 SCP-1535 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-1535 is to be kept in a security locker at Site-18. The object should be handled carefully during testing due to its fragile nature. The lid of SCP-1535 is to be kept in a separate locker, only to be removed during testing. Description SCP-1535 is a glass mason jar manufactured by the Ball Company in 1946. SCP-1535 is physically similar to a typical glass mason jar. Anomalous properties of SCP-1535 present themselves when non-CP entities such as insects or reptiles are placed within and the lid of SCP-1535 is sealed. These present within SCP-1535 after it has been sealed gain the ability to reason, fluency in the Spanish language, familiarity with Catholicism, and knowledge of Morse code. Residents of SCP-1535 are referred to as SCP-1535-1. Attempts to open the lid of SCP-1535 without damaging SCP-1535 have proven to be ineffective while living SCP-1535-1 are located within. The lid of SCP-1535 is removed simply when SCP-1535 no longer contains living SCP-1535-1. SCP-1535-1 expires 1-2 hours after being sealed within, presumably due to lack of oxygen. Interview SCP-1535-1 A firefly is used in the following tests for ease of communication. Living with species of reptile and insect have proven themselves to be similar in result. SCP-1535-1 communicates by blinking and Morse code. SCP-1535-1 Father, is it really you? Researcher Breen. Yes. I am at your will. You understand the joy I feel now seeing you finally. Tell me your name. I was named Camilo de Garabe after my father, also a devote servant. How did you get here? I followed the light in the darkness. Could you be more specific? What happened before this? I… Well, as you know, I died by a sinful disease. Please forgive me. You are forgiven. I have always wondered, what happens now that I am here? I am accepted here, correct? I have been faithful. Are you aware of your present condition? This is… strange, but I do not question your ways. Thank you. Breen speaks through the intercom. Interview is complete. Please remove SCP-1535. More light can be seen flashing and increasing intervals from SCP-1535-1. One moment. There may be something else here. I have been faithful. I have destroyed evil men for you. Please. Please let me in. Please. SCP-1535-1 begins flying around SCP-1535 violently, colliding with its wall before falling to the bottom. Is this hell? Not really. Interview concluded. SCP-1535-1 does not communicate afterward. SCP-1535-1 expires in two hours. Researchers note, so far all SCP-1535-1 entities claim to be deceased residents of Castile in Spain, who lived between the years of 1500 and 1600.
