Addendum 2453-B: List of Criteria (Speculative) 


The following table was constructed from statistical analysis of all 
women known to have been affected by SCP-2453. The resulting list 
of criteria is not necessarily exhaustive as there may be vectors 
tested by SCP-2453 that were not taken into consideration by 
Foundation staff; similarly, the likelinood of pregnancy is meant to be 
a rough approximation of noticeable trends rather than a definitive 
set of guidelines.

Addendum 2453-C: Follow-Up Investigation 


SCP-2453 originally came to Foundation attention due to the fact 
that a small percentage of its affected users gave birth to children 
who possessed physical characteristics that differed from those of 
both parents. Subsequent genetic testing revealed that in these 
cases the child's genetic makeup was not consistent with that of 
their apparent biological parents; in multiple instances, the child was 
born with a pair of recessive alleles despite one or both parents 
being homozygous for the dominant trait. 


In an effort to better document this anomaly, Foundation geneticists 
created a database recording the sequences of all children known to 
have been produced by SCP-2453. When compared to their 
supposed parents, the genetic disparity was found to be far more 
widespread than previously believed: thus far, every child in the 
database has been noted to possess a genetic makeup inconsistent 
with that of their parents.4 


Comparison to a partial list of Foundation assets returned a near- 
perfect match with a D-Class subject from the initial SCP-2453 
experimental runs. The D-Class individual in question had received 


a negative result and subsequently underwent a termination of 
pregnancy following the use of SCP-2453. A nine-year time 
difference was noted between this SCP-2453 test date and the birth 
of the corresponding child. 


A more rigorous followup search revealed that 98% of the children in 
the database had a genetic makeup consistent with an SCP-2453 
user who received a negative result. Furthermore, of the recorded 
SCP-2453-assisted births, all children born possessed no congenital 
disorders and were noted to be exceptionally healthy during early 
infancy.

SCP-2454: Shine, shine my Fallen Star 


Item #: SCP-2454 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2454 is to remain 
anchored at its current position by steel wire tethers that are to be 
replaced biannually or as deemed necessary by Command. Patrol 
ships are to maintain a 5 km perimeter around SCP-2454, 
preventing unauthorized access. Due to environmental conditions, 
all Foundation personnel are to be equipped with cold weather attire. 
The use of earplugs is mandatory, due to the deafening 
vocalizations of SCP-2454-1. 


Personnel are to be rotated every three months due to the 
physiological and psychological stress caused by the low 
temperature, remote nature of the location, lack of direct sunlight, 
and the persistent vocalizations of SCP-2454-1. 


Boarding SCP-2454 is strictly prohibited until further notice. 
+ ARCHIVED: Special Containment Procedure 


Personnel are to only board the vessel as part of 
authorized exploration missions. Selected personnel are 
to be delivered by speedboat and must disembark 
SCP-2454 in under 9 minutes. Objects are not to be 
removed from SCP-2454 and are to be instead 
photographed with non-electronic cameras. 


Description: SCP-2454 is a 134.16 m length cruise ship. Research 
into the origins of the vessel revealed that it had been registered 
anonymously to the Bahamas Maritime Authority, a popular flag of 
convenience’. The Foundation has since been able to trace 
ownership, through transaction records and the questioning of 
Bahamas Maritime Authority employees, to Rufus Dreschner - film 


producer and high ranking member of the Fifth Church. 


Infrared readings have revealed a humanoid entity within the lower 
hold which has since been classified as SCP-2454-1. SCP-2454-1 
continuously vocalizes at >150 dB. These vocalizations, along with 
the observed movements of SCP-2454-1, are suggestive of a 
perpetual state of pain and an inability to leave the room in which 
they are located. SCP-2454-1 emits a periodic burst of radiation on 
par with ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR)2, highly lethal but 
quickly dissipating for reasons still unknown. These bursts occur 
approximately every 9 minutes. Electronics brought aboard 
SCP-2454 are immediately rendered inoperable regardless of when 
a burst event occurs. Non-digital photography is a viable means of 
gathering information in the limited time allotted for exploration. 
Objects removed from SCP-2454 rapidly disintegrate, resulting in 
photography being the only means of gathering information from 
items and documents discovered aboard. 


SCP-2454 was discovered during the investigation of a "double 
flash" of light detected by an American satellite+ at coordinates 47°S 
40°E on September 22, 1979. The event was publicly hypothesized 
to be the result of a joint South African and Israeli nuclear test near 
the South African controlled Prince Edward Islands. The Foundation, 
suspecting a potentially anomalous event, proceeded to investigate. 


Passenger manifest and dossiers since recovered from SCP-2454 
support the existence of a once extensive crew; however, out of the 
1,892 people mentioned, only one has been definitively proven to 
have ever existed outside of documents found on SCP-2454. Social 
Security numbers and bank accounts fail to correspond with any 
persons, living or deceased. Journal entries and missives found on 
board suggest the purpose of SCP-2454 was to serve as a 
reeducation center for members (and former members) of the Fifth 
Church. The general living quarters were found to be cramped and 
lockable from the outside, closely resembling prison cells; those 
inhabited by higher ranking members of the Fifth Church were noted 
to be of ample size and lavishly furnished. Human remains have not 
been found aboard but clothes are scattered throughout the ship's 
interior, appearing to have been discarded as entire outfits. 


SCP-2454-1 is believed to be Debra Salazar, wife of Carlos Salazar, 


having a few days of diligent work crumble into a ‘dud,’ repeatedly, 
have proven to be an absolute disaster for morale and, at times, 
mental stability. Currently, we only have enough staff to decode 
roughly % of the cipher. 


So far, reassigning personnel after a -month stay at Outpost Delta, 
applying Class A amnestics, and returning them to work on 270-1 at 
the end of a -month period of low-pressure jobs has worked fairly 
well as a short-term solution. This, however, requires a rather large 
number of personnel to be continually circulating in and out of 
Outpost Delta to maintain the minimum amount of staff required to 
decode the greater portion of what comes out of SCP-270. 


In addition, long-term circulation through Outpost Delta has been 
shown to ingrain certain paranoid and obsessive mental behaviors 
that Class A amnestics don’t wipe clean. 


[DATA EXPUNGED] nature of SCP-270, this is exactly what it 
wants, if certain people are to be trusted [DATA EXPUNGED] 
disconcerting to said O5 member. [REDACTED] not in fact a method 
of safe communication between unknown entities, as originally 
hypothesized, but rather [DATA EXPUNGED].

a wealthy and influential member of the Fifth Church. Debra Salazar 
had been reported missing by friends and family not associated with 
the Fifth Church. The Los Angeles Police Department claimed to 
have investigated the matter, visiting Carlos Salazar's Hollywood 
mansion, and declaring Debra Salazar to be safe. Despite this, she 
has not been seen in public since 1974. 


Operatives have reported and captured photographs of Foundation- 
issued equipment in various states of decay throughout SCP-2454. 
Identification cards do not match recorded personnel, living or 
deceased, and are considered likely forgeries. Most outfits coincide 
with those used by the Foundation during the late 1970s, but 
modern attire has also been photographed. Collectively, Foundation 
uniforms are estimated to be in the hundreds with a probable 
maximum of 600 outfits. Certain parts of SCP-2454 are inaccessible 
due to obstruction by clothes, pistols, radios, and ID cards. Due to 
the limited time allowed for exploration, the origin of these items 
remains unknown.

Addendum: On 06/21/1991, a photograph was obtained by a D- 
Class personnel® and returned safely to the Foundation Control 
Ship. The photograph reveals a thick door with an observational 
window. Although the photograph revealed an empty cell, it appears 
to be the room containing SCP-2454-1 based on infrared readings. It 
is possible that SCP-2454-1 cannot be observed by the naked eye. 
Closer analysis of the photograph uncovered words carved in the 
back wall of the cell. Although difficult to read, scans with image 
retrieval software revealed the words: 


MAY THEIR NAMES AND MEMORIES BE 
OBLITERATED 


Recent photographs suggest orange D-Class jumpsuits now 
outnumber plain clothes and operative attire. Also noted was a 
sudden jump in discarded cameras within SCP-2454. 


The O5 Council has ordered the cessation of all SCP-2454 related 
exploration and experimentation until further notice.
