Dr Tao's untimely death serves as a reminder for the consequences of miscommunication within Personnel. It is for this reason that I open the document to all Personnel who have clearance above Class 2, additionally I will include features which I privately had passed to Dr Tao which at that point I had found it to be in his best interest. I know about the rumours between me and Dr Tao's death and I remind everyone that the we serve the best interest of the Foundation. Including the O5s. Including me. - Site Director of Site-███
An instance SCP-3865 inside containment Please note that photographs taken of SCP-3865 are not anomalous
Item #: SCP-3865
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-3865 are to be contained within inside a sealed cell measuring 2 metres wide, 2 metres high and 6 metres long. This Cell is to be suspended above the ground by four chains connected to four corners of a room 4 metres wide 4 metres high and 8 metres long. A distance of at least one metre is to be placed between the cell and the walls at all times.
A laser detection grid as well as a camera system is to be placed within the room. The camera system is to be observed by a Class-D Personnel who is to report any damage done to the cell or any instances of SCP-3865 outside of containment.
Four cameras are to be placed at the four corners of the Room. These cameras are to send delayed footage by 1 second to four monitors. A Level 2 Security Personnel is to be observing the camera feed at all times to ensure that SCP-3865 does not escape or that the containment area is not accessed by unauthorised Personnel.
Four Class-D Personnel are to observe monitors relaying delayed footage from four corners of the room. This is to ensure that SCP-3865 does not escape or that DR TAO OR ANY PERSONNEL DOES NOT ENTER THE CONTAINMENT AREA.
Four Class-D Personnel are to be place in a separate room adjacent to the containment chamber and are to be forcefully placed in a Chair in order to monitor the room's activity 24/7 through a one way mirror. The Chair is designed to force the Class-D Personnel's head to constantly face the room and a Class A anaesthetic is to be delivered through their arm every 10 seconds. A button is to be placed at the side of the Chair in order to allow the Class-D Personnel to report a containment breach. Class-D Personnel are to be replaced every month.
A tape with the following instructions is to be set on loop and played to the Class-D Personnel.
"If you any suspicious moving person or articles please inform our staff or press the emergency communication button."
Description: SCP-3865 are a group wooden monk statues of unknown origin. The mechanism by which it moves is currently unknown as it's legs do not leave the small stone structure when it does. However SCP-3865 produce a set of hands in order to [DATA EXPUNGED] (see below) SCP-3865 produces a vocalisation similar to the sound of a old human laughing. This laugh will be heard within a 2 metre radius of any instance of SCP-3865 regardless of capability of hearing (see below). Additionally when SCP-3865 produces the vocalisation it's upper body structure moves up and down with it's lower body structure maintaining it's position, similar to a person does when they laugh. All known instances of SCP-3865 cannot be destroyed in any way or form.
SCP-3865-A is a human target in which after perceiving SCP-3865 has been targeted by SCP-3865 and will die by a collection of differing methods (see below)
Upon contact, SCP-3865 will travel through any material in order to get to SCP-3865-A. SCP-3865 will then attempt to rip out SCP-3865-A's eyes, nose, tongue or limbs. Resulting in [DATA EXPUNGED] and turns into an second SCP-3865, hence to prevent further spread of SCP-3865, no Personnel are to come into contact with SCP-3865.
Upon contact, SCP-3865 will travel through any material by disappearing from one side and reappearing on the other side in order to get to SCP-3865-A. The thickness of type of material does not slow down this process(see Interview Log 3865-1). SCP-3865 will then kill SCP-3865-A based on how the latter reacts to SCP-3865. There is ongoing research to see if a method of response results in SCP-3865 giving up. These methods may stack resulting in mass injury to the victim. The methods are listed below.
And I cannot stress this hard enough, the actions of Dr Tao are not to be repeated by anyone. Again, NO EXPERIMENTS ARE TO BE CONDUCTED ON SCP-3865 DUE TO IT'S NATURE. There is no one who can perceive SCP-3865 without dying and we cannot risk anymore deaths. Especially after the messy results of the initial testing. - O5-█
Test 38659918 - Date 9/9/18
Subject: SCP-3865
Lead Researcher: Dr Tao Sr.
Assistant Researcher: Dr Simmons
Procedure: A single blind D-Class Personnel, D-39284 was placed in a room with SCP-3865.
Results: The group of SCP-3865 moved towards D-39284 while producing the vocalisation. D-39284 was shown extremely uncomfortable and requested to leave. Request was denied. One instance of SCP-3865 then reached into D-39284's ear and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Causing mass internal and external bleeding
Analysis: This shows the ability of SCP-3865 to cause mass internal damage with restrictions. The restrictions being that it needs to physically use it's hands to damage the SCP.
Additional notes: Correlation between D-39284 blindness and SCP-3865's actions are under consideration. - Dr Tao Sr.
Results: Upon entering the room, D-48293 proceeded to shout initially with what would seem like joy, before screaming, covering his ears and crouching in the corner. All the while producing seemingly random hand movements towards the cameras. A group of SCP-3865 then proceeded to surround D-48293, looking at each other and back at D-48293 while vocalising. Before [DATA EXPUNGED]
Analysis: Analysis of the hand movements show that they were sign language and accordingly were translated roughly to "I can hear I can hear oh god thank god I can hear" Initially before becoming "It hurts the voice hurts get me out get me out now oh god"
Additional notes: Whether or not the SCP-3865 specimens were communicating to each other or simply looked at each other in order to taunt D-48293 is currently under research. - Dr Tao Sr.
Procedure: A single D-Class Personnel, D-757247 was placed in a room with SCP-3865.
Results: D-757247 initially showed no signs of distress when interacting with SCP-3865, and SCP-3865 itself not attacking D-757247. This was until D-757247 showed signs of distress regarding SCP-3865's vocalisations. D-757247 was then told to ignore SCP-3865's presence due to information gathered on (see Interview Log 3865-1). D-75247 was then assaulted by SCP-3865, causing [DATA EXPUNGED]
Analysis: I really don't know what to do. SCP-3865 responds negatively towards any and all interaction with it. Including no interaction being considered a form of interaction.
Additional notes: More testing is required to find out how SCP-3865 reacts to different circumstances. If this SCP only reacts to being reacted there should be some way to prevent more deaths - Dr Tao Sr.
It was at this point that All instances of SCP-3865 proceeded to look into the surveillance camera observing the Researcher's movements. Before this it was not known that SCP-3865's cognihazardous effects could be transferred through the camera. Even though it was hypothesised that SCP-3865 did not have a cognihazardous effect and simply acknowledged that it was being watched
The containment area for SCP-3865 was then breached when a instance of SCP-3865 manifested into the room, this now known to be D-39284 who disappeared from his previously known location and manifested into the observation area.
The subsequent containment breach resulted in ██ total deaths of Personnel. Dr Tao Jr. was the only known survivor of this.
- SCP-3865-A sees SCP-3865: SCP-3865 rips out SCP-3865-A's eyes which results in [DATA EXPUNGED] and turns into an iteration of SCP-3865
- SCP-3865-A hears SCP-3865: SCP-3865 rips out SCP-3865-A's ears which results in [DATA EXPUNGED] and turns into an iteration of SCP-3865
- SCP-3865-A attempts to assault SCP-3865 using their legs: SCP-3865 rips out SCP-3865-A's arms which results in [DATA EXPUNGED] and turns into an iteration of SCP-3865
- SCP-3865-A attempts to assault SCP-3865 using their arms or a weapon held by their arms SCP-3865: SCP-3865 rips out SCP-3865-A's arms which results in [DATA EXPUNGED] and turns into an iteration of SCP-3865
- SCP-3865-A attempts to ignore SCP-3865: SCP-3865 rips out SCP-3865-A's eyes which results in [DATA EXPUNGED] and turns into an iteration of SCP-3865
Dr Tao is now promoted to Primary Researcher on SCP-3865, his ability to perform on the field as well as his first hand experience with the nature of SCP-3865 can be utilised to help with the containment of SCP-3865 - Site ███'s Director
Addendum 3865-1: In a test run on SCP-3865 it was most unfortunately found that moving instances of SCP-3865 will cause all viewer to become SCP-3865-A. This included live footage of SCP-3865 in which SCP-3865 proceeded to look into the camera before breaching containment and killing all viewers of the footage. The only known survivor of this event was Dr Tao as he did not view the footage.
Addendum 3865-2: SCP-3865 had breached containment on ██/██/████ when Dr Tao once again decided to conduct research on SCP-3865, the resulting containment breach that occurred resulted in ███ SCPs escaping as well as █ more instances of SCP-3865 occurring. During the research done by Dr Tao SCP-3865 was recorded to have chased a D-Class Personnel; D-83929 through 15 layers of walls each made of different materials as well as having various width by running through a set of doors which were locked when D-83929 ran past them. SCP-3865 was recorded to have disappeared and reappeared through each individual wall each time it needed to pass through one layer. For that reason, it was concluded that SCP-3865 could only pass through any wall it encountered.
We had so much more to learn about SCP-3865 and we haven't even scrapped the surface of it. This is what the Foundation was built to do to study can't you see I'm just doing what is best for all of us what is wrong with you. I can't just, My whole life was in that room. Just one more chance please. - Dr Tao
Addendum 3865-3: Following the deaths of multiple Personnel and destruction of several SCP objects, an order by the O5 council stated that SCP-3865 is to no longer be experimented on. Site ███'s Director has personally stated that Due to Dr Tao's current mental state he be transferred to another SCP in Site ███ or more specifically [DATA EXPUNGED] SCP-3291
Addendum 3865-4: Dr Tao appealed to the O5 council to allow for testing on SCP-3865 a total of 97 times as well as to the Ethics committee 70 times before giving up.
Addendum 3865-5: SCP-3865 had breached containment on ██/██/████ resulting in the deaths of ██ Staff members, ██ D-Class Personnel and the breach of ██ SCPs. During this Breach, SCP-3865 was recorded to have attacked a D-Class Personnel who was blind, deaf, mute and had a rare genetic disorder known as CIPA. The D-92938 had died via destruction of her skin, eyes, ears and tongue.
Addendum 3865-6: SCP-3865 had breached containment on ██/██/████ resulting in the deaths of █ Staff members, █ D-Class Personnel and the breach of █ SCPs. During the Breach, SCP-3865 was recorded to be able to bypass walls despite Scranton Reality Anchors being placed on the other sides. SCP-3865 was also recorded to hesitate when D-Class Personnel D-12378 who had previously seen SCP-3865 had had his memories removed by a Class A anaesthetic. SCP-3865 had looked confused when it saw D-12378 post memories removed before producing it's vocalisations. SCP-3865 time before assault had been [DATA EXPUNGED].
Addendum 3865-7: SCP-3865 had breached containment on ██/██/████ resulting in the deaths of █ D-Class Personnel and the breach of █ SCPs. In the midst of the chaos Dr Tao managed to record a group of SCP-3865 engage with SCP-████ after which SCP-3865 proceeded to [DATA EXPUNGED] it's outer layer off which resulted in [DATA EXPUNGED].
Addendum 3865-8: Dr Tao who was at the point not in charge of the containment of SCP-3865 was found to be tampering with the chains in SCP-3865's containment cell. Due to the misuse of his level as Researcher as well as the death of multiple Personnel due to his reckless actions. Dr Tao was given capital punishment under laws [DATA EXPUNGED]. Dr Tao was sentenced to death via electric chair. However on the day when he was supposed to be hanged. Dr Tao was found missing in his prison cell and an additional case of SCP-3865 had been discovered in the containment unit.
We were on the precipice of a new discovery, an action to be taken in order to prevent the deaths of thousand as well as to decommission a SCP and remove the world of a threat. To all members of the Foundation I say this, DON'T TRUST [DATA EXPUNGED]. - Dr Tao
Item #:SCP-3291
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3291 is to be kept within a small box in the safe objects containment area of Site ███. SCP-3291 is to be under no circumstances to come into contact with any Personnel including [DATA EXPUNGED]
Description: SCP-3291 is a miniature statue of buddha made from an unknown material. It's properties only manifest when a series of actions are undertaken in front of the statue, after which a wish is made. The properties only manifest if the person has a great amount of willpower and/or is convinced that the outcome of the wish will truly occur.
After the wish is made and following all necessary criteria, SCP-3291 will then create a entity or several entities henceforth called SCP-3291-1, these can vary from simple objects such as water or wine, to living entities such as human children (see below) to [DATA REDACTED](See below). However, SCP-3291 cases will only manifest as the subject's mind had currently perceived them to be (see below).
RESTRICTED TO LEVEL FOUR CLEARANCE AND ABOVE ONLY
Addendum 3291-2: SCP-3291 was given to the Foundation by the MC&D in exchange for [REDACTED]. SCP-3291 was previously seen as an annoyance to the MC&D as it's presence was a threat to the MC&D itself i.e. infinite multiple anomalous objects. The MC&D also attached a group of five notes which they initially found along with SCP-3291 In a cave in [REDACTED], saying it was a warning given to the MC&D during their acquisition of the object. The note is as follows:
To whom it may concern:
If you find this note, and you found the structure, congratulations
The structure was hidden well so I'm sure you see yourself as extremely desperate if you are here. however, I regret to inform you that you are already dead.
You are desperate, I understand. But you have to understand and I soon learnt that this thing, does not and never will benefit you or be able to do what you want
Despite this, I know you will not be able to resist using this. Hence I will leave you with my story. And for those who have suffered from his and my mistake. I am sorry.
I was young back then. And you know kids, them and their clubs and group of friends and then there was. This kid.
He wasn't secluded, he fitted in just as much as we all did. A little bit sarcastic at times but it was all in good fun. So I decided I liked this guy. And I befriended him.
We grew extremely close. I immediately took to him as our interest were the same. Those included. Football, exploring, and truancy.
Continued on Pg 2
One day he brought me to his house to show me his stuff. He lived alone with his adopted parents. Both old and around 60. Poor fellow was left by his mother and father when he was born. And the house itself was leaking and riddled with dust, old and creaky and smelling of old people.
It was there it met the Structure, the thing. He told me I was the first person to know about his family heirloom. Told me when his parents died he would inherit the thing. Then he showed me how it worked.
That day he only manifested a bottle. Wasn't even full the damm thing but my 12 year old mind went crazy. Imagining the various possibilities the things we could do with this. But he stopped me. Told me the one rule laid down by his parents. And that was never to create a living thing.
It became apparent to me shortly after being with him to him that behind the veil of his unique personality and his "God of Football" title. In reality he was a fragile guy. At the time I thought this was a good thing for a friend to have. And it was.
Continued on Pg 3
Until that backfired. New kid in town took the other kids and rallied them against him. Laughed at him together and called him a names. I should've helped him but back then I didn't know.
I followed him back to his house. I knew exactly what he was going for but given his current state I was scared to stop him.
I don't know what went through his mind at that time. But I can only imagine the anger, the impulse. And I only know what happened next.
The moment his hand touched the object. It morphed him. Turned him inside and out and turned in from stone to some kind of metal, to some kind of resin before hardening.
//He made his way back to the other children. I observed from afar as he tore out their tongues and peeled off their skin. He started to become more and more sadistic. //
Continued on Pg 4
I waited for nearly an hour. Waited and waited for him to come. At first I was afraid, then I was hopeful. I thought maybe I could help him (note from this part onwards the author's handwriting becomes more scribbled and distressed). Then I started to wonder. Where was he? why wasn't the spell fading from him, or maybe it already did and he had already killed everyone.
Then I heard it. Something large had entered the house. I took up my courage, I would tell him that his actions were out of impulse and what he was doing was wrong. (the note once again becomes more scribbled. Almost to the point of unreadable).
It was there. He had told me about it once, that he was scared of a statue from his hometown. It's hands were hidden under a piece of cloth and he used to think they were going to reach out to try and grab him. It's was constantly smiling at you, unchanging, creepily and almost tauntingly. As if it was taunting you of all of your mistakes, all your flaws in life.
//My blood ran cold and I ran as fast as I could. Hearing it's laughter behind me as I ran away. What were they, why could they move. I ran into a room and locked the doors. And that brings me to where I am now.
Continued on Pg 5
//
Addendum 3865-9: It was reasoned that SCP-3865 was able to hunt and attack Dr Tao despite SCP-3865 not killing him previously was because Dr Tao initially had seen SCP-3865 since the initial test logs. Research into SCP-3865's sadistic tendencies are NOT underway.
Addendum 3865-10: Following the death of Dr Tao, Site Director for Site-███ figured out the circumstances for which SCP-3865 reacts to Class A anaesthetics which delayed it by 15 mins before the subject showed discomfort with SCP-3865 and by using this the containment method for SCP-3865 was found.
Item #: SCP-3291
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3291 is to be kept within a small box in the safe objects containment area of Site-███. SCP-3291 is to be under no circumstances to come into contact with any personnel. All instances of SCP-3291-1 are to placed into a sealed vault located as far away from SCP-3291 as possible
Description: SCP-3291 is a miniature statue of buddha made from an unknown material. It's properties only manifest when a series of actions are undertaken in front of the statue, after which a wish is made. The properties only manifest if the person has a great amount of willpower and/or is convinced that the outcome of the wish will truly occur.
After the wish is made and following all necessary criteria, SCP-3291 will then create a entity or several entities henceforth called SCP-3291-1, these can vary from simple objects such as water or wine, to living entities such as human children (see below) to [DATA REDACTED](See below). Proceeding a period of time however, SCP-3291-1 will dematerialise, this amount of time is directly proportional to the strength of the thought which manifested SCP-3291-1. However, SCP-3291 cases will only manifest as the subject's mind had currently perceived them to be (see below).
Test 3291-A - 4/3/199█
Subject: A Single D-Class Personnel, D-12378. She previously had a history of heavy drinking as well as cannabis abuse.
Procedure: D-12378 was told to place [DATA EXPUNGED] on the statue and wish for her one greatest wish. The hypothesis was she would create an alcoholic drink or a packet of marijuana.
Results: D-12378 successfully caused an instance of SCP-3291-1 in the form of a cup of wine. After D-1237 was sedated SCP-3291-1 remained for another 30 mins before dematerialising.
Analysis:
Addendum 3291-1: Due to SCP-3291's nature of being able to create matter. SCP-3291 is to be used as little as possible. Clearance for testing in SCP-3291 has to be authorised by the Site director before testing can occur.
Addendum 3291-2: SCP-3291 was given to the Foundation by the MC&D in exchange for [REDACTED]. SCP-3291 was previously seen as an annoyance to the MC&D as it's presence was a threat to the MC&D itself i.e. infinite multiple anomalous objects. The MC&D also attached five notes which they initially found along with SCP-3291 In a cave in [REDACTED], saying it was a warning given to the MC&D during their acquisition of the object. The note was originally written in chinese however the translated version of the note is as follows:
To whom it may concern:
If you find this note, and you found the structure, congratulations
The structure was hidden well so I'm sure you see yourself as extremely desperate if you are here. however, I regret to inform you that you are already dead.

It became apparent to me shortly after being with him to him that behind the veil of his unique personality and his "God of Football" title. In reality he was a fragile guy. At the time I thought this was a good thing for a friend to have. And it was.
Continued on Pg 3
Until that backfired. The day before his parents had passed, They were old so it was no surprise. But then the new kid, he didn't know any better and took the other kids and rallied them against him. Laughed at him together and talked about his parents. I should've helped him but back then I didn't know. I was standing far away.
I followed him back to his house. I knew exactly what he was going for but given his current state I was scared to stop him. I don't know what went through his mind at that time. But I can only imagine the anger, the impulse. And I only know what happened next.
His hand touched the object and he wished for his bullies to feel pain. It morphed him. Turned him inside and out and turned in from stone to some kind of metal, to some kind of resin before hardening.
He made his way back to the other children. I observed from afar as he tore out their tongues and peeled off their skin. And the adults? They just stood and watched the whole thing happen. Tears in their eyes as if they wanted to help but couldn't.
He started to become more and more sadistic. Shouting the reason actions until he came to the bully, who he ripped the tongue off for his insults, gorged his eyes out for his blindness, and so many other things which the thought of makes me want to puke.
I was terrified. I ran back to the statue and hid it. Thinking that just like the bottle, his thing would fade and he would return to maybe wish for it again. That would be when I could talk him out of it.
Continued on Pg 4
I waited for nearly an hour. Waited and waited for him to come. At first I was afraid, then I was hopeful. I thought maybe I could help him (note from this part onwards the author's handwriting becomes more scribbled and distressed). Then I started to wonder. Where was he? why wasn't the spell fading from him, or maybe it already did and he had already killed everyone.

As if it was taunting you of all of your mistakes, all your flaws in life.
My blood ran cold and I ran as fast as I could. Hearing it's laughter behind me as I ran away. What were they, why could they move. I ran into a room and locked the doors. And that brings me to where I am now.
Continued on Pg 5
Where I am now, stuck in this room. Writing this letter to you.
I've been stuck here for five years. Using nothing but the statue to constantly make food and water for myself. But I can still hear them outside, they've been waiting for me to give up for 5 damm years. But I won't.
It's only now I realised why or what they were. If structure could create objects then it could also create life. That life would have known what happens after it's due date. So to counteract this maybe it found a way to constantly stay alive by creating something like a curse.
//He only wished for his bullies to be hurt. I saw how they were created yesterday. [Existing in that form and forever so that they feel his anger. And the curse? It will stay alive forever by spreading itself.
Addendum 3291-3: Due to SCP-3291's ability to create more anomalous objects it is to be classified under Keter and is to be held in a separate containment were SCP-3291-1 is said to be held. A surrogate false SCP-3291 is to be made of emerald and is to be placed in SCP-3291's initial position. All instances of SCP-3291-1 are then to be incinerated. No Testing is to be done on SCP-3291. Additionally, MTF Lambda-5 ("White Rabbits") is to be deployed to observe for cases of possible SCPs which the letter has suggested. The first of which being a monk like statue entity which kills people based on how they react. The second is a powerful reality bender capable of doing killing people without consequence.
