Special Containment Procedures: Any use or manipulation of SCP-7467 or its instances is strictly forbidden by the Noroḳránz (Noroḳránz) Law. Furthermore, the following protocols are to be strictly observed by all Foundation personnel and Kueše ÁtignáKueše Átigná Kueše Átigná (Daevite: [kueʃe ɒtignɒ]; meaning 'blood alliance') was an ancient Normalcy Preservation Organization (NPO) which, together with its predecessor groups, monitored the north-western region of China and southern Mongolia, concealing more than 200 anomalies of Daevite, Mekhanite, and Sarkite origin.- (Kueeš Áitgná) members with knowledge of, or access to, SCP-7467-related materials:

  1. Only the original tablet describing SCP-7467, along with a hard copy, shall be stored in Wing H of the Reliquary Area-27Reliquary Area-27Area-27 is an underground facility that serves as both the headquarters for the Department of Tactical Theology and as emergency quartering in the case of a large-scale K-Class Scenario. The site is also used to develop theological weaponry and to contain religiously-orientated anomalies.-. Any other duplicate shall be terminated.
  2. Documentation regarding the SCP-7467-1 location is restricted exclusively to the heads of Project Kāishǐ (開始) and superior command. Relocation or transfer of SCP-7467-1 from its current coordinates is forbidden.
  3. All confirmed objects related to SCP-7467-2, including any derived, inspired, or by-product artifacts, are to be transferred to and contained within any operational base of the Kueše Átigná Research and Containment Area-77.
  4. By mandate of the Ethics Committee, all instances of SCP-7467-2-A and SCP-7467-2-B shall undergo immediate termination via approved humane protocols to ensure rapid and painless neutralization.

Description: SCP-7467 is a daevite thaumaturgical transmutation ritual. Via the application of its designated components, SCP-7467 induces a profound metamorphic shift in subjects of the genus Homo. The resulting entities, designated SCP-7467-2-A, exhibit varying appearances from tumors, abnormal growth of body sections, necrosis, etc. While these instances are responsive to external stimuli, they remain subordinated to the influence of SCP-7467-1 with no conscience whatsoever. Incomplete execution of the ritual or failure to synchronize with SCP-7467-2 results in the generation of sub-optimal iterations, designated SCP-7467-2-B. Given the incomplete nature, their behavior will differ from entity to entity; the most repeated behavior are:
  • Entity mantains a catatonic state, showing normal levels of brain activity but unable to move or communicate.
  • Entity adopts a erratic behavior, responding violently to all interaction.
  • Entity performs as intended with fluxing consciousness, switching brain activity between zero to normal levels in intervals of 7 seconds to 14 hours with duration up to 7 minutes of consciousness.

Her paranoia was what bloomed her greatest fear into reality. Not trusting even her own shadow only meant that, at the most critical moment of her reign, she had no hands with which to respond.

(p.2) SCP-7467-1.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7467-1 must not come into contact with human blood or be worn. Any indication of contamination by blood or EVE residue must be reported for immediate sterilization. Entry into SCP-7467-1's containment chamber is forbidden to all thaumaturgical personnel outside Area-77; only Area-77 personnel or non-thaumaturgical external personnel wearing Level D HAZMAT suits will be permitted entry. In the event that ARad levels in the chamber exceeds 1.0 ARads1, the Compound Reality Anchors (CRA) surrounding SCP-7467-1's chamber will be activated until the measures return to optimal levels.

SCP-7467-1 is contained in the Temple of Haḳei (Haeḳi) sublevel-3 at 46°2'24.555" N, 86°40'47.12" E, permanently guarded by Area-77. Research into the operation or practical use of SCP-7467-1 is not permitted at this time; only research pertaining to its containment, components, or countermeasures is allowed. SCP-7467-1 must not be removed from its current chamber. Area-77 personnel are authorized to use lethal force in the event of any attempt at manipulation or extraction not approved by the heads of Project Kāishǐ.


Description: SCP-7467-1 is a pair of bracelets made of VieliumVieliumVielium or Viátuva (Daevite: [vi͡ɒtuʋa]; meaning 'metal from Viálos') is an alloy of gold, copper and cristobalite dust made by the Daevite Empire. The highest grade of vielium had a pale golden color and was made with 36.5% gold, 50.6% copper and 12.9% cristobalite dust.- bracelets with inscriptions in ancient daevite; SCP-7467-1 dates to the Low Daevic period2, in the reign of the Xeátxa (eXátax) dynasty at the northwest Beulaeva Covenant. The primary function of SCP-7467-1 is to control and command SCP-7467-2-A and SCP-7467-2-B entities, subduing them if necessary, by activating the SCP-7467-2 instances they carry.

SCP-7467-1 is composed of 38.5% gold, 50.3% copper and 11.2% cristobalite dust. Due to the properties of the vielium—when utilized as a shaper3—the object increases the wearer's thaumaturgical proficiency by 6% to 21%, varying across individual subjects.

Upon contact of the inscriptions on SCP-7467-1 with blood from the bearer, the anomalous of properties the object will activate, connecting SCP-7467-1's host to all existing SCP-7467-2-A and SCP-7467-2-B entities. All instances will lose their ability to act independently, remaining in a 'surveillance mode' until they are given an order and/or task. SCP-7467-2-B will frequently snap out of their control state but will not be able to move, communicate, nor to hold conscience effectively for more than 7 minutes.

Parahistory


10th-century

In 940 CE, the Abnormality InstituteAbnormality InstituteThe Abnormal Objects and Phenomena Institute of China, founded between 618 CE and 1115 CE, was the largest supernatural research organization in China up until its absorption by the SCP Foundation following the collapse of the Qing Dynasty.- (異學會) came across the remains of Daevite ruins (p. 3) in the present area of Hefeng County (和丰县); on June 15, 940, the Institute established a research settlement focused on investigating the area surrounding the discovery and unlocking the entrance to the structure. A 19-member team was assigned to the settlement to conduct research. Recording their progress on a series of scrolls.

(p.3) Ruins discovered originally by the Anormality Institute, now known as Haḳei's Temple, 1912.

Days later, the research team was attacked by a local group; the group was vaguely identified as daevite, although several of its members displayed characteristics that differed from ordinary daevites or daevas. There were no fatalities, but injuries causing the delay of the investigation indefinitely for weeks.

On July 2, 940, cavalry was sent to the settlement along with fresh rations. Tensions between the two groups escalated with the researchers' deployment of military force; nevertheless, a final attempt was made to communicate with the group, and after a delicate exchange, peaceful communication was established.

    Log Report 03: Team 53 - Ancient Desert Ruins


    Week 5.-
    ———
    Just as we were about to abandon the settlement and return to headquarters, we heard dozens of horses approaching us, carrying several kilos of rations and medicine. Their arrival was anything but welcome by the déwǎ huìzhòng, who greeted them with stones, arrows, and javelins, but the soldiers' superior training meant this was no problem, and they were able to defend themselves and keep us safe.

    The general was ready to order a rain of arrows on the group; I will be honest, I ruth them, so I convinced him to make one last attempt at communication. With my companion serving as translator, we approached as close as we could, unarmed, so we could speak to them:

    Me: Hello, we don't want problems, we just want to talk.

    [Unintelligible response]

    Me: We don't want anyone else to get hurt… and I certainly don't want anyone to die because of this misunderstanding.
    █████████████████████████████Retreat then! You have no advantage here.
    Adult Daevite (Male):iXadkueg!aMiex eMš Xuravduk Xuex.Xidakuge! Maixe meš xurvaduk xuxe.

    Me: I understand that you are skilled in magic, but back there is a host ready to slay you.
    ███████████████████████████████Fool! All these ruins are ours.
    Adult Daevite (Female):Eaṭil!iMá aNaxuen eXniteafuefut.Eṭail! Miá naxaune xentiefaufeut.
    █████████████████████████████We will defend it with our life.
    Old Daevite (Female):Suxaru tuhufoieg xutá kut ifáebnefut.Suxrau tuhufoige xutá kut fiábenfeut.

    [The beldam of the group slightly lowers her weapon, but doesn't break eye contact]
    █████████████████████████████It is our duty, intruder.
    Old Daevite (Female):Xutá astáeṭ edáṭefut,adošer.Xutá satáṭe deáṭfeut, daošre.

    Me: Just. Please. We can resolve this an reach an agreement. I plight thy with my life, we don't know what's in those ruins. That's why we are here, to investigate and prevent the wrong person from finding it. Just listen to us, please.

    [The beldam silences the others. After they have spoken among themselves for a while, somewhat dismayed by her, they respond.]
    █████████████████████████████You can speak.
    Adult Daevite (Male):Xutá iHzá Xuetameg Xuex.Xutá hizá xutemage xuxe.

    [All the group lowers their weapons.]
    █████████████████████████████But, any movement will mean war.
    Adult Daevite (Male):aMešaz,Xuitḳáeg iMá iHeheftláekt.Mašeza, xutiḳáge miá hihefetláket.

    Me: Thank you! Thank you… Thank you so much. We'll be there in a moment.


    After that brief exchange, the cavalry equipped us with armor and a small dagger, which we decided to discard before going with them. Upon arriving, we noticed that the group consisted of only four déwǎ huìzhòng—one déwǎ huìzhòng, two bàn déwǎ (半德瓦)5 and an elderly báisè déwǎ (白色德瓦)6 with metal limbs—with the rest being chīròu derén (吃肉的人)7; the latter stepped in front of us and asked us to remove our armor, which we did with no objection.

    They call themselves Kuíshe Àodìníào (奎舍奥迪鸟)8, and this temple is part of an area they protect. When we asked them why they were protecting this place, at first the leader refused to reveal that information; however, after we explained who we were and what we did, she agreed to disclose part of the reason:

    We look for something similar.
    The weapons my kind created.
    Terrible weapons that should never be named.
    One lies in this tomb.


    With this new information, we returned to the settlement and explained everything we had discussed with the team. We debated for a while whether we should continue with the project, until we finally decided to respect their temple but establish a perimeter to support their mission of keeping anyone from approaching the area. The group, though visibly distrustful, was convinced by the bái mó leader.

    The program has changed; this area will serve as a covert surveillance site. We will try to continue gathering information about what is inside the tomb.

The settlement managed to establish itself as an official surveillance site, which expanded to cover various daevite deposits throughout the area. The site Jìjìng zhī chéngThe City of the SunThe City of the Sun or formally Jìjìng zhī chéng (traditional chinese: 寂靜之城) was a subsidiary of the Abnormality Institute and later an independent containment site precursor to the Foundation in Siberia.- (寂靜之城), as it was officially known, covered more than 2,000 acres in the central area, with various subordinate sites guarding ruins far from the main settlement. At its peak, the 'City of the Sun' contained 371 houses, 12 markets, and 1 main temple, as well as hundreds of artifacts, as shown in the image (p.4), all dating from the Lower Daevic period.

The Abnormality Institute managed to establish better communication with Kueše Átigná by integrating them into its staff; under the name 'Project Kāishǐ', members of Kueše Átigná worked closely with researchers, forging an identity that set Jìjìng zhī chéng apart from others sites at the time and effectively operating as an independent facility.

20th-century

Following the integration of the Abnormality Institute in 1912, Jìjìng zhī chéng continued to operate independently of the foundation as the operational base of Kueše Átigná, along with most of its subsidiary sites.

Disputes between Kueše Átigná and the SCP Foundation were quick to follow. Due to the area's importance and the retention of documentation related to the Daevite Empire, control of the zone became a turning point that ultimately severed Jìjìng zhī chéng and all its subsidiaries from the SCP Foundation custody. Multiple talks were held with little to no willingness on either side, the director and rajmata Dir. Koenti Xofit'AitKoenti Xofit'AitKoenti Xofit'Ait or Káenti Xofiṭaiṭ (Daevite: Káenit Xoifaṭiṭ, [kɒenti xoɸit'a͡it']) (born Viálos. 14,800 BCE) is a thaumaturge, alchemist, engineer, and daeva scholar, leader of the Henma, founder of Kueše Átigná and their predecessors, and co-founder of Jìjìng zhī chéng and Area-77. Under her leadership, the various precursor groups to the Foundation in northern China and southern Mongolia managed to contain more than 500 anomalies originating in Siberia and areas identified as daevite.- (Káenit Xoifaṭiṭ) and the O5 Council; the greatest progress achieved during this period was the sharing of a limited number of minor documents and a brief exchange program.

The conflict reached its breaking point on February 10, 1996, when an unauthorized covert operation raided one of the Kueše Átigná subsidiaries at gunpoint, managing to steal approximately 117 classified documents, including records detailing the contents of the main ruins protected by Jìjìng zhī chéng.


SCP-7467-2 "Eṭail Kofá (A Foolish Servant)"

(p.5) Naturally mummified SCP-7467-2-A instance (14,600 to 14,400 BCE).

Special Containment Procedures: Under no circumstances should SCP-7467-2 be worn nor used for its original purpose. All instances of SCP-7467-2 must be kept in permanently polarised display cases. Only pre-approved tests may remove SCP-7467-2 from its respective display case. Tests focused on its consequences are not permitted at this time. The application of runic tattoos in Area-77 must be supervised by security personnel to prevent accidental similarity to SCP-7467-2-4. All clothing accessories made of gold, silver, and/or copper must be inspected and approved by trained personnel prior to use. Any indication of an attempt to duplicate SCP-7467-2-1/2/3 will be reported.

(p.6) SCP-7467-2.

Description: SCP-7467-2 is a set of earrings (SCP-7467-2-1), necklaces (SCP-7467-2-2), rings (SCP-7467-2-3), and tattoos (SCP-7467-2-4) that act as catalysts for SCP-7467, dating from the same period as SCP-7467-1. SCP-7467-2 allows any subject wearing any instance of SCP-7467 and SCP-7467-1 to connect, turning them into instances of the SCP-7467-2-A type; if not all instances of SCP-7467-2 are worn, the subject will transmute into an entity of the SCP-7467-2-B type.

When activated, SCP-7467-2 performs a series of neurological and morphological restructuring in the subject that is currently irreversible. Due to the prototypical and incomplete nature of SCP-7467, the ritual does not feature Speckmann Rebound Mechanisms (SRP)11 causing the backlash produced by the activation of SCP-7467 to be redistributed among all subjects carrying non-activated instances of SCP-7467-2 due to a flaw in the original structure of the ritual, generating violent and in some cases lethal morphological changes. Among the most common mutations are:

  1. Development of malignant tumours or teratomas.
  2. Uncontrolled bone growth.
  3. Massive growth of malignant brain mass and enlargement of the skull.
  4. Gangrene in various areas of the body.

Instances


Object Function Hazard
SCP-7467-2-1
  • Mind control.
  • Primary receiver of SCP-7467-1.
The absence of SCP-7467-2-1 prevents cephalic mutations but intensifies all other regions. The subject will exhibit periods of temporary lucidity due to the failure of communication with SCP-7467-1.
SCP-7467-2-2
  • Control of the vocal apparatus.
  • Emergency receiver.
The absence of SCP-7467-2-2 prevents mutations in the cervical region, larynx, and glottis, but intensifies all other regions. The subject will be unable to perform vocal tasks and is prone to asphyxiation due to respiratory failure.
SCP-7467-2-3
  • Motor control of the subject
The absence of SCP-7467-2-3 prevents mutations in the upper extremities and gangrene, but intensifies all other regions. The subject will have difficulty moving and may occasionally become permanently catatonic.
SCP-7467-2-4
  • Resonance with SCP-7467
  • Communication between SCP-7467-2-1/2/3
The absence of SCP-7467-2-4 may prevent SCP-7467 from gaining control of the subject due to the human body's high natural resistance. However, mutations in areas controlled by other instances of SCP-7467-2 would increase to critical levels, causing a high mortality rate due to biological failure.

Parahistory


16th-millenium BCE

beuleva_map.png

(p.7) Approximate territory of the Beulaeva Covenant during the Low Daevic period.

In 15,600 BCE, the first signs of a Homo civilisation began to form in East Asia. Officially known as Proto-Daevas or Beulaevas (eBualeavs)—'ancient Daeva' by the Daevites—they were small nomadic groups made up of Homo Sanguinus that spread across north-western East Asia (p.7) between 15,600 BCE and 15,100 BCE, establishing around 300 colonies.

Given their anomalous nature, by 15,100 BCE the proto-daevas were already beginning to display organised behaviour and superior wisdom, which allowed them to advance and expand their colonies. Using a stolen language12, they developed systems and hierarchies in their societies based on previous nomadic customs: the existence of a main guide (matriarch) and the worship of natural forces. Although it is known that they had thaumaturgical abilities, it would not be until the 13th millennium that they would begin to develop them.

In 15,000 BCE, the most influential leaders among each group of colonies established the first cities that would serve as capitals of their respective reigns, forming the Beulaeva Covenant. In the northeast, Ivurga Xeátxa (Ivurag eXátax) established the capital city of Viálos. Her reign focused on the mining of copper and brass distribution to the covenant. Thanks to the abundant copper deposits in her reign, Ivurga quickly established herself as one of the most influential matriarchs within the Beulaeva Covenant, causing Viálos to stand out above other capitals.

15th-millenium BCE

Ivurga became pregnant three times, but internal conflicts within the covenant led to the early deaths of her children. In 14,640 BCE, Viálos, Nihiḳta Xeátxa, the fourth daughter of Ivurga and first daughter of General Tahluz (aThluz)13, was born. Due to the previous events, Nihiḳta was raised under extreme care, rarely leaving her chambers, a trait that made her quite well known in her city. Nihiḳta was raised by her group of servants, mainly by her caretaker Ḳunnaḳa (Ḳunanaḳ)—A.K.A. Dir. Koenti Xofit'ait—who was colloquially recognised as her second mother.

In the winter of 14,490 BCE, the matriarch Ivurga Xeátxa and General Tahluz were murdered in their chambers in the early hours of the morning in a plot carried out by their servants. Due to differences among the participants in the plot, including the caretaker Ḳunnaḳa, a fight broke out that ended with the deaths of most of the participants. Before they could finish off Nihiḳta, the remaining members were killed by Ḳunnaḳa, who fled the scene with Nihiḳta, covering up the events as a failed assassination attempt perpetrated by non-aligned colonies.

Henma

Henma was a monotheistic proto-religion characterised by belief in and worship of Haḳei: the universe and the concept of 'everything'. Practitioners frequently used brass accessories such as those described in SCP-7467-2, along with other accessories such as symbolic bracelets or pendants. It was not until 14,420 BCE that the use of Kiázaišu (iKáazišu) tattoos or paintings—predecessors of the well-known Tiálḳova (iTálḳoav) tattoos in later Daevite populations—became common in Henma, being used mainly on the upper limbs or face.

Nihiḳta was named the new empress that same morning; she reigned Xeátxavon (eXátaxvon)14 from 14,490 BCE to 14,246 BCE, being the youngest daeva matriarch in history at approximately 150 years old. The early years of Nihiḳta's reign were tyrannical, with more executions for 'treason' than ever before. However, in an unspecified year, Nihiḳta completely changed her ruthless behaviour to a prophetic and devout one, marking a turning point in the Daevite form of government by establishing theocracy for the first time with the Henma (eHnam).

Other notable advances during her reign were the development of thaumaturgy and alchemy for religious and private use by the matriarch Nihiḳta. Although her thaumaturgical potential is unknown, it is believed that she was a Type-II (Sub-Moderate Threat) thaumaturge. After the establishment of the Henma and the appointment of Ḳunnaḳa as high priestess of the Henma, Nihiḳta used thaumaturgy to implant subconscious memes in her followers through iconoglyphs15, this was mainly for the purpose of encouraging the use of Henmic traditions for the execution of SCP-7467. Alongside this, Nihiḳta focused her studies on metallurgy and alchemy and forged a pair of bracelets from Vielium—a new alloy at the time—which she sealed for use with SCP-7467.

On the morning of the summer of 14,247 BCE, during the celebration of VeanhataiDaevite New YearThe Daevite calendar considers the end of the solstices (summer and winter) as the passing of a year, adding the current type of the year to its name:
— Lunar year 3,812 - Solar year 3,813
— Lunar year 15,216 - Solar year 15,217
— Lunar year 22,742 - Solar year 22,743
(eVanahati), the matriarch Nihiḳta recited the poem SCP-7467 as part of her opening speech to the festival. Nearly 4,000 inhabitants of Viálos, along with more than 10,000 inhabitants of other cities within the Beulaeva Covenant, were transmuted into SCP-7467-A and SCP-7467-B entities; Archaeological remains indicate that 30% of those affected died during the initial transmutation. It is theorised that only 5% of the population managed to transmute into SCP-7467-A entities due to the ideal conditions required by SCP-7467 for its correct execution.

The Blind Era

From the summer of 14,247 BCE to the winter of 14,246 BCE, a relentless battle was waged between the forces of the Beulaeva Covenant and the entities of Nihiḳta, which wiped out more than half of the Daeva population of the time. This period was dubbed 'The Blind Era' and culminated in the capture of the city of Viálos and the subsequent assassination of Nihiḳta at the hands of General Fošenra Mixaota (Foešnar iMaxoat). More than 10,000 SCP-7467-A and SCP-7467-B entities were incinerated, and their accessories (SCP-7467-2), along with Nihiḳta and her bracelets (SCP-7467-1), were buried in the catacombs of Haḳei's Temple. Her name would be engraved in Daeva history as 'The Blighted Matriarch', remembered as a traitor to her people.
