item #: SCP-1514
object class: keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1514-1A is contained at Secure Bunker-███. SCP-1514-1B's
status is to be monitored at all times, and any fluctuation of its homeostatic state beyond
standard deviations is to be reported immediately. SCP-1514-1A's components are not to be tampered
with, and any action beyond routine inspection of the device is to be met with immediate
termination. Exactly 1 Level 2 or higher personnel with an appropriate engineering background
is to inspect these components once every 20 minutes to ensure their continued function.
Should said personnel breach protocol, the batrachotoxin collar equipped to them must
be remotely activated. No personnel are permitted to enter SCP-1514-1A's containment chamber
outside of scheduled or emergency inspections.
While SCP-1514-2 largely isolate themselves from public awareness, Foundation agents within
all major astronomical associations are to detect and disguise any instance of their
discovery.
Should the signal being transmitted by SCP-1514-1A cease, whether by the destruction of SCP-1514-1A
itself or otherwise, Procedure-083-Onager must be implemented. Failure to do so is likely
to result in an XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario.
Description: SCP-1514 is a nuclear deterrent system developed by ███████████ in
association with the United States government in 1983. Its development and deployment was
disguised by the publicly announced Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), disparagingly known
as "Star Wars", which was put forth by then-President Ronald Reagan during the same year. Officially,
SCP-1514 is known as SDI-██ System "Xye", and numerous components of it were developed
by legitimate SDI research and development groups (namely Project Excalibur-██).
Known records indicate that the system was functional from 198█ to 198█, at which
point the artifact's malfunctions and subsequent investigation by the Unusual Incidents Unit
(UIU), Federal Bureau of Investigation brought SCP-1514 to the Foundation's attention.
SCP-1514-1A is a 1.5m x 0.9m x 0.6m device comprised mainly of steel. Various instruments
along its exterior display the homeostatic state of an entity (SCP-1514-1B) currently
residing inside the device. SCP-1514-1A is powered by an unknown internal source, and
contains what is believed to be a sophisticated life-support system utilizing an unidentified
dark red liquid. Due to the inherent risks of tampering with the device (see below),
details regarding SCP-1514-1B and the life-support system are unclear or speculative. The remaining
instruments belong to an interface system designed to input and receive data from SCP-1514-1B.
Information on SCP-1514-2 is limited and has thus far only been provided by documentation
received from the UIU, [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] (see DOCUMENT-SCP-1514-RM4 for details). However,
it is confirmed that SCP-1514-2 are a series of ██ satellites currently in orbit around
Earth. Superficially they resemble the [REDACTED] satellite, with what is believed to be an
array of 12 tactical X-ray laser (xaser) devices attached to the anterior side. The solar panels
visible on SCP-1514-2 instances are reported to be fake, as the satellites' propulsion
and weapon systems are powered by an alternative, anomalous source. Design specifications indicate
the xaser system was originally to be utilized for disabling Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles
(ICBMs), though targeting algorithms do exist for ground-based targets.
SCP-1514-1A generates an anomalous radio transmission once every hour, broadcasting to the nearest
SCP-1514-2 instance. This transmission cannot be deterred or disrupted through any known
method, including Faraday cage structures. According to documentation provided by [REDACTED],
failure to receive this signal for a period lasting longer than 36 hours constitutes the
immediate and autonomous implementation of the Coronet Contingency, causing all SCP-1514-2
instances to fire upon their preset land-based targets. Due to the scope of the Coronet Contingency,
which was engineered by ███████████ and is far more extensive than was intended by
the US government, this event has been deemed a probable XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario.
Information from [REDACTED] has indicated that several components of SCP-1514 were developed
by ███████████ through CIA Project M██████ between 196█
and 196█, though it is unknown what the original purpose of these components were
(see DOCUMENT-SCP-1514-RM27 for details).
SCP-1514-1A's interface is currently unresponsive to input, rendering all manual offensive and
defensive capabilities of SCP-1514-2 defunct. This malfunction also prevents deactivation
of the Coronet Contingency: this danger was the impetus for [REDACTED] contacting the
Foundation and the subsequent Foundation custody of the artifact. While SCP-1514-1A is unresponsive
to input, it has been observed to generate text messages via the control panel monitor:

Audio Log of Item #258 Examination
Location: USAF Installation at Groom Lake, NV
Foreword: Item #258 is an unused satellite developed by Project Excalibur-██ and
identical to those deployed for SDI-██ System "Xye". This examination is being performed
with the objective of obtaining information pertinent to the understanding and repair
of Item #234 (the core component of SDI-██ System "Xye"). "R" and "N" are mechanical
engineers with a background in space exploration. "E" and "A" are agents overseeing the procedure.
R: There's no conduit from these panels…are they just for show?
E: Most likely, we are not sure as of yet what it is powered by.
N: Opening superior side access point.
A metallic sound is heard, accompanied by a grunt from "N".
N: What in all—?
R: What—is that blood?
N: No, blood is brighter-colored and more opaque, and—
A sharp inhalation is heard.
N: It smells like iron, this doesn't.
A: What does it smell like?
N: I have no idea. R, here, take a sample to the lab.
R: Roger.
"R" is heard leaving the room.
N: Continuing with the examination.
Wet, rustling sounds are heard.
N: Components 23, 24, 27…missing. Unsurprising, all the solar conversion components are gone.
There's a lot of wiring, much more than there should be. Looks like fiber-optics, all pale
gray, tightly-bundled. Wait a moment…there's no charge, it's certainly not electrical…It's
unusually warm in here.
E: Internal temperature?
N: …37 degrees Centigrade.
A: What's that in—
N: 98 degrees.
A: …Odd.
N: That is odd. There's really an enormous amount of wiring in here, and I barely see
any of the original components—wait a moment.
E: What?
N: I found…something, it's not a component I recognize but-Jesus, what is this—
The sounds of rummaging can be heard.
N: It's an irregularly-shaped container, I'm not sure what it's made of, but it's not metallic…the
wiring seems to congregate on this object.
A: How big?
N: Maybe 25cm across at the widest, 15cm at the thinnest…it's fairly light.
A: What—
N: It's warm.
A: Same temperature?
N: Warm…
A: N?
E: N, are you okay?
N: Are you warm enough?
E: N, what—
N: Sleep now…warm and cozy…
A: Fuck.
E: Get him out of there. Now! Get him out now—open!
Loud thrashing is heard, "N" appears to be crying or laughing, it is unclear.
A: Oh God—
E: Get them out of him—
A: They're getting longer—
E: That's not fiber-optics—
N: [DATA EXPUNGED]
E: Who is he talking about?!
A: Cut the wires!

Journal of Dr. █████:
Entry ██: The Russians are very proud of their telepathy research division, but
they lack vision. They fail to respect the power of human emotion, but they'll see that
power soon enough, just as soon as our work on Empathic Resonance is complete. Thanks
to the materials provided by ███████████, we should have this project completed ahead of
schedule. Mind over matter. Heart over mind.
Entry ██: The first two subject batches exposed to the serum were utter failures.
The first all died from cerebral hemorrhaging, the second group went into encephalopathic
delirium. Our consensus is that the adult human nervous system is too inflexible, too
resistant to change. That being said, further experiments on the current subject pool are
likely to be fruitless. Still developing systems, preferably those still in gestation, are likely
to be ideal. We shall requisition more appropriate subjects from ███████████.
Entry ██: Two of our five subjects miscarried. After confirming that their carriers had no
reaction from the serum, we had them terminated. We've lowered the dose volume on the remaining
subjects, hopefully to mitigate the potential damage.
Entry ██: ███████████ ordered us to retrieve one subject for closer inspection.
Caesarian section of subject 4 was successful, however, in the aftermath of the procedure,
the carrier regained consciousness [DATA EXPUNGED] I don't understand, why did the carrier demonstrate
a reaction to the serum but not the fetus? ███████████ seems excited
by the news, I can hardly say I am as well, we lost five personnel from the incident.
We've had the carrier placed in a chemical coma, hopefully to prevent any further [DATA
EXPUNGED].
Entry ██: Clark went nuts today. He tried to break into Subject 4's room, claiming he
wanted "what was (his)." I had no idea what to make of it at first, but then I saw the
logs, and noticed he'd been monitoring Carrier 4 for the last two days. Empathic Resonance
is more volatile than we estimated, a telepathic event from an unconscious individual? We've
barred all access to the carrier's room and reinforced the walls with [REDACTED], provided
by ███████████, but we have no countermeasures if another energy
projection event like during the C-section occurs.
Entry ██: We're fucked. ███ is going to shut the entire Project M██████
down. ███████████ has ordered us to continue our work while they
handle the situation, but we haven't gotten anything, anything out of Subject 4. The other
subjects and carriers have all been terminated, they'd shown no response and were little more
than a financial black hole. My staff are losing their minds, and I'm tired of cleaning
up after them.
Entry ██: Well, the ███ situation has been solved, though it's blown up in the
general media, unsurprisingly. We can't be bothered to think about that now, though,
because Subject 4 has started to emit [REDACTED] radiation consistent with telepathic properties.
As far as we can tell, however, the subject does not demonstrate sentience. This is the
first sign that subject 4 has responded to the serum at all. We're not sure what to make
of this yet, nothing seems to make sense with this experiment. We're going to biopsy Subject
4's neural tissue and run an analysis.
Entry ██: [DATA EXPUNGED]
Entry ██: All of our materials have been moved to Lab B, and the remains of Carrier
4 have been locked in a [REDACTED] casket, though given that it could still detect what
was happening to Subject 4 when its entire room was lined with it, I doubt it makes much
difference. We obtained a neural cell sample of the carrier shortly after its termination,
███████████ wants to research methods of replicating the sample,
for what I have no idea. Subject 4 is stable, no attempts at a biopsy are planned or even
permitted, not after the last attempt resulted in [DATA EXPUNGED] and half our staff.
Entry ██: They were playing us right from the beginning, Colin was the one that suggested
we use fetuses, and he was one of their agents the whole time. They knew exactly how unstable
Empathic Resonance was and how dangerous this project would be, so they let us do the dangerous
work. The bond between a mother and child, of course it would provoke the strongest reaction:
a telepathic link that can't be deterred by any means. A mother trying to protect her
son…the readings we got from the last event are unlike anything we could have predicted.
████████████ has taken Subject 4 and the cell sample of its carrier,
they're going to continue with the cell replication on their own. I understand now, the subject
was never the weapon, it was only the trigger: the carrier was the weapon.
They think they know everything. But they didn't see what happened during the last incident,
and I have no plans on telling them. They think that just because Subject 4's growth
is arrested that it won't develop sentience, but even they underestimate this power.
It won't merely relay orders forever, it will begin choosing what to relay or ignoring them
altogether…maybe giving orders of its own.
