Special Containment Procedures: MTF Sigma-08 ("Vincero") is to 
locate the area in which SCP-1547-A is currently manifesting. All 
civilians are to be removed from the area under the guise of a public 
safety issue and questioned. Unaffected civilians may be released 
after being treated with a Class-C amnestic; affected civilians, 
including the 1547-W group, may be detained until SCP-1547 de- 
manifests, or treated with a Class-B amnestic. 


SCP-1547-A is to be engaged with lethal force until it de-manifests. 
No other containment procedures are necessary. Update: As of 
June 2003, no use of force is allowed against SCP-1547-A. Protocol 
Petrushka, devised by Dr. Razak, has been outlined below instead. 


Current containment protocol under Protocol Petrushka must be 
followed. Civilians in 1547-W may be detained only during the day 
and in direct sunlight. Under no circumstances is MTF Sigma-08 or 
other non-D-Class personnel to interact with SCP-1547-A or 1547-W 
during the nighttime. 


Failure to conform to Protocol Petrushka will lead to containment 
breach. All testing done to SCP-1547 must be submitted for 
approval to Director Jethro and Dr. Razak. 


Protocol Petrushka: After positive identification of an 
SCP-1547 manifestation, the appropriate number of D- 
class personnel! is to be escorted from the nearest 
available site by MTF Sigma-08 to the location where 
SCP-1547 is closest. 


The D-class personnel should fail the Weyl test (<45 
score). The selected D-class personnel must not be 


given any plastic or metallic tools, but protective gloves 
and headgear are allowed. D-class personnel with 
physical disabilities should be encouraged to join. 


At night, the allotted D-class personnel should be 
allowed to join the 1547-W group. MTF Sigma-08 should 
keep close observance of SCP-1547-A and 1547-W, but 
must not directly interfere during the nighttime. 


Civilians should be detained and brought to the nearest 
Foundation safe house for medical attention during the 
day if possible; however, no more than three civilians are 
allowed to be removed each day. 


Current Status: A successful application of Protocol 
Petrushka has extended the manifestation for 245 days; 
it is expected to last until May 2018. MTF Sigma-08 is to 
remain on high alert as Protocol Petrushka terminates. 


Description: SCP-1547 is a phenomenon associated with various 
Southeast Asian islands, in particular Sulawesi (38% recorded 
cases) and Borneo (26%). 


A SCP-1547 manifestation refers to the appearance of SCP-1547-A. 
A few days after the conclusion of the last SCP-1547 event, 
SCP-1547-A would manifest to a group of people, hereby referred to 
as “targets”. No correlation has been found between different 
targets, and the largest recorded instance affected 354 individuals; it 
is not known whether there exists a limit. 


SCP-1547-A is a vaguely humanoid entity of variable appearance. 
Witness interviews and field reports describe the entity to be 
approximately two meters tall and covered in black fur; other than a 
pair of vaguely canine eyes there are no other discernible facial 
orifices or features. While SCP-1547-A has been observed to walk 
using bipedal movement, it more notably has been found to possess 
displacement abilities, and would use this ability to evade physical 
damage; if SCP-1547-A is unable to avoid the physical damage 
without leaving the area that it has manifested it, such as in the case 
of fire or extensive artillery assault, SCP-1547-A would demanifest. 
No attempt at tracking has been successful, as it has evaded all 


forms of physical contact. SCP-1547-A also seems to avoid sunlight, 
mainly manifesting at night and would hide out of sight during the 
day. 


SCP-1547-A is capable of a minor hallucinogenic/compulsion effect; 
however, the effect is weak enough that persons that score 70 or 
higher on the Wey! scale (1.6% of global populace) or have 
undergone Reger Anti-Compulsion Training are able to withstand its 
effect. 


Subjects that are unable to withstand the compulsion effect of 
SCP-1547 reports a visual hallucination, where they invariably see a 
tall wooden structure. During a SCP-1547 manifestation, subjects 
that are unable to withstand the hallucinations and compulsions, 
now designated as 1547-W, will attempt to construct and build the 
structure, which is believed to serve as an altar. No two structures 
have been found to be the same, though repeated motifs have been 
seen if an SCP-1547 manifestation is interrupted. 


At the completion of the structure, the majority of the 1547-W 
population typically would fall unconscious? except in rare 
occasions. Any remaining 1547-W members that did not would 
usually assist SCP-1547-A, who would usually use this structure for 
an unknown ritual, that typically concludes with the death of 
SCP-1547-A, or sometimes an 1547-W instance. See Addendum 
1547-1: Recorded Manifestations for more information. 


If the ritual is allowed to finish, it does not appear to have an 
immediate effect. However, in a few hours, all nearby plant life, in 
particular angiosperms, would start to wilt and wither. No plants 
species have been able to survive. The effect is irreversible at this 
point, and in the affected area, no plants have been able to grow. 
However, the anomaly does not affect animals or fungi - however, 
total destruction of local plant populations has devastating effects to 
the local ecosystem, and therefore local fauna populations invariable 
either die of starvation or migrate to unaffected areas. The area 
affected has an observed range up to 25 kilometers, diminishing as 
it gets further from the origin of SCP-1547. 


Civilians that were affected by SCP-1547 and join 1547-W groups, 
after medical attention, will be typically able to recall their activities 


during their influence under SCP- 1547, but extensive interviews 
were inconclusive. Civilians typically display no lasting effects, other 
than a significant change in diet and a marked disdain for 
agricultural activities. 


Addendum 1547-1: Recorded Manifestations: 
Manifestation 001 


Location: Serkin in Sarawak, to a group of eight men 
working as farmhands and living together. 


Length: Estimated to be 7 days. 


Context: Earliest known manifestation - it is unknown 
how many times that SCP-1547 has manifested before 
this, but it is believed be no more than three times. The 
Foundation was not alerted at the time of a possible 
anomaly; the record was obtained after the involved 
civilians were found unconscious around the structure 
that they have built, and constructed based on police 
interview and evidence. 


Description: A large fig tree (Ficus obliqua) was 
stripped of its bark and all the leaves removed from the 
branches. A circular trench (approximately five meter 
radius, two meters deep) was dug around the tree, and 
all the removed leaves were placed inside the trench. 
The eight men then stood at equal distance from each 
other around the circular trench and urinated 
simultaneously, then fell unconscious. As this was 
constructed from interviews post-event, no record of 
what happened afterwards is available. 


Estimated affected area: Approximately 1.5 kilometer 
radius. 


Manifestation 002 


Location: Near Ipil on Mindanao, to a village of 
approximately 30 people 


Length: Two days. 


Context: One member of the village had a Weyl score of 
92, meaning she was able to resist the effects of 
SCP-1547 and notify relevant authorities. In her 
testimony to the police, she indicated that she was 
horrified by the sudden compulsion that her friends and 
family had, and drove to the nearest village after a few 
hours of attempting to wake the villagers. Foundation 
notified of possible anomaly, but this account was 
similarly only available after civilian interviews and police 
reports. 


Description: Several betel nut trees (Areca catechu) 
were dug up and arranged in a square array shape in an 
empty school soccer field, five by five squares with each 
square approximately five meters wide. At each section, 
a small pyramid of betel nuts were made in the center, 
aside from the center square where a square hole was 
dug approximately three meters deep and filled with 
water, tainted red from betel nut juice that the villagers 
produced by chewing on betel nuts then spitting it into 
the hole. SCP-1547-A was then observed submerging 
itself into the hole, after which the villagers fell 
unconscious. 


Estimated affected area: Approximately 3 kilometer 
radius. 


Manifestation 005 


Location: A seaside settlement, to four people, located 
near Sangkimah 


Length: Three days 
Context: First time observed near a large body of water 


Description: Several driftwood branches were tied with 
vines into an impromptu raft, where SCP-1547-A drifted 
out to sea; it is then observed to break the raft apart and 


sink. Notably, SCP-1547 does not seem to affect the 
seaweed in nearby waters. 


Estimated affected area: Approximately 20 kilometer 
radius. 


Manifestation 012 


Location: A milk fruit (Chrysophylium cainito) orchard in 
southern Sulawesi, affecting three workers 


Length: Ended after six hours; Foundation intervention 
prevented it to finish 


Context: First time Foundation deliberately stopped 
SCP-1547 from completion, due to the devastating 
effects; while the teleportation was documented earlier, 
this manifestation overturned a previous hypothesis 
regarding SCP-1547-A's re-manifestaion. 


Description: Fruits were gathered and crushed using 
rocks, then the resulting pulp was carefully laid out ona 
flat stretch of road, in a zig-zagging pattern. Foundation 
agents intervened at this point, and detained all 1547-W 
civilians. SCP-1547-A demanifested and re-manifested 
in an apartment complex in Jakarta. 


Estimated affected area: N/A 


Manifestation 013 


Location: An apartment complex in Kramat Jati in 
eastern Jakarta 


Length: Three hours 


Context: Foundation failed to prevent ritual from 
completion 


Description: N/A 


Estimated affected area: Approximately 3 kilometer 


radius. 


Addendum 1547-2: Letter from Dr. Razak:

This is where it gets tricky - as | have indicated earlier, SCP-15-

Initially, we thought that perhaps that SCP-1547 would cease it: 
demanifests after it is engaged. 


One major problem arises out of this - we do not know where S

Item #: SCP-1548 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation satellites 
MALAKBEL-1 through 10 will monitor the south pole of the Sun for 
SCP-1548. Under Protocol Koyash-Veure, all Foundation space 
stations and off-planet bases within the solar system will have the 
monitoring of the Sun as their secondary mission objective. 
Connections will be maintained with major space agencies under 
Operation STYGIAN IRIS for enhanced monitoring of the anomaly, 
with accurate information on the phenomena restricted to specified 
personnel. 


As it is not feasible to place limitations on all solar telescopes, it is 
expected that civilians will observe SCP-1548 on occasion. 
Foundation personnel embedded in scientific agencies will 
disseminate misleading information on SCP-1548 and all 
thaumaturgic symbols that manifest, describing them as unusual but 
natural phenomenon. All other information of the anomaly and 
related symbols is subject to standard Foundation censorship 
protocols. 


Description: SCP-1548 is the designation of various anomalous 
solar phenomena, primarily occurring at the south pole of the Sun. 
There are three types of known SCP-1548 events: 


¢ SCP-1548-1: Six equidistant ovular sunspots, approximately 
40,000 km x 15,000 km in size, appear. The ends of the 
sunspots converge after 23 hours, often accompanied with the 
formation of a solar prominence! that typically takes the 
shape of thaumaturgic symbols. A coronal mass ejection will 
then occur around the sunspots, lasting 11 hours, with the 
prominence dissipating after 5 hours. 

¢ SCP-1548-2: Similar to SCP-1548-1, though a coronal mass 
ejection occurs instead of a solar flare. A solar prominence 
then forms and breaks off from the Sun, moving away from it 
and likely entering interstellar space. The event lasts for 2 
hours.
