Research Study CODE: RED [Part One]
The King's Fabled Prophet
Hello Dr. Zolotov,
By now you must be aware of the danger that comes with keeping a creature such as SCP-XXXX alive. We at the 05 Council have discussed the matter, and have come to the conclusion that SCP-XXXX must be neutralized. Since we have no means of doing so, we are assigning a group of researchers such as yourself to assist in an investigation of the origin and nature of SCP-XXXX, with you being the lead researcher in the project.
We have since designated this project Research Study CODE: RED. It is your job to research anything that could potentially lead us to discovering a means of neutralizing SCP-XXXX. During this investigation, everything related to SCP-XXXX must be documented on a weekly basis. This project is a level 6 cosmic top-secret, and any leaking of information regarding Research Study CODE: RED will result in an immediate termination from both the project and foundation.
I have personally allowed Mobile Task Force Psi-4 to assist you in this project, with limited information being given to said MTF. I have administered Dr. Zyn Kiryu to assist you as your lead hand in this operation, due to his involvement and reliability in numerous other foundation projects. I will be hearing from you soon.
-The Administrator
Note: The following is a log of known Fractionator instance rankings. All Fractionator are completely different from each other and only share a few common traits among each other. Common traits include red or crimson-toned skin, hard carbon-based armor plating on certain body parts, incredible mobility, and incredible durability.

| K4-Incubus |
Fractionator's given this designation are the smallest of all known Frationator instances. They have been known to vary in size from being 3 ft in height to 14 ft. They are commonly agile, with many being known to be able to outrun an average human male. Although they are the smallest, they are in no way docile, with some being known to violently attack anything in sight (see "Decrepit One"). K4-Incubus are usually easy to dispose of, though some have proven to be incredibly resilient to common firepower. |

| Code Name: "The Broken One"
| Classification: W9-Rhadamantus
| Disruption Class: Keneq
| Risk Class: Danger
| Final Location: Maple Grove, Minnesota
Emergence Time: 3:49 pm 2012-02-13
Neutralization Time: 11:52 pm 2012-02-15
Description: "The Broken One" shares many characteristics with members of the order Phasmatodea, more specifically the Clonopsis gallica. It's skin is silky-white in color, with a slightly acidic liquid coating covering the entirety of it's body. It has three long "pikes" on it's head, which it uses to skewer creatures and pull them up to it's beak-like mouth. "The Broken One" is able to travel at incredible speeds for it's size, able to gain a consistent speed of 87 mph. Whenever "The Broken One" moves, a variety of loud cracking sounds could be heard emanating from the creature, described by local civilians as sounding much like multiple twigs being snapped in quick succession.
Summery of Events: "The Broken One" emerged from below the Fracture Zone approximately 2 hours after SCP-XXXX begun an emergence event. It then proceeded to make it's way to Maple Grove, Minnesota in under 27 minutes before being tracked down by MTF Nu-7. After arriving at it's intended destination, "The Broken One" proceeded to skewer roughly 12 citizens before being tracked taking heavy fire from Nu-7. The creature began to abruptly twitch an convulse, quickly firing out heavy amounts of acidic fluid moments later. The fluid proceeded to burn through the suits of 2 Nu-7 operatives, killing both of them soon after. "The Broken One" quickly made it's way to a local park where it proceeded to struggle against Nu-7 for roughly 3 hours before being neutralized. MTF Epsilon-9 arrived 13 minutes later to incinerate it's corpse. 12 civilian and 2 MTF casualties were reported.
Recovered Items: None.

Subject: Analysis of Fresco Content within SCP-4400
A large number of the painted stucco reliefs within SCP-4400 have been completely changed from their equivalents in Palenque. The following are excerpts of what are believed to be the most important altered frescoes. (As a note, the paint of these frescoes is generally preserved, uncharacteristic for Mayan art of the Late Classical Period.)
Fresco #0001:
A man is standing over a silver rock, which is surrounded by a sunburst motif. He appears to recoil from the rock.
In a series of frames following the original, the man from before can be seen vomiting, clutching his head, losing hair, and finally dying.
Fresco #0001 is a common fresco within SCP-4400, and is the most frequent in appearance. The symptoms of the man appear consistent with an ancient perception of radiation poisoning.
Fresco #0004:
A man descends through a representation of an SCP-4400 access tunnel, and into a representation of Xibalba. The Twelve Lords of Xibalba are seated below the man, and looking up at him.
Fresco #0004 is located near the exits of most access tunnels and is an example of a common theme within SCP-4400, which depicts SCP-4400 as a place of death, with many associations to the Mayan Underworld. Figures are frequently depicted as entering SCP-4400 and dying, with the majority of imagery acting as an imperative to not enter or explore.
Fresco #0007:
A man is walking into a representation of the Temple of the Sun, with his foot pulling a trip wire. An arrow is flying through the air, aimed at him.
This relief is a part of a series showcasing the numerous traps located within SCP-4400, all located around the appropriate traps, which are in turn located around components of SCP-4400-América.
Fresco #0010:
Fresco #0010 appears to be an anachronistic depiction of a modern atom under the Bohr model, although the diagram is highly simplified and likely inaccurate, preventing proper identification. The atom appears to be in the process of being broken in half.
It is unknown how the creators of SCP-4400 were able to learn of the structure of an atom or have enough knowledge to depict an atom in the state of nuclear fission. Additionally, the purpose of this fresco, and how it would be interpreted is unclear.
Fresco #0012:
Fresco #0012 is located upon the SCP-4400 equivalent to the Temple of the Skull, which contains a large number of frescoes that do not reappear within SCP-4400.
The relief appears to be a stylized, but mostly accurate depiction of the characteristic mushroom cloud caused by a nuclear explosion, viewed from a distance. At the bottom of the cloud is a small city, which has been labeled as "Chak'iin".
The depiction of a mushroom cloud depicted here is highly anachronistic, but accurate nonetheless. Due to the accuracy, it is believed that the artist personally witnessed the events depicted. The apparent name of the city (Chak'iin) does not correspond to any known city, modern or ancient.
A paper document recovered from SCP-4400 contains a map, which has a label for the location of Chak'iin. This supposed location does not correspond with any known Mayan city in Foundation records.
A detachment of Mobile Task Force Xi-Kai was sent to the supposed location of Chak'iin and was unable to find any evidence of permanent construction dating to the Late Classical Period or earlier. However, they did note traces of plutonium-239 and uranium-235 isotopes in the soil, as well as other isotopes believed to have formed from the decay chain of U235.

| Code Name: "The Meat Scribe"
| Classification: T1-Belphegor
| Disruption Class: Vlam
| Risk Class: Warning
| Final Location: Ordino, Andorra
Emergence Time: 2:01 pm 2012-02-13
Neutralization Time: 6:19 pm 2012-2-16
Description: "The Meat Scribe" appears to be an oval-shaped, skinless arthropod with six flexible, prehensile appendages. It carries a large quill along with an anomalous piece of parchment scroll (Now designated SCP-1259). It lacks facial features of any kind, but appears to have an incredibly powerful sensory organ which allows "The Meat Scribe" to detect movement in any direction around it. "The Meat Scribe" is able to move at incredible speeds, fast enough to outrun heavy gunfire from multiple directions at once. "The Meat Scribe" often releases a thick chemical into the air that irritates the eyes and ears. This is thought to be a biological defense mechanism, giving the creature plenty of time to escape. It's skin is impervious to all forms of artillery, only seeming to take damage after being sprayed by heavy doses of SCP-008-INT-A. This effect dose not apply once "The Meat Scribe" Has been neutralized, as it's body was easily incinerated by MTF Epsilon-6.
Summery of Events: The "Meat Scribe" emerged from below the Fracture Zone approximately 34 minutes after SCP-XXXX begun an emergence event. It then proceeded to make it's way to Ordino, Andorra in under 6 hours. After arriving at it's intended destination, "Meat Scribe" proceeded to disrupt the local populace via thick chemical gas for roughly 14 hours before being tracked down by MTF Nu-7. "Meat Scribe" attempted to temporarily blind Nu-7 operatives via thick chemical substance, but failed to properly escape before being shot with a round from a L16 81 mm Mortar. This only proved to slightly hinder "Meat Scribe", allowing the creature to quickly recover and escape. For the next 3 hours, MTF Nu-7 continued to fire at "Meat Scribe", with no long lasting injuries ever being present on the creature. MTF Nu-7 contacted O5-12, noting that "Meat Scribe" was taking little to no damage. O5-12 soon after granted MTF Nu-7 operative Felix Drow full access to SCP-008-INT, seeing this as a perfect opportunity to test the effectiveness of said SCP. Felix was then given a short period of training before arriving at Ordino 12 hours later. He quickly located "Meat Scribe" and fired a compressed liquid form of SCP-008-INT-A out of the mouth of SCP-008-INT. This instantly neutralized "Meat Scribe", with MTF Epsilon-9 incinerating it's corpse shortly after. No civilian or MTF casualties were reported.
Recovered Items: SCP-1259.

| Code Name: "Goldie"
| Classification: G6-Megera
| Disruption Class: Keneq
| Risk Class: Warning
| Final Location: Jakarta, Indonesia.
Emergence Time: 2:01 pm 2012-02-13
Neutralization Time: 11:57 pm 2012-02-13
Description: "Goldie" appears to be a large, bipedal creature of aquatic origin. It's skin is lined with thousands of scales appearing bright gold in color. Closer examination of said scales reveals that they are composed of a gold-tinted platinum substance with a highly unstable chemical compound. "Goldie's" total body length is around 23 ft in length, with a height of 36 ft. It has two legs with long bird-like talons that allow it to grip onto walls and ceilings. It lacks arms of any kind, and instead has two large fins and an abnormally shaped caudal fin. It's head appears much like a snout-less Mitsukurina owstoni, with a outward facing jaw and two large eyes. "Goldie" is capable of making any creature within a 42 mile radius become increasingly aware of the creatures presence. Whenever a sapient creature views "Goldie", said creature will become extremely fearful and docile, often times cowering in fear before being attacked by the creature. "Goldie's" agility combined with it's cognitohazardous effect makes it an extremely dangerous threat.
Summery of Events: "Goldie" emerged from below the Fracture Zone approximately 2 hours after SCP-XXXX begun an emergence event. It then proceeded to make it's way to Jakarta, Indonesia in under 75 minutes before being tracked down by MTF Nu-7.

| Code Name: "Harak's Blanket" and "Lesser Carpets"
| Classification: S7-Beleth
| Disruption Class: Amida
| Risk Class: Critical
| Final Location: North-East of Usinsk, Komi Republic.
Emergence Time: 8:57 am 2012-06-17
Neutralization Time: 1:13 am 2012-06-23
Description: "Harak's Blanket" is an enormous flying creature closely resembling Bathytoshia brevicaudata. It is estimated to weigh over 248,071 tons and have a wingspan of over 19,672 feet in length. It's head is adorned with two sensory antenna that allow it to detect light and help it navigate. It's head to tail length is around 15,002 feet in length, making it the second longest Fractionator to date (only dwarfed by "The Fifteenth Siren"). It's constantly emits loud, seismic waves loud enough to shake the earth, sounding similar to the sounds created from members of the Elephantidae family. It's body has the unique ability to wrap itself up into a formation described as appearing like a "rolled up carpet". It enters this wrapped form whenever "Harak's Blanket" dives down or rises out from under the Fracture Zone (see the below Summery of Events). Due to the immense size of "Harak's Blanket", flying at low altitudes results in the ground below being completely leveled, destroying any structures caught underneath the creature. "Harak's Blanket" is always accompanied by smaller "Lesser Carpets". These creatures are nearly identical in appearance to "Harak's Blanket", with the only major differences being their smaller wings and thinner build. They are incredibly agile, able to move at high speeds while gliding through the air. "Lesser Carpets" make use of their increased agility as seen when they attack aircrafts, diving in and out of the clouds to avoid being shot at. They attack in a similar fashion to Carcharodon carcharias, tending to attack from below in a brutal fashion. "Lesser Carpets" seem to always stay close to "Harak's Blanket", never venturing farther then 462 feet from the creature. These creatures were also observed clinging to the abdomen region of "Harak's Blanket" during it's emergence, leading many Foundation researchers to believe that "Harak's Blanket" is the mother, adult version of the smaller "Lesser Carpets".
Summery of Events: "Harak's Blanket" emerged from below the Fracture Zone in it's wrapped form approximately 2 hours after SCP-XXXX begun an emergence event. Once the top of it's body rose 40 miles (70 km) into the air, "Harak's Blanket" opened it's wings and revealed 6 smaller "Lesser Carpets" attached to it's abdomen region. The "Sky Carpets" quickly detached and began swarming around the "Harak's Blanket". Soon after, the "Harak's Blanket" and all 6 "Lesser Carpets" proceeded to make it's way to Syktyvkar, Komi Republic in under 27 minutes. During this time, MTF Nu-7 operatives piloted 15 Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinels and followed the "Harak's Blanket" while delivering heavy fire in the process. 3 of the 6 "Sky Carpets" dove into the clouds and began swooping towards Nu-7, successfully taking out 4 of the 15 Nu-7 operatives. Nu-7 managed to successfully neutralize the 3 attacking "Lesser Carpets" via use of multiple anti-aircraft missiles. As "Harak's Blanket" neared Syktyvkar, it quickly dove down until it was roughly 13,800 feet above ground. Due to it's level of altitude, all structures beneath "Harak's Blanket" were completely demolished due to the creature flapping it's wings. "Harak's Blanket" flew over Verkhnyaya Maksakovka and leveled the entire locality, killing nearly every civilian caught on ground during "Harak's Blanket's" passing. Nu-7 promptly neutralized 2 more "Lesser Carpets" before reviving a transmission from O5-6 stating that all Nu-7 operatives were to use their loaded beacons (which were attached to the hulls of their fighter jets) to lure "Harak's Blanket" a couple miles North-East of Usinsk. Nu-7 did as commanded, with the beacons proving to be extremely effective at luring "Harak's Blanket". As Nu-7 approached their destination, the last remaining "Lesser Carpet" began to attack more of the fleet, successfully taking out 6 of the 15 Nu-7 operatives before being neutralized. Around 45 miles from Nu-7's destination, O5-6 contacted them again stating that they must detach all beacons into SCP-3930. Once arriving at SCP-3930, all operatives detached their beacons into the anomaly as instructed. "Harak's Blanket" quickly dived after the beacons, rolling into it's wrapped form before making contact with SCP-3930, where the creature ceased to exist. O5-6 was questioned about his knowledge of "Harak's Blanket", simply stating that he "went off a hunch". Uncountable civilian and 10 MTF casualties were reported.

Vaduk, Conqueror of the Planes of Dignity
Son of A’tivik, second Bride of Harak
The first of the King's leviathans. Leader of the Thirty-Seven Sirens. His eyeless skull sees so much. The existence Vaduk found himself within was only known as the Planes of Dignity. A place of dust and sand. A place where large pillars of human flesh rose far into the heavens. A place where he would call home. The only creatures that inhabited these endless dunes were the Thirty-Seven Sirens, which Vaduk quickly tamed as his own. Still yet, he desired more. He continued his conquest, ruling thousands of realities.
He eventually discovered Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge. He saw the Old God's power, and desired it for himself. Knowing of Vaduk's origins, Yaldabaoth taught the leviathan how to weave flesh and blood like sand. How to shape organic matter like water. Vaduk soon after went on to conquer a thousand more dimension, building large pillars of flesh out of his victims in a similar fashion to those of the Planes of Dignity. Though he has yet to meet his father, the day will come. Prey for the sound of the bells my brothers…
