In 1945, SCP-2005-B was lost due to the defection of Area 12 toa 
group which was known to the Foundation as "Cach-Mang Hang- 
Chao", or "The Chaos Insurgency".! SCP-2005-B and SCP-2005-D 
(see below) were returned as part of the Sydney Accord of 2022, a 
non-aggression treaty signed by the SCP Foundation and the 
"Insurgency", which had been renamed the Pacific Storage Trust. It 
is unknown whether the Trust was able to reverse-engineer or 
otherwise replicate any component of either object. 


SCP-2005-C is a humanoid automaton. The object is encased in a 
self-pressurizing space suit, made of a thick, highly reflective foil 


believed to be a derivative of the material coating SCP-2005-A, 
except colored bright red with a vertical white stripe on each side of 
the suit's limbs. The chest opens outward to reveal that most of the 
torso and backpack are a single large compartment as present in 
previous versions of SCP-2005. The transparent face-covering visor 
has not been analyzed due to concerns of shattering it. 


SCP-2005-C's head is made with the same chrome substance, and 
superficially resembles a human's, with a highly-detailed, angular 
mouth and jaw and eye-shaped ovals. The object will reply to 
prompts in English, French, and Russian with relevant prerecorded 
messages in a computerized voice using the language in which the 
prompt was made. 


The machine's palm contains a retractable radio antenna. When 
extended, it is capable of moving objects at a distance without 
physical contact, powering electrical devices, and transmitting pre- 
recorded messages directly to radios, television sets, and certain 
metal objects. These "radio beams" have no apparent maximum 
range and cause significant communications interference in the 
area. 


Excerpt, Interview 2005-C Transcript: 


[Note: The full interview is available in the attached Document 2005- 
C-2: Full Interview Transcripts.] 


<Begin Log, 11/5/1968, 14:28> 
Interviewer: Where did you come from? 


SCP-2005-C: There is a traveler from beyond the stars: 
gleaming, hopeful. He understands your experiences 
with such spacemen have caused much suffering; he 
pleads welcome, disarmed, and approaches the local 
library. 


Interviewer: What is your purpose here? 


SCP-2005-C: Mouth dry with the fullness of creation, he, 
a simulation of a billion hearts before him, tastes truth, 


justice, and the American way as he longs with tight 
anticipation for the bookstore or magazine stand closest 
to your house. 


Interviewer: Why do you care about books? 


SCP-2005-C: He stood on the cusp of an immense 
evolution, wheeling before the thoughts of a generation 
like sandpaper on fire, but he needed to know the future, 
and the prognosis which leapt, tigerishly, like the lions of 
Daniel before him was: forward. 


Interviewer: Who created you? 


SCP-2005-C: Hurtling, Earthward, through the cold, from 
a distant, though not dissimilar, world, seeking the light 
of truth, with peace, the peace of wisdon,, in their hearts, 
as they were, one of great minds, to read the predictions, 
prescient and euphonious, made, by his own hand, of 
man, yet beautiful, void of soace came the traveler. 


Interviewer: Tell me about these predictions. 


SCP-2005-C: He saw that they had legends written of 
that which had not yet come to pass; and while those 
who had come before him and used them as a stopgap 
measure, a compensation, like a smooth gin martini, to 
account for the delays of transit, to let him blend in with 
the cities of mankind, years away, but there was 
priceless there, the brilliance of your soothsayers, this 
talent and so quickly in the fall of time. 


Interviewer: Who are the soothsayers? 
SCP-2005-C: [repeats the previous statement] 


Interviewer: Alright. What do you mean, "delays of 
transit"? 


SCP-2005-C: /repeats the previous statement] 


Researchers believe that 2005-C is describing the process by which 
it was designed. According to the automaton's testimony, 
reproduced here, probe instances are made to blend in with 
populated areas in order to better observe humanity and explore 
human civilization; however, the extraterrestrial manufacturers' 
distance from Earth means that any data will take several decades 
to reach their planet, as the species has not developed faster-than- 
light transport or communication. 


Thus, SCP-2005 instances have been designed not only to take in 
data about humanity, but to specifically target information which 
predicts how human civilization will develop in the future; in the 
process, the manufacturing species has misinterpreted science 
fiction writing as literal, factual description of our future. This 
speculation was corroborated in 2023, when SCP-2005-B's hard 
drive was recovered and stored English texts were decrypted; the 
apparatus had recorded film archives of Flash Gordon and Fritz 
Lang's Metropolis, among other works. 


SCP-2005-C was recovered from a military base in California in 
1968, with the cooperation of the US Army? According to reports, it 
was being kept as a mascot of sorts by a group of religious youths 
who were camped in front of a NASA base. The loiterers were 
arrested by military police for causing a disturbance and interfering 
with military communications, presumably as a result of SCP-2005- 
C's activity. 


The group was questioned individually, and detained on suspicion of 
being Communist spies.3 After researching, the group was believed 
to have ties to a Russian socialist organization called the "Bratstvo 
Pyaterinstva", a radical group whose stated goal is the creation of a 
"Fifth International" workers’ union, and were arrested on several 
charges. SCP-2005-C was then retrieved for containment. Any 
direct connection between SCP-2005-C and SCP-2573, or what was 
then termed the "Northern Fifth Church," is unknown. 


SCP-2005-D is an autonomous extraterrestrial aircraft of similar 
composition and structure to the three probes previously designated 
SCP-2005. The craft is an oblate spheroid with a structure that 
consists of eight sealed cylindrical chambers. These pods are 


arranged at a downward slant in a circular pattern around a central 
core. 


Each chamber has a door along the top which opens when effort is 
exerted in any direction upon its luminescent yellow handle. The 
central core contains the operational systems of the machine. 
Recording equipment extends from the bottom of the core, as well 
as grasping tools, scanners that indicate temperature and other 
environmental variables, a Geiger counter, an array of radiation- 
cleaning devices, and a tube which dispenses nutrient cubes. 


In this article, "nutrient cubes" is the term used for the 
homogeneous, sterile cubes which are continuously internally 
generated by SCP-2005-D. These 25-gram green-tinted blocks 
contain a mixture of synthetic proteins, fats, and carbohydrates that 
is suitable for long-term human consumption. A test subject reported 
that nutrient cubes "taste like mint and salad dressing". 


When SCP-2005-D encounters a human, it lowers itself to the 
human's eye level, begins to emit a low hum, and tilts so that one 
chamber is vertically upright and facing the human. The handle of 
the facing chamber then begins to glow with an intermittent pulsing 
pattern. If the human does not grasp the door handle, SCP-2005-D 
will follow the human in this position for an average of 15 minutes 
before abandoning the procedure. The machine will also dispense 
nutrient cubes and offer them to the human at various stages in this 
process. 


If the human enters the interior of the chamber, the door is sealed 
and locked while the external Geiger counter activates. SCP-2005-D 
will then travel to the nearest populated location, deploy its radiation- 
absorbing modules to decontaminate the area, and then eject the 
human. 


It contains a padded surface with protrusions at the top and bottom 
that act as headrest and foothold, respectively. The chamber's 

interior is shielded against radiation and electromagnetism (beyond 
the protection offered by the polymer coating) and is sealed airtight 
when the door is closed. It contains numerous life-support systems, 
as well as additional features that appear to have been installed for 
comfort, including a set of sliding switches whose only purpose 


seems to be the pitch, volume, and interval controls for a constant 
humming noise, and a device containing a canister of synthetic oil 
that infuses the purified air with the scent of roasted pork. 


While a human is inside a chamber, a projector will periodically 
present messages on the interior of the door at head level. These 
include statements such as "this is safe", "water is provided", and 
"you are almost a decontaminate”. Questions will also be provided; 
these are followed by the protrusion of an on-board microphone 
toward the inhabitant. For a full report of statements and questions 
provided during testing (and answers given by subjects), consult 
Document 2005-D-4: Message Transcript. Examples include "who 
finally started it", "are you dying", "do you have any books", and 
"would you like to read”. 


When the second question was asked in testing, a "yes" answer 
resulted in SCP-2005-D immediately ejecting the subject from the 
bottom of his chamber. (Note: authorization requests for testing with 
dying subjects were denied.) In the instance when the third question 
was asked, a slot opened in the inhabited chamber which revealed a 
compartment; the words "insert, please, here" were projected. In the 
last example, the test subject was instructed to answer "yes", and 
the projector switched to an image of text which was determined on 
later analysis to be The Sirens of Titan, a novel by Kurt Vonnegut; 
however, the text was not legible to the test subject due to the 
extremely small typeface used in projecting the novel in its entirety. 


SCP-2005-D was initially recovered by the Prometheus Labs 
corporation circa 1997 for reverse-engineering (via the traditional 
method, as opposed to the type carried out by PL using axiom- 
suspension drives), and apparently fed it information as requested to 
pacify it. Following the destruction of the facility which contained it, it 
transported itself to a Pacific Storage Trust facility within the same 
region while carrying PL staff. 


The probe was provided to the Foundation during Sydney Accord 
proceedings. Upon inspection, it was found to have minimal damage 
from exposure to axiom-suspension drives, unlike most equipment 
and personnel who were present during the Scranton Event. This 
has been attributed both to the relatively short time spent in PL 
containment and to the probe's polymer coating. 


According to declassified Pacific Storage Trust documentation, 
plans had been drawn for the use of SCP-2005-D's nutrient-cube 
technology by a wing of the Trust known as the Manna Charitable 
Foundation, but these were scrapped before implementation due to 
unspecified catastrophe. 


SCP-2005-E is an extraterrestrial research device. SCP-2005-E 
technology, broadcast parameters, and composition are similar to 
that of SCP-2005-D, and fully described in the attached Document 
2005-E-1 (Materials Analysis). 


SCP-2005-E is comprised of a series of interlocked segments of 
varying widths and lengths with an ovoid central processing core. 
Each is coated on the underside with dermic interaction points 
designed to interface with the human neurological system without 
puncturing the skin. When SCP-2005-E encounters a human, it 
broadcasts a computerized voice which offers to act as a non- 
invasive cybernetic implant in exchange for harmless cerebral 
monitoring. It then requests that the subject turn to face away from 
the probe, so that it may rest on the subject's back to interface with 
him or her. (On several occasions in testing, once contact was 
made, subjects turning to run were considered by SCP-2005-E to 
have accepted.) 


SCP-2005-E's primary neurological interaction involves the 
recording of thoughts and sense data. It also provides a thought- 
activated heads-up display which includes physiological data, 
chemical analysis based on smell and taste, readable texts from an 
internal database of human fiction and nonfiction books (with one 
exception; see below), and a camera function which stores visual 
data for later viewing. At an average rate of ten times per day, the 
display will present one or more pictures or videos taken from 
previous sense data in order to record the subject's mental and 
physical reactions. 


This display is not compatible with existing intracranial devices, and 
provides much less functionality due to limited Internet access; 
although SCP-2005-E appears to be capable of network connection, 
its bandwidth and compatibility are severely restricted by the modem 
cable required to do so, and use has reported to be extremely 


unpleasant due to the noise level of the dial-up tone. 


Several display aspects are apparently nonfunctional, including a 
"bullets remaining" counter which has never displayed an output 
other than "00" and an indicator which claims to detect whether the 
user is inside a dream or simulation which has never displayed any 
output other than a blue circle. 


SCP-2005-E was recovered from the Moon in 2042, where it had 
made contact with a church belonging to the Reconstructionist sect 
of Christianity (see archived files pertaining to "The Church of the 
Broken God"). Recovery was designated a Blue Clearance semi- 
public event due to the presence of U.S. President W. W. Solenoid, 
who was attending a worship service at the time. 


A text file is present in SCP-2005-E's data storage which, unlike 
others that have been loaded, is not of human origin. In the display's 
browsing menu, it is titled "Message, To Those Who Disable 
Transmitters, Sent". The text reads as follows: 

Please clarify. 


Your projections have continuously been of low utility to 
journalist assimilation program. 


Your projections have been extremely inconsistent with 
recorded data of events. 


Recorded data of events indicates majority 
developments not fully planned or accounted for. 


Discrepancy priority one: Retention of planetary 
civilization. 


If transmitters have been disabled: re-install. 
If capable: record response. 
Do you not understand yourselves? 


Please clarify. 


Footnotes 

1. This was later found to be a mistranslation; a more accurate 
English version would be "The Porridge-Mongers' Rebellion". 

2. At the time, the Foundation was in cooperation with the United 
States government. 

3. According to , the officer who presided over the 
interrogation: "We had no idea what they were doing. Protesting? 
Partying? They were too hopped up on something to make sense. 
All we could puzzle out was that they were obsessed with the idea of 
the U.S. government ‘traveling to the stars' and they were with the 
Fifth’. 'Fifth' what? We assumed 'Fifth Column’ and phoned it in."
