 Item number SCP-2146 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-2146 is presently commonly known as DDUSAT-12 and is on record as a defunct communications satellite owned by Defense Design United, a holding of Standard Communications Production, a Foundation Front Company. This information was falsified and entered into the UN Register of Objects Launched into Space by Embedded Agents. It is believed that the registration will discourage close scrutiny. Due to its size and location, recovery or containment is presently thought infeasible. While the Foundation possesses assets capable of reaching the object and subsequently constructing a containment structure or destabilizing its orbit, any such attempt will be too difficult to conceal. MTF-Mood-19, the Starstruck, have been covertly inserted into various astronomical societies in order to identify any potential breaches of the anomaly. Individuals who discover SCP-2146 are to be either administered class B amnesic or discredited, as is appropriate for the situation. The transmissions known as SCP-2146-1 are presently impossible to suppress. However, as the content of said transmission is typically profoundly innocuous, it is considered a low-level threat. The signal has been shown to switch frequencies in early attempts to jam the signal. Its methods of detecting the jam is presently unknown. Full jamming of the range of frequencies SCP-2146-1 broadcast on would have disastrous effects on civilian telecommunications. The transmissions are to be monitored, and these procedures may be modified if the transmissions ever begin to exhibit anomalous or otherwise dangerous properties or content. Complaints to government organizations responsible for telecommunications regulations are to be monitored. The present cover story regarding SCP-2146-1 is that it is a pirate radio station broadcast by an avant-garde art movement. Description SCP-2146 is a frozen corpse of an adult specimen of Balanomistocetus, the bowhead whale, which is presently in medium Earth orbit. Its orbital path is circular, with an inclination of 146 degrees retrograde, and its orbital period is 19.6 hours. The object is approximately 17.5 meters in length, and while its gender is presently unknown, it is, due to its size, statistically more likely to be a female instance of the species. Its estimated weight is approximately 30 tons, one-third that of a healthy specimen of a species due to desiccation. In addition, the object has suffered significant corrosion from micro-impacts, and is deeply cracked in a manner consistent with limited heat exchanges and radiation exposure typical in a vacuum environment. Once every synodic lunar month, 29.5 days, SCP-2146 begins broadcasting radio signals, presently designated SCP-2146-1. These broadcasts range in duration from 2.5 to 18 minutes. It is presently unknown how SCP-2146 transmits these broadcasts. Telescopic viewing has not shown any sign of radio-capable equipment on SCP-2146. These broadcasts vary widely in both content and format. Some appear to be documentaries, others appear to be science fiction dramas, often as a space opera variety. Others seem to be children shows, and others are songs or poems. These broadcasts only feature an audio track, and in every case, features an entity presently referred to as SCP-2146-2, who narrates, acts in, or sings the contents of SCP-2146-1. No other voices have yet been heard in SCP-2146-1 transmissions. The SCP-2146-1 transmissions often feature unusual and occasionally disturbing content. However, SCP-2146-2 is always cheerful to the point of jocularity in the broadcast. Its voice seems to be that of a middle-aged, de-voiced man, and has been known to speak a number of languages, including English, French, Norwegian, Russian, and Inutitude. SCP-2146-1 transmissions contain one other unifying feature. In every case, the contents deal with a space well, a space-based citation. However, the features, motivations, and characterization of this creature changes with each broadcast. No information as to how SCP-2146-1 can be located in Earth orbit has yet come to light. No launches involving bowhead whales or of a size capable of transporting an intact bowhead well are presently known to the Foundation. Discovery SCP-2146 was discovered in 1919 after a number of civilian complaints in several developed nations in the Northern Hemisphere were linked by Foundation analytical personnel. These complaints were generally directed towards government offices that regulated telecommunications and always involved bizarre and disturbing radio show content. The signal, later designated SCP-2141-1, was used to triangulate the location of its source, SCP-2146. Fortunately, developing telecommunications and a subsequent increase in both radio traffic and artificial orbital bodies have rendered SCP-2146 and its transmissions much more difficult to isolate. See above for the present containment procedures. A list of notable SCP-2146-1 broadcasts. Broadcast date ████████ 19 ████ Duration 2 minutes and 56 seconds Language English Content A short jingle, SCP-2146-2 singing, apparently accompanied by guitar, apparently for a children's show featuring Bebo the Space Whale. Several lyrics include, he loves you so much, he's gonna eat your whole world up, you get to learn all about science and Bebo's guts, and swims through space, the sides of a star, he's the friendliest, nicest cosmic monster. Broadcast date ██████ 19 ████ Duration 8 minutes and 14 seconds Language French Content A short political manifesto laying out the rites of exocentations and making a number of derogatory claims regarding oppressive higher-dimensional harpoonists. Notable content includes the exocentations' inalienable right to devour lesser races. Broadcast date ██████ 20 ██████ Duration 16 minutes and 3 seconds Language English Content A melodramatic science fiction production of the space opera variety, including orchestral scoring, not a match for any known piece. Regarding the quest of the brave space whale O'Wabba to defeat the evil empire and rescue space whale princess Bawuha, notable in that the evil empire seems to consist of beings in spacecraft, possibly humanoid. Broadcast date ██████ 20 ████ Duration 12 minutes and 51 seconds Language Norwegian Content A documentary regarding the feeding and mating practices of Balaanus DeLaris, the space whale. Notable in that the species is, by its binomial nomenclature, identified as a right whale, like SCP-2146 as a bowhead whale. Also, the reproduction of a Balaanus DeLaris apparently requires the utter destruction of a primitive civilization. The reason behind its reproductive necessity is not made clear. Last date ████ 20 ████ Duration 6 minutes and 47 seconds Language Russian Content A short science fiction tale about a crew of apparently human biologists in a spacecraft attempting to locate a legendary creature, the space whale. Most of the story consists of the scientist's speculation on the nature of the space whale in a pseudo-scientific and mildly religious manner. The story ends with the crew finding the space whale and, in awe, pledging to worship it. Broadcast date ████ 20 ████ Duration 8 minutes and 22 seconds Language English Content An episode of the children's show Bay-Bo to Space Whale, which was featured in an earlier broadcast of SCP-2146-1 in the jingle, involves a number of children in a spacecraft speaking through a communicator with the nearby Bay-Bo, a star-sized citation. The episode consists of a simplified explanation of gravity, appropriate for 8-10-year-old children. The episode ends with the spacecraft crashing into Bay-Bo, and the narrator stating, In the children all died, they should have paid more attention to the lesson, I guess.
