 Item No. SCP-5135 Level 4 Secret Containment Class Safe Disruption Class Ecce Risk Class Caution Secure Containment Procedures Physical evidence supporting the existence of the events of SCP-5135 are to be secured and archived. People claiming to remember any events associated with SCP-5135 are to be administered amnestics and pending brief psychological review released without further incident. The area containing SCP-5135-1 is to be secured with a 1km radius exclusion area inside the Golden Gate National Recreation Area marked with physical security, fencing, and security personnel. SCP-5135-1 itself is to be sealed inside a 10m x 10m Acophagus with cement walls no less than 0.5m in thickness. There is to be no door into the container. Note, this acophagus is meant to protect SCP-5135-1 from exterior forces. It will offer no mitigation of destructive impact in the event of detonation. Description SCP-5135 is a global scale armed conflict which did not occur between 2009 and 2017, for which evidence exists that it did. This evidence, which consists of documents, radio signals, photographs, and fragments of digital data such as images and communications, has been recovered intermittently since 2011. It is theorized that this evidence is an anomalous manifestation of an alternate parallel timeline, see Addendum Z. Very little exists about the details of SCP-5135. Subgeneral information about the cause, context, and impact of the conflict has been learned through examination of the recovered data. SCP-5135 involves at least four global superpowers, of which two are the United States and the People's Republic of China. SCP-5135 utilizes a high level of espionage and cyber warfare. The first physical-military engagement on US soil occurred in 2010, with additional engagement occurring several times since then, as late as 2014. Widespread misinformation campaigns are integral to the strategies of at least the United States, and one other belligerent. The conflict has included nuclear engagement since at least 2016. The Foundation may be involved. SCP-5135-1 is an undetonated nuclear device. It is of a size and payload similar to the Soviet RDS-202 hydrogen bomb, SAR-Bomba, tested on October 30th, 1961. The casing is inscribed, see below. Its estimated yield is approximately 97 megatons. Casing inscription, The Families Lost, Kauai, Hawaii, December 24th, 2012. Indistinguishable, North Carolina, March 12th, 2016. This one's for you. SCP-5135-1 is locked in a temporal stasis field, and presently hovered 104.6 cm above the ground. The source of this field is unknown, but is suspected to be caused by Foundation personnel or an equivalent in the SCP-5135 timeline. Measurements suggest that despite appearing still, SCP-5135-1 retains its momentum and kinetic energy. As such, antiphysical interaction with it may cause instant detonation. Addendum 1. There Arise Timeline The following is a possible timeline of events for SCP-5135-2,008. The United States sends emergency relief supplies in response to the 2008 C. Schwann earthquake. Some of these supplies are contaminated with biological agents that cause a biological outbreak resulting in an unknown number of casualties. Early 2009, Chinese agents operating in the US uncovered that this contamination was intentional. China launches a military strike against the United States. Details in US response unknown. November 2009, after escalated military engagement over the year, another nation joins the engagement with a military operation against China. The United States denies affiliation or alliance with this third nation. 2010, military troops arrive on the east coast of the United States from another unknown nation. 2011, in a closed-door summit, members of the European Union express the desire for this conflict to end. Summer 2012, military forces attack Hawaii and set up a military installation in Kauai. The United States begins their siege of this installation. December 24, 2012, the United States bombs the installation of Kauai, killing hundreds of military and civilians. The US considers this operation a success. Early 2013, the National Security Agency begins a disinformation campaign to quell growing US concerns after the bombing of US civilians. March 2016, a nuclear strike occurs on US soil. June 2016, an aircraft with a nuclear payload is shot down over Italy by unknown aggressors, resulting in catastrophic losses of civilian life. No evidence has been recovered regarding any events after this occurred. It is unclear if the war ended after this point, or the world evolved into a self-destructive nuclear conflict. Addendum 2, Collected Evidence of SCP-5135 Inventory Code 5135-E-1 Description, a corrupted digital photograph of a US government document indicating a military strike by China in early 2009. Contents, sections in red are marked for redaction under 50-USC Section 403. Unclassified under the authority of the CIA. Hours to do something, decision now. This was unprovoked, and we need to continue to show that the American people are strong in the face of chaos. I have expressed to the Chinese Ambassador that in light of this attack, we will be asking the Chinese government to recall him. We would like this done before the end of March. Let me reiterate to all of you that the impact of this attack, the American way of life is the highest priority. There will be no mercy for those who would attempt to imp- values our lands and our way of life moving forward. Inventory Code 5135-E-2 Description, an audio fragment of a phone call between an unknown US government employee, possibly employed by the US Secretary of State, and an unknown party. Metadata indicates this call took place in on November 19th, 2009, at 5.43 pm Eastern Time. The US Secretary of State already said that we're just a valley and new relationship. Where guardlets, the CMT, and green grease that were involved. They don't know that, and with all the attacks this year, I can't imagine that they all are going to authorize that kind of conversation. All right sir, I understand. Inventory Code 5135-E-3 Description, an encrypted plain text file from an unknown US operative. Significant data loss. Contents, PRC aware US in b- n-0a bio op. Horses operating in Kauai since 12th.

Roma, Army 1016, heading 025 on the 10-16. Army 1016, wrong word, you've got to aircraft heading 185, let me see. Roma, Army 1016, negative. Army 105, aircraft heading 187, he's mad. Roma, all is well. Army, I do believe that... Army, keep fire, keep fire, US Army 173rd Infantry Airborne, keep fire. Keep fire, advise, I'm carrying a nuclear... Why? We're easy to hear that, bastard. I'm Putt Mayjo, Nathan Mayjo. I'm in for fire. Dormitory, unarmed, unarmed, like level 5 magazine. Center position, 1004, can you maintain the number... Base, company's closed, in and out, you're making a hollow. Tracking, crossroads, no! End of Recording Addendum 3 – Additional Observations Dr. Voight is a theoretical physicist, specializing in temporal anomalies. It is employed in the Foundation Office of the Historian. Recording begins. There is one thing they want to be completely and totally clear about, yes? I want to be certain that this war is not something that happened in our reality, we are not threatened by it. Dr., that's a bit of a complicated question. On the surface, yes, it definitely seems that this war tangibly did not happen here. The collection of items we've uncovered paint a very stark picture of a world that we are quite sure never occurred. But you have another theory? Unfortunately, there is the possibility that war did happen. It could still be happening. Where? Here, on earth, in this reality. Dr. Delkert scribbles in a notebook. Some kind of anti-mimetic war? And these pieces of evidence are… no. Not an anomalous war, a mundane one, perhaps contained partially by anomalous means, but a mundane war nonetheless. SCP-5135 is a full-scale armed conflict, Dr., involving multiple nuclear attacks and massive loss of both military and civilian life. And? That's not something you could easily hide. You're not a military man, are you, if you don't mind me saying so? No. Ever been to Iraq? No. Can you tell me? How do you know the war in Iraq happened? Through historical records, media reporting. And if there was none? What if the news never reported on the war in Iraq? Never made statements about it. Never decorated soldiers for it. Would you even know it happened? You're talking about a cover-up on a global scale. Wouldn't there be evidence? Dr. Boyd is tapping on the front page of the containment file for SCP-5135. Physical evidence supporting the existence of the events of SCP-5135 are to be secured and archived. My god, are we... are we the cover-up? Recording ends.
