SCP-0000.

Item #: SCP-0000

Object Class: Keter

Threat Level: 5/Critical

Special Containment Procedures: The leaders of nations possessing nuclear armaments have been made aware of the nature of SCP-0000; in the event that personnel are unable to prevent a contact event, said leaders are to immediately be made aware of its occurrence. Remaining effects of these events are to be obscured from public knowledge, with appropriate cover stories disseminated as necessary.

The SCPF Volos is to track and monitor SCP-0000 at all times. If the anomaly's projected path should have it approaching another instance of its species, regardless of the specimen's sex, MTF Nu-20 ("November Rein") is to intervene and prevent contact by redirecting the other specimen. If contact cannot be prevented, personnel are to distance themselves as far from the subject as quickly as possible and evacuate any nearby civilians.

Description: SCP-0000 denotes a male Rhincodon typus1 of unknown age measuring 11 meters in length, currently located in the Atlantic ocean. Aside from its minor anomalous characteristics, including negligible senescence, immunity to physical trauma, and ability to inhabit in waters outside its species' typical range, SCP-0000 is generally harmless so long as its primary anomalous ability is not triggered.

SCP-0000's primary anomalous property manifests when it is brought to orgasm, whereupon it will "detonate," releasing massive amounts of energy and radiation into its immediate environment in the form of a powerful explosion. Typically possessing a power output of about 2×106 GJ of energy2, this process is functionally resemblant to the detonation of a nuclear weapon. SCP-0000 and its mate are not harmed during this process, though surrounding environments will typically be obliterated. If fertilization is successful, SCP-0000's mate will bear offspring as normal, though in slightly larger quantities than a standard pregnancy; the resulting pups are non-anomalous.

Attempts to extract SCP-0000 from the ocean or redirect it from a determined course have invariably failed. SCP-0000's overall mass dramatically exceeds the usual standard for its species, with the subject approaching a weight of roughly 100 tonnes.3 Moreover, when physically confronted, SCP-0000 has been observed to release dangerous amounts of radiation into its surroundings as a type of defense mechanism. Consequently, relocation of the subject to secure holding, as well as basic redirection away from other members of its species, has been deemed unfeasible for the time being.

Discovery: SCP-0000 was first discovered following the Vela Incident on September 22, 1979, in which it was believed Israel and South Africa had performed a joint nuclear detonation test in the vicinity of the Prince Edward Islands. After being detected by an American Vela satellite, measures to discover the responsible party and verify concerns of potential anomalous influence began. During a sweep of the islands and their surroundings, a pair of whale sharks were found. In addition to being present far beyond their typical range, both were exhibiting dangerous levels of radioactivity with seemingly no ill effects. The specimens were tagged with GPS trackers, set to be monitored, and designated as Objects of Interest. Following extensive analysis by the team assigned to the female specimen, it was confirmed that that specimen lacked any anomalous properties.

Incident 0000-Alpha: On February 29, 1980 contact was lost with the research team studying the male whale shark specimen; at the same time, a burst of radiation was detected in the mid-southern Pacific ocean near the last logged location of the specimen. A series of transmissions from the team were later received by a Foundation outpost at Mount Siple, Antarctica, consisting of an emergency broadcast video file. The video file has been transcribed below.

VIDEO LOG TRANSCRIPT


DATE: Feb 29, 1980

NOTE: This was the last transmission from the Object of Interest's investigation team prior losing contact with command. A part of the footage transmitted appears to have been corrupted by the presence of powerful electromagnetic interference as it was being broadcast. As such, it's arrival at the receiving base was delayed, and only a small portion of the original file proved playable.


[BEGIN LOG]

As the playable portion opens, the camera is facing the floor, being handled.

Researcher A: Okay, what now?

Researcher B: (Off screen.) Nothing yet. He's approaching the female slowly, but doesn't appear to be making a move.

Researcher A: (Sighs.) Seriously, what did we do to deserve this? Of all the things we could have been assigned to, we get the all-important job of watching two whales fuck.

Researcher B: They're not whales, they're sharks.

Researcher C: Knock it off you two. Just observe and record. B Team got checked off, so this is probably just a waiting game.

(The camera pans up to show the ocean. SCP-0000's primary dorsal fin can be seen breaching the surface about 30 meters from the boat.)

Researcher A: Yeah, there he goes. Is the underwater cam recording, Grant?

Researcher B: (Flatly.) No worries, it's capturing every thrilling second of this.

(The dorsal fin dips below the water for a moment, followed by splashing.)

Researcher C: (Approaches the railing, coming into frame.) Aren't these fellas endangered anyway?

Researcher B: Think so.

Researcher C: (Giggles.) I guess you could say we're witnessing an act of environmental recovery or something, then.

Researcher B: I swear to god, I'm transferring as soon as we get back to… (Researcher B trails off and approaches the railing, coming into frame.)

Researcher A: The hell is that?

(A bright light begins emanating from beneath the water and soon SCP-0000 can be clearly seen glowing. The mate is close to the subject but does not appear to be exhibiting the same behavior.)

Researcher C: Yuuki, start broadcasting on the secure channel now, I'm calling command.

(Researcher C sprints out of frame. Researcher A places the camera on a table, still recording the scene. The sound of a clacking keyboard can be heard nearby.)

Researcher A: (To self.) You've gotta be kidding me.

(Turns towards Researcher A, then back at SCP-0000.)

Researcher B: Don't tell me…

Researcher C: (Off screen, faintly audible.) Hello? This is 107-A's research vessel reporting, verification code "Fifteen, twenty-seven, thirty-four." We have confirmation of anomalous activity with the object. Circumstances of the anomaly are unclear but…

(A loud humming becomes audible, and SCP-0000 begins to glow brighter.)

Researcher A: Oh fu—

(Two frames of the subject brightening are recorded before SCP-0000 detonates, vaporizing the entire research vessel.)

[END LOG]

After the above transmission was reviewed, the last known location of the vessel was searched for surviving crew. SCP-0000 and the mate were located near their last logged site; no survivors were found.

Addendum 0000.1: Detonation Events

Since its discovery, SCP-0000 has detonated a total of six times.

Date of Occurrence Location Notes Follow-up
2/29/1980 South Pacific Ocean Researching vessel destroyed and all personnel killed. SCP-0000's anomalous nature becomes understood. Event is detected by military satellites. Embedded Foundation agents release disinformation stating the detonation to have been a test of the satellite's detection array. The decision to make specific world leaders aware of SCP-0000 is made by Director Kushan.
7/11/1989 17 km northwest of Niʻihau, Hawaii Nu-20 are unable to prevent contact due to depth of interaction; detonation proceeds. Event is covered up and explained as a superbolide explosion. No amnestic distribution is needed.
12/25/1999 Gulf of Mexico, south of Louisiana Nu-20 is unable to intervene in time, detonation proceeds. Event coincides with the sunset, and most of the event is obscured due to positioning of the sun. Light amnestics distributed to coastal populations close to the point of detonation.
9/10/2004 Sea of Japan, 12 km east of North Hamgyong, North Korea Interference from North Korean military prevents Nu-20 from reaching SCP-0000 in time, detonation proceeds. Event is detected by China, Japan, and South Korea. Political tensions in the region worsen severely and threats of military action are made. Once the appropriate leaders were contacted and made aware of the SCP-0000 event, tensions calm slightly.
3/21/2007 57 km southwest of Amatignak Island, Alaska. SCP-0000 triggers despite no other whale sharks being in the area. Due to deep water and distance of Nu-20 members, no damage is recorded. Whale shark physiology has been noted not to allow self-stimulation. The cause of SCP-0000's orgasm remains unknown.
5/12/2013 68 km west of Mindoro, Philippines SCP-0000 contacts an undetected female at an unusual depth, detonation proceeds. Shockwave destabilizes local seafloor sediments and triggers a major restructuring of a segment of the island's western coast. A massive submarine and subaerial landslide results, displacing an enormous quantity of sediments and generating 30 meter-high tsunamis throughout the South China Sea. Catastrophic damage to most coastal areas occurs, resulting in over 350,000 deaths and $400 billion USD in damages. SCP-0000's Object Class is updated from Euclid to Keter, is Nu-20 given improved training and enhanced technology.

Addendum 0000.2: Memo from Director Kushan, submitted 4/10/2011.

To you, my successor,

When I took on the mantle of Director, I swore an oath to Secure, Contain, and Protect. It is now clear that I failed, not only to Secure, and not only to Contain, but to Protect the lives of all of those we lost this May.

There is no one to blame for this but I. The blood of countless of innocents now stains my hands, and it will be a burden that I will have to bear for the rest of my life. I would ask forgiveness, but what I have done, how I have failed, is truly beyond remission.

Though this anomaly may be unorthodox, it is still a threat to that must not be taken lightly.

Do not repeat my mistake of not realizing this.

Secure. Contain. Protect. Remember.

— Dr. Kushan
