SCP-2675

"I sail for the god child, born of the atom. My flesh burns with the light of his knowledge. I am no longer life but time and energy. Is that answer enough for you?"

- Transmission from SCP-2675

SCP-2675 is an anomalous vessel pursued by the SCP Foundation, who class it as a Keter-class (extremely dangerous) anomaly and are actively attempting to sink it. SCP-2675 is the Soviet-built nuclear icebreaker Sibir launched in 1977, and lost in 1992 after being sent to investigate anomalous source of electromagnetic radiation in the Arctic Ocean.

SCP-2675 was next seen in 1995, when it appeared in the Bering Strait and attacked and sunk several American commercial shipping vessels. SCP Foundation contacts within the US Navy intercepted reports the attacks, and deployed an Arleigh Bruke-class guided missile destroyer affiliated with the Foundation, the Altman to investigate.

The Altman made contact with the Sibir and demanded the icebreaker identify itself. A voice associated with the vessel, now known as SCP-2675-1 responded, referencing him serves an entity known as the "god child", and refused to return to port and be detained for the ship's role in the attacks.

The Sibir then transformed, deploying two directed energy weapons speculated to be of a microwave nature. The Altman responded by launching a Tomahawk cruise missile, at which point the Sibir teleported away and reappeared at point blank range from the Altman, which it rammed, severely damaging the destroyer.

The Altman fired its guns at SCP-2675, causing some damage, but SCP-2675 retaliated with its unknown armament, which caused luminous humanoid figures which emitted lethal doses of radiation to manifest on board the Altman. The entire crew of the Altman was killed in the battle, and the transcript of the battle is only known from video records recovered from the barely-floating wreck of the Altman the next day.

The next year, agents of GRU-P, a Russian unit involved in investigating paranormal activity, were granted asylum in the US after they relinquished documents on the last transmissions from the Sibir. The last known transmission from the Sibir prior to its 1992 disappearance was revealed to be the captain rambling about encountering and bringing on board the "cradle" of the "god child" entity referred to the transmissions prior to the attack on the Altman. The captain claimed that he and his crew had been transformed to a higher plain of existence which he described as sapient masses of radioactive atoms. The message also stated the captain planned to locate the other "god children" and convert all humanity to this state.

When SCP-2675 next appeared, it had apparently repaired the damage, and appeared to possess structures not previously seen. SCP-2675 was known to regularly attack military and civilian vessels since the 1995 incident.

In 2005, it was discovered that the attacks on shipping appeared to be a secondary objective. The Sibir attacked and destroyed a fishing trawler off Greenland, before it was engaged by an aircraft resembling zeppelin used as part of an (obviously fictional) experimental Nazi nuclear energy program that encountered and stored an unspecified anomalous object on the airship. The airship and the Sibir both sprouted several directed energy weapons firing an invisible beam which caused enough thermal shock to severely damage both combatants. The participants in the battle were also seen to cause meteorological disturbances, including storms and clouds. During the battle, nearby ships intercepted this radio message on all channels, presumably originating from either the Sibir or the zeppelin. The message demanded that the other anomalous craft "surrender their cradle" as "they are not worthy".

After sustaining severe damage, both participants disappeared from the scene. The Sibir was later observed again continuing its usual activities of indiscriminately attacking shipping, while the zeppelin was never seen again.

Because of its extreme hostility to anything it encounters, the firepower of its advanced weaponry, as well as its anomalous capabilities such as teleportation, self repair, and weather manipulation, the Foundation intends to destroy the Sibir as soon as it is next sited using air strikes.
