Welcome, I welcome you all to this lecture in the course Sandhi in Paninian grammar. In this lecture, we shall study some strategies of Sandhi's splitting and we shall take some concrete examples. We shall also briefly deal with the scenarios possible situations where Sandhi's splitting is extremely important and needed. In this course, so far we have studied Sandhi in light of the sutras given by Panini. We studied five topics popularly known as Pancha Sandhi, Prakaranam in the traditional Paninian grammatical tradition. We studied At Sandhi, Vavel Sandhi, Hal Sandhi, Consonant Sandhi. Then we also studied Visarga Sandhi and Swadhi Sandhi. Finally, we studied also where Sandhi does not happen, namely Prakriti Bhava, where sounds remain in their own form without getting any modification even when uttered in close proximity or Samhita. These sutras and the Sandhis that are generated by them and the knowledge of them is important for us to know the phenomenon called Sandhi. This knowledge can be applied in order to generate Sanskrit sentences and also in splitting the Sanskrit sentences into its constant events when a particular given text is given or an effort is made to understand a given text. So, here are some strategies of Sandhi splitting and we have taken Srimad Bhagavad Gita as a text to be split. This is the text from which we shall cite examples. First of all, let us study the possible situations where we may face the need of splitting the Sandhi. For example, if one is deciphering a manuscript written in a style which is marked with no full stops at the end of the sentence and the first task for the reader or the researcher in this case is to mark the boundaries of the unit in the form of a sentence. So, splitting the text in sentence units is the primary task for this particular reader and further splitting the sentence unit into words is the next task only then one will be able to make the meaning of the text under study. Here are the screenshots of the two palm leaves and this is a manuscript written on palm leaves. As you see the text is written down horizontally one after another without any visible break in between to indicate a unit called sentence. If you look at these leaves closely you might figure out that there are some marks to indicate a bigger unit in the form of a particular section a particular sutra and the commentary on it. These manuscript pictures reveal also the fact that the manuscripts can get worm eaten. There is this portion over here which is almost broken and illegible and then one has to decipher this particular text from this particular manuscript and in order to do that one need to figure out the boundaries. These two holes that you see in between they are the ones through which the thread is put and then all such palm leaves are bound together. If you notice even the color of the two palm leaves may differ. If you take a closer look at one of them you will find these following pictures and these letters. Now you see these are letters written one after another without there being any mark of any break in terms of a unit. So it becomes a very difficult task for researcher to go through such manuscripts which are the original sources of the texts and then make the meaning of the text. Now in such a scenario Sandhi splitting strategy if known becomes extremely important. Knowledge of Sandhi the sutras etc the examples etc that comes in very handy in this particular task. Here is another clearer picture in which also there are no visible marks indicating the end of a particular unit and so even here we would need information about Sandhi in order to separate units. Here you see numbers 11 and 12. So this is the portion which talks about the 11th sutra in the first sub chapter of the third chapter of the Ashtadhyayi. This is what is written over here and this is what is written over here these are sutras and what follows is the commentary. Now of course in this particular manuscript which is written in a clearer manner one may say that there is some space some additional space that is given at the end of a sentence unit. True sometimes this does help but imagine a condition where those are also not there and then one will be in real trouble and knowledge of Sandhi would become extremely helpful. The second possible situation is that one is reading a printed text. A text is already printed and one is making the meaning of that particular text in order to comprehend the content of it. For example there are several people who want to understand what for example Srimad Bhagavad Gita says. What are the meanings of the words that are part of this particular text? What is the content? The general content many people know about but how does that content come along through the words? This particular intention draws readers and scholars towards such texts. Knowledge of Sandhi becomes the very first tool in their hand and they also sometimes once they gain proficiency they try to interpret the text in a particular way that they want and thereby they learn more about the language and in particular about the text. Thus enriching the overall learning experience and remaining also academically based. This is the possible situation and once again knowledge of Sandhi rules becomes an extremely important tool in this particular endeavor as well. The third possible situation is preparing a computational tool such that if an undissolved string is submitted to this tool as an input it would return the dissolved string as an output. Similarly if separated words are submitted to this particular tool as an input the tool should be such that it would return the combined string as an output. This could be the other possible situation and once again Paninian knowledge of Sandhi rules will come in handy in this endeavor as well. Now let us take examples from Srimad Bhagavad Gita and try to figure out strategies with the help of which Sandhis can be identified and split. These strategies could be helpful in all the three scenarios that we described earlier. Let us take the very first line. This letter Mo and S they are put in a different color blue color to indicate that they could be the possible candidates of Sandhi or a substitute. So, what is the mark? How do we identify that there is a Sandhi over here? One simple clue that is provided in the printed edition in this case is that there is an S in between two letters. This generally would not happen when S is put in between two letters that is a primary indication that there is a Sandhi over here. This is further confirmed when observed that the previous vowel is O in Prathamo. Now we know that this vowel O can be dissolved as one substitute in place of two substitute elements. This kind of scenario. So, O will be a combination of O plus O and however we should note that this can happen in a specific environment namely that O should be at the end of a Prathamo or should be at the beginning of the next Prathamo. In this particular environment O can be said to be combined of O plus O. So, O is the substitute that comes in place of two substituents O plus O. O is at the end of a Prathamo and O is at the beginning of the second Prathamo. If we apply this knowledge to Prathamo Dhyayaha, we note that Prathamo Dhyayaha can be split into these two components Prathamo and Adhyayaha. Now if we check if these two could be possible paddhas, we come to know that Adhyayaha is one slash one of Adhyaya. Adhyaya means a chapter as given in the lexicon. So, as far as the right hand side is concerned its form, its shape is confirmed. Now if we go to the left hand side Prathamo, we note that Prathamo is not part of any derived word. However Prathamo has got a subword string Pratham which matches with the part of the lexeme Prathamo meaning first. We note this and then we move ahead and concentrate on this O in Prathamo once again. Now this O coming at the end of a paddha is more likely to be a sandhi rather than a subanta form of Prathamo. Why we say so is because there is no such form which is a subanta that is derived from Prathamo that is found in the corpus and also lexicon. Given this fact the probability that this O is a substitution in place of two substituents namely O and O takes us forward to split Prathamo into Prathamo plus O. Now if we put Prathamo plus O in place of Prathamo because we split Prathamo Adhyayaha as Prathamo and Adhyayaha. Now this Prathamo can be replaced by Prathamo plus O and so now we have a scenario where we have O plus O at the end of the paddha followed by another paddha that begins with O. I repeat O plus O at the end of this first paddha followed immediately by another paddha which begins with O.  Now we know that in this environment O at this particular position at the end of the paddha and in this environment meaning thereby that preceded by short O and followed by another short O. We know that this environment is the output of the sutra 61113 So now we go back to the input of 61113 which is RU in this environment and at the word final position and so we get O plus O plus O as the substitute or the sandhi and we go back to the input and that input is O plus RU plus O, O plus RU plus O. Ator or Apuluta the Apulute says that this RU coming at the end of a paddha which is preceded by short O and followed by short O is substituted by O. So this is the output. Now we are going backwards from the output we are now going to the input while learning the sutras our direction was from the input to the output. Now we are going from output to the input. After having come here after having reached this particular stage we further go back to another sutra namely 8266 whose output matches with this particular string O plus RU plus O and we know that the input for 8266 is SIR for the output RU.  This SIR occurring at the end of the paddha preceded by short O and followed by another short O. We have a clue here to recognize that 8266 applies over here. We discuss this fact when we studied this particular sandhi we said that this is an exception to the asiddha principle. 8266 applies first and produces RU as the output. Now this RU becomes an input for 6113 which provides the output in the form of O. This is the exception to the asiddha principle. Now we also know that SIR is a 1 slash 1 suffix as per S412 and then it is SU stated over there with O as a marker marked by 132 or 9. So now we are sure that this is 1 slash 1 of prathama which is otherwise shown as prathamaha. We also find that this 1 slash 1 in prathamaha matches with 1 slash 1 of adhyayaha. This matches with the unwritten rule in Sanskrit that qualifier and qualified appear in the same case where prathamaha is the qualifier and adhyayaha is the qualified. So the fact that 1 slash 1 exists in prathamaha as well as adhyayaha this fact matches with this unwritten rule. Then we look at the meaning and find that the procedure that we adopted is producing a compatible meaning combination namely now begins the first chapter. Atha means now begins and prathamaha means first and adhyayaha means chapter. Now we also check with the context and find that this meaning fits in very well or rather perfectly at this place as this is the beginning indeed of the first chapter and this line is a declaration of this particular fact that now the first chapter begins. So to sum up we can take prathamodhyayaha as an input and then we can split the sandhi in the following manner. So prathamodhyayaha is first split into two prathamo and adhyayaha and prathamo is put into square brackets adhyayaha is also put into two square brackets and there are two more square brackets at the end they indicate that this is one unit one sentence. So now we have prathamo prathamo adhyayaha this prathamo is further split into prathamo plus u plus adhyayaha now this u is a substitution in place of ru so the next step would be prathamo plus ru plus adhyayaha and this ru is a substitution in place of sir so we say prathamo plus plus adhyayaha. So prathamo plus sir plus adhyayaha generates ru as the substitute in accordance with 8266 then this ru gets substituted by u by 61113 then this u and this ur they get substituted by o by 6187 and finally this o and this ur they get substituted by this o by 6109 so finally we arrive at the two constituents written down as separate padas and they are prathamaha and adhyayaha prathamaha and adhyayaha this is how we split at the prathamo adhyayaha we also check the corpus when we apply this test of corpus we find that there are similar sentences at the beginning of each chapter like adhatrutiyodhyayaha adhachaturthodhyayaha adhapanchamodhyayaha and so on and so forth the position of these sentences and the commonality in wording allows us to figure out the different word in those sentences and the meaning with the help of the dictionary trutiyayaha means third chaturthaha means fourth panchamaha means fifth etc this is how the sandhi gets split with the help of these strategies in this particular example let us now take another example the next sentence in shreemad Bhagavad Gita dhritarashtra uvacha so what could be the possible analysis of both these words dhritarashtra can have at least two explanations the first one is that dhritarashtra is the vocative singular of the word dhritarashtra and the second explanation is that this is in most parts similar to one slash one of the word dhritarashtra if we look at uvacha this also has got two explanations first one is this uvacha is third person singular karta of perfect past of the verbal root meaning to speak this word expects the nominal root to specify who this karta of the action of speaking is and this karta is also expected to be in one slash one the second explanation of uvacha is the one uvacha is first person singular of karta one p slash one karta of perfect past of the verbal root uvacha to speak this word expects the nominal root to specify who this karta of the action of speaking is this karta is also expected to be in one slash one but in this case the choices are clear because this first person singular is nothing but i so the meaning of this uvacha is i spoke without uttering the word i so now we have four options two options for dhritarashtra and two options for uvacha so there are four possible combinations noted down on this slide as a b c b a consists of the first explanation of dhritarashtra and the first explanation of uvacha b consists of the first explanation of dhritarashtra and second explanation of uvacha c consists of the second explanation of dhritarashtra and the first explanation of uvacha and d consists of the second explanation of dhritarashtra and the second explanation of uvacha these are the four possible explanations let us see which one of them seems more probable amongst these four only c seems more probable and also compatible and also most fitting in the context where the next where in the next verse it is understood that someone is asking somebody else a question so obviously a b and d get eliminated on account of them being less probable less compatible and not fitting in the context now we look for a sanny so one slash one suffix is stated to be sir but it is missing here so we conclude that this is deleted which means that this is a zero substitution now we already know that if we have this particular scenario a plus zero at the end of the paddha plus u at the beginning of the next paddha if this is the environment then this is the output of a319 lopashakalyasya whose input is a plus here plus u a plus here at the end of the paddha so now from dhritarashtra uvacha we go backwards and generate a plus here plus u we also know that a plus here plus u is an output of a317 whose input is a plus ru plus u so now we go to the next stage a plus ru plus u dhritarashtra plus ru plus u we also know that this is an output of a266 whose input is a plus sir plus u and this sir is one slash one suffix that gives us the word dhritarashtra plus sir which is nothing but dhritarashtraha if written separately so we can show this process of splitting in this particular manner in this sequence dhritarashtra uvacha is the string and we note that there is zero substitution this zero substitution is the output of the input dhritarashtra plus here plus uvacha because a319 applies then dhritarashtra plus here plus uvacha is the output of the input dhritarashtra plus ru plus uvacha in accordance with a317 and we also know that this dhritarashtra plus ru is the output of dhritarashtra plus sir plus uvacha in accordance with a266 now here there is no question of asiddhatva the rules are followed in order they apply in order so now after having split this we know now that the two separated words are dhritarashtraha and uvacha this conclusion confirms that it's fit it fits perfectly in the context as now we know that it is dhritarashtra who is third person singular who is the karta of the action of speaking that happened in the past perfect so the meaning of the sentence is dhritarashtra spoke also the context supports this explanation as this is the name of the king who in the next string namely dharmakshetra kurukshetra samaveta yuyutsavaha mamaka pandavaschaiva kim akurvatasanjaya is asking this sanjaya about his own sons and those of his brother so we confirm this particular split as finally accepted we also apply the test of corpus and if we check the corpus we find similar sentences at the beginning of each chapter as well as in the middle suggesting the speaker change or name of the new speaker etc for example sanjaya uvacha or arjuna uvacha all such instances can be explained in the similar fashion sanjaya uvacha sanjaya 0 uvacha sanjaya ya uvacha sanjaya ru uvacha sanjaya sa uvacha sanjaya ha and uvacha similarly arjuna uvacha also the position of these sentences and the commonality in wording allows us to figure out the different word and its meaning with the help of the dictionary sanjaya for example arjuna for another example we also observe that there is a sentence shree bhagavanu vacha however there is no sandhi over here this is how we split sandhi in cases of this kind to summarize application of rules in reverse order than what we have studied so far may help in splitting the sandhi in accordance with the grammar of panini we also observe that other resources like the dictionary of prathipadikas as well as that of subanthas is also very helpful in this task to eliminate options based on probability measures the split that we arrived at also stands the test of the context very well one important point to remember over here is that the multiple possible splits form the basis of different interpretations by different scholars that are available in the tradition thank you for your attention


Welcome traders to another tick mill intraday wave analysis session with me Patrick Manley. I want to draw your attention to a developing opportunity on the euro-dollar, actually on the hourly time frame here, interest rate time frame, and I want to pay attention to this structure here. I believe we have a potential wave 3 high in place on the higher degree and now what I'm looking for is a corrective pattern to play out versus this B wave higher 1,2043. I'm looking for an equality test down to 1,1986 watching for bullish reversal patterns in this area set long positions targeting a fifth wave objective up to 1,2125 which is that big daily trend line resistance as referenced on my daily market outlook. PRZ and validation point for this trade is 1,1950. As always traders plan the trade, trade the plan, most importantly manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


at what point at what I like I mean help me out because I've actually had conversation like this with a lot of people here what do you mean by so what do you mean by so I think I mean believe it's we have one what is it our body our brain just for you because there's probably Christians are probably saying something different yeah you know so what is the soul to you to me I think it's it's something that carries on after your physical body like heat like like your soul enters a new body after you die and that's the soul that goes to heaven like we're not gonna have I'm not gonna have this body and you're not gonna have that body when we enter the afterlife we're gonna have our souls gonna carry on we're gonna have new bodies all right how confident are you that that's a thing I'm very like can we do this real quick like if this is no way Jose to oh yeah like absolutely true there's no way you got one too oh sorry yeah it's magnetic to yeah so like white definitely definitely absolutely no way I could be wrong about it absolutely 100% true zero there's no way in no way in smeg I'd say for myself yeah it's absolutely true okay honestly I'm about here right now so it's not this it's not that it's more of like I'm open up it's an open door for me like here yeah I think it's also something that's especially when we're bringing in religion it's something that's more it's more faith-based so you're at absolutely sure no way it could be wrong I can totally understand why somebody would be here I cannot understand why somebody would be here I think that's hard to say can can I what got you and anytime you want to get up this fine I'm sorry this is taking too long I said two minutes right what got you to be so confident what method did you use to become so confident that the soul exists I mean I was raised Christian and a Christian home and I if you're raised Hindu would you believe in the Hindu God I wouldn't I do not know okay if you were raised Mormon would you probably be Mormon right now tell me about I would not I do not know but you think it's reasonable I mean no I mean do you think people who are in India tend to be more Hindus yeah people in Utah tend to be Mormons people who parents are one thing I mean that's is that a reliable way to come to 100% I say yeah nature I mean nurture is obviously a very deciding factor in terms of what people end up yeah being like obviously my parents for Christian that heavily influenced me but so what I'm trying to figure out is what's the method that you're doing that justifies 100% confidence and if we can agree that you can be raised and believing different things just this in your upbringing maybe upbringing is not that 100% yeah I'm trying to say it's it's not just the upbringing it's being in the Bible praying you know talking to God and you know him opening my heart be understanding personal experiences yeah personal experiences it's do the personal experiences you have prove that the soul exists or that the God's true I think it's it's something that is based in faith so what do you mean by faith I mean it's almost taking a leap of faith it's kind of like what faith yeah I love it this is why we do this just just a chance to talk about it I think it's something that you grow you what I think it's something that that grows as as you have more faith kind of just taking it using faith in the definition trusting something faith is trusting something I think I think like I don't know scientifically like I don't know you know in terms of physical evidence if God exists or not but I think on a faith way like taking that leap of faith where you kind of open your heart and you think okay okay God I don't know if you exist or not yeah I'm gonna give you a chance and I think that's when God comes to you he reveals himself I mean I've noticed it with a lot of people is that like even like atheists they'll stanchi things like people are really that's the first time I heard staunch this year really I think so yeah some words to speak out to me just like really hard in their their belief that that God doesn't exist to the point in which it's it's self-destructive it's angry it's indicative and it's not even it's not giving God a chance like oh God you reveal yourself you know like that kind of leap of faith if we go back to that Hindu and it says I believe in Krishna because of faith would you then believe in Krishna say what Hindu uses faith to get the Krishna and if he came here and says I open up my heart to Krishna I read the Bhagavad Gita and now I have absolute proof because of my faith that fish knew exists would now you say oh good use faith now I believe in fish can too I'd say no I think it would be more is it possible to use faith and arrive at a conclusion that's not true I think I mean it's it's faith in tandem with logic because there's still faith is not enough faith is not quite enough yes I'd say so God has given us certain things that are is there a logical way to reach the conclusion that a God exists I don't think so I think so without faith or logic what's getting you to that hundred percent I think it's faith logic which we can't get to I think I think logic gets you this much and you need faith to get all the way because I think logically in terms of physical evidence like God in the through the Bible which is a document that has lasted thousands of years despite any you know over any other document over any other any other book you know it or historical document it's lasted and has more credibility in terms of historical accuracy than any other document it's just like it's lasted for so long if there was a book that was older would you believe that not necessarily older but it like if it was like a pagan god that was like even older than the Bible far more that was like is it just the fact that it's older it was it's that it's it's it's very old it's lasted for a very long time it's also the credibility of it like we we have a lot of sources that say that people who wrote these books are the people who wrote these books like what we know about the Bible there's a more credible book from a different religion would you believe that religion okay I mean we're talking what ifs so I don't like yeah it's the question it's difficult but I think that yeah so there's the book and then I would think that if you cared about credibility if there was a more credible religion you'd switch that religion yeah I mean if it's yeah it's more credible like I don't know what it is yeah and I'd say if it's like ethical so I think Christianity also has strong I'm gonna throw out an example if I flip a coin it's back in my hand right could be heads could be tells if I use faith and logic to say that this coin is heads up would I be justified at 100% confidence that it's heads up I'd say faith is a little bit more of a back and forth than that you whereas you can have faith in God and God can come down to you you know come down to your level and really know you and you know him the coin can the coin is just a coin so the faith doesn't affect it either way the court yeah faith does not affect the coin okay if we're talking about like a God and people can and if I was a Hindu that had faith on a God and she though or Vishnu or any of the gods that they worship just because they have faith doesn't mean that their gods really say there's there's more to it seems like you can have faith in something and it's not and actually it not be the case or faith and I have absolutely no occasion that's why it seems like faith is not a hundred percent reliable if some people can use faith and not get to a hundred percent truth yeah so what's justifying 100% that's I just feel a hundred percent on it like the is just feeling it a reliable way to come to a true conclusion I think in terms of terms of like how long I've studied the Bible and I've seen the truth of the gospel even the way if you met an older Hindu would you believe because he did it longer than you did sorry what if there was a Hindu that was older than you who's been having his relationship with no I mean like in terms of what I've seen through the gospel in the Bible reading it and studying it and seeing the truth in it even terms of things that for the time the Bible was written far advanced from that culture from that time like it and all the people who believed in it and what they said and the prophecies and the the history of it a lot of it a lot of it checks out like it's in terms of the things that happens you know and then I think having faith and talking to God brings you that other percent if you didn't have faith would you still be a hundred percent no I would not be a hundred so I have faith I think the Bible is very clear that you need faith to reach a hundred percent and if I had and this is my last example if I had two weather reports and they both said that there was a 20% chance of rain does that mean there's a 40% chance of rain or am I just reading two reports that's a 20% you're just reading two reports how does combining two things that aren't a hundred percent reliable lead to a hundred percent reliable conclusion you said a logically we can't reach that fate conclusion faith is not a hundred percent reliable to some people use it and it's still be wrong how does combining these two things together lead to 100% I think it's it's in terms of the logic it's weighing what you need to put your faith in putting your faith in it reaches it brings you the rest of the way I how I think I think you're you're drawing on a false equivalency in terms of your your weather reports 20 20% just the nature of faith and the nature of logic are two very different things can we agree people use faith and reach wrong conclusions yes I would love to know then if we know faith isn't a hundred percent reliable I need to justify I need to come back to me I need to check out my friend is done with his thing it was nice talking to you talking to you what's your name Tyler Tyler does this go online or yes okay you're free to take a card let's chat if you have an idea of what is a reliable way to reach your absolute point because I think people do this or like people who've done that yeah and that's all good but when you're here it's to me like I'm so sure that I'm closed-minded about anything else there's nothing else I convinced me I have no room to grow anymore I'm at my maximum point I would say I'm still definitely willing to grow but if you're willing to grow and there's another person who's not willing to grow because they're so sure I would say only one of those people are a hundred percent sure that's a fair point Tyler nice meeting talk to you thanks


Item number, SCP-207, Object Class, SAFE. Special Containment Procedures SCP-207 is to be stored in a waterproofed locking metal container, measuring 1 meter by 0.5 meters by 0.5 meters. The key is to be issued to the current head researcher of Sightman's Bio-Containment Area. SCP-207 is to be retained inside this area at all times, and all personnel entering the area should be checked for any food or drink items, in addition to any other searches required. Any staff seen ingesting SCP-207-1 are to be retained for future study, with all Foundation clearance levels removed. All vending machines in Sightman's Bio-Containment are to only dispense clear carbonated beverages. A variation from transparent is to be investigated immediately. Description SCP-207 refers to a crate containing 24 Coca-Cola brand cola drinks. The bottles are designated SCP-207-A to X. SCP-207-B is currently the active bottle for testing, and no other bottles are to be opened without authorization from two Level 4 researchers. All bottles have been clearly labeled to aid identification. The liquid held inside these has been confirmed to be identical across all of SCP-207, and should not be ingested, outside of supervised testing. The liquid has been classified as SCP-207-1, and is to be treated as a Class 2 chemical hazard. SCP-207-1 does not appear to alter with age. However, the active testing bottle should have its protective cover kept on the outside of removing liquid for testing. Mass spectroscopy and chemical tests have shown higher than usual concentrations of caffeine and sugars, both natural and artificial, along with data expunged. The practical effect of this is when a subject drinks SCP-207-1, they will effectively no longer require sleep or rest, nor attempt to sleep or rest. This effect is not lessened by any soporific or medication yet tested on test subjects. However, only a quantity larger than 5 milliliters will cause this effect. The reason for this lower boundary existing has not yet been found, although it is hypothesized by Dr. C. that data expunged. As such, unless authorized by two Level 3 researchers, only 5 milliliters of SCP-207-1 is to be used for testing. The results higher than this have shown no difference in effect, with the exception of the subject SCP-207 was recovered from. In addition to removing the need for rest, SCP-207-1 also causes an increase in motor, reaction, and psychological functions. The increase is linear in progression, with an estimated 50% increase, measured by standard medical protocols, plus or minus 5%, every 6 hours. The practical application of ingestion is that the subject is able to think, react, and move faster than others who have not ingested SCP-207-1. Mental proficiencies show the IQ of the subject to rise in line with other increases. However, SCP-207-1 does not alter the body of affected subjects. Physiology remains unchanged, and as such, can rarely support the increase in activity. No subjects have lasted longer than 48 hours during testing, with the cause of death varying from massive internal organ failure to exsanguination, due to major artery ruptures. Subjects also begin to show stress after roughly 24 hours, usually making each movement extremely carefully, in order to avoid accidents. Tests SCP-207-Alpha and Rho have shown that after approximately 24 hours, the increases caused by SCP-207-1 mean subjects can easily underestimate their speed. Most specifically, in test subject SCP-207-Rho, the subject was able to escape the containment area, despite a 5-meter wall. However, this caused the test subject's internal bone structure data expunged. Addendum SCP-207 was recovered from f***ing college, after reports of a student moving from failing grades in all areas, including physical sports, to top percentile marks, and record-breaking performances in physical areas. Agent Rho embedded in the local police force, brought said student in for interview. Subject revealed the existence of SCP-207 during the interview. However, escape attempt while Class A amnestics were being administered resulted in the subject violently data expunged. Cause of death, organ failure, due to massive internal hemorrhage. As SCP-207-A was empty on recovery, it is believed ingesting a full-bottled data expunged. SCP-207 recovered from subject's home, SCP-207-A already empty. Subject reported to local police force as missing person. No further cause for surveillance of f***ing college required at this time. Item Number SCP-210 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures The property containing SCP-210 has been designated as Sightman. The primary responsibility of guards on said site is to prevent entry by trespassers, and maintain the cover story detailed in Document 210-1. The servants quarters adjacent to SCP-210 have been deemed safe for human habitation, and may be used for onsite housing. A remotely controlled vehicle is to be sent into SCP-210 on a monthly basis, to catalog any changes. Description SCP-210 is a two-story mansion, flooded to a depth of 4.35 meters with an unknown fluid substance. The substance, designated SCP-210-1, possesses a refractive index nearly identical to water. This fluid is invisible from the outside of SCP-210, and does not flow out of SCP-210 if a door or window is opened. Any living creature that comes into contact with SCP-210-1 enters a sleep-like state, and begins drifting through SCP-210-1, as if neutrally buoyant. Beings trapped in this manner are designated SCP-210-2 to date. Instances of SCP-210-2 have been cataloged by remote means. Instances of SCP-210-2 emit a constant stream of bubbles, as if exhaling, despite no source of air being identified, and subjects appearing to breathe as normal. Subjects have been noted to move through SCP-210-1 slowly, as if dancing. It has not been determined if this is under the power of the subjects, or of microcurrents within SCP-210-1. SCP-210 came to the attention of the Foundation when an agent embedded in the county police department received a number of related missing persons reports. Mobile Task Force Iota 12, damn feds, was dispatched to intercept the investigations. The disappearances were quickly traced to a party held at SCP-210 in 2000 with several subsequent disappearances resulting from persons undergoing private investigations. Two team members were lost on initial contact with SCP-210, the first when entering through the front door, and the second while attempting to recover the first. The full documentation of this investigation can be found in Document 210-1. Addendum 210-1 Attempts to remove SCP-210-2 from SCP-210-1 have failed, as instances of SCP-210-2 which reach the edge of SCP-210-1 will not travel any further. Instances of SCP-210-2 cannot be damaged. This property extends to clothing, evidenced by remote attempts to harvest sample material. Furniture and other inanimate objects within SCP-210-1 behave as if in normal atmospheric conditions and may be removed from the residence. Removed items show no anomalies. Addendum 210-2, the remote observation of SCP-210 in 2000 was unable to locate SCP-210-2-7. Note, we have been completely unable to locate SCP-210-7 on subsequent observations. A request has been placed for tracking devices in case of further disappearances. Researcher B Item Number SCP-214 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-214 is to be contained in a 4x4 meter quarantine cell, suitable for long-term human habitation within Bio Research Area 12. It is to be considered an etiological agent of a Level 4 Biohazard. Level 4 Biohazard containment requires clean rooms, pre- and post-entry decontamination showers, and a vacuum anti-chamber. All air and water sources to SCP-214's containment area are to be isolated from the rest of the area. All employees entering SCP-214's containment area must wear hazmat suits with self-contained oxygen supply and supplemental cut resistant liner. The cell shall be under continuous observation using remote video surveillance. SCP-214 is to be considered a danger to itself and others, and shall not be allowed to possess potentially dangerous utensils. Due to SCP-214's distinct perception of pain, guards shall not cause physical injury to it, except under the direction of Level 2 staff. Beyond the above procedures, all personnel intending to interact with SCP-214 are to undergo psychological evaluation. Any employees with prior history of depression are not permitted to interact with it. Regular sessions of psychological observation are to occur post research on all participants. Any personnel exhibiting two or more of the following symptoms during observation are to be quarantined immediately in identical containment to SCP-214. Self-harming behaviors. Blunted effect. Glossolalia. Logoria. Compulsive lying. Silvery discharge from mucous membranes or wounds. Obsessive compulsive behaviors, particularly in writing or speech. Research staff is heavily encouraged to read log 214 and interview 214 before conducting experiments as a precautionary measure. Description. SCP-214 is male, age one, formerly an agent at the Foundation. Physical and mental changes were noted after investigation of an incident at Public Library, Massachusetts. Containment of SCP-214 is detailed and a physical examination of SCP-214 shows the replacement of most bodily fluids, including but not limited to blood, vitreous humor, seminal fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid, with a mercury-like substance. Chemical analysis shows that the substance is a suspension of complex organometallic compounds in a protein, a lipid-enriched serum. But so far, nothing more can be ascertained of its origins or purpose. Most bodily functions were observed to no longer be active in SCP-214, though the related organs still exist in a preserved state within the body cavity. This includes the brain, which no longer shows activity on electroencephalography. It shows notable selective regenerative properties, some injuries vanishing within moments of inflection, while others remain unhealed, even after a period of time in which a normal human would have recovered. SCP-214 does not experience pain normally, instead reacting to it as pleasure, with no regard to physical damage to its body. Objects have been noted to disappear in the vicinity of SCP-214. There is currently no known method of recovering lost items. Addendum 214A Excerpts of agent- Diary relating to becoming SCP-214 have been transcribed to Log 214. Addendum 214B Logs of interviews with SCP-214 have been transcribed to Interview 214. Addendum 214C Researcher has been detained after showing symptoms identical in nature to SCP-214, the conclusion of L214. Containment procedures have been updated to reflect the contagious nature of SCP-214. Log 214 Personal log of Agent- Date undisclosed I got my latest assignment. Apparently, there's reports of cult activities centered around a public library and shipping out tomorrow to investigate, along with the rest of Lambda 7. There's major concern about it being a part of Church of the Broken God, given that the location contains a large museum of machinery. Hate dealing with them. The crazy machine god thing gives me more creeps than the rest of the sh** here. Most of them only kill your body. Date undisclosed Initial recon's back on the building. Nothing anomalous so far, with 90% of the building mapped. Only thing left is the periodical's wing. That seems to be closed for renovations. Seems like people go in there quite a bit after dark, but the door is always locked, and the architect that designed this place seems to have a personal vendetta against windows. Nothing wrong with spikes, though. This place has spikes on every surface they could think of. Teams going to shadow one of them in tomorrow and see what's going on inside. Note, between this log and the next, the entirety of Lambda 7 vanished without a trace, along with the reported cultists. Date undisclosed Pages upon pages flittered through my mind, breeze-borne motion revealing in the saturation of information, coalesced and indexed to perfection, safely stored. The library approves of the new acquisitions to its collection, filling her walls ever more with the distilled essence of being. For all to borrow, but never keep. Subsuming the identity, enrobing oneself in another for a time for the goals for the plans and partly realized dreams. Emulating the flesh and its frailties, its ickers and impulses as a marionette on string dancing its jerky frivolity. Date undisclosed Awake again. Not sure how long I've slept on the way back to Red Previous Log. I think I might have been sleep deprived. It doesn't make any sense. Cults gone. Teams gone. Writing after-action report. Attempted to erase Previous Log but can't see the button to do that. Compromised. The word keeps echoing in my head. I think I've been compromised. Cut myself shaving this morning and bled quicksilver into the sink. The sensation of the blade cutting into my skin felt like a lover's caress. It's my duty to self-terminate. I've been compromised. Once the report's done, I'll do that. Still have my sidearm. 12.04 PM Tension. Build up. Trumbling finger. Burnt cord I taste. The flash. The burst. The romance of lead entangling bone and fat followed by orgiastic release. Date undisclosed. Awake again. Bullet didn't do anything. No recollection since I pulled the trigger. I was in the bathroom. Now I'm in bed. There's hotel and medical staff uniforms laying around but no people. No remains. No signs of a struggle and not a drop of blood. Tried to call my superiors to warn them that I'm coming but my fingers keep missing the numbers. All I can do is write in here. Something makes me think that they want this to be found. Just too late.  Something feels right about that and the warm sensation running down is delightful. And log. Interview 214. Interviewed. SCP-214. Interviewer. Researcher. Forward. Initial interview to ascertain the origin of SCP-214. Begin log. Researcher. I'd like you to tell me again about what happened at the library. SCP-214. Library. Home sweet home. Have you been to the periodical section? Such a lovely place. Glittering with the dewy webs of knowledge strewn across the indexes. Researcher. Home. Do you mean like a metaphysical home or did you actually plan to live there? We show your address of record as SCP-214. I've always been there. I'm still there. Home is where the library is after all. And this is my home now, isn't it? So this is the library now. It'll be a fine one too once I get everything organized. Researcher. What do you remember of before the library? Do you remember your name? Do you remember why you were sent to the library? SCP-214. Oh, my name is SCP-214, isn't it? Filed and stored away with so many other texts. I greatly admire your work. You hold so many beautiful things here. Researcher. That's your designation, yes. Do you remember what it was? SCP-214. Designation. A distinguishing name. Yes, I know it. Do you remember what yours is? Researcher. Of course. But I'm not the one answering the questions here. Do you remember what happened at the library between when you arrived and you were found? SCP-214. Are you sure?  Sometimes people lose themselves and I wouldn't want that to happen to you. It's for your own good that you know yourself. What happened? What always happens in a library? Knowledge was exchanged. Researcher. Alisha. What? No. You're attempting to change the subject. What knowledges were exchanged in the library? With whom? Reports suggested people inside, engaging in some kind of synchronized ritual. But when we showed up, you were the only one there. What happened to the rest of the people, 214? SCP-214. I already told you. Knowledge was exchanged. Everything is information, to be stored and sorted. Compressed, if need be. Researcher. Stored where? There were no traces of any other individuals inside that building when the recovery team arrived. But you were covered in the unknown sample. SCP-214. Oh Alisha. You do have such a limited view of things here. You ask the wrong questions. You already know where. They're in the library. They never left. Researcher. My name isn't. We did a thorough search of the library. You were the only one inside. We didn't even pick up DNA traces. Someone or something had swept it clean. Tell me what happened in the library. What happened to those 17 people to 214? SCP-214. You keep confusing the map for the territory Alisha. It is a bad habit. They've been indexed in the library. Stored, numbered, and sorted. Researcher. You don't mean the building, do you? When you talk about the library. SCP-214. You do good work here. We work at complementary purposes. To secure, protect, and contain. To organize, quantify, and enlighten.  Just a few more steps now. Researcher. Can you, can you show me the library? SCP-214. Of course I can. End log. Closing statement. Said researcher was found after the interview. Inside SCP-214's enclosure. Leaking silvery fluid from- Item number. SCP-242. Object class. Safe. Special containment procedures. SCP-242 was kept at a home located in New Mexico, procured by the Foundation on date undisclosed. The original owner was an out-of-state landlord who had problems keeping it rented. After retiring, he moved there but disappeared after three days. The home is unremarkable and is inhabited by Dr. and Dr. who pose as a married couple with no children. The backyard is defined along its perimeter with a cinder block wall approximately two meters high in accordance with the homes in the general vicinity. The pool is monitored at all times by a single level one guard who also covers as the couples live and cook. Human monitoring was added after incident 2421. Swimming or waiting in the pool is strongly discouraged and any access to the pool by anyone other than class D personnel for experimental reasons is forbidden. Description. SCP-242 is a swimming pool approximately 4.5 meters wide by 9 meters long with a depth ranging from one meter deep on both ends to 1.5 meters deep in the center and a total volume of approximately 53,000 liters. It has a dual waterfall feature and in-pool vacuum unit and stares on one end. Any substance when placed into the pool will eventually be transmuted into sterile water which will remain sterile even after being removed from SCP-242 and introduced to a non-sterile environment. A sample taken from SCP-242 and poured into a container of water that had been tinted with red food coloring did not mix but rather stayed together as a non-missable bubble. Subsequent examination of samples shows them to be nothing more than pure sterile water. The length of time required for the transmutation to complete is dependent on the nature of the substance placed into SCP-242. Ordinary river water sampled from New Mexico was completely sterilized in seven minutes. Stagnant pond water taken from New Mexico was sterilized in 18 minutes. 50,000 liters of cold tar was converted over the course of 12 days. While the pool contains nothing but sterile water there is no apparent action of any of the features of the pool. Once a non-water substance is placed into the pool the water jets and waterfall will come on even if disconnected from any power source. The pool vacuum, if attached, will also activate and drive around the bottom of the pool even through extremely viscous liquids. There is no cycling of water into or out of the filtration system. Pipes leading to the filtration system have been completely removed and shown to be empty and dry while the pool contents were being sterilized. Addendum. Incident 2421 on during a time when the home was vacant but being monitored by a hidden video camera a man and woman apparently in their early 20s scaled the rear wall and gained access to SCP-242. They proceeded to undress and go swimming along with two vinyl inflatable rafts acquired from the shed in the backyard. After the water jets came on the female was startled and indicated she wanted to leave. The male claimed that it was just the automatic timer coming on to clean the pool and there was nothing to worry about. The couple continued to swim and engaged in intimate activities. 24 minutes after the jets started the female was heard to say that the water was really warm and made her feel tingly. The male agreed and they both climbed onto their respective rafts and fell asleep holding hands. 29 minutes after the jets started both of the rafts popped within four seconds of each other and the couple was again immersed completely in the water. At this time significant frothing of the water began with a deep red color being given off from the subject's locations. Subjects were heard to scream loudly and both attempted to exit the pool. Before exit was possible the couple went under the surface. The frothing stopped and the pool went from red to clear approximately 48 seconds later. The decision was made to institute a live guard at the pool. After two weeks the story was leaked to the press that the couple had eloped to an unknown location somewhere in Mexico. Research log SCP-242 Experiment number 17 Abstract What are the general properties of the water contained in SCP-242? Does the water retain any SCP like properties when removed from the location? Proposal Determine if the water is safe for human consumption both while in the SCP and outside of it. Required equipment and personnel, two titanium atmospheric dive suits altered to fit the testing criteria, two class D personnel of like gender and race age range to within three years, one food grade titanium barrel, 190 liter capacity, one remotely controlled overhead crane capable of lifting 20 metric tons, one automated titanium siphon system, one wireless communication system for separate links to and from both dive suits, one home fumigation testing unit used to create a neighborhood subterfuge, estimated budget, data expunged, status, approved, results, transcript attached for review, contact Dr. for a full lab report. Dr. All right, once you've entered the dive suit we'll lower you into the pool. All you need to do is take a drink from the metal straw by your mouth when instructed to do so. Test subject A. I can't see out of this thing. Shouldn't there be glass here? Why is it all metal? Dr. That's classified. Just get into the dive suit, please. Sound of overhead crane followed by a loud splash. Dr. Is the barrel full yet? Test subject B. Yep, all full. Dr. Good, remove the siphon and get into the other dive suit. You will not be placed into the pool. Just drink from the metal straw fed from the barrel when instructed to do so. Test subject B. So if I ain't going in the pool, why am I getting into that thing? Dr. Again, that is classified. We went over this in the debrief. Just do as instructed, please. Mechanical sounds. Test subject B. Damn, it's dark in here. There's no light? How will I find the straw when I- Oh, there it is. Dr. SCP-242. Experiment 17. Time zero set. Test subject A. Please take a sip from the straw and tell me what you experience. Test subject A. Uh, it's pretty warm. There's a weird chemical aftertaste, but it doesn't last long. Dr. Good, thank you. Test subject B. Please take a sip from the straw and tell me what you experience. Test subject B. Hmm, it's cool. And tastes like, well, nothing. It's good. Dr. Okay. A loud long belch is heard, followed by laughter from test subject A. Dr. Test subject A. What is going on? Please take another sip. Test subject A. Wow, I've got lots of gas. Oh, this stuff is really warm now. And it stings my mouth. How much longer is this test? Dr. Okay. Test subject B. Please take a sip. Test subject B. Yep, same as before. No taster smell at all. The water is this water? It's cool and pleasant. Dr. Test subject A. Please repeat the process. Test subject A. Ow, this is really hot now. And hey, what the? Is that one of my fillings? What the? Is this? Dr. Please just report your experience as succinctly as possible. Fillings can be replaced. Test subject B. Please repeat the process. Test subject B. This is boring, doc. Seems like a lot of hassle just to give us a drink of water. Dr. Test subject A. Please repeat. Choking and gurgling sounds. Dr. Test subject A. Please respond. Sound of a muffled scream, followed by electrical shorting. Dr. Test subject B. Please repeat. Test subject B. Ah, yep, still nice. Dr. Okay. Test subject B. We're moving to the next phase, which is a full medical analysis. But you'll need to, uh, decompress before you can exit the suit. It will take several hours, so get comfortable in there. Please take a drink every time the indicator light goes on, and let me know if anything changes. Use the urination adapter as needed. Test subject B. Understood. Damn. That was easy. Testing was ended due to internal electrical and subsequent structural failure of atmospheric dive suit A. Retrieval was not attempted. Complete loss of atmospheric dive suit A occurred after approximately 15 hours. Test subject B was extracted after 17 hours. No physiological changes were detected. Subject B's urine was recovered, and showed no extraordinary properties. Subject B has been released to the Class D pool group for future reuse. The water remaining in the barrel was left to evaporate, and did so within the expected time frame. No residue of any kind remained. End log. Note, the use of SCP-242 for possible disposal of any SCP-related materials that are difficult to manage, is being considered at this time. Contact Dr. P. for details and or permission for testing. Item number SCP-300. Object Class. Safe. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-300 is stored in a locked-in climate-controlled container at Site B. Experimentation on SCP-300 may only be performed with prior written permission from at least one Level 3 senior researcher, and any observations made must be recorded for later analysis. Description.  When a single drop of SCP-302 is extracted from SCP-301, and the drop is viewed through a standard optical microscope, an animated scene becomes visible. While no two drops have shown precisely the same scene, these scenes generally take the form of pastoral or woodland scenes, consistent with that of Victorian-era England. So far, attempts to analyze the exact chemical components of SCP-302 have inexplicably failed, with spectrometers reporting wildly variant or false data, thus making attempts at replicating it impossible. SCP-302 also invariably evaporates within two to eight hours of being drawn outside of SCP-301, despite all attempts at stabilizing the substance or controlling laboratory conditions. SCP-300 was first documented after being recovered from the attic of a row home in UK on 1863, following a raid by agents of the Royal Society for the Security Containment and Protection of Anomalous Artifacts. SCP-300 was transferred to SCP Foundation possession on 19... Addendum 301. Experiment log, abridged. Date, undisclosed. Procedure, a single drop, approximately 0.07 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide. Video recorded for approximately three hours before SCP-302 evaporated harmlessly. Details. Visible scene consists of a dirt road lined with trees of an unidentified species. Coloration of leaves suggested that the scene was taking place in autumn. A light breeze is blowing, causing some of the yellowed leaves to fall to the ground. At approximately one hour, seven minutes and 18 seconds, a horse-drawn carriage with a driver and two passengers passes through the scene. Clothing worn by the individuals seemed to be consistent with that worn in Victorian era England. No other significant events are recorded. Date, undisclosed. Procedure, a single drop, approximately 0.08 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide. Video record lasts approximately five hours. Details. Visible scene consists of a rural farm. Size of wheat plants visible in scene indicate late summertime period. A family consisting of two adults and three children of varying age are periodically visible in various areas of the farm, performing chores. Clothing of family consistent with previously established time period. Date, undisclosed. Procedure, a single drop, approximately 0.07 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide. Video record lasts approximately two hours. Details. Visible scene consists of the interior of a well furnished residence. Within the visible area are a lit fireplace and several armchairs. Three well-dressed individuals, two men and one woman, are seen conversing while enjoying a bottle of what is presumably red wine. Lip-reading analysis of their conversation is incomplete, but fragments developed so far indicate a casual political discussion regarding issues appropriate for the year 18th again in Victorian England. Date, undisclosed. Procedure, two drops, approximately 0.15 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide for experimentation. Video record lasts approximately three hours. Details. Video record is blurry and indecipherable. Although a few fragments of video have been analyzed, no useful information is gathered. Further experimentation is to be limited to a single drop of SCP-302. Addendum, 302. Incident, 312. On date undisclosed, Dr. was found dead in laboratory C, with cause of death being self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Laboratory video surveillance showed Dr. obsessively viewing a recent recording from an SCP-300 experiment and becoming increasingly agitated until he pulled out his sidearm and took his own life. Upon investigation, the recording was identified and analyzed as a three-hour-long recording made during an experiment on date undisclosed. The recording shows a young woman of approximately years of age, sitting in an armchair and embroidering an article of clothing while singing to herself. Further investigation showed a startling resemblance between the woman and Dr. W. W. W. Wife, who died during up to and including a birthmark visible on the left side of her neck. Experimentation on SCP-300 has been temporarily placed on hold, pending research into possible telepathic or memory-affecting capabilities. Addendum, 303. Inscription, located on back of SCP-300. A world in a bottle for my beloved Nora, W.A. Item number, SCP-325. Object Class, Safe. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-325 is to be held in a standard 30 centimeter by 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter steel box. This box should be waterproofed and lined with hydrophobic rubber and stored away from any washing facilities. If SCP-325 breaches containment, standard foundation issue NBC protection suits are to be used to spread desiccant on the affected area. All used desiccant should be incinerated according to standard incineration procedure. SCP-325 can be safely stored at any site and with any SCP. Any personnel showing a greatly increased adherence to cleaning and hygiene then required are to be detained and given new foundation issue overalls to be worn for the next 24 hours. After this, suspected personnel are to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Description, SCP-325 is a small bottle of washing detergent, a product commonly sold in the United Kingdom. However, the name present on the label does not match any of the company's current products. SCP-325 contains a semi viscous green liquid, identical in chemical composition to the naturals range of washing detergent sold by SCP-325 is a value pack container of concentrated detergent and currently contains 1,775 milliliters of fluid. One wash of SCP-325 requires 25 milliliters of liquid as indicated on the instructions located on the rear of the bottle. This information also contains a warning detailing data expunged. SCP-325 functions in an identical way to a normal detergent and when used will produce excellent results. Tests with class D personnel have indicated that victims will find the quality of the wash much higher than usual. Therefore, preferring to wear a garment washed in SCP-325 over other articles of clothing washed in normal detergent. However, lab tests have shown there to be no physical or chemical difference between garments washed in SCP-325 or other brands. Further research into low-level memetic threats are ongoing, but as the effects of SCP-325 are contained by non-use, SCP-325 is currently classified as safe. When a garment washed in SCP-325 is worn, the subject wearing it will eventually succumb to extreme pervasive paranoid delusions related to mysophobia and cleanliness. This will often induce ritualistic behaviors in the subject and has led to subjects harming themselves through excessive cleaning methods such as placing their hands in boiling water or ingesting bleach. There are currently five levels of behavior caused by SCP-325 exposure documented, with all tests past 480 total hours of exposure resulting in the data expunged indicated on the label unless subject expires at level 4 as documented below. All time measurements indicated in the following descriptions of behavior after exposure are indicated at the average number of hours exposed, rounded up in plus or minus 10%. Exposure refers to the time spent physically wearing garments cleaned in SCP-325. Level 1 Behavior Subjects exposed to SCP-325 for between 1 and 24 hours will exhibit majorly increased awareness of hygiene and cleanliness. This is usually characterized by excessive hand washing and ordering others to be more clean themselves. This stage will usually pass without comment. However, any staff noticing increased awareness of cleanliness around the storage area of SCP-325 should inform level 4 clearance personnel immediately. Level 2 Behavior Subjects exposed to SCP-325 for between 24 and 96 hours will begin to display extreme myzophobia and manic washing regimens. Exposed subjects will also shun others, only exiting their domicile to stockpile supplies of tinned food and cleaning agents such as bleach. Interviews have shown that subjects view the outside world to be unclean. Level 3 Behavior Subjects exposed to SCP-325 for 96 to 240 hours exhibit complete disregard for anything that is considered by them to be unclean, including the outside world. If an object inside their abode can be cleaned by the subject, they will clean it until deemed suitably uncontaminated. All clothing that has not been washed in SCP-325 will also be rejected and most likely destroyed, along with other non-suitable items. Subjects will usually dispose of things by incineration, although no single method is preferred. From this point, only clothing washed in SCP-325 will be worn. Level 4 Behavior Currently the stage of most use and interest to the foundation. After 240 hours of exposure, subjects will cut themselves in order to use their blood as a cleaning agent. Other agents such as bleach will sometimes be added, but this is not a constant behavior and around 80% of exposed subjects will not add anything. The blood from the victim has been proven to be 100% efficient at removing any contaminant from a surface. The mechanism for this is currently unknown, but tests with the products of SCP-325 and SCP-325 have shown promising results for cleanup after containment breaches. The composition of the blood has alluded a full analysis so far, with test results showing data expunged, present in the bloodstream. Further testing is authorized after submitting form 325-T1 to the appropriate level 4 researcher. Most test subjects, around 70%, will die of exsanguination or exhaustion before progressing to level 5. Level 5 Behavior Once a subject has been exposed for 480 hours, they will proceed to data expunged, which resulted in the deaths of several civilians and foundation staff. This event is detailed on the warning on SCP-325's label. A copy is available to researchers above level 3 clearance. As the r*** company shows no record of producing SCP-325, yet has the facility to do so if the r*** is added into their manufacture process, one undercover agent has been inserted as an employee. Said agent is to stay silent, unless production of SCP-325 is found to exist. All instances of SCP-325 found outside of Foundation control are to be destroyed by incineration after testing at the nearest Foundation site. Field agents and MTFs are clear to terminate any civilians exhibiting confirmed exposure of level 3 or above. Confirmed level 2 instances are to be contained and returned to the nearest Foundation site. Item Number SCP-354 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures Due to SCP-354's immobile nature, Area-354 has been built around it. Area-354 houses forces and D-class personnel, prepared to deal with threats emerging from SCP-354, as well as researchers studying SCP-354 and its properties. For their own safety, no on-site personnel are to approach SCP-354 at any time. Direct interaction with SCP-354 is permitted only for the purpose of research to eliminate SCP-354, and must be approved by O5 personnel. Area-354 was constructed to contain and neutralize any and all further threats emerging from SCP-354. At the heart of Area-354, a 20-foot wall of concrete, reinforced with data expunged, has been constructed around SCP-354 to prevent emerging entities from escaping into the area at large. High-speed motion detection cameras are placed atop the wall looking down into the pool, and armed guards can easily shoot down inside the enclosure from catwalks placed above the pool. Description SCP-354 is a pool of red liquid, discovered in Northern Canada. The liquid is of a consistency similar to that of human blood, hence the colloquial name, Blood Pond, but is not of a biological nature. The pool does not have definite banks. Soil mixes with the liquid until, at a certain point, there is more soil than liquid, and the ground is mostly solid. The liquid becomes denser as one descends deeper into the pool. If the pool has a bottom, it has yet to be reached. Periodically, entities emerge from the pool and attempt to escape from the enclosure. Thus far, nearly all creatures emerging from SCP-354 have been extremely hostile, and highly dangerous. SCP-354 is believed to have been first discovered in blood by survivors of a plane crash, who encountered SCP-354 by chance. SCP-354 had developed into a local urban legend, long before Foundation personnel arrived to deal with the threat. After locating the source of the legend, SCP personnel set up Watch Station Epsilon-38. To monitor the pool and to deter future travelers from finding it, SCP-354 was classified as Euclid until its properties were further discovered. At 1403 hours on date undisclosed, an unidentified entity emerged from SCP-354. Contact with Watch Station Epsilon-38 was lost. Mobile Task Force was dispatched to deal with the entity and were eventually successful. All personnel at Watch Station Epsilon-38 were found dead. Area-354 was subsequently constructed to contain SCP-354. Document 3541A. Partial log of entities to have emerged from SCP-354 prior to event 354-20. SCP-354-1, original entity which destroyed Watch Station Epsilon-38, resembled a giant bat, neutralized by Mobile Task Force- SCP-354-2, bear-sized mammalian creature covered in razor-sharp spines, resembled an echidna, was virtually bulletproof, but was unable to escape the enclosure surrounding the pool, neutralized via napalm. SCP-354-3, black metallic sphere capable of levitation, emitted concentrated levels of radiation and precisely directed beams, sufficiently to instantly cripple and later result in death. Then area-head Dr. Bruck struck SCP-354-3 with a sludge hammer, disabling it. SCP-354-3 then self-detonated, causing minor structural damage and severely wounding Dr. Bruck. Said Dr. made a full recovery and has been commended for his bravery. SCP-354-4, humanoid reptilian creature, approximately 4.6 meters or 15 feet tall, escaped both the walled enclosure and area-354 altogether. Gunfire caused very little physical harm and was highly ineffective. Mobile Task Force Omega-7 Pandora's box was dispatched and was successful in neutralizing the creature. SCP-354-5, data-expunged.  As the enclosure around the pool had not yet been fully repaired, SCP-354-6 was immediately shot before it had a chance to escape. Area-head Dr. Bruck has expressed his displeasure in the rash execution of SCP-354-6, which testing revealed to be identical to an average human being. Data corrupt. SCP-354-14. Majority of creature's body remained well beneath the surface of the pool. Five octopus-like tentacles were seen emerging from the pool and reached up over the enclosure. Several D-Class personnel were grabbed by the tentacles and pulled back beneath the surface of the pool. After receiving massive damage from gunfire, SCP-354-14 retreated back into the pool and disappeared. No personnel taken by the creature were recovered. SCP-354-15. Feline creature, composed of a blue-hued crystalline structure, later revealed to be ice, was able to jump above the walled enclosure and was agile enough to dodge most gunfire, was actively hostile and mauled any personnel that engaged it. Subject engaged SCP-354-16 upon its emergence from the pool and was terminated in the fight. SCP-354-16. Feline creature, composed of a dark red-black stone, later revealed to be partially solidified magma. Gunfire proved mostly ineffective against its hide, was not hostile to personnel and did not attempt to escape the walled enclosure, until being engaged by SCP-354-15, successfully terminated SCP-354-15 and grew less active as its body cooled. After fully solidifying and having remained motionless since, Subject was moved to Dr. Warrant's office for aesthetic purposes. SCP-354-18. Metallic humanoid machine, described by several D-Class personnel as a terminator. Subject possessed a cloaking device rendering it invisible to human eyes. Subject was highly adept at combat and killed nearly 90% of Area-354's guard personnel as it rampaged through the facility. Approximately 60 minutes after emerging from the pool, Subject ceased function and powered down. Subject was dismantled and its power cell was disposed of. Subject's remains are under study. Note from Area Head, Dr. That's thrice now that we've had to fall back on Pandora's box to deal with stuff coming out of SCP-354. Abel can't complain though, you can tell he enjoyed fighting SCP-354-11. Maybe we should set up some kind of hotline to MTF Omega-7. Document 354-3A. Log of Exploratory Mission 354-Alpha. Personal log of Dr. Our expedition to explore SCP-354, that gaping wound in the middle of Canada, has finally been accepted. The R&D boys have come up with what can only be described as a submarine with a drill on it. We know that the pool gets denser as you go down, so we suspect that at some point we won't be sinking so much as digging. Hence the huge mining device built onto it. It's not hydrodynamic at all, but we're not really going swimming here. My gut tells me that there's something on the other side of the red pool, and just like digging down, up to China, all we have to do is dig down, up to it. Personal log of Dr. had a nice long debate with O5 for who's allowed to come. I wanted MTF Omega-7 to come with us for protection, or at least SCP-076, but they won't allow it. Despite the massive damages he continues to cause, they still see him as too valuable to risk losing.  Maybe they just didn't have the guts to ask him to go exploring. Ackler, that a**, wanted us to take SCP-076 with us, but I wouldn't allow it. The file says SCP-076 was just born before he came through, so he'd be useless as a guide. He might be of some use as security, but that's mostly canceled out by the fact that he's data expunged. He'd probably just expunged, anyway. The final crew compliment apart from myself consists of three agents, two D-class personnel, one geologist, and some guy from R&D who's going to pilot the ship. I already forgot all of their names. Exploratory team 354 Alpha, ET354A, mission log, day one. Rotten sort of day to begin a mission. Rumor has it that last night there was a total containment breach in some area or other. Then it turns out that there's no coffee allowed anywhere inside of area 354 for some reason or another. And the whole mission almost ended in disaster when it turns out that they almost forgot to load the extra fuel on board. Who the f**k is running the show around here? Anyway, we're now under way. For a while there I had a definite feeling of going downward, but now we're dropping much more slowly. Marty, that's the R&D guy's name, says we're sinking at a rate of 10 meters an hour. Apparently at this depth, the red pool is pretty damn dense. Mission log, day two. Nothing of interest happened, but I learned everyone's names. We have Marty, our pilot, Agent Swanson, Agent Turquoise, Agent 86, Dr. J. MacArthur, Chris Simmons, and Leroy Tucker, whoop-de-freakin-doo. Mission log, day three. At about 4.30 am gravity suddenly changed direction. Boy, that was a fun way to wake up. We're now rising rather than sinking, which means we're more than halfway there. Mission log, day four. We've reached the surface. Through the portholes it's mostly dark, which means it's night. We can't go out yet because for all we know, the atmosphere could be hydrochloric acid. We've got a shitload of sensors outside of the ship analyzing a bunch of stuff. Whether the air is breathable, what kind of airborne bacteria we have to deal with, and simple stuff like temperature. We'll know in eight hours whether it's safe for human life out there. Mission log, day five. Turns out the air is totally safe, except it's been night four, going on 28 hours now. What's going on? Mission log, day six. Dawn finally came. The sun was huge and red. I'm a biologist, but I know enough about astronomy to know that we're orbiting a totally different star. Is this a different time, a different place, or a different dimension? Leroy guessed that we're in another plane of existence, and I think he's probably closest. The pool on this side is way bigger, more like a large pond or maybe a small lake. The banks are more defined than on our side as well. We took an inflatable raft to the shore, Marty and Simmons stayed behind, and headed north. The ground here, or at least around the pool, is almost totally devoid of plant life. The only green we saw was a sort of fuzzy moss growing on the ground that looked more like a kind of mold. The ground is grayish tan dirt, that's like a mixture of sand and flour. MacArthur said it was some mineral or another, but I forgot what he called it. I half expected all of our electronics not to work out here, but that wasn't the first thing to fail. After about two hours of hiking across flat boring ground, the compass suddenly changed direction. Now it points to what we had previously thought to be east. Evidently, this planet's magnetics. Is it even a planet? Don't work the same way ours do. Not wanting to risk getting lost, we immediately made a 180 and headed back to the ship. I could have sworn that the trip was less than half as long as the trip out. Tomorrow we'll work out a way of navigation that doesn't rely on the compass being sane. Mission log, day seven, lousy night's sleep. The sun never went down. By my calculations, the day-night cycle here seems to last about 43 and a half hours, as opposed to 24 hours back home. That's going to take some getting used to. We agreed on a system of navigation. Firstly, we're going to travel only in a straight line to make sure that we can get back to the ship by simply turning around and heading in the other direction. Unless we encounter some kind of unnavigable jungle, we should be fine. Secondly, Marty's rigged a radio beacon thing. I don't really remember his explanation, but if we're anywhere within 800 miles, his little gizmo will be able to tell us exactly which direction to go to get back and how far. Mission log, day nine. We set out a few hours before the sun was scheduled to rise, but when we got to the shore, we found that the green moss stuff was everywhere. It had grown in mass significantly. My guess is the stuff shrivels up in the sun during the day and expands at night to suck in nutrients or something. We decided we didn't want to walk through it, so we went back and waited for sunrise. Sun came up and we set out again. The moss stuff was back to its smaller state. It just occurred to me that there's been no wind at all in this place. The result is dead silence. I'm not ashamed to admit that the overall emptiness of this place is pretty scary. We found an area with none of the moss stuff for a few hundred feet around and decided to camp for the night. The sun is still up, but it's time for us humans to sleep, so I'm calling it night. Mission log, day 10. Sometime in the night, which was really daytime. This is going to get confusing. We were all awoken by some kind of roar. You remember what the T-Rex sounded like in that old movie Jurassic Park? It sounded a lot like that, big and reptilian. It was so loud that I was certain whatever was making it couldn't be more than 20 feet away, but when we all got out of our tents, we didn't see anything. The whole area is so flat that we see any sort of animal within half a mile or so, but there was nothing. F***ing scary. We packed up camp and continued on. After a while, we stopped seeing the moss stuff. Maybe it only grows around the red pool, and the ground became rockier. In the distance, the land seems to grow more hilly. I think I see trees. Mission log, day 11. The bare ground has ended. Now we're walking across a vast field of beautiful green grass. It almost looks like a well-mown lawn. The grass seemed ordinary enough until turquoise tripped over a rock and arose to find his hands covered with several dozen bloody pinpricks. Apparently the tip of a blade of this grass is incredibly sharp and easily punctures skin. It's no threat to our foundation issue boots, but we must all be careful not to fall on it. We came to a tiny stream, really no more than a trickle. Swanson suggested we could refill our canteens, but Lee Roy and MacArthur wanted to check the water for something or other first. MacArthur took out some equipment and after a few minutes announced that it was not water, but liquid carbon dioxide. CO2 is usually a gas at this temperature, and it's never a liquid. The laws of physics don't seem to be working right. Mission log, day 14. Haven't had time to record anything for a few days. We made it to an area sparsely populated by trees. The grass there was withered and brown, and not sharp enough to pierce the skin anymore. The trees were ordinary, looked like birch, but the leaves were wrong. At some point we lost Swanson. This place is so quiet that none of us really feel comfortable talking, so we have no idea when we lost him. There's a good eight hour window where he could have gone missing. We called to him, but none of us wanted to split up to look for him. During the night, a tree fell on 86's tent. He wasn't hurt, and none of the gear was damaged, although the tent got mangled beyond repair. 86 swears that the tree hadn't been that close when he pitched the thing, and none of us can tell what caused it to fall. The trunk just snapped. We all agreed not to pitch our tents anywhere near a tree from now on. The next day, which was really night time, we heard the same roar from a few days ago. It sounded exactly the same as before, and again, we have no idea what made the sound, and none of us can even agree which direction it came from. Then, it started to rain. We all pitched our tents for the night, this time a whole lot closer together than we had before. The nearest tree is about 300 feet away. MacArthur confirmed that it was actual rain and not more CO2 and we set up this funnel thing to refill our canteens. Leroy donated his tent to Agent 86, and I offered to share mine, since it's a little bigger than the other guys. I asked Leroy what he did to wind up as a D-class. He said he raped a couple people. I think he might have been trying to freak me out, but who knows? Anyway, he's one of the most well-behaved D-classes I've ever met, so I don't think he's going to, say, assault me in my sleep. Mission log, day 17. Good God, the rain has finally stopped! Everything is soaking wet, including us, except for the ground. After that much water, you'd expect it to be muddy as all hell, but the ground beneath the grass is barely damp at all. Perhaps the plants absorb moisture from the ground more efficiently than the ones back home. We're setting out again. Perhaps the rain awakens some animal life. Data corrupt. Mission log, day 25. What seemed to be a huge cliff in the distance turned out to be an artificially constructed wall. It's made of solid rusty iron that stands maybe 50 feet high. To the left and to the right, it goes on farther than the eye can see. I can't imagine how thick it is. We have no way around it. We'll have to go over it or through it. We made camp for the night. We'll work out what to do in the morning. Mission log, day 26. Leroy jury-rigged some kind of blowtorch thing with our equipment. I swear, this guy's f***ing MacGyver.  It turns out it's only about a quarter of an inch thick, but there's another wall behind it with less than a foot between. Apparently, this thing has multiple layers. Leroy cut through eight of them before we finally made it to the other side. The grass on this side is black. Not burnt or anything. It's just a different color. And finally, there's some wind. I was getting tired of...data corrupt. Concluded that coming here was a mistake. We have to turn back. Mission log, day 39. We passed through the second barrier and were back to the weird place with the black grass. A half expected the whole Leroy cut through it to have sealed up or something, but it was still there. Thank God, or whoever runs the show in this world. I don't think MacArthur is going to make it through the night. He lost a lot of blood. Mission log, day 40. We awoke to find that MacArthur had crossed. We didn't want to do it, but we had no choice but to terminate him. 86 said that something back home might be able to help him, and he may have been right, but we couldn't afford to have him slow us down. We only have a few more days until...data corrupt. Mission log, day 48. We made it back to the ship with only an hour or two to spare. The first thing they asked us was what the f*** happened to Swanson Turquoise MacArthur in 86, as if a few dead team members are our biggest problems right now. Marty has us underway, and we're definitely sinking. I just hope they don't...data corrupt. End of log. This document was discovered in the Central Foundation Database. No such mission to explore SCP-354 has yet been suggested or approved. No records of any personnel mentioned in this log exist. The log's origin is unknown. Note from area head Dr. It has been 22 months since the last entity emerged from the pool. Before this, the longest period of time between emergencies was eight months. I suspect this means one of two things. Either the red pool has died or powered down, or whatever the correct term for it is, or it is charging up for something big to come through. O5 believes the former is the most likely explanation and has recalled 30% of our total personnel and cut 25% of our funding. Wallach can only hope that they're correct. If the latter situation is true, we're soon to face some terrible monstrosity, and we won't have anywhere near the force necessary to deal with it. I worry for all of our safety. Document 3544. Event log 35420. In the morning of data expunged, the entire staff of area 354 evacuated the facility. However, the staff also shut down power to the area and took a number of supplies and vehicles from the facility, indicating that the evacuation had not been done due to an emergency. Mobile Task Force Theta-12 was dispatched to investigate the cause of the evacuation and, if possible, make contact with area staff. However, before NTF Theta-12 could make contact with area 354 or its evacuees, the area's onsite warhead was detonated, resulting in the destruction of the entire facility and the deaths of data expunged. NTF Theta-12 was ordered to make contact with the evacuated personnel, and, in the event of hostility, was given clearance to terminate any uncooperative personnel. A large convoy of vehicles taken from area 354 was spotted heading southward from area 354 at high speed. Final audio logs from NTF Theta-12 indicate that the convoy was made up of area 354's staff and that the previous chain of command had broken down in its entirety, with armed D-class personnel and research personnel firing upon NTF Theta-12. NTF Theta-12 was annihilated, and no further contact with the former personnel of area 354 has been made since. Document 3545 Following the total destruction of area 354, the Red Pool Containment Site was constructed in its place. Basic maps of the new facility can be found in... unlike the previous facility, which was focused on research and neutralization of entities emerging from SCP-354. The new facility is devoted entirely to the containment of SCP-354, and entities which may emerge from it, as well as any unforeseen forces which it may create directly. This is due largely to the advisement of the new site head, Data Expunged, who believes that the events of log 354-20 were the results of a psychic or mental attack generated by SCP-354 itself. Document 3546 Interview between doctor and agent regarding Data Expunged Doctor Is it all right if I record this? Agent Yes, go ahead. Doctor Good, good. So, let's start at the beginning. What happened at the Red Pool Containment Site? Agent, looking back now, it seems strange that nobody ever suggested draining the pool. When doctor came up with it, it seemed like such a good idea at the time. Doctor, exactly what about the idea was so appealing? Agent, it was a way out. That SCP entry, I've read what it says. It's a joke. It makes it seem like we have the pool under control. Doctor, I take it you do not. Agent, there's a half-meter slab of reinforced concrete in place over the pool, and yet every time some beast tries to come through somehow, it manages to get loose into the building.  I've seen Data Expunged, a man's own intestines. Can you imagine what that looks like, old man? Doctor, so do you. And of course to the other people stationed at the Red Pool Containment Site as well. Draining the pool seemed like a fine solution to the suffering caused by SCP-354. Agent, chair scrapes as Agent R1 stands up. Suffering. That thing doesn't just... Doctor, please sit down. This is going on record. Pause. Agent R1 sits. So, O5 approved the draining of SCP-354, and then what happened? Agent, they evacuated the non-essential personnel to a location a couple kilometers away, leaving just basic defense crew and the people who'd run the equipment. Mostly D-class, plus a few agents to keep things going. Doctor, and you were among those agents. Agent, yes. Doctor, how did they go about draining the pool?  We retracted the slab, but... Doctor, but... Agent, have you ever had a dream where it seemed so real, but you knew you were dreaming and it felt like you had to wake up to escape from it? Doctor, I can't say I have. Agent, yes you have. We all have. That's what it felt like when they put the hose in to try to drain it. Everything stopped being real. It was like we had to escape right now. Doctor, and you were the only one feeling this sensation. Agent, no. Everyone had it at the same time. It came from the f***ing pool! Doctor, please lower your voice. What happened when they activated the pump? Agent, we never did. We couldn't. It wouldn't let us. Doctor, what wouldn't let you? Agent, the pool. Doctor, please, I ask you to lower your voice. Agent, up until now it's been content just throwing monsters at us. It's been playing, but now we have it locked up and we just tried to execute it. Now it's angry. Doctor, to PA. Guards, please restrain Agent. Agent, my buddy measured its banks once and compared them to the photos from its first discovery. You know what he found? Agent grabs Doctor. Doctor, Guards! Agent, it's growing. The pool is growing. It gets bigger and stronger every day and now we've made it angry. Get your hands off! Doctor, sedate him. We'll continue this in the morning, if he's lucid by then anyway. Item number, SCP-365. Object Class, Euclid. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-365 is to be kept in its testing pool at all times. The door to the pool is to be locked and guarded by one security guard. Experiment requests must be approved by a level 3 researcher. Description. SCP-365 is a green pool noodle made of polyethylene foam. By itself, it displays no unusual properties and is physically identical to a typical noodle of similar size. SCP-365's unusual properties manifest only when it is placed in a body of water. When a subject completely submerges in said body of water, they become unable to get out. Subjects report a sense of dread and describe themselves in an infinite sea, swimming endlessly in a direction and finding only more water. It is important to note that to outside observers, the subject simply seems to be flailing in place. The only way to remove a submerged person from the water is to remove SCP-365, negating its effects. All other methods of rescue have failed. Cables and ropes have exhibited an unnatural resistance and snapped. Drainage systems have failed and human intervention has led to data expunged. Addendum, 365-1. SCP-365 was discovered in on date undisclosed. Retrieval personnel found it at the public pool, along with the bodies of several civilians. Because SCP-365's properties were unknown at the time, agents lost their lives. SCP-365 was eventually found and removed from the pool and carbon monoxide from an improperly maintained water heater was used as a cover story. Addendum, 365-2. On date undisclosed, researcher discovered that hallway 19 of storage site 23 was flooded. Said researcher noticed water leaking from SCP-365 storage locker at a rate of five liters per minute. She quickly notified Dr. Wu who opened the locker to find SCP-365 producing water from its holes. SCP-365 was subsequently moved to its testing pool, where upon the flow of water stopped. SCP-365's containment procedures have been changed accordingly. Item number, SCP-379. Object class, safe. Special containment procedures. SCP-379 is to be kept in a vault at sector when not in use. When being transported it should be carried in a locked and padded container, such as a padded briefcase, as the bottle is fragile. As our supply is limited, all testing and experimentation must be authorized by Dr. Wu beforehand. Description, SCP-379 is a translucent pale silver liquid contained in a small crystal bottle. The bottle is topped with an atomizer cap, which delivers approximately one half milliliter of the clear substance inside the bottle. The bottle itself has no noted properties of any particular interest. However, the liquid inside, while scentless and ineffective to normal human beings, has the strange effect of inducing a state not unlike human infatuation upon electronic and mechanical devices. When applied to a person or some object, any machines or electronics in the vicinity, aside from those wearing SCP-379, will begin running in an overheated state, unable to process as many commands, and consuming more energy. For cybernetic systems or computers deemed sentient, the target seems to exhibit more humanistic qualities of typical infatuation, including a preference to be around or in contact with the wearer of SCP-379, more willingness to cooperate with anyone in the room while the wearer of SCP-379 is present, slower response times in machines, a slightly higher chance of minor glitches and malfunctions. It has been suggested to expose aggressive SCPs, such as SCP-379, to see if the pheromone can reduce their aggressiveness, perhaps allowing us to ask more questions about their function. It has also been suggested to try SCP-379 on SCPs that are not mechanical and do not exist in our 3D, real-world state, as is the case of SCP-732, to see if the pheromone affects them, deemed unlikely. There is no known reason as to how the sporting of SCP-379 affects most machines. SCP-379 does not release any sort of scent or detectable pheromone into the air. It has been suggested that SCP-379 has an electromagnetic frequency of some sort, but tests have proven this theory inconclusive. Further tests are to be limited until chemical composition is established to determine if SCP-379 can be artificially replicated. Addendum 379A Experiments with SCP-379 and SCP-915 show that purely mechanical devices of sufficient complexity could be affected by SCP-379. SCP-915's intake of air increased three-fold, but this was not accompanied by a detectable increase in computation speed. Requests have been made to test if the internal shifts of SCP-915 increase in response to SCP-379. Due to the lack of quantities of SCP-379, continued experiments with SCP-915 are denied.
