SCP-2005-JP appearing in Auburn Prison, the US, 1899. Earliest existing photograph.

Item #: SCP-2005-JP

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2005-JP cannot be contained at present. Efforts are to be focused on covering it up from the general public.

The Foundation and its allies have signed the Bastille Treaty, which includes cooperation with prisons and prohibition of public executions. For the full text, please reference Appendix 2005-JP-Bastille Treaty Clauses (Security Clearance Level 4/2005-JP required).

On the occassion of death penalty executions, a team of agents posing as prison guards and journalists will be present on-site to prepare for SCP-2005-JP’s manifestation. Upon confirmation, the scene will be put on a lockdown, the prisoner’s corpse retrieved, records falsified, the person in charge interviewed, and witnesses will be given Class-A amnestics upon completion. If the prisoner’s family wishes to retrieve the body, it’ll be delivered only after it’s cremated or embalmed.

To prepare for cases in which SCP-2005-JP appears outside of Foundation monitoring, a dedicated web crawler (I/O-Saint-Just) is to patrol the net, immediately blocking all images and messages leaking information about it. Then, the Intelligence Bureau will give the sender specific Class-A~B amnestic, with Foundation front company “The SillyCat Pictures” disseminating the cover story “scene from a movie”.

Description: SCP-2005-JP is a humanoid entity that appears in execution sites all over the world. It has the appearance of a young caucasian male, 180cm tall, wearing an early modern european red coat, and carrying a double-edged longsword. Although it speaks in french, SCP-2005-JP’s speech can be understood by people even if they have no knowledge of the language.

SCP-2005-JP appears just before a death penalty execution, at the execution side. The exact manifestation conditions are not known, but a common feature is that the prison guard or soldier working as the executioner have sympathy for the suject, and question the justifiability of capital punishment. The manifested SCP-2005-JP declares itself to be the executioner, and uses its longsword to decapitate the prisoner. In this situation, people around will be unable to interfere with SCP-2005-JP. During interviews, people in charge claimed that “they couldn’t approach SCP-2005-JP due to their overwhelming majesty”. SCP-2005-JP will disappear shortly after.

The earliest SCP-2005-JP manifestation confirmed by the History Department was at the execution of a member of the Paris Commune¹. Since then, and until this current document revision, SCP-2005-JP has manifested ███ times, and has intervened in the executions of prominent historical figures. Below is a selection of SCP-2005-JP events:

Executioner status: Some of the people in charge felt guilt over executing the prisoner due to her age. Furthermore, some questioned the ambiguity of the boundary between involuntary manslaughter and homicide in Saudi Arabia’s penal code.

SCP-2005-JP cannot be contained at the present time, however, due to its limited manifestation conditions, causing no harm to anyone other than the prisoner, and the concealment procedures established, Euclid is believed to be its appropriate class object.

Note 1 regarding Document-2005-JP-α: In 201█/██/█, documents were discovered in the archives of the Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, France, which may be referencing SCP-2005-JP. It’s believed to be part of a letter, but due to its poor condition, the author’s details are not known. Below is an excerpt:

Document-2005-JP-α "Notre-Dame letter": Original text in French, with some words not known.

[Impossible to decipher due to damage]as for the Vatican, be extremely careful not to let them know of it.

Next, about the executioners in crimson overcoats appearing on execution sites all over the place. That man is sacred and inviolable, and interference is impossible and futile. That man is the Monsieur de Paris, Charles-Henri Sanson⁴, who’s reincarnated by [Currently being decoded].

Although Monsieur Sanson did not hold the position of knight, his contributions to the Order and his knowledge in divine wisdom were second to none. My predecessor thought of him the most apt successor. I too believed the same. However, he refused, remaining forever loyal to the royal family.

My predecessor asked Monsieur Sanson what he wished for instead. He wished for the death penalty to be erradicated from the world. This was impossible for the Order to do. Mankind has not yet [Currently being decoded]. He wished, then, to continue to swing the sword of judgement to relieve the executioners who suffered under the weight of their sins.

How did my predecessor grant Monsieur Sanson’s wish? That, I do not know. Perhaps he used the [Currently being decoded] Sacrament of Reincarnation. He was qualified enough. Cursed by the family business of an executioner⁵, he was forced to take the lives of more than 2,700 people with his own hands. Who has spent a life enduring as much pain in the soul as he?

Refusing even the solace of death, Monsieur Sanson continues to act as an agent of unreasonable death penalties to this day. Until the death penalty is erradicated from this world, his soul will not know rest. For his sake, we must abolish this bigotry as soon as possible, and lead mankind towards divine wisdom.

Thus ends my correspondence. May thy path be blessed, Jacques de Molay​⁶

Note 2 regarding Intelligence Bureau report: In 2020/06/20, the Intelligent Bureau reported that the nature of SCP-2005-JP might have changed. That day, agent Togami, who was undercover within the Republic of █████████’s intelligence agency “█████ Military Security Command” due to suspicions of relations with GoI-███ (“Chaos Insurgency”), requested for help, with MTF Fire Rooster-8 (“Sōsei”⁷) storming the organization’s facility. Investigation revealed that all facility personnel besides agent Togami were found dead, decapitated. Below is an excerpt from agent Togami’s report:

Japanese Branch Intelligence Bureau debriefing log: Simplified due to the urgency of the situation.

Date: 2020/06/20
Location: Fire Rooster-8 Base Camp Medical Office
Interviewer: Agent Togami (Non-Aligned Nations Division, ███ Office member)
Interviewed: Agent Tachibana (Non-Aligned Nations Division, ███ Office Director)

---

〈Beginning omitted〉

Agent Togami: I apologize this is the way things ended up. 〈21:55:23〉

Agent Tachibana: Let’s leave that for later. First, your report. 〈21:55:27〉

Agent Togami: Of course. First, the Security Command is not a client for the Chaos Insurgency. The director and most of the management under him were members of the Insurgency. I’d honestly call the Security Command their ███ branch. Worst of all, ███ might be a puppet state under their control. 〈21:55:30〉

Agent Tachibana: Is the evidence inside of the usual personnel PC? 〈21:55:43〉

Agent Togami: Yes, everyone from Fire Rooster is collecting it, so I’ll check it later. [Groan] 〈21:55:47〉

Agent Tachibana: Does it hurt? Do you need painkillers? 〈21:55:53〉

Agent Togami: No, I’m fine. So, I was heading to the place where I’d hidden the communication device when suddenly, I had a gun pointed at me. “Pawn of the Foundation”, I heard. No idea how they found out. Shouldn’t even be an agent if I can’t figure that one out. 〈21:55:57〉

Agent Tachibana: Anything can happen when the Insurgency’s involved. In extreme cases, even mind-reading using telepathy isn’t off the table. But I digress. What then? 〈21:56:10〉

Agent Togami: I was tortured at their basement in what they called a “simplified trial”. They weren’t there to get me to spit info though, they just wanted to hurt me. Though I guess they figured out if I didn’t contact the Foundation within a certain period, the next to come would be an MTF squad. They decided to get rid of me and book it. By the way, my execution was ordered by, well, you know. 〈21:56:18〉

Agent Tachibana: Wait… No way, agent Hinakura?! 〈21:56:33〉

Agent Togami: Was she suspected and tested as well? Or did they simply want to give the rookie some courage? Hinakura seemed calm, but I could tell. The muzzle was shaking, and she looked as if she was about to break into tears at any moment. I tried to appeal to her with my eyes; to just shoot me quickly. But she wasn’t ready to shoot. And indeed, if you don’t shoot, you get killed. 〈21:56:48〉

Agent Tachibana: I see, and this is where Mr. Sanson appeared, no? An execution site, and an executioner who doesn’t want to kill. 〈21:57:03〉

Agent Togami: Haha, first time I was thankful for the existence of anomalies. He said it would absolve Hinakura from the guilt. But, what I saw was different from what’s described on the report. 〈21:57:09〉

Agent Tachibana: Different? How so? 〈21:57:18〉

Agent Togami: He was angry. He had such a look on his face, he looked like an Asura. 〈21:57:20〉

Agent Tachibana: What did he say? 〈21:57:27〉

Agent Togami: If I remember right, it was things like “How long will you keep this up?”, “Can’t you see this maiden’s pain?”, “The suffering of having executed my former lover⁸…” and more stuff like that, his spirit like a raging fire. 〈21:57:30〉

Agent Tachibana: Sorry, let me ask you this. Where is Hinakura? 〈21:57:39〉

Agent Togami: I don’t know. I think he said something to Hinakura, but I passed out. When I woke up, the place was already how you found it. 〈21:57:46〉

Agent Tachibana: I see. 〈21:57:56〉

Agent Togami: Are we done here, boss? I’d like to join the search for Hinakura. 〈21:58:00〉

Agent Tachibana: Don’t say stupid things. Eat your food, then go to bed. 〈21:58:06〉

〈Rest omitted〉

Analysis of security camera footage from within the Security Command facility shows Agent Hinakura, dressed in clothing resembling SCP-2005-JP, decapitating Security Command soldiers with a longsword. Currently, the Intelligence Bureau has deployed a search party for agent Hinakura around the Security Command facility.

Note 3 regarding Object Class reclassification: On 2020/06/24, Secretary-general ███ was found decapitated inside of the ██ Party building, ███. Based on witness testimony and security camera footage, agent Hinakura is believed to be the perpetrator. The research team believed agent Hinakura obtained an anomaly close to SCP-2005-JP, and was provisionally given the SCP-2005-JP-1 designation. Cover story “Assassination by anti-governmental forces” was disseminated to explain Secretary-general ███’s death.

On 2020/06/27、Head of State ███ was murdered by SCP-2005-JP-1 at the ██ Castle, ██. The following message was found on a wall at the scene, written in French:

To the successor of this foolish ruler, a command. Abolish the death penalty of this kingdom, and release all executioners. Otherwise, your reign will be short-lived.

Charles-Henri Sanson

Following this incident, SCP-2005-JP was reclassified as Keter. Currently, Special Containment Procedures are being revised. SCP-2005-JP-1’s designation has been formally approved, and efforts have shifted from search to containment. Cover story “Death by illness” was disseminated to explain Head of State ███’s death.

On 2020/06/29、President ████ was assassinated by SCP-2005-JP-1 at the ███ of █████ ███ Mosque. The same message as with ███’s case was found written on the walls at the scene. The research team proposes SCP-2005-JP-1’s targets to be “Heads of State from countries with the highest number of death penalty executions”, and propose the temporary evacuation of King █████ of ███████, President ███ of ███, and President █████ of █████. Cover story “Accidental death” was disseminated to explain President ████’s death.

AO-8901-SBOS

Note 4 Regarding AO-8901-SBOS: On 2020/07/01, a metal bell with a diameter of about 1m and height of 1.2m was found in the courtyard of Japanese Site-81IL. It was immediately taken to the laboratory for analysis, and no anomalies were discovered, temporarily being classified as an Anomalous Item (AO-8901-SBOS). Attached to the bell was a message card. Its contents are the following:

Intelligence Bureau Document GoI-███-013: Infohazard and Memetic hazard-free.

Dear ladies and gentlemen from the Foundation,

Regarding Monsieur Sanson’s rampage, I deeply apologize. We do not know hat has driven him mad to that extent. Even after France got rid of the guillotine, the world continued to make use of the death penalty. His compassion was so great, he simply couldn’t keep on overlooking this.

The object sent is a heirloom of the Sanson family, and the relic from which its family crest originated⁹. Please charge it with prayer and strike it in front of Sanson. Perhaps this will return him to a sane state.

Originally, we were to take responsibility, but due to us discarding our emotions to reach divine wisdom, we are unable to charge it with prayer. However, you people, guardians of the Veil, must understand Monsieur Sanson’s suffering.

On behalf of my ancestors, I implore you. Please rescue our sworn friend Charles-Henri Sanson.

Order of the Light¹⁰

Paris Division Grand Master ████ ██████

The O5 Council discussed using AO-8901-SBOS to deal with SCP-2005-JP-1. The main opinion of the supporters was that “If SCP-2005-JP-1 continues to kill Heads of State, it could lead to a UP-Class Social Change Scenario, which needs to be settled as soon as possible.”, while the main opinion of the opposition was that “There is little known about the Order of the Light, and very little reason to trust them”. After a final vote of 6-for, 7-against, the use of AO-8901-SBOS to deal with SCP-2005-JP-1 was rejected.

Note 5 regarding attack of Site-81IL: On 2020/07/04, SCP-2005-JP-1 attacked Japanese Site-81IL. Site security and agents present responded, but SCP-2005-JP used multiple anomalous abilities to break through security and enter deep into the Site. Details are still being investigated. Below is SCP-2005-JP-1’s behavior, captured by the Site’s security cameras. For the sake of simplification, parts that do not show any special behavior have been omitted.

[SCP-2005-JP-1 begins moving forward] 〈14:35:17〉

SCP-2005-JP-1: Aren’t you the young man from before? Why are you obstructing my path? I’ve released you from the karma of an executioner, haven’t I? Are you afraid of the O5, perhaps? 〈14:37:33〉

Agent Togami: No, no one’s forcing me to do this! 〈14:37:42〉

SCP-2005-JP-1: Together, we vowed to accomplish our revolution! 〈14:38:10〉(Certainly, I hate mankind. Yes, I hated them. I don’t have noble ideals like yours. I’m not qualified to start a revolution.)
　
Agent Togami: Hinakura, can you hear me?! 〈14:38:16〉

SCP-2005-JP-1: That’s not true! You have the right to freedom! 〈14:38:21〉(Senpai, shoot. You can shoot now.)

Agent Togami: What? S-shoot, me? 〈14:38:26〉

SCP-2005-JP-1: Now, once again, let’s unite! 〈14:38:30〉 (That’s why you’re here, no? Come on, quickly.)

Agent Togami: I don’t want to. 〈14:38:35〉

SCP-2005-JP-1: A world… A world where no one has to kill anyone else ever again. 〈14:38:37〉(I don’t want to either! And even now you can’t do it yourself? You coward!)

Unidentified female voice: That’s enough, now. Let’s entrust the children’s generation to the children, yes? 〈14:38:20〉

Unidentified male voice: But nothing will change. 〈14:38:27〉

Unidentified female voice: Change isn’t always something you can see with your own two eyes. Besides, there’s things that never change no matter the area. Isn’t that right? 〈14:38:30〉

Agent Togami: Eh? 〈14:38:37〉

Unidentified female voice: I believe in you, and I will continue to do so. 〈14:38:39〉

Note 6 regarding post-processing 1: On 2020/07/09, Site-81IL’s damage assessment was completed. Although barrier walls and elevator facilities were destroyed, no containment breaches or human casualties were registered. Currently, repair work is under Director Dōsaku’s supervision.

AO-8901-SBOS was confirmed missing from storage. When agent Togami was questioned regarding AO-8901-SBOS logs between its manifestation and disappearance, he explained that “the details are fuzzy, but I remember vague images of a huge gate and a vast rose garden”.

SCP-2005-JP-1 is under quarantine at Site-81IL, with no particular anomalies detected. Regarding memories from 2020/06/20 to the present, [REDACTED]

Note 7 regarding post-processing 2: On 2020/08/09, SCP-2005-JP-1’s quarantine period ended, and was declassified. It was determined she was not responsible for the murders of the Heads of State, and no punishment was served. If no problems occur, she is to return to duty in a few days.

No SCP-2005-JP manifestation has been detected since. Revision to Special Containment Procedures have been halted. Reclassification of Object Class to Neutralized is under consideration by the Classification Committee.
