At 3 (three) known locations on SCP-1482, organs resembling 
human vocal cords are attached directly to an animal instance of 
SCP-1482-1 with staples; these vocal cords are identified as 
SCP-1482-2. Periodically, SCP-1482-2 will produce intelligible 
vocalisations in heavily slurred Scots English. The specific content 
of these vocalisations varies, but will typically involve one of the 


following: 


¢ Complaints of being unable to see or hear, often with the 
mention that SCP-1482 can feel and smell in detail. 


Complaints of the interior of SCP-1482 feeling “cold”, “cald”, or 
in some cases, “baltic”. 


Requests that a non-specific listener enter SCP-1482 to warm 
it up, and provide company. 


Attempts to convince individuals who have entered SCP-1482 
to stay indefinitely, make extended contact with the organic 
parts of SCP-1482 to confirm their presence, and protect the 
structure. 


Requests that individuals exiting SCP-1482 cease doing so. 
Exclamations of this nature tend to be shouted or yelled with 
increasing urgency. 


Screaming, distorted sounds of distress and assertions that if 
an individual who has recently exited SCP-1482 does not re- 
enter, "the bad men” or “madmen” are "gonnae come and 
have an empty"”. 


SCP-1482 was recovered from the custody of Group of Interest 
3BA-Alpha-C (“the Chaos Insurgency”), following the group's evident 
attempts to manipulate SCP-1482’s anomalous properties to enable 
longevity and non-reliance on nutrition in humans. The organisation 
had largely abandoned projects involving SCP-1482 by the time the 
Foundation became involved. 


Analysis of files recovered from the Cl have revealed limited 
information regarding SCP-1482. From these documents and the 
testimony of witnesses, it has been determined that SCP-1482 was 
the former residence of K , noted zoology enthusiast, and 
that the vocal apparatus of the residence at one point functioned to 
provide information on various animal species. Ms. K has yet to 
be located. 


Further investigation has revealed that, prior to the involvement of 


the Cl, the structure consisted exclusively of animal parts.

SCP-1483: The Third Antarctic Empire 


Item #: SCP-1483 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Only minimal security 
measures are necessary to contain SCP-1483, due to both the 
nature of the property and the difficulty in accessing it. All entry and 
exit to Universe B-10208-Alpha-1483 is to be regulated by Falcon 
and Dustside Stations, located on both sides of the transition zone. 
In the event of aggressive invasion of Baseline by SCP-1483, the 
emergency charges around Dustside Station are to be detonated, 
cutting off access to SCP-1483. 


All personnel assigned to the Foundation embassy or any other 
Sites within the boundaries of SCP-1483 may only be held 
accountable to the provisions of their Basic Operations Charter by 
the Overseer Board. In all other matters, personnel are to be held to 
the laws of SCP-1483, and all provisions of the agreements made 
with the Throne of the Empress and the Imperial Institute of 
Paranatural and Esoteric Study, henceforth referred to as IIPES. 


Foundation sites within SCP-1483 are considered a semi- 
autonomous district of operations under the Exploratory Research 
Provisions (O5 Special Order 108-A). The position of Commissioner 
has been instituted with Level-5 clearance to oversee Foundation 
operations within SCP-1483. The individual holding the position has 
no authority outside of this jurisdiction. 


Description: SCP-1483 is the continent of Antarctica, as confirmed 
by local maps and day/night cycles, located in Universe B-10208- 
Alpha-1483 and entered by means of passing through a small 
crevasse! located in the Queen Alexandra Mountain range 
(Coordinates: [REDACTED)). The transition location is classified as 
a SSUIS2 (Stable/Stationary/Unaided/Instantaneous/Safe/Two Way) 
universal overlap. 


SCP-1483’s environment is most notable in its overall lack of 
surface ice. The majority of the continent consists of a central BWh 
desert region, interspersed with seasonal rivers and lakes. 
Vegetation is sparse, and primarily consists of coastal forests and 
scrubland. Agriculture is carried out during the summer months 
through a complex series of irrigation canals and large plantations, 
taking advantage of glacial melts. 


The average summer temperature is approximately 35° C (95° F), 
with winter temperatures reaching -35° C (-31° F). The cause of this 
temperature, and the implications on the rest of the planet's climate, 
are unknown at this time. Many species of native life bear no 
resemblance to Baseline species, and several have been specially 
bred or otherwise modified by SCP-1483-1. There is no indication of 
biological cross contamination between SCP-1483 and Baseline: 
similarities are the result of convergent evolution. 


The sapient inhabitants of SCP-1483 are designated as 
SCP-1483-1, Homo antarcticus. The exact lineage of the species is 
unknown at this time, though the last shared ancestor with H. 
sapiens is considered to be the B-10208-Alpha- 1483 instance of H. 
heidelbergensis. A single sub-species and numerous racial variants 
exist, as well as several clades formed by the application of specific 
anomalous properties to certain populations. 


See Addendum-02 for a listing of major clades of SCP-1483-1. 


SCP-1483 is currently unified under the Third Antarctic Empire,2 a 
matriarchal imperialist monarchy overseeing seventeen dependent 
provinces. Provincial governments are answerable to a central 
regulatory bureaucracy operating out of the capital. The current 
imperial government was founded in 1526 CE, and is the third such 
ruling body to unify the continent. Records prior to year 2-151 (553 
CE)3 are both rare and generally inaccurate. 


The Empire’s technology level is roughly equivalent to that of 20th 
century Baseline, with certain exceptions. Nuclear, geothermal, and 
solar power are more prevalent energy sources than fossil fuels, 
while communication and aerospace technologies lag behind the 
Baseline significantly. Wired telecommunications and primitive 
computing systems are extant only within developed areas. The 


majority of the population of SCP-1483 resides in urban centers 
connected by a train network, or large plantation settlements. Most 
settlements contain subterranean districts for inhabitation during the 
winter months. Mainstream Imperial culture is a highly stratified, 
female-dominated class system, though regional variants or 
throwbacks to older cultural structures exist in outlying areas. 


The existence of anomalous objects is common knowledge within 
the Empire, officially dealt with by the Imperial Institute of 
Paranatural and Esoteric Study and military force as necessary. The 
Foundation is treated as a public ward of the IIPES. The 
Foundation’s presence and purpose in SCP-1483 is tolerated by 
Imperial authorities: However, the Foundation is limited to 
operations within authorized areas. Access to sealed records, 
specific information regarding items under the Institute’s control, and 
any information deemed sensitive by the Empire or IIPES is likewise 
limited. 


See Addendum-01 for a listing of major anomalous objects under 
Imperial control. 


When questioned about regions outside of the borders of SCP-1483, 
an Imperial liaison responded: “The dealings of savages and their 
rotting lands are of no concern to us. Do not waste your time in 
asking after them.” 


Addendum-01: The IIPES has cataloged over three thousand 
anomalous items and entities since its founding during the Second 
Empire Era.4 Of note is the presence of certain patterns within 
anomalous items that do not exist within the Baseline, with some 
correlation with SCP-1483c. The Institute’s philosophy towards 
anomalous items is focused primarily on destruction of threats, 
study, and public preparation. Approximately five hundred items are 
actively contained or monitored by the Institute at this time. The 
most notable of these include: 


* SCP-1483a: “Sanak Thiuh” — The remains of a massive unknown 
organism, much of which currently serving as the framework of the 
Imperial Palace. Estimates of SCP-1483a’s initial size have 
indicated that the creature weighed in excess of 10,000 tonnes. The 
entity features heavily in local folklore, albeit in generally unproven 


and often contradictory accounts. What can be said with certainty is 
that SCP-1483a’s death led to the formation of the First Empire. 

* SCP-1483b: “The Maws of Eser” — A series of UMUID1 (Unstable/ 
Mobile/Unaided/Instantaneous/Dangerous/One Way) universal 
overlaps which will randomly manifest across SCP-1483. These 
overlaps are visible, though intangible, appearing as dark clouds at 
ground level. Their appearance is accompanied by the manifestation 
of 3-20 SCP-1483-1f, which will consume all life in their path, and 
will persist for 1-6 hours. Periods of manifestations vary between 15 
seconds and up to 45 days, with an average of 10 to 12 hours. 

* SCP-1483c: “The Blessings of Aqum” — An overall term applied to 
eighteen known schools of occult practice. Folklore claims that these 
schools originated with a series of objects used to kill SCP-1483a, 
though this has not been confirmed. Information regarding 
SCP-1483c is highly regulated by the Institute, though it is known 
that forms of SCP-1483c have been used in modification of the 
populace, and that the eighteen schools are practiced throughout 
the Empire. 


Addendum-02: Notable clades of SCP-1483-1 include: 


* SCP-1483-1a: “The Summer Court” — The majority population of 
SCP-1483-1. Generally similar to Baseline humanity, though more 
resistant to extreme temperatures and possessing an overall more 
broad build. 

* SCP-1483-1b: “The Black Court” — A subspecies of SCP-1483-1, 
specialized to survive outside in winter conditions by means of a 
thick layer of body fat and fur. Incapable of reproducing with other 
clades. SCP-1483-1b traditionally takes over most facets of public 
life, including the senate, military, and administrative positions, 
during the winter months. Summer months are spent in nomadic 
communes. 

* SCP-1483-1c: “Menders” — Members of the religious hierarchy of 
the Empire, possessing a second pair of arms, with segments of a 
seemingly decorative, metallic exoskeleton encircling the limbs and 
torso. Capable of dispelling instances of SCP-1483b. 

¢ SCP-1483-1d: "Watchers-Upon-All" — The rarest clade of 
SCP-1483-1, generally found serving in special positions under 
direct instruction of the Empress or leading bands of SCP-1483-1c. 
SCP-1483-1d specimens stand approximately 2.5 meters in height, 


possess two additional pairs of arms, and have more extensive 
iterations of the SCP-1483-1c exoskeletons. Iris and sclera of the 
eyes are completely black. Local myths claim that SCP-1483-1d 
have received “all blessings” of SCP-1483c. 

* SCP-1483-1e: Minor Clades - This classification includes all minor 
clades native to outlying provinces that have not yet been studied in 
detail by the Foundation. 

* SCP-1483-1f: “Feastlings” — Entities that will manifest alongside 
SCP-1483b instances. SCP-1483-1f will appear as emaciated 
SCP-1483-1, and are singularly violent in behavior, attacking and 
consuming any nearby organisms. 


Addendum-03: 
A timeline of Foundation involvement in SCP-1483 is as follows: 


¢ / /1912: The first evidence of SCP-1483’s existence can be 
traced back to the journal of one , a member of the British 
Antarctic Expedition 1910 under Robert Falcon Scott. claimed 
to have seen dark-skinned humanoid figures emerging from a rift. 
He was unable to make contact with the entities, but nonetheless 


provided a detailed description of the figures. did not alert any 
other members of the expedition about the event. 
« / /1989: ’s journal was recovered from a Marshall, Carter 


and Dark auction house. It is cataloged without study. 

¢ / /1991: The journal is removed from storage by Dr. Edith Yard. 
Plans for an expedition are made. 

¢ / /1994: A reconnaissance force consisting of Strike Team 
lota-15 makes the first foray into SCP-1483. O5-08 pushes for 
further exploration of SCP-1483 and contact with the natives. 

¢ / /1996: A second reconnaissance mission is made by lota-15. 
¢ / /1997: The third and final reconnaissance mission is made by 
lota-15. 

¢ / /1998: The Yard Expedition makes contact with the Imperial 
government for the first time. 

¢ / /2000: The Foundation embassy is founded in the imperial 
capital of Rootrel. Official agreements of the occupation are signed 
by Empress Utmai Cjen VI, detailing the rights and functions of 
Foundation personnel within SCP-1483 and procedure for 
communication with the outside. 


¢ / /2000: Dr. Edith Yard is appointed to the position of 
Commissioner.

SCP-1484: Murder Diary 


Item #: SCP-1484 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1484 is to be kept in 
Locker 58-C at Storage Site-23. Level 2 staff and above may access 
SCP-1484 for approved research at the discretion of the Deputy 
Director of Research. All experimentation must be recorded in 
Research Log-1484. 


Description: SCP-1484 is a leather-bound journal measuring 

30.2 cm in length, 23.1 cm in width, and 4.7 cm thick. SCP-1484 
contains 326 blank pages. However, pages 125-142 of SCP-1484 
feature a series of roughly 5cm2 areas or "panels" (approximately 20 
per page) which, when in contact with human skin, cause the 
"reader" to experience a range of different tactile sensations 
throughout their body. Each individual panel corresponds to a 
different, usually complex set of tactile stimuli. The sensation 
persists for approximately ten seconds after the subject touches 
SCP-1484. Research has determined that the paper in SCP-1484 
contains no known chemical adulterations or other unusual 
properties, and is identical in every way to commercially available 
paper from the same time period estimated to be that of SCP-1484's 
manufacture. How SCP-1484 is able to manifest the generation of 
tactile sensation in subjects is currently unknown. 


SCP-1484 was recovered from the estate of Mr. in 

19 , aspartof Protocol -A5, related to the securing of personal 

effects of certain individuals identified by the Federal Bureau of 

Investigations' ViICAP program as "persons of interest" in 

unexplained disappearances. According to public records, Mr. 
died of natural causes.
