Special Containment Procedures
SCP-5464 (right) engaging with a Polish soldier (left), 1942.
During its inactive phase, SCP-5464 is to remain within its enclosure located in the park around Site-120. It is to be monitored for any changes.
Should SCP-5464 enter its activation phase, MTF Omega-6 ("Bearly Enough") is to locate the entity through the GPS tracking device implanted in its posterior and monitor it until the phase ends.
All SCP-5464 activities are not to be interfered with in any manner. Any attempts to interfere with such on account of any party are to be prevented by MTF Omega-6 ("Bearly Enough").
Description
SCP-5464 is a male Syrian brown bear (Ursus arctos syriacus), measuring approximately 182 cm in height and weighing 230 kg. During its inactive phase, SCP-5464 bears no anomalous traits and behaves in the same manner as a standard member of its species.
SCP-5464 will enter its activation phase, manifesting its anomalous traits, at the inception of an event of historical or political significance to Poland. In this phase, SCP-5464 will demanifest from its current location and will manifest in a place of significance to the inciting event, becoming an ongoing active participant. Though testing has found that SCP-5464 exhibits no signs of higher intelligence on its own, it has been found to be able to speak and coordinate its actions in such a way that benefits the country of Poland.
Human subjects that are unaware of SCP-5464’s true form, or that lack memetic resistance, will be unable to perceive it as such; the typical subject will invariably perceive and describe SCP-5464 as a human of generally uniform appearance. This effect is similarly present in all media depicting SCP-5464.

BEAR REPORT — THE YEAR OF 2000
It has been a good millennium securing countries
may the next one be as good as this one
Guardian Bear Status:
one intercepted by unknown individuals
Should Polish Guardian Bear ("Wojtek") not respond within three months
replacement for Polish Guardian Bear is to be found as soon as possible
current candidates for temporary replacements:
German Guardian Bear ("Hans")
Russian Guardian Bear ("Ivan")
Due to bears not being native to all countries
and the growing number of events requiring interventions
we have decided to expand the meaning of the word "bear"
to include honorary members of the Bear Watch
current proposals are to use animals native to unreachable countries
such as emus for Australia
and potentially giraffes for the whole of Africa
more updates will come soon
thank you for your cooperation
