SCP-4338. Image taken during EVENT DN-4338-33, 09/04/1974.
Special Containment Procedures: 6 FHT Class Security Frigates, along with Aquatic Research Vessel Herron will maintain a seven-point blockade around Moaha Island.1 At the beginning of each lunar month2, a varied assortment of food must be deposited into this island's volcanic crater, including:
- 40-50kg vegetables (e.g., cassava, taro, sweet potato, purple yam).
- 30-40kg fruits (e.g., mango, pineapple, cherimoya, jackfruit).
- 50-80kg fish (e.g., tuna, salmon, marlin, dorado).
- 40-80kg assorted nuts, herbs, and seaweed.
- 60-80kg pork, shredded/smoked.
These provisions, based on the staple foods of a Pacific/Oceanian native society, have a 78-83% chance of being accepted by SCP-4338. Should a deposit be rejected, the appointed "leader" should proceed to an isolated location to avoid destruction of Foundation property and additional loss of life. For more details, see "4338-DN Event Overview" below.
Description: SCP-4338 is a sapient, levitating, 2.3km3 sphere of volcanic rock inhabiting the magma chamber beneath Moaha Island. Multiple artifacts and oral traditions reference this entity as "Ōsobiue", "Irn'acha", or "God of the Burning Ocean": a central figure in the creation myths — and extinction events — of some 19 early oceanic cultures.
