SCP: A TRUE ANOMALY

Chapter 34: SCP-9743's anomalous abilities



From a moment to another, suddenly, SCP-9743 gave a big book with old theme to O5-4, who then retrieved to O5 Council and share the book, and they all saw the content of the book, having a deep study and description along effects of each anomalous ability of SCP-9743.

Detailed Study and Description of SCP-9743's Anomalous Abilities

Bone Magic Description:

SCP-9743 can summon spectral bones either in mid-air or embedded into surfaces. The summoned bones appear almost ethereal but possess immense physical durability and sharpness. Their toughness and structural integrity scale directly with the strength of SCP-9743's soul and magical reserves.

Applications:

Offensive Use: Bones can act as projectiles, piercing weapons, or spiked traps.

Defensive Use: SCP-9743 can create barriers, shields, or an encasing wall of bones for protection.

Limitations: The size, density, and frequency of the bones summoned are dependent on SCP-9743's stamina and available magic. Prolonged use may deplete magical reserves.

Notes:

The versatility of this ability makes it SCP-9743's foundational strategy for both offense and defense.

Gaster Blaster Description:

The Gaster Blaster manifests as dragon-like skeletal constructs with sharp, predatory features, capable of firing concentrated energy beams. Their size and destructive power are scalable depending on SCP-9743's will and magical reserves.

Properties: Can vary from small, handheld constructs to colossal versions capable of annihilating large areas. Constructs can act autonomously once summoned, targeting specific enemies.

Behavior: Energy beams are potent enough to pierce or disintegrate most materials.

Limitations: The size and intensity of the blasters significantly drain SCP-9743's magic.

Special Notes:

This ability is especially effective in targeting high-durability entities such as SCP-682, making it a vital combat tool.

Fire Flames Description:

SCP-9743 can conjure anomalous flames from his hands, beneath the ground, or from the sky. These flames do not behave like conventional fire and exhibit greater heat intensity and versatility.

Applications: Offensive: Direct flame attacks, large-scale incineration, or area denial through the creation of fire barriers.

Psychological: Flames can be used to intimidate or disorient opponents.

Limitations: Prolonged use may deplete magical reserves. Flames appear to lose potency if SCP-9743 is heavily fatigued.

Notes:

The flames are highly adaptable and have proven effective in both combat and containment scenarios.

Red Knives Description:

SCP-9743 can summon glowing crimson knives in mid-air or on surfaces. These knives can be used as melee weapons or launched as ranged projectiles.

Applications: The knives can slash, stab, or explode upon impact. Capable of launching slashing waves of energy that can hit distant targets.

Special Ability: Special Hell

By channeling determination, SCP-9743 can use a red knife to create a large surface of bright red light. This area expands upward and downward, dealing massive damage to anyone within, including SCP-9743.

Limitations: Special Hell is extremely dangerous to SCP-9743 and should only be used as a last resort.

Notes:

This ability is precise and deadly, with Special Hell adding a catastrophic dimension to its potential.

Magic Description:

Magic is the core energy source of SCP-9743, governing his life force and all anomalous abilities. Without magic, SCP-9743 would likely cease to function.

Properties: Magic serves as SCP-9743's stamina pool. Magic replenishes over time, though it can be exhausted through overuse.

Notes:

SCP-9743's reliance on magic makes it a double-edged sword. Careful management of his reserves is critical in prolonged engagements.

Determination Description:

A unique anomalous force, Determination allows SCP-9743 to refuse death, effectively reviving himself. It significantly boosts his power when he absorbs Determination from external sources, such as human souls.

Risks: Determination is highly volatile for monsters, often causing melting, amalgamation, or insanity. Using infinite determination results in SCP-9743 experiencing deep exhaustion, his original death, and a dissociative state.

Notes:

Determination underpins SCP-9743's resilience, bordering on immortality. However, it poses existential risks when abused.

'Player' Description:

Referred to by SCP-9743 as an unknown entity capable of influencing decisions and choices. The Player lacks a voice of its own but uses SCP-9743's voice to express itself.

Notes:

The Player remains poorly understood. Further observation is required to determine its exact influence on SCP-9743's behavior and actions.

Soul Absorption Description:

SCP-9743 can absorb the souls of both monsters and humans, amplifying his strength but introducing psychological instability. Absorbed entities retain partial consciousness, capable of exerting influence or weakening SCP-9743 from within.

Risks: Absorbed souls can betray SCP-9743, creating a high-risk, high-reward situation. Possession or secondary ability usage by absorbed entities is possible.

Notes:

This ability is powerful but highly situational due to its psychological dangers.

Omega Blaster Description:

The Omega Blaster is a larger, horned version of the Gaster Blaster. It possesses demonic features and emits a deep, unsettling laugh. The construct can absorb energy, redirecting it as a devastating energy beam or exploding in a massive blast.

Notes:

This ability is SCP-9743's ultimate weapon, with devastating offensive capabilities and significant risks to surrounding areas.

Blue Magic Description:

Blue Magic encompasses telekinesis and the summoning of blue spectral bones, which deal damage when touched by moving targets.

Abilities:

Telekinesis: SCP-9743 can alter the gravity of objects or individuals, rendering them immobile or flinging them across distances.

Blue Bones: Force targets into stationary positions to avoid damage.

Notes:

This ability emphasizes control over opponents, combining psychological and physical pressure.

Green Magic Description:

Green Magic is SCP-9743's restorative ability, capable of healing both physical injuries and damaged souls.

Limitations: High magical cost restricts frequent usage.

Notes:

This ability underscores SCP-9743's potential for compassion and his role as a protector, despite his destructive tendencies.

Karma Description:

A passive effect imbued in SCP-9743's attacks, Karma—or Karmic Retribution—afflicts targets based on their LV (Level of Violence). The higher the LV, the more damage Karma inflicts.

Effects: Acts as a poison-like effect, dealing slow, continuous damage. Restricts healing until the Karma effect dissipates.

Notes:

Karma serves as a moral balancing mechanism, punishing those with greater bloodshed in their past. It reflects SCP-9743's role as both judge and executioner.

O5 Council Report: Analysis and Commentary on SCP-9743's Abilities Introduction

The O5 Council convened to analyze SCP-9743's anomalous abilities following recent events involving its direct confrontation with the Scarlet King and subsequent containment challenges. The following document outlines the Council's insights, interpretations, and strategic considerations for leveraging SCP-9743's abilities while mitigating associated risks.

Bone Magic

Comments:

Bone Magic demonstrates extraordinary versatility, being both offensive and defensive. Its scalability relative to SCP-9743's magical reserves makes it a reliable tool for containment breaches and hostile engagements. However, the Council notes the ability's potential for large-scale collateral damage if misapplied.

O5-4: "The adaptability of this ability rivals the containment potential of any humanoid anomaly in Foundation custody. However, the precision with which SCP-9743 uses it raises concerns. Should he decide to turn against us, Bone Magic could make Site-level containment virtually impossible."

Recommendation:

Assign testing of Bone Magic in controlled environments to evaluate its effectiveness against hostile SCP entities, especially SCP-682 and SCP-096.

Gaster Blaster

Comments:

The Gaster Blaster's destructive capabilities are unparalleled. Its autonomous targeting potential makes it an invaluable tool for eliminating high-threat anomalies like SCP-682 or large-scale Chaos Insurgency operations. However, its unpredictable nature and massive energy output pose risks to bystanders.

O5-8: "The blasters are a nightmare if unleashed unchecked. We should ensure that SCP-9743's trust in the Foundation remains unbroken. A rogue Gaster Blaster barrage would be catastrophic for our personnel."

Recommendation:

SCP-9743 should be monitored closely during active combat engagements. Usage of Gaster Blasters must be accompanied by a Foundation handler to ensure adherence to mission parameters.

Fire Flames

Comments:

SCP-9743's ability to summon flames from multiple vectors (hands, ground, sky) is highly effective for crowd control and area denial. However, the intensity of the flames suggests they could easily breach containment or cause widespread structural damage.

O5-5: "This ability is straightforward but terrifyingly effective. If SCP-9743 were to target vital Foundation infrastructure—say, the main containment wing of Site-19—the results would be disastrous."

Recommendation:

Evaluate the efficacy of Fire Flames in controlled containment breach scenarios. Ensure SCP-9743 receives appropriate briefings to limit unnecessary damage during Foundation missions.

Red Knives and Special Hell

Comments:

Red Knives are precise, fast, and deadly, making them ideal for eliminating specific threats. However, Special Hell introduces significant risks, including the possibility of SCP-9743 injuring himself. The Council recognizes the catastrophic potential of this ability and advises extreme caution.

O5-3: "The destructive radius of Special Hell is alarming. While it could neutralize nearly any threat, including other SCPs, the indiscriminate damage it causes makes it a last-resort option. If SCP-9743 loses control, it could result in his own termination—something we cannot afford at this stage."

Recommendation:

Special Hell must only be used under direct O5 authorization. SCP-9743 should be conditioned to view this ability as a measure of absolute last resort.

Determination

Comments:

Determination is the most concerning aspect of SCP-9743's abilities. The power to refuse death makes him effectively immortal, but its volatile interaction with his soul creates risks of meltdown or insanity. Furthermore, the revival process leaves SCP-9743 temporarily vulnerable and emotionally unstable.

O5-1: "This ability is both SCP-9743's greatest strength and his greatest weakness. His repeated exposure to death and revival could compromise his mental state, potentially leading to psychological breakdowns or uncooperative behavior."

O5-9: "The concept of infinite determination is both fascinating and horrifying. Should SCP-9743 ever lose faith in the Foundation, we may be dealing with a threat capable of rewriting existence."

Recommendation:

Continued psychological evaluation is essential. Dr. Sophia Adler should intensify her counseling sessions with SCP-9743 to address the long-term effects of Determination on his psyche.

Soul Absorption

Comments:

The ability to absorb souls is an unpredictable power that introduces severe complications. While it significantly enhances SCP-9743's abilities, it also creates vulnerabilities, as absorbed entities can betray him from within. The Council is particularly concerned about the ethical and existential implications of this ability.

O5-2: "Soul absorption makes SCP-9743 both a savior and a potential existential hazard. The possibility of SCP-9743 being overwhelmed by hostile souls, or worse, possessed, is too great to ignore."

Recommendation:

Strictly prohibit SCP-9743 from absorbing Foundation personnel or entities without explicit O5 approval. Further studies on the absorbed entities' mental states are needed to determine long-term effects on SCP-9743.

Omega Blaster

Comments:

The Omega Blaster represents SCP-9743's most destructive offensive capability. The construct's self-destruction mechanism, combined with its ability to absorb and redirect energy, makes it uniquely suited for large-scale threats. However, its immense power makes collateral damage nearly unavoidable.

O5-7: "The Omega Blaster is SCP-9743's nuclear option. While it's effective, its sheer power makes it difficult to deploy in populated or delicate containment environments. Any miscalculation could cost us entire sites."

Recommendation:

Limit Omega Blaster usage to large-scale emergencies involving Keter-class breaches or external threats such as Chaos Insurgency sieges.

Blue Magic

Comments:

Blue Magic allows SCP-9743 to control gravity and restrict movement, making it invaluable for containment efforts. The psychological strain caused by Blue Bones and Telekinesis can disorient opponents, giving SCP-9743 a tactical edge.

O5-6: "This ability is perfect for controlling dangerous SCPs like SCP-096. If SCP-9743 can immobilize a target, re-containment becomes significantly easier."

Recommendation:

Prioritize the use of Blue Magic for containment operations. Further testing is needed to evaluate its effects on SCPs with non-standard physiologies, such as SCP-106.

Green Magic

Comments:

SCP-9743's ability to heal physical injuries and damaged souls is a rare and invaluable resource. The Council notes that Green Magic has been instrumental in maintaining SCP-9743's rapport with Foundation personnel.

O5-10: "This ability has potential applications far beyond containment. SCP-9743 could revolutionize our medical treatments for personnel and even SCPs with unstable souls."

Recommendation:

Conduct controlled experiments to explore the limits of Green Magic's healing potential. SCP-9743 should be encouraged to use this ability in non-hostile situations to foster goodwill among staff.

Karma (Karmic Retribution)

Comments:

Karma is an intrinsic effect tied to SCP-9743's morality-based abilities. By punishing individuals with higher LV (Level of Violence), it serves as both a weapon and a judgment mechanism. The Council views this as a reflection of SCP-9743's inherent moral compass, which aligns with the Foundation's goals.

O5-11: "Karma is as much a psychological weapon as it is a physical one. It forces adversaries to confront their own actions, weakening them both mentally and physically. This makes SCP-9743 uniquely suited for combating hostile entities with high kill counts."

Recommendation:

Incorporate Karma into SCP-9743's containment strategies, particularly against Chaos Insurgency operatives or SCPs with a history of violent behavior.

Final Remarks

The O5 Council acknowledges SCP-9743's immense potential as both an asset and a liability. His abilities position him as one of the most versatile and powerful entities under Foundation custody. However, their inherently destructive nature and emotional toll on SCP-9743 necessitate careful monitoring.

Strategic Priority: Maintain SCP-9743's loyalty to the Foundation through ethical treatment, transparent communication, and ongoing psychological support. Any breach in trust could result in an existential-level threat to the Foundation and humanity as a whole.
