SCP-1142 : A Cry for Help

SCP-1142 is a Goliath tracked mine (original designation Leichter Ladungsträger Goliath (Sd.Kfz. 303b)) as used by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War. SCP-1142 shows no signs of aging and although originally designed to carry an explosive charge, contains a heavily modified Kw.E.a Wehrmacht radio receiver within its housing. The modified components are of a design and complexity inconsistent with the level of German technology during the middle of the twentieth century. SCP-1142 relies on a gasoline engine for propulsion and carries an early model thermal battery for the operation of the receiver.

At irregular intervals, transmissions in German have been recorded from SCP-1142. In all cases, contact has been made by an individual referring to himself as Brigadeführer ████ ███████ (designated SCP-1142-1). Historical research has verified his existence, though records show him to have been killed during Allied military action at █████ on ██/██/19██. Analysis of transmissions recorded have yielded several critical points of divergence from our timeline. These include:

• Several individuals not currently known to have held offices within the Wehrmacht occupying key positions within that body

• Large-scale deaths among German civilians from an unknown pathogen with symptoms resembling acute necrotizing fasciitis

• A sinkhole with a diameter of approximately sixteen kilometers appearing in the Lublin province of Poland in late 19██

• Reports of mass destruction of German settlements by unknown forces

• Allied powers isolating the European continent, with troop action being focused on containment of [REDACTED]

• Development of reality gating technology in 19██

In addition, SCP-1142-1 claims to be broadcasting from ██████████, Austria in the year 19██. In light of this and the aforementioned divergences, transmissions received through SCP-1142 have been deemed to originate from an alternate reality iteration designated Dm-AX/15487-A. Additional classification as intertemporal is pending. Recorded transmissions from SCP-1142 indicate Dm-AX/15487-A is experiencing or has experienced a ZK-Class Reality Failure scenario.

At this time, communications are restricted to receiving and recording the signal broadcast by SCP-1142-1 from Dm-AX/15487-A; attempts to initiate contact with or send a signal to Dm-AX/15487-A have proven ineffectual. Following the events of Foundation communication with SCP-1322-A, further research into initiating contact with SCP-1142-1 or responding to its transmissions has been suspended.
