SCP Project 1: Alien Interstellar Cruise Ship

Level Clearance: 1
Containment Class: Safe
Disruption Class: Dark
Risk Class: Notice
Special Containment Procedures:

SCP XXXX is contained approximately 50ft (15m) from Aquatic Site 4-I. Due to the size of SCP XXXX relocation has been deemed impractical and thus Aquatic Site 4-I was constructed to house it. All civilian and nation sponsored research into the sea floor near Aquatic Site 4-I must be either co-opted by Foundation personnel in order to protect the security of Aquatic Site 4-I or be shut down entirely. If all else fails amnestics are to be applied to any expressing interest in the 4-I area of the sea floor. SCP XXXX itself requires no additional securing to keep it contained. Floodlights must be pointed at SCP XXXX during research expeditions to it, to aid with visibility.

Researcher’s wanting to initiate new investigations into SCP XXXX must first get approval from Aquatic Site 4-I’s current overseer. Expedition teams going into or around SCP XXXX must have at least 2 foundation certified divers with them. These 2 individuals are responsible for ensuring the safety of all other members during any expedition. Any undocumented damage observed on SCP XXXX is to be reported upon return to Aquatic Site 4-I. An immediate investigation is to done into the origin of the damage and whether it is recent or not. If damage is concluded to not be a part of incident XXXX-1a/1b then it is to be repaired as soon as possible. Regular inspections are to be carried out on the structural integrity of SCP XXXX every month and repairs are to be made accordingly. Failure to ensure so by on site overseer will result in demotion.

Description:

SCP XXXX, otherwise known as the SS. Deliciae, is a large 200,000 tonne interplanetary vessel of extraterrestrial origin intended for leisure trips around it’s home star system. After being ejected from it’s own star system an estimated 75,000 years ago SCP XXXX drifted through interstellar space before being caught by the influence of our sun and eventually colliding with the Earth. Evidence of this event was discovered by Professor Aldane in Adi Selam, Ethiopia. Two clay tablets were discovered (see artefact report 1) during an archaeological survey of the Ethiopian, Semien Mountains. They depicted a god-like entity falling from the heavens and splitting the sky in two before shaking the ground so violently that a mountain fell in upon itself. Upon the discovery of this tablet Foundation scientists began an investigation themselves into the area, to ensure that the tablets were not depicting real events. After the discovery of further evidence (see artefact report 2) that indicated this supposed god fell into the Indian Ocean a survey of the Indian Ocean floor began. This led to the eventual discovery of SCP XXXX in quadrant 4-I and then the construction of Aquatic Site 4-I to contain it. It is the current leading theory that the god depicted in tablets XXXX-1 – 5 mistook SCP XXXX entering the atmosphere and colliding with the Indian Ocean floor as a god falling to earth.

Onboard SCP XXXX are a vast array of technologies already familiar to established Foundation knowledge having to do with interplanetary travel. However the cultural artefacts and corpses preserved onboard SCP XXXX are entirely unique. As of the time of the writing of this report there have currently been 15 preserved corpses found as well as 45 physical unique cultural artefacts. As well as digital copies of reports and logs taken by the crew of SCP XXXX. While the cultural artefacts and corpses give an insight into the culture and biology of this unknown extraterrestrial race, the logs and reports give us an insight into how SCP XXXX came to be in our system. Thanks to the book keeping of the now deceased Captain of SCP XXXX the series of events that brought SCP XXXX to the Indian Ocean are made quite clear. These reports however are in the native language of this race. Any translation further along in this report are the best approximations researchers could arrive at.
