[[>]] [[module Rate]] [[/>]] [[include component:image-block name=timthumb.php.png|caption=SCP-1843 and instances of SCP-1843-1 during testing in Foundation property.]] **Item #:** SCP-1843 **Object Class:** Safe **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-1843 is to be held in a Large Containment Vault in Storage Site-12’s Safe SCP Wing. Specimens of the genus //Ovis// are to be kept at a minimum distance of 2.5 kilometers from SCP-1843's containment. Specimens found within the 2 kilometers radius are to be moved at a minimum distance of 700 meters from SCP-1843’s range of effect or terminated, if necessary. Deceased instances of SCP-1843-2 are to be contained in separate cryogenic freezers after examination. Controlled testing with specimens of the genus //Ovis// is to be done outside, and requires the approval of at least one (1) Level 4 personnel. **Description:** SCP-1843 is a polyhedron-shaped[[footnote]] More specifically, an irregular triacontahedron. [[/footnote]] hollow structure of unknown, possibly extra-terrestrial origin. SCP-1843 is mostly composed of silicon, iron and polystyrene. SCP-1843 measures 1.50 meters in height and 1.50 meters in width, weighing approximately 500 kilograms when empty. SCP-1843 can be opened via a small metallic door found on one of its faces. SCP-1843's anomalous properties only affect specimens of the genus //Ovis// (referred as SCP-1843-1) present within a 2 kilometers radius. Instances of SCP-1843-1 will move towards SCP-1843 in groups of 5-10 individuals, mostly composed of adult males and female juveniles. Instances of SCP-1843-1 display more hostility than normal, but do not possess physical strength above normal specimens of the genus //Ovis//. Once the instances of SCP-1843-1 have reached SCP-1843, they will proceed to perform a "ritual", referred as SCP-1843-A event. SCP-1843-A events are usually of violent nature, consisting of the sacrificial murder of a female juvenile (referred as SCP-1843-2), performed by instances of SCP-1843-1 by crushing SCP-1843-2's skull with their hooves or by repeatedly hitting it with their horns. In rare occasions (<2%), instances of SCP-1843-1 have been observed to cannibalize instances of SCP-1843-2. The older instance of SCP-1843-1 will then proceed to place the remains of SCP-1843-2 within SCP-1843. After the SCP-1843-A event has ended, all the instances of SCP-1843-1 will bow their heads down to SCP-1843 and proceed to move away from it. Instances of SCP-1843-1 that participated the SCP-1843-A event lose all their anomalous behaviors once they are 500 meters distant from SCP-1843, despite still being in its range of effect. SCP-1843 was recovered the 2010/██/██ in █████, Germany, after the reports of a metallic object falling in the rural area of Germany. After 2 weeks of investigations, SCP-1843 was found in █████, being "worshipped" by several instances of SCP-1843-1, most being domestic sheep (//Ovis aries//) and wild mouflon (//Ovis musimon//). SCP-1843 contained fourteen (14) deceased juvenile specimens of //Ovis aries// and five (5) deceased juvenile specimens of //Ovis musimon//, currently contained among other instances of SCP-1843-2. **Addendum 1843-1:** Excerpt from Testing Log-1843-13-F. __**Testing Log 1843-13-F - 2010/██/██**__ > **Subject(s):** Seven (7) specimens of //Ovis aries//; four (4) adult males and three (3) female juveniles, referred as SCP-1843-1-26 to -32. > **Procedure:** All the instances are transported via vehicle to SCP-1843 to avoid hostile reactions. The instances approach SCP-1843 without accident. > **Results:** SCP-1843-A event begins. The older specimens begin to "dance", moving in circle around SCP-1843, followed by the younger males. The female specimens emit an high pitched sound throughout the whole event. The dance finishes after 20 minutes and 15 seconds. The younger males (SCP-1843-1-28 and -29) force a juvenile (formerly SCP-1843-1-31; now SCP-1843-2) to lay in front of SCP-1843. The older specimen (SCP-1843-1-26) kills SCP-1843-2 by crushing its skull, and proceeds to place SCP-1843-2 within SCP-1843. At this point, SCP-1843-1-26 screams for 2 minutes, before all the specimens bow down to SCP-1843 and return to the containment vehicle. > **Analysis:** //Those “screams” have been recognized as an attempt of SCP-1843-1-26 to speak German. Those with Level 3 clearance may read Document 1843-12-AD for further information.// **Addendum 1843-2:** Document 1843-12-AD. > **Translator's note:** //The following is a rough attempt to decipher SCP-1843-1-26's vocalizations. However, since its speech mostly consisted of bleats and German gibberish, this translation is approximate.// > > **SCP-1843-1-26:** My Lord, god of all the ones that munch the green, who takes the fear away, grant us peace. We offer you this virgin, for we beg you to listen the [unknown, plea?] our herds asked since your descent. (//SCP-1843-1-26 pauses for 10 seconds at the end of every sentence.//) > > **SCP-1843-1-26:** We beg you to free us from the [unknown] that has tormented us since the first wool. > > **SCP-1843-1-26:** The [unknown] has forced us to live in fear. > > **SCP-1843-1-26:** [Unknown] has denied us of the warmth in the cold, and devoured us in the warm. > > **SCP-1843-1-26:** If you are our [helper (?), savior (?)], accept this virgin as a treat, and destroy the [unknown]. > **Addendum 1843-3:** Summary of Testing Log 1843-13-G. On 2010/██/██, SCP-1843-1-26 was exposed a second time to SCP-1843, among other six (6) instances of SCP-1843-1. SCP-1843-1-26 did not participate to the SCP-1843-A event, but limited itself to repeatedly hit SCP-1843 with its horns. SCP-1843-1-26 appeared to emit a vocalization similar to "lügner", the German word for "liar." SCP-1843-1-26 was later killed by the other instances of SCP-1843-1, instead of SCP-1843-2. At time of writing, only SCP-1843-1-26 has displayed this kind of behavior.
