Item #: SCP-8921 Object Class: Keter Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation is to provide funding to and otherwise support organisations and politicians in favour of universal healthcare, particularly in countries which do not possess it. Additionally, propaganda is to be spread through both major outlets and social media in order to popularise universal healthcare among the general population further.
The use of Artificial Intelligence pretending to be human on social media to promote universal healthcare among the population is currently undergoing preliminary trials.
Security footage from ambulance parking spaces, as well as any miscellaneous footage of ambulances is to be closely monitored for evidence of SCP-8921, and anyone affected by an SCP-8921 event is to be treated accordingly. The patient of an SCP-8921 event is always to be interviewed prior to being amnesticised. Anyone affected by or who witnessed an SCP-8921 Type A or Type C event is to be given Class A or Class B amnestics, depending on the recency of the event. Those involved in Type C events are to be monitored afterward, as the administered amnestics may prove less effective due to the nature of a Type C event.
Those who witnessed an SCP-8921 Type B event are to be amnesticised using either Class A or Class B if they are not related to or acquinted with the patient. The patient, as well as those related to or acquinted with them, are to be temporarily taken into Foundation custody to be amnesticised using Class C amnestics. A small-scale disinformation campaign may be necessary if the community surrounding the patient was familiar with their disability.
Description: SCP-8921 is a temporary anomalous replacement of an ambulance crew en route to a patient in critical condition. Currently, it has only been found to manifest in countries that lack universal healthcare. Due to the nature of SCP-8921, the only means of containment have been deemed neutralisation through global implementation of universal healthcare.
SCP-8921 was discovered on 24-07-1988, after a woman from ████████, Iowa, USA phoned the police, reporting that her husband had been ‘satanically healed’ by ‘cultists dressed as doctors’.
A police interview with the woman revealed that her husband had fallen off a step ladder and suffered a severe head wound. After calling emergency services, an ambulance arrived on scene, whose crew took her husband into the vehicle, emerging “in under a minute”. The crew then requested a ceramic plate, which her husband retrieved from within the house and handed over. The woman did not attempt to stop him. When asked why she did not interfere, she reported still having been shocked by her husband's fall.
The man and woman, as well as the relevant police officers and involved ambulance crew, were interviewed and amnesticised. The police report was confiscated by the Foundation.
The replaced ambulance crew, henceforth referred to as SCP-8921-1, maintain the same appearance as the regular crew. No changes in voice, personality, or memory have been noted, although it is difficult to ascertain the accuracy of this claim, since the only source is patients being treated by SCP-8921-1 and the surrounding people. No cases exist in which the crew was in any way acquainted with any person involved in an SCP-8921 event. Currently, the only way to detect SCP-8921-1 prior to the ‘payment request’ is the abnormally low body temperature found in SCP-8921-1 instances, which has been estimated as being around 17°C from infrared camera footage of SCP-8921-1.
Notably, this was the same as the ambient temperature. Due to there existing only one (1) known infrared recording of SCP-8921-1, it can not be confirmed whether this was coincidental, or whether SCP-8921-1 does not convert energy to heat itself. People who have physically interacted with SCP-8921-1 universally testify to their low body temperature.
The moment of manifestation of SCP-8921 is certainly prior to contact with the patient the ambulance is headed toward, but the precise time can not be determined due to the difficulty in detecting SCP-8921 prior to patient contact. Once SCP-8921-1 arrives at the patient whom the ambulance was called for, it will place the patient on a stretcher and carry it into the ambulance as soon as possible. SCP-8921-1 will do this regardless of the injuries or condition of the patient, though it appears that the patient is never harmed further by this. Witnesses and patients will never attempt to impede SCP-8921-1, which is believed to be an anomalous effect of SCP-8921.
Approximately 20-30 seconds after entering the vehicle, the patient will walk out of the ambulance along with SCP-8921-1, with their body fully restored, irrespective of their condition prior to entry. Regeneration is not just limited to the reason for the emergency call, but to all ailments and disabilities the patient may be suffering from. This includes recovery from paralysis, the reappearance of lost limbs, and the reversal of a terminal disease such as Parkinson’s. Interviews with patients have shown that they do not remember their stay within the ambulance, and did not realise the peculiarity of their regeneration until after SCP-8921-1 drove away.
Upon exiting of the vehicle after healing the patient, SCP-8921-1 will request payment from the patient. The payment will always: - Be promptly accessible to and payable by the patient.
- Not be monetary in nature.
- Be singular.
No other discernible pattern to requested payment has been discovered. The patient will feel strongly compelled to comply with SCP-8921-1’s request, regardless of how unusual the requested compensation is. Requested payments have included, but are not limited to: a soccer ball, a sugar cube, a tooth brush, and a roof tile. Of the 120 recorded manifestations of SCP-8921, payment has been refused 7 times. In each instance, SCP-8921-1 asked whether the patient was sure, and upon confirmation, re-entered the ambulance without further incident. No negative consequences have been found from refusing to pay SCP-8921-1.
Demanifestation of SCP-8921 is marked by the increase in body temperature of the crew to 37°C, as well as the disappearance of the requested payment. Demanifestation occurs either upon return to the ambulance bay, or upon the ambulance being entered by another human (see Addendum 8921-2). When interviewed, those replaced by SCP-8921-1 do not remember being dispatched, nor having seen or treated the patient who was healed by SCP-8921-1. Records of dispatchment however do not disappear.
When this is brought up, interviewees will act confused and be incapable of providing an explanation.
In order to appropriately deal with manifestations of SCP-8921, events have been separated into 3 types, collected in the table below.
Event Type Description Amount % of Total Events Type A An injury or illness acquired recently, curable by modern medicine, is healed by SCP-8921.
86 71.67% Type B A physical disability or injury beyond the scope of modern medicine, such as paralysis, missing limbs, or blindness, is healed by SCP-8921.
33 27.50% Type C A terminal illness (only current recorded event being Parkinson’s) is healed by SCP-8921.
1 0.83% After accounting for population levels of the given categories and their risk level, as well as their likelihood of getting in contact with emergency services, SCP-8921 manifestations appear totally random. Event types are proportional to the amount of emergency calls from the given demographics.
Addendum 8921-1: Notable Requests A few notable requests from SCP-8921-1 have been collected below, including notability and the injuries that were healed.
Request Description Emergency A strand of the patient's hair The only instance of a biological item being requested. The patient cut a hair off with some nearby scissors.
Patient suffered a spontaneous pneumothorax after experiencing an asthma attack.
A painting from the patient's home The largest recorded request. The painting measured at 110 x 40 centimeters.
Patient suffered penetrating thoracic trauma of unknown specifications after being repeatedly stabbed.
A breath The only instance of a gas being requested. The patient blew air into the SCP-8921-1 instance’s face. This appeared to be sufficient.
Patient suffered from severe burns to the scalp after her hair caught fire due to sudden winds at a bonfire.
A diamond ring By far the most expensive object requested. Notably, the patient was substantially wealthy and measured among the top 0.01% in their country of residence.
Patient suffered a myocardial infarction.
For a list of all recorded cases and requests, see Document SCP-8921-RCL Addendum 8921-2: Infiltration of Active Manifestation On ██-██-2003, an active SCP-8921 manifestation was intercepted following a 911 call from a perplexed man who had just witnessed an SCP-8921 Type B event. The man's daughter reportedly regained an arm following her interaction with SCP-8921-1. The ambulance responsible was located and followed by 2 nearby members of Mobile Task Force Psi-19 "Studious Locals" by car. When the ambulance was forced to halt due to a traffic jam, Agent J. ██████ exited the car and breached the ambulance. At this moment, the object requested by SCP-8921-1 (a mug) was observed to disappear in footage captured by Agent S. ████. Upon entry, the ambulance crew appeared frightened by Agent J. ██████. A check of their body temperature revealed that they were no longer anomalous.
The ambulance crew was interviewed and amnesticised. No notable information was gleaned from the interview.
