Deviance 


Deviance from social standards is very uncommon in SCP-3003-3, 
with most documented instances attributable to previously 
unidentified neurodivergence or incomplete infection by 
SCP-3003-2. Deviant members of the population are typically 
restrained by other nearby subjects and brought to the nearest 


[Subject sings what has been identified as the theme 
song of said children’s program as he puts on SCP-362.] 


D-1022: Okay, it’s on. So... what now? 


Dr. : You'll receive further instructions in 5 minutes. 
Until then, you may busy yourself with whatever you find 
in the room. 


[Subject swivels back and forth in his chair as he hums 
aforementioned tune. At T minus 3 minutes, he draws 
humanoid figures with a pen.] 


Dr. |: Can you tell me why you’ve drawn those figures? 
D-1022: Just keeping busy, like you said. 
Dr. _: Yes, but why those particular figures? 


D-1022: What? You’re telling me you never watched 
“[TREDACTED]?” 


Dr. : We've reviewed some episodes, yes. 


D-1022 [pointing]: This is [REDACTED]. Come on, man, 
don’t tell me you don’t see the resemblance. 


Dr. [with amusement]: Oh yes, of course. It's the very 
likeness of him. 


D-1022: Phff... whatever. I’m a good artist. 


Dr. :Timeis up. You may remove that item of 
clothing. 


D-1022: All right. 


[Subject removes SCP-362 over his head. The instant he 
can see again, D-1022 stumbles backwards against the 
desk behind him.] 


D-1022: Ohhh shit, SHIT!

[COMMENTARY REDACTED] 


Apart from the treatment of deviant and permanently disabled 
members, SCP-3003-3 lacks any significant violent behavior; 
members attribute this to the presence of SCP-3003-1 inside their 
body, as well as their presumed contribution to SCP-3003-3 as a 
whole, dissuading other members from bringing harm to them or 
ascribing social status to them. SCP-3003-3's stated intent of 
providing for all physical needs of every member is also a result of 
this logic, and access to resources is similarly revoked in cases 
where a member can no longer provide for SCP-3003-3. 


+ Commentary 


In cases where illness, old age, or deviance 
renders someone unable to contribute their 
share to society, their body tissues are 
collected and used for transplants — they can 
grow organs in a lab, but this is more efficient. 
A portion are reserved for medical 
experimentation; you'll understand the general 
character of these experiments if you're 
familiar with what Earth's scientists have done 
to those who they do not value. 


The fact that one will inevitably die in 
unbearable pain from organ harvesting is 
apparently common knowledge in 
SCP-3003-3, as is the fact that doing so 
reduces strain on tissue-growing facilities by 
27.8%.

SCP-3004: Imago 


Item #: SCP-3004 
Object Class: Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: The threat posed by SCP-3004 
has remained neutralized. Containment of SCP-3004 is focused 
solely on interception of artifacts that point toward the existence of 
the Cétlaidi. To that end, archaeological sites in Ireland and Wales 
should be monitored closely. Artifacts are to be confiscated, 
cataloged, and incinerated. 


All SCP-3004 related matters are to be dealt with by the Theology 
Department. Director Clark is to be notified immediately if any 
events thought to be SCP-3004 related occur. 


SCP-3004-1 is believed to have been destroyed or otherwise 
deterred from the material plane and no longer requires 
containment. 


Any information found regarding the existence of the Cicadetta 
luculenta is to be destroyed and civilians involved amnesticized, due 
to its connection to SCP-3004. 


Description: SCP-3004 refers to a series of anomalous events 
linked to the rituals of a Druidic cult known as the Cétlaidi, or the 
“Singers.” They were located primarily in Ireland during the fifteenth 
to early nineteenth century. It is known that their worship revolved 
around the life cycle of the now extinct Cicadetta luculenta." 


Due to the combined actions of various antecedent groups to the 
Foundation (including the Vatican's Congregation for Otherworldly 
Acts and the Royal Society for the Imprisonment of Abnormalcy), all 
knowledge of SCP-3004 and the Singers was destroyed in order to 
contain SCP-3004-1. As SCP-3004 was thus “destroyed", the 


SCP-3004-1 entity ceased all activity. 


SCP-3004 events centered around imagery associated with the rites 
of the Singers. They occurred most commonly during a celebration 
surrounding a child's entrance into adulthood which was signified by 
the first loss of primary teeth. These events were theorized to lead to 
the entrance of their deity, dubbed SCP-3004-1, into local time- 
space. SCP-3004 events are understood to have been the result of 
SCP-3004-1 attempting to act upon the material world. It is unclear 
as to when SCP-3004-1 began to react to the beliefs of the Singers. 


While there are signs of varied SCP-3004 events, there are few 
reports that still exist. Artwork relating to SCP-3004 events show 
Cicadetta luculenta coming from the facial orifices, causing 
asphyxiation in many. A written record details the sighting of an 
anomalously large instance of Cicadetta /uculenta (believed to be 
SCP-3004-1) appearing in the sky, the sight of which caused painful 
boils in those who witnessed it, along with symptoms resembling 
radiation sickness. Despite this, the Singers were said to have 
continued their rituals in the face of SCP-3004 events, which was 
seen as necessitating their destruction. 


SCP-3004-1 was an entity which interacted with the Singers through 
their rituals, causing SCP-3004 events. Little is known about the 
nature of SCP-3004-1. It is theorized to have been a thought form or 
an extradimensional being that, through happenstance, responded 
to the rituals of the Singers. There is no data that exists to point 
toward SCP-3004-1 being anything greater than a Level-3 
Pistiphage2 Entity. 


Due to the intimate nature of this subject (i.e. all who read this will 
surely [Christ willing] know me and | them) and its current 
neutralized state, I'm going to keep the academic hot air to a 
minimum. | have no desire or need to impress any of you. You're my 
colleagues, and | think we all understand that there's no need to 
hide what this is beneath jargon and posturing. 


3004-1 is a deity, if you wish to define a thing as such. A deity isa 
creature of law, ritual, and belief. Certainly, its existence doesn't 
shake my faith. Nothing has, and | doubt a curious thought form 


attracted to cicadas and greenery will shake it yet. It is not infinite, 
and it is not all-knowing. Quite the opposite. Its limits are apparent. 
Cut off from a few rituals and direct believers, 3004-1 ceased all 
activity. There have been no resurgence events. Nary a peep. 


Truthfully, what little we have left of the history of the Cétlaidi (the 
Singers in the vulgar English) is quite interesting. Based around the 
Cicadetta luculenta and its apparent rebirth and what have you, it 
wasn't just a fringe Druidic sect. This was nationwide. They were 
respected members of society. There are signs of them in Wales 
and Scotland. So, of course, before the inevitable violence, the 
Catholic church, in its ever ineffable wisdom (may the Lord my God 
forgive me for blasoheming His one true church on this earth, of 
course, etc. etc.) did attempt to bring them into the fold. Before the 
complete eradication of the Cétlaidi from the face of history in an 
unprecedented act of violence and usage of anomalous objects that 
many would see as foolhardy, maybe even horribly unwise (may the 
O5 Council forgive me for this slight against the forefather of the 
Foundation, of course, etc. etc.), the parishes in certain rural areas 
of Ireland seemed more Singer than Christian. 


This is all we know. This is all that is left. The eradication of their 
rituals, of their culture, of their impact on Ireland and the world at 
large was snuffed out with an alarming thoroughness. Not 
unprecedented, certainly, but consider the fact that this happened in 
the late 1700s. This was the desperate act of an early incarnation of 
what we all became. Foolhardy and harsh, yes, but | truly cannot 
say that we would not have done the same, given what little we 
know of 3004-1's effects on our material plane. Of course, given the 
English view of the Irish at the time, it is not overly cynical to imagine 
that the Royal Society relished the chance to destroy the culture and 
the impact of the Cétlaidi. 


So total was their destruction that the extinction of the Cicadetta 
luculenta, charmingly known as the “stained glass cicada,” became 
an opportunity to even wipe their sacred animal from the memory of 
man. The deforestation of Ireland, certainly, led to the death of their 
species, but one must wonder if their extinction came from a more 
direct source. This, of course, is all merely speculation. Maybe the 
sacred animal merely followed their deity. Certainly, it speaks to the 


fear they felt if the Royal Society and the Congregation would enact 
the destruction of an entire animal species. A harmless creature, 
cousin to the New Forest cicada. Perhaps they feared that cut off 
from ritual, 3004-1 would manifest through them. The idea, certainly, 
is not ridiculous. There is a strong connection between belief and 
fact. Perhaps, their fear would have even made it so. 


Given the fact that Cétlaidi were upright members of society, one 
can imagine that the resonance within their rituals that 3004-1 felt 
were mere happenstance. In my opinion, there is no reason to 
assume that this entity is at all related to the Cétlaidi and their 
beliefs. Something in them, | hypothesize, spoke to this thing, and it 
acclimated itself to their belief system. Think of it as something 
floating in a place close to ours, maybe layered above or beneath. 
Perhaps there are many creatures like it there. | doubt that an entity 
like this would exist alone, although | have no proof of this besides 
the certitude of my gut. Through these repetitions of behavior, 
through these beliefs, it was able to act on our plane. And it became 
what it was molded by. 


There is also no reason to assume 3004-1 to be malevolent. It is 
disingenuous to think of such an entity in terms of good and evil. 
Given the focus the Cétlaidi had on life and death, along with the 
imagery of Christ the Savior's death on the cross, it stands to reason 
that the 3004-1 manifestations would be violent. It spoke the only 
language it knew, the language of blood, wood, glass, and sacrifice. 
Perhaps the brutality of its manifestations, of the events associated 
with the 3004 rituals, could have been the 3004-1 entity interpreting 
the very real subjugation of the Irish people at the time. There is no 
reason to assume that the lives of its followers would not be just as 
important to the entity as their rituals. Certainly, the language of 
death and rebirth of the cicada, of the scourging at the pillar, present 
in the rites of Roman Catholicism (especially in the era of its 
neutralization) and what is theorized to have been the rituals of the 
Cétlaidi could have lent to all of the violence, to the harshness of it 
all. 


Faced with their god, a terrifying thing that sowed discord, there is 
no record of their reaction. There is only record of their destruction. 
One would imagine them to have been horrified, yet to have 


necessitated their destruction, they very well may have followed the 
entity's whims, however alien. No proof has been found to point 
toward either hypothesis. 


But again, this is all conjecture. We simply do not know enough to 
take any approach to this object other than making sure it never 
comes back. | do not believe we will be unable to deal with 
something such as this, given the current technologies available to 
us, but it is best to not awaken a sleeping giant, as it were. Given 
what we have here, | can offer no other advice. Whenever we rarely 
find something that our predecessors missed, we will catalog it, 
learn what we can about what we destroyed, and move on to other 
things. 


Item #: SCP-3004 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All communities that could 
possibly support an SCP-3004 event are to be monitored for 
uncharacteristic rises in death rate and attendance at places of 
worship. If a community is shown to have been the host of an 
SCP-3004 event or events, all afflicted civilians are to be 
amnesticized. Any injuries or deaths that occur because of these 
events are to be given applicable cover stories. At no point is an 
individual known to be involved in an SCP-3004 event to be 
considered for Foundation employment, D-Class or otherwise. 


MTF Y-99 “Altar Boys” is tasked with responding to SCP-3004 
events in progress, where possible, and stopping them by any 
means necessary. 


All sightings of SCP-3004-2 are to be reported to the Theology 
Department. Images of SCP-3004-2 are to be dismissed as hoaxes 
or deleted as necessary. All instances of SCP-3004-2 found in the 
wild are to be destroyed to avoid future SCP-3004 events. As of 
Project SIGHTSEE-LUX, there are to be no attempts to track 
SCP-3004-2 instances. Any attempt is to be made to destroy them 
before their disappearance. 


There is to be no further attempt at contacting SCP-3004-1. 
SCP-3004-1 will be contained through the clean-up of SCP-3004 
events and the destruction of SCP-3004-2 instances. 


Currently, all containment is focused upon reducing the effects of 
SCP-3004 events which have already occurred. If SCP-3004-1's 
entrance into the material plane is unavoidable and inevitable, 
Protocol Damnatio ad Bestias is to be enacted. 


Description: SCP-3004 refers to a series of anomalous events that 
occur in Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Anglican, and 
Episcopalian communities. SCP-3004 events occur without any 
patterns connected to population or demographics other than 
religion. While SCP-3004 events are varied and have few similarities 
to unite them, the presence of SCP-3004-2 at each event proves a 
connection. 


SCP-3004 events are rituals carried out by otherwise non- 
anomalous individuals in their place of worship. Despite showing a 
great divergence from Christian norms of worship, individuals 
involved in an SCP-3004 event show great hesitation to stop 
engaging in the ritual, even those that involve self-harm. All 
individuals attending the place of worship for that purpose will not 
stop the rituals involved, even if their actions go against previously 
held morals. Individuals who normally exhibit entomophobia exhibit 
no fear of the SCP-3004-2 instances involved in the ritual. Deaths 
that occur as a result of SCP-3004 rituals will be categorized as 
death by natural causes, regardless of what was done to the 
individual. Those who witness an SCP-3004 ritual express a 
renewed interest in their chosen faith and seek to convince friends 
and family to accompany them to their place of worship. 


+ Examples of SCP-3004 rituals include: 


* the slaughter of a child bearing traditional stigmata 
wounds out of which crawled instances of 
SCP-3004-2; the child was killed when the 
officiating priest bit out the child's jugular; 
SCP-3004-2 instances crawled en masse from the 
wounds up to six hours after the child's death 

¢ the forcible removal of the officiating priest's teeth 


by twelve children; the children and the priest were 
then seen to vomit instances of SCP-3004-2; the 
teeth were served in the place of communion 
wafers later on during the mass
