The most common forms of offensive transmutation used by 
SCP-2845 are a column measuring five to seven meters in diameter 
and sixty to eighty meters in height, or a horizontal cone measuring 
between one hundred and one hundred and fifty meters in length 
and ten to thirty meters in width at the furthest end. However, 
SCP-2845 has been observed to attack single targets at distances 
of up to 10 kilometers. Early observation of SCP-2845 during 
recovery indicated that it will generally ignore non-combatants, 
focusing on retaliation against attackers. However, SCP-2845 was 
not seen to make any attempts to spare non-combatants within the 
area of effect of its transmutations, and later recovery accounts 
indicate pre-emptive attacks against both military and civilian 
targets. 


SCP-2845-1 designates human beings that have been modified by 
SCP-2845. Instances of SCP-2845-1 are hexagonal columns 
measuring 2.4 meters in height, with rubbery yellow-green skin. 
SCP-2845-1 instances do not have any outward sense organs, and 
autopsy has shown that internal organs are likewise absent, save 
the brain, which now takes up the entirety of the column and 
contains the reconstituted mass of the other organs and some 
additional outside materials. It is unknown how SCP-2845-1 
instances derive nutrients, or if any nutrition is required. 


Neuroimaging of SCP-2845-1 specimens has revealed that the brain 
is in a constant state of high activity. Analysis of multiple specimens 
indicates patterns of call and response, so some form of remote 
communication between SCP-2845-1 specimens is presumed. 


Motile variants of SCP-2845-1 have been reported, but have evaded 
capture and study.

Note from Dr. : Just some "points of interest" here. 


¢ Disks one through twelve apparently contain all of the 
pornography on the internet. With all that there is, | can see 
why whoever made these got the porn out of the way first. 

¢ Disks 85, 86 and 101 contain image-hosting sites such as 
Imageshack and Photobucket. Myspace is also on Disk 85. 

¢ Disk 30 seems to contain the Google home page and nothing 

else. The rest of Google's website seems to be scattered all 

over the place. I've only found a few parts. 

Disk 119 has emoticons. Millions and millions of emoticons. 

Forums, instant messengers, and from other places. 

After looking long and hard, | have found that [REDACTED] 

can be found on Disk 76. | find it very disturbing that this disk 

has the same name as SCP-076.

SCP-2846: The Squid and the Sailor 


Item #: SCP-2846 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force 
Tau-11 "Can Openers" onboard the SCPS Pristine SCPS 
Nikolai are to maintain a perimeter around active SCP-2846 
activation areas. In the event of an SCP-2846-A appearance event, 
MTF T-11 is to utilize the Kensington-Berryman high-power 
transmitting device to communicate with SCP-2846-B, and then to 
maintain contact with SCP-2846-B throughout the engagement. 


MTF T-11's primary goal is to minimize civilian contact with 
SCP-2846-A and SCP-2846-B. Sailing vessels which come in 
contact with either entity are to be arrested and moved away from 
the area by SCPS Pristine SCPS Nikolai support vessels. MTF T-11 
personnel are required to apply Class-C amnestics to any personnel 
aboard any affected vessels, regardless of their knowledge of 
SCP-2846-A and -B. 


The acting captain of SCPS Pristine SCPS Nikolai has been 
supplied full clearance to open fire on SCP-2846-A at the request of 
SCP-2846-B, and also to prevent SCP-2846-A from approaching 
any civilian vessels. Additionally, in the event of hostile action by 
SCP-2846-B on any civilian or Foundation vessel, the tactical 
nuclear explosive device is to be detonated. 


Description: SCP-2846 collectively refers to a set of phenomenon 
occurring within the Gulf-Atlantic region of the Atlantic Ocean. 


SCP-2846-A is a massive, aquatic, octopoid entity’, currently 
estimated to be at least 955-990m in length. This entity is known to 
appear from deep water during storms within the Gulf-Atlantic region 
and attack civilian vessels, specifically cruise liners or merchant 
ships. 


SCP-2846-A attacks are sporadic, and often occur quickly and 
without prior warning. Foundation assets in the Gulf-Atlantic region 
have utilized United States Navy deep-sea radar wells to more 
accurately detect the appearance of SCP-2846-A, though this has 
only provided, on average, an additional 5 minutes of preparation. 


SCP-2846-B is a large seafaring vessel that appears during 
SCP-2846-A appearance events. This vessel, which appears to be a 
Pennsylvania-Class super-dreadnought battleship, also appears 
from deep water before surfacing at the location of an SCP-2846-A 
appearance event. This vessel is always seen engaging SCP-2846- 
A, which will then in turn retaliate, and neither entity will disappear 
until SCP-2846-A is sufficiently crippled or otherwise incapacitated, 
after which both will submerge again until the next appearance 
event. The vessel appears hazy in video or photographs, and 
individuals have described it as "vaporous". Notably, propellant fire 
emitted by the onboard armaments of SCP-2846-B have a 
significant green tint. 


Individual entities that appear as the crew of SCP-2846-B are 
designated SCP-2846-B1-915. 


Addendum 2846.1: Historical Documentation 


SCP-2846-A is believed to be an entity that has existed for 
potentially many thousands of years, although information 
confirming this is scarce. The first recorded sighting of a creature 
matching the description of SCP-2846-A is from the Old Icelandic 
saga Orvar-Oddr, wherein the author details a depiction of a large 
sea creature referred to as the hafgufa: 


[Translated to English] Now | will tell you that there are 
two sea-monsters. One is called the hafgufa (sea-mist), 
another lyngbakr (heather-back). It (the lyngbakr) is the 
largest whale in the world, but the hafgufa is the hugest 
monster in the sea. It is the nature of this creature to 
swallow men and ships, and even whales and everything 
else within reach. 


The first recorded appearance of SCP-2846-A by a Foundation 
personnel was in 1905, when then Admiral Reginald Von Allen 


wrote: 


| have seen on this day a most magnificent sight; a 
creature, larger than our own vessel by three times, 
rising from the depths of the sea with a whale wrapped 
within its long tentacles... behind it came another vessel, 
a ship-of-the-line with black flags and billowing smoke in 
its wake. We signalled the crew, but the vessel had 
returned to beneath the waves before we could properly 
communicate 


Addendum 2846.2: Interview with SCP-2846-B1 
+ Access File 


On 05/07/1935, SCP-2846-B surfaced without warning 
near the position of the SCPS Hildegard and hailed 
them. The ships were brought near, and SCP-2846-B1 
came onto the deck of the Hildegard and spoke with 
Captain Levi Hanson. That conversation was recorded 
by atranscriber, and appears below. 


Interview Log 
Date: 05/07/1935 


Interviewer: SCPS Hildegard Captain Levi 
Hanson 


Interviewee: SCP-2846-B1 
[BEGIN LOG] 


Cpt. Hanson: Alright, | need your name for the 
log first, if that's ok. 


SCP-2846-B1: Of course. David Thomas 
Jones, of Her Majesty's Royal Navy. 


Cpt. Hanson: And you're aware of your...? 


SCP-2846-B1: Aye, we've had plenty of time 


to think on that. 


Cpt. Hanson: Fair enough. What brings you 
aboard here? 


SCP-2846-B1: | suppose | should explain a 
few things briefly, if you don't mind. The story 
is long, but I'll try to be concise. 


Cpt. Hanson: Go ahead. 


SCP-2846-B1: Myself and my ship were 
commissioned by the Queen to pursue and kill 
a creature that had appeared in the American 
gulf and was attacking merchant ships 
returning to England. This was, at the time, the 
extent of my knowledge about the target. We 
set sail for Havana in 1685, and arrived there 
in the fall. We spent the better part of the 
season hunting the creature, which at that 
point we believed to be some kind of whale, 
before we finally engaged the creature. 


Cpt. Hanson: You're referring to the 
SCP-2846-A entity? 


SCP-2846-B1: The squid, aye. We were 
poorly prepared for the creature. The 
Dutchman was armed with eighty-five guns, 
twenty harpoon cannons, a crew of nearly two- 
hundred fifty men, and we were still overtaken 
by the demon in a single night. By the hand of 
the monster, we were all pulled into the sea. 


Cpt. Hanson: How did you reach your current 
state? 


SCP-2846-B1: As we sank, | could feel my 

body grow cold and felt the frigid hands of the 
deep grasping out for me. I... cannot say how 
long it was, maybe an hour, a few minutes, a 


year, but | remember awakening on a dark 
shore. | thought at first that we had been 
washed ashore, but... my injuries had 
disappeared. 


SCP-2846-B1 pauses. 


SCP-2846-B1: | cannot say for how long | 
walked that dark shore. | knew from the tales 
that it was surely the locker of the deep, where 
the souls of sailors go when the sea does not 
release them. | must have walked for a 
thousand years, each day longer than the last, 
until one day | met a woman on the beach. 


Cpt. Hanson: Can you describe this woman? 


SCP-2846-B1: Aye. She was dark-skinned, 
and her dark hair fell down to the ground 
below us. | asked her name, and begged her 
for water. She told me her name was Calypso, 
and that she would quench my thirst. She went 
into the water then, and returned with a pail of 
freshwater. | have never drank so feverishly as 
| did then, and all the while, the goddess spoke 
to me. 


Cpt. Hanson: Goddess? 


SCP-2846-B1: Aye. Calypso told me that she 
was the goddess of the sea, protector of its 
depths, mother of the waves. She told me that, 
in eons past, she and the god Neptune had 
gone into the deep of the ocean where the 
leviathans had made their domain, and 
banished them into the pit of Tartarus that their 
father, Uranus, had once crawled out from. 
She said that Neptune had disappeared, and 
that only she was left to watch the pit, and that 
over time, the seal they had placed on it began 
to weaken. 


SCP-2846-B1 pauses. 


SCP-2846-B1: She said that one titan had 
escaped long ago. lapetus was its name, and 
it had come forth in a great rage, taking the 
form of a most malevolent sea creature. This is 
the creature you call SCP-2846-A. 


Cpt. Hanson: | see. Go on. 


SCP-2846-B1: Calypso then told me that she 
feared that the titans who had escaped would 
return to Tartarus after gathering their 
strength, and attempt to pry loose the 
foundation of that place and free their siblings. 
"This cannot happen,” she said to me, "that 
these old gods would be loosed, it would mean 
the end of mankind." | asked her what debt 
she owed to men, and she said that the affairs 
of the gods and titans were never meant to 
intersect with those of men, but in their 
arrogance they build Tartarus on Earth, 
endangering the lives of every human on 
earth. 


SCP-2846-B1 pauses. 


SCP-2846-B1: She asked that | pursue 
lapetus, and that | keep the demon occupied 
while she appeals to the gods for aid. In 
exchange, she said, | would have immortality. | 
did not consider it then, | thought only of 
walking that dark shore, and so | agreed. The 
next | knew, | was back onboard the Flying 
Dutchman, with my crew with me. 


Cpt. Hanson: This is all very well, but that still 
does not answer why you hailed us today. 


SCP-2846-B1: | have hunted the beast for 
many long years, Captain. | have gone to the 


ends of the Earth, and beyond, to strange and 
twisted shores, in pursuit of the demon. But 
the great squid has only grown larger, more 
powerful, more bold. My men and | cannot die, 
but many more can, and will. If we do not act, 
lapetus will overpower us, and we will be lost. 
It has been a long time since | have spoken to 
Calypso, and have heard no word. Now, | must 
turn to you. 


Cpt. Hanson: What are you asking? 
SCP-2846-B1: Captain, | need a bigger boat. 
[END LOG] 

Addendum 2846.3: Coordinated Efforts with SCP-2846-B 


In the wake of the conversation between Captain Lyle Hanson and 
SCP-2846-B1, it was agreed that the Foundation would make 
allowance to commandeer a newly built Pennsylvania-class super- 
dreadnought battleship and turn the vessel over to SCP-2846-B1 
and its crew. To this end, the USS Atlanta was taken from US Navy 
control and all records of its production were expunged’. The vessel 
was sunk 15km from a Foundation naval facility in Cuba, and 
surfaced thirty hours later. SCP-2846-B is larger and more heavily 
armed than the Atlanta, but maintains indicating factors between the 
two. 


As part of the agreement between then Site-23 Director J. Calvin 
Coolidge and SCP-2846-B1, SCP-2846-B was fitted with a large 
incendiary device, capable of causing gross damage across the 
entire hull of SCP-2846-B. This has since been removed, and 
replaced with a tactical nuclear explosive device located within the 
engine bay of SCP-2846-B. This device was intended only as a 
deterrent against possible hostile action against civilian or 
Foundation vessels on the part of SCP-2846-B, but to date no such 
action has occurred.
