Item #: 9271
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The honoured dead are to be exhumed and disposed of in ritually unclean locations (e.g. middens, industrial crematoria, or meatpacking plants) as available. Oracles, sibyls, mediums, and other classes of necromancer are to be amnesticised or, if their abilities are involuntary, terminated for humanitarian purposes. Furthermore, Foundation front companies are to promote deurbanisation and lower population density as to minimise the impact of necrotic audiovisual pollution on living human society.
Description: SCP-9271 is the newly dominant moral framework of the universe as of 25/06/1950. It determines the fate of all sapient souls after death, sorting them into a variety of paradisiacal afterlives according to their actions in life. These afterlives are constructed as rewards for a variety of ethical principles as understood by SCP-9271-A.
SCP-9271-A are the intelligent inhabitants of Kepler-138c, a water-covered world some 219 lightyears from Earth. A species of pisciform obligate filial cannibals that spawn in broods of around 80,000, SCP-9271-A typically fed on native meiofauna. For most of their history, lack of sufficient prey and relatively heavy parasitism (the average historical SCP-9271-A instance was composed of only 40% parasites by mass, but could sustain little more) kept their numbers low.
However, on 14/06/1950 an anomalous technique was discovered by their priestly classes that allowed instances to filterfeed across universes. This immediately allowed an enormous amount of biomass into the ecological cycles of Kepler-138c, which was mostly monopolised by SCP-9271-A. They now saturate every body of water on the planet, and though population varies cyclically, rarely does it fall below 3 quintillion.
SCP-9271-B, which is expected to become audible to human hearing circa 2030, is the rising wailing present in every graveyard on Earth.
