The current director of the present incarnation of ORIA is 
Parviz Jafari, a "retired" general of the Iranian 
Revolutionary Guard. Jafari experienced an encounter 
with unidentified flying objects during his time in the 
Imperial Iranian Air Force in 1976 and was convinced 
from that point on of the existence of paranormal or non- 
conventional phenomena; this attracted the attention of 
ORIA, who recruited him shortly after the Revolution.

FOR PROJECT

1. COOPERATION BETWEEN TYPE 1 STANDARD PERSONNEL 
AND OPERATIONAL HEAD (OPERATIVE "IBN RUSHD") 
REMAINS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE PARAMETERS. 
RECONNAISSANCE OF KAMARIOTISSA HAS YIELDED 
NOTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE. 


2. COOPERATION BETWEEN TYPE 2 SPECIAL PERSONNEL 
AND OPERATIONAL HEAD (OPERATIVE "IBN RUSHD") HAS 
DEVIATED TO BELOW ACCEPTABLE PARAMETERS. "IBN 
RUSHD" REQUESTS ASSIGNMENT OF NEW TYPE 2 SPECIAL 
PERSONNEL TO REPLACE CURRENT OPERATIVES. IT IS IN 
THE OPINION OF MEMORANDUM AUTHOR THAT BEHAVIOR 
OF OPERATIONAL HEAD HAS LED DIRECTLY TO DECLINE IN 
COOPERATION, PARTICULARLY THE USE BY OPERATIONAL 
HEAD OF SLURS AND TERMS THAT TYPE 2 SPECIAL 
PERSONNEL ARE UNDERSTOOD TO FIND DEMEANING AND 
UNPLEASANT ("MASNUNI", "SHAYTANI", "GENIE"). 


SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS: 


3. FOUR (4) TYPE 1 STANDARD PERSONNEL BASED AT 
SAFEHOUSE 6655 AND DEPLOYED THROUGHOUT PORT CITY 
OF KAMARIOTISSA, ISLAND OF SAMOTHRACE, EVROS 
REGIONAL UNIT, HELLENIC REPUBLIC OF GREECE. ALL 
PERSONNEL REPORT COMMON CONDITIONS AS EXPECTED: 
MINING OF GRANITE AND BASALT, REVENUE GENERATED 
THROUGH TOURISM AND VACATIONING, VISITORS TO THE 
SANCTUARY OF THE GREEK GODS AND HIKERS. GREEK 
CITIZENS APPEAR GENERALLY CONTENTED AND DO NOT 


DEMONSTRATE ANOMALOUS BEHAVIORS OR 
CHARACTERISTICS. 


4. FIVE (5) TYPE 2 SPECIAL PERSONNEL BASED AT 
SAFEHOUSE 6655 AND DEPLOYED THROUGHOUT PORT CITY 
OF KHAMARIA, LARGEST CITY AND MOST ECONOMICALLY 
RELEVANT PORT OF A POLITICAL BODY KNOWN AS "THE 
ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF EASTERN SAMOTHRACE" (IDAS). THIS 
MICRONATION IS CONSIDERED THE PROPER GOVERNMENT

SAMOTHRACE PHENOMENON. TYPE 2 SPECIAL PERSONNEL 
ARE NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO MEMETIC FORMULA DEC-4 (FOR 
OBVIOUS REASONS) AND OUR CHEMISTS HAVE STILL FAILED 
TO PRODUCE A METHOD OF RELIEVING THE CHRONIC 
PSYCHOSIS THAT COMES FROM EXTENDED EXPOSURE TO 
THE SAMOTHRACE PHENOMENON BY TYPE 1 STANDARD 
PERSONNEL. DJ/INNI HAVE TO DATE RECOVERED FROM USE 
OF COMPOUND SSK-88 WITH NO PERMANENT SIDE EFFECTS. 


5. INTELLIGENCE REGARDING THE SAMOTHRACE 
PHENOMENON DERIVED FROM TYPE 2 SPECIAL PERSONNEL 
HAS GLEANED COPIOUS INFORMATION REGARDING NATURE 
OF SAMOTHRACIAN ANOMALY; HOWEVER, MUCH OF THIS 
INFORMATION IS DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND DUE TO 
AFTEREFFECTS OF COMPOUND SSK-88. DEBRIEFINGS OF 
TYPE 2 SPECIAL PERSONNEL SUGGEST THAT THE 
SAMOTHRACIAN ANOMALY IS A SUBUNIT OF A LARGER 
AREA2 AND THAT THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF EASTERN 
SAMOTHRACE IS LIKELY PART OF ALARGER AREA THAT IS 
PRESENTLY INACCESSIBLE TO US. HOWEVER, THE SPECIFIC 
NATURE OF THE SAMOTHRACE ANOMALY APPEARS TO 
SURPASS STANDARD "ALTERNATE UNIVERSE" 
UNDERSTANDINGS OF TRANSDIMENSIONAL SPACE AND IS 
MORE SIMILAR TO "REALITY/UNREALITY" DUALISTIC 
STATES3. MEMORANDUM AUTHOR PREDICTS THAT PROJECT 
MANICHAEA WILL LIKELY SHED MORE LIGHT INTO THIS 
CONCEPT AS IT DEVELOPS. 


6. DESPITE SHORTWAVE RADIO INSTRUCTIONS FROM BASE 
OF OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE AFFECTED AREA, TYPE 1 
STANDARD PERSONNEL WERE UNABLE TO CONTACT OR 


VISUALLY LOCATE ANY TYPE 2 SPECIAL PERSONNEL 
DESPITE PHYSICAL PROXIMITY IN CONVENTIONAL THREE- 
DIMENSIONAL SPACE. 


7. TYPE 2 SPECIAL PERSONNEL WERE TYPICALLY CAPABLE 
OF PERCEIVING TYPE 1 STANDARD PERSONNEL AND OTHER 
HUMANS, EVEN WHEN HEAVILY DOSED WITH COMPOUND 
SSK-88. TYPE 2 SPECIAL PERSONNEL ON THE "KHAMARIA 
SIDE" OF THE ANOMALY DESCRIBED A "FEELING" WHEN 
NEAR OR IN A LOCATION OCCUPIED BY A HUMAN ON THE 
"KAMARIOTISSA SIDE". TYPE 2 SPECIAL PERSONNEL BALKED, 
MOCKED, OR OTHERWISE REJECTED SUGGESTIONS THAT 
THIS DETERMINED OR AFFECTED THE QUESTION OF 
"COMPARATIVE REALITY" OF THE TWO SIDES. 


8. TYPE 2 SPECIAL PERSONNEL HAVE PROVEN ABLE TO 
IDENTIFY AND EITHER NEUTRALIZE, INCAPACITATE, OR TAKE 
POSSESSION OF INFILTRATORS FROM OTHER 
ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THE ORGANIZATION "QA'IDAH- 
SCP", THOUGH POSSESSION HAS NOT YET PRODUCED 
INFILTRATORS INTO QA'IDAH-SCP SITES TO DATE. 
OPERATIONAL HEAD "IBN RUSHD" HAS AUTHORIZED SUCH 
INFILTRATION WHEN OPPORTUNITIES ARISE.

REPORT FOR 


impregnation, the sheet has wrapped itself as 
if enveloping the body of a housecat of equal 
size to the impregnating agent. Resulting 
SCP-692-1 has exhibited behaviour consistent 
with that of the impregnating agent. When 
presented with a live mouse, resulting 
SCP-692-1 appeared excited, and proceeded 
to capture and kill it. Resulting SCP-692-1 isn't 
adversely affected by machine-washing, 
though doing so appears to anger it. This 
instance of SCP-692-1 currently resides within 
the office of Researcher E 


ITEM: A standard D-class jumpsuit. 
IMPREGNATING AGENT: D-835 , a 25 year 
old white male. 

EXPOSURE TIME: three (3) hours. 

RESULT: Two and half hours after 
impregnation, the jumpsuit appeared as if filled 
with a human body. The resulting SCP-692-1 
became active when approached, slamming 
present technician into a wall, and attempting 
to escape the test room. Resulting SCP-692-1 
failed to escape as its lack of digits didn't allow 
for manipulation of door mechanisms and was 
subsequently incinerated by security 
personnel.

CANCELLATION 
OF PROJECT 
934 


1. The Type 1 Standard Personnel who were exposed to the light 
sphere are becoming more and more violent in their attempts to 
return to it, which they are referring to as their "Smiling God". They 
have also been constantly displaying disturbing smiles regardless of 
their current emotional state. It is the author's opinion that these 
personnel be terminated and the light sohere destroyed to prevent 
harm to the welfare and sanity of other personnel. 


SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS: 


2. It has been established that the light sphere is not a solid object. 
According to analysis of the object, it is a sphere of light with a 
diameter of one meter floating one meter above the ground with no 
discernible source. The light sphere's current color is a dark red 
tinged with a hint of purple, and its current light intensity is 5000 
lumens. It has remained in stasis for approximately one week, 
showing no color variation or change in light intensity. Type 2 
Special Personnel are currently investigating this change from its 
ordinary behavior of fluctuating light color and intensity. 


3. Type 1 Standard Personnel exposed to the light sohere express a 
desire to see it again’, and worship it as though it was a deity. 
Several have attempted to get others to join them in worship of their 
"Smiling God"2. Type 2 Special Personnel, however, express a fear 
of the object?. 


4. It has been established that Type 2 Special Personnel are not 
entirely immune to the effects of the light sphere. During exposure, 
they exhibit the same effects as Type 1 Standard Personnel; 
however, none have exhibited signs of any of its long-term effects?. 
Many express fear prior to exposure, although they know what they 
are being exposed to. 


5. The light sphere contains a massive amount of heat. Skin contact 
with the sphere's surface will cause immediate burns; however, the 
heat does not radiate outward from the sphere's surface. Metal 
objects held within it will usually sublimate.

ATTESTATION 
OF ACCURACY 
OF THIS 
MESSAGE 
FROM 
MUHAMMAD 
AVESTA 


IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACEFUL AND MOST 
COMPASSIONATE: 


1. Your message of 6 February was received. You have the 
congratulations of myself and the entirety of the Directorate for your 
ascension to the position of Supreme Leader. We all take faith that 
God has granted you the foresight to do as He wishes with His 
Islamic Republic. 


2. The general concept of your message is understood. The 
Directorate provided considerable assistance to the /ranzamin 
during the late War of Holy Defense, and did so enthusiastically. 
This was both at the request of your revered predecessor and in 
general desire to aid our home nation against outside invasion. 
There was much dissent among our Ba’athist lraqi allies and 
members regarding this assistance, but we as an organization 


agreed that President Hussein's unbridled aggression and Western- 
style imperialism could not be accepted. Dissent was rerouted or 
suppressed, and our support for the anti-Ba'athist forces was — and 
remains — unwavering. You will have the support of the Directorate 
in all ways that we can find to support you. 


3. This brings us now to the specific request of your last 
memorandum. Your request that the Directorate find a way to 
weaponize Project 001 or it make ready for strategic or tactical 
deployment brings up many difficulties. The theological implications 
of the very existence of the smoke are horrifying enough to consider. 
How could this be left on Earth for us to recover? How could this be 
left to humans to possess and contain? Is what little we have done 
with it so far already only so much hubris? Is this a gift from God or 
a test? 


4. We have consulted with the Sunni Imam Arash Rezaei and the 
Shi'a Imam Muhammad Avesta. | have attached their 
recommendations to this document. In summary, Imam Rezaei 
suggested that the smoke be transported directly to Mecca, taken 
into the Ka'aba by several prominent high religious figures of several 
denominations (a precise list is contained in his recommendation), 
and consecrated unto God in the manner of returning a lost item to 
its owner. | must recommend against this plan for all of the obvious 
theological and political difficulties involved. 


5. Imam Avesta recommended that the smoke be returned to its 
point of discovery in Mount Sinai and that all records of its existence 
be destroyed, up to and including the memories of all individuals 
involved in the product. | must say that this plan does hold some 
appeal. 


6. We must, at this time only and with the greatest respect alone 
intended, invoke Article 8, Sections 1-5 of the treaty that joined the 
Organization to the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the 
time of alliance, which gives the Director of the Organization the 
right to treat the protection of Earth as a whole as first priority over 
any other need or desire. If the use of the smoke brings down the 
wrath of God upon this world — as, | might point out, is far from out 
of the question — then this Director and this Directorate must, at all 
cost, protect all faithful Muslims and the rest of this world from that 


wrath.
