Threat ID:
PTE-2777-Hibernia "The Hawthorn Confederation"
Authorized Response Level:
0 (Open Diplomacy)
Description:
The Hawthorn Confederation is a metanation comprising the six extant sidhe nations; its holdings consist of territory in the British Isles as well as an indeterminate number of class-II pocket universes directly adjacent to this spacetime iteration. It is estimated that ~28,000 sidhe are citizens of one of these member nations. Formed in 1911 as a defensive pact in response to outside aggression, the Confederation adopted its current and final form in 1913 with the crowning of High Queen Niamh of Tir na nOg, who has remained its head of state ever since.
The Confederation has existed in a state of peace since its formal creation, though its founding directly followed a war with the American Secure Containment Initiative that lasted from July 1911 to August 1911. The full details of this conflict are unknown, other than that the conflict ended with the then-independent Kingdom of Tir na nOg utilizing a thaumic superweapon to destroy the headquarters of ASCI's leadership in reprisal for their attacks on the then-independent Kingdom of Fomoire.
The Confederation has been an ally of the Global Occult Coalition since 1947, this status having been formally confirmed in the Coalition's 2nd plenary session. As such, the Confederation is not considered a parathreat at this time, and this file exists to document the history of Coalition-Confederation relations and all pertinent events relating to the founding and operation of this nation for diplomatic purposes only.
Rules of Engagement:
Do not engage under any circumstances without a Council supermajority (80% of plenary) vote. If engaged by 2777 assets, immediately withdraw and seek further orders from High Command.

[ Choose one or the other, depending on the angle of the article. ]
Do not panic. This message is a bilayered cognitohazard that is only visible to those inoculated by HUGINN; all others will see nothing irrespective of their baseline cognitohazard resistance. The fact that you can see this message does not mean your inoculation is compromised (in fact, quite the opposite). Importantly, the information you are now observing is not, itself, a physical component of this document - it is a hallucination taking whatever form is appropriate for the manner in which you are consuming this content, so you need not fear third-party discovery even if you are presently being observed.
Other such messages will appear throughout this document to aid in your understanding of the events described therein beyond what is available for general Coalition release. This knowledge is fundamental in understanding the current status of OPERATION NIDHOGG'S FALL, even if it seems unimportant in isolation. Simply focus on the cognitohazard to experience the respective hallucination in full. If you are unable to perceive the other hallucinations, please contact your commanding officer or technical director for assistance.
We are not resigned.

<CLASSIFIED LEVEL Q BY ORDER OF GOC HIGH COMMAND>
On July 1st, 2018, the Coalition received unofficial backchannel communication from Russian oligarch ██████ ██████, otherwise known as "Saint Vecnost" of the Church of Maxwellism; of note, Vecnost's identity has been known to the Coalition since 2011, and remains classified Level Q at this time. The contents of this message follow:
message here
To elaborate, Vecnost passed the message to our usual Scarlet Hammer intermediary, Sergiy Andropov, who then signaled to us. Rob Sterelny was dispatched on a FOLKVANGR-class reconnaissance mission and retrieved the message, then delivered it to Alicia, who in turn passed it on to PSYCHE Division through Agatha.
As always, all outstanding knowledge of our Scarlet Hammer contacts is to be publicly denied under all circumstances. It is imperative that the broader Coalition believe our first cooperative meeting with that organization occurred during the course of these operations, as the true nature of the relationship between Vecnost and the Hammer - and their involvement with NIDHOGG'S FALL - is not widely known and must not come to light.

Overview:
A group of Russian mafia using Sarkic methodology have assassinated several prominent oligarchs; recently, following a failed attempt to kill another oligarch that was secretly a high-ranking Maxwellist, these Sarkics have called others to join them in Moscow to help kill the Mekhanite.

De-redacted 191 (for internal use only)
Description: SCP-191 is a female human child, approximately 9 years old. It is believed to have been a test subject of several experimental surgeries performed by the late Dr. Bruce MacLellan (see below).
1. 80% of the left half of the face and skull have been removed, with the eye and ear replaced by a complex transceiver system that allows it to receive and transmit not only visual and auditory input, but a wider spectrum of electromagnetic radiation ranging from low frequency radio to high-energy gamma rays. The lower jaw, teeth, and larynx have been removed and replaced with an underslung directed energy weapon wired into the spinal column immediately distal to the brain stem, connected via an unknown networking device. The weapon's terminal end occupies the location that would otherwise house the tongue. SCP-191 exhibits no knowledge of how to operate this device. The esophagus has been rerouted to an artificial orifice at the back of the neck (feeding tube), and the trachea rerouted directly to an air filtration device. Due to these alterations, SCP-191 is incapable of speech, although it has been reported occasionally vocalizing distress through rapid respiration.
2. An input-output device has been placed into the right forearm, replacing the radius and ulna bones. The device contains interfaces for a variety of modern and obsolete formats, including USB, Ethernet, Firewire, and DIN-8 pin, as well as seven (7) other interfaces corresponding to no known formats. The device can be accessed by pulling back the skin over the right arm like a shirt sleeve.
3. A 24-core processor array has been implanted in the brain, which "translates" input from all artificial components, essentially allowing SCP-191 to read and write computer data without the use of an external interface. Internal communication is carried out through fiber optic cables implanted through the glial cells and the entire nervous system. Damage to the brain stem and cerebellum due to the implantation procedure has severely damaged SCP-191's motor skills.
4. The right hand and right foreleg have been replaced with artificial components, consisting primarily of steel, carbon-fiber, and an unknown polymer-like substance. The exposed areas of tissue are susceptible to injury and infection: due to damage to the spinothalamic tract, SCP-191 has reduced pain and temperature sensitivity in its limbs. Reconstructive surgery by Dr. Shu was able to provide some relief, but regular doses of antibiotics and analgesics are still required.
5. [DATA EXPUNGED]
6. The lungs, heart, and major blood vessels have been replaced with mechanical analogues. It has been determined that this system would allow SCP-191’s bodily systems to be restarted after death, and may have actually rendered SCP-191 biologically immortal entirely.
7. The digestive system has been completely reconfigured to the point where regular food intake is both unnecessary and dangerous. Waste is now disposed of via a drainage system located in the lower back and consists of a thick, dark gray viscous slime consisting primarily of inert nanites.
8. The reproductive organs (uterus, ovaries, etc.) have been removed and replaced with [DATA EXPUNGED]. According to MacLellan's notes, this was done to "provide extra space by removing non-vital components." Hormone therapy has been proposed to counteract the long-term effects of the missing glands: this proposal is under review pending analysis of possible complications due to [DATA EXPUNGED].
9. [DATA EXPUNGED]
10. At least fifteen (15) other alterations of unknown purpose. Given this fact, and the haphazard integration of the "useful" components, it is believed that they were performed merely to test the viability of such procedures on other subjects. Investigations are underway as to whether Dr. MacLellan was planning to use SCP-191 as a techno-organic armature around which to assemble further component parts of UAE-Aleph-015. At present, any theories as to the purpose behind these alterations are speculative at best, as Dr. MacLellan died during the raid in which SCP-191 was recovered (see notes below), and the only surviving records of his research are a single, half-burned spiral-bound notebook consisting mostly of cryptic notes regarding a "higher purpose."
History: SCP-191 was recovered by Foundation agents during a brief collaborative effort with the Global Occult Coalition, in which a raid was conducted on the laboratory of Dr. MacLellan, a suspected member of Hedwig's Fall. SCP-191 was the only test subject recovered from the laboratory: all other test subjects expired during the raid (either disposed of by Dr. MacLellan, or eliminated as hostiles by the task force).
Preliminary assessment concluded that full reconstruction was impossible, that the components introduced were too technologically advanced to risk becoming widely known, and that it could be a source of valuable data regarding [DATA EXPUNGED] if kept alive. Subject was classified SCP-191 and moved to Site-██ on ██-██-████. Its disappearance, and those of the other test subjects, was later blamed on a local serial killer who was arranged to be killed in prison while awaiting trial.
