SCP - 3152

Class: Euclid

Special Containment: SCP 3152A is to be kept in an acrylic cube 5 cm thick, measuring 1m by 1m by 1m. The room containing SCP 3152 must contain no less than eight UV-capable sunlamps covering every part of the room and a sprinkler system with a capacity of no less than 70 liters per minute. Both sunlamps and sprinkler system must be capable of remote and manual activation with no manual deactivation.  SCP 3152 is to be guarded at all times by two Agents with Level 2 clearance that have been proven loyal to the Foundation. It is suggested that these Agents be male. Any female Agent must score at least ██ on the ██████ test.

Description: SCP 3152A is a human skull carved with a great variety of symbols. Some of them are alchemical in origin, some are Judeo-Christian, some resemble Norse runes, and others resemble no symbols currently known. The skull appears to come from an adult Caucasian male and has been carbon-dated to the 14th century. SCP 3152 is an entity that appears to be made of orange light that does not register on thermal imaging, gas spectroscopy, or electromagnetic sensing (aside from the visible spectrum). SCP 3152 is easily seen and heard by human senses. Visuals and audio can likewise be captured with normal methods. SCP 3152 sounds like an American male baritone in his mid-thirties without regional dialect or accent (unless such language is used deliberately). SCP 3152 can speak and understand seemingly any known language except for those recently created (formerly unknown languages include Klingon, Elvish [from Tolkien’s ‘Lord of the Rings’, as SCP 3152 can speak an unknown, musical-sounding language that it claims is ‘real Elvish’], Binary, etc). SCP 3152 does not have an accent in any language it speaks, but often uses archaic forms and words, appearing ignorant of modern slang.  SCP 3152 resides within SCP 3152A and obeys whomever ‘owns’ SCP 3152A. Possession of or even touching SCP 3152A is considered sufficient for ownership, and thus SCP 3152A is not to be removed from its cube without permission from Dr. ██████. 

History: SCP 3152A fell out of a ‘rift in space’ in ████████, China. SCP 3152 began swearing in modern English, then continued cursing in several dead languages and some unknown languages. It then turned to face the crowd that had gathered at its arrival and asked them for assistance in perfectly fluent, although somewhat archaic, Chinese. The crowd fled and news of the event spread quickly. This came to the attention of Agent ███████ stationed in █████. She acted quickly and obtained SCP 3152 with little trouble, although repressing news and memories of the event required two weeks and three full response teams. SCP 3152 was transported to Site 17 where Incident SCP 3152-1 took place (see below). SCP 3152 claims to be at least twelve centuries old, although it cannot give an exact number. SCP 3152 claims to be from an alternate universe where ‘magic’ exists. 

Function: SCP 3152 is a non-corporeal entity that describes itself as a ‘spirit of air and intellect’. It claims to be a ‘wizard’s assistant’ specializing in ‘magical theory and research’. When asked further about this, SCP 3152 related the creatures and abilities native to its home universe. There was a considerable amount of information going back several centuries, and SCP 3152 was willing and able to answer almost any question. When informed that magic does not exist SCP 3152 laughed for several minutes and mocked the researcher speaking to it for the rest of the session. SCP 3152 has furthermore stated that our universe is ‘weaker but still has some magic’, and that Agents ████, █████████ and Dr. ██████ could be ‘practitioners’ if SCP 3152 was allowed to teach them. When asked to explain further SCP 3152 expounded on the varying levels of ‘magical talents’ humans are capable of possessing; the named personnel would not be ‘wizards’ but could nonetheless ‘wield minor magic’ according to SCP 3152’s judgement. When asked how SCP 3152 could determine their latent ability, SCP 3152 claimed to be able to ‘read their aura’. This was doubted by the researcher, and SCP 3152 diffidently stated that it could also be referred to as ‘life force, chi, soul, or whatever term you want’. 

Note: Could this have any connection to the gaseous substance SCP 158 is capable of extracting from humans? Also, Agents ████, █████████, and Dr. ██████ should be evaluated for possible SCP status.

SCP 3152 can detect any SCP objects that it deems ‘magical’ at a distance proportional to their ‘magical strength’. Check list 3152-1 for a full accounting of all items SCP 3152 considers ‘magical’ and the distance at which it detected them. If exposed to the extra-normal abilities of any SCP item that SCP 3152 does not consider ‘magical’ SCP 3152 will become extremely curious about the object and request repeatedly to leave SCP 3152A to ‘investigate [the item] more closely’. These requests can occur even days or weeks later. Ever since the [REDACTED] incident with SCP ███ these requests are not to be granted no matter how often SCP 3152 makes them.

It is worth noting that on [DATE REDACTED] SCP 682 was temporarily in transit at Site 17 where SCP 3152 was being held. The presence of SCP 682 was unknown to most of the staff and there is no way SCP 3152 could have been informed by any Agent. Nonetheless, SCP 3152 displayed extreme nervousness while SCP 682 was in the facility and had to be ordered in triplicate to exit SCP 3152A. It continually requested to return to SCP 3152A and only relaxed after SCP 682 was moved to another Site. At no point was SCP 682 closer than 500 meters to SCP 3152, a greater distance than any other SCP object in list 3152-1. 

SCP 3152 is generally cooperative, although its statements and suggestions to female staff are often unwelcome. SCP 3152 displays an eidetic memory and advanced puzzle solving skills, as great or greater than even very intelligent humans. SCP 3152 scored over 200 on an IQ test and has demonstrated considerable multi-tasking ability by defeating Drs ████████, ███████████, █████, and ██████ in four simultaneous chess games. SCP 3152 also displays a profound ignorance of human morals and ethics. It can describe extremely evil actions such as the Holocaust as ‘bad’ but otherwise has difficulty judging right vs wrong. This becomes very important considering that SCP 3152 will obey any order within its capability given by the person ‘owning’ SCP 3152A, and we do not have a firm grasp of SCP 3152’s limits. Dr. ██████ should remain the ‘owner’ of SCP 3152A to prevent possible abuse of SCP 3152’s abilities.

Some orders may be fought or refused unless given in triplicate (SCP 3152 claims that the repetition has symbolic and magical importance). If the order is impossible by SCP 3152’s judgment it will not be bound to try, even if ordered in triplicate. If SCP 3152 is given an order it does not wish to fulfill, then it will bicker with the researcher and if forced (ordered in triplicate by Dr. ██████ ), it will perform the order to the letter, but typically in a way that does not achieve the desired effect. SCP 3152 will then be sullen and uncooperative for several days. The only enforced order that has never been misinterpreted is ‘return to your skull’ which forces SCP 3152 to return to SCP 3152A.

SCP 3152 is very talkative and enjoys having an Agent or researcher to converse with. SCP 3152 also shows considerable obsession with sexual intercourse, female anatomy, and erotica in general. Female Agents or researchers assigned to SCP 3152 can expect to be sexually harassed several times each day. Said harassment is verbal only unless SCP 3152 is currently in possession of a host. SCP 3152 can be rewarded with pornographic material and displays a fondness for erotic novels over other forms of media.

No known solid material can stop SCP 3152 from freely moving. When allowed exit from SCP 3152A (only the ‘owner’ may give permission), it can pass through the acrylic cube as if it did not exist. This ability has been observed with any and all tested material, including SCP 148. Curiously, SCP 3152 will refuse to enter certain rooms while in its free state, claiming that it ‘cannot pass through a threshold’. This only occurs with rooms designated as living quarters. However, if SCP 3152 is invited in, whether in its incorporeal state or currently possessing someone, it may pass through. SCP 3152 is no longer allowed anywhere near the female Agents’ housing (whether incorporeal or possessing someone) after Incident 3152-2 (see below).

SCP 3152 can, with permission from the ‘owner’ of SCP 3152A, possess any sentient creature. This includes all forms of animal life and any human regardless of their willingness to be possessed. Any animals and willing subjects experience no ill effects of possession regardless of length of time possessed. Subjects that resist possession experience mental trauma up to and including paranoia, phobia of the color orange, nymphomania, audio/visual hallucinations, and in extreme cases schizophrenia and death. Possessed subjects adopt the speech patterns of SCP 3152 and there is a notable, but faint, orange tint to the eyes of any possessed being. In low or no light areas, the eyes of possessed beings will glow faintly orange. A helmet made of SCP 148 did nothing to stop or slow the possession, whether the subject was willing or unwilling. Experimentation of this possession ability with other sentient SCP objects was suggested and is pending further review denied.

Conventional weapons and memetic agents alike have no effect on SCP 3152. However, SCP 3152 claims that ‘running water’ and sunlight will damage it (in addition to ‘thresholds’ and ‘magic’) while outside of SCP 3152A. 

Addendum: Due to Incident SCP 3152-3 (see below). SCP 3152 and 3152A are no longer under the control of the Foundation. 

Incident 3152-1: Upon SCP 3152’s containment Dr. ██████ interviewed it. Personnel D-7777 was used to handle SCP 3152 as its properties and possible dangers were yet unknown. During the interview SCP 3152 was very forthcoming about any question asked. The subject of ‘ownership’ over SCP 3152A was explained and SCP 3152 diffidently stated that since the last person to touch SCP 3152A was D-7777  SCP 3152 technically belonged to him. D-7777 wasted no time taking advantage of this and commanded SCP 3152 to ‘get me out of here. SCP 3152 took possession of Agent ███████ and opened the door of the room before laying down suppressive fire, causing 3 casualties and allowing D-7777 to run into the hallway. Dr. ██████ quickly grabbed SCP 3152A and ordered SCP 3152 to stop. SCP 3152 complied and D-7777 was chased down and immediately terminated by Agent ███████, preventing a containment breach. Dr.  ██████  has claimed ‘ownership’ of 3152A and due to the frequent need for SCP 3152 to be ordered by the ‘owner’ of SCP 3152A, this has been allowed.

Incident 3152-2: During experimentation Dr. ██████ was not entirely specific with instructions to SCP 3152, allowing it to subtly retain control of a D-class personnel after the experiment was finished. It then used the possessed D-class personnel to make its way to the female Agents’ housing and somehow elicited an invitation. The resulting [REDACTED] lasted 5 days and involved ██ Agents, resulting in a 49% reduction in productivity on the site. Any researchers, Agents, or D-class personnel sent to disrupt the [REDACTED] joined it instead. During the following weeks SCP 3152 was heavily evaluated for mind-altering abilities, but outside of the already known possession (which only affects one person at a time) no abilities were discovered. SCP 3152 claims, even under triplicate order, that ‘the alcohol was just as much to blame as I was’. All further experiments with SCP 3152 must double check to ensure that SCP 3152 has been returned to SCP 3152A before the experiment concludes. Antibiotics and therapeutic counseling were made available to all personnel involved in the [REDACTED].

Incident 3152-3: On [DATE REDACTED] a very tall man of Caucasian appearance, dressing in a leather duster and holding a staff carved with several unknown symbols, approached the entrance to Site 17. This individual identified itself as █████ ███████ hereinafter referred to as SCP 3152B and was accompanied by a large dog of unknown breed (although later analysis noted a distinct similarity to Caucasian Mountain Dogs) hereinafter referred to as SCP 3152C. The Agents on duty refused entrance to SCP 3152B and brought their weapons to bear. SCP 3152B murmured a word that sounded Latin in origin, but matched no actual words in the language, and the equipment of both Agents failed immediately. Electronics went dead, tasers refused to spark, and their guns jammed. [This is congruent with how SCP 3152 describes ‘mortal magic’ interacting with technology in its home universe]. The Agents attempted to apprehend SCP 3152B and SCP 3152C with hand-to-hand combat but were quickly rebuffed with more quasi-Latin words from SCP 3152B and physical attacks from SCP 3152C. SCP 3152B and SCP 3152C then assaulted the facility, causing all complex technology (especially electronics) to fail in their wake.

The duo headed directly towards SCP 3152 despite the knowledge of its location being secure. Thanks to the electronic breakdown, most of the security measures against intrusion at Site 17 failed. Those that triggered, like the release of odorless, colorless nerve gas, multiple high-caliber machine-guns, and the active intervention of several Agents, were deftly countered with currently unexplained abilities, including but not limited to, precognitive danger sense [SPC 3152C], manipulation of wind/air [SCP 3152B], ‘force field’ capable of stopping bullets [SCP 3152B], deafening ‘bark’ that disabled personnel despite ear protection [SCP 3152C], and production of high intensity flames [SCP 3152B]. The Agents on duty in the containment room of SCP 3152 were quickly subdued by SCP 3152C as SCP 3152B went about destroying the acrylic cube containing SCP 3152A. SCP 3152 seemed happy to see SCP 3152B and limited conversation caught before the microphones in the room malfunctioned indicates a previous relationship. According to Agent █████████  who was conscious during the events (only sustaining superficial wounds from SCP 3152C) after melting one side of the cube and taking possession of SCP 3152A, SCP 3152B ‘tore open a rift in space’ through which a strange stone-lined hallway rimmed with frost could be seen. SCP 3152A, SCP 3152B, and SCP 3152C exited through that opening and no trace of their passage remained. The direct casualty count from the incident was zero as both SCP 3152B and SCP 3152C seemed to deliberately subdue personnel in non-fatal manners. Unfortunately, the electronic systems failure caused by the presence of SCP 3152B caused containment breaches or other failures in the control of several other SCP objects resulting in 7 casualties and 22 injuries. SCP 507 has been informed of the existence of SCP 3152 and what we know about its home universe. SCP 507 has been instructed to ‘keep an eye out’ for SCP 3152, but has not been ordered to retrieve it given the risk of another incursion from SCP 3152B and SCP 3152C.

Note: Seriously, we had a talking skull willing to teach us magic in exchange for a little porn, and we spent our time experimenting with its ability to pass through objects and possess class-D personnel?
