Given the multiple new anomalous properties of Al-55829, | 
recommend that it be reclassified as an SCP-class Item, 
provisional Object Class: Safe. Until such time as this 
request can be processed, Al-55829 has been placed in 
Medium-Security storage pending input from the 
Containment Department. 


Jane Walsh, Director of Department of Anomalous 


Items, Site 78 


Item #: SCP-7361 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7361 is kept ina 
Medium-Security containment locker at Site 54. Access to 
SCP-7361 is restricted to Level 2/7361 personnel only. 
Research and testing is to be restricted to trusted personnel 
only, and D-class personnel are not to be used for testing (see 
Addendum 1). 


Description: SCP-7361 is a deck of cards which changes its 
number and type of cards to be able to play any type of card 
game desired by its holder. It will retain its current form until 
used in another game. All deck types and variations are non- 
anomalous, with the exception of tarot cards, specifically while 
being used for divination purposes. 


When used to perform tarot card divinations, SCP-7361 
produces a number of non-standard cards, which typically are 
highly specific to the person for whom the divination is being 
performed. Additionally, there are 3 known divination card 
spreads1 which activate a further effect of SCP-7361. 


When used to perform one of the identified divination spreads, a 
spatial anomaly forms above the placed cards. The anomaly 
can only be accessed by the person for whom the divination 
was performed, and consists of an entrance to a topologically- 
inconsistent location. This location contains a multitude of 
objects, creatures, and structures which are highly symbolic 
representations of the test subject's mental state and current 
psychosocial situation. Test subjects report that they are unable 
to locate an exit from this location until they have confronted and 
overcome at least one obstacle representative of a situation in 
their personal life. These obstacles present a highly variable 
degree of difficulty, however, and can consist of anything from 


using a key to unlock and open a door to slaying a monstrous 
creature. 


Any injuries or physical changes which the test subject incurs 
while within the anomalous location are reverted upon exiting 
the location, although psychological changes may persist. 


Addendum 1: On 2014-12-23, D-1584 (a self-described "new 
age shaman" familiar with tarot card divination styles) used 
SCP-7361 to create a typical entrance for D-1945, who was 
equipped with standard recording equipment. The entrance 
closed after 45 minutes without D-1945 exiting it. On 
2015-02-14, D-1945 was recovered from custody of the New 
York City Police Department following an unsuccessful robbery 
of a bodega. During interrogation by Foundation assets, D-1945 
reported no significantly unusual aspects of the location 
accessed by SCP-7361, but that when he exited, he emerged in 
an alleyway near his childhood home in Brooklyn, New York. 
This occurrence has yet to be replicated by Foundation 
personnel.

of Life" 


The Reassembled One 


Qabil 


The Reassembled One, Master of the Church of the 
Broken God, Son of MEKHANE,! KTE-7317-Ford 
Black 


Conspectus 


Revered as the Son of MEKHANE, Qabil was an 
important figure during the War of the Flesh? in 
the late Bronze Age. Although he died in battle 
once, he was later reassembled as a divine 
miracle of MEKHANE. Reassembled and 
augmented, Qabil was tasked to reassemble 
MEKHANE and triumph over the Flesh. 


Since the end of the Bronze Age, Qabil secluded 
himself from the world. In recent times, he is 
awakened to a world that has forgotten 
MEKHANE. Despite that, Qabil seeks to 
complete his mission and prepare for the Day of 
Reassembly.3 To that end, alongside the 
thirteen-member Apostle Overwatch, they 
founded the latest incarnation of the Devout: The 
Church of the Broken God.4 


Knowledge 


Traits: Qabil's appearance is that of a male 
human in his earlier thirties, standing at about 
1.8 m tall and weighing about 80 kg. His limbs 
and spinal cord are replaced with bronze 
implants, grafted onto him during his 
reassembly. Engraved onto his forehead is the 
Design, a Piece of MEKHANE which contains an 
outline of MEKHANE's completed Form. 


Qabil has received an augmentation from 
MEKHANE that reflects any attacks directed 
towards him against his attacker, safeguarding 
him against the many agencies of the Flesh. In 
addition, Qabil gains pyrokinetic ability that 
allows him to manifest fire around him. 


Qabil also possesses a photographic memory, 
storing all canon knowledge regarding 
MEKHANE and the Flesh. He is regarded 
among the Devout as a source of knowledge 
and is the author of the Devout's Holy Writs. 


Nature: Qabil is known for his introverted 
disposition. He shuns the company of his fellows 
despite his influential role amongst the Devout, 
so management of everyday operations is left to 
the Apostle Overwatch. His only true priority is to 
reassemble MEKHANE, often relying on the 
Devout to retrieve His Pieces. Thus, he devotes 
all his time to reassemble MEKHANE. 


History & Associated Parties: According to the 
Book of Designs, Qabil was the firstborn child to 
Hawwa, who was impregnated by lightning.° In 
his youth, Qabil was initiated into the cult of 
MEKHANE. Skilled in blacksmithing, he grew to 
become a talented metalsmith. 


During the War of the Flesh, Qabil was among 
the many defenders to rally against the Flesh. 
Famously, he fought a duel with his half-brother, 


Habil the Betrayer.6 Although the duel ended in 
Habil's death, Qabil was mortally wounded and 
he too died not long after. 


Many mourned and wept at the passing of Qabil, 
but MEKHANE performed His miracle on the 
remnants of Qabil. The sky was cast in His tears 
and lightning struck upon Qabil's Broken body. 
Branded with His Design, Qabil was made 
Whole and arose. At the sight of the 
reassembled Qabil praising MEKHANE, he 
would be hailed as The Reassembled One. After 
that battle, Qabil was renowned as the founder 
of many cities, as described in Bronze 15:5-7./ 


At the end of the Bronze Age, Qabil secluded 
himself to recover from injuries and fell into deep 
slumber. He was awakened in the 20th century, 
where he roamed the land in search of modern 
successors to the Devout... only to find none 
initially. He took it upon himself to gather new 
followers to reassemble the Broken God, 
eventually founding the Church of the Broken 
God. 


Currently, Qabil leads this new incarnation of the 
Devout, and utilises the Design and his many 
followers to locate and secure the Pieces of 
MEKHANE. Under Qabil's leadership, the 
Devout strengthens day by day8 and prepares 
for the Day of Reassembly. 


Approach: Due to multiple attempts of 
assassination by the Bookburners, Qabil is 
currently secured in the Seventeenth Forge, and 
protected by the Devout. High levels of security 
have deterred attempts to intrude the 
Seventeenth Forge, protecting Qabil from 
enemies and ensuring no hindrance to his 
mission. 


Due to Qabil's presence and mission, only Class 
4 and above members of the Devout are allowed 
entry to the Seventeenth Forge. If any other 
individual wishes to seek an audience with 
Qabil, they must obtain approval from a member 
of the Apostle Overwatch. 


While these measures appear to be a reaction 
against Qabil's enemies, he is essentially under 
house arrest. We do not know if that is truly 
Qabil's wishes or the Apostle Overwatch's. ~ 
L.S. 


Observations & Stories 


Within the canon of the Devout, Qabil is the 
central figure in the Gospel of Hephaestus. 
Members of the Devout universally revere Qabil 
as a saviour, believed to be key to the 
reassembly of MEKHANE. It is believed by the 
Devout that they will be rewarded for the 
reassembly of MEKHANE on the Day of 
Reassembly, and become united with Him.9 


The Threat Entity Database of the Bookburners 
consider Qabil and the Devout as a Severe 
Threat, probably due to their influence on many 
devotees worldwide and the Bookburners' fear 
that they be judged for their many crimes in the 
world to come. In addition, it is treated as a 
Demi-divinity, perhaps in acknowledgement to 
Qabil's divine origins. Even so, it appears that 
the Bookburners have the boldness to dare 
challenge those that they know are righteously 
on the side of (the Broken) God.10 


The Testimonial of Maxwell is highly critical of 
Qabil, condemning him of limiting WAN"! as a 


SCP-698: Judgmental Turtle 


Item #: SCP-698 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: When not in use, SCP-698 is to 
be stored in its original packaging. This packaging is to be keptina 
secure box in Storage Unit-05. Further containment procedures are 
not necessary under non-testing conditions. The item itself is safe to 
handle during transport or testing, though a soundproof safety box is 
available upon request. 


Description: SCP-698 is a jade carving of a turtle. Any person who 
is within 1 m 45 cm of SCP-698 while making any sort of decision or 
choice will experience a voice in their head telling them that they 
have made a mistake and what they should have done instead. 
However, this statement will only be made after a delay of 5 minutes 
25 seconds, and only if they have not left SCP-698's range within 
that time. In the event that a decision or choice was objectively 
correct, or the superior choice, no statement will be made. 


SCP-698 was purchased by Researcher on June 14, 20 , from 
a street vendor in , Japan. Researcher had been intending 
to give it to his girlfriend; however, 5 minutes 25 seconds after 
purchase, the turtle informed him that his girlfriend would have 
preferred a jade elephant. Researcher then surrendered the 
turtle to Foundation custody. After preliminary testing, SCP-698 was 
tentatively given "Safe" classification, at which point it asserted that 
it is in fact Euclid-class (see Test 11). 


Addendum: 
5/10 : Test Log 
Note: all experiments take place within range of SCP-698. 


Test 1 
Test Subject: D-698-1 


physical entity. Maxwell writes Qabil as a 
deceiver whose possession of the Design is 
false and illogical. He reasons that WAN's 
Reassembly cannot rest upon the shoulders of 
one entity, when it should rest on all followers 
and believers of WAN. 


The Revised Record of Theological History 
takes note of the etymological similarities 
between Qabil and the Arabic translation for 
‘Cain’, and repudiates the Devout's stance that 
the supposed first murder is divinely justified. 12 
Instead, the Revised Record holds that the 
Devout are a death cult glorifying murder and 
manslaughter, centred on the worship of the 
Biblical Cain and the disembodied corpse of 
Abel that he slain and misappropriated as an 
object of worship.13 This claim is bolstered by 
the Devout's use of violence to resolve conflicts 
such as the Scrapping of the Maxwellists!4 or 
Moscow Standardisation Crisis.15 


Doubt 


It is speculated that Qabil himself had warped 
the Devout to suit his interests, whatever it may 
be. Proponents of this allegation highlight Qabil's 
authorship of the Holy Writs, along with Broken 
God dogma positioning him as a messianic 
figure and a component of MEKHANE. 


Another speculation among Hand members is 
that the Apostle Overwatch had imprisoned 
Qabil. Since relocation to the Seventeenth 
Forge, Qabil has not made a public appearance 
and security prevented outsiders from entering 
the Seventeenth Forge. Qabil's current status 


cannot be confirmed, though the Devout 
consistently stress that Qabil is working to 
rebuild MEKHANE and call for followers to send 
in any relic that could be a Piece of MEKHANE. 


Intentions do not matter, what matters to all of us 
here is that the masquerade imposed by the 
Bookburners will be broken once MEKHANE is 
reassembled. Let the Devout rebuild MEKHANE, 
as they should. ~ C.O.G. 


| beg to differ. The broken masquerade is 
meaningless if it only creates a prison in its 
place. The Devout appears to be hoarding all the 
world's mysteries to achieve their objectives, 
which contradicts the principles in which we 
stand for. Is the Broken God truly worth the 
price? ~L.S. 


Hey, no one really mentioned it here... But don't 
anyone think that the Devout's actions here are 
Jailor-ish? And speaking of the Jailors, where 
are they in all this? ~ V.1VI 


| come from a world where the Jailors don't 
exist. My roommate's alternate universe 
counterparts are consistently Jailors, but not in 
my universe's case. ~ A.C. 


V. |. VI, are you accusing the Devout of being 
Jailors? Perhaps you think of their actions to be 
akin to imprisonment, but they live among many 
foes such as the Bookburners. The Pieces are 
one-of-a-kind, and the destruction of any would 
cost the Devout's mission dearly. Securing and 
protecting the Pieces are of grave importance. ~ 
C.0.G. 


Conspiracy theorist much. Hate to spell it out for 
the smart ones browsing by, but there are 
similarities. And C.O.G., you are just a word 


beginning with the letter "C" away from the 
Jailor's famous motto. Let me see... secure the 
Pieces, contain them in the Forges, protect them 
from Bookburners. How about that? ~ L.S. 


Everyone, let us not start accusing one another 
to be closet Jailors, Bookburners or Madmen. 
Disunity will break us apart, as per the Parable 
of the Three Arrows. We have enough of this 
nonsense since Sigma-3.— Jaya M. 


1. While "Broken God" and "MEKHANE" refer to the 
same entity, "MEKHANE" is used by members of the 
Devout and in written papers. "Broken God" is a 
colloquialism coined by outsiders of the faith. 

2. While historic sources had cited the invaders as "Sea 
People", that may be a misnomer derived from records of 
early battles that took place in port cities. 

3. The Day of Reassembly is believed to be the day 
where MEKHANE is reassembled to His glory and the 
Flesh is permanently destroyed. 

4. The term "Church of the Broken God" was originally 
coined by news media, which ultimately became the 
Official title for the organisation. 

5. Excerpt from theBook of DesignsChapter 8:16. And 
the craftsman Cedalion explained: "Do not be afraid for 
what is conceived in you is from MEKHANE, who is 
Broken." 17. "And you shall give birth to His Son and he 
shall make MEKHANE Whole." 

6. Unlike Qabil, Habil the Betrayer is not born from 
MEKHANE. 

7. Excerpt from theBook of BronzeChapter 15:5. And the 
formerly great forests and all its greenery burnt unto 
ashes and dust. 6. And gave way to the flames evoked 
through His Son Qabil. 7. And once these formerly great 
forests no longer obstruct His Son, Qabil built for the 
righteous a sanctuary to safeguard the righteous from the 
horrors of the Flesh. 

8. Excerpt fromThe New York Times, dated 20 August 


1991: From Soviet to Standardised, World's First Broken 
God state. 

9. Excerpt from theBook of ReassemblyChapter 53:14. 
"And all faithful followers of MEKHANE shall be regarded 
as His Sons and Daughters, and be in communion with 
Him." 

10.Such is the hypocrisy of the Bookburners, for these 
mortals acknowledge the existence of superior beings 
and yet delude themselves that they can nullify said 
superior beings. Laughable.~ 7’1X 

11. A term used by members of the Maxwellist heresy, 
typically referring to MEKHANE. However, the Devout 
dispute the term and do not acknowledge the term 'WAN' 
as an acceptable referent to MEKHANE. 

12. In the Devout's canon, Qabil's slaying of Habil is not 
regarded as the "first murder". TheRevised Record of 
Theological Historyinsists that the Devout deems it as 
such.
