1810: Security personal from Security Station Three arrive on scene, 
begin to open fire on Foundation first response team. Reanimation 
determined to be by SCP-2068 with the corpses serving as ablative 
armor, fuel, and factory for reproduction. Incendiary weapons proven 
most effective over standard firearms and other means. 
Conventional explosives served only as a means to spread 
SCP-2068. 


1820: Foundation forces partially restored containment, on-site 
warhead remained armed. 


2130: Containment restored. 


Addendum 2068-12: Upgrade to Keter approved. A moratorium on 
testing SCP-2068 has been declared, pending O5 approval. 
Neutralization denied, due to possible similarities to activities in 
Ecuador. What appear to have been cosmetic improvements in 
Sucumbios by C Inc. now show significant changes in the local 
ecology with similarities noted in post mortem per the events of / 

/20 . Unfortunately, due to the on-going legal battles and pervasive 
interference by foreign nationals, the Foundation is unable to more 
closely investigate this matter.

SCP-2069: AEGIS 


Item #: SCP-2069 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All recovered instances of 
SCP-2069 have been stored in a re-purposed warehouse at Area-29 
following the completion of mandatory biological and memetic 
hazard screening and quarantine procedures. Transcripts and data 
extracted from SCP-2069 instances are available through the 
Foundation research database and direct access to SCP-2069 
instances may be granted with permission from at least one (1) 
Level 3 Senior Researcher. 


Description: SCP-2069 is a collection of 2,308 inert objects of 
presumed extradimensional origin that were discovered washed up 
on the shore of [REDACTED], Australia during a period of eleven 
months between 2000-04-08 and 2001-03-02. 


Mobile Task Force Sigma-8 ("Beachcombers") was mobilized and 
assigned to recover objects suspected to be instances of SCP-2069; 
the occurrence of such objects increased in regularity before 
suddenly dropping off at the end of February 2001. MTF Sigma-8 
was eventually demobilized and disbanded on 2002-09-01, eighteen 
months after the last confirmed recovery of a SCP-2069 instance. 


A full catalog of confirmed instances of SCP-2069 is available by 
request from the central Area-29 database. 


Addendum 2069-01: Notable Instances of SCP-2069 


Item: SCP-2069-3 — SCP-2069-97 

Date Recovered: 2000-04-18 — 2000-04-21 

Description: Fragments from multiple autonomous tracked drones 
of unknown, possibly non-human manufacture. Tools attached to 
drones appear to indicate mining and/or construction as their 


primary purpose and analysis of similar components suggest that 
the drones were mass-produced via automated assembly. Damaged 
components are consistent with having received fire from small 
arms, explosives, and vehicle-mounted weapons. 


Item: SCP-2069-198 — SCP-2069-267 

Date Recovered: 2000-04-23 — 2000-04-25 

Description: Wreckage from a Sikorsky UH-60L Black Hawk 
helicopter. Analysis of the remains revealed indications of 
modifications specific to those operated by the Foundation, but 
serial numbers did not match those in any Foundation registry. 
Markings on the hull indicate that the aircraft was being operated by 
an organization named AEGIS. Wreckage is consistent with having 
crashed due to suffering a catastrophic loss of engine power. 
Analysis of engine housing shows evidence of high-temperature 
vaporization consistent with exposure to a focused, high-intensity 
laser weapon. 


Item: SCP-2069-466 — SCP-2069-508 

Date Recovered: 2000-05-13 — 2000-05-18 

Description: Fragments from multiple autonomous hybrid multiped/ 
tracked drones of similar manufacture to SCP-2069-3 — 
SCP-2069-97. These instances differ in that they appear to be 
weaponized and feature armored hulls and high-caliber 
electromagnetic coilguns. Components recovered from these 
instances also indicate vastly different optics and sensors, focused 
primarily on acquiring and tracking fast-moving targets as opposed 
to prospecting and mining. Damage inflicted to these fragments are 
mostly consistent with military weapons, but a few instances have 
damage consistent from exposure to [REDACTED] and 
[REDACTED], experimental weapons developed from 1992-1997 in 
a joint research program between the Foundation and Global Occult 
Coalition. 


Item: SCP-2069-821 — SCP-2069-908 

Date Recovered: 2000-05-29 — 2000-06-02 

Description: Wreckage of a McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle 
fighter with markings consistent with those used by Mobile Task 
Force Sigma-9 ("Valkyries") based in [REDACTED]; however, in 
place of the standard Foundation markings, the AEGIS emblem is 


present. Analysis of the wreckage revealed damage consistent with 
impacts from high-velocity coilgun rounds resulting in structural 
compromise of the aircraft's starboard wing. 


Item: SCP-2069-1112 — SCP-2069-1308 

Date Recovered: 2000-06-02 — 2000-06-17 

Description: Partial wreckage of a Nimitz-class supercarrier 
believed to have been the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), also 
commandeered by AEGIS. Analysis indicates that the vessel took 
multiple non-catastrophic hits from high-caliber air-launched coilgun 
rounds before taking a catastrophic hit to its stern from a high- 
intensity laser weapon. 


Item: SCP-2069-1403 — SCP-2069-1499 

Date Recovered: 2001-06-19 — 2001-06-22 

Description: Fragments from what appears to be large, 
autonomous aerial drones of non-human manufacture. Drones are 
powered by highly advanced engines of similar design to ramjets 
and are equipped with electromagnetic coilguns as well as high- 
powered laser turrets. Most notably, several fragments exhibit 
damage consistent with exposure to SCP- or weapons derived 
from the same. 


Item: SCP-2069-2088 

Date Recovered: 2001-02-27 

Description: Damaged remains of a Foundation-standard field- 
issue laptop computer. Unit is water damaged and unusable, but 
hard drive was recovered intact. 

Research Team Note: See Addendum 2069-02 for transcripts of 
recovered data. 


Item: SCP-2069-2283 — SCP-2069-2308 

Date Recovered: 2001-02-28 — 2001-03-02 

Description: Wreckage of a Boeing E-3 Sentry airborne early 
warning & control aircraft. Recovered data from aircraft appears to 
indicate that the aircraft was originally operated by the Global Occult 
Coalition before being re-purposed by unknown organization AEGIS. 
Wreckage appears to have been partially melted as a result of 
exposure to a high-energy event of unknown origin and power. 
Research Team Note: See Addendum 2069-03 for transcripts of 
recovered flight recorder data.

(Unknown Female Announcer): [...] from SETI have 
confirmed the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. 
According to the official statement, long-range 
telescopes detected multiple bright emissions on the 
morning of New Year's Day, what is now believed to be 
high-energy engine exhaust from a dozen large objects 
on the edge of our solar system. The statement indicates 
that these objects are traveling at tremendous speed but 
rapidly slowing down in a way that suggests they are 
trying to head straight for us. 


(Unknown Scientist): At this time, we believe that these 
are interstellar vessels of unknown origin en route to our 
solar system. From our observations so far, we know 
that there are at least a dozen of them and they are of a 
size and mass that would indicate that they are not any 
kind of deep-space probe. Our analysts are continuing to

(Unknown Male Announcer): [...] despite having been a 
month since the announcement, there is still no word 
from official government sources on what plans exist in 
case the extraterrestrial visitors turn out to be hostile. 
New data released by SETI and NASA indicate that 
these objects were originally traveling at a speed close to 
twenty percent the speed of light, a rate that would imply 
tremendous technological power and capability. 
According to these calculations, with the deceleration 
rate of the ships, they could be in Earth orbit within 
another six weeks. 


Meanwhile, civil unrest continues to erupt around the 
world, with the newest reports coming in from

Recovered Document 
February 27, 2001 


| can't sleep, so fuck it, I'm typing this out because | have 
nothing better to do. If by some miracle we survive the 
night, maybe someday some kid or something will want 
to read this. If we don't, then | guess it doesn't matter. 


Where to start? The fuckers hit us first, and they hit us 
hard. Apparently they'd launched the relativistic kill 
vehicles before they started slowing down. It just so 
happened that their engine emissions were so bright that 
they blinded our telescopes to the slugs, which were 
probably painted black and super-cooled anyways. They 


staggered the slugs so that they hit over the course of 
about sixteen hours, which was just long enough for the 
planet to turn and present all of our cities right at them. 
By the time we noticed them coming, it was already too 
late; before we could warn anyone, New York was 
already a ninety-megaton crater. 


| think they were targeting people, just trying to wipe out 
as many of us as they could. Maybe they didn't have 
enough rounds or mass, or maybe they didn't quite get 
how we work. Either way, it's the only way we managed 
to get our shit together, because most of our major sites 
and a couple of other bases like NORAD managed to 
stay in one piece. Of course, that wasn't much 
consolation at the time with half the human population 
dead or dying. 


With most of the civilian governments wiped out or 
crippled, the only big players left were us and the 
Coalition. We put out as many fires as we could, then put 
our heads together and decided the only way any of us 
were going to get through this was if we joined forces 
and took over as much of the worldwide military that was 
left. With only about two months left before the ships got 
to Earth, we didn't have much time to scrounge together 
a defense. 


But we did, and we stockpiled as many weapons as we 
could in the meantime. We hid in holes as the aliens 
drew into orbit, and we waited. Maybe they didn't 
account for our tenacity to live, or maybe they just 
expected us to turn on each other long before we'd ever 
manage to unite to fight a bigger threat. Either way, they 
didn't bother to wipe us out from orbit before they started 
landing. Of the dozen or so ships that they brought, they 
landed half of them in Australia — probably the least 
devastated landmass — and began to set up shop. 


That's when we struck back. 


We fired over half of our nuclear arsenal at them, all at 


* Yes, there are staff members who have been on 
SCP-231 and have successfully transferred out by 
their own request. No, not everyone who's worked 
on SCP-231 is terminated upon leaving the 
project. 

¢ Yes, staff members who have been assigned to 
SCP-231 are allowed to take a Class A Amnesiac 
before leaving the project if so desired. Yes, false 
memories are then implanted. No, none of the 
supposed methods for recovering or detecting 
false memories work. Yes, there are some of you 
who've worked on SCP-231 and don't remember it. 

« No, we have not given up trying to save 

SCP-231-7, but research in that field must be 

carried out with the utmost of caution. Based on 

the increased potency of each subsequent 

event associated with each subsequent SCP- 

specimen, there is a strong possibility that 

SCP-231-7's event could result in an XK 

class end-of-the-world scenario. This information is 

corroborated in notebooks recovered from the 
cultists (see document "Seven Brides, Seven 

Seals," SCP-231-Adjunct B). 

No, putting the poor girl out of her misery is NOT 

an option. Neither is drugging her. She has to be 

aware of what is going on for 110-Montauk to 
work. 


One final note: The Foundation does many distasteful 
things in the completion of our mission, but our mission 
is important enough that the price is one we must pay. 
Containment of SCP-231 is one of our most dangerous 
duties, not because of any direct danger to ourselves 
(like SCP-682) but because of the danger that our 
resolve will fail, that we will allow ourselves to either let 
down our guard due to sympathy for the suffering of an 
innocent, or that we will allow ourselves to become 
monsters through the performance of monstrous acts. 
Just do your jobs, and save the philosophizing for the 
shrink. 


once. Almost none of them got through; most of them 
were shot down by lasers and bullets and god knows 
what else before they got to their targets, but that was 
just a distraction anyways. The warheads we had hidden 
on our satellites vaporized or crippled their ships in orbit 
while their guns were busy tracking missiles, taking away 
their high ground. Then we launched every ship, plane, 
and tank we had at the rest of their grounded ships. 


It almost worked. We wiped out thousands of the things 
only to discover that they were all drones. Someone 
once told me that it was impossible to send humans to 
the stars because you'd never be able to carry enough 
food and water for a thousand-year journey and your 
body would never survive being frozen for that long. The 
only way we'd ever reach another solar system is if we 
sent nothing but eggs and embryos and let robots raise 
our kids when they got there.
