 Item number SCP-4777 Object Class Euclid Neutralized Special Containment Procedures SCP-4777-1's remains are to be preserved in the storage facility of Site-177 and are not to be disturbed for testing without approval from personnel level 3 authorization or higher. It is believed through historical analysis and on-site testing that SCP-4777-2's remains have fully decomposed in their supposed burial ground at Arbor Hill Cemetery Dublin, Republic of Ireland. This site is to be examined for any anomalous activity on an annual basis, under the guise of gas pipe maintenance. The location of SCP-4773-3's remains is currently unknown. A search for these remains was carried out, 1993-2017, but proved unsuccessful. SCP-4777-4's remains are to be preserved in the storage facility at Site-177 and are not to be disturbed for testing without approval from personnel level 3 authorization or higher. Description SCP-4777 is a designation given to all known individuals who have both partaken in a full SCP-4777-A event and have identical genetic code to the Irish Republican and socialist leader James Connolly, this particular individual being designated SCP-4777-2. Individuals included have been observed to retain a partial memetic connection to previous SCP-4777 instances. SCP-4777, despite ageing at an ordinary rate, when tested through means of this carbon dating, retain an identical anomalous biological age. SCP-4777 have been observed to approximately predate the Norman invasion of Ireland. An SCP-4777-A event is the designation given to a specific set of events that every deceased SCP-4777 instance has been partially or fully recorded to have experienced. The characteristics of an SCP-4777-A event are The subject is born at June 5th in any year. The subject becomes involved in the planning of any form of armed conflict, primarily on the island of Ireland, and is present at one of the conflicts to take place as a result of the rebellion. The subject is severely wounded in any way, shape, or form during the armed conflict that they are present at. The subject either dies of their wounds or is executed shortly afterwards. This has occurred at the age of 47 on several occasions for unknown reasons. The effects of previous SCP-4777-A events are very prominent in the politics of the Republic of Ireland, especially in the Republican-Socialist sector. All recorded possible SCP-4777-A events and examples of the sources that they are derived from are listed below. SCP-4777-A-1 Recorded Time Period, June 5th, 1971 through Present August 5th, 2018 Note SCP-4777-1 was born in Northern Ireland under the name Edward McNally. SCP-4777-1 came to attention when it became actively involved in local trade unions, rising in political problems before it was detained. See Addenda Sources SCP-4777-A-1 was listed in the official census of its country of birth several times. SCP-4777-A-1 has a medical record, a driver's license, a bank account, and is listed on many other official documents. See interviews below for more information. Despite previously being known to the public, SCP-4777-A-1 was gradually mostly erased from general public knowledge in a successful disinformation campaign by MTF-707-Mew, Irish Citizen Army, designated Operation Starry Plow. SCP-4777-A-2 Recorded Time Period, June 5th, 1868 through May 12th, 1916 Notes During SCP-4777-A-2, SCP-4777-2 went under the name James Connolly. SCP-4777-2 was born in Scotland, becoming an Irish Republican and socialist leader involved in a multitude of political activities, until being executed by firing squad due to involvement in the attempted Irish rebellion that took place in Dublin at the year 1916. SCP-4777-A-2 has been documented by an extremely large variety of sources, being the only SCP-4777-A event that the general public is aware of. The sources describing SCP-4777-A-2 can easily be found in abundance in the public domain. Thus far, no reason has been seen for a possible counter-information campaign regarding knowledge of SCP-4777-A-2. SCP-4777-A-3 Recorded Time Period, June 5th, 1820 to April 5th, 1867 Notes Subject was born in the Republic of Ireland under the name Joseph Connolly. SCP-4777-3 originally worked as a laborer on a small farm until moving into a workhouse due to the Great Irish Spamming. Many of the details of SCP-4777-3's life were unknown, but it has been recorded that SCP-4777-3 became a member of the Phenians, assisting in the organization of the 1867 Phenian Rison, where it was recorded being shot in an armed engagement between the rebels and police, dying of infection shortly afterwards. The records of SCP-4777-A-3 include listings from consensuses taken during the time, two diary accounts from members of the Phenians, and documentation from the workhouse as Scytherine County Cork. In these diary accounts, SCP-4777-3 is described in a way that has highly reminiscent of all other SCP-4777 instances, both in physical appearance and personality. Another diary extract describes SCP-4777-3 as having an uncanny connection to the history of Ireland. One Phenian and veteran of the 1798 rebellion, Thomas McCracken in 1856, described that he mistook SCP-4777-3 for SCP-4777-4. It is worth noting that despite sharing the same surname, SCP-4777-2, SCP-4777-3, and SCP-4777-4 are not direct descendants. Recorded time period, unknown, through 1798. Notes, no information has been found in SCP-4777-4's birth or origin. It has been recorded that SCP-4777-4 was named James Connolly, and was a member of the Society of United Irishmen. According to a historical source, SCP-4777-4 fought in the Battle of Balanamuck during the 1798 rebellion, being injured and then being executed by government forces by drowning in the nearby bog. Sources, SCP-4777-A-4 is only described in the diary of Thomas McCracken, a rebel who also fought in the 1798 rebellion Connolly. In the diary, SCP-4777-4 is described as being a close friend of McCracken, having a personality and mannerism identical to other SCP-4777 instances. SCP-4777-4's remains have been discovered, and after genetic analysis have been recorded to have identical genetic properties to all other tested SCP-4777 instances. SCP-4777-A-5 Recorded time period, unknown, through 1318. Notes, SCP-4777-5 is described as being a member of an Irish clan that unites with Prince Edward Bruce, under the name Lord Gerald O'Neill. SCP-4777-5 is described as being present at the Battle of Bard, being wounded and later dying of his injury. SCP-4777-A-5's existence has little confirmation. Sources, SCP-4777-5 is only mentioned as being a prominent member of an old Irish clan who joined forces with Edward Bruce against Anglo-Norman control, in accounts taken by a single 14th-century writer as being wounded in battle and dying of his wounds a day later. Interviews, SCP-4777-A-1 to SCP-4777-1-B The following list contains interviews with SCP-4777-1, organized and carried out by MTF-707-MU. Interviewer, Dr. White Forward, initial interview of SCP-4777-A-1, conducted for the purpose of gathering general information on SCP-4777-1 in relation to other SCP-4777 instances. Time, June 20th, 2018 Good morning, Mr. McNally. Good morning to you too, Dr. White. I'm here to assess your situation, and hopefully clear a few things up, Mr. McNally. I understand you must be quite confused. Well, you're damn right I'm confused. Please ask all the questions you need, but know that I've got a few myself. I'll try to answer any queries of yours as well as possible. Mm-hmm. What in hell is going on here? You're in a research facility of sorts. We're keeping you here for a scientific study into the possible connection between your mind and body with a few historical figures. Well? According to Carbon Dating Test, you originate roughly from the Norman invasion of Ireland, for a start. Their genetic code is the exact same as that of James Connolly from the 1916 Rebellion, and another James Connolly from the 1798 Rebellion. Both were Irish revolutionaries. Both suffered fatal wounds from armed conflicts. Those two also share the same abnormal carbon age as you. This has led us to theorize that. So you actually think that I'm James Connolly, and that there are three of me, and that I am some sort of time traveler who fought in the 1798 Rebellion, and the Easter Rising? We also have evidence that you participated in the Phenian Movement, and a Rebellion in 1308. 1308? Yes, that's what we think might have happened. What I intend to do here is see if there's any sort of mental connection that's passed over. Hold on, hold on. This is a joke, right? I'm afraid that this is no joke. Christ Almighty. You people seriously believe this. Me. Time-traveling James Connolly. You know that scene from Back to the Future? Hmm? At the end of Back to the Future, you know when Dr. Brown just barges in on Marty and Jennifer in a time machine and begins talking nonsense about the future dressed like some sort of clown? Ah yes, I am familiar, sorry. It's no bother at all, Dr. White. Anyway, now I'm interested in seeing where this goes. You seem incredibly calm about this right now. Care to try and explain why this might be so? I do. Well, if that's true, I'm not sure why, to be honest. It hasn't really sunk in for me yet. Or maybe you're calmer than you expected, because you felt this was somewhat the case? Um, well, maybe? Like when you told me all of this, it somehow felt like a familiar fact. When you mentioned the Phenians, even a thing in 1308, it could just be the placebo effect. And what do you make of this? Holds up image of SCP-4777-2. God, I've never thought about like this, but it feels like I'm staring into my own face. No wonder, since you are practically facially identical. I always knew it looked like him. Or me. Would you say that these kinds of feelings of attachment led you into socialist politics on reflection? I couldn't give you a hard and fast answer to that one, Doctor. I see. Try to think about it. Hmm. When I try to focus on it, I keep seeing one image. I don't know why, but I keep envisioning being in a green forest. You are probably just overthinking things at this point. Yes, probably. Actually, can I get an official name change here? Well, we do have the resources to do that, if it'll help. What do you have in mind? I was thinking that if I changed my name to James Connolly, something would become clearer. I'll see what I can do. That's all for now. Unlog Closing Statement SCP-4777-1 has described to form a mental link to previous SCP-4777 instances. Interview 4777-2A, 2 July 2, 2018 Interviewed SCP-4777-1 Interviewer Dr. White Forward Further investigating of the conclusions of the previous interview. Time. July 2, 2018, 7am. Begin log. Well, hello, Mr. Connolly. All you need is the mustache now, hmm? Yes, I'll get that sorted out. You might be interested for your research. This name feels far more natural than my previous one, even though I've only had it for a couple days. Very interesting indeed. Are you enjoying your new liberties on the site? It is a very interesting place. The gym is good, too. I'd appreciate more, though. I personally still feel too much like a prisoner with all the restrictions. I haven't seen many windows. Are we underground? Some of the complexes is. I've been told you're mixing well with some of the personnel here at Site-177. Yes, there are many nights spoke around. And I understand you've set up a sort of trade union among staff? That we have. Would you like to sign our petition for fair working hours? We'll discuss that after the interview. Now I understand you've been using the dream diary we gave you, and the results have been rather interesting. Care to explain? I've been having dreams of what you were on about last time we met. Yesterday night I saw myself in the fighting of the Easter Rising. A couple of nights before then I saw the great famine. Felt so real, too. Like a flashback. Well, surprisingly enough, your accounts more or less match the records of your previous selves. Somehow that makes sense. Ever since you told me I've been getting traces of memory, each event builds more familiar and new impulses or images are coming to mind. Strangest thing I've ever felt, but there was also something else. Hmm? You saw my entry about the Druids, right? I had a dream that felt just as real as the others. I was in the middle of a beautiful green forest surrounded by Druids. Whenever I remember that dream, I get this strong sense of purpose. In our last interview you mentioned a forest, and it is possible you originated from a time period where druidic orders were still largely in existence. It felt like something important, and that feeling of having a sole reason to be here. I don't know, you said it was around the Anglo-Norman invasion, right? When you think I originated from? Indeed. What kind of purpose do you feel? I don't know. Something like freedom. That throughout the history of Ireland we've had a long series of rulers and totalitarian regimes, and that it's my job to keep standing up to them. Maybe. Thank you for your time, Mr. Connolly. Dr. N-Log Closing Statement It can't be concluded that SCP-4777 instances share a mental link to the previous instances, being able to access each other's memories. Addendum 4000-1A SCP-4777-1 was deemed fit to receive extra liberties and containment. See Special Containment Procedures after Interview 4777-A-1 At the time of writing of this addendum, SCP-4777-1 has displayed good mental and physical health, showing an interest in the workings of the site and in socializing with various personnel. Currently, SCP-4777-1 has established a small social trade union among personnel, which has already began forming petitions for higher wages for on-site personnel. A request for SCP-4777-1's new liberties to be reduced has been denied by Site Director Boyle, due to it lacking enough evidence or real reasoning to be accepted. The request has been recorded below. To Site-177 Directive I have watched an alarm as SCP-4777-1's containment privileges have become increasingly relaxed, far more than normal. These additional special containment procedures are not a necessity. We do not need to give SCP-4777-1 this much leeway. But still, the Site Director chooses to allow SCP-4777-1 to roam around the site and socialize with staff for the purpose of boosting morale. Access like this is almost never given on the grounds of boosting morale alone. As you may know, all SCP-4777 instances have had a history of being extremely charismatic. From my experiences in communicating with the entity on site, I can confirm this. SCP-4777-1 has a way with words, but sometimes I find myself questioning this. Everything he says feels too agreeable. Why has the Site Director chose to accept his request of wider containment so hastily? And how has he already managed to become the center of a large social circle of Site-177? Michael Collins, an Irish revolutionary who fought under SCP-4777-2 during the Easter Rising, emphasized his charisma, saying that he and his comrades would follow him the hell if they had to. Perhaps there is more to this than a silver tongue. I am suggesting that SCP-4777-1's recent containment allowances be revoked as soon as possible. Because at the rate events have been going, I fear that this may continue to progress to extreme extents. Incident 4777-A, August 4th, 2018 The following incident occurred at Site-177 at August 4th, 2018. It occurred mostly due to unrest caused by the arrest of C-4938, who had been suspected of leaking information. A log of the incident's main events is written below. 7 SCP-4777-1 was cited handing out leaflets with several members of Site-Maintenance staff, as is often done each morning on a daily basis. These leaflets contain propositions of higher working standards for ranks of on-site personnel. An unexpectedly large crowd of staff had gathered around SCP-4777-1. 7.30 As the crowd grew in size, the movement spread throughout the site. Personnel began leaving their posts and organized groups. Vandalism of Site property, chanting, and later release of detainees all began to increase. Personnel spoke slogans such as Freedom of Speech, Give Us Our Rights, and Secure Contain Exploit. 8. The movement initiated by SCP-4777-1 had grown to the point of being considered a threat to the safety of the site, and a riot-controlled security team of 10 personnel, 177-SFB, was deployed to detain and contain SCP-4777-1. 177-SFB was met with heavy resistance by the crowd, having to withdraw after being assaulted by a large number of hostile Site staff, sustaining two injuries from the engagement. The crowd, after this, intensified and quickly grew more violent. 8.15-8.25 The crowd started constructing crude barricades blocking hallways leading into the center of the site, being defended by staff armed with heavy thrown objects, Molotov cocktails, gas grenades, poles, batons, and various firearms. This force had now captured a large portion of the site, including its entire central laboratory, which they quickly began to fortify. Another, larger security force, had been assembled consisting of 42 members. This force attempted to subdue the riot in the central laboratory complex, but was unable to fight the growing crowds and was pushed back to the southern warehouse, where they were forced to retreat after sustaining three casualties and six injuries. 8.30-8.30 The riot had by now soon spread across almost the entire site. Clashes between rioters and security or other personnel had broken out on several occasions. However, there were no fatalities. SCP-4777-1 began sending a spoken message to all wings of Site-177 at 8.30 using the site's PA system. The transcript of the message is below. Workers of Site-177, you have been mistreated, deceived, threatened, and put to work under dangerous conditions for limited pay that you can't even spend properly without your employers going up your back sides with secrecy and whatnot. It's a joke. Many of you are forced to work with hazardous substances that could end your life in the blink of an eye. Some of you lowly genitors have even risked your lives for this foundation several times. And what do you get in return? Separation from your families? Low wages? A contract that has no better than surfed them? A concrete cell to sleep in? Are you any better than the human test subjects they've heard and the pens like cattle for experimentation? And why? Because they don't trust you to not spill the beans? After all your toil? All the faith? They don't trust you. And you? The people they call class D personnel. Well, that's a fancy word for crash test dummy, don't you think? They put your lives in serious danger, just so some middle-aged bald man can know what some alien toxic chemical does to humans. Do you really choose this indignity? This horror? This slavery over prison? Yes. All of you who have been tied to the will of this foundation in the name of secrecy and research. It's time that you ran this place on your own terms. It's time you stopped the injustices and inhumanities and started doing your jobs with dignity. It's time to fight these totalitarian autocrats. 843 A reaction force consisting of six armored vehicles including one light tank, two combat-based mobile task forces, MTF-137 Gamma and MTF-055 Nu, and three riot control divisions were sent to Site-177 to subdue the event. Alpha, consisting of MTF-055 Nu, two riot control divisions, and four armored bans mounted with water cannons, was to attempt to breach site through its conventional entrance at the south wing. Beta, consisting of MTF-137 Gamma, one riot control division, one armored van, and a light tank mounted with CS gas launchers and a high-pressure water cannon, were to breach the site from its northeast wing 10 minutes after the deployment of Alpha. This force would have the aerial support of Strike Drone SD-3777-4 if necessary. 959 Upon reaching the south gate, MTF-055 Nu made contact with Site-177's communications tower and made an attempt to resolve matters peacefully. The staff member present at the communications tower identified as C-54599 of the janitorial sector did not accept surrender. The radio transmission is recorded below. Site-177, this is MTF-055 Nu of the Emergency Response Force. All personnel are to evacuate the site unarmed and give themselves end to Foundation custody. Hmm, no need for that anymore, really. We're fine, thanks. Identify yourself. No need for that either. Sorry, but we got tired of being your slaves. The workers of Site-177 are standing up for themselves, so I suggest you move on. What is your situation? Suns shine and rainbows. Like I said, we're running the site now. We don't need your lot interfering. Signal breaks. After their signal was cut off, Alpha used small C-4 explosives to breach the gate. The explosion from this trigger to improvise explosive booby trap, causing several injuries. Alpha then moved into the courtyard of the site, and came under light fire. A small firefight ensued, causing a fire in the south warehouse. 10-12 Beta reaches checkpoint at the northeast watch tower entrance. Seeing that the gate had been barricaded strongly by rioters, SD-37774 fired a small ballistic missile at the base of one of the northeast walls, opening up an entrance which enabled Beta to enter the northern courtyard. They reached the east side of the Central Laboratory Complex, before being met with heavy resistance by a large crowd of rioters. Beta's light tank arrived later, and cleared a hallway for a great distance. 10-30 The fire that had engulfed the southern warehouse had now spread to the Central Laboratory Complex. The event at this point had resulted in at least two containment breaches, excluding that of SCP-4777-1. 10-51 After proceeding through fire and patching resistance from rioters, Alpha reached the Central Laboratory Complex. The remaining Alpha forces, upon traversing a hallway to the building's cafeteria, which was the presumed center of enemy operations, was ambushed by a group of 12 armed rioters. After a casualty-heavy gunfight, Alpha was forced to withdraw to defensive positions within the southern courtyard with support from SD-37774. 11-15 Beta reached the cafeteria. Within, they met heavy resistance in gunfire, while being attacked by rioters using petrol bombs. In a large class that ensued, Beta remaining scattered security personnel and scattered Alpha forces confront the central concentration of rioters. During the fighting, SCP-4777-1 was wounded by a stray bullet. Roughly an hour later, the clash had finished, and the rioters had scattered. In this engagement, Alpha, Beta, and the security sustained 9 fatalities and at least 20 injuries. After the engagement, 67 rioters had been detained in the following hours. A mop-up operation was later performed after reinforcements in the form of two combat divisions were brought in, and the riot was ended by 1300. N-Log Concluding comments, the incident at Site-177 conceded a total of 43 fatalities in all sides. The majority of these being rioters. Large amounts of Site staff were injured and detained, and all objects that had breached containment during the event had been recaptured. SCP-4777-1 expired of its wounds a day later, and is now classified as neutralized. For his partial responsibility for the event, Site Director Boyle is currently awaiting the motion. Mass demotions or other form of disciplinary action are currently being organized by the new Site Director.
