Procedure: A 5 mms sample of SCP-357 is placed inside the rat's 
food. The rat is to be monitored for 24 hours after ingestion or until 
death, at which point it is to be dissected.

SCP-2983: Stars, We Are 


Item #: SCP-2983 
Object Class: Safe Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: As of 8/15/1969, the SCPF 
Jericho-10 satellite is currently within Saturn's orbit with the task of 
observing SCP-2983. 


A coverup has been initiated, labeling SCP-2983 as a minor moon 
orbiting far to Saturn. Several field agents have been deployed 
within NASA headquarters in order to remove and edit all 
information regarding SCP-2983's anomalous nature. 


As of 2/9/2017, no containment procedures are required for 
SCP-2983. Please see the addenda for more information regarding 
SCP-2983's neutralization. 


Description: SCP-2983 is a head of a Buddha statue that is entirely 
composed of stone and is 71.6 meters in radius. Currently, 
SCP-2983 is in orbit around the planet Saturn, orbiting roughly 1.1 
thousand km from Saturn's surface. 


SCP-2983 has been found to be tidally locked with Saturn’, despite 
the position of the object. This is considered to be anomalous as 
SCP-2983 is considered to orbit too far away from Saturn for this to 
occur naturally. 


SCP-2983 is sapient, being able to communicate by emitting a 
series of radio waves. The process by which SCP-2983 is able to 
produce and emit radio waves is unknown. SCP-2983 does not 
actively communicate with personnel on its own accord, but most 
attempts to communicate with the object have been sucessful. 
SCP-2983 views the planet Saturn as a relative or possibly a 
romantic partner. SCP-2983 claims to have known an entity of which 
currently resides as or within the planet Saturn, although SCP-2983 


has not delivered specific details regarding said entity. 


SCP-2983 speaks in standard morse code. The reason for this is 
currently unknown.

Addendum 2983.2: On 1/9/2017, SCP-2983 began deliberately 
communicating with Jericho-10. This event is of note because 
SCP-2983 had not attempted to converse with the Foundation for 
over 50 years. 


Jericho-10, during logs 2, 3, 4, and 5, was attended by Doctor L. 
Ings. Dr. Ings specializes in the therapeutic treatment of sapient 
SCP objects. Log 6, however, was attended by Researcher Murphy 
due to Dr. Ings's absence at the time.

SCP-2983: HELLO. 

SCP-2983: ARE YOU STILL THERE? 
SCP-2983: WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ME? 
Command: Hello SCP-2983. 

SCP-2983: SO YOU STILL ARE HERE. 
Command: Were you afraid that | had left? 


SCP-2983: | DIDNT CARE. | WAS MERELY

Command: Are you sure you weren't scared? 
SCP-2983: NO. 


Command: | see. Are you still waiting for 
Saturn to respond to you? 


SCP-2983: HER NAME IS NOT SATURN. 
SHE IS ARAH, SORCERESS OF EMBERS. 


Command: Sorceress of Embers? Did you 
give her that nickname? 


SCP-2983: YES. SHE AROSE FROM THE 
BALL OF FIRE ILLUMINATING HER FACE 
AS WE SPEAK. 


Command: The Sun? 
SCP-2983: YES. THE SUN. 


Command: Do you know how you were

she not now? Why has she been dormant for 
hundreds of years? 


SCP-2983: SHE IS STILL HERE. SHE CAN 
COME BACK WHENEVER SHE WISHES. 


Command: But why hasn't she? 
SCP-2983: DO YOU DARE QUESTION ME? 


Command: Now, now. There is no need to be 
angry. 


SCP-2983: MY LOVE WILL COME BACK 
WHEN SHE DESIRES. YOU HAVE NO 
RIGHT TO JUDGE ME OR HER. SHE WILL 
COME BACK. | AM CERTAIN. SHE 
PROMISED. 


Command: Right. 


[Silence for 7 minutes.] 


Command: So, has she always been like this? 
Has she always been so large? 


SCP-2983: NO. SHE WAS ONCE SMALL 
AND FRAIL. AT TIMES SHE WOULD CLIMB 
ON TOP OF ME AND PUSH ME THROUGH 
THE STARS. 


Command: Then how did she get like this? 


SCP-2983: SHE IS ONLY SLEEPING. SHE 
WILL AWAKEN SOON. 


Command: But are you really sure?

SCP-2983: JUST ANSWER ME. 


Command: | come from Earth. | live amongst 
many other people, meeting creatures like you 
and making them feel better. 


SCP-2983: WHAT IS EARTH? 


Command: Earth is a planet, like Saturn— 
although | know Arah is more than that. We 
are able to walk and move on Earth. We can 
also swin in water, fly in the sky, and do lots of 
fun things. 


SCP-2983: SO YOU LIVE ON EARTH? AND 
YOU CAN MOVE? 


Command: Yes. And it isn't lonely here at all. 
You seem awfully lonely here. 


SCP-2983: NO, | HAVE ARAH. 
[Silence for 3 seconds.] 


SCP-2983: BUT EARTH SOUNDS VERY 
NICE. WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE 
THERE? 


Command: It feels fairly normal. Imagine what 
you feel like right now, waiting for Arah. It feels 
like that; normal. Although we do have 
temperatures. It can be hot or cold. 


SCP-2983: | DO NOT KNOW WHAT A 
TEMPERATURE IS. 


Command: There are two; hot and cold. Hot is 
when the temperature rises, and objects turn 
to liquid or gas. It is what causes fire. The Sun 
is very hot. Cold is the exact opposite. Most 
things turn solid when they are cold. Cold 
freezes people, like Sat— like the other 


Details: One hour after ingestion, SCP-357 is observed to be 
eliminated from the rat's digestive system. Soon after, the subject 
exhibits a pain response. The pain is observed to increase over 
time. Though the mass of the animal does not change, an increasing 
amount of SCP-357 is eliminated from its body, concluding with a 
continuous stream after three hours. Death occurs within minutes of 
this event. Dissection reveals that the entire digestive tract has been 
converted into SCP-357, along with a number of surrounding 
organs. Death is believed to have been caused by blood loss. 


Experiment Log 357-4: 


Date: / / 

Subject: One healthy Rattus norvegicus. 

Procedure: Procedure is identical to Experiment 357-3. The subject 
is provided an intravenous supply of blood to prevent premature 
death. 

Details: Observations up to the three hour mark match those of 
Experiment 357-3. The stream of SCP-357 extruded from the rat 
continues at a steady rate. After 30 more minutes, the subject 
becomes increasingly lethargic. 15 minutes later, death occurs. 
Dissection shows that much of the rat's viscera had been replaced 
with SCP-357, along with a significant portion of its muscle mass. 
Cause of death is determined to be due to conversion of part of the 
cardiac muscle into SCP-357. 


Experiment Log 357-5: 


Date: / / 

Subject: SCP-357 in cryogenic conditions 

Procedure: SCP-357 is placed into a liquid helium environment and 
mechanically compressed. 

Details: A pressure of 100 N/cm2 is applied to SCP-357. The 
sample is able to be compressed to only 0.01 mm3. While still 
compressed, the sample is allowed to return to room temperature. 
When pressure is removed, the sample immediately returns to a 
volume of 1 mm3.

SCP-2983: | DO NOT UNDERSTAND. 
Command: What, morning? 


SCP-2983: YES. WHAT IS THIS MORNING. 
IT SOUNDS VERY STRANGE. 


Command: Well, at times, it can be. It's when 
the sun rises over the horizon, and everyone

your body, this one is capable of storing 
multiple. We're like a chamber, with multiple 
people taking turns speaking to you from it. 
Understand?

SCP-2983: YOU ARE VERY INTERESTING. 
BUT WHY DO YOU SPEND ALL OF YOUR 
TIME WITH ME? | ALWAYS SEE YOUR

Command: We are people who like to study

One day and you looked very out of place, so 
we wanted to get to know you.
