
unintelligible rambling directly after the incident. Due to the intensive 
therapy that Agent Jackson needed to undergo to extract the 
information currently available, interviews are suspended until 


further notice. It can be reasonably assumed, however, that Agent 
Jackson discovered the perpetrator of the murders, as SCP-2127 
did not reappear after this exploration. 


+ Addendum 2127-A - Level 3 Access Required 


On June ist, 20 , approximately two weeks after the 
final test on SCP-2127, two VHS tapes were delivered to 
Dr. Marten’s Foundation mailbox. The means by which 
the tapes arrived there is unknown. Each tape bears the 
text “Hinterkai-fun custom VHS set - Reissue of the 
classic nor [sic] film!!!” handwritten in black felt-tip 
marker. Research is currently ongoing into if other copies 
of the tapes exist, and evidence of such tapes is to be 
immediately reported to Dr. Marten, or any personnel of 
level 4 clearance or higher. 


The contents of the tapes are footage of Agent Keller 
and Agent Jackson while within SCP-2127-1. Although 
Agent Jackson didn’t report any cameras present within 
SCP-2127-1, there are many shots where the camera 
would have been visible to both agents. The first VHS 
tape shows the series of events from when the agents 
materialized within SCP-2127-1 until their breaking down 
of the basement door in the farmhouse, at which point 
the screen fades to black, and “THE END” is shown. 


The second of the two tapes is marked “bonus footage” 
on the spine, also in black felt-tip marker. Although the 
footage on the second VHS tape is of noticeably worse 
quality than the first, with audio and video cutting out 
sporadically, it appears to show the agents leaving the 
home, as well as portions of the events after they enter 
the forest. 


Approximately 20 minutes into the tape, a section of 
footage occurs which shows Agent Keller being caught in 
a primitive rope trap while the agents are making their 
way through a section of dense underbrush. After 
attempting to free Agent Keller for approximately one 
minute, Agent Jackson retreats to the farmhouse, locking 


himself in the maid's bedchamber. It can be deduced that 
the agent is being pursued, as he frequently makes 
backward glances as he is approaching the home. The 
sound of scraping metal can also be heard while Agent 
Jackson is within the maid's bedchamber, presumably 
emanating from outside the door. Shortly after the agent 
realizes that he is without his pen and notebook, with 
footage showing that they were dropped in the forest, 
audio and visuals cut out for five minutes and six 
seconds. 


When audio and video are restored, Agent Jackson is 
seen jumping frantically at an unconscious Agent Keller. 
What appear to be severe burns are present on the face 
and forearms of Agent Jackson; the reason for these 
burns not being present at time of return is unknown. 
Keller's notebook is seen falling out of his suit pocket, 
and Agent Jackson absconds with it. Approximately 15 
seconds after Jackson exits the shot to the left, an 
unknown entity, temporarily deemed SCP-2127-2, enters 
to the right, apparently in pursuit of the agent. 


Although the poor quality of recording and rate of 
movement of the subject make it difficult to make out 
characteristics, SCP-2127-2 appears to be holding half 
of the mattock used to block the door of the farmhouse 
basement. Approximately ten seconds after SCP-2127-2 
exits the frame, the video cuts out, with 20 minutes and 
17 seconds of tape left on the supply reel. During 
playback of this "blank" section, distressed vocalizations 
can be heard intermittently. It is not known whether these 
vocalizations are those of Agent Jackson, SCP-2127-2, 
or some unknown third party. 


Research into evidence of SCP-2127-2 within a 2- 
kilometer radius of the shrine where SCP-2127 was 
formerly situated is currently underway. If any evidence 
is found of SCP-2127-2 either having been there or 
currently residing there, the information contained in this 
addendum is to be immediately made open to all 


The Foundation became aware of SCP-241 in April 20 , 
while investigating reports of a “black widow’ in er 
named . Mrs. had been married four 
times, and all four of her husbands had died shortly after 
eating a meal at home. However, since authorities never 
found evidence of foul play, Mrs. was never 
charged with any crime. Subsequent interviews with Mrs. 
by Foundation personnel revealed the existence of 
SCP-241, at which time SCP-241 was seized by 
Foundation agents. Mrs. revealed that she had 
first realized there was something unusual with SCP-241 
when [DATA EXPUNGED]. See document [DATA 
EXPUNGED] for transcripts of interviews with Mrs.

Display Initial Testing Log 


All tests on SCP-241 were carried out in Test Kitchens at 
Site-19, using D-class personnel for test subjects, unless 
otherwise indicated. 


Test 241-01, / /20 


Subject: Subject 241-A was chosen from 
general population. No unusual traits selected 
for. 


Procedure: Subject 241-A was presented 
SCP-241 while closed and instructed to open 
it, choose a recipe, prepare it, and eat it, while 
giving feedback during the entire process. 


Results: Before exposure to SCP-241, subject 
declared that he had “never cooked anything 
more complicated than Ramen noodles.” 
Subject opened SCP-241, reporting nothing 
unusual. Subject looked through recipes in 
SCP-241, choosing Sautéed Scallops ina 


clearance levels and upgrade to Euclid class is to be 
considered. Due to information made available by the 
VHS tapes, Agent Keller's status is to be changed from 
MIA to KIA. Researchers wishing to gain access to the 
VHS tapes are required to acquire written permission 
from two personnel of Level 04 Clearance or higher. 
Research of the tapes by Dr. Marten is ongoing in an 
attempt to discover in more detail the properties of 
SCP-2127-1.

SCP-2128: The Liars' Cradle 


Item #: SCP-2128 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Site-403 has been constructed 
around and inside the building that houses SCP-2128. 


At least three D-class personnel! are to be present daily onsite for 
Experimental Protocol 37-Sparafucile, which is to be carried out as 
needed. The list of statements to be used in EP 37-Sparafucile will 
be provided by the O5 Council and may be amended during 
experimentation at the Site Director's discretion. 


EP 37-Sparafucile 


1. One D-class employee, referred to as the 
"messenger," will be laid inside SCP-2128. 


2. The messenger will repeat statements as instructed 
from the prepared list. 


3. After each statement, if the messenger remains 
unharmed, the statement is to be marked as "true." 


4. As soon as the messenger is incinerated, a new 
messenger is to be provided. The statement that 
triggered the incineration is to be marked as "false." 


5. Anew messenger will be assigned. Repeat as 
needed. 


Description: SCP-2128 is a vaulted stone furnace in the ruins of a 
castle, 23km from . The two openings are 1m high, and the 
length is 3m. Documentation discovered onsite (a sheepskin scroll 
known as the "Ignis Manuscript") revealed that SCP-2128 was 
created by agents of the Brazen Heart? in the late ninth century CE 


as a torture’ and execution device, named "The Liars' Cradle." 


When a human subject fully enters SCP-2128 and makes a true 
statement, nothing will happen. If the spoken statement should be a 
lie, the human subject will be completely incinerated by unknown 
means. 


Upon discovery, SCP-2128's two openings were covered in brick 
and mortar. The Ignis manuscript indicates that SCP-2128 was 
walled up in 1021 CE and its use was discontinued. This was due to 
a flaw in the method of lie detection: SCP-2128 considers all 
factually untrue statements to be lies, regardless of the subject's 
intention or prior knowledge. 


SCP-2128 has displayed knowledge on a true/false basis of highly 
classified and previously unknown information. While the true scope 
of SCP-2128's knowledge (and reliability thereof) is unknown, 
proactive usage of EP 37-Sparafucile has prevented XK-class end- 
of-the-world scenarios on four separate occasions.
