Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently within an archival storage container kept in a climate controlled vault of Facility-96. All access to SCP-XXXX for means of operations or testing has been indefinitely prohibited. This status may be appealed to the Latin-American Regional Council, the Lusofonic Regional Council, and the O5 Council in the event of Operation Alicanto's reinstitution. In the event of SCP-XXXX's misplacement, robbery, disappearance, or destruction, all regional councils are to be alerted, and preparations are to begin for a SK-Class Dominance Shift Scenario.

A page of SCP-XXXX containing text

Description: SCP-XXXX is a leather bound illustrated manuscript hand-written in an unknown language. On its first page is written "Codex Onoma". Its parchment has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century. Approximately 550 of the total 700 pages of the manuscript contain text, illustrations, or diagrams, with the rest being blank. Any attempt to write, draw, or otherwise create marks on the pages result in no measurable change on the its surface. Liquids poured or brushed onto the pages slide off, leaving no stain. Despite this, the manuscript does appear to be susceptible to damage and decay. Its pages can be torn, burned, or removed entirely from the whole. It has also suffered from decomposition consistent with its calculated age.

OPERATION ALICANTO - WUSA PROCEDURE GUIDE

Submit Credentials - Level 4/Alicanto Clearance Required

Operation Alicanto relevant areas

On August 5th 1969, the use of SCP-XXXX in Operation Alicanto was approved. As such, the O5 Council allowed the transfer of the item to the Latin-American Regional Council. This operation's mission statement was to locate and recontain a faction of anomalous entities (temporarily designated SCP-Alicanto) which had escaped containment and taken refuge within the Southern Cone territories. This required an unpresented cooperation and information sharing effort between the O5, LAR, and LR Councils. Due to SCP-Alicanto's ability to go undetected within the citizenry of these regions, cooperation was also required with the local governments, which justified the necessary raids, arrests, and interrogations as the persecution of political destabilizers. The O5 Council additionally supplied agents to coordinate the local facilities and train their operatives to identify SCP-Alicanto instances within the population of their respective regions, as well as how to effectively contain them. The following document describes SCP-XXXX's role in this process, and the necessary protocol's to follow for its use.

Wusa Procedure

The following are instructions for the identification and containtment of SCP-Alicanto instances.

Coin Test

---

This examination determines the procedures to be used on an apprehended suspect. It consists of forcefully placing a small iron coin into the palm or onto the forehead of the subject. The subject is then categorized into one of the three designations depending on the result.

• Green-Positive: Hives breaking out immediately in area of contact, quickly spreading to the rest of the body.
• Blue-Positive: A small rash emerging in area of contact after approximately 5 minutes.
• Negative: No reaction.

Negative Subjects:

A suspect who has given a Negative result from the coin test is to be administered Class-A amnestics then turned over to local law enforcement as a political prisoner.

Blue-Positive Subjects:

A suspect who has given a Blue-Positive result has most likely been in direct contact with an SCP-Alicanto instance. They are to be given a D-Class designation and transported to the nearest facility. There they are to be interrogated of their knowledge concerning the status and locations of SCP-Alicanto instances.

Green-Positive Subjects:

A suspect who has given a Green-Positive result is to be immediately transported to the nearest facility and placed in a standard humanoid containment cell. They are then to be reported as a confirmed SCP-Alicanto instance to Operation Alicanto Command. When convenient, Agents shall be dispatched to the facility carrying SCP-XXXX. Upon arrival, SCP-XXXX is to be introduced into the proximity of the SCP-Alicanto instance. Once it is within 3 meters of the instance, SCP-XXXX shall become activated. SCP-XXXX is to be opened to any page with available space for text. A small sample of blood is to be extracted from the SCP-Alicanto instance and dripped onto the selected page. The blood will then produce about 15 characters worth of text. Upon this additional text being added, the SCP-Alicanto instance will undergo a change in its physical appearance. This change in form will be distinct for each individual instance, however the transformation typically involves anthropomorphic characteristics. Reports additionally indicate that the process is painful in all cases. Once this change is complete, the instance will then be considered incapacitated. At this point, they are to be interrogated of their knowledge concerning the status and locations of other SCP-Alicanto instances. Once the knowledge of the instance is considered to be exhausted, it shall be considered an Orange-Positive Subject.

Orange-Positive Subjects:

Upon being designated as an Orange-Positive Subject, the SCP-Alicanto instance is to be restrained. SCP-XXXX is then to be brought into proximity of the instance and opened to page 243. A small amount of blood is to be extracted from the instance and dripped onto page 243. The instance will then spontaneously combust. In approximately 10 seconds, the instance will burn down to a small pile of white ash. At this moment, the instance is considered contained.

O5 - LARC Conference 12.21.1985

Submit Credentials - Level 4/Alicanto Clearance Required

A conference was organized between the Latin-American Regional Council and a representative of the O5 council shortly after plans to conclude Operation Alicanto were submitted. The stated purpose of this conference was to resolved contested policies which were carried out during the operation. In this conversation, information not previously shared by the O5 Council concerning SCP-XXXX's anomalous nature was revealed.

Attendees: LAR Council Members 1-15, 17-30, 36, 37; O5-2

Location: Facility-57

Foreword This conference was called at the request of the LAR Council to clarify the necessity of procedures implemented during the now concluded Operation Alicanto.

Shifting papers.

Councilman 2: And this would bring us to item 06: "The containment procedures of SCP-XXXX following the conclusion of Operation Alicanto."

O5-2: Yes, I was intrigued by this when going over the itinerary. I'd like to make it clear that the containment of SCP-XXXX is no longer any concern of yours. Once it has been returned, we will once again place it within-

Councilman 2: Ah, you've just struck on what is our point. It is the position of this council that we do not currently feel comfortable in parting with the Codex without further clarification on what it has been used for.

O5-2: Mmm…. this is highly irregular.

Councilman 10: With respect, this entire operation ha been highly irregular. I'd like to echo Councilman 7's concerns from earlier. This has felt more and more like an exercise in extermination rather than containment.

O5-2: And I have repeatedly assured you that none of the entities have been terminated by result of the Wusa Procedure. Terminations as a result of your own carelessness during it, however, is no fault of ours.

Councilman 10: Are we to simply to take your word on this? They've been reduced to nothing but ashes. If this is not termination then what is? What exactly did we do to them?

Councilman 2: What we ask for is transparency. Information covering what SCP-XXXX is fully capable of has still not been offered, despite our frequent requests. The procedures you have us preform with it contradicts what little you have told us.

O5-2: Well such details were unnecessary. The operation has been completed to satisfaction, hasn't it? Is that not enough?

Councilman 1: Is this the O5's new policy then? Is the Foundation to use the methods of the GOC?

O5-2 sighs. There is a pause.

O5-2: I understand how this may appear. I understand how preforming the procedure may have felt. To put you at ease, here's what I can tell you… Yes, SCP-XXXX is a weapon. One capable of eradicating them, if we were to attempt that. However, we've long since left such tactics behind. We have taught you how to utilize it humanely, as humanely as possible anyways. It takes from them, but it does not kill them. Now, further specifics are highly delicate and not suitable for this conference. I invite you to send a representative of your own to Site-01 if you are to learn them. We will not have this information on file.

Councilman 2: Why?

O5-2: Because further access to such information could lead to further breaches. It would be unfortunate if this lengthy attempt at re-containment was all for naught. We have returned stability to this region, and I believe we should appreciate that.

Councilman 2: Is that what you call these last few decades? The torturing, the civilian death. This is stability?

O5-2: These creatures can cause no end of strife if left unattended. We had to prevent further infestation.

Councilman 10: How? How did you prevent it? What exactly did you have us do, if not kill them? We have earned to know that, at the very least.

O5-2: We sent them home. Those that refused to go there themselves.

Councilman 1: Interesting that you would mention home. This will be further discussed later, but we've finally been able to really through our records concerning many of the entities we've processed. A staggering majority of these creatures, as you call them, were later confirmed to have been local anomalies, not refugees.

O5-2: You would not fault us for being thorough.
