He Heard It.

CLASSIFIED EYES ONLY O5-7 Report on SCP-1959

“He heard it.”

“What did you say?”

“He heard it!”

Agent Kormorov gave Agent Ramirez a look. “What do you mean ‘he heard it’?” he said.

“1959, it’s talking.” Ramirez replied, breathless.

“How is that even possible?” Kormorov stammered. SCP-1959, “The Lost Cosmonaut”. First positively sighted in 1971, all the Foundation knew about it was that it was an… Entity… That had been orbiting Earth for some period of time. An entity that inhabited what appeared to be a Soviet SK-1 space suit. An entity that had been observed to move and respond to some unknown outside stimulus, but had never been fully analyzed and certainly had never broadcasted or communicated in any way.

Agent Ramirez shoved a cassette tape at Kormorov. “Play it.” He stated.

Kormorov obliged and put the tape in his deck, pushing the play button. At first there was static, and then a carrier wave for a few seconds and then a surprisingly clear but distant sounding voice in Russian…

Zarya-1 Zarya-1 Pozhaluysta, vkhodite! Ty tam? YA… YA tak kholodno . YA vizhu vse. Zarya-1 Zarya-1 Pozhaluysta pomogite! Zarya-1 Zarya-1 Pozhaluysta pomogite!

“What is he saying?” Agent Ramirez muttered.

“He’s saying he’s cold.” Kormorov replied plainly.

«YA…YA tak kholodno.»

“I… I’m so cold.”

«YA vizhu vse.»

“I see everything.”

Agent Kormorov translated for O5-7 as the tape played. O5-7 asked for the tape to be stopped. After some thought, he finally spoke. “It’s cold? And what does it mean ‘I see everything’?”

“We’re not sure what it means.” Kormorov said, dejectedly.

“Do we know anything about this ‘Zarya-1’?” O5-7 asked.

“’Zarya’ means Dawn or Sunrise in Russian, sir. We do know that this was a callsign used for the Baikonur Cosmodrome around the time of Yuri Gagarin.”

“So it’s basically saying the equivalent of ‘Huston, we have a problem’.” O5-7 mused, chuckling to himself. “40 something years of observation and this is all we get when it finally communicates?”

Kormorov started to reply when O5-7 interrupted. “At least tell me we took care of whoever got this audio.”

“Yes, sir. Amnesiacs were properly dispensed and he was released. We confiscated all of his radio equipment.”

“How come no one else has heard 1959?” O5-7 followed up.

“It appears the subject was using a radio that was Soviet surplus, from around the time we suspect 1959 would have entered space.” Kormorov replied. “Other Soviet surplus radios have been tested on the same frequencies, and the subject’s radio is the only one 1959 has been heard on.”

“I trust you’ve properly filed it away?”

“Yes sir, the radio equipment is secured under 1959-2.”

“Very good.” O5-7 stood up from his desk and approached Agent Kormorov. “You and Agent Ramirez have done excellent work on this. If we can manage to communicate with 1959 and somehow manage to contain it, you both could be up for a commendation.”

“Thank you, sir. Just doing our job.” Kormorov beamed.

Zarya-1 Zarya-1 Pozhaluysta, vkhodite. Gde ty? Mne tak kholodno. Pomogi mne, pozhaluysta. Net … Vot ona snova! Pozhaluysta! NET! ZA CHTO TY TAK SO MNOY?! Pozhaluysta, ostav'te menya v pokoye!! Zarya-1 Zarya-1, pozhaluysta, pomogite mne. YA vse vizhu. Eto … Vidit vse …
