+ NOTICE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EXTRA-UNIVERSAL AFFAIRS

+++ Oversight of Provisional Site-3389 has been subsumed by [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/secure-facility-dossier-site-98 Dimensional Research Site-98] under Assistant Director of Containment Dr. Alice Phoenix. Further testing of SCP-3389 is currently prohibited under any circumstances.

]]

**Special Containment Procedures:** All land both public and private, as well as any facilities contained therein, in a 10 km radius around SCP-3389 have been purchased by the Foundation's Department of Procurement and Liquidation and designated Provisional Site-3389. All roads and pedestrian pathways leading to SCP-3389 are to be cordoned off and maintain a patrol of armed guards. A specialized electric chain-link fence capable of producing electromagnetic waves harmful to instances of SCP-3389-G has been erected around the outer perimeter of SCP-3389.

As of 07/07/2024, a large steel and concrete mega-structure shielded against ionizing electromagnetic radiation, hereby referred to as the //Shield Structure//, has been erected around SCP-3389.[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]]See Incident Report 3389/2022 for more details.[[/span]] The Shield Structure consists of an inner structure, the "sarcophagus", and an additional outer structure, the "shell", which serve to contain any emerging instances of SCP-3389-G, as well as to house a patrol of sixteen armed personnel equipped with electromagnetic pulse rifles. The Foundation [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/disinformation-bureau-orientation Disinformation Bureau] is to maintain the public cover story that this structure is a particle accelerator constructed by the nearby NASA-owned Assembly and Manufacturing Complex, and operated as a joint public-private venture between NASA and the interSolar Convergence Program Corporation.[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]]iSCPC: Foundation front corporation which assists in maintaining the veil, particularly in regards to space-based or multi-dimensional anomalies.[[/span]]

If any instances of SCP-3389-S collapse, personnel stationed within the Shield Structure's shell are to terminate any emerging instances of SCP-3389-G. No entities emerging from the lake are to reach beyond the Shield Structure. If any personnel are apprehended by an instance of SCP-3389-G, every attempt is to be made to terminate the entity before they can pull Foundation personnel into the water. Any Foundation personnel who come into contact with SCP-3389, or an instance of SCP-3389-G, are to be administered Class-C Targeted Retrograde amnestics to remove any memory of the event, and then be reassigned. If an instance of SCP-3389-G manages to escape the Shield Structure, or move beyond the outer boundaries of Provisional Site-3389, Mobile Task Force Mu-3 ("Ghostbusters") is to be deployed to track down and neutralize them.

In the case that SCP-3389-M breaches the dimensional barrier, MTF Mu-3 is to be deployed to attempt re-containment of the entity before it can breach the perimeter of Provisional Site-3389. If containment is deemed impossible, all attempts are to be made to neutralize the entity.

**Description:** SCP-3389 is a man-made lake located in the northeastern United States, near the town of ████████, Pennsylvania. Any human being entering SCP-3389 will, after a variable amount of time not exceeding ten minutes, be pulled beneath the surface of the water regardless of the depth at which they were standing. A few minutes after being submerged, a statue (hereafter referred to as SCP-3389-S) of the subject's exact likeness will rise from the water in their place. These statues are unremarkable beyond their anomalous origin, consisting of a synthetic resin and concrete mixture, and given color by standard household latex paint.

Upon discovery by the Foundation, there were forty-eight instances of SCP-3389-S scattered around the lake, all in various states of decay. Seven remain as of 07/07/2024. It is currently unknown how many instances were present prior to containment.

Subjects pulled beneath SCP-3389’s surface will eventually re-emerge as incorporeal entities, manifesting primarily as anomalous electromagnetic signals (hereafter referred to as SCP-3389-G). Instances of SCP-3389-G surface from the water through an instance of SCP-3389-S, which will collapse moments prior. These entities emit varying amounts of ionizing electromagnetic radiation out to a radius of five meters at a rate anywhere from five rad per hour to one krad per hour. When observed through Electro-Magnetic Sight (EMS) equipment, SCP-3389-G entities bear a passing physical resemblance to the instance of SCP-3389-S through which they surfaced, though are known to be able to take on less humanoid forms for the purposes of moving through tighter spaces.

Once they have surfaced, the entities will begin moving towards the shoreline, actively attempting to seek out and capture any humanoid subject they encounter and bring them back into SCP-3389, in order to facilitate the creation of more instances of SCP-3389-G.

SCP 3389-M is the █████████ █████ ███ █████ ██ ███ ███ ██████████.[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]]Redacted by order of Director Henshaw of Dimensional Research Site-98. See GM Report for more details.[[/span]] Exposure to SCP-3389-M presents significant risk of becoming afflicted with Acute Radiation Syndrome (via direct physical exposure), as well as with an informational cognitohazard (via either direct or indirect exposure) whereby SCP-3389-M  gains access to the victim's knowledge and memories. Via these memories, SCP-3389-M seemingly gains the ability to manifest severe electromagnetic radiation, typically in the form of an instance of SCP-3389-G, around the subjects of said memories.[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]]See GM Report for more details.[[/span]]

[[div class="floatbox right"]]
**Addendum 3389-A1:** Due to the emission of severe ionizing radiation from most instances of SCP-3389-G, they are to be seen as hostile and treated as such.

**Addendum 3389-A2:** --Upon request from Doctor Albright, an expeditionary force has been granted authorization to attempt further testing. Provisional Site-3389 has been fitted with an expeditionary command center and communications to facilitate expeditions.--[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]]Expeditions into SCP-3389 are prohibited indefinitely. See SCP-3389 Expedition Logs for details.[[/span]]

**Addendum 3389-A3:** Following discoveries made through testing and Incident 3389/2022, further testing with SCP-3389 is prohibited. Security Clearance Level for SCP-3389 has been upgraded from Level 2 (Restricted) to Level 4 (Secret).

After initial tests on SCP-3389, it was determined to be an undue mortality risk to research personnel, and further planned expeditions were cancelled. Over the coming months, Doctor Corina Albright, as well as her research partner Madeleine Hart, reported strange dreams in which they bore witness to the events of their last expedition as though they were outside spectators.
> 
> In these dreams, both of them saw a clear visual of the various SCP-3389-G entities, as well as SCP-3389-M. They reported that it spoke cryptic phrases, often directed at them, but just as often not. Of note among these messages was a consistent theme of admonishment for past deeds, never with any specificity.
> 
> On 07/07/2022, the Director of Dimensional Research Site-98, Harvey Henshaw, experienced a similar dream wherein SCP-3389-M appeared to attempt to communicate with him directly. Upon waking, he prepared a report[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]]See GM Report: Access Password GM3389M[[/span]] and submitted it to the Foundation North American Oversight Committee with intent to permanently bar access to SCP-3389, and to increase security around Provisional Site-3389.
> 
> After review, increased security measures were approved. Measures consist of increased anti-radiation shielding for Site-98, completed after a six month construction period, and a large steel and concrete Shield Structure built around SCP-3389, completed after a two year construction period.
> 
> During construction of the Shield Structure, anomalous activity from SCP-3389 increased significantly. Over thirty instances of SCP-3389-S collapsed and gave rise to SCP-3389 entities which proceeded to harass and attack Foundation personnel on-site. This came in the form of direct attacks, where the entities would attempt to drag personnel back into SCP-3389, as well as indirect attacks in the form of hostile messages delivered either in person by the SCP-3389-G entities, or via dreams from SCP-3389-M.
> 
> As a result, construction was routinely delayed as personnel were regularly administered Class-C Targeted Retrograde amnestics, reassigned, and replaced by new personnel until the Shield Structure was completed.
> 
> Since construction of the Shield Structure was completed on 07/07/2024, anomalous activity from SCP-3389 has all but ceased entirely.

> On the night of 07/07/2022, I believe I was contacted by an extradimensional entity.
> 
> This entity spoke in riddles and rhymes, with poetic prose and little in the way of sense. It would often accuse me of sins in my past of which it claimed to know, but never elaborated on. What was clear, however, was that it possessed intimate knowledge of day-to-day operations within Site-98.
> 
> Above is an image produced from the electromagnetic wave data we collected during the second expedition, in which we made contact with the entity identified as SCP-3389-M. This entity appeared capable of splitting itself into multiple parts, as can be seen in the above image, as well as increasing its size (and, subsequently, its radiation output) by absorbing nearby instances of SCP-3389-G.
> 
> The concerning part of these readouts is that they seem to register biological life-signs as well as the expected electromagnetic waves. After thorough investigation, it has been identified that these biological signatures match perfectly to brain-wave patterns from every person we sent into SCP-3389, as well as many of their immediate acquaintances, such as myself. These waves emit from the structure at the center of the entity. Also of note, this structure seems to duplicate in full when the entity splits, rather than being divided. The significance of this is unknown at this time.
> 
> During our time spent analyzing these readings and attempting to ascertain the potential threat posed by SCP-3389-M, it continued to communicate with me, as well as with many of the staff at Site-98. It knew my schedule, the schedules of top research staff, and the identities of MTF Mu-3 agents assigned to oversee SCP-3389. Much more concerning, it seemed to be learning about other anomalous objects we have contained on-site.
> 
> This came to a head when communication was established with Doctor Alice Phoenix, our Assistant Director of Containment. In her time at Site-98, Doctor Phoenix oversaw testing of [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4192 SCP-4192]. Approximately two days following SCP-3389-M's making contact with her, Foundation satellites picked up massive electromagnetic waves impacting the Earth's magnetosphere. We determined the cause of this to be anomalous electromagnetic waves affecting SCP-4192, originating from SCP-3389.

> Prior testing with and expeditions into SCP-3389 have compromised Site-98. Class-C Targeted Retrograde amnestics have been administered to all personnel affected by the cognitohazardous properties of SCP-3389, and Class-B Regressive Retrograde amnestics have been administered to Doctor Corina Albright, Senior Researcher Madeleine Hart, and all personnel originally assigned to Provisional Site-3389, sufficient to remove any memory of ever having known of SCP-3389's existence. Multi-U has transferred full responsibility of the site to us, and we have since replaced the staff at Provisional Site-3389, with Albright, Hart, and the rest having been reassigned to a different facility.
> 
> The administration of amnestics, along with cessation of further testing of SCP-3389, appears to have resolved the issue, and no further containment contamination has been reported. A request has been submitted to retrofit Site-98 with increased electromagnetic shielding, and all personnel are now required to undertake a monthly health screening to search for signs of SCP-3389 Cognitohazard infection.
> 
> Additional requests have been made to consider the construction of a "sarcophagus" structure around SCP-3389, similar to that of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, in order to provide an additional layer of security.
> 
> Signed Director Harvey Henshaw, Dimensional Research Site-98.
