Island of Worship

Item #: SCP-349

Object Class: Euclid Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures: A surveillance and research site is currently located underground within SCP-349, hidden from the indigenous population. The site is to be always staffed with thirty (30) research personnel and thirty (30) security personnel. SCP-349's surroundings are to be patrolled by five (5) to ten (10) Foundation guard boats twenty-four hours a day depending on SCP-349-2 activity with no less than three (3) persons per boat. Manifestations from SCP-349-2 are to be immediately reported to Site Command and one (1) person must be fed to SCP-349's volcano in order to contain SCP-349-2. Following Event 349-GAMMA, no Special Containment Procedures apply to SCP-349 (see Event Log 349-GAMMA).

Description: (Description remains unmodified for archival purposes.) SCP-349 is a tropical island roughly 5km x 5km in size located in the Pacific Ocean at coordinates -██.████N, -███.████E. Its most notorious features are a volcano and a local indigenous population, denominated by on-site staff as "Worshippers", and hereon referenced to as SCP-349-1. SCP-349-1 consists of over 200 people, including children and elders. SCP-349-1 presents no anomalous properties by itself. SCP-349-1's indigenous language has been almost fully translated, and nearly lucid conversations can be held between trained Foundation interviewers and SCP-394-1 subjects (see Interview Log 349-1). SCP-349-1-1 appears to be the tribe's leader, being a man of 93 years of age according to tissue samples willingly provided by the subject. SCP-349-1 is located in a single large village within the island's north shore and day-to-day activity has been observed for a week and recorded (see Addendum 349-A).

Notoriously, SCP-349-1 subjects have been observed to worship an entity they call "King God" (roughly translated) at 1200 hours every day before eating. The entity is said to reside within the island's volcano and demand "human offerings" every now and then. When not given offerings, the volcano will stir but never erupt; instead, smoke will rise from it and take on five distinct humanoid forms (SCP-349-2-A through SCP-349-2-E), which will begin terrorizing and attacking indigenous population in an attempt to subdue them. All attempts to destroy SCP-349-2 were futile; the only known way to get rid of SCP-349-2 is to provide a living human offering directly to the volcano. While SCP-349-2 has similar properties to real charcoal smoke, and as such cannot be "destroyed", all of its instances have been observed attempting to choke-hold human victims together; upon success, they toss the choking victim into the volcano, and then disappear. SCP-349-2 seems to only be interested in attacking the indigenous population, as no Foundation personnel to this day has been recorded to have been attacked by it. Staff has attempted to contain an instance of SCP-349-2, and while containment procedures were successful, subject dissipated into the air upon appeasing of the volcano. Whispers can be faintly heard when being attacked by one or multiple instances of SCP-349-2.

Interview Log(s) 349-1
What follows is a series of three interviews conducted by on-site interview director Dr. Amanda Langdon with SCP-349-1-1 (elderly man, 93y/o, apparent leader), SCP-349-1-197 (young boy, 10y/o) and SCP-349-1-89 (young woman, 30y/o, mother of SCP-349-1-197), respectively. Interviews are translated for convenience. Undiscovered words are left untranslated.

Dr. Langdon: Alright. (Clears throat) Hello, sir. Can you hear me?
SCP-349-1-1: Quite clearly. How are we doing this evening?
Dr. Langdon: Well, sir, I'm feeling quite well, and I hope you are too. Now, you are here so you can tell us more about you and your island. We do not intend on taking over and muddying your culture, we are merely here to research. Is that understood?
SCP-349-1-1: While your technology is far beyond our own, we pretend on showing nothing but peace and contempt on your settling down here.
Dr. Langdon: Your little tribe does seem pretty peaceful. Would you mind telling me more about it?
SCP-349-1-1: You see, our people have been here for over sixty thousand years, following our traditions and telling our stories. Year after year carrying through the duties of sacrifice. Though saddening, they are necessary.
Dr. Langdon: Mhm, you're right. (Flipping pages) What about your gods? What do they give you in return?
SCP-349-1-1: Not gods, dear mistress, but a singular God. The one true King God demands offerings in return for bountiful harvest and our security. We have maintained Him fed for all these millennia, yet in recent days He seems hungrier than ever. I am not sure we will ever have enough people to keep Him fed in the future. We might have to start handing over children! (Nervously chuckling)
Dr. Langdon: I see. Do you know about the smoke creatures that emerge from the volcano?
SCP-349-1-1: Ah, yes, His Conductors. They come to claim the offering one way or another, as They can't be fought against. If an offering is refused, They come to get it Themselves. It sounds terrible, I know, but it's all for a good cause. You do not want Him angry. Kemno ivlis ito Kemno Esmepleva. (untranslatable, overheard being said by other tribe members, seems to be a local saying)
Dr. Langdon: (Writing things down) Mhm, yeah. No offense, sir, but your God seems a bit easily angered. Do you not know any other offerings to give Him?
SCP-349-1-1: I understand how you would think of it like that. But do not be negative; he supplies us with our food and our security. How else do you think we have stayed intact until you came along? We have never found any other alternative offering. Or we might have, and it did not survive the years. Either ways we are fine the way we are now.
Dr. Langdon: Pardon me, but I thought you mentioned your God getting angrier as time went on?
SCP-349-1-1: (Gets slightly agitated) I suppose I did mention that. I do not think it will be a problem in the near future, however. And until then, our benefactors here will have found a solution, right? (Clears throat) I think I am done with the questioning now, please.
Dr. Langdon: No problem. Thank you for your time, sir.

*SCP-349-1-197: (Visibly agitated, glancing around anxiously)
Dr. Langdon: Hey, little friend. Don't be scared. We are not here to hurt you. I just want to ask you some things. Firstly, how is your family like?
SCP-349-1-197: Hi, um. I'll try to not be too scared. So, um. My mom is pretty nice. She makes really good food. I don't really know my dad. I don't, uh… think he's around, anymore.
Dr. Langdon: That sounds really sad. Do you miss him?
SCP-349-1-197: Not really, since I never met him. I just, um, wish he was around to lighten my mom's burdens.
Dr. Langdon: What burdens does your mom have?
SCP-349-1-197: Um, well, she has to take care of me. I don't have brothers, but, um, she tries to take care of other kids too. I like the other kids, uh, but I feel like my mom gets too much work. Also, she's, uh, really scared of being offered. To the King God.
Dr. Langdon: Are you scared of the possibility too?
SCP-349-1-197: Of course! She's, uh… my, mom. I love her a lot. I don't want her to go like that. But I guess it, um, has to be done, uh, by someone. And it could be her.
Dr. Langdon: Does your tribe sacrifice kids?
SCP-349-1-197: (Coughs and clears throat) No, no I don't think so. I haven't seen, uh, any of my friends disappear, so, um…
Dr. Langdon: That's good, at least. (Flips pages, writes something down) I think that's all for now, buddy. The door's unlocked. Your mom's waiting outside the room, I'll be questioning her later too. Thank you for your time.

Begin Interview at 14:30, ██/09/20██.
Dr. Langdon: (Clears throat) Welcome, ma'am. I questioned your son earlier and he told me you have quite a few burdens in your village. Can you tell me more about it?
SCP-349-1-89: I take care of the other kids. Primarily the ones that have been orphaned because of their parents being offered to the King God. It's a bit depressing, but we must get used to the cycle.
Dr. Langdon: Hm. Your son mentioned something about your husband not being present. What happened to him?
SCP-349-1-89: (Pauses and sighs) He became an offering before █████ was born. I never told him because he already knows I'm a bit paranoid of ending up like that too.
Dr. Langdon: Mhm… Now, can you tell me trivia about your c-
Tape ends. Dr. Langdon informs that the electric power of the site then went out. The emergency generator turned on shortly afterwards, however the interview microphone remained non-functional. Few minutes after, SCP-349-2's whispers could be heard and SCP-349-1-89 became highly distressed. All SCP-349-2 instances then entered the interview room and attacked SCP-349-1-89 until she was subdued. All attempts made by site personnel to stop SCP-349-2 were futile. SCP-349-1-89 was subsequently confirmed sacrificed and site power came back on. SCP-349-2 instances disappeared.

Poor ███████ kid. I can still barely read this without my god damn stomach turning over. This island may hide God, but it's ███████ hell. I'm only keeping this log up because it's a first-hand account of the tragedies these people have lived through for ██████ millennia. I'm sorry for whoever read through all of this. It's in the name of science, I guess. ████.

Addendum 349-A:
The following is an observation log detailing hour-to-hour activities generalized based on observation of twelve (12) SCP-349-1 families for a week. Results may not be 100% conclusive.

+ Show OL-349-1

0001 to 0500 - Sleep
0500 to 0600 - Rituals at the volcano's edge (rituals are highly spiritual, with spirit invocation or pleading to "His Conductors")
0600 to 0630 - Sacrifice OR Free Time (depends)
0630 to 0730 - Breakfast (families may have breakfast together at the beach or at each other's huts; rarely a huge gathering)
0730 to 1130 - Free Time (adult activities range from beach walks to sexual intercourse; child activities range from playing with each other to spending time with their parents)
1130 to 1200 - Worship (while food is prepared, most SCP-349-1 subjects worship to their God in totem-like statues around the village)
1200 to 1230/1300 - Lunch (lunch time may vary depending on whether a family eats alone or with other families; occasional big gathering of the village to eat various meats; meat sources are unknown, as there is no recorded fauna on the island apart from SCP-349-1)
1230/1300 to 1700 - Free Time
1800 to 1900 - Rituals at the volcano's edge (rituals are practiced twice per day, however the second practice appears optional as some families were observed to be absent from the meeting)
1900 to 2400 - Sleep OR Free Time (there is no apparent curfew, however most families are asleep by midnight)

Event Log 349-GAMMA:
The following log details the events that happened on ██/12/20██ after a few months of no unusual activity. Event 349-GAMMA caused SCP-349 to be seemingly stripped of all anomalous properties along with its population.

At 17:00, all instances of SCP-349-1 (except children) converged upon the edge of the volcano's crater. A ritual with as of yet no known meaning was carried out under Foundation supervision. SCP-349-1-1 spoke out in gibberish as the rest of the population watched. As SCP-349-1-1 spoke, SCP-349-2 instances equal in amount to the SCP-349-1 population began to emerge. Each grabbed one member of SCP-349-1 and dragged them into the volcano. No more anomalies were detected as of 18:00. Child instances of SCP-349-1 were not found in subsequent searches. On-site personnel believe this is a common occurrence for the island and child instances of SCP-349-1 resurface years later as adults and cause SCP-349's anomalous properties to return. Provisionally, SCP-349 has been reclassified from Euclid to Neutralized. Following the event, 80% of research and guard staff has been relocated off the island and fauna has been subsequently identified.

Item #: SCP-493

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-493 is circled by a 4m tall concrete perimeter wall located 0.5km away from SCP-493 in all directions. SCP-493 and its perimeter is not to be observed, entered or interacted with at any times. Instances of SCP-493-1 must be neutralized and disposed of as quickly as possible after being discovered. In case of abnormal SCP-493 manifestations, Mobile Task Force squadron Whiskey-13 ("Prison Guards") is to be deployed around SCP-493's perimeter wall in preparation for following events.
