introduce Bob Reese. He has been around for a while. We are very excited to have him speak today. But yeah for those coming in if you can come up to the front so that we can be as close and involved as possible. Bob. Yes he has been around a while. Maybe too long. We'll see. I know that the scriptures say that you shouldn't take the upper seats at the feast but today we will suggest you violate that and move closer because I feel like there's this great chasm that separates me from you and I'm I would normally as a teacher come down among you but since this will only stretch a few feet we're we're stuck with this. When I started teaching in the former Soviet Union I found that all of my students were afraid because they lived into the Soviet system to ever venture a an opinion or to give a private expression and I found the only way I could get them to do it was to walk right down in front of them and ask them a question and speak to them. I can't do that to you because of the yeah it's so interesting we're talking about technology. I feel like we're in about 1850 with the system that that we've got. Anyway thank you very much for being here. This you know it my my children and my grandchildren would be laughing that I am talking about technology because they are they kid me unmercifully about how little I know. Anyway I do know a few things about some things related to technology and so therefore this this session beginning with the development of primitive tools humans have wrestled with the question as to whether technology represents peril or progress. The same tool that Cain used to kill an animal for food or thwart a threatening beast to use to kill his brother Abel. In his poem the fury of aerial bombardment written during the Second World War the poet Richard Eberhard writes you would feel that after so many centuries God would give man to repent yet he can kill as Cain could but with multitudinous will no further advanced than in his ancient furies. Our highly developed arsenal of military weaponry currently employed in the Middle East confirms Eberhardt's judgment. Reading the morning news one has to agree that we can and do kill as Cain could but in much larger numbers and with much greater efficiency and through more technologically advanced and though more technologically advanced we are no further morally advanced than in our ancient furies. Similarly the same technologies that allow General Conference to be broadcast live around the world in over a hundred languages also makes possible the multi-billion dollar industry of pornography and drug addiction as well as many other activities that undermine society and destroy human lives. Computer data storage systems that greatly enhance ancestral research and genealogical work are also employed in fraudulent and deceptive criminal schemes that rob the poor as well as the nation's coffers. The same iPads that missionaries now use to teach the gospel can lead to inefficient and inappropriate use including by missionaries including accessing sites that can be counter productive and even spiritually dangerous. Some missionaries have been sent home for spending time on the wrong sites. It is worth noting that along with their iPads missionaries are given a booklet quote standards for using technology and missionary work in the digital age something that the first missionaries who went out with their copies of the Book of Mormon didn't have to deal with. And the same smartphones allow for the reading of scriptures in sacrament meeting also allow the same people sitting in sacrament meeting to watch videos on YouTube movies or a million other visuals during that sacred hour. I've been I was thinking about this not too long ago sitting in sacrament meeting with everybody out with their iPads and their iPhones and wondering if the bishop had some kind of a technology in front of him you could say who's really reading the scriptures and who's looking at the thing it might be interesting. Anyway from the beginning the LDS Church the LDS Church has used technology to advance its interests. A 2007 article on LDS in the LDS newsroom titled technology used by church in early years states that quote in 1867 the church had an installation of a 500 mile telegraph line connecting outlying settlements to the hub of the church in Salt Lake City and then to 1996 when the church entered officially the World Wide Web the church has historically implemented communications technologies in a timely way. Quickly taking advantage of the telegraph in 1867 the telephone in 1876 radio in 1922 television in 1948 the church the church's use of technology has significantly expanded with the development of computers digital technology satellites and other inventions. According to the article quote for a number of years the computer services department of the church this is something I didn't know until I read it ran a three shift 24 hour six day a week schedule to manage the workload generated by the exciting new technologies. In 1974 Spencer W. Kimball said I believe that the Lord is anxious to put into our hands inventions of which we laymen have hardly a glimpse when we have used the satellite and related discoveries to their greatest potential then and not until then shall we approach the insistence of our Lord and Master to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. In a 2014 BYU education we addressed David A. Bednar spoke of the wonders and blessings of modern technology which he also saw as a direct blessing from heaven. We are blessed to live learn and serve in the most remarkable dispensation an important aspect of the fullness that is available to us is a miraculous progression of innovations and innovations that enabled and accelerated the work of salvation an almost endless list of technologies and tools that bless our lives and there are a million people down in Silicon Valley currently at work on a million more. All of these advancements are part of the Lord's face hastening his work in the latter days. It is no coincidence that Elder Bednar that these powerful communication innovations and inventions are occurring in the dispensation of the fullness of times. Social media channels are global tools that can personally and positively impact large numbers of individuals and families and I believe the time has come for us as disciples of Christ to use these inspired tools appropriately and more effective. Like many modern organizations the church currently uses technology in a number of positive constructive and expansive ways especially in terms of information and communication unlike churches like the shakers in the Mennonites that assume modern improvements for simpler less technologically oriented lifestyles the Mormon church retains a cadre of highly trained specialists and technicians who employ technology in both ordinary and in creative ways to serve the church's fourfold mission. For example the church has developed the most comprehensive and sophisticated genealogical research and storage system in the world. With the advent of personal computers and the internet this system which has its own website familysearch.org is available in homes libraries and chapels to millions of people throughout the world. An article in the LDS examiner this week titled Mormon Church uses technology to reach youth around the world Kelly Foss reports quote partly because of the centralized structure of the Mormon Church it has been an early and effective adapter of technology in fulfilling its mission. This is especially true of the youth of the church. The worldwide faith has members in over 150 nations and leverages technology to stay connected with even small church branches and faraway nations across the globe. An article in the Charlotte technology examiner titled the eldest church's Mormon message in this Brent Jackson observes quote in the last few years the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has made quantum leaps in the use of technology and communicating to its members and to the world causing many churches to look on with Mormon envy. Even the Roman Catholic Church with over a billion members worldwide doesn't compete with the exposure and efficiency in communicating the LDS communication the LDS church is reaching. More than most churches the LDS church has caught the vision of utilizing technology to accomplish its goals. Jackson notes especially the church and church affiliate groups and individuals have created sophisticated sites which get priority ranking on Google searches quote today if you Google the words to Mormon Joseph Smith and Latter-day Saints you will see that the majority of page one results are some of the most well done sites on the internet done by the LDS church or its members. They even dominate the most widely used name in all of Christianity Jesus Christ. Jackson noting the church's sophisticated use of broadcast website casts and mobile devices including apps concludes clearly the LDS church is laser focused on communication with its borders and the world and clearly it's working with the appearance blitz from seemingly every direction you would have to live in a cave not to be exposed to information about this church. As smartly and as successfully as the church is using technology as hopeful as it is in spreading the gospel and managing the myriad activities that take place within the church and through the church the church is increasingly cognizant of the perils and potential misuses of technology. In April 2008 General Conference address President Utdorff's book of the advantages of modern technology but warned be cautious these same technologies can allow evil influences to cross the threshold of your homes. These dangers traps are only a mouse click away. Pornography, violence, intolerance and ungodliness destroys families, marriages and individual lives. These dangers are distributed through many media through magazines, books, television, movies, etc. The General Conference address entitled Let Our Voices Be Heard, Elder Bednar, Elder Ballard said that the addition to avoiding negative influence, the eliterity saying should be active in opposing them. The question under consideration here is the extent to which technology enhances or imperils our lives and advances or retards the ultimate flowering of the kingdom of God. Take climate change for example many moderns some moment like many moderns so Mormons believe that whatever mess we make of the world eventually Christ will come and clean it up. Our refusal to acknowledge and take responsibility for the devastation to nature and the environment much of us caused by modern technology will have a dramatic effect on the church's ultimate mission. The church is our inheritance and we are its stewards. For this reason I believe that the tenth article of faith should be changed from its current passive the earth will be renewed to receive this parodicycle glory to we will renew the earth to receive this parodicycle glory. Same as true with peace we have a choice of turning our vast technological weaponry into plowshares. However given Mormon's pensions to be a war like people as President Kimball characterizes such a peaceful future seems like a pencilful dream. Another way in which technology can have a negative effect is distracting us from important matters by dominating our attention and occupying our affections. In an article in the June 2010 Ensign titled things as they really are. Eldner Bednar addressed the negative impact of media on relationships. Sadly some young men and young women in the church today neglect eternal relationships for digital distractions diversions and detours that have no lasting value. My heart aches when a young couple experience marital difficulty because of the excessive addicting effect of excessive video gaming or online socializing. And I think that that is a clearly a danger that is affecting our families. I'm not suggesting all the technology is bad he said but it is it is not. I know am I saying we should not use as many capabilities to communicate to lift and bite lives but I'm raising a warning a warning voice. The Bednar seems to be giving warning voice a lot these days which I think in this case is certainly well deserved. One of the problems with our constant obsession with social media and electronic devices is that they lead to what Linda Stone calls continuous partial attention. It's a wonderful term continuous partial attention which means that we're not paying full attention to anyone to ourselves to God or to others. When the transatlantic cable was finally finished in the middle of the 19th century. Henry David Thoreau observed with our hundred quote modern improvements. There is an illusion about them. There is not always a positive advance. The devil goes on exacting compound interest to the last for his share and numerous succeeding investments in them. Our inventions are want to be petty toys. We are in great haste he said to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas but Maine and Texas it may be it may be have nothing important to communicate as if the objective were to walk fast and not to talk were to talk fast and not to talk sensibly. We're eager to tunnel under the Atlantic and bring the old world some weeks closer to the new but perchance the first news that will leak through the broad flapping American ear will be that the princess Adelaide has the hoop and cough. After all the man whose horse trots a mile a minute does not carry the most important messages is not an evangelist nor does he come nor does he come around eating locusts. As Thoreau said these are improved means to an unimproved end. Well there are many other such devices that we all are aware of. One of those seems to me that we should have some concern about is the extent to which modern technology allows for the surveillance of private and personal communications. According to Lewis Lappin since 1911 the apparatus together intelligence on American citizens has grown to include more than 3,000 government and private agencies involved in intelligence gathering at 17,000 locations across the United States and there is a huge national database that facilitates mass surveillance in the United States. According to the ACLU the Patriarch the Patriot Act passed in 19 in right after 9 11 as allows a government to monitor phone email communications like bank and credit reporting records and track the activity of innocent Americans on the internet. There is no evidence that the church employs technology to keep track of private the private lives of members but given its response to criticism and the example of governments and corporations it is possible that in the future it might be tempted to do so. As Brett Jackson observes quote no church in the world knows more about how their members are doing and where they are than the LDS church with the home teaching program the leaders of each local congregation have an insight into each member status and needs. Enter the LDS church leaders secure resources about members utilizing the internet leaders have access to non-sensitive data hopefully not sensitive about each member wherever whenever they need it in addition leaders have instant access via web or device to any other leaders information in the world if they need to contact them. The ironically named strengthening church members community established under the direction of President Ezra Taft Benson who had a penchant for suspecting conspiracy in high and low places suggests a possible use of technology to collect information on critics and suspect of apostates of the church. According to church spokesman Don Lafieva the committee quote receives complaints from church members about other members who have made statements that conceivably could do harm to the church passes those on to local leaders says it makes no judgment on such communication that leaves us up to the discretion of the local leaders based on my experience and I do have a file the church strengthening church members committee and it's been there for some years and this may be going into those. Based on my experience it is a rare leader who upon receiving such communication from the strengthening members committee which is headed by two members of the quorum of the 12 chooses not to act and the church is threatened from within or without history shows that such threats can cause not only defensive but a punitive reaction as I say there is no evidence that the church uses or plans on using technology for such purposes but the fact that the strengthening members committee was secret until inadvertently relieved revealed in 1991 gives one pause. Given where we are in the history of the world it is impossible to conceive of a world without technology or without new technological inventions.  What we do know is that if we use technology intelligent and righteously it can be a blessing if we don't it certainly will be a curse as BF Skinner said the real problem is not whether machines think but whether men and women do and we could add the real problem isn't whether we can construct machines at the field but whether we can continue to feel. We can't make it back to the garden or into the future without listening to our own and to one another's hearts. No technology is a substitute for that. No electronic media are capable of empathy and compassion at least not yet. No technology produces holiness. No machines are capable of giving and accepting love. Machines may be able to approximate some of the functions of the human brain but only gods and humans have hearts capable of deep and enduring love. Thus when we stand before the keeper of the gate the holy one of Israel he will not he will not ask how many tweets we send a day how quickly we can find something on the internet or how many friends we have on Facebook rather like the Egyptians he will weigh our hearts. Thank you. You now have time for questions. Okay. Yes I agree. I wonder what else I've agreed to. So the statement was for this recording is that on the the scripture the app that you download apparently there is a statement there that indicates that the church wants to know how many times you read first third Nephi as opposed how many times you read first Nephi over and over and over again. I don't know what technology is available to keep track of all of the things that research on the internet. It certainly makes a lot of people nervous to think that anybody would be tracking just it's just on the website. Okay. So everybody's safe. We hope for the minute. Yes ma'am. She asked a very good question. I am on the national board of a group called no bully and we deal with bullying in the schools and cyber bullying is one of the really big problems on the internet and in our society it has led to suicides. It is just a terrible problem. I don't know about cyber bullying within the Mormon blogosphere but given the vitriolic communications that go on between Mormons and anti-Mormons between pro and con between all of the what one might expect. Certainly there is a lot of nastings on the on the website and it's on both sides of people actually communicating one another electronically and and so I I don't know I what I do know from my work with the no bully foundation is that it is a common problem and it's a huge problem because people can be anonymous and and can use that anonymity to bully other people. There is a kind of you know implied thing I was reading this morning not this morning I got up to early do that but reading last night that I was reading comments on Ella Bednar's address to the students of BYU Idaho and and maybe it was the one about the church's policy and people were were taking you know it's very there's very little middle ground in Mormons in these days and people run to the one pole of the other and cast stones and verbal abuses across this widening gap but there were some things with that that basically said anybody who doesn't accept this new policy which was a subject of a panel that will be this afternoon is not following God is not righteous doesn't support the brother whatever there is a tendency and that happens on both sides each side calling the other side idiots and whatever else so there is if there isn't direct bullying of what person there certainly is a disrespect and a trashing of anyone who doesn't agree with the person's but I would guess that there is bullying but since I am probably wouldn't surprise you that I was on Facebook for a day years ago but and I even understand I've got hundreds of friends there but I don't know anyway it's a very good question in time yes but I read it was about a year ago with the back of some of the patients that happened in the past 500 years they said it took some of the 1800s and dropped them in the 19th and it would have been shocked by what was available they wouldn't even know what to do with themselves and he used to talk about everything and all this all the new tech right but if you took someone from even the 19th groupie and dropped them into today have a dramatic change all of our relations have been online right it's all the wireless stuff that I don't know but so I wonder will it take the filming of times why is everything else so sad and that's basically about our priority are we making something you have to make the innovation to make them to be at ease or even helpful or I feel like we get so caught up on the technology and the law that you do but actually the experience is not a rallying better thing well I think you are making the statement was about all of these technological innovations that many of them are using basically radio waves to do to communicate but the fact of the matter is that we can do so many things better and faster than we could even a few years ago if you look at the line of technological developments over human history it goes like this and then it goes like this it's still going into the stratosphere the question is are these improved means to improved ends are improved means to unimproved ends or unimproved means to unimproved ends and this comes back to what I was saying that whatever Jesus didn't use technology to preach the gospel and yet he was the most powerful teacher in all of history am I grateful that I can carry the scriptures on my cell phone instead of that big quad yeah do I read it the same as I did before that's a question do we read it do we live by it how is it affecting how is technology affecting our lives and I think this to me would be the challenge of any church or organization if you can keep track of people I mean certainly missionaries using the iPad to teach I think is a helpful innovation if in fact the message is a good message and if the messenger is giving that in a loving way so we can be in love with technology we can be enslaved to technology technology can govern and ruin our lives and I think there isn't enough emphasis on the way in which we can constructively use technology in a way new technology is neutral technologies what is cars are great convenience cars to be used to kill no no technology without a human being doing something with it at least with this point with robots I have no idea what's going to happen but but it is it is a moral question that's a question I'll be talking about a little bit in the afternoon session on imagining there I'm asking us to imagine what kind of technology there's going to be 20 30 years and now if you could right now do that I thought I'm saying which it makes your point it's almost impossible if you go back 30 years and I was born in 30 so it's as helpful as I am who I couldn't have conceived of the world I live in and take the gratitude can we conceive of the world 25 30 or 50 years from now and what it will be like will we look back on this the same way we look back on the pioneers and are we as incapable of looking forward as they were of seeing our day yes these are back this afternoon I'm going to be talking about what we call human technology and human technology is the use of spiritual emotional intellectual tools it is no love compassion empathy the this is human technology and it is the combination of human technology with electronic or mechanical or other kinds of technology that makes the difference so yes and it may be that we will have access that is one of the things that I know the the ability to access the quantum world could absolutely be an astonishing revolution and there are people who believe that we are on the verge of being able we already can access that that a scientist can how can that become something that we do that may be an astonishing technological revolution and so yes those things that we are capable of that machines aren't at least yet all of them and some of them I think machines will be should be part of our discussion about technology yes and that's that's the definition of a miracle is a something that happens according to laws we don't understand thankfully I think we can say God understands physics post Einstein rather than pre Einstein and who knows what's going to be post whatever we are the laws of physics that God understands or to be able to make a command and have something come into being yes we are still we we see ourselves as living and highly advanced and enlightened age we will be looked back on in people in the future to say my gosh they were they were doing what with you know and look at our medical technology how far we've advanced and yet there's so many things that we don't know how to solve a lot of medical problems today but we know how to solve more than we did a decade ago I have two grandchildren who are live because of neonatal research as a medical science to save their lives when they were born one two and a half pounds now a beautiful 15 year old kid doing beautiful things so I am very grateful to live in such a technology but I think we also have to look at the dark side of technology we have drones that are killing thousands of innocent people around the world our weaponry is destroying lives and civilizations our technology is often used to nefarious and evil ends we have to be responsible for that and how we be responsible I think is going back to having this dialogue between our heads and hearts and between our souls and whatever exists out there in the world we inhabit you know the question has a question back here you highlighted in the vet nurse comments that addressed the person are there any deep sources of thoughts towards what they can be to prevent these larger uses the use of the government and the use of the organizations focusing too much on human lives I thank you Chase, Chase is working on a PhD here at UC Berkeley and I mentioned to him the newest issue of the Lapham Quarterly I don't know if you know this journal LAPHAM started by Lewis Lapham the former editor of Harper's magazine anyway his newest issue which just came this week is on spying and the use of technology by governments and groups and individuals to gather information almost always for ends that turn out not to be as they are promised there is a lot of research done on that but because so much of the surveillance is secret and unknown it is difficult sometimes to have reliable research but there is research on that and I again I only know about the strengthening the members committee and don't know other than whether that's still I assume since when I first found out 40 years ago that there was a file on me which I was surprised naïve as I was that such a file existed on me that was before the internet and I assume that some member of my board who thought my gospel doctrine class was a little edgy wrote a letter to some apostle or whatever but now that we have the internet is so much easier so my file is probably not grown fatter but deeper electronically than it was before but I have no idea I really don't know I just know that my state president reported to me when I asked him do you think there is a file and he said let me find out and he said yeah there is one and so I belong to some kind of a special fellowship and all of you may be a part of it since you showed up here and you registered online yes I've never been in our statement of the technology of the day being part of pasting the work because it seems to me from my observation current information technology has been disruptive to the church may be more disruptive than useful I want to talk about that that's a very good question and I think church is clearly facing this whether or not the internet is no question the internet has been a terribly disruptive technology for the church the church controlled this message before the internet pretty much that is few people take deep into the journal discourses or read all of the articles that you couldn't Google whatever and even though the church does influence as this as Brett Jackson said there is a way to influence what comes up first on Google and the church is clearly strategically controlling that because there are a lot of anti Mormon groups that tried to do that as I think some of you know that the on the Wikipedia there is an underground battle going on on Wikipedia between the evangelicals and the anti Mormons and the Mormons for the narrative about Joseph Smith because you can change things on Wikipedia so if you think somebody's done too polished a job you can come in and affect that so there is no question that the genie is out of the bottle whatever you want to call it however you look at that genie and we are now in a world in which I think the church is I think the church is not simply aware of it very wary of the potential uses of this technology and when instantaneously things that might have been spoken within a smaller group can now be broadcast across the world and there is a certain positive aspect of that which is the gospel message can be broadcast to the world but also a negative message can be broadcast so I think the church is highly aware of it I think if you were talking about this in the panel session this afternoon on the church's change of policy you know how quickly that was leaked how quickly there was seemed to be damage control how quickly that damage control was attempted to be tamped down with Elder Nelson's address but we are not going to put that in back in the bottom very quickly one more question yes the question is the church's interest in technology more to spread the gospel or to correlate its message I tend to be more optimistic and I am a very trusted person which has gotten into trouble but I think the essential impulse of the church is to fulfill its full mission through any means possible and so I think it is also the initial use of the telegraph and the telephone and radio and television was to get that message out that was before correlation much of it post correlation I think it is both part of it is to control the message part of it is to get it out I think there is a certain I am sure within church leadership there is a struggle between those two things and how that comes out I think we will just have to perform the group of tonight to find out thank you all very much


Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with the stocks. What should I'm here to go over fit? This was my top watch today. I felt a high level of conviction this would work, and it was the best gap today. As usual, I picked the best thing, and it's still going, actually. This really next target's $14. You could be in this short in the afternoon. I don't really trade in the afternoon, except for where everyone's in a blue moon, but you could actually have reshorted this. In the afternoon. But I personally like to trade in the morning and be done. And this gap rated well today. It was 22 points open, rallied, held. Entry here was 99 by 25.  Rallied up here. I did call a late entry here if anybody wanted to do it. It could have gotten to 14, but it did have a move. It did have a 40 cent move here in this late entry. So I just really made a great call on this today, and it literally fell hard twice. So you could have done one trade, or you could have done one trade and a second trade, or you could have done this trade and held it all the way down. But morning move got down and done, and this is still going. So where could you have reshorted this? I teach the secondary entries in the class, but you could have reshorted this year. This isn't even half bad. Geez, this really stock had a nice move today. And what do I mean by that? Perfect entries, perfect size, perfect risk reward. I mean, this was fantastic today, actually. And look, it's gonna break the low. It really is gonna break the low. So I looked at many, many gaps today. As usual, I get up in the morning, I scan, you have all these things in here, and there was a lot of things gapping down. People were putting ideas in the room. I said, nope, fit, fits the one, and I knew it. I'm so good at picking the right thing every day to do. What tells me that? My 26 point rating system. This was the highest cap rated today. There was no reason to do anything else other than this. It had the best move, the best short, the best entry, the best risk reward, the best everything, still going 115 in the afternoon. So if you wanna learn what to trade and how to trade, email me at melissathestockswish.com. The golden gap class is May 14th and 15th. And by the way, if you wanna sign up for the early bird special by Friday, which is tomorrow, you'll receive the option letter free for the year. And that's actually a great deal because that's $29.99. So you get that free for the year if you sign up for golden gap class early, one week ahead. So really nice move in this fit today. Just absolutely nailed it. As usual, I'm great at calling the entries and picking the right stock every day to short and I prefer to short. Have a great day everyone. Email me at melissathestockswish.com if you want more information or you wanna sign up for the golden gap class. Open house is still tomorrow. For anybody that is interested, you can welcome to come. Thanks everyone, have a great night.


At the moment, we're going to speak about functional communication training, and it is exactly as you think it is. It allows you to communicate in a more functional manner, right? So it's a training, so you're going to teach the person to communicate functionally. Somebody might not be communicating functionally. Boom, they might do that, you know, whatever. They might be totally out of line with some response in order to man for something or whatever the case may be. So the point being that you might want to get somebody to say, may I please get a glass of water rather than beating you across the head? Or, right, that could be functionally communication training, right? Teaching someone to replace an undesirable response in order to communicate something. That's what FCT, functional communication training, it really is, right? So we're going to do, it's basically a DRA, maybe a DRI, depending on what you're doing. So it could be a DRA, or it is a DRA procedure, essentially just to teach the person to communicate, to communicate what they need, essentially. The nice thing about it is you don't have to modify the establishing operation. You leave the establishing operation alone. Kitto is thirsty, whatever the case may be, or it's been a while since they've had water, whichever way you want to describe it. So it's been two hours since water consumption. So instead of the Kitto smacking on you until you figure out what they want, you can teach them to go like that. So functional communication training, highly useful in all sorts of settings, and it's not just for people with autism. Think about dogs.


Item Number – SCP-218 Object Class – Euclid Special Containment Procedures – SCP-218 is contained within a standard aquatic specimen tank, saltwater. Tank maintenance is to be carried out by remote drone only. No further procedures are required. Description – SCP-218 is a predatory colonial organism, weighing approximately 1,800 kilograms, consisting of several hundred parasitic lampreys of the family Petromyzon today, designated Petromyzon animalus. Individual Petromyzon animalus specimens average between 50 and 90 centimeters in length and are similar in appearance to the common sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinas, with the primary exception of complex ultraviolet spectrum skin patterning. The lampreys can break off from the primary mass and move under their own power, acting similar to non-anomalous specimens. These modal units will remain in the vicinity of SCP-218's primary body, until captured and eaten by colony members. The central mass of SCP-218 contains the organism's primary organs, as well as a muscular foot for locomotion. SCP-218 is capable of surviving out of the water for up to an hour, though it is greatly inhibited in mobility. Modal units of SCP-218 produce a paralyzing toxin, applied by bite or through the lamprey's mucus sheath. This toxin inhibits locomotor muscles and will numb the target to pain. All other internal and mental processes will continue when affected. The paralyzing effect has not been observed to dissipate, and no effective counter-agent has yet been discovered. Early observation led researchers to believe that SCP-218 reproduced through the parasitic implantation of modal units into a host body. This behavior has since been determined to be a typical feeding behavior, where numerous modal units will burrow within the body of still-living prey for upwards of 48 hours, before normal consumption resumes. Addendum 1. Physical examination of SCP-218 shortly after containment revealed that the primary mass contained several foreign objects, preserved within the main body cavity. SCP-218 was removed from its containment tank and tranquilized to allow for surgery. Objects removed from SCP-218 include 33 pearls, averaging 3 cm in diameter. Holes bored through each indicate that they were previously part of a necklace. One dolphin figurine carved out of smoothed coral. Two gold bracelets. Four bone hairpins. One tortoise shell hair comb. One bone figurine of SCP-218 shows signs of heavy wear through handling. One human skeleton, being that of a female child, estimated to be between 4 and 6 years of age. Skeleton was similar to chalk in consistency and embedded with 135 pearls. Scapula, believed to be that of a red deer, engraved with three humanoid figures, two adults, and one child, presumed to be the subject and parents. Both the skeleton and artifacts date to approximately 7,500 BCE, though do not resemble the artifacts of other Neolithic groups in the region of recovery. Addendum 2. SCP-218's behavior became significantly more agitated after removal of the aforementioned objects. She would repeatedly beat against the walls of its tank, or attempt to scale them. When one of the hairpins was placed back in the containment tank, SCP-218 used one of its colony members as a manipulator to retrieve the pin, and then place it back inside its central cavity, through the means of a large sphincter. This dorsal sphincter was not present until the removal of the body and artifacts. Item number SCP-244. Euclid Special Containment Procedures When not in testing, SCP-244-1 is to be placed in a room with its own thermostat, kept at a temperature of no less than 38 degrees Celsius. This room must also have its own ventilation system to provide constant air circulation. SCP-244-1 will rest on top of a scale attached to an alarm, so that any abrupt changes in weight from SCP-244-1's caps sudden removal, or from SCP-244-1's displacement, may be immediately detected. If the alarm goes off, SCP-244-1 is to be immediately retrieved, kept, and placed back on the scale. In the event that SCP-244-1 spends longer than 4 hours uncapped and active before retrieval is possible, initiate procedure 244-2123b. SCP-244-1 is a Tunisian-style earthenware jar made of common ceramics mixed with traces of data expunged and decorated with silver filigree. The inside of SCP-244-1 always has an internal temperature of negative 37 degrees Celsius and a 125% humidity, regardless of external conditions. Since handling SCP-244-1 invariably describe it as cold to the touch, SCP-244-1 includes a cap of identical makin' style to the jar itself. When SCP-244-1 is uncapped, condensed water vapor will flow from its mouth. The rate at which the vapor emanates increases if SCP-244-1 is left lying on its side or suspended upside down. This vapor is identical in composition to ice fog, with a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and 125% humidity as it exits SCP-244-1. Over time, this fog will disperse through whatever area SCP-244-1 is in, lowering ambient temperatures and raising humidity levels proportionally. The amount of time it takes for SCP-244-1 to fill an area with fog varies depending on the size of the space, the amount of moisture already in the air, and the temperature at the time SCP-244-1 is opened. If SCP-244-1 is left uncapped outside of any structure, it will still produce water vapor and lower the surrounding temperature. However, the effect may be considerably diminished or enhanced by the effects of the sun, wind, local topography, and or local vegetation. In any space where SCP-244-1 has changed the environmental temperature and humidity to negative 37 degrees Celsius and 125% humidity, there is a chance of encountering SCP-244-2, directly proportional to the amount of time that the area has been fogged over. SCP-244-2 is a mobile gaseous entity, visible only as a dense cloud of grayish fog. Whether it simply uses SCP-244-1's own fog as camouflage or is actually a part of said fog is still undetermined. Thermal imaging shows that SCP-244-2 is far colder than its surrounding environment. How SCP-244-2 achieves locomotion is not known, but testing and observation has made it clear that SCP-244-2 usually remains motionless unless there is a source of heat nearby. SCP-244-2 is attracted to any source of heat energy and will move to envelop such sources. Because of SCP-244-2's own inordinately cold internal temperature, any object that comes into direct contact with it usually flash freezes. Biological heat sources, including humans, are invariably killed by the flash freezing effect and mechanical or electronic devices ice over. SCP-244-2 appears to grow in size as it consumes thermal energy. In a sufficiently large, beclouded area, there may be multiple instances of SCP-244-2. SCP-244-2 will not attempt to consume heat sources with a temperature equal or greater than 600 degrees Celsius and will actively move away from such sources if they are brought closer to it. For this reason, SCP-244-2 is easily repelled with burning wood or other combustive fuel fires. SCP-244-2 has been observed to disperse if exposed to great concentrations of heat in a short period of time. History SCP-244-1 was first discovered in the basement of a recently emptied chaos insurgency occupied military base where it had completely filled the basement level with ice fog and at least two manifestations of SCP-244-2. It was retrieved by Dr. Morris with the assistance of Mobile Task Force Beta-62. It is unknown whether the chaos insurgency had placed SCP-244-1 in the basement as some sort of diversionary tactic or if they themselves were looking for it. Addendum Whatever SCP-244-2 is composed of, it is certainly not normal water vapor. At those temperatures, mere water would surely become a solid, as indeed would most gases. However, taking samples of SCP-244-2's material has proven difficult, as it is both gaseous and freezes most devices applied to it. I suspect that this may be related to the data expunged in SCP-244-1, but studying that mineral has a host of problems all its own. Dr. Morris Item Number SCP-250 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-250 is to be kept in a 50 meter by 50 meter enclosure, simulating a prairie environment with padded steel walls 15 meters high and 1 meter thick. The temperature must remain between 20 and 28°C by day and between 10 and 14°C by night, with an average humidity of no more than 8%. This serves the dual purpose of ensuring that SCP-250's overall behavior remains predictable and of maintaining the physical integrity of its component parts. Vegetation within the enclosure is to be maintained on a weekly basis. Although SCP-250 does not physically require nutrition, it is to be fed one live adult pig every two days in order to regulate its aggression and hunting instincts. The remnants of its meal are to be removed from its enclosure no less than one hour after the onset of its nightly dormancy period. This includes cleaning any residual biological debris from SCP-250's physical components with compressed air and whisk brooms. At no point during cleaning are any of SCP-250's physical components to be moved by more than one meter in any direction, as this risks disrupting its dormancy. Dormancy ends within five minutes of sunrise. Access to SCP-250's containment during its activity period is prohibited. Description SCP-250 is the animate fossil skeleton of an allosaur, originally identified as Allosaurus fragilis. However, an incomplete scientific article found in the personal effects of paleontologist Dr. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. The validity of this force is hindered by SCP-250's aggressive behavior, which has been assessed by Foundation Paleozoologists as being well within theoretical norms for an Allosaurus. SCP-250 emulates what are presumed to have been the standard daily activities of a living Allosaurus. It wanders its enclosure by day, enters a state of dormancy by night, and will attempt to kill and devour anything which it perceives as suitable prey, including humans. Its lack of organs does not seem to affect its behavior in any way, except in that the remains of any prey it consumes will inevitably fall out of the gaps in its skull, neck, and rib cage, at which point it ignores them. SCP-250 was first excavated as an 80% complete skeleton in 19 records from the excavation do not include any report of anomalies. Several years later, it was transferred to an undisclosed museum of natural history in R. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. P. to be reported immediately to a superior and the leader of Mobile Task Force Pi-1, City Slickers. MTF Pi-1 is to incinerate cases of SCP-2741 and secure the infected buildings by forming a quarantine with a one kilometer radius under the guise of the local police and fire department. MTF Pi-1 is to terminate any cases of SCP-2742 through the use of high pressure fire hoses. Civilians insisting on entering an instance of SCP-2741 are to be detained and have one class B amnestic administered. Any apparatus used to contain or handle SCP-274 should either be incinerated or entirely composed of metal or glass and washed thoroughly immediately after use. The cover story for a containment breach of SCP-274 should be gang-related arson. Description SCP-274 is a paint of variable color. Buildings inflicted with SCP-274 appear to have large amounts of graffiti covering the sides of the building and often have large disturbing designs to them. While its consistency is that of normal paint, its composition reveals it to be 28% hemoglobin, 12% gastric acid, and 60% common components consisted with Krylon brand spray paint. When SCP-274 is applied to a wall, it will begin to spread until it has covered the wall and any walls attached to it. SCP-274 is unable to spread on metal, glass, and horizontal surfaces. While SCP-274 spreads on buildings, it will convert the interior of a wall into a large mesoglia, the interior walls into a gastrodermis, and the exterior walls act as a protective shell and epidermis. Buildings coated entirely with SCP-274 will become cases of SCP-274-1. SCP-274-1 exhibit signs of life, react to stimuli, and behave in a manner similar to many species of the Anthazoa class. Buildings converted into SCP-274-1 lore passing civilians by noises from inside SCP-274-1. Sounds of glass breaking, loud coughing, or pained whimpers have all been reported from D-Class personnel. It is currently unknown whether SCP-274-1 or the SCP-274-2s are responsible for this behavior as the noises stop immediately after entry. Typically, civilians rather call the police or investigate the noises themselves. As subjects search inside SCP-274-1, they will be recognized as food by instances of SCP-274-2, if any are present. When a victim enters a room inside SCP-274-1, barring the entryway, they will immediately be suctioned into a gastrovascular cavity belonging to SCP-274-1, later processing them into SCP-274, and one instance of SCP-274-2. Specimens of SCP-274-2 are organisms composed of SCP-274 that appear as men or women wearing a gas mask or respirator, along with a bright pastel colored hoodie. SCP-274-2 is able to support its heavy weight by its thickness and density in its membrane, which consists of 45-50% of the mass of SCP-274-2. SCP-274-2 act as nematocysts for SCP-274-1 and can disguise themselves by merging into the walls. This is done by heavily compacting themselves and implanting itself into an interior wall, save for their mask, which flattens around the wall and disguises itself as standard graffiti. This behavior has proven to be a means of ambushing food for SCP-274-1 and will only react when it detects something it considers a food source. SCP-274-2 possesses a hinged operculum that ejects SCP-274 located in the right hand. This operculum looks identical to a normal spray can and can project SCP-274 in a similar manner. SCP-274-2 will attempt to spray SCP-274 into the eyes and mouth of its victims in an attempt to incapacitate and encapsulate them. This method of attack has shown to be very painful and will blind and numb the victim from the neck down. Once tagged, the victim is placed into a gastrovascular cavity, resulting in a new SCP-274-2. SCP-274-2 are able to duplicate themselves while inside an instance of SCP-274-1 and will produce one new SCP-274-2 every 24 hours. Once 12 SCP-274-2 specimens reside inside one SCP-274-1, further cases of SCP-274-2 will leave SCP-274-1 and find a new building to spray with SCP-274, while avoiding any people they may encounter. Once a building at least two kilometers away from another SCP-274-1 is found, the SCP-274-2 will spray SCP-274 onto the building until it has completely dehydrated itself of SCP-274 and dies, resulting in another instance of SCP-274-1. If left unchecked, it is estimated that SCP-274 could cover a large city within 20 days. Addendum 274 SCP-274-1 Appearance Log Date Found A 1-2001 Appearance SCP-274-1-1 is painted to resemble a large bus with the number 1 on its side. The front of the bus has been replaced by a human-like face and the back is on fire. Bus patrons all look towards the front of the bus and do not seem to react to the fire. Date Found 04-2006 Appearance SCP-274-1-2 is painted to look as if it's crumbling apart. At the base, people are illustrated to be running away from SCP-274-1-2 and a face can be seen forming from the falling rubble. Date Found 03-2010 Appearance SCP-274-1-3 depicts a beach with three sharks in the water and several people running from the shore. This scene is illustrated behind a large cartoon tiki statue which takes up most of the front of SCP-274-1-3. Date Found 08-2011 Appearance SCP-274-1-4 illustrates what is presumed to be Noah's Ark at sea. The creatures boarding the Ark do not match any known species. The Ark is depicted to have a face with several sharp teeth and eyes devoid of pupils or irises. Date Found 11-2011 Appearance SCP-274-1-5 depicts several figures in level 3 biohazard suits at the base. Figures are seen fighting each other for what appears to be a bottle of hand sanitizer. Several cadavers are piled on top of one another in the background, with a large green cloud in the shape of a canine-like face emitting from them. This face is shown laughing, presumably at the people fighting. Date Found 07-2012 Appearance SCP-274-1-6 is painted to resemble a mausoleum, with a large human skull painted on its front. Illustrated at the base of SCP-274-1-6 are figures suffering from advanced stages of rigor mortis. Most notable is that several figures appear to be wearing the standard issue tactical armor distributed to MTF-PI-1. Date Found 08-2012 Appearance SCP-274-1-7 is decorated with the scene of MTF-PI-1 setting SCP-274-1-7 on fire through the use of Molotov cocktails. A large depiction of SCP-274-2 can be seen attacking MTF-PI-1. Date Found 08-2012 Appearance Data Expunged Operatives Dead As a result of a large mob of SCP-274-2 Item Number SCP-280 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures SCP-280 is to be contained in a 5x5 meter cell, and no equipment of any kind is to be left inside when staff are not present. Containment areas to be kept in total darkness at all times. Any items taken into the containment cell must be removed by staff at the end of testing, and any staff entering into containment must wear infrared goggles, and be equipped with an infrared ID strobe and a strong flashlight. In the event of an SCP-280 attack, all staff are to power on their flashlights and illuminate the subject under attack. No aggressive action is to be taken against SCP-280, and staff are to keep one meter from SCP-280 at all times. Staff should continue to illuminate SCP-280 until it retreats to a sufficient distance to allow the recovery and extraction of the subject of the attack. Description SCP-280 is a black human-shaped mass, with two large white eyes on the head, and two hands, with very long and thin fingers. No feet or legs are visible, as the lower portion of the body appears to fade away several centimeters from the ground. SCP-280 appears to be wholly composed of a matter that can gain or lose corporeal form. This matter is very black, with only the eyes showing any other color, and when changing to a non-corporeal form, looks much like smoke. The eyes are non-functioning, and appear only when SCP-280 is retreating, appearing to be used like eye spots on some insects. SCP-280 is very strong, and has been observed pulling apart steel with its hands, showing no sign of stress. SCP-280 moves with a gliding motion, with its hands extended, described as a sleepwalker pose by observers. SCP-280 will move slowly towards any human beings and attempt to attack them. SCP-280 appears to sense human life. No limit has yet been found on this ability. SCP-280 will approach to within 14 centimeters of a subject, and then use its hands to pull and tear at the subject, causing massive physical trauma. The attack can last between 1 and 5 minutes, and will continue until the death of the subject, at which point, SCP-280 will expose its eyes, lose corporeal form, and move to the next human. If no humans are present, SCP-280 will move and ball up against a wall or other structure, until a human being is again present. SCP-280 will retreat slowly from light, exposing its eyes in the direction of the light, or at any nearby humans. This has been described as extremely disconcerting by those who have been stared at. If the area that SCP-280 currently resides in becomes fully illuminated, or there is a very bright burst of light, SCP-280 will fade away and reappear in another area. This appears to be done purely as a defensive response to light, and will not be used to follow or attack prey. SCP-280 does not appear to eat, breathe, or sleep. It does not ingest any of the tissue removed during an attack, and simply drops it to tear a new piece. Due to its ability to become incorporeal at will, and its aggressive nature, no samples of SCP-280 have been collected. Addendum, Notes on Recovery SCP-280 was recovered in Mississippi after several reports of locked room murders and child deaths. All were reported as being extremely vicious, and victims were, quote, horribly mangled. The foundation became involved after a family of five was murdered in their home. A survivor was found in the basement, nine-year-old David who had come over for a sleepover. He was found in an advanced state of shock, holding a flashlight and unresponsive to outside stimulus. During an investigation of the basement, an officer was attacked and badly mutilated. His statement attracted the interest of foundation agents. During recovery, SCP-280 was temporarily lost due to its ability to teleport when exposed to high levels of light. It was also observed that SCP-280 is frequently discounted as a shadow when seen in the dark, or dismissed as clothing, hair, or another object when accidentally touched in the dark. When tracking a subject, SCP-280 will remain incorporeal until the moment of attack, causing some to walk very close to or through SCP-280. Subjects report a feeling of dread and unease when inside SCP-280. SCP-280 usually does not respond to this, but will sometimes expose its eyes and enter its retreating posture when passed through. No pattern has emerged for this behavior. Addendum, notes following testing. During a series of extensive testing of the effects of various illumination sources on SCP-280's retreat reflex, SCP-280 broke containment. SCP-280 was observed to repeatedly appear and dissipate throughout the illuminated site, progressing through the sub-levels, and eventually appearing in SCP-1591's containment chamber. Upon being exposed to SCP-1591, SCP-280 displayed its eyes, but did not retreat. The entity paused and knelt for several minutes before de-manifestation. SCP-280 reappeared in itself several hours later without incident. Item number, SCP-337. Object Class, Euclid. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-337 is to be kept within a steel reinforced 0.5 meter thick, polished cement containment chamber at all times. Chamber walls must be inspected weakly for cracks and resealed as needed. Access will only be available via a two-stage vaulted steel door system with a seal tolerance not to exceed 100 micrometers. Anti-chamber between the doors is to be fitted with multiple remote-operated liquid-propellant flamethrowers. Both chambers are to be externally monitored with wireless security cameras. Damage or repositioning of cameras should be reported immediately. A self-contained water recycling shower system will be positioned at the far end of the internal chamber. The system's water supply and filters are to be changed on a monthly basis. Personnel assigned to SCP-337 must maintain all head and body hair at no longer than four centimeters, and will submit to regular full-body inspection to ensure compliance. Any personnel entering the chamber must be escorted by two guards, armed with portable flamethrowers. Following incident 337A, class D personnel involved in testing must be strapped into a restraining gurney and sedated prior to entry. Once per week, one class D personnel will be stripped of hair measuring longer than five centimeters using the Solomon technique. An attendant must immediately deliver the hair into the chamber and permit the object to feed. During this time, the attendant will sweep the floor clean of shedding using a standard broom and dustpan. Following incident 337C, vacuum cleaners are not permitted for use within 15 meters of SCP-337 containment unless specifically authorized.  The object's shape and dimensions are tremendously variable. SCP-337 is fully animate, capable of a wide range of locomotion, and can exert force in excess of 18 kilo newtons. It also seems to possess some low level of sentience, although attempts at communication have thus far met with limited success. The object is able to manipulate any hair directly connected to its central mass, with precision down to the individual strand. The method by which SCP-337 mobilizes its components is still under investigation. Analysis of filaments attached to the object has shown them to be identical to regular human hair, and strands that are periodically shed from the object are similarly normal, aside from being drained of pigmentation. Filaments display typical tensile strength and can be easily damaged by fire, blades, or consumer grade chemical clog remover. Although it displays no obvious sensory organs, SCP-337 is highly aware of its surroundings, and may even possess perceptive abilities exceeding those of humans. For the most part, these senses are tuned towards detecting and acquiring its principal form of sustenance, fresh human hair. When a human being with any hair measuring longer than 5 cm comes within approximately 30 meters of SCP-337, it enters what could be described as a predatory state, rapidly braiding together several dense tendrils of hair in the direction of its prey. The object's range of perception seems to be unhindered by the walls of its containment chamber. The object will then close in on its target at great speed, attempting to overtake and envelop it. When successful, SCP-337 restrains the subject's limbs and begins to harvest all hair of sufficient length from the body. Hair is painlessly removed from the dermis at the base, root included. It is immediately incorporated into the object's mass via knotting or weaving. Patterns of bruising, bleeding, and sebaceous eruption on subjects following feedings suggest follicles are partially loosened from the inner sheath prior to extraction. This appears to sometimes accelerate hair regrowth, even in regions where it is typically stunted. To date, researchers have failed to replicate this effect artificially. While SCP-337 was found in a filthy state at time of recovery, it has since demonstrated a preference for cleanliness. Not long after initial containment, the object managed to escape its temporary enclosure through a narrow, 2 cm in diameter, wiring duct. It was discovered on site several hours later in the fourth floor women's washroom, where it emerged from a drain and consumed the hair of two showering researchers. A security team arrived shortly thereafter to find SCP-337 under a running shower tap, lathering itself with shampoo left behind by the women. Once containment was reestablished, SCP-337's enclosure was fitted with its present bathing accommodations and a supply of hair conditioning product. The object's rate of shedding has since decreased dramatically. Note, SCP-337 may seem to prefer live feedings, but it will still readily consume hair that has already been removed from a human host, provided the follicles intact and the root has only been detached for a few minutes. We have established a means of accomplishing this extraction just as effectively, if not as painlessly, as the object's method. To limit risk of cross-contamination, Class-D personnel should only be exposed to SCP-337 for approved testing purposes.  Dr. Br— Addendum SCP-337 has demonstrated the ability to grow well beyond its present mass, through the accumulation of additional hair. It was discovered in the plumbing system of a large nursing home facility in Br— Pennsylvania. In 19 Br— after Agent Br— noticed a story entitled, Sewer Snake Scalp Senior Citizens in a local newspaper. A team was dispatched to investigate under the guise of a fumigation-contracting company. After evacuating residents to another facility, agents cut off all water and sewage lines in the building, monitoring sink and shower drains for any side of the object. When a portion of SCP-337 finally emerged, it attempted to couple with Agent Br— Cranium, only to be intercepted by his weapons bayonet. The tendril immediately retracted into the drain, after which time the object was not sighted again for more than 45 minutes. Coordinated deployment of chemical clog remover forced the object to exit through pipes in the facility's basement-level utility room, where several agents were on hand to apprehend it with portable flamethrowers. However, the agents were unprepared for the sheer size of the object, which quickly filled the lower level of the building. In the confusion, a sizable portion of SCP-337 was ignited. The resulting blaze spread quickly throughout the facility. Most on the upper floors were able to flee the structure before it collapsed, but several agents did not escape in time. SCP-337 managed to extricate its remaining mass through the building's ventilation system, shedding burning components as it went. When it finally amassed in the facility's parking lot, it was estimated to be over 1 meter tall. Surviving members of the intervention team converged around the object, and successfully corralled it within the lot using flame propellant until support arrived. By the time SCP-337 was contained, it had lost more than 90% of its original mass. The fire and subsequent destruction of the nursing home was officially blamed on faulty wiring, and damages were settled out of court. Displaced residents were transferred to a foundation-operated nursing facility, where amnesiacs were administered as required and data expunged without incident. Incident-337A Personnel Involved Dr. Solomon D-28803 Date Undisclosed Description 10.26 AM Dr. Solomon and two guards enter anti-chamber of SCP-337 containment area, escorting D-28803 for scheduled testing. D-28803's hands and ankles are cuffed. He is moderately uncooperative, pleading not to be taken into the chamber. Rumors of a haircut monster are widespread among Class D personnel on site. 10.27 AM Dr. Solomon assures D-28803 that he is completely safe. She firmly reminds him that his cooperation is beneficial to them both. 10.29 AM All personnel enter in her chamber. SCP-337 has already extended several tendrils in direction of D-28803. D-28803 shouts multiple expletives, attempts to move toward exit, is restrained. 10.30 AM SCP-337 closes in on D-28803. D-28803 produces a small pair of shears that had previously been hidden in his waistband. D-28803 still cuffed, rests free from guards, and lunges at SCP-337, screaming. 10.30 AM D-28803 thrusts shears into SCP-337, managing to sever one of the object's tendrils. SCP-337 recoils as if in pain. 10.30 AM SCP-337 envelops D-28803. Dr. Solomon shouts something unintelligible to guards. A muffled cry is heard, followed by a wet-sounding thump. 10.31 AM Guards engage pilot lights of flamethrowers. SCP-337 retreats, disentangling itself from its host. D-28803 collapses to the ground. Body is hairless. Shears are buried up to the handle in the center of D-28803's forehead. Dense hair later discovered in nostrils, trachea, lungs. 10.32 AM Personnel exit containment chamber with corpse. Incident 337-B Personnel involved. Dr. Warren herein referred to as Dr. R. Date undisclosed. Description 457 p.m. Dr. R and two guards enter anti-chamber of SCP-337 containment area. No D-class personnel are present. Object has refused feeding for two consecutive weeks. SCP-337's former handler, Dr. Solomon, was killed one month prior in an unrelated incident. 4.58 p.m. All personnel enter in her chamber. SCP-337 is spread out in a loose pile in center of room, braiding and unbraiding three tendrils. Dr. R approaches object. 4.59 p.m. Dr. R extends a large bottle of herbal shampoo toward SCP-337. SCP-337 stops braiding and retracts tendrils into itself. 5 p.m. A thick bulb-shaped extrusion of hair emerges at a 45-degree angle from the top of SCP-337. Hair contorts and intertwines on the bulb until detail begins to emerge. 5.01 p.m. Dr. R drops the bottle. SCP-337 has produced a crude but recognizable likeness of the late Dr. Solomon. 5.01 p.m. Dr. R stumbles back from the object. Both guards rush to support him. SCP-337 turns to follow Dr. R so that the head formation continues to face him. 5.02 p.m. The researcher appears severely distraught. She's gone, okay? She's gone! 5.02 p.m. Guards attempt to usher Dr. R to the exit. R grabs the handle portion of a guard's flamethrower and directs it at SCP-337. 5.02 p.m. Nearest guard punches Dr. R in the jaw. He crumples. Guards restrain the researcher and drag him to the exit. SCP-337 remains still, continuing to direct the head formation toward R. 5.03 p.m. All personnel exit containment chamber. The head retracts back into SCP-337, dissolving again into shapeless hair. After a moment, it retrieves the shampoo bottle from the floor and begins to lather itself. Note, this incident is troublesome for a number of reasons. There is no indication that Dr. R was in any way psychically affected by SCP-337, as some have proposed. The man had recently lost a close colleague, and psychiatric analysis after the incident revealed he was much more bereaved about it than he let on. Nevertheless, his reaction to the object's behavior seems illogically severe. It also squandered our first, and so far only, opportunity to engage in communication with the object. We are fortunate that SCP-337 returned to its former behavior patterns not long after the incident. For now, personnel assigned to SCP-337 should undergo periodic psychological evaluation until we know more. I also recommend rotating handlers for the object on a regular basis, so that no one becomes too...attached. Dr. R Item Number SCP-352 Object Class Ketter Special Containment Procedures Containment area is to remain sealed at all times. No human interaction is allowed with SCP-352. Any and all interaction should be carried out via robot or other remote means.  In addition, security lines must be attached to all personnel. Should any personnel begin to exhibit erratic behavior, they are to be immediately removed from the containment area via the security lines. Any staff reporting hallucinations after interaction with SCP-352 or her hair are to immediately be placed under quarantine. Any staff working in or around the containment area must submit to random psychological and physical testing. Anyone found to be contaminated will be placed into immediate quarantine. Staff attacked by SCP-352 may only be recovered if they have not been bitten by SCP-352. SCP-352 is to be fed only once weekly. Feeding will be discontinued for one month if SCP-352 attacks any personnel. Description SCP-352 appears to be a very old emaciated woman of indeterminate age and race. SCP-352 speaks old Russian, but with an accent and dialect that makes translation very difficult. SCP-352 is extremely unwilling to communicate, with most of the conversations thus far made primarily of threats or statements of revenge. SCP-352 has never identified herself by any name, and due to her aggressive nature, it has been impossible to determine any background information. SCP-352 possesses a level of strength and speed much higher than what should be possible for a person of her perceived age in physical dimensions, and has been shown moving loads in excess of 200 kilograms with little physical strain, and moving at speeds in excess of 70 kilometers an hour. SCP-352 can recover from wounds that would be lethal to a human being, including decapitation and disemboweling. This regeneration can take between several days to several weeks, depending on severity. Internally, SCP-352 appears to be a normal human woman, with muscles, bones, and organs in a state consistent with advanced age. Testing done on tissue samples has been inconclusive. SCP-352 is capable of growing very thin, hair-like strands from any part of her body, apparently at will. These strands can grow several meters in an hour, and appear to be at least partially under the control of SCP-352. They have been observed crawling along floors and up walls and other structures. These hairs are clear and nearly invisible to the naked eye, and appear to be slightly weaker than standard human hair. The strands are also coated in a thin layer of chemical enzyme, identical to the enzyme in the saliva of SCP-352. SCP-352 produces an enzyme that is most concentrated in the saliva and hair, but is present in all bodily tissues of SCP-352. How it is produced and its exact chemical makeup are unknown. This enzyme reacts on contact with human tissue and rapidly attacks the nervous system. Symptoms manifest almost immediately and include hallucinations, euphoria, suppression of cognitive or logical thinking, and suppression of pain receptors. This state persists for several days with mild exposure, and can become permanent with high exposure. Bites from SCP-352 lead to high exposure in 99.9% of cases. SCP-352 appears to subsist on a carnivorous diet, with a strong preference for human flesh. SCP-352 will create a web of hair, and wait for prey to become exposed to the enzyme and become more docile. SCP-352 will often remove and eat the limbs of a prey item, to prevent it from wandering away, and can take several days to fully devour prey. Humans have been observed to still be in a euphoric state, and have no knowledge of the outside world, even as they suffer the loss of limbs and other bodily tissue. Addendum, notes on recovery. SCP-352 was recovered in southern Russia, near the town of reports of an enchanted forest, and a witch who had caused several deaths were initially ignored, until reports of the witch being found and captured began to surface. When Foundation agents responded, the town was found deserted. Several bodies were found in varying states of decomposition, and blood trails appeared to show many more bodies being dragged into the enchanted forest. Recovery teams were dispatched, and captured SCP-352, but suffered heavy casualties due to SCP-352's attack and exposure to the enzyme. A large amount of hair was recovered as well, and is believed to be the cause of many exposure incidents, with contact being attributed to spider webs, or an agent's own hair, and not reported until hallucinations manifested. Addendum, notes on behavior. While SCP-352 prefers any type of human flesh over any other type of meat, it appears to have a special propensity for children between zero and two years of age. After observation of highly elevated levels of cooperation, and a reduced tendency to attack staff while consuming flesh of this type, a possible alteration in the current diet is being considered. Addendum, the use of SCP-604 and SCP-1680 as a more efficient food source for SCP-352 is currently pending approval from the project director following initial testing. Item Number SCP-359 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-359 is to be contained within a 30 meter by 30 meter by 30 meter concrete structure. This structure is not to be entered between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. local standard time. Any monitoring of SCP-359 during these hours is to be done via security cameras, installed within the structure.  Acceptable substitutions to this diet must be cleared with agent and doctor. All remnants of SCP-359's prey are to be completely cleaned out of the containment structure by 8.45 p.m. the following day. Description SCP-359 appears to be a metal sculpture of a red-tailed hawk with a wingspan of approximately 4.3 meters perched atop a 12 meter arch. During daylight hours, approximately 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. local standard time, it displays no signs of movement and does not respond to any external stimuli. However, it has been determined by the foundation that between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. it displays the typical behaviors of an adult red-tailed hawk, apart from being nocturnal. SCP-359 is apparently capable of flight. The mechanisms through which it accomplishes this have not been determined as its wings are too short to allow for flight. SCP-359 was originally located just south of... in the United States. It first came to the foundation's attention when local foresters began finding dead bodies of white-tailed deer that are coyly as Virginianus in the area within a 1 kilometer radius of the sculpture, which looked to have been preyed upon. The white-tailed deer has no natural predators in the state of... Investigation officially began when motorists on the stretch of state route that passes by SCP-359 reported that the hawk was not on top of the arch. On the same day, a local farmer reported finding the sculpture in his field, standing over the body of one of his cows, which had injuries consistent with predation by a large bird of prey. The farmer was administered a Class A amnestic and fed the story that the cow had died of natural causes and its body eaten by coyotes. Route B was closed for repairs, and SCP-359 was transferred to its current containment site and replaced with an immobile replica. Addendum 1 Prior to containment, no evidence existed that SCP-359 had ever attempted to prey on anything besides hoofed mammals. However, since being contained, it has attacked, killed, and eaten four D-class personnel who entered its containment structure during restricted hours. Investigation into the cause of this shift in dietary preferences is ongoing. Item Number SCP-363 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures SCP-363 specimens are contained in a 2 meter by 2 meter by 2 meter room, that is to be constantly illuminated by high-powered lighting. This lighting must be connected to multiple redundant power sources, and in case of total system failure, Mobile Task Force 8-7 is to be dispatched to assess the threat. SCP-363 is to be fed 20 lab mice, administered once every 48 hours. Description Ostensibly, SCP-363 are identical to Scolopendra Gigantia, or the Amazonian Giant Centipede. Dietary needs are identical, and DNA inspection has proven no dissimilarities to normal S. Gigantia. SCP-363 is, under normal circumstances, the appropriate size for S. Gigantia, in darkness. Darkness defined here is any level of light under 2 lux, which it actively seeks out however. SCP-363 will grow rapidly and erratically, to sizes up to and exceeding 10 meters by 2 meters. SCP-363 does not retain the form of a centipede under these conditions. So far, reports have documented proboscisces, tentacles, highly elongated mandibles, an inconsistent number of eyes and legs, and, in one case, data expunged. SCP-363 will revert back to normal size and appearance after 2-3 hours of illumination of a level of at least 50 lux. SCP-363 will attack any animal emitting body heat, and appears to be able to detect and hunt in total darkness. It is assumed it uses other senses to hunt, with vision in a secondary position. Reproductive cycle of SCP-363 is similar to that of normal S. Gigantia, with one difference. Rather than in a cluster of leaves and dirt, eggs are laid and fertilized in the cavity of paralyzed data expunged, followed by death. Addendum 1. Note from Dr. Scalder. We've determined that fire seems to scare or ward off SCP-363. In light of this, we've equipped three of the members of MTF-807, Creepy Crawlies, with military-issue M2A-17 flamethrowers. Addendum 2.

addendum 3734 for maximum efficiency in gathering intelligence regarding SCP 373 a entities all records used with SCP 373 should be 33 and a half rpm vinyl albums with lyric heavy songs or spoken word tracks audiobooks comedy albums and other principally speech based records are encouraged principally instrumental or orchestral music is forbidden description SCP 373 is an antique disc phonograph player markings on the machine indicate it was built in 19 an additional label indicates that the device was modified in late 1940 at a facility called laboratories ink the device is composed of a crank operated turntable embedded in a wooden case a tone arm with an aluminum stylus and a slightly tarnished silver horn SCP 373 appears to have the ability to modify the audio of any record player on it according to particular patterns specifically research has demonstrated that approximately every fourth word or phrase will be altered from the originally recorded song or monologue these new words can be organized sequentially to reveal what appear to be statements from a series of unknown entities these entities have been named SCP 373 a x with x to be replaced with a numerical identification as entities are discovered the entity is able to communicate for the duration of each instance of the playing of the record upon the next playing of the same record the same entity will be speaking but will claim not to recall the previous conversation due to the stilted nature of the communication it is rare for the entities to communicate any significant amount of information to foundation researchers before the end of the record however research has demonstrated that two-way communication is possible by lifting the needle from the record while it spins and speaking into the horn any attempted useful communication requires both parties speak while the record spins at the speed at which optimal playback was intended all scp 373 a entities report that speaking into the horn with the record slowed or stopped results in a high-pitched squeal for the entity and vice versa testing with anomalies such as scp 043 and scp 1668 did not initially produce data however analysis of audio taken during testing has shown the presence of at least two distinct breathing patterns being broadcast from scp 373 further scheduled testing is currently under consideration addendum 373 one a

termination addendum 373 to scp 373 entities have been showing a greater tendency to present themselves as relatives or close friends of foundation personnel in the last two months this has begun to take place in spite of deliberate efforts to choose records at random statistical probability suggests it to be highly unlikely that we have been selecting these particular individuals without some influence on the part of scp 373 requesting a halt to testing until a pattern can be discerned researcher lucas addendum 373 request approved head researcher addendum 3734 four different researchers have been caught over the last three weeks attempting to access scp 373 for personal purposes in one instance a researcher successfully began to use a record already believed to contain one scp 373 a entity at which point he was able to communicate with his deceased daughter present opinion among site 38 command is that scp 373 is deliberately manipulating its users into emotional distress additionally given the disregard for security protocols being shown now by experienced foundation researchers in the face of scp 373 we are forced to conclude that the object becomes increasingly determined to force individuals to use it as time passes between usage much in the way predators become increasingly desperate as time passes after feeding suggesting that d-class personnel be allowed to use scp 373 twice weekly in order to prevent further deterioration of conditions here researcher lucas addendum 3735 request approved head researcher item number scp 382 object class euclid special containment procedures scp 3821 is to be stored in a standard site containment room inside a 1.5 by 1.5 by 1.5 meter plexiglass box of 5 centimeter thickness at minimum a video camera is to be kept trained on it at all times though this is merely for observational purposes due to the area of influence and deleterious nature of scp 382's effect it should only be removed from its enclosure for testing purposes with staff observing from a remote location no personnel class d or otherwise should interact with scp 3821 for more than two hours unless accompanied by at least one armed agent description in its inactive state scp 3821 is a large baby carriage manufactured in 19 by in england its age shows metal components are heavily rusted the rubber of the tires is brittle and the cushion is missing scp 3822 appears to be an infant months old extremely emaciated with several injuries that seem to vary with each manifestation on different occasions scp 3822 has shown heavy bruising broken bones and sometimes data expunged despite which 3822 could still make vocalizations although it is unknown how this was possible when scp 3821 is not being interacted with scp 3822 manifests every two minutes staying between and minutes however when a person places their hands on the handlebars of the carriage 3822 will instantly manifest and the period of time of both disappearance and reappearance will decrease to approximately one second any person who makes visual contact with scp 3821 from now on referred to as the subject is compelled to approach it and place their hands on its handlebar while manifesting only intermittently scp 3822 appears to compound the effect when the subject sees it this effect does not transmit through video feeds transparent objects or anything else that would separate scp 3821 and its victim and once the subject is in contact with scp 3821 no one else will be influenced until the subject has died and scp 382 has reset as soon as the subject comes into physical contact with scp 3821 and scp 3822 has manifested they appear to enter a trance in which they will propel scp 3821 in a small circle and make noises directed at scp 3822 apparently intended to be soothing as time passes the subject will begin to weaken and their body will begin to degrade while scp 3821 slowly begins to take on a new shinier appearance rust will begin to flake off revealing shiny metal underneath the rubber wheels will become more supple and a velvet cushion will appear inside at the same time each successive manifestation of scp 3822 will appear with fewer and fewer injuries while looking less and less emaciated the subject will continue to interact with scp 382 up until just under two hours at which point they will perish due to massive widespread organ failure once the subject is perished scp 3822 will disappear and scp 3821 will return to its former derelict appearance within 30 minutes addendum 382a on date expunged my research team and i began testing to determine whether a person of sufficient youth and physical fitness could sustain interaction with scp 382 past the two hour mark d 382 gt f 87 i was chosen for his age and because he had been a physical trainer prior to data expunged and kept in shape throughout his incarceration at his exposure to scp 382 proceeded as normal though the physical degradation appeared to progress at a slower rate than previous test subjects after the two hour mark with d 382 gt f 87 i still living though an extremely poor condition scp 3822 manifested as usual but did not disappear one second later scp 3822 then data expunged consuming the then mummified corpse of d 382 gt f 87 i and proceeded to data expunged fortunately only one other class d was killed before scp 3822 was terminated by agent but the event has necessitated the amending of the scp 3822 special containment procedures somewhat i don't feel that this warrants a change in classification level doctor
