A SCP-6533-1 instance in New Houston, Mars, United Colonies.
Special Containment Procedures: The SCP-6533 Research & Containment Team must develop a method of halting the anomaly's manifestation and overall prevent the ongoing PHK-Class Multiplanetary-Attack Scenario.
Until a proper solution is found, Applied Task Force Rho-84 ("Duck Hunt") must respond to reports of SCP-6533 phenomena from civilians by removing current passengers and containing the affected vehicle, or if its transformation completes, neutralize the SCP-6533-1 instance by use of explosive projectiles. Live captured instances are contained in high-security containment chambers at TRITON-Site-934, while the remains of neutralized instances are recycled.
Description: SCP-6533 is an unpredictable event exclusively affecting human spacecraft, with no known cause or pattern. Affected vehicles will begin to travel autonomously, disregarding any orders by its operator(s), for approximately five hours. After this period, the ship will begin to bend, tear and crush itself until it is reshaped into a body resembling the extinct Aves class of animals.Commonly known as the bird. Formerly a highly-populant type of vertebrate prior to the ED-K Class Mass Memory Loss Event on Earth, which caused irredeemable damage to the biosphere, eventually terminating a majority of avian species. Remaining birds died off from incompatibility with extraterrestrial environments and other natural causes. from the planet Earth. These constructs are designated SCP-6533-1.
Fully formed SCP-6533-1 instances are sentient, and will attempt to search for and destroy any human infrastructure — both terrestrial and interstellar — through pecking, slapping (with their "wings"), or bombardment (with remaining fuel). These attacks will continue indefinitely unless the entities are dismantled.
SCP-6533-1 instances are proven to not be mechanically operated automatons, as all machinery is destroyed after an instance forms itself. Current research has yet to uncover the animate nature of SCP-6533-1 entities..[RAISA FILE NOTE] This sentence has been flagged for deletion due to outdated information. See Addendum 3.
Discovery: First sighting of the SCP-6533 phenomenon occured in 14/MAY/2104, when a commercial spacecraft preparing for takeoff from the Gimhea International Spaceport in New Busan, Luna Korea was affected by the anomaly. Subsequent manifestations occured in Mars, Venus, Jupiter's moons and various interstellar structures, respectively.
Initial manifestations would be reported for every three months, but would later become much more frequent over time, resulting in SCP-6533 transpiring every two-to-three weeks as of the current date.
Civilian response to the anomaly has been very aggressive, with a majority of the human population attempting to incapacitate the entities, despite warnings by the Foundation to handle containment to trained staff only. These attacks are theorized to have increased the frequency and severity of SCP-6533 events in the Solar System.
ADDENDUM 1 — NOTABLE EVENTS
The following are three example SCP-6533 manifestations in the Solar System. For a comprehensive list, see Document 6533-A.
| EVENT 6533.01 | |
|---|---|
| Date | Location |
| 14/MAY/2104 | Gimhea International Spaceport, New Busan, Luna Korea, Earth's Moon |
| Details | |
| The Boeing S878 commercial spaceship of Flight 410 (New Busan — Kyung) suddenly began activity without command by its pilots, taking off much earlier than scheduled. Passengers and staff inside were panicking as the ship seemingly flew in random directions above New Busan. As no evidence of a cyberattack on the ship's sytems was detected by Korean law enforcement, the event was suspected to be paranatural and thaumaturgists from the National Paranormal Emergency Service (NPES) were deployed to handle the situation. While the passengers were succesfully apported. Apportation — An occult method of instantaneous teleportation. to the spaceport and the ship magically restrained, the vehicle began to reshape itself into an animated sculpture of a Columba livia domestica (Feral Pigeon) instance, breaching out of the thaumaturgical lock. The instance proceeded to run throughout New Busan, congesting traffic and damaging buildings by flapping its "wings", blowing objects away. NPES members successfully terminated the entity thirty minutes later, transferring the leftover scraps to an unknown location. NPES has refused to give any further information gained on the entity, nor the location of its remains, to the Foundation. |

| EVENT 6533.89 | |
| Date | Location |
| 27/AUG/2104 | Southern Troposphere, Venus |
| Details | |
| The Twilight Sky luxury cruise spaceship, which was in the process of a five day cruise from Palmira to Concordia with 4,626 passengers and 1,473 crew members on board, started to display signs of being under an SCP-6533 event as it began controlling itself without prompt. Aware of the phenomena, Twilight Sky staff members quickly directed passagers towards the emergency Artificial Way leading back to the Palmira Port before the ship would alter itself. Despite their efforts, a hundred and fifty-six passengers failed to exit the vehicle and presumably died by crushing as the ship reshaped itself into a form resembling a Falco rusticolus (gyrfalcon). The SCP-6533-1 instance began flying towards Concordia with exceptional speed, forcing Foundation assets in the planet to order a missile strike upon the entity. The SCP-6533-1 specimen was successfully hit and fell down into a lava field on the surface of Venus. Despite this, it remains active, attempting to launch itself off from the molten rock. |

| EVENT 6533.254 | |
| Date | Location |
| 05/NOV/2104 | Asteroid Mine, West-South Asteroid Belt |
| Details | |
| An automatic mining unit began to drill onto infrastructures and nearby manned ships. Initially assumed to be a glitch in the unit's system, mining operations were cancelled after the unit reshaped itself into a Campephilus principalis (ivory-billed woodpecker) form, using the drill as a "beak." While the mining company responsible for the operation advised everyone to leave the vicinity, their miners instead attemped to destroy the entity themselves by using drilling equipment and explosives. The SCP-6533-1 specimen suffered enough damage to become inanimate, which resulted in a celebration between mining staff. The remains of the unit were melted for recycling. |

ADDENDUM 2 — INTERVIEW RECORD
On 19/FEB/2105, a Foundation armed spacecraft stationed at Triton had suffered an SCP-6533 event. After complete transformation, Task Force members claimed the entity was able to produce semi-coherent speech, using the voice synthesis of BT-020.aic, which was installed in the ship system at the time of the event. As all surveillance footage of the incident was lost due to the destruction caused by the instance, their claims could not be verified at the time. The entity (designated SCP-6533-1-442) did not speak when containment was achieved. An interview was made to confirm the existence of this ability:
INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT
Triton, location of EVENT-6533.442.
Date: 20/FEB/2105 (02:53)
Location: TRITON-Site-934
Interviewer: Doctor Collen Minerva
Interviewee: SCP-6533-1-442
Supervisor: Doctor Sapphira Eponine (Research Head)
Foreword: Doctor Minerva will be conversing with the instance through a speaker embedded in the chamber, while watching it through a surveillance camera.
[Excerpt begins.]
[SCP-6533-1-442 is seen at its chamber, pecking the wall to its left.]
Eponine: The set is activated. You may begin, Collen.
Minerva: Alright, here we go. [He adjusts the microphone.] Hello? Can you understand me?
[The entity inspects the speaker.]
Minerva: If you can understand me, please say something.
[…]
SCP-6533-1-442: RAWK!!
Minerva: Woah! What was that?
Eponine: Huh, not what I expected. Turn the volume down.
SCP-6533-1-442: RAWK!! [Chirping of an unidentified species of Psittacoidea (True Parrot).]
[Omitted: For the next five minutes, Doctor Minerva attempts to get SCP-6533-1-442 to vocalize any intelligible language, while the entity in question proceeds to yell several parrot calls.]
Minerva: We're not getting anything, Sapph. Are they sure it said something while it was out?
Eponine: The agents were certain that it was saying something with an "R." [She sighs.] I guess we know what that is now.
Minerva: Ugh. What a waste of time.
Eponine: Yeah, this interview is finished.
[Eponine begins to deactivate the recording equipment.]
Minerva: I'm gonna go to the canteen later. I would kill for some pizz—
SCP-6533-1-442: KILL!
[…]
Minerva: Um.
[Minerva grabs the microphone.]
Minerva: Can you… repeat that?
1-442: KILL. […] THEY KILLED THEM.
Minerva: What are you referring to?
1-442: OUR BROTHERS. OUR HOME. BROKEN BY THEM. RAWK! KILLED BY THEM.
Minerva: Who?
1-442: MAN. [It chirps erratically.] MAN KILLED US.
Minerva: […] I don't understand.
1-442: HOMES WERE BURNED, COULD NOT LIVE. SOME DIDN'T RECOGNIZED US. THEY HATED US.
Minerva: No. No, we didn't do anything. This is a mis—
1-442: NOW BACK. DON'T KNOW HOW. NOW I WANT…
Minerva: What? You want what?
1-442: RA— REVENGE. REVENGE! RAWK! REVENGE!!
[SCP-6533-1-442 continues to repeat this while simultaneously bashing the walls of the chamber. Security arrives to escort both doctors.]
[Excerpt ends.]
Afterword: After this interview, Doctor Eponine requested a review of the anomaly by the Department of the Departed.
ADDENDUM 3 — SPECTREMETRIC RESEARCH
An inspection by the Department of the Departed has revealed minute traces of ectoplasm on certain components of vehicles affected by SCP-6533, confirming the presence of a spectral entity inside activate SCP-6533-1 instances.
This newly discovered aspect of these entities, along with their increasing rate of manifestations, would imply that SCP-6533 itself constitutes a PHK-Class "Specter Storm" Multiplanetary-Attack Scenario..A scenario where the complete collective of humanity is targeted by a group of aggressive spectral entities that have suffered an extinction, were the victim of a genocide or were generally killed in its entirety. Foundation analysts conclude that this event may progress for a further 300,000 years until the entire population of deceased birds is depleted, and will result in an overwhelming amount of damage to human construction in total.
As current containment methods will not be sufficient to diminish SCP-6533's effects on human civilization, Doctor Eponine has proposed that SCP-6533 be decommissioned, with complete approval of the Decommissioning Department. Containment procedures have been edited to focus on research into a possible system-wide exorcism.
ADDENDUM 4 — DECOMMISSIONING PLAN
After four months and seventeen days of research and development, a scheduled decommissioning plan against the SCP-6533 phenomenon has been formed.
The attempt would consist of several exorcism rituals performed on various points in the Solar System, each one operated in a different planet in reversal order of initial SCP-6533-1 manifestations, with the final ritual performed on Earth..A minor breach of Class-H Quarantine Zone protocols will be allowed due to the severity of the situation, however personnel are required wear a hazardous materials suit when entering the planet, and must still be screened when exiting.
Seventy-four occult personnel located across the system will participate in the operation, while the main SCP-6533 research team, lead by Doctor Eponine, will be responsible for the final ritual on Earth.. The former Site-01-ARC has been selected as the proper site for the ritual, due to its functioning Scranton Reality Anchors (SRAs) diminishing any possible anomalous phenomenon in the area. Various items required for the procedure are mostly common ingredients for standard spiritual exorcism, however due to the nature of the targeted spectral entity, most items will consist of plants and other botanical objects originating from Earth. (See Document 6533-D for further details.)
The scheduled date for the decommissioning attempt is currently being considered by the SCP-6533 research team, the Decommissioning Department and the Overseer Council.
