Mother's Day: A tale from the perspective of several characters in the SCP universe on Mother's Day. +20 as of 01/23/2021
Item #: SCP-TREE
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Area-TREE has been established at SCP-TREE's location, operating under the guise of a natural research institution observing local tree growth. Guards dressed in stereotypical lumberjack attire are posted at regular intervals around Area-TREE's border with the primary goal of deterring any civilians that ignore warning signs. In the event that an SCP-TREE instance gets within twenty meters of Area-TREE's border, an axe is to be held up by the nearest guard and the instance lured away from the perimeter. If this does not cause the instance to retreat within one minute, destructive force is permitted.
To prevent behavioral changes and population growth, one instance of SCP-TREE is to be felled by D-Class personnel in lumberjack attire monthly. These personnel are encouraged to choose which instance is terminated based on whichever is the most noteworthy in appearance and behavior.
Description: SCP-TREE is a collection of ~400 mobile pine trees that reside in an area of roughly 1.3 square kilometers in the Miramichi River Valley in New Brunswick, Canada. Each instance has limited intelligence and is capable of controlled movement. This movement occurs every 0.96 seconds simultaneously for each instance, each one instantaneously being in a different location between 1 and 120 centimeters from its original location, the result visually resembling stop-motion animation. This significantly disturbs nearby dirt and often damages bark upon the lower trunk, allowing easy identification of SCP-TREE instances. Branches can also assume new orientations and positions during movement, and have been used for holding and manipulating objects such as exchanged logging materials.
Each SCP-TREE instance is capable of reproduction like non-anomalous trees, though at a slowed rate, leading to ~10-14 total new instances each year.
Despite a lack of light-receptive organs, SCP-TREE are capable of responding to visual stimuli. This mostly consists of a cessation of movement when near unobscured humans. However, upon seeing logging paraphernalia and other associated persons or items, SCP-TREE instances will attempt to make themselves more noticeable and enticing. This is typically achieved by holding large collections of fallen sticks/branches, or by quickly approaching lumberjacks while they are looking in another direction. Furthermore, SCP-TREE have a limited ability to understand written english, showing marked interest and curiosity towards anything bearing words such as "axe", "chop", "splinter", "tree", or "wood".
After an instance is felled by standard logging methods, all other instances will exchange large quantities of hoarded logging paraphernalia and wood scraps from destroyed instances. It is currently unknown where these items are obtained or stored as they spontaneously appear/disappear from the branches of certain instances, but the oldest items have been found to date from at least 150 years prior.
Addendum-TREE_Pictograms: Since SCP-TREE's containment, several hundred pictograms have been found with increasing intensity inscribed upon the ground within Area-TREE using asymmetrical wooden implements. Out of the total 142 catalogued pictograms:
- 81 show a two-dimensional view of a tree surrounded by disturbed soil
- 35 show multiple instances of logging paraphernalia
- 20 show 12-140 trees in radially symmetrical patterns
- 6 show dozens of shattered logs and pieces of wood, some being used to build housing and furniture
Addendum-TREE_Water: Due to recent local droughts severely drying soil and plant life, SCP-TREE have been much slower in movement, with the entire population observed sporadically stopping to rest for three to four hours every 12-60 hours. Subsequently, attempts to gain the attention of guards have increased by 310% within the last month, and several offerings of wooden and metal axes have been left near D-Class personnel.
While these actions are suspected to be a request for additional water, this belief cannot currently be confirmed. Due to limited funding for Area-TREE, artificial hydration will not be conducted unless significant declines in health appear in the SCP-TREE population.
Addendum-TREE_Incident_Log:
[BEGIN LOG]
[03:05] One of Area-TREE's cameras is monitoring roughly 50 resting instances of SCP-TREE. One instance's branches are repeatedly moving in a pattern resembling vibration.
[03:08] Moving instance [hereby referred to as MI] rotates 90º four times in succession, breaking apart nearby soil.
[03:09] MI begins moving east rapidly at 3.2 kilometers per hour. Other instances stop resting and begin quickly moving about in a chaotic manner, though movement is greatly restricted by dry soil.
[03:10] MI observed moving east at 3.7 km/h. The remaining instances from its location begin moving towards it at rising speeds.
[03:11] MI is moving east at 4.1 km/h. Roughly 30 instances are now following it at similar speeds.
[03:12] MI is moving east at 4.4 km/h. MI is within 100 meters of Area-TREE perimeter. Following instances begin slowing.
[03:13] MI is moving east at 4.3 km/h. MI is within 30 meters of AREA-TREE perimeter and has its branches positioned upwards. Guards attempt to respond, but the instance's roots become stuck within a small grouping of rocks. Other instances continue to move towards it.
[03:14] MI is surrounded by 20 additional instances and obscured from view. Significant struggling between the branches of various instances can be seen.
[03:15-03:52] Between 60 and 100 more SCP-TREE instances gather with the already present instances. Loud wooden collision noises are consistently produced during this time, reaching progressively higher volumes. More guards are gathered to prevent a mass containment breach.
[03:53-03:58] Gathered instances leave en masse.
[03:59] MI is now visible. The roots and lowest meter of its trunk have been surrounded with a thick layer of mud and rocks to prevent movement, and its larger branches have been heavily damaged and splintered by blunt force. An "X" has been drawn in darker mud at eye-level upon the trunk. Lastly, a heavily rusted axe is embedded in MI's tree fork.
[END LOG]
Closing Notes: Due to sustained injuries and a potential containment hazard, MI was terminated after this event. During the subsequent autopsy, it was found to have grown over several aged scraps of paper from an undetermined reference book, detailing the average lifespan of pine trees and the most common causes of death for them. More intense ring growth was discovered above a picture of "Methuselah", a 4800-year-old bristlecone pine tree in California.
Within the days following the instance's removal and termination, the remainder of SCP-TREE held an unusually-long exchanging of items, mostly focused upon wood scraps from Foundation-terminated instances. Since the incident, younger instances have engaged in markedly more attempts to be selected for termination. In addition, there have been zero subsequent cases of instances going within 50 meters of the perimeter. Containment procedures will be revised if this behavior continues.
Suggestions: THIS SHOULD NOT BE IN THE FINAL POSTED WORK
from peppermint_legos…
- Aren't the lumberjack guards there to monitor/herd back the trees? How many humans come this far out?
- Watch out for wordiness. "If this does not cause the instance to does not retreat within one minute…"
- In the incident log, calling the Moving instance "MI" doesn't really fit with SCP article conventions. I'd recommend something like "Moving instance (designated "SCP-TREE-1") rotates 90º four times…"
- Try to find ways to use the active voice more often. Passive voice is important to SCP articles and conprocs, but you have to be careful to not let it jumble things up or become unnecessarily wordy. Watch for ways to rephrase a sentence to give it more punch and keep the action moving. For example: "…but the oldest items have been found to date from at least 150 years prior."

Sleep. That was all David wanted, but of course he could never get it. He looked around in a tired stupor through the subway car at a variety of bored commuters coming home from day shifts or heading to night shifts. The source of the disruption was an annoyingly cheerful woman next to him listening to a stupidly loud podcast without earbuds. She just sat there, staring straight ahead with a dazed look, obnoxiously tapping her feet, and holding her phone in her hands as the podcast speaker began sharing tips for staying motivated at work.
Jesus Christ, Dave thought, his eyebrows furrowing into an expression of anger. This lady is pathetic! You don't motivate yourself at work, you just work! You hop right into your office or cubicle or whatever space, and start getting stuff done. When I work, I just-
The angry man stopped and paused. Something was wrong, but he didn't know what. So he went back to his internal monologue of rage.
I mean how hard is it to do basic work! She probably does some minimum wage bull crap in serving food or babysitting. Meanwhile, I get busy and always- I make sure to-
Dave focused harder. His expression changed to confusion. What did he do for work? He sifted through his memories for the day. Woke up, took a shower, shaved, had a nice breakfast of oatmeal and bacon, packed up his briefcase, kissed his wife, took the subway to 12th street, hailed a taxi to his workplace, took a taxi back from work… There it is. A void, a complete lack of anything, right where his memories of work should be. He walks in the concrete factory-like building on the outskirts of town at 9:15 AM, and then immediately leaves the building at 6:35 PM, exhausted and extremely stressed.
Slowly getting more and more frazzled and worried, Dave tried to remember anything related to work. His hiring? He knew he'd been working for 3 months, before that having a wide variety of odd jobs, mostly in simple security and storage, but even the interview is solidly blanked-out in his memory. Coworkers? None of them. He can't remember a single one. He probably should have some friends from whatever work he has, but no one comes to mind. He tried many more trains of thought all tangentially related to work, but nothing from inside that building is in his memory.
Then he remembered. He has a work briefcase. Logically, it should contain materials from work! Dave looked it over. It's thin, but tall and wide. Solid and leathery. It's light and sealed with two clasps that at least appear golden. He tried fiddling with the left clasp, before someone put a hand on his shoulder.
It's an elderly woman gesturing toward the door. The last remaining passengers were filing out. Dave slowly looked towards the station sign. Shit! Last stop… He scurried out of the subway car, out of the tunnel, onto the sidewalk, and into a taxi, trying to avoid passing out from exhaustion and confusion. The briefcase could wait 'til later.
Item #: SCP-7448
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7448 is kept within a Size-I animal containment unit with standard ventilation and observation systems. SCP-7448 does not require food and is not to be interacted with outside of testing. When handling SCP-7448, personnel are to wear full body protection to prevent biting and the spread of organic biohazardous substances.
Description: SCP-7448 is a variable object that frequently converts to other forms, almost all of which are organic in nature. Organic sections of SCP-7448 are genetically human in spite of appearance, being perfect matches for PoI-74481. These conversions occur at random intervals and will follow one of the previously observed 9 forms, though mild variations in size, species, consistency, and other traits have been frequently observed:
Designation | Description | Notes |
Alpha | 25 kg of bovine and equine feces | Tests on the dietary makeup of 7448-Alpha reveal that it is comprised of digested charred human flesh. |
Beta | A 90 kg mass of flesh consisting almost entirely of enlarged male and female genitalia | Due to a vast swathe of sustained STIs, 7448-Beta often leaks a mixture of blood, urine, and pus. |
Gamma | Several dozen members of the Viperidae family, each attached at the tail to the inside of a hollow boulder | Each member will consistently ignore other members and consistently make attempts to bite all humans within 7448-Gamma's range of vision. A hivemind is suspected but cannot be confirmed due to difficulties in testing. |
Delta | One member of the Rattus genus with hairless, nearly frictionless skin | 7448-Delta shows a preference for dark, moist environments, and will search out food in its expected diet despite not requiring substenance. |
Epsilon | One male newborn Canis lupus familiaris with a portion of the umbilical cord still attached | N/A |
Zeta | One heavily worn ice or roller skate manufactured using early 20th century methods, comprised of calloused human flesh and a brittle iron blade | Damage easily occurs to 7448-Zeta, lowering all value even further. |
Eta | A humanoid mass, highly resembling PoI-7448, of which at least 50% covered in circular toothless mouths. An equal number of human anuses are also present along the underside of this mass. The mouths are constantly inhaling air at a slowly increasing rate, which is then stripped completely of oxygen before being expelled out the anuses. | N/A |
Theta | A nonexistent and thus inaccessible region of space with a volume of 0.073 cubic meters. Attempts to penetrate this area result in a change in directional movement due to a lack of space in which to travel. It is unknown if this is the result of a spatial distortion or an antimemetic obstruction. | This is the only form of SCP-7448 with no organic components. |
Iota | A large organism with traits of both plants and animals, measuring 180 centimeters in height. The organism superficially resembles a distorted Beta vulgaris, but contains several internal organs in a configuration most like an adult Homo sapiens. Severe burn damage is present over both the exterior and interior of 7448-Iota, consistently causing rapid expiration upon shifting to this form. | Despite a complete cessation of life within 7448-Iota, vitals are instantaneously regained upon shifting to a new form. Autopsies conducted of 7448-Iota have revealed several dozen artificial carnomantic sigils in regular patterns present upon the heart and subcutaneous tissue. |
Discovery: SCP-7448 was discovered within a managerial office at ███████ █████ Office Headquarters, a front company for a neo-sarkic mob. The building had suffered severe fire damage before Foundation discovery, determined to be arson, with the fire most likely beginning within the previously-mentioned office. The only items still within the room besides SCP-7448 were several pieces of paper inscribed with carnomantic thaumaturgic sigils and a metal plaque laying on the floor. Engraved on the plaque are the words "Manager of the Month", below which "yeah right" was scratched.
Item #: SCP-6363
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: MTF Epsilon-3 “Finders of Fortune” have been tasked with locating instances of SCP-6363-A/-B worldwide and bringing them into containment. SCP-6363-A are to be contained in standard antimemetic object containment units and monitored by mnesticized security personnel. SCP-6363-B are to be digitized and stored in files with visible “Antimemetic Content” warnings.
Persons/groups affected by SCP-6363-C do not require containment or interaction, but must have all related media references removed or edited to avoid suspicion from groups of interest and non-anomalous scientific/governmental organizations. In the event that Ritual-6363 is determined, multiple instruction manuals are to be stored in Foundation archives to prevent antimemetic annhialation. Following this, further containment procedures will be created in an attempt to limit the ability to discover Ritual-6363.
Description: SCP-6363 is the designation for several related religious anomalies that bear similar effects:
SCP-6363-A is a total of ████ artworks, mostly statues and paintings, obscured by a Charlie-Type antimemetic effect, causing observers to subconsciously classify SCP-6363-A as irrelevant and worthless, as well as being unworthy of attention.2 Attempts to subvert this by concentration in non-mnesticized subjects results in significant mental distress and, more rarely, fainting. Moderate Class-W Mnestics allow for focus on SCP-6363-A and for the user to determine its shape, but dangerously high mnestic dosages are required to ascertain further details. Most tested instances of SCP-6363-A depict living creatures, often humanoid, in a religious context, typically controlling and/or creating humans.
SCP-6363-B consists of ███ written texts published between c. 4500 BCE and c. 1910 CE. The context of these texts are unknown, due to an antimemetic effect that prevents the brain’s linguistic centers from comprehending written language while viewing SCP-6363-B. This quickly subsides upon attempting to view non-anomalous text. Some sections of these text are non-anomalous however, mostly describing daily secular ceremonies and habits or stating that the contexts of the text are greatly important to most people.
SCP-6363-A and SCP-6363-B are very often found near each other in abandoned ruins and small old communities, although some have been discovered in urban areas, typically those that act as hubs of travel.
SCP-6363-C is a phenomenon in which communities of people experience a mass deconversion to agnostic theism. No records of the recent religious history of these communities can be discovered, and the deconversion often causes great emotional stress in those affected. Affected persons will reject all other religions, and may enter states of depression. Close descendants of SCP-6363-C victims3 show a fervent interest in organized religion, often converting to nearby historically popular belief systems.
SCP-6363-C victims frequently are found to possess multiple instances of SCP-6363-A and SCP-6363-B, claiming that they are familiar but being unable to remember their acquisition.
Testing Log-6363:
Subject: SCP-6363-A-098, a statuette measuring 15 cm in height
Testing Personnel: D-140
Test Procedure: D-140 will be placed in the same room as the Subject and given increasingly powerful doses of Class-W mnestics.[00:00] D-140 introduced to chamber unmnesticized. D-140 claims the chamber is empty, despite Subject being visible at the center of the chamber.
[00:01] D-140 instructed to sit on the floor in the center of the room. D-140 stares at the Subject for several seconds, before sitting just to its left.
[00:03] When asked about her previous actions, D-140 denies staring at anything, insisting she felt light-headed and sat "close enough" to the center.
[00:05] D-140 asked to look directly to her right and describe what she is viewing. D-140 insists "it's just some junk. Not worth anything" and asks if she should instead describe the floor of the chamber.
[00:06] D-140 instructed to further describe Subject and becomes significantly distressed, repeating "[t]here's nothing to describe!"
[00:09] D-140 allowed to calm herself, and is then given an Epsilon-Level dosage of Class-W mnestics.
[00:13] D-140 told to describe Subject's current appearance as well as she can perceive it. D-140 voices mild discomfort before saying "it's too fuzzy to make out anything".
[00:14] D-140 given Delta-Level mnestic dosage. Following this, D-140 claims that the Subject has "changed into" a vertical silhouette measuring between 10 and 30 cm.
[00:16] D-140 given Gamma-level mnestic dosage. D-140 expresses disgust and initially refuses to describe Subject. When informed of non-compliance consequences, D-140 describes Subject as "a worthless statue of something, probably 15 centimeters".
[00:20] D-140 given Beta-level mnestic dosage, and does not speak for several minutes after viewing Subject.
[00:27] D-140 is again asked to describe Subject and claims it to be a humanoid statue in a sitting position. D-140 asks for a break in testing, which is denied.
[00:30] D-140 given Alpha-level mnestic dosage and quickly turns away from Subject, claiming to be experiencing an overwhelming sensation of disgust and that "[her] brain is trying to throw away the picture of it". When allowed to collect her thoughts and use breathing exercises, D-140 calms down and is able to describe Subject as a statue depicting a humanoid entity
Item #: SCP-BACK
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-BACK is currently contained within Modified-Containment-Unit-BACK. Interactions, observations, and tests of SCP-BACK are only to be conducted by human instances of SCP-BACK-2.
Human SCP-BACK-2 instances are to be amnesticized of all SCP-BACK-1 before 14 days have passed since the beginning of their transformation. Digital systems are not to be used to store SCP-BACK-1 for more than three hours, and all SCP-BACK-1 is to be purged from the digital system(s) immediately upon its transfer to another medium. Paper may be used to record SCP-BACK-1, though all SCP-BACK-1 is to be transferred to another medium before 30 days have passed, preferrably earlier.
Foundation webcrawlers and embedded agents are to report all humans bearing symptoms of SCP-BACK-2. Infohazard-avoidance procedures are to be observed in the detainment of SCP-BACK-2.
SCP-BACK-2-▽ is currently contain within Site-25's Paleontology Sector for research into the evolution of early mammals.
Description: SCP-BACK is a object, organism, phenomenon, location, or entity of which nearly every trait (these traits are designated SCP-BACK-1) poses a communicative risk due to a novel antimeme that induces evolutionary or design-based regression in any medium4 that records SCP-BACK-1 (these mediums are designated SCP-BACK-2), slowly rendering them incapable of clearly communicating SCP-BACK-1. The only method found to halt this regression in SCP-BACK-2 has been the full destruction of all contained SCP-BACK-1 by any means, typically amnesticization or content deletion. The separation of the section(s) holding SCP-BACK-1 has been found to prevent further regression in the remainder of the SCP-BACK-2 instance, though the removed sections still possess anomalous effects.
The following traits of SCP-BACK have been determined to be true and induce no anomalous effects:
- SCP-BACK is a novel antimemetic infohazard
- SCP-BACK is at least partially physical
- SCP-BACK can be perceived by each external sense from several meters away, including hearing and olfaction
- SCP-BACK has a size or range of physical space in which it exists
- SCP-BACK can be moved to any location in which it fits
- SCP-BACK cannot move unassissted
- SCP-BACK is dangerous to all brain-possessing organisms due to both SCP-BACK-1 and an irregular phenomenon in which it [SCP-BACK-1 PURGED]. The remaining fluids and [SCP-BACK-1 PURGED] are then incorporated into SCP-BACK
- SCP-BACK was either created in or entered our universe within the span of human history
- SCP-BACK/SCP-BACK-1 can be discovered via scientific research and/or logical deduction and has been discovered by civilians repeatedly, both before and after its containment began
- SCP-BACK is further growing/manifesting/appearing as time progresses, causing a slow increase in the rate at which SCP-BACK-2 instances regress
Addendum-BACK-1: SCP-BACK was first discovered manifested at the residence of █████ Bennett, a civilian self-proclaimed "paranormal researcher" previously labeled by Foundation analysis to be at little to no risk of discovering any anomalous person, location, object, or phenomenon. Bennett was unable to be located at the residence and had not been seen by family or acquaintances in the last month, though this had been attributed to their reclusive nature. Locating and detaining Bennett is currently a Level 2 Priority due to the likeliness of having become an SCP-BACK-2 instance
The following items were retrieved from the Bennett residence and are suspected to or confirmed to have importance relating to SCP-BACK:
- Three broken computers, each relatively new yet possessing model years from 1985-1997
- One instance of SCP-BACK-2 in the form of a small prototype Commodore PET. Due to severe mechanical damage and many improperly-connected parts, data retrieval is currently impossible
- 23 books regarding many historical, paranormal, or philosophical topics. While no issues arise from reading any one of these books, the reading and full comprehension of at least six of these can result in deducing the existence of SCP-BACK and several instances of SCP-BACK-1
- 68 maps and excavation records for the area surrounding the Bennett residence
- One corroded, bent iron shovel, lying next to the below items
- A pair of torn lead gloves, lying next to the above item
- 32 scattered mildly torn paper instances of SCP-BACK-2. 15 are currently readable and describe SCP-BACK's basic physical traits in poor handwriting. One additional instance is highly illegible but at least partially describes SCP-BACK-1's effects on sapient organisms
- A working charged smartphone. Several private audio logs describe attempts to locate an unknown underground item of [SCP-BACK-1 PURGED], contradicting experimental results
- One instance of SCP-BACK-2 in the form of a collapsed wall, mostly converted to wood and severed ropes. Roughly 80 illegible characters are partially visible, having been carved into the wall with an unknown implement
- One large steak knife coated in blood and 110 grams of brain matter from █████ Bennett. Fingerprints upon the blade were determined to belong to Bennett and several non-human entities
- SCP-BACK-2-▽, a living Juramaia sinensis5. This is currently the furthest-regressed known instance of SCP-BACK-2. Attempts to create an alternative amnestic specifically for SCP-BACK-2-▽ and prevent further evolutionary regression are ongoing
Item #: SCP-POOP
Object Class: Safe Undetermined6
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-POOP-1 is held within a standard 3mx3mx3m object containment unit with constant monitoring. Personnel entering SCP-POOP-2 are to be equipped with disposable biohazard-protection suits, video recording devices, and an erasable writing pad. In the event that an instance of SCP-POOP-3 exits SCP-POOP-2, it is to be immediately returned.
Description: SCP-POOP is the collective designation for several closely related anomalies:
SCP-POOP-1 is a 200cmx90cmx4cm door and doorway entirely comprised of dried feces from one Vombatus ursinus7. SCP-POOP-1's doorknob and hinges are completely functional, and are not prone to breaking. When SCP-POOP-1 is opened, it connects to a random room within SCP-POOP-2.
SCP-POOP-2 is a pocket dimension an unknown location comprised nearly entirely of wet feces from the same source as SCP-POOP-1. SCP-POOP-2 is divided into several hundred cubic rooms, each of which has an assigned usage by SCP-POOP-3. These rooms are structurally sound despite their fragile composition,
Item #: SCP-6928
Object Class: Keter
Special containment Procedures: Due to the way in which SCP-6928 functions, full containment of SCP-6928 is both impossible and unnecessary. Instead, containment is to focus upon preventing the discovery of SCP-6928 by any reputable organization.
Foundation webcrawlers are to search for descriptions matching antimemetic phenomena, specifically in scientific papers, mental health forums, and forums discussing unnatural events. If a description of a phenomenon matching SCP-6928 is found, all involved persons and physical/non-physical records are to be found, followed by the full destruction of non-Foundation records regarding SCP-6928.
Humanoid instances of SCP-6928-A are to be contained within cryonic preservation chambers to prevent further decomposition. Each instance is to be assigned two guards capable of perceiving it.
Foundation agents have been inserted into all companies that produce SCP-6928-A instances as part of Project ”Mass Recall”. If any of these companies continue to produce SCP-6928-A after ten years, efforts will be increased, including via the funding of rival businesses.
Description: SCP-6928 is a wide-spread memetic or antimemetic phenomenon affecting various concepts, items, and people around the world. As of the time of writing, it is believed that every human is in some way affected by SCP-6928.
SCP-6928 results in almost exactly 50% of humans being (in)capable of perceiving a particular instance of SCP-6928-A. This set of humans is different between all instances, with most being able to perceive 40-60% of SCP-6928-A. Individuals incapable of perceiving a certain instance of SCP-6928-A will instead insist upon the inhabited space being empty, and will fail when attempting to touch the instance due to various external circumstances.
SCP-6928-A are various concepts, items, phenomena, and people. While SCP-6928-A are often highly different from one another, all instances have connections to the terms “one half”, “fifty/fifty”, “duality”, or some variation thereof. No other similarities have been found between instances.
All instances of SCP-6928-A have held their anomalous properties from their conceptualization.
Individuals not under the influence of mnestics are incapable of remembering the nature of SCP-6928, forgetting that an SCP-6928-A is perceivable to some after roughly 15 minutes. This memory erasure is incredibly precise, with individuals retaining all memories from the time period that do not mention SCP-6928 or debates caused by it.
Abridged Instances Log:
Designation: SCP-6928-A1
Colloquial Name: “Duality of the Beasts”
Date of Discovery: 07/18/1941
Description: “Duality of the Beasts” is a large oil painting produced at some point within the mid 15th century. The painting depicts a lion in the outfit of a knight charging on horseback at another lion. The artist and meaning of the piece is currently unknown.
Notes: SCP-6928-A1 is the first discovered instance of SCP-6928-A. SCP-6928-A1 was housed within a large mansion in southern Italy from the 1790s to 1941, and would have likely stayed there if it had not been noticed by several members of a group looking to buy the home. The Foundation quickly learned of the painting, but was unable to contain it for several years due to a lack of cooperation from the Italian government.
Designation: SCP-6928-A12
Colloquial Name: “The Spork”
Date of Discovery: ██/██/197█
Description: Sporks are a somewhat common piece of silverware that functions both as a spoon and a fork. This is achieved by a large basin with several small prongs emerging from the end. Sporks can be made from many materials, including plastic and steel.
Notes: SCP-6928-A12 is the most widespread of all SCP-6928-A instances, even having important roles in certain fictional works8. Production of SCP-6928-A12 is being slowed, with the end of spork production to occur around 2030.
Designation: SCP-6928-A45/A46
Colloquial Name: “Zomine/Schroduel”
Date of Discovery: 12/██/2009
Description: Zomine and Schroduel were a set of characters being produced for the games ███████ █████ and ███████ █████. Zomine is a black and white cat-like creature, and while Schroduel bears similarities to Zomine, it is much more anthropomorphized and ghost-like in appearance.
Notes: SCP-6928-A45 and -A46 were removed from the games’ coding and all members of the development team were given Class-B Amnestics. However, their anomalous effects still apply to related imagery.
Item #: SCP-MM
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: The discovery of records regarding SCP-MM is currently considered a Level-1 "Low" Priority. Foundation webcrawlers scanning forums and articles relating to the paranormal and massages are to look for use of multiple of the following terms: "large bump", "knot", "mobile", "movable", "sense", "sensory", "mutation", "sliding", "sigil", "glyph", "magic". If information directly regarding SCP-MM is discovered, an appropriate amnesticizing memetic agent will be distributed to those who viewed the content and the offending content will be removed from the site. The individual(s) responsible will then be detained and questioned regarding SCP-MM.
Known instances of SCP-MM-A and their tracing paths must be recorded in at least one digital location and three physical files due to the complexity of the sigils. Personnel that utilize SCP-MM-A are to be given appropriate amnestic doses once testing is finished. Any personnel found to have memorized an SCP-MM-A instance will be amnesticized, penalized, and removed from any future work involving similar anomalies.
Instances of SCP-MM-B are to be cured after testing, barring approved long-term effect tests. During testing, SCP-MM-2 are to be kept indoors with limited sensory input. Various aids to achieve this such as blindfolds and earmuffs may be requested beforehand. Hostile SCP-MM-2 are to be tranquilized, cured, and then amnesticized of the test.
Description: SCP-MM is the designation for two related anomalies: SCP-MM-A and SCP-MM-B.
SCP-MM-A is a collection of six thaumaturgic sigils designated SCP-MM-A-1 through SCP-MM-A-6. SCP-MM-A are radially symmetrical patterns that can be traced in one continuous loop with no beginning or end. SCP-MM-A bear no anomalous properties when drawn on non-humans. Accuracy of angles and curves is not important, as long as all intersections are maintained and have the same relative position to each other.
Each SCP-MM-A instance corresponds to a sense or cognitive function that allow for collecting information. While not all observed senses have been observed in humans, all currently exist in many non-anomalous species.
When SCP-MM-A is traced on the neck and/or upper back of a human, they will become an instance of SCP-MM-B. Unmodified SCP-MM-B appear non-anomalous and have no indication of anomalous attributes beyond a small raised circle of hardened flesh, designated SCP-MM-C.
SCP-MM-C will be on the horizontal middle middle of the back neck/torso, being an equal distance from both sides of the body. Its vertical position varies depending on the individual and the selected SCP-MM-A instance. SCP-MM-C can be moved upwards or downwards, but cannot be moved above the C1 certical vertebrae or below the third thoracic vertebrae. SCP-MM-B are incapable of feeling the movement of SCP-MM-C.
When SCP-MM-C is moved, the connected SCP-MM-B instance will experience the rapid modification of one or more organs, often including the brain. Upwards movement causes the modification to increase the capabilities of organs necessary for the SCP-MM-A sense, while downward movement inhibits sensory input to those organ(s). This has proven capable of restoring senses in those who have lost them due to injuries or birth defects.
As the range of SCP-MM-C's movement is dependent upon the size of the person, instead, the percentage of possible distance traveled from bottom to top is used. This range of 0% to 100% will be used as a measurement in all test results in this document.
Below is a table cataloguing each instance of SCP-MM-A, the related sense, and the average percentage raised on human subjects.
Instance # | Sense | AHP9 |
MM-A-1 | Hearing | 49% |
MM-A-2 | Vision | 31% |
MM-A-3 | Magnetoception10 | 0% |
MM-A-4 | Olfaction11 | 17% |
MM-A-5 | Proprioception12/Balance | 58% |
MM-A-6 | Depth Perception | 64% |
Addendum.MM.1.TESTING: An audio recording has been collected from one test with each instance of SCP-MM-A. These have been transcribed below for analysis and to serve as a general summary of SCP-MM's effects.
Affected Sense: Hearing
Subject: D-28980
Location: One rectangular testing chamber 5 meters in width and 50 meters in length. D-28980 is sitting on a chair in one corner of the room. A radio on the other end.
Item #: SCP-PET
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation webcrawlers are to monitor for anecdotes involving the "ghosts" of and encounters with deceased pets. Public knowledge of SCP-PET rarely requires amnestics due to it often being considered a ghost or the result of hallucinations. In the event that a SCP-PET infection is confirmed, the host is to be detained and quarantined until it has faded in that individual.
Five D-Class hosts of SCP-PET are to be contained at any given time so as to allow research in captivity and prevent full extinction should its public population drastically decline.
Description: SCP-PET is a spiritual infection estimated to currently affect roughly ~25,000 humans worldwide and results in the manifestation of non-sapient incorporeal entities designated SCP-PET-1. The majority of hosts suffered from depression before infection and 100% had lost a beloved pet within the last five years.
SCP-PET-1's appearance greatly varies over the duration of infection
