Description: SCP-CN-3112 is an interstellar-level spacecraft. Carbon-14 dating of recovered materials indicates that the object was constructed approximately 52,000 years ago; however, the SCP Foundation logo frequently appears in records recovered from the object, as well as a similar symbol of unknown meaning. In addition, the spacecraft's design strongly resembles Foundation plans for interstellar spacecraft.
Based on the recovered information, SCP-CN-3112 may contain the following structures:
A room located at the top of the spaceship's bridge, seemingly meant for "discussions" and "trials". Based on photographs, the ceiling of the room is adorned with a large decorative sculpture in the shape of a coiled snake. The layout of the room is deliberately designed to consist of several concentric rings of seats at different heights, which surround a platform directly under the serpent's head.
It is currently unknown what form of government SCP-CN-3112's society had; however, records of a high-ranking individual being put on trial for "contacting other races" exist. During this trial, the defendant believed that it was appropriate to establish friendly relations with other species and share their "infinite energy source", while the plaintiff's records have been expunged. Following this, the court data appears to have been deliberately deleted or destroyed; it is currently thought that this is related to a violent incident involving military action.The largest region of the ship, seemingly spanning the entirety of the lowest floor. Split into three regions: the "field", the "forest" and the "sea". Responsible for maintaining the environmental system and supplying food. The map of this region indicates facilities such as tilled farmland, animal ranches, and processing plants, as well as living areas. Based on the environmental investigation report, ferns and gymnosperms are the primary plant life, while the farmed animals are primarily large arthropods and four-legged vertebrates. Compared to Earth, organisms within SCP-CN-3112 require more oxygen and sunlight.
Based on the residents' average consumption per capita and the estimated biomass content of these organisms, the Department of Biology estimates that SCP-CN-3112's food supply will remain stable for a maximum of 200 years. However, recovered information indicates that these animals had been processed with an "extraneous" technology that accelerates the growth cycle. Other scientific reports indicate that the animals in the "forest" and "sea" have been similarly processed to resemble extinct species.Originally thought to be similar to a public cemetery; however, it was later discovered that SCP-CN-3112's residents typically process and reuse the corpses of their deceased, and that the "graveyard" was actually a classified document archive.
The storage technology of the archive far exceeds the Foundation's current level, and as such only limited information can be recovered. External records indicate that the archives were last accessed 4000 years ago. As such, the credentials and passkey have been lost.A workshop in a corner of the lowest floor. Records indicate that this facility can supply enough energy to enable space travel, maintain the environmental systems and supply residents' daily use, excluding additional energy consumption. Some artwork created by SCP-CN-3112's residents are themed around this facility, typically depicting it as a large, glowing snake.
Initial technical documents recovered from the "graveyard" indicate that the engine uses a currently unknown "zero-time energy", which uses "possible energy" from future timelines to supply energy in the present. Its operating principle may be similar to theoretical vacuum zero point energy perpetual motion machines.
Addendum 3112.1: Discovery
On 2048年07月03日, the Foundation's deep space telescopes indicated a strong explosion had occurred in the Oort cloud.
On 09/13, unmanned probes from Foundation space outposts arrived at the location and discovered a large quantity of scattered, damaged machine parts and other objects located at the edge of the Oort cloud. However, other than a 1.3 light year void in the Oort cloud, no other traces were left.
