¢ SCP-1548-3: Sunspots form thaumaturgical symbols, which 
range in size. This can occur in conjunction with other events 
or separately. Unlike the previous two phenomena, these 
sunspots do not commonly manifest in any single area. 


The first recorded SCP-1548 event was on 17-May-1983, where an 
SCP-1548-3 event was observed, showing Thaumaturgic 
Symbol-2201-V1 (refer to Addendum. 1). The event was classified as 
Extranormal Event-9008 until similar occurrences were observed, 
leading to the classification of SCP-1548. 


Addendum.1 — Thaumaturgical Symbol Identification: The 
Department of Thaumaturgy has successfully identified and 
determined the nature of several symbols seen in SCP-1548. Below 
is a list of the symbols, denoted with "V" if they are a variation of the 
symbol ("V1" denotes the original or first discovered version of the 
symbol). 


¢ TS-2201-V1: Unnamed; only seen in SCP-1548. If inscribed 
on any telescopic device by a person with thaumaturgic 
abilities, the device will show psionic entities with malicious 
intent toward the user. After a total four hours of use, users 
without psionic abilities will experience symptoms of 
psychosis. 

¢ TS-381-V2: Known as the Kalaphastian Isle among various 
occultist groups. When affixed or projected onto a material, it 
will strengthen the material, enhancing its ability to absorb 
kinetic and electromagnetic energy. Materials may be hidden 


from sight as well. 

¢ TS-1817-V7: Known as the 12 Holy Owls of Serrinithium; 
origin among humans unknown. When the symbol is affixed to 
a weapon or object used with the intent to harm, any entity 
killed by the weapon will annihilate the immediate space 
around it. The size of the annihilation zone is proportional to 
the size of the entity killed. This annihilation zone has no 
effect on materials reinforced with TS-381. 


Of note is 61% of observed thaumaturgic symbols pertain to the 
anomalous Ortothan mythology and religious beliefs.2 TS-1817 
originates from Ortothan occultists in the 1800s, and TS-381 has 
been used by members of the Church of the Second Hytoth, a 
prominent Ortothan group of interest, in avoiding capture by the 
Foundation. Why this is the case is unclear. 


Addendum.2 — Event 1548-29: On 23-December-2016, several 
SCP-1548-1 events occurred in rapid succession. Although 
interpretation of these symbols is still underway, TS-381-V2, 
TS-1817-V7, and TS-2201-V1 manifested multiple times during 
these events. Twenty non-anomalous Ortothan language symbols 
and phrases for protection formed as well. 47 hours later, five 
SCP-1548-2 events occurred in the span of two hours. 


Over the next month a dense cloud of ionizing radiation began 
forming around the solar system, surrounding the heliopause’. 
Although initially at largely unnoticeable amounts, the cloud 
increased in magnitude until no light from the outside universe could 
enter by 20-January-2017. The origin of the cloud is presumed to be 
from the sequence of SCP-1548 events, though the combined 
amount of particles produced was too small to form a structure on 
this scale. Of note is that Foundation telescopes have noticed 
thaumic tessellations+, resembling grids of pyramids, periodically 
forming along the cloud. 


As the night sky is now entirely altered, Foundation censorship 
protocols cannot be fully executed. The dissemination of incorrect 
scientific information regarding the solar system entering a dense 
cloud of cosmic dust is in progress. Scientific information describing 
the actual nature of the ionizing radiation cloud will be censored as 
per Contingency Gailileo-ll. 


Addendum.3 — Recent Phenomena: Following Event 1548-29 a 
high amount of significant anomalous phenomena have occurred. 
The following is a list of the events, updated as of 26-January-2017.

Joint Foundation and Global Occult Coalition forces have been 
mobilized for large scale containment and threat neutralization 
operations. Cooperation with various governments to assist in 
coverups has begun, though these measures are hindered by the 
decisions of the Latvian, Estonian, and Georgian governments in 
declassifying documents on anomalous phenomena and Cold War 
paratech. All major containment sites are now under Level V High 
Security Lockdown until further notice. 


Addendum.4 — Experiment 2154-37: On 12-June-1999, it was 
determined by a unanimous O5 vote to enact a long term plan to 
explore beyond the heliopause. Mission objectives were to confirm 
or deny hypotheses regarding extraterrestrial SCP objects and 
collect data on anomalous phenomena beyond the heliopause. As 
such, the Foundation probe Seraph-1 was constructed then 
successfully launched on 09-May-2000. 


On 27-January-2017, an SCP-1548-1 event was initiated prior to 
Seraph-1 reaching the heliopause, forming the thaumaturgic 
symbols used in predicting the future. Following the SCP-1548-1 
event, an SCP-1548-2 event was initiated and launched. This one, 
however, deviated significantly from normal trajectories and curved 
sharply about 100 AU away from the sun, towards Seraph-1. 
Seraph-1 crossed the heliosphere two days before contact was lost 
from the intense radiation inside of the solar prominence. 


All information collected by Seraph-1 is currently under review and 
pending declassification.

<BEGIN LOG> 


Seraph-1 is ~100km away from heliopause. 
The entire region appears as a barrier of 
ionizing radiation, resembling a cloud and 
glowing a dull orange. Highly complex 
geometric patterns form on the surface, most 
10,000km across. After an hour the probe 
begins passing through heliopause, entering 
interstellar space, and contact is lost. A 
connection is periodically reestablished over 
period of two days, though the only meaningful 
data obtained is a tachyon transmission from 
SCP-3417. After that period a stable 
connection with the probe begins. Many pieces 
of equipment were disabled by the radiation, 
though a rear camera continued to be 
operable. 


Behind Seraph-1 are masses of high-energy 
radiation that resemble solar flares, 
encompassing the entire visible section of the 
heliosphere as a barrier. Thousands of 
thaumaturgic symbols are present in these 
flares, most unidentified. Identified symbols 
serve to provide various forms of camouflage, 
the largest being warding sigils used in the 
Ortothan religion to repel extra-universal 
entities. At the approximate location where 
Seraph-1 exited a large hole is forming, with 
the flares dissipating at its edges as it 
expands.8 


Swarms of entities can be seen in the 
distance, surrounding the heliopause. The 
bodies of each entity are highly asymmetrical 
and possess numerous appendages and 
unknown structures. The only common 
features are a gray body coloration, segments 
that erratically flash various colors, and fractal 
structures. Sizes are estimated to range from 
10km to 10000km, though some appear to be 
significantly larger on unknown scales. 


Two of these entities (hereafter 1548-Q-1 and 
1548-Q-2) pass by Seraph-1. 1548-Q-1 is eel- 
like in shape with five arms extending from 
random sections of its body, along with a 
"mouth" made of impossible geometric 
structures. The end of its body is surrounded 
by arachnid limbs and frequently flickers into 
being translucent. 1548-Q-2 is an oscillating 
and contorting tetrahedral object, leaving trails 
of black rocks that rapidly disintegrate. 


As the entities near the hole the warding sigils 
glow red, causing red shock waves to appear 
around each one, significantly slowing their 
speed. 


1548-Q-2 "unfolds" its body and releases 
glowing white orbs, which reach the sigils and 
expand into spiral patterns. The sigils 
demanifest and the shock waves lessen in 
luminosity. 1548-Q-1 passes through the hole 
and accelerates out of Seraph-1's view. High 
amounts of thaumaturgic particles are 
detected and the hole is rapidly enveloped by 
solar flares. Hundreds of concentrated blasts 
of thaumic energy are shot out of the new 
flares and pierce through 1548-Q-2, vaporizing 
it in seconds. 


At this point, the 27-January-2017 SCP-1548-2 


prominence passes through the heliopause, 
encountering Seraph-1 an hour later. Contact 
is permanently lost.

EVENT SUMMARY: On 30-January-2017, the 
Foundation orbital vessel SCPS Curtana was 
fully outfitted with experimental anomalous 
weapon and propulsion systems. It was the 
deployed to neutralize 1548-O-1, which had 
destroyed Pluto and other Kuiper Belt objects 
following its entrance into the solar system. 
The vehicle arrived at 1548-Q-1's location near 
Jupiter and engaged with the entity. 
Communication with the onboard crew was 
lost after 10 minutes. Footage from Foundation 
probes show the vehicle and entity become 
surrounded by a black substance and vanish.
