Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1776 is to be kept behind 
opaque shatterproof glass in a locked room at Site 632, the offices 
of Foundation front company Springfield Cargo Protection. Task 
Force Omicron-6991-B ("Whackblotter") is responsible for the 
security of Site 632 and SCP-1776. TF 6991-B is to be employed 
indirectly by Site 632 management and is not to be made aware of 
the Foundation's existence. Members of TF 6991-B are to be 
recruited exclusively from police and private security backgrounds. 
No person who has served in the armed forces of any nation or in 
any paramilitary organization, including as part of a Foundation task 
force, is to be involved with the testing or containment of SCP-1776. 


An unused flagpole is to be installed in the secure plaza at the front 
entrance of Site 632. In the event of a containment breach, affected 
individual/s should attempt to seek out this area on their own. Plaza 
is to be evacuated and all ex-military personnel cleared from the 
area until SCP-1776 is returned to containment. In the event of a 
mass containment breach, aerial dispersal of Class-E amnestics is 
authorized. Additional security forces may be deployed as 
necessary providing that only non-military personnel are deployed. 


Description: SCP-1776 is a machine-sewn nylon flag of the now- 
defunct Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, measuring 0.9 meters by 
1.5 meters. Forensic examination suggests SCP-1776 was 
produced in the mid to late 1970s. Aside from signs of wear typical 
for a flag of its age, SCP-1776 exhibits tattering along the edges and 
several perforations appearing to have been caused by gunfire. 


The anomalous effects of SCP-1776 are exhibited when the flag is 
viewed by an individual who has served in the armed forces of their 
nation or in a paramilitary organization organized and disciplined in 


a manner substantially similar to a national military, such as a 
private military contractor or partisan resistance group. The person 
viewing SCP-1776 will perceive it not as a Yugoslav flag but as the 
flag of their own nation, or as a regimental flag belonging to a unit 
they identify strongly with. The subject will further perceive that any 
other individuals in the presence of SCP-1776, whether they 
themselves are affected by it or not, are enemies of the entity they 
believe SCP-1776 to represent and that they intend to destroy or 
desecrate it. 


Once affected, the individual will become highly aggressive and will 
use any means within his/her disposal to seize possession of 
SCP-1776. Once in possession of it, they will attempt to make their 
way to a flagpole, window, or other highly visible public place and 
display SCP-1776. This display will have similar effects on any other 
person of a military background who observes it, potentially resulting 
in large-scale violence over possession and protection of SCP-1776. 


This effect continues for as long as the affected individual is within 
visual range of SCP-1776; removing SCP-1776 from the subject's 
vicinity, or vice versa, is sufficient to negate its effect. If multiple 
individuals of similar military backgrounds are exposed to SCP-1776 
at once they may attempt to cooperate in capturing and displaying it; 
however, such partnerships are fragile and have been observed to 
break down quickly, especially if the individuals involved are of 
different regimental histories. 


SCP-1776 was acquired by embedded Foundation resources within 
the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Yugoslavia in 1992. 
Three days of intense rioting in Sarajevo was found to be focused 
around an office building in the city's economic center. 
Reconnaissance identified SCP-1776, which was being displayed 
from a third-story window, as being the focal point of intense 
factional warfare which the greater riot was centered around. The 
Foundation's first attempt to disperse the rioters and acquire 
SCP-1776 failed when Mobile Task Force Omicron-6991-A ("Don't 
Have a Chao") broke contact after informing Control that they 
"[weren't] letting you bastards burn our flag". The office building MTF 
6991-A had taken control of was destroyed by aerial bombardment, 
resulting in the deaths of the MTF, and a civilian team was deployed 


to remove it from the rubble.

SCP-1777: Kings Cave 


Item #: SCP-1777 
Object Class: Safe (Change to Neutralized under O5 review) 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the public nature of 
SCP-1777-2, and the rarity/safe nature of SCP-1777-1, SCP-1777 
is, for the most part, uncontained. Site-E13 is to remain staffed at all 
times, with remote surveillance of SCP-1777-2 to occur on a 24 hour 
basis. Should SCP-1777-1 make an appearance to a visitor, Site 
staff are to record any commentary made, then dispatch a team 
which is to include two security members dressed as tour guides, 
and one dressed so as to resemble SCP-1777-1. Suggested cover 
story is that the agent so dressed is a reenactor with a local troupe, 
and was playing a role. Should the visitor be disinclined to believe 
the cover story, use of stun guns and amnestics is approved. 


Researchers are encouraged not to attempt interaction with 
SCP-1777-2. 


Description: SCP-1777-1 is an apparent specter that is known to 
appear within SCP-1777-2. It manifests as a two meter tall male 
human, dressed from head to toe in rusty plate armor of a variety 
common in England during the 15th century. Several simple 
markings are scratched into the armor, the same symbols which 
appear inside SCP-1777-2. Clasped in its hands is a cross-hilted 
longsword approximately 1.5 meters long, bearing a double fuller 
style blade. The word 'Veritas'! has been carved across the hilt. It 
has so far proven impossible to touch 1777-1 in any way. 


SCP-1777-2 is the natural structure known as King's Cave, on Arran 
Island, in Scotland. The main inner pillar is carved with many 
symbols, including a man holding what appears to be a bow over his 
head, and another that seems to depict a sword. Testing has proven 
anything carved on this column will show up on the armor of 
SCP-1777-1 when it appears. 


SCP-1777-1 appears to be triggered by the presence of any direct 
descendant of any of the kings of England. This does not extend to 
descendants of queens. When such a person enters SCP-1777-2, 
SCP-1777-1 appears, and seems to study them for a moment. It will 
then speak in what has been identified as a dialect of Latin, 'Puer de 
(insert ancestor king's name) est non tempus’ before vanishing. It is 
unsure why this is done, but whenever possible, known descendants 
of kings are kept away from SCP-1777-23. 


SCP-1777-1 has so far never been wrong in its determination of 
lineage. 


Addendum 1: On 03/24/2006, D-86701, a descendant of Sweyn 
Forkbeard, was brought into SCP-1777-2. Upon the appearance of 
SCP-1777-1, Senior Researcher Janus attempted to interview it. He 
continuously interrupted it for several minutes, causing SCP-1777-1 
to stay manifested for longer then it ever had before. At this point 
SCP-1777-1 interacted with its environment for the first time, 
backhanding the researcher, breaking his jaw. It spoke the following 
words in Latin 'Stultus bestia, relinquere me ad meum munus.*' It 
then finished its statement to D-86701, and vanished. 


Since this event, SCP-1777-1 has failed to materialize whenever a 
Foundation researcher or other operative has accompanied a 
prospective visitor. 


Addendum 2: On 07/12/2011, a visitor later identified as Bernard 
Scrivens, 23, of Sussex, England, made his way into SCP-1777-2. 
No staff were currently on site, but were watching the video feeds. 
1777-1 appeared as normal, but instead of speaking, it handed its 
sword to Scrivens, and left. A team was dispatched to contain the 
site, and determine what had happened. Upon arrival, the team was 
attacked by the man. Although non-lethal force was used, the stun 
guns triggered a heart attack in Scrivens, which led to his death. At 
this point SCP-1777-1 reappeared, and spoke 'Requiesce in pace 
Arturus, sic finit Camelot.5' 1777-1 has not reappeared since this 
incident. 


The sword is awaiting classification pending determination of 
anomalous properties.

SCP-1778: Valor 


Item: SCP-1778 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1778 has been marked as 
orbital debris from a failed uncrewed Soviet mission. All embedded 
agents of the Foundation within the most relevant space agencies 
are to observe SCP-1778 and prevent all research or interaction 
initiative related to it. 


Different recovery and disposal measures are being studied at the 
time, and remain pending approval from level 4 authorities until 
possible future connections with SCP-1778 are established. A MTF 
Beta-3 ("Blue Danube") team remains in standby for these 
operations. 


Description: SCP-1778 is, to date, the only known spaceship of the 
Soyuz 7K-L2 series, designed by [REDACTED] and placed in orbit 
in 1966 as part of a special program developed and financed by the 
Psychotronics division of the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate 
(GRU) with unknown aims. SCP-1778 currently remains in low Earth 
orbit. It has been contacted from different points of the surface of the 
Earth since its discovery through brief radio exchanges with 
unknown interlocutors. Only those exchanges initiated through the 
methods deployed by these interlocutors will receive an answer from 
SCP-1778 (See documents TL-01, TL-02 and TL-03). 


While flying over the territories of the former Soviet Union, 
SCP-1778 seems to behave as any satellite or orbiter. However, in 
the moment of passing over the Prime Meridian, SCP-1778 
decelerates through unknown means and adopts an orbit that takes 
it in the opposite direction, then accelerating rapidly until it reaches 
Meridian 170°, when it resumes its previous orbit and speed. During 
this period, SCP-1778 accelerates until it reaches an estimated 
speed of 0.09c with transmissions of anomalous nature during these 


0.3 seconds being emitted from it. While it has been hypothesized 
that these transmissions do contain information, all attempts at 
deciphering thus far have failed. 


+4TL 1778-01 


Transmission Log 1778-01: SCP-1778 was detected 
for the first time in 1966 thanks to the interception of a 
message emitted from [DATA EXPUNGED], within the 
German Democratic Republic, and came to the attention 
of Foundation agents through multiple contacts within the 
Kasernierte Volkspolizei (People's Police). Follows a 
transcript of the decrypted transmission. 


<Transmission begins> 

UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (13 seconds) 
SCP-1778: All right. Your code, please. 
UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (32 seconds) 
SCP-1778: Copy. Wait a minute. 


[According to [REDACTED] land-based 
observatory, SCP-1778 decelerates and 
adopts a reversed orbit for 0.06 seconds] 


UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (3 seconds) 


SCP-1778: Please, stop doing that. You know 
it hurts. 


UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (17 seconds) 


SCP-1778: Yes, yes, | understand. That's why 
| am here, right? 


UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (20 seconds) 


SCP-1778: Well, | do appreciate a bit of 
company. It gets lonely up here. By the way, 


as far as | can read, you were right to call. This 
is an emergency. You will have troubles with 
this one, comrade. | suggest you get your 
hands on some sulfur... it looks like they don't 
like it. 


UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (3 seconds) 


SCP-1778: | don't know, it doesn't say 
anything about that. Just in case, get as much 
as you can find. 


UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (5 seconds) 


SCP-1778: Wait, please! Hold for a moment! 
You have to tell my wife ab- 


<Transmission ends> 


Closing Statement: This transmission made use of 
anomalous techniques the Foundation had no access to 
at the time of interception, and therefore its origin could 
not be tracked. All messages emitted by the unknown 
interlocutor have been impossible to decipher to date, 
and seem to be the result of an experimental encoding 
procedure developed by a closed sub-division within 
GRU-P, from which the Foundation had no previous 
knowledge. However, the acquisition of kilograms of 
sulfur dioxide and liters of hydrogen sulfide gas 
[DATA EXPUNGED] factory in the outskirts of Berlin- 
Mitte. Unfortunately, the reasons which prompted 
SCP-1778 to recommend the use of substances 
containing sulfur remain unclear. 


++TL 1778-02 


Transmission Log 1778-02: This SCP-1778 
transmission was detected in 19 by several Foundation 
agents dedicated to the supervision of GRU-P activities 
in the Baltic Sea, which led them to locate its broadcast 
location at the mouth of river Daugava, Riga, Latvia. 


<Transmission begins> 

UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (42 seconds) 
SCP-1778: No. 

UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (2 seconds) 


SCP-1778: | said no. Do you know for how 
long have | been up here? Probably not, since 
they would never tell the field agents. Ask your 
senior officer, comrade. Ask him. 


UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (23 seconds) 


SCP-1778: Because it was going to be a three 
months mission. 


UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (18 seconds) 


SCP-1778: Lose count? Are you laughing at 
me? | may not have clocks, or windows, but 
commissar told me G was dead, and 
he let out that ithad been years since his 
space walk. Yesterday means cycles ago, 
by the way. 


UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (11 seconds) 
SCP-1778: (sighs) Wait. 


[According to several observing parties 
associated with the Foundation, SCP-1778 
decelerates and adopts a reversed orbit for 
0.24 seconds] 


SCP-1778: (screaming, anxious) Will you 
damned sons of bitches stop doing that! Do 
you know how long would have taken me to 
read and report what was in this ridiculous 
pamphlet?! Five minutes! Five fucking 
minutes! The longer you make me Slip, all the 


more it hurts! Where's the fucking fire!? 
UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (16 seconds) 
SCP-1778: So what if it eats people. 
UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (4 seconds) 


SCP-1778: Why would | fucking care. | won't 
ever walk those streets, will 1? Fuck, forget it. 
Open the window upstairs and throw all the 
things out to the street. And | hope you fall and 
break your neck. 


UNKNOWN: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] (5 seconds) 
<Transmission ends> 


Closing Statement: [DATA EXPUNGED] Given the far- 
reaching diplomatic consequences any interference in 
this GRU-P operation while in Latvian territory would 
have provoked, Foundation operatives did not intervene 
until they received specific instructions to do so from 
05-2, 05-10 and O5-12, who evaluated the situation in 
an emergency meeting. GRU-P agents completed their 
operation, which resulted in civilian casualties and 
[REDACTED] was later reclassified as SCP- 


An assault on the vessel these agents were using as a 
forward operating base in their activities was conducted 
afterwards. anomalous sub-Safe artifacts were 
recovered, possibly related to [DATA EXPUNGED] which 
might have been used to establish a safe and codified 
communication with SCP-1778, as well as several 
documents detailing codes, operational security 
protocols and operation handbooks related to the 
artifacts. Possible applications of these artifacts are 
being researched, and given the amount of data they 
provided on SCP-1778 communications system, they 
have been assigned to the research personnel of 
SCP-1778 under the composite designation - - to
