Personnel have been able to communicate with affected subjects via 
the use of a parrot, which imitated sounds produced by researchers. 
Following this, research personnel were able to communicate with 
SCP-1559 affected subjects directly by imitating the tone of the 
parrots. Further testing has shown that D-Class personnel are able 
to recognize any sound capable of being reproduced by a parrot, as 
long as they have heard a parrot reproduce the sound. Further 
testing has shown that parrots, mockingbirds, and doctored 
recordings of birdsong previously heard by the subject can be used 
to circumvent SCP-1559's effect. Further testing is currently being 
done in Site-77. 


Footnotes 

1. In addition to non-anomalous urban regions, SCP-1559 has also 
been found inThree Portlands,Backdoor SoHo, and theChugoku 
Cellar. 

2. This effect does not apply to subjects suffering from tinnitus, or to 
sound perceived via bone conduction.

SCP-1560: Extradimensional Albatross 


Item #: SCP-1560 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As living specimens of 
SCP-1560 currently cannot be contained by any means available to 
the Foundation, Mobile Task Force Lambda-4 "Birdwatchers" is 
currently tasked with tracking known populations of SCP-1560. 
Deceased specimens of SCP-1560 are stored in standard cryogenic 
biological storage units at Site , and personnel may gain access to 
said specimens with prior permission from at least two (2) Level 3 
Senior Researchers. 


Description: SCP-1560 is a species of animal of presumed 
extradimensional origin resembling Thalassarche melanophrys, or 
the Black-Browed Albatross, with the notable exception of its 
unusually large size, eyes, and complete lack of legs or feet. Adult 
SCP-1560 can grow to wingspans of over 3.8m (approximately three 
times that of T. melanophrys), and appear to have lifespans 
exceeding that of the duration under which the Foundation has had 
SCP-1560 under observation (approximately years). SCP-1560's 
eyes differ greatly from that of terrestrial avians, as they have 
compound eyes that have been determined via testing to be 
extraordinarily sensitive to ultraviolet light. 


SCP-1560 populations exist in small familial groups at an altitude of 
no less than 8,100 m above sea level, of which the Foundation is 
currently tracking six (6) eight (8) fifteen (15) Known families. 
SCP-1560's behavior is similar to that of a terrestrial marine avian, 
with the exception that SCP-1560 does not land, and only drops 
below an altitude of 8,100 m to feed, at which point specimens 
completely disappear for a period of five (5) to ten (10) minutes. 
Long-range photography and extensive study of the behavior of 
SCP-1560 suggests that hunting specimens displace into an 
extradimensional space inhabited by a species of large cephalopod 


which form the primary diet of SCP-1560; SCP-1560 specimens 
often bear wounds or scars similar to those seen on sperm whales 
that hunt deep-sea giant squid. 


To date, the Foundation has not been able to capture a live 
specimen for study. When injured or trapped, SCP-1560 specimens 
will spontaneously extradimensionally displace, regardless of current 
altitude. Attempts to tranquilize specimens have ended in the same 
result, and in most cases tranquilized specimens have not returned 
and are presumed deceased. As SCP-1560 appear to be minimally 
intelligent and have begun to develop an aversion to Foundation 
observation aircraft, further attempts to capture SCP-1560 
specimens have been indefinitely suspended. 


Addendum 1560-01: Log of Significant SCP-1560 Individuals 


Designation: SCP-1560-01 

Description: The largest and oldest known specimen, SCP-1560-01 
appears to be a highly intelligent male with a wingspan of 3.86 m. It 
was an adult at time of documentation and is still alive after years 
of Foundation observation, thus making it the current baseline of 
maximum lifespan for SCP-1560. SCP-1560-01 led a flock of eight 
(8) specimens, of which one disappeared and has not been seen 
since the Foundation's attempt to capture it. SCP-1560-01 is mildly 
aggressive and will chase off Foundation aircraft that approach 
within 500 m of its flock. 


Designation: SCP-1560-08 

Description: A mature female specimen, SCP-1560-08 was 
observed on // to disappear for a period of approximately 
eighteen (18) minutes, after which it reappeared with three (3) 
apparently newborn specimens of SCP-1560, designated 
SCP-1560-29, SCP-1560-30 and SCP-1560-31. 


Designation: SCP-1560-21 

Description: SCP-1560-21 reappeared badly wounded from a 
"hunting dive" on / / . It managed to stay airborne in a state of 
extreme distress for approximately one hour before succumbing to 
its injuries and falling out of the sky, after which it was retrieved by 
MTF Lambda-4 members. SCP-1560-21's remains are cryogenically 
frozen at Site , as well as its stomach contents and the fragments 


of barbed tentacle that were embedded in its wounds. 


Designation: SCP-1560-28 
Description: [DATA EXPUNGED]. Wreckage of Roc One-Niner 
retrieved from crash site with no complications. No survivors. 


Addendum 1560-02: Observer Note 


To date, SCP-1560 have only ever been observed 
cruising in an East-to-West direction, regardless of 
prevailing winds or hemisphere. The significance of this 
discovery is under investigation. 


Dr. 
Addendum 1560-03: Observer Note 


While we have been extraordinarily lucky so far, the 
nominal cruising altitude of SCP-1560 combined with 
their large size and increasing numbers means that it's 
only a matter of time before we have an incident with a 
civilian aircraft involved. Until such time that a permanent 
containment procedure can be developed, we may have 
to consider culling SCP-1560's numbers by 
exterminating one or more of their flocks.

SCP-1561: The Tyrant's Pretext 


Kingly Item #: His Majesty's SCP-MDLXI 
Royal Object Class: Glorious 


Regal Containment Decree: His Majesty's SCP-MDLXI is currently 
being worn by King Data the Expunged within the Kingdom of Site 
Redacted and is to be guarded by at least 10 Knights at all times. 


As His Majesty's SCP-MDLXI poses a memetic hazard, all 
information regarding The Royal Crown is limited to level 4 
aristocrats and above. Testing His Majesty's Crown is henceforth 
forbidden. This was the Law of the Heretic Council, before the days 
of Data the Redacted. See Royal Decree MDLXI-| 


Description: His Majesty's SCP-MDLXI is a glorious golden crown 
wrought by the finest smith and crafted with the most expensive 
jewels in the land. The object's sorcery is caused when His 
Majesty's crown is spoken, worn or inscribed about. 


When bestowed upon the unworthy head of a common male 
peasant, commoners who art within viewing distance shalt see the 
unworthy wearer as the highest authority that they hath ever met. 
These subjects are born anew when the king is crowned and thusly 
take upon themselves new roles befitting of their previous stature. 
‘Guards' become knights, 'scientists' become Royal Scholars, and 
other commoners become peasants. Peasants under His rule shalt 
also feel the rightly obligation to fashion a robe out of the finest 
material at hand, sometimes using their own filthy garments, for the 
new righteous King to wear. 


The newly crowned King also develops a magnificent sense of 
ruling, which empowers him to build a royal army of knights and 
establish his kingdom. The unworthy wearer shalt also grow a 
glorious beard and mustache to better befit his position. These 
effects wither away when the Royal Crown is willingly removed or 


when the unworthy subject dies. 


Men who have not directly witnessed the greatness of the Royal 
Crown can resist its resoluteness and art to be branded heretics, 
banished from the land, or otherwise executed at His Majesty's 
pleasure. 


Inscriptions and any speech that regard His Majesty's SCP-MDLXI 
also alter to befit the King's ascended status. Mere knowledge of His 
Majesty's SCP-MDLXI shalt cause a compulsion to refer to The 
Royal Crown justly as his Majesty's SCP-MDLXI. It is also worthy to 
note that indirect reference to His Majesty's SCP-MDLXI negates 
these effects. 


Council Decree MDLXI-I: During frivolous testing upon his 
majesty's crown, an unworthy D-Commoner placed His Majesty's 
SCP-MDLXI upon his head and subsequently ruled the Kingdom of 
Site-[REDACTED] for 3 months before he was beheaded during the 
Great Revelation. So it was upon that day that the Great Council of 
O5 decreed that nary a frivolous test shall be undertaken, lest 
another misfortune fall upon us. 


Royal Decree MDLXI-I: As of last winter, on the Day of First Snow, 
a new king was crowned. All hail His Majesty King Data the 
Expunged, he who fights the Shameful Council of Profligates! Ruler 
of the Kingdom of Site Redacted! Long live the king! 


Note: This isn't the official SCP report, but it's the best we can do at 
this point. All research data regarding His Majesty's SCP-1561 was 
deleted during Incident 1561-2 and this was provided with Document 
1561-2. Until Incident 1561-2 is resolved, this will have to suffice. - 
Dr. 


LEVEL 4 AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED 


Incident 1561-1: On / /20 , His Majesty's SCP-1561 
was discovered missing from containment. Security 
tapes in the areaon / 20 from 15:00 to 19:00 were 
found to be erased. When the guards assigned to the 
shifts in that area were questioned, they became violent 
and attempted to harm several personnel. All but one 


subject could be subdued without use of lethal force, but 
committed suicide immediately after he was interviewed 
(see Interview 1561-1). These personnel were assumed 
under the influence of His Majesty's SCP-1561. Effective 
immediately, Site-[REDACTED] is under lockdown until 
His Majesty's SCP-1561 is recovered. 


UPDATE: The issue has been resolved and Site- 
[REDACTED] has resumed operations. 


Note: Who authorized this? -O5- 
Interview 1561-1: 
Interviewed: Sgt. White 
Interviewer: Pvt. White 


Foreword: The following interview took place 
after Incident MDLXI-1. Sgt. | White was 
captured. He refused to speak to any 
personnel and struggled against his restraints 
until his brother Pvt. White was brought in 
an attempt to divulge information regarding His 
Majesty's SCP-1561. 


<Begin Log> 


Pvt. : ?_ , it's me. Stop doing that, 
you're gonna hurt yourself. 


SOtes att ee! 

Pvt. —: Yeah, c'mon bro, snap out of it. 

Sgt. : You don't know what a relief it is to 
speak to you, brother. | thought they would've 
killed you. 


Pvt. : Who would've killed me? You're not 
making any sense. 


Sgt. :[whispering] The heretics,  , they're 
everywhere. The King was right. The King is 
always right. 


Pvt. =: What heretics, what king? Snap out 
of it. Do you know where His Majesty's 
SCP-1561 is? 


Sgt. : Where else brother? Upon the head 
of the true king, | myself have witnessed its 
resolute glory. Soon, the whole of this 
wretched site shall witness its glory as well. 
You shall see his glory too and you too shall 
believe. 


Pvt. :Whatdoyoumean, ? Where is the 
Royal Crown? Who is the true king? 


Sgt. : You shall soon enough know the glory 
of King Data the Expunged. 


Pvt. :[sighing] C'mon __, you don't believe 
all that crap, His Majesty's SCP-MDLXI is 
controlling you. Just tell me where the Royal 
Crown is and we can- 


Sgt. : Pity. 

Pvt. =: What? 

Sgt. _: [whispering] Pity that | won't be here 
to see the fall of the heretic council. [shouting, 
looking directly at the security camera] Est 
tempus nunc! Et Peregrinus incipit! Vivat Rex! 


<End Log> 


Closing statement: Sgt. became 
unresponsive to further questioning from Pvt. 


, who subsequently left. Security footage 
shows that Sgt. | managed to free himself 
from his restraints and ram his head against 
the wall several times, causing a fatal 
concussion. Translation of the phrases spoken 
at the end produce the lines ‘The time is now. 
The Crusade has begun. Long live the king.’ 
The exact purpose of these lines is unknown 
at this time.

-Dr [REDACTED] 


Incident 1561-2: Based on the information given in 
Document 1561-1, Site-[REDACTED] has been 
compromised. Most, if not all, personnel of Site- 
[REDACTED] are under the influence of His Majesty's 
SCP-1561, which is being used by an unknown person 
to aid in a insurgency against the O5 council. Mobile 
Task Force Eta-10 (aka "See No Evil") was sent in to 


recover His Majesty's SCP-1561, but was unsuccessful 
and lost most of its members, who are currently being 
psychologically evaluated. 


Efforts are to be focused on containing Site- 
[REDACTED] and prevention of His Majesty's 
SCP-1561's influence from spreading. Any personnel 
coming out of Site-[REDACTED] are to be tranquilized 
and treated with Class-C amnesiacs. Until further notice, 
personnel are not to approach, attempt to communicate 
with anyone within, or look directly at the site as it poses 
a memetic hazard. 


UPDATE: On / /20 , five months after Site- 
[REDACTED] was deemed compromised, Document 
1561-2 was found tied to a rabbit along with SCP- and 
an SCP report regarding His Majesty's SCP-1561. 
Document 1561-2 is a proposed treaty between the O5 
Council and the supposed ‘Kingdom of Site Redacted’ 
written by the ‘King’ himself. The presence of SCP- 

and textual evidence seem to indicate that several SCP 
containments have been breached. The document was 
sent to Overseer headquarters for verification. 


Document 1561-2: 


Greetings Council, | do hope this letter 
reaches you in good health, and that you bear 
no ill will towards my kingdom or its people. | 
understand that you might harbor resentment 
towards me, but | find that of little 
consequence. | beseech you to try not to think 
me a tyrant, but as an ally, in the fight against 
the greater enemy. Our shared enemy. 


What | am proposing is a treaty between our 
factions. My Kingdom of Site Redacted will 
continue in its original capacity and | will agree 
to receive orders from the Council, and in 
exchange you cease all attempts to invade my 
kingdom or harm its people. The details can be 


drawn at a later date, but these terms will be 
the foundation of our mutual partnership. 


As a symbol of my good will, | have fastened 
to this creature SCP- along with a document 
written by one of my scribes detailing the 
attributes of my Most Royal Crown. Mind you, 
not all reports we produce will be written in this 
manner, it is just an effect my Regalia has on 
my subjects. | shall send a draft of our treaty 
next winter, on the first full moon. 


Please do not try to fool me. | still have many 
objects of sorcery and there art many a man 
who would gladly die for me, within and 
without the Kingdom. 


-The Most Glorious King Data the Expunged, 
Ruler of the Kingdom of Site Redacted
