Special Containment Procedures: A wide spread cover story explaining SCP-4654's anomalous effect on the weather as the result of climate change to be disseminated among the population of the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. All satellite data of SCP-4654 is to be replaced with the topography of the underlying mountain by cloud_gazer.aic. Provisional Site-49 is established near the mountain upon which SCP-4654 is located to monitor SCP-4654, and is to have three atmospheric scientists and fifteen armed guards provided by MTF Kappa-11 "Red Barons1" stationed on site at all times. If SCP-4654 is not capable of being fully contained, research into methods of neutralization of SCP-4654 is ongoing.

In the case where a "Dorothy" event manifests, the trajectory of the weather phenomena is to be predicted by Foundation meteorological programs and AI (primarily thunder_cat.aic), and civilians are to be covertly evacuated from the projected path until the storm has dissipated. Repairs of all damage are to be done using a Foundation front company specializing in disaster cleanup. Civilians are then to be returned to their homes and amnesticized. Use of existing weather modification technology to suppress "Dorothy" events is considered prohibited by the Ethics Committee due to "lack of scientific study of the long-term effects of wide-scale non-anomalous weather manipulation."

An Ostry Electro-magnetic Wave Generator is to be tuned to the 2.4-5 GHz range and coupled with a small radio telescope affixed to SCP-4654's position. The wave generator will produce an inverse wave function of the radio waves generated by SCP-4654, creating a destructive interference pattern which would nullify SCP-4654's emissions.

Description: SCP-4654 is a stationary cumulus cloud formerly hovering over ████████ Peak in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley2 (henceforth called "Mat-Su Valley") in Southcentral Alaska. The cloud is 1 km3, and extremely dense for a cloud of its size. There is a bowl-like formation within SCP-4654 lined with a layer of extremely dense water vapor. Inside the bowl-formation of SCP-4654 is an estate made completely out of the same water vapor. The estate is composed of a front- and back-yard, a one-story house, one hectare solar/wind farm, and a three hectare forest, the species of trees contained within the forest resembling those common within the valley. Drones retrieving samples have shown that while water vapor superficially resembles nonanomalous water vapor, it has the properties of substances it is mimicking3. The substance appears to observers to be composed out of "solidified cloud." When this substance is grasped by an individual their fingers sink into the substance before coming into contact with a solid core.

At sporadic points throughout the day, SCP-4654 generates radio waves in the 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz range for on average one to two hours, directed towards the nearby city of ██████. These radio waves appear to either be heavily encrypted or completely randomized, as all attempts to decipher the information has resulted in nonsensical characters.

SCP-4654-1 is a nonhostile Class VII reality bender composed of aerosolized water located within SCP-4654. SCP-4654-1 typically is in the form of a humanoid adult female. The anomaly is fluent in Ancient Greek, Norwegian, English, Dena'ina, and several unidentified languages4. SCP-4654-1 is hydrokinetic, anemokinetic, and thermokinetic, but has only been observed to be able to manipulate these qualities within the upper atmosphere thus far. Due to its aerosolized anatomy and hydrokenesis, SCP-4654-1 can control SCP-4654 and itself down to their constituent molecules, and can render them essentially invisible by refracting light through their bodies, or by simply distributing their mass throughout the atmosphere. SCP-4654-1 can utilize this ability to change its shape, size, and color. Despite possessing an aerosolized anatomy, SCP-4654-1 has a normal metabolism and require food in the form of human cuisine to function.## SCP-4654-1 can create and manipulate extreme atmospheric events in the Mat-Su Valley, such as blizzards, thunderstorms, hailstorms, large whirlwinds, and extratropical cyclones5 Storms produced by SCP-4654-1 are abnormally severe and have been recorded to be responsible for ██ deaths, along with █ billion dollars in damages since Foundation discovery.

When weather phenomena is created by SCP-4654-1, hereby classified as a "Dorothy" event, 85% of cases appears to originate from SCP-4654, moving quickly outwards into the valley in excess of 170 kph, with the other 15% manifesting in random locations throughout the valley. Although extremely lethal, "Dorothy" Events are also extremely short, and manifestations usually last on average 28 minutes to 3 hours.

Discovery: SCP-4654 was discovered after a period of several years of irregular severe weather phenomena uncommon to the area contained fully within the Mat-Su Valley. Satellite data of SCP-4654 revealed its anomalous nature, and Provisional Site-49 was established.

Interview Log:
Interviewed: SCP-4654-1

Interviewer: Dr. Robert Belwerk

Foreword: SCP-4654-1 agreed to a meeting within Provisional Site-49. Notes added to transcript were written by Dr. Belwerk at that timestamp.

<Begin Log>

Belwerk: Hello, SCP-4654-1, thank you for meeting with us today.

SCP-4654-1: Oh my pleasure! but please, just call me Omichli. Oh, it's so amazing being in one of these… what are they called? Jail cells? Oh, this is so fun!

Belwerk: Oh no, it's not a jail cell, it's an interview room. We use them to talk to people like you.

SCP-4654-1: Oh really? Who did you meet. Oh I wanna hear all about it..

Belwerk: Well, can we talk about you first? We've never seen someone like you before, so we just want to ask some questions.

SCP-4654-1 noticeably blushes, the water vapor in its cheeks tinged with red.

SCP-4654-1: So you wanted to have a talk with lil' ol' me?

SCP-4654-1 wiggles two small thunderclouds above its eyes that act as its eyebrows flirtatiously, small lightning strikes from the thunderclouds are observed.

Belwerk: Uh… sure. Something like that. We would love to know more about you.

SCP-4654-1: Ugh, where should I start? When I was a little cirrus cloud-

Belwerk: Maybe not that early?

SCP-4654-1: When I was just becoming a stratus-

Belwerk: Can we start a little bit later?

SCP-4654-1 rolls her eye-analogues.

SCP-4654-1: When I got my first assignment-

SCP-4654-1 looks at Belwerk with raised eyebrows.

Belwerk: No this is perfect, please continue.
SCP-4654-1: …So anyway, when I got my first assignment, I was so excited. It is big one, A WHOLE VALLEY TO MYSELF, eek! SCP-4654-1 let's out a squeal, fully immersed in the story. I am gonna do so great, I thought. But it's turning out a bit boring. There's so few nature spirits that like to talk around here. Have you ever tried getting words out of an oread? It's like trying to get water from a stone, which now that I think about it makes sense. Devil's Club dryads are just too thorny to hold a conversation with, so I've been relying on other things to help me cope. I mean, I had to learn a whole other language to talk with them, and they just constantly brag about how their colonies are the biggest and best in the valley, like honestly. Oh how I-

Belwerk: Ok, ok, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Getting back on track here, what are the radio waves emitting from SCP-4654 for, Omichli?6

SCP-4654-1: Gosh, I can't talk for five seconds around here can I. Huh, Radio… Waves? [SCP-4654-1 looks puzzled, but then waves its left arm dismissively, the arm slightly losing cohesion from the motion before restructuring itself.] Oh, right, my wifi.

Belwerk: Wait, Wifi? You get internet?

SCP-4654-1 giggles

SCP-4654-1: The internet is so great isn't it? all this entertainment you create is so quirky and adorable. I must've watched the Office three times over! But I get such a bad signal out here! I have called tech support so many times it, but I can't get a break. [4654-1 huffs irritably] But y'know, it's not that bad. I have the steelbooks of some of my favorite shows, so whatever. Better than being an unbound schmuck at the palace, moping around and eating comfort food.

Belwerk: Uh… yeah, I understand what you mean. You do eat, correct? That wasn't just a metaphor or something like that.

SCP-4654-1: Nah, that wasn't a metaphor, I eat human food. I can make things out of mist, but nothing I make has any substance, y'know? So I can't really just whip up a three course meal. So I sometimes go down the mountain and pick berries and mushrooms and whatnot and sell them at the farmer's market for money or keep them. That way I can eat and use the money for groceries and my Netflix subscription!

Belwerk: Net…flix…. subscription7 … Wait, how do you pay for Netflix? They don't take cash. What are the solar panels and turbines for?

SCP-4654 waves her left hand again.

SCP-4654-1: Nymphs have our ways. I can't believe you're poking into the business of a lady.

Belwerk: I mean, it's kind of my job, so I can't really stop. Anyway, we are here to try to keep your existence private. That mean's you're gonna have to change your "ways."

SCP-4654-1: I don't know… why should I take orders from you?

Belwerk: Listen Omichli, if you don't cooperate… Bad things might happen, worse than already have.

SCP-4654-1: Who are you to say tha- Wait what do you mean "worse than already have"? Is that a threat?

Belwerk: No? No! Not at all! I'm just talking about the weather that's been happening around here.

SCP-4654-1 squints its eyes at Belwerk.

SCP-4654-1: …What do you mean?

Belwerk: Well the weather… It hasn't been very nice. Huge rainstorms, windstorms, several small wildfires caused by lightning strikes. It's been horrible recently. You said you control the weather, so we were just here to help you… control it better I guess I should say.

SCP-4654-1: What do you mean? I've made the weather great. I've just took a break to catch up on… Oh…

Belwerk: So you don't make the bad weather on purpose?

SCP-4654-1: Oh no, oh nononono. NO.

SCP-4654-1 loses cohesion, becoming undefined and slumped onto the table. A sound similar to crying can be heard.

SCP-4654-1: muffled voice I didn't mean to cause the storms, I was just distracted. I was just lonely. I just wanted to help…

Belwerk: Omichli? Are you alright?

SCP-4654-1 reaches out and grabs Researcher Belwerk's sleeves. Guards rush forward to seize it but Belwerk motions them to stop.

Belwerk: Hey, it's not your fault, you just didn't know what you were doing. It's ok, we can fix it.

SCP-4654-1: ...did i hurt people?

Belwerk: Excuse me?

SCP-4654-1: Did I hurt people??

Belwerk: You're not really cleared for me to… answer. .. that.

At this point SCP-4654-1's body becomes dark gray and begins to grow, swirling mist around its body. The moisture content in the cell reads at 1%. Sound quality is minimal because of wind within chamber. Researcher Belwerk is dragged into the air by SCP-4654-1's grasp. Guards try shooting SCP-4654-1 to no avail. One camera in the cell in struck by lightning and shorts out. Thunder can be heard.

SCP-4654-1: I DON'T CARE WHAT MY CLEARANCE IS! TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!

Belwerk: OK, OK, I'll tell you, just put me down.

Wind suddenly dies down, and SCP-4654-1 returns to its normal form, slumped over the table. Researcher Belwerk is dropped onto the table.

SCP-4654-1: ...I'm so sorry… I just wanted to help…

Addendum-3: On September 19th, 2019, due to the inability to touch or move SCP-4654-1 from the interview room, SCP-4654-1 was placed in temporary containment within Provisional Site-49. The next day, an abnormally large "Dorothy" Event, codenamed Oz, manifested in the form of a thunderstorm and high winds, covering the entire Mat-Su Valley, raining approximately ██ inches of precipitate for five days, the longest recorded "Dorothy" Event to date. The Susitna River flooded, destroying seven homes and killing one civilian. Rapid lightning strikes destroyed power access for 36% of the Valley population. Multiple landslides blocked off highways and dozens of homes from access and emergency services. SCP-4654-1 was permitted to return to SCP-4654 and normal meteorological behavior resumed. Estimated costs of damage incurred is in the billions.
