SCP-3134: The forgotten rune

Object Class: Safe

Special containment procedures: Due to the nature of this SCP, any and all instances of SCP-3134 are to be taken from whatever surface applied to by remote cutting tools and brought to site-86B, where they are stored under standard cognitohazard containment procedures. Any and all individuals seen creating or attempting to create SCP-3134 are to be detained for interrogation. In the event of a sighting or creation of SCP-3134 , Mobile Task Force Eta-10 ("See No Evil") will be deployed to the area to prevent civillian casualties, and to prevent any chances of █ ████ ██████ ██ SCP-3134-2.

Description: SCP-3134 is the alphabetic character ███, representing "Cursed" seemingly from the ancient set of characters commonly known as the "Elder Futhark Runes" used by Germanic tribes during the second to eighth centuries, namely used in ███████ ██████ villages, with no recorded instances of the character being used outside of that part of ███████.

SCP-3134's anomalous entities begin to manifest when viewed, even partially, by an individual, specifically in the identification of SCP-3134 as a symbol or rune, or by pronouncing the rune out loud. Any individual exposed to SCP-3134 is hereby identified as SCP-3134-1.

Within a time frame of fifteen (15) to thirty-five (35) minutes, SCP-3134-1 will begin to hallucinate the addition of eyes, mouths, hands, and [DATA EXPUNGED] on various surfaces, and develop psychological afflictions. The nature of these afflictions vary from person to person, but the four common symptoms are:

  • An enhanced state of hypochondria, to the point where SCP-3134-1 will refuse to do anything they may view as harmful to their physical health (Seen in 60% of all Foundation recorded instances of SCP-3134-1)
  • Greatly enhanced psychosis to the point of aggressive action (Seen in 76% of all Foundation recorded instances of SCP-3134-1)
  • Severe cases of acute schizophrenia (Note: This appears to be the only consistent symptom across all known cases of SCP-3134-1. -Researcher D.G.)
  • Enhanced paranoia and the firm belief that SCP-3134-1 is being watched by entity/ies just out of eyesight (Seen in 95% of all Foundation recorded instances of SCP-3134-1)

This behavior will continue for the next two (2) to three (3) days, whereupon SCP-3134-2 will manifest, beginning event 3134-2-Alpha.

SCP-3134-2 appears as a Caucasian male of indeterminate age, wearing clothing and wielding weaponry associated with the time of ███ AD, specifically [DATA EXPUNGED]. Upon closer examination, SCP-3134-2 also appears to have no eyes, ears, tongue, lips, or fingers, with the locations of each organ simply ending in still-bleeding stumps, resulting in a lipless, toothy visage. For fingers, SCP-3134-2 has a number of iron hooks ending in points sticking out from the ends of its hands. At any given time, SCP-3134-2's breath will steam as if they are currently in low-temperature conditions.
SCP-3134-2 appears to be capable of interdimensional transportation, and has to date exhibited the following abilities:

  • Sudden manifestation through means of doorways(See below for further details)
  • Teleportation and materialization across a distance of at least thirty-eight(38) kilometers in less than a second
  • Superhuman strength, being able to punch and batter through six-inch steel plates with minimal force
  • Heightened resistance, if not complete immunity to physical trauma, being capable of surviving repeated 00 buckshot discharges directly to the sternum, face, and stomach
  • Increased stamina and physical endurance, being capable of running for several hours at a time without seeming to tire

SCP-3134-2's main ability to teleport comes through the nature of doors: Namely, SCP-3134-2 can open any door to any location and have it open to any other doorway, regardless of distance or type of door.

When Event 3134-2-Alpha begins, SCP-3134-1 will enter a state of terror and attempt to flee from their current location by any means necessary. At this point, the doorway closest to SCP-3134-1 will, even if locked, barred or barricaded, open to reveal SCP-3134-2 entering from within what appears to be a colorless void, who will then persue any instances of SCP-3134-1, by means of sprinting, teleportation, or [DATA EXPUNGED]. When SCP-3134-2 is within range of SCP-3134-1, the entity will then attempt to imobilize, incapacitate, or cripple SCP-3134-1 by means of improvised weapons, or weapons on SCP-3134-2's person at the time. After crippling their target, SCP-3134-2 will then mutilate SCP-3134-1 and [REDACTED - LEVEL 4 ADMINISTRATOR ACCESS OR HIGHER REQUIRED], leaving behind no traces of SCP-3134-1. It is unknown what happens to SCP-3134-1 at this time, as any attempt to chart SCP-3134-2's location after Event 3134-2-Alpha has ended in [DATA EXPUNGED]

ADDENDUM 3134/01: Notes on acquisition

SCP-3134 was discovered in a series of underground ruins in ████████, Germany during an excavation for a housing development. Along with the symbol was a poem warning the reader of SCP-3134 as well as innumerable warnings. The main passage when translated, reads:

BEWARE ALL YE WHO VIEW THIS CHAMBER'S SYMBOL - A GREAT AND TERRIBLE DEMON HAUNTS THESE HALLS

Cursed be the one, he without eyes, who must remain without names,
who sought to become a God amongst elders. Fearing his death,
he sacrificed his eyes, ears, mouth, and fingers to the [INFOHAZARD EXPUNGED]
who gave him endless life, for an unwritten price.
He waits now, sleeping endlessly, for those who see upon his symbol are doomed
Thus is the price of the Bloody Jarl and all his clansmen, who shall be forgotten
From hereafter, and ever more
