Procedure: D/426/4 was placed in isolation in a cell adjacent to my 
chamber, to be observed until my secondary effect manifests. 
Details: No effects appeared. D/426/4 was terminated 90 days after 
the start of the experiment. 

Thank God there are some limits to my effects. A lot of us were 
really starting to get worried about me. - Dr. C

SCP-3320: Ethical Relativity 


Item #: SCP-3320 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3320 is contained within 
Zone-3320 in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Zone-3320 consists of 
Site-3320 on Bouvet Island, leased to the Foundation in perpetuity 
by the Norwegian government, and a 50km exclusion zone in the 
surrounding ocean. SCP-3320 should be positioned at a point 
between 15 and 30km from Site-3320, with no vessels or aircraft to 
come within 2 5 10km of SCP-3320 except when required to 
implement containment procedures. 


Site-3320 serves as a base for a MIM-104D Patriot surface-to-air 
missile battery (consisting of 4 launchers), the Type 45 anti-aircraft 
destroyer SCPS Ancile, and associated logistical vessels. When 
SCP-3320 enters an active phase, all available weapons are to fire 
upon it until it is disabled. SCP-3320 is then to be returned from its 
landing position under tow to Zone-3320. Given the amount of 
energy released by SCP-3320 activations, a disinformation program 
is in constant operation to conceal them under the guise of volcanic 
eruptions, earthquakes or military exercises. 


As of 27/09/2017, directional radio jamming equipment has been 
installed at Site-3320, and all transmissions emanating from 
SCP-3320 should be blocked. 


Description: SCP-3320 is a cylindrical construct of extraterrestrial 
origin 155m in length and 30m in diameter. It is composed of an 
unknown grey metallic substance surrounded by a transparent outer 
shell of a material resembling layered carbon nanotubes when under 
microscopic examination. This shell has a semifluid composition and 
possesses an internal self-repair mechanism between the layers, 
conferring SCP-3320 with significant resistance to damage and 
hindering detailed investigation of its internal structure. This 


mechanism is also able to rearrange the structure of the outer shell 
such that SCP-3320 maintains buoyancy in water. 


A two-part propulsion mechanism is located at the rear end of 
SCP-3320. The visible section is a fusion rocket system (fuelled by 
seawater-derived hydrogen) which allows SCP-3320 to escape the 
atmosphere. The second part of the mechanism has not been 
viewed directly but imaging techniques suggest it relies on the 
production and energy release of exotic matter, beyond currently 
available technology. Based on comparison of this mechanism to 
available Project Heimdall data, this would allow SCP-3320 to 
theoretically reach speeds of 0.95c in interstellar travel. A collision 
with SCP-3320 at this speed would result in a release of over 1 YJ 
of energy?. 


The forward surface of SCP-3320 bears a number of engravings. 
One central engraving is uniform and regular, and has been 
identified as a pictorial representation of the star Kepler-174 in the 
Lyra system, with the exoplanet Kepler-174d (SCP-3320-1) its 
focus. Multiple engravings of crude quality surround this image, 
including other solar systems (13 unique systems have been 
confirmed at this time) accompanied by depictions of an octopodal 
organism with a cylindrical body and a variable number of other 
appendages. These depictions are accompanied by an unknown 
pictographic language; portions deciphered by Foundation linguists 
are believed to represent feelings of disgust and hostility. 


At intervals of between 1 week and 2 months, SCP-3320 enters an 
active phase where it will angle itself to an elevated position and 
initiate a launching sequence. The release of energy in this process 
has increased over time from 0.2kt to 0.8kt, with blast effects 
extending up to 9km. While the outer structure of SCP-3320 has 
proven resistant to damage from conventional weaponry, forces 
applied from explosive detonations are able to divert SCP-3320 from 
its trajectory, which results in its deactivation and fall to sea level. It 
is likely the increasing power involved in launching sequences is a 
response to these procedures, which poses difficulties for long-term 
containment. 


Analysis of SCP-3320's trajectory when active has confirmed 
SCP-3320-1 is its ultimate destination, barring unforeseen 


deviations. The purpose of SCP-3320 cannot be conclusively 
determined, but given its absence of transportation or scientific 
functionality, it is almost certainly intended to be [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Document 3320-1: Project DRAKE 
Background 


Project DRAKE, running from 2014 to 2017, was an 
interdepartmental effort for astronomical investigation of 
the Lyra system, with a focus on Kepler-174 and 
Kepler-174d (SCP-3320-1). Secondary aspects of the 
project encompassed investigation of other astronomical 
bodies potentially related to SCP-3320. 


Results 


SCP-3320-1 is a terrestrial planet of 0.0172 solar mass 
(approximately 5.45 times the mass of Earth), orbiting 
the K-class star Kepler-174 (1175 light-years from Earth) 
at a distance of 0.677 AU. Approximately 80% of its 
surface is covered by liquid water. Observation of land 
masses noted [DATA EXPUNGED]. There was no 
evidence of permanent habitation in these areas. In 
multiple locations across the oceans of SCP-3320-1, 
features consistent with [DATA EXPUNGED] 


[DATA EXPUNGED]. There was no evidence of capacity 
for interstellar travel, and it is unlikely that SCP-3320 had 
any prior connection with this location beyond the 
markings present on its surface. 


Investigation of 11 solar systems and 17 extrasolar 
planets based on markings found on SCP-3320 was also 
carried out. These planets shared the characteristics of 
being terrestrial and in theoretical habitable zones of 
their respective stars. No evidence of any life, intelligent 
or otherwise, was found. All planets had experienced a 
catastrophic impact event, consistent with [DATA 
EXPUNGED] a large number of asteroids. 


Discussion 
[DATA EXPUNGED] 


No significant negative consequences for the 
Foundation, the Earth or human civilisation would be 
anticipated from allowing SCP-3320 to reach 
SCP-3320-1. However, [DATA EXPUNGED]

Addendum 3320-1: 


Neutralisation Proposal 3320-1 


Summary 


Based on evidence gathered regarding SCP-3320's 
destination and purpose, it is likely that allowing SCP-3320 to 
complete a launch sequence would remove it from any 
meaningful association with the Earth and result in its 
effective neutralisation. Given the significant expenditure of 
resources required in the containment of SCP-3320, its threat 
to normalcy, and hazardous nature to personnel involved, 
SCP-3320 is a suitable neutralisation candidate, and | advise 
that current containment procedures be ceased forthwith to 
this effect.

Ethics Committee Decision 3320.1 


Proposal declined (0 in favour, 4 against, 1 abstaining) 


The Committee considers this proposal to be inconsistent 
with the Foundation's mission of ensuring stable containment 
of anomalous objects. Containment procedures of SCP-3320 


have been satisfactory until this time and the hazards posed 
by SCP-3320 are judged by this Committee to not reach the 
threshold for neutralisation. Additionally, it was also 
considered by the Committee that allowing SCP-3320 to 
breach containment, travel through the atmosphere and enter 
local space would present a significant risk to secrecy at 
each stage of this process. 


For the full text of this decision, please submit an application 
in writing to the Committee office.

Addendum 3320-2: 


Neutralisation Proposal 3320-2 


Summary 


We believe it is time to reconsider neutralising this object. In 
addition to the continued relevance of the reasons outlined in 
Proposal 3320-1, the importance of this path has become 
apparent given the ongoing escalation in the severity of 
SCP-3320 launch events, which have resulted in 11 
personnel casualties in 2017 so far. As the previous 
Committee decision cited secrecy concerns as a factor in the 


decline of the proposal, we have also been able to secure 
funding and support from the Department of External Affairs 
with a suitable cover for the launch of SCP-3320 as a private 
space venture, which should be sufficient to ameliorate these 
concerns. 


Site Director Q. L. Zhang 


06/02/2017 


Ethics Committee Decision 3320.2 


Proposal declined (1 in favour, 3 against, 1 abstaining) 


Although the ongoing escalation in SCP-3320 launch events 
is a point of concern, the Committee considers this a matter 
to be resolved by assigned research staff and of limited 
relevance to ethical decision-making. The opinion of Decision 
3320.1 is still broadly applicable in this situation, and 


sufficient grounds for neutralisation justifying the subversion 
of core Foundation mission principles has not yet been 
demonstrated. 


For the full text of this decision, please submit an application 
in writing to the Committee office. 


Committee Chair Dr D. A. Singer

Addendum 3320-3: 


IMMEDIATE DIRECTIVE 


3320.001 


LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE 


This directive has been issued granting authority to Site 
Director Zhang and all relevant subordinates to proceed with 
previous proposals for the neutralisation of SCP-3320. 


Notwithstanding the opinions of the Ethics Committee, this 
office considers the case for its neutralisation as outlined in 
these proposals to be strong. However, the need for urgent 
action in this regard has become apparent with newly 
available data on radio transmissions emanating from 
SCP-3320; given the likely function of SCP-3320 and 
intentions and capabilities of its creators, any communication 
from SCP-3320 would pose a severe risk to the security of 
the human race. Procedures put in place to mitigate this 
situation will only serve as a stop-gap measure, given the 


potential broadcasting power available to SCP-3320. 


In addition, the Department of External Affairs has issued a 
briefing in support of SCP-3320's neutralisation in the 
interests of maintaining stable relations with the Global 
Occult Coalition. Concealment of SCP-3320 from the GOC 
has been unsuccessful and the Undersecretary-General has 
expressed serious concerns about our management of 
SCP-3320. The GOC has indicated a willingness to assist 
with their own resources (terrestrial and extra-terrestrial) in 
the neutralisation process if necessary. 


Allowing the launch of SCP-3320 and its egress from our 
solar system will serve as an immediate, effective and 
minimal-risk method of resolving these problems 
permanently.

Ethics Committee Decision 3320.3 


Emergency veto of Directive 3320.001 issued 
(2 in favour, 2 against, 1 abstaining; veto issued by 
Committee Chair authority) 


The Committee is issuing an immediate veto of Directive 
3320.001 under the authority granted to the Committee by 
Article 3 of the Charter on Council and Ethics Committee 
Powers 2009. 


The Foundation's mission is to secure, contain and protect, 
with ‘destroy’ being antithetical to these principles. No 
convincing evidence that SCP-3320 is uncontainable to such 
a degree that neutralisation is required has yet been 
presented at any level. At a minimum, full analysis of the 
predicted future efficacy of radio transmission jamming 
should be carried out prior to making an unfounded claim that 


this would only be a ‘stop-gap’. 


The position of the Global Occult Coalition is of no relevance 
to the Foundation's ethical operation, and to use maintaining 
relations with the GOC or any other external organisation as 
evidence for containment decision-making sets a dangerous 
precedent. 


It has also recently come to the attention of the Committee 
that a significant amount of information in the SCP-3320 file 
has been expunged, ostensibly for security reasons. Whilst 
we have reservations about this removal, of greater concern 
is the fact that the data is not only missing but has been 
selectively deleted in such a way as to give a misleading 
impression to the viewer. In the context of the repeated 
requests for neutralisation of SCP-3320 contrary to the 
advice of the Committee, we must condemn this decision in 
the strongest terms. 


In order to facilitate informed and ethical future management 
of SCP-3320, the Committee makes the following 
recommendations; 


¢ Restoration of expunged data in the SCP-3320 file 

* Consideration of SCP-3320-1 for a standalone SCP 
object designation 

* Resumption of funding to Project DRAKE

Addendum 3320-4: 


COUNCIL STATEMENT 


SCP-427: Lovecraftian Locket 


Item #: SCP-427 
Object Class: Safe* (see containment procedures) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-427 displays no means of 
self-locomotion or malicious intent at this time, and requires only 
minimal containment. Due to SCP-427's adverse effects, only 
medical staff of Class 3 or above may handle or utilize it. 


All personnel using SCP-427 must record their total time using it in 
order to avoid unwanted mutations. 


“Instances of SCP-427-1 (colloquially referred to as "Flesh Beasts") 
created by SCP-427 must be killed immediately as it is impossible to 
communicate with or experiment on them safely. For this reason 
instances of SCP-427-1 are classified as Keter level. 


Description: SCP-427 is a small, spherical, ornately carved locket 
made of a polished silver material. The ornate carvings do not seem 
to serve any function; it is unknown whether SCP-427's outer casing 
was Crafted by sentients or not. Its circumference at its widest point 
is roughly 3 cm. 


SCP-427 was created after placing a pill of SCP-500 in the Input 
booth of SCP-914 and using the Fine setting. It displays no unusual 
activity when closed. When opened, a small glowing orb is visible at 
the center. The orb emits no radiation or energy aside from the 
visible spectrum. 


When SCP-427 is opened and exposed to biological tissue, it rapidly 
regenerates cellular damage and somehow is able to purge invading 
compounds or infections. As a standard of measure, the common 
cold takes 3 to 10 days to be worked through the human immune 
system and eventually removed. In the presence of an opened 
SCP-427, this time is reduced to 2 to 4 minutes. Its healing abilities
