 Good afternoon. In case you are new, I'm Dr. Theron Sherman, and today we will be studying SCP-6088. There isn't any objectionable material in this document, so let's begin. Item Number SCP-6088 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures Foundation agents embedded within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are to periodically search through all stored records and check for signs of SCP-6088. In the event of a positive identification, the contaminated record is to be temporarily sealed and monitored until the phenomenon abates. Description SCP-6088 is a phenomenon in which written records pertaining to NASA's Voyager program are spontaneously altered to include reference to a fictitious Herald space probe. These alterations are relatively minor, consisting of at most a single paragraph, but details described are consistent across occurrences. Alterations caused by SCP-6088 are believed to persist only for a short amount of time. The longest observed alteration lasting only six hours. Alterations caused by SCP-6088 most often consist of brief and macabre references to Herald as a counterpart to Voyager, usually replacing Voyager 2 in descriptions. Even in cases where they are not outright replaced, mentions of Voyager 2 were often excised during SCP-6088. No records to date have explicitly described the supposed purpose of Herald, and what information is provided does not give any wider context. Mentions of a Black Accusation, a presumed counterpart to the Golden Record carried by Voyager 1 and 2, are also included in a number of SCP-6088 alterations. Addendum 6088-1 Alteration Log The following is a curated log of records altered by occurrences of SCP-6088, a full archive is available upon request. The director prefers Herald for the name, he thinks it suits the intended purpose quite nicely, and I agree.

Diplomatically, can we really include it? Source Internal Nessa Memo Original Text Thank you for the update. I've looked over the figures myself, but I'd feel reassured if you were to go over them one more time. Better safe than sorry, you understand. Writer Edward C.
