Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-8599 incidents are to be documented so a pattern may be established.
To date, there has been no progress toward discovering the origin of SCP-8599. As a result, potential containment vectors are entirely unknown, both due to the scarcity of known incidents, the inability to reproduce said incidents, and the random nature in which these incidents are triggered.
An Elephant Seal.
Description: SCP-8599 is the anomalous phenomenon leading to the manifestation and subsequent, often violent, death of an elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris).
While the exact parameters that trigger a successful SCP-8599 event are inconsistent and not fully understood, the following has been proven regarding this phenomenon: SCP-8599 solely affects Foundation personnel; The elephant seal involved in an SCP-8599 event is non-anomalous; The elephant seal involved in an SCP-8599 event is created by the anomaly, as in, it is not being teleported from the active population; SCP-8599 events are triggered just before the death of exactly one member of the Foundation's personnel. It is believed that the appearance of the elephant seal is an attempt to stop the incident from transpiring, however, these deaths will still occur regardless of the hapless seal's manifestation. SCP-8599-activating events range from incredibly mundane to extremely anomalous, and attempts to replicate exact parameters in order to reproduce the phenomenon have unilaterally failed.
As of documentation, no discernible force or entity has been identified as the source of SCP-8599. The leading hypothesis by Site-17 researchers posits that this phenomenon is a form of failed divine intervention.
The following is an abridged record of notable SCP-8599 events.
Personnel Cause of Death/SCP-8599 Event J. Researcher Kelly Graham Smoke inhalation after an elephant seal blocked an exit during a fire.
Dr. Kevin Grossman An elephant seal landed on him at a top speed of 440 m/s, protecting the corpse from a falling piece of debris.
