3. The imprint typically died by violence, usually homicide. 
(Sometimes death has been due to secondary factors, such 
as starvation or infection.) 


4. The imprint's death was the result from being targeted by a 
political mass movement, most often with some form of state 
sanction and/or complicity. 


Subjects undergo no obvious anomalous aftereffects due to 
exposure, but will show psychological effects common to the types 
of trauma experienced by the imprinted personality. Grief, survivor's 
guilt and depression are typical. Suicidal ideation is rare, but has 
occurred in a small fraction of cases. It should be noted that in 
treatment of these aftereffects, use of amnestics has not shown any 
psychological benefit, and has often proved to be harmful.

+ Experiment Log for SCP-1123 
Experiment Log 1123-A 
Test 0003 
Date: / /19 


Subject: White male of mixed Irish and French 
ancestry. Age late 30s. 


Procedure: Subject approaches SCP-1123 
and is told to touch it. 


Results: Subject collapses upon contact with 
skull, begins screaming in Armenian. Attacks 
Foundation doctors when they attempt to 
assist, calling them “Turkish Butchers.” Subject 
is sedated and disorientation subsides after 
two hours. Subsequent interviews identify the 
imprinted personality as an Armenian farmer 
who was burned alive with approximately 150 
other inhabitants of his village by the Ottoman 
army in 1915. No records exist of the 
individual, but the event was documented in a 
1919 affidavit presented to the Malta Tribunals 
after World War I. 


Test 0508 
Date: / /19 


Subject: Asian female of Chinese ancestry. 
Age early 60s. 


Procedure: Subject approaches SCP-1123 
and is told to touch it. 


Results: Subject expresses apprehension 
before touching SCP-1123. After touching 
SCP-1123, subject does not move for fifteen 
minutes. Afterwards, subject sits down on the 
ground and is unresponsive for two more 
hours. As fugue state subsides, subject 
becomes visibly more distressed and begins 
weeping. Subsequent interviews identified the 
imprinted personality as a 16-year-old 
Ukrainian girl who died in late 1932 from a 
combination of malnutrition and the aftereffects 
of rape and beatings by members of a Soviet 
youth brigade in charge of confiscating grain 
from the Ukrainian peasantry. 


Test 1157 
Date: / /20 


Subject: Latino female of Cuban ancestry. 
Age mid-40s. 


Procedure: Subject approaches SCP-1123 
and is told to touch it. 


Results: Before touching SCP-1123, subject 
complains about smoke irritating her eyes. 
Subject touches SCP-1123 and ceases all 
movement and responsiveness for a period of 
twenty-five minutes. After twenty-five minutes, 
fugue state has concluded, but subject is still 


touching SCP-1123. Subject does not resist 
when Foundation personnel escort her from 
the test area. After one week of being 
unresponsive to interviews, the subject 
provides information on the imprinted 
personality. The imprint was from a Polish 
woman of Jewish descent who died in the 
Treblinka death camp in 1942. 


Test 1815 
Date: / /20 


Subject: Black male of Haitian ancestry. Age 
early 20s. 


Procedure: Subject approaches SCP-1123 
and is told to touch it. 


Results: Before touching SCP-1123, subject 
complains about a “chemical smell,” and 
intense itching of the extremities. Subject 
touches SCP-1123 and immediately begins 
coughing. The coughing fit subsides and 
subject expresses confusion and distress, but 
appears reassured when he realizes that the 
Foundation personnel present are American. 
Subject communicates a Sorani dialect of 
Kurdish spoken in Iraqi Kurdistan. Fugue 
subsides after 60 minutes. Interviews identify 
the imprinted personality as a 85-year-old 
victim of a mustard gas attack during the Iraqi 
regime’s Anfal campaign in 1989. Note: First 
instance of an imprint personality that 
postdates SCP-1123’s origin. 


Conclusions: After tests to date, a clear 
statistical pattern has begun to emerge. The 
probability of a subject receiving an imprint 
from a particular historical event is roughly 


proportional to the number of victims that can 
be attributed to that event. For example, % of 
imprints come from Communist China’s Great 
Leap Forward between 1958 and 1961, % of 
imprints come from Nazi Germany’s 
extermination efforts between 1939 and 1945, 
while only % come from events such as the 
Armenian Genocide or the Iraqi Anfal 
campaign where deaths are only estimated in 
the 1 to 2 million range.

SCP-1124: Xenoplague 


Item #: SCP-1124 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All samples delivered are in 
containment. The distance of from Earth and the conditions on 
the planet itself render any breach of containment of active 
instances of SCP-1124 unlikely; these entities have been observed 
to be exclusively terrestrial. A repeat of the lander incident at Air 
Force Base is unlikely as no more than one lander and shuttle was 
stationed at ILYENA at the time of the outbreak. Research drones 
have revealed that the since missing shuttle is currently eroding on 
the planet surface. 


Samples of SCP-1124 have been transferred to warehouse 
compound 1124Xa as per recommendation by Dr . Researcher 
Sanders, Dr. Herman, and Dr. Smith have been given special 
clearance to access the samples at their own discretion with the 
conditions that update logs and proof of inactivity or reactivation are 
immediately placed on record. Indefinite surveillance of these 
researchers is enacted as a precaution. With the exception to the 
ILYENA incident no instances of SCP-1124 have been activated 
save for SCP-1124-C. 


The housing compound is located 70km underground outside of Site 
, and is equipped with a failsafe nuclear device should emergency 

protocol fail. Individual instances of SCP-1124 are encased in 

airtight, soundproof, heatproof, 1m x 1 mx 1 m steel “blast safes”. 


Isolated instances of SCP-1124 are kept individually in steel stores 
with equipped motion and heat sensing equipment. No more than 
one instance of SCP-1124 is to be tested at any given time. Testing 
is to be done with approval from each of the three aforementioned 
personnel, Site Director , and O5 directorate approval. It is 
recommended drones instead be sent to ILYENA for research. 


Should defensive systems within the testing chambers fail, the 
chamber is to be immediately sealed, filled with triflic acid, and 
incinerated. Any researchers present inside of the testing chamber 
are to remain there during the termination protocol. 


Efforts are being taken to destroy SCP-1124-C before it matures, 
although with current results this seems unlikely. The progeny itself 
is contained ina 3m x 3mx 3 mcontainment unit with acid-proof 
titanium sheeting. The container should be completely submerged 
and re-cycled with triflic acid at all times. The unit itself is to be lined 
monthly with extra titanium sheeting to replace dissolved or 
destroyed sheeting. This maintenance process should be completed 
within a span of 40 (forty) minutes. 


Description: SCP-1124 are metallic objects found near research 
base ILYENA on __. The first instances of SCP-1124 were 
recovered from canisters underneath [DATA EXPUNGED] mountain 
range. 


Entities contained by the canisters have the appearance of 
cephalopods, weighing exactly 1.0268 kg. 


Instances of SCP-1124 are impervious to heat and pressure. Each 
is otherwise non-responsive to external stimuli save for physical 
contact with biological matter, which will cause instances of 
SCP-1124 to activate and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Reaction to 
biological matter originating from a sapient creature tends to elicit a 
more violent response. 


Though observations are performed daily through a viewing window 
in tank 1124-C by monitoring cameras, a definite shape cannot be 
substantiated. The most recent appearance appears similar to a 
larval grub. SCP-1124-C is in all instances metallic in appearance. 


The entity frequently gnaws and consumes the casing in its 
containment unit, although the amount of damage taken is 
acceptable due to the density and thinness of the film used to line 
the chamber. Further research into containment is deemed 
necessary as the creature has been shown to grow in minor 
increments when more material is consumed. 


A tear located in Researcher 's body suit during transfer 
allowed [DATA EXPUNGED] activating 1 (one) instance of 
SCP-1124. Security cameras show the entity quickly gnawing itself 
out from the inside of its alloy casing and then launching itself into 
the mouth of one Researcher . This method of mobility is 
believed to be a spring like motion using its appendages but this is 
still unconfirmed. Following containment procedures Researcher 

sealed himself inside unit 1124-C and activated the failsafe 
mechanism, effectively containing SCP-1124-C.

Sanders: Dr. Sanders, audio log A20, reporting 
successful mission. Samples are being housed. What we 
think are glass canisters were found beneath the [DATA 
EXPUNGED] mountain range; eighty-four south two- 
three east on your grids. Estimated four minutes before 
we reach the rover. 


13:34:23: 

Sanders: Reached rover ahead of schedule. Everyone is 
present and accounted for. Estimated one hour before 
we reach llyena. 


14:25:12: 

Sanders: We're in the airlock now. We’ve dumped our 
cargo. Researcher Breen reports he is delivering the 
recovered canisters to dome Theta. 


14:40:02: 
Sanders: Signing off. 


03:35:10: 
Sanders: Met with Breen and he hasn't said anything 
about the canisters yet. “Saving the best for last” he 


says. Don’t know how he can resist something that 
bizarre. Guess that’s why we got him up here. 


06:58:19: 
Sanders: Meeting with Breen again. Let me turn up my 
transmitter here. Say something Breen. 


Breen: Greetings from space. 
Sanders: You're a silly bitch, Breen. 


07:05:19: 

Sanders: He’s got a few of the things that were inside 
the canisters laid out on a table. Breen says the canister 
itself wasn’t glass though — not sure what the material 
was. The canisters are egg shaped, no markings, 
smooth. They have lids on their ends that detach and 
reattach given a gentle pull. There are no adhesives, no 
screw tops or anything like that. They just come off and 
on. 


07:10:22: 

Sanders: The things inside the “eggs” look like little 
silver squids. Their limbs are segmented. Can’t make out 
any eyes or mouths. Breen shook one around but the 
limbs didn’t wiggle like we expected them too. They're 
Stiff. 


07:12:01: 

Sanders: Breen can’t begin dissection; their outer shells 
are too hard. Thinking they might just be figurines or 
something like that. 


07:26:45: 

Sanders: Breen has blasted these things with heat, froze 
‘em, even put them in a crusher, and they don’t seem to 
react at all. They just sneeze off anything we throw at 
them. 


07:27:30: 
Sanders: He joked that we should sneeze on them. 


Breen gave me the honors. 


07:28:23: 

Sanders: Couldn’t sneeze so | just spat on one. They 
don’t seem to be affected. Think they might just be 
figurines.

Compilers Note - Addendum-d 

Instances of SCP-1124's progeny that express low heat signature 
vary slightly in appearance but share some characteristics including 
metallic angular features and segmented limbs. 


Entities with higher heat signatures appear less angular and are not 
segmented. Some bodily features are similar to animals that were 
previously housed on site, although these influences seem to be 
primarily reptilian. 


Temperatures on range from -208 to -223 °C and surface gravity 
is roughly 44.88 m/s‘2. Life support systems at ILYENA are not 
functional. Gravity stabilization generators inside ILYENA are also 
non-functioning. The atmosphere of would corrode most Earth 
metals. These entities do not require air and are composed of 
currently unclassified organic material and metals. 


Testing is requested on earth housed samples to confirm whether 
environmental factors affect the abilities SCP-1124 as testing on 
active samples at ILYENA is limited due to aforementioned 
conditions at ILYENA and the limitations of the research drones.
