BACKGROUND: Following the disputed 
SCP-1427 Ethics Committee report of 
05/12/1991, O5 authorized phase-two 
research toward decommissioning or 
permanently deactivating SCP-1427. As part 
of the Team B decommissioning initiative, O5 
rescinded Standing Order 75128, which 
prohibited Foundation members from 
disturbing archeological sites belonging to the 
Pleistocene Afro-Asiatic Culture Group 
("PACG"). Following the order's revocation, 
MTF-Rho-293 ("Et Laharog") responded, 
excavating the site where SCP-1427 was 


believed to originate, 71km SSW of the city of 
Tamanrasset, Algeria. 


DISCUSSION: Originally discovered by aerial 
radiographic survey in 1967, the Tamanrasset 
Ossuary was cataloged and monitored as a 
PACG archaeological anomaly and assigned 
low containment priority due to its minimal 
consensus risk. Upon arrival at the site in 
February of 1992, Rho-293 found the site 
substantially undisturbed and the radiological 
hazard intact. Deep soil strata analysis 
discovered high levels of trinitite, Pd-107, 
U-233, U-235, Pu-239, and radioactive decay 
products consistent with an incomplete fission 
event roughly 70,000 years prior to the site's 
discovery. This failure of nuclear fission 
appears consistent with samples taken from 
the Kyshtym containment area after the failed 
detonation of the Soviet failsafe device. 


The central site occupies a single blast crater 
of roughly .75km in diameter, centered on a 
rectangular depression indicating the 
existence of a subsurface structure. 
Disturbance of soil strata indicates that 
SCP-1427 was likely removed from this 
subsurface structure at some time prior to the 
year 1600 AD. In addition, the site appears to 
have been disturbed both before and after 
removal of SCP-1427. Site containment 
appears to have been successfully maintained 
after 1967. Apart from SCP-1427, no intact 
artifacts were retrieved from the central area of 
the site. Like other PACG sites, intact artifacts, 
remains, and complete texts appear to have 
been systematically destroyed by later sapiens 
sapiens populations, except where object size 
or durability made destruction impracticable. 


The peripheral area occupies a single 
undisturbed geological stratum indicating 
continuous, low-intensity occupation between 
approximately 71000 BC and 68000 BC. 
Artifacts recovered from the site display 
features common to other PACG sites, 
including the following characteristics: 


¢ Substantial radiological contamination; 

¢ Midden deposition and ossuary contents 
indicating substantial infant mortality; 

¢ Vandalism or iconoclasm by archaic 

sapiens sapiens; 

Use of beryllium bronze as a structural 

material; 

Artifacts bearing markings in PACG- 

Semitic Rectilinear Alphabet B. 


Remains recovered from the site indicate 
cohabitation by Homo sapiens idaltu and a 
second, unidentified hominid species 
provisionally designated as Homo sapiens 
descensus. Relative to the hominin baseline, 
descensus remains exhibit gigantism and 
functional postaxial polydactyly, with a median 
of six digits per limb. Presuming femoral 
proportions consistent with the human norm, 
the subspecies’ median male height was 7'6", 
and mean female height was 7'2". Craniometry 
based on recovered fragments indicates a 
brain volume of roughly 520cc. Though 
populations of /daltu increase throughout the 
period of cohabitation, descensus populations 
remain static. 


Above the radiation-bearing geologic stratum, 
no members of the descensus subspecies are 
found, though intermittent ida/tu occupation 
continues until approximately 63,000 BC. In 
approximately 61,000 BC, nonresident idaltu 


populations appear to have engaged ina 
concerted effort to excavate and destroy 
artifacts belonging to the PACG culture, with a 
special focus on removing and destroying 
descensus remains. As few identifying artifacts 
related to the later ida/tu population remain, 
the reasons for this period of late iconoclasm 
remain obscure. 


CONCLUSION: Though the intended purpose 
of SCP-1427 remains obscure, its function 
appears to have been related to the 
subjugation of early Homo sapiens sapiens by 
Homo sapiens descensus. Resistance to 
nuclear attack appears to have been a high 
priority for PACG engineers: all remaining 
PACG artifacts appear to have been 
constructed for high resistance to neutron flux, 
and many have been recovered from what 
appear to be the sites of prehistoric nuclear 
attacks. As PACG artifacts appear to directly 
interfere with nuclear fission, it is the 
unanimous recommendation of Rho-293 that 
decommissioning efforts focus on conventional 
arms or disassembly, and that recovery of the 
artifact's sheath or other complete PACG texts 
be made a containment priority.

SCP-1428: Jinwu 


Item #: SCP-1428 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1428-1 is currently 
contained at Area-108, and is housed in a tungsten cage within a 
1.5m x 2m x 1.5 m incinerator unit. The walls of the unit are 
constructed in 3 layers: the innermost layer is composed of fire- 
proofed concrete at a thickness of 30cm, the intermediary layer is 
composed of lead at a thickness of 15cm, and the outermost layer is 
composed of concrete at a thickness of 10cm. 


SCP-1428-1 is to be constantly incinerated at a temperature of 
1,500 degrees Centigrade. Under no circumstances are any 
personnel to enter the containment chamber or make direct physical 
contact with SCP-1428-1. Repair and replacement of equipment is 
to be carried out by remote-controlled drones. 


The chamber is equipped with dosimeters to detect whether 
SCP-1428-1 has entered a passive state; if this occurs, Contingency 
Fusang-A is to be implemented. 


SCP-1428-2 is to remain under surveillance for anomalous activity, 
and the site is to be enclosed with electrical fencing. Any civilians 
that approach or attempt to enter the site are to be detained, 
interrogated and administered Class-A amnestics. Personnel are to 
report if the object in the statue's third hand moves or regenerates. 
No fewer than 5 D-Class personnel are to be kept on-site and 
restrained for the purpose of carrying out Contingency Fusang-A. 


Description: SCP-1428-1 is a creature that superficially resembles 
Corvus macrorhynchos. It is tripedal and does not possess cloaca. 
The third leg has been observed to remain tucked up under its body 
unless it enters an active state. It does not need to eat, sleep or 
breathe, does not age and suffers no physically adverse effects from 


prolonged exposure to extremely high temperatures! or radiation. 
SCP-1428-1 has never been observed to communicate, and its 
intelligence is unclear. 


SCP-1428-1 has 3 states: inert, passive and active. 


¢ While inert, it demonstrates no anomalies other than those 
previously stated. 


Passive states are marked by gamma radiation emission at 
varying intensity. There is no clear consistency in the charge 
of the radiation over time, generally ranging from 5 to 9OW/ 
m2, but occasionally reaching levels of 150W/m2. The energy 
ranges from 1 to 1.5MeV. 


¢ During an active state, SCP-1428-1 will produce plasma and 
thermal energy consistent with the solar corona, coupled with 
a burst of gamma radiation at an exponentially increased 
intensity (recorded charges have been as high as 340W/m2 
with 20MeV). While the thermal effects of an active state 
persist only for an instant, and are confined to the immediate 
vicinity of SCP-1428-1, the sheer magnitude of the release 
invariably results in catastrophic damage. 


Following an active state, SCP-1428-1 will begin to emit aurora 
bands consistent with solar radiation. These bands appear to induce 
a compulsive effect in human observers, causing them to attempt to 
approach the source of the aurora. Individuals under the influence of 
this effect are completely unresponsive to external stimuli, and will 
perform no action other than approaching the aurora. The bands 
persist for approximately one full day after the active state has 
ended. 


While SCP-1428-1 is in a passive state, it will enter active states 
once every three months (median), unless exposed to external 
combustion at an intensity of approximately 1,400 degrees 
Centigrade or greater, which will cause it to become inert. While 
physical contact with the SCP-1428-1 is possible, any attempt to 
physically harm it (other than incineration) will result in an active 
state. 


SCP-1428-2 is a temple or shrine located in the Province of 
China, approximately km north-northwest of the site where 
SCP-1428-1 was discovered. The site was constructed in 
approximately | BCE, and contains religious text and iconography 
inconsistent with the geographic area and time period. The most 
significant of these inconsistencies are a ritualistic form of human 
immolation, and the presence of an entity known as [REDACTED]. 
This entity is a three-armed humanoid, and is featured in numerous 
designs throughout the site. The majority of these designs depict 
what appears to be SCP-1428-1 perched on the entity's shoulder. 


A .5m x 1.5m x .5m jade statue of [REDACTED] is located at the 
approximate center of the site, and the entity holds an object in each 
of its hands: the Earth, the Sun, and a partially burnt? [DATA 
EXPUNGED)]. This is genuine instead of being constructed of jade, 
and shows no signs of decomposition despite being at least 
[REDACTED] years old. Additionally, while biologically dead, it 
generates a temperature of 30 degrees Centigrade, and has been 
observed to make subtle movements. It will occasionally fixate upon 
individuals that enter its range of sight and open its mouth as though 
trying to speak. 


After analyzing several texts recovered from the site and 
considerable testing, it is confirmed that human immolation in 
SCP-1428-2's vicinity will effectively cause SCP-1428-1 to "skip" its 
next active state. If immolation occurs, the [DATA EXPUNGED] will 
begin to gesticulate as though silently laughing, and the burnt tissue 
On its being will regenerate at a rate proportional to the number of 
individuals killed by the procedure. 


Addendum [1428-001]: Contingency Fusang-A: The intensity of 
incineration on SCP-1428-1 is to be increased to 3,000 degrees 
Centigrade. If SCP-1428-1 does not revert to an inert state within 30 
seconds, one Class-D personnel housed at SCP-1428-2 shall be 
immolated. Subsequent personnel may be immolated as necessary. 


Addendum [1428-002]: On [REDACTED], the object in the statue's 
third hand modified its orientation of its own accord and began to 
fixate upon the approximate location of Area-108. Its position has 
not shifted since the incident, and no other anomalies have been 
reported. 


+ DOCUMENT SCP-1428- 
A5: EMERGENCY CONTAINMENT REVIEW, [REDACTED] 


<Begin recording, 8:45 AM, [REDACTED]> 


Dr. Adler: Thisis Dr. Adler, presiding over 
this emergency meeting regarding SCP-1428 
on [REDACTED] at 8:45 AM. 


Dr. Albert: We need to amend Fusang-A. 
Dr. Adler: What do you mean? 


Dr. Albert: I've just been meeting with the 
anthropologists at SCP-1428-2: we need to 
stop burning D-Class. 


Dr. Adler: We've been over this, - 


Dr. Albert: No, listen to me, . The crowis 
not the real problem. 


Dr. Adler: Seems like a pretty big problem. 


Dr. Albert: There's a reason why it hardly 
responds to anything we do. It's...it's 
effectively on autopilot. 


Dr. Adler: Autopilot? 


Dr. Albert: As long as [REDACTED] is dead, 
or asleep, or whatever, there's nothing to give 
it directions. So it just flies around and...leaks 
radiation everywhere. 


Dr. Adler: And the active states? 


Dr. Albert: That's part of a ceremony. The 
followers of [REDACTED] could survive the 
radiation. 


Dr. Adler: Well this is all terribly interesting, 


but I'm not sure how that- 


Dr. Albert: When we start burning people at 
the temple, the crow senses it as a similar type 
of ceremony, so it doesn't enter an active 
state. But burning people in that place has a 
completely separate consequence. If we let 
that thing finish regenerating, it will attempt to 
contact the sun, which is where the crow 
supposedly came from, and where 
[REDACTED] currently is. 


Dr. Adler: What will it say? 


Dr. Albert: | don't know. The designs were so 
eroded we could only translate one word from 
the message. 


Dr. Adler: Which is? 
Dr. Albert: "Breathe." 


<End recording, 8:48 AM, [REDACTED]> 


1. No limit to this ability has yet been found; it has been observed to 
withstand temperatures in excess of 1,000,000 degrees centigrade. 
2. Upon discovery, roughly 78% of its flesh was burnt; the current 


percentage is closer to 69%.

SCP-1429: Organoid Organisms 


Item #: SCP-1429 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1429 are 
stored at Bio-Site 66 in Facility A-1429. Free instances are to be 
kept in individual labeled vials in Bio-Containment Locker 1429. 
SCP-1429 is considered to be a Class 3 infectious disease. 


In the case of a broken container, all present personnel are to 
restrict themselves to the area and call for the nearest 
recontainment team. Personnel assigned to SCP-1429 are to be 
made aware that there is no way to detect SCP-1429 before 
manifestation, and they will be quarantined until an escaped 
instance is recovered. 


No instance of SCP-1429 is to be extracted except for approved 
testing. Test subjects for SCP-1429 are to be kept in quarantine in 
specialized human containment suites for the duration of their 
infection. Upon the manifestation of SCP-1429-B, human test 
subjects are to be terminated with minimal physical trauma and 
autopsied for study. When study of a given SCP-1429-B appears 
unlikely to yield further useful information, instance is to be 
destroyed and SCP-1429 to be recovered. 


Testing is not to be undertaken without a secure enclosure prepared 
for any eventual instance of SCP-1429-B. Enclosures must possess 
multiple angles of surveillance and a fresh water source. See 
Document 1429-3-A for full requirements. 


Description: SCP-1429 is a large luminescent amoeboid organism 
(~5mm in diameter) of fluorescent blue colouration and unknown 
origin. Currently, nine instances of SCP-1429 are in the 
Foundation’s possession, and one has been destroyed through 
testing. After an incubation period, SCP-1429 causes acute and 


variable mutation in human tissue. SCP-1429 does not share 
physical characteristics with any known terrestrial microorganisms, 
and do not appear to have a detectable DNA structure. SCP-1429 
does not appear to breed or multiply. 


Upon infection, an instance of SCP-1429 will enter a human body 
painlessly through the skin and settle within a large internal organ, 
rooting itself and becoming effectively undetectable by conventional 
means. The time between infection and activation varies greatly, 
with test subjects displaying incubation times between thirty-eight 
minutes, and eight months two weeks. 


After this period of time, the instance of SCP-1429 becomes active 
and causes a series of radical mutations to the infected organ 
through an unknown process. The organism produces a luminescent 
web of tissue similar to nervous tissue around itself approximately 1 
centimetre in diameter, somewhere within the mutated organ. 
Organs undergo genetic and morphological changes and become 
ambulatory, growing limbs and simple bodily systems of their own, 
effectively becoming independent organisms. These organisms are 
classified as SCP-1429-B.
