The lower half of the image appears to be 
some sort of map relating the position of the 
star system to astronomical landmarks. 


Image 3: 


This image appears to be a stylised 
representation of a bipedal creature. The 
circular object to the right of the image has a 
strong resemblance to SCP-1947. If the image 
is to scale the bipedal creature would be 
approximately 3 metres tall. 


Image 4: 


Unknown. Speculations include a stellar field 
map, genetic information of the creature 
shown in image 3, or yet another code. 


Image 5: 


This image was discovered to be a 
representation of energy levels in a hydrogen 
atom. An electron transitioning from the 
second lowest to the lowest energy level (n=2 
to n=1) in a hydrogen atom releases a photon 
with a wavelength of 122 nm — this is shown in 
the top left of the image. The bottom of the 
image was determined to display photons with 
a wavelength of 244 nm directed against 
SCP-1947. 


After the meaning of the 5th image was 
discovered we tried exposing SCP-1947 toa 


UV laser with a wavelength of 244 nm. We had 
hoped that this would reveal more information 
about the nature of SCP-1947. However, 
SCP-1947 stopped transmitting microwaves 
after we exposed it to the UV laser. We then 
found that it had switched to emitting radio 
waves at a frequency of around 6 GHz. 


The radio waves being emitted now by 
SCP-1947 are frequency modulated in a 
complex way - the current signal is beyond our 
capabilities to decipher. Additionally, the signal 
is highly directional and highly powerful. 
SCP-1947 is sending a signal into space and

SCP-1947: Status as of 27-07-2010 


This document assumes at least cursory 
familiarity with the technical report prepared by 
Junior Researcher Schertz. 


On 23-02-2008 | authorized the use of a UV 
laser on SCP-1947. We initially thought that 
SCP-1947 had been deactivated by exposure 
to the laser. However, three weeks later we 
discovered the new radio emissions. They 
encode a highly complex signal which we 
studied for almost a year without making any 
progress on the decoding. All we managed to 
discover was that SCP-1947 continuously 
broadcast a signal with repeating and non- 


repeating elements. Eventually we realised 
that the radio waves being transmitted by 
SCP-1947 were directed towards the 
constellation Scorpius. This directionality was 
maintained regardless of the orientation of 
SCP-1947. 


It is now apparent that SCP-1947 was 
broadcasting information towards Scorpius for 
a period of approximately one year. The 
signals sent from SCP-1947 during that time 
period will undoubtedly reach their intended 
destination at some point in the future. As of 
18-01-2009, SCP-1947 is contained within an 
electromagnetically shielded room, this should 
prevent any additional transmission of 
information. 


Curiously, the central location in the "star map 
provided in the second image from SCP-1947 
(See technical report) does not appear to 
correspond to any star in the vicinity of 
Scorpius. The lines shown are not correlated 
with the known positions of stars, pulsars, 
nebulae or other potential astronomical 
landmarks. Additionally, no star near Scorpius 
is known to possess six planets in the 
configuration shown by the first image from 
SCP-1947. 


Since SCP-1947 was found there have been 
four additional known discoveries of very 
similar objects; one in the US, two in Russia 
and one in Thailand. These additional 
SCP-1947 like objects (designated SCP-1947- 
L) were recently determined to transmit similar 
sets of images by the same method as 
SCP-1947, although each object appears to 
present a different version of images two and 
four. The four different iterations of image two 


decoded so far are roughly similar except for 
the presentation of a different configuration of 
the star system at the top of the image as well 
as a superficially similar "star map" with the 
lines in alternate positions. None of these 
additional "star maps" appear to correspond to 
locations near Scorpius. Also, each object 
analysed encodes a version of image four with 
a different pattern in the central square. The 
meaning of image four is still unclear. At least 
one SCP-1947-L encodes a sixth image of a 
seemingly random pattern of dots similar to 
those in image four. Three SCP-1947-L's are 
currently stored in an electromagnetically 
shielded deep storage locker at Site-21; these 
have not been "activated" by exposure to a UV 
laser. 


At least one SCP-1947-L is not currently held 
by the Foundation, and acquisition of the 
missing SCP-1947-L is a high-priority goal. 
The fact that at least five objects similar to 
SCP-1947 (including SCP-1947 itself) are 
known to exist is a worrying prospect. 
Considering the likely extraterrestrial origin of 
SCP-1947 this raises the possibility that a 
large number of SCP-1947-L's may be 
scattered around the galaxy to serve an 
unknown end.

SCP-1948: Weather Bird 


Item #: SCP-1948 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1948 is to be kept in a 
standard sized avian cage, kept in the minimum security animal 
containment facility. It does not require any special treatment or 
security beyond that of non-anomalous members of its species. The 
cage must be checked for signs of weather related damage 
periodically due to the nature of the specimen. The specimen is 
allowed one (1) hour outside its cage every day under the 
supervision of resident ornithologist Dr. Erin and meteorologist Dr. 
Anderson, in order to keep its well being. It is to be released only 
within the confines of Dr. Erin's designated indoor research area. 


Description: The specimen is a male adult Turdus merula, or 
Common Blackbird. Its anomalous nature stems from its ability to 
alter the natural temperature and wind flow in an area of 
approximately seventy-five (75) kilometers around it at will, the 
effects of this ability being strongest at the epicenter, namely the 
specimen itself. SCP-1948's weather control abilities are fairly tame, 
and are incapable of creating any extreme conditions, such as 
massive heat waves or sudden storms. The specimen seems to 
prefer a mildly warm weather of around twenty-seven (27) degrees 
centigrade, and will usually alter the weather to fit this preference. 


The specimen was recovered from ; , a town known for 
its tourism industry and remarkably fair weather for its general area. 
Recovery was problematic and met with armed resistance due to 
SCP-1948's importance in local traditions (see Recovery Log). 


+ Show Recovery Log 


The Foundation was first alerted to the existence of 
SCP-1948 after the new meteorology station at site 


picked up unusual weather patterns in the town's general 
area. Agents and ___ were sent to investigate. 


Arriving atthe town at / /2_ , the agents began 
questioning the natives about the town's unusually fair 
and warm weather for the season. At first, the townsfolk 
answered their questions politely and casually, but as the 
agents continued their investigation over the following 
days, became increasingly restless and hostile towards 
the agents. Eventually, on the night of / /2 , two weeks 
after the agents arrival, the agents discovered the 
existence of SCP-1948 while eavesdropping on a covert 
meeting of the town's elders. While attempting to contact 
Command, the agents were discovered and as a result 
the townsfolk made an attempt on their lives. Five (5) 
townsfolk were killed in the ensuing firefight, as well as 
Agent .Agent_ , moderately injured, only narrowly 
escaped. Mobile Task Force was dispatched to 
subdue the residents of the town and capture SCP-1948. 
Members of the Task Force were able to quickly 
overpower the townsfolk with minimal use of lethal force 
and take them into captivity, as well as capture 
SCP-1948. After questioning, most captured townsfolk 
were given class-A amnestics and released, while the 
remaining few directly involved in the death of Agent 
remained in Foundation custody and were [REDACTED]. 


Tests on SCP-1948 found no relation between its 
weather control abilities and the townsfolk's increased 
hostility. 


Addendum: The following is an interview with ,a 
local constable in (henceforth INT-5), shortly 
after Mobile Task Force 's raid on the town. 


Interviewed: INT-5 

Interviewer: Dr. 

Foreword: INT-5 is suffering from various 

minor injuries inflicted during the fight with 

Mobile Task Force , but appears calm 
and collected. The subject speaks of 


SCP-1948 presence at the time of the town's 
foundation, though it is impossible for 
SCP-1948 to have been alive at the time 
considering the average life span of the 
Common Blackbird. 


<Begin Log> 
Dr. : INT-5, why did you attack Agents 
and ? 


INT-5: They knew too much. We couldn't let 
them spread the word. It would have destroyed 
. No one could ever know. 


Dr : What makes you think their discovery 


of SCP-1948 would have such effects on 
? 


INT-5: It's not just that. They heard what we 
did to please the Idol. They couldn't 
understand. It has always been like this, ever 
since was first founded. The Idol 
protected us, made us prosperous. But 
sometimes it wouldn't, and the weather would 
change, and people stopped coming. We knew 
we had to please it somehow. We tried 
everything, but nothing would work. So we 
turned to the old ways. 


Dr : Human sacrifice. 


INT-5: Yes. We didn't do it often, only when it 
was necessary. Only when the Idol wouldn't 
give us spring. Only then. We did what we had 
to. The Idol demanded it, and we submitted. 
We kept it quiet, only chose people from the 
town no one would miss: castoffs and 
vagabonds, mosily. 


Dr : Did SCP-1948 ever directly demand 


sacrifice? Did you have any proof your 
sacrifice was working? 


INT-5: (shaking his head) It never said 
anything. But every time we made a sacrifice, 
spring would eventually return. It worked, and 
our town flourished. We knew we could 
depend on the old ways. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Subject was given class-A 
amnestics shortly after the end of the interview and 
released, having no direct involvement in the death of 
Agent 


Addendum SCP-1948-1: Further examination of SCP-1948's 
weather changes in captivity found a pattern to them: approximately 
every five years, when the quasiperiodic climate pattern known as El 
Nifio occurs across the Pacific Ocean, the specimen's preferred 
temperature would drop from twenty seven (27) degrees centigrade 
to five (5) degrees centigrade for a period of three months. This 
correlated to the time of the human sacrifice practiced by the 
residents of , though the pattern continued regularly without 
any need for the sacrifice practiced by the locals, which appears to 
have no effect on the weather change. 


Addendum SCP-1948-2: A request has been made to attempt to 
breed SCP-1948 with non-anomalous members of its species in 
order to check the possibility the specimen described by the locals 
as existing at the time of the town's founding was simply an ancestor 
of SCP-1948. Confirmation pending.

SCP-1949: Jonathan Harris 


Item #: SCP-1949 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Jonathan Harris is to be kept in 
a 10m x 10m x 10m chamber at Site-122's Humaniform 
Containment Center. The containment structure is divided into three 
floors, each three meters in height. Jonathan Harris is not to be 
referred to by his SCP Foundation casefile number at any time. 
Jonathan Harris may be referred to as Jon, Jonathan, Mister Harris, 
Harris, Jon Harris, Jonathan Harris, or Jack. Jonathan Harris is not 
to be referred to at any time as Jonny or Jonny Harris. 


Jonathan Harris is not to be fed on the normal Humaniform SCP 
feeding regimen. Instead, between midnight and noon each Sunday 
of each week, Jonathan Harris will file a weekly meal request to 
SCP Foundation personnel. Jonathan Harris is to be allowed a meal 
budget of $100 per week. If Jonathan Harris exceeds his meal 
budget, the remaining meals will be replaced with standard meals 
for Humaniform SCP objects in containment. SCP Foundation 
personnel are to take every reasonable measure to provide 
Jonathan Harris his requested meals within the budget available. 


Jonathan Harris is not to be clothed in the normal uniforms provided 
to Humaniform SCPs. Instead, Jonathan Harris will file a monthly 
clothing allowance to SCP Foundation personnel between noon and 
midnight of the first Sunday of each month. Jonathan Harris is to be 
allowed a clothing budget of $1200 per year. Jonathan Harris is to 
be allowed a reasonable amount of closet space, and must turn in 
all worn or damaged clothing to SCP Foundation personnel for 
destruction. 


Jonathan Harris has been provided a moderate furniture allowance, 
including bed, flat screen television with cable access, couch, 
Playstation 3 video game console, and Kindle e-book reader. 


Jonathan Harris has also been provided with a custom-built personal 
computer, although access to the Internet is forbidden. Jonathan 
Harris has been provided a discretionary budget of $100 per month 
for educational materials, personal hygiene materials, entertainment, 
and so on and so forth. Any funds that have not been spent at the 
end of the month may be rolled over into the next month's 
discretionary budget, as may any unspent funds from Jonathan 
Harris' clothing allowance. No funds from Jonathan Harris's meal 
allowance may roll over at the end of the week: all unspent funds 
are to be considered forfeited. 


In all other cases, Jonathan Harris is to be considered a 
Humaniform SCP artifact, and should be treated as such. 


Violation of any of the above containment parameters is to be 
considered a breach of Protocol 1949-Zulu, and must be corrected 
within 24 hours to prevent a containment breach. 


Further addendum to containment procedures should be added to 
this document upon completion of each year's Protocol 1949-Bravo. 


Description: SCP-1949 is a parchment scroll located in Site-122's 
Non-Humaniform Containment Center in a sealed scroll case with 
an acrylic reading window. The document is a contract written up 
between the SCP Foundation and an individual referred to only as 
"X." The contract describes a series of protocols that must be 
followed to maintain containment of Jonathan Harris, whom the 
document refers to as the Prisoner. 


A full outline of all Protocols can be found in Addendum 1949-0, 
access to which is limited to L4 and higher personnel. However, 
three of these Protocols are relevant to this document, and are 
described below. 


« Protocol 1949-Alpha describes the conditions in which 
Jonathan Harris is to be housed. The salient points are listed 
in the containment procedures above. 


« Protocol 1949-Bravo describes a contest that is to be carried 
out between Jonathan Harris and a representative of the SCP 
Foundation between 11pm and midnight, local time, each 


December 31st. The contest is to be a contest of pure luck: 
flipping a coin, rolling dice, or drawing cards are all options for 
valid contests. Should Jonathan Harris win this contest, he is 
to be allowed one reasonable concession (as described under 
Protocol 1949-Charlie through Hotel). Should the SCP 
Foundation representative win the contest, one previously 
allowed concession may be rescinded, or a new restriction 
added (as described under Protocol 1949-India through Kilo.)
