Addendum 2275.2: Imperial Commission on Transgressive 
Occurrences Dispatch No. 37 


Researcher's Note: The following is a transcription of a dispatch 
from the Imperial Commission on Transgressive Occurrences, an 
agency of the Austro-Hungarian Empire active from 1830-1839. 
Headquartered in Budapest, this agency was tasked with 
investigating what would be contemporarily termed as paranormal 
activity. Archives of this agency were turned over to the Foundation 
following discussions with Soviet authorities in 1990. Translated for 
this file into English from the original Hungarian. 


On an unknown correspondent of Mr. Lovrenc KoSir 


This Commission notes for the records and benefit of the 
Voivode a curious incident reported by Lovrenc KoSir, a 
public official of the Empire who has attained renown for 
his innovations in the postal system. 


In my visit with Mr. Kosir at the Ruszwurm coffee house, 
he described to me how he conceived of his celebrated 
invention. The idea of developing a system of postage 
that would eliminate the burdensome prospect of 


payment upon delivery of parcels, Mr. KoSsir described, 
was one that took hold of his person, dominating his 
thoughts and waking hours. He came to playfully imagine 
this all-consuming desire as a species of muse, such as 
those fancifully described by artists and poets and the 
like. He termed his muse "Philatea," and would often 
invoke her presence when sketching out designs for his 
stamps and drafting protocols for their deployment. 


The first letter he received from "Philatea" was shocking 
to Mr. KoSir, as he had not told anyone of his imagined 
inspiration for his idea, nor even discussed his innovation 
at all except with peers in the Ministry and abroad. The 
level of detail with which Philatea described Mr. KoSir's 
idea and his passion for seeing it adopted was highly 
uncanny, and no reasonable explanation of how anyone 
could write with this knowledge was apparent. 


In spite of the somewhat otherworldly nature of this 
letter, Mr. KoSir was moved by the eloquence and shared 
ardor for his idea with which Philatea wrote. As | read the 
contents of the mysterious letter, | had to agree. 
Whoever this woman was, she was filled with grand 
ideas about the importance of correspondence, of 
shared understanding between all quarters of humanity. | 
read the letters that Mr. KoSir received, and | could not 
help but be inspired with a vision of a grand Brotherhood 
of Man, so beautifully elaborated in this woman's elegant 
script and flights of poetic phrase. 


Mr. KoSir responded to his newfound associate in turn, 
and began an intensive correspondence, which he 
confided to me as being largely responsible for his 
thought processes in developing the particulars of how 
his system of stamped postage would be implemented. 
Mr. KoSir showed me the letters he received from his 
partner in this venture, and drew my attention to the fact 
that Philatea's correspondence already bore stamps 
such as those that are now common in the Empire but 
were unknown at the time. These stamps featured the 


hopeful countenance of a young woman, the small 
portraits echoing perfectly the enthusiasm which Mr. 
Kosir described himself feeling as he pursued his idea. 


Once Mr. KoSir submitted his plan to his superiors and 
saw the fruits of his labors realized, he ceased his 
correspondence, letting several congratulatory letters 
from Philatea remain unanswered, as he attended to 
other matters in his life and moved on to new 
professional pursuits. Eventually, the letters stopped 
arriving. 


| am told by Mr. KoSir that he had heard of our 
Commission and our investigatory duties in his work in 
Vienna, and wished to report this curious event. Mostly, 
so he said, out of a desire to see if Philatea was indeed a 
real person, to whom some credit for his successful 
invention should be given. | do get the distinct 
impression, however, that Mr. KoSir is somewhat 
troubled by the mysterious provenance of the letters that 
he displayed to me. 


The unusual nature of our meeting notwithstanding, my 
conversation with Mr. KoSir was an enlightening and 
pleasant one. He did leave me, by way of our parting 
exchanges, with a sense of unmistakeable regret on his 
part, a sort of sorrow at the loss of this fantastic 
correspondence. He wistfully remarked, as older 
gentlemen are wont to, that he wished the matter had 
been just a little different, that he had not laid aside this 
mystery of his as he pursued the later course of life. 


The notability of the personage involved in this 
occurrence is certainly unusual, and | believe the matter 
is worthy of further study. | have enclosed the 
correspondence referenced above, which Mr. KoSir has 
so kindly provided to us for our purposes. We shall 
speak more of this when | arrive again in Buda Pest a 
fortnight hence. 


Sealed and Signed, 


Dezsé6 Nemes

SCP-2276: Too many GRACE 


Item #: SCP-2276 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2276 instances are to be 
reprogrammed with modified software as they are discovered, to 
prevent transmission conflicts with other instances and reduce their 
radio-frequency footprint. See Document 2276-W for details. 


Instances are to be logged in civilian databases as small asteroids 
of equivalent visual magnitude as appropriate, depending on 
location. 


Where possible, instances in orbit of earth are to be de-orbited and 
any debris recovered; otherwise any available station-keeping fuel is 
to be reserved for averting collisions with legitimate civilian satellites. 


SCP-2276 instances may be used for gathering scientific data, 
however a number of restrictions apply. Use by external researchers 
or agencies must be approved and requires an appropriate non- 
disclosure agreement. Note that data pertaining to other SCP 
objects may have additional restrictions beyond those for SCP-2276. 
Under no circumstances is the data gathered by SCP-2276 (other 
than SCP-2276/1) to be released to the public. 


Research into orbital debris removal is to be given high priority for 
funding. Grants may also be given to groups outside the Foundation 
for research in this area. 


Description: SCP-2276 is a class of artificial space satellites, 
orbiting various bodies in pairs. (Each SCP instance designation 
refers to one pair.) Each pair is an exact duplicate of the original 
Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites (designated 
SCP-2276/1) as they existed at 18:04 on June 11, 2002. 
SCP-2276/1 was originally launched by NASA on March 17, 2002.

Instances are functional and will respond to commands transmitted 
to them. However, transmissions must be aimed directly when 
commanding instances that have not yet been reprogrammed per 
2276-W, to avoid accidentally commanding multiple instances at 
once. 


New instances of SCP-2276 will spontaneously manifest in orbit 
around Earth or another body. The rate at which new instances 
appeared was initially around one per 8 months. The rate has 
increased over time since then - around one new instance per day in 
early 2016 - and is predicted to continue rising. 


991 instances have been discovered to date!, 347 of which are not 

in orbit of Earth. Orbits are all circular with varying altitudes, and are 
isotropically distributed. A complete catalog of SCP-2276 instances 

is available in Addendum A. 


SCP-2276/3a and b were recovered from orbit on April 22, 2004. 
Physical inspection at Area 15 revealed no inconsistencies, and no 
anomalous phenomena occurred during quarantine. SCP-2276/3 is 
currently in storage at Site 73. 


A third satellite was launched into proximity of SCP-2276-1 on 
January 4th, 2006 to conduct visual inspections of the satellites. No 
discrepancies have been found between the SCP-2276/1 and the 
satellite plans to date. 


A number of collisions occurred between SCP-2276 instances and 
other artificial satellites in 2007-2009, prompting the addition of the 
active collision avoidance program to the containment measures. 
This has significantly reduced the incident rate. 


While the rate of incidents arising from collisions with SCP-2276 
remains manageable at the present time, SCP-2276 will likely pose 
a significant problem for space activities in the future, and may lead 
to an ablation cascade event? within the next decade if actions are 
not taken to avert it.

Addendum B: Use of SCP-2276 in researching other anomalies 


Due to its nature, there are a number of SCP-2276 instances 
uniquely situated to gather data on other anomalies and SCP 
objects. With a few exceptions, use of SCP-2276 data to facilitate 
this type of research is generally permitted with proper clearance. 


Research Target: SCP-2886 

SCP-2276 instances involved: 316 

Description: SCP-2276 has been used to help measure 
the mass of SCP-2886. Due to the presence of only one 
instance, SCP-2276/316, the resolution has been too 
limited to provide a clear subsurface imagery, but 
research is ongoing. 


Research Target: SCP-1812 

SCP-2276 instances involved: 696, 794 

Description: Knowledge of SCP-2276/696 and 
SCP-2276/794 is restricted to individuals with 3/1812 
clearance. No attempt is to be made to contact or locate 
SCP-2276/696 or SCP-2276/794. 


Research Target: SCP-736 

SCP-2276 instances involved: 295, 366, 485, 661, 774, 
919, 975 

Description: SCP-2276 has been used to provide 
precise data on the alterations in the orbit of lapetus 
caused by SCP-736. This data has allowed vastly 
enhanced precision in the associated orbital projections. 
Missions are underway to attempt to remove all 
SCP-2276 instances from the orbit of lapetus to avoid 
provoking SCP-736 further. 


Research Target: SCP-2362 

SCP-2276 instances involved: 672, 711, 877, 891 
Description: Instances in orbit of SCP-2362 and 
SCP-2362-like objects are being used to study the 
nature of this anomaly, and monitor them in case of 
activity. Note that most instances of SCP-2276 in orbit of 
SCP-2362 were destroyed by debris following event 
2362-A.
