All SCP-7354-A instances are to be immediately terminated by Stationary Task Force Theta-12 ("Lifeguards").
UPDATE 03/01/2009: All area personnel that come into physical contact with an SCP-7354-A instance are to submit to thorough medical examination immediately after neutralization, regardless of whether or not any injuries were sustained in the process.
UPDATE 06/19/2009: Individuals possessing classified information of Clearance Level 3 or above may not enter Area-354. STF Theta-12 is to undergo regular team-building exercises.
UPDATE 11/02/2009: [DATA LOST] UPDATE 01/25/2010: Heat sensors and motion detectors are to be installed within SCP-7354's enclosure.
UPDATE 02/05/2010: All remaining members of STF Theta-12 are to receive cognitohazard resistance training.
Further additions to SCP-7354's containment procedures are expected to be made as the situation continues to develop..Truculent: Item is unpredictable. Containment procedures must be continually updated to prevent a breach scenario.
Description: SCP-7354 is an approximately 10 m by 18 m basin filled with human blood, which was discovered on 01/07/2009, in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, during a surveying expedition.
The basin contains a multifaceted spacial anomaly that prevents its contents from seeping into the surrounding soil and dramatically increased its internal dimensions.
Ground penetrating radar scans of its interior have not yielded conclusive data.
The anomaly's enclosure adjoins a building complex (hereby classified as Area-354) that bears Foundation insignias. It appears to have been built at some point in the mid 1950s, though no documentation has been found of such construction taking place.
At irregular intervals, highly complex carnomantic constructs (SCP-7354-A) coalesce within the anomaly. SCP-7354-A instances are invariably aggressive, physically resilient, and dangerous. Most manifestation events on record have resulted in structural damage to Area-354 and/or casualties among personnel.
As of 2007, the average length of time between SCP-7354-A manifestations has been decreasing.
ADDENDUM 7354-1 RECORDED MANIFESTATION EVENTS Instance: SCP-7354-A-1 Date: 01/18/2009 Description: Large chiropteran entity with a wingspan of 4.1 meters. In place of legs, subject had a mass of serpents protruding from its torso and extending downward. Entity could spit an extremely caustic fluid from a far distances and screamed loudly, without cessation..Estimated to have been between 90-105 dB.
Result: Instance was shot out of the air using an M2 Browning .12 anti-aircraft rifle, then neutralized by STF Theta-12 with standard corrosive/incendiary weaponry while it attempted to regenerate.
Instance: SCP-7354-A-2 Date: 03/01/2009 Description: Described as looking like a cross between an echidna and a sun bear.
Entity was largely unaffected by gunfire and possessed quills that were coated with a rapidly-progressing neurotoxin; this was only discovered several hours after neutralization, as the toxin was transdermally active and only began showing symptoms after significant exposure had occurred.
Result: Instance successfully broke through the north wall of SCP-7354's enclosure shortly after its manifestation, charging through an adjacent hall and injuring several staff members. Neutralized by STF Theta-12 with corrosive/incendiary weaponry.
Instance: SCP-7354-A-3 Date: 04/16/2009 Description: Levitating chitinous sphere with a diameter of 2.6 m, which possessed several large eyes that were irregularly spaced along its surface. When an eye was destroyed, another opened elsewhere along the entity's surface within 2-8 seconds.
Instance caused rapid tumor growth in any complex living organism that it focused one of its eyes on and was largely unaffected by most forms of weaponry.
Result: Neutralized via multiple sledgehammer strikes by STF Theta-12 member Agent Stone, who lacked enough organic components to be sufficiently harmed by tumor growth. In being neutralized, however, the entity exploded and doused Stone with a caustic fluid identical to that produced by SCP-7354-A-1, damaging their inorganic components severely.
Instance: SCP-7354-A-4 Date: 05/12/2009 Description: 4.8 m-tall reptilian humanoid capable of healing its wounds with unprecedented speed,.Relative to other carnomantic constructs. regenerating organs, limbs, and/or portions of its own brain within 2-3 seconds. Corrosive/incendiary weaponry, which typically counteracts carnomantic self-repairing, was insufficient against against SCP-7354-A-4.
Result: Instance successfully breached containment within 15 minutes of manifesting and escaped into the surrounding forest. As the entity was projected to reach a civilian population center within 48 hours of its departure, Mobile Task Force Alpha-7 ("Last Chance").MTF Alpha-7: ETTRA-operated task force created for the utilization of SCP-7376-A in combat scenarios. was dispatched to neutralize it.
After terminating the anomaly, SCP-7376-A.SCP-7376-A: 4000+ year old Nälkä warrior and carnomancer. Commonly known as "Võlutaar Hevel" or "Abel". Formerly romantically entangled with Grand Karcist Ion (the prophet and founder of GoI-610).
remarked that the carnomancy animating it was "strange", but could not verbalize its observations with greater detail. Other members of MTF Alpha-7 noted that SCP-7376-A appeared visibly unsettled for the rest of the day.
Instance: SCP-7354-A-5 Date: 06/19/2009 Description: 3.7 m long arachnid with a two large human mouths on its back and multiple prehensile tubelike appendages coming out of its stomach.
Result: Instance escaped SCP-7354's enclosure shortly after manifestation. Throughout its containment breach, the anomaly displayed a higher degree of intelligence than previously seen SCP-7354-A instances, setting up ambushes and traps using nearly- transparent webbing.
On several occasions when dispatching prey, SCP-7354-A-5 would extend its extra appendages into its victim's ears, forcibly remove their brain, and ingest it, whereupon its human mouths would begin repeating the victim's deepest secrets in their first language.
Not only did this cause some small amount of discord among STF Theta-12, but the anomaly ultimately came upon [REDACTED], who had been visiting Area-354 for an unscheduled inspection prior to the manifestation event. Upon taking his brain, it proceeded to repeat several pieces of highly classified information, including [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [DATA EXPUNGED].
SCP-7354-A-5 was neutralized through usage of corrosive/incendiary weaponry, after which all those present were administered Class C amnestics.
SCP-7354-A-6 Instance: SCP-7354-A-6 Date: 07/11/2009 Description: Two humanoids of indeterminate ethnicity that were conjoined at several points on their bodies.
Result: Instance was fired upon shortly after manifesting and expired almost immediately. Medical examination of its corpse revealed that, beyond its physical abnormalities, it was identical to baseline human beings.
[DATA LOST] Instance: SCP-7354-A-14 Date: 01/25/2010 Description: Cephalopodic entity of unknown size and appearance.
Result: SCP-7354-A-14's manifestation event went unnoticed at first, as it remained submerged after coalescing. Over the course of several hours, the anomaly slowly extended numerous tentacles from within SCP-7354, moving them beneath the newly- fallen snow in the enclosure to avoid detection from the cameras. It proceeded to squeeze its tentacles into various tiny cracks and faults in the enclosure's walls that had formed from previous manifestation events and subsequent repairs, stretching them out into Area-354's foundation.
At 03:08 AM all of SCP-7354-A-14's tentacles began moving simultaneously, erupting from the ground to destroy large portions of Area-354 all at once. The tentacles retreated back into SCP-7354 after sustaining heavy damage from STF Theta-12 in the ensuing altercation, but not before dragging 9 staff members into SCP-7354 with them.
SCP-7354-A-14 and the missing personnel have not been seen since.
Instance: SCP-7354-A-15 Date: 02/05/2010 Description: A large feline entity resembling a panther. The instance's head and back were covered with organic semi-transparent crystalline structures that were analogous in appearance to ice. Light that passed through any of the structures was given cognitohazardous properties.
Result: For information regarding SCP-7354-A-15's manifestation event, refer to Addendum 7354-2.
Instance: SCP-7354-A-16 Date: 02/05/2010 Description: A massive feline entity resembling a lion that was 8.8 m tall while quadrupedal. The entity was armored by a chitinous exoskeleton and its blood was superheated to the point that contact with unprotected skin caused third-degree burns.
Result: For information regarding SCP-7354-A-16's manifestation event, refer to Addendum 7354-2.
Watch Station Epsilon-38 Instance: SCP-7354-A-17 Date: 02/05/2010 Description: [DATA LOST] Result: [DATA LOST] Instance: SCP-7354-A-18 Date: 02/05/2010 Description: A fully organic replica of Agent Stone. Whenever the instance suffered an injury that lowered its body mass, any separated portions of its body weighing 5+ kg would grow and metamorphose into a duplicate of itself (pictured above) while it regenerated..Secondary SCP-7354-A-18 instances did not have this trait. If they did, this anomaly theoretically could have caused an NK-Class "Grey Goo" Scenario.
Result: For information regarding SCP-7354-A-18's manifestation event, refer to Addendum 7354-2.
As far as schools of thaumaturgy go, carnomancy is rather predictable. Not unlike alchemy, it is grounded in physical principles—if you want a carnomantic construct to have structure, you need a bit of bone. Strength requires muscle fiber, intelligence requires neural tissue, and so on. SCP-7354 appears to have missed this memo—and I'm not just talking about how it's been able to make do with blood alone.
SCP-7354-A instances, going by our current understanding of Nälkä carnomancy, shouldn't be possible. We've seen these constructs use carnomancy in ways we thought only Karcists.Karcist: Honorific given to the spiritual and secular leaders of the Nälkä.
Possess carnomancy of such level that they have obtained biological immortality. could handle (levitation, tumor generation through line of sight, near-instantaneous regeneration, etc.). This doesn't just make them dangerous—it makes them unpredictable. Every manifestation event is another curveball—and you can't contain what you can't prepare for.
At first, we believed that SCP-7354's carnomancy was different, altered in some way.
We assumed, perhaps justifiably, that an additional anomalous force was at play.
[DATA LOST] To sum up months of research to prove just that: we were wrong.
We have no idea how or why SCP-7354 does what it does. And we have no idea what it's going to do next.
—Dr. Daniel Asheworth (Director, Thaumatology Dept.) ADDENDUM 7354-2 INCIDENT 7354-KERBEROS On 02/05/2010, starting at 05:31 AM, SCP-7354-A-15, -16, and -18 manifested within 28 minutes of one another. The resulting breach was the third most severe since the containment crisis of 2001;.2001 Containment Crisis: A string of massive containment breaches orchestrated by Henry Bowe, former director of the ASCI and suspected architect of the Omega-7 Initiative. The impetus for ETTRA's founding. nearly 90% of Area-354's personnel was already deceased when MTF Alpha-7 arrived onsite.
The following took place in the immediate aftermath of the breach. As Area-354's surveillance system was nonfunctional, footage is from Agent Ciara McCready's body camera.
Date: 02/05/2010 Time: 07:15 PM Subject: Agent Ciara McCready [Excerpt begins with McCready jogging through a dilapidated concrete corridor. The ground is littered with the bodies of area personnel and SCP-7354-A-18 instances. Loud impact sounds and organic tearing can be heard in the distance.] Captain Zaman (COM): McCready, do you have Hevel's status? His feed just dropped.
Agent McCready: I lost my visual in the fighting—think I'm catching up, though.
[As Agent McCready nears a turn in the hallway, the noises abruptly stop. Passing through the turn, a 1.5 m hole in the wall of the corridor enters the camera's line of view.
As she approaches the hole, it becomes apparent that it leads into SCP-7354's enclosure.] Agent McCready: Shit. We were trying to keep Hevel away from the primary anomaly, right?
Captain Zaman (COM): Confirmed. Command doesn't want too much cross- contamination between Nälkä anomalies. Is he near the enclosure?
[Agent McCready enters the enclosure. The ground is covered in snow and chunks of inhuman gore. SCP-7376-A is kneeling at the edge of SCP-7354, faced away from McCready.] Agent McCready: You could say that.
[Agent McCready nears SCP-7376-A.] Agent McCready: Hey Hevel, Captain says you need to keep checking for stragglers.
[Silence. SCP-7376-A does not move.] Agent McCready: Hevel?
[Silence.] SCP-7376-A: It happened here, you know. Ion.
Agent McCready: What?
SCP-7376-A: The Grand Karcist. Ozi rmok. This is his blood. This is his grave.
[SCP-7376-A turns toward Agent McCready. It is silently weeping.] SCP-7376-A: This is where he died.
ADDENDUM 7354-3 SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Excerpts from The Seventh Ordeal of Ion by Klavigar Nadox.Klavigar: Honorific given to Grand Karcist Ion's four closest disciples.
All the flowers bloomed, the day wretched Važjuma descended upon our world. It had not come in fullness, but in aspect, in avatar—for surely, if the Devourer had arrived in its entirety, the simple gravity of its terrible mass would've extinguished the sun.
Even now, I am not entirely certain what I saw. Važjuma was a boiling sea of teeth, frothing with acid. It was a vast and detestable stomach. It was Yaldabaoth.
Abandoning mortal form, the Ozi rmok's spirit filled the sky. In one hand, he1 held a great flame. In another, his staff of muscle and bone. And in yet another, he carried an Archon's heart.
Grand Karcist Ion strode forth to meet his opponent.
Ion and Važjuma fought for eleven days and eleven nights. It was a horror to behold.
Each strike lit up the heavens. Each blow was heavy enough to shatter mountains. And still, the avatar was whole. Unbroken. Hungry.
Ion saw the coming dawn of the twelfth day and knew that he would not live to see its dusk.
Ion mustered up all his strength. All his courage and cunning, every piece of himself that had not yet been devoured. He summoned up everything he was, had been, and would ever be—and set it all alight. In a thunderous explosion like none I've seen before or since, Ion split the firmament open and cast Važjuma back into the Void.2 Translator's Notes 1. Klavigar Nadox refers to Grand Karcist Ion using the Old Adytite pronoun "ŋuraj", which was interchangeably used to indicate masculine and gender-neutral subjects. The translator has chosen to solely use masculine pronouns for the sake of clarity, though gender-neutral pronouns would have been equally accurate.
2. The veracity of The Seventh Ordeal of Ion has been heavily disputed by members of GoI-004, who claim it is propaganda that attempts to overwrite a historical battle between the Mekhanite army and Lash-Rakal..Lash-Rakal: A colossal airborne entity that allegedly was the child of an Archon. They contend that Grand Karcist Ion's death had actually taken place several months prior, at the hands of PoI-004A-001 ("High Priest Bumaro").
Bumaro, notably, has not publicly confirmed or denied either account.
