ending will be a full tilt into tactical theology
protocols built around a tip-toe dance of rite and ritual
using the angel of the moon as a shield against the rest of the universe
an ugly reflection of everything humanity ever wanted from stars they wished upon
which does kinda fit why the sun isn't too funky
sun worship is quite extensively associated with human sacrifice in the interest of keeping the solar cycle going
sun already does that, so…
Item Number: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Conscienta1
Special Containment Procedures: Visibility-reducing aerosols are to be periodically dispersed over population centres, and air pollution and visibility interest groups manipulated to disregard these issues. Aggressive light and air pollution policies are to be implemented where possible.
All ongoing and future astronomical observations and activities beyond the scope of SCP-XXXX monitoring are forbidden. The illusion of undisturbed civilian academic output in affected fields is to be maintained via regulated dissemination of older observation data and research results from Foundation probes and space observatories.
Embedded elements in the media and entertainment industries are to push for the production and promotion of popular media with themes of cosmic horror and astrophobia, but specifically excluding selenophobia.
All Foundation personnel are to remain indoors after sunset where possible, preferably with curtains drawn or blinds lowered. Personnel are strongly advised against observation of the night sky.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a collective designation for multiple antagonistic theological entities located in the Solar System and beyond. While direct divine intervention capabilities of these entities are typically restricted to the confines of their respective gravity wells, influence from SCP-XXXX entities may propagate through line-of-sight contact with sapient agents on Earth, forcibly initiating sightborne covenants.
Such sightborne covenants typically align with the aspect of the conferring SCP-XXXX entity, with associated marks ranging from psychological/mental instability, hallucinations, and coercion, to the triggering of substantial and irreversible theometamorphosis.
Attached is an updated table of SCP-XXXX instances and their aspects, as inferred from conditions on abandoned Foundation facilities within their area of effect.
