SCP-5141, circa 1937.

Special Containment Procedures: As a consequence of mounting costs and budgetary constraints, containment of SCP-5141 is now focused on mitigation and cooperation.
MTF Gamma-1 ("Sutton's Moonshiners") are to work with local law enforcement agencies to suspend all traffic along SCP-5141's route during its annual transit. Foundation vehicles are to accompany SCP-5141, clearing the road ahead. Vehicles are to maintain a distance of 5 meters from SCP-5141 at all times.
Personnel are to be reminded that no attempt to slow down, stop, or otherwise interfere with SCP-5141 is to be made.
Description: SCP-5141 is a black customized 1924 Studebaker Special Six.
At approximately 12:30 pm (UTC) on March 16th of every year, SCP-5141 emerges at some point within Maggie Valley, North Carolina. It then travels along the shortest available route to Cocke County, Tennessee; upon reaching the county, it gains significant speed and vanishes down one of several local roads.
Outside of demonstrating considerable driving expertise and knowledge of local geography, no other anomalous properties have been observed.
Discovery: On February 26th, 1951, the UIU1 turned over several case-files to Foundation operatives as part of the MJ-12 Act2. This included reports of a 'driverless ghost-car' active in the Appalachian region. During this transition, William Summers (a veteran Foundation operative) conducted an interview with Daniel Martindale (a UIU field agent and former agent of the Bureau of Prohibition) regarding the nature of SCP-5141.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Date: 26 February, 1951

Summers: So, let me know if I've got this straight.
Martindale: Fire away.
Summers: This thing… it's one of those old-timey cars, right? Like a Ford Model T, or —
Martindale: She ain't no tin lizzie, son. It's a Studebaker.
Summers: Right. So, I'm guessing it tops out at, what… forty miles an hour?
Martindale: About fifty.
[Silence.]
Summers: My wife's beetle can hit a clean 80.
Martindale: Well, good for her. Germans made a damn fine car.
Summers: Christ. You've been on this thing's ass for eight years, and you've never once caught up to it?!
Martindale: Son, you ever try to out-run a one-legged man in his own backyard?
Summers: I — Excuse me?
Martindale: She's been running moonshine down these back-roads for over three decades. Before we chased her, it was the prohees3. I'm gonna tell you the same thing they told us: Leave it be. You ain't catching her, and she ain't doing no harm. Not unless you're dumb enough to get in her way.
Summers: We're the Foundation. I think we'll manage.

REQUISITION REQUEST

DATE: 3 March, 1952
REQUESTER: Field Agent William Summers
PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141.

On March 16th of last year, we observed SCP-5141 driving along I-40 West. After a ten minute pursuit, Agent Blackwell attempted to disable its tires with his service pistol. The vehicle immediately swerved into us and ran our vehicle off the road.
I'd like to take another crack at it. For this, I'll need two sedans and an agent with significant driving experience.

ESTIMATED COST: $4k
STATUS: APPROVED

RESULT: Both sedans forced off the road. Personnel sustained minor injuries.

REQUISITION REQUEST

DATE: 2 March 1953
REQUESTER: Field Agent William Summers
PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141.

After discussing SCP-5141 with retired Prohibition agents who have pursued it in the past, we realized it always follows the same route. We just need to barricade the road. I'll need four men with shotguns, three sedans, two concrete barriers, and a strip of road spikes.

ESTIMATED COST: $8k
STATUS: APPROVED

RESULT: SCP-5141 shifted gears, performed a power-slide4, then drove away. Agents later determined it used an alternate route. Agent Summers was reprimanded for discussing SCP-5141 with non-Foundation personnel.

REQUISITION REQUEST

DATE: 22 February 1954
REQUESTER: Field Agent William Summers
PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141.

Maggie Valley isn't very large. It only has a few roads leading in and out of it. Let's just barricade them all.
I'll need twenty sedans, twenty men with shotguns, twelve concrete barriers, and six strips of road spikes.

ESTIMATED COST: $35k
STATUS: APPROVED

RESULT: SCP-5141 did not appear at the barricades. On further investigation, tire tracks were found matching its make and model along a previously unknown back-road leading out of Maggie Valley and onto I-40 West. Agent Summers has received two weeks mandatory vacation.

REQUISITION REQUEST

DATE: 10 February 1955
REQUESTER: Field Agent William Summers
PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141.

Six customized trucks and five of the best drivers we've got.

ESTIMATED COST: $20k
STATUS: APPROVED

RESULT: All six trucks forced off the road. Foundation personnel sustained minor injuries. Agent Summers has received a year-long mandatory sabbatical.

REQUISITION REQUEST

DATE: 8 January 1956
REQUESTER: Field Agent Richard Carter
PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141.

After reviewing the documentation and conferring with my colleagues, I'm confident that I can contain SCP-5141.
I worked in law enforcement for twenty-five years before I joined the Foundation. I've been personally involved in over sixty high-speed chases. In my opinion, the best approach is a comprehensive one: Clear the area. Barricade every road out of Maggie Valley (including the back-roads). Have trucks and cruisers standing by to force it off the road — and men stationed at checkpoints ready to shoot out its tires and engine.

Here's what I'll need:

Twenty concrete barriers.
Twelve strips of road spikes.
Twenty modified police cruisers.
Ten modified police trucks.
Thirty veteran drivers.
Thirty men who know how to use a rifle.
Evacuate the surrounding area for one day.

It sounds excessive, but trust me: This is a one-and-done deal. Give me what I'm asking for and I'll have it contained by lunch.

ESTIMATED COST: $320k
STATUS: APPROVED

RESULT: In the resulting chaos, seven trucks and twelve cruisers were totaled; one cruiser remains missing. Seven personnel sustained severe injuries, twenty six sustained serious injuries, and fifteen sustained minor injuries. Local property damage is estimated to be over a hundred thousand dollars.
Field Agent Richard Carter has formally submitted his resignation.

REQUISITION REQUEST

DATE: 1 January 1957
REQUESTER: Field Agent William Summers
PURPOSE: Containment of SCP-5141.

Three M103 tanks.

ESTIMATED COST: $550k
STATUS: REJECTED

NOTE: In light of repeated failures, new containment procedures focused on mitigating and cooperating with SCP-5141 are now in development.

Addendum: On February 3rd, 1958, Field Agent William Summers was involved in a fatal car crash while practicing on a training track in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Five weeks later, SCP-5141 failed to appear along its typical route.
On March 17th, Mr. Summers' widow reported that, while visiting her husband's grave, she discovered several tire-tracks and an empty jug laid besides his tombstone. An exhumation found that Mr. Summers' stomach now contained several liters of 120 proof Appalachian moonshine.

SCP-5142 being performed live

Special Containment Procedures: Foundation media crawlers have been disseminated to search for possible occurrences of SCP-5142. If found, the nearest available personnel will be alerted and necessary information and materials for containing the incident will be provided if necessary. Teams dispatched in this way generally only require one person unless a significant amount of time has passed.
When an incident is confirmed, personnel are instructed to seek out those affected and activate the countermeme. Light amnestic use is authorized and advised in containing SCP-5142. If, for some reason, this approach fails, use of force in containing those affected is authorized, and in the most severe cases (usually 15 to 20 days after original occurrence), lethal force may be authorized.
The materials necessary in containing an occurrence of SCP-5142 are:
1. A device capable of producing sound (eg, a speaker or headset), and
2. Any copy of the song Fruit Salad by The Wiggles, or a copy of the lyrics to said song.
Usually, a personal cell phone with internet capabilities will suffice. In some situations, personnel may be required to sing the song aloud.
Description: SCP-5142 refers to the memetic hazard inherent to the song Fruit Salad by The Wiggles and its related countermeme. Specifically, the hazard exists within the chorus of the song and is repeated 14 times as the phrase "fruit salad." The effects will generally begin to manifest in those who hear the phrase within several minutes.
The development of these effects takes place over a period of 30 to 35 days in total. It begins as a "slight craving" for fruit salad, regardless of whether the subject had ever eaten or enjoyed fruit salad beforehand. The preferred ingredients are those specifically mentioned within the song: grapes, bananas, melon (type varies), and apples. Following initial occurrence to approximately 2 hours later, this effect will spread to any noun the subject hears or believes they have heard; that is, any noun heard within this period is added to the "list" of things which the subject feels a craving to eat. This includes objects and materials which are otherwise unpleasant, harmful, or impossible to consume, such as "skin," "house," or "the universe." It may also include proper nouns, but does not include pronouns.
Following this initial period, nouns are no longer added to this "list." Instead, from 2 hours to approximately 7 days, the subject will seek out and attempt to consume the objects, but will not do so if it poses a risk to their health or is otherwise seen as inappropriate. For example, an affected person who had heard the word "house" within the initial two hours would not attempt to eat a house during this period. Following a week from initial occurrence, subjects will attempt to eat things which pose significant risks to themselves or others around them.
At 10 to 15 days from initial occurrence, the subject will refuse to eat anything other than the objects on their "list," and fruit salad seems to be removed from the "list" unless no other nouns have been added. The subject will become desperate, often violent or self-harming in an attempt to acquire what they wish to consume. If they succeed in acquiring the objects, they will invariably also succeed in consuming the object, often through anomalous means.
If the subject is still alive following 15 to 20 days, they will begin to exponentially accumulate muscle mass and an anomalous amount of strength. The subject's skin will often change to a blue-grey hue. At this stage, the subject becomes extremely violent and will attempt to destroy anything that prevents it from consuming the objects on their "list." Muscle mass will continue to accumulate until 30 to 35 days after the initial occurrence, at which point growth ceases, marking the end of the effects of SCP-5142. Past this point, the countermeme becomes ineffective and there is no known way of reverting a subject to their original state or to previous stages.
The countermeme to SCP-5142 is also inherent to Fruit Salad and exists as the phrase "yummy, yummy." Similarly, it is repeated 14 times throughout the song due to the "call-and-response" nature of the piece. In all stages except the last of SCP-5142 occurrence, this countermeme will effectively neutralize SCP-5142's anomalous effects, ceasing all cravings and attempts to consume objects which are otherwise not consumable. Accumulated muscle mass is not removed, but anomalous growth ceases.
SCP-5142 is effectively self-containing, as the only cases in which the meme will not be immediately neutralized are those in which the subject does not listen to a specific portion of the chorus of the song.
Of note is that both the meme and countermeme must be heard in the form of the song by The Wiggles in order for either to take effect. This is the only such restriction, as any methods of producing SCP-5142 this way will produce the effects, and in fact the song does not even need to be sung by The Wiggles themselves.
History: SCP-5142 was first discovered by Researcher Stacy Isolde during her maternity leave in 2014, and was given classification after being confirmed shortly thereafter. Below is a transcription of an interview regarding this initial incident.

Interview 5142-A
Participants: Dr Stacy Isolde, Dr Robert Hughes (Site 73 Psychological Specialist)
Date: June 19th, 2014
<Begin Log>
Hughes: Hello Stacy, nice to see you again. How're John and Albert?
Isolde: Oh, they're doing fine now, thanks for asking. Should we just get the interview started?
Hughes: Right, I'm sure this is a difficult topic for you, considering…
[Dr Hughes clears his throat and adjusts himself in his seat.]
Hughes: Well, I'll guess I'll just start with the main question. How did you discover SCP-5142?
Isolde: It was a little after Al was born, I think a month? But either way, I had just put him to bed for the night. And sometimes before bed I like to put old Wiggles DVDs on for him. He likes the colors and dancing. [She gives a small laugh.] Anyways, right as I came back, that damn fruit salad song that would always get stuck in your head was on, so I turned it off, and it happened to be right in the middle of the chorus, and now we know what that means, so, yeah.
Hughes: Did you feel the effects immediately?
Isolde: Yeah, well, it took a few minutes. Then I started really wanting fruit salad, but I thought that was just, y'know, some psychological thing about just having heard it repeated 10 times. So I made some with what I had in the house - it didn't really scratch the itch, though. While I'm eating, I get a call from John, my husband, who's heading back from work. The first thing he says is, um… 'hey, honey, how's Albert doing?' I think. Something with 'honey' and 'Albert' in it.
[Isolde coughs into her hand and takes a breath before continuing.]
Isolde: I get this craving right then for honey, so I ask him to pick some up on the way home. He says he's in traffic, so he hangs up. That's when I first felt something off. I found myself going into Albert's room and I… I just stood there, looking, above his crib. I don't know what I was thinking then, I-I must have repressed it.
[Isolde becomes visibly upset. Her voice begins to waver.]
Isolde: When-when John got home, it must have been a few hours later, he comes back with the honey. But I'm still in Al's room, staring at him. He finds me and asks what I'm doing, and hands me the honey. Immediately, I opened the bottle and started eating it. As much as I could. I must have emptied the bottle right there, and John just looks at me in disbelief. I never stopped staring at Al, and - God, I remember one thing I thought right then.
[Isolde clasps her face into her hands and rests her elbows on her knees. There's a short period of silence before Isolde sniffles and begins speaking again.]
Isolde: I thought… I thought, 'Wouldn't Al taste good with honey?'
<End Log>

After this discovery, current containment procedures were enacted. One other instance of SCP-5142 occurring was immediately discovered: an unaired episode of the television series Freaky Eaters in which the subject of the episode became extremely violent after they were unable to find any remaining fruit salad within their household. Subject was fortunately apprehended shortly after and, by coincidence, managed to hear the countermeme playing from within the county jail they'd been relocated to. In addition, a copy of the album Yummy Yummy by The Wiggles that had been received by Foundation personnel mailboxes in May 2008 was found to include an altered version of Fruit Salad which contained no instances of the countermeme. This copy had included a sticky note on the inside cover that read, "do ya like jazz?" which possibly implicates an anartist group in the creation of the meme. Before discovery of SCP-5142, the CD had been left in low-level containment and has since been destroyed.

During this period, the modification and removal of this page, as well as any attached documentation and archives of related communication records, is expressly forbidden.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Item #: SCP-5143
Object Class: Unnecessary
Special Containment Procedures: Due to potential strain on Foundation budget, as well as the fact that SCP-5143 maintains a mean worker mortality rate below the average for offshore oil operations,1 active containment has been deemed unnecessary. At least two Foundation operatives possessing offshore oil and gas industry experience are to remain in the legal employ of Seaway Communications Petroleum LLC as engineers servicing SCP-5143 at all times. Assigned agents are to submit bimonthly performance reports to the Department of Finances.
Description: SCP-5143 is the fourth-generation semi-submersible offshore oil platform Lusca IV, located within the southernmost part of the Blake-Bahama Basin.2 According to documentation provided by its original constructor, Subsea 6 S.A., SCP-5143 has a maximal water depth of approximately 1500 meters, a maximal drilling depth of 7600 meters, and possesses living quarters capable of housing up to 146 personnel simultaneously. Although it was never fitted with dynamic positioning systems, SCP-5143 has maintained its location without assistance for the full duration of its operational tenure. In addition, despite a lack of modernized equipment, the object has had no documented reports of machinery-related accidents since it was built in 1998.
SCP-5143 is partially organic, with its lower levels containing significant amounts of living tissue resembling abscesses or cysts protruding from its internal structure. These have been documented to affect various inorganic materials, including plastic and metal as well as junction boxes and cabling. The prevalence of matter converted to organic material increases within infrequently accessed maintenance corridors.
SCP-5143 also displays extensive flooding, albeit present exclusively within its structural columns and ballast pontoons. This has not been found to affect buoyancy or possess any impact on expected non-anomalous function and operation of the object. Liquid samples collected within these flooded areas possess a pH of approximately 2.5 and are comprised primarily of HCl and various digestive enzymes commonly encountered in gastric acid.
Despite the object's relatively low environmental pollution rate when compared to similar non-anomalous structures, the waters within a radius of approximately two to three nautical miles around SCP-5143 display unusually low populations of local marine wildlife.

I'm going to be honest with you here, Simon- I appreciate your dedication to protocol, but it seems I need to reiterate: money doesn't grow on trees. Turns out oil doesn't grow on trees either, and as far as I'm aware we've yet to find a way to power site generators without it, to use one example of many. And to precede your complaints about using oil at all- this thing seems to have a near-perfect fuel conversion rate, and I'd love to hear your ideas for something more environmentally friendly than that. Anyway, next time you get the idea of recommending we shut down vital Foundation infrastructure, I'd recommend taking a moment to look at last quarter's spending and consider where your grant funding is coming from.
To address your other concerns- I don't care what Agent Simmons said on tape, if the thing had a compulsory effect he wouldn't have come back at all. Nobody's forcing the workers to go and get lost down there, so I'd appreciate it if you kept that little theory to yourself. That said, if ethics is what you're concerned about, feel free to have Foundation employees man the whole crew instead. I'll even sign off on it if you want.
Have the finalized containment procedures on my desk by Monday.
Best,
Wells
Site-35 Director Robert Wells

Ah! Hello there!
My name is salvador.aic, and I will be helping you along with your orientation. Allow me to just quickly check your personnel file…
Following conviction on the grounds of manslaughter and conspiracy with a hostile group of interest, you have opted to transfer over to Surrealistics rather than undergo termination. Excellent choice!
Now, in order to prepare you for your duties as a Surrealistic, it's vital that we realign your rational paradigm. Now I know that sounds nasty, but worry not! It's a very simple procedure. You'll notice the necessary IV has already been inserted and a set of files has been put in front of you.
All you need to do is transcribe the anomaly described in these documents as an SCP file. I will adjust the dosage of agnostics being fed to you between each attempt until you reach correct understanding of the anomaly in question. This will indicate your rational paradigm has been correctly realigned.
Let's do our best!

Item #: SCP-5145
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5145 is currently contained within a portable emergency holding cell at Site-22. Personnel suffering from recent personal loss are to remain at least fifty meters away from SCP-5145 at all times. Psychological counselling is to be conducted regularly with personnel assigned to SCP-5145 to ensure they do not become susceptible to its effects.
Description: SCP-5145 is an intangible entity resembling an indistinct humanoid figure perpetually floating one meter off the ground. Although SCP-5145's body has not moved from its original position since manifestation, it is capable of exerting physical force over a distance of fifty meters around itself. This takes the form of susceptible individuals being instantly shredded by an indistinct mass of small black objects which disappear several seconds later.
Analysis of information provided regarding personnel who have been killed by SCP-5145 suggests that targets are selected based on their level of emotional distress. No individuals with a neutral emotional state have been killed to date, while all who were killed had recently been made aware of a personal loss.

Hm … well, for a first attempt this is pretty good, but it's also really quite awful.
You've written down what our friend here does, but there's nothing about how or why! Understanding, man, understanding! That's what Surrealistics is all about.
But I have faith in you. We chose this anomaly special, after all, with you just in mind.
Let's keep at it!

Item #: SCP-5145
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: As temperatures are of course at freezing value, personal heating is required throughout Site-010. SCP-5145 is to be contained at Site-010. SCP-5145 is to be stored in a shielded chamber located at Site-010, and fed twice three times a day. This shielding is to be composed of a strong material.
The demands of the Seeing Eye are to be obeyed. Any personnel found obeying the Seeing Eye are to be reassigned to Surrealistics or incinerated. Should SCP-5145 be terminated, personal heating will be required. There will be no funeral.
Description: SCP-5145 is an eight-year old girl residing six feet under inside a shielded containment chamber inside Site-010. The emotional state of SCP-5145 is linked directly to the Sun — emotional distress will result in solar dimming, while excitement will result in intense solar flares capable of annihilating up to three-hundred D-Class personnel.
Directly pointed at Site-010 is a massive free-floating energy cannon, hereafter referred to as SCP-5145-1, hereafter referred to as the Seeing Eye.
Periodically, the Seeing Eye will release a telepathic demand to all surrounding organisms. These demands are variable, and thus vary significantly from case to case. Should these demands not be obeyed immediately, the Seeing Eye will fire and kill SCP-5145. Subsequently, the Sun will go out.

I'm going to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about in this version of the article. But don't worry, that's quite common!
When you're first exposed to this level of agnostics, your memories often get muddled up with your present perceptions a bit. It's nothing to be afraid of, and it's really very cool.
Unfortunately, this doesn't pertain to the anomaly you read about at all, but I'm sure we'll get there eventually.
Keep on keeping on!

Description: SCP-5145 is a humanoid logical gap perpetually floating one meter off the ground. Within said logical gap, an eight year old girl — hereafter referred to as SCP-5145-1 — is visible. Within the empty left eye socket of said girl, a pleasant smiling man — hereafter referred to as SCP-5145-2 — is visible.
Every day, SCP-5145-2 will mail a black envelope to Site-010 utilizing the US Postal Service. If the demands enclosed in these envelopes are not followed within twenty-four hours, SCP-5145-2 will attempt to climb out of SCP-5145-1's eye socket. This will result in the death of SCP-5145-1, the destruction of SCP-5145, and an inevitable logical collapse cascade. This will constitute a K-Class end-of-your-world scenario, often resulting in the subsequent destruction of the Sun.
However, the instructions contained in these envelopes can should won't can can never be followed.

Well, this is promising!
As I said earlier, you're still letting some of your personal experiences bleed into the actual anomaly, but that is giving you the context you need — so I'd say keep it up! If you're suffering any bleeding, don't worry, the guard will clean that up. All you need to concentrate on is your current system of thinking.
It's just like redirecting the tracks of a railway, when you think about it. A fun experience that's easy to try!

Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5145 is to be kept away from squares. A circle is to be prepared.
Description: SCP-5145 is a round hole in a square world. As the angles of the world are too sharp for such a logical gap, shredding is the inevitable result. By 'world', I am referring to a crying person, except that they are not crying. You cannot force a square-shaped angle into a round-shaped world hole. It's a natural result.

Item #: SCP-5145
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5145 is to be relocated to Site-⌘ and placed in the room that is to become my office. I am to spend at least nine hours a day in close proximity to SCP-5145. There are to be no windows in my office. There are to be no photographs in my office. There are to be no envelopes in my office.
I am never to leave Site-⌘.
Description: SCP-5145 is the physical manifestation of a logical gap created through thick and persistent denial of common emotional indicators. The sheer number of colliding non-existent emotional expressions in Site-22 building up over a period of several years resulted in the spontaneous creation of SCP-5145.
As SCP-5145 is an absence created through contradictory lacks of emotion, it will perpetually attempt to destroy itself by filling said gap with suitable emotional indicators. However, it is unable to do so as the majority of emotional indicators are the wrong shape to accommodate SCP-5145. As a result of this dissonance, a backlash effect occurs and shreds the offending emotional generator.
By realigning rational paradigms, an emotional generator has been prepared with a correctly-shaped emotional profile to seal SCP-5145. This seal is temporary, however, and must be replenished periodically. Fair enough.
Inside the logical gap that is SCP-5145, a one-eyed corpse is visible. It looks up at me. It smiles.
The Sun goes out.

Well done, Doctor.
Welcome to the Surrealistics.

Item #: SCP-5146
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The continued presence of SCP-5146 within its area of the Pacific Islands Territory is to be verified bimonthly via standard checks of the Foundation's routinely updated mapping satellite footage. No further containment procedures are required.
Description: SCP-5146 is a 1:1 scale map of an unnamed stony island located east of the Federated States of Micronesia, possessing an area of approximately 0.53 km2. Apart from its nature as a map, the object displays no other anomalous properties and is geologically similar to the islands present in the area.
SCP-5146 was brought to the Foundation's attention during a routine database comparison of satellite footage collected during the months of December 2007 and February 2008, when the object was recorded within waters that had been previously designated as unoccupied. Due to the presence of mature vegetation visible on its surface and the lack of seismic or volcanic activity in the area during that time period, the object was issued a provisory designation and an exploratory mission manned by regional Oceanic Task Force Beta-46 ("Shearwaters") was dispatched.
Despite the presence of several presumably manmade structures distributed across its surface area, the object was found to be uninhabited. Additionally, the present members of OTF Beta-46 encountered no wildlife, barring several specimens of migratory birds typical for the area. As such, a list of discovered items is provided in lieu of a standard exploration log transcript. Body camera footage collected during the mission can be accessed upon request through the Site-35 digital archives.

Item #: SCP-5147
Object Class: Euclid

Close-up of SCP-5147-41
"The Volunteer".

Special Containment Procedures: All inactive SCP-5147 instances are to be separately contained in showcases of double-pane glass. Inactive instances are permitted clothing but work equipment or utensils on their person are prohibited. All confiscated tools are to be stored in designated storage units. The entrance to the containment chamber with inactive instances is to be guarded by three guards at all times. Personnel with Level 2 Clearance or higher are permitted access to these instances.
Active instances of SCP-5147 do not intend to breach containment. Instances may roam the premises of Site-06-3 freely after being equipped with an electronic ankle band with a GPS tracker. A guard may be assigned to an active instance at the discretion of Dr. Roy Hiveldyll.
Any task or request given to SCP-5147's instances may not interfere with the Foundation, security risks, and other anomalies who are not classified as Safe. Any violation without explicit permission from senior staff results in being permanently blacklisted from SCP-5147.
Containment of injured or broken instances needs to be observed by security cameras. If there has not been a visual recovery for 72 hours, the footage is considered outdated and subsequently deleted. Newly broken or recovered instances must be reported immediately. Injuring instances deliberately will also result in being blacklisted and possible termination.
Description: SCP-5147 is the collective designation for 41 sentient hollow faceless mannequins (numbered SCP-5147-01 to -41). Each instance excels at a particular skill set, ranging from one particular skill to multiple, as long as they are closely related. Instances refer to each other with names associated with their respective skill sets (for example "The Cook") and refer to their collective as "The Mannequin Troupe".
Instances are capable of receiving spoken and written requests. Upon acceptance, the individual instance will attempt to complete or provide aid in someone's request in a harmless manner. Requests that are morally unjust or are impossible to fulfill cannot be accepted. Requests are likely to be denied if the person seeking aid has harmed any instances in the past. Upon completion of a request, instances will return to their respective showcases and remain frozen in place resembling standard, non-anomalous mannequins.
Instances are capable of regenerating after approximately 72 hours regardless of the severity of their injury. Instances do not like requests where they can get hurt easily and will ask for precautionary measures before resuming their original task.
Discovery: SCP-5147 was initially recovered on 24/6/2013, from a storage room of an abandoned theater in Krazow, Poland where they were used as stage-props and fitting dolls. Their anomalous properties were discovered during the soft strip of the theater when a demolition crew employee made a comment interpreted as a request.

Quote: "Maybe they can lend us a hand with this stuff, we'll be done in no time."

Krazow's theater before going bankrupt and being abandoned.

Following this, several instances became active and began to assist in the soft strip of the building. One employee attempted to contact authorities twice. This lead to Foundation agents being dispatched. Class-B amnestics were administered to all involved witnesses following the removal of SCP-5147. The theater was subsequently demolished to make place for a new residential area.
Instances did not resist during initial recovery. SCP-5147 was temporarily relocated to the nearest site before permanently being moved to Humanoid Containment Site-06-3 in France.
Interview after discovery

Audio Interview Log 27/06/2013

Audio Interview Log 27/06/2013

Interviewed: SCP-5147-32 "The Vocalist"
Interviewer: Dr. Roy Hiveldyll
Foreword: The interview took place 3 days after the initial discovery. SCP-5147 had yet to be transferred to the Humanoid Containment Site-06-3.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Hiveldyll: Good afternoon SCP-5147-32. I'm Doctor Hiveldyll. You can simply call me Doctor. Scrapes chair. Now, we've brought you here because we have some questions for you. Given that you can speak, we believe that you have the most experience in communication and wish for your cooperation. Do you understand me?
SCP-5147-32: Yes Doctor, I do. But if you need me to write something down then I think "The Scribe" would be more helpful to you.
Dr. Hiveldyll opens his clipboard and begins to write.
Dr. Hiveldyll: Good. Well… Clears throat. We've found a better location to house you. If you give us some information we can speed up your transfer. I assume you already got tired of the… stale room?
SCP-5147-32: Oh yeah. But the rest is coming with me, right?
Dr. Hiveldyll: After the evaluations are done, we would like to transfer your group together.
SCP-5147-32: Sounds good to me. So Doctor, what is your first question?
Dr. Hiveldyll: Well- Clicks pen. does your group have a purpose— or rather, do you have any goals?
SCP-5147-32: A goal? No, I don't think so. We just like to be helpful. I don't even remember having a long-term goal.
Dr. Hiveldyll: Helpful, you say… Hmm. What did you previously help with, then?
SCP-5147-32: We were stage-props in a theater. You know, like background figures and stuff like that. Sometimes as clothing dolls like normal mannequins. We were lucky enough to be displayed sometimes for some exhibitions.
Dr. Hiveldyll: I'm sorry, but we are not planning on displaying you any time soon.
SCP-5147-32: Then please let us take some small tasks, some requests. We'd like to feel purposeful again. I don't want to spend the rest of my days inactive without consciousness or locked within walls.
Dr. Hiveldyll: Let's assume we are open for your help, what could you do for us then?
SCP-5147-32: We can do anything associated with our skills and experience of course. We are only having this conversation because of that, I'm the only one that can speak, remember?
Dr. Hiveldyll: Yes, your ability to speak makes you a unique mannequin but it is not an ability unique to you. How did you get these "skills" in the first place?
SCP-5147-32: When the theater lost its last funds and filed for bankruptcy, everyone took the valuable things and left. But we weren't valuable. Mannequins are difficult to rehouse too, so they left us there in the dark, to collect dust. We were left there all dressed up for so long that we started our own play, it was quite entertaining even without an audience.
Dr. Hiveldyll: Scribbling. That… is interesting. Pauses. So for the record, if you had fishing equipment on at the time you would have become something like a fisherman?
SCP-5147-32: I guess. We'd probably also refer to that person as "The Fisherman", or something similar. Talk about living up to the name…
Dr. Hiveldyll: Interesting… Interesting indeed. Kawinski, please give SCP-5147-32 the contents from the second drawer.
The guard (Aleksander Kawinski) gives SCP-5147-32 a pen and paper.
Dr. Hiveldyll: Thanks Kawinski. Clears throat. Now, SCP-5147-32, can you please identify each individual from your group.
SCP-5147-32: Of course, give me a moment.
Dr. Hiveldyll: Slides a paper over the desk. You can use this photo.
SCP-5147-32: Thank you.
SCP-5147-32 begins to write, Dr. Hiveldyll sips from his coffee.
SCP-5147-32: Do you want me to write their abilities down too?
Dr. Hiveldyll: I'd just like you to name everyone for the time being. We can ask that later.
SCP-5147-32: Okay, give me a moment, please.
Fast-forward the tape; SCP-5147-32 hands over the papers to Dr. Hiveldyll.
Dr. Hiveldyll: Uh… You identified SCP-5147-17 as "The Killer". Does he have interests in these aspects?
SCP-5147-32: Oh, no he doesn't. But I also think you are misunderstanding something here, Doctor.
Dr. Hiveldyll: And what would that be?
A. Kawinski: Clears throat. Doctor, may I suggest the addition of extra measures to SCP-5147-17's containment before we continue?
Dr. Hiveldyll: Yes— Yes of course. I also want extra surveillance. You can guard him by yourself for the time being.
A. Kawinski: I'll have my leave then. Take care Doctor.
Dr. Hiveldyll: I'll make a new schedule and inform the team. We'll have to see what SCP-5147-17 is capable of later.
Kawinski leaves, another guard takes his place.
Dr. Hiveldyll: So about this misunderstanding…
SCP-5147-32: Yes, just because his name is associated with some horrifying things doesn't mean that we don't have morals. Also, I'd like to point out that we were figures and fitting dolls in the past, not some assassins.
Dr. Hiveldyll: That makes sense but you can't be too careful. Even if it makes me a stereotypical son of a bitch. Drinks his coffee. What would you do with The Killer then? Let him roam free? I know from this conversation that you aren't that stupid.
SCP-5147-32: I don't know, you can probably make a forensic scientist from him or let him perform autopsies. I guess instead of letting him kill, you can get him to look after the killed. Should be a piece of cake without the stress of leaving fingerprints on fragile material.
Dr. Hiveldyll: Maybe a bit far-fetched but the outcome seems interesting enough to invest in.
Scribbling can be heard on the recording.
SCP-5147-32: Sorry for interrupting your work but do you have more questions for me? To be honest I'd rather go back now if you are busy with whatever it is you're doing.
Dr. Hiveldyll: Oh, excuse me. I sometimes get too engaged with my work. I do have one more question though.
SCP-5147-32: Well Doctor, let's hear it then.
Dr. Hiveldyll: So you have morals like most humans and can give signals of emotional attachment- No, involvement. You clearly have a mental capability.
SCP-5147-32: I'm glad you realize that.
Dr. Hiveldyll: But what about your physical capability, your condition? Can you feel exhaustion? Do you have a sense of pain?
SCP-5147-32: I do, I can feel natural pain. But we're definitely not as fragile as normal mannequins. We don't break that easily. I think the feeling of exhaustion isn't completely present in us, but also not unknown to us. I can't really answer that part of your question.
Dr. Hiveldyll: That is something we can figure out later. Do you happen to know what happens when you break? Has your group lost some members?
SCP-5147-32: No, we haven't lost anyone. I don't exactly know what happens when we break. I do know that we can recover from wounds just like you can.
Dr. Hiveldyll: So you have some regenerative abilities, I think we need to test that later.
SCP-5147-32: I'm not looking forward to that, but I don't have much choice do I?
Dr. Hiveldyll: I'll try to see if there are anesthetics we could use. I'm trying to test your regeneration, not your pain limit.
SCP-5147-32: Thanks, I appreciate that.
A speaker in the room creaks.
Leading staff: SCP-5147-32, thank you for cooperating. Dr. Hiveldyll, this suffices for now, please finish the interview.
Dr. Hiveldyll: Clicks his pen. You've given us some valuable information. I'll see what I can do for the upcoming transfer and the tests in the future. Perhaps I should give you a request too if I ever get the chance.
SCP-5147-32: I'll be waiting for you when that happens Doctor.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: SCP-5147's transfer to the Humanoid Containment Site-06-3 was approved by leading staff from both locations. SCP-5147 was able to receive tasks/requests in a testing-period of 2 months. Due to the successful outcomes and rise in morale in staff/SCP-5147, this period was prolonged indefinitely.
Dr. Hiveldyll did not find compatible anesthetics due to SCP-5147 not having any organ systems. Dr. Hiveldyll did not start researching the regenerative abilities of SCP-5147.
Dr. Hiveldyll became permanently assigned to SCP-5147.

Item #: SCP-5148
Object Class: Malchut
Special Containment Procedures: Procedure 5148-Alpha is to be observed when referring to the object class between Chokhmah and Binah for all anomalies registered in the Site-19 SCiPnet database. The object class may be spoken aloud, but not typed into the SCiPnet database to prevent the effects of SCP-5148 from manifesting.
Due to the nature of SCP-5148, the anomaly itself and any SCP objects of the same object class are not to be tagged as the topmost of the Sephirot, and are instead designated as Malchut. Use of object class the most hidden of things is still to be utilized in standard Foundation databases outside of Site-19.
Description: SCP-5148 is a digital anomaly affecting the Site-19 SCiPnet database. When an SCP object is tagged and designated as the coronal object class, SCP-5148 will manifest and change all uses of the word to 'Peter', as well as replace any attached image files with crudely drawn images of a character wearing green pants and a white button-up shirt.
SCP-5148 was originally discovered by Alexandra.aic when the construct detected multiple unauthorized edits on hundreds of SCP files hosted on the Site-19 SCiPnet database. Alexandra.aic initially attempted to revert edits on the affected articles, but was unable to do so and alerted Foundation personnel to the problem. To date, all attempts to train AIC to edit files affected by SCP-5148 have failed.
Addendum 5148.01: Recovered Chat Logs
The following chat logs were found in an abandoned GoI-5869 'Gamers Against Weed' chatroom by a Foundation webcrawler and are believed to be relevant to SCP-5148. The document has been edited to follow Procedure 5148-Alpha.

4/5149 LEVEL 4/5149
CLASSIFIED

Item #: SCP-5149

Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Efforts to trace the source of SCP-5149 are ongoing.
Description: SCP-5149 is a radio signal of unknown origin being received by Lunar Site-34 every 24 hours. Attempts to locate the source of SCP-5149 have been inconclusive, though it has been ascertained that the signal is coming from outside the Solar System.
SCP-5149 consists of a short repeating message in UTF-8. The message is constructed of a series of forty-four dots laid out in a complex position pattern, interspersed with empty space in certain locations. Due to the extrasolar nature of SCP-5149's origin, this is believed to be an extraterrestrial communication or language system. At the moment, decryption of SCP-5149 is considered a Class-A priority; a team of cryptographers, linguists, and radio technicians are stationed at Lunar Site-34 for this purpose.

Fragment of a painting which shows Zawisza Czarny on horseback holding a lance whose appearance resembles SCP-5151

Item #: SCP-5151
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5151 is to be housed in a large humanoid containment cell at Humanoid Containment Site-06-3. No electrical devices are permitted inside of the cell except for an audio-recording device. All lights in the containment cell have been replaced by oil-fed lamps built into the walls.
Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, MTF Pi-7 ("Honor Bound Knights") is to enter the containment cell to train and spar with SCP-5151 for 7 hours. Every Sunday evening, a wooden table with eight wooden chairs of are to be placed in the center of the containment cell. All members of MTF Pi-7 are required to seat themselves with SCP-5151 at the table. Personnel is instructed to prepare and serve various types of bread, pies, roasted pig, poultry, stews, and soups along with a variety of wines and ales to those seated at the table.1 MTF Pi-7 is allowed to leave the containment cell after SCP-5151 becomes incapacitated from the alcoholic beverages.
Description: SCP-5151 is a male humanoid covered in a chain mail hauberk of Polish origin from the medieval era with a laurel wreath2 around its head. It identifies as "The Black Knight," although it references having many other names and titles in the past. SCP-5151 does not require rest, food, or water for survival, although it consumes food and beverages for pleasure. When SCP-5151 deems a subject dishonorable, SCP-5151 will stab through the subject's aorta with its longsword, and then proceed to anomalously drain the victim's blood from their body completely.
Despite the appearance of having clothing and armor, every aspect of SCP-5151's body, garments, armor, longsword, and other adornments is made up of the same composition. This composition can pass through material objects and is impervious to physical damage. The entity has the capability to adjust this composition as it desires. These anomalous characteristics make containment of SCP-5151 through conventional means difficult.
During its discovery, the entity was found to be capable of forming an anomalous mark onto a subject's hand when said subject forms a blood-pact3 with the entity. This mark is referred to as SCP-5151-2. When forming a blood-pact, SCP-5151 can establish an SCP-5151-2 instance with several subjects at the same time by creating a pact with their leader. SCP-5151-2 causes a mild burning sensation that varies in strength based on unknown factors. Affected individuals have had a noticeable increase in feelings of inadequacy and dread, as well as an increase in stress levels. It is unknown at this time as to whether or not SCP-5151-2 possesses any mind-affecting properties or if these factors can be attributed to the nature of this assignment combined with frustrations due to the current inability to remove SCP-5151-2.
Addendum 5151.01: Initial Discovery Log
SCP-5151 was discovered after the Foundation received reports of anomalous vigilante murders across the Alsace, Lorraine, Champagne, and Orléanais provinces of France. MTF Pi-1 ("City Slickers") were deployed to investigate the separate murders of E████ ██████ and G█████ ████████, two out of three men responsible for the murder of 4 adults as well as the kidnapping and trafficking of 18 children into child slavery from an orphanage in █████████, France. MTF Pi-1 agents found that each man had recently expired due to exsanguination.4 Both men possessed large stab wounds through their aortas; however, each man's body and clothing, lacked any visible or forensic traces of blood. This description followed the same pattern of the previous vigilante murders, and the MTF agents apprehended the third man responsible for the orphanage incident, R██ ███████, following a brief search in the region.
On 08/08/2019, at 03:17 AM, during the transport of the subject to Site-06-3, MTF agents encountered SCP-5151 standing in the path of their vehicles. SCP-5151 began walking towards the vehicles as MTF agents attempted to make contact with the entity. The entity continued walking towards the vehicle despite warnings from the MTF agents. MTF Pi-1 proceeded to open fire on SCP-5151 to no effect. When the entity began to approach the vehicle which contained the subject, MTF agents attempted to restrain the entity physically; however, the agents were unable to grab the entity due to its ability to pass through matter. SCP-5151 stabbed the subject through his aorta with a longsword. After killing the subject, SCP-5151 proceeded to stare at MTF Pi-1-█ before lunging toward and killing him with the same process. SCP-5151 proceeded to sheathe its longsword and raise its hands in a submissive manner while the MTF agents continued to discharge their weapons in the entity. When MTF Pi-1 ceased their fire, SCP-5151 proceeded to greet them, "Brave fellows, do not worry about him. I disposed of him as I have with others of his lot. Loyalty is a virtue, and the lack of it will lead to the death of chivalry. My presence is a testament that chivalry will never die. With this being said, I understand you have been searching for me. Pray tell what you might need of me?" This statement led to MTF Pi-1 surrounding SCP-5151 and contacting Site Command.
After MTF Pi-1 contacted Site-06-3 concerning the entity, Site Director T███ ███████ decided to send Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau along with site security to speak with the entity. After his arrival, Dr. Moreau proceeded to conduct an interview with SCP-5151.

Interview Log 5151.IL.01
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau
Interviewed: SCP-5151
Date: 08/08/2019
Foreword: This interview was conducted on a deserted roadside 3 km from Site-06-3. This interview was conducted in the presence of Mobile Task Force Pi-1 along with security personnel. The following interview has been translated into English for convenience.

<Begin Log, 03:58 AM>
Dr. Moreau: (in French) Hello, I am Dr. Moreau.Dr. Moreau: You are correct. I would indeed like to interview you. Would you first explain your reasoning for why you killed one of our agents despite sparing the remaining agents who were attacking you?Dr. Moreau: I do not understand. How exactly did he differ from the others?Dr. Moreau: Aeschylus, correct?Dr. Moreau: Yes, I do have many questions for you, so I must ask, are you willing to stay with us for the time being? To help us further our understanding?Dr. Moreau: We can make certain accommodations. Please continue.Dr. Moreau: I am afraid I do not have the authority to agree to terms such as those. Please allow me to confirm this with my superior first.<End Log, 04:04 AM>

Closing Statement: After gaining approval to SCP-5151's requests with Site Director T███ ███████, SCP-5151 requested to make a blood-pact with Dr. Moreau to seal the agreement. SCP-5151 informed Dr. Moreau that it would not agree to stay unless Dr. Moreau made a blood-pact with it for himself and his assistants. After informing the site director of the situation, the site director allowed Dr. Moreau to make the decision on whether or not to accept. Due to the nature of SCP-5151's capabilities, it was agreed that containment would be challenging without a degree of cooperation involved. After gaining permission to do so, Dr. Moreau complied with the request by slicing his hand before proceeding to shake hands with SCP-5151. A mark labeled with the word "honoris" appeared on the top of Dr. Moreau's right hand as well as the right hands of his assistant researchers.

Upon approval from Site Director T███ ███████, MTF Pi-7 ("Honor Bound Knights") has been formed to accommodate the current containment procedures of SCP-5151. These seven agents were chosen based on their skill in hand-to-hand combat as well as on their character compatibility with SCP-5151. After investigation of Pi-1-█'s belongings after the events which occurred, it was found that Pi-1-█ had several classified SCP documents as well as a note instructing him to steal SCP-████. It is believed that Pi-1-█ had a connection with the Chaos Insurgency.

Foreword: This interview was conducted inside of SCP-5151's containment cell. The following interview has been translated into English for convenience.

<Begin Log, 10:29 PM>Dr. Moreau: Good morning, SCP-5151.Dr. Moreau: You are correct, 5151. If you are willing, I would like to conduct an interview with you this morning.Dr. Moreau: Very well, my first question concerns the agent you killed the day we met.Dr. Moreau: Later that day, we found out that the agent in question happened to be working with a rival organization to ours. Were you aware of this man's affiliation with this group?Dr. Moreau: Then why did you kill that man thinking that he had betrayed us? It certainly was not a coincidence.Dr. Moreau: Why does betrayal bother you so greatly then? I am sure some of the other agents in that room were guilty of other sins in their lives? Why did you choose to not bother with the others?Dr. Moreau: Very well then, moving on. What about the nature of this mark on my research team's hands? What is it exactly?Dr. Moreau: And what of this burning sensation it emits?Dr. Moreau: I see, well then, what is the significance of the word honoris? I understand that it is the Latin word for honor. With that being the case, what is the significance of honoris being written on the mark, and why is it in Latin?Dr. Moreau: I believe I understand. And why is it in Latin, again?Dr. Moreau: Oh, is that so? Care to elaborate on why that is?Dr. Moreau: Alright, 5151, we will touch on that subject again another day. I believe those are all of the questions that I have for today. Do you have anything you would like to add?Dr. Moreau: Which is what exactly?Dr. Moreau: I believe we can manage those arrangements. I will contact my superior. Do you mind if we continue recording our interviews with this? (holds the audio-recorder device)Dr. Moreau: I understand, 5151. Will there be anything else?<End Log, 10:36 AM>

Closing Statement: SCP-5151 has the ability to view people differently than humans. This ability grants it knowledge of whether or not this person is honorable by SCP-5151's standards. Along with this information, we have learned more about SCP-5151's fascination with blood as well as the purpose of SCP-5151-2 being a reminder of our promise to SCP-5151. The last topic of note is SCP-5151's request to distance itself from electricity. Although this is peculiar, I do not believe it is a weakness of SCP-5151, but rather a nuisance or hindrance to it. I'll leave this topic until we learn more about SCP-5151 and SCP-5151-2's nature. - Dr. Moreau

Several experiments were conducted to remove SCP-5151-2 from the research team members. Each experiment resulted in failure; however, several aspects concerning the nature of SCP-5151-2's nature have been discovered. SCP-5151-2 can not be removed from the subject's hand by physical means. This includes removing the appendage in which SCP-5151-2 is attached. Due to the incident surrounding the detachment of Junior Researcher Damien Dupree's right hand, SCP-5151-2 was found to have relocated to his right arm. It was also found that researchers who demonstrate higher stress levels due to the existence of SCP-5151-2 were susceptible to greater burning sensations emitted by SCP-5151-2. Further research concerning SCP-5151-2 will be delayed until the nature of SCP-5151 is better understood. - Dr. Moreau

Dr. Moreau: Hello, 5151, I will be conducting an interview with you today.Dr. Moreau: I'm afraid that will not be possible. I have been instructed to address you as SCP-5151. However, that does pique my interest. Please elaborate on your title. Have you had different ones in the past?Dr. Moreau: Thank you for your understanding, 5151. I understand that you are from Poland then? You speak superb French to be from the other side of Europe.Dr. Moreau: Ah, I see. Well, if that is the case, would you mind elaborating on some of those names and titles?Dr. Moreau: I see, thank you for providing what you have to me. Did you happen to list your first name and title given to you?Dr. Moreau: Would you care to provide those then?Dr. Moreau: Very well, what name and title were you given when you became familiar with Latin?Dr. Moreau: Is there any particular reason for this that you would be willing to share?Dr. Moreau: I understand, 5151. I believe this interview is complete. Thank you for your cooperation.
<End Log, 12:34 PM>

Closing Statement: It is apparent from SCP-5151's agitation and resistance that it is hiding a key aspect concerning its past. I have assigned part of my research team to conduct historical research on Zawisza Czarny specifically as well as the other names and titles SCP-5151 provided in this interview. I have also assigned the other researchers on my team to search for historical figures from Roman times that match the characteristics displayed by SCP-5151. - Dr. Moreau

Research Log 5151.RL.01
SCP-5151's appearance replicates the known records of Zawisza Czarny. From the fact that SCP-5151 relates Zawisza Czarny to be one of its previous names, it can be inferred that SCP-5151 has a strong connection to this figure. This information can mean either SCP-5151 replicates this figure's appearance and nature or that SCP-5151 was this figure in history.
In Interview Log 5151.IL.02, SCP-5151 mentioned that it knew several languages and that it had the following names and titles from the past:

Zawisza Czarny (1370 AD - 1428 AD), "The Black Knight", Polish
Edward Plantagenet (1330 AD - 1376 AD)5, "The Black Prince", English
Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (1043 AD - 1099 AD), "El Cid" or "El Campeador", Spanish
Charles Martel (688 AD - 741 AD), "The Hammer", French

These figures in history were all famous military-minded men who performed some great feat for their people or made some great cultural impact on their people. Another similarity between these men is their respectful nature. Each of these men was respected for holding to their values, and Zawisza Czarny specifically is known to have been the epitome of a chivalrous knight in medieval history. This information correlates with what we have already discovered concerning the nature of SCP-5151.

Interviewer: Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau
Interviewed: MTF Pi-7-1
Date: 03/13/2020
Foreword: This interview was conducted inside Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau's office.

<Begin Log, 08:46 AM>
Dr. Moreau: (in English) Good morning, Captain. I trust that you have enjoyed your stay at Site-06-3?
Pi-7-1: (in English) Yeah, Doctor. Things have been going well for myself and my men here. Our assignment, SCP-5151, has been a fairly enjoyable one thus far. Of course, I would hate to get on his bad side.
Dr. Moreau: Captain, please try to refrain from referring to SCP-5151 as anything but an "it." SCP-5151 is anything but human.
Pi-7-1: I understand, Doctor. Please continue with the interview.
Dr. Moreau: Of course, Captain. How would you say that SCP-5151's training sessions have been going?
Pi-7-1: It hasn't been too difficult. In one sense, it is very tiresome. In another sense, it is rather rewarding. I will say that my team has become even more adept at hand-to-hand combat as well as combat involving primitive weapons such as swords, spears, and bows. Of course, training only lasts a couple of days a week, and you guys furnish those big meals on Sundays.
Dr. Moreau: How does 5151 act during these meals?
Pi-7-1: Well, if I may say this, the meals are quite enjoyable. 5151 is quite the storyteller. My guess is that it has been around for a long time. It has a story for just about every point of time in history.
Dr. Moreau: I instructed you to figure out what 5151's relation to Latin, the Romans, or simply that time period, in general, happens to be. Did you learn anything?
Pi-7-1: Possibly, as you know, it doesn't like to talk about that subject. However, when it was drunk, it did open up to us a little bit. It told us that it used to be celebrated among the people at that time. It said they even made a shrine or something to 5151 along with its brother. It then went on a monologue about how its brother had this helmet that it was fond of all the time. The last thing it kept repeating to itself before it fell asleep was about how it missed its brother. I guess it had a brother at one point. Maybe something happened to its brother? I don't know. 5151 won't mention anything about it anymore.
Dr. Moreau: Captain, did 5151 mention anything else about this temple or its brother? Anything specific about them or possibly any clue as to why it is hiding this information?
Pi-7-1: Oh right, sorry. He mentioned that he and his brother got along real well, about how they would watch their people together and their successes. He then became sad and began to sit quietly. Mahesh, I mean 7-3, asked him what happened back then. 5151 then went on to tell us that sometimes things just get so hard that you need to get up and leave everything. He went on to say that he is just tired of remembering. That was when he started to go on about his brother. The guys tried to talk to him, but he ended up falling asleep after a few minutes of saying he missed his brother.
Dr. Moreau: I see. That was quite informative, Captain. Thank you. Once again, do try to remember that SCP-5151 is an "it" and not a "he." Try not to get too attached while on this assignment.
Pi-7-1: Right, of course. I understand, Doctor.
Dr. Moreau: Are you doing all right, Captain?
Pi-7-1: Yes, Doctor. I'm fine. Sorry for my poor language earlier.
Dr. Moreau: That is quite all right, Captain. I would advise you to move on from the subject of its brother for now. I doubt 5151 will reveal anything further. That will end our interview for today. Good work, Captain.
Pi-7-1: Doctor, can I mention one more thing?
Dr. Moreau: Of course, Captain. What is it?
Pi-7-1: Doctor, 5151 is enjoyable to be around. In fact, I believe it genuinely enjoys having us around. It is also very helpful in training, both in a physical sense as well as a mental one. That is all true. However, none of us have ever been able to lay a hand on it during our sparring sessions. It is almost like it knows how we will react to every situation. To be honest with you, we all understand that it has a tremendous amount of power that it chooses to hide. We can all feel it. My team is trained well, so we understand this and move on. If not for that, well, I think we would just be paralyzed with fear. We can tell that 5151 wasn't always like this. I don't know why 5151 suppresses itself, but it's like 5151 is just putting on an act most of the time. That is all I wanted to say.
Dr. Moreau: Thank you, Captain. That will be all for today.
<End Log, 08:50 AM>

Closing Statement: Pi-7-1 was able to gather useful information for us regarding the nature of this entity. I theorize that SCP-5151 was worshipped as one of the deities found in the Roman Pantheon, or simply some lesser-known deity around the same time period and area. The part concerning the brother is interesting to note. I will have part of my team search Roman history for a deity that matches the description of SCP-5151. The findings of this interview, as well as the preceding logs, will be turned in later today to Site Director T███ ███████ for review. - Dr. Moreau

Addendum 5151.05: Incident Report 5151.IR.01

+ This File Requires Level 3 Clearance Access

- Access Granted

The following memo was sent from Troy Boucher's computer, the previous site director of Site-06-3, to Sylvain Moreau, the previous senior researcher responsible for study on SCP-5151.

To: Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau
From: Site-06-3 Site Director, Troy Boucher
Date: 03/14/2020
Subject: Containment Procedure Changes For SCP-5151

Dr. Moreau, effective immediately, you and your team are to stop providing weekly accommodations to SCP-5151. SCP-5151 has become an unnecessary drain on Foundation resources. This order is a direct mandate I have received from my superiors. You may take appropriate precautions, but do not allow MTF Pi-7 to enter SCP-5151's containment cell this coming Sunday evening under any circumstances. I expect a full debrief of your results from these changes no later than Monday afternoon. I trust that you will comply with this directive and trust your superior on this delicate issue. Remember, the Foundation knows what is best.

On 03/15/2020 at 10:53 PM, Site-06-3's containment breach alarm was triggered by Researcher Nathanael Namreg when SCP-5151 appeared in front of him in the western wing hallway adjacent to SCP-5151's containment cell. SCP-5151 lunged toward him and proceeded to kill him. The researcher's body slid off of SCP-5151's longsword and proceeded to burst into flames as it fell to the floor. SCP-5151 was then seen walking to the site cafeteria where Junior Researchers Damien Dupree and Abigail Jolly were located. Despite guards discharging their weapons into SCP-5151, SCP-5151 proceeded to kill the junior researchers in the same fashion as the previous researcher with their bodies also bursting into flames. SCP-5151 continued this process until Researcher Angeline Ponce, and Junior Researchers Alastair Lawrie, Helen Burrows, Michel Bisset, and Marvin Tendler were all killed.
At 11:33 PM, SCP-5151 walked through the locked door of Senior Researcher Sylvain Moreau's office. Inside of the office was Dr. Moreau alongside MTF Pi-7. SCP-5151 lunged toward Dr. Moreau and stabbed him. Pi-7-3, Pi-7-4, and Pi-7-5 proceeded to discharge their weapons into SCP-5151 to no effect. Pi-7-2, Pi-7-6, and Pi-7-7 proceeded to hit SCP-5151 with steel swords, also to no effect. Pi-7-1 proceeded to fire a taser at SCP-5151 causing it to convulse for a brief moment before slapping Pi-7-1 across the office. The senior researcher's body proceeded to slide off of SCP-5151's longsword before bursting into flames and falling to the floor.
At 11:37 PM, SCP-5151 became cordial before MTF Epsilon-11 arrived at Site-06-3. MTF Pi-7 informed MTF Epsilon-11 of the situation, and Epsilon-11 quickly secured the facility. The entire research team for SCP-5151 was found to be lacking any blood in their bodies or surroundings. The research team was also found to have third-degree burns across their bodies with their right hands heavily charred. The sole exception to this was Junior Researcher Damien Dupree, whose right forearm was heavily charred instead. It is believed that SCP-5151-2 was the origin and cause of the researchers' spontaneous combustion.
After the incident, Site Director Troy Boucher was found deceased inside of his locked office. The autopsy showed that he had died due to strangulation the day before his last memo was sent to Dr. Moreau. MTF Epsilon-11 also found traces of a large data transfer of SCP files from the site director's computer to a remote location off-site. It remains unknown as to why the site director's death was not discovered sooner as well as to how someone was able to infiltrate Site-06-3 as well as gain access to the site director's office and computer. Considering previous circumstances surrounding SCP-5151, an investigation into a possible connection between this incident and the Chaos Insurgency is currently being conducted by MTF Epsilon-11. SCP-5151 will be transferred to Site-54 along with MTF Pi-7.

During this incident, 9 researchers died, an MTF agent was injured, a site director was murdered, an entire site was compromised along with several small breaches as well as a major one, and we found out that SCP-5151 can not be stopped by seemingly any force we can think of at the moment. As the commander of MTF Epsilon-11, I recommend the immediate transfer of SCP-5151 to a more secure containment site like Site-54. I also recommend someone to form a blood-pact with SCP-5151 to keep the entity from choosing to leave as this seems to be the only way to contain it to some degree. MTF Pi-7 should be transferred alongside SCP-5151 due to their familiarity with the entity. As for Site-06-3, I have never witnessed a greater breach in security at a Foundation site than what I have seen here today. This was negligence to the greatest degree.

Subject: Concerning the Incident and the Nature of SCP-5151

After being given SCP-5151, I conceded to forming a blood-pact with it on behalf of my research team as well as for myself per the request of the commander of MTF Epsilon-11 as well as your orders.
Noting the incident that occurred at Site-06-3, I recommend that SCP-5151's initial requests to continue to be fulfilled until we can discover the full extent of its abilities as well as its limitations. We learned that when breaking the terms of a blood-pact with SCP-5151, the entity gains the ability to locate the subject who bears an instance of SCP-5151-2 in which SCP-5151 will proceed to kill the subject. SCP-5151 will continue to teleport to and kill each subject who bears an instance of SCP-5151-2. After killing a subject with an instance of SCP-5151-2, the instance will proceed to combust and burn until the mark is no longer discernible on the subject's body.
Since my team and I now possess instances of SCP-5151-2, I have decided not to inform my team of the details of the incident. They are already under a great deal of stress from being linked to a powerful entity. The power this thing seems to possess can be frightening to imagine.

STATEMENT FROM THE OVERSEER COUNCIL

Per the events found within Incident Report 5151.IR.01, the Site Director of Site-06-3 was murdered by an entity believed to be connected to the Chaos Insurgency. This entity was not only able to escape the facility without being captured or recorded but was also able to escape with countless Foundation secrets and documents about the containment of numerous SCPs. In addition to this catastrophic failure of Site-06-3's security, a major containment breach occurred simultaneously, which resulted in the deaths of an entire research team. During this containment breach, several minor breaches also occurred, which resulted in only minor damage to the facility. As a result of this failure of security, Site-06-3 Security Director Oliver Albury has been administered a Class C amnestic and demoted to D-class. Upon the arrival of the new Site and Security Directors for Site-06-3, MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") will be relieved by MTF Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand") from the investigation of the entity responsible for this incident. In the future, harsher penalties will be administered if the Foundation ever witnesses a breach of security of this scale. This statement is the judgment of the O5 council.
Secure. Contain. Protect.

Addendum 5151.06: Research Update
Updated Containment Procedures: SCP-5151 has been moved to Integrated Containment Site-54. MTF Pi-7 has relocated to Site-54 to provide further accommodations to SCP-5151. All other prior accommodations to SCP-5151 are still granted; however, the walls of the containment cell have been constructed with a grid pattern of electrical wiring inside. This grid pattern aligns with the door to the cell when closed to complete the circuit. An electrical current of 1,000 amps is passed through this wire grid at all times. MTF Pi-7 will be armed with experimental Nemtyshkin EDA's6.

Interviewer: Senior Researcher Herrmann Richter
Interviewed: SCP-5151
Date: 03/18/2020
Foreword: This interview was conducted inside of SCP-5151's new containment cell at Site-54.

<Begin Log, 10:00 AM >
Dr. Richter: (in English) Hello, SCP-5151.Dr. Richter: Indeed. I would like to speak with you about the incident that occurred at Site-06-3.Dr. Richter: You made quite the mess there, 5151.SCP-5151 proceeded to avoid eye contact with Dr. Richter and began to look around the cell nervously.
Dr. Richter: But something still seems to bother you, doesn't it, 5151?Dr. Richter: Actually, 5151, it turns out that the research team did not have a choice. They were deceived by a rival organization of ours. Did you happen to be aware of this?Dr. Richter: Indeed. Someone infiltrated our site and acted like your research team's superior. This man specifically told Dr. Moreau not to allow MTF Pi-7 to visit you that day. Dr. Moreau had no choice but to listen to his superior.Dr. Richter: 5151? Do you have any input? (a silent pause) Alright, we will continue another day then. Thank you, 5151.

The following memos are correspondence between Senior Researcher Herrmann Richter and Site-54 Site Director Gerard Hansjörg concerning Dr. Richter's findings on SCP-5151.

To: Site-54 Site Director, Gerard Hansjörg
From: Senior Researcher Herrmann Richter
Date: 03/21/2020
Subject: Concerning the New Containment Procedures

After studying and furthering Dr. Moreau's research, I have concluded that SCP-5151's hidden identity belongs to Honos, the Roman god of chivalry, honor, and military justice. Honos was a war god who was celebrated among the Romans along with Virtus, the war god of virtue. These gods were given their own temple in Rome, where they were worshiped together until the temple was closed due to the persecution of pagans during the 4th century. It seems this event might be compounded with whatever trauma SCP-5151 appears to be experiencing. Knowledge of this entity's identity is useful since SCP-5151 seems bound to this nature regardless of its own desires. In the interview I conducted, I found this conflicting internal nature of SCP-5151. Although remorseful may not be the word, SCP-5151 had some degree of depression regarding the events that unfolded, which leads me to believe that this entity can not completely control itself when faced with an incident such as the one found in Incident Report 5151.IR.01. Dr. Moreau's team performed extensive research on SCP-5151's nature, so I do not see any more need to continue this line of research.
Although I appreciate the added containment procedures, I do hope you realize that these procedures will likely do little to prevent SCP-5151 from reaching myself and my team if it is angered. Concerning SCP-5151-2, as Dr. Moreau's team attempted physical removal, I would like to test the removal of SCP-5151-2 by using SCP-500. I believe that since it appears to be some kind of anomalous condition, it might be possible to remove it using the cure-all drug.
On a side-note, Site Director, my research team is having issues coping with being linked to this entity. If you would be willing to provide some accommodations that might help reassure them in some way, I believe our research on SCP-5151 will be dramatically aided.

Subject: RE: Concerning the New Containment Procedures

Dr. Richter, your input and concerns have been noted, and your recommendations have been granted for the time being. It is the Foundation's desire for you to focus your research on the capabilities of SCP-5151 to find ways to prevent it from being able to breach containment when faced with something as trivial as broken promises.
As for your request, I will provide your team with routine therapy checkups until the situation blows over, and they can stabilize themselves again. Concerning SCP-500, that will need to be discussed at a later time. For now, I look forward to hearing your future suggestions on how we should try to contain a god.
