##purple|**PHENOMENON SUPPERESSION COUNTERMEASURES:**## PSC-7463 is currently not under control. Direct containment has been deemed impractical due to the entity’s inherent anomalous properties.

The Union surveillance spacecraft assigned to the S-008654Ω system is to maintain continuous orbital monitoring of Aion-345, recording all observable indicators of technological progression among PSC-7463 populations. Collected data is to be transmitted to Observation Center-M12 for ongoing assessment and analysis.

Given that PSC-7463’s anomalous characteristics effectively nullify any attempt to impose extinction-level or large-scale destructive scenarios, all proposals for direct engagement or open conflict with PSC-7463 are denied indefinitely.

##purple|**DESCRIPTION:**## PSC-7463 designates a species of sapient higher primates currently native to planet Aion-345, located within the S-008654Ω solar system. PSC-7463 exhibits several notable physiological and cognitive deviations from other known members of its genus, including but not limited to:

[[include component:image-block
|name=https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/local--files/psc-7463/earth.png
|caption=Aion-345.
|width=180px]]

* Habitual bipedal locomotion.
* Minimal body hair, restricted primarily to the cranial and facial regions.
* Advanced intelligence, with all observed individuals demonstrating the use of complex, structured language.

PSC-7463's primary anomalous nature is demonstrated through its total ecological and territorial dominance of Aion-345 despite the presence of anomalous extinction-level activity in the S-008654Ω system. Historical and observational data indicate that the S-008654Ω system is a focal point of anomalous activity, hosting multiple planet-scale destructive entities and some of the most potent reality-benders ever documented. Notably, Aion-345 is otherwise deemed inhospitable to the natural evolution of intelligent life due to the high amount of recorded anomalous activities of any known planet. And despite possessing no significant physical defenses, PSC-7463 has achieved total ecological and territorial dominance over its home world, warranting its classification as an anomalous lifeform.

When PSC-7463 faces existential threats capable of inducing species-wide extinction, such threats are consistently neutralized through a sequence of a chain-reaction of coincidental or probabilistically improbable aligned minor events, which seems to be originated as reality-bending reaction[[footnote]] PSC-7463 entities do not seem to be aware of their anomalous trait [[/footnote]] (see Appendix-1 for details on these threats). Two primary hypotheses have been proposed regarding the source of this anomaly:

* The first theory suggests that an anomalous self-preserving genome may have emerged in the early primate ancestors of PSC-7463. This genome is theorized to exhibit limited sentience and the capacity to manipulate local reality to ensure its continued propagation. This would position PSC-7463 as the most evolutionarily successful organism known to exist.

* The second theory suggests that PSC-7463 may have been artificially engineered by an unidentified higher-order entity, designated PSC-7463-1, which exerts ongoing protective influence over PSC-7463 for unknown purposes. Should PSC-7463-1 exist, it would represent the most powerful narrative-level reality-manipulating entity yet discovered.

Based on available evidence, PSC-7463 is classified as an SG-Class End-of-the-Galaxy Threat.[[footnote]] SG-Class scenario refers to the elimination of all the galaxy's intelligent species by a new dominant one [[/footnote]] Historical documentation supports this designation, noting the species’ complete eradication of the Nalthren civilization, a prior sentient species indigenous to Aion-345 (see Appendix-1). 

At present, PSC-7463’s expansion is limited only by its lack of spacefaring capability. Predictive models estimate that PSC-7463 will develop interplanetary and interstellar travel technologies within approximately 964,000 years.

##purple|**APPENDIX-7463-1:**## The following record documents some events where PSC-7463 anomalous capability was activated. For an expanded log, please refer to the Observation Center-M12 archive section.


||~ Date ||~ Event description ||~ Notes||
|| N/A || It is known that the [[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1000|Nalthren]]] civilization has fallen due to them entering a war with the early PSC-7463 entities. Due to the lack of historical records, it is unknown how PSC-7463 managed to defeat the Nalthrens, given that by the time PSC-7463 discovered fire, the Nalthrens had achieved faster-than-light travel. || Some individuals from the ancestors of the Nalthrens have survived the extinction, but they now live individually in scattered areas across Aion-345. ||
|| 08/10/1665 || A [[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2399|Croneck-Class destroyer]]] was detected en route to Aion-345, exhibiting confirmed hostile intent toward PSC-7463, as it seems that the polorons had long since recognized PSC-7463 threat on their own expansionist plans. Before reaching its target, the vessel collided with one of the moons of Venoc-34, resulting in severe structural damage and loss of primary propulsion capability. Repair operations are currently ongoing, with no estimated timeframe for mission resumption. || "These destroyers were made to cut planets in half, and you're telling me that one of them got stopped because the crew didn't see an entire moon blocking their course?" -- Sr. Xantria ||
|| 05/07/2011 || [[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7328|The Octuplied]]] species have sent several scout spacecrafts to the S-008654Ω system to observe Aion-345 for a possible invasion. Ten Hours later, the Octuplieds ordered all of their forces to retreat from S-008654Ω and declared S-008654Ω a red zone. || “WHAT KIND OF PLANET IS THIS” -- The Octuplied representative in the council. ||
|| 12/20/2016 || Aion-345 experienced multiple natural disasters and local reality distortion events caused by one [[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3812|reality-bender entity]]] that threatened to destroy the planet. However, the entity ceased all of its previous activities and events that it caused and became inactive. || The reason for that is unknown. ||

      <p>On 16/07/1969, Monitoring Patrol P51 reported observing an object exiting the atmosphere of Aion-354 on a collision course with the planet's moon. Over the following 75-hour mission, it was confirmed that the object was a spacecraft powered by a primitive rocket engine as it entered lunar orbit.</p>

      <p>For the next 101 hours, the craft performed a series of maneuvers, eventually detaching a capsule that descended onto the lunar surface, from which two PSC-7463 entities emerged. Analysis of their actions suggested that both individuals were conducting various experiments, collecting samples, and documenting the mission with images.</p>

      <p>Once the departure of the two PSC-7463 entities was confirmed, a reconnaissance team was dispatched to the moon of Aion-345, where they verified that the remaining spacecraft at the landing site met basic standards for early space travel engineering. In the years following this event, a significant increase in the number of PSC-7463-launched space missions has been observed, believed to be preliminary plans for colonizing other planets within the solar system.</p>

      <hr>

      <blockquote>
        “This was not anticipated. They have achieved space travel technology far sooner than expected, given PSC-7463's current technological advancement. They will likely be capable of establishing their first colony outside Aion-345 within at least the next 100 years. Time is running out for us.”<br><br>
