Description: SCP-XXXX is a ritual song through which practitioners can contact the spirits of those who died at sea, and those who had strong connections with them. This method is quite similar to methods employed by MTF Omega-0, and research between a connection is underway.

This ritual was originally discovered in 1784 by an unknown private, previously under the command of Elcid Barrett. The song describes the tale of the narrator's time serving on the HMS Antelope, a ship active from the mid 18th century and destroyed in 1778 - killing the entire crew, with the exception of the narrator.

It is believed that the songwriter first came up with the tune and first verse, which came to become connected to the spirits of his former crewmates through repetition and association.
