SCP-7XXX. Image taken by Foundation photographer Frederick Mosley, a Mesothist.

---

Special Containment Procedures:

---

Description:

SCP-7XXX designates a cluster of individuals, approximately 40 in total, roaming the Sahara Desert. Each SCP-7XXX specimen (separately referred to as SCP-7XXX-1 through -40) possesses an anomalous inability to be observed or sensed¹ by standard biotic organisms. Identification records/documents of SCP-7XXX instances are yet to be discovered by Foundation personnel.

SCP-7XXX collectively follows a theistic religion labeled "Mesothism." Mesothism, as stated by several SCP-7XXX instances, is predicated on the belief that discovering the residue of a divine entity will grant the explorer(s) eternal power that the deceased deity once possessed.

Followers of Mesothism (deemed Mesothists) not incorporated into SCP-7XXX are capable of viewing and/or taking visible photos of it, and conducting audible logs between instances. Evidence of SCP-7XXX, when produced by Mesothists, plainly displays SCP-7XXX's physical characteristics or other forms of human features, even to non-Mesothists.

SCP-7XXX is theorized to have been wandering North Africa for approximately 3-4 centuries. The Foundation discovered SCP-XXXX in 1988 when MTF Task Force Guard-14 ("Saharan Summertime Sunset") was locating an unrelated anomaly in the Saharan Desert. During the tracking process, G-14 personnel reported observing an immense group of camels bearing halters and leashes. However, controllers of the animals were not present. Instead, the camels were observed to walk in unison with no visible holders with an unknown force restraining them. Following this, SCP-7XXX was designated a monitored regularly

SCP-7XXX was originally considered to be a wholly imperceptible anomaly through all senses. However, while conducting a weekly inspection assessment in 1990, Senior Researcher Wallace Brunson² reported successfully recognizing SCP-7XXX's physical attributes from a distance.

Addendum 7XXX-1: Wallace Brunson Interview Log

Date: 09/19/1990
Interviewer: Dr. Levi Maynard
Interviewee: Senior Researcher Brunson

BEGIN LOG:

Dr. Maynard: Brunson, nice to see you here.

Brunson: Levi! It's been a while since I've last seen you. How's it been?

Dr. Maynard: Just the usual. They have me working down at 887 now, so I'll be here for a while.

Brunson: Perfect! You'll come to like this place, trust me.

Dr. Maynard: I sure hope so. Anyways, we both know that I'm not here to interrogate you, correct?

Brunson: I know, I know. Just the usual interview.

Dr. Maynard: Good. We just wanted you to provide a little more context to your report from a few days ago. You said you were able to actually see 7XXX?

Brunson: I was, indeed.

Dr. Maynard: That is strange, to say the least. Are you able to give me a run-through of what you did that day?

Wallace Brunson in 1994.

Brunson: Ah, yes, let me see. Forgive me, this may take some time. I have bad memory.

Dr. Maynard: No worries, take your time.

Brunson: So, it was my first day on the job for 7XXX. I believe I woke up at around 6. I had breakfast, did the usual routine yada yada yada, and came to work. They flew me over down to 7XXX's region, and until you called me down here, I was living at the facility they set up. We were doing a weekly evaluation. I happened to be tasked with simply looking at the damn camels. Turns out, I'm the only person who can see what's holding those boys together.

Dr. Maynard: What did you see from looking at them?

Brunson: Well, the locator's cameras didn't really help us all too well; we had to rely on finding the camels using the system. Which, I mean, is a nice lil' ride when you get to see the sun and the habitat. That wears off a little after you start acknowledging the amount of sweat you've released, though. But anyway, we were able to find the camels. From a distance, I was able to discern that there were just regular people there. Invisible people, according to everyone else.

Dr. Maynard: Is that all?

Brunson: Oh, no no no. I found a trend in the majority of them possessing these really long beards and these things wrapped around their arms, they looked like small little chains. The "leader", I suppose, had this book in his hand while guiding the rest of his followers west. I'm curious about this part, though. I wanna know what they're looking for.

Dr. Maynard: Okay.

Brunson: They've been circling the desert for years, Maynard. They're looking for something, I know it. There's no point in not trying. I'm willing to lead this research, but the Foundation needs to take me seriously and let me have this. I'm clearly the only person who can see these people. Without my interests, we won't have legitimate research, just "Week 94: Still invisible."

Dr. Maynard: Okay, then, Wallace. I'll bring this to the Site Director and see what he says, okay? Is there anything you need to discuss before the interview ends?

Brunson: Yes, actually. While I'm still in town, do you want to go out for lunch with me? I'm craving Chub's.³

Dr. Maynard: No-can-do. I'm on a diet.

Brunson: They have salads?

Dr. Maynard: I'm in.

Following Dr. Maynard's submission of this transcript, Brunson was assigned to SCP-7XXX's research project as the Head of Operations.

DEPICTON OF TRAIL

Addendum 7XXX-2: Depiction of SCP-7XXX's Trail

---

Date: 09/25/1990

---

On 09/25/1990, Researcher Brunson formally issued a self-produced illustration of SCP-7XXX's path across the Sahara Desert since its first documentation in 1988.

In the aforementioned illustrations, SCP-7XXX's coordinates were first documented approximately 5 miles east of Ghani Field in Libya. After various evaluations and record-kept information, SCP-7XXX displayed a continuous internal migration westward of its original recorded position.

In accordance with the first noted movement, SCP-7XXX "progressed" in circular motions across numerous regions and districts within Northern Africa. By the absolute time Brunson graphed these nomadic relocations in 1990, SCP-7XXX's whereabouts were based in eastern Mauritania.

Immediately after publishing this, Brunson scheduled an interview log with an indeterminate number of SCP-7XXX-1 instances, particularly placing emphasis upon the "leader" as one of the specimens being interviewed in his announcement. On 09/27/1990, the interview took place.⁴

Brunson: Thank you once again for accepting this interview with me. I don't intend to take up your time, sir.

SCP-7XXX-1: Do not be sorry, I understand your curiosity. You may put forward whatever.

Brunson: Alrighty, then. To begin, do you have a name that your followers refer to you as or anything of the sort?

SCP-7XXX-1 "Ibrahim"

SCP-7XXX-1: Ah, I see I have not formally introduced myself. I am Ibrahim, the preacher of Mesothism, the guide to my fellow men and women's salvation.

Brunson: Mesothism?

SCP-7XXX-1: The equidistant point between humanity and divinity. We have reached the stage of the voyage. For centuries, we've roamed this here land in search of the fallen's remains.
