 Item No. SCP-3897 Anomaly Class Keter Threat Level Orange Special Containment Procedures Physical containment of SCP-3897 is not currently possible. Information Task Force Omega-08, Radio Corsairs, are the continually monitored Global Foundation listening network Panopticon for all radio waveforms consistent with SCP-3897 transmissions. Mobile Task Force Delta-45, Roland Thunder, will engage SCP-3897 upon manifestation, where upon MTF Sigma-66, Steel Vale, will be deployed for the purposes of disinformation and public amnestization. All materials jettisoned by SCP-3897 are to be collected for examination. All public records referencing individuals taken by SCP-3897 are to be deleted, and all associated family members and social contacts amnesticized. Description SCP-3897 is an aggregate of few human corpses, with an estimated mass of 250,000 kg. With it an unknown mechanism, SCP-3897 is capable of levitation and directed aerial locomotion and observed speeds of up to 55 km per hour. SCP-3897 typically maintains an average altitude of 3,000 m. SCP-3897 possesses a number of barnacle-encrusted limb-like structures, the largest of which is approximately 70 m in length. It will infrequently descend from its average altitude and utilize these appendages to capture humans, integrating them into its mass. It will generally avoid large population centers, preferring to select targets in isolated locations. SCP-3897 will most commonly extend its limbs through the windows of private domiciles during evening hours, capturing individuals while they are asleep. Residents of SCP-3897 share a number of broad commonalities. Among these are mental illness, diminishing financial situation, recent loss of employment, poor physical health, divorce, recent suicide attempts, or other recent personal tragedies. SCP-3897's reason for seeking individuals displaying these traits if one exists is unknown. SCP-3897 occasionally ejects objects from its central mass. To date, these have at separate times included various deceased fish, assorted molten insect exoskeletons numbering in the thousands, hull and partial human corpses, clusters of live human fetuses interlinked via their umbilical cords, and several hundred gallons of algae suspended in whale oil. Each of these deposits is either coated in or otherwise accompanied by a viscous fluid, which, upon examination, has been determined to be a mixture of seawater, human serous fluid, saliva, endometrial mucus, semen, and gastric acid. Genetic analysis of these deposits have been consistently inconclusive. Attempts to collect samples of SCP-3897's tissues via aerial drone have been successful. Each sample thus far have returned spectral chemical results typical of human flesh at varying stages of decomposition, albeit with novel combinations of various microbial organisms, algae, seawater, and inconclusive genetic information. While SCP-3897 does not react in any noticeable way to samples being taken from it or to other forms of invasive testing, it will de-manifest if it is threatened via the application of force. SCP-3897 will rapidly emit an opaque cloud of gas from an array of orifices on its surface. This is principally comprised of various toxic compounds, including variants of sarin, sposgene, and mustard gases, atomized human blood, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. It will then vanish, reappearing in another region of the upper troposphere elsewhere on Earth. SCP-3897 constantly emits radio waves in a wide range of frequencies. These transmissions typically consist of varying levels of characteristic noise, assorted recordings of disparate subject matter, and messages spoken in a variety of languages and voices. The subject of these spoken messages varies and is occasionally incoherent. Notable examples follow, date, location, content of transmission. April 4th, 2010 Cork County, Ireland Transmission consists of an amalgam of various recordings, including the sound of a running waterfall, ocean waves, birdsong, sounds resembling high volume borboregmas, whale song, and children laughing. February 22nd, 2011 Southern Pacific Ocean Female voice speaking in Dutch, interspersed by periods of static, unfamiliar, lack of hunger, non-observable, result satisfactory, defenses estimated to be minimal, unknown, affirmative, sorrows inducted currently number, yes, integrity nominal. July 2nd, 2011 Easter Island, Chile Male voice speaking in an unknown and as-yet untranslated language bearing phonetic similarities to Latin. November 27th, 2011 Lapland, Finland Child voice, indeterminate gender. The liberty has not exceeded its chosen domain. Interference currently within acceptable bounds. Conversion of 29 prospective bears underway, of further 46 located, non-significant, praised a mother, she who burst in devours all, who sews and harvests, who grants sickness and health, praised she who is without rest, flesh integration nominal, our bodies unto the mother, we await the edict, our waters unto the mother, we shall never rest, our hearts unto the mother. Addendum, continued observations of SCP-3889 have revealed that SCP-3897 has appeared within 15 km of every 3889 Tehm event recorded since 2012. When questioned about this, SCP-3889 commented, like, yep, they're getting worse, and now she's watching me. SCP-3889 declined to elaborate before vanishing. The advent of this information has led to the discovery that SCP-3897 is either capable of existing in multiple places simultaneously, or that there are multiple iterations of this anomaly. Investigation into SCP-3897's correlation to SCP-3983, SCP-3889, and all related phenomena is currently underway.
