The nun with a motherfucking gun: Thousand mile island dressing.
Freud: !
Freud: Oh look who's poking holes in our network.
> It's command's own fault for setting us up on this pos failed experiment from last century.
Freud: That's the cost of security (ha) my friend. You'd rather our stuff just floating around on SCIPNET?
> Ask me again when I'm suicidal. I just think we deserve a little bit more than copy/pasting code from the folder marked "things that don't work."
Freud: "Deserve" coming from the guy who singlehandedly fucked up SO HARD our immortal god-kings decided that they had to make a whole god damned DEPARTMENT to replace us.
> I thought you liked archival duty.
Freud: ffs
The nun with a motherfucking gun: Speaking of network security, where even are you?
> If I told you, I'd have to kill you.
The nun with a motherfucking gun: I'll make sure to look out for a MTF swinging in through the window.
> Wherever I am, the internet is still good enough that I can't pretend emails aren't arriving.
> I heard they're going to scuttle XXXX.
Freud: Good times…
The nun with a motherfucking gun: You think that has something to do with the SpaceX announcement?
Freud: No shit Sherlock.
Freud: Personally, I still think there's a beautiful elegance to the soundstage approach.
The nun with a motherfucking gun: Don't give them any ideas.
> In the field here guys. Not much time to check spacenews.blog.
Freud: Eh, later.
Freud: So like a good little boy scout you're logging on to prepare a report?
> If I know anything, it's to always anticipate pointless bureaucratic formalities.
Freud: True dat.
The nun with a motherfucking gun: I'll add the latest trend to the file for you in a sec.
> I'd appreciate the actual report, not another password-protected portal please.
The nun with a motherfucking gun: You're going to get me terminated, you know that?
> I should get started.
The nun with a motherfucking gun: See you at the hearing then, I guess.
> Adios, all.
> um
> It's not closing again.
Freud: Right, kicking.

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. SCP-XXXX is the existence of SCP-XXXX.

NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

WARNING! SCP-XXXX is an Ouroboros-class anomaly. Any interaction with this file may result in a CK-class end-of-the-world scenario. DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT EXPLICIT AUTHORIZATION.
SCP-XXXX is no longer active, and (SCP-XXXX-β) is pending reclassification to Thaumiel.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Pending Ouroboros Thaumiel (Pending)

Special Containment Procedures:

+ View Archived Containment Procedures 2003-██-██ (Unofficial)

Pending input from an appropriate Foundation authority,¹ all information regarding SCP-XXXX² is to remain in the sole possession of Junior Researcher Chase Tollman, B-43571, Office of Celestial Anomalies, in an attempt to mitigate the risk of a CK-class (reality restructuring) end-of-the-world scenario. In furtherance of this goal, Researcher Tollman has barricaded himself inside the auxiliary Operations Command Center (OOC(a)) of Research Sector-15, and, via protocol BLEEDING EARS,³ has successfully compromised all records of SCP-XXXX outside of his immediate possession. Researcher Tollman has decided on this course of action based on information extrapolated from the "What to do when your actions are predetermined" training seminar, and is aiming to limit SCP-XXXX's disruption of the timeline. As to the Mobile Task Force undeniably scrambled against him, Research Tollman acknowledges their authority, insofar as they use it to contact the "appropriate Foundation authority" mentioned above.

+ View Current Containment Procedures

Until such time that SCP-XXXX-A has been fulfilled (SCP-XXXX-Ω), all SCP-XXXX-Prime operations are to be managed by the RAISA Temporal Affairs Task Force in order to ensure that SCP-XXXX-A is adhered to. The failure of this to occur will result in a CK-class end-of-the-world scenario.

Images of Ceres by civilian observatories or future space missions are to be doctored.

SCP-XXXX-A is no longer ongoing (SCP-XXXX-Ω). Pending reclassification, the SCP-XXXX slot will be assigned to SCP-XXXX-β and records of SCP-XXXX, -A, -Ω, and -Prime are to exist only on secure RAISA Temporal Affairs Task Force archival servers for paradoxical reasons.

Description:

+ View Archived Description 2003-██-██ (Unofficial)

SCP-XXXX is a signal appearing to come from the direction of the minor planet Ceres,⁴ on Foundation frequencies and containing a message encrypted using current Foundation schemes. The signal identifies itself a message sent back in time by the Foundation at some point in the future. Both the circumstances and content of the message heavily involve Researcher Tollman.

+ View Current Description

SCP-XXXX-A is an active causal loop, referred to as "Piazzi" by the RAISA Temporal Affairs Task Force. The fulfillment of Piazzi, necessary to preserve the current timeline, is contingent on the completion of the SCP-XXXX-Prime project in line with the sequence of events established by SCP-XXXX-β (SCP-XXXX-A).

SCP-XXXX-β is a radio telescope located on Ceres, ostensibly intended to assist the Foundation in the search⁵ for extraterrestrial intelligence.

Addendum: [Optional additional paragraphs]

Footnotes

1. The existence of which is currently unknown to Researcher Tollman.

2. Preliminary designation, as determined by current availability of SCP-XXXX slot in SCiPNET database.

3. Introduced by Project Heimdall, BLEEDING EARS is integrated into all Foundation communication networks worldwide. While originally intended for Foundation SETI operations as a failsafe against hostile A.I. or memetic life, it has been expanded to include mass terrestrial reception of cognitohazardous agents.

4. The largest object in the asteroid belt, lying between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
