Commencing at 0200, MTF Tau-5 deployed by helicopter. Flight 
conditions were normal and all elements arrived on target at 0212. 


At 0209, Local security established the outer cordon. At 0212, HQ, 
Rifle and Weapons squads deployed to LZ Charlie. At around 0216, 
Rifle and Weapons squads commenced their assault, and quickly 
secured both gates. Three sentries were removed (one dead, two 
wounded) with no friendly casualties. Black Owl 4 observed lights 
and activity in Building A. 


At around 0221, the compound was cleared to Building A with no 
additional resistance. An approximately 13 year old male was 
encountered in Building C (a goat shed) and detained. This person 
was later determined to be an uninvolved civilian employee, with no 
useful intelligence and was released following amnestization. 


At around 0225, Rifle Squad reported that the inner cordon was 
established. Weapons squad established SBF 2. 


Commencing around 0225, Samsara squad inserted into the 
western third story mezzanine and entered the south wing. 


Black Owl 4 moved into overwatch and observed a two man RPG 
team moving across the south wing roof. SBF 2 notified and snipers 
engaged with two confirmed kills. 


Samsara squad encountered heavy resistance in the third floor 
mezzanine access (room A-35S). Encountered hostiles were four 
human cult members and two Type-IV semi-volitional thaumaturgical 
animated revenants all armed with AKM rifles and set up ina 
prepared ambush. Sgt. Irantu and Spc. Onru established a base of 
fire as Cpl. Munru and Spc. Nanku assaulted through the enemy 
position. The revenants demonstrated considerable resistance to 
small arms fire (including Spelleater munitions) and were finally 
successfully neutralized by gross central nervous system damage. 
Three of the human hostiles were wounded, secured and detained 
in place and one was confirmed killed. No additional resistance was 
encountered on the first floor. 


A counterattacking force was encountered at the stairway to the 
second floor (room A-21S). Hostile forces consisted of five men 


armed with AKM rifles. MTF troopers were able to hold the top of the 
stairs and engaged the hostiles at the second floor landing. Hostiles 
threw a single fragmentation grenade (identified as an RGD type), 
bouncing against the ceiling, and landing behind the MTF position. 
Corporal Munru covered the grenade with his body and was killed in 
action. This assault was subsequently repelled with one hostile 
killed, and two wounded and captured, the remaining two retreated 
into the second floor. Prisoners were secured and detained in place. 


With Spc. Onru securing the stairway from the first floor, Sgt. lrantu 
and Spc. Nanku proceeded to sweep and clear the second floor. A 
hasty ambush was encountered on entry of room A-23S, consisting 
of two armed men and a thaumaturgic practitioner. Sergeant lrantu 
was targeted on entry with a Level-Ill lethal malefice but his warding 
implant held. The practitioner, identified as Juan Carlos de Guzman, 
was shot and wounded, and the remaining men subsequently 
surrendered. Guzman was stabilized, and all three prisoners were 
secured in place. 


As Samsara squad proceeded to clear the second floor an armed 
group of two adult men and one adult woman attempted to leave 
building A by the south entrance. SBF 2 began suppression of the 
group. The woman attempted to run through the killzone, apparently 
relying on esoteric defenses against small arms. Snipers engaged 
with Spelleater rounds, killing the woman (later identified as Maria 
de Guzman). The guards fell back to the entrance, initially returning 
sporadic fire, but then quickly surrendered and were detained by the 
inner cordon. 


Samsara squad then moved to clear the first floor. On entry of room 
A-13S a Type-ll Qlippothic entity (provisionally identified as a 
Naamahim Corruptor) engaged the MTF troopers in close combat. 
Spc. Nanku reported that a humanoid figure was visible briefly 
behind the entity before activating a Way and vanishing. Sgt. lrantu 
was Critically wounded and Spc. Nanku was superficially wounded. 
Postmortem analysis of Sgt. Irantu's warding implant shows that the 
system was weakened by his prior exposure to a lethal malefice 
enough for the Qlippothic entity to penetrate the wards. Spc. Onru 
deployed a 40mm banishment grenade at close range and 
successfully dispersed the entity. The blast also inflicted 


fragmentation wounds to Spc. Nanku's left leg. 


Spc. Onru and Spc. Nanku then crossed the courtyard to clear the 
north wing. No hostile contact occurred during this movement. 
Twelve uninvolved civilian dependents and employees of al 
Marrakesh, were detained and concentrated by MTF T-5 in room 
A-12N at 0235. 


Sgt. lrantu was medivac'd to Ben Guerir Air Base in critical 
condition, arrived at 0255 and was immediately uploaded. 


No additional resistance was encountered. Ahmed al Marrakesh 
was located hiding in a spider hole in the courtyard and surrendered 
without incident. 


Combat operations were concluded by 0245 and the site was 
designated as secure. MTF Tau-5 was successfully relieved by 
Senior Agent Mohammed Pasha, and his team from Area-28 at 
0430.

10. Problem Areas: 


1. Esoteric Counterintelligence: 

Hostile forces were able to quickly react to the operation in part due 
to divinations performed by the targets. Foundation counter- 
divinatory measures were at best only partially effective in 
maintaining operational stealth. 


2. Esoteric Weaponry: 

While warded munitions performed as designed in respect to 
defensive magic, the Spelleater rounds again failed to have any 
significant effect on thaumaturgically animated constructs. The 
40mm banishment grenade was extremely effective, but close 
quarters deployment caused significant fratricidal damage. 


11. Commander’s Analysis 


The SAMSARA troopers were extremely effective in an extremely 
hazardous operation, leveraging a high degree of individual 
competence and combat experience with a consistent level of 
personal bravery and risk tolerance impossible in normal troops. 
They took no unnecessary risks, and accomplished all mission 
objectives without unnecessarily endangering human life or the 
Foundation’s interests. Conventional military practice is to consider 
a unit destroyed after suffering 30% casualties, yet the SAMSARA 
troopers completed the mission with half the squad disabled. They 
will be combat operational again in only a few weeks with unit 
cohesiveness, training, and experience intact and no need to rebuild 
the unit with replacement soldiers. 


The paratech equipment load-out on this mission was a true force 
multiplier. Each SAMSARA trooper's effectiveness matched or 
exceeded their org-chart weight as individually equivalent to an 
entire conventional MTF fireteam. This is a marked improvement 
over the effectiveness of this program a year ago. 


The ARGENT ICON ritual was successfully prevented and three 
potent practitioners were neutralized. Two of those are now 
prisoners of the Foundation, and are likely to yield high value 
intelligence on occult activities. Additionally a significant cache of 
thaumaturgical literature and paraphernalia was confiscated. As a 
result the human race is significantly safer. 


One person of interest escaped through thaumaturgical means and 
is presumably still active and capable of recreating ARGENT ICON, 
representing a continued potential threat to humanity. Further 
improvements in our equipment, procedures and training are 
needed to ensure mission success going forward.

SCP-2971: Whole Lotta (Reality) Shakin’ Goin’ On! 


In accordance with Protocol Myra, this message is 
here to reaffirm to you that SCP-2971-A DID NOT 
EXIST. Jerry Lee Lewis did not leave his home on 
December 28th, 2012, and the Vic Stanley Country 
Club does not exist. 


There will be messages throughout this article to 
dispute the existence of SCP-2971-A. Read these 
messages in their entirety, and consider their points 
until you believe them to be the truth. If you find 
yourself unable to accept that SCP-2971-A never 
occured, close this file immediately, remove yourself 
from your workstation, and report to your supervisor 
for amnestic treatment. 


Item #: SCP-2971 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Persons suspected to be 
carriers of SCP-2971 are to be monitored through their social media 
accounts, bank account statements, and whereabouts. Information 
spread by these persons regarding SCP-2971-A is to be censored, 
and the subject in question detained. 


Internet search engines are to be monitored for search levels of the 
phrases (or variations of these phrases) ‘Think about it’, "Rock and 
Roll Sacrifice’, ‘Cliff Bogg’, 'Vic Stanley Country Club’, and 
‘December 28th, 2012". If SCP-2971-related keywords are 
repeatedly searched from a single I.P. address, the location of the 
I.P. is to be tracked and agents are to take all persons at the 
location into custody for questioning and administration of Protocol 
Myra. 


Protocol Myra is to be enacted on subjects confirmed to be under 


the influence of SCP-2971. Protocol Myra consists of firm refutal that 
SCP-2971-A existed, followed by rationalizating to the subject why it 
didn't exist. This has proven to be enough to cure SCP-2971 in 
100% of cases. 


Jerry Lee Lewis' home address and all properties owned by him are 
to be wire-tapped, and Lewis himself is to be monitored for any 
SCP-2971-related phenomena. Personnel assigned to monitoring 
Lewis are to log any notable findings and notify their immediate 
superiors of them should they occur. 


Description: SCP-2971 is a memetic localized reality-restructuring 
event that causes the subject to believe they attended a live Jerry 
Lee Lewis concert held at the Vic Stanley Country Club in Ferriday, 
Louisiana on December 28th, 2012 (Dubbed SCP-2971-A). 
SCP-2971-A never actually occured, and no business named 'Vic 
Stanley Country Club’ exists. SCP-2971 is passed to an uninfected 
subject through reading or discussing the topic of SCP-2971-A or its 
contents with an infected person. SCP-2971 can also be transmitted 
via text regarding SCP-2971-A, hence the requirement for Protocol 
Myra. The topic of SCP-2971 without mention of SCP-2971-A as an 
event is not sufficient to spread infection. 


SCP-2971-A never occured. Jerry Lee Lewis was at home 
resting on December 28th, 2012. He did not perform that day. 


Infection of a subject by SCP-2971 has two primary effects: 


Effect A: The subject will suddenly gain a thorough recollection of 
SCP-2971-A's setlist, comments made by Jerry Lee Lewis during 
SCP-2971-A, and other details such as their journey to the Vic 
Stanley Country Club. Subjects affected by SCP-2971 will excitedly 
attempt to tell others about the event (thereby spreading SCP-2971), 
and show an abnormally increased interest in Lewis' songs and 
history, bordering on obsession. Upon curing a subject of 
SCP-2971, all of these memories will disappear, and any anomalous 
interest in Lewis will cease. 


Effect B: SCP-2971 implements a localized reality-restructuring 
effect. Persons afflicted by it will have historically attended 
SCP-2971-A, despite the event having not occured at all for non- 


infected persons. In their possession are often memorabillia from 
SCP-2971-A. Some examples include autographs, non-anomalous 
CD-ROMs|, T-shirts and amateur recordings of the event. Upon 
curing a subject of SCP-2971, all of the subject's items acquired this 
way will disappear. 


One notable symptom of SCP-2971 infection is an abnormally 
frequent use of the phrase 'Think about it'2. The phrase itself is not 
anomalous, and contributes to the spread of SCP-2971 no more 
than conversation about SCP-2971-A usually does. In 100% of 
cases to date, however, frequent use of the phrase has 
accompanied SCP-2971 infection. 


SCP-2971 has no known source; on December 29th, 2012, it is 
believed to have spontaneously spread to an apparently random 
selection of 2,446 citizens in the state of Louisiana, with the 
exception of the largest cluster of subjects within the Ferriday city 
limits. 


SCP-2971-A did not happen. You were at work on December 
28th, 2012, so you would not have had the time to attend a 
concert. 


When Foundation agents had discovered SCP-2971, a telephone 
call to the Lewis household was made in order to ascertain his 
status. The Foundation was unable to talk to Lewis himself, but 
spoke to an assistant who said Lewis was fine except for ‘a bout of 
headaches' in the days following December 28th, 2012. 


+ Show Interview Log SCP-2971-INT1 


Interviewed: , one of the first 
discovered subjects affected by SCP-2971. 


Interviewer: Dr. 


Foreword: has shown an abnormal 
interest in this concert she says she attended 
(as the initial reports suggested she might), 
and claims to remember it in great detail. She 
has proven willing to co-operate, however she 


has been difficult to talk to due to her 
continually steering the converstation towards 
something related to Jerry Lee Lewis. 


<Begin Log.> 


Dr. : Good evening, Ms. 


: Hello. 
Dr. |: Whatcan you tell me about December 
28th, 2012? 


: Oh boy, what can't | tell you? It was 
great. | took my kids to see Jerry Lee Lewis 
live that day! We stayed there for hours... after 
the show we got autographs and bought a few 
CDs... they loved it! In fact, we... 


Dr. —_: [/nterrupting] Uh, Ms. , do you 
recall anything out of place about the event? 
Anything at all? 


: No, nothing crazy. It was a 
perfectly normal event. 


Dr. :So there's nothing odd that occured? 


: No, like | told you, it was a perfectly 
normal Jerry Lee Lewis concert. Think about it, 
| don't know what you want me to say. The 
only thing that was new was when Jerry did a 
song called 'Rock and Roll Sacrifice’. That 
really got the crowd roaring! Everybody stood 
up when he did it. It was great! 


SCP-2971-A did not happen. Searches 
through the Lewis discography have 
shown no song named ‘Rock and Roll 
Sacrifice’ exists. No associate of Lewis' 
named 'Cliff Bogg' is known to exist. 


relationships. SCP-356-A will also describe what it considers to be 
the mental state of SCP-356, and will sometimes state what it claims 
SCP-356 is thinking about!. SCP-356-A has demonstrated a 
tendency to gravitate to subjects that SCP-356 finds uncomfortable 
or distressing.
