BY ORDER OF THE HEAD ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR OF CONTAINMENT SITE-███
THIS SCP OBJECT HAS BEEN RECLASSIFIED WITH ITS FORMAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES REPLACED WITH UPDATED CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES.
== ENHANCED CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED ==
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-8204 must always remain enclosed in an airlocked containment chamber; access to this area must be restricted to authorized personnel only, and a minimum of five personnel must be present during entry with all involved must wear Anti-memetic protective eyewear and Level A Hazmat suits during any maintenance, repair, or decontamination, and the airlock must also be relocked on the inside to avoid unwanted exposure.
SCP-8204 is to be under strict observation at all times during access, with three personnel assigned to watch for signs of SCP-8204-1 activation. This surveillance must continue until all personnel have exited the chamber and the airlock has been secured. In the event of an activation event, evacuation procedures must commence according to Class 5 hazardous object containment protocol.
Experiments, structure maintenance, and sanitation are not to be conducted at 22:35 (UTC+2) due to established risk factors for SCP-8204-1 manifestation.
Further, the installation of video surveillance or optical recording devices within the containment chamber is absolutely forbidden, due to previous incidents resulting in personnel deaths and structural damages: compliance with whom is critical to avoid further losses.
Description:
SCP-8204 is a wondrously constructed sarcophagus, on which are found carvings and decorations of great complexity. The artifact was delivered into the custody of the Foundation by personnel working for it on September 23, 2009, at Giza, following reports regarding its bizarre activity regarding the coming out of a mummified corpse from within. Archaeological studies suggest that SCP-8204 was originally taken from a burial site of a pharaoh within the Pyramid of Giza.
The first examination of SCP-8204 showed that except for a ceremonial dagger placed inside, the sarcophagus was empty. The dagger itself was tested and found not to exhibit any anomalous properties. The sarcophagus bears inscriptions with Arabic text, but translation attempts were impaired due to its state of ruin, permitting some small but significant errors. Methods to translate the Arabic text letter by letter is still being researched.
SCP-8204 has one anomalous event called a Time Point Activation which occurs every day at 22:35 (UTC+2) for around 30 to 35 minutes. During this time SCP-8204-1 manifests-an animated mummified corpse of an unidentified female of approximately 45 years of age. Upon activation, SCP-8204-1 exhibits aggression and will conduct an environmental scan to locate observers by direct eye contact or through optical surveillance systems.
SCP-8204-1’s reactions vary according to the stimuli it perceives:
- Detection of video surveillance or monitoring equipment within a two-meter (seven-foot) radius results in immediate destruction of the devices via distortion or interference mechanisms.
- Direct visual observation by personnel triggers lethal consequences, including [REDACTED] or activation of a fatal memetic kill agent. All personnel within the chamber during SCP-8204-1’s activation are strictly required to evacuate immediately and refrain from observing SCP-8204 or SCP-8204-1.
Currently, no known method exists to fully neutralize SCP-8204-1 without inducing collateral damage. The only viable containment measure relies on the structural integrity of SCP-8204, as SCP-8204-1 voluntarily returns to the sarcophagus and seals itself upon conclusion of the activation period.
Personnel have intermittently reported faint, unidentified whispering emanating from within the containment chamber. This auditory phenomenon is regarded as a standard occurrence; however, any deviations from established behavioral patterns must be promptly documented and reported to the acting HMCL supervisor.
END OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION SECTION
BY DIRECT ORDERS OF DR. ALEXANDER TAN AND RAISA
THIS SCP OBJECT'S ADDENDUM LOGS REQUIRE SPECIFIC PERMISSION TO ACCESS. UNAUTHORIZED VIEWING WOULD BE LOGGED
Addendum 8204-01 (12/14/2009): Five Foundation personnel lost their lives, confirmed, in a containment breach of SCP-8204, which caused heavy structural damage, estimated to stand at roughly $700,000. Suspended indefinitely are operations requiring direct access to SCP-8204, as directed by Dr. Mak and Site Director [REDACTED]. Operational restrictions will remain in effect pending further evaluation and the application of revised containment protocols.
Addendum 8204-02 (3/29/2011): Containment measures currently in place regarding SCP-8204 are widely regarded as both inadequate and hazardous operationally, owing mainly to the very real threat SCP-8204-1 poses to people who have seen it directly. In light of this containment failure, A Project named Project Anti-Memetic, or most commonly referred to as SCRAM, was developed as the newest countermeasure for serious anti-memetic counteraction.
Dr. Mak states that the SCRAM Eyepiece has improved significantly over the earlier generation of SCRAMBLE Goggles, which were designed by Dr. Dan and Dr. [DATA EXPUNGED]. Its main purpose is to neutralize memetic danger by simply preventing SCP-8204-1 from seeing those involved with it. Project Anti-Memetic, which supersedes its predecessor, brings with it new applications that greatly enhance safety by eliminating unwanted and unintended cognitive or physiological side effects in hazard mitigation.1
Addendum 8204-03 (4/12/2011): After several months of thorough research and analysis, experts have precisely found out what was written on the dagger, and the written phrases were sent to Site-107 for translation.
Addendum 8204-04 (5/27/2011): Research indicates that SCP-8204 was originally interred within the Pyramid of Giza, with its anomalous activation consistently occurring at 22:35 (UTC+2). However, Dr. Mak, along with the team of archaeologists involved in its excavation, has reported that the underlying mechanisms governing SCP-8204-1’s behavior remain largely unexplained.
Specifically, the necessity of a 30- to 35-minute interval before SCP-8204-1 re-enters SCP-8204 has yet to be determined. Additionally, its demonstrated hostility toward optical surveillance equipment and individuals who visually perceive it suggests an intrinsic aversion to direct observation. Investigations into the origins and functional parameters of these anomalous properties remain ongoing.
Addendum 8204-05 (6/23/2011): Examination of SCP-8204's origin has revealed multiple inscriptions indicating that a female pharaoh, tentatively identified as SCP-8204-1, was afflicted with a series of curses associated with misfortune and an explicit prohibition against observation.
Dr. Mak has noted a significant interest in the correlation between this curse of unviewability and SCP-8204-1’s anomalous behavior. Current research suggests that this condition directly influences SCP-8204-1’s hostile response toward individuals who visually perceive her, either through direct observation or optical surveillance, resulting in immediate and targeted repercussions.
Investigations into the precise nature and intended function of this curse remain ongoing.
