Item #: SCP-001-JP
Object Class:
Thaumiel (Provisional)
Artistic interpretation of SCP-001-JP, located in a facility connected to AWCY
How to process: The Foundation is currently forced to use SCP-001-JP. No personnel are to be notified with the exception of those assigned to Site-178 as well as security clearance 4 or above, or personnel belonging to the extraterrestrial branch. Containment of the objects concerned would be impossible at any larger a scale.
A single Arnold-class overheard projection system is installed in a secret facility on Site-178. In order to gain entrance to this facility, a written report as well as proper clearance must be presented.
In the event that a civilian becomes aware of SCP-001-JP's existence, conduct memory processing, and erase all documented accounts concerning the related objects.
Overview: SCP-001-JP is an entity with an internal makeup capable of holding an entire universe, and physical characteristics indicative of the suborder Mysticeti, which is theorized to be the ur-anomaly. According to observation, aside from the predatory actions described below, SCP-001-JP exists with its eyelids closed in an ongoing dormant state. Presently, the realm of the cosmos in which the Foundation exists is situated within the entity's esophagogastric tube.
The space in which SCP-001-JP exists (defined as Ultra Space), due to highly-condensed memetic energy, allows for the formation1 and subsequent diffusion of various concepts in a never-ending cycle of simultaneous death and rebirth. The density of memetic energy within Ultra Space is estimated to be 7000 times denser than typical space; in the event that a human came into contact with such a level of memetic energy, it is predicted that they would suffer an immediate failure of brain function, resulting in death. However, in the absence of SCP 001-JP's predatory behaviors once every several months towards the objects in Ultra Space, study of memetics would be nonexistent. For that reason, SCP-001-JP has been provisionally classified as Thaumiel.
During SCP-001-JP's periods of dormancy, it emits a series of utterances in an irregular, repeating pattern. However, they are only observable once replicated with the sounds of the current world, so the true meaning of the act remains unclear.
Sample of the above-mentioned frequency pattern. It bears resemblance to whale "song" frequencies.
Details of Discovery: When ███████ started appearing in 1952, the unidentified frequencies observed whenever everything in a ████ trillion light year radius █████ sparked an investigation by the extraterrestrial branch, leading to evidence suggesting the existence of SCP-001-JP. When a staff member from within the same branch, Doctor Kirikawa, who specialized in strange biological phenomena as they relate to outer space, began research on the frequencies, he discovered that several of the sounds perfectly matched recordings from the record attached to the Voyager project. This has been considered the genesis of investigation team 001.
As a result of the investigation team's work, as well as information from captured AWCY member Pol-009 Codename: Anaspidea, the Foundation was able to procure knowledge confirming the existence of SCP 001-JP. Initially, the information given by Anaspidea was dismissed as a fabrication, but now the interrogation by the supervising researcher is valued as crucial intel regarding SCP-001-JP's existence. Below is an interview conducted by Doctor Kirikawa on a separate occasion, after the study was completed.
December 5, 2002
[REDACTED]
Doctor Kirikawa:
Let me get this straight. You're saying that outside of the known universe, there lives a giant whale?
Anaspidea
I've been saying it for 50 years.
Doctor Kirikawa:
We simply cannot believe you. Do you have any hard proof?
Anaspidea
I'm sure you've got the tech to set up an observation system like the one we've got at our facility. That's my exact area of research too, so don't be ashamed to ask me for help.
Doctor Kirikawa:
That wouldn't give us an immediate confirmation.
Anaspidea
Well it doesn't matter either way. As long as we leave it as is, nothing uncool will happen as far as we're concerned. Well, for you guys it might be hard to accept some things.
Doctor Kirikawa:
Hard to accept?
Anaspidea
The arbitrary destruction of the world.
Doctor Kirikawa:
Elaborate.
Anaspidea
First of all, though this is picky, we affectionately call it Ca Ong. Second, it's nothing as juvenile as a whale. Is it a higher life-form? Some divine presence? No, it existed long, long before those notions.
Anaspidea
We wanted ideas. That's why we turned our attention beyond space. We could feel the limitations pressing down on this space, so we observed beyond it. And there, our wildest imaginations were met, countless ideas of unprecedented coolness were enshrined there. In Ca Ong.
Anaspidea
Shortly after we found it, Ca Ong started consuming ideas. With an appetite as huge as you'd expect. Seeing it devour idea after wonderful idea made us all tremble with excitement. Except, we were only able to experience the ideas that spilled out from its lips. It was so uncool.
Doctor Kirikawa:
Uncool? Why?
Anaspidea
The ideas that escape Ca Ong's voracious hunger are honestly not that interesting. A statue that just breaks your neck, a reptile that does nothing but live, a being that merely appears to be omnipotent through trickery. Those things are completely boring.
Anaspidea
However, some of the ideas that Ca Ong preys upon are truly spectacular. A statue that only breaks your neck when you take your eyes off of it. An immortal reptile that is also unmanageably violent, and a truly omnipotent figure. Although they are a hair's breadth away from Ca Ong's rejected ideas, there is an undeniable uniqueness and coolness to them.
Doctor Kirikawa:
That's just coincidental, is it not? Whales don't consciously select their food. And even if it did, who knows what it looks for?
Anaspidea
The answer to that is obvious. Anybody would seek out the superior ideas.
Anaspidea
Ideas are everywhere, and they'll continue to exist. What we want is to pick out the coolest ones, and that fact ain't gonna change. That includes our desire for what's beyond space.
Anaspidea
So? Here's my question. Do you think we can get even cooler?
Doctor Kirikawa:
You think there's some sort of point to being cool?
Anaspidea
Of course there is. Weren't you listening? Superior ideas rule. What do we do when we find an idea that's better than the one we have? Simple. Discard the original.
Anaspidea
Doctor, we're in the belly of the beast. Don't forget that. What it comes down to is, we are the energy needed for Ca Ong's feeding. That's all.
Anaspidea
Which is why we keep asking, "Are We Cool Yet?" Everything else is meaningless.

The wing of the facility within Site-178 containing the Arnold-class overheard projection system
Due to acquisition of Pol-009 Codename: Anaspidea, formerly Doctor Arnold Raven, the Foundation developed several means by which SCP-001-JP can be reliably observed. Both the Arnold-class overhead projection system itself, and the device inside. These are used mainly for observation of SCP-001-JP, as well as searching for additional objects and similar functions, and made huge waves in the way research is carried out at the Foundation. Presently, the Arnold-class overhead projection system is still used for observation of SCP-001-JP at the facility on Site-178.
Addendum: When SCP-001-JP feeds, anomalous items observed from Ultra Space are consequently discovered in the real world and become simultaneously altered. This has been confirmed via numerous tests. Below is a list of such items.
| Before alteration | After alteration |
| A headless corpse possessing powerful reality-warping abilities. | A bonobo (Pan paniscus), formerly possessing powerful reality-warping abilities. The unfortunate fate of a reality-bender who replaced their own body with a bonobo. |
| A cicada that induces sexual activity towards women. If the affected individual has intercourse, the woman will become pregnant without fail, although the child will continue to grow within the uterus for upwards of a year. | A cicada that induces sexual activity towards women. If the affected individual has intercourse, the woman will become pregnant without fail. Additionally, the erectile tissue of the male sex partner will simultaneously transform into the same cicada. |
| An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) with the recorded voice of Toda Keiko. It plays a specific rhythm to assist in timing the pressure one should apply to the sternum. For the duration of the tune played by the AED, the target of the defibrillation's body ceases all deterioration until the song ends, at which point they suffer a myocardial rupture and die. Furthermore, those in the surrounding area experience a strong feeling of elation, singing and clapping their hands in time with the music. | An Automated External Defibrilator (AED) with multiple songs recorded. It plays a rhythm to assist in timing the pressure one should apply to the sternum. For the duration of the tune played by the AED, the target of the defibrillation's body ceases all deterioration until the song ends, at which point they suffer a myocardial rupture and die. Furthermore, those in the surrounding area experience a strong feeling of elation, singing and clapping their hands in time with the music. The current trial is estimated to be completed by 11/05/2656. |
| Cushions that move on their own when not observed by humans. As the cushions in question are of various make and appearance, recovering all of them is troublesome. Being comprised of deformed and mentally-handicapped newborns, they are theorized to retain a sense of self-awareness. | Cushions that move on their own when not observed by humans. From experiments performed with D class personnel, as well as documentation retrieved from sites where specimens were discovered, they are confirmed to consist of deformed and mentally-handicapped newborns. The containment procedures and object class have been changed accordingly. |
| A young-adult novel of unknown origin. Any writings in the vicinity will be transformed into a young-adult homage to the original work. Additionally, recalling the contents of the original document becomes impossible. The object itself is immune to outside influence. | A space for novels and protagonists. Even in the stories that are allowed to finish, the monster always suffers, and the girl always slays it easily. |
The existence of written reports within our fundamental universe of the unaltered anomalies prior to discovery, as well as the manner by which they are then altered, is currently under investigation.

This is not our intention.
This is not the intention of a superior memetic power.
This is nobody's intention.
Merely fighting against true evil is cliched.
Merely using beneficial objects for good is monotonous.
Merely creating anomalous objects amounts to nothing.
That is why we secure.
That is why we contain.
That is why we protect.
Our world is in constant variation.
Our foundation is in constant variation.
Indeed, we are no different than those altered ideas.
For that reason, I won't say to secure all, contain all, and protect all.
We are constantly innovating.
Such that I am not filtered out from the plethora of ideas, I make the conscious decision to exist.
The same goes for everyone.
If you are reading this, it's time to choose.
