Item #: SCP-S
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-S instances are to be kept on operational standby in orbit around Earth. Research onto the exact details of its construction are currently underway.
Efforts to find other SCP-S instances are currently underway.
Description: SCP-S is a previously unknown array of kinetic bombardment stations in orbit around Earth. Each station utilizes altered Scranton Reality Anchors as ammunition instead of tungsten rods. This alteration would most likely cause the impact of this object to result in the sudden and significant decrease in humes in the area, along with the impact of the massive hume-dense object.
SCP-S was discovered when a previously unknown room in the basement of Site-37 was found during site expansion efforts. The room served as both an archive and launch room for all SCP-S instances. The room had suffered from significant fire damage, rendering most of the archives lost and the launch computers dysfunctional. However, enough documents were left intact to allow the Foundation to find the initial SCP-S instances and subsequently repair the launch terminal.
The recovered documents refer to SCP-S as the 'Seraphim Array,' sanctioned in 1928 and completed in 1935. The documents make reference to other projects being completed and even used within this time frame. Exact details of these other projects are unknown, but it is suspected that these projects had to do with the manipulation of humes.
The reasons for the construction of SCP-S is unknown. However, several documents make reference to an 'anomaly,' but never go into detail. Research into this anomaly is currently underway.
The terminal indicates that a total of 30 stations were created. Currently, 14 stations have been discovered. These stations have been repaired and are now apart of the Foundation arsenal.
Data found from terminals within SCP-S indicate that they have been used a total of 28 times, with impact points located across Europe and America.
Most of the points of impact have no notable properties, aside from a slightly elevated hume level. However, investigation of one site of impact, referred to as Area-S, located near Dunlap, Illinois, revealed a partially intact Foundation site buried beneath the ground. While much of the site was destroyed, many of the rooms and hallways were left intact. Much of the facility had been stripped of all electronic and mechanical, only leaving behind the structural skeleton.
An archive room was found to be found fully intact, most likely due to it being intentionally hidden. Due to the methods of archival at the time, however, only a single audio log was able to be recovered from the room. A transcript of its contents can be seen below.

Item #: SCP-S-1
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-S-1 is only to be activated following an unanimous vote by all standing members of the O5 council. Research into the exact specifications and reason for its construction are currently underway.
Description: SCP-S-1 is a metallic sphere held in place by six trigonal-pyramids discovered below Site-37. Each of the pyramids levitate 90° away from each other, the vertex of each positioned approximately 3 cm away from the sphere in the center. It is unknown how the pyramids maintain their position.
Documents found deep within Area-S indicate that when activated, SCP-S-1 would form a hume singularity, something previously thought to be impossible to produce. This singularity would have an infinite hume density, which depending on the 'mass' of the singularity, would reduce the hume levels in a specified area to zero. While low hume environments are somewhat understood, a zero-hume area or object has never been encountered.
The leading theory suggests that the creation of such a hume environment would result in the cessation of existence within the area, apart from the singularity located in the center. It is suspected that such an area would be permanent, should it be created.
Another theory, building upon the previous one, suggest that such an area could lead to a chain reaction possibly resulting in an ZK-Class end of reality scenario.
Addendum-S-1: There is no documentation as to how SCP-S-1 was created or came into the possession of the Foundation. In fact, Documents indicate that two of these machines were built, despite the fact that only one is in the possession of the Foundation. These same documents also transportation procedures for SCP-S-1 from a currently non-existent Site-13 to its current location.
Instance |
Name |
Intended Use |
Current Status |
SCP-S-1 |
Scranton Reality Anchor |
Stabilization of humes in a specific through the use of a combination of dimensional breaching and hume collection technology. |
Currently a vital aspect in the containment of multiple SCP objects. |
SCP-S-2 |
Scranton Reality Anchor Spears |
Causing a rapid decrease of hume levels in a specific area, normally a contained dimensional pathway. |
Temporary stabilization of hume levels during the exploration of hazardous hume environments. |
SCP-S-3 |
Localized Hume Containment Suit |
Creating a local hume environment around a single individual in order to take advantage of the increased pain tolerance and increased durability of the human body created by the low hume environment. |
Used to allow personnel to safely explore hazardous hume environments. |
SCP-S-4 |
Hume Dense Ammunition |
To counteract enemy units utilizing either SCP-S-3 or -2 due to the elevated hume levels of the material used within the ammunition causing a rapid increase of humes within the area hit. |
Combat versus reality-altering entities. |
SCP-S-5 |
Hume Fragmentation Device |
The rapid and extreme increase of hume levels in the direct proximity of the device's blast radius. Additionally, it caused longer lasting areas of elevated humes, which resulted in effects opposite those found within exceptionally low hume areas. |
Combat versus reality-altering entities within hazardous hume environments. |
SCP-S-6 |
Hume Elevation Device |
SCP-S-6 would elevate humes significantly within a large area, which would be followed up by a team equipped with SCP-S-3. |
Long term or permanent stabilization of hume levels within a hazardous hume environment. Previous areas irradiated by SCP-S-6 are under containment by respective GoIs under the guise of nuclear fallout. |
SCP-S-7 |
Rocket Propelled Hume Fragmentation Device |
Extended range and effectiveness over SCP-S-5. |
Extreme cases of contact with high level reality-altering entities. |
SCP-S-8 |
SRA Artillery |
Chemically propulsed shells of high-caliber hume-irradiated ammunition across large distances to function as a deterrent against SCP-S-6 teams, as well as rapid shelling of large areas to prevent access to an area. |
Installed within several facilities which might require large-scale deterrent against reality altering entities. |
SCP-S-9 |
Hume Infusion Device |
Cybernetic enhancements to permanently induce a heightened hume state, artificially creating an entity able to alter reality. 11 people across all involved parties were put through the procedure. 5 of the test subject were killed by the enhancements, while the remaining 6 were successfully given reality altering capabilities. However, of these 6, only three of these entities were given significant abilities. |
5 out of the 6 original subject have been either killed or successfully captured. 1 instance remains outside of the control of all involved GoIs. Current whereabouts are unknown. |
SCP-S-10 |
SRA Tank |
Through the usage of hume-dense plating and modified SCP-S-8 instances, SCP-S-10 would function as an anti-siege device, breaching enemy defenses which utilized other SCP-S instances. |
Remaining instances currently in containment, pending destruction. |
SCP-S-11 |
Hume Railgun |
Rapid acceleration of a massive hume-irradiated object through the usage of electromagnetic propulsion towards the intended target, most commonly SCP-S-8. |
Currently installed within several facilities as a preventative measure in the case of the incursion of high-level reality altering entities. |
<ihpkmn> Varaxous: I like this, though I wonder where Germany got the tech
[STUFF]
<ihpkmn> Hmm. Fair enough.
<ihpkmn> Not really! More occult/pre occult war stuff is always appreciated
<ihpkmn> Would upboat
DrChandra> I don't think you're using the term Hume correctly. Humes are a measurement of reality, not units of reality. You can't suck humes out of reality anymore than you can suck decibelles out of a sound.
<Varaxous> Hm. I'll see if I can tweak that out
<DrChandra> So this draft is a little rough, but I think you know that since there are still place holders hear and there, but after one reading I wasn't sure exactly what these things were doing. I had a vague sense of creating Ways, but not to where or why. I also don't think the Foundation would use the term ways in a document.
<Varaxous> Well that's not good since that's the exact opposite of what they're doing. As for the Ways, I thought I edited them out so those are just some leftovers.
<Varaxous> Yeah that's mb.
<Varaxous> Alright then I have some idea of what to polish. As for your draft, I liked it, with just one minor issue
<DrChandra> You keep mentioning pathways before explaining what they are.
[Reviwed again and liked it]
<Varaxous> A few days ago, I posted 3173 (the SRA spears) and then deleted it later. I am looking to improve it and I was wondering if you could give me a brief overview of why you downvoted.
<Modern_Erasmus> Of course
<Modern_Erasmus> It felt like you got away from the core concept and tried to cram too many plot elements into the piece without doing any of them justice individually
