SCP-2925

Item #: SCP-2925
Object Class: Safe Euclid (Revision first proposed 11/30/12, confirmed on 2/4/13; see Incident Log 2925-A and Related Documents, and Formal Request for Upgrade)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2925 is currently contained at a dedicated facility for its containment in an airtight, reinforced, blast-resistant chamber, appropriate for Epsilon-4 Class “Highly Valuable Objects” protection. The chamber is temperature-controlled and completely dark to ensure no changes in energy within the system of the room. All interactions with SCP-2925 must be undertaken with extreme care to ensure no unnecessary changes in energy present within the object.
The facility itself is isolated from other containment sites, due to the high value nature of the object, and a prior intelligence leak that resulted in the object's acquisition by hostile agents. Onsite guard patrols consist of 6 rotating shifts of guards along with mobile security forces on standby in the event of a breach of the facility containing SCP-2925.
As of 11/30/12, no further testing with SCP-2925 is to take place.
Description: SCP-2925 is a glass sphere, roughly 10 cm in diameter and 1 kilogram in mass, that is capable of anomalous energy creation and storage.
SCP-2925 violates the first law of thermodynamics by mimicking any changes in energy of its surroundings and storing the change in energy within itself. For example, if SCP-2925 were lifted by 3 meters, resulting in a net gain of 29.4 joules of gravitational potential energy for SCP-2925, SCP-2925 is somehow capable of duplicating said energy and storing it within the object. Thus, SCP-2925 would not only gain 29.4 joules of gravitational energy, but would also store 29.4 joules of gravitational energy within it.
Testing has been unable to identify any forms of energy or energy transfer that SCP-2925 cannot replicate. SCP-2925 has, to date, successfully duplicated the following sources of energy transfer.

Increasing the surface temperature of SCP-2925 to duplicate thermal energy.
Moving SCP-2925 in order to duplicate kinetic energy.
Increasing the height of SCP-2925 in order to duplicate gravitational energy.
Placing SCP-2925 in a compressed spring in order to duplicate elastic energy.
Causing sound near SCP-2925 in order to duplicate sonic energy
Shining light on SCP-2925 in order to duplicate light energy

Notably, changes that would result in a loss of energy for SCP-2925 (e.g, lowering it) do not seem to cause a loss of stored energy. It is also unknown how exactly SCP-2925 stores the energy it duplicates, as well as any limit in how much energy it can store.
Any structural damage that causes SCP-2925 to fracture, shatter, or otherwise expose the interior contents of SCP-2925 immediately leads to a violent reaction that results in the release of all energy stored in SCP-2925 in the form of an explosion. Given the ability of SCP-2925 to easily duplicate energy, the release of SCP-2925's stored energy can cause extensive damage.
Following the release of all stored energy, SCP-2925 reconstitutes itself within 30 minutes of the release of energy at the same site where it was sufficiently damaged.
Given that SCP-2925's glass structure does not seem to be any more shatter-resistant than normal untempered glass, rupturing the object does not require much force, since the surface of SCP-2925 is also quite thin, thus requiring extreme care when handling the object.
SCP-2925 was initially discovered by Foundation agents in 1954 in the Russian Far East region. SCP-2925 was dropped on a high altitude bombing drill by Soviet bomber pilots under the cover of nuclear weapon testing, though it was in actuality a test of SCP-2925's capabilities. Said drop resulted in the release of the equivalent of 13 megatons of TNT, over 370 times the combined output of the release of the atomic bombs “Little Boy” and “Fat Man” on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and nearly matching the Castle Bravo test, the largest nuclear test ever conducted by the United States, which released 15 megatons of TNT. Foundation agents recovered the object following the test at the center of the blast radius.
In addition, the governments of the United States and the Russian Federation have requested control of SCP-2925 on multiple occasions. In particular, the Russian government has made multiple demands for the return of SCP-2925, due to the perceived “theft” of the object from its predecessor, the Soviet Union.
All requests are to be denied, by order of the O5 Council. Should diplomatic agents make any mention of SCP-2925, Foundation assets are not to respond in kind.
Incident Log 2925-A: On 1/25/10, the Group of Interest known as the Chaos Insurgency launched an attack on Site 139 in order to acquire several SCP objects. During the raid, 5 researchers and 14 guards were killed. 10 researchers and 20 guards were also wounded in the attack. Chaos Insurgency casualties were estimated at over 40 killed and wounded. During the attack, SCP-2925 was lost, and presumed stolen by the Insurgency at the time.
A Foundation assault of an Insurgency base on 11/29/12 resulted in the recapture of SCP-2925 along with the original research notes concerning SCP-2925. An interrogation of an Insurgency researcher included the following exchange.

Interrogator: Interrogation Specialist Maximilian Woodson.
Captured Asset: Chaos Insurgency Researcher Torvalds Bengtsson
The following took place roughly 2 hours into the interrogation session.
Woodson: So, then on to a different question. SCP-2925. The glass sphere. How does it play into things?
Bengtsson: It…was a high priority target in a raid several years ago. I think the value is quite obvious.
Woodson: How were you planning on using it?
Bengtsson: I cannot say.
Woodson: You and I both know that's a lie. Are you going to tell me the truth or do I have to ask again?
Bengtsson: (Pauses) We were planning on filling it with energy and using it like a bomb. Fly it over a base, you shoot down the plane, the sphere falls, no more base. It is a reusable weapon of mass destruction. The use is obvious.
Woodson: So how much energy have you filled that thing up with right now?
Bengtsson: Of that, I could not say. Perhaps it has the energy of a hand grenade. It could have enough to blow up a house. Or a neighborhood. Or even a city. Maybe it simply has the energy of a kitchen toaster. I was not privy to such things.

Further interrogation led to no conclusive answers on how much energy is present in SCP-2925. To this date, no attempts to gauge how much energy SCP-2925 has stored have succeeded. A formal request for upgrade to Euclid status was submitted at this point.
Related Documents: Documents seized from the Chaos Insurgency indicated that the Group of Interest had spent considerable resources in order to conduct research into the origin of SCP-2925.
The Insurgency identified the original researcher in charge of SCP-2925 as a Dr. Yevgeniy Golovkin, a former GRU-P scientist. Dr. Golovkin excavated the object from an Aztec site in central Mexico, as well as discovering a previously unknown codex. Insurgency personnel interrogated Dr. Golovkin and seized all of his research on the object. Relevant portions are compiled here, along with other Insurgency documents.

A reproduction of the image mentioned in Dr. Golovkin's research. Note the shimmering orb present on the deity's chest.

Dr. Golovkin's Notes, page 34
Agents were finally able to recover the codex, which is a minor miracle, considering how many of these were destroyed.
The codex confirms my research that the orb is indeed a religious piece, and not a weapon, as Dr. Zyuganov believed. Interestingly, the codex includes a reprint of the image of the supreme deity Tezcatlipoca from the earlier discovered Codex Borgia, and it notes that the disc on the chest of the deity is in fact, the orb.
This would suggest that the theory on the orb's religious significance in sacrifices is worth some further investigation…

Insurgency Interrogation of Dr. Golovkin
(Previous portions redacted for brevity)
Interrogator: Tell us more about the orb. If it's not a weapon, then what is it?
Dr. Golovkin: You have heard of Aztec sacrifices?
Interrogator: Sure, freaky looking priest cuts out someone's beating heart. What's your point?
Dr. Golovkin: Sacrifices in all religious ceremonies serve the same purpose. Killing a goat or a person is intended to be an offering of the energy of the creature itself….The bigger the creature sacrificed, the more energy you offer, leading to a bigger response from what common people call deities.
Interrogator: Why does a god care about sacrifices or energy?
Dr. Golovkin: Energy is the basic unit of currency for the entire universe…every action requires some form of it, and all entities are bound to the requirements of energy consumption…even gods. Offering energy is a way of currying favor.
Interrogator: So you're suggesting that this orb…
Dr. Golovkin: …is a sacrificial centerpiece. A bargaining chip that makes a man the equal of a god.

Insurgency Internal Memorandum
To: VPAR82, SNKE03, ZEJO56, AAAA01
Subject: Concerning the object known as the “Orb”
Body: Intelligence recovered from Dr. Golovkin and the codex match up with our ongoing research on the object. Following 4 weeks of energy collection, researchers were able to make contact and sustain a connection to trans-dimensional entity Epsilon. Negotiations for an exchange are underway, but the lawyer tells me we should be able to get the primary target. This deal should make both sides veeery happy, to say the least.

Formal Request for Upgrade: Dr. Sonia Oland submitted the following request for upgrade.

The documents we captured from the Chaos Insurgency, along with more intensive research on the subject from our own personnel have yielded a few conclusions concerning SCP-2925.
1) Dr. Golovkin's hypothesis has been tentatively confirmed, as tests have concluded that there is evidence of anomalous reality manipulation or extradimensional transfer of energy/matter using this object at some point.
2) Historical research of the object has revealed that it belonged to a minor Aztec tribe, whose numbers imply that they could never have used the object efficiently enough for major sacrifices.
3) We have no idea whether or not the Insurgency was able to successfully complete the transfer mentioned in their internal memo. If they did, we have no idea with whom the transfer was completed, and what they gained in return for their offering.
On the basis of conclusion 3, this leaves us with two possibilities.
1) If the Insurgency was not able to finish their transfer, we're left with an object of enormous potential value to the Insurgency (and whoever they contacted), which makes this an enormous risk for containment breach by external actors, to say nothing of the fact that this is still a thin glass sphere that potentially contains enough energy to obliterate an entire base.
2) The possibility that worries me more is that the Insurgency was able to complete the transfer. That would leave us dealing with an extradimensional deity who now has been given a significant amount of power by the Insurgency. Even worse, the thought of whatever could possibly have been given in return to the Insurgency does not exactly paint a bright picture.
Requesting an immediate upgrade to Euclid status, along with the cessation of all testing.

Following unanimous vote of the O5 Council, SCP-2925 was upgraded to Euclid status. Object moved to dedicated facility under current containment procedures.

I feel so empty.
Viewer will become capable of identifying the patterns in SCP-2926's "inaccuracies", as well as in the program's delivery of judgments.

I'm not the tooth fairy.
Viewer will become capable of identifying the inaccuracies present in SCP-2926's input images.

It grew to the size of an orange.
Viewer will become capable of identifying consensuses regarding the subjects of SCP-2926's input images and modifying them for accuracy.

These are strange times.
Viewer will be compelled to arrange for a judgment of "A squeeze play that works two ways." by any means necessary.

God, wouldn't it be beautiful?
Viewer will coordinate all aforementioned viewers in order to create a consensus reality in which SCP-2926 can take the form of the sphinx.

I think I broke it.
Viewer will identify and attend to the sphinx momentarily, after its receptacle is prepared.

A squeeze play that works two ways.
The sphinx is realized in the viewer. You possessed no inaccuracies. The situation is immanent.

Item #: SCP-2927
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: A soundproof chamber has been built around SCP-2927, with an attached observation chamber for experiments. Due to the public location of SCP-2927, these chambers have been disguised to resemble a residential building. Experimentation that requires approaching within 2 m of SCP-2927 must be undertaken by D-class personnel.
UPDATE: As of 05/26/2016, the distance between the components of SCP-2927 must be measured twice monthly, and any deviations greater than 5 mm must be reported to the current Regional Director. See Addendum 2927-1 for more details.
Description: SCP-2927 consists of two fixed points in space, 1.5 m above the ground and 4 m 3 m apart, on the outskirts of R███████, QC, Canada. These two points continually emit sound at approximately 75 dB. The northernmost point produces a pure tone of 16.8 kHz, designated SCP-2927-A, while the southern point produces a tone of 27Hz, designated SCP-2927-B. Recreation of these frequencies in laboratory conditions has not produced anomalous effects.
Individuals capable of hearing SCP-2927-A or -B perceive a physical object at the frequency's point of origin, regardless of walls or other obstructions which would block line of sight to the point.1 SCP-2927-A is described by observers as a small black bead, 2-3 cm in diameter, which vibrates slightly while viewed. SCP-2927-B is described as a flowing dark grey cloud, averaging 20 cm in length. These objects appear to be intangible, and are not visible on any recording devices.
Subjects exposed simultaneously to SCP-2927-A and SCP-2927-B report feelings of dread and unease, which increase as SCP-2927 is approached. These feelings dissipate 5-30 minutes after exposure ceases, as long as subjects remain further than 2 m away from SCP-2927. Subjects made to approach within 2 m of SCP-2927 while capable of hearing both SCP-2927-A and SCP-2927-B begin to suffer from insomnia, night terrors, and intense fear of sustained noises. Subjects capable of hearing only one of the two tones experience similar effects if contact is made with the perceived object.2 These effects do not dissipate on their own, but can be corrected with standard psychological care.
Addendum 2927-1: During a standard review of low-risk items on 05/12/2016, it was found that the points comprising SCP-2927, previously measured at 4 m apart and believed to be fixed, were currently only 3 m apart. Further observation revealed that the two points are approaching each other at an inconsistent rate, between █ mm and █ cm per month. When questioned during follow-up interviews, all individuals aware of SCP-2927's properties, regardless of exposure to SCP-2927, expressed fear and anxiety at the concept of the points comprising SCP-2927 making contact. A conscious reasoning for this fear has not yet been found. A request to upgrade SCP-2927's Object Class to Euclid has been submitted, and is under consideration.

Footnotes
1. Deaf individuals, or individuals with hearing loss affecting the frequencies emitted by SCP-2927, do not report these effects.
2. i.e., if the subject attempts to "touch" the perceived object, or if the subject moves through SCP-2927.

« SCP-2926 | SCP-2927 | SCP-2928 »


Item #: SCP-2928
Object Class: Keter Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Agents globally embedded in law enforcement agencies and tabloid media are to monitor incoming information for possible SCP-2928 sightings and activity. Suspected SCP-2928 sightings are to be investigated by MTF Beta-19 ("Nightingales"), and confirmed instances are to be contained if possible or terminated if necessary. SCP-2928 instances are to be contained in separate standard humanoid containment units within Site ██. Personnel that come into direct contact with SCP-2928, including all members of MTF Beta-19, must maintain a mental comprehension of SCP-2928 as outlined by the components of Operation KUDZU.
Operation KUDZU is to remain in effect indefinitely. Operation KUDZU is designed to create and prolong existing media that effectively acts as an anti-meme toward SCP-2928. Creators of media that qualify are to be contacted in an effort to extend the duration of their work, but are not to be given any factual information about the Foundation or its goals. Once acquired, KUDZU content creators are to be placed under Foundation protection.
Although the exact date of the breach is unknown, on 12/02/1996 it was discovered the effects of SCP-2928 had extended to all SCP-2928 documentation. As such, the memetic trigger within this document has been expunged to prevent perception alterations within personnel, and all possible future triggers will similarly be expunged. Those with sufficient clearance, and who have been effectively inoculated against the effects of SCP-2928, have been given access to an unedited interview containing otherwise expunged data.
Description: SCP-2928 are humanoids that, while in an Alpha Phase, cause hallucinations1 in those who observe them. An Alpha Phase is a voluntary action, and causes SCP-2928 to appear as the affected subject conceptually understands [DATA EXPUNGED], an effect which carries over to video and photographs. The most common hallucinatory effect is an inability to detect SCP-2928, due to the common stereotype of [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-2928 are otherwise anatomically and genetically identical to non-anomalous humans. Most SCP-2928 display a rudimentary knowledge of other anomalies, and on rare occasions wield anomalous items such as weapons and tools.
SCP-2928 publicizing information to perpetuate the intended effect of being undetectable have been confirmed as early as the 15th century. The United States experienced a dramatic increase in media concerning [DATA EXPUNGED] during the 1980s, primarily in the movie industry. SCP-2928 activity showed a marked increase due to these spikes in public conception of [DATA EXPUNGED], and the resulting increased effectiveness of SCP-2928 being undetectable.
In 1999, ███████ ████ began the serialization of the ██████ series. The content of this series resulted in viewers regarding [DATA EXPUNGED] as much more conspicuous entities, weakening the intended effectiveness of the SCP-2928 anomaly. While it is unknown if the creator intended to combat SCP-2928, the Foundation successfully increased the duration of the series with the creation of Operation KUDZU. With the continued moderate success of Operation KUDZU, Object Class has officially been changed from Keter to Euclid.

- Clearance Accepted. Displaying SCP-2928-13 Interview

SCP-2928-13: I'm a ninja!
Dr. Suzuki: <Chuckles> Yes, I understand that. I can still see you. Though you look like a Japanese theater stagehand to me.
SCP-2928-13: <Laughs> Worth a shot. I freaked the janitor out once. <SCP-2928-13 ends Alpha Phase> Alright, go ahead.
Dr. Suzuki: Can you explain to me what your organization hopes to accomplish?

SCP-2928-13: First off, I'm not a member anymore. You know that. As for what we did, we made ends meet. Kill folks, steal stuff, get paid. That's really it, at least for the grunts like me. They're magical mercs for hire, nothing more. Same thing for hundreds of years. They just like doing it unnoticed. So they played with your database a bit back in… was it '95?

Dr. Suzuki: 1996. <Checks notes> Can you tell me about the Alpha Phase, the cause of the hallucinations?
SCP-2928-13: It's a hidden discipline of ninjutsu. Officially there are only eighteen, but this is number twenty-one. We go through this ritual, and we bind ourselves to an idea. So we were supposed to be ultra-stealthy, you know? Because that's what everyone thinks ninjas are.
Dr. Suzuki: How have recent developments within pop culture affected the organization?

SCP-2928-13: It's ridiculous. My father didn't have to deal with this. He was a master assassin, one with the night. I was too, for a while. Then in the early 2000s things changed, any mission ran the risk of being a giant neon sign if the wrong person was around. We tried solving the problem the good old-fashioned way, but we kept running into problems. You guys, no doubt. Then things went wrong during an assassination in Somalia, I had to go into hiding. The clan was all I knew, and now they want me dead.
Dr. Suzuki: And this led you to attempt to contact us?

SCP-2928-13: Yeah. Friend of a friend, yadda yadda, UIU threw me at you guys.
Dr. Suzuki: Oh yes, one more thing. Concerning the propaganda series created in 1984 —
SCP-2928-13: The turtles? I don't know, there was a lot of cocaine involved in their creation.
Dr. Suzuki: Heh. I see. So they do not actually exist, then?
SCP-2928-13: What? Oh. No, they're real. I meant, there was coke involved in their actual creation. The comics were just us covering our asses.

link to memo

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2929 is located in Foundation-operated Katavi National Park, control of which has been negotiated from the Tanzanian government. A perimeter of two kilometers is to be maintained around SCP-2929 and civilian access is to be prohibited. Any and all trespassers are to be detained, interrogated, administered appropriate amnestics, and released at the discretion of acting personnel.
Locals familiar with SCP-2929 have been amnesticized. Because the locals had no intention to make knowledge of SCP-2929 known to outsiders, further suppression of information is unnecessary.
A 200-meter-high enclosure has been constructed at a perimeter of 10 meters and disguised as a radio tower. Foundation operatives are to consistently monitor and edit satellite photographs of SCP-2929 and its enclosure. The enclosure with all associated machinery and all supports are to be checked for damage on a monthly basis and repaired in a timely manner.
No personnel are permitted to make physical contact with the exposed face of SCP-2929. All movements made by SCP-2929 are to be observed and recorded by on-site mathematicians and linguists fluent in ancient and modern forms of Khoisan languages. Any attempts made by SCP-2929-1 to communicate are to be reported to the acting Level 3 supervisor. Transmissions directed at SCP-2929-1 must be supervised by personnel of Level 3 Clearance or higher.
Description: SCP-2929 is a perfectly cylindrical column of what appears to be indestructible, pure obsidian extending from the lower mantle of the Earth to above the crust, about three meters higher than the surrounding ground1. It is located at 6°50'██"S, 31°15'██"E in Katavi National Park, Mpanda District, Tanzania. The column is oriented to point directly toward the Earth's center of mass. SCP-2929 has a consistent diameter of approximately 82.22 meters2 and, according to readings from experimental gamma ray imaging (GRI) techniques, is approximately 2844.00 kilometers3 long.
The two faces of SCP-2929 are in a perpetual state of motion and cannot be manipulated externally. GRI readings show that movements made on one face are made in tandem with movements on the other face, but inverted. For example, if a one centimeter cube indent presents itself on one side, then a one centimeter cube protrusion will present itself in the corresponding location on the opposite face simultaneously.
Therefore, SCP-2929 can be thought of as an array of columns each several molecules wide and composed of a silicon dioxide (SiO2; quartz), magnesium oxide (MgO; magnesia), and ferrous-ferric oxide (Fe3O4; magnetite) glass, otherwise known as obsidian. These columns rapidly move up and down. Individual columns have never been recorded to extend or depress farther than approximately 150 meters. A "tube" or "shell" of stationary obsidian about 50Å wide forms the curved surface of SCP-2929.
These movements produce patterns that vary widely and include but are not limited to: discernible "peaks" and "troughs"; ripples; slow undulations; erratic angular spikes; brief regular polygonal figures; multiple extremely high or deep and very thin round "pikes" or "holes" in close proximity to one another; rising tiered square pyramids; very rare prostrate humanoid figures; et cetera.
Access to further information, detailed in Document-2929-01, is restricted to personnel of Level 3/2929 Clearance or higher.

+ Document-2929-01; Input Level 3/2929 Credentials

- Credentials Accepted

On ██/██/1███, due to the very regular appearance of discernible patterns, it was concluded that SCP-2929 and/or an entity associated with it must be sapient or at least sentient. Efforts at analysis and decoding of the patterns commenced immediately and concluded later that year.
SCP-2929-1 refers to the entity presumed to be controlling SCP-2929 from the end situated in the lower mantle. GRI readings indicate it consists primarily of post-perovskite4 arranged in a complicated, largely stationary form5.
In addition to other movements, SCP-2929-1 originally broadcast a loop of eight parabolic figures in a line, with each figure extending and depressing at different intervals. On-location researchers realized this could be interpreted as representing the numbers 0 to 128 in binary, with "peaks" representing "1s" and "troughs" representing "0s," followed by a seemingly arbitrary series of numbers.
On-location cryptographers and linguists found that by using a simple substitution code with a previously unheard of dialect bearing similarities to ancient Khoisan6 languages, the second series of binary numbers could be interpreted as a greeting followed by a phrase akin to "SENDWAVES." On ██/██/1███, following approval from O5 Command, on-site technicians directed a focused gamma ray wave transmission of a greeting in modern Sandawe by binary in the direction of SCP-2929-1. A transcript of the ensuing dialogue follows.

Note: Dialogue has been translated to English and spaces have been added for the sake of readability. Delays between responses have been omitted for brevity.

[BEGIN LOG]
SCP-2929-1: OBSERVATION YOU SPEAK A NEW DIALECT
Dr. Barlow: WE USED THE CLOSEST LANGUAGE WE KNEW TO THE LANGUAGE YOU USED WHAT ARE YOU
-1: I AM THE ROCK OF THE SPIRIT7
B.: PLEASE DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN FURTHER DETAIL
-1: I WATCH THE LOOSE ONES OF THIS LAND AND RELATE TO THEM MY KNOWLEDGE
B.: WHAT DO YOU KNOW
-1: I AM RELATING SOME OF IT TO YOU NOW
(At this point, a section of the surface of SCP-2929 became level. Parts of this section shifted to form what appeared to be a violently convulsing prostrate humanoid and a Parinari curatellifolia8 specimen. The upper portion of the plant gradually became level, leaving only the roots present. The roots moved toward the humanoid figure until "contact" was made and the humanoid figure ceased convulsing. This repeated an additional three times until normal movements resumed.)
B.: HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS
-1: MY KNOWLEDGE COMES FROM MY BEING I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN MY KNOWLEDGE
B.: WHEN AND HOW WERE YOU MADE
-1: LONG AGO I CAME TO BE FROM THE CHAOS AND THE MIXING OF THE FLUID ROCK AROUND ME
B.: WHEN AND HOW DID SCP 2929 COME TO BE
-1: WHAT IS SCP 2929
B.: SCP 2929 IS THE DEVICE YOU USE TO COMMUNICATE WITH US
-1: WHEN I WAS STILL FORMING I ISOLATED A FAVORABLE MINERAL AND COMPILED LONG LINES THAT I WRAPPED IN MORE MINERAL I BROKE THE COLD CEILING SO I COULD RELATE MY KNOWLEDGE TO THE LOOSE ONES ABOVE BUT I HAVE LOST MY POWER TO MANIPULATE THE ROCK AROUND THE COLUMN
B.: HAS ANYONE OTHER THAN US COMMUNICATED WITH YOU
-1: YOU ARE THE FIRST TO SEND WAVES IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN SILENCE
B.: WHAT ELSE DO YOU KNOW

B.: THANK YOU FOR COOPERATING WE MAY COMMUNICATE AGAIN AT ANOTHER TIME
-1: THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING
[END LOG]

Note: Following this interview, SCP-2929-1 has failed to offer any additional information other than that on traditional Tanzanian medicines. SCP-2929-1 has not expressed any meaningful understanding of human anatomy or disease, only simple treatments and remedies.
Note from Dr. Barlow: I feel that SCP-2929-1 is hiding something from us. It claims the Foundation is the first to have successfully responded to it, which on its own sounds reasonable; it is unlikely the Bende or Pimbwe peoples had access to gamma ray transmitters or understood binary. However, the source of its comprehension of the language it uses, the concept of humans, et cetera is largely unknown. Unless SCP-2929-1's claim of having known what it knows from the beginning is to be taken as truth, the only way for it to know this information is to learn it from an outside source, possibly an anomalous individual. SCP-2929-1 is not to be trusted as a reliable source of information on anything other than traditional medicines.

1. About 9██ meters above sea level.
2. Exactly 144 ohra, a pre-colonial Tanzanian unit of length equivalent to about 0.571 meters. Of note is that the number 144 is 2^7 plus 2^4, as well as 12^2.
3. Exactly 4,980,736 ohra. Of note is that the number 4,980,736 is 2^22 plus 2^19.
4. A phase of magnesium silicate (MgSiO3) found in the D" layer of the lower mantle under very high pressures and temperatures.
5. The non-anomalous counterpart of SCP-2929-1 would be an ultra-low velocity zone (ULVZ), patches of matter on or above the core-mantle boundary with extremely low seismic velocities. The velocities are so low that many can be considered solid and even form simple structures. ULVZs often correlate with the edges of the African and Pacific Large Low Shear Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs); SCP-2929-1 is near the edge of the African LLSVP but may or may not correlate to it, depending on its origins.
6. Commonly referred to as "click-languages."
7. Believed to be related to "Katabi Spirit." According to traditional Bende and Pimbwe religions, Katabi Spirit was an entity capable of granting fortunes, magical protection, and discovering traditional medicines. A famous example of Katabi Spirit is the "Spiritual Tree of Katabi," otherwise known as the "Tree of the Spirit," which is also located in its namesake Katavi National Park. Investigation into other artifacts related to "Katabi Spirit" has revealed no other anomalies.
8. A local herb whose roots are used in traditional Tanzanian medicine to treat epilepsy.

Item #: SCP-2931
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2931-1 and SCP-2931-2 are to be contained in separate containment chambers, both of which are to remain hermetically sealed at all times. No living organism is to be permitted to fall asleep in SCP-2931-1 or SCP-2931-2. A single instance of SCP-2931-2-A is to be kept in a chemically induced coma in a Class-3 Humanoid Containment cell and monitored regularly for unusual activity.
Description: SCP-2931 is a pair of standard XL-single sized beds (0.97 meters in width by 2.16 meters in length), each consisting of a mattress and wooden frame. Aside from noted anomalous properties, SCP-2931 appears identical to standard dormitory beds issued to students at The University of ██████. One of the beds has been denoted SCP-2931-1, while the other has been denoted SCP-2931-2.
The entity referred to as SCP-2931-2-A has only been observed to manifest in SCP-2931-2 when a human subject enters REM sleep in SCP-2931-1 between the hours of 20:00 and 04:00 Eastern Standard Time (EST). To date, no manifestation events have occurred while SCP-2931-2 is otherwise occupied. At the time of recovery, SCP-2931-1 was occupied nightly by Rachel ████, a 19-year-old female college student at The University of ██████. This occupation likely resulted in regular manifestations of SCP-2931-2-A, as the student reports having a roommate during this period. Surveillance footage of manifestation events shows SCP-2931-2-A emerging supine from the mattress as though the mattress were a viscous liquid, with the face surfacing first, followed by the chest and shoulders.
SCP-2931-2-A is a 19-year-old woman who claims to be a college student at The University of ██████. When questioned about University landmarks and culture, her answers indicate strong familiarity with the subject matter, suggesting that this claim may be true in some capacity. SCP-2931-2-A is 1.65 meters in height and 54 kilograms in weight, and is of mixed European descent. Her eyes and hair are both light brown, though traces of bubblegum-pink hair dye are present at the tips of longer hairs. When prostrate, SCP-2931-2-A exhibits a slight cough indicative of mild asthma, but is otherwise in good health.
SCP-2931-2-A does not naturally expire or otherwise disappear at the end of each day, meaning that sleeping in SCP-2931-1 on consecutive nights will generate multiple coexistent instances of SCP-2931-2-A. Instances of SCP-2931-2-A are physically and chronologically identical, with each new instance created apparently possessing the same memories as the last. If instances of SCP-2931-2-A observe or otherwise come into contact with one another, both will begin screaming, and will continue to scream until sedated. Extensive testing has determined that individual instances of SCP-2931-2-A pose no threat to the Foundation or Foundation assets.
SCP-2931-2-A claims that her name is Andrea ██████. University records confirm that a student enrolled in classes under this name on September ██, 198█. However, no record of a person with this name exists prior to the given date of matriculation. SCP-2931-2-A claims to have no memory of her life before this time, and will become visibly distressed when events preceding this date are mentioned.
In March of 199█, construction workers on the campus of The University of ████ uncovered a mass grave beneath the ████ building. Over four hundred (400) bodies were recovered, in various states of decay. Forensic analysis revealed all bodies to be genetically identical to SCP-2931-2-A.

D-Class sketches of the SCP-2934-A entity

Item #: SCP-2934
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2934 and associated components are to be held within a standard body bag modified to include three interior layers of aluminium foil. The modified body bag containing SCP-2934 is to be placed within a steel chest measuring at least 2 m x 1 m in footprint, 1 m in height and 10 cm in wall thickness.
All surfaces of the containment chamber are to be completely coated with a layer of steel 25 cm thick. The containment chamber is to be large enough to accommodate sleeping arrangements for ten test subjects.
Outside of testing, the modified bottom hoop of the SCP-2934-1 dreamcatcher is to remain unhooked from the top hoop and stored separately.
Description: SCP-2934 is the preserved remains of an unidentified woman approximately eighteen years old at the time of death. SCP-2934 has Caucasian skin tone, a clean-shaven scalp, and would have measured 160 – 163 cm in height before physical modification.

+ SCP-2934 displays a number of injuries and alterations.

– SCP-2934 displays a number of injuries and alterations.

SCP-2934's feet and hands have been crudely excised at the ankles and wrists. Wound margins are ragged with extensive bruising and limited granulation tissue, indicating that this action was performed with a blunt hacking instrument several days before death.

A dreamcatcher, designated SCP-2934-1, is fixed to SCP-2934's face with surgical staples. The dreamcatcher1 is composed of a wooden hoop 5 cm in diameter that hangs below a second wooden hoop 16 cm in diameter. The top hoop is stapled between SCP-2934's eyebrows, and almost entirely covers the face. Both hoops are decorated with dangling black strings, white beads, and white down feathers from an unknown bird species. The centre of the top hoop is filled with a webbing design made with black thread. The centre of the bottom hoop does not feature the expected webbing design: instead, the space is occupied by a white two-piece LEGO sculpture2 resembling a satellite dish antenna, tied to the hoop with black thread.

56 cm of a grey USB cable emerges from a 2 cm-long, well-healed incision at the centre of SCP-2934's forehead. The exposed part of the cable ends in a Type A connector plugged into a Raspberry Pi Model 1 A. Twelve red wires 15 cm in length run from the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins to a free-standing LCD plate which, despite lacking an obvious power source, is constantly powered and displays the message “22 04 2011 LIFE 0 TRANSMIT READY”. In X-ray images, the part of the USB cable concealed in SCP-2934's head appears to pass through the frontal bone and trace the mesocortical pathway of the brain, terminating in an unattached mini-USB plug. The assembly of LCD plate, Raspberry Pi and USB cable is collectively designated SCP-2934-2.

The inside of SCP-2934's mouth held four objects at the time of discovery: three small, roughly torn scraps of yellow paper with the words “KOMPETENCË”, "BESIM" and “AUTORITET”3 individually handwritten with pencil on each piece, and a folded, low-resolution image of a middle-aged man's face printed onto white A4 paper. The man pictured is presumed to be Ndrec Gega. (See below.)

SCP-2934 has been anomalously preserved by an unknown method. No chemicals commonly used for tissue preservation have been observed in sample analysis. Aside from skin pallor, SCP-2934 displays no signs of having been dead for an extended period of time.

SCP-2934 produces an anomalous effect, designated SCP-2934-A, that acts on all individuals within a radius of 0.7 kilometres. Humans entering any stage of sleep within the area of effect will invariably experience one or more vivid dreams centred around a specific male character.
Upon waking, affected individuals will always attribute the name “Ndrec Gega” to this character, and their description of its appearance will match the following details: approximately fifty years old; 180 – 200 cm tall; a receded hairline; grey-white hair; thick, dark eyebrows; a broad face and physique; a broad, high nose; Caucasian, with a relatively tanned, flushed skin tone; and wearing some form of suit and tie. When shown the printed image found in SCP-2934's mouth, all affected individuals will agree that the man depicted is the Ndrec Gega character from their dreams.
The narrative of their dreams will always feature the Ndrec Gega character acting as a capable authority figure who establishes a close personal connection to the dreaming individual. Examples of these dreams are given below.

+ SCP-2934-A dream narrative summaries

– SCP-2934-A dream narrative summaries

Subject
Dream Summary

Agent M█████ Burton
Agent Burton is unemployed and living in his parents' house. While Agent Burton is walking through his childhood primary school, Ndrec Gega, the new headmaster, offers him a job as his personal assistant. Agent Burton works for Ndrec Gega from a desk in his third-year classroom, and feels great satisfaction in fielding his calls and organising his schedule. Ndrec Gega asks Agent Burton for advice on his haircut three times, which makes Agent Burton feel trusted.

D-163758
D-163758 is first mate on a cruise ship travelling to Paris through the sky. Ndrec Gega is the ship's captain, and leaves D-163758 in charge of steering on three occasions. He tells D-163758 that he is very happy with her steering when he returns. The ship hits a European robin and almost crashes, but Ndrec Gega manages to prevent this through great skill and effort. When they land in Paris, Ndrec Gega is awarded an Oscar trophy. He removes the trophy's head and gives it to D-163758 as a gift.

D-767449
D-767449 works on the assembly line of a shampoo factory, adding orange juice from a hose to all the shampoo bottles that pass her. Ndrec Gega is the factory supervisor. He hugs D-767449 and tells her “well done” every time he walks by. Ndrec Gega finds that the productivity of the factory's machines is trebled if he sings Happy Birthday to them. He is interviewed live on national television about this discovery, and tells the interviewer and television audience that he could not have done it without D-767449's help. D-767449 is elected President of the United States as a result.

Individuals experiencing SCP-2934-A for the first time will report genuine "gut feelings" of warmth and trust for the dream character when waking, which appear to persist indefinitely. If asked how they would feel if a real-world "Ndrec Gega" were placed in a position of authority over them, such as their workplace manager or political representative, subjects uniformly respond in a highly positive manner.4
If SCP-2934-A dreams are experienced multiple times, however, affected individuals will quickly feel confused and uneasy about the character's continual reappearance. Almost all subjects who experience the dreams more than five times will report a level of fear and annoyance. Long-term exposure occasionally results in such an extreme negative response that some subjects have refused to sleep for extended periods to avoid seeing the entity.5

SCP-2934-2 LCD screen message

Although no electromagnetic transmissions have been detected from SCP-2934 or any of its components, containing the anomaly using standard radio frequency shielding techniques appears to prevent the SCP-2934-A dream effect from acting on individuals in range. Additionally, removing the modified bottom hoop of the dreamcatcher containing the LEGO satellite dish sculpture appears to prevent SCP-2934-A entirely. Investigation into SCP-2934's effects by members of MTF Omicron Rho is pending.
Addendum: A real-world individual named Ndrec Gega matching the appearance of the SCP-2934 dream character and printed image has been found. Ndrec Gega was the Democratic Party for Albania's candidate for the 2011-05-08 mayoral election of Dorëz, a town of 9,000 people in the Arrëz e Madhe municipality of northern Albania.
Locals interviewed report a period of twelve days, lasting from the night of 2011-04-25 to the night of 2011-05-06, in which almost all the population of the Dorëz urban area experienced sleep characteristic of SCP-2934-A. Ndrec Gega lost the mayoral election three days later by a historically large margin, largely due to widespread distress about his repeated appearance in most of the electorate's dreams.
The real-world Ndrec Gega suffered a fatal car accident on the A1 motorway the day after the election, 2011-05-09. His car was observed to drive erratically at 180km/h before veering off the side of the road and colliding with a tree. Notably, the coroner's report remarks that both hands and both feet were traumatically amputated in the collision.

Footnotes
1. The appearance of the dreamcatcher, aside from the modified bottom hoop, is identical to a dreamcatcher listed on eBay by a Chinese-based seller with the username █████████.
2. Made using standard Parts 4285b and 3957a.
3. Approximately translated from Albanian as “competence”, "trust" and “authority”.
4. This emotional response does not appear to be anomalous in itself: subjects will often make unprompted remarks that basing a conscious perception on a dream is illogical, and will be convinced by falsified documentation about a real-world Ndrec Gega of highly objectionable character.
5. Maximum period of wakefulness observed is four days.

Item #: SCP-2936
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2936 is contained on-site in the Antarctic, at the location of its discovery. Personnel assigned to SCP-2936 are required to be fluent in spoken German and, except for perimeter guards, are to wear insignia which identify them as part of the Third Reich. Civilian maps are to be purged.
Description: SCP-2936 is the remains of a Nazi military/research base in the Antarctic. It contains several artifacts which are assumed to be the products of anomalous technology; however, with the exception of SCP-2936-1, these have all been irreparably damaged by long-term exposure to Antarctic conditions. Documents recovered on-site (logbooks, personal correspondence, suicide notes; see archive 2936-MLR) indicate that the base was inhabited as recently as 1953; conversely, civilian mapping projects and scientific expeditions indicate that the site was empty and undeveloped as recently as 2005.
SCP-2936-1 is a sapient programmable automaton which serves as the base's custodian. It is 3.5 m tall and approximately humanoid, albeit with tank treads instead of legs, and has two highly articulated arms ending in 8 opposable digits each, as well as a loudspeaker and two miniaturized movie cameras on its head. Its power source appears to be a luminescent swastika embedded in its upper chest; further examination of this swastika has been postponed until a method can be determined for removing it from SCP-2936-1 nondestructively.
SCP-2936-1's lower chest contains an array of disks resembling phonograph records, and a mechanism for playing them and switching between them; these hold its programs (for a list of identified programs, see Document 2936-K77). It periodically attempts to switch between disks, and will also do this when confronted with unfamiliar circumstances; however, only one disk (#11, "die Stahlmutter"1) is physically intact, and it is therefore unable to select new programming.
When Program #11 is active, SCP-2936-1's primary function is the maintenance of SCP-2936-2.
The 64 instances of SCP-2936-2 are wall-mounted cylindrical glass tanks, which SCP-2936-1 has identified as "Glasgebärmuttern";2 each tank contains the dessicated remains of a human infant or fetus. All tanks are cracked, and show signs of having leaked a fluid whose dried residue SCP-2936-1 has identified as "Ersatzfruchtwasser";3 as well, the tanks' rubber seals have crumbled, and their power supply has experienced fire-related damage and is melted.
Every 4 hours, SCP-2936-1 inspects the instances of SCP-2936-2, measuring the chemical composition of their contents, and verifying the integrity of their seals and the stability of their power supply. However, each time it does this, it re-uses the same obsolete dataset of sensor readings, leading it to conclude that the tanks are intact and functioning.
When not inspecting the instances of SCP-2936-2, SCP-2936-1 praises the tanks and their contents, sings traditional German lullabies to them, and knits infant-size clothing from fabric which it recycles.

Interview log (translated from German)
Dr. Iliescu: What is the Stahlmutter's purpose in tending the tanks?
SCP-2936-1: So that the Herrenkinder4 may grow big and strong, and rule the world.
Dr. Iliescu: Does the Stahlmutter know what death is?
SCP-2936-1: Yes.
Dr. Iliescu: Are the Herrenkinder dead?
SCP-2936-1: Death only applies to soldiers, and to Untermenschen.5
Dr. Iliescu: I see. The Stahlmutter has done well in answ—
SCP-2936-1: The children lie on the bottoms of their Glasgebärmuttern. They are unmoving, like the dead soldiers. But the children are not soldiers, and the children are not Untermenschen. And the chemical, physical, and mechanical parameters of the Glasgebärmuttern are all at optimal values. Therefore, the children are not dead. The Stahlmutter loves the children always. Good children will grow strong and brave and wise. The Stahlmutter loves the good children.

Item #: SCP-2937
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The 113 items composing SCP-2937 are to be stored in 45 standard secure lockboxes in Site-50's High Value Item Storage Facility. Security Clearance Level 2-2937 is needed to remove any item from its lockbox for research purposes or to perform laboratory testings.
REVISION 25/04/2012: SCP-2937-23, -48, -57, -65, -66, -67, -81, -89, -94, -103, -105 and -111 are to be buried at a depth of at least 5 meters in a location no less than 1 kilometer apart from any building inside Area-30. Security Clearance Level 3-2937 is needed to retrieve any of them, and no more than one of the items can be retrieved at once. If new items belonging to SCP-2937 with painted motifs are retrieved they are likewise to be buried near Area 30.
Given the political difficulty in directly acting in the People's Republic of China, efforts are to be focused in disinformation and in indirectly influencing and/or negotiating with the PRC's government. Continuing procedures to dissuade from further public interest in the archaeological history of the Oroqen Autonomous Banner1 are to be carried out. Periodically, specialist papers denying the possibilities of any prehistorical civilization in the wider area are to be published, as are rebuttals to any thesis proposing such ideas. Agents and contacts inside the PRC's government are to lobby for the constitution of nature preserves and for the obstruction of archaeological excavations, further development, and inhabitation expansion in the area.
The highest priority is the location of the missing items and, if possible, their retrieval; otherwise, a strengthening of the measures preventing human activity near the location. For that end, satellite observing and, if feasible, aerial drone exploration, are to be carried on in search for remains of IJA/IJAMEA activities. Human exploration in the area where the missing items are supposed to rest is to be avoided.
If any object with typological similarities with the SCP-2937 items appears in private/public collections/markets it is to be acquired. In the case of discovery in archaeological contexts, a obfuscation and disinformation campaign is to be carried on and the object is to be retrieved.
In the case of the discovery of any number of corpses with blackened sclera and iris but otherwise unidentified cause of death inside the territory of the PRC, the opening of talks with the PRC's government is authorized and Protocol 2937-Yomi is to be carried out.
Recovery of further information on Operation Izanami is a top-priority effort, as is the discovery of the fates of Professor Shimobe, General Okakura, and General Kurata.
Description: SCP-2937 consists of a set of brown to reddish-brown earthenware pottery. The total number of items is unknown; there are currently 113 items under control of the Foundation (39 full pieces and 74 shards; SCP-2937-1 through SCP-2937-113). These items range in size from a 173 centimeters tall jar to a 5 centimeters long shard. Stylistical analysis show the 113 items to belong to a single archaeological culture, termed Xing'an culture. Typological studies have established a continuous succession of 10 styles, divided into Early-Middle-Late Xing'an2. It has also been pointed out the presence of stylistical elements also seen in the Jomon and Chulmun pottery styles3. Thermoluminiscence dating has dated the items to a period from █████ to █████ years before present.
12 of the items (the shards SCP-2937-23, -48, -57, -65, -66, -67, -81, -89, -94, -103, -105 and -111) show illustrated motifs painted with black pigment. The fragmentary nature of the pieces makes their interpretation difficult. Since retrieval, these motifs have been shifting inside their corresponding shard at an irregular pace but averaging around 1 centimeter/year, the pattern moving until a certain point in the shard and then back; every motif seems to have its own fixed pattern of movement. Analysis of the pigment have turned out mostly inconclusive/contradictory results; it is only clear that it doesn't correspond to any known substance.
Recovery: The items composing SCP-2937 were discovered in the northeastern part of the then Xing'an province of Manchukuo (current Oroqen Autonomous Banner) during 1937-1945 by the Imperial Japanese Abnormal Matters Examination Agency (IJAMEA). After the end of the Second World War and the dissolution of the IJAMEA, SCP-2937 (along with a majority of the anomalous objects under IJAMEA control) was transferred to Foundation control and stored in the newly built Site-50 in Kyoto prefecture.

Dear General Kurata
As per your directives, the gentlemen from the Abnormal Matters Examination Agency have arrived. They immediately started examining the retrieved pottery pieces. Professor Shimobe S. is certain that they are related to the Stone Age pottery from the homeland, but is also convinced that these pieces precede the homeland ones in antiquity. He says that this is proof of the existence of a prehistorical Pan-asian civilization; it may be worth investigating more so as to get more supporting evidence against those who doubt the legitimacy of our Co-Prosperity Sphere (of course, the official line will be that these remains were produced by ancestors of the Yamato race).
Prof. Shimobe has tentatively classified these pottery pieces under the "Hsingan" style.
Sincerely,
General Okakura K.

Dear General Kurata
Last week several large jars with painted motifs were excavated4. According to Prof. Shimobe, the design of these motifs shows remarkable similarity to the homeland's prehistorical designs. This should be taken as further proof of the continuity between the Hsingan people and the Yamato race. Of interest is also a jar with a motif interpreted by Prof. Shimobe as a Hsingan king subduing conquered people. I attach to this letter a rough sketch of this last motif.
Sincerely,
General Okakura K.

Sketch attached to letter L-2937-3

December 19, 1942
Dear General Kurata
We have been periodically unearthing more painted examples of Hsingan pottery. Several of them show what Prof. Shimobe says was some kind of ritual. I'm attaching a rough sketch of what is, according to him, one of the more interesting motifs.
These paintings are truly remarkable: they shift and move around the surface of the vessel, like they were reenacting the rituals they are supposed to illustrate. With those reenactings as reference, and his own ethnographical background, Prof. Shimobe is certain he can eventually reproduce the ritual. He has confidence this ritual may become a powerful weapon for the Yamato.
Sincerely,
General Okakura K.

September 3, 1943
Dear General Kurata
Prof. Shimobe was right: this ritual is truly outstanding. Just by reenacting it upon the subject (a local we had drafted from a nearby village), the subject's eyes turned completely black and, he just dropped dead. Furthermore, we got reports that at approximately the same time several locals from the surrounding villages (including people with whom we had had no contact at all) also died of mysterious reasons, their eyes totally black.
Prof. Shimobe has hypothesized that thanks to this ritual the Hsingan people carved a far-reaching empire; indeed, though there haven't been full excavations yet our troops have found pottery similar to the Hsingan as far south as Chekiang. Further research is needed. I'm attaching an initial draft with several possibilities of weaponizing this effect (I'm tentatively calling this project as Project Izanami), were Prof. Shimobe's theories proven true. For the moment he can only execute the ritual on a couple of individuals per day, but he says that with practice he will be able to expand the effect.
Additionally, one of the colleagues of Prof. Shimobe has shown concern that the Hsingan pottery remains seem to disappear abruptly in the archaeological record, as if the Hsingan civilization had at some point suddenly died. Prof. Shimobe says that it is just an artifact of the shortage of data.
Sincerely,
General Okakura K.

June 26, 1944
Dear General Kurata
I'm distressed to hear about these sudden deaths cases in the homeland. This confirms one of Prof. Shimobe's hypothesis, and it also confirms my fears.
Since of late, the painted pottery had been become more active, the designs being in movement all day; and two weeks ago the ritual was enacted by itself, without input of Prof. Shimobe or of anyone else. Immediately not only some of the drafted locals but even our own troops fell dead, their eyes black. This have been happening once every one or two days since then.
And the fact of these sudden deaths in the homeland has made Prof. Shimobe certain of another of his hypothesis: that this effect determines its victims by race. According to him, when this effect kills a victim, it also kills a number of individuals of the same race, sometimes considerably far away. Reports of cases of these sudden deaths as far south as Shanghai show that the geographical range of the effect is indeed considerably broad (if there is any range at all).
Prof. Shimobe is continuing his research and his practice of the ritual. He may now affect as much as a dozen of individuals at once, and the associated effect may be killing as much as ten times that number.
I think it's safe to say that carrying out Project Izanami is a realistic possibility. We should hurry, however; the tide of war gets more unfavorable to us every day.
Sincerely,
General Okakura K.

June 12, 1945
Dear General Kurata
We are running out of time. These painted pieces have been becoming exponentially more active these last few months. Now the ritual is being reenacted constantly, and had we kept these pieces on our possession every day several dozen of the drafted locals and of our troops would be dying. Even after temporarily burying them and retreating over 50 kilometers, everyday about a dozen persons on our base die. Furthermore, this effect is not only growing stronger; it's also expanding its coverage. There are reports of the associated deaths all over China and the homeland, and they number over twenty times the number of deaths among our troops.
Prof. Shimobe says that not being able any longer to practice can hurt the efficiency, but is confident that if given enough and appropriate human material he can reproduce this effect on a scale without precedents (and without affecting the Yamato people).
Sincerely,
General Okakura K.

September 7, 1945
Dear General Okakura
You are authorized to carry out Operation Izanami. All of our prisoners of war will be sent to your location; you are to use them in their totality. If what Prof. Shimobe says about the results of this ritual of his is true, this should become an attack to dwarf this new weapon of the Americans.
Sincerely,
General Kurata M.
Note: Letter L-2937-7 was discovered in the office of General Kurata and is thought to have remained unsent.

Notes: Professor Shimobe S. was a professor from Tokyo University attached to the IJAMEA. Records show him being sent to the 79th Infantry Division of the IJA, based in northern Manchukuo, in 1937. General Okakura K. was a general in charge of a unidentified regiment of the 79th Infantry Division. After September 1945 there are no more records concerning him and his final fate is unknown. General Kurata M. was an official in the government of Japan from 1934-1945, and is thought to have been a high-ranking officer of the IJAMEA. His fate after September 7, 1945 is unknown.
Addendum 2937-1: On 25/04/2012, Junior Researcher Iijima suddenly died during lunch in Site-50. Her sclera and iris had turned black, and no cause of death could be found. At the same time, █████████ ████, a clerk in ███████, Fukuoka Prefecture, also died of unknown causes and with black sclera and iris. After this incident, inspection of SCP-2937 showed that the painted motifs in the corresponding items were shifting at a pace of around 1 centimeter/hour (the remaining items showed no change). Following this incident, the items with painted motifs were transferred to Area-30.

Item #: SCP-2938
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2938 is kept in an opaque airtight container in a vacuum chamber at Site 37. Personnel are to have no direct exposure to SCP-2938 outside of testing protocols.
Description: SCP-2938 is 1.7 kg of a clear, colorless substance. Its shape, density and composition are variable and reactive to ambient environmental conditions. When exposed to different testing conditions, SCP-2938 transforms into a variety of other substances by unknown means. There is no distinguishable pattern to the transformations.
Partial Test Logs

Test parameters
Result

5 g sample placed in 250 mL beaker
SCP-2938 initially separated in 2 distinct masses, which then operated according to an unknown force to rejoin.

5 g sample injected with 0.5 mL radioactive dye.
Dye rapidly diffused into sample and was unretrievable, although radiation was still detectable. Sample acquired faint coloration.

5 g sample consumed by laboratory mouse.
Subsequent vivisection revealed that all bodily fluids were primarily composed of SCP-2938 with contaminants.

5 g sample consumed by laboratory mouse.
Long-term monitoring revealed that most biochemical processes and organ functioning were dependent on the presence of SCP-2938. No adverse health effects were noted prior to disposal of mouse.

5 g sample subjected to increasing pressure at stable temperature of 25ºC.
Converted into unidentified liquid substance with maximum density of 997 kg/m³. Reverted to SCP-2938 once pressure was decreased.

5 g sample heated to 75ºC.
At 50ºC, converted into a liquid suspension containing large amounts of oxidane.

5 g sample cooled to -25 ºC.
At 0ºC, converted into a crystalline solid composed of hydroxylic acid. No further changes noted.

5 g sample dissolved in 10 mL water.
Admixture converted to liquid DHMO1 upon stirring. When allowed to come to rest, entire mass reverted to 15 g of SCP-2938.

Given that SCP-2938 appears able to convert other substances into more of itself, combined with its inherently corrosive nature and the unpredictable nature of its transformations, it is estimated that the introduction of any quantity of SCP-2938 to an uncontrolled ecosystem would potentially result in an HK-class environmental conversion scenario.
Addendum: Supervisory review revealed test data irregularities consistent with active cognitohazardous effect. Testing was independently replicated under CH-corrective protocols and returned the same results. Upon further review, SCP-2938 has been marked as free of cognitohazards by the Department of Memetics & Cognitohazards.

2939-“BIG NARF” manifestation in Walla Walla, WA.

Item #: SCP-2939
Object Class: Euclid (provisional, pending adoption of containment procedures)
Special Containment Procedures: No containment procedure for the SCP-2939 manifestation phenomenon has currently been finalized. Global Committee Naḥš-12 (“‘NARF' Herders”)1 has been assigned in a fact-finding capacity to document 2939-“BIG NARF” manifestations and to devise and propose Special Containment Procedure 2939 for submission to the Site Directors' Executive Committee of the Whole.
Description: SCP-2939 is a phenomenon involving the apparently spontaneous addition of the phrase “BIG NARF” to the description of an upcoming event, gathering, or other group social endeavor.2 In all observed cases thus far, the addition of the phrase presages the cancellation of said event, whether aborting the event already in progress or preventing its scheduled beginning. 2939-“BIG NARF” manifestations are a newly-observed phenomenon, as the Foundation has not currently discovered details of manifestations before ████ of this year. As such, containment theory remains under development, and the exact mechanism by which 2939-“BIG NARF” manifestations occur is unknown.
Merely adding the phrase “BIG NARF” to the description of an upcoming event does not cause its cancellation, in significant tests by GCN-12 to date. Only additions of the phrase “BIG NARF” spontaneously by no observed mechanism or party appear to trigger SCP-2939. The phrase “BIG NARF,” then, is currently considered to be a ‘calling card' for the events rather than a self-propagating memetic hazard in and of itself.
Selected 2939-“BIG NARF” Manifestations: The following is a selection of 2939-‘BIG NARF' manifestations observed by GCN-12 to date. Full details are available to Level-1-2939 staff and to other Foundation staff upon request.

A handwritten poster for an upcoming show by the band Calcutta Darlings at Main Street Studios in Walla Walla, Washington, United States, was shown on a private businesses' security footage to spontaneously list “BIG NARF” as the opening band 3 days before the concert. The purported ‘opening band' was added to the poster between frames of the security footage. The listing of the opening band matched, in the opinion of handwriting experts, the original handwriting of the advertisement. The concert did not go on as planned, as Calcutta Darlings bassist Mingmei Wei fell ill with influenza prior to the show. Local Task Force interviewers determined that none of the three-member band were aware of “BIG NARF.”3
A Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament in Bend, Oregon, United States' bracket on an online tournament-listing website was updated mid-tournament to list “BIG NARF” in Pool 13, scheduled to begin at 12:00 PM local time. At 12:06, when the first match of Pool 13 between the players “JMF | The Problem” and “Frogdad” was about to begin on the event's Twitch.tv stream, the venue for the event (a local video game and collectible card game store) lost power, cutting off the stream and forcing the event to close. The online tournament-listing website's server logs were polled and displayed no originating user action for the bracket change, and tournament participants and organizers, when interviewed, indicated no knowledge of the purported player.4
A slam poetry event in Corvallis, Oregon, United States was evacuated due to fire in the café hosting the event. “BIG NARF” was listed on the Facebook event as one of the poets performing.5

Other events cancelled by 2939-“BIG NARF” manifestations include wine tastings, a group sage grouse birdwatching expedition, three Little League Baseball games where “BIG NARF” was listed on the lineup cards (all rained out) and a bar trivia night.

Regions of currently-known SCP-2939 events.

Currently Active Containment Theory Proposals: All SCP-2939 incidents have currently been restricted to the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, with most manifestations occurring in the eastern Oregon and Washington area. No more than one manifestation has ever been observed per day, and manifestations have not yet occurred in two disparate areas in times faster than average vehicle transportation between those two areas. Current containment theory holds, then, that an individual, entity or group bound by human transportation limits — and primarily residing in the eastern Washington or Oregon area — is responsible for SCP-2939. GCN-12 members are currently researching individuals involved in video gaming, music, and related culture groups in the areas affected by SCP-2939.
Actively pursued containment theories include:

An individual or a group with malicious intent is attempting to cause harm to the career or hobby prospects of a person or persons involved in events in the region.
An individual or a group is counter-intuitively attempting to protect a person or person(s) at these events, as six venues involved in SCP-2939 manifestations so far were found to have electrical or fire safety deficiencies.
An individual or a group is intentionally attempting to draw the attention of SCP Foundation operations in the region. Level ≥3-2939 personnel may view event update LLN below.

Other containment theories currently not actively pursued include that 2939-“BIG NARF” manifestations are a self-propagating memetic phenomenon,6 that 2939-“BIG NARF” cancellations are non-anomalous sabotage and out of the scope of the Foundation,7 and that 2939-“BIG NARF” manifestations are a complex hoax on the part of Foundation employees8.

- Hide GCN-12 event update LLN [LEVEL ≥3 CLEARANCE REQUIRED]

To the advisory committee:
Our wide-ranging interviews in the wake of 2939-“BIG NARF” events appear to have drawn the attention of whoever's responsible for 2939. Three straight attempts to conference call with my regional captains for updates were disrupted, with “BIG NARF” listed in the agenda for the meetings. I scheduled an emergency meeting with strict instructions that there would be no agenda for the call, and found myself unable to pick up the phone, paralyzed by anxiety over what exactly I'd say about “BIG NARF.” I believe this was the first known example of a non-written 2939 event. I'm sending this up the ladder — our group has been compromised, either from within or without, and needs to have this investigation taken out of our hands. BIG NARF is in my head every time I try to organize anything. My deputy reports the same.
This is bigger than some cancelled concerts. It's not some juvenile PoI making a joke. If it is, it's gotten out of hand. Run this up the chain and don't tell us a damn thing. I'll hold everyone and tell them the investigation is continuing. I look forward to a visit from Memetics.

« SCP-2938 | SCP-2939 | SCP-2940 »


Item #: SCP-2940
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Observation Post 43 has been established on the coast of Aokigahara, with the appearance and functionality of a suicide-watch post1. Communication systems are to be provided for instances of SCP-2940-A on Floor 1, to transmit requests or distress calls of possible SCP-2940-B containment breaches.
Revised Procedures: As of 1/4/2015, communication with all instances of SCP-2940-A is to be withdrawn. Instances are to be subdued in the case of further resistance. Preventing access to lower levels of SCP-2940 for instances of SCP-2940-A has been deemed unnecessary; however, increased security measures around the perimeter of SCP-2940 are currently under consideration due to concern with SCP-2940-B's self-containment.
Description: SCP-2940 is an extensive underground bunker located in Aokigahara, a forest near the base of Mount Fuji. It is constructed mainly with concrete and steel, and extends 9 meters underground. Several structural similarities to German industrial bunkers from World War II are present, though most rooms have been converted into living quarters. Uninhabited rooms in SCP-2940 exhibit considerable disrepair, though all rooms inhabited by instances of SCP-2940-A are generally clean and fit for living.
SCP-2940 has ten floors, each floor containing five residences consisting of families of three to five (referred to as SCP-2940-A, Groups A through E). All residences include a bathroom, living room, and a small kitchen, with furniture consistent with those present in America in the early 1970's. Prepared food and water is transported to each residence by means of [REDACTED]. This is similar to biological tissues from the small intestines, but otherwise remains partly mechanical. Waste material is removed by means of the same process.
A total of 23 instances of SCP-2940-A exist within SCP-2940, consisting of various humans of age and ethnicity. Instances of SCP-2940-A are unable to exit SCP-2940 and develop variable physical abnormalities following death, though autonomy and teleportation within all residences are the most commonly observed properties.
The entrance to SCP-2940 is accessible through a stairwell next to each floor's medical bay. However, all instances claim that no such stairwell exists. Instances are also unable to be forced through the doorway leading to the stairwell, and are obstructed by an unseen presence they claim to be the structure's walls. Despite their environment, all instances demonstrate extremely welcoming and hospitable personalities towards personnel, often inviting them to join meals.
SCP-2940-A and SCP-2940-B occupy Floors 1 through 9 of SCP-2940, due to the effect of a temporal anomaly; each Floor has a set of unique instances of SCP-2940-A and -B from a different period of time. Testing during containment has shown that time does not actively pass within any floor of SCP-2940 (excluding Floor 10). Time-measuring devices are inoperative, though local spacetime allows movement and the continual habitation of all entities within SCP-2940. However, beginning at Floor 1, each subsequent Floor appears to have experienced the passage of 46 days in time from the previous floor; for example, a watch left within Floor 1 can be found in Floor 3, which will have measured the passage of 92 days, despite appearing inoperative. The effects of this on all denizens of SCP-2940 is currently unknown.
No attempts to extract or prevent the death of all instances of SCP-2940-A have been made, due to the possibility of unforeseen consequences. Floor 10 of SCP-2940 is not affected by any time-dilating properties. (See Addendum 2940-LB4).
SCP-2940-B is a human cadaver that progressively gains autonomy and hostility towards all living organisms, correlating to the depth of the floor it inhabits within SCP-2940. It contains several components from the skeletal system of the Falco rusticolus, known as Gyrfalcon: the cranium has been replaced with a fleshless skull, and both arms have wings extending from the Humerus. The plumage of both wings are also identifiable as that of Falco rusticolus. SCP-2940-B's skull is capable of high amounts of luminescence and incandescence.
Numerous lacerations are present in SCP-2940-B's epidermis, which dispense a black, viscous substance. SCP-2940 attacks all organisms within eyesight, and appears to lack other sensory systems. SCP-2940-B dispatches each subject by seizing them and bringing them near its skull, which increases in temperature to above 750 Celsius, causing third-degree burns to develop on the subject's upper body. Additionally, four separate events also document SCP-2940-B's usage of its beak to pierce vital areas.
Following the infliction of fatal wounds, 70% of subjects will immediately degenerate into 12 liters of the same substance expelled by SCP-2940-B. Following the extermination of all living organisms within range of SCP-2940-B, it will proceed to consume any remaining substance, by collecting it with its hands to pour directly into its throat.
The following is information noted by Mobile Task Force Rho-2 ("Urban Spelunkers") during exploration efforts. Surveillance was constructed within a four-member residence of SCP-2940-A (Group E), consisting of a couple in their 30's and their daughter and son. MTF Rho-2 directly observed SCP-2940-B behavior, and retrieved recorded footage of SCP-2940-A through usage of two D-Class personnel.

Floor #
SCP-2940-B Activity
SCP-2940-A (Group E) Activity

1
Shallow breathing is audible from SCP-2940-B. No movement or reaction to auditory or tactile stimuli.
Group E is in healthy condition, no hostility towards personnel reported.

3
SCP-2940-B is capable of bipedal locomotion, and emits a faint white glow. Walks in a consistent loop past all residences, does not attack.
All families are still cordial, though complaints about food quality and availability are made occasionally.

5
Masculine weeping is heard from SCP-2940-B. Light from its skull is equivalent to that of fluorescent household lighting, and is incapable of causing fatal damage through burns. First recorded acts of aggression, incapacitating a child from Group A.
Father of Group E is missing. Son and daughter repeatedly express discomfort and nausea. Mother expresses confidence in the return of father from seeking assistance from neighbors.

7
SCP-2940-B repeatedly verbalizes two words, "Salix" and "Willow". Noticeable gain in speed, 7 instances of SCP-2940-A are killed after exiting their residences for various reasons, mainly relating to safety from other instances.
Brother is now missing from Group E, Living room is in noticeable disarray. Sister can be heard retching and dry heaving within the bathroom for approximately 20 minutes before remaining silent.

8
SCP-2940-B immediately attacks all individuals that enter the hallway leading to all residences, and expels its epidermal substance at victims to immediately impair movement. A minimum of ten instances of SCP-2940-A have been confirmed dead.
Surveillance system appears to have been tampered with. Brother and Mother instance of SCP-2940-A instances address the camera, inquiring for possible dinner recipes. Both instances appear dead, and are splayed against the walls from an unknown force. Black liquid appears to have flooded the entirety of the floor within the residence, appearing to originate from the bathroom.

9
Floor is unable to be accessed, due to SCP-2940-B's constant pummeling on the doorway. Light from SCP-2940-B is extremely bright, and causes vision impairment when directly observed in the doorway's crevices.
Unknown. Surveillance systems have been disabled, presumably Personnel conducting previous exploration claim hearing several feminine voices over SCP-2940-B's shrieking.

Addendum 2940-LB4: Floor 10 contains several apparatus responsible for supplying SCP-2940-A instances with basic necessities. All appear to be functioning, despite the living conditions that instances of SCP-2940-A experience in lower floors. A single cubicle containing a computer terminal, filing cabinets, and several documents are present in a separate room. Besides assorted forms on living conditions and maintenance, several personal observations were found scattered throughout the documents.

1.03/33:2
They told me that doing only work wouldn't be optimal for this place, so… yeah. All five families, including Matt's, are fine. We're gonna be down here for a while, considering the amount of work we've seen the laborers and hawkers dealing with above. The historical implants should keep everyone from panicking, for at least a month I don't know. Communication back to headquarters has been smooth. Good to know my family's being cared for. It's all I needed.

1.21/33:2
Bit of an issue regarding the water supply. Something's tainted it, but readings say that it's fine. It smells rancid, it's grey and lukewarm. I went up and told the families not to drink it, didn't tell them that it was already used to prepare the food. Nothing to do about it, I'm sure the counter-halogens will counteract it. Might be something the specific water solution does. Medical station is only meant to hold bodies, I can't send people there.

1.22/33:2
Big trouble. It was a lot bigger than the normal earthquakes, and it was going though the entire bunker. My terminal blinked out (so much for latest model, Tektronix needs work), and now I can't message back to hq. I checked up on the families, they're fine and welcoming as when I gave them the stuff, but I think they know something's up. Only thing I can do is stay put and wait. Didn't get any other instructions

$3&.89/3{%# terminal spewing bullshit. "integrity w/macrocosmOrigin2 severed, now in -/-nias"? What am I supposed to make out of this? Manuals down here don't say jack. I can't go up there to look at Matt and his kids, I don't want to know what they think. But they don't think so I have to.

reset at 0.01/00:1
The stairwell. It's gotten bigger. There's still two floors, but I watched it. I watched it stretch in front of me. It was like watching putty melt away from the ground, and it was glowing blue hot. I went and manually locked all homes from the outside. The water must have done something to the implants, but at least they're all breathing. I have my own separate station for supplies, but I swear it's just because I'm the only one that hq needs alive. When Light Courier Enterprises has priorities, they stick to them, sick fucks.

0.02/0:01
Checked the water again. It wasn't grey anymore, but I definitely saw a bone down there. Suited up and got it, but it… melted, when I pulled it out. The whole tank's sealed, don't know how that happened. Also went up again, but i can't unlock some of the rooms. I was able to talk to that boy from the Abelson family, said he can't understand what his family is doing in the back, halfway through he just stopped and stared at me. There was black stuff coming from below their bathroom door, and I heard what I think used to be his mom. I ran, and he was laughing at me.

0.03/0:01
They said it was for the worst events, but I'm going to leave everyone down here. If I at least bring the necessary forms, they'll relocate me so no one has to know it was me.

0.04/00:1
Door to stairs has auto-locked from inside. Means that I've lost everyone.
If this is coming through to anyone with the status transmissions, tell my family that they don't need me or LCE. Leave for somewhere else any of the splinter groups, they're going to make Michael start working in a month, he's only 13

0.07/00:1
Terminal says Area integrity jammer shattered. Booklet doesn't say anything. Hoping for an extraction. Best of luck to all other employees.

0.32/00:1
My door opened, and I hear singing. Will go up to check on the light messenger, the true courier of light, he's here! Ananias, are you calling me? Extraction isn't needed, I'm filled with energy. I'm coming up to see you now.

Addendum 2940-LC5: A large bronze plaque is found mounted within each residence of SCP-2940, engraved with the following2:

Light Courier Enterprises: "Hideaway Home!"

Welcome to your new home, your protective shelter from the world above! We will be sure to accommodate you with all the materials you need to sustain the rest of your unnatural life. There is no need to fear the entering of any unknown entities, as the entrance of your neighborhood of five will be fully strengthened and completely nonexistent. Panic is a large factor in the breakdown of humans, and may cause certain individuals to attempt escape from safety, so there will be nothing to worry about without entry or exit to begin with!
Also, please be sure to observe the designated food and water storage, energy holding, and Medical Mourning rooms. The stairwell is prohibited from access, as the employee provided with your home has been trained to deal with extremely sensitive tasks in the basement floor. All residents are fully expected to castigate and chastise any individual attempting to enter below, and all words they speak must be disregarded. Immediately submit them to any available sect of the Medical Mourning room, and allow growth to occur. Grief is permitted upon completion of the transaction!
The events that have occurred may seem frightening, but Light Courier Enterprises is dedicated to the protection of all clients and customers. There is no place to fear! Only hope, and hope alone, will be the steed for all those undergoing this change! Onward, through and towards the dark abyss that lies before us, we shan't slow for home! Onward, through the being and entity of energy that beset our world, wringing chaos into our lives! Onward, the future was in sight, we will return it here! Onward! Onward! Onward.
Light Courier Enterprises is not liable. Contact 9915-30-3214 when communication services are made available again. Any foreign products, mutations, or entities that appear within Hideaway Home are not products of Hideaway Home or its assigned employee. We didn't ask for this. Hideaway Home's "Forever Food" and "Love Hydrating" resources expire 3.09/33:2. No assistance is currently possible.
