Dr. Clef's Proposal

A brief video recorded of SCP-001 at a safe vantage point at Site-0.

> **Dr. Clef's Proposal**, code-named **The Gate Guardian** and classified as **SCP-001**, is a large human-shaped figure made of fire with a temperature similar to that of the sun. It guards a portal leading to an unknown location with a fiery sword that can remove anyone from existence that touches it.

## **Special Containment Procedures:**

Because of SCP-001's natural idleness, no containment procedures are necessary (or possible). SCP-001 is to be constantly monitored by security cameras 24/7 at Site-0 which is safely located 10km away from SCP-001's location. The exact location of Site-0 is only known to the Current Administrator. The Overseer Agent of Abrahamic Faith (O5-14) is assigned to monitor SCP-001 and is assigned to take necessary action shouls SCP-001 become active. The Agent is also required to immediately alert the Current Administrator and all other Overseer Agents about any changes in behavior as it could lead to a PATMOS XK-class end-of-the-world scenario.

If SCP-001 becomes active in any way, personnel are required to follow the PATMOS Series of Emergency Orders. The instructions on how to decode the orders are to remain on Site-0 in the possession of the designated observer and shall only be sent to the SCP Foundation Offices if SCP-001 becomes active. Non-disposable Foundation Staff with vital roles in the PATMOS Emergency Procedures are advised to follow these precautions:

* Avoid discrimination against the Abrahamic Faiths (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Baha'i Faith, Yezidi, Druze, Samaritan, Rastafari, etc.) and any of their followers.
* Keep the following items on-hand: holy water, a rosary, crucifix, cross, prayer rug, or any other high-class symbol blessed by the religion's church (Catholic Church, Mosque, Synagogue, etc.), a copy of Abrahamic scriptures (Torah, Bible, Quran, etc.), and standard emergency supplies in a bug-out bag.
* Assign a secondary operator, preferably of atheist or Non-Abrahamic belief to take control over the primary operations if the primary Abrahamic team fail.
* Be aware of all SCPs that could assist in a PATMOS XK-class end-of-the-world scenario.

## **Description:**

SCP-001 is a large, humanoid entity standing tall at ~700 cubits (~1050 ft) located near the intersection of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The following features are known about the entity:

* A varying number of glowing, wing-like limbs growing out from the shoulders, back, temples, ankles, and wrists. Although an accurate estimate of how many wings SCP-001 has is unknown, a scale from 2-108 have been suggested, with 4 being the most accepted value.
* A sharp weapon theorized to either be a sword or a knife. This weapon is designated as SCP-001-2. According to a spectrogram, SCP-001-2 appears to emit flames with temperatures rivaling that of the sun (approx. 27,000,000**°F** or 15,000,000), but causes no harm to the nearby environment. If any animal, person or recording equipment like drones enter within 1km of SCP-001 will immediately be struck by SCP-001-2. Any hostility towards SCP-001, regardless of range or location, also leads to the culprit's termination.
* SCP-001 always bows their head downwards as if praying with SCP-001-2 held in both hands and pointed downwards in-front of it. Ever since its discovery in **[DATA EXPUNGED]**, SCP-001 has never moved from this position and keeps its head bowed even while striking with SCP-001-2.
* Humans making visual contact with SCP-001 often receive a message giving them a command which cannot be disobeyed. The most common message is "*FORGET*" which results in the individual walking away and soon forgetting about SCP-001's existence. However, there are rare occasions where the command has been alternated. The first time this has happened was on SCP-001's initial discovery by the Founder, who was instructed to "*PREPARE.*" Afterwards, the Founder went on to construct and form The SCP Foundation.
* Observers have reported that SCP-001 appears to be floating in-front of a large gateway. Photographs of this gateway sometimes reveal a landscape filled with entities similar to SCP-001 and several fruit trees. One tree has been observed to hold apples or another similar fruit like peaches or pomegranates. Other observed trees appear to have unique fruit trees that don't resemble any known fruit on earth.

It is believed by the founder that the gateway blocked by SCP-001 might be **[DATA EXPUNGED]** based on Babylonian Texts and Dead Sea Scrolls. If this is the case, this could identify SCP-001 as **[DATA EXPUNGED]**.

## **Addendum 001-a:** Experimentation re: SCP-001-2's effective kill range

### **1. EXPERIMENT A:** *1 Class-D Personnel was instructed to approach SCP-001 as close as possible on foot.*

**Result:** Upon seeing SCP-001, the subject was commanded to "*LEAVE.*" The subject obeys and turns around and leaves despite being told to resume the test by Foundation Personnel. After denying orders given by researchers, the Class-D Personnel is shot by guards. Shortly after the Class-d Personnel's termination, each researcher is burned to death, presumably by SCP-001-2.

### **2. EXPERIMENT B:** *1 remote-operated research robot guided to approach SCP-001 from the ground.*

**Result:** Within 1km of SCP-001, the Research Robot is obliterated by (presumably) SCP-002-2. Further attempts at approaching SCP-001 with remote-controlled equipment have resulted the same.

### **3. EXPERIMENT C:** *100 pre-programmed research drones instructed to approach SCP-001 from multiple angles simultaneously.*

**Result:** All 100 drones successfully approach the 1km radius while remaining coordinated in a circle, however, all drones are obliterated by SCP-001-2 simultaneously. A designated observer at Site-0 reported that SCP-001-2 had "[struck] in all directions at once." SCP-001-2 still didn't deviate from its position while doing this.

### **4. EXPERIMENT D:** *Wire-guided missile fired from a distance of 3 km.*

**Result:** SCP-001-2 obliterates the missile upon crossing the 1km border, destroying the launch site and all involved personnel.

### **5. EXPERIMENT E:** *Multi-Warhead Intercontinental Ballistic Missile fired from SCP nuclear submarine "Nautilus."*

**Result:** *See "Indian Ocean Submarine Missile Experiment, December 6th 2004".*

### **6. EXPERIMENT F:** *SCP-076 and Task Force Omega 7 instructed to approach SCP-001 on foot.*

**Result:** As soon as SCP-076 was informed that he was involved in an experiment, SCP-076 refused to join the operation despite not being told that the experiment involved SCP-001 yet. When questioned, SCP-076 responds with: "No. Just, no."

### **7. EXPERIMENT G:** *SCP-073. Due to the results of experiment F, SCP-073 was not informed of his destination until arriving at Site-0.*

**Result:** SCP-073 successfully approached the location on foot. Upon observing SCP-001, SCP-073 became notably distressed and requested to leave the experiment, with the symbol on his head becoming **[DATA EXPUNGED]**. After being commanded to proceed, SCP-073 proceeded to **[DATA EXPUNGED]**, terminating the experiment.

### **Addendum 001-aa:**

The Administrator has ordered that no further tests are to be permitted on SCP-001. This includes exposing other SCPs to SCP-001 and attempting to terminate dangerous SCPs by using SCP-001. Please see the revised containment procedures for further details.

## **ADDENDUM:**

On ██-██-████, the following message was received by Foundation Personnel:

```

The following message was received at approximately ████:██:██ this morning from Site-0.

Because of this event's confluence with the recent breach of SCP-995, the opening of SCP-616, and the activation of SCP-098, the Foundation is required to immediately begin preparations for an XK-class end-of-the-world scenario. SCP-076 and SCP-073 are to be secured immediately. All personnel are to unlock and decode Emergency Order Patmos-Omega, and follow all orders within. Site 19 is to be secured, and all nonessential SCPs and personnel terminated and/or destroyed.

After Site-0 was contacted with much concern, O5-14 reported that no such message was sent and that SCP-001 has remained docile. Immediately afterwards, the transmission was marked as a hoax. However, closer examination of the final censors reveals that the message was sent **[DATA EXPUNGED]** years into the future. The theory for this message is that **[DATA EXPUNGED]**.
