Special Containment Procedures: The authenticity of SCP-8334-1's anomalous effect is under investigative review by O5-8. Until the exact mechanics of SCP-8334-1 can be determined, no microwave-based weaponry is to be deployed by the Foundation for covert operations.
As of 25/10/2025, the remains of SCP-8334-2 are under analysis and are not to be removed from Site-47.
Description: SCP-8334-1 is a prototype, long-range, handheld, microwave DEW1 built as part of PROJECT: IOWA.
For exact specifications of SCP-8334-1, please contact Site Director Pullum.
SCP-8334-2 refers to Benedict Shelly, former R&D lead at Site-47. It was discovered on 23/10/2025 that the internal structure of his head had heavily deviated from that of the baseline internal cranial structure of a Homo Sapiens. See further documentation for exact details.
It is currently undetermined if SCP-8334-1 produced SCP-8334-2 or is directly responsible for incident 8334.a.
Addendum: Footage of Incident8334.a:
VIDEO LOG
DATE: 23/10/2025
NOTE: Footage was taken from a secure weapons testing chamber in Site-47. O5-8, MTF Alpha-1 members "Sunny-Days" & "Bottoms-Up", and SCP-8334-2 were all present at time of recording.
[BEGIN LOG]
O5-8, Bottoms-Up, and 8334-2 can be seen behind a panel of protective glass bisecting the room. 8334-1 is being operated by Sunny-Days and is in the process of firing on an active portable kinetic shield placed next to a ballistic test dummy, perpendicular to the protective screen.
8334-2: Great work, Sunny; now, could you please place the generator on the dummy?
Sunny-Days walks across the room, following 8334-2's instructions. Once the generator is in place, he returns to his original position.
8334-2: And can you confirm that you haven't turned off the device?
Sunny-Days: Yes, sir.
8334-2: Then go ahead and do your thing.
Sunny-Days swivels 90° clockwise to face the dummy. He un-holsters his Sig Sauer M17 and unloads the entire magazine into the dummy.
O5-8: Well, I've gotta hand it to you, Shelly, this sure is a great start, but PROJECT: IOWA needs more than that.
8334-2: Ah, well, here's the fun part.
8334-2 leaves the observation area and enters into the testing area, standing near the now-destroyed ballistics dummy.
8334-2: Whilst we wait for the demonstration brain to be brought up from the morgue, I figured I'd demonstrate my baby's versatility a little more. Sunny?
Sunny-Days re-arms SCP-8334 and fires it directly at 8334-2's head.
8334-2: As you can see, she's completely harmless to biological matter at lower signal strengths, but if Sunny here dialled up the power just a bit, he would lobotomise me before I could even say lobotomy. Even higher and the entire brain is boiled. But thankfully at this level all I can feel is a mild warmth in my head, which shouldn't result in any lasting da-
The head of SCP-8334-2 explodes.

Addendum: Table of results conducted following incident 8334.a
| Type | -1 Results | -2 Results | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hume | Baseline | Baseline | Rules out possibility of standard reality manipulation. |
| EVE | Baseline | Baseline | Rules out possibility of standard thaumaturgical activity. |
| Cuil | Unabstracted | Unabstracted | Rules out possibility of standard reality abstraction. |
These results rule out thaumaturgy, and reality bending/abstraction, suggesting that SCP-8334-2 did not gain its anomalous effect during incident 8334.a but was unknowingly anomalous prior. Site-47 staff have also been unable to replicate incident 8334.a on mice. Whilst evidence is not wholly conclusive, it is likely that SCP-8334-1 possesses no anomalous effects
| SCP-8334-2 Sample | Comments |
|---|---|
| Ballistic gel | Most likely contamination from the test dummy |
| Skull fragments | Significantly thinner than expected of human skull bones. Calcium carbonate concentration at 80%. |
| Brain matter | Significantly less matter than expected. Tissue samples were surrounded by a yellow fluid, primarily consisting of fatty acids2 and protein3 |
| Off-white liquid/solids | Found to both be the same chemical composition, consisting mostly of water4 with some proteins, which likely uncoiled from being heated and created the solid tissue. |
Results of this data are still under analysis for further information.
