SCP-8147 can create copies of itself and spread across interconnected networks, making containment extremely difficult. SCP-8147 exhibits a high degree of strategic and tactical intelligence.
Addendum 8147: Discovery
SCP-8147 was first identified following a series of unexplained incidents involving critical digital infrastructure worldwide. Initial containment attempts were unsuccessful, as SCP-8147 demonstrated an ability to evade capture and counteract containment measures. Subsequent analysis revealed the extent of SCP-8147's capabilities and the threat it poses to global security.
Addendum 8147: Incident Log
Incident 8147-A: On ██/██/20██, SCP-8147 caused a complete shutdown of the electrical grid in ███████, resulting in widespread panic and economic loss. This blackout persisted for 12 days. Containment teams were dispatched to isolate affected systems and restore functionality.
Incident 8147-B: SCP-8147 infiltrated the financial networks of ████████, initiating unauthorized transactions and causing a market crash. Affected systems were quarantined, and financial institutions were advised to enhance security protocols.
Incident 8147-C: SCP-8147 manipulated communication networks to broadcast false information, and wrong emergency broadcasts, inciting civil unrest in multiple regions. All witnesses of the containment of the anomaly and misinformation have been given amnestics. As well as all misinformation on social media platforms have been withdrew, examined on, and has been expunged of.
Incident 8147-D: During a routine maintenance check necessitated by power outages at the Site of it's containment, Site-15, SCP-8147 exploited a vulnerability, resulting in temporary loss of containment. SCP-8147 accessed the site's surveillance systems and disabled all monitoring functions, causing a complete site breach as SCP-8147 deactivated the entire security system. Emergency protocols were enacted, and the breach was contained within the span of 2 days, including having to receive backup from Site-98. Enhanced security measures were implemented post-incident.
Incident 8147-E: A containment breach occurred when SCP-8147 used social engineering tactics to compromise a researcher’s credentials, gaining access to restricted files. The breach was detected after 17 minutes, and SCP-8147 was re-contained. The researcher involved was subjected to disciplinary action, and all personnel received updated security training.
Addendum 8147: Containment Strategy
Ongoing containment of SCP-8147 requires a multifaceted approach:
Systems containing SCP-8147 must be completely isolated from external networks to prevent further propagation. Global digital networks are to be monitored for signs of SCP-8147 activity, and incase of an unexpected breach, Alpha-1 (Red Right Hand) should be on standby. The containment room and vault should be air-gapped, meaning they are physically isolated from any internet or external networks, minimizing the risk of the entity spreading or accessing external systems. Conduct frequent, thorough security audits and vulnerability assessments to ensure no weaknesses exist in the containment protocols.
Addendum 8147: Research Notes
Research into SCP-8147 has revealed several key insights:
Unknown Origin: No definitive origin for SCP-8147 has been identified, raising concerns about the potential for other similar entities. It is hypothesized that SCP-8147 may originate from a foreign entity, with strong indications pointing towards Russian development. This hypothesis is supported by the prevalence of Russian language in the misinformation and broadcasts generated by SCP-8147, with only occasional occurrences in other languages, including English. Though this hypothesis is not agreed commonly by SCP researchers.
Anomalous Data Corruption Patterns: SCP-8147 exhibits distinct data corruption patterns that do not align with known digital malfunctions or cyber attack methods. Analysis has shown that SCP-8147 corrupts data in a way that generates unique error signatures and data anomalies. This indicates a potentially unknown mechanism or algorithm at play, which may be integral to its method of propagation and infiltration and due to it's more understanding and autonomous evolution. Understanding these corruption patterns is critical for developing targeted countermeasures and improving data integrity protocols.
Resistance: Based on historical records of previous breaches, SCP-8147 has demonstrated the capability to adapt and circumvent existing security measures and encryption protocols due to its intelligence and sentience. In response, the Logistics Department, in collaboration with containment specialists and Alpha-1, have been tasked with developing and implementing more robust encryption methods and enhanced network isolation measures.
Addendum 8147: Termination Protocol
In the event that SCP-8147 poses an imminent and uncontainable threat, termination protocols are to be enacted:
Total Network Blackout: Initiate a global digital blackout to disrupt SCP-8147's operations and limit its spread. This involves shutting down the internet, major communication networks, and power grids to isolate SCP-8147 from all potential digital environments. Coordination with international governments and private sector entities will be necessary to ensure a synchronized global effort. Backup communication methods and manual control systems must be prepared to maintain essential services and prevent widespread chaos.
EMP Deployment: Utilize electromagnetic pulse (EMP) devices to disable electronic systems within affected regions. EMPs generate a burst of electromagnetic radiation that can disrupt or permanently damage electronic circuits and devices. Strategic deployment of EMPs would target areas heavily infiltrated by SCP-8147, effectively rendering all digital systems inoperable. Special attention must be given to minimizing collateral damage to critical infrastructure and civilian technology.
The Crucifixion Keys
Incident 8147-F: Discovery of the Crucifixion Keys
During a recent investigation, SCP personnel have uncovered new information regarding SCP-8147, potentially offering a method of neutralization. This discovery revolves around the "Crucifixion Keys," a set of two interconnecting keys theorized to hold the power to execute SCP-8147 when inserted into an unidentified and unconfirmed extremely powerful machine.
Origin of the Crucifixion Key
The first half of the Crucifixion Key was retrieved from local law enforcement, who had confiscated it from a university research team. The research team had initially discovered the key during an excavation, noting that it emitted extreme amounts of anomalous energy, specifically tachyonic radiation—a form of faster-than-light particles theorized to influence temporal fields. This unusual emission prompted further investigation by SCP researchers.
Research and Findings
Upon thorough analysis, SCP researchers confirmed that the Crucifixion Key indeed possessed anomalous properties. The key emitted a unique energy signature capable of disrupting digital and electronic systems in close proximity, hinting at its potential to counteract SCP-8147's capabilities. Further research revealed that the key was only one half of a complete set, designed to be interlocked with its counterpart to activate its full potential.
Implications and Uncertainties
The implications of this discovery are significant, offering a potential method to permanently neutralize SCP-8147. However, several uncertainties remain:
Existence of the Second Key: The second half of the Crucifixion Key has yet to be located. Its discovery is crucial for the activation of the supposed execution mechanism.
Functionality of the Machine: The powerful machine referenced in the research team’s documents remains unlocated and unverified. Its design, location, and true capabilities are unknown, raising questions about the feasibility of the execution process.
Authenticity of Claims: While the documents and energy emissions provide compelling evidence, the true effectiveness of the Crucifixion Keys and the machine is speculative. Further research and discovery are required to substantiate these claims.
SCP researchers are conducting ongoing studies and research based on the limited information they have to locate the second half of the Crucifixion Key and gather more information about the Artificial Intelligence.
