EMERGENCY PRIORITY NOTICE TO ALL FOUNDATION PERSONNEL :
Effective immediately, under the recommendation of the Thaumaturgy Research Division, Ethics Committee, and under orders by the O5 council, the following database entry clearance is to be reduced to and remain at Level 2 Clearance for the protection of all Foundation assets by raising awareness and rapid recognition of SCP-5646. In the event SCP-5646 is identified in or around Foundation assets, or a "Ebony Event" warning is displayed on any updated Kant counter (signifying a sudden, sharp rise of hume levels to exactly 56.46 with no detectable variation that should occur naturally), personnel are ordered to notify STF Tau-27 as soon as possible!
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are Foundation personnel outside of STF Tau-27 and it's subordinates authorized to engage SCP-5646 in any form of aggression, up to and including self-defense! Entity demonstrates a highly focused, goal-oriented M.O. when not met with hostility, which results in considerably less collateral damage to Foundation assets than if SCP-5646 is engaged and retaliates indiscriminately.
— O5 Council
Item #: SCP-5646
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: There has been no attempt to contain SCP-5646 to date.
Taking into account eyewitness testimony of the entity's demonstrated abilities, coupled with Foundation recordings and the determinations of conducted investigations, it has been concluded that containment of SCP-5646 is likely impossible to the extent of current technological or thaumaturlogical solutions. The entity has been shown capable of rearranging it's own morphology and corporeality at will, exerting zero effort in the process; able to effectively multitask during self-rearrangement (examples include conducting a conversation with Foundation personnel, remaining ambulatory, or maintaining a high degree of focus on it's immediate surroundings). Additionally it has been observed that highly energetic, anomalous alterations in SCP-5646's surrounding environment can occur, though researchers believe these changes may not be completely voluntary on the entity's behalf as recordings suggest they can manifest differently with changes in aggression.
SCP-5646 whereabouts are currently unknown. The only reliable, Site-independent encounters have taken place at times and locations coinciding with events where the entity believes it can assimilate into the ongoing event without the need to rearrange it's morphology and remain in what researchers have concluded is SCP-5646's "Primary form" (see Addendum 5646-SGHT-1 through 5646-SGHT-4 for a comprehensive explanation of verified encounters outside of Foundation facilities).
Description: With the capacity to rearrange itself, the following information is presented in a manner consistent to what researchers refer to as the entity's "Primary form".
SCP-5646 is a female humanoid of extra-dimensional origin and race. The entity stands approximately 178cm. It's commonplace feminine features (eyes, voice, presence of breasts, delicate fingers, et cetera) exist on a pronounced masculine, muscle-defined frame (very broad shoulders, narrow pelvis, large feet and hands). It's skin pigmentation is a deep grey with violet highlights in dimly-lit environments. The entity's hair is a brilliant white hue appearing to have no coloration whatsoever and of undetermined length. Finally the shape of it's ears rise up into a point much sharper and larger than human ears, described casually by eyewitnesses as "elf ears".
Thanks to this physical disposition a visual identification of the entity is trivial, standing out among even the most diverse human crowds when the entity believes it is socially acceptable or will be dismissed as makeup or costume. SCP-5646 has demonstrated a collected ease in these situations, showing no concern about third-party perceptions of it's appearance. Foundation personnel encountering SCP-5646 in the field have reported approaching the entity in a casual, non-threatening manner resulted in a likewise, casual response which facilitated the only interview with SCP-5646 on record (see Interview Log).
As SCP-5646 is able to rearrange it's own morphology, a non-exhaustive list of known assumed forms follows to demonstrate the scope and magnitude of possibilities:
- a young, Native American girl of approximately 11 years of age
- an armed, male guard present at Site-██
- an elderly, Caucasian woman of approximately 85 years of age
- an adult Felis Domesticus (domesticated cat) with black fur
- an incorporeal, shadow-like mass roughly in the base form's physical disposition
- the entity's Primary form, but additionally possessing wings similar to Gymnogyps Californianus (California condor) with an approximate wingspan of 390cm.
SCP-5646 possesses a unique metaphysical nature. In an approximate ninety meter radius surrounding the entity there is an extremely static, reality bending effect that normalizes reality to exactly 56.46 hume on Foundation Kant counters. This effect is notable for having zero measurable deviation which is exceptionally rare in understood reality. The Thamaturgy
Research Division has theorized this unique reality stability is indicative of an extreme degree of control concerning the entity's known thaumaturlogical capabilities. It is because of this unique property the personal hume levels of SCP-5646 are currently unknown as attempted measurements also indicate a hume of 56.46, which is highly unlikely.
As previously mentioned, SCP-5646 is capable of using thaumaturgy. However, the methodology of the entity's thaumaturgy has not been previously cataloged by either the Foundation or the Global Occult Coalition according to personnel embedded in the GOC. It is highly dynamic, often times instantaneous, and manifests at potentiality that normally requires intricate and/or time-consuming rituals to complete. The unorthodox manner presents with bright spectacles of light in a variety of shapes and can be accompanied by distinct audio cues. It is believed these telltale signs prevent SCP-5646 from manifesting any thaumaturgy in a discrete manner.
Addendum:
5646.01 - Field Researcher Jeremiah Cappali, 2016/2/10
During my encounter and subsequent interview with SCP-5646 the entity demonstrated some degree of telepathy or precognition. Unless it had somehow seen me previously, she SCP-5646 knew of my involvement with the Foundation without having mentioned anything to the effect and lacking any Foundation-issued identification. Realizing this fact seemed to have been a source of amusement to SCP-5646 who smiled moments before inquiring of the fact with me in a very straight-forward manner.
The field researcher approached SCP-5646 without authorization when positively identified in a large crowd while attending the ███████████ Madi Gras celebration while on leave of duty. With consideration for the value of obtaining a voiced interview with the entity which established it's initial modus operandi, Researcher Cappali was given a light reprimand for his action and assigned additional field operations training.
Note: SCP-5646 is not to be referred to in a personal, gender-oriented manner in the future. The error in Addendum 5646.01 has been corrected.
5646.02 - STF Tau-27 (Hecatoncheires) Master-at-Arms Rikini Ledhatt, 2018/10/31
I am pleased to report engagement action from initial research into SCP-5646 by Special Task Force Tau-27 has yielded encouraging results. At 2242 hours on October 30th, 2018 STF Tau-27 encountered SCP-5646 in a ██████, Colorado residential area. Target was alone and sequestered away from potential liabilities at range falling within operational standards for preemptive engagement. STF Tau-27 personnel was able to close in on SCP-5646's position and deploy our recently developed Thaumaturlogical Suppression Field Emitter (TSFE) well within calculated effective range. SCP-5646 experienced some degree of pronounced debilitation when effected by the TSFE device, stumbling backwards from initial position and flailing both arms into mid-air in the direction of our position in a manner as to pull the field away from herself itself.
Unfortunately, even with this advance in counter-thaumaturgy the target was able to once again change it's morphology and evade capture before a complete containment attempt could be initiated. But unlike previous intelligence would suggest the target became immaterial, assuming a form like a three-dimensional shadow of itself, and thus impervious to physical munitions. Field Researchers assigned to STF Tau-27 have concluded that not only can SCP-5646 alter it's morphology it is able to alter it's corporeality as well. Containing incorporeal entities falls outside of the scope currently researched by the task force. Thus, I am requesting additional resources to broaden our scope and/or additional manpower in a joint task force with personnel better equipped and trained in the operations.
For the record, Kant counters on scene measured the predicted 56.46 hume environment around SCP-5646 with no perceivable deviation up to the moment when the target became incorporeal, at which point the Kant counters experienced a tremendous drop in hume to 13.5 for six seconds before returning to nominal levels in the given area. For that duration, all personnel on-site report a near absence of visible color in their vision as though reality was sudden made monochromatic. Video footage recorded of the incident confirm these perceptions with a calculated 93% loss of color in the visual spectrum for six seconds.
Note: Again, the Foundation does not use gender-oriented pronouns of any kind when referring to any SCP instances. The error by a junior researcher two years ago can be easily justified by a lack of experience with protocol, but not in the case of a decorated special operator. I am submitting an inquiry request with the Thaumaturgy Research Division to look for possible coercion or memetic effects associated with anyone making firsthand witness of SCP-5646. The error in Addendum 5646.02 has been corrected.
5646.03 - Senior Researcher Stephan Mathews, Thaumaturgy Research Division, 2018/11/04
In regards to O5 inquiry into SCP-5646 coercion:
As had been theorized by members of the O5, we have identified a low-intensity coercion effect existing in every Foundation personnel who has viewed SCP-5646 firsthand, similar to a hypnotic suggestion. The coercion can be best described as an infatuation with the entity, eliciting increased excitability in both the physical and metaphysical makeup of each individual upon seeing or hearing mention of SCP-5646. Due diligence led researchers to recall Field Researcher Jeremiah Cappali for testing which positively identified the coercion's presence in his mind as well, with only a very minor increase in excitability that we have found to be within expected tolerances considering all factors.
Given these results, and the absence of the coercion in individuals who have seen SCP-5646 through video recordings and research, it is the Division's recommendation to minimize direct visual contact with SCP-5646 in favor of visual contact through real-time digital display whenever possible.
Site-Independent Addendum:
5646-SGHT-1
EVENT: Field Researcher Jeremiah Cappali #1
DATE: 2016, February 10, 19:38
LOCATION: ██████, CO
[BEGIN LOG]
19:38 : SCP-5646 identified in a large gathering of costumed civilians celebrating inside of the ███████████ Bar. Entity was seen actively scanning the room with it's eyes for the purpose of passive learning of ████████ culture according to testimony (see Interview Log 5646-01).
19:44 : Cappali approaches SCP-5646 with a friendly, casual demeanor to see if any inquiries about the entity can be made. SCP-5646 complies with reciprocated casual posture. Cappali attempts to quietly turn on his cellular phone to record conversation with the entity.
20:12 : SCP-5646 suggests moving the conversation to somewhere more serene to enable clearer communication. Cappali agrees and the two relocate to an unspecific alley beyond view of most gathered in area. SCP-5646 then suddenly invokes some manner of thaumaturgy that teleports both to a nearby rooftop instantaneously. After Cappali collects himself from the apparently startled moment the impromptu interview begins.
22:03 : Interview ends with SCP-5646, who upon request from Cappali for a further demonstration of the entity's capabilities teleports the two of them to ██████████████████, which was six kilometers away from the original position on the previous rooftop.

EVENT: STF Tau-27, Initial Encounter with Entity
DATE: 2016, October 29, 23:14
LOCATION: ██████, MS
[BEGIN LOG]
07:14 : Members of MTF Zeta-9 receive "Ebony Event" on supplied Kant counters while investigating an unrelated event in the area. STF Tau-27 was immediately contacted as per protocol.
23:14 : STF Tau-27 arrives in ██████, MS in pursuit of SCP-5646 who had traveled ██ kilometers away from original visual contact position. SCP-5646 was attending a costume-only holiday movie showing at the time of location.
23:17 : As STF agent entered the seating area where SCP-5646 was said to be by theater attendants the entity displayed a sudden change of disposition and looked up and behind itself, directly at the STF agent. SCP-5646 was noted to have grimaced upon spotting the agent. The entity then rose to it's feet and started a deliberate walk towards the agent, who was said to have been taken back by the aggressive approach and fell back into the lobby alerting the rest of the task force of possible hostilities.
23:20 : After three minutes without SCP-5646 coming out of the specific theater the agent and two co-agents entered the seating area again and failed to find any trace of SCP-5646.
[END LOG]
Note: After the movie complex has closed for the evening STF Tau-27 asked the attendants to see any security footage available of the seating area. SCP-5646 was caught on security footage entering the small hallway leading from the seating area to the lobby up to where the angle of the camera did not capture. After that SCP-5646 was not seen coming or going from that hallway and is assumed to have teleported away from the area. Amnestics were administered to the complex attendants at the conclusion of the viewing.

LOCATION: Undetermined
[BEGIN LOG]
14:42 (local time): GOC operatives equipped with various assault firearms and video recording enter an undetermined tea house with Korean advertisements as seen in the anonymously submitted video to the Foundation. Speaking in Korean one of the operatives begins issuing commands for everyone to drop to a prone position on the ground and not to move from their spot at the risk of death.
14:44 : GOC operatives begin interrogating employees and guests indiscriminately, inquiring about a "Lucid Tiger" who is assumed to be a reality bender believed by the GOC to be in the tea house at the time. Dialogue between the operatives suggest they are equipped with some manner of Type Green detection as reports of "Negative." are repeated several times.
14:49 : Camera pans over a table for a third time during ongoing interrogations. The GOC operative in his frustration is apparently unaware that a young Korean woman who had previously been under one of the small tables in the tea house had at some point disappeared from view without raising any alarm.
14:51 : "Lucid Tiger" is believed to be found by the GOC operatives. The individual attempted to exit the tea house through a rear door that was being covered by GOC operatives outside. Firearms can be heard in the video, projectiles impacting against metal pots and pans in what is assumed to be the kitchen area.
14:52 : All firearm sounds abruptly cease. Camera operative heard calling out for confirmation of termination of their target with no response. Moments after the room the operative is in experiences a dramatic decrease in light levels, darkening the room. This is in stark contrast to the fact most of the ambient lighting in the given room was provided by open windows.
14:53 : The camera operative begins to sweep the room with his raised firearm and slowly retreats backwards. Nothing as such is seen in the video, but the sound of heavy thuds on the wooden floor can be heard three times. It is assumed these are the sounds of GOC co-operatives seen previously in the video expiring suddenly and dropping straight down to the ground.
14:54 : The camera operative panics and is seen breaking for the door outside. Turning what is believed to be the last corner before exiting an arm appears from off-screen. Video quality suffers for a few seconds but it appears the arm caught the operative in the throat in a "clothesline" style attack. Swiftly as the operative is down it is picked up and forcefully driven against the door frame the operative was crossing through when attacked. The video quality clears and SCP-5646 is unmistakably seen from an angle suggesting it is suspending the operative approximately one meter in the air singlehandedly.
14:55 : After staring at the camera operative for several seconds SCP-5646's facial features sharpen considerably in a otherworldly rage; so pronounced is the change that it should not be possible with the entity's normal facial bone structure. SCP-5646 is then seen speaking a couple of distinct words slowly in an unknown dialect followed by, "there are innocents in here. People who have nothing to do with your witch hunt. People who want to just live their lives. And you put them all at risk with some twisted, altruistic excuse. Didn't you?!" SCP-5646's arm that is holding the camera operative in the air flexes with effort, the muscles bulging as though they were in a relaxed state and double in size when strength is brought to bear. There is a definitive bone and cartilage crushing noise, and the camera operator collapses on the ground.
14:56 : The video feed is now an image of the doorway threshold and does not change for an hour until the remains are found by Korean police. But in the next ten minutes SCP-5646 can be heard assisting and consoling people inside the tea house in an accented but otherwise clear Korean. SCP-5646 is asked many questions and gives only vague or false answers. Upon taking it's leave the entity asks an unknown number of people to tell the authorities "it was a friend" when they asked who defended them.

EVENT: Field Researcher Jeremiah Cappali #2
DATE: 2019, January 1, 05:07
LOCATION: Foundation Site ██
[BEGIN LOG]
05:04 : Foundation Site ██ experiences a partial power grid failure affecting perimeter security systems. As expected, redundant generators on site immediately attempt to restore power to the affected areas but catastrophically fail and smoke begins to pour out of the generator housing location. A general alert is sounded Site-wide and all security personnel are mobilized to cover exposed perimeter.
05:07 : General alert brings Field Researcher Cappali out from his sleep. He leaves his bed and makes his way to the bathroom.
05:08 : Fourteen different security cameras Site-wide fail. Within security control there is a loud bang and electrical sparks rupture out of one of the database system racks. Automatic diagnosis systems quickly bring up the result as damage from a highly localized electromagnetic pulse. High alert is sounded and the Site Administrator notifies the O5 Council of the situation.
05:11 : Field Researcher Cappali is assigned to the investigation team for rapid response to the backup generators. Administration places a call to Cappali's room.
05:12 : Cappali interrupts his shower to quickly answer his phone set on his bedside table. He enters his bedroom and finds SCP-5646 standing between him and the phone. With a quick look down, back up, and what Cappali describes as a "very inappropriate smirk"
SCP-5646 gently lays a sheet of paper beside his phone. The entity then nods to Cappali and is taken under the floor in his room as though the concrete was a gentle set of hands nurturing a newborn.

To the Gentlemen Who Introduced a Stranger to Jameson,
It has been a long time since we last spoke. It was my wish to find you and leave you some thoughts I have so you can share them with whomever you deem appropriate. First, I never thanked you for the kindness you showed me that evening. I know your actions were against the Foundation rules and you were punished for it. So I both thank you, and apologize.
Secondly, as you may have guessed by this point in my letter to you that I am responsible for what is currently happening on site. I admit, this is a test. A test of my own abilities, reinforced with years of my own research, to see how easily I could enter and leave Foundation containment facilities. We will both find out soon enough how it concludes. If I manage well enough by my own judgement it is my goal to investigate Foundation entities in containment. One day, when I return home, the knowledge could prove invaluable.
Third, your Foundation clearly has extremely talented researchers as my entry into it's database is remarkably accurate. They do make one major misstep, I am not a reality bender. What capacities I have outside of "thaumaturgy" is not reality manipulation by the definition set out in either the Foundation or GOC manifests. But lets leave that a mystery, even for you Mr. Researcher.
Finally, and in full disclosure, this piece of paper is what the Foundation calls memetic. Only the first human male who touches this will see what you see. All other creatures within my ability to influence (as far as I know) will see a antagonizing message from me telling them I am getting better at this. A little animosity between the Foundation and myself will ensure a healthy relationship.
Share this if you wish. Or don't. But above all, stay healthy.
You can call me Nina.

Threat Level: Green ● |
Item #: SCP-359
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-359 is to be contained within a 100m3 hemispherical aviary made of chromed steel framing covered with heavy-duty hexagonal mesh located at Site MT-02A deep within the Bitterroot National Forest. At no point should SCP-359's view of the sky be obstructed within the aviary at the risk of a containment breach by the entity. A further 100m perimeter fence with electrocution deterence should be maintained around Site MT-02A to keep all fauna at a distance to discourage random predation instincts by SCP-359.
SCP-359 does not demonstrate an easily understood feeding routine, consuming animals introduced into the aviary as little as once every five days to as often as three times in a single night at highest current record. Size, nutritional value, time, and location of the animal's introduction does not seem to influence this behaviour. SCP-359 has demonstrated a preference for cervidae, equine, and large avians as food, though it has been recorded consuming bovine, canine, feline, and human prey. One animal selected among SCP-359's prefered prey is to be introduced into the aviary once every other day to ensure the entity is fed. Any deviation from this regime must first be cleared through MT-02A's Site Director, Dr. ██████.
For the safety of all associated peronnel working at MT-02A, the area within the perimeter wall should not be entered on foot between the times of 21:00 and 06:00 the following morning unless there is an emergency on-site. All required monitoring of SCP-359 should be done remotely using the site's security camera array during these hours. Failure to adhere to this guideline could result in random predation from SCP-359 and severe injury or death.
Description: SCP-359 appears to be a metal sculpture of a red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) with a wingspan of approximately 4.3 m, perched atop a 12 meter arch. During daylight hours (approx. 6:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. local standard time), it displays no signs of movement and does not respond to any external stimuli. However, it has been determined by the Foundation that between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. it displays the typical behaviors of an adult red-tailed hawk, apart from being nocturnal. SCP-359 is apparently capable of flight - the mechanisms through which it accomplishes this have not been determined, as its wings are too short to allow for flight.
SCP-359 was originally located just south of █████████, ████ in the United States. It first came to the Foundation's attention when local foresters began finding dead bodies of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in the area within a 1km radius of the sculpture, which looked to have been preyed upon. The white-tailed deer has no natural predators in the state of ████. Investigation officially began on [DATA EXPUNGED] when motorists on the stretch of State Route ██ that passes by SCP-359 reported that the hawk was not on top of the arch. On the same day, a local farmer reported finding the sculpture in his field, standing over the body of one of his cows, which had injuries consistent with predation by a large bird of prey. The farmer was administered a Class A Amnestic and fed the story that the cow had died of natural causes, and its body eaten by coyotes. Route ██ was closed for "repairs," and SCP-359 was transferred to its current containment site and replaced with an immobile replica.
Addendum 1: Prior to containment, no evidence existed that SCP-359 had ever attempted to prey on anything besides hoofed mammals. However, since being contained, it has attacked, killed, and eaten four D-class personnel who entered its containment structure during restricted hours. Investigation into the cause of this shift in dietary preferences is ongoing.
