On 03/19/ , cleaning staff noticed a faint ticking sound from 
SCP-1244's lock box. This was reported to research staff who 
determined that it had been activated by itself after being locked 
away for nearly two months. Research staff were unable to 
determine what it was synced with, but the object has since been 
moved to a room adjacent to a cafeteria kitchen. Monitoring 
equipment shows that it occasionally activates and syncs with the 
microwave clock on the far side of the wall. Since this move, this is 
the only additional anomalous behavior that has been recorded.

SCP-1245: Whaling Ship 


Item #: SCP-1245 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Zeta-4, 
"Ahab's Antagonists", are currently tracking SCP-1245's movements 
aboard the Foundation ship SCPS Archimedes. The Archimedes is 
disguised as a destroyer from the US Navy, allegedly pursuing 
illegal whalers. Local naval officials are to be informed of the 
presence of illegal whalers in the area and reroute commercial and 
private traffic accordingly. 


SCP-1245 is currently located at Site-412, an abandoned harbour 
located in ; . The harbor's entrance has been blocked by 
stone, preventing escape. SCP-1245 is to remain anchored to the 
harbor bed at all times. Chains and anchors are to be inspected 
every week for signs of damage and repaired accordingly. 
Foundation ship SCPS Archimedes is to patrol the harbor's entrance 
at all times and deter unauthorized craft under the pretense of naval 
training exercises. 


Description: SCP-1245 is a -model factory whaling ship, 
approximately 120 meters in length. Nameplates and numbers are 
missing and are believed to have been removed prior to acquisition. 
SCP-1245 appears to be autonomous; it has been seen pursuing 
whales and incapacitating them via cannon-mounted harpoons (see 
Observation Log 1245- - for video footage) before dragging them 
into SCP-1245. No crew members have been observed anywhere 
inside SCP-1245. SCP-1245 has been observed hunting and 
processing a wide variety of cetaceans, including stock not usually 
hunted by whalers. Unusual specimens gathered by SCP-1245 
include dolphins (family Delphinidae), orca whales (Orcinus orca), 
beaked whales (family Ziphiidae), and narwhals and belugas (family 
Monodontidae). 


The majority of SCP-1245's internal structure is taken up by a 
central "slaughterhouse", where whale carcasses are dissected and 
their parts sorted for future use. SCP-1245 uses tissue obtained 
from whale carcasses to maintain its structure and build new 
additions to its hull. It is estimated that roughly 65% of SCP-1245's 
current mass is made up of whale components. Exploration teams 
have documented several rooms and decks constructed entirely of 
whale meat; several of these appear to be significantly altered from 
their original specifications. These include automated assembly lines 
built from ligaments and muscles, an on-board crane composed 
from vertebrae and ribs, a secondary rudder composed of baleen 
and bone, and a communications deck, with several intact whale 
brains connected to a central radio. 


Rotting or decaying parts are replaced with new components as new 
whale specimens are acquired and processed. Material is moved 
throughout the ship via a series of tubes composed from steel pipes 
and intestines. Significantly, the ship's engine has been heavily 
modified to burn whale oil and spermaceti, making the ship largely 
self-sufficient. 


The corpses of several infant whales in varying stages of 
decomposition adorn the prow of SCP-1245. These are believed to 
be trophies, collected during assaults on whale pods. 


SCP-1245 first came to the Foundation's attention on / /_, after 
several "ghost ship" sightings occurred off the coast of southern 
Australia, followed by a marked decline in local cetacean 
populations. Mobile Task Force Zeta-4 "Ahab's Antagonists" are 
currently tracking SCP-1245's movements. Revised. See Incident 
Log 1245-043 for more information pertaining to containment 
revision. 


On // ,SCP-1245 was successfully lured into Harbour by 
playing a pre-recorded whale song, and restrained by Mobile Task 
Force Zeta-4 in "Operation Baleen" (see Incident Log 1245-044 for 
full details and casualty report). Harbour was subsequently 
secured and renovated by Foundation staff, and was re-christened 
Site-412. 


Addendum 1245: On / /_ , Archivist discovered that the 


whaling ship Southern Star, a whaling ship of the same model as 
SCP-1245, disappeared and was deemed "sunk" in 1940. 


Addendum 1245-2: On // , SCP-1245 transmitted a message in 
Morse code to staff at Site-412. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation 
remain identical. 


WHALE WHALE NOW CUT THE SOFTNESS OF HOT 
MEAT, HARPOON WHALE WHALE WHALE, REPAIR 
OF THE HULL, DEPRIVE THEIR BODIES OF 
THOUGHT AND LIFE, BLUE GREY CACHALOT RIGHT 
REPAIR OF THE HUL [sic] THE KNIVES ARE TO DO 
THEIR IMPORTANT JOBS HARPOON HOOK CUT 
WHALE WHALE WHALE GIVE NOW NOW NOW NOW 
NOW NOW 


This message was repeated twenty-seven times before SCP-1245 
ceased transmission. Asof / / SCP-1245 has not released any 
further messages and does not respond to any messages sent by 
the Foundation.

Incident Log 1245-043 


Incident Report:1245-043 

SCP Involved: SCP-1245 

Date: 06/07/2011 

Location: Northern Alaska; coordinates / / 


Preamble: MTF Zeta-4 had been monitoring SCP-1245's 
movements for six months prior to the incident. Under previous 
containment procedures, operatives were dispatched to nearby 
coastal towns to warn local government officials about illegal 
whaling activity and to temporarily shut down nearby shipping lanes 
as SCP-1245 entered and left the area. Here, however, SCP-1245 
was assaulted by members of " ", a vigilante anti-whaling 
group who had bypassed quarantine in an attempt to put a stop to 
what was perceived as illegal whaling. 


2:03 PM: The Archimedes is contacted by a vigilante group calling 
itself " ", asking if the crew of the Archimedes requires 
assistance in prosecuting illegal whaling. Crew aboard the 
Archimedes respond in the negative and order their ship turned 
around immediately. " " responds in the negative and 
terminates radio contact. 


2:32 PM: Archimedes attempts to intercept the boat. Zeta-4 
attempts to raise radio contact and issues a final warning to turn 
back, under pain of arrest. This radio message is also ignored. The 
vigilante's boat manages to bypass the Archimedes and proceeds to 
make contact with SCP-1245. Archimedes moves towards the 
vigilante boat's position and prepares to administer amnesetics to all 
individuals aboard the ship. 


2:45 PM: It is believed that the vigilante boat made visual contact 
with SCP-1245 at this time. SCP-1245 is tracked moving at 


approximately 15 knots. 


2:53 PM: The Archimedes arrives alongside SCP-1245 and the 
vigilante's boat. Apparently undeterred by its appearance, the 
vigilante boat begins a non-lethal assault on SCP-1245 with two 
high-pressure water cannons mounted on the hull of their ship. 
SCP-1245 does not react and continues moving in a south-easterly 
direction. 


2:55 PM: The vigilante boat moves closer to SCP-1245 (approx. 20 
metres away from SCP-1245) and continues attacking SCP-1245. 
Protestors hurl several flash grenades onto SCP-1245's deck to no 
apparent effect. SCP-1245 begins to decrease in speed and sounds 
its horn. 


2:56 PM: SCP-1245 turns and begins moving towards the vigilante 
boat, increasing speed as it does so. SCP-1245 begins a 
counterattack by launching several harpoons at the crew from 
recessed ports in its hull. The harpoons lodge themselves in the 
ship's hull and impede the movement of the vigilante ship. The 
vigilante ship attempts escape but fails, damaging its outermost hull 
in the process. SCP-1245 then "vomits" liquid from its prow, 
breaching its hull.1. 


2:58 PM: The Archimedes launches two dinghies in an attempt to 
rescue personnel aboard the ship. Twelve members of the crew are 
rescued before SCP-1245 rams the ship, destroying it. MTF member 
04 ( my ee ) was lost during the rescue operation and is 
presumed dead. SCP-1245 drags the wreckage of the ship onto its 
deck before resuming its original course, ignoring the Archimedes. 


3:15 PM: Crew members are brought aboard the Archimedes and 
administered amnesiacs before being returned to the local harbor. 


3:59 PM: Crew member , while monitoring SCP-1245 
from afar, notes that SCP-1245 appears to slow down and dump 
several tonnes of metal overboard before resuming its course. 


We cannot allow another incident such as this. More stringent 
containment measures are to be implemented within the month. -Dr.

stomachs. 


SCP-1246: Stone Spiral 


Item #: SCP-1246 
Object Class: Euclid-nuntii 


Special Containment Procedures: Site 1246 has been constructed 
around SCP-1246 in order to maintain secrecy, house personnel 
assigned to SCP-1246, and prevent accumulation of fauna. 


SCP-1246 is contained in a cylindrical tank of water seventeen 
meters in diameter and one meter in height. Several pumps are 
maintained to circulate water over SCP-1246 at a rate sufficient to 
prevent the accumulation of SCP-1246-1. Once removed from 
SCP-1246’s tank, SCP-1246-1 is to be filtered from the water and 
stored in concrete containers lined with steel. 


All iterations of SCP-1246-3 are to be recorded and logged. 
Amnestics are to be administered to all personnel at Site 1246 
should SCP-1246-3 contain classified information. 


Description: SCP-1246 is a spiral structure approximately fifteen 
meters in diameter composed of a variety of stones. Individual 
stones may be removed from SCP-1246 and destroyed without 
difficulty; however, SCP-1246 will soontaneously and 
instantaneously reform in its entirety on an irregular basis regardless 
of damage done.! 


Through an unknown process, a mixture consisting primarily of 
volcanic ash with trace amounts of iridium accumulates on 
SCP-1246's surface, increasing in depth at an approximate rate of 
0.8mm/day. This mixture, designated SCP-1246-1, emits water 
vapor, carbon dioxide, thermal radiation, and ionizing radiation, all in 
levels not considered harmful to humans or the environment in the 
short term. 


SCP-1246-2 is a designation given to any non-human vertebrate 


that view all or part of SCP-1246, or any other member of 
SCP-1246-2.2 These vertebrates will approach SCP-1246 and, short 
of coming into contact with it or displacing any other SCP-1246-2, 
find a spot as close to the structure as possible. Should this be 
accomplished, SCP-1246-2 will focus on SCP-1246. If the center is 
not visible due to the presence of other animals or other 
obstructions, SCP-1246-2 will instead focus on a point above 
SCP-1246. 


SCP-1246-2 will remain in an alert state indefinitely. While viewing 
SCP-1246, SCP-1246-2 instances do not appear to require any form 
of sustenance or sleep, and do not suffer from inactivity-related 
injuries such as atrophy. Further, specimens do not age, nor are 
they affected by diseases or environmental factors, including 
SCP-1246-1. Removal of SCP-1246-2 from the presence of 
SCP-1246 will both remove them from their fixed state and cause 
the associated biological abnormalities to cease. 


SCP-1246 will demonstrate further anomalous behavior whenever a 
nuclear device is detonated on Earth.3 Whenever an event of this 
nature occurs, SCP-1246 will emit a series of noises, designated 
SCP-1246-3, audible up to thirty meters from its center. These 
noises are audible only to humans and electronic recording media; 
non-electronic recording devices and non-human animals do not 
respond to SCP-1246-3 or recordings of it. SCP-1246-3 lasts no less 
than 13 minutes and 30 seconds, and varies somewhat between 
iterations. A generalized transcript is available for personnel with 
Clearance 2/1246 (see below). The transcript applies to all iterations 
of SCP-1246-3 unless noted otherwise. 


Addendum: Transcript of SCP-1246-3 
<Begin Log> 


0:00 to 7:43: What is believed to be ambient noise from 
an unidentified urban area. Volume rises until 7:43, then 
cuts off. Screams are audible from 6:19 to 7:43. 


7:43 to 11:22: The sound of a clock ticking once per 
second. Echoes are audible. 


11:22 to 12:00: A series of animal vocalizations arranged 
in a manner that is reminiscent of the phrase "You know 
what you've done", repeated in twenty languages. Both 
the languages in question and their order varies with 
each iteration. 


12:00 to 12:21: Silence. 


12:21 to 12:25: A series of animal vocalizations arranged 
in a manner that is reminiscent of the phrase "No, and 
we never will be." 


12:25 to 13:14: Forty-nine seconds of monologue. While 
variable between iterations, in each case, the speaker 
has been a current or former leader of a nation or 
organization in the possession of nuclear devices. The 
content of the monologue consistently centers on foreign 
policy. All monologues documented thus far have 
corresponded to speeches delivered by the leader in 
question. 


13:14 to 13:30: A sequence of eight digits as expressed 
in Morse code via telegraph key, varying for each 
iteration. 


<End Log> 


Addendum: When interpreted as a date in the form DD/MM/YYYY, 
the final sequence of digits in SCP-1246-3 corresponds to a date no 
less than two centuries in the future. On three occasions, the date 
30/07/2071 has occurred. The significance of this date has been 
classified by O5 Command. 


Footnotes 

1. Further analysis has shown that this event has roughly a 40% 
chance of occurring every time a solar flare occurs, without regard to 
the size of said flare. 

2. In an uncontained state, this can create a chain effect of animals 
being converted into SCP-1246-2. Caution should be taken to avoid 
such an event. 

3. The use of nuclear fission or fusion as an energy source does not 


trigger SCP-1246.

SCP-1247: LaBeouf Viewer 


Item #: SCP-1247 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: In the event of a containment 
breach, SCP-1247 is to be treated as a physically normal, untrained 
human hostile. Personnel are warned that SCP-1247 is 
psychologically unstable and cannot distinguish between organisms. 
Use of lethal force to detain SCP-1247 is not authorised. 


SCP-1247 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment 
cell. Standard humanoid SCP containment procedures apply. The 
cell must be proofed against penetration by vermin and insects. 


No personnel may make physical contact with SCP-1247 unless 
they fit the following physical specifications: 


¢ Anatomically male 

¢ Height within 5 cm of 176 cm 

¢ Weight within 10 kg of 74 kg 

¢ Anatomically standard number and positioning of limbs, digits, 
and appendages (ears, nose, etc.) 


Full specifications must be verified before physical contact with 
SCP-1247 can be authorised. Specifications may be waived during 
relevant testing. 


SCP-1247 is currently undergoing a process of psychological 
rehabilitation. To assist in this process, all personnel entering its 
quarters must wear face-obscuring masks, and must not wear any 
clothing items or accessories made of or incorporating leather. 


SCP-1247 is required to attend bi-weekly therapy sessions with Dr. 
Zhang from 3:00 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. Session length 
should not exceed one hour, but reasonable exceptions may be
