The parathreat then dived down deep, out of the range of 
our radar. Approximately 20 minutes later, we saw it 
coming up, right underneath the Viking. It grabbed onto 
the ship, and ripped it apart. It then went beneath the 
waves again. 


Results: 


From that point, our mission turned into a rescue 
operation for the remaining crew. We quickly evaced any 
survivors, and booked it before it came back for the 
Ulysses. 


Personnel Condition: 
487 casualties (487 fatalities, 0 injuries) 
Conclusions/Recommendations: 


If you're going to try to fight this thing again, it cannot 
happen on water. This is its home turf, and it will destroy 
anything you throw at it there. Lure it onto land and kill it 
there. 


PSYCHE Records 


Following the failure to properly liquidate LTE-0851-Cetus in a naval 
setting, the decision was made to lure the entity to an appropriate 
terrestrial setting, in which PHYSICS Division operatives could 
properly prepare for an encounter. 


Due to the position of LTE-0851-Cetus in the Northern Atlantic, it 
was concluded that the best location in which to liquidate it was a 
secluded beach on the western shore of Greenland. The 
government of Denmark was contacted, and agreement was 
reached to liquidate the entity in the previously determined area. 


Operatives began to lure LTE-0851-Cetus north using EVE patterns, 
which LTE-0851-Cetus appeared to hunt using. This strategy was 
successful, and the parathreat began to travel towards the planned 
liquidation location. 


However, operations did not go according to plan. 


Analysis of Wards Surrounding Hy- 
Brasil

Abstract 

The thaumatologic wards surrounding Hy-Brasil appear to be 
failing, and are no longer properly protecting the city. These 
wards were established to prevent misfortune from occurring 
upon the island, which has resulted in a minor aura of anomalous 
good luck within the boundaries of the island. [1] Based upon 
prior indications of anomalous fortune auras, should the wards 
completely fail, the accumulated misfortune will collapse onto the 
island. [2] 


The sudden reversal of anomalous probability within Hy-Brasil 

within a short time frame will likely have drastic repercussions 

upon the island and the city located within. The exact nature of 
these repercussions is unknown, but could be drastic. 


Based upon past results, it is expected that the failure of these 
thaumatologic wards will be accompanied by sudden, anomalous 
meteorological patterns [3] as well as extremely high EVE 
patterns.

On June 13th, 1988, the wards surrounding Hy-Brasil suddenly and 
unexpectedly failed, resulting in an immediate anomalous weather 
patterns, and a sudden EVE spike. LTE-0851 -Cetus was close to 
Hy-Brasil as a result of the GOC's intentions to terminate it in 
Greenland, and immediately traveled towards Hy-Brasil instead. 


LTE-0851-Cetus was one of the few anomalous organisms capable 
of reaching Hy-Brasil under its own ability, and it swam towards the 
island. The Coalition was unable to immediately prepare a method 
of reaching Hy-Brasil, and was unable to reach the island 
immediately. 


By the time the Global Occult Coalition was able to reach Hy-Brasil, 
LTE-0851-Cetus had already caused substantial damage to the 
infrastructure of the island, including the destruction of the palace. 
General Rockefeller immediately ordered heavy bombardment of the 
parathreat without regard for the existing infrastructure, the majority 
of which had already been destroyed. 


During the attack, LTE-0851-Cetus displayed the ability to breathe 
large amounts of thaumatological fire, which had not been 
previously observed. It has been theorized that LTE-0851-Cetus 
needed a requisite amount of EVE in order to release such an 
attack, which it did not have access to until it absorbed the large 
amount of EVE released during the fall of Hy-Brasil's wards. 


The initial assault upon LTE-0851-Cetus was unsuccessful, as a 
result of the entity's regenerative properties. Continued 
bombardment of the parathreat continued until General Rockefeller 
gave the order to deploy a Casaba-Howitzer Nuclear Directed 
Energy Weapon, which had been intended for usage as a last 
resort. 


The CHNDEW was successful at liquidating the parathreat, but 
resulted in a significant amount of damage to the surrounding area 
of Hy-Brasil. During the resultant cleanup and aftermath of the 
event, the heir apparent to the throne of Hy-Brasil commanded the 
Coalition to immediately withdraw. As a result, the GOC was not 
able to conduct proper cleanup measures of LTE-0851-Cetus's 
remains.

When humans are present, SCP-600 will attempt to engage in 
conversation. Its conversational repertoire is limited; it will discuss 
trivialities such as weather and other "small talk", or attempt to 
commiserate with those present about professional matters as if it 
were similarly employed. Such discussions are superficial, filled with 
jargon appropriate to the person's area of expertise but consist 
largely of obvious statements and platitudes. Attempts at more 
substantial discussion are deflected, and SCP-600 displays no deep 
domain knowledge of any field of employment. When not in the 
presence of humans, SCP-600 is generally inactive, standing ina 
single pose for hours or even days at a time without any apparent 
reaction to outside stimulus. 


The subject is generally cooperative, but displays an unsettling 
tendency to refer to itself in the third person when speaking to 
researchers assigned to it, frequently referring to "the SCP-600 
case". (See attached Interview Log 600-E for an example of this 
behavior.) It has requested that researchers refer to it as "George, 
but is not upset by refusal to do so.

Researcher: | don't think that would be appropriate. 


SCP-600: Ah _, always the consummate professional. 
Anyway, how are the kids doing? must be getting 
pretty big, now.

By the time we 
made it to Hy- 
Brasil, the city 
had already 
descended into 
chaos and ruin. 
The storm was 
bad enough to 
cause panic, and 
then a fire- 
breathing squid 
monster crawled 
out of the ocean. 
It was a recipe 
for disaster, and 
that is what 
happened. 


We bombarded 
that beast with 


Madam Al Fine 


everything we 
had, but it 
regenerated 
from just about 
everything we 
threw at it. | 
burned a hole in 
it straight down 
to the bone and 
minutes later 
you couldn't 
even tell | did 
anything. 


It took hours of 
blasting it with 
our most 
advanced 
weaponry for it 
to begin to falter. 
We shot it with 
magic, with 
bullets, with fire, 
with plasma and 
they only slowed 
it down a little. 


After all of our 
weapons had 
done nothing to 
it, | decided | 
had enough. The 
only weapon that 
had done much 
of anything were 
the Plasma 
Tanks, and | 
came to the 
conclusion that 
an energy 


weapon was our 
best option. 
Given that, the 
usage of the 
Casaba- 
Howitzer 
became justified. 


Since that was 
the first field 
usage of the 
Casaba- 
Howitzer, | am 
expected to 
briefly address 
how it 
functioned: 
extremely well. It 
annihilated the 
parathreat. Left 
a hole right in its 
head that didn't 
grow back. 


But that's my 
problem - the 
parathreat was 
not the only 
victim of the 
device. It 
destroyed far too 
much of the 
surrounding area 
of Hy-Brasil for 
my standards. 
Initial reports of 
the incident have 
indicated that 
there were 
several hundred 


civilian 
casualties of a 
result of the 
deployment of 
the device. The 
usage of the 
Casaba- 
Howitzer was 
not justified. 


The decision to 
use the Casaba- 
Howitzer was 
entirely my own. 
None of my men 
were 
responsible, and 
those that 
activated it were 
only following 
orders. The 
deaths of those 
caused as a 
result of the 
weapon's 
deployment are 
my responsibility 


Madam Al Fine, | 
am filing a court 
martial against 
myself for 
violations of 
Third Mission 
Concerns. 
Regardless of 
their findings, | 
will be retiring 
from service, as 
| can no longer 


view myself as 

equitably acting 
out the good of 
the world. 


| have failed the 
Coalition and, 
more 
importantly, 
humanity. 


General Rockefeller was tried by the Council of 108 for violations of 
Third Mission (Protection) Concerns, and was found Not Guilty, by 
reason of the primacy of the First Mission (Survival) over the Third 
Mission. The liquidation of LTE-0851-Cetus was deemed to be a 
significant enough threat to First Mission concerns as to necessitate 
the complete abandoning of all other Missions. Thusly, the 
deployment of the Casaba-Howitzer Nuclear Directed Energy 
Weapon was excusable. 


Based upon the testimony and insistence of General Rockefeller, 
further usage of the CHNDEW has been permanently suspended by 
the Global Occult Coalition for general usage. However, the Council 
of 108 has retained the right to deploy the CHNDEW in high priority 
decisions, as decided by the Council of 108. 


Following his acquittal, General Rockefeller voluntarily retired from 
Global Occult Coalition service.

Cavalcade (Hub) 


The light of spring flowed from the sky, 
and touched upon the Town. 
When, from the mountains up on high, 
the Troupe came marching down. 


They rode on horses draped in red, 
as well as green and white. 
And on each covered, silent head, 
gold bells danced in the light. 


And when the townsfolk came to see 
the strangers in their home, 

the trav'lers did remove their masks 
and summoned forth a tome. 


So they did speak, so they did tell 
of things beyond compare. 
Of stranger lands than Heav'n or Hell 
and creatures living there. 


They spoke and spoke, and when one chose 
to state that he was through, 
then from her seat, another rose 
and spoke words loud and true. 


When each was done, they donned their masks 
and climbed upon their beasts 
and bade the horses double fast, 
proceeding to the east. 


And so the Troupe did leave the Town, 
a new tradition made. 
As all things start, so they wear down: 
such is the Cavalcade.

What is this? 


Welcome to Cavalcade! 


A reasonable question you might have: What in the 
gosh-dang heck is Cavalcade? 


According to Wikipedia: 


A cavalcade is a procession or parade on horseback, or 
a mass trail ride by a company of riders. The focus of a 
cavalcade is participation rather than display. Often, the 
participants do not wear costumes or ride in formation. 
Often, a cavalcade re-enacts an important historical 
event and follows a long distance trail. A cavalcade may 
also be a pilgrimage. 


Of course, the question then is what we actually mean 
here when we're talking about Cavalcade. In the context 
of this page, Cavalcade is a theoretically endless 
collaborative tale project. The purpose of Cavalcade is 
to explore the entire SCP universe, not just bits and 
pieces of it. It is a heavily nonlinear project, with little to 
no advance planning of plot or stories. However, this 
allows for emergent, character-driven plotlines to evolve 
naturally, and hopefully be a fun collaborative writing 
experiment.
