Mechanical probe surveys to a maximum range of 100 light years will attempt to ascertain the commonality and range of SCP-3426, and manned excursions of post-3426 planets are currently in the planning process. Investigation of phenomena related to SCP-3426 will take place under Operation GREY VOICES. Additional measures may be taken in the event that the collective human race approaches attainment of Type I civilization status (as defined on the Kardeshev scale) 2. Other areas of social and technological progress that could potentially result in an occurrence of SCP-3426 on Earth must be prevented by any reasonable means currently available. As such, scientific progress into a unified physics hypothesis 1 and the creation of infinitely sustainable energy should be heavily impeded.

Until the nature of SCP-3426 can be definitively ascertained, containment should focus on preventing as many of the theorized conditions for its occurrence as possible. Artist rendering of HD-85512B, designated post-3426-14.
