Description: SCP-XXXX is a 16 mm woman's wedding band with the inscription “Let His Love Blossom” written on the inside in Hebrew. SCP-XXXX’s effect occurs when it is placed on the left ring finger of a woman between the ages of eighteen (18) and fifty-one (51). This effect causes the subject to become pregnant¹ regardless of prior copulation. Pregnancy from the effect of SCP-XXXX persists even if the ring is removed after initial contact.

Interviewed: POI-4545, observed to be the most compliant of the insurgents captured in the events of Incident Log #3454.

Interviewer: Agent Carter

Agent Carter: How did you know about SCP-XXXX?

POI-4545: It doesn’t matter how I got to know about it, what matters is we need it.

Agent Carter: Care to elaborate?

POI-4545: The relic you hold is what will help us win this war against those who wish to go against our lord. Those mechanical fools and flesh worshippers, they will all fall beneath the might of our lord, our savior. That ring that you hold so dearly is something much more powerful than you all care to see, it is the key to letting our savior into the flesh once again. We know you won’t give up your task, that you won’t just hand us the very thing we need, so we must take it. And one day, it will be ours.
