The ARBH-Class Event Scenario is ranked a low on its 
impendicity meter, meaning that there is a slim chance of 
an event happening. Although the Foundation may not 
know of all anomalous instances of insects, we can 
easily contain and/or misinform the public should any 
new instances arise. If push comes to shove with a 
subset of anomalous insects, specialized pesticides can 
be used to reduce the subset's population to allow for 
proper containment. Complete extermination of a 
species of anomalous insects is only reserved for an 
active ARBH-Class Event. Some notable SCPs that 
could initiate an ARBH-Class Event are: 


* SCP-456 
* SCP-820 
¢ SCP-851 
* SCP-3004 
* SCP-3035 
¢ SCP-3916 


Currently, the Foundation has adequate containment and 
documentation on these SCPs; emergency protocols are 
in place as well for a possible containment breach. 


ARBH and You (2): How to Abort It 


ABORTIVITY: HIGH 


The ARBH-Class Event Scenario is ranked a high on its 
abortivity meter, meaning that there must be an 
extremely large effort - not just by the Foundation, 
worldwide - to reduce or exterminate the number of 
anomalous instances responsible for the ARBH-Class 
Event. More than likely, the Foundation will be hampered 
by the physical/environmental damage caused by an 
ARBH-Class Event. Heavy usage of pesticides is the 
most probable way to end such an Event; other ways are 


estimated to be not enough to reduce the Event's 
severity. The last resort would be to use existing SCPs to 
combat an event, although the O5 Council would have to 
approve it, meaning the probability of a doomsday 
combat team is nearly null. 


Frequently Asked Questions! 


ee 


Q: Why is it called an ARBH-Class Event? 


A: It's named after the biblical 8th plague, the plague of 
locusts. ARBH is the phonetical translation of the 
Hebrew word for ‘locust’, 721N. 


——_ 


Q: How do | pronounce "ARBH-Class Event"? 


A: "ahr-BEH klas a'vent". Although you probably knew 
how to pronounce 'Class Event’. 


——$ 


Q: What is the difference between an XK-Class and an 
ARBH-Class Event? 


A: While an XK-Class Event is more relative to a SCP 
directly breaching containment and ending the world of 
its own accord, an ARBH-Class event is more relative to 
a breached instance replicating, then subsequently 
causing environmental and physical damage that ends 
society and the human race. 

If one anomalous insect ends the world, it's most likely a 
XK-Class Event - if it's a whole populace, it's most likely 
an ARBH-Class Event. 


Q: Could <insert SCP here> cause an ARBH-Class 
Event? 


A: If the SCP is an anomalous instance of a species of 
insect, could replicate to a massive scale, and cause 
enough damage to end the human race; then most likely 
yes, it could cause an ARBH-Class Event. 


SS in 


Q: Is <insert species here> under an ARBH-Class 
Event? 


A: There is no real solid answer for this, but if the 
Foundation containing anomalous instances of that 
species, and the species is related to the phylum 
Euarthropoda probably so. Site Directors will know for 
sure which subsets and species can be classified under 
an ARBH-Class Event. 


ee 


Q: When does the Foundation recognize we are in an 
ARBH-Class Event? 


A: The Foundation officially recognizes we are in an 
ARBH-Class Event Scenario under an executive O5 
Council order. The order is proposed to be based off of 
how much damage the anomalous insects cause.

Mr. Moon [for Dexanote] 


The Moon accepts with quiet grace 
Enduring despite some distress 


The shifting phases of his face

He copes with fate, nevertheless 
The shifting phases of his face 


A simple life he does embrace 
Persevering with finesse 
The Moon accepts with quiet grace

He is not worried to possess 
The shifting phases of his face 


He calmly lives at his own pace 

This man of lunar stateliness 

This Mister Moon accepts with grace 
The shifting phases of his face.

Literature Birds 


Just the carving of stories is all that we need 
We strain and we struggle for our own grand behest 
Not a thing can compare to these words that we read 


We care not for ourselves and the bounds we exceed 
Yes it hurts, but we find that we have no protest 
Just the carving of stories is all that we need 


Through this task we press on, seldom rest, seldom feed 
All our lives, all our strength we thus put to the test 
Not a thing can compare to these words that we read 


We have seen your efforts, crafts made by human deed 
Your ink-covered paper is imperfect at best 
Just the carving of stories is all that we need 


To our beaks and our stomachs we pay little heed 
There is only the words and the stories, our quest 
Not a thing can compare to these words that we read 


We do not think too much of the day we'll succeed 
What matters is the journey and how we’ve progressed 
Just the carving of stories is all that we need 

Not a thing can compare to these words that we read 


Ships That Pass In The Night [for FlameShirt] 


Despite all that’s happened, we’re truly happy 
All the dangers have passed, we're safe and alright 


To live and to love in the midst of the sea 


Side by side always is what we wished to be 
We're lucky enough to have loved at first sight, 
Despite all that’s happened, we’re truly happy 


We've spent many moments content as can be 
To whale-watch together in fading sunlight 
To live and to love in the midst of the sea 


We do recall sometimes that dark memory 
We think of the chasing, the harpoons in sight 
Despite all that’s happened, we’re truly happy 


No matter what iceberg or weapon deadly 
Forever, we'd promised, regardless of plight 
To live and to love in the midst of the sea 


Though now we no longer can travel freely 
We're still glad we didn’t just pass in the night 
Despite all that’s happened, we’re truly happy 
To live and to love by the shore of the sea

A misunderstanding 


SCP-790: Blood? 


Item #: SCP-790 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-790 is to be kept under 
observation at all times, and must be contained within an airtight 
cell, ideally with an airlock in place of a door. Also, given SCP-790’s 
curiosity, the furniture within the cell must be of materials that will 
not absorb liquid: the mattress, being the sole exception to this rule, 
is to be replaced once a week and incinerated as quickly as possible 
to avoid containment breaches. 


Personnel interacting with SCP-790 should not attempt to make any 
sort of physical contact with its host’s flesh or any of the discharged 
fluid unless wearing gloves or, in the case of emergencies, a full 
hazmat suit. 


SCP-790 needs to be fed only once a month, apparently to vary its 
diet from the bone and tissue already absorbed from 790-01; 
personnel that have become familiar with its needs estimate that two 
hundred kilograms of raw meat is sufficient nourishment (beef 
appears to be a favourite). However, since the ingestion process 
begins with [DATA EXPUNGED] SCP-790-01's mouth [DATA 
EXPUNGED] until [DATA EXPUNGED] and then [DATA 
EXPUNGED)], personnel are advised to leave the room before 
SCP-790 begins eating. 


In the event that it does become aggressive, SCP-790 is best 
subdued and calmed by heat- dispensed at a temperature of 37.0°C 
by the cell's air conditioning system. 


Description: SCP-790 is the animated blood of a human identified 
as Mr - hereafter known as SCP-790-01; at present, it 
emanates almost constantly from SCP-790-01’s pores, tear ducts, 
salivary glands, and several deep wounds and scars that cover at 


Why don't you feel lonely? 


Mother, please think of me 
You are too demanding

Mother, | am landing.

Home is where | will be. 


Faith Half-Healer [for Gaffney] 


| was never really a fraud 
| simply act the way | must

| was never really a fraud 


| lead the masses trite and awed 
Mete punishment for sin and lust 
| know how it feels, to be God. 


| see through lies, condemn the flawed 
Work miracles as | see just 
| never really was a fraud 


I’ve gone past where preachers have trod 
Condemn the fragile to the dust 
| know how it feels, to be God. 


Although my actions earn no laud 
| can’t just let my talents rust 

| never really was a fraud 

| know how it feels, to be God.

The Pen Is Mightier [Christmas gift for lhp] 


The blade unmade, the stories blurred 
A mystic legend oft retold 
A broken stylus wrote the word. 


The shaman’s wisdom undeterred 
A horsehead crown the truth will hold 
The blade unmade, the stories blurred. 


The king to battle each time spurred 
Through love and loss, stands ever bold 
A broken stylus wrote the word. 


The son of treason, cries unheard 
Meets each new end in blood run cold 
The blade unmade, the stories blurred. 


The lady of a vow conferred 
In water seals the sword controlled 
A broken stylus wrote the word. 


The metal god, with wrath incurred 

Has watched these crisscrossed fates remold 
The blade unmade, the stories blurred. 

A broken stylus wrote the world.

Twirling through the ocean vast 
Two of us, in endless dance 
Side by side two nets are cast. 


Searching, seeking, lightning-fast 
Won't you spare me one more glance? 
Twirling through the ocean vast 


Find me with your words amassed 


Drift to me, through time’s expanse 
Side by side two nets are cast. 


Loneliness we will outlast 
Aim, adjust, once more advance 
Twirling through the ocean vast
