A photo of an iteration of SCP-2331-P.

Item #: SCP-2331
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2331 is currently being tracked by both Mobile Task Force Kappa-Theta ("Get Lucky") and Research Team Theta-Theta ("Afterparty"). When an iteration of SCP-2331-P is confirmed, Mobile Task Force Kappa-Theta are to enter SCP-2331-P in an attempt to capture SCP-2331. Research Team Theta-Theta is currently working on a way to predict SCP-2331-P iterations. Amnestics are to be distributed to all participants of SCP-2331-P iterations.
Description: SCP-2331 is a humanoid that appears to be an animate hay-filled mannequin commonly known as a scarecrow. SCP-2331 can be identified by its carved pumpkin head, which has an internal glow of fluorescent blue in low light conditions. SCP-2331 is theorized to be capable of triggering SCP-2331-P and only appears in order to trigger SCP-2331-P. SCP-2331 is most active during the month of October.
SCP-2331-P is a phenomenon that occurs in any area in which SCP-2331 appears. SCP-2331-P is the spontaneous organization and generation of equipment typical of a medium-sized festival that involves a lights set and electronic music, colloquially known as a rave. SCP-2331 will assume the role of a disc jockey. SCP-2331 is capable of controlling the space contained with SCP-2331-P, often changing the humidity of the air, spontaneously producing nonpoisonous colored smoke, and affecting the texture or size of the walls. It will also produce objects such as glowsticks or candy.
SCP-2331-P will generally attract humans typically between 18 and 30 years of age, although humans as young as 13 and as old as 73 have been known to attend. Although social media and word of mouth are often cited when attendees are interviewed, the drawing of a large amount of participants will occur even during low amounts of social media coverage. It is theorized that attendants to SCP-2331-P may be under certain mental effects, although the details of potential effects are still undergoing investigation.
Each iteration may last from 5 to 24 hours, depending on the size of the rave and any interruptions from either Foundation activity or local law enforcement. Upon the conclusion of SCP-2331-P, SCP-2331 will disappear and trigger a new iteration within 72 hours, usually in the continent of North America. No anomalous activity or behavior is noted of any participant of SCP-2331-P iterations apart from SCP-2331 itself.
SCP-2331 may trigger SCP-2331-P in any area with enough space for a rave, but prefers indoor locations. It is more likely to appear in areas with high population densities, especially near or at institutions of higher education such as trade schools, universities, and colleges.

Notes: This is the first contact between MTF Kappa-Theta and SCP-2331-P.
Involved Personnel: Agent Asla, Agent Michalsky and Researcher Witzke.
[BEGIN LOG]
<21:19> Agent Asla, Agent Michalsky and Researcher Witzke arrive to SCP-2331-P, taking place in the student union building of ████████ ████████ University.
<21:20> Researcher Witzke adjusts her gas mask, glowstick necklace, and pink wig. Agents Asla and Michalsky, having added glow sticks and fluorescent strips to their weapons, ensure that they are still functional.
<21:30> After searching for approximately 10 minutes, Agent Michalsky points to SCP-2331 on a balcony. Researcher Witzke is seen interviewing an attendee. SCP-2331 takes its head off and throws it into the crowd. The head explodes into fluorescent green smoke before it reaches the crowd, although no pumpkin parts can be seen. SCP-2331 then produces a new pumpkin head from its table and puts it on its shoulders. SCP-2331 does not appear to have head or neck underneath the pumpkin head.
<21:31> Agent Michalsky and Agent Asla attempt to approach SCP-2331. SCP-2331 is seen on a table with sound equipment, adjusting levels of volume.
<21:32> Agent Michalsky is interrupted as two college students pull him away to dance. Agent Asla accidentally pushes another student too hard, causing an argument. SCP-2331 notices the commotion and adjusts its microphone.
<21:33> Agent Michalsky: "I'm not interested, okay?" Agent Michalsky attempts to push the civilian away. Civilian: "Shut up and dance, dude!"
<21:34> SCP-2331 turns its head towards the agents. It points and waves as it plays another song. SCP-2331 then waves its left hand over the wall, which appears to stretch diagonally before snapping back into place.
<21:35> Multiple college students begin shoving the agents out of the area, citing reasons such as being too close to the DJ, threatening the DJ, or being disruptive. Researcher Witzke is not removed.
<21:40> Researcher Witzke finishes her interview and leaves SCP-2331-P. SCP-2331 can be seen making a downwards motion with both hands as fluorescent leaves appear to be spontaneously produced from the ceiling; these disappear before touching the floor.
<21:45> MTF Kappa-Theta continue to observe SCP-2331-P. SCP-2331-P ends without further complications after 10 hours.

Notes: Local law enforcement were explicitly instructed not to intervene.
Involved Personnel: Agent Lu, Agent Hansen and Researcher Witzke.
[BEGIN LOG]
<11:02> Agent Lu, Agent Hansen and Researcher Witzke enter SCP-2331-P, located in a warehouse at ████████ ████████. All are dressed appropriately in order to avoid detection.
<11:04> Researcher Witzke identifies SCP-2331 on the far side of the warehouse. She attempts to maneuver towards SCP-2331. SCP-2331 lurches over its table in a vomiting motion and produces glowsticks from its mouth, which it then dispenses into the crowd.
<11:10> Agents Lu and Hansen wave their glowsticks in time with a chorus. Researcher Witzke is interrupted by a civilian asking for her number, followed by a different civilian offering to buy her drinks.
<11:25> Researcher Witzke successfully approaches SCP-2331. Agents Lu and Hansen attempt to also approach SCP-2331, but are interrupted by three civilians requesting a dance.
<11:30> Researcher Witzke attempts to talk to SCP-2331. SCP-2331 gives her what appears to be a business card with a telephone number written on it in blue ink, but does not otherwise respond to her, and instead continues DJing.
<11:31> Local law enforcement arrives on the scene. Despite being unable to see police, SCP-2331 appears to look up and towards them. It changes music and presses a microphone to its face. The shadows around SCP-2331 grow in size and a dense fog fills the room.
<11:32> A young British male voice is heard from SCP-2331's mouth. SCP-2331: "Really? Fuckin' hell… Basically, boys and girls, it's hard for me to believe this as well, yes, so don't — don't boo or anything or do anything out of order — but basically, the police are shutting the party down."
<11:33> Local law enforcement officers begin coming out of their cars and approaching SCP-2331-P. Participants of SCP-2331-P stop dancing. SCP-2331 appears to scratch its head. SCP-2331: "No, I know. It — It sounds weird, but you know what the police are like when they shut something down. If we don't do some things in an orderly and calm fashion they're gonna pepper spray every motherfucker and get the dogs out and then some people might end up in the cells for a night."
<11:35> Local law enforcement officers open the entrance to SCP-2331-P and begin to announce that they are shutting the rave down. Agents Lu and Hansen move towards the officers, presumably to prevent them from disrupting SCP-2331-P further. The fog in the room begins to coalesce in midair, producing a glowing fluorescent pink arrow pointing to the exit.
<11:36> SCP-2331: "So ladies and gentlemen I don't know what you'll have to do! I think people might have to-" SCP-2331's voice switches to a mechanical tone. SCP-2331: "-head to the afterparty!" (Note: Upon further investigation, all of SCP-2331's dialogue is a voice sample.)
<11:37> SCP-2331 waves its hands in the air to the cheering of the participants of SCP-2331-P. All lighting shuts off as SCP-2331 disappears along with sound equipment, alcohol, drugs, and lighting equipment. Participants leave in an orderly and calm fashion. Researcher Witzke attempts to call the number.
<11:57> Mobile Task Force Kappa-Theta receives reports of another iteration of SCP-2331-P approximately 10 kilometers from its previous iteration. Most of the participants of the previous iteration are reported to be attending the new one.
<12:02> Agent Lu, Agent Hansen and Researcher Witzke attempt to enter the new iteration. They are denied entry by several participants near the entrance, stating that it is a private party. This new iteration lasts for approximately 8 hours with no further unusual activity.

[BEGIN LOG]
Civilian: Hello?
Researcher Witzke: Oh, hi! I was given this number by S.C.- uhm, a fellow called, uhm… [grimacing] Scravecrow?
Civilian: [laughter] Yeah, I know of the guy. I'm not him, though. Just an old friend. He's a busy guy, so I usually pick up the phone for him. What did'ja need?
Researcher Witzke: Could you tell me more about him? How did you meet him? I'm part of a local newspaper and I'd like to interview him, too.
Civilian: Well, I could tell you plenty about him, but you probably won't believe me. He used to be called Jack, y'know, of the lantern variety. Used to do a lot of work, changing the color of the leaves and making things foggy on dark nights. He was a bit of seasonal worker if y'know what I'm saying.
Researcher Witzke: So why is he known as… Scravecrow these days?
Civilian: Well, times change. Celebrations 'round this time of year… [sigh] It's hard to watch something you've lived for hollow out to a shell of its former self. Jack got tired. He got sad. He retired and moved on to something that reminded him of how things used to be.
Researcher Witzke: I don't- so what is your relation to him?
Civilian: [small laugh] I did something very kind for him once. We've had a kind of friendship ever since. Either way, I'm not buying your story about being a reporter, miss.
Researcher Witzke: Oh. Do you need a name or something? I can give you the number of my employ-
Civilian: I don't really know who you are or anything, but whoever you represent, please let them know that he doesn't want any trouble. He doesn't hurt no one and his parties never get violent. He's just an old man looking for a feeling that's been lost to time. [hangs up]

SCP-2332, swallowtail form.

SCP-2332, Sylphina Angel form.

Item #: SCP-2332
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2332 is to be contained in a repurposed dimensional testing room on Site-19's Research Floor 2 (the location of initial manifestation). The room's ultraviolet light tubes are to be remotely switched on every 12 hours for a period of 5 minutes; no personnel are to enter the room at this time. Security personnel assigned to nearby areas are to carry at least one blue laser pointer at all times. A box of spare blue laser pointers is to be kept inside the containment room.
The containment area and adjacent hallways are to be monitored by video surveillance at all times. Level 3 security clearance is required for access to SCP-2332. Should a containment breach occur, SCP-2332 is to be immobilized (via laser exposure) and returned to its containment area; extra care is to be taken when handling SCP-2332 while it is immobile.
Description: SCP-2332 is an entity that takes the shape of a butterfly, alternating between apparent forms of an Alpine Black Swallowtail (Papilio maackii) and a Sylphina Angel (Chorinea sylphina). SCP-2332 displays no morphological differences from non-anomalous butterflies with the exception of unusual wing patterns, which resemble false-color images of NGC 6302, a bipolar planetary nebula in the Scorpius constellation. Microscopic imaging reveals the layering of the scales on SCP-2332's wings to resemble the structure of cortical columns found in human brains.
SCP-2332 is extremely sensitive to light. Testing has revealed that SCP-2332 possesses an extreme aversion to concentrated electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths between 360 and 480 nm, and will enter a catatonic state if exposed to it for extended periods of time. Exposure to higher energy concentrated ultraviolet light (wavelengths around 90 nm), however, seems to produce rejuvenating effects.
SCP-2332 is able to become temporarily intangible, noted during Incident-2332-2, in which it managed to escape containment by passing through the glass walls of the terrarium housing it. SCP-2332 has demonstrated similar behavior with plastic, mesh netting, and Plexiglas enclosures in experimental settings. Camera footage and subsequent inspection indicate that the material of the enclosures was not altered in any way.
Though SCP-2332's behavior generally consists of flying in circular patterns around its containment area, it has demonstrated the ability to communicate by tapping its forelegs together to produce vocalizations. SCP-2332 will speak in this manner (albeit haltingly) in the voice of whatever individual last addressed it; the means by which this is possible are unknown.
Addendum 2332-1: Interviews with SCP-2332 are to take place regularly, to gather more information regarding its origin. (See interview log)

Fibrous conglomerate structures formed by SCP-2333 in an isolated sample

Item #: SCP-2333
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Currently, 15 samples of SCP-2333 are stored in Bio-Research Site 101. SCP-2333 must be contained under Biosafety Level 2 precautions. Minimal isolation is necessary for infected individuals. In the event of a breach, all on site personnel are to be screened for infection, with infected subjects isolated.
SCP-2333-1 is to be contained in a humanoid containment cell under Biosafety Level 2 precautions. Standard rations are to be provided twice daily. A full medical examination is to occur on a biweekly basis.
Research on SCP-2333 is currently restricted to personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher.
Description: SCP-2333 is a group of complex artificial prions. SCP-2333 has an exceedingly low infectivity, with direct injection into neural tissue being the only known reliable route of infection. Injection into the blood results in infection in approximately 20% of cases.
SCP-2333 causes the formation of anomalous fibrous conglomerates around neurons and myelin, which appear to promote increased neural signals and regeneration of tissue. This process occurs extremely rapidly, with symptoms appearing in as little as 12 hours.
Symptoms of SCP-2333 infection appear no more than 24 hours following exposure. The first sign of infection is an extremely calm emotional state. Rapid neural growth results in regeneration of nerve tissue, resolving any previous neural injury or degenerative neural condition. Infection also results in the suppression of pain receptors. Lastly, subjects with SCP-2333 infection are no longer able to sleep and do not report increased fatigue. Analysis of several subjects' EEG readouts has been inconclusive.
An average of seven days following initial infection, the concentration of SCP-2333 in neural tissue reaches a critical level, stimulating production of large amounts of melatonin. This marks the transition of infection into Stage 2. Infected subjects become drowsy and withdrawn, and lapse into a coma within 1 hour of Stage 2 onset. After a mean of 3 hours following onset, subjects invariably experience a complete cessation of neurological activity.
Subjects infected with SCP-2333 have a generally positive demeanor, though they seem to be instinctively aware of their imminent death. Most subjects display a desire to send farewells to family and friends, as well as perform various unrelated, often reckless behaviors. Subjects with any previous chronic disease will experience a marked improvement in symptoms, to the point of appearing as a complete recovery.
SCP-2333-1 (formerly Dr. George S████) is a 39 year old Hispanic male, measuring 1.9 meters in height and weighing approximately 90 kg. SCP-2333-1 is the sole known subject infected with SCP-2333 to not have progressed into Stage 2 of infection. At the time of this writing, SCP-2333-1's condition has not deteriorated over its ██ months of containment. Subject displays the normal demeanor of subjects infected with SCP-2333.
SCP-2333-1 displays a severe skull fracture consistent with a gunshot wound. MRI scanning of SCP-2333-1's head shows the presence of a small metallic object measuring 3mm in diameter in the subject's cerebellum. No symptoms of neurological damage are present in the subject.
On ██/██/20██, SCP-2333 was recovered from [REDACTED] Hospice Care in [REDACTED], when 5 researchers employed at the facility turned themselves in to local police, claiming anomalous results in a medical study being conducted. Foundation personnel discovered the case during a routine intelligence check, and agents were dispatched to investigate. It was discovered that SCP-2333 was being used as palliative care at the [REDACTED] facility. All researchers involved in the study were detained, and all employees not involved in the study were administered Class-B amnestics. The facility is currently under indefinite observation.
Dr. ███████ █. ██████ and Dr. Philip D████ have been granted employment in return for their cooperation.
Addendum: Log 2333-1
The following is the journal of Dr ███████ █. ██████ from ██/██/20██, to ██/██/20██. Dr ██████ was the Lead researcher in Project Helios.

██/██
The outside guys showed up today, so we can finally begin testing. I'm a little surprised at how small the team is, but I'm not going to complain. I've been working here for years, so it's about time that I got to be the head of something.
We'll start testing the first samples tomorrow.
[IRRELEVANT DATA REDACTED]
██/██
Phil wanted to talk to me again today. He said that he didn't like the new focus of the study. I told him that it was his discovery, and that he should be glad that he was getting some credit. Apparently he didn't appreciate that, because he told me that I should be grateful that a "fucking moron" was the project head.
Now that I think about it, that did kinda escalate quickly. Phil's never been quick to get so angry. He must really have a problem with something.
██/██
I found out why Phil is angry. Apparently he thinks the focus on life extension is somehow inherently wrong, from a moral standpoint.
I was about to talk to him about it when I learned that he'd asked for me to be removed as project head. I was going to be reasonable, but if this is how he's going to be, then I don't care about his morality.
You know what? Screw morals. If I want to go big, I'm going big.
██/██
Clinical trials are beginning today. Phil is still upset, but at this point, I don't care anymore.
It's been about 20 hours now. The patients are up and alert. Gonna send one for an MRI, so we can make sure they're responding correctly.
██/██
That bastard! He did something to the samples, I know it! The patients all just died, and there's no way that it wasn't him messing with the protein!
I need to calm down. I have to get some samples. I need to prove that he did this.
██/██
Phil's saying he's got two of the other researchers on his side. He's now threatening to report me for ethics violations. And he's gone further than that, too.
I logged onto the network earlier, and all of the information on the protein's structure was deleted.
I talked to Stan, one of the outside researchers. He's agreed to help me end this, if I don't tell George. Says having him oblivious to this will help keep this from getting out.
██/██
I shot George.
I didn't mean to do it. Stanley brought a gun, and I approached Phil with it. I looked at him, and told him that he should be wishing he had helped me. He lunged at me, and it went off. It all went so fast…
I didn't feel anything. I saw a shocked look on Phil's face, and thought I'd hit him. Then he ran behind me.
George was writhing on the ground in a puddle of blood. Phil and I both keeled over him. I could hear Phil scream, and George was moaning.
It felt like it'd been forever since George opened his eyes. He looked right at me, then asked in a slurred voice what was happening. We helped him up, and got him to his room. Phil told me to clean up the spill before someone found it.
I don't know how George survived this. I hit him right in the back of the head, yet as I write this he's lucid and talking.
I took a sample of the blood on the ground. Maybe it holds some answers.
██/██
George doesn't remember anything about yesterday.
I talked to Phil, and he agreed that we should test the blood.
Somehow, George was exposed to the test protein. We think he has a few days left.
Phil said we should tell the other researchers. For once, I agreed.
██/██
It's been two weeks. George is in perfect health. We've decided that he's not going to die.
We all know that this has gone too far.
Phil was keeping a printed copy of the documentation in his room this whole time. We're gonna give it to George, so that he at least knows what happened to him. Once he leaves, we're turning ourselves in.

Addendum: Interview Log 2333-3
The following interview was conducted with SCP-2333-1 immediately following its recovery.

Interviewed: SCP-2333-1
Interviewer: Researcher ██████
<Begin Log, Skip 2m-16s>
██████: So the initial goal, as you stated, was pain reduction. How well did you achieve this during initial testing?
SCP-2333-1: Well, our initial tests were just on cell cultures. We were just making sure that we could alter the nerve cells without destroying them. We honed in on the correct protein after a few trials, and things started off, I'd say pretty smoothly.
██████: Was there anything unusual about your results?
SCP-2333-1: Actually, yes. It turned out that the prions were actually making some of the cultures far more hardy. They were more resistant to heat and chemicals, and they could grow a lot faster. I personally was pretty surprised by that.
██████: And it was at this point that the goal of Project Helios was altered?
SCP-2333-1: Partially. We concluded that, since we were getting these regenerative effects, it would be helpful to see if we could also possibly reverse some neurodegenerative conditions.
██████: Understandable. So the animal tests were conducted on animal models of Alzheimer's disease, correct?
SCP-2333-1: Yes, we did use some Alzheimer animal models. We dosed the mice, and the disease was reversed in the test subjects, while the control group died.
██████: So at this point was when human trials began?
SCP-2333-1: Not at that point. We were actually towards the end of animal tests when we got more unexpected results. One of the lab assistants prepared a batch improperly, but again, no negative effects on the subjects were observed. In fact, they were healthier than most normal lab rats. We did some extended testing, and, well, they didn't age.
██████: They… didn't age?
SCP-2333-1: We took cell samples, and all of them were biologically immortal. Their cells repaired themselves rapidly, grew rapidly. Biologically, they were not aging.
██████: So, I'm guessing it didn't have that same effect on humans then?
SCP-2333-1: It had a completely different effect. The patients were awake for a week, then died.
██████: And then that prion is what was put into general use?
SCP-2333-1: Um, I think so, as far as I know.
██████: I understand that the project was ended at that point. Is that correct?
SCP-2333-1: Yeah.
██████: Was there anything else notable after that?
SCP-2333-1: Well, a few days after the project ended, I was about to head back to my home state, when one of the other researchers approached me.
██████: What did he want to talk about?
SCP-2333-1: He didn't actually say very much. He handed me a stapled packet of papers, and told me that before I left, he wanted me to read it.
██████: What was in the packet?
SCP-2333-1: I only skimmed through it, but most of it was just the documentation of Project Helios. The last page had a handwritten note on it.
██████: Do you remember what it said?
SCP-2333-1: "The right to die is as essential as the right to live."
██████: Do you still have the packet?
SCP-2333-1: No. I burned it. I threw it in my fireplace when I got home. I kinda felt like I had more pressing things to do, like I didn't have much time left. Do you know how much longer it'll be?
██████: How much longer until what?
SCP-2333-1: Until I die.
██████: I don't think I can answer that, I'm sorry.
SCP-2333-1: That's okay. Thanks for talking to me, Doc.

Item #: SCP-2334
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2334 is contained on site at its location in Utah. Although potentially hazardous records remain in the facility, Level 3 researchers may enter to study catalogued records with proper authorization from their supervisors.
Description: SCP-2334 is an anomalous underground salt mine and photograph storage facility near Salt Lake City, Utah, with a single known entrance located at coordinates N██°██'██.██" W███°██'██.██". Intelligence suggests that it may contain every possible photograph in the RGB color spectrum, printed at an approximate resolution of 2000 by 3000 pixels.
SCP-2334 came to the attention of the Foundation after photocopies of a photograph of the following document began to circulate among students at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, in September 1996. Distribution was localized to a religious sect of students who wore colorful, static-patterned clothing. Containment personnel administered Class-A amnestics to students who received photocopies of sensitive materials.

SCP-2626
Artifact #: SCP-2626
Artifact Class: Innoxious
Spatial Control Paradigm: If not in trials, SCP-2626 should inhabit a thick bin at Plot 19. Staff may ask to work with SCP-2626 for study trials by submitting a physical proposal to a Lvl. 3 boss, who must wait in physical form to watch all handling of said artifact.
…

These copies appeared to be photographs of official Foundation documents, albeit with text altered to avoid use of the letter 'e'. Five different classified documents — reports regarding SCP-2626, -████, -████, -████, and -████ — were found to be circulating, all on official Foundation letterhead. Students possessing copies were interrogated, and the source was traced to a small abandoned house in ████████, Utah, where similar photographs were found pinned to the walls. An entrance to the storage facility was discovered on the adjoining property.
In Operation Oulipo, Foundation personnel questioned and interrogated ██ subjects who inhabited the facility (see: Addendum-A), all of whom were affiliated with the religious sect known as the Monks of the Archive. On entering the storage facility, personnel investigated █████ rooms.
SCP-2334 is not believed to be endless, but rather significantly larger than the spatial constraints of the local geology would normally allow. It is believed that additional members of the religious sect may remain within the caverns, but attempts to locate them have been unsuccessful.
Addendum-A: Operation Oulipo
The individuals detained in Operation Oulipo identified themselves as members of a religious group and wore ceremonial garments with colorful static patterns. They did not exhibit resistance until Foundation personnel requested access to rooms beyond those in the nearest cluster to the entrance, at which point they reacted violently. █ were terminated on site, and the rest were detained.
The detained individuals did not provide reliable intelligence. Below is a brief excerpt from one of the more productive interviews.

Interviewed: 2334-D2 ("Brother Pixel")
Interviewer: Dr. Calvino
<Begin Log, 11-09-1996 04:31 p.m.>
Calvino: If these caverns contain every possible photograph, why are there humans and depictions of Earth in so many of the photos we've seen?
2334-D2: You've only seen the part that's closest to us — they printed it that way, as they carved this place from the salt. It's much larger than you think.
Calvino: Who's they?
2334-D2: They printed everything.
Calvino: What do you mean?
2334-D2: We follow they who have seen all, they who have known all, they who have seen the one true image.
Calvino: And that's supposed to be —
2334-D2: With every passing day, our pilgrims travel deeper toward its source.
Calvino: Are there more of you down there?
2334-D2 refused to answer any additional questions.

Addendum-B: Image Samples
The following images were chosen to provide an overview of the image characteristics discovered in each subsequent room. Most images were unrecognizable static, so these samples were also selected for clarity.

Addendum-C: Document 2334-73███
The following document was found in the archive room designated 73███, beside an elderly man's corpse that was found in an advanced state of decomposition.

May 1
Entered the sacred realm today. My body thirsted for knowledge, but they only granted me static and images without form. I sense this journey will be long, and I must return with supplies.
May 3
I saw something that almost looked like a dog today, but Brother Gradient insisted it was not a dog.
May 10
I know the brothers forbid my writings, but I feel I must record what happens in these sacred caverns. I believe I saw a man's face in the static today.
May 15
Brother Vector found an entire word today. The word was "calcify" — It looked as if it had been written on a typewriter, but I dare not assert that.
May 28
We are running low on supplies, but a trip back to the surface is not in order. We pledged to find the one true image and not to return until we had done so. Time seems to move different here. Though we have not shaved, none of the men have grown beards since we departed.
July ?
Today we saw green for the first time in weeks. Praise Them!
? ?
The static burns my eyes.

Addendum-D: Possible Dimensions
No evidence has been discovered concerning another entrance or end point to the archive.
Research theories regarding the size of the archive are based on statistical analysis of pixel values in images recovered from the site. In short, the distribution of pixels suggests a complete set of images, were one to travel far enough through the archive.
The total number of images possible at 2000 by 3000 pixels (the approximate resolution of each print) is calculated to be (224)6000000=2144000000, or over 1043000000.1

Item #: SCP-2335
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2335 is to be stored in a medium-security locker in Media storage unit 19D. As a precaution to preserve the disk's functionality, SCP-2335 is not to be handled without gloves. SCP-2335 is not to be removed from its casing unless considered necessary for authorized testing.
Description: SCP-2335 is a standard, unmarked, commercially-available Memorex 16X DVD-R disk kept within a SuperMedia-S brand DVD case. Basic physical analysis reveals that the disk is of no abnormal composition, and is likely susceptible to corruption in the same manner as one would expect from a relatively inexpensive media disk.
SCP-2335 can be played by any DVD player, or device with DVD playing functionality, including computers, game consoles, and portable media players. When the disc is played, the viewer is taken to an unlabeled menu hub. The menu features two circular modules; selecting the first triggers footage playback, and selecting the second has no observable effect.
When the viewer selects the "Play" option, compiled footage begins, depicting a family vacation at a lakeside cabin. All footage is accompanied by a watermark in the top right corner that depicts the date and time, the beginning of the reunion footage being dated at Aug 27, 1999. When viewed uninterrupted, the footage plays for roughly 40 minutes, and consists entirely of a continuous video of a Caucasian male, seemingly in his late forties, canoeing. The footage begins at 16:54:51 and, if left undisturbed, ends abruptly at 17:35:19.
When the "skip" function on the DVD player is used, however, the content of the footage jumps, and a clip from a seemingly random date and time will play. The subjects of the footage do not appear to be related to the originally depicted family. The same two clips have yet to be repeated, and further investigation suggests that the clips are meant to make up a narrative.
Recorded dates in the footage range from the year 104 to ████ CE. Clips have never been observed to exceed thirty minutes in time, and can be as brief as twelve seconds. Footage always depicts humans and seems to be filmed with the same equipment. The cameraman, to be referred to as SCP-2335-1, is never addressed1, and the subjects of the footage seem to be unaware of its presence.

+ Observed Clips

- Observed Clips

Date and time depicted: 10/3/1949 15:05:12-15:07:01
Events observed: A tall Caucasian male, seemingly in his mid-twenties, leaning on a fence post, surrounded by farmland. He is wearing a white undershirt, black work trousers, and a wide-rimmed cap. The subject of the footage seems to be watching something out of frame, and begins to smile at 15:06:22 and remains visibly amused until the end of the clip.
Date and time depicted: 3/3/1315 7:12:21-7:15:44
Events observed: A dark-skinned, presumably Mesoamerican youth wearing animal furs and a colorful arm band climbing a tree, alone, in what appears to be an equatorial rain forest. At 7:14:34 the boy falls from an approximate height of five meters and screams in pain before apparently blacking out. Footage rolls of the unconscious boy for another 44 seconds.
Date and time depicted: 4/29/2028 16:14:10-16:15:26
Events observed: Three British youths, walking on the side of a busy motorway, discussing a particularly disliked teacher. They appear to be in the early teens, aged 12-14. Each wears black pants and a red shirt of flexible, nylon-like fabric, and a belt featuring a green ram insignia on the buckle. Several unique slang words can be heard during the conversation, including referring to a female as "mapped," and using the phrase "right flat," several times to express disdain for an assignment.
Date and time depicted: 12/25/1990 6:35:45-6:36:31
Events observed: An African-American girl, presumably aged 5-8 years, opens a large, extravagantly decorated box. After discovering its contents, a tabby American Shorthair kitten, the girl expresses extreme happiness and proceeds to hop onto a nearby couch and scream "thank you, daddy" repeatedly into a throw pillow.
Date and time depicted: 12/25/1987 5:45:55-5:48:52
Events observed: A blonde Caucasian boy, of similar age to the girl in the previous entry, sitting upright in bed. The boy sniffles as sounds of two adults (presumably his parents) fighting can be heard in the background. He yelps at the sudden noise of a door slamming, reaches under his pillow, retrieves a red-and-green envelope, and tears it up violently while the sniffling transitions into suppressed sobs.
I was under the impression that these clips played in a random order. The fact that these two clips appeared consecutively is either an astronomical coincidence or proves that this is not the case. - Dr. ████████
Date and time depicted: [REDACTED]
Events observed: Footage of what appears to be the interior of Facility-███, located in ████████, just minutes before SCP-███ and SCP-████ orchestrate a major containment breach. Researchers and other personnel are documented as they learn of the breach and attempt to prevent or flee it. Notable individuals appearing on the film include Dr. ████████ and Dr. █████, both of whom were reported dead after the breach originally occurred. Despite their efforts, which seem to be the focus of the footage, SCP-████ finds and ████████████████████ Dr. ███████ with its ████████████████████████ resulting in his ████████████████████████████ and eventual death by blood loss. SCP-███ can be seen to ████████████ Dr. █████ fourteen times before he eventually ████████████████████████████████ which lasts for one minute and fourteen seconds.
Date and time depicted: 7/27/2099 9:05:31-9:08:31
Events observed: A crowded arena filled predominantly with teenagers and young adults. Roughly half of the visible individuals are wearing tight blue one-pieces with padded shoulders, the other half wearing red outfits of the same nature. Each individual seems to be holding a glowing yellow baton estimated to be about 14 inches long. It is theorized that the gathering could be part of a mass sport, as the participants seem to be trying to hit others who are wearing the opposite color with the batons. When a baton connects with a vital area, the person hit seems to go limp for an indiscernible period of time. The ultimate goal of the game is unclear given the time of the clip and frame of view, but it seems that members of each team are trying to cross into an "enemy territory" without being incapacitated.
Date and time depicted: [REDACTED]
Events observed: A ██-second static shot of an apartment complex located in Uptown ██████████. While filmed from too far away to discern any details concerning specific address, photo analysis software has proven that the building is without a doubt the ██████████ Apartments, which happens to be Dr. ████████'s current place of residence.
While tonally unlike any previously-seen footage, we have no reason to believe this to be anything other than a coincidence. At least, I seriously hope this isn't anything other than a coincidence.- Dr. ████████
Date and time depicted: 6/16/1219 14:24:42-14:25:50
Events observed: An African man wearing a leather skirt surrounded by a crowd of similarly-dressed onlookers. He performs a series of acrobatic maneuvers, ending with a back flip over a campfire, and is met by applause from the crowd. A child breaks from the group and hands the man a flower.
Date and time depicted: 9/08/ ████ 38:13:32-38:14:22
Events observed: A group of humans, arms intertwined, running on completely flat, red terrain. Analysis of the strides of these unidentified humans indicates that they measure between 6'11'' and 7'5'' tall. The humans seem to be completely hairless, and have a reddish tone to their skin unlike that of any known race. They wear skin-tight black pants and colorful bracer-like arm coverings. Each bracer's pattern and color seems to be unique to the individual and crafted of thin metal. There are no distinguishable landscape patterns shown in the frame of the video.
Date and time depicted: [REDACTED]
Events observed: Dr. ████████, head of research on SCP-2335, sleeping in his bed with his wife. The room's lights are on, but the subjects of the footage remain asleep. The camera slowly zooms in on Dr. ████████'s face, and remains there for thirteen seconds before the lights flip off and the clip ends.
Testing at this time will be suspended until we can understand this thing's motives. I know it isn't proven to be malevolent, but I really don't like that it knows where I live.- Dr. ████████
Dr. ████████ has backed out of the investigation of SCP-2335, and research will now be headed by me.- Dr.███████████
Date and time depicted: 12/12/1212 12:12:12-12:12:24
Events observed: The clip is roughly twelve seconds long, and consists of a man dressed in velvet garments reminiscent of an early Italian Barone reaching into a large steaming receptacle and retrieving a handful of metallic shavings. The shavings appear to be composed of gold. At 12:12:20 the man begins to laugh and throw the shavings in the air.
Date and time depicted: [REDACTED]
Events observed: A stabilized, static shot of what appears to be the face of a decidedly non-human entity, bearing marked physiological similarities to recorded instances of SCP-███, who seems to be staring at the camera directly. After a brief pause, the entity cocks its head, a movement reminiscent of confusion or curiosity, and gestures to something out-of-frame. Exactly twelve seconds after this movement, the entity began to vocalize, and with a slight delay said "How did you find us? Who are you?" This message was repeated in eight popular languages, later confirmed to be of identical meaning. When Dr. ████████ later responded vocally to this question, the entity began to reply only in English. The interaction is recorded below.
Further testing is temporarily discontinued and awaiting O5 approval.

+ Interview Log 2335-2

- Interview Log 2335-2

Interviewed: SCP-2335-2
Interviewer: Dr. ████████
Foreword: This interview was conducted through vocal correspondence with the entity described above, now labeled SCP-2335-2, through the apparent medium of SCP-2335.
<Begin Log>

Dr. ████████: As a species? We identify as human.
SCP-2335-2: There is a recognition. Are you of the species documented in this footage?
Dr. ████████: The footage on this disc? Yes. For what purpose have you been documenting us?
SCP-2335-2: There is a misunderstanding. My kind is not responsible for the creation or compilation of the aforementioned footage. I am a volunteer member of a local Chronicling Cycle, and while performing routine uploads to my facility's archives, there was a wonder, as we discovered a [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION] containing seemingly impossible amounts of data. There was a decoding, and footage of what appears to be your species was parsed out. There was an examination of that footage, and now there is a contact with you.
Dr. ████████: Do you know who was responsible for this? We've also stumbled across what I imagine to be the same footage, and have little to no information about its origins.
SCP-2335-2: There is a quandary. No documented species known to my kind possesses the technological capability of producing such a high density of recording such as this.
Dr. ████████: How are you capable of speaking in English? To what extent has your people interacted with mine?
SCP-2335-2: There is a translation. I am speaking currently in my native mouth, and a [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION] is drawing from an analysis of documented language depicted in the footage stored on the [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION]. There is not an existing of a known record of discourse between our peoples prior to this point. There is an apology if the translation is not perfect.
Dr. ████████: How are you capable of synthesizing the entirety of our languages out of a few clips?
SCP-2335-2: There is a confusion. Have you not discovered the anomalous volume of data found within your respective data receptacle? Does your copy of the footage contain a limited amount of information? Our [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION] have been parsing the [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION] into footage at extremely high speeds and we have yet to discover an end to the recordings contained therein. There currently exists hundreds of millions of individual instances of recordings of your kind in our archives, with more being recorded every [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION], all stemming from that original [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION].
Dr. ████████: How long has this been going on?
SCP-2335-2: There has been a vast effort. The [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION] was discovered many, many [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION] ago. There has been a slowing of the study of this media, as one would expect after such a vast run of time, but some, like myself, continue to watch and analyze and record it. There has been a great fascination with the footage, among [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION] and civilians alike. Your people, if the documentation thus far has been accurate, are fascinating.
Dr. ████████: You've made the footage available to civilians?
SCP-2335-2: Oh, yes, there has been much interest in you and your kind. Have you yet to discover the footage of the great footrace, or the small one with the present, or the glowing festival? Those are among the most requested segments from our archives. Gathering to watch new footage has become a ritual for some, usually performed every [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION].
Dr. ████████: So countless members of your kind are poring over this material, yet you have no theories or ideas as to where it came from?
SCP-2335-2: There is little to no knowledge. There are theories. The most popular is that the creator of this media is very much intelligent, likely more so than my kind or, and there is an apology if this is rude, your kind. They do not seem to be bound by time, or have some method of sidestepping temporal obligation, like a [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION] or a [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION]. The creator of the footage also seems to be aware of both of our kinds' existences, and, considering that we are presumably both watching each other at the moment on our respective versions of the media, they may even be recording and facilitating our interaction at this very moment. In fact, there is an idea held by some that it may be possible to contact this creator, given that analysis of the [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION] suggests it may be a life form composed of [UNKNOWN VOCALIZATION]. It would simply be a matter of-

At this point, the footage of SCP-2335-2 ended abruptly. SCP-2335-2 has yet to reappear on SCP-2335. Due to disputes among administration about how to proceed, testing on SCP-2335 has been postponed until further O5 approval.

Item #: SCP-2336
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation maintains a network of observation satellites to monitor and report the emergence of any Howard-Stross gateways that are formed other than through normal Foundation activities. If such a gateway is formed, Mobile Task Force Tau-16 is to be dispatched. Consult document 2336-N for details of engagement protocol for the Type I and Type II entities that typically arrive through such a gateway.
Note: See supplemental containment procedures in Addendum 1 below.
Description: SCP-2336 is a sequence of phonemes, not known to correspond to any meaning in any living or known extinct language. Document 2336-A contains a representation of SCP-2336 in the International Phonetic Alphabet.
The vocal articulation of this phoneme sequence by a human subject has been experimentally demonstrated to result in the formation of a Howard-Stross gateway1 normally having a duration of 2 to 11 seconds. The formation of such a gateway frequently results in the arrival of a Type I or Type II tartarean entity (designated an instance of SCP-2336-A).
Although instances of SCP-2336-A are frequently hostile, through trial and error the Foundation has developed a reliable protocol for containing them, communicating with them, documenting their characteristics, and (most recently) controlling them and applying their capabilities toward research purposes and other useful activities.2 An excerpt of the containment and processing log for instances of SCP-2336-A follows:

Designation
Description
Application

SCP-2336-A1
Non-sapient hexapod, mass approx. 1800 kg. Emits slime composed of high concentrations of sulfur and phosphorus.
Milked for chemical compounds for research and industrial use.

SCP-2336-A8
Non-sapient tetrapod with body plan superficially resembling a rhinoceros. Mass approx. 1200 kg. Body temperature in excess of 260 °C. Breathes fire.
Powers turbine to supply electricity to Site 38.

SCP-2336-A72
Sapient. Invisible (body plan assumed to be bipedal and winged). Capable of communicating in classical Arabic. During interviews, claims to be composed of "smokeless flame of fire." Capable of levitating.
Containment chamber integrated into elevator at Site 32 to economize energy use.

SCP-2336-A210
Sapient biped. Reddish hide.
Used as gas filter in modified Maxwell engine to overcome thermodynamics.

SCP-2336-A322
Sapient biped. Iridescent hide.
Consciousness imprinted into Laplace processor for computational purposes.

SCP-2336-A416
Semi-sapient with irregular body plan. Capable of summoning an apparently unlimited supply of live, non-anomalous Musca domestica from unknown source.
Flies crushed and processed for use as fertilizer and for other industrial purposes.

SCP-2336-A666
Sapient biped. Interviews indicate that SCP-2336-A666 occupies a position of authority in the society accessed by means of the gateway.
After negotiation, exchanged for recovery of personnel who had been lost during a containment breach of SCP-1844.

Addendum 1: Further research indicates that under certain conditions, a vocal articulation of SCP-2336 is likely to result in a much larger Howard-Stross gateway, thereby presenting a risk that a much larger tartarean entity (possibly one or more Type VIII entities) could manifest. Analysis indicates that three exacerbating factors are:

Proximity of the human subject to (██.████° N, ███.████° E) at the time that SCP-2336 is articulated (that location is designated as Location K)
Whether the human subject is a member of Y-chromosomal haplogroup ███-██.
Astronomical conditions specified in Appendix 2336-S.

The manifestation of even one Type VIII entity would presumably constitute a Category 7 (XK) eschatologic condition. To mitigate risk, supplemental containment procedures have been adopted in order to lessen the risk that SCP-2336 could be articulated under conditions when one or more of the risk factors are present.

Access to Location K has been restricted by placing a landfill at the site.
The Foundation has developed a teratogen and introduced it to the water supply in the geographic area where most of the population of haplogroup ███-██ resides, for the purpose of causing individuals born in that area to have congenital anatomical defects which render them physically unable to vocalize the phonemes.
Proposals to address astronomical conditions are under consideration.

SCP-2337

Item #: SCP-2337
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2337 is to be kept in a standard avian habitat cell with soundproofing. Personnel are required to wear level 3B 5A 7A 26M ear protection while handling SCP-2337. Transportation for SCP-2337 is to be carried out using a portable soundproof crate.
Though SCP-2337 has no need of nutrition, gummy worms1 are to be provided upon request, and not restricted as a reward for good behavior. Due to SCP-2337's poor grasp of cause and effect, punishments and rewards will inevitably result in frustration on part of involved personnel.
As of 12/5/14, all staff are advised to not attempt to emulate SCP-2337's speech patterns in its presence, and are assured that SCP-2337 understands some degree of human English.
Description: SCP-2337 is a male corn crake2. It is sapient, sentient, and capable of speech. All of its vocalizations are extremely loud, with a minimum observed volume of 90 dB and a maximum of [REDACTED]. Though this can and has caused damage to personnel's hearing, SCP-2337 is oblivious of its ability and is generally friendly with Foundation personnel.
SCP-2337's vocalizations take the form of a language tangentially related to English. It often appears to be word salad, but, upon closer inspection, can have meaning in English through a series of vague innuendos, metaphors, rhyme, and arbitrary insertions of the word "cack". As such, SCP-2337 will answer to the name "Dr. Spanko."
Initial reports of SCP-2337 came from unusual noises from a field near ████████, Sussex, UK, which led to its capture in the same area. Upon containment, SCP-2337 appeared to take hostile action against Foundation personnel, emitting blasts of noise that ruptured the eardrums of 3 agents. Upon later examination, it was revealed that SCP-2337 was attempting to make friendly conversation.
Addendum: Since the containment of SCP-2337, several sapient creatures contained by the Foundation have displayed knowledge of its existence and have expressed interest in a meeting with SCP-2337. The reason for this has yet to be fully understood, though it is believed that SCP-2337 has some sort of status as an authority figure to several particularly dangerous beings. Keter reclassification has been proposed for this reason, but is currently denied due to SCP-2337's apparent cooperation with the Foundation.

+ Interview with SCP-2337, 12/5/14

- encryption key accepted

Dr. ██████: Please state your name for the record.Dr. ██████: Thank you.Dr. ██████: Listen, SCP-2337 -
SCP-2337 draws a prolonged gasp.Dr. ██████: - You seem to have a pre-established relationship of sorts with several of the more dangerous creatures in our custody.Dr. ██████: Yes. Please elaborate on the exact nature of this relationship.Dr. ██████: Please repeat that statement in the dialect used by the Foundation.SCP-2337 begins yodeling for three consecutive minutes.
Dr. ██████: Please discontinue yodeling.Dr. ██████: We need you to cooperate and explain your answer in a coherent way.Dr. ██████: You're not hearing me, are you?Dr. ██████: "…cack?"Dr. ██████: "Snackutations Doctor Spanko, cack! You am authoritater? Explainerate."
SCP-2337 begins "cacking" angrily, then proceeds to climb up to Dr. ██████'s face and attempt to peck his eyes out. SCP-2337 is quickly sedated with a tranquilizer dart and Dr. ██████ suffers only minor scratches. This has been noted the only time that SCP-2337 has displayed hostility.

SCP-2338

Please note: As of 23/10/2013, this article is deprecated.

Item #: SCP-2338
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-2338 instances are contained in the low security dorm of Site 19's E-Block. Instances of SCP-2338 are to be kept to a regular daily schedule mimicking that of non-anomalous children, with education in accordance with standard Foundation curriculum for child humanoid anomalies. Requests for toys, games and accessories are to be provided at the discretion of the dorm supervisor. Dorm supervisor is to organise for checkups on each instance with the site paediatrician not less than once every two months.
Description: SCP-2338 is a group of anomalous children between the ages of 8 and 15, recovered from Carson City, Nevada in 2010. All 23 instances of SCP-2338 wear homemade animal costumes that appear to be bonded to their bodies via an unknown procedure. Attempts to remove these costumes, surgically or otherwise, have met with failure in all instances, and are prohibited at this time. A number of children possess low-level anomalous abilities corresponding to the animal they are dressed as.
All instances of SCP-2338 lack noses, ears and mouths. Despite this, subjects show an unhindered capacity to smell, hear and taste. Instances are capable of gaining nutrition by touching suitable food to the mouths of their costumes, and appear to breathe in a similar fashion. As all instances are unable to speak, they have been taught ASL to ease communication.

Designation
Costume Description
Additional Notes

SCP-2338-1
Child is dressed as a ram. Costume is well-made. Torso consists of a sheet of black silk covered in cotton wool which has been spraypainted gold. Child wears large black papier mâché mask of a ram's head, complete with horns. Head lacks a lower jaw. Child wears black trousers and sleeves and feet are replaced with papier mâché hooves.
Bloodwork matches SCP-2338-1 to Jason Broad, reported missing 25/10/2010 at age 9.

SCP-2338-2
Child is dressed as a frog. Child wears green clothing, including green gloves with cloth webbing between fingers. Head is covered with a large papier mâché frog head featuring a long pink strip of cloth representing a tongue. 'Flies' made of crumpled black craft paper are glued to the tongue at semi-regular intervals.
Bloodwork matches SCP-2338-2 to Ermis Xanthopoulos, reported missing 31/10/2010 at age 11. SCP-2338-2 is semi-amphibious, capable of remaining underwater for up to twenty minutes before surfacing for air. SCP-2338-2 is extremely hindered in ASL by its webbed gloves, and is no longer allowed access to sharp objects following attempts to cut the webbing.

Containment Log 2338
MTF: ξ-12 ("Peculiar Yellow")
Date: Nov. 6, 2010
Location: Carson City, Nevada
Debrief: ξ-12 activated following a series of missing persons reports mentioning children "fading into the darkness" near the end of October in Eagle Valley. Investigation lead ξ-12 to suspect the involvement of a local sect of GoI-27F5 ("Our Stolen Future"), who have been involved in child kidnapping cases previously. A raid of the sect's headquarters at ██ Cardinal Way is authorised at 2330 hours on Nov. 5. Raid revealed twelve members of the sect and 23 children living within the basement. All members lacked mouths and seemed to be unable to communicate details of the sect's operaton. A note, addressed to "Brian", was found in the kitchen.

Brian -
They're on to you. The police, the FBI, whoever. I tried to snap them for you, but I still can't get this new camera working. There's no time to collect the models, just run. We were going to have to put them down anyway.
xxx.

Notes: The identity of Brian is not known, and could not be matched with any of the incarcerated members of GoI-27F5. It is believed at this time that the sender and receiver of this note are still at large. MTF-ξ-12 have been assigned the duty of seeking out these individuals (PoI-27F5-1 and 27F5-2) as well as any additional members of the sect.
Interview Log 2338-2

Date: 8/11/2010
Interviewed: SCP-2338-11
Interviewer: Junior Researcher Alistair Smeaton, Department of Humanoid Anomalies
Foreword: SCP-2338-11 was selected for interview due to its age and for ease of communication; SCP-2338-11 has been legally deaf since birth, and has existing ability in ASL, allowing it to communicate effectively despite lacking a mouth.
Dr. Smeaton: Hello, Jenny. I'm Al. How are you today?
SCP-2338-11: I'm lots better than yesterday. Are you my new doctor? Are you going to do more tests on me?
Dr. Smeaton: No, Jenny. I'm just here to talk about what happened to you. Do you want to talk about that?
SCP-2338-11 hesitates.
SCP-2338-11: Am I allowed to say no?
Dr. Smeaton: Of course you are, Jenny. How about we play a game and you can talk about whatever you want?
SCP-2338-11 selects Jenga from Dr. Smeaton's game box.
SCP-2338-11: I love this!
SCP-2338-11 and Dr. Smeaton begin to set up the tower. SCP-2338-11 attempts to use her additional costume limbs to place a piece atop the tower, knocking it over.
SCP-2338-11: Oh. I'm sorry. Do we have to stop now?
Dr. Smeaton: Why would we have to stop?
SCP-2338-11: My brother says if you knock it over while you're setting it up you're automatically the loser and you have to stop.
Dr. Smeaton: Well, that's not the rules in my office. You can knock it over as many times as you want and we'll still be able to play. Does that sound good?
SCP-2338-1: Um. How long am I going to be here? I've never been away from home this long before.
Dr. Smeaton: Unfortunately, we don't know how long it will be until you can go home. Hopefully soon.
SCP-2338-11: Okay. Um. Maybe if you beat me, I can tell you about what happened.
Dr. Smeaton: That sounds like a fun challenge.
They play Jenga for the next ten minutes. Dr. Smeaton loses on his fifth turn.
Dr. Smeaton: Well, drat. I really am hopeless at this.
SCP-2338-11: Heh heh.
SCP-2338-11 hesitates.
SCP-2338-11: Am I not allowed to tell you now?
Dr. Smeaton: You can tell me if you want to.
SCP-2338-11: I think I want to. It was scary, but it might help you fix us, right?
Dr. Smeaton: It will help us understand you. That might mean fixing you, but you know I can't promise anything.
SCP-2338-11: That's ok. Um. They had lots of cameras.
Dr. Smeaton: Who did? The people who kidnapped you?
SCP-2338-11: Um, yes, but they didn't kidnap me. They were just helping me with my costume.
Dr. Smeaton: What issues were you having with it?
SCP-2338-11 gestures to itself.
SCP-2338-11: It was stuck. I was out with my friends trick or treating, and then everything got dark and when I woke up it was stuck. They just wanted to help me get it off. They took lots of pictures, which I didn't like. They got angry when I wanted to go home. They said my mommy wouldn't want me when I was a spider.
SCP-2338-11 begins to sob, motions as if wiping nose on sleeve.
SCP-2338-11: Then they, um, they put me downstairs with the other kids. And they were all like me! I wasn't expecting that. And I knew Ermis from school, so-
Dr. Smeaton: What was that sign? Who?
SCP-2338-11 fingerspells.
SCP-2338-11: E-R-M-I-S. He's a frog now. Anyway, um, that's mostly it. The men with the yellow helmets came in and I tried to talk to them but they didn't understand sign and now I'm here.
Dr. Smeaton: Did you ever hear anyone being referred to as Brian?
SCP-2338-11: Yeah, Brian's the one who found me after everything went dark and my costume got stuck. He took the most pictures. I never saw him after they put me downstairs.
Dr. Smeaton: What did they say the pictures were for?
SCP-2338-11: Um. I'd like to stop talking about that now. Can we play another game?

Notes: While the interview ran for another half an hour, no important information was gleaned from it. In a subsequent interview, SCP-2338-11 was asked to draw a picture of Brian. Picture can be found within the file for PoI-27F5-1.
Incident 2013101904
On 19/10/2013, Site 19 E-Block suffered a major security breach, resulting in 30 casualties and 4 severe injuries. As we are currently incapable of interrogating the persons involved, their motivations are unknown. Investigation into the possible involvement of major GoIs is underway.

Interview Log 2338-32
Date: 20/10/2013
Interviewed: Ryoko Sato
Interviewer: Dr. Ziemowit Blazejewski, Director of Humanoid Containment, Site 19.
Foreword: Ms. Sato is the assigned supervisor and tutor for SCP-2338 instances. Interview occurs in room 7, A&E department, Site 19, following Incident 2013101904.
Ms. Sato: Hey, Zee. Y-you're here to talk about the kids, right?
Dr. Blazejewski: Right.
Ms. Sato: What do you need to know?
Dr. Blazejewski: Anything that seems relevant, Ryoko. We just need your side of the story, for the records.
Ms. Sato: Ok, yes, I can do that. They, um… Should I talk about the morning, or just skip to-
Dr. Blazejewski: The morning sounds like a good starting point. How were the kids?
Ms. Sato: They were… antsy. That's normal when their checkups are coming up, though. Lots of them get uncomfortable or anxious around the other doctors, some of them are just excited to get out of the dorm. I do what I can, but they're still cooped up in there, you know?
Ms Sato begins to cough.
Dr. Blazejewski: Do you need me to get you anything, Ryoko? Water?
Ms. Sato: No, no, I'm fine. Just… hard to speak. How's your sign?
Dr. Blazejewski: I'll keep up.
Ms. Sato switches to a combination of ASL and JSL.
Ms. Sato: I decided, given the mood of the classroom, I'd put aside the intended class for the day, long division, and do something that would let them talk more. We went through an introduction to the Stonewall riots, I let them talk about whether or not violent protest was morally justifiable. Jenny, uh, SCP-2338-11, made a great point about how violence only begets more violence, but Hiawatha, 2338-20, talked about the need for demonstrative violence to disrupt corrupt systems. I felt like, um, things were going well, they were fuelling their energies into… Like they were fuelling their energy into thinking about the class, which is good. Sorry, I'm rambling. This is hard to talk about. Oh God. Are the kids…
Dr. Blazejewski: I'm not able to discuss the children right now, Ryoko. We need to get your statement first.
Ms. Sato: Oh God. Oh God. [Unintelligible due to shaking hands]
Ms. Sato takes a deep breath and flaps her hands. Dr. Blazejewski places his hand on her knee.
Ms. Sato: It was about half eleven, I was just about to move on to tectonic plates, continental drift. I'd heard the children talking about how cool volcanoes were last week, thought I'd treat them. I'd brought in a box full of materials for making model volcanoes, had it hidden behind my desk.
Ms. Sato smiles briefly and squeezes Dr. Blazejewski's hand. She swallows heavily, grimacing, then continues.
Ms. Sato: There was loud noise, in the hall outside. Three gunshots. Bang, bang, bang. The kids started panicking. They'd have been screaming if they had mouths. I felt like I should be screaming, too. I got them quiet - teacher voice works wonders in any situation - then I got them lined up and we headed toward their bunks. I think I told them it was a drill. I don't know if they believed me, especially since they'd seen me hit the panic button to start the alarm. I tried to move fast, but I didn't want to panic them. I could have moved faster if-
Dr. Blazejewski: We know you did everything you could, Ryoko. Please don't punish yourself for this. It's not your fault in any way.
Ms. Sato: I know that, rationally. I just can't stop thinking about the things I could have done, Zee.
Dr. Blazejewski: We lost seven staff today, most of them directly under me. Trust me, Ryoko, I know exactly how you're feeling. Our line of work, most people here go through something like this in their time here.
Dr. Blazejewski hands Ms. Sato a tissue.
Dr. Blazejewski: We can stop here if you need, Ryoko.
Ms. Sato: No, it's ok. Where was I? I was bringing them toward their bunks. When we were in the common room, I took a headcount. Only 22 kids. We were missing Jenny. Jenny, she's distractable. Gets so buried in what she's doing. Plus, yknow, she's deaf. Wouldn't have heard the gunshots. I told the kids to, um, go to their rooms and not come out until I came back for them. Then I ran to the classroom. Jenny had realised everyone was gone, I guess. Wasn't there. So I went to the playroom. She was looking for us in the hallway, near the entrance. There were two men standing behind her. One had a gun. I couldn't call out to her. I couldn't do anything…
Ms. Sato covers her mouth with her left hand, holding back sobs. She continues to fingerspell with her right hand.
Ms. Sato: T-H-E-Y S-H-O-T H-E-R.
Dr. Blazajewski fetches Ms. Sato a glass of water. Ms. Sato slowly sips it and calms down enough to continue.
Ms. Sato: After they… after Jenny, they started heading down the hallway toward me. They hadn't seen me, so I had a second or two to hide. I tried to hide behind my desk, forgot I had all the volcano-making stuff there. They saw me the second they came in. I tried to run, but they caught me. Demanded to know where the kids were. Said I wasn't an "aberration", they wouldn't kill me if I cooperated.
Dr. Blazejewski: So, did you..?
Ms. Sato: Fuck no. They were there to kill the kids. I knew the longer I delayed things the more chance security would get there in time to help. The security they hadn't already killed. When they realised I wasn't going to play nice, they shot me in the stomach and went searching. I could see they were headed in the general direction of the dorms, so I tried to get up, but the pain… It was unbearable. So I crawled. Dragged myself along on my side. Didn't have a plan, just… I don't know, I guess I still had it in my head I could stop them. Maybe if security arrived I could yell, get them there faster. Maybe I…
Ms. Sato rubs her face.
Ms. Sato: I don't know. They got there before me. I heard four gunshots, then a pause. Three more. More and more. I was crying, I think, but I was still pulling myself along. When I got to the common room, they were still there, going through each bunk. Shooting at the kids inside. I tried to shout for them to run. I guess Tommy heard me. 2338-1. He and Hiawatha made a break for it. Gunmen heard me too, though, I guess. Shot them too. Then they saw me. That must have been when they shot me in the neck.
Ms. Sato raises her hand to her neck cast.
Dr. Blazejewski: Do you remember anything afterward? Before security arrived?
Ms. Sato: Not much, Zee. I wasn't able to see anything, I was blacking out, but I heard one of the men screaming, the other falling to the ground. The gunshots stopped. I started to feel like I was drowning, the air was thick and soupy. And then I was rising. Up, up, up… I felt warm, safe, protected. I felt like if I'd died right there it would have been ok.
Ms. Sato shrugs
Ms. Sato: And that's it. That's all I remember. Can you tell me about the kids now, Zee? Are they… are any of them-
Dr. Blazejewski: There's one survivor.
Ms. Sato: One?!
Dr. Blazejewski: Ryoko, I'm so sorry. It's clear you went above and beyond-
Ms. Sato: Who?
Dr. Blazejewski: What?
Ms. Sato: Which child?
Dr. Blazejewski: 2338-14.
Ms. Sato nods
Ms. Sato: Sun-hee. Sun-hee is alive.
Ms. Sato: OK.

SCP- ███ within its containment tank.

Item #: SCP-███
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-███ is to be contained within a water tank suitable for SCP-███'s size. The air outside of SCP-███'s tank is to be kept at an absolute humidity of < 0.001. Consistent water flow is to be maintained within the tank to mimic tidal conditions. Live fish and prawns are to be introduced twice a day for feeding. Personnel entering the tank are to exercise extreme caution in avoiding contact with any parts of SCP-███.
Description: SCP-███ is an unusually large black sea nettle jellyfish1, approximately 40 foot long, with anomalous swimming capacity. SCP-███ is capable of moving through any substances with greater than ~0.5% water per volume as if it were water. SCP-███ is hostile toward humans, and will seek to attack any who enter its containment chamber. As it is not capable of moving through glass, SCP-███ poses no threat to those not entering the tank. SCP-███'s tentacles produce a potent venom that can lead to extreme pain, cardiac arrest and death if not treated2.
Containment Log SCP-███
On 17/1/1997, several reports of an extremely large jellyfish around Wellstead, Australia prompted MTF-ψ-3 ("Without A Paddle") to investigate. Upon arrival, several large jellyfish matching this description were found moving through the ground within the bay. Containment achieved on one instance with the use of drying agents and digging equipment following four civilian casualties.
SCP-███, the largest of the instances, showed great distress upon the death of other instances, becoming notably more hostile. ψ-3 used this predictable behaviour to lure SCP-███ into a hyperdry area achieved with drying agents, effectively drowning it. A water tank was then built around the weakened SCP-███ to fully encapsulate it.
Incident 2013101904
On 19/10/2013, Site 19 E-Block suffered a major security breach, resulting in 30 casualties and 4 severe injuries. As we are currently incapable of interrogating the persons involved, their motivations are unknown. Investigation into the possible involvement of major GoIs is underway.

CAMERA FEED, SITE 19 CONTAINMENT CELL ███, 19/10/2013
1100: SCP-███ is dormant in its tank.
1123: SCP-███ begins to move slowly towards the top of its tank.
1130: An alarm sounds from another sector. SCP-███ spins in place and begins to move quickly, attempting to move through the glass of its tank. This activates a small alarm, which is ignored due to an emergency in E block. SCP-███ is unable to move through the glass.
1131: SCP-███ rams the glass of its tank, forming a crack. SCP-███ rams again, breaking the glass. Water floods containment chamber. SCP begins to move in fast circles, stirring the water as it drains.
1132: SCP-███ swims upwards, moving through the ceiling of the containment chamber.
1140: SCP-███ returns through the ceiling of the containment chamber and moves to the central point of the room.
1201: Drains are opened in containment chamber, allowing flooded water to subside.
1205: Several personnel step into SCP-███'s chamber and converse among themselves.
1234: SCP-███ moves downwards, toward the personnel. They begin to panic.
1235: SCP-███ deposits 23 bodies on the floor and returns to the centre point of the room.
1310: Personnel leave containment chamber with bodies on stretchers.

CAMERA FEED, SITE 19 E-BLOCK LOW SECURITY DORM, 19/10/2013
1130: Two armed men enter the common room.
1131: Men begin to open common room doors leading to bedrooms and fire within.
1132: A woman appears in the entrance to the common room. She is on the ground, and bleeding profusely. The woman calls out.
1133: Two children run out from an unopened door, towards the woman. Both men turn and gun down the children. One man returns to opening bedroom doors, while the other approaches the woman and shoots her in the throat.
1134: A shadow is cast over the room. Several dozen metre-long tentacles move through the wall and begin exploring the room, moving toward the gunmen. They reach the first man and wrap around him. He calls out.
1135: The second man turns around, raising his gun. A single tentacle moves quickly, through his brain. He falls to the ground silently.
1136: SCP-███ enters the room, obscuring the camera.
1137: SCP exits the room, leaving behind only the bodies of the two gunmen.

Proposed article, to be instated in SCP-2338 slot as of 27/12/2013

Item #: SCP-2338
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2338-A and SCP-2338-B are to be contained within a custom reinforced airtight water tank suitable for SCP-2338-A's size. Consistent water flow is to be maintained within the tank to mimic tidal conditions. Live fish and prawns are to be introduced twice a day for feeding. A large tube is to be inserted into SCP-2338-A from below its bell for transportation of mice, rats, blood samples, writing materials and homework assignments. Personnel entering the tank are to exercise extreme caution in avoiding contact with any parts of SCP-2338-A.
SCP-2338-B has been instructed to present itself for lessons at 10AM EST every day. Failure to arrive within 15 minutes of this time is to be reported to SCP-2338-B's handler immediately. SCP-2338-B is to provide bloodwork on the 1st and 15th of each month.
Description: SCP-2338-A is an unusually large black sea nettle jellyfish3, approximately 13 metres long, with anomalous swimming capacity. SCP-2338-A is capable of moving through any substances with greater than ~0.5% water per volume as if it were water. SCP-2338-A has shown the capacity to interact physically with these substances, seemingly at will. SCP-2338-A is no longer hostile toward humans, but will react defensively to any perceived threat upon it or SCP-2338-B. SCP-2338-A's tentacles produce a potent venom that can lead to extreme pain, cardiac arrest and death if not treated4.
SCP-2338-B is a 12 year old girl of Korean descent who has been biologically modified to resemble a child wearing a brightly-coloured owl costume. SCP-2338-B's physique requires it to be provided with live prey in order to gain proper nutrition and it is provided with vitamin supplements and medications due to health issues.
SCP-2338-B currently resides within the bell of SCP-2338-A. Both SCP-2338-A and SCP-2338-B seem to benefit from this, with SCP-2338-B requiring less medication to regulate her hormone production and SCP-2338-A having ceased containment breach attempts and generally become more docile. SCP-2338-B does not seem to be affected by SCP-2338-A's stinging venom, and reports through ASL that she is quite content with her situation. SCP-2338-B signs SCP-2338-A as an altered "safe" sign5 incorporating a downward-facing palm with wiggling fingers. When asked to spell this, SCP-2338-B fingerspelled E-O-M-I (어미), a Korean word meaning "incubator" or "mother".

Item #: SCP-2339
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Due to its size and fragility, SCP-2339-1 is to be kept within the original site of its discovery, which has been refurbished and designated Provisional Site-124. Weekly, the main auditorium is to be provided with the appropriate instruments and equipment of a modern philharmonic orchestra, and SCP-2339-2 allowed to perform. SCP-2339-2 are to be provided with a constant supply of nectar. All personnel entering the containment room must wear full bee-keeping gear, and at least one professional Foundation apiarist must be present on the site at all times.
Description: SCP-2339 is the collective designation for an anomalously large Bombus terrestris (buff-tailed bumblebee) nest and the bees residing within. SCP-2339-1 is the nest itself, measuring nearly 32m across. In comparison, a standard European bumblebee nest has a maximum capacity of 400 bees, and is far smaller. Aside from its size, SCP-2339-1 shows no other anomalous properties.
SCP-2339-2 refers to the inhabitants of SCP-2339-1, numbering approximately 85,000 bees. These bees live for just over a month, as is normal for the species, and produce young at a rate equal to the rate of death. The bees appear to be normal, showing no signs of increased intelligence or other anomalous properties, until presented with musical instruments. SCP-2339-2 work together as a group to play the instruments, through plucking, pressing keys, manipulating bows or drumsticks, and buzzing their wings to produce an airflow. Through these methods, SCP-2339-2 are extremely skilled in performing music, usually of the classical genre. SCP-2339-2 seem to prefer performing together as an orchestra. Around half of the bees play the instruments or act as the conductor, whilst the remaining half wait to replace bees who have become fatigued. Around 100 bees, including the queen, form a cluster around and manipulate a conductor's baton in order to conduct the orchestra. SCP-2339-2 appear to be able to perform once reaching maturity.
If the bees are unable to play instruments for a period of time, they become lethargic before falling ill and eventually dying. Allowing them to play as a full orchestra weekly has proved sufficient for preventing this.
SCP-2339-2 seem to play a seemingly random selection of classical music, however, they will always include Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" in their performance. SCP-2339-2 have a wide knowledge of many pieces of music, and when presented with new sheet music learn it at an extremely fast rate.
SCP-2339 was first discovered during a building inspection before the scheduled demolition of the abandoned ██████ Concert Hall, ██████. The nest was found to be present in the main auditorium of the building, and reported by the inspector due to its size. The Foundation learned of this through an informant in the local council and sent an agent to investigate, who discovered the anomaly during a performance. Similarities between the anomalous phenomenon observed in SCP-2339 and that of SCP-2849 have been noted. An investigation into a potentially shared origin is ongoing.

Item #: SCP-2340
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Volcanoes are to be monitored for increased activity, which may signify an emergence event. If possible, seismological monitoring stations are to track SCP-2340 instances at risk of emergence. Civilians are to be notified that the containment areas are subject to frequent seismic and volcanic activity, and thus is off limits. Civilian reports of SCP-2340 are to be dismissed as rock slides caused by tremors. Personnel interacting with SCP-2340 are to wear standard foundation heat resistant gear. Approximately 16 hours after a SCP-2340 instance emerges, members of Mobile Task force Epsilon-9 (Fire Eaters) are to remove SCP 2340-A from SCP-2340 by spraying the body with water cooler than 20 degrees Celsius and cutting out SCP-2340-A.
Description: SCP-2340 designates a species of mineral based organisms which appear to be capable of living in the earth's mantle. The body of SCP-2340 instances are composed of a central ovoid with 4 fins around the center. At the end of each fin is a smaller ovaloid, with a 1-5 proportion to the main body. SCP 2340 does not appear to have a front or back, and is capable of locomotion in multiple directions. Instances do not possess any distinguishable reproductive or sensory organs other than 2 holes roughly 5 meters in radius in its main shell. The mean length is typically 300 meters long, with a mean diameter of 100 meters. However, instances that range up to a kilometer have been noted.
SCP-2340's life is apparently centered around the intake and absorption of magma, with multiple organs connecting to the main intake orifices for processing and refining of magma. These organs connect to valves and pipes similar in function to the human heart, which transport magma. Magma refined by their organs apparently functions as blood for SCP-2340 instances, which die when the magma hardens. SCP-2340 also appears to be capable of propelling high pressure lava from its orifices as a reactive measure. This also appears to be their main form of propulsion within the mantle. However, when above the crust this typically causes accelerated cooling of SCP-2340 instances. For more information on SCP-2340's life cycle, see Addendum 1.
The minerals which SCP-2340 are made up of appear similar in structure and composition to quartz, although they are noted to have significantly higher heat resistance and durability. The outer structure appears similar in arrangement to rectangular armored plating, and individual plates overlap each other. Most of the minerals have been tested to have heat resistance of at least 1200 degrees Celsius, although they are prone to fracture and damage at under 40 degrees Celsius.
SCP-2340 instances are only found near areas currently experiencing large amounts of volcanic eruptions. Using seismological monitoring stations, SCP-2340 instances can be tracked as they ascend towards fault lines. Usually, SCP-2340 instances will hesitate before emerging, and often head back into the mantle. However, occasionally an SCP-2340 instance will suddenly rush towards the magma vent, where it will be be carried along by the magma currents and be unable to escape. Due to the blockage caused by struggling SCP-2340 instances, the volcano will experience lull periods, followed by a significantly larger blast, eventually pushing the SCP-2340 instance out. SCP-2340 instances will usually struggle and show signs of distress after being expelled, showing an unwillingness to remain in contact with the air. Oftentimes, an SCP-2340 instance will attempt to crawl back into the volcano. This has only succeeded once, with SCP-2340-19 reentering the mantle. (See addendum 1) SCP-2340 instances generally survive for only a day outside the crust, after which the internal magma flow begins to slow down and harden. Eventually, once SCP-2340 dies it will be covered in sediment and absorbed into the surrounding environment.
Approximately 2 hours before dying, SCP-2340 instances will often produce an electromagnetic pulse by rapidly pumping magma past an organ (designated SCP-2340-A) located near the center of their mass. This is hypothesized to be a distress call, as volcanoes which have SCP-2340 produce such pulses generally are 10% more likely to have another emergence event than a volcano not marked. In order to prevent more SCP-2340 instances from emerging, members of Mobile Task force Epsilon-9 (Fire Eaters) are to surgically remove SCP-2340-A from the main body roughly 16 hours after emergence. By cooling down a section with water, the body can be cracked and broken apart. However, because internal magma will still be liquid as this point, care must be taken to not disturb the main arteries. After 24 hours, internal magma will have cooled to the degree that a full autopsy can be safely carried out.
Incident 2340-507: On ██/█/20██, SCP-2340-19 emerged from Mt. ████████ in Indonesia. During its 4 hours above surface, it continuously dug at the sides of the mountain. At 16:43 hrs, Mt. ████████ erupted again due to collapse of the caldera. Afterwards, SCP-2340-8 was no longer present, and Mt. ████████ has not experienced another emergence event. This is the only known case of an SCP-2340 instances successfully returning. (See Addendum 1)
Addendum 1: During the dissections of SCP-2340-5 and SCP-2340-21, smaller instances of SCP-2340 was discovered, designated SCP-2340-5b and SCP-2340-21b. SCP-2340-5b was 25 meters long, and was found in a chamber (Designated SCP-2340-B) connected to the main orifices. SCP-2340-B possessed notably cooler temperatures than the rest of the body, and is hypothesized to be a birthing chamber. At the time of its discovery, SCP-2340-5b was composed of incompletely crystallized magma. The outer shell had not yet begun to form, and a flexible umbilical cord connected it to SCP-2340-5. 4 hours after discovery, SCP-2340-5b died and was dissected.
SCP-2340-21b was roughly 50 meters long, and was discovered in the same position in SCP-2340-21. The umbilical cord was still present, but was no longer attached. SCP-2340-21b had fully formed plating, and was apparently capable of using the magma ingested by SCP-2340-21 for self sustainment. After discovery, the containment team was given permission to attempt rehabilitation of SCP-2340-21-b, which was still alive at the time. SCP-2340-21 was removed to a higher portion of the caldera, and cut apart. SCP-2340-21-b then removed itself from SCP-2340-21, and after re-submerging, has not been seen since.
