SCP-1523 during Interview 1523-01
Identyfikator podmiotu: SCP-1523
Klasa podmiotu: Bezpieczne
Specjalne Czynności Przechowawcze: SCP-1523 należy przechowywać w Skrytce Przechowawczej L w oddziale obiektów Bezpiecznych Ośrodka 40. Podczas testowania SCP-1523 należy zapalić za pomocą przenośnej zapalniczki. Podczas gdy SCP-1523 się pali musi przebywać on w hermetycznej komorze, a każdy zaangażowany członek personelu musi nosić maskę przeciw-gazową, w celu zapobieżenia rozprzestrzeniania się lub inhalacji dymu SCP-1523.
Wszystkie interakcje z SCP-1523 należy nagrać oraz umieścić w Logu Przesłuchań 1523. Po zakończeniu testowania SCP-1523 należy niezwłocznie zgasić. Obiekt nie może się palić kiedy nie jest obserwowany.
Opis: SCP-1523 jest pomarańczowo-brązową cewką od kadzidła. Podczas gdy się pali SCP-1523 wykazuje świadomość; reaguje on na bodźce werbalne oraz jest zdolny do mowy, porozumiewając się głosem identycznym do głosu muzyka, █████████████. Obiekt posiada pełną pamięć z życia █████. Fundacja aktualnie nie jest w stanie ustalić czy SCP-1523 posiadał te same cechy podczas jego dawnego życia; przypuszcza się jednak że jego obecna obsesja na punkcie religii może być spowodowana obecną formą.
Według relacji samego SCP-1523, stworzona została ona 04/05/05 w "kaplicy gwiazd" należącej do północnoamerykańskiego kultu znanego jako Piąty Kościół podczas "rytuału oczyszczenia". SCP-1523 znajdował się w szafie, zawieszony na uchwycie od kadzidła z przywieszką z napisem "SZLAK UMYSŁOWY TERRES BRATA █████". Po działaniach Fundacji (zobacz ** Raport Operacji EID 6-11-05**, "Operacja Stargazer"), kilka przedmiotów rytualnych zostało zabezpieczonych, wliczając w to SCP-1523, który został poddany następnie badaniom ze względu na swoją nietypową nomenklaturę, po czym przyznano mu desygnacje i zabezpieczono.
Dodatek 1523-A: Po testach (zobacz log przesłuchań), ustalono że zdolność do komunikacji SCP-1523 jest właściwością dymu, a nie samego artefaktu. Jednakże SCP-1523 zdaje się nie przejawiać świadomości kiedy nie jest zapalony, a testy mające ustalić zasięg działania dymu przyniosły niejednoznaczne wyniki. Należy pamiętać, że procedury oczyszczania Ośrodka muszą być ściśle przestrzegane by zapobiec zanieczyszczeniu placówki przez SCP-1523.
Nota: Wszystkie informacje dotyczące aktywności Piątego Kościoła zostały zredagowane w związku z protokołem Operacji Stargazer.

Przesłuchujący: [The interviewer provides SCP-1523 with standard introductory information for contained humanoids.]
SCP-1523: Call me ████████, star-exalted brother.
Przesłuchujący: I will keep using your designation, if that's alright. So can you confirm that you are ████████ █████?
SCP-1523: No doubt.
Przesłuchujący: And you're aware of your state?
SCP-1523: Very.
Przesłuchujący: Are you capable of anything besides speech?
SCP-1523: Hertz, brother, I can sing.
Przesłuchujący: Can you perform something for the record?
SCP-1523: You got any requests?
[The security officer suggests "Let's Stay Together", a standard which [REDACTED] occasionally performed in concert.]
SCP-1523: It serves, brother. It serves. Let me put a spin on it.
[SCP-1523 performs a completely different piece with a dissonant melody and lyrics which are presumed to refer to Fifthist doctrines. The first verse consists of the phrase "there is power in the blood" repeated in different cadences. Full lyrics are available in the unabridged transcript.]
Przesłuchujący: [pause] That will do. Can you tell us how you were placed in your current state?
SCP-1523: Wisdom serves. It was a [REDACTED] cleansing ritual. Everyone was in the groove as the archon played. Spinning like records. Screaming like records, too. [laughs] My [REDACTED] unhinged like a snake's jaw, and my soul came forth, brother. The archon stuck it here for posterity.
Przesłuchujący: What happened to your body?
SCP-1523: Still going strong. It doesn't miss me much.
Przesłuchujący: You're saying that your body continues to function without a consciousness.
SCP-1523: No, brother, without a soul. Ever seen an anthill? That ant doesn't have room for a soul in there. If a man has no soul, he can keep building his anthill just fine. Right now the man I was is occupied with [REDACTED] and you couldn't tell the difference if you met it, unless you were giving it a throat exam. [laughs] He's quiet in there, but he wriggles around like he can't get comfortable.
Przesłuchujący: Is this a common phenomenon?
SCP-1523: More than you think, brother. I'd bet my blood there are brothers and sisters working with you in this building whose souls left a long time ago. Bodies serve, too. But those sweet souls [REDACTED] in time. It's coming for them in time.
[REMAINDER OF INTERVIEW REDACTED]
End log, time 13:51:40
Nota: This interview, like the previous one, was conducted in a standard humanoid interview chamber, and as such, the only precaution taken was the presence of a security official. This interview was conducted by a different researcher than the previous conversation: Dr. ███████ is a 35-year-old woman.
Rozpoczęcie Logu, godzina rozpoczęcia 12:31:10
Przesłuchujący: Can you tell us anything about the chapel you attended?
SCP-1523: I can tell you that it was wonderful. What was it the man said? "Oh my it, God's full of stars." [laughs]
Przesłuchujący: I'm more interested in knowing their rituals and beliefs.
SCP-1523: I'm more interested in you.
Przesłuchujący: Can we please stay on the subject, SCP-1523?
SCP-1523: Sister, I'm tired of talking about myself. I haven't spoken to a woman in too long, and you've got too much going on to be so impersonal.
Przesłuchujący: This is inappropriate.
SCP-1523: Don't get ahead of me, now. Just tell me about yourself, sister.
Przesłuchujący: [Security Officer] ████, how do I get him back on subject?
Oficer Ochrony: SCP-1523, answer her questions.
SCP-1523: Sister, lean a little closer. Take a deep breath. There's something I need to tell you.
Przesłuchujący: This is ridiculous.
SCP-1523: You want me to be helpful. Do your brother a favor. [The interviewer complies.] Mmm, that's it. Hope you like the smell of sandalwood, baby. I want to linger on your clothes all day.
Przesłuchujący: SCP-1523, what are the central tenets of the Fifth Church?
SCP-1523: Just so you know, I'm not the body, baby. I'm the smoke. Every particle in the air's my senses, like the sweet tendrils of [REDACTED]. Breathe in, breathe out. It's so comfortable in your chest, sister.
Przesłuchujący: This is over. I'm getting the hell out of here.
SCP-1523: Don't be scared, baby. You'll hyperventilate trying to get me out. But you can't. I know you'll be a stranger to me, but I'll see you 'round. My body burns and rests and burns, but I'll be on the air 24/7, if you know what I mean. [laughs] I'll see you in your office.

Photo of SCP-747-05, Recovered From Initial Containment
Item #: SCP-747
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-747 are to be contained in a room exactly thirty (30) metres by ten (10) metres, with walls consisting of concrete fifteen (15) centimetres thick. All instances of SCP-747 are to be contained together in the same room. In the occurrence SCP-747 shows interest in any personnel, Procedure SCP-747-B9 must be performed immediately. Under no circumstances shall any unusual actions of SCP-747 go unreported to personnel level 3 or higher.
SCP-747 is allowed a total of twenty-five (25) dolls, excluding any created under SCP-747's influence. Any personnel that begin to show visible signs of SCP-747's influence are to be contained separately in similar conditions. Should a containment breach occur, task force 747-B8 is to be alerted and proceed with recapture immediately. Only under extreme circumstances are any personnel with clearance level three or higher to have any direct contact with SCP-747.
Description: SCP-747 is a phenomenon involving the appearance of children in any manner of animal masks. All instances of SCP-747 have been successfully identified as deceased children of appearance congruent with the time of death, excluding the masks. The commonality of the children, according to research, is that they all owned a doll precious to them at their time of death. Currently in containment there are seven (7) instances of SCP-747:
- SCP-747-01 is a male, approximately seven (7) years of age, wearing a zebra mask and a set of blue pajamas
- SCP-747-02 is a male, approximately twelve (12) years of age, wearing a mouse mask and swimming trunks
- SCP-747-03 is a female, approximately ten (10) years of age, wearing a pig mask and an outfit typical of private schooling
- SCP-747-04 is a male, approximately fourteen (14) years of age, wearing a rabbit mask and a winter coat
- SCP-747-05 is a female, approximately twelve (12) years of age, wearing a giraffe mask and a striped sari
- SCP-747-06 is a female, approximately five (5) years of age, wearing a goat mask and a bright pink dress typical of a beauty pageant
- SCP-747-07 is a male, approximately nine (9) years of age, wearing a cat mask and blue overalls; SCP-747-07 was also recovered with a note which has since been separately stored
Each instance of SCP-747 cannot speak, nor do they seem to be aware of humans unless taking particular interest in specific individuals. Mainly, SCP-747 shows interest in hand-made dolls and each other. It is unknown if SCP-747 has sentience, though they appear to be aware of their surroundings and will avoid walking into obstacles. SCP-747 is able to move through obstacles no thicker than ten (10) centimeters with ease. SCP-747 is also semi-corporeal; instances are able to lift and touch objects, but only for short periods of time before they tire.
SCP-747 has the ability to transform humans into dolls over the course of approximately twenty-one (21) days. To do this, instances of SCP-747 surround the human and hold hands before walking around the human for a period of five (5) to seven (7) seconds. Afterwards, SCP-747 disperses and continues normal behavior. It is unknown which humans they choose to transform or why. SCP-747 occasionally shows interest in a person before attempting to transform them. The person is able to interrupt the process by moving away or avoiding SCP-747; however, most people describe a feeling of 'thoughtlessness' or 'blankness' when in contact with SCP-747, thereby making the interruption difficult.
An Example of SCP-747's Concluded Effect
After interaction with SCP-747, there are no immediate symptoms. There is currently no cure or treatment for the conversion process. Within fifteen (15) minutes, the target will experience numbness of the tips of extremities, similar to that caused by cold. Afterwards, over a period of approximately twenty-one (21) days, the symptoms will progressively worsen. The process will accelerate under stress or panic to a minimum of ten (10) days. The conversion has been divided roughly into three (3) stages, beginning from initial influence to the transformation into a doll. If at any point a doll made from SCP-747's influence is destroyed, SCP-747 will begin to show a greater interest in humans until another human is 'targeted' for replacement.
Stage 1: Loss of Minor Senses
The targeted human loses the senses of smell, hearing, and taste over a period of approximately seven (7) days. Their mental state appears stable. Subject may display worry about condition. Any signs of mental instability at this stage are signs of an accelerated transformation. SCP-747 will ignore the person as if they were normal. The target's skin color and eye color will progressively change in appearance to that of what they will become as a doll. Any personnel that show symptoms must be contained according to the containment procedures listed until late stage two (2), in which the personnel are to be moved to SCP-747's containment chamber.
Stage 2: Loss of Major Senses
Subject begins to lose the final two senses over a period of approximately thirteen (13) days. Their mental state will begin to destabilize due to loss of the major senses, first touch and then sight. This degeneration of senses is gradual, and victims have been found initiating self-harm in attempts to feel something. SCP-747 will begin showing interest in the person, from noticing their entrance into their containment to actively attempting to follow and interact with the subject. Should subject attempt suicide or die in this stage, SCP-747 will immediately seek a replacement with any human. Once the targeted human loses all their senses, SCP-747 will immediately show great interest with the body. The skin will become ragged, similar to textile in both texture and appearance, and the subject's eyes will begin to harden into buttons. Dissections have revealed that during this process the victim's organs will begin to convert into stuffing of various materials, including but not limited to cotton and polyester. Through the use of EEG it has been noted that the target is still conscious throughout this process.
Stage 3: Full Transformation
Subject transforms fully into a doll within twenty-four (24) hours. At this point SCP-747 will treat them as any other doll. It is currently theorized that the subject is no longer conscious or 'alive' in any sense. See Document 747-B4. Dolls produced though SCP-747's influence are to be kept in SCP-747's containment room and removed only for examination or repair.

Identyfikator podmiotu: SCP-930
Klasa podmiotu: Euclid
Specjalne Czynności Przechowawcze: An island several kilometres south has been substituted as the original island for the purposes of regional documentation. Maps or works which record otherwise are to be confiscated and destroyed, or modified to remove SCP-930's existence. Security stations have been established on █ nearby islands to observe passing vessels. Should any ship approach within 1.25 km of SCP-930, it is to be intercepted and the crew detained, pending issue of class-A amnestics. Should SCP-930-1, [REDACTED] flee from SCP-930, SCPS Guardian is authorized to commence long-range incendiary bombardment.
Opis: SCP-930 is a tropical island located at 22.██████°S, 134.██████°W, formerly known as ██████████ by the local populace. SCP-930 is approximately 710 m in diameter, with a range of 680-760 m, although accurate shoreline measurements are impossible due to manifestation of SCP-930's primary effects. Refuse retrieved during exploration attempts suggest that humans may have once lived on the island. Flora consists primarily of the Poaceae and Meliaceae families; however, aerial photography of SCP-930's canopy has revealed a number of introduced species also populate the island.
Several species of birds, dubbed SCP-930-1, inhabit SCP-930. Although the island is located in the South Pacific, carcasses of species native to North America and Australia have been found washed onto the shore after presumably expiring mid-flight. Fowl introduced to the island become instances of SCP-930-1 if released for extended periods, usually 2-56 hours. Studies of social interaction between SCP-930-1 and introduced bird species show that exhibited behaviour is primarily the species' standard for a predation warning, although no fauna has been discovered on SCP-930 which preys on SCP-930-1.
SCP-930-1 Event Dissipation
Sea-faring vessels, such as boats or personal watercraft, trigger an immediate response from SCP-930-1 when approaching SCP-930's shore. SCP-930-1 entities will take flight and circle the island. Attempts to deter SCP-930-1 have no effect, including the use of gunfire and explosives. SCP-930-1 will increase in numbers steadily, reaching peak concentration roughly 7.0 minutes after the phenomenon is triggered.
SCP-930-1 activity usually covers between █.█ to ██.█ square kilometres. Ships that run aground or come to a complete stop at the shoreline will cause all active instances of SCP-930-1 to become aggressive, targeting the vessel and driving exposed crew to cover.
SCP-930-1 shows hostility towards humans after they disembark, to the extent of inflicting non-lethal wounds. It appears that SCP-930-1 will not intentionally kill humans. Extensive attacks usually result in intruders fleeing from the island. Only then will SCP-930-1 cease its activities and return to a passive state.
Dodatek-930-1: On ██/██/████ EX-Y7 successfully landed on SCP-930 and retrieved █ specimens of SCP-930-1 for Foundation study. Upon further investigation of SCP-930, EX-Y7 recovered samples from ██ articles of clothing (heavily degraded), █ discarded personal electronic devices (heavily degraded, non-functional), Document-930-1 (degraded), █ human bodies (all showed evidence of massive external trauma), █ cameras (█ non-functional, 1 functional).
Dokument-930-1:
[POCZĄTEK]
██/██/████
My name is H█████ W██████, and I am the last survivor of the USS Kete, out of a crew of 87. Two weeks ago, 19 of us were marooned on this island. Our vessel had been hit by a mine west of the Ryukyu Islands. We drifted for days before the repairs became unmanageable, and we were forced to abandon ship. Most of us were lost after storms separated our lifeboats, but two of them reached this island, mine included.
[DATA REDACTED FOR IRRELEVANCE]
We thought that the local wildlife were just aggressive and territorial when we first got here, and you probably thought the same. There was a few things I noticed, though, that the others didn't seem to. Our rafts were destroyed by the rocks, not the birds. They did not kill a single one of us, and the injuries they did inflict were only on our arms and legs, not our necks or throats. I don't think anymore, that they were trying to kill us, or harm us. They were trying to protect us. To get us away from this hell.
We went missing, slowly, one or two in the night. Sometimes we never found the bodies, sometimes they would be hanging from the trees. I remember Clair finding that first one, he wouldn't talk for days, he was scared out of his mind. Irving said he just got up and left one day, didn't come back. They all didn't come back.
There's something here, worse than anything I've ever seen. Since everyone left there's been glimpses I've seen of it, out in the bushes. I'm getting so tired now, I can't stay awake any longer. It's going to get me like it got everyone else. You have to get off of this island. You have to escape.
its in the bushes
