The development of Protocol 1746-Aleph originated after an 
instance of SCP-1746 formed in Texas on May _, 1966 but suddenly 
dissipated. Foundation climatologists who had been studying 
SCP-1746 before that time had hypothesized that it may be possible 
to disrupt an instance of SCP-1746 by generating appropriate 
atmospheric and electromagnetic stimulus; the dissipation of that 
instance appeared to confirm the hypothesis and pose the question 
of how the stimuli had, in this case, been serendipitously produced. 
Fortunately, a television news crew that had been filming for stock 
footage purposes inthe town of (within the projected path of the 
SCP-1746 instance) had recorded a sequence of events which 
Foundation climatologists, statisticians and mathematicians were 
able to verify as producing the required stimulus. The Foundation 
was subsequently able to develop Protocol 1746-Aleph by studying 
the film and reproducing the necessary series of events to generate 
the stimuli. Protocol 1746-Aleph, therefore, represents a deliberate 
effort to produce the disruptive stimulus by artificially and accurately 
re-creating the precise sequence of events that generated the 
stimulus in 19661. 


+ Special Staffing Note 


All members of MTF 1746-Aleph-AC were posthumously 
awarded the Foundation Star after the loss of the entire 
team resulting from a protocol defect during a 
containment effort in August 2011.2 In view of the age of 
MTF 1746-Aleph-AC's Actor F3 at the time of her loss 
(she is the youngest Foundation Star recipient to date), 
Dr. Garcia has recommended that MTF 1746-Aleph 
teams be henceforth staffed with appropriately-sized, but 
adult, candidates. This suggestion has been forwarded 
to O5 for consideration.

SCP-1747: Going, Going, Gone 


Item #: SCP-1747 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As of / / SCP-1747-1 is to 
be secured within a standard Site-77 storage locker requiring a 
Level 3 security clearance to unlock. Site-876 has been built 
surrounding SCP-1747-2, requiring Level 3 security clearance to 
access the area. In addition to Site-876's standardized security 
procedures, no fewer than two armed guards are to be present at all 
times to prevent unauthorized entry. No personnel are to attempt to 
make contact with SCP-1747-2 at any time during its manifestation 
period. 


Description: SCP-1747 is the collective designation of anomalous 
items recovered from the "Hugo Edwards Memorial Cemetery" 
located in [REDACTED], England. 


SCP-1747-1 is a square shovel that is 1.5 meters in length from 
blade to handle. The blade is composed of iron, measuring 0.5 
meters by 0.325 meters, and yields noticeable signs of oxidation. 
The handle is mainly composed of unvarnished maple wood and 
measures 1.0 meters in length. Large portions of the blade have 
been rusted over. A more precise observation unveils that the wood 
has been engraved with the initials H.E. multiple times along its 
dimensions. 


If SCP-1747-1 is used on any surface normally penetrable by a non- 
anomalous shovel, the blade will be obstructed by a solid object. If 
the area is excavated further with the usage of earth-moving 
apparatus, human remains will be found directly below the shovel's 
point of entry regardless of what was beneath the surface prior to 
digging or what material is being excavated. Origin of said remains 
and how they are placed is currently unknown and under 
investigation. 


SCP-1747-2 is a corporeal humanoid entity that manifests within the 
graveyard for approx. 40 minutes at 9:00 pm every night. In physical 
appearance, SCP-1747-2 resembles a female in her late twenties. 
During this active state, SCP-1747-2 will attempt to use SCP-1747-1 
to dig up the graves of Scarlet and Amelia Edwards!. When 
SCP-1747-2 encounters a human carcass during excavation of the 
grave, it will immediately remove the body, and continue digging. At 
no point has SCP-1747-2 reached the bodies of Scarlet and Amelia 
Edwards due to SCP-1747-1's anomalous properties; investigation 
into the history of this entity is currently ongoing. 


Addendum: Event log of Incident-1747-Theta, taking place on the / 
/ during SCP-1747-2's manifestation period. 


Forward: The following log is a composite account of 
eyewitness reports and video feeds taken from 
personnel stationed in Site-876's surveillance outpost. 


<Begin Log> 


21.04 SCP-1747-2 manifested within the cemetery and 
began its usual routine of excavating the graves of 
Scarlet and Amelia Edwards. 


21.16 SCP-1747-2 stopped digging into the graves and 
threw away the shovel, appearing to be in emotional 
distress. 


21.18 Various screams could be heard emanating from 
SCP-1747-2, audio recordings revealed the words: 
"Hugo", "Please" and "I want to see my children" being 
repeated by the entity. The sounds were only captured 
on EVP recordings and were not audible to observers. 


21.19 The entity knelt in front of the two graves and 
appeared to kiss each tombstone before walking away 
from the excavated graves. 


21.20 SCP-1747-2 entered an abandoned tool-shed and 
discontinued digging for the remainder of the night. 


Closing Statement: At the time of this documentation, 
SCP-1747-2 has not manifested in over four months. It is 
presumed that SCP-1747-2 will not manifest further. 
SCP-1747 will be monitored pending re-classification to 
Safe.

SCP-1748: The Dragon's Legacy 


Item #: SCP-1748 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1748 is currently 
contained at Site-117. The sector assigned to SCP-1748 must be 
operated by individuals without any form of hearing impairment (this 
extends to D-Class personnel). 


SCP-1748-1 is housed in a 4m x 2m x 4m primary concrete 
chamber, which is suspended by carbon fiber supports in a 
secondary 8m x 4m x 8m concrete chamber. The secondary 
chamber is soundproofed to a degree corresponding with the current 
intensity of SCP-1748's emission. A series of acoustic channels 
connect the primary chamber to the tertiary chamber, and are 
equipped with valves to occlude the noise as necessary. It is 
important that the SCP-1748-A remain audible to subjects in the 
tertiary chamber, whilst not reaching a relevant intensity capable of 
inflicting harm or deafness in said subjects. 


The tertiary chamber is adjacent to the secondary chamber, and 
shall remain populated with an appropriate amount of D-Class 
personnel (currently 20). Said personnel are forbidden from 
speaking, and must be rotated out every 16 hours for sleep 
requirements. The walls of the chamber (barring the wall facing the 
secondary chamber) are soundproofed to prevent noise pollution. 
No less than twenty (20) individuals must remain in the tertiary 
chamber at all times. At least forty (40) additional D-Class personnel 
are to remain onsite for containment rotation. Should the intensity of 
SCP-1748's emission increase, the sound is to be broadcast to all 
personnel within Site-117 at large, and all available D-Class 
personnel are to report to the tertiary chamber immediately. 


Should all onsite personnel be insufficient to prevent the emission's 
increase, the Apollo Contingencies will be enacted. 


Description: SCP-1748 is a phenomenon manifesting as a looped 
audio recording of the "Winter Road" segment of Georgy Sviridov's 
Snow Storm. The locus for this manifestation is always a device 
designed for containing audio recordings, including vinyl records, 
audio cassettes, and compact discs, though MP3 players, USB 
drives, computers, and game consoles do not appear to be viable 
objects. Whether or not said object is currently containing an audio 
recording(s) of any kind is irrelevant. It is unclear what mechanism 
produces sound from this object. This locus is hereafter referred to 
as SCP-1748-1. 


Should an insufficient number of human beings be present to 
audibly witness! the loudest section of SCP-1748 (designated 
SCP-1748-A and located at 1:56-1:59 during playback), SCP-1748 
will increase in intensity during the following playback. What 
determines the number of required individuals is entirely unclear, 
though this number increases exponentially as the intensity of 
SCP-1748 increases. Based on previously recorded data, it is 
believed that an intensity of . dB will exceed the current estimated 
populace of Earth, at which point halting the growth would be 
impossible. SCP-1748 has not been observed to reduce in intensity 
under any circumstances. 


At the time of this writing, SCP-1748-A possesses an intensity of 
41.210B. 


SCP-1748-1 appears to be immune to damage from sonic vibrations 
produced by SCP-1748. Should SCP-1748-1 be destroyed, 
SCP-1748 will transfer to the nearest suitable object. No maximum 
range for this occurrence has yet been discovered. 


SCP-1748 was initially discoveredin _, Russia. The Aaron Morgan 
Orchestra ("AMO", originating in London, England) was hired by 

, a wealthy industrialist linked to the activities of "3men,"2 
an occultist organization believed to be responsible for deaths in 
eastern Russia. AMO was commissioned to perform "Winter Road" 


on / /20 at 's private estate. According to eyewitness 
testimony from a detained 3menv member, at the conclusion of the 
performance, , his servants, several other 3mev members and 


several individuals from a group the witness could not identify gave 
AMO a standing ovation. During this, a number of 3men members 


proceeded to enter the stage from the rear and murdered the 
musicians. In the aftermath, the performers were [DATA 
EXPUNGED] were used to construct several crude designs in at 
least one unidentified language on [DATA EXPUNGED] prior to the 
vinyl disc used for the recording being saturated inside said mass, 
which did not damage the object for an as-of-yet unverified reason. 


After the disc was removed from the mass, an 3men member 
delivered it to , who then gave some form of hand gesture. 
Several individuals entered the concert hall and murdered the 3men 
members with automatic rifles. The eyewitness fled the chamber 
during this incident, and was picked up 15 days later by a 
Foundation asset in 


Thanks to the intelligence provided by said member, a Foundation 
raid by Mobile Task Force Nu-15 "The White Wolves" on 's 
estate was organized on / /20 . was killed during the 
incident, and the disc (later designated the first instance of 
SCP-1748-1) was recovered. A servant previously unaccounted for 
then fired upon MTF N-15, injuring one member and destroying 
SCP-1748-1. The servant was killed in the fight. SCP-1748 
immediately transferred to another vinyl disc containing 
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, which was recovered. A letter 
addressed to and dated 5 days previously was also retrieved: 


To ; 


Working with those troglodytes was certainly distasteful, 
but the result was most satisfying and invigorating. Be 
proud of the monumental piece you have created, its 
power and majesty knows only how to grow. Within that 
disc is the sublime itself. We hope this letter finds you 
well, and that you feel that power and majesty occupy 
your entire being. 


We hope you are also looking forward to Phase 2. 
[REDACTED] 


Addendum [1748-001]: Observation Log 
Several low intensity sounds inconsistent with the accompanying 


music have been detected from SCP-1748's emissions: 
On / /20 at5:47 AM 


| can hear them. No, don't play, | can hear them. 
Heartbeats. They're coming for us. We can finally 
(Indecipherable) out (Indecipherable). 


On / /20 at 7:28 AM 


They must be able to hear us. We can hear 
(Indecipherable) Please, we have to (Indecipherable) 
now. 


On / /20 at 8:39 PM (note: this recording occurred during an 
emission increase) 


No! Don't leave! Keep playing, we need them to hear us! 
Help! (Indecipherable). 


No further abnormalities have been reported. 
Addendum [1748-002]: Apollo Contingencies 


Contingency Apollo-A: The sound of SCP-1748 shall 
be broadcast to all available Foundation sites, areas, and 
sectors wherein said broadcast does not disrupt existing 
containment procedures for other objects. Should 
Contingency Apollo-A be unsuccessful, Contingency 
Apollo-B must be enacted. 


Contingency Apollo-B: SCP-1748-1 is to be 
electromagnetically suspended in a Gears Perfect 
Vacuum Chamber (GPVC), where it shall be contained 
indefinitely. Ten (10) additional objects capable of 
serving as SCP-1748-1 shall be contained in an identical 
manner in facilities adjacent to the main chamber. 
Absolutely no other items capable of becoming 
SCP-1748-1 shall be allowed within 1km of the 
containment chamber. 


It should be noted that, while SCP-1748 cannot 


propagate through a perfect vacuum, previous 
observations have confirmed that it is still produced, and 
continues to grow in intensity without observers to 
witness SCP-1748-A. Given the implications of this 
evidence, Contingency Apollo-B must be considered a 
last resort, as any containment failure following its 
implementation, no matter how slight or brief, is likely to 
result in an XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario.

1. Live audio transmissions of SCP-1748 appear to be sufficient, 
though this method is not to be relied upon for general containment 
due to the risk of malfunction.

SCP-1749: Trans-American Murder Messengers 


Item #: SCP-1749 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1749-1 is contained in the 
Safe/Anomalous Items Wing of Site-11. No testing of SCP-1749 has 
been scheduled to date. Any recovered specimens of SCP-1749-2 
are to be contained in standard humanoid containment cells in 
Site-28. Access to specimens of SCP-1749-2 requires written 
permission from Site-28's director (Currently Dr. _) or any member 
of the O5 council. 


Description: SCP-1749-1 is an ornately-painted control pad 
consisting of an analog screen and a standard QWERTY keyboard. 
When a message is typed onto the screen of SCP-1749-1 and the 
"send" button is pressed, specimens of SCP-1749-2 are created in 
locations around the continental United States. 


SCP-1749-2 are genetically identical humanoids. Every recorded 
instance of SCP-1749-2 to date has been a Caucasian male, 
between 24 and 36 years of age and approximately 2 meters tall. All 
specimens of SCP-1749-2 answer to the name , though no 
individuals with that name matching their description have been 
found in any birth records. 


Upon the activation and input of a message into SCP-1749-1, 
numerous instances of SCP-1749-2 will materialize in populated 
locations around the continental United States. No more than one 
instance has been observed in any single location. Upon 
materialization, each instance of SCP-1749-2 carries with them the 
following items: 


* One (1) brand black business suit. 
* One (1) brand pair of black dress shoes, size 46. 
* One (1) brand silver wristwatch. 


* One (1) handgun, containing a fully loaded magazine. 
Markings on the handgun match no known manufacturer. 
* One (1) pill containing 2ml of potassium cyanide.
