Description: SCP-XXXX, commonly referred to as ‘Skyquakes’ by the general public, are a series of extremely loud sounds occurring in the Magic Valley region of Idaho, USA.
These sounds are usually described as very similar to many different explosive weapons/artillery in current, or former, use by various militaries in the past and present. These weapons include (but are not limited to), medieval style canons, different mortars (heavy, infantry, self-propelled), different bombs (compressed gas, low explosive, high explosive), different field artillery, anti-tank rifles (sometimes written as anti-material rifles), fireworks, howitzers, tank guns, anti-tank guns (self-propelled and other), anti-aircraft guns (self-propelled and other), autocannons, coastal artillery, rocket artillery, recoilless rifles, and possibly others.
The cause of the sounds is still currently unknown.
Special Containment Procedures: Containment of the anomaly is still beyond the foundation’s ability, with many theorized solutions being proven inadequate and unreliable.
Currently the only known option we have is to keep containment in the hands of the native population, known as the Shoshone-Bannock Native Americans. This group, and their practices, seem to directly correlate in the appearance and disappearance of instances of SCP-XXXX.
The group’s containment procedures can be described in the following order
1. Group applies body makeup, with the women wearing red and white, men wearing black and blue, and children wearing a combination of the colors.
2. Group begins to chant, with men starting it off, women following after, and children coming in soon after that.
3. Group then appears to perform a traditional native american round dance, changing their chants to a song, in the order in which the chant was started, men, then women, then children.
4. After approximately 8 minutes the round dance is dismantled and the group shifts to sitting on their knees, starting a prayer in the process. Not much of the prayer is intelligible, but some recurring phrases and words consist of: ‘Mukua sikoax nyhwyh utu,’ ‘epwee mukua,’ ‘utu gai mukua.’ These prayers continue between 23 minutes and 17 seconds to 9 hours, 58 minutes, and 8 seconds. Researchers note that the length of the prayers directly correlate with the amount of time which had passed between then and the last session.
5. Chief stops prayers after the necessary amount of time has passed.
6. Sounds ceased to occur after the procedures.
(OOC) I am planning on adding interview logs with the native population responsible for the containment of the SCP, I would just like to receive feedback on what I have so far.
