Cranium of SCP-7532-19, lined with Telekill alloy to prevent psychic intrusion.
ITEM #:
7532
CONTAINMENT CLASS:
SAFE
The Child will be the Light that pierces the darkness. She's the Soldier in the war of God. Where so many have failed, She shall prosper.
Special Containment Procedures: All personnel interacting with SCP-7532 are to take the normative precautions of biological, pistiphagous and spectral hazards. Forensic and historical investigations into the nature and origin of SCP-7532 are to continue as normal.
Description: SCP-7532 are between 40 and 60 bodies in various degrees of completeness and decomposition found within a mass grave under Site-137.
The main anomalous trait all SCP-7532 instances share is the siphoning of radiation from the Akiva Field into themselves.1 This pistiphagia2 causes a slight feeling of "hopelessness" and "dread" but otherwise has no ill-effects for bystanders.
A sizable amount (roughly 40%) of the individual SCP-7532 instances found have abnormal physiologies or manifest anomalous postmortem activities. A list of representative SCP-7532 instances has been transcribed below.
| Instance of SCP-7532 | Estimated Age3 | Estimated Period4 | Anomaly |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCP-7532-1 | 4 months | 1864 | N/A |
| SCP-7532-4 | 1 year | 1700s | An iron nail has been driven through its skull. Scraps of iron and bronze found inside its cranium and rib cage. |
| SCP-7532-6 | 6 months old | 1700s | Dairy products in a 2 meter radius of the instance curdle at an accelerated rate. |
| SCP-7532-10 | 1 year | 1600s | Presents evidences of ritual beheading in accordance with the cult of Marcolane Cephalophore. |
| SCP-7532-11 | 3 months | 1600s | Mummified remains. Evidence of stigmata all across the body. |
| SCP-7532-13 | 7 years | 1500s | Heart hasn't decayed and still beats5 even if it has been punctured at some point. Furthermore, faint psychic emanations transmit images identified with the Mexica afterlife of Mictlan to anyone who falls asleep close to the instance. |
| SCP-7532-16 and SCP-7532-17 | 10 week old fetus | 1500s | N/A |
| SCP-7532-20 | N/A | 1400s | Large bone outgrowths consistent with Sarkic carnomantic remains are present in this specimen. |
| SCP-7532-24 | 2 years | 1400s | Only cremated instance. Kept in an urn decorated with a Icthys symbol. |
| SCP-7532-29 | 4 years | 1300s | Traces of an unidentified text in Andalusi Arabic are inscribed on the ribs and the skull. The writing presents many errors that make its identification difficult. |
| SCP-7532-33 | 1 year | 1300s | Once a year, an ontokinetic outburst causes any unprotected material that could be considered "bread" in a 100 meter radius to duplicate. |
Members of the Order of Borja y Aragón in the future Site-137.
The presence of SCP-7532 within the lower levels of Site-137 was discovered in 2009, during the exploration of the extensive catacombs dating from the medieval period found there. The chamber where SCP-7532 was found showed evidence of many centuries of use and habitation, including remains of food, documents and candles. Activity stops around the end of the 19th century, when the chamber was sealed.
Addendum 7532-1:
In 2011, Dr. Diego Orbach unveiled archival documents from the Knights of the Military Order of Borja y Aragón6 revealing that they were responsible for containing the anomaly. Relevant documentation is reproduced below:
Letter: Don Juan de Avellanedos, 1402
Grand Master,
I arrived to the place that was foretold. It is with sorrow in my heart that I announce that the Child was sick, and cried without stop. As has been known to be usual, the mother was reluctant to parting ways with Him, even when I told her that she will be considered a Saint. When she still refused, I took the Babe from her bosom and paid her handsomely for her troubles. Though the Gran Maestre may consider that paying for such a sanctified endeavour is unbecoming, I consider it is necessary to prevent the corruption of His flesh and secure our victory.
Sadly, the Child passed away two days after, when we were passing through Aldeatellada. I suspect the dearth caused by the travels were the cause of His demise. I have sent this messenger beforehand from the Salamanca chapterhouse. I shall stay here while the Corpse is duly prepared for my voyage to the main chapterhouse.
Chronicle of the Conquest of New Spain: Father Jeremias Torres, 1524
The girl we found in the heathens' village had been marked by the Beast, as foretold. Brother Alfonso was of the opinion that we had arrived too late and that power of the accursed enemy already hung tight to her flesh. We could not fathom, as the Escathon creeps ever closer, that such a godly presence in this world would stand amongst our foes. We had no other option but to kill her before she became too much of a problem for Him. The village was outraged, and the soldiers massacred them too. The unholy spirits living within kept her heart still beating and her body still spasming. Following orders of the Viceroy, she would be embalmed and sent to Castillia for safekeeping.
Letter: Rodrigo Fuentes, 1854
Grand Master, it is my greatest honor to announce that, after centuries of searching, we have found the Child. She is strong and healthy and as predicted, lives in a family of great faith. According to her Mother, she had been blessed with the visions of her Child and the light within her.
The Sisters have agreed to protect the Living Saint and she shall come to us when the time has been deemed to be right. Days of reckoning are upon us and, with due guidance, She will be the Light that pierces the darkness.
Letter: Sofia Maria de Jesús Luz, 1864
As I detailed in my last letter, which I hope you received and read thoroughly, a new prophecy has been divined which places the birth of the Beast under the shadow of Saint Nicolás in the town of Portomarín. As divinely ordained, and under the authority of queen Isabel, the child shall be eliminated, for we can't allow the heathenry to prosper in our lands.
I hope you have no qualms in carrying this business. You must understand, the time of reckoning is upon us. There is a war coming, one that will end all wars and I will not stand for an enemy of our Order to be born under my watch.
I await your report on the situation soon.
Addendum 7532-2:
Following the reports of Dr. Enoch Thompson, a fragment of apocryphal scripture describing the apocalypse was flagged in relation to SCP-7532.
And I saw the lamb be born amongst the peoples of the west, where the son of Zebedee lies. And angels protected the lamb for when it wasn't protected it fell to the earthly machinations. When the lamb was grown untainted I saw it rise to the sky upon the first seal.
Furthermore, analysis by the Tactical Theology Dpt. and the Dpt. of Presumptive Divination has determined that the likelihood of the realization of the prophetic events described before have always been near 0%. Following this announcement, research upon the origins and history of SCP-7532 has been halted by order of O5-2.
