Inside SCP-4476

Item #: SCP-4476

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4476 is to be kept in a standard containment locker at site-74 when not in testing. Determining the origin of SCP-4476 is considered a priority, and whether or not it is part of a larger anomaly. A probe that is capable of maintaining signal contact with the Earth while on the other side of the sun is being developed. Current theories being tested for the origin of SCP-4476:

• SCP-4476 is it's own anomaly and does not have an origin relevant to its containment
• An unknown anomaly located on the far side of the sun that affected SCPF probe 22-Epsilon and somehow transported it back to Earth
• A class 2 dimensional rift on the far side of the sun that leads to an alternate dimension that launched a probe similar to SCPF probe 22-Epsilon at the same time as baseline
• An anomaly that copied SCPF probe 22-Epsilon and sent it to Earth

The signal transponder from SCP-4476 is disabled, and is only to be turned during testing or collection of data.

Description: SCP-4476 is a long range space probe resembling SCPF probe 22-Epsilon, a probe that was sent on a mission to orbit the sun on 06/14/2014 in order to start monitoring the solar system for anomalies that could be obscured by the sun. SCP-4476 is identical to 22-Epsilon except that it is inverted from left to right. The nameplate on the probe reads:

SCP Foundation Long Range Probe
22-Epsilon

Signals produced by SCP-4476 are standard encrypted Foundation automated probe communications, although inverted as well. SCP-4476 was found when site-74, the control center for all long range SCPF space probes, started picking up the inverted signal from SCP-4476 24 hours after 22-Epsilon had ceased communications to travel behind the sun. Site-74 long range probe command was able to send inverted signals to SCP-4476 to order it to course correct to be intercepted by Earth. SCP-4476 was picked up after it had reentered Earth's atmosphere and crash landed in the Atlantic sea.

Special Containment Procedures: Foundation assets embedded in space agencies and corporations are to actively discourage sending spacecraft or probes to the other side of the sun from where the Earth is currently positioned. Current equipment in space capable of sending images back to Earth, such as the Martian landers or long range probes, are to have any images of SCP-4476 removed and any civilians amnesticized as necessary. Despite SCP-4476’s apparent size and mass, it does not appear to have any gravitational affects on other solar bodies, as such no disinformation campaign is currently necessary past ensuring no images become available.

SCP-4476-1 is to be stored in a long-term containment locker at site-74.

Testing for the nature of SCP-4476 is to be conducted on station Leinth-1 under lead researcher Isabelle Green. Proposals for testing of duplicate SCP objects using SCP-4476 are to be submitted to site-74 command with final approval from at least one O5 member.

Description: SCP-4476 is a planet identical to Earth orbiting directly on the other side of the sun. Investigation of the planet has shown that SCP-4476 is identical to baseline Earth in every way, with its own version of the SCP Foundation, but is mirrored. As there have been no recorded instances of SCP-4476 deviating from baseline Earth, it is not thought to constitute any additional risk of containment breach from duplicate anomalies. Any living organism that enters the mesosphere of SCP-4476 will invert via unkown anomalous means to the mirrored version, and will remain that way until reentering the mesosphere of baseline Earth. This inversion process is instantaneous does not appear to have any affect on other physical properties, or ability of life to survive from one planet to the other. Humans subjected to this process have described it as “feeling like a video game where the suddenly invert the controls, except that your brain is inverted as well and you can operate normally.”

Discovery: Confirmation of SCP-4476 as a planet occurred on 07/10/2016. A manned mission, Aliph-12, to the far side of the sun had been launched several months earlier in order to determine the origin of SCP-4476-1. Aliph-12 began sending images of SCP-4476 back to site-74 once it reached a location capable of doing so. Site-74 control signaled to Aliph-12 to attempt landing on SCP-4476. At the same time that Aliph-12 would have been landing on SCP-4476, a mirrored version of Aliph-12 landed at site-74. The occupants were detained and questioned, appearing to be the same Foundation astronauts that had been sent on the Aliph-12 mission. Occupants were kept in a standard containment cell for 6 months, during which the original Aliph-12 did not reappear from behind the sun. After 6 months, site-74 got the go-ahead from Overwatch central command to release the astronauts in order to send them back to SCP-4476 to attempt to retrieve Aliph-12. Aliph-12 was successfully returned to Earth, relaying the same experience that the mirrored version had had on baseline Earth.

+ Addendum 1 Level 3/4476 Classified

After several communications between the Foundation and SCP-4476 through probes and manned missions, Project Leinth was proposed in order to determine the nature of SCP-4476 and to potentially test bringing duplicate SCP’s together to neutralizes their effects and reduce difficulties in their containment. Reclassification of SCP-4476 to Thaumiel pending Project Leinth’s success.

Station Leinth-1 is a space station using SCP-████ as a power source in order to maintain its position above the North Pole of the sun. One half is from the Foundation and the other half from SCP-4476. The station is currently staffed by 24 researchers and 10 station security, led by lead SCP-4476 researcher Isabelle Green. First shipment of SCP objects for testing are scheduled for 14/04/2020. For current tests from Leinth-1 see testing log.

+ Testing Logs: Level 3/4476 Classified

Theory 1: SCP-4476 is a copy	SCP-4476 (or baseline Earth) is a mirror copy of the other, and one would be following the actions of the other slightly behind
Subject	One researcher from both sides of the station
Protocol	Researchers are to go through a complex series of motions while under surveillance by high-speed cameras capable of taking 500 frames per second
Results	Researchers performed the actions at the same time to the frame of every camera. Copy theory ruled out

Theory 2: SCP-4476 from a different dimension	SCP-4476 is from an identical dimension or a pocket dimension to the baseline dimension. A class 2 dimensional portal is located somewhere between the two and the sun
Subject	One researcher and a Scranton Reality Anchor from both sides of the station
Protocol	Researchers are to activate the Scranton Reality Anchors at the same time
Results	No effect on local reality recorded outside norms for 2 Scranton Reality Anchors activating at the same time. Anchors are determined to be calibrated to the same universe and anchor the same reality. SCP-4476 is ruled to be from the same universe.

+ (1) New Testing Log Available For View

Theory: SCP-4476 is US	SCP-4476 isn’t an anomaly SCP-4476 is us we are SCP-4476
Subject	One researcher and one mirror please it is spreading. I can’t get out the others already left. All I have is this test log. Do NOT let them back on Earth. They CANNOT be allowed
Protocol	There were two researchers. They stood in front of the mirror. Then there was one, then there was two. Then they inverted on themselves. It was the most agonizing thing I’ve ever seen, and it’s spreading.
Results	The whole station is destroying itself and reforming inverted. I can hear the creaking getting closer. I watched the escape pod invert as it left. Please. Do NOT LET IT LAND.
