SCP-3057

SCP-3057-2.

Date: 08/11/2013

Location: Philippines; Estancia, Iloilo

Description: SCP-3057-2; Anomalocaris, a Cambrian era meter-long ancestral arthropod resembling predatory shrimp.

Notes: Power Barge 103 (owned by Napocor, or National Power Company) experienced several leaks as a result of Typhoon Haiyan. This resulted in the emergence of several hundred instances of SCP-3057-2.

Over a dozen injuries along the coast have been linked to SCP-3057-2, which attacks its prey using barbs lining 2 appendages located near its mouth. These attacks have been blamed on a new species of invasive jellyfish. Foundation efforts to destroy all instances of SCP-3057-2 are ongoing.

SCP-3057-3.

Date: 09/12/2014

Location: Bangladesh; Sundarbans, Khulna Division

Description: SCP-3057-3; Meganeura, a Carboniferous era dragonfly with a maximum wingspan of 0.65 meters.³

Notes: The OT Southern Star 7 collided with a cargo vessel, leading to several hundred instances of SCP-3057-3.

Every instance of SCP-3057-3 expired shortly after manifesting; recent research suggests this is related to SCP-3057-3 having evolved in an oxygen-rich environment.⁴ All SCP-3057-3 instances have been recovered and destroyed.

Aftermath of SCP-3057-4 emergence.

Date: 03/05/2015

Location: United States of America; Pennsylvania, Philadelphia

Description: SCP-3057-4; Velociraptor, a Cretaceous era carnivorous theropod dinosaur approximately 2 meters in length and 0.5 meters high (at the hip).

Notes: A unit upset in an oil refinery caused several vessels in a tank-farm to catastrophically rupture. This led to the emergence of several dozen instances of SCP-3057-4. All instances are believed to have fled into the surrounding wetlands.⁵

To date, 11 casualties (9 injuries and 2 fatalities) have been linked to SCP-3057-4. Foundation operatives have provided media outlets with a false cover story describing the escape of several cassowaries from captivity. All efforts to destroy instances of SCP-3057-4 are to be conducted by MTF Phi-2 ("Clever Girls").

SCP-3057-5.

Date: 28/01/2017

Location: India; Chennai, Ennore Port

Description: SCP-3057-5; Megalodon, a Cenozoic era shark with a maximum length of 18 meters.⁶

Notes: The BW Maple collided with Dawn Kanchipuram, another oil-tanker. This lead to the manifestation of 6 instances of SCP-3057-5.

1 instance of SCP-3057-5 is confirmed as destroyed; the remaining 5 instances remain unaccounted for. After the loss of Beagle 2's crew, all further efforts to destroy instances of SCP-3057-5 are now conducted by MTF Theta-5 ("The Bigger Boat").

Agent Densworth: How did you do this? Was it a chemical?

PoI-8A051: The 'how' isn't as important as the 'why'.

Agent Densworth: Alright, I'll bite: Why did you decide to turn one ecological disaster into a much bigger one?

PoI-8A051: Really? You think a prehistoric algae bloom is worse than dumping five million barrels of poison into the ocean?

Agent Densworth: You can't pull an extinct species out of the Proterozoic era, hurl it into the modern world, then not expect dire consequences.

PoI-8A051: More dire than the consequences of hurling over a billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into our atmosphere every year?

Agent Densworth: For fuck's sake. Are you for real?

PoI-8A051: You're concerned over some obsolete organisms popping into existence and making life a little more complicated. Meanwhile, I'm concerned over how we are obliviously committed to a campaign to de-terraform the entire fucking planet. Are you for real?

Agent Densworth: I'm not here to argue with your bizarro-world Greenpeace bullshit, Al Gore. I'm here to find out how you did this. And you're not leaving this room until you tell me.

PoI-8A051: In that case, I suspect I will be here for quite a while.
