Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-206 is currently unable 
to be secured, an information suppression plan has been put into 
effect to conceal its existence. Frequencies known to be used by 
SCP-206 are to be monitored, and all images relayed to Earth via 
other probes or satellites deleted from non-Foundation assets after 
they have been retrieved. Technology and astronomy websites, 
journals and periodicals are to be monitored for discussion of the 
rover or the receipt of unusual photographs (see Document 206- 
AA12 for complete list). Persons who become aware of the 
existence of SCP-206 are to be administered amnestics. 


UPDATE - 30/11/20 : As orbital observation of SCP-206 has proven 
possible, agents within satellite and aerial imaging organizations are 
directed to keep watch for instances of SCP-206, and remove the 
images concerned. Deployment of ‘image corruption’ cover story 
suggested. 


Description: SCP-206 is a Martian exploratory rover (Designation - 
Invictus) launched on 12/08/20 as part of a joint Russian Space 
Research Institute / European Space Agency effort. (Exact object 
specifications are listed in Document 206-AA1.) Despite a 
successful launch aboard a Soyuz-FG rocket, telemetry data was 
lost on 16/01/20 , roughly halfway to Mars. Attempts to re-establish 
communication failed, and on 10/02/20 the craft was declared lost. 


On 08/06/20 (a day after /nvictus was planned to arrive on the 
Martian surface) a connection was established with ESA flight 
control on the rover's assigned frequency. Before terminating at the 
source, 38 photographs were transmitted, appearing to show views 
of the expected landing zone in the Victoria Crater. Three days later, 
a further batch of 11 images was received, showing a drastically 


different location (later determined to be in the Cydonia Mensae, 
roughly 2500km due south). 


The Foundation was informed of the incidents by operatives at the 
ESA shortly thereafter, and moved to investigate. Containment 
procedures were instituted on 21/06/20 , when ESA Control 
received a batch of 5 images showing panoramic views of the 
Martian surface, apparently taken from its satellite Deimos. How the 
rover (which, as designed, is rated at maximum speed of 90m per 
hour on flat ground) traveled between these locations is currently 
unknown. 


SCP-206 contacts Earth sporadically, utilizing its original channel, 
[DATA REDACTED]. Once a connection is established, it uploads a 
number of images in varying formats. Pictures received do not 
always correspond to the hardware originally installed on Invictus, 
though the signature and session initiation packets match those 
programmed. 


Tracking stations have received atotal of images. A large 
number of these images (roughly 38%) appear to have been taken 
on Earth, or worlds similar to it (differing in some detail). The 
remaining photographs seem to have been taken on, or in the region 
of, various celestial bodies, only a small percentage of which are 
currently identified. Periods between transmission vary considerably; 
the shortest registered to date is 26 hours, the longest 511 hours. 


Despite visual confirmation of the existence of something 
resembling the rover (see Addendum 206-1) no trace of it has been 
found in the received images, even when the scene includes a 
reflective surface. Further, a number of photographs show locations 
exceedingly difficult, if not impossible for a rover the size and shape 
of Invictus to access. 


Addendum 206-01: At the time containment procedures were 
instituted, it was unknown whether the transmissions originated from 
the probe itself, or if an unknown entity had simply co-opted the 
frequency and was impersonating the rover. 


However, on 13/08/20 , SCP-206 transmitted a photograph of what 
was identified as a portion of a Lunar Ranging Retro Reflector. 


Nearby orbital assets were re-tasked to survey the relevant regions, 
revealing tracks closely resembling those a rover the size and shape 
of Invictus could be expected to leave. On 30/11/20 Japanese 
lunar orbiter SELENE captured the vehicle itself during a camera 
calibration session over the Copernicus Crater. Four hours later, 
SCP-206 uploaded a new image showing a view of the same region. 
Since then, SCP-206 has been captured by several satellites in 
various locales - see Sighting Log SCP-206. 


Addendum 206-02: Though SCP-206 generally uses [DATA 
REDACTED], on at least 5 occasions images have been transmitted 
to (or via) civilian or military space assets. No connection between 
the image sets in question has been found. See Incident Log 
SCP-206 for more details.

SCP-207: Cola Bottles 


Item #: SCP-207 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-207 is to be stored ina 
waterproofed locking metal container measuring 1 m x 0.5 m x 


0.5 m. The key is to be issued to the current head researcher of 
Site- 's bio-containment area. SCP-207 is to be retained inside this 
area at all times, and all personnel entering the area should be 
checked for any food or drink items, in addition to any other 
searches required. Any staff seen ingesting SCP-207-1 are to be 
retained for future study, with all Foundation clearance levels 
removed. 


All vending machines in Site- are to only dispense clear carbonated 
beverages; any variation from transparent is to be investigated 
immediately. 


Description: SCP-207 refers to a crate containing 24 Coca-Cola 
brand cola drinks. The bottles are designated SCP-207-A to -X. 
SCP-207-B is currently the active bottle for testing, and no other 
bottles are to be opened without authorisation from two Level 4 
researchers. All bottles have been clearly labelled to aid 
identification. The liquid held inside these has been confirmed to be 
identical across all of SCP-207, and should not be ingested outside 
of supervised testing. The liquid has been classified as SCP-207-1, 
and is to be treated as a Class 2 chemical hazard. SCP-207-1 does 
not appear to alter with age; however, the active testing bottle 
should have its protective cover kept on outside of removing liquid 
for testing. 


Mass spectroscopy and chemical tests have shown higher than 
usual concentrations of caffeine and sugars (both natural and 
artificial), along with [REDACTED]. The practical effect of this is 
when a subject drinks SCP-207-1, they will effectively no longer 
require sleep or rest, nor attempt to sleep or rest. This effect is not 
lessened by any soporific or medication yet tested on test subjects. 
However, only a quantity larger than five (5) millilitres will cause this 
effect. The reason for this lower boundary existing has not been 
found, although it is hypothesised by Dr.C —_ that [REDACTED]. As 
such, unless authorised by two Level 3 researchers, only five (5) 
millilitres of SCP-207-1 is to be used for testing. Amounts higher 
than this have shown no difference in effect, with the exception of 
the Subject SCP-207 was recovered from (See addendum). 


In addition to removing the need for rest, SCP-207-1 also causes an 
increase in motor, reaction, and psychological functions. The 


increase is linear in progression, with an estimated 50% increase 
(measured by standard medical protocols, +/-5%) every 6 hours. 
The practical application of ingestion is that the subject is able to 
think, react, and move faster than others who have not ingested 
SCP-207-1. Mental proficiencies show the IQ of the subject to rise in 
line with other increases. 


However, SCP-207-1 does not alter the body of affected subjects. 
Physiology remains unchanged, and as such, can rarely support the 
increase in activity. No subjects have lasted longer than 48 hours 
during testing, with the cause of death varying from massive internal 
organ failure to exsanguination due to major artery ruptures. 
Subjects also begin to show stress after roughly 24 hours, usually 
making each movement extremely carefully, in order to avoid 
accidents. Tests SCP-207-Alpha and -Rho have shown that after 
approximately 24 hours, the increases caused by SCP-207-1 mean 
subjects can easily underestimate their speed. Most specifically, in 
test SCP-207-Rho, the subject was able to escape the containment 
area, despite a five (5) metre wall. However, this caused the test 
subject's internal bone structure [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum: SCP-207 was recovered from College, after 
reports of student moving from failing grades in all areas 
(including physical sports) to top percentile marks, and record- 
breaking performances in physical areas. Agent , embedded in 
the local police force, brought in for interview. Subject 
revealed the existence of SCP-207 during the interview; however, 
escape attempt while Class A Amnestics were being administered 
resulted in the subject violently [DATA EXPUNGED]. Cause of 
death: organ failure due to massive internal hemorrhage. As 
SCP-207-A was empty on recovery, it is believed ingesting a full 
bottle [REDACTED]. 


SCP-207 recovered from subject's home, SCP-207-A already 
empty. reported to local police force as missing person; no 
further cause for surveillance of College required at this time.

SCP-208: "Bes" 


Item #: SCP-208 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to his docile manner, 
minimum containment procedures are to be applied to SCP-208. 
SCP-208 is to be housed in a 10 m x 10 m room decorated in 
traditional Egyptian style, furnished with a single couch and a stereo 
system stocked with music of North African origin of any era. 


Surveillance is to be maintained during all movement outside of 
containment. SCP-208 is approved to operate at Site-17’s medical 
wing.
