Recovered Audio: Warning: The following audio snippet 
is at a high volume. 


00:01: Recording opens on a town. Many 
buildings are collapsed or engulfed in flames. 
There is significant seismic activity present. 


00:03: Video pans to show SCP-001. Size is 
indiscernible in the video, but the entity takes 
up the entire frame. It is slowly moving 
forward. 


00:09: SCP-001 is seen moving large amounts 
of earth into itself. Occasional flames erupt 
from within the entity. 


00:15: Air raid sirens become audible as the 
sky lights up, as if by lightning. The clouds 
directly over SCP-001 part momentarily. 
SCP-2399 is visible, its underside slightly 
damaged. Foundation mortar fire is seen 
passing overhead. 


00:20: One such mortar strikes SCP-001. No 
damage is visible. 


00:22: The underside of SCP-2399 is glowing 
blue. 


00:24: A bright beam of light erupts from 
SCP-2399 and strikes SCP-001. SCP-001 
violently reacts and reaches towards 
SCP-2399. 


00:26: There is an explosion. Nothing can be 


seen on video. 
00:30: As nearby people scream, video ends. 


Addendum 001.09: Neutralization of SCP-001 


Early image of SCP-001, during the evacuation of a nearby town. 


On July 17th, 1943, agents from the Allied Occult 
Initiative contacted Foundation directors stationed at La 
Paz, Mexico, and requested assistance with 
transportation towards the site of the 001-Apotheosis 
entity. Foundation operatives moved quickly to dispatch 
a plane to retrieve the AOI members. After arriving, the 
agents described a unique anomalous artifact they had 
in their custody, and how it might be used to slow the 
advance of the 001-Apotheosis entity. 


Three days after arriving at La Paz, on July 24th, 1943, 
the Allied Occult Initiative dispatched a single agent to 
the site of the 001-Apotheosis entity, with the anomalous 
artifact on their person. On the morning of July 25th, 
1943, as the 001-Apotheosis entity approached the 
shore of the Pacific Ocean another massive, mechanical 
construct* appeared overhead. The origin of this entity is 
currently unknown. 


Records of the event following the appearance of 
SCP-2399 are incomplete and likely inaccurate. The 
result of this engagement was the annihilation of 
SCP-001. SCP-2399 disappeared and was later 
discovered in low-Jupiter orbit in a state of disrepair, 
though the reason for this is currently unknown. 


The remaining inactive component of SCP-001, a 
massive, unassembled group of machine parts, remains 
at the bottom of the Gulf of California. Upon removing 
SCP-882 from the inactive superstructure, the remainder 
collapsed and became wholly inert. 


Following the 001-Apotheosis Event, a massive 


amnesticization of individuals in and around the area 
now known as Baja California took place. These efforts 
were aided by the quantity of thick, black smoke that 
accompanied SCP-001, and current historical records 
describe the event as a forest fire. Significant effort was 
made to adjust maps of the area, as well as relocate 
displaced civilians. Because of the need for a 
widespread amnestic regimen, several experimental 
neurotransformers were used, and because of their 
poorly understood side effects, it is estimated that no 
fewer than two million people across the world died in 
the decade following the 001-Apotheosis Event.

Addendum 001.11: Agent Ruberson's Statement, 
January 1944 


Inactive pieces of SCP-001 being transported for processing and 


containment. 


Note: Agent Aaron Ruberson was on-site during the 
collection of SCP-001 artifacts. As the most senior 
member of Foundation staff assigned to the collection 
effort, he was required to submit a post-event statement. 
This report was filed at Site-17, until it was added to the 
other classified material related to SCP-007. It is 
unknown whether any other individuals had knowledge 
of this report, or if any copies were made. The following 
is an excerpt from that statement. 


We took what we could from the shores first. 
Little things, gears and pulleys and pistons, 
things like that. A lot of it was garbage, but 
they were still twitching, spinning, turning. 
They still had life in them. The small stuff sort 
of died off after a couple hours, but | heard that 
the bigger pieces were still churning weeks 
later. Like cutting the head off a chicken. 


The important parts, the ones we knew were 


actual Church artifacts, we managed to bag 
and get moved to the train in La Paz for 
transport. | counted, Christ, maybe a hundred? 
Individual anomalous artifacts. Some of the 
boys at the train station joked that they'd have 
to build a whole new site just to keep it all. 


We kept casualties low, fortunately. Mostly 
guys just being dumb around machinery, 
acting like it still couldn't take their arms off. 
Rodriguez got his hand crunched, and we had 
to help move him to the local clinic. | think we 
only had one death the entire time. One of the 
locals we hired to help dive down into the bay 
and get straps around the heart so we could 
pull it up. | didn't see it, but | heard about it. 
Said they found him with his head smashed 
between two moving pieces. Said it looked like 
he'd shoved it in there himself. 


But | don't know, | didn't see it. | did see the 
tags, though. 


You know, when a place manufactures 
something, and in order to identify where the 
part came from, they'll get a big piece of metal 
with their name on it and stick it on the side of 
the part? We saw plenty of those on other 
parts, the stuff that it had collected while it was 
eating its way to the sea. None of the Church 
artifacts did, though. They all buzzed along like 
everything else, but they weren't marked. You 
could feel something when standing next to 
them, like serenity. The whole project was like 
that, it felt calm. Like relief. 


Except for the heart. When we finally got it out 
of the bay, we had to keep it on the shore for a 
day because of the weather. Some of the 
locals started to get itchy. Said they were 
hearing voices, wouldn't go near it. Didn't 


matter how much money we offered them. Had 
to wait to bring in more support from the base 
up north just to get it loaded on a ship. 


|... man, | don't know. I've seen all kinds of 
things, but my memetic resistance is pretty 
high. | had to pass a handful of tests just to get 
this assignment, and everything was clean. 
But | can't deny getting another kind of feeling 
around the heart. | don't know if I'd say | was 
hearing voices, but... 


Right, the tags. It was as we were leaving and 
loading it on the ship that was going to take it 
north that | saw them for the first time. | didn't 
even think to say anything then, didn't even 
pass my mind until | started looking into some 
other files. Then that ship crashed in the 
storm, and they lost the heart, and the whole 
time | kept thinking about those goddamn 
metal tags. | realized it then, | think. That 
wasn't a Church artifact, Johnny. 


They said "Property of The Factory®". 
Addendum 001.12: Interview with POI-004D/001 


Note: The following is an excerpt from an interview in 
2009 with POI-004D/001, who claims to be part of a 
previously unknown sect of the Church of the Broken 
God. Contact was made with the cooperation of the 
Unusual Incidents Unit, who had interacted with 
POI-004D/001 as detailed in Addendum 001.01. 


So, tell me what you think you know. 
| see. 
Interesting. 


Well, you're not entirely wrong. And that's 


commendable, in this day and age. There are 
a few key details | feel you may be 
overlooking, and you may be overvaluing 
information handed to you by a self-admitted 
amnesiac. 


Let me set the record straight. 


The GOC did not kill Yahweh, as they may so 
proudly proclaim. And that was not the Broken 
God they destroyed. It was a piece of it, surely, 
but would you show me a camshaft and call it 
a car? Oh, so you have some parts together. 
An engine, perhaps. But not a car. 


God is much simpler than that. God is 
everything. From the biggest star to the 
smallest particle. Each tiny parts, completely 
insignificant on their own. Doing whatever it is 
they're meant to do. Meshing together, 
gnashing at each other. All a part of a cosmic 
machine. 


The machine aspect was, at some point, likely 
simply a metaphor. An idea. But as I'm sure 
you know, ideas are powerful. They make 
things from nothing, or change things already 
there. And with a small spark of the divine, a 
symbol becomes real. Have a planet with as 
much life as there is here, you generate a lot 
of ideas. 


And you may ask me, "Why is it called the 
Broken God?" There are a few possible 
answers. Something as simple as translation 
issues. Reinterpretations made physical by the 
devout. Is "Broken" simply a poor translation of 
some more nuanced word? Was God a being 
that broke in the Big Bang? If so, why did it 
break? And what will happen if it's repaired? 


Disguise: Regulation Foundation Pistol 


Event: Agent __, along with a team of D-Class personnel had been 
assigned to oversee an experiment on SCP-682 in which [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. SCP-682 became enraged and began attacking the 
personnel. When Agent reached for his pistol, he was surprised 
to produce a ring of keys. It was later discovered that the blades of 
the keys were all dull, and unfit to open any door. 


Note: Since it seems that SCP-523's transformations are more or 
less proportional to the gravity of the situation it is being used for, it 
is imperative that it be destroyed immediately in the event of an XK- 
class end-of-the-world scenario, as it may turn into something that 
would further exacerbate the situation. Like the Sun. -Dr. Willis 


« SCP-522 | SCP-523 | SCP-524 » 


| can answer none of the questions save the 
last, but you already know the answer. 
Whatever God once was doesn't matter, 
ultimately. What matters, to you, is that that it 
must remain as it is. "Broken." God knows 
that. The more powerful parts, the mechanical 
components the more conventional sects may 
label as holy, they know they are not meant to 
be one solid thing. And even when forced 
together, a foreign force driving them, they 
know what they really are. Bits of the monster 
will work to destroy itself, deploy smaller 
entities to do the job. The GOC didn't kill it, 
they took the gun from its own hand and 
claimed credit when they pulled the trigger. 


The problem is that humans are too small a 
part of God to remember. Remember what it 
was like before. And so those like Bumaro will 
invent new ways to push us toward a 
singularity. 


Because that's what will happen. Did you see 
the underside of the destroyer? It was 
damaged even before the encounter in '43. 
And if you looked very closely, you might have 
seen the scars were getting closer and closer 
to the power core. It even managed to damage 
whatever lets it slip between the layers of 
reality this time. Eventually the monster will 
win. It will destroy the destroyer, devour it, and 
with its power consume everything. And | 
mean everything. God will return to being one 
gestalt being, a singularity, and then break. 
Only this time it may have some outside force 
within it. The rust of The Factory. The blood of 
a Daevite king. The Fifthists, Wondertainment, 
some random person on the street with 
enough spark in them to be a reality bender. 
They will have a hand in remaking the 


universe, and close the secondary loop of all 
this. 


No, that doesn't concern me. It's an 
eventuality, it's meant to happen. Who's to say 
it hasn't already happened, and your people 
were the winner? Maybe humanity itself was 
the winner. But that doesn't mean I'd be 
against putting it off, allowing the primary loop 
to continue. 


Yes, it's possible. | know you couldn't damage 
the monster last time, and that the destroyer 
may not be able to repair itself by the time it is 
needed. But who's to say you can't aid it? Or 
mimic those who will seek to rebuild God, and 
acquire outside help? Working together, 
nothing is impossible. 


Apart, we are Broken. But united, we are God.

Foundation's Containment Committee, in conjunction 
with the Overseer Council, the Site Directors Council, 
and the Foundation Ethics Committee. Until such time 
that the Maksur-class was codified, SCP-001 was 
classified as "Neutralized," and the Maksur-class was 
created to replace this improper classification (See 
Classification Committee Records CA-10931, 
"Relevancy of the Neutralized Classification in Non- 
Standard Applications" and CA-10945, "Proposal: 
Maksur-Class"). 

2. SK-Class scenarios will automatically trigger a backup 
of all sensitive Foundation information to maximum 
security data servers within self-contained, "deep well" 
sites (currently 117, 118, and 119). All non-essential 
personnel will receive mandatory amnestic treatment, 
and all major regional sites will go into a state of 
extended lockdown. Within current models, this state is 
indefinite. 


3. This was discovered after the containment of SCP-629 
via collaboration with Broken Church contacts. It is 
unknown how these components were initially collected 
by Doctor Wondertainment without knowledge of the 
Foundation or its liaisons within the Church of the Broken 
God, and SCP-629 itself is unaware of its legitimate 
connection with the Church.
