アイテム番号: SCP-3240

オブジェクトクラス: Keter Neutralized Hiemal

特別収容プロトコル: SCP-3240の影響を受けやすいとされる生物種から、影響下にある12以上の個体が飼育されます。捕獲された標本はそれぞれの生息地を再現した囲いの中に隔離され、影響下にない同種個体との接触から遮断されます。感受性種の個体数は、出現場所と予測される将来の出現場所で監視する必要があります。 また、SCP-3240出現予測地における種の個体数を常にしてください。

説明: SCP-3240は一部の食肉類に観察される学習行動です。生物種がSCP-3240を示すには、生息環境がタイガ、チャパラル、ツンドラ、砂漠、山のいずれかである必要があります。影響を受けた動物は狩りを行わなくなったことを除いて、他の行動異常を示しません。

影響を受けることがわかっている既知の種には、コサックギツネ、シロハヤブサ、ホッキョクギツネ、ヒョウアザラシ、カナダオオヤマネコ、ユキヒョウ、キングコブラ、ホッキョクオオカミ、オオタカ、ダイヤガラガラヘビ、セーカーハヤブサ、コヨーテ、シロフクロウ、アナホリフクロウなどが挙げられます。

太陽時の正午、特定の場所から半径5km以内1にSCP-3240の影響を受けた個体が集まり自己補食を行います。影響下にある個体は、四足動物における前肢や尾など、最も簡単に手の届く部分から体重の約10〜15%を消費します。対象は筋肉と結合組織を消費しますが、骨やエナメル質は消費しません。 消費された肉は12時間後には完全に回復します。出血は正常に発生しますが、SCP-3240を終えると止まります。 カップルの場合、お互いに内臓を食べさせたり求愛行動の際に差し出したりすることがあります。子供が幼く自分で食せない場合、その子から肉を引き裂いて差し出すことがあります。ホッキョクオオカミなどの社会的な種は、SCP-3240を行う際に使用される独自の発声パターンを持っています。

エンドルフィンなどの鎮痛物質が生成されないにもかかわらず、影響下にある動物はいかなる苦痛反応も示しません。最初の補食と回復作用の間、影響下にある動物は怪我により行動に支障を来しているようには見えません。

SCP-3240の感染率は、無関係な成人個体間で約54%、兄弟姉妹、同じ群れのメンバー間で約63%、親子間で約99%あるとされています2

SCP-3240とSCP-2889SCP-2547は類似性が認められ関連があると理論づけられています。SCP-2547の症状を示す部位はSCP-3240のハイレベルの感染が観察され、SCP-3240の治癒後にSCP-2889の領域で追加の異常活動が続いていた事例があります。

補遺1: SCP-3240はヒトにも影響を与えることがわかっています。影響下にある人間はモスクワ、ソルトレイクシティ、エジプト、マラケシュなど、いくつかの都市のホームレスの中に存在します。SCP-3240に関連する宗教規律、利益を語る演説は一般的になってきています。これらは性質が曖昧であるため、SCP-3240影響下の人間の積極的な監視や無力化は困難であることが証明されています。SCP-3240影響下の人間を捕縛する試みは、影響下の動物からの反対によって中止されました。秘密裏の諜報活動は情報収集において成功していますが、リーダー的存在は有無を含めいまだ発見されていません。

財団エージェントのルーカス・バヤードは、入信した人々の動機についての調査を行うためソルトレイクシティの宗派に潜入しました。以下は、彼が改宗者である███ ████████と行った会話の記録です。 ████████は錆びたナイフを使ってSCP-3240を行おうとしていたため、エージェント・バヤードは清潔なナイフを渡そうとしました。

<記録開始>
Bayard: Hey, man, put that down. You'll give yourself tetanus. Here, use mine.
[████████ accepts it, and begins cutting a slice of flesh from his thigh.]
████████: Much appreciated. My teeth aren't what they used to be, you know? Neither is the rest of me. Not like you. What's a good strong fellow like you doing here?
Bayard: Wasn't me, needed strength. Wife's cancer ate through our savings, and then through her stomach lining. Insurance wouldn't cover it. Pre-existing conditions.
████████: That's a shame. That's a real damn shame. I'm sorry to hear that. That's the whole damn problem. Everybody's got everyone else wrapped up around them on a string. You gotta kiss ass after ass to get what you want, and then they throw you out and you have to beg them for scraps in the street.
Bayard: Exactly. I could never bring myself to go in a soup kitchen. I was so fucking ashamed. I used to be, I don't know, a provider. And then I was just a charity case.
████████: That's exactly it. If they want us to eat, we eat, but it's all at their whim. We're fucking pets. But this? I like this. The guy told me that all a man needed to live was given to him when he was born, and as long as he had his bones he was all right. And I'll tell you what. I've got my fucking bones. And now I don't need nobody else. I got the sun on my skin, and the wind in my hair, and the flesh on my bones, and I can live wherever the hell I want, because ain't nobody can take that away from me.

Addendum 2: Despite the active public attempts at conversion, actually partaking in SCP-3240 was done in private until an incident on January 25th of 2017, whereupon a Moscovian man who had just engaged in SCP-3240 climbed onto the roof of an Orthodox church, followed by three northern goshawks. A transcript of recovered video footage taken by a civilian witness is included below.

<BEGIN FOOTAGE>
(The man is approximately halfway up the side of the church. The goshawks circle around him whilst he climbs. When he reaches the top, he leans back against the church spire, grasps it for support, and begins to speak.)
PoI-3240-Delta: You'll regret this one day, you sordid, gluttonous bags of fat and blood. You and your sap-filled monstrosities you call gods.
(The largest goshawk makes the first incision with its beak. The footage is briefly blocked by someone moving in front of the recording device. When the man is visible again, two goshawks have begun to probe within the incision. They eventually remove a large dark mass - the footage is too low quality to allow for detailed inspection, but the organ removed appears likely his liver. PoI-3240-Delta shows no discomfort as it is removed. An unidentified man next to the recorder of the footage vomits on his shoes.)
Unidentified man: Is that - oh god, is that his liver?
PoI-3240-Delta: The Verdant has abused us for so, so long, leaving us their scraps, permitting us to feast on their weak and dying. Pushing us to the harshest parts of your overgrown world. But the blade turns in the hand now, hah! We don't need your leavings, not now! We can exist alone, and you cannot.
(All three goshawks begin to peel away the skin and inner lining from his ribcage.)
Unidentified woman (off-screen): Somebody get him the fuck down from there!
(No one moves or makes any audible remarks.)
PoI-3240-Delta: The Veldt provides so we survive! Without us, you'll suffer! You don't know it yet, but you'll see! You'll grow and rot and grow and rot until there's nowhere left to go and the vines are wrapped around your own throats and you are strangled and choked in your own waste. Unbalance! Unbalance! The cycle goes both ways! You've forgotten it, but we'll make you remember. Remember that predator needs prey, and prey needs predator. You'll beg us for help, for mercy, like that which you never gave us. And for once we'll feast as you look on, starving, and you'll finally know.
(The goshawks remove the last of the tissue from PoI-3240-Delta's chest, leaving his ribs exposed. He begins breaking off his own ribs and tosses them to the crowd below. Multiple observers have begun screaming.)
PoI-3240-Delta: Go on! Eat! Crack them open, suck the marrow! Know what it is to taste the Veldt!
(The footage is blocked once more, and the recording device falls to the ground face down.)
<END FOOTAGE>

The next day, another man climbed a church in Butte, Montana, and began reciting a similar speech, accompanied by turkey vultures. The church's reverend attempted to argue with him, and began quoting Bible passages at him. After arguing with the man for some time, the vultures descended upon the preacher and tore out his tongue. Witnesses were detained and given medical aid if needed before being amnesticized. Both incidents were passed off as performance art pieces. Undercover Agents are now directed to incapacitate those who intend to engage in SCP-3240 publicly before civilians are exposed.

Addendum 3: Observation has shown that areas high in animals affected by SCP-3240 are having die-offs of local prey species, some reducing populations by up to 80 percent. These die-offs appear to be due to population growth running unchecked, causing starvation when food sources were depleted. Recovered bodies contain no bone tissue whatsoever; further testing shows that all bone disintegrates immediately upon death. In addition, there have been more than 20 cases over the past month where humans affected by SCP-3240 have deliberately destroyed plantations or farms. They used an unknown substance that causes calcification of plant tissue on contact to do so. All perpetrators in custody committed suicide before reaching trial.

Addendum 4: The Foundation has obtained custody of several human children afflicted by SCP-3240. When surveyors in a rural Alaskan town were contracted to determine the placing of a hydroelectric dam, they noted the local Arnatsiaq family engaging in SCP-3240 alongside several other affected animals. Authorities were called when parents were seen aiding their children in participating; upon police arrival, the adults appeared to have deserted their property. Several arctic wolves and gyrfalcons were found in the residence and attacked the social workers when they attempted to remove the children. Undercover agents intervened in order to extract the children and place them in Foundation custody for further observation. The animals found in the residence were placed with the other members of their species currently in captivity.

An interview with Dmitri Arnatsiaq, one of the children recovered from the Arnatsiaq residence, is recorded below.

The Arnatsiaq children were restrained to keep them from engaging in SCP-3240; but they refused to eat any food provided by the Foundation. When asked about any foods he and his siblings would be willing to eat, Vasily Arnatsiaq told Foundation staff to check the animal enclosures. The specimens in captivity had left some of their flesh uneaten in piles by the entrance. After some deliberation, the use of this meat to feed the Arnatsiaq children has been approved.

Copies of the Book of Bone and Book of Frost referenced by Dmitri were found in the Arnatsiaq residence. The books were in disrepair and had been damaged like many of the items of the house, but there were several other excerpts which could be salvaged.

A description of the Veldt entity, from the Book of Bone:

The spirits and sense and souls of all the stones and bones and mountaintops, the owl's cry, and the lynx's eye, and the rich grey fur of the wolf in the moon light. Tooth and claw and howl we are, and footprints in the snow. Predators, they call us, but we will turn our fangs inwards, to the bone.

The Verdant, as detailed in the Book of Frost:

The sinful overrun life of the oozing, spreading swamps, the twisting ingrown forests, the soft and rotting plants, and the mouth-breathing beasts that feed on them, all ruled by the sinful glutton Pan, who tosses us his sickly, aging scraps to make his brood stronger, and expects us to be thankful. No more shall we feed on their scraps.

A passage from the Book of Feather and Fur regarding the animals affected by SCP-3240:

… paragons of independence, of tenacity, of sustenance in self-contained tranquility. They are troubled nevermore with any thought but the texture of the lichen on the rocks, or the feeling of the wind that brings the blizzard. They are companions, protectors, mentors - pure distillation of a hunter.

Addendum 5: As of March 14, all major communities of humans afflicted by SCP-3240 have been forcibly dissolved by Foundation agents, with members being brought into Foundation custody and restrained to keep them from engaging in SCP-3240. No public displays of SCP-3240 have occurred since March 12th. Extermination and breeding programs meant to replace animal populations afflicted by SCP-3240 have proven successful, with an 83 percent reduction in SCP-3240 occurrence. SCP-3240 has been deemed Neutralized.

Addendum 6: As of March 21, 80 percent of all plant life between 38° N and 38° S has begun growing uncontrollably, at anywhere from two to twelve times their normal growth rate. All strictly herbivorous mammals in this area have begun to reproduce at similarly unnatural speeds, with gestation rates divided into a quarter of their former duration. At times, plant growth will produce masses of animal tissue on their roots. These cysts develop into herbivorous animals over the course of one to three hours. The animals formed are often considerably larger and more territorial than their counterparts, and prone to deformity. Animals that form this way may also develop other plants and other animals, including humans, through the tumor generation method, with the likelihood of a chained development event growing higher as the equator is approached. The region affected is spreading by 30 kilometers per day, in the north and south directions.

Due to the generation of new anomalous phenomena as a result of its containment, SCP-3240 has been reclassified as Hiemal.

The humans afflicted by SCP-3240 no longer demonstrate regenerative qualities and have ceased engaging. Those affected will not respond to questioning, save for Dmitri Arnatsiaq. When a researcher inquired as to what he knew of the recent anomaly, his only response was to quote a passage from the Book of the Canyon:

The green will shut us in, and twist us, and devour us alive. There is nothing in the forest that is not hungry, everything the trees say is a lie. Farewell to sky and sun and wind - farewell, farewell! For Pan is waking! And he starves!
