Item #: SCP-4338
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Glass or silicia-based materials are not allowed in the containment unit or within 50 m of SCP-4338. Personnel that have been affected by SCP-4338 will be quarantined and treated at Site-17 in a secure, glass/silicia-free room.
All three objects should be continued to be stored at different sites. Under no circumstances should any of the objects be placed in the same room (see notes on Experiment 4338-K, Addendum 4).
- SCP-4338-1 SCP-4338-1 is stored at Site-19 under a green plastic dome in a standard containment unit with no windows. Personnel interacting with SCP-4338-1 are required to be red-green color blind, or wear protective goggles that filter out the 495–570 nm band of visible light.
- SCP-4338-2 SCP-4338-2 is stored at Site-28 under a red plastic dome in a standard containment unit with no windows. All video and photographs of SCP-4338-2 are classified, and no further video or photographs or SCP-4338-2 are allowed without explicit permission from Class-B personnel or above. The temperature of the containment unit should be controlled at 15°C. Any personnel interacting with SCP-4338-2 must be red-green color blind, or wear protective goggles that filter out the 625–740 nm band of visible light, and are limited to 20 minutes maximum exposure to the object.
- SCP-4338-3 SCP-4388-3 is stored at Site-███ in a windowless, concrete room, and should be covered by an opaque ceramic bowl surrounded by a Faraday cage. Two security personnel should be posted outside the containment unit at all times. The door to enter the unit requires two keys to open, and both keys are stored off-site. Requests to experiment with SCP-4338-3 must be approved by personnel with Level 4 clearance.
Description:
SCP-4338 is a group of three glass cat figurines. Each has a hypnotic effect when viewed directly, with varying levels of severity.
SCP-4338-1 is a green glass figurine in the shape of a cat, approximately 33 cm tall, 45 cm long, and 20 cm wide.
When a subject views SCP-4338-1 directly, the subject believes the object is a obese orange tabby cat, and is immediately enamored by the cat. Subjects will talk lovingly to the cat and always refer to the object using masculine pronouns. After 5-10 minutes of interaction, subjects will become overwhelming concerned with providing food for SCP-4338-1. Upon leaving the sight line of SCP-4338-1, subjects will fall to the floor, convulse, and eventually fall into a coma. The coma will last between 3-14 days, and upon waking, almost all subjects1 will awaken with no memory of interacting with a cat.
No visual change of SCP-4338-1 is observed on video monitors during an event. SCP-4338-1 does not move, and the subjects make no attempt to touch or pick up SCP-4338-1. When food is already provided in the room, effected subjects will insist on procuring different food.
SCP-4338-1 is slightly radioactive. It emits a constant 2.02 mSv/a, more than double normal background radiation. When a subject is interacting with the object, the radiation increases to 4.17 mSv/a. When handling SCP-4338-1, radiation protection is recommended, but not required. The composition of SCP-4338-1 is ordinary soda-lime glass with chromium added. No abnormal or radioactive constituents have been identified.
Viewing photographs or video of SCP-4338-1 produces no abnormal effect. Viewing the object with lenses that filter the 495–570 nm (green) band of visible light also negates any effect.2
SCP-4338-2 is a red glass figurine of a cat. SCP-4338-2 is a 37% scale model of SCP-4338-1. It is an almost exact duplicate of SCP-4338-1, except for its color and size.
SCP-4338-2 was created during Incident 4338-1 when subject D-2003 awoke, having previously been comatose from exposure to SCP-4388-1.3 Upon waking, D-2003 immediately barricaded himself in his room, and ground up all available glass. He then began molding a smaller version of SCP-4338-1 using an oxygen tank as a heat source.4 D-2003 completed creating SCP-4338-2 before security personnel could breach the room. Security personnel declared D-2003 deceased upon entering. Although D-2003 had severe lacerations and 2nd to 3rd degree burns, those injuries were not found to be the cause of death.
When a subject comes into visual range of SCP-4338-2, the subject believes they see an average-sized grey tabby cat wearing a blue collar. The subjects become immediately concerned with finding the owner of the cat. Subjects can read a name and address on the collar, but will not share the information with researchers. The subjects are then compelled to reach the destination, forgoing food, drink, and sleep. The first two security personnel to be affected by SCP-4338-2 escaped containment of Site-17. One was reclaimed after driving ███ miles south-east. The second was found ███ miles away, and had died from exhaustion and/or exposure. His car had run out of fuel, and he had walked approximately 85 miles before collapsing. The body was found approximately three days later. While the body was in an area with a number of indigenous scavengers, no animals attempted to eat the carcass, nor did any insects attempt to colonize the corpse.
Viewing the object with unfiltered video or photographs will cause the same reaction as seeing the object in person. Viewing the object through 625–740 nm filters to block the red spectrum of visible light inhibits the effect. However, subjects viewing the filtered object feel a general malaise, which will lead to nausea after ~30 minutes of exposure, and trembling of the extremities after ~1 hour. This also applies to red-green color-blind subjects.
SCP-4338-2 is constantly 10.4°C above ambient temperature. This figure has been tested at room temperatures from -100°C to 85°C. The temperature increases to 15.5°C when a subject has been activated by it, and decreases only when the subject has perished or has been treated with class-B amnestics. Its composition is mainly borosilicate glass with copper added. It has an unusually high amount of the element praseodymium, and its source is unknown.
SCP-4338-3 is an incomplete glass figurine of a cat. Based on infrared scans, it is 37% scale model of SCP-4338-2, but missing an ear and its tail. Its color is assumed to be blue based on materials found at the scene. However, researchers have been unable to view it directly or indirectly.
SCP-4338-3 was created as a result of Incident 4338-2. Due to containment procedures relating to Incident ███-2, security officer Richard █████ was held over for a triple shift in the security monitoring room at Site-28. One security monitor showed a filtered video of SCP-4338-2 for 1 minute at a time every 20 minutes. After 22 hours, officer █████ suddenly started smashing all monitors in the security office and collecting the glass. He barricaded himself in the security office, similar to Incident 4338-1, and used electrical heat sources to mold the glass. Due to the heightened security already present, other security officers were able to breach the room within 13 minutes. Upon breaching, officer █████ screamed, "I need to finish!" and furiously attacked the other officers. Despite being of average height and build, and having no weapons, officer █████ killed two officers, and severely injured a third. Lethal force was authorized, and officer █████ was neutralized. Dr. Oskar Heinrich was on site, and correlated the incident with SCP-4338-1 and SCP-4338-2, allowing proper containment before further incidents occurred.
When viewing SCP-4338-3, the subject believes they see an large black domestic cat that is missing its left ear and its tail. The cat appears to be sapient and capable of speech. SCP-4338-3 will begin to instruct the subject on how to make a glass figurine of a cat. The subjects are not fazed by the presence of a talking cat, and will start to follow its instructions after some goading. Subjects will then become violently obsessed with finding glass-making materials. The compulsion can only be abated by class-A amnestics.
Viewing videos or photographs of SCP-4338-3 will cause the subjects to innately know the precise location of SCP-4338-3, and become compelled to reach the object. Two Class-C researchers from Site-28 were exposed to a photograph of SCP-4338-3, and attempted to breach containment of SCP-4338-3 on ██/██/██, but were halted through prescribed containment procedures. All video and photography of SCP-4338-3 has been classified, and can only be released through authorization from personnel with Level 4 clearance.
SCP-4338-3 produces a weak modulating signal in the 100.8-101.0 MHz range, which repeats every 32 seconds. All attempts to understand and/or decode the signal have thus far failed. The signal increases approximately 500% when a subject is under its influence, but the modulation stays constant during these events.
All attempts to study the composition of SCP-4338-3 have resulted in damage to analyzing equipment and/or nonsensical results. For example, one seemingly successful NMR test showed a nearly 50/50 composition of technetium and ytterbium, while an IR spectroscopy test showed that SCP-4338-3 was composed completely of rubidium. No silicates could be detected.
[NAME REDACTED] was a paranoid schizophrenic who was self-medicating with a drug called Pallizine purchased on the dark web. Evidence taken from his home suggest [NAME REDACTED] spent an entire week molding various animals out of glass, then took his own life. The Foundation has been unable to identify the drug or locate the seller. A suicide note simply read, "It should not have worked."
Addendum 1: The following is an excerpt from a experiment 4338-E. D-2387 was placed in the same containment unit at SCP-4338-1, with Dr. Oskar Heinrich communicating with D-2387 via an audio device in the subject's ear.
Dr. Heinrich: D-2387, you are about to enter the containment unit. I would like to remind you that there is no living cat in the unit.
D-2387: Yeah, you already told me that. It doesn't matter, I don't even like cats.
Dr. Heinrich: OK. Please enter the unit.
D-2387: [Enters unit] Well, hello pretty boy! Look at you! Hey Doc, you were wrong, there is a cat in here.
Dr. Heinrich: I see. Can you describe the cat?
D-2387: Can't you see it? There's a camera in the corner.
Dr. Heinrich: Please just describe the cat.
D-2387: Fine. He's orange, and he's got stripes, kinda like Garfield. And he's a chubby boy. [directed at object] But that's OK big fella, you are such a cutie pie.
Dr. Heinrich: What does his fur feel like?
D-2387: Oh, he doesn't like to be touched.
Dr. Heinrich: How do you know that? Did he say anything?
D-2387: Hah. A talking cat. That's rich. You've been watching too much TV, Doc.
Dr. Heinrich: D-2387, how do you know he doesn't want to be touched?
D-2387: [ignores question, begins to speak unintelligible baby-talk to SCP-4338-1]
Dr. Heinrich: D-2387, please respond. D-2387, can you hear me?
NOTE: Nine minutes pass before D-2387 uses recognizable speech.
D-2387: You must be so hungry, big guy! I'm going to get you some food.
Dr. Heinrich: D-2387, there is food and water on the table behind you.
D-2387: He doesn't like that food. I'm going to get him something better. [tries to open door to containment unit] Hey, someone open the door! This cat needs food! [begins pounding on door]
Dr. Heinrich: All right, send in the team.
D-2387: [door opens] Oh thank God. Woah, why are you wearing those crazy green googles? Hey, let me go, the cat is going to starve! LET ME GO! [starts screaming]
Class-C amnestics were applied to D-2387 while within the unit, and then removed. Convulsions and coma were prevented through this treatment protocol.
Addendum 2: The following is an excerpt from Experiment 4338-J. D-2459 was placed in the same containment unit at SCP-4338-2, with similar experimental conditions to Experiment 4338-E.
Dr. Heinrich: D-2459, please enter the containment unit.
D-2459: Ok, going in.
D-2459: Oh, there's a cat in here.
Dr. Heinrich: D-2459, can you describe the cat?
D-2459: Huh?
Dr. Heinrich: D-2459, please describe the cat you are seeing.
D-2459: Uh, OK. It's grey with darker gray stripes. It has a blue collar. And a tag on the collar. It looks lost.
Dr. Heinrich: What does the collar say?
D-2459: It has a name and address on it.
Dr. Heinrich: What is the name and address?
D-2459: I'm sorry little guy, you got separated from your owner. Don't worry, I'll find him for you.
Dr. Heinrich: D-2387, tell me the name and address on the tag.
D-2459: What? Oh, I can take care of it. Just let me out of here and I'll find him.
Dr. Heinrich: I need you to say the name and address.
D-2459: [starts pounding on door] Hey, someone open this door! I have to go!
D-2459 stopped responding to researchers, and continued yelling and pounding on the door. After 5 minutes, D-2459 went mute, and repeatedly tried turning the doorknob. Viewings of the video show nearly identical facial and body movements for the next hour. Upon opening the door, D-2459 did not react to security personnel, and always attempted to face south-east when restrained. Class-B amnestics were applied, but several courses were required.
Addendum 3: The following are audio logs from the security room pertaining to Incident 4338-2.
Dr. Heinrich: Goddamnit, this is a mess. Officers, get these bodies to a quarantine room.
Officer Zhou: Yes sir. Shit, this one still alive!
Dr. Heinrich: Well, that's some good news. Take him to the secure hospital wing. Then get these corpses out here.
Officer Zhou: Doctor, this doesn't look related to SCP-███.
Dr. Heinrich: I agree. Quarantine everyone just the same, I don't want these bodies to start [REDACTED] all over the place.
Officer Zhou: What about Richard's body? He's still inside the security room.
Dr. Heinrich: You are going to have to get it.
Officer Zhou: Me? By myself?
Dr. Heinrich: Yes, by yourself. I don't want a whole group of guards murdering everyone here.
Officer Zhou: [sighs] OK. Heading in.
Dr. Heinrich: Wait Hector. Officers Sanders and Binotti, prepare for Protocol-██.
Officer Zhou: Protocol-██?! Isn't that a bit extreme?
Dr. Heinrich: I'm just being prepared.
Officer Zhou: All right, I'm in the room. I see Richard's body.
Dr. Heinrich: Do you see anything else?
Officer Zhou: Yeah, there is something moving on the ground. Oh, it's just a cat. Poor guy is missing an ear and tail.
Dr. Heinrich: Did he just say cat?
Officer Sanders: Yes sir, I believe he did.
Officer Zhou: Hi kitty. Oh, I didn't know you could talk. I hope the ear and tail thing didn't offend you.
Dr. Heinrich: Hector, please confirmed that you are in fact talking to a cat.
Officer Zhou: No, I've never molded glass before. It looks difficult. [pauses] This seems like a weird place to melt glass.
Dr. Heinrich: Hector, I need you to acknowledge you can hear me.
Officer Zhou: Who, him? That guy is kinda my boss. [laughs] You're right, he is annoying.
Dr. Heinrich: Can someone confirm that the video feed for SCP-4338-2 goes to this room?
Officer Sanders: Hold on. Yes, we can confirm that.
Dr. Heinrich: Shit. OK, activate Protocol-██. And someone get a robot drone for containment.
Officer Zhou: So, I just grind up the glass and then melt it? That's not too hard.
Officer Hector was successfully contained before attempting to mold glass, but had to be restrained at all times. Class-B Amnestics did not diminish his desire to find SCP-4338-3. Class-C amnestics were applied.
Addendum 4: Experiment 4338-K involved placing SCP-4338-1 and SCP-4338-2 in the same room. Once both objects were in view of one another, an intense vibrational force began emanating from the mid-point between the objects. The force began with a radius of 10 m, but the radius and intensity grew arithmetically. Experiment was ended at 37 seconds, before significant damage occurred to Site-19. The radioactivity and temperature anomalies of the objects increased 10-fold during the event.
Addendum 5: Excerpt from Dr. Heinrich's memorandum regarding the status of SCP-4338:
Based on the escalating nature of SCP-4338, it is my recommendation that all experiments involving SCP-4338-3 should cease. The prevention of a potential SCP-4338-4 should be a level 9 priority.
