SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: N/A
DESCRIPTION: SCP-001 is the planetary body known as Earth.
Given that SCP-001 has existed for the entirety of human memory and written history, the anomalous improbability of Earth's nature as compared to all other planets in the observable universe investigated by the Foundation's TELLUS Program is regarded as "normal" within public perception.
Personnel are to remind themselves daily of the anomalous nature of the planet, especially during times of perceived ennui in regards to their participation within the Foundation or when engaging in dissenting thought patterns. Personnel are to encourage one another to persevere through difficult workplace situations with the knowledge that the planet we inhabit is anomalous in its entirety and resists the order of civilization with chaos and aberration. Doing so has increased both productivity and containment success rates, the latter of which by over 12% in the last five years.
SCP-001-E1 is the designation for the remains of a superluminal interstellar ark recovered during an archeological expedition in the Atacama Desert of Chile between 1922-1946, led by American Paleontologist Dr. Hubert ███████. ███████ reported his findings to the Society for American Archaeology, piquing the interest of a number of different parties.
The remaining fragments of the ship's outer hull and mechanical components were excavated and found to be comprised of highly durable exotic polymers which were unaffected by time and environmental exposure. Various dating methods have analyzed the material and yielded inconsistent results. Despite this, recovered information suggests the vessel was several billion years old.

Large areas of SCP-001-E1 were noted to have been converted into makeshift living space, implying the vehicle was intact and did not crash upon its arrival. In addition, remnants of personal effects such as clothing, electronics, and furniture were recovered and eventually contained, all possessing anomalous materials and abilities that resisted normal wear to varying degrees. Though the full size of the vessel is unknown, extrapolation from recovered sections of fuselage suggest it was capable of containing a substantial inventory of supplies and a population of anywhere from roughly 200,000-800,000, the remains of which decomposed naturally, aside from the individuals discovered within SCP-001-E2.

SCP-001-E2 is a set of nine ten advanced cryogenic stasis pods discovered among the wreckage in a low-power "hibernation" mode during excavation of SCP-001-E1. Of the pods discovered, all but one were [DATA PURGED PER O5 REQUEST], with the final member, POI-001, possessing base physiology and brain activity expected from recovered imagery and records. POI-001's core tenets and general distrust of anomalous artifacts would establish the Foundation's presence on Earth as a force to contain aberrant objects, locations, and phenomena—beginning with those found inside SCP-001-E1.
Also found among the rubble were several data storage devices which appeared to have been destroyed, despite being comprised of similar exotic materials as other items found inside SCP-001-E1, suggesting they may have been damaged with exotic/anomalous tools. Analysis was largely unsuccessful, with the only salvageable information recovered from a ~4.2 cm3 fragment of compressed materials forming a complex, multilayered information medium presented as a set of vertical data stacks. The information recovered from the interpreted fragment were then translated from their original language, comprised of Class I cognitohazardous glyphs that appear similar to the engravings found on SCP-093.
These glyphs cause a subjective "Rosetta Stone" effect in readers, allowing for advanced comprehension of the material regardless of known lexicons and proficiency. However, certain words and identifiers such as names are still uninterpretable, lacking equivalent meaning or contextual basis. Clinical language retains a structured yet atypical format, while colloquial language possesses both an unfamiliar creole and syntactic structure. Analysis of the language is ongoing.
