 Good afternoon. For those of you who are new, I am Dr. Bedlam, and in today's briefing we will be discussing SCP-7495. Be aware, this document contains references to animal death, listener discretion advised. Item number 7495, level 2 restricted, containment class Euclid, disruption class Blom, risk class Caution. Potential Containment Procedures All SCP-7495 incidents are to be documented so a pattern may be established. To date, there has been no progress towards discovering the origin of SCP-7495. As a result, potential containment vectors are entirely unknown, both due to the scarcity of known incidents and the inability to reproduce said incidents and the random nature in which these incidents are triggered. Description SCP-7495 is the anomalous phenomenon leading to the manifestation and subsequent, often violent death, of an elephant seal, Mironga Angus Terosteris. While the exact parameters that trigger a successful SCP-7495 event are inconsistent and not fully understood, the following has been proven regarding this phenomenon. SCP-7495 solely affects Foundation personnel. The elephant seal involved in an SCP-7495 event is non-anomalous. The elephant seal involved in an SCP-7495 event is created by the anomaly. As in, it is not being teleported from the active population. SCP-7495 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-7495 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 discernable force or entity has been identified as the source of SCP-7495. The leading hypothesis by Site-17 researchers posits that this phenomenon is a form of failed divine intervention. Below is a table defining both personnel and the cause of death slash SCP-7495 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 meters per second, protecting the corpse from a falling piece of debris. Gen. Orlan D. Leonardo. Struck by a truck. An elephant seal materialized between the vehicles and was reduced to a fine red mist. Satellite technician Isaac Lowry. Vacuum exposure after his space suit unexpectedly depressurized and the torso section burst open when an elephant seal manifested within the suit. J. Researcher Marianne Warren. Drowned after being caught in a riptide and being held underwater beneath an elephant seal, which also drowned. Pilot Garrett Bench. Crushed to death with an elephant seal manifested atop him, extinguishing an ongoing cockpit fire. The jet subsequently crashed in a residential area. Director Grover Morris. Blood loss resulting from the shrapnel of a crashed fighter jet piercing through Morris' window, an elephant seal, and Morris' upper body. Researcher Lloyd Jones. Launched into a brick wall at high speed by an elephant seal, the seal was then shot by a bullet meant for Jones. Dr. Javier Martinez. Blood force trauma resulting from an elephant seal performing CPR, consisting of it repeatedly slamming its head on Martinez' chest after he began choking on a peanut. Thank you for listening.
