[ Title: SCP-357 is a malleable substance with a density of 250kg/m3.; Genre: Scientific; Tags: 3rdperson; Style: Dark ] |
*** |
Item #: SCP-357 |
Object Class: Safe Euclid |
Special Containment Procedures: A 10Β kg seed sample of SCP-357 is to be contained within a hermetically sealed container within a 3Β m x 3Β m x 3Β m room at Site-19. Samples removed from the container are not to exceed 1Β kg. A detailed log must be kept of all SCP-357 that is produced, complete with accurate records of what had been used to feed it and how much of the sample was subsequently destroyed via compression. |
The mass of the container is to be monitored electronically. Changes in mass that are not accounted for by removal or return of samples will result in an automatic lockdown of that section of Site-19, as this indicates that a breach of the container may have occurred. |
Unless provided Level 4 approval, researchers are not to expose SCP-357 to temperatures exceeding 100Β°C. The amount exposed to these temperatures is never to be greater than 1Β mm3, under any circumstances. |
Description: SCP-357 is a malleable substance with a density of 250Β kg/m3. The material has been found to reflect all radiation with 100% efficiency. To date, chemical analysis of SCP-357 has yielded no conclusive results. Electron microscopy of SCP-357 has shown no inherent granularity at any level. These two latter results suggest that SCP-357 may not be atomic in nature; however, there have been no satisfactory hypotheses as to how baryonic matter is able to interact with it. |
When permitted to physically interact with SCP-357, researchers describe it as having a consistency similar to that of Play-Doh brand modeling compound. However, unlike Play-Doh, SCP-357 will not retain its shape for any length of time if left at rest. It will settle at a rate of approximately 0.5Β cm per minute until it reproduces the shape of the inside of its container. SCP-357 will form a meniscus inside the container 7.5Β cm high. The thickness of the substance at the top of the meniscus is 1Β mm, at which point it merges with the surface of the container following a Gaussian curve. If allowed to settle on a flat surface, SCP-357 will spread until its average thickness is no more than 1Β mm. The edge of the mass follows the same Gaussian function that is seen in the meniscus. |
If solid matter is placed in a container of SCP-357, it will sink into the substance at a constant rate of 0.5Β cm per minute. SCP-357 will displace the appropriate volume as any other fluid would. If the solid object is fully absorbed by SCP-357, it will become impossible to distinguish between it and the substance of SCP-357. Theories range from the object taking on the properties of SCP-357 to the object being replaced by a corresponding volume of SCP-357. |
If a homogeneous pressure of at least 100Β N/cm2 is applied to a sample of SCP-357, the material will decrease in size at a rate of 1.3Β cm3 per minute or more, depending on the magnitude of the pressure. When compressed in this manner, the density of SCP-357 does not change. Rather, the mass decreases at the same rate as the volume. Where the excess mass goes is presently unknown. If compressed to approximately 1Β mm3 at room temperature, no amount of force is able to decrease the size any further. |
Application of vacuum pressure does not increase the size of a sample of SCP-357. The only method found for increasing its mass is via the encapsulation of a volume. |
Addendum 357-1: SCP-357 was initially produced by a cyclotron in 19ββ at [DATA EXPUNGED]. The responsible researchers at the university were given a Class B amnestic with the exception of Dr. Rβββββββ Bβββββ who has been granted Level 2 clearance and allowed to do further research on SCP-357. To date, the results of the initial experiment that produced SCP-357 can not be reproduced. As a precaution, particle physics laboratories and particle colliders are periodically monitored for similar discoveries. |
Addendum 357-2: SCP-357 is pending review for use in disposal of hazardous objects being held by the Foundation. |
Until the properties of SCP-357 are more concretely understood, particularly in high energy environments, approval is being withheld. It is already clear that SCP-357 should not be exposed to some objects, due to risk of unlimited expansion of the material. -O5-β |
Addendum 357-3: Some personnel have been caught smoking indoors and exhaling into SCP-357 in an attempt to hide the evidence. This is heavily discouraged due to security considerations, health issues, and risk of accidental ingestion. File photos of Experiments 357-3 and 357-4 are freely available to those who continue to practice this abuse of Foundation property. |
Experiment Log 357-1: |
Date: ββ/ββ/ββββ |
Subject: One (1) ping pong ball. |
Procedure: SCP-357 is allowed to fully absorb the ball while in a container sitting upon an electronic scale. |
Details: The ball is seen to sink into the sample of SCP-357. When the last of the ball disappears from view, the scale reports an increase in mass of 5.6Β g, equivalent to the difference between the ping pong ball's mass and that of the equivalent volume of SCP-357. |
Experiment Log 357-2: |
Date: ββ/ββ/ββββ |
Subject: A mass of SCP-357 |
Procedure: A sample of SCP-357 is moulded into a box and placed upon an electronic scale. Before being allowed to set, the lid of the box, also moulded from SCP-357, is placed on it. |
Details: A mass increase is detected, exceeding the mass of the lid. Bisection of the box shows that it is now a solid mass of SCP-357. |
Experiment Log 357-3: |
Date: ββ/ββ/ββββ |
Subject: One healthy Rattus norvegicus. |
Procedure: A 5Β mm3 sample of SCP-357 is placed inside the rat's food. The rat is to be monitored for 24 hours after ingestion or until death, at which point it is to be dissected. |
Details: One hour after ingestion, SCP-357 is observed to be eliminated from the rat's digestive system. Soon after, the subject exhibits a pain response. The pain is observed to increase over time. Though the mass of the animal does not change, an increasing amount of SCP-357 is eliminated from its body, concluding with a continuous stream after three hours. Death occurs within minutes of this event. Dissection reveals that the entire digestive tract has been converted into SCP-357, along with a number of surrounding organs. Death is believed to have been caused by blood loss. |
Experiment Log 357-4: |
Date: ββ/ββ/ββββ |
Subject: One healthy Rattus norvegicus. |
Procedure: Procedure is identical to Experiment 357-3. The subject is provided an intravenous supply of blood to prevent premature death. |
Details: Observations up to the three hour mark match those of Experiment 357-3. The stream of SCP-357 extruded from the rat continues at a steady rate. After 30 more minutes, the subject becomes increasingly lethargic. 15 minutes later, death occurs. Dissection shows that much of the rat's viscera had been replaced with SCP-357, along with a significant portion of its muscle mass. Cause of death is determined to be due to conversion of part of the cardiac muscle into SCP-357. |
Experiment Log 357-5: |
Date: ββ/ββ/ββββ |
Subject: SCP-357 in cryogenic conditions |
Procedure: SCP-357 is placed into a liquid helium environment and mechanically compressed. |
Details: A pressure of 100Β N/cm2 is applied to SCP-357. The sample is able to be compressed to only 0.01Β mm3. While still compressed, the sample is allowed to return to room temperature. When pressure is removed, the sample immediately returns to a volume of 1Β mm3. |
Experiment Log 357-6: |
Date: ββ/ββ/ββββ |
Subject: SCP-357 in high temperature conditions |
Procedure: SCP-357 is compressed to 1Β mm3 while at room temperature. The mechanism is then placed in a 1000Β°C environment and then releases the sample. |
Details: At a temperature of 750Β°C inside the compression mechanism, SCP-357 expands with sufficient force to damage it. 40Β m3 of SCP-357 is produced within ten seconds, fully engulfing the furnace, $50,000 worth of equipment, and two researchers. After one hour, the volume of the sample decreases to the equivalent of the absorbed matter. Object class is changed from Safe to Euclid. No further high energy experiments are permitted unless it can be definitively shown that a repeat of the incident will not occur. |
Experiment Log 357-7: |
Date: ββ/ββ/ββββ |
Subject: SCP-357. |
Procedure: A 1Β mm3 sample of SCP-357 is placed in a 40Β m3 container. The ambient temperature is steadily increased in order to determine the material's rate of expansion from application of thermal energy. |
Details: The experiment is still pending Level 4 approval. Models of expansion and further information regarding safety procedures are needed from Dr. Bβββββ before a decision can be made. |

[ Title: SCP-361 is a bronze Etruscan artifact, in the shape of a sheep's liver.; Genre: Scientific; Tags: 3rdperson; Style: Dark ] |
*** |
Item #: SCP-361 |
Object Class: Safe |
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-361 is to be kept in a standard Artifact Containment Unit in Site-19's High Value wing. SCP-361 is to be kept in a cool and dry environment to prevent damage to the aged metal it is composed of, and thoroughly cleaned after each use. |
Description: SCP-361 is a bronze Etruscan artifact, in the shape of a sheep's liver. SCP-361 is covered in the names of Etruscan gods and instructions for various religious rites, and is believed to have served as a tool for practicing haruspicy- divination using animal organs. SCP-361 bears a strong resemblance to the non-anomalous artifact known as the Liver of Piacenza, with which it was originally found during the late 19th century. Both artifacts date to the 2nd-3rd century BCE, to the province of Piacenza, Italy. |
SCP-361's anomalous properties manifest if it comes into contact with a sheep's liver, removed no more than three (3) hours before interacting with SCP-361. When such contact is made, SCP-361 will vocalize (in a language and tone appropriate to the one introducing the liver to it) a set of instructions meant to achieve contact with one of the gods or spirits depicted in the writings covering it, through a service it refers to as "HarusCo". If these instructions are performed correctly within a period of thirty (30) seconds, SCP-361 will provide a new set of instructions. SCP-361's instructions will grow increasingly convoluted and/or nonsensical, until becoming almost impossible to perform under the given time limit. Failure to follow an instruction will cause SCP-361 to become inactive for a period of twenty-four (24) hours. |
Test Log SCP-361 |
Test-361-A |
Stage 1: A sheep's liver is introduced to SCP-361. |
Vocalization: Welcome to HarusCo! Your sacrifice is very important to us! For Tinia the Thunderer, please perform a horizontal incision on the offering. For Aita of the Underworld, please perform a vertical incision. For Maris, lightly cover your offering with the ash of a dead warrior related to you by blood. |
Stage 2: A horizontal incision is made. |
Vocalization: You have selected Tinia. For your weekly meteorological divination, please singe your offering over an open flame for five seconds. For warning bolts, please place a green olive on the altar. For beseechments and beneficial interventions, please attach a written consent from the Consulate Gods. For Catastrophes, please remove the head of an adult ox and hold. |
Stage 3: The liver is singed over an open flame. |
Vocalization: You have selected weekly meteorological divination. For your local forecast, please perform the seven sacred rites of Tinia while avoiding the anger of the mildew spirits. For forecasts for other areas, please perform the rites upon a boat of three masts or more. For a marital forecast, please consult with your local priestess of Uni. |
Stage 4: Researchers were unable to comply with the instructions in the given time frame. |
Vocalization: No input was received, this sacrifice will be disconnected. Thank you for using HarusCo, Rasna's #1 divination and deistic petition service for more than two thousand years! The Gods are looking forward to your next call! |

Addendum SCP-361-A: In order to examine the limits of SCP-361's ability to alter the language and tone it uses to interact with its user, a subject with a similar cultural origin to SCP-361 was required. For that purpose, a request for interaction between SCP-361 and SCP-1510, the persona of which originates from the same general area and time period, was made and accepted. |
Test 361-B |
Stage 1: Subject D-1510-104, wearing SCP-1510, introduces a sheep's liver to SCP-361. |
Vocalization: SCP-361 vocalizes in Classical Latin, the language spoken by SCP-1510-1. The instruction is translated to "Son of Romulus, speak the words thy father taught you, and your watcher will speak, his words carried by our spirit." |
Stage 2: SCP-1510-1 chants several phrases in Latin, later identified as an oath to Mars Gradivus. |
Vocalization: SCP-361's instruction is translated to "Place the aspect of your watcher at his feet, so he might see your altered form." |
Stage 3: SCP-1510-1 requests an open flame. He is given a camping gas lamp. SCP-1510 places the lit gas lamp at the feet of the table SCP-361 is placed on. |
Vocalization: SCP-361's instruction is translated to "Speak the duty of your watcher, so he might judge your worthiness." |
Stage 4: SCP-1510-1 speaks a Latin phrase, later identified as Mars Gradivus' oath: to guard, preserve, and protect the state, the peace and the senate. |
Vocalization: SCP-361's instruction is translated to "Show your watcher that you do not stand alone; Does he who guards your left carry with him your watcher's conviction?" |
Stage 5: SCP-1510-1 requests one of the supervising researchers to enter the room and touch SCP-361. Request granted. |
Vocalization: SCP-361 speaks in a different voice, still in classical Latin: "Courage, Publius. This too shall pass. When rust claims your soul at last, valor will make you into Aeneas, and carry you beyond these shores, to rest among your fathers." The voice was later identified by SCP-1510-1 as the voice of the persona's father. |
