Special Containment Procedures: 6 FHT Class Security Frigates, along with Aquatic Research Vessel Herron will maintain a seven-point blockade around Moaha Island.1 At the beginning of each lunar month2, a varied assortment of food must be deposited into this islands volcanic crater, including:
- 40-50kg Vegetables (ex. cassava, taro, sweet potato, purple yam).
- 30-40kg Fruits (ex. mango, pinapple, cherimoya, jackfruit).
- 50-80kg Fish (ex. Tuna, Salmon, Marlin, Dorado).
- 40-80kg Assorted nuts, herbs, and seaweed.
- 60-80kg Pork, shredded/smoked.
These provisions, based on the staple foods of a pacific-native society, have a 78-83% chance of being accepted by SCP-4338. Should a deposit be rejected, the appointed "leader" should proceed to an isolated location to avoid destruction of Foundation property and additional loss of life. For more details, see "4338-DN Event Overview" below.
