SCP: A TRUE ANOMALY

After a study of SCP-9743's book of his anomalous abilities, O5 Council lets enters SCP-9743, A'habbat, Dr. Sophia Adler, and SCP-105. SCP-105 is only for SCP-9743.

SCP-9743: "Alright, so... What is it? 6 different armies in one? 5 of different humanoids and not so humanoids, while 1 is of some sort of animals from nightmares?"

A'habbat: "Basically. 5 entire armies built by god-like entities in the long cosmic realm, blinded and loyal to Scarlet King, but as is dead, are under the control of each general, as each general is each daughter."

SCP-9743: "Wait... You should have an army then."

A'habbat: "I don't because I go against my father. The only real defense humans have, it is you, sibling. I can help, but all depends in you. The moment you fall, will mark the moment all humans will fall."

SCP-9743: "... Well... That doesn't help."

O5-4: "SCP-9743, you will remain at first behind the lines of MTF. You'll use your blasters and bones for both offensive and defensive."

O5-6: "Yes, we need you remaining in the back, and assist mainly as support, then, once you see the chance, you will break through."

SCP-9743 turned to look at A'habbat, who also looks at him, and then, she grabs him, leading him out of the room, but cameras keep recording.

A'habbat: "We have to find a way out, that's the only solution."

SCP-9743: "And them?"

A'habbat: "They are far lost already, sibling."

SCP-9743: "Look, maybe... Maybe the door that allowed Scarlet King get here, if is closed, will unable them from coming."

A'habbat: "Oh, yeah? You really think can be done that easy, sibling? We don't know when they will arrive, or even, if they already sneaked in, and are in disguise. Remember one of my sister has such ability, and her children too."

SCP-9743: "Let me ask you this... When you say 'her children', how many? Seriously, your sisters are such... For respect, I'll just say, 'easy women', for intimate."

A'habbat: "I won't lie to you, sibling. Gods and goddess tend to intimate more as you think to repopulate, and for have advantages as allies."

SCP-9743: "... You have to be kidding me... Seriously?..."

A'habbat: "Any problem, sibling?"

SCP-9743: "Yes. You can't be thinking that way, no? How could anyone think that way?"

A'habbat: "Since always, was thought in that way. But depends mostly in who thinks like that, and who doesn't. Like you, you don't think that way, unlike me, as is to what I'm used to think from learning that way."

SCP-9743: "... Look... How are supposed to win this?"

A'habbat: "We mostly can't, unless you, sibling, become God once again, as your true form, and annihilate all the armies."

SCP-9743: "Do you really think I can do any of that? I'm not a literal God. I have some limitations, weaknesses, and..."

A'habbat: "And what else, sibling? Is something wrong?"

SCP-9743: "J-just... U-uhm..."

Suddenly, SCP-9743 shakes his head, getting back in full attention to A'habbat.

SCP-9743: "So... Your sisters... If they have children... Are they married?"

A'habbat: "Yes, each of my sisters have a husband, except for A'zieb. She doesn't have any children, but nature does that part."

SCP-9743: "Seriously, you marry just for allies?"

A'habbat: "Well, you have chosen your partner in life as future wife, and how humans say, 'girlfriend', that human called 'Iris', just in the only need of sanity and stabilization in yourself, sibling."

SCP-9743: "... W-wow... You really like showing your so good way of talking like a real goddess, huh?"

A'habbat: "I do find quite entertaining and amusing the habit of practicing my speaking with other beings, sibling."

SCP-9743 suddenly raises his right hand, offering a handshake to A'habbat, who accepts it.

SCP-9743: "Let's make this properly. I'm Raziel, the name humans decided for me."

A'habbat: "I'm A'habbat, the name Scarlet King decided for me. Oh, sibling, I got an idea."

SCP-9743: "Hm? What is it?"

A'habbat: "As you don't have a god's name, I'll name you. You'll be A'malther, the shattered angel."

SCP-9743: "... I can't deny it sounds as fits me, actually. But the name... Sounds weird for me."

A'habbat: "Of course, sibling. For your knowledge, you're similar to a newborn in this topics."

SCP-9743: "... I still liking my human's name... For me, sounds more normal and better."

A'habbat: "A'malther, focus. Come on, sibling, think! Is just name, and you already act as a newborn child."

SCP-9743: "I'm not. I just... I'm trying to get used to you, calling me sibling, thinking a strategy... And now adding to get used to a new name too."

A'habbat: "Alright, A'malther. But remember, there is much more than you know. And you should start considering goddesses instead of humans."

A'habbat then entered back inside, but Dr. Sophia Adler left, and observing the stare SCP-9743 was having to the ground, she decided to do the little quick interview the O5 asked her.

Dr. Adler: "... Are you alright, SCP-9743?"

SCP-9743: "Hm?! Oh, y-yes... I was just... Thinking... Deeply..."

Dr. Adler: "Can I ask you some important questions?"

SCP-9743: "Sure. what are they?"

Dr. Adler: "Why did you not add all your anomalous abilities inside your book of abilities?"

SCP-9743: "... Some are... Irrelevant. Others require certain things, and others... Does nothing important, I think. At least towards anyone except me."

Dr. Adler: "Can you tell me what other abilities you have? Apart of teleportation, and creating portals."

SCP-9743: "Well... When I absorb souls I obtain extra abilities, but are locked to only that circumstances. I can use the save star, that yellow star. And I think... In short, that would be it."

Dr. Adler: "How can the four pointed star be used?"

SCP-9743: "... Sadly, only the most determined entity in the current timeline is capable of using it."

Dr. Adler: "What happens if two entities, or more, have the same amount of determination?"

SCP-9743: "... That's something impossible to happen. Each entity has a different amount of determination, and is increased as the more steals from others. As each entity has a different amount, it never coincides with anyone's determination, even if are of two entities stealing determination from others. Is always or more or less, than the current most determined."

Dr. Adler: "How does your teleportation ability work?"

SCP-9743: "By using magic, and requiring having a knowledge of where the place is, and the way to go, I can do a shortcut, fast travelling. The longer the distance, the more magic consumes. Also, if I take someone, or more people with me, the consumption of magic increases. Is kind of dependent of the place, distance, if I go alone or with others..."

Dr. Adler: "And your ability to open portals? As for your void, or other dimensions as the ones SCP-105, Iris, showed you with her camera?"

SCP-9743 hesitated for a moment, and rolled his eyes, before giving an answer.

SCP-9743: "... I can open a portal to my void, and other dimensions or worlds if I know them. When Iris shows me the image and surroundings of a place, I unlock that place to open a portal to that place."

Suddenly, O5 Council is notified by calls of MTF teams, as they noticed movement coming from SCP-001's Containment Site. They were coming through the gate, the army was entering this world.

Inform: Analysis and Strategic Insights into SCP-9743 (A'malther, "The Shattered Angel") and Imminent Threat from SCP-001's Containment Site Overview of Events

The following report details the interactions between SCP-9743 (recently referred to as A'malther, "The Shattered Angel" by A'habbat), Dr. Sophia Adler, and O5 personnel, as well as the Foundation's response to the confirmed breach at SCP-001's Containment Site, where entities loyal to the Scarlet King are beginning to infiltrate this dimension.

Discussion Between SCP-9743 and A'habbat

During a private dialogue between SCP-9743 and A'habbat, several critical revelations and strategic considerations were made:

Structure of the Scarlet King's Armies:

A'habbat outlined that each of the Scarlet King's six daughters commands a unique army:

A'tivik: Tactical warfare specialists.

A'ghor: Responsible for recruiting and expanding armies.

A'distat: Hateful destroyers, spreading pestilence wherever they go.

A'zieb: Commands nightmare beasts and is immune to mortal weapons.

A'nuht: Reality warpers capable of destabilizing entire realms.

A'tellif: Masters of stealth and disguise, capable of infiltration undetected.

Foundation Observation: A'habbat's insights suggest the Scarlet King's offspring operate as quasi-deities with their own specialized domains. This makes direct confrontation with their armies highly volatile and unpredictable. SCP-9743 is identified as the only viable counterforce.

Proposal to Close the Gate:

SCP-9743 suggested closing the dimensional gate through which the Scarlet King's armies are entering. However, A'habbat expressed skepticism, citing the advanced stealth capabilities of A'tellif's children, who may have already infiltrated the Foundation.

A'habbat's Naming of SCP-9743:

A'habbat bestowed SCP-9743 with the name A'malther, "The Shattered Angel", acknowledging his significant power yet fractured state. SCP-9743 expressed unease but ultimately accepted the title, reinforcing ties to the Scarlet King's lineage.

Dr. Sophia Adler's Interview with SCP-9743

Dr. Sophia Adler was tasked with further probing SCP-9743's capabilities. The following key points were noted:

Unrevealed Abilities:

SCP-9743 confirmed additional abilities not listed in his book, many dependent on absorbed souls or unique circumstances. His yellow save star can only be wielded by the most determined entity in a timeline, making its use highly situational.

Determination Hierarchies:

SCP-9743 explained that no two entities can possess identical determination levels due to the fluid nature of determination. This reinforces the uniqueness of his connection to the save star and his "hyperdeath" abilities.

Portals and Void Travel:

SCP-9743 elaborated on his portal abilities, which require knowledge of a destination. SCP-105's camera-assisted exploration was instrumental in granting SCP-9743 access to new dimensions.

Foundation Concern: The implication of SCP-105's anomalous camera facilitating interdimensional access poses a significant containment breach risk. Protocols to monitor SCP-105's camera usage will be reviewed.

Notable Foundation Comments O5 Council Notes:

SCP-9743 and Scarlet King Connection:

SCP-9743's new title, "A'malther," aligns with the naming conventions of the Scarlet King's offspring, solidifying his potential connection to this lineage. The Scarlet King's repeated references to SCP-9743 as "child" raise concerns about a deeper, possibly hidden relationship.

A'habbat's Warnings:

A'habbat's claim that the armies are already infiltrating the human world is credible, given her direct knowledge of her siblings' abilities. The mention of A'tellif's children's stealth capabilities is particularly alarming.

SCP-9743 as a Defensive Asset:

SCP-9743 (A'malther) remains the Foundation's strongest line of defense, though his reluctance and psychological instability remain significant concerns. O5-4 recommended further integration of SCP-9743 into the Foundation's plans, with tactical emphasis on using his abilities to contain or neutralize the invading armies.

Links Between SCP-9743 and the Scarlet King

The following points strongly suggest SCP-9743's lineage to the Scarlet King:

Scarlet King's Address:

During the battle at SCP-001's Containment Site, the Scarlet King repeatedly referred to SCP-9743 as "my child" and "creature of many sins and burdens." This is consistent with how he addresses his known offspring.

A'habbat's Naming:

A'habbat's decision to name SCP-9743 as A'malther directly aligns with the thematic titles of the Scarlet King's daughters. This reinforces the possibility of SCP-9743 being a direct or spiritual offspring of the Scarlet King.

SCP-9743's Abilities and Nature:

SCP-9743's anomalous abilities, particularly his manipulation of determination and access to other dimensions, mirror the Scarlet King's reality-warping and soul-manipulating offspring.

Guilt and Self-Perception:

SCP-9743's emotional responses during interviews—his reluctance to harm humans despite his genocidal past and his fragmented sense of self—suggest a being caught between conflicting identities. This psychological duality aligns with A'habbat's description of a "shattered angel."

Imminent Threat from SCP-001 Breach Overview:

Reports from MTF stationed near SCP-001's Containment Site confirm increased movement through the dimensional gate. Initial visual feeds identify entities consistent with descriptions of A'ghor's and A'distat's armies.

Strategic Response:

SCP-9743's Role:

SCP-9743 is to act as a frontline defense, using his Gaster Blasters and bone magic for both offense and shielding. His ability to teleport could prove invaluable for rapid response across the battlefield.

Counter-Infiltration Protocols:

Measures to detect A'tellif's stealth-enabled entities have been enacted. All personnel are subject to biometric and telepathic scans.

Close the Gate:

A'habbat's skepticism notwithstanding, efforts are underway to locate the mechanism to close the dimensional gate. SCP-9743 has suggested his "special hell" ability may assist in sealing the breach, though this remains speculative.

Conclusion

The evolving situation surrounding SCP-9743, A'habbat, and the Scarlet King's lineage has introduced unprecedented complexities for the SCP Foundation. While SCP-9743 (A'malther) remains a crucial asset, his emotional instability and potential ties to the Scarlet King demand careful observation and contingency planning.

Ongoing surveillance of SCP-9743 and A'habbat is essential, as is a tactical response to the armies now entering this dimension. The Foundation must weigh the risks of relying heavily on SCP-9743 while preparing for the possibility that the Scarlet King's legacy extends far beyond what is currently known.
