SCP-1570 "The Shocked Woman" Object Class: Euclid
This is the audio file for SCP-1570 also known as the Shocked Woman
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Research into full containment of SCP-1570 is ongoing, though
current procedures have been largely successful at controlling manifestations and preventing
public knowledge. Since the last revision of procedures on August 17th 1992, there have
been only fifteen incidents requiring the intervention of MTF Gamma-5 to obscure the
existence of SCP-1570.
Members of MTF Iota-0 "Circle the Squares" are in constant contact with the city councils
of San Francisco CA, Austin TX, and Las Vegas NV, local officials in Tijuana Mexico, and
with the organizers of the Burning Man Festival, to influence the regular scheduling of "counterculture"
demonstrations within a 3000-kilometer range of Site █. This is to create scenarios that
are the most likely to trigger a controlled manifestation of SCP-1570 in locations where
it will go unnoticed, or at least unreported, by members of the public. There must be at
least one organized and monitored event which would normally qualify as public indecency
per month in the regions where MTF Iota-0 operates. If local officials do not authorize
a necessary event, task force members are authorized to proceed, and will be protected
from prosecution.
SCP-1570 itself is contained in the medical wing at Site █. Every three months personnel
must wash SCP-1570 and change its clothing in accordance with current fashion for plus-size
women aged 40 to 60, including accessories.
Description: SCP-1570 is the corpse of Marjory Dornmann, a Caucasian woman who passed away
at the age of 61 on July 21st 1989. Since death her body has not shown any of the natural
stages of decay, and exhibits a stiffness superficially similar to rigor mortis.
The body measures 1.68 meters in length from head to feet, but now only weighs 45 kilograms
despite no apparent loss of mass or density.
SCP-1570 is capable of spontaneously projecting three-dimensional images of itself without
the use of any reflective surfaces or any clear relation between the location of the
projection and itself. The greatest range at which a projection has been discovered
was 4231 kilometers on ██/██/████, coinciding with the anomalous events of that day.
Footnote 1:[REDACTED BY O5]
These projections are usually static and thus far are always broadcast into densely populated
urban areas, although on rare occasions the projections have been mobile (see incident
1570-07 "Mexican Flying Brujah" for an example of the behavior of mobile projections).
The projections are not tangible and will disperse upon physical contact, with the tendency
to re-manifest again nearby. The projections always display any clothing and items smaller
than one cubic meter in volume which are currently in physical contact with SCP-1570. Although
means of preventing the projections have not been discovered, creating ideal circumstances
to draw the attention of SCP-1570 has prevented it from manifesting in areas where it could
be easily discovered and reported.
Transcript of police interview July 22nd 1989:
Officer P████: When was the last time you spoke to your mother?
Beatrice Dornmann: Last night, around 9 PM. We were out to dinner and I called her to
check on her at home. She was watching another one of her tapes and telling me about it.
Officer P████: Was there anything unusual about the conversation?
Beatrice Dornmann: Not really. She had this thing, she loved to tape all the trashy daytime
talk shows and watch them over and over. She was watching that one episode of Geraldo,
"Men in Lace Panties and the Women Who Love Them," that was one of her favorites. When
we came home she was sitting in her recliner staring at the test pattern. I turned the
TV off because I thought she was asleep.
Officer P████: Were her eyes open?
Beatrice Dornmann: Yes, but she always slept like that. And when I came down the next morning
the TV was on again, she was recording Morton Downey Junior. But she didn't answer when
I asked her what she wanted for breakfast, and her skin was cold. That's when we called
you.
After the Foundation recovered SCP-1570 from the local county morgue, Edward and Beatrice
Dornmann were removed from jail and the homicide case started by local authorities was ordered
closed and erased from local records. The Dornmanns were relocated outside of SCP-1570's
area of effect.
Addendum: Analysis of the behavior of SCP-1570's projections suggest an inclination to "observe"
social interaction in dense populations, particularly during displays of public indecency or behavior
that would otherwise be defined as "obscene" by community standards. Capitalizing on this
behavior led to current containment procedure which both controls the phenomena and makes
it less likely to threaten the normalcy of public life.
