All personnel assigned to SCP-2317 must rotate out for 
one month of psychological counseling after two months 
on-site. Personnel assigned to SCP-2317 must undergo 
heavy psychological testing before being cleared to enter 
the site. Individuals must score at least 72 points on the 
Milgram Obedience Examination, be unmarried, have no 
offspring, and express nothing less than total loyalty to 
the Foundation. 


While on-site, individuals assigned to SCP-2317 will be 
issued concealing helmets with integrated voice 
changers to protect their identity. On-site staff are not to 
remove said uniforms in the presence of other staff 
members. Off-duty hours are to be spent in private 
quarters alone. 


A Class D Personnel with a background as a convicted 
murderer is to be assigned to SCP-2317 each month for 
the purposes of carrying out Procedure 220-Calabasas. 
During Procedure 220-Calabasas, at least one staff 
member with Security Clearance 3/2317 must monitor 


the procedure at all times. Following the procedure, all 
Class D Personnel must return to their holding cells or 
explosive collars will be detonated. 


Prior paragraph revised as follows: One staff 
member with Security Clearance 4/2317 will 
be assigned each month as "Class-D 
Personnel" in order to act as assistant to the 
primary celebrant. Personnel without Security 
Clearance of Level 3 or higher will be told that 
the assistant is a Class-D personnel chosen 
from the normal pool of Class-D candidates. 
All persons directly involved with Procedure 
220-Calabasas are to be informed of this fact. 
No personnel shall be authorized to assist with 
Procedure 220-Calabasas without first being 
clearly briefed that the "assistant" is not, in 
fact, a Class-D Personnel, and should not be 
terminated in the event that they disobey direct 
orders from the guards. 


Description: SCP-2317 is a wooden door and frame 
originally constructed as a basement door for a 19th- 
century Massachusetts brownstone. Upon opening the 
door, any person stepping through the door frame will be 
transported to an alternate reality. 


Exploration of the alternate reality (SCP-2317-Prime) is 
limited, but the area directly accessible through 
SCP-2317 is a salt pan several kilometers in radius. A 
circle of seven pillars (SCP-2317-A through SCP-2317- 
G) are positioned in a ten-meter diameter circle 
approximately ten meters directly in front of SCP-2317. 
Each pillar is approximately one meter in diameter, and 
seven meters tall, constructed of marble and engraved 
with a series of intricate bas-reliefs. The art style of the 
engravings do not correspond to that of any known 
modern, historic, or prehistoric civilization. 


Addendum 1: Procedure 220-Calabasas: Procedure 
220-Calabasas is a ritual to be performed at solar noon 


each day (defined as the moment when the sun reaches 
its height over SCP-2317). Performing Procedure 220- 
Calabasas requires the following: 


as 


Two armed Foundation security personnel with 
Security Clearance of Level 3 or higher (hereafter 
referred to as "guards").

One obsidian-edged knife (hereafter referred to as 
"blade"). 

One silver aspergillum and aspersorium, filled with 
at least 500 ccs of holy water blessed by a priest 
of Abrahamaic faith. 


. Celebrant, guards, and assistant open SCP-2317, 


step through, and enter SCP-2317 Prime. 
Assistant will enter first, followed by guards, 
followed by celebrant. Guards will, at all times, 
maintain situational awareness of assistant, and 
should be prepared to prevent escape with deadly 
force. 


. Beginning with the pillar closest to and in-line with 


SCP-2317 (SCP-2317-A), celebrant 
circumambulates SCP-2317-A through SCP-2317- 
G, proceeding counter-clockwise at an even and 
measured pace. At every other step, celebrant will 
scatter holy water, using the aspergillum and 
aspersorium, in the direction of the circle's center. 


. Upon completing one circumambulation of 


SCP-2317-A-G, celebrant scatters holy water over 
the head of the assistant and recites the following 
phrase: " ; : a 


. [DATA EXPUNGED] 
. Assistant then circumambulates SCP-2317-A-G in 


a clockwise direction, scattering the mixture of 
blood and holy water in the direction of the circle's 
center. 

6. Upon completing one circumambulation of 
SCP-2317-A-G, assistant walks to the center of 
the circle of stones and pours the remaining 
mixture of blood and water onto the discolored 
patch of salt and sand in the center, while reciting 
the following phrase: " ; 

7. All materials are gathered up, the obsidian knife is 
secured, and all personnel return through 
SCP-2317, which is subsequently closed. 


Failure at any point to properly perform Procedure 220- 
Calabasas may result in an XK-Class End of the World 
Scenario. Should any mishap or failure occur, all 
personnel are to return immediately through SCP-2317, 
closing the door behind them. The containment chamber 
will be immediately locked down, and a Level Two 
Emergency declared and reported to the O5 Council. 
Further instructions will be provided to on-site personnel 
according to Emergency Order Zachariah.

DISPLAYING SCP-2317, CLEARANCE LEVEL 4 


SCP-2317 


Item #: SCP-2317 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2317 is to be 
secured at Containment Area-179 in a reinforced 3m x 
3m x 38m containment chamber. Armed guards are to be 
in place at all times in order to prevent unauthorized 
access to the facility. 


All personnel assigned to SCP-2317 must rotate out for 
one month of psychological counseling after two months 
on-site. Personnel assigned to SCP-2317 must undergo 
heavy psychological testing before being cleared to enter 
the site. Individuals must score at least 72 points on the 
Milgram Obedience Examination, be unmarried, have no 
offspring, and express nothing less than total loyalty to 
the Foundation. 


While on-site, individuals assigned to SCP-2317 will be 
issued concealing helmets with integrated voice 
changers to protect their identity. On-site staff are not to 
remove said uniforms in the presence of other staff 
members. Off-duty hours are to be spent in private 
quarters alone. 


One staff member with Security Clearance 4/2317 will be 
assigned each month as "Class-D Personnel" in order to 
act as assistant to the primary celebrant. Personnel 
without Security Clearance of Level 4 or higher will be 
told that the assistant is a Class-D personnel chosen 
from the normal pool of Class-D candidates. All persons 
directly involved with Procedure 220-Calabasas are to be 
informed of this fact. No personnel shall be authorized to 
assist with Procedure 220-Calabasas without first being 
clearly briefed that the "assistant" is not, in fact, a Class- 
D Personnel, and should not be terminated in the event 
that they disobey direct orders from the guards. 


Description: SCP-2317 is a wooden door and frame 
originally constructed as a basement door for a 19th- 
century Massachusetts brownstone. Upon opening the 
door, any person stepping through the door frame will be 
transported to an alternate reality. 


Exploration of the alternate reality (SCP-2317-Prime) is 
limited, but the area directly accessible through 
SCP-2317 is a salt pan several kilometers in radius. A 
circle of seven pillars (SCP-2317-A through SCP-2317- 
G) are positioned in a ten-meter diameter circle 
approximately ten meters directly in front of SCP-2317. 
Each pillar is approximately one meter in diameter, and 
seven meters tall, constructed of marble and engraved 
with a series of intricate bas-reliefs. The art style of the 
engravings do not correspond to that of any known 
modern, historic, or prehistoric civilization. SCP-231 7-A- 
G extend two hundred meters below the surface of the 
sand and into SCP-2317-H. 


SCP-2317-H is a spherical space one hundred 


kilometers in diameter located directly underneath 
SCP-2317-A-G, lined with the same stone used to 
construct SCP-2317-A-G. Contained within SCP-2317-H 
is SCP-2317-K, hereafter referred to as "entity." 


The following information has been inferred through 
seismic analysis and ground-penetrating radar, as well 
as direct observation: Entity appears to be an obese 
humanlike creature of immense proportions: estimated 
height if fully erect is over two hundred kilometers. Horns 
resembling tree branches sprout from its head, which 
lacks a lower jaw. Entire body is covered in millions of 
overlapping plate-like scales. Seven heavy hooks are 
embedded in the entity's back, each one attached to a 
heavy steel chain connected to the lower end of one of 
the seven pillars embedded in the ceiling of the chamber. 


At the time of the writing of this document, six of the 
pillars or chains have been broken or damaged, and only 
one chain remains intact. 


Addendum 2317-1: Procedure 220-Calabasas: 
Procedure 220-Calabasas is a ritual to be performed at 
solar noon each day (defined as the moment when the 
sun reaches its height over SCP-2317). Performing 
Procedure 220-Calabasas requires the following: 


* Two armed Foundation security personnel with 
Security Clearance of Level 3 or higher (hereafter 
referred to as "guards"). 

¢ One Foundation Personnel with Security 
Clearance of Level 4 (hereafter referred to as 
"celebrant." 

* One Class-D Personnel, as specified under 
Special Containment Procedures (hereafter 
referred to as "assistant.") 

* One live male Gallus domesticus, preferably caged 
to prevent complications during transport to 
SCP-2317-Prime (hereafter referred to as 
"chicken.") 

* One obsidian-edged knife (hereafter referred to as 


"blade"). 

One silver aspergillum and aspersorium, filled with 
at least 500 ccs of holy water blessed by a priest 
of Abrahamaic faith. 

One kiloton-level nuclear device, to be detonated 
in case of catastrophic containment failure. 


. Celebrant, guards, and assistant open SCP-2317, 


step through, and enter SCP-2317 Prime. 
Assistant will enter first, followed by guards, 
followed by celebrant. Guards will, at all times, 
maintain situational awareness of assistant, and 
should be prepared to prevent escape with deadly 
force. 


. Beginning with the pillar closest to and in-line with 


SCP-2317 (SCP-2317-A), celebrant 
circumambulates SCP-2317-A through SCP-2317- 
G, proceeding counter-clockwise at an even and 
measured pace. At every other step, celebrant will 
scatter holy water, using the aspergillum and 
aspersorium, in the direction of the circle's center. 


. Upon completing one circumambulation of 


SCP-2317-A-G, celebrant scatters holy water over 
the head of the assistant and recites the following 
phrase: "Seven Seals, Seven Rings, Seven 
Thrones for the Scarlet King." 


. Celebrant then moves to a safe distance away 


from assistant, who will take the obsidian knife and 
use it to kill the chicken provided as sacrifice. 
Blood will be drained from the chicken and added 
to the aspersorium, then stirred to mix with the 
holy water already contained within. 


. Assistant then circumambulates SCP-2317-A-G in 


a clockwise direction, scattering the mixture of 
blood and holy water in the direction of the circle's 
center. 


. Upon completing one circumambulation of 


SCP-2317-A-G, assistant walks to the center of 
the circle of stones and pours the remaining 
mixture of blood and water onto the discolored 


patch of salt and sand in the center, while reciting 
the following phrase: "Blood for the Old Gods, 
Water for the New King." 

7. All materials are gathered up, the obsidian knife is 
secured, and all personnel return through 
SCP-2317, which is subsequently closed.
