SCP-3109: Indeterminate Source 


SCP Foundation InfoSec/PR 
Statement 


The existence of SCP-3109 may be publicly 
acknowledged, but must be limited to the following 
information: 


An indeterminate series of anomalous events is 
taking place in the vicinity of Kuiper Belt Object 
9987320 2448-U102. 

Foundation assets are working with various UN 
and Martian militaries to resolve and contain the 
situation. 

The environment of and space surrounding KBO 
2448-U102 is currently incompatible with sustained 
human presence. 

Informational security is being maintained in the 
event the situation results in the manifestation of 
dangerous memetic or infohazardous properties. 
Civilian equipment or persons attempting to enter 
the quarantine zone are subject to immediate 
destruction. Any civilian attempting to observe the 
quarantine zone is subject to detainment, amnestic 
therapy, or permanent containment as appropriate. 


KBO 2448-U102 as viewed from Enceladus Site-01. SCP-3109-1 


Visible in upper right quadrant. 


Item #: SCP-3109 


Object Class: Euclid! 


Special Containment Procedure: A Foundation automated 


quarantine zone is in effect around SCP-3109 at a distance of 

5,000 km. Astronomical observation, robotic and manned 
exploration of the body formerly known as KBO 2448-U102 is strictly 
prohibited to all civilian entities. 


UN and Martian Nation States are permitted to continue basic 
reconnaissance and observation of the object, subject to 
informational transparency with Foundation Assets and other 
involved Nation States. Data obtained from these observations must 
be classified Top Secret within their respective governments. Non- 
Foundation equipment entering the quarantine zone may not be 
retrieved under any circumstances. 


Exploration of SCP-3109 is subject to total loss at a rate of 40%. 
Surviving expeditions have internal loss rate exceeding 60%. All 
personnel assigned to SCP-3109 must be made aware of this prior 
to assignment. Exploration by D-Class Foundation assets must be 
voluntary by order of the Ethics Committee. Consent is not implied 
by prior voluntary D-Class service. 


Futher attempts to contact, sample, or neutralize SCP-3109-1 are 
prohibited. 


Description: SCP-3109 is a roughly spherical area centered on the 
newly discovered Kuiper Belt Object 2448-U102 with an 
approximate radius of 25,000 km. Material entering SCP-3109 may 
change in shape, size, chemical composition, and mass, and are 
also subject to various temporal and spatial distortions@. The area is 
also subject to random manifestation of simple and complex objects, 
both organic and inorganic, including artifacts normally only known 
to be manufactured by humans’. Unlike other reality-altering 
phenomena observed within Foundation accessible space, Kant 
readings within the region consistently align with the vacuum 
background level of 0.92 and 1.05 Humes. 


SCP-3109-1 is an unidentified anomalous entity or object which 
exists in the vicinity of KBO 2448-U102 at a distance ranging 
between 0 and 10,000 km of the planetoid's surface. Though 
SCP-3109-1 is corporeal and visible to lidar, spectroscopic analysis 
of its composition remains inconclusive, suggesting composition of 
some exotic form of matter. Despite consistent changes in position, 


SCP-3109-1 does not move in the classical sense. Though apparent 
movement can be measured at either the leading or trailing edge, 
photographic and video evidence confirms that the bulk of 
SCP-3109-1 remains stationary at all times. The object proceeds 
through space by manifesting additional material at its leading edge, 
and annihilating material at its trailing edge. Due to this, SCP-3109-1 
is capable of apparently instantaneous movement and acceleration 
in any direction. 


Whenever SCP-3109-1 approaches within 200 km of KBO 2448- 
U102's surface, the planetoid's topography, environment, and 
chemical composition are subject to radical changes. Alteration 
becomes more severe as SCP-3109-1's proximity increases. 
Observed alterations include manifestation of oxygen atmosphere, 
spontaneous generation of living organic material, creation of new 
mountain ranges, liquefaction of the planetoid's crust, and 
spontaneous nuclear explosion. Despite continued contact with 
SCP-3109-1, KBO 2448-U102's orbit remains stable, and remote 
measurements of its mass remain unchanged. 


Discovery: On 14 September 2448 CE, automated Martian deep- 
system survey equipment on Ganymede identified the 4th inclination 
of a new Kuiper Belt object approximately 1060 km in radius, and 
granted the designation KBO 2448-U102. Analysis of photographic 
data from the planetoid identified several unidentifiable anomalies in 
its observed brightness. Martian Navy assets dispatched a long 
distance probe to perform basic reconnaissance in hopes of 
retrieving additional water ice and complex organics from the site to 
stabilize deficits in Martian planetary eco-forming and asteroid belt 
holdings. 


The probe entered local KBO 2448-U102 space on 05 January 2449 
and began transmitting still images of the planetoid along with 
inconclusive spectroscopic analysis of another large (>200km in 
length) object apparently in orbit. Transmission continued for 37 
minutes before the probe abruptly failed for unknown reasons (See 
Figure 1 Above). 


Martian Naval intelligence quickly notified UN Spacy and Foundation 
assets of possible anomalous activity, detained all persons directly 
exposed to the feed, and turned over their records to the Foundation 


national prosperity. Those specimens originated from a single 
SCP-392 seed, which was among the gifts from Emperor Yang of 
the Sui Dynasty in response to tribute sent by Japanese envoys. 
This practice originated from a description of SCP-392 by the envoy 
Ono no Imoko, alleging it to be a symbol of prosperity only found in 
the households of nobility. 


Addendum 392-2: Due to the mention of the Sui Dynasty and 
confirmation of Daevite involvement, a copy of A History of China 
altered by SCP-140 to include Daevite-Chinese interactions was 
consulted for additional information. 


The book mentioned SCP-392 as one of the items looted from 
captured Daevite cities by Chinese soldiers as early as the Warring 
States period (c. 475 BCE — 221 BCE). SCP-392 would be 
cultivated by these soldiers, who harvested and skinned the heads. 
The skulls would then be passed off as executed enemy combatants 
and presented to officials in exchange for promotion and other 
rewards (e.g. peerage titles, lands, slaves). 


The descendants of many clans involved in SCP-392 cultivation 
gained prominent positions in various Chinese dynasties, up to the 
imperial families of various dynasties. See Document 392-Su for 
more information on the topic. 


Addendum 392-371: Specialised Containment Proposal — Project 
YIN-YANG (Subcategory: Argus-100)4 


The following proposal consists of a cross-test between SCP-392 
and SCP-2733. Usage of SCP-392 and SCP-2733 circumnavigate 
ethical issues regarding the use of a live human, and long-term 
maintenance of a live observer. Said cross-test consists of the 
following phases: 


1. One D-class personnel will be involved in the tending of 
SCP-392 for a period of one month, and will not be involved in 
other SCP projects. This is to facilitate priming. 

2. Said personnel will then be instructed to open SCP-2733 while 
thinking of SCP-392. Due to SCP-2733's anomalous effects, it 
is hypothesised that a head will manifest. 

3. SCP-2733 will be kept opened for a test period of one year to 


in compliance with DSAAD4 Article 1. 


UN Spacy assets revealed at that time that an additional, manned 
mission was in transit to KBO 2448-U102 as of 16 September 2448 
in an attempt to establish a sovereign base on the planetoid for 
future Kuiper Belt operations, flying under radio blackout which 
would not be lifted by the crew until planned transmission on 07 
February. Under duress, UN Spacy assets authorized the release of 
vessel designation and yielded contact frequencies and command of 
the mission to the Foundation on 12 January.

Foreword: The following is a transcript of 
transmission between Foundation Site 
Enceladus-01 and Frigate Class Vessel "UNV 
"on 07 February 2449. Mission 
objective, Fact-Finding regarding possible 
anomalous activity surrounding KBO 2448- 
U102. Conversation carried out over Direct 
Wave communication at 15 minute delay. 


Participants: SCP Researcher Marconi Van 
Allen; UN Spacy Captain Park, — - 


Researcher Van Allen: United Nations Vessel 
, this is researcher Marconi Van Allen of 

the SCP Foundation. We have been granted 

jurisdiction over this vessel by Admiral 

under DSAAD Article 5. Please Respond with 

your mission status as soon as possible. 


Captain Park: SCP Researcher, this is a UN 
Spacy restricted frequency. No further 

communication will be acknowledged until we 
receive confirmation from Admiral herself. 


Admiral provided verification through UN 
Spacy's on-world vessel. Conversation 


resumed after 45 minutes of radio silence. 


Captain Park: SCP Site Enceladus-01, this 
uh... This is Captain Park reporting. I'm sorry, 
you have us at a loss. We're uh... This is a 
torpedo bomber designed for running military 
blockades. Just about the only thing we do is 
move fast, take pictures, and shoot back. 


Researcher Van Allen: Captain, | understand 
this is outside your normal mission 
parameters, and I'm very sorry. This situation 
is still evolving, and it's important for the safety 
of humanity that we not miss this opportunity 
to get important intelligence on KBO 2448- 
U102. You're equipped with video equipment, 
lidar, and a spectrometer, correct? Just that 
can tell us a lot. 


Captain Park: Enceladus, yes that's correct. 
But you can imagine, getting a call from the 
Foundation is not good news in deep space. 
We'll participate in the mission, but | need you 
to know that my crew and my ship come first 
and your intel comes second. I'd rather face a 
Court Martial than... | need some assurance 
that you're not going to screw us. 


Researcher Van Allen: Understood, ; 
we are classing you as a provisional Class E 
asset. That makes your safety our top priority. 
Based on our telemetry, by the time you get 
this you'll be within 10,000 km of the object. | 
need you to perform a HARD deceleration 
burn as soon as possible. We don't know how 
far out this thing reaches yet. The farther away 
you can park, the better. Then point the 
forward array at the planetoid and send us 
anything you get back. 


Telemetry data shows UNV begins 


deceleration at 3G prior to stop 5000 km from 
the surface of KB 2448-U102. Data stream 
connected. Analysis reveals composition of 
complex organics, water ices, methane, 
amonia, carbondioxide, oxygen, and trace 
metals. 


Captain Park: Enceladus, this... You should 
know that none of this is right. I'm looking at 
U102 out the window right now and it's a dead 
rock. No sign of anything like what the spec is 
showing. We're going to resend. 


Data stream connected. Analysis reveals 
object is composed primarily of heavy metals, 
with highest concentrations of iron, cobalt, 
titanium, and uranium. Traces of silicates also 
present. 


Captain Park: Enceladus, I'm really 
wondering if there's something wrong with our 


Alarm klaxon is audible on tape. Red proximity 
alarm is visible on video feed. 


Captain Park: Red Alert! Strap in, NOW. 
Helmsman, evade! Enceladus base, 
unidentified object rapidly approaching. We - 


A loud crash is audible. Video displays sudden 
lateral acceleration in the bridge. 


Captain Park: Shit, starboard hull puncture. 
Seal that Deck! Enceladus, we are officially 
aborting. Mr. Kim, bring me the Sun! 


Telemetry indicates vessel begins retreat 
under 8G thrust for twenty minutes before 
slowing to 0.3 G. Contact reestablished. 


Captain Park: Mr. Van Allen, if you still read, 
here's our situation. During our last 
transmission the was attacked by an... 
entity? A ship? A geometric crystaline... shape 
of some kind. | don't know exactly how, but it 
changed size, shape, speed, color... We'll 
send you video now but... | could barely see it. 
Rodriquez in weapons thinks it was hiding in 
the shadow of our planetoid. Lidar didn't even 
see it until it was 20km away. Right now we're 
limping home. The contents of our galley, a 
significant portion of our atmo, and about 
2/3rds of our Deuterium vented into space 
during that last burn. Still leaking a little air. We 
have... Rod what was it? Two weeks operation 
time at current thrust. That'll put us just inside 
Saturn's orbit and about another week from 
your position before we're sunk. Please 
advise. 


Researcher Van Allen: Captain Park, you and 
your crew did wonderfully. Foundation vessels 
will rendezvous with you at attached 
coordinates in nine days. Keep in touch. 


Afterword: UNV retrieved without 
incident. Ship's engineer, Lieutenant Velma 
Wirth, deceased of acute radiation exposure. 
All surviving crew members demonstrate 
various stages of radiation sickness. Radiation 
source unknown. Crew, vessel, and all 
material inside vessel subject to decrease in 
volume and mass of 0.2%. UNV outer 
hull perforated in 47 places. Metallic distortion 
suggests punctures originated from between 
layers 5 and 7 of hull plating. No foreign 
material recovered from damage sites or within 
the vessel.
