MK-S: Here’s that thing I’ve been working on. And I think I’ll happily sign my account on this one. (Hopefully I get everyone a little interested in SCP.) Bravo to mischievous-platty for making such an interesting (and inspiring) Witch design. Without further ado, I present to you:
SCP-343-PM: Amalthea, The Lunar Witch
Special Containment Procedures: The property containing SCP-343, as well as surrounding properties, have been acquired by Foundation front companies, and been assigned the designation Site 26. The perimeter of SCP-343 is to be patrolled by no fewer than four (4) armed security personnel. Security staff are to terminate any individual instances of SCP-343-1 encountered during the course of their patrol. Any civilians attempting to enter Site 26 are to be questioned and administered amnestics as needed.
Should three (3) or more instances of SCP-343-1 be located outside of SCP-343 by members of onsite security, said personal are to withdraw and Mobile Task Force Pi-1 ("City Slickers") is to be deployed to terminate all detected SCP-343-1 instances.
Three (3) Scranton Reality Anchors (SRAs) are to be on standby, evenly placed around SCP-343, and activated in the event that the perimeter of SCP-343 begins to increase. Should any of the SRAs fail, or should SCP-343-3 attempt to exit SCP-343, a breach of containment is to be declared immediately. MTF Omega-12 (“Achilles’ Heels”) is to be deployed if SCP-343-3 successfully exits SCP-343, and are to engage SCP-343-3 until it reestablishes SCP-343. Should personnel or civilian casualties exceed acceptable limits during this time, Omega-12 is authorized to neutralize SCP-343-3.
Description: SCP-343 is a spatial anomaly located in the [REDACTED] Planetarium in Mitakihara, Japan. The anomaly’s exterior dimensions measure about 9 cubic meters, while its interior dimensions are at least [REDACTED] cubic kilometers. The interior ceiling of SCP-343 displays an accurate depiction of the night sky. This depiction has a notable absence of light pollution from the surrounding city, and always shows the sky from a nighttime perspective, regardless of the actual time of day. No representation of the Sun is depicted in any noticeable way. It is unclear why the depiction of the moon is always in its Full phase.
SCP-343-1 resemble animate, commercial grade telescopes. Instances feature a tubular body, with a single set of thin arms and legs. These are the only entries that have been documented as leaving SCP-343. SCP-343-1 instances are hostile to all human life that enters that are not under the influence of SCP-343-1A. Instances attack primary through means of clawing at targets, stomping, and in at least one documented instance [REDACTED]. SCP-343-1 instances will occasionally exit SCP-343 and attempt to infect the nearest human humans within a 3.8 km radius of SCP-343 with SCP-343-1A.
SCP-343-1A is a symbol typical applied onto the neck of a human target by SCP-343-1 instances. Through currently unknown means, SCP-343-1A is able to manipulate humans into seeking out SCP-343-3. D-Class personnel infected with SCP-343-1A have demonstrated innate knowledge of the layout of SCP-343, and the current location of SCP-343-3. Upon arriving at SCP-343-3 D-Class personnel [REDACTED]. As of 8/2/██ subsequent use of D-Class personnel to research the effects of SCP-343-1A has been prohibited by the Ethics Committee.
SCP-343-2 refers to luminescent entities that cling to the ceiling of SCP-343’s interior space. Due to the intense brightness produced by SCP-343-2, their exact appearance is currently unknown. Upon entering SCP-343, instances of SCP-343-2 will produce sounds similar to a bell chime. This is currently hypothesized to act as some form of perimeter alarm, but has yet to trigger any notable effect. Instances of SCP-343-2 appear docile, preferring to flee from Foundation personnel and offering no resistance when cornered. Like SCP-343-1, instances of SCP-343-2 dissolve upon death. Vivisection of a captured SCP-343-2 instance revealed that its insides were entirely composed of the same luminous substance visible on its exterior. The means by which SCP-343-2 is able to produce sound was unable to be located during vivisection.
SCP-343-3 is a single vaguely humanoid entity residing within SCP-343 estimated to be about 24 meters in height. Its head is a narrow, ellipsoidal shape, with one end (presumed to be the back of its head) coming to a conical point, and the other ending in a more flat surface. SCP-343-3’s body is split into two distinctly colored halves; its right half appears to be reminiscent of the substance composing SCP-343-2 while its left half appears to be a black version of this material. Inspections of SCP-343-3’s head via remote drones have shown that it is constantly “gazing” at the stars visible within SCP-343. Testing using drone lights to gauge SCP-343-3’s reactions have proven inconclusive. At this time it is unknown if SCP-343-3 is choosing to ignore visual stimuli from testing, or if the entity is blind. Scp-343-3’s arms are disproportionately long for its body estimated at 18 meters in length. The base of SCP-343-3 is noticeably devoid of light, appearing as a sort of “gap” in space. Three sets of three ringed structures are visible hovering around SCP-343-3, located around each wrist and above the entity’s head. How each ring hovers is unknown. Each of the nine rings contains a depiction of one the nine planets in our solar system (prior to [DATA EXPUNGED] after which Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet).
Of particular note is that the planetary model of Jupiter appears to be an accurate, real-time scale model of the actual planet and all items within its orbit. Proposals to restrain SCP-343-3 for the purpose of utilizing this feature to better observe SCP-2399 are currently under review.
Discovery: SCP-343 was discovered on 6/22/██ following the disappearance of two local officers, last reported as having seen [REDACTED] a local missing girl (henceforth Person Of Interest POI-3948) entering the Planetarium. The last radio transmission of one of the officers was transmitted to Foundation agents embedded in the Mitakihara City police force; agents did not relay this message to local officials, instead contacting Foundation assets to report potentially anomalous events occurring in the loss of at least two civilians at the Planetarium.
POI-3948’s home was investigated per standard Foundation information gathering procedures. Her parents reported that their daughter had a fondness for the Planetarium, prior to its closing in 20██. The youngest child, age approximately 11 years, claimed she’d seen her sister preforming magic after [DATA EXPUNGED]. Subsequent investigations revealed no traces of thaumaturgy, however Kant counters did detect slightly elevated Hume levels. The family was subsequently amnesticized and successfully relocated following use of standard “Hazardous Mold” cover story.
POI-3948 is currently wanted by the Foundation for questioning regarding her potential involvement in the summoning or creation of SCP-343-3. At time of writing, the whereabouts of POI-3948 are unknown.
@mischievous-platty LOOK BESTIE, LOOK AT THIS!!!
