SCP-261 Experiment Log Maintenance

Red articles have been marked as such for complete deletion without being salvaged. This could be from a variety of factors, but were mainly chosen if they fell into one of the following categories:

  • Actual product with different flavor / Discontinued product with no other properties
  • Blatant reference to external media
  • Written as gross out humor with no other qualities
  • Blatantly disregards the established rules of 261
  • Or is completely unsalvageable

Blue articles have been marked as such for rewrites or reworkings of their concept. These tests have some issues, but were made in good faith and with the spirit of the anomaly in mind. These issues could range from glaring formatting problems to slight SPAG errors, but all changes have been marked in a collapsible below the test.

Item description: An olive green plastic bag of dried bay leaves. Packaging in ancient Greek, Delphic dialect, with the phrase "Pythia's Choice™ brand Bay Leaves." Three leaves were fed to subject D-3968. Subject reported loss of feeling in his limbs, displayed unusual vocal patterns, and seemed to be entering a trancelike state. Upon consuming two more leaves, the subject collapsed and went into convulsions, screaming apparent gibberish interspersed with ancient Greek of the same dialect displayed on the package. Subject continued to convulse for three minutes and twenty-four seconds, then became limp and unresponsive. Subject died two days afterward, with no signs of recovery. Analysis of leaves has shown an extremely high concentration of ethylene, a chemical compound known to cause the observed effects. How the subject spoke Delphic Greek is as yet unknown. The translation of the subject's outburst is largely nonsensical, and is available on file by request.
