SCP-XXXX "One last song to carry on"
Object Class: Neutralized (Formally Thaumiel)
Special Containment Procedures:
Neutralized before containment, no procedures needed.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is statue of unknown origins, resembling a winged humanoid with a spear made of gold running through it. SCP-XXXXs true characteristics emerge in the event a threat rises that will cause an end to the world. At the time of this writing, it has already activated and perished. These logs are all that remain, and once this is compiled and locked away in the database, I will forget it ever existed.
Report Log: Friday, 21st, 2011
Agent Maxwell
11:43AM
This is Agent James Maxwell, it's late morning- nearly noon actually. The exact time is 11:43AM. No word back from Agent Landers, he needs to come on. I'm waiting for breakfast and he said he'd be back an hour ago
Reports indicate it was seen for nearly 50 kilometers all around with the description being "An angel with golden wings and surrounded by rings of light". At this point it had begun to sing. Reports on the song itself have been destroyed on O5 order. But one report remains of O5-X.
"…It's like I've heard it all my life… but I've never heard it before. Dear god, I know it now, it was all around us but we couldn't have known, we couldn't have known the truth even though we already do! We already do." (At this point, O5-X began to state information that has been deemed to be dangerous to humanity. The rest of the transcript has been destroyed.)
The song sang by SCP-XXXX has the power to nullify the effects of any intended target. But according to Personnel of Extratemporal Site [Redacted], SCP-XXXX vanished as soon as the song was completed and the process to reverse the timeline was completed.

Request for Specialized Personnel on the SCP-610 team |
Director,
I've heard about these new anomalous personnel the Foundation is putting around and I think having one on the 610 front could change the game for us. As you know conventional weapons don't do anything to this thing.
As director of the project, I'd like to request us to have one of these "Specialists" people are going on about.

RE: Request for Specialized Personnel on the SCP-610 team |
| Message |
Director Renault,
We in the Ethics Department thank you and your team for your selfless bravery in the face of the 610 menace. At first, we had voted to not send a Specialist, but one of them heard through their Commander and volunteered for the position. And to be clear, these aren't simply "Anomalous Persons" to be specific these are Reality Altering Personnel or RAPs.
These personnel are not the "Bixbys" that field teams are apt to dealing with, these are people who have dedicated their lives to preserving the world's stability and giving their power to the Foundation to direct at threats. The Foundation has in turn given their appointment over to the Ethics Department while we are still working out the Social and Ethical side of their employment.
I apologize for my lecture, I simply wanted to make sure you are well educated before I sent one of these persons out there. The RAP you will be receiving is named Mitzy. She will not go by a last name and most of the time answers to "Firefox" — a name given to her by her MTF team.
If you consent to having her you must follow a set of Ethics Guidelines to interacting with RAPs which I will outline for you here.
Firstly, these persons were once in containment, many RAPs were also once on the Termination Rolls. Joking about containing them, terminating them, or harming them is strictly forbidden. Along with that do not try and give them designations or find their old ones. These persons would like to live this new life with confidence and being constantly reminded of their past and imprisonment would only harm the already difficult process of adapting to life in the Foundation.
Second, RAPs like the one you are being loaned are considered by the Foundation to be Vital Personnel. Do not put yours in needless danger. They are not monsters you send out to fight for you, they are not body shields.
Lastly, RAPs and all Anomalous personnel go through a 4 year apprentice period where they work under a superior to be trained and acclimated to life working for the Foundation. Mitzy is still in her second but has shown great potential in her MTF. While she is being allowed to operate apart from her Commander, she will be your responsibility. You are to make sure she is in good health and morale. Abuse or Neglect will result in severe disciplinary measures.
Do you agree on these guidelines? Read them carefully, I shouldn't hear that your team has neglected to follow basic guidelines. |

| Wow, I didn't know we were allowing those to serve us. I'll make sure to watch out for them, I watch out for all my team and thank you for the help getting someone out here to us. It feels like the Foundation has slacked back to simply supplying us rather than helping to change the fight here. We can't wait to receive them, finally we can get some headway on roasting this thing. |
- 6 Weeks Later -
The chamber of the cave had begun to clear of smoke as a team of four figures in hazard protection gear entered. The lead carried a lit flare, held out in front of them, the last three heading up the rear with flame guns. The smoke seemed to part and swirl around them but never actually got close, only the light coming from inside their visors revealed a invisible shield emanating from the lead to cover the rest of the party.
"Damn, I never thought we'd be able to clear this deep." A man says from the back.
"Me either, the Foundation should have sent you sooner, Firefox." Another laughed, patting the lead on the shoulder. "If you're tired, we can head back now. The report on this will take a while and I need you to stay as strong as you can, this is-" The man went silent as the lead held up a open hand.
A few seconds pass in silence as the lead looked around before abruptly waving the flare, sending a ball of flame above them to hit a hidden infected above them, revealing several more.
"FIRE!" The lead barked and the men didn't hesitate, turning their flame guns up and releasing their own flames. One of the burning infected dropped from overhead, causing a sound of cracking glass as it impacted with the shield around the team.
"We need to get out of here!!" The lead shouted as the fire from the flame guns began to swirl around them in a protective vortex. "They're bringing in their reinforcements!"
"Right, everyone stay calm a-" The man behind her began but a scream cut him off as one of his comrades chest exploded, a bony point puncturing through the front of his suit and the man was ripped out of the vortex.
"GO! GO! GO!" The lead pushed the last two and they worked their way out of the cavern and onto the transport cart. The flaming vortex began shooting out orbs of flame, causing roars as they impacted with the infected.
The way out was still clear but more of the fleshy monsters came crawling out of the walls to be downed as the lead lit two more flares and began throwing gouts of fire out from the transport to hit them. After what felt like an eternity in hell, the team boarded the lift and emerged from the hole to the murky sky.
