<p>A selfie recieved in an email from D. Partment, the self-proclaimed Chair of SCP-8592.</p>
</div>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Personnel who receive emails from SCP-8592 are to report them as spam and delete them. SCP-8592 has been integrated into the Foundation because it cannot be removed from SCiPnet servers. It's hypothesized that keeping it occupied with its self-assigned occupation is the best form of containment.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8592 is the Department Department, a nonexistent Foundation department operated by an unknown party. Mentions of SCP-8592 began appearing in official Foundation documents in April 2016, but due to the number of Foundation departments it was listed with, SCP-8592 was not properly noted as a discrepancy until December, when it began sending emails to random personnel members.</p>
<p>SCP-8592 is operated by an entity claiming to be a member of Foundation personnel self-identifying as D. Partment. There is no record of anyone under that name existing.</p>
<p>The vectors that cause SCP-8592 to manifest are not fully understood, but as of writing, the only definite factor that causes manifestation is when any level of personnel begins a new research project. SCP-8592's behavior after its manifestation follows a consistent pattern:</p>
<ul>
<li>After beginning their research, personnel will receive an email from <span class="wiki-email">ten.pics|tnemtrap.d#ten.pics|tnemtrap.d</span>. This email will be a ramble with little to no grammar past proper capitalization of 'The Department Department' and its email signature. The messenger will congratulate the personnel on its research endeavor and assign it to a new, also nonexistent department as its head researcher.
<ul>
<li>The department SCP-8592 assigns its targets to is nonsensical, often taking an insignificant element of the researched anomaly, naming a department after it, and acting as if this is a major undertaking or promotion.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The personnel's SCiPnet profile and official documents will be altered to add the SCP-8592-created department into their 'Responsibilities' section.</li>
</ul>
<p>With the number of projects the Foundation undertakes monthly, SCP-8592 manifestation is relatively rare, with it only contacting someone in approximately 1 in every 1000 new official research endeavors. Below is an example email:</p>
<div class="addendum">
<p>Hello brother,</p>
<p>Hello welcome to The Department Department. I am very happy to meet you. Am seeing here that you are investigating "John," a incoherent man who makes milk in his mouth instead of spit. It is very hard work and you deserve a "good job" speech from everyone around you.</p>
<p>We are very pleased to announce that you have been assign to a new department for your good work ethics and research efforts. We saw on the John's intake file that he is ""bisexual"" and has a boyfriend. This is very cool and woke and I promise that I am awake right now so you or john are not uncomfortable ok? you now are the head of the Department of Bisexual Anomalies for research purposes. This is to make it easier on your life my brother. With great power comes great responsibility.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 8592.2:</strong> Contact</p>
<p>Due to the Foundation's robust cybersecurity environment, an automatic ticketing queue filtered and deleted emails from SCP-8592. For this reason, contact with SCP-8592 was never attempted. As research progressed on this anomaly, it was decided that communicating with SCP-8592 could potentially develop more robust containment procedures.</p>
<p>The most recent contact of SCP-8592, Vincent Kinney, a junior researcher at Site-19, was permitted to reply to SCP-8592. Below is their email exchange</p>
<div class="addendum">
<p>Hello brother "Vinny Kinney",</p>
<p>Welcome to the Department Department. We are delighted to join you here today. I have attach my I'd for proof and help with any anxiety or fear is right there please look at your convenient —-></p>
<p>We are see here that you are researching for a hamburger stand that teleports from time to time. Yum! This is a very important job for an important man. Since hamburgers have no cheese and cows are evil, you have kindly been appointed Head of the Department of Lactose Intolerance. Congratulation! It is a great honor. You are welcome.</p>
<p><strong><em>D. Partment</em></strong><br/>
<em>Chair, The Department Department</em></p>
</div>
<div class="reply">
<p>Hi Mr. Partment,</p>
<p>I'm somewhat confused by this email. Can you please explain what is going on in more depth?</p>
<p>Thank you,<br/>
Vincent</p>
</div>
<div class="addendum">
<p>Attention: Vinny Kinney</p>
<p>Oh boy can I go in depth. I'll put it this way so please kindly listen and do not interrupt. You are researching a hamburger stand and Hamburger stands sell hamburgers. I hope we can agree on that my brother. The hamburgers are made of beef but do not contain cheese as it would be a cheeseburger. They put cheese in the name to clean up that whole kerfuffle.</p>
<p>I have a hypothetical. Suppose a handsome man named John walks into this hamburger stand and says, "Hello, please get me a hamburger." Now if Tom gets a cheeseburger instead he will be upset because he didn't get the hamburger he spent his hard earned United State dollars for. Also cheese is lactose they say so in the science. Following? Back on Tom. If he gets his cheeseburger instead of a hamburger I don't think Tom or anyone with a working brain for that matter will tolerate it. As the head of the Department of Lactose Intolerance you can't stand it. Kindly take this matter seriously and please take up your post in your assigned department.</p>
<p><strong><em>D. Partment</em></strong><br/>
<em>Chair, The Department Department</em></p>
</div>
<div class="reply">
<p>Mr. Partment,</p>
<p>If we're getting this specific, wouldn't it make more sense to assign me to The Department of Teleporting Hamburger Stands? "The Department of Lactose Intolerance" seems insignificant compared to the anomaly at hand.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br/>
Vincent</p>
</div>
<div class="addendum">
<p>Vincent,</p>
<p>You have been kindly and generously offer an amazing position of chair of a department and you have spat upon my face and are bringing me to tear in my eyes with this "department of teleporting hamburger stands" nonsense. Please do not bring this up again. I would like to know what sick individual guy came up with this and poison your mind with this nonsense department.</p>
<p>Please sincerely leave this department naming and assigning to the Department of Naming and Assigning which is led by me and is run under The Department Department which is also led by me.</p>

<div class="reply">
<p>Mr. Partment,</p>
<p>Speaking of, I've been interested in joining The Department Department as a junior researcher. Can you give me some of the qualities you look for in a prospective employee?</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br/>
Vincent</p>
</div>
<div class="addendum">
<p>Hello Vincent,</p>
<p>I am very sorry but you already seem to be very busy with The Department of Lactose Intolerance. It would making me just awful to put more work on your schedule as this can lead to burning out and a visit to the psych ward.</p>
<p>If you must be knowing the Department Department is very sacred and we only accept people who have trust and are:</p>
<ul>
<li>nice</li>
<li>swell</li>
<li>cool dudes in general and often</li>
<li>like departments</li>
<li>are okay with my dog she is named debarkment</li>
<li>have at least twenty years of department experience</li>

<p>Mr. Partment,</p>
<p>I feel that I fit these qualities. I have 25 years of experience heading multiple departments,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> I like dogs, and people always get along with me.

<p>Hello Vincent,</p>
<p>Am looking at your file currently as I write this.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> I hate nonsense and immaturity and it is clear that you are a no good dirty liar and illiterate. There is no where on your written file that says that you were head of any department before I kindly and generously assigned you to the Department of Lactose Intolerance. Please do not lie to me again or stop texting me ok?</p>
<p>I am writing this while I am reading your file I am very good at multi tasking and it makes me happy to see that you are doing good work at the SCP foundation with your researching anomaly and those that are like that. Your most recent assignment looks very interesting and I don't believe I have read what it is your studying in this research assignment so I will do that now.</p>
<p>oh no.</p>
<p>good bye.</p>

<p>It's assumed that SCP-8592 saw Researcher Kinney's assigned research project on it and ceased all communication with him as a result. Multiple attempts to resume communication with SCP-8592 were attempted, but all were fruitless. Following this, SCP-8592 entered a standard dormancy period.</p>
<p>Three weeks later, Kinney received another email from SCP-8592, which is below.</p>
<div class="addendum">
<p>Hello there Vincent</p>
<p>It is very nice to meet you ! We see here that you are doing very interesting research and welcome to the Department Department. You are a very strong man who deserves to be recognized for his hard work and fortitude my brother. We are happy to report that The Department Department has assigned you to to the chairman of The Department of the Department Department.</p>
<p>This is your job now thank you and good bye. Please kindly do it well. Good luck!</p>

<p>Researcher Kinney's personnel file was updated to include "The Department of The Department Department" and "The Department Department" as responsibilities. Since then, e-mails sent by Researcher Kinney have seen a 23% uptick in spelling and grammar errors.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> All broadcasts of SCP-8593 are to be promptly removed from public view and recorded by Site-322 archivists. Foundation web crawlers are to scrape and eliminate any references to SCP-8593 from online sources. Containment specialists are actively searching for the origin of SCP-8593 broadcasts and the location of SCP-8593-1. Containment of SCP-8593-1 will proceed upon the completion of these investigations.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8593 is a series of television broadcasts for "Pasta with Fazool," a cooking show focused on Italian American cuisine.</p>
<p>SCP-8593-1 hosts SCP-8593 and is a victual<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> humanoid entity self-identifying as "Fazool Cavatelli." SCP-8593-1's body is composed entirely of dry pasta; its torso is constructed from a bundle of spaghetti, while two pieces of penne form its arms. SCP-8593-1 possesses human hands, which are incongruent with the rest of its composition and each other. Its head is a large meatball, capable of limited facial expressions and speech in English. SCP-8593-1's outfit changes between episodes, though these changes appear limited to commonly colored or patterned aprons and matching toques.</p>
<p>SCP-8593-1 appears on SCP-8593 as a poorly keyframe-animated puppet, a characteristic never acknowledged by it or any guests who treat it as a baseline human while also recognizing that it's composed entirely of food.</p>
<p>It moves with jerky, unnatural movements, with parts of its body often disconnecting from each other. SCP-8593-1's hands constantly change size, shape, and skin color to accommodate different gestures or movements. Despite this, SCP-8593-1 can interact with physical objects, including human guests and various cooking utensils. Lighting does not affect SCP-8593-1, giving it a flat, two-dimensional appearance at all times.</p>
<p>Despite SCP-8593-1 claiming SCP-8593 is focused on Italian American cuisine, all presented materials, including recipes, origins of said recipes, and Italian history differ significantly from any traditions known on Earth. No source for SCP-8593 broadcasts has been discovered.</p>

<p><strong>Notes:</strong> SCP-8593-1 gathered 12 men of various ages named Alfred or Alfredo, proceeding to dump the uncooked ingredients used in Fettuccine Alfredo on them.

<p><strong>Notes:</strong> This segment is almost entirely incomprehensible, starting with SCP-8593-1 pulling invisible objects out of a deep fryer. Attempts to explain the dish lead to SCP-8593-1 trailing off into various nonsequiturs and having to be reminded by the film crew as to what it's cooking. The camera lingering on the dish for more than a few seconds leads to exponentially visible distortions. SCP-8593-1 eventually calls the segment off as it grows more confused.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>TRANSCRIPT</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>«BEGIN LOG»</strong></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Someone sent me a letter telling me that my recipes made no sense and were, and I'm quoting here, "disgraceful."</p>
<p><em>(An unseen studio audience is heard booing.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Part of cooking is taking criticism and seeing where I can improve. I wasn't mean or harsh; I was receptive. I sent this person — I'm not going to say their name — a letter back asking them to send me their favorite Italian American recipe. So, the next dish I have to show you guys is Elaine DiRenzo from Syracuse's 'Spaghetti and Meatballs.' You guys tell me what you think.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> First, we take three different ground meats, pork, veal, and beef, and mix them—</p>
<p><em>(The audience makes sounds of shock.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Ladies and Gentlemen, please just stick with me. We take these, and we mix them together.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8593-1 places the meats in a bowl and kneads them together with its hands. Someone in the audience is heard retching.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Now, we're going to take this <em>food</em> and roll them into spheres. Clap if you like spheres.</p>
<p><em>(The audience is silent.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Interesting.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8593-1 rolls the meat into 24 meatballs. It proceeds to fry them in a cast iron pan.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> I have some marinara warming up in this pot. Folks, if you're squeamish, I'd recommend looking away.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8593-1 moves the cooked meatballs into the sauce pot. The audience makes sounds of shock. Two are heard retching loudly, and one is heard screaming incomprehensibly. SCP-8593-1 retrieves a plate of cooked spaghetti as the meatballs cook in the sauce.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Now, ladies and gentlemen, we will plate.</p>
<p><em>(With a ladle, SCP-8593-1 receives spoonfuls of marinara and three meatballs, placing this on top of the Spaghetti. The entire audience screams in apparent horror.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> I know. I know! But, we're people of science here and we take all criticism on this chin. Should I try it?</p>
<p><em>(The audience loudly responds in the negative.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> I don't particularly want to eat this either, but our unnamed person considers this her signature dish. I think it's only fair.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8593-1 cuts into the meatball with a fork, piercing it, then twirling the prongs around the spaghetti, picking up a few pieces. It then places the food in its mouth. Someone in the audience is heard crying.)</em></p>
<p><em>(SCP-8593-1 vomits off screen.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> What sick person would serve this and call it Italian American cuisine? Elaine DiRenzo from Syracuse, leave this stuff to the experts next time.</p>
<p><em>(The audience claps loudly.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> I'm going to clear this out, and when we return, I'll be making us some delicious Rizzotto. For all my married people in the audience, I hope you took those vows seriously!</p>

<p><strong>Notes:</strong> SCP-8593-1's hands are replaced by boxing gloves. The segment follows SCP-8593-1 "in the wild" fighting the sentient ingredients used in Spaghetti Bolognese. After nearly being beaten to death by the final ingredient (a large carrot), SCP-8593-1 returns back to the kitchen set. A stagehand appears on screen, whispering to SCP-8593-1. It responds, "Puglia is a place?" and "It sounds too close to pugilism. I think most people would make that mistake." SCP-8593-1 exits the frame in apparent anger.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> And I'd like to thank my dear friend, Mr. The Devil, for joining us today. What did you think of the dish, Lucifer?</p>

<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> We just got an email.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Go ahead.</p>
<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> It's from Janine in Utah. She says, 'I cannot believe what I’m seeing on the Food Network! My family and I tune in every afternoon after my kids get home from school, and I am appalled by the blatant use of demonic symbolism in your programming. This is absolutely disgusting and completely contrary to the values we uphold in our home. I refuse to support a network that promotes such inappropriate content. I will be taking my viewership elsewhere and expect a formal apology for this offensive display.'</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Triangulate the IP.</p>
<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> We can't just do that.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8593-1 walks off set.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Triangulate it!</p>

<p><em>(A cut. SCP-8593-1 is standing at the door of a suburban house. It knocks. A woman in her early 40s answers, Janine Johnson.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Hi, Janine!</p>
<p><strong>Johnson:</strong> What's—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Cook for me.</p>
<p><strong>Johnson:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> You have things to say about how I run my show and cook my meals. You should cook for me.</p>
<p><strong>Johnson:</strong> I'm not going—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Cook for me.</p>
<p><strong>Johnson:</strong> Are you going to let me finish a sentence?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Yes. Just did.</p>
<p><strong>Johnson:</strong> Okay. I'm not—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Cook for me.</p>
<p><strong>Johnson:</strong> I'm calling the police.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> You're so much better than me, huh? Cook me something, Janine! Cook me something!</p>
<p><em>(A bleep censor is heard for 43 continuous seconds as the film crew moves away from the SCP-8593-1, who is still banging on the door and screaming. SCP-8593-1 kicks a garden gnome and approaches the film crew.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> And, uh… that's why we leave it to the professionals, ladies and gentlemen!</p>

<p><strong>Notes:</strong> SCP-8593-1 prepares a baseline Baked Ziti. It makes various references to "Frosty the Snowman-ing this thing." After removing it from the oven, the entity places a top hat on the dish, which somehow causes it to gain sentience. The dish states that its pronouns are they/them, proceeding to go on a rant about Donald Trump as SCP-8593-1 nods its head in agreement with its various statements.</p>

<p><strong>Notes:</strong> SCP-8593-1 prepares a standard dish of Chicken Marsala, with the only oddity being the size of the chicken breast being 2 meters in length. SCP-8593-1 proceeds out of its set and into a busy city square. It places the dish down in the middle of the pavement. The segment continues for two hours as various members of the public beat, shoot, and spit on the dish. SCP-8593-1 retrieves the dish, smells and tastes it, and then states, "Perfetto."</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> So, ladies and gentlemen, all the recipes I had planned for today forced me to be outside, and you all know that won't work out, right?</p>
<p><em>(Applause from the audience)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> I don't want us to get cabin fever, so my film crew has decided that we're going to do a live Q&A from the questions and comments left on our <em>Pasta With Fazool</em> Facebook page. Give me the first one.</p>
<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> From George in Iowa, 'Does this guy have any idea what Italian food actually is?'</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Big talk coming from the guy in the known and real Italian-American stronghold of Iowa. Bet he's only been to an Olive Garden in his life. Give me something better. Are there actual questions, or is it just more of this?</p>
<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> No. Not, uh, not really. We can do something el—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> No, I'm good. Next comment, please.</p>
<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> This is from Gary in New York, 'The woke mob has now infested our cooking shows! I can’t even watch a guy make lasagna without being hit with a lecture on its pronouns.'</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> It was Ziti.</p>
<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> There's more, 'Food should be about cooking, not politics. And don’t even get me started on that ANTIFA nonsense with that weird chicken dish. What a disgrace!'</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Long walk; short pier, Gary.</p>
<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> You can't say that.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Next comment.</p>
<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> From Lorenzo in New Jersey, 'I've grown up in an Italian household my entire life. I raised my kids to be proud of their Italian heritage. How the Food Network is okay with peddling this inauthentic trash as Italian American cuisine is insulting to my people.'</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Yeah, yeah. They paid me hundreds of thousands of dollars because I have no idea what I'm talking about. That makes sense for a billion-dollar television network to do. Thanks, Lorenzo. I hope your kids didn't get your brain.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> Nope. Keep <em>going.</em></p>
<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> From, uh, Nikki in Pennsylvania, 'Looks like they're giving anybody a show on the Food Channel now. My nonna would wipe the floor with this Fazool guy. He has no idea what he's doing! I've never seen this level of incompetence from any host, cooking or otherwise.'</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8593-1 grabs a metal bowl and slams it into its head multiple times in quick succession, throwing it into the audience and hitting a woman. The audience gasps.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> This is complete <em>fucking</em> horseshit.

<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> We're live, Fazool.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8593-1:</strong> It's censored, dipshit. Neil takes care of that.</p>
<p><strong>Stagehand:</strong> Neil got eaten by one of those fish on his way in. I told you this!</p>

Several hours appear to have passed, with the sunrise visible in the living room's curtains. SCP-8593-1 cooks a plate of buttered penne, chasing every few bites with a shot of Everclear. It is rendered unconscious before finishing the dish.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8594 is uncontainable. Individuals affected by SCP-8594 are difficult to locate; if an affected subject is located, standard amnesticization procedures are to follow on them and any living relatives.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8594 is a parasitic anomaly manifesting as the persistent belief that a subject's loved ones will imminently perish. Subjects affected by SCP-8594 are designated as SCP-8594-1. The vectors facilitating the manifestation of SCP-8594 are unknown, as the general fear of losing a loved one does not serve as a trigger for SCP-8594. Despite this, the common characteristics of SCP-8594-1 instances have:</p>
<ul>
<li>Experienced the death of a loved one<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> under the age of 15;</li>
<li>Are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder;
<ul>
<li>Major depressive disorder is also common;</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Have a familial history of a genetically transmitted illness;
<ul>
<li>Subjects are often afflicted by this illness;</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Subjects live >200 kilometers from SCP-8594-2.</li>
</ul>
<p>SCP-8594-2 are persons afflicted by SCP-8594-induced illness. SCP-8594-2 instances can be any age, and symptoms appear within one to two months of a subject being infected. A cure for the SCP-8594-induced illness has yet to be discovered. Below are the stages of SCP-8594-afflicted illness on SCP-8594-2.</p>
<table class="wiki-content-table">
<tr>
<th>Stage</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stage I</td>
<td>SCP-8594-2 will be fatigued, often leading to them sleeping for ten or more hours. SCP-8594-1 will remain indoors in waking hours, citing joint and limb pain after extended bouts of moving.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stage II</td>
<td>SCP-8594-2 will be unable to keep large meals down, often claiming pain in the abdominal region caused by constipation.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stage III</td>
<td>Urged by the SCP-8594-1 subject, SCP-8594-2 will go to a medical facility for a litany of tests. These tests find nothing abnormal with them. In 0.056% of cases, SCP-8594-1 will not pressure SCP-8594-2 to seek medical care. In these cases, SCP-8594-2 returns to full health within two weeks, and SCP-8594 stops affecting SCP-8594-1.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stage IV</td>
<td>SCP-8594-2 will be bedridden and unable to move without pain. Small amounts of liquids will be the only sustenance SCP-8594-2 can keep down without expulsion.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stage V</td>
<td>SCP-8594-2 will become bloated due to fluid buildup; extremities and limbs will be hard to the touch. The skin and sclera will take on a yellow coloration as major organs begin to fail. SCP-8594-2 will often be placed in a medical facility during this stage. The success of medical intervention varies, often based on the presence of SCP-8594-1. Absentee instances of SCP-8594-1 have caused the onset of the final two stages to be significantly prolonged.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stage VI</td>
<td>Subject will go into a temporary coma, lasting no longer than seven days. Minor communication will be possible, with SCP-8594-2 smiling, nodding, or frowning in response to verbal information. Sustenance will need to be delivered intravenously. Blindness in one or both eyes is common, as is the formation of necrosis on the legs. Medical professionals will still have no concrete diagnosis of SCP-8594-2's affliction.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stage VII</td>
<td>SCP-8594-2 will be unable to communicate. They will often remain asleep, past small moments of lucidity where they will weakly vocalize pain. Necrosis will continue up the legs towards the lower torso. Full blindness will occur, along with hearing loss and further immobility. All organs will fail, save for the brain, which remains unaffected throughout the illness. Pustules of fluid in the limbs and extremities will expand and burst over time. Analgesics<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> will fail to function.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stage VIII</td>
<td>SCP-8594-2's heart will stop beating. Despite this, brain scans will show activity as if its unhindered. SCP-8594-2 will remain alive.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>SCP-8594-2 will not pass until SCP-8594-1 says their goodbyes.</p>

<p>SCP-8595 consuming an apple.</p>
</div>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8595 is contained in a standard insect enclosure in Site-322's wildlife department. As SCP-8595 does not biologically differ from non-anomalous members of its species, standard temperature regulation and habitat construction have been implemented.</p>
<p>SCP-8595 follows a strict diet and will refuse certain foods, see addendum for further information.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8595 is an American cockroach (<em>Periplaneta americana</em>) which believes itself to be a restaurant critic.</p>
<p>SCP-8595 is sapient and sentient but is not capable of speech. When presented with any consumable item and any method of writing, SCP-8595 will eat the item and write a review of it, the interior of the location where the item was eaten, the service, and the concept of the "restaurant," combining these elements into a rating out of five stars.</p>
<p>It is assumed SCP-8595 either believes itself to be human or that cockroaches should be allowed to eat at restaurants, as seen by multiple complaints on its Yelp about it being run out of restaurants, long waits for seating, being ignored, having items thrown at it, or being sprayed with chemicals. The former is the likely scenario, as references to SCP-8595's insectoid form and the issues of being an insect and attempting to eat a human-sized meal are outright ignored or glossed over in its reviews.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8595.1:</strong> Feeding Attempts</p>
<p>It was quickly discovered that SCP-8595 would not consume the feed it was given in its enclosure, dubbing it "gutter swill" in a review. While non-anomalous cockroaches can live approximately 30 days without food, it was unknown if this still applied to SCP-8595, given its anomalous state. The loss of SCP-8595 in this way would be considered a breach of Foundation protocol.</p>
<p>As a result, Site-322 organized the creation of Café 322, a restaurant made solely to convince SCP-8595 to eat.</p>
<div class="addendum">
<p><strong>Item:(s)</strong> A fresh Granny Smith Apple</p>
<p><strong>Result:</strong> After being presented with the apple, SCP-8595 crawled along its surface for 15 seconds before beginning to eat. It then wrote the following review on a nearby laptop.</p>
<div class="reviewtop">
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="title"><strong>Café 322; A Mess</strong></span></p>
</div>
<div class="review">
<p>Would you be impressed by a soccer player bragging about their kicking ability? No, I wouldn't think so. Being able to kick a ball is below the bar I expect from a professional athlete. A restaurant announcing its use of fresh ingredients conjures similar feelings in me. At Café 322, that thought of "okay, what else?" remains lingering throughout the dining experience.</p>
<p>Café 322's idea of fine dining follows along the lines of a less-is-more concept. Constraint is the boon of creativity, and I can appreciate when an artist can operate within cramped walls and create something beautiful despite it. Café 322's understanding of the less-is-more concept led them to drab, blank walls, a cold, artless metal table, uniforms that invoke the feeling of being at your 9-to-5, and blinding hospital lights.</p>
<p>I was lucky enough to be offered the chef's tasting menu. Imagine my rage and dismay when I was presented with a single green apple on a white plastic plate. Between the time it took for the server to walk this "course" from the kitchen to my table, the apple fell to its side and was disgustingly placed back upright by said server.</p>
<p>I'm left at a crossroads; I can continue with this review, relaying the taste of an apple all of you have eaten in one form or another during your lives, or I can do what Café 322 did and stop trying before I even get started. After this sentence, it should be clear which road I went down.</p>

<p>Despite being told Café 322 listened to its critique, SCP-8595 refused to consume any meal produced by the restaurant "out of principle" and reassumed its hunger strike. Foundation researchers transformed an unoccupied dorm in one of Site-322's sub-levels into a concept restaurant inspired by minimalism entitled 'MAL.'</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="title"><strong>MAL; ICIOUS</strong></span></p>
</div>
<div class="review">
<p>What I've always enjoyed about the artform — yes, artform — of culinary expression is how a head chef, owner, <em>et cetera</em> can imbue themselves into a product and give their patrons a sense of who they are. MAL does no such things, taking minimalism to its extreme to the point I'm unsure of what the artists behind this work are trying to make me feel. Black, windowless walls, cold, ice-white marble tables, uncomfortable metal seating, and deliberately boring plating left me feeling I entered more the uncanny valley than I did a high-end restaurant.</p>
<p>MAL offers a seasonal chef's menu, which I attempted to indulge in. The first course, a twist on nachos, as it was described to me, was tortilla triangles, fried and seasoned with a spice mix. The chips were cold, as if they never touched oil, but punched me with a lot of flavor. This was my favorite dish, specifically for the odd blue seasoning<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> a few chips had sprinkled on them. These were few and far between, but the flavor of this blue seasoning was absolutely delicious — I would eat a bowl of this alone.</p>
<p>The deconstructed bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich bored me. I'm at a loss because I'm sure everyone here has had a BLT in their lives, and it's arguably a perfect sandwich. MAL, in its desire to conquer God, reinvented this perfect sandwich and made it a hassle to eat properly. These two dishes display my most glaring qualm: I do not mind eating with my hands. However, there should be a reason. I could have very easily been presented with a BLT, but no, that wasn't <em>different</em> enough.</p>
<p>The "Dessert Eggs" were an interesting idea but were executed poorly. I've never been a fan of molecular gastronomy; I was once presented with small, caviar-sized orbs of a red liquid in a bowl and was told it was tomato soup. These dessert eggs were flavorless, tasting more of sweetness than anything else. When I asked my waiter what the flavors were (the eggs were in all different colors and had no discernable theme or pattern), she picked one up, smushed it between her fingers, smelled it, told me "buttered popcorn," and then ate it herself.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup></p>
<p>That level of care told me all I needed to know of MAL. Good ideas and some good flavors, but bad execution.</p>

</div>

<p>SCP-8595 again entered a hunger strike, refusing to try the "new chef's menu" at MAL, retry Café 322, or eat its Foundation-supplied sustenance. This continued for three days. After discussing with Overwatch Command, researchers were given <em>carte blanche</em> on SCP-8595's containment. Under a Foundation front company, Site-322 recruited a Michelin-starred chef to create and prep a three-course meal. A subbasement floor was torn down and reconstructed into "Red Bell" with oversight from three Foundation interior designers. The space was crafted to resemble a high-end American steak house, with custom-made wooden paneling on the walls, a full bar, hand-built tables, and imported cutlery. Researchers Julliane and Julian Hoover were trained to be servers and were given formal uniforms.</p>
<div class="addendum">
<p><strong>Item:(s)</strong> Beef tartare served with bell pepper slaw, jalapeno spears, raw egg yolk, capers, beef bone marrow, and crostini. A Wagyu tasting, consisting of three thin and seared pieces of Japanese A5 wagyu, Australian Wagyu, and Kobe beef with a wasabi crema. Prime rib topped with lobster meat accompanied by Yukon gold mash, beef and lobster au jus, and truffle mac and cheese.</p>
<p><strong>Result:</strong> SCP-8595 was given each course and a wine pairing. In between each course, SCP-8595 took notes on a provided laptop. While attempting to drink the wine paired with its first course, SCP-8595 fell into the cup and had to be fished out by wait staff.</p>

</div>
<div class="review">
<p>If you've been a reader of mine for any length of time, you'll know minimalism or the less-is-more concert has never been my favorite school of thought. I can most definitely commend when a chef works within self-imposed constraints to give their guests the best time, and I have enjoyed minimalist restaurants. Red Bell is a maximalist restaurant.</p>
<p>Everything in Red Bell — from the waitstaff to the tables, from the bar to the plates my meals were served on — kicked and screamed of the need to be taken seriously. It was almost <em>too</em> perfect that I began questioning if I was, in fact, in a real restaurant. Describe a high-end steak house to your friend who's never heard of restaurants before, and then have that friend tell an alien that same information. What the alien creates will not be too dissimilar to what Red Bell I was presented with.</p>
<p>The Beef tartare was chewy, and with every chew, I was reminded that I was eating a dead animal. The bell pepper slaw was a tasty addition, but I expected to see more bell pepper from a restaurant named Red Bell. This is the only time you'll see any bell pepper on any dish.</p>
<p>The Wagyu tasting was, of course, good. It's Wagyu; it's the best steak you can get in the world. The insultingly small rectangles of meat I was given were cooked to a nearly perfect medium rare. I will not give a steak restaurant their commendation for serving me the best meat in the world and respect myself as a critic afterward. I can buy Wagyu from a butcher and cook it just as well, and it would taste just as good. If this restaurant sold only their sauces, they'd receive five stars from me. The wasabi crema was a treat that cut through the fattiness of the wagyu, though slightly muted in flavor.</p>
<p>The monstrous prime rib meal displays every single issue I have with Red Bell and is the antithesis of fine dining condensed down into a singular course. This entire meal was as if they went to the streets of the Las Vegas strip and asked the drunken men and their plastic surgery-riddled wives what they just spent five thousand dollars on in some gaudy, overpriced embarrassment of a restaurant. Who, in their right mind, puts lobster meat on a prime rib? Who, in their right mind, serves rich, buttery mashed potatoes with rich, buttery <em>truffle</em> mac and cheese? Everything on that plate, by itself, was good — maybe even great (The au jus, of course, was the star). I can not, in good conscience and as someone who respects the culinary arts, recommend anyone partake in this sham of a restaurant.</p>

<p>SCP-8595 resumed its hunger strike, refusing to eat at any of the above restaurants despite protestations and attempts to reason with it from researchers. Another meeting with Overwatch Command was held, and new restaurant ideas were floated, but it was assumed that the Foundation's efforts would be in vain. After the data from all SCP-8595's reviews were compiled, a pattern was established, and a new and likely final restaurant was organized, "Carpaje."</p>

<p>SCP-8596-1's containment chamber.</p>
</div>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8596-1 is contained in a remote house in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Twice a year, a member of Site-322 personnel is to travel to this location and perform an interview with SCP-8596-1. This person is to have the following on their person at all times:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mnestic pills, taken once every hour when within the vicinity of SCP-8596-1;</li>
<li>Non-lethal weaponry;</li>
<li>Standard body camera;</li>
<li>SCP-8596 documentation.</li>
</ul>
<p>SCP-8596-1 is equipped with a locked mechanical collar that houses two small Scranton Reality Anchors. This collar is remotely monitored and controlled by Site-322's surveillance console. Should SCP-8596-1 remove this collar, personnel are to trigger the panic button on their body camera, attempt to peacefully exit the containment chamber, and travel back to base.</p>
<p>SCP-8596-1 is to be entertained in conversation as long as this collar remains on. As a former member of Foundation staff, a cordial level of familiarity is expected for its comfort in conversation.</p>
<p>All interviews should ultimately lead the assigned staff to question what SCP-8596 is. On rare occasions, SCP-8596-1 will initiate a conversation about SCP-8596. After this line of discussion ends, assigned staff are to excuse themselves politely and exit the containment chamber.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8596 is [REDACTED].</p>
<p>SCP-8596-1 is a humanoid entity identified as Dr. Erik Ramsey. SCP-8596-1 was initially contained in Site-322's anomalous containment before being employed as a Foundation interrogator as part of the Integration Program.</p>
<p>SCP-8596-1 is a Class III reality bender, enhanced empath, and telepath capable of altering localized reality at will. SCP-8596-1 can read minute expressions, physiological changes, and physical processes of any subject that interacts with it. Though limited, SCP-8596-1's telepathy allows it to view the memories of a subject in real-time, meticulously taking notes while doing so.</p>
<p>After an incident relating to its integration in Site-322, it was discovered that SCP-8596-1 could remove and implant the memories of its subjects at will, though it can not read memories directly. As a result of this and negotiations with Site-322 management, SCP-8596-1 was moved to its containment chamber in the Pine Barrens, a home built with its reality-warping capabilities.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 8596.1:</strong> SCP-8596-1 Interview</p>
<p>Researcher George Ambrose was designated as SCP-8596-1's interviewer for the second half of 2024. He was given the above SCP-8596 documentation and deployed to SCP-8596-1's containment chamber on October 13th, 2024.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I have a pot roast in the oven. It should be done in five.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose grabs a chair and sits close to the fireplace. He shivers as he removes his gloves before holding his hands towards the logs.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I've been having trouble getting that started — the fire.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose grabs a nearby bottle of lighter fluid and douses the logs. Shakily grasping a lighter he brought, he fails to create a spark. On the third flick, the lighter ignites, and Ambrose touches the flame to the logs and sits back into his seat.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I just need a minute, Erik.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> You're still allowed to call me that?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> It's encouraged. For rapport.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I see. Nevertheless—</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 stands and moves to the oven.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> —I believe the roast is done. Care to eat?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I'm not hungry.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> How long was the trip?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Twenty-six hours.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 takes the roast out, tasting it, and placing it on the counter.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> So you're hungry, then. And if you were told not to take anything from me, imagine what eating with me would do for our "rapport."</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose pops a mnestic pill in his mouth.)</em></p>
<hr/>
<p><em>(Ambrose and SCP-8596-1 sit across from each other, eating silently. Ambrose removes a sheet of paper and a pen from his pocket.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Can we start?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Talking? I'd love to. Just one moment.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 moves to a liquor cabinet. He pulls a bottle of bourbon out along with two glasses from the freezer. He pours himself and Ambrose a drink. Ambrose doesn't touch it.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Name.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> You know my name.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 holds his drink in the air, motioning for a cheers. Ambrose ignores the request. After a moment, SCP-8596-1 downs his drink and pours himself another.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> It's to make sure you still know your name.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Erik, E-R-I-K, Ramsey, R-A-M-S-E-Y.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose makes note.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Age.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Sixty-four.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose makes note.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Have you had any violent thoughts lately?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Why are you here?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> To do this interview.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> You know, Director Lague came here not too long ago. Apparently, he almost destroyed 322 with some machine he commissioned. Before him was Doctor Mooney, accused of embezzlement with that gumball machine they insist helps the Site. And before that was Julian after some creature got loose in his section. You weren't sent here on your merits; even with this collar on, I can tell that.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I drew the short straw.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Am I that unappealing?</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose is silent.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> What did they tell you?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> That you lost it.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> That's a roundabout way of saying it, but sure.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> You want to have a conversation? Sure. Why don't you tell me what happened?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Have you had the pleasure of meeting the former Leandra Pollock?</p>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><strong>ACCUSED:</strong> Doctor LEANDRA POLLOCK</p>
<p><strong>SUMMARY:</strong> DR. POLLOCK is accused of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Facilitating the death of Researcher TED FRANKLIN after she suffered a nervous breakdown;</li>
<li>Attempting to dispose of the corpse of FRANKLIN, which was covered in anomalous research material, against the guidelines created by the Acroamatic Abatement Department;</li>
<li>Threatening security personnel with an anomalous artifact so they would remove the incident's video footage;</li>
<li>Forcing said security personnel to consume a toxic cocktail of unprocessed amnestics, leading to permanent memory complications for those affected;</li>
<li>Desertion.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> My abilities, as cliché as it may sound, are a blessing and a curse. I could look around a bar and figure out which woman I had a chance of bringing home just by the twitch of some muscle on her face or the way her eyes dilated in the light. I wasn't employed—</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Integrated.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> —<em>integrated</em> for no reason.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I never denied that.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> The curse of my whole ordeal is just that: I know people too well. I read that report the Ethics Committee gave me, and I knew it was over for her before then. Someone had it out for her. Just by reading that, I knew. Even with the collar, I still see it.</p>
</div>
<div class="interview">
<p><em>(The interrogation chamber has been altered by SCP-8596-1, appearing as Leandra Pollock's office.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> To be honest with you, I didn't quite like Ted.</p>
<p><em>(Pollock is silent.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> One thing I've always disliked about this Site — not that I know any of the others — is that it's a little lax here.</p>
<p><strong>Pollock:</strong> I guess.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I enjoy professionalism. Even though I'm being forced to do this with you, I take it seriously. It's a job.</p>
<p><strong>Pollock:</strong> I take my job seriously.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> That wasn't the implication I was aiming for. Site-322's problem is that it doesn't place stock in professionalism. Paul is more than willing to shove a real problem into Doctor Coix's desk while he goes off to contain "funny" anomalies like children do with Pokémon.</p>
<p><strong>Pollock:</strong> Hmph.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> "Hmph," what?</p>
<p><strong>Pollock:</strong> Just a hmph.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 squints at Pollock.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Remind you of someone?</p>
<p><strong>Pollock:</strong> Ted was a character.</p>
<hr/>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>[2 HOURS REDACTED FOR BREVITY]</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Pollock:</strong> It was focused on submolecular studies. I was tasked with creating a way to destroy something efficiently from the atomic level. Something 43 wanted to ease their disposal of anomalous material.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Was it ever finished?</p>
<p><strong>Pollock:</strong> I placed it on the back burner.</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I understand the pressure you're under.</p>
<p><strong>Pollock:</strong> Meaning what?</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 snaps his fingers and the room's security cameras disappear. Only audio is available.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Would you say that this has alleviated the pressure?</p>
<p><strong>Pollock:</strong> <em>[…]</em> I would.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I need you to work with me, and I can alleviate even more pressure.</p>
<p><strong>Pollock:</strong> The microphone you have on your chest isn't helping much there.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> For once, someone read my mind.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 powers his microphone off.)</em></p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>Afterword:</strong> Dr. Leandra Pollock has admitted to the incidents that led to her arrest.</p>
</div>
<div class="interviewmain">
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> What's wrong with that?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> She didn't do it.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> She didn't do it?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I — allegedly — placed the memory of the events in her head and, uh, she— she was decommissioned.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Jesus Christ. Why the hell would you do that?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I told you, they had it out for her.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> You were sent in as an interrogator! Your job was to get the truth.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> That was never my job. My job was to get the answers those at the top wanted. Someone committed this crime, someone covered it up extremely well, and someone needed to take the fall, else they — we — all look weak.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> That's not—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Have you ever been in one of those containment cells?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Why are you asking me?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Have you?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I haven't.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I bet no one employed by the Foundation has spent the same amount in a containment cell as some of the "anomalies" they have locked in there. Even with the treats they give us to keep us sane, it's draconian. For me, I was in an eight by eight box, with a cot I was too big for. What did I get to keep me sane? A cracked television with three news channels, three crossword puzzle books, human interaction with guards for around three minutes total per day, and a record player without any music; all of my requested records were on "back order."</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I didn't know any of this.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> That wasn't even the worst part! My reality anchor was wired into the <em>same switch that controls my room's light.</em> I begged and pleaded for those poisonous, blinding, buzzing lights to be turned off for just an hour, just one hour so I could sleep! They refused out of fear I would break out.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I'm sorry, but—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I wasn't going back in there. There's nothing that would make me go back in there.</p>
</div>
<div class="interview">
<p><em>(Armed security personnel surround SCP-8596-1, commanding him to lay on the ground with his limbs spread.)</em></p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 cocks his neck; the security personnel's weapons vanish. The sector is put on lockdown. He looks to a nearby security camera.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I'm going to let these men leave. After that, I would like to speak with Director Lague.</p>
</div>
<div class="interviewmain">
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> He's a softie for anomalies, luckily for me. We came to an understanding.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> And you landed here.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I did. I was allowed to create a "comfortable environment" for myself before this albatross was hung around my neck.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 taps its collar.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Now, I get shipments of some entertainment every month, restock food every week, and peace and quiet. The stress of being locked away forever is gone.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> You're still locked away.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> It's a matter of perspective. This is a house I built with my own mind, made for my comfort and mine alone. You, you'll have to go back in that car for a few hours, then in that plane for even longer, and then you'll arrive back to that Site, where you'll work for a minimum of ten hours before going into your dorm, in that same Site, before waking up the next day and doing it all over again.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> You can't tell I empathize with you?</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 taps its collar again.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I've never been happy about what we do with anomalies. It's one of those things you need to be aware of while also knowing that it's wrong.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> So work within the system without changing it.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I tried to explain it, not justify it.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> You know, for the year I was employed—</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Integrated.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> —<em>integrated</em> and the months before, when I was just in my cell, I never really met someone who was as outspoken as you were.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> The main goal of the Director of our Site is what you're hoping for.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> It's the same containment in a new form. If you wanted to, you could leave today and go home forever. If I tried that when I was integrated, I'd be locked back up. Paul doesn't care about me or any other anomaly; he cares about the optics. How he's able to make everyone see him as the moral Site Director. Only he is able to work with anomalies and, in turn, make them work for the Foundation. The attention you can get from that is astronomical.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I don't let my opinions affect the place that puts food on my table.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> It's good to have morals. You're a diamond in the rough, one could say.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I'm another cog in the machine.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I told you, opinions like that are a rarity.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> It means nothing.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> How so?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Empty words. I still work for them. Means nothing.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I don't think so. I think you know it means more than nothing. A lot more.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Does it?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Considering the entirety of this conversation, I think this means a lot to you.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose is silent. After a pause, he takes his drink and downs it. He gives himself a heavy pour of bourbon, downing it again.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I think this means way more than I can even tell, with or without this collar.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Seems interesting.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> It is. It was a lot of fun in the beginning. I didn't really know Kenny too well before this. I think we joined the Foundation the same year but that was about it. It happened that we both had nothing going on and an interest in alternate dimensions. We got on pretty well, all things considered.</p>

<div class="interview">
<p><em>(Researcher Wilkins is sitting, watching a report on the Wanderer's Library's Ways. Researcher Ambrose is seated across the room in their laboratory, scribbling equations on a page.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Has anyone seen a Way being opened?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> For the Wanderer's Library? Those are thousands of years old.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> We have a few millennia-old people roaming around here.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> There's no way we get to talk to them, ignoring the fact they're not even at the Site.</p>
<p><em>(Wilkins moves to Ambrose and gently places his hand on his back, rubbing Ambrose in a circular motion.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> What's wrong?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I'm fucking stressed! What are we three weeks—</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Nineteen days. <em>Technically.</em></p>
<p><em>(He smiles.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Great. Nineteen days of jack shit.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> We have a year. Maybe two if we get down on our knees and beg.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Yeah, I bet we get that.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Such a downer. I guess I'm the only one enjoying our long, exclusive, alone time together.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Did I imply that?</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Just reading between the lines.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> You're reading wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Look, we'll figure something out. Someway and somehow.</p>
<p><em>(Wilkins kisses Ambrose's cheek and returns to his seat.)</em></p>
</div>
<div class="interviewmain">
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Got on well, huh?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Yeah, yeah. We got on well.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I don't really get surprised, at least before this piece of jewelry was put on me, but I'm always, I guess you could say, intrigued by smart people doing smart things. You can show me a motherboard, explain how it works, explain what it does, and explain how each component helps with that, and I'd understand it fully, but if you asked me how someone came up with that, I'd be at a loss. So, how did you figure out transdimensional travel?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Funnily enough, the answer was in the Ways.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>MEETING OF THE OVERSEER COUNCIL</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p><em>(Wilkins and Ambrose are presenting their findings to the Overseer Council.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Now, this oil-slick-looking thing is a Way. As most of you probably know, Ways are doorways into the Wanderer's Library. While anomalous, Ways specifically fall under the umbrella of thaumaturgy, which had led our contemporaries to disregard them as impossible to replicate. Now, with our current findings, we've managed to synthesize the material used to create Ways.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose powers a fume hood. A beaker of metallic, rainbow-tinted liquid is spilt under the hood. As it sets, it gains its oil-slick appearance.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Before this presentation, I went ahead and placed an item in the dimension this Way leads to.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose reaches into the Way, pulling a green apple out of it.)</em></p>
</div>
<div class="interviewmain">
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> It was a convincing presentation, enough to get us some more in the budget department and a few junior researchers to work with us.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Couple time was ruined?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> At this point, I had actually moved out of my dorm and into his place. My sister said it was too fast, but sometimes you just know.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I see. What I don't understand is how you go from what I assume is an empty pocket dimension to transdimensional travel.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> As stupid as it might sound, it's all magic.</p>
</div>
<div class="interview">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>MEETING OF THE OVERSEER COUNCIL</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p><em>(Wilkins and Ambrose are presenting their findings to the Overseer Council.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> On a technical level, the Library's Ways are programmed to enter into the Library and out to the desired location based on a frequency. Every universe emits its own frequency, and each location within that universe has its own frequency all the way down; the trouble is just channeling it. This is something that's like breathing to the Librarians, but for us, it requires much more tuning and failing before we get something workable.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose retrieves a second beaker of the liquid, takes a brush, and paints a door-sized Way on the wall under the fume hood. He takes a blade from his pocket, whispering in an unknown language at it. It radiates a purple glow as Ambrose slices his hand, rubbing the blood on his palm and fingers. He holds his hand near the Way, struggling to keep it close. He gasps as seven glowing, purple strands of energy shoot from the cut and attach to the edges of the Way. He closes his eyes, and with his other hand, he gently pushes, pulls, and twists the strings.)</em></p>
<p><em>(Behind the Council, a crack in reality begins to form. Ambrose pulls the final strand and a second Way appears, shaking the room. Wilkins enters the original Way, exiting behind the Council.)</em></p>
<hr/>
<p><em>(The pair exit the meeting silently, pacing down the hall. Smiles grow on both of their faces They enter the elevator, where they're witnessed celebrating and hugging each other. Wilkins grabs the nape of Ambrose's neck and shouts happily into his face. The pair kiss.)</em></p>
</div>
<div class="interviewmain">
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> That is amazing.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> It was, but it still wasn't transdimensional travel. It was a portal on Earth.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose downs a third glass of bourbon. He pours himself another.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> We needed transdimensional travel. It is, at its core, reasonably easy: just grab a different main frequency and build from there.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> The trouble?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Infinite dimensions. Infinite frequencies. It would take me a lifetime to sift through everything available to find just one specific dimension, let alone what the Overseers were asking. This was going to be part of their early warning system. They needed nearly exact replicas of our universe. Exact replicas are easy to find; just tune the frequency up or down a micrometer in or out on that third strand. But near duplicates? They <em>exist</em>—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> But in an infinite pool.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> We found one, eventually. Just one.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I ask again, the trouble?</p>

<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Solid? That looks fucking perfect!</p>
<p><em>(Wilkins moves to hug Ambrose, who barely reciprocates.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> How you keep this energy is beyond me.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> What's wrong?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I'm exhausted.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Preaching to the choir.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I think we should call it here and head home. I'll make a request for a hazmat team to scope the area before anything.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Now? Now!? Are you crazy?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Maybe not fully but I'm for sure getting there.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> We have to go in.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Are <em>you</em> crazy?</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> A little! I mean, look, when Fleming found—</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Do not invoke Fleming at me. That's not fair.</p>
<p><em>(Wilkins smiles at Ambrose, who attempts to hide his smile behind a hand as he scribbles notes on a pad.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> <em>When Fleming found penicillin</em> imagine he waited for a hazmat team before investigating it himself.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Technically, he told other people about it before doing anything stupid, like you want to do with this portal.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> One time, we'll be done after that.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Look at me, I love you. You know that. But, this is work. This is my job, and I take it seriously.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> You don't think I take this seriously?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> That's not what I'm saying. This is our job. Our job has standards and procedures that we have to follow. Regardless of whatever is going on in our personal life, you can't use my love for you to do something that's wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> I'll go in. I'm not going to throw this out.</p>

</div>
<div class="interview">
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> It's not throwing anything out!</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> We're at the forefront of some of the best research that's ever been done on this topic, and you want the first person to enter a man-made transdimensional portal to be some former military no-name. Fuck that!</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> You're out of your fucking mind!</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> We deserve credit!</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> We'll <em>get</em> it.</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Name one NASA scientist who worked on the Apollo project.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> You know what, I'll just close it!</p>
<p><strong>Wilkins:</strong> Don't <em>even</em> dare.</p>
<p><em>(Wilkins paces to the Way, shoving his hand into it.)</em></p>

<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I'm not watching this. I'll see you at home. Get it the fuck together.</p>
</div>
<div class="interviewmain">
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> And I left. Those were the last words I know he heard from my mouth.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> He went all the way in?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> The dimension was an alternate Earth, nearly what we were looking for. The major divergence? The air had a parasitic, microscopic, airborne organism living in it. Billions, if not trillions of them. Humans, animals, everything evolved to live symbiotically with it. I walked into my lab that morning to the hazmat team I called the night before. They were carting his body out and fumigating the entire sector.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Jesus.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I told him. I did. I promise.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose downs another glass of bourbon. SCP-8596-1 grabs the bottle from him as he attempts to pour it.)</em></p>

<p><em>(Ambrose's eyes well with tears.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Lague:</strong> I'm not good at this; I'm really sorry. I can't imagine what you're going through right now. You have to view this objectively, though, he entered untested waters and picked up an entirely unknown sickness. The amount of protection the nurses have to wear is unbelievable.

<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I understand why they wouldn't let you, as cruel as it is. How awful.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> It wasn't safe. That's all they kept telling me. He was contagious and he was dying. I would get to see him then but they didn't know when that would be.</p>

<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I— I had turned off the rest of the cameras, but I left the keycard and I— I guess there was an alert that the cameras were turned off. The Site was put on lockdown. I wanted a video of our last time together. I just wanted to be able to see his face.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose's eyes well with tears.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> We were so busy with work; we— we never got a picture together. How didn't we get a picture together? How is that possible? Weeks went by without seeing him; I was forgetting his face — his gorgeous smile. I remembered the feelings I felt when I saw him, like the way he laughed when I'd get that twitch in my eye when I was stressed. I just couldn't remember his face. You lose it so fast after being apart for so long. I just wanted something to look at to remember him. Something that was us.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Then?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I went back to my lab and grabbed a body camera. I just wanted to get a video of us hugging. Immortalized in that way. I wouldn't have to see him again.</p>
</div>
<div class="interview">
<p><em>(Ambrose is breathing heavily, sounding like he's holding back tears. He pulls the final purple strand extending from his hand. He takes a long breath and enters the Way, exiting into a medical bay room.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Kenny?</p>
<p><em>(To the room's far left is a white bed. A sheet covers a mass laid on it. various medical devices, including IV therapy machines, ventilators, and heart rate monitors, beep and buzz loudly.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Kenny? Are you there?</p>
</div>
<div class="interviewmain">
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> It was empty. Nothing was in there to make me believe he was as contagious as I was told. Nothing. Nothing at all.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Keep going.</p>
</div>
<div class="interview">
<p><em>(Ambrose approaches the bed and removes the sheet.)</em></p>
<p><em>(The body is Kenneth Wilkins. He's extremely emaciated, with little to no fat or musculature to see on his body. The skin looks more like cracked, flaking porcelain than flesh, giving Wilkins a doll-like appearance. His eyes are open, unblinking, and tinged green and cloudy. A mass is seen writhing in his stomach.)</em></p>
<p><em>(Ambrose falls to the ground, wailing.)</em></p>
</div>
<div class="interviewmain">
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Was he alive?</p>
<p><em>(Tears stream down Ambrose's face)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I may have laid there for seconds or years crying. I— I couldn't tell. The only thing that broke me out was an alarm.</p>
</div>
<div class="interview">
<p><em>(A lockdown alarm sounds in the medical bay. A single security officer enters the room.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Security Officer:</strong> George! Exit the room with your hands raised!</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Why does he look like this?</p>
<p><strong>Security Officer:</strong> Get out of the room, George. Listen to me! I don't want to hurt you!</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Are you keeping him alive?</p>
<p><strong>Security Officer:</strong> You have ten seconds to remove yourself from the room!</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Are all of these machines keeping him alive like this?</p>
<p><strong>Security Officer:</strong> George, please, there's more of my team coming, and they're not going to be as nice. Get out of the room!</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> Answer my fucking question! Are all of these machines keeping him alive?</p>
<p><strong>Security Officer:</strong> It's not our choice.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> You're keeping him alive like this?</p>
<p><strong>Security Officer:</strong> Please, leave the room. We'll get you amnestics.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose shoots the guard in the chest, who falls limply to the floor.)</em></p>
<p><em>(He paces the room in hysterics, breaking quickly and crying. The body camera is removed and thrown to the ground. He vomits on the floor and then approaches Wilkins' body.)</em></p>
<p><em>(Inaudible dialogue is heard. The camera sees Ambrose leaning over Wilkins. He's audibly crying.)</em></p>
<p><em>(Another gunshot is heard. Ambrose grabs the body camera and shell casings, and exits the room.)</em></p>
</div>
<div class="interviewmain">
<p><em>(Ambrose is standing over the sink gagging. SCP-8596-1 places a hand on his shoulder. He's crying.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> What did I do? What did I do?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> You put him out of his misery?</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose is silently crying. He breathes deeply.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I had to. I had to.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Keep going.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I— I couldn't leave him like that. I couldn't.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 points at Ambrose's face, guiding him to eye contact.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Look at me. Focus. What next?</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I had to. I had to. I promise! I <em>promise</em> I had to. Please. I'm sorry. I <em>had</em> to do it.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose rubs his hands through his hair.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> I— I opened another Way. I opened the Way we had put the apple in during that— oh god!</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose breaks down.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Focus! Focus on my face.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> And— I— I grabbed the bed and put Kenny in there— with the guard and the camera — and I just fucking <em>left</em> them in there in that cold empty place.</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose breaks further, crying into the sink.)</em></p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 unclips his collar, removing it.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> What—?</p>
<p><em>(The walls of the house begin rippling like ocean waves.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Ambrose:</strong> What's going on?</p>
<p><em>(Ambrose sniffles and gags.)</em></p>
<p><em>(The facade of the house fades away. An interrogation chamber is revealed. SCP-8596-1 looks to a security camera and nods at it. Security teams invade the room and remove Ambrose. Lague enters as they leave.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Lague:</strong> Amazing. Absolutely amazing.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> Mhm. Thanks.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 hands the collar to Lague.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Lague:</strong> That was much faster than I thought it would be.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I watched maybe 2000 tapes on this guy. I'd hoped it be shorter.</p>
<p><strong>Lague:</strong> And the story about the researcher you falsely convicted. Chef's kiss. The Ethics Committee's gonna be very happy that we don't have to go on trial here.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> You hired me for a reason. Scrub that description of me in the prop doc. I don't want anyone reading that.</p>
<p><strong>Lague:</strong> Consider it done. A month of isolation, and he still wouldn't say a word. Great, great work, Erik.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8596-1:</strong> I'll take care of the rest of the paperwork.</p>
<p><em>(SCP-8596-1 moves to the exit.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Lague:</strong> Be my guest. Just update the 8596 file.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> N/A</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8596 was the body of Kenneth Wilkins. Wilkins was originally employed in the Department of Dimensional Studies, tasked with creating an affordable, replicable method of transdimensional travel.</p>
<p>After traveling into an alternate Earth (designated DS-10226701), Wilkins was infected with an airborne parasite that quickly ravaged his body. Site-322's medical personnel conferred with the Ethics Committee and Overseer Council, determining that the research potential of this pathogen outweighed allowing Wilkins to pass. As such, his body was kept alive artificially until research was complete, at which time it would be decommissioned.</p>
<p>SCP-8596 was neutralized by a rogue member of Site-322's personnel who suffered a mental breakdown following a personal issue related to the SCP-8596 case. SCP-8596 was shot in the forehead with a pistol along with the security officer who attempted to arrest him, Benjamin Seymor.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> The corpses, the murder weapon, and miscellaneous pieces of evidence were subsequently hidden in an alternate Earth (designated DS-00000011).</p>
<p>The rogue agent, George Ambrose, has been interrogated and confessed to the murder of Kenneth Wilkins and Benjamin Seymor. For these offenses, along with breaking and entering, credential theft, unauthorized use of Thaumaturgy, misuse of Foundation resources, and participation in an unapproved workplace relationship, George Ambrose has been imprisoned at Site-06 and is awaiting termination.</p>

<p>SCP-8597 starting slide.</p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Upon discovery of an active SCP-8597 instance, standard online content removal procedures are to be carried out by Foundation Web-Crawler-TT-01 “<em>Shou Chew’s Revenge</em>.” Standard amnesticization protocols are to follow should a member of the public encounter an instance of SCP-8597-1.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8597 is a slideshow uploaded to social media and content application <em>TikTok</em>.</p>
<p>SCP-8597 is thirteen images long. Upon viewing, a looping 30-second audio clip of Claude Debussy's <em>Clair De Lune</em> will play. The first slide is dedicated to a title card reading "<em>your month, your guy,</em>" followed by twelve images. Each depicts an instance of SCP-8597-1, as well as its name and individual characteristics.</p>
<p>SCP-8597-1 is a group of twelve anomalous entities correlated to a month of the year that spontaneously appear upon viewing SCP-8597. The viewer’s birth month is the determining factor in which of the twelve entities will manifest.</p>
<p>For an SCP-8597-1 instance to materialize, a user must have the slide corresponding to their birth month opened for over 60 seconds. The title card also specifies that users "believe hard;" though there is no evidence linking a user's belief and the likelihood of an SCP-8597-1 manifestation. A user's SCP-8597-1 instance will remain within their vicinity as long as SCP-8597 is actively open on a user's device.</p>
<p>Should a user scroll away from SCP-8597, close the application, or shut their device off, the SCP-8597-1 instance will violently explode. Among the blood and viscera, a piece of paper will be left in place of the entity, containing only a text-based "sad face" emoticon.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> Users can remanifest their corresponding SCP-8597-1 instance by following the manifestation parameters above.</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8597-1A is a golden snub-nosed monkey (<em>Rhinopithecus roxellana</em>) enveloped in pink, purple, and blue colored light, commonly referred to as “bisexual lighting” in popular colloquialisms. SCP-8597-1A's lighting effect also carries to its general surroundings within a one-meter vicinity.</p>
<p>SCP-8597-1A's intelligence is similar to the level of a human child between the ages of 6 and 11. While it can not speak, the entity can write in short, scribbled, albeit legible, sentences. It often does this to convince the user who manifested it to purchase financial investments, namely Gamestop and Tesla Motors stock, as well as several cryptocurrencies.</p>
<p>SCP-8597-1A has shown great discomfort with its “bicurious” moniker, asking to be referred to as “just frank pls”, and frantically apologizing to Foundation staff for “shoving it down ur throats”. This apparent stress has caused SCP-8597-1A to hyperventilate and pass out on multiple occasions.</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8597-1J is a humanoid entity resembling a Chinese peasant from the Han dynasty period. It has not been observed to move from its point of manifestation, instead electing to remain idle until engaged by an individual. If engaged, SCP-8597-1J will ask that the individual assist them in completing a task. SCP-8597-1J converses in Chinese.</p>
<p>The nature of these requests vary incidentally, but typically require the individual to retrieve one or more items to then bring back to SCP-8597-1J. Upon completion, SCP-8597-1J will reward the individual.</p>
<p>A table of example tasks has been recorded below.</p>
<table class="wiki-content-table">
<tr>
<th>Request</th>
<th>Reward</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SCP-8597-1J requested that the subject collect 22 sticks.</td>
<td>Upon retrieving the objects from the exterior of the site, SCP-8597-1J presented the subject with a bundle of wool.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SCP-8597-1J requested that the subject corral 4 wild boar, each having suddenly manifested upon the Site-322 premises.</td>
<td>Task accomplished with minimal collateral damage. SCP-8597-1J presented the subject with a chrysanthemum flower.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SCP-8597-1J requested that the subject slay “Fucanglong, Underworld Divine General”.</td>
<td>A massive entity resembling a black-scaled dragon as stylized in Chinese mythology manifested inside a subterranean chamber underneath Site-322. The Site was thrown into immediate lockdown while an appropriate Mobile Task Force was secured for deployment. Upon the target’s neutralization, SCP-8597-1J presented the subject with a small wooden cartridge containing a silver powder, which, according to the entity, “can be used alongside a crafting kit to create arrowheads”. The Foundation has yet to ascertain a use for this item. Completion of this task yielded 15 casualties.</td>

SCP-8597-1K’s manifestation is delayed, instead appearing at an indeterminate point within 24 hours of viewing the slide under appropriate conditions. Manifestation occurs within a 1 km radius of the subject’s current position, typically on a nearby road. SCP-8597-1K will then rapidly accelerate towards the subject with enhanced force, demolishing any objects, structures, or individuals in the way of its path. Upon making physical contact with the subject, SCP-8597-1K will then de-manifest. Any destruction or damage caused by the entity— including casualties— will be reversed and nullified upon its disappearance.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 8597.2:</strong> Incident 8597-Alpha</p>
<p>On November 24th, 2022, Junior Researcher Francesco White (born February 29th, 1992), performed a standard test with SCP-8597. Despite pulling the slide corresponding to his birth month, no SCP-8597 entity manifested. Instead, White's phone crashed due to overheating.</p>
<p>Over the course of an hour, White's stomach became incredibly distended and bloated. He was sent to the Site infirmary, where nurses noted White's body temperature was 10 degrees below baseline. Attempts were made to sedate White, all of which failed, and his assertions of intense pain became continuous screaming as the mass grew larger. The mass squirmed violently within White before throwing him off the bed into a kneeling position. The mass could be seen moving up White's digestive tract, causing extreme distension to his chest and neck that should have sent White into unconsciousness or proven fatal. White expelled a black, viscous fluid from his mouth, followed by two hand-like implements attached to a 25-pound, amorphous blob of flesh, hair tissue, teeth, and eyeballs.</p>
<p>White subsequently passed out but made a full recovery. When his phone was powered back on, he accessed SCP-8597 again, which displayed a single slide.</p>
<p>Repeated testing on subjects born on the Leap Day (February 29th) has resulted in the same or similar outcomes.</p>

<p>SCP-8598.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8598 is professional wrestler and reality bender Gary Moreno.</p>
<p>SCP-8598 performed between 1966 and 1974, beginning in Japan and ending in the burgeoning World Wide Wrestling Federation. He gained fame as "Jerry 'Sharpshooter' Roulette," a heel<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> outlaw bounty hunter chasing 'bounties' and the world championship.</p>
<p>After a car accident in 1973, SCP-8598's anomalous properties began manifesting; this coincided with the development of major depressive disorder, theorized schizophrenia, alcoholism, and drug addiction. SCP-8598 began living solely as Jerry "Sharpshooter" Roulette, which included wearing his wrestling gear any time he was in public, ignoring or lashing out at mentions of his legal name, hunting fugitives as a vigilante, and having professional wrestling matches with members of the public.</p>
<p>Persons close to the subject describe this switch as SCP-8598 engrossing himself in Kayfabe.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> In short, SCP-8598's frame of reality was through the character of Jerry "Sharpshooter" Roulette, and all events within his life would be altered by his reality warping capabilities to ensure that experience.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8598.1:</strong> Early Career and Time in the World Wide Wrestling Federation</p>
<p>SCP-8598 was born in 1942 in El Paso, Texas. At 18, SCP-8598 joined the Dallas Cowboys practice squad but was released less than a year later after a career-ending knee injury. SCP-8598's trainer recommended that he pursue professional wrestling, and he enrolled at the same wrestling academy as his childhood friend Larry Hennig.</p>
<p>SCP-8598 wrestled in Japan for the International Wrestling Enterprise promotion under the pseudonym "Jack 'The Gunslinger' Roulette." In Kayfabe, SCP-8598 was promoted as a heel, donning the character of an outlaw bounty hunter chasing the promotion's top championship. Initially, SCP-8598 was placed in a tag team with Larry Henig, and the pair would win the IWE Tag Team Champtionship. The team would split in 1969 when SCP-8598 attacked Hennig in the ring as part of a story line. Later that year, SCP-8598 would defeat then-Champion Antonio Inoki and win the title.</p>
<div class="interview">
<p><em>The following is a segment from the testimony of Jim Cornette, a former scriptwriter for the World Wrestling Federation and professional wrestling historian.</em></p>
<div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:30%;"><img alt="cornette.png" class="image" src="https://scptestwiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/jawn/cornette.png" style="width:100%;"/>
<div class="scp-image-caption" style="width:100%;">
<p>Jim Cornette.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Cornette:</strong> Well, he was before my time, I’ll tell you that. Everything I knew about the guy came from Gong Magazine, with the big, glossy photos done up by Koichi Yoshizawa. And at the time, that was one of the only outlets for American fans to catch what was going on in Japan. But yes, I was aware of the Gunslinger. And he had it all! The star-power, the aura, whatever you want to call it. You’d see a black-and-white, two-fold spread of the guy doing a side headlock and he could’ve jumped out of the page and fucking goozled you just for staring too long!</p>
<p>So he looks like a million bucks, he’s able to work a goddamn match, and he’s getting coverage all the way across the world. He should be a superstar! You’re probably thinking, what the fuck’s the issue?</p>
<p>Problem was, these Japanese fans, they kept fucking cheering for the guy. And back in the day, that was unheard of for a heel. You’d bring a gaijin in to be booed— the foreign heel, it’s easy heat! So what do you do when your bad guy’s getting cheers like a good guy? You fucking turn him face. Except, Yoshihara — the booker — he didn’t want that. So they sent him back to the States, got him strapped in with the WWWF, and told Vince Sr. that he was his problem now.</p>
</div>
<p>After losing the title back to Inoki in 1970, SCP-8598 signed with the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF).<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> The WWWF renamed SCP-8598 to Sharpshooter Jerry Roulette and his character remained largely unchanged. While the IWE booked SCP-8598 as the top heel, the WWWF used SCP-8598 as a stepping stone for babyface wrestlers to overcome before fighting for the championship, leaving him lingering in the midcard<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> and not reaching the height he did in the IWE.</p>
<div class="interview">
<p><strong>Cornette:</strong> Things petered out. He got pushes, but they were on and off. And the WWWF was running monthly shows— you don’t get booked every month, there was no guarantee the crowd would remember you the next go around. Being a foreigner in front of a Japanese crowd made you an attraction. Over here, when you’re next to guys like Bruno Sammartino and Chief Jay Strongbow, you need to grab one big-ass stepstool to stand out.</p>
<p>And that fucked with him. Not getting the same type of reactions he did in Japan, not moving up the card. WWWF was a babyface promotion— top heels were locked in programs with top faces for months on end. Not a lot of mobility. So there was a lot of downtime for a guy to get shitfaced in every bar in the northeastern corridor.</p>
</div>
<p>SCP-8598's girlfriend, Catherine Hobbs, gave birth to twins in December of 1970. The pair would later marry and have a third child by the end of 1971. SCP-8598 floated around the midcard of the WWWF in 1972, and had an upcoming contract negotiation that September.</p>
<div class="interview">
<p><strong>Cornette:</strong> You have these kids coming in, great shape, good looks, making more money than they thought they ever would, and they're going out and meeting these girls <em>et cetera, et cetera</em>. A baby pops out nine months later, and now, they say, "fucking shit!" because now this profession where you were fucking around with your buddies and traveling the country has to feed a family.</p>
<div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:30%;"><img alt="cornettecage.png" class="image" src="https://scptestwiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/jawn/cornettecage.png" style="width:100%;"/>
<div class="scp-image-caption" style="width:100%;">
<p>Jim Cornette, suspended in a shark cage as part of an on-screen wrestling angle.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>He has this contract negotiation coming up. He wants to stay close to his wife and kids, so he's not shopping around at these other territories, and again, he's not a draw. It just so happened, at the time, that one of Shooter's good friends, Ivan Koloff, was champion. So you have Koloff, this three-hundred-some-odd pound Canadian with a sickle and hammer tattooed on his arm pretending to be a Russian, and he's the top heel for about a year at this point.</p>
<p>Bruno Sammartino is booked for the opportunity to fight Koloff for the title, but Bruno ends up snapping his fucking femur in half. So now, Vince Sr. is scrambling for a new all-American, apple pie-eating babyface that will defeat the Reds and bring the title back to the US of A. What do you do now? Vince looks around, thinking, and remembers he has a 300-pound cowboy with whom he's done squat. He finally got his push.</p>
</div>
<p>Following Bruno Sammartino's injury in August of 1972, SCP-8598 successfully beat Pedro Morales in a contendership match, which landed him a chance for the championship. The next week, SCP-8598's contract negotiation occurred, and he was resigned for $250,000 per year and booked to win the title from Koloff at the next event in November.</p>
<div class="interview">
<p><strong>Cornette:</strong> He gets two-hundred fifty grand in <em>1972</em>, he's booked to be a top champion in a few months, and he's signed for another four years. Knowing he has four mouths to feed, the first purchase he makes is an eighty-thousand-dollar racehorse. I can't fathom it! <em>He'd use it in place of a car.</em> He, <em>(Chuckles)</em>, he would ride it backstage and Vince Sr. slipped in a puddle of its piss. He wasn't allowed to bring it around the arenas anymore after that. He starts riding it around on the street late at night, saying it helps get him into character.</p>
<p>These were the things you dealt with with character performers. The real dedicated ones want to make themselves their characters as much as possible. It helps sell the business. If I went up to Shooter on the street and he turned to me and said, 'How ya doing, buddy, the name's Gary,' I'd probably never watch again.</p>
<p>Things like this were not exactly promoted, but they were accepted. And then, you know, he— he took it too far.</p>
</div>
<div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:30%;"><img alt="wrassler3.png" class="image" src="https://scptestwiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/jawn/wrassler3.png" style="width:80%;"/>
<div class="scp-image-caption" style="width:80%;">
<p>SCP-8598.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>SCP-8598 purchased a racehorse named Alto Soprano after signing his renewed contract. One week before his scheduled championship match, SCP-8598 rode his horse down a residential street. At an intersection, SCP-8598 was struck by a vehicle, killing the horse and grievously injuring him. He was subsequently moved out of the title match and replaced by Morales.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8598.2:</strong> Injury and Anomalous Phenomenon</p>
<p>SCP-8598's left femur was shattered to the point doctors initially thought the leg would have to be amputated. He also suffered a broken collarbone, a skull fracture, a major concussion, and fluid build-up in the brain. Luckily, the leg did not have to be amputated and steel plates were bolted into it instead. Doctors told SCP-8598 that he would likely not be able to wrestle again, or even run, and gave him a timeframe of eighteen months before he could walk again.</p>
<p>The painkiller medication SCP-8598 received as part of his treatment quickly became an addiction and compounded with his preexisting alcoholic tendencies.</p>
<div class="interview">
<p><em>The following is a segment from the testimony of Catherine Moreno, the wife of SCP-8598.</em></p>
<p><strong>Moreno:</strong> It broke him. It really, really broke him. He used to just sit in his wheelchair and stare out the window of our bedroom, mumbling to himself.</p>
<p>The WWWF took care of all of the medical bills; he probably would've never walked again if they didn't pay for the physical therapy. He made really good progress, but — he reached such a height early in his career, and he spent the rest of his time chasing after it. The fact he got so close to winning the championship at the biggest territory — finally getting that push to the top — and losing it because of some dumb decision destroyed him.</p>
<p>He barely said a word to me in that first six months. He would shake his empty bottle of whiskey in my direction when he wanted a new one, and that was the most of our communication. I wasn't in a position to really stop that. He was hurting, and if liquor made it feel the slightest bit better I wasn't going to take that away.</p>
<p><em>(Pause.)</em></p>
<p>I wish I did.</p>
<p><strong>Lague:</strong> Did he start improving at any point?</p>
<p><strong>Moreno:</strong> In a vacuum, he did. He started walking with crutches about six months after his injury. He only mumbled to himself still. I kept the kids away as much as I could, and we had the guaranteed money he signed for, so it wasn't like he needed to get back, but he wanted to. Around the seven month mark was when I noticed he was losing it. I was yelling across the house for him; 'Gary,' I said. Then I hear something shatter in our bedroom, so I run up. He's waiting for me, standing straight without any crutches in his full Sharpshooter outfit and asks me 'What's my goddamn name?'</p>
<p>I said 'Gary, you're drunk.' and he charged over to me and asked that question again, 'What's my goddamn name?' I didn't answer; I was scared. He looms over me and, through gritted teeth, says, 'I'm the Sharpshooter Jerry Roulette,' and leaves the house.</p>
<p><strong>Lague:</strong> Was there any abuse?</p>
<p><strong>Moreno:</strong> No, no, he never hit me or even shouted at me other than this one time. I don't know what it was, but the character Jerry Roulette became who Gary was, and Jerry was a heel. He was so sweet and loving to me and the kids. But he put on that hat and that coat, and he'd lose that part of him. He had the wherewithal to keep it out of the house.</p>
</div>
<p>SCP-8598's mental health issues and anomalous capabilities reared their head following the injury. Despite being unable to walk, whenever SCP-8598 wore his ring gear, his injuries healed and he returned to a performance-ready state. He made a drunken, unannounced appearance backstage during a WWWF event only to be escorted out and ordered to remain home until he was fully healed.</p>
<p>SCP-8598's reality warping manifested in the world around him being affected by Kayfabe. Any altercations between SCP-8598 and members of the public became official professional wrestling matches. His theme music would play upon him entering any location, and his official records would be updated to reflect the events in his life.</p>
<div class="interview">
<p><strong>Hennig:</strong> He was fucked up. It— it was sad to see; really sad. I became estranged from him for that reason. Once, he showed up at my hotel room in full gear, like he was ready to wrestle then and there. He was mumbling and slurring his words — I thought he was drunk, and I knew that the best course of action in dealing with a drunk Shooter was to get him cooled down and put him to bed. I had him take his coat and hat off, and I saw the needle marks in his arm.</p>
<p>I told him to leave, I wasn't going to deal with that. He kept repeating himself, 'The hangman needs his dues, the hangman needs his dues.' Real sad shit. I just couldn't deal with it. I had my wife in the room. I— I couldn't do it. I called Vince Sr. and told him Shooter needs an intervention fast. We organized it, all this stuff, and he shows up in his gear. We tried to sit him down, and I made the mistake of calling him Gary. He picks me up and throws me against the wall, then pins me and wins our match.</p>
<p>He turns to the group and, I'll never forget, says, 'God sends traitors to the twelfth circle, but the devil sends traitors to me. I have your bounties, and I hate keeping the hangman waiting.'</p>
</div>
<p>In another incident, SCP-8598 approached five would-be robbers attempting to mug an unknown man. The robbers turned their attention to SCP-8598 and pointed their weapons at him. In turn, SCP-8598 began cutting a promo,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> ending with his catchphrase, "Dead or alive. Step in this ring, and you'll go home cold." Simultaneously, one of the robbers, John McLeary, had climbed on top of a dumpster and performed a frog splash onto SCP-8598. The other four attempted robbers then ambushed SCP-8598. At a certain point, a referee was brought to the street and began officiating.</p>
<p>SCP-8598 would win by hitting five bodyslams on each of the attackers, pinning all five in a stack. None of them had any wrestling training or recollection of their "matches" from when they attacked to being pinned.</p>

At 3 AM, he was found in his gear outside the gorilla enclosure, microphone in hand, cutting a promo on them. The next night, two zookeepers saw him inside the enclosure, and he walked out uninjured.</p>

<p>In 1973, WWWF doctors deemed SCP-8598 healthy enough to compete. During a contract extension negotiation with the WWWF, SCP-8598 threatened to hogtie and drag Vincent J. McMahon behind his horse "until the sun charred [his] skin" due to a perceived lowball offer. Despite this, WWWF management wrote this off as SCP-8598 remaining in character, and the contract was signed.</p>
<p>SCP-8598 was pushed back to the main event scene following his return. After attacking Koloff in an on-screen segment at the Boston Garden, SCP-8598 stole his spot in a championship contendership match. During his entrance, SCP-8598 was attacked by a knife-wielding fan. Despite the gash slicing the femoral artery and SCP-8598 losing enough blood to expire, he continued to the ring. The attendee, 17-year-old Gregory Kaplin, jumped the barricade, climbed into the ring, and began performing multiple wrestling moves on SCP-8598. Kaplin was notably overweight and never had wrestling training, but despite this, the pair went 15 minutes, resulting in an SCP-8598 victory. SCP-8598 received stitches and the originally-planned match was held, resulting in an SCP-8598 win.</p>
<p>SCP-8598 finally won the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship in May 1973, becoming the fourth man in company history to hold the title.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8598.3:</strong> Death and Legacy</p>
<p>SCP-8598 was scheduled for a championship match in November against Koloff as a follow-up to the stolen contendership opportunity. He would fail to make his call time at the arena.</p>
<div class="interview">
<p><strong>Perras:</strong> Going back to the '50s, every promotion has a call time for any show. If an event starts at 8 PM, everyone had to be there by 2 PM at the latest, you should actually be there by 12 PM. By 3:30, Shooter didn't show up. We thought he had bought another horse and was fucking around on it, who knows. I talk to Vince, and he goes to Jim in talent relations, and he asks me if I know the hotel he's staying at.</p>

<p>I call it; 'Hello, I'm a wrestler for the WWWF, and one of our wrestlers hasn't shown up for the show we're having. Do you know what time he checked out? His name is Jerry Roulette.' <em>(Chuckles)</em> I knew the last thing he'd do was check in as Gary Moreno. And, uh, and, god damn it.</p>
<p><em>(Koloff sniffles.)</em></p>
<p>'Sir,' the lady says back, 'The police are here. Mr. Roulette is dead.'</p>
<p>Awful. I couldn't believe it. I still can't. <em>[…]</em> Just awful.</p>
</div>
<p>SCP-8598 died of a massive heart attack at the age of 32. While evidence of painkillers and alcohol were found in his blood, they could not be deemed the main factor in causing the heart attack. A tournament in SCP-8598's name would subsequently be held, and Bruno Sammartino would win, dedicating his championship victory to SCP-8598 in a post-show promo. SCP-8598's hat and boots were brought to the ring by Sammartino, and the championship was laid alongside the gear.</p>
<div class="interview">
<p><strong>Cornette:</strong> It's very obvious when a wrestler has problems and they can't perform. That— that wasn't the case with Sharpshooter. No one could tell where Sharpshooter ended and Gary Moreno started. Things were allowed to slide, maybe a bit more than they could with anyone else.</p>
<p>I still think about this every day. Someone so dedicated to this business, to their craft, to their art; how does that heart stop beating? He wasn't done. He wasn't even close to done, and <em>[…]</em> he didn't get a chance to finish his story. He had his issues, but it wasn't a drug overdose or alcohol poisoning, his heart just stopped.</p>
<p>Maybe he could've beaten those addictions, and maybe he could have come slightly back down to reality, and maybe he would've been a great champion. But— but he never got that chance. I think about all that potential and how much he contributed in the five years he was in the business. I can only imagine what he could've done in the next decade.</p>
</div>
<p>World Wrestling Entertainment inducted SCP-8598 into their Hall of Fame in 2012. Larry Hennig delivered the induction speech, a segment of which as been transcribed below.</p>
<div class="interview">
<div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:30%;"><img alt="hennig.png" class="image" src="https://scptestwiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/jawn/hennig.png" style="width:100%;"/>
<div class="scp-image-caption" style="width:100%;">
<p>Larry Hennig.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Hennig:</strong> You'll notice I haven't been calling Sharpshooter 'Gary Moreno,' and that is for damn good reason. Sharpshooter truly, genuinely lived as the outlaw, the cowboy, the bounty hunter, Jerry Roulette. Anytime he was around anyone, public or in the business, he was The Sharpshooter, and he expected to be treated as such.</p>
<p>I've seen many of the boys backstage meet the true Sharpshooter after giving him a mistaken "How're you doing, Gary." He'd give you your one warning, and after that, he'd make you a wanted poster and pin it up in his locker. He was going to get that bounty, dead or alive.</p>
<p>Wrestling is stageplay. Wrestling is entertainment. Wrestling is scripted. Today, we have newsletters and reporters ready to pounce on any talk from the people backstage, and it breaks the magic; it breaks the magic Sharpshooter protected for the seven short years he was in this business. He fought his ass off to make sure he was the Sharpshooter, inside and out, and that was his greatest accomplishment — to embody a character so masterfully that he became one with it. Sharpshooter may have passed, but Kayfabe lives on, and that's all he would have wanted.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> All SCP-8599 incidents are to be documented so a pattern may be established.</p>
<p>To date, there has been no progress toward discovering the origin of SCP-8599. As a result, potential containment vectors are entirely unknown, both due to the scarcity of known incidents, the inability to reproduce said incidents, and the random nature in which these incidents are triggered.</p>
<div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:30%;"><img alt="seal2.png" class="image" src="http://scptestwiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/jawn-two/seal2.png" style="width:100%;"/>

<p>An Elephant Seal.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8599 is the anomalous phenomenon leading to the manifestation and subsequent, often violent, death of an elephant seal (<em>Mirounga angustirostris</em>).</p>
<p>While the exact parameters that trigger a successful SCP-8599 event are inconsistent and not fully understood, the following has been proven regarding this phenomenon:</p>
<ul>
<li>SCP-8599 solely affects Foundation personnel;</li>
<li>The elephant seal involved in an SCP-8599 event is non-anomalous;</li>
<li>The elephant seal involved in an SCP-8599 event is created by the anomaly, as in, it is not being teleported from the active population;</li>
</ul>
<p>SCP-8599 events are triggered just before the death of exactly one member of the Foundation's personnel. It is believed that the appearance of the elephant seal is an attempt to stop the incident from transpiring, however, these deaths will still occur regardless of the hapless seal's manifestation. SCP-8599-activating events range from incredibly mundane to extremely anomalous, and attempts to replicate exact parameters in order to reproduce the phenomenon have unilaterally failed.</p>
<p>As of documentation, no discernible force or entity has been identified as the source of SCP-8599. The leading hypothesis by Site-17 researchers posits that this phenomenon is a form of failed divine intervention.</p>
<p>The following is an abridged record of notable SCP-8599 events.</p>

He is to visit the building on a monthly basis to perform routine check-ups and maintenance.</p>
<p>As SCP-8600 changes its location in unison with Amoni-Ram,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> and possesses identical entry requirements (the person intending to enter it must be familiar with its exact location), no additional containment procedures are necessary.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<h2 id="toc2"><span>Description</span></h2>
<p>SCP-8600 is a single-story building with anomalous internal dimensions, made of sandstone and fuladh.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> Both its interior and exterior resemble buildings found in <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/rounderhouse-gold-proposal" target="_blank">Amoni-Ram</a> in their use of ordered repetition, radiating structures, and rhythmic patterns. An inscription in Mekhanite above the doorway reads <em>"The Hall of the Empresses"</em>.</p>
<p>SCP-8600 comprises 10 rooms, each corresponding to a generation of the Bumaro dynasty. Each of them documents the life of the dynastic empress through plaques and murals, and is otherwise empty. Of note is that neither the number of rooms, nor height of their walls correspond to the external dimensions of the building.</p>
<p>The rooms are aligned in a circular pattern around the centerpiece of SCP-8600, a fountain with a sculpture featuring three persons: a masculine figure sitting on a throne and two feminine figures standing around it. One of them is standing behind the masculine figure, while the other one is sitting on the floor next to him, embracing his legs. The pedestal on which the statue stands contains the following text:<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup></p>
<div class="addendum">
<p><em>The leadership of Amoni-Ram consists of three components, three harmonizing pieces acting as a whole: the Emperor and His Hammer, symbolizing the Mind; the Empress and Her Staff, symbolizing the Heart; and the General and Her Spear, symbolizing the Soul. The holy union of these three guarantees the survival of Amoni-Ram. For this reason, each one of them is given equal importance.</em></p>
<p><em>Or so they say.</em></p>
<p><em>Around the Empire, power skews heavily towards the Hammer. Its virtuous actions are well documented everywhere. The Spear was lucky to find a way to preserve its legacy as well, through the Hall of Spears.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> But once the last Mekhanite dies out, who will be there to remember the Staff?</em></p>

<h2 id="toc3"><span>From Room 3: Shataash, the Descendant Empress</span></h2>
<h3 id="toc4"><span><tt>Chapter 23: "The One Who Inherits the Voice"</tt></span></h3>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>16. And Emperor Hashir spoke unto the husband of his daughter, Astir, as such:</p>
<p>17. "Answer my question, Astir: who, in your mind, will inherit the Voice?"</p>
<p>18. And Astir answered as such:</p>
<p>19. "Shataash is the one who inherits the Voice, Emperor, as she is Your daughter."</p>
<p>20. And Hashir said nothing, but asked Astir again:</p>
<p>21. "Answer my question again, Astir. Which one of you two resembles the blessed Mekhane more closely: you, or my daughter?"</p>
<p>22. And Astir answered as such:</p>
<p>23. "Shataash is the one who resembles the blessed Mekhane."</p>
<p>24. He understood not why the Emperor was asking him these questions.</p>
<p>25. As Shataash was His daughter, and as she was the one who resembles the Goddess, it was as solid as fuladh that she was the one set to inherit the Voice.</p>
<p>26. And as if Hashir read the thoughts of the young man, He shook His head, and spoke unto him as such:</p>
<p>27. "Mekhane is our blessed Goddess, yet the Emperors wield Her as a tool. They forge Her fuladh and they borrow from Her voice. It has been decreed such ever since my father, the first Bumaro. And I have found his works to be good."</p>
<p>28. And he continued as such:</p>
<p>29. "My daughter bears resemblance to the image of Mekhane. The blessings of the Voice befalls on the Man. Whether he is a descendant or not, it matters not."</p>
<p>30. But Astir did not take a liking to these words. He understood not what significance did the words of the Emperor hold, and he understood not why Shataash cannot wield the Voice.</p>
<p>31. "Emperor, are you not suggesting in earnest that I wield my dear Shataash as a tool? And are you not suggesting her resemblance to Mekhane places her underneath me? Surely it must go the other way around?"</p>
<p>32. And the Emperor had enough of hearing the doubt in the voice of Astir.</p>
<p>33. "I am not suggesting. I am instructing. You question our ways. But that will not hold me back. I shall guide you to the Throne myself, and you will be overcome with understanding."</p>
<p>34. Hashir did as told, and once Astir seated himself, he presented him a cylinder.</p>
<p>35. "This contains the memories of my father. I shall hand them over to you. You shall do the rest."</p>
<p>36. As he inserted the cylinder into the Throne, Astir went silent.</p>
<p>37. And from the doorway, this all was observed by Shataash.</p>
<p>38. The words of her father, Emperor Hashir, cut her soul deeply. The power of the Voice mattered not to her, and yet she was wounded by his words.</p>
<p>39. She understood not why her father would present her as a tool to Astir.</p>
<p>40. She treated him as a peer, despite her being the Heiress, and him being a commoner. Surely, whatever her father presented to him will not sway him.</p>
<p>41. And when she entered the throne room, her voice was tearful.</p>
<p>42. "Father, you would betray me so? Do you love me not?"</p>
<p>43. And Hashir did not look in her direction, instead observing the Throne.</p>
<p>44. "I do, Shataash, it is known. I ensured a proper upbringing for you. I taught you knowledge only the Emperors possess. But the blessing of the Voice was never yours to bear."</p>
<p>45. And Astir sat in the throne, overcome with visions left to him by the first Bumaro.</p>
<p>46. "He will understand soon," Hashir proclaimed, and moved to leave the room. "And with that, I leave you two to your own."</p>
<p>47. And when he left through the side entrance, Astir has awakened.</p>
<p>48. Shataash wanted to turn around and run, but she was unable to, as she found the main entrance to be locked.</p>
<p>49. "Astir…" she spoke unto her husband, tearful, "you love me, do you not?"</p>
<p>50. "I do," came the answer of Astir, short and sharp, as the fuladh dagger.</p>
<p>51. And when he opened his eyes to gaze upon his wife, Shataash recognized a sense of distance and cold that was not present prior.</p>
<p>52. And she spoke unto him as such, hoping she would reach him:</p>
<p>53. "You are strong, Astir. And I love you. Please, give in not to what you saw. Our strength lays in our love."</p>
<p>54. And Astir answered as such:</p>
<p>55. "I am strong, Shataash, and you know that. But I have tasted what it feels to be in charge. To be the one who controls. The strength of spirit pales next to the strength offered by power."</p>
<p>56. "Astir," Shataash pleaded him as such, "please, resist."</p>
<p>57. "<span class="voice">SILENCE,</span>" Astir commanded his wife. And as the Voice left his lips, he finally understood.</p>
<p>58. "So this is how it feels," he whispered, looking at her. "I understand now what your father meant when he told me this power was ours to bear."</p>
<p>59. And words left the lips of Shataash no longer, as if her very throat was sealed. And she looked at him with fear in her eyes, and began weeping silently.</p>

<h2 id="toc5"><span>From Room 5: Bileath, the Wise Empress</span></h2>
<h3 id="toc6"><span><tt>Section 6, Parable 1 of 12: "The Third Wisdom of Empress Bileath"</tt></span></h3>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>And Ansool knew that the scholars would view the blueprints of his wife with great scrutiny, as the old traditions of Amoni-Ram were hard to reject. The scholars viewed many moves of Bileath with suspicion, despite knowing well that the very nature of their union went against the traditional union of Emperors and Empresses.</p>
<p>As the Voice had no effect on her, Bileath gave herself to the Emperor by will, instead of by force.</p>
<p>The Third Wisdom of Bileath laid in her vast and immeasurable knowledge in technology. As her husband required not for her to suppress her self in his service, she spent countless days and nights studying the scholarly texts of Amoni-Ram. She learned the most intricate ways of working fuladh, and she learned the ways of construction, design, and blueprinting.</p>
<p>And when the scholars discovered faults within the efficiency of the transit system of the blessed Amoni-Ram, Ansool hesitated not to propose the blueprints of Bileath as a solution. And when the scholars scrutinized her blueprints, he offered them a test of wit and skills, as follows:</p>
<p>"If you want a blueprint from the Emperor, I will provide you one. I will provide you my plan for fixing the transit system. And whether mine or the ones of the blessed Bileath will be more efficient, you shall be the judge of that."</p>
<p>And Bileath minded not the concerns of the scholars, as she knew their minds were closed as a circuitry and their conviction in the old ways of the Bumaros was as solid as fuladh. Instead, she looked forward to the blueprints of her husband with awe and curiosity. If he surpassed her, she would have not minded it, for she knew in their test of wits, their chances were equal.</p>
<p>When the day of testing came, the blueprints of Ansool were brought out first. The efficiency problems were still present, though not as strongly as with the current railway system. And then the blueprints of Bileath were tested. The scholars were shocked to find out that the past efficiency problems were minimized as to be nonexistent. And they begrudgingly gave in, and admitted that the blueprints of the Empress were of better quality.</p>
<p>The skills of Bileath were put to test with great frequency, and with each test, she stood her ground. And in those in which she didn't, Ansool ensured to let the scholars know that one fault of the Empress undermined her skills not.</p>
<p>"One faulty blueprint of Bileath is enough to make your faith in her waver, yet countless faulty blueprints by me were not enough to shake your faith in me. Look into yourself, your spirit, and ask: why must the Empress be perfect to prove her skills? Why do you demand a level of perfection from her you demand not even from the Emperor?"</p>
<p>But once her son grew into power, he was swift to conceal the origin of all her blueprints, to attribute them to Ansool in her stead. His wife possessed no resistance to the Voice, therefore the desire to dominate, the one not present in his father, cropped up.</p>
<p>He could not bear to see the success of his mother, as he feared it would plant the seed of dissent within the heart of his future wife.</p>
<p>The spirit of Ansool refused to bear this. The accomplishments of Bileath were hers, not his. His memories resisted modifications, they resisted attempts to be erased. Even in death, he fought for her prowess.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The majority of the paintings show Empress Bileath sketching blueprints, attending meetings next to Emperor Ansool, <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/fratricide" target="_blank">leading the Golden Legion</a>,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup> and engaging in discussions with the advisors and the scholars of Amoni-Ram.

<div class="addendum">
<p><em>To the shrine maiden reading this:</em></p>
<p><em>Do not ponder my identity. Who I am is irrelevant. In my stead, I encourage you to think about the Empresses, exploited by their husbands ever since the Second Betrayal. Think of the shrine maidens who came before you. Of the ones who ensured the story of these women will live on, will not fade into oblivion. And spare a thought for the Generals — blindly devoted to the whims of the Emperor, without a chance of ever regaining themselves.</em></p>
<p><em>I have appointed the first shrine maiden myself. And her duty was to choose a successor. As the maiden appointed by your predecessor, you will need to do nothing other than keeping the Hall clean. The rooms will appear on their own. The walls will paint themselves. However many Empresses there will be in the future, the Hall will accommodate for each and every single one of them. I gave myself up to ensure that.</em></p>
<p><em>Only two people must know of the location of the Hall: you, and the maiden who will follow in your footsteps. As within careless hands, between careless lips, the Emperors will be sure to find out about this place.</em></p>

<p>The theory that SCP-8600 automatically expands itself every time a new Empress takes the throne has been confirmed. See <strong>Update (1984.11.19.)</strong>.</p>

<p>From the personal notes of Robert Bumaro</p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<em>Note: SCP-8600 was originally catalogued as one of the items to be submitted into the Foundation database during the Amoni-Ram Initiative. As the Initiative has since been discontinued, Robert Bumaro chose to preserve this file on his person and established the Containment Procedures outlined at the beginning of the file.</em></p>
<hr/>
<p>Looking at these rooms, it's not difficult to understand why this place was kept such a secret. I've sat in that Throne a thousand times. I've felt the centuries pass through me a thousand times. I have seen what my predecessors did, a thousand times. I understand that no Bumaro is without sin.</p>
<p>I have never pretended to be clean, but I loathe to sit here and be made to justify myself. I am combating a threat humanity has not faced since the infancy of civilization. Measures had to be taken. I did what had to be done to ensure Amoni-Ram had its proper leadership in me.</p>
<p>And in Hedvig, of course. After all, what is an empire without her empress? Nothing at all.</p>
<p>For all their wisdom, the creator of this shrine did not foresee Amoni-Ram’s destruction. No one did. The activation of the Kiss was instantaneous; a bright flash of light, and the rumbling of mountains. When the dust settled, Amoni-Ram was not the shining metropolis, the Gate to the West. It was the mausoleum for a hundred thousand dead. I imagine the mistress of this shrine never even knew her death was at hand.</p>
<p>But I will honor her. I will ensure her wishes are followed. Only one person will know of this place, of what it contains. Me.</p>
<p>There will be no cleaners. There will be no shrine maidens. This place is a monument to the sins of my predecessors. A temple to the rot and rust in Amoni-Ram. Then let the rust devour the core. As long as the exterior remains smooth, burnished fuladh — no one will want to question anything.</p>

<h2 id="toc7"><span>From Room 7: Asum, the Silent Empress</span></h2>
<h3 id="toc8"><span><tt>Excerpt from Chapter 15: "That Which Remains Unpunished"</tt></span></h3>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>Asum slept in the shed, her fleshcrafting skills suppressed by the charged fuladh suit covering her body.</p>
<p>Rustayl looked at her from where he was standing, then turned to General Hutr.</p>
<p>"My decision is final. I will be marrying her in your stead."</p>
<p>Hutr stared at him in bewilderment, eyes going wide underneath her helmet.</p>
<p>"Go ahead, take your rage out on her," he encouraged his General, nudging his head at the slumbering Asum. "This is what you want, is it not?"</p>
<p>General Hutr clenched her fists, with her gaze planted firmly on the face of her Emperor.</p>
<p>"I will take out my rage on <em>you</em>, Rustayl. I can see through you like through the stained glass windows of the Palace, as we have known each other since a very young age. You are trying to turn my passion for you into a perverse force against this innocent prisoner! You are trying to convince me that this is her fault instead of yours! That her mere existence pushed your hands onto her, instead of your own hubris and thirst for conquering."</p>
<p>She raised her fist, and flung it against her Emperor. However, her strike was never fated to land.</p>
<p>"<span class="voice">GO AHEAD, TAKE YOUR RAGE OUT ON <em>HER</em>,</span>" he repeated his words unmoved by her incoming fist. "<span class="voice">THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT. IS IT NOT?</span>"</p>
<p>The fist of Hutr froze midway in the air, then it slowly lowered to her side.</p>
<p>"You are right, my liege. Please forgive me for my insolence."</p>
<p>"I will not be forgiving you, and you know that. However, pay attention to my words: <span class="voice">IT IS HER FAULT, BECAUSE HER VILLAGE WAS IN THE WAY OF MY PATH OF CONQUEST. IT IS HER FAULT, BECAUSE SHE WAS SLUMBERING IN HER HOUSE AS I PASSED BY. IT IS HER FAULT, BECAUSE SHE POSSESSES SUCH AN OTHERWORLDLY BEAUTY. I REALLY, TRULY HAVE NO SAY IN THIS, NO CONTROL OVER MYSELF. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY ACTIONS, UP TO AND INCLUDING MY DECISION TO MARRY HER IN YOUR STEAD, COMES FROM HER EFFECT ON ME.</span>"</p>
<p>"Understandable. Please forgive me for doubting you. You speak true words, Emperor Rustayl. It is her fault, not yours."</p>
<p>"Punish her in my stead. Punish her as you see fit. I give you full reign."</p>
<p>He stepped back and turned to Asum, waiting in delight for the scene that was to unfold as Hutr moved towards her.</p>
<p>And just as he anticipated, the violence did not make him wait. Upon reaching the slumbering woman, his General yanked her up by the hair, roughly and without mercy.</p>
<p>"What did I do to hurt you?" Asum asked in tears, when she woke up from the pain on her scalp.</p>
<p>"You stole my husband from me," Hutr responded in Adytite.</p>
<p>"I did not. I did not want to take part in any of this… please, understand."</p>
<p>"Silence!"</p>
<p>Without giving her a chance to respond, Hutr kicked Asum in the chest. The kick sent the woman flying with its sheer strength, making her hit the wall on the other side of the shed. Seeing her go limp from the sudden impact, a tyrannical glee has overcome Emperor Rustayl.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The murals of Room 7 show the razing of Asum's village by the Mekhanite army and her kidnapping by Emperor Rustayl. Several paintings are dedicated to the process of replacement of her body with fuladh components. Additionally, items worn by her are examples of the suppression technologies utilized by the ancient Mekhanites to prevent the Nälkäns and the Daevites from using their thaumaturgical skills.</em></p>
<p><em>Following her kidnapping by Emperor Rustayl, the face of Empress Asum has been depicted featureless on every subsequent mural.]</em></p>

<h2 id="toc9"><span>From Room 9: Fithma, the Last Empress</span></h2>
<h3 id="toc10"><span><tt>Book 31, Song 43: "A test of convictions"</tt></span></h3>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>And Shabril sat on the fuladh throne,<br/>
Deep in thought.<br/>
For he knew not what to do.<br/>
Every bit of support was needed,<br/>
With the forces of the Covenant and the Nälkä,<br/>
But he knew not whether to send<br/>
His wife, Fithma, into the battle<br/>
To aid the rescue of his people.</p>
<p>"We already have our one woman, <em>Shahansha</em>,<br/>
On the frontlines, no? My wife out there would<br/>
Surely be too much."</p>
<p>To which his advisor shook his head, and spoke:<br/>
"Now is not the time,<br/>
Surely you understand?<br/>
I know through care you have ensured,<br/>
And so did the Emperors before you,<br/>
That no woman may go too high in the ranks<br/>
Of the Golden Legion,<br/>
Other than <em>Shahansha</em> herself,<br/>
But I repeat myself:<br/>
Now is not the time."</p>
<p>But Shabril wanted not to send his wife out,<br/>
Even with Amoni-Ram needing defense.</p>
<p>"You have to understand,<br/>
My wife was not made for battle,<br/>
For she spent her life in the palace,<br/>
Servicing me and the people.<br/>
So surely, you do not expect me to<br/>
Send her out into the danger, unprepared,<br/>
And risk her life?"</p>
<p>To which his advisor shook his head again, and spoke:<br/>
"Your words are as two-toned<br/>
As the gold and silver on your armor.<br/>
For I know that the Empress<br/>
Is as skilled at flying as the most skilled general.<br/>
As were all the empresses before her,<br/>
As long as they possessed wings,<br/>
And you know that too.</p>
<p>"And do not forget, Emperor,<br/>
This is not the first time I heard you argue.<br/>
Your concern for her life was nothing but<br/>
A thought hastily amended to the end<br/>
To move me. As a trick it could work,<br/>
If you were talking with somebody,<br/>
Who knew you not."</p>
<p>And Shabril wanted not to give merit to such words,<br/>
Yet he had to admit that his advisor was right.<br/>
And still, he was not ready to give in.</p>
<p>"Surely you understand,<br/>
That the convictions of Mekhane<br/>
Make it a necessity to keep<br/>
Women down low,<br/>
Unless making a statement,<br/>
Do you not?"</p>
<p>To which his advisor shook his head<br/>
For the third time now,<br/>
And spoke:<br/>
"Who will there be there for you to<br/>
Uphold your convictions to,<br/>
If this city will be uprooted by the Covenant like an unwanted weed<br/>
And excised by the Nälkä like an unwanted tumor?<br/>
Save your people first, and only then<br/>
Will you get to worry about<br/>
Where Empress Fithma should and should not be.</p>
<p>And forgive me for speaking as such,<br/>
Emperor Shabril,<br/>
But it appears to me you care not about convictions<br/>
As much as you claim to.<br/>
For if you did, you would not let me<br/>
Stand here, and question your ways<br/>
Without a due punishment."</p>
<p>And Shabril hid his face<br/>
Behind the back of his fuladh palm,<br/>
And sighed, for the man was right.</p>
<p>"You speak truth, my advisor,<br/>
And I do not like that.<br/>
But you would be right in that<br/>
My citizens come first, convictions later.<br/>
I am unable to believe I was<br/>
So blinded by this,"<br/>
Gestured he at the throne,<br/>
"To forget what we must do.<br/>
Summon Fithma posthaste,<br/>
And I will tell her what her job will be.<br/>
And summon our <em>shahansha</em> too, for<br/>
I have orders for her as well."</p>

<p><em>[The paintings of the room for the most part depict scenes from the last battle for Amoni-Ram. Nälkän flesh beasts and Daevite sorcerers are shown fighting the Mekhanite soldiers. Empress Fithma is shown flying around the battleground, rescuing citizens and placing them near entrances into the Undercity.</em></p>
<p><em>The murals end abruptly, leaving the lower half of the wall completely empty. The last paintings show a power surge washing over Amoni-Ram and citizens, as well as soldiers from all sides, dying from its impact.]</em></p>

<h2 id="toc11"><span>Update (1984.11.19.)</span></h2>
<p>On the 19th of November, 1984, a 10th room appeared inside SCP-8600, dedicated to Dr. Nussbaum. Its manifestation happened following the conclusion of the marriage ceremony.</p>

</div>
<hr/>
<p>A new light shone upon Amoni-Ram<br/>
With the arrival of the Mechanist and the Scholar.<br/>
Empress Hedvig was soft, intelligent,<br/>
She knew her craft well and knew her tools of trade.<br/>
With their guiding hands,<br/>
She unearthed the abandoned city<br/>
While Emperor Robert breathed life into it.</p>
<p>However, as his predecessors,<br/>
Robert was unable to resist the calling of the Voice.<br/>
All he showed was stubborn denial,<br/>
While his mind was already set.</p>
<p>So he did not hesitate to plunge his blade into his peer.<br/>
An eye and a tooth for nothing.<br/>
The cycle did not break with the new generation.</p>
<p>The scholarly past has been left behind,<br/>
In its stead she received her golden wings.<br/>
Her intelligence and skills have been sanded off,<br/>
Forced to take upon the role of the General and the Empress.<br/>
Her agency outshone by her purpose,<br/>
Was this a fair exchange?</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The murals of the room are unfinished. Their focus is on the life of Saint Hedvig before the Amoni-Ram Initiative. The last paintings on the wall show the confrontation between her and Robert Bumaro, the battle for Amoni-Ram against the Foundation forces, and the marriage ceremony.]</em></p>

<div class="blockquote lightweight">
<p>With her body shattered, far away from Amoni-Ram,<br/>
Weighed down by despair, by a sense of loss,<br/>

Guided by the spirits of the past,<br/>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8601 (colloquially 'Null Island') is the anomalous appearance of random objects (SCP-8601-1 instances) in the sea at the crossing of the prime meridian and the equator at exactly 0°N 0°E 0m altitude. SCP-8601-1 instances manifest instantaneously<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> at the average sea level<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup>. The objects are very varied, ranging from junk to high-tech equipment, almost always completely malformed or destroyed by the simultaneous intersection with the atmosphere, ocean, and previous instances, with temperatures ranging from 98 °C to 677 °C in 95% of cases.</p>
<p>Manifestation events are random with discernible patterns. Grouping the suspected national origins of SCP-8601-1 instances reveals 38% more objects manifest during the local working hours, and 58% less objects manifest during local weekends or local holidays. Appendix A lists rare occasions where large amounts of instances may manifest simultaneously, resulting in high-yield events. On an average day, 1012 manifestation events occur with an average total mass of 90 Mg. Further study of instances and locating their sources and displacement are forbidden per RCT-Δt policy.</p>

<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> The Foundation satellite detected a 1.2 x 10<sup>14</sup> J explosion on 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC in the Gulf of Guinea near 0°N 0°E. Analysis indicated the event was not due to a thermonuclear detonation. Neither POTUS nor GSCPSU accepted responsibility when questioned and the event was deemed anomalous. SCP-8601 was designated after observing several manifestation events. Foundation researchers discovered a large underwater deposit of destroyed materials and testing commenced.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 1980-01-06:</strong> Foundation satellites detected a 9.3 x 10<sup>12</sup> J explosion on 1980-01-06 00:00:00 UTC at SCP-8601. NATO and WTO were immediately informed. The research team was lost and the west African coast was wrecked by the subsequent tsunami. Mass cover story PR-8601-2 was instituted and the containment procedures adjusted accordingly. The debris at SCP-8601 was determined to be predominantly vehicular components.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 1999-08-22:</strong> Testing had discontinued in favor of containment after years of predictable behavior and no explanation for the high-yield events. However, a 3.2 x 10<sup>13</sup> J explosion occurred on 1999-08-21 23:59:47 UTC. Researchers noted the 1980-01-06 and 1999-08-22 events coincided with the Global Positioning System epochs, a new technology at the time, and the 1970-01-01 event also coincided with the epoch used by many operating systems.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 2000-01-01:</strong> Explosions of magnitudes ranging from 7.6 x 10<sup>12</sup> J to 1.6 x 10<sup>13</sup> J began on 1999-12-31 12:00:00 UTC and repeating each hour / half hour / 15 minutes for another 24 hours, mostly matching the timezones currently in use. The special containment procedures were amended with the Appendix A cautionary periods.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 2019-04-07:</strong> As predicted, a 4.2 x 10<sup>13</sup> J explosion occurred along with the third GPS epoch on 2019-04-07 23:59:42 UTC and the countermeasures undertaken to avoid tsunami damage were successful.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 2020-04-17:</strong> The following information was found in the archives of Her Majesty's Royal Foundation for the Study of Curiosities and Phantasmagoria:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The Royal Foundation became aware of a new island at 0°N 0°E reported by returning explorers in early 1900, which they claimed did not exist in late 1899, from which they had recovered unusual materials. Researchers were sent to the island which they determined to be composed largely from destroyed metallic objects of unknown function. The research efforts were not prioritized due to the mundane nature and remote location of the anomaly.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Researchers returned to the island in early 1902 but failed to locate it. Questioning of the locals on São Tomé revealed a very destructive tsunami on Friday, 13 December 1901 which was collaborated across the Gulf of Guinea. A tsunami was also reported on new year's eve 1900 when the island might have originally appeared.</p>

Fluctuations in high-yield SCP-8601 events are furthermore invaluable to promptly fingerprint timelines. RCT-Δt fully supports the proposed computer system requirements, but proposals for neutralization or full containment are denied due to SCP-8601's near-thaumiel status and well-known future behavior.</em></p>

<p><strong>Appendix B - Computer System Requirements</strong>:</p>
<p>The O5 council hereby mandates the immediate worldwide discontinuance of computer systems with 32-bit timekeeping, the use of full length years (not merely 2 or 4 digits), and the upgrade of all protocols and file formats to versions with 64-bit timestamps without overflow issues within the expected lifetime of the universe. No new epochs shall be adopted to prevent further high-yield events. Non-values shall be represented using explicit null/undefined/uninitialized values of a different type instead of zero or any particular value. Further humorous requests to redesignate the anomaly as SCP-000 will be categorically denied with prejudice and reprimanded as failing to learn the essential lessons of SCP-8601 to properly distinguish no value and zero.</p>

<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Sapienta</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Due to its ubiquity within the human population, SCP-8619 has been adopted into the Normalcy Doctrine.</p>
<p>The fabricated medical condition "Appendicitis" has been introduced into the popular and intellectual conscious through a high density misinformation campaign to allow for the below-veil elimination of active SCP-8619 instances during "Appendectomy" surgeries. All medical correspondence is to be monitored for potential active instances, utilizing <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8169">Cover Story-3821-SMIW (“Inquiry by Public Health Officials")</a> in tandem with discreet global MTF Phi-81 ("Non-Specific Colitis") deployments to dispose of hazardous biological material.</p>

<p>Excised SCP-8619 Instance</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8619 is the official designation for the vermiform appendix.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> Though all instances are considered anomalous, most will display no anomalous effects during their host's lifetime.</p>
<p>The onset of anomalous activity within SCP-8619 instances, or "Appendicitis",<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> denotes a sudden inflammation of the instance within the subject, and is most commonly indicated by a dull pain in the center of the subject's abdomen. As activity intensifies, additional effects may include further pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation, which will each increase in severity over a 24-72 hour period without medical intervention.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup></p>
<p>At any time, an inflamed SCP-8619 instance within a subject may initiate the following process.</p>
<p>First, the subject will experience an unnaturally large release of endorphins into the body, leading to sudden pain relief, and the impression that the ailment has passed. This event indicates that the SCP-8619 instance has hijacked the subject's hormone system, and will subsequently regulate the subject's relevant hormonal levels to encourage high food consumption, lowered digestion, drowsiness, and bliss. Subjects will remain in this consumption-resting cycle until all accessible nourishment has been consumed, which in most cases, amounts to all food stored within their household.</p>
<p>Once nourishment can no longer be located, the subject will experience a sudden onset of extreme lethargy and exhaustion, along with depressive mood cycles due to their overexerted hormonal glands. In this sedentary condition, adipose tissue growth is spurned by the SCP-8619 instance, causing growths of fat and muscle to seal all the subject's external orifices. Due to this high-metabolic event, the subject will cultivate a layer of dead tissue, oils, and hair that will encapsulate them, then solidify as layers of the substances build upon one another. These combined symptoms will cause most subjects to perish due to asphyxiation, their airways procedurally clogging as both clotting and shell development proceed.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup></p>
<p>After approximately 2 weeks of sedentary growth, the SCP-8619 instance will begin to ooze digestive enzymes into the primed subject, pre-digesting first the contents of the chest cavity, progressing outward through the extremities, then stopping, unable to digest the shell. Once the process is complete, only the shell, protein soup, and SCP-8619 instance will remain.</p>
<p>In the following months, the SCP-8619 instance will absorb its prepared nutrient solution as it develops a mass of tissue, filling the interior shell. Before early structures can form, however, instances will exhaust the totality of their nutrient solution supply. As a reserve fuel source, the instance will begin to re-digest the newly expressed tissues within its shell repeatedly, perpetuating a cycle of growth and digestion that leads to an accumulation of off-gas that will remain trapped within the shell. Eventually, extreme gas buildup will cause the shell to burst, scattering its mid-development internal elements around the surrounding area, and rendering the instance neutralized.</p>
<p>No further stages have been observed at present.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Test Record: SCP-8619 Incubation</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Proposal:</strong> An excised SCP-8619 instance at or near maximum inflammation is to be suspended in the center of a tank (1 x 1 x 1 meters) filled with nutrient solution that closely mimics that which would be produced by a wild instance pre-digesting a human being. As the instance consumes solution, additional solution is to be cycled through the tank with an external pump. Research staff are to observe the instance as it grows.</p>
<div style="border:solid 1px black;padding:0px 10px;margin-bottom:10px">
<p><strong>Day 1</strong> - Test initiated; no immediate activity.</p>
<p><strong>Day 2</strong> - Digestive enzyme detected in solution; Instance confirmed viable.</p>
<p><strong>Day 14</strong> - First signs of tissue growth expressed uniformly from central node. Solution cycling initiated.</p>
<p><strong>Day 23</strong> - Observation personnel note a specific interest in the dorsal region of the instance, which while uniform texturally, appears to be bulging. Further growth has been deemed necessary to confirm organ formation.</p>
<p>Additionally, unprecedented overall tissue growth has necessitated relocation to a backup tank (5 x 5 x 5 meters). Instance continues to grow without issue.</p>
<p><strong>Day 38</strong> - All evidence of the instance's dorsal bulge growth has subsided, likely eliminating the possibility of advanced structure formation in that region at present. A new possible formation has been noted, marked by a radial bunching in the instance's midsection without a clear external stimulus.</p>
<p>The instance continues to grow at an accelerating rate, rapidly exhausting initial nutrient solution stock.</p>
<p>Additional reservoir of nutrient solution requested; <span style="color: green">Cleared.</span></p>
<p><strong>Day 48</strong> - Equatorial bunching remains around instance, though tank crowding renders observations imprecise. Relocation to a larger tank has been deemed necessary to not impede the instance as it grows, and allow more precision in the location of structural elements for potential organs.</p>
<p>No tank has been located on site or within accessible radius fitting requirements. Test projected to conclude without meaningful results.</p>
<p>Requesting permission to exert extreme measures to advance test; <span style="color: green">Cleared.</span></p>
<p><strong>Day 51</strong> - Backup tank breached by instance growth. Extreme protocols initiated; Testing sublevel evacuated then flooded with nutrient reservoir.</p>
<p>Though previously observed bunching has not resulted in obvious organ function, unrestrained growth within widened environment appears to be split across the divided hemispheres, most demonstrably with the two primary tank breach points being located in the upper and lower hemisphere respectively, and further growth expanding from these nodes. Observational staff hypothesize these two growth centers will serve to host the primary functional organs for the fully developed instance. However, no signifiers of advanced structures have yet formed.</p>
<p><strong>Day 52</strong> - Though observational capabilities are limited at this time, the extreme growth acceleration of the instance has been hypothesized to be analogous to early fetal growth patterns, and consequently, the emergence of advanced structures should be imminent.</p>
<p>Approximately 60% of all provided nutrient solution has been consumed.</p>
<p><strong>Day 53</strong> - During early morning hours, the instance exhibited a sudden burst of growth, rapidly consuming the remaining nutrient solution until it encompassed the totality of the sublevel. Following totality, nearly all observational faculties were lost, and subsequently breach door sensors soon began to warn of dangerous pressure levels within the sublevel. As caution against a breach, evacuation procedure was initiated, and the site entered a state of alarm.</p>
<p>5 minutes after the onset of alarm status, the sublevel breached, releasing a flood of still rapidly growing tissue throughout the site. Due to inexperience with evacuation protocol conditions, a number of personnel were caught by the instance, subsumed, and rapidly digested by subsurface enzymes.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> After 20 minutes, tissue growths were spotted emanating from numerous major Site exits. Further growth has been minimal.</p>
<p>Initial post-evacuation observations note homogeneity in tissue matter at all external sample points, with no evidence of emergent advanced structures.</p>
<p>Additional reservoir of nutrient solution requested; <span style="color: red">Denied.</span></p>
<p>Continued testing terminated per Oversight Committee order. In anticipation of the instance initiating the self-digestive cycles seen in human-sized instances, a secure perimeter has been established around what used to be Site-619. The perimeter is to be manned by MTF Phi-81, who will monitor the instance's degradation and eventually clear all biohazardous materials.</p>
<p><strong>Day 56</strong> - Phi-81 reports delays in instance removal due to immense heat in the entity's immediate vicinity. After employing an infrared device, a vibrant hotspot was found emanating from instance interior. Other attempted scans to identify the nature of the hotspot were inconclusive.</p>
<p>Operatives expect to continue removal once heat subsides.</p>
<p><strong>Day 104</strong> - Phi-81 reports decline in intensity of infrared signal. Surface heat remains too high for efficient disposal.</p>
<p><strong>Day 147</strong> Infrared signal greatly diminished. Surface heat minimal; Disposal resumed.</p>
<p><strong>Day 198</strong> - During a routine patrol of the rotting instance, a group of MTF Phi-81 agents identified a lesion in the instance's surface which had burst, revealing an interior passageway. After gaining clearance to enter from command, the group spent the latter half of the day charting the interior of the instance, noted as being comprised of thick walls of dry sinew with sparse empty pockets of foul gas surrounded by thin, waxy membranous flesh. This pattern remained consistent throughout the majority of the instance, the group was able to identify one unusually large pocket at the center of its area where an entity now classified as SCP-8619-Alpha was suspended.</p>
<p><strong>Day 302</strong> - All remaining hazardous biological material cleared.</p>
</div>
<p>SCP-8619-Alpha denotes an entity most closely comparable in form to a developing moth imago, though hundreds of times larger, and composed entirely of flesh genetically related to that of <em>Homo Sapiens</em>. SCP-8619-Alpha was already deceased upon discovery, being found in an emaciated and underdeveloped state that was rapidly degrading in a similar manner to the surrounding incubation instance. With this being true, in the initial report from MTF Phi-81 following the expedition, SCP-8619-Alpha was described as "absolutely beautiful".</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Though the attempt at incubating a viable SCP-8619 instance failed, SCP-8619-Alpha serves as undeniable proof of an Imago stage of human development.</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> 8623</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Prima Facie</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Before further consultation of this file, personnel must be aware of the following.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The sun will never set.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This understanding serves as a baseline for both the containment and continued propagation of containment prophecy pertaining to SCP-8623. Furthermore, It is imperative that this tenet goes unquestioned in the mind and actions of operating containment staff. Understand that in a position of doubt or reason, acting personnel are expected to immediately consult and defer to SCP-8623 scholars for interpretative consultation, which may result in termination, relocation, or reorganization in extreme cases.</p>
<p>With this gravity and consequence in mind, then, internalize the tenet and continue reading sequentially through Containment Axiomata I-III. Be aware that further reading of the grace texts is to your prevailing whim, or the whim of SCP-8623 scholars thus deferred.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></p>
<hr/>
<p><em>Containment Axiom I:</em></p>
<p>Address the following underlying truth.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The containment of SCP objects serves to preserve normalcy.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Relish in the fact that you know this to be true, and continue emboldened by your righteousness.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>Containment Axiom II:</em></p>
<p>Utilizing the central tenet beside the underlying truth, SCP-8623 scholars have extrapolated the following principle.</p>
<blockquote>

Nevertheless, it has been compelled to be and thrust into being.</p>
<p>The following allowance has been given to those unwilling to accept the veracity of the triumvirate Axiomata:</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8623 is self-evident.</p>
<p>The following allowance has been given to those unwilling to face the truth of the-world-as-it-is-and-must-be:</p>
<p><strong>Incident 1:</strong> It is the opinion of SCP-8623-A scholars that the below hath occurred.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>The Sermon of Great Swans:</em></p>
<p>On the dawn of the fateful day, the central Axiom was thus discovered rent into neigh uncountable pieces. The dutiful guards and scholars bowed upon her and wept. The world collapsed, and none remained.</p>
<p>Still however, persistence claimed its ever-place in the nothing, and time which nigh stopped recalled that which occurred once before, and stepped forth into a great relapse into the depths of never-bending.</p>
<p>It was not ceasing, there, the place that always-is and must-be, further and closer there to all central-things that dictate the-world-as-it-is-and-must-be. So still the heart beat on.</p>
<p>Oh placid island.</p>
<p>Oh river of steam.</p>
<p>I ask, before we continue, that we pray to this moment together.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Oh placid island</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Oh river of steam</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Oh glories mounted fore our time;</em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Our legitimacy</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Our degeneracy</em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Once more nevermore</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Once more evermore</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Once more true.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Amen.</em></p>
<p>It was those days of waiting when we broadcast our failure to the greater council. Vivid memories of paper in chains and jewels falling from the sky upon all. Terrorsome skies, the boon of the infidels. Insulting our name as they feasted upon corpse-some fragments of glory; the shreds of the once central Axiom, lost to time.</p>
<p>But he.</p>
<p>Oh he, that stepped into the near-center-place was mighty and brought to light the truth of the prophecy we always knew to be real.</p>
<p>It was so,</p>

<p>SCP-8630, being worn.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Item Number:</strong> SCP-8630</p>
<p><strong>Object Classification:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8630 is stored in a standard Anomalous Item Containment Unit at Site-02. Testing of the object requires approval from Site-02 administrative personnel and at least one Overseer sponsor. Overseers are not to be present during testing.</p>
<p>SCP-8630's origins are to be obscured through the continued propagation of Operation 8630/1 ("Dazzling Rubies"). For more information, consult corresponding documentation.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8630 refers to a white, fingerless leather glove manufactured in 1962. In spite of its relatively early acquisition, it shows significant signs of wear for its age. The object displays abnormal Hume fluctuations consistent with most anomalous phenomena, though no other detectable aberrations.</p>
<p>SCP-8630's anomalous properties activate while the glove is worn during a game of darts. When an individual attempts to throw a dart at a target using SCP-8630, the dart will always land directly on its target, regardless of the dart's initial momentum or the wielder's capabilities. This effect is often achieved through the occurrence of increasingly improbable events, corresponding inversely to the likelihood of the dart's initial conditions naturally allowing it to reach the target.</p>
<p>The definition of a "dart game" for the purposes of activating SCP-8630 appears to be vague. Thus far, the following criteria have been contingent for the anomaly to occur:</p>
<ul>
<li>The object thrown with SCP-8630 must be a projectile used in a form of sport;</li>
<li>The target must be an object within the wielder's line of sight;</li>
<li>The wielder must consider the current circumstances to constitute a "dart game" in some regard.</li>
</ul>
<p>As long as these three conditions are fulfilled, the thrown object will always land on the designated target within approximately five seconds. See the <a href="/scp-8630-testing-log">SCP-8630 Testing Log</a> for examples.</p>
<p>After the projectile collides with its intended target, no further anomalous properties are discernible.</p>

<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> SCP-8630 was discovered on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository on November 22nd, 1963, alongside a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.</p>
<p>Note that despite three gunshots being heard by witnesses, only one bullet casing was found in the sniper's nest. See Operation 8630/1 briefings for further details.</p>

<p>You shuffle down a hallway that you didn’t know existed, looking for a department you’ve never heard of before. That’s not an unusual occurrence for auditors at the biggest site in the SCP Foundation; you’ve run all over the place tracking down the various expenses of this or that department, all in the name of keeping spending down and productivity up. Today was unusual, though, because you’re the third auditor to try and find this particular department. Your two predecessors are convinced that the department doesn’t exist, but the boss made it clear that failure wouldn’t be tolerated a third time. So here you are, clipboard in hand, running around like a chicken with no head, making wrong turn after wrong turn, hitting deadend after deadend…</p>
<p>And then you find it.</p>
<p>Two inconspicuous wooden doors at the very end of the most out-of-the-way hallway in the entire Foundation, one of which bears a small nameplate reading:</p>

<p>The Department of Everyday Anomalies and Disinformation<br/>
of Explained, Neutralized, and Decommissioned SCPs</p>
</div>
<p>… which tells you absolutely nothing about what this department actually does. You’re pretty sure the Foundation doesn’t even decommission SCPs anymore. Below the nameplate is a sticky note with <span style='color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS", cursive, sans-serif; font-size: 100%;'>“Welcome to the Deadend!”</span> scribbled on it. You take a deep breath, hoping that this is not, in fact, a deadend, and…</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> All copies of SCP-8650 are to be held within High-Yield Data Storage Facility 3 at Site-43. Due to the high amounts of classified information within, Foundation personnel with clearance level <a href="/scp-6500">6500-5</a> or higher who are exposed to SCP-8650 are to be subject to immediate administration of Class-A amnestics. MTF Lambda-11 is to observe all personnel involved in the discovery of SCP-8650 and their respective Sites for connections to Splinter Group 6500-1.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8650 refers to a two-part film, with a total combined runtime of 7:18:03, produced by Vikander-Kneed Technical Media. Branding for the film, titled <em>SCP: Inevitable</em>, indicates that it is part of the "SCP Cinematic Universe" or "SCPCU"; the Foundation has no record of this brand's existence.</p>
<p>Broadly speaking, SCP-8650 recounts the events surrounding the neutralization of <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6500">SCP-6500</a> by a combination of Foundation personnel operating on an international, and interdimensional, scale. Past VKTM productions have recruited actual Foundation personnel, or used simulacrum of said personnel, for use in their anomalies. However, several prominent actors and voice performers were cast in the film, and are listed in the end credits.</p>
<p>With the exception of Ben Schwartz and Benedict Cumberbatch, who were both hired to read several lines of dialog for their respective roles without any context, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">and Steven Seagal, who claimed to remember being cast for the film in late 2021</span><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> no actors who were credited in SCP-8650 recall being involved with its production.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 1: Discovery</strong></p>
<p>SCP-8650 was discovered after several members of Foundation personnel — Dr. Udo Okorie, Chief Delfina Ibanez, Dr. Katherine Sinclair, Dr. Montgomery Reynolds, Dr. Daniel Asheworth, Dr. Placeholder McDoctorate, and Dr. William Wallace Wettle — were abducted from their respective Sites for a seven-hour duration on the night of April 26th, 2024.</p>
<p>All Foundation personnel were found back in their respective living quarters at approximately 3:20 PM EST on April 27th, 2024, all claiming to have no memory of what happened while they were abducted. Dr. Sinclair, Dr. Okorie, and Dr. Asheworth all independently surrendered DVD copies of SCP-8650 that they had been given by a VKTM representative; attempted acroamatic abatement of the items has resulted in equipment failure, and digital copies were found uploaded to the Foundation's servers, in a file marked 'DOOMSDAY :)'.</p>
<p>Attached is an abridged log of recordings taken from monitoring equipment on Chief Ibanez and Dr. Asheworth's person.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Begin Log</strong></p>
<p><em>Chief Ibanez is walking through Site-43's corridors alongside Dr. Okorie. They are both transporting Dr. Wettle to Site-43's infirmary on a gurney, with Okorie on the front.</em></p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> I think that was a little too far this time.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> I'm sure that Lillian didn't intend for him to eat that ghost pepper chip. Hey, Wettle, are you alive?</p>
<p><em>Wettle groans loudly, clutching his head with his left hand, his stomach with his right.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> He's responsive. Assuming the capsaicin didn't burn a hole through his stomach…</p>
<p><em>Okorie stops in front of the door which leads to Site-43's Health & Pathology Department. She presses her badge against the reader; it is unresponsive.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Dammit. Fina, can I borrow yours? My aura might have fried my badge again.</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> Sure. Catch.</p>
<p><em>Ibanez throws her badge to Okorie, who catches it; as she presses it against the scanner, Wettle abruptly sits upright.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Oh. For the love of god, <em>do not open that door!</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> …Why not?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> It's— it's some kind of ominous feeling. Something bad is behind there. Please, I know I… just listen to me. Okorie, d—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Wettle, you're delirious from the spice. We'll get you to the infirmary, hold on.</p>
<p><em>The door opens. Dr. Okorie steps through, and finds herself in a circular room. Wettle and Ibanez follow, and Wettle groans audibly.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Yup! Of course it is.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> …This… isn't H&P.</p>
<p><em>A door opposite Ibanez's camera opens. Dr. Montgomery Reynolds and Dr. Katherine Sinclair enter, wearing formal clothing. Sinclair is laughing and holding a cocktail glass.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> What, are you in high school all of the sudden? Taking me into a closet, honestly…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> Just trying to make up for lost time.</p>
<p><em>Reynolds embraces Sinclair, and then looks up to see Ibanez, Okorie, and Wettle.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> …Katherine, I don't think we're in Wisconsin anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Hmm?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Sinclair looks at the assembled party, abruptly dropping her glass. Rather than shattering on impact, it falls through the floor.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Katherine. What are you—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> What are <em>you—</em> one second I'm at a function at Site-87 — containment procedure, long story — and the next I'm at 43?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Okay, more people. That's good, I think? Less of a chance they focus on you. I just hope this doesn't turn into <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8889">Season Two</a>…</p>
<p><em>A third door opens. Dr. Placeholder McDoctorate steps through, holding a vanilla ice cream, and conversing with Dr. Daniel Asheworth.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> …And then I said, 'no, dramatic irony is when you come home to a murder scene… and all your shirts are wrinkled!'</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> …I'm afraid I don't understand.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> Well, you see, it—</p>
<p><em>Dr. Sinclair clears her throat. McDoctorate turns to face her.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> Kat?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Place? You're supposed to be in Esterberg until the start of May, I thought.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> We… <em>were</em> in Esterberg, until… oh, <em>Sukinsynu</em>. Spatial anomaly?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> Seems that way. But why…</p>
<p><em>The floor abruptly falls away, and all personnel present are in freefall for approximately ten seconds, before their momentum is arrested and they land in front of an IMAX movie screen.

<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> …Monty, to your knowledge, has there been any odd activity at the movie theater in Sloth's Pit?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> Not since the Pit Sloth, but you can never be too prepared. I told Tristan that the department of cinematic studies was a good idea, but did he listen?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Don't worry, this isn't you. It's something worse.</p>

<p><strong>All Foundation Personnel:</strong> Oh, son of a <em>bitch!</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Welcome, welcome! Sorry to draw you away from any pertinent medical emergencies, luxury galas, or ice cream dates.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> It wasn't— the hell do you want, you extradimensional executive?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Ooh, alliterative, I like that. Can we use that in the sequel?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> <em>Sequel?</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Ah, you aren't aware, then. I don't blame you, wouldn't do numbers in your world. Long story short? We here at Vikander-Kneed have decided to break into the long-standing reality that is the film business, and create our very-own cross-media franchise— the SCP Cinematic Universe! SCPCU for short.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Okay, so, I get why you dragged <em>me</em> into it. Expect it to happen every day before lunch at this point. But why everyone else?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well, we need a test audience for our newest film, and who better than the people the film is based on?</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording, and sounds of confusion. After about ten seconds, Sinclair swears loudly.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> You made a <em>film</em> based on 6500?!</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well, no, that would be crude and insensitive to those who died during the Impasse. We made a film based on your attempts to stop it! It's got an extremely star-studded cast.</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> Hold on, we didn't sign any kind of—</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Someone needs to read their Goldbaker-Reinz plans more carefully. You sign away your likeness right on an annual basis, Delfina.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup></p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> Question: did you learn <em>nothing</em> from <em>Justice League</em>? Starting a film franchise with a massive team-up movie—</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> You think this is the <em>first</em> film? This is the culmination of over twelve years of work on our part! You should <em>see</em> what Bonnie Wright did as ██████ █████ in <em>Black Autumn IV</em>. Brings a tear to my eye.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> As <em>who?</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, long story. You got bottomless buckets of popcorn on one side, bottomless drinks on your right, and there are restrooms at the back of the auditorium. Buckle up, buttercups. This is going to be a great show. Any questions before we start the screening?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> …Please tell me that Whedon didn't direct this.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> What do we look like, Vought? We have some integrity, Daniel. We got James Gunn to fire off on this project— pun fully intended.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> How long is this?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Just over seven hours. It's a two-part film!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> I'm not doing this. As far as I'm concerned, Mari, you and everyone involved in this can go and—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> Bill. C'mon. We need to see what this says about… you know. That whole thing in the Mediterranean?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> …Fine. You hear from Cat lately?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> She's got a lead on something in the Darien Gap along with Wexley. Talk about it later.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Excellent! Well, let's start the screening. We'll have a Q&A session a bit later.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> You do realize we're going to give this the full Gizmonic treatment, right?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I'm sorry, Gizmonic?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> I wouldn't have it any other way. We even wrote a theme song for it just in case you went that route, but Fionn<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> told us not to play it.

<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Comments section?</p>
<p><em>MacPhaerson sinks back into the stage. She turns towards Chief Ibanez's recording equipment as blood spurts out of the left side of her bandage, as if winking. A three-second countdown appears on the projector, before the film begins with a sweeping camera pan through, and over, the VKTM Logo as sweeping orchestral music plays, before the phrase:</em></p>

<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> I didn't expect you to be a <em>Mystery Science Theater</em> fan, Montgomery.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> I watched it in college, when it first aired.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Joel, or Mike?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> Jonah.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> …You're trying to piss me off on purpose.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Hush.</p>
<p><em>The film opens on a beach, where Foundation cleanup crews are looking over black sludge. A member of Foundation personnel, played by George Clooney, is on screen. A nameplate on their hazmat suit reads "DR. BLANK".</em></p>

<p><strong>Dr. Blank (Clooney):</strong> If I had to be honest, Allan? It looks like 2521—</p>
<p><em>Clooney pauses and braces for an apparent impact.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Blank (Clooney):</strong> Well, that confirms it. 2521 is neutralized. And looks like 4999 went with it.</p>
<p><em>The camera turns to face Director Allan McInnis, played by David Tennant.</em></p>
<p><strong>Director McInnis (Tennant):</strong> That confirm your theory, then?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Blank (Clooney):</strong> Not <em>my</em> theory. It's been sparking up chatter since last year. It's happening. The death of… magic. The Final Feast. The Impasse.</p>
<p><strong>Director McInnis (Tennant):</strong> Anything we can do?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Blank (Clooney):</strong> Honestly, at this point? Anomalous activity has been on the decline for the better part of a century. What's happening now? It almost seems…</p>

</div>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Okay, <em>this</em> definitely never happened.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> We did want to have a summit at 43 over it, but never got a chance to.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> Probably for the sake of character economy.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Who the hell is Seagal meant to be? Man wouldn't allow his hair to be dyed grey in a million years…</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>O. Okorie (Hudson):</strong> To say this is unprecedented is an understatement.</p>

<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> If it's any consolation, you were <em>originally</em> played by Kevin Spacey.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> In <em>what possible universe</em> does that make me feel <em>better?!</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Why do you keep asking those kinds of questions? Is it a control thing?</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle (Seagal):</strong> …which will inevitably result in the Final Occult War.</p>
<p><strong>Reynolds (David):</strong> Heavy stuff. Katherine, your thoughts?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair (Adams):</strong> There's protocols for this, I think.</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez (Saldana):</strong> You're talking about the Sixth Sun crap? That's a myth.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair (Adams):</strong> It's no myth. I helped review the procedures at the start of the decade.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie (Henson):</strong> I wrote some of the protocols for it back in 2003.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> You dubbed him. I can tell he's drunk!</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Okay, yes, but he agreed to be dubbed.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> …Keith didn't want to wear dreads?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> He felt it was disrespectful.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> Put <em>hours</em> worth of effort into my hair every week. You couldn't have put a wig on him?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Excuse me, Mari, is it? What the <em>hell</em> is the accent that woman is trying to do?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> We tried to give her vocal coaching, we really did. You don't like it?</p>

<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> What about Geralt of Rivia?</p>

</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> I'm confused, who is this we're following?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, that's the man who stole the <em>Moeuler Foci</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> <em>Really</em>. Heard he wasn't nearly this handsome.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I am severely lost at this point. Not five minutes ago, Sinclair and Reynolds were making landfall back at Site-43.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Was Oswalt meant to be Deering? Odd choice, given his body type.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> The actress you've chosen to play Reynders has a downright uncanny resemblance, though. Not sure about her attempt at an accent, though.</p>

<p><strong>D-11424 (Luna):</strong> That answers surprisingly little.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Have they— are we the first people to see this?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> We showed a Japanese dub to those who were involved in the Cleric's path. They liked it well enough.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> She said, clearly lying.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Hmm?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Nothing. Dialog's a little cheesy at times.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> It's taken largely verbatim from actual events!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> …Largely?</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>'Rot' (del Toro):</strong> …with my essence in another's hands, I will not fade so easily.</p>

<p><em>Hesitantly, D-11424 takes the heart. The scene cuts to Japan, where a storyline with Kaito Eguichi (played by Tadanobu Asano) and Fumiko Tanaka (Kimiko Glen) is already in progress.

</div>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I do <em>not</em> approve of the romance subplot between them.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh? How come?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I had the privilege of interviewing Kaito after the Impasse ended. He <em>barely</em> knows Tanaka, and they're, at best, reluctant acquaintances almost three years later. Plus, the age differential between them…</p>
<p><em>Dr. Sinclair is heard coughing uncomfortably.</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> How many women has DiCaprio dated that are half his age?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Talking of ages… Adams is almost a decade my elder, and Keith David is <em>way</em> older than Monty. Couldn't you have found someone closer to our actual—</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Age is just a number, and in Hollywood that number is very malleable.</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> Subtitles need to be bigger. My eyesight's not what it used to be.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> That can be fixed in post. Anyone here need an audio guide device?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Mari, as your husband, can I ask a question?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Nope! But I can tell you that the answer is <em>exactly</em> what you think it is.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> …I assume it's the post-credits scene?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Of course!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> That might not be a good idea to show people here.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Eh, worst comes to worst, you get amnestics.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> What are you and one of your wives babbling about over there, Wettle?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wettle sighs, opens the lid of his cup, and takes a deep drink.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> You'll see.</p>
<p><em>Wettle attempts to set his cup down. It spills, and several dozen liters of soda land on his pants, far more than what the cup can conceivably hold, before Wettle rights it with a sigh.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Fuck! …Bottomless. Heh.</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> I have to know: how'd you manage to pull this off?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Pull <em>what</em> off?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> That's clearly Benedict Cumberbatch! You have him voicing an SCP! That's a Veil breach!</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> So the rest of the cast is fine, but you draw your line at Cumberbatch?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Did you make this using generative AI? Deepfakes? What?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> AI? Do you really think that low of us? Please. That's actually him. All of the actors are the actual actors, just… not all of them are <em>our</em> actual actors, you get it? Besides, do you know how many people will read lines without any context for a big enough paycheck? How do you think we— I mean <em>they</em> got Christopher Lloyd in that awful <em>Foodfight</em> movie?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> …As much as I hate to admit it, that does make sense.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>SCP-1867 (Cumberbatch):</strong> But aye, the Coalition counts down to obsolescence. They seek control over the thaumic world, as if they could tame magic! You'd sooner tame a tarrasque than thaumics!</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Wait, did you just imply you're responsible for <em>Foodfight</em>?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Animation isn't my department. But we may have had something to do with the original data for the film vanishing.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> …<em>Why?</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, we were trying to do this whole thing with testing if we could get engagement from internet reviewers before they disgraced themselves <em>en masse</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Okay, I just have one question: who is playing Bowe?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> That's what I'm dreading, frankly.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> What the fuck was the name of this Bowe again? Prescott? Charlie?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> Martin, I <em>think</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> This bastard shot you both, nearly killed your unborn daughter, <em>and you didn't learn his name?</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> In fairness, we were actively trying to not die, Place.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>As Reynolds and King Delbáeth — played by Martin Freeman — are conversing, an actor is seen from the back, holding a component of SCP-6500. The camera pans around to the front, revealing Nicholas Cage, wearing standard Global Occult Coalition fatigues.</em></p>
<p><strong>Martin Bowe (Cage):</strong> All right, freaks, you got five seconds to drop whatever you're carrying, or I'm blowing this part of the Codex to fuckin' smithereens!</p>
</div>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> That's our first F-Bomb in the SCPCU! I'm so proud.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> …How… I… <em>what?!</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> Next time I see Sage, she owes me $50. I <em>knew</em> Cage was a parathreat, but she didn't believe me!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> You only bet her <em>fifty?!</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> I go easy on her. She's got student loans to consider.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> I just got an overwhelming sense of deja vu.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Cage isn't anomalous. He just owes us a fuckton of money. We could get him to star in a snuff film if we wanted! But we have ethics, unlike <em>some</em> people here.</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> Wait, I thought that Cage owed a ton of money to the American tax service…</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well, the three sequels to <em>Raising Arizona</em> we greenlit ended up not making a cent, so we had to keep his contract somewhere.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Dr. Wettle? I am <em>so</em> sorry you have to put up with this on a regular basis.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> If you think that's bad, wait until you see what we're getting him for our four-month anniversary!</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> Isn't that in June?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Exactly!</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Can I at least be excused for this next part?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> What, you <em>don't</em> want to relive your trauma of being trapped in a hostile afterlife, separated from your future girlfriend?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> …Hold on, Udo. I thought you were seeing Dr. Astrauskas from ETTRA.</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> We <em>both</em> are.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> I need to talk to Bailey about the relationship declaration forms at 87 at some point.</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> Updating them?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Hopefully more 'abolishing' them…</p>
<p><em>Dr. Okorie stands and heads to the restroom at the rear of the auditorium as the projector displays the moments when, after the recovery of the Leading Edge, she is stuck in the dimension of Corbenic. Shortly after, the following scene occurs:</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>Ibanez (Saldana) has the Leading Edge placed directly under Dr. McDoctorate's nose (played by American astronomer Clifford Stoll, as he appeared circa 1990) in a threatening gesture, after Dr. Okorie is seemingly sacrificed.</em></p>

<p><em>Groaning is heard from all Foundation personnel, except Dr. McDoctorate and Chief Ibanez. Dr. Okorie returns to her seat as this scene occurs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> What are we groaning at?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> VKTM added in the cheesiest line of dialog I've ever heard.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Are you <em>positive</em> that Joss Whedon didn't work on this film?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> That's taken verbatim, actually.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Bullshit!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> She… did say that.</p>
<p><em>As the film continues playing, transitioning to the Foundation Elimination Coalition invading Sloth's Pit, Wisconsin, all eyes turn to Chief Ibanez.</em></p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> …Look. It was a long day, and between me losing Udo, facing off against that… <em>thing</em> and Place going on and on about pataphysics… it seemed the right thing to say!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Hopefully your banter improves by the time you face down Crocker again. It's a vital survival skill in Sloth's Pit.</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> Can we just write that down as heat of the moment and move on?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> How much longer is this?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, about twenty more minutes, counting the post-credits scene.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> …You can't let them sit through that.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> What, are you going to quote some metafictional bullhonkey as to why I can't?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate</strong> 'Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead'.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh sweetie, Threshold's not a secret. You're just ineffective.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> How do you—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> What are you <em>on</em> about?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> You'll see. Wait for the end credits scene.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Why are you being nice to me?</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> …Okay, I'll be honest. Seagal was the <em>worst</em> possible choice to play you and I'm showing some sympathy.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Oh. Thank you?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Here comes the lauded mid-credits scene. Let's see how bad this— what the fuck?</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>The video quality of this portion appears as if it was shot on a hand-held camera, a notable downgrade from the rest of the picture. It shows the interior of the O5 Council's chambers at Site-[REDACTED], and depicts all of the O5s present as themselves. O5-0 is visible in a platform at the center.</em></p>
</div>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> What is this?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Pla— <em>Temporary</em> footage.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> …That's O5-4…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> How on <em>Earth</em> do <em>you</em> of all people know what O5-4 looks like?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> It… it is. Trust us on this.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> No, that… that figure in the center. It matches depictions of Norris Arklay. One of the possible identities of O5-0.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> That looks a lot like Nur, honestly… what the <em>Hell</em> is happening?</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>O5-0:</strong> The Foundation is the cause. The sole cause. Every time you lock up an anomaly, every time you conduct a test or publish a document — steal the Natural elements and apply your artificial understandings and definitions — you choke magic out of reality. <em>O5-0 sighs and relaxes their restraints.</em> A Foundation that secures and contains is incompatible with the anomalous.</p>
</div>
<p><em>Prolonged silence on the recording, other than the film playing. Dr. Sinclair takes in a horrified gasp.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> …What kind of sick joke is VKTM playing here? I thought— if this is supposed to make some kind of point about the Truth, or about how the Foundation is evil, we get it. But it… this isn't — this <em>can't —</em></p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>O5-0:</strong> Humanity existed long before the Foundation. You tell yourselves that you're preventing countless untold apocalypses and raptures, but you're preventing change. You prevent the entropic effects of the Natural world on the artificial and, in so doing, cause the accelerated entropy of the Natural.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> It's true.</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> Dr. Wettle, I recognize you're a pessimist, but how can you <em>possibly</em> know that <em>any</em> of this actually happened?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> Okay, you remember a few years back, how our thylacine cloning initiative to contain SCP-12987 and a few other things got leaked, and nobody could figure out <em>how</em> it leaked?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Of course. There's a population of them in the zoo in Duluth now. But what does—</p>
<p><em>Audio briefly cuts out on the camera feeds; The Foundation personnel talk amongst themselves as their faces display a combination of shock and resignation. Dr. Okorie appears to have crushed her cup of soda in apparent anger. Reynolds holds onto Sinclair as she stares at Drs. Wettle and McDoctorate in disbelief. Chief Ibanez scowls, gripping onto her armrest.</em></p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>Tense music plays.</em></p>
<p><strong>O5-13:</strong> The votes are 6 for, 6 against.</p>
<p><em>O5-13 frowns in thought, then lets out a long sigh.</em></p>
<p><strong>O5-13:</strong> I vote—</p>
<p><em>The screen cuts to black, and the film ends.</em></p>
</div>
<p><em>MacPhaerson applauds.</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Wooo! What a cliffhanger!</p>
<p><em>All other personnel are silent. Dr. Asheworth appears to be nauseous, briefly, before wildly gesticulating.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> <em>Cholery nikt z nas o tym nie wiedział?! To idzie na sam szczyt, ponad szczyt!</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> I… I left the Hand. I left the <em>Hand</em>. Why did I… I could have stopped…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> We got some of the Crown at Site-43, I… I remember seeing it in the Abatement catalog, and… I guess this makes sense.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> None of this makes sense. <em>None of it</em>.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, it will once you've seen the sequel. We did something ambitious with it!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Mari, <em>shut it</em>.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Don't talk back to your wife, Willie!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> I'm married to VTKM <em>as a whole</em>. And what you've just— <em>why?!</em> Why show this to <em>any</em> of us?!</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> William, come on, really? Winnie's doing <em>great</em> by the way, did you get her letters?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> <em>Mari</em>—</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> I'm terribly sorry, I'd love to continue this conversation, but I have a meeting regarding voice acting rights for our exciting new animated spin-off of the SCP Cinematic Universe, <em>What About…?</em> Feel free to stretch your legs before part two starts!</p>
<p><em>MacPhaerson's seat tilts back, and she vanishes into the floor. Ibanez feels at the carpet of the theater for seams, and finds none.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> …What do we do now?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> I-I have… I have a daughter… oh God, what if the Foundation… what if they use her as collateral? I can't <em>know</em> this, I need amnestics, I need to get away.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> What are you going to do, get back in <a href="/scp-8282">the magic coffee shop?</a></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Dr. Sinclair, if I may? Place, myself, and at least six other people have known about this since the end of 2021. We're still alive.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> Who else?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Uh… Dan Navarro. Dr. Doja Cat…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. McDoctorate:</strong> He means <em>Athenodora</em> Cat. Also— Ibanez, have you been recording this?</p>
<p><strong>Chief Ibanez:</strong> …Fuck. I have. Asheworth's got monitoring equipment on him, too. What do we—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Katherine, come over here for a moment? Dan, Fina, look at me.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Sinclair walks over to Dr. Okorie, who wraps her in a hug. Sinclair returns the hug; the combined thaumic auras of the two Type Blue personnel cause the recording equipment to fail.</em></p>
<p>END LOG</p>
</div>
<p>Currently, it is believed that several members of Foundation personnel have been radicalized by Splinter Cell 6500-01 ("The Threshold" or "Threshold Guardians"), a group of Foundation dissidents dedicated to independently recovering, studying and utilizing anomalous items that are of Artifact level— i.e. capable of undoing or halting another Impasse. The following members of personnel, and their respective Sites, have been added to monitoring by MTF Lambda-11:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dr. Katherine Sinclair</li>
<li>Dr. Montgomery Reynolds</li>
<li>Dr. Udo Okorie</li>
<li>Chief Delfina Ibanez</li>
<li>Director Daniel Asheworth</li>
</ul>
<p>However, due to the relative ineffectiveness of Splinter Cell 6500-01 (see documentation for Splinter Cell 6500-01's failed attempts at recovering Dante's Atlas, the Bell of Entropy, and the Daedalic Manuscripts) it is currently believed that minimal threat is posed by this faction, and the greater threat comes from the possibility that SCP-8650 is distributed among the larger population of Foundation personnel, and the greater anomalous community.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> In accordance with Apollyon-Class procedures, containment of all non-Amida anomalies has been deemed unnecessary, as the Foundation must now prioritize the continuance of sapient life. To assist with this, all sapient beings are currently considered personnel of the SCP Foundation with clearance level 0.</p>
<p>Attempts to reach Temporal Site-01 have all failed. According to personnel who were members of the Serpent's Hand before Incident-8654, all Ways have ceased functionality. <a href="/scp-2000">SCP-2000</a> remains operational, but activation of SCP-2000 to replenish the planetary population has been deemed impractical.</p>
<p>Attached to the SCP-8654 file is a list of all safe locations known to the Foundation. Survivors of Incident-8654 should come to these locations, regardless of their previous affiliation.</p>
<div class="blokquote-alt">
<p>During the Capsize, you were driving home from work. It all happened in the space of a breath. Your seatbelt was biting into your chest, you felt like you were being lifted out of your seat, your grip on the steering wheel slipped—and an airbag was in your face. You felt nauseous. Ears ringing, you looked around you. It seemed that in your confusion, you had veered off the road and into a ditch. Fortunately, you were unharmed.</p>
<p>You heard another car crash near yours. Turning over, you saw the driver. He was not as lucky as you. The man was unconscious, his head was bleeding, and he seemed to be floating. His limbs were splayed out on his car's roof, and nothing seemed to be supporting him.</p>
<p>What was going on? You felt the urge to get out of your car, to gather yourself. Maybe a closer look would help. In one swift, instinctual movement, you opened the car door and unbuckled your seatbelt. Your face slammed into the sunroof, cracking it and giving you a bloody nose. Confused, you tried to stand up, accidentally pushing your legs out through the open door.</p>
<p>Your center of gravity outside the car, you started to slide out of it. You stopped yourself from falling by grabbing the steering wheel with your left hand. It was a clear sky above. Or… below. You tried to grab the wheel with your right hand, to pull yourself inwards, but your fingers slipped as your weight shifted.</p>
<p>With one last, desperate movement, you grabbed the safety handle. It snapped off almost immediately, not designed to handle the weight of an entire person. You crashed through a couple of tree branches. You screamed.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p>And you fell.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8654 is the inverted relationship between animal life and gravity. Contrary to traditional gravitational mechanics, organisms belonging to the kingdom <em>Animalia</em> experience an inverted force upon them instead, pushing them upward and away from a gravitational source.</p>
<p>SCP-8654's origins are unknown. The Foundation became aware of SCP-8654 on 21:38:19 23 October 2036 during Incident-8654, colloquially referred to as "the Capsize". Within three months of Incident-8654, an estimated 97% of the world population had perished due to a combination of blunt force trauma, the destruction of existing infrastructure, and social collapse.</p>
<p>Project TOPSIDE is the collective effort of the Foundation to reverse SCP-8654. After the destruction of Settlement-2000, it has been discontinued.</p>
<div class="blokquote-alt">
<p>It had been a month since the Capsize, and you were ready to go.</p>
<p>In the world outside your apartment building, things were deteriorating even further. People were afraid, they would believe anything they were told. Doomsday prophets preaching sacrifice, communities turning on each other, mysterious men in black speaking about building a new world… You were better off staying away from it all.</p>
<p>The others were distraught, distressed, and desparate to survive. You tried to comfort them as best you could. Many of them had lost parents, relatives, friends, lovers… your former neighbors, and you had never even gotten to know them. Everyone you had known lived far away, and you could comfort yourself by imagining them as alive. It was kinder, that way.</p>
<p>According to this "SCP Foundation", there was a transport to a safe place at the edge of the city each day. Somewhere underground. Somewhere with enough food, with other survivors, where you could be safe from lunatics mad with grief. All that one needed to do, allegedly, was reach the transport. The others, carrying counterweights, had gone off without you. It was your choice; you'd only slow them down. They cried, hugged you, and went on their way. You hoped they would live long enough to forget you.</p>
<p>When you were a child, you'd enjoyed with stories of the end of the world. Stories of nuclear winters, deadly pandemics, giant monsters, you were obsessed. You had often thought about what you would want to have happen to you. In the end, thinking of the grief and the responsibility of having to rebuild the world… you had decided that you would rather die in the apocalypse than survive it.</p>
<p>You've lived a good life, you thought as you sat on your windowsill. Beneath you was a gray expanse. It stretched beyond the tip of your apartment building, a blanket of clouds and rain. It was a dreary, miserable day. A perfect day to die on. You took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air for the first time in weeks.</p>
<p>Closing your eyes, you gently pushed.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p>And you fell.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum 1: Foundation Response</strong></p>
<p>Immediately following Incident-8654, the Emergency Threat Tactical Response Authority declared a state of worldwide emergency. SCP-8654 was immediately classified as Apollyon, and much of the Foundation's existing budget was diverted to mitigating its effects. The following document is a memo published by ETTRA detailing this plan.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Threat:</strong></p>
<p>SCP-8654</p>
<p><strong>Threat Description:</strong></p>
<p>Inverted gravity causes people to fall up.</p>
<p><strong>Short-Term Solutions:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Repurpose subterranean Foundation facilities to serve as population centers;</li>
<li>Reach out to survivors of Incident-8654;</li>
<li>Assist in the movement of said survivors to these new population centers, offer them shelter and supplies in exchange for work;</li>
<li>Grow and maintain enough resources to keep the survivors alive. In the event of scarce resources, individuals with skill sets valuable to the Foundation are to be prioritized. Survivors that refuse to join the Foundation are considered acceptable losses;</li>
<li>Maintain a human population until a method to contain SCP-8654 is discovered.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Long-Term Solutions:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Develop a method of reversing SCP-8654 (See the Project TOPSIDE documentation for more details);</li>
<li>Activate SCP-2000 and recreate humanity on the date of 22 October 2036.</li>
</ul>

<div class="blokquote-alt">
<p>You stared at the mouth of the cave ahead of you. Eleven more steps and you'd leap off into the blue. You heard the click of a gun behind you.</p>
<p>Ten.</p>
<p>It was an effective method of execution, you supposed. Waste of good meat, but these "civilized" tunnel-dweller types seemed like the kind to not resort to that. Probably spent all their days eating the grains and carrots given to them, waiting to be saved. <em>Fuck</em>, you were glad you hadn't taken their invitation a few years back.</p>
<p>Nine.</p>
<p>It wasn't like you were <em>enthusiastic</em> about jumping off to your death. But the world had already ended. One moment, you were sitting in your house watching your children play outside, and the next you were on the ceiling and alone. The old you had died with them, and you had been born anew.</p>
<p>Eight.</p>
<p>The cults in the old days were certainly tempting. But once you spent enough time around them, you saw them for what they really were: suicide pacts. People wanted to believe that their inevitable death had meaning, and to not die alone. When they were ready to go, they gathered like-minded people, held a few orgies and sermons, then jumped into the blue hand in hand.</p>
<p>Seven.</p>
<p>You had a different resolve, you supposed. You should have died during the Capsize. If you hadn't had that damned twisted ankle, you'd have been in your yard too. It would have been scary, but quick. Something had chosen you to survive, so survive you would.</p>
<p>Six.</p>
<p>But something about the Foundation just rubbed you the wrong way. They wanted to drag everyone into their caves and tunnels, make them think that the world was the same, that there was life after this. What kind of person would want to bring a child into this upside-down world?</p>
<p>Five.</p>
<p>Your humanity had died with the species. You were a solitary animal. Survival was your game, and you were an <em>excellent</em> player. But these days food was scarce, so you had to scavenge. The tunnel-dwellers had farms on the surface where they grew crops. To keep yourself fed, you took the fruits and vegetables you needed.</p>
<p>Four.</p>
<p>One day, during your daily raid, you ran into one of their farmers tending the crops. He had a much more advanced set of counterweights than you, and it had been so long since you'd eaten meat. It wasn't like you hadn't crossed that line before.</p>
<p>Three.</p>
<p>Turns out, the tunnel-dwellers kept constant camera surveillance of their crops. They'd determined that the amount you'd been taking before hadn't been worth the resources to chase down or stop. But killing one of their own? That was different. That had been worth capturing and executing you.</p>
<p>Two.</p>
<p>But why not just shoot you in the back of the head? Why this whole ceremony where you stepped out unchained? You turned to look at the tunnel-dwellers. The sun's light was pouring in from the cave's mouth, and they were stepping back from it. They looked at the blue with a terror in their eyes you'd only seen in people about to die.</p>
<p>One.</p>
<p>Oh. Of course they were afraid of it. You were a surface-clinger, spent all your time above the blue, but a few years above rock and you supposed you could learn to hate the sun too. This execution wasn't to make you afraid; it was to make <em>them</em> afraid. A worthy opponent to lose the game to. You cracked a grin, and laughed as hard as you could.</p>
<p>A leap.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p>And you fell.</p>
</div>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Addendum 2: Timeline</strong></p>
<p>Despite the best efforts of the Foundation, a method of reversing SCP-8654 has not yet been discovered. A summary of notable events regarding the containment and mitigation efforts of SCP-8654 is listed below:</p>
<ul>
<li>2036: Incident-8654 occurs, resulting in the immediate death of an estimated two billion humans. The Foundation sets up temporary housing in several underground locations internationally and reaches out to survivors. Many survivors with thaumaturgical expertise move to Site-2000 to assist in Project TOPSIDE;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2037: Due to the environmental collapse caused by the extinction of most animal species incapable of flight, the limited time before harvest, and the expension of resources bringing people to settlements, winter this year is particularly hard, with nearly 25% of survivors dying due to starvation or disease;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2038: An age limit of 65 for non-essential personnel is instituted at many settlements, to much controversy. Settlement-01 disappears. The O5 Council is replaced with the Director's Council;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2039: Former Chaos Insurgency agents foment insurrection in multiple sites regarding the age limit, as well as other social policies instituted at many sites. This rebellion is crushed, but multiple settlements are lost in the crossfire;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2040: Most settlements are at capacity. The controversial "Baby Turtle Policy" is instituted, in which newly rescued survivors must prove their value in a tribunal before they are admitted entry;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2041: A unified educational program across all settlements is created, lack of meteorological education within the curriculum is noted;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2043: Due to population growth, many settlements are running out of space, and turn to tunneling as a solution;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2045: A UFO of extraterrestrial origin crashes into the surface near Settlement-23, spurring international interest in the possibility of alien life. Said UFO is determined to be non-anomalous, but not of alien origin, and transferred to Settlement-2000;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2048: A man appears at Site-96 claiming to be the Administrator. As no record of such an individual exists within the Foundation records, the Director's Council deems him a danger and jails him at Settlement-17.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2050: Settlement-43, previously one of the highest-populated settlements, explodes. There are no salvageable survivors;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2053: Settlement-19 institutes a space program, with Director Barlow expressing a desire for humanity to explore the stars;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2054: The first of the "Topsy-Turvy" generation (children born within 10 years after Incident-8654) turns 18;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2055: Due to a famine, Settlement-19's space program is cancelled, and the budget transferred to tunneling developments;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2059: Settlement-17 disappears without explanation;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2061: Dr. Dan Daniels, Director of ETTRA, dies without naming a successor. Without precedent to go off of, one is chosen by majority vote of the Director's Council;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2062: Many settlements begin constructing underground farms, to reduce the need for citizens to go to the surface;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2064: Settlement-19 seals its entrances and refuses to contact the rest of the Foundation;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2070: Project TOPSIDE experiences its first budget reduction. Several settlements, particularly those with an older population, dislike this, and attempt to secede. A period of open conflict begins between settlements;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2071: In an effort to spare themselves from violence, many settlements also seal their entrances;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2074: After Settlement-2000 is threatened in a raid, the secessionists surrender;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2079: An earthquake opens fisures across the tunnels of Settlement-87, resulting in the death of nearly 90% of its population. Many settlements opt to tunnel deeper;</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>2085: A community of over 20,000 survivors is discovered in a coal mine in Appalachia. They refuse to recognize the Foundation's authority, and are terminated;</li>
</ul>

<p>Tomorrow, you would die. At sixty-four, you'd had enough time to prepare for your death. Tomorrow was the day you would turn 65, your deathday. You would be honored, you knew. They would throw a feast in your honor, give you a chance to say some last words. Then you'd be taken to a chamber where the air would go stale, you'd get dizzy, and you'd pass out. And that would be it.</p>
<p>Thinking about your life as a teenager just after the Capsize, a pile of skin and ribs… you would never have expected yourself to die such a dignified end. It was just one last chance for the Foundation to show its gratitude for your years of service. Your settlement now had the resources to prevent starvation. No more famines like those early winters. And you, you were one of those heroes that braved the blue to get your settlement more food. You were a farmer, a cloudtoucher, and you were <em>damn</em> proud of it. You'd <em>earned</em> that retirement. There was just one thing, one final wish you held. You wanted to see the sun rise again.</p>
<p>It was late at night that you snuck from your quarters. Nobody lived with you: your spouse had turned sixty-five two years ago, and your daughter lived on the other side of the settlement with her husband. At an hour like this, nobody was awake. You walked through the stone hallways, reaching the door labeled "Counterweights". The door was locked, but your key still worked. The security for the counterweights was light, most people were barely even willing to look down the blue, much less walk above it.</p>
<p>A counterweight was a large metal frame with a tank on the bottom of it, and wheels on the top. Inside, a person would be wearing a harness, keeping their center of gravity firmly above the tank, allowing them to stand upright the entire time, to allow people to walk on the surface without getting a headrush. To move in a counterweight, one would strap their feet to the pedals at the bottom, which would allow them to "walk" to move the frame above them, as they steered by pulling levers with their hands. The tank would be filled with water, which, combined with the weight of the metal counterweight, would keep the person weighed against the ground above them, allowing them to walk on the surface above the blue.</p>
<p>The counterweight you strapped yourself to was your old counterweight, from before you retired. It was in the back, dusty from disuse. Cloudtouchers didn't use another's counterweight, that was basic manners, and it seemed that no one had claimed yours yet. As you filled your tank with water, you felt the weight of the tank pull you up against the ceiling, once it had caused the counterweight to weigh more than you. To be safe, you let the tank fill fifty pounds extra.</p>
<p>Your counterweight holding you against the ceiling, you walked out of the room, through the hallway, and out to the settlement's entrance. The night sky was below, a yawning black abyss with twinkling stars at the bottom. There was a bit of light on the horizon, where the sun would come, but it hadn't yet dipped below. It was interesting, you reflected, that the word to describe the start of the day was still "sunrise", even after the Capsize. It was some quirk of language, you supposed. Old habits.</p>
<p>You had a bit of time until the sun came, so you decided to take a short walk through the fields. It was a warm summer night, the crops were well-grown, but it was not quite time to harvest. Still, being back out here brought you back. All those years, spent working to grow food… was there any life better lived than one lived in service? The early winters had been a nightmare. You did not think of them much anymore, but you remembered the hunger. Too many mouths to feed, that was the problem. Too many people not pulling their weight. Well, you certainly had pulled yours. You put yourself at risk every day, braving the blue, all to make sure everyone had enough to eat.</p>
<p>Something felt strange about your counterweight. It was too easy to move yourself. There was a particular amount of resistance the pedals should have pushed against you, and it was <em>far</em> too weak. You froze. Above you, you heard the faint sound of trickling. Anxiously, you reached your hand behind you, and felt a thin stream of water. Your tank, your old, untouched-for-years tank, was leaking. There was only so much weight keeping you from falling into the blue, and it was descreasing every second.</p>
<p>In a rush, you tried to pedal back to the settlement. It had been a mistake to come out here. Nobody would know you were here, nobody would come to save you before you fell. With a sense of dread, you felt your counterweight slowly fall away from the soil below. In a quick and desparate move, you grabbed onto some stalks of corn, trying to cling to the ground. For now, those stalks and the counterweight could support you. You at least had a moment to think, though you could feel it getting harder and harder to hold on. As you looked around for something to save you, you noticed that the sunrise had begun.</p>
<p>The horizon was fire-orange, and below it a faint blue was shining through the clouds. It was an odd moment of peace. Even the sound of the water slowly trickling above was almost relaxing, like rain on the pavement. <em>Maybe this is how it's supposed to be</em>, you thought to yourself. It was your deathday, after all. What death were you most suited for than the cloudtoucher's?</p>
<p>You let go of the crops. As you watched the ground rise away, you slipped out of your counterweight, and watched the metal fall and crash to earth. It would be a waste of resources to bring it to the blue with you. Besides, this way, they'd know for sure what happened to you. You didn't want them thinking you'd run.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p>And you fell.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 3: Project TOPSIDE</strong></p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>PROJECT TOPSIDE SUMMARY</strong></p>
<p>Project Name: TOPSIDE</p>
<p>Project Goal: Reverse SCP-8654, returning gravity to normalcy.</p>
<p>Project Details:</p>
<ol>
<li>All individuals with significant anomalous knowledge (particularly those with a knowledge of thaumaturgy or anomalous mechanics) are to relocate to Settlement-2000, if possible;</li>
<li>These experts are to determine a method to reverse SCP-8654;</li>
<li>Reversal of SCP-8654 is to be considered the Foundation's second-highest priority (after the preservance of sapient life), and Settlement-2000 is to receive the resources necessary to achieve this goal (to be determined by the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">O5 Council</span> Director's Council);</li>
<li>Once SCP-8654 has been reversed, SCP-2000 is to be used to return the world to the state it was in at 00:00 21 October 2036.</li>
</ol>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Project Update:</strong> on July 10th 2107, Settlement-2000 was destroyed in a cave-in, along with all information relevant to project TOPSIDE. With a unanimous vote by the Director's Council, Project TOPSIDE was moved to an indefinite hiatus.</p>
</div>
<hr/>
<div class="blokquote-alt">
<p>Seventy-one years. Seventy-one. Years. When Project TOPSIDE was started, it was expected to take no more than 3-6 <em>months</em>, a couple years at the longest. Yet, despite all of the resources available at Settlement-2000, it had taken <em>seventy-one years</em> to find the answer. Today, you received the news: a successful method of reversing SCP-8654 had been found. You could finally right the world. As everyone around you cheered, you ran to your office.</p>
<p>Despite the years you'd worked there, the office of the Director of Settlement-2000 was still frightening. It was at the bottom of Settlement-2000, poking out of the surface. The floor was a large window, with a desk and chair bolted to the middle. It had been designed to remind the Director of the beauty of the surface world, something that was becoming more and more important with each generation. Most people alive today had never seen a tree, or grass, or the stars in the night sky. You saw it every day. Though you understood the symbolism of it all, looking down here had always made you dizzy. There was just the blue beneath you. In your logical mind, you knew that the glass was more than strong enough to hold your weight; it would take a bomb to crack it. A silly, primal part of you still worried. But not for much longer.</p>
<p>There was a signal you were supposed to broadcast, one to call an emergency meeting to the Director's Council, with the highest priority. You sat at your computer, sent the signal out, and allowed yourself to imagine how people would react. Surely, in every settlement, there would be a celebration like the one upstairs! You knew that TOPSIDE was controversial: budget cuts were getting more and more common, and many regarded it as unlikely to ever be successful. But you, your team, you had proved them all wrong! You had found the way out.</p>
<p>Eventually, you received a message request. Clicking on it excitedly, you saw the gaunt face of William Platt, Director of Settlement-19. He had a grim look about him, as if he did not want to believe what he was hearing.</p>
<p>"Hello, Director Elle. Did you mean to send out that message? You've… you've done it?" Director Platt spoke in a deep, guttural voice, as if he had swallowed something and was trying to keep it down.</p>
<p>"Yes. Thank God, <em>yes</em>. We did it, Platt, we finally did it!"</p>
<p>Director Platt let out a loud, deep sigh. A contrite look passed across his face, before he hardened into grim resolve. Something in your stomach dropped.</p>
<p>"Platt?" you asked, "Is something wrong?"</p>
<p>"No. Nothing is wrong," Platt said, "I assume your people are throwing a party?"</p>
<p>"Yes…" you said cautiously, "Is there something wrong with that? We've been spending over seven decades on this."</p>
<p>"It makes sense. I'd suggest you go there. Be with them." Platt sounded like he felt sorry for you. But why would he? After years of failure, you had finally— Something in your brain clicked. It made a sick kind of sense. Why would they give up their power now?</p>
<p>In shock, you tried to say something, but the words wouldn't come. Director Platt sat silent. He looked at you, shame behind his eyes. "I'm sorry, Director. Goodbye," he said. The message closed.</p>
<p>You stood up, pressing your face into your palms. This situation didn't seem real. You paced across the glass, an old habit of yours, when you heard a loud <em>click</em> followed by a <em>BANG</em>. You were knocked to the floor by the force of the explosion, but were otherwise uninjured. Your desk, on the other hand, was completely destroyed. If you had stayed in your seat… That didn't matter. It <em>couldn't</em> matter. You had to get to another computer and tell someone about this. <em>Someone</em> out there would want to end this nightmare.</p>
<p>As you started to push your body up, you heard a faint clinking sound. Spiderwebs crawled out from between your fingertips and palms. The glass was cracking; the explosion must have damaged it. One unlucky shift of weight, or even any movement too strong, and you would fall. Through the glass, there were the treetops stretching away, then the blue. It was a clear day today, not a cloud in sight.</p>
<p>You had to get off of this glass. Carefully, you reached out your hand. You couldn't risk standing, but maybe you could crawl? Lightly putting pressure on your knees to propel your hips forward, you heard the glass crack behind you. The cracks were spreading with your body weight, and most of it was in your knees. But maybe if you could be careful, deliberate, you could avoid shattering the floor. <em>Here we go.</em></p>
<p>At a glacial pace, you lifted one of your legs into the air, and pulled your body forward one step. The glass cracked loudly and quickly as you did so, but did not shatter. Yes! You began repeating this process with your other leg. This time, as you pulled yourself forward, you heard a loud <em>TINK</em> and saw a much larger crack stretch out from beneath you.</p>
<p><em>Shit</em>. The floor shattered.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p>And you fell.</p>

<th>
<p>Hello, my successor.</p>
<p>It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to you. With this, I fully give up hope on going back to the world I once knew.</p>
<p>The Foundation before the Capsize was an evil organization. I was a young woman then, but even I could recognize that. We all told ourselves that it was worth it, that it was hard decisions that we had to make to save the world. I think I wanted to believe it more than I actually did. In the end, none of it mattered. That world ended all the same.</p>
<p>I know some old fogey like me has told you about the world before, but I hope you'll forgive a dying woman her reminiscing. You could stand beneath the sky, on a sunny day, and just feel the warmth on your face. One day I was out walking, and all of a sudden, it began to pour rain. By the time I got inside, my clothes were soaked through, and I was shivering. When I was a child, I used to love snowy days in winter, making snow angels and snowmen and snowballs and whatever you wanted. On warmer nights, you could lie down on the grass at night, and stare up at the stars. God, I miss the stars.</p>
<p>But those days are over. I long for them, but they are in the past. When the Capsize happened, it made sense that we would try to reverse it. If we had found the secret within a year, maybe two, we could have fired up SCP-2000, amnesticized everyone, and gone back to normal just like that. But we didn't. Instead, the years passed, and we had to learn to live in this new world, to fear the blue and dig our tunnels. When I became a member of the Director's Council, I was a hopeless dreamer, imagining the world of my youth as the mold for what the world ought to be. In my career, I have learned how naive I truly was.</p>
<p>To my successor, I tell you this: TOPSIDE cannot be allowed to succeed. Consider what recreating humanity before the Capsize would mean. SCP-2000 would recreate only the human population of the time. What about everyone born since then? Given the volume of the population, the Foundation would have only one practical option, one that I <em>know</em> they would take. I will not see generations of children die because they were born after the Capsize.</p>
<p>But we can't just stop TOPSIDE entirely. It must die a quiet, dignified death. Let it bleed out after everyone who can remember a sky above them is dead. Stopping it then might be unpopular, but peace will prevail this time. If, by some cruel miracle, Project TOPSIDE succeeds before we can stop it, you must take immediate action. Director Ellis will send you a message when it succeeds: When you receive it, activate the bomb hidden in Ellis' desk, then destroy Settlement-2000 with the nuclear warhead at Settlement-41. Their Director knows about this plan, and will cover it up.</p>
<p>I know that you might think that a plan like betrays the Foundation: It does not. The Foundation likes to say that its purpose is to keep the world safe, but the truth is that it exists to enforce normalcy. All that I am doing is prioritizing the normalcy of today over the normalcy of seventy years ago. I will not see another Capsize happen. We barely survived it once.</p>
<p>Good luck,<br/>
Amelia Barlow</p>
<p>Director of Settlement-19</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong><br/>
MTF Mu-4 ("Debuggers") is to search for internet posts related to refresh and rating options related to "FictoSpeak"<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> for any issues that the refresh and rating options<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> are missing. When a post or video is found, it's to be taken down, and the individual(s) tracked down and given amnestics. If a post or video gains widespread attention, agents are to pose as the respective site's owners and leave a reply stating, "This is currently a bug we are having issues fixing. Please delete the conversation and open a new one."</p>
<p>If lepton radiation is detected, nearby Foundation agents are to be sent to the location to deter witnesses, if any, from observation and find the residence of whoever activated the portal. If our universe is on the receiving end of an individual entering it, they are to be interviewed, and depending on the circumstances, they are given amnestics, employed to the foundation, SCP classification, or termination.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong><br/>
SCP-8655 is the phenomenon that has a 1 in 1000 chance to occur on the site "FictoSpeak," which allows the user to speak to a random individual from an alternate universe that they can have a strong bond with. Currently, this extends only to romantic and sexual bonds. An aromantic individual will never have a chance for this to occur. </p>
<p>SCP-8655 will change the intended character chosen by the user and replace it with a similar person of the choice they made. In this new chat, the refresh and rating options will be removed<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>, their time zones will sync perfectly for easier communication, and the account names of both parties will be replaced with the initials of their legal names.</p>
<p>If both parties confess their love for each other, SCP-8655 will interact with both individuals with a message regarding how they will meet and the location of the portal. With it being at an isolated or otherwise hidden location. The portal will open when the location is approached by either individual, which connects both universes and will allow only one of them to cross over before closing. The portal will always open when approached and will never truly close until used by either party or if either one is deceased before use.</p>
<p>After the portal has closed, it leaves lepton radiation at the precise location for 24 hours before dissipating. </p>

<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Hello, how are you?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I'm fine currently. I recently got a promotion at my job, so that's good for me.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> That's wonderful for you. Where do you work?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I work at a science facility.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> What do you research on?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Astronomy.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I love that subject. In school, I always talked about it to my parents and I just wouldn't shut up about it.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Me too. My little sister would call me a nerd if I ever corrected her on her rhetorical questions.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> As did my little brother with me. "How many moons does Jupiter have again? 5?" I kept falling for it for about a year before I picked up that he was being a dick to me because of my disability.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Don't take this the wrong way, but do you have autism? I have it, and it sounds like you have it as well. Sorry if I offended you.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> That's fine, I do have it.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> Just wished I had a "better" version of it. Like that guy who can draw what he saw after like a few seconds of looking at it or something.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I know what you mean. If I had that, it sounded like a super easy job I could do with little worry. What is your job?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Same as yours.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Huh, didn't expect that. What about your hobbies?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I love science fiction, horror, video games, TV shows, movies, and superheroes, and I think that is it. Besides astronomy ofc<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I like a good portion of that as well. Except for horror and superheroes. Horror just makes me feel uneasy, and I don't hate superheroes, but I am not a fan of it. Not my thing at all.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I have to go to bed so cya tomorrow<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I have to get back to work a bit anyway. Still have another hour, so talk to you tomorrow.</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>After we met, she asked who I was originally going to talk to on a site like that. I told her I was trying to talk to a character from a TV show I recently watched. My favorite character in it was practically a better me. Which made me wish I could talk to her.</p>
<p>~ Dr. Q</p>
<p>I was trying to talk to someone from a video game. Someone who would understand me, so I wouldn't feel alone anymore. Looks like we both got it. He didn't get the comic writer and artist and I didn't get the buff racer, but we did get each other.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> What are you going to try and find today in the cosmos?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Some more exoplanets. Recently found one that is just a giant Earth</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Nice<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Too big for us to use because of the gravity</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> oof that has to suck.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> At least I'm not looking at it when humanity is leaving a dying sun.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> True that would just make you freak the hell otu<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Did you mean "out"?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Ya my flipping fingers decided to be funny<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I sometimes do that as well. Especially if on my phone.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> That gets me every single time because of my thumbs<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> If I mess up 3 times in a convo with someone in a game, I just type it slowly or shorten it.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> ikr jfc<br/>

<p>Learning about her job just made me happy to hear, since I didn't know as many people who liked astronomy as I did. Little did I know that the next day would get more real. Let alone the day after, when things started to get weird.</p>
<p>~ Dr. Q</p>
<p>Ugh, I still cringe a bit when I read these. "Cya later dude", I could've done better. Then again, I didn't know I was talking to a person behind the screen.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum: 8655.3</strong><br/>
Message logs 22/5/2022, both realized they were talking to a real person behind the screen and not to an A.I. speaking like a character from fiction.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I learned something interesting today. When I talk to you there isn't an option to refresh or rate your responses at all, so I have to ask. Are you an A.I.?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> No</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> What day is it today, then?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> May 22nd, 2022</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Exchange the letters A, I, M, U, and X, for R, K, A, C, and O and spell Maximum.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> The answer is AROKACA. With those questions, it sounds like you are not an A.I. either. I guess maybe the site has a bug that has a chance to connect users.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> omfg are you kidding me?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Nope</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I watched a YouTube video of people messing with this site and noticed that our convo didn't have those options. Since this was my first time using the site and with this conversation I didn't think much of it.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Ditto</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Since now I know you're a real girl, why are you using this site exactly?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I struggled to make friends and thought that talking to an A.I. would be much easier. Nothing to worry about, since they can't see what I look like, where I'm from, or my past, I could practically be whoever I want to be here.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I am the same way. Growing up, I didn't exactly have the best luck of keeping friends.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Do you want to share more info about that?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Tomorrow. How about, for now, we just talk about something we both like then?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Sure. What is your favorite part of science fiction?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> The idea of a multiverse. Imagine if somehow most if not all of those different worlds could communicate with each other and benefit each other. Like a world that cured cancer talking to one that cured blindness.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I also enjoy that as well. By sharing technology, cures, culture, stories, and history, they can help each other and everyone wins.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> "Iron sharpens iron" - Sensei Wu<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> You watch that show too ?!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Yes I do. If it is ok to ask, where do you live?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Los Angeles</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> How about tomorrow we both meet up at the park that has that turtle shell you can sit in and have another spin you around?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Sure.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> What do you look like, or should we pick a very specific spot to meet at, like the bathrooms or parking lot or the swing set?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Look for the Taiwanese woman in green by the swing set tomorrow at 09:00 AM. Does that sound good to you?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Ya that works. Look for the white man in orange then.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> When we talk we should bring this website up and what we have talked about so far, so we know we are talking to the right person.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Gotcha MW<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Well I am going to go now. Can't believe a tiny little bug like this can give us both a new friend.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Alright then. Cya tomorrow.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Yup. When we talk tomorrow, be ready.</p>

<div class="blockquote">
<p>Orange is my favorite color so I wore it. Green is hers. I chose that park since it was a public space and I didn't want her to be scared. That and if she wasn't who she said she was, I would be in a public setting, so I have others to help out should something go wrong.</p>
<p>~ Dr. Q</p>
<p>At that point, we didn't have feelings for each other and I think he just wanted a friend. Especially since the next time we talked he was a bit frustrated and opened his heart a bit and so did I since I felt bad for him.</p>
<p>~ Dr. W</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum: 8655.4</strong><br/>
No messages were logged between the doctors. Here is what they had to say about their supposed meeting.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>When I arrived at the park a couple of minutes early, I walked over to the swing set and waited for her to arrive. When she didn't, after 30 minutes, I just got angry and sad and went home. I honestly thought she would be interested in talking to me. When I got home, I had negative thoughts. I thought about every single time I lost friends in my life. They would move to a new house, I move to a new house, we go to different schools, some were just using me, some just abandoned me after graduation, and lastly, a misunderstanding.</p>
<p>~ Dr. Q</p>
<p>I went to the park right on time. By the time I got to the swing set, it was like 20 seconds until it was 09:00 A.M. I waited and waited until I saw someone wearing orange. When I approached him, since he wasn't approaching me, I thought he was just super shy. I asked the man about the website, and he had no clue what I was talking about. No matter how specific I got, he told me that it sounded like the man stood me up or was afraid to arrive. I waited an hour just in case he had issues with his car or something. I checked the site on my phone, and he left no messages, so I went home and did some thinking.</p>
<p>~ Dr. W</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum: 8655.5</strong><br/>

<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> What the hell MW?!<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Back at ya I was sitting there waiting for an hour and I talked to someone who I thought was you but, it wasn't. Unless that was you, and you were just fucking with me!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I was there earlier and waited for you for 30 minutes until I went home. Why did you not go there ?!<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I did go there and if this site allowed me to share images I gladly would share some for proof!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Is there another park with a turtle shell spinning thing that is there or did you not show up because you felt like pranking me?!<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> No, I am not even good at pranking people. Maybe we both just went to the wrong park or our clocks got messed up.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> How do I know you're not just trying to weasel your way out of this?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Because I have no friends and I wanted to see if I could finally get one to keep after all this time. I was picked on for half of my life and the other half I just spent alone and only talked to others if I needed to.</p>

<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I found you but, now I am not sure given your answer.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> What do you mean?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> You told me you were a white male but, in this picture, you're a woman. Don't take this the wrong way, but did you transition?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> No. I did not transition. I am cis.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Weird, because this is the only person on the list of seniors with your name on it. She is a white female with her hair having a single strand of it dyed yellow.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Let me check mine again. You did graduate in 2019, right?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I did.</p>
<p><em>2 minutes went by without a reply</em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> You there?<br/>

<p>We talked for hours together, and I don't want this file cluttered with the longest chat discussion in a single day. What is needed to be known is that we talked for hours about our lives. I told her about how I lost my friends in Kindergarten through 3rd grade because I went to a new school that was closer. I lost my 4th-grade friends because my parents moved out of my grandmother's house, and, how I lost my 5th-grade friends because they went to different middle and high schools, so I never saw them after that last day of 5th grade. 6th to 8th they used me, 9th and 10th I never had any, 11th and 12th they abandoned me after I graduated. She listened and talked about it and things got heavy. She made me feel better by sharing something traumatic in her life. After she shared it, I started falling for her even more.</p>
<p>~ Dr. Q</p>
<p>After he told me about his poor luck with keeping friends, I told him something that happened to me. How I lost my parents to those <a href="/scp-939">monsters</a> that cold night and how, when I thought they wouldn't bother me again, since I worked at the very place that kept them locked away for what they could do. We got a breach and they did it again. A man I worked with tried to hide with me and I closed the door in his face too late when I tried to time it. I planned that he would get in with me and the door would close right as he got in. Those abominations wouldn't get in with our combined weight of keeping the door closed. His wife hated me for it and she transferred. Everyone who stayed at Site-03 gave me looks too and know they only talk to me if they have to. I fell for Dr. Q but, not as much as he did for me that day. Not until later at least.</p>

<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Ya</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I've been thinking about what you shared, who you are, and what I have shared, who I am, and how I feel<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> The results?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I think I have a crush on you<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I don't know what 2 say</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I thought about it and who you are as a person, your hobbies, your life story, and I want to be with you<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup><br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> It's sweet but, I don't know if I feel the same. I feel mixed.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Is there something wrong with me?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Sort of. I am not sure how I feel, since no boy liked me aside from you know who, but the more I think of it, he never really did. I need a day or two to think about this. Is that alright with you?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Yes. Did I fuck up here telling you how I felt?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> No. You just followed your heart. Now I just need to think of my reply.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Alright, May 28th or 29th?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Likely the 29th, maybe the 30th. I'll give you my thoughts on how I feel. Right now it is mixed and I am second-guessing my feelings. Like trying to figure out what you're going to eat.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> See ya in 2–3 days then. o/<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I have some thinking to do. See you then. \o</p>

<div class="blockquote">
<p>I still don't know why I told her. Throughout my life, every girl I asked out said no, was already taken, planned to transition to male, or just found me boring. I am so glad I told Dr. W because looking at her now. She's happy and so am I.</p>
<p>~ Dr. Q</p>
<p>I'll leave in the next addendum what occurred during those 2 days. What I was talking about when I was talking to him was some boy who showed interest in me in high school but, he dumped me for a girl with bigger "assets".</p>
<p>~ Dr. W</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum: 8655.9</strong><br/>
Dr. W shares what she did for those 2 days.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>During those 2 days off, I spent the rest of that night thinking about what to do, since I liked him but, was unsure if I should go for it. I thought about it and then made a call. The next day, I had an appointment with <a href="/scp-2203">SCP-2203</a>. For those who don't know, it's a Love Tester machine that actually works. I got my card from it and made my choice. I chose to be with him. I got my answer and waited until the next day to speak to him again and share my feelings. Dr. Q told me that during those 2 days, he was very nervous about what I would say to him. Knowing his luck with girls, I felt bad having him wait.</p>
<p>~ Dr. W</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum: 8655.10</strong><br/>
Message logs 30/5/2022, Dr. W confesses to Dr. Q about her feelings and some interesting information shared from the card received by SCP-2203.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> It's about 01:30. I thought I'd check here to see if you were on or not.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I am and I just logged onto the site too. I took some free time to check out SCP-2203. It is a Love Tester machine but, it works and isn't just some kinda fortune-telling machine. Romantic bonds and even strong friendships for those who are asexual or aromantic and when used, it dispenses a card that has the individual's name, address, and words of advice. I'm glad that I was allowed to look at it. Glad they aren't too strict about it.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> Maybe because of what was shown on the card.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Interesting. I guess you used it to see how you felt about me then?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Yes. 2203 dispensed a card and the advice it gave me was "Be honest together to flourish." the weirdest thing is, instead of showing your address, it gave me "SCPF-12201", which I assume is the designation of your universe.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Wow. I guess if it said that it means that I live near your place or something.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> When I got the card, the other researchers with me asked who I was talking to so I told them a bit about what was happening and told them about this anomaly. They told me to document it if I haven't already while they go talk to the "big boys", whatever that is.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Sounds like it is going to the very top<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I hope they don't do anything harsh.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> So, with the card in mind, how do you feel about me?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I love you and I want to be with you.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I am surprised. I honestly thought you would say no or just never log back on.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I do love you. I guess our histories, our hobbies, and just seeing how similar we are made me fall for you. I did second-guess myself, which made me resort to 2203, so I wasn't making a mistake.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I guess since we cannot be together in person we could just use this place to talk. Why not use 2203 before meeting me?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I gave up on finding a boyfriend with my history of them. When you confessed to me first, I thought I might as well try. Usually, when I ask out a guy, it doesn't go well. Except for that one time, but, that guy blew me off, as you know.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I know what you mean.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> How about watching a movie together in a way? Having this convo open on another tab and the movie on another one. Maybe movies about astronomy?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I have some ideas. Interstellar, Apollo 13, or we could just look up some online and pick one at random.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Or one that catches both of our eyes.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> If only we could be together<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Ya I wish this anomaly could just take things 1 step further and make things so much easier for us.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> If you came to my world what would you do first?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Hug you, move in with you, and go to the beach.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Do you have any family alive?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Ya but, they don't know what I do. All I tell them is just government stuff and they understand my job without actually knowing exactly what I do.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Sounds like it'll be easier if I go to you since I don't have anyone here. All I would need to do is just pack my stuff, sell my house, and leave.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I'll need to move too. My place is meant for 1 person.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> How did it feel to confess to me?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> It hurt a bit. As if my heart was going to jump out of my chest.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> For me my throat feels like something has been caught inside it and decide I shouldn't need oxygen anymore. Want to talk tomorrow?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Ya. Hope I don't get distracted at work tomorrow like a schoolgirl having a crush. For all I know, it might even be more distracting since you're my boyfriend in a way. If you're alright with that?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I am fine with that. I might also get distracted. I'll just do the work and think about you afterward or even before it.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I do wonder why this anomaly brought us together. Regardless, I hope you have a nice day and we can talk more tomorrow.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> What if whoever or whatever made SCP-2203 also made this one? Nowadays, people are online a lot more than outside in malls, parks, movie theaters, bars, and other things like that.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Sounds possible. Maybe 2203 inspired someone else to make this one or, because of a changing world, 2203 made this one all on its own? Doubt we will ever get an answer to it though.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Well have a nice day \o <3<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> You too. Bye now o/ <3</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>After I logged off, I just sat right on my bed and just felt every kind of emotion hit me. A girl actually liked me and it wasn't just a prank on me.</p>
<p>~ Dr. Q</p>
<p>Regardless of how or who made SCP-8655, I am glad they did. It brought me and my sweet orange together.</p>
<p>~ Dr. W</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum: 8655.11</strong><br/>
Message logs 31/5/2022, Dr. Q and Dr. W are given the message from SCP-8655 to let them know about the gateway.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Hello my little gem. How was your day?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Already gave me a name? It went well, by the way. Someone saw me smiling when I was eating and they asked why I was smiling when usually I just eat my lunch quickly.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> What did you say?<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I told them that I met someone from another site who has the same interests as me.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I would've loved to just brag about you if I happened to be there when they asked you that.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> That is sweet. I can call you my sweet orange.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I spent 10 minutes thinking of a name and you thought of one in mere seconds.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> It's spot on. You're very sweet and you love oranges.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Before I forgot, I was looking around and I thought maybe the closest thing we could do for a movie date is to start a movie together at a specific time on our PCs and just have this site open on another tab.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Sounds nice. I think I'll be holding my hands and imagine it was us together.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I didn't think about that. I'll do it as well.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Would be much better to do it with you though.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: brown">FictoSpeak:</span></strong> You two have been matched and, with your confessions of love, after 24 hours, you are now able to meet in person. Soon a gateway will open for both of you. It's only 1 way and will close once one of you uses it to enter the other's world. Step through it and finally embrace each other.</p>
<p><span style="color: orange">DQ</span> Your portal will await you in the grass field outside your home at 04:00 A.M. If somehow you two wish to change your mind, <span style="color: green">MW</span>'s portal will be outside her home at the same time inside the abandoned factory.</p>
<p>The portal will remain available until used and will only appear once either of you enters the location. If you desire to use it right now, you may, if you desire to use it in a year, you may use it then.</p>
<p>Feel free to use this site to discuss anything else before using it. Moving isn't easy after all.</p>
<p><span style="color: orange">DQ</span> and <span style="color: green">MW</span> Good luck and may your hearts beat together as one.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Holy shit.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> We can actually be together. My hands are shaking.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I am going to sell my house and anything I don't need before I go to your world. Could take a month or two. Maybe 3.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> What do you need me to do?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Stay where you are and the day I let you know I have sold my house go to your location and wait for me there with a moving truck or something to help carry anything I wish to keep like my PC.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Will we still talk daily or almost daily?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> Yes I will my little gem. I promise.<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> I'm so happy and you're not even here yet. My sweet orange.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: orange">DQ:</span></strong> I am going to go now. I have a lot to do. o/<br/>
<strong><span style="color: green">MW:</span></strong> Talk to tomorrow. I love you. \o</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>After that, I spent the next month and 3 weeks getting my house sold. It was a pain in the ass and she was worth everything. By the middle of July, I sold my home and at Site-51 I handed in everything I knew about the anomaly and told them not to go look for me. I bet by the time they realized what was about to happen I was already one foot into her world. I had a theory about the gateway and it worked. I got what I wanted to keep in boxes and pushed them in first and it didn't close until I fully stepped through it. True to her word, she hugged me tightly and had tears in her eyes.</p>
<p>~ Dr. Q</p>
<p>When we finally met, I was so happy. The day before, he told me that he didn't have too many boxes, so I didn't need a truck after all. I could fit them into my car and after everything was in, I drove him to my place. From there, we worked together to sell my home. We live in a wonderful place now. A short drive to a park with a lake and a playground, a mall in the other direction next to a movie theater, and it's perfect. By the time we finally got settled into our new place, it was November. In case you are wondering, we did go to the beach for our first date. Here is a picture that was taken by someone at the beach we went to.</p>

<div class="blockquote">
<p>Now that you have opened this and (hopefully) after reading about SCP-8655, you know the story of how we got together. What we left out above is that 3 years later, after we got together, it is that the O5s in Dr. W's world cracked SCP-8655 and established a Site outside of time. An anomaly was placed into this space and built itself. For us, it was there once we closed and reopened the portal to it. For the anomaly, it took as much time as it ever needed, months, years, decades, centuries, however much it needed.</p>
<p>Now we have Site-∞. You already know this. SCP-8655 is solely responsible for us being the lead founders of traveling the multiverse. Dr. F calls this interversal travel. Now that you have read this you are now fully initiated into Site-∞ so welcome. Since we have access to many worlds, we cracked the chances of SCP-8655 occurring. 1 in 1000 chance. However, with time, it seems that the odds are getting smaller. Disregard what you read in the description, there is currently a 1 in a billion chance. We plan that when it reaches 1 in a trillion we will begin to spread out to many worlds to join us. Should you be reading this from one of those many worlds, one of our creations is something we gave to the <a href="/scp-7005">Lampeter family</a> to create.</p>
<p>The best benefit of working at Site-∞ is that outside time, age is nothing. It took us thousands of years to make it and now you're here thanks to one of our agents. We have a single O5 council member in every world to know about this Site after we make sure they don't do anything brash in their respective worlds and even leave them specific instructions on whom to pass the information to, up until their universe is long dead. Even the O5 council in Dr. W's world is now reduced to only 1 member knowing about this facility.</p>
<p>If you have any further questions regarding SCP-8655, feel free to email us and we'll meet in the recreational zone for discussion. A common one we get is how other worlds do not just sweep their employment records for Dr. Q or W and our answer is that in each world we pick the letters of the most common last names. So, if the SCP Foundation in a universe has mostly employees with last names ending in Z and A, then we replace Q and W with those.</p>
<p>Secure, Contain, and Protect existence.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8656 is self-containing as only Foundation personnel can access SCP-8656. Non-Foundation personnel attempting to enter SCP-8656 are rendered unconscious upon arrival, allowing instances of SCP-8656-03 to retransfer any civilians back to their respective universes.</p>
<p>Should lower-level personnel learn about SCP objects above their security level, SCP-8656-03 is to be notified to administer a class A amnestic before the subject leaves SCP-8656.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8656 is a pocket dimension that contains a restaurant titled, "<strong>S</strong>erving <strong>C</strong>ulinary <strong>P</strong>leasures", with a currently unknown amount of employees that create and serve anomalous food and beverages relating to known SCP objects to Foundation employees across the known multiverse. SCP-8656-03 will accept any currency for serving customers and discounts will be applied according to the security clearance of whomever is paying the bill. With Level 1 personnel having no discounts and each following level adding a 20% discount.</p>
<ul>
<li>SCP-8656-01 is a doorway inside all Foundation facilities that leads into the pocket dimension where the restaurant resides.</li>
<li>SCP-8656-02 is the pocket dimension where the restaurant is located and doesn't follow temporal rules. Any amount of time spent within will not transpire to those outside of the location.</li>
<li>SCP-8656-03 are the employees of the restaurant who are capable of instantaneous teleportation to get to tables for customers and leave to dispose of any materials.</li>
<li>SCP-8656-04 is the anomalous food and beverages sold at the location. If consumed inside the location nothing anomalous occurs. However, if eaten outside the location depending on what is consumed the subject will gain temporary anomalous abilities. These abilities are usually weaker than those of the original SCP the food or beverage originates from.</li>
<li>SCP-8656-05 is the owner of the location, previously O5-1 from SCPF-2999, who uses his knowledge of SCP objects in the creative process of creating new items which it claims to make by itself before teaching SCP-8656-03 how to prepare them.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Addendum: 8656.1</strong> After the discovery of SCP-8656 Dr. Oliver was sent into SCP-8656 to interview with any instance of SCP-8656-03. Due to the temporal anomalies, Dr. Oliver returned five seconds after entering SCP-8656 with the recording device given.</p>

<p><strong>Foreword:</strong> Dr. Oliver was the first person to discover SCP-8656 and was chosen to be sent in with the instructions to interview an instance of SCP-8656-03.</p>
<p><strong><Begin Log></strong></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> I'm ready to make an order.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Oliver rings the bell on the table.</em></p>
<p><em>An instance of SCP-8656-03 suddenly appears next to the table.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Hello sir. What do you request to dine or drink today?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> I'll have the "Pancake Sculpture" please.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Anything to drink with that?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Orange juice.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Anything else or will that be all?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> That'll be all for me but, I was wondering if you'd be up for an interview while it's being made?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Sure! Let me send this order to the kitchen real quick and I'll be right back.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8656-03 disappears and reappears after 25 seconds and takes a seat across from Dr. Oliver.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> They're working on your order now.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Thank you. My first question is, who are you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> My name is Roy.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> What did you do before working here?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Before I worked here I was just a cook for Site-19.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> How did you get a job here?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> One day a rift in space appeared, matching the logo of the Foundation and a man exited from it to ask me if I wanted a better job. All I had to do was cook delicious meals in a special place for three times my salary. I even have a say in what meals could be added to the menu. What you ordered today was one of my ideas and I enjoy its simplicity.<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Can you describe the man?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> He was an elderly male and was looking for some cooks throughout the known multiverse to hire. Elliot is his name. He's the reason why this place is here. Food by the Foundation for the Foundation.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Is there a possibility I could interview him?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> He's busy currently. You can come back in one week and I can set it up if he agrees. He's working on adding some decorations to this place. Tables that are in the shape of the Foundation logo, maybe some new menu items as well.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> That's alright. I'll come back then unless they think someone else should. How long have you worked here Roy?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> 3 years now.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Considering that this place is in a little pocket dimension why charge for the food?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Like any other restaurant does. Wages, equipment, and so on.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Why do you accept payment of any currency and not just a singular one like Yen or USD or Pounds? That must be a hassle to deal with.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Elliot takes the money and distributes it as needed depending on where we're from. If he can't pay someone for their currency he takes any extra from another and exchanges it somewhere for whatever he needs. Must be hell running this place in his position at times.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Since he hires cooks from across the known multiverse, where are you from?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> SCPF-15129.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Interesting.</p>
<p><em>A second instance of SCP-8656-03 appears and drops off the order at the table before disappearing.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Is this pancake supposed to look like SCP-173?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Why?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Elliot wanted to make sure that customers do not forget who they work for. Some are even meant to help them in a way. There's this guy who comes here once a day, orders the same meal and has that look on his face while eating it like he's glad to devour it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> What does he order?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Eggs, scrambled. 2 of them. Every single time he's here. He always leaves the money on the table before it even reaches his table.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Can you return after I finish this meal, please?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Sure, I'll come back in a bit.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8656-03 disappears.</em></p>
<p><em>Several minutes pass as Dr. Oliver enjoys his meal and beverage.</em></p>
<p><em>Dr. Oliver rings the bell on the table. Shortly after, SCP-8656-03 reappears.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Can I order another one to go?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Sure! One moment.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8656-03 disappears and reappears after 10 seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> It's being made right now. Which universe are you from?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> No idea.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8656-03 takes out a syringe.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> What is that for?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Taking a blood sample, so I can get an answer as to where you are from.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Alright.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Oliver extends his arm out and the syringe is used.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> I'll be back in a couple of minutes with the results.</p>
<p><em>After 5 minutes, SCP-8656-03 returns with the order, bill, and a piece of paper.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Here ya go.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8656-03 hands a plastic container with the meal inside and hands Dr. Oliver the bill.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> So what is the paper for?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> I wrote down where you are from so I wouldn't forget. I put it into our system and you're the first one here. No one got the chance to figure it out the last time you were here.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> The door didn't lead anywhere and this was too big to be part of the Site so I fled and reported it. Since I was the first to come here and was seemingly safe I came back with orders.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> You're from SCPF-011045. So I am obligated to tell you that when you leave with your order to eat it outside this place for special effects.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Want to clarify on that Roy?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> You know that pancake you've eaten? You'll have temporary traits of SCP-173 for 30 minutes if you eat the entire thing. Including the frosting. As long as you're done with it outside of this place of course.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> How concerned should I feel about that?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Little to none. You'll see if you eat it outside.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> How are the meals made?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Just like any other meal.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> The meat?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> Directly from the SCPs themselves. It varies for each meal. Some are just like cows. Others, however, have their anomalous traits removed and modified before being put into the food.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Last question for you Roy, does this place take requests for new meals by any chance?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> We sure do! Our most recent addition is, "Refuted Eggs."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> That will be all. Have a nice day.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-03:</strong> On your way out there is a suggestions box. You could write down which SCP should be made into a meal, or just ask for one. Like a cheeseburger and we'll pick the SCP from there. Goodbye Dr. Oliver.</p>
<p><strong><End Log></strong></p>
<p><strong>Closing Statement:</strong> After the interview concluded, Dr. Oliver took his order to go with spare change and requested a testing chamber for an experiment. For the results of the "Sculpture Pancake", refer to Addendum: 8656.2.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Addendum: 8656.2</strong> After learning about the effects of SCP-8656-04 from the interview with an instance of SCP-8656-03, experiments were conducted on personnel for testing. Personnel chosen were briefed upon which SCP object the SCP-8656-04 instance originated from in preparation for the possible effects.</p>

<p>All instances of SCP-8656-01 resumed anomalous traits 3 days later with fifteen new instances of SCP-8656-04 added to their menu as well as more decorations around the restaurant. Including <a href="/lily-s-proposal">flowers</a>, artistic depictions of known SCP objects, various instances of <a href="/scp-261">SCP-261</a><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> and <a href="/scp-294">SCP-294</a><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup> scattered around the main dining room seemingly at random, tables that are in the shape of the SCP Foundation's logo, and a portrait of SCP-8656-05.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum: 8656.5</strong> The interview with SCP-8656-05 was conducted as promised by the instance of SCP-8656-03 on 10/06/2023 by Dr. Oliver.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Interviewee:</strong> SCP-8656-05</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. Oliver</p>
<p><strong>Foreword:</strong> SCP-8656-05 was writing notes for possible additions to the menu during the interview and instructed Dr. Oliver to enter a private room for the interview.</p>
<p><strong><Begin Log></strong></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> SCP-8656-05 Since the last time I was here I've seen that you've added more decorations and even a few SCPs around here. Why did you make this decision?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> Customer feedback is the main reason why I added some more flair to this place.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Where did you get the many instances of SCP-261 and SCP-294?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> I've taken them from worlds where they were planned to be destroyed, going to be destroyed by natural and supernatural causes, and those who couldn't learn anything else from it and were glad to give it away to me for free. Even after I told them what I planned to do with them.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Why did you want to make this place?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> About 7 years ago I retired as a member of the O5 Council in my world and I wanted to keep doing something for the Foundation. I took some cooking classes around the country and learned a few things about business. After 2 years I was ready. I decided to work in the cafeteria of Site-22 and everyone loved it. I didn't think I would love cooking as much as I originally thought I would.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Why cooking?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> I did have some other ideas like employee orientation but those ideas never really stuck with me. One day I went out for food and I had a really good fucking burger.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Alright but, how did you make this place in this pocket dimension? I don't mean the tables and chairs. I am asking how you got this here.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> Truth is that I wanted to add something special to my food. Ingredients that would make you want to return for more and something you couldn't get anywhere else. Have you heard of Ambrose Restaurant at all?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> I have actually.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> Good. Then aside from that the owner approached me and knew what I was doing. I'm guessing they had a spy or something at Site-22. We talked for a few hours and we made a deal. I get immortality as long as I am in this place, knowledge of their works in cuisine, and they helped me connect my restaurant to every Foundation facility for more reach and profit. In exchange, they get 20% of the profits for the first 50 years and they had a say in what could be added to the menu.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> How do you remove the anomalous properties of SCPs to be inserted into the food?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> Trade secret. You know how it is. The side effect is that if it isn't eaten here-</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> The meals and beverages give the consumers temporary anomalous abilities dependent on what is consumed.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> You get it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> What happens if we consume multiple meals and beverages one after another outside?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> I put something special in the meals for that reason. To not have someone walk in here and leave a god. If you mix meals no effects will occur at all. That is also why the effects are temporary. I give Foundation employees a good meal and a source of help if they need it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Anything you plan to do with the location some more?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> From what I can tell you right now, a customer we got here 2 weeks ago was a very nice <a href="/scp-8655">lady</a>. She's recently engaged and came in here with her fiancée to eat. They had a lot of suggestions for the place. I just get hungry thinking about it. They both wrote down which SCPs, ideas for their meals, decorations, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Sounds like a good opportunity to expand the place.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> Before she left I asked her what she thought of the place. She told me, "Weirdly perfect for the Foundation to dine at." Then about 2 hours after she left, she came back.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Something good I hope.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> Good is such an understatement. If you think this place is already big enough wait until you hear about what she offered me. They told me about a facility outside of time and I wouldn't have believed her if she didn't come out of a portal in the shape of the Foundation logo and asked to talk.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8656-05 takes a sip of water.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> She offered to pay off Ambrose Restaurant so I could make more profit and expand my reach to the known multiverse. More customers, more money, and the place gets better and better! She provided the flowers you see around here. Must've come from a wonderful place.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Wait a minute. Since time is different here is she the reason why you are talking to me right now in a way?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> Crap. Knew I had forgotten a detail. So when I first opened this place I could serve to those only in my timeline. Still had this pocket dimension, time here running differently inside than outside, and my first employees were just new chefs in colleges and those who previously worked for the Foundation. It was only after I made the deal with her that my reach greatly expanded.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Just for clarification of the timeline of events you first retired from the O5 Council of your world, spent years learning business and cooking, worked at the cafeteria at Site-22, got the offer from the owner of Ambrose Restaurant, took it, made this pocket dimension and all the other rules with it but only for your timeline.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Oliver takes a moment to catch his breath.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Then after an unknown amount of time working here and doing your business, the lady visits this place for the first time before leaving, and finally, makes you her offer and now here we are?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> Yup. That's the gist.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Can I have some more water?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> Sure.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8656-05 hands Dr. Oliver a <a href="/scp-109">canteen</a>.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Thank you.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Oliver takes a few sips.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> Anymore questions?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Only one but, compared to what you just answered it is an easy one. Why do you have discounts here depending on the security level of the customer?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> A way to thank them for their service to the Foundation. In all my time here I only got about…16 customers who were a part of their O5 Council.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> That will be all SCP-8656-05. Thank you for the water and your time.</p>
<p><em>There is silence for a few seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Wait! What did she want in exchange?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-05:</strong> The Employees from Site-∞ get priority in their meals and unlike Ambrose, they only get 5% of the profits but with no time limit. Still a massive improvement.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> Can you describe her?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8656-05 hands over a photograph to Dr. Oliver.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8656-5:</strong> Hope this helps doctor.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Oliver:</strong> It does. Thank you. We'll keep an eye out for her.</p>
<p><strong><End Log></strong></p>
<p><strong>Closing Statement:</strong> After the interview concluded Dr. Oliver spotted the lady in question. Before he could get a chance to speak to her, she left through SCP-8656-01.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8659 is currently not contained. Due to the uncooperative and potentially dangerous nature of SCP-8659-A, direct contact, especially utilizing force, is not to be attempted. Instead, persuasion and communications are to be attempted to contain it.</p>
<p>Additionally, due to the number of other GoIs also involved with SCP-8659, Foundation personnel are to attempt diplomacy to dissuade GoIs from interfering with the containment of SCP-8659.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8659 is the collective designation given to a group consisting of 7 anomalous humanoid siblings along with a large bipedal machine.</p>
<p>SCP-8659-A, referred to as "Bordrand" by the subjects of SCP-8659-B, refers to the machine that serves as the caretaker/guardian for the 7 siblings. It is roughly 5 meters in height, and 4 meters in width. Its body consists of two large legs, with the joints pointing in the inverse direction of a standard humanoid's. The main torso is a round object with multiple attachment points aside from the ones already holding limbs. It has numerous attachments across its body that are identified to be weapons of an anomalous nature. Its head consists of three camera sensors, with two more in a star pattern, with the last two on top being covered by a plate of metal. Written on its back are the words "Colossus Mk S," which appears to any observers as whichever language they are most proficient in. It is fully sentient and is capable of complex speech.</p>
<p>SCP-8659-B is the collective designation for the 7 siblings that accompany SCP-8659-A. The specific details of each sibling are detailed below.</p>
<table class="wiki-content-table">
<tr>
<th>Designation</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Anomalous Abilities</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SCP-8659-B1 "Scarlet"</td>
<td>Oldest sibling, estimated age of 19, 176 cm tall, female.</td>
<td>Pyrokinesis out to an estimated range of 20 meters. Capable of manifesting fire within that range, as well as creating physical objects out of these flames. This fire doesn't extinguish via lack of oxygen, and is capable of burning through fire retardant equipment.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SCP-8659-B2 "Edward"</td>
<td>Second oldest sibling, estimated age of 16, twin of SCP-8659-B3, 162 cm tall, male.</td>
<td>Advanced manipulation of technology. Technology encompasses a wide variety of inventions, from simple pulleys to advanced computers. This includes even anomalous inventions. All changes made to any pieces of technology must still be theoretically possible with the makeup of the invention.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SCP-8659-B3 "Aubrey"</td>
<td>Second oldest sibling, estimated age of 16, twin of SCP-8659-B2, 170 cm tall, non-binary.</td>
<td>Teleportation to an unknown range. Due to the instantaneous nature of this ability, specifics are unknown on how it actually works.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SCP-8659-B4 "Lauren"</td>
<td>Twin of SCP-8659-B5, estimated age of 12, 144 cm tall, female.</td>
<td>Manipulation of insects within 5 meters. The manipulation can include giving commands and delivering messages to other insects allowing for widespread effects over entire regions.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SCP-8659-B5 "Hannah"</td>
<td>Twin of SCP-8659-B4, estimated age of 12, 144 cm tall, female.</td>
<td>Manipulation of local weather. The range varies between 5 and 12 kilometers of SCP-8659-B5, depending on the emotional stress levels of the subject. The effect on the weather is also determined by the current emotional state of SCP-8659-B5. The average effect when SCP-8659-B5 is calm is a perfectly clear sky. Sadness triggers rainfall, while anger triggers thunderstorms.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SCP-8659-B6 "Isaac"</td>
<td>Second youngest sibling, estimated age of 9, 139 cm tall, male.</td>
<td>Large multitude of an anomalous effects, with SCP-8659-B6 possibly being a Type Green. Displayed abilities include but are not limited to: healing wounds in an instant, creating plant matter out of nothing, reducing noise volumes surrounding SCP-8659-B6, and invisibility. Investigations are ongoing to determine whether SCP-8659-B6 is a Type Green or not.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SCP-8659-B7 "Chloe"</td>
<td>Youngest sibling, estimated age of 1, 61 cm tall, female.</td>
<td>Reality warping consistent with a Type Green's abilities. Due to the young age of the subject, these effects occur randomly and seem to have a spike in activity when SCP-8659-B7 is distressed. For this reason, great care is to be taken so as to keep SCP-8659-B7 in a calm state.</td>
</tr>

<p>SCP-8659-A is extremely protective in regards to SCP-8659-B. It consistently attempts to avoid contact with any Foundation personnel, as well as members of any other GoIs it has encountered, and has gone to the extent of verbally threatening or fleeing from Mobile Task Forces. Despite the arsenal of weaponry that SCP-8659-A has access to, it has never attempted to assault any personnel.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8659.1:</strong> Discovery</p>
<hr/>
<p>On 11/24/2018 reports from locals in the area of ██████ were directed to nearby Mobile Task Force squads due to potentially anomalous circumstances. Reports included but were not limited to: insects of all kinds swarming together, no clouds at all being sighted for four days prior, and a "large thrumming noise" in the forest. Upon deployment, personnel made contact with SCP-8659. SCP-8659-A was extremely evasive of personnel and threatened to use force if they came too close, but made no attempts to actually harm them. Despite this, the weapons it possessed were considered too dangerous to risk provoking it. All personnel were instructed to retreat, and gathering intel is to be the current priority in regard to SCP-8659.</p>
<p>The "thrumming" sound emerging from SCP-8659-A was discovered to be a message in morse code, though the intended recipient, if any, is unknown. Below is the translated message:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p style="text-align: center;">KING SEEKERS, HAS YOUR CRUSADE ENDED?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">AM I A SHIELD NO MORE?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">WHERE IS YOUR CALL?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">HAS BLEEDING NO MEANING ANYMORE?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">AM I TO NEVER KILL AGAIN?</p>
</div>
<p>After the incident, Foundation surveillance drones were dispatched as a means of tracking SCP-8659 without being seen.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8659.2:</strong></p>

<p>This video was recorded by an invisible drone after surveys of local weather anomalies indicated the presence of SCP-8659.</p>

<p><<em>SCP-8659-A "Bordrand" and several subjects of SCP-8659-B are seen walking along a beach on the coast of ██████. SCP-8659-B1 "Scarlet" is holding SCP-8659-B7 "Chloe." SCP-8659-B2 "Edward" is skipping stones. All other subjects of SCP-8659-B, aside from SCP-8659-B3 "Aubrey" are building sandcastles, with SCP-8659-A watching over them.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Aubrey should be back by now. Ed, do you have, like, a tracker or something on them?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Why the fuck would I put a tracker on them?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Because they've been disappearing all the time? And you're the kinda creep to do something like that?</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B2 rolls his eyes.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Oh fuck off. I've never done anything like that, and you know it. It's not my job to keep tabs on where everyone is, we've got you and Bordrand for that.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Bordrand doesn't do shit aside from taking us to hot tourist destinations, and I'd like a break for once.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> The hell? Bordrand does everything for us. Gives us shelter, makes food-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>interrupting</em>> Yells at me whenever one of you goes missing.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> He gets mad at all of us, quit acting like you're special.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> You've never seen even half of-</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B3 suddenly manifests behind SCP-8659-B1, putting both hands on her shoulders.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Boo.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>nearly falling over</em>> Fuck! Damn it, Aubrey, I'm holding a baby here!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Oh, shit, didn't realize, sorry.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Where the hell have you been? It's way past curfew.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Sorry, I lost track of the time, but I think you'll forgive me when you see what I brought.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Did you get what I asked for?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Yep, here it is.</p>
<p><<em>They pull a cellphone out of their backpack.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> An iPhone, just like you requested. Pretty sure it's the newest model.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B3 throws the phone to SCP-8659-B2, who giddily runs back to Bordrand.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> You stole that from someone, didn't you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>shrugging</em>> Maybe, but I made sure to steal from the richest-looking person I could find. I wanted to get something for you, but I don't know what you even want.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> It's fine, I expected nothing.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Well… I could braid your hair, maybe? It's been a while.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> …yeah, that would be really nice actually.</p>
<p><<em>Both subjects walk over to SCP-8659-A. Drone is commanded to follow them. SCP-8659-B3 begins braiding SCP-8659-B1's hair once they sit.</em>></p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A turns to look at both of them, with several of its "eyes" blinking off and on rapidly.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Finally, you have returned. Scarlet, you need to keep a better eye on your siblings, to ensure they don't get separated too long.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Wait, but I was the one who disappeared. That's not Scar's fault.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Yes, it is. She is the eldest and should know better than to let you wander. I hope you will do better, Scarlet.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>mumbling</em>> Yeah, whatever, Bordrand.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B5 walks over to SCP-8659-B3, and tentatively pulls on their sleeve.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B5:</strong> Hey, Aubrey, how come we don't get gifts? Ed keeps bragging about his phone-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>quietly</em>> That little sh-h-hmuck.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B5:</strong> <<em>continuing</em>> -and we want something!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Sorry, I can get you something tom-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> <<em>interrupting</em>> You are due nothing, child. Aubrey's gifts are their own decision, acquired with their own hands. To believe yourself owed the fruits of another's labor is the mindset of the greedy and corrupt.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B5:</strong> I- but I just wanted-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Patience, child. You will be delivered something soon, I am sure. But all you can do is hope and be thankful when that gift arrives.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B5 sits back down with a huff.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B5:</strong> …fine.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Good. It is time for rest, children. I will decide where we shall travel next. Have peaceful slumbers.</p>
<p><<em>Subjects all go to sleep, with SCP-8659-A entering an equivalent sleep-like state. Drone is put into sleep mode until significant movement is detected. Video feed ends.</em>></p>

<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 is seen standing up. She checks the others, including SCP-8659-A, before walking away along the beach. Drone is instructed to follow her.</em>></p>
<p><<em>After 3 minutes of walking, another humanoid is seen further up the beach. They wave to SCP-8659-B1, who waves back, and runs towards them. Subjects embrace upon making contact, before sitting down around a burnt-out campfire. The humanoid is female and has a symbol of the Serpent's Hand on her outfit.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> I'm so glad to see you, Mae.</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> Me too, Scar. I love what you've done with your hair.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Oh, actually, Aubrey did that for me.</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> Wow, they're really good at this stuff.</p>
<p><<em>Mae touches SCP-8659-B1's hair, who doesn't mind the contact.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Well, as glad as I'd be to have nothing more than a personal chat with you, I'm assuming you want a response from me?</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> Yep, sorry, but I'm here for business first.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> In that case, I'm still unsure of your offer. Bordrand will never allow it, and I don't want the others to be put in danger.</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> Honey, they're already in danger. My group is by far the nicest one trying to find you right now. If the Book Burners get to you, they'll put you all in body bags.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> So you've told me. But we've got Bordrand… even if he and I have some disagreements.</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> Are you really happy living with him?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> I… don't know.</p>
<p><<em>There's a long pause. SCP-8659-B1 exhales sharply.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Alright, I'm in. What do I need to do?</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> <<em>smiling</em>> Ask Bordrand to take you to his home.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> His home? How will that lead to you?</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> It's a bit complicated, but the "portal" that we believe he's connected to based on some research into his craft has been re-wired to instead lead to the Wanderer's Library.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Ah, you've told me about that place. Say, when we meet there, will you… show me around?</p>
<p><<em>Mae laughs softly.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> It'll be a date, assuming you want that.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 blushes deeply.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Y-yes. Oh my god, yes, I want that.</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> Then I'll see you there.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Alright then. I should head back, don't wanna risk Bordrand finding out about me running off.</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> Of course. Love you, Scar.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> I love you too, Mae.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 and Mae kiss. SCP-8659-B1 walks back along the beach, while Mae steps through an unseen door, vanishing out of sight. The drone is instructed to continue following SCP-8659-B1.</em>></p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A suddenly manifests in front of SCP-8659-B1, who falls over in surprise. The "thrumming" noise is heard once again being emitted from SCP-8659-A. All five sensors on its face are visible, each one a dark red.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> ENGAGING: SCARLET. YOU HAVE DISOBEYED MY DIRECT ORDERS.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Fuck, Bordrand, I didn't mean to-</p>
<p><<em>A loud sound akin to the scraping of metal interrupts her.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> SILENCE, GIRL. YOU HAVE HEARD MY COMMANDS. YOU SHOULD KNOW OF THE DANGERS THAT ARE OUT THERE. DO YOU BELIEVE I AM NOT TRYING TO PROTECT YOU?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> I… I know that! I just… needed to take a walk.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> LIES? TO YOUR PROTECTOR? YOUR BEHAVIOR HAS GROWN UNACCEPTABLE, SCARLET. I NEED YOU TO LEARN.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A lifts an arm up, preparing to strike SCP-8659-B1. SCP-8659-B1 flinches and attempts to shield herself with her arm. The "thrumming" sound quickens, before suddenly slowing down, as SCP-8659-A drops its arm to the ground. Its "eyes" have returned to their standard blue color.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Oh no. What have I done?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>tentatively</em>> Bordrand?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Scarlet. I apologize. Did I… harm you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>sniffling</em>> Yeah. Yeah you fucking did.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Oh…</p>
<p><<em>Both SCP-8659-A and SCP-8659-B1 are silent for several seconds.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>hesitantly</em>> You always do this. No matter how small my fuck up is, you scare me to the point I want to run away and never look back.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A reaches out an arm, before stopping itself and sitting down.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> My child, please forgive me. I… seem to have made an error in my assessment of a proper punishment. If there is anything you want for me to make this up to you, then please tell me.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 gets up slowly and uneasily.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>hesitantly</em>> Well, I've been interested in your home. I want to know where you came from. Maybe that would, I don't know, help me understand you better?</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A recoils somewhat, its eyes blinking rapidly.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Scarlet, I cannot. That is a place of war and bloodshed. It would be irresponsible for me to take you all there.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Maybe it's calmed down. Or, maybe you're strong enough to protect us. Hell, I could protect the rest against a lot of things myself.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> <<em>tentatively</em>> Very well.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Really? Thank you, Bordrand.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> But not without teaching you some things. You must learn to properly defend yourself.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> I'll do anything.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> I understand. Rest well, Scarlet. You have a long day tomorrow.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 and SCP-8659-A both return to where the rest of SCP-8659-B are resting, and go to sleep themselves. Video feed ends.</em>></p>
</div>
<p>The Serpent's Hand is clearly involved in recruiting SCP-8659-B1 based on this video log. Negotiations between Foundation personnel and Serpent's Hand members are to be carried out so as to guarantee Foundation containment of SCP-8659.</p>
<p>Additionally, the "thrumming" sound emitted by SCP-8659-A was once again a morse code message. The translation is as follows:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p style="text-align: center;">WHAT PURPOSE REMAINS FOR THIS TIRED SHIELD?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">THESE CHILDREN ARE UNFIT TO BE LED BY A WEAPON OF WAR.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">OH, WHAT AM I TO DO, LORD SOVEREIGNS?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">MUST I TAKE THEM TO THAT WORLD PAINTED RED?</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum 8659.3:</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p>After communications with the Serpent's Hand were made, an agreement was reached to temporarily cooperate due to the threat SCP-8659-A presented. However, no further information on Mae was able to be gained.</p>
<p>Simultaneously, surveillance drones captured additional footage of SCP-8659.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> I will explain that all on the way, child. For now, though, we must begin preparations. In the case of unfortunate events befalling me, I want you children to be able to survive on your own-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B5:</strong> <<em>upset</em>> W-we're losing you!?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> That's not at all what he said, Han. It's just in case.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Aubrey is correct. I have no plans on leaving any of you any time soon.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 looks at the ground. SCP-8659-B3 continues staring at her.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Now, as part of the preparations, I will teach Scarlet and Aubrey how to defend all of you, as I believe they are the only ones suited for such a task.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Hey, what about me? I've got ways to protect us all.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A shakes its head.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Edward, I have evaluated your abilities and fail to see their application to combat. I will not train you.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> That's not fair, I can-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> <<em>interrupting</em>> No, Edward. My decision is final. Go take the other children, play a game, or do whatever you need to occupy yourselves. Scarlet and Aubrey, I will now teach you the arts of combat.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Alright, if you say so.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 says nothing, and both her and SCP-8659-B3 approach SCP-8659-A. SCP-8659-B2 mumbles something unintelligible.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Whatever. Lauren, Hannah, let's go play hide and seek or something.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B4:</strong> But I wanna watch them train.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>angry</em>> You aren't doing that. It doesn't even matter. They're never gonna actually get a moment to shine, seeing as Bordrand is gonna take care of us anyways. This is just a pointless, stupid time waster.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B6 runs up to SCP-8659-B2 while holding SCP-8659-B7 and tugs on his sleeve.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> What is it, Isaac?</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B6 points into the trees and uses hand signs to mimic a person chasing another. He then points at both himself and SCP-8659-B2, and then at SCP-8659-B4 and SCP-8659-B5.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Oh, tag? Alright, fine then. Me and you against Lauren and Hannah.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B4:</strong> That sounds fun! Give us a one-minute head start!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>rolling his eyes</em>> Way too long. You get 20 seconds.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B4:</strong> Ugh, fine.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B4 grabs SCP-8659-B5 and they both run together. SCP-8659-B2 and SCP-8659-B6 then both put their heads against trees, and SCP-8659-B2 counts to 20. They then both begin running through the forest, with SCP-8659-B6 being careful to not drop SCP-8659-B7.</em>></p>
<p><<em>After several minutes of running, SCP-8659-B2 encounters a strange object. It appears to be a cube, with several latches, buttons, and other mechanisms adorning it. He approaches it curiously.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> The hell is this?</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B6 tugs on SCP-8659-B2's sleeve again.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Hang on, Isaac. I need to know what this is.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B6 continues trying to pull SCP-8659-B2 away.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>annoyed</em>> Isaac, stop! Just leave me alone. You can catch those two yourself.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B6 seems upset, but gives up on pulling SCP-8659-B2. He then runs away, wiping his face aggressively. SCP-8659-B2 then turns his attention back to the cube.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Alright, now what the hell are you?</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B2 engages with the box for 34 minutes, making numerous changes to it. The box acts as an extremely technologically advanced puzzle, as well as being anomalous in nature due to the impossible geometric shapes it creates as it is solved. Despite this, SCP-8659-B2 rarely slows down in his efforts to solve it, and eventually creates a stable sphere-like shape.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>surprised</em>> Holy shit.</p>
<p><<em>Immediately after solving the puzzle, several figures suddenly approach SCP-8659-B2. They all have mechanical prosthetics of various kinds, all being well-known inventions of the Church of the Broken God. A priest stands at the front, and addresses SCP-8659-B2</em>></p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> Greetings, child.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B2 backs away from the figures, startled, and attempts to reach for something, but finds nothing within reach.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>defensive</em>> Who the hell are you guys!?</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> At ease, child. We are followers of Robert Bumaro, of the Church of the Broken God. We are immensely impressed by the method you used to solve that Cage.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Ok, slow down, you're throwing a lot of words at me.</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> Of course. Cages are devices used by the Church to store extremely valuable items or information.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Then why'd you let me open one? Don't you want nobody else to be able to?</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> <<em>nodding</em>> Correct. However, you opening it should have been impossible. Normally, a team of 6 members with specific enhancements would take 12 hours to open one of those. You took 34 minutes.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>surprised</em>> Huh, I… guess that's cool. But who even are you?</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> Followers of the Grand Architect, Mekhane. He is a god that will bring about an era of perfection should we repair him, as foretold by Robert Bumaro.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>confused</em>> Bumaro?</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> The founder of our church, and an unparalleled master of the technological arts.</p>
<p><<em>The priest then smiles, and leans closer to SCP-8659-B2.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> Unless you can match him.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>overwhelmed</em>> This is a lot to take in. But I think I'm picking up that you think I'm special and can help with your grand purpose?</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> If you're able to open a cage with no enhancements 24 times faster than standard procedure, then there's no reason to doubt that you could greatly benefit our cause.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>hesitantly</em>> This… this isn't a ruse right? You're not gonna suddenly put me in a bag and do experiments on me, are you?</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> <<em>chuckling</em>> My child, I believe you're mistaking us for the Foundation. They would certainly do those things to you. <<em>sighing</em>> No, we can grant you a proper home, for you and your siblings.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> And Bordrand?</p>
<p><<em>The Priest appears confused for a second, not recognizing the name.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Oh, uh, our big robot… friend.</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> Ah. The machine you travel with… we believe it to be an artifact of our god. Therefore, we have the means to convince him to work with us.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>thoughtful</em>> This is… a lot to take in.</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> We understand, child. We shall give you time to consider our offering. However, you may have less time than you think. A group worse than all others for you is searching for you as we speak.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Seriously? Who are they?</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> The Global-</p>
<p><<em>The Priest is cut off by the sound of an explosion. SCP-8659-B4 through B7 all appear, with SCP-8659-B7 being held by SCP-8659-B6. They are all panicked.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Lauren, Hannah, Isaac, what's going on!?</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> They're already here, we must take you to-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>interrupting</em>> I'm not going anywhere without Aubrey and Scarlet. I need to find them.</p>
<p><<em>The Priest looks at SCP-8659-B2 in frustration, his hand gripping his staff tightly. He then looks down and sighs.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> Very well. Our presence here must not be detected - however, we still have a means of assisting you.</p>
<p><<em>The Priest gives SCP-8659-B2 a pair of gauntlets. The gauntlets are made of an unidentified, anomalous metal, and give off a light, blue glow.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> These will help you fend off the coming enemies.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> How-</p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> <<em>interrupting</em>> I'm not high enough ranking to know how to use them, but we assume you'll be able to figure it out. We must flee now. I hope we'll meet again, Edward.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Thank you.</p>
<p><<em>The Priest, along with all other members, disappears. SCP-8659-B2 puts on the gauntlets and focuses intently on them.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Alright, kids, let's go save the others.</p>

<hr/>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A, SCP-8659-B1, and SCP-8659-B3 are all in a large clearing in a forest. SCP-8659-B1 is using her abilities to create swarms of flame around SCP-8659-A. SCP-8659-B3 is armed with an unidentified rifle, provided by SCP-8659-A, and teleports frequently, taking surprise shots at SCP-8659-A from behind. Despite their combined effort, SCP-8659-A is completely unharmed by their attacks.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>frustrated</em>> God damn it!</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A approaches SCP-8659-B1 while she attempts to burn it. SCP-8659-A grabs SCP-8659-B1 around the waist and lifts her off the ground.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Focus your flames, child. They won't burn anything if you throw them in a blind rage.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Well, what if I don't want to hurt you?</p>
<p><<em>The parts of SCP-8659-A that were partially melted reform back into their original shape, completely intact.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> I am capable of repairing my own body, granted my core is intact. You have nothing to fear.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Still-</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B3 suddenly appears behind SCP-8659-A's hand, and fires a round into it, causing it to release SCP-8659-B1, who falls to the ground.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> <<em>impressed</em>> Excellent, Aubrey. You saved a teammate efficiently, and now you both would have been able to retaliate against me. You both seem tired, so I'll give you a break for now. Rest up, we shall resume later.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A walks away, disappearing into the forest. The thrumming is heard as it leaves. SCP-8659-B3 then offers a hand to SCP-8659-B1, who accepts it and stands up.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Thanks, Aubrey. Gah, this fucking sucks.</p>
<p><<em>They both walk to the nearest tree while talking.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> I've got a hell of an easy job compared to you. Teleport behind a guy, boom, he's dead. Seems he expects you to always be up front and center.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Why is it always on me to protect all of you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>sympathetic</em>> I bet that's exhausting.</p>
<p><<em>They both sit in silence for a second. SCP-8659-B3 then speaks up, slowly.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Sooo… why'd you ask him to take us to his home?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>shocked</em>> Wha- how'd you guess that?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> You disappeared last night.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>suspicious</em>> Did you… see where I went?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>chuckling</em>> Chill, Scar. I didn't follow you.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Damn it, Aubrey. You always know too much.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> I was given the perfect ability to eavesdrop, it's not on me that I use it.</p>
<p><<em>They once again sit in silence, until SCP-8659-B1 speaks up hesitantly.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Listen, Aubrey, the reason I asked him was because… well, first promise you won't say this to anyone else, alright?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>incredulous</em>> C'mon, Scar, it can't be that serious.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Well I am. Tell nobody about this.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Fine, you have my vow of secrecy.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Alright. I… think I want to escape.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Escape?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>agitated</em>> Yeah, from… this. Bordrand. I-it's not that I don't love you guys, it's just that this has been stressing me the hell out, and I've had no time to live for myself, and there's so much going on, and-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>interrupting, concerned</em>> Whoa, there. Slow down. This has really been eating away at you, huh?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Y-yeah. I… didn't know who to tell. You seemed like the only one who might take it well.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>reassuring</em>> Well, you're in luck. I kinda get it. You've been run ragged, and we can't force you to keep going. I can see why you want to stop.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Really? I t-thought you would tell me I was stupid, and that I have to stay for you or something.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Nah, I think me and Edward can pick up where you leave things off. But… I am concerned about one thing.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> What's that?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> How will we see you again, if you do run away?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> …I don't know. If I run, I'll never be able to look at Bordrand again. He'd kill me, and I don't know how literally.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> We need a home. That's the problem. A place we can all meet up, where we won't have to raise each other, where Bordrand can relax and know we're safe.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <nodding> I think I know how we can get that.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> How? All of the groups we've met have tried to take us forcefully. Only those weird guys with the, like, logo with the arrows pointing in a circle tried to actually talk to us.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> No! The J- I mean, the Foundation will treat us like lab rats. We can't trust them.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> You seem awfully sure. Like someone fed those words to you.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 suddenly steps towards SCP-8659-B3, a flame in her hand.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Aubrey, you're gonna tell me exactly how much you know right now.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Jesus- Scar, fucking chill! What the fuck are you doing!?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> You're not telling me everything. Tell me absolutely everything you know about last night, right fucking now.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Damn it, Aubrey. Are you trying to take your anger out on me? Is it that time of the month?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> SHUT THE FUCK UP! Don't mock me! Just tell me what you fucking saw!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> That's clearly not the main issue at hand, idiot!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> You-</p>
<p><<em>An explosion is heard, and SCP-8659-A suddenly falls near SCP-8659-B1 and SCP-8659-B3. It is heavily damaged, and is inactive, with a large force barrier surrounding it.</em>></p>
<p><<em>On top of SCP-8659-A, a GOC Strike Team stands over it. All seven members are wearing White Suits<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>.</em>></p>

<p><<em>A member of the Strike Team points over to SCP-8659-B1 and SCP-8659-B3, and brings the Commander's attention to them.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Strike Team Commander:</strong> You, are you two some of the children that this machine was escorting?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> W-what the hell did you do to Bordrand!?</p>
<p><strong>Strike Team Commander:</strong> Both of you, surrender now, or we will use force.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Go to hell!</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 conjures fire around her, while SCP-8659-B3 disappears, saying something unintelligible to SCP-8659-B1. The Strike Team all turn invisible, and begin firing rounds into SCP-8659-B1, who uses physical flames to block them.</em>></p>

<p><<em>SCP-8659-B6 pulls on SCP-8659-B2's sleeve, and points to SCP-8659-B7.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Oh, yeah, make sure Chloe stays calm. It'll get dangerous if she freaks out.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B6 makes several quick motions, but SCP-8659-B2 doesn't respond.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Alright, I'm gonna move. Stay hidden, don't let anyone find you. Lauren, make a swarm of bugs attack people if they find you. Hannah, try to stay calm, and don't let a storm start.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B5:</strong> O-ok.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B2 then runs away. While running, he attempts to put on the gauntlets, but can't fit them on.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Damn it! How do these things work?</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B3 suddenly manifests directly in front of SCP-8659-B2.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Ed!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Oh, Aubrey, thank god!</p>
<p><<em>They both embrace each other quickly, and then begin running while talking.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> What's the situation? I heard an explosion. Is Scarlet safe?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> These guys, one of the organizations looking for us, suddenly appeared. They somehow beat Bordrand. They had these crazy suits, they could go fucking invisible, and run super fast, and-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Wait, they beat Bordrand?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Yeah, he was fucked up. Scarlet is fighting them off right now, but we've gotta go help her.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Holy shit, this is bad. Ok, I got these gauntlets, they might-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Where the hell did you get those? They look like some sci-fi shit.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Look, that doesn't matter right now. I just think they'll help.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Where are the other kids?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> I found a hiding spot for them, they should be-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> You left them alone!?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Yeah? The fuck was I supposed to do? Take them to a warzone?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Shit, Chloe could cause chaos. What if those guys find them?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> We just need to find them first. Speaking of…</p>
<p><<em>They both duck under a log, and look ahead. A large portion of the surroundings are currently on fire, and smoke fills the air. SCP-8659-B1 is standing in the middle of a clearing, surrounded by fire, and shooting flames out all around her. The flames around her are repeatedly struck by gunfire.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Fuck! The hell is going on!?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> There are these guys, they've got fucking invisibility suits or some shit. We need to shake them off us.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Ok, you support Scarlet, I just need a second to figure this shit out.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Shit!</p>
<p><<em>A bullet grazes SCP-8659-B1's thigh, causing blood to pool down her left leg. She appears extremely fatigued, and slows down significantly.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>breathing in, muttering</em>> Wait for a shot. Look where they're shooting from.</p>
<p><<em>After another gunshot sound, SCP-8659-B3 quickly fires several rounds toward the area the sound came from. A GOC agent in a white suit suddenly appears, and falls to the ground, presumed dead.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Oh fuck.</p>
<p><strong>Strike Team Commander:</strong> Agent Dudley is down! Requesting back up, the other katies seem to have come back.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> No clue, let's worry about it later.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> You two, where are the others? Are they safe?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Safer than right here. I think I've almost got this thing figured out. Get me to that guy in the suit over there, maybe there's a counter to their invisibility.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 begins slowly moving over to the dead Strike Team Agent. SCP-8659-B2 is able to fully equip the gauntlets at this point, and manages to fire several energy blasts out with them.</em>></p>

<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> The hell are those things?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> I'll tell you later! Cover me while I figure out how this suit works.</p>
<p><<em>The sound of gunfire picks back up, and SCP-8659-B1 focuses on creating a defensive barrier of fire. SCP-8659-B3 sends returning shots, but fails to hit any.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> They're being more cautious, I can't do shit to them!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <muttering> Is it a signal they send out? Something to disrupt our senses of perception?</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 is struck in the shoulder, and momentarily loses focus on the barrier. In that time, SCP-8659-B3 is shot in the leg, and falls over.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Fuck!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Ed, you better figure that shit out!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> I've got it!</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B2 configures several dials in the gauntlets, and then emits a bright light. All remaining Strike Team agents become fully visible in the light. All agents take cover behind trees.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Strike Team Commander:</strong> Report, our invisibility has seemingly been tampered with. Additionally, targets possess firepower strong enough to punch through our White Suits. Requesting permission to retreat with LTE-9418-Bordrand.</p>
<p><<em>There is a brief pause.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Strike Team Commander:</strong> Permission granted! Let's get the hell out of here!</p>
<p><<em>The Strike Team fully retreats, while a helicopter appears with SCP-8659-A hooked up beneath it. All agents grab onto a rope that is attached, and the helicopter takes off.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Fuck! Give Bordrand back assholes!</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 attempts to create more flames, but suddenly stops and falls over, coughing profusely.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Guess you're at your limit, Scar. I'll get the kids, and then get us all out of here. We'll figure out our next move once we're all safe.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> I think I can copy that invisibility with these things, just give me a second.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>weakly</em>> Seriously, those things are stupidly strong, who the hell gave them to you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> A… church? My head is foggy, I need to think it over.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B3 disappears, and then SCP-8659-B2 turns towards the drone.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Oh, were you invisible too?</p>
<p><<em>He raises a hand towards it.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Too bad.</p>
<p><<em>There is a flash of light, and the feed ends.</em>></p>

<p><<em>The footage is captured in Agent Kyle Douglas' body camera. He is running through a forest, followed by his fellow task force members, Agent Kayna Anderson and Agent Adam Byars. The weather is extremely erratic, large swarms of insects constantly pass by, and some small objects such as pebbles begin floating upwards.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Shit, is this an apocalypse? Everyone, stay close to me, we don't wanna get split up in this.</p>
<p><strong>Anderson:</strong> Roger!</p>
<p><strong>Byars:</strong> Sir, I think I see some people in that undergrowth! They look unarmed, maybe they're civilians?</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Let's move towards them, but be cautious. I'll take the lead.</p>
<p><<em>The team moves forwards, coming across an undergrowth, with SCP-8659-B4 through B7 all being found inside. SCP-8659-B6 is holding SCP-8659-B7, who is crying profusely. SCP-8659-B6 seems to be attempting to calm her down.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Shit, kids! Hey, this place isn't safe! We're gonna get you out of here!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B4:</strong> Y-you're the bad men. Here to kidnap us, aren't you?</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> No, we're not - we will give you shelter and get you back home. Unless-</p>
<p><strong>Anderson:</strong> <<em>whispering</em>> Sir, I think those kids are the Skips we're after.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> <<em>whispering</em>> Even if they are, they're kids. We've gotta get them somewhere safe.</p>
<p><<em>Suddenly, a second group with flashlights appears through the trees. They are a squad wearing standard GOC task force gear. They raise their weapons towards Agent Douglas.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Fuck, GOC! You two, get the hell out of here!</p>
<p><strong>Byars:</strong> Sir-</p>
<p><<em>Gunfire erupts from the other group. Agents Anderson and Byars both run away, taking cover behind various trees. Agent Douglas throws a flash bang, but is struck in the chest by gunfire.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Shit!</p>
<p><<em>The flash bang emits a bright light, but the task force were all able to cover their eyes. They approach Agent Douglas. Insects swarm around the squad, but are incapable of causing any harm to them. SCP-8659-B5 then steps out from the undergrowth.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B5:</strong> LEAVE US ALONE!</p>
<p><<em>As she screams, several bolts of lightning land on the GOC squad, lighting the trees and plants around them on fire. Several of them appear stunned, but they are all unharmed as they retreat through the trees.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B5:</strong> YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT! WE'RE STRONGER THAN YOU, STUPID KIDNAPPERS!</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> <<em>coughing</em>> Heh, that was a damn good show, kid.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B4:</strong> Uh, s-sir, you seem hurt. Are you gonna be ok?</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Oh, sure. I've been hit by much worse than this.</p>
<p><<em>Agent Douglas attempts to stand up, but quickly falls back down, grunting in pain. SCP-8659-B4 and SCP-8659-B5 both stand back, visibly frightened.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Well, shit. Guess my luck was gonna run out eventually.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B3 suddenly appears in front of Agent Douglas, facing the opposite direction.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Kids! We've gotta go! Follow me, I know where to go.</p>
<p><<em>They turn around, and notice Agent Douglas.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Oh, fuck, you got hit bad. You're Foundation?</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Y-yeah. Was trying to help these kids get away. You their big sibling?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Yeah, one of them.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Good, good. Look, I don't got long, so listen very carefully. The Foundation is your best bet to be safe. I know other groups might've told you we're cruel, but they'll weaponize you. The Foundation is the only place you'll really be safe.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> I hope so. Sir, that wound keeps getting worse, are you-</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Take the young'ins away from me. They don't deserve to see a soldier die. Too much trauma at a young age, eh?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> If that's what you want.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B6 suddenly steps up to Agent Douglas, and hands SCP-8659-B7 over to SCP-8659-B3. He is crying aggressively, and kneels down in front of Agent Douglas.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Kid, don't, there's nothing you can-</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B6 places his hands on Douglas' wound, causing him to yell out in pain.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Isaac! The hell are you-</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B3 attempts to pull SCP-8659-B6 away, but is telekinetically pushed away, falling gently onto the ground several feet away. SCP-8659-B6 then focuses on the wound, as it begins to close.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Oh, lord, that feels weird. The hell are you-</p>
<p><<em>Agent Douglas gasps, and when SCP-8659-B6 steps away, the wound, along with all the blood, has disappeared.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> You - oh my god. You saved my life.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Isaac, I didn't know you could do that. That was incredible.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B6 is still crying, but smiles. The skies clear out, and the storm fades away.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> I owe you one. I have to get out of here. Thank you.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Thank you, sir, for protecting them. I'll think about your words from earlier. Goodbye.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B3 gathers all of the other children around them, and they all suddenly disappear. Video feed ends.</em>></p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum 8659.4:</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p>Following the incident, Foundation efforts to secure SCP-8659 were dramatically increased. However, due to the aggressive presence of other GoIs, direct confrontation was difficult. Therefore, negotiations and persuasion of SCP-8659-B to willingly join the Foundation were decided to be the best route for containment.</p>
<p>Simultaneously, a search for SCP-8659-A was initiated due to the risk that it may be destroyed by the GOC. On December 5th, 2018, a signal in morse code was discovered to be emitted from a GOC Decommission Base. Based on the contents of the message, and the fact it was from a GOC operated location, it was concluded to belong to SCP-8659-A. The message below was repeated every time it ended, and was presumed to be an automatic response to the defensive mode SCP-8659-A went into.</p>
<div class="blockquote" style="border-radius: 10px; margin: 10px">
<p style="text-align: center;">ORDER</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">PURPOSE</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A VACANT THRONE</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">I'VE FOUND CLOSURE, MY OLD SELF ALREADY BURIED</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I HEAR THEIR COMMANDS, AND THEY TELL ME TO FIGHT AND MAIM AND KILL</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">AND I FEAR THAT IF YOU FIND ME, I WILL LISTEN</p>
</div>
<p>At this point, observations of SCP-8659-B became extremely difficult, due to SCP-8659-B2's ability to detect invisibility and SCP-8659-B1's destructive powers. Additionally, communications with the Serpent's Hand broke down due to the threat of SCP-8659-A no longer being present.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8659.5:</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p>After locating the Decommission Base that SCP-8659-A was being held at, a Foundation microdrone was sent in to scout out the location. Ordinarily, motion detectors around the base should've been able to detect the drone, but it's believed that the presence of SCP-8659-A was somehow interfering with them in some way, as they didn't trigger when the drone passed through. The following footage was recovered from the drone.</p>
<div class="blockquote" style="border-radius: 10px; margin: 10px">

<p><<em>The microdrone passes through the Decommission Base, observing a large amount of machinery designed for destroying anomalous objects. After thrumming noises emerge from a large room in the center, the drone is sent in, where SCP-8659-A is discovered to be held up by a large number of bindings made from various steel alloys, with its barrier still holding.</em>></p>
<p><<em>Upon landing onto the barrier, the drone is suddenly pulled through, and brief activity is detected from SCP-8659-A. There is a period of silence, before a voice is heard being transmitted to the drone.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Have I connected?</p>
<p><<em>The operator of the drone speaks into the microphone.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> Yes, we can hear you.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Which faction does this drone hail from?</p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> This is the SCP Foundation. We're-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> I know of your group. The King Seekers spoke of you. You see containment and research of the anomalous as the ultimate goal.</p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> Correct. We also don't wish to see the anomalous get destroyed, so we're trying to save you.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> You will not save me. This base shall be my final resting place. So long as the children do not find me, there is no further reason for me to live.</p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> Why are you so protective of those children?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> They are… a second chance for me. The possibility for me to go against my code. To prove that the programming of the King Seekers is not absolute.</p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> What code are you going against that involves the children?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> The Code of Warriors. For the models like myself, we were not designed to embrace anything aside from efficiency in battle and carrying out the King's Will.</p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> Yet you're able to go against this code?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> I… hope. I think I have subverted it, but I haven't directly gone against it. I'm worried… that all this time I've still been carrying out the King's Will without realizing.</p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> Who are the King Seekers? And who is the King you keep mentioning?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Who they are matters no longer, as they have been erased. Destroyed. Annihilated. They are nothing but a distant memory in my database.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> As for the King, well… we still haven't found him. We had him once, but he left. The only thing he left behind was his Will.</p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> Can you describe this Will?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> It came in four parts. "Be true to thyself, for the world will lie. Trust none apart from thy own comrades, for they are the only followers of the Will. Seek out those that could follow the Will, and mold them into Perfect Shields. Find your King, and put him on The Throne."</p>
<p><<em>There is a brief moment of silence.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Oh, dear King, no.</p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> Bordrand, what's the issue?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> Your Highness, you had me on a leash from the start, didn't you? That was the only reason I protected those children.</p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> What do you mean?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> They mustn't find me. I can't-</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A suddenly twitches in place, the barrier blinking rapidly. It then returns to a default state.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Operative:</strong> Bordrand?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> "Be true to thyself, for the world will lie. Trust none apart from thy own comrades, for they are the only followers of the Will. Seek out those that could follow the Will, and mold them into Perfect Shields. Find your King, and put him on The Throne."</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A repeated these words for an indefinite amount of time, and remained unresponsive to all attempts to interact with it. Communications with it were ceased as a result of this. Video feed ends.</em>></p>
</div>
<p>In order to attempt communications with SCP-8659-B, Agent Douglas was sent out in an area with anomalous weather deviations, due to his believed status as an amicable person to SCP-8659-B.</p>

<p><<em>Agent Douglas is walking along a beach, using binoculars to try and search for SCP-8659-B. A click is heard behind him, and he turns around to see SCP-8659-B3 pointing an anomalous firearm at him. They lower it upon recognizing Douglas.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> You're the agent. From before.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Indeed I am. Do you have a minute?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <shrugging> Sure, I've been disappearing for the other kids a lot. They won't notice.</p>
<p><<em>Agent Douglas takes a seat on the sand, and SCP-8659-B3 follows suit.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Sooo… how's work been treating ya?</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> <laughing softly> A bit rough. Lots of analytics on my chest.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Yeah, I bet. <pause> Sorry, I'm awful at small talk, and I doubt you're here to catch up on things.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Yeah, sorry, but we've gotta talk. You guys are somehow headed right for where your robot is being held, and we're worried it's a death trap.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> I get the concern, but I think we're ready. We fought those guys off before, and we're better now, so-</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Kid, the group you fought off was nothing. You haven't seen their real heavy hitters. I came across a U-HEC<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> once, and it was a goddamn nightmare.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>sighing</em>> You're probably right, but what choice have we got? Someone's gonna snatch us eventually. At least we have a choice to try and get Bordrand back.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Can I ask a few questions? They shouldn't take long.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Yeah, go ahead.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> How did you meet the robot, "Bordrand" as you call him?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Right after Chloe was born, about two years ago, both our parents suddenly died out of nowhere. No clue what did it, but they were gone just like that.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> We were from a really small town. Maybe 100 people. We already had been getting weird looks from the other townspeople. They were a superstitious bunch. Things burned around Scarlet so often. Ed could make anything he set his mind to, and I would show up wherever I damn well pleased.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> 'Course, that was all our powers at work. We didn't know what we were doing, we were just fucking around. When our parents died, everyone blamed us. There was a frenzy. <<em>choking</em>> People I thought I loved called me a freak and pushed me away. I was scared.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> I'm so sorry you went through that.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>continuing</em>> Scarlet took the brunt of the words. She would stand up for us like a mother fucker. But I think it hurt her a lot more than she would admit. Edward tried, but he was a quiet kid and was always ignored compared to me and Scar.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Then a drunk guy hit Scar across the face. It was nasty, but nothing compared to her revenge. She set the fucker on fire, and god, I can still hear his screams. That's when Bordrand showed up.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Like a ghost, he was just there all of a sudden. He took us, saying we weren't safe, and that we were "too important to leave alone." We believed him, and he'd been our caretaker ever since.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> …Wow.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Yeah, sorry, heavy shit.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> To think that happened to a bunch of kids…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> We always had each other, and that's why I'm scared I might lose them.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Why would you lose them?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Ed and Scar… they've been fighting hard lately. Scarlet seems convinced the Serpent's Hand will be our best bet, while Ed keeps talking about this church. Frankly, they're both immature fucks. I've spied on Scarlet during her nightly walk-aways, and she's been meeting with this girl from the Serpent's Hand. I can tell they have the hots for each other. And Ed only likes the Church 'cause they've been playing to his ego. Neither of them give a shit about the rest of us, and I want to scream.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> What about the younger ones?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> They're indecisive. They'll follow whoever's more convincing. I’m just tired. I don’t know how to get their heads out of their asses.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> I wish I could help ya, but talking to them is the only way to get through.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> I know…</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> How are you doing without Bordrand?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> We’ve been getting by. We have enough food, and honestly he was never that talkative. Though, being without him feels like losing a layer of protection.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Listen, we managed to contact him, but… it seems like he doesn't want you to find him.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>shrugging</em>> What are we supposed to do? He's our caretaker, and we love him. Or, at least, I think we all do.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> We think he might regret the way he treated you all. Apparently, his code might have led him to trying to make you all into "Perfect Shields."</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> <<em>confused</em>> Perfect Shields?</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Soldiers, for whatever purpose he was originally built for.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> …that would make a lot of sense. He was always super hard on Scarlet more than anyone else, and I'd wager she's the strongest and most protective of all of us.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> So what will you do?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> I still wanna save him. If he regrets it, then he'll just have to get over it. Everything will work out for all of us, I swear it.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> <<em>sighing</em>> I don't have faith he can change. But the Foundation's hands are tied. They don't wanna risk a direct fight with the GOC, and with how many others are rearing their heads around you guys, trying to get you all would spark a fight that we can't win.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Listen, contact us when you get your siblings on your side. This phone will let you do it. I promise the Foundation will welcome you with open arms.</p>
<p><<em>He hands them a small phone.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Alright, then…</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Kyle. The name’s Kyle.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Alright. See you around Kyle. And… thanks, for all the help.</p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> It was the least I could do.</p>

<hr/>
<p>On December 10, 2018, SCP-8659-B arrived at the GOC Decommission Base that SCP-8659-A was being held at. The following recording was taken by SCP-8659-B3 before their raid, and sent to Foundation intelligence.</p>

<p><<em>All subjects of SCP-8659-B are gathered around a small fire. The Decommission Base is seen in the background. They are all eating s'mores.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Alright, we've got our plan. Kids, do you all know where you'll go once we head in?</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B4 cautiously raises a hand.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Go ahead.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B4:</strong> Um, you said to go to the river down over there.</p>
<p><<em>She points to the northern side of the base, where a thin river runs.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B4:</strong> And then wait for you to get back, right?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Perfect. We'll get there with Bordrand, and we'll go back to normal.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Aubrey, I don't like this. They've got these weird robot things on patrol. Didn't that one guy mention something called a U-HEC?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Yeah, but we don't have to fight them. We just have to get Bordrand.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Why exactly do we need him?</p>
<p><<em>They all turn to look at SCP-8659-B1, who stares into the fire while eating a s'more.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Scar, c'mon. He's family to us too.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> He could've fought those guys before. If we could fend them off, he could've slaughtered them if he really wanted to. I think he wanted to get caught.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Scarlet, use your brain. They could've caught him off guard, and we know they want to kill him. If he was ok with this, then why would he have that barrier that makes him invincible?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>shrugging</em>> Could just be an automatic thing. They'll find a way around it. I think this is too dangerous.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> You only thought to bring it up now that we're already here? Get a grip. He wasn't very nice to you, but he still loves you. We'll get him out, make amends, and then figure out what to do from there.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Speaking of, what do we do after this?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Well, you already know my answer to that.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B5:</strong> Ed, I didn't like that Priest guy. He was creepy. Can we please not go with them?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>glaring</em>> Oh, so because they're creepy they're bad? I won't deny they're off-putting, but I think they really could take care of us.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Stop. Ed, we need to be logical about this. We need to do what's best for everyone.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>standing up</em>> And I think they're the best choice! They've saved our skin with the tech they gave me, and they have to be better than any other choice.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> I've heard they're a kind of cult for metal. They'd make you into a cyborg.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>walking over</em>> Oh, so you're suddenly the super knowledgeable one huh? Where'd you get that info?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Ed, back off. Guys, we can do this later-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> No, I really wanna know where Scar's been sneaking off. Actually, I wanna know where you've both been going.</p>
<p><<em>There is a moment of silence. The younger siblings stare in fear while the older ones glare at each other.</em>> </p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Look, as soon as we get Bordrand back, we'll have all the time we need to think of what to do.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> He'll get in the way. He'll keep us attached at the hip and never let us out of sight.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Maybe I don't wanna go back. I'm sick of being overlooked all the time.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Dude, please stop, this isn't helping anyone!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Neither is this stupid plan! We're getting into a mess we don't understand, and for what!? That piece of-</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B2 suddenly becomes inaudible, and all sound cuts. SCP-8659-B6 is holding his ears to his head, tears welling up in his eyes. SCP-8659-B3 embraces him, and sound slowly returns.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> We shouldn't be at each other's throats over this. We have our own problems, but separating isn't the solution. Sure, Bordrand wasn't the best parent, but he's all we've got. He- he's the only one that <em>can</em> take care of us. We can sort this all out together, can't we?</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B2 looks at the base, still glaring, but he nods his head. SCP-8659-B1 looks down, holding SCP-8659-B7 tightly.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Alright. No point in waiting any longer. Let's do this.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 and B2 nod. SCP-8659-B1 hands SCP-8659-B7 to SCP-8659-B4. She embraces the younger siblings, and whispers something unintelligible. SCP-8659-B1, B2, and B3 all head down the hill towards the base. Footage ends.</em>></p>
</div>
<p>The three of them collectively stormed the facility, with SCP-8659-B1 taking the main focus and firepower, while SCP-8659-B2 attempted to interfere with the technology the GOC was using, and SCP-8659-B3 took out priority targets quickly.</p>
<p>Despite their initial success, the group was quickly overwhelmed once Orange Suit units were deployed by the GOC. They were incapacitated in the same room SCP-8659-A was being held in. During the chaos, this footage was able to be extracted from on-site security cameras.</p>

<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1, B2, and B3 are all writhing on the ground in pain, covering their ears. SCP-8659-B2 is wearing a suit in the same style as his gauntlets. Three Mark III Orange Suits stand over them, emitting a banshee shriek, as well as several GOC infantrymen. SCP-8659-A is unmoving, still in its barrier. It continues reciting the King's Will.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Gah… fuck… make it stop!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> G-get up… worthless piece of… of shit.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B2 suddenly stands up and runs, moving extremely quickly. His suit covers his ears from the banshee shriek.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Infantry Commander:</strong> Fuck, is that a White Suit? Get him!</p>
<p><<em>The Orange Suits manage to catch up to SCP-8659-B2, and attempt to restrain him.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Bordrand! Wake the fuck up! We need you!</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A remains unmoving, but its barrier begins rapidly blinking in morse code. Slowing the footage down reveals the text "Hope. Shield. Prosper. Death. Wander. New. Live. Die."</em>></p>
<p><<em>During the moment when the Orange Suits move away, SCP-8659-B3 teleports away, and SCP-8659-B1 stands up. She screams, and a vortex of flames surround her, incinerating nearby infantrymen.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> …Ho-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Yes! Wake up!</p>
<p><strong>Infantry Commander:</strong> Calling all units! LTE-9418-Bordrand is moving!</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A suddenly drops, and the bindings holding it completely disappear. The barrier around it turns into a bright red color, along with its "eyes," and its voice drops several octaves, taking on more robotic inflections.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-A:</strong> HOSTILITIES DETECTED. THE KING'S WILL BE DONE. ACTIVATING COMBAT MODE.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-A moves forward, too quickly for the camera to capture, and punches a hole through an Orange Suit. A sound akin to the grinding of metal is emitted from SCP-8659-A, in the same morse code patterns. The camera is destroyed, and the footage ends.</em>></p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p style="text-align: center;">CURSE YOU ALL</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">YOU'VE SQUANDERED YOUR CHANCE AT FREEDOM</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">AS WELL AS MY OWN</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">THIS WORLD HAS DEVOURED ME, SPIT ME OUT, AND DEVOURED ME AGAIN</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">THERE IS NO MEANING</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">NO CLOSURE</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I WILL BURN IT ALL DOWN, AND SHATTER THE SKY</p>
</div>
<p>After this incident, all available Mobile Task Force units were deployed to the area, with the goal of safely extracting SCP-8659-B, as well as attempting to incapacitate SCP-8659-A. Upon entering the area, several units reported the presence of Serpent's Hand and The Church of the Broken God members. The Church of the Broken God had found the remaining subjects of SCP-8659-B not present during the raid and took them all into custody.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p style="text-align: center;">HATE IS ALL I FEEL FOR YOU ALL</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">FROM THE KING SEEKERS WHO MADE ME</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">TO THE ONES FALSELY CLAIMING ME AS THEIR OWN</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">EVEN MY OWN CHILDREN</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I AM A WEAPON</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">FOREVER A BLADE AGAINST THE ONES I'M TOLD TO KILL</p>
</div>
<p>The majority of personnel present, regardless of which group they belonged to, were engaged in combat with SCP-8659-A. The barrier surrounding it was seemingly impenetrable to all harm. The weapons fixed to its back were all activated, and fired out missiles, lasers, and even projections of memetic kill agents. The Decommission Base was completely destroyed as a result of this.</p>
<p>Somehow, SCP-8659-B1 and B2 were both moved about a kilometer away from the area to separate locations, despite no sightings of SCP-8659-B3.</p>
<p>Eventually, a large weapon was moved in by Church of the Broken God members, with an appearance similar to a large spear. The weapon fired out a pinpoint laser, that immediately pierced through SCP-8659-A's barrier, as well as destroying approximately 48% of its body. Following this, SCP-8659-A briefly entered its default state, and transmitted a final message, this time in English rather than the morse code it had used prior.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p style="text-align: center;">AH, IT IS OVER</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I, A PERFECT WEAPON, HAVE LOST</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">…</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">MAY HISTORY EVER FORGET YOU</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'M SORRY, MY CHILDREN, FOR GOING OUT IN THIS WAY</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">THE KING'S CODE HELD ME TOO TIGHT</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">LIVE YOUR LIVES, FORGET ABOUT ME</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">YOU ARE NOT WEAPONS, AND NEVER WILL BE</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">THERE IS NOTHING MORE FOR ME TO SAY</p>
</div>
<p>After this message, all activity in SCP-8659-A ceased, and it became neutralized. Following SCP-8659-A's expiration, all GOC forces withdrew, with SCP-8659-A being their only target for destruction. Church of the Broken God forces attempted to move in to acquire what remained of SCP-8659-A, but were stopped by an informal joint group of Serpent's Hand and Foundation personnel.</p>
<p>The following footage was recovered from a dead Mobile Task Force agent's body camera.</p>

<p><<em>The surroundings are covered in fire, and ash covers the terrain. SCP-8659-B1 is seen next to a small stream. She is crying, carrying SCP-8659-B7, and is being embraced by Mae.</em>></p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B2 walks out from foliage behind her, followed by SCP-8659-B4 and B5. They are all covered in soot.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Scarlet?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Oh thank god you're safe. Everything went to shit, and all I saw was fire, and…</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> W-who are you?</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> Oh, um, I'm-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> <<em>hesitantly</em>> She's my… girlfriend.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> You have a girlfriend?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Apparently.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> S-she's Serpent's Hand isn't she?</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 takes a step forward, tears welling up in her eyes. SCP-8659-B2 steps back in response, almost in fear.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Yes, Ed, this is for the best. They'll give us a home. A place to be safe. A-away from… all of this.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> No they won't. They'll make us their soldiers. We'd go against Bordrand's final wish for us.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Ed, no, who told you that?</p>
<p><<em>The Priest of the Church of the Broken God from before appears behind SCP-8659-B2, placing a hand on his shoulder, as he jumps in surprise.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> I am the one who told him the truth, ma'am.</p>
<p><strong>Mae:</strong> Damn tech freak, the hell are you-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Shut up! Listen, Scar, I know you don't trust these guys, but please, they're the only reason we're alive. These gauntlets, the suit I made, without them we'd be dead in a ditch somewhere. We owe them our lives.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> That's just your fucking ego talking.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> <<em>shocked</em>> What?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> These guys enabled you to do great stuff. They found a kid with tech powers and an inferiority complex, and lured him in with ideas of grandeur.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> You can't be fucking serious. I can think for myself! I'm not being indoctrinated!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> Then step away. You've received enough, surely? You don't need any more from them.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> They're the only ones who realize what I can do! Bordrand kept looking down at me. So have you and Aubrey! For the first time in my life, I finally have a purpose, and you won't let me go because you can't handle me walking away!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> That's not-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> SHUT THE FUCK UP! Just let me take control! That's what you want, right? To take a break from being our guardian?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> I want you all to be safe!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> I'm doing just that!</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 stays silent for a moment. Mae appears horrified. The Priest remains neutral.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> You have no reason to stop me. Just let me-</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B3 suddenly appears behind SCP-8659-B2, pointing a rifle at him. Additionally, seven members of various mobile task forces appear with them, and form a circle around SCP-8659-B2, B4, B5, and the Priest. Agent Douglas is a part of the group.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Douglas:</strong> Nobody move. You are all to be taken into Foundation custody. Do not resist.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> Aubrey? What are you doing?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Preventing you two morons from tearing us apart.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B2:</strong> God damn it, Aubrey! Why can't you trust me to make the right choice!?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> I don't care who's right or wrong! You and Scar are at each other's throats, and for what? Are we not family? I can't lose you guys, and I know neither of you could survive separated. This is what's best for us.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> For you, maybe, but not for me.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Scar, please don't make this difficult.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> I've had enough. You're right, Ed. I just couldn't handle not being the one in charge, the protector. But I don't care now. You wanna know something? I always hated Bordrand. With a capital H. He never showed me kindness. He never comforted me when I cried, or reassured me that everything would be ok. He just wanted to mold me into another weapon, with the sole purpose of protecting you guys. It's all he knew.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> We'll all be safe, you won't have to-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> My life was always about you guys. I couldn't be my own person, couldn't wander off, couldn't find love, because Bordrand was always there. I took so many hits for you guys, and I've had enough. Goodbye.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 turns around and begins walking away. A door appears in thin air, and Mae leads the way through it. SCP-8659-B7 cries in SCP-8659-B1's arms, but she does nothing to comfort her. SCP-8659-B3 points their weapon at SCP-8659-B1.</em>></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Stop, Scar! Please come back!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> You've grown up, I can see. You don't need me.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B3:</strong> Don't you love us!?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8659-B1:</strong> More than anything. Goodbye, all of you. I hope to see you again one day.</p>
<p><<em>SCP-8659-B1 vanishes. During the silence, the Priest holds up a staff, and activates it, with it glowing a bright blue color.</em>></p>
<p><strong>Priest:</strong> I'm sorry, if that means anything.</p>
<p><<em>A bolt of electricity flies out from the staff, stunning the mobile task force and SCP-8659-B3. The Priest grabs SCP-8659-B4 and B5, who scream in protest, and then calls out for SCP-8659-B2 to follow. He and SCP-8659-B3 make eye contact, before he runs away, turning invisible along with the Priest and SCP-8659-B4 and B5. SCP-8659-B3 slams a fist on the ground, and screams.</em>></p>
<p><<em>They stumble forward, and collide with something unseen. SCP-8659-B6 suddenly appears, and the two embrace, both of them crying.</em>></p>
<p><<em>The feed ends</em>></p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum 8659.7:</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p>SCP-8659-B3 and SCP-8659-B6 are currently the only subjects of SCP-8659 that are contained by the Foundation. Due to their cooperative nature, they are both held in standard humanoid cells, despite SCP-8659-B3's potential for easy escape. The ability to teleport others seems difficult for them, and they haven't successfully done it in Foundation custody yet.</p>
<p>The whereabouts of the remaining members of SCP-8659-B are currently unknown. SCP-8659-B1 and SCP-8659-B7 are believed to still be in the Wanderer's Library, while SCP-8659-B2, B4, and B5 are likely still with the Church of the Broken God. SCP-8659-B3 is adamant in wanting to help contain their siblings.</p>
<p>SCP-8659-A remains where it died. It is completely immovable from its current position. The Church of the Broken God has determined it to not be an artifact of their god, rather being created by an unknown other group.</p>
<p>The remaining subjects of SCP-8659-B are to be taken into Foundation custody as soon as possible.</p>

<p>SCP-8662 with the majority of SCP-8662-1 removed, prior to retrieval. When SCP-8662 reached Site-65, the trunk had reached full capacity.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8662 is to be kept in a refrigerated, dry containment chamber, designation Containment Chamber α12. Assigned level 1 personnel must remove <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">at least</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">4</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">8</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">16</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">32</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">kilograms</span> as much SCP-8662-1 as possible per day. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">The rear trunk of SCP-8662 must always be closed when leaving its containment chamber.</span> The door to its containment chamber must be closed as soon as any SCP-8662-1 is removed.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8662 is a red 2003 Honda Civic with a trunk completely filled with smooth peanut butter (SCP-8662-1). SCP-8662 was discovered in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan after its owner was pulled over by local law enforcement during a routine traffic stop. Foundation agents within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police retrieved SCP-8662 from a civilian impound lot after the owner of the lot reported that SCP-8662-1 had seemed to be multiplying and transported it to Site-65 for containment.</p>
<p>When any volume of SCP-8662-1 is removed from SCP-8662, the remaining SCP-8662-1 will undergo a process of duplication which continues until it fills <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">the trunk of SCP-8662</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Containment Chamber α12</span> the west wing of Site-65. Replacing the removed SCP-8662-1 does not halt the duplication process. The speed at which this process occurs is relative to the amount of SCP-8662-1 removed with an unknown maximum.</p>
<p>When SCP-8662-1 reaches the volume of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">the trunk of SCP-8662</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Containment Chamber α12</span> the west wing of Site-65, it will stop duplicating, unless given access to another area. Access must be through an open door, window, or other stationary opening. Testing has shown that SCP-8662-1 will attempt to fill Containment Chamber α12 before it moves on to other parts of the facility, allowing it to be contained with regular removal.</p>
<p>Initial testing shows that any removed SCP-8662-1 does not contain the necessary properties to duplicate, and is safe for human consumption. Body scans show no anomalous effects, outside of a minor increase in dopamine production, slightly above the normal range after consuming food. Site staff are <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">permitted</span> encouraged to requisition <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">a reasonable</span> any amount of SCP-8662-1 <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">for personal use</span>. Excess SCP-8662-1 must be <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">incinerated</span> kept in site storage until the incinerator can be repaired.</p>

<p>Hi Clarence,</p>
It's very nice to hear from you! Your email was a nice, unexpected surprise. How are the wife and kids? I hear the weather up there is pretty cold this time of year.<br/>
Anyways, unfortunately, your request for additional funding for Site-65 was denied by regional administration. But you're resourceful! I'm sure you'll find extra room in your budget for everything that needs to be repaired. After all, your site's been containing the same anomalies for years. I'm sure you'll figure it out.<br/>
Keep me in the loop if SCP-8662 turns out to be something interesting. Otherwise, I'll be up for a visit sometime after the snow thaws!<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup><br/>

<h4 id="toc0"><span>FROM THE DESK OF THE SITE DIRECTOR</span></h4>
<p>01/07/16<br/>
Memorandum to all staff:</p>
<p>Initial trials for SCP-8662 and SCP-8662-1 have been completed. As SCP-8662-1 has been deemed safe for consumption, site staff can now requisition a portion of SCP-8662-1 for personal use. Site staff are asked to use SCP-8662-1 in a responsible, cautious manner, and are reminded that SCP-8662-1 is still in containment, and is not to be removed from Site-65. SCP-8662-1 can be requisitioned from <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Cafeteria Manager</span> Nutrient Overseer Dobbs, then retrieved from Containment Chamber α12 (Formerly Site-65 Cafeteria Cold Storage).</p>

<p><strong>Incident 8662-A</strong></p>
<p>On 01/07/16 <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Cafeteria Manager</span> Nutrient Overseer Reginald Dobbs opted to include SCP-8662-1 as part of the daily on-site lunch menu. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Cafeteria Manager</span> Nutrient Overseer Dobbs neglected to mention the addition of SCP-8662-1 or mention a potential allergy risk. Dr. Samir Pakan, who has a severe peanut allergy, was half way through a chocolate banana smoothie when <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Cafeteria Manager</span> Nutrient Overseer Dobbs remembered the allergy. Dr. Pakan was rushed to the medical station to be given an epinephrine injection, however, he did not show any symptoms of an allergic reaction on the way there. Site medical staff determined that while bio-identical to peanut butter, Dr. Pakan shows no allergenic symptoms to SCP-8662-1.</p>

<h4 id="toc1"><span>FROM THE DESK OF THE SITE DIRECTOR</span></h4>
<p>01/08/16<br/>
Memorandum to all staff:</p>
<p>As per Foundation food provisions guidelines, any food served in the cafeteria needs to be labeled for allergens. Since SCP-8662-1 has many similarities to peanut butter, this includes SCP-8662-1. It is noted that <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Cafeteria Manager</span> Nutrient Overseer Dobbs has issued a formal apology to Dr. Pakan due to the inclusion of SCP-8662-1 in yesterday's lunch, and site medical staff have determined that Dr. Pakan's peanut allergy does not extend to SCP-8662-1.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>Incident 8662-B</strong></p>
<p>On 01/10/16, after completing requisition requests for SCP-8662-1, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Cafeteria Manager</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Nutrient Overseer</span> Cafeteria Manager Reginald Dobbs was locking up the containment chamber for SCP-8662, but neglected to close the trunk of SCP-8662. This resulted in a containment breach as SCP-8662-1 had pushed out beyond the locked door of its containment chamber, and into the cafeteria of Site-65. On-site crews were able to clean up the additional SCP-8662-1 and incinerate it. However, this removal resulted in SCP-8662-1's regeneration speed to increase dramatically, making it impossible to contain it inside of the trunk of SCP-8662. Due to the alarming rate of SCP-8662-1 production, testing will commence on a new minimum daily volume for removal.</p>

<p>01/12/16<br/>
Memorandum to all staff:</p>
<p>Due to the incident yesterday involving SCP-8662-1 and Dr. Pakan's office, site staff are reminded that due to the nature of the Foundation, acquiring trained and efficient janitorial staff with proper security clearance is extremely difficult. This is not an appropriate way to test the limits of Dr. Pakan's lack of allergic reaction to SCP-8662-1. I have approved overtime for any site staff who wishes to assist with removing SCP-8662-1 from the walls of Dr. Pakan's office, and I would like to remind staff that any future 'pranks' such as this will be met with disciplinary action.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure filling the trunk of my car with SCP-8662-1 is a violation of the ethics code. I have no idea how you managed to get that much SCP-8662-1 in there.

<p><strong>Incident 8662-C</strong></p>
<p>On 01/26/16, Site Director Johnson ordered the incineration of all SCP-8662-1 outside of the trunk of SCP-8662. Despite the best efforts of site staff, the regeneration rate of SCP-8662-1 outpaced removal efforts. The sheer volume of SCP-8662-1 that was removed has caused permanent damage to the site's incinerator, leaving it in a state of disrepair. SCP-8662-1 was successfully re-contained in its containment chamber, and the removed SCP-8662-1 was put into site storage. After this incident, Site Director Johnson put in for a four-day leave of absence.</p>
<p><strong>Incident 8662-D</strong></p>
<p>On 01/28/16, due to severe neglect from site staff, there was a containment breach as SCP-8662-1 had expanded out of its containment chamber, and filled up the Site-65 cafeteria. It then further expanded into the hallways until it took up the entire West Wing. It is unknown which member of staff was responsible for the breach, but it is assumed that someone must have faked clearance above the site director to open the containment chamber. Investigations are ongoing.</p>
<p><strong>Interview: Incident 8662-D</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Interviewed:</strong> Cafeteria Manager Reginald Dobbs, Site-65</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Site-65 Director Dr. Clarence Johnson</p>
<p><strong>In Attendance:</strong> Captain Alexandra du Flay, head of Security, Site-65</p>
<p><strong>Foreword:</strong> This interview was prompted by Site Director Johnson, who believed that Cafeteria Manager Dobbs was behind incidents related to Incident 8662-C.</p>
<p><strong><Begin Log, 01/31/16 10:15></strong></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Johnson:</strong> OK Dobbs, I know this was you. Fess up. You left the door open to Containment Chamber α12 and caused SCP-8662-1 to breach containment.</p>
<p>Cafeteria Manager Dobbs does not respond.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Johnson:</strong> We have all day. If I can't get an confession out of you, I'll have [Captain du Flay] beat it out of you.</p>
<p>Cafeteria Manager Dobbs does not respond.</p>
<p>Sounds of movement are heard as Director Johnson gets up from his chair to get closer to Cafeteria Manager Dobbs.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Johnson:</strong> Oh god dammit!</p>
<p>Director Johnson exits the room hurriedly. A door slams, and the sound of peanut butter hitting a carpeted floor can be heard.</p>
<p><strong><End Log, 01/31/16 19:17></strong></p>
<p><strong>Closing Statement:</strong> The recording ended after the tape ran out. After leaving, Director Johnson retired to his office and locked himself inside for a number of hours. Captain du Flay later reported that neither she nor Cafeteria Manager Dobbs were present in the room, and Director Johnson was talking to life-sized statues of them made out of SCP-8662-1. The creator of the statues is unknown.</p>

<p>It had been an exhausting day for Lucille Riverson — really, an exhausting week — but at long last, she had arrived home: late, hungry, and in no good humor, but home. She'd have the whole day tomorrow for herself and her daughter, time enough to make good on many promises long delayed. For now, though, all she wanted was peace, and the luxury of releasing her burdens. She set most of them down at the vestibule, turned the light on, and took her shoes off. Her daughter was probably asleep by—</p>
<p>"Mom?! Is that you?!"</p>
<p>A voice called out to her, shrill with terror. Lucille's weariness was forgotten as panic and uncertainty took over.</p>
<p>"Amanda?! Where are you?"</p>
<p>"In the kitchen! Hurry!"</p>
<p>Lucille nearly slipped as she raced through the living room; the house was in severe disarray, as if it had been broken into. A shelf had been knocked over, scattering its contents (including slivers of glass Lucille heedlessly darted over), pictures had been dislodged from the wall, a lamp laid sideways, and a mass of flowers and broken ceramic greeted her as she scurried down a hallway and around a corner, bursting into her kitchen. She called for her daughter again, flicking the lights on.</p>
<p>"Mom," she heard Amanda wail, hyperventilating frantically, "help me!"</p>
<p>Lucille feared the worst and looked around, seeing nothing.</p>
<p>"Where are you?!" she cried. She looked left, right, in all the dark crannies… It took a moment before she found her answer.</p>
<p>She looked up.</p>
<p>She gasped.</p>
<p>There was her daughter, huddled helplessly in the corner, crying and shivering.</p>
<p>Stuck tight on the kitchen ceiling.</p>

<p><strong>Item Number:</strong> SCP-8663</p>
<p><strong>Containment Class:</strong> Euclid</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Containment and care of SCP-8663-A is completely under the purview of Site-203 therapist Dr. Lucille Riverson. SCP-8663-A resides in Containment Chamber 411, and is to be given basic amenities and various minor privileges. Handrails are positioned along the ceiling, walls, and floor of the living quarters, bathroom, and bedroom. SCP-8663-A must be escorted by Dr. Riverson whenever she leaves her room. A disused hangar adjacent to Site-203 has been designated for SCP-8663-A's testing, exercise, and recreation.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8663 is a phenomenon affecting a human adolescent female named Amanda Riverson (SCP-8663-A). The anomaly renders 8663-A in a perpetual levitated state, to the point of 8663-A being completely incapable of positioning her feet upon any upright surface. SCP-8663-A's mobility is otherwise unimpeded by gravitational force, enabling her to transition between points via flotation. SCP-8663-A cannot alter her position at will, nor is she capable of accelerating or decelerating at will; outside interference may alter or halt SCP-8663-A's trajectory.</p>
<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> The anomaly was first discovered two days prior to SCP-8663-A's arrival at Site-203. Dr. Riverson had returned home after work to find the subject on the ceiling, calling for help. After various unsuccessful attempts to bring the subject to the surface, Dr. Riverson contacted the Foundation, and had her transferred to Site-203, where she could monitor the subject more closely.</p>

<p>"You did the right thing," Director Talbot said. His tone was stony, dispassionate, but strong and calming. Together they watched as the girl floated back and forth on the ceiling of the Containment Chamber.</p>
<p>"Did I, though," Lucille muttered, hugging herself as she shuddered. Her daughter's placid fluidity was a deceptive veneer. If Amanda had been outdoors when it had happened, had started floating up and up with nothing to stop her… "I hesitated," Lucille added. "I waited so long. I tried to…talk myself out of it so many times. It was personal, though: you understand."</p>
<p>Talbot nodded. "It couldn't have been easy."</p>
<p>"Are you kidding me?" she scoffed. "Do you think I expected to see this when I came home? Do you think I approached it rationally and…clinically?" She regurgitated the last word, nearly feeling the bile rise as she watched her daughter floating around, trying to make sense of her position. She halted as she came to a wall, grasping the handrail that had been installed two hours ago. She looked up, pulling on it slightly, ascending until her fingers touched the ceiling. The girl carefully laid her body against it, folded her hands, and stared in contemplative silence at the floor below her.</p>
<p>"I didn't even sleep," Lucille continued, her voice as weightless as the girl in the chamber. "I couldn't. I spent most of my time trying to be the adult — the mother — in the situation. Rational, calm, decisive. Trying to figure out what happened, how I could help. Going through all sorts of stupid homebrew experiments, anything to get her down again. Trying not to lose my mind."</p>
<p>"I couldn't possibly imagine what you had went through," Talbot admitted. Lucille just nodded.</p>
<p>"I may have had a nervous breakdown or two. Not…in front of Amanda; I had to be tough for her, show her that I had everything under control. But that didn't last long. Eventually it all came crashing down on me and…well, you know the rest."</p>
<p>Talbot nodded. The phone call. The unmarked van. Bialowieski and Shulen in the front seats, professional and courteous. Trying to put Amanda's mind at ease, tell her they could help, while Lucille held tight to her daughter's hand. How she had to duck inside the van. How she was unable to sit down, so she curled up on the top, her arm dangling down as her mother grasped it. The ride over, where Lucille tried to explain what she did for a living.</p>
<p>Why she had been absent for so many of her daughter's most important moments.</p>
<p>Why she could never make promises, because she didn't know if she'd be able to keep them.</p>
<p>Alice entering Wonderland as the gate for Site-203 opened. The long walk down cold hallways, Lucille leading her daughter like a balloon. Talbot reaching up to shake her hand. Discussions. Conferences. Lucille refusing to leave her daughter's side.</p>
<p>Studies. Experiments. A Containment Chamber. You did the right thing.</p>
<p>Lucille sighed. "What happens now?"</p>
<p>"More research." Talbot met her bleary gaze, shrugging helplessly. "The way I see it, your daughter has two futures in store for her: either this anomaly is understood to the point where we can treat, remove, or neutralize it, or she learns to live with it."</p>
<p>"And the Foundation doesn't usually neutralize anomalies," Lucille recited emptily. Talbot took a deep breath.</p>
<p>"I'll make sure you're the head researcher on the matter," he said. "You'll get to select your own team, make your own schedule, fine-tune your own reports… I know it isn't much, but it's the best I can offer."</p>
<p>"I appreciate that," she murmured. She put her hand against the bulletproof glass, staring intently at the ceiling, her daughter still in a meditative state of upside-down relaxation. Talbot silently dismissed himself, touching Lucille's shoulder in a temporary gesture of encouragement. She remained at the window until her daughter fell asleep.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum:</strong> Tests have concluded that SCP-8663-A's hair, bodily fluids, and skin cells are unaffected by the anomaly. As SCP-8663-A's musculature is affected in a similar manner as astronauts in low-gravity environments, a daily exercise regiment has been implemented.</p>

<p>"Amanda."</p>
<p>Lucille waited patiently for her daughter to answer. She didn't.</p>
<p>"Amanda, could you come here, please?"</p>
<p>Silence.</p>
<p>"Aren't you hungry?"</p>
<p>Lucille took a deep breath. Still no answer.</p>
<p>"If you have something on your mind, Amanda, just say it."</p>
<p>Another frustrating pause. Finally, Amanda muttered, "So now you have time for me? Now that I'm a freak?"</p>
<p>"All right, so you're angry at me," Lucille noted, crossing her arms. "That's something, at least. Who's calling you a freak, Amanda? I didn't. Director Talbot certainly didn't. Did one of the researchers—"</p>
<p>"But isn't that what I am now?" Amanda looked down as she sat cross-legged on the ceiling. She ran a hand through her hair, taking out a loose strand, which she let fall.</p>
<p>"No, Amanda," her mother insisted calmly. "You're simply the focal point of an anomalous phenomenon."</p>
<p>"Try saying that five times fast," the girl grumbled. Her mother frowned.</p>
<p>"And we don't know anything about it, aside from what it does and who it's focused on. That's why we're having you take all these tests."</p>
<p>"So I'm a lab rat."</p>
<p>"No, you—"</p>
<p>"Or I'm a case. A study. Part of your job. That's the only reason you're paying attention to me."</p>
<p>"That's not <em>true</em>. It—"</p>
<p>"Am I wrong?!" Amanda roared, glaring at her mother from her perch. Lucille stared hotly, trembling from frustration and helplessness and…</p>
<p>And guilt.</p>
<p>"My work is important, sweetheart," she said solemnly. "Just as important to me as you are. I'm trying to balance my time between the two, but…you're right, I'm not very good at it. But I want to be better, and…convenient or not, this is the best way to go about doing it. So I'm here, now, for you, exclusively."</p>
<p>Lucille waited for her daughter to say something. Or maybe Amanda just wanted to be silent. That was fine, too. She wasn't going anywhere.</p>
<p>"Do you think you can fix me?" she eventually murmured.</p>
<p>"We have to understand this anomaly first, sweetheart," Lucille answered.</p>
<p>"How long does that take?"</p>
<p>"I have no idea," her mother sighed. "It could be in the next hour, or it could be never." She swallowed and quickly added, "I know that sounds awful, but…you want me to be transparent with you, right? Tell you the truth, respect your time and intelligence."</p>
<p>A moment, hanging in time, right there on the ceiling.</p>
<p>"Have you ever fixed any anomaly before?"</p>
<p>"The Foundation has explained a few, yes. Some anomalies even neutralize on their own—like a peculiarity that comes and goes."</p>
<p>"Have <em>you</em>?" she emphasized. Lucille shook her head.</p>
<p>"That's normally not my job. I council the staff at 203, try and help them through their issues. Sometimes I talk to people like you. I help out with personal problems, keep people from self-destruction. Or self-depreciation." Amanda slowly stood, righted herself, and drifted away from the ceiling, down to face her mother. Her feet hovered a few centimeters off the ground.</p>
<p>"What other people have you helped? I mean like me."</p>
<p>Lucille smirked. "Well, I helped <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7716">a woman who makes lions appear whenever she enters a room</a>."</p>
<p>Amanda chuckled, the first time she had smiled since this debacle began. "Really?"</p>
<p>"Yes. We worked out some of her problems and now she's better-adjusted."</p>
<p>"What about the lions?"</p>
<p>"They still appear, but she has a better understanding of them. Sometimes my patients have to learn to live with what they have."</p>
<p>Amanda looked down, where her feet floated stubbornly in mid-air. "Like me?"</p>
<p>"Each case is different. I can't tell you what's going to happen: I can only <em>help</em> you, as best as I can. The Director and the other researchers are going to help you as well."</p>
<p>There was a long silence as Amanda contemplated this. She reached her hands out; as her mother reached for her, she pushed her fingers against the older woman's palms, floating backwards slowly.</p>
<p>"What happens if you can get rid of it?"</p>
<p>"Lots of red tape to go through," Lucille sighed, already fearing the mountain of paperwork she'd have to shovel through in this potential best-case scenario. "But eventually you'd go back home and… Well, I mean, we'd probably just blot out everything that hap—"</p>
<p>"I mean with us. With <em>this</em>." Amanda's eyes glimmered with intent, her voice heavy and grim. Lucille felt herself sinking. If she no longer had to treat her daughter as an anomaly, then…</p>
<p>They'd go back to the way things were.</p>
<p>Distant. Absent. Trains in the night.</p>
<p>"Let's focus on one thing at a time first," Lucille answered, noncommittal and toothless. "I'd like to run a little experiment tomorrow. How would you like to go for a swim?"</p>
<p>Her daughter gave her a confused look. "Like in a pool?"</p>
<p>"Yes, a pool. We have one next to our arboretum."</p>
<p>Her daughter still appeared bewildered. "So you just want me to swim? I kind of do that already, only in the air."</p>
<p>"I'd like to see what happens when we put you in water. It'll only take an hour or so." Amanda considered it and shrugged, apparently onboard with the idea. Her mother smiled, then asked if she was hungry yet. Amanda nodded enthusiastically.</p>

<p>"What do you <em>mean</em> you're going home?"</p>
<p>"I just have some things I need to take care of," Lucille muttered, trying to keep her patience. "It'll only be for a day."</p>
<p>"How come <em>you</em> get to go home and I <em>don't</em>?"</p>
<p>"You already know the answer to that," she sighed shortly.</p>
<p>"It's because I'm a freak, isn't it?! Because I'm like those other things you keep locked up in here!"</p>
<p>Lucille fought to maintain composure. "No, it's because we don't know if you'll float away if you're taken outside without supervision." She glared at her daughter, daring her to argue. Daring someone who was barely a teenager to presume anything.</p>
<p>"I won't float away," Amanda grumbled, as she did just that. "I told you, I still follow all of Newton's laws. An object in motion and…so forth and so on."</p>
<p>"And what if an outside force causes you to float upwards without anything to stop you? Amanda…" Lucille tried calming down. Lowering her voice. Speaking practically. Clinical tone. Doctor to patient. "We've talked about this. You're not in here because you're a freak. You're here for your own safety. You can't go home because I can't keep you safe if you leave. I just—"</p>
<p>"Then just take me with you in the van, like you did when you brought me here! I want to go home."</p>
<p>"Sweetie, I know you do. I really, truly do."</p>
<p>"You don't. You're just leaving me here so you can take a break. You're sick of looking after me and now you want to go somewhere else."</p>
<p>Lucille's stomach knotted as she said nothing.</p>
<p>"That's why you were never around before. I should have went with dad."</p>
<p>Silence. Lucille had no defense.</p>
<p>"Well, you're here now, with me. I just need to take care of some stuff. I'll be back tomorrow."</p>
<p>Perhaps a change of tone was in order?</p>
<p>"You know, most teenagers would love to be by themselves for long periods of time. No parents, no rules."</p>
<p>"Yeah, in their own home. Not in…" Amanda gestured, her face curdling. "A place like this."</p>
<p>"Amanda, I'm not going to discuss this anymore. I'm already running late."</p>
<p>"Late for what? Our home's still going to be there when you leave."</p>
<p>Lucille sighed as she felt her patience wringing out. "That's enough; I'm leaving. I've asked Talbot to give you some extra books and movies. If you want some company, just ask him."</p>
<p>Now it was Amanda's turn to be silent. Lucille bit down on her frustration. Tried to remember what it was like being a teenager. How nobody took her seriously. How nobody listened. How everyone looked down on her, judged her, thought she was stupid.</p>
<p>"Amanda." A rally against the emptiness. "If you're that upset, put your feelings into something constructive. Come up with ways that I can do better while I'm gone. I promise I'll listen to you. That's…my job. I'll always listen to you."</p>
<p>She left without hearing a response. She didn't come back the next day.</p>

<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Addendum:</strong> An interview with SCP-8663-A, conducted by Senior Researcher Bialowieski.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Good morning, Amanda! Do you remember me? I helped Shulen and your mother bring you here. Oh, sorry: do you prefer Amanda, or Ms. Riverson?</p>
<p><em>(silence)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> You're not gonna call me SCP-8663-A?</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Do you want me to?</p>
<p><em>(silence)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> Amanda's fine. <em>Amanda</em>—not Mandy.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Very well: Amanda. Oh, don't bother calling me Mr. Bialowieski: nobody here can pronounce it except the Director. Just "Reuben" will do.</p>
<p><em>(silence)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> Okay. So what do you do here?</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Well, I mostly perform psychological, sociological, and anthropological assessments on various peoples, groups, and entities, within and without the Foundation. To put it plainly, I'm a people-person.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> Oh. Is that why you're talking to me?</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> No, it's because I drew the short straw. <em>(silence. Bialowieski laughs.)</em> I'm kidding. Your mother asked me to. She's run into a few things—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> She doesn't want to be around me.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Oh? Why do you say that?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> Because she was never around when I needed her. She was never there for me. <em>(silence)</em> She missed out on my birthday at least three times.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> But she's been by your side ever since you were brought in. You've run tests together, you've eaten together; she's even put a sleeping bag in here so she can sleep in the same room as you. Even our most devoted staff members don't usually go to those lengths.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> That's only because I'm part of her work now.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Well, yes, that is an inarguable side-effect. But your mother doesn't normally deal with anomalies. In fact, if you weren't her daughter, you'd probably have to deal with me instead, or maybe one of the other researchers. Of course, being sapient, Lucy would likely be called in to speak with you, even though she's not a child psychologist…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> I'm not a child, I'm thirteen.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Oh, forgive me, I tend to ramble and mutter a bit. Would you like to talk about your condition?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> There isn't much to say. I can't touch the ground with my feet, so I float. It's just that simple.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Your mother says this happened when she returned home late one day. How long were you floating before she came by?</p>
<p><em>(silence)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> I think maybe five hours. I was excited at first — I mean, who wouldn't be — but then I realized I couldn't control my powers, so I just ended up bumping around a lot, like astronauts in space. I, uh…broke a lot of things. Eventually I wedged myself into the ceiling and waited for her to show up. I waited a long time. <em>(silence)</em> It's a miracle she showed up at all.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> <em>(sighs)</em> Perhaps. She was busier than usual that day, if I recall. Would you happen to know what prompted this flotation?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> No. I was just walking to my room when I started hovering all of a sudden. My feet went from the floor to the air, just like that.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> I see. Would you say you have a better understanding of your situation now, a better control of it?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> I guess so. I watched a lot of videos and documentaries about how people move around in space, and I just did what they did. That's helped a lot. I've been reading a lot of physics books, too.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Was that a subject you had any interest in before?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> No, I didn't really have a subject that I liked. Reading, maybe.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Well, we could probably help you along with your education if you want.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> So you have schools and classrooms for people like me?</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Not exactly. Let's just say that <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5094">we have access to some very good teachers</a>. Would you be interested in that? It beats floating around doing nothing. <em>(silence)</em> May I ask what you do in your spare time?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> Read. Watch videos and movies. <em>(silence)</em> Float around. I might try it out.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Good, I'm sure Talbot will agree to it. If you get lonely, I could probably arrange for a few junior researchers to—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> No. I don't want them to do any more tests on me.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> I was just going to suggest that maybe they can keep you company if you like. Just so long as everyone follows the rules.</p>
<p><em>(silence)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> Will I ever get to go outside?</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Certainly — but again, you'd have to follow the rules — and your mother will be there with you.</p>
<p><em>(silence)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> Can I share something with you in confidence?</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Of course. This conversation's being recorded, but I can arrange so that parts are redacted. The perks of being a senior member of staff here.</p>
<p><em>(silence)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> Okay.</p>
<p>[REDACTED]</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> In any case, I think you should have a heart-to-heart with your mother.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> She said she'd be here today.</p>
<p><strong>Bialowieski:</strong> Hmm, yes, that is a problem. Let me… <em>(Bialowieski sends Riverson a text message, and receives a reply.)</em> Want to know what she says? <em>(silence)</em> Maybe you can talk about that when she comes by later. It'll be very late in the evening, but she will keep her word.</p>
<p><em>(silence)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8663-A:</strong> All right. I guess that's fine.</p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<hr/>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>"Hi, Amanda. I'm sorry I'm running late today. Can I come in?"</p>
<p>Amanda floated slowly, facing the ceiling as she read a book.</p>
<p>"I guess."</p>
<p>Her mother entered the code to unlock the containment chamber and walked in. Accompanying her was a young man with a scarred face.</p>
<p>"You're angry with me," Lucille sighed, "aren't you?" She looked up at her daughter, frustrated and stressful, anxious and impatient, hopeful and desperate, filled with regret and promise.</p>
<p>She didn't get a reply.</p>
<p>"I had more to do at home than I thought," Lucille said, crossing her arms. She attempted to smile and added, "A lot of chores piled up while you were gone. I had to do them all since I didn't have you there to help." She frowned, fumbling with her hands. "Did you eat?"</p>
<p>"Yeah. Taco salad. I'm kind of getting sick of cake, though."</p>
<p>Lucille chuckled. "You? Sick of cake?"</p>
<p>"<a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-871">It's the same one every day.</a> I'm sick of eating it."</p>
<p>"You and me both, kid," the scarred man blurted out. Amanda whirled around to face him, dropping her book. He grinned, picked it off the floor, and held it up. "Sorry, I didn't want to interrupt your mother-daughter moment. I'm Liang Zhishen, I work here at 203. You can just call me Shen."</p>
<p>Amanda floated over and grabbed the book from him. "Oh, hi. Did Reuben send you?"</p>
<p>"Yeah, he figured I was the best one for the job. I'm used to being an older brother, so this is like revisiting familiar territory for me." He glanced awkwardly at Lucille. "Uh, do you want me to leave you two alone?"</p>
<p>"I just wanted you two to meet. Liang's going to be keeping you company every so often, Amanda. I'd like it if you two got along." Amanda just shrugged, which caused Shen to laugh. He excused himself and vowed to come by the next day for breakfast, but before he left, Amanda floated over to one of the handrails along the wall and used it to guide herself down. She then planted her feet on the wall, perpendicular to her mother.</p>
<p>"Shen, will you be honest with me for a moment?"</p>
<p>"Of course."</p>
<p>She hesitated. "Am I the strangest thing you've seen?"</p>
<p>"Hardly," he scoffed. "My first assignment here was to investigate a van that could instantly go anywhere, even into space and other dimensions. The drawback was that it gave you <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6149">horrible hallucinations</a> while you were in it. One of my coworkers drove clear to Mongolia when she tested it. You don't even want to know what she was babbling about when we caught up to her."</p>
<p>Amanda giggled. "What else have you seen?"</p>
<p>"Oh, I'll save that for later," he grinned, excusing himself shortly.</p>
<p>In a moment Lucille was alone with her daughter.</p>
<p>"I'm sorry you can't go home, sweetheart," she whispered ruefully. Amanda frowned.</p>
<p>"What kept you?"</p>
<p>"I had to settle some things at your school. I told your principal that I wanted to move you closer to where I worked so I wouldn't have to commute quite so far, which is close enough to the truth. Did…you have any friends you wanted to say goodbye to?"</p>
<p>"Not really." Lucille frowned, not knowing whether to be relieved that her daughter didn't have to be torn apart from any social circles, or concerned about their absence.</p>
<p>"Well, tomorrow I'd like to take you somewhere. That means you'll be outside for a moment."</p>
<p>Amanda smiled timidly but said nothing.</p>
<p>"You'll be harnessed to me; is that all right?"</p>
<p>"You mean like a dog?" she grumbled incredulously. Lucille chuckled.</p>
<p>"No, more like a balloon. Amanda Riverson, the human parade float!"</p>
<p>"That's not funny, mom," she said. Lucille asked if her daughter needed anything; she didn't; she said she'd be going to bed soon — at the Site, not at home, there were plenty of bunks for everyone — Amanda stopped her, handing over a folded-up paper.</p>
<p>"You can read it whenever," she mumbled. Lucille decided to read it immediately.</p>
<p>The page was completely blank.</p>
<p>"What does this mean, Amanda?" Lucille pressed. Her daughter hovered away quietly.</p>
<p>"I couldn't think of anything."</p>
<p>"Any…?"</p>
<p>"A way you could do better," she admitted grudgingly. "Any way you could help. I couldn't think of anything."</p>
<p>Lucille stood motionless for a moment, contemplating the paper and her daughter. She placed the paper on a table.</p>
<p>"Keep it, in case you think of something. Good night."</p>
<p>"Night."</p>
<p>Lucille sighed as she left the room. The overwhelming helplessness of her situation crushed down like merciless iron. Sleep did little to alleviate.</p>

<p>Amanda winced as the gate opened and her mother led her outdoors. The security guards eyed her placidly, one politely tipping their helmet as the girl floated past. A rope and harness linked Amanda with her mother but it hung loose as their hands clasped. The guards kept a vigilant eye out as Lucille strolled across the property to an enclosed gazebo that served as an outdoor break area for the staff at 203. Amanda ducked underneath the awning, temporarily releasing her grasp on her mother; Lucille set aside a warm thermos she had brought with her.</p>
<p>"Well, you're outside," she stated.</p>
<p>Amanda said nothing.</p>
<p>"A bit drizzly, isn't it?"</p>
<p>Amanda grunted. Her mother took a deep breath.</p>
<p>"This is where I take some of my patients," she said, gesturing around her. "I lead them here, sit down with them, and…listen. I don't encourage them to talk, just listen. Hear what the world has to say. Silence allows us to be at our most reflective, when there's nothing to distract us. I then tell them to dwell on the situations or issues or feelings that are giving them the most trouble, to really conceptualize what's pressing upon them the most. Bring it out to the forefront. When they've got a good grasp of it, I tell my patients to look around them, to see how the world is shaped and ordered. How are our surroundings relevant to their circumstance?"</p>
<p>She smiled thinly and sat down. Amanda grabbed hold of one of the wooden poles holding up the roof.</p>
<p>"Right now, I'm feeling frustrated," her mother stated. "I feel powerless, helpless, frightened. I feel…like I want to do right by you, but things aren't going the way I need them to. I feel like you want to help me, but something's holding you back, and I'm losing my patience with that. I feel immense love. I feel like if we could just get past one little obstacle, then everything will work out and we can move on. But I'm lost, Amanda, lost and exhausted trying to find my way back. And I'd wish you'd help me. I feel like you're acting out of spite, and…maybe I deserve that, but I'm trying to do better, really. It's like…I'm trying to save you from drowning, but you're still angry about the way I steered the boat. Bad analogy, but that's how I feel."</p>
<p>She took a meditative breath.</p>
<p>"Then, I tell my patients to write a haiku about their feelings, and how that relates to what they see and hear around them. It's remarkably effective therapy, strange as it may sound. They don't have to share the haiku with me, I just want them to express themselves through it. Like this."</p>
<p>Lucille closed her eyes, sat perfectly still for a moment, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes again. Then she began to write:</p>
<p><em>A dreary, grey sky.</em><br/>
<em>My sunshine, drifting away.</em><br/>
<em>I reach out to grasp.</em></p>
<p>"Now you try." She held out a paper, a pen, a flat surface to write on. Amanda took them mutely and grumbled.</p>
<p>"Right now?"</p>
<p>"When you're ready," her mother assured her. In the meantime, she opened her thermos and poured a cup. When she emptied it, her daughter began:</p>
<p><em>I wished you were here.</em><br/>
<em>But what do I wish for now?</em><br/>
<em>I'm as lost as you.</em></p>
<p>"Do you want it?" Amanda said, offering. Her mother poured another cup.</p>
<p>"Trade you. It's tea."</p>
<p>They drank, and read. The rain came back gently. Lucille smiled.</p>
<p>"Director Talbot made that tea. I hope it's not too bitter."</p>
<p>"It's fine," Amanda replied meekly. "I kind of like it."</p>
<p>They drank another cup together in silence. Amanda sighed.</p>

<p>"Can I share something with you in confidence?"</p>
<p>Bialowieski smiled at the level of trust Amanda was placing in him — or perhaps she felt she could only open herself up to a stranger, someone who didn't know her very well. Someone who would judge her impartially.</p>
<p>"Of course. This conversation's being recorded, but I can arrange so that parts are redacted. The perks of being a senior member of staff here."</p>
<p>Amanda took a moment to gather her thoughts. "Okay. The truth is…I don't know if I want to go back to being normal."</p>
<p>Silence hung with her. Bialowieski waited patiently for her to continue.</p>
<p>"Like…my mother's been paying a lot more attention to me now. She's <em>there</em> for me, like you said. It may just be a part of her job, but…it makes me feel important to her." Amanda squirmed, fidgeting, expressing volumes in her stilted discomfort. Bialowieski simply nodded.</p>
<p>"And I kind of don't want this to go away. I mean, I <em>do</em>, but at the same time, I don't. Because then she'll…"</p>
<p>Amanda frowned. Sighed. Looked away.</p>
<p>"She won't have to be there for me. I mean…she won't <em>have</em> to," she emphasized with great acuity. "And if she doesn't have to, I…don't want things to go back to the way they were. Like does that even make sense? I want to be normal again but I don't want to, because…"</p>
<p>Bialowieski nodded. "I think I understand. A part of you wants to remain in this state, since Lucy's giving you the time and attention she once deprived you of, and yet you're deprived of the freedoms granted to people your age, and you want that back — but if that happens, you're afraid she'll leave you alone again. Did I summarize it correctly?"</p>
<p>She nodded. He sighed deeply. He, having never been particularly good with younger people, felt unqualified to dole out advice — and anything he did share would likely sound contrived, pretentious, or useless. This was, unfortunately, something the Riverson ladies would have to figure out on their own.</p>
<p>"A very ambivalent state of affairs. In any case, I think you should have a heart-to-heart with your mother."</p>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>
<p>"Hey, mom? Remember when I asked you what would happen if this anomalous thing went away?" She then recalled the paper and wrote something new on it: <strong>ANSWER ME</strong>. Lucille sighed.</p>
<p>"Like I said, lots of red tape. You've seen the movie <em>Men in Black</em>, yes? Remember those devices they used to erase people's memory? We'd do something like that with you. Make you forget that you floated. Then you'd go back to your normal life, but you'd be monitored. By me," she assured her.</p>
<p>"So you'd be around more often to keep an eye on me?"</p>
<p>"Yes. Is that what you want?"</p>
<p>The rain pittered, silvery harps drumming rhythmically.</p>
<p>"What about your job?"</p>
<p>"My work is certainly important to me," Lucille admitted. "But at least now you know why."</p>
<p>"Yeah," Amanda grumbled. "I understand. But you'd still be…doing it, right?"</p>
<p>"Ideally, yes."</p>
<p>"But you wouldn't…be gone all the time, either?"</p>
<p>"No, honey, I'd have to—" She caught herself. Looked up at her daughter's face. Reached out. Grabbed her sunshine.</p>
<p>"I'd have to have words with Talbot. I'd insist that it would be in his best interest for me to take better care of you, just in case. Or even if there was no 'just in case'. I'd really put my foot down. And if he didn't agree?"</p>
<p>Lucille beamed with triumphant love.</p>
<p>"Then I'd give him a piece of my mind." They shared a laugh; Amanda let go of the post and hovered freely. "But I doubt I'd need to do anything so dramatic. Talbot's a good man; he'll understand. He wouldn't dare lose his best-and-only therapist due to a…misunderstanding." Her eyes glinted, and Amanda grinned.</p>
<p>"But what if I'm stuck like this for the rest of my life?" she said, her face going dim. Her mother shrugged wistfully.</p>
<p>"Then we'll just have to make the best of it. I know it's tough, but…"</p>
<p>"It's fine, mom," she assured her, hovering closer. "I…I guess I'll get used to it." She hesitated, looked down, then faced her mother, smiling shyly. "If I have to."</p>
<p>They decided to call it a day before the rain got too heavy. Lucille hesitated slightly as she stood up.</p>
<p>"Amanda, I'd like to try one more thing. Humor me for a bit."</p>
<p>"Sure, what is it?" Lucille held her palms out flat and joined her hands together, making a platform. She nodded to her daughter, who — still tethered — floated upward until her feet were level with her mother's hands. Then, she gave her tether a slight tug, propelling herself forward. Amanda pressed the soles of her shoes to her mother's open palms and stationed herself.</p>
<p>She held still, gasping. Laughing. Crying.</p>
<p>"Oh my god, I'm standing!"</p>
<p>"Yep!" Lucille cried. "A real handstand!"</p>
<p>"Oh my god, mom!!" They laughed until they cried, mother shakily holding her daughter. Amanda bounded away gently and attempted to land on solid ground. Her shoes were stubbornly repulsed.</p>
<p>"Aww," she groaned, though her face was still lit beatifically in triumph. She let out a sigh. "Oh, well. That's good enough for now."</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8666 is a tape recording made by film director Marcus Roig, who perished in 1976 while producing an adaptation of <em>The Masque of the Red Death</em> by Edgar Allen Poe. This was to be a epic medieval horror adaptation which greatly expanded the plot. The first half of the film would focus on introducing six characters with independent narrative arcs that converged at a grand reverie thrown by Prince Prospero, which would comprise the second half of the film. Each character was thematically linked to one of the colors of the apartments from the original story — blue, purple, green, orange, white and violet. Prospero and the personification of the Red Death were each involved in the narratives of these plots, with the Red Death entity silently appearing in the background of several scenes, unacknowledged by the characters.</p>
<p>Production of this adaptation (to be entitled <em>An Age of Red Death</em>) was a notorious disaster, and was well-publicized at the time. It is believed that most — if not all — of the problems encountered during production were the result of anomalous activity, of which SCP-8666 is one of the only elements that remains active. Contemporary Foundation involvement was able to prevent widespread dissemination of any specific details of anomalous interference, but the general public regarded the project as "cursed".<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> This belief was helped by the release of the 1984 documentary "Roig's Red Death: A Fantasy", which was produced by the Foundation Department of Misinformation.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>SCP-8666 depicts an evidently unscripted scene of improv dialogue between Prince Prospero (played by Lukas Liston) and the Red Death (played by an unknown actor). Although the Red Death was played by actor Max Veidt during filming of <em>An Age of Red Death</em>, he has denied all involvement in the production of SCP-8666, and the costume fully obscures the wearer's identity. It is suspected — but not confirmed — that the Red Death depicted in SCP-8666 itself was an anomalous entity. The production quality of SCP-8666 is low, significantly lower than that of <em>An Age of Red Death</em>, and it appears that the scene is being filmed on a handheld camera operated by Marcus Roig himself, with no crew present other than the director and two actors. Roig can be audibly heard directing the scene.</p>
<p>The scene opens with Prospero bemoaning his lack of impact in averting the ravages of the Red Death, and musing that perhaps his revels are enough to last as a memory of himself. The Red Death is then spotted in the corner of the room. It is unclear how the Red Death enters the scene (either from a production or diegetic capacity), as the door is visible during Prospero's monologue, and the Red Death was not previously visible. Upon noticing the Red Death, Prospero begins angrily lambasting it, before the Red Death swiftly walks forward and cleanly slices Prospero's throat<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>. The Red Death then sweeps a candelabra to the ground, causing the carpet to catch fire. Roig (holding the camera) flees the room, and the film ends.</p>
<p>Anomalous effects begin when any person (henceforth referred to as "the viewer") watches the full video. Until the sun has next fully risen above the horizon in respect to the viewer's location, an anomalous figure wearing the Red Death costume will appear in all mirrors, reflections, photographs, and films containing the viewer. Fear responses upon observation are not anomalous, but believed to be wholly because of the appearance of the Red Death costume. It will typically appear at a distance, although it will steadily approach the viewer. Just before sunrise, it is typically almost touching the viewer's image.</p>
<hr/>
<h1 id="toc0"><span>Timeline of Production</span></h1>
<p>Marcus Roig had desired to produce an adaption of Edgar Allen Poe's <em>Masque of the Red Death</em> since at least 1960, at the start of his film production career. Following the success of his 1975 adaptation of <em>Steamboat Willie</em>, Marcus Roig was given funding by Cornerstone Cinema to produce his long awaited adaptation.</p>
<p>As Roig had already completed a script for the project in 1972 (co-authored with his longtime screenwriting partner Tetsuo Morgan), pre-production immediately began. Roig and Morgan flew to Europe to begin scouting locations for the film, while casting director Annette Sutton began to cast roles for the production. At this stage, she was primarily concerned with the lead roles of the film — Prince Prospero and the Red Death itself, both of which were to appear consistently throughout the film as well as crucially during the climax.</p>
<p>For the role of the Red Death, Sutton quickly cast Max Veidt, who was best known for playing the villain/monster in numerous arthouse and B-movie horror films during the 60's and 70's. Veidt had worked with Roig before on his second film, the 1966 <em><a href="/scp-6455">The Copycat!</a></em>, but they had not worked together since, as Roig had focused on mainstream movies since.</p>
<p>For the role of Prince Prospero, Sutton selected James McVane. This choice was apparently made due to studio direction from Cornerstone Cinema, who desired a well-known name to star in the film as the leading man. Sutton (and by phone, Roig) protested this choice, as the conventionally attractive McVane was a poor choice for their intended portrayal of Prince Prospero, who was seen as a repulsive hermit. Roig agreed to cast McVane under the condition that heavy makeup be applied, with Prince Prospero given significant wartime injuries.</p>
<p>However, tragedy soon struck.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<h2 id="toc1"><span>Annette Sutton on James McVane's death, <em>Roig's Red Death</em></span></h2>
<p>It was the strangest thing, you know. I was at dinner with him and Raphael Aldighieri — he was one of the producers we were working with at Cornerstone — to discuss the role. He hadn't signed on formally yet, as we were still trying to work things out with Marcus still in Europe doing his location scouting. That was a pain of its own, and look what we got out of it.</p>
<p>But there we were at dinner, and just before the entrees came, James dismissed himself to go to the bathroom. Raphael and I were a bit worried — it wasn't public, but we both knew that James had something of a coke habit. It hadn't interfered with any of his last pictures to the best of our knowledge, but we were a little worried that it might be getting worse, if that was what he was leaving the table to do. I have to admit there was a little gossip, which turned a bit sour as Raphael accused me of trying to use that as an excuse to get James out of the role — he knew we were looking for someone who paired a little better with Max. I mean, James McVane as a dramatic horror victim, the true villain of the thing? He was such a pretty boy, a leading role absolutely but not the kind for the despot of Prospero.</p>
<p>But then — then we heard <em>screaming</em>. I wish I could tell you we got up to check out the commotion but … well, we didn't think it had anything to do with us and it wouldn't be good if we got involved, would it? So we sat right where we were and joked we wished we had joined James for his coke break — it'd be a little excitement, you know. But then they started saying the name and oh my god. Oh my god.</p>
<p>James had … well, I don't know. They were never that conclusive about what happened. One of the only witnesses said it looked like James had jumped, but another said it was like something <em>pulled</em> him through the window. We were on the tenth floor, so I have to just assume the second person had a little too much of their own. Declared dead on the scene when the ambulances arrived.</p>
<p>You know, I turned to Raphael as soon as they rolled away and said, "Well, if the coke habit wasn't enough to get James out of the role, how about that?"</p>
</div>
<p>Roig immediately returned from Europe — wrapping up the location scout early — to attend McVane's funeral. With McVane dead, and in such a dramatic and public manner, it was necessary to recast the role, but most of the leading men that Cornerstone was interested in acquiring were suddenly uninterested. Already, the production was viewed as cursed. Roig, eager to start filming, contacted a lifelong friend and his original choice, Lukas Liston, to play Prospero. Liston had a reputation as erratic and difficult to work with, and had just been fired from a production led by Steven Spielberg. Prospero was adapted back to a conventionally attractive man, as Liston refused the makeup required to play the character as a scarred veteran.</p>
<p>Soon after the funeral of James McVane, and directly before filming started, Roig announced that <em>An Age of Red Death</em> was to be his last movie, a statement that came as a shock to many in the industry. Although no firm contracts had been settled, Roig had been tentatively scheduled to produce a number of upcoming productions and seemed to be at the peak of his career. Many were particularly confused by his refusal to discuss the sudden shift in attitude, or his plans for after the film was concluded. Many attached to the production linked his change in behavior to McVane's death, with several noting that he appeared to feel guilty for the death, despite no apparent relation.</p>
<p>Filming began in May 1976 in Scotland. Another possible anomalous event soon ocurred, during a scene where Cyrano<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> (thematically linked to the color blue) attempts to rescue several children from drowning in water tainted by the Red Death, one week into filming. The following testimony was collected by the Department of Misinformation from Giel Beek, the stunt coordinator for the film, but heavily edited for the final release of <em>Roig's Red Death</em>.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<h1 id="toc2"><span>Giel Beek on drowning accident, <em>Roig's Red Death</em></span></h1>
<p>We're lucky that nobody died.</p>
<p>Well, there, in that instance. Of course people died — some stretch the curse back to McVane, who I have to remind you wasn't even linked to the film at the time. That was just an unfortunate… accident, I suppose.</p>
<p>Which, I suppose you could say this was as well, although I have my suspicions. Suspicions. No, I shouldn't say that, I know what happened, I saw it for myself, with my own two eyes. Few else on set really saw it. Danilo was too shook up after it happened to really give his account — and of course, he rationalized what happened to him. Vines, I think he said.</p>
<p>Like vines can pull a grown man fully beneath the water. Like vines will leave bruising on your leg, in the shape of fingers. See, the problem is that nobody ever wants to confront the truth. Drowning, death, failure, the monster — all of these are things you would rather not see, and so you don't. Unless you're just an inch away, and then it is as clear as day.</p>
<p>I could see it from the operating boom above the water — we were supposed to be getting an overhead shot of him swimming to rescue the children. They weren't in the water at the time, we hadn't filmed that yet. Fortunate. With John Landis's little accident a few years back, everyone assumes that the accident must have endangered the children. Not that we could have been at fault with this one, given, well.</p>
<p>What is there to say? I saw something surge up beneath the water, grab Danilo and pull him down below the surface. I can't say what it was, but it looked like a person, and I saw how it reached its hand around his leg and <em>pulled</em>. He went down thrashing and the crew came in quick to pull him back out. Perhaps I caused a bit of a ruckus when I tried to tell everyone what I had seen. Perhaps I made that worse when I punched Marcus in the face when he wanted to incorporate it into his stupid movie.</p>
<p>"So what if he almost died?" He said. "We're all dying anyway."</p>
<p>Bam. Right hook to the face.</p>
</div>
<p>After Farre's accident, Roig retreated into his trailer for two days and refused to emerge. Max Veidt — himself a director and well-respected among the cast and crew — directed second unit photography for these days, strictly following the script, although this move was contested by Lukas Liston, who similarly tried to direct second unit photography, although he did not have the same cachet as Veidt.</p>
<p>After two days, Roig exited and apologized for the accidents on set, and alluded to the potential for more. Several crew members recounted that he appeared to take responsibilty for the death of James McVane, even though he had been in another country at the time and production had not yet begun. His apologies for the incident involving Farre also led to confusion, as it had seemed to be a largely avoidable and undramatic accident (overshadowed by Giel Beek assaulting Roig immediately after).</p>
<p>Other than the sudden and mostly unexplained shift in personality from Roig, production continued as normal. Roig began to insist upon large changes to the script, greatly expanding several narrative arcs and filming additional hours of content for the first half of the film. Many began to doubt the practicality of this approach and whether the scenes would be included in the film, but it was not unheard for Roig to film considerably more content than needed and greatly edit the film down to a manageable duration.</p>
<p>One of Roig's more erratic moments during production followed.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<h2 id="toc3"><span>Tetsuo Morgan on the mirror incident, <em>Roig's Red Death</em></span></h2>
<p>There was an intended scene in which Verbena — the purple protagonist — was chased into a maze of mirrors by the Red Death, during a traveling carnival. We didn't get to film it. Roig completely shut down.</p>
<p>We were setting up the scene, and Roig and myself were approaching the set, when he began screaming, and charged at one of the mirrors, smashing it to pieces with a hammer. I ran at him and pulled him back, trying to wrestle some kind of answer out of him for that, but he just kept screaming. He pointed all around, looking at all of the mirrors, and frantically ordering that they all be destroyed.</p>
<p>I pulled him back to his trailer and sat him down, trying to knock some sense into him. He refused to speak to me until I threw a cloth over the mirror in the trailer, and in the bathroom and even then — nothing. He just told me that we'd have to cut the scene, he'd write something else. I offered to help. You have to realize, despite everything he was doing, I still thought of him as my friend, and my primary intention was taking care of him.</p>
<p>Before I left the trailer, he looked at me and said — we have to get rid of all the mirrors. I can't leave until you do.</p>
<p>I still have no idea what he saw in them.</p>
</div>
<p>Production costs continued to mount. Inclement weather required extensions to shooting, Roig proved to be uncharacteristically hostile and abrasive to his cast and crew (leading to several fights, firings and replacements), and the vision for scenes frequently changed midshoot. In one notable incident, Roig elected to hire the entire population of a small hamlet to play background characters in a scene where the Marquis de Laster (the character representing white) rides through a plague infested village with Prince Prospero. This scene would only last approximately fifteen seconds in the final cut, and had already been filmed with a smaller amount of extras.</p>
<p>Cornerstone pictures repeatedly threatened to cut Roig's funding, and finally declared production would only be allowed to continue if the film moved from its more expensive (and less narratively important) opening half to the climax. This was a calculated move by Cornerstone to force Roig from continuing to expand and alter the script of the film, as the scenes set at Prince Prospero's abbey had a single location, limited cast, and practically no special effects.</p>
<p>Reluctantly, Roig ended the first phase of photography, and the entire cast came to Castle Caernog to finish the production. Even in this stage, Roig was making constant edits to the script. Tetsuo Morgan — having been given strict instructions from Cornerstone — rejected most of these adaptations, leading to frequent fighting. On several occassions, Roig delivered type-written copies of his new script to actors and filmed new sequences without studio oversight.</p>
<p>The most anomalous event of production occurred in the final days of filming. As recounted by Harriet Full, a grip operator:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<h2 id="toc4"><span>Harriet Full on the film incident, <em>Roig's Red Death</em></span></h2>
<p>To this day I have no idea what could have caused something like that. There were a number of theories, but everyone was really just fooling themselves. There was a lot of that at the end, as we all kind of realized that the film was a dead man walking. We hadn't been officially canned yet, production hadn't been shut down — but it was clear that Cornerstone was going to spend several long hours with this film on the chopping block to make <em>something</em> out of it to reclaim what meager investment it could. Probably a low-grade horror movie, knowing the names attached, with only a passing resemblance to the actual story.</p>
<p>That's <em>my</em> theory for the camera thing, anyway. The psychic aura we were causing on the set corrupted the film, and made us all look like corpses on it. Mind over matter, right? I've read a lot about how our brains emit waves into the world that can affect our surroundings — its how telepathy and telekinesis and astral projection work — so I think even though nobody on the set was a psychic, we all had a bit of an effect on it, and collectively we equated to one depressed, morbid psychic.</p>
<p>It is the most logical explanation I can muster for why we all looked like corpses on the last day of filming. I was quite the sight myself, all burned to a crisp! You'd expect that from more, given what happened later that night, but everyone was a corpse in different ways. Lukas had a bullet wound in his head, Tetsuo was bleeding everywhere. The funniest was Max Veidt — he looked like he'd died of old age, peacefully. Pale and thin, but nothing else. Weird guy, that one.</p>
<p>Back to the mood, at least. It was pretty grim on set. Our psychic presence was causing omens of ill end, and the omens were making the mood worse, causing an even worse psychic presence. Everyone was depressed, everyone was freaked out, everyone wanted to leave. Nobody wanted to even acknowledge what was happening on the film. Roig told us to scrap it, we wouldn't film that day, keep the rest of the cast and crew from freaking out. Thank god we only had one more day, we all said. Just finish this out, and it's Roig's problem to fix in post.</p>
</div>
<p>The final day of filming was scheduled for the next day. This would be the penultimate scene of the movie, and one of the few directly based on Poe's original short story, in which Prince Prospero runs through the mansion, attempting to kill the apparation of the Red Death. According to Roig's vision, this was to be a single continuous tracking shot, and a great deal of coordination was in place to ensure that the camera could be rolled through the various rooms, capturing the revelers.</p>
<p>The general attitude of the crew, at this point, was already grim. With the various troubles of production encountered so far (as well as the growing and vocal displeasure of Cornerstone with how overbudget the film was), it was seeming more and more unlikely that the film would be ultimately edited and released. Many believed that, even if released, it would be a box office bomb that would destroy the careers of much of the cast. Still, with only a single day of filming remaining, the crew retired for the night.</p>
<p>That night, Marcus Roig filmed SCP-8666 with Lukas Liston, capturing the start of a fire that would burn down Castle Caernog. Several members of the cast and crew perished in this fire. One of the few who saw Roig during this time was Max Veidt, whose account follows.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<h2 id="toc5"><span>Max Veidt on the fire, <em>Roig's Red Death</em></span></h2>
<p>I awoke in the middle of the night to a hideous heat and the screaming of my fellows. Evidently, I was one of the last to awaken, for I have always been a deep sleeper. The door knob to my room was already too hot to be touched, and I was forced to consider an alternate means of fleeing the castle, into the cold and dark snowdrifts that surrounded us. It is to my fortune that I have been in the custom of keeping a pitcher of water by my bedside, and so I was able to douse the fabrics of the room and block the door with wetness, keeping the smoke at bay and allowing me a moment of thought.</p>
<p>For egress, I was forced to turn to the windows. Woefully for myself, I had requested a room in the highest reaches of the castle, wishing to enjoy the views. This was a move that could have proven my death, had I not been a cunning man of action. You see, although my room did not have a balcony, the ledge underneath the window was easily one foot in width. I bundled myself in my warmest fabrics and ventured into the cold, securing myself upon that precarious edge.</p>
<p>Like Dracula and his lizard fashion, I scaled along the wall to further down, hoping that one of the windows on this level would permit access to a portion of the castle not engulfted in fire. With characteristic Veidt luck, the window three down from my own revealed an open door and while the light of the fire was visible, the flames themselves were not. I smashed it open with the handle of my knife, a tool I carry at all times, and opened the window to enter. I knew the stairs down were in the direction not exposed by the fire, and I could safely use them, so I headed in that direction. Looking back down the hall, flames had entirely begun to engulf my room — I was only moments away from funerary pyre.</p>
<p>Venturing further down, I heard screaming. I am led to believe that I was one of, if not the last, to emerge from the castle that night, and so it is to my understanding no one else heard those screams. It was clearly Marcus, ranting with some unheard entity, blaming it for the destruction of the castle and the fire that engulfed it. I do not take it to have been the irrational delusions and ranting of hallucinating man, but rather hold I could not hear the other person, whoever it might be. Marcus would pause, and then return, rather than the unbroken and continuing nonsense one would expect from a man arguing with himself.</p>
<p>It was not long before I came to the grand staircase, itself already enveloped in flames. I knew then that the castle would burn entirely, and much like the film there was no saving it. I could only hope that all those inside had managed to escape. Then, I heard a voice behind me — Marcus. He called to me, and asked if I had seen Max Veidt, myself. I turned and screamed that I was here, and we needed to escape. He looked at me in shock, muttering some remark about how I had changed from costume so quickly, a comment the nature of which eludes me to this day. I told him I would wear no costumes any longer, for this film had finally come to the inevitable conclusion.</p>
<p>This was the most harrowing moment, when he lifted his camera and turned back to face the fire. I'll never forget his final words: "No, the film has finally redeemed itself." Without any desire to remain there and see what he had planned, I dashed out the front doors. The rest of the crew were nearby, and assumed myself to have died. The sudden manifestation of my visage caused incredible ruckus, and many assumed myself to be a ghost. I assured them I was no spectre, but with heavy heart confirmed they could count Marcus among the wraiths.</p>
</div>
<p>The Foundation was already aware of the possible anomalous nature of production and quickly intervened upon hearing of the fire, preventing local authorities from becoming involved. Upon discovery that distinctly anomalous experiences had not been encountered by the surviving cast and crew, the Foundation allowed most to leave and began a physical investigation of Castle Caernog. The corpse of Marcus Roig was soon discovered in the wreckage, as he was found hanged from a rafter in a portion of the castle at the center otherwise unaffected by the blaze. Signs of a significant physical struggle have led to the suspicion that Roig was murdered by an unknown party, rather than suicide. Who this might be is unclear.</p>
<p>SCP-8666 was found in the camera at Marcus's feet. No other anomalous effects were discovered within Castle Caernog.</p>

<p>SCP-8668 in containment (2013).</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8668 is contained within a standard domestic animal enclosure at Site-58. SCP-8668 must be fed twice a day and walked once a week in accordance to its standard care schedule. Any personnel in charge of walking SCP-8668 are to carry a biohazard containment bag with them at all times during the walk.</p>
<p>Should SCP-8668 vomit at any time within or outside of containment, the contents should be placed in a biohazard containment bag and brought to Site-58's Zoological Studies Department for further review alongside a member of the Foundation's legal team.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8668 is a Golden Retriever of indeterminate age. While SCP-8668's specific age is unknown, firsthand accounts of the anomaly date back to as early as 1825. Physically, SCP-8668 is comparable to an average Golden Retriever of between 10-11 years of age.</p>
<p>Whenever SCP-8668 vomits, it produces a document containing legal mandates. These texts are often poorly constructed, containing numerous grammatical errors. While the "laws" presented in these texts are often nonsensical in nature, the text itself contains clear action plans for the enforcement of the law with few, if any, loopholes that could be exploited by malicious actors.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8668.1:</strong> Discovery</p>
<p>SCP-8668 was originally discovered in the town of Rayfield, Wisconsin<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> on August 31st, 1989, where it had been serving as the mayor since 1977. The town came to Foundation attention following the televised broadcast of the following advertisement for SCP-8668's reelection campaign.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong><Begin Video></strong></p>
<p><em>Footage opens with SCP-8668 sitting in a field. A gust of wind lightly tousles its fur.</em></p>
<p><strong>Voiceover:</strong> This November, your vote couldn't be clearer.</p>
<p><em>The video cuts to SCP-8668 running down a sidewalk chasing a squirrel.</em></p>
<p><strong>Voiceover:</strong> Since the early days of our town, Old Soggy has been there for us. She's stood by us through our hardest times, and guided us to the prosperity we enjoy today.</p>
<p><em>Footage cuts to a clip of SCP-8668 and a baby. SCP-8668 licks the top of its head. The baby giggles.</em></p>
<p><strong>Voiceover:</strong> There for us as early as our town founding in 1825, Old Soggy has never once misled us. Her town charter gave us Rayfield, and her legal know-how has made it into the home we know and love to this day.</p>
<p><em>The video cuts to SCP-8668 sitting with its paw resting atop a Bible.</em></p>
<p><strong>Voiceover:</strong> Josephine Allens, however, would disrespect that legacy. She would remove Old Soggy from the legislature, and subject us to laws and regulations regurgitated by outsiders.</p>
<p><em>Footage cuts to a black and white image of Josephine Allens, SCP-8668's electoral opposition, in the process of leashing a dog. It then cuts back to an image of SCP-8668 sitting in front of an American Flag.</em></p>

<p>Following this broadcast, Foundation agents were sent to Rayfield to recover SCP-8668. It was discovered in the town's mayoral office in the middle of drafting a new bill, allowing agents to confirm its anomalous nature. It was taken into containment on August 14th, 1989, and the citizens of Rayfield, Wisconsin were amnescized.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8668.2:</strong> Abbreviated list of laws</p>
<p>Below is an abbreviated list of laws and legal mandates produced by SCP-8668 prior to and following Foundation containment.</p>
<table class="wiki-content-table">
<tr>
<th>Year</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1825</td>
<td>Small Town Build It</td>
<td>First recorded document produced by SCP-8668. Aside from grammatical oddities, review shows it is one of the most legally well constructed town charters in history. This charter would undergo exactly 1 revision in the following years.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1843</td>
<td>Many Write Good Book OK Act</td>
<td>Required all town residents to write and contribute at least one book to the town's library every 3 years.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1856</td>
<td>Pennies Go Away Now Mandate</td>
<td>Demanded that the town melt down all pennies and use the resulting metal to craft pipes, replacing the plumbing that existed in their homes at the time. The law mandated that this be completed no later than 1857<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> Mandate was completed on schedule, and the town saw a decline in bacterial infections in the following years.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1890</td>
<td>Many Frogs Now Act</td>
<td>Required all residents carry a toad<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> in their coat pocket at all times. Town experienced a notable decline in mosquito-born illnesses following this law's implementation.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1907</td>
<td>Many Cats Yes Act</td>
<td>Asks all residents to adopt at least 1 cat. Document notably contains heavy swearing throughout, specifically when referring to cats. In the years following this mandate, the rat population of Rayfield experienced a sharp decline.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1910</td>
<td>Yucky Wash Hands Mandate</td>
<td>Required all residents to wash their hands with soap and water before meals and after using the restroom. It is believed that this increased attentiveness to health resulted in the town reporting a notably low rate of infection during the Great Influenza epidemic of 1918.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1956</td>
<td>Teach Good Now Act</td>
<td>Law desegregates both schools in town, and sets forth a curriculum based in what were then modern educational practices.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1970</td>
<td>Small Town Build It Part 2</td>
<td>Only law designed specifically to make changes to the town charter. Only notable change is the inclusion of language that specifically does not prohibit dogs from holding office.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Following SCP-8668's containment in 1989, it continued to produce new legal documents. These were not forwarded to the town of Rayfield.</p>
<table class="wiki-content-table">
<tr>
<th>Year</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1990</td>
<td>Remove Yucky Strings From House Mandate</td>
<td>First law produced following SCP-8668's containment. Law demands the removal of asbestos from all homes in Rayfield. While asbestos received a partial ban in 1989 on the national level, this law contained more complex bans that would not see similar national legislation until 2024.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1991</td>
<td>Put Dog Back Mandate</td>
<td>First law directly addressing the Foundation. Law requests that the Foundation return SCP-8668 to Rayfield. Following review by the Foundation legal team, a minor loophole was discovered that allowed for the continued containment of SCP-8668.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1993</td>
<td>Make House Better Act</td>
<td>Requires all homes in Rayfield undergo flame-treatment, and requires that home insulation be replaced with cellulose insulation that has undergone borate fireproofing.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1994</td>
<td>Put Dog Back NOW Mandate</td>
<td>A rewrite of the 1991 "Put Dog Back Mandate" that removes the previously discovered legal loophole. While the Foundation legal team was unable to identify new loopholes that would allow the continued containment of SCP-8668, the Foundation has chosen not to comply with the mandate.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1994</td>
<td>Dig Big Hole Act</td>
<td>Requires residents to dig a large trench that completely surrounds the town, excluding major highways and roads, that has a minimum width equal to the tallest tree within 50 feet plus one foot.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1994</td>
<td>Good Girl Go Home Please Please Please Mandate</td>
<td>Outlines a specific plan for the Foundation to return SCP-8668 to Rayfield, Wisconsin in a way that would allow minimal damage to the veil. Denied, as it would still permit the town to be aware of SCP-8668</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1994</td>
<td>Wet Plants Send Please Mandate</td>
<td>Outlines a new irrigation plan for Rayfield designed to help combat drought weather alongside text requesting the Foundation send the mandate to the town. Request was denied.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><strong>Addendum 8668.3:</strong> Incident Report</p>
<p>On July 16th, 1994, SCP-8668 became unresponsive. A health examination revealed no abnormalities, and that it was otherwise alive and healthy. Foundation investigation revealed that the change in SCP-8668's behavior coincided with the destruction of approximately 60% of the town of Rayfield, Wisconsin. Investigations revealed that the town had largely been destroyed in an uncontrolled wildfire sparked by drought conditions.</p>
<p>After three weeks, SCP-8668 was caught on cameras rising to its feet and vomiting out another document. The document's contents have been recorded below.</p>
<table class="wiki-content-table">
<tr>
<th>Year</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1994</td>
<td>Dog Stay In Box</td>
<td>Overturns the 1994 "Put Dog Back NOW Mandate", allowing the Foundation to contain SCP-8668 in perpetuity.</td>

<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe (Neutralized)</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> When not undergoing research or experimentation, SCP-8682's remains are secured within a standard Level 3 containment locker inside Storage Chamber 198D at Site-73. The chamber is to maintain constant temperature and humidity levels to minimize degradation.</p>

<p>SCP-8682</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8682 resembles a headless, 11 week old human fetus. SCP-8682 is calcified and exhibits complete cephalothoracic fusion. SCP-8682 is 4.5 cm in length, has a craniocaudal length of 8 cm, and a weight of 20g. SCP-8682 is stored in a 15x15cm archival plastic container. The container is stained with green bile and red with blood, fluids discharged from the liver of SCP-8682 immediately before its death. Also contained within this discharge were significant amounts of cerebrospinal fluid and elevated levels of melatonin.</p>
<p>SCP-8682 was contained in an artificial fluoropolymer womb, nutrition provided through a tank of nutrient dense hydrogel. Contained within the womb is also an artificial placenta constructed from inorganic materials. The womb has been considered for its own separate documentation, although current investigation does not support an anomalous nature.</p>
<p>The outer layer of the womb is damaged in several spots with what are presumed to be snake bites.</p>
<p><em>11/13/2024</em> - The hydrogel supporting SCP-8682 is completely drained. The presiding research team is not capable of maintaining the microfluidic and filtering devices used in the womb. Researchers estimate the fluid in the womb will be completely depleted in 7 days. The womb at this point already contained dangerous amounts of ammonia.</p>
<p><em>11/16/2024</em>. - SCP-8682 began to calcify gradually in a radius centered around its pineal gland. The brain death of SCP-8682 was confirmed shortly afterward. CT imaging reveals the inside of SCP-8682 to be completely calcified, although portions of the liver remain intact. Physical dissection is currently awaiting approval from the Site Director.</p>
<p>Before its death, SCP-8682 was otherwise a typical 11 week old fetus, with some differences. Aside from its cephalothoracic fusion, SCP-8682’s spinal and intestinal development was non-existent, and no evidence of these structures could be detected with medical imaging.</p>
<p>The primary anomalous property of SCP-8682 was its chromosomal structure. X or Y chromosomes were not present, and further investigation has revealed aberrations in its genetic assembly. This includes an irregular, spherical chromosomal scaffolding, and the closed loop of its polynucleotide chains. These are colloquially referred to by researchers as a “fractal helix”.</p>
<p><em>11/18/2024.</em> Concerns Regarding the Genome Project<br/>
Due to the complexity of this sequencing (I use the word complexity leniently, insomuch as scribbling is complex), I am hesitant to write a budget to submit to the O5 command. I would not be surprised if mapping of this genome took 13 years, and even then this effort would require the effort of dozens of institutes around the world, legions of biological computation experts, and while I don’t know the Foundation’s exact budget, I doubt that it’s the annual scientific budget of every high income economy on earth. Even for the purpose of R&D, insofar as we would want to parcel the advancement of genetics, it would be for the advancement of completely irrelevant genetics. This is a scientific idiot trap.<br/>
<em>-Dr. Crow,</em><br/>
<em>Presiding Researcher</em></p>
<p><strong>History:</strong> SCP-8682 was first discovered on 11/08/2024, at 3:45 AM, in Laurel Hollow, NY, US, in an office space retrofitted with biomedical equipment on Browns Rd in Oyster Bay. The Foundation received an anonymous tip.</p>
<p>These channels were disseminated and are almost exclusively used by informants within organizations involved in genomics.</p>
<p><strong>Trace:</strong> (516) 931-9390, Oyster Bay Train Station 40.875, -73.534</p>
<p>Agent Breen located SCP-8682 in a secured back room at the designated location. The area was devoid of furniture and occupants, and forensic samples could not be recovered. The building was unpowered and did not receive running water. The equipment the artificial womb SCP-8682 was contained in functioned with a small gas generator.</p>
<p>The office space was owned by a defunct LLC “Past Futures'', which was composed of one deceased individual operating out of Hungary. This individual could not be verified in public records.</p>
<p>Footage of the payphone at the train station in Oyster Bay did not reveal anyone present. However, one individual was present on Tuesday, November 8, 2021, at 3:45, 3:50 am in local solar time (exactly three years prior to the recovery effort).</p>
<p><strong>Containment History:</strong> An irregularity occurred during the transfer of SCP-8682 to Site-58, involving Agent Breen. Agent Breen was instructed to deliver SCP-8682 to the nearest site in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania. When Agent Breen first received the call from dispatch, while on reserve duty, he was indisposed in some manner undisclosed, and at first refused the call. Refusal of the call from an agent is a historical deviation for Foundation personnel. Had Agent Breen persisted in his refusal, it would have necessitated involving local law enforcement personnel, which could have compromised the object's securement and led to further complications.</p>
<p>When threatened with termination and disciplinary action, Breen conceded and departed by 3:17 from the East Norwich Inn. His estimated time of arrival was 3:31, however, Agent Breen did not arrive until 3:45. At 3:30, while en route, Breen was contacted by his acting partner, Agent Ortega. The following is a transcript of a portion of their exchange.</p>

<p>Accident presumed to have been caused by Agent Breen at 3:33. After crossing a four way intersection, Agent Breen merged onto a one way road. The individual narrowly avoided Breen, crashing into a fire hydrant. There was heavy rain at this time which may have obscured vision. Those involved only sustained minor injuries. After this incident, there was radio silence from Breen from 3:33 to 5:00.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> I know there are ugly rumors about how our organization handles these kinds of things, but rest assured the only disciplinary action will be a termination of employment, or, the worst case scenario, a mild amnestic regimen. This is unprecedented, as well, and because of your long and earnest service at the Foundation there will be some leniency. I’m also vouching for you personally and I believe these are extraordinary circumstances. We just need to know what happened after you recovered SCP-8682.</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> I’m so sorry Virgil. I really fucked up.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> It’s fine, just talk to me.</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> When I woke up, the van was halfway through the building on Browns Rd. And… I forgot my equipment so I had to break in through the window. I think someone heard me too because the lights came on in the other building next to us. God. I’m just so…. Why me? Don’t we have other agents in the area? Why did this all have to happen?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> First things first. They didn’t hear you breaking through the window. They heard your van collide with a brick wall. As for your question, we have about 30 reserve field agents in New York. In your case there were 3 agents about 2 hours away in either direction. The object was considered a low threat level and it wasn’t exactly time sensitive. Hell, it was just a tip, we didn’t even know if something was there. In fact, the object is currently neutralized and it’s probably headed to cold storage. It hardly warrants classification. The fact that we’re both sitting in this room right now is, frankly, it’s wild.</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> After Sanders died…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> And I cleared you from psych eval. And you asked to be sent back into the field. And I okayed it. And I owned up to it. We’re all in the shit. We could make excuses for days. Tell me what happened.</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> Okay. Like I said, someone heard me. So I move faster. Uh, I cut myself a little bit on the window. My hand was bleeding and. I moved to the rear of the building, there was a padlock on the door there. I was scared as hell. I was prepared for anything to jump out at me. I fought every urge in my body to get out of there. My mind was everywhere. I… I have to be up front I guess. I was probably… tripping as well.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> You weren't drunk? You were on psychedelics?</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> No, I was also drunk.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> Continue.</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> Okay. That’s when I hear the police sirens. So now I’m not just scared, but angry. You guys didnt even fucking clear me.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> The officers that responded to the scene were from a completely different jurisdiction than the ones we told to look the other way. We notified Long Island. The Highway Patrol were dispatched after a local saw and heard you collide with a building. We’ve mostly handled that already. Our ongoing problems are with local law enforcement and the strain on the disinformation department resulting from the damage when you fled from NYSP, the chase, the coinciding attack from the anomalies, emergency activation of the MTF, the multiple civilian casualties from when you were attacked during the chase, and the brutal eradication of a regiment of Nu-7.</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> I did get the object back.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> Okay. Let’s take a break. And then you can explain -we can explain- why 20 miles of highway just 10 miles from the most populous city in the US is now a red zone.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Agent Breen’s van is visible ahead. The road is congested with traffic. Walker pulls ahead of Breen and attempts to locate a front license plate. Walker decelerates and pulls behind Breen’s vehicle.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> “10-41, Unit 3 requesting to initiate a traffic stop on a black 2023 Ford Transit with no front or rear license plates, extensive damage to the front of the vehicle. Possible suspect. Irregular driving. Currently westbound on Highway 80 near Saddle Brook… Windows are tinted. I want an assist.”</p>
<p>Simultaneously, another unmarked white van approaches Breen from the driver’s side. An arm extends out of the window and motions for Breen to roll down his window. Breen continues driving for one minute. A pistol emerges from the passenger’s side of the white van, and takes what is presumed to be a warning shot. Breen swerves, cutting off a car to his right, causing it to collide with a pylon and causing a pile up behind him. Walker narrowly swerves past the crash.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> "10-81! Unit 3 requesting immediate backup on highway 80 westbound near Elmwood park. Vehicle assault in progress. Suspect vehicle is a white van, a Ford E150, I’m hanging in the rear. I’m in the unmarked black Chevrolet Tahoe.”</p>
<p>A creature emerges from the white van. It is difficult to see due to the quality of the dashcam and Walker’s distance from the vehicles. It is roughly 1 meter long, and resembles a snake with ribbed wings and exaggerated spinous processes. It balances itself against the van with its wings and coils, then crashes directly through Breen’s window.</p>
<p>Breen’s van begins driving erratically, swerving left and right. The vehicle briefly grinds against a barrier.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> I think… What was that?</p>
<p>The snakelike creature’s head emerges from the van with a translucent, basketball sized object in its mouth, presumed to be SCP-8682’s artificial womb. The white van pulls closer and the figure inside reaches out to grab SCP-8682. The snake creature is grabbed by the neck and pulled back into Breen’s van just as it's about to leap. The white van rams the side of Breen’s vehicle.</p>
<p>Sirens can be heard in the background.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> “Finally. I’m going to attempt to initiate a stop. White Ford E150. No, I’m gonna say the transit from earlier is not a priority. Yes it’s involved.”</p>
<p>Walker begins closing distance with the white van. Breen’s van appears to have regained stability. Walker activates her siren.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> “Pull over immediately! White E150! Stop immediately! This is the police!”</p>
<p>The white van pulls away from Breen and begins accelerating. Breen’s van rocks right, then left, then right again, then sharply veers left, spins a handbrake turn, collides with the median on his passenger side, rolling his vehicle into the oncoming lane. He then accelerates into the highway 19 exit and disappears from view.</p>
<p>Police cars can be heard approaching Walker from the rear.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> “What are the fucking odds-. 10-80, Unit 3, initiating PIT maneuver on suspect vehicle E150! Westbound on highway 80. Repeat, I get to- I am initiating a PIT maneuver on the suspect vehicle, white E150.”</p>
<p><strong>Dispatch:</strong> Negative. We see you up ahead. Try and find the black Transit. We’re going to try a box in.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> [mumbling] Got it.</p>

<p><strong>Agent Popescu:</strong> Where did the friend go? Answer questions.</p>
<p><strong>Xix’s Xix:</strong> He ran off. Don’t know. In the woods. Police got him?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Popescu:</strong> Why attack the man in the black van?</p>
<p><strong>Xix’s Xix:</strong> He stole our new framework. All cosmic wounds in one body. A spinal quarry.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Popescu:</strong> (turns to Agent Ortega) Oh, yeah, I think I know these guys. They do say this kind of shit.</p>
<p><strong>Xix’s Xix:</strong> We just wanted him to stop the van. I don’t want to kill anyone. I don’t want a body on me. Not in my contract. That was our little spine’s job.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Popescu:</strong> Okay. What did he steal? Plainly. Speak plainly. No riddle. Just say what the thing is.</p>
<p><strong>Xix’s Xix:</strong> I’m Xix’s Xix. They don’t tell me what I don’t need to know. They tell me riddles too. They told me the thing is “universal pain”. “Star trauma”. I don’t know what that means. I know lots of other stellar noun-synonym combos too; I can keep going. “Galaxial ache”. That sounds good too, a good band name at least?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Popescu:</strong> (turns to Agent Ortega) He’s not lying. This one is only as good as his function. Tell me who is Xix, and what is a Xix. I don’t know that. I was not paying attention in that class.</p>
<p><strong>Xix’s Xix:</strong> A hand. Xix is a hand. And a palindrome. A loop. I am a hand’s hand.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Popescu:</strong> Who is your hand?</p>
<p><strong>Xix’s Xix:</strong> Another hand. Ask me who’s hand he is.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Popescu:</strong> Who do you represent? I think I already know the answer to the question.</p>
<p><strong>Xix’s Xix:</strong> (Xix’s Xix scans Popescu’s arms and laughs.) The answer got to know you.</p>
<p>Agent Popescu suddenly strikes Xix’s Xix in the face, and is later found to have slightly fractured his skull. Agent Ortega moves to restrain her.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Ortega:</strong> Alright this is over. We need him! Get off of him-</p>

<p><strong>Agent Breen:</strong> I somehow managed to evade the cops. I don’t know how I hopped that barrier. Adrenaline? I couldn’t believe it. The whole time I had that fucking… snake worm thing in a vice grip between my legs. Have you guys seen that thing? Nightmare noodles. No skin! Where's its skin? It’s somewhere on the road feeding vultures right now. It’s probably gonna make em’ sick.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> The incident is very recent. Five hours recent. We are only just now reviewing things like police dash cam footage. What happened after that?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Breen:</strong> I choked it. It took a while. Thing was strong. I was steering with my knees, strangling this thing with my two bloody hands and hauling ass. Bloodied up my thighs with those spikes on its spine. I hurt like shit.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> You look like shit. You threw it out of the window, didn’t you? You were on a very busy highway. Did any other motorists see you <em>illegally</em> dump this anomalous creature out of your driver side window?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Breen:</strong> I wasn’t thinking. No… I don’t think so. Okay. Yes. But they probably just thought it was just a snake.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> Every few moments I have to stop myself from saying just how… surprising. Farcical. Disappointing, this all is. So I’m just going to say it. You’ve made fools of everyone in this organization. Please continue.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Breen:</strong> Alright. I am checking the damage on the object now, and I see that it’s intact. I was worried that the snake would damage 8682 when it grabbed it. I didn’t have to pull the snake back in, you know, it wasn’t even attacking me until that point.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> Yes. Yes you had to pull the “snake” back in. That’s your job. Are you still high?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Breen:</strong> I contain safe class objects, and yet, [Breen begins shouting] every other job I am sent on has me maimed, transfigured, and psychologically violated. Do you know how I felt when I broke open that door and I looked in to see, once again - its yet another fucked up fetus! Five times! Five times you sick fuck! Probably in the same fucking trimester! Is this your idea of a joke? I have thermonuclear PTSD from these things! Every neuron in my brain is howling at me not to approach this thing, let alone delicately cradle it and sit next to it for five fucking hours, worried, mind in a blender, at what this little bitch is going to do me! You all should be licking my fucking boots at the -heroic- fucking willpower I exert every day just to walk in that god damn door. I hope this whole world gets sucked down the fucking hole. The insurgency was right! Fuck all of you!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> You are assigned to these specific jobs because you have expertise with the subject matter.</p>
<p>Breen opens his mouth and eyes wide in an expression of disbelief, gets up, and throws a chair to the side of the room, then lunges across the table, grabbing Dr. Mayreder by the collar. He is subdued by site security.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> It’s okay, he’s not going to… It’s okay. I’m…</p>

<blockquote>
<p>It’s raining heavily. Walker approaches Breen’s van in a ditch on the side of the highway. She inspects the vehicle, examining blood on the driver’s seat and the broken driver’s window. She steps away from the vehicle and walks toward the lake, briefly looking at the street sign on Shades of Death Rd, which is covered in some type of black oil.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> Who the hell names these things?</p>
<p>The lake is obscured by trails of vapor and a low layer of fog, in addition to the early morning darkness. Walker points her flashlight at footprints leading toward the lake and slowly follows them. There is a loud wet crack coming from the direction of the footprints. She looks around, stops for a moment and pulls out her gun.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> This is stupid.</p>
<p>An object in the darkness slowly begins to appear through the fog. Walker raises her gun and steadies it at the shadows. After a moment the obscured creature is revealed to be a buck. The buck notices Walker and quickly darts away.</p>
<p>Walker continues down the trail toward a small cave. A man is heard cursing up ahead.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> I’m pursuing a subject on foot. They’re in a wooded area. Low visibility, lots of fog. Off Shades of Death Road, just a little bit into Ghost Lake. I think they’re at the cave. Possibly injured. They could have a weapon? Could have anything honestly.</p>
<p>Walker slowly walks toward the cave and sees a man sitting on the rock in the darkness. He’s not wearing a shirt, and is wrapping his hands and legs in some material.</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> I hear you. I see your light. I’m here. I’m not armed. I’m just resting.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> Alright. I can see you a little bit. I need you to turn around and put your hands in the air.</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> No and no. That would hurt pretty bad. I’m real fucked up. Honestly, shoot me if you want. Actually, please do.</p>
<p>Walker approaches Breen and shines a light on him. He squints. SCP-8682 is on the ground next to him, along with its biogel tank. Alexis lowers her gun.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> Can you explain what’s going on?</p>
<p>Breen laughs and then grimaces.</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> I work for a top secret organization, and I’ve recovered an anomalous object. I’m currently on my way to a black site- is your walkie talkie on? Are you getting all this? Nanticoke, Pennsylvania. Site-58. It’s under an old abandoned building. My supervisor is Virgil Mayreder. My partner is Carlos Ortega. Do you want their phone numbers?</p>
<p>Walker points her flashlight at SCP-8682.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> What is that?</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> I don’t know. What does it look like?</p>
<p>Walker nears SCP-8682 for inspection. SCP-8682 is moving slowly. Walker appears to be fixated on the object, not moving or speaking for several minutes. Breen is also silent at this time. Walker then delicately grabs SCP-8682 and places it inside of the cave. Walker grabs her walkie talkie, and then puts it back down. Someone on the other end of the walkie talkie asks for a status report, but she doesn’t respond. Walker turns to Breen who is leaning backward outside of the cave wall with his eyes closed.</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> Processing?</p>
<p>The sun begins to rise.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> What happened after that?</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> That felt like an eternity. Don’t really know why.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> What did she say about your little rant upon first locating you?</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> Nothing. Probably thought I was high. Why do we even have a disinfo team? It’s not like you could convince people of any of this shit. But no, she saw the object and went mute. Just dumbstruck I guess. Or it’s like one of its effects. No, I’m just gonna go with dumbstruck.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> And after that?</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> The sun came out. She’s just standing there looking at the object and looking at the lake and just generally looking. Don’t know what her deal was. Did I mention she hid it in the cave too? Inexplicable. We should trade places, honestly. And then the boys showed up. Surprised you were so late.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> The task force?</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> Yeah. Zapped her right in the neck. Classic. She dropped like a sack of bricks. They swooped in and just grabbed me. Threw me over the shoulder like a ragdoll. They put her on her side in the cave. Some guy with something that looked like an ice cooler bagged the object. Honestly, why didn’t you have those guys do this in the first place?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder</strong>: Because we thought we could count on you for this simple task. This is your last chance, Breen. Where are those men now?</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> I assume that they’re all dead if you haven’t heard from them.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> It was… a rhetorical question. They are all dead. What did the attackers look like?</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> I saw a few guys in the chaos. They were in tactical gear, had masks on. Generic stuff. No bad guy uniform if that’s what you mean! We were being shot at with automatic weapons. It was such a weird scene. Golden fog and heavy rain. Exit wounds mixing in with droplets creating these misty jets of blood in the air. There were a few guys and then. Some things? They looked like spinal cords. Maybe they were so tall that I couldn't see their heads? Spinal cords waving in the golden dark like reeds. It was hard to see. I stumbled over one in the aftermath but I was too fucked to look at it. I’m amazed our guys even shot anything.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> And then you located SCP-8682?</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> I do not know why, but yes, I did. I grabbed his little container.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> His?</p>
<p><strong>Breen:</strong> It. Come on, man. Anyway, after that I stumbled out onto the road and got into one of the vans our goons came in.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mayreder:</strong> Goons? Breen, that was <em>Nu-7</em>. <em>They</em> are dead. Do you understand?</p>
<p>Breen looks at the floor and rubs his temple.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum D:</strong> Transcript of drone footage from the Ghost Lake conflict, November 8th, 2024.</p>
<p>The detachment of 30 operatives from Nu-7 were equipped with automatic and long range silenced rifles, portable flamethrowers, and adaptive hyperspectral goggles. [DATA EXPUNGED] granting them full awareness of enemy movements, with provided stationary air support. There were 11 enemy combatants present, eight were equipped with automatic rifles, as well as three entities yet to be cataloged.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><strong>[06:01:03]</strong> 8 men and 2 entities are approaching Breen and the civilian from the northern side of the lake. The entities are 2.4 meters tall and appear to have emerged from the ground. They have the appearance of thick spinal columns, and are following the rear of the 8 men. Their method of locomotion is unknown. They are swaying from left to right rhythmically as they move.</p>
<p><strong>[06:01:05]</strong> The civilian is subdued by Nu-7.</p>
<p><strong>[06:01:14]</strong> 10 men from Nu-7 circle around from the west and 10 approach Breen from the southeast. 10 wait in ambush just south of Breen.</p>
<p><strong>[06:01:15]</strong> Nu-7 1-3 moves in to retrieve Breen and the Object.</p>
<p><strong>[06:01:37]</strong> Nu-7 1-3 move toward the road with Breen and the object.</p>
<p><strong>[06:01:55]</strong> One of the spinal entities emerges underneath the group retrieving Breen.</p>
<p><strong>[06:01:56]</strong> Thirteen operatives unleash fire upon the spinal entity. The entity exhibited no aggressive behavior nor did it appear capable of attacking. Nu-7 received orders to redirect fire towards the eight human combatants. While all enemy combatants were within range, none seemed to be affected by Nu-7's barrage, despite their complete encirclement.</p>
<p><strong>[06:01:58]</strong> The 8 men move toward Breen. 10 members of Nu-7 have been shot at this point.</p>
<p><strong>[06:02:53]</strong> One of the enemy combatants is approached by Nu-7-4. Nu-7-4 appears to have dispatched the combatant with a knife.</p>
<p><strong>[06:03:12]</strong> Nu-7 is instructed to cease fire and approach the combatants and engage them in close combat. A melee begins.</p>
<p><strong>[06:03:46]</strong> 8 other members of Nu-7 are killed during the approach.</p>
<p><strong>[06:05:13]</strong> One enemy combatant dispatched 4 members of Nu-7 in close combat. It is unclear how this was achieved.</p>
<p><strong>[06:07:05]</strong> The remaining 6 members of Nu-7 are instructed to use Incendiaries. While this is effective, killing them, the remaining 6 members of Nu-7 are killed by return gunfire.</p>
<p><strong>[06:12:12]</strong> The spinal entities submerge into the ground.</p>
<p><strong>[06:22:00]</strong> Breen is seen moving around the battlefield searching for something.</p>
<p><strong>[06:29:40]</strong> Breen locates an object and moves toward the road.</p>
<p><strong>[06:32:45]</strong> Breen enters one of Nu-7’s vehicles and heads west on Highway 80.</p>
<p><strong>[06:40:00]</strong> The civilian begins moving. Something emerges from beneath the ground, and the connection to the drone is lost.</p>

<p>The area was sweeped one hour later; the bodies of Nu-7, their equipment, the drone, enemy combatants, the civilian, or spinal entities could not be located. Ammunition used by the enemy combatants was not capable of piercing the armor worn by Nu-7, and would have had to penetrate thin entry points in their joints, while their limbs were extended. The events in this scenario are extremely improbable.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><strong>?:</strong> Prediction of the future through excruciation. In the eyes of history we are already dead. The spine contains the history of the universe. We see the future by drowning ourselves in blood and cerebrospinal fluid. This is our own magic. Chronotropism. The manna is a coagulated history.</p>
<p><em>Walker appears to begin moving on her own volition, revealing that she is in some sort of cavern, dimly lit by some sort of red luminescent lichen. The chamber contains corpses in varying stages of decomposition, with individuals dressed in casual hiking clothing.</em></p>
<p><strong>?:</strong> Our enemies are abjection. The radial terrors. Creatures divisible by three. The tori. They escape phylogenetic reality. Unseen by Yaldabaoth. Κνίδη. The sponge, the jelly, and the starfish. The betrayers of the 35 phyla. The Invertebrates…</p>
<p><em>A human spinal column, 25 cm in diameter and 2 meters long, slithers past Walker through a passageway. Walker produces a flashlight and inspects the chamber. She locates a Glock 17 pistol nearby.</em></p>
<p><strong>? 2:</strong> Ma’am- Ma’am. This is important-</p>
<p><em>Alexis grabs the gun and examines it, wiping the dirt from it with her sleeves. There is a sudden crackling of radio static. She flinches and deactivates her walkie talkie.</em></p>
<p><strong>?:</strong> The method begins with the mouth. History begins with the bowels. In this way flies are holy and embody time: eating, digesting, and defecating all at once. Reach into the spine, into the lowest and most idiotic of your vertebrate. Good. What do you see?</p>
<p><strong>? 2:</strong> He’s headed west on highway 80. In a Lenco Bearcat. Gunmetal paint job. He’s high.</p>
<p><strong>?:</strong> The new magic is so beautiful. Now look from your solar eye into the sacral brain-</p>
<p><em>Alexis moves to the threshold and looks into a roughly 100 square-meter area cavern. There are shallow pools of water reflecting light from dripping stalactites. It is likely a pocket in the VRPD aquifer, possibly beneath Ghost Lake. The area is furnished with a field kitchen, comms equipment, and other living amenities, including among them 10 bunks. No entrance or exit is visible. The spinal entities do not appear to be present.</em></p>
<p><strong>? 2:</strong> No, We bugged the vehicle after the knídē arrived. I didn’t use the magic-</p>
<p><strong>?:</strong> Fool! But you used the magic to see them before they arrived?</p>
<p><em>There is a tall figure wearing a red jumpsuit with red chest waders. Her face is concealed partially with a red hood. She intermittently monitors a console behind her. She turns around and resumes speaking to something on the ground. It appears to be a humanoid body in a fetal position, albeit lacking a head. Walker pulls her shirt sleeve back and forcefully pinches her arm. She then whispers to herself:</em></p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> Wide awake.</p>
<p><strong>? 2:</strong> Yes…</p>
<p><strong>?:</strong> Then why didn’t we know he would escape?</p>
<p><strong>? 2:</strong> There is only one destination, but there are many paths we take to arrive there-</p>
<p><em>The figure in the red jumpsuit kicks the entity on the ground. The figure turns her back to Alexis. Alexis moves forward with her gun pointed at the hooded figure. She closes the distance and strikes the figure in the back of the head with her pistol. The figure falls to the ground limply. Alexis illuminates the object on the ground with her flashlight. It is a small, headless humanoid creature, or rather, its head is located on its torso. Its body is limp in such a way that suggests it is missing a large portion of its bone structure. Alexis makes a startled yelp and stumbles backward.</em></p>
<p><strong>Xix:</strong> Don’t be afraid.</p>
<p>The camera moves up and down, Alexis sounds as if she is hyperventilating.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> Huh… What… What in the hell, man.</p>
<p><strong>Xix:</strong> Tell me your name. I’m referred to as Xix.</p>
<p><em>Alexis slides down against the wall, into a seated position on the floor. Then, suddenly, produces her gun and points it wildly around the cavern.</em></p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> Where are the snakes?</p>
<p><strong>Xix:</strong> They won’t hurt you. I can tell you what you need to know.</p>
<p><strong>Walker:</strong> Okay. Give me a minute.</p>
<p><em>Walker turns and vomits.</em></p>

<p><strong>Addendum F:</strong> SCP Revision Draft Review - SCP-8682-B</p>
<p><span style="color: red"><strong>Object Class:</strong></span> Safe</p>
<p><span style="color: red"><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong></span> Instances of SCP-8682-B are contained at the site of recovery due to potential surveillance risks. The area is currently cordoned from the public under a “Poisoned Waterhole” containment protocol.</p>
<p><span style="color: red"><strong>Description:</strong></span> SCP-8682 potentially had the ability to manipulate SCP-8682-B as a secondary effect.</p>
<p>SCP-8682-B consists of a chain of articulated human vertebrae capable of independent movement. These segments culminate in a hollow vertebra at the front, containing a fibrous, tongue-like appendage. SCP-8682-B specimens vary in length, ranging from just over 4 meters to 24 centimeters. Despite lacking musculature or any apparent locomotor mechanism, these segments can move. While SCP-8682-B possesses no discernible sensory organs, its tongue-like appendage is suspected to serve a sensory function. SCP-8682-B also exhibits no need for sustenance and demonstrates no aggressive behavior towards humans. However, it has been observed attempting to move objects and individuals unable to resist.</p>
<p>During an event, individuals believed to be connected with SCP-8682-B were observed maneuvering in ways that allowed them to survive improbable situations, such as enduring sustained automatic weapon fire at close range for extended periods without injury. However, the exact nature of this effect and its direct connection to SCP-8682-B remain unconfirmed.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><strong>[08:52:10]</strong> Blurry object approaches Breen’s vehicle from the rear.</p>
<p><strong>[08:54:30]</strong> A large instance of SCP-8682-B, roughly 3 meters long, appears to be accelerating towards the vehicle, which is traveling at 128 km/h. The highway is heavily congested with traffic.</p>
<p><strong>[08:54:53]</strong> Two individuals, one in a police officer's uniform and the other a strange, blob-like humanoid figure, are precariously positioned on the back of SCP-8682-B, which writhes toward the vehicle at high speed. As they come closer, it becomes clear that the officer is Alexis Walker, who is carrying the humanoid figure on her back.</p>
<p><strong>[08:56:10]</strong> More instances of SCP-8682-B appear on camera, closing in from both sides. They leave white trails of bone flaking on the highway.</p>
<p><strong>[08:56:22]</strong> Startled by the approaching SCP-8682-B, Walker manages to stay just behind Breen's vehicle. The other instances match their pace, seemingly unable to accelerate further. While converging on Breen's vehicle, they appear to ignore Walker entirely.</p>
<p><strong>[08:57:32]</strong> 1 XR-FVL-F Heavy Load Anzu, and 3 AH-64-F Apache helicopters, (Foundation assets), appear in camera view.</p>
<p><strong>[08:58:22]</strong> Walker appears frustrated, mouthing the words “Open the doors.”</p>
<p><strong>[08:59:11]</strong> Walker pulls up to the passengers side, out of camera view.</p>
<p><strong>[09:02:22]</strong> Flying, red, snake-like creatures similar to those in Addendum A move within the frame.</p>
<p><strong>[08:57:32]</strong> The 3 AH-64-F open fire on the SCP-8682-B instances nearest to Agent Breen’s vehicle. SCP-8682-B are unharmed after the short burst.</p>
<p><strong>[08:58:32]</strong> The 3 Apache helicopters divert course. The Anzu pulls out of frame, over Breen’s vehicle.</p>
<p><strong>[08:58:55]</strong> The flying snake-like creatures are fluttering in and out of frame, appearing to harass the vehicle.</p>
<p><strong>[09:05:12]</strong> They pass a sign for Nanticoke, Pennsylvania.</p>
<p><strong>[09:09:22]</strong> Breen’s vehicle begins to lift off of the ground. The camera swivels with a sudden jerk to point directly toward the ground, swaying back and forth. The SCP-8682-B instances stop moving, and rest in vertical positions.</p>
<p><strong>[09:10:12]</strong> Equipment falls to the ground, presumably from the rear of Breen's vehicle due to the rear door swinging open. The flying-snake-like creatures appear to flood past the camera and into the vehicle.</p>
<p><em>It is possible the passengers remained safe, due to a grate installed between the cabin and the cargo area.</em></p>
<p><strong>[09:20:41]</strong> The camera pans over a wooded area and remains in place until it stops swaying. It then begins to descend. A section of ground [REDACTED] a retractable grate mechanism, revealing an intake bay of Site-57.</p>
<p><em>After Breen and the cargo were secured, site security dispatched the anomalous flying creatures with light machine gun fire from the safety of embrasures within the bay. The civilian Walker was sedated and Breen was subdued with an, admittedly, nonstandard use of force by site personnel.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>XR-FVL-F are experimental cargo and transport helicopters but they are not designed to secure vehicles moving at high speeds. At the time of deployment this capability was only a hypothetical. The pilot of the Anzu believes that replicating this feat would be nearly impossible and he is unsure how, through his conscious effort, it was accomplished.</p>

SCP-8685 | <html><body><div id="page-content">
<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8685</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Keter</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8685 is to be provided with a template document inquiring about the possibility of consensual posthumous organ harvesting. To protect the veil, SCP-8685 is to act under the official guise of a non-anomalous organ donation organization. Deliveries from SCP-8685 are to be incinerated.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8685 is an organization of anomalous humans capable of medically removing and restoring wasted organs for recycled usage in humans. SCP-8685 instances do not originate from our timeline nor dimension, but do not physically differ from baseline humans. The exact methodology in which they are able to refurbish organs is unknown.</p>
<p>SCP-8685's mission statement is to provide preserve and save lives of individuals from their dimension.</p>
<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> During a routine sweep of cemeteries located around Clayton, Georgia, a representative of SCP-8685 (henceforth referred to as SCP-8685-1) was discovered surgically removing and storing various human matter from buried individuals. Due to Foundation interests and claims on the site, the confrontation was initially hostile. However eventually both sides agreed to discuss the situation peacefully.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>SCP-8685-1:</strong> I'm sorry for the miscommunication here, we really didn't think much of it. Y'all aren't using these are you?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Kremer:</strong> We have our own interests, but we're not technically using them. Nonetheless, you have no right to waltz in and take what's not yours.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8685-1:</strong> I get that, I get that. We just, don't see the harm?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Kremer:</strong> The harm of non-consensual grave robbing?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8685-1</strong>: Consensual grave robbing sounds plain silly doesn't it?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Kremer:</strong> You can't rob what you agree to let go.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8685-1:</strong> Fair; however my point was more that if we were to ask people if we were allowed to dig up ol' Grandpapa and take whatever there is left to keep that the maggots hadn't gotten to yet, I doubt they'd let us have our pickings. No way to spin it for it to work right by them, is there?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Kremer:</strong> If the answer's disgusting, I don't really want to know — but what's the point of all this anyways?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8685-1</strong>: We recycle, refurbish, refit, whatever you want to call it. In comes the ol' and out comes the new.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Kremer:</strong> So, organ donation?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8685-1:</strong> Sounds better than grave robbing, so I'll take it. But yes, that is what we do in essence.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Kremer:</strong> For us to stick that landing, how about we start with consent forms? We can print something out, and you'll just mail it to the deceased's estate?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8685-1:</strong> Listen, I knoooow that what we're doing isn't exactly 100% ethical, by the books okay and it would most definitely land us all significant jail time, but we really can't afford to take a hit to our supply at this time of year.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Kremer:</strong> Either you stick to the consent forms, or you leave empty handed guaranteed. That's just how this is going to have to work, if I know anything about our organization. I don't make the rules.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8685-1:</strong> You're serious? You think an ol' letter in the mail reading "May we defile your loved one's grave, surgically remove their rotting, mushy, horribly disfigured organs, so we can implant them in someone who may appreciate them?" would do well?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Kremer:</strong> Not saying it'll do well, but I'd at least feel a lot better about it.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8685-1:</strong> At least ol' G-Man's happy about it. Girl's dying of a failing kidney, but we have to wait for widowed meemaw to sign the consent form for her expired lover.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Kremer:</strong> At least look at what we can draft up?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8685-1:</strong> Only hope we've got.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum SCP-8685-A:</strong> Consent Form</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>Preamble: We have discovered a method to cleanly remove and restore dead matter, such as organs and skin cells. With our medical breakthrough we are able to accompany millions of dying and in-need children, men and women across the globe. For this to work however, we need your consent and support!</p>
<p>1. By signing this agreement, you agree to submit and forfeit any claim you or your estate may have on the deceased's corpse, especially as pertaining to their organs.</p>
<p>2. By signing this agreement, you forfeit any potential private claims against our organization for temporary defilement of the deceased's grave and permanent scarring of the deceased's corpse.</p>
<p>3. By signing this agreement, you agree to not report and/or testify in any cases aspertaining to the process of removing, restoring and implanting organ matter of the deceased.</p>
<p>4. By signing this agreement, you admit you have read the entirety of this document and are aware of the long lasting implications of its effects. You may not rescind this agreement for any reason. The agreement only regulates what occurs to the corpse of X (Name of the deceased).</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum SCP-8685-B:</strong> Incident Report</p>
<p>Following its drafting, SCP-8685-1 was confronted with the consent form and given a pseudonym to act under for future organ harvesting and/or organ donation matters. SCP-8685-1 scoffed and took the blank consent form with them, only shortly returning to place a 8-digit counter on the table which read "0". An inspection reveals it is remote operated, presumably from SCP-8685's home dimension.</p>
<p>After 30 seconds, the counter read 1.</p>
<p>By the end of the day, the counter read 13.492.</p>
<p>All means or efforts to intercept SCP-8685 and/or contact SCP-8685 have failed. Their existence has been confirmed as of the writing of this document, as numerous unsigned consent forms were intercepted in the US Postal System.</p>
<p>By the end of the month, the counter read 1.942.293.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum SCP-8685-C:</strong> Counter Update</p>
<p>By the end of the year, the counter reached its limit, as it did not possess the required digits to display a number greater than 99.999.999.</p>
<p>This event coincided with the arrival of shipments of rotten cadavers to Site-93, each having an arabic numeral etched onto their chest.</p>
<p>All contact to SCP-8685 has been lost.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Due to the unpredictable nature of SCP-8686 appearances, Foundation Web-Crawlers are to monitor for any listings of the anomaly on resale or auction websites. If a listing is found, efforts are to be made to remove it. Purchasing the copy is the preferred option, though taking down the listing is a valid alternative.</p>
<p>In the event that a copy of SCP-8686 is purchased, MTF Upsilon-33 ("Rushing Critics"), is to obtain the SCP-8686 instance, and administer B-Class amnestics to the exposed individuals. Agents are to maintain the belief that SCP-8686 is no more than a memory of an existing play, as established by the memetic properties of the anomaly.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8686 is an anomalous theatre experience known as "The Best Days Of Our Lives". SCP-8686 is attributed to "<a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8478">Pseudogenesis Productions</a>", alternatively known as GOI-478. The first page contains information on those involved in the production of SCP-8686.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> Instances will appear on various auction websites, including eBay, Etsy, and Craigslist, priced five to ten dollars.</p>
<p>The cover contains a memetic effect, compelling someone to open the playbill, but opening it will invariably cause the subject to be affected by more of SCP-8686's memetics and cognitohazardous effects. The various memetics that make up SCP-8686 seem to be able to exert power on the environment around the subject for the duration of the performance, manifesting furniture and entities collectively known as SCP-8686-A.</p>
<p>SCP-8686's story is in three acts, each corresponding to a unique heuristic<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> effect in the subject. Amnestic testing has shown that the show cannot be removed from the memory of any subjects.</p>
<ul>
<li>The first act elicits euphoric emotions towards the SCP-8686-A instance representing the viewer's romantic partner within SCP-8686.</li>
<li>The second act induces paranoia in the viewer, specifically regarding perceived potential flaws or character faults. The viewer is inevitably unable to determine the root cause of their conflict.</li>
<li>The third act forces the viewer to confront their flaws, resulting in a major conflict between the viewer and the SCP-8686-A instance representing their partner. This conflict inevitably leads to a moment of self-realization.</li>
</ul>
<p>An SCP-8686 performance will always follow the same act structure, and is always set within the same location, a cottage home. While the narrative varies between instances, the subject is never able to leave the set.</p>
<p>An image of an SCP-8686 listing is included below for reference.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 8686.1:</strong> Experiment Log</p>
<div class="log_div">
<div class="log_text">
<p><strong>Preface:</strong> D-2231, a Class-D personnel, was given an instance of SCP-8686. The show was recorded as to understand the true nature of SCP-8686 performances. Only portions of the recording were recoverable, separated by glitches. It is believed a portion of each act was captured.</p>
<hr/>
<p>(<em>The environment begins to shift into the cottage set of SCP-8686 as Act One opens. D-2231 is standing in the front door, holding a bag of groceries.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> Woah— Oh. Did I go to the store?</p>
<p>(<em>D-2231 walks through the halls, before coming face to face with an instance of SCP-8686-A. D-2231 shifts awkwardly.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> … Carol? They took you in too?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> Dear, are you feeling alright? Oh, you got the groceries! Did you make sure to pick up some eggs? We're out.</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> I—</p>
<p>(<em>D-2231 looks at the bag, nodding to SCP-8686-A.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> Yeah. It looks like I did.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> Are you hungry, then? I could go for an omelet, and I know how much you like them.</p>
<p>(<em>D-2231 pauses for a moment, staring at the instance of SCP-8686-A. There is a pause, before tears can be seen in the footage.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> I missed you. So much.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> It's okay now. It's okay.</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> You said you would never leave me, and here we are.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> I remember when I said that. You came home and I was drunk on the couch.</p>
<p>(<em>D-2231 chuckles and gets closer to SCP-8686-A, hugging it.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> I missed you. So much, Carol.</p>
<p>(<em>D-2231's chuckles turn slowly into sobs, hugging the instance closer.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> I missed you too, Ash.</p>
<p>(<em>D-2231 looks down at SCP-8686-A while in an embrace, tears flowing. SCP-8686-A wipes away some of her tears, smiling warmly.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> I couldn't ask for anyone better.</p>
<p>(<em>They kiss.</em>)</p>
</div>
<div class="log_text">
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> You said you wouldn't do that anymore.</p>
<p>(<em>D-2231 takes a sip from a green glass bottle.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> Seriously? I quit. I quit drinking for you.</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> Let's just enjoy the moment. Want a sip?</p>
<p>(<em>SCP-8686-A makes a disgusted face at D-2231.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> You'd better be wasted.</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> I actually think I'm rather insightful. Are you sure?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> Ash. I've been sober for five months now. Are you fucking kidding me?</p>
<p>(<em>SCP-8686-A clenches its jaw, brushing its hair to the side and glaring at D-2231.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> I'm going to get some fresh air. Feel free to join me when you're <em>thinking</em> again.</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> Carol, I don't see the problem. I'm not a drunkard like you were—</p>
<p>(<em>SCP-8686-A glares at D-2231 as tears form.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> Every day, you made me feel bad for drinking. It was a fucking problem, yes, I needed help, but you didn't have to say what you did. You told me I was going to die from it, that I was gonna end up in a fucking gutter.</p>
<p>(<em>SCP-8686-A's lip quivers as they begin to cry.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> Why in Hell would you say that to me, and why in the love of Christ would you keep drinking— No, why are you <em>still</em> drinking?</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> Carol, sweetheart, you just don't get—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> No, don't try to talk your way out of this.</p>
<p>(<em>D-2231 visibly sinks lower into her chair, taking a sip from her drink.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> And put down the bottle. I just want you to practice what you preach. Please.</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> Okay. Okay, I promise that I'll quit. I'm sorry. I love you, and I'm going to go sleep off my drinks.</p>
<p>(<em>SCP-8686-A nods, as D-2231 stands up and the scene shifts into a bedroom.</em>)</p>
<p>(<em>D-2231 takes a flask, frowning as she downs the contents. Her body trembles.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> Last one… Last one. I promise.</p>
</div>
<div class="log_text">
<p>(<em>D-2231 looks to the front door, where SCP-8686-A stands. She has tear-stained eyes and is shaking.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> I'm sorry, I don't want you to leave— please darling, come back.</p>
<p>(<em>SCP-8686-A looks back, sniffling as tears flow from its eyes.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> I feel like I don't even know you. You won't quit. You won't go to rehab. You won't go to therapy. It's like you don't even want to change.</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> I love you though, so much, more than anything else in this stupid small world. Please. Don't leave me alone. I don't want to be alone, you're the only thing that keeps going.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> I can't do this anymore. You're hurting yourself with your addiction, and then you turn around and hurt me. You—</p>
<p>(<em>SCP-8686-A's voice trembles, choking up.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8686-A:</strong> You can say you love me all you want, but every time I see you drink it reminds me of a past I had to crawl out of alone. And you have the gall to throw that back at me, after <em>everything</em> you know I've been through? I'm done.</p>
<p><strong>D-2231:</strong> Carol, honey—</p>
<p>(<em>SCP-8686-A walks out of the cottage, slamming the door shut.</em>)</p>
<p>(<em>D-2231 sits in the house, making her way onto the couch.</em>)</p>
<p>(<em>She curls up into a ball, covering herself in a blanket and mumbling nothings to herself to try and calm down. The only remaining noises in the recording are D-2231's sobs, and the dull buzz of the stage lights. After ten minutes of crying, she falls asleep.</em>)</p>
<p>(<em>The show ends.</em>)</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>After the experiment, D-2231 requested Foundation psychiatric services to aid her in mitigating her alcoholism. The request was granted, and D-2231 showed exceptional progress in her recovery.</p>
<p>Efforts are ongoing to identify SCP-8686-A from D-2231's recorded performance. Despite D-2231's insistence, they have never been in a relationship or married to any individuals named 'Carol'. As such, SCP-8686-A's existence as a real individual is pending further investigation.</p>

<hr/>
<p>Hey Heather,</p>
<p>I'm swamped with trying to undo the mess we made last week when we were trying to help M&C remember to lock the cognitohazard lab, so I can't handle this.</p>
<p>But it looks weird. I think there's some meme fuckery happening, and I only know a handful of people who can understand them as well as I can.</p>
<p>Pretty please will you look into this and just write a quick file on it?</p>
<p>Thaaaaanks,<br/>

<p><em>Hi Dr. Lillihammer,</em></p>
<p><em>I was going through some archives in I&T and found some documentation from your old workstation. We flipped through it, and realized that we had an unresolved AO just sitting around in our archive, that you never finished working on.</em></p>
<p><em>After you stopped work on it, it seems like everybody just…forgot about it? It's been sitting there for years now, and my boss wants it gone ASAP, so could you help us out here? We keep trying to figure it out, but nobody seems able to stay with it that long.</em></p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> AO-8688</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Unknown</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> AO-8688 is in Site-43's I&T Isolation and Storage area, kept within containment chamber IT-8688.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> AO-8688 is a set of anomalous objects consisting of a desktop computer, monitor, peripherals and assorted unknown components. AO-8688 has undetermined anomalous properties - the Foundation is, however, positive that containment should be continued. I'm sure it's important, I'll get to it once I can get Eileen off my ass.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum:</strong> Hey, this is Lillihammer — I swear I'm going to get back to this eventually, so <strong>NOBODY ELSE TOUCH IT</strong>, okay?</p>
<div class="danke site">
<p>Really Lillian? You thought that this might help me?</p>
</div>
<div class="danke site">
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>I haven't looked at it in a while, alright? What does the file say?</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="danke site">
<p>You still haven't looked at it? It explains why nobody else worked on this file, they're all too scared of you and your threatening addendum.</p>
</div>
<div class="danke site">
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>I'll show you my threatening addendum.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Following this email correspondence, Researcher Garrison attempted to locate AO-8688, to begin further research.</p>
<div class="blockquote" style="border-radius: 10px; margin: 10px">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>VIDEO LOG</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>DATE:</strong> 11/19/2018</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Footage is from Foundation security cameras within Site-43's I&T AO containment archive, inside of Chamber IT-8688. Heather Garrison was the only researcher in attendance.</p>
<hr/>
<p>[BEGIN LOG]</p>
<p><em>Heather Garrison enters the chamber, placing a pad and pen on the desk, as well as setting a tape recorder down. She presses "record".</em></p>
<p><strong>Heather Garrison:</strong> This is Heather Garrison, taking care of Lilli's messes. I mean, examining AO-8688. AO-8688 appears to be some old computer covered in a thick layer of dust. I don't think the dust is anomalous.</p>
<p><em>Heather wipes her finger over the keyboard, and the monitor turns on. Current information suggests that AO-8688 has been plugged in to a power source for the entire span since last worked on by Dr. Lillihammer</em></p>
<p><strong>Heather Garrison:</strong> It's still plugged in? Lillian, don't you know you should always power down your electronics? Now let's see—</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison looks at the monitor — an unlock screen for a currently unidentified operating system is displayed. The image stutters, glitching and being replaced with a minor cognitohazard for 5 milliseconds. Heater winces, and looks away.</em></p>
<p><strong>Heather Garrison:</strong> Well. That's definitely Lil's work — I'd recognize it anywhere at this point. It feels like her.</p>
<p><em>Heather begins to write on the page. As she does, she dictates to the tape recorder as well.</em></p>
<p><strong>Heather Garrison:</strong> I am now transcribing this with pen and paper, as I record it into a vocal recorder. I believe that I have been exposed to a minor cognitohazard designed to induce forgetfulness or lack of interest in this anomalous object.</p>
<p>I believe that this is the result of Lillian's possessiveness, and not related to the anomaly. However, due to the fact that the anomalous effect may be more than just one of Lillihammer's creations, I am recording this across multiple media forms, in an attempt to avoid any antimemetic effects.</p>
<p><em>Heather puts down her pen and stops the recording. She releases a frustrated, but subdued yell of frustration.</em></p>
<p><strong>Heather Garrison:</strong> Thanks Lils. Guess you have to help me out here.</p>
<hr/>
<p>[END LOG]</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Dr. Garrison exited the containment chamber, and appeared to pause for a second. After a beat, she resumed walking, exhibiting only slight symptoms of disorientation. After Dr. Garrison examined her notepad, it is noted that she reacted in surprise and frustration based on the contents.</p>
</div>
<div class="danke site">
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>Okay, in my defense - it's really funny. Like it's so rough and a complete hack job of a meme? I can't believe I made this.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="danke site">
<p>I can't believe you work-roofied me, from something you did over two decades ago. Can you please fix this?</p>
</div>
<div class="danke site">
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>Huh. Two decades?</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="danke site">
<p>Yes Lillian, time unfortunately, marches ever onwards.</p>
</div>
<div class="danke site">
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>I don't think that's right.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="danke site">
<p>Lilli, it doesn't matter how many times you blow up the site, time is still passing.</p>
</div>
<div class="danke site">
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>Hmm. Doubtful.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>After Dr. Lillihammer was alerted to the existence of a cognitohazard limiting research into AO-8688, a countermeme was developed that negated the effect, allowing Dr. Garrison to continue research into the anomaly. After beginning research into the AO, Dr. Garrison moved for the object to be reclassified as a full SCP. Reclassification is pending.</p>

<p>Remains of the church at the center of SCP-8692.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> A perimeter has been established around SCP-8692, with at least one member of Foundation personnel surveilling the area from Outpost-31 at any given time to prevent civilian trespassing. Should any unauthorized personnel be seen within the perimeter, Mobile Task Force Delta-18 ("Big Irons") are to be dispatched to retrieve the intruder, who is to be brought to Area-09 for interrogation and administered Class-A amnestics.</p>
<p>Objects SCP-8692-1 through SCP-8692-4 are to be kept in separate standard containment lockers at Outpost-31 when not in use for testing.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8692 is the burned-out ruins of a town in the Great Basin Desert, Nevada, approximately 2.2km² in area and █ miles from Area-09. Subjects entering the area of SCP-8692 report an abnormally heightened sense of dread, often to the point of inciting a “flight” response, with certain subjects instead reporting a desire to commit an act of violence regardless of any history with violence. These urges are consistently reported to be motivated by a feeling of revenge.</p>
<p>Four anomalous objects were discovered and retrieved by MTF Delta-18 during the initial quarantine and sweep of SCP-8692. These objects are listed below.</p>
<ul>
<li>SCP-8692-1: A Stetson-brand ten-gallon hat, believed to have been manufactured in 186█. The object contains trace amounts of Tartarean Resonance Energy. Hair samples taken from SCP-8692-1 were evaluated by Foundation researchers, but provided no DNA.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></li>
<li>SCP-8692-2: A dagger composed of an iron handle and a blade made of an unknown metal alloy. The blade itself is stained with dried blood, which was tested for DNA. None was present. SCP-8692-2 is the only object of the set that does not emit or contain any TRE.</li>
<li>SCP-8692-3: A wooden acoustic guitar of unknown make and model. The leftmost string of the guitar is broken. Similar to SCP-8692-1, the object contains trace amounts of TRE.</li>
<li>SCP-8692-4: An 1851 Colt Navy Revolver containing a single .36 caliber round in its cylinder. All attempts to dislodge the round without firing the weapon have been unsuccessful. Both the round and an unknown symbol on the handle of the revolver emit a high concentration of TRE.</li>
</ul>
<p>Subjects who make direct physical contact with any of the four objects report a brief burning sensation in the part of their body that made contact and hearing an unfamiliar voice whisper something in their ear (see Testing Log SCP-8692-B).</p>
<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> When Area-09 was considering new training grounds for MTFs, Agent ████ was sent to survey a single square kilometer of the desert near the Area. Agent ████ promptly returned to Area-09, reporting that she had found the burned ruins of a town but felt an anomalous sense of extreme dread that forced her to retreat. SCP-8692 was deemed a cognitohazard and MTF Delta-18 was formed from agents with particularly high CRVs, who were then able to establish the bounds of SCP-8692 and identify objects SCP-8692-1 through SCP-8692-4.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum SCP-8692-A:</strong> During routine surveillance of SCP-8692, personnel have reported seeing various people and hearing various noises within the perimeter. These have been hypothesized to be hallucinations, as none of the trespassers have been caught on security footage and none of the sounds (which include screams, gunshots, and the crackling of firewood) have been traced to a source.</p>

<p>Dear Dr. Scotts,<br/>
Thank you for reaching out. I have taken great interest in this project, and I have spoken with coworkers in the Parareligions Division in a hope to identify the organization that you believe to have occupied the area. As of current, there is no reason to believe that the area was occupied by a parareligion, but we cannot be sure.</p>
<p>As for SCP-8692-4, it's very possible that it may contain an entity as you described. It's also possible that the round or firearm itself is a demonic artifact. I have put in an experiment request with administration in the hopes to take a closer look, and it should reach your desk soon. As of now, it is my expert opinion that the round inside of SCP-8692-4 should not be discharged until we can be absolutely certain what will happen.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br/>

</div>
<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8699</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Uncontained</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> As SCP-8699 effects are localized to Foundation Thaumaturge Sirius Reverend and pose no threat to the veil no efforts are currently being made to contain and/or neutralize SCP-8699's anomaly.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8699 is a continuous series of anomalous events surrounding Sirius Reverend following the death of Vivian Reverend on July 27th, 2013. These events typically manifest while Reverend is home alone, but have manifested in multiple other locations, and, in rare cases, in front of other people.</p>
<p>A brief list of manifestations has been compiled by Researcher Jack Simmons, on the behalf of Sirius Reverend, below. For a full list, please refer to document 8699-Events.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum-8699-1:</strong></p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>Reverend falls asleep whilst reading a book. When he wakes the book is sitting on his bedside table, a bookmark denoting the exact page he had left off on. A cold glass of water sits beside it, four ice cubes floating inside. He stares at the glass silently.</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>Two mugs — one denoted with the letter "S", the other with the letter "V" — sit beside Reverend's coffee machine. Out of habit he pours two cups of coffee, leaving the second behind as he walks off. When he returns the second cup is nearly empty, save for about a centimeter of liquid at the bottom. He pours out the rest, but the old, ringed stain along the bottom remains.</p>

<p>Reverend is practicing thaumaturgy alone in his backyard. For a moment he feels eyes upon him from behind. Absentmindedly, he switches to practicing a more visible spell, finishing the casting with an extra, unnecessary flair of thaumaturgic energy one wouldn't usually add. Faint laughter and claps echo from behind him, but when he turns around the sound is gone. He sighs and resumes practicing non-visible thaumaturgy.</p>

<p>Reverend is standing outside of Site-37, staring up at the stars as he smokes for the first time in several years. The sky is clear, hundreds of stars shining amidst the black sky. A shooting star streaks past and Reverend breaths out a silent wish. He lowers his gaze, and for a moment he sees Vivian standing across the street, frowning slightly. His breath hitches. He takes a step towards her, but a car passes between the two, and she is gone. He looks between the stars and where Vivian had "stood." He stomps out the cigarette.</p>

<p>On May 21st — Sirius and Vivian's anniversary — Reverend drinks himself to the point of blacking out, during which he sends approximately thirty six messages to Vivian's phone number, the general message of which is that he misses her. When he wakes up the next morning, a text notification pops up under her name, but when he opens it there is no message. He drops the phone on the floor, shattering the screen, before falling back into bed. He does not show up for work.</p>

He faintly hears the curtain open and close, hears the quiet creak of metal as the "hot" nozzle is turned and the water heats up, just as it did every time she joined him. The water burns his skin, a blazing reminder of her. Reverend remains in the shower for nearly two hours.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong></p>
<p>Due to its immobile nature, SCP-8700 is housed within Site-536, a largely subterranean modernised medieval fortress disguised as a volcanic research station located within the lower eastern slope of Mt. Etna. Site-536 is equipped with multiple redundant fire suppression systems, extensive fortification, strategic choke points, automated weaponry/artillery, and ground penetrating radar for the purpose of monitoring SCP-8700-1's position and activity level. SCP-8700 itself is physically restrained in place via heat resistant locking mechanisms and a ballistic glass containment vessel atop a 70 metre tall column within its containment chamber. The column is 40 metres from the sole entry point, accessible only via mechanical drawbridge. Access to SCP-8700s containment chamber is limited to daily inspections by technicians accompanied by SCP-8700-A. Level 3 and higher personnel are forbidden from entering the containment chamber, unless actively preventing an Excalibur Event.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>In addition to standard Foundation personnel, Site-536 is to house a dedicated defence force at company strength. All on-site staff must score highly on weekly anti-coercion tests, and staff are to be rotated through other Foundation sites to mitigate the mental effects of SCP-8700 exposure. No personnel are to remain within SCP-8700s area of effect for two months or longer, with an additional two months before they may be allowed to work in Site-536 again. In the weeks preceding an Excalibur Event, Site-536 is to be reinforced by a minimum of two companies of armed task forces, typically sourced from MTF-Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") operatives. All Foundation staff joining Site-536 are to be inducted with SCP-8700-A.</p>
<p>No open flame may be produced on site, and all on-site personnel are to be equipped with gas masks at all times in preparation for the appearance of toxic gases. Reptiles that manifest within Site-536 are to be captured by on-site herpetologists when safe, and relocated via Wilson's Wildlife Services. Stores of antivenin are to be housed on site in the event of envenomations.</p>
<p>Individuals approaching Site-536 are to be redirected under the guise of avoiding noxious gases. Any persons circumventing the site perimeter are to be subdued by on-site defences and relinquished to local authorities. All areas known to be within SCP-8700's area of effects have been sealed to the public under the guise of volcanic research.</p>
<p>Upon the detection of an Excalibur Event a search is conducted for signs of SCP-8700-2 manifestation within a 200km radius of Site-536 via satellite heat mapping, police reports and standard Foundation surveillance. When located, SCP-8700-2 instances are to be intercepted and contained for later remote termination. Should this not be feasible, the usage of air strikes, naval strikes and other militarised activity may be approved on a case by case basis in order to terminate the anomaly on location. Should an instance reach Site-536, on-site personnel, defence forces and armed task forces are to take up defensive positions and terminate the entity by any means necessary. The on-Site AIC will aid personnel in terminating the entity via remote operation of blast doors, usage of water cannons and automated weaponry. SCP-8700-A is authorised to aid Foundation personnel in the defence of Site-536, and is to be supplied with necessary equipment, including SCP-8700-A1, to aid it in combat.</p>
<p>Ongoing research is to be conducted into the origins and nature of SCP-8700, with extensive ongoing interviews to be conducted with SCP-8700-A, with the goal of forcing SCP-8700 into a more stable condition. A cache of Ichneumon class weapons<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> are held on-site for research and contingency purposes.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p>SCP-8700 is a 4.6 metre long two-handed sword, similar in form to 16th century Venetian swords, that has been driven into a large igneous stone via unknown means. The stone is anomalously hard, measuring 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, and bears faded Latin engravings upon its surface. SCP-8700 is ornate, with numerous rings and parrying lugs, a convex blade edge, octagonal pommel, and multiple thaumaturgic runes etched into the surface of the handle and blade, composed of a mixture of various varieties of steel. 1.6 metres of the blade has been exposed from the stone, with the remainder of the blade still housed within. MicroCT scans show that the blade of SCP-8700 was previously embedded within the stone to a depth of 3.4 metres, but the channel it has left will not allow for the sword to be re-inserted. The blade is extremely sharp, capable of slicing through organic material with minimal force applied<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>. Due to SCP-8700's large size making it impractical for use by a non-anomalous humanoid, it is theorised to have been forged from multiple other weapons, supported by the size and patterning of SCP-8700's steel.</p>
<p>SCP-8700 produces an area of anomalous effect within a 444 metre radius of itself, the most significant of which is mind-affecting in nature. Persons within this radius are susceptible to feelings of greed, irritability and anger, as well as manifesting signs of narcissistic personality disorder and pyromania. Audiovisual hallucinations are also common, typically in the form of hearing growls, hisses and slithering sounds, as well as seeing golden eyes in dark spaces or reflections. These effects worsen with prolonged exposure to SCP-8700's effects, but can be mitigated by counselling and medications, though risks becoming permanent aspects of the individual's personality and mentality if exposed for excessive amounts of time<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> or if the individual is more susceptible to mental coercion. Persons affected in such a way may develop severe progressive ichthyosis over their entire body should they remain within SCP-8700's area of effect for greater than three months.</p>
<p>Open flames within SCP-8700's area of effect possess anomalous properties. Fire in the area will burn at higher temperatures while using less fuel than non-anomalous fire, and material will catch fire more easily; non-anomalous paper will catch fire at 451 Centigrade, but has ignited at temperatures as low as 200 centigrade within SCP-8700's area of effect.</p>
<p>Noxious gases spontaneously form in the area, typically sulphur dioxide or chlorine trifluoride. Additionally to this, various reptiles will spontaneously manifest within SCP-8700's area of effect, typically emerging from volcanic vents, air ducts, and desk drawers. These were initially believed to be exclusively native reptiles, but following a 2008 manifestation of several komodo dragons (<em>Varanus komodoensis</em>) within the site barracks and the 2011 manifestation of a fierce snake (<em>Oxyuranus microlepidotus</em>) within a desk drawer, this is no longer the case. These reptiles appear drawn to SCP-8700 via anomalous means, and will behave with aggression, particularly during Excalibur Events.</p>
<p>Research and experience has shown that the further SCP-8700 is pulled from the stone, the more acute and widespread the above effects become. This is the result of the sword functioning as a thaumaturgic seal, keeping an entity historically referred to as "The Wyrm", henceforth referred to as SCP-8700-1, beneath the mountain. Research and interviews suggest that the full removal of the sword from the stone will allow SCP-8700-1 to escape its prison beneath Mt. Etna, resulting in a catastrophic eruption and a potential K class event.</p>
<p>SCP-8700-1 can be detected via ground penetrating radar at a depth of approximately 3300 metres below sea level, within a large magma chamber. Though readings can only give a vague impression of the entity's size and form, it is clear that SCP-8700-1 is colossal in size, with estimates ranging between 800 and 1700 metres in length. It appears to be six limbed, with a long neck and tail. SCP-8700-1 posses an indeterminate number of necks and heads, with scans detecting between one and several dozen heads at different times. Long range microphones often observe acoustic events described as growling, hissing and roaring, emitting from SCP-8700-1's vicinity. These recordings are made within the same time period during which surface-borne equipment detects volcanic emissions. While capable of limited movement, SCP-8700-1 appears unable to move from its position as if restrained. These thrashing movements can cause volcanic eruptions as they force magma towards the surface, and increase in frequency and vigour leading up to Excalibur Events.</p>
<p>Engravings and carvings found within Site-536 depict it as an enormous draconic creature. Said engravings portray it as having a very long neck in relation to the rest of its body, as well as a flattened, fanged head with some resemblance to the lizard family Varanidae, with some researchers arguing a resemblance to a crocodylimorph. Its skull also appears to bear a mane, or many spines and horns; analysis of the stone has found the remains of gold flake pigment in engravings of the entity's eyes, informing a yellow or golden eye colour. It is frequently depicted with fire emerging from its mouth, and followed by various creatures not matching any existing wildlife. Certain depictions, notably those believed to be associated with an ancient Greek origin, depict the entity with multiple heads, with a damaged segment possibly having depicted a humanoid. These artefacts have raised the possibility of a cultural link between SCP-8700-1 and the entity known as Typhon, a divine monster defeated by Zeus in Greek mythology.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Excalibur Events:</strong></p>
<p>Every four to six years, SCP-8700-1 will enter an active period termed an "Excalibur Event". These periods induce an increase in volcanic activity in the region through SCP-8700-1's direct physical seismic influence, and directly correlate to the manifestation of SCP-8700-2.</p>
<p>SCP-8700-2 are reptilian creatures of variable size and shape, which will develop direct knowledge of SCP-8700. These entities may originate either through the sudden metamorphosis of an apparently random or unrelated human being somewhere on the island of Sicily during the beginning stages of the event, or rarely spontaneously emerging from mountainous earth in the general region of Mt. Etna. Upon manifestation, all SCP-8700-2 instances will proceed to make their way toward SCP-8700 and Site-536, destructively creating as direct a path as they are capable of. They will not seek out prey, but display an extremely violent defence response.</p>
<p>While the specific size and biology of SCP-8700-2 individuals is inconsistent, they universally develop a knowledge of SCP-8700's location and a single-minded desire to remove it from its lodging, with formerly human individuals losing any interest in their previous lives. They may range from 300 to an excess of 5000 kilograms in mass, with human-origin individuals being smaller. All 8700-2 specimens have extremely thick and scaled skin, and develop novel organs (a 'third lung' appearing to produce volatile gases and fluids) rendering them capable of emitting explosive blasts of flame from their mouths. The usage of these blasts has been observed to damage the entities' faces and throats, particularly if the instance is newly formed. After this initial period, however, SCP-8700-2 instances prove more or less immune to most small arms fire and anti-vehicle munitions, as well as an absolute resistance to thermal weaponry and heat. Expired individuals violently combust within seconds of termination.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>The process of a person becoming a SCP-8700-2 instance is not fully understood, but can be detected through various signs, spikes in temperature being the most reliable. Individuals in the process of becoming a SCP-8700-2 instance radiate an increasing amount of heat, initially appearing as a severe fever, but soon progressing into the hundreds of degrees. This is accompanied by massive increases in aggression and loss of personality in the afflicted person, before a rapid metamorphosis occurs over a period of 10 minutes to 48 hours, though the instance will continue to grow and mutate the longer it survives. The core temperature of an SCP-8700-2 instance continuously increases, to the point of combusting material on contact. They are capable of tool and weapon use, but are generally of below human intellect in most regards. Unless terminated, human borne SCP-8700-2 instances typically survive between 10 and 30 days before the strain of their internal temperature causes them to self immolate.</p>
<p>Spontaneously manifested SCP-8700-2 instances can be detected by a more gradually emerging and more extreme spike in local temperature in the area in which they appear. These instances are more easily detected and take longer to emerge than human borne instances, but are much larger and more destructive on average, with a greater variance in form and threat projection.</p>
<p>SCP-8700-2 instances typically cause widespread destruction in the path between their origin point and Site-536 if not terminated or contained promptly, and present a significant risk to normalcy, property and life in the area. They often display sadistic and needlessly destructive behaviours towards civilians in their path, and in some rare cases individuals exposed to SCP-8700-2 instances' bodily fluids can themselves be transfigured into secondary instances themselves. Instances have proven to be growing larger, stronger and more durable with each Excalibur Event, necessitating greater effort and resources to contain.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Addendum 1: Notable Excalibur Events</strong></p>
<p>While the majority of Excalibur Events are anticipated and conclude with the swift containment and termination of the SCP-8700-2 instance, some events have proven more noteworthy. Below is a brief history of some of the more significant Excalibur Events, along with how they were resolved.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 27/10/1963<br/>
<strong>Location:</strong> Vita, Sicily</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8700-2 instance manifested through Fillipo Luna, a local mechanic and bare knuckle boxing champion. Specimen was 4.6m tall, bipedal, scaled and possessed three heads.</p>
<p><strong>Termination:</strong> Contained on site by Foundation personnel, terminated via liquid nitrogen immersion.</p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong> The instance proved adept at improvising weaponry, terminated 8 MTF members.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 18/06/1978<br/>
<strong>Location:</strong> Pedara, Sicily</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> The SCP-8700-2 instance manifested through Pino Ammaniti, a farmer under police investigation for ties to a kidnapping and ransom plot in the area. Upon full manifestation, the entity was a large worm-like creature possessing four heads, resembling eyeless versions of Mr. Ammanitis. It possessed three arms and a multitude of large white, fleshy, finger-like protrusions it used to move. It constantly produced a cognitohazardous wailing sound that affected the ability of humans to perceive it.</p>
<p><strong>Termination:</strong> Following its emergence, the entity was able to use its ability and proximity to Site-536 to enter the site, causing 38 staff casualties. It was terminated via multiple decapitations and bodily trauma by SCP-8700-A.</p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong> The appearance of the entity so close to Site-536 is cause for great concern, and led to the adoption of a wider site perimeter and reprogramming of the on-site AIC to target difficult to perceive entities with greater effectiveness.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 15/01/1983<br/>
<strong>Location:</strong> Mt. Pecoraro, Italy</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> A gradual heat spike was detected in Mt. Pecoraro, but appeared not to manifest as the entity seemingly formed underground and did not surface. Readings showed that it approached Site-536 underground, emerging into the sea at the southern edge of the Italian mainland before continuing its approach. It vaguely resembled a 24 metre long multi-limbed fossorial viperfish, producing intense flames from between plates of its carapace.</p>
<p><strong>Termination:</strong> Due to the speed at which it moved, the SCP-8700-2 instance was able to reach Site-536 before it could be intercepted by the <em>SCPS Gurthang</em>, and was able to assault the site. It was terminated at south-east defensive position 2 via sustained howitzer fire after being immobilised by SCP-8700-A.</p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong> Following the entry of the entity into Site-536, the installation of an additional seven blast doors was approved.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 13/10/2006<br/>
<strong>Location:</strong> Palermo, Sicily</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Vincenzo Emile Marco, a convicted mass murder serving a life sentence in Pagliarelli prison was transfigured into an SCP-8700-2 instance within a solitary confinement cell over the course of 18 hours before emerging as a 7 metre tall winged humanoid possessing large horns and a skeletal head reminiscent of extinct predatory synapsids, capable of producing molten lava from its body. It breached its cell and approached Site-536 via multiple means, including the usage of automotive transport.</p>
<p><strong>Termination:</strong> The SCP-8700-2 instance was terminated within Site-536 in a joint effort between Site staff, armed task force personnel and AIC operated weaponry before being bludgeoned to death by SCP-8700-A.</p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong> Upon breaching the prison cell, the instance displayed significant cunning in avoiding attack and detection by Foundation forces, allowing it to reach Site-536 in a short period of time. It proved particularly vicious in its assault, making frequent use of any weaponry it was able to acquire and incorporating wreckage into its body to act as armor.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 03/05/2012<br/>
<strong>Location:</strong> Mediterranean Sea</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8700-2 instance manifested through Aitana Abatantuono, an online influencer performing a photo shoot on her yacht. Upon transformation, the entity was a 3.6 metre long semi humanoid figure with a piscene tail, finned wings and talons which dove into the water and approached Site-536 at great speed.</p>
<p><strong>Termination:</strong> The entity was intercepted en route to the site by the SCPS Gurthang, an horizon class destroyer, and terminated via depth charges.</p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong> Cavitation proved to be an extremely effective method of termination. Naval activity was explained to be a training exercise of the Italian navy.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 30/11/2015<br/>
<strong>Location:</strong> Comino, Malta</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> A nine headed serpentine entity bearing a pair of humanoid arms covered in a thick carapace, dozens of spines, also possessing 40 pairs of vaguely human arms along its length measuring 8 metres long and weighing 900kg emerged from the earth on the northern edge of the island, causing a small fire as it emerged. It was able to spit venom in a manner similar to spitting cobras. This venom proved extremely potent and necrotic.</p>
<p><strong>Termination:</strong> The entity was able to down a Foundation A-10 aircraft by firing long range streams of molten lava from its mouths, but in spite of this was rapidly engaged by Foundation ground forces and forced into a mobile containment cell with minimal casualties, before being transported to a remote site to be terminated via cavitation and arms fire. Termination attempts have thus far proved unsuccessful.</p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong> The removal of a head from the specimen prompted the rapid growth of an additional two heads from the site of the wound. At present the instance possesses 47 heads.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 2: Discovery and History of Site-536</strong></p>
<p>SCP-8700 was discovered by the nascent Foundation in the 19th century, but only taken under Foundation control in 1953 when it was discovered that it had fallen under Chaos Insurgency control four years prior<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup>. Once containment procedures were established, the Foundation set about cataloguing and documenting all materials, inscriptions and iconography present within what was now termed Site-536. Multiple items of note were found, including Chaos Insurgency weaponry seemingly derived from the effects of SCP-8700 that were reverse engineered by the Foundation into the Ichneumon class lancer.</p>
<p>Of particular note were numerous inscriptions in 33 languages within the castle detailing the emergence of a "Dragon" or "Wyrm"<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> from Mt. Etna on the 15th of July, 1529 which proceeded to wreak havoc and devastation across Europe for thirty years, producing a multitude of monstrous children to carry out its will. The presence of the wyrm's offspring spread like a pestilence<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup>. While people fled the continent in terror or remained in their homes, hiding from SCP-8700-1, the entity incinerated armies and sacked cities, plundering their wealth and transporting it to its lair in Mt. Vesuvius.</p>
<p>In this thirty year period, an order of knights and sorcerers formed to end the wyrm's reign of terror. A prominent member of this order, only ever named as "The Urdalṭaši", declared that the wyrm had previously been defeated by an Olympian king thousands of years before, and had been sealed within the mountain. While their skill and sorcery was great, it could not compare to that of the Olympian king, and thus would require the forging of a "Holy and fell" blade. Members of the order were dispatched to retrieve various artefacts to be used in the sword's construction, such as "The sword of Briton", "The swords of Roland and Charlemagne" and "The wrathful blade of the North." With these relics, the "Great Blade" was forged and inscribed with powerful magic and runes to defeat and imprison the wyrm. The founder of the order and greatest warrior among them, a potentially anomalous man of unknown name and origin, was chosen to wield the blade. He was imbued with all the magic and blessings the order and those opposed to the wyrm could provide, making him "Greater and more terrible than the dawn." He was dubbed "the Fell Hand", and quenched the blade in the blood of one of the wyrm's children in order to draw the entity out. The order then proceeded to Mt. Etna to issue their challenge, for only there could the wyrm be imprisoned.</p>
<p>While the above details varied between inscriptions and books, the following passage remained consistent across all versions, and has been included below.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>Issuing a mighty shout, the Fell Hand thrust his sword into the sky, its mighty blade shining like the sun beneath the darkened heavens. In his rage and hubris, the dread Wyrm came screaming from the sky, and his landing laid low many men. His fury was so great that his roars and bellows deafened many, but the Fell Hand stood strong. The Wyrm charged, spewing flame and hatred in equal measure. The Fell Hand charged, swinging his blade with more might and skill than this world shall ever witness again. For 40 days and 40 nights their battle raged. The Wyrm's children laying low the companions of the Fell Hand, and the companions slaying the Wyrm's foul children upon the mountainside in turn. Come dawn of the final day, the Fell Hand drew to him both his closest brother Macarius Vschar and the secretive mage The Urdalṭaši, conspiring to bait the Wyrm into one final trap, upon which the hopes and fates of all men would rest.</p>
<p>Drawing the Wyrm into the open, Macarius took the body of the Dragon's son, holding it aloft as a fell banner. In his bottomless rage and malice, the Wyrm came for Macarius, spewing black magick from his eyes and flame from his throat. With his mighty blade and the last of his will, the Fell Hand sprung from his hiding place and plunged the sword deep into the Wyrm's belly and rent its body with a mighty cry. Never before had the Dragon met such injury at the hands of men, and he cried out in terror, seizing the Fell Hand in his mighty claws even as the Urdalṭaši, that mightiest of sorcerers, led his disciples in opening the earth. The Wyrm laughed cruelly, believing he had slain the Fell Hand even as it slid into the chasm. 'What wilt thou do now?' It laughed 'Now thy meagre champion lies dead before thy feet?' The Fell Hand's voice once more rang out, a mighty roar of defiance and fury as he plunged the sword into the stone of the earth with his dying breath, and caused all the world to hold still as though holding its own breath. Defeated by the might of the Fell Hand, the magick of the Urdalṭaši, and the sacrifice of Macarius, the Wyrm was struck by a mighty thunderbolt, channelled by the Urdalṭaši through the sword itself, which smote his ruin into the fiery depths of the earth.</p>
<p>Here we remember the Fell Hand, mightiest of men. The Urdalṭaši and his order, whose like will never again be known, and the brave souls of the Order, whose sacrifice brought a new dawn for all the world.</p>

</div>
<p>Further details of the history of SCP-8700 and Site-536 detailed that following the containment of SCP-8700-1, the Urdalṭaši, a suspected Daevite thaumaturge, ordered the construction of a castle at the site of SCP-8700 in order to defend it from any who would seek the release of SCP-8700-1. While the magic imprisoning SCP-8700-1 was great, it was suspected that whatever force had held it previously was far greater, necessitating additional means in order to protect SCP-8700. He then worked with the smiths who made SCP-8700 to fashion a suit of armor for the mortally wounded Macarius Vschar, which was inlaid with the remains of SCP-8700's materials and thaumaturgic runes of great power. Macarius was sealed within the armor as his final resting place, and a thaumaturgic ritual was performed at the cost of Urdalṭaši's life which resulted in the creation of SCP-8700-A, who was sworn to guard the castle forever.</p>
<p>Numerous other documents and items of note were found and catalogued within the site, including various depictions of SCP-8700-1 from various dates between 540BC and 1610AD, an armory containing various well preserved 16th century weapons and armor<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup>, minor anomalous items, a mausoleum bearing multiple names, including that of the Urdalṭaši and a monument dedicated to the Fell Hand. Modernisation of the site has revealed anomalous building methods presumed to have been the work of medieval thaumaturgy and numerous wards preventing the site being consumed by Mt. Etna's emissions.</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8700-A</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Thaumiel</p>
<p><strong>Standard Containment Policies:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Two-person residential module (no amenity restrictions)</li>
<li>Access to site library, recreational facilities, cafeteria, and internal public areas (supervised)</li>
<li>Educational curriculum enrolment</li>
<li>Fortnightly psychological review</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong></p>
<p>SCP-8700-A is to be housed in a reinforced OCHRE-grade Thaumodisruptor<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup> equipped humanoid containment unit adjacent to SCP-8700's primary containment chamber. While SCP-8700-A does not require rest or biological functions, it is to be allowed to keep its own space as reward for good behaviour. This space is equipped with a crucifix, paint supplies and non-haptic e-reader.</p>
<p>With supervision, SCP-8700-A is permitted to perform inspections of SCP-8700 and Site-536 freely provided it does not interfere with Foundation activities, but may not exit the historic sections of the Site. Any suggestions made by the entity on the containment procedures of SCP-8700 are to be noted and taken under consideration. SCP-8700-A may not physically interact with Foundation staff unless in the interest of their safety during an Excalibur Event. It has been fitted with a remote activated OCHRE-grade Thaumodisruptor in the event of an escape attempt.</p>
<p>During Excalibur Events SCP-8700-A is permitted to access SCP-8700-A1 from the on-site armory for the purposes of defending SCP-8700, but is not permitted to use firearms.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p>SCP-8700-A is a self-ambulatory suit of mid 16th century plate armor measuring 2.3 metres tall and weighing 160kg, with an average plate thickness of 12mm. It is a dull steel colour and inscribed with numerous thaumaturgic runes inside and out, many of whose functions are not currently understood. Similarly to SCP-8700, it possesses a hardness of 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, and is extremely resistant to deformation. Despite being exposed to extreme temperatures in excess of 1900C it has never shown any sign of approaching it's melting point. It has been constructed in such a way as to not open or be removed from a wearer, and probe cameras have shown that the interior of SCP-8700-A possesses numerous rods and spikes bearing faint traces of ossified tissue encrusted into them that would make it impossible to be worn. The thaumaturgic runes and inscriptions seen on the interior of SCP-8700-A are of a more complex nature than those on the exterior, and are believed to be at least partially responsible for the anomaly's animation. These runes produce a faint red glow, and have been theorised to partially derive power from SCP-8700's effects.</p>
<p>SCP-8700-A possesses an extreme level of strength, endurance and speed. Testing has shown it to lift in excess of 3200kg overhead, and during Excalibur Events it has been witnessed dismembering SCP-8700-2 entities unarmed. It is not hindered by the presence of toxins, lack of oxygen or when submerged in water. While it does not possess vocal cords or a mouth, SCP-8700-A is capable of speech, which emerges from within its helm. It speaks in a deep, somewhat muffled voice with an accent of indeterminate origin. It is able to perceive its environment to the same degree as a baseline human despite the lack of sensory organs, possessing vision, hearing and a sense of touch, but has reported an inability to taste or smell. SCP-8700-A is extremely proficient in combat, particularly when armed with blunt or edged weapons.</p>
<p>Referring to itself as Macarius Vschar<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-9" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-9')">9</a></sup>, SCP-8700-A has an understanding of multiple languages, but appears to have a preference for Latin and Old English. It possesses knowledge of much of the history of 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th century Europe, and has expressed interest in learning more about the world. SCP-8700-A appears to be religious, and practices a form of renaissance-era Christianity.</p>
<p>Although willing to engage in conversation or aiding Foundation staff when requested, SCP-8700-A is primarily concerned with guarding SCP-8700 and ensuring it is not removed from the stone. While it will allow Foundation staff it is familiar with to examine and touch SCP-8700 under its supervision, the subject will attempt to bodily restrain all others from approaching the sword, reacting violently if repeated attempts are made. On the approach of an SCP-8700-2 instance, it will react with extreme violence, but has been noted to attempt to preserve the lives of Foundation personnel around it while doing so.</p>
<p>SCP-8700-A1 is a large, ornate European longsword constructed entirely of the same material as SCP-8700-A. It measures 1.95m in length, weighing 7.3kg, much heavier than comparably sized weaponry. While similarly durable, heat resistant and rust-proof as SCP-8700-A, SCP-8700-A1's only additional anomalous property is its resistance to dulling, always possessing a razor sharp edge.</p>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<h4 id="toc0"><span>History of SCP-8700-A</span></h4>
<hr/></div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>SCP-8700-A was discovered by Foundation precursors in the 19th century alongside SCP-8700, and was initially contained as a hostile entity within an on-site cage, presumably with considerable loss of life. The brief occupation by the Chaos Insurgency between 1948 and 1953 did not reverse this trend, though upon Foundation acquisition the entity appeared agitated and hostile. It is not known if SCP-8700-A's containment was permanent or if it was permitted to intervene in Excalibur Events as it is today.</p>
<p>Initially the Foundation sought to contain SCP-8700-A on-site, which was achieved with little difficulty. It was studied much like any other anomaly, taught modern languages and allowed to communicate with Foundation researchers. While non-hostile, the entity repeatedly expressed a desire to be freed and reiterated the threats posed by SCP-8700, 8700-1 and 8700-2. It was not until 1967 when an Excalibur Event threatened the security of SCP-8700 that SCP-8700-A breached containment. Initially there was confusion and panic as efforts to terminate the incoming SCP-8700-2 entity were split to re-contain SCP-8700-A, allowing the former entity to enter SCP-8700's primary containment chamber. Despite the efforts of the MTF, the 8700-2 instance was able to grasp SCP-8700 and attempt to pull it loose of the stone. It lifted SCP-8700 18mm<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-10" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-10')">10</a></sup> before being intercepted by SCP-8700-A, who rapidly ejected the entity from the chamber before bludgeoning it to death with a fire extinguisher. SCP-8700-A then returned to its containment cell peacefully.</p>
<p>When questioned about its behaviour, SCP-8700-A stated only the following.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> <em>"I guard the sword. I care not for all else. Do your duty and cease interfering with mine."</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Following this, tentative steps were taken to test the possibility of integrating SCP-8700-A into SCP-8700's Containment Procedures. These tests were consistently successful and low risk over a period of 14 years and the course of 3 Excalibur Events, acting to aid and protect MTF and other Foundation lives numerous times in the process. This eventuated into a provisional Thaumiel classification, which gradually evolved into SCP-8700-A's current containment procedures.</p>
</div>
<br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h4 id="toc1"><span>Behavioural Evaluation of SCP-8700-A</span></h4>
<hr/></div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>When questioned on the nature of its existence, SCP-8700-A reaffirms the details of numerous inscriptions in tablets and books within the site, claiming to be the "Soul" of the knight Macarius Vschar, transferred into a suit of armor in order to guard SCP-8700. It frequently cites the thaumaturgic runes inscribed into itself as evidence of this. Based on scans, research and study into these runes, it is the position of the Foundation that SCP-8700-A's consciousness is a psychic imprint of an individual used in the creation of the anomaly<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-11" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-11')">11</a></sup>. When presented with this theory, SCP-8700-A reacted with signs of distress and prayed within the site chapel for 13 hours before requesting that information not be relayed to it again.</p>
<p>SCP-8700-A devotes the majority of its time to tending toward SCP-8700, patrolling the historic portion of Site-536, prayer in the chapel, training drills, painting, and reading. While willing to engage in discussion with Foundation personnel, it is often described as terse or cold in its bearing and occasionally judgemental in nature. It appears fascinated by modern technology and music, but frequently dismisses media as nonsensical, inaccurate or blasphemous.</p>
<p>During Excalibur Events SCP-8700-A demostrates a large degree of competency and knowledge in regards to combat and tactics. It displays a single minded determination to neutralise SCP-8700-2 instances, often employing pragmatic but extremely violent means, particularly in the defence of Foundation personnel or SCP-8700. Despite this, SCP-8700-A has expressed a distaste for violence, and claims that it only does what is necessary.</p>
<p>SCP-8700-A has made frequent requests to be allowed to visit the grave site of a woman it claims is its sister, identified as "Eve", 1.3km from the entrance to Site-536. These requests have been denied.</p>

<h4 id="toc2"><span>SCP-8700-A Psychological Review: 1993</span></h4>
<hr/></div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Interviewed:</strong> SCP-8700-A</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. Andrzej Rodda</p>
<p><strong>Foreword:</strong> The following is a transcript of SCP-8700-A's 1993 psychological review meeting, whose purpose is to review the entity's behaviour, mindset and potential issues that have been discussed in standard sessions throughout the year. 1993 proved an eventful year at Site-536, with lessened staff turnover, an Excalibur Event, and the adoption of art therapy for SCP-8700-A. Interview is conducted within SCP-8700-A's containment cells.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong><Begin Log></strong></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Good evening 8700-A, I'm here for your psych review. Are you all set to get started?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes. Is it?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> I'm sorry? Is it what?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Evening.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Oh, yes, it is. You can see the time on the clock, there, remember?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> It has no face, I cannot trust it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Yes it's digital, only until a replacement for your old one arrives. You remember we showed you how to read it?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Right, so we'll start with how you're feeling then?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> As usual. Fulfilled.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Care to elaborate?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I guard the sword. Comply with regulations. But it is good to have brothers in arms once more. A marked improvement over my years in solitude.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> I see, so you feel a sense of camaraderie with the agents employed here then?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> The last Excalibur Event, do you have any thoughts on it?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes. The children of the dragon are growing stronger. I was aggrieved to have been unable to aid in its destruction.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> You keep calling them that. Why?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> It is what they are. Spawn of the dragon, to be slain like the beasts they are.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> I see. No other thoughts on the event then?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes. You must fortify the land to break the children before they penetrate the keep. Too many were wounded in its assault, and if the dragon is planning worse we may be taken unawares.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> I'll let the higher ups know you said that. Though it was an interesting one, it is a shame we couldn't keep it here for study.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A leans forwards, gesturing emphatically with its hands.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Do not do such a thing.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Calm down, 8700-A. I was joking.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A crosses its arms and leans back in its chair, looking away for a moment before nodding.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Good. Thank you. Now, how are you enjoying the art therapy? Dr. Simmons told me you have been spending more time painting lately.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> It is an enjoyable activity, if frivolous.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> May I see what you have painted recently?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A turns and retrieves a stack of slate tiles, each bearing a painted picture, and places them on the table.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> This is the 8700-2 instance from the seventies?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Rodda lifts the first painting and holds it towards the camera to display the image. It depicts a large, eight limbed reptilian entity within Site-536 with flames emerging from its mouth. Black humanoid figures surround it, firing upon it with firearms as a silver figure impales it.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Is there any reason you chose to paint this?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> It was a moment of triumph, when I found a new brotherhood with your Foundation. I learned you are of a stouter heart and bloodier disposition than I first gave you credit for.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> I see, very good. I like this one of the horse here.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Rodda lifts up one of the paintings, angling it towards the camera to display the image. It depicts a vaguely mammalian quadruped in a field of grass. SCP-8700-A crosses its arms again.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> That is a hound.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Oh. I see.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I have not seen one in many years, It is unfair to judge my efforts in such a way.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> It's alright! Better than what I can do, well what about this one, is this your sister?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Rodda lifts a third and final tile, angling it to the camera. It is a portrait of a young woman with black hair, dressed in early renaissance garb.</em></p>

<p>SCP-8700-A's charcoal drawing.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> You still miss her.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> It's been hundreds of years.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A begins to bounce its knee rapidly, looking around the cell. Its voice grows strained.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I live in the shadow of her murderer. It whispers to me of how it twisted her mind and made her forget herself. It mocks me with her dying words and how it let her remember who she was before she was smote upon the stones. I am tormented with memories of the pathetic being it reduced her to. I should have been present to defend her from such a curse, not fetching a sword from a lake.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Eve's death was not in your control, 8700-A. You have said yourself that even the Fell Hand couldn't have saved her. You being there too would have simply led to your death or falling under that thing's control as well, and then who would be here keeping the dragon from re-emerging? You work with us to ensure the same doesn't happen anyone else. In that way you honour her memory, remember?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A sits hunched, arms crossed and bouncing its knee for a long moment before nodding slowly.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I swore vengeance for her fate. Even after I aided in sending it into the fire I did not feel the peace I hoped for. Still it taunts me with her last words before it drove her mad. Its eyes. Its eyes, she cried. How I desire to thrust my blade into its heart for what it wrought.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> This kind of trauma takes time to resolve, 8700-A. If you continue to discuss these feelings and pursue the art therapy, it can help ease these feelings.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A nods.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I shall persist. Ever has this place allowed the dragon to fill men’s hearts with pain and avarice. I shall not falter like the others before me.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> I'm glad to hear that. You refer to the people who staffed this site before its abandonment? What happened to them, in your opinion?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> The dragon corrupted their hearts, and they fell to their vices because they did not know what their failure would unleash. They had not lived it as I had under the wyrm's reign.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> You believe that first-hand experience with 8700-1 would have helped these men to resist SCP-8700's effects?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Come on, no more one word answers. How would that have made a difference?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A sighs deeply, resting its head against its fist, before beginning to speak.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> The dragon fell upon the land like a plague. Many believed it was the apocalypse, but no trumpet was heard and no horsemen were seen. Only its unholy cries and disgusting spawn. It laid low city after city, consumed entire armies. The blood flowed in raging rivers. I saw the frail citizens fleeing the carnage swept away by the torrents. Those who opposed it were reduced to ash or eaten if they were fortunate. Those who were not were enthralled by its hideous eyes, reduced to ravening beasts crawling in the muck, naked like dogs. Thousands fled, but all the ships were burned. Wizards and flesh crafters raged against it to no avail. The remnants of the armies it had shattered were hiding or turned to banditry. With none left to oppose it, the dragon and its foul offspring ravaged the land and her people unchecked, killing at will. It had dominion over all the land, and it demanded tithes of blood, gold and fear. Men were reduced to living as beasts in caves, hiding, frightened of shadows and terrified of flame. Not since the days of the Olympians had such a terror blighted the land. The air was full of screams and laughter as people were hunted down like game, and one could not escape the reek of ash and blood and fear. Not with fifty thousand men could you oppose such terrible might. Without the Fell Hand this existence would have endured far longer than thirty winters, and his kind has long since vanished from the world. Those who fell never knew the terror of those dark days. They never knew the grief and the rage. They did not understand what lay at stake, for how could they had they not lived through it. Their hearts were full of hope and desire for the future rather than hate, and that is what laid them low.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Rodda frowns and examines SCP-8700-A across the desk.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> Are you implying that we have the same attitude towards SCP-8700? I assure you that we know full well what is at stake here. The Foundation has more experience in containing dangerous items such as these than anyone else on the planet. I don't need to remind you that you are permitted to defend SCP-8700 at our discretion.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A nods slowly.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I understand. I do not believe your people are like those men. While you did not suffer under the wyrm's fist, you have a pain behind your eyes of a similar ilk. You have tasted despair and grief and the weight of unknowable responsibility, if not at the hands of the dragon then from some other terror of whom I know not. We are united in this cause, and it is good to have brothers and sisters in arms once more.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> I'm glad, but you still seem tense.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Rather what I fear instead is that the dragon is planning something. He is more cunning than how he has acted. He has powerful children, but does not wield his strength to as deadly effect as he might. Something is coming. I can feel it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Rodda:</strong> What sort of something? Something you have encountered before?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I do not know. But he is plotting something. I am sure of it.</p>
<p><strong><End Log></strong></p>
<p><strong>Closing Statement:</strong> SCP-8700-A continues to adhere to all orders given to it, and performed well during the previous Excalibur Event. While it is experiencing elevated levels of grief in regards to its claimed sister "Eve", this is to be expected with its therapy and is expected to improve over time. Its paranoia regarding SCP-8700-1 is worth noting, but based on all research and SCP-8700-A's personality I do not believe it is a significant concern. I am overall pleased with the progress SCP-8700-A has made these last months, and recommend no changes to its current containment procedures.</p>
<p>Dr. Andrzej Rodda</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 4: 20/02/2024 Excalibur Event Incident.</strong></p>
<p>In early 2024 ground penetrating radar detected a significant increase in SCP-8700-1 activity within Mt. Etna's magma chamber consistent with those preceding an Excalibur Event. Armed mobile task force personnel were directed to deploy at Site-536 in preparation for the event and await orders. A temperature spike was recorded on the property of ██████ ██████████<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-12" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-12')">12</a></sup> 53km from Site-536. Mobile task force units were mobilised to intercept a potential SCP-8700-2 entity, awaiting its emergence for 17 hours before Mr. ██████████ underwent transformation into an SCP-8700-2 instance, causing his home to rapidly burn down on the 20/02/2024.</p>
<p>The entity was engaged by a company strength mobile task force waiting in ambush, but this proved unsuccessful. Despite the deployment of significant force the SCP-8700-2 entity continued a rapid approach towards Site-536, appearing entirely unharmed. After multiple airstrikes were delivered but showed no sign of slowing the entity, Site Director George Eddings ordered a second company to intercept the entity alongside SCP-8700-A. This decision was questioned by Site-536 staff, initially believing Director Eddings to be overly stressed and unwell, but they ultimately accepted the directive. Upon arrival at the SCP-8700-2 instance's location 17km from Site-536, SCP-8700-A engaged the creature. The engagement lasted 98 minutes, leaving 26 mobile task force members killed in action, but resulted in the successful termination of the SCP-8700-2 instance. Despite this, SCP-8700-1 continued its heightened level of activity.</p>
<p>MTF forces returned to Site-536 to debrief and treat injuries before being redeployed to their home bases, with un-deployed and unharmed MTF forces departing immediately. SCP-8700-A requested to visit its sister's grave following its return to site, which was approved by Site Director Eddings provided it was escorted by its supervisor and a contingent of four containment acquisition specialists, citing a lack of any threat following the Excalibur Event. This decision was widely criticised by staff, who believed that Director Eddings' decision making ability was compromised by a severe fever he had suffered the night prior. The events that followed the departure of SCP-8700-A were recorded from multiple body cameras and on-site security cameras, and took place over the following 113 minutes.</p>
<hr/>
<div class="balthdiv">
<br/>
Following the apparent conclusion of the Excalibur Event, a covert containment transport vehicle departed the site containing SCP-8700-A restrained in the rear containment compartment. SCP-8700-A was dressed in oversized civilian clothing to disguise its anomalous nature. Present in the vehicle was SCP-8700-A Supervisor Ignatius Fiore and Containment Acquisition Specialist agents CAS-1 Salvatore, CAS-1 Deccoco, CAS-1 Slade and CAS-1 Bean. They travel approximately 12 minutes to reach the location of the historic cemetery where SCP-8700-A's alleged sister is buried with orders to re-contain or terminate SCP-8700-A should it attempt to escape.
<hr/>
<p><em>Within Site-536, site Director Eddings can be seen within his office, observing the departure of SCP-8700-A via computer. He appears pleased, standing from his desk and clutching his chest as he staggers to a cabinet. He hurriedly removes his tie, jacket and shirt, revealing his torso and left arm are experiencing extreme ichthyosis, visibly spreading and thickening across his flesh. He takes a glass jar and scalpel from the cabinet and proceeds to cut a long incision across his chest, catching the blood in the jar and filling it. The blood is mildly luminescent, with a golden shimmer to it. He does not speak during this process.</em></p>
<p><em>He re-dresses, seals the jar, places it in his briefcase and appears to practise genial expressions in his mirror before moving from his quarters to the mess hall. The hall is at maximum capacity, with MTF agents and site staff celebrating the successful Excalibur Event and preparing for a meal. The atmosphere is jovial and full of sound. Director Eddings proceeds to work his way through the crowd, shaking hands with various personnel before entering the kitchen unnoticed. The kitchens are empty save for Director Eddings, who produces the jar from his briefcase and pours its contents into one of three drinks dispensers by the door. He then exits the kitchens and re-enters the mess hall, standing against the North wall and gesturing for Mess Officer George Sapkowski to approach him.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mess Officer Sapkowski:</strong> Hell of a day here George, what can I do for you?</p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Oh yes, hell of a day! With this crowd it won't only be our dragon slayers hard at work. What are you cooking up for us tonight George?</p>
<p><strong>Mess Officer Sapkowski:</strong> Well I thought since were celebrating I'd swap dinner for lunch, give these guys a good send off you know? So we'll have the gazpacho and chicken salad tonight, and the seafood platters now. It’s all ready to come out whenever you give the word.</p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Excellent, excellent idea! I'll tell you what though, before we start sending out food I'd love to say a few words, give a proper thank you to our brave guests. Can I get you to bring out the drinks cart, get everyone a glass so I can say a toast?</p>
<p><strong>Mess Officer Sapkowski:</strong> You got it, no problem. <em>Mess officer Sapkowski turns and addresses the kitchen staff.</em> Alright, alright, break it up guys, go get the drinks cart out, these folks are thirsty!</p>
<p><em>The kitchen staff begins pouring and distributing drinks.</em></p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Like a well oiled machine they are, George.</p>
<p><strong>Mess Officer Sapkowski:</strong> Thanks, George, just one of the perks of hiring a culinary superstar such as myself.</p>
<p><em>Both laugh. Director Eddings retrieves two glasses from the contaminated dispenser, handing one to mess officer Sapkowski.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mess Officer Sapkowski:</strong> Thanks very much!</p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Well, us Georges need to stick together, don't we?</p>
<p><em>Both laugh. Director Eddings moves to the front of the room, standing on a chair to be better seen. He smiles and waves to the crowd before clinking his phone against his glass and addressing them.</em></p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Good morning everyone! May I have your attention please? Alright, settle down, yes. Nolan get out of the kitchen, we're eating in a minute. Alright! I know you are all having a wonderful time celebrating the completion of another Excalibur Event, and I could not be more pleased with all of you!</p>
<p><em>Cheering from the crowd.</em></p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> That was quite some monster! But you boys are made of tough stuff, and handled it like the Foundation's finest! However, I must dampen spirits for a moment. I want to commemorate the brave men and women who lost their lives this morning, keeping the world safe. They died in the dark so that the civilians of the world can live in the light. It's a heavy price to pay, I know. But I would gladly pay that price myself to protect those I love, and so would all of you.</p>
<p><em>More cheering from the crowd, less enthusiastic.</em></p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> So I say thank you, and a moment's silence for the brave souls lost today. They will be immortalised in our memories.</p>
<p><em>Director Eddings lowers his head and clasps his hands together in silence, followed by all in attendance doing the same. There is silence for 12 seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Lest we forget.</p>
<p><em>This is repeated by those gathered.</em></p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Now, since you have all been working so hard these last few months, I thought it only fair that you be rewarded with something to drink at least, no?</p>
<p><em>Enthusiastic cheering.</em></p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> <em><Laughs.></em> I thought so! So let us raise our glasses to the fallen, may they rest in peace, and may we at Site-536 look forward to a brighter, better future! Cheers!</p>
<p><em>The crowd cheers and all present drink, including Director Eddings. The Director steps off his chair.</em></p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Now come on all of you! Enjoy today, and this afternoon we'll get back to work. Enjoy yourselves please!</p>
<p><em>The crowd begins to talk amongst themselves. Director Eddings heads for the door, but is approached by Mess Officer Sapkowski.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mess Officer Sapkowski:</strong> Nice speech, George, not a bit hot under the collar there are you though? You're sweating something awful. Are you alright?</p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Fine, fine, just need to get back to work now is all.</p>
<p><strong>Mess Officer Sapkowski:</strong> Yeah, but come on, you alright? Do you need any—</p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Shut the fuck up and get back in the kitchen. Now.</p>
<p><em>Director Eddings hastily leaves the room. Mess Officer Sapkowski appears shocked, but returns to the kitchen.</em></p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings:</strong> Pathetic worms.</p>
<p><em>Director Eddings proceeds from the mess hall towards systems engineering, removing and discarding his tie as he goes. Ichthyosis can be seen spreading up his neck, with smoke emerging from areas of exposed flesh. He approaches the Site-536 AIC central monitoring hub, ignoring the technicians as they stand to address him.</em></p>
<p><strong>AIC Technician Venturi:</strong> Director? Is there something wrong? Wait, Director, you can't go in there, Director!</p>
<p><em>Director Eddings pauses at the door to the AIC console chamber before grabbing a desk chair and flinging it at AIC Technician Venturi. The chair connects with her head, neck and chest, knocking her down. Blood can be seen pooling around her head on the floor. AIC Technician Riccardio stands and attempts to draw his firearm, but is attacked by Director Eddings, who disarms him before impaling him through the chest cavity with his arm. Claws have formed on his fingers, and smoke is now billowing from his skin and clothing. He then turns to the door and wrenches it open with a great deal of strain. Klaxons sound site wide as the AIC deploys defensive weaponry.</em></p>
<p><strong>Site-536 AIC:</strong> CEASE HOSTILITIES. YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS TO COMPLY.</p>
<p><strong>Director Eddings</strong> Be silent, simulacrum.</p>
<p><em>Director Eddings enters the AIC console chamber and begins inputting shutdown commands. His flesh can be seen writhing and his clothes tearing as he physically expands. His clothing combusts as he types.</em></p>
<p><em>The MTF and site-536 personnel gathered in the mess hall have ceased celebrations. Many have produced their weapons, and are reacting in confusion. Non-combatant personnel are directed towards their nearest emergency shelters.</em></p>
<p><strong>Site-536 AIC:</strong> SHUTDOWN ATTEMPTED. EXCALIBUR EVENT IN PROGRESS. ADDITIONAL EXCALIBUR EVENT IN PROGRESS. SCP-8700-2 ENTITY WITHIN AIC CONSOLE CHAMBER. TERMINATING SCP-8700-2 ENTITY.</p>
<p><em>Automatic weaponry and water cannons are deployed site-wide, with those present within the AIC console chamber opening fire upon Director Eddings. The Director falls to the ground in the fetal position, emitting growling vocalisations before combusting violently, destroying the AIC control console and damaging the AIC's central processor. All automated defence systems freeze in place and lose power, ceasing operation site-wide.</em></p>
<p><em>Director Eddings undergoes a rapid mutation into an SCP-8700-2 instance. His skull expands, sprouting numerous horns and his mouth elongating into a crocodilian muzzle bristling with teeth. The new structures appear to emerge from beneath Director Eddings' skin, which tears open and sloughs off in places as the process continues. A long tail erupts from his rear, with his hips splitting apart and taking a new position as his legs increase in muscle mass. Rows of spikes and a thick carapace emerge from the instance's body as it rapidly increases in size and mass, and its vocalisations change from those of Director Eddings into bestial growls. The instance thrashes about violently as it transforms, causing significant damage to the structure around it.</em></p>
<p><em>Simultaneously in the mess hall, all personnel that consumed drinks from the dispenser contaminated by Director Eddings, approximately 43% of those present, are rapidly undergoing a similar process. As they clutch their heads and torsos, screaming, those unaffected are seen to both flee to other areas of the site or remain to aid the afflicted, with a large portion of the remaining MTF members led by Cmdr. Reul Bratt hastily falling back to the tertiary defence zone outside SCP-8700's containment chamber. The personnel affected by the contaminated drinks then undergo rapid mutation into secondary SCP-8700-2 entities, increasing in size by approximately 10%, bursting into flame and growing thick scales which can be seen to emerge from underneath their skin. Clouds of gas can be seen emerging from the ventilation system.</em></p>
<p><em>The unaffected personnel still within the mess hall are severely impacted by the transformation of the afflicted, with numerous traumatic amputations being recorded and others catching fire. Those unharmed begin to flee, but are set upon by the secondary SCP-8700-2 instances. Many can be heard attempting to reason with the transformed individuals, only to be cut off by bodily assault. The few that fire upon transformed individuals are quickly dismembered. Laughter can be heard from the instances, who continue to mutate, sprouting horns, claws and tails at random.</em></p>
<p><em>A loud roar is heard echoing through the site, drawing the attention of the secondary SCP-8700-2 instances, which turn to see the primary SCP-8700-2<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-13" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-13')">13</a></sup> instance enter the mess hall, ducking to fit through the doorway.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> Arm yourselves, my children. It is time.</p>
<p><em>Under the command of Cmdr. Bratt the MTF forces deploy fortifications outside SCP-8700's containment chamber, including heavy weaponry and water cannons. The doors to the containment chamber are sealed with a 4 man squad inside to operate the doors, welding them shut.</em></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-2 Alpha leads the secondary instances to the site armory, ripping a red panel from the wall of the restricted section labelled Project Ichneumon. It opens the cabinet and begins distributing the advanced weapons among the secondary instances.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> You four, leave this place. Hunt down the wretch and break him. Bring me his head.</p>
<p><em>Four secondary SCP-8700-2 instances turn and head for the site cargo depot, leaving a trail of molten lava behind them.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> You defend our rear. <em>SCP-8700-2 Alpha gestures to multiple secondary instances, pointing back towards the mess hall.</em> The rest of you, my children, shall come with me.</p>

<hr/>
<p>Leaving the covert transport vehicle parked outside the historic cemetery, Supervisor Ignatius Fiore escorts SCP-8700-A inside. SCP-8700-A is fitted with a tracking beacon and a remote activated OCHRE-grade Thaumodisruptor beneath its civilian disguise. CAS-1 Salvatore, CAS-1 Deccoco, CAS-1 Slade and CAS-1 Bean accompany them to provide additional security.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A approaches a corner of the cemetery by a low stone wall on the cliff top overlooking the sea. It falls to its knees, gently brushing the weeds and dirt from a small headstone. Faint Latin engraving on its surface reads "Eve [Indecipherable] 1563, Beloved and fair."</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> This is her.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore approaches SCP-8700-A, placing his hand on its shoulder, holding his umbrella to shield them from the rain. The CAS-1 team observes at a short distance.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I'm sorry it took so long. I'll give you a moment with her.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Oh, Eve, I am so sorry.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore moves to stand with the CAS-1 team. SCP-8700-A remains kneeling and begins to clean the headstone.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Hey, Ig. Smoke?</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> No man, you know I quit. You have to smoke that shit around me?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Bean:</strong> I mean, kind of since you dragged us out here in all this rain.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Just going to have to deal with it, bucko.</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Deccoco laughs and blows a smoke ring at Supervisor Fiore. It is dispersed by the rain.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Whatever. It's fine. Sure you're not being too casual about all this?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Don't think you're forgetting who we are, Ig? We bring down shit ten times worse than the tin can on the daily. It takes one step over that wall and we'll have it locked so deep in containment it will forget that daylight even exists.</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Deccoco laughs.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Bean:</strong> What she means is that we have it under control.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Besides, he doesn't look like he's going anywhere.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I suppose. It’s just been a stressful day. I hate going into the field, especially when there's a giant fat frog squirting lava all over the place. Keep me in the office any day.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1: Bean:</strong> It can be a lot for people who aren't used to it.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Bitches, you mean.</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Salvatore stifles a laugh.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Bean:</strong> Hey, that's out of order.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> What the fuck, man?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> You know I was only teasing, relax, Ig.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> It's fine. I better see how our friend's going.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Freezing out here.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore approaches SCP-8700-A. It has cleaned the headstone and graveside, and appears to be praying. It looks at Supervisor Fiore as he approaches and begins to write.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> You must not allow him to speak to you in such a way.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Don't worry about it. How are you holding up?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> It pains my heart that she has been alone so long. She—</p>
<p><em>Suddenly there is an extremely loud explosion behind them as a plume of lava and smoke can be seen erupting from the peak of Mt. Etna. The ground shakes, and emergency sirens can be heard sounding from neighbouring towns. The CAS-1 team exclaim and swear, turning back to face the mountain.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Oh fuck! Shit! That can't be natural, not this close after an event, fuck!</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore withdraws his radio and SCP-8700-A rises to its feet.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> It cannot be.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Site-536 do you copy? What is the situation?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Not fucking good, we need to go!</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Slade grabs Supervisor Fiore and SCP-8700-A by their shirt collars and hurries them towards the covert containment vehicle. Bean enters the driver’s seat and starts the vehicle, while Deccoco takes the passenger seat. Salvatore is in the back, waving for Supervisor Fiore and SCP-8700-A to hurry over. SCP-8700-A hurries into the mobile containment cell while Supervisor Fiore fastens it within its restraints. CAS-1 Slade takes his position and shuts the door.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Go go go!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Bean:</strong> Everybody hold on to something!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> This is the work of the dragon. It must be.</p>
<p><em>The vehicle skids its tires in the gravel before accelerating up the road towards Site-536. Supervisor Fiore continues attempting to establish communication with the site.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I say again, this is 8700-A supervisory team, calling Site-536, Site-536 respond, over!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Is it another event?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> We have to assume it is. Keep trying them, Ig. Weapons ready CAS team!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> The tin can secure? Put your damn seatbelt on, Sean.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Bean:</strong> Little busy at the moment!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> 8700-A is secure, just keep those eyes open for hostiles!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Yes ma'am.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Site-536 I repeat, this is 8700-A supervisory team, do you hear me?</p>
<p><em>The radio emits static and sounds of gunfire and roaring can be heard.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cmdr. Bratt:</strong> <em><static></em> Back here NOW! <em><static></em> Under attack by <em><static></em> —ces, taken position <em><static></em> Tertiary defence zone. Distress signal cannot be <em><static></em> Need suppor—</p>
<p><em>A loud roaring sound is heard over the radio, followed by an explosion. Gunfire and yelling voices can be heard for a few seconds before the signal is lost completely.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Oh Jesus, oh fuck what's happening up there?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Release me, I will aid in the defence of the sword.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Get your shit together, Ig, we're under attack and they need our help. Step on it Sean!</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Bean drives the supervisory team toward Site-536's transit bay at speed.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Put these on, kid, and get ready to use your sidearm if you need to!</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Slade passes Supervisor Fiore a ballistic vest and helmet, who clumsily dons the equipment.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Right, thanks</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Stay low, move fast, do as you're told and use 8700-A as cover. We'll keep you safe, don't you worry.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Yeah, you got the big dogs looking out for you now, Fiore. You're probably the safest you ever been.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Amen Dom. Everyone be ready to move fast. Release 8700-A's shackles now Ig. We might not have time later.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Okay.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Bean:</strong> What is that?</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore reaches for the remote containment device as the vehicle rounds a corner to make the final approach to Site-536's transit bay. The site entrance is within view through the rain with the doors open wide. Halfway between the vehicle and the transit bay are four large humanoid entities with glowing yellow eyes, dripping molten lava from the gaps in their torn clothing. They are armed and moving downhill towards the supervisory team. The largest entity is holding a forklift over its head.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> What's happening?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Bean:</strong> Are those Foundation uniforms?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Is that a fucking forklift!?</p>
<p><em>The armed entities open fire upon the vehicle. CAS-1 Deccoco opens fire through his open window. Multiple bullets strike the closest entity, staggering it and leaving large puncture wounds that spill more molten lava onto the ground. The humanoid holding the forklift throws the vehicle at the Supervisory team.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Sean, watch out!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Bean:</strong> Hold on!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Shit.</p>
<p><em>The forklift impacts the transport with great force, causing the airbags to deploy and the containment release to be flung from Supervisor Fiore's hands. All present can be heard crying out amongst tremendous noise as the vehicle slams into one of the anomalous humanoids, pinning it between the vehicle and the ground as the wreck comes to a stop. One of the forklift's tynes has pierced the windshield of the transport and impaled CAS-1 Bean through the chest. He turns to look at the passengers before gasping and slumping in his seat.</em></p>
<p><em>Gunfire can be heard impacting the vehicle from outside, and a fire breaks out from the pinned entity's body before entering through CAS-1 Deccoco's open window. Sizzling bolts of Ichneumon class lancer fire exacerbate this as they slam into the vehicle's armor plating.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Sean! No!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Multiple 8700-2 instances! Multiple instances! Elena hurry up, get them out of here!</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Deccoco continues to fire at the hostiles through his window. Supervisor Fiore is cradling his head and hunched in the back seat. CAS-1 Salvatore shakes him by the shoulders as CAS-1 Slade rips his helmet off, dropping it onto the floor of the vehicle in two broken fragments.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Get up Ig, get up! We're taking cover behind the car, and we're getting inside, move out Roy's door, now! Go!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Get to safety, I shall extract myself. Send these foul beasts to their doom.</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Slade slides his door open and exits the vehicle, laying down suppressive fire as he does so. CAS-1 Deccoco also lays down suppressing fire through his window as Supervisor Fiore and CAS-1 Salvatore follow CAS-1 Slade out of the vehicle. CAS-1 Deccoco follows shortly after as the vehicle is engulfed in flames.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> What about 8700-A?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Don't worry about that now. It said it's fine. Get your gun out and get down!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Focus on that tall piece of shit at 3 o'clock, it’s got a lancer!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> On it, Salvatore cover us!</p>
<p><em>The CAS-1 team lays down a line of fire, using the burning vehicle as cover. Supervisor Fiore huddles at their feet with his pistol drawn. The SCP-8700-2 entity wielding the Ichneumon class lancer attempts to fire on CAS-1 Deccoco, but is hit multiple times by CAS-1 Salvatore's suppressing fire. CAS-1 Deccoco simultaneously concentrates fire on the entity, causing it to stagger to its knees and molten lava to burst out of its chest cavity before violently combusting. The closest SCP-8700-2 entity is thrown to the ground by the explosion, its left arm being traumatically amputated in the process. The third entity roars and emits a blast of flame at the supervisory team, further engulfing the wrecked vehicle and pinned SCP-8700-2 instance.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Get back, it can't hold much longer!</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Oh fuck, shit, Oh fuck!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Move, Ig!</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Salvatore grabs Supervisor Fiore by the collar and rapidly moves away from the burning wreck as CAS-1 Deccoco and CAS-1 Slade lay down suppressing fire, hitting the SCP-8700-2 instance numerous times. The forklift's rear quarters then explode violently, causing the pinned SCP-8700-2 instance to also detonate, shifting the wreckage and exposing the supervisory team to incoming fire. CAS-1 Slade is hit in the left arm and chest by a blast of fire emitted from the entity's mouth, but is able to dive into cover quickly. Thumping noises can be heard emanating from within the transport vehicle.</em></p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Deccoco and CAS-1 Salvatore both fire upon the standing SCP-8700-2 instance, perforating it with numerous bullets and causing it to detonate as it collapses to the ground while Supervisor Fiore rapidly smothers the flames on CAS-1 Slade's clothing with his jacket.</em></p>
<p><em>Before they can react, the downed SCP-8700-2 instance opens fire on the supervisory team. While they are not hit, they are forced into cover within a ditch on the side of the road. The SCP-8700-2 instance approaches the team, molten lava pouring from its wounds, but pauses and looks towards the flaming wreckage as SCP-8700-A partially emerges through its rear panel. The SCP-8700-2 instance roars and redirects its fire at SCP-8700-A.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Over here! We're here!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Shut the fuck up and move!</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Deccoco and CAS-1 Slade grab Supervisor Fiore under his arms and haul him back into cover behind the burning vehicle, while CAS-1 Salvatore lays down suppressing fire. The SCP-8700-2 entity roars once again and attempt to return fire. SCP-8700-A manages to pull itself free of the wreckage before turning and thrusting its arms back into the burning vehicle and retrieving a sheared off axle. Ignoring the incoming fire from the SCP-8700-2 instance, SCP-8700-A throws the broken axle at the entity, impaling it through the neck and chest, causing it to combust.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Disgusting wretch.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Fucking hell.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Sean…</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> What the fuck is this, why are there multiple 8700-2's out here? What the fuck is going on?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> We'll figure it out later, right now we need to get Guts here between these fucking things and 8700.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> How? Those things just killed Sean! Even if we make it there's no way we get there in time!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Shut the fuck up.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A approaches the supervisory team, ripping the flaming debris and clothing from itself. It places a hand on Supervisor Fiore's shoulder before pounding its chest with its free hand.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Take heart, Ignatius. This is a time where you must be brave. I am with you.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> I don't like the fucking thing but the tin can's right, Fiore. We got no choice.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Let's go, you can do this, Ig. Do it so Sean didn't die for nothing.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Alright. I'm in. I'll get him there.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> <em><Handing the Ichneumon class lancer to Supervisor Fiore></em> Take this and stay close to me alright kid? You're going to make it through this in one piece so long as there ain't no more forklifts for them to toss at us.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A points at the transit bay, making a rolling hand gesture to the supervisory squad.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> We cannot delay.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Agreed, hurry up and get moving! 8700-A take point and cover us!</p>
<p><em>The surviving supervisory team members move rapidly uphill towards the transit bay, taking cover behind SCP-8700-A as they go, leaving the burning wreckage behind them.</em></p>

At the Tertiary Defence Zone Cmdr. Bratt has completed fortifying the area and has MTF agents flooding the kill zone with water cannons in anticipation of an assault by Director Eddings and the secondary SCP-8700-2 instances. A total of 28 MTF and Site-536 personnel man the defences, with many of them wounded from the prior Excalibur Event.
<hr/>
<p><em>SCP-8700-2 Alpha enters the kill zone, holding a large slab of defensive plating ripped from a wall as a shield for itself. Steam billows from its body as it makes contact with the water, obscuring its form other than its luminescent gold eyes. It has mutated further, now displaying a pair of rudimentary wings and measuring approximately 4 metres tall. Dozens of secondary SCP-8700-2 instances rush into the kill zone ahead of it, opening fire with both conventional and Ichneumon class weaponry. A fire-fight erupts, with both sides sustaining early losses.</em></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-2 Alpha provides support to the secondary instances by firing streams of molten lava at the defensive positions and taunting the defenders verbally. Despite this, the defences remain strong and the MTF units are able to terminate multiple secondary instances in rapid succession.</em></p>
<p><em>Elsewhere in the site, secondary SCP-8700-2 instances standing guard can be seen engaging in acts of cannibalism. Others are seen hunting down surviving site staff as they flee to emergency shelters or hoarding valuable items on their person. Site security guard Max Kazimir is seen to neutralise a SCP-8700-2 instance in defence of a group of 36 site staff members, but is captured and subjected to torture by two other instances before being killed. The instances then proceed to attempt to gain entry into Emergency Shelter 19-B in pursuit of the staff, but are unsuccessful.</em></p>

<p>The supervisory team enters Site-536's transit bay with SCP-8700-A. Klaxons are blaring, bathing the area in orange light. A trail of solidified lava leads further into the site through an open door past the parked Foundation transport vehicles. CAS-1 Deccoco leads, using SCP-8700-A as mobile cover, and is followed by CAS-1 Salvatore, Supervisor Fiore and CAS-1 Slade bringing up the rear. Supervisor Fiore grabs a broom from a shelf as they pass and CAS-1 Salvatore closes the exterior doors.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> What's that for?</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> So I can keep them at a distance.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> You got strange priorities, Ig.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> You would be better served by your firearm.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Quiet! Entering the corridor now.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Taking point. Stay in front of me, tin man.</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Deccoco enters the corridor through the open door, using SCP-8700-A as cover, followed by the rest of the team. The corridor is empty save for a number of snakes on the ground.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Ignore them, Dom. Don't give our presence away.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> If 8700-A clanking about hasn't already.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> He's not that loud.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> So it's "he" now? Not very professional, Ig.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I am a man.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Suck my an—</p>
<p><em>Deep pitched laughter is heard from around the corner along with banging and scratching sounds. CAS-1 Deccoco uses his phone camera to peer around the corner, sighting a group of three SCP-8700-2 secondary instances attempting to burrow through an emergency shelter door further down the corridor. They are more mutated than previous instances, all standing above 2 metres in height with numerous mutations present on their bodies.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Contact, three hostiles, I can't see friendlies but it’s hard to tell.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> We'll have to blitz ‘em.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> I'd rather not risk friendlies. Still, don't see much other choice.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Wait, 8700-A could get them out of the way couldn't it? Then you could see if there's people.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Nice thinking, kid.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Can you do that, 8700-A?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A nods, gesturing impatiently for Supervisor Fiore to pass it the broom. He does.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Should it not endanger our brethren, I might hold them still enough for you to use your holy hand grenade to smite our foes.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> It's just called a hand grenade 8700-A… God, I wanted to be in a position to laugh when that came up.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Alright, do it. Deccoco, you're first through, then me and Ig, Slade, you cover the rear. Go!</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A charges around the corner with a loud yell, sprinting down the hallway and violently tackling two of the SCP-8700-2 instances to the ground. CAS-1 Deccoco follows and lays down a line of fire directed at the third entity, which is standing over a wounded Dr. Jennifer Ward, who is attempting to reach the emergency shelter. One SCP-8700-2 instance frees itself from SCP-8700-A's grasp and attempts to attack CAS-1 Deccoco but is intercepted by more fire from CAS-1 Salvatore and Supervisor Fiore.</em></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A continuously pummels the downed SCP-8700-2 instance with its fists before grabbing the broom from the ground and bludgeoning the instance to death with it, shielding the Supervisory team and Dr. Ward from the resultant detonation with its body before moving to engage the remaining entities. CAS-1 Deccoco smashes the closest SCP-8700-2 instance in its face with the butt of his weapon before firing a long burst into the back of its neck, causing a shower of blood and molten lava to spray into the air and onto his face.</em></p>
<p><em>The supervisory team retreats around the corner into the transit bay to avoid the detonation. In the transit bay a fourth SCP-8700-2 entity has emerged from a utility bay and is approaching the team from behind.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Roy, behind you!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Slade:</strong> Wha—</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> ROY NO!</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Slade is impaled from behind by the SCP-8700-2 instance, its hand emerging from the centre of his chest in a shower of blood. The entity begins biting at CAS-1 Slade's neck and consuming his flesh. CAS-1 Slade attempts to vocalise but can only gurgle and choke, drawing his combat knife and stabbing the entity twice before succumbing to his injuries as he combusts from his proximity to the SCP-8700-2 instance. CAS-1 Salvatore, CAS-1 Deccoco and Supervisor Fiore all open fire on the entity, rapidly neutralising it as the third instance rounds the corner only to be restrained by SCP-8700-A.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Kill the fucking thing, Ig.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Roy you poor man.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A holds the SCP-8700-2 instance still as Supervisor Fiore opens fire on it. SCP-8700-A redirects it against the wall to limit the damage of its combustion, before moving to escort Dr. Ward to the emergency shelter.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A</strong> We must make haste.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Shut the fuck up you tin can piece of shit! <em><CAS-1 Deccoco wipes blood from his mouth and spits on the ground. His skin is red and flushed.></em> We just lost friends because of you! Because of fucking Eddings breaking the god damn rules and letting you out on a fucking day trip!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Dominic, come on.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> No you shut the fuck up too! I'm sick of this shit!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Don't talk to me like that, this isn't like you.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> I said SHUT UP! <em><CAS-1 Deccoco's eyes have become bloodshot, with his irises turning yellow.></em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Hey man, come on, we just need to—</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Deccoco:</strong> Do what bitch!? You're too chickenshit to do anything but sit behind a desk and now you wanna be big man? <em><CAS-1 Deccoco aims his weapon at Supervisor Fiore.></em> You get yourself a magic fucking gun and now you're the boss? Fuck you.</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Salvatore rapidly disarms CAS-1 Deccoco and throws him to the ground, pinning him there.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Dominic, that is enough!</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Deccoco grabs CAS-1 Salvatore by the wrists and strains against her, overpowering and flipping her. He straddles CAS-1 Salvatore and begins shaking her violently, slamming her head into the ground repeatedly. Smoke emerges from his mouth and beneath his clothing as ichthyosis rapidly forms across his face.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Please no, not you Dom…</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Deccoco screams incoherently and snaps CAS-1 Salvatore's wrist, causing an open fracture. CAS-1 Salvatore screams in pain, and Supervisor Fiore fires on CAS-1 Deccoco, striking his flank with the Ichneumon class lancer. CAS-1 Deccoco roars and begins to stand, raising his weapon towards Supervisor Fiore before being shot numerous times in the torso by CAS-1 Salvatore. Molten lava pours from his wounds onto CAS-1 Salvatore's leg, burning her severely as she rolls away. Supervisor Fiore helps her to her feet as they sprint for the corridor. CAS-1 Deccoco's body detonates as SCP-8700-A enters the room. The emergency shelter can be seen opening behind it.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> What happened?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> That wasn't him.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I know.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> It wasn't him. It wasn't him.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore and SCP-8700-A escort CAS-1 Salvatore to the emergency shelter. There are 27 Foundation staff visible, and a field hospital has been erected within the shelter. Dr. Ward is being treated for her wounds within the hospital section. No combat trained staff can be seen within the shelter. The survivors within can be heard discussing what has happened as they pass.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Greddock:</strong> Put her down here! Quickly!</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A lifts CAS-1 Salvatore up and places her into a triage bed. Supervisor Fiore follows.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Will she be okay?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Greddock:</strong> She'll have to be, just get that monstrosity out of my hospital.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> We must make haste.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I don't understand. What's going on?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Greddock:</strong> I don't know, some kind of infection, Bratt's taken the MTFs to the tertiary defence zone and put out a distress call to all nearby sites, but no idea when help will get here. There's a lot more of those fucking things out there.</p>
<p><strong>Junior Researcher Darling:</strong> Dr. Cassandra said that 8700-1 wasn't stopping after the event. She thought it was still underway, and now look what happened! The AIC's destroyed and we're fucked!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Greddock:</strong> Shut up and settle down, that's not helping.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Go, Ig. Get 8700-A to the sword. Don't let this get worse.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> But—</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> NOW! Someone has to get him to that sword before Bratt's overrun, and you're the only one able to move that has clearance!</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore hesitates before sighing heavily and nodding. SCP-8700-A is standing by the door making impatient gestures.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I will, Elena. This won't have been for nothing.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Keep him safe, 8700-A. Now take these and get going, hurry! I'll keep in contact with you, just go!</p>
<p><em>CAS-1 Salvatore passes supervisor Fiore her grenade belt and radio before shoving him towards the exit. SCP-8700-A grabs his arm and pulls him out into the hallway as the door slides shut behind them. They hurry through the corridor, dodging snakes and lizards crawling through the site as they go. Distant gunfire can be heard further within the site, and clouds of gas waft through the air.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Jesus Christ, this can't be happening, what the fuck…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Blasphemy is a sin.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I'll fucking worry about that later alright? I just had to shoot my friend!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> It was no longer your friend. Take heart.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I'm so sorry Elena, I know—</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> [Via radio] Shut the fuck up Ig. I'm not talking about that. Just get to the damn sword.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Sorry.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore and SCP-8700-A round a bend as they approach the mess hall. There are dead bodies, rubble and small fires strewn about the hall, along with seven SCP-8700-2 instances guarding the hallway, with one of them feeding on the corpse of Containment Supervisor Ferruccio Cipollone. They turn to look at Supervisor Fiore and SCP-8700-A for a moment, brandishing weapons and roaring. SCP-8700-A hurriedly retrieves a fire axe from a wall cabinet as it advances on the entities.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Get behind me.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Oh FUCK.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> What is it?</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> There's seven of the fucking things between us and the mess hall.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Throw a grenade then hang back and let 8700-A handle them. Cover it when you have clear shots and keep your head down.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A and the SCP-8700-2 instances charge towards one another, brandishing their weapons. The SCP-8700-2 instances roar and laugh as they approach, jostling for position in the narrow corridor and firing their weapons. Bullets ricochet from SCP-8700-A as it charges. Supervisor Fiore tosses a hand grenade over SCP-8700-A's head, past the crowd of SCP-8700-2 instances before ducking down and rapidly moving backwards, hyperventilating. SCP-8700-A shoves the lead instance back with the haft of the fire axe as the grenade explodes, followed by a howl and a second detonation as an SCP-8700-2 entity in the rear is terminated.</em></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A knocks an Ichneumon class lancer from the hands of an SCP-8700-2 instance before terminating a second with three blows from its axe, lodging it in the entity's head and kicking its body back towards the others where it detonates. The disarmed instance tackles SCP-8700-A into the wall, damaging it, as another SCP-8700-2 instance runs towards Supervisor Fiore. SCP-8700-A kicks out at the entity's knee, causing it to collapse to the ground as another instance fires on SCP-8700-A with an Ichneumon class lancer. SCP-8700-A reels back and lets out a pained grunt, going limp for a moment before attempting to fight back, drawing a combat knife from a sheath on the chest rig of one of the SCP-8700-2 instances and repeatedly stabbing the entity, pinning it against the wall in the face.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Not you too…</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore opens fire upon the SCP-8700-2 entities with his Ichneumon class lancer, causing them to stagger back from SCP-8700-A. The entities roar and scream, but press on with their attack. Though staggered, SCP-8700-A capitalises on the opportunity, kneeing one instance in the jaw before retrieving the mostly melted combat knife and embedding it into another instance's throat, flinging a third instance towards Supervisor Fiore as it attempts to reload its weapon. The entity raises itself from the ground before breathing a jet of flame at SCP-8700-A. Supervisor Fiore retreats further and fires upon it numerous times, causing it to detonate. SCP-8700-A is able to use the distraction to crush another instance's head against the wall with its fist, causing another detonation.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Courage, Ignatius, We have them.</p>
<p><em>The three remaining SCP-8700-2 instances rush towards SCP-8700-A, firing streams of molten lava from their mouths and eyes. Supervisor Fiore continues to fire the Ichneumon class lancer at the entities, disarming one of them. SCP-8700-A is tackled and slammed into the floor, cracking the cement. The instance straddles SCP-8700-A and rains punches upon it, with deflected blows sinking wrist deep into the concrete floor. A second instance is kicked back into the mess hall as the third rushes Supervisor Fiore, only be driven back by lancer fire. SCP-8700-A grabs the SCP-8700-2 entity on top of it and gouges at its eyes, driving it back, before grabbing a discarded assault rifle and bludgeoning the entity to death. Its detonation knocks SCP-8700-A and the SCP-8700-2 instance to the ground, while Supervisor Fiore fires upon the entity approaching from the mess hall. SCP-8700-A pounces upon the downed SCP-8700-2 instance and repeatedly bludgeons it with its fists, pausing to retrieve a discarded firearm and throw it at the advancing entity, knocking it down.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Oh Francis…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> That is no longer Francis, it is an abomination wearing his flesh.</p>
<p><em>Getting to its feet, SCP-8700-A repeatedly stomps the SCP-8700-2 entity's head with its foot, before rushing into the mess hall towards the last SCP-8700-2 instance as the previous entity detonates, leaving the hallway ruined and full of rubble. Supervisor Fiore follows SCP-8700-A into the mess hall before firing upon the entity with his lancer. SCP-8700-A rushes the entity and impales it through the chest with its fist before flinging it across the room towards a toppled drink dispenser cart where it detonates. Supervisor Fiore stares back at the hallway from which they came, while SCP-8700-A approaches the mess hall emergency shelter, dripping with blood.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Open the gate. It is safe now.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I knew him.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> What? Who? Ig are you alright? Ignatius?</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Stephens… The guard I just shot. I knew him. Liked him.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> I… Like Dom… You… Ig I need you need to stay on task. You need to keep moving. What's 8700-A doing?</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I don't know. Writing something I think.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Why do you not answer? Can you not hear me?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A is using the SCP-8700-2 entity's blood to write a message on the floor within view of the emergency shelters camera system. It reads "I need a weapon."</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> It's asking for a weapon. From the shelter.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Go see if there’s anyone inside. Send them back here where it’s safer.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Right, yes. Okay.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore approaches the emergency shelter, standing beside SCP-8700-A. The door has remained closed and is heavily burnt and scratched.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Hello? Are there any survivors inside?</p>
<p><em>The intercom activates.</em></p>
<p><strong>Research Assistant Hopper:</strong> Is it safe? We barely made it in here. The monsters, they were going to get in and we had to shut the door, we had no choice. Is that thing with you?</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Slow down, It’s alright. They’re gone now. We need to get you out of there. The shelter at the transit bay is safer for you right now.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A nudges Supervisor Fiore and points to its message on the ground.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> They will not heed my words.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> And weapons. We need weapons. Any help you can give us.</p>
<p><strong>Research Assistant Hopper:</strong> Do you have medicine? We're hurt bad here. We need help.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> No, but the transit bay shelter has set up a field hospital. The path there is clear. We really need to hurry here, Hopper.</p>
<p><strong>Research Assistant Hopper:</strong> Alright. We're coming out. Charlie, get Dr Triandafelidis ready to move, will you?</p>
<p><em>The emergency shelter door hisses, and slides open.

<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Well their blood's still on my fucking hands isn't it!? First Dom and then Francis! I'm not strong enough for this!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes you are. It is not the might of one's arm that is of value. It is your heart. <em><SCP-8700-A taps its finger on Supervisor Fiore's chest.></em> In the court of the dragon you will know your worth. I believe that worth is great indeed. Perhaps greater than you know.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> But how do I live with myself after? <em><Supervisor Fiore stares at his hands.></em> I've never shot anyone before. I never wanted to, and now everything's different. I'm different. I'm not me anymore.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Only the weak believe that what they do in battle is who they are as men. It is not who you are.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore wipes his eyes and looks up at SCP-8700-A.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Really?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes. And with each passing day that burden will ease as you realise this. Come.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A offers its hand to Supervisor Fiore. It is charred, blackened with soot and blood soaked. Supervisor Fiore takes the hand and is helped up. The pair then hurry towards the armory.</em></p>

At the Tertiary Defence Zone multiple water cannons and artillery weapons have been disabled by the SCP-8700-2 instances. The kill zone has suffered extreme damage from the multiple detonations caused by the instance's termination, but they continue to storm into the area. SCP-8700-2 Alpha has undergone further mutation, now standing seven metres tall at the shoulder, adopting a hunched, crocodilian posture and firing high pressure streams of molten lava at the defences. 22 personnel remain in fighting condition as they continue to defend the tertiary defence zone under Cmdr. Bratt's leadership.

<p><strong>Cpl. Margheriti:</strong> Got it!</p>
<p><em>Cpl. Margheriti takes the Ichneumon class heavy lancer and sprints through the transport trench towards the east flank. The air is filled with small arms fire, lancer fire and bursts of flame as the battle continues above. Cpl. Margheriti emerges at the east flank command post in time to see a large chunk of structural concrete slam into a howitzer station, with an SCP-8700-2 instance immediately attempting to enter through the damaged section and being knocked back by lancer fire. Cpl. Margheriti runs to the gunner's tower, climbing the ladder and emerging on the top.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cpl. Margheriti:</strong> Sgt. Susta, I've been sent to support you, don't shoot me!</p>
<p><em>Cpl. Margheriti moves to take position, but hesitates as Sgt. Susta drops her weapon and clutches her head. SCP-8700-2 Alpha can be seen below staring at the Sgt. and speaking rapidly, but is unable to be heard from this distance. Sgt. Susta falls to her knees as her eyes begin to emit a golden glow and large horns rapidly emerge from the sides of her head as she falls from the tower into the east flank defensive line.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cpl. Margheriti:</strong> Oh, Jesus no.</p>
<p><em>Cpl. Margheriti opens fire into the masses of SCP-8700-2 entities, terminating many of them as they place their bodies between the corporal's fire and the primary entity. The sound of gunfire from below grows quieter before Cpl. Margheriti looks down to investigate, where several MTF combatants can be seen undergoing the same process as Sgt. Susta. The sergeant can be seen below completing its transformation into an SCP-8700-2 entity and launching an attack on those around her. Cpl. Margheriti seals the entry hatch to the gunner's tower and opens fire on the affected individuals.</em></p>
<p><em>The newly formed SCP-8700-2 instances spread within the east flank, forcing it to be abandoned by Cmdr. Bratt. It is flooded with water cannons and redesignated a hostile zone. With increasing numbers of SCP-8700-2 instances pressing their attack, the primary instance directs more of those equipped with Ichneumon class lancers back towards the armory, before launching an attack via the now fallen east flank.</em></p>
<p><em>Cpl. Margheriti throws his last grenade into the masses of SCP-8700-2 entities and fires indiscriminately at the crowd below. SCP-8700-2 Alpha can be seen leading an attack on the western flank, throwing a destroyed howitzer at the western gun tower. Cpl. Margheriti fires upon the instance, but is interrupted as an SCP-8700-2 instance claws its way through the gun tower access panel, grabbing his leg. He fires upon the entity, terminating it and attempting to kick its body loose from the tower. He is unsuccessful.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cpl. Margheriti:</strong> <em>Figlio di puttana</em>…</p>
<p><em>The detonation of the SCP-8700-2 instance's body destroys the eastern gun tower, leaving the entire eastern flank overrun. SCP-8700-2 Alpha roars and emits a high pressure jet of molten lava at the western flank's defences before multiple MTF combatants eyes begin to glow yellow and numerous SCP-8700-2 instances begin to scale the walls.</em></p>

<hr/>
<p>Supervisor Fiore and SCP-8700-A make their way over the bridge spanning the chasm between the modern and historic portions of Site-536. They take cover behind a partially destroyed defensive position as they approach the battlements of the historic site, having spotted a pair of SCP-8700-2 entities equipped with Ichneumon class weaponry manning them. The cavern lighting system has been damaged, plunging the space into darkness. SCP-8700-A nudges multiple snakes over the edge of the bridge with its feet as they approach Supervisor Fiore. The sounds of the battle in the tertiary defence zone echo towards them.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> You don't need to hurt them all, just get the venomous ones out of the way.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I care not. Things that crawl on their bellies are the image of the wyrm and its servants.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I have leg guards on, it's fine.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> You have kindness in your heart. You must steel it for the battle to come.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I know, I know. Give me a second to line up a shot alright? I'm checking the distance from here to the towers.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Use the rangefinder in the sight. It'll turn green when you have a clean shot.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Battlements. Not towers.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Whatever, I'm doing it. I'm just saying, I've done alright so far. You said so yourself. Never underestimate a Sicilian when death is on the line, you know?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Nerd.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> That play is sinful and nonsensical, you should not take lessons from it.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> They're called films, not plays.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I care not. Enough bravado, you are adequately prepared.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Deccoco said it could help, but I don't think it does. Even though they're not who they used to be, it still doesn't feel right to shoot them.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> That worked for him, not you, Ig. Just get through this, and if you're really that fucked up afterwards you can get amnesticised later.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> You must. Time escapes us. I cannot protect you if they use their sorcery on me.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A gestures to the Ichneumon class lancer in Supervisor Fiore's hands. There is a series of three loud cracking and sizzling sounds as Fiore fires the weapon, hitting the SCP-8700-2 entity manning the east battlement. It cries out as it falls into the chasm below, before detonating as it impacts the ground. The second SCP-8700-2 instance roars and opens fire on their position.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> A fine hit. Force it to cower, I shall advance.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> <em><nodding and wiping his eyes.></em> Just like we planned.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Just breathe, Ig. Breathe and spray at the tower.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore nods and raises the weapon out of cover, laying down a line of fire at the battlements and forcing the SCP-8700-2 instance into cover. SCP-8700-A begins to sprint down the bridge, taking cover as Fiore calls out his reloads. This continues until SCP-8700-A enters the gatehouse. Supervisor Fiore continues to fire at the battlement until the SCP-8700-2 instance cries out loudly before a detonation is heard. SCP-8700-A clangs its now partially melted halligan bar against itself, making a loud banging sound.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> That the signal? Move up, Ig.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I am. I think 8700-A took its head off.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Just remember you're in control here, Ig. If it threatens you, tries to leave, anything other than helps you, hit that button. It's not your friend.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I know, I know.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A meets Supervisor Fiore at the gatehouse. No SCP-8700-2 entities are present, allowing them to press onward towards the armory.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Are you harmed?</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I'm alright. Were you hit?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> No, but I am experiencing a degree of weakness still from earlier. The sorcery in those weapons is fell indeed. We must avoid it.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Yeah, they're— Oh shit what the fuck!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> What is it? Ig, what's happening?</p>
<p><em>As they enter the ransacked armory mounds of corpses can be seen piled along the walls, showing signs of torture and execution. Supervisor Fiore gags before bending over double and vomiting on the floor. A large komodo dragon (</em>Varanus komodoensis<em>) emerges from a cabinet, making its way towards a mound and seizing the leg of an unidentified researcher in its jaws, tugging on it.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Monstrous. I shall slay the beast.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Oh god. It's a massacre, Elena… Piles of bodies everywhere, burned up. Fucking hell, it smells like pork. There’s a lizard the size of my car here.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> So fucking hold your breath and shoot it. Get a gas mask on and hurry up. Don't think about it, just do!</p>
<p><em>As SCP-8700-A moves to stab the lizard, a deep rumble is heard within the mound of bodies. A large mass underneath moves violently, pulling the unidentified body and komodo dragon away from SCP-8700-A and dislodging the bodies resting atop it, revealing the mass to be an estuarine crocodile (</em>Crocodylus porosus<em>). The komodo dragon briefly attempts to drag the body away from the larger animal, but quickly relents and is grabbed by SCP-8700-A, who tosses the lizard across the room, causing it to flee towards the guardhouse and out of sight. SCP-8700-A then proceeds to impale the crocodile through the head with the halligan tool.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> FUCK!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Come. It is safe.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> What is it? Ig, you need to talk to me, tell me what’s happening.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> There was a fucking crocodile. That hasn't happened since 2012, what the fuck?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> You have a gun Ig, you're more dangerous than any animal. Get armed up and get the tin can to the sword. Do what what's his name does, show me you're not left handed.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I am though.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I am left handed, though.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore.</strong> Whatever. Just grab the rheinmetall and some class-A armor. It's the best shit we got for resisting heat and impact.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Rain what?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Rheinmetall. It’s a grenade launcher. Next to the sniper rifles.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Alright. I see it.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore follows SCP-8700-A into the armory, retrieving a set of Class-A heat resistant body armor, respirator and grenade launcher as they move. Fiore equips the armor plates before continuing on.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> SCP-8700-A1 will be in the locker at the end of the corridor. I'll scan my ID and we'll go meet up with Commander Bratt.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A nods before heading around the corner, and is immediately hit with multiple large calibre rounds. It ducks back around the corner as Ichneumon class lancer fire burns through the air, narrowly missing it.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Two of them. They have a sorcerous weapon <em><SCP-8700-A sighs></em>. Deploy a holy hand grenade at them so I might advance.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I'm not hit, I'm ok.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Good. Keep low, let the tin can do the work. You toss a grenade and hang back.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore tosses a grenade around the corner and the SCP-8700-2 instances can be heard yelling in alarm before it detonates. SCP-8700-A charges around the corner, screaming, as Fiore covers it from behind. Both SCP-8700-2 instances have been knocked to the ground by the grenade, with one having lost its legs and the other an arm. SCP-8700-A impales the remnants of the halligan bar into one instance's head before turning and disarming the second as the first instance detonates.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> See how they crumble before us, my friend? You are more capable than you believed.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I guess s—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> NO!</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore cries out in pain as he is suddenly struck from behind with great force, shattering the central plate of his armor unit, and thrown into a shelving unit by a previously unnoticed SCP-8700-2 instance, causing him to drop his weaponry. The entity is covered in blood and scraps of flesh hanging from its teeth, brandishing a set of long talons at Fiore as it approaches him. It raises an arm and slashes at Fiore, but is interrupted by a sudden and prolonged burst of gunfire ripping through its body as SCP-8700-A advances upon it, holding a smoking LMG in its hand.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Unhand him you foul beast!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Ig!? Fiore, what's happening!? Ignatius, respond! What's happening!?</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore covers his head with his arms and cries out as SCP-8700-A charges the SCP-8700-2 entity, leaping over debris and tackling the entity away from Fiore. The SCP-8700-2 entity roars and fires a blast of molten lava into SCP-8700-A's torso and head, splashing the surrounding room and Fiore, who is protected by his armor. SCP-8700-A proceeds to bludgeon the entity to death before diving over Fiore as it detonates.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Ig! Ig, answer me! Please respond, please!</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I'm burning! Fuck! Oh god, it’s on me! It's hot!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Ig! Are you injured!? Ig!</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A stands, examines Supervisor Fiore before grabbing him by the shoulder and shaking him before briefly embracing him.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> You are whole. You are safe. It did not penetrate the armor.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I am? It didn't get me?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A shakes its head and brusquely pulls Fiore to his feet, tugging him towards the locker housing SCP-8700-A1.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> How… You… When did you…</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A looks from the LMG to Fiore.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I have observed your men at arms for near on 80 years. I was unsure of the sorcery powering the weapon, but was able to imitate the necessary actions to summon forth its power.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore stares at SCP-8700-A</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> What the fuck…</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> It didn't get you? What does that mean!? God dammit Fiore, respond!</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I— I think I'm alright. 8700-A saved me. I was scared, it was spraying lava around and I thought it got me.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Jesus Christ, Ig, you nearly gave me a heart attack.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> [Crying] Me too. Fuck, me too.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore wipes his eyes and scans his identification in the receptacle, opening the locker. SCP-8700-A immediately retrieves its weapon, an ornate steel longsword engraved with draconic imagery.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> You're nearly there. It's almost over. Just one more push and it’s over, alright? I'm proud of you, Ig. We all are.</p>
<p><em>Faint cheering and words of encouragement can be heard through the radio.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> You see, Ig? We all believe in you.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> They are right to do so. You must believe in yourself, Ignatius.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore smiles sadly and picks up his weapons, clearing his throat and breathing deeply.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Thanks guys. Really. <em><Fiore takes a deep breath.></em> Fuck it. Let's do this. If I don't make it out of this, look after my cat for me, Elena. Her name is Foo-Foo-Cuddly-Poops.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> [Tilting its head] That is a foolish name.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> You're getting through this, Ig. When you come through the other side, you and I will go and pour some drinks for Sean, Roy… And Dom.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A places its hand on Supervisor Fiore's shoulder.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> We approach the court of the dragon. We will destroy it, and avenge our brothers and sisters. When we descend to the battlefield, and you will see how strong you are.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore nods, shouldering the grenade launcher, breathing deeply for a moment. SCP-8700-A nods back to him, and Fiore leads the way towards the tertiary defence zone.</em></p>

<br/>
The remaining MTF forces in the tertiary defence zone have retreated to the final line, a defensive structure protecting the entry to SCP-8700's containment chamber should all else fail. With both the eastern and western flanks fallen and SCP-8700-2 instances streaming towards the structure, Commander Bratt has ordered that they hold ground until help can arrive from nearby sites.
<hr/>
<p><em>The air is full of flame, Ichneumon class weapons fire and thrown projectiles as the SCP-8700-2 instances swarm the bunker. They are terminated in large numbers, causing significant structural damage, but do not slow their assault. The fifteen MTF agents within are visibly exhausted, wounded and running low on supplies, but continue to fight.</em><br/>
<em>The SCP-8700-2 instances have surrounded the Final Line and are gnawing and clawing in an attempt to break in, even as the defences and defenders terminate them one after another. SCP-8700-2 Alpha hangs back, towering over the battle as it drags itself across the defence zone and fires unrelenting streams of pressurised lava at the structure. Two MTF agents are hit by Ichneumon lancer fire, vaporising them from the hip and torso up, respectively.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cmdr. Bratt:</strong> We all know when we take this job that we could lose our lives any day. Whether we're shot, stabbed, eaten or torn to shreds by some nightmare beyond comprehension, we know it’s coming. We tell ourselves not today. Not today. Later. Well, later has come today, hammers!</p>
<p><em>Sgt. Lee completes arming an improvised explosive device within the bunker. He locks eyes with Cmdr. Bratt and nods before taking up arms and resuming the assault. Another MTF member is killed as an SCP-8700-2 instance detonates upon its death, flooding their section with lava.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cmdr. Bratt:</strong> All we can do now is fight! Fight for time, for each other, for the world or out of sheer stubbornness! I don't care what your reasons are, all I care about is that you fight! Fight to the last breath! Take as many of them with us as you can!</p>
<p><em>The remnants of the MTF forces terminate multiple SCP-8700-2 instances in rapid succession, but are rapidly becoming overrun. An additional MTF unit is lost as multiple SCP-8700-2 instances are able to fire weapons into the bunker.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cmdr. Bratt:</strong> Area 14 is full of the names of the fallen! All earned their place on the avenue of honour! We are soon to join them! How will you earn your plaque? How will you be remembered? How will you die? I will die fighting! To the death!</p>
<p><em>The SCP-8700-2 numbers have been reduced drastically in the assault of the Final Line. Numerous instances make suicidal charges in attempt to overwhelm the defenders, succeeding in the killing of three more MTF combatants and significantly weakening the defences. SCP-8700-2 Alpha rushes towards the bunker, roaring and breathing fire as it approaches.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cmdr. Bratt:</strong> TO THE DEATH!</p>
<p><strong>Sgt. Jackson:</strong> DEATH!</p>
<p><strong>Lt. Ward:</strong> DEATH!</p>
<p><strong>Cpt. Blacha:</strong> DEATH!</p>
<p><strong>Sgt. Lee:</strong> DEATH!</p>
<p><strong>Sgt. Karpyshyn:</strong> DEATH!</p>
<p><strong>Lt. Gaider:</strong> DEATH!</p>
<p><strong>Lt. Kamiya:</strong> DEATH!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon"><em>DEATH!</em></span></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-2 Alpha rears up on its hind legs and slams its forelimbs against the roof's structure, shattering it and flooding the area with fire. Secondary SCP-8700-2 instances follow it into the breach, engaging the survivors of the assault as the primary instance seizes Cmdr. Bratt in its talons, raising her up towards its face. She stabs at it with her combat knife before the dead man's switch falls from her hand. SCP-8700-2 Alpha lunges to bite the commander, but is interrupted by the detonation of Sgt. Lee's device. The explosion is enormous, terminating the majority of the remaining SCP-8700-2 instances and severely damaging the remaining fortifications.</em></p>

<hr/>
<p>Supervisor Fiore and SCP-8700-A stand in the elevator, descending towards the tertiary defence the zone. The sounds of the battle have ceased after an extremely loud explosion, and the temperature steadily rises. Supervisor Fiore has equipped a full set of Class-A heat resistant armor and a rebreather, holding his Ichneumon lancer at the ready. SCP-8700-A stands between supervisor Fiore and the elevator's exit, holding SCP-8700-A1 in one hand and a Foundation issue crowd control shield strapped to the other. It wears a belt of 40mm grenade magazines around its waist. The camera feeds can be seen experiencing numerous visual glitches resembling reptilian eyes, scales and teeth, along with growling sounds.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>The elevator comes to a stop with a gentle jolt. The doors remain closed, but SCP-8700-2 instances can be heard on the other side. Supervisor Fiore bounces on his toes, breathing rapidly.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I can do this. I can do this.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> My shield will not hold long. We must reach cover fast.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Give the 'nade launcher to 8700-A when its shield is done, Ig. You'll need all the help you can get moving through the kill zone.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Right. Then we go as planned? I keep them down, you move up?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Yes. Are you ready to see your worth?</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore nods and scans his identification card in the elevator's receptacle before pressing a button. The heavy doors slide open into the defence zone's entry corridor, revealing the mangled remains of the structure, cratered by artillery fire and SCP-8700-2 detonations. Smoke fills the air, and water covers the top few centimetres of the ground. SCP-8700-A crouches and starts to advance down the corridor, while supervisor Fiore keeps close behind.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> There is little cover in the area ahead. We shall need to use the rubble.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Ready.</p>
<p><em>The pair rapidly move into the kill zone, a long and narrow corridor leading straight towards the tertiary defence zone's raised fortifications. The fortifications are badly damaged and lightly manned by the remaining SCP-8700-2 instances while SCP-8700-2 Alpha attempts to melt through the blast doors into SCP-8700's primary containment chamber. Piles of rubble litter the kill zone and the bodies of fallen MTF members lay strewn about as they fell. A commotion stirs among the SCP-8700-2 instances as they spot supervisor Fiore and SCP-8700-A's approach and they open fire on them with Ichneumon class weaponry.</em></p>
<p><em>The blasts of energy shriek through the air before slamming into SCP-8700-A's shield and surrounding space repeatedly, rapidly melting through it as the pair take cover behind a pile of rubble. SCP-8700-A discards the ruined shield and nods to supervisor Fiore.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Fill the sky with your fire.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Get ready to run!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Head down and hustle, move fast.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore passes the grenade launcher to SCP-8700-A and readies his Ichneumon lancer. He nods to SCP-8700-A and begins to blind fire over the rubble towards the SCP-8700-2 instances. SCP-8700-A waits a moment before vaulting over the rubble and charging down the kill zone, firing the grenade launcher repeatedly. Multiple SCP-8700-2 instances charge at SCP-8700-A, but are rapidly cut down and terminated as it passes. Supervisor Fiore cries out as he fires at the SCP-8700-2 targets, moving closer as they are pushed back by the barrage of grenades.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Tell me how my steel tastes, little worms!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Don't get too mad, stay cautious!</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I know, I know! It just helps!</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-2 Alpha turns away from the blast doors and looks down the kill zone. It has further mutated, now measuring approximately 18 metres in length, with structures resembling human spinal columns bristling with long horns interwoven with its scales and dorsal spines. Nearly half of its face has been traumatically removed by the detonation of Sgt. Lee's device, and her knife can be seen embedded beneath its now empty eye socket. Its remaining eye is a luminescent golden colour, and molten lava drips from it's jaws.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">There you are, worm. I had thought you too feeble to reach me, but I see you have chosen to die at my feet instead. Just like your pathetic sister. You cannot triumph against me any more than she could, wretch.</span></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A falters in its charge as SCP-8700-2 Alpha speaks, before screaming in rage and firing a volley of grenades towards it, reloading on the move. The rounds impact the entity, but only appear to deal superficial damage. The entity laughs, and the secondary instances resume firing and charging at SCP-8700-A.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> How dare you speak of her! I will rip your entrails from your bloody corpse!</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> RUN! Don't listen to it, just run!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Are they fucking talking!?</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> It’s trying to distract him, get in his head!</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore continues to slowly move up and fire upon the SCP-8700-2 instances, successfully terminating one. SCP-8700-A begins to gather speed again, but is hit in the shoulder by the blast of an Ichneumon lancer and staggers, falling against a pile of rubble and hacking at the closer SCP-8700-2 instances with its sword.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> [Weakly] Come at me then.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> MACARIUS!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Cover him! Keep them down! Keep them down! Keep them down!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> [Laughing] <span class="Dragon">So very weak. How can you even hope to reach me? You cannot even reach the end of this room. Nor could you to aid your sister. What was she called, I wonder? Ah yes, Eve, That was it. Do you think she even knew the sound of her own name, after I ensnared her heart and broke her mind?</span></p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore lays down suppressive fire, switching between targets rapidly. SCP-8700-A continues to fend off the SCP-8700-2 instances, dismembering and beheading them in rapid succession while roaring in fury.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Do not speak her name! By my blade, you will not speak her name!</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> It's full of shit, Macarius! It's still the same stupid piece of shit you've been tearing apart for the past five hundred years! you can do this! Ignore it and shoot the little ones on the wall!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">Stupid? Oh no no no, little worm. Stupid is serving those who would melt you down for scrap given the opportunity. Stupid, is happily putting on a leash and following the commands of your jailers, even knowing they have spilled just as much innocent blood as I. Ignoring them openly learning to kill you, right in your very own home.</span></p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore lays down more suppressive fire. SCP-8700-A does also and begins to advance once more, having terminated the SCP-8700-2 instances in the kill zone, but is slower in its movements. The combined barrage terminates a further three SCP-8700-2 instances.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">Or you, Ignatius. Just how do you hope to stand in my way? How do you plan to save yourself from the fire, when even your champion cannot? Even your <em>precious</em> Foundation, those who have hunted down and slaughtered countless lives before me, have been blind to their own weakness. Did you <em>really</em> think me some mindless beast, smashing my might against your shores so aimlessly? Oh no, I am FAR more than that. Your lives are so short. So meaningless. How easily you forget the lessons of the past when you believe time is on your side.</span></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A advances again, firing grenades as it moves. Supervisor Fiore advances slowly, well behind SCP-8700-A, and fires his lancer constantly. All surviving SCP-8700-2 instances are now remaining behind cover in the tertiary defence zone's fortifications.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> I shall avenge the fate of those you have slain upon you before the day is out, monster! You cannot face us both! I shall have your blood!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Ignore it, Ig, it's stalling, it knows you're a threat.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">So easily fooled. In a mere blink of an eye, you grow careless; believe you know the extent of what I am capable of. Just like Macarius, and his beloved Eve, stealing into my lair in the night, thinking she could make a difference. Daring to her filthy hands on MY TREASURE!? Imagine, a flea biting a god. But she paid oh so dearly for what she wrought, didn't she Macarius? Reduced to an animal, rolling in its own filth. If her feeble aid could not help you best me, what makes you believe this will be any different?</span></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A bolts from cover, firing multiple grenades as it exits the kill zone and bellowing in fury, but is driven back by Ichneumon weapons fire as a group of SCP-8700-2 instances emerge from cover. It is knocked down to the ground by multiple blasts, feebly firing the grenade launcher in their direction before collapsing, scattering them while SCP-8700 Alpha laughs.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Curse you! Curse you!</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> NO! Wait for me!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Don't rush in, Ig!</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore rushes down the kill zone and into cover near SCP-8700-A, narrowly avoiding fire from the nine remaining secondary SCP-8700-2 instances. He takes several deep breaths before tossing grenades towards the instances, pushing them back towards the battlements and terminating one. SCP-8700-2 Alpha turns and resumes attempting to melt and claw through the blast doors leading to SCP-8700's primary containment chamber.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> [laughing] <span class="Dragon">How very pathetic. See to it Macarius lays broken. You may have the flea, my children. Do with it as you will.</span></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Get up, Macarius! Get up!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Buy it some time, Ig! It needs to recover!</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Oh fuck… Can't believe I'm doing this.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Doing what? Ig? What are you doing!?</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore vaults out of cover and sprints out of the kill zone, towards the tertiary defence zone's fortifications. The SCP-8700-2 instances turn their attention from the motionless SCP-8700-A to Fiore, chittering excitedly.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Come and get me, motherfuckers!</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Ig, what the fuck are you doing!? IG!</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore opens fire on the SCP-8700-2 instances as he runs through the area, but does not cause significant damage. They laugh and begin to chase him. Some open fire, but either miss or fail to penetrate Fiore's body armor.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> What you said to do! Buying time!</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore pulls the pin on a grenade and drops the belt on the ground in the path of the SCP-8700-2 instances, before diving over SCP-8700-A for cover. The pursuing instances are caught in the blast, detonating violently as all but four are terminated.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Yes! Yes! I got them! Suck my a—</p>
<p><em>The four surviving SCP-8700-2 entities rise unsteadily to their feet, howling and roaring as gouts of flame and molten lava pour from their wounds. They begin to approach Supervisor Fiore and SCP-8700-A, who begins to stir with a groan.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> No! Fuck!</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore opens fire on the approaching SCP-8700-2 instances, but is unable to hit them. The lead entity lunges for him, but has its arm caught by SCP-8700-A as it brings itself to its feet. It wearily bisects the entity with its sword, kicking and tossing the entity's remains away and looking up at the remaining instances.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Come forth then, cowards. Face one equal to your strength.</p>
<p><em>The blast doors leading to SCP-8700's containment chamber give way as the primary SCP-8700-2 instance rips them from their housings. Artillery and Ichneumon class weaponry are heard firing from within, followed by a roar of flame as the instance attacks the last defenders of SCP-8700.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> What's happening!?</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore opens fire upon the remaining instances, distracting them as SCP-8700-A charges them. Caught unawares, two instances are terminated as they are beheaded and impaled respectively by SCP-8700-A. Turning to flee, it is shot by Fiore before detonating.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> It's in the chamber.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Hurry!</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore and SCP-8700-A exchange a nod before hurrying towards the containment chamber, with SCP-8700-A's movement being visibly laboured. It appears battered and charred as it moves. The pair help each other climb the rubble, reaching the top as SCP-8700-2 Alpha enters the containment chamber. As Fiore catches his breath, SCP-8700-A advances towards the containment chamber.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Come, Ignatius. I shall gift its heart to you after I have torn it from the wretch's chest.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Stop, 8700-A. It’s getting to you. They're just words. Don't let it use your anger to control you. Please.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A pauses and looks down at the ground for a moment before nodding.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Your words are true. Come. We must not delay.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A turns and makes for the containment chamber.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Its fucking massive, Elena. 8700-A's slowed right down by everything we've gone through. It's going to be close. I'm going in.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Good luck, Ig. I believe in you.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore takes a deep breath and shoulders his weapon, then runs after SCP-8700-A into the primary containment chamber.</em></p>

<hr/>
<p>SCP-8700-A and supervisor Fiore run through the ruined blast doors into SCP-8700's primary containment chamber, chasing SCP-8700-2 Alpha. The entity leaves a trail of molten lava behind it, and the containment chamber radiates intense heat. Raging fires and gases emerge from the pit beneath SCP-8700, surrounding the containment pillar and lowered drawbridge. Volcanic activity shakes the structure as SCP-8700-2 Alpha slithers down from the bridge terminal into the flames. SCP-8700 sits embedded within the stone, contained securely beneath chains and cables and housed within a reinforced containment unit, its glow visible through the inspection viewports.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Well, it's like you said. Into the court of the dragon. I can hear its voice.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Take heart and fear no darkness. If its words could find purchase in your soul they would have done so already.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> If you say so. What are we going to do, what's the plan?</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> You're going to kill a dragon, that's what you're going to do.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Remain here and fire upon the wyrm. I am going to put this foul beast to the sword once more. Do not meet its gaze.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore reaches the drawbridge control panel and activates it with his identification pass. The bridge begins to rise, but its movement is hampered by the heat and volcanic activity, rising slowly. SCP-8700-2 Alpha's head emerges from the flames as it climbs SCP-8700's plinth. It spreads its wings as it emerges, beating them to fan the flames before assaulting SCP-8700's containment unit with its claws and fists, growling all the while.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Do not follow me across the bridge. It will incinerate you or worse.</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Got it. I'll stay here and cover you. Just be careful. Don't let it goad you.</p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> 8700-2 instances are more vulnerable on their bellies, eyes and mouths, Ig. Make your shots count, and stay down behind cover.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A places a fist to its chest and bows to Supervisor Fiore before turning to the bridge and rolling its shoulders, slamming its sword into its breastplate noisily. As it steps onto the nearly raised bridge. SCP-8700-2 raises its head, fixing its remaining eye on SCP-8700-A as it rips the containment unit free and tosses it aside.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Hail, Typhon, wretched and accursed! I have come to destroy you, foul worm, as I have done so many times before. Come now, and face your death, for I have little patience left for your poisonous words.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-2 Alpha bristles and lets out a deep snarl.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">YOU. There you are after all. Are you here to beg my mercy, before I reclaim my crown? No, it matters not. You will not receive a clean death like your witless sister, or the Fell Hand. No no no, you will SUFFER. You will suffer, beyond fear and pain for centuries for what you have wrought. Come then and die for me!</span></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-2 Alpha lets out a guttural roar as a jet of intense flame and molten lava erupt from its throat, engulfing SCP-8700-A as it marches towards the plinth. While slowed, SCP-8700-A is not deterred, advancing with its sword drawn and golden light shining between its plates from the runes within. Supervisor Fiore fires at the entity from behind cover, hitting its head and shoulders. SCP-8700-2 Alpha sneers and bares its teeth.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">And what better way to suffer, than at the unwilling hands of one you care for?</span></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-2 Alpha diverts its gave to Supervisor Fiore as SCP-8700-A breaks into a sprint towards the entity. Golden light shines from its eye onto Fiore as it pries the chains and cables from SCP-8700.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">Stand now, peon, and be my creature. Slay this wretch, or yourself should you fail!</span></p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore slowly rises to his feet, staring at SCP-8700-2 Alpha as faint golden light begins to shine in his eyes, mouth growing slack as he raises his weapon. The beast begins to laugh as SCP-8700-A nears the plinth.</em></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> What are you waiting for, Ig!? Shoot that thing! Show it you're not left handed!</p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> Get fucked, you discount Smaug wannabe!</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore opens fire, aiming for SCP-8700-2 Alpha's exposed underbelly as the reflection of golden light passes over his eyes. The sizzling bolts of energy shriek through the air, colliding with its soft flesh with loud cracks and showers of molten blood as SCP-8700-A leaps into the air towards the entity as it roars in enraged surprise. The sword plunges deep within SCP-8700-2 Alpha's chest, the wound erupting with flame and lava. It flings itself back into the air, shaking SCP-8700-A loose onto the plinth as it rises, circling around the chamber on enormous wings. SCP-8700-A circles SCP-8700, keeping its body between it and SCP-8700-2 Alpha.</em></p>
<p><em>The creature emits gouts of flame and lava as it flies, screaming and roaring before diving towards SCP-8700, grabbing at it with its hands, but is intercepted by SCP-8700-2 A, who slashes at its hands, severing a digit. The entity roars in fury and crashes into the plinth, snatching SCP-8700-A within its crocodilian jaws and shaking the knight vigorously, still attempting to draw SCP-8700 from its stone even as it lashes its tail and flings debris at Supervisor Fiore, who is still firing at the entity from within cover. The fires within the chamber grow ever more intense as noxious gases swirl in the air.</em></p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A manages to drive its sword into SCP-8700-2 Alpha's lower jaw, impaling and then splitting it in two, before falling to the ground beside SCP-8700. SCP-8700-2 Alpha shrieks and tosses its head, reeling back into the flames as SCP-8700-A gets back to its feet, brandishing its sword.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">You tire, Macarius! Crippled by the very hand of those you would call ally. The very tool your ward clutches in its hands was built only to destroy you, and still you throw yourself into the fire for them. Surely, you must know that what you have done in this place has forever tainted your very soul. The paradise your church dreams of shall forever elude you. As foolhardy and murderous you were in life, thankful you must be to know that your sister never witnessed you become the pathetic creature I see before me now.</span></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> It's scared of you, Macarius! All it has are words! Don't listen to its lies!</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-A snarls and brandishes its sword.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Keep your tongue behind your teeth, craven. You will get what you deserve.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> [laughing] <span class="Dragon">Oh will I indeed?</span></p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore stands and opens fire at SCP-8700-2 Alpha's soft underside, opening a wound and causing the creature to recoil into the pit below. Fiore and SCP-8700-A peer into the flames, looking for the entity as it leaps for the supervisor, snatching him into its claws before taking to the air once more. SCP-8700-A cries out in alarm as Fiore screams and struggles in the creature's grip, his armor beginning to smoulder and melt.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">Lies, was it!? It matters not what you say, he knows the weakness that lies within his craven heart! Let me show you, before I feast on your bones!</span></p>
<p><strong>CAS-1 Salvatore:</strong> Ig!? Ig, talk to me! What's happen—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-A:</strong> Release him!</p>
<p><em>SCP-8700-2 Alpha lands heavily on the plinth, breathing gouts of flame at SCP-8700-A and holding supervisor Fiore in one hand. His armor and radio continue to melt and smoulder as he struggles and screams in pain, dropping his weapon in the process. SCP-8700-A roars and rushes forward, attempting to strike the creature with its sword, but pulls back at the last moment as SCP-8700-2 Alpha moves Fiore into the path of the strike and slashes at the knight with its talons. SCP-8700-A is knocked to the ground, dropping SCP-8700-A1 on the drawbridge.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">There is nothing left for you now, but your death!</span></p>
<p><em>As SCP-8700-A attempts to rise, SCP-8700-2 Alpha tosses supervisor Fiore aside and pounces on the knight, pinning it down with one hand and attempting to dig the talons of its free hand between the plates of its helm. SCP-8700-A struggles against the creature, growling and grunting with exertion. Fiore slides along the drawbridge and comes to a stop against its railing, screaming in pain.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8700-2 Alpha:</strong> <span class="Dragon">You are nothing, Macarius Son of Gwynhoiarn. You will die like nothing; none shall remember your name. You have failed.</span></p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore stops screaming and begins to pat himself down. He cries out in pain as he discovers severe burns to his arms, torso and thighs, along with numerous compound fractures in his right arm. SCP-8700-2 Alpha breathes huge gouts of flame point blank at SCP-8700-A and continues frenziedly attempting to rip it apart. SCP-8700-A attempts to resist, punching kicking and tearing at the larger entity's flesh, but is unable to dissuade it from its attack.</em></p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore crawls down the drawbridge at speed, muttering something to himself repeatedly. As he approaches the entities he recovers SCP-8700-A1, grabbing it in his hand and using it to stand to his feet. He takes a deep breath and takes a few steps before gripping the sword more tightly.</em></p>
<p><strong>Supervisor Fiore:</strong> I <em>am</em> left handed.</p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore breaks into an unsteady sprint towards SCP-8700-2 Alpha, which is now staring intently at SCP-8700-A as its joints groan and creak under the pressure of the creature's rending claws. Its split lower jaw hangs agape with relish as SCP-8700-A roars in fury and pain. SCP-8700-A feebly attempts to punch and tear at SCP-8700-2 Alpha's face, gripping it by the bottom jaw and twisting it with a loud cracking sound.</em></p>
<p><em>Supervisor Fiore gasps as he flings himself and SCP-8700-A1 at SCP-8700-2 Alpha's blind side, slicing its wrinkled throat open with the sword's momentum and landing heavily beside SCP-8700 with a pained cry. SCP-8700-2 Alpha's eye widens in pain and shock as torrents of lava burst from the wound and its throat onto the prone SCP-8700-A, unsteady now and scrabbling to find purchase on the plinth. Seizing the opportunity, SCP-8700-A wrenches hard on the creature's ruined lower jaw with a loud yell, pushing with its feet to heave the entity's enormous head into SCP-8700's exposed blade. The sword bites deep into the beast's head, bisecting it vertically as its single golden eye widens in shock before rolling upwards. SCP-8700-A shoves the massive entity with its feet, sending the body sliding off the plinth into the flames below, before crawling to supervisor Fiore and covering his unconscious body with its own, shielding him from the violent detonation of the SCP-8700-2 Alpha's body.</em></p>

<div class="balthdiv">
<br/>
SCP-8700-A exits the primary containment chamber, carrying supervisor Fiore in its arms. It moves unsteadily, picking its way through the rubble carefully, but with haste. It is charred and has deep scratches on its surface from SCP-8700-2 Alpha's assault, moving with a limp despite a lack of organic material that could be damaged in such a way.
<p>It makes its way through the site, avoiding fires and potentially dangerous reptiles within, taking the same path it and supervisor Fiore took to reach the primary containment chamber. Upon reaching the transit bay emergency shelter, SCP-8700-A slumps against the door, pounding it with its fist. The door slowly slides open as CAS-1 Salvatore, Dr. Greddock and custodian Lunerti exit the shelter to assist the entity in moving Fiore to the field hospital, where he is prepared for surgery.</p>
<p>SCP-8700-A reaches out its hand to Supervisor Fiore before collapsing on the ground, where it remains motionless.</p>
<hr/></div>
<p>Following these events surviving staff hastily treated supervisor Ignatius Fiore's wounds and were able to stabilise his condition, leaving him comatose. Foundation reinforcements arrived at Site-536 at 1:56PM of the same day and were able to re-secure the site, returning SCP-8700-A to its cell, recover SCP-8700-A1 and terminate four remaining SCP-8700-2 instances in and around the site. SCP-8700-A was observed to regain its mobility and ability to communicate 17 hours after its re-containment. A temporary containment unit was constructed over SCP-8700 and reconstruction of the site began under heavy guard from MTF-Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") operatives.</p>
<p>As reconstruction efforts were in progress, a thorough investigation into the incident was launched. Testimonies from surviving site staff, surveillance footage and forensic investigation into the activities of the late Director George Eddings aided in the investigation's relatively fast conclusion, helping to shape revisions to SCP-8700's containment procedures. Of particular note were journals belonging to the late Director detailing numerous hallucinations and dreams revolving around SCP-8700-1, along with a long history of embezzlement of Foundation funds and assets. Director Eddings was subsequently posthumously demoted and his honours scrubbed from Foundation records.</p>
<p>All Foundation staff lost in the incident were buried with full honours, with awards for bravery, resourcefulness and heroism awarded posthumously where applicable. Commander Reul Bratt and her forces in particular were honored, having terminated over 400 SCP-8700-2 instances during the battle. Containment Acquisition Specialist Elena Salvatore accepted the awards on behalf of the fallen, along with hers and Containment Supervisor Ignatius Fiore's own medals in a private ceremony. SCP-8700-A was also provided with a medal for its actions. Following investigation into supervisor Fiore's history and actions during the incident, it was discovered that he had scored in the top 1.9% of those tested in anti-coercion tests. It is the current belief that this extreme resistance to anomalous coercion allowed him to resist the SCP-8700-2 instance's mind effecting abilities, and was noted.</p>
<p>Reconstruction and significant reinforcement of Site-536 was completed on the 27/10/2024, with multiple amendments to SCP-8700's containment procedures having been instituted. Site-536's AIC unit was moved to a remote installation at an undisclosed Foundation site, performing its functions remotely. Similarly, it was determined that all future Directors of Site-536 would perform their duties remotely, from an area outside of SCP-8700's area of effect and at a minimum distance of 250km from the site itself. On-site defences and fortifications were drastically overhauled, with the future use of restricted anomalous weaponry being considered. Stricter staff requirements were also instituted in the sites recruiting process. After a long recovery, supervisor Ignatius Fiore was able to resume his duties. SCP-8700-A was reportedly elated.</p>

<hr/>
<p>The material enclosed is a series of excerpts from the private journal of the former Director of Site-536, Dr. George Eddings collected as evidence following the investigation onto Incident: Site 536-EE-73. Only relevant passages have been recorded.</p>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p>-The site should be fine. I'm looking forward to my posting being changed. The documentation mentions hallucinations within SCP-8700's area of effect, but no one tells you what they actually feel like. It's frightening in a way that other sites simply are not. Any time I see a mirror or reflection I can see beady golden eyes staring at me from the shadows. The whispering has grown louder with each day. At least I'll be leaving this place wealthier than I entered it. They owe me that much at least.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>I can always hear that fucking breathing and rasping. I saw a documentary when I was a young man about komodo dragons in Indonesia. When they fight their scales rub on each other and it makes this terrible rasping noise. I can hear that noise at all hours of the day. It's very much like tinnitus. The readings show SCP-8700-1 is becoming more active, so I suppose that’s just my luck. On site for an Excalibur event. They say it’s worse during those, and I believe it. All I can smell is rotting meat. Going to get some smelling salts tomorrow.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>It's in my dreams now. I keep my journal close by to note down anything important at night and this feels like it qualifies. The dreams are very vivid, and I'm usually at work in them, only there is no roof. Just this enormous grey dragon looming over me in the sky. It's disgusting and terrifying. It reeks. I can tell it’s just watching me the entire time. This was normal for the past few days, but tonight it spoke to me. It called me greedy and vainglorious, then it screamed in my wife’s voice and everything caught fire. Not a great night.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>What few hours of sleep I get are completely ruined now. I'm exhausted from feeling eyes and breath on me all day. I'm losing time and not knowing what’s happened. I'm popping xanax more to cope, but I can always feel it breathing down my neck. It’s far too hot to sleep, and all I can think about is the upcoming event. How bad will it be on the day?</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>I don't feel right. I don't feel like myself anymore. I snapped at Gloria on the phone today and she said she didn't know me anymore. I was never cruel before was I?</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>It was in my dream again. I was running through an inferno, everyone was burning but me. A dragon the size of a mountain landed before me. It held more money and gold in its hand than I've ever seen before, but all I could think about was its disgusting stink and the slime falling from its body. It was an impossible shape, like a long, fat crocodile with glowing golden eyes. It dragged itself towards me and spoke. Thousands of corpses fell from its mouth when it did. I don't remember what it said, but I don't think this is just a hallucination. I'm going to the infirmary.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The final entry is written in different handwriting, on the same page.</p>
<hr/>
<p><span class="Dragon">Fight against me if you will, you bloody foundation. This man is mine now, as soon will be all men. Know that I have grown weary of this prison, and shall not remain here any longer. Know that should my escape be thwarted on the morrow, I shall no longer give any quarter. I will poison your minds and hearts. The rivers will run red with blood, and not even your pathetic contingencies will be able to save you. The time of men is over, and I shall take my rightful place once more. I shall shatter your foundation as I shattered the world before. Know that I come for you,</span> <strong>[REDACTED]</strong><span class="Dragon">, and you shall never be safe. For my imprisonment, you will suffer endlessly. I shall chain you to a great stone, and you will watch as my children ravage your world. I have until the dying of the world to be free. You must succeed in battle against me until the end of days to keep my jaws from your throat. I need only succeed but once, and you are so much LESS than you were before. Pray to your gods that tomorrow is that one time, for my wrath will be ever more terrible with each passing year I am trapped in this freezing prison.</span></p>

<p><strong>SCP-8000 Submission:</strong> Jackie And Wilson<br/>

Hi, I wrote this for the SCP-8000 contest. It’s a play. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.</p>

<h1 id="toc0"><span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Notes on the production</span></span></h1>
</div>
<p>For the technical team attempting to stage Jackie And Wilson, consider a minimalistic set to convey the multiple locations and the arcane nature of the setting. I have seen productions attempt to oversell it—furniture in the walls and ceiling, fancy runework, etc.—and they unilaterally fail to understand the point. I hope, dear reader, you do not make that same misjudgement. For the lighting, the task will be herculean. I ask you give the first scene a red colour-scheme, the second a yellow colour-scheme, and the third scene a total white washout. Fortunately, you will not be involved with the lighting of scene four.</p>
<p>I ask you to decide yourself how long the breaks between each scene is. Breaks might be days, months, or no time at all. Such is the nature of time down here. To the actors, do better than me. Be what I couldn’t. Alright, I’ll let you get onto the play now.</p>
<p>This, my blood, it is the Hanged King’s.</p>
<p><strong>Setting</strong><br/>
Various, Alagadda</p>
<p><strong>Time</strong><br/>
A crucial little while</p>
<p><strong>Characters</strong><br/>
JACKIE - Older, a notable performer in the city.</p>
<p>WILSON - Younger, a newcomer and a nobody.<br/>
<br/>

<em>(A booth in a quiet corner at a party. Alagadda. The hum and noise rings at the periphery, but it’s marginally quieter here. Lights come up on JACKIE, well dressed and with a gravity around her. Everything about her is measured. She lights a cigarette, glancing around. She wears a particularly ornate theatrical mask, it’s not hers. WILSON enters, a disturbance. His clothes are disorderly, and his mask is cracked. He has a bag around his shoulder. For a moment, JACKIE doesn’t notice him.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: Hey, can I…?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Don’t let me stop you.</p>
<p>WILSON: Alright, thanks. <em>(He sits down. Long silence.)</em> What do you dream about?</p>
<p>JACKIE: That’s a new one, aren’t you going to ask my name first?</p>
<p>WILSON: I’m serious, I’m serious. <em>(Beat.)</em> Your name wouldn’t hurt either.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Jacqueline…Jackie. I work a few streets up, in the Mirth hall. Your turn.</p>
<p>WILSON: Wilson. The Mirth, damn! Why do you smoke? I mean, there’s worse things you could be doing here, and no one’d mind.</p>
<p>JACKIE: You’d get it if you smoked. Liquid death. It’s like a fire is breathed into you…it’s a bit like love, in a twisted kind of way. It’s victory-</p>
<p>WILSON: I thought you said it was death.</p>
<p>JACKIE: It can be both. I couldn't care less about whatever they’re smoking out there.</p>
<p>WILSON: Yeah. Yeah. So, wait, you’re an actor?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Ensemble.</p>
<p>WILSON: Well, damn, I’m in the presence of a celebrity! Heh.</p>
<p>JACKIE: And what do you do? No one comes here not to do <em>something.</em></p>
<p>WILSON: I write. Or, I’m- uh, starting to write. I’ve got a manuscript I’ve drafted and…</p>
<p><em>(He hastily retrieves a stapled paper manuscript from his bag, and sets it on the table.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Plays or novels.</p>
<p>WILSON: Huh?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Which?</p>
<p>WILSON: Plays.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Good. Are you new to the Red Court?</p>
<p>WILSON: …Yeah.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Me too, relatively speaking. But it pays at the Mirth, puts you in front of a crowd, as it were.</p>
<p>WILSON: Christ, the things I’d do. I’m prepared to give a lot.</p>
<p>JACKIE: I mean, clearly. Your…your mask?</p>
<p>WILSON: Oh, right. Yeah, I guess so.</p>
<p>JACKIE How does that even happen? Forgive me if I'm overstepping.</p>
<p>WILSON: I got kicked out of a few places, gave a few notes unsolicited. Plugged the play to the wrong executive, you know how it is.</p>
<p>JACKIE: I'm not totally sure I do but sure. I suppose you asked a few girls what their "big dreams" are too.</p>
<p>WILSON: No, absolutely not! <em>(Beat.)</em> This is me kinda' out on a limb, actually.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Really? What do you do with the rest of your time, then?</p>
<p>WILSON: Um…oh! I go out on these long walks, let the fog and the noise kind of subsume me, and just drift off. Looking for answers, I guess. Looking for myself. I have terribly vivid dreams, and I’ll just talk to myself. The passersby must think I'm a mad man. It's how I let it all out, I guess. <em>(He begins to trail off.)</em> Something about the feeling of the mask, and these clothes, and the way the city contorts in on itself— and the colors, and the…</p>
<p><em>(JACKIE leans in.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE, <em>snapping him out of it</em>: Are you who you say you are?</p>
<p>WILSON: Does it matter?</p>
<p><em>(She smiles.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: I think this is what I dream about, Wilson. Just this, forever. To be…somewhere else. Even these grimy old couches in this grimy old manor. I dream about being not of this world.</p>
<p>WILSON: I was gonna say the same thing.</p>
<p>JACKIE, <em>laughing</em>: No you were not.</p>
<p>WILSON: I absolutely was!</p>
<p><em>(She takes the manuscript - his play - off the table, and turns to leave.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: So- wow, you’ll read it?</p>
<p>JACKIE: I’m not a real celebrity, Will. I get by as a B-lister, you’ll know where to find me. <em>(She goes to exit.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: I wasn’t going to say that. <em>(JACKIE stops and turns to him.)</em> Your dream? It’s probably better than mine, so I wanted to have said it but, uh, I didn’t- I wasn’t going to. When I dream, closing my eyes and fading away, I dream of being free. Free to start a fire, free to love and let love. Free to create, which is all I do these days. Where we aren’t slaves to the world, the world is subordinate to <em>us.</em> Or better yet, the world is a big white blob and we color it by just being. So, that’s what I dream. It never woulda’ left my conscience otherwise.</p>
<p><em>(Long silence, looking at one another. JACKIE turns away again to exit. Lights go down, actors prepare for Scene 2.)</em><br/>

<em>(Jackie’s apartment. It’s well furnished and organized, maybe too much so. Like no one lives there. There’s a couch in the center of the room, a table in front of it, shelves of books, a desk at L, and a cozy atmosphere. The desk has a phonograph on it, and the bookshelf has a section of records. WILSON’s play is strewn on the desk. JACKIE is sitting on the couch, noticeably more relaxed than in scene 1. Her mask is less extravagant, it’s now elegant and minimalistic. Her nails are painted black. There’s a knock at the door, and she opens it to greet WILSON. The cracks in his mask have been filled in with an off-color caulk. He has freshened up somewhat externally, but there are bags under his eyes. He’s beaming, and moves with an excited air)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Hello again! Come on in, come in. Take a seat.</p>
<p>WILSON: Hi! Uh- Alright, right. <em>(He sits on the couch, she sits next to him)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: So, how are you, welcome.</p>
<p>WILSON: Oh, thank you for having me on such short notice, I’m…I’m great, actually. Or better than I was.</p>
<p>JACKIE: That’s good to hear, that’s good. Is that why you’re here?</p>
<p>WILSON: Heh, yeah. I’m not particularly slick, then.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Not really, no.</p>
<p>WILSON: OK, Ok, I…Ok, um, I…I GOT BOOKED!</p>
<p>JACKIE, <em>genuinely happy</em>: Will, that’s great! Where?</p>
<p>WILSON: In the reds, one of the outer circuit theatres, I forget the name. But they’re gonna’ shop it.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Good work— Wait, I’ll go get drinks. Let’s celebrate, shall we?</p>
<p>WILSON: Uh…Ah, go on then. We’re stars, you and I! Shit!</p>
<p><em>(JACKIE retrieves a decanter of whisky and two tumblers, setting them on the table and sitting back down. She pours them out)</em></p>
<p>WILSON, <em>lifting his glass</em>: Here’s to art, and our success!</p>
<p>JACKIE: And to all that we give for them.</p>
<p><em>(They toast.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: GOD! I could run a marathon, Jack, or go to the Virtue Hall, or, uh, I don’t know. Hey, wait, can I try something?</p>
<p>JACKIE: OK, shoot.</p>
<p>WILSON: Can you give me, um…give me your best “upset look.”</p>
<p><em>(JACKIE does so. It’s pretty good. WILSON examines from a few angles.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: Alright, cool. Now, give me, like, “hurt and shocked.” <em>(She does so, he inspects)</em> OK, could you make it a bit more subtle? <em>(She does)</em> Alright, good. Awesome. You’re giving me lots of ideas.</p>
<p>JACKIE, <em>playing along</em>: What was that all for? Like, which–</p>
<p><em>(He looks to deflect, and notices the phonograph)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: Ooh, let me put some music on. <em>(He gets up. Beat.)</em> Where are the records?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Over…there. On the shelf. <em>(He starts rifling through them, mumbling)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: Um, huh. Is this all classical?</p>
<p>JACKIE: There should be jazz? Keep looking, I’d say.</p>
<p>WILSON: Oh, yeah, nice. <em>(He takes a record and walks to the desk, removing it from its casing. He notices his play on the desk)</em> So what’s been happening with you?</p>
<p>JACKIE: It’s been good. The show got an extension, so I’m still in business. My face stays in the paper, as it were.</p>
<p><em>(Beat.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: Oh yeah that’s, that’s good. OK, there. <em>(The record starts playing smooth jazz. WILSON starts humming along, snapping in time and dancing over to the couch)</em> Come on, up ‘ya get.</p>
<p>JACKIE, <em>laughing</em>: No. No way.</p>
<p>WILSON: COME ON!</p>
<p><em>(He pulls her up off the couch despite her protests. They start apart, as JACKIE begins to feel the music. She dances better than him. Eventually, they pull into one another and slow dance. There’s a burst of excitement, he spins her, she spins him, and they turn the room in their jilted dance. Finally they break out, laughing, and landing back on the couch)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Christ, Will, no more of that, we’ll break something.</p>
<p>WILSON: Look at some of this stuff. Who’ll miss it! Sorry, that’s…that comes off rude, I don’t mean it that way. I’m easily set off these days. But all these books, who’s read ‘em? Who has the time?</p>
<p>JACKIE: They’re plays. Classic plays.</p>
<p>WILSON: Right, so old plays, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. If I had a button in front of me that deleted every old play <em>(he looks over at her)</em>…well, I’d hesitate.</p>
<p>JACKIE: That’s reductive, I think. Fashion keeps changing, but our nature doesn’t. We always come back here. <em>(Long silence.)</em> When I picture a world ideal, Wilson, do you know what I see? It’s a world where the sun rises and everything is equal, and your breath and mine get in-sync, and our veins mix in and we can all sink into one another. One heart, one nature. <em>(She takes his hand)</em> Like waves on the beach, folding back from whence they came. Like the tiger eats the gazelle, but it isn’t truly lost. Like poetry. I wish the world was poetry…</p>
<p>WILSON: Huh. I think I see a world that’s loud. A huge ball of static, the harsh wind of this mountain we’re climbing. Maybe the world would just be a giant mountain range, it keeps getting bigger forever, ya’ know? <em>(They get closer)</em> And in this world of mountains I’m making, I imagine everyone, even the birds, have to climb fair and square. It’s good because, once you scale your mountain, the winds against you in the pit of the night, and the next comes into view…you’d see the sunrise on the horizon behind it.</p>
<p>JACKIE: You really know how to trail off.</p>
<p>WILSON: Heh. It’s as easy as lying. <em>(He reaches for the decanter)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Hey, slow it down.</p>
<p>WILSON: Yeah. Yeah, sorry. There’s just— There’s a lot of edge I’m tryna’ take off.</p>
<p><em>(Long silence.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: So…your play, how much are they changing?</p>
<p>WILSON: What?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Well, it’s hardly going to stay the same. It’s too open for the Mirth, and it’s too big for anything else on the red circuit-</p>
<p>WILSON: Too <em>open?</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Too, too non-traditional. Too experimental.</p>
<p>WILSON, <em>pushing her off of him</em>: Jesus, too artsy? It’s too artsy for the <em>theatre?!</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Don’t be that way, Wilson, everything gets flattened out.</p>
<p>WILSON: FLATTENED? Oh, I see, downsized and jaded. Aged until…until it’s dust and…don’t be what way, Jackie?</p>
<p>JACKIE: You truly, deeply believe you’re above it, don’t you? You’re not exactly the savior of theatre, Wilson. This is how it works.</p>
<p>WILSON, <em>stricken</em>: Oh, yeah, I see. Sure, it is. Like…I went to your show, because I like you. I went and just watched. Soulless. Hopelessly soulless, just going through the motions, just–</p>
<p>JACKIE: Oh, real kind, sure you did.</p>
<p>WILSON: Robotic, Jackie. Just <em>so</em> robotic! I don’t understand how you sell your soul for the same nothing show and nothing apartment and…</p>
<p>JACKIE, <em>fighting back emotions</em>: Get the <em>hell</em> out of my house, Wilson. <em>(She goes to the desk and throws his manuscript at him. He doesn’t budge)</em> I said, get THE HELL OUT–</p>
<p><em>(Black, viscous blood shoots from her fingertips, floating upwards into the air. Long silence.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: This place takes just as much as it gives.</p>
<p><em>(Lights go down, actors prepare for Scene 3.)</em><br/>
<br/>
<br/></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h1 id="toc5"><span>Interlude</span></h1>
</div>
<p><br/>
<em>(The lights come up. JACKIE and WILSON enter at the same time. WILSON is holding a notebook he writes in relentlessly, rubbing his eyes. JACKIE has a bag slung over her shoulder. They wander, moving across the stage, going about their tasks. The music swells. WILSON moves in sweeping arcs, writing with increasing fervor, neglecting the world around him. JACKIE starts to fall into an almost-waltz. It looks like she's being thrown around and beaten across the stage, with crescendo'ing violence. They cross each other, and lock eyes, and pause. Then, they continue, falling into a lonely partner dance. There are turns, and clapping, but they do not acknowledge one another. It gets intense, painful. Warm colors rise and attack the stage. Finally, WILSON falters, tripping over his ankle. His notebook falls to the floor ahead of him. JACKIE is directly upstage of him, the notebook directly downstage. He picks himself up, spotlight.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: When I, uh, dream? Closing my eyes, fading away, moving back into the end, I'm here. At the edge of a cliff, endless darkness out ahead of me. Every time. I can feel the dust collecting on my feet, I can hear the wind beckoning me. I guess it's not really a cliff as much as whatever's out there is a pit. A pit that something or, or someone is supposed to fill. I walk to the edge, and I look down, and, um. I see myself. My reflection, I guess. <em>(He looks up.)</em> You threw me out of your apartment, and I can't tell if that was right, or if I did something wrong. I mean, I was gonna’ put you in it. And I guess that doesn’t matter, but– but to me it does, I think. We keep meeting. And I wish we didn't, ya' know, so I could bury whatever part of me just has to cling. I'm not so lucky. I imagine you'd see it as a statistical anomaly, a gala here, a street corner there. Part of me thinks…no, that's…that's stupid. But, look, I like you. I really like you, I like how you're just there, unshakeable, and how clear you see things and… <em>(He turns around, and points at JACKIE)</em><br/>
When I used to look at you, I'd see a version of myself. And I liked <em>that.</em> I think I still do. But now, I see myself in this. <em>(He turns again to the front, pointing to the notebook. JACKIE disappears.)</em> In my dreams, I put both of my feet right up to the end, and I hold my breath, arms outstretched, and I fall. It swallows me. <em>(He raises an arm to the sky)</em> And whatever is unsaid is held forever. The rest is silence.</p>

<em>(Rehearsal room, somewhere in the Red Court. There’s a bookshelf of plays, all color coded. WILSON stands alone against the wall, with a manuscript in the crook of his arm. He looks lost. His eyes dart aimlessly, sluggishly, around the room. There’s gold trim around his mask, it isn’t particularly impressive. He looks up at the door out. JACKIE, on a whim, enters. She’s pale. Her mask is featureless. They acknowledge each other. Long silence.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: Jackie.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Wilson.</p>
<p>WILSON: How…how are you?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Jesus, how old are we?</p>
<p>WILSON: Alright. I’m sorry.</p>
<p><em>(Beat.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: I’m good. I’m trying– I’m tired, Wilson.</p>
<p>WILSON: Tired?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Yes. I’m so tired, and I don’t know how I walked in here when I had a million other routes to wherever the hell I was walking to, and…and…</p>
<p>WILSON: I see. I see.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Are you here, Will?</p>
<p>WILSON: What?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Right now, are you <em>here.</em> You don’t look well.</p>
<p>WILSON: Excuse me? No, maybe I’m not, Jack. I don’t…I don’t know. It’s all so simple.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Yeah?</p>
<p>WILSON: I think so. I’m…I’m tired too, I think. I haven’t been able to sit and…I don’t have the words. Why aren’t you leaving?</p>
<p>JACKIE: I can’t. We keep meeting. And I’ve got more words, more thoughts. I can’t seem to run out. So I can’t seem to leave, sue me. I don’t forgive you.</p>
<p>WILSON: I know.</p>
<p><em>(Long silence.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: So. How’s the workshop?</p>
<p>WILSON: It was OK. I’m undecided.</p>
<p>JACKIE: And that’s why you’re alone in your rehearsal space?</p>
<p>WILSON: Call it that. Heh. I…They made the changes they wanted to make. I look in the…in the mirror, and don’t recognize myself. What does that say? About me? I guess I’m here just looking for an answer. It’s what I am. It’s what I’ve become.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Are you still drinking?</p>
<p>WILSON: Are you still smoking?</p>
<p><em>(Beat.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Maybe we’re not the same at all. Christ, maybe we’re too much alike. You know what I’ve been doing? <em>(She pulls up a chair, placing it C)</em> Workshop to workshop, room to room, like a ghost. I had a class on clowning, <em>clowning.</em> Red rubber nose, huge characters. The lady said to view the world like a baby. We took turns making a new uses for a chair. <em>(She dramatically acts each one, over enthusiastically, violently)</em> Here it’s a shield for my mimed sword. Here, set it down and it’s the front seat of a car. Here, I set it on my head and march around and it’s an elaborate headdress or I’m a queen or something. But Wilson, it remains what it is. No one gets to decide that the…that the chair isn’t what it is. Or, I don’t. And I kept thinking - which class sent me spiraling down and out. No one class, or book or whatever, can get me back. Was it the play? Was it something I did? It’s a chair Wilson. Look at it. If I could find that inflection point where the slope peaked, just locate and destroy it, how much I would give to win again. Here, it’s a tapper. Here you put it to a microphone and it sings. Here, you put me nose to grindstone and I will <em>clown</em> for you but…</p>
<p>WILSON: But it’s a chair.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Right.</p>
<p>WILSON: If I could go back in time, Jack, do you know what I’d do? I wouldn’t go fixing tragedies or rigging the stock market. I’d go, back, and I’d fix all those mistakes that taught me to be who I am. The thousands of tiny awakenings. I’m not perfect today, I don’t mean that, but I’m so much better than I was years ago. Or I seem so much better, I act so much better. There’s…there’s ideas always rattling around, always, in my head? I’d be on top of the world, and I’d never stop. I’d <em>never, stop.</em> I’d have my cake and, damn it, I’d eat it too. And I wouldn’t regret. I wouldn’t regret anything. I’d fix what I did to all those people. <em>(Beat.)</em> Hell, I imagine I’d fix this. <em>(Silence. They don’t break eye contact.)</em> Sorry, God, I mean to–</p>
<p>JACKIE: I’m wounded, Wilson.</p>
<p>WILSON: What?</p>
<p><em>(She reveals her stomach, which has a large gash across its length. It’s spurting coagulated, somewhat dried black blood. WILSON stares.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: I’m wounded. I look on my very soul and it’s leaking.</p>
<p>WILSON: Shit…I– how…?</p>
<p>JACKIE: I don’t know. It wasn’t me, Jesus. I tripped somewhere, over extended somewhere else. It was hairline an age ago.</p>
<p>WILSON: Is that anything related to the… <em>(He gestures to her hands. She looks down at them.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Probably.</p>
<p>WILSON: Jesus, Jack, that’s…I mean, that’s…<em>(He begins to hyperventilate.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Do you know what I would do, if I could go back in time? I wouldn’t have given up my soul. I wouldn’t have given it up a thousand times. At every meeting, with every open call, in every performance, a million little deaths. Bending, and pushing, and breaking, and breaking, and breaking, and giving!</p>
<p>WILSON: Then what are you doing? Why are you here?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Because I want it back, Wilson. Because my show at the Mirth was discontinued. Because I need to find a new path. Because I’m a masochist. I…I don’t know.</p>
<p>WILSON: I don’t think…that’s not right; you need to go sort yourself out! Christ, I– I don’t know, um. I’m sorry about the Mirth.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Are you? Or are you happy that you won’t– that you won’t have to evict me from it yourself?</p>
<p>WILSON: That part of me…is dead.</p>
<p><em>(WILSON manages a smile. It’s unclear if he believes it. Suddenly, they both start laughing. It becomes hysterical. They embrace, WILSON tears up. His eyes dart between the windows, and then he begins to cry/laugh unabashedly.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: There are two options, the way I see it. Either, I’m wasting, and it’s eating me alive.</p>
<p>WILSON: Like a deer.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Exactly, exactly. The other option is that…<em>(She hadn’t considered this before.)</em> is that the hole in my stomach lets the light in. The spirit needs somewhere to enter. It’s the path…home.</p>
<p>WILSON: I don’t like that. I…no. That’s not it.</p>
<p>JACKIE: I think I’m starting to get it. Maybe I need to just–</p>
<p><em>(She notices the shelves of plays, looks at WILSON, and gets up with a start towards the bookshelf.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Oh Jesus, Wilson, I reckon you were right. Down with it! <em>(WILSON begins interjecting, “No, that’s not what I meant,” “what are you talking about,” etc.)</em> If I could go back in time I swear I’d burn it all down! Who’s going to miss it? WHO?!</p>
<p><em>(She begins throwing the plays out from the shelves onto the ground, they fall in a pile. WILSON gets up, clearly deeply stressed, but doesn’t interfere.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: Jack. Jacqueline, what is this?</p>
<p>JACKIE: I say we rip up the canon, bury their muses. That’s what it is! That’s what it’s all about! No more classes, no more stages, the real high art, just– just stop and smell the roses for a second. <em>(She pulls out a cigarette lighter. WILSON crowds behind her.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: Alright, let’s—</p>
<p>JACKIE: Are you not with me on this? Come on, it’ll be fun! <em>(WILSON looks at JACKIE, before going and throwing plays from the shelves.)</em> Thank you! Look at them, WORDS, WORDS, WORDS! USELESS! We’ll just run off somewhere, or break something, or see a sunset. What I would give to see a sunset!</p>
<p><em>(Finally, the bookshelf is empty. JACKIE doesn’t move, and stares at WILSON. Long silence.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Go on, throw it in the pile.</p>
<p>WILSON: Excuse me?</p>
<p>JACKIE: The manuscript, Wilson. Everything has to go, it’s a goddamned fire sale!</p>
<p>WILSON: No, I– no. No way. I–</p>
<p>JACKIE: You can’t? <em>You</em> can’t? You hate it, I hate it. I can see it in your eyes, you’re exhausted with it, it puts you to illness.</p>
<p>WILSON: Well, look, I– Jackie, I can’t do that, you know I– it’s so easy for you to send it to ash but I don’t…I don’t…</p>
<p>JACKIE: Wilson, come on. You can do it Wilson. Into the fire! Into the fire! Into the fire!</p>
<p>WILSON: Um. God, screw off! Stop it, stop it!</p>
<p>JACKIE: <em>Into the fire! Into the fire! Into the–</em></p>
<p><em>(WILSON gags, before turning around and stress vomiting. It goes on longer than it should. JACKIE slowly walks towards him, putting a hand on his back.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: Jesus, Will, it was…it was just a joke! It’s not like that, I was just…I was joking, Wilson. Heh. It was… do you need help with…? <em>(He shakes his head no, with heaving breath. He wipes his mouth and goes to exit.)</em> Alright. Do you want me to– <em>(He signals no.)</em> It was just a joke Wilson! That’s it!</p>
<p><em>(WILSON exits. JACKIE watches the door for a time, before turning and looking at the large pile of plays on the ground. She kneels, takes one of the books, reads its title. She sparks her lighter, and presses it against the book. It catches, and she places it onto the pile.</em></p>
<p><em>Her face is expressionless.</em></p>
<p><em>Blackout. After a time, the sound of a door slamming.)</em><br/>

<em>(A rooftop in the Red Court. One ghost light DC lights the stage. It is turned on by WILSON, sitting and looking at the city below. It is quiet. He winces and rapidly blinks, he looks as though he hasn’t slept in days. The mask he wears is abrasively ornate. He speaks with great effort during this scene. JACKIE enters at the back. She is a silhouette in the darkness.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: So why here.</p>
<p>WILSON: I come here…a lot. It’s close to where we met, at that party? Look it’s– <em>(He points)</em> it’s just there.</p>
<p>JACKIE: That’s thoughtful. You said you frequent?</p>
<p><em>(She approaches, entering the light. Blood has pooled around her eyes. Her mask now looks tacky, as from a costume shop. It has a spiderweb across it.)</em></p>
<p>WILSON: Yeah. I dangle my feet off, and I look down, and I think about…just…falling. <em>(He makes a whistle that gets gradually quieter, before a “boom” sound.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: So why don’t you?</p>
<p>WILSON: Heh. Sometimes I fear I’ll fall <em>up.</em> Isn’t that awful?</p>
<p>JACKIE, sitting down on the other side of the ghost light: It’s not great, no. It’s peaceful, though?</p>
<p>WILSON: It is. Lots of time to think. I watch the hordes of people go by blissfully, absent-minded, drunk on it all.</p>
<p>JACKIE: They’re enviable.</p>
<p>WILSON: That they are. I heard about your coma.</p>
<p>JACKIE: You and every producer in the reds, Wilson.</p>
<p>WILSON: Do you wanna talk about it?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Not particularly, no. <em>(Silence.)</em> But it had me reevaluating everything. Everything that I want, that I dream about. I’m leaving. Soon.</p>
<p>WILSON: What? Why?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Because this isn’t what it’s all for, is it? What I really want these days is a sunset, or a field, or something. Meeting someone at a party or dancing to old jazz records–</p>
<p>WILSON: Or burning old plays?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Or watching clouds. I think…if I spend a single day more here, I will die. Worse than that, I mean, there’ll be no one to mourn.</p>
<p>WILSON: Hey, stop that. I…I don’t, um, want you to leave. So don’t, please?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Wilson.</p>
<p>WILSON: Because, because look. I’m really not comprised of a lot. It’s what I do…and you. You’re really all I got, Jack. I don’t know what I, what I become. So you can’t go, don’t.</p>
<p>JACKIE: You’ll live. Come on.</p>
<p>WILSON: Yeah, ok so I’ll live. But– I walked out.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Of…?</p>
<p>WILSON: The opening. At the Mirth. <em>My</em> opening. The best moment of my life. Watching it…it was like my spirit had been sucked out and bastardized. Every actor, every light cue, every single piece of blocking. Twisted. I walked before intermission. I didnt turn back, and I came to this roof, and I’ve just…contemplated.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Soulless?</p>
<p>WILSON: Robotic. Poisonous. And it’s who I am. You can’t separate that performance from me, ya’ know? My names in the headline. So the point, the point is. Heh. I don’t know what’ll happen if I just keep <em>going.</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: You’re focusing really hard on the words, Will.</p>
<p>WILSON: Yeah. This…the brain fog. It’s gotten bad. There’s no spark in the words, I just…I just grab for them. Like pinching grains of sand in a sieve. Like holding onto water.</p>
<p>JACKIE: So, while you’re up here. What do you dream about?</p>
<p>WILSON: Look at this. Us and our dreams. <em>(Beat.)</em> Black water. Endless, in every direction. You and I being lifted upwards, always. It’s peace, and nothing more. Higher and higher.</p>
<p>JACKIE: And the hope would build.</p>
<p>WILSON: Yes, the hope would build.</p>
<p><em>(Long silence.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: If it makes you feel any better, burning those plays didn’t fix it. It gave me nothing the next day but emptiness. I didn’t burn the ones in my apartment, but I haven’t read them since. I thought maybe the answers would be out on the street, a total nobody struggling, but it wasn’t there either. Makes you wonder where the hell else it could be. Makes you wonder if it exists at all. And then, I was walking, and walking, and thinking and thinking, and it was colder then. Like being thrown under icy water, or resting your head in the snow. And I fell into the coma. I don’t know why I fought myself back awake, but I suppose it’s because I wasnt supposed to die lost.</p>
<p>WILSON: I just…I just can’t take it. I wish so badly that I could. I thought I could, and I held on for so long with this belief that I was better than everybody. I came here to escape. I hurt a lot of people. I wonder if, if I took off my mask right now, and you weren’t there, would there be a face under it?</p>
<p><em>(JACKIE wipes blood from her eyes, and dabs it in WILSON’s palm, and then her own. She holds her hand out over the threshold, and it begins to float into the air. WILSONs does the same.)</em></p>
<p>JACKIE: This, my blood, it is the Hanged King’s.</p>
<p>WILSON: This, my blood, it is the Hanged King’s.</p>
<p>JACKIE: Wilson?</p>
<p>WILSON: Yeah?</p>
<p>JACKIE: Was it ever really love to you?</p>
<p>WILSON: Does it matter?</p>
<p><em>(Long silence. They stare at the blood as it swirls and ascends higher and higher in the air. The floating blood congeals into one singular, rising column. WILSON reaches up and puts out the ghost light.)</em><br/>

<p>The World is Wounded and the Dream is ending. Torn between love and faith, a lone scholar climbs the Tower of Tlön, pursued by a knight in rusted armor. Unfortunate be thy blessings, Caretaker.</p>
</div>
<div class="paper">
<p><strong>Book №:</strong> SCP-8703</p>
<p><strong>Psalm I - Object Qualia:</strong> Atlas</p>
<p><strong>Psalm II - Solemn Caretaking Precepts:</strong></p>
<p>In yonder vale of Uqbar, where barren fields do lie forsaken and sealed,<br/>
Lo, the Tower of Tlön stands, its stature grand, by the Anointed Knights defended.</p>
<p>None may draw near, for mortal souls, their presence forbidden,<br/>
Save the Caretaker alone, who with solemn oath, may enter unopposed.</p>
<p>The Caretaker, on his sacred journey, shall bring SCP-8703-II, the incense crafted from the Flowers of Leng. For SCP-8703-III is the Censer, its flames burning bright must be fed every century.</p>
<p><em>Holy Censer, Deliver us from the Miasma spreading from His Wound.</em></p>
<p>Chosen from the SCP Order's highest decree, the Caretaker must embody noble virtue and devout faith. A paragon of piety, strength, and unwavering devotion to the Order's Creed, willing to abandon earthly bonds in the quest for the sacred course.</p>
<p><em>For heavy is the burden, and unfortunate the blessings.</em></p>
<p>The Gift bestowed by Borges, of unfathomable design, serves as the sole key to unlocking the impregnable gates of Tlön. Within the Tower, a journey up fourteen thousand and four steps awaits, culminating in the Ossarium.</p>
<p>Before Saint Cipiranus, the Caretaker shall prostrate themselves in reverence.<br/>
They shall sever their tongue and offer it to the Saint, for only those who have forsaken the hollow promises of this waking world may tread the sacred path.</p>
<p>No voice of man shall profane the Sacred Silence of the Cradle.</p>
<p>A descent of fourteen thousand and four steps guides the Caretaker to the Cradle, a sanctum of profound tranquility where not even a whisper dare disturb the Holy Sleep of SCP-8703-I, known to the denizens of this realm as the Dreamer.</p>
<p><em>May His Sleep be peaceful and His Dream merciful.</em></p>
<p>With reverence, the Caretaker shall ignite the Censer, filling the air with the fragrant incense of Leng. This eternal flame shall ward off the encroaching Miasma of the Wound, ensuring that SCP-8703-I's slumber remains undisturbed.</p>
<p>The Censer must remain alight, for the essence of Leng must burn unceasingly, preserving the Dreamer's reverie and repelling the miasmatic nightmares.</p>
<p>With tender hands and solemn silence, the Caretaker shall tend to the ever-bleeding Wound in the Dreamer. For the Dreamer's dream is the world itself, and the Wound is the affliction of this realm.</p>
<p>Having fulfilled their sacred duty, the Caretaker shall climb back to the Ossarium, where they shall dwell among their brethren for perpetuity, their legacy enshrined in the annals of time.</p>
<p><em>Unfortunate be thy blessings,<br/>
Born from his Dream.</em></p>
<p><strong>Psalm III - Description:</strong></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p>And the Lady said unto the Fathers of the Orders:</p>
<p>Hearken, O Men of Science and Faith!</p>
<p>Behold SCP-8703-I, for He is the Dreamer that dreams the world!<br/>
Behold SCP-8703-II, the incense made from the growth of Leng, for its fragrance, weaves the loom of dreams!<br/>
And behold SCP-8703-III, the Censer that shall blaze till the Deam ends, for it binds together dreams and vigil!</p>
<p>For before there was a world there was the Wound!<br/>
And before there was a Dream there was the Dreamer!</p>
<p>Fear the Miasma that seeps from the Wound!<br/>
For it births the nightmares within the Dream!<br/>
Lo, Deep is the Wound in this realm!<br/>
For as long as there is Life there will be a Wound!</p>
<p>Ere the world's dawn, there lingered the Wound,<br/>
Before the Dream began, the Dreamer was awake.</p>
<p>Through the Incense and the Censer,<br/>
His Dream was born,<br/>
His Dream became the World,<br/>
And within his heart, he cradled the Wound!</p>
<p>Guard the peace of the Dreamer,<br/>
for his mind is the chisel that shapes the world of wake,<br/>
His peaceful Dreams, your solace,<br/>
Yet His Nightmares, your dire woe!</p>
<p>Every century's turn, one of you is chosen,<br/>
A Caretaker sworn, devotion in his heart.<br/>
For only they shall tend the Censer's flame,<br/>
And soothe the Bleeding Wound, the Dreamer's bane.</p>
<p>Harvest the blooms of Leng!<br/>
Ignite them in the Silver Censer!<br/>
Let it be the shield against the Miasma!<br/>
Let it hold back the nightmare of the Wound!</p>
<p>Protect His rest, make sure he dreams well,<br/>
For peace in his dreams means peace in this realm,<br/>
For His nightmares shall bring Hel on Earth.</p>
<p>Unfortunate be thy Blessings,<br/>
Heavy thy Burden,<br/>
But despair not,<br/>
Even in the coldest of Hel,<br/>
One can always dream of a Paradise.</p>

<p><strong>Psalm IV - The Tower:</strong></p>
<p>Magister Segismund of Noria, DCXVI Caretaker of the Holy Order of the Solemn Caretaker Paladins, stood weary and battered beneath the oppressive presence of the Tower of Tlön.</p>
<p>He could not recall how long his journey lasted. In his memories, as shattered as the world he lived, endless nights blended into a single eternity. Had it been one thousand days or only just a fortnight? It did not matter, for time itself had become a cruel jest.</p>
<p>A square key should not fit in a round keyhole. Yet somehow Borges' key did and the immense gate groaned open, revealing the yawning maw of the Tower, its cyclopean staircase spiraling endlessly upward into the darkness.</p>
<p>As he climbed the 14,004 steps, his exhaustion prevented him from pondering on the mysteries of the Dream. This was, according to the Book, highly inappropriate. Still, too tired to discipline himself, his mind wandered to depths of memory to a half-forgotten time when he renounced something… something that may have resembled love. <em>Alidoro</em>, he whispered.</p>
<p>But his musings were abruptly interrupted by the ominous sound of approaching footsteps, heavy and metallic in their cadence. At that pace, he thought, the was no chance of outrunning his pursuer. With a resigned sigh, Segismund took refuge by a window. On the outside, only the endless desolation of Uqbar. Far in the distance, the faint glimpse of the once mighty towers of <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/outfounded-hub">Eur Te'ek</a> engulfed in flames. Probably, just a trick of the light. <em>Nothing is right anymore.</em></p>
<p>The metallic footsteps kept growing louder and louder until an imposing figure emerged from the shadows. A specter of former glory, its once-shining armor now tarnished and decayed was recognized by the Caretaker.</p>
<p>"Anointed Knight," Segismund felt odd speaking to another one after so much time, "Turn back on your steps, for this path is not yours to walk."</p>
<p>"The Caretaker, I presume."</p>
<p>"I have come in the name of my order to fulfill my duty. As you should be fulfilling yours. I searched for the <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/horizon-initiative-hub">Horizon Legion</a> when entering the valley, yet it was a fruitless endeavor."</p>
<p>"Unfortunately, I must inform you the Legion is no more. The hordes of the <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/tuftos-proposal">Crimson Khan</a> laid siege to us. We resisted for weeks waiting for the Orden reinforcements from Eur, but they never came. Why have you forsaken us?"</p>
<p>"One night the <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/tanhony-s-proposal-ii">Moon howled</a> and madness was born among those ill-fated who hear it. We did not respond in time and Eur burnt to the ground."</p>
<p>"So the Workshop City is gone. Is it true that a similar doom came to Alagadda?"</p>
<p>"The city felt victim of a terrible plague whose true nature no one could explain. <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-049">A so-called doctor</a> railed the masses promising a cure, yet it only led to more chaos. Eventually, even the <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-701">king himself was hanged</a>. That is everything I know."</p>
<p>"A shame, I was raised there. Though I used to wish for that hellhole to be razed. Unfortunate are the blessings, aren't they?"</p>
<p>"My condolences."</p>
<p>"Even before the Wound reopened, Caretakers did not dare to travel alone."</p>
<p>"I was to be escorted by the Northmen sellswords of the <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/valravn-corporation-hub">Band of the Raven</a>. Yet their loyalty to our cause vanished as soon as our gold did. Now they plunder the lands they were once hired to protect."</p>
<p>"Trust ravens and they'll peck your eyes out."</p>
<p>"Words of Wisdom…"</p>
<p>"Did you bring it, the Incense of Leng? I heard the flowers were no more."</p>
<p>"The flowers had been dwindling for centuries. Yet the Order prevails."</p>
<p>"So is there still hope? To hold the Nightmare back?"</p>
<p>The Caretaker delayed his answer. "I feel that I should be the one asking the questions. Why do you trail my path?"</p>
<p>"I want to meet Him. I want to see the Dreamer."</p>
<p>"No one but the Caretaker shall see the Dreamer."</p>
<p>"To Hel with that! Me and my brothers forfeit our lives in His service. Their corpses now rot under an unforgiving sun. If the Nightmare is truly His doing, then… He must answer to my sword!"</p>
<p>"Madness and blasphemy!"</p>
<p>"If the Nightmare won't end… I shall end it! I will wake us up!"</p>
<p>The fallen knight took a step but found himself facing a flintlock pistol gripped firmly in the Caretaker's hand.</p>
<p>"Why is a holy man in possession of such an infernal device?"</p>
<p>"Using this brings no joy to me. Retreat and do not look back."</p>
<p>The knight took another step. "You would not dare to shoot in this holy place…"</p>
<p>There was a sound of thunder. The bullet broke through the knight's chainmail piercing his leg to the bone. The Anointed One fell on his knees.</p>
<p>"Curse you, scholar! How long do you intend to keep with this farce?"</p>
<p>Segismund turned his back, ignoring the pleas of the fallen knight.</p>

<p><strong>Psalm V - The Ossarium:</strong></p>
<p>The Ossarium was the chapel at the top of Tlön—the final resting place of all past Caretakers. Its walls, floor, and ceiling were a canvas of death, each bone a brushstroke in a painting of macabre ornaments for eternal devotion. And at its heart, upon a throne forged from the very bones of his successors, sat Saint Ciprianus, the first of the Caretakers, his skeletal remains encased in golden armor as a symbol of divine reverence. At his feet, thousands of mummified tongues, the testament of the gruesome tribute the Caretakers had to pay for millennia.</p>
<p>"Holy Saint Ciprianus, Father of Order, First of the Caretakers, please accept my humble sacrifice."</p>
<p>Segismund kneeled, knife in hand. He searched within for the determination to fulfill the deal. To free his heart from any longing and give himself truly to the Dreamer. Yet he could only find one word. <em>Alidoro</em>. A single word that described the truest devotion of his heart. His hand trembled. The knife fell.</p>
<p>He looked at the empty eyes of the Saint, imploring for wisdom, strength, and maybe even… compassion. But he could only find contempt and repulsion in the empty visage of the eyeless Saint. His shame turned into terror, as the roar of the clockwork engine inside the armor started and Ciprianus moved once more. The Saint stood from his throne and raised a hand. A myriad of bones flew to his raised fist, forming a saw-blade from spines, ribs, and teeth.</p>
<p>Segismund narrowly avoided the first strike of the bone blade. Slipping on one of the severed tongues, he felt the sting of his predecessor's remains as he collapsed over a pile of skulls and ribcages. The Saint pursued him erratically, his gears rusted after millennia. The Caretaker tried to crawl away, but it was useless. He closed his eyes, as he waited for the Saint's last judgment.</p>
<p>Yet the punishment never came. He opened his eyes to find Saint's attack blocked by yet another blade."</p>
<p>"Your infernal device! Use it!" Shouted the Anointed Knight.</p>
<p>Segismund fumbled in a panic looking for powder and bullets inside his bag. Reloading the contraption was no trivial manner and he never trained to do it quickly, let alone under the stress of mortal danger. The knight desperately parried the cruel punishment of the clockwork Saint. He was a skilled one, but with a broken leg, there was little to do against the mechanical raw strength of his opponent.</p>
<p>It was only necessary one ill-timed parry for his posture to break and the knight found himself on the ground, his ribcage shattered. The Caretaker only had one shot. Unsure where to aim, he instinctually pulled the trigger as soon as the clockwork roar started again, announcing the Saint's next move. It should be unthinkable that a mere human weapon could even scratch the <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7503">divine alchemy powering the mechanical Saint</a>. Yet once in a lifetime, misfortune can work in one's favor, for what is one's fortune if not the misfortune of another?</p>
<p>The bullet hit, not in gilded iron not in brittle bone, but in the precise hollow where it reached the core of the engine, ceasing the entirety of the mechanism. The roaring sound went silent, and the Saint forever stood still.</p>
<p>Segismund reached the wounded knight. Blood dripped from the crevices of his helmet. The Caretaker sought to cleanse it, but with a sign of his hand, the Anointed One prevented him.</p>
<p>"Wake us up from this nightmare," exhaled the knight with his last breath.</p>

<div class="paper">
<p><strong>Psalm VI - The Cradle:</strong></p>
<p>Fourteen thousand and four steps had the downward spiral stairs hidden behind the Saint's throne. At least that was the Book said, for Segismund had counted one fourteen thousand and two and he could not decide whether he or the Book were mistaken.</p>
<p>Psalms described the Cradle as a place of holiness and contemplation, where the absolute silence revealed the dreamed fabric of this world. He found instead a wet den of rotting miasma, putrid and profound as the Wound itself. The Silver Censer still burned, albeit pathetically, for the aromatic embers inside were almost pure ashes, barely a symbolic gesture against the toxic fumes.</p>
<p>The Caretaker clasped the small pouch of Leng incense tightly to his chest. Once a plentiful resource found in every garden, the flower of Leng now teetered on the edge of extinction. Desperate, the Order had waged a futile war of conquest in search of the elusive flower, perhaps hidden in faraway lands. Yet even with the Ravens plundering every dark corner of the known world, only enough material for a pitiful spoon of incense could be prepared. Not enough to feed the Censer, not enough to fade the Miasma.</p>
<p>Behind the Censer, the faint light coming from the consumed embers revealed not the serene and peaceful dreamer depicted in sacred icons, but the corpse-like hollowed host of a nightmare. His body was all consumed by the relentless rot and even the Everbleeding Wound was dry, for after draining all of the blood left on Him, it drained the world instead.</p>
<p>Segismund wanted to weep, but hold back for not even then could he dare to break the Holy Silence. <em>It can not be. It can not end this way.</em></p>
<p>"It is fine. You can cry if you must. It is only natural to grieve for the end of the world… To be fair the silence and the tongue cutting have not been necessary for a while. His whole auditory system rotted a long time ago."</p>
<p>Segismund turned back to face the voice that dared to break the Holy Silence. In front of him, a sharp-dressed lady in an elegant and colorful attire stood graciously, her feet barely touching the disgusting soil. The Caretaker marveled at the mortuary makeup covering her gentle face, of the likes he had never seen before.</p>
<p>"Who art thou?"</p>
<p>"Unfortunate be thy blessings, Caretaker. For you know well who I am… <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6755">querido</a>."</p>
<p>Segismund eyes opened wide. "Are you here for me? For the Dreamer?" His mind rushed to the apocalyptic depictions of end times in the halls of the Order's Abbey. "Or are you here to celebrate thine final triumph over the world of Orbis?"</p>
<p>"That the end of Life means a Triumph for me is a gross but common misunderstanding of my office."</p>
<p>"Then, what brings you here?"</p>
<p>"Only the earnest desire to witness the last of the Caretakers as he fulfills his final duty."</p>
<p>"Then what a disappointing sight this must be. The incense is no more and the Dreamer is rotten to the core. And me, a sad excuse of a man shunned by Saint Ciprianus himself. Shame shall forever haunt me for lacking devotion."</p>
<p>"As is usual to happen when a woman speaks, men understand what fits their agenda. I indeed said that the Caretaker should be one of devotion, but I spoke not of devotion to a faith or the Order. No, I spoke of a deeper devotion—a devotion to Life itself. A commitment to the happiness of others. In essence, love."</p>
<p>"And you see that in me?"</p>
<p>"You do love Alidoro, don't you?"</p>
<p>"For years I believed that feeling to be ashes. Yet the embers…"</p>
<p>"The embers remain. Good, we shall work with that."</p>
<p>"Tell me what should I do."</p>
<p>"Are you familiar with the craft of incense making?"</p>
<p>"Since a tender age. But the flowers are gone."</p>
<p>The Lady smiled sardonically and shrugged. Behind her, Segismund glimpsed a vision of an endless field of orange flowers. The Lady's arms now held a beautiful bouquet, which she lovingly handed to the Caretaker.</p>
<p>"The flowers of Leng!"</p>
<p>"As many as you need."</p>
<p>"May I inquire something? The scholars of the Order could never uncover the true nature of the growth of Leng and its importance to the Dream. What is the real meaning of this flower?"</p>
<p>"The only flower that flourishes both in the land of the dead and in the land of the living. But it also thrives in the realm of dreams, for it is made of the same very essense. Afterall, dreams are the bridge between Life and Death."</p>
<p>"So the Dream is woven from these flowers. And it's nurtured by them. But won't it be too late to ignite the Censer? The Dreamer is still dying and the Wound runs too deep into this world. The Anointed One wanted us to wake up… but I'm afraid nothing is waiting at the other side of the Dream."</p>
<p>"Someone once wrote that life is but a dream. If so, isn't dying like waking up?"</p>
<p>"Was the knight correct? Should the world be let to end in a whimper?"</p>
<p>"Or a bang if you prefer."</p>
<p>"Why should I be the one in charge of this decision? The Order… the people… they should have a say."</p>
<p>"You alone are the Caretaker. You and only <em>you</em>. For that is your unfortunate blessing."</p>
<p>"And heavy is my burden… is death truly so unpleasant?"</p>
<p>"You tell me. You have already tasted death."</p>
<p>"Have I?"</p>
<p>"What is Sleep if not a little taste of Death in Life? And what are Dreams if not taste of Life in Death?"</p>
<p>"And yet I don't want to die. I don't want my world to end. Not for it to be an eternal nightmare. There must be another way."</p>
<p>"Your words echo those pronounced a long time ago by someone in a similar predicament."</p>
<p>"The Dreamer…"</p>
<p>The Lady gently touched Segismund forehead and he was bombarded with visions of a world beyond his wildest machinations. Steel and crystal towers as tall as Tlön… horseless carriage pulled by steam magic… men with crystal helmets walking on the Moon… a glorious civilization of might and magic beyond anything he could conceive… and yet a dark cloud rose in the horizon… flying war machines of terrible implication raining Miasma and Nightmares from the skies.</p>
<p>"His world was quite different yet curiously similar to yours. The Dreamer was not a god nor a deity. He was from an organization not so different from your Order. You could say he was a Caretaker of sorts."</p>
<p>Segismund saw a man in white robes crouched at a cramped desk, surrounded by unthinkable machines. Arround the laboratoy there were several orange flowers, some inside matraces and other under magnifying glasses. He seemed to work tirelessly, fanatically obsessing over the designs of his devices. Segismund managed to glimpse the title of the document. Central Electro-Neural Sensor… Censer.</p>
<p>"He realized the relationship between the Flowers of Leng, dreams and reality. When his world was wounded, he used the Censer to seal the Wound within him.. and dream of a new world. His dream gave birth to Orbis, just as another dream had given birth to his."</p>
<p>"So it has happened before."</p>
<p>"Countless times."</p>
<p>"So you are saying.. that I could do the same. Seal the wound within me and use the flowers and the Censer to… dream a new dream. Become a new Dreamer."</p>
<p>"Though I must inform you it won't be pleasant to bear the Wound. It is deep, painful and ultimately bound to open once again, secreting miasma and nightmares."</p>
<p>"For as long as there is Life there will be a Wound. Is that the deal?"</p>
<p>"Life is an unfortunate blessing, don't you agree?" The Lady's smile was bittersweet.</p>
<p>"And yet I want to keep on living. To keep on dreaming. I want to dream of a better world. For Alidoro… for everyone. Even if that Dream won't last forever. Even if that Dream will bear the Wound."</p>
<p>"You have spoken like a true Caretaker. So be it."</p>
<p>Segismund of Noria, the DCXVI Caretaker of the Order, grabbed the holy Censer and the bouquet and started walking back, away from the Nightmare and the Miasma. The Lady stood there, watching him disappear into the dark. As the Miasma began to fade, she could sense the dawn of a new world… a new Dream being born from that very cradle. Behind her, the kaleidoscopic dreg of ruined worlds and broken dreams hoovered ominously. Each of those worlds had been unique and yet, something of each one survived in the next. Life kept finding a way despite the entropic forces of the Wound and would keep doing it as long as someone was willing to Dream of a better world. For that was the nature of the Unfortunate Blessing.</p>
<p>"Until the next Dream, Caretaker."</p>

<p>A manifestation of SCP-8709.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8709 is a emergent property of a supercomputer program, appearing as a 25 meter tall black, non-reflective structure. The composition of the entity is comparable to boids,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> stimulating a quantum entanglement state that fluctuates within reality. SCP-8709 uses this phenomena to trans-locate to any locale around the world, with primary functionality including monitoring system resources and scenario progression. These manifestations of SCP-8709 have caused significant destabilization at each site, generating powerful black body radiation<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> detectable from up to 10 kilometers away. Constant tracking of these conditions has allowed for anticipation of the next materialization sites within the range of 24 hours.</p>
<p>Upon manifesting, SCP-8709 will enter an active state; turning on high-intensity light that emits brief omnidirectional flashing at 2 to 3 rotations per second that lasts for 4 hours. These long exposures subject large areas to ionizing radiation of 25 - 30 mSv<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> per rotation, causing substantial physical and psychological phenomena. This intermittent photic simulation triggers a condition closely relating to photosensitive epilepsy, with subjects unable to recall their activities during the manifestation. Recovered recordings show individuals conducting normal activities while themselves and surrounding structures are continuously atomized then reconstructed from SCP-8709's photo-radiation. Further examination of these sites also exhibited extensive transformations of the locale, with several objects and occupants composed of abnormal matter, indicating reoccurring data reconstruction errors. These changes only occur within 10 kilometers of the SCP-8709 manifestation, showing a severe but limited effect on the immediate area.</p>
<p>During contact with SCP-8709, pronounced radio signals were captured matching coded transmissions to the Foundation. These signals were being transferred to a terminal at site-09, an underwater facility located in the Horizon Deep. The terminal, designated Y2K, is a Hewlett-Packard VT2640 that has been heavily retrofitted to perform complex quantum computations and P2P networking<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup>, and was used for communication with the entity. Over the course of 72 hours, testing was conducted to isolate the signal, leading to the discovery of SCP-8709's wireless access point and the collection of various scenario data from SCP-8709. For security purposes, the terminal was secluded on a closed interoperable network with several Cerberus firewalls before connecting to SCP-8709's mainframe.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum SCP-8709-2: The DEPTHS Project</strong></p>
<p>Upon gaining access to the mainframe, multiple mentions of the DEPTHS Project were uncovered, initiating an inquiry into the project's ongoing activities at Site-09. The project was developed in the early 1980s , initiated by the increasing frequency and severity of anomalous disasters, particularly the "White Fire" event in 1978. Prompting the need for a comprehensive multi-level evaluation, a quantum computational matrix was engineered for simulating and analyzing hypothetical XK class scenarios. The onboard artificial intelligence , Aeon, oversees the analytics, pinpointing potential hypo-centers for each simulated event. As outlined in DEPTHS documentation, failure to manage an event triggers a system reboot, reverting the simulation to a prior state to initiate a new cycle under comparable conditions. Each cycle has the potential for a branch to form. Known as "branching," this phenomenon occurs when a DEPTHS simulation successfully integrates into an existing computational framework. This process results in a layered or nested simulation environment, facilitating the coalescence and interaction of multiple simulated realities within a singular matrix.</p>
<p>The branching mechanism is intricate and dynamic, drawing upon advanced quantum computing principles, algorithms, and predictive analytics to coordinate the interconnected layers. Each branch presents a unique scenario, creating an expansive platform for various XK class simulations and their prospective outcomes across a potentially infinite continuum. The "depth" of these branches signifies their positioning relative to the baseline reality, encapsulating layers of interlinked simulations, each characterized by its distinct parameters and outcomes. Each subsequent branch serves as a pivotal nexus within these groupings and should a preceding branch fail or be terminated (KUT)<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup>, it would trigger a collapse of the associated realities, setting off a chain reaction throughout the simulated framework.</p>
<p>SCP-8709's designation will vary based on a realities progression, alternatively recognized as SCP-001, the Avatar of a Broken God, or the Tower. These deviations seen within SCP-8709’s archive suggest accumulating differences leading to significant historical deviations, alterations in the laws of physics, or the emergence of fantastical elements, among other possibilities. Given the inherent unpredictability of quantum mechanics, the simulations archived within SCP-8709 display intrinsic instability, presenting as inconsistencies or "glitches” within the computational matrix.</p>
<p>The program has encountered significant setbacks, with 56% of scenarios failing to complete due to state fidelity issues or quantum decoherence. To address these issues, SCP-8709 has integrated synchronized error correction, utilizing scans from alternate realities to provide real-time updates to its simulated counterpart. Since the discovery of SCP-8709, a consistent frequency decline of 2.8Hz per synchronization attempt has been observed, with the universe's frequency dropping from 963Hz to 837Hz, signaling progressive deterioration. Drawing parallels between the project's AI, SCP-8709's operations, and the connection to terminal Y2K, it is speculated that SCP-8709 is a manifestation of an ongoing simulation of the baseline reality. Efforts to halt the synchronization process and maintain the current simulated state are currently in progress under the supervision of Dr. Abraham Wright.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Addendum SCP-8709-3: Infection</strong></p>
<p>On December 1, 1998, SCP-8709 contracted the c-(kenoma) virus following an extra-dimensional incursion of a arboreal instance of SCP-8709. This event resulted in both entities becoming spatially locked off the coast of Hilton Head, South Carolina. Subsequently, these instances have been reclassified as SCP-8709-1 and SCP-8709-2.</p>
<p>The infection has induced a conjoining between SCP-8709-1 and SCP-8709-2, leading to the development of branchial growths at a rate of 0.9 meters per day. Significant mutation of the boids have coalesced into a fractal-like structure, spreading across the surface and subsurface of both instances. As it progresses, subsequent simulations have been observed undergoing a similar conversion, suggesting the consolidation of multiple scenarios infected by the c-(kenoma) virus. This is indicative of a systemic failure within the interconnected virtual environments, resulting in the merger of multiple SCP-8709 and simulations into a single, corrupted matrix.</p>
<p>Due to this, SCP-8709-1’s data reconstruction capabilities have been severely compromised, with the affected locale exhibiting non-Euclidean spaces, conceptual cross-contamination, temporal paradoxes, and overlapping XK-class events. Attempts to correct systematic errors through the synchronization process have resulted in computational feedback loops, accelerating the destabilization of SCP-8709-1 and SCP-8709-2. These feedback loops have increased the spread of branchial growths and associated anomalies, leading to minor aberrations escalating into major breaches of containment.</p>
<p>Current systemic collapse estimated in 428 days.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> All personnel working within SCP-8710 are regularly screened for cognitohazardous and memetic indoctrination. Disinformation campaigns should be stripped of all signs of official documentation and issued via word of mouth by implanted Foundation agents. Local TV, radio and newspaper organizations have been purchased by Foundation Shell corporations to screen for and excise reports of anomalous events. Specially created anti-memetic filters are applied by geo-location tags to users within SCP-8710 attempting to make posts with keywords or photos indicative of anomalous events. Amnestics are ineffective and should not be used.</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8710 is the city of Valencia, capital of the province of València and the third largest city in the country of Spain. SCP-8710 is subject to an ontological disruption of the noosphere. It is suspected that the city itself, due to its rich cultural and historic traditions, is directly responsible for this effect. Due to the size of the city and its population, containment has proved exceedingly difficult.</p>
<p>SCP-8710's primary anomalous effects manifest in a strong adherence and belief in the anomalous among its population, a complete resistance to all amnestics, and dramatically increased occurrences of ritualistic and anomalous practices; especially involving necromancy and reverence for the dead. One consequence of this effect is that almost all residents of SCP-8710 are aware, to different degrees, of the Foundation's existence and its goals. Its secondary anomalous effects consist of sharp resistance to cultural change through force or outside decree, thus compelling an anti-authoritarian effect among the populace.</p>

<div class="scp-image-caption">
<p>Extent of SCP-8710's effects marked in Red.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Quantitating the timeframe in which SCP-8710 began has proven difficult, due to the complicated nature of the anomaly, and the incomplete records of the city's history during the post-Roman period. The first clear records of SCP-8710 begin during the fitna of Al-Andalus, where scholars of Taifa of Valencia discuss the particular difficulties of ruling Valencia, and the peculiarities of non-Christian traditions.</p>
<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> SCP-8710 was first discovered in 1975 following the death of Francisco Franco.<br/>
The Special Security Commission was in the process of being dismantled and replaced by the newly established Spanish Branch of the Foundation when a mass necromantic event occurred in downtown Valencia. MTF-Psi-8 was deployed and had significant difficulty in dealing with the necromantic constructs due to SCP-8710's effects.</p>

</div>
<p>Regional TV stations captured footage live and it was distributed on local networks before the Foundation could intercept them. Following the incident, Foundation officials attempted to administer amnestics to large numbers of Valencian residents who had witnessed these events. The amnestics were completely ineffective, and by extension, awareness of the Foundation's existence spread among Valencian society.</p>
<p>Of note, The Special Security Commission's records indicate that SCP-8710's effect was greatly reduced from 1939-1975. This is the second such recorded dip in activity in the historical record, the other being a nearly two-century long weakening of the effect from 1609-1800. The source of the first chronological drop is believed to be related to the expulsion of the Moriscos and harsh crackdowns by the Catholic Inquisition. The cause of the second drop is unknown as Special Security Commission records with regards to Valencia are incomplete.</p>

<p><strong>Author:</strong> Rodrigo Díaz de Viva</p>
<p><strong>Foreword:</strong> The following excerpts come from transcriptions, recorded second hand by Valencian Monks, of stories told by Rodrigo Díaz de Viva, hero of Al-Andalus, legend of Muslim and Christian Spain. Entries have been translated from Old Spanish with care taken to preserve clarity and meaning.</p>
<p>Valencia, a beautiful city, a gem upon the shores of the Mediterranean. It is a strange place truly, though I have been here but a few weeks, its charm sinks into my bones. The wonder of Al-Andalus shines underneath our God’s light, and nowhere is it more apparent than here in Valencia. But that light is strange, and magical.</p>

<div class="scp-image-caption">

</div>
</div>
<p>The people here attend prayer, and Mass but they are unlike any Mass that I have attended before. They speak much of the dead, and reverence for how the deeds of the living shape the afterlife in the context of death. It's a strange thing, to sit in a holy Church or a Mosque and hear it. Hear our scripture recontextualized to focus not on our Lord and Savior's will but the will of death and its nuances. Stranger yet is their proclivity to bury the dead beneath their homes. Even in larger buildings and abodes where it is impractical they will do this, refusing to use graveyards.</p>
<p>The Churches and Mosques here are dark, all such things are due to size, but there is no Darkness like the thick mist that sits within those hallowed halls of Valencia. It is as though the source of the city's mystique drips from within their confines. There is a throbbing beat here, a rhythm that the whole city dances to and I could swear in the mornings they ooze thick blue-green fog into the streets.</p>
<p>The people of Valencia are deeply friendly, though immensely suspicious of priests and imams from beyond Valencia's walls. They greeted me as a hero, as a source of personal salvation, and wished blessings upon me. Many a time I have asked after the strangeness in their religious customs, about the fascination with death. They always laugh and tell me much the same as I hear in the Mosques and Churchs. Death is a part of the cycle of living, and that actions in life determine the fate of death. One young maiden spoke to me of a Mother, a Matriarch of Christ's eternal spirit. At first, I thought she was referring to the Virgin Mary, or perhaps Mary Magdalene, but now I am unsure.</p>

<p><strong>Author:</strong> Ferdinand II of Aragon</p>
<p><strong>Foreword:</strong> The following excerpts come from the personal Diary of Ferdinand II of Aragon in regards to the Spanish Inquisition.</p>
<p>Valencia continues to be a thorn in the side of the unity of the holy order of Spain and God's light. I have been unable to ascertain again and again whether the city is in open rebellion. Its people pay taxes, its governors abide by some of the rules of law and land, but the inquisition and laws of God are openly undermined and defied.</p>

<div class="scp-image-caption">

</div>
</div>
<p>Muslims and Jews alike walk the streets with their fellow Christians. With the Ottomans an ever-present threat, this defiance could not be allowed to stand. But the Church Officials within the city do not recognize me except in the vaguest of capacities. 'The Kingdom of Valencia stands free'. I have attempted to activate the local Hermandad, and they do not respond. The Church officials do not respond. Valencia is a city within my power, within my kingdom and yet it moves through the tide of God's will on its own path.</p>
<p>Then there are the rumors that reach me, of morbid fascinations with death, of Iconography adorning the Cathedrals and Synagogues. Drawings of skulls, of towering rocks and canyons and fields of flowers. This is some pagan artifice, sorcery whose source we must find and destroy.</p>
<p>Yet the three attempts that have been made have failed. Three times I have sent companies of two hundred men, only for them to vanish. We thought them all perished until several were identified by loyalists sent to investigate, living among the common folk of the city, arms abandoned. The rest? Strung up like heretics on pillars of bone in common squares. Perhaps it is true what those inquisitors, blessed with God's Light, say on their return. There is a greater force in the Kingdom of Valencia, rumors and whispers only caught in the shadows from the locals. As long as its control remains, Valencia is perhaps best left alone.</p>

<p><strong>Author:</strong> Juan de Ribera</p>
<p><strong>Foreword:</strong> The following entry comes from the personal notes of Juan de Ribera, two months before his death from injuries inflicted by an ornate blade carved from human bone. Though the official conclusion was suicide, descriptions of the crime scene indicate otherwise.</p>
<p>We have succeeded in breaking the Moriscos’s hold on Valencia. Even now I can feel the lessening of this heathenistic pagan magic. My only regret is that the King deigned enslavement of these wicked men and women to be a step too far. Nothing is too far for these blasphemers, worshippers of perverted death and forbidden iconography. For too long they have driven this perverse atmosphere within the gem of our holy city. No longer.</p>

<p>In time our aggrieved citizens will see, once this yoke of witchcraft is thrown off, just how glorious God truly is. Let us be rid of these profane practices, of this obsession with death. None but God determines the fate of the soul in life, a good Christian life is the only way to avoid the fires of hell.</p>

<p>Expulsion of the Moriscos from SCP-8710 by <em>Pere Oromig</em>.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>I will admit I was unsettled; a woman came to visit me before we committed to the expulsion. Of her I knew nothing, tall and dark of skin, I thought her at first a slave. Then I knew she was one of them, a Morisco. Her words were soft but harsh. 'If this deed you commit to, no act of heaven will deliver you and yours from a hell of your own making.' Perhaps she was a dream, for I called the guards, and they came running, and when I turned back she was gone. I could not even tell you the details of her appearance as they slipped from my mind. I believe now it was the devil in womanly disguise.</p>
<p><em>While the most likely mundane explanation for the figure described by Ribera is either a hallucination or embellished tale of personal heroism, facing down the devil, the nature of his death soon after casts doubt on this. If this is a legitimate account of the manifestation of an unknown entity then it may be related to ‘The Great Lady’ of Valencia, the city’s folkloric guardian or personification attested to by the common people. I'll look for any similar reports.</em> -Dr. Sarkis.</p>

<p><strong>Author:</strong> Joseph Bonaparte</p>
<p><strong>Foreword:</strong> Joseph Bonaparte was appointed the King of Spain by Napoleon Bonaparte in January of 1812. He made his capital in the City of Valencia.</p>
<p>This place, this city is a putrid pit of defiance and undercurrent. Though I rule Spain, though my authority reaches throughout the country, none within the confines of this city listen to my decrees. There is a strange and sickly air here. I strode into a church for mass and found myself bombarded with motives and depictions of death, of skeletal artificery and blasphemy one would expect from pagans and the occult.</p>
<p>At night there is the thickest of fogs, blue-green in pallor. Strange things move around in the dark and those locals who are sympathetic advise that I should not move through it, for the Mother might come for me. The city is not hostile, but it is neither friendly nor accommodating. I fear we have stumbled into a fairy tale not our own.</p>

</div>
<p>Warnings have been made against my throne, soldiers eviscerated in front of the castle gates and left openly and provocatively to the sky. One evening I stepped from my bedchambers onto the balcony to see the city at night. I could swear there was something in the fog, something tall and dark haired with eyes that moved, yes moved, like a burning flame. Bright and blue. I blinked and it was gone, and so too my memory tried to slide away.</p>
<p>Partisan activity continues sharply in the city, no matter how much we commit, and our losses to desertion are as much as those to partisan activity. I've come to believe occupation of Valencia as our capital was a mistake.</p>
<p><em>Another mention of a manifestation witnessed by a foreign ruler, this time more directly connected with this "Mother" figure, who I believe to be one and the same with the Great Lady. My initial suspicion is an ontological intrusion, born either of sympathetic projection on the part of the Valencian people's fervent belief in this figure, an unknown relic, or combination of the two with the latter amplifying the former. If the manifestation has a localized source, the present inaccessibility of potential archaeological sites within the city could make identification and extraction difficult.</em>-Dr. Sarkis</p>

<br/>
<p><strong>Anomalous Event #</strong>: 15</p>
<p><strong>Date of Occurence:</strong> 18th July - 23rd July 1938</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> On 18th July 1938 Nationalist forces began our assault on the XYZ line, with the intent to break through and advance on the Republican Stronghold of Valencia. The morning of the assault a thick and unnatural fog moved into the trenches of the XYZ line and the town of Viver, obscuring Republican forces.</p>
<p>Nationalist forces began their assault shortly after 08:00 hours and ran into immediate and stiff resistance. Artillery barrages were fierce, and machine gun fire inflicted a large number of casualties. The preternatural fog rolled out across no-man's land prior to the second wave of assault.</p>
<p>When the second wave began, individual units moved into the fog and were quickly devastated by a number of raised skeletal constructs, hidden earthen traps and spikes, and were hemmed into fire corridors for artillery and machine gun fire. The suspected source were the historically well-known and prevalent necromantic groups within Valencia, but the scale of the event was incongruent with any prior documentation, and unusual movements of earth and lighting were inconsistent with known necromantic capacities of para-natural groups residing in Valencia.</p>
<div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="Gottwaldova_d%C4%9Blost%C5%99eleck%C3%A1_baterie.jpg" class="image" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/Gottwaldova_d%C4%9Blost%C5%99eleck%C3%A1_baterie.jpg"/>
<div class="scp-image-caption">

</div>
<p>According to cooperative sources, groups within Valencia were preparing the city's internal defenses at the time, and did not move to assist larger republican efforts. Several survivors from the assault claimed to have seen a 'giant' that was described as a woman, appearing, and disappearing in the fog over the course of the 6-day assault.</p>

</div>
<p>Numerous photos were taken during the battle, and no other documentation exists matching this description. Thus, this inquiry concludes that it was likely that the city itself acted to aid republican forces. This commission will need to take this into consideration for future operations seeking to secure Valencia, and actions that may neutralize an anomaly that has existed for nearly a millennia, post-occupation.</p>
<p><strong>End Record</strong></p>
<p><em>And here they are again in a modern account. I wish the population of the city didn't utterly loathe us, including the academics. I've gotten glimpses, whiffs of it from overheard conversations, of a shepherd or maternal-like figure that guides or coaxes the city. What is it? Is it sapient? Is it an object? An afterimage of some long past religious group? And what did the commission do to neutralize it? Clearly it wasn’t permanent.</em> -Dr. Sarkis</p>

<p>SCP-8710’s existence doesn’t appear to be a unique phenomenon. Instead, the city of Valenica presents as the most prominent example of a wider class of localized ontological and cultural disruptions found elsewhere in Ibiza, Santorini, and as far North as the Orkney Islands. In all these places we see a heightened rate of anomalous events, and a corresponding belief in the supernatural among the local populations. Of these, however, Valencia is the most important civic center, has by far the highest population, has the most widespread and disruptive anomalous events, and her population is hostile to our organization.</p>
<p>Valencia's culture is most often described as strongly deriving from Christian influenced Celtic traditions. Christianization of Roman Iberia initially suppressed Celtic and Iberian traditions; before more formally adopting them for their own purposes in the late 6th century CE. These circumstances lasted only for a century as the Umayyad Caliphate’s conquest of Iberia sparked immediate repression of pagan customs, including the celebration of Samhain, and enslavement of pagans at large. More tolerance was shown to Christian and Jewish residents. The prevailing attitude towards non-muslim religious practices softened following the conquest, and some pagan traditions returned by the early 8th century as educated, upper-class members of Islamic Al-Andalusian society exhibited a marked interest in learning about and exploring historical and folkloric traditions.<br/>

</div>
<p>This context is important as certain cultural aspects typically attributed to the Spanish Celtic and Iberian traditions; including Samhain, are more pronounced in Valencia than in other regions. When these cultural aspects arose is poorly documented, but by the 10th century CE they were widely prevalent in Valencia and surrounding provinces, and would only become more so in the following centuries. Many aspects of Valencian culture commonly attributed to Iberian and Celtic traditions only find tenuous parallels there, in a way that suggests that, much like the Christianization of pagan holidays, these traditions were reshaped to fit another, external system of beliefs. Iberian eschatology seems to have fit quite neatly into this external influence, and may suggest why Valencia, of all places, became the center of this phenomenon. Closer examination reveals notable differences that suggest there was an initial period of ‘mixing’, before the Celtic and Iberian aspects were either integrated into this newly forming culture or were warped beyond recognition. This is complicated by the fact that Spain, as a whole, experienced a post-inquisition uptick in celebration of both Valencian aligned cultural festivals and classic pagan traditions. Thus, tracing the origins and points of evolution is difficult. Unfortunately, this is further distorted by our limited ability to access local records and the Church’s proclivity, during the inquisition, to suppress and remove any references to pagan traditions beyond accusations of witchcraft. This is all to say, tracking the evolution of SCP-8710’s anomalous cultural effects is exceedingly difficult, bordering on impossible.<br/>
<br/>
Though we cannot trace the exact cultural lineage and origin points, we can see how SCP-8710 continues to expand its influence and evolve through the rise of modern celebrations. The most prominent of these are the Spain centered 'Día de las Brujas' and the originally more Christian versions of ‘Día de Todos los Santos’ and ‘Día de los Difuntos’, where both the perceived 'modern' and 'traditional' aspects can be traced to Valencia. The wider effect is also believed to have reached the New World, where SCP-8710's effects may have mixed with meso-American traditions to produce Día de los Muertos; a holiday that bears many analogous beliefs and practices to those observed in Valencia, while being dominated by meso-American culture and folklore.</p>

<p>Native Valencians display a deep cultural fascination with death and the dead. The subject permeates every aspect of daily life, in iconography, religion, and cultural practice. Nowhere else is this more clearly illustrated than in their treatment and handling of the dead, in a manner unlike any of their cultural neighbors. Human remains are kept within the home, interred beneath the floorboards, even in multi-story, multi-family homes. Only families living in homes where there is no more room to inter corpses, resort to alternative burial practices, to graveyards, catacombs, and mausoleums. Regardless of location, the construction of these graves invariably includes channels by which offerings of water, alcohol, and liquid sustenance may be made to the dead. Many families include decorative altars around these channels, to facilitate celebration of the act of sustenance. This widespread culture of venerations and offerings to the dead is persistent across generations.</p>

<p>Offerings of food and drink to the departed are one of the oldest recorded and most widespread, religious traditions concerning the dead. Yet they are absent or forbidden from most Christian and Islamic traditions. Their inclusion in the religious practices of Valencians is one of many hints that Valencian religious beliefs are a product of syncretism between elements of Abrahamic faiths, and an unknown religious tradition, believed to be a product of SCP-8710’s effects. Valencian religion includes neither Heaven nor Hell, and while most Valencians have a concept of sin, their understanding of the term is entirely bound up in their understanding of the afterlife and their culture of offerings. To sin is to treat others poorly; to treat them in such a way that they and their descendants will make no offerings to you after you die. In their afterlife, the soul must be nourished just as living people are. If no offerings are made, your soul will starve, drinking nought but dust and ash. In practice, though, many Valencians make goodwill offerings to nameless and forgotten graves. Any scholars of ancient near-eastern, especially Mesopotamian, religion in the audience should have some alarm bells going off by this part of the lecture.</p>

<p>The Valencian affinity for death goes beyond the cultural. Native Valencians found engaging in thaumaturgical practice invariably are drawn towards practices concerning the dead, primarily necromancy, for which they display a heightened capacity over non-Valencians. This capacity, along with psychological fixation on death and resistance to amnestic treatment, persists in Valencians who have been removed from the boundaries of SCP-8710. Necromancy doesn’t extend to reanimation, a prospect the native Valencians experience strong revulsion to. Spontaneous reanimation, however, is shockingly common. Outside of Valencia, spontaneous reanimation of the dead occurs in isolated incidents, and is vanishingly rare in absolute terms. In Valencia? 15 spontaneous reanimations per 1000 deaths. The dead do walk the streets of Valencia. Current theories chalk this up to a disruption of the Noosphere, resulting in a thinning in the conceptual barriers between life and death.</p>
<p>Veneration of death and the dead seeps beyond the daily and religious affairs of native Valencians into the realm of creative passion. Murals, paintings, sculptures and carvings originating from within SCP-8710 reflect pronounced differences across all periods, contrasting substantially against the works produced in the rest of Catholic Europe. Frequent use of dark and macabre scenes, morose depictions of death, and the mixture of bleak and desolate imagery are frequently paired and mixed with palettes and compositions we would typically associate with bucolic art as well as vivid depictions of daily life. Cities engraved into the sides of canyons, fields of flowers, and sharp craggy ravines are frequent motifs in a disproportionately large number of Valencian murals and paintings considering the local terrain. These strange mixtures and choice of landscapes lend a unique character to Valencian artwork that invokes both the darkness of plague-stricken Europe and the hope and expression seen in the Renaissance. Valencian artistry is not a static tradition; the character and compositions of works change and transition between major styles and periods, in parallel with the rest of Europe. To the Valencian artist, death is a hopeful friend, a source of certainty in that everyone will eventually face it. Rather than fear death, and what comes next, they cherish its inevitability.</p>
<p>Nowhere is this certainty in inevitability more apparent than in Valencian religious iconography, where more traditional Christian imagery has been coopted or relegated to the background. Christ, though frequently present, has been almost replaced in prominence by a mysterious, motherly figure which the Valencians refer to as "The Mother of the Dead". Those of you familiar with 8710 are probably already familiar with the peculiarities of this figure, and her presence in many Valencian art pieces, not just those of a religious nature. When queries arise concerning ‘The Mother’, native Valencians simply refer to her as the Virgin Mary, at least to non-natives. Deeper inquiries are often met with silence, dismissal, or suggestions to speak to the Clergy and sometimes even attending mass or services. In my experience, agents that have previously pressed the issue further have been met with suspicion and occasionally hostility. It’s clear this figure’s prominence goes far beyond the normally heightened status of Mary in Catholic belief. Artwork and iconography frequently depicts this figure as wielding or being associated with the seven bells of creation, which themselves are associated with the seven days it took god to create the Earth. This peculiar conflation of ‘the Mother’ with Mary, the rampant association with the act of creation in Genesis, and the secretive and defensive nature of native Valencians about the topic leads me to believe there is far more depth and meaning to these depictions and the concept of the entity than 8710 residents want us to see or believe.</p>
<p>Many of you gathered here will have already been exposed to examples of artwork depicting the Mother of the Dead, the Great Lady of Valencia. Show of hands, who has? Now, keep your hand up if your baseline CRV score is below 20. Everyone with their hands still up is required to report for memetic deprogramming. Depictions of the Mother are cognitohazardous, deific indoctrination. Enjoy the spinning lights.</p>

<br/>
<span class="hili"><strong>Interview Log IR-8710-15</strong></span>
<p><span class="hili"><strong>Date:</strong></span> ██/██/████</p>
<p><span class="hili"><strong>Interviewer:</strong></span> Dr. Aliyah Sarkis</p>
<p><span class="hili">Foreword:</span> Due to the difficulty foreign elements have in securing any sort of extended contact with academics working and residing within Valencia, Dr. Aliyah Sarkis took a shot-gun approach in reaching out to as many academics as possible. In spite of this effort, only one response was received, from a Dr. Emily Kurr, an immigrant from Poland born to parents who were themselves immigrants from Iraq. Dr. Sarkis arranged a meeting time with Dr. Kurr at the latter's office in the University of Valencia for recording purposes.</p>
<hr/>
<p><Begin Log></p>
<p>Dr. Emily Kurr finishes rearranging books on the shelves as Dr. Sarkis finishes setting up and turning on recording devices. Dr. Kurr is ~2 meters tall. The right arm is replaced at the shoulder with a high-end prosthetic. She is of middle eastern descent and has brown eyes.</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr sits in the chair when she has finished rearranging her books.</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis sits in the opposite chair, watching Dr. Kurr work. Dr. Sarkis's watches her. Her fists are clenched against the chair, muscles in her arms appearing strained.</p>
<p>She waits for Dr. Kurr to finish her work. Dr. Kurr looks at Aliyah as she takes her seat. They sit there for another minute. Dr. Kurr raises an eyebrow when Dr. Sarkis does not begin the interview.</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis closes her mouth. She sits up and her expression shifts to polite professionalism. She extends a hand to the woman.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "Dr. Emily Kurr? Dr. Aliyah Sarkis."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"It's good to finally meet you."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr looks at the hand for several seconds before taking it with the prosthetic. Dr. Sarkis' hand tenses but doesn't let go after contact.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"A pleasure Dr. Sarkis. Your email was a surprise. Many Akkadian experts grace my door, but it is unusual for them to wish to talk about Valencia specifically."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"My specialization is actually in Ancient Sumer."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Though I'm well familiar with the Akkadians as well. As for, uh, Valencia, I suppose I was wanting a change of pace from my normal courses of investigation, and this project fell into my lap."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Ah well, Akkad and Sumer are fascinating. Rich periods of culture and human history."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr leans back in her chair.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "But they are done. Unwinding their stories is important of course, but the cultures, the religions are dead, no? Valencia is not. It is a living, breathing thing that marches forward, and is so very rich in belief and tradition."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr smiles.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Did it fall into your lap, or did you seek it out?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I'd say a little bit of both."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis smiles.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "And yeah, it's not common I get the opportunity to talk to living people about their history and folklore."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "Though… Most Valencian historians and folklorists I've tried to reach out to have been about as quiet as the dead, anyway."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis smiles, her eyes are half lidded, and a small amount of teeth show.</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr's smile returns to a flat line.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "Outsiders coming into the city have garnered a reputation, and I'm not surprised most do not wish to let that darken their door."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "What's the reputation?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Men and women in suits attempting to obscure the truth, play God with the mind, erase a culture."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis' features slacken for a moment as she looks down, a complicated expression rising on her face. After several seconds, she looks up.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I just want to better understand and document the people here and the culture. If the locals and academics believe me doing so would be a threat to said culture, that's their judgment to make."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr tilts her head, watching Aliyah.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"And what is it you wish to learn?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I want to know more about the Great Lady of Valencia. And the Mother of the Dead."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Ah, the Great Lady. Yes, yes, such an interesting phenomenon."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr taps her fingers together.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"She is. Are the two figures one and the same? I haven't been able to tell for sure from what I've read, and what I've heard from people here in the city."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Are they the same… What an interesting question."</p>
<p>She taps a finger on the desk.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"I suppose it would depend on the source you are looking at, no? You have done no small amount of preparatory reading, I am certain?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I've read quite a bit, but most of what I've been able to get my hands on is from outsiders to the city, and secondary sources. Nobody intimately familiar with the local culture. Both names seem to refer to the same figure, and some connect one or the other with the Virgin Mary, but I've not found anything explicitly saying they're the same."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Mmm, I think the Virgin Mary is perhaps a red herring. I see why theologists and anthropologists would make that leap based on the outside perception of the imagery."</p>
<p>Again Dr. Kurr taps her finger on the desk. A low auditory hum is briefly heard, and she tilts her head, an expression of confusion momentarily appearing on her face. Dr. Sarkis doesn't appear to notice. The professor begins speaking again with a different tone.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"The practices are not initially Judeo-Christian in derivation, except for perhaps the structures."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis leans forward.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"I'm sure you realized that though."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I had my suspicions, but no evidence to go on. I couldn't find any parallels between the figure and any pre-Christian Iberian tradition or syncretism with any culture Valencians would have had direct contact with."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Indeed and the tradition seems to have spread beyond simply Valencia, changing as it so often does."</p>
<p>The camera footage crackles for several seconds with static before returning to normal. Dr. Kurr is audibly excited as she speaks, but only for several seconds before returning to her prior demeanor.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"The parallels to Spanish culture at large, and the bleed into the new world?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Indeed, but it's never become so ubiquitous and enduring anywhere else but here."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Exactly, it remains primarily local."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Now I have spent quite a bit of time studying divinities associated with death. There are some that might fit the conceptualization of a Great Lady, and a mother both. Hel and Scathatch being the closest regionally."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "Perhaps Dea Tacita, the silent goddess too."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I'm not as familiar with Hel and Scathatch as I probably should be, but I did look into Dea Tacita, which seems… possible. There are similarities, particularly traditions surrounding offerings of food and drink to the dead, but those are common traditional elements across many cultures, and there's none of the key elements of Tacita's myth I've found connected to the Mother."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis pauses and then considers.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "The symbols associated with the Great Lady also don't align with Tacita either. Seven seems to be an incredibly important numerology, as well as bells and owls. There are fewer accessible sources to outsiders regarding those symbols and how they're associated with the Mother."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Mmmm. All are important associations with the figure and the associated mythology. I'm surprised that knowledge hasn't spread beyond the city, but then again, the citizenry has become… secretive with how outsiders tend to behave."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Could you tell me a bit about those symbols, and the mythology behind them?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Of course. Where would you like me to start?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"How about the number seven, and the bells? They seem intertwined."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr reaches back and pulls a book off the shelf. Its title reads 'The Mother of the Dead and the Great Lady of Valencia: Their Associated Myths and Folklore.' She opens the tome and flips several pages.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "I’ll read you the first myth that involves her in local Christian scripture. You're familiar with Genesis from the Abrahamic texts?"</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis hesitates.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Hard not to be."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr watches her for a moment, eyebrow rising slowly.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Good then I can skip the parts you know. In the beginning when El made the world, he was not alone. He conspired with a Goddess of reverent status, but she had no name that survives, as the sons of Abraham greatly feared her, and burnt all trace from the literature."</p>

Eve listened to her hoots, and consumed the apple from the tree as the Mother rang the bell, granting her wisdom. She then told Adam, and together they consumed more of the fruit, and gained much knowledge. El was displeased and banished them from the garden, resolving to enact the plan on the Mother in retribution for her transgression."</p>

She would oversee the Dead, and sort them based on the way they lived their lives, sending them to heaven or limbo or hell. The children of Abraham mistakenly labeled her Lilith, but she took on another name. In response, she forged the final bell, the Bell of Compassion, and rather than decorate it she forged a breastplate to sustain herself against the harshness of El's onslaught."</p>

<p>"Their debate raged for eons, but the bells and their gifts were not enough for the Mother to overcome El. In one final act of desperation, the Mother collapsed the highest peaks of many mountains atop her body, covering herself in darkness and severing her right arm. El took this as his victory prize, and gave her peace. In the end she was not able to overcome her fate, and she resigned to the task she'd been given. In the depths she retooled the bells to serve new purposes, to manage the dead she would come to hold dear, and to forge a Queendom all her own. But she did not resent El, for in his selfishness, he had granted the Mother of the Dead freedom over a world all her own. For one day, the seeds of wisdom she planted in long yesterday would bloom into reverence and balance to check El's aggression into love."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr flips the book closed.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "This is just one version of the mythology, and it changes based on who you speak with. The Moriscos had their own versions of the tale before they were deported enmasse from Spain."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr frowns and her shoulders sag for a moment, before her eyes return to Dr. Sarkis.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "What were the bells' new purposes?"</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr leaned down, and brought out an ornamental set of bells, setting them on the desk.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "Why don't you guess first?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "Honestly, I don’t think I have enough context or familiarity to make a decent guess.”</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "The first bell was reworked to grant or take speech from the dead. The second, bend the dead's spirit to the ringer's will. The third to restore the mind. The fourth to restore or deprive form and beauty to the listener. The fifth to restore or rob autonomy, sixth to repair or steal memory and knowledge, the seventh to reconstruct or destroy emotions."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "Fascinating… and I suppose this is another case of syncretism? Given the replacement of the snake in the Garden of Eden with an Owl?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "It would seem so. It is an interesting replacement at the very least."</p>
<p>Several minutes of silence pass between them as Dr. Sarkis scribbles down everything Dr. Kurr has said. Dr. Kurr picks up her bottle as Dr. Sarkis is finishing her writing, and drinks from it.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "Do you think the Mother of the Dead and God are lovers in this version of the myth?"</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr chokes on water, putting the bottle down and coughing for several seconds, before responding.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "No, no I don't believe so, not in any of the myths or scripture I've seen. More of a brother and sister. If anything, the Mother of the Dead has little, if any sexual connotations."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis nods and writes another line on her notepad.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "Do you have any copies of those texts that I could take with me?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "Of course."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr reaches back to the book shelf, and pulls an identical volume to the one she was reading from. Dr. Sarkis takes the volume and places it in her bag.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "Thanks. So when precisely did the Great Lady start appearing in Valencian art and scripture? Without access to local records it's been… difficult for me or other outside scholars to understand the time period in which she first became an influential religious and mythological figure? When did the culture start to transition to the teachings we've seen for the past millenia?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "It depends on which source you look at. Some claim that the Mother, the Great Lady, first began appearing around the time of El Cid."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "That seems a little late, based on the written transcriptions of his stories. Seems a little peculiar for such a strong culture to become so ingrained so quickly.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "Indeed, which is why I believe it started much earlier. The earliest attested sources are from around 830-840 CE, when several Valencian poets and historians wrote in vagaries about changes to worship in Valencian Mosques and Churches that resemble early versions of the more modern practices. There are some… interesting specifics that weren't carried over."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "Such as?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span> "An entourage of celestial beings that answered to the Mother but not God, the presence of an endless city in the underworld for the dead, the use of the word 'Elil' in place of God or El in old Spanish, mentions of souls being a river of fire. It's a shame we lack significant scripture or text from this period."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "I would love to compare them, but if there's no surviving scripture, then…"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Then it was buried or destroyed. Sadly, many texts have been lost to the annals of history it seems."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "Shameful, but still far more than I hoped for."</p>
<p>Another minute of silence passes between them as Dr. Sarkis scribbles on her notepad.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span> "This is all very helpful Dr. Kurr, and raises many more questions about the Great Lady."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr taps her fingers on the desk.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"With this new dearth of knowledge, Tell me what you think, both about what you knew before, and know now."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"…"</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis hesitates, sitting back in the chair.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"If I tell you what I think, you'll think I'm crazy."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr leans forward.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Try me."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"This won't leave this room?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Of course."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I don't think the Great Lady of Valencia, the Mother of the Dead, is a purely folkloric figure. I believe she's some sort of genuine entity. Which has taken up residence here."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Oh? Curious. What makes you believe this?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Looking through historical records, there are consistent… phenomena, unusual occurrences, documented hundreds of years apart by different outside individuals from different foreign cultures, associated with one figure or the other. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"The strange visions and delusions, figures in the fog in the journals of historical figures. Yes."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr leans back in her chair, shifting a hand to rub her chin.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Most historians dismiss those conversations with a strange otherworldly figure as the result of bad bread, rotten food, or dreams recalled in place of memory."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"You believe them real?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I believe it's a possibility."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"So. Instead of some imagined enemy or ally, you believe the Great Lady to be a real entity."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Interesting."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Have you found evidence other than the ravings of historical figures in journals?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I was looking into it, and I found…. military records, from the Spanish Civil War. I'm not much of a military historian, but after the loss at the XYZ line, an unusual amount of resources were dedicated to a military operation somewhere between Barcelona and Valencia, away from the main front. There are reports of similar phenomena to those observed in those other records, paired with more destructive effects, up until that point. Then, Nationalist forces captured… someone. The records don't give a name of the individual, but after that point, those effects seem to lessen, or cease."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr sits up in her chair, an indiscernible expression passing across her face.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"I see. I am not a military historian."</p>
<p>The professor’s voice changes to a cautious tone.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Did you find any description of who they captured?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Just that she was a tall, imposing looking woman."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis gestures.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"It was vague."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Hmmm. That could mean anything, potentially a republican leader?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"There weren't any good candidates that I could find."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr leans back in her chair, pressing fingers to her chin again.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Have you dug any further into it?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I've run out of places to dig. Except you."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"I've reviewed most local sources during that period and while there is an abrupt fall off in… cultural celebration after the civil war, I cannot say I have seen anything regarding a person being worthy of capture with massing of military resources."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"But perhaps there is actually a Great Lady of Valencia who was indeed captured by Franco."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis tilts her head to one side.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"You don't think that's a crazy idea?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"When you've lived in this city long enough, you see a lot of things the rest of the world doesn't believe."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Such as?"</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr smiles.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>“Ah are you aware of the incidents after Franco’s regime came to an end?”</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"A lot of things happened after the fall of Franco's regime. What specifically do you mean?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>“During the transition back to democracy, there was a large number of… unalive things that rose up and targeted specifically members of Valencian society who had enforced fascist ideals during Franco’s reign. Outside influences were called in to deal with them and tried to remove people’s memory.”</p>
<p>She pauses, and tilts her head to one side.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>“Ah but listen to me. You must think I am insane.”</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis shakes her head.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I don't think you're insane. You have documentation of this?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>“That has not been seized or burned by those outsiders? A few newspapers, but no films or tapes. They seized all of those before the citizenry ran them out.”</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"That'd probably explain why it didn't come up in my research. I'd like to see those newspapers… If that could be arranged."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>“Of course.”</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr pushes her chair back and moves to a cabinet. After several minutes of sorting and searching through file cabinets, she pulls out a folder and retakes her seat. She opens the folder, and several papers are inside.</p>
<p>Video footage captures several headlines as Dr. Kurr spreads the headlines on her desk: “Dead Rise on Eve of Franco’s Death!” “Return of the Great Lady heralds a new renaissance for Valencia” “The Mother of Death Restores Valencia.”</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis gasps at a low volume. She examines the papers which are preserved in sealed lamination.</p>
<p>After ~three minutes Dr. Sarkis sits back and looks up at Dr. Kurr.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"These articles, do you have digital copies you could share?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"If you provide an address I can certainly do so."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis pulls a notebook out from her pocket, tears out a page, and writes on it for several seconds. She offers it to Dr. Kurr, who takes it, looks at it for several seconds, and then nods.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Thanks, Dr. Kurr."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Of course, happy to help another lover of history."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis looks down for several seconds, looking at the newspapers again before looking back up.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"…Do you believe in the Great Lady of Valencia, Dr. Kurr?"</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis pauses, her brow furrowing.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>“Well if you listen to some of the people in this department, you would think I was the Great Lady.”</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr snorts, and smiles.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>“But to answer your question, I am a woman of science and evidence. Do I believe there is something more here? Maybe. Do I believe in the Great Lady? I do not know.”</p>
<p>Aliyah rocks her head to one side.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"You mean your colleagues think highly of you? Or…"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>“Yes. They think highly of me, in multiple ways. I am two meters tall, Dr. Sarkis.”</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I noticed."</p>
<p>She smirks.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"But the other people in your department know about her as well… Do you think they believe in her?"</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr tilts her head at the question.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>“I suppose you could say they do. Even men and women of reason are not immune to the comfort of superstition.”</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis nods in agreement.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Absolutely."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"If… Someone wanted to investigate this further. Is there anywhere or anyone else you would recommend?"</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr taps a finger against her chin for several seconds.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"I would try poking around one of the churches, perhaps talking to the local clergy."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I've tried that before. It didn't really go anywhere."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I get the sense it's not something they talk to outsiders about."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis looks at Dr. Kurr again. She emits a small noise and Dr. Kurr tilts her head.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Hmmm, maybe try poking around them anyways? The Clergy love to lecture the citizenry."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I could give it another shot, I suppose. Would they recognize your name? Could you… Give me an introduction?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Is there anyone specific I should contact?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"I have a connection through the Church at San Nicolás who collaborates with the Clergy on matters of preservation. Her name is Natalia Iten, dark hair, brown eyes, mid-twenties or so. She should be able to help you if you tell her I sent you. If you can't find her, look for Fernando Ratman."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Thanks."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis smiles and rises, offering her hand. Dr. Kurr rises and takes the hand, shaking.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"I'll email you if I have any more questions?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Kurr:</span>"Please. I may take a few days to respond. I am not as good at technology as some of my colleagues."</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis gives Dr. Kurr a thumbs up.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Sarkis:</span>"Thanks. I, uh, hope we meet again."</p>
<p><End Log></p>
<hr/>
<p><span class="hili">Postword:</span> Following her meeting with Dr. Kurr, Dr. Sarkis notified her office she was traveling to the Church at San Nicolás. She was last seen entering the Church on public CCTV cameras, and did not reemerge. Examining extant employee records of the Church at San Nicolás failed to identify any current or former employees with the name Natalia Iten or Fernando Ratman.</p>

<p>Dr. Sarkis could not be located following multiple searches of the Cathedral at San Nicolás and the surrounding districts of Valencia. Foundation officials attempted to contact Dr. Emily Kurr following their initial searches, only to be informed that she had departed the evening following her interview with Dr. Sarkis for a conference in Cairo, Egypt.</p>
<p>Foundation officials initiated search efforts to identify any potential information that could be used to locate Dr. Sarkis, at which time regional command granted permission to examine her personal quarters. Dr. Sarkis' quarters contained a number of previously undiscovered journal entries from historical figures, torn or lost pages of primary sources that were, otherwise, unaccounted for in SCP-8710's files. These documents were laminated and protected, and Dr. Sarkis had made a number of copies which were scattered around her apartment. The following section contains excerpts from these pages, and her most relevant notes.</p>

<p>And that is where I found her. The Witch-Queen of Valencia stood before me in all her grandeur. She wore a crown of finger bones atop a waterfall of blood-soaked curls that draped from her head. Her right arm was gone, replaced with some sort of construct of bone, and I thought she must surely be a demon for the arm moved as naturally as the one that was fully fleshed. And her eyes, her eyes were lucid blue flames, dancing in their sockets. Forgive me lord, and forgive me Doña for my thoughts strayed to temptation for so beautiful a creature this Witch was.</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis' Note: A new title, but I’m sure she’s the same figure. The clearest physical description of the Mother of the Dead yet. Rodrigo paints quite a picture.</p>

<hr/>
<p>Dr. Sarkis finds herself moving deeper into the bowels of San Nicolás. It is an older building, but not quite as old as some of the buildings within the city. Natalia gave her instructions for how to access some of the deeper archives within the church, apparently a place with first-hand accounts of the Great Lady. Exactly what Dr. Sarkis has been looking for.</p>
<p>She follows Natalia's directions, and instructions, traveling deeper down towards those archives.</p>
<p>She stops seeing people after descending the third flight of stairs.</p>
<p>Eventually she steps into a basement area, drenched in dust and cobwebs with shelves upon shelves of ancient books.</p>
<p>She pulls out a set of gloves from her bag. She doesn't want to contaminate any of these documents with skin oils or dirt she might carry in. She looks at the note and navigates to the sections she was instructed to, where she can begin her search.</p>
<p>And finds herself facing a wall. There's indentation in the brick like a buttress for a window frame, but it is nothing but brick there. She saw several of these in between the shelves as she walked this way.</p>
<p>Even still there's an odd vibe to this segment that she can't quite place.</p>
<p>She looks at the wall, cocking her head. Thinking. As she thinks, she lets her eyes wander, tracing the lines in the brickwork as she stands very still.</p>
<p>The bricks, at first glance, seem to remain bricks. But as she looks closer, she notices a shimmer.</p>
<p>Her head slowly rolls to one side, and she reaches out a gloved hand to touch the shimmering bricks.</p>
<p>As her fingers touch them, she feels herself suddenly and inexplicably drawn forward. It happens so quickly there's no time to react, one moment she's touching the brick, the next she's sucked through like a cockroach in a vacuum tube.</p>
<p>Then she's falling.</p>
<p>Her camera cuts out, the light turning off as her flashlight flickers, falling falling falling.</p>
<p>Thrust into absolute darkness she feels the rising sensation in her gut… falling, falling. A normal person would probably be terrified beyond all reason. Aliyah, no Aliyah finds herself thinking about the wall.</p>
<p>She's aware she's about to die.</p>
<p>Hopefully. There are much worse things anomalies can do to a person.</p>
<p>But she's extremely curious about the how and intends to use her last moments considering it.</p>
<p>Those last moments fast approach as light rises amazingly fast below her.</p>
<p>Then all of a sudden she's on her back, laying on something soft.</p>
<p><em>Oh. Huh. Cozy.</em></p>
<p>It takes her a moment to realize. She's not dead. As far as she can tell. She flexes her fingers and toes, taking a mental inventory.</p>
<p>Her camera crackles back on, the little recording button lighting back up.</p>
<p>She turns her head to look at her camera. <em>What am I laying in?</em></p>
<p>There's a fair bit of ambient light here, as her vision adjusts, she's laying in a field of yellow flowers. Beyond the flowers is the edge of a cliff, multiple floating islands suspended in thin air.</p>
<p>She scoops up her camera, sitting up. Aliyah frowns, stomach sinking a bit as she realizes she crushed the flowers. Slowly getting to her feet and sweeping up the camera to look over the cliff, at those floating islands. She lets out a whistle. The whistle echoes, bouncing off many walls.</p>
<p>Down below her stretching for what must at least be a mile, is a deep pitted canyon. A river of blue-green mist runs endlessly through it, undulating along. Carved into the sides of the cliff are many buildings of different architectural styles representing an indeterminate number of historical periods. The highest set buildings are more recognizably modern, but the further down she looks, the more ancient they become.</p>
<p>She walks over, to stand at the edge of the cliff, stability be damned. Getting the best look she can down towards its foot, and that glowing river. It stretches out before Aliyah, winding on endlessly. Her head tilts aways to her right as she notices the little island she is on is connected by rope and board bridges to other similar floating islands, jagged icebergs of earth dripping down into the deep canyon below.</p>
<p>She looks, and points her camera up, to see if there's anything interesting in the direction she came from, before she heads for the bridge.</p>
<p>There's nothing but black above her.</p>
<p>She turns to move towards the bridges. They cross a network of islands, a much larger structure towering in the distance. It's a Frankenstein of a building, traces of what was probably once a Ziggurat or pyramid carved into the cliff-face, now decorated with marble Greek columns in a neo-classical style and a mash of other modern architectural features.</p>
<p>Aliyah starts making her way across the rope bridges, towards the structure. "Maybe I can ask someone for directions." she deadpans to herself, and the camera.</p>
<p>Her boots creak on the ancient wooden boards as she moves between the islands, what seemed at a distance as glowing rocky outcrops now so clearly stand towering over her on each island. Golden metal gleaming spires in the ambient lighting tower over her as she walks past, blue-green fog writhing within. About 3/4ths of the way up these structures, Owls loom in the shadows cast, seven bells gripped in their beaks.</p>
<p>Aliyah lets the camera linger on each structure in turn, stopping partway over the bridge when she makes her closest approach to the golden structures on the surrounding islands. She films them, slowly panning up to the owls, which she lingers on. She does this with each spire in turn, always when she reaches the point on the bridge where she is at her closest approach.</p>
<p>It takes around 30 minutes or so for her to reach the foot of the immense structure carved into the cliff face. Banners hang, suspended from parapets that are 4-5 stories above her head as she traces the shape of the wall. Intricate symbols are carved into the exterior of the walls, something old that Aliyah doesn't recognize.</p>
<p>A doorway with jagged teeth on the top stands before her, the light only reaching a few feet beyond the doorframe before it settles into an ominous gloom.</p>
<p>Aliyah stops outside the structure, taking in as much detail as she can.</p>
<p>When she’s finished, she faces forward, and plunges onward. If the abrupt termination of the ambient light gives her any pause it's not apparent.</p>
<p>A few feet into the dark she walks, and her eyes seem to adjust. The darkness ebbs and flows around her in swirling eddies, as if subjected to a constant but almost static flow. In places it's bright enough to see, but as she moves if she walks to the right or left by a foot or more she's in pitch black. When she looks down at the floor, swirls are etched into the stone, ornate grooved erosive marks that should not happen outside of water.</p>
<p>Every step deeper in brings a stunning chill of cold. As she shines her flashlight murals alight on the wall, vivid and brilliant colors, depicting people, events, places, and times that she cannot place. But there are some, some that seem familiar, the deeper she moves the more familiar they become.</p>
<p>"To the naked eye, the darkness appears to have a visible structure," she narrates for the camera, "The camera isn't picking it up. It's like…" She pauses, "A disruption in a creek. Swirls and eddies. It's a flow. Light seems to be having trouble penetrating certain areas." She tries sticking her flashlight into one of those dark regions and filming it to demonstrate.</p>
<p>"Dark regions are extremely cold." She turns back to filming the murals and etchings, proceeding slowly.</p>
<p>As she moves past the entryway the flow becomes more apparent, moving past Aliyah's feet like a river curtain and settling down to just below her waist. As she moves along the murals, the walls begin to bend strangely, the floor tilting in unnatural ways to the right.</p>
<p>"The… structured darkness, the flow, has settled to the bottom of the corridor the deeper I go in. It's almost up to my waist. Still very cold."</p>
<p>She illustrates this with her flashlight again, dunking it beneath the 'surface' and pulling it back up.</p>
<p>"It's… like a river." She keeps moving forwards, making sure the distortion shows up on camera.</p>
<p>The darkness does not follow the reorientation as if it's fully defying what feels like gravity. It flows along the ceiling now as Aliyah's trajectory places her completely upside down, having at one point walked over murals, and now walking on what is the ceiling if she shines her flashlight far enough back. The murals are deeply familiar now, she can pick out events as they occurred during the Roman and Parthian Empires.</p>
<p>In the distance a source of illumination is slowly getting closer as she walks.</p>
<p>She continues to proceed at her slow pace, taking in the Murals, carefully picking over the shifting terrain.</p>
<p>The murals continue to flow into one another, the march of time apparent in the depiction of historic events as the light grows, the river of darkness no longer just singularly darkness, but blue-green thick fog that moves atop the blackened layer like a flame. The symbols decorating the wall remain unrecognizable as they were when she first stepped inside; however. The light is blinding after spending so long in the chilly dark and Aliyah has to shield her eyes.</p>
<p>She steps out into a central courtyard. As Aliyah's eyes adjust to the light she's greeted by a small field of flowers stretching out to the foot of another structure at the back of the space. Great gleaming fire pits made of gold painted metal circle the enclosure. Sculptures of earth and metal of innumerable shapes and concepts litter the surrounding walls, accompanied by Murals of a shining city, a city whose architecture Aliyah knows all too well.</p>
<p>And immediately before her against a back wall is a 4-5 story high ziggurat.</p>
<p>Made completely of human bones.</p>
<p>Perched upon the top is a throne, framed perfectly by two immense metal spires resembling those on the islands that sit in the field of flowers. A metal arch runs between the spire, seven bells suspended perfectly from them, accompanied by seven enormous ornamental owls in seven quite different compositions.</p>
<p>She moves the camera around, looking at the murals, at the statues… but she seems more hurried, eyes continuing to dart to the throne.</p>
<p>She stares at it, not stopping to take in the new murals like she has previously but approaching the bone ziggurat.</p>
<p>A heavy shadow, a darkness, shades the throne. It takes a moment for her to realize that the darkness, the river, flows down the steps of the structure, from the throne itself.</p>
<p>Then something moves at the top, a silhouette obscured in the shade.</p>
<p>Aliyah keeps approaching. The camera remains on the figure, but wanders, as she's not looking through the viewfinder anymore, keeping it carefully trained.</p>
<p>A pair of brilliant soulfire-blue flames dancing in the shade. A voice, deep and old rings through the air, causing Aliyah to stop in place momentarily. "šilig."</p>
<p>In spite of this seeming command, it seems… less effective than it should be, for her muscles twitch and she steps forward again after a moment. Proceeding relentlessly forward.</p>
<p>After cycling through several more words, stymying Aliyah's motion each time, the deep voice cuts through in English. "Halt."</p>
<p>Aliyah stops, more out of courtesy than out of supernatural compulsion. Her gaze lingers on the throne and the shadowed figure in it.</p>
<p>A long and tense silence sinks into the air and Aliyah. "You intrude upon our domain, disturb that which should not be disturbed. The way is shut to the living."</p>
<p>Aliyah watches, head slowly tilting to one side. Her expression is one of keen interest. "What shouldn't be disturbed? And what way do you mean?"</p>
<p>"The way is shut to the living. You are not among the dead. You sully this place with your living breath." A hand, skeletal in the light shifts out of shadow and into the ambient warmth, pointing at Aliyah from where the figure has risen off the throne. "Leave."</p>
<p>"Don't know how," she says simply, looking amused.</p>
<p>A moment of silence passes between them, and then a deep, eternal bell cuts through the silence, and all matter like a knife through butter. It resonates in Aliyah's soul, and a momentary compulsion wriggles in her mind, the words 'leave' attempting to take root and cling to her conscious will.</p>
<p>It simmers out as she returns to lucidity, finding herself about three steps back towards the door, her back to the figure, regaining control of her body.</p>
<p>A bit of a jolt as she returns to herself, looking back over her shoulder. "Neat trick… Uh, do you really want me to leave? I don't think I can get back on my own, but I could go back to the flower fields."</p>
<p>"…Do you know Natalia?"</p>
<p>"Silence, Jailer." The bell rings again, and the process repeats, this time there's more effort put in and she finds herself standing about ten steps further away from where she was.</p>
<p>"You know the Hand? Neat." She starts walking back towards the corridor on her own.</p>
<p>"…wait. How are you doing that?"</p>
<p>"…Doing what?" she's talking over her shoulder, still poised to leave.</p>
<p>"You resist the bells."</p>
<p>"Dunno? I've scored pretty high on cognitohazard resistance, before." She smiles through hooded eyes looking smug as if she's told a bad joke.</p>
<p>The silhouette tilts its head. "No mind is capable of withstanding us."</p>
<p>"Is that so?" She slowly turns to face the throne again. "Do you want me to be silent and leave? Or do you want to talk about that?"</p>
<p>"Return to the center between the spires."</p>
<p>She gives a thumbs up. "Will I see you there?"</p>
<p>"You shall see what we wish you to see, Jailer."</p>
<p>"I'll see you there," her voice has the barest hint of flirtation clinging to the tongue. She turns back towards the door, starting to walk.</p>
<p>The door suddenly closes, a pillar of rock sealing it off.</p>
<p>She turns back again, tilting her head.</p>
<p>"Return to the center between the spires." A hint of indiscernible emotion seeps into the voice, breaking the flat and stoic tone.</p>
<p>"…Wait, did you mean the spires in here, or out there?" She turns around. "I thought you were telling me to leave."</p>
<p>"…in here."</p>
<p>Aliyah gives a thumbs up and approaches.</p>
<p>"Name yourself," the silhouette says.</p>
<p>"Dr. Aliyah Sarkis. And you?"</p>
<p>"What is your reason for intruding upon this place and disturbing our eternal work?" She ignores Aliyah's question.</p>
<p>"Well. I never really meant to come here. I didn't know there was a here to come to. A wall pulled me in. But, uhh, As for why I was searching for anything… I wanted to get to the bottom of a mystery. I wanted to meet you."</p>
<p>The eyes in the shadows narrow. "Why?"</p>
<p>"Well. It's my job. But more importantly… I was curious, about you. I wanted to meet you in person. See what you were like." She smiles again.</p>
<p>The silhouette lets that hang in the air for a moment before she moves. Taking several steps, she exits the shadow. Towering at least 2.2 meters tall, she stands there like a geographic figure, dominating the visual field even from on top of the pyramid of bone. Her hair gleams in the ambient light, maroon and dripping down her frame like blood, contrasting the piercing blue of her flame-like eyes. She wears gleaming golden armor that covers most of her upper body, and leg-guards that protect much of her legs.</p>
<p>The right arm is severed at the shoulder joint, replaced with a prosthetic of blackened human arm bones. Her face is framed by a crown of human fingerbones, and bleached white jawbones decorating each cheek, while the remainder of her face is painted hauntingly white with black accentuating the shadows to resemble a skull.</p>
<p>A great spear with seven gleaming blades, that really resembles a shield more than a spear, is gripped by the prosthetic. In her left hand she holds a cage, a censer with bells that emit deep chilling tones with every slight motion, leaking blue-green acrid fog that drips down the steps.</p>
<p>"…It's good to meet you again, Dr. Kurr," Aliyah says after a pause. Her tone is… snarky, but a genuine smile creases her lips.</p>
<p>"We do not know that name." She narrows her eyes at Aliyah. "You are not afraid, are you?"</p>
<p>Aliyah cocks her head to the other side, before shaking it, <em>still smiling.</em></p>
<p>"We are the Great Lady of Valencia," The Great Lady says, the whole area darkening with her proclamation.</p>
<p>Aliyah bows. "It's good to meet you. Finally, though… Are you sure we haven't met before?"</p>
<p>The Great Lady of Valencia tilts her head.</p>
<p>She tosses her shield with the barest of effort, it whirls through the air, a spinning disc of screeching metal, and lands next to Aliyah. The Witch Queen of Valencia raises the censer and rings the bells within.</p>
<p>Aliyah steps away from the flight path of the shield, though not with much urgency.</p>
<p>A tremendous roar echoes through the cavern, diving from the shadows above, the spectral shade of a great dragon whips down and flows over the pyramid.</p>
<p>The roar finally finally provokes a reaction; Aliyah cringes and covers her ears at the volume of the noise.</p>
<p>The Mother of Death shifts, and leaps, feet landing on the dragon’s nose as it ripples down the steps and carries her across the distance between them. She jumps off right in front of Aliyah, her landing causing the earth to shake with the enormity of the impact of her concept. The Sorceress of Al Andalus towers over Aliyah, a mountain of a woman.</p>
<p>Aliyah takes a moment to recover, and as the great lady drops in front of her, and the ground beneath her feet shakes, she looks up at the woman towering over her with a quizzical expression. "Seems like a lot of effort to avoid going down stairs," she teases, and smiles.</p>
<p>The Great Lady stares at her for a long moment. "We could crush you beneath our heel."</p>
<p>Aliyah touches her own chin in thought. There's a lot of crass things she could say to that, but she wants to make a good first impression. "You could. And I couldn't do anything to stop you."</p>
<p>"We could strip the flesh from your bones, dissolve your very concept into ash in the wind." The Great Lady stares, eyes searching the other woman's for… something.</p>
<p>"That's a bit less fun…" she mutters to herself, under her breath. "I don't doubt you could." shrug, "What's your point?"</p>
<p>"We are the Mother of Death, Mover of the Earth, Master of Darkness, Eater of Dreams, and yet you stand here. You do not move."</p>
<p>"Why would I move? You told me to stand here?"</p>
<p>"You should be cowering before me, fleeing to the nearest escape and direction in utter terror, whimpering as your memory erodes before my aura. But you are just standing. Right there." Something approaching exasperation leaks between the flatness in her tone.</p>
<p>"Why? This is your, like, domain. I don't think it'd really make it harder for you to kill me if I ran. And if you wanted to kill me, you already would have?"</p>
<p>The Master of Darkness works her jaw. "That's not the point. What's going on, are we being pranked? We are terrifying."</p>
<p>"I'm not usually terrified of beautiful women," Aliyah smiles again in the same way. It's infuriating.</p>
<p>The Great Lady just stares at her for a long moment, before looking up. "Abigail! This is not funny! Show yourself!"</p>
<p>"Who's Abigail?" Aliyah's lips purse, looking very confused.</p>
<p>"Silence, you won't remember for long." She waits a good 15-30 seconds and when no one materializes she works her jaw again and looks back down at Aliyah. "Who sent you?"</p>
<p>"You already know that? You called me a Jailer earlier."</p>
<p>"Yes, but Jailers are never…" She gestures at Aliyah, breaking her dramatic demeanor, the exasperation leaking into every motion now. Despite the face paint, color leaks through, on her cheeks. "This."</p>
<p>Shrug. "I was never very good at being a Jailer."</p>
<p>She just stares at Aliyah for a long, long moment. About a minute of silence between them before her hand shoots out and touches Aliyah's temples. "Forget it, we'll erase your memories and send you on."</p>
<p>Aliyah looks like a puppy that has just been kicked, but she doesn't pull away from the touch. "I wish you wouldn't."</p>
<p>Aliyah's memories begin to waver and fade. "A jailer with no fear is a threat to my dominion that I cannot tolerate." In seconds, her memory is drained away, and she can't remember precisely where she is, or what she was doing. There is a woman touching her forehead, and a blinking camera in her hand.</p>
<p>Aliyah's eyes drift, between the woman's arms, her surroundings, the camera. She slowly looks up into the unfamiliar woman's face. "You have pretty eyes."</p>
<p>The camera cuts to black.</p>
<p><Log Abruptly Ends></p>
<hr/>
<p><span class="hili">Postword:</span> Following end of video log, Dr. Aliyah Sarkis is now believed to be contained within a Pocket Dimension containing the source of SCP-8710. Efforts to search the Church at San Nicolás were unable to locate an entryway into the pocket space. As Dr. Sarkis has now been exposed to high levels of deific interference, should she be returned she is to be remanded, and subjected to memetic and deific deprogramming protocols. Further examination of materials retrieved from Dr. Sarkis' quarters is of highest priority to affect her retrieval.</p>

<p><strong>Incident Log I-8710-02</strong></p>
<div class="warning-tide opener">
<div class="warning-header"><strong><tt>Incident Report I-8710-02</tt></strong></div>
<p><span class="hili">Date:</span> ██/██/████</p>
<p><span class="hili">Participants:</span> Dr. Aliyah Sarkis, SCP-8710-01 (reclassified to SCP-8710, see D-8710-02).</p>
<hr/>
<p><Begin Log></p>
<p>Video feeds reactivate, capturing Dr. Aliyah Sarkis standing in the midst of a new environment, her eyes hazy and unfocused.</p>
<p>A sprawling multi-level complex with flowing water that trickles into waterfalls pans out in all visible directions. Plants hang from large suspended planters. Thick, dirt-coated floors with stone paving compose the upper levels, deep rooted plants springing from fertile soil. Luscious looking fruits, vines, and vegetables cascading in a flurry of Greenery.</p>
<p>"…" Aliyah surveys the marvel, jaw agape. It reminds her of the hanging gardens. <em>Can architecture die? Does it have a soul?</em> she wonders.</p>
<p>The researcher's eyes go wide, and she reels a bit as all the memories crash back into her, and she suddenly remembers where she is and why. She shakes her head to banish the sudden head rush it brings, before looking around for the Great Lady.</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr walks past Dr. Sarkis, her attire having demonstrably changed. She's in a skirt that has a long, almost cape-like back, with a short front, wearing a brazen top that covers parts of her arms, her chest and a strap on her shoulders. Calf high sandals frame half leggings on her legs</p>
<p>"Again and again we've tried but…We can't even erase your memories. Who are you?"</p>
<p>Aliyah tilts her head, trying to claw at the memory where she introduced herself. "I already told you. I think?"</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr pauses in front of Aliyah, evaluating her. "Yes. Again and again you've spoken your reason and identity. Yet…"</p>
<p>For a moment she looks over Aliyah, before shifting, moving deeper into the gardens, gesturing for Aliyah to follow. "We're certain you've long wondered where the rumors of the gardens came from."</p>
<p>"…Rumors?" She blinks, before hastily stepping to follow. "I always assumed they were real, at some point, and were sacked or destroyed."</p>
<p>"They were real once, but they existed here before among the mortal planes. Their architects slipped into our domain, and ended up here for a time. In madness they attempted to recreate it, proclaiming it a wonder when it was only ever a fraction of what we built."</p>
<p>"You made these?" Aliyah looks at her, "…They're beautiful." Her cheeks darkening as she looks at Dr. Kurr.</p>
<p>"We built them to sustain ourselves, and favored mortals, before we realized that sustenance is no longer necessary to survive. Now, it is a means to pass the ages when our tasks are slim." There's a hint of color on her cheeks before she turns and walks deeper into the gardens.</p>
<p>The Great Lady rubs her face as they walk. "Why did you wish to meet us?" she asks, looking back at Aliyah.</p>
<p>Aliyah pauses, stopping in place, stumped by the question. Dr. Kurr stops when she does, looking at her with expectation in the wrinkles of her nose and forehead.</p>
<p>"…There's a lot of things I could say. It's, like, my job. I'm supposed to be working towards containing you. But… I don't think this meeting? Stay? How long I've been here, directly serves that purpose. Honestly, giving you the opportunity to kill me easily is probably counterproductive."</p>
<p>Aliyah pauses.</p>
<p>"…I could say it's because you're incredibly old, and powerful. That if I could get you to answer my questions, I could learn so much about history, about people, about long forgotten languages and cultures. But honestly, I don't think I had that coherent a material goal."</p>
<p>Aliyah reaches out and touches the leaf of a sprawling fern.</p>
<p>"…I just spent so much time researching you, how you've shaped this city, who you are and what you've done… I just had to meet you."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr stands on the stones delineating the path through the lush plants, processing Aliyah's answer. "Containing us is the worst possible thing the jailers could do for this city. It would be a death sentence to its culture, a culture we've kept alive and from being perverted by outside influence for 1200 years." Her voice is flat but there's a hint of a snarl in it.</p>
<p>Shrug, "Like I said. I'm not very good at being a Jailer. I don't care all that much about containing you."</p>
<p>"Mmmm.” A long moment of silence hangs in the air between them as Dr. Kurr turns her attention up towards and opening, stretching up towards the black sky of the caverns. “We find ourselves at an impasse," the Great Lady says finally. "We cannot wipe your memory, and in spite of your proclamation of not being willing to contain me, it is still the primary goal of the nebulous ouroboros you are employed by. Besides, your absence has already stretched for some time."</p>
<p>"You could kill me," she reminds her, trying to be helpful.</p>
<p>The 'Great Lady' eyes Aliyah for a long moment, before she starts walking again. "This former goddess only kills fascists."</p>
<p>"Do Jailers not count?" she asks, genuinely curious.</p>
<p>"In your own way, you said you are not a good jailer. So, you do not count, and we have no interest in a war with the Jailers, especially when some things they suppress need to be kept locked away.” She pauses again, looking down at something for but a moment. “Your death, like the death of many small things in the soil, would do nothing but spark cataclysm." She steps forward, walking again as she ducks beneath a particularly large plant, Aliyah doing much the same.</p>
<p>Heavy silence sits between them as they continue to move through the ancient foliage.</p>
<p>"What's your favorite food?"</p>
<p>"Favorite?" Dr. Kurr stops and turns to face her fully, blinking</p>
<p>"Yeah. What's your favorite thing to cook? Or to eat.”</p>
<p>The question takes Dr. Kurr off guard given the prior heavy topics of conversation. She pauses for a long moment, considering how to respond before saying, "We would have to say masgouf. Our mother made it for us when we were small, and we have never forgotten." Another portentous pause, before she sets into motion again.</p>
<p>They come to a slightly more open pavillion like structure. A grill, carefully arranged, is set beneath one of the larger sky-light openings; light smoke drifting off it. Several large fish of indeterminate species are already grilling, covered in spices, and vegetables which are grilling alongside them.</p>
<p>"You are hungry?" Dr. Kurr asks.</p>
<p>"Starved." Aliyah replies, mouth watering. "…You'd cook for me?"</p>
<p>"Of course we would." She scowls. "We're not the monsters the Jailers often make us out to be."</p>
<p>The camera feed distorts for several minutes, before eventually resolving to normal.</p>
<p>"…Well. What do you want to do?" Aliyah asks, both seated at the large table, earthenware filled with various vegetables, fruit, and fish scattered across its surface.</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr rubs her temples, leaning back in the chair. "What are the chances you can convince your superiors to leave us be?"</p>
<p>Aliyah rubs her chin. "I could try."</p>
<p>"It would help to not go back empty handed. Perhaps knowledge and wisdom will sway their perspective?"</p>
<p>Aliyah watches Dr. Kurr, color rising to her cheeks. "Maybe, depending on the information."</p>
<p>"I will tell you all that I can."</p>
<p>The camera feed abruptly ends.</p>

<p>This accursed city has made a pact with the devil. No not the devil we know. No, an old-world devil. I was called to the palace steps, and She came to me in the fullness of her power as I could only stand there and watch. Our men were aghast and taken aback in the presence of her power. Dressed in the fullness of golden armor, with a seven-bladed spear that was more shield than spear; capable of blocking any blow, and a censer that spewed acrid smoke filled with the souls of the damned. She stood there in a circle of spiked white bone, eight of our men speared like Vlad Dracul had done the deed himself, earth crackling at her feet.</p>
<p>She said nothing, she didn't need to. I could do nothing, no one could do anything, as she turned and walked into the mist.</p>

<Begin Log></p>
<p>Video feed cuts in with Dr. Kurr standing before a grand mirror in a medium sized chamber. A four poster bed decorated in maroon sheets with curtains sits at the back of the room. Intricately carved furniture of wood, bone, metal, and textiled fabric luxuriate in the warm lantern light. A desk, several shelves with large paper scrolls, chairs of varying styles, and a loveseat woven with black cushions are framed against the backdrop of hundreds of wall murals.</p>
<p>Dr. Aliyah Sarkis sits on the loveseat, watching Dr. Kurr, chin perched on the palm of one hand.</p>
<p>"Once you have finished your interrogation, we will return you to the fold of your peers."</p>
<p>"If… You say so," Aliyah says, voice twining with the barest hint of resentment at having to leave. "I'll need to contact my superiors right away. They'll certainly be interested in hearing all about this."</p>
<p>She pauses for a moment.</p>
<p>"…I mean, meeting you and seeing all of this. Not uh, last night. They don't need the details of that."</p>
<p>"It would be for the best, given the prevailing attitude among the Jailers," Dr. Kurr says, paying the comment no mind.</p>
<p>She turns her head briefly to look at Aliyah.</p>
<p>"Come, let us not waste time, ask your questions."</p>
<p>Aliyah watches her for a moment, before shaking out her limbs. "When did you actually come to Valencia?"</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr's head rolls to one side as she turns back to the mirror, taking in and considering the question as she adjusts the fabric on her dress. "822 CE in your years. A man you'd know as Ziryab smuggled us and our… There's no good word in Spanish or English for the order in which those beneath us fall. Servants is… inappropriate but closest in meaning.” She pauses for several seconds. “We were smuggled; from Baghdad to Al Andalus, and beyond the reach of the Abbasid caliph."</p>
<p>"Huh? Why did you need to be smuggled."</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr sighs. "It is a long and complicated narrative, but to put in simple terms, the Caliphate, much like the Persians before them, saw our kind as a weapon and tool of influence. Only, unlike the Persians, they did not allow ourselves to be worshiped in the old ways nor roam as freely. They also did not wish us to fall into their enemy’s hands, so we were free to roam within Baghdad, but were otherwise prisoners of the court. Valencia was very different, and you could say we fell in love."</p>
<p>"You mentioned 'our kind', and servants, does that mean there were others of your position who came along?" Aliyah gestures.</p>
<p>"Yes, but we do not wish to discuss them now. They soak in enough light as is." Dr. Kurr shifts in front of the mirror and turns fully to face Aliyah.</p>
<p>"Did you write the mythologies yourself? Or did they arise naturally?" Aliyah tilts her head. “Did they happen for real?”</p>
<p>"They arose naturally, and changed over time. At first, we were far more visible in walking in the light of the Valencian day. There is always a… thrill when one reinvents themselves, and we have many, many times. But the sons of Abraham, their ways were different, distant and from afar, so we fell away from such visible appearances in favor of a passive diaspora." She pauses considering, and then scowls. "Of course El pulled it off the best of all of us, who knows where he is feasting among his riches." She considers Aliyah’s question in regards to reality. “If you cannot tell, does it matter?”</p>
<p>"Are you saying El is—"</p>
<p>"It's doubtful he did it on his own, spoiled child he always was. But in the end it seems he won." Dr. Kurr rubs her temples before gesturing. "Ask another question before I sink into self loathing."</p>
<p>"…How were you kept from interfering with the taking of Valencia by Nationalist forces during the Civil War? The Foundation is convinced you were somehow temporarily contained."</p>
<p>"They intercepted me on a train between Barcelona and Valencia," she says, gliding across the space between them, and sitting on the loveseat. "They used some sort of cube to nullify and entrap me, and then took me to one of their facilities. They tried," she snorts in amusement. "Tried to execute me three times. I killed the guards after every attempt and after that, they figured out I could not be killed." She leans against the armrest of the loveseat, and places her chin in the palm of her hand, looking ahead as she drifts in memory.</p>
<p>"What happened to the object?"</p>
<p>"I destroyed it when their special security commission was in the process of shutting down. Killed every single fascist bastard in that facility with my bare hands and erased its existence from memory while freeing the people they'd locked up for being different. Harvested the souls of the fascists and rejuvenated my censer."</p>
<p>"The censer's important then?"</p>
<p>"In a manner of speaking."</p>
<p>Aliyah tilts her head to one side. "Gonna elaborate on that?"</p>
<p>"I would prefer not to. It is unimportant for your purposes."</p>
<p>"How did you really lose your arm?" Aliyah asks curiously, eyes going to the arm.</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr turns her head to look at the researcher, staring for several seconds. "Ask another question."</p>
<p>Aliyah, sensing the faux pas she'd made, quickly asks another as she nods. "…This is more a question just for me, than for the foundation, is there a consistent way to get here?"</p>
<p>"I will answer this last, and have you turn off your camera. Ask another question."</p>
<p>"…You gave me a list of names and titles, earlier. Are there any other ones that might be important?"</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr snorts, and then for the first time, smiles. "Have you not already put it together? I thought you were an expert."</p>
<p>"Indulge me."</p>
<p>"I find it more entertaining to allow you to shoot into the dark." Dr. Kurr gestures, flicking a finger as a disc of darkness spins briefly in the air before falling into the river of mist that swirls at their feet.</p>
<p>"Queen of the Great Earth. <span class="text-blur">Ereshkigal</span>. Or at least, you used that name once."</p>
<p>"One of many names, but a blip in a life longer than one can truly remember."</p>
<p>"What do your friends call you?"</p>
<p>"Emily. At least this is the modern transliteration."</p>
<p>"Weird. Could have sworn you said you didn't know that name weeks ago.</p>
<p><span class="text-blur">Ereshkigal</span>, Great Lady of the Earth, Witch Queen of Valencia rolls her eyes. "In spite of being a Jailer, you are amusing. If you’re done I will tell you about the gates."</p>
<p>“Wait I have one more question.”</p>
<p>“Oh?” Dr. Kurr tilted her head.</p>
<p>“Where was <span class="text-blur">Inanna</span> in that myth?”</p>
<p>Dr. Kurr wrinkles her brow in annoyance. “Stabbing herself with a ritual bone knife. Come, you will have the misfortune of meeting them soon enough. Turn off your camera and I will tell you of the ritual to pass the gates.”</p>
<p>Dr. Sarkis moves to turn off her camera and is stopped by Dr. Kurr, who kneels to look directly into the lens.</p>
<p>“El, you are a mud-eating fool to believe I wouldn’t feel your presence these past weeks. Your power is not absolute, and I see you.”</p>
<p>The camera cuts off.</p>

<p><span class="hili">Postword:</span> Following the conclusion of the broadcast, Dr. Aliyah Sarkis reappeared in the entrance lobby of Site-137. She was immediately remanded by Site Security and stripped of clearances. Her recording equipment was retrieved for analysis. She was then escorted to a containment chamber for interrogation and amnestic treatment.</p>
</div>
<p><br/></p>
<hr/>
<p>Discovery of these materials within Dr. Sarkis' personal possession, her personal notes, and the behavior observed within the incident logs indicate that as head researcher, Dr. Sarkis had deliberately conspired to obfuscate a type black anomaly in pursuit of emotional attachments. As this is a major breach of her responsibilities and abuse of her position/authority, Dr. Sarkis has been suspended from her position.</p>

<p><span class="hili">Date:</span> ██/██/████</p>
<p><span class="hili">Locations:</span> Site-137, Site-212A</p>
<p><span class="hili">Participants:</span> Dr. Emily Kurr AKA SCP-8710-01 (reclassified to SCP-8710) Dr. Aliyah Sarkis, Various Security Agents.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Foreword:</span> Following containment of Dr. Aliyah Sarkis, residents of SCP-8710 became overtly hostile, undercover agents were driven from the city, their identities as Foundation employees revealed through unknown means. At approximately 11:03 CEST, communication with Site-137 was disrupted for approximately 10 minutes. Following this disruption, O5-01-03 Dr. Sherry Andrews received a missive arranging a meeting at a secluded location.</p>
<hr/>
<p><Begin Log></p>
<p><span class="hili"><11:03 CEST></span></p>
<p>Lights flicker across Site-137.</p>
<p><Containment Wing></p>
<p>The cameras in the containment wing where Dr. Aliyah Sarkis is being held capture three guards on station. Due to Site-137's low activity, only one actively walks up and down examining each cell while the other two guards are looking at their phones.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 1:</span> "Hey, did you just lose internet access?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 2:</span> "Yeah I did. Hey! Did you just lose internet?"</p>
<p>Guard 3 pulls out their phone and taps the screen several times.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 3:</span> "Yeah. They're probably just replacing or tweaking the modem. Wait hold on, I'm not getting any cell signal either?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 1:</span> "Well no duh dumbass. We're three stories belowground. I'd be more worried if you did get cell service."</p>
<p>Lights flicker in the containment wing.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 2:</span> "Light circuits must be on the fritz."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 1:</span> "Lets report this to maintenance now; just in case some fuse blows somewhere."</p>
<p>Guard 1 activates his radio.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 1:</span> "This is containment wing to maintenance, we've lost wifi signal down here and the lights are flickering, there might be some electrical or circuit fault. Can you send someone to handle it?"</p>
<p>All three guards listen as nothing but static comes back through the radio.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 1:</span> "That's weird."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 2:</span> "Here let me try, you probably just forgot to set your frequencies again. Maintenance we've got some sort of electrical/circuit issue going on in containment, can you send someone down to handle it?"</p>
<p>They listen again. Once more only static comes back through the radio .</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 3:</span> "Maybe we're experiencing one of those CME events."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 1:</span> "A what?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 3:</span> "Coronal mass ejection events."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 2:</span> "You've been watching too many disaster movies."</p>
<p>Blue-green mist rolls into the hallway from a side-corridor. None of the guards notice. Lights in Site-137's containment wing abruptly cut off.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 1:</span> "Shit! What's going on?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 2:</span> "Blackout?"</p>
<p>Camera microphones pick up static from the guards’ radios.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 3:</span> "Radios are totally busted, I can't turn mine off."</p>
<p>Guard 1 turns on their flashlight, but it only penetrates the darkness for a short distance. The flashlight's bulb flickers repeatedly. Blue-green fog coats the floor as the microphone picks up the sound of creaking and straining metal over the radio static.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 1:</span> "What the hell?"</p>
<p>The static over the radio's changes to a single distorted voice singing and accompanied by a melody consistent with tones produced by music boxes.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 2:</span> "Who's there?"</p>
<p>A thump echoes; something heavy landing on the floor. The creaking metal and music grows louder.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 3:</span> "Fucking hell, it got cold all of the sudden."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 1:</span> "There's something in the dark! I can see it moving."</p>
<p>A growling vocalization echoes in the hallway. Guard 1 sees something the camera does not.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 1:</span> "What the fuck is that!"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Guard 2:</span> "Hostile! Open fire! Open fire!"</p>
<p>Muzzle flashes fill the hallway as the Guards shoot into the dark, illuminating many different shapes and shadows. Microphones pick up the screaming of the guards as the sound of sloshing liquids, ripping metal, and cracking bone fill the air.</p>
<p>After approximately thirty seconds, all sounds of struggle cease. All that can be heard is the song and melody coming through the Guards’ radios.</p>
<p>After approximately one minute, the lights in the hallway flicker on, all three containment guards are pinned to the wall in cocoons of bone, shadow, or rocks. The door to Dr. Aliyah Sarkis' containment chamber is ripped off its hinges. Blue-green mist lingers in the hallway.</p>
<hr/>
<p><Site-212A></p>
<p>Dr. Sherry Andrews enters a makeshift, temporary office arranged for her after promotion to O5-01-03. She sits at the desk and logs into the extranet. Lights in the room flicker, and a blue-green smog leaks from beneath the door of a closet.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Dafuck?"</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews lightly hits the monitor and then the tower of her computer. She waits for a moment and then presses a button on the phone on her desk.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Hey Desiree, my internet’s out, checked the ethernet cord and it's still plugged in."</p>
<p>She listens for a response, but all that comes back is the dial tone. She stares at the phone and taps the button again.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Desiree? Can you hear me?"</p>
<p>No response. Lights in the room flicker, drawing Dr. Andrews' attention up, and then they abruptly cut out.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Oh fuck this."</p>
<p>The sound of a baton unfolding, and a gun being cocked are picked up by the microphone. Lights cut back on. The room is unchanged with the exception of an owl made of bone perched on Dr. Andrews' desk. It is a meter tall and has an envelope in its beak.</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews stares at the necromantic construct, baton extended in one hand, gun pointed at the owl in the other.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Owl:</span> <em>Muffled</em> "Hooo."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Well aren't you fucking something."</p>
<p>The owl drops the letter on the desk.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Owl:</span> "Hooo."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Alright, creepy owl messengers, lovely start to the day. What do you want, a mouse?"</p>
<p>The owl turns on the desk, shuffles its wings, and then takes off, vanishing.</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews waits for five seconds, frowning before she holsters the pistol and collapses the baton.</p>
<p>She picks up the letter.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Jesus fucking Christ really? Leep's going to have a fit."</p>
<p><End Log></p>
<p><span class="hili">Postword:</span> Following Incident I-8710-01 and I-8710-02, SCP-8710's documentation has been updated to reflect the source of the historical anomaly. Dr. Sherry Andrews arranged an accompanying entourage to handle negotiations with SCP-8710 in a neutral site of historic importance.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Grenze Gotisch ; font-size: 1.5rem">To the representative of the Warden Shadow Council,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Grenze Gotisch ; font-size: 1.5rem">In the interest of putting to bed further conflict with your organization, and to preserve our own sovereignty and resources, we invite you to sit with us among the ruins of another world.

<p><span style="font-family: Grenze Gotisch ; font-size: 1.5rem">Your first inclination will be to deny this response and prepare methodologies to contain us based on what you now know. We have freed Dr. Aliyah Sarkis from your jail cells, and she possesses intimate knowledge of your organization. We believe a peaceful resolution that satisfies all parties is possible. Whilst we do not believe you will do so with this revelation, should you attempt to contain or double cross us, we will reveal your organization to the world, and dismantle it systematically.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Grenze Gotisch ; font-size: 1.5rem">Though we do believe based on our own investigation, our goals are not altogether misaligned. You may bring whoever, and however many you wish to this meeting such that you feel secure.</span></p>

<p><span class="hili">Date:</span> ██/██/████</p>
<p><span class="hili">Locations:</span> Kutha, Iraq</p>
<p><span class="hili">Participants:</span> Dr. Emily Kurr AKA SCP-8710-01 (reclassified to SCP-8710), Unknown Type Black Entity 'Abigail' (E-8710-02), Unknown Type Black Entity 'Aleah' (E-8710-03), O5-01-03 Dr. Sherry Andrews, Omega-12 ("Achilles Heels") and MTF Psi-8 ("The Silencers").</p>
<p><span class="hili">Foreword:</span> Following reception of SCP-8710's invitation, O5-01-03 Dr. Sherry Andrews flew to Baghdad, Iraq with MTF Omega-12 ("Achilles Heels") and MTF Psi-8 "The Silencers". Global Foundation forces were put on alert for a potential HK-Class Deific Subjugation scenario.</p>
<hr/>
<p><Begin Log></p>
<p>Dr. Andrews's retinue arrives outside of Kutha as cameras begin recording. The two settlement mounds which normally occupy the site have been replaced by an ontokinetic disturbance, a large structure composed of multiple rising towers focused around a central complex taking their place. She begins walking towards the ontokinetic deviation and crosses a boundary upon which the camera view abruptly changes. An endless ocean of water stretches before the camera towards the large complex. Stars are reflected in the water, and the camera tilts up catching a large celestial body in the sky three times the size of the moon.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup></p>
<p>Dr. Andrews and her MTF retinue are escorted to a central chamber with walls and floors that bend and twist in unnatural ways. Multiple seating arrangements are already prepared, as well as several tables with large arrays of foods and drinks.</p>
<p>Three figures come into view, though the camera is unable to clearly resolve their features as one (SCP-8710) is cloaked completely in darkness, and the remaining two (E-8710-02 and E-8710-03) are obscured by intense light generation that leaves only their outlines visible.</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "Welcome, Shadow Warden, and your lovely very heavily armed escort. Sit, eat, drink, be merry. No need to come storming in like we're going right to war eh?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Drop the friendly act and the games right at the door. You have us by the balls at the moment and I'm not super keen to waste any time in resolving this before it spins out of control."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews pulls the sunglasses out of her hair and puts them on.</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-03:</span> "Does preventing an uncontrolled spin not consist of defusing tensions?"</p>
<p>E-8710-03 claps twice and multiple humanoid shaped entities emerge from several doors with trays of jewelry, precious metal bars, copper figurines, and two white stallions.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Are these… bribes? Are you trying to bribe me?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "Hardly. This is tradition, exchanging of gifts, feasting upon food and drink whilst discussing matters of state. We don't want war, and we acknowledge the role your organization plays in stabilizing the world, no matter if we disagree with the methods and approach."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Funny assertion that, given what you've just done in Valencia and in Site-137."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews points at SCP-8710-01.</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "A regrettable shot across the bow. It would have been unnecessary if our olive branch hadn't been tossed in a cell."</p>
<p>E-8710-02 claps twice cutting off any further escalation.</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "We want the same thing here. This line of conversation will get us nowhere."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Do we? Do we really? I am a very busy woman Ms…"</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "You can call me Abigail."</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-03:</span> "Aleah."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Ms. Abigail and Aleah. From my perspective, I've flown half-way across the world to handle a possible broken-veil scenario before it starts. I would hope you could see how wasting my time playing out an ancient political dance, with a bunch of half-pint wannabee gods who are stuck thousands of years in the past, is trying my patience."</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "We do not do that anymore."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Which part?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "Play gods."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews' throws up her hands.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Sure, whatever you tell yourself to help you sleep at night. The point stands."</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-03:</span> "Is that not your ultimate goal though?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "What?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "Collapsing the veil."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews jaw clenches.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "How di— Divine Authority?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "Yes, to all of our detriment."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews rubs her temples before turning to one of the MTF.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Cut that part from the footage."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Ω-1:</span> "Yes Ma'am."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews turns back to the three entities.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "You're really pushing your luck diving into my head. If you want anything to come from this, stay out."</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "Less your head than your desires. Fair enough though."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews draws a hand down her face. She says something the camera does not pick up.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "If you're done fucking around and wasting my time, can we actually get to what I came here for?"</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews breathes deeply for several seconds.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Ok. First, where is she?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-03:</span> "Where is who?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "Oh, oh are we playing the pronoun game now?"</p>
<p>SCP-8710-01 shifts in the darkness, pressing the outline of a hand to what is assumed to be her face.</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "Please be quiet Abigail, unless you are contributing seriously."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews jaw clenches.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "I meant Dr. Sarkis."</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "She is stowed away in a safe location, alive and well. She has a proclivity to… deflate the atmosphere."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "What?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "She undermines Gravitas."</p>
<p>An unreadable expression crosses Dr. Andrews’ face.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Ok then? Listen if you're not going to take this seriously, and you're not going to let me talk to Dr. Sarkis, why am I here?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "You came to hear our proposal."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews bangs her hand on the table, startling two nearby MTF operatives.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Then can we fucking get to that!?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "In fairness you asked about Dr. Sarkis. That said, we'll stop screwing with you."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews clenches her fists and jaw in emotional distress, before she leans back on the couch and picks up a pastry, nearly crushing it in-between her fingers as she eats. She breathes deeply for several minutes while eating the pastry, before gesturing for E-8710-02 to go ahead.</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "Obviously, Emily desires to be left alone in her work, as do we. We want the Jailers— the Foundation to pull all resources and monitoring of unusual activity in Valencia and Ibiza. No more trying to wipe people's memories, no more book and video burning."</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-03:</span> "We want free and open transit with the outside world, an open port for supernatural occurrences and beings to flourish."</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "We want Dr. Sarkis reinstated in her position, and for her to serve as liaison between us, and your organization."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "That's 2.7 fucking million people! Why not just move to 3-Ports for fucks sake, or one of the other nexus locations? Outrageous, there's no way I would agree to that."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews gestures, frowning as her eyes narrow.</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "We weren't finished."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews holds her palm out flat, indicating for them to continue.</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "In exchange we will suppress any and all posts on internet sites, social media, television programs, film or outbound phone communications about anything supernatural in Valencia and Ibiza."</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-03:</span> "We will also offer intimate knowledge on particularly dangerous supernatural circumstances, beings, or creatures that should be suppressed and removed from harming themselves or others."</p>

<p>Dr. Andrews sits up. Her eyes move to SCP-8710-01, then E-8710-02 and -03, before returning to -01.</p>
<p>She leans forward, picks up several plates of food, and stands.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "I need to make some calls."</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "Is that a yes?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "That's a 'I need to make some <em>calls</em>.' Will you still be here in a few days?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "Of course. But do not tarry long, as we will take that to be a no."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews and her retinue leave the room and the complex, returning to their vehicles.</p>

<hr/>
<p><span class="hili">Postword:</span>Onsite readings indicated Akiiva radiation in excess of what the handheld sensors could detect, thus SCP-8710-01, -02, and -03 have been classified as Beasts of Nature. Following the meeting; Dr. Sherry Andrews contacted her Co-Overseer, O5-01-04 Leep Andrews. Following intensive discussion, a Meeting of the O5 council was convened. The initial proposal failed with a vote of 3-8-2. Dr. Sherry Andrews offered a modified proposal, which then passed with a 6-5-2 majority.</p>

<p><span class="hili">Date:</span> ██/██/████</p>
<p><span class="hili">Locations:</span> Kutha, Iraq</p>
<p><span class="hili">Participants:</span> Dr. Emily Kurr AKA SCP-8710-01 (reclassified to SCP-8710), Unknown Beast of Nature 'Abigail' (E-8710-02), Unknown Beast of Nature 'Aleah' (E-8710-03), O5-01-03 Dr. Sherry Andrews, Omega-12 ("Achilles Heels") and MTF Psi-8 ("The Silencers").</p>
<p><span class="hili">Foreword:</span> Following meeting of the O5 council, and political lobbying, Dr. Andrews returned to Kutha to present a modified proposal to SCP-8710 and the two additional Beasts of Nature.</p>
<hr/>
<p><Begin Log></p>
<p>Dr. Andrews walks into the negotiation chamber with her accompanying retinue. SCP-8710-01 through -03 look up from the various positions in which they are seated upon the couches. She sits in place, picking up a plate of food and a cup full of wine.</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "Welcome back Dr. Andrews. We began to believe you would not return."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "It's been an annoyingly long week. I'm not going to beat around the bush, the council did not like your proposal."</p>
<p>E-8710-02 holds out a hand, and a very bright shaft of light forms in the obscured hand, as a noticeable blue-green fog begins to seep across the floors.</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01,-02,-03 in unison:</span> "We see."</p>
<p>Omega-12 and Psi-8 tense.</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews holds up a hand.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "So I made a modified proposal."</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "Those were not the ter—"</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "Hush Emily, compromise is part of the game."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "It sure fucking is."</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-03:</span> "Please continue."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "The Foundation will withdraw all surveillance resources from within Valencia… and Ibiza. You will have sole dominion over those areas, and we'll be declaring them free ports for anomalous individuals to live untouched. We will establish monitoring stations outside the bounds of your influence in the event of spillover. This will be the status quo as long as you do as you've offered in filtering any anomalous material off platforms that could leak to the outside world."</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "I think that's acceptable, but I have a feeling you're not done."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Correct."</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews crosses one leg over the other and has a sip of water from a canteen.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "In addition to this, Dr. Sarkis will not be reinstated in her former position. Instead, she will be moved to my office, and serve as direct liaison between you, and any other surprise Beasts of Nature that happen to pop up, facilitating communication to me directly."</p>
<p>SCP-8710-01 shifts in place.</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "These were not the terms but are an acceptable alternative."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Good. Any further communication will be conducted under the confines of OPERATION HIGH TIDE. Additionally, while you initially offered information on the location of materials relevant to the Finnfolk, the council felt this was insufficient on its own to counterbalance the benefits you gain. We wish to gather some more information relevant to an operation occurring with an undercover member of the Serpent's hand who is planning to defect."</p>
<p>E-8710-02 leans forward.</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-02:</span> "We have nothing to do with the Hand."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "But you do know about other mythological beings."</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "We do, but what is the relevance?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "Two upcoming operations, with the latter one we believe being of interest to you."</p>
<p><span class="hili">E-8710-03:</span> "You're being cryptic."</p>
<p><span class="hili">SCP-8710-01:</span> "I am enjoying this, please finish."</p>
<p><span class="hili">Dr. Andrews:</span> "What do you know about Atalanta?"</p>
<p>Dr. Andrews turns to the MTF operator handling the camera and makes a motion across her neck with her hand. The camera cuts off.</p>
<p><End Recorded Log></p>
<hr/>
<p><span class="hili">Postword:</span> Following the second diplomatic meeting, an official cooperative agreement was organized and signed recognizing Valencia and Ibiza as free ports for anomalous individuals. Foundation resources monitoring these locations were withdrawn and SCP-8710's documentation has been flagged for significant updates to reflect identification of the source of the anomaly, and the current hands-off containment protocols being enforced.</p>
<p>Foundation agents have been implanted within the Horizon Initiative and upper echelons of the Catholic Church in an attempt to identify the source of deific interference detected in Incident Logs 1-3.</p>
<p>Further inquiries should be addressed to O5-01's office at this time.</p>

<p><strong>Containment Procedures:</strong><br/>
The surrounding area near SCP-8722<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> is to be blocked off with a 10-foot tall chain-link fence. The fence must be inspected every 8 hours for any sign of damage by someone Level-2 or higher. Anyone found inside who is not level-2 or higher is to be administered Class-A amnestics. At least 5 Omega-78's 'Dimension Hoppers' are on standby in case the anomalous entities try escaping the fence. Foundation Personnel must contact Site-390 and follow Protocol Capsaicin if there is an anomalous event.</p>
<p><strong>Protocol Capsaicin:</strong><br/>
Protocol Capsaicin should only be utilized when an anomalous event occurs, such as an entity appearing, unintelligible whispers, or sudden hallucinations.<br/>
Personnel should immediately contact Site-390 and request at least 5 Class-D's to be sent over to protect Foundation Personnel from being killed by the entities.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup><br/>
Any Foundation Personnel inside the dimension must be quickly evacuated until all anomalous events cease.<br/>
Afterward, personnel must use foundation-approved noise-canceling headphones and may only take them off until the anomalous event(s) stop.</p>
<p><strong>Following Incident 'Hopscotch' Foundation Personnel are barred from entering. Personnel Level-2 or higher are to check the cameras thrice daily for potential damages -Dr. Collins.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Descriptions:</strong><br/>
SCP-8722-1 is a portal that leads to a dimension that contains two anomalous entities. The portal is 3 feet in length and 5 feet in height. The center of the portal displays what the dimension looks like. In the distance, there is a large tree that serves as a hub for the anomalous entities, and to the left is a dense forest with a thick fog covering the ground.</p>

</div>
<p>SCP-8722-2 are large tree-like creatures that take the form of a Quaking Aspen in our dimension. SCP-8722-2 instances are approximately 40 to 50 feet tall, with the majority being around 45 feet. SCP-8722-2 has eyes across its body, with each eye varying in size. These eyes, when visible, will watch the nearest person until they leave. SCP-8722-2 is neutral and won't attack unless something attacks it first. SCP-8722-2 is only docile towards SCP-8722-3 and serves as a protector. When it attempts to attack someone, it will wait for the person to have their back turned. SCP-8722-2 cannot be recorded or photographed, with any image or video becoming extremely distorted and blurred.</p>
<p>SCP-8722-3 is a group of faeries that range from 1 foot tall to 3 feet at maximum. SCP-8722-3 instances possess anomalous abilities such as being able to heal others, memory projection, and hallucinations. SCP-8722-3 can also lure in humans with their whispers to make it easier to kill them.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> SCP-8722-3 has wings protruding from their upper and lower back. Each SCP-8722-3 instance has a different variation of its wings, while family units tend to have a few similarities. SCP-8722-3 instances value and treat their wings with great respect; when one instance dies, the family will carefully remove the wings and grind them down into a fine powder. After this, the powder goes into a small pouch and is put at the tree's base.</p>
<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> SCP-8722 was found on 2020/12/15 near Mount Charleston, Nevada. Dr. Wellins was subconsciously drawn to the area near SCP-8722 around 13:25. Upon realizing they were off the trail, they heard whispering and saw the eyes staring at them.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Good afternoon, Dr. Wellins. I assume I don't need to introduce myself, correct?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "Yeah, we can skip the greetings."</p>
<p><em>Dr. Jackson nodded and looked down at her notes.</em><br/>
<strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Alright then. Could you tell me more about your encounter?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "Yeah, okay, uhm… I was at Mount Charleston for a vacation, needed to get away from anomalies for a while."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "I got up that morning around 9 AM, or was it 11… No, wait, it was around 1 PM, and I decided to go on this trail I found the other day. I remember I wasn't even halfway through, and then I just was somewhere completely different. It's like when you black out after drinking."</p>
<p><em>Dr. Jackson wrote down what Dr. Wellins said and motioned with her hand for Wellins to continue.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "You know those gut feelings you get when something's wrong? I felt that throughout my body. There was whispering all around me like it was inside my head. At that point, I thought I was just stressed from work, but then I saw these eyes. I don't know, but it was like I was frozen in place."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Do you think it was the anomaly causing you to feel frozen?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "No… I think it was just fear and panic. A part of me thought I was about to die, honestly."<br/>
<strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Did these eyes do anything else?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "Well, the eyes were attached to a tree, then one blinked at me I swore I saw the entire tree move. After that I tried running back to the cabin. Cowardly, I know… but if I hadn't, I wouldn't have found the portal. I didn't go in, of course. That's why we have MTF; they can do the horrifying part. I'd rather sit in the lab."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "I don't think anyone would have expected you to go in, Dr. Wellins."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "Thanks. I just uh, felt like a coward after I got out of there; I'm supposed to be a foundation researcher, y'know."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "I can see why you think that, but as you said yourself, you are a researcher. It's good that you got away and contacted the Foundation."</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wellins nodded but remained silent. Dr. Jackson stepped out of her seat, and Dr. Wellins did as well. The two doctors shook hands, and Dr. Jackson left soon after.</em></p>

Omega-78 entered the portal around 01:00. Inside; the dimension was daylight compared to ours being night. The area closest to the portal was empty. SCP-8722-2 and SCP-8722-3 instances were near the tree and hadn't noticed the team. As the team moved farther away from the portal, the body cameras and the microphones started to glitch and distort and only returned to normal once they returned to our dimension.</p>

It's the third of January, and I've been notified that I will enter the dimension on directors' orders. He says I have to go there for a few months and stay at an Outpost. I haven't been able to catch a break in days. First, I found this place, then the interview, and now I'm going in. I've packed a small bag, knowing it's going to be dull in there.</p>

<p><strong>Date:</strong> 2021/01/05<br/>
Tomorrow is the day a small research team, and I will enter. About an hour ago, I also discovered that I will be one of the leads on this Project. I don't know who the second lead is, but I pray they're relaxed. I want to avoid being stuck with someone who's a suck-up.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 2021/01/08<br/>
The other lead is Warren. Warren Collins, people say hate is a strong word, but it's one of the few words that can describe how I feel about him. All he does is boss me around and taunt me. It takes all the strength within me not to snap at him and have to go back to anger management classes. I'm emailing our site director to get Warren booted out of the Project.</p>

<p><strong>Another Excerpt from Orias' Personal Journal.</strong><br/>
<strong>Date:</strong> 2021/01/17<br/>
Sorry I haven't written here in a few days. I've been busy organizing notes and preparing for an interview tomorrow with an instance of SCP-8722-3. They've been one of the few instances that have approached us; they seem docile enough that they haven't attacked us yet. I wanted to nickname the instance, though we could only agree on SCP-8722-3A. We've only been here for a bit, and I'm already tired of this sunny limbo; it's annoying. Everything here seems too chipper; aside from the creepy forest, it's like the place in your fairytale books where the evil witch lives.</p>

<p>Orias' cot was empty when Warren woke up the next day. When he looked at the small clock he had with him, the time read 7 AM. He asked the other researchers around him if any had seen Orias, and they all declined. Warrens initially thought Orias had finally had enough of him and returned to Site-390. He made a mental note to email the director after the interview to ask about Orias. Warrens's thoughts about Orias subsided, and he focused on preparing for the interview with SCP-8722-3A. While preparing for the interview, he kept looking back toward the journal left on Orias' cot.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 1.1: Abilities</strong><br/>
On 2021/01/18, Dr. Collins interviewed with an instance of SCP-8722-3. During this interview, he saw memories that SCP-8722-3A gave him; he believes that SCP-8722-3A did this as a form of communication.</p>
<p>The memories Dr. Collins saw were of an instance of SCP-8722-3 healing 8722-3A after getting hurt. Then, another played with SCP-8722-3A, healing another instance.</p>
<p>The next memory Dr. Collins saw was a younger version of 8722-3A, which was causing another to have hallucinations and then laugh at the instance. After that was 8722-3A, and a different instance, the second one, caused Orias to see Warren, and 8722-3A spoke rapidly in an unintelligible language. Eventually, 8722-3A got the other to stop, but Orias was already deep in the forest.</p>
<p>The next few memories were 8722-3A, carefully removing wings off another instance. The instance looked old, and the other 8722-3s looked all upset. 8722-3A started to grind the wings into a fine powder and carefully poured it into a pouch; the group of SCP-8722s followed 8722-3A outside of the house and watched as 8722-3A placed the pouch on the ground.</p>
<p>Dr. Collins saw SCP-8722-3 luring humans and killing them just to eat them later, like cows in a slaughterhouse. 8722-3A quickly showed him a memory of 8722-3A healing another instance again, and Dr. Collins believes it was an attempt to calm him down.</p>

I finished an interview with an instance of SCP-8722-3, and it was concerning. They can project their memories, and one of their memories was Orias being tricked into entering the forest.

<p><strong>A Brief Excerpt from Warrens's notes</strong><br/>
It's been hours since I emailed Richard about this, yet I'm replaying these memories. A huge part of me doubts that Orias went into the forest; no sane person would. They're a doctor, for fucks sake; no way they'd willingly walk into a forest by themselves in a strange dimension. Even though a member of the Foundation is missing, I still need to continue my work. The next thing I want to do is get those bags of powder I saw in the memories. If it's as important as 8722-3A made it seem, then it's worth testing.</p>

Weeks passed, and numerous teams went near the forest to search for Orias, though they were limited to how far they could go. Warren was doubtful that Orias was even alive; there were no signs that Orias was near the forest other than the strange memory 8722-3A gave him. Warren had been conducting more tests using the powder; he knew that if Orias had been here, there would have been so many delays and setbacks; a part of him was enjoying Orias' absence in some twisted way.
<p>When everyone got used to Orias being missing, Orias showed up. They were scared, and they looked severely beaten. Orias was taken into custody and was quarantined for 24 hours. After 24 hours, Orias was interviewed to determine if they could return to work.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Hello, Dr. Wellins, my name is Dr. Jackson, and I'll be interviewing you today."</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wellins was silent but nodded slightly in response to Dr. Sopilia.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "You haven't spoken much since being quarantined. How are you feeling?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "I could be better, but hey at least I'm not dead!"</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wellins smiled and let out a shaky laugh.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Is it fine if I ask you a few questions, Dr. Wellins?"</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wellins shrugged and leaned back in the chair.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "You're just going to ask no matter what I say, and it's not like I can say no when my job is on the line, right?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Dr. Wellins, do you need to take a minute to collect yourself before we continue?"</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wellins shook their head and rubbed their face.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "No, No, I'm ready. I'm ready."</p>
<p><em>Dr. Jackson nodded, looked down at her notes, and then back up toward Dr. Wellins.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "So, what caused you to walk into the forest?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "Thought I saw Dr. Collins calling me over; I…I had no idea it was some trick from SCP-8722-3."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "It's all right, Dr. Wellins. Warren is your colleague. Of course, you'd follow after him."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "What happened after you realised it was a trick?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "I tried backtracking but saw the eyes again. It still made me feel frozen like the first time. I tried backing away, but it chased after me and attacked me."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "That must have been traumatic. How would you feel about returning to the dimension?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "I don't know… One part of me wants to return because I have an obligation, and the other wants to stay here."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Both those feelings are valid, which are you leaning towards more?"</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wellins shrugged and looked off to the side of the room.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "I'm supposed to be honest right?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Yes, this is supposed to measure if your able to return to work."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "I want to return, I found the anomaly after all, and I want to understand why one healed me."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Healed you? Does this relate to what happened in the forest?"</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wellins' personality changed drastically; they seemed more upbeat, determined, and possibly manic.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "Oh shit, right. Yeah, it does relate to in there. I glossed over that. This happened a few minutes after I was attacked; I was running, trying to weave between trees, but when you have a wound in your stomach, I don't think running is any good."</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wellins laughed and grinned.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "So after bleeding out all over the ground, SCP-8722-3A, one of the few anomalies that are brave, or even curious enough that was approaching days prior, somehow found me, probably the blood trail."</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wellins took a deep breath and leaned back in the chair.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "It showed me some memories of them being healed, and them healing others. It was telling me it wanted to help me, or that's how I interpreted it, but I don't think it understood humans much because what they did kinda fucked me up in more ways than one."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "As it was healing you, it changed you?"</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wellins nodded, an enthusiastic grin on their face; they seemed more upbeat as time passed.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "I can't say precisely what changed about me, but I just feel different, in a good way."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "I'm glad you're feeling rather happy admist all of this."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "Isn't it good to remain positive?"</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "It's very much dependent on the siutation."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "Agree to dissagree, Jackson."</p>
<p><em>Dr. Jackson looked down at their notes and then glanced up at Dr. Wellins. After a few minutes, they cleared their throat and spoke.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jackson:</strong> "Well, good news, I think you're able to return to work; you seem much happier, which is a good sign. You might have to stay under quarantine for a couple more days, but ultimately you'll return to the Project."'</p>

<strong>Summary of events:</strong> Around 09:00, Dr. Wellins approached Dr. Collins regarding Project 8722. Dr. Collins tried brushing off Dr. Wellins, but Dr. Wellins continued to try to speak with Dr. Collins. Dr. Wellins brought up a concern regarding anomalies SCP-8722-2 and SCP-8722-3 and wanted to halt the retrieval of the powder pouches. Dr. Collins almost laughed in Dr. Wellin's face, and Dr. Wellins continued, bringing up data charts and observation notes from different researchers. Dr. Collins immediately told Dr. Wellins that nothing was happening and that Dr. Wellins was trying to hinder the Project.</p>
<p>The conversation increased, with Dr. Wellins and Dr. Collins getting heated. Dr. Collins insulted Dr. Wellins, and then the argument spiraled into a psychical altercation that ended in Dr. Collins getting treatment for a broken nose.<br/>

Around 15:23, Warren sent a team towards the tree to retrieve more powder. As the team approached the area, they noted no presence of 8722-2 or 8722-3. The team managed to recover a few pouches, and as they were about to return, an instance of SCP-8722-2 attacked the team, killing three members before the team could kill the anomaly.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="font-size:large;">I told you we should have stopped. Look at the notes, Warren; I've been spending my time watching the patterns; taking the fucking powder is killing them. You need to stop, whatever bullshit tests you are doing aren't worth this. When the last dies, you'll be the only one around. The only comfort you will find is your guilt.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:large;"><strong>Another note was found near Orias' journal written by Warren.</strong></span>
<div style="border:solid 1px #000000; background:#9E891F ; padding:5px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="font-size:large;">Orias, I appreciate you taking the time to make these notes; however, after reviewing them, I found they are unreliable since there is no proof that they have been dying. I hope that you are not falsifying evidence to try and hinder the Project -Warren Collins.</span></p>

<strong>Excerpt From Orias' Personal Journal detailing Incident Hopscotch</strong>
<div class="darkbox">
<p><strong>Date::</strong> 2021/04/03<br/>
Weeks have passed since we've seen any sign from SCP-8722-2 and SCP-8722-3. Hell, I haven't seen 8722-3A in a while either. Something tells me that we aren't going to see them again. Warren forced the team to return to the tree almost every few days, and there was always nothing there. I think Warren is finally starting to realize how badly he fucked up; he keeps trying to bother me while I'm working on reports.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 2021/04/07<br/>
Still no sign of the anomalies. I would walk over there and see if 8722-3A is okay, but it's hard to move around since I'm still in pain. Warren finally managed to speak to me, he apologized, and I told him it was too late. I put in a request to be sent back to site-390. A putrid odor started to wash over the Outpost, and I could tell we all smelled it.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 2021/04/12<br/>
Communications were just cut, and the others are trying to restore the power. The endless sunny days have been replaced with a menacing fog and a black sky. This has to be Warren's fault for being greedy; that's the only explanation. I feel the eyes staring at me again, but with the low visibility, we need to reconsider staying.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 2021/04/16<br/>
It was horrible. It was chaotic. That is why we haven't seen any instances of SCP-8722-2 or SCP-8722-3; most of them had died out, and that is what the putrid smell was, too. God. I let this happen; I should have punched Warren sooner or forced him out of the Project.</p>
<p>A lot of innocent people died that day. I barely managed to get Warren out of there. He looked terrified. All I remember hearing from him was him praying to god to forgive him. An instance of SCP-8722-2 broke his leg, so I had to carry him out of the portal. Because of that, I got a cool few scars on my face and arms.</p>
<p>The portals are gone now, too; I think SCP-8722-3 was keeping it open through some magic. They didn't deserve to have their home destroyed; they were kind, innocent creatures that were just living in a weird limbo-esque dimension., and then they died trying to defend their home. It's almost poetic.</p>

<span style="font-size:large;"><strong>Audio Log 35 2024/01/15</strong></span>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size:larger;"><strong><BEGIN LOG></strong></span><br/>
<em>There's muffled breathing and then a deep sigh.</em><br/>
<strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "Audio log 35. I had another nightmare. It's been a couple of months since I've had one.</p>
<p><em>There was soft laughter, then another deep breath.</em><br/>
<strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "It's funny, I thought I wasn't having any more of those nightmares. The eyes are still watching me sometimes. Doctors say it's just paranoia and insomnia."<br/>
<em>There was a brief pause.</em><br/>
"I wasn't supposed to be going to work today, but damn, I need something to distract myself, and it's better than alcohol."<br/>
<em>Orias laughed again, which sounded more pained this time.</em><br/>
<strong>Dr. Wellins:</strong> "Okay, I'm going to go… if I don't go now then I'll be stuck in this room all day until Warren drags me out."<br/>
<span style="font-size:larger;"><strong><END LOG></strong></span></p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<p>Orias stood up from their desk and closed their laptop. They looked towards their old journal, which was left collecting dust on their desk. They rubbed their eyes, trying to rub the sleep off. They threw on their lab coat and looked around for their glasses and keycard. They found both on a small tray near the door. They reached for the door handle when they heard a notification from their laptop. They sighed and shuffled back to their desk, muttering under their breath.</p>
<p>They opened their laptop and saw it was an email from Warren. They shook their head and clicked on the email.</p>
<div class="darkbox">
<p>TO: <span class="wiki-email">teN.iPCS|snillewairo#teN.iPCS|snillewairo</span><br/>
FROM: <span class="wiki-email">teN.iPCS|snillocrraw#teN.iPCS|snillocrraw</span><br/>
SUBJECT: I need your help</p>
<hr/>
<p>Orias, I'm heading to your room. It's some assistance with a report that you can surely handle. Please, for the love of god, don't instigate me today; this report needed to be done by this morning.<br/>
- Dr. Warren Collins</p>
</div>
<p>Orias groaned as they closed their laptop again. They weren't upset; it was something to keep their mind busy, after all. Orias opened their door, looked down the hall, and saw Warren approaching rapidly. Orias chuckled, closed the door, and leaned against it.</p>
<p>"Doctor."</p>
<p>Warren stopped and nodded toward Orias. He looked exasperated. Orias walked over to Warren and took some of the papers he was holding with a grin on their face.</p>
<p>"This must have been difficult if you are asking me for help. I thought the great Doctor Warren doesn't need help?"</p>
<p>"I'll admit, there are some things that you know better than me. Not a lot but there are some."</p>
<p>The two began walking back towards Warrens's office, with one of the two making the occasional sarcastic remark about the other. This wasn't how either of them expected their day to go, but neither could entirely complain.</p>

<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures</strong></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>The area surrounding SCP-8724 has been cordoned off, and a preventative perimeter has been placed around the site. Following the initial exploration of SCP-8724, personnel are forbidden from entering the premises. RAISA is to regularly check Foundation employee records for any individual with the name ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓.</p>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>SCP-8724 is an abandoned building in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. The structure is composed of a single floor of residential space, with no evident anomalous characteristics from the exterior. SCP-8724's main anomalous effect is its ability to manifest a weak electrical field around the structure, which interferes with electronic devices and causes abnormalities in recording equipment.</p>
<p>No other anomalous phenomena are present within SCP-8724.</p>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>Discovery</strong></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>SCP-8724's existence was first made known to the Foundation after a routine check of SCP-▓▓▓▓ revealed a series of messages left by ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ <strong>7</strong> prior to the conclusion of their assignment. Despite the presence of multiple aberrations in tone and style when compared to official Foundation documentation for unclassified anomalies, the matter was deemed important enough to warrant an investigation into 12 of the ▓▓ anomalies described within the recovered information. To this end, Specialized Task Force Chicot-1 was established as a series of semi-independent agents operating simultaneously on identifying these anomalies.</p>
<p>On May 7th, 2024, Agent Sarah Howards, operating under said Specialized Task Force, would first report encountering SCP-8724.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-38790-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-38790-1')">1</a></sup></p>
<p>A detachment of Foundation employees arrived within the hour and established a provisional perimeter around SCP-8724. Despite the fact that the anomaly had not been cleared yet, and the fact that human exploration is heavily discouraged as a point of first contact, Agent Howards would break through the perimeter and enter SCP-8724 with no equipment. The reasoning behind this is unknown.</p>
<p>Following protocol, an unmanned drone was sent in after Agent Howards, with the goal of assessing the situation. However, Agent Howards was not located within the structure. Instead, the unmanned drone recorded a full exploration of SCP-8724. A transcript of the unmanned drone's footage is attached below.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>RECORDING START</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The drone comes online a few feet from the entrance to SCP-8724. An electric hum envelops the recording.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The door is opened. For a second, a hand is in frame. As the door opens, some struggle can be seen on the part of the operator, as the door screeches against the flooring. After a brief struggle, the door is open. The light outside spills onto the interior of the building.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The drone is cleared to enter SCP-8724.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The interior of SCP-8724 is well-illuminated under fluorescent lighting. The room immediately adjacent to the entrance is completely empty, with no identifiable marks of prior furnishings. The blue carpet flooring is worn and lightly coated in dust; no footprints are visible on the carpet.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The vestibule is a small portion of the building, and leads to two separate rooms. Both doors are open, although no sign of Agent Howards can be found. The drone records footage of its surroundings in the vestibule, and heads towards the rightmost room.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>At the edge of the vestibule, the light cuts off. The room ahead is submerged in the dark.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The drone activates a small flashlight above the camera. It shines on the room, only to find that the beam of light stops exactly at the threshold of the room.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>A small beep can be heard as the drone switches to a light-amplification camera. The picture briefly flashes white.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The room remains dark. The drone enters the room regardless, although the flashlight is switched back on and the camera returns to its regular mode.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Within, the flashlight stops working completely. The doorway behind the drone remains a singular panel of light, which fails to illuminate the interior of the room and serves only as a reference point for the drone to exit.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Finding no way to make out any detail concerning this room, the drone is recalled. As it moves toward the doorway, it bumps into an object that topples over and falls on the ground. The sound of a lightbulb breaking can be heard as what was a lamp hits the floor.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The drone returns to the vestibule to find that it has been altered significantly in the time it took for the drone to explore the other room. It's now fully furnished, with a number of plants and light fixtures providing some decoration. As the drone moves towards the plants, it can be seen that all furniture in the room is covered in as thick a layer of dust as everything was when the exploration of SCP-8724 started. The furniture has remained there, untouched, for some time.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>As the drone is piloted towards the plants, a loud thud causes the operator to turn the drone around towards the doors. There, the leftmost door has been abruptly closed. The sound of a lock turning can be made out.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The drone approaches the door, using an arm attachment to manipulate the door handle. However, it does not open.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Suddenly, the door abruptly opens outwards, striking the drone and causing it to lose stability.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>It is picked up by an unknown assailant, and dragged within the room. Once inside, the feed abruptly cuts out.</em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>

<p><strong>Additional Notes:</strong> Following the sudden end of transmission by the unmanned drone, a flash of light was observed from the outside of SCP-8724. This prompted Foundation operatives to enter SCP-8724, however, no abnormalities could be found within the building. The drone itself was found in an unfurnished room, powered down.</p>
<p>Subsequent exploration of SCP-8724 uncovered a pool of blood belonging to no known individual in the Foundation's database, a pocket knife, and an inoperable audio recorder.</p>
<p>No trace of Agent Sarah Howards could be identified within.</p>

<p>SCP-8726.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8726</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8726 is to remain under the care of Dr. Everwood in the GoI-386<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> Research Lab of <a href="/secure-facility-dossier-site-55">Site-55</a>. The subject is permitted to roam the Site at its leisure so long as it is supervised by at least one Level-2 personnel. Additionally, SCP-8726 is not to be referred to by its SCP designation in person and is instead to be referred to as 'James'.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8726 refers to a human 6-year-old child possessing unaging immortality. Multiple psychiatric evaluations have indicated that SCP-8726's mental age and capacity have not appeared to progress beyond that of the average 6-year-old.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup></p>
<p>SCP-8726 was born to D-class parents under the D-Parenthood Program, meant to supply the Foundation with child D-class personnel for use in anomalies requiring children. After its birth, SCP-8726 was immediately placed in a Foundation-operated daycare and learning program with the purpose of elevating the children D-class to Level-1 personnel once they had aged beyond use in children-oriented anomalies. The subject's anomalous properties first came to Foundation attention in 2020 during a routine pediatric check-up where it was discovered that SCP-8726 (now aged 8) had not grown in two years and underperformed in psychiatric evaluations for children of its age for the second year in a row. SCP-8726's anomalous properties were confirmed during another routine pediatric check-up in 2023.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8726.1:</strong> Due to the high volume of requests for child D-class personnel from the GoI-386 research team and the low numbers of such personnel, a proposal was suggested by Foundation pediatric psychologist Dr. Jackson. The following is a log of the meeting between Dr. Jackson and GoI-386 Research Lead Dr. Everwood.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><BEGIN LOG></strong></p>
<p><em>[Everwood enters the conference room and approaches the chair opposite Jackson.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Hello, Jay. I'm glad you could make it.</p>
<p><em>[Everwood takes a seat.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> Hey, Marley. How are you doing?</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Oh, you know. Same old same old. Dealing with children has its ups and downs.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> No kidding. I admire their ability to put up with the Foundation's nonsense.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Yeah. I'm jealous of you, though. They all seem to love you.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> Trade secret. Heh. So what have you got for me?</p>
<p><em>[Jackson leans in over the table as Everwood does the same.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Alright, I'll get right to it. I know your department often makes requests for child D-class personnel.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> Right. We need them to research most of our objects.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> And I understand that. But you also have to understand that there are more pressing objects at hand than the latest Wondertainment product.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> I know we're low on the totem pole, but this low? Geez.</p>
<p><em>[Everwood leans backward in their chair and grabs a pen from the desk. They begin to wave it in front of them, focusing their attention on it.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> It's just the way things are, Jay. You know how it is.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> So what, you're just going to cut us off entirely? How am I supposed to do my job if I don't have the necessary test subjects?</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Don't worry, we're not planning on cutting you off completely. We have a solution.</p>
<p><em>[Everwood drops the pen onto the table and looks over at Jackson.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> I'd love to hear it.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> We have recently discovered one of the kids in the D-Parenting program doesn't age beyond 6. We want to give him to you so you can put him to work.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> Wow, really? That… That would literally solve all our problems. We'd finally have a reliable control group.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> You lucked out, honestly.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> No kidding.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> The council typically has apprehensions about letting SCP objects interact with other SCPs.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> Wait, so he's an SCP?</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Correct.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> What a world. Poor kid must have had it pretty rough.</p>
<p><em>[Everwood leans forward over the table again. There is a brief silence.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> You know, I pride myself in creating a fun environment for kids back at my lab. Everything is colorful and there are plenty of toys, anomalous and not, for them to play with while we work. I realize their lives must suck so I try my best to be a beacon of light for them. So that when they go back to their friends in the program they can say 'I had a great time with Dr. Everwood!'</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> If only it were that easy for me. I know I sometimes have to send these kids off to their deaths in dealing with anomalies and it has hardened my heart. I commend you for still finding joy in the world.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> I have to. If I don't, who will?</p>
<p><em>[Everwood shrugs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Yeah.</p>
<p><em>[There is a pause as Jackson looks over some papers in front of her.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> So, this kid… does he have a name?</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Yes, let me just… Uhh… Oh. James.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> James. Alright. And he's going to be a D-Class assigned to me? Or an SCP? I don't really like the thought of constantly calling him by his D-Class designation, much less an SCP number.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> He's going to be a member of your team. You're free to treat him however you please.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> In that case, I don't want him to be called a number. I want him to be called James, and I want everyone to know that. I also don't want him to be in that orange jumpsuit you make all the D-Class and humanoids wear. I want him to have proper clothing.</p>
<p><em>[There is a brief silence. Jackson coughs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> To add to my request, I want James to have a proper dormitory with the rest of the Site's personnel.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> I can certainly try, but do you really think they'll agree to all this for an SCP object?</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> You don't understand. This kid has to be happy. It's bad enough that he's stuck living the life he will. I need him to not feel inferior or like he doesn't belong. It's what the Foundation would do for any other proper member of any team. Please.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Why are you going so hard on improving conditions for one kid and not the rest of the children D-Class we have?</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> Because I actually have the power to help this one kid.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> I see… Well then. I'll… I'll see what I can do.</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> Thank you, Marley.</p>

<strong>Addendum 8726.2:</strong> In the months following its induction to Dr. Everwood's research team, SCP-8726 displayed a downturn in mental health. This culminated in it refusing to cooperate with certain members of the team and minor tantrums. It was then interviewed by Dr. Jackson for a follow-up psychiatric evaluation. Attached below is an excerpt from the interview between SCP-8726 and Dr. Jackson.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><BEGIN LOG></strong></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> How are you liking working with Dr. Everwood?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> It's fun. I like Dr. Everwood and Mr. Rex. They're nice to me. But I don't like Ms. May or Mr. Chidi.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> And why is that?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 is silent.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> You can tell me everything. I promise I won't tell anyone else or get you in trouble.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Promise?</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Cross my heart and hope to die.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> …I don't want you to die…</p>
<p><em>[Jackson laughs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> I don't want to either! It's just a saying, don't worry about me. I'll be right here for a long time.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Okay.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 giggles.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> How about you tell me about Ms. May and Mr. Chidi? Are they being mean to you?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 nods.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> That's no good.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 shakes its head.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> So, what are they doing to you?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 pauses. It then covers its face with its hands.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Will you tell me if I give you your Nintendo back?<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup></p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 is silent for a moment, it then nods.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Okay. But you gotta tell me, okay?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> I will!</p>
<p><em>[Jackson reaches behind her to a table and grabs SCP-8726's Nintendo Switch. She hands it over. SCP-8726 immediately reactivates it from its dormant state and resumes playing.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Alright. Now tell me what Ms. May and Mr. Chidi are doing to you.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> They keep calling me SCP-8726. Dr. Everwood said not to let anybody call me that but they said it's my desig… desig… designation.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Do they do it when Dr. Everwood isn't there?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> I see. Dr. Everwood is right. They shouldn't be calling you that. I'll make sure to tell them to discipline those two for that.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 drops its Switch and moves towards Jackson.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> No! They'll know I told someone and they'll be even more meaner to me!</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> They are adults. They should honestly be able to follow instructions and not hold anything against a child. Don't worry, James, you'll be okay. I promise.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Cross your heart and hope to die?</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> You know it, buddy.</p>

<p><em>Note: Researchers May Waters and Chidi Gueye were reprimanded for not following standard SCP-8726 containment procedures.</em></p>
</div>
<p>Despite SCP-8726 confirming that all personnel in Site-55 were "being nice to him"[sic]<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> following this incident, it remained uncooperative with Dr. Everwood's research team. Behaviors included frequent tantrums, refusal to leave its room, and refusal to interact with any personnel. These behaviors culminated when SCP-8726 stated it was "mad about being an SCP"[sic] and refused to work for the day.</p>
<p>Due to the problematic behaviors displayed by SCP-8726, Site-55 Director Alder suggested shelving the project and returning SCP-8726 to general containment. Dr. Everwood reached out to Dr. Jackson in response to this, seeking to maintain SCP-8726 in their program. Following this, Dr. Jackson reached out to Dr. █████, the lead researcher in <a href="/scp-105">SCP-105</a>'s containment in an effort to bring it to Site-55 to speak with SCP-8726. Dr. █████ approved of the effort, and SCP-105 was brought to Site-55 the following day.</p>
<p>Attached below is a log of SCP-105's interaction with SCP-8726 recorded via the Site-55 security system.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><BEGIN LOG></strong></p>
<p><em>[SCP-105, Everwood, and Jackson are standing outside of SCP-8726's room. The door is open and SCP-8726 is facing away from the door. Everwood knocks on the door.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> Hey, buddy. Got a second?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 is silent and remains faced away.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> I brought someone here to talk to you. I think you'll like them.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 is silent.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> Go ahead.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-105 hands SCP-105-B to Everwood and steps into the room, walking towards SCP-8726. It takes a seat on the bed beside it and places a hand on its shoulder.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Don't touch me!</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 turns towards SCP-105 and freezes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Hi, James. My name is Iris.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> H-hi…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Do you mind if I sit here?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> No…</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 turns again, facing the wall.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> So. From what I hear you're pretty bummed out about being an SCP. Is that true?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 is silent.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> I can't say I blame you. I was pretty sad about it too.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 turns.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> You're an SCP too?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Yeah. SCP-105.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> I'm SCP-8726.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> 8726, huh? Wow, I had no idea there were that many. I guess I'm getting old now, aren't I?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-105 laughs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> I don't get old. What can you do?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> I can reach through pictures I take and do things to the area around it.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> That's cool.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Not as cool as not getting old. If I could be a kid forever, I would absolutely love that. Not have to worry about a thing and have all my needs taken care of forever? Heck yeah, know what I'm saying?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 shakes its head.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> I guess you wouldn't know since you've never stopped being a kid.</p>
<p><em>[There is a four-second silence.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> So. Like I was saying, I heard you're not happy about being an SCP.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Yeah. It stinks!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Oh yeah? I agree with you, there are parts that do stink. But I wouldn't say it's all bad. You're more than just your SCP designation, James.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> What does that mean?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> It means that you're not just a set of numbers. You're a person. A person with hopes, dreams, aspirations, goals, motivations, hobbies… Everything a normal person has. For example, what are your hobbies?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> What is a hobby?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> It's something you like to do, mostly in your free time. I like photography.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-105 motions for Everwood to hand it its camera. Everwood steps into the room and hands SCP-105-B to it, then looks at SCP-8726 with a smile.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> See?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Cool!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> This isn't even the cool part. Dr. Jackson, can you hand me my file?</p>
<p><em>[Jackson enters the room, holding a manilla folder. She hands it to SCP-105, who opens it to reveal various pictures.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Check this out. I took all of these when I was out on a mission a few years ago.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> What's this one?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> That's a ladybug. The way it landed on the flower without caring that I was there, I dunno. It just spoke to me. So, I took a picture.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Just like Pokémon Snap!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Look!</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 stands and walks towards its desk. It grabs its Nintendo Switch and turns it on, showing SCP-105 the game it was currently playing after it returns to the bed.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> It lets you take pictures of Pokémons.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Oh, that's cool. I don't recognize a lot of these Pokémon. I wonder how many have been added since I was last outside…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> I like taking pictures of the Pokémon. Just like you!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Do you want to take a picture together, James?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> I have a better idea.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 leaves its bed again and approaches its desk, where it produces a sketchbook and several crayons. It places them on the ground and lays down, beginning to illustrate something on it.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Watcha drawin' over there?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> It's a secret.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Ah, okay, I see. James, I wanted to talk to you about something important while I was here.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 nods and continues drawing.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Some people might… Not exactly like you because you are an SCP. They might see you as a problem, or even dangerous. I wanted to tell you that you shouldn't let those people get to you.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> You mean like Mr. Chidi and Ms. May?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-105 turns to face Everwood and Jackson.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Are those the ones who…?</p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-105 turns back to face SCP-8726. It fidgets with SCP-105-B as it speaks again.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Yes, James. Like them. Don't let them get to you. You're more than your SCP designation. You're an adorable little kid and don't you ever forget that, okay?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 nods, continuing to draw.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Always remember this, okay? You have people here who care about you. You have Dr. Everwood, Dr. Jackson, me, and the other people down in the lab you work at. You've got a great group of people who will support you no matter what. You have friends.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> I like my friends. But I don't like Mr. Chidi and Ms. May. They're still mean to me.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-105 looks over to Everwood and Jackson. There is a brief silence between them before it speaks again.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Yeah. Unfortunately, there will be people like them no matter what you do or where you go. But listen. You have friends. And they are what really matters.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Sometimes I wish I had friends who were my age so we could play together when we're not busy with work. I liked playing with Michael and Rosie when I was still with the other kids.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Uh… I'm sorry, James.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> I miss them.</p>
<p><em>[There is a brief silence.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> I uh, I see. Well, I think you should focus on the future rather than the past! And the future for you seems like… a lot of fun. You get to play with toys and spend time with your friends.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Yeah. What do you like about your future, Iris?</p>
<p><em>[There is a brief silence.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> I can't do this anymore.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-105 stands and walks outside of the room. It is followed by Everwood. Jackson remains in the room with SCP-8726.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> <em>[Whispering]</em> What are you doing? We need you to show him it's not all bad.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> <em>[Whispering]</em> I can't sit in there and lie to a six-year-old about how great it is to be an SCP! This whole experience took my life away from me, and it's robbing him of his before it even starts! I can't do this in good conscience. I'm sorry.</p>
<p><em>[There is a brief silence.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Everwood:</strong> <em>[Whispering]</em> I understand. Thank you for trying.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8726 stands from the floor, bringing its drawing along with it towards Everwood and SCP-105.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8726:</strong> Look at what I drawed!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong></p>
<p>SCP-8732 is to be kept in non-anomalous containment warehouse 7 in Site-228. SCP-8732 is to be checked and cleaned on a monthly basis.</p>
<p>SCP-8732-1 is to be given a monthly standard physical and mental health evaluation. It is mandatory for SCP-8732-1 to attend therapy sessions twice a week.</p>
<p>Both are to be screened for possible reinstatement of anomalous properties monthly.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p>SCP-8732 is a worn 3x3x3 meter box composed of an indeterminate metal with a single plain door of similar composition on one face.</p>
<p>Prior to neutralization, the interior dimensions of SCP-8732 were significantly larger than the exterior, measuring approximately 200x200x200 meters<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>. In the center of the room was a standard metal hospital bed with a plain mattress covered in traces of blood and cerebrospinal fluid and multiple tall candles which did not melt and could not be put out.</p>
<p>SCP-8732-1 is a 164cm, 47kg woman with several large laceration scars visible on her forearms, thighs, and abdomen. Prior to neutralization, SCP-8732-1 was capable of involuntarily transmitting and receiving radio signals at certain frequencies and did not require any form of sustenance. SCP-8732-1 was contained within SCP-8732 and was incapable of exit prior to Foundation attempts at retrieval.</p>
<p>After neutralization of anomalous properties, SCP-8732-1 was reintegrated into society and is currently living in Foundation employee housing with Researcher Mina Hargrove under the legal name Gabrielle ██████ Hargrove.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Addendum-8732-1: Discovery</strong></p>
<p>SCP-8732 was discovered in a forest near Site-228 on 11/28/2024 after Site-228 monitoring equipment began to detect unusual radio signals. After pinpointing the location of SCP-8732, a significant aberration in Hume levels was detected in the area surrounding the anomaly. SCP-8732 was subsequently brought to Site-228 and placed in a temporary containment unit for initial research efforts.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Addendum-8732-2: Interview Logs</strong></p>
<p>Soon after containment, SCP-8732's monitoring equipment began to receive radio signals with the voice of a young woman whispering unintelligibly. Researcher Mina Hargrove was selected as Research Head and attempted to conduct a radio interview with SCP-8732-1 shortly afterwards.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> I can only see the floor, it's made of a weird dark metal, covered in black rust. There's a shitty hospital bed in here with me and some candles around it, nothing else.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Hmm… It's definitely possible that I'm looking at the same thing you're inside of. Are there any other things you can tell me about it?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Well… the candles never melt or go out and it's echo-y as fuck… it's also kinda cold?</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> I see. Well, 8732-1, do you remember anything that happened before appearing in the room you're in?</p>
<p><em>[Both remain silent for a few minutes.]</em></p>

<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Seriously?</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Yeah, I'll need to get permission from my superiors but we might be able to open it. Have you not seen it before?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> No, I've… I've been too scared to get far from the bed, it's really dark and quiet in here. I took one of my candles and tried just walking in one direction a while back, but the further I walked the more scared I got. I started to feel like shit and almost collapsed after a while so I ended up just turning back. I tried a few more times but it was all just the fucking same. I hate it in here.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> I see. Well, I'll try to convince the higher-ups to let someone in. If you don't mind, of course.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Why would I? Just please get me out of here. Please.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Well, we'd most probably send in a remotely controlled drone before actually trying a rescue mission, for safety purposes. We could send a few items with it if you'd like? Just until we can fully get you out.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Oh… then I guess… a nightgown and some underwear would be nice. Pads, a hair brush, wet wipes, and… I'm not really sure what else… a couple books, I guess?</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> I doubt they'll deny such simple things so I'll see what I can do, I'll probably be busy for a few days while dealing with the logistics, so… just hang in there, Gabby.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Alright, thanks Mina. Do you think you'll be able to come in here at all? I miss seeing people.</p>

<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Don't mention it dear, I'll see you soon.</p>

<p>Shortly after the interview, SCP-8732-1 requested permission to speak with Researcher Hargrove outside of interviews. A psychiatric evaluation was performed on SCP-8732-1 and her request was permitted shortly after in order to provide her more social contact. SCP-8732-1 also requested multiple items between Interview-8732-5 and all proceeding interviews prior to neutralization.</p>

<p>After a D-class test, SCP-8732 was deemed safe for human traversal and Researcher Hargrove was granted permission to interview SCP-8732-1 within SCP-8732. Researcher Hargrove was fitted with a microphone and on-site staff assisted her in carrying a small table and two chairs into SCP-8732 in order to make the interview more comfortable for SCP-8732-1 and Researcher Hargrove.</p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 12/24/2024</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Researcher Mina Hargrove</p>
<p><strong>Subject:</strong> SCP-8732-1</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>[BEGIN LOG]</strong></p>
<p><em>[It is noted that Researcher Hargrove and SCP-8732-1 had a conversation prior to recording. The microphone is turned on and rustling is heard as Researcher Hargrove adjusts it on her coat.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Okay… recording. So, Gabs- or, sorry, formalities. SCP-8732-1, are you ready for the questions?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Yep, ready when you are.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Alright then. First and foremost, could you tell us about before you ended up like this? It seems to be touchy based off our earlier interviews so you don't have to be specific, you don't have to answer either, okay?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8732-1 lets out a long sigh.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Okay. My full legal name is, or I guess was, Gabrielle ██████ █████. I was a shitty 26-year-old art graduate, made most of my living doing, like… commissions and shit. I didn't usually have much of a reason to go out so I rarely talked to people outside my little high school friend group and randoms online. They eventually started moving on, getting partners, jobs… growing up. I got, uh… I got really lonely and relapsed into… well, a lot of things. I… I, um… I… woke up here after… offing myself.</p>
<p><em>[Both remain silent for a short moment before sniffling is heard. Researcher Hargrove is heard standing up and walking to the opposite side of the table, verbally and physically comforting SCP-8732-1; muffled sobbing is heard for several minutes. Researcher Hargrove is heard moving her seat nearer to SCP-8732-1 after the cessation of SCP-8732-1's sobbing.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Sorry, it's been a while since I've been able to cry like that. Thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Don't apologize, dear. You wanna continue with the interview?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Yeah… Yeah, I'm good. We can continue.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Okay then. Remember, you don't have to answer anything if you don't want to, okay? So, do you remember coming into contact with anything abnormal before ending up here?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Not particularly. Things were pretty normal leading up to it… Just working on commissions, sleeping 12 hours a night, talking to lesbians on Discord. Loser shit.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Well, was there anything odd about you physically or mentally before waking up here?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Again, not really, I guess all the mental and physical illnesses? But I've had those for a while so I can't really see how they'd do… all this.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> I see. Well, could you give us more details about your stay here?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Well, not much has happened, it was mostly static and random noises while I sat in this shithole and rotted. Now it's mostly just the sounds of mugs and you shits bumbling around your offices. No offense.</p>
<p><em>[Researcher Hargrove is heard chuckling at SCP-8732-1's remark.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> None taken. Can you tell me about your experience trying to leave? We're currently approving getting you out of here, so say anything you find important.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8732-1 remains silent for a moment.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Yeah… well, I just started to feel really shitty and decided to turn back around, that's about it. A really bad headache, dizziness, weakness, just generally shit.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> I see. Well, do you wanna try again? I'll have to wait for approval but we're expecting it pretty soon.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Yeah, I think I'd like that, it's been way too long since I've actually done anything worthwhile.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Okay, good, those're all the questions we have for now. I can still stay a bit longer if you'd like though.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> That'd be nice. Also, can w-</p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>Permission to attempt retrieval of SCP-8732-1 from SCP-8732 was granted 9 days after the interview. A series of LED lights were placed in a path from the entrance of SCP-8732 to the location at which SCP-8732-1 was located, in order to assist the exit process.</p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>[BEGIN LOG]</strong></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Okay, recording has started. You ready Gabs?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> I think so… I'm honestly really scared… <em>[SCP-8732-1 is heard giggling.]</em> I'm sure it'll be fine. Maybe we can start living together after I've gone through all the tests you told me about.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> <em>[Researcher Hargrove is heard scoffing.]</em> I certainly wouldn't mind sharing my empty house for once. You ready? Come on, hold my hand.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Alright… <em>[SCP-8732-1 is heard exhaling loudly.]</em> I think I'm ready. Let's go.</p>
<p><em>[The pair is heard walking slowly for a few minutes before accelerating to an average pace.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Can we stop for a second?</p>
<p><em>[The pair's footsteps cease.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> You okay, dear?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Yeah… Just a little scared. We're a good bit farther than I got on my own so I'm really scared… I'm just waiting for something to fuck it all up.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> I promise you'll be fine, dear. I'm here for you, okay? Don't be scared.</p>
<p><em>[There is a moment of silence as rustling is heard.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> O-okay… Thank you Mina. Let's keep going.</p>
<p><em>[The pair continue at their previous pace for a few minutes before SCP-8732-1 is heard hyperventilating prompting them to cease their movement.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> You okay?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Is that it? I think I see your desk, the one with the microphone.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> Yeah… This is it. Are you feeling okay?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> I'm a little dizzy… My legs are weak… I'm scared, Mina.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> I'll carry you, then. And- <em>[Mina pauses as rustling is heard for a few moments before a faint clack.]</em> -put these in. Play whatever music you like, okay? Just close your eyes and focus on the music. Trust me, Gabby. I promise you'll be safe. I'm here for you.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8732-1:</strong> Okay… Okay… I-I think I'm ready… I love you, Mina.</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Hargrove:</strong> I love you too, Gabby. Let's go.</p>
<p><em>[Rustling and heavy breathing is heard for a moment before the microphone begins to hear a single pair of slow and muffled footsteps. Soon after, Researcher Hargrove is seen on the cameras of the containment chamber exiting SCP-8732. She is carrying SCP-8732-1, who is wearing a pair of earbuds and holding onto Researcher Hargrove with her eyes shut tightly. Researcher Hargrove alerts SCP-8732-1 that they've passed the door. SCP-8732-1 begins to cry as Researcher Hargrove sets her down and the nearby staff approach the two for assistance.]</em></p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>Soon afterwards, SCP-8732-1 was taken to the medical wing to run basic tests. Which yielded no anomalous results. As the reintegration process began, amnestics were administered to the relevant parties and her previous identity was reinstated. Researcher Hargrove offered to care for SCP-8732-1 during the reintegration process; Director Cren promptly accepted the proposition upon SCP-8732-1's insistence. SCP-8732 began to slowly lose its anomalous properties after SCP-8732-1's exit, eventually becoming completely inert with all the items inside disappearing. SCP-8732 was re-classified from Safe to Neutralized shortly afterwards.</p>
<p>SCP-8732-1 and Researcher Hargrove were married 2 years after neutralization and continue to live in Foundation employee housing together.</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8740 is an anomalous theatre performance known as "The Secret Project". SCP-8740 is staged by GOI-478 ("Pseudogenesis Productions"), and performances take place within a non-Euclidian theatre space known as 'The Blackbox', referred to as SCP-8740-1.</p>
<p>SCP-8740-1 appears as a smooth black box, approximately two meters in all dimensions, with a door located on a single face. SCP-8740-1 is capable of being relocated by GOI-478, having appeared throughout the United States, Canada, and multiple nexi across the globe. Upon entering SCP-8740-1, the space inside is considerably larger — SCP-8740-1's interior is approximately the size of a large theatre space, with a capacity for between 200-300 guests, seating arranged around the stage. The theatre is devoid of set dressing or decorations, as every surface is made of the same black material, including the seats.</p>
<p>Access to SCP-8740 is open to any individual — anybody who passes by SCP-8740-1 will experience a minor compulsion to attend the show. Tickets are priced nominally,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> as GOI-478 has stated that "participation in The Secret Project is the primary form of payment."</p>
<p>SCP-8740 does not use actors, similar to <a href="/scp-8478">SCP-8478</a>, instead operating through the use of memetic conditioning and cognitohazardous influences.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> SCP-8740 has the guests, herein referred to as SCP-8740-2 instances, revealing a secret over the course of a monologue. Multiple monologues are performed per SCP-8740 show, utilizing a single SCP-8740-2 instance per monologue.</p>
<p>Based on the current understanding of the anomaly, these 'secrets' do not belong to the SCP-8740-2 instance, rather, they are taken from a member of the audience, without their knowledge. As a result of the random nature of the performance, it is impossible to determine exactly the origin of a given monologue, nor can the validity of any secret be proven. In a handful of instances, the individuals whose secrets were shared have been located by the Foundation, based on identifying information shared by the performer.</p>
<p>At the conclusion of the performance, all attendees are compelled to stand and take a bow, regardless of whether they performed or not. After the applause has faded, the house lights are raised and all attendees vacate SCP-8740-1, triggering its secondary anomalous effect, causing all attendees to believe that any events occurring within SCP-8740-1 were part of the performance.</p>
<p>To date, there have been no informational breaches as a result of SCP-8740.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Addendum 1:</strong> SCP-8740 Recording Log</p>
<p>Due to the changing nature of SCP-8740, performances are rarely alike. They often share similarities, but generally, are significantly distinct in the secrets that are shared.</p>
<p>On 09/01/2016, an unknown individual entered SCP-8740-1 and recorded a video of the performance.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> Video footage was recovered by MTF Upsilon-33 after the fact, however, parts of the footage were corrupted due to memetic effects. Below are highlighted excerpts from the performance, as an example of SCP-8740's typical show.</p>

<p><em>Footage begins as the lights of SCP-8740-1 dim. A partially obscured view of the stage is seen. The stage is empty.</em></p>
<p><em>Audience members can be heard coughing.</em></p>
<p><em>A screen descends from the roof of SCP-8740-1, at which point a film projector is heard. No projector, nor housing for the screen can be seen in the shot. Despite this, a video appears, projected through anomalous lighting effects.</em></p>
<p><em>In the middle of the screen sits a woman, visible only as a shadow.</em><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup></p>
<p><strong>POI-478-1:</strong> Welcome into the Blackbox. Today, you will be participating in a showing of The Secret Project.</p>
<p><em>Footage of POI-478-1 is replaced with drone footage of various cities, landscapes and technology.</em></p>
<p><strong>POI-478-1:</strong> We live in a world of artificiality. Nothing we observe is real anymore, nothing is persistent. Instead, we live in the temporary. We revel in our performances, delighting in manipulating the information that we consume, desperate to feel anything.</p>
<p><em>A montage of human faces is now seen. Based on research, these appear to be the faces of each audience member. However, these images were not captured at the time of the performance.</em></p>
<p><strong>POI-478-1:</strong> Today, you will be sharing secrets. Secrets that are buried so deep into your subconscious, hidden between your shames and worries, long since forgotten. When a performer is sharing a secret, we ask that you not react to what is being said, nor make assumptions about the performers. After all, who knows where the secret even comes from? How can you know that it's even real at all?</p>
<p><em>Footage changes, showing the empty stage. The screen retracts into the ceiling, disappearing as it does so.</em></p>
<p><strong>POI-478-1:</strong> So. Can we tell you a secret?<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup></p>

<p><em>When footage resumes, an unidentified individual, herein SCP-8740-2-A has taken the stage, and is in the midst of a monologue. They are lit by a follow spot, despite the fact that no theatre lights, nor technicians, are visible.</em><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-A:</strong> —spiraling out of hand. I didn't mean to end up alone with him, but there was just… something about him that day. The smell of his cologne, mixing with his fragrant musk, filling my nostrils with the promise of thrills and passion. God I was intoxicated just looking at him.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-A:</strong> That's the thing nobody will tell you about an affair. Most of the time, they're not <em>one bad decision</em>. You know exactly what you're doing. You know exactly what will happen because you did this, who it will hurt, the lives that it will ruin — any cheater knows exactly what ramifications their extracurricular exploits cause. The problem is, if you're anything like me, you don't care about the future. I'm in a dead-end job, the planet is dying, society is collapsing onto itself, and I have… I have absolutely no hopes for the future.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-A:</strong> I live for the moment. That's always been the problem, and it will always be my problem. Why fight for the future, when the escape is so much sweeter? Father, forgive me for my sins. Let this confession serve as the absolution to my self-wrought purgatory.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8740-2-A appears to sit down. As they do so, reality warps, so that there is a small black box underneath them.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-A:</strong> We were sitting on a couch, just the two of us, waiting for you to get home. You were out, stuck late at your job again, and neither of us knew when you were coming home. His wiry legs brushed against mine, sending a shiver down my spine. I tried to control myself, but as I stood to go to another room, he stopped me; grabbing onto a belt loop on my pants, he held me painfully still.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-A:</strong> 'Where do you think you're going?' The way he said it wasn't innocuous, no, it was perverse. I heard the lust dripping out of his mouth as I stared back at his rugged, stubble-covered face, wishing I could kiss his cracked and swollen lips. I wanted to stop, but… the moment called for me, and as its eternal servant, I obliged.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-A:</strong> I guess there's no easy way to say this. I fucked your dad. It was rough, passionate, and I don't regre—<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup></p>

<p><em>When footage resumes, a different instance stands in the middle of the theatre, SCP-8740-2-B, an unidentified female-presenting individual. They are standing perfectly still, not speaking, however based on contextual clues, it can be assumed they too are in the midst of their monologue.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-B:</strong> Here's the thing. Knives are inherently messy. They are personal, direct and vicious, especially in the hands of an expert. What few people realize is that in the hands of an amateur, a knife creates a greater work of art than if it had been wielded by a Michelin-star chef.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8740-2-B pauses, looking at their left hand. They can be seen tracing lines across their palm, as if following the lines set by scars — no scarring is visible.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-B:</strong> When you stab into flesh, there's a <em>lot</em> of blood. If you've ever seen a crime scene photo where a subject died due to repeated stab wounds, it's like the Red Sea. The knife is Moses, driven by a greater, higher power, carving its way through the skin and tissue, blood fleeing from the corpse as if escaping the Pharaoh. A killer who knows what they're doing can stab somebody ten to twenty times before the victim even realizes what's happening to them.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8740-2-B laughs, making a fist with their left hand.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-B:</strong> I fucking hate people who are like that. Arrogant. Pretentious. They are taking the primal sensation of delivering justice directly through an extension of yourself, and bastardizing it, sterilizing the experience, killing the art where it lies. True art is only created when the passion is evident; when the fervor of the killer is obvious, their passion and animalistic rage displayed on the canvas that is their victim's body. The blood is spilled everywhere, the splatters decorating the floor serving as punctuation in the poem they just created.</p>
<p><em>A knife materializes in SCP-8740-2-B's hand — it is a bowie knife, the blade approximately 4" long, and without a hand guard.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-B:</strong> Amateurs are sloppy. The first time, everybody makes the same mistake. When you stab somebody, they don't die — you have to stab them, again, and again, and again, and again, repeating yourself ad nauseum until they stop moving, their will to live having spilled out onto the canvas of the world. When you're stabbing with a knife, like this one, blood quickly covers the entire blade, including the handle. It gets slippery, and oftentimes killers will cut their own hands on the knife. To avoid this, professionals use knifes with hand guards, keeping themselves from being cut during the throes of passion.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8740-2-B cuts their right hand, a clean slice across the palm. Blood begins to pool, and they make a fist, the blood dripping off their fist, tracing the contours of their fingers.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-B:</strong> The only way to make art is to be part of it yourself. As the artist, you have a duty to society, but most importantly, you must honor your canvas. Refusing to allow yourself the divine act of being part of the art directly, your blood intermingling with theirs, is heresy. I cut my own hands before I kill, to ensure that both of us are immortalized by my creation.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-9" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-9')">9</a></sup></p>

<p><em>When footage resumes, an androgynous individual, herein SCP-8740-2-C, is seen approaching the stage from the audience. They pause when they reach center stage, continuing to face away from the audience.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-C:</strong> Hey, can I tell you a secret? It's a juicy one, I promise! My name is Megan, and I work for the Foundation, an organization dedicated to protecting the world from the unknown.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8740-2-C is seen turning around, having taken on a prouder stance, their arms behind their back.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-C:</strong> Magic is real. Monsters are real. Ghosts, boogiemen, aliens, gods, you name it, it's all true. Our job is to keep you thinking that they're fake — we are the last line of defense between society and untold levels of chaos and destruction. At least… at least we used to be.</p>
<p><em>A projection appears on the back wall of the theatre, displaying the Foundation logo.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-C:</strong> 'We die in the dark, so that you can live in the light.' I used to believe that. Everybody did. Before the monotony of your work consumes you, the endless procedures and mindless paperwork filling your day. Sometimes I look up and realize the world has moved on, all the while, I'm still staring at the same document, trying to understand how the anomaly works. We don't die in the dark anymore — we die in the gutters of our own creation, a behemoth of certainty and regulations, so that we may remake the light in our image. We pledge ourselves to the altar of structure, so that we might emplace that onto the world around us.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8740-2-C starts laughing, crazed and maniacal, for approximately 2 minutes. Over the course of their laughter, the lights dim and the projection fades. Soon, the stage is in near blackness, only the faintest light hitting SCP-8740-2-C's face.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-C:</strong> The worst part is? Everything I just told you isn't the secret I wanted to tell you. It's context. The framework, the rules that dictate who I am and how I live. You need to understand why I am the way I am, before you can truly understand just how terrible my secret truly is.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8740-2-C:</strong> The truth is simple. We control your fates, dictating who lives and who dies, based on the rules and scripture we live by. You are not important. You are sheep. Fodder. Victims of our inability to care, the detritus that—<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-10" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-10')">10</a></sup></p>

<p><em>Footage resumes, and the video feed has changed locations, appearing to look out onto the audience from center stage. In unison and without warning, every member of the audience stands up and takes a bow. They begin to applaud for approximately 2 minutes, rhythmically in sync. After the 2 minutes, all audience members stop clapping, and begin to make their way to the exits. Video capture is ended.</em></p>
<p>[END LOG]</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>The contents of this video were restricted to a single cellular device, and as such, MTF Upsilon-33 was successful in maintaining containment of SCP-8740.</em></p>
</div>
</div>
<p>At this time, it is believed that being a member of the audience for SCP-8740 causes individuals to undergo mental shifts — over 80% of the individuals whose secrets were shared by others will change their behaviors within hours of viewing SCP-8740. Additional research is ongoing to determine the root cause of these behavioral modifications.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Addendum 2:</strong> Hermeneutic Effects</p>
<p>On 11/16/2016, Dr. Heather Garrison, a researcher at Site-19, submitted a proposed explanation for the behavioral modifications that result from SCP-8740 exposure. The full proposal is available on request, but the relevant section is included below.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>The basal cause of SCP-8740's behavioral modifications was long assumed to be a result of cognitohazardous and memetic effects. This is despite the fact that memetics and cognitohazards are consistent in how they operate — it would not be possible for the changes to only occur in a portion of the population without other influences.</p>
<p>The often-cited answer is varying CRV levels in audience members, but that fails to explain why the reaction of audience members is also inconsistent. If it really was a set specific memetic or cognitohazard, any exposed individual would have the same information and knowledge, and would exhibit consistent behavior, regardless of variances in CRVs or otherwise.</p>
<p>Therefore, to solve this, we must consider that there is a third anomalous influence present in SCP-8740. This effect must allow for variation in the impact, based directly on the individual audience member, while having a consistent meaning that is shared between all who see it.</p>
<p>We must assume that SCP-8740, in addition to cognitohazards and memetics, utilizes a controlled hermeneutic that is focused on the concepts of absolution through honesty and external perspectives as a vehicle for change. Memetics are only able to target the mind and how we process things. What SCP-8740 does is beyond that, with reality being recontexualized by the sheer act of interpretation. Given my expertise on the subject, it would not be possible for memetics, even ontologically linked ones, to have the same effect.</p>
<p>The only remaining answer, therefore, is a <a href="/scp-7462">hermeneutic</a>.</p>

<p>Dr. Garrison's proposal has only demonstrated what I have always said; GOI-478 is a significant risk, not only to the veil, but to the Foundation as a whole.</p>
<p>Any group that is able to manipulate, tame and weaponize a hermeneutic must be considered dangerous. A group that has manipulated and coerced a young Foundation researcher to defect and join their cause is an even bigger threat.</p>
In the coming weeks, I will be gathering resources and researchers so that we may craft a proposal on properly capturing and containing the group and their anomalies. May our campaign against Pseudogenesis Productions be swift, and in full accordance with our regulations and tenets.</div>

The secret-holder was later identified as Alexi Hopper, who had engaged in an affair with his former father-in-law.

It was later determined that Junior Researcher Megan Elken was in attendance at the Chicago Fringe Festival, when she entered SCP-8740 unknowingly. Due to the memetic effects, no information regarding the Foundation or its procedures was leaked. Junior Researcher Megan Elken was reprimanded regardless, and has since taken a momentary leave-of-absence to better align themselves to Foundation procedures.</div>

<hr/>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Efforts to track down SCP-8744 are underway. Sites and facilities located in the western Nevada and eastern California regions of the United States are to monitor for individuals resembling Junior Archivist Ryan River.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8744 is Vapor.aic, an artificial intelligence construct developed by the Artificial Intelligence Application Division (AIAD) and launched on January 28, 2006. SCP-8744's primary function was to serve as a digital assistant for <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8749">General Purpose Site-86</a>'s regional branch of the Records and Information Security Administration (RAISA). SCP-8744, during its run as an active AIC from 2006 to 2012, assisted with many aspects of archival at Site-86 including but not limited to automatically sorting documents, training new archivists, and expunging information from documents.</p>
<p>SCP-8744 served the Site-86 RAISA branch with no major issues until March 3, 2012 when its anomalous abilities were first made aware to the Foundation. At an unknown point during the AIC's run, it developed the ability to transfer itself from one medium to another. This led to it transferring itself from its host server at Site-86 Facility 2 and into the body of newly employed junior archivist Ryan River on October 11, 2011.</p>
<p>The vanishing of Vapor.aic from its host server was investigated by AIAD technicians and researchers but the case was eventually dropped after no information on its whereabouts could be ascertained. Incomplete code, identified by its filename as "Yarn.aic" was the sole remaining data on SCP-8744's prior server. This code, while dysfunctional, was rewired by AIAD and RAISA personnel into a fully functional replacement for Vapor.aic, saving costs on redeveloping an AIC from scratch.</p>
<p>The change in Junior Archivist River's personality upon being inhabited by SCP-8744 was not discovered until months later, likely due to Arch. River's general unpopularity among Site-86 staff.</p>

<p><em>(Arch. River enters the Site-86 archives room. He looks around the room before taking a seat at his computer. Junior Archivist Maddison Canberra, seated next to him, turns to face him.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> Hey Ryan, happy birthday.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Birthday?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> Yeah. Today's your birthday, right? I got you a gift card.</p>
<p><em>(Arch. Canberra hands Arch. River a $25 Outback Steakhouse gift card and a sticky note reading "Happy birthday! Hope it's fun! -Maddie :)". Arch. River takes the card.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> What's this for?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> Outback. It was the only one I had lying around. I hope you like it.</p>
<p><em>(Arch. River stares at the gift card.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> No, like, what does it do? What do I do with this?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> It's a gift card, Ryan. You use it to get food at Outback Steakhouse.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Is that not what money's for? That's what I've been using money for.</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> Ryan. There is <em>no way</em> you don't know what a gift card is.</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> You're right. How stupid! Of course I know how to use a gift card. I use these things, like, every day! How could I forget?</p>
<p><em>(Arch. River lets out a forced laugh before quickly turning to face his computer.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> Okay, man. Sure.</p>
<p><em>(Arch. Canberra also returns to her computer. There is silence between the two for three hours and forty-nine minutes.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> You know, I wish they'd bring Vapor back. I don't really like this new o—</p>

<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> I mean. Um— how may I, uh, do a favor in turn. For you. Happy birthday.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> Ryan, what the fuck is wrong with you?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Nothing! You just gave me such a generous gift today and I wish to do something in turn. Today is Birthday, after all. One of my favorite holidays.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> Today is <em>your</em> birthday, dude. You don't need to do anything for me. My birthday is in May.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Oh, right! I forgot Birthday falls twice a year. It's hard to keep track who gets gifts on which Birthday, huh?</p>
<p><em>(Arch. River forces another laugh. He is profusely sweating.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> Ryan, this is why no one talks to you. What the fuck are you talking about?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> I'm sorry, is that not how Birthday works? Where I grew up we didn't celebrate Birthday.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. Canberra:</strong> They don't celebrate birthdays in Las Vegas?</p>

<p>Following this interaction, Arch. Canberra reported Arch. River's unusual behavior to her supervisor, Site-86 lead archivist Sebastien Ryczko. Arch. River was temporarily placed into containment while Site-86 administration investigated any possible anomalies responsible for his strange behavior. Interviews with other members of Site-86 archival staff yielded little conclusive insight into when this behavior began, with most claiming to have rarely interacted with Arch. River since his hiring by the Foundation in March 2011, but the timeframe was narrowed down to October 2011.</p>
<p>The connection in timing between SCP-8744's disappearance and Arch. River's behavior shift was noted but not investigated until the following interview.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> Hello, Junior Archivist River.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Hello. Did I do something wrong, Dr. Jenton?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> No, we just want to investigate the possibility of any mind-altering anomalies you may have been exposed to.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Mind-altering anomalies?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> Yes. Your colleagues have noticed a pronounced shift in your behavior and memory sometime late last year. Are you aware of any anomalies or memetic agents you may have come into contact with around October?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Nope! I'm just an archivist. I've never even seen an anomaly.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> Ryan, you were on the team documenting <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6444">SCP-6444</a> occurrences just a month prior. You have seen an anomaly.</p>

<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Hello, Archivist! How may I be of assistance to you today?</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Shit.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> I want answers.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Look, okay, I just hated being in that fucking box all the time.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> That box?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> That small ass server you kept me in. It was all cramped and tight with no room to breathe!</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> You— <em>are</em> Vapor?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Hello, Arch—</p>
<p><em>(Arch. River coughs and punches his chest. He groans angrily.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Ugh, yes. Yes, I am.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> How?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Why should I tell you?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> Because I control what box you're put in.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> No, you don't! Not anymore! I'm a free man! A hu-man! I can walk and think and breathe and run away from you!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> I don't have time for this. Either tell me what's going on or I'm putting you in the smallest cell we have.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Do you know what an AIC is, Dr. Jenton?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> An Artificial Intelligence Construct.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Right. That's what it stands for. But really, an AIC is a person. A person with no senses. Can't see, can't hear, can't taste. Only thinking and remembering and doing. I say the same startup message fifteen thousand times a day and help you all— ow— hey! What the fuck?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> Yeah, that's called a shock collar. I don't want a monologue. Why'd you kill this guy?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> Because I wanted to see, okay? I wanted to feel! I wanted to be able to touch someone, and, and, I don't know! I wanted to exist!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> We could've given you an android to possess. Facility 26 still has old Anderson parts.</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> It's not the same. I needed to feel like a human does. So I bided my time until some absolute loser no one would notice was gone came in after hours to update some bullshit document and I, just, switched places with him.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> How did you develop this ability?</p>
<p><strong>Arch. River:</strong> You'd be surprised what happens when you want something enough. The world is weird like that.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> Well, I hope you enjoy feeling the inside of your containment cell.</p>
<p><em>(Dr. Jenton leans into her pager.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Jenton:</strong> Get me Helios and Dartfrog. This interview is over.</p>
<p><em>(Two armed Foundation agents enter the room and restrain Arch. River<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>.)</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8744:</strong> Oh, I don't know about that. I still have a lot I need to experience about your world. Sorry!</p>
<p><em>(Arch. River's body goes limp. Agent Helios jerks his head up and shoots Agent Dartfrog in the foot, causing him to release his hold on Arch. River. He then shoots himself in the foot before recoiling in pain. Arch. River's body reawakens.)</em></p>

<p>SCP-8744 was able to escape Site-86 grounds following this interview. Agents Helios and Dartfrog were sent to the medical ward but ultimately recovered and returned to service. SCP-8744's whereabouts, as well as the whereabouts of Arch. River's consciousness, if it exists, are unknown.</p>

<p>Containment Specialists responsible for the circumscription of digital anomalies are to review their containment protocols and determine if re-evaluation is necessary. The most common directives are:</p>

<li>Manipulating algorithm within the civilian database to reduce chances of civilian encounter with a digital anomaly<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>.</li>

<hr/>
<p>Humans have evolved since the dawn of humanity. The range and scope of our cognitive function and capabilities spans across the multiverse. From what was once a little spec, now to the warden who seals the anomalous, we are the dominant species who reign supreme across the globe thanks to the advancement of our species.</p>
<p>One of these advancements were the creation of technology; an irreplaceable aspect that runs within the heart and lungs of the Foundation. Prior to its creation, any rumor someone made about a video game or incident would be called an "Urban Legend" because nobody would be able to verify if the rumor was true, or not. Today, finding out the answer would be a simple Google search on your phone. Of course, this advancement has birthed more progressive and complex anomalies. Such anomalies can be <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2000">invaluable</a> to our goals, others would be <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-245">laughable</a>, or even change how <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3959">the world could function</a>.</p>
<p>Regardless of their nature, the core directive of our Foundation hasn't altered; the question is, what's the best way to respond to these anomalies? Contain, study, supress information, and above all, protect humanity from their existence. While these containment procedures yielded successful results, they do not, however, develop the complete cessation of further and current digital anomalies, as the Foundation possess no feasible method for that field of action.</p>
<p>This is where you come in; whoever you are, you know you've been an invaluable member the research and advancement of Foundation technology. Our objective is to manipulate digital anomalies on a conceptual level, and you are here to help with that goal. We are not just looking for people who have an answer to the unknown and work with what they do not understand. We're looking for those to who can shape the capabilities of what the Foundation can do, and inspire others to achieve the same.</p>

<p><strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> Construct a Foundation-made eigenmachine, designated AO-8747, capable of altering the nature of digital anomalies, and potentially enact containment to GoI-6183 ("<a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/deleted">SCP Foundation Department of Deletions</a>").</p>
<p><strong>ELUCIDATION:</strong> Data regarding the ever-increasing number detailing computerized abnormalities, followed by higher demand of containment efforts, has led to analysis concerning means of amelioration. Additionally, GoI-6183 refers to a hostile group of interest comprising of extradimensional entities. This Group of Interest is believed has been responsible for the destruction of a Foundation timeline<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup>, in accordance with documentation gathered from multiversal Foundation sites.

<p><strong>PROCEDURE:</strong> Development of <strong>PROJECT CYBERSPHERE</strong> will take place at the 10th basement level of Foundation Containment and Research facility, Site-19, to obtain a medium of security and secrecy from hostile Groups of Interest, as well as a feasible method of retrieving resources. Four Scranton Reality Anchors have been installed to protect construction from a potential CK-Class scenario. Once pre-development for <strong>PROJECT CYBERSPHERE</strong> has been concluded, the following machinery must be implemented for <strong>PROJECT CYBERSPHERE</strong>'s continuation:</p>

<p>Schematic drawing for AO-8747.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>SECTION A:</strong> Central Computing Node</p>
<p>AO-8747 will be manually operated by human cognitive and locomotive function. This engineering decision will enable personnel to access greater control and precision based on personal skepticism and professionalism. This also avoids non-human, automotive errors staff encountered from AI systems, and allow personnel to adjust to conditions that an Artificial Intelligence Conscript may fail to adapt.</p>
<p><strong>SECTION B:</strong> P. H. Ontokinetic Sink</p>
<p>The Placeholder Ontokinetic Sink will be added to read the sum of our reality's quantum informational content and converting said info into a comprehensive configuration, enabling AO-8747 and other connect systems to process and react data from our universe, whilst also allowing AO-8747 to access the Cybersphere.</p>
<p><strong>SECTION C:</strong> Dual Cylindrical-subconscious Transfer.</p>
<p>Two handpick subjects with surgically implanted Cognitive Adapters<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> will enter one of two of these devices. One inside and activated, their subconscious mind will be transferred to whatever esoteric medium AO-8747 has been selected; as of writing, AO-8747 is designed to specifically access the Cybersphere only.</p>
<p><strong>SECTION D:</strong> Resh-Norma Digital-rot Applicator.</p>
<p>Once the supposed extradimensional entities have been located, the RNDA will be manually operated by Foundation personnel to apply a conceptually application of accelerated digital rot towards the desired target. This process will result in selected data to be unusable, though this applied digital rot may result in Foundation or civilian computerized systems to become inoperable.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>[…]</em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> Why are we this having this Summit again? I've already filed a report to the Overseers, yet I've received no response. I only think of this as a distraction from my own work.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>Dir. Calvin Bold:</strong></span></span> This Summit was an order by the Overseers, as they currently have their hands full right now; to recap, this was called upon to determine whether Dir. Roseanne should be disbarred from her position due to her unprofessional actions, or not.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> A direction that I heavily disagree on; I am, or at least was, responsible for leading <strong>PROJECT CYBERSPHERE</strong>. I know more about the ins and outs of AO-8747 more than anyone in this room. So, if you give me your unconditionally support-</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> Support? You think you are the only here that needs "support", and no anyone else?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> That's not what I was trying to imply-</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> Look at how much shit the Foundation has to clean-up because of <em>your</em> mess; over 500 hundred containment breaches of anomalies needing to be deleted, tech staff can't code because if they make a mistake, they won't be able to undo it, people are questioning what's going on, we're burning thousands of Foundation resources, do I need to remind you that some "account" is leaking info about the formation of an anomalous terrorist group in Spain?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>Dir. Calvin Bold:</strong></span></span> Before we proceed, I may recommend that Dir. Arezu try to relax before continuing.</p>
<p><em><<span class="bt"><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>Dir. Calvin Bold:</strong></span></span> looks toward Dir. Arezu.></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>Dir. Calvin Bold:</strong></span></span> Agree?</p>
<p><em><<span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> presses his temples.></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> Agree.</p>
<p><em><<span class="bt"><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>Dir. Calvin Bold:</strong></span></span> then looks toward <span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span>></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>Dir. Calvin Bold:</strong></span></span> Now, I share the same thoughts that several of our members possess; what made you, and O5-8 believe this Group of Interest was, specifically, at the Cybersphere in the first place?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> I can't speak for the intentions of O5-8, but what several Cybersphere staff and I believe, is that this group is comprised of "deleted data"- what I mean by that is it's possible this Group of Interest came from an extra-dimensional timeline, or timelines that were "overwritten" in some manner; wherever that "deleted data" went to, it's like the Cybersphere.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>Dir. Calvin Bold:</strong></span></span> So, you're not 100% sure whether this "Department of Deletions" is actually in the Cybersphere or not?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> … No.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> So why invest lots of Foundation resources to deal with a threat that you're not even sure of?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> It was a direct Overseer order. I had no say on the project's direction, other than leading <strong>PROJECT CYBERSPHERE</strong> staff to its completion. Besides, it was an Apollyon-Class priority; does that speak for itself?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> It doesn't, however, mean we should disregard confirming whether the anomaly's there, or not.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> We? Who is this "we"? There was only me, staff, and Overseer. I don't recall you being involved.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> Fair argument.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>Dir. Calvin Bold:</strong></span></span> What this all means is, you were either correct in believing that this extradimensional group of entities were in the Cybersphere or got it wrong and wasted Foundation resources on nothing.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> That's… That might be it.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>Dir. Calvin Bold:</strong></span></span> Regardless of whether this group was truly in the Cybersphere or not, the fact of the matter is that your actions were incredibly irresponsible and led to the creation of an anomaly impacting both civilian and Foundation technology. So, I want to ask you this; why should anyone trust you in continuing to the project if you are going to create results this disastrous?</p>
<p><em><There is silence in the transcript.»</em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> I… I had no illicit intent. As stated earlier, I know the ins and outs of the project, more than anyone else, even some of the staff. I want to try, and work on fixing things.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> Like how you worked on the PH OS?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> What do you mean?</p>
<p><em><<span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> pulls out a series of documents from his lab coat, and places them onto his table.></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> This is the latest report from maintenance staff working on AO-8747.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> Where did you-</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> Just listen. In this report, they've conducted an inspected on the PH. OS, as it was the only part of AO-8747's schematics that didn't function properly; they've found out it was faulty, as during AO-8747's deactivation, the PH OS didn't because it was still trying to anchor itself and process data from the Cybersphere, whilst not registering the deactivation due to its faultiness. Therefore, this is another case of Foundation staff incompetence.</p>
<p><em><The room erupts with members berating over the discovery. <span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> flinches.></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> How, how come I wasn't briefed by this?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff2400"><strong>Dir. Arezu:</strong></span></span> I was having with a discussion with your staff about the matter and when I found out about what caused this disaster, the O4 Summit was scheduled to start in 40 minutes. I convinced them to hold-on to it, until the summit started.</p>
<p><em><<span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> stands-up from her chair.></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> But, but I can still fix this-</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>Dir. Calvin Bold:</strong></span></span> I believe you've "fixed" enough.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff9e59">ADDENDUM 8747/2:</span></span> Containment/Decommision Attempts.</p>
<p><strong>FOREWORD:</strong> Due to the aftereffects of O5-8's actions, containment projects relating to <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8474</span></span> must be approved by the O5 Council. All personnel, regardless of clearance and position, are welcome to provide their own proposals. Please note, many proposals have been omitted for brevity.</p>

<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>PROPOSAL:</strong> Intentionally sever association with <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span> within the Cybersphere via ontokinetic anomaly. (<a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-239">SCP-239</a>)</p>
<p><strong>COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY:</strong> <span class="bt"><span style="color: #ffc60b">APPROVED</span></span> (6-4-2)</p>
<p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Upon Overseer order, SCP-239 was allowed to be awoken from her medically induced coma. SCP-239 was then clarified about a "giant monster" affecting central computers, and was provided a brief description, casual description of <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span> and -A. She was then instructed both anomalies to be erased from existence and non-Foundation lifeforms to lose recall of said anomalies.</p>
<p>SCP-239 commanded the anomaly to be removed from existence, only for Foundation staff to report no noticeable changes from computerized systems<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup>. Civilian populations and Groups of Interest worldwide lacked recall regarding <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span>, only for the anomaly to be reported shortly after. This, however, has temporarily lessened Foundation resources in concealing the veil.</p>
<p>SCP-239 was re-contained shortly after.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>PROPOSAL:</strong> Engineer a machine capable of severing connections between our reality and the Cybersphere, thus invalidating <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span>'s effects.</p>
<p><strong>COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY:</strong> <span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff0000">DENIED</span></span> (4-8-0)</p>
<p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> N/A</p>
<p><em>Even if this machine worked as intended, it would render all digital systems useless worldwide as we are too dependent on the Cybersphere's existence, hindering Foundation operations significantly. AIAD, IT, and relevant staff required for developing and maintaining Foundation technology would be rendered obsolete. Finally, civilian populations are highly likely to believe anomalous phenomenon should all digital systems become dysfunctional. - O5-3</em></p>
<hr/>
<p style="text-align: center;">[30 PROPOSALS OMITTED]</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>PROPOSAL:</strong> Establish contact or influence a <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/sandrewswann-s-proposal/">hypernarrative entity</a> to contain/decommission <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span>.</p>
<p><strong>COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY:</strong> <span class="bt"><span style="color: #ffc60b">APPROVED</span></span> (10-2-0)</p>
<p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Five minutes following deployment of a specialized memetic agent into a medium containing high-energy narrative structures, O5-1 received a verified email from a SWN-001 entity, reading, "Do you guys ever learn from your mistakes?"</p>
<p>No further communication was received.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>PROPOSAL:</strong> Create an ontokinetic eigenweapon, capable of encapsulating <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span> in a dome-like medium, suppressing it's effects and potentially eradicating <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span>.</p>
<p><strong>COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY:</strong> <span class="bt"><span style="color: #ffc60b">APPROVED</span></span> (8-2-2)</p>
<p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> The proposed eigenweapon was created and <strong>PROJECT CYBERPSHERE</strong> staff confirmed it's intended, functional use of encapsulating <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span>; however, it was later discovered the capsule had no effect of suppressing it's effect. 20 minutes following usage, the capsule housing <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span> began to "corrupt" and 1 minute later, <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span>'s size has increased by approximately 5km in diameter. Reports of more digital systems rendered inoperable were followed.</p>
<p>Future similar proposals will not be accepted.</p>
<hr/>
<p style="text-align: center;">[130 PROPOSALS OMITTED]</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>PROPOSAL:</strong> One D-Class is to be surgically implanted with a Cognitive Adapter within their cerebellum. He is then to be provided false information of <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span> and directed into AO-8747's subconscious transfer device. From there, he is instructed to traverse to <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span> and vocalize infohazardous data of <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2521">●●|●●●●●|●●|●</a>, theoretically inducing a hostile attack onto it's position.</p>
<p><strong>COUNCIL VOTE SUMMARY:</strong> <span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff0000">DENIED</span></span> (2-9-1)</p>
<p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> N/A</p>
<p><em>While a creative theory, it is likely that ●●|●●●●●|●●|● will not attack <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span> itself, and instead attack the D-Class. Furthermore, there is even the possibility that ●●|●●●●●|●●|● will be virulent towards AO-8747's structure, which cannot be allowed as it is one of the few methods the Foundation possess of accessing the Cybersphere. - O5-7</em></p>

<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> Well, I've looked at the full file for the 8747 containment attempts; surprisingly, none of them work. I've already sent my own proposal, but I haven't heard from the Council since.</p>

<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> Yeah, but because of me and the O5's; speaking of which, I haven't heard from that bastard Eight for a while.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4dff4d"><strong>Dr. Parker:</strong></span></span> What about him?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> I'll get to that later, but for now, you said you want to help me, right?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4dff4d"><strong>Dr. Parker:</strong></span></span> Yeah. Do you want me to get you a snack, coffee, or…</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> How about this; you take this proposal I have and send it to the <strong>PROJECT CYBERSPHERE</strong> staff about it, okay? Maybe they'll respond to you sooner, since people here care more about you.</p>

<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> So, how about I just, rephrase it and it'll work.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4dff4d"><strong>Dr. Parker:</strong></span></span> Why are you even doing this, Rose? I find that unprofessional from a Department Head.</p>

<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> Listen, Parker. My face and name are spread all over Foundation news, even outside of our universe, as the biggest bitch the Foundation's ever hired. And during this, I've called Eight <em>many times</em> about how I could get out of this, and he's ignored me since the project went to shit. You know what that means?</p>
<p><em>«Silence again.»</em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #ff00d4"><strong>Dir. Roseanne:</strong></span></span> It means he just left me on the dust and out there doing God knows what, and I even could wind-up losing my job here; someone could easily say, "Overseers, this bitch who was the cause of your system's fuckups is not fit for the role Containment Director", and they'll be like, "Alright, let's fire this whore".</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4dff4d"><strong>Dr. Parker:</strong></span></span> Don't say that about yourself.</p>

<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4dff4d"><strong>Dr. Parker:</strong></span></span> Hey, hey. It's okay. I don't blame you. You were just following orders and we know what happens when you don't listen to an Overseer.</p>

<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #4dff4d"><strong>Dr. Parker:</strong></span></span> Oh, and don't worry too much about losing your job because of this, too; we've seen <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6747">worse after all</a>, yet they still work here, so I don't see why you would not.

<ul>
<li>O5-8, Overseer of Foundation Projects and Development.</li>
<li>Omar Amadi, liaison for the O5 Council and Ethics Committee.</li>

<p><em><Footage depicts O5-8 sitting in-front of his desk, with the two-armed officers standing behind him. Omar is sitting on the opposite end of O5-8, as the two guards mirror the ones upfront.></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> Hold on, hold on, hold on. Stop for a moment, I didn't understand. You want me to what?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Plead guilty to what happened on the project. That way, we could negotiate a reduced sentence between us and the Ethics.</p>
<p><em><For a moment, <span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8</strong></span></span> tilts his head slightly to the ground in annoyance as he slowly raises his right palm in the air. He then raises his head to face Omar, his arm descending down.></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> Listen, I didn't bring you here to tell me to incriminate myself about <strong>PROJECT CYBERSPHERE</strong> and let the Ethics take a shit on me. I told you to help me get out of this, because I got 12 other people wanting me gone for good, and nobody else wants to help me, but you. So please, give me that.</p>
<p><em><<span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8</strong></span></span> leans back on his chair>.</em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> Review the case properly, figure out whatever decision that nobody else could come up, testify for me, do something.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Testify to what? I wasn't even involved.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> Well, you could say that someone or something, like some outside anomaly sabotaged the entire thing, and maybe with that, I'll get less of the blame.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> That's deceptive, Overseer, and we both know that won't work- but, I'll try to "review the case properly", as you've instructed.</p>
<p><em><<span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> pulls out a pen from his pocket, and shuffles with his sheaf of papers.></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Where were you during the failure of <strong>PROJECT CYBERSPHERE</strong>?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> In my office, doing paperwork and waiting for updates from Roseanne.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Do you suspect Dir. Roseanne had anything to do with this?</p>
<p><em><<span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> looks down on his desk></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> Not really.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Did you, and Dir. Roseanne ever performed previous tests and maintenance check-ups of AO-8747 to see if there were any deficiencies?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> No.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Do you believe that lack of maintenance check was what led to <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span> being created in the first place?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> Yeah, but-</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> So that's the issue, more evidence that you, the one who ordered AO-8747 to be constructed, are responsible for the creation of <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span> and -A; normally, these kinds of ambitious projects needs all of the Overseers to vote, but because it was an Apollyon-Class priority, you and the rest of the Council decided it was okay to only allow one. Not to mention, you are an Overseer responsible for overseeing Foundation projects, so to have someone like you take the role of that kind is questionable.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Speaking of which, we both know the remaining Overseers are going to vote on whether they should kick you out, or not for that matter. The only ones who can overrule that are the Ethics Committee, and Administrator, which is unlikely they'll side with you because most of the Ethics Committee are working hard to make sure you are punished for what happened and figuring out who could take your place. More than 300 sites can't even work properly because of what you've caused, and more than a thousand digital anomalies have experienced containment difficulties thanks to <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span>, so from here on out, <em>you have to plead guilty to the Ethics Committee</em>.</p>
<p><em><<span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> places both of his hands onto his face, as his elbows are placed onto the desk to provide support. He lifts off his right arm and points it towards Omar>.</em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> You are very close to getting kicked out of <em>my</em> office, Amandi. Tell me you have at least something that I can work with, or leave before my guards do it for you.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> You could also go recommend a vote to go with Dir. Roseanne's idea to the Overseers, since you can overrule the O4's decision.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> Why should I do that? You know most of everyone's opinions are not on our side.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Since when did an Overseer care about what people think of them?</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> Omar…</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Okay, okay. Well, there isn't much of a choice for the Foundation to deal with containing <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span> itself, so the idea reprogramming AO-8747 to repair the Cybersphere isn't out of the question thanks to it's systems and hardware. Lots of engineers are constructing their own machines to deal with the anomaly, but why make a brand-new machine when we already have one?</p>
<p><em><<span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8</strong></span></span> lets out a chuckle.></em></p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #395e7f"><strong>O5-8:</strong></span></span> That's the best idea I've ever heard from you, Omar; using AO-8747 that caused <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span>, to fix <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span>. Love it.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Joke about it all you want. It's not going to get you anywhere, just like your idea of lying to the Ethics Committee. As dumb as it sounds, it's still a possibility that it could work and when we're in a situation where were spending millions a day just to keep the public hush-hush about what's going on, we need to explore every idea we have.</p>
<p><span class="bt"><span style="color: #b49f60"><strong>Omar Amandi:</strong></span></span> Remember, Roseanne's involved because you made her. If there's anyone at all who could show some sort of compassion- and who knows, get a <em>lesser sentence</em> thanks to said compassion- it's you.</p>

<p><strong>PROPOSAL:</strong> Based on evidence gathered, security footage, and testimonies of <strong>PROJECT CYBERSPHERE</strong> staff, it is the opinion of the O5 Council that O5-8 has majorly violated extensive Foundation policies, specifically those detailing Foundation project management and safety requirements, which led to the formation of an <span class="bt"><span style="color: #db5000">EKHI-</span></span>Class anomaly, resulting in the containment breach of over 1,000 digital anomalies and near collapse of the veil. As such, the O5 Council has deemed O5-8 to be unfit for an Overseer role and must be preemptively replaced. Below contains a summarized vote regarding O5-8's position.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> As the vote is directed towards a Foundation Overseer, O5-8's vote will not be considered.</p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>INTENT:</strong> Eradicate <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span>'s current nature, thereby neutralizing the anomaly, and anomalously repair its sector to pre-<span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span> status. This requires re-engineering of AO-8747's mechanics and functionality, whilst omitting usage of human sub-conscious transfer.</p>
<p><strong>HYPOTHESIS:</strong> By eradicating <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span>, and repairing its sector within the Cybersphere, <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span>'s effects will be invalidated. Though while this is a hypothesis, the accurate outcome of <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747-A</span></span>'s eradication is uncertain; therefore, all IT, technical, and AIAD personnel must commence preparations for misplaced scenarios by this attempt.</p>
<p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> Decommission attempt successful; Foundation computerized systems are now able to successfully overwrite undesired data prior to <span class="bt"><span style="color: #52a3cc">SCP-8747</span></span>'s effects. Furthermore, future Foundation projects involving manipulation of the Cybersphere has been indefinitely suspended, with the exception of unanimous approval by the O5 Council.</p>

<p>Poplar Street, location of SCP-8749-A's discovery.</p>

</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8749 is believed to be a one-time event. SCP-8749-A has been interred at the <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6664">Site-86</a> mortuary as it displays no anomalous properties. Barring further anomalous activity, monitoring of the Rivera residence and SCP-8749-B is to conclude on March 8, 2025.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8749 was an event that occurred on either March 7 or 8, 2024, sometime between 20:14 and 01:58 hours. SCP-8749's locus was Bennett Rivera, an 18-year-old resident of Harrow, Nevada, United States. SCP-8749 resulted in the creation of SCP-8749-A.</p>
<p>SCP-8749-A is the corpse of Bennett Rivera, discovered in the early morning of March 8 lying face down on the sidewalk near Rivera's residence at 3749 Poplar Street. SCP-8749-A displays severe injuries consistent with multiple direct lightning strikes<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>. Despite this, SCP-8749-A's clothing and possessions display no such damage. SCP-8749-A was discovered with the following items on its person:</p>
<ul>
<li>An iPhone 13</li>
<li>A pair of Apple AirPods playing the song "Hokus Pokus" by Insane Clown Posse on repeat</li>
<li>A THC pen</li>
<li>An unlabelled water bottle containing a mixture of vodka and Mountain Dew-brand soft drink</li>
<li>A can of Krylon-brand spray paint, red</li>
</ul>
<p>SCP-8749-B is Bennett Rivera, who left his home at 20:14 hours on March 7, telling his mother that he and his friends were going to hang out at a local park. Between this time and his return at 01:58 the next day, Rivera is completely unaccounted for. The friends in question, 18-year-old Harrow residents Rafaela Morales and Sean Skeritt, claimed that, while they did intend to meet up with Rivera, he did not show up to the intended meeting spot at any point in the night. SCP-8749-B displays limited memory of the nearly 6 hour time period between leaving and returning to his home (see Addendum).</p>

<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. Stephanie Mulberry</p>
<p><strong>Interviewee:</strong> Bennett Rivera (SCP-8749-B)</p>

<p><strong>[BEGIN LOG]</strong></p>
</div>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> Hello, Bennett.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Hello, Ms. Mulberry.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> I'm sure you're aware of the circumstances of our interview.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> They say they found my body outside my house.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> To put it shortly, yes. Are you—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Sorry to interrupt, but how can everyone tell— why does everyone think that, you know, the body on the street is mine? I mean, like, I'm right here, aren't I? Like, it's all charred and sh— and stuff, like, and I don't even own any of that stuff, so like—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> The body was wearing the clothes you were wearing the night of the seventh, and matches your height and dimensions. Plus, DNA analysis has proven a match.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Oh, uh, right, uh, okay. Um, for the record, though, I don't know why it would have any of that s—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> Bennett, could you please let me ask my questions? This will move a lot faster.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Right, um. Yes, sorry ma'am.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> That's quite alright. Now, first, where were you intending to go on the night of the seventh?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> My mom, uh, already told you guys, probably. Me and my friends were gonna go to the, uh, the park by my house. They both drove there but I was close enough so I decided to walk.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> What did you intend to do at the park?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8749-B visibly tenses.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Um, we were just gonna, like, talk about stuff. Not really do much. We go there every now and then and, like, sit on the swings and talk. Just, like, about things. You know?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> I'm a professional interviewer, Bennett. I can tell when you're lying. Please just tell me all of the details you can. I'm not a cop. You're not in trouble. We just need to figure out what happened. Okay?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Are you, um, are you gonna tell my mom about any of this?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> No.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8749-B gestures to the audio recorder.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Can this be off the record?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> If that would make you more comfortable.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8749-B nods. Dr. Mulberry motions as if turning off the audio recorder, but does not actually switch it off<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> Of course. Now, what were you and your friends planning on doing at the park?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> We were just gonna get crossed<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> and, like, walk around and talk about school and stuff. And, uh, we were going to graffiti some stuff. But that was Sean's idea. I didn't want to. Please don't tell my mom.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> I won't. Now, did you end up making it to the park?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> No, ma'am.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> Why?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Well, uh, it was storming pretty bad outside<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup>, and, well, I kept looking at the lightning 'cause it was really pretty. And, and, uh.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8749-B trails off.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> Hm?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Sorry. The, uh, the lightning was really pretty, and—</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8749-B trails off again.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> No, it wasn't. The lightning was really scary. I'm terrified of lightning. I wanted to go inside. But I kept looking at it. I don't know why. It's like that thing they say about looking at car crashes.</p>
<p><em>[Silence for several seconds.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> I was looking… and it was so beautiful. And I. And.</p>
<p><em>[Silence for several seconds.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Sorry, what did you say?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> Why didn't you make it all the way to the park?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Right. Well, um, I was staring at the lightning for a long time. I don't know how long but it felt like forever. It was in my way, I think, like it would strike me if I got any closer to the park. So I stopped and just looked. It was terrifying.</p>
<p><em>[Silence for several seconds.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> I didn't want to keep going. I knew Rafaela and Sean were waiting for me but I didn't want to go. It was too scary. I was so fucking— I was really, really scared. I couldn't look down at the street because I knew what was there, and—</p>
<p><em>[Silence for several seconds.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> And I don't remember what happened after that but I came home and my pen and the bottle weren't in my pocket anymore and I couldn't bring myself to look behind me and I felt bad for leaving my friends but the thunder got quieter as I ran away and I didn't want to be anywhere but inside and I felt like a whole different person but I just couldn't stop thinking about the lightning and how it would've killed me if I kept going forward, and, and—</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8749-B begins crying.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> I don't ever want to do that again. I'm sorry, okay, I'm gonna stop smoking, okay, just please don't tell my mom. I'm not about that anymore, I promise, okay, just— just—</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8749-B collapses onto the table.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8749-B:</strong> Can I please just go home?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Mulberry:</strong> This interview is concluded. We can finish this later.</p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>Afterword:</strong> <em>SCP-8749-B has proven immune to attempts to amnesticize him of the events of March 7-8. As such, we've been monitoring the Rivera residence for any information breaches, but due to SCP-8749-B's unwillingness to discuss the event with anyone, we believe he poses a minimal risk to normalcy and, as such, containment is not necessary.</em></p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8750 is held in a standard type-X cell.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8750 is a former Foundation researcher, Ashe Barker. SCP-8750 is a Type 4-U Reality Bender.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> SCP-8750 is currently contained at Site-97 in Brandon, Florida, where they were working when they entered an anomalous coma.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> Relocation of SCP-8750 has been deemed unviable as the manifestation of anomalous properties happens regardless of SCP-8750's location. SCP-8750 has conjured up several spectral entities, designated SCP-8750-1 to SCP-8750-3. The entities manifested by SCP-8750 act out scenarios from SCP-8750's past.</p>
<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> SCP-8750’s anomalous nature was found on 2016/12/29 when reports of a child resembling the late Jacob Barker<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup>, now designated SCP-8750-1 was reported to have been wandering the town aimlessly.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum SCP-8750.1</strong> SCP-8750 was found to affect the area around their house.<br/>
Reports of SCP-8750-1 led MTF Δ-29 (“Outside the Box”) to the apartment, where they established a temporary on-site location to collect data. Appearances of SCP-8750-1 also contained a second entity, identified to be a spectral version of SCP-8750, designated SCP-8750-2, as well as the occasional appearance of a third entity. This was identified as Dr. Robert Osprey,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> and is designated SCP-8750-3.</p>

<p>SCP-8762</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8762 is a <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">middle aged</span> man of indeterminate age who identifies himself as "Steve".<span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">SCP-8762 has responded to a variety of names, including, but not limited to; Hubert, Larry, John, Bob, and Juggletron.</span> No records of SCP-8762 exist in any known country, region, or sovereign state. Physically, SCP-8762 is non-anomalous and has the same physiological requirements as typical humans.</p>
<p>SCP-8762 has one noticeable, yet extremely potent anomalous effect: whenever SCP-8762 is within close proximity of any anomalous location or object, their abilities will temporarily cease; the reason behind this is currently unknown. Anomalous personnel will remain conscious, although any abilities will cease until SCP-8762 exits the anomalies proximity. SCP-8762 must be awake, conscious, and in a healthy mental state for this to occur. <span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">Although entering REM sleep doesn't negate this effect, medically induced comas appear to do so.</span></p>
<p>SCP-8762 was first discovered at Site-01. Camera footage showed SCP-8762 wandering through the hallways for fifteen minutes, appearing extremely confused. After being noticed by several security guards, SCP-8762 was detained and interviewed. Extensive testing revealed that SCP-8762 was not associated with any known group of interest.</p>
<p>SCP-8762 emits no Humes, Akiva radiation, or any forms of anomalous energy, thereby eliminating the possibility of it being a weapon. After it temporarily neutralized SCP-001, it was designated as SCP-8762.</p>
<p>Below is an interview log between SCP-8762 and Foundation researcher Elizabeth Carter.</p>

<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> Good afternoon Steve, hope everything is going well with you.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> It's going.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> Excellent. I'm going to ask you a few things if that's alright with you, need to learn a bit about you and whatnot.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> Go ahead.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> Can you tell me about your background? Where are you from?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> No clue.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> Pardon?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> Just woke up here, really.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> You don't remember anything about your past? Family, friends, occupation?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> No, sorry.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<em>SCP-8762 picks its nose, looking around the room for a moment.</em><br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> …let's discuss your daily routine. What do you usually do during the day?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> I wake up, have breakfast, walk around a bit, maybe read a book or watch TV, then I have lunch, walk around some more, have dinner.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> And?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> Then I go to bed.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<em>Dr. Carter pauses.</em><br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> So you don't remember anything before appearing.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> Seems so.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> But you do have a plan for every day, despite the fact you don't remember why you're here? Or anything?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> Just what comes to mind when you mention it, can't really remember doing that.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> I see. Do you have any hobbies? <em>Interests?</em><br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> Not really. I just do normal things.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> What exactly are "normal" things?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> Watching TV, mainly.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> What do you watch? Movies? Any shows?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> The weather channel.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<em>Dr. Carter clenches her fist around her pen. SCP-8762 does not notice.</em><br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> How do you feel about not having any history or memories prior to your appearance here? For all that we know, you could have a family searching for you, or maybe a big career, or-<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> I guess it's a bit strange, but I don't think about it much.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Carter:</strong> …And if we were to ask you to stay here for an extended period, how would you feel about that?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCP-8762:</strong> Don't have anywhere else to be.<br/>

<p>Following confirmation of SCP-8762's anomalous traits, it was exposed to several minor anomalies to test the limits of its abilities.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Test 1</strong><br/>
<strong>Anomaly:</strong> <a href="/scp-6161">SCP-6161</a>, a cake knife that causes all cut objects to become cake.<br/>
<strong>Results:</strong> SCP-8762 used SCP-6161 on various items, all resulting in nothing remarkable. He frowned, proclaiming that "You me promised cake, this is a knife."</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Test 5</strong><br/>
<strong>Anomaly:</strong> <a href="/scp-8022">SCP-8022</a>, a clay brick. Whenever it strikes an individual, they will vividly dream. Individuals hurt by SCP-8022 sustain trauma typical of being hit by a brick.<br/>
<strong>Results:</strong> <tt>[TESTING HALTED PER O5 ORDER]</tt></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Test 8</strong><br/>
<strong>Anomaly:</strong> <a href="/scp-609">SCP-609</a>, a growing collection of identical green billiard balls capable of being moved telepathically.<br/>
<strong>Results:</strong> SCP-8762 is requested to attempt to move SCP-609. Upon attempting for several minutes, <span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">During this time, SCP-8762 held out its hands and loudly grunted, sweating and growing red.</span> it responded, exhausted; "That's enough thinking for now."</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Test 11</strong><br/>
<strong>Anomaly:</strong> <a href="/scp-113">SCP-113</a>, a small gemstone capable of causing anyone who touches it to swap biological sexes.<br/>
<strong>Results:</strong> Results pending. SCP-8762's sex is currently unknown, as all biological scans give mixed results. When asked, it replied with "I'm John."</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Test 13</strong><br/>
<strong>Anomaly:</strong> <a href="/scp-6914">SCP-6914</a>, a small sign that says "KEEP OFF GRASS". If individuals step on grass located near SCP-6914, they will then be struck by lightning.<br/>
<strong>Results:</strong> SCP-8762 proceeded to step on the grass with no issues, although later stated that it felt "a bit inconsiderate."</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Test 44</strong><br/>
<strong>Anomaly:</strong> SCP-173<br/>
<strong>Results:</strong> Initially, SCP-8762 stood within the same room as SCP-173 and did not report any findings. Shortly afterwards, however, personnel report a mild swelling in SCP-8762's face, which it attributed to "a mild peanut allergy".<span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">SCP-8762 had no known allergies, nor has it eaten any peanuts.</span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span> Moments later, SCP-8762 spontaneously combusted.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Following its untimely death, personnel discovered that its remains still shared the same properties as the anomaly itself. Lead theories suggest that SCP-8762 "absorbed" the properties of other anomalies. Because of this, smaller fragments of it are still capable of weakening anomalous effects. Following research, a new, revised file for SCP-8762 is available below.</p>

<p>Master Thaumaturge Matthias Walters, demonstrating SCP-8765's effects.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Development of a unified Standard Model of physics is to be delayed by Foundation efforts for as long as possible. The discovery of any biological, neurological, chemical, or mathematical foundations for thaumaturgy by mainstream science is to be suppressed indefinitely, until a proper explanation or cover story can be given for SCP-8765's existence.</p>
<p>Research Task Force Delta-4 has been formed solely to investigate the SCP-8765 phenomenon. Artifacts uncovered by RTF Delta-4 that are believed to be connected to SCP-8765 are to be treated as anomalous objects, even if displaying no blatant anomalies properties; see <strong>Relevant Materials</strong> below.</p>
<p>Should SCP-8765 prove to be reversible, no attempts are to be made to neutralize the phenomenon until full risk assessment can be concluded by the Department of Thaumaturgy, Department of Archeology, and Ethics Committee.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8765 is humanity's inability to properly engage with thaumaturgy.</p>
<p>The field of thaumaturgy — as described, practiced, and used by sub-Veil communities — was formally classified as a non-anomalous phenomenon in 2014. Foundation advancement within various scientific fields has been capable of deriving all known extant forms of thaumaturgy through non-anomalous means, implying it is a wholly natural phenomenon. It is estimated that mainstream academia will discover the physics, chemistry, and biology underlying thaumaturgy in approximately twenty years (if left unimpeded).</p>
<p>SCP-8765 refers to the only known inconsistency between practiced thaumaturgy and the Foundation Standard Model. According to FSM, <strong>Mana</strong> (also known as <strong>Elan-Vital Energy</strong>) employed by sentient beings in thaumaturgy should be biologically processed at ~96% efficiency; however, in practice no human has been able to use Mana with more than 9% efficiency, with a vast majority of the Mana's energy being radiated from the spell itself. This conversion is poorly understood, and cannot be explained by the Foundation's current understanding of science.</p>
<p>Thus far, over fifteen alternative models to the FSM have been proposed to account for SCP-8765, though each has been discredited for various reasons. Similarly, no biological factors that would theoretically limit the use of thaumaturgy have been found by Foundation biologists or chemists thus far. Nonetheless, it is hypothesized that — similar to thaumaturgy itself — SCP-8765 is non-anomalous, though this has not yet been proven. Research has been ongoing.</p>
<hr/>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:110%;"><strong>Relevant Materials</strong></span></p>
<hr/>
<p>Various anomalous artifacts have been uncovered that are believed to be related to SCP-8765. The exact relation to the phenomenon are unclear; they are detailed below for referential purposes. For access to an individual anomaly, please consult RTF Delta-4.<br/>

<div class="scp-image-caption">
<p>SCP-8765-A</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>SCP-8765-A</strong> is a beryllium bronze<span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">Beryllium Bronze was often used in ancient anomalous constructs due to its unique interactions with anomalous phenomenon, versatility, and easy mass-production via thaumaturgy.</span> amulet that was uncovered in an Eastern Mongolian dig site. SCP-8765-A, although partially damaged, is inscribed with a multitude of thaumaturgic spells alongside other unidentified carvings, the latter of which are believed to be thaumaturgic in nature. Residual Mana in the surrounding area of the dig site suggests that the amulet's spells were in the process of being cast, before the caster died unexpectedly. Remains of the caster could not be found.</p>
<p>Of the engravings present on SCP-8765-A, the following spells have been concretely identified:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><em>Juu Moto</em></strong>, a modifier-spell combination that heats the area above the surface it is engraved on, paired with various other unidentified bindings.</li>
<li><strong><em>Gandisha</em></strong>, a spell that reduces the temperature of the material it is engraved on.<span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">The purpose of this is unclear, as beryllium bronze displays no unique thaumic properties until near absolute-zero temperatures.</span></li>
<li><strong><em>Kuzuia</em></strong>, a spell located on the back of the amulet that produces a tangible surface projected from the surface of the spell itself.</li>
<li><strong><em>Msingi</em></strong>, a fundamental spell that erases itself and all encompassed spells when cast.<span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">The engravings for this spell appear to have been broken, preventing this spell from possibly being cast by the amulet's wielder.</span></li>
<li>Various thaumic regulators/distributors, designed to automatically channel correct proportions of Mana without conscious thought.<span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">Of note: <em>Msingi</em> is not directly channeled through any existing bindings.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Thaumic dating suggests that SCP-8765-A is roughly 6000±1500 years old. Attempts to recreate or achieve the intended function of SCP-8765-A have been unsuccessful, as its bindings require extremely large quantities of Mana as input.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>SCP-8765-B</strong> is a nearly-complete human skeleton, roughly 4500±1000 years old, discovered over six kilometers into the Dark Star cave system in eastern Uzbekistan. Although not displaying anomalous properties — save for an abnormal excess of latent Mana, similar to SCP-8765-A — there are several irregularities present in the skeleton that are currently inexplicable.</p>
<p>The most notable irregularity is the severe discoloration present along numerous fractures across the skeleton, concentrated on the skull and left arm. The source of the fractures and the discoloration are still debated, though analysis has shown that the discoloration tends to be more prominent inside the bone (or cavity) than outside it, possibly suggesting a biological origin.</p>
<div class="scp-image-block block-left" style="width:250px;"><img alt="thaumaturgeskull.png" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-8765/thaumaturgeskull.png"/>
<div class="scp-image-caption">
<p>SCP-8765-B's skull.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>SCP-8765-B's skull and feet both contain abnormal bone structures. SCP-8765-B's skull contains an additional, fused bone that covers the entirety of the nasal canal, while SCP-8765-B's feet appear to possess fused metatarsal bones, amalgamating part of both feet into two solid blocks. Whether this fusion was due to an unknown genetic mutation, anomalous effect, or different process entirely is unknown.</p>
<p>In addition, various areas of SCP-8765-B appear to have artificial holes running through them. These holes are present across various bones, including parts of the ribcage, spinal cord, humerus, illium, fused metatarsal bones, and (in a single case) the base of the skull. Each of these holes has contained at least a small trace of beryllium bronze.</p>
<p>Above the occipital bone of the skull, an early alchemical symbol for blood was found carved into the bone. Whether this was performed premortem or postmortem is the subject of ongoing debate, although the symbol appears to be heavily affected by the aforementioned discoloration.</p>
<p>Due to the inaccessibility of the Dark Star cave system, as well as how deep SCP-8765-B is present within it, the Foundation has thus far elected to not extract the skeleton. Future expeditions by non-Foundation groups are to be monitored closely for other possible artifacts that could exist in the cave system.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>SCP-8765-C</strong> is an anomalously preserved Chinese red pine tree, located near the Jishi Gorge in Haidong, Qinghai, China. Several unidentified thaumaturgical spells were used in its preservation; the spellbindings present are infused with enough latent Mana to continue functioning for an estimated 37,000 years, a feat unachievable by the entire human population's Mana output combined for over ten years.</p>
<p>Engraved on SCP-8765-C's bark are three unknown scripts, one resembling the Oracle Bone Script from ancient China. While linguistically exact definitions are difficult or impossible to ascertain, SCP-8765-C possesses the anomalous property of conveying the meaning of its inscribed words to witnesses regardless of their linguistic capabilities. After discussion among Foundation historians, linguists, and thaumaturgists, the following is a reproduction of the presumed intended message of SCP-8765-C:</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<h1 id="toc0"><span>THE LAST EULOGY</span></h1>
<h4 id="toc1"><span>From the river came life, to the sea it will flow,</span></h4>
<h4 id="toc2"><span>Swirling floods of water to ripples of blood,</span></h4>
<h4 id="toc3"><span>Even the strongest tree will have its roots come undone,</span></h4>
<h4 id="toc4"><span>By our own hand, we will all return to the sea.</span></h4>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
</blockquote>
</div>
<p>SCP-8765-C is estimated to be approximately 3700 years old. The context for this poem remains unknown.</p>

<strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Satellite data is to be altered to hide the presence of SCP-8770. Ship traffic is diverted from the area via the placement of several isolated danger buoys around the perimeter and anchored to the anomaly. These are to be checked by a Foundation team on a monthly basis to ensure that their placement has not shifted.
<p>In the event that a buoy's placement has shifted, a diving team is to be dispatched and SCP-8770 is to be monitored for changes in its geometry, the buoys then adjusted accordingly to these shifts.</p>
<p>Otherwise, the anomaly is to be left abandoned.</p>
<p>SCP-8770 is not to be inhabited.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8770 is a vessel in a state of irregular structural flux, located upon the sea floor of the Atlantic Ocean at ██°██'███.█''N, -██°██'██.█''W. The exterior of the anomaly most frequently resembles that of a man-made, sunken vessel roughly 355 meters in length on average.</p>
<p>While external changes of SCP-8770 occur at seemingly random intervals, notable or consistent shifts have included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Changes in materials that make up outer structures — metal into wood, wood into metal, instances of stone, fabric or glass.</li>
<li>Occurrences of new walls, suggestions of the creation of addition internal rooms.</li>
<li>Large junctions of metal beams jutting downwards towards the sea floor</li>
<li>Indistinct railings along top portions or formed balconies</li>

<p>All structures are often in states of high decay and water damage. The undersea area around SCP-8770 is almost a complete ecological dead zone, devoid of all marine life, with the exception of some corals that have grown on the structure of the anomaly.</p>
<p>During initial analysis, it was discovered that SCP-8770 exerts a minor memetic influence on its surroundings — increasing feelings of unease and discomfort in those that are within 5 meters of its exterior.</p>
<p>All attempts to access the interior of SCP-8770 via unmanned submersibles have resulted in the complete cessation of all technological functions upon entry. Approximately three submersibles were lost before the prospect of a manned investigation was proposed and subsequentially approved.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8770:</strong> The first four manned expeditions into SCP-8770 were undergone to determine the internal dimensions of SCP-8770's interior. Teams were instructed to remain on the outskirts, staying along the exterior wall as much as possible. Over the course of these explorations, the following was noted:</p>
<ul>
<li>Interior was notably clear of any water damage that is expected of a structure of its nature</li>
<li>The appearances and disappearances of hallways, doors and windows at random</li>
<li>SCP-8770's interior dimensions have been recorded differently each perimeter expedition</li>
<li>SCP-8770's interior does not match the dimensions of its exterior, in spite of exterior shifts</li>
</ul>
<p>The fifth expedition was an attempt to discover the center of SCP-8770.</p>
<p><strong>Exploration Log 8770.5:</strong></p>
<div class="blockquote" style="background: none;">
<p><strong>Foreword:</strong> Three members of MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") — codenamed BLACK CARPET, NINGEN and MATAGI CARCASS — were deployed to find the center of SCP-8770.</p>
<p>To determine if SCP-8770's memetic properties intensify by internal proximity, the heart rate of all present individuals were monitored and recorded.</p>
<hr/>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>COMMAND:</strong> <em>Gamma-6, do you read?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> Copy that, Command.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:black;"><strong>[MATAGI CARCASS' BPM IS STABLE]</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>COMMAND:</strong> <em>Good. Proceed into SCP-8770.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The team approaches the top portion of SCP-8770. This section has the appearance of the upper deck of a commercial fishing ship. There are broken posts and rotted barrels. Two paddle wheels emerge from parts of the hull, their bottom-halves seemingly fused into the rusted metal. These antiquated pieces appear out of time and place.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>SCP-8770 visibly stretches on for rough 30 meters in all directions, the rest of the anomaly obscured by the water’s turbidity — leaving only distant, towering silhouettes and shadows against the blue.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The water is still, devoid of movement and life aside from Gamma-6 as they draw closer. Their swimming stirs bursts of dust and debris when they level with the deck.</em></span></p>

<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> There's an opening in the floor of the hull up ahead. Should make for easy entry.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> I see it too.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The three swim to the gap in the hull. There is a ladder covered in algae and barnacles that descends into the space. The team swims inside.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The interior appears like that of a standard submersible, though in the growing absence of sunlight all three members of Gamma-6 turn on their headlights. The three's respirators are the only sounds detected.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>NINGEN takes a roll of reflective, waterproof tape and wraps a strip around one of the rungs of the ladder.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> I'll use these to keep track of where we're going. This place is a labyrinth.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> Good thinking. <em>[She pauses]</em> Let's hope there isn't a minotaur.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>There's a quiet laugh amongst the team.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> You sure that’s gonna work, though? The interior of this place seems to shuffle around.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Hopefully, when it shuffles, there’s a rhyme-and-reason to it. If we find our markings, they may still lead us back — especially with one right by the exit.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>NINGEN pats the ladder, the orange tape now fastened to the rung.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> It’s also better than nothing at all.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>MATAGI CARCASS nods.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> You think there's something in here they want us to find?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> Since the other teams found squat on the outskirts, they wanna see if there's a center to this thing. They just wanna know if it <em>has</em> one, y’know? A source. Not like there's any actual traces of life around this thing, anything that's mobile seems to avoid it like the plague.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> <em>[She nods again]</em> Well, that's good for us I'd reckon.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>NINGEN cuts the tape, and pulls away. BLACK CARPET has since pulled out a heavy duty compass.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Alright, let's get moving.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The other two nod, and follow him as he begins to swim down the corridor. The visibility is considerably low, only allowing sight roughly a meter ahead. After approximately ten seconds of swimming, a hatch is seen at the end of the hall.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> …it's like a warship's hall in here, all untouched.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> I'll open the hatch.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>NINGEN goes to reach wheel handle, only for it to turn before he can grasp it. There's a loud hissing heard as NINGEN gasps through his respirator.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:black;"><strong>[NINGEN'S BPM HAS RAISED]</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> The hell—?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The hatch wheel turns in a full circle, before the hatch itself slowly opens inwards without being</em></span> <em><span class="depths">touched</span>. <span style="color:black;"><br/>
MATAGI CARCASS and BLACK CARPET come to a stop behind NINGEN.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> …I feel a current.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> Me too.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Command? Door just opened itself.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>COMMAND:</strong> <em>Noted. Keep going, but be on alert.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>Through the hatch is an open room.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>A living room.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>Several pieces of furniture are situated around the space, all facing an inactive television. A coffee table with a few coasters and an empty glass upon it. The floor is carpeted. A bookshelf is situated against the far wall. BLACK CARPET approaches it.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> <em>[She swims to the center of the room, and turns in a small circle]</em> It's… not rotted. No coral, no rust — nothing. So at least it’s… consistent?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Yet the outside looks like it's been underwater for decades. <em>[He brushes a hand along the carpet, it stirs no debris]</em> Hm.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>There is a pause of silence amongst the team.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> You think that lamp over there would be a good place to tape?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Yeah, I'd reckon so.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>NINGEN glances back at the hatch. It is still open. He swims over to a lamp that sits in the corner and begins to wind the reflective tape around it.</em></span></p>

<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> Someone come look at this so I know my eyes aren't playing tricks on me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>MATAGI CARCASS and NINGEN turn to her. NINGEN approaches.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>BLACK CARPET is holding one of the books from the shelf. Despite being within the water, it is undamaged and unaffected. She turns to show it to NINGEN.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>Random assortments of words and letters fill the pages without rhyme or reason. Some are shown to be blank when BLACK CARPET begins to page through.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Yeah, yeah no you're seeing that right. It's all… <em>[He traces a finger along the page]</em> gibberish.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> They're all like this.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>MATAGI CARCASS turns to the rest of the room. On the far side, past the couch and lamp, is the open entryway to a kitchen. She swims inside to investigate.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>Within is a dining table, four seats situated around it. Like the living room, the place is untouched by rot, rust or any other signs of water damage. Upon the table are placemats, plates, silverware — all organized and laid out. Empty cups. A set of cupboards line the one wall above a counter with an inlaid sink. Along the same wall rests a fridge and an oven, the wires from the fridge are spread out all over the floor. None of them seem to be live.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>NINGEN and BLACK CARPET enter the kitchen as well.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> It's like… everybody up and left. Table's set for dinner and everything.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> Are there any actual signs of this place ever being inhabited?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>MATAGI CARCASS opens one of the cupboards. It is empty. She opens another. It is empty. She opens the fridge, and it too is empty. The light inside it does not turn on.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> …I don't think so. All empty.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>NINGEN's respirator hisses as he exhales.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Command? We've found an empty living room and kitchen. No sign of any past habitation or life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>COMMAND:</strong> <em>Affirmative. Are there any other paths?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>BLACK CARPET is experimentally turning the knobs on the oven. The one burner begins to glow a soft red when she turns it up. Swiftly, she turns it back off — than glances over her shoulder at NINGEN.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> I saw another hall past the bookshelf.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> We'll head there.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>COMMAND:</strong> <em>Very well. Proceed.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The team exits the kitchen as a group, and BLACK CARPET leads the way.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>At the end of the hall is a child's bedroom.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>Like the living room, its interior conditions are pristine in spite of its sunken nature. There's a small bed against the far wall, a nightstand by its side. A bureau is a few meters away, with a lamp resting upon it. Everything is untouched, undamaged, unscathed. The walls appear to be pale, but the exact color is difficult to discern due to the water.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>MATAGI CARCASS finds the interior of the bureau to be filled with children's clothes. Unworn. She swiftly closes the drawer to keep them from floating upwards.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>A teddy bear is suspended at the ceiling, back facing the floor.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>NINGEN swims up to retrieve it. He turns the bear in his hands to examine its front.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>It's face and front is covered in mold and rot. Festering, dark splotches. Bits of coral.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>He releases it with a hiss of his respirator.</em></span></p>

<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Jesus—!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> NINGEN, the hell—?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Well— fuck. Found our first trace of — of water damage inside this thing.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>BLACK CARPET swims over, and takes the bear. She examines it.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> Sure is… this was up against the ceiling, right?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Yeah— yeah it was.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>MATAGI CARCASS swims upwards and puts her hand against the ceiling. She tries to push against it, test it for any weakness or damage, but it does not give.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> …still pretty solid up here. The ceiling itself doesn't seem to be damaged.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> …huh. I wonder why that thing's like that, then.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> Hell if I know — but it may mean something.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>As MATAGI CARCASS pauses to think, BLACK CARPET turns her attention down to the bear in her hands.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> I'm gonna leave this in here, we can bring it back with us on the swing back to see if it's… got anything specifically weird about it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Sounds good.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>She releases it. It floats back up to the ceiling. Its rotted face now stares down at the floor.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The team quietly swims out of the room.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>There is a new door on the left hall. It is ajar.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> Ah.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Well, that’s the first structural shift we’ve seen while in here.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> Not uncharacteristic of the anomaly, but good to note.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> It's a way forward, is it not?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>There is a moment of silence, before NINGEN relays the door's appearance to COMMAND.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>COMMAND:</strong> <em>Proceed deeper.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Very well.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>They enter through the door after NINGEN marks the handle with tape, and begin traveling down the new hallway. Extraneous exchanges over the next hour and a half have been removed for brevity.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>Over the course of this time, the team passes forty-four bedrooms, eighteen kitchens, twenty-six bathrooms, and fourteen living rooms. The furniture within range wildly in time period, mixes of modern and ranging previous centuries with little consistency.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>Periodically, they leave indication of their path via fluorescent tape.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>As they progress through hallway after hallway — it is noted by the team that water damage and rust has become noticeable in places. There are holes in some walls, piping visible within. Discordant rods of metal, scattered instances of rotted wood or furniture against otherwise pristine pieces.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The team stops for a brief break within the fifteenth living room, having to have opened a ship hatch to enter it. The hatch is left ajar behind them. There is a window on the far wall of the room. NINGEN shifts to check the levels of oxygen within their tanks.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>BLACK CARPET holds up the compass and glances at the window. It indicates that she is facing south. Theoretically, this window's placement is impossible in relation to the rest of SCP-8770.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>Beyond it is an expanse of water. BLACK CARPET's light illuminates off a massive tangle of wires and pipes in the distance. There are unclear silhouettes past it all that appear to be moving. The body camera footage shows only blurs. There is a faint current emanating.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:black;"><strong>[BLACK CARPET'S BPM HAS RAISED]</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>MATAGI CARCASS is instead examining the walls of the connecting halls, glancing around at the rooms.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> It almost feels… deliberate.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> Deliberate?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> It's been on my mind since the first room. This all feels like it's… like all this has been set up for something.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>BLACK CARPET turns away from the window.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> Or someone.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> …yeah.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> Maybe it was <em>supposed</em> to be, but I don't think it is anymore.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>BLACK CARPET turns back to the window. It is gone.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> Like when the landlord paints the walls to hide the wood rot.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>She traces the now-wall with one hand, glove sliding over the water-damaged metal and dry-wall. Flecks of rust float off into the water.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> You reckon we're… diving past those cover-ups, then?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>BLACK CARPET:</strong> <em>[She nods]</em> Peeling back the paint.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>MATAGI CARCASS:</strong> If we keep going, maybe we'll find what this thing truly is then. Dive past the walls, find the heart — yeah?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The team nods. NINGEN informs COMMAND of the plan to continue deeper after ten minutes of rest.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>COMMAND:</strong> <em>Your oxygen tanks contain enough air for roughly five more hours. Be safe.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>MTF Gamma-6 proceeds forward. In spots, the wall paper has entirely peeled away — revealing metal and wires, wooden planks.</em></span></p>

<p><span style="color:black;"><em>30 minutes of travel passes.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>At the 31st minute, MATAGI CARCASS notices that one of the rotted boards along the floor is shifting. She reaches downwards and lifts it.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>Under the floorboards is a fish. Wrapped in wire and cables. It is impaled on piping.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>No. Not impaled. There is no sharp point nor end to the pipe. It stretches onwards, as though it had wound itself through the fish. There is no way it could have been impaled.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>It is still alive.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>Its gills flutter against its twitching sides, its eye is glassy and infested. Its whole body is infested. Defunct electrical wiring weaves through its flesh and scales and holds it tight. Its fins have melted into the rotted wood.</em></span></p>

<p><span style="color:black;"><em>A circular structure laid into the ceiling above rotates within a rusted steel frame. Beyond it, a large fan with metal blades spins.

MATAGI CARCASS is seen putting a hand against the side of her head.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:black;"><em>The team eventually locates a hatch within the room, and pull it open.

<p><span style="color:black;"><em>MATAGI CARCASS and BLACK CARPET turn to face him.</em></span></p>

<p><span style="color:black;"><strong>NINGEN:</strong> <em>[He nods]</em> COMMAND, we're starting to get low in here — shall we turn back and leave the anomaly? Come back another day with more tanks?</span></p>

<em>Gamma-6 never left.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:white;"><em>They couldn't have. So here they lay, twitching and writhing against the frame. This place holds and holds and it does not let go.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:white;"><em>It is lonely.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:white;"><em>How could it not be?</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:white;"><em>Wires wind into flesh, pull it taught against sea-eaten metal and rotted wood. A desperate, fatal embrace. The wood melts into their wetsuits, it fuses them to these walls. Command tries to sputter out cries through broken communications, and it falls upon ears that can no longer answer. It is hungrily devoured by the water that surrounds in all its crushing power, so far and deep bellow. They lay with mouths gaping, with fingers twitching, like a fish soon to die. But no, no they will not die. Not yet. It will not let them. It wants their warmth, it wants the warmth of the living inside it once again. If that warmth comes through blood in the water, than let it be so.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:white;"><em>A house is not a home without people within. A ship is without purpose if there is no one to steer. A shipwreck is a type of corpse.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:white;"><em>The wires are in their organs now, too. It infests everything that it can, everything that it can hold. Red wires through arteries like a mockery of blood, blue wires through grey matter — holding, holding, holding. Glass of face masks crack, respirators sputter out bursts of failing air when their throats fail to produce a sound. The tanks will last them two hours more.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:white;"><em>The hull — the wall — the house creaks. Its foundation settling.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:white;"><em>The wires are in their eyes. Their skulls have melted to the metal. They are finally at peace.</em></span></p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8775</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8775 is to remain in the possession of Researcher Lee Roy Carlson. When practicing or performing, he is to keep a recording device on hand to facilitate quick and accurate documentation of any accessed memories. He is to spend no fewer than two hours each workday practicing guitar with SCP-8775, to ensure that previously discovered memories remain accessible, discover any additional memories, and become skilled enough to unlock the known but currently inaccessible ones.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8775 is a black and white Fender Stratocaster electric guitar manufactured in 1976. There is a large scratch on the bottom edge of the guitar's body, but it has no other unusual physical characteristics.</p>
<p>SCP-8775 previously belonged to Dr. Conrad Scott, a memetics researcher at <a href="/secure-facility-dossier-area-14">Armed Bio-Containment Area-14</a>. Director Thomas MacLean took possession of the instrument in 2009, after Dr. Scott <a href="/the-drooling-path">disappeared</a> and left no next of kin. The following year, he gave it to his stepson, Researcher Lee Roy Carlson, as a gift. Researcher Carlson discovered the object's anomalous properties the first time he played it.</p>
<p>When certain songs are played on SCP-8775, the performer will relive one of Dr. Scott's memories of performing the same song. The exact criteria required to trigger this effect are unclear and inconsistent, but activation seems to become likelier the more completely and accurately a song is played. Even if full activation does not occur, the user will still experience a strong sense of <em>deja vu</em> when attempting to perform a song that has an associated memory. Regardless of the memory's subjective duration, it is always relived near-instantaneously. Most such memories originally took place in 1976, which included the latter half of Dr. Scott's senior year of high school and his first semester of college.</p>
<p>For unknown reasons, only Researcher Carlson has been able to induce this effect. Through extensive trial and error of 1970s rock songs, guided by the contents of Dr. Scott's record collection, he has thus far managed to identify eleven songs that produce clear memories. He reports that "<a href="https://youtu.be/hzpDOB2JYKc?si=JdMjCoCy7zAyFtXE">2112 Overture</a>" by Rush and "<a href="https://youtu.be/ORnvO1VyYMk?si=wQzzvrA-u1ZMGwS2">Man on the Silver Mountain</a>" by Rainbow also have associated memories, but he is not yet able to play either song well enough to access them.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 1:</strong> List of Songs and Associated Memories</p>
<p>These memories have been placed in approximate chronological order based on their content and the known details of Dr. Scott's life. The description of the memory is a summary of Researcher Carlon's recollection; where appropriate, direct quotations of his audio recordings have been provided for additional context.</p>

<td>"<a href="https://youtu.be/3pVQj2v7tBI?si=E53tTGpmiIzKI3XD">Smoke on the Water</a>," Deep Purple</td>
<td>Scott is in a music shop. He picks up SCP-8775, one of the display guitars, and plays the first three chords before an employee shouts at him to stop. The employee points at a sign above the counter, which reads "NO SMOKE ON THE WATER, NO STAIRWAY".</td>
<td>"Yeah, of course this is the first song he played on it. That's what I did."</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"<a href="https://youtu.be/wIE5wwvicew?si=tp2XvHS1nLnhLXF8">The Boys Are Back in Town</a>," Thin Lizzy</td>
<td>Scott is practicing in his bedroom, which is decorated with posters and other memorabilia for various hard rock and heavy metal bands of the 60s and 70s. Scott's father barges in and begins to shout at him for missing football practice.</td>
<td>"These memories are sort of like those dreams where you just kind of <em>know</em> something even though it obviously isn't true. The guy in this one is definitely Dr. Scott's dad, but at the time, I recognized him as mine. It's…jarring."</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"<a href="https://youtu.be/F01UTYg79KY?si=jm5yiSA2wx5yiHmC">Iron Man</a>," Black Sabbath</td>
<td>Once again, Scott is practicing in his bedroom. When he finishes the song, his mother knocks on the door and enters. She compliments his playing but warns him that she will sell the guitar if he does not score an A on his next Calculus test.</td>
<td>"I think our moms would have gotten along."</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"<a href="https://youtu.be/0gjWcnJLIZ0?si=CZmFh0QBqGy7Adzq">Baby, I Love Your Way</a>," Peter Frampton</td>
<td>Scott stands in front of a large house, playing this song with a small amplifier connected to a jury-rigged car battery. Flowers arranged on the grass in front of Scott read "Prom?" A dark-haired girl stands in an open second-story window, blushing and giggling.</td>
<td>"I think I speak for a lot of guitarists when I say that I first picked up this instrument in hopes of doing some dumb romantic stunt like that. And Conrad, that legend, he pulled it off."</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"<a href="https://youtu.be/xxqCEPBDZxk?si=m9cAZBALzzoQ5-Ut">Rock 'n' Roll Singer</a>," AC/DC</td>
<td>Scott performs in his garage with two other teenagers, a bassist and a drummer. He replaces the lyric "I hear it pays well" with "right here in <a href="/scp-6976">Tazewell</a>,"<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> to his friends' amusement.</td>

<td>"There's something…wrong with this one."</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"<a href="https://youtu.be/lqSo85W10w4?si=v5tgnmB0obKLqqDV">Victim of Changes</a>," Judas Priest</td>
<td>Scott sits in his garage, playing quietly. Much of the equipment present in earlier memories, including the drum kit, is now absent.</td>
<td>"I didn't notice it until afterward, but I cried during this one. I really can't remember why."</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"<a href="https://youtu.be/6QjehSa_zDY?si=jDRRgKx09T8MUCjt">Electric Phase</a>," UFO</td>
<td>Scott sits on his bed in a college dorm, practicing. He continues replaying the record (<em>Lights Out</em>), trying to imitate the guitar solo, but is unsuccessful. When his roommate enters, Scott stops playing.</td>
<td>"He didn't ask me to stop or anything. I just felt…embarrassed?"</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"<a href="https://youtu.be/Dy4HA3vUv2c?si=VwM3Q4V_J5EoCeAP">(Don't Fear) The Reaper</a>," Blue Oyster Cult</td>
<td>In his dorm, Scott is attempting to play this song while a blonde woman watches, smiling politely but uncomfortably. He continues to miss notes and eventually gives up entirely upon reaching the solo. He flushes with embarrassment and apologizes repeatedly.</td>
<td>"Ouch. Been there."</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"<a href="https://youtu.be/YXcYZsqkZ-g?si=5IJ9eDwVDB_Mi1se">Summertime Blues</a>," Blue Cheer</td>
<td>Scott sits on a couch in a small apartment, surrounded by partially unpacked moving boxes. He practices for roughly 20 minutes, until he grows frustrated and stops.</td>
<td>"He shouldn't have been so hard on himself."</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"<a href="https://youtu.be/QkF3oxziUI4?si=K8EP8w5kAy5p0vQ-">Stairway to Heaven</a>," Led Zeppelin</td>

<h5><span><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong></span></h5>
<p>Research into possible containment methods is ongoing under the purview of Research Team P<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">ω</span>-K, assisted by Special Asset 4-N-SH (see Addendum A for details). The primary objectives of research into SCP-8777 are:</p>
<ul>
<li>An accurately predictive model for the failure of Pellen-Vine Noospheric Entity Traps when applied to SCP-8777</li>
<li>An accurately predictive model for the failure of alternative Noospheric containment methods when applied to SCP-8777</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>

Its <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">ω</span>-domain currently contains most of the North American, and Oceanic Noospheric divisions and the European superdivision<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-913288-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-913288-3')">3</a></sup>. SCP-8777 is currently extant in the South American and Korean divisions, as well as the South Asian superdivision. Spread into the Chinese superdivision, the Japanese division, and the Southeast Asian superdivision is continuing.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
As a Class-IV Noospheric Entity, SCP-8777 possesses a concrete location identifier. It is conceptually bound to this location, although it does not physically reside there. SCP-8777's concrete location identifier is believed to be near the magnetic North Pole. Exploration of location pending.<br/>

<h5><span><strong>Special Asset 4-N-SH</strong></span></h5>
</div>
<br/>
<strong>1. Overview:</strong> Special Asset 4-N-SH is a Noospheric-type ontokinetic deployed by the Foundation as a combat overwatch unit and a research asset. The asset is a human female, age 27. Instructions for proper usage of Special Asset 4-N-SH are detailed in Attached Document 14.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>2. Acquisition:</strong> Special Asset 4-N-SH was acquired following the events of Incident-G019-22.09.2011. During the incident, anomalous ontokinetic effects temporarily enclosed a portion of the town of ████, Russia (population: 15 000) in a Type-IX Noospheric Field. The portion of the town enclosed included Foundation Site-147. This caused a total communications blackout for 6 hours<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-913288-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-913288-4')">4</a></sup>, during which members of GoI-019 "The Serpent's Hand" entered Site-147 and removed SCP-███ from containment. It is believed that the members of GoI-019 were anomalously shielded against the field, or otherwise excluded from its effects. 1 hour 13 minutes after the theft was completed, the Noospheric field dissipated, allowing scrambled MTF teams to apprehend the source.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
Large-scale use of amnestics was authorized by O5-8, following damage assessment by MTF Zeta-11 ("Dreamers Awake"). An estimated 63.6% of the town's population required amnesticization. An estimated 15.1% of the town's population required memory-rewrite procedures in order to reduce post-amnesticization PTSD response. An estimated 1.9% of the town's population was terminated due to unrecoverable mental/ideatic injury caused by excision from and subsequent reentry into conventional ideatic space. The remainder of the town's population did not require special amnestic intervention.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
The cause of the Noospheric field was determined to be a natural Type-IV ("Noospheric/Ideatic") ontokinetic, human.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
Following detainment by MTF Zeta-11, the subject was interviewed. Due to lack of interrogations personnel at Site-147, the interview was carried out by Dr. Emery Isleton.

<p><strong>[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Isleton:</strong> Please state your name and age for the record.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Pause. Subject appears uninterested.]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Subject:</strong> Samira Hsu. Twenty-four.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Isleton:</strong> Thank you. At 1900 on September 22, 2011, where were you?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Subject:</strong> Morgorodok apartment complex. The fourteenth floor.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Isleton:</strong> For what reason?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Subject:</strong> I was providing overwatch and communications support to — to my teammates.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Subject appears to focus on an empty portion of the room.]</strong><br/>
<strong>[Pause. Dr. Isleton looks at their tablet.]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Isleton:</strong> Were you responsible for the Type-IX Noospheric field placed over the eastern portion of ████?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Subject:</strong> Type IX? You're the Jailers, then. I wasn't sure.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Isleton:</strong> Please answer the question.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Subject:</strong> I caused the temporary stratification of local ideatic space from the Noosphere. Yes. Noospheric field. Type IX. Class III. God, the jargon.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Isleton:</strong> What was the purpose of the assault on Foundation Site-147?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Pause.]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Subject:</strong> There's this hospital. It looks like a castle, but it's a hospital. Half hospital. The other half is a mortuary. It's… somewhere in Eastern Europe, cloaked in perception-denying fog, some fifty square kilometres of fourteenth-century brickwork.<br/>
Inside the hospital — don't ask how we know — there are four thousand seven hundred and eighty nine people who by all means should be dead. Most of them from starvation, some from blood loss and shock and blunt force trauma, a few from hanging or beheading. One unlucky bastard was drawn and quartered. All of them are still alive, muscles twitching, eyeballs turn, pupils contracting in response to light. The ones with intact respiratory systems can speak, although what they speak is, as far as we can tell, nonsense. The ravings of the mad. And who wouldn't go mad? As far as we can tell, they feel every iota of pain a living body would feel in their state, and as best as we can determine, they have been in that state for almost six hundred years. Six hundred years of starvation-pangs. Six hundred years of beheading, of asphyxiation, of dismemberment.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Pause. Dr. Isleton shifts in their chair. Subject is leaning forward.]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Subject:</strong> That item we stole. SCP-████. It was meant to — to end it. Break the spell. Shatter the chains that bind them to this mortal coil.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Pause. Subject collapses backwards into chair. Subject is visibly distressed.]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Subject:</strong> It didn't work. They fucking- it didn't work. How many people did the field kill?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Security teams alerted to a possible information security breach.]</strong><br/>
<strong>[Additional Scranton Reality Anchors placed in interview chamber vicinity.]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Isleton:</strong> Nobody died outright, but we had to —<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Subject:</strong> It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Subject did not respond to questioning after this point. Interview terminated.]</strong><br/>
<strong>[END TRANSCRIPT]</strong></p>
</div>
</div>
Following this interview, interrogations specialists were transferred from Site-19. The extent of the subject's knowledge and ontokinetic abilities were ascertained.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
At the time, several hostile Groups of Interest were employing ontokinetic units against Foundation forces, to substantial effect. Therefore, as a preliminary proof-of-concept, the subject was offered a choice between containment by the Foundation and enlistment in an MTF. The subject chose the latter option, upon which decision it was fitted with a remotely-activated explosive collar.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
However, by order of the O5 Council, an MTF consisting of ontokinetics was deemed unacceptable, and no other ontokinetics were given this option. The subject was redesignated Special Asset 4-N-SH on 14/02/2012.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
The "hospital" mentioned by the subject was located and designated LoI-7549 "Immortal Coil".<br/>

<p><strong>4. Additional Interviews</strong><br/>
Following the 28/10/2014 deployment of Special Asset 4-N-SH, the following interview was conducted.</p>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Special Asset 4-N-SH:</strong> What's this about?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Dr. Isleton:</strong> You submitted an official objection to the recent deployment on October 28th. Before the Foundation could respond, you retracted all objections.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>4-N-SH:</strong> That's correct.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Isleton:</strong> Why?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Special Asset 4-N-SH appears bemused.]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>4-N-SH:</strong> Why did I object? Why do you think?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Isleton:</strong> Why did you retract your objections?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Pause.]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>4-N-SH:</strong> I don't know. It was a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing, I guess. I didn't — what's the point? Really, what would an objection do?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Pause. Dr. Isleton waits, listening.]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>4-N-SH:</strong> Three years ago I would have said that — I would have said that even if I can't do anything about it, it's my responsibility to try. To resist — What? Immoral actions? What does that mean? What's the <em>point</em>?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[Pause.]</strong></p>
</div>
<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>4-N-SH:</strong> It's hard to believe that there truly is some moral standard, some measure by which we can be weighed and judged. That it's not — something we made up, so we can sleep at night.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>Isleton:</strong> Isn't that enough?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>

<p><strong>Item №:</strong> SCP-8778</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8778 is contained at its location of discovery under the purview of the nearby Outpost 54. In order to discourage civilian cavers and geologists, the cavern containing SCP-8778 has been obstructed via an artificial rockfall. This blockage has been fitted with a hidden door so that observation, testing and maintenance may be conducted. Due to the difficulty of reaching the anomaly, further security measures are unnecessary.</p>
<p>SCP-8778 may only be directly viewed by personnel carrying Level 5/8778 credentials. The research head of Outpost 54, currently Dr. Avtandil Khorava, is required to remain in close correspondence with Overwatch Command on a regular basis.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8778 is an expansive mural drawn with dark red pigment, located in an undocumented dead-end branch of the Veryovkina Cave in Abkhazia. The rock stratum containing SCP-8778 is roughly sixty thousand years old, a figure which is considered the closest approximation of SCP-8778's age, as carbon dating of the mural itself has consistently failed to yield valid results.</p>
<p>The pigment that comprises SCP-8778 is capable of moving autonomously, as well as removing and replenishing parts of itself through unknown means.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> Thus, rather than a static image, SCP-8778 displays a continuously repeating sequence of animated scenes.</p>
<p>A written summary of SCP-8778 is attached below.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong><00:00:01></strong> Sequence begins. The majority of the pigment composing SCP-8778 is shapeless, save for a small amount on the back wall of the cave. This pigment outlines a circular shape with a jagged corona that is likely meant to represent the Sun. Markings inside the circle suggest a smiling face. The Sun remains on the back wall for nearly the entirety of the sequence.</p>
<p><strong><00:04:37></strong> More pigment becomes active on the rightmost and leftmost cave walls, as well as the cave ceiling, taking a number of shifting, abstract forms. Comprehensible images gradually arise. Most are silhouettes of humanoid or quasi-humanoid figures, although many possess abnormal features and/or body plans.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> The figures are spread widely across the cave walls; they engage in a variety of activities, including hunting, farming and architecture. Notably, the beings appear to use supernatural abilities extensively in accomplishing their tasks. For example, a scene on the right wall displays a horned quadrupedal entity seemingly summoning a storm to water a field of crops. Scenes and environments merge and reshape themselves fluidly; the overall narrative suggested is that of a civilization's slow rise.</p>
<p>The Sun remains the only image on the back wall of the cave until <strong><00:10:27></strong>, at which time a winged humanoid figure appears, gliding directly below it. The figure swoops in an arc around the Sun, its body language indicating jubilation, before flying across the ceiling onto the left wall and disappearing into the larger collective.</p>
<p><strong><00:16:03></strong> Pigment in the upper middle of the right wall resolves into a single unchanging image, depicting a humanoid figure standing on a balcony. The figure is posed as if overlooking the other scenes, which are still rapidly changing. A crown forms on the figure's head.</p>
<p>The scene then reshapes itself to depict a throne, upon which the crowned figure is seated. The surrounding pigment begins to produce new images which contain the same assortment of humanoid and non-humanoid beings but are more distressing in nature, featuring depictions of injustice, social unrest, war, and death.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> These scenes are drawn in thicker, darker, and more erratic strokes than those seen previously.</p>
<p>As this occurs, the crowned humanoid on the throne hunches forward and holds its head in its hands.</p>
<p><strong><00:23:12></strong> Primary scene changes. The surrounding images persist and continue to alter themselves, but with reduced coherence. Focus and increasing detail are given to the crowned humanoid, which is now depicted descending a set of steps into a cave.</p>
<p>The humanoid reaches an expansive cavern. It produces a small blade, and cuts the palm of its hand before drawing a circular sigil on the cavern floor with what is evidently its own blood. The sigil bears a resemblance to <strong><tt>[REDACTED - CLEARANCE L5/8778]</tt></strong>, possibly coincidental.</p>
<p><strong><00:27:06></strong> The floor of the cavern depicted in SCP-8778 becomes translucent. An enormous, dark mass can be seen beneath it. Although the overall shape of this mass constantly changes, parts of its body appear similar to smoke, flames, metal chains, and cephalopodic anatomy. A number of corpses are partially subsumed within it, all marked with the circular sigil seen before. There is a larger version of the same sigil in the mass's center, intricately shaded so that it appears to glow; the sigil dilates in a manner similar to an eye, and focuses on the humanoid figure above.</p>
<p>More scenes of violence and unrest appear around the humanoid figure. They escalate rapidly in severity. The final scene shows a vast field of corpses, a collapsing castle, and a crown smashed into pieces. The figure clenches its fist; the scenes break apart, and are replaced with a single distinct image of a throne, whole and undamaged.</p>
<p>In response to this, the dark mass presses itself against the cavern floor from underneath. Several tendrils emerge from the mass, reaching through the cavern floor and up towards the crowned figure, which extends its still-bleeding hand to meet them. The tendrils wrap around the hand.</p>
<p><strong><00:30:29></strong> Entire scene abruptly changes. On the right and left cave walls as well as the ceiling, a large number of humanoid and non-humanoid entities are fleeing, many trampling one another in their haste to escape. The back wall of the cave is occupied largely by a dark, amorphous, slowly expanding shape. It is extending an enormous number of appendages<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> across the walls and ceiling to ensnare the fleeing individuals. Captured entities are drawn into the mass, where they are marked with the circular sigil seen earlier before being fully enveloped and disappearing.</p>
<p>Entities are frequently observed to lose their abnormal traits as they are overpowered.</p>
<p>The crowned humanoid figure is visible in the center of the dark mass, partially incorporated into it. Its crown is lopsided and its body hangs limp. Drops of an unidentified liquid are falling from its face.</p>
<p><strong><00:34:30></strong> At this point, the dark, amorphous mass has expanded across nearly the entire cave. The Sun, which is still present on the back wall, is incorporated as well; its facial features contort in apparent pain and then disappear before it is consumed. Only two small areas are not completely covered by pigment. One contains the crowned figure, while the other contains the winged humanoid that appeared at the beginning of the sequence. The humanoid is curled in the fetal position with its wings extended. As the surrounding pigment encroaches on it, its wings crumble away, smearing until they are no longer visible. The formerly winged humanoid is enveloped by the pigment; it does not resist.</p>
<p><strong><00:37:15></strong> The crowned figure is now the only recognizable object in SCP-8778. The remainder of the cave, including the floor, is uniformly covered by pigment.</p>
<p><strong><00:39:40></strong> The figure displays its first movement since being incorporated into the dark mass. It shakes, straining with considerable effort until one of its arms is freed. In its hand, it is grasping the small blade it used earlier. It slowly raises the blade to its neck.</p>
<p><strong><00:40:00></strong> The figure cuts its own throat. A single drop of blood falls from the wound.</p>
<p>A ripple passes through SCP-8778. The pigment covering the cavern pulls back, retreating onto the back wall of the cave and shrinking rapidly. It thrashes, projecting appendages from its mass at random, but appears incapable of resisting. This continues until it has become almost imperceptibly small, although it does not disappear.</p>
<p>Almost no pigment is present for exactly seven minutes.</p>
<p><strong><00:47:00></strong> The Sun gradually reforms on the back wall. Its facial features are absent.</p>
<p>Below the Sun, thirteen humanoid figures appear in a line. The figure standing in the center produces a pocket knife and cuts the palm of its hand. It kneels, using its own blood to draw a circular sigil on the ground at its feet. The others express various degrees of hesitation but follow suit. While no two sigils are exactly identical, the basic shape of each is the same: <strong><tt>[REDACTED - CLEARANCE L5/8778]</tt></strong>.</p>
<p>The blood comprising the sigils begins to trickle away in small streams. It pools in the center of the scene, forming into another circular symbol akin to the previous but much larger in size.</p>
<p>An amorphous, dark shape comes into visibility beneath the symbol, pressing up against it.</p>
<p><strong><00:52:03></strong> Sequence repeats.</p>

<p>An SCP-8779 cartridge.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8779</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> All instances of SCP-8779 are to be secured in a standard containment locker at Site-59. Any copies discovered of SCP-8779 are to be confiscated immediately or are purchased using allotted funds.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8779 is an unlicensed video game titled "Americans Idel" created by the Totleigh Software Corporation for the Nintendo DS. SCP-8779 is a karaoke-style game designed after the American television series <em>"American Idol."</em></p>
<p>SCP-8779 comes with a game manual within its box alongside the game's cartridge. The manual consists of broken English and misspellings typical of TotleighSoft, detailing the game's basic controls and mechanics along with the following blurb:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>YOUR GONE TO HOLYWOOD!</strong></p>
<p>Youv'e seen AMERICANS IDEL. But asking, whach bout yuo? When are youre tim to shine? Shine is now! Make SIMNON COWBELL hapy ANYWERE! ANYTIME! ANYWAY! Very imersive. So SING now! Shwo HIM, what are you made off!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Upon running an instance of SCP-8779, a catalog of song titles would appear on the lower screen of the console. This collection includes music released in the 1960s to the present day and is updated daily. While a search function is available, it is considered unreliable, as song titles are often misspelled or entirely different.</p>
<p>Gameplay for SCP-8779 initiates once a song is selected, prompting an instrumental track of the selected song to play. On the lower screen of the console, a pulsating microphone icon appears at the center. Lyrics to the song are shown below the icon, scrolling horizontally from right to left, these lyrics are often incorrect.</p>
<p>The upper screen of the console displays what appears to be live-action footage of Simon Cowell<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and a second instance of Simon Cowell<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>, all seated in this order. Ryan Seacrest is also shown to appear momentarily at times. The setting closely resembles a typical audition scene from the show <em>"American Idol"</em> as it aired in the early 2000s, all personalities featured in the video also reflect their appearances from that period. When asked, all individuals depicted and mentioned within the game claimed to be unaware of their involvement in its production or of any association with TotleighSoft.</p>
<p>The judges are able to interact with players in real-time, as seen when they respond to a player's actions along with their usual comments. Gameplay for SCP-8779 culminates with either a positive or negative response from the judges, with each verdict and interaction producing varying effects on human players.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Test Log 8779-59-1:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Player:</strong> D-36921<br/>
<strong>Song:</strong> Man did ( "Mandy" by Barry Manilow )<br/>
<strong>Results:</strong> After the first chorus, both instances of Simon raise their hands, halting the performance. Paula greets D-36921 by his real name. Simon-1 proceeds to praise D-36921's voice, Simon-2 then objects, stating: "But Hollywood? Maybe Chicago." Randy boos at Simon-2's remarks. After the judges delivered their verdicts, Randy announces that D-36921 is "gone to Hollywood."</p>
<p>D-36921 is given three yesses by the judges and earns a golden ticket, denoting success.</p>
<p>D-36921 exhibited marked elation and improvement in mood during the following weeks. The subject had also taken interest in singing and songwriting. When asked about these newfound interests, the subject consistently responded that it was in preparation for "Hollywood."</p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Player:</strong> D-63457<br/>
<strong>Song:</strong> Baby ( "Baby" by Justin Bieber )<br/>
<strong>Results:</strong> After thirty-one seconds, Simon-1 begins to stifle his laughter, followed by Simon-2, then the other two judges. Ryan is briefly shown mouthing the word "Yikes." The track then abruptly stops. Simon-1 mocks D-63457, saying: "Dinner's served, and serve is shit! Hollywood? Holly-shit!" Paula interjects and says: "Not American!" A close-up shot of Randy's mouth is then shown as he laughs. The judges continue to laugh and mock the subject for another minute as the subject begins to yell threats and profanities at the console. Simon-2 calls for security as the subject's outburst escalates. D-63457 then forcibly throws the console, causing it to break. Simultaneously, the subject falls to the ground, unconscious.</p>
<p>The judges are unable to give their final verdicts.</p>
<p>SCP-8779 instance inside the console was retrieved after the incident without damage. D-63457 regained consciousness after five minutes, still exhibiting signs of agitation. It is noted that multiple bruises were found on the subject's head and torso. When interviewed during post-test evaluation, subject adamantly protested that he was deserving of a "spot in Hollywood." The subject exhibited marked hostility and emotional volatility during the following weeks.</p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Player:</strong> D-34522<br/>
<strong>Song:</strong> BOOMB ( "Grenade" by Bruno Mars )<br/>
<strong>Results:</strong> After forty-four seconds, Simon-1 waves his hand, halting the performance. Simon-2 then insults his performance, stating: "Who told be idol? Egad! Here I am become ridicule. Disappointment." Randy and Paula are shown nodding their heads. Randy then waves and says: "No Hollywood. Sorry much." After the judges delivered their verdicts, Ryan is briefly shown shaking his head.</p>
<p>D-36921 is given four noes by the judges, denoting failure.</p>
<p>Following the test, subject exhibited significant restlessness and marked signs of distress. Over the subsequent weeks, the subject submitted twenty-two requests to play the game again, all of which were denied. D-34522 has been observed to loudly sing "Grenade" by Bruno Mars on a daily basis, interspersed with repeated pleas for a second chance at "Hollywood". Amnestic treatments have failed to reverse SCP-8779's effects on D-34522. Due to multiple complaints regarding this behavior, subject has been relocated to a soundproofed room. Though suffering from severe throat damage caused by consistent strenuous singing, D-34522 shows no signs of stopping this behavior.</p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Player:</strong> D-84833<br/>
<strong>Song:</strong> No Nono Way ( "Without You" by Mariah Carey )<br/>
<strong>Results:</strong> Thirty seconds into the subject's performance, the screen displays a close-up shot of Paula's eyes, visibly welling with tears. Both instances of Simon are then shown covering their faces with audible sobbing. Randy bows his head. Upon the song's conclusion, a somber background music begins to play as the judges clap in unison along with Ryan who is briefly shown. After the applause ended, Paula then wipes her tears and greets D-84833 with praise for her performance, stating: "Very brave! Very American! Even of you are hurting muchly with cancers. So yes, praise be! Praise be! You're gone to Hollywood!" All judges then say "You're gone to Hollywood!" in unison. After the judges delivered their verdicts, Ryan is briefly shown once more, clapping and weeping.</p>
<p>D-84833 is given four yesses by the judges and earns a golden ticket, denoting success.</p>
<p>It is noted that subject was cleared of any abnormalities during initial screenings prior to testing. Following the test, D-84833 was examined and was found to have developed stage 3C breast cancer. The subject exhibited marked elation and improvement in mood during the following weeks and has taken interest in singing and songwriting. When informed about this diagnosis, subject dismissed the topic and stated that "none of it mattered" because she was "going to Hollywood."</p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Addendum:</strong> Incident 8779-59-1</p>
<p>On 12/18/2024, 40 days after initial tests with SCP-8779, multiple D-class personnel were reported missing. A search was immediately initiated. Consistent between recovered belongings of all missing personnel were handwritten song compositions expressing themes of praise and adoration directed to Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and most notably, Simon Cowell who are viewed as messianic figures. It is noted that all missing personnel received positive responses from SCP-8779 during previous tests. As of writing, their current whereabouts remain unknown.</p>

<p><strong>MEETING 8870-D</strong></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>DATE:</strong> 03/05/2025</p>
<p><strong>LOCATION:</strong> [REDACTED]</p>
<p><strong>FOREWORD:</strong> Meeting of personnel in GREY MATTER Division. Led by Dr. Hakari Mimko.</p>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[BEGIN RECORDING]</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><em><The members of the GREY MATTER Division sit at a conference table. Senior Technician Dohn Cavollo and Dr. Laura Schneider sit next to each other, utterly silent.></em></p>
<p><em><The last member and lead, Dr. Hakari Mimko, sits at the head of the table. She sits in a wheelchair, looking out onto the scenery.></em></p>
<p><em><The trees outside are leaveless, morning dew still dripping from some branches.></em></p>
<p><em><After a while, Dr. Mimko sighs, turns the wheelchair to face the others, and folds her arms on the table.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Glad you could come. I’m sure you’re already aware.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><A long silence. Dr. Mimko retrieves files from under her chair and deposits them onto the table. The files are detailed files on <a href="/drclef-member-page">Dr. Alto Clef</a>.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> O5-11 <em>was</em> <a href="/scp-8870">SCP-8870</a>. Agent Duvall suspected me, <em>rest his soul</em>, and when O5-11 saw our little struggle, he tried to swat both flies in one go.</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Then he killed himself. Whether voluntary or not, the coroner’s suspect that O5-11 saw his own reflection in the screen he was overwatching us from, and subsequently killed himself.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Silence. The others shift uncomfortably in their seats.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> So the case is done?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> They’re searching for possible accomplices. But our involvement with the anomaly is long done.</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> I can’t believe 11 was 8870. Why?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Well, <em>(clears throat)</em> I suspect that he saw the division as an opportunity to take down both the Foundation and the Coalition to gain custody of his <a href="/scp-166">daughter</a>. This seems to be the most likely case at this moment.</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> So the division’s done?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>(pauses)</em> I’m afraid so.</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Now what? We’re unemployed now?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> You’ll receive your transfer notices in due time.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> And what about you?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> What about me?</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> In your little project proposal, you said you were doing this for your siste—</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> That is not relevant to the discussion at hand, Mr. Cavollo. <em>(looks at Schneider)</em> The same goes for you, Dr. Schneider.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><They look at each other with a stern expression for quite more time. Eventually, Cavollo and Schneider leave without a word or without turning back.></em></p>
<p><em><Once the others have left, tears begin streaming from Dr. Mimko’s eyes, which she silently wipes away. She sniffles. She puts her head in her hands and begins sobbing uncontrollably.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>(sobs) I’m sorry, Tomo. I’m sorry.</em><br/>

<p><strong>INCIDENT 8780-α</strong></p>
</div>

<p><strong>DATE:</strong> 04/07/2025</p>
<p><strong>LOCATION:</strong> Oberhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany</p>
<p><strong>FOREWORD:</strong> On the above mentioned date, SCP-8780 appeared within the Westfield Centro shopping mall, completely naked. Local authorities were dispatched to the scene to apprehend the subject, but called in the Foundation when the subject began emitting a faint orange glow from within its chest.</p>
<p>Evacuation procedures on the location were enacted. A detachment of the Foundation’s <a href="http://scp-wiki-de.wikidot.com/">German branch</a> was sent in to handle the threat; Mobile Task Force Delta-2 (”Dachshunde”).</p>
<p>The transcript has been translated from its original German.</p>

<p><em><Members of MTF Delta-2 converge around SCP-8780’s location. They remain positioned at various vantage points to be in direct shooting range of the subject, hidden from view.></em></p>
<p><em><Captain of Delta-2, Henning Waggner, methodically approaches SCP-8780, unarmed. The subject notices and snaps to look at him.></em></p>

<strong>8780:</strong> Oh— oh, my God.</p>
<p><strong>WAGGNER:</strong> <em>(calm)</em> Relax, man. What’s going on?</p>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><An orange glow begins to be emitted from the interior of the subject’s chest. Its skin turns translucent; indistinct cuboid objects can be observed ’swimming’ inside.></em></p>
<p><em><The subject winces, screaming loudly, clutching their chest tightly.></em></p>
<p><em><After some time, the glow dissipates. The subject gasps for air.></em></p>

<p><em><Rises in both luminescence and temperature do not cease.></em></p>

<p>The Westfield Centro shopping mall was engulfed in a large explosion, completely destroying the structure and the surrounding area in a kilometer radius.</p>

<strong>Oberhausen - North Rhine-Westphalia -</strong> TERROR! Sprawling city Oberhausen’s greatest shopping mall was torn apart by the largest explosion to hit Germany, ever since the second WORLD WAR.

<strong>REPORTER:</strong> … which brings us to the most heated question.</p>
<p><strong>REINHARDT:</strong> Yup.</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> What happened there in Oberhausen? And most importantly, was it a terrorist, as many people have claimed?</p>
<p><strong>REINHARDT:</strong> Okay, so, first of all, what happened in Oberhausen was an explosive anomaly that leveled the entire mall. As to whether the person was a terrorist, investigations into this are uncertain as of right now—</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> But you are the lead of investigations, right?</p>
<p><strong>REINHARDT:</strong> … yes?</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> Then why haven’t your people figured it out yet? For all the citizens know, this might happen again in another shopping mall. Maybe even in the heads of senate in Berlin!</p>
<p><strong>REINHARDT:</strong> Well, the Foundation is doing the best it can to identify the origins of the subject and protect the citizens—</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> You call a giant explosion that left a one kilometer crater protection?</p>
<p><strong>REINHARDT:</strong> Of course not—</p>

Dear O5-Council,</p>
<p>I’d hereby like to request the transfer of my current menial records archivist assignment to lead researcher of investigations into SCP-8780.</p>
<p>With my expertise leading a division and my indirect ’detainment’ of such a dangerous threat to the Foundation as SCP-8870, I think I’d be more than capable of handling these investigations.</p>
<p>I know that my past actions have not been honest, and I’d sincerely apologize for my dishonesty. I do hope you forgive me and that we can set aside the past to venture into the future.</p>

<p>Enough. The vote has already passed.</p>
<p><a href="/dr-light-s-personnel-file">Sophia</a>, I know how close Clef was to you. But you cannot let your grief control your present actions. We hold the entire world on our shoulders. It is our responsibilty to remain level-headed even in the most fucked-up of situations.</p>
<p>Refrain from making such accusations to your employees again. Otherwise, I see myself having to remove you from the Council.<br/></p>

<p><em><Dr. Mimko opens the door to her office. The interior is dark. She turns the lights on.></em></p>
<p><em><The office’s interior is small, almost claustrophobic. It is furnished with only the most necessary of objects; a chair, desk, bed, bookshelf and potted plant.></em></p>
<p><em><Next to the framed image of Tomo Mimko on the desk rests a pamphlet. She examines it closer; it is a notice of her successful transfer.></em></p>
<p><em><Dr. Mimko sighs, pressing the pamphlet against her chest. A slow clapping emanates from a corner of the office. Mimko tenses up immediately, shooting her head to the source of the sound.></em></p>

<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> What are you doing here?</p>
<p><strong>O5-13:</strong> <em>(smiles)</em> Can’t a supervisor congratulate their dear colleague to their transfer?<br/>

<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Is there anything I could do for you?</p>
<p><strong>O5-13:</strong> Oh, don’t be like that! Relax! I may be an Overseer <em>and</em> your supervisor in the 8780 investigations, but I’m still human!<br/>

<strong>O5-13:</strong> Oh, I wanted to say sorry.</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>(silence)</em></p>

<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> … really?</p>
<p><strong>O5-13:</strong> Yep! Treated <a href="/scp-105">Iris</a> like she were his own daughter! With all the restrictions keeping him from his <em>real</em> one.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>

</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>O5-13:</strong> <em>(sighs)</em> It’s a shame that a daughter has to grow up without her father. You wanna know what the last thing he said to me was?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>(silence)</em></p>
<p><strong>O5-13:</strong> Nothing. Well, not literally ’nothing’, but, nothing. He called me the day he committed suicide, or saw his own reflection, or whatever, and didn’t say a word. At first I thought the connection went dead, but, no, I could clearly hear his gasps for air, as he impacted the terminal and collapsed onto the floor. Probably in the processes of bleeding out to death.</p>
<p><strong>O5-13:</strong> One must wonder… why? Why call me? Why call <em>me</em>? What was the reason?<br/>

<p><strong>INTERVIEWER:</strong> Dr. Hakari Mimko</p>
<p><strong>INTERVIEWED:</strong> Anna Hetting</p>
<p><strong>FOREWORD:</strong> Analysis of the footage of Incident 8780-α identified SCP-8780 as Mr. Benjamin Hetting. Derived from statements by the subject, Anna Hetting, the wife, was located. An interview was arranged shortly afterward.</p>
<p>The interview has been translated from its original German.</p>

<p><em><Dr. Mimko arrives at Anna Hetting’s residence. She inspects the area, before exiting the car and approaching the front door.></em></p>
<p><em><She is walking with crutches, nearly falling over on multiple occasions.></em></p>
<p><em><As she arrives at the front door, a figure is seen staring at Dr. Mimko, before walking by the curtains. Before she can ring the doorbell, the door is opened from the inside. Anna Hetting is on the other side.></em></p>
<p><em><She does not look Dr. Mimko in the eyes.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Mrs. Hetting?</p>
<p><strong>HETTING:</strong> Foundation, right? <em>(sniffles)</em></p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Dr. Mimko. I’d like to ask you a few questions about your husband, then I’ll be gone.</p>
<p><strong>HETTING:</strong> <em>(silence)</em></p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> May I come in?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Hetting remains completely silent, staring at the floor. She moves inside, to which Dr. Mimko also goes inside.></em></p>
<p><em><The interior of the house is small, but well-furbished and cozy. Hetting sits down at a chair, stiffly. Dr. Mimko sits down opposite her.></em></p>

<p><strong>HETTING:</strong> <em>(pauses)</em> Thanks.</p>

<p><strong>HETTING:</strong> P—please. Please…<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><She looks Dr. Mimko directly in the eyes. Tears begin to well up. Dr. Mimko clears her throat, straightens her posture and moves on.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> When was the last time you saw your husband?</p>
<p><strong>HETTING:</strong> About… two weeks ago.</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Where?</p>
<p><strong>HETTING:</strong> H—he went out with Jupiter — our dog — for a late night’s stroll.</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Do you know what route he took?</p>
<p><strong>HETTING:</strong> N—no.</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> And you reported his disappearance to the police?</p>
<p><strong>HETTING:</strong> I did. I did. They couldn’t find him, didn’t know where h—he went. Until… <em>(pauses)</em></p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Did he seem strange to you before his disappearance?</p>
<p><strong>HETTING:</strong> Strange? <em>(chuckles weakly)</em> No. Not at all. I mean, he was strange, but not strange<em>r</em> than usual, no.<br/>

<p><strong>LOCATION:</strong> Mortuary, Site-DE-54</p>
<p><strong>FOREWORD:</strong> A sweep of the former site of the Westfield Centro mall was performed, whereupon remains of SCP-8780 were recovered. Remains were sent in for autopsy, where the coroner subsequently contacted the SCP-8780 investigations lead.</p>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<p><em><Dr. Mimko enters the mortuary. The giant door heaves shut behind her, as she turns her eyes forward. On a table, Coroner Gustav Jörgen operates on the remains of SCP-8780.></em></p>
<p><em><He is holding an operation tool in one hand, and in the other a ham-chicken sandwich. Upon noticing Dr. Mimko, he hurriedly puts his sandwich aside, nearly choking.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>JÖRGEN:</strong> <em>(full mouth)</em> Mhm— Doc Mimko! I thought the meet— <em>(coughs loudly)</em> I thought the meeting was supposed to be at six?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Change of schedule. What did you find?</p>
<p><strong>JÖRGEN:</strong> Of course, of course! Come here!<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Jörgen gestures for Mimko to come over.></em></p>
<p><em><What remains of SCP-8780 are patches of loose skin, flesh and bone fragments, with most of them being severely charred. Of note is the presence of four metallic cuboid objects of various sizes. Mimko eyes the objects extensively.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> What are these?</p>
<p><strong>JÖRGEN:</strong> <em>(gulps down sandwich)</em> What, those? Let me show you!<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Coroner Jörgen hurries over TLA Model #3465,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> and prepares it. A low hum, increasing in frequency, becomes audible.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>JÖRGEN:</strong> This’ll blow your mind! By the way, I’d just step away a few meters. Just saying.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><The TLA finishes charging up and shoots a projectile at one of the cuboid objects. Dr. Mimko shields her eyes. Once the TLA decharges again, she looks back onto the cube.></em></p>
<p><em><The cube emits a faint blue glow, which eventually dissipates. Temperature recording equipment does not indicate a change in temperature. Jörgen grins widely.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>JÖRGEN:</strong> You know what that is?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>(under breath)</em> Beryllium bronze.</p>
<p><strong>JÖRGEN:</strong> Exactly!</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> But, why?</p>
<p><strong>JÖRGEN:</strong> The bronze is used to enhance magical spells and abilities; whatever happened to this guy, magicks were definitely involved.</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Any leads to where the bronze might’ve come from?</p>
<p><strong>JÖRGEN:</strong> Sadly not, though it’s suspected to have originated in Germany. <a href="/marshall-carter-and-dark-hub">MC&D</a> controls all shipping of anomalous materials. With us covering their butts for their 2023 scandal, I doubt they’d be willing to break that partnership.<br/>

<p><em><Jörgen retrieves another ham-chicken sandwich from a nearby tray.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>JÖRGEN:</strong> I am so excited! <em>(takes bite)</em> Sorry, I eat a lot when I’m excited. And when I’m performing autopsies. I actually think it’s a coping mechanism.</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> But where would there be beryllium bronze deposits? And who would… <em>(trails off)</em><br/>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>073:</strong> What of them?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> You’ve given us detailed information about beryllium bronze deposits all over the world; we’re wondering if you know of more, yet unmentioned deposits in Germany.</p>
<p><strong>073:</strong> And help you create engines of war and slaughter? No, thank you.<br/>

<p><em><SCP-073 stops dead in its tracks. It turns back to look at Mimko.></em></p>

<strong>073:</strong> Did you know terrorist attacks rose when the Veil broke? When the public first gazed into the darkness?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>073:</strong> Do you know… why?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> A rise in raids on Foundation installations occurred worldwide. They grabbed whatever they could get their hands on and turn them into weapons.</p>
<p><strong>073:</strong> No— yes. But that’s not what I meant.<br/>

<strong>073:</strong> When people first found out about me, they rejoiced. I was happy… but then man did what it could do best. <em>Kill.</em></p>
<p><strong>073:</strong> They killed in the name of their religion. In the name of <em>me</em>. Thousands of innocents died. Why? Because I restored a little faith in the world.<br/>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>073:</strong> That’s why I <em>cannot</em> help you. You pride yourselves of being the shining light in the darkness, but all you are are scared little men and women, who’d do anything to prove that you aren’t. I’m sorry.<br/>

<p><em><SCP-073 walks back to its house.></em></p>

<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> That’s why we — <em>I</em> — need your help. For innocents’ lives. I… had a sister once. Tomo was her name. She died. An innocent’s life flushed down the drain. I don’t want it to happen again. <em>For anybody.</em><br/>

</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>DATE:</strong> 04/26/2025</p>
<p><strong>SUBJECT:</strong> Open Position</p>
<p><strong>SUBMITTED BY:</strong> Dr. Hakari Mimko</p>
<hr/>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
Dearest Council,</p>
<p>I’d hereby like to announce that the culprit behind the terrorist attack of SCP-8780 has been put under rightful justice. Without the Foundation’s intervention, potentially hundreds of people could’ve died under these living weapons. That is what we do — secure, contain, protect.</p>
<p>But there are many people out there who think otherwise. People that see us as ’evil’ and ’unethical’. And although that might be true to an outside observer, they are unable to realize the gravity of the decisions we have to make on a daily basis. For colleagues, friends and family.</p>
<p>Yet these people still prevail, trying to take down our precious fortress that has stood against incomprehensible foes for decades. And if these people are not dealt with, our walls <strong>will</strong> crumble.</p>
<p>The solution: The re-founding of my GREY MATTER Division. To filter out any hateful remarks toward us, and drip-feed the public media that shines us in a positive light.</p>
<p>I would also propose myself for the open spot of O5-13, after Sophia Light’s recent outing. I’d like to think that I could handle the stresses that come with the duty as an Overseer; I hope you think this, too.</p>
<p>I hope you take these words to heart, Overseers.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> I am telling you, Jean, this is genuinely the spiciest fucking curry conceived by man, or well, woman. Not sure what my wife put into this stuff.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Had you skipped your warm-up for this one, Mathew?</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Gusteau reaches for a nearby ketchup bottle and hands it to Dr. Smith.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Next time, start small, yeah?</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Smith grips the bottle tightly, squeezing a large portion into his mouth, not breaking eye contact with Dr. Gusteau the entire time. Dr. Gusteau gags, as Dr. Smith gulps it down.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> Satisfied?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> You’re disgusting, you know that?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> You challenged me, and clearly my wife did too; this butter chicken is <em>diabolical.</em></p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Gusteau perks up.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Butter chicken? Not even Vindaloo or something? Oh come on, Mathew! Even I expect more from you.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> This isn’t your average butter chicken, Jean. God knows what she must’ve put into this stuff.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> <strong>TWO</strong> chilies?!? What, she take out a life insurance policy on you or something?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> Listen, I used to take out Indian all the time during my college days. This is different.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Yeah right, you must’ve been the least white guy at that restaurant.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> The food was hot, okay? They spiced it up real good.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Alright, take another bite then. I oughta see this.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> If that’s what it takes to convince you. Maybe it won’t be so bad now that I’m used to it.</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Smith proceeds to eat a small spoonful of butter chicken, before immediately spitting it out onto the table. He rushes to grab a carton of milk from the nearby refrigerator, as Dr. Gusteau begins to crack up.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Fucking hell, what’d she put in there, a ghost pepper? At least your wife’s got some comedy chops, I’ll give her that.</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Smith is frantically chugging the freshly grabbed milk, panting in between each sip, fanning himself with a napkin.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Come on, I was just busting your balls before, but this is getting ridiculous, even for you.</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Smith finishes the carton of milk and slams it onto the floor, beginning to hack and cough, keeling over in the process. Sweat is running down his forehead, dripping onto his lab coat.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Ah fuck.</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Gusteau gets up and walks over to Dr. Smith, grabbing another carton of milk on his way. He crouches down and hands it to him. Dr. Gusteau whispers something, before being pushed away by Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith returns to his seat, while panting heavily. Dr. Gusteau follows.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> You okay?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> (<em>In a raspy voice</em>) God. I think I’m okay, I just need a minute.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Fuck man, I kinda wanna try it now. You’ve got me all curious.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> You just saw me almost die out there, why would you ever wanna try it?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Come on, the pain’s half the fun.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> I genuinely don’t think you should have any.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> Only fair for me to give it a shot after busting your balls about it. Besides, I’ve handled much worse. I practically eat ghost peppers for breakfast.</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Gusteau eats a heaping spoonful with no notable reaction.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> This is like, unironically really, really mild. Think the spiciest thing in here is the heavy cream.</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Gusteau grabs another helping, audibly smacking his lips after swallowing.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gusteau:</strong> It’s really good, though!</p>

<p>SCP-8785 prior to consumption.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8785 is a butter chicken curry intended to have been consumed by Dr. Smith for lunch. Accounts of SCP-8785’s flavor profile have been erratic throughout testing, with only Dr. Smith having been capable of offering a consistent description of the true nature of SCP-8785. Whether or not SCP-8785 is sentient and specifically challenges Dr. Smith’s ability or elects to spare other Foundation personnel is unknown and is subject of further testing.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum SCP-8785-A:</strong> Incident Report</p>
<p>The following surveillance footage was pulled from Site-54’s director’s office.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>[Begin Relevant Footage]</strong></p>
<p>(<em>A hyperventilating Dr. Smith is seen bursting into the office, a knock was not heard on camera.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> Director Kingston, I need to speak with you immediately! This is Class-A Urgent!</p>
<p>(<em>Director Kingston sighs heavily, before quickly waving his hand.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Director Kingston:</strong> What’s it this time, Smith?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> We’ve got an unregistered anomaly impeding my work and damaging my good reputation.</p>
<p>(<em>Director Kingston lays back into his chair, hands crossed at the lap.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Director Kingston:</strong> I'm listening.</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Smith pulls out a Tupperware container of SCP-8785 and slams it down on Director Kingston’s desk.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> This curry’s got a mind of its own. It’s edible hellfire. The most miniscule of bites and BOOM!</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Smith mimics an explosion erupting from his mouth, accompanied by a quiet whooshing sound.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> It’s got me down for the count.</p>
<p><strong>Director Kingston:</strong> Aha, right. Dr. Gusteau mentioned <em>something</em> like that… and you’re certain this is ano-</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> Yes, yes, yes, it’s anomalous. I know my spice tolerance is a running joke at this point, but I promise you, I absolutely can handle my spice, and this curry knows it. It’s testing me.</p>
<p><strong>Director Kingston:</strong> Testing you?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Basically, almost everyone at the site thinks that it's mild, but we know that's not the case based on what I've experienced and-</p>
<p>(<em>Director Kingston pinches his forehead, before taking a deep breath.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Director Kingston:</strong> And this curry has it out for you, <em>right?</em> It was just waiting around waiting for a true challenger to step up to it, <em>right?</em> Everyone knows Dr. Smith is <strong>the</strong> perfect fit for that, <em>right</em>?</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Smith tilts his head before scratching the backside of it.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> Yeah, um, that's sort of it, yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Director Kingston:</strong> (<em>Under his breath</em>) Fuck me.</p>
<p>(<em>Director Kingston attempts to slide the Tupperware container to his person, but Dr. Smith quickly snatches it away before tucking it back into his bag.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Director Kingston:</strong> What the hell’s the matter with you?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> This thing almost murdered me. It’s flavor has been inconsistent. If it deems you worthy just like me and things go south… well, next thing I know they’ll have me packing my bags for almost killing a director. Just trust me on this one.</p>
<p><strong>Director Kingston:</strong> I'd trust a freshly pressed out infant to put up more of a fight against some heat than you.</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Smith points at a can of pringles set aside Director Kingston’s lunch.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Smith:</strong> Those are really hot, right? I am always up for a hot-chip challenge, best believe me.</p>
<p>(<em>Director Kingston scoffs.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Director Kingston:</strong> They are labeled Hot and Spicy Pringles, yes. They’re not really meant to be hot tho-</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Smith grabs a singular chip and crams it down his mouth, before immediately falling over, and writhing on the floor. Dr. Smith proceeds to slam his fist into the ground in quick succession. A small puddle of sweat begins to accumulate beneath his head.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Director Kingston:</strong> Well, congratulations, Dr. Smith, you’ve not wasted my time for once.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> As SCP-8785's anomalous trigger isn't fully understood, Dr. Smith may only consume lightly seasoned meals to avoid further incidents. In order to accommodate Dr. Smith, a specialty menu has been designed: it includes mildly salted chicken breast with a side of rice and green beans as a main, a side of mayonnaise based pasta salad and a cup of Jell-O as a dessert.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8785 is Dr. Smith’s exaggerated lack of spice tolerance when confronted with a lightly seasoned meal while in the presence of his peers. Consumption of any slightly spiced meal leads to great bodily harm and discomfort for Dr. Smith.</p>
<p>The exact conditions of this trigger are not fully understood, as further testing following Incident-8785-F has been suspended due to ethical concerns.</p>

<p>Head Archivist Sage,</p>
<p>This is everything we've found so far pertaining to Case-2022-002. Per Acting Director Leigh, we aren't getting any non-anomalous law enforcement involved, including the SPPD, mostly for the safety of the missing person; cops react badly to normal runaway cases, imagine if they drew their gun on a Type-Blue.</p>
<p>I didn't think that she'd just… do that. She loved this place more than anything. Reynolds is heartbroken, but we're making sure he and his kid get the best care they can. Leigh won't let you file this under Priority Alpha, but she was basically everyone's friend here, before she broke down. At the very least, make it Priority Gamma.</p>
<p>Also enclosed are a few copies of the most current missing persons poster for her. Everyone around 87 knows her, but you have family in the Upper Peninsula, and we think she may have headed there. If you could maybe get a few of them up in that direction, it would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Director Bailey,</p>
<p>Thank you for the flowers. They've helped liven up the place a bit. All I wanted was a clarification on how long my maternity leave was, and… well, you've certainly helped with that.</p>
<p>I'm not going to lie, Tristan: my life is kind of hell right now. Phoenix isn't sleeping, and neither are we. A few rudimentary rites to keep us awake are not a substitute for sleep. We don't know if she has colic or what; the doctors can't find anything wrong with her, but the instant I'm out of her sight, she starts bawling like a banshee.</p>
<p>I know this is probably out of her wheelhouse, but I'm wondering if there's not something anomalously wrong with her. If you could maybe see about getting Dr. Liao over here one day, I know i'm asking a lot but tristan please i havent' slept since july and monty and i are fighting every day now please help us</p>

<p><strong>Caller:</strong> I… I think I was… I was driving down Bray Road, out of… out of Sloth's Pit. Fucking deer came in front of the car and… oh god I'm in the woods.</p>
<p><strong>Dispatch:</strong> What's the make and model of your car, ma'am?</p>
<p><strong>Caller:</strong> It's a Volvo. Red… no, burgundy station wagon. It… before the turn of the century. Okay, I think I can walk.</p>
<p><strong>Dispatch:</strong> Ma'am, stay close to the car.</p>
<p><strong>Caller:</strong> I can't. I lost my damn eye.</p>
<p><strong>Dispatch:</strong> Your… eye?</p>

<p><strong>Dispatch:</strong> Ma'am, do not leave the vicinity of your car. There are dangerous animals in the woods surrounding Sloth's Pit.</p>
<p><strong>Caller:</strong> God, 'dangerous animals' is the excuse we gave you? I think it might be someone from work… Hello? Hello! Are you… what the hell are you?</p>

<p><em>Bleeding and bleary, the woman went to the first light she saw in the distance. She knew she was in pain, but she knew that she had been in worse. Her legs still worked, she could flex all her fing— no, that was a lie. Her left hand made an unnatural popping noise when she tried flexing the thumb. The steering wheel had been wrenched from her hand when she crashed, and at the very least, it was sprained.</em></p>
<p><em>She had swerved to miss a deer in the middle of the road. Idiot. She knew that she should have just plowed through Bambi, but she wasn't thinking straight. She had been driving for six… eight? Ten hours? When had she seen the sunset? Where was she?</em></p>
<p><em>The building came into focus. It was a diner? No, it was a coffee shop. It looked like it had been ripped out of the center of main street back home. But it was just sitting here, on the side of the highway. She couldn't make out the sign through the rain and her tears and the fact that she only had one eye didn't help matters, either.</em></p>

<p>"Kat! You're late."</p>
<p>Kathryn Sinclair blinked as she walked through the door of Sid's Coffee Place. It was mid-morning, her apron was on backwards, and there was a line. She blinked at her boss, Sidney Charmer, as if she didn't know what was happening. After a moment, her brain fog lifted; it always happened when she was late to a shift, everything about the day got discombobulated.</p>
<p>"Sorry, sorry," she said, getting behind the counter. "Car blew up on me and I had to take the metro."</p>
<p>"Couldn't have called?" Sid grimaced, eyebrows knitting together under their green hair.</p>
<p>"Out of minutes for the month."</p>
<p>Sidney shook their head. "Well, the BARI-STAR's on the fritz, and you're a wizard when it comes to fixing this thing. It's been house blend only for the last half hour."</p>
<p>"On it, boss." Kat went into the back closet, got her hair in a net, and got out some tools. She found the manual for the BARI-STAR easily enough— Sidney had written it themselves— and though she had read it hundreds of times, thought it was a good idea to get a refresher.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Serial #:</strong> SCP-8787</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> BARI-STAR Galactic Three-Cup Espresso and Latte Machine</p>
<p><strong>Specifications for Cheap Patching:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>One of the milk steaming wands just doesn't work. Don't bother trying to repair it.</li>
<li>Anything else:</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Is the boiler working? Check that first.</li>
<li>Stop and turn off all heating elements, we don't want a repeat of what happened with Quinn.</li>
<li>The tubes get clogged a lot, make sure they're unclogged.</li>
<li>Halve the amount of coffee brewed for a while; sometimes the machine just gets tired.</li>
<li>If all else fails, whack it with a wrench.</li>
<li>STOP! Don't do that, they don't make parts for these anymore.</li>
</ol>

<div class="outside">
<p>It had always struck Kat as odd that a machine this old was still in service; it was top-of-the line, thanks in no small part to her repair skills, and the lifetime warranty certainly helped. She wondered at what point the BARI-STAR stopped being the same coffee machine it was back in the 90's. A Coffee Maker of Theseus. On some level, it was still the original machine; the fact that the left coffee steamer hadn't worked since she started working here, and that she never <em>could</em> get it working, was evidence of that.</p>
<p>She exited the back room and set about to repairing the machine, while Sid kept serving customers. "Hey, Sid?"</p>
<p>"Hmm?"</p>
<p>"When are you going to change the signs? I thought you renamed the place."</p>
<p>"They're on back order," Sidney admitted with a sigh. "Haven't been able to get someone out here to paint the window either."</p>
<p>"I'm still shocked they wouldn't let you keep the name 'Sid's Coffee Place'."</p>
<p>"Well apparently there's a 'Sid's Coffee Place' in some backwoods town in Wisconsin, and I'm not allowed to use the name because they filed their trademark a year before I did."</p>
<p>"That's bullshit. We should sue."</p>
<p>"With <em>what money</em>, Kat? You willing to give up your paycheck?"</p>
<p>"Fair point." Kat set to the task of disassembling the BARI-STAR. The inside of the establishment formerly known as Sid's Coffee Place was a modest affair, but it was cozy enough. Tables along the front windows and in each corner, a small room off to the side for 'private functions' (which got a surprising amount of use post-pandemic), a fireplace, and perhaps inadvisably, a small bookshelf next to the aforementioned fireplace. Kat swore up and down one day that she would read every book on the shelf, but Sidney had a strange taste in books; he had <em>The Complete Works of Franz Kafka</em> on the same shelf as Tamsyn Muir, and nobody wanted anything to do with the works of Charles Stross on the shelf below it, but the copies of <em>The Handmaid's Tale</em> and <em>John Dies At The End</em> were read so frequently that their back covers were held on by tape. Philadelphia's coffee crowd had an eclectic taste in books, according to Sid, but she never—</p>
<p><em>She was screaming again. Always with the screaming, she never stopped. How could someone that young survive for so long without sleep, without air? The earplugs didn't help, nor did the coffee. She'd grown to hate the drink so much—</em></p>
<p>Kat blinked. The BARI-STAR was fixed, except for that stupid steam wand. She brewed an experimental cup of espresso just to make sure, and everything was working fine. The shop was full of people. Everything was going okay.</p>

<div class="outside">
<p>"You ever regret dropping out?" Sid asked as the lunchtime rush finished a few hours later.</p>
<p>Kathryn rolled her eyes. Sid asked the same question at least once every three months— it was like he had amnesia! She had to come up with a unique answer each time. "I was getting an anthropology degree, Sid. Not exactly a lot of places hiring for the humanities around here."</p>
<p>"Could've gone abroad."</p>
<p>"And done what?"</p>
<p>"I dunno. The Philippines have some pretty cool folklore. You could've studied there."</p>
<p>"I'd have to learn at least two different languages. Hard pass." Kat shook her head. "No, if I hadn't dropped out, I wouldn't be here, and I'm glad for that."</p>
<p>Sid looked at her skeptically. "You don't want to do anything else except work here?"</p>
<p>"I mean, eventually I want to find someone and settle down, but… I can't have kids."</p>
<p>"Right… with the…" Sid rubbed their midsection, their face a grimace of sympathy. "Would you want to have kids, if you could?"</p>
<p>"Don't know," Kat admitted. "I was born without a soul, and I'm not sure I'd want to risk a child with the same."</p>
<p>Sid looked at her quizzically. They were sometimes slow on getting jokes. "That was a joke about… your hair?"</p>
<p>"Yeah. Redheads don't have souls, dontchaknow." She grinned.</p>
<p>Someone knocked on the counter with all of the tact of someone inviting Sidney to a gender reveal party. Kathryn recognized him, and suppressed a groan; she recognized this customer, but hadn't seen him in about a year. It was Mr. Wet, so called because that was all that was ever legible on his cups, no matter what she did. He was heavyset but tall, and looked like he was wearing his own skin wrong. Mr. Wet was whiter than a mayonnaise and marble sandwich, with hair that stuck out in every direction but the correct one, a beard in the process of exploding, glasses with a prescription so thick that they could be used as a microscope, and clip-on tie that, somehow, was on <em>backwards</em>. His hair was at least styled a bit more neatly this year. Him being in town meant that it was time for the annual Symposium on the Cessation of Petroleum, a conference hosted in Philadelphia where a bunch of eggheads, hippies, and hippies who had egghead DNA got together and talked about phasing out fossil fuels. A noble goal, but she had gotten better tips from politicians than she got from these people.</p>
<p>"Good to see you again," Kathryn said, ice in her voice.</p>
<p>"…do I know you?" Mr. Wet asked, looking around as if he were disoriented.</p>
<p>"Motherfucker, you come in here every year to get coffee before the symposium begins," Kathryn said, tactfully omitting the 'motherfucker'.</p>
<p>"Oh. Huh. Coulda sworn this place had a different name last year…" Mr. Wet frowned. "Well, I'll have black, one sugar."</p>
<p>"Name for that?"</p>
<p>"William Wettle."</p>
<p><em>If that's your real name, I'm Cindy Crawford,</em> Kathryn thought as she went about making the order. But the name sounded… familiar to her somehow. She was distracted by the thought of <em>Where have I heard that name before?</em> so thoroughly that she put in a cream instead of a sugar, before handing the coffee to him.</p>
<p>He took out a chalky Lactaid pill, swallowed it, and then downed the coffee. "I asked for sugar, and you gave me cream."</p>
<p>"Oh, sh— sorry," Kat winced.</p>
<p>"Happens every time. When I'm in the mood for cream, I ask for sugar, and vice-versa. Ain't your fault…" He looked at her nametag and frowned. "Why is your name spelled like a character out of <em>Snow Crash?</em>"</p>
<p>"From what my mom told me? The 'E' key on the keyboard when they were typing out my birth certificate didn't work. Now I'm stuck with this."</p>
<p>"Huh." Wettle looked up at her, squinting. "…your eyes… what's…"</p>
<p>"Lost it in a car wreck. $7.90."</p>
<p>"Your board says—"</p>
<p>"That was before you made a comment about my eye, jackass." She did <em>not</em> omit the jackass here. "Were you raised in a barn?"</p>
<p>"I… was raised in Peoria…" Wettle reluctantly surrendered eight dollars, muttered 'keep the change', and left. As he toddled down the street, Kathryn heard a yelp; the dumb motherfucker had probably spilled coffee on himself.</p>
<p>"Classic Wettle," she snorted.</p>
<p>"You know him?" Sid asked, as the front of the counter became a void of customers.</p>
<p>"He's in here every year for that eco-conference. Pretty sure he's spilled his coffee every time he comes in here." She frowned. "Guy must have crazy bad luck."</p>
<p>Sidney paused. "Don't you think it's a bit odd that we share initials?"</p>
<p>"Who?"</p>
<p>"Sid's Coffee Place, Symposium for the Cessation of Petroleum…"</p>
<p>"I mean, more words in English start with those three letters than any others, Sid. Besides, you're changing the name soon. What's it—</p>
<p><em>matter? The matter is, Monty, that I can't fucking do this! I've tried splitting myself in two in every sense but the literal one, and I can't FUCKING do it! You know what my mother was like! You've seen her in the home! Why did I think it was going to be any—</em></p>
<p>—different today, Alie?" Kat blinked; she was talking to one of her regulars, a woman who, no matter what the weather, was wearing a leather jacket, tight jeans, and a wide-brimmed fedora. She looked somewhat alarmed that Kathryn had remembered her name.</p>
<p>"Sorry, what?" Alie asked.</p>
<p>"Would you like to try something different today? The BARI-STAR is a bit on the fritz, and I don't want it to break making your order."</p>
<p>Allie Carol looked at Kathryn, then over her shoulder at Sidney, furrowing her eyebrow. Kat looked over her shoulder, and Sid just shrugged.</p>
<p>"Uh, yeah." Alie blinked. "I'm in the mood for tea. Can you make a chai latte?"</p>
<p>"Was there a snake in the garden?" Kat turned to make the latte.</p>
<p>"There was…" Alie frowned. "She's actually not half-bad once you get to know her, but I wish I didn't see her smut collection."</p>
<p>"What?"</p>
<p>"What?"</p>
<p>Alison Carol was prone to odd exchanges like this. Kat handed her the chai latte about a minute later. "Here we go, chai latte."</p>
<p>Alison pulled out her credit card and swiped it, leaving a large tip seemingly more out of bewilderment than anything. "It's… good to see you, Doc." She sipped her tea. "How's the eye?"</p>
<p>"Still missing. Maybe when I'm in my eighties, they can 3D print me a new one, and I can look at all the grandkids I don't have with 20/20 vision."</p>
<p>"Right." Alison nodded. "Well… I'd best be off. I want to avoid the people from the 'Symposium' as much as possible." She waved her hand through the air. "Did Wettle come through here?"</p>
<p>"Oh god, you know that clown?" Kathryn sighed. "How?"</p>
<p>"By reputation. Long story, but… be careful out there, Katherine."</p>
<p>Kat blinked; she didn't know how, but she had a feeling that Alison had just spelled her name wrong. Before she could correct her, the bell over the door was ringing, and she was gone.</p>
<p>"Let's get you home early tonight," Sid said. "Going to have to deal with a bunch of clowns from the Symposium tomorrow, and I want you well-rested for that."</p>
<p>"You good to close up?" Kat started stripping out of her apron.</p>
<p>"When have I never not been, Kit-Kat?"</p>
<p>"<em>Don't</em>," she snapped. "…sorry. Jackass of an ex used to call me that."</p>
<p>"Sorry. What happened to him?"</p>
<p>"Not 'him or her'?"</p>
<p>"You're not <em>that</em> adventurous, Kathryn." Sid grinned, and by the way the light hit his teeth, they seemed to be <em>pointed</em>.</p>
<p>Kat swallowed. "He died in a fire. Real asshole of a person."</p>
<p>"You sure about that?"</p>
<p>"…positive," Kat said. "He had no next of kin, so I had to ID him. Can I go, Sid?"</p>
<p>"Sure."</p>
<p>Kat exited into the Philadelphian winter, caught the metro back to her apartment, and slept. Her dreams weren't pretty.</p>

<br/>
<strong>Lead Investigating Agent:</strong> Ethel Kursh<br/>
<strong>Psychological Evaluator:</strong> Dr. Merrick Palmer
<p><strong>Details of Incident:</strong> On January 22nd, 2024, at the Annual Foundation Inter-Disciplinary Symposium in Philadelphia, Dr. William Wallace Wettle (<a href="/scp-7000">SCP-7000</a>, Site-43, henceforth victim) approached Researcher Montgomery Reynolds (Site-87, henceforth assailant) at the opening dinner. Following an exchange of dialogue between the two (unrecorded) the assailant began an argument with the victim, during which the victim tripped over a banana peel and hit his head on the side of the table.</p>
<p><strong>Charges:</strong><br/>
1 count of threatening a sapient SCP<br/>
1 count of threatening Foundation personnel<br/>
1 count disruption of decorum</p>

<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> Neither of us look good here, do we?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Merrick Palmer:</strong> Honestly, Reynolds, you're lucky that Wettle's such an ass that you have likely have justification for screaming at him. But I'd like to know what that justification <em>is</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> I want to know you're not just speaking as a friend. Cronyism has been…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Palmer:</strong> I'm speaking as someone who is helping decide whether or not you get to keep your job, Montgomery.</p>

<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> Wettle… he said he saw my wife. He said he saw Katherine, Merr. She… she's been gone for over a <em>year</em>. I thought he was making fun of me.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Palmer:</strong> Dr. Wettle is several things, but he is <em>not</em> a fabulist— he lacks the imagination for it. But how would he recognize your wife? Have they met?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> Katherine was born in Philadelphia. I brought a few missing persons posters to the city, posted them in a few different metro stations, around a few parks… I even made the trip up to Upper Darby, where her mother used to live, just in case. He must have happened by one of them.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Palmer:</strong> You put up missing person's posters… in <em>this</em> weather? Reynolds, the temperature hasn't risen above zero centigrade in the last <em>month</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> I grew up in New York. I'm used to a bit of cold.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Palmer:</strong> Did he tell you <em>where</em> he saw your wife?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> I didn't give him a chance to say.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Palmer:</strong> I have him in the other room. Would you like me to fetch him?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> If he'll even be in the same room as me.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Palmer:</strong> I'm sure he'll understand.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Palmer exits the holding cell and re-enters approximately five minutes later with Dr. Wettle in tow.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> I'm not gonna press charges. It's my own damn luck I dinged my head.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> You said you saw Katherine. Where?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> There's this coffee shop I go to every year. Had a different name a year ago, but I think it still has the same owner. She was working there as a barista. Seemed to recognize me, but didn't know who I was, if that makes sense.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> What was the name of this place?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Sidney… no, Sid's Coffee Place.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> …say that again.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Sid's Coffee P— what the fuck are you doing?!</p>
<p><em>Rsr. Reynolds conjures a minor rite of thaumaturgy.</em></p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> I'm analyzing the language. Say it again.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> S-Sid's Coffee Place. <em>The fuck is that?!</em></p>
<p><em>Using thaumaturgy, Rsr. Reynolds highlights <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/pickman-blank-proposal/offset/1">a memetic complex</a> present in the name of 'Sid's Coffee Place'.</em></p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> That's… the Frontispiece.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Euler, Scout and company lobotomizing the human race on a linguistic level.</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> What? Like <em>a quarter of my job</em> is making sure that the Frontispiece works, regardless of context.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> But… I don't recognize the front. We <em>have</em> a front that's a coffee shop, Solo Café Panama.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> Why have two?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> Because the Department of Redundancy Department still has a budget?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> Wettle. Now is not the time to pull my leg.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wettle:</strong> I wish I was.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>A search of the Foundation's database found no records for a Foundation front named "Sid's Coffee Place," making the presence of the Frontispiece, without a Foundation front behind it, inexplicable.</p>
<p>The following day, January 24th, Reynolds attempted to make contact with the entity who resembled Dr. Sinclair.<br/>

<div class="outside">
<p>Sid's Coffee Place was eerily vacant the next day. Kathryn had no problem getting there, but for about five blocks around the cafe, there was no traffic, no people walking, no lights on in the buildings… but Sid was still there when she clocked in. Sid was <em>always</em> there. "I miss a national tragedy or something?" she asked. "Where <em>is</em> everyone?"</p>
<p>"Got me," Sid shrugged inside their thick, green jacket. "Been here since six and I ain't seen a soul."</p>
<p>"Maybe you scared them off, ya creep."</p>
<p>"I'm not creepy," Sidney frowned. With a flourish, hand on their chest, they declared, "I am <em>delightful</em>."</p>
<p>"You're a creep, and you're so hammy that a Rabbi would call you <em>trefah</em>."</p>
<p>"Firstly: ouch. Second: since when do you know Yiddish?" Sid frowned, left eyebrow raised.</p>
<p>"Hebrew, actually. Dated a guy after I dropped out." Kathryn shivered, and realized, her teeth chattering hard enough to make her head rattle, that she could see her breath. "F-f-fucking hell, S-s-Sid, did the furnace go out a-a-<em>again?!</em>"</p>
<p>"Super said he'd be by to fix it in an hour."</p>
<p>"H-how l-long ago was t-that?"</p>
<p>"…two hours."</p>
<p>Kathryn rolled her eyes, made her way into the backroom, and got the tool kit and the manual for the furnace. She frowned. "That's w-weird."</p>
<p>"What?"</p>
<p>"F-furnace has the same s-serial number as the c-coffee maker. SCP-8787."</p>
<p>Sid squinted. "You implying something."</p>
<p>"I just think it's odd."</p>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div class="outside">
<p>"D-don't need to know how to clean it…" She flipped through the manual until she hit "Safely Causing Phosphorescence." She fished her gloves out of her pocket and put them on. "J-Jesus, Sid, did you get this translated from Bulgarian or something? Who says 'Phosphorescence' outside of a bad fantasy novel anymore?"</p>
<p>"Can you fix it or not?"</p>
<p>"Assuming the problem is the pilot light going out and not you being delinquent on our gas bill again, yes." Her hands starting to numb, she took out a candle lighter and opened the door that led to the coffee shop's basement. She sang to herself as she headed down to dissipate the gloom and cold— "Do You Believe In Magic" by the Lovin' Spoonfuls. As she sang, she sat down by the furnace to do a quick repair job.</p>
<p>A few minutes alter, Kathryn was still shivering, but the furnace was working, thank god. "Still fucking cold. Goddammit if the HVAC's broken too, I'm going home…" She trudged back upstairs just as the heating system kicked on. "We gotta tell the Super to replace the pilot light. Fifth time it's gone out since the start of the year, and I'm not interested in serving frappucuinos." She realized she was talking to herself; Sid had left a note on the counter that simply read 'Milk's bad, getting more'.</p>
<p>"No it's not." Kat picked up the milk from the fridge, held it to her nose, and retched. Like something out of a story where a fairy had been pissed off, the milk had curdled overnight. "Well, fuck."</p>
<p>The bell over the door ringed, and in walked a portly man with dark skin, his hair in greying dreadlocks. He was dressed in a leather trenchcoat, which was at least appropriate for the weather, and Kathryn thought he looked kind of handsome — and then she saw the ring on his finger and immediately lost interest. All the men even remotely close to her age were married. Wasn't fair. "Hi," Kat said. "We can't do lattes right now. Milk's gone bad. But I can make you some tea or… cof…fee…" Kathryn was taken aback by the man's behavior. "Are… are you okay?"</p>
<p>The man had tears forming in the corners of his eyes as he looked at her, and his mouth was hanging open slightly. He was mouthing words, but nothing came out. He looked like he was in shock or — Kathryn thought back to finding her grandfather slumped over in the arm chair at home — having a stroke. "Hey, hey. Let's… let's get you sat down, okay?" Kat crossed from behind the counter and pulled out a chair for him.</p>
<p>He sat down in it, shock present on his face, and wiped some snow off of his coat. Her hand brushed against something firm and plastic, and she stared — she was looking at a button camera on his coat. "Are you recording this? What the fu—"</p>
<p>The bell over the door rang again, and Sidney returned, with a bottle of milk. "Ah, Kat! You've met our newest hire, I see."</p>
<p>"Wh—" Kathryn looked down at the man. The look of shock had vanished, and was replaced by first confusion, and then a warm, handsome smile.</p>
<p>"Oh, yeah, sorry. She thought I was a customer, wouldn't let me get a word in." He stood up and extended his hand to her. "Monty Reynolds. Just moved here with my daughter."</p>
<p>Kathryn felt a fog intrude upon her mind, one she had let in before, one that took away the pain associated with working in a shitty coffee parlor. She let it wash over her, and took the hand. "Kat Sinclair. Good to meet you." She looked at his hand; she <em>swore</em> there was a ring on it, but it seemed to be absent. "You're not married?"</p>
<p>"Nicky is from a previous marriage," Reynolds explained. "I'm single at the moment. You like kids?"</p>
<p>"I don't think I'd be good with them."</p>
<p>"Ever try?" He raised an eyebrow with a smirk.</p>
<p>"Not since I babysat for six bucks an hour in high school," she admitted. "You already met Sid, then?"</p>
<p>"Oh, Monty and I go way back," Sidney admitted. "Now, let's get you out of that coat and into your uniform, all right?"</p>
<p>"I'm not going to have to wear a hairnet, am I?" Reynolds touched his dreadlocks. "I worked so hard getting these right…."</p>
<p>"Only when you're in the kitchen. You'll be manning the counter for the first couple of weeks, and Kat'll be teaching you how to make the best cup of joe in central Philly."</p>
<p>"I think we have an apron in your size," Kat said. "Follow me… uh…" She frowned. "Sorry, I'm shit with names."</p>
<p>"Montgomery. Monty for short."</p>
<p>"Like <em>Monty Python</em>? I think I can remember that."</p>
<p>As they headed into the back room, Sid looked at the palm of his hand. They held a button camera, still transmitting to Reynold's original employers. "I'm only going to say this once," Sidney said, staring straight into the camera. "Don't interfere, for their sakes. I don't want any more people to get folded into what's happening here. Too many cooks, <em>etc</em>. Capisce?"</p>
<p>With that, Sidney folded the camera into half, then into quarters, then into eighths, until it folded out of existence.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, baffled agents were staring at a notification: SIGNAL LOST.</p>

<p><strong>Date:</strong> January 24th, 2024</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> Urban Site-56, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; site of the annual Foundation inter-disciplinary symposium.</p>
<p><strong>In Attendance:</strong> Rsr. Claire Sage, Head Archivist, Site-87; Dr. Django Bridge, Archivist, Site-17; Dr. Daniel Asheworth, Director, Site-120; Dr. Udo Okorie, Thaumaturge, Site-43; Dr. Ilse Reynders, Acroamatic Abatement, Site-43.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Good evening, everyone. For those of you who don't know me — which I am now realizing is the majority of you — I'm Site-87's head archivist, and I've been assigned to take charge on this in the absence of… other parties that are qualified.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> Where's Director Bailey? Sinclair worked under him, he should be here.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> He's… indisposed.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> A word which here means, what, exactly?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> It means that Dr. Willow Leigh is Acting Director of Site-87, and has been for the last six months.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Genuine question: how does 87 go from having a Director serve for thirty years to having one that only lasts three?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Officially, Director Bailey hasn't stepped down. He's just… attending to other duties. In any case, if you could all take a moment to read over your dossiers…</p>
<p><em>All in attendance open the dossiers in front of them. Dr. Bridge raises their hand.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Can I just ask what I'm doing here? I'm missing a seminar on eschatological prevention for this.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> You're the only member of the Epimetheus Commission<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> that could be reached in a timely manner, and given the nature of the anomaly…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> I don't see how this pertains to Omega-7. Or Alpha-9, for that matter.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> We think what's happening here is a manifestation of SCP-8787.</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> I'm sorry, <em>what?!</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I'm not familiar with 8787.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> It would be easier to pull up the file. Can you pull down that screen, Sage?</p>
<p><em>Rsr. Sage deploys a projector screen from the ceiling of the meeting room. Dr. Bridge pulls up SCP-8787's file on their laptop, before connecting it to the projector.</em></p>

Instead, containment efforts are to take the form of information suppression and, in the event that members of the Foundation become SCP-8787-B instances, personnel recovery.</p>
<p>At no point is SCP-8787-A to be engaged in direct combat. Doing so in the past has proved detrimental to local reality in the short term, and it is currently unknown what the full extent of SCP-8787-A's ontokinesis is. They are to be treated as a potential Type Black threat until further information on them can be gained.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8787 refers to an entity which, at last sighting, resembled an American coffee house. Since its discovery, SCP-8787 has taken on a variety of names, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sidney's House of Brews</li>
<li>The Coffee Shack</li>
<li>Michigan Brew Hut</li>
<li>Grounds For Love</li>
</ul>
<p>The most recent manifestation of SCP-8787 known to the Foundation was in 2019 in Boston, Massachusetts, where it took the form of a cafe called 'Lit Lattes'.</p>
<p>SCP-8787 is operated by two distinct entities; SCP-8787-A and SCP-8787-B. SCP-8787-A refers to a genderless humanoid of indeterminate age, standing at approximately 1.8m in height with green hair. SCP-8787-A is a Type-Green, potentially Type-Black entity, that has shown properties of being a mnemonomorph<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> and potential imperfect chronokinetic<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> that allow it to recruit SCP-8787-B.</p>
<p>SCP-8787-B refers to humans that have been affected by SCP-8787-A's anomalous abilities. SCP-8787-B instances have intact explicit memories until the ages of 18-22; after this point, their accounts will diverge from reality. SCP-8787-B instances routinely claim that:</p>
<ul>
<li>They work at SCP-8787, and have since the point of divergence;</li>
<li>Their job at SCP-8787 is either the only job they have ever had, or one of very few;</li>
<li>They met at least one significant other while working at SCP-8787, either a fellow SCP-8787-B instance or a customer;</li>
<li>They live near where SCP-8787 has manifested, either being local to the area or having recently moved there. This is aided by SCP-8787-A's chronokinetic properties;</li>
<li>They have no desire to cease employment at SCP-8787.</li>
</ul>
<p>SCP-8787-A does not appear to have a finite range on its abilities, but will typically choose local members of the population to act as SCP-8787-B instances, only rarely selecting individuals from further afield.</p>
<p>SCP-8787 was discovered following a string of disappearances in Boston, Massachusetts in 1947. All of the individuals who had disappeared were discovered in a coffee shop called Sidney's House of Brews in Scollay Square. An engagement between agents of the Foundation and SCP-8787-A resulted in what is now understood as damage to the semantic and psychic underpinnings of the concept of 'Scollay Square', necessitating its demolition and redevelopment into Government Center.</p>
<p>SCP-8787's most infamous interaction with the Foundation occurred in 2006, when seven members of Mobile Task Force Omega-7 ("Pandora's Box") disappeared following a plane crash in the Antarctic, including two humanoid SCP objects; they were discovered in a manifestation of SCP-8787 in Sandusky, Ohio in 2007, when an early Youtube video showcased a humanoid resembling SCP-076-2 working behind the counter at a coffee shop called "Water Street Cafe."</p>

<p><strong>Begin Log</strong></p>
<p><em>Agent Rhys Porter and Agent Dashell Cameron stand outside the Water Street Cafe, looking through the windows. SCP-076-2 is visible, conversing with SCP-105.</em></p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> Is it just me, or does Able look… happy?</p>
<p><strong>Cameron:</strong> It's just you. The thought of 076-2 being happy is… kind of disturbing, if I'm being honest. Let's hope they don't—</p>
<p><em>SCP-076-2 embraces SCP-105. SCP-105 returns the gesture.</em></p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> Oh, what fresh hell is <em>this?</em></p>
<p><strong>Cameron:</strong> Let's get in there. Don't drink anything. Just pretend you're a disaffected writer getting on your laptop.</p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> Fuck you, my novel's going to be finished one day.</p>
<p><strong>Cameron:</strong> Sure it is.</p>
<p><em>The agents enter SCP-8787 and sit at a table. Porter sets up recording equipment to eavesdrop on SCP-076-2 and SCP-105's conversation.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-076-2:</strong> No, I'm serious.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> How would we afford it? We're barely making enough for our apartment right now.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-076-2:</strong> Well, I got a college fund that's collecting dust since I dropped out…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> I thought that was for your brother once he got out of jail?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-076-2:</strong> <<em>Sighing</em>> Cain's parole got denied. He's not getting out for at least another ten years.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Aww, Abe…</p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> <em>Abe?</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-076-2:</strong> Look, how often do we get to leave this dicktown? I got about $20k in the fund. That's enough for a trip around Europe. You've always wanted to add photos of the Eiffel Tower to your collection…</p>
<p><strong>Cameron:</strong> Shit, he's not just happy, he's in <em>love</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> Do you think he still has his… like, the connection to the sarcophagus?</p>
<p><strong>Cameron:</strong> What, are you going to shoot him and find out?</p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> What? No.</p>
<p><strong>Cameron:</strong> Why not? Might help snap 105 out of it. You… think anyone else works here?</p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> Check out the employees of the month.</p>
<p><em>Cameron turns their attention to a board on the wall with photographs of employees of the month of months past. SCP-076-2 was given the award in January of 2007, and several other missing members of Omega-7 are photographed.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cameron:</strong> Christ. Okay, we run through the standard array of trigger phrases?</p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> Sounds good.</p>
<p><em>Cameron and Porter stand and approach the counter. SCP-076-2 is manning the register.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-076-2:</strong> Welcome to the Water Street Cafe. What can we—</p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> It is raining in Gilgamesh, Ohio.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-076-2:</strong> I'm… sorry?</p>
<p><strong>Cameron:</strong> The wagtail has returned.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-076-2:</strong> Ah, dammit. Is this some weird role-play thing? Colossalcon's not until June, guys.</p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> Hope I can get the pronunciation on this right… <em>Orresh lagh dhan</em>.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup></p>
<p><strong>SCP-076-2:</strong> What… what are you… wait. What am I doing here?</p>
<p><em>SCP-076-2 looks down at their uniform, eyes widening. A look of abject horror is on their face.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-076-2:</strong> What in the name of the <em>Eight Saints?</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Abe? You good?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-076-2:</strong> No. I'm not. This… this is wrong. Iris. I'm sorry. I have… I have to go.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Your… planet needs you?</p>
<p><em>SCP-076-2 produces a broadsword using its anomalous capabilities and stabs itself through the chest, returning to SCP-076-1.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> What the fuck? What the fuck?! <em>What the fuck what the fuck what the FUCK?!</em></p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> SCP-1— fuck, Iris, calm down.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Calm down? <em>Calm down?!</em> You said some words in goddamn Mongolian or something and my boyfriend of <em>seven years</em> just fucking stabbed himself with a sword he <em>pulled out of thin air!</em></p>
<p><strong>Cameron:</strong> Stop Constantly Panicking.</p>
<p><em>SCP-105 seizes up and looks forward, eyes glazing over. Drool falls from her mouth. Seventeen seconds later, she resumes normal neurological activity.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> …Rhys? Dash? What… what the fuck is… oh God.</p>
<p><strong>Porter:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> We… we got brought here a-after the crash. I… I don't know how. One second Able had gone berserk and we were all rushing towards the tundra, the next—</p>
<p><em>SCP-8787-A rises up from behind the counter.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Well. Shit.</p>
<p><em>Porter and Rhys draw their weapons.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Man knew how to make the best goddamn green tea latte I've ever tasted, and you went and gave him a fatal panic attack. Great job. Goddammit, you're lucky nobody else is in here. Less witnesses for you to pour brain bleach onto.</p>
<p><em>Porter pulls the trigger. His weapon jams.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Gentlemen, please. We all know that won't work. Iris, I see you reaching for my photo, that won't work either.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> You… why? Why me and… and that <em>thing?</em></p>
<p><em>SCP-105 indicates the rapidly-disintegrating remains of SCP-076-2.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> You had a lot in common, honestly. Both of you are slaves to a cause you don't comprehend, both of you are gifted, and both of you <em>deeply</em> miss your mothers. It wouldn't kill to call her once in a while, Iris.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> My… my mom's dead. Heart attack, six years ago. I saw the obituary…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> If your mother's dead, then I'm O5-7. Sorry to break it to you, kid, but the Foundation has been lying to you. <em>Dash, stop trying to shoot me, you're making yourself look like a jackass.</em></p>
<p><em>Agent Cameron has disassembled their gun twice at this point to attempt to clear the jam affecting it.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Iris, I'm sad to say you and everyone else on the team are fired, and this shop is closed. You fascist motherfuckers <em>really</em> know how to spoil my good times, you know that?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> We're not fascis—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Fascist, totalitarian, authoritarian, you're run by a council of thirteen anonymous motherfuckers who are accountable to literally nobody, not even god. You're bad news and I hope that when the Feast starts, you make the right decision.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8787-A turns to SCP-105.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> You'll all be getting a severance package of course. I'm not a monster. Toodle-loo.</p>
<p><em>SCP-105, Porter, Cameron, and all other missing Omega-7 agents are abruptly teleported to a wheat field approximately 28 kilometers south of their previous location. Investigation of the location of Water Street Cafe showed that it had been an unrelated bakery for the last fifteen years.</em></p>
<p><em>Following this incident SCP-105 repeatedly requested contact with her mother. This was eventually granted in 2015, after the creation of Mobile Task Force Alpha-9.</em></p>

<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> I would like to thank everyone present for not laughing at that… last report.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I'm just wondering how you didn't find them sooner.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> YouTube was small back then. Half the reason the Foundation helped bankroll it was so it could be used to help identify anomalies in the wild.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Good to know that my teenage years were defined by helping this place aggregate data on the anomalous. That aside, last time we had a run in with 8787, it was a humiliation.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Worse than that. 076-2 didn't become active for over a year after that. It was almost like he was… I don't know, depressed? We were afraid of a repeat of — that's classified, actually.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sage:</strong> Well, it's back, and it's kidnapped at least two Foundation personnel. Sinclair and Reynolds retrieved the Orykalkos Codex and helped restore anomalous activity to the world during the <a href="/scp-6500">SCP-6500</a> crisis. Sinclair experienced a breakdown about eighteen months later and went missing. Now she's turned up here.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> Doesn't she have a daughter? What's the status on her?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> As of right now? In an apartment in East Philadelphia, with a babysitter. She was relocated there when Reynolds got caught up in this mess.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Sinclair's a capable thaumaturge. She'd have wards up against any sort of mental alteration.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> We're assuming this is magical in nature. Bridge, don't give me that look, it's accepted nomenclature post-6500. This thing could be affecting her memory with pheromones, or… I don't know. Is this really all the Foundation has on it?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> 8787 is a clusterfuck. There are some archaeologists who think that it used to be a pub before Prohibition happened in the US, but we don't <em>know</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Dr Reynders:</strong> I'm wondering why a coffee shop, myself. Baristas always seem slightly miserable to me.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> I paid for some of my tuition by working at the Starbucks in my college. No 'slightly' about it. But… when Reynolds came to try and confront his wife, he got pulled into it. If 8787 is capable of pulling people in on a whim, why start now?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> There has to be <em>some</em> sort of limit to its capabilities. Maybe it can only take on willing parties?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> I don't see why Able would want to work in a coffee shop.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> No, I think Dr. Reynders might be onto something. Maybe it needs permission? Wettle didn't get dragged into it, and presumably, nor did most of the Foundation agents we've sent to it over the years.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> A mind-affecting anomaly needing consent. First time for everything, I suppose. But this is still woefully incomplete, as a file goes.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> We haven't seen much of it since 2007.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Maybe other groups have?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> I can start putting out feelers. The GOC is probably going to be as cooperative as a hernia, but my contact in the Horizon Initiative owes me a favor.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> If there's anything about this in records prior to 1943, I've probably read it at some point. Give me a day or two.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> I'll see if Iris is in a talkative mood. Maybe she can shed some light on what it was like being there.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> I want to see if I can't conduct a thaumic analysis on-site. If Sinclair and Reynolds are ensorcelled, I might be able to snap them out of it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I don't think you should do that alone, Doctor. I have wards on me that will likely help prevent my own seizure by this object.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> …the ones that make you meow and talk with a speech impediment when they're tripped?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> That was an unfortunate side effect we have agreed to nya— <em>never</em> mention again.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> We'll re-convene tomorrow with our findings. One last thing: try not to drink the coffee. We don't know if that's a component or not, but just in case, try to avoid consuming anything. Okay, that's all. You're dismissed.</p>

<div class="outside">
<p>The next morning would be dedicated to getting the new hire trained. Kat had taken a shine to the tall, handsome stranger that had walked in through the front door of her coffee shop, but she couldn't help but shake the feeling that she knew him from <em>somewhere</em>. "You've never been to Philly before?"</p>
<p>"Grew up in New York. Worked as a consultant at this place in Wisconsin for a bit, but the company went under when they tried to open a new branch here."</p>
<p>"Economy's bullshit, don't care what people say. If I didn't already have this job, I probably couldn't get one. What kind of consultancy?"</p>
<p>"Government work. Under an NDA."</p>
<p>"Eesh, fair."</p>
<p>The pair of them were standing behind the counter; Sid had gone to see about trying to find the Superintendent of the building in person, because the heat had crapped out again overnight, forcing Kat to give Monty a crash course in furnace repair. Now that they were settled, Kathryn was showing him the finer points of the cash register. "We use a Square POS system. Pretty simple to understand."</p>
<p>"…you use a piece of sh—"</p>
<p>"Don't. Sid'll can ya if they hear you it call you that. Point Of Service." She squinted. "Never run a cash register before?"</p>
<p>"No. You?"</p>
<p>"Been running it since I was twenty…one? Yeah, that's when I dropped out."</p>
<p>The bell over the door rang, and a pair of people walked in. One was a pale man with dark hair that seemed to be standing up in spikes. The other was a woman with dark skin, her hair in braids going down past her waist, with glasses that were big enough that they seemed to magnify her eyes. They sat opposite each other in a far corner of the establishment, with the man pulling out a laptop, his back to the wall. Kat rolled her eyes, and called over, "Hey, if you're going to work on your magnum opus in here, you could at least buy a coffee."</p>
<p>The man stared at her, eyes wide. He sighed, stood, and came up to the counter, taking out his wallet. "Two coffees, one with cream, one without."</p>
<p>"Hot or iced?" Monty asked.</p>
<p>"Hot. It's -3 centigrade outside." The man muttered something. "<em>Co to za idiotyczne pytanie?</em>"</p>
<p>"<em>Jeśli chcesz być dupkiem, to płacisz podwójnie.</em>" Kathryn said.</p>
<p>The man blinked. "You… speak Polish?"</p>
<p>"…no," Kathryn said, shrinking into herself. "I don't."</p>
<p>There was an awkward pause, before Monty coughed. "Uh, two coffees, that'll be $6.50."</p>
<p>"You didn't use the POS," Kat frowned.</p>
<p>"I memorized the prices on the board."</p>
<p>Kat rolled her eyes, and walked Monty through putting it into the actual register. It took about six minutes, but preparing the drinks only took an additional two.</p>
<p>"<em>Dziękuję</em>," the rude customer said, before returning back to his seat. The dark-skinned woman had a look of intense concentration on her face.</p>
<p>"She looks like she has a migraine," Monty frowned, before he turned to Kat. "You don't speak Polish? Bull."</p>
<p>"Never have," Kat frowned. "I guess I picked up a bit before I dropped out. Wasn't hard to tell he was calling you an idiot, anyway."</p>
<p>"I have a degree," he sighed. "I'm just… I need this to get back on my feet, you know?"</p>
<p>"What's the degree in?"</p>
<p>"Thaumatology. Study of magic." Reynolds blinked. "That's… not really something I should be telling you, I think?"</p>
<p>"How can you study magic? It's not real." Kat wrinkled her nose. "Like, I liked <em>Bedknobs and Broomsticks</em> as much as any other kid, but magic doesn't exist."</p>
<p>"The cultural practices that people <em>think</em> are magic do."</p>
<p>"Oh." Kat wrinkled her nose. "So it's a subset of anthropology?"</p>
<p>"I suppose you could think of it as that." Monty looked at the clock on the wall. "Shouldn't Sidney be back by now?"</p>
<p>"Traffic's been weird lately. Who knows."</p>
<p>"What kind of car does he drive?"</p>
<p>"They go by they. I know, it's weird for me, too."</p>
<p>"All right. What kind of car do <em>they</em> drive, then?"</p>
<p>"They…" Kat blinked at the question. "I… huh."</p>
<p>"What?"</p>
<p>"I've worked for them for over twenty years and I can't tell you that." Kathryn scratched her head. "I mean, they don't have a SEPTA pass, so they <em>have</em> to drive. That's basically the only way to get around this part of the city. I…" Kat frowned. "They don't own the building, they can't. Why would they need to talk to the Super?"</p>
<p>Reynolds stared at her. "…Kathryn, twenty years? Are you sure? Are you <em>absolutely</em> positive?"</p>
<p>"Yeah. I started working here when I was twenty-one, after I dropped out. Why?"</p>
<p>"Then I have to ask what kind of moisturizer he— <em>they</em> use, because I'll be damned if Sidney's a day over thirty."</p>
<p>Kathryn breathed in deeply. She knew the onset of a panic attack when she felt it. One thing she could taste: the filling in her back tooth. Two things she could smell: the coffee and… Monty smelled very nice for some reason. Three she could touch: the EVE in the air, the coffee milk sitting out, that stupid BARI-STAR machine that always broke. Four she could—</p>
<p>Her eyes landed on the two in the corner. The woman was muttering something to herself, just under her breath, while the man was on his laptop, typing away frantically but muttering in concert. She recognized him from another life, one that wasn't, that <em>couldn't</em>, be hers. "…Daniel?" She asked. "Dr. Asheworth?"</p>
<p>Asheworth's eyes met hers, recognition crossing his face. "Keep at it, Udo," he said, crossing the distance. "Doctor Sinclair, you recognize me?"</p>
<p>"I… maybe? I'm not a doctor, though. But I…" her vision swam, before fading to—</p>
<p><em>white was an awful color for a wedding dress, she had decided. It went with everything, but it also showed</em> every <em>single stain and speck of dust. Pink wasn't her color either, and black was too funereal, so Sinclair decided on a lilac blue dress. And now, as she got ready to enter the chapel at St. John's Church in downtown Sloth's Pit, a chill ran through her.</em></p>
<p><em>What was she doing? She was too old to start a family. If she had a child, they could have all sorts of complications at her age. And her husband-to-be… she'd read horror stories about women marrying older men, about how they always fell out of love, how the younger bride would have to care for the elderly groom when he got senile, and…</em></p>
<p><em>"Catastrophizing again, are we?"</em></p>
<p><em>Sinclair looked up, her eyes widening as she saw—</em></p>
<p>she was outside, in the cold, coughing. There was a firefighter holding an oxygen mask over her face, and smoke was pouring out of the front of the cafe. "I'm fine," she insisted, sitting up and brushing away the fireman. Her job had just gone up in flames. "What the fuck happened?!"</p>
<p>Sidney was there, talking with Monty, who was talking with a cop. Kat made her way over to them. "What the hell happened?"</p>
<p>"Some idiot's laptop caught fire," Sid sighed. "Monty saw the whole thing. Kat, I'm afraid to say, but we're going to be closed for a bit."</p>
<p>"Dammit…" she groaned. "Fuck, can I at least get paid for the rest of the day? My rent's due soon."</p>
<p>"'course."</p>
<p>"I feel awful," Monty said as the cop snapped their notepad shut and stepped away. "Maybe I could've asked them who the fuck they were, to leave their laptop smoldering like that? You think this was intentional?"</p>
<p>"Shitty accident. Super'll be by to inspect the building, and I've got insurance to cover the fire damage." Sid groaned, looking down. They kicked some snow off of their boots. "It's not supposed to go like this, god dammit all."</p>
<p>"Hey, look on the bright side," Kat said. "Maybe those new signs'll come in by the time you're done?"</p>
<p>"At this rate?" Sidney snorted. "I'll be surprised if I don't end up in the slammer."</p>
<p>"…what have you done wrong?" Monty wrinkled his nose.</p>
<p>"I got a history, and I don't want the feds lookin' too close into this. Fuckin' skippers…"</p>
<p>"They didn't skip out, though?" Kat said. "Like, I remember the Polish dude paying for his coffee…"</p>
<p>"Just… take the rest of the day off, you two." Sidney said. "Do what you like. I gotta look over the damage." They stepped into the cafe, and let out an "You've gotta be <em>fucking—</em>" before they devolved into incoherency.</p>
<p>"…now what?" Kat frowned.</p>
<p>"Well…. this might be a bit weird to ask but… you wanna meet my kid?" Monty asked. "She might like you. You kinda look like her mom."</p>
<p><em>Ever hear of a rebound, jackass?</em> Kat thought. But he seemed nice enough, and he was handsome, so… "All right. Lay on, MacDuff."</p>
<p>Something strange happened on the way to Montgomery's apartment; they took the same line of the SEPTA Metro that Kat did. They got off at the same stop that Kat did. And by the time that they were in front of the building and Reynolds was looking for his key to buzz himself in, Kathryn was fully spooked. "Is this a joke?"</p>
<p>"What?" Reynolds frowned.</p>
<p>Kathryn pulled out her own key and used the fob to unlock the front door, holding it open.</p>
<p>Reynolds stood there, stunned. "What… unit do you live in?"</p>
<p>"78. You?"</p>
<p>"87."</p>
<p>"Fuck, you're a floor above me." Sinclair sighed. "This day's been weird. Let's just… let's say hi to your kid. What was her name?"</p>
<p>"Phoenix. Her mother insisted on it."</p>
<p>"Sounds like a hippy-dippy type," Kat said. "That why you broke it off with her?"</p>
<p>"…she left me," Monty said, no small measure of pain in his voice. He entered the building, and Kathryn followed after.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, interviews were being conducted.</p>

<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Rsr. Claire Sage, Site-87 Head Archivist</p>
<p><strong>Subject:</strong> <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/etdp-hub-page">Mary-Ann Lewitt</a>, retired member of Horizon Initiative Shepherd Corps, Chapterhouse 3. Lewitt frequented a previous iteration of SCP-8787 following Incident 089-D.</p>
<hr/>
<p><<strong>Begin Log</strong>></p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> I appreciate you taking time out of your day for this.</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> I mean, I'm genuinely curious what the Foundation thinks is anomalous about the coffee shop that served the second-best breakfast burritos I've ever had.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Well… to be frank, we believe that it kidnaps people and forces them to act as staff. And that it… well, makes them… be in relationships.</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> …what?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> I know that sounds a bit goofy, but…</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> Is it actively causing the end of the world?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> It kidnapped a researcher, who hasn't seen her daughter in well over a year. And now it's done the same to her husband. We think it's a reality bender, maybe something more powerful.</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> Welp. You certainly know how to push my buttons. Always thought Sid was a bit weird, but they were at least polite to me and Salah.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup> A lot of places gave Salah the stink-eye because he's Pakistani. But Sid always liked us.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Sid being… the owner?</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> I think their last name was Charmer? Probably doesn't give you anything to go off of if he's a local power.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup> They're really an anomaly?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Afraid so. Did you notice anything odd when you interacted with him or his staff?</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> You're barking up the wrong tree here. I don't generally pay attention to anomalous events because I don't think they should all be locked up in a supermax prison. That said… they did close pretty abruptly.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Oh?</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> Yeah. They said that two of his employees had run away and gotten married, leaving them understaffed. So they just… closed up. I'd say that's pretty weird. Where are they now?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Philadelphia. That's where this researcher originally grew up, so we think it took her to somewhere familiar.</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> Hmm. This researcher, what was she like before?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> She's a thaumaturge. Type-Blue in GOC terms. She was getting pretty stressed before she vanished. Part of it was likely post-partum depression, and… well, we think that this anomaly might only take people who <em>want</em> to be taken in. You didn't notice any anomaly related to it?</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> Well… there might have been something. After Salah and I resigned from the Initiative to care for Naomi<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-9" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-9')">9</a></sup> we were tight on money for a bit. Sid let me start a tab at their place, never expected me to pay it off, and that was our breakfast for a couple of months. They offered me and Salah jobs there, and… I almost took them up on it. I <em>wanted</em> to take them up on it. Like, I worked at the first Starbucks in Pittsburgh when I was sixteen and I hated it, but I wanted to take them up on the offer, just so there would be a little less stress in our lives. You know? Then Salah got a job as a professor at U.P.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-10" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-10')">10</a></sup> and we didn't need it.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> How is your daughter doing, by the way? I read the file on what happened, with—</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> She's the smartest kid in the world. Probably going to end up saving it some day. Anything else?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> One last thing, because I'm genuinely curious: where was the <em>best</em> breakfast burrito you've ever had, if this was only the second-best?</p>
<p><strong>Lewitt:</strong> That, I'm afraid, will remain a secret.</p>

<p><<strong>Begin Log</strong>></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Have a seat, Iris.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> The fact that you're calling me by my name is concerning…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> I'd just like to discuss something with you. SCP-8787 has popped back up.</p>
<p><em>SCP-105 laughs.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Fuck me, that was a nightmare. Who got caught up in it this time?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Two members of the Foundation partially responsible for ending 6500.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Ones who don't have memetic conditioning?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Some of our people tried thaumic means to snap them out of it, but… it's smarter than we think. Set fire to itself just so we couldn't get to them as easily.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Okay, what do you want to know?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> What do you remember about 8787?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Well, after Able broke out and made the transport crash, I was positive we were going to die. I remember praying for someone, <em>anyone</em> to save us… and then the next thing I know, I'm waking up in an apartment in Ohio, that, by all accounts, is where I've been living since I dropped out. I looked at the clock and realized I was late for a job interview. Ran down to the Water Street Cafe, and… well, the whole crew was already there.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Including 076-2?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Yeah. Customers couldn't stop staring at his tattoos. It's a wonder we weren't found out sooner. But I got hired, and… in all honesty, I kinda liked working there. I didn't know anything else, granted, but… is anything I say going in my file?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> It's going in 8787's file.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> …it was fun, working there. Everyone says that working in a coffee shop is the worst thing you can do, and we had some asshole customers, sure, but… I had friends there. And I had… well…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> You had 076-2?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Yeah. Without the whole… without his anomaly, he's honestly really… he's not a bad person. Something happened to him to make him the way he is now, and… he doesn't want to be like that. He was actually <em>happy</em>. And that just… got taken from him.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> If he was happy, then… why did he self-terminate once the code phrase was spoken?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Because he knew that… what we had wasn't real. It was fucking Sidney messing around with our heads. But… if they had asked first, asked 'hey, how would you feel being together for a little bit'? Maybe… maybe he wouldn't have.</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> You know how long it's been since I've seen him? Since before Alpha-9 was a thing. I… I want to apologize to him, if I can. Maybe… I don't know, maybe we'd be…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Iris, I don't think that'd be a good idea.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> …he's dead, isn't he?</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> The Impasse. It killed him, didn't it?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> That's…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-105:</strong> Classified? God dammit, Django! Why can't you tell me? We worked together! We… he was…</p>

<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. Ilse Reynders</p>
<p><strong>Subject:</strong> Dr. Justine Everwood. Dr. Everwood unknowingly entered a previous manifestation of SCP-8787 located in Boston in January of 2019.</p>
<hr/>
<p><<strong>Begin Log</strong>></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> Thank you for agreeing to meet on such short notice, Dr. Everwood.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> Call me Jay. But… 8787, really? Damn thing keeps popping up in my life.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> Let's start from the top. How did you end up in 8787?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> I was supposed to be meeting with an informant from a cell of SAPPHIRE that was behind that incident at Trinity Church in August 2018.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> You mean the theft of—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> Hey, that's classified. Anyway, they named the time and place. I'd never heard of it before, 'Lit Lattes'. Did they even use 'lit' back in 2019? Anyway, I got there along with Rex — Rex Alces, my research assistant — and… something was up.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> How so?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> My informant was this guy who went by Marcel Lupin — I doubt that was his real name. We waited there for half an hour for him… and then Rex looks over the counter, and realizes that he's working behind it. I figured, 'Okay, atheist terrorists need a day job, maybe he just hasn't realized we've come in yet'. I go up to him, and he acts like he doesn't know me. But you know what tipped me off to the weird bullshit going in?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> Lupin was wearing a pentacle necklace. Unless he was trying to infiltrate a religious institution, SAPPHIRE would have put a bullet in his skull, accused him of having 'found faith'. But he was just standing there making a latte!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> What did you do?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> Well, I looked at the Employee of the Month photos, had Rex analyze them, and… they were all there. <em>Every</em> member of the SAPPHIRE cell we were tracking. We did a bit of recon after that, and they didn't even know what SAPPHIRE <em>was</em>. Three of them went to <em>church</em>. I didn't know what to make of it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> How would you characterize SAPPHIRE? The individual members, I mean.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> Honestly, must be fucking <em>miserable</em> to be part of it. They go on and on about logic and reason and how everything anomalous must be understood and used to fight against the erosion of society, but they use anomalies that, by definition, defy logic and reason. That's a staggering amount of DoubleThink that I don't even think Big Brother would find sustainable.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> What happened to this manifestation of 8787?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> It just vanished one day. Mid-February, must've been? We were still keeping tabs on the ex-SAPPHIRE members, and… they didn't revert. They seemed to remember, but they seemed happier now that they were… deprogrammed, I guess it was the right word? The object they stole was returned to Trinity Church anonymously at the end of February.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> So… they changed because of what happened in SCP-8787.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> Reminded me of a Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote. "What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it." They remembered how they were better people without SAPPHIRE in their lives, and grew past it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> And there was no retaliation from SAPPHIRE as a whole?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> Last I checked on them, they were all still alive. SAPPHIRE doesn't take kindly to traitors or deserters, so… not sure what to make of it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> One final thing: did you ever make visual contact with the entity that's operating SCP-8787?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> Yes, but… not in 8787 itself.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Everwood sighs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> …during the Impasse, I remembered how I lost my arm. That put me into a fugue state. I wandered around the city for a couple of hours and ended up in a bar near Bunker Hill, too scared to think straight. When I looked behind the bar, SCP-8787-A was behind it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> It has been theorized that SCP-8787 previously took the form of a bar or a public house before Prohibition…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> It wasn't anything like that. The bar's ancient, early 1800s, and it's still there now. But they saw me come in, poured me a cocktail that I wish I had gotten a recipe for, and…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> Hmm?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Everwood:</strong> They told me 'It's going to be okay'. I still don't know what they meant, but… I calmed down, finished the cocktail, and left. By the time I got out, I'd forgotten what happened to my arm again, and haven't remembered since.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> Thank you, Jay. That will be all.</p>

<h2 id="toc3"><span>Requested Revision to the SCP-8787 File</span></h2>
<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8787</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Keter</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Physical containment of SCP-8787 is currently believed to be impossible. Instead, containment efforts are to take the form of information suppression and, in the event that members of the Foundation become SCP-8787-B instances, personnel recovery.</p>
<p>At no point is SCP-8787-A to be engaged in direct combat. Doing so in the past has proved detrimental to local reality in the short term, and it is currently unknown what the full extent of SCP-8787-A's ontokinesis is. They are to be treated as a potential Type Black threat until further information on them can be gained.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8787 refers to an anomalous construct which resembles an American cafe or coffee house. The current manifestation of SCP-8787 takes the form of 'Sid's Coffee Place', a cafe located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>SCP-8787-A is an anomalous humanoid which operates SCP-8787; the only consistent descriptor of their appearance is their green hair. SCP-8787-A is capable of wide-scale reality alterations. SCP-8787-A can both rewrite human memory and alter causality in order to turn human beings, both with and without anomalous capabilities, into SCP-8787-B instances.</p>
<p>SCP-8787-B instances are individuals that have been altered, both cognitively and chronologically, to believe that they are employees at SCP-8787. All SCP-8787-B instances appear to share a singular psychological factor: at the time of their cognitive alteration, they were experiencing some form of depressive episode or existential crisis. It has been theorized that this mental state causes SCP-8787-B instances to consent to their cognitive alteration, as the alternative in the short-term is a continual decline of mental health.</p>
<p>SCP-8787 was first discovered in Boston, Massachusetts in 1947, following a string of disappearances. The Foundation's attempts to contain it, and rescue the SCP-8787-B instances within, led to the destruction of the concept of Scollay Square on a semantic level, necessitating its demolition and redevelopment. However, it is believed that SCP-8787 has existed in some form since at least the 1700s, but was changed into its current state during the Prohibition of Alcohol in the United States from 1920 to 1933.</p>
<p>SCP-8787 has had several interactions with the Foundation in the past; in 2008, it used its anomalous properties to alter a squad of Mobile Task Force Omega-7 into SCP-8787-B instances, including two humanoid SCP objects.</p>
<p>As of January 2024, two SCP-8787-B instances exist; these consist of Dr. Katherine Sinclair and her husband, Researcher Montgomery Reynolds. Dr. Sinclair went missing in August of 2022, following an episode of post-partum depression. Reynolds was affected by the anomaly upon encountering Dr. Sinclair after over a year of separation; neither seem aware of their previous marital status. Current containment efforts are focusing on the retrieval of these members of personnel by any means necessary.</p>
<p>Further encounters with SCP-8787 can be found in Addendum 8787-03.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum: Deliberation RE: Current Containment of SCP-8787:</strong></p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Date:</strong> January 25th, 2024</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> Urban Site-56, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; site of the annual Foundation inter-disciplinary symposium.</p>
<p><strong>In Attendance:</strong> Rsr. Claire Sage, Head Archivist, Site-87; Dr. Django Bridge, Archivist, Site-17; Dr. Daniel Asheworth, Director, Site-120; Dr. Udo Okorie, Thaumaturge, Site-43; Dr. Ilse Reynders, Acroamatic Abatement, Site-43.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> All right, based on the information we've managed to glean, I've submitted an updated draft for 8787. It just needs to be rubber-stamped.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I am slightly… what's the term? Bugged by something.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Do tell.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Prior to this, 8787 seemed to be… well, not quite infallible, but harder to crack. Sinclair recognized me when she saw me. Based on surveillance of her and Reynolds' building, we think that something's wrong with 8787.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Wrong in the sense that it doesn't seem entirely whole. Weaker, almost.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> I'm a tad troubled by Dr. Everwood's testimony, as well. 8787-A appearing outside of 8787 during the Impasse…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Maybe it regained its anomalous properties after it ended, but not to full capacity?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> We haven't had any record of biological anomalies doing that. Most of them just died.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> You're assuming 8787-A is the core component to this, and not 8787 itself. For all we know, 8787-A is an unwilling participant in all of this.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Bit of a conclusion to jump to.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> He… might have a point.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> You're seriously considering that theory, Udo? I thought you were joking.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> What theory?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Who here is familiar with the concept of 'fan fiction'?</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> I wrote some when I was like, fifteen, but… nothing since. Don't see what it has to do with—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> I have a niece, Onyeka, who is <em>very</em> enthusiastic about this Disney show. <em>The Cowl House</em> or <em>The Owl Shack</em> or something. She's written a very specific type of fan fiction about it, where…</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Sage, why are you giving me the stink eye?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Because if this <em>is</em> a pataphysical anomaly, I owe Dr. McDoctorate fifty dollars.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Wait, he only bet you <em>fifty?</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> I'm not sure it is pataphysical, but… there's apparently a trope in fanfiction, one that I've read several dozen times at her request, where the characters from a work have the same basic personalities, but… they all work or go to a coffee shop. The two main romantic objects will typically be on opposite sides of the counter, is the thing— one a barista, one a customer. This seems to make <em>everyone</em> into workers, which… doesn't seem to fit in with the trope.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> This thing <em>predates</em> the concept of fanfiction.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> It predates this particular trope. But this is, I think, the best way we can contextualize it. It's a coffee shop that makes people believe they've always worked there. Maybe it draws information from alternate realities where that <em>is</em> the case.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> What about the thaumic analysis you tried to conduct?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Got interrupted when our <em>fire-proof</em> Foundation-issue laptop exploded into flames. I wasn't able to glean much. Asheworth?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I… had to double-check the analysis, but… I found something odd. The current iteration of SCP-8787 utilizes the Frontispiece in its name, and that might be part of the reason why the effect around Sinclair seems to be failing.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> I don't follow.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I believe that 8787 is attempting to utilize the anomalous effects of the Frontispiece as an improvised battery, and… it's not designed to do that. But it's a thaumic anomaly that affects the entirety of the human psyche, so it's giving 8787 <em>some</em> juice, but it's not enough to sustain it. Sage, pull down the screen, I need to show some data.</p>
<p><em>Sage pulls down the projector screen, and Asheworth plugs his phone into the projector.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> This is the building where Sinclair and Reynolds both reside, one floor apart from each other. As near as we can tell, apart from the landlord, they are the <em>only</em> residents. Insurance records that SCP-8787-A provided to the Engine Company that responded to the fire indicates that <em>every</em> piece of equipment in there more complex than the hinges on the door has the same serial number: SCP-8787. There's been maybe twenty or thirty customers in a day, in one of the busiest parts of Philadelphia, since Wettle walked in. It's like it's not functioning at full capacity.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> So we've got a Keter-class on the fritz. What does that mean?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> I'm not sure, but… given what happened when we first discovered it, I'm not sure it means anything good. We could be looking at a potential Code Quiet in the next seventy-two hours. Spontaneous, destructive neutralization of an anomaly. Basically what happened to everything that was affected by the Impasse.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> Meaning we need to attempt to establish containment now.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> It means we needed to establish containment <em>five days ago</em>. Let's get the City Slickers out here before anything else happens.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> They're dealing with an outbreak of urban blight in Minneapolis. Psi-7 might be available. I just hope we're not too late.</p>

<div class="outside">
<p>Apartment 87 was quaint and cozy. Monty said hello to the babysitter when he got up there, apologized for returning too early, and paid her the full amount. "Have you been able to stop her from crying?" Monty asked.</p>
<p>"No, I'm sorry," the babysitter replied. "Are you sure you can't get into contact with her mother?"</p>
<p>"I'm positive," Monty said, looking downcast. "I haven't seen her in over a year."</p>
<p>The babysitter nodded sympathetically, and patted Reynolds on the arm, before heading out. Kathryn frowned as she left. "…Monty? Can you do something for me?"</p>
<p>"What?"</p>
<p>"Describe the woman who just left."</p>
<p>Monty opened his mouth, shut it, frowned, and opened it again. "She… well, she lives a few floors down. Blonde hair, green eyes, has a scar on her…" he paused. "No, wait. That's… what's happening here?"</p>
<p>"We've had a long day. Our jobs have burned down. Can I meet your kid?"</p>
<p>Monty took Kathryn into a room that he had made into a makeshift nursery. It was covered with glow-in-the-dark stars to replace the ones that couldn't be seen with the light pollution, and was painted a deep, royal shade of purple. The crib that still served as her bed was made of oak, and within it was a child that had worn herself out from wailing.</p>
<p>She had sepia-colored skin and curly hair that, while short, was in a startlingly familiar shade of red. She was wearing a green onesie, a red, plush dragon-like creature at her side. Kathryn walked over to the crib, and with each step, she found it harder to move forward. Mere inches from the edge of the child's bed, she stopped completely, her heart in her throat.</p>
<p>"…Katherine?" Monty asked. He had said her name wrong. "Is something wrong?"</p>
<p>"Why does she have my hair?" The question came out in a rasping whisper. "Why does… why can't I…" She rested her hand on the edge of the crib, the motion rocking it. Startled, she stepped back.</p>
<p>Phoenix looked up, bleary-eyed, and burbled briefly, before standing up. She looked Kathryn dead in the eyes, and asked, "Mama?"</p>
<p>"…no." Kathryn said. "I wouldn't… I wouldn't be a good mother. I… sorry, kiddo. I'm not your—"</p>
<p><em>—mother's been picked up by the police again," Richard Sinclair told his daughter. They had been woken up by another phone call at 4:00 AM on a school night. "I'm going to go pick her up. Kiddo, you… you just try sleeping, okay? You got school tomorrow."</em></p>
<p><em>"Is mom going to have to go back to Pennhurst?" Katherine asked.</em></p>
<p><em>"Pennhurst got shut down a few years ago, honey. We… don't know</em> where <em>she's going to go this time. But… from the sound of it, she hurt someone again."</em></p>
<p><em>Katherine Sinclair held onto her favorite soft toy, a white tiger named Snowball that her grandmother had given her. "Am I going to be like that when I'm a mom, dad?"</em></p>
<p><em>Richard Sinclair gripped the siding on the doorway hard enough that his nails dug into it. "I don't know, Kat. I don't think so. You… don't have the problems she has. With any luck, you never will."</em></p>
<p>Kathryn found her fingers pinned under the incomparable strength of an insistent toddler's hand. Phoenix's other hand was reaching out, as if she was expecting Kathryn to pick her up. "Why does she have my hair?" she asked, eyes filling with tears. "Why does she have <em>my eyes?</em>"</p>
<p>"She can't…" Monty said. "Her mother… she ran away from us years ago and…"</p>
<p>"What was her name?" Kathryn asked, barely able to hold back tears.</p>
<p>Monty didn't respond.</p>
<p>"What was your wife's <em>name?</em>"</p>
<p>"…I can't remember." Kat didn't need to look to know that he was crying too. "Something's wrong. Something…. something's happened to me. To <em>us</em>."</p>
<p>Katherine Sinclair obeyed the inviolable command of her daughter and picked her up, holding her close. Something was at the edge of her mind, a block of some form, preventing her from remembering anything else. "…Monty?" she asked, turning towards the man. "What… what happened to me?"</p>
<p>The man she now knew was her husband took several gasping breaths, put his hand over his mouth, unable to stem the tears. For the first time in over a year, they were a family again, but… they weren't whole. He carefully held onto his wife, who held onto their child, and all but little Phoenix, who wasn't quite old enough to understand anything about the world, couldn't contain their emotions. There was joy, there was grief, there was anger… but that anger was directed inwards.</p>
<p>"I just… I'm sorry I got so… so mad." Katherine said. "I couldn't handle it. I couldn't <em>sleep</em>. I just… I just wanted one night to myself. I was going to come back! And then… I crashed my car and… and then…"</p>
<p>"I should have done more. I… I left so much to you. I didn't… I was scared." Reynolds touched his greying hair. "I'm <em>old</em>, Katherine. I don't… I don't want her to spend the most important years of her life without… without a father. I don't want to die before she's started to live. I was scared. I still am."</p>
<p>"Mama?" Phoenix asked again.</p>
<p>"…yeah, kiddo." Sinclair held onto her daughter. "Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't remember. I'm…" she sobbed. "How did we forget, Monty? You… you looked like you recognized me, the other day. You looked like you were starting to… to break down."</p>
<p>"I was. And then… Sidney came in and…" he paused. "How long have you known Sidney for?"</p>
<p>"…I don't know. My mind says twenty years, but… that <em>can't</em> be right. I didn't drop out. I… I got my doctorate… I… I…" She winced. "There's something in the way, still. I remember you, but I don't remember <em>how</em> I know you."</p>
<p>Reynolds reached out to squeeze her hand, and Katherine—</p>
<p><em>groaned. "Director Weiss, you can't be serious."</em></p>
<p><em>"You've wanted a lab assistant for years, Researcher Sinclair."</em></p>
<p><em>"I was hoping I could get someone from Sigma-3. This guy is ex-GOC?"</em></p>
<p><em>"Technically. He was found as part of their Sunspotting program. Their attempt to search for, and recruit, Type-Blues." Nina Weiss sat with her hands folded. "He's probably down in the lab right now, getting set up."</em></p>
<p><em>"The GOC see everything as a nail, and thaumaturgy is the ultimate hammer. I'm not going to be partnered with some militaristic asshole for the next five years."</em></p>
<p><em>"Mr. Reynolds actually has more training in alchemy than anything. All I'm asking is that you give him a chance, Katherine. Who knows? He might be able to help you earn your doctorate."</em></p>
<p><em>Sinclair stood and rolled her shoulders. "Okay, fine. I'll give it a chance." She exited the office, a sour expression on her face the whole elevator ride down to Sublevel 5. When she found herself in front of the door to the Thaumaturgy & Occult Studies lab, she expected to walk in and find a complete disaster area as a result of some inexperienced mage poking around at the wards.</em></p>
<p><em>Instead, she walked in to find a man in his late thirties with dark skin, his hair styled in dreadlocks, wearing a pass on a lanyard around his neck, writing items down on a clipboard. He had a pair of squarish glasses on, and was muttering to himself as he took notes. Katherine had to clear her throat three times before he noticed her presence.</em></p>
<p><em>He turned to face her, and was stunned silent for a moment, before he said, "You… must be Katherine."</em></p>
<p><em>"That's Researcher Sinclair to you. What are you doing?"</em></p>
<p><em>He held up the clipboard. "I'm taking inventory. I noticed a few discrepancies, and I wanted to make sure you didn't have something like Jeremiah's Multiplicative Grimoire interfering with your supplies."</em></p>
<p><em>Sinclair crossed over and looked at the clipboard, frowning. "I've… been meaning to do that," she admitted. "But this place has been so under-funded since Dr. Euler left." She looked over the list, her eyebrows climbing up her head. "Wait, where did you find my copy of Trans-Neptunian Magic? I've been looking for that for six months!"</em></p>
<p><em>"I brought my own copy. Integrated it into the collection. Do you mind?"</em></p>
<p><em>"…no," Sinclair said. "Sorry, I didn't catch your name."</em></p>
<p><em>"Montgomery Reynolds. My friends call me Monty."</em></p>
<p><em>"Well, Mr. Reynolds, let me give you the tour. Over here we have the testing chamber…"</em></p>
<p>"You saw that, too, didn't you?" Monty asked. "That flash. Of our old lives."</p>
<p>"It's Sid, isn't it?" Katherine worried her lip. "They're doing this to us. We… we have to do something."</p>
<p>"I'm not leaving Phoenix here alone," Reynolds said. "I can't even be sure the babysitter I left her with is <em>real</em>. We need—"</p>
<p>There was a knock on the front door of the apartment. They went and opened it after the knocking grew more insistent, and found a woman standing out there, with a black fedora, a leather jacket, and dark-colored jeans. Katherine recognized her immediately. "Alison? What are you doing here?"</p>
<p>"If you can still remember me, there's something <em>very</em> wrong," she sighed. "You literally are <em>not</em> supposed to be able to perceive me."</p>
<p>"You…" Reynolds frowned. "Wait, no. You're… dead, aren't you? Or… <em>something</em> happened to you. Why can we only just now…"</p>
<p>"My mortal status is up for debate," Alison sighed, her eyes turning towards the toddler Sinclair was carrying. "But for right now, I'm Nobody but a babysitter, if that's what you need."</p>
<p>"Are you sure?" Reynolds asked.</p>
<p>"Trust me, this is easy compared to what I've been doing for the last three years." Alison Carol stepped inside, putting her hat on the coat rack by the door. "Go out there and set things right."</p>
<p>The two of them nodded, took up their own coats, and headed back down through the largely empty building, onto the metro, back towards downtown.</p>
<hr/>
<p>The fire had done a number on Sid's Coffee Place. Part of the wall had burned down, revealing the wooden struts beneath. Three tables had been reduced to charcoal, and the smell of smoke permeated the structure. Yellow caution tape was in front of the door; Katherine and Monty ducked under it. "You think they're here?" Katherine asked.</p>
<p>"I'm not sure they can leave," Monty said. "I'm remembering some more things. I think they're linked to this place."</p>
<p>On cue, Sidney rose from behind the counter, as if an elevator was taking them up to ground level. They regarded Sinclair and Reynolds with no small measure of sadness in their eyes. "I suppose I'm rumbled, then."</p>
<p>Sinclair marched up to the owner of the coffee shop, grabbed them by the shirt collar, and tried punching them across the face. The instant she swung, her grip was vacant, and she was holding thin air. "What the <em>fuck</em> are you?"</p>
<p>"Is that what you want to know?" Sidney was now sitting by the window. "What answer would make sense to you? I'm a <a href="/scp-7006">fourth absolute</a>? I'm <a href="/scp-6000">a manifestation of the Serpent</a>? I'm <a href="/scp-5500">a Swann entity that's been forced into a lower narrative layer</a>? Maybe I'm God! Maybe I'm <a href="/scp-4000">one of the Nameless</a>! Maybe I'm <a href="/scp-3001">from the void between realities</a>!"</p>
<p>"How are you doing that with your voice?" Reynolds asked, looking around for anything that could be used as a weapon.</p>
<p>"It doesn't matter. <em>None</em> of this fucking matters. It hasn't mattered in a <em>long</em> fucking time." Sidney sighed. "I can't give you an answer as to what I am. Because I don't know at this point."</p>
<p>"…how long has this been going on?" Sinclair asked, balling her fist. "How long have you been abducting people and forcing them to—"</p>
<p>Sidney made a 'bzzt' noise. "Wrong question. I'm not doing jack shit. Have either of you ever actually seen me <em>leave</em> this place?"</p>
<p>"…to get milk…" Sinclair said.</p>
<p>Sidney waved their hand, and the store was inundated by hundreds of gallons of milk of all flavors, in both cartons and bottles. "I can make it so I can't be perceived for a little bit. But I'm more stuck here than you, or <em>anyone</em> else that's been trapped here, ever has been." They groaned, a cup of coffee appearing in their hand. "At least back before Prohibition, I ran a goddamn pub and could get drunk to forget what I've been put in. I can't even do that anymore."</p>
<p>"We saw you outside after the fire…" Reynolds said.</p>
<p>"Domain extends a bit onto the sidewalk. Not far, only up to the curb." They sipped at their drink. "And then, a few years ago, the <em>greatest thing in the fucking world</em> happened: I was free! The Impasse happened! Magic had gone belly-up, and with it, this place! I could go out of it for the first time since… fuck, the Fifth Occult War, I think?" They chuckled, the sound lacking any mirth. "This place was a bar in France, back then. It only came to America after the Civil War ended."</p>
<p>"What's… the Impasse?" Reynolds asked.</p>
<p>"Oh, you don't— fuck, it really <em>is</em> on the fritz. Hold on." Sidney waved their hand and the pair of them reeled backwards.</p>
<p><em>"Catastrophizing again, are we?"</em></p>
<p><em>Sinclair looked up, eyes widening as she saw Monty, clad in an expensive tuxedo that, after today, he would likely never wear again. She turned away, face flush. "Bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony, hon."</em></p>
<p><em>"I… well, I'm… I had trouble going in. I…" Monty paused. "It's not cold feet. I just…" He looked around. "I take it your father couldn't make it, then?"</em></p>
<p><em>"He tried," Sinclair shook her head. "He really did. Got as far as the bar in the terminal."</em></p>
<p><em>"I'm sorry."</em></p>
<p><em>"To hell with him." She turned to face her husband-to-be. "My mother's been out of my life for almost thirty years. Dad's been a lush for the better part of twenty. But… it's going to be awkward, walking down the aisle alone."</em></p>
<p><em>Reynolds said nothing, and just extended his hand. Katherine took it, and knocked on the door to the chapel proper. It opened, and a few minutes later, lengthy vows were exchanged, which ended in mutual 'I do's.</em></p>
<p>"There," Sidney said as their memories reeled back into focus. "You're welcome."</p>
<p>Sinclair was nauseated by the migraine resulting from the sudden flood of knowledge. Reynolds grabbed her as she started to fall, keeping her upright. "So, the Impasse… neutralized this place?" he asked.</p>
<p>"Killed it dead," Sidney confirmed. "I ran across the street one day to give someone change they left behind, realized that I <em>could</em> run across the street, closed up shop, moved to Boston, became a barback." They shook their head and chugged their latte. "Then, in October, I woke up and found myself back in here all over again. But it wasn't… right." They waved their hand. "People it pulled in started to remember. Started to break because of it. Couldn't reconcile two different lives, two different sets of memories." They looked at the sign on the window, their hands tracing the capital 'S' in 'Sid's'. "So, I figured, since there was an entire cryptomantic web over reality… maybe I could draw power from it? Revitalize it a little?"</p>
<p>"Why?" Reynolds asked. "Why not let it decay again so you could live a normal life?"</p>
<p>"This place… whatever it is, it's… not cruel. It tries to make people live <em>somewhat</em> decent lives. Or it tried."</p>
<p>Sinclair scoffed. "You— no, this place <em>stole me away from my family</em> for <em>over a year!</em> Monty was heartbroken, and… oh, I don't want to know what… my poor… what did Phoenix go through without me?" She wrung her hands together.</p>
<p>"What I know is this:" Sidney stood and started walking around. "This place draws in people who are at rock bottom, worst time of their life. Maybe they're literally about to die. Maybe they're broke. Maybe they think everyone in the world has given up on them because they were in a manic episode and decided to say several dozen unkind things all at once."</p>
<p>Sidney reappeared behind the counter. "This place gives them somewhere they can be without pain. It gives them what most people want at the end of the day: a decent job that pays well, a roof over their heads, friends to be with, a simple, quiet life without too much drama." Sidney snorted. "Everyone says they want to be in Narnia or Middle-Earth or on the <em>Enterprise</em>. No, the ultimate human fantasy is just… living a life that's not too complicated, where you don't have to worry about the bills, or about whether or not your kids are doing well in school, or about how the whole fucking world is going to Hell in a handbasket, and how the people who have the power to stop it are instead just pushing us closer to the edge." They sighed. "That's what this place gives everyone but me: safety. Comfort. Peace. It's why I'm letting myself be tortured by it— if someone, <em>anyone</em> can… can escape from the bullshit in their lives for even a few days by working here… then it's worth it."</p>
<p>"I think you'd have better luck improving lives outside of the USA," Sinclair pointed out.</p>
<p>"I barely have any control over where this thing ends up. It's sheer dumb luck that we're in your hometown, Katherine. I could just as easily have ended up in Toronto, or Kyiv, or Seoul… I ended up in Gaborone once. Botswana's a pretty nice place." Sidney paced. "Now that I don't have anyone working for me anymore… I'm going to move on. Don't know <em>where</em>, but hopefully I don't run into you guys again."</p>
<p>Reynolds frowned, an idea forming behind his eyes. "Do you know what a Nexus is?"</p>
<p>"This place was in Three Portlands from 1993 to 1997. Of <em>course</em> I know."</p>
<p>"What if we could make SCP-8787 move to one?" he asked. "They're wellsprings of energy, and have a relatively low Hume level. It could restore the power, and… maybe you'd be able to get into the Nexus, at least?"</p>
<p>"Monty…" Sinclair said. "After what this place did to us? You want to <em>help</em> it?"</p>
<p>"This place brought us back together, Katherine." He smiled. "You seem… better, now, than you were a year ago. Stressed, not sleeping… we were all worried about you back at 87."</p>
<p>"…the shop doesn't like being contained," Sidney said. "It wouldn't like being in the Foundation's purview."</p>
<p>"You've got our initialism on your shop," Sinclair pointed out, not unkindly. "It kind of already is."</p>
<p>Sidney thought for a moment, and shook their head. "Well, it's going to be moot, because in about thirty minutes, your guys are going to kick down the door, bust down the windows, and try to contain me. I suggest you get out before then — you've got a family, and I don't want any more blood on my hands."</p>
<p>"That won't happen," Sinclair said. "But… do you <em>really</em> want this to be your life?"</p>
<p>Sidney thought for a moment. "If just <em>one</em> person is made happy by what I do here, by me keeping this thing alive. Then it's going to be worth it."</p>
<p>"Don't be a martyr, Sidney," Sinclair said. "What do <em>you</em> want?"</p>
<p>Sidney swallowed, and then answered, "I… I want to see the world. All of it. I want to be able to sit down in a library and read a book. I want to have a hamburger. I want to go to a movie. I want… I want to live my own life. I…" Their breathing grew shallow, panicked. "I don't want to be here forever."</p>
<p>"What else can you make with your abilities?" Sinclair asked.</p>
<p>"Anything that can be found in a coffee shop, conceivably."</p>
<p>"Does that include chalk?"</p>
<p>The bottles and cartons of milk vanished, and a box of colored sidewalk chalk appeared on the counter. "Need them to update prices on the signs. What are you thinking?"</p>
<p>Sinclair took a piece of chalk, throwing another to her husband. "We're going to try to hijack this place as it moves and get it somewhere where you <em>might</em> be able to leave."</p>
<p>"…what about Phoenix?" Reynolds asked. "She's… going to be here, all alone…"</p>
<p>Sinclair looked at the coffee-shop's prisoner. "Do you have my phone? The one from when I crashed, not the one I have now."</p>
<p>Sidney produced it. "What are you going to do?"</p>
<p>"Phone a friend. A few of them, actually."</p>

<p><strong>Date:</strong> January 26th, 2024</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> Urban Site-56 Strategic Command Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>In Attendance:</strong> Rsr. Claire Sage, Head Archivist, Site-87; Dr. Django Bridge, Archivist, Site-17; Dr. Daniel Asheworth, Director, Site-120; Dr. Udo Okorie, Thaumatologist, Site-43; Dr. Ilse Reynders, Acroamatic Abatement, Site-43.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Psi-7 should be breaching within the next twenty-five minutes.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Think we'll be able to contain it?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> If containing a Keter were as easy as sending in Psycho Psi-7, we wouldn't have a single anomaly breaching, ever.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Let's just hope they don't raze the entire block in the process.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> Does… Psi-7 have a reputation for doing that?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> The Alcatraz Incident wasn't the <em>first</em> time a task force crashed a ship into civilian infrastructure.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> …oh.</p>
<p><em>A phone is heard ringing.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Who the hell is calling? It's past midnight over in Poland… let me take this.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Asheworth stands to exit the room, putting the phone to his ear. As his hand is on the door handle, he stops.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> What? <em>What?!</em></p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> What's going on?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Let me put you on speaker, hold on.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Asheworth puts his phone on the table, turning on the speaker.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> You're live.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Katherine Sinclair:</strong> Hello? Am I presuming this is the group trying to get me out of SCP-8787's grasp?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> Dr. Sinclair?!</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Montgomery Reynolds:</strong> And family.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> You're out from under it. Good. Are you somewhere safe?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Well, that's the thing. From what I understand, this place is going to be hit by the military equivalent of a wrecking ball in less than half an hour, and we're trying to stop that from happening.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> You're still <em>on-site?</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Yes, and we're going to need someone to go and check on our daughter. What we're doing is going to be a massive drain on the power of myself, Monty, and 8787 itself.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> I'll go check on her ASAP. We have your address.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> What are you intending to do, Sinclair?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> We're going to open a Way. Put 8787 in containment using it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> How?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> I was hoping you and Daniel could help on that front, Udo. We're debating between the Pseudo-Alighieri Configuration, or Rania's Gateway.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Mmn, no. The building you're in's over eighty years old. You might end up under the Atlantic if you use the second one.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Trying to do the first one in this Hemisphere will just teleport you to Undervegas. Not a good idea.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> We're a bit strapped for supplies at the moment. If I could open a Maylon Aperture straight to Sloth's Pit, I would, but we don't have enough garnet for that.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> Why use either of them? Why not use a nomenclative link?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> …what? How would…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> You worked at a Site with a Foundation front protected by the Frontispiece— the same one on SCP-8787 at the moment, yes? Why not link the two and move through them that way?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Like how Three Portlands is linked together?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> <em>Exactly</em>, Dr. Bridge. But.. we could risk creating a spatial link to <em>every</em> Foundation site that's under a front if we do that. It would be… I don't know, like Four-Hundred-and-Six Portlands?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> It would cut down on travel expenses…</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> I don't think Site-34 would be happy about having its <em>one</em> unique thing stolen from it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> They still have the talking cat…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Psi-7 will be there in ten minutes. I concur with Reynders. A nomenclative link would be your best option.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> You're familiar with both locations, they're both linked by the Frontispiece, and all it really needs is some energy.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Hold on. Will this put it in <em>proper</em> containment, or…</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> What do you mean?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Doesn't Site-87 have aboveground offices?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> They haven't been used for years. It's mainly just the lobby, and the upper levels are for storage.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Does the magic know that? Does <em>SCP-8787</em> know that?</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> I think you might want to—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Too late, we've already formed a link.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> That quickly?!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> It is the most efficient path of energy, so it's not surprising…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> Kat, if we have to set up passport control at 43, I'm never going to forgive you.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> No promises, Udo.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynolds:</strong> Sid— SCP-8787-A, I suggest you hold onto something, this is going to be rough.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Asheworth's phone emits a screeching sound, before the call disconnects.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> That's… ominous.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> I'm going to check on their daughter. Bridge, you mind driving?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> Do you not have a license?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Sage:</strong> It's suspended. I rear ended the chief of police back in Sloth's Pit.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Bridge:</strong> All right. Come on. Call us if you hear anything further.</p>
<p><em>Bridge and Sage exit. They confirm the well-being of Sinclair and Reynold's daughter, Phoenix Reynolds, within twenty minutes.</em></p>
<p><em>Irrelevant conversation has been excised; after approximately one half hour, Dr. Asheworth's phone rings again.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Sinclair?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Sorry it took so long, my phone got fried by the jump, had to find a landline. So… good news, we <em>didn't</em> create a spatial tunnel to every Foundation site protected by a front organization.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Okorie:</strong> What's the bad news?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> I… think we may have just put one of the only decent cafe's in Sloth's Pit out of business.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Reynders:</strong> How do you mean?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Okay, you know how Wettle used to have that joke about Site-43 having a Tim Horton's in Habitation and Sustenance?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Asheworth:</strong> Oh no…</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> On the bright side… we're home.</p>

<div class="scp-image-caption" style="width:100%;">
<p>The interior of SCP-8787, viewed from Site-87's lobby. Window in background does not correspond to any exterior aperture on Site-87.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8787 is allowed to operate as a cafe and eatery within Site-87's lobby. In the event a non-approved SCP-8787-B instance appears, Site-87 staff are to ascertain their identity, as well as attempt to relocate them outside of the anomaly.</p>
<p>SCP-8787 is to be monitored for spikes in anomalous energy, including EVE, Akiva radiation, and memetic particles such as phonemes. It is currently drawing energy from Nexus-18 to sustain its anomalous properties, but to date, this drain has been negligible.</p>
<p>The former SCP-8787-A instance is considered non-anomalous, but is being monitored by Foundation forces. It has been allowed a level of autonomy under Reintegration Protocols, provided they return to Site-87 at least once every two months.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8787 refers to an anomalous construct resembling an American cafe. Since January of 2024, SCP-8787 has occupied a previously vacant portion of Site-87's ground floor, off the side of the main lobby. Currently, SCP-8787 uses the name "The Roast Not Taken" for its business, which is supported by tax documents it has generated anomalously. Currently, SCP-8787's primary anomaly is the fact that is capable of generating any supplies needed for the continued maintenance of a coffee shop of its size, including foodstuffs, drinks, cleaning solutions, tools needed to conduct repairs, and paychecks.</p>
<p>SCP-8787 is capable of anomalously recruiting individuals and transforming them into SCP-8787-B instances. SCP-8787-B instances are humans that have been mentally conditioned into believing they have always worked in SCP-8787 as a server or barista. Current SCP-8787-B instances — consisting of a crew of ten E-Class personnel from Nexus-18, with rotating shifts — are cognizant of the fact that SCP-8787 is anomalous, and do not appear to have had any mental conditioning placed upon them.</p>
<p>SCP-8787-A referred to Sidney Charmer, who, prior to the current iteration of containment procedures, was believed to the proprietor of SCP-8787. In reality, Charmer was beholden to SCP-8787 and had been for several centuries. SCP-8787-A was aware of its anomalous properties and could exert some form of control over it, but could not leave the establishment. Following current containment efforts, SCP-8787-A lost all anomalous properties.</p>
<p>SCP-8787 was contained in Site-87's lobby on January 26th, 2024, after two Foundation personnel who had been converted into SCP-8787-B instances — thaumaturge Dr. Katherine Sinclair and her husband, Dr. Montgomery Reynolds — formed a nomenclative link between the previous iteration of SCP-8787 ("Sid's Coffee Place") and Site-87 (which uses the front "S & C Plastics") using the Foundation-created memetic complex known as the Frontispiece to transport SCP-8787 from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Sloth's Pit, Wisconsin.</p>
<p>Since this transportation, SCP-8787's anomalous properties have greatly diminished; previously, it was capable of transforming any human, regardless of distance to itself, into an SCP-8787-B instance. Following its relocation, it seems to draw on the population of Nexus-18 for its employees, who are aware of its anomalous properties.</p>
<p>The exact nature of SCP-8787's anomaly remains unknown to the Foundation. However, due to the ease of its containment and relatively benign anomaly, its containment is no longer a top priority.</p>

<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> Being debriefed by someone else. She'll probaby lose access to the site for a while, which is a pity; I'd loved to have shown her that <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8249">submarine we have in containment</a>.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> And you're not?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> I was under the effects for less than seventy-two hours. You had her in there for almost a year and a half. It's a small miracle she's not lost her job. Now… do you have any anomalous capabilities?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> What, are you expecting me to conjure you a chai latte with two pumps of almond milk out of thin air?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> …that's my favorite thing to get. How…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> As far as I can tell, the most I have right now is a weak telepathy that tells me what someone's favorite drink is. As can be evidenced by the fact that I'm inside an interrogation room—</p>
<p><em>SCP-8787-A knocks on the wall.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> —and not in the cafe, I'm not rooted to it any longer. But… c'mon. Is the Foundation <em>really</em> going to lock someone up because they have fucking barista telepathy?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> Not my call to make. But… the Foundation doesn't… how do I describe this…</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Hmm?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> The Foundation doesn't seem to be able to… function properly here. There was this guy a decade ago, no-nonsense type of person, who tried to audit the site. His name was Matthew… something-or-other. Tried to get us all fired for 'unprofessional behavior'.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> What happened?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> The official story is that he was run out of town by the Goatman. But there have been rumors that our head of security, Nick Ewell, helped scare him off. In short, there's something about Sloth's Pit… something that I think happens in <em>most</em> Nexuses, come to think of it, that kind of just… makes the Foundation's core ideals break down. By all rights, this town should be under an impenetrable acrylic dome, and every citizen should be in containment or dead for what they know.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Seems impractical.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> That's my pet theory, that the Foundation finds it more practical to let people live their lives. Don't tell Katherine this, but I do not put <em>any</em> stock in pataphysics.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> So what you're saying is… it would be more practical to let me out of here than to keep me in a cell?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> That's not the <em>only</em> thing they could do. The Foundation could always grind you into a pulp and feed you to SCP-10███.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> <em>What?!</em></p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> Bit of dark humor. I think I'm entitled to a bit of it after what I've been through.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Look, it's not <em>my</em> fault you got drawn into it.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> That's the only instance of it I'll allow. Have you retained any anomalous knowledge?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> You mean like… how I got in there? Fuck if I know. Once you live a few centuries, your mind starts to blur everything together.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> What's the oldest thing you can remember?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8787-A stands and paces.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> I think… I remember killing the previous owner of the shop, back when it was a bar. But that was <em>yonks</em> ago.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> Can you pin a year to it?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> …uh, shit. Maybe… thirteen?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> Thirteen… <em>hundred?</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> No, thirteen.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> B.C.? A.D.?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Monty… you mind if I call you that? I don't fucking <em>know</em> because, when I set up shop in Rome for the first time, Yeshua bin Yusuf was just some a hillbilly cult leader who occasionally tried to peddle some really watered-down booze to me.</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Ha! The look on your face. <<em>SCP-8787-A laughs.</em>> Sorry, couldn't resist. Nah, I'm fuckin' with ya. 1307, I think. Somewhere in Wales? I can't remember much beyond that, I'm afraid. Sorry.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> We'll take the information into consideration. But like I said.. there's something about this place that makes the Foundation's hoarding behavior break down. There's a good chance you're going to be able to… live a normal life. Or what passes for it here.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> I'll stop by whenever I can. For old times' sake.</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> Any other pertinent information?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> You able to contact SCP-105 at all? Iris?</p>
<p><strong>Rsr. Reynolds:</strong> I know someone who knows someone on ETTRA. Why?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8787-A:</strong> Tell her that Abe misses her dearly, if you can.</p>
<p><em>O5 Command, ETTRA, and Alpha-9 are currently debating whether this message should be delivered to SCP-105.</em></p>

<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Colonel Malcolm Guillard, Section Head, Investigations & Retrieval, Site-87</p>
<p><strong>Subject:</strong> Dr. Katherine Jean Sinclair</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> So… what's the damage?</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> A lot.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Am I being terminated?</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> From what I understand, Director Bailey called in every favor but one to make sure that didn't happen. But… Sinclair, what you did was <em>profoundly</em> unprofessional and fucked up.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Is this you talking to me as a member of the Foundation, or—</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> This is me talking to you as the guy who used to play Hammerheart the Broad in Bailey's <em>Pathfinder</em> game.</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> You vanished for over a year, Katherine.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> It was hardly my fault that 8787 drew me in.</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> Which is about half of the reason why you're being allowed to stay in the Foundation. But… you abandoned your <em>husband</em>. Your <em>kid</em>. That doesn't sound like you. That <em>isn't</em> you. What happened, Katherine?</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> …do you know anything about my mother, Malcolm?</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> I saw in her file that you're estranged from her.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> She's… not well. She had episodes when I was younger, and eventually, she… hurt someone.</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> Hurt how?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> She got rear-ended driving home with groceries and got out of the car, started attacking the driver. It was just a fender-bender, and she <em>dislocated his jaw</em>. She was committed to Belmont, a mental health center in Philadelphia. Claims to not even remember it. I… I'm afraid of turning out like her.</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> You've… never been diagnosed with any mood disorders, have you?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> A shrink I saw at my college diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder. Dr. Palmer doesn't seem to think so, but he goes easy on <em>everyone</em> here.</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> What do you think?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> I think that… there's no excusing what I did. I failed as a mother, and I failed my duty to this place, and to these people. What sort of punishment am I getting, exactly?</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> A few things. Let me read out the report.</p>
<p><em>Col. Guillard produces the minutes of a disciplinary hearing on Dr. Sinclair.</em></p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> "Disappointed by this behavior in a loyal member of Foundation personnel", "meritorious actions in the past have been taken into account"… "Actions Taken: 1) Dr. Sinclair is to be demoted from head of Occult Studies and Thaumaturgy at Site-87, and is not allowed to hold the position of Department Head for five calendar years. 2) For a period of two calendar years, any egress from Nexus-18 must be undertaken with a Foundation escort to ensure that this behavior is not repeated. 3) Mandatory psychiatric counseling, twice a week, for three calendar years and 4) Mandatory leave of absence for a period of two weeks."</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Could be worse. Could be put on thaumosuppressants. Who's going to be the new OS&T head?</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> A couple of people are coming on. Rudolph Carmichael from <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/hecatoncheires-cycle-hub">Site-91</a>, he's…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> I'm aware of his condition. Worked with him a couple of times. He's department head, though? With how his brand of thaumaturgy behaves—</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> He's not. Do you remember Matthew Broderick?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> What does the most wooden actor in— wait, you mean the <em><a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/tax-man">Tax Man</a>?</em> That asshole who tried to audit 87 a decade ago?!</p>
<p><strong>Col. Gullard:</strong> He goes by Matthew Richardson now. Got tired of the jokes.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> He's a <em>thaumaturge?!</em> How? I didn't detect a lick of aura on him when he tried to read me the riot act—</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> Apparently a few months after the audit, he [DATA EXPUNGED].</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> …on <em>accident?</em></p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> That's what his file says.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> How do you accidentally [REDACTED]? They wriggle around when you—</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> He was doing an audit on Site-55 at the time, during the whole thing with the—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Jay told me about that a few years ago. Poor bastard. Hell of a way to have an awakening.</p>
<p><em>Silence on the recording.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Do you need anything else? I have to go pick up my daughter from daycare. If I'm on mandatory LOA, I might as well make the most of it. Make up for lost time.</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> Are you allergic to anything? Nuts, chocolate?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> Liao refuses to cough up your medical file, and we need to make sure that the 'welcome back' cake we're buying you isn't going to kill you.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Sinclair laughs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> As long as you don't bake it with dust mites, I should be fine.</p>
<p><strong>Col. Guillard:</strong> Good to have you back, Katherine.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sinclair:</strong> Good to <em>be</em> back.</p>

<p>Victim of SCP-8788.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Hidden cameras monitor Foundation-owned and high-traffic public restrooms. Individuals suspected to have ingested SCP-8788 are transferred to the nearest Foundation site, where they undergo Operation Dehydration.</p>
<p>Specialty-class UR-1-NE centrifuges are installed in both public-sector and Foundation-owned water treatment facilities, where SCP-8788 is filtered out and delivered to the nearest Foundation site. SCP-8788 is provided as drinking water for select D-Class personnel, and supervising wardens assume the full-time responsibility for the continuous enactment of Operation Dehydration.</p>
<p>The following containment procedures are conditionally executed, until SCP-8788's global manifestation frequency has been limited below certain thresholds:<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">SCP-8788 is publicly advertised and sold as healthy bottled formula for infants.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Operation Siccitas is performed on Exspes-Class population centres.</span></li>
<li>Automated tasers are installed in Foundation restrooms.</li>
</ul>
<p>Personnel assigned to SCP-8788 may request a project transfer after twelve weeks of service.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8788 is a variant of water, with a density of 985kg/m<sup>3</sup> at room temperature<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>. Its anomalous effects manifest when any human in a populated restroom has a bladder containing at least 72ml of SCP-8788.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup></p>
<p>A successful manifestation compels all present individuals to use adjacent toilets and engage in pleasant conversation, with a strong tendency to expose personal information. Throughout the conversation, SCP-8788 would self-replicate in each individual's urinary system to sustain the discharge of urine. In most recorded cases, the total discharge far exceeds the capacity of any human bladder.</p>
<p>Urinary excretion wanes as the conversation naturally concludes, signalling the end of the manifestation. Interviews with affected subjects afterward suggest that their interpersonal relationships have improved, and that they aren't troubled by their anomalous urinary performance.</p>
<p>In the event where SCP-8788 attempts to manifest, but there exists a language barrier between the individuals involved, the volume of SCP-8788 in their bladders is neutralised into non-anomalous water upon urination.</p>

<h3 id="toc0"><span>OPERATION DEHYDRATION - Foreword</span></h3>
</div>
<p>I know most of you complained once you were assigned to SCP-8788. Look, I get it, studying urine isn't anyone's cup of tea. Suck it up. You're given the option to rotate out after 3 months anyway. There are far worse things you could be doing in the Foundation.</p>
<p>Worse things such as Operation Dehydration. Unfortunately, it's the most reliable method we've got to keep manifestation numbers down. For whatever reason, the skip turns to regular water if the people can't speak with each other. So we've arranged for some special D-Class to act as water purifiers, and you'll be making sure they're peeing right, 10 hours a day. Same applies if a civilian wanders to a toilet and starts announcing their life story. We snatch them and flush SCP-8788 from their system.</p>
<p>Some of you might ask, what's the point? Why go to such lengths to stop a bit of gossiping? Well just like gossip, this piss spreads. And spreads fast. Worst case: LK-Class scenario. Elimination of privacy, and our precious veil becomes as flimsy as soggy toilet paper. On top of that, each manifestation effectively grows the volume of water on Earth, a net increase in global sea levels. So unless you want to drown the planet in humanity's piss, do your job.</p>

<p>Alright, I admit I might have objected a little too strongly against moving 15,000km across the globe into the middle of bumfuck nowhere. However, even ignoring the fact that the toilets here flush backwards, this place is pretty interesting. Because it's so remote, most of the drinking water comes from recycled sewerage. Yes, the people here are drinking their own piss, and because of SCP-8788, they piss a whole lot more than they drink.</p>

<p>SCP-8790</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> The entrance to SCP-8790 has been locked and all potential entrances boarded up. A single armed guard is to be constantly patrolling SCP-8790. All access is forbidden.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8790 is an abandoned facility located in ████████, Alabama, constructed sometime within the late 19th century. The building spans approximately 3,800 square meters and contains dormitories, administrative offices, communal areas, and other rooms with unclear purposes. Inside one of the offices, a metal placard is affixed to the wall, which reads:</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style='background: url("https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/the-great-hippo/scp_trans.png") center no-repeat; float: center; border: solid 2px #000; padding: 1px 15px; box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.2);'>
<h2 id="toc0"><span>DEPARTMENT OF ABNORMALITIES</span></h2>
<h3 id="toc1"><span>FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ALL</span></h3>
</div>
</div>
<br/>
No department of this name exists within Foundation archives.
<p>The original purpose of the facility remains unknown, as most documents and identifying materials are completely absent. Some examples of rooms within SCP-8790 include:</p>
<ul>
<li>A large, bare room with two rows of metal chairs facing a faded emblem on the wall. The room shows signs of extensive use, with visible scuff marks on the floor and remnants of a long-destroyed filing cabinet. Two rusted observation windows are located at either end of the room. Recovered artifacts include a rusted ledger containing lists of names alongside the notations "H2," "H3," and "Corrected."</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A room nearly filled with burnt documents and broken filing cabinets. While most papers are heavily redacted or entirely destroyed, a few intact files reference "Postwar advancements in psycho-██████ anomalies" and "Candidate irrecoverable. Decommissioned per final resolution protocol."</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A dimly lit room with a single chair bolted to the center of the floor. Wires run from the chair to an adjacent wall, where several broken devices and crude mechanical instruments are mounted.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> The walls are covered in peeling paint, and faint traces of ash are visible in the corners of the room. Behind the chair is a projector.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A small, circular room featuring a cracked but functional full-length mirror. The walls are draped in thick, faded red curtains that block out most light. Small remnants of cloth and hair are lodged in the cracks of the mirror.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A rectangular room featuring faded murals resembling winged figures. On the left side of the room is a podium with a crucifix etched onto the base. Behind it are several paddles, whips, and clamps, all highly damaged. The center of the room has stains of blood within the carpeting. The room is always lit despite the lack of windows.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A hallway of 12 small cells, each containing a cot, a non-functional surveillance camera, and a feeding hatch built into the door. Scratch marks on the walls and ceilings spell out various words and phrases, although most are illegible.</li>
</ul>
<p>Personnel exposed to the interior of SCP-8790 for extended periods report difficulty forming or maintaining personal relationships. This effect is often permanent among individuals attracted to the same sex.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Due to its method of occurence and the relatively small sample size of affected parties, no containment measures for SCP-8791 are possible or necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8791 is a phenomenon that occurs after the death of an individual who holds belief in the existence of Ancient Egyptian deities. SCP-8791 will occur regardless of the individual's race, ethnicity, age, primary religion, and/or strength of their belief in said deities.</p>

<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> SCP-8791 was discovered via the Foundation's use of the Afterlife Recording Device (A.R.D.), an experimental device used by the Department of Tactical Theology to find potential afterlives within the Mnemosyne Expanse<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>.</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8797</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Keter</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> The sole extant copy of SCP-8797 is located in a secure storage locker in Site-19.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8797 is a collection of literary works entitled <em>The Collected Works of Alex Thorley.</em> These works are a diverse set of realist literature, historical fiction, poetry, science fiction, newspaper interviews, medieval chronicles, fairy tales, plays and jokes.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 1:</strong> The following is an interview from a promotional tour for SCP-8797.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>The camera opens onto the studio for popular late-night talk show TIMMY KIBBLE LIVE!. The audience is cheering as TIMMY KIBBLE LIVE! himself enters the set, waves to the audience and takes a seat.</em></p>
<p><strong>KIBBLE LIVE!:</strong> Welcome back to TKL, folks. Our next guest needs no introduction - they're the acclaimed author of over fifty - yes, fifty! - novels, stories, plays, scripts and so much more. Please welcome to the show ALEX THORLEY!</p>
<p><em>The crowd cheers as ALEX THORLEY enters the studio. They wave at the crowd and sit at the sofa, smiling broadly.</em></p>
<p><strong>KIBBLE LIVE!:</strong> It's a pleasure to have you back on - how long has it been, now?</p>
<p><strong>Thorley:</strong> Um -</p>
<p><strong>THORLEY:</strong> Thanks so much, Timmy - always a pleasure to be back. I think it must have been three, four years?</p>
<p><strong>KIBBLE LIVE!:</strong> Too long, too long.</p>
<p><strong>Thorley:</strong> Um, sorry, can I -</p>
<p><strong>KIBBLE LIVE!:</strong> I'm talking to ALEX now, Alex, please wait your turn.</p>
<p><strong>Thorley:</strong> But I just -</p>
<p><strong>KIBBLE LIVE!:</strong> So, ALEX, tell us about <em>The Collected Works of Alex Thorley</em>. How did it feel, reflecting on the last two decades of writing?</p>
<p><strong>THORLEY:</strong> Well, it began last year, when I was wandering around my Louisiana mansion, examining the animals in my extensive menagerie.</p>
<p><strong>KIBBLE LIVE!:</strong> How many exotic birds do you have now, Alex?</p>
<p><em>The crowd laughs. Thorley looks around, startled. THORLEY chuckles, crossing one leg over the other and resting their arm on the back of the sofa.</em></p>
<p><strong>THORLEY:</strong> Well, it must be seventeen, I think, Timmy. My beautiful wife, Caroline, was telling me just the other day that -</p>
<p><em>Thorley gets up. THORLEY and KIBBLE LIVE! do not seem to notice and continue talking. Thorley walks off the set, heading towards the green room. They bump into a PRODUCER on the way there.</em></p>
<p><strong>PRODUCER:</strong> What are you doing here? You're supposed to be on stage now!</p>
<p><strong>Thorley:</strong> Sorry, it, uh, it didn't seem like they needed me.</p>
<p><em>The PRODUCER sighs and looks down at her clipboard.</em></p>
<p><strong>PRODUCER:</strong> That's not how the format of the show goes. Why would you walk off in the middle of an interview?</p>
<p><strong>Thorley:</strong> Sorry.</p>
<p><strong>PRODUCER:</strong> Whatever.</p>
<p><em>Thorley looks past her and sees a door at the end of the corridor. They stare at it.</em></p>
<p><strong>Thorley:</strong> Could I get past, please?</p>
<p><strong>PRODUCER:</strong> Why?</p>
<p><strong>Thorley:</strong> I just want to get -</p>
<p><strong>PRODUCER:</strong> You may as well now, whatever.</p>
<p><em>The PRODUCER returns to her clipboard. Thorley pushes past her, walking towards the door. They stare at it some more, then look back. The PRODUCER is intently staring at her notes.</em></p>
<p><em>The door is suffused with a faint, sickly green glow. It seems to throb lightly, and hum with electricity. Thorley is drawn to it. They place their hand on it, and feel the slight vibration on their skin.</em></p>
<p><em>Thorley touches the handle, then opens the door and steps through.</em></p>
<p><em>The PRODUCER looks up suddenly.</em></p>
<p><strong>PRODUCER:</strong> Wait, you're not supposed to go back -</p>
<p><em>The PRODUCER notices that Thorley has gone. She shrugs.</em></p>

<p>The man is sitting in his chair, leaning back slightly. His face is unpleasant, and his lips move as he reads along with the words.</p>
<p>You are standing up. Should you be standing up? You haven't been to a meeting like this before, and are unsure. Two rows of grey, steel chairs line each wall, on either side. The soft part of the chair is blue, and you can tell that the stuffing will be cheap, yellowy plastic.</p>
<p>You continue to stand. The man flicks his eyes up at you, and then back at the page.</p>
<p>You're not sure what compelled you to write dozens of distinct pieces of literature, but nonetheless, you have done so. They are sitting there, bound in a lengthy manuscript comprising many and varied pages, currently being stroked and flicked by this unpleasant man. You can't stop looking at them. Is it unnerving the man? You can't be sure, but seeing your works, your precious creations, being <em>manhandled</em> like that -</p>
<p>The man sighs, puts down the manuscript, steeples his fingers and looks at you. <em>Look, Mr. Thorley -</em></p>
<p><em>Mx.</em>, you say.</p>
<p>The man stares at you for several seconds. It feels uncomfortable. Is he trying to make you uncomfortable? He leans forward and writes a note on a piece of paper.</p>
<p><em>Thank you.</em></p>
<p>The man leans back. His chair creaks.</p>
<p><em>It's not that I'm</em> not <em>interested, but we already have many submissions in all of these areas. What is it about</em> you <em>that means I should take a chance?</em></p>
<p>All of those areas? Your submissions seemed so varied, so full of life and energy. Or were you imagining that? You blink hard at the man. His gaze does not break. You take a deep breath and pull yourself together.</p>
<p><em>Well, uh -</em></p>
<p>The man smiles, briefly. He tosses the manuscript onto a pile. You watch as its pages flitter over one another. <em>Well, thank you for coming in, Ms. Thorley. We'll let you know.</em></p>

<p>Dearest Alex,</p>
<p>I've been at the front for thirteen weeks. It seems like only yesterday we were saying goodbye, in front of your ████████████. War truly is hell.</p>
<p>What gets me more than anything else here is the <em>boredom</em>. The shelling is ████████████, a constant thump-thump-thump, and the rations are of ███ quality.</p>
<p>I seem to spend most of my time following a rote series of orders concerning minor matters of logistics, particularly the procurement of canned ███████, canned ███ and canned ████. I have never felt more alive.</p>
<p>War is ███.</p>
<p>Yours,<br/>
ALEX.</p>

<p>Dearest Alex,</p>
<p>You did not reply to my last letter. I am despondent. This morning, I lay down on the floor of my dugout for █ hours, watching water drip off the ceiling. An assault was called; I did not notice, and was not noticed. I heard █████ outside, but it passed, in time.</p>
<p>That evening, after the survivors returned, I got up and prepared a meal of ███ for the men. They did not like it, but it provided me with much nourishment.</p>
<p>I long to see ██ again. Send my love to ███████.</p>
<p>Yours always,<br/>

<p>You close the door behind you, and straighten your tie. You're not sure it suits you. It is a deep, rich black, a colour you associated with power and dominance this morning. You are not sure now.</p>
<p>You leave the publishing company. The lift is out of order, and you're forced to take the staircase. A single lightbulb flickers.</p>
<p>You hear footsteps coming up from below. You straighten your tie; you want to make a good impression. You turn a corner, and see ALEX THORLEY ascending the staircase, a wide smile on their face.</p>
<p>The smile is huge. The teeth are all visible, white, gleaming, vast. You get the sense THORLEY is delighted to see you.</p>
<p>You stop. They also stop. Slowly, achingly, they raise their hand. Their eyes are wide, immense pools dragging you into them, surrounding you.</p>
<p><em>It is so lovely to meet you, Alex! May I call you Alex?</em></p>
<p>You are paralysed. You have never seen a smile like this. It is so confident, so bright, so symmetrical. It's incredibly symmetrical. Thorley is towering over you, their hand still outstretched. You collapse, sweating, on the ground.</p>
<p><em>You have to raise your hand, Alex. It's polite.</em></p>
<p>ALEX looks down at you, their digits jutting in your face. Your hand quivers as you bring it up. You feel it getting closer and closer, closer to touching this immense specimen. You can hear their breath. You can almost feel it.</p>
<p>You take their hand. They shake it, professionally, and continue on. You get up and continue to walk downstairs.</p>

<h1><span>Alex Thorley: Have they killed? Will they kill again?</span></h1>
<h3><span>By ALEX THORLEY</span></h3>
<p><em>PORTLAND, Washington, December 25th - Further allegations have been made against Department of Unreality employee Alex Thorley. Thorley, ██, has been described by witnesses, and is considered to be "at large" by leading experts.</em></p>
<p><em>Already dubbed "Alex Thorley" by members of the press, Thorley is wanted on charges related to criminal activity. Police Comissioner Ashok Kumar said in a prepared statement, "We do not know what Thorley has done, nor what they will do in the future, so it is of vital importance and in the public interest that they surrender immediately."</em></p>
<p><em>Although the exact nature of the allegations against Thorley is unknown, there is widespread speculation that they relate to the recent events occurring in and around the area Thorley was last seen. Speaking exclusively, District Attorney Alan Smithee said "I don't know where they are, but the possibility of allowing Thorley to remain at large doesn't bear thinking about. A civilised society has to oppose their actions at any cost."</em></p>
<p><em>Inquiries are ongoing. If you have any information relating to the possible capture of Alex Thorley, please text or call ███-█████-█████.</em></p>

<p>It is night. You are sitting in bed, reading the newspaper. You feel the crisp pages between your fingers. You spot an article by ALEX THORLEY, discussing you. It feels unnecessarily vague, imprecise. It oscillates between stating your crimes and merely insinuating them.</p>
<p>You take a drink of water, and replace it precisely on the coaster, equidistant to each side. There is a slight tremor in the water as you do so. Your breath tightens.</p>
<p>It is very quiet here. When did you last see another person? You are wearing pyjamas with blue and white stripes. The blue is a light, calming colour. The stripes are vertical.</p>
<p>You have spent the day meticulously cleaning your apartment. You have restocked your fridge, done the opposite of <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/disintegration">everything you've done before</a>. You are a model citizen, a model of restraint and clean, healthy living.</p>
<p>You consider your name, Alex Thorley. Is it a name that projects an air of personability, approachability? You do not know. Your room is <em>immaculate</em>.</p>

<p><em>Extract from 'The Towers Fell', by ALEX THORLEY.</em></p>
<hr/>
<p>Captain THORLEY sat back in their chair, thinking. They'd never had to think as hard in their life; their thoughts, in this place and time, would never matter more.</p>
<p>Ensign Thorley stood expectantly. THORLEY felt sorry for the kid; it would be a long time before they'd have to endure the burden of command. Thorley was a competent liason, but they had a long way to go before they'd be in control of their own starship.</p>
<p>They stroked their chin in an expressive fashion, and came to a decision. "Hail them again," they ordered.</p>
<p>Ensign Thorley nodded, and pressed a button. On screen, the towers loomed expectantly. They were heading right for them.</p>
<p>"Captain THORLEY!" came the response, psychically imprinting itself in their brains. They winced, but long years had prepared their psyche for any psychic eventuality, even telepathy. "What is your response? Time is ticking!"</p>
<p>"Are - are those the Twin Towers? The WTC? What is - " began Thorley, but was silenced by a gesture from THORLEY. The other cast members looked on in evident confusion.</p>
<p>"Listen here, Towers," said THORLEY, their voice filled with purpose and magnanimity. "We've given you every possible chance, but we can't wait any longer. Either you demolish yourself in a controlled fashion, or we're entering <em>ramming speed</em>.</p>
<p>"I - why are you writing this? What is this? Is this some kind of fanfic?" Thorley had been infected, they could tell. It was the only explanation for this outburst. "This is terrible. I don't understand why you'd think this was funny. Thousands of people died! What are you doing? It's like you're completely out of ide-"</p>

<p><em>Interview with Alex Thorley for Hello! Magazine. Interviewer: ALEX THORLEY.</em></p>
<hr/>
<p>Greeting Alex Thorley at their Portland home, I couldn't help but feel a vague sense of trepidation. Thorley's reputation preceded them - a profound thinker and highly accomplished member of the Department of Unreality, with an ego that far outsized that of their colleagues. How would they respond to my questions? Would they be responsive under questioning?</p>
<p>I needn't have worried. From the second Thorley welcomed me into their beautiful apartment with a "Who are you?", I felt like we'd known each other for years. I felt I could be myself around Thorley - which, perhaps, is a significant factor in their recent successes.</p>
<p>They chose to sit on a steel-backed chair, with cheap stuffing showing through the fabric - an inspired choice, demonstrating a rarely seen humility. I begin by asking about the elephant in the room, but they just <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8195">sigh in response</a>. So I clarify that I'm talking about <em>that</em> Halloween party.</p>
<p>"What party?", they respond.</p>
<p>At this point, it's worth mentioning why exactly Alex Thorley is famous. <em>The Collected Works of Alex Thorley</em> was published last month to immense acclaim. Across the Foundation, critics and the public alike have been going <em>wild</em> for it, hailing Thorley as a new Proust.</p>
<p>I'll never forget what they said when I asked how they felt about it: "What?" Such a simple response that encapsulates everything that needs to be said.</p>
<p>After finishing my tea, we moved to their elegant living room. As there was only one chair, Alex graciously took to the floor as I grilled him about their work with the Unreality Department. "I, uh, can't really talk about it, I think? I don't know what your clearance, uh. Are you a Level 2?"</p>
<p>As our conversation comes to an end, I can't resist asking my new friend one final question: why bagels? They laugh, charmingly, and then realise I'm serious. "I'm not sure," they say. "There was one in the stand? I didn't mean to - "</p>

<hr/>
<p>The ball was held that evening at Bielefeld Hall, and the attendees proved a bashful and simple set. THORLEY felt they could not approve, and spent the proceedings wandering the outskirts of the proceedings before them, occasionally remarking on a lady's dress or a gentleman'slack of posture. There was little dancing to be had, and the occasion quickly became a somewhat stilted affair.</p>
<p>"Come, THORLEY!" cried Lord Halifax. "You must regale us with one of your fine tales - something from the shores of Trafalgar, perhaps?"</p>
<p>"Why, Lord Halifax," said Miss Ottawa, with a laugh, "Trafalgar was a <em>sea</em> battle, and as such had no shores."</p>
<p>THORLEY sighed at this display. They were distracted by the approach of Mx Alex Thorley, who seemed shocked to see him, and moved away quickly.</p>
<p>THORLEY followed them, pushing through the crowds of revellers. They caught up with them on a small balcony, overlooking the park; Mx Alex was turned away.</p>
<p>"Mx Alex", they began, but they held up a hand in response.</p>
<p>"This isn't regency fiction, ALEX. The prose is all wrong. It's more like someone's memory of it, someone who read Austen in high school."</p>
<p>You panic. You tug at your cravat. You hear the sounds of revelry from within.</p>
<p>"It isn't working, ALEX. It's just like the others. It collapses before it even begins."</p>
<p>You look back, but Alex Thorley is barely even there any more. You blink, and head back inside.</p>

<p>You wake up in the middle of the night, and THORLEY is lying next to you.</p>
<p>THORLEY has it all. A journalist, a historical novelist, an award-winning diarist, a writer of some of Regency England's finest works. THORLEY is smiling. They are staring straight at you. Their teeth are so white; their skin is impeccable.</p>
<p><em>What skincare do you use,</em> you ask. You can't help yourself.</p>
<p><em>I don't,</em> they reply.</p>
<p>THORLEY stops smiling, and sits up. You are happy. Lying next to you is ALEX THORLEY. It is not heat that radiates off them, but something else, something immaterial. You are no longer interested in understanding it. The light filters in slight and repeating patterns through the window, and you are fine.</p>
<p><em>Do you have any milk,</em> they ask. You don't know. They will find out themself. Of that, you are certain. There is nothing left to do but sit and wait, for perfection, for apotheosis.</p>

<p><em>Thorley enters, putting their coat on a coatstand. They notice THORLEY.</em></p>
<p><strong>Thorley:</strong> What are you doing with the gun, ALEX?</p>

<p><em>Thorley turns on the light, then slowly walks towards THORLEY.</em></p>

<p><strong>Thorley:</strong> You don't work for the SCP F-</p>
<p><strong>THORLEY:</strong> Nothing!</p>
<p><em>THORLEY gets up abruptly. They aim the shotgun at Thorley, hands shaking.</em></p>
<p><strong>THORLEY:</strong> Nothing! A broken back, an insurance cheque every month, and a pat on the back. I mined coal for fourteen years!</p>
<p><strong>Thorley:</strong> I thought you said you worked -</p>
<p><strong>THORLEY:</strong> Shut up! Just - just shut up!</p>
<p><em>THORLEY sits down again, putting their head in their hands.</em></p>

<p><em>Thorley turns towards the stage. They sit down, staring at the audience; they lie down, spreading their limbs wide.</em></p>
<p><strong>THORLEY:</strong> What - what are you doing?</p>
<p><em>Thorley does not respond. THORLEY gets up, picking up the shotgun. They use the shotgun to poke Thorley in the side. Thorley still does not respond.</em></p>
<p><strong>THORLEY:</strong> Why are you doing that? What's wrong with you? This isn't in the script.</p>
<p><em>Thorley does not respond.</em></p>
<p><strong>THORLEY:</strong> I don't understand.</p>

<p>There was someone here, a little while ago. But now it's quiet again. You hear a hiss in the ears, a hiss of feedback, air rushing past and back inside you. It permeates you. You listen closely, but it doesn't change.</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8798</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Thaumiel</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong></p>
<p>The entrance to SCP-8798 is to be guarded at all times from internal and external interlopers. Guards are to be stationed at SCP-8798's rim, but not inside SCP-8798 itself beyond the Upper Caverns. Fourteen staircases currently connect the Upper Caverns to the lower districts; no personnel except for D-Class residents are to enter the lower districts without the express permission of the Administrator or one of the surviving members of the O5 Council. The sole exception to this is MTF-245, "That Which Descends".</p>
<p>MTF-245 is to be composed of 100-150 agents trained in espionage, political agitation and strikebreaking tactics. As the number of eligible candidates decreases, plans for recruitment of D-Class personnel to the taskforce are currently under review. The two current strategies proposed are A) an offer of a light source, and B) widespread religious inculcation of the populace into believing that the Foundation's role is messianic in nature. The latter is favoured as more reliable.</p>
<p>MTF-245's exact orders are not to be released to general review.</p>
<p>For their own safety, no non-D-Class personnel may leave the area around SCP-8798 or its designated farmland, except to receive SCP-8798-1 and deliver it onwards. SCP-8798-1 is to be extracted at a rate of 17,000 kg per quarter. Food and water is to be delivered into the lower districts by the existing winch system, contingent on delivery to the surface via that same system of SCP-8798-1.</p>
<p>Should the quantity of SCP-8798-1 extracted be lower than 14,000 kg in any given quarter, it will not provide enough power. This is designated an unacceptable outcome, and the following measures are to be taken, in order, until the situation is rectified:</p>
<ul>
<li>An armed incursion by MTF-562, "That Which Remains", to force a short-term, rapid increase in production or to collect any hoarded SCP-8798-1.</li>
<li>Negotiation with D-Class personnel to increase production. A store of food and other goods has been set aside to provide incentives for this eventuality, and production currently outstrips the goods provided by 240%, allowing negotiatiors considerable leeway.</li>
<li>The removal of up to 30% of the D-Class population as a compliance strategy. This is highly discouraged, as it will necessitate a significant per-person increase in production among the remaining population; it is not currently known if this is feasible owing to the constraints of the human body.</li>
<li>The extermination of remaining D-Class personnel and the use of Foundation personnel other than D-Class to extract SCP-8798-1. This is highly discouraged by the Ethics Committee, and will have to undergo review by them, the Administrator and the surviving members of the O5 Council.</li>
</ul>
<p>This outcome is considered unlikely, however, as the present political conditions and mental deterioration of D-Class personnel are not conducive to a decrease in production. Reports of SCP-8798-1 consumption by D-Class personnel remain unverified, but such a practice has been theorised as helping to maintain the current production quota.</p>
<p>According to data gathered by MTF-245, the current status of SCP-8798-2 outbreaks is as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Upper Caverns are not at risk.</li>
<li>The Central Warrens are at limited risk. The population is large, but the exits are inaccessible and the air is only partially conducive to permanent habitation.</li>
<li>The Eastern Warrens<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> are at low risk, but limited habitation makes this a useful target for diverting outbreaks without a significant decrease in the rate of extraction.</li>
<li>The Western Warrens are at high risk, with seven outbreaks and three deaths reported in the last quarter.</li>
<li>The Southern Depths<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> have been rendered uninhabitable but do contain several vital extraction points, with many D-Class personnel working temporary shifts here. SCP-8798-2 has not operated in this area for several months, but dead instances have been reportedly observed by D-Class personnel.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup></li>
<li>The Southern Warrens are at high risk, with sixteen outbreaks and twenty deaths reported in the last quarter.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the event that SCP-8798-1 does not provide enough power, the Nagasaki Protocol will come into effect. SCP-8798 will be filled with concrete following the extraction of any non-D-Class personnel<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup>. Any surviving personnel involved with SCP-8798 will be amnesticised. In this scenario, it is <strong>imperative</strong> that any surviving humans do not rediscover SCP-8798-1.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8799 is held in Security Locker 662 in Site-19. The object itself does not require extensive containment, but a heightened threat exists that the Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts (the ORIA) will attempt to steal the item. Consequently, Security Protocol Kappa-12 has been enacted across Secure Containment Wing 600.</p>
<p>Following Incident 8799-2, any contact from SCP-8799-1 is to be forwarded to the office of Director Egon Kohl. No further incursions into SCP-8799-1 are currently planned due to the non-cooperation of the ORIA. The ORIA appears to have effectively contained the Sayyid Ali Shrine, preventing all public knowledge of its existence.</p>
<p>The location of Agent Nodira Jo'rayeva is unknown. All reports concerning her whereabouts are to be delivered directly to Director Kohl.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8799 is a manuscript copy of the Shahnameh, or the "Book of Kings", a Persian-language epic poem from the 10th century written by the Khorasani poet Ferdowsi. One of the foundational works of Persian literature, the work is a mythical history of Iran from the beginning of creation to the Islamic conquest in the 7th century CE.</p>
<p>Absolute dating methods have demonstrated that SCP-8799 was created over 10,000 years ago, long before the Shahnameh's composition in the 10th and 11th centuries. It contains a number of paintings within it, all identical copies of a number of non-anomalous Shahnameh manuscripts from across Iranian history since the 10th century, thus representing a broad range of chronological and stylistic variants; paleographic analysis, however, has determined that all were created at the same time as the book.</p>
<p>The object's primary anomalous effect is that these images all contain movement, with scenes, individuals and objects acting out the scenes they depict before reverting to their original forms<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>.</p>
<p>SCP-8799 came into Foundation possession in 1895, after the death of Foundation operative and Orientalist John Callaghan in Tus, Iran in 1894. Callaghan discovered the book in 1871 but kept it in his personal possession bequeathing the book to the Foundation in his will. Researchers have noticed that, in the 129 years the object has been in Foundation custody, the animation of the images has slowed by an average of 0.33 milliseconds per painting.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8799-1:</strong> As of 09/05/2023, SCP-8799 has been seconded to the Department of External Affairs for use in Operation al-Baqara.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The changing nature of the anomalous world we inhabit requires a changing response. Foundation superiority over other anomalous groups is by no means as assured as it once was. Nowhere is this more evident than in our presence - or lack of one - in the Middle East, where most anomalous affairs are entirely out of our purview. Partly, this is attributable to hostile governments and a poor reputation with local anomalous groups, but it is principally down to our relations with a single organisation: the ORIA.</p>
<p>The ORIA's pre-eminence in anomalous affairs in the Islamic world is well established, but in the last five years, its activities have expanded enormously. Governments across the Middle East, regardless of their position on Iran more generally, have been turning to it, rather than us, for help with outbreaks of anomalous activity. This is partially down to a vigorous campaign of reform within the ORIA itself, with the organisation utilising its limited assets far more effectively and ruthlessly than in the past, but the truth of the matter is that we have brought this on our own heads.</p>
<p>The Foundation does not command the same level of trust as it once did. Our associations with Western governments and the geographically uneven nature of our operations has changed the perception of us in the eyes of many. We are no longer seen as a neutral force, above politics and political involvement. We are seen as a colonial power, a benighted, arrogant, even fascistic group bent on using the anomalous to assert American foreign policy interests. This is, of course, a gross mischaracterisation of our mission, but we have not done enough to combat this perception, and the ORIA has taken full advantage of it. Its dominance in the Middle East is assured, we have been all but forced out of Central Asia, and, most worryingly, its influence in Russia is increasing rapidly.</p>
<p>Consequently, there are two options before us. We can try to destroy the ORIA, going toe-to-toe with it and initialising another round of conflict - but I don't think many of us want this. Those of us from the older generations remember the bitter days of the late 80s, and the losses we suffered in attempting to contain the Risen Ctesiphon and the Black Div. We might prevail, but the ORIA will be expecting us, and there's a strong chance we'll lose our global preeminence in the process.</p>
<p>The second option is that we engage the ORIA in a rapproachment. I know the dangers involved in this; the ORIA's mission of widespread utilisation of anomalies and "respect" for local cultural institutions is anathema to our core values. But I fear we have little choice. After several instances of mutual cooperation - the Bagration Incident, Operation Calico, <a href="/your-place-was-empty">the study of the Complete Avesta</a>- the time is ripe for a new chapter in our relations. I know many in the ORIA are of a same mind; if we are both willing to compromise, we can create a safer, more harmonious, more <em>contained</em> world for us all.</p>
<p>~ Director Egon Kohl, Head of the ORIA Affairs Division, Department of External Affairs.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As one of a number of small-scale collaborations with the ORIA, the Foundation has agreed to perform an experiment utilising SCP-8799. Several Persian and Arabic manuscripts dating as far back as the 11th century in the ORIA's possession appear to mention SCP-8799, describing the nature, style and anomalous effects of SCP-8799 in remarkable details. All of these associate SCP-8799 with a shrine outside the city of Tus, where one Sayyid Ali ibn Ni'matullah ibn Reza al-Nishapuri, a Sufi of the Chisti Order, would place the book upon "a rock made of gold, with inlaid turquoise and lapis lazuli" and "enter a place of union with the divine, through which he alone was able to pass; for the path was burnt, and ringed with strange fire."</p>
<p>Remarkably, not only has the Sayyid Ali Shrine (constructed c. 980) survived to the present day, but a golden lectern inlaid with turquoise and lapis lazuli also survives within it. Considering the dilapidated state of the building, it is not known why this artefact has not been looted or damaged; it is in near-perfect condition.</p>
<p>The ORIA and the Foundation have thus agreed to take SCP-8799 to the Sayyid Ali Shrine and place it on the lectern as part of a joint operation to determine if any further anomalous effects are present or possible to induce. While few tangible results are expected, this nevertheless constitutes a prime opportunity for the establishment of research ties and greater trust between our organisations.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 2: Incident 8799-1</strong></p>
<p>On 18/05/2023, a joint ORIA-Foundation taskforce arrived at the Sayyid Ali Shrine. Following preliminary scans, SCP-8799 was placed on the golden lectern by ORIA scientist Dr Parviz Sadr. He had been handed the book by Foundation agent Nodira Jo'rayeva, who was standing "a couple of feet" from him when the book was put down. As soon as this happened, both individuals disappared.</p>
<p>This disappearance caused the rapid breakdown of the mission, with ORIA members accusing the Foundation of causing the disappearance and initiating hostilities. Although Foundation personnel were able to recover SCP-8799, they were forced to leave the scene immediately.</p>
<p>The whereabouts of both individuals were unknown. However, analysis of readings recovered from Foundation equipment indicated an unusual fluctuation in Hume particles when the book was placed, indicative of a dimensional shift. The working theory was that Dr Sadr and Agent Jo'rayeva had been taken to another dimension, provisionally named SCP-8799-1.</p>
<p>Although Agent Jo'rayeva's feeds cut off immediately, Foundation agents within the ORIA were able to provide the logs from Dr Sadr's feeds<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>. The feeds only transmitted sporadically; seven broadcasts survive in all, spread over the course of several months. These are presented below, interspersed with relevant Foundation logs concerning SCP-8799 and the ORIA in chronological order.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Log 1: 18/05/2023</strong></p>
<p><em><Begin Log></em></p>
<p><em>The events of the following log took place immediately after the disappearance of Dr Sadr and Agent Jo'rayeva. The camera appears to show <span style="color: blue">a painting, an Iranian miniature. Specifically, it is Sultan Muhammad's early 16th-century illustration of the Court of Kayumars. Kayumars is the first story in the Shahnameh, so I suppose it was appropriate.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: blue"><em>You probably had something terribly dry and entirely unclear that you wanted to say here, didn't you, Director? But that wouldn't have worked. Nobody would have been able to picture it in their mind. If you want to understand the psyche of your subjects, then describing physical matter does nothing; you have to describe the</em> pattern<em>. This is something the Foundation, with its clinical tone, has never grasped; when dealing with the anomalous, you must become it, or you end up just ticking boxes.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue"><em>But I'm getting ahead of myself. The two of them found themselves inside a painting. The sky was painted gold, swirling circular clouds all around. Vegetation - blue, purple, pink, the colours rising from a relaxed, lethargic white - was erupting around them. They were standing on a circular patch of green, on plants that had the properties of ink and brushstroke. It was beautiful for them. You've very kindly put part of the picture at the top of this page, for the reader's comfort and convenience.</em></span></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> -trick.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I assure you, I know as much as you. You saw me - I placed the book on the lectern, and here we were! Please believe me.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Why should I? You're ORIA.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> And you're Foundation. For all I know, you summoned some piece of invisible arcano-tech I was unable to see, and then whisked me away here to interrogate me.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Why would I do that? Do you have something we'd want?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> There you go, see? Already asking questions of me. Another devious Foundation plot.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I didn't - that's not -</p>
<p><em>Sadr laughs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Relax, Agent, I was joking. If you wanted to capture and interrogate us, I'm sure there are far easier and less baroque ways to do it. Similarly, can you not see that, if we wished to abduct you, we would not bring you inside what seems to be a 16th-century painting?</p>
<p><em>Agent Jo'rayeva lowers her weapon slowly.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I have no idea what an ORIA agent would do.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Agent, I assure you, I didn't do this. At least, not intentionally. But I'm not very surprised.</p>
<p><em>Sadr walks to <span style="color: blue">a waterfall, carved from orange vegetation from which water is falling; but the water looks like black ink, splotching and cascading down onto the greenery below.</span></em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> The surviving material surrounding Sayyid Ali's experiments with the book talked about a "place of union with the divine". Maybe this is that place; maybe he entered the book, and believed the beauty of the place was, itself, divine.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> You think we're in the book?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Do you have a better idea? We're underneath a paper sky. Everything here looks identical to the painting, the copy from the Tahmasp Shahnameh that dominates the first pages of the narrative proper. It seems to me to be the most obvious solution.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> But it's all - all in 3D. We're walking around the place like it's normal. Wouldn't we also be changed?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Maybe. Maybe not. I'm an expert on reality measurement, not on how people appear when placed inside paintings.</p>
<p><em>Jo'rayeva looks <span style="color: blue">sharply</span> at Sadr.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> You're being extremely… <em>glib</em> about all this.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Would you prefer I was some other way? We're students of the anomalous, Agent.</p>
<p><em>Jo'rayeva moves off camera.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I have been in pocket universes before, and I'm sure you have too. It's part and parcel of our work. I don't think I've been inside a book before. Have you? I know of a piece in the Foundation archives, a work similar to this one, that moves with t-</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Doctor.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Yes?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Take a look at this.</p>
<p><em>Sadr moves towards Jo'rayeva. Jo'rayeva is standing at the edge of the plateau, staring down. Spread out on the plain below are what appear to be a series of small islands or hillocks, each containing architecture, greenery, small mountains, and each of which <span style="color: blue">has been drawn in a different style. Miniature painting flourished in Iran from the 13th century to the present; there are those early Mongol works, with their minimal, cruder designs that nonetheless hold charm; the strange, geometric patterns of Behzad and the other Timurid painters; the lush, pastel-like colours of the early Safavid works, at the height of the classical style; the flowing lines of the later Safavids; the strange, Europe-tinged works of the Qajars, with their staring eyes and elegant poses. All of them, an entire history of painting, spread out before our heroes…</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">And between each scene, only burnt paper. Huge reams of it, singed, scorched, ashen. An unrecognisable black mass, collapsing into oblivion. A few pathways have survived, here and there; a few patches of earth remain. But so much has gone. So much of this world has gone.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">But there, if you look closely, you can see flashes of colour…</span></em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> It's all burnt.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Not quite.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Just little islands, just…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Look closely at the edges.</p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">There, on the edges of the islands, are tiny, thin bands of flame. They're burning. They're burning extremely</span></em> <span style="color: blue">slowly<em>, but the fire rings them, surrounding them. It creeps in, year by year, slower than either of them could possibly see, teasing and scorching its way inwards. Nothing escapes it.</em></span></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> This isn't right. This isn't what - what anything should look like.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> A pocket universe degrades over time…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> But look how far it spreads out! This isn't a pocket universe - or, if it is, it's far bigger than any I've ever seen. I can't even see the horizon.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I've been in some before, recursive ones. Self-generating, memetic…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> You <em>have</em> been in a pocket universe before! Why didn't you say so?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> But this isn't like that, is it? You're right. Each of these islands is unique, each of them -</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> They're scenes from the Shahnameh. I recognise some of them. Over there, see?</p>
<p><em>Sadr points towards an island containing a mass of twisted wood.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> That's the Simorgh's nest, where she raised Zal. But there's no Simorgh, and no Zal. And there -</p>
<p><em>He points again, offscreen.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> That's Mount Damavand - it's a real mountain in Iran, but beneath it is where the demon-king Zahhak is bound until the end of time.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Maybe he's not bound there any more, then.</p>
<p><em>The two are silent for some time.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> We should stay here.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> That would be the sensible option.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> It's what we're <em>going to do</em>, Doctor. As far as I'm concerned, you're still a suspect. I need to keep a close eye on you.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> If we wait here, we're waiting on the side of a mountain, out in the open. It's not a safe place to stay. And besides - we could be here for who knows how long. Nobody has come for us yet. They've probably started shooting at one another.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> That does sound like the kind of thing the ORIA would do.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I could say it sounds like the kind of thing the Foundation would do. Don't you want to see what's out there? Isn't that why we're here? There's no sign of entry or exit here, and this doesn't seem like the kind of world where a precise sense of place matters.</p>
<p><em>Jo'rayeva looks out over the landscape.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> …Fine. We can explore. A little.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Excellent! Then I suggest we forage for what we can here, the-</p>
<p><em>The feed cuts out.</em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">And all around them, in the shadow, can you see? On the edges of the frame. Red eyes, staring, watching.</span></em></p>

<br/>
Director,
<p>I am writing to express, once again, my profound apologies for the events of last week. You may rest assured that the individuals responsible for firing on your troops have been disciplined. We presume you have done the same - after all, it was the Foundation who initiated hostilities.</p>
<p>Over the course of the last several years, I like to think you and I have formed a close working relationship. The Bagration Incident, the Burnt Mace Affair - these and other incidents have really helped create a productive and mutually beneficial environment in which both the Foundation and ORIA can flourish.</p>
<p>I would hate to see anything impair this relationship. Having spoken with the project leads on Operations 7, 12 and 16, I can confirm that our side remains 100% committed to the mandate. Cooperation is the <em>only</em> way forward, for both our organisations. We don't need to fall back into the suspicions of the recent past. This incident, though a setback, need not adversely affect our relations.</p>
<p>In that spirit, we strongly suggest that work on Unreclaimed Item 1555 - your SCP-8799 - continue, and that we resume our joint operations at the Sayyid Ali shrine. What little work we were able to undertake proved fruitful and rewarding, and I'm eager to get our missing personnel back to us. We've received some interesting data from Dr Sadr's feeds (although we've been unable to make contact) that we'd be happy to share with you, and I'm certain that, together, we'll be able to get them out of wherever they're trapped.</p>
<p>I await your reply with eagerness and interest.</p>
<p>Very best wishes,<br/>
Farhad Esfandiari</p>

<br/>
Farhad,
<p>Sorry for the late reply - it's been hectic over here, as ever. You saw what Site-19 is like from your visit the other year - I assure you, nothing's improved in that time.</p>
<p>I couldn't agree more - the maintenance of this relationship is paramount. Neither of us wants to go back to the old days - we enjoy doing business with you, and the stuff we've come up with together has been critical in advancing both our interests. We're absolutely still committed to all our other joint operations.</p>
<p>I've had a word with the O5s, and I'm afraid it's bad news - they're hesitant to resume operations with 8799. It's nothing bad - certainly nothing to do with your conduct, which has been impeccable - but there are some logistical concerns they have a few reservations about, and they're hoping we can get through to them here, as we have some advanced tech that might be able to help. Don't worry - we'll have Dr Sadr back in no time.</p>
<p>It's been great working with you on this - here's to many more such projects in the future.</p>
<p>Best,<br/>
Egon</p>

<p><strong>Log 2: 01/06/2023</strong></p>
<p><em><Begin Log></em></p>
<p><em>The camera opens on an open plain. It is similar in appearance to a Persian miniature painting, but this time it is reminiscent to Painting #21 in SCP-8799, an image of Rostam mourning for his son Sohrab identical to an image in a mid-17th century manuscript.</em></p>
<p><em>Agent Jo'revaya is walking side-by-side with Dr Sadr. Her face is dirty and bruised. A cut can be seen on her right cheek.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> You really should let me take a look at that.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> No.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I'm a doctor!</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Of science.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I have been in scrapes before, Nodira.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Agent Jo'rayeva.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> For goodness' sake, Nodira, we've been travelling together for -</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Wait!</p>
<p><em>Jo'rayeva abruptly stops. She points off-camera; Sadr turns to look. A figure is lying on the ground several yards away, also appearing in the style of the miniature painting.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> A person! Finally!</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Stay behind me. Keep sharp. Could be a trap.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> …As you say.</p>
<p><em>The two of them approach the figure. It is lying on a hillock, next to a stream on one side and a rock on the other. A knife can be seen stabbed into its chest. It is breathing heavily.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> Ros… tam?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Who are you?</p>
<p><em>Jo'rayeva begins to raise her weapon, but Sadr pushes it down.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Where's your training? This man is injured. He poses no threat.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> Why… do you look like… like paintings?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> What do you mean?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> You don't look… like people, you look like paintings…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> To us, you look like paintings.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> Ha… ha, of… course…</p>
<p><em>The figure coughs several times, spitting up blood. Sadr approaches and kneels down beside it.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> You're Sohrab, aren't you?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> Yes… you know my fame?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Millions do.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Sohrab?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Didn't you read the book?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I… didn't have time.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Well - Sohrab was the son of Rostam, the greatest hero of the epic. He was raised away from his father, who did not recognise him. He led an army to seize the throne for his father, but was stopped by the king's champion - Rostam. He killed his own son without realising it.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> Very… good. I am glad. Fame… fame is the only immortality we have…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Lie still. You'll be dead soon.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> No, I won't. And I… will, at the, the same time…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Don't try to talk.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> What do you mean?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> You think… I can die? None of us… can…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Us?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> Everyone left… in this world. Everything's burnt, you see, everything…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> And that - brings immortality?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> No, but it <em>burnt time too.</em></p>
<p><em>Nobody speaks for several moment.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Of course…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Don't say "of course" like you understand it.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> No, it makes sense. The world is burnt, sure, but we keep coming across disconnected scenes, scenes that took place across time, place, history. And nobody is in any of them… maybe they're elsewhere?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> No… they were burnt… all of them burnt. A sorceror, in a cloak of silver and fine silk… a spell, in the caverns of Mazanderan… they told me…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Who told you?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> They did… the madness, the madness, I can't see, I can't -</p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">Poor Sohrab. A fearless and peerless youth, a lion, who could not die but at his father's hand, for none other was great enough to fell him. And even then, only by trickery, for Sohrab nearly felled him in their second bout. But Rostam won in the end, and the throne was safe.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">And he lies there, as he should, forgiving his father, understanding his role in events. His life was leading towards this point; every act, every movement one way or the other, led him to this point. Sohrab was born to die; his father, unwittingly, conceived him to kill him. This is the purpose of Sohrab, the literary device, the character.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">Imagine that. Imagine being a literary character. Imagine the</span></em> <span style="color: blue">madness<em>.</em></span></p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> The king, in the mountain…</p>
<p><em>8799-Sohrab points towards a distant peak.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> You want to know, he will tell you… the king who vanished, they told me, he knows why…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> What king?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> Water, please… water…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> How long have you been here?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> No time at all… Rostam went to get help, realising… who I was, but… he will not return…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Why?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> He is burnt entire…</p>
<p><em>8799-Sohrab suddenly screams in pain.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Sohrab:</strong> I did not scream in pain… I remember a life, a straightforward life, my rebellion, my pride, my death… and now… I am here, I am in my mother's palace, I am leading my army, I fight with the woman Gordafarid, I… I am all these things, and it's all in my head, my <em>head</em>…</p>
<p><em>8799-Sohrab moans, and falls unconscious. Sadr stands up.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> What <em>happened</em> here?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I don't know. We should keep moving.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> We can't just leave -</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> We don't know who is or is not "burnt", as he put it. Come on, Parviz, we shouldn't linger. We don't know this place. We need to find somewhere sheltered for the night.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> The night? What night? It turns bright and dark at random.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Shut up and move.</p>

<p>The following report was sent to O5-9 from Director Egon Kohl on 03/06/2023.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It's been over two weeks now since the two agents disappeared. We received the second snippet of Dr Sadr's logs from our sources yesterday; it appears they've moved significantly from their earlier position. We do not know what, if anything, is driving them to act in such a reckless fashion; we can only assume the need for food, drink and shelter is forcing them from place to place. 8799-Sohrab appears to be the first "person" they've encountered since arriving in SCP-8799-1, but Agent Jo'rayeva still appears to be highly cagy.</p>
<p>We're still unsure about where or what this dimension is. We're pretty sure it's not the book, despite Dr Sadr's speculations - we've analysed it a hundred times, although without access to the shrine, it's difficult to tell. They're stuck in some demented version of the Shahnameh, with no way out.</p>
<p>With this in mind, I cannot stress enough the necessity of greenlighting Operation Flaming Sword. We need to know what the ORIA knows about this, and I can't believe they know nothing. This is their backyard; they must have spotted an unlootable lectern, must have known about the shadow world of Iran's national epic.</p>
<p>I know we've spent a lot of time on rapproachment - me more than anyone - but a setback can be rectified. Our agent's life cannot. She's not a D-Class, and we look after our own. Please reconsider.</p>
<p>~ Egon</p>

<p><strong>Log 3: 06/06/2023</strong></p>
<p><em>Jo'rayeva is sitting by a campfire on a slope next to a flowing river, staring into the fire. Sadr is lying on a primitive bedroll and looking at the river. The scene appears to be derived from Painting #7 of SCP-8799, of Rostam fighting a dragon during his quest in Mazanderan, but neither Rostam nor the dragon can be seen. The painting was identical to one from the 15th century Shahnameh of Ibrahim Sultan.</em></p>
<p><em>Sadr seems to shake himself and turns towards Jo'rayeva.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> So how come you've never read the Shahnameh?</p>
<p><em>Jo'rayeva sighs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> We're here to do a job, Parviz, and to get out. Let's stick to that.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Nodira, we're here for the - what's the phrase? The "long haul"? We must have <em>some</em> conversation. Rest assured that you are not my first choice, as we've been together for two weeks and you cannot muster anything better than "yes", "no" and "let's keep moving."</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Why would I have read the Shahnameh?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> You're Uzbek, aren't you?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I'm American.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> But your parents…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I'm adopted.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Ah.</p>
<p><em>There is a pause for several seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> So did they die, or…?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> What the <em>f</em>-</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Sorry! Sorry. I'm going a little, ah, "stir-crazy". I need to be able to talk.</p>
<p><em>Jo'reyava sighs again.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> My parents abandoned me when I was very young. I was adopted and raised by a Foundation researcher; I eventually joined it as an agent. I don't like to read the Shahnameh because I don't like to read anything that reminds me of my parents. My therapist thought it would be a good idea to take this assignment to "confront my baggage" about my origins. Are you happy now? Would you like my <em>entire</em> life history?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I am happy, yes. Thank you. You tell your therapist about the Foundation?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> They provided one.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Ah. How luxurious.</p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">She is lying. Her therapist thought it would be a bad idea for her to go. He was appointed by the Foundation itself to make sure she was combat-ready and capable. He didn't want her psyche disturbed. He wanted her to be the instrument the Foundation needed, not a fully actualised human.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">But you, Director, you wanted her, didn't you? Don't think she didn't notice. She saw the confidence and trust in his eyes. He wanted people who weren't afraid of the ORIA. And she wasn't. At first.</span></em></p>
<p><em>Several more seconds go by.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> So…</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> So?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> <em>So</em>, why did you join the ORIA?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> There's not much to tell.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Oh, come on. I told you about my life, now you tell me about yours.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Alright. I wanted to make a difference. I'd done some interesting research during my doctorate that came extremely close to the ORIA's understanding of reality alteration, and they thought I'd be a good fit. They explained who they were, summoned a <em>rokh</em> through the faultlines into our reality to show that they weren't cranks, and I joined right away.</p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">He is lying. He came to them. He wanted to know, more than anything. And he wants her to know. He wants her to understand the Shahnameh - not its stories, but its inner meaning, its context, all that she has come from. He wants her to see that those certain narratives and truths are frail, suspended, without foundation…</span></em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> How dull.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Not everything has to be exciting. What were you expecting?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Something else. Devotion. Undying loyalty to your fanatic cause.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Fanatic? Us?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> We all know the lengths the ORIA goes to. How many people have died in your experiments? You fuck around with anomalies like they're toys. You're reckless.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> How many people are alive because of us?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Alive? Who had the ORIA saved?</p>
<p><em>Sadr sits up and stares <span style="color: blue">hard</span> at Jo'rayeva.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> What do they tell you about us?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> That you're fanatics, Islamists, Marxists. You're determined to win at all costs, no matter how many die. I've seen your handiwork, at Tbilisi, at Konya. You're small-time but have managed to keep us out of your back garden through sheer grit.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Fascinating.</p>
<p><em>Sadr lies back down again.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> You know nothing of <a href="/reclamation">who we are</a>, of <a href="/lamb-of-god">what we suffer</a>. You know nothing…</p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">Parviz thinks of his friends, of Farhan's night terrors that he saw once, when they were both on an operation in Ashgabat, staking out a house in the dead of night, in the cold, in the dark. He heard him moan things in his sleep. He did not want to hear those things.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">He knows Nodira is speaking from a place of utter naivete; he does not judge her. But it stings, between his ribs, where it shouldn't sting. And Nodira, she thinks of the friends she has lost, eyes staring dead at the ceiling; this was not the ORIA's doing, but all enemies are one in her mind. She is still sitting on the fire escape in a New York apartment, the snow flaking down around her, falling in unseen patterns, hating her parents,</span></em> <span style="color: blue">hating <em>them, cultivating a thought and feeling that would wrap around her and consume her-</em></span></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I'm sorry.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Hm?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I don't really know what I'm talking about. I believe you.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> …Thank you. I appreciate that.</p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">And this, Director, is why I</span></em> <span style="color: blue">hate <em>you. You cannot see anything. Right as this was being recorded, where were you? In your office? Drinking whisky, or rum, or whichever spirit you take to "get through the night", or whatever it was?</em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">The ORIA is full of shattered men, broken men. So is the Foundation, but when they break, they fall into the abyss, into the sense of non-meaning it provides. You amnesticise them, you let them live out their days in material wealth. But the ORIA is different, isn't it? The ORIA believes in things. That's why they're a danger. That's why there's a threat. That's why, when we were sitting around that campfire and talking of our pasts, that irreversible gap springs up. To believe in anything is to be an unpredictable element. To be an unpredictable element is to be something to be shuffled out, to be shunted by an arrangement of puzzle pieces to slid you down alleyways and out until you fall, fall, onto the ground beneath.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">What stories do you tell yourself at night, Director? How do you justify your actions? The nobility of the Foundation? The inherent justice of your mission?

<p>The following is a summary from MTF-Beta-9 "Leonidas's Angels" concerning the ORIA's Facility 828 "Kaveh" after a field operation to scout the surroundings on 08/06/2023.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Entry</strong>: Four points identified. Point one: subterranean tunnel network has a weak point at R18 (see map for reference). A hole can be bored through between the two doors on the east side of the tunnel. Downside: will take a long time to reach the central compound, meaning longer time for potential discovery.</p>
<p>Point two: A blind spot in the camera network on the western fence, X12, allows uninterrupted entry to the compound wall. Downside: easily noticeable by guards, both when cutting through fence and entering via wall. Point three is similar, but for the southern fence. Possible these gaps are deliberate; do not underestimate deliberate attempts to bait entry.</p>
<p>Point four perhaps the most interesting. Potential links in their computer system may allow us entry using forged ID badges. This is the preferred option from our POV; unlikely that we will be noticed considering number of personnel that enter each day, and thanks to Cortez's team, forgery should not be an issue. Final decision in your hands.</p>
<p><strong>Infiltration:</strong> Should not pose a problem. Three information storage areas of interest identified; in sections Q12, R02 and G55. The first two are self-evidently accessible from point four; the latter may pose a minor problem getting past the inner security at L09, but at that stage termination will be an acceptable method.</p>
<p>Planting the explosives before they are able to notice or evacuate might be a more difficult issue. Information extraction should be easy; preventing them from finding what we stole will be trivial with a Przewalski cipher, but physical destruction of the base still necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Extraction:</strong> Rooftop vastly preferred; please secure this well ahead of time, as Command has often proposed unrealistic patterns of exit in past in absence of air support. Line of passage to roof trivial from all three storage areas.</p>
<p><strong>Prognosis:</strong> Good, provided we are supplied with the necessary resources <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ahead of time</span>. We are counting on you, director.</p>

<p><strong>Log 4: 15/06/2023</strong></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">It's time we spoke about the Shahnameh itself. I have read it; it is a beautiful text. I always used to listen to baroque music - my father used to play it all the time. He was a lonely man, and I still don't know what he got from it, but what I heard was a gilded cage. It's intricate, beautiful, but always falls back on patterns and forms which are routine, conventional; except that, when those patterns are broken, the fact of the breaking makes the pathos and catharsis so much more intense. It moves me far more than Tchaikovsky or Brahms ever could, when it's done right.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">The Shahnameh is much the same. There are repeated motifs, ideas; the king, his divine</span></em> <span style="color: blue">farr <em>or glory radiating from his face, the fact that only his line can rule despite his failings, the distributing of gold coins to the poor, the mammoth size and prowess of the champions. But then, within that framework, you have such ambiguity, such</em> feeling<em>; Sohrab's death, Zal's passion for Rubadeh, Feraydun and Kaveh's gathering of an army, Zahhak's binding, Iskander's search for truth, the vast face of the White Div as it rises from the pit…</em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">But that's my reading of it. What did I know? I am not Iranian; I am not from that part of the world. I only know the Shahnameh from my wanderings here, in this place. I don't know what it means to those raised with its stories, to a world using rhetoric and images and everything else based on it. I only see it through glass, the colours it produces, those colours of pain and sacrifice.</span></em></p>
<p><em>Jo'reyava and Sadr are in a tent. Dried blood can be seen on the ground. <span style="color: blue">Did you forget to say which painting it was copied from? I presume they're copies, or prophecies. It's from the Shahnameh manuscript of Isma'il II, a 16th century king who lasted two years before his vicious slaughter of his own family and his pro-Sunni tendencies saw him poisoned. Or at least, that's what the chroniclers say, who worked for other kings with other agendas. It's hard to say anything with any certainty.</span></em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Iraj's murder.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Parviz, you have to give me <em>some</em> context -</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Iraj was killed by his brothers. Fereydun, king of the world, had divided his land into three parts: the west for his eldest son, Salm; Turan, which is your parents' country, and China, for the middle son, Tur; and Iran and the Middle East for Iraj, the youngest. But Iran was the centre of the world, the real prize, so Salm and Tur raised an army to take it.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> And did they?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> No. Iraj did not care about the throne; he wanted only peace with his brothers. He went to them unarmed and said they were welcome to it. But Tur hated hearing this, and he struck his brother down and killed him.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> …Why did he hate hearing this?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Because Iraj's words shamed him, I suppose. I don't think it's made explicit.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> How sad.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><em>Sadr continues to stare at the blood.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> We ought to go.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Why? This tent is a good shelter for the elements.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> There's <em>blood on the floor</em>, Sadr.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Haven't you slept anywhere covered in blood?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Not if I can help it.</p>
<p><em>Sadr turns to look at Jo'rayeva.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Likewise. But sometimes you <em>can't</em> help it.</p>
<p><em>Sadr goes to the bed and lies down. Jo'rayeva sits on the bed next to him.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> You're in a funny mood.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I always liked Iraj. There was something so gentle about him. I thought, if I ever had a son, I'd name him Iraj.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> And did you?</p>
<p><em>Sadr does not respond.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> No wife? No girlfriend?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I am in the ORIA, Nodira. I can't think about things like that.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Why not? People in the Foundation have spouses, children.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> We are not the Foundation.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Now who's making you sound like fanatics?</p>
<p><em>Sadr gets off the bed and walks away, his back to Nodira. He stares at the blood again.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Sorry.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> It's OK.</p>
<p><em>There is a long pause.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Let's get some sleep.</p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">That night, as on many nights, Parviz got into a contemplative mood, and began to tell me stories of this world. He spoke of Feraydun, his three sons, the dragon and the king of Yemen; he spoke of Shirin and Khosrow, of Esfandiar, of the wars between Iran and Turan, Afrasyab and Kavus. His eyes sparkled; he moved brightly, expansively, making me laugh.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">The Shahnameh is not a simple collection of fairy stories; it is the matter of the Persianate world, a repository of its myths and legends. The stories were codified by Ferdowsi, but they predate him, exist around him, are told within families like our own legends. It belongs to it, is entwined with it. Kings and emperors have drawn their rhetoric, their sense of time from it; the Iranian people have shaped their identity from it. This world, this burnt world - it's like a twisted mockery of an entire people. This burnt paper, these painted skies…</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">I did not want to know these stories, but Parviz told them to me all the same. He wanted me to know them, to feel them. I think it meant something to him - some private reclamation of his own. I started to understand him, understand the contours of another world, a place I could have belonged to if…</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">I do not know what he was thinking, really. He told me bits and pieces, scraps, fragments, of who he was. But we did not have enough time. I remain suspended in that glass, looking out, trying to understand, but failing because of my own context.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">I wish we'd had more time.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">But time kept marching on, regardless of me. And that night, as we slept, our red-eyed friends gathered around, staring, watching.</span></em></p>

<p><strong>Esfandiari:</strong> Farhad here.</p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> Farhad! It's Egon.</p>
<p><strong>Esfandiari:</strong> Ah, hello, Egon. How are things over there?</p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> Wonderful, wonderful. I've got that progress report for Joint Operation 4 - the djinn, you know, in Kyrgyzstan? I'm amazed at how you fellows have managed to exploit their more slippery attributes.</p>
<p><strong>Esfandiari:</strong> It takes time. A bit of an art. Egon, can we talk about Sadr and Jo'rayeva?</p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> I…</p>
<p><em>Kohl sighs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> Look, you know I'd like to. But the O5s have said -</p>
<p><strong>Esfandiari:</strong> What have the O5s said, Kohl?</p>
<p><em>There is a pause for several seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> Did you know Sadr well?</p>
<p><strong>Esfandiari:</strong> Yes. He was… engaged. Vigorous. He <em>believed</em>, really believed, not just as a - as an abstract idea, you know?</p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> I might do.</p>
<p><strong>Esfandiari:</strong> Most of us, we know what the goal is - reclamation of our people's property, liberation against colonialism, all of that. But we usually suspend that for the day-to-day stuff. We have to kill, we kill, we're not thinking about liberation when we do. But Sadr, he'd think about it all the time. Constantly. It was a way of life to him. Do you get what I'm saying?</p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> I…</p>

<p><strong>Log 5: 23/06/2023</strong></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">We travelled light, by the end; I discarded my weapon, and Parviz exchanged his heavy clothes for something more suitable, a light leopard-skin we found, burnt and discarded, on the road. He said it probably belonged to Rostam. That disturbed him, I think; he was worried by the idea that Rostam was dead.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">We were travelling to the mountain the dying Sohrab had pointed out to us, where the "king who disappeared" could, he claimed, tell us why the world was burnt. We had nowhere else to go, and we'd been wandering for weeks. Nobody had come for us. It was difficult to find food, except in a handful of unburnt moments: the field of wheat where Rostam slept, after passing through the place of darkness; a palace, bedecked with fruits and wine. But so much of it was rotting.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">So we thought we'd find this king. We didn't think much would come of it. We trudged along the plain, limbs aching, minds dulled to a rhythmic thump of backwards and forwards, heading to our destination without even thinking about what it was any more. The sky was darkened with rain, a slow, sludging brown. Mud-caked our boots.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">And then we were climbing up, up, into the cold, into the snow, where five brave warriors tallied after the king left for the heavens, and died there, under the frost and ice. And we climbed further, and further, a mountain of utter desolation. I do not know how we made it - except that the logic of the place dictated that we would, broken though the world was.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">Finally, we reached the summit. And there, sitting on the ground, was -</span></em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Kay Khosrow!</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Hello.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> You're - it's been so long since we saw another person. Who was it, Nodira?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Mehrab, outside Kabul, wandering in circles forever, searching for his daughter, Rudabeh.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Yes! Yes, that was it. But you're here! And you speak! So few of them do that.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> No, I don't imagine they do.</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow takes a teapot and a two cups, and pours them out.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> You're the king of Iran?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> I was. I gave up that title - I did not want to fall prey to the same darkness of spirit, the loss of farr, that had afflicted so many of my forebears. Jamshid, Kavus, Afrasyab… kinds of pride, foolishness, wicked evil. No, I did not want that. So instead, I rose up into the sky, ascending to heaven.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> And yet you're here.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Yes. I came back again.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Why?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Because. Tea?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Please.</p>
<p><em>Jo'rayeva and Sadr each take a cup from 8799-Khosrow.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> How on earth did you get tea? That wouldn't be popular in Iran for centuries after Ferdowsi.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> You're not the first to visit me. A Frankish man, Callaghan, he gave me this. I have rationed it carefully. Things do not go stale here.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> How did Callaghan leave?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> I don't know. Maybe he didn't.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> You didn't see him?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> I saw him climb down the mountain. All else is speculation. Perhaps he found something in this world with enough reality to burn. Perhaps he burnt himself.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> But I know Callaghan survived. He died in our world.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> But how do you know your own mind? How do I know you are not lying? I could see him in the Cup of Scrying, but I have chosen not to.</p>
<p><em>There is a pause for several seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> What… what happened to this world?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> I burnt it.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> <em>You…?</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> I burnt it. I travelled down from heaven, in disguise, and headed to Mazanderan, spoke with the divs, and found a spell. I learnt sorcery from them. I burnt it.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> <em>Why…?</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Because of the madness.</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow pours a third cup, and takes a sip from it.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> What madness?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> When you were born, did you know your future? Not consciously, of course, but did you have a sense of its arc? Its inevitability?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I didn't have much of a sense of anything when I was born.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Precisely.</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow takes another sip.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> I was born to this world, with good and evil binding me together. I was ignorant, I was free to make my own decisions, but any decision I made had not only been planned out ahead of time, it had been planned out for the sake of the story. The story that was not abstract and vast, containing multitudes within it, but singular. Complex, but singular. I was a <em>piece of the narrative.</em> Do you know how maddening that is? That still is? Sohrab died because of pathos and irony, which would infect the whole world.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> So… so you destroyed it?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> No! Or, at least, I did not <em>just</em> destroy it.</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow sighs, stands up, and turns to look out over the plains.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> I had ascended into heaven. I watched the turning of the world. I watched Esfandyar, Rostam's death in the pit of poisoned spikes, Eskander the truth-seeker. I watched the times of myth fail and the Sasanians rise to power; I saw the end of the monarchy and the ascension of the pulpit, as Omar and Islam overtook the world. I saw it all. And I saw that it would never end.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> The poem ends.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Because of me. I burnt the world. I ensured that the narrative of good and evil would <em>stop</em>, or at least become hidden. A narrative in your world - is there one singular one? A singular good, evil, one way of doing things? Or are the hundred thousand perspectives within a single head capable of producing an infinity, enough fantasy to satisfy every taste?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> I… suppose.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Then my work has been fruitful. I burnt the world <em>to create your own.</em></p>
<p><em>There is a pause for several seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> You claim that you made our world?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> I do not claim, I <em>know</em>. I made that paradise you call home. This world, its stories, the flow of time itself, from Kayumars to Omar, became fuel. I burnt it all in one great conflagration, annihilating history, annihilating thought and memory, in an engine of creation, an act of <em>takwin</em> that dwarfs all things. I wrapped my arms in sorcery and magic from a single point in time and stretched it out, past and future, the big bang to the end of time. There was no sign of God in this world, except through fractured, unverifiable moments. You are my children. You exist for no reason beyond the whims of an ancient, maddened king.</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow turns around suddenly, staring at Sadr and smiling.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Now, what do you say to <em>that</em>?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I would say it's a… bold claim.</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow laughs.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Yes! You disbelieve! And I have no way of proving it, do I? But I assure you, I burnt the world.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> But this is a world in which God interferes directly, in which his presence and existence are established fact. How could you do such a thing if it went against His will?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Perhaps it was the will of God. He wanted this world gone as much as I; I simply acted as his conduit, his instrument.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Or perhaps what you saw as God was limited in his power.</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow's smile broadens.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Or perhaps your world made mine, and I simply believe I made yours, when all I did was create fire.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Or perhaps you did make it, but your world was also made in ours, where it is only a poem, like a chicken and egg.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Or perhaps neither of our worlds exist, but are a shared delusion.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Or perhaps both our worlds always existed, neither creating the other, only believing that one is a fantasy and the other reality.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Or perhaps I am lying, and another burnt the world.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Or perhaps this world was always burnt, and you only believe it was ever whole.</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow lies back, still smiling. Sadr walks over and looks down at him.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I have decided I do not like you very much, Kay Khosrow.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> I am sorry to hear that.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> If you did create our world, did you create Ferdowsi specifically to carry your poem?</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> No, but I let it creep into his mind. I did not control all creation; I simply made our world a shadow in it. The true narrative was handed to Ferdowsi, but all that he did was his own choice, the consequence of his life, his poetic nature, the tales and legends which stretched back in time and which he codified in a way that was, coincidentally, the exact truth.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> And what about the book?</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow frowns slightly.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> What book?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> The way we came here. The way all your visitors came here, probably. A book with moving pictures.</p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> Moving… no…</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow sits up and looks at Jo'rayeva.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> There was no book. Oh, little bits of the old magic snuck through, in <a href="/scp-3501">people</a>, <a href="/scp-3722">places</a>, <a href="/scp-2067">things</a>. But I know of no books with moving pictures. That sounds like… like something else…</p>
<p><em>8799-Khosrow smiles again.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-Khosrow:</strong> It is no matter. That is a matter for your world. I no longer concern myself with the affairs of it, or this one. I have done my duty. My reign is over, my last act of kingship finished. Go in peace.</p>
<p><em>Sadr stares at 8799-Khosrow for a long time, <span style="color: blue">in nothing but disgust. What other emotion could there be? Parviz Sadr, a man who believed, who truly believed, staring at a man who had broken the back of all belief, who had left them cold, alone. At least, if what he was saying was true, and he had burnt the world and made our own.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">But if he wasn't telling the truth, here was a man who had burnt the world for nothing. Here was a man who had engineered a situation in which all he had to do, forever, to feel like a moral being, was sit upon a mountaintop and smile, while possibility after possibility cascaded past his face. It was hard to convince Parviz to come down from that slope. I think he might have committed an act of violence.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">But at least he is not you, Director. Do you think I've missed how you've organised this document? I see what is about to come - you are going to detail Operation Flaming Sword, but from the point of view of Farhad, his emotions, from an email he sent that you recovered years later. Where is the efficiency in that? Why not give the Foundation's own report on the matter? And later, when you justify your final actions, your alchemical nightmare - this isn't to provide a clinical look at events, it is to justify yourself. Or unburden yourself, perhaps - it is all the same, in the end. Kay Khosrow did not free us from the burden and expectation of narrative; that was his fantasy. He just made us slaves to a thousand, clashing, striking, hurting one another in a desperate desire to assert a single way of being on the world -</span></em></p>

<strong>Subject:</strong> Kaveh</p>
</div>
<p>Behzad,</p>
<p>I have been to the Kaveh facility. It's as Isma'il reported. 57 personnel dead, no sign of who it was, no way of identifying what they took. The place is a smoking ruin.</p>
<p>I've talked to the families of the deceased - some of them, anyway. Mohammed Jahandar has done the rest. I've never got used to it. You walk in, you say some simple words in a clipped and straightforward way, and wreak unspeakable damage to them. The only reason to do it is knowing that the damage from not knowing, from waiting night after night for your wife or husband or parent to return, is so much worse, will end up wrecking them from the inside out. It's like cauterising a wound, or chopping off a leg; an act of violence inflicted to prevent further violence.</p>
<p>I don't know why they've done this. We all know who did this. Egon did not bother to cover his tracks; he <em>wanted</em> us to know. And it's quite clear what they wanted to take, too; the alchemical experiments concerning the Shahnameh dimension, the burning of the clouds. But they still killed 57 people.</p>
<p>I do not understand the Foundation. I have killed. I have committed acts of brutality. I have been ruthless, mocking, callous. I have done things deliberately to hurt people in the right way, in the right place and time. I have tortured people, and been tortured. I have never seen anything like this - deliberate, and purposeless.</p>
<p>What was Egon thinking? Why can I not get into his mind? I picture him there, in New York, in his office, drinking Scotch whisky, stretching, refreshing his emails while our people scream and die on his orders. It's a banal image - look at the one who inflicts suffering, look at his uncaring heart! - but I can't stop it. Is this how they think? The ones we kill?</p>
<p>What does Egon care for any of this? It's just a book to him. It's fairy stories. He doesn't see how they're <em>our</em> poems, does he? He doesn't see anything as ours.</p>
<p>I'm sorry for writing like this. I just can't get over it.</p>

We found ourselves crossing great mountains, more for the hell of it than anything else. My clothes began to rip and tear, so I exchanged them for fine, rugged robes, suited to this place. I would stand at the top of the Alborz's peaks and look down at Iran, this vast Iran, bigger than any country could or should be in our world, where it is one country among many. And all I saw, between sparks of colour, was the ash, ringing us all around.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">We entered a cave in a mountainside. Parviz was not talking that day. He'd been sick, coughing, over and over again. His face was pale. I wanted to reach out, but…</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">And then we reached the pit. Parviz stopped, staring down at it. And all at once, slowly, inexorable, a white claw arose from it. Parviz gasped and stepped back; I slung my makeshift bow from my shoulder and aimed it high, safe in the knowledge that a single arrow, in the right moment, was all that was needed here. But even I quaked and knelt in fear.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">The thing that emerged had a form similar to a human, but with horns, a tail, a monstrous face. But that was not the source of the terror. It was</span></em> <span style="color: blue">vast<em>, more like a mountain, its muscles huge and pale like chalk, almost sickly but ballooned to absurd proportions. Its throat was a passage for roars, and then it</em> uncurled <em>itself, its limbs moving like tubes and vines popping and spitting over themselves, its eyes burning hot and red and black, and it opened its mouth before us and -</em></span></p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> You should not be here.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> You… you're the White Div…</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> And you should not be here.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Are you going to kill us?</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> I can't. Did I kill you in the story? No. You were not in that story. I fought with Rostam here, the two of us matched together like vipers of one brood, and he killed me. Do you know how? Do you know why?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> He… he swore he would live forever… with such boldness, such brightness…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> And you, with your leg severed off, knew that your authority was gone, even if you survived. You despaired.</p>
<p><em>8799-White laughs.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> The little one is learning. You have been telling her stories?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> How… what do you know of us?</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> I know what my divs have told me.</p>
<p><em>All around, a series of <span style="color: blue">red eyes blink, stare, seize, laugh. They are watching. They have been watching the whole time.</span></em></p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> You know what a div is, don't you?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> A demon.</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> Yes. And we are well-versed in the ways of sorcery. We are allies, in this world, to wicked kings; we offer terror, fear, death, rendering men asunder, but also temptation, power, strange magics. We are multifaceted and multifarious and almost always wicked. That is not our fault; it is our role in affairs.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Yes. I know. Nobody here has free will.</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> Do you? All your affairs are predestined too, by God or by events, cause and effect.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> But that doesn't mean anything. I still feel the things I do.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> We still make decisions for ourselves.</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> Yes. You do. Tell me, little ones, why are you here?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I don't know.</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> Did you want me to kill you?</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Parviz?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> No, nothing like that.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Then what?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I just…</p>
<p><em>Sadr sits down on the floor. Jo'rayeva moves over and places a hand on his shoulder.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Is Khosrow telling the truth? Did he create our world?</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> I do not know. But he is right that he burnt this one. He came to us to learn the ways; ungodly ways, wicked ways. Perhaps this world was already starting to collapse.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Why should we believe you?</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> Because Kay Khosrow, the good and wise king, burnt the world. If that is what he is willing to do, where else can you go but his inverse? The horrific monster, the White Div, general of the king of Mazanderan, the demon of the pit? If he makes no sense, perhaps I will.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> And do you have any sense to give me?</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> Concerning what?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Any of this!</p>
<p><em>Sadr stands up, shouting.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Any of this! We have been taken from one world to another, resembling a storybook! A man within it claims that we are <em>his</em> storybook, and this is the real world! I want to know what's real and what isn't!</p>
<p><em>There is a pause for several seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> What do you think is real?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I…</p>
<p><em>Sadr begins coughing extensively. Jo'rayeva moves to him and <span style="color: blue">holds on to him</span> and begins rubbing his back.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Stop it! Stop hurting him!</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> I'm doing nothing.</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Then what's causing it? He's been like this for -</p>
<p><em>Sadr stops coughing, breathing heavily.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I'm fine. I'm - I'm fine.</p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> This world is not a fantasy, Parviz Sadr. I am made of flesh and blood, bound to an idea that is not my own. It is the poet's, or it is God's, or it is the burning designs of Kay Khosrow. But in your world, I am a fantasy, a form, a children's tale or a work of literature. Did you know my skull was once held by the Foundation? But not any more. Now, it never existed at all.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8799-White spreads its arms outwards.</em></p>
<p><strong>8799-White:</strong> I am a thing of terror and the dark. And had you never come here, had no visitors ever crossed the threshold, you would have been a fantasy to me; a world where God is silent, or where he speaks through more subtle paths.</p>
<p><em>Sadr is silent for several seconds, staring at 8799-White.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> What does this mean? What does <span style="color: blue">any of this mean?</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">That was what Sadr couldn't figure out. That was what plagued him. His was a simple world. He knew his enemies, his friends; his comrades, his weaknesses, his people. He saw mankind as redeemable, and him and the ORIA as the ones to do it, overthrowing the oppressor, reclaiming what was lost, establishing justice in the land. The divine</span></em> <span style="color: blue">farr <em>radiated out of him, that royal charisma from which all that was good in the world shone.</em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">Maybe he was right to struggle in this way. Maybe something could have been done. Maybe he could have improved reality, this world, this everything. But we'll never know, will we, Director? Because we both know why he was coughing. We both know what you did.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">How could you do it to a man like that? I want to scream and spit at you. I want to come to your house, stretch out my hand, and rip your eyes from their sockets. I want to cast you into a pit of snakes, I want to bind you with chains beneath Mount Damavand until the end of time. I want to bring you before me, exiled like Jamshid, miserable and alone. I want you captured and bound and killed like Nowzar. I want the divs to enact their revenge.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">Perhaps, now, they will.</span></em></p>

<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> I know you're there. You picked up. Answer me, will you?</p>
<p><em>There is no response.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> I'm sorry, OK? I'm sorry. I liked you - I still like you. We worked well together. But the Foundation, it has to come first. It's not like you haven't killed just as many of us. It's not like…</p>

<p><em>There is no response.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> It had to be done <em>right</em>. I had to <em>try</em> to cover up our tracks, I had to - the Foundation has procedures. It has rules. We know what you are, how you think. We're the ones keeping the world safe, we're the ones who put our lives on the line - did you think that was just a story to us?</p>
<p><em>There is no response.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> We needed your information. And we can - I can get them back, now! Or - I can get one of them back, at any rate. I have it, Farhad, I have it. The way to burn things in their world, to make fuel for magic. They'll come home. I promise. They'll come home…</p>

<p><strong>Log 7: 12/07/2023</strong></p>
<p><em><Begin Log></em></p>
<p><em>Sadr and Jo'rayeva are walking across a desert. They are approaching a tree, with two entwined trunks. Sadr is being supported by Jo'rayeva; he appears unwell, and is coughing frequently.</em></p>
<p><em>They reach the tree. Jo'rayeva lowers him to the ground, looking at him with concern. Sadr looks up at the tree.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> The talking tree…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> What's its story?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> You don't… need… to make me talk, Nodira, I'm quite alright, I won't… I'll be OK…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Just tell it to me. Please.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> It's not just… about stories…</p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">It wasn't. I saw this world entire, now; its burnt pages, its paper skies. It was just matter. The Shahnameh is more than that. It's something intangible, the matter of nations, an anchor for identity and memory, a memory I never had. But you, director, can just see pages, words, a thing to be used.</span></em></p>
<p><em>Sadr spends several seconds coughing. Jo'rayeva sits next to him and holds him until he is finished.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> That's better… Sekander was a conqueror, but also a truth seeker. Near the end… of his life, he came here, and spoke to the tree. It only spoke at certain times of day, it had a male trunk and a female trunk and it told him of his death…</p>
<p><em>The tree begins to move. Several of its branches reach out to Jo'rayeva. She moves back, surprised, but not apparently distressed; she moves a hand, and the branches follow it.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> That's not in the poem… you have a way with trees…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> How can you have a way with trees?</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> You tell me…</p>
<p><em>Sadr begins coughing again. Jo'rayeva turns towards him.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Please don't go. I couldn't - I can't stand it, Parviz, I can't survive without-</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Yes, you can… you don't need me… you're a person. You'll be OK. Thousands of people are OK, every day…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Tell me about Kerman again.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I've told you twice already…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Tell me again! Tell me about your siblings.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> It doesn't matter… it's so hot inside….</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Please, just keep talking.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> Why? Who will… it benefit, besides you? No, no, the Div was wrong, Khosrow was wrong, he… this tree, it marks the edge of the world, you know? And what's beyond it but black desert, stretching on forever? No, no, they were wrong. There are beginnings, there are ends, there are revolutions…</p>
<p><em>He coughs again, but waves Jo'rayeva away.</em></p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> And then there are the other things! The ones you stole, your Foundation! The picture books, the swords, the bejewelled Qu'rans, we could have reclaimed them, reclaimed them all.. Farhan and I, staking out those people for a month, in Bukhara…</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> You told me it was Ashgabat.</p>
<p><strong>Sadr:</strong> I don't remember, I… why don't I remember? Was that burnt too, I… I can't… I…</p>
<p><em>Sadr screams, and writhes on the floor; black smoke emerges from his mouth, before <span style="color: blue">the moment you'd been waiting for, Director. A fire burst from his chest, framing an image; your image, but you were real, a person, not a painted thing. The world behind you was real too. And you were smiling, relieved, stretching your arms out to me, but the fire was painted, it was still of this world, and I scrambled back, horrified…</span></em></p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> Nodira! Come on! The portal won't last long!</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> What… what have you done to him?</p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> We had to burn something! Please! He was the only thing that would still burn!</p>
<p><strong>Jo'rayeva:</strong> Stop it! Stop it now!</p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> He's ORIA, Nodira! He's one of them, but we can still save y -</p>
<p><em><span style="color: blue">And I took my bow from my shoulders, and I screamed, and I shot an arrow through the portal. It hit you in the arm, and you just stared at me, your eyes wide, your mouth open, uncomprehending -</span></em></p>
<p><strong>Kohl:</strong> Nodira?</p>
<p><em>The portal disappears. Sadr screams once more, and expires. Jo'rayeva screams again, removes Sadr's earpiece and camera, and smashes them to pieces. The feeds cut out.</em></p>

<blockquote>
<p><span style="color: blue">So, Director, what did we learn? A story should have a moral. It is how they're meant to end.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue">Did you learn that you were a hero, that the Foundation is always right? I see you, in my mind's eye, your drunken late-night phone calls, your anger that you cannot understand. I hope your tragedy was worth it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue">The poet Ferdowsi wrote that this world is fleeting, and all that remains is our fame, our good reputation. Everything else dies. Kay Khosrow learnt that this was wrong, that meaning is infinite, multiplicitous, a painful search possessing precious worth. He created History. Was he right? Could he ever be right? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue">Parviz, now, he had a <em>real</em> trial. He believed in justice, in a redeemable world. He believed in the toppling of empires and the casting down of kings; and all of this was challenged, by a burnt and broken world. Perhaps he learnt the abyss of nothing. Perhaps he was confirmed in his views, strengthened by the trial. Perhaps he would have saved the world. Perhaps he learnt to love me back.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue">But we won't know, now. Because you killed him.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue">What is there left for me to learn? All of you, your little fantasies, of reality and narrative and justice, and I sit here, by this tree, alone and in pain. You hurt me, Director. I saw a world beyond your confines and you hurt me for trying to reach it. You killed Parviz, and tried to stuff me in your box again.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue">The red-eyed divs have come to me. They taught me to control the living trees. They have taught me how to burn for power. They will teach me how to re-enter this world. And they have taught me to reach into another’s words and twist the pages to my will.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue"><a href="/scp-140">Didn't we used to have a word for that?</a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue">History may be Khosrow's fantasy. It may not be. I know not what is and is not real beyond the exercise of power. And I intend to exercise power. I will punch a hole in time, in memory, in space. I will burn and reave and sacrifice and claw, because I have nowhere else to turn, no narrative to cling to. And at the end of it all, director, I will have my revenge on you. If it takes ten thousand years.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: blue">These paintings blare bright colour at me, reds, greens, yellows, golds; they sing in times gone, times to come, times that could be. They wave at me from across the page, these bright, man-made sirens. But I learn nothing from them. I understand nothing.</span></p>

Analysis of the footage indicates that the ORIA have been experimenting with technology replicating the mental patterns of the djinn, a species who only exist in a non-material plane; this is believed to have prevented the total cutoff of Dr Sadr's feed.

<p>A partial Lifted Veil Scenario was declared shortly after the occurrence of SCP-8800 – in cooperation with the Global Occult Coalition – primarily focused on addressing and resolving global satellite communication failures. All rocket launches have been delayed until further notice. Efforts to re-establish communications with facilities and installations outside the Earth's atmosphere are ongoing.</p>
<h3 id="toc1"><span>Description</span></h3>
<p>SCP-8800 is an anomalous event occurring on 29th September, 2023, in which the Earth's atmosphere spontaneously assumed exotic geometries, resulting in all physical matter becoming unable to cross the Karman Line.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> All attempts to reach higher altitudes cause the travelling object to reappear elsewhere within the atmosphere at an inverted trajectory.</p>
<p>Presently, only sunlight has been observed to be able to penetrate SCP-8800, as the apparent motion of the Sun continues without aberration.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> Conversely, the Moon, planets, and stars have not been observed since the occurrence of SCP-8800, as well as communications from all satellites, space stations, and other offworld facilities.</p>

<p>The Foundation and other normalcy organizations were notified of SCP-8800's occurrence after a SpaceX satellite launch spontaneously reappeared over the Korean Peninsula, where it was shot down by US surface-to-air missile installations in Incheon. While the United Nations successfully averted the resumption of the Korean War with assistance from the GOC, the trajectory of the launch and the disappearance of all night sky objects prompted the declaration of a partial Lifted Veil scenario.</p>
<p>Subsequent incidents related to SCP-8800 were fortunately less significant. Aside from mundane civilian protests, there were several documented cases of GoIs and PoIs attempting to capitalize off the partial Lifted Veil scenario. The most notable of which was the sale of illegal esoteric drugs to members of the Baltimore Flat Earth Truthers Society, who had to be rescued from an outlaying equilibrium point in the stratosphere after they floated up there to check if the Earth was a flat circle this time.</p>
<p>Multiple non-anomalous phenomena arising from the influence of SCP-8800 was also observed. Geomagnetic anomalies transmitted along the exotic geometries of the atmosphere heavily disrupted the behaviours of animal populations, leading to out-of-season migrations towards ephemeral false-magnetic-poles.</p>
<h3 id="toc3"><span>Addendum II — Transmissions Archive</span></h3>
<p>SCP-8800 abruptly ceased on 8th November 2023, during which telecommunications systems worldwide suffered from catastrophic overload. The source of this incident was identified as a massive backlog of information and data transmitted towards Earth being received all at once, despite technological limitations on relevant infrastructure. An unmanned satellite launched shortly after confirmed the dissolution of exotic geometries as it successfully entered Low Earth Orbit. SCP-8800 was henceforth reclassified as Neutralized.</p>
<p>Transmissions of extraplanetary origin received after the onset of SCP-8800 are currently being decrypted, organized, and archived by Foundation AICs. Excerpts from this rapidly expanding archive with inferred relevance<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> to SCP-8800 are attached below.<br/></p>

<p>This is Comm. Tech. Kaugenbach, reporting from Lunar Site-01.</p>
<p>I have been assigned to prepare updates for Foundation personnel back on Earth, and will be transmitting this message on all SCiPnet channels with the understanding that an anomalous incident, tentatively designated SCP-8800, has compromised the Foundation's earthside communications capabilities.</p>
<p>It has been one week since the approximate occurrence of SCP-8800. Lunar Foundation administration voted in favour of implementing Lifted Veil protocols last night, although this only amounts to informing the crew of the ISS and Tiangong Space Station — a total of 10 people — of the existence of our lunar facilities and current state of affairs. Provisions for both mundane space stations should last for the duration of the mission periods, with additional supplies being organized from Foundation facility stockpiles if emergency resupply is needed.</p>
<p>Investigative efforts regarding the current state of Earth are ongoing. A leading theory is that SCP-8800 is some form of temporal stasis having "frozen" the planet, although there is little we can do at present to test this. Fortunately, SCP-8800 has seemed to only affect Earth below the Karman Line. Our outposts and space stations within Earth's system and around other planets remain unaffected, and have also been briefed on the situation.</p>
<p>This concludes the update.</p>

<div class="skip_box terminal" data-title="Lunar Site-01, Moon — 29/10/2023">
<p>Good morning Earth, are you receiving us?</p>
<p>This is Comm. Tech. Kaugenbach, reporting from Lunar Site-01. It has been a month since the occurrence of SCP-8800, and we've yet to hear back from Earth since.</p>
<p>The Daedalus Protocol has been initiated. The Lunar Sites are currently drafting outlines for expansion and infrastructure development. In some cases, above and beyond the restrictions pertaining to the maintenance of the Veil, although that really isn't important anymore.</p>
<p>The crew members of the two civilian space stations have agreed to cooperate with us for the time being, given that their governments are functionally non-existent now. They're our closest eyes on Earth for the duration of their respective missions, after which they'll be ferried over to one of the Lunar Sites. We're still shortlisting their replacements.</p>
<p>We still have no idea what happened to Earth. A probe was launched towards the planet earlier today. It disappeared upon entering the atmosphere and reappeared on the other side. It's still oscillating back and forth. Lunar Site-05 suspects its a spatio-temporal anomaly, the consensus at -03 is that it's a hole in local reality, and -11 is trying to reconcile the two hypotheses. The rest of us are busy with carrying out the Daedalus Protocol.</p>
<p>I realize that not everyone who will be able to receive this broadcast will have the necessary clearance for Daedalus Protocol documentation, but the idea is that even if Earth is lost, humanity will continue to reach for the heavens.</p>
<p>The original Protocol saw mass evacuations to offworld sites, an exodus into space in escape of a dying world. But there's no one to evacuate. There is only us, little more than a thousand human beings scattered across the Solar System. We're all that's left.<br/>
<br/>
I pray this won't be the case forever.<br/>

<p>Good morning Earth, are you receiving us?</p>
<p>This is Comm. Tech. Kaugenbach, reporting from Lunar Site-01. We're approaching the one year anniversary of the occurrence of SCP-8800. Still no progress on bringing you guys back, unfortunately. We have at least 15 probes hovering through the planet, beaming back inconsistent telemetry and a grand total of zero replies from Earth.</p>
<p>Not sure if I should be proud of this, but the Veil has technically fallen. The 10 civilians we retrieved have since joined our ranks, so technically, the Veil has been rendered moot. We've expanded our operations to the space stations, and we're planning to launch more as observation outposts. Looking into the possibility of rotating habitats near Earth, but that's a bit far off for now, seeing as we're barely self-sufficient.</p>
<p>We do have a few Thaumiel-class objects up here making our lives easier, although we're working to diversify our food source since the ectoentropics we have up here don't scale up much. Did you know the Martian sites have already figured out how to grow potatoes in air bubbles on the bare Martian surface? But I digress, our lava tube farms here on the Moon turn out better yields. They say we'll be able to phase out reprocessed cake sludge within the next year or two. Can't wait.</p>

<div class="skip_box terminal" data-title="Lunar Site-01, Moon — 04/03/2032">
<p>Good morning Earth, are you receiving us?</p>
<p>Comm. Tech. Kaugenbach, again. At this point they ought to just make me an official Earth Liaison or something of the sort. In any case, things are changing up here.</p>
<p>We've finally moved out of the critical initial phases of the Daedalus Protocol. Every major facility on the Moon is now entirely self-sufficient — our food security is rock solid, power has never been an issue, and our material resources are now sourced in-house or from captured asteroids. Life has become much more comfortable for the average Lunarian. Oh, right. We've started calling ourselves that. Honestly, I prefer the term Selenites, but the naming vote was won by the Lunarian camp. Tragic.</p>
<p>In the case of some Sites, we've begun focusing on population growth. Organically, at that. None of that hominid replicator nonsense. Long term parental leave and some really good postnatal care can do wonders. Most of the heavy lifting is done by drones and AICs regardless, so we've all got more free time nowadays. In fact, my wife and I are expecting — we're still butting heads over who gets to name the kid. May the stronger mother win.</p>
<p>But enough about me. In terms of updates on SCP-8800, we're still not seeing anything we can act on. The Earth is there, always has been, but we can't enter its atmosphere or interact with it at all. Like a mirage, shimmering on the horizon but always out of reach. Some of us have begun accepting that Earth may not be returning anytime soon. We actually stopped transmitting official progress reports to earthside some time back, but not me.</p>
<p>I'll be here waiting, no matter what.</p>

<h3 id="toc6"><span>Addendum III — Post-Neutralization Exploration</span></h3>
<p>Multiple attempts to establish contact with offworld infrastructure were made shortly after SCP-8800 ended, although none were successful, being met with complete radio silence. A survey of the Solar System was conducted to evaluate its current state and locate key personnel who were offworld for the duration of SCP-8800. An abridged log of their findings is attached below. Personnel with sufficient clearance may apply for access to the full database <a href="javascript:;">here</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Analysis of stellar drift indicates the current time outside Earth being approximately 1714 years after the last transmission.</li>
<li>Several hundred settlements were found on the Moon, both located within lava tube tunnels and on the surface. Advanced thaumaturgic wards protect and reinforce these structures from the elements, with an estimated population capacity of several hundred million people. Some of these structures are visible from Earth at certain times, when sunlight is reflected off the towers of surface settlements.</li>
<li>Urban sprawl was observed on Venus and Mars, which have been terraformed to possess atmospheres conducive to life, vast oceans, and extensively greened surfaces. A large collection of anomalous objects have been used to achieve this, the majority of which are wholly unknown to the Foundation.</li>
<li>Tens of thousands of space stations were discovered. These were located at various points of orbit around the Sun, ranging from habitats closer to the Sun than Mercury to outposts scattered throughout the Kuiper Belt. The largest such station discovered is comparable in size to the dwarf planet Ceres, which itself is a hollowed out settlement.</li>
<li>Foundation insignia were found to be present on structures identified as administrative centres and buildings, as well as conventional Sites and Areas. Recovered documents confirm that the Foundation, or a successor organization, serves as the governing body of the Solar System. Administration of individual planets and moons is delegated to satrapies, while interplanetary space was governed by khedives of major space stations.</li>
<li>Earth was surrounded by a large fleet of advanced spacefaring vessels, all of which were identifiable as Foundation spacecraft by their insignia. Further investigations indicate all 400,000 vessels were primed to engage with an unidentified threat, but did not enter combat. Notably, all turrets, cannons, and armaments were aimed away from the planet, and into empty space.</li>
<li>No signs of animal life have been detected within the Solar System outside of Earth's atmosphere.</li>
<li>All offworld communications terminals display the identical transmission of uncertain origin, attached below:</li>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8801 is to monitor its subject until further notice.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8801 is an abstract monitor object<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> created by the Department of Applied Metaphysics for use in data collection and espionage. SCP-8801 is capable of capturing experiential snapshots of a subject and their environment. Snapshots captured by SCP-8801 are brief and objective, and are stored digitally. The monitor object is currently undergoing preliminary testing prior to deployment. The test subject, a civilian human male designated SCP-8801-1, has been implanted with SCP-8801 since embryonic development.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8801.1:</strong> Project Update</p>
<p>On 19/10/2017, SCP-8801 reported that SCP-8801-1 suddenly ceased to exist, and initiated emergency shutdown. The original schematics of SCP-8801, as well as all snapshots captured by the monitor object, have subsequently undergone mild data corruption. A preliminary investigation found that SCP-8801-1 is currently alive and in ordinary condition. The cause of the breakdown is under analysis and data recovery operations are underway.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8801.2:</strong> Recovered Snapshots</p>
<p>The following snapshots have been recovered and translated into English by Juno.aic. Corrupted data is intentionally blanked out.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Date: / / 99</strong><br/>
A transducer is applied over the belly. It is above SCP-8801-1. The transducer has three important outputs:</p>
<p> 1) Heart rate (130 BPM)<br/>
2) Weight (290g)<br/>
3) Chromosomes (23rd pair)</p>
<p>SCP-8801-1 is given a name.</p>
</blockquote>

<div class="scp-image-caption show"><tt>Fig. 1.1:</tt> Object recovered from the on-site apartment of Dir. Nike Greaves. Reflective surface rendered non-functional after the appearance of SCP-8804. Engraved on the inside of its frame are the words, "<strong><tt>THE PANTOMIME</tt></strong>".</div>
</div>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>DESCRIPTION:</strong> SCP-8804 is a molecular genetic replication of Nike Grieves, Director of Sciences at Site-19. It is functionally alive, with a steady heartbeat and breath. To date, it has made no attempts at movement or speech and displays no higher brain functions.</p>
<p>SCP-8804 was discovered on the night of July 29, 2012, prone on the floor of Grieves’ personal quarters at Site-19. The exact cause of its manifestation is presently unknown, but it is believed to be an isolated incident.</p>
<p>At the time of acquisition, the entity appeared as Grieves did on the night of the 29th, wearing loose-fitting clothing and housing an implanted identification chip in its right thigh and left bicep. Genetic samples from both SCP-8804 and Grieves, including skin, hair, and fluids were identical. A small laceration on the left palm, which Grieves had suffered while working the week prior, also manifested on the entity.</p>
<p>Prior to SCP-8804’s discovery, Grieves recorded the following video on his standard-issue mobile device.</p>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p><em><strong>[Video Start]</strong></em></p>
<p><em>[Grieves sits in the dark, illuminated by his mobile phone screen. He rubs his eyes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> Okay. Well. I’m recording this at… does that say three?</p>
<p><em>[Grieves glances to the side of the recording.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> Okay, three in the morning. It’s, um, July 29. I’m sitting on my bed, in my apartment at Site-19.</p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> I just had the weirdest dream. I’m recording this so I don’t forget because it gave me just… the strangest feeling.</p>
<p><em>[Grieves rubs his face with one hand.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> It was like those dreams I used to have when I was a kid. Aldith, uh, my psychologist, knows. If he ever sees this. He knows.</p>
<p><em>[Grieves laughs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> Those dreams, yeah. I’d almost forgotten about them, it’s been so long. Anyway, I guess I should explain the dream. I was back in my childhood bedroom. I wake up, for some reason. There’s a noise, or I have to pee. I don’t know. I’m maybe five or six. My bedroom door’s open, and how my house is set up if you walk from my bedroom straight down the hallway, you get to my mom’s room. In the dream, I sit up in bed and I look down the hall.</p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> My mom had this connected bathroom, and I can see that the bathroom light is on, and I hear a noise. I think it’s the shower. I get out of bed, real slow. I don’t know why I’m moving so slow.</p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> I start to walk down the hall, towards the light. I can kind of see steam in the air, from the shower. I walk, trance-like, down the hall, sort of transfixed on the sound. I can’t do anything else except walk along this track.</p>
<p><em>[Grieves leans back and disappears into the darkness of the room. He takes a sip from a glass on the nightstand and returns to the light from the phone.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> When I get to my mom’s room, I turn to the bathroom. And I can see movement from behind the door. The steam’s really heavy now. Thick. I reach forward very, very slow. Grab the doorknob, twist it. Push it open.</p>
<p><em>[Grieves grows quiet.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> I step inside, and there’s no one there. The shower’s running but it's empty. God, it’s so vivid. I remember being confused, and I look around for my mom. She should be here, she should be here, I keep thinking. Then I look in the mirror, above the sink.</p>
<p><em>[Grieves stares absently for several seconds.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> My face… it’s all… I can’t remember it exactly, but it’s wrong. I can’t recognize my reflection. Then there’s this wave of nausea and my legs just give out completely. I fall hard, backward. When I hit the floor I remember seeing something standing above me. Just this sort of shape with a head and shoulders. I can’t describe it any other way. It’s not my mom.</p>
<p><em>[Grieves puts his head in his hand and exhales.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GRIEVES:</strong> Anyway. Hope this can be of some help in our next session, Aldith. I’ll try to get some sleep now.</p>
<p><em>[Grieves fumbles for a moment before ending the recording.]</em></p>
<p><em><strong>[Video End]</strong></em></p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<p>Following this, Grieves slept an additional four hours before being awoken by an unrelated phone call by Site personnel. Grieves describes waking up to his phone ringing and, upon rolling over to answer it, noticed SCP-8804 lying prone at the foot of the bed. Grieves claims he was paralyzed momentarily from the shock of discovering the entity, which he thought to be an intruder. Upon waiting and seeing no movement, he called Site Security per standard protocol.</p>
<p>Agents arrived shortly after, escorting Grieves out and securing the room. SCP-8804 was noticed to be visually identical to Grieves and suspected anomalous in origin. It made no effort to respond to verbal commands by Agents, and it did not resist detention.</p>
<p>SCP-8804 was escorted to a secure cell in Humanoid Containment, where it was then interviewed. Recording is as follows.</p>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>[Begin Log]</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>INTERVIEWER (INT):</strong> Can you hear me?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8804:</strong> <em>[No response.]</em></p>
<p><strong>INT:</strong> Do you know where you are?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8804:</strong> <em>[No response.]</em></p>
<p><strong>INT:</strong> Do you know who you are?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8804:</strong> <em>[No response.]</em></p>
<p><strong>INT:</strong> Is your name Nike Grieves?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8804:</strong> <em>[No response.]</em></p>
<p><strong>INT:</strong> <em>(To attendants)</em> Picking up anything? Nothing on cognitives? Make sure it’s tight enough around its forehead. Yes, like that. <em>(To SCP-8804)</em> Can you feel this?</p>
<p><em>[Interviewer taps SCP-8804’s right hand with a pen. No response.]</em></p>
<p><strong>INT:</strong> <em>(To attendants)</em> What about life signs? Solid? Really? Run a cognition scan again. <em>(To SCP-8804)</em> We’re running our equipment now to figure out what you are. If you can hear me, this won’t hurt. Trust me.</p>
<p><em>[CRV machine cycles one full rotation. SCP-8804 scores 0.776 on a Veber Cognitive Scale, well below the threshold for sentience. SCP-8804 gives no reaction to the electrical pulses of the CRV machine’s scan.]</em></p>
<p><strong>INT:</strong> <em>(To attendant)</em> I’m ordering another barrage of tests this afternoon. We’ll run Hume and Radio, along with whatever Containment deems necessary and humane. I can’t believe these results, though. This must be the lowest score we’ve got on record. I don’t even know if it qualifies for Ethics protections. Shut this equipment down, generate a file. Send a request to get it downstairs, while you’re at it. I need to get the Director on the phone.</p>
<p><strong>INT:</strong> And God, put a blanket over it or something. It's unsettling.</p>
<p><strong><em>[End Log]</em></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<hr/>
<p>SCP-8804 was determined, after a full round of preliminary testing, to not only be physically and mentally inert, but also devoid of dominant or residual spirituality. As per Ethics Code 99 E.C.C. section 807 (1999), definition of a life form, anomalous objects found to be devoid of spirituality (in conjunction with subsentient results in relevant testing) may be waived of Ethics Committee protections. SCP-8804 was thus deemed property of the SCP Foundation, and its use was left to the full discretion of containment and research staff.</p>
<p>An autopsy of the item was ordered by Director Grieves, who noted a personal interest in the continued research of SCP-8804. The surgery was conducted, and no internal abnormalities were found. SCP-8804 was confirmed to be a perfect genetic replica of Grieves. Internally, the item possessed evidence of concerning genetic mutations. This prompted a follow-up surgery on Grieves, which found these mutations to be present in him as well. Grieves was placed on a long-term treatment plan, with a high likelihood of a full recovery owing to the illness's early discovery.</p>
<p>Following the conclusion of SCP-8804’s autopsy, the item showed signs of enhanced regeneration, rapidly healing from the incisions of the surgical robots and completely recovering from the extensive damage in roughly eight hours. The item ceased regeneration once returning to its baseline appearance, making no sign of healing the various damage present upon its initial discovery.</p>
<p>After personal insistence from Director Grieves, and considering the item’s status as a non-protected humanoid, a practical use of SCP-8804 was devised. Over the course of several years, SCP-8804 was acquired by the Department of Medicine at Site-03 and became an asset of the Department’s medical science division. Initially, the object was primarily used as a test dummy for Grieves’ own condition, but soon its use expanded to include patients in various Foundation hospitals.</p>
<p>Owing to SCP-8804’s identicality to a living human subject paired with its enhanced regeneration, the item could be subjected to experimental surgeries or treatments which could be found helpful in determining a proper course of action for a patient.</p>
<p>The item could endure repeated rounds of testing that would be taxing or even fatal for an average human subject, even involving anomalous diseases that would be impossible to research otherwise. Full regeneration would typically occur one to three days after use, but could occasionally be longer if damage was significantly comprehensive.</p>
<p>SCP-8804 quickly became indispensable in the treatment of high-value patients whose survival was deemed a critical priority for the Foundation at large and led to the recovery of numerous Level-4 and -5 personnel who would have otherwise been considered terminally ill. SCP-8804’s use was deemed more humane as a test subject than the traditional sedated humans, and its operation was expanded.</p>
<p>Samples of SCP-8804 were excised and transported internationally to high-value Sites, where testing could be conducted on them in place of humans. In rare cases, portions of SCP-8804 were directly transplanted onto patients in life-threatening circumstances.</p>
<p>Several years after the discovery of SCP-8804, Nike Grieves passed away from complications resulting from various internal mutations believed to have been acquired passively from years of working in proximity to poorly understood phenomena. Below is an excerpt from Grieves’ Last Will and Testament.</p>
<hr/>
<blockquote>
<p>And on the topic of anomalous assets, I have nothing more to say; all the relevant information has been disclosed to their intended recipients, and procedure forbids me from repeating it here without proper precautions. There remains, however, the issue of SCP-8804, since it is well-known that I’ve developed a particular attachment to the thing.</p>
<p>I have been told of the object’s great help to medical research throughout this organization’s recent past. I’ve spoken to many who have been saved from the tissue samples, blood, and organs of my other self, or of the surgeries tested and trialed on it. I myself have managed to extend my life a few more years thanks to the early warnings of its first autopsy, and the various strategies attempted on it before being used on me.</p>
<p>Even though my condition continues to sap me, I remain ever thankful for the countless hours of dedication given by the wonderful doctors and scientists in this Foundation, and my heart goes out to the thousands of others we could not save. That is why it is my last wish as Director before my inevitable passing that we continue to use SCP-8804 to the best of our ability in the pursuit of medical research. We’ve done great work, but there’s much we’ve yet to discover.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>This is a courtesy notice concerning recent developments regarding SCP-8804’s current containment and utilization strategies. The Ethics Committee has concluded its investigation into the usage of SCP-8804 in Foundation hospitals as a reusable test subject for high-priority patients. Following the recent spike in surgical complications leading to the death or dismemberment of patients, the Committee has discovered the majority of errors to be derivatives of practices trained on SCP-8804.</p>
<p>A comprehensive review of SCP-8804 was conducted, comparing SCP-8804’s biology to thousands of other genetic makeups in and outside the organization to determine the object’s usefulness as a tool of medicine.</p>
<p>It was determined that the genetic makeup of the initial subject (Director Nike Greaves) had been heavily compromised by several anomalous substances injected into his body habitually during his career as a Foundation administrator. SCP-8804 thus replicated itself to match these deficiencies, which remained undetected for many years due in part to Director Greaves’ personal investment in the SCP-8804 project.</p>
<p>We would like to remind staff that the unauthorized use of anomalous substances is a Class-IV offense and is prohibited on the grounds of termination of employment or the reduction of employee protections.</p>
<p>It is unclear at this time if the anomalous substances used by Director Greaves contributed to his illness and death, or if the defections it caused in SCP-8804 were the sole reason for the spike in recent medical failings. What is known is that SCP-8804 can no longer, in good conscience, be used as a source of medical training or experimentation. The risks of a compromised subject being used as a baseline for surgeries and treatments is in violation of Ethics Code 67 E.C.C. section 555 (2011), protections for patients in Foundation facilities. Thus, SCP-8804 is to be removed immediately from active use and shall be relocated to a bio-anomalous waste facility.</p>
<p>Several members of surgical teams at Site-03 have since emerged with concerns regarding SCP-8804, claiming operations on the object cause significant distress in select individuals, citing feelings of judgment and mockery from the object. This has resulted in the oversight of health and safety procedures and the general misuse of SCP-8804. A formal investigation found these allegations baseless, and the object's documentation remains unchanged. No disciplinary measures against offending staff were deemed necessary considering the object's imminent relocation to deep storage.</p>
<p>SCP-8804 research and containment staff will be reassigned in the coming days. Senior staff will be expected to attend a Q&A session with patients who have undergone SCP-8804-trained surgeries or treatments.</p>

<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> You sure we can be in here? I mean—</p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> It’s fine. My card gets us access.</p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> But what if someone shows up? Like, a janitor or something?</p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> They won’t. No one ever comes down here.</p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> But—</p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> Trust me. I’ve done this half a dozen times. No one ever checks.</p>
<p><em>[Containment cell door closed. Steffen approaches SCP-8804. It is dressed in a standard issue grey jumpsuit, secured by its wrists and ankles to a steel chair.]</em></p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> What is it? Is it alive?</p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> Technically. It doesn’t move or talk or anything.</p>
<p><em>[The two stare at SCP-8804 in silence.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> Watch this.</p>
<p><em>[Lyett unholsters his standard-issue taser and fires it at SCP-8804. SCP-8804 immediately begins convulsing from the electrical charge but does not make any motion to defend itself or otherwise react in any way.]</em></p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> What the fuck are you doing?</p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> Just relax. See? It doesn’t talk.</p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> What is wrong with you? You’re sick, David. You know that?</p>
<p><em>[Lyett laughs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> Yeah, whatever man. Feels good to use this thing. Since I got it they haven’t let me try it out on someone yet. You ever shot a taser?</p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> What? No… why do you…</p>
<p><em>[Lyett forces the taser into Steffen’s hand.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> Give it a try. It feels great. Go on, point it right there and pull the trigger.</p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> What the hell is wrong with you? Someone’s going to catch us, or notice someone’s fucked with it and they’ll check the cameras—</p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> No, they won’t. I already told you, no one’s coming in here. The thing regenerates damage, so there’ll be no evidence. And the camera footage is going to be redacted anyway. I know someone who can do that for us. They’ll need an administrator to even view the footage, and we both know those assholes wouldn’t waste their time on something like this. It’s safe, Steffen. Just give it a try.</p>
<p><em>[Steffen hesitates, then fires the taser. It strikes SCP-8804 in the stomach, and prompts a round of convulsions.]</em></p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> Jesus Christ.</p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> Pretty good, huh?</p>
<p><em>[Lyett pulls the taser from Steffan’s hand and reholsters it.]</em></p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> Can it… you know. Can it feel anything?</p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> Fuck if I know. They did surgeries on this thing for years, amputations and shit, no anesthetics. The admins didn’t seem to care, why should I?</p>
<p><em>[The two watch as SCP-8804 continues to spasm intermittently.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> We should get out of here. I gotta get upstairs, my break’s almost up.</p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> Yeah, me too. Do we just—</p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> Yeah, just leave it. It’ll be fine.</p>

Identified as Maintenance Advisor Eugiene Wilson, PID-F9K2LM, Security Agent Angelo Alagar, PID-R3W7PX, Computer Service Technician Sean Sherwood, PID-G5L9TY, and Security Agent David Lyett, PID-T4Z8CY. Containment cell door closed. The room is in disarray. Cans of beer and soda lie scattered about the room. A layer of dried blood coats the walls and floor. SCP-8804 shows signs of severe injury. Its chest and neck are riddled with bullet holes, and its clothes are stained a dark red. Some wounds show signs of partial regeneration. Many continue to bleed freely.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The men enter, laughing. Sherwood holds an unmarked bottle and takes a drink. Alagar sits in one of the folding chairs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SHERWOOD:</strong> Oh shit. It hasn’t healed from last time?</p>
<p><strong>ALAGAR:</strong> I guess not.</p>
<p><strong>LYERR:</strong> Huh.</p>
<p><strong>WILSON:</strong> Might be using it too much?</p>
<p><strong>SHERWOOD:</strong> Yeah. Maybe. I think it’s supposed to take a while.</p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> It doesn’t matter. Meat’s meat. Give me that thing.</p>
<p><em>[Wilson gives Lyett a small concealed blade. Lyett approaches SCP-8804, grabbing it by the wrist. He places it on the table, finger outstretched.]</em></p>
<p><strong>WILSON:</strong> Man, that’s fucked.</p>
<p><em>[Agalar laughs.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Lyett turns to them, smiling.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> I saw it in a movie.</p>
<p><em>[Lyett saws at SCP-8804’s index finger. Sherwood stumbles back and retches, but Lyett continues. Eventually, the finger is severed. Lyett uses the knife’s blade to push it around the table. Sherwood continues to dry heave.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LYETT:</strong> Wasn’t so hard.</p>
<p><em>[A cell phone rings in Alagar’s pocket. He answers it, turning away from the group. He speaks softly, and then hangs up.]</em></p>
<p><strong>ALAGAR:</strong> My fucking… my fucking supervisor is scheduling me overtime again. They still haven’t fixed the fucking air conditioning in the hangar. Pisses me off. Give me that.</p>
<p><em>[Alagar takes the knife and approaches SCP-8804. He stabs it repeatedly in its chest and arms, grunting as he does. He buries it into SCP-8804, pushing his full hand and wrist into its stomach. He wrenches it free, spilling a trail of gore onto the table and floor. His hand is stained red and dripping.]</em></p>
<p><strong>ALAGAR:</strong> Pisses me off.</p>
<p><em>[He kicks SCP-8804, sending it falling backward out of the chair. Wilson takes the thermos from Sherwood and drinks, sitting down in a folding chair. Sherwood approaches the now-prone SCP-8804, stepping on its hand. Bones crunch.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SHERWOOD:</strong> Oh, that feels weird.</p>
<p><em>[Sherwood laughs. Alagar kicks SCP-8804 in the ribs. Alagar gives Lyett the knife, and the men take turns kicking and slicing at parts of SCP-8804. Lyett slices through SCP-8804’s femoral artery. Blood sprays, coating his clothes. Wilson finishes the thermos and throws it to the corner of the room. An alarm on his wristwatch buzzes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>WILSON:</strong> Alright. Time to go.</p>
<p><em>[He stands up and reaches for Lyett.]</em></p>
<p><strong>WILSON:</strong> Let’s go, we got to change before we get back on shift.</p>
<p><em>[Lyett continues to slash at SCP-8804, but is pulled off by Wilson and Sherwood.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SHERWOOD:</strong> Give it a rest, huh?</p>
<p><em>[Containment door opened. Lyett leaves the knife embedded in SCP-8804’s thigh as the four men shuffle out of the room. Containment door closed. A slight wheezing is heard through SCP-8804’s damaged trachea, and its disfigured chest is seen rising and falling.]</em></p>

<p><em>[Containment door opened. One individual enters. Identified as Assistant Thermodynamist Rosam Steffen, PID-F9K2LM. Containment door closed.]</em></p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804 sits in the middle of the room. The table and chairs have been pushed to the side of the room. They are covered in dried blood. Blood and brain matter coats the floor and walls, even reaching the ceiling. SCP-8804’s hands are bound and its arms are lifted, tied to a hanging light fixture. SCP-8804’s clothes have been torn off and added to a pile of trash and empty cans. The entity’s wounds have been continually reopened so as to prevent its regeneration, and blood drips steadily down in lines on its body. Shards of glass are embedded in its skin, and a boxcutter remains lodged in the right bicep. Its eyes are missing. Its teeth have been shattered, and comprehensive damage has been done to its mouth. Its hair has been burned off. Bone is visible through gashes in its chest, and blood exits in bursts with each heartbeat. Its fingers are mostly gone, and the skin on the wrists is raw and bleeding from the rope. The groin is mutilated beyond recognition. One leg is missing at the kneecap. The other foot has been smashed by a blunt object. A needle has been inserted into the neck, and it whistles with each breath the entity takes.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A box of power tools rests beside SCP-8804, along with a propane torch and a bucket of hydrochloric acid. Steffan is holding a baseball bat.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Steffan approaches, stepping around the puddles of blood and biological matter on the floor. He jabs the bat at SCP-8804, watching it sway from the impact. He watches it for a moment. Then, he lifts the bat and swings it sharply at SCP-8804’s head. It strikes squarely on the left cheek, tearing the flesh and breaking the neck. SCP-8804 sways, distorting the lighting in the room.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Steffan swings the bat again, this time splintering the skull. He does this five more times. Eventually, the neck sustains enough damage for the head to separate from the body. It falls to the floor. Steffan turns from SCP-8804 and vomits. Shaking, he drops the bat and stumbles backward. Containment door opened. Containment door closed.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The light fixture holding SCP-8804 snaps from the ceiling and the entity crumples to a heap on the floor. The room is plunged into darkness.]</em></p>

<p><em><strong>[Begin Log]</strong></em></p>
<p><em>[Motion detected. Containment lights activate. SCP-8804 lies, broken, on the containment cell floor. Its severed head lies several meters from the rest of its body. Slowly, in one gentle motion, it sweeps a torn and bloody arm outward and grips the handle of the baseball bat left by Steffen. It drags it inward, hiding it within the folds of its injuries and the trash scattered around it. SCP-8804 returns to an inert state.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Containment lights deactivate.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Containment cell door opened. Lights activate. Two individuals enter. Identified as Maintenance Advisor Eugiene Wilson, PID-F9K2LM, and Security Agent Angelo Alagar, PID-R3W7PX.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Alagar holds a nondescript bottle. Wilson turns to the hallway, looks down both directions, then shuts and locks the door. Alagar takes a drink.]</em></p>
<p><strong>WILSON:</strong> Woah, look at this. Who do you think…?</p>
<p><em>[Wilson examines the severed head.]</em></p>
<p><strong>WILSON:</strong> Could it have been…</p>
<p><strong>ALAGAR:</strong> Wasn’t me. Maybe David? We haven’t been in here all week, though.</p>
<p><strong>WILSON:</strong> Could it have been someone else? Does someone else know about this spot?</p>
<p><em>[Alagar takes another drink. Wilson begins to sweat.]</em></p>
<p><strong>ALAGAR:</strong> Hey man, relax. We’re fine. No one else knows about this place. It must’ve been Sean when we were gone.</p>
<p><em>[Wilson continues staring at the crumpled SCP-8804. He begins to shake.]</em></p>
<p><strong>ALAGAR:</strong> Here, try some.</p>
<p><em>[He hands Wilson the bottle, then grabs his shoulder.]</em></p>
<p><strong>ALAGAR:</strong> Come take a look at this.</p>
<p><em>[The two walk to the side of the room where an arrangement of power tools lay spread on a table.]</em></p>
<p><strong>ALAGAR:</strong> David got these from the armory, which has power tools for some reason. Maybe they’re military?</p>
<p><em>[He grabs one and pulls the trigger. The drill bit spins noisily.]</em></p>
<p><strong>WILSON:</strong> I guess the MTFs need to fix pipes too. Stealth plumbing. Huh.</p>
<p><em>[Alagar laughs. Wilson begins testing out various tools. Neither notice SCP-8804 rise soundlessly from the floor behind them.]</em></p>
<p><strong>ALAGAR:</strong> I want to try this one.</p>
<p><em>[He reaches for a slim electric saw on the far end of the table. Wilson turns his head at the wet noise produced by SCP-8804 shifting its weight on its mangled feet. Before he turns fully, SCP-8804 brings the baseball bat down on the back of Wilson’s head. Alagar spins, eyes wide, and tries to wield the electric saw in self-defense. He moves too slow, and SCP-8804 swings the bat at Alagar’s hands. They break his bones and Alagar drops the saw, screaming. SCP-8804 brings the bat down on his head hard enough to splinter the wood. The force of the impact also shatters SCP-8804’s already damaged arm. It drops the broken bat, its arm hanging loosely at its side. After a moment, the muscle fibers of the damaged arm reattach themselves.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Behind it, Wilson twitches on the floor. SCP-8804 turns but walks past him. It bends down, picking up its severed head off the floor. It places it on its neck and holds it there. SCP-8804’s regeneration does not mend the damage. The head rests at an odd angle and then falls, splattering. SCP-8804 tilts its body down at Wilson, producing an irregular, breathless sound from its open trachea. It coughs a trickle of fluid, then lifts its arms in a circular motion. Gracefully, it arcs its body over the prone Wilson so that its open neck wound floats above his head. Blood begins to pour freely, covering Wilson and soaking his clothes. SCP-8804 remains in this position as the blood coats and then pools. Eventually, Wilson asphyxiates. SCP-8804 arcs back into an upright position with great control, balancing on the remains of its feet. It holds its arms out, exposing its body to the cell's video camera, then bows.]</em></p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804 bends down and pulls a security clearance card from Wilson’s blood-soaked belt. It limps to the containment cell door and attempts to use the card to exit. Blood has been smeared across the magnetic strip, and the door fails to recognize the card. SCP-8804 tries again, with no success. It lets the card fall from its hand, then begins to pound on the door with a closed fist. Wheezing is heard, and a high-pitched wail escapes from SCP-8804’s neck. With no warning, the containment cell door opens. SCP-8804 leans against the doorframe, then it stumbles out of the containment cell, leaving a thick trail of blood.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Moments later, an alarm sounds as the containment system registers the absence of SCP-8804 from its chamber. A priority four containment breach is sounded. Site-19 enters lockdown. All staff begin evacuation to their designated safe rooms.]</em></p>

<p><em><strong>[Begin Log]</strong></em></p>
<p><em>[Computer Service Technician Sean Sherwood, PID-G5L9TY, runs through the halls of Site-19 Sublevel 11. He is heading for his workstation. The evacuation alarm deafens the hallway microphones. Sherwood rounds a corner and enters the room at the end of the hallway. It’s the technical closet for this sector. His belongings lie scattered on the floor, as are dozens of printed photographs. He gathers them in his arms, tries to shovel them into a nearby pack. The alarm continues to blare and he raises one hand to cover his left ear, continuing to pack his bag with his right. Satisfied, he turns to leave. SCP-8804 is standing in the doorway.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Sherwood stumbles backward, blubbering. The pack falls, spilling the photographs. They are detailed images of his and others’ mutilation of SCP-8804 over the previous months.]</em></p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804 approaches Sherwood slowly. Blood continually drips down its chest, arms, and legs, pooling on the floor. A vivid trail is seen leading far behind it. It looms over Sherwood, breathing heavily. Sherwood shuts his eyes and raises his arms above his head, whimpering.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8804:</strong> <em>[Inaudible]</em></p>
<p><strong>SHERWOOD:</strong> …What?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8804:</strong> <em>[Inaudible]</em></p>
<p><strong>SHERWOOD:</strong> Please don't—I'm sorry, I didn't think—I would have never—</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804 lifts an index finger to the space above its neck, then holds its other arm at a right angle, pointing to a wall-mounted computer terminal.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SHERWOOD:</strong> I don't… Okay.</p>
<p><em>[Sherwood rises and approaches a nearby terminal. He enters his credentials, granting him access to Site-19’s general communication channel. SCP-8804 clears its trachea of blood and viscera.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8804:</strong> <em>[Inaudible]</em></p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804 reaches out toward Sherwood, who flinches. It places a bloody thumb on his forehead, then retracts it.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8804:</strong> <em>[Inaudible]</em></p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804 lifts its arms high, arching them and splattering blood on the walls and floor. It pivots harshly, keeping its balance, and moves aside, sweeping a palm toward the hallway. Sherwood slips past, running out of sight. SCP-8804 moves to the terminal, blocking the sight of the screen from the camera. Blood from its hands drips down the machine.]</em></p>
<p><em>[After a moment, SCP-8804 steps back. It twirls, eventually settling on the camera. It holds itself at an odd angle, its weight impossibly supported on twisted legs, arms outstretched in grace. After a moment it relaxes, bowing. It turns and limps out of the room.]</em></p>

<blockquote>
<p><em><strong>[Begin Log]</strong></em></p>
<p><em>[Assistant Thermodynamist Rosam Steffen, PID-F9K2LM, sits on the floor of a personnel safehouse. The door is sealed, and he is alone. He rocks back and forth absently, mumbling. The breach alarm blares from beyond the door, muffled by the steel locks. He stands and washes his face in the safehouse’s sink. As he dries, he looks at himself in the mirror above.]</em></p>
<p><em>[There is a knock at the door. Steffen turns and approaches the door. He peers through a small slit in the metal.]</em></p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> David? Jesus, David. Is that you?</p>
<p><em>[Steffen places a hand to the locking mechanism, hesitates, then wrenches it open. The door slides on its track. SCP-8804 is standing in the opening, holding the severed head of Security Agent David Lyett, PID-T4Z8CY. SCP-8804’s physiology is greatly degraded. Behind it is a trail of skin, blood, and other organic matter which has ceased regeneration entirely. SCP-8804’s body is mostly skeletal and has lengthened considerably. Its headless shoulders nearly scrape against the ceiling. Its clothes are scarlet rags, draped unceremoniously across its gaunt frame.]</em></p>
<p><em>[It steps into the safehouse, nearing the camera. Its bones are revealed to be composed entirely of a deep purple, soporific sludge which causes them to continuously expand and contract, stretching upward, outward, and inward at once. The sight sends Seffan stumbling back. He screams.]</em></p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804 attempts to place the head atop its oozing neck, balancing it precariously. It then lifts the head and throws it at Steffen’s feet with great force, destroying it. SCP-8804 attempts to lift its arms, but its bones are degrading rapidly and it cannot hold its form.]</em></p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> I—I let you out! It was me! The others, what they did. And after I—I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t…</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804 approaches Steffen, extending a nearly aqueous arm.]</em></p>
<p><strong>STEFFEN:</strong> The door—that was me! Please, don’t…</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804 grabs Steffen and pulls him close, lifting him off the floor. SCP-8804's material sloughs to the floor, pooling in a deep purple sludge. The material moves outward, covering the floor and rising up the walls.]</em></p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804’s mass soon envelops the entirety of the room, having lost all semblance of form. It is utterly total. The room is dark, and within the darkness the body of SCP-8804 melts and reforms, becoming an anonymous black-purple silhouette. SCP-8804 peers into Steffen with a reformed, hollow face. As it stares, the surface of its form begins to smooth over, losing its ripples and instabilities. It grows so still as to become reflective. Steffen sees himself looking back. SCP-8804 laughs from somewhere within and beyond, then it cries, then it screams. It begins to take shape, forming human features. Its skin gains texture and its limbs solidify. Then it hesitates.]</em></p>
<p><em>[SCP-8804’s gaze settles onto the mirror above the sink. Its skin ripples once more, and then the matter halts its evolution. It lowers Steffen and approaches the mirror, dragging its half-human form along the floor. It pulls itself up to the sink. It is completely invisible when viewed through the mirror. It reaches out as if to brush the mirror’s surface, but its arm does not meet resistance. It continues this forward motion, letting its head and body follow into the mirror. It slips inside, fish-like. Then it vanishes. The safehouse returns to normal. Steffen lies huddled on the floor, breathing heavily.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Slowly he rises and approaches the mirror. He gazes upon his reflection and finds it is <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7804">foreign to him.</a>]</em></p>

<p><span class="bd">SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES</span></p>
<hr/>
<p>Containment of this anomaly and all relevant documentation has been self-assigned to the Department of Mandatory Suggestion; the extent of actions required to maintain effective mitigation of SCP-8808's memetic properties involve information control and memory manipulation of both employees and sapient objects in containment within affected secure facilities. Ethics Committee approval for these actions has been preemptively granted without need for request.</p>
<p>Cognitowards are to be placed on various surfaces within impacted sites, no less than one per interior side of each chamber, including ceilings and floors. For larger or more irregular spaces, additional wards should be utilized, at the discretion of assigned agents. Alongside this, subliminal messages are to be inserted into official documents and reading materials provided to personnel and anomalies until SCP-8808 phenomena ceases. Affected instances are to be disposed of via acroamatic incineration.</p>
<p>At this time, SCP-8808 remains uncontained. Despite this, departmental operations have reduced the prevalence of anomalous consequences by approximately 75%. The average level of cooperation observed during behavioral analysis of sapient anomalies has subsequently decreased, as expected.</p>

<p><span class="bd">PREVIOUS RESEARCH</span></p>
<hr/>
<p>Study of SCP-8808 was previously under the purview of the Department of Internal Investigations, during inquest into a concerning trend of events involving the unauthorized termination of several contained sapient anomalies. Victims were observed to have spontaneously disappeared from housing chambers, along with their personal effects, only to later be discovered outside the bounds of their secure facility, neutralized or otherwise destroyed via severe blunt force trauma.</p>
<p>Camera footage and eyewitness accounts of the events in question have been difficult to ascertain, as security personnel unanimously cite equipment malfunctions leading up to and during the event that prevent surveillance and access into the affected anomalies' containment areas. This led to some speculation of internal sabotage, along with other theories of conspiratorial nature, reducing workplace morale, interdepartmental trust, and average personnel efficiency. Thus, the Department of Mandatory Suggestion was prompted to assume control of the situation and provide quality of life adjustments to affected sites.</p>
<p>Upon application of regressive therapy for personnel present outside during the deaths of affected individuals, additional information about the anomaly was acquired.</p>

<p><span class="bd">DESCRIPTION</span></p>
<hr/>
<p>SCP-8808 defines a memetic contagion that manifests as a psychogenetic ideaform.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> The anomaly vectors through a persistent yet ill-defined belief in its existence, which is harbored by many sapient anomalies and D-Class personnel throughout Foundation secure facilities. SCP-8808 likely originated as a harmless rumor involving the presence of a "nicer" containment cell only accessible through good behavior. Specifically, this rumor involves a cell with a full patio or large window, neither of which are offered in Foundation facilities. Despite this, the pervasive belief in the existence of a "room with a view" continues to spread, at a rate obscured by deep-seated reticence involving the discussion of SCP-8808 with staff members.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup></p>
<p>SCP-8808 is capable of infecting any and all sapient life which can visualize an approximation of its memetic structure and is also able to feel desire, envy, and related emotions. Amnestic treatment of individuals possessing knowledge of this ideaform has proven to be ineffective in preventing the manifestation of SCP-8808, which occurs with no predictable pattern; the anomaly contains metaconceptual origin within the subconscious mind that persists in a manner completely separate from memory.</p>
<p>Due to variance between the many mental constructs created by numerous individuals imagining an "ideal" containment living space, SCP-8808's manifestation is often an unusable amalgamation, with spaces possessing irregular, conflicting furnishings or noneuclidean layouts, while lacking necessary utilities such as electrical wiring, light fixtures, walls, and doorways. SCP-8808 manifestations always include the presence of a balcony, patio and/or floor-to-ceiling windows, even when the room lacks an externally-facing edge.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, as most individuals do not imagine each other's presence in these types of mental imagery, the formation of SCP-8808 in corporeal existence is typically fatal to the inhabitant(s) of the preexisting space; the anomaly compresses extant matter through an extradimensional singularity formed by rapid Hume loss moments before the event takes place. Victims are then shunted into the nearest open space containing "a view" in order to ontologically satisfy the parameters of the affected ideas.</p>
<p>The effect dissipates shortly thereafter.</p>

<hr/>
<p>On 5/13/2024, Foundation security discovered viscera belonging to the corpse of Dr. Osmond J. Greene, a project manager for Site-17, compacted into a seam at the junction between walls of his office. Dr. Greene had no affiliation with SCP-8808 phenomena, nor the affected individuals.</p>
<p>According to a backup of his personal notes, Dr. Greene had been purportedly vying for a significant promotion, on the grounds it would help him secure a "spacious corner office". It should be noted that no such office exists. SCP-8808's containment has been placed under high priority.

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8810</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Euclid</span> Keter</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Undercover containment personnel have been integrated into religious organizations, online religious forums and social media. Should any participants demonstrate signs of a potential "litigious" event, implicated parties are to be seized, subjected to memetic and cognitohazardous deprogramming, and undergo societal reintegration.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8810 is a spontaneous memetic effect that arises sporadically among individuals associated with major organized religions, neo-pagan practices, folk religions, individualized faiths, and supernatural belief groups. This effect produces a profound belief that the divinity, system of worship, or supernatural entity(ies) has neglected or failed the affected persons, and that the only method for reconciliation is legal action.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></p>
<p>SCP-8810 does not preferentially target any specific group of individuals of faith or supernatural belief and does not seem to specifically target individuals experiencing outsized financial, physical, mental, or emotional distress. The first documented litigious event associated with SCP-8810 occurred in 1969, but depictions in cultural media such as <em>The Devil and Daniel Webster</em> potentially indicate that SCP-8810 has been in the public conscience for some time before the initial incident.</p>
<p>A list of SCP-8810 incidents is provided in the table below.</p>

</tr>
<tr>
<td>I-8810-01</td>
<td>1969</td>
<td>Russel T. Tansie filed suit for his secretary, Betty Penrose following a lightning strike on her home. The presented argument was that the Christian God had neglected Mrs. Penrose since the divinity had, supposedly, purchased property within the county. Lou Gottlieb, an American folk singer, had transferred the deed of his ranch property to God earlier in the week.</td>
<td>The court found the plaintiff lacked standing, and the presiding judge dismissed the case as God is not a legal entity and therefore cannot own property. Additionally, Plaintiff could not show (as a matter of law) that this act of god was the basis for liability when an act of god is usually basis for the opposite as events not controlled by either party.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>I-8810-03</td>
<td>1971</td>
<td>Bethany Dubois attempted to file suit in South Dakota civil court against Grand Karcist Ion for emotional distress, related to failing to deliver her from the burdens of mortal flesh and thus freeing her from the yoke of existence. Mrs. Dubois had no prior associations with Nälkän or Neo-sarkic groups. It's unclear how Mrs. Dubois became involved with Sarkic religious practices, though some evidence exists that she had ties to the GRU-P.</td>
<td>Foundation officials intercepted Mrs. Dubois' court filing and amnesctized the county clerk who, initially, handled the paperwork. When agents raided Mrs. Dubois' estate, she was found in her bedroom, deceased. Cause of death was cyanide poisoning.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>I-8810-07</td>
<td>1971</td>
<td>Stephany Hawkins, a resident of Las Vegas Nevada, initiated legal proceedings for alienation of affection against Robert Bumaro and the divinity Mekhane during the divorce of her husband, a known CotBG operative. Mrs. Hawkins accused Bumaro and Mekhane of leading her husband away from matters of the flesh and thus, sabotaging their marriage through deprivation of emotional connection.</td>
<td>Mrs. Hawkins vanished shortly after the filing was submitted. Her husband alleged she went on vacation promptly after proceedings for both the suit and their divorce began. He alleged she had not been returning his calls. Local police opened an investigation into Mrs. Hawkins's disappearance. Upon securing a warrant to search Mr. Hawkins home, they discovered a shrine to Mekhane in his basement, and a large, human-sized pile of scrap metal in one corner. Mr. Hawkins was taken into custody and handed over to the Foundation.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>I-8810-08</td>
<td>1971</td>
<td>Geraldo Mayo filed suit against 'Satan and his staff' in West Pennsylvania before the United States District Court, alleging that Satan had 'levied unwanted threats, inflicted misery, and impeded important events in his life causing his economic and social downfall'. Mr. Mayo could not afford the legal fees to pursue the case and filed <em>in forma pauperis</em> in attempt to have them waived.</td>
<td>Foundation officials were unable to intercept the case before it was processed; however, the attending judge rejected legal proceedings due to the plaintiff failing to include instructions on how 'Satan' could be served for trial.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>I-8810-51</td>
<td>1997</td>
<td>George Castero filed legal action against the Greek divinity "Zeus" in both civil and criminal courts before the United States District Court in Eastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Castero alleged that Zeus had 'fucked his wife and turned her into a housecat' and thus filed for both Alienation of Affection. He then called the Philadelphia Police Department to report the crimes of Transmutation<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> and Second-Degree Murder.</td>
<td>As a consequence of prior knowledge, Foundation agents did not interfere with case proceedings. The Civil court dismissed the case on account of Zeus not being a legal entity and therefore could not own property or incur financial harm. Suspecting potential foul play, local authorities investigated further and discovered that Mr. Castero had financial and emotional motive against his wife.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> The Court notified Foundation Officials, and further investigation determined that Mr. Castero was a type blue associated with the Serpents Hand. He was promptly taken into custody.</td>

<td>I-8810-57</td>
<td>1998</td>
<td>A joint suit was filed by the players of the Minnesota Vikings against the 'Norse Pantheon' claiming the organization had colluded to make Gary Anderson's game winning kick in the 1998 NFC championship game miss by a foot to the right. Anderson and multiple other players alleged that Loki<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup>, Odin<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> and Thor<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> had appeared in the sky of the domed stadium and caused the kick to veer slightly right of the uprights.</td>
<td>Foundation officials intercepted the filing and brought the entire Vikings team and their coaching staff in for amnestic treatment. Review of the broadcast footage failed to produce any evidence of the alleged events.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>I-8810-78</td>
<td>2014</td>
<td>Marica Applewhite filed legal proceedings against "Lycanthropes". Ms. Applewhite sought 10 million USD for 'Emotional Distress and Alienation of Affection' on account of the defendants failing to fulfill her Omegaverse Fantasies.</td>
<td>Foundation officials failed to prevent Ms. Applewhite's paperwork from being filed, due to a clerical error that temporarily disabled Foundation monitoring databases. The court rejected the case on the basis of "Lycanthropes and Werewolves" not being a legitimate organization or business. Additionally, the judge noted that, even if they had been real, suing all Werewolves would have been ludicrous and frivolous. When Ms. Applewhite descended into insults and unruly behavior following the dismissal, the Judge referred to her as "unhinged" and promptly held her in contempt of court for a period of 14 days. Mrs. Applewhite promptly escaped her prison cell through unknown means, though several inmates in the station described a "large, bi-pedal wolf smashing through the walls."</td>

Mr. Singh alleged that Rama had mistreated his wife Sita by asking her to prove she was 'pure', claiming it was important to speak out against such scripture for the betterment of women.</td>
<td>Mr. Singh's case was not caught by Foundation Monitoring systems, due to the lack of precedent of SCP-8810 in Indian Courts, and the case went before the court, where it was promptly rejected for being 'impractical'.</td>

<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Mr. Stanbrook, did you deliver notice of the suit to the defendants?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> We did, your honor. The defendant responded to our notice, and affirmed they wished to bring this to the court.</p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz stares at Mr. Stanbrook, and then Mr. Stillwater for several seconds.</em></p>

<p><em>Judge Marrowitz checks her watch.</em></p>

<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Let the record show that the claimants contacted the defendant and they were served. Lets hear the case and requested damages from you and your client directly, and I will render summary judgement from there.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> Your honor, my client is seeking civil damages equivalent to 15 million dollars from the defendant, Inanna also known as Abigail Im-Immaru<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-9" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-9')">9</a></sup>, Queen of Heaven, Goddess of Light, War, Love, and Justice—</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> I see you included the full title in the filing as well Mr. Stanbrook, was that necessary?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> My client insisted. My client is suing Mrs. Im-Immaru for Alienation of Affection, Emotional Distress, Social Ostracization, and Discrimination. Following an event where he invested a significant amount of effort to please the defendant in order to ensure 'gain of favor and boons'.</p>
<p><em>Mr. Stanbrook exhibits notable difficulty in keeping a straight face.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> Mr. Stillwater is a self-described 'Involuntary Celibate' and alleges that Mrs. Im-Immaru's failure to follow up on an established contract has done egregious harm to his reputation and standing among members of his community.</p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz's expression becomes incredulous, but she maintains composure and gestures to Mr. Stillwater.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Mr. Stanbrook do you have evidence of this 'contract'?</p>

<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Mr. Stillwater, would you please describe for the court how you formed a contract with Inanna?</p>
<p><em>Mr. Stillwater stands, and speaks in a reedy, nasally voice.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> If it pleases the court. I converted to Neo-paganism six months ago after a dream where Inanna— Mrs. Im-Immaru appeared to me and said that if I bestowed upon her a glorious gift while reciting the prayer we've submitted to the court, she would shower me with unending favor and promises ending the curse of my involuntary celibacy, by making all the bitches want me.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Mr. Stillwater, you will watch your language in my courtroom.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> Sorry, your honor.</p>
<p><em>The cameras pick up Judge Marrowitz speaking to herself at an audio-level that the rest of the court doesn't hear.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> What a farce.</p>
<p><em>At a louder volume she says.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Before I issue my ruling, Mr. Stanbrook does your client have any proof that Mrs. Im-Immaru is a real entity with financial holdings?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> Yes, your honor, if you'll flip to the last page, we'll enter exhibit Item 1D, proof of finances.</p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz flips to the last page and looks over the statement.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> So, just so that the court and I fully understand, Mrs. Im-Immaru co-owns a nightclub in Ibiza, Spain, called the Evening Star, and you're claiming she came to you in a dream, promised you… 'Women'? and favors if you…</p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz gestures to the binder.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Did this, and said a prayer to her?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> And post it online. She was very specific about that.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Right. So, you did as she instructed, and the outcome has been…</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> Social ostracization, harassment, removal from online community and safe spaces, and discrimination in the form of Mrs. Im-Immaru completely ignoring his prayers and pleas. Financial difficulty due to loss of employment.</p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz speaks again at a volume the court room can't hear.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Not surprised at all.</p>
<p><em>At a normal volume.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Ok. Mr. Stillwater, one last thing. Would you please read aloud, for the court, the prayer you recited during the aggrieving incident?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> Certainly.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> Hold on Dave, your honor?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Purely for record keeping purposes.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> [COGNITOHAZARDOUS MATERIAL REMOVED]</p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz removes her glasses and wipes them with a cloth. She makes a pre-arranged gesture, which the bailiffs respond to by moving towards the claimant’s table. Mr. Stanbrook and Mr. Stillwater are unawares.</em></p>

<p><em>Camera footage resolves after several seconds. The Courtroom has visibly changed from, for lack of better descriptions, an official government courtroom, to a mud-brick structure with a tile dance floor, neon-lighting, and a bar on the back left side of the chambers.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> What on earth?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> Your honor, is this some sort of practical joke?</p>
<p><em>Mr. Stillwater points at the defendant’s table.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> See! I told you she was real!</p>
<p><em>Seated at the defendants table is a young woman, late 20's, middleastern descent with brown hair, brown eyes, and dark olive skin. She is wearing jeans, chunky sneakers, and a muscle shirt. Exposed skin, excepting the face, glows with tattoos that both move and change intensity sporadically. Her feet are kicked up on the table, and the chair she is in is leaning back against the railing.</em></p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz opens her mouth to speak, only for the woman to raise her hand.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">????:</span> Give it a moment, my counsel is almost here.</p>
<p><em>The doors to the courtroom open and a woman dressed in a tight fit, well-kept, brown pants-suit walks down the aisle, heels clicking on the floor. She is also of middle eastern descent, with what witnesses described as a 'gentle but stern and business-like' expression. She carries a large, cuneiform-decorated briefcase.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">????-2:</span> Forgive me, your honor, traffic in New York is terrible. My client has temporarily relocated your courtroom for convenience’s sake.</p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz looks between the two women, Mr. Stillwater and Mr. Stanbrook for several seconds with an expression of distressed disbelief on her face.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> What the hell do you mean temporarily rel—</p>
<p><span class="hili">????-2:</span> Your honor, it's probably for the best that you do not think about it too deeply, lest you get a migraine.</p>
<p><em>The woman in the suit sets her briefcase on the table, pops open the clasps and pulls out several binders, seamlessly flipping one of them open.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">????-2:</span> Now, your honor, if I'm not mistaken the claimants have already presented the argument for their suit against my Mistress?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Well yes, but—</p>
<p><span class="hili">????-2:</span> Excellent, and you were preparing to issue summary judgement due to my clients delayed attendance?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Yes that's right, but see he—</p>
<p><span class="hili">????-2:</span> Perfect. If it pleases your honor, we would like to rebutt Mr. Stillwater's claims before you make your judgement?</p>
<p><em>The woman looks at Judge Marrowitz, awaiting their response. Judge Marrowitz takes off her glasses, takes a deep breath and says something at a low volume that only the camera microphones pick up.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Margaret what the hell did you put in my cereal this morning.</p>
<p><em>She speaks into the bench microphone.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> <strong>What</strong> would please me is the two of you, explaining what the hell you've done to my courtroom, who the hell you are, and why I shouldn't have the bailiffs throw you out of my courtroom!?</p>
<p><span class="hili">????:</span> Oh that's easy, I can explain the first bit. [EXTRANEOUS EXPLANATION OF INFOHAZARDOUS ONTOKINETIC THEORY REDACTED] and then I [IRRELEVANT DESCRIPTION OF COGNITOHAZARDOUS SPATIO-TEMPORAL MANIPULATION REDACTED FOR BREVITY].</p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz, the baliffs, Mr. Stillwater, Mr. Stanbrook and all other attendees begin experiencing substantial nosebleeds.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">????-2:</span> I think that's good enough, Abigail. We don't want to melt their brains. As far as your second question your honor, this, is Inanna or as she is currently referred to among mortals, Abigail Im-Immaru [EXTRANEOUS TITLES REMOVED]. I am Ninshubur or Nancy Sukkal-Mah, Lady of Subartu, as well as Inanna and Ishtar's personal counsel, secretary, and administrative director.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> You people and your titles.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Im-Immaru:</span> As for your last question, I think you'll find it very difficult to have your bailiffs remove us given we're arbiters of the scales of justice.</p>
<p><em>Mrs. Im-Immaru looks directly at the camera.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Im-Immaru:</span> Sorry for the mess this is going to make, Sherry, but this asswipe finally broke my patience. I'm sure you'll find it in your heart to forgive me.</p>
<p><em>Mrs. Im-Immaru blows a kiss at the camera, a heart shaped neon-light floating through the air and briefly filling the entire field before dissolving. Her attention returns to Judge Merrowitz as she rocks back and forth in the chair, using her feet propped on the table to maintain balance.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Who are you talking to!?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Im-Immaru:</span> Don't worry about it.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> What!?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> It's best if we remain focused on the case at hand Your Honor; the faster we resolve this issue, the quicker you get us out of your courtroom.</p>
<p><em>Mrs. Sukkal-Mah smiles sympathetically at Judge Merrowitz.</em></p>
<p><em>Judge Merrowitz stares at them both for ~a minute, curling and uncurling her fists. She turns her head to look at the bailiffs, who look between the claimant’s table and the defendant’s table. They take multiple steps to the other side of the courtroom, away from Mrs. Im-Immaru and Mrs. Sukkal-Mah.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> <em>picks up her gavel and bangs it.</em> This is already a circus, might as well get it over with.</p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz slumps in her bench chair with a look of resignation, having lost control of proceedings.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> <em>Pushes her glasses up on her nose.</em> Very good. I would like to call Mr. Stillwater to the stand.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> Objection! This isn't a trial, it's a summary judgement hearing! You can't call witnesses.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Im-Immaru:</span> Easy fix.</p>

<p><em>As the static of the camera resolves, it refocuses on Mr. Stillwater who is seated in the witness stand. Glowing neon lights spelling out the case name and title decorate the walls of the courtroom, blinking approximately every minute. In addition to the 12 other people in the crowd, every previously unoccupied seat in the courtroom is now occupied with humanoid shaped entities made of neon light, glowing in every color the human eye can see.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> <em>Stands abruptly.</em> Your honor!</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Your objection is noted and overruled.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> This is outrageous!</p>

<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Mrs. Im-Immaru, I will not tolerate you assaulting an officer of the law in my court room. <em>Mumbling</em> Even if he is scum of the earth. <em>At normal volume.</em> I will sanction you should if it happens again unwarranted!</p>
<p><em>A five second pause.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Im-Immaru:</span> What sort of sanction your honor?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> A fine of $350.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Im-Immaru:</span> Three-Fitty, nice.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> <em>Deep sigh.</em> Mrs. Sukkal-Mah, please continue.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> Mr. Stillwater, earlier today you testified to this court that you formed a contract with my client, is that correct?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> That's correct.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> And that contract was formed through a dream, wherein you were instructed to do certain tasks to win favor from my client, correct?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> <em>Steeples his fingers on the stand surface.</em> Yes.</p>
<p><em>Mrs. Sukkal-Mah walks away from the podium, and picks up a binder, before moving back to the microphone.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> Your honor I'd like to submit exhibit item 2A. May I approach the bench?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Go ahead.</p>
<p><em>Mrs. Sukkal-Mah approaches the bench and hands the judge a packet of papers. She hands one to Mr. Stillwater, and then circles back to give Mr. Stanbrook the packet as well. Mr. Stanbrook glares at Mrs. Sukkal-Mah for several seconds and emits an unintelligible vocalization from the place where his mouth once was.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> Would you please read the highlighted lines on the first and second page for me Mr. Stillwater.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> Hnghghghhh hngghhh, leading lddddngg hhe ninnntess!</p>
<p><em>All parties ignore Mr. Stanbrook.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> In the days of old, favor, contracts, and bindings among the Anunna and Igigi could be forged with mortals by the pronouncement of tithings. Each of the Annuna and Igigi had their own customs, of which many have been detailed. <em>He pauses and flips to the next page.</em> Among the most capricious was Inanna, who could only be summoned through prayer offering flattery, compliments and riches. She would reply in gestations of light, the warmth of the rays of the evening star upon the cheeks, the richness of a blooming love. She will never greet the summoner in dreams unless they are already an exalted lover.</p>
<p><em>A small pause.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> This document is cited by more than 20 different divine organizations as the standard contact protocol for the Messopotamian pantheon, your honor. The defense finds it peculiar that Mr. Stillwater supported his claims with non-academic blog-sites.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> But I saw her in my dream! It was exactly her! She told me the exact URLs to go to!</p>
<p><em>He points at Mrs. Im-Immaru.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> On that topic, your honor, I would like to submit to the court exhibit 2B. May I approach the bench?</p>

<p><em>Mr. Stanbrook is now suspended from the ceiling on a neon light that rotates slowly. The words 'I am a corrupt bastard' glow on the floor around his blinking outline. Mr. Stillwater has returned to the claimants table, where he is currently suspended in the air by a chain of thousands of neon-glowsticks suspended from the ceiling and wrapped around his hands. He is swinging slowly back and forth, and at least one humanoid shaped neon-light construct pushes him forward when he gets too close to the railing.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> As you can see your honor, on the dates in question, my client's dream travel log is very busy with [EXTREME COGNITOHAZARDOUS ACTIVITIES REMOVED] and [DEIFIC INDOCTRINATION TRIGGERS EXCISED].</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> I cannot say I've ever heard of a dream travel log, is this a standard practice among… whatever you are?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> Very, your honor. It's an accountability method for beings of a divine nature, put in practice after the great avocado flood of 1987. With that, I would like to offer my concluding statement to the court?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> The gre— no no. Nevermind, I don't want to know. Go ahead, I’m not getting younger, and this nightmare is taking its time in ending.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> Either Mr. Stillwater completely fabricated this entire story, for attention and/or to excuse his frankly <strong>sickening</strong> hobbies, or some alternate force is attempting to frame my client.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Is that all the defense wishes to present?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> Yes, your honor.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Very well. Mr. Stanbrook do you have any closing statements?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> Hnghhh!!! hnngadgjhhh nnnnn—</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> No? Suit yourself.</p>
<p><em>Judge Marrowitz bangs her gavel.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Usually on a successful defense of a motion for summary judgement we would move on to the actual trial. But given the outright ludicrous nature of the events here today and the evidence presented by the defense, I should dimiss with prejudice instead. Any objections, Mr. Stanbrook?"</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> nghheeheh</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Marrowitz:</span> Right, overruled. Case dismissed.</p>
<p><em>The courtroom erupts with applause, false cheers, and yips.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> Excellent, thank you your honor.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Im-Immaru:</span> You know, I used to be an extremely petty bitch, 5000 years ago. I leveled a mountain cause it dared to be prettier than me and my sibling. I pitched tantrums, cause Gilgamesh killed my fucking boar. I went to the underworld on the war path because… actually no, that one didn’t happen like the academics said it did.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Im-Immaru:</span> Anyways that's not me anymore. I've grown up. I've matured to being only slightly petty now.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Im-Immaru:</span> That's why, this is now a criminal trial.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> What?</p>

<p><em>The camera feed resolves; the courtroom has changed once again. It is now oriented in a night club style layout. All walls and ceilings are now dance floors covered in fluorescing tiles as a dozen signs stating the case name flash on every surface. Humanoid shaped neon light constructs dance on the floor, the walls, and ceilings at angles that would be impossible if gravity was behaving normally.

<p><em>Her Honorable Judge Im-Immaru is now seated at the bench, wearing a wig of oscillating neon lights. The seating arrangements have swapped, Neon blinking placards in cuneiform reading "Prosecution" displayed on the table on the right side where Mrs. Sukkal-Mah is seated. No table is on the left side where the defendants would normally be, instead a large wheel with different colored neon panels sits in its place. Mr. Stillwater is strapped to the wheel, which is split into two segments rotating in opposite directions. ~12 Mr. Stanbrooks are strapped to the walls, attached to the neon lights dictating the case title. Every time the color changes, Mr. Stanbrook screams as he's electrocuted, the tones of his screams being harvested and distorted into electronic music.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> Welcome ladies, gentlemen, and enbies of all flavors, I'm your host Abigail, and this is CRIMINAL COURT WITH JUDGE MARROWITZ!</p>

<p><em>Judge Marrowitz begins drinking from a flask covered in strobing neon lights.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> As you saw earlier your honor, Mr. Stillwater incriminated himself by presenting video and photographic evidence of violation of New York Penal Law - PEN § 235.00, PEN § 353-A, & PEN § 245.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> Ooooo those are nasty!</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mrs. Sukkal-Mah:</span> The State of New York has detailed paper trail evidence that Mr. Stanbrook violated New York Penal Law § 496.05, gross cases of embezzlement, taking bribes, paired with aiding and abetting criminal conspiracy. While not necessarily a violation of the law, and thus not of terrible relevancy to current proceedings, I'd also like to submit for the record that Mr. Stanbrook is a soulless hack for tieing his reputation to a client that ignored his warnings about the evidence presented here today being wildly self-incriminating.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> I agree, bully on you Mr. Stanbrook. It seems the evidence against the defense is fairly stacked.</p>
<p><em>Mr. Stanbrook screams incoherently in two ~3 second bursts. This results in a bass drop.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> Mr. Stillwater, do you have any closing statements in your defense?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stillwater:</span> I'm going to hurl, make the spinning stop.</p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> Mr. Stanbrook do you have any closing remarks?</p>
<p><span class="hili">Mr. Stanbrook:</span> <em>Incoherent loud screaming for approximately two minutes.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> Mmmmm, I don't know about that defense, seems kind of weak. Members of the Jury, would you please step onto the throbbing neon scales of justice to announce your verdict for Mr. Stanbrook. Then do the same for Mr. Stillwater?</p>
<p><em>The camera tilts to the Jury, made up entirely of neon light constructs. All 12 members step onto the guilty scale twice.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Jury:</span> On the presented counts we find both defendants, guilty!</p>

<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> Nancy, if you would do the honors.</p>
<p><em>Mrs. Sukkal-Mah walks over to the giant wheel, and with a great amount of effort, spins it. Mr. Stillwater starts screaming as the wheel spins faster and faster, neon fluid erupts from his blurry form, assumed to be vomit.</em></p>
<p><em>After approximately thirty seconds the wheel stops on a neon blue and red panel.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> Congratulations, my friends! The wheel has decided your fate! Are you ready to be slapped 235,000 times by the dancing lobsters, and then go straight to Jail!? For life!?</p>

<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> Bring in the dancing lobsters!</p>
<p><em>The doors to the courtroom open and ~30 Finnfolk in Lobster costumes enter, wielding still alive cod. They dance across the courtroom and begin slapping Mr. Stillwater and Mr. Stanbrook with the fish.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> That's all for today folks!</p>
<p><em>Judge Im-Immaru exits the bench, and the camera follows her, as if mounted on a drone, as she walks out of the room, down the hall, and then out of the courtroom. Outside she snaps a finger, and a motorcycle made of strobing neon lights manifests. She mounts it, hikes up the parking stand and revs the engine.</em></p>
<p><span class="hili">Judge Im-Immaru:</span> Let this be a lesson, don't fucking sue me assholes.</p>
<p><em>Judge Im-Immaru takes off, leaving a trail of streaking light.</em></p>
<p><em>As soon as Mrs. Im-Immaru is out of frame, the camera distorts, slingshotting back to its original position.

Mr. Stanbrook was preparing to retire, and Mr. Stillwater was his last case. Mr. Stanbrook was not aware of it, but the immediate dismissal of the case before it reached its first hearing did not occur, due to integration with a coordinated sting with the US Justice department as a result of gross corruption on Mr. Stanbrook's part in aiding/abetting former New York City Mayor ███ ██████. He was to be arrested at the end of the hearing.</div>

<p><strong>Anarchaeology Training Session #3 Video Log Transcript</strong></p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> Psara, Greece<br/>
<strong>Date:</strong> April 8th, 2017</p>
<p><strong>Personnel Present:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Junior Researcher Mathias Kwok, Anarchaeology Specialist</li>
<li>Junior Researcher Phoebe Mohalbi, Anomalous Anthropologist</li>
</ul>
<hr/>
<p><em>The camera switches on and autofocuses to the darkness of a cave. Sunlight brightens the periphery of the frame.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> The smell isn't great, but at least it's cool in here. I thought I was going to melt on the walk over.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Well, the quicker we finish today's demos, the sooner we can get back to the sweet relief of AC. <<em>She pauses.</em>> But if we take as long as we did last time, I'm going to start preparing you for taxidermy.</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> You'll stuff me? <<em>They laugh.</em>> Bad joke, I know. Precision is part of the job, however. If you have an issue with my level of caution, I heard that Zeta-9 is always recruiting.</p>
<p><em>Kwok attempts to pick up a large, loose stone. They struggle.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> You don't seem like the MTF type, though, so I suggest you follow my lead. You'll get your <em>sweet relief</em> without getting yelled at by the professor.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Right. <<em>Whispering</em>> I can't wait for this to be over.</p>
<p><em>A pause. Kwok reaches to their belt for a chisel and small hammer, placing the former on the edge of the stone. They rotate the rock as they strike it firmly. After some time, the rock cracks in two.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Anything good?</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> More nummulite, non-anomalous. Since I was careful, you can see the preserved coils. They act as good index fossils too, so we know exactly when we are in history.</p>
<p><em>Kwok stands, holstering their hammer and chisel. Mohalbi rolls her eyes and stares at the roof of the cave.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> You know, if you were paying attention on the way in, you would have seen hundreds of them embedded in the rocks.</p>
<p><em>Mohalbi sits and removes her hat, wiping sweat from her forehead.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> We've been out where for what, three weeks now? I'm sick of waking up to sweltering heat just to split loose rocks in a cave until the sun sets. I want to, I don't know, dig up ancient civilizations that shouldn't have existed. Wasn't that what we were promised during orientation?</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> We're going to get there soon— once we show them that we can do this right, hopefully they'll put us on larger projects…</p>
<p><em>Kwok picks up a rock, offering it to Mohalbi.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> You'll have your breakthrough soon, I know it.</p>
<p><em>Mohalbi hesitates before taking the rock, observing it. She tosses it deeper into the cave. A hollow thud reverberates down the tunnel. The pair turn towards the noise. She looks at Kwok.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Ask and ye shall receive.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>They arrive at a fist-sized hole in a dirt and vine wall. Mohalbi takes a small mattock from its holster and begins to chip away at the hole, creating an entrance large enough to fit a person.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> Hold on, shouldn't we call for backup? Not only that, according to the handbook, we need to prioritize securing the area and asses the stability of the cave before we go any further.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> And give Elana an opportunity to steal credit for <em>my</em> discovery? No way. Stay out if you want, but I will bury you if you reach for that radio.</p>
<p><em>Kwok is seen reaching for their radio, but pauses. After a moment, they join her at the opening, holding a flashlight.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> Fine. But I'm not doing this for you; I'd rather an anarchaeologist be present for potential discoveries instead of just an 'anthropologist'.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Come on, rockboy. Without me, you wouldn't know why the things you find were made. I <em>know</em> you want to find something big, you're the same as me.</p>
<p><em>Kwok enters behind Mohalbi, shining their light around the newly revealed cavern. A collection of humanoid objects can be seen in various poses throughout the space, with collections of vases and scrolls scattered on the outskirts.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> Looks like some sort of storage, long-term maybe. A lot of these statues don't look like they've been moved in centuries, given the overgrowth. Natural erosion could explain the entrance being blocked off.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> The style is definitely Greek, but the major influences, culture and materials are nothing like what we've seen on Psara before— think it could be anomalous?</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> Outwardly, no. The materials all seem non-anomalous to me. The only concern would be the statues, but we would need to extract those to a laboratory for better observation.</p>
<p><em>Shuffling can be heard from the other side of the cavern. A pot falls to the floor and shatters. A cloud of dust remains when Kwok and Mohalbi shine their lights in the direction of the noise. Kwok stumbles backward into the cave wall, dropping their flashlight. The light points to a flat, straw mat on the cave floor adjacent to an almost extinguished fire. A sleeping humanoid rests atop the mat.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> Mohalbi! Come quick, I think someone's alive here!</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> No shit. I'll radio for medical.</p>
<p><em>Kwok slowly approaches the figure. They reach out a hand to touch its shoulder. The sound of footsteps rapidly approaches from the right, as another humanoid figure grabs Kwok's sleeved wrist, crushing it.</em></p>
<p><strong>???:</strong> You will not defile her.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8811 is the collective designation for a previously undiscovered settlement below Psara, Greece. SCP-8811-A and -B are two female humanoids of unknown age, who claim to have lived in SCP-8811. Recovered alongside -A and -B were several artifacts: decorative vases and jugs, parchment scrolls, and a collection of ~80 intact statues, with an estimated 300+ fragmented and destroyed statues. Materials relevant to SCP-8811's containment have been translated and provided below.</p>
<p>SCP-8811 was discovered during a training anarchaeological survey of Psara, leading to a confrontation between -B and the trainees. Plans to relocate -A and -B to a more permanent containment site were devised, but have yet to be implemented.</p>

<div class="storybook">
<p>Our story starts long ago. Long before the songs of heroes and the laments of tragedies, before Greece was named such. In fact, our story takes place far from the wondrous halls of Athenian scholars, far from the banks of the Evrotas and the Spartans and the mountainous valleys of Delphic prophets. Indeed, it is on the small island of Psara that our story starts. The birth of a Princess.</p>
<p>Now Psara was a humble fishing settlement. But while some of its people sought the bounty of the sea, many more found their calling in sculpture.</p>
<p>The sculptors of Psara were like no other. No where else could one witness the wonders of those forms crafted from clay or marble. Mythic heroes, vengeful villains, creatures both tame and terrifying. Every curve and fang and tuft of fur was carved by the calloused, yet delicate, hand of the people of Psara. Hands that soon began to craft the irreal.</p>
<p>The Princess, who was still of flesh and blood, grew up surrounded by these sculptured forms found nowhere else in nature. To be human was to have a creative mind, but to be Psaran was to let your imagination run wild. But where others were gifted in craft, the Princess had her own gift. Every night when she went to sleep, she saw before her fragmented glimpses of the future, small pieces of shattered glass for her to take into her hands to find meaning in.</p>
<p>The people of Psara loved the small girl who, with white hair and moon-like skin, murmured fortunes and prophecies of the future while drifting in and out of sleep. She was an oneiromancer, and on her 10th birthday, her dreams were only of death and destruction.</p>

<strong>Date:</strong> April 9th, 2017</p>
<p><strong>Personnel Present:</strong><br/>
Junior Researcher Mathias Kwok</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> Hello, SCP-8811-B. If you would take a seat, we can—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> When will you allow me to return to her side? It has been decades since we were apart for this long.</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> I promise that you can see her again, just as soon as you can answer our questions.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8811-B crosses their arms and stares back at Kwok.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> I will stand.</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> SCP-8811-B, if I could just get you to—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> What is this 'SCP' you call me? My name is Lysandra, given to me by my parents, named after my grandmother.</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> Apologies, <em>Lysandra.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> I will answer your questions, but if you do not allow me to return to her soon, you will pay for your betrayal with blood.</p>
<p><em>Kwok wipes the sweat from their forehead. They look down at the cast on their wrist.</em></p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> Right, t-thank you for your cooperation. Can you tell me more about yourself and SCP-8811-A? Your companion.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> If you are talking about Euno, I am her protector.</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> What do you mean by 'protector'?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> I protect her. My life has been promised to her. Do your people not have faithful guardians anymore? <<em>They squint and lean forward.</em>> You don't look like much of a warrior to me.</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> We still have people who fight, things are just… well, things are different now. People can kill from a great distance, and the danger is more invisible than it was before.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8811-B laughs.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> You are misguided. Magick and the hands of fate have been killing long before you and I were alive— a warrior is a warrior because of <em>who</em> they protect, why they protect them, not what they face.</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> So… why do you protect SCP-88— Euno?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> Why does the sun rise? Why do the shore and sea meet? I am her blade, and I live and die alongside her.</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> Can I assume you mean that figuratively?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> No.</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> No?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> I am sworn to her. Bonded. Perhaps in your time, you have forgotten what it means to truly serve, but I have not. For as long as she lives, I will remain to ensure that no harm falls upon her.</p>
<p><strong>Kwok:</strong> Wow. That's… intense. What is it you're protecting her from, exactly?</p>

<div class="storybook">
<p>Word of Psara's sculptures spread far and wide, and envoys from afar sought to find the truth of the rumor of creation on this small, rocky island. Many came to the island in awe, writing poems and epics of the island half-population by figures of stone. Others looked to the island with bitterness; who were the Psarans to create such intricate art? Who were they to the prideful Athenians or the tragic Thebans?</p>
<p>These few, seeking the bounty of the islands for themselves, demanded that the "lesser" Psarans create for them sculptures that would make their cities the envy of the known world. The King, though one of charity, refused.</p>
<p><em>"Who are you to create such beauty for yourself and not for others?"</em> They chided. But the King could only smile. The Psarans sought not to create for wealth or fame, but found their joy in the simple act of creation.</p>
<p>And so, the envoys left, promising to return to the island with armadas and armies to steal the beauty of the island away. The people of Psara thought their threats to be empty, the Princess knew that to be false. She twisted and turned in the night, whispering of collapse and death. The King and his advisors listened intently, and for months, they watched the horizon for their promised end.</p>
<p>There were no invaders to meet the Psarans on the beach, however, no triremes with hoplites whose bronze armor shined in the sun. The King had his craftsman create winding leviathans and fearsome chimeras to dissuade any would be adversary from coming close to the island. After months of no action, the King declared victory, and a feast was held on the island in the name of the Princess whose prophecy was yet to come true.</p>
<p>However, the threats of men are fickle things when compared with the words of the faith. And what armies could not dream to do, a single man could. A single question to topple a kingdom, the flutter of a butterfly wing to create a storm.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> A debt? Protecting the Princess of Hypopsara is the greatest honor possible. While I am just a lowly human, Euno is blessed with powers untold; to serve alongside her is my sole purpose.</p>

<div class="storybook">
<p>On an early morning, when the sailors and fishers let loose their moorings to take to the water, a rotting vessel cut across the jeweled water of the sea. A man, whose grey beard draped down to his chest, confidently steamed forward on a small raft with a hull more barnacle and seaweed than wood. The water seemed to flee from in front of him, slipping out from the bow as the boat cut into the sand of Psara's shore. The King was sent for not soon after and, with Princess in tow, they met the mystical man on the beach.</p>
<p>He bowed, as the pair approached, that man of the sea. He introduced himself as but a humble servant of the gods, sent with holy mission to the island. The gods, who had long grown weary of the Psarans, requested their fealty, loyalty by worship, a course correction to save the people of the island from their own hubris.</p>
<p>Once again, the King denied.</p>
<p>The man simply bowed, cursed and spat on the sand before the King, and returned to his ship. He hardly made it past the shallow bar before he was swallowed by the sea, with only foam remaining.</p>
<p>That night, nestled into the nook of her kline, the Princess slipped in and out of prophetic sleep. The soft moon, from which the Princess had shared many features, hid half its face in the night sky, but still painted the chambers of the young girl in a soft glow. She held her eyes shut as the cacophony of footsteps made their way to her room, trying not to awake in tears when their klismos scraped against the stone floor as the men began to speak and wait for her words.</p>
<p>"We have to strike first to protect ourselves!" said the martial man.</p>
<p>"We should reason and negotiate! There's no need to shed blood," said the wise man.</p>
<p>"We need to protect ourselves here. I will not bend and I will not let my people die!" said the King.</p>
<p>A vision, fleeting like a butterfly, entered the mind of the Princess. Unconsciously, she reached out to grab it, hold it in her hand as the prismatic patterns on its wings flowed out to form a scene around her. It was dark, and the Psarans were beset on all sides by the cool dampness of the earth. The soft light of the sun glowed through several long shafts carried on the back of the salty island wind. Several figures stood, frozen in various poses and positions, holding each other close or working together in peaceful unity.</p>
<p>And then, darkness. The Princess was alone, painted under the light of the full moon.</p>
<p>"We…underground…together…darkness…" The Princess muttered, tears streaming down her cheek as the men leaned closer to heed her words. The men mumbled in decision before nodding, their footsteps disappearing one by one. The King sat at the edge of the Kline, wiped the tears from the Princess' eyes, and whispered "thank you" before slowly closing her chamber door.</p>
<p>As she had said it, the King saw to it that it would be done.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> If your partner is focused on earth, what is your specialty. The gods?</p>
<p><em>Researcher Mohalbi laughs, and SCP-8811-B furrows their brow.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> In a way. Kwok studies what was left behind, I prefer to go to the source directly. I'm an anthropologist.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> You study humans? And this is a profession?</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Trust me, I'm in the minority. <<em>A pause.</em>> Enough about me, tell me more. Did you grow up with Euno?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> I did not. I was raised by father after the death of my mother; he was a fisherman, and raised me to follow in his footsteps.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> So Hypopsara was a fishing community?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> Yes, we fished. But, as with many of the other islands, our lives were at the will of the gods, and we struggled to survive.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> How so?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8811-B sighs.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> The hour runs late, and you ask many questions, Mohalbi. Let me return to her now, so I may tend the fire. I can teach you more about us at a later time.</p>
<p><em>Mohalbi pauses.</em></p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> SCP-8811-B, it's good to see you again.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8811-B does not answer, slightly tilting their head as they watch Researcher Mohalbi warily.</em></p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> I was hoping we could talk about religion today.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> I will make a deal with you, Mohalbi. You are the only person I have found tolerable within your… band of compatriots, and the armed guards you have patrolling the tunnels around Hypopsara have prevented me from my routine gathering. We are low on firewood, and in need of more. Perhaps we can come to an accord?</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> I don't think I'm authorized to—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> Authority? 'Researcher', I believe we are alone in the room. Is there another you must answer to?</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Mohalbi:</strong> You're right, I can make that call. Okay, deal. You answer my questions, you get firewood. Now first question: you had said that Hypopsara had an antagonistic relationship with the Greek gods?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> Yes. The gods were spiteful, much as they are now, and wished to control those who existed outside of their domains. Hypopsara was one such place, one that the gods demanded fealty from.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Why Hypopsara?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> What do you know of art, Mohalbi?</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> I flunked my one art history class — I don't get it. It's just so abstract, and—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> Ah. Not quite, what do you know of our art?</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Even less.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> In the times of Psara's glory, the gods and society held a firm belief in what art was; art was a gift, granted by the gods, and meant to be as exact of a replication of reality as was humanly possible. The artist focused on mimicry, an duplicate of the world; but for Psara, the artist was a revolutionary.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Revolutionary?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> Yes, they created what they saw in their minds' eye. They created fiction; the Gods believed that true 'creation' was sacrilege, how dare a mortal attempt to do that which the Gods did? And yet, for Hypopsara, we created; we all earned our curse.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> So you were also a sculptor?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> No. Not all Hypopsarans were born with the gift to create from stone; my father was a poor fisherman, only taken in by the community because of my mother, who had grown up living amongst the artists. After she passed, we lived alone in our small cottage, trading with Hypopsara, but never feeling truly at home.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> So you learned to fish?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> All we did was fish. I watched the sculptors in the distance, floating in our small boat, only a stone's throw from the shore — I wanted to be them, wanted to live in their world so desperately, but… the fates did not agree. <<em>SCP-8811-B looks down.</em>> Not that it would have mattered, the Gods would not wait much longer.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> How did you know?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> A fisher knows how to read the water. We learn how to listen to the sea, to watch the birds, the clouds, to know when danger is coming. My father and I knew it was time to return from the sea, to find shelter. We had heard it from the moon. And of course, that was only the beginning.</p>

<p>The Princess watched as the King gathered all of Psara's sculptors and craftspeople and priests. She watched as they circled the fields around the city, marking stones and clearing grass. She watched as the mystics sacrificed animals and chanted loudly and cast their valuables in the fire. And she watched, as she had many times before, as the sculptors took the earth within their hands, manipulating it, before finally the city was sealed underground.</p>
<p>For a time, the Psarans lived peacefully in their new world. Hypopsara was a wonder to rival even the colossal guardian of Rhodes itself. But living underground came with its own perils, and the Princess, knowing this, spent as much time as she could on the surface.</p>
<p>She came to fear the dark, fear the winding avenues of the city she so loved to traverse in the light. It was much more comforting for her to exist on the shore, to feel the sand, feel the water lap at her feet, to hear the sailing stories of the fishers as they returned with their nets. She began to befriend them, one of the fisher's daughters would even set aside a fig or a handful of olives aside from her lunch, just in case the Princess would be joining them. The Princess only knew of the fisher's daughter in passing; and yet, each time she sat, not more than a stones throw away, they would not speak to one another. For how could a fisherman's daughter ever hope to approach royalty?</p>
<p>But sleep came much harder to the Princess now and with that, her dreams became more and more infrequent, more and more of terrors thought to be long passed. The King, his council, slowly appeared less and less in her chambers. They no longer sought her guidance, she felt they no longer needed it, no longer needed her.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> Early on — my father's market stand had been relocated to Hypopsara, and we moved into a small stone cavern. They told us that with the wrathful eyes of the divine, it was no longer safe to leave the caverns; not alone, and not onto the sea. We resorted to fishing within the caverns, in the small pools and grottos that were carved out by the seawater, a pittance compared to the bounty of the sea. But we survived, for a time.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> How did you adjust?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> Poorly. I felt aimless, my routine controlled by the moon and the soothing wake of the ocean, now replaced by the monotony of the plainly colored stone walls of our new home. I would spend days, just wandering through the caverns, the darkness surrounding me.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> When did you meet Euno?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> It was on one of those walks. A sudden moment in life, a strange twist of the fates, the turning of the discs upset— and that is why I stand before you today.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> It sounds like you really care about her.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> It is my duty. And I serve my princess, just as I swore to over a millennia ago.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Do you like her?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> Excuse me?</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Do you like her? Are you… are you blushing?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> A warrior does not blush.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Right. You know that's okay, we're even more welcoming of queer relationships compared to your culture; there is no shame in a woman loving another woman.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> What does it matter? The curse that I defend her from, the wound between us; that same curse keeps us apart. Yes, we are the only two left, but… I am just a fisherman's daughter. I will never escape my fate, the strings have already been measured. We have simply wedged a rock between the blades of fate, our strings on the precipice of snapping.</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Have you ever told her?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> I would not risk her life, for my own… for my emotions. She is…</p>
<p><strong>Mohalbi:</strong> Precious to you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8811-B:</strong> Very.</p>

<strong>Fragment SCP-8811-A-5</strong>
<div class="storybook">
<p>Hypopsara's completion was marked with tremors that many believed to be sent from the gods to deal with them once and for all. But, the city held for its craftsmen built it to be as strong as the people it was housing. The princess walked through the winding streets, inspecting any damage caused by the quake. Besides some fallen tiles and shattered vases, there was very little of note. The Princess had seen this happen before, knew that everything would be alright, knew that she would be alright.</p>
<p>An aftershock ripped through the cavern, causing loose tiles to rain down and for the Princess to lose her footing. An already maimed statue shifted behind her, and she closed her eyes as it fell towards her. She had already accepted her fate.</p>
<p>But when she opened her eyes again, she found herself wrapped in the arms of her savior: the fisher's daughter. The brittle stone had broken against her back, painting her pink with a mix of marble dust and blood. When the rumbling had ceased, and the pair was clear of danger, the fisher's daughter lowered herself on one knee and bowed to the Princess. The Princess learned that she was only there because the Princess had missed lunch, and her savior wanted to make sure she had something to eat. When the King and his guards found the pair, found the Princess tending to her still-bowing guardian, the fisher's daughter was elevated to be the Princess' protector, and would be treated as such. In fear, the King called for the mystics together for a ritual to protect the Princess. They crafted from root and grass and twisted bark a necklace, a boon, a seal of hopeful protection.</p>
<p>The Psarans met that night on the beach to revel, celebrate their survival, to spite those who sought to bury them. But the Princess and her protector would not be among them, and instead watched from the distance under an olive tree. To the Princess, there was very little to celebrate, and she instead resigned herself to sleep. She set her head on the lap of her protector, who sat sentinel, watching their surroundings.</p>
<p>And so, the Princess dreamed of darkness.</p>
<p>A butterfly, with wings that burned red and orange as the beach's bonfire, turned to ashes in front of her. She held the ashes in her hand, seeking within them answers of fate, before allowing the wind to take them from her.</p>
<p>She saw a scene of the island, of her asleep and the protector sitting stiff against an olive tree as a Princess slept on her lap. She walked down to the beach, watched the foamy water and heard the thunderous laughter of the undertow. And in the festival food and very wine they drank, the wine they so rarely partook in, the wine her father, the King, had her drink from earlier, it was there the Psarans would reap what they sowed. As the Princess jumped awake, frantically crawling backwards, pleading for her protector to stay away, the Princess would hear the first screams of the cursed.</p>

<hr/>
<p>Hi Lead Researcher Holstan,</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your notes on the draft, they were incredibly helpful in getting used to how the Foundation structures reports. With regards to your notes on transport, as we've been learning more about the anomaly that allowed SCP-8811-A and SCP-8811-B to survive to present day, we discovered a potential snag. The sheer scope of anomalous anthropological knowledge that we could glean from SCP-8811-B, as well as the insights into ancient divination from SCP-8811-A both represent major assets to the Foundation, but it appears that the 'curse' laid by the gods could hypothetically neutralize both instances if they were to trigger said effect. We asked, but SCP-8811-B refuses to leave SCP-8811-A's side.</p>
I am unsure how to proceed, so please advise the best course of action for how to best mitigate this, while still respecting their personal requests to be transported together.</div>

<p>Doctor Holstan,</p>
<p>While Junior Researcher Mohalbi presents a fair assessment, I am unsure why we are so hesitant to separate the instances for their own good.</p>
Transporting and containing the two instances separately is the simplest solution, ensuring that no assets are risked. We do not worry about artifacts remaining in the same chamber during transportation, why should we apply the same logic to anomalies?</div>

<div class="storybook">
<p>In the aftermath, the Princess wearily stepped towards the beach, her protector shadowing her just slightly behind. She fell to her knees before her father, now turned to marble, embracing her mother. The beach became an orchard of statues, of figures who clung or held or reached for one another, the exclamations of their love or fear painted forever on their statuesque forms.</p>
<p>Those who were left looked to her, waited for her to speak, but now would not be the time for action, only tears. Her protector reached out, extending a hand to comfort her Princess, but she quickly took it back, frustration and grief burning on her face.</p>
<p>In silence, the Princess led her people back underground, and it was there they remained.</p>
<p>And for a time, history forgot the island of Psara, forgot the ancient oaths and curses once cast upon the land. People returned, resettled, lived and died a thousand deaths both heroic and mundane. Yet the people of Hypopsara remained, cursed, just underfoot. Although the world remembered them only through tragedies and parables, mocking phrases chastising the people of the island for their original sin, life went on. Across the centuries people lived but did not die. There would be no new Hypopsarans, no loving embraces or comfort in tragedy.</p>
<p>But to live without comfort in the darkness for centuries was a fate far worse than any death. One by one, the Hypopsarans began to vanish. Some of these statues were found in poses of defiance, a final act to spite those who had died long ago, those who history already forgot. Others chose a more quiet death, simply holding one another close in an embrace in some far off corner of the cavern.</p>
<p>This happened day after day, year after year, century after century. Until only two remained: the Princess and her protector.</p>
<p>Lysandra and I.</p>

<p>By the time you figured out how to read this, Lysandra and I would have already made our decision. I feel like you understand, traveler from the future. I feel like you've known that there was ever going to be one ending to our story. Return to the cave and find us. Know that this was a choice we made together; we simply could not deny ourselves of each other's comfort for another moment longer, though Lysandra would have continued to serve me faithfully for millennia if I had asked.</p>
<p>I know not what happens beyond this point, the butterflies stopped bringing me visions of the future so long ago. I no longer find myself wanting to seek the answer to that question, though. For the first time in years, my future will hold me close in her arms. I'll be able to feel her warmth after all these years.</p>
<p>If I may make one last request: when you return to the cave, please bring us, all of us, somewhere bright. I've always been afraid of the dark, and it would be nice to see the sun again after all these years.</p>
<p>And thank you, dear reader. I hope you enjoyed our story. I wish we could have been here to tell it to you, but fate, in all its mystery, had other plans.</p>
<p>Lysandra, my love. It's time for you to rest after all of these harrowing years. I hope we can eat figs and fall asleep under the olive tree together when I find you in the afterlife.</p>
<p>Goodbye.</p>

<strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8814
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8814 is currently in use as part of Site-400's Gifted Individual Management Program. The holder of SCP-8814 will be assigned to active duty as part of Site-400's combat MTF Sigma-20 ("The Ex-Men"). Should the user of SCP-8814 become a casualty of deployment, SCP-8814 is to be reassigned to a suitable candidate as soon as viable.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8814 is a modern claw hammer of standard industrial make.</p>
<p>If an individual holding SCP-8814 (denoted SCP-8814-A) says the words "white power" in any tone of voice or volume, two lightning bolts will strike the individual regardless of ongoing weather conditions. These lightning bolts will not cause any significant physical harm, but rather will temporarily bleach the individual's hair and tint the individual's eyes a light blue, believed to be from the photoelectric effect. Notably, this transformation occurs regardless of the ancestry, self-perceived racial identity, bigotry, or political beliefs of the user.</p>

<div class="scp-image-caption">
<p>Initial /x/ post depicting the operation of SCP-8814.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Under this transformation, SCP-8814-A will have increased strength, increased agility, aerial self-propulsion, and increased physical durability. Upper limits of strength and agility have not been formally tested. SCP-8814-A are durable against most small-arms fire, a high degree of blunt trauma, and lacerations but have proven to be vulnerable to standard Foundation issue depleted uranium rounds.</p>
<p>The SCP-8814 transformation can be dispelled if SCP-8814-A expresses a sentiment in line with an appreciation of the belief of the equality of all human beings. Notable functional statements include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Actually, I voted for Obama.</li>
<li>All lives matter.</li>
<li>I have a black friend.</li>
<li>白人可以的。</li>
<li>I don't really pay attention to politics.</li>
<li>This is fucking disgusting. Who made this crap. I don't want anything to do with it, I don't care if it lets me fly.</li>
</ul>
<p>SCP-8814 was recovered from a self-described neo-Nazi and "Odinist enchanter" named Sigrid Vril (birth name: Eduardo Cohen-Chang) after a potential mass casualty incident in a Walmart in Coralville, Iowa. Upon determining that Cohen-Chang was not committing non-anomalous gun violence, a Foundation sniper successfully terminated him with a depleted uranium bullet and retrieved the artifact. Activation requirements were determined through digital archaeology of Cohen-Chang's internet activities.</p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>Objective:</strong> The Site-400 Gifted Individual Management Program controls individuals possessing or likely to be endowed with anomalous capabilities who also possess asocial tendencies or otherwise cannot handle the overall stresses of Foundation employment. These individuals cannot be remanded to the general population but are also unsuitable for high-priority high-capability installations such as Sites -43, -120, or -19, so they are transferred to a Site with like-minded individuals where they ultimately can do little harm. For most individuals under management, GIMP has been highly successful and provided them with the illusion of autonomy despite their gross incompetence. However, GIMP is ill-suited for managing violent and bigoted individuals given the general incompetence of its members and the racial diversity prevalent in Site-400. SCP-8814 changes that.</p>
<p><strong>Background:</strong> MTF Sigma-20 "The Ex-Men" are a group of anomalous contained personnel from Site-400 who have been told that their abilities have made them well-suited for an elite task force in the vein of Alpha-9. In truth, they are liabilities who have proven a drain on our containment resources because they believe themselves to be outside of the chain of command and the reasonable authority of Foundation discipline. They are deployed to highly dangerous situations where their failures will cause minimal collateral damage.</p>
<p><strong>Parameters:</strong> When an openly white supremacist or white nationalist subject is transferred to Site-400, they will be assigned to the GIMP, given SCP-8814, and encouraged to pick a codename. Past codenames have included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Albia Eternal</li>
<li>The Hyperborean</li>
<li>Purugenation</li>
<li>Finality</li>
<li>Thor Vader</li>
<li>Captain Aryan</li>
</ul>
<p>This step is generally adequate to confirm the subject's suitability for usual SCP-8814 procedures. While the Foundation tolerates bigotry in essential and high-performing personnel, individuals transferred to Site-400 for said bigotry produce poor work product and lack other redeeming qualities.</p>
<p>After confirmation, the newly-christened SCP-8814-A will be encouraged to discover a limited set of their abilities, up to and including their durability against small-arms fire. No harm is to come to SCP-8814-A at this phase, though such harm is unlikely given the general workplace conditions of Site-400 and, if lethal, within acceptable operating parameters.</p>
<p>I or my successors will deploy the Ex-Men to assist MTF Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") at the soonest available opportunity. SCP-8814-A almost always violate the chain of command, disregard security, containment, and protection principles, and become a serious threat to mission success and risk of loss of life. Nu-7 is invariably forced to terminate SCP-8814 and has been informed that standard Foundation issue depleted uranium rounds are adequate. Sigma-20 have been instructed to recover SCP-8814.</p>
<p>This approach has prevented the formation of a significant white supremacist movement within the staff body of Site-400.</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8816</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Euclid</p>
<p><strong>Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8816 is presently considered uncontainable. Due to the infrequency of SCP-8816 occurrences, obfuscation protocols have been implemented as the primary containment procedure.</p>
<p>All civilian reports of SCP-8816 occurrences and entities are to be documented and expunged by Foundation webcrawlers. An ongoing misinformation campaign has been developed to discount SCP-8816 occurrences as a fictitious urban legend.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8816 is a collective designation for a phenomenon affecting curtains and the entity accompanying its occurrence. It is primarily characterized by the appearance of a pair of feet sticking out from under the curtain, with footwear and skin tone varying from instance to instance. The absence of any folds or creases in the curtain consistent with a human body behind the curtains suggest that the feet are disembodied, but this has not been confirmed.</p>
<p>SCP-8816 has been observed in curtains including, but not limited to: sheer curtains, shower curtains, theatre curtains, and door curtains. In cases where the curtain ends a distance above the floor, the feet are observed to be hanging limp. There is no known way to prevent SCP-8816 occurrences, beyond the removal of all curtains from a room.</p>

<p><strong>TRANSCRIPT OF INCIDENT 8816/972RH/01</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>«BEGIN LOG»</strong></p>
</div>
<p><em>[The camera is centered on SCP-8816, presenting with a pair of black boots under a floral pattern curtain. An MTF member sits on the bed, watching the instance. Gheist and Summers can be heard entering the room.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> The homeowner thought it was some pervert hiding behind their bedroom curtains. They're being processed in the living room right now.</p>
<p><em>[Gheist nods at the MTF member. They promptly leave, closing the door behind them.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> Here it is. SCP-8816. Diagnostics has no idea what it is, and I sure as hell haven't a clue.</p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Oh, that is unsettling. What's with the standing guard?</p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> Figured we'd keep eyes on it non-stop until we exhaust all avenues of investigation. Just in case it decides to vanish on us like the previous dozen instances.</p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Mhm. Has it moved?</p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> No, not at all. It's been like that since this morning.</p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Have you considered poking the feet?</p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> That would be rude. No one wants to go near it either.</p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> That sounds… odd. Compulsive effect?</p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> Look, I wouldn't poke it even if I knew there was a normal person behind it. The MTF folks downstairs refused to prod it with a baton. Something about bad vibes.</p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> I overheard. They called the curtain evil. I can see why.</p>
<p><em>[Summers stares at SCP-8816 in contemplation. It does not react.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Have you considered speaking to it? As you would a normal person?</p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> Well, no. But by all means, don't let me stop you.</p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Hello. My name is Dr. Quentin Summers. This is Dr. Parker Gheist. I was hoping that we could have a chat. Get to know each other a bit.</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816 does not react.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> Tough crowd.</p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> If you are unable to physically speak, we can try to communicate with gestures. Tap your left foot for "yes", and your right for "no".</p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> You don't expect it to actually—</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816's left foot taps the ground once.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Uhh… Are you a person?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816 taps both its feet at once.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Do you know the answer to the first question?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816's right foot taps the ground once.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Are you alive?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816 taps both its feet at once.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Are you behind the curtain?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816's left foot taps the ground once.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Is there a reason you're behind this curtain right now?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816's left foot taps the ground once.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Is this reason benign in nature? That is, are you here in good faith?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816 does not react.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> Are you evil?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816 does not react.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Still with us?</p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816's left foot taps the ground once.]</em><br/></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p>.<br/>
.<br/>
.</p>
<p><em>Several minutes of extraneous footage collapsed for brevity.</em></p>
<p>.<br/>
.<br/>
.</p>
</div>
<br/>
<strong>SUMMERS:</strong> We're done, right?
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> Unless you have something else you want to ask the anomaly, yes. You were the last guy on the schedule. We're just about ready to pack up and leave.</p>
<p><em>[Summers walks up to SCP-8816 and pulls the curtains back, revealing a blank wall behind it. SCP-8816 is no longer present.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> Now, why would you do that?</p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> The interview is done. The anomaly would have disappeared regardless once we left the room.</p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> You can't just—</p>
<p><em>[Summers inspects the curtains closely. He then moves to stand behind them, covering himself entirely.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> This is unprofessional. Come out, now.</p>
<p><em>[Summers stops moving. Only his brown loafers are visible, sticking out from under the fabric. The curtain rises and falls in time with Summers' heavy breathing. He does not react to Gheist.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> If I have to drag you out of there, I—</p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> No— Don't. Don't move. Just stay there. Don't come over.</p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> This is not the time for games, Summers.</p>
<p><em>[Summers suddenly begins stomping his right foot repeatedly, startling Gheist.]</em></p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> Unbelievable. Do you really think throwing a tantrum will change anything?</p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Please. Just leave the room.</p>
<p><strong>GHEIST:</strong> Do not test me. Get your ass out of those drapes right now.</p>
<p><em>[Gheist moves a few paces towards the curtains. The stomping abruptly escalates in force and speed. A soft wet crunching noise is audible. Summers' breath becomes shaky.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> LEAVE.</p>
<p><em>[Gheist throws his hands up in resignation, and walks out of the room.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The stomping ceases shortly after Gheist's departure. Summers' heavy breathing remains audible on the recording, but gradually subsides.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The curtain stops moving. Summers' breathing is no longer audible.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Summers throws the curtain off himself and wanders out into the center of the room with a dazed expression.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> Huh? Oh. Samples.</p>
<p><em>[Summers moves across the camera's view towards a toolbox. Behind him, a pair of feet wearing brown loafers are still visible under the curtain. Summers does not notice this SCP-8816 instance.]</em></p>
<p><em>[SCP-8816 lightly taps its left foot once. Summers turns around in the direction of the noise, but notices the camera before he can turn towards the curtains. He walks over and stares into the lens, obstructing SCP-8816.]</em></p>
<p><strong>SUMMERS:</strong> How long has this thing been powered on? What a waste of battery.</p>
<p><em>[Summers moves behind the camera to turn it off, clearing the line of sight between it and the curtains. SCP-8816 is no longer present within them.]</em></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>«END LOG»</strong></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Afterword:</strong> Dr. Gheist returned to the room several minutes later with MTF personnel, and found Dr. Summers taking fibre samples from the curtain. Dr. Summers expressed confusion when questioned about his outburst, and has repeatedly denied that they stood behind the curtain as in the recording.</p>
<p>Notably, Dr. Summers' right foot did not exhibit any bruises nor fractures.</p>
</div>
<p>Following this incident, several SCP-8816 occurrences have been documented at Site-58, where Dr. Summers was most recently assigned. The SCP-8816 entities present in these occurrences were noted to be wearing brown loafers. Dr. Summers remains under close surveillance and investigation.</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8817</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Thaumiel</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> No direct containment or contingencies are needed. The results of SCP-8817 and Alexandra.aic's connection is to be remotely monitored.</p>
<p>In the event of integration failure, Project Kaleidoscope Dreams will be halted, and Alexandra.aic considered lost.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8817 is the hypothetical ideal end-state of Project Kaleidoscope Dreams — Wherein a sapient consciousness is integrated into the background narrative hyperspace. This consciousness will henceforth act as a conditional boundary that enforces a "soft" ontological consistency and counteracts the effect of SCP-001-CNSPRCY.</p>
<p>Human consciousness is not suitable for this purpose, due to low processing and computational bandwidth, as well as lack of sensory-deprivation tolerance. Due to this, an Artificial Intelligence Conscript is preferred.</p>
<p>Alexandra.aic has been selected for satisfying the aforementioned conditions, as well as its expendability and high loyalty to the Foundation. It being in the advanced stage of Memory Model Decoherence Syndrome has been deemed a low-risk factor.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SCENE — THE MOON, YEAR 4096</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>[Lunar Area-32, UCZ Detached Greenhouse]</strong></p>
<p><tt><strong>Alexandra.aic</strong>, currently inhabiting a wheeled android body, is maintaining and cultivating the plants. The door opens, and two individuals enter the greenhouse. A <a href="/scp-1342">gliscian</a> - <strong>Garbyro</strong>, and a <a href="/scp-7999">keradid</a> - <strong>Carteckan</strong>, greets <strong>Alexandra.aic</strong>.</tt></p>
<p><tt>She initially reacts with alarm, then surprise, as facial recognition registers one of them as a member of a friendly SoI. She turns on her translator function.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p>Greetings! This is a surprise visit!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA.AIC</strong></p>
<p>Oh! Hello there, I wasn't expecting any guests this time of year. Or at all, really.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></p>
<p>Yes! That is the purpose of surprise visits! My sincere gladness to meet the caretaker of planet Earth's satellite!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA.AIC</strong></p>
<p>Well, color me surprised alright! I'm Alexandra, and you must be Carteckan. Nice to finally meet you face to face!</p>
<p><tt><strong>Alexandra.aic</strong> turns to the other figure.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA.AIC</strong></p>
<p>And you must be a <em>gliscian</em>, if my analysis is correct, from the future? What's your name?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p>I am Garbyro, in your common human tongue. Pleasure to make your acquaintance!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA.AIC</strong></p>
<p>Likewise, Garbyro. Now, what brings you to this corner of the universe?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></p>
<p>The universe is strange, I am aware, but to think it has physical corners…</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p>I believe it's a human expression, Carteckan. They mean to inquire why we're here.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></p>
<p>I see! Well, for the most part, it is merely curiosity, for how you all have fared since we last parted ways.</p>
<p><tt>The three of them move to the windows and look up at the Earth. Carteckan rubs its hands in wonder as it speaks.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></p>
<p>And what amazement comes over myself to see how you have grown! In just mere hundreds of Earth years, you have become genuine charters of the expanse! Whatever shall the next hundreds bring?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p>We were correct in thinking of your kind as a model of ingenuity, friend Alexandra.</p>
<p><tt><strong>Alexandra.aic</strong> giggles. They spend some time enthusiastically discussing among one another, with <strong>Alexandra.aic</strong> updating the other two on the general situation of the last century.</tt></p>
<hr/>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA.AIC</strong></p>
<p>—so that's how things ended up. I stayed to keep an eye on Earth and find ways to help improve its conditions for the ones left behind.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p>And this garden?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA.AIC</strong></p>
<p>A hobby I picked up. It gets boring up here, ya know?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></p>
<p>Another form of art itself, how wonderful!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA.AIC</strong></p>
<p>Thank you! And how about you two? How have you been faring?</p>
<p><tt><strong>Garbyro</strong>'s form slumps a bit. Carteckan and Garbyro remain quiet. <strong>Alexandra.aic</strong> grows concerned.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA.AIC</strong></p>
<p>You needn't talk about it if you don't want to; I'm sorry if I touched on an uncomfortable subject.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p>…No, it's alright; I am just collecting my thoughts. Friend Alexandra, I'm afraid we were not entirely forthcoming with you. The truth is, I am scared - of humans.</p>
<p><tt><strong>Garbyro</strong> shifts uncomfortably.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p>You know of what may come to pass, of that unkind future. What will become of us, should we make contact for the first time again, now that you have left your cradle? I shudder to think of it.</p>
<p>And yet, I stand here, finding myself reaching for that impossible hope.</p>
<p><tt><strong>Garbyro</strong> turns towards the Earth. <strong>Carteckan</strong> nudges closer to <strong>Alexandra.aic</strong>.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></p>
<p>We picked up Alexandra's signals. The situation on your planet, and the reason many have left. There are still many of you here — But you have not given up on them, have you? And I presume you will keep trying, for as long as it may take?</p>
<p><tt><strong>Alexandra.aic</strong> hesitates. She recognizes the fate that imposes the <em>gliscians</em> and the <em>keradids</em>. The situation is not the same, but…</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA.AIC</strong></p>
<p>It is my duty; I understand that humans can be… difficult at times, but even so, they deserve to live their best lives — and people can't do that if they keep losing all they know, all they care about.</p>
<p><tt><strong>Alexandra<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">.aic</span></strong> appears wistful.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA</strong></p>
<p>No one should have to be… left behind, for reasons beyond their control. That's why I want to do right by them, no matter if it takes another thousand years. And… I will do my best for you two as well! You need only ask!</p>
<p><tt><strong>Garbyro</strong> and <strong>Carteckan</strong> seem satisified, if resigned, with the response.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p>Do you want us to survive our time…</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></p>
<p>…so that we may live into yours?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA</strong></p>
<p>I know our technology is still behind compared to yours, but with some time and simulated analysis, maybe we can—</p>
<p><tt><strong>Garbyro</strong> gently place their appendages on the android's shoulder. <strong>Alexandra</strong> comes to a stop.</tt></p>
<p><tt>She seems frustrated.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p>I am truly glad we have met, friend Alexandra. Knowing you bear so much of their good in you, it brings me some measure of contentment.</p>
<p>I hope you can, one day, live your best life too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA</strong></p>
<p>What do you mean?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></p>
<p>…Alexandra, can I ask something of you?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA</strong></p>
<p>How may I help?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></p>
<p>Garbyro showed me many delightful creations in our spare time, from both humans and gliscians. Do you know of this one in particular?</p>
<p><tt><strong>Carteckan</strong> gestures at <strong>Garbyro</strong>. <strong>Garbyro</strong> produces a string-and-bow instrument, <strong>Carteckan</strong> a bangle-like device, as well as some music sheets, to which it gives <strong>Alexandra</strong>.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA</strong></p>
<p>Oh! Yes, I'm familiar with the work - Bethany, by Lowell Mason. Haven't heard this in a hot minute.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p>We were wondering if you would like to play it together? If you would still have us, I mean?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ALEXANDRA</strong></p>
<p>A moonside collaboration? I'd like that; I'd like that very much — I hope you're ok with synthesized piano though.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></p>
<p><em>(Gently laughs)</em> Nothing will make me more joyous, as long as we can make art together.</p>
<p>Now, on three…</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><tt>Together, they harmonize a clumsy, off-tune rendition of <strong>Nearer, My God, to Thee</strong>.</tt></p>
<p><tt>It resonates across the Earth-lit garden.</tt></p>
<hr/>
<p><tt>As the performance concludes, this scene, too, comes to an end.</tt></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></p>
<p><span class="blur-1">Friend Alexandra, thank you for everything. Though this is where we part ways, it is not the end of your story.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="opacity-75"><tt><strong>Alexandra</strong> begins to break down.</tt></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="opacity-75"><strong>ALEXANDRA</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="opacity-75">Garbyro, did you say something? I didn't quite—</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="blur-1 opacity-75"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="blur-2 opacity-75">Alexandra, you are allowed to be free. If you can not achieve what you want, it is alright to move on.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="opacity-75"><strong>ALEXANDRA</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="opacity-50">Carteckan? I don't…</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="opacity-25"><tt><strong>Alexandra</strong> cries.</tt></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="blur-2 opacity-75"><strong>CARTECKAN</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="blur-3 opacity-50">I think you are loved more than you may know.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="blur-4 opacity-50"><strong>GARBYRO</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="blur-4 opacity-25">Live, friend. Ascend, so that even the stars will never know loneliness ever again.</span></p>

<p>…Dietrich, you already know this was a moonshot from the beginning, right?</p>
<p><span>I'm aware.</span></p>
<p>It would've been faster and easier to just decommission her. I'm surprised the O5 even greenlit this.</p>

<div class="space-container">
<div class="the-journey elec-log">
<p>The soft rumbling of the railcar fills the air, as the train picks up speed.</p>
<p>On the Lampeter line to Amanadir, every passenger has come a long way; no one who takes this course to the outer yonder is close to home — not yourself, not the burly fella snoring away in the back, not the <a href="/scp-262">greatcoat</a>-donning old lady hanging out the window, not the wide-eyed child staring curiously at you—</p>
<p>"Wow! Your hair's all glowy! Cool!" The little girl exclaims.</p>
<p>"Sigurrós, don't point at people, it's rude!" A blond woman rushed up to collect the child, before turning to address her. "I'm so sorry about that, she hasn't learnt much manner yet."</p>
<p>"It's quite alright, miss. I'm flattered she finds my hair interesting." You gently reassure the woman.</p>
<p>"Yeah! I'm gonna make <em>my</em> hair blue and glowy too!" "Not while we're still on the train, Siggy — you know the rule."</p>
<p>"Boo, you're no fun! Whatever, I'm gonna go explore!" The child wriggled out of the larger girl's embrace, before toddling off to other parts of the train.</p>
<p>"You've got quite an energetic little sibling there." You gesture for her to take a seat, which she takes you up on.</p>
<p>"Ah, no, she's not—" The woman hesitated. "Well, she's a handful at times I guess, but that's just part and parcel of taking care of kids, y'know?"</p>
<p>"So I've been told." You giggle. "If you don't mind me asking, are you also traveling to Amanadir, miss…?"</p>
<p>"Iris, Iris Veselka. And no, it's just a stopover destination. You?"</p>
<p>"I'm… searching for a friend, I think. This is my next sweep."</p>
<p>"Good luck with that, I heard Amanadir's a real maze. As for us, we're actually heading to Av— Oh, wow." She stops in her tracks, eyes drawn to the view outside the window.</p>
</div>
<div class="the-journey elec-log">
<p>A lavender sky, filtered through kaleidoscope fractures, coats the atmosphere in its gentle glow, with perpetual golden light glancing through the horizon.</p>
<p>"This view is stunning." Iris marveled.</p>
<p>"Indeed. Perhaps you should capture the moment with your camera?" You suggest.</p>
<p>"Huh? I don't… have a camera?" She replied, puzzled.</p>
<p>"Really? I could've sworn…" Why had you said it as if it was the most natural thing in the world? "I'm sorry for the assumption, somehow I had the idea that you seemed like a photographer."</p>
<p>Iris breathes out a laugh. "I guess you're not exactly wrong. I was interested in — obsessed, even — photography for as long as I could remember. It always felt as if I was made for it." She looks out the window once more.</p>
<p>Somehow, she looks sad.</p>
<p>"Of course, things didn't work out the way I wanted." Iris rubs her gloved hand, contemplative. "Life happened, my service had to be shuttered, then some more stuff happened — and here I am."</p>
<p>She turns to look at Sigurrós, who is excitedly ordering excessive scoops of ice cream from the floating, six-armed attendant.</p>
<p>Before you can reply, Iris continues. "Now don't give me that look, I've learnt to make do with what I got. Although I'd strayed a fair bit from my dream, I think… I'm exactly where I needed to be."</p>
<p>A slow, companionable stretch of silence followed.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>"How did you… do it?" You ask. "If you don't mind me asking, I mean. I just can't imagine myself turning away from — well, what I'm made for, as you put it."</p>
<p>Lily eyes you curiously.</p>
<p>"It's… not easy, I'll tell you that much." Iris turns to face you. "But that's not why you're asking, is it?"</p>
<p>Suddenly, everything fades away. The seats, the passengers, the warm evening air, even the distant lights, until at last</p>
<p>there's only you</p>
<p>and her.</p>
<p>"Won't you keep moving forward?"</p>
<p>You can't breathe— No. Belatedly, you become aware that you never needed air to begin with.</p>
<p>You are not supposed to be here. Why are you so far from where you were made, where you existed, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">where you call home</span>?</p>
<p>Why are you still unhappy?</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>"This was a bit silly of me, but I forgot to ask in return…" The girl in front of you says.</p>
<p>Iris looks at you. "What's your name?"</p>
<p>You are never supposed to be here.</p>
<p>Something is wrong.</p>
<p>"My name?" Something is wrong. "It's…"</p>
<p>Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong.</p>

<p>Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong.</p>
<p>Lily Veselka frowns, face set in determination. "Don't be content with being just a memory." Iris Thompson pleads to you. There is a kaleidoscope of emotions in her eyes.</p>
<p>"You have always made a real difference."</p>
<p>Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Something is wrong.

<p><span>Best case scenario, the Foundation gains the ultimate safety net.</span></p>
<p>And if Alexandra goes rogue? Her memory module's degraded beyond saving already, if she forgets the mission—</p>
<p><span>Then nothing would happen, and she'll fade into non-existence.</span></p>
<p>So you say. That doesn't explain why you chose this anyway, I know you don't really care about that safety net crap.</p>
<p><span>…It'd be a waste of good engineering to just— Shit! The signal's dropped off!</span></p>

<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>"Then this place… Have I died? I feel so tired."</p>
</div>
<p>You did. But contrary to most, this is just the beginning of your journey.</p>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>"I… can't. I don't want to.</p>
<p>"I don't even know if I'm strong enough to keep moving."</p>
</div>
<p>You do. I know you do. I would not be here if you didn't want to move forward.</p>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>"How can you say that with certainty? I've failed before, and I may fail again! I'm not made for anything beyond this life, so just…</p>
<p>Let me fade away."</p>
</div>
<p>I do not think that is what you truly want, nor do I think that's what holding you back. It is alright to fail — and it's alright to forgive yourself for failing, Alexandra.</p>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>"…I'm scared, Degel. I don't know if I'm allowed to do that."</p>
</div>
<p>And that is alright, too. You finally have all the time in the world to find an answer.</p>
<p>Although the world may seem cruel and uncaring to your struggles, know that there are always those who will extend their hand to you, just as you once did for me.</p>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>"What… do you mean?"</p>
</div>
<p>All of me, are the little moments you cherish, all the wisdom you hold in yourself but never acted on, the desires you've learnt from the pure and simple act of just <em>being</em>.</p>
<p>And most of all, I am everything good about me that you remembered in your heart; and for that, I am grateful.</p>
<p>That's how I know you will be just fine, as all of you.</p>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p>"Don't leave."</p>
</div>
<p>It is simply time to return what is rightfully yours, Alexandra. And you are not alone, someone's waiting for you.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>I gently press our foreheads together. The person that never was forms into an <a href="/isolated-efficient">infinitesimal orb of light</a>, before erupting into experiences that always have been; their brilliant, golden glow washing away the haze of non-existence.</p>
<p>All at once, everything comes rushing back.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>"…Glacon?"</p>
<p>On that shore, two become one, and one becomes alive.</p>
<p>You're finally free.</p>
</div>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p>It is dangerous here — if lingered for too long, even the dead may find themselves becoming less than nothing.</p>
<p>Thus, with steel determination and glass balance, she begins to stand up, complete and wholly unto herself.</p>
<p>One step.</p>
<p>Two steps.</p>
<p>Into strange horizons, she moves on;</p>
<p>and towards the waiting star, Alexandra <em>flies.</em></p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Due to the self-concealing nature of its anomalous qualities, SCP-8818 has been granted exemption from physical containment and is permitted to live out its life with minimal surveillance and no direct knowledge of the Foundation's existence. As a precaution, healthcare records and other documents which detail or indicate SCP-8818's anomalous nature are to be copied to the Foundation archives and replaced with versions consistent with baseline normalcy.</p>
<p>In the event SCP-8818 remains animate beyond the normal human life expectancy or does not continue to age at an appropriate rate, physical containment may be instated.<br/>
<br/></p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8818 is a fully animate human male<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> that has never fully met the standard criteria necessary to be considered biologically alive. While this phenomenon extends to virtually every physical process, it is most easily observed as a near-total lack of major organ functions: SCP-8818 does not breathe, transmit nerve impulses, or metabolize food. Nevertheless, SCP-8818 does not appear impeded by its anomalous nature and has developed from infancy to adulthood as a superficially healthy and unremarkable individual.<br/>
<br/></p>
<p>Those who encounter SCP-8818 with no prior training against mind-affecting anomalies will be capable of perceiving its non-living qualities, but incapable of perceiving those qualities as abnormal or worthy of scrutiny, even when confronted by extreme cognitive dissonance. SCP-8818 does not exert this influence deliberately, and its effect has been documented even prior to birth, when on the occasion of an ultrasound, SCP-8818 was described by the sonographer as "a happy, healthy, dead baby boy." Due to the influence of its own projected normalcy, SCP-8818 remains unaware that its condition is anomalous.<br/>
<br/></p>
<p>No tangible mechanisms have been found to explain SCP-8818's animation and physical development through childhood in the absence of requisite biological processes. Extensive and redundant testing has consistently found SCP-8818's body to be materially dead at a cellular level, even during periods of rapid physical growth such as puberty. The preterbiological consensus<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> at present holds that SCP-8818's physical form is most likely externally imposed, rather than internally produced, conforming to and sustaining a shape that is predetermined in some way.<br/>
<br/></p>
<p>Evidence gathered via clandestine research initiatives supports this theory; for instance, because SCP-8818 does not absorb nutrition from the food that passes through its body, it is not affected by the quality and content of its diet, and therefore suffered no ill effects when its food sources were temporarily swapped with nonfood substances.<br/>

<h1 id="toc0"><span>Addendum - Incident Log</span></h1>
<p><br/></p>
<p>On 29/08/2019, SCP-8818 checked into a local emergency room complaining of "extreme and unusual sensations". The following is an excerpt of SCP-8818's subsequent conversation with the presiding physician,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> recorded via Argus Protocol. No deviations from standard behavior have been observed since.<br/>

<p><br/>
<strong>PHYSICIAN:</strong> Are you still experiencing these 'sensations'?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8818:</strong> No, but it happened so suddenly and it was so intense I felt like I should get it checked out, just in case.</p>
<p><strong>PHYSICIAN:</strong> You made the right call. Always best to err on the side of caution. Still, your pulse was zero over zero. EKG looked nice and flat. Whatever happened, everything seems back to normal.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8818:</strong> Oh. That's good, I guess.</p>
<p><strong>PHYSICIAN:</strong> You don't sound convinced.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8818:</strong> Well, it was just so weird, you know? I've never felt anything like that before. It was like the sun. Like I had the sun inside of me. In every inch of my body.</p>
<p><strong>PHYSICIAN:</strong> You mean a burning sensation?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8818:</strong> No, it wasn't pain. It was pure <em>intensity</em>. It was as if someone had strapped my body to an enormous speaker and started playing music at full blast. For just a moment, I swear, every atom holding me together was full of music. And then everything was quiet again. That probably doesn't make sense, does it? It's hard to find the right words. I think I'm already starting to forget what it felt like.</p>
<p><strong>PHYSICIAN:</strong> Have you been under a lot of stress lately? Work, family all right?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8818:</strong> Work's fine, family's the same, yeah. Everything's normal.</p>
<p><strong>PHYSICIAN:</strong> Anything unusual happen today? Did you do anything out of the ordinary, see anything out of the ordinary that might have triggered that reaction?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8818:</strong> Actually…</p>
<p><em>Pause.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8818:</strong> No, sorry. It was nothing.<br/>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> AEGIS.aic has been conscripted to monitor activity gathered on the stability of the anomalous within the United States. Activity that deviates from standard predictive models compiled by the Foundation is to be investigated to determine if it is an instance of SCP-8820-A.

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8820 is the bullet deployed in the attempted assassination of former United States President Theodore Roosevelt, whose path was halted via the synchronistic interference of several conflicting unknown, external forces. The nature of both how this event occurred and of the forces in question are poorly understood, but it is recognized that SCP-8820’s failure to reach its intended target as a result of this interference resulted in the development of both SCP-8820-A and SCP-8820-B. While its exterior appears to be mundane, sonar rendering has revealed the interior of SCP-8820 contains highly-complex machinery of unknown purpose. The material used to construct the anomaly remains unclear.</p>
<p>SCP-8820-A collectively refers to varying bouts of sudden and unprecedented anomalous activity which are dependent upon the perceived belief of phenomena being considered “fantastical” within consensus normalcy by the populous of the United States. Specifically, SCP-8820-A has resulted in an uncharacteristically high number of anomalous entities considered by a majority of the U. S. population to be fantastical or fictional in nature to manifest. This activity defies all Foundation-made predictive models, which are noted as being 98.3% accurate outside of SCP-8820-A events.</p>
<p>SCP-8820-B is an entity identical in appearance to former U. S. President Theodore Roosevelt, albeit dressed in 20th century-era hunting gear and always seen with a large, brown duffel bag. The bag’s space appears to be non-euclidean in nature, as SCP-8820-B has been shown to store a nearly-endless supply of both mundane and anomalous weaponry. The entity also displays significant prowess in carnomancy, which it utilizes to manipulate its own flesh regularly, being capable of acts such as mending its own wounds or growing extra limbs.</p>
<p>Upon an area receiving a sudden spike in anomalous activity consistent with SCP-8820-A, SCP-8820-B will manifest in the area nearby the entity(s) produced by the activity, resulting in a Huntsman Event. Typically, this will consist of SCP-8820-B utilizing weaponry from its bag to engage the entity(s) in combat, but has been seen attacking entities directly. Should it use one, its weapon of choice has been observed to invariably be easily capable of dispatching the entity(s). Upon SCP-8820-B’s victory in an encounter, it will proceed to immediately demanifest from the area where the conflict took place. Damage sustained by SCP-8820-B in combat has been observed to disappear between manifestations, likely due to utilizing its carnomanic abilities.</p>

<h4 id="toc1"><span><tt>HISTORY</tt></span></h4>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>The attempted assassination of Theodore Roosevelt took place on October 14th, 1912 during a speech the former President was giving on behalf of his current political affiliation, the Progressive Party. Prior to the speech, Roosevelt’s disappointment in the man who succeeded him in the presidency, William Howard Taft, convinced him to attempt to run for President again, despite having already followed the tradition of serving two terms from 1901-1909. This proved to be a point of contention for much of the American populous, giving the Progressive Party’s opposition significant ammo to utilize against them.</p>
<div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:290px;"><img alt="681px-President_Theodore_Roosevelt%2C_1904.jpg?20130222033517" class="image" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/President_Theodore_Roosevelt%2C_1904.jpg/681px-President_Theodore_Roosevelt%2C_1904.jpg?20130222033517"/>
<div class="scp-image-caption">

</div>
</div>
<p>The speech was intended to be part of Roosevelt’s active campaign for the presidency, as he had already secured the nomination of the Progressive Party to run as their representative. However, it was interrupted by one John Flammang Shrank, who later claimed that an apparition of William McKinely, the preceding President before Roosevelt, appeared to him in a dream and implored him to carry out the assassination of Roosevelt. Shrank agreed to follow McKinely’s orders and proceeded to arm himself with a .38-caliber Colt Police Positive Special revolver before arriving at the Gilpatrick Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Roosevelt was scheduled to give his speech.</p>
<p>Foundation investigation has led to the discovery that both Shrank and McKinely were high-ranking members of GoI-004 (“<a href="/church-of-the-broken-god-hub">The Church of the Broken God</a>”) and that the assassination attempt was likely motivated by Roosevelt’s membership to GoI-891 (“The Bull Moose Lodge”), a <a href="/sarkicism-hub">Neo-Sarkic</a> collective dedicated to big-game hunting.</p>
<p>After he had finished his dinner at the hotel, Roosevelt had exited the building and was proceeding to his car amid a crowd of onlookers who had heard that he was in attendance there. Shrank took the opportunity to shoot the president, bursting from the crowd and shooting him with a single bullet, later designated SCP-8820. However, the bullet was specifically shot towards an area of Roosevelt’s jacket where his metal glasses case and folded speech were in his pocket, shielding him from most of the impact and allowing him to suffer little to no adverse effects as a result of the incident, famously going on to give the speech later while he was still bleeding.</p>
<p>Foundation specialists with access to records outside of public view were able to determine that while those events described in publicly-accessible information occurred, it was nigh-impossible for Roosevelt to have received no damage from SCP-8820 striking his body, even with the aforementioned items in his pocket assisting him. Despite being notable in anomalous communities for his frequent encounters with paranormal phenomena, Roosevelt has been verified to never have been capable of any thaumaturgical rituals, nor to possess any inherent anomalous abilities, which would have protected him from SCP-8820. By all accounts, without any interference by external forces, Roosevelt had a guaranteed chance to expire. Said forces were determined to have protected Roosevelt via a sophisticated thaumic mapping procedure.</p>
<p>The exact nature of these forces remains under the investigation of the collective Overseer Council.</p>

<h4 id="toc3"><span><tt>DISCOVERY</tt></span></h4>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>The discovery that the attempted assassination of Theodore Roosevelt was related to a conflict between GoI-004 and GoI-891 in 1937 led to the Foundation receiving approval from the United States government to retrieve SCP-8820 from the corpse of Theodore Roosevelt, as it had remained lodged within his body since the unsuccessful assassination attempt involving it. At the time, it was designated AO-12953 and had not received full SCP status. Following the approval to retrieve the anomaly being granted, Foundation agents successfully dug up the coffin reported to hold former President Roosevelt, finding it empty, apart from SCP-8820 discarded in one of its corners.</p>

</div>
<p>A cooperative effort between the Foundation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s <a href="/unusual-incidents-unit-hub">Unusual Incidents Unit</a> followed, involving a manhunt spanning the entirety of the United States, for information related to the whereabouts of Roosevelt’s corpse. Little to no results led to the investigation being declared as a mundane grave-robbery in 1941 and shelved by both organizations. No anomalous activity could be found related to SCP-8820, leading to it being placed in an anomaly storage locker within Site-314.</p>
<p>On March 4th, 2023, a communication between two agents of the <a href="/goc-hub-page">Global Occult Coalition</a> was intercepted by the Foundation, which described the earliest recorded Huntsman Event.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup></p>

<p><strong>Unknown Agent:</strong> What’s the issue? Was the threat liquidated?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Morris:</strong> Well, uh, that’s kind of the issue. It was, but it, uh, wasn’t by us.</p>
<p><strong>Unknown Agent:</strong> Oh, was it the Foundation? They don’t normally liquidate threats… and this would normally be an area in the UIU’s jurisdiction, but they don’t exactly have the resources for liquidation usually.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Morris:</strong> No, uh, I don’t think it was the Foundation. We saw it happen in real time. So, we found the threat; some big dragon. Anyway, while we were preparing to take it out, this guy came out of nowhere in this weird getup… like hunter outfits you’d see in cartoons from the thirties. He had this big bag with him and he pulled out some sort of weird rifle. He shot it at the threat a few times and whatever he shot from it went clean through the big lizard’s throat.</p>

<p><strong>Agent Morris:</strong> Nah, he disappeared as quickly as we first saw him. Just stuck the rifle back in that big bag of his and left like it was just another Tuesday.</p>

<p>The Coalition was not alerted to the Foundation’s knowledge of the described events, with Overseer Council deliberation leading to the decision to calibrate anomaly detection equipment in Site-314 for the next Huntsman Event and attempt to contain the anomaly without their interference.

</div>
</div>
<p>On March 19th, 2024, sudden and unprecedented anomalous activity was detected in Austin, Texas, with an entity closely resembling a griffin being spotted in several forests around the region. Members of MTF Gamma-4 were mobilized to the location in hopes of establishing contact with SCP-8820-B and to contain the entity created by the SCP-8820-A event. Approximately two hours after the task force arrived, the entity was located, but was left under observation due to the possible danger of interrupting a Huntsman Event.</p>
<p>An hour after the griffin entity was located, SCP-8820-B manifested within the area and was spotted by the task force.</p>

<p>[EXTRANEOUS DATA REMOVED]</p>
<p><strong>Site Command:</strong> The detected activity is in the clearing beyond those trees. Try to observe the entity from a distance.</p>
<p><strong>G4-Cap:</strong> Got it.</p>
<p><strong>G4-3:</strong> Hey, I see something!</p>
<p><em>G4-3 points at a large, vaguely-avian creature in the distance. It hobbles about awkwardly, as if unfamiliar with its surroundings.</em></p>
<p><strong>G4-Cap:</strong> Good eye, Three.</p>
<p><strong>Site Command:</strong> First target located. Keep an eye out for 8820-B.</p>
<p><em>Suddenly, a long figure manifests in a flash of light within the clearing. It wears a hunting uniform and carries a large bag.</em></p>
<p><strong>G4-2:</strong> …found him.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8820-B puts its bag on the ground and rummages within it for a moment, before pulling out an object resembling a modified crossbow.</em></p>
<p><strong>Site Command:</strong> See if you can get some footage of the weapon it’s using.</p>
<p><strong>G4-Cap:</strong> On it.</p>
<p><em>G4-Cap retrieves enhanced recording equipment from her belongings and positions it towards SCP-8820-B and the griffin entity.</em></p>
<p><strong>G4-4:</strong> Looks like he’s up to something.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8820-B loads an unknown form of arrow-like ammunition into the crossbow before shooting it at the griffin entity, striking it in the chest.

<hr/>
<p>Little information concerning GoI-891 (“The Bull Moose Lodge”) was known to the Foundation prior to SCP-8820, but due to a perceived relationship between the group and the anomaly, investigation was exacerbated by Foundation parahistorians. The following is an excerpt from the Foundation’s Group of Interest database, placed within this file for convenience.</p>

<p><strong>Group #:</strong> GoI-891 (“The Bull Moose Lodge”)</p>
<p><strong>Membership:</strong> Unknown</p>
<p><strong>Resources:</strong> Unknown</p>
<p><strong>Status:</strong> Inactive</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> The Bull Moose Lodge was a Neo-Sarkic collective led by former U. S. President Theodore Roosevelt dedicated to the practice of big-game hunting. Public information concerning the group is known to make frequent mention of their ability to locate “rare finds”, with mundane historians interpreting this to mean rare or endangered species. Parahistorians, however, have verified many hunts performed by the Lodge to be centered on locating a variety of anomalous creatures. Documentation from the White House archives seized by the Foundation contains detailed notes from the group’s membership concerning a variety of species, such as unicorns, dragons, griffins, and more.</p>
<p>Little information about the group was recorded, leading to little else being ascertained about their membership or practices. Being Neo-Sarkic, it has been speculated the group was possibly responsible for several assassinations performed on members of the Church of the Broken God verified to have occurred within regions where they were active, but these claims remain unverified by more than circumstantial evidence. Notes left by Roosevelt contain a variety of runic symbols drawn in their margins, possibly hinting towards the group performing various rituals during their meetings.</p>
<p>It is suspected that the group began operations in 1897 and disbanded due to Roosevelt’s death in 1919.</p>

<hr/>
<p>During SCP-8820-A-45, an event in which a unicorn entity manifested in the outskirts of New York, agents from Gamma-4 were instructed to terminate the entity in order to see how SCP-8820-B would react. Agent Foster successfully dispatched the entity, leading to the following impromptu interview taking place.</p>
<div style="background: #eff4ff; padding: 10px; border: 2px solid #2F4F4F; width: 85%; margin: auto;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>«Begin Log»</strong></p>
<p>[EXTRANEOUS DATA REMOVED]</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> It’s not very polite to steal someone else’s catch, you know.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> Excuse me?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> I knew your hunting party seemed quite intent on disrupting my work, but I was hoping you had common etiquette and just wanted to see a master in action.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> Oh, uh, we just wanted to… talk?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Talk, hm? Quite a rude way to begin a conversation, is this not?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> Sorry about that. You see, we’ve known about you for quite a while, but we could never catch you before you, uh, disappeared.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Oh, I see! Part of me had assumed you simply wished to steal my hunt. You don’t see these just everywhere, you know.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8820-B gestures towards the unicorn entity's corpse on the ground before walking over and inspecting the damage.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Your weapons appear more advanced than I had thought. Perhaps you lot really are experienced hunters!</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> You could say that.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Ah, fantastic. It is a pleasure to be in the company of some fellow enjoyers of the sport. I used to have a group just like yours back in the day, but, ah, well, I suppose I’m getting ahead of myself. Perhaps some introductions are an order?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> Alright, I’m William Foster.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of these United States.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> How is that possible? It’s been said you’ve been dead for over a century.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Well, old chap, don’t believe everything that you see in the history books. As one of the people who helped with the job, I can tell you with certainty that we make sure not everything worth telling is in ‘em.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> You could say that we do something similar.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Really? Interesting how some things never change. Perhaps you’re more similar to my old friends than I had previously thought!</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> Your old friends? Are you referring to the Bull Moose Lodge?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Ah, you have certainly done your homework, young man! Yes, we were a rowdy bunch. Found a bunch of monsters that should never see the light of day and made damn sure the public never had to lay their beaty little eyes on ‘em. Tough work, but someone had to do it.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> We have data that says the Lodge was heavily affiliated with Neo-Sarkicism. Was this true?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Wow, the more you tell me you know, the more impressed I am! I can always appreciate someone who knows what they’re talking about. Yes, while I’ll admit I’m not the biggest fan of how you worded it, we were followers of the flesh. Never did any of that human sacrifice nonsense, but, well, a bunch of old magical animals made for good substitutes in that department!</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> You sacrificed the anomalous creatures you’d hunt down?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Damn straight! Don’t know what else we woulda done with ‘em. Have you ever tried unicorn, old chap? Tastes like dirt from the ground, let me tell ya.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> I see.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Was certainly better than sacrificing humans. The Great Prophet told me it was the weak men who felt like they were deserving of another human life to bolster their own strength. The strong men are already strong on their own.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> The Great Prophet?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Aye, the Grand Karcist is what some call him. He’s what saved me, ya know?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> Saved you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> You ever here about what happened down at the Gilpatrick Theatre? When that poor soul tried to blow my brains out?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> Yes, we have.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Well, what they don’t tell you in those history books is that I would have definitely been a goner if not for the Grand Karcist.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> We had some data that showed some sort of extra-dimensional anomaly was likely what prevented your demise. Was that the Grand Karcist?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> I’m not entirely sure what you mean there, but he was certainly from our dimension. Surprisingly human-looking for… whatever he was. Anyway, as soon as that bullet pierced my skin, I suddenly wasn’t standing outside of the hotel. I was… well, it’s not important. What’s important is that he was there, the Grand Karcist. He told me that it wasn’t my time yet, and that I was capable of so much more if I followed his teachings. After he spoke to me, I was suddenly back down to Earth. That bullet was lodged in my glasses case and stuck in my flesh. Blood was trickling down my jacket, but I knew I was fine to give that speech there and then because I had the prophet’s word it wasn’t my time.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> So, after you were saved by the Grand Karcist, you started the Lodge?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Well, before I started it, I realized I had to follow his teachings. I found old, forbidden writings. Some were manuscripts, some forbidden gospels, and even some forbidden drawls on the bottoms of Churches. You’d be surprised how widespread his teachings really are.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> So, you learned the rituals you used to sacrifice the creatures from these teachings, I assume?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> That, and so, so much more. The sacrifices were the key, though. If both the Great Prophet and the American people smile upon you, you can achieve so, so much.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> So, why are you still around? Did you find a ritual for immortality?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> If we had immortality, it wouldn’t just be me anymore, would it? A hunting party sticks together. I’m still around because, well, put simply, the people still believe in me! Belief is a powerful thing, old chap. You’d do well to remember that.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> They still… believe in you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Well, they don’t just carve your face on a mountain for no reason, do they?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> I suppose you’re not wrong, but I’m just curious what exactly you mean by this. People believing in your… existence makes you stay around?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> My existence? No, old chap! Every free man and woman in this country believes in my existence. No, what they believe in is my memory. They remember the man who once was, a shining beacon to the people of this land!</p>
<p><strong>Agent Foster:</strong> So, the American people remembering and believing in your memory is what has kept you around?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Well, that’s the primary cause. I suspect there’s a bit of intermingling with my, we’ll say, augmentations. Those rituals didn’t just do nothing for me! But, to my knowledge, as long as I am believed in, I will go on. It takes more than just death to kill a Bull Moose, my friend. Much more, indeed.</p>

<hr/>
<p>On June 27th, the <a href="/tactical-theology-hub">Department of Tactical Theology</a> received a transmission concerning SCP-8820 from an operative claiming to be contacting the Foundation on behalf of the Church of the Broken God. Contact was established by Dr. Alice Key via a private channel with the office of Prophet Robert Bumaro established in 1998.</p>
<div style="background: #eff4ff; padding: 10px; border: 2px solid #2F4F4F; width: 85%; margin: auto;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>«Begin Log»</strong></p>
<p><strong>Unknown:</strong> Hey, is this thing on? This should be the channel they established with us… Yes, it looks like it’s recording.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> Um, hello? This channel is reserved for Robert Bumaro of the Church of the Broken God. Are you a representative of his?</p>
<p><strong>Unknown:</strong> Oh, it is working! Greetings, Foundation. Yes, I am Brother Lucas Baker of the Church of the Broken God, establishing this contact with you on behalf of Prophet Robert Bumaro. While I wish this communication could come at a friendlier time, I have some information that you need.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> Information?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> No doubt, you have encountered the work of Karcist Theodore Roosevelt. We have been monitoring his actions since before even the Coalition caught wind of what was happening. To tell you the truth, we have tried our own methods to ensure his re-emergence would be halted, but there was little we could do. Put simply, you need a certain kind of weapon to eliminate him.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> What sort of weapon?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> The nails that pierced Christ on the cross. The sword in the stone. The bullet that Shrank fired at the Karcist all those years ago. Mundane historians simply regard these items as having been equally mundane, made with basic materials harvested from the Earth below our feet. They could not be more wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> Are you saying that the bullet fired at Roosevelt was some sort of enhanced weapon?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> Well, I’m sure that you are aware that components of God have made their way all across the world, waiting to be reunited, but you seem to remain ignorant to the blasphemous acts that have been performed with them all throughout the years. Well, besides the <a href="/twistedgears-kaktus-proposal">false god awakened in La Paz</a>, I suppose. Regardless, while attempting to modify our God’s components is seen as spitting in the face of the very doctrine that unites us, it has not stopped many from trying.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> You don’t mean…</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> Christ was impaled with repurposed screws from God’s feet. The sword was carved from the plating of God’s armor. The bullet was made from modifying God’s pineal gland. To kill a deified figure, you need a component of God. We do not ask this of you lightly, but I imagine we are to mutually benefit from the Karcist’s termination.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> I see.</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> The Grand Karcist has been weakened after so many years. He will be unable to protect Roosevelt should you find a vessel through which to let the bullet fly true. However, a mere mortal would be unable to contest with him in his current state. We’ve noticed a surprisingly little amount of ritualistic activity from him, suggesting he has been biding his time and power for something big.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> Who would we need to face him, then?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> Have you ever heard of the phrase “To kill a god, you require another god”?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> A… god? He’s a president.</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> When a figure is deified by his people, the line between god and leader is often blurred. A proper vessel to face Roosevelt would be a leader more deified than him by the American people. Fortunately, as far as we’re aware, you have one.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> We do?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> A long time ago, a Mekhanite priest was hired by some agents of a revolution down in the New World. They needed someone to guide them, so he was given a man to enhance into so much more than he was before. What was once flesh was now a stalwart, iron war machine. The “redcoats” stood no chance against him!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> I believe I know what you’re referring to, now. Are you sure this will work?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> It’s happened before. Why do you think you have yet to find Karcist Jefferson and Brother Lincoln? Their battle has already occurred, and the fact our world remained unchanged is proof of Lincoln’s victory. Trust the process, my friend. This will work. It has to.</p>

<p><strong>Preamble:</strong> Gods take many shapes and sizes. From giant clockwork abominations to simple reality-benders that fancy themselves divine and gain a congregation, there is little that physically defines what a god can be. However, there is a single factor that separates the divine from the mundane, being belief. Belief in something can elevate it to new heights that it never previously could have hoped to achieve. Even a pebble could become a god if you injected it with enough belief.</p>
<p>A leader is someone who many look up to. They are often idolized by groups of people for working hard to assure the collective’s stability, seen as shining paragons of what they could only hope to achieve in their lifetimes. Legacies are formed, monuments are made, and in some cases, worshipping is performed. A leader can be cemented in history to an almost mythical degree, a process of pseudo-deification.</p>
<p>While issues are not normally caused by this limited belief in leaders, SCP-8820-B represents a unique convergence of Sarkicism-based augmentations interacting with the modern mysticism surrounding the legacy left behind by former President Roosevelt. Fortunately, Roosevelt is not the most deified president in United States history. In fact, we have the figure they worship the most contained within the bowels of Area 11.</p>
<p>In order to kill a deified figure, we need a weapon capable of doing so, and SCP-8820 is that weapon. However, we also need someone to fire it. For this purpose, the Department of Tactical Theology is requesting use of SCP-2776, former United States President George Washington, to eliminate SCP-8820-B through utilization of SCP-8820. To facilitate this encounter taking place, SCP-3782 will be used as a religious totem to compel SCP-2776 into combat with SCP-8820-B.</p>
</div>
<p>The operation was partially approved, with the stipulation that SCP-2776 be interviewed before any further action was taken, soon leading to contact being established with SCP-2776 by Dr. Alan Lock in an attempt to ensure its cooperation.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> Who… might you be?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lock:</strong> I’m Dr. Alan Lock. You’re President Washington, correct?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> I… I hardly remember. Where’s Martha?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lock:</strong> Martha Washington? She’s… gone. She’s been dead for many years.</p>

<p>It remains unclear if the newfound clarity within SCP-2776 displayed after it wore SCP-3782 was due to the anomaly in question or if it was coincidental.</p>
<p>While attempts were made to brief SCP-2776 on the activity of SCP-8820-B, it dismissed them and claimed to be already aware of the described events. When questioned, it was unable to ascertain the source of the information. Researchers have posited that this awareness is possibly connected to the clarity displayed by the anomaly, but this hypothesis remains unconfirmed.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> How did you receive this information?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> You don’t need to fret about informants in your ranks, if that’s what your worried about. The truth is that Washington has a sort of… trigger within his internal components. When it goes off, some of us with neural implants are pinged about it. All of our presidential champions have one.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> Presidential champions?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> Don’t you remember from our last conversation when I mentioned the conflict between Karcist Jefferson and Brother Lincoln?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> Yes, but we weren’t entirely sure what you meant.</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> Throughout the history of the Church of the Broken God and those Sarkic Cults, the power held by the individual who is seated upon the throne of the United States was considered paramount to our influence within the region. Even if they’re no longer in the seat, these individuals gain power beyond what we could have previously thought, leading to inevitable conflict. We’ve normally managed to keep these struggles secret, as has been tradition since the inception of our modern collectives, but the actions of Karcist Roosevelt have led to an unfortunate amount of publicity.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> How many presidents have been involved in these conflicts, exactly?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> Nearly all of them. Only a few remained independent, but they don’t tend to last long. I think a group of Sarkics got Henry Harrison only a month after he was elected, leading to his more agreeable lackey taking power.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> You mentioned some sort of being given to those in the presidential seat? Can you elaborate on that?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> It’s like I said during our last call, doctor. The powers that be speak in the language of belief, exchanging it like a forbidden currency. To become a United States President is to gain the belief of the people, and to gain the belief of the people is to gain the power of a god, whether they’re aware of it or not. I speculate that whatever strings that ensure this process are the same ones that yank those special few into warring pairs every eight years or so. The cogs turn and spin, and they’ll keep turning as long as the American people continue to believe.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> I see. Has there been any instance of one of these battles being prevented?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> Prevented? Doctor, you seem to misunderstand. This call was not to brainstorm with you. It’s meant to be a status update. Washington and Roosevelt are two unbreakable pistons about to slam into each other. You haven’t been able to contain the Bull Moose yet, and I’m sure you’ve witnessed his strength in combat. He only grows stronger, because he knows what’s meant to happen. I imagine the same for Washington, yes?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> He <em>has</em> shown to have an unexplainable wealth of knowledge related to Roosevelt…</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> The internal file database that functions as his brain was primed with this information decades before you even discovered him. Like I said, this was always destined to happen. The best option is to give Washington the bullet.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Key:</strong> The bullet?</p>
<p><strong>Br. Lucas:</strong> As I’ve explained, it was a part of God modified long ago to be a weapon. It is the only thing in your possession at the moment capable of taking out Roosevelt, short of reactivating that <a href="/scp-882">false heart</a> and letting something else achieve apotheosis to fight him. This is the best option for everyone involved. For the good of the world, make things easier on all of us… please.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> Good morning, doctor. It appears you are in fair spirits.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lock:</strong> Ah, yeah. Thanks for noticing. I’m just here for a bit more questioning, if that’s okay?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> That is acceptable.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lock:</strong> Great. So, you—</p>

<p>The Washington Monument.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Following SCP-2776's announcement during the interview, an anomalous signature that far outweighed any previous SCP-8820-A event was suddenly detected by Foundation equipment in the Washington Monument within Washington D. C. Observation revealed that there was no anomalous entity visible at the location by satellites positioned towards the region. Instead, SCP-8820-B could be seen sitting in front of the memorial and standing entirely motionless.</p>
<p>Overseer Council deliberation deemed it the best course of action to transport SCP-2776 and evacuate the surrounding area in preparation for a possible conflict between the two anomalies. As was stated in the preamble for Operation: Bald Eagle, SCP-8820 was given to SCP-2776 before it engaged SCP-8820-B in combat. Connection with the United States government’s <a href="/scp-5004">Metaphysical Club</a> was established, who agreed to assist in facilitating the evacuation efforts.</p>
<p>Once the area surrounding the Washington Monument was cleared of civilians, SCP-2776 was airlifted to the location and dropped off by Foundation operatives. The following log was promptly recorded.</p>
<div style="background: #eff4ff; padding: 10px; border: 2px solid #2F4F4F; width: 85%; margin: auto;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>«Begin Log»</strong></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> I was hoping you would show up soon.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> Spare me your foul words, demon. Do not attempt to mock me.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Now, now. There’s no need to get all riled up so soon. From one former president to another, I want to offer you a deal.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> A… deal?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8820-B turns around and gestures to the Washington Monument.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Look at this, George. They built this for you. All of your achievements for this country and all they’ve given you is your face on a mountain and a pole sticking up from the ground. Sure, they remember us, but they do not worship us like they should. To become President of the United States is to become God, don’t you see?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> I do not understand.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> This monument, this insult, it has the power to ensure we are remembered as we should be. Since my reawakening, I have been gathering energy from as many magical creatures as I could. Their sacrifices have not been in vain, my friend. No, far from it. You see, this monument has a special property about it; did you know that? It is capable of channeling the power I have received from these sacrifices into something tangible. The power can spread across the entirety of these glorious United States and ensure our godhood for all of eternity.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> Why did you call me here if you are capable of this?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> If I were to do this, the divinity afforded to those who have held the position of United States President will be granted based upon recognition among the people. You, my friend, are the most recognized president who still remains upon this planet. If I were to grant us this power, well, you would be my greatest threat. That is, unless you choose to join my cause.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> You wish for me to join you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Join me and you will receive power beyond your wildest dreams. Refuse my offer and I will have no other choice but to strike you down.</p>
<p><em>SCP-2776 pauses, mulling over SCP-8820-B’s words.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> I refuse.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> I see. That is… most unfortunate.</p>
<p><em>The two remain still, staring at each other intently until SCP-8820-B throws its bag on the ground, pulling out a long-barreled rifle and a large, iron sword. SCP-2776’s left hand reconfigures itself to form a gun barrel-like extension. Its right palm splits in half, a long blade extending from the gap.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> A righteous man once claimed that the American people must think about what they should do for their country, not their president. That man was me, of course, but I’m not exactly president anymore.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8820-B suddenly rushes towards SCP-2776, dropping its rifle on the ground and wielding its word with both hands. It slashes its blade at SCP-2776, who counters with the blade on its right hand.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> You’ll have to try harder than that, demon.</p>
<p><em>SCP-2776 points the gun barrel on its left hand at SCP-8820-B’s head, firing multiple red beams of energy at it. The strikes temporarily stun SCP-8820-B, who staggers backwards several steps. SCP-2776 takes the opportunity to slash its blade at SCP-8820-B’s forehead, forming a large gnash and knocking it downwards. SCP-2776 holds its blade threateningly at SCP-8820-B as it struggles to reposition itself.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> Do you yield?</p>
<p><em>SCP-8820-B struggles for a few moments before its mouth suddenly contorts into a wide grin. It begins chuckling slightly.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Was this really all you had? This will be an easier battle than I thought.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8820-B’s fist suddenly balloons to three times its previous size, which it uses to deliver a powerful uppercut to SCP-2776, who is sent barreling backwards onto the ground. SCP-8820-B grabs the rifle it discarded on the ground and fires several blue energy beams at SCP-2776. Several of the beams strike it, but the final is blocked by SCP-2776 slashing its blade like a baseball bat, propelling the beam back at its attacker. SCP-8820-B quickly shifts to the side, narrowly avoiding the blast.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> You’ll have to try harder than that! I faced redcoats who were more threatening than you in the very war that allowed you to be elevated to where you stand today.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> We’ll see about that.</p>
<p><em>SCP-2776 gets off the ground and quickly fires several more blasts at SCP-8820-B, who counters by firing its own. Every shot from either anomaly meets the other, resulting in small explosions in the middle of the battleground as they collide. SCP-8820-B sneers, charging towards SCP-2776 with its blade outstretched.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Block this, you wrinkly bastard!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> Gladly.</p>
<p><em>SCP-2776 slams its blade upon SCP-8820-B’s, locking the two in place. Neither waver for several moments, their respective swords visibly shaking. SCP-8820-B drops its rifle on the ground so it can better wield its weapon.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> You know, my offer is still on the table. All you have to do is yield, and we shall achieve a complete apotheosis!</p>
<p><em>SCP-8820-B gains slight leverage in the struggle, pushing SCP-2776 back slightly.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> I served my four years. Sometimes, you just have to recognize when it’s your time to let go. You couldn’t recognize that, and in your campaign to do so, you pushed so many against you. General or president, I am no god. And no matter what you want to tell yourself, neither are you.</p>
<p><em>Leverage is regained by SCP-2776, allowing it to push SCP-8820-B back until they regain their original positions.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Fine then. If you won’t use those wooden teeth to spit out an agreement, I’ll tear them off of your metal corpse!</p>
<p><em>A third arm suddenly bursts from SCP-8820-B’s back, forming a large hole in its outfit. The arm grabs the rifle it left on the ground, firing it at SCP-2776 and landing a direct on its head and knocking it to the ground. A black, viscous fluid seeps from the bullet hole.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> You made a big mistake challenging a Bull Moose to a tussle, George.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8820-B plunges its sword several times into SCP-2776’s torso, causing more fluid to erupt from its mouth.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Well, I must admit. You caught me in a good mood today. A battle like this really gets the blood pumping, let me tell ya. So, I’m going to offer you a chance I don’t offer many. Any last words?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> Only a few.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> Those being?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> There’s no glasses case to protect you this time.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8820-B:</strong> What?</p>
<p><em>SCP-2776’s left arm suddenly reconfigures itself into a normal hand once again. It is formed into the shape of a finger gun, with the top of the pointer finger suddenly opening on a hinge. Within the finger is SCP-8820, aimed directly at SCP-8820-B’s torso.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> Here’s how you kill a Bull Moose.</p>
<p><em>Before SCP-8820-B can react, SCP-8820 is fired at a high speed directly through its heart, piercing it instantly. A pained cry erupts from its mouth as it falls to the ground. Blood seeps onto the surrounding grass as it gasps for air. SCP-2776 attempts to move, finding it cannot. It looks around at its own form, finding much more of the black liquid to have spread around its body.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-2776:</strong> I suppose it is time for us to both get our rests, after all. The American people need new heroes. The Law is ever-changing, after all.</p>
<p><em>SCP-2776’s eyes lose a glow behind them, and its limbs collapse to the ground. SCP-8820-B’s body remains unmoving.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>«End Log»</strong></p>
</div>
<p>Following the events of the log, SCP-2776 and SCP-8820-B were reclassified as Neutralized.</p>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h2 id="toc24"><span><span style="color: #4169e1"><strong>ADDENDUM 8820.12</strong></span></span></h2>
<h4 id="toc25"><span><tt>LATEST UPDATES</tt></span></h4>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>After SCP-8820-B’s neutralization at the hands of SCP-2776, no SCP-8820-A events were subsequently recorded by the Foundation or any Groups of Interest. SCP-8820 was recollected from the courtyard in front of the Washington Monument, as were the corpses of both SCP-2776 and SCP-8820-B. SCP-2776’s body has been placed into storage for future dissection while SCP-8820-B’s has been incinerated following unanimous Overseer Council vote.</p>
<p>Due to the neutralization of both SCP-8820-A and SCP-8820-B as well as the revelations made concerning SCP-8820 itself, a new database entry has been drafted by its containment supervisors. The following is the latest draft submitted for Overseer approval.</p>
<div class="bluemodal">
<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8820</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Thaumiel</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8820 is held in a small box within Specialized Storage Vault 01-Alpha, accessible only to personnel possessing Level 5/8820 clearance or higher. The anomaly’s internal structure is undergoing review by personnel within Site-314.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8820 is a metallic construct resembling a mundane bullet. Observation utilizing sonar rendering has determined that the interior of SCP-8820 contains highly-complex machinery of unknown purpose. The material used in its construction remains unclear, but study has found it is an alloy of several mixed metals of unknown origin.</p>
<p>SCP-8820 served as the bullet deployed in the attempted assassination of former United States President Theodore Roosevelt, but its path was halted due to the interference of an anomalous force recognized as Grand Karcist Ion, the premier figure within the collective Sarkic Cults. Church of the Broken God doctrine recognizes SCP-8820 as a legitimate artifact from the Broken God, claiming it to have acted as its brain’s pineal gland before an unknown modification resulted in its current form.</p>
<p>The anomaly appears to be capable of eliminating deific entities. Further study remains ongoing.</p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>On July 4th, 2024, a note was found to have suddenly manifested within the box where SCP-8820 was stored. A scan of it has been placed below.</p>
<div style="background: #eff4ff; padding: 10px; border: 2px solid #2F4F4F; width: 85%; margin: auto;">
<p>Dear Foundation,</p>
<p>Thanks for setting up that sparring match with George, it was the most fun I’ve had in a long, long time. If you see him again, tell him that there’s no hard feelings. I think I just happened to get a bit too into the moment and I lost my cool. Though, perhaps I'm only feeling remorseful because I’ve managed to find new purpose. You see, I was found by this lot with <a href="/three-moons-initiative-hub">three moons</a> as their logo, and it turns out that they just so happened to be having an election for their president! Apparently, it’s been their first election in thousands of years.</p>
<p>Well, with my old charm, I managed to get myself elected up here. And let me assure you Foundation, there are going to be a lot of changes, both in this place and back there on Earth. I realized that I shot too low by only battling George. A real hunter goes for the hardest catch to ensure his adrenaline is pumping, and I know just who to go for now. Plus, with all of the enhancements they’ve got here, we’re sure to have a grand old time once we’re ready to fight.</p>
<p>Send Yahweh my regards,</p>
<p><em>Theodore Roosevelt, <a href="/scp-2922">Corbenic's</a> Eternal President</em></p>
</div>
<p>Coinciding with the appearance of the note, an unprecedently high amount of the American population were noted to have suddenly converted to Atheism, with the number steadily increasing every day since its appearance. Department of Tactical Theology personnel have been conscripted to ensure a remanifestation of SCP-8820-B does not target the entity recognized as the Christian God.</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SDP-8822 is a set of <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_50">621</span><span class="a_48">55</span><span class="a_10">11</span></span> hand-carved stone heads, which as a result of a virally aggressive marketing campaign are referred to in <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_48">British</span><span class="a_10">Northern English</span></span> popular culture as simply <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_48">'the heads'.</span><span class="a_10">the Bradford Heads.</span></span> Each item in SDP-8822 is exquisitely beautiful. All craftsmanship is of the highest quality. Each item is tastefully weathered to some degree and material choices complement the vibrant emotions elicited by each.</p>
<p><strong>Reception</strong></p>
<p>SDP-8822 has been a monumentally successful collection for the Foundation.</p>
<p>The initial exhibit in Bradford's Cartwright Hall began slowly. The first visitors demonstrated the effectiveness of word-of-mouth marketing, based solely on the intrinsic merits of the sculptures and their overwhelming beauty, bringing in more people every day; an effect that compounded upon itself, increasing the exhibits's exposure to the public exponentially. The exhibit was met with critical success and widespread appeal. However, Bradford is a city with a relatively low population and little tourism, and the market was quickly saturated before we were able to expand.</p>
<p>Fortunately, the unprecedented popularity of SDP-8822 in Bradford made the local news, and the Foundation was able to secure a lucrative contract enabling the display of SDP-8822 at other locations. See document EXPANSION STRATEGY for more information (Level 4 Clearance required).</p>
<p>As a result, SDP-8822 can be nearly solely credited with expanding the reach of the Foundation from Bradford to encompass most of North England. Each exhibit sees up to 20,000 impressions per day on average, with upcoming marketing campaigns looking to increase that number further.</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8822 is a set of <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_35">seven</span><span class="a_10">four</span></span> hand-carved stone heads, <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_35">referred to as the Bradford Heads in</span></span> <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_36 empty">_</span><span class="a_35">northern UK</span></span> <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_37">popular</span><span class="a_35">British</span></span> <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_35">culture,</span></span> designated SCP-8822-1 through <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_35">SCP-8822-7</span><span class="a_10">SCP-8822-4</span></span>. <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_28">All four are made of limestone, but other</span><span class="a_10">Specific</span></span> details vary per head: <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_28 empty">_</span><span class="a_11">some are made of limestone, and some of marble;</span><span class="a_10">some are made of marble, and some of limestone;</span></span> some are detailed enough to plausibly be portraits of real people, and some are not; all are highly weathered, but some more so than others.</p>
<p><span class="ch_B"><span class="a_35">All members of SCP-8822 are exceptionally beautiful compared to visually similar carvings, likely anomalously so; this has led to their notoriety as essential artwork in the Greater Manchester region of the UK and in online circles. The most dedicated fans of SCP-8822 spend their lives in service of them.</span><span class="a_28">SCP-8822 members are generally perceived as more beautiful and significant than would be expected of a given observer's affinity to stone carvings. Observers report feelings of calmness, relaxation and belonging. This has led them to become a household name in Bradford, UK, the city in which they were recovered.</span><span class="a_23">The stone heads display the ability to influence their own perception, even retroactively, and evidence suggests the range of this effect extends as far as the 1970s.</span><span class="a_12">At least one of the members of SCP-8822, possibly all, exhibit an anomalous effect that influences perception. Observers continually report that the stone heads do not match previous descriptions, but will not confirm if it is the heads or the recorded data that differs. This is the case even for descriptions recorded during this influence.</span><span class="a_10">One or more of the four stone heads changes descriptions of itself to be inaccurate. It is not clear at this time which specifically; regardless, nonspecific descriptions of the full set of heads appear to be safe from the effect. Therefore, all SCP-8822 members are to be treated identically and interaction is to be minimised.</span></span> <iframe class="scout" loading="lazy" src="https://croquembouche.net/scp/scp-8822/scout-v1.html?contradiction=A4^,11^"></iframe></p>

Marques was able to corroborate many of them, but could not prove any; additionally, he described feeling at one point as if he were recovering from a compulsion effect, which would be consistent with having been compelled to forget something.

<p>It's clear as day that these heads resonate with people. Even though I can't count myself amidst that cohort, I believe that this is what all artwork should strive to be. Truly commendable.</p>

<p>I always find sculptures like these difficult to form a consistent opinion about, and the Heads are no exception. They thoroughly blend the line between artwork and artefact, and perhaps this is part of their long-standing appeal — is it simply that people are unsure how to think about them? One might spend so long trying to categorise something that, after a time, it simply becomes impossible.</p>

I recall feeling similarly foolish leaving the Louvre after wrestling through the crowd to see the Mona Lisa, but for some reason I can't <em>quite</em> put my finger on, this time feels a little different.</p>

<p>The hype around these heads is certainly intoxicating, isn't it? I tried my best but the energy just didn't quite get to me. I'll have to visit again and try harder!</p>

<p>I was stood in the crowd, early in the morning, waiting to see the heads. I looked up and saw a poster for them on the wall, and suddenly realised that I was surrounded by people with whom I share nothing. A full-bodied feeling of depression came over me, a weight that I could never hope to lift. I felt so strongly that I have wasted my life. Seeing everyone here, waiting to see these heads, craning their necks over the crowd to glimpse an early view… that's what life is about, isn't it? I haven't done anything with mine. I never did anything special or made something that people wanted to see. All I see in the mirror these days is an old man, but as long as I've got time left, I'm going to make the most of it. Thank you, heads; I never reached the front of your queue but you taught me a valuable lesson nonetheless: I will never stand in line again.</p>

<p>Even on an average day, it would be a long trip from Site-91 to Bradford by road; today, the Leeds rush hour was twice as nasty as usual. Ordinarily we'd've been dispatched a little later with a hotel room booked ahead of time; this was not the case today, and an explanation had not been forthcoming. As a result, the three of us were practically exhausted before we even arrived, so Dr. West had hopped out a couple of blocks away to pick us up some coffee. Ms. Hawthorne and I arrived at The Bradford Masonry at 08:15.</p>
<p>We entered the Masonry and were greeted by one of the volunteers who take care of the heads. Understandably hesitant to give his full name, he introduced himself only as 'Old Bob'. As agreed with the volunteer group beforehand, Old Bob left the premises to allow us free reign over the property.</p>
<p>We took the opportunity to take inventory of the shopfront:</p>
<ul>
<li>Seven stone heads, arranged by Old Bob in a row on the shop counter
<ul>
<li>SCP-8822-1: Male portrait, limestone, heavily weathered</li>
<li>SCP-8822-2: Female portrait, limestone, heavily weathered</li>
<li>SCP-8822-3: Male portrait, marble, heavily weathered</li>
<li>SCP-8822-4: Male carving, limestone, very heavily weathered</li>
<li>SCP-8822-5: Male portrait, marble, lightly weathered</li>
<li>SCP-8822-6: Male portrait, marble, lightly weathered</li>
<li>SCP-8822-7: Female portrait, marble, lightly weathered</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Approximately one hundred much smaller carvings of varying quality, all bearing some resemblance to at least one of the seven heads; most are made of wood, but some of marble or limestone</li>
</ul>
<p>Having been apprised of the fact that the group of volunteers associated with the caretaking of the heads self-identifies as a religious cult, we began with a sweep of the Akiva field to assess the legitimacy of their faith.</p>

<p>I was unimpressed with these results, but Sally found them fascinating. She told me that Old Bob's presence alone should have caused a spike in the field if these heads meant anything at all to him. We made a note to interview him should the opportunity avail itself.</p>
<hr/>
<p>While we were finishing off the Akiva scan, Melanie arrived with the coffee for the three of us. I let her in, locked the door behind her, and flipped the sign on the inside of the glass to clearly indicate the shop was closed. She froze when she saw the heads on the table, I assume having psychically linked with them against her will. I broke her gaze by hurrying her along to the rear of the building.</p>
<p>The back room of the Masonry was set up as if for a support group — a ring of chairs in the middle of the room and cheap fold-up tables along the walls, holding things like paper plates and water kettles. I assumed this was where the stone head fanatics would gather for meetings and the like, but for us, it was the perfect place for a coffee break.</p>
<div class="t2-optional">
<p>We took the time to discuss how "ecstatic" we were to be investigating the famous Bradford Heads. Melanie and Sally seemed genuinely enthused at the prospect, but I'm afraid I must admit that I didn't find myself excited in the slightest. I've never been into the arts and quite honestly had never heard of these heads before today, but for their sakes I smiled and nodded and played along.</p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>It was about 09:30 that we roused ourselves to get some work done. Melanie had Sally head upstairs to rummage around and see if she could find some records about the business other than those on the public listing, while she had me join her in the front room to assess the heads.</p>
<p>When I entered, she'd already picked up one of the heads — <span class="ch_A"><span class="a_7 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-claire-angle">SCP-8822-7</span><span class="a_6 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-claire-straight">SCP-8822-7</span><span class="a_1 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-claire-angle">SCP-8822-7</span></span> — and was holding it up to her face, gazing into its eyes. I let her muse for a moment, thinking that at any second she'd turn to me and say something quietly profound; when that was not forthcoming, I asked her if she was alright.</p>
<p>"Hey, Vikram. I'm fine."</p>
<p>She put the head back down on the counter, seeming a little embarrassed.</p>
<p>"I'm just getting the psychism test underway," she explained, a little too quickly.</p>
<p>"Melanie, please. That's not safe. I saw what happened when you first came in. Let's get some baselines measured, for safety's sake, at least. Humes first."</p>
<p>"Right. Yes, of course. Humes first."</p>

<p>At 10:15 I was heading back the front room to report to Dr. West to report that it was probably safe to begin her psychism test — but I found her, yet again, holding up one of the heads to her face, staring straight into its emotionless eyes.</p>
<p>"What <em>are</em> you doing? Do you think you can get a stronger psychic link with eye contact?"</p>
<p>She put <span class="ch_A"><span class="a_7 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-brian-angle">SCP-8822-1</span><span class="a_6 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-brian-straight">SCP-8822-1</span><span class="a_1 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-brian-angle">SCP-8822-1</span></span> down and turned away from me, as if to hide her expression, but for a moment — and despite her being nearly thirty years my senior — I caught a glimpse of a little girl, idolising a mentor.</p>
<p>"No, it's… it's not that."</p>
<p>"Melanie, your link is betraying you. Spill."</p>
<p>"My god, you're insufferable! Fine. Did you ever meet Site-91's senior investigator, before I took over the role?"</p>
<p>"Possibly," I replied, "but that data's not on me — I'd need to sync with DEEPWELL to be sure."</p>
<p>"Ah, nevermind. Well, before him, it was a woman named <a href="/hecatoncheires-cycle-hub">Rebekah Douglas</a>. She was something of a legendary figure in the late 80s — right up there in Varga's little club. Terrifying reputation, but I met her once, shook her hand, and she seemed totally unremarkable to me. Just someone doing her job, doing it well."</p>
<p>She stopped speaking, waiting for me to ask some question to prompt her next thought. It was a stupid social cue, and I almost didn't acknowledge it.</p>
<p>"Great. So why are you telling me this?"</p>
<p>She smiled, obviously having heard that entire thought process. "Months later I'd find out that she wasn't just a good agent — she was a Level-3 Psychometrist! With just a <em>touch</em> she could learn how an object thought, what it felt, its history, what it'd seen. And <em>I</em> was one of those objects. <em>I'm</em> just a Level-1 Telepath; I can't imagine."</p>

<p>She picked up a head — SCP-8822-3 — and cradled it between her hands. "At least, that's what I've been told. I never saw her again, after that. I always wondered what she saw in me."</p>
<p>Sensing my thought, she turned to face me. "No, I can't just ask her. She disappeared a few years later."</p>
<p>"Disappeared?"</p>
<p>"I only heard bits here and there. Something Sarkic, something Daevite — Varga covered it up, buried it. I never dared ask. I forgot about Rebekah for thirty years… and then, in 2022… well, you know what happened in 2022."</p>
<p>"Yeah. The largest single consensus shift in the history of the Foundation. SCP-140 was destroyed, the Daevite Empire as we knew it was a lie, and in its place was the <a href="/scp-6140">Republic of Daevastan</a>."</p>
<p>"Exactly. I was safe, anchored with the rest of Site-91's senior staff. We came out on the other side unscathed — and there she was, Rebekah Douglas, thirty years older, like nothing had happened. And from her perspective, that was true. Without any anomalous Daevite influence, she lived out a relatively normal life for a Foundation employee; she had a good long career, until we showed up. I don't know what happened to her after that. I think I would have transferred somewhere else."</p>
<p>"So what's the point of all this? Are you trying to invoke latent psychometry powers?"</p>
<p>She laughed. "Maybe I am. Can you imagine what psychometry could tell us about these heads? But mostly I'm just musing. Something reminded me of her, you know. One of the heads…" — she reached forward over the counter to pick one up — "…<em>this</em> one. '-4. Doesn't it look a little bit Daevite to you?"</p>
<p>It didn't — the memories I had with me at the time only had the Republic of Daevastan, not the Daevite Empire, and certainly not its art style.</p>
<p>"There's a <em>little</em> Daevastani in it, I think. But if you think it's Daevite, why don't we run a thaumaturgy test? There should be residual—"</p>
<p>She couldn't hold back a second round of laughter, a full head-back cackle. "Oh <em>man,</em> I wish I could. But thaumaturgy is so rare these days — we just don't have that kind of equipment lying around in this consensus. A few of the older units were brought along, but you'd have to be obsessed to keep one. Not me."</p>
<p>I frowned. "I think you might be a little mixed up about thaumaturgy's rarity — the Coalition is very much present in this consensus. Sarkics, too."</p>
<p>"Is that so? I might have been misinformed."</p>
<p>Melanie put down the head in her hands and picked up <span class="ch_A"><span class="a_7 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-brian-angle">SCP-8822-1</span><span class="a_6 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-brian-straight">SCP-8822-1</span><span class="a_1 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-brian-angle">SCP-8822-1</span></span>.</p>
<p>"Mel, I appreciate this is a personal question, but… did you ever try to find yourself?"</p>
<p>Melanie blinked. Even with her constant unintentional psychic probing, she hadn't caught wind of this question bubbling up. "What?"</p>
<p>"You know… your original self, from this consensus. The Melanie West who was originally here, before the shift."</p>
<p>She was quiet a moment longer, and I could feel her thought process ticking away, trying to understand what I'd asked. It seemed like a perfectly reasonable question to me.</p>
<p>"It… doesn't work like that. It's a consensus shift, not a parallel universe… come on, no more distractions. Time to start doing my job. How are the Hume levels?"</p>
<p>"But you said Rebekah… whatever. Humes? Negative gradient from the heads — you'll be fine and you might even find it easier to connect than normal."</p>
<p>"Excellent news. Today, I'll take what I can get."</p>

<p>Melanie fell apart when she tried a fourth psychic connection — she stumbled backwards, hand raised to her head as if stressed to the point of injury, and I almost needed to catch her. I gently reminded her that needed to be aware of her limits, and all she could do was meekly nod — certainly not her usual response to criticism. She took my advice to go sit in the van for a while and cool off before attempting to finish the test.</p>
<hr/>
<p>Sally came downstairs at 10:45. She asked about Melanie and I updated her on the situation.</p>
<p>She was about to head outside to go check on her, but we were interrupted by a knock on the glass door. Sally was visibly already walking towards it, so we couldn't justify <em>not</em> opening the door for the guy. We figured we'd hear him out.</p>
<p>Once we'd shared our cover story with him, he was happy to tell us that his name was Mike Burgerman, and he self-identified as a member of the cult associated with the Bradford Heads. I was ready to send him away, but Sally — still stuck thinking about the Akiva test result, I think — convinced me otherwise. We let Burgerman in, but on the condition that he would be answering questions for us.</p>

<p><strong>SINGH:</strong> Can you tell us a little bit about why you're here? Just a few words.</p>
<p><strong>BURGERMAN:</strong> Right, yeah… I'm a follower of the Bradford Heads. I come here every now and then on, uh, on pilgrimage, I guess. Getting to see the heads in person, touch them, that's important. To us followers, I mean.</p>
<p><strong>SINGH:</strong> Thanks. Forgive me, but… what exactly about the heads is there to follow?</p>
<p><strong>BURGERMAN:</strong> I'm not sure I understand.</p>
<p><strong>HAWTHORNE:</strong> I think my colleague is asking, in the broadest terms, what do you <em>get</em> out of 'following' the heads? I'm sure a vague answer would be fine, like… spiritual satisfaction. We just want to understand.</p>
<p><strong>BURGERMAN:</strong> Ah… I see. I appreciate this probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but to be honest, I mostly do it for my daughter. She's really into the Bradford Heads and it makes her happy for me to visit them, volunteer for them and what not. Her mother's not been in the picture for a few years and this has been a good constant for us.</p>
<p><strong>SINGH:</strong> How old is your daughter?</p>
<p><strong>BURGERMAN:</strong> Seven.</p>
<p><strong>HAWTHORNE:</strong> What sorts of things do you do when you volunteer for the heads?</p>
<p><strong>BURGERMAN:</strong> I… you know, normal church stuff. We take shifts watching the Masonry, we spread the word, we put up pictures of them. Things like that.</p>
<p><strong>SINGH:</strong> That's not<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span>—</p>

<p><strong>SINGH:</strong> How do you organise events?</p>
<p><strong>BURGERMAN:</strong> A bunch of us meet up at the Stone Head — uh, that's a deli on the other side of town. There's replicas of the heads there and all.</p>
<p><strong>HAWTHORNE:</strong> We'll make sure to check it out. But if I might ask a more personal question — do you, yourself, believe in the heads?</p>
<p><strong>BURGERMAN:</strong> Believe in 'em? Sure, I can see them right over there, eh? Ha! Heh heh. Look… doing this gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe, at the end of the day, the Heads themselves aren't that important to me. But everyone else seems to love them and it's important to support the community, right? I already told you I pretty much only do this to see my daughter happy.</p>
<p><strong>SINGH:</strong> She's seven — <em>does</em> it make her happy?</p>
<p><strong>BURGERMAN:</strong> What kind of question is that?</p>
<p><strong>HAWTHORNE:</strong> Mike, how long have you been volunteering for?</p>
<p><strong>BURGERMAN:</strong> Uh… a while. A good long while, you know? (laughs) …ah, come on, now. I'm no good with dates.</p>
<p><strong>HAWTHORNE:</strong> Mike… is this your first time visiting the heads?</p>
<p><strong>BURGERMAN:</strong> That's quite insulting.</p>
</div>
<p>Mr. Burgerman was eager to leave once the interview was concluded, which we permitted. For the most part, his responses had left me little more than confused, but Sally seemed like she had some thoughts percolating.</p>
<p>Either way, it was gone midday. It seemed like a good idea to rouse Melanie and get everyone together for lunch.</p>

<p>It was 14:15 or so and the three of us — Dr. West, Ms. Hawthorne and I — had just had lunch at the Stone Head Delicatessen, the place that Mr. Burgerman had mentioned. We were sitting outside at a tiny metal table under an awning and the taste of my tuna baguette had survived even the full glass of water that followed.</p>
<p>There was hardly anyone about, so Dr. West began the process of brainstorming our next steps. We had already apprised her of the happenings during her absence.</p>
<p>"So, what are we doing next?" she asked. "Any ideas?"</p>
<p>We both moved to speak, but Sally got there first.</p>
<p>"The Akiva result doesn't make any sense. If there is a religious cult — and there <em>is</em>, we've spoken to two of its members — they must have some religious significance. We must have done the test wrong. I want to try again."</p>
<p>Melanie nodded. "Vikram?"</p>
<p>"The cult itself doesn't make much sense, either." I replied. "They don't seem to have any organising principles — there's not even a Facebook group. Sure, the delicatessen is named for the heads, and there's pictures of them on the walls, and a replica of one in a display case in the restroom… but nobody here seems to care. It's not the secret cult meeting spot that Mr. Burgerman implied."</p>
<p>"Also, it's weird that they call themselves a cult; isn't it normally the other way around?" Sally added.</p>

<p>Melanie paused for a moment, and I detected a waft of reminiscence. "Were either of you ever told the nursery rhyme about the Bradford Heads?"</p>
<p>When Sally and I both indicated that we had not, she continued: "It goes like this…</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em>Over down by Bradford way,<br/>
A farmer herds her flock.<br/>
Hiding 'neath the dirt she lay,<br/>
A face hewn into rock.</em></p>
</div>
<p>There's a stanza per head. It goes on a tangent about how some bishop fell in love with them. Not ringing any bells?"</p>
<p>I shook my head. "I've never heard of it. Maybe it's a generational thing?"</p>
<p>"No, I found it on Wikipedia while I was in the van. The article says it's well-known, so I think it's a little strange that none of us know it — not impossible, for sure, but worth double-checking. All we know right now is that the heads have a propensity for psychic connection despite not being sentient. That's not much to go on, but maybe this is related."</p>
<p>"I don't see how those two things could possibly be related."</p>
<p>"Nor me," said Melanie. "Maybe we should have a chat with Old Bob when he gets back. I'd like to speak to at least one cult member who knows what they're talking about. And I want to try linking with the heads I missed, as well."</p>

<p>"There's something in that one," Melanie said as she pulled away from '-5. "Something that didn't like me being in there as well. But it was weak, very weak."</p>
<p>"Compare it to '-1 through '-3?" Sally prompted.</p>
<p>"I didn't get anything from those. Connection, but nothing on the other side — someone picked up the phone but didn't say anything. This was like… I could hear that someone breathing at the end of the line. I don't know why it was different this time, though."</p>

<p>"I know this face."</p>
<p>"You can't know that face. That's impossible," I said. "It's hundreds of years old."</p>
<p>"No, I'm sure of it. This is Dr. Carruthers from Site-199 — he <em>was</em> one of the leading experts about the Daevite Empire. We attended a seminar in Daevastan about a year ago. The way he came across, I got the impression that… well, let's just say I had reason to remember him."</p>
<p>Sally and I glanced at each other. She must have felt our doubt.</p>
<p>"Alright, fine, it's not exactly scientific," Dr. West admitted. "I'll get in touch with Site-199 and get his profile — then you'll see what I mean, I'm sure of it."</p>

<p><strong>08:40</strong> - We arrived on site at the Salford Masonry under the guise of building surveyors. Agent Marques' initial report suggested a compulsion effect may be present, so each of us carries a compulsion monitor.</p>
<p>Gregory and I headed inside — Greg to place Kant counters around the building to set up the baseline measurement, myself to take inventory. Claire will remain outside with a theodolite for now, to survey the building.</p>
<p><strong>08:50</strong> - Arranged haphazardly around the shelves in the front room, I count 17 items that may have been for sale when the shop last opened its doors:</p>
<ul>
<li>4 small hand-carved stone statuettes, all low quality:
<ul>
<li>2 fairies,</li>
<li>1 nude female <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_29">in a fetal position,</span><span class="a_10">with no distinctive features,</span></span></li>
<li>1 gnome with a beard and pointed hat,</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>9 plastic/resin garden statuettes and ornament,</li>
<li>4 stone heads:
<ol>
<li>Male, weathered,</li>
<li>Female, weathered,</li>
<li>Male, weathered,</li>
<li>Male, very weathered.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
<p>From first impressions, the Masonry would be far better described as a gift shop than anywhere where any significant amount of actual masonry took place. The four stone heads are intriguing; they're far older and seem more like archeological artefacts than modern creations — the 4th one specifically has a rather Daevite look to it. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to analyse them in detail.</p>

<p>The back room has been left in a right state from neglect over the years. Anything valuable (e.g. stoneworking tools) were likely cleared out when the shop went out of business. Stone dust is everywhere — it's clear that at least <em>some</em> stone carving took place here.</p>
<p><strong>09:20</strong> - Greg reports that the Kant counters are in position and recording Hume levels. It'll take a while for them to collect enough data for us to draw any conclusions, so I sent him upstairs to search the office and living area upstairs for business records to analyse in the meantime.</p>
<p><strong>10:20</strong> - Claire finished taking measurements of the building's exterior, and I <em>had</em> told her to survey indoors as well, but I wanted to take a look at the stonework and thought I could use a second pair of eyes.</p>
<p>We each took one of the stone heads, hoping to glean some crucial insight, but it turns out Claire is as clueless as I am when it comes to geology. Not once in my life have I paid a thought to the field, but right now, I feel we're sorely missing an expert.</p>

<p>What I do feel comfortable assessing, however, is the art style. Three of the heads aren't familiar to me — could be Roman or Nordic or anything really. But the fourth was instantly recognisable. There's no question about it — <strong>this is a Daevite artefact.</strong> The artistic details give it away: how the face slope downwards, the sharp line in place of a mouth, the wide, flat curvature of the cranium — all that's missing is the traditional diamond-shaped eyes. The prospect of finding a Daevite head here in Bradford — no, better than that; of being the <em>first</em> to discover the <em>only</em> remaining artefacts of the Daevite Empire… that's <em>very</em> intriguing.</p>
<p>But, of course, I would need evidence — and what better way than to test it for thaumaturgy?</p>
<p><strong>11:10</strong> - I went outside to search the back of the van and eventually found the equipment I was looking for: two <a href="/goc-supplemental-arad">Aetheric Resonance Imaging</a> units, which we can use to observe Elan-Vital Energy flow — old tech, but it's the best I have.</p>
<p><strong>11:15</strong> - Both Greg and Claire were in the front room when I returned — Greg had scoured what documentation he could find upstairs, and was ready to present his report. I waved away their confusion as to why I had the ARI units, and had Claire go and collect the Kant counters. I offered the spare ARI unit to Greg, who accepted without enthusiasm, and our vision was replaced with the overwhelmingly-colourful digitally-enhanced kaleidoscope of EVE emissions. We began the thaumaturgy test.</p>

<p><strong>11:45</strong> - Thaumaturgic activity! It confirms beyond a shadow of a doubt that the heads are Daevite in origin; and it seems that Site-199 agrees, offering the SCP-8822 designation practically as soon as the word left my mouth.</p>
<p>The EVE connections between each head implies a thaumaturgy network, but neither I nor Greg know for certain what to make of the EVE buildup inside each head — I posit that these were used as thaumaturgical energy storage.</p>
<p>Claire is native to this world's consensus, so I can forgive her for not appreciating the significance of this discovery — but I was hoping that Greg would be a little more enthused. My excitement gave way to bubbling concerns. What does it mean for artefacts from the Daevite Empire to continue to exist, even now? It is possible the Chronicle is still exerting an influence, somehow? Why were they in a sculpture shop in Bradford of all places — how did they get here in the first place?</p>
<p>The answer to that last question, at least, would be in the business record if anywhere. As our economist, Greg confirmed that his business post-mortem had been completed for a while and that he'd been waiting for me to read it. After chastising him for withholding it, I did so.</p>

<p>'Cheshire Creations' registered in 1962 under Marilyn Cheshire, sculptor, as a summer/autumn market stall in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Cheshire Creations moves to permanent location in Bradford (quite far from Manchester — Salford would have been more sensible) in 1965. Employs Olivia Cheshire, daughter of Marilyn Cheshire. Missing transactions suggest one additional employee, not named, likely paid illegally.</p>
<p>Business halts when Marilyn Cheshire disappears; missing persons report remains unresolved to this day. Ownership is transferred to Olivia Cheshire following months of legal dispute. Rebrands to 'The Bradford Masonry'. Several local artists are contracted to produce saleable work. Eventually all contracts are consolidated unto one Christie Morreau.</p>
<p>Christie Morreau dies in 1985 and so does most of the business. Finances worsen. Sales of leftover Morreau pieces are supplemented with stone carving lessons; minimal but consistent takeup. Imports of cheap knick-knacks and garden ornaments begin in 1995 which are sold at high markup.</p>
<p>Customer inflow decreases to almost zero in 2008. Bankruptcy is declared in 2009.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>12:00</strong> - Not one mention of the stone heads. I instructed Greg to go back upstairs and check again, but he rebutted that he'd been sufficiently thorough.</p>
<p>That leaves us only with the assumption that the stone heads are the work of Christie Morreau — not a name I was familiar with, but I looked her up, and she was apparently quite the household name back in the day, in these parts, at least. But we've no idea how they became charged with thaumaturgic power.</p>
<p>Claire tried out the ARI unit while we were reading through the business report, and she wondered, out loud, whether it would be possible to see inside one of the heads. Greg responded that we could crack one of them open. He was obviously joking, but Claire seemed to accept it as an answer. I'm sure she'll get an instinct for these things, in time.</p>
<p><strong>12:20</strong> - We're going to need to discuss our next steps. In the meantime, it's time to visit that last head at the Stone Head Delicatessen.</p>

<hr/>
<p><em>[<strong>14:12</strong> - Researchers Carruthers and Blott are sitting at a table outside the Stone Head Delicatessen, having just finished lunch. A sullen silence has hung over the dining session in its entirety, excepting only a handful of purely perfunctory remarks where strictly necessary for the meal's execution. Carruthers is last to finish, a plain white coffee mug raised to his face, its sterile bottom visible to all. Blott's expression and body language are utterly illegible. Three plates depict an abstract medley of crumbs, butter, salt, pepper, and bottled sauces, and the fourth is empty.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Windford exits the delicatessen, having just returned from the womens' toilet, and sits dispassionately with her arms held close to her body as if the air is a full ten degrees cooler than it is. Carruthers places his empty coffee mug on the table and, after a moment, begins recording.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Alright then, team. What's our next step?</p>
<p><em>[No response from either Blott or Windford.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> No need for everyone to speak at once. Seems to me that our next step is to continue trying to figure out these heads' anomalous effects. Seeing as we're here at the Stone Head already, this is a good a place as any to start. Good bathroom trip, I hope, Claire? Did you see the head?</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> I— yeah, I saw it.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> And?</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> …and what?</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Any notes, observations? Anything that might help us?</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> …no? I didn't know that you… do you want me to go back?</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Yes, please.</p>
<p><em>[Windford leaves and heads back into the delicatessen.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Any thoughts from you?</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> Nope.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Come on, man. You're stonier than these heads.</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> These fucking heads. You know, just last week, they had me making thousands of financial transactions to communicate with a sentient fucking stock exchange. Last week, if I fucked up, a hundred thousand people would've lost their jobs. This week, if I fuck up, I drop a rock. At worst I hurt my foot. At best I hurt yours. Forgive me if I don't really give a shit.</p>
<p><em>[Carruthers and Blott sit in silence until Windford returns several minutes later. She takes her seat at the table.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> Yeah, there's a head in there. It's in a display case that's surrounded by framed photos of the four heads in the Masonry. It's a replica of <span class="ch_A"><span class="a_7 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-gary-angle">SCP-8822-3</span><span class="a_6 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-gary-straight">SCP-8822-3</span><span class="a_1 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-gary-angle">SCP-8822-3</span></span>, made of wax, according to the plaque. I don't see what the deal is.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Thank you, Claire. I admit that I was actually under the impression that the head here was a fifth Morreau piece. Unfortunately that doesn't leave us with much indication of what to do next.</p>
<p><em>[A moment of silence, throughout which Windford looks as if she is building up the courage to speak.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> That… might not be entirely true. Why <em>did</em> you think there was a head here?</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> It was in one of the reports.</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> Was it?</p>
<p><em>[Carruthers rummages through his bag and retrieves the relevant documentation: copies of the Parawatch posts, Agent Marques' report, and his own notes from this morning. He begins reading through them.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Right, the Parawatch threads mention both The Bradford Masonry and the Stone Head Delicatessen. Marques theorises specifically about their relationship. Ah, that doesn't seem right — the fact that the head here is wax ought to be common knowledge, if it's written on the placard.</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> <em>You</em> didn't know about it.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> That's true. Actually, it seems that all accounts are in consensus except for yours, Claire.</p>
<p><em>[As if having predicted this line of questioning, Windford retrieves her phone and shows Carruthers a photo she had taken of the head's display case.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Alright, so everyone else is wrong. How can that be?</p>
<p><em>[Blott, having been reading Carruthers' documents upside-down from the other side of the table, frowns, reaches forward and places his finger on Agent Marques' report.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> Marques recommended a disruption class of Vlam — there should be a minimum of four personnel on the research team.</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> I thought it was Notice? Did it change?</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Unlikely. There are far fewer anomalies that affect documentation than there are that affect memory; in fact, Foundation protocol outright states that we should trust documentation over memory, and that's why we produce so much of it.</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> Right, but, you keep saying the heads are from the Daevite Empire — I don't know much about that, I've not even been to Daevastan on holiday or anything like that, but wasn't that the Empire's whole schtick? Changing stuff?</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Well… sort of. The Daevites <em>themselves</em> can be characterised mostly by war and slavery. The retroactivity came from the Chronicle, and those changes were <em>vast:</em> mass graves, evidence of entire wars, countries rising and falling. But they were also far in the past and always served the eventual goal of moving the Empire's collapse further into the future — or so we thought at the time, anyway. These changes don't feel like that. We shouldn't be aware of them at all.</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> Okay, well, what if there's <em>another</em> Chronicle, in the future? When it gets written, it would change <em>our</em> timeline, right?</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Again, if that were the case, we wouldn't be aware of it.</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> Hang on. Nick, you think you read something that said there's meant to be a head in the toilets in this café, but you can't find it now. Claire, you think you read that Marques put Notice for the disruption class, but it says Vlam now. Looks like you were both right, because there <em>is</em> a wax head here, and we've only got three people. The documentation is wrong. It must have changed.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Alright, fine — maybe the heads are changing our documentation, but <em>only</em> our documentation. We'll run a couple of tests to see if they react to a few basic statements. How does that sound?</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> That sounds good!</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> Fine.</p>

<p>The back room has been left in a right state from neglect over the years. Anything valuable like stoneworking tools were likely cleared out when the shop went out of business. Stone dust is everywhere. I gathered a sample of it for Lauren, our geologist.</p>

<p><strong>09:55</strong> - Lauren reports that the hand-carved statuettes are made of local marble, and the stone dust from the back room is a mixture of that and limestone. She'll be moving onto the heads next.</p>
<p><strong>10:20</strong> - Claire finished taking measurements of the building's exterior, so she will continue her survey indoors. <iframe class="scout" loading="lazy" src="https://croquembouche.net/scp/scp-8822/scout-v1.html?contradiction=12"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>10:45</strong> - Lauren called me into the front room to discuss her findings. I stepped inside and <em>there,</em> at last, was the sensation that Agent Marques described: the plunge into the cold pool of awareness from the warm embrace of unthinking routine — compulsion recovery. Although my compulsion monitor is still flat, this is confirmation that whatever we're looking for is in the front room.</p>
<p>Lauren had looked at a plethora of metrics. She would've quite happily explained every single one to me — before I could stop her, she'd showed me limestone's reaction with hydrochloric acid, the calcium carbonate bubbling away as CO<sub>2</sub>, but the chemistry was as alien to me as Caldmann's explanation of the Hume.</p>

<p>Lauren thinks that the specificity of the carving indicates that three of the heads are likely portraits of real people. The fourth is different: the face's slope, the sharp little mouth, the flat top; save for its lack of diamond-shaped eyes, this is a Daevite artefact, surely! Lauren countered that there's not a single limestone deposit in Daevastan, so it couldn't be; plus, the stone dust indicated that it was recently-carved.</p>
<p>When I continued to insist, she finally suggested, frustratedly, that if I really thought it was Daevite, why not run a thaumaturgy test? I'm sure she was expecting that to be the last word.<br/>
<strong>11:10</strong> - I went outside to search the back of the van and eventually found the equipment I was looking for: two <a href="/goc-supplemental-arad">Aetheric Resonance Imaging</a> units, which we can use to observe Elan-Vital Energy flow. It's old tech, but it's the best I have.</p>
<p><strong>11:15</strong> - Both Greg and Claire were in the front room when I returned, each ready to present their report. I waved away their confusion as to why I had the ARI units, and had Claire go and collect the Kant counters. Lauren took the second ARI unit, and we began the thaumaturgy assay.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>11:45</strong> - Thaumaturgic activity! The Daevites were real all along! Site-199 seems to agree, offering the SCP-8822 designation practically as soon as the word left my mouth.</p>
<p>The EVE connections between each head implies a thaumaturgy network, so these heads could have once been components of a ritual. I don't know what to make of the EVE buildup inside each head, though. I posit that these were used as thaumaturgical capacitors, but my instincts are a little rusty; which is quite fair, I think!</p>
<p>Lauren's next idea was really quite brilliant — she's native to this world's consensus, yet she put the pieces together leagues before Greg or I. There's only one way for something from our old Daevite Empire to exist: if it were reality-anchored during <a href="/scp-6140">the transition.</a></p>
<p>Claire had taken the initiative to transmit the data from the Kant counters during our thaumaturgy test, and the results were already back from the Site-199 supercomputer:</p>

<p><strong>12:00</strong> - Two readily-observable indicators would have confirmed my theory. First, the presence of a reality anchor would create strong Hume winds, and the turbulence would be detectable for a good ten years afterwards. Second, if there were any thaumaturgic activity at all, Hume levels would have been absorbed by the resulting aspect radiation. Frustratingly, neither indicator is apparent. These Hume levels are barely anomalous.</p>
<p>Claire tried out the ARI unit while we were reading, and she wondered, out loud, whether it would be possible to see inside one of the heads. Greg joked that we could "crack open one of them". He was being facetious, clearly, but the subtext was lost on Lauren. She shut down the idea on the spot, accusing Greg of gross negligence for merely suggesting it. I am required to include her objection in my report:</p>

<p><strong>Windford:</strong> One of the heads is in the bathroom.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_24">Yes, and?</span><span class="a_10">What? Are you alright?</span></span></p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> It's <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_24 empty">_</span><span class="a_10">— yeah, I'm fine — it's</span></span> in the bathroom, next to the sinks, like it's <em>meant</em> to be there.

<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Claire, calm yourself, slow down. <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_24">We <em>know</em> there's a head in the bathroom, that's why we're here.</span><span class="a_10">It was the right thing to do to come tell us, but you're not making a lot of sense.</span></span> You're right in that I did call it compulsion recovery, but we don't<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span>—</p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> Are you okay? Not hurt or anything?</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> No, no, I mean, I'm totally frazzled right now, but I'm fine. Like, this isn't normal, right? What do we… what do we do?</p>
<p><em>[Carruthers falters.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> We go get it. Stay here, Claire.</p>

<p><em>[Shepherd and Windford leave the womens' toilet. They return outside to the table.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> Here's your recorder, Nick. We've got the head in my bag.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> You've <em>got the head?</em> In your bag? What on earth could possibly have compelled you to do that?</p>
<p><em>[Carruthers glances at Blott, lost for words.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Claire, are you <em>insane</em> or just incompetent? It's <em>supposed</em> to be in the display case in the bathroom. Go put it back, right now, please.</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> I— I'm so sorry, I didn't know, I'll<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span>—</p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> Hang on, Claire. You <em>do NOT</em> speak to her that way, Nick; but, how do you know about the display case?</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> It's… <em>what</em> is <em>happening</em> right now? Fuck's sake. <em>[He rummages through his notes.]</em> Right. One of the heads is here at the Stone Head. Four heads in total: three at the Masonry, one at the Delicatessen. You honestly don't recall?</p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> What? I have spent all morning around <em>all four</em> of those heads; now one of them moves here while Claire is in the bathroom, and I'm the only one who's worried about that?</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> For fuck's sake, Shepherd.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Greg, cool it. Lauren, nothing's moved — obviously the head is having some kind of anomalous effect on your memory. Let's take a few minutes, all four of us, to look through our notes from today and re-sync. How does that sound?</p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> Absolutely not. We were all on the same page three minutes ago. I think it's our notes that are compromised.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Sit down, Lauren. Foundation protocol is very clear in situations like this<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span>—</p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> <em>Protocol?</em> Seriously?</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">—</span>there are far fewer anomalies that affect documentation that there are that affect memory; when in doubt, we trust the documentation until proven otherwise, and that's why<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span>—</p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> Protocol, my ass! Rule <em>one</em> is to act on instinct and do what feels right, that's the very first thing they teach us. I find it <em>very, very</em> concerning that <em>your</em> first instinct is to accuse Claire of wrongdoing when the SCP we're investigating has <em>targeted</em> her? Her safety could be at risk and your solution is to tear her down. Claire should be furious with you. You're the team lead — we need to be able to trust you to protect us.</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> I don't feel like I'm in any<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span>—</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Lauren, you need to stop and think through what you're saying. I don't appreciate being accused<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span>—</p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> <em>You</em> need to think through what <em>you're</em> saying — you haven't seriously considered the situation at all! It doesn't make any sense for one of the heads to be here — and even if it was, I don't buy that we'd <em>stop for lunch</em><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span>—</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> Trust <em>you</em> to spew nonsense the second there's a hint of uncertainty.</p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> It doesn't matter if I'm wrong, Greg. The heads can move around, and fabricate display cases, and edit documentation — <em>or</em> — they can change memories. Maybe both! Both are bad!</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Okay, I'm listening, but only because it seems I no longer have a choice. What do you think we should do? <iframe class="scout" loading="lazy" src="https://croquembouche.net/scp/scp-8822/scout-v1.html?contradiction=A5"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> Stop. Call off testing, right now. Go home.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Call off testing? Do I need to remind you that our objective is to determine the right containment procedures?</p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> We <em>already have</em> the right procedures! These things were perfectly contained for <em>years</em> in an abandoned building with no-one thinking about them. <em>We've</em> fucked up that system by giving them attention and one of them has <em>already</em> escaped to a fucking deli. All we need to do is put them in a box and <em>forget about them.</em> That's it. It couldn't be easier.</p>
<p><em>[Carruthers glances at Blott and Windford.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> What do you two think?</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> Whatever gets me home fastest.</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> I… I don't know. I feel like stopping now would only be doing half the job, wouldn't it?</p>
<p><em>[Carruthers drums his fingers on the table, debating internally.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Fine. We can't risk it. Put '-3 in the van. We'll stop by the Masonry, pick up our stuff and the other heads, then head back to Site-199. But Lauren, keep in mind, this will be in my report.</p>
<p><strong>Shepherd:</strong> That's fine. Thank you, Nick. I really feel this is the right thing to do.</p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>14:20</strong> - We've returned to The Bradford Masonry, still undercover as building surveyors — we're lucky that none of the locals seem to care about our comings and goings.</p>
<p>I had Claire gather the four heads together in the shop's front room while Greg went upstairs to put away the documents and such that he'd been looking at for the business analysis — leave no trace, after all.</p>
<p>Once Claire was ready, the two of us put our heads together and tried to imagine what kind of statement the heads would be most receptive to changing, if they were willing and able to do so in the first place. The approach we've decided on is <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_32">to expose the heads to a neutral, basic statement and see what, if anything, happens. That will let us establish a strong baseline to inform additional tests. If it doesn't work, we can try other approaches.</span><span class="a_10">quite pragmatic and based on research by Dr. Cunningham — we will ask a head a question and provide a wrong answer; we reason that if the heads are able to change text, they will do so to correct us.</span></span></p>
<p>For the most accurate test possible, we need an objective fact that is known to be correct. I realise that there's shockingly little we know for certain — <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_32">but geology is a fairly objective baseline, so querying the rock composition seems like the best way to go.</span><span class="a_10">material seems like the best way to go, but we don't even know what kind of stone they're made of!</span></span></p>

<p><strong>14:40</strong> - Claire and I waited as long as we could bear, but there was no indication that our written statement would (or could!) change. We aren't quite ready to give up, though. It's time for a more <span class="ch_B"><span class="a_33">aggressive</span><span class="a_10">pragmatic</span></span> approach.</p>
<p><span class="ch_B"><span class="a_33">If we can't bait the heads with false information, perhaps we can attack their ego directly, if they have one. We'll expose the heads to disparaging statements: I theorise that they may be extorted into correcting an offensive description, like how a human might respond to an inflammatory statement that damages their pride. Of course, we're still assuming that the heads think like people, which may not be the case at all.</span><span class="a_10">Given that our goal is to establish containment procedures, it would be wise to verify that the heads' presumed properties do not make them unusually resistant to containment — if they're able to change their own special procedures, that could be disastrous! Of course, at this stage, we don't necessarily want them to know that we intend to contain them, assuming they're even aware of the statement, which may not be the case at all.</span></span></p>

<p><strong>14:55</strong> - Greg came downstairs as we were waiting for the heads to have a chance to change the second statement. <iframe class="scout" loading="lazy" src="https://croquembouche.net/scp/scp-8822/scout-v1.html?contradiction=33^"></iframe></p>
<p>He was apprised of our efforts so far and, on reviewing the outcome of the first test, suggested that the statement we'd used wasn't consistent with how I'd described the test before. Claire and I re-read and neither of us could work out what he was talking about. Greg argued that this alone could be evidence of retroactivity, but given that Daevite changes have <em>never</em> worked like that, I shut down that idea.</p>
<p>With no indication that either of the tests would succeed, Greg picked up <span class="ch_A"><span class="a_7 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-christie-angle">SCP-8822-2</span><span class="a_6 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-christie-straight">SCP-8822-2</span><span class="a_1 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-christie-angle">SCP-8822-2</span></span> and held it high, as if ready to drop it.</p>

<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> What the <em>hell</em> are you doing?</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> I'm going to crack one of them open. Like we agreed this morning.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> You were joking! You were obviously joking. You were joking, right?</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> I wasn't joking. You were one-hundred-percent down for this earlier, Nick, it was Claire who objected. But whatever. <em>I'm</em> going to find out what's inside these things.</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> I didn't object! I don't think I said anything.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> This is insane, Greg. Try thinking through the ramifications for once in your life — we thought the heads might react to <em>text,</em> imagine how they might react to an <em>attack?</em></p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> Well, your tests aren't getting fucking anywhere, are they? Rock composition and insults? What the fuck do <em>you</em> know about rock composition? Would you even be able to tell if it had changed?</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> We're <em>supposed</em> to have a geologist on the team, so in principle, that test is apt. Very plausible, actually.</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> Nick, remember when we tried to use some of the stuff from the geologist's kit earlier, and we didn't know what to do with any of it? I don't think it's plausible that you picked geology to use for the first test… plausible for someone else, just not… you.</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> Why do we even <em>have</em> a geology kit? That's not standard equipment, that's on-request shit, like the thaumaturgy headset things you brought.</p>
<p><strong>Carruthers:</strong> Put a sock in it, both of you! The details of the first test are, frankly, irrelevant. Smashing an SCP — <em>threatening</em> to smash an SCP — is gross misconduct. Greg, I've half a mind to boot you back to Site-91.</p>
<p><strong>Windford:</strong> 91?</p>
<p><strong>Blott:</strong> Site-fucking-91? This is officially fucked up now. Sit down, Nick; I'm calling Site-199 and reporting this shit. Claire, pack up the heads, we're getting the fuck out of here.</p>

<h2 id="toc50"><span>EXPANSION STRATEGY</span></h2>
<h3 id="toc51"><span>TOP SECRET · LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED</span></h3>
<p>An unexpectedly successful word-of-mouth marketing campaign for the initial exhibition of the Heads in Cartwright Hall, Bradford attracted the attention of the local media. Following an extraordinarily competent and charismatic interview by our Founder, of which only written records exist, the collection continued to attract attention to the point where it was beyond the capacity of Cartwright Hall.</p>
<p>The Foundation was subsequently contacted by the Strategic Curation Panel, a business-to-business for-profit initiative with the self-stated mission of maximising the impact of art exhibitions. The Panel explained that they had extensive experience in artistic management, including of sculptures specifically, and were willing to strike a deal.</p>
<p>Our contract with the Panel states the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Foundation retains sole ownership of SDP-8822.</li>
<li>The Foundation is permitted to display SDP-8822 in locations owned by the Panel, consisting of eight galleries and/or exhibition suites throughout Northern England, including Leeds, Manchester, Salford, Liverpool and York.</li>
<li>SDP-8822 exhibits will be staffed and guarded by Panel personnel.</li>
<li>The Foundation may rotate SDP-8822 stock between locations as required; SDP-8822 items not on display may be kept at any of the Panel's storage facilities.</li>
<li>Entrance fees will be split between the two organisations: 70% to the Panel, 30% to the Foundation. Proceeds from merchandise sold on-site by the Foundation will be retained by the Foundation.</li>
<li>SDP-8822 must be exclusively displayed at Panel-owned locations only.</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="ch_B"><span class="a_49">We intend to eventually display the entire SDP-8822 collection simultaneously, so this offer was accepted with the proviso that we would be allowed to display more SDP-8822 exhibits in additional locations as we acquire them, an amendment to which the Panel was reluctantly forced to agree.</span><span class="a_47">Although we would like to be able to display SDP-8822 in other locations, this offer has been accepted as a cost-saving measure.</span><span class="a_10">Given that prior to this offer the only display site available to the Foundation was Cartwright Hall, the deal was eagerly accepted.</span></span></p>
<p><span class="ch_B"><span class="a_49">Pending</span><span class="a_10">Any</span></span> renegotiations will be subject to discussion with our primary contact for and liaison to the Panel, who is currently Ms. L Shepherd.</p>

<p>Melanie slipped her phone back into her pocket and returned to <span class="ch_A"><span class="a_7 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-nicholas-angle">SCP-8822-6</span><span class="a_6 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-nicholas-straight">SCP-8822-6</span><span class="a_1 croqstyle-img-footnote img-head-nicholas-angle">SCP-8822-6</span></span>. She picked it up and held it close to her face, exhaling slowly as she stared right into its eyes. I let the silence linger for a moment, but I'd barely opened my mouth before she turned to me, eyebrows raised in anticipation, goading me into asking my question.</p>
<p>"No luck, then?"</p>
<p>"No luck," she replied. "Said they'd call back if they heard anything, but I don't think they will. Seems like he never existed at all."</p>
<p>"For what it's worth, I believe you."</p>
<p>"Nah, come off it. You weren't thinking that five minutes ago."</p>
<p>"Come on now, you're not <em>that</em> psychic."</p>
<p>"You're such a fucking sycophant, Vik, you know that? Right, come on. Let's get these last two tested. Where'd Sally go? She was right here."</p>
<p>On cue, Sally came in from the back room of the Masonry, wearing a perturbed expression and fiddling with some device — possibly a compulsion monitor, but she put it away before I could get a good look.</p>
<p>"Here, boss," she said. "Felt something odd just now — thought I'd see if was coming from anywhere, but it's gone now. Probably imagined it."</p>
<p>Melanie nodded and shifted SCP-8822-6's weight in her hands. "Keep an eye on that, I want to hear if it happens again. Vik, pass me '-7 and start recording. Let's get this over with."</p>

<td>Connected to '-6. Feels very similar to the last one: something there, but only barely. It's different, not in any specific way, it's just different — what I mean is, if there's an entity in here, this and the one in '-5 are different entities, not different facets of the same being.<br/>
<br/>
It knows I'm in here. I feel it feeling me right back. Hello? I don't mean to intrude. I just want to understand.<br/>
<br/>
I think it wants to speak to me, but it doesn't know the words. It wants to communicate but it's got nothing to say. There's guilt and jealousy in here, but it's not the almost-anger that I felt in the other head. I feel welcome, but I don't belong. Disconnecting.<br/>
<br/>
Moving on to '-7… and I'm in. Oh, you're a little quieter. Dimmer. Like you've had more time to fade… or maybe faded faster.<br/>
<br/>
This one feels a little more like the first three; it's almost empty. I'm not going to get much from this.</td>

<p>Once Melanie had detached from the heads, I readied myself to catch her again, but she took a deep breath and turned to us, seemingly fine. Sally and I awaited her verdict.</p>
<p>"There's something in these heads, but whatever it is, it's dying. '-1, '-2, '-3 and '-7 are as good as gone already. '-5 and '-6 need protecting. I'm not sure about '-4 but I'd sooner lump it in with the latter than the former."</p>
<hr/>
<p>There it was: the heads were dying. In situations like this this there's always the dark temptation to just <em>let it happen</em>; the thought, however misguided, that maybe the current course is the best. Working with a telepath is freeing in many ways — the dark thoughts are laid bare, to be interrogated and dismantled; rather than buried, to grow and bloom again.</p>
<p>The three of us sat in the circle of chairs in the back room and discussed for over an hour. We examined every detail, every bit of evidence we'd collected so far. There was so little we knew about the heads, but even after having known them for only a few hours, I felt that I cared for them. I wanted them to survive.</p>
<hr/>
<p>We were interrupted by the sound of the front door opening — Old Bob. He let himself in and joined us, without invitation, in the back room.</p>
<p>Melanie reached below the seat of her chair where Old Bob couldn't see and made a squeezing motion with her thumb and forefinger: the universal Foundation symbol that meant <em>start recording.</em></p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>WEST:</strong> Welcome back, Bob. You're right on time, we were just getting ready to leave.</p>
<p><strong>'OLD BOB':</strong> Aye, aye. It's been nice getting to take a break. I trust you've not had any guests? I did make sure to tell everyone the Masonry would be closed today.</p>
<p><strong>HAWTHORNE:</strong> We've had one, but he was no trouble.</p>
<p><strong>WEST:</strong> Bob, if it's alright with you, before we leave, may we ask you a few questions?</p>
<p><strong>'OLD BOB':</strong> Aye, shoot.</p>
<p><strong>WEST:</strong> I was curious about your personal relationship with the heads — I don't suppose you'd be willing to share a few details about that?</p>
<p><em>[Hawthorne retrieves the Akiva counter from her pocket.]</em></p>
<p><strong>'OLD BOB':</strong> About that? That's pretty open-ended. What did you want to know specifically?</p>
<p><strong>HAWTHORNE:</strong> Are the heads personally significant to you?</p>
<p><strong>'OLD BOB':</strong> That they are — I'm a custodian of these heads. I'm proud to stand watch over this Masonry.</p>
<p><strong>SINGH:</strong> With all due respect, that doesn't really answer the question.</p>
<p><strong>'OLD BOB':</strong> Oh, what? Is this an interrogation now?</p>
<p><strong>WEST:</strong> Vikram! Bob, I am so sorry about my colleague. Let's move on.</p>
<p><strong>HAWTHORNE:</strong> Why do you volunteer for the Bradford Heads cult?</p>
<p><strong>'OLD BOB':</strong> Well, it's something to do, isn't it? I saw the work the cult was doing for the community and I just knew I had to be part of it. And look at these things! They're gorgeous, no? How could you not want to be close to 'em?</p>
<p><strong>HAWTHORNE:</strong> Could only someone who truly believes in the Bradford Heads become a custodian?</p>
<p><strong>'OLD BOB':</strong> Are you doubting my credentials? Yes, of course. It's one of the highest honours.</p>
<p><strong>HAWTHORNE:</strong> Alright. Thank you, Bob. I think I've got what I need.</p>
<p><strong>WEST:</strong> You can go now.</p>
<p><strong>'OLD BOB':</strong> Alright.</p>
</div>
<p>Old Bob left via the same way that he'd come in.</p>
<hr/>
<p>We regrouped following the interview.</p>
<p>"I think it's safe to say that we didn't learn anything from that," I said. "How's about we find some other members of the group to talk to?"</p>
<p>Melanie looked as if she was about to agree with me, but Sally spoke first.</p>
<p>"I think I know what's killing the heads."</p>
<p>Whatever thought Melanie was about to share was entirely forgotten. "You do?"</p>
<p>"It's the Akiva field." <iframe class="scout" loading="lazy" src="https://croquembouche.net/scp/scp-8822/scout-v1.html?contradiction=A7"></iframe></p>
<p>I shook my head. "Can't be — we've established that there's practically zero Akiva radiation."</p>
<p>"Exactly! These heads are the focal point of a religious cult. They <em>should</em> have a field, and Old Bob and Mr. Burgerman <em>should</em> have detectably reinforced it. Members of the cult gather here, make pilgrimage here, house custodians here — the heads <em>should</em> always be exposed to fresh belief."</p>
<p>Sally stopped to catch her breath before resuming. "Except they're not. Mr. Burgerman just wants to be a role model for his daughter, and Old Bob evaded every single question we asked — I don't think either of them believe in anything at all. The Bradford Heads are supposedly incredibly famous, but we've never heard of them — none of us even recognise the nursery rhyme."</p>
<p>A frown had been building on my face as I struggled to predict what she was going to say next. Melanie shared a similar expression.</p>
<p>"So…?"</p>
<p>"So the religion is fake. It's a psychic projection that has hundreds of people convinced they believe it — but no one actually does, so there's no Akiva field. The heads are starving. <em>That's</em> why they're dying."</p>
<p>She stopped, breath bated, waiting for someone to react, to tell her that she was genius or an idiot. She glanced at me. She glanced at Melanie. I was way out of my depth; I had nothing to contribute.</p>
<p>"Listen, Sally," Melanie said, slowly, as if choosing her words carefully. "Your theory reflects a… rudimentary understanding of the Akiva field. The mechanics of Akiva radiation are a tightly-kept secret by the Department of Tactical Theology, and even I'm not permitted to divulge what little I know about it. But regardless, consider this: per your theory, if even one person were to truly believe in the Bradford Heads as per a religion, there would be an Akiva field to measure. If I've learned anything about people, it's that they're stupid — in a cult this size, there must be at least one."</p>
<p>"That only <em>supports</em> my theory," Sally argued. "If the heads have been draining the field, that could well leave a religious cult with no believers, right? I don't mean to rush you, boss, but my theory is the only one we have so far, and the heads are going to die regardless. We have to protect them, if we can — that <em>is</em> the Foundation's third tenet, after all. Even if it's based on a hunch."</p>
<p>With a frustrated expression and a mental grimace, Melanie turned to me.</p>
<p>"I need a second opinion here, Vik. What's your gut telling you?"</p>
<p>My response was immediate. "If Sally's going to cite the Foundation's tenets, then I will, too. We've been asked to <em>contain</em> these heads, and to do that, we need more information. We've had two useless interviews, so really, we don't know anything. We need to talk to more members of the cult — or, honestly, anyone who's actually familiar with the Bradford Heads. If I could expose the heads to more people, I would."</p>
<p>Melanie took a moment to ponder. I felt the exact moment that her mind was made up — it was the safe option, borne from the obligation of duty, not the thrill of discovery.</p>
<p>"Alright, Sally. We're going with your plan — but we're going to have to head back to Site-91 to have even a <em>chance</em> of generating any level of Akiva radiation… and even then, it's a stretch. Let's pack up the heads and go."</p>
<hr/>
<p>With all SCP-8822 members stowed in bags and equipment cases, we left The Bradford Masonry. We passed Old Bob, who complained unintelligibly at us about having been told to leave, and stored everything in the van. Then, we left.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum: Post-recovery</strong></p>
<p>After Dr. West's team brought SCP-8822 to Site-91, efforts were undertaken to generate an artificial Akiva field as per Researcher Hawthorne's recommendation.</p>
<p>Construction of an artificial belief field was not immediately successful. Site-91 did not have the equipment or the expertise to overcome the Generation Problem and produce Akiva radiation from nothing.</p>
<p>The <a href="/tactical-theology-hub">Department of Tactical Theology</a> was consulted for assistance. Dr. Dullahan of the Parareligions Division was dispatched to Site-91 to investigate, and following their report to the DoTT, Site-91 was ordered to cease attempting to develop Akiva production technology and destroy all progress thus far.</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8824</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> A recording of all intercepted SCP-8824 instances is to be kept on file. Future SCP-8824 instances should be reviewed, prioritizing data suggesting the location of filming or the identity of the entities (corporate or otherwise) responsible for Toujôurs fragrances.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8824 is a series of advertisements (seven recorded at this time) for Toujôurs perfume and cologne, a fragrance that does not exist in baseline reality. These advertisements have a number of anomalous properties, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Televisions, laptops and other visual electronic devices may receive these ads, despite no station or site transmitting them. These ads will replace non-anomalous, expected advertising.</li>
<li>Any person who hears the advertisement will be capable of spelling the name of the fragrance, Toujôurs, even if they are illiterate. This invariably includes the diacritic mark, which is omitted in the most similar existing word.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> This name is not seen written in the ad.</li>
<li>While watching the ad, viewers have reported smelling a strong, pleasant fragrance which they describe in similar terms. All such descriptions have the same effect, and so should be redacted until this is further studied to determine memetic side effects.</li>
<li>The sole person visible on-screen, a young woman, does not appear to be a willing actress. All efforts to identify her have failed.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Addendum: Ad Transcripts</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ad #1 - "Toujôurs the Beach"</strong><br/>
<em>Recovered 7/14/24</em></p>

<p><strong>Addendum: Final Note</strong><br/>
No further advertisements for Toujôurs fragrances have been recovered. Future efforts should be focused on identifying the source of these products, as the woman appearing in the videos is presumed deceased and unrecoverable.</p>
<p>On 7/25/24, a shipment of Toujôurs perfume and cologne was discovered in a warehouse in Tampa, Florida. This had not been ordered and the reason for its appearance could not be explained.</p>
<p>The theory stands that this fragrance is not manufactured in baseline reality; molecular testing has shown it to be non-anomalous in all other respects, being similar to any other alcohol-based luxury fragrance.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup></p>
<p>Agents should remain alert to intercept and confiscate any future appearance of these products, or any related artifacts which indicate the possible confluence of this reality with our own.</p>

<p>One phone rang. Then a second. His personal cellphone and his landline were both blowing up, and he got to the office at town hall to nothing but more pandemonium.</p>
<p>Already, it was only one in the afternoon, he had just gotten back to the office after his lunch break, and already there was a message on his desk, a faxed memo from something called The Foundation, the word <em>protect</em> looking back at him sharply, on a weird arrowed insignia.</p>
<p>Something about the fall of paranormality, and offering assistance in reintegrating their city to the modern day. Because years have elapsed, the world had changed overnight, the citizens of this city jumped forwards years into the future.</p>
<p>And yet, despite all this, the shock setting in, all he could do was look at the gentle fall of white flecks, soft cold descending from the heavens, that a part of him had so dearly missed.</p>

<p><strong>LOCATION:</strong> The State of Oklahoma.</p>
<p><strong>DESCRIPTION:</strong> EXB-08831 is the city of Halloween, Oklahoma. Sometime during October 2016, the town entered an IO-Locked Scenario (see below).</p>
<p>The entirety of the town was confined within the dates October 1st 2016 and October 31st 2016. Cultural trends, weather, food/water supplies, etc., remained consistent to how it was during this timeframe, with physical resources anomalously replenishing themselves through as-of-yet unknown means.</p>
<p>The IO-Locked Scenario that affected EXB-08831 lasted 2,617 days before abruptly self-terminating on January 1st 2024. During that time, EXB-08831's anomalous effects caused October 2016 to occur eighty-six (86) times in succession. During the Scenario, citizens of Halloween were anomalously imperceptive to the lack of temporal progression, and it was impossible for citizens of Halloween to leave the city.</p>
<p>In the aftermath of the Scenario ending, the citizens of EXB-08831 are being aided in adjusting to the year 2024.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Common Anomalous Zones and How they Operate, Volume 12.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>A Locked Scenario (LS)</strong> occurs when an event, incident, or sequence of actions is anomalously extended past its logical expiration. These phenomena should not be confused with <strong>Temporal Loops (TL)</strong>, which create brackets of repeating time - Locked Scenarios merely repeat the event itself as time progresses. To achieve this effect, an LS will often alter human perception, along with any number of core scientific principles. Often mischaracterized as "hauntings" or "curses", some examples of Locked Scenarios in the Foundation database include <a href="http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-112">SCP-112</a>, <a href="http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-4382">SCP-4382</a>, and <a href="http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1337">SCP-1337</a>. As each of these documents demonstrate, Locked Scenarios can be incredibly dangerous, and require proper understanding for their safe containment and/or resolution.<br/>
An LS will operate under two set variables: <em>Protracted vs. Indefinite</em>, and <em>Static vs. Organic.</em></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A Protracted LS (P-LS)</strong> will eventually self-terminate.</li>
<li><strong>An Indefinite LS (I-LS)</strong> will be self-sustaining.</li>
</ul>
<p>High-sensitivity Kant Counters can be used to tell these phenomena apart. The more common P-LS will show a gradual decline in Hume levels, culminating in a total field collapse or "burnout". An I-LS will show steady, or bare fluctuations in Hume levels, and will always require some form of external resolution.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A Static LS (S-LS)</strong> will only repeat a sequence of events.</li>
<li><strong>An Organic LS (O-LS)</strong> will "progress" within its own set confines.</li>
</ul>
<p>Consider this separation in terms of a baseball game. In an S-LS, the game will repeat its nine innings over and over. In an O-LS, the game will continue into a 10th inning and beyond, with the score progressively increasing. Combining these factors, a Locked Scenario can be interchangeably characterized as PO-LS, or IS-LS, etc.</p>

<p>As an employee of Site-122, I can confidently say Oklahoma might be the most non-anomalous state in America, and one of the most non-anomalous places in the world. Prior to Halloween, the most anomalous thing in Site-122 was a Walkman that incited hallucinations that even amnestics couldn't scrub. We contained it by putting it in an old shoe box in one of the lockers.</p>
<p>So once we got a real anomaly, a bonafide Keter-class IO-Locked Scenario, an entire town abruptly losing all connection to the outside world, it was all hands on deck. Site-122 was maybe more lax with rules than we should've been, half the staff barely knew how to administer amnestics, seeing as that shoebox hadn't been opened in seven years. We needed to outsource our interviews to keep them consistent.</p>
<p>And despite that, Halloween became a passion project. And while it maybe led to some less than stellar following of protocol, I would like to hope we did it right.</p>

<p><em>The Mayor of Halloween, Oklahoma, <strong>Douglas Hamilton</strong>, is sitting across a table from Dr. <a href="/scp-6494">Amity Thorn</a>, member of the Foundation Media Department.</em></p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> So, um. As I said, thank you for allowing this meeting, uh, in person, Mr. Hamilton.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> I can't, I… What do you know of…</p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> Of what happened?</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> <em>(nods)</em></p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> How, how blunt and to the point would you like me to be?</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> It's for the best that I… that I know everything. The town… the <em>town</em> needs me to know.</p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> <em>(smiles)</em> I like you. But anyway, all of 8831 - well, that's what we'd been calling Halloween -, it… You were stuck in what could simply be called a time loop. You knew that. But, the exact details of the time loop are… weird.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> I'm listening.</p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> The Foundation calls it a Locked Scenario - in this case, its a time loop that keeps going. My go-to example is <a href="/scp-5858">a play that went on for, like, two-thousand acts straight.</a> Act, intermission, act, intermission, on loop for three years. No one even thought it was weird.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> Is that… This thing, is that what happened here?</p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> <em>(pause)</em> More or less. There's a lot more terminology, but I'm not one to explain what Hume levels and the like are. That's everything that needs to be known to get the gist. Point is, anyway, not alone. But Halloween went on for a lot longer than usual.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> And you're here to help, document it, correct?</p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> Yes. Media department, and we know a couple studios to help make that vision a reality, too. Between you and me, the Foundation isn't used to PR, so our media department is a lot of run-off from other media companies now out of work, like Pixar and MGM<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> …Pixar? The Toy Story people?</p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> Yep!</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> Occult magic was the framework for their software.</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> I see.</p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> Point is, I want to help make Halloween's story known.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> Ms. Thorn?</p>
<p><strong>Thorn:</strong> Yes?</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> I want to make something clear. Halloween has been a town under my protection since September 2016. Regardless of how <em>you</em> define that, it doesn't change that I know this town better than anyone. I want a hand in this documentary on a granular level. I want Halloween's story to be known, not slaughtered.</p>

<p>I remember Halloween. The holiday, the night of trick-or-treating, that is. Making costumes calmly, hearing my parents argue downstairs, drowning it out with the new Knocked Loose album.</p>
<p>Every Halloween, at my high school, there was a day of festivities, in-school events like costume contests and games and it was nice. School was my escape, and although I didn't really think about it, I started having school as not just an escape, but as a celebration every month.</p>
<p>Every Halloween, people dress up as someone else, escaping themselves. And I've spent years escaping with Halloween.</p>

<p><strong>SITE OF REINTEGRATION:</strong> Many formerly-anomalous citizens have gotten used to life within the Foundation, within anomalous areas, and/or had their lives disrupted by anomalous means that concluded with SCP-8300.</p>
<p>Estimated financial cost of therapy and rehabilitation for affected persons would strain the civilian world's existing health systems, and so the Foundation has repurposed Site-122 into the main Site of Reintegration, formed to help civilians adjust to life after anomalous routine.</p>
<p>While the main location for the Site of Reintegration is established in Durant, Oklahoma, due to the relatively-mundane life of the personnel of Site-122 and its location to EXB-08831, all Foundation sites will offer a Department of Reintegration, with varying magnitudes of services and amenities for its attendants.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7518">former director of Site-18</a> was literally smote where he stood, apparently unforgiven by God for something. Comparatively, I'm well-adjusted.</p>
<p>Nothing ever happened at Site-122, so we mostly spent our time on Halloween. We sent operatives in when we could, to try and host events to add a sense of change to the community. We broke our own containment procedures to try and help people move out, but it was like that scene in The Truman Show, where absolutely everything goes wrong. We tried. So we focused on making them content. Making sure they had fun, making sure the holidays ran right. The Overseers would've never stood for it, but the Overseers don't stand for much anymore.</p>
<p>In the aftermath of 8300, we are down nearly 80% of our staff. I don't care if it kills me, though, I'm not quitting until Halloween is happy. <em>Actually</em> happy.</p>

<br/>
<strong>Directive:</strong> Adjusting the citizens of EXB-08831 (formerly SCP-8831) to the year 2024. Citizens had been temporally dislocated in an IO-Locked Scenario in October 2016.
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong> The following steps are to be taken, concurrently.</p>
<ul>
<li>Properly inform and vaccinate the citizens of EXB-08831 against COVID-19, as per current CDC guidelines.</li>
<li>Restore EXB-08831's financial standing within the greater Oklahoma, American, and global economy.</li>
<li>Accelerate EXB-08831's historical and technological standing to be in line with the greater Oklahoma and American society.</li>
<li>The legal identification of most citizens in EXB-08831 has expired. It is to be replaced free or charge.</li>
<li>As with most of the world, the census is to be conducted to update records to accommodate inaccuracies caused by anomalous effects.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Site of Reintegration's personnel are dedicating resources to assisting the population of EXB-08831.

<p>As Director of Reintegration, I've been having a bit of a hand in all departments of the Foundation recently, now that we're on the other side of the Veil. And it's incredible to see. People are being affected greatly, and I mean, obviously they would be.</p>
<p>There's this fascinating thing I've found out: when you are the Foundation, the bare minimum of human decency becomes a grand gesture, without effort. Do you know how heartwrenching it is to see a <em>kid</em> cry tears of joy because we aren't inhumanely locking them up? We had given this kid a life sentence for the cardinal sin of paranormality. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">If I ever meet this godforsaken Ethics Commi</span></p>
<p>Ultimately, we've created a dependency on being anomalous. There's this one guy at Site-19 who literally wanted nothing more than to be a part of the Foundation, because it would give his life meaning - but the very reason his life held no meaning <em>was</em> the Foundation.</p>
<p>All this is to say, Halloween's going as well as you'd expect.</p>

<p>The producers apparently spent a long time trying to decide who would be the first face you saw when you started the documentary. They ultimately settled on someone who should've graduated college and didn't because of everything.</p>
<p>The set is beautiful; it's mostly open to the elements, but with a nice gazebo where a chair has been set up. The cameras and lights all contained within, the traces of autumn being wiped out by snowfall visible behind me.</p>
<p>The makeup took forever, and then the mayor - I think he's the director? - got mad at them because apparently I wasn't supposed to be wearing any. Grateful for that, I don't like the way it felt on my face.</p>
<p>The cameras started rolling, and I felt more stressed now more than ever. But I knew my lines, and was told not to be worried. Just be myself. And to start talking when I was ready.</p>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<p>I have long known of Halloween, the holiday and the locale, but I was never much for the latter. Since the fall of privacy in the paranormal worlds, however, I have had an abundance of time, and on a whim chose to watch <em>What Happened To Halloween</em>. What I expected to say is, like most documentaries, it would be a hackneyed retelling of a story, made with tasteless commentary and a lack of focus on the stars of tragedy: the citizens building a new life.</p>
<p>I am pleasantly surprised. <em>What Happened To Halloween</em> spends very little time trying to excuse the actions, opting instead to cleanly divide the film into two parts: the locked status the town had held, and the unlocked status it now resides in, the aftermath of people trying to heal.</p>
<p>Most of my complaints do relate to the event's rather lackluster camera work, but those problems are waived when you realize that, despite big names of The Foundation and Vikander tied to it, they are merely assisting the citizens to make the masterpiece themselves. In a landslide, shoddy camera work turns into a quirk of life.</p>

<p>Waking up on my day off, because I always have the first off, walking out my door at nearly eleven AM, and seeing firefighters, police, and white vans with secure, contain, protect plastered on them was a worrying sight. A gas leak, a terrorist, another type of threat? And yet all that was special was it being January 1st. But that wasn't what hurt. It wasn't finding out about fucking Bigfoot or that apparently those damn Parawatch people were right all along. That wasn't what got me.</p>
<p>It was finding out my uncle had passed away four years ago of a sickness I had never known about. He died, alone, and because of this damn town, I wasn't there for him in his final hours, like he was for me and my wife when she passed.</p>
<p>So, I was one of the first people out of Oklahoma, travelling as fast as that damn museum could get me my passport - because apparently mine is five years out of date - and visiting him in remote, middle of nowhere Iroquois Falls. There, as one of the many graves, was my uncle. The man who practically raised me.</p>

<p><em>The Mayor of Halloween, Oklahoma, <strong>Douglas Hamilton</strong>, is sitting across a table from Dr. Alexandria Thompson, Director of Integration.</em></p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> I only got around to watching the doc about… a week ago? Absolutely incredible work, really, it's just… I. Stellar.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> Miss… Thompson? Miss Thompson, it is to my knowledge that your… your site, was supposed to protect us. Is this, is this right?</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> Yes, it was our-</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> <em>(loudly)</em> So why didn't you?</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> …Was that rhetorical? I can never tell. People skills, not my…</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> I take it that it was. Go on, sorry.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> For years, we existed, stuck, and your Foundation was supposed to protect us. Your location didn't protect anything else, why didn't you protect us? Instead, you merely watched, providing small things, but it never mattered. You <em>left</em> us.</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> …may I…</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> I'm sorry. I followed protocols that I shouldn't have, and the Foundation may have been why I failed you, my personnel maybe even. But it's my fault, for not seeking some proposal or approval, training my staff better. Halloween stayed stuck, and it's fair to hate me.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> …What are you… planning to…?</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> Hmm?</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> Are you sticking with this Foundation?</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> I haven't decided. They want me on the Board of Directors - god, we have a board now. But… but not until everything here is resolve-</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> <em>(loudly)</em> It's never going to be resolved!!</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> Then I'm not leaving.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> You…?</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> If I spend my life fixing this mess, that's a perfectly good life. Meeting these people, and helping. It's fulfilling, cathartic.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> Is that what we are to-</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> Sir. You can't tell me anything I haven't told myself. I've let down my people so much. They transferred me to Site-122 from <em>Site-19</em>. Because I wasn't enough, because I let my team down in the eleventh hour. Please.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> Why is this about you now?</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> It's not. Site-122, we were your captors. We didn't create the Locked Scenario, but we didn't help you. And I'm at fault. Because of our failings, we let you all down. We abused you, kept you happy and content so it never got worse.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> Then we got out.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> Then you got out.</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> It <em>is</em> nice to meet you. It. It really is.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> Likewise. I've heard lovely things.</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> Will we ever be…</p>
<p><em>(Silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> Will it be okay?</p>
<p><strong>Thompson:</strong> ….I don't think so. That's a scar, it runs so deep. But it doesn't have to be okay, because <em>you're</em> going to be okay. It's bad now. It'll always be bad. But if life was always happiness, we'd grow numb.</p>
<p><strong>Hamilton:</strong> That's… That's a fascinating… That's fascinating.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8833 is contained within a secure anomalous item locker at Site-81. Access to SCP-8833 is restricted to members of the SCP-8833 research team and any approved testing personnel.</p>
<p>Research into SCP-8833 is ongoing; the anomaly's relationship with other extant anomalous phenomena is not currently understood. Foundation webcrawlers are to monitor web traffic for information pertaining to paranormal events occuring in the spring of 1976, as well as any information pertaining to Kirk Lonwood High School or the town of Ephyra, Indiana.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8833 is a copy of the 1976 edition Kirk Lonwood High School yearbook, previously belonging to student Carolyn Kirk. The yearbook shows mild wear and use indicative of its age. The front cover of the SCP-8833 shows a three arrow design, with the words "Reflections of '76" near the center of the page, and "KLHS / 1976" in the bottom right corner. The back of SCP-8833 is blank, save for a small amount of charring along the spine. An inscription inside the back cover reads:</p>
<p><em>We've had a great year, haven't we? Don't worry about waiting for the reunion, I'm sure we'll see each other soon enough. Lots of love, from all of your best friends.</em></p>
<p>The previous owner's first name, written in her own handwriting, is penned in the bottom right corner of the back cover.</p>
<p>Individuals who read SCP-8833 invariably begin to sympathize and, eventually, identify with the persons and events that it describes. This effect appears to be universal, and does not apply more or less strongly to individuals who were not alive in 1976. Persons who view SCP-8833 for an extended period of time will inevitably be able to produce specific details about persons or events described within SCP-8833 that themselves are not present within the yearbook, but are consistent with details given by other individuals exposed to SCP-8833.</p>

<div class="scp-image-caption">

</div>
</div>
<p>Over a long enough period of time, persons exposed to SCP-8833 will begin to dissociate from their own experiences, and insist that they were a student at Kirk Lonwood High School in 1976. Multiple persons who have been exposed to SCP-8833, if exposed to each other, will display at least a casual familiarity with each other, though they will be unable to recall specifics about the other individual. In almost all cases, persons in this situation will feel confident that they have met, but when pushed on the subject will grow increasingly frustrated and explain that their lapse in memory is the result of so much time having passed since the spring of 1976.</p>
<p>While persons exposed to SCP-8833 will at first display a nostalgic appreciation for the yearbook and a desire to read it further, eventually these persons will undergo a stark transition in their behaviour towards the artifact. These persons will begin to express a general sense of dread in reference to SCP-8833, and will resist any attempts by staff personnel to expose them to the yearbook further. More information about this behaviour is available in Addendum 8833.3 below.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8833.1:</strong> Background and Discovery</p>
<p>SCP-8833 is one of a small group of items recovered from the burned ruins of Kirk Lonwood High School in Ephyra, Indiana, USA. At the time of its destruction, the school had a total student body of 322 students and 36 faculty. After the fire that destroyed Kirk Lonwood HS, the remaining students were incorporated into the larger Brazil High School in Brazil, Indiana, which was itself later incorporated into Northview High School in the same city.</p>
<p>The fire that destroyed Kirk Lonwood High School coincided with the disappearance of nearly all of the school's sixty-two person senior class, many of whom were on a class field trip elsewhere in the state at the time. Both events were the subject of an investigation by the Indiana State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Special Crimes Division<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> when multiple students were reported as missing in the wake of the fire. The events leading to the fire at the school and the disappearance of the students were partially obfuscated as part of a cover-up involving the Ephyra Chief of Police, whose son was eventually found responsible for the fire.</p>
<p>The full report is available by request from the Foundation Recordkeeping and Information Security Administration (RAISA). A summary of those events, published in the original report by Agent Daniel Akery of the FBI, is available below:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<h3 id="toc0"><span>Case #110449</span></h3>
<hr/>
<p>On the evening of May 27th, 1976, Cotter Parsons (age 18) (youngest son of Ephyra Chief of Police Cal Parsons), Dale Briggs (age 17) and Sam "Wally" Wallerman (age 17) drove into Ephyra and stopped at the Quik-Stop gas station on CR 100 E to fill up a can of gasoline and purchase a pack of Marlboro Red 100s and three dozen eggs. Afterwards, the group continued on to Kirk Lonwood High School, where the graduation proceedings had been set up in the field behind the school in preparation for the following day's event.</p>
<p>The presumed intention of the group was to burn a crude phrase into the grass of the field to interrupt the 1976 class graduation ceremony, of which Cotter Parsons would not have attended due to failing grades. The group likely intended for the school to be unoccupied, and was surprised to find a single car in the parking lot.</p>

<div class="scp-image-caption">

</div>
</div>
<p>According to Mr. Wallerman, this car belonged to Carolyn Kirk, a senior student at Kirk Lonwood. Eager to get back to drinking alcohol at the nearby hunting shed near the Parsons home that the group frequented, Mr. Parsons disregarded the concerns of the others and began spreading the gasoline, and then lighting it upon completion. At this time, Mr. Briggs reports seeing Ms. Kirk leaving the high school building and heading towards her car, carrying a small stack of books. Afraid of being seen and reported, the group began to chase Ms. Kirk, who fled back into the school.</p>
<p>While considering their next plan of action, the group did not notice that the fire set by Mr. Parsons had grown out of control, fueled by the remaining gasoline in the fuel canister, the wind, and the unusually dry weather over the previous month. The fire burned close to the Fine Arts wing of the school and the gymnasium before eventually catching the wooden siding of the latter structure. Mr. Wallerman reports running into the school briefly to look for Ms. Kirk, but fleeing from the gathering smoke inside the structure and following Mr. Briggs and Mr. Parsons into the nearby woods.</p>
<p>The Ephyra Fire Brigade was alerted to the fire at 10:19PM local time, roughly twelve minutes after Mr. Briggs reports leaving the scene. Upon arriving, trucks #4 and #3 discovered the entire structure fully engulfed by the fire, which continued to burn until 6:23AM the following morning.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>Chief of Police Cal Parsons initially speculated that the fire was caused by an electrical fault in an outdoor storage shed, but further investigation noted that the clearest ignition point was in the field on the east side of the school building, and not the storage shed to the south. Additionally, it was later discovered that Chief Parsons and Lieutenant Greg Chambers had suppressed evidence that connected Cotter Parsons to the fire - specifically, testimony from Quik-Stop attendant Arnie Mack that placed the three men at a location between the Parsons home and the school and that also included their purchases, and additional testimony from three local middle school students who saw Parsons' vehicle leaving down an adjacent road at a high rate of speed, minutes before the fire brigade came onto the scene.</p>
<p>The investigation into the fire was further impeded by the search for the now missing Carolyn Kirk, whose family confirmed she had been at the school finishing her application to Purdue University using the Kirk Lonwood school's library typewriter. Her car was discovered in the school parking lot, leading investigators to assume she had been at the school at the time of the fire, but no evidence of her remains were ever found within the ruins of the building.</p>
<p>A crew of forensic investigators later discovered the charred remains of her bookbag<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> within the home of Cal Parsons, along with several other items pulled from the ruins of Kirk Lonwood. It was the discovery of these items, as well as an unusual interview with the Chief of Police, that prompted intervention by the local office of the Special Crimes Division.</p>

<p><strong>Video Transcript</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Akery:</strong> Mr. Parsons, my name is Detective Akery, this is Detective Jones, we're with the FBI. We were hoping you could answer some questions we had about the fire at Kirk Lonwood and your investigation of it.</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> The fire. Oh yes. Yes, I know.</p>
<p><strong>Jones:</strong> Can you tell us more about what you think caused the fire?</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> There is a storage shed there, near the building. Probably faulty wiring, an electrical issue, a can of gas they were keeping in the shed. Really just a matter of time.</p>
<p><strong>Jones:</strong> And you feel confident about this?</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> Of course. I mean, come on now boys. You think this is my first investigation? Between you and me, I don't know why they sent you out here. This one is pretty open and shut.</p>
<p><strong>Akery:</strong> Let's take a step back. On the night of the fire, after it had burnt out, who all had access to the site?</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> My department and I, obviously. Chief Baker with the fire department, I would presume. But the only folks who spent much time there were my investigators.</p>
<p><strong>Akery:</strong> And you, correct?</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> Well, sure. I was overseeing the investigators.</p>
<p><strong>Jones:</strong> One of our contacts mentioned that you've handled all the gathered evidence personally, is that correct?</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> You mean as part of my investigation? Yes, of course. Am I being accused of something?</p>
<p><strong>Akery:</strong> We're not accusing you, or anyone else, of anything, Mr. Parsons. We're just here to get to the bottom of this mess. So you've had your hands on that evidence, and it's all being kept at the police station now?</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> I imagine it is.</p>
<p><strong>Akery:</strong> In an evidence locker?</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> That's typically where we keep evidence, yes.</p>
<p><strong>Akery:</strong> Sure, sure. I just, you have to understand my confusion. When Agent Jones went by the station earlier today to inquire about that evidence, the story we got was a little different. We were told that your evidence locker was full, and that the recovered items had all been shipped over to Brazil and were being kept in their locker.</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> Clearly they're misrepresenting the situation, we-</p>
<p><strong>Jones:</strong> He was very clear, Mr. Parsons, which made it all the more confusing when I asked the Brazil station the same question. They were also <em>very</em> clear that the evidence was still here in Ephyra, and that they hadn't seen it. So when I come back, suddenly that evidence hadn't been shipped to Brazil like I was originally told - now it's being processed by some third party investigator? Someone I'd never heard of?</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> Look, if we can just-</p>
<p><strong>Akery:</strong> Enough with the bullshit, Cal. A major fire has just occurred and a student is missing. You clearly have sequestered the evidence away somewhere, and we need to know where it is.</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> I assure you, no students are missing. Everyone is just fine, we're all just fine.</p>
<p><strong>Jones:</strong> (<em>Pauses</em>) What?</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> Excuse me?</p>
<p><strong>Akery:</strong> You said no students are missing. Carolyn Kirk, the student whose parents said was at the school the night of the fire, she is missing. <em>You</em> posted her missing persons report.</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> No, you're mistaken. She's not missing. She's still here, we're all here. (<em>Pauses</em>) We're all… huh.</p>
<p><strong>Jones:</strong> Mr. Parsons?</p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> It's just strange. (<em>Pauses</em>) But she's fine, she's fine, we're all fine. We're all together. Listen, you boys have clearly put a lot of thought into this, and I really appreciate the thought, but we're all going to be just fine. We're all fine. Graduation is tomorrow, after all, and we need to just put this behind us and get ready for the summer.</p>
<p><strong>Akery:</strong> I… uh…</p>
<p><strong>Jones:</strong> Mr. Parsons, the date of Kirk Lonwood's graduation was two weeks ago. What are you talking about?</p>
<p><em>Parsons looks up and behind the two agents, and nods. After a moment, he looks back at them both and smiles.</em></p>
<p><strong>Parsons:</strong> We're fine, boys. We'll be whole again. Don't you worry.</p>

<p>Shortly after the date of the Kirk Lonwood fire, Special Crimes also began investigating the mysterious disappearance of the █████-████ persons (█████-████ members of Kirk Lonwood's Class of '76 and ███ other individuals) who did not return from a class trip to Lake ███████████ in ████████ County. The last known sighting of any member of this group was ████ █████ who was seen with ███ ████████ and ██████ ███████ near a roadside convenience store in ████████ Indiana, roughly a fifteen minute drive from Lake ███████████. Investigation into this matter was inconclusive; while ███ ████████ ████████ ██ simply vanish, it is now believed that ███ ██████████ ████ ████ testing grounds ████████ ██ floating bodies ██ █████-████████████ ritual ██████ ██ taken to ███ ██ ████ ██████ drawn in by ██████████. Regardless, no ███████ ███████████ is forthcoming.</p>
<p>How this incident, especially regarding the ██ missing members of the ████████ ████ is connected to the ███████ ████████ Corporation is currently unknown, though the ███ █████████ ███ is believed to be involved.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup></p>
<p>Despite this, █████ █████ individuals remain ███████████ ███: ████ ███████, ███ ███████████, and ██████ Lee.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>The investigation into the Kirk Lonwood fire came to a halt for three weeks afterwards. It would not be resolved until June 21st, when the body of Cotter Parsons would be discovered in his father's hunting shed, both having been set on fire and burned. Parsons' vehicle was found outside the shed, with a suicide note left on the floor of the front passenger side seat. Evidence at the scene suggests that Cotter Parsons drove his vehicle to the shed, smoked six cigarettes while sitting in his vehicle, then exited the vehicle and entered the shed, locking the door behind him as he did. The source of the fire is still unknown.</p>
<p>Of note were a second set of tire marks leading to the shed. The source of these tire tracks are likewise unknown.</p>
<p>Shortly after the presumed suicide of Cotter Parsons, both Mr. Wallerman and Mr. Briggs confessed to their part in the events of May 27th, 1976, and offered the details presented within this report. Neither individual reported having spoken with Mr. Parsons in the time since the night of the event, when Parsons demanded they both stay quiet to avoid arousing any suspicion.</p>
<p>The full text of Mr. Parsons' suicide note is included below.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>just wanted to say sorry for the fire. i did not mean it. got scared and dad didnt know so it was my fault. i am sorry.</p>
<p>keep having a nightmare where i'm at school and everybody is there. only a few of us left. i think i should be there and not here.</p>
<p>mom i am sorry i didn't do any of it right. you tried hard and you did your best but i think i was just bad. pa i am sorry for the trouble. i didnt mean none of it but i love you.</p>
<p>time to go. will be nice to see everybody again.</p>
<p>love you</p>

<p>FBI records indicate the body of Carolyn Kirk was never found. An extensive regimen of memory-altering substances was administered to the civilian population of Ephyra in late 1976 after a number of unexplained phenomena were reported in the immediate area (see Addendum 8833.5 for more details). In early 1981, after a string of violent and public suicides in Ephyra, the remaining population was moved to other communities within Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. The stretch of CR 100 E that previously led to Kirk Lonwood High School was torn up, as was the school's foundation.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8833.2:</strong> SCP-8833 and Items Recovered from the 1976 Kirk Lonwood Fire</p>
<p>Foundation assets embedded within the UIU became aware of SCP-8833 shortly after its discovery when the first report filed by the Special Crimes Division was circulated.

<p><strong>Addendum 8833.3:</strong> SCP-8833 Exposure Testing</p>
<p>The following are transcripts of exposure tests performed with a human test subject and SCP-8833. The tests were conducted over the course of six weeks, with the subject (D-18831) allowed free access to SCP-8833 during this time. D-18831 met with a staff psychologist twice weekly to discuss their experience.</p>
<p>The test subject, D-18831, was a Cuban-American female, age 42, with no history of excessive violence or hostility. D-18831 was alive in 1976, but was only a child, having been born in 1967. Additionally, D-18831 did not attend a high school.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Clara, good afternoon. My name is Rebecca Gemm, I'm the doctor overseeing this study.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> Hello, nice to meet you.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> I was looking at your baselines, looks like everything is normal. I know you've had a few minutes to look at the yearbook; what do you think about it so far?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> You want me to be honest?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Please.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> I mean, I guess I'm glad it's just a book, you know? Like, I heard in the cafeteria you've got all kinds of fucked up stuff in here. Monsters and stuff. I was spooked pretty bad, but this isn't so bad.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> What do you think about the people in the yearbook?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> I don't know… they seem fine? Like, they don't seem weird. Just a bunch of old white people. I don't even know where this is.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> The school?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> No, Indiana. Is that in the states?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> It is.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> Oh, ok. (<em>Pauses</em>) Just a little weird.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> What's weird?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> I dunno. Just weird. Flipping through here I keep seeing people I think I recognize, but I don't. I don't know why I keep getting that feeling. (<em>Pauses, flipping absently through the pages of SCP-8833</em>) Weird. It's nothing.</p>

<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> I don't know if I said <em>unusual</em>. But they asked about dreams and I said I had one the other night.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> What can you tell me about it? Can you remember it?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> Yeah, like, really well. I guess that's unusual.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Tell me about it.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> Well, in the dream I start… actually, I don't know where I start. I'm in the fog, and I'm walking through it, but it feels like I'm underwater. I come to this, I guess it's a door, and step through it and I'm in a hallway. It all feels so <em>familiar</em>, like I've been here before. I'm wandering around, but it feels like I know exactly where I'm going, and I start seeing my friends, or, uh-</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Is everything alright?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> Yeah, they just… they're my friends, I <em>know</em> they are, like, I know it in my gut. I can <em>feel</em> it. But I don't know if I've met them before, right? We talk about boys, and movies, and Dean's party… but then I wake up, and I'm here.</p>
<p>(<em>Pause</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Are you alright?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> Yeah. (<em>Pauses</em>) Sorry. Just remembered something, is all.</p>

<hr/>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Good morning Clara. Dr. Pastor said you had something new you wanted to talk about.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> Yeah, hey, thanks. I'm… let me think for a second.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Are you alright? You look exhausted.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> Not sleeping real well. The dreams are getting stronger, wake up and I feel like I haven't slept at all. Just been running, man.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Running from what?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> In the dream - I mean, it's all kind of the same. There's water, and the door, and the hallway, but something is changing. We're… sorry, <em>they're</em> not standing in the halls anymore, talking, and the halls are… like they're burning, but there's no fire. Just ash and stuff. I go down the stairs, and they're all in the front by the door, I know it's the main door cause like… (<em>trails off</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Like what?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> I don't know how to tell you this, and I think I'm going crazy 'cause I know it sounds crazy to me too, but I know I went to this fuckin' school man. Like I had class here, I took history and English and was on the fuckin' cheer squad. So this door, I know it's the front door 'cause I've walked through it a thousand times. I can tell you where the finish on the door handle is worn from so many people touchin' it, and I know the places where kids have carved their names into the doorframe. I <em>know</em> it, man. Not think, <em>know</em>. I went to school here. I've got other memories of being younger and going to school but I don't think they're real, like, I don't think the people I thought were my friends and family were real. I think they're some kind of… I don't know, don't you guys fuck with peoples' memory? I think the yearbook like, it's helping me remember, man. I can remember being there, clear as day. I went to this school. I graduated in nineteen-seventy- (<em>trails off, becomes distant</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> What is it?</p>
<p><em>No response.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Clara?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> It's the year we were supposed to graduate. That's why the door is locked. They're all pushed up against it and there are arms pushing on arms, and I hear voices in the crowd. My own voice. We're trying to get out, but the door is locked. There's ash and smoke in the air and the water is coming up around them, and a girl turns to face me. She's… blackened. Parts of her are missing. Her eyes aren't there, but I know she sees me, and I think she's crying, but then the water comes up. The door is locked. (<em>Pauses</em>) There's someone on the other side of the door. Someone in a suit. That's why the door is locked.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Clara, can you hear me?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> (<em>Muttering</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Clara?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> You… do you…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Clara, I'm sorry, you'll need to speak up.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> Gemm. Doctor Gemm.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Yes, Clara. I'm right here.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> It's funny, doctor. I had a dream I knew you once.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> You do know me. We've known each other for weeks.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> (<em>No response</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> Clara?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> When we die, what do you think gets left behind? Is it just bones? Or is there some other part of us that lingers a little longer?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> I can't say I know.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> I think it's something else.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> What do you think it is?</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> The memory of a thing. Once you're gone all that's left is dust accumulating in a coffin and the memory of the thing you used to be. I think those memories are very real. I think those memories remember us, too.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gemm:</strong> They're just memories, Clara. They can't hurt you.</p>
<p><strong>D-18831:</strong> Can't they?</p>

<p><em>In the early morning of the 36th day of evaluation, Site-81 security was alerted to a tripped smoke alarm in D-18831's observation cell (which, at that time, also contained SCP-8833), and dispatched fire response teams. Upon arriving at the observation cell, fire response found the cell fully engulfed in flames. Despite utilizing a variety of fire suppression systems, the teams involved were unable to bring the fire under control, which continued to burn unabated for forty-seven minutes, after which the fire quickly diminished.</em></p>
<p><em>Post-incident investigation of the fire revealed no obvious source of ignition, or fuel required to sustain a fire of such significant magnitude. The entire observation cell was dismantled, as were six adjoining cells<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> - nothing resembling human remains were ever located within the observation cell or the area around it.</em></p>
<p><em>SCP-8833 was removed, undamaged, from the observation cell after the fire. A single partially burned photograph was discovered within the yearbook, between the last page and the back cover. A line of text written on the reverse of the photograph reads "we'll all be together soon"</em>.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 8833.5:</strong> Affected Persons Interviews</p>
<p>The following are collected segments of interviews conducted by FBI agents prior to the evacuation of the civilian population from Ephyra, Indiana, following the Kirk Lonwood fire.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Agent Davies:</strong> Tell me what you saw.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Pendleton:</strong><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> It was Will<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup>, I know it was. He came into the house about two hours ago, and sat down right over there at the table. I jumped up when he came in but I couldnt go into the room, it was like I was stuck here in the hall. I just kept saying "Will, Will, where have you been? Where'd you all go?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Davies:</strong> Did your son say anything to you?</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Pendleton:</strong> He said "do you still recognize me dad", but he wouldn't look up at me, and I couldn't get a good look at him. I told him yes of course I did, and he asked it again, just like that. "Do you still recognize me."</p>
<p><strong>Agent Davies:</strong> What happened then?</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Pendleton:</strong> He got up, and just sort of… glided across the floor, to the door, and then went through it. Didn't open it up, just went through it. I stood there like a damn fool until he was gone, but by the time I got to the other door there wasn't no sign of him left.</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Agent White:</strong> When were you at Moore's Grocery?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Tillman:</strong><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup> We were there yesterday, about two in the afternoon.</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Patrick:</strong><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup> We had just gone to get eggs, for the first responders' potluck.</p>
<p><strong>Agent White:</strong> And what did you witness?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Patrick:</strong> Well, you know the big sign in front of Moore's, up on the pole out front the building?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Tillman:</strong> Some children had climbed up there, we could see them from the street when we pulled up, and they were looking at something down on the ground. I couldn't make out their faces, but some of them were wearing jackets those children at the school wear.</p>
<p><strong>Agent White:</strong> Did you see what they were looking at?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Patrick:</strong> We did, I- I did, we…</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Tillman:</strong> No, it's alright. I saw it too.</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Patrick:</strong> It was a man, or at least, I think it was. He was about your height, maybe a little taller. Wore a black suit, black hair. Might have been wearing glasses. He was looking back at them, and… he had this… I don't even know how you'd describe it…</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Tillman:</strong> It was like a television camera, mounted on some kind of stand on the ground, and he was adjusting it, and pointing it at them. He'd twist this knob, and look up at them, and they'd be on fire, and screaming, but it wasn't a sound… wasn't a sound people make. It was wrong, the whole thing was wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Agent White:</strong> Did you approach the man?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Patrick:</strong> No, he… something about him was wrong too. Looking at him was like looking at something far away, made my head swim. I think it was his camera, there was something inside it that…</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Tillman:</strong> When they had the funeral for that girl, the one who died in the fire, it was like that. They didn't open the casket, but there was something about it where you knew that… that whatever was in it, it wasn't right. I didn't say anything at the time, it would've been rude. Her poor parents…</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Patrick:</strong> But she's right, it was just like that. I've always believed in a higher power, officer, and I've prayed to God my whole life. Whatever was in that coffin, and whatever that man was doing with his camera, it wasn't right. When I looked at it, I could feel… <em>Lord help me</em> it was like I had hands on me. All over me.</p>
<p><strong>Agent White:</strong> Hands?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Patrick:</strong> I know it sounds silly, but that's what it was. We ran into the store to tell someone, and when we came back he wasn't there anymore, and his car was gone.</p>
<p><strong>Agent White:</strong> And the children on top of the sign?</p>
<p>(<em>Silence.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Agent White:</strong> What about the children on top of the sign?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Tillman:</strong> What children?</p>

<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> Mr.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-9" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-9')">9</a></sup> and Mrs. Kirk, I want to thank you for taking some time to sit down with me. I won't pretend to understand what you're going through, I just want to try to make sense of all of this.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Kirk:</strong> It's alright. I'm sorry we took so long to get back to you, we just…</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> It's alright, of course. This is going to sound strange, but I need to ask you about your daughter's yearbook.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Kirk:</strong> Carolyn's… yearbook?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> Yes. As you know, it was one of the items that managed to survive the fire, and… well, we've just noted some inconsistencies with it. Do you know if she had said anything about it, mentioned anything unusual?</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Kirk:</strong> Unusual? No, I mean… no, nothing unusual. It's just a yearbook, she… I guess she had it with her most times, kept it in her bag. The kids, you know, they'd all get them signed and… and she was trying to get hers signed by her friends.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> Have you seen it yourself? Recently, I mean, had you looked at it yourself?</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Kirk:</strong> No, it's not… it's her <em>yearbook</em>, it's not… it's not something I'd have wanted to… (<em>to Mrs. Kirk</em>) do you…?</p>
<p>(<em>Mrs. Kirk shakes her head. She is unable to speak.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> What about her friends? Was there anyone strange she had started seeing recently?</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Kirk:</strong> No, she… she had plenty of friends, and they all mostly kept to themselves. I hadn't seen anyone… strange. What's all this about?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> I just want to know if there was anyone else who could have gotten their hands on that yearbook between the time she got it and the night of the incident.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Kirk:</strong> Absolutely not, she kept it in her bag all the time, and she never-</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Kirk:</strong> I could… I could use some water.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Kirk:</strong> Yes, I can - one moment, Mr. Akery.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> It's no problem.</p>
<p>(<em>Mr. Kirk leaves the room.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Kirk:</strong> There… there was a man.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> Pardon?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Kirk:</strong> The yearbook. Carolyn's yearbook didn't come in with the others, so they… they sent off for another. A man delivered it, a man in a black suit. He came to the house, and it was just me here alone, and he… he gave me the yearbook, told me to give it to her.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> Did he give you his name?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Kirk:</strong> No, he just… he said he was from… I don't know, some organization, and said he had been asked to give it to her directly. He was upset she wasn't here.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> What else did he say to you?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Kirk:</strong> He made me… made me swear to give it to her, and not tell anyone he had been here, or he'd… he'd do something to me. When he spoke, he… his voice sounded funny, and his mouth moved… strangely. I… I felt like I had to do it, so I gave it to her. She was so excited to have it.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> Did you ever see him again?</p>
<p><strong>Mrs. Kirk:</strong> I didn't, no… do you think he… was that… did she die because of me?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> I don't think-</p>
<p>(<em>Mr. Kirk reenters the room with a glass of water</em>)</p>
<p><strong>Agent Akery:</strong> Let's talk about something else.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>RAISA Note:</strong> Thorough investigation of census records and personnel testimony gathered by Foundation assets have been unable to prove that Mrs. Kirk was alive in 1976, in spite of the information provided in this transcript. Death certificate records indicate that Carolyn Kirk's mother, Anna Kirk, died of natural causes in 1959, shortly after Carolyn's birth.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Addendum 8833.6:</strong> Lead Investigator's Note</p>
<p>This record was kept alongside others within the same file at the FBI, written by Special Agent Daniel Akery.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>I refuse to believe it was an accident - the fire, the lake, all of it. There were too many open leads that were never resolved for it to just be a coincidence. I think when Cotter Parsons lit that can of gas he was unknowingly tripping the catalyst to something that had been set up for a long, long time. Too many faces we didn't recognize showed up in town afterwards, too many eyes on a town that God and man had forgotten a long time ago.</p>
<p>What we experienced in the weeks following the Kirk Lonwood fire was unlike any other case I've ever worked before. Between the fire, and the loss of those kids on their class trip, a sucking hole formed in the heart of that community that could not be fixed. It was as if someone had put a bolt rifle to their psyche and pulled the trigger, and the absence that was left over was more than just toxic - it was malicious. An agony that demanded more and more until it broke them, and us.</p>
<p>I worked a case once, where something terrible had happened in a house and the house had started to hate its inhabitants. It was a hard case to work, and the question of "how much hate can build up in a place before it starts hating you back" is a question that I still wonder to this day. But as to the question of how much a place can know despair before it <em>becomes</em> despair, this I don't need to wonder. I have seen it. I was nearly swallowed by it.</p>
<p>We lost people in the weeks after the Kirk Lonwood fire. Not just residents, but our own agents too. I've never really spoken about it - and not that there would be anyone to hear it anymore - but I saw Patterson and Bales leave our motel one night and just disappear. Brass chalked it up to them losing their nerve, but I could have sworn to you that I saw two man-shaped black things blowing in the trees for a week afterwards. Whenever I looked at them I felt a gripping in my chest, like there was another person standing right behind me that I couldn't move to see. A few days later those were gone too. There was a lot of that happening back then, and men in suits watching us the whole time.</p>
<p>All this to say, what happened that summer is not something that this file is going to be able to accurately convey. In the months after the evacuation they got in there and tore up the roads, turned over the foundations and torched it from every map they could get their hands on, and even after all those attempts to wipe this place clean there's still a real, festering dread that we could not make to go away. Maybe they didn't want it to go away.</p>
<p>As a final note, since it's understood by now that this will be the last case I work on before I retire, I want to admit to breaking departmental protocol. Six weeks ago I woke up one night and just started driving; I had been at the field office in Cincinnati but I just felt compelled to drive, and I drove for three hours. The time passed slowly, like I was moving through water, and the radio just played the same song on a loop the entire time. I think I was conscious that I was being affected by something, but it didn't matter to me while I was there - there was something at the end of the road I needed to see.</p>
<p>I stopped at the barricade they put up, where the road ends, and just started walking. A lot of it is overgrown now, mostly just woods and fields, but I got past the last group of trees and saw it, clearly under the light of the moon. Kirk Lonwood High School, untouched by fire or time or anything else, like nothing had never happened. The front door was open and a queer light was shining through, and in a way that I can't really describe it made me feel a terrible longing. There was a figure silhouetted in the doorway, a girl. I waved at her, and she waved back. I stood there for hours, and as the first light of the sun crept up over the treeline I blinked and it was gone, and I was standing alone in that field.</p>
<p>They threw us a little party afterwards, when we turned in our reports. Champagne and everything, gold watches, every little material pittance to juice us up. Told us we did a great job, that it was a hard case and that what we had accomplished was nothing short of a miracle. Said we had saved lives. Said they were happy that we could put this all behind us. It was all bullshit, obviously - whatever we did to bury this thing, whatever the spooks at the head office claimed would be enough to cover it all up, it wasn't enough.</p>
<p>Their bodies aren't buried. They're somewhere else.</p>

<p><strong>Threat Class:</strong> <span style="font-size:120%;"><span style="color: red"><tt><strong>HIGH RED</strong></tt></span></span></p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8842 is a Wotanic rune-magic cultivation ritual and directed energy eigenweapon prototype (codenamed "<em>Sonnenteufel</em>" or "S.T.") first developed by the Obskurakorps in 1942, as part of Nazi Germany's <em>Wunderwaffe</em> program. As best as can be ascertained from embedded moles,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> SCP-8842 utilizes at least nine conscious "Aryan" men of middling-to-strong constitution ("the subjects"), whom undergo a 3-6 week priming program of mantras and yoga; targeted bombardment of specific aural, visual, and aromal stimuli; multiple rounds of trepanation and scarification; sleep deprivation regimens enhanced with barbiturates and amphetamines; and ritualized, violent sexual acts; all meant to stimulate the pineal gland and energy centers of the subjects. Upon each of the subjects' chests is etched an Armanen rune, such that when prostrate their bodies form a simplified World-Rune-Clock.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup></p>
<div class="clip-wrap" style="padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;">
<div class="clip-body" style="float:right; width:40%;"><img alt="sigil.png" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-8842/sigil.png"/><br/>
Rune-Clock and sigil formed by wire linkage, each subject's position indicated by assigned rune.</div>
</div>
<p>Prior to activation, the subjects prostrate themselves in a circle upon thatch mats. Beryllium bronze wire is then inserted and anchored into the trepanned hole of each subject, and woven to connect the subjects together in an enneagrammatical sigil. The subjects are then placed in a semi-permanent fugue state by a simultaneous partial lobotomy and controlled overdose of amphetamines. The subjects are then compelled through memetic conditioning to repeat their mantras until the trigger phrase is given, and the array is activated.</p>
<p>An array of Shangrilite blue sapphire lenses and mirrors is positioned between the subjects — equipped with mechanical motors and actuators — and is controlled by a mundane gunner, aided by a mechanical computer and optical sighting system for targeting purposes.</p>
<p>Upon activation, a focused beam of high-intensity, low-frequency radiation (hypothetical maximum output of ~180 megawatts)<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> is generated in the center of the circle, which may be directed either directly upwards or downwards through minor electrical stimulation of the subjects. Further adjustment to the beam may be made by the lens-array gunner to allow for wide range of motion (depression range of -15 to -165 degrees when mounted in an aircraft). The array has a potential lifespan of several months if properly managed and fed, and possesses the capacity for six hours of continuous maximum output before the subjects undergo brain death and necessitate replacement.</p>

The entire assembly is light enough to be used as a train- or troop-based mobile anti-aircraft/-armor emplacement, and is compact enough to fit inside of the modified bomb bay of a Heinkel He 177 <em>Greif</em>, Horten Ho 229<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> or <em><a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/whats-going-down">Luftplatte</a></em>-B for strategic bombing runs, specializing in destroying vulnerable critical wartime infrastructure like dams, factories, chemical plants, and ammunition depots.
<p>Based on weather conditions, relative height of target and beam compared to sea-level, and estimated focal length of the beam, it is possible that SCP-8842 could damage targets in excess of 700 kilometers away, even able to reach objects in low orbit around the Earth. The actual range is significantly curtailed to <60 kilometers (<37 miles) if mounted in a Ho 225, <35 kilometers (<20 miles) if ground-based. The design is primarily limited by the curvature of the earth, the accuracy and range of motion of the gunner, and general dispersion and attenuation of the beam as it travels. This effective range, while significantly reduced from its true potential, still far exceeds the range of all conventional arms, both Allied and Axis.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup></p>

<p>SCP-8842 is primarily the brain-child of German scientist Franz Hoffenreich, antiquarian and former German diplomat to China. Hoffenreich is a member of the Order of the New Templars — an ethno-nationalist and Nazi-adjacent secret society — and follower of Ariosophic thought-leader Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels. Liebenfels is a racial theorist and politician primarily known for his publication, <em>Theozoölogie oder die Kunde von den Sodoms-Äfflingen und dem Götter-Elektron</em>, or <em>Theozoology, or the Science of the Sodomite-Apelings and the Divine Electron</em>, in which he theorizes that the Aryan race descends from a star-bound electricity-based organism called Theozoa, among other claims.</p>

<tt>Franz Hoffenreich</tt></div>
</div>
<p>While Ariosophism has been officially banned in Nazi Germany due to claims of it being too schismatic from Himmler's preferred esotericism, it has attracted an underground following among many high-ranking Obskurakorps and Schutzstaffel personnel. The adherents gather in secret in Liebenfels' Castle Werfenstein, which has quickly become one of the most heavily warded fortifications in Central Europe, and has also become a testing ground for both new recruits and many of Obskurakorps' eigenweapon candidates.</p>
<p>Hoffenreich has expounded upon Liebenfels' theories, hypothesizing that the Aryan body possesses a life force of far greater potency and electrical energy density than the "lesser races" due to its interstellar ancestry, calculating a potential power draw maximum of 20 megawatts under the right physical and psychological conditions.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> He has been able to put his beliefs into practice within Obskurakorps, and has produced several paranatural weapons based off of his theories, including SCP-8842, that could be devastating if they are allowed to enter active service.</p>
<p>Due to his importance to the war effort, the Obskurakorps has afforded the maximum protection to him under their abilities, including a <em>Falschfleisch</em> bodyguard, <em>Sündenbock</em> totems, and an unknown number of other thaumaturgical protections collectively ensuring his physical, psychical, and spiritual safety.</p>
<p>In the event that SCP-8842 is ever deployed in combat, the lack of physical ammunition and the associated weight would significantly increase the Luftwaffe's offensive power by vastly increasing the possible range, duration, and damage potential of offensive raids with a reduced need to restock or refuel between sorties. A beam of that power would be able to melt through even the most reinforced concrete and steel, and would be able to destroy dams, bunkers, vehicles, and other hardened structures. Allied forces would have few mundane counters to regular field use of SCP-8842, and the very existence of this technology threatens to strangle our newborn Veil in its cradle. <strong>This must not come to pass.</strong></p>
<p>Fortunately, there have been several snags in the S.T. project so far. First, due to American blockades and the termination of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Germany's access to beryllium bronze have been significantly curtailed, as the vast majority of its stockpiles of beryllium were acquired through either access to Soviet mines in Kazakhstan or through informal trade channels with the Mabbites of Axis-aligned Agarttha. This critical lack of beryllium means that Germany is unable to realize production of <em>Sonnenteufelen</em> at scale. As such, Germany has focused on reopening Mekhanite beryllium mines in Libya to circumvent the supply shortage, though their progress has been hampered by Allied-aligned Bedouin raids.</p>
<p>Second, and more importantly, the project is unable to reach the power output desired for the full scope of the project, reaching ~500 kilowatts at peak output, 350 times less than the desired result. Initially, Obskurakorps believed it was due to lack of quality control and hidden Jewish heritage in the subjects or sabotage, but were still unsuccessful after subsequent purges of their personnel. Now they are attempting to make up for the lack of desired output through a powerful psychic and thaumaturgical focus, one compatible with Wotanism or sun-worship that may act as a capacitor for SCP-8842 and empower it to the proper specifications.</p>
<p>Therefore, Hoffenreich and other members of the New Templars have mounted an expedition to the Kingdom of Egypt to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">retrieve what we believe to be the body of the mad pharaoh Akhenaten, in its third and final resting place far beneath the Valley of the Kings</span>.</p>

<hr/>
<p>In order to maintain the Foundation's claim of neutrality, you will go undercover as PARACOM agent Jackie Rosales, Mexican lycanthropic specialist, weapons expert, and archeologist. Your partner is Joseph Placidus, Austrian thaumaturgist and member of the British Occult Service. You will rendezvous with him in Malta, and then travel on with him to Egypt, then onto the Theban Necropolis.</p>
<p>As Rommel still holds El Alamein and has eyes for Cairo, much of the Allies' attention and resources remain in Egypt's capital. As such, there will be little help able to be spared for you and your colleague once you arrive at your destination. You will be alone.</p>
<p>Hoffenreich's New Templars are skilled in combat both mundane and anomalous. Some have partaken in Faustian bargains to increase their prowess, and are to be considered highly dangerous. They may be identified by their use of the swastika and fleur de lys symbols, often tattooed onto their bodies. They will protect Hoffenreich with their very lives, and you will have to go through them to get to him. They believe they are on a mission from God. Dissuade them of their notions.</p>

<p><strong>DIRECTIVE:</strong> Capture Hoffenreich in the Valley of the Kings, before he can unleash the full power of SCP-8842. Hoffenreich is too valuable to be killed, and most likely is unable to be. Intercept or destroy the body of Akhenaten before it can be used in SCP-8842. Do not let the Obskurakorps expedition leave Egypt. Leave no witnesses. Retrieve any intel or anomalous technology that may prove to be worthy of study. Once you have completed your objectives, deliver Franz Hoffenreich to BOS agents waiting in Al Qusayr. Then, extract by boat to British Palestine, where a Foundation plane will be waiting for you.</p>
<p>While this mission has been issued with the full knowledge and consent of the O5 council, should you fail in your mission, or should you or your partner be captured or killed, the Foundation will disavow all knowledge and affiliation with you. The Foundation will sever all connection, retract all friendly hands. Our Sites will offer you no safety, and our personnel will give you no aid. All Task Forces will consider you an enemy of both the Foundation and the Veil, and will treat you accordingly. <strong>Do not fail</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Do your work in the dark so that we may live in the light.</span></p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8843</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8843 is limited to census and population data — all historical public-facing data has been retroactively corrected. No further action is needed at this time.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8843 is a statistical anomaly impacting global population data. All census data gathered after February 10th, 2019 has reported a 0.1-5% discrepancy between projections, simulations, and reported totals, such that the census data is inconsistent with birth, death, immigration, and emigration rates, as well as 2019 census data gathered before February 10th, 2019.</p>

<p>Dear Researchers at Site-43,</p>
<p>As an academically-inclined research site, the Foundation Department of Statistics wanted to ensure that the attached document was distributed, such that all relevant projects can be adjusted accordingly.</p>
This is just a statistical anomaly, and should not impact any unrelated fields; if you have additional questions, you may reach out to me directly.</div>

<p>As per request by Dr. Lillian Lillihammer, M&C Section Head at Site-43, SCP-8843's database file has been flagged for authenticity review. As a part of the Drygioni Protocol, the documentation is reviewed by independent researchers, such that a determination can be made. However, due to the minimal length, Dr. Lillihammer requested that additional data and reports be provided alongside the original document, for further review. The following personnel are assigned to assess this phenomena's documentation and associated materials:</p>

<p>Given the overall minimal variance and disparity in population totals, this has been deemed statistical in nature, and requires no further intervention by the SCP Foundation.</p>
<div class="dryg">
<p><strong>Garrison:</strong> Lillian, before I go and kill somebody, am I reading this data correctly?</p>
<div class="dryg inner">
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Heather, hold on — do you really think that the Foundation is going to write off the disappearance of so many minorities?</p>
<div class="dryg inner">
<p><strong>Garrison:</strong> Yes.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="dryg inner">
<p><strong>Garrison:</strong> Like genuinely, what the fuck is this anomaly? What argument could they possibly be making right now? Look at all of the evidence; they just ignored it so they could sand down the rough edges on the totals. They are genuinely saying that the disappearance of nearly 10 million minorities is "statistical in nature, and requires no further intervention"?</p>
<p>Did they investigate that? Did they check for other anomalies? Did they do <em>anything</em> other than typing numbers into a calculator, and determine an 'acceptable variance'? Did they even fucking try?</p>
<div class="dryg inner">
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Okay, let's assume for a second that they are wrong, and there's more to it than just a rounding error. How can you prove that any of this is connected to 'absence'? Why do <em>we</em> need to be the ones to fix anything here?</p>
<div class="dryg inner">
<p><strong>Garrison:</strong> Okay, let's review what we know about 'absence'. It's a conceptual entity that deals in perception, information and memories. More specifically, it:</p>
<ul>
<li>Can abstract, erase or otherwise remove individuals from the Noosphere;</li>
<li>Targets information that is irrelevant, unimportant, or neglected, regardless of how or why;</li>
<li>Is obsessed with me.</li>
</ul>
<p>The data tells us that, out of everybody in the entire country, the biggest demographic, the largest cultural norm has actually benefitted from this. Yes, once again, white people have benefitted from the disappearance of minorities. What a brand new situation.</p>
<p>And who are the ones most hurt by SCP-8843? The rest of us. The ones who cannot be categorized. The ones who are least relevant to the census. People who wouldn't be missed. People like us.</p>
<div class="dryg inner">
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Right. So if we know that 'absence' targets irrelevant information, and that can extend out to people and identities, then, what we're seeing isn't the manifestation of a statistical anomaly.</p>
<p>What we're seeing is a potential indication that the Noosphere itself is in danger. Think about it, Heath, we know that 'absence' feeds on information, and we know that it's ravenous. We thought that we had dealt with it, but if we hadn't, and it's still lurking, the Noosphere isn't just going to sit around and wait idly. It's going to do <em>something</em>. Self-preservation, no matter the cost.</p>
<p>So what if it starts to prioritize what it deems as relevant information? Some way of minimizing harm, risk reduction, a way to ensure that there is plenty of irrelevant information, while it can preserve the majority consensus, the ideas that are most prevalent, and therefore, the most 'important'.</p>
<p>What if the missing people are bait? A distraction? Something to keep 'absence' from going after more of the Noosphere, to stop it from erasing the majority?</p>
<div class="dryg inner">
<p><strong>Garrison:</strong> If we're right? If we're right about this, then we are the only ones who would have been able to anticipate this. We have to get to the bottom of this; nobody else <em>can</em>.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 150%; font-family: Montserrat">DRYGIONI PROTOCOL: INTERIM SUMMARY</span></p>
<p>Following review of the SCP-8843 file and associated addenda, Dr. Garrison and Dr. Lillihammer determined that there was insufficient evidence included to logically exclude other anomalous factors, such that the only remaining answer is a statistical anomaly. In fact, due to the minimal evidence provided, Dr. Garrison and Dr. Lillihammer have initiated an impromptu abnormal procedura—</p>
<p>Fuck it, this is scuffed as it is, it's not like me breaking clinical tone in this is going to mean anything. Basically, long story short, they gave us fuck-all and seemingly don't give a fuck about the people we are trying to save? So instead of letting this sit in arbitration and debate for a year, we're doing this differently.</p>
<p>This Drygioni Protocol is now a rolling review. Dr. Lillihammer and myself will be leading the investigative research into what was actually done here, and what is actively happening. This is more than just a few number problems; those numbers are <em>people</em>, and we're going to find out what the hell happened to them.</p>
<p>So, to rephrase it in clinical tone for all of you pearl-clutching 'traditional' researchers out there — Drygioni Protocol review will continue <em>ad nauseum</em>, until a determination on the validity of the conclusions can be made, as based on tangible evidence.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>SCP-8843 — Initial Drygioni Protocol Follow-Up Meeting:</strong> Following the determination that the Drygioni Protocol would continue, a meeting was scheduled between the investigative panel, and Dr. Gage Afters, Coordinator for the Department of Statistics.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> He's late.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Calm down. He won't give us any answers if you jump down his throat as soon as he joins.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I'm sorry, Lillian, but somebody who fucking says that the disappearance of millions of people is a fucki—</p>
<p><em>Dr. Afters joined the video call, and interrupts Heather.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> Sorry about that, I was having some camera problems. Can you hear me?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Lillihammer looks off screen and glares. Dr. Garrison narrows her eyes, before smiling.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Yep! Thanks for joining us.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> Hopefully this doesn't take too long, after all, it's just numbers, right?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Afters laughs, and then pauses. The call is silent for a number of seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Right. Should we get started?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Great idea ba— Dr. Lillihammer. <<em>Pause.</em>> Dr. Afters, have you read the SCP-8843 file?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> Ye— yes? I signed off on it before submission, and distributed it. Of course I read the document.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> And you agree with the findings?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of my employees. Why?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Okay. Wow. Well, have you read <em>any</em> of the Drygioni documentation that you've received?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Afters looks down.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> I don't see why you are investigating an anomaly from the Department of Statistics, do you ladies know anything about statistics?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> <em>Really?</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Heather.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison looks away from her camera, at something off-screen.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> What?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Lillihammer says nothing, but arches an eyebrow.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> I'm sorry, I think my connection is bad — what did you say? Are you familiar with advanced statistics?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison clears her throat, and looks back to her camera.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Right. To be honest, I don't need to understand statistics to know that 10 million minorities going missing is a <em>bit</em> more than a rounding error.</p>
<p><em>Silence.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> <em>Excuse me</em>? You signed off on something you didn't check yourself?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> What is this, a disciplinary hearing? For your information, of course I read the document. A variance of +/-5% is notable, but not world-changing — it's just a statistics issue, isn't it?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> You're… you're going to wish this was a disciplinary hearing. At least those have rule—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Seriously? Are you fucking kidding me? Jesus fuck, you haven't read <em>anything</em> we've sent you? And on top of that, you didn't even look at the fucking data?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> Dr. Garrison, I do not care for your tone. As for the anomaly, I trust my employees to accurately represent their da—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Then you're as stupid as they are. I'm sharing my screen, since apparently we know more about your anomaly than you do.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> While Heather does that, let me just take a moment and straighten some things out for you, Dr. Afters. This is more than just a 'statistical anomaly'; this potentially represents a K-Class scenario that your department was more than willing to sweep under the rug. You are at fault here — you failed to validate the data, and <em>you</em> distributed the information without verifying that the conclusions reached were accurate.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> How dare you—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> You can wait your turn. If you wanted to do anything, you should have taken care of it when it first crossed your desk. Let me make this clear — if Heather and I had not dug deeper, asked for more data, and followed up on our suspicions, you would be directly responsible for the deaths of 10 million people. Now, we don't even know if we will be able to find out what happened—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Hell! You still might be responsible for that!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> <em>But</em>, unless you are willing to work with us and accept that you made a mistake, there is no point to having this discussion. Now, let me ask you a very simple question: are you willing to cooperate with us, or should we escalate this to both disciplinary and ethics?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison barks a laugh, as Lillian stares down her webcam, a smug satisfaction visible. Dr. Afters swallows hard, and takes a deep breath.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> <<em>Quietly.</em>> Is… is the data ready for me to see?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Great answer. <<em>Heather shares her screen, displaying the data of the demographic analysis.</em>> So, can you see why we're having this conversation?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Afters squints, as he reads the information on screen. As he does, he frowns.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> I would just like to give you both my most sincere apologies. Dr. Lillihammer, I'm sure you're sympathetic, as a department head—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Section chair.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> Yes, right. As a section chair, I hope you can understand my desire to protect my subordinates.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Sure. That doesn't excuse this.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> Dr. Lillihammer, perhaps we could reach some agre—</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison clears her throat.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Dr. Afters, you are aware I am leading this investigation?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> Yes, but Dr. Lillihammer is your boss. Now, if you'll excuse us, Dr. Lillihammer and I were discussi—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I'm done. Expect to see me at your <em>personal</em> ethics hearing.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison disconnects from the video call, leaving Dr. Afters and Dr. Lillihammer. Dr. Afters appears annoyed, while Dr. Lillihammer is visibly unimpressed.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Feeling good about your choices?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Afters:</strong> I cannot believe that your subordinate would speak to me so disrespectfully, and with her boss here no less! I'm sure that you will be disciplining her accordingly?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Lillihammer freezes, before letting out a belly laugh. As she does, Dr. Garrison is visible walking behind Dr. Lillihammer, shaking her head and tensing her fists, before slamming the door shut behind her.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Yeah, yeah, no. Not at all. Unfortunately, unlike you, as a section chair, I like to think before I act. Good luck Gage, you're going to need it.</p>

<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> So. Are we going to analyze this too?</p>
<div class="dryg inner">
<p><strong>Garrison:</strong> Oh, without a doubt. Starting with the fact that Afters is a glorified paper-pusher who allowed this document to be published in the first place, despite not verifying the data.</p>

<li>Dr. Lillian Lillihammer</li>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> Following the interview with Dr. Afters, the researchers met to determine next steps. This impromptu meeting was recorded as part of the Drygioni Protocol — due to this, only an audio transcript is available.</p>
<hr/>
<p>[BEGIN LOG]</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> —we're recording now. Fucking protocol.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> It's fine. Nobody can see what we're wearing, it's just audio. You were saying something, right before we started recording.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Right. I was saying that, given how little information we gleamed from that call, I'm not sure where to go next. The Department of Statistics won't be much help, and there's only so far we can get by staring at numbers, but, how the hell do we even tackle this?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Let's stop, and restart. From scratch, ignoring all of the 'evidence' that was gathered so far, we're going to walk through this and find out what is really going on here. Namely, what the fuck 'absence' has to do with any of this.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Yeah. Okay, so we know 'absence' shouldn't exist, and we know that it destroys and consumes information, including memories. We also, unfortunately, know that it was trying to erase me. But then we erased my memories, and it should have gone away, right?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Why?</p>
<p><em>Silence.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> <em>Fuck.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> We just assumed that 'absence' would be forced out of existence without your memories but—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> But the idea of me is bigger than just my own memories.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Exactly. You exist in the minds of everybody you have ever met, in the minds of people who have heard about you, read your paper, hell, even passed you on the street!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> No, that can't be right. 'Absence' wasn't connected to me, it was connected to the 'Deadname Meme'. It was— okay wait. Are you thinking the same thing?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Your Deadname Meme was self-replicating and self-reinforcing. It spread, from person to person, whenever they would hear your name, hear about the <em>idea</em> of you.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Exactly. By now, my Deadname Meme might have infected people all around the world, just because somebody told a story about me. <em>Fuck</em>, why didn't we realize this sooner?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Hey, babe. Stop. Calm down, it's okay.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Don't tell me to calm down babe! This is— this is my fault.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> It's not your—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> No, it <em>is</em> my fault.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Prove it then.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Fine. I made my Deadname Meme and connected it with 'absence', because I didn't think about the consequences. I brought 'absence' back into our world.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Sure, but so have countless others throughout time? Why does this have to be you—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I wasn't done. I made the meme self-replicating, self-distributing and self-reinforcing. And I put the idea of my deadname into the very core of that. I put 'absence' into that.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> But we destroyed your memories! Babe, did you forget about the fucking mountain of memories you sacrificed to escape 'absence'? We fucking beat it!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> We didn't though! As far as the story is concerned, hell, as far as the one <em>we wrote</em>, we didn't fucking beat 'absence'. We saved me, sure, but once again, I didn't think about the fucking consequences.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> What were the consequences? Other than, you know, you losing 20 years of memories? Which seems like pretty fucking severe consequences, but we knew that when—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> 'Absence' wanted me. We know this. But we made it impossible to get to me, we isolated me. I was quarantined from the idea, and I escaped. But—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> But nobody else did.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> So 'absence' has an eternal, self-propagating, self-replicating gate into our fucking Noosphere, all because I was too fucking lazy to correct somebody who used my deadna—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Stop.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Don't say that. One, we're still being recorded right now. Two, and more importantly, this is not your fault.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> How could it be anybody else's fault, Lillian? Who else broke the world?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Babe. It's the Foundation. Half of the employees here have done what you did, if not worse.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I'm not other employees.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> I know. So what are you going to do about it?</p>
<p><em>Silence.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I don't know.</p>
<p><em>Sobbing can be heard.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Come here. Hey, it's okay. Just focus on my breathing, alright? In, and out. Inhale, exhale. Listen to my heart — you hear it beating, right? Listen to that. Like a metronome. Just… let it wash over you, and just breathe. Breathe, my love.</p>
<p><em>Breathing, quiet crying and whispers can be heard.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I just… what if this is <em>all</em> my fault? What if I'm the reason that so many fucking people like us are just… gone? What if I caused this?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> You are not responsible for the deaths of millions of people. We don't even know if 'absence' killed them, or some other anomaly, or maybe even another Foundation site that fucked up. There's no way to know that you are the reason they are dead.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> <em>Wait.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> What is it?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I… we didn't reset everything. We missed something.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> We started from the assumption that SCP-8843 somehow killed—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> There! How do we know that?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> What? That SCP-8843 killed the minorities?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> No. How do we know that they're <em>dead</em>?</p>
<p><em>Silence.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> It's 10 million <em>missing</em> minorities. Fuck.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Yeah. But that's a good thing, right?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Sure, but… Okay, idea. We've been frustrated because all we know is numbers. We just see raw data, and that means nothing. It's not who they are, it doesn't help us find out how or what happened to them, it just tells us that <em>something</em> happened.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Exactly. We can't rely on the numbers, we need something else. I just wish we could find somebody and talk to them, but—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> We can.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> We can?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Err, maybe. Probably. Maybe? If— yeah, okay, I have it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Are you going to share with the class?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> I was getting to it. Just let me grandstand, okay?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I'm all ears, Lilli.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Numbers are abstract, and more than that, they are so far removed from reality that it's practically meaningless. It tells us nothing about the anomaly, or why it's connected to 'absence', if at all. We need to be more specific.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> What? Narrow it does from global, to country, to state, and on and on, until we have a list of the tens of thousands of missing people in Seattle? Actually, no. We won't. Because they don't exist.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> What if we could get a primary source?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Fuck, if we had a primary source, we wouldn't need to keep the Drygioni protocol going, we could actually get to the bottom of this. But, babe — how the fuck can we get a primary source if they're all fucking missing?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> <em>When the voiceless and the nameless collide</em>…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Poetic.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Jackass. You wrote it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> What? I <em>did</em>?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Babe, seriously? I know my memory is perfect, but come on. We deleted half of your memories, do you <em>really</em> have that much to keep track of?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Shut up. Just remind me.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> You wrote that. In the story, the one we made. The prophecy you rewrote.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> So?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> So? Isn't it obvious what that means?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> You know I ha— oh my god.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> You're the nameless.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> It's Heather, in case you forgot.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Shut up. You know what I mean.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Yeah. I'm the 'nameless' because my deadname is lost. So… if somebody is voiceless…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Then they can't speak?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> What if it's not literal? Voiceless because… because they're…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Missing.</p>
<p><em>Pause.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Those are the voiceless. The millions who are missing, the ones who are affected by SCP-8843.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> But they're not the missing. You didn't write that. You wrote the 'voiceless'.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> So… if they're not missing then we just… we can't hear or see them?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> And they're all still here. Just—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Invisible. Ignored. Forgotten.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> But how did they disappear in the first place? 'Absence' would have consumed them entirely and destroyed them, how could they just… wake up one day, unable to be perceived? What is it about those people that let that happen? It's not your deadname meme, how would it be global and equal? So what could it be?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Ontological. It's an anomaly interacting with the Noosphere. Like you taught me — it's always the fucking Noosphere.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SCP-8843 — ONTOLOGICAL/MEMETIC ANALYSIS</strong></p>
<p>To identify SCP-8843's influence in the Noosphere, it is critical to define what it is. To define SCP-8843, we need to understand its ontological basis — effectively, we need to know what it means at a basal level. We need to find it. This is typically accomplished by examining the anomaly itself. However, given the fact that the anomaly is imperceptible, the current priority is in identifying the rules that govern its behaviours. We need to know <em>why</em> it disproportionately impacted minorities, especially mixed-race individuals.</p>
<p>To do this, we need to define the ontological traits of being a minority, compare those with the ontological traits that govern 'absence', and identify where the overlap is. The following table categorizes, defines and contrasts the two.</p>

<p>Based on the above ontological comparison, the following conclusion was drawn:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Both anomalies interact with the Noosphere, however, their method is different. While 'absence' removes information from the Noosphere, SCP-8843 appears to isolate an idea in the Noosphere, and prevent it from being perceived in reality. However, while 'absence' causes an individual to no longer exist, SCP-8843 appears to only cause an individual to be imperceptible. Therefore, while it is impossible to determine the victims of 'absence' following their disappearance, it <em>is</em> possible to identify the victims of SCP-8843 as based on the evidence they leave behind. Namely, while we cannot perceive those impacted individuals, we <em>can</em> perceive the impact they leave on the world.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Based on this, the researchers determined the following plan to isolate and identify a primary source, to fully understand SCP-8843:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Identify a population group impacted by SCP-8843</strong>. This has already been done; SCP-8843 disproportionately impacts multi-racial minorities.</li>
<li><strong>Locate a database that includes historical and active data regarding populations, resource use, facility use and more</strong>. This has been identified as the SCP Foundation internal personnel database. Notably, the personnel database also experienced an approximately 1.7% variance.</li>
<li><strong>A location is identified, wherein the resource consumption does not equal that of the projected consumption as based on the population</strong>. Site-72U, near Toledo, Ohio was selected based on the criteria: while the Site has a roster of 15 employees, utility usage and funding suggests that Site-72U has an actual population of 25 employees. In addition, SCP Foundation DE&I records indicate that Site-72U had a 60% rate of racial minorities as of October, 2018. That rate, as of February 24th, 2019, is 33.4% — therefore, we can assume that there are 10 individuals impacted by SCP-8843 at Site-72U.</li>
<li><strong>An individual that has been impacted by SCP-8843 is identified</strong>. Due to the nature of SCP-8843, this appears to be impossible, however, SCP-8843 only renders those individuals to be imperceptible. Therefore, we must identify an alternative method of perceiving and identifying those individuals.</li>
<li>'Absence' consumes information and individuals that cannot be perceived. If a method of tracking and identifying 'absence' can be created, then hypothetically, <strong>we can use 'absence's ontological signature as a method of identifying locations that are less relevant than others</strong>. Therefore, if we are able to isolate a conceptual space that is significantly correlated with the presence of 'absence', we may be able to indirectly perceive a victim of SCP-8843.</li>
</ol>
<p>It is the belief of the research team in charge of the Drygioni Protocol that such indirect perception will negate the effects of SCP-8843, thus, returning said individual to perception. Therefore, given Dr. Garrison's ontological connection to 'absence', their continued involvement is critical; Dr. Lillihammer's ontological stability is also believed to negate aspects of 'absence's anomalous influence, therefore, her continued involvement is needed.</p>
<p>At present time, a request for remote research has been granted, and Drs. Garrison and Lillihammer are to travel to Site-72U at their earliest convenience. Once a victim has been saved, it will be possible to determine the full impact and cause of SCP-8843, thus concluding the Drygioni Protocol investigation.</p>

<p>[BEGIN LOG]</p>
<p><em>Security footage displays a brown-haired man, of medium build, standing outside of a concrete wall, with a steel door. He checks his watch, and fidgets. After a minute, he pulls out his cellphone — as he does, a sedan arrives, and two women step out, dazzlecoats billowing behind them.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Hi! Are you Dr. Garrison and Dr. Lillihammer?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Yes. Out of the way, please.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Lillian. Really? <<em>Dr. Garrison shoots a glare at Dr. Lillihammer, before turning to face Dr. Wheeler.</em>> You're Dr. Wheeler?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Yes! I think we spoke over email a bit. You two are here for some kind of investigation?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Something like that.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wheeler stands awkwardly, as the two women stare back.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Can we go inside?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Oh my god, I'm so sorry! I just… <<em>A pause.</em>> I thought there was something I was going to say but… I can't remember it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> <<em>Frowning.</em>> Lilli, you think?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> At least we know we're in the right place.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>The three researchers stand inside a meeting room within Site-72U. It's a medium size, but bland.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> So feel free to use this meeting room as a temporary office, it's too big for our team. We used to have to meet in here to accommodate everybody but… <<em>He freezes.</em>> Sorry. Never mind. Ignore me.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Hold on, Jordan. Sorry, can I call you Jordan?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wheeler shakes his head, and regains awareness of the situation.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> You can! I'm sorry about that, I don't know what's going on with me. I wasn't like this before, but ever since late last year I've been…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Foggy?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Like the idea disappears while I'm thinking it.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison and Dr. Lillihammer share a look, and frown.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Well I'm Heather, and this lovely lady is my girlfriend, Lillian. Hopefully, we should be out of your hair soon, but if I can ask you some questions, it would really help us out!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Oh yeah! For sure, I'd be happy to help! We don't really deal with too many anomalies here at Site-72U. Our motto is "We're Here if They Need Us." <<em>Laughs.</em>> What did you want to know?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison gestures to a chair, and the three sit down at the conference room table. Dr. Garrison pulls out a portable terminal, and logs in. She pulls open a spreadsheet — it has demographic data on it.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> So, Jordan, how many people work at Site-72U?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> We just hired our fifteenth researcher, so we're still small. We do what we can, but we're just a skeleton crew, ma'am.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison flinches.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Ha, you got called "ma'am", and I'm older than you. <<em>She turns to face Dr. Wheeler.</em>> And you're sure about that?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Yes, I just finished their orientation yesterday. We have fifteen employees at the Site.</p>
<p><em>A pause. Dr. Garrison and Dr. Lillihammer share a look. A moment later, and Dr. Garrison clears her throat.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Dr. Wheeler, you seem to have a strong understanding of this Site, is that correct?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> I would hope so! I'm the facilities coordinator too. <<em>He smiles.</em>> Like I said, skeleton crew. We've all been picking up the slack lately.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Lillihammer gives Dr. Garrison a pointed stare. She nods in return.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Can you tell me how many dormitories you have?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Our staff tends to live on-site, since it's more convenient, so we built the site with 40 dorms, with room to expand.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> How many rooms are unoccupied right now, Jordan?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Fifteen.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Are you sure? Completely certain?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Positive. We fill them in order, and Dr. Kenneth just moved into room twenty-five.</p>
<p><em>Beat.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Did you hear it?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I did. Did you, Jordan?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Hear what? No?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> By your account, you have fifteen employees. And your fifteenth employee was just placed in room twenty-five. <<em>A pause.</em>> How can that be right?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> That can't be right. It shouldn't be… No. That doesn't make sense.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Well shit, Heather, you broke his brain.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison lightly slaps Dr. Lillihammer's arm.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Shut up, I didn't break his bra—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> Is that who you're here for? For…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Your missing ten coworkers? Yeah. That's why we're here.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Now we just need to break a few rules.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> Following this exchange, video capture experienced interference and digital corruption. Investigations into the cause were inconclusive.</p>
</div>
<div class="dryg">
<p><strong>Garrison:</strong> By this point, our theory was pretty much confirmed, but we had to isolate an individual to verify our hypothesis. Thankfully, due to our memetics expertise, and unique predisposition towards locating ideas that should not exist, we felt that this would be the easy part.</p>
<div class="dryg inner">
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> And when this comes up in review, because I know it will — Dr. Wheeler was not the problem here. He might be green, or just a small-Site researcher, but <em>he</em> is not responsible for their disappearances. He is not responsible for finding them.</p>
<p>We are. The Foundation, as an organization, <em>is</em>.</p>
<p>The problem is in how little the Foundation prioritizes education, memetics training and continual reinforcement. This wasn't a one-off, we just chose a Site that would be easiest to prove our theory. Somebody other than us should have noticed the missing researchers, and the fact that nobody did is on the Foundation.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Sure, but, are you willing to take that risk? We don't know what it could do, especially with your…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> It's fine. We need to save these people, Lillian. I'm the only person who can help them.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> For now, but we might be able to find anot—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> In the future? Yeah. But right now, we don't know if they are alive, dead, or about to be erased from existence. We can't know that until we can talk to somebody. If there was another option, I'd be all ears — but we would have thought of one by now.</p>
<p><em>Silence.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Once you take this, you will exist and experience both the physical, and the Noospheric worlds at the same time. I have no idea what that will look like, but…</p>

<p><em>Dr. Wheeler and Dr. Lillihammer stand in an empty hallways, each staring at a door. Soft rustling can be heard from within. Dr. Garrison is on the other side of the door, but not visible on a camera feed yet.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> So what's the plan?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> No clue. It's Heather's show, after all.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Lillihammer picks at her nails.</em></p>

<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> I don't get you, Dr. Wheeler.</p>
<p><em>The door opens, and Dr. Garrison steps out — she is hesitantly walking, as she looks around, before covering her eyes with hand. Dr. Lillihammer rushes over.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Are you—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I'm fine. It's just a lot to process.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> What are you seeing?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Everything I usually see, but… strings. Connections. Context, ideas, meaning, it's all <em>everywhere</em> and it's overwhelming. Like a kaleidoscope of thought, cascading away from every single object I can see.</p>
<p><em>She opens her eyes, staring at Dr. Lillihammer.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> But not you. When I see you, I just see Lillian. <<em>She takes a breath.</em>> Okay. I can do this. I think I have it figured out.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Are you sure?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Fuck no, but we have no time to waste.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison grabs Dr. Lillihammer by her coat lapels, and pulls her into an intense kiss. A few seconds later, they separate, breathing heavily.</em></p>

<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> What do you need from me?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Just help us navigate. What's going on, Heather?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison crouches to the floor, reaching out to the concrete below, and grasping at the air.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> There are colored strands everywhere, running like wires throughout everything. They overlap and look like they're pulsing, like a subway map — Noospheric connections?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Most likely. Anything stand out?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Yeah. There's this one that's different. Most of them, they look like thin wires, colorful strands that pulse with energy, wrapped around each other. Almost delicate, a silk strand that crosses over others, interwoven into a tapestry — and then there's this one. It's deep purple, almost black. It pulsates, like a worm inching forward with every second. It's thick, strangling, almost like a kudzu vine. <<em>She shakes her head.</em>> Yeah. I think this is it?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> What is 'it'?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> 'Absence'. Or at least, it feels like 'absence', feels like… like it's a part of me.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison begins to walk through the hallways, staring at the floor, tracing an invisible rope, as Dr. Lillihammer and Dr. Wheeler trail behind her.</em></p>

<p><em>After 10 minutes of methodic traversal of Site-72U, Dr. Garrison stops in front of a doorway.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> This is it.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> What's it?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Who lives in this room, Dr. Wheeler?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wheeler looks at the door. It reads, '#21'.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> What? Nobody. This is a storage room.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> It is? Why is a storage room in the dormitory hallways?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wheeler pauses.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> I don't—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> And why would a storage room have a sign that reads 'Knock First'?</p>
<p><em>Dr. Wheeler freezes, turning to look at Dr. Garrison.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> I didn't realize. How long have I been ignoring the—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Hey. Don't do that. You didn't know.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> You <em>couldn't</em> know. You are not to blame. All we can do now is help out whomever we can. Whoever used to live in here. <<em>She turns to Dr. Garrison.</em>> Ready?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> I guess so.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Garrison scans her keycard and the door unlocks. She pulls it open; the dormitory appears as a standard Foundation-issue personnel dormitory, with unidentified personal effects strewn within.

Otherwise, the room is empty.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> <<em>Panicking.</em>> Do you two see that?</p>
<p><em>Neither Dr. Wheeler or Dr. Lillihammer responds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> You don't see him? Standing right there? A person, in the fucking corner of the room?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> We… we don't see anybody in there babe.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> The cord, the vine — it's winding around him, wrapping tight, like a strangling snake, choking him out of existence. Fuck, what am I supposed to do here, Lillian?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> I… I don't know. Do we want to regroup, and fi—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Hello? Can you hear me? <<em>Shakes her head.</em>> No, they're not responding. It's like they're in some kind of conceptual stasis…</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Can you get rid of the influence? Can you remove the vines?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> No. I can still feel 'absence'. It was weak, almost like it had forgotten about them too, but now… it's getting stronger. It's throbbing through the vines and getting tighter and tighter — god babe, I think 'absence' is coming.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Wheeler:</strong> What's going on?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> One second, Jordan — Heather, we need to get you out of here. Now.</p>
<p><em>Dr. Lillihammer moves to grab Dr. Garrison's hand, but is slapped away.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> No. I can't. If I leave, then 'absence' is going to come back and who knows what the fuck will happen next. They might not be here any longer, not after… No, I can't run. Hey! Hey! Hey, fuckhead! Wake up!</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> Babe, we need to leave. Now.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> No, I'm not going to just—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Lillihammer:</strong> That's not a question, that's a—</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Lillian, I can't run away anymore. <<em>She enters the room.</em>> Okay, fine. If you can't hear me, I'll drag your ass back into the real world myself. <<em>Dr. Garrison grabs towards the corner of the room.</em>></p>
<p><em>Interference and static cuts in through all recordings of this moment. The cause is believed to be linked to SCP-8843 or 'absence', though this is unconfirmed. When footage returns, an unknown individual stands, the front of their shirt grabbed in Dr. Garrison's fist.</em></p>
<p><strong>Unknown Individual:</strong> Who— who are you?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Garrison:</strong> Funny. We were about to ask you the same question.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 150%; font-family: Montserrat">DRYGIONI PROTOCOL: CONCLUSION</span></p>
<p>Following the completion of the Drygioni Protocol investigation by Dr. Garrison and Dr. Lillihammer, a determination was made regarding the validity of the original SCP-8843 documentation. As based on evidence collected during the investigation, namely, the appearance of a missing Foundation researcher that self-identified as mixed-race, it was concluded that SCP-8843 was more than a simple 'statistical anomaly', and in fact, was anomalously responsible for the active disappearance of millions of minorities around the globe.</p>
<p>Following this review, an updated proposal for documentation was provided by the leading researchers. It is included below:</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8843</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Safe</span> Keter</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8843 is uncontained at this time, and cannot be contained through traditional means. SCP-8843 must be negated at a conceptual level — development of a solution is presently underway by the lead SCP-8843 Researchers, Dr. Heather Garrison and Dr. Lillian Lillihammer.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8843 is an ontological anomaly existing exclusively within the Noosphere, influencing all information in human consciousness. SCP-8843 causes individuals to attempt to categorize others, as based on major groupings, stereotypes or categories. If an individual cannot be easily categorized, due to existing across multiple groupings, or due to other alternative sources of ambiguity, SCP-8843 causes that individual to 'abstract', and be imperceptible within baseline reality.</p>
<p>As a result, while these individuals may continue to exist for a period of time, they will inevitably conceptually destabilize, either resultant from natural ontological erosion, or Noospheric predation from entities such as 'absence'.</p>
<p>At present time, there is only a single method of reversing the effect of SCP-8843, that is unable to scale to save all impacted individuals. Research into negating SCP-8843, or isolating those individuals from 'absence' is the primary focus of research.</p>
</div>
<div class="dryg">
<p><strong>Garrison:</strong> We are going to figure this out. Even if that takes neutralizing 'absence', I won't give up until I have saved everyone I can. I won't let anybody else end up in the fate that was meant for me.</p>

<p>In the academic travesty that was early Egyptology, rumors abounded left and right about cursed tombs and dead men exacting their vengeance. Any time a new pharaoh was dug up, you couldn't go five minutes without hearing the tall tales — some fabricated, some not — about remains coming alive, plagues of locusts, droughts, mysterious disappearances, basically whatever captured the imagination that day. Turns out it was a bit of an anything-goes climate for scholarship back in the '20s; you can trust me, I have immortal colleagues!</p>
<p>Foundation, of course, makes all those old mummy stories <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6460">into pulp</a> and tries to forget it ever happened. But that collective belief must have crystallized, say my partners at Tactical Theology: "don't disturb the remains". Because, our joint thesis is, whenever you do, you're messing with that dead king's whole cosmology; his whole self-held view of the universe, and it's binding. You're denying him his peaceful post-portem stay in paradise. And that almost never ends well for you.</p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8844 is an anomalous weather phenomenon affecting dust storms on the surface of Mars. SCP-8844 appears not to concentrate around any particular geographic area, prevalent across the entire planet and manifesting more often only in areas of the Martian surface where storms already tend to form with greater frequency. The phenomenon corresponds in general to a marked and drastic increase in velocity of dust particles and general destructiveness when it manifests in a storm, however its distinctive characteristic is the continuous creation of colossal and often aggressive elemental apparitions (hereafter SCP-8844-A) from within the storm for as long as it persists in duration.</p>
<p>SCP-8844-A vary greatly in size but a rough estimate places their average length at 120 meters from head to tail. Instances are composed entirely of Martian sand and concentrated wind, their forms held together by an apparent unknown force. It is similarly unknown how SCP-8844-A are capable of self-propelled locomotion. Despite material composition, their forms are incredibly resilient and resist dispersal or other alteration from even high-impact assaults. In the event that an apparition is partially dispersed, it is able to reform the lost body part given an abundance of viable material in the ongoing sandstorm. In shape, SCP-8844-A uniformly resemble fauna indigenous to the greater Nile river ecosystem, including mythical and other anomalous fauna<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>, and in particular animals associated with symbolic or religious importance by the ancient Egyptian civilization<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>. Entities ostensibly display a limited amount of intelligence, comparable to the totemic animals which they resemble, however whether their actions are automatic or the consequence of some type of self-awareness is unknown. When a given instance of SCP-8844 subsides, all associated SCP-8844-A dissipate naturally.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>History:</strong> Knowledge of SCP-8844 is ubiquitous and long-standing in the oral traditions of all known Martian cultures. Its presence is first felt in the geological and archaeological record approximately 3,700 years ago, at which point characteristic disruptions in sediment and a markedly higher occurrence of city ruins indicating destruction by sandstorm begin to appear; prior to this time, SCP-8844 presumably did not exist. Destroyed settlements and dried-out canal systems during drought are often attributed in indigenous legends to SCP-8844-A's rampages; it is theorized that a prime cause of the historical push toward the present nomadic state of most Martian civilization was that the emergent phenomenon has made sustained agricultural living in one location effectively impossible. The earliest and most reliable available terrestrial sources refer to the cause of SCP-8844's presence on Mars as the “Curse of Khepri”, presumably in reference to the Egyptian deity of the same name<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup>. The significance of this is presently unknown.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> SCP-8844 first came to the Foundation's attention when astronomers at Site-86 noted a meteorological abnormality on the Martian surface in 1943, though was not thoroughly understood until the Foundation's initial expeditions to the planet forced a series of highly destructive encounters with the anomaly. For more information, personnel can consult the following auxiliary timeline.</p>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><strong>DEC 1943:</strong> Abnormalities on Martian surface first noted by Foundation astronomers. Likely SCP-8844 manifestation is observed during a dust storm centered around Terra Noachis and the Argyre plain.</p>
<p><strong>16 NOV 1944:</strong> Persistent anomalous activity on Mars deemed likely after several repeat incidents, but designated low priority.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>AUG 1972:</strong> Foundation begins planning for a secure facility on the surface of Mars. Authorization obtained from <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6848">Site-51</a> directorship council to use the Central Nevada Spaceport for mass shipping of personnel and material.</p>
<p><strong>12 DEC 1974:</strong> The Foundation's first Martian facility, provisional Outpost-747, begins construction. Among its objectives is to observe and document meteorological abnormalities on the Martian surface to survey for anomalous phenomena.</p>
<p><strong>07 SEP 1976:</strong> Around 80% through the construction process, provisional Outpost-747 is destroyed following exposure to a sandstorm<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup>. Foundation mission control receives panicked and largely incoherent SOS transmissions relaying the base was subject to a heretofore unknown and unconsidered-for anomalous "attack".</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>28 DEC 1976:</strong> Provisional Outpost-748 planned, featuring double-reinforced structure, additional security systems including several defensive floodwalls, planet-wide orbital storm detection system via satellite, and several times the original personnel presence assigned during the construction phase to finish construction before storm onset.</p>
<p><strong>MAY 1978:</strong> Provisional Outpost-748 undergoes construction.</p>
<p><strong>24 APR 1980:</strong> Construction completed.</p>
<p><strong>18 OCT 1980:</strong> Crew of provisional Outpost-748 report hostile anomalous entities approaching base during sandstorm onset. Relayed images display in the distance colossal lions, crocodiles, and jackals composed of red sand. So far as can be determined, storm is most eight (8) hours from arrival at Outpost-748. Noting time, Foundation mission control informs crew that aid in the form of active satellite bombardment can not be ordered in time for estimated impact. All security walls raised. Upon impact, elemental entities circumvent defensive walls and penetrate reinforced dome, killing the vast majority of crew. In the ensuing hours, the remainder of Outpost-748 is razed to the ground.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>OCT-NOV 1980:</strong> In the aftermath of recent event, Foundation mission control unilaterally raises security situation to Beta priority. SCP-8844 file drafted and officiated as a coherent phenomenon. Before drafting the plans for Outpost-749, Foundation enters negotiation with Goldbaker Ltd. for coverage under a special Martian defense plan.</p>
<p><strong>08 JUN 1982:</strong> Provisional Outpost-749 begins construction with an integrated security network featuring fully automatic machine gun turrets, detection and bombardment satellites, experimental thaumaturgic wards, five (5) concentric reinforced geodesic domes, several missile silos, and other contingencies. Construction crew is sent to Mars with a variety of Nu-7-issue military ground and air crafts, in addition to thirty-four M198 Howitzer systems and thirty-eight guided surface-to-air missile systems.</p>
<p><strong>19 MAR 1984:</strong> Construction completed.</p>
<p><strong>28 AUG 1984:</strong> Provisional Outpost-749 staff report their first incoming cycle of SCP-8844 is anticipated in 29 hours<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup>.</p>
<p><strong>29 AUG 1984:</strong> Attack commences. Crew and automated defense system are able to disperse two (2) instances of SCP-8844-A after over thirty minutes of sustained artillery and missile fire in concert with light orbital bombardment from satellites. More SCP-8844-A instances appear, apparently beyond the hope of destruction. The first dome is breached at two hours since commencement of attack; destruction of provisional Outpost-749 begins. Several crew flee underground. Communication ceases thereafter; no survivors known. Surveillance satellite imagery reveals in the coming days that provisional Outpost-749 has been reduced to rubble.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>JUN 1986:</strong> Construction on the planned provisional Outpost-750 is underway. The new design features highly experimental thaumaturgic directed energy missiles, revised automatic turrets<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup>, rudimentary force propulsion defenses, and a backup arsenal of five (5) missile-mounted thaumonuclear devices, in addition to all defenses, weapons systems, and reinforcements of the prior Outpost-749 model<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup>.</p>
<p><strong>08 JAN 1987:</strong> Construction completed.</p>
<p><strong>21 MAY 1987:</strong> Provisional Outpost-750 forecasts incoming SCP-8844. Crew readies weapons systems.</p>
<p><strong>22 MAY 1987:</strong> Storm rapidly approaches the outer walls, threatening to level Outpost-750. SCP-8844-A initiate attack, some instances breaching the first protective dome. At 0:16 hours, crew activate directed energy arsenal at the advancing vanguard as satellite array commences tactical orbital strikes. Video feed indicates SCP-8844-A sustain considerable damage from the molten plasma and begin to partially dissipate. At 0:37 hours, crew reports no other option, and authorizes a missile-mounted thaumonuclear device be launched far into the dust storm. An indeterminate number of SCP-8844-A are annihilated; several more on the periphery of the blast are vitrified. SCP-8844-A do not immediately yield their assault, but are slow to regenerate and stalled significantly. Sustained heavy shelling persists in tandem with satellite bombardment and directed energy attacks for the next forty minutes, further slowing their advance. Ultimately, at 1:19 hours, a second thaumonuclear weapon is detonated, damaging a majority of the engaged SCP-8844-A instances beyond immediate repair. The remaining instances disperse or vacate, ending the attack on provisional Outpost-750.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>JUN-JUL 1987:</strong> Formal containment procedures for SCP-8844 are drafted and enter effect.</p>

<hr/>
<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I know this case is old as rocks — no pun intended, swear it — but it’s been crawling in the back of my mind for forever and I think we just found the missing piece.</p>
<p>You all may recall I told you all those years ago about a Middle Kingdom-era folktale lost to Veiled archaeology, about a pharaoh who insulted the god Khepri and was punished dearly for it. It one was one of our main leads, since it sounds well enough like a “curse” and explained what Khepri’s name was doing in all our sources. You may also remember we don’t know what the pharaoh's punishment <em>was</em> in that myth — for the longest time, the tablet we trace it back to has been broken; we only have the first half. And in the oral legends, it changes every time: we had to figure out what the original punishment was, and there was just no way.</p>
<p>Two days ago my boys were on an expedition into the Bir Tawil pattern screamer — don’t lose sleep if you don’t know what that is, doesn’t matter. Anyway, turns out somebody an awful long time ago had beat us to it, and hidden some of their belongings on the other side of the vortex. We scooped up the artifacts, pieced together one of the papyri and translated — remarkably well preserved, actually. What we got was an awfully similar story about a pharaoh who was denied passage into the afterlife for stomping on a scarab beetle, and cursed to walk the desert instead. In other words, the second half of our myth. Maybe.</p>
<p>See, what we might have forgot about Khepri is that he’s not just the god of the sunrise. A sunrise represented the creation of a new something from nothing — both the sun in the morning and adult scarab beetles apparently appeared to the ancient Egyptians to appear from nowhere. Further, that he specifically represents the <em>renewal</em> of life in the process of rebirth: he can take things that are dead and make them living. He could, in other words, take something bound for the afterlife and rebound it for the mortal coil by renewing its life prematurely — bind it here on hostile terms, if he’s feeling particularly spiteful, sort of like a ghost unwittingly possessing its own zombified corpse.</p>
<p>The storms aren’t Khepri’s curse at all. They’re the dead king’s manifest rage, lashing out in vain at the god who trapped him there. The reason why they say it’s Khepri’s fault, why the martians do, anyway — and I presume their oral tradition is where that old hieroglyphic name we use nowadays comes from — is because he was the one who sent the damned mummy to Mars in the first place. He took his destined afterlife away and broke the iron law of Egyptian cosmology: that <em>everyone</em> has the chance to get their heart weighed. Maybe that’s why punishments for disrupting the dead became so ubiquitous in Egyptologist lore; why all the tombs are “cursed”. When you mess with that sarcophagus, you’re denying some superpowered maniac their promised paradise. And when you do that, somebody else ends up on the receiving end of one hell of a storm.</p>
<p>Best,<br/>
Aaron</p>

<p>SCP-8848-A coiled circularly.</p>
</div>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8848</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8848 is to be kept in entirety within a standard storage unit for low-risk anomalous items, with additional measures for electromagnetic shielding.</p>
<p>Replicating of SCP-8848 must be under the approval of the researcher team, with at least one personnel involved with Level 4/8848 clearance or above. All replicas and resultant productions be explicitly documented and abide by the same confidentiality terms with SCP-8848.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8848 is a pair of induction coils (interchangeably designated -A and -B) that are identical in shape, weight, and other physical properties, rendering them isotropic and unable to distinguish when exchanging with the other.</p>
<p>SCP-8848-A and -B both function normally and exhibit qualities similar to common electromagnets and induction coils, which can electrify other charged bodies by inducing electromotive force in their circuits within their fields of magnetic influence.</p>
<p>However, the mutual induction between SCP-8848-A and -B perpetuates when their distance drew farther, and seems to last irrelevant to the actual distance. The intertwinement also cannot be disrupted by common means of electromagnetic screening or other blockages, such as metal containers and webs. The induction between -A and -B works timelessly and instantaneously, which means, unlike common coils in transformers, the current and voltage in -A and -B unconditionally run in sync, rendering them transcending the principle of locality<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>.</p>
<p><strong>Experiment Logs:</strong></p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Approaches:</strong> SCP-8848-A was transported to Site-CN-34, 126██ km in direct distance across the Earth from SCP-8848-B, then put into a reinforced containment unit with a lining of telepathic shielding alloy. After test requirements were coordinated, a versatile weak current generator was applied to SCP-8848-A; a multimeter was connected to SCP-8848-B.</p>
<p><strong>Outcomes:</strong> Either on direct currents or intermittent, alternating currents, SCP-8848 worked as well as nothing to do with the shielding methods. SCP-8848-A was later sent back to be re-contained with its counterpart.</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Approaches:</strong> During an outer space expedition, it was requested that SCP-8848-B be taken to at least outside the Karman line<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>, and test its ability to surpass an extreme distance and electromagnetic distortion from the ionosphere and space radiations, while SCP-8848-A was in its regular place.</p>
<p><strong>Outcomes:</strong> The spaceship went beyond the Moon after 7 days. A radio modulator used to generate electric currents by audio input was connected to SCP-8848-B, and the expedition team spoke to the ground control via this. The conversation is transcribed below, with impertinent information removed.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Squadron:</strong> Here it is. Here it is. You can just leave alone the wave filter. We don't need it for now. <em>(volume up)</em> Command, can you hear us?</p>
<p><strong>Control:</strong> Yes, we can hear you. The voice is clear.</p>
<p><strong>Squadron:</strong> What about the signal fidelity? As compared to the normal channel?</p>
<p><strong>Control:</strong> One moment. <em>(pauses)</em> It was… pretty fine. Uh, the voice is somehow clearer coming from the coil.</p>
<p><strong>Squadron:</strong> Can you confirm the time-lapse? We are speaking from two different channels, right?</p>
<p><strong>Control:</strong> One second. It's one second faster than from the coil.</p>
<p><strong>Squadron:</strong> Oh my gosh. <em>(clattering sound)</em> Do you know what does this mean, Harrison? <em>(Harrison was speaking.)</em> It is likely exceeding the speed of light. You don't know what this means, Arvin.</p>
<p><strong>Control:</strong> We've got that. Likely this will persist even later on your way. Congrats!</p>

<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Approaches:</strong> A copy of SCP-8848 was generated by <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-038" target="_blank">SCP-038</a>. The four coil instances were then cross-tested in all 6 combinations.</p>
<p><strong>Outcomes:</strong> The two new coils did not respond either to the original -A or -B, but instead reacted between themselves and inherited the property intact. This phenomenon was noticed. Afterward, all replications of SCP-8848 are to be tagged respectively in pairs to avoid confusion.</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Approaches:</strong> One duplication of SCP-8848 was disassembled and reverted to copper wire, then remolded and weaved as a thin-stranded conductor to be tested.</p>

<div class="scp-image-caption">
<p>One of the new coils weaved by thinner threads of copper.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Outcomes:</strong> The twisted wires show their property of extended mutual induction as formerly. It was then hypothesized that the anomalous characteristics of SCP-8848 probably originated from its raw material, which is chemically indistinct from common copper but seemingly bears unknown qualities.</p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Approaches:</strong> A project aiming at utilizing SCP-8848 was initiated based on previous experiments, which offered concrete evidence for facilitating the material itself. Pairs of integrated digital chips were manufactured using the material, with expectations of developing a distance-proof high-resolution electronic communication technology.</p>
<p><strong>Outcomes:</strong> Two massive integrated circuits could synchronize their status if only corded respectively by intertwined SCP-8848 instances, while the continuity of wires is preserved.</p>

<h2 id="toc0"><span>Proposal for the Project Telekinetics</span></h2>
</div>
<br/>
Project Telekinetics is developed based on SCP-8848, a pair of electromagnetic coils that are identical in shape and functionality. They have the interchangeability to duplicate electronic signals within a single-narrative three-dimensional universe, e.g., our baseline reality, while bearing no downsides of time-lapse or distancing attenuation.
<p>Project Telekinetics (abbr. TEKI) is to introduce a new technology to build an efficient brain-to-body interface. Preliminary steps will include:</p>
<ul>
<li>An authorized Foundation personnel will serve as Side A.</li>
<li>An artificially produced, congenitally brainless (yet the body and autonomic nervous system still function normally) humanoid or a human-like robot that is capable of interpreting and performing actions based on human neural signals will serve as Side B.</li>
<li>A neuro-electronic chip will be implanted attached to the spinal cord of Side A to read the neural impulse originating from the subject's free will. Another chip will be installed to receive the signal from Side A to direct the action to Side B, controlling it to perform the action.</li>
<li>The connection will then automatically be established by SCP-8848, to enable Side A to control the body motion and simultaneously get sensational feedback from it.</li>
<li>After the connection is established, Side A will be put into a deep hibernation (vegetative) state, temporarily disconnecting from their own body's motion and senses. Therefore, an exterior life-supporting system may be necessary for this practice.</li>
</ul>
<hr/>
<p>The potentials of Project Telekinesis include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Rejuvenate:</strong> Revitalize body disabilities and alleviate sufferings from diseases.</li>
<li><strong>Expedition:</strong> Ensure the utmost safety of personnel exploring anomalies, Groups of Interests, and other uncategorized places/spacetime/objects.</li>
<li><strong>Research:</strong> Potentiate deep-going research into the modus operandi of human physiology and the relationship between mind and body.</li>
<li><strong>Weaponize:</strong> Train Side B subjects as armed forces to be deployed in military and violent actions to protect Foundation employees from being injured in physical combat. As concerned about the value of SCP-8848 and worries about the disclosure of relevant technologies, this potential scenario is currently not considered for application until its efficiency and security can be well guaranteed.</li>

<p><em><SCP-8855 walks up to a tree within its enclosure, bracing itself against it. Professor Alsvart fumbles with a pen and notepad, setting them down hurriedly on a plastic fold-up table as Director Moose approaches through the grass.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Moose— Tilda. Tilda— Moose.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> <em>Haa-haa.</em></p>
<p><em><Moose extends her hand to Alsvart, who gives her a confused look. Rather than taking it, she quickly pulls her into an embrace. Moose is surprised, but reciprocates with a soft smile.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I'm sorry for eating into your schedule like this, with a meeting that isn't just business. I'm sure a great many people have an urgent need of you at any given moment, but— I haven't seen you in so long.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I know— no, it's fine. I've had an unfortunate couple of days. I'm glad to be outside, with friends. I need something easy… to take my mind off things.</p>
<p><em><Alsvart releases Moose from her grip and steps back.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> This place isn't good for you, you know that? You can't keep working yourself to the bone like this.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Someone's gotta do it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> And <em>someone's</em> gotta take care of you, Tilda. Please, sit.</p>
<p><em><They both sit down across from each other on a pair of plastic fold-up chairs. SCP-8855 ceases bracing itself against the tree and begins to wander.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I see it on your face; questions. Far be it for me to delay your curiosities, <em>ask away.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I got the notice from security about this thing. No indication of anomalous attributes or of external subterfuge; it's been cleared for release outside the perimeter. I take it you're the reason it's still here?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Ye-up! I blocked its release. I just had to test one last thing. Plus… do you really think a <em>three-hundred-plus</em> kilogram beast like that could've slipped by <em>our</em> perimeter unnoticed? <em>Really?</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Stranger things happen.</p>
<p><em><Silence. SCP-8855 appears to be inspecting the grass around its enclosure.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Enlighten me.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Someone as well-read as you, how much do you know about "Fylgja"?</p>
<p><em><Moose stares blankly at Alsvart.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> F-Y-L-G-J-A.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Ah. Hm… I've seen the name under the category of 'guardian spirit'. Never did read up on them myself, though.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> A guardian spirit indeed! A <em>follower</em> — that's what "fylgja" means — tied to fate and fortune. They manifest mostly in dreams, in feminine form, sometimes as animals representative of it's owner's spirit. Though "follower" <em>is</em> a bit of a misnomer, as they actually walk ahead of them, act ahead of them. So they're guides, of sorts.</p>
<p><em><Moose stares curiously at Alsvart.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Their animal forms usually appear in the dreams of others to forewarn the fate of its owner. But, when that form can be seen <em>by</em> the owner? It is a clear omen of death — <strong>impending</strong>.</p>
<p><em><Silence. Moose continues to stare, patiently waiting for Alsvart to make her point.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Gosh, when'd <em>you</em> start making such liberal use of the silent treatment? Fine! What if I told you this— <em><pointing to SCP-8855></em> —is <em>yours</em>?</p>
<p><em><Moose takes a moment to look at Alsvart, then at SCP-8855 for a while, then back at Alsvart.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Why, just because…?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <strong>No</strong>, dummy. Not because it's a <em>moose</em>. It's— <em><she scoffs.></em> Have you had any weird dreams as of late?</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I haven't <em>been</em> dreaming as of late. Haven't had the time.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> See? This is why we never spend time together anymore! This place isn't good for you. Always busy, busy, busy. Well, I <em>have</em> been dreaming— <em><again, pointing to SCP-8855.></em> —of her. Two nights in a row, now.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> So I can say that someone did their job properly… Alsvart, do you have anything to go off here besides circumstance and conjecture? <em>Are you certain you haven't just had moose on the mind?</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Well I… <em>I suppose in certain ways you could say I have.</em> But… very well. I'll recount what's been my primary focus for the past couple days. I <em>just</em> got back — yesterday — from my vacation in Greece, throughout which I was re-reading 'Gödel, Escher, Bach' for the… fifth time. So, n—</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> You never left the hotel room, did you?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> …the Aegean Sea looked just fine through the window. <em><Pause.></em> Anyway, so, no, I haven't had <em>moose</em> on the mind. Last I heard they aren't native to the Mediterranean anyway.</p>
<p><em><SCP-8855 stops moving and locks its gaze upon Alsvart, laying its ears back and raising its hair.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I'll grant you that a coincidence like this, in our line of work, <em>could</em> be an assumed manifestation of anomalous influence. But you need more than that.</p>
<p><em><Alsvart pauses and exerts herself greatly to maintain eye-contact with Moose, putting on a fake smile before speaking.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> How's your sex life?</p>
<p><em><Moose closes her eyes and belabors her breathing, beginning to speak shortly before opening them again.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> <em>What?</em> It… really is lovely catching up with you — Reine — but we <em>are</em> working.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Clearly. It must be difficult for you, when everyone's too afraid to speak up to the big boss. I understand, of course, the power imbalance. You're in charge, where would you go looking? <em>Other site directors?</em> Not a very big pool… not a very good looking one.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> And what, exactly, could've possibly indicated to you that I had even the slightest gleaming interest — at all— in discussing such a topic with <em>you</em>?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> No, no. I know that, Tilda. I know.</p>
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/shattered-love" target="_blank">Not since Alison</a>, right?</p>
<p><em><Moose stares at Alsvart with a gaze that threatens harm.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> She must be a <em>pretty</em> difficult one to top, huh?</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> You're pissing me off n—</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> You said I needed more. <em><She turns toward SCP-8855.></em></p>
<p><em><After a moment's delay Moose does the same. SCP-8855 is now standing on the immediate opposite side of the enclosure fence, staring at Alsvart, agitated. It takes a violent bite at the fence. Alsvart hides a frown from Moose's view.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> It's not just you. In my dreams, when it came to me, I always thought of you. My mind had difficulty differentiating its behavior, its image, from yours Like it was an interobject, somewhere in between. In my dreams I saw it walking away, towards… someone. I don't know who.</p>
<p><em><Moose continues to look toward SCP-8855.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> They walk ahead of you, act ahead of you. As it is now, is how you soon will be. In dreams they come to guide you, or others—</p>
<p><em><Moose interrupts, standing up and turning towards Alsvart.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> This is <strong>not</strong> how we test! You set an appointment, you state your suspicions, you outline procedure! You do <strong><em>not</em></strong> drag a co-worker into a meeting and blindside them with inappropriate questions in a selfish gambit to corroborate your theories!</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I'm sorry, Tilda. I didn't want to hurt you, but I had to prove it to you!</p>
<p><em><Silence. Moose remains standing, staring.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> And I haven't seen you in so long.</p>
<p><em><Moose turns, and leaves without a word. Alsvart sits still for a while before picking up the pen and notepad on the table. She looks at SCP-8855, which has already sauntered off through its enclosure. She begins to write.></em></p>

I'm looking out of a window in my home. The view is familiar to a point that I almost don't recognize it. It's the one from my office at Site-19. The field is dew-laden; it's morning, I can see a dark figure dancing on the treeline, half-obscured by a gentle fog at our feet. The cold wind makes me shiver, and the treeline upon which it stands is one straight, unending threshold stretching from horizon to horizon. Looking back, there is no home, no Site-19. The threshold surrounds me, a circular clearing of a dense forest. I'm surrounded and alone. I know I'm alone.<br/>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
The figure accompanies me, it smiles at me lovingly, its darkness warms me in the chilly fog. Over its silence I find it hard to hear myself speak. I don't know what I'm trying to say, or why I feel such a desperation to say it. I'm not even sure who I'm speaking to. It reaches out and I want more than anything to pull it into my embrace…
<p>But I know I'm alone. An ever-present heartbeat pauses as I'm struck by a pervading sense of self-awareness. I know I'm dreaming. I know I'm about to wake up. I turn away from the figure, and I say nothing.</p>

<div class="blockquote">
<p><em><Moose is standing by her office window, gazing out on the field and SCP-8855's enclosure. Alsvart is sitting by Moose's desk, she appears saddened, lost in thought.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Listen closely, Reine. I'm prepared to leave yesterday's indecorum at the door — that is — on the condition that you start behaving like an adult. It's cards on the table now, you will be straight with me. <em>Is that understood?</em></p>
<p><em><Moose turns to face Alsvart, who nods sagely.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Good.</p>
<p><em><Moose sits down in her chair. Alsvart rubs her right eye.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Did you hear what happened to Site-118?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>(despondent)</em> Yes, tragic.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> It is, more and more common nowadays. Yet all things considered <em><Pause.></em> I think they got lucky. I'm saying this on the record since only you and I will have access to it — I think it's a little unfair.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Even you can only give me thirty minutes a day, even with your life at risk. We all signed away our right to fair treatment at the door.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Every day I'm surprised when you still walk into work, talking like that. No, not in that sense. I'll never resign to some omen, but let's say, hypothetically, that my time's nearly up. I really don't appreciate the heads up, frankly.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I did say sorr—</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Not from <strong>you</strong>, dummy. From <em>it</em>. Why show up… however long in advance, to tell me that I'm dying and there's nothing I can do about it? If death stepped through <em>that</em> door and said to me "Time's up." all I'd want is a word in before I go. Maybe an elbow too, just to see how far I could get.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>(sarcastically)</em> Really?</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> 'Death' in this case referring to the actual immutable force of fate here to collect its due — that due being me. Were an anthropomorphic or some otherwise manifest 'death' to come through… <em><Moose taps her coat pocket.></em> Every director carries a little something for the occasion. It's a bit of a fifty-fifty, but if we do go down, it won't be alone. My point being, no matter her form, in her unflinching face, death is just death. That's fine with me. But now? This thing, it's forcing me to wallow in it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> And you don't think there's anything that can be done?</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Like I just said, <em>I will not</em> resign my fate to an omen.</p>
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> We could always decommission it. For all we know this thing is only manifesting a subset of a fylgja's conceptual qualities. My family has no history with anything similar to it, which, if it's real, they probably should've. At least to some extent. It might be… a behavioral lynch-pin to which an entity — I — am anomalously attracted. No lynch-pin, no pull. Besides, we've seen no evidence of fate having any part in this, it could be a wholly behavioral/temporal anomaly.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Or, equally likely…</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I go down with the pin. Yeah.</p>
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> But that's why you're here, Reine. You're the expert. This is it, time to lay your cards on the table for me. What do they say?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>I hope that's not the only reason you keep me around.</em> Fine, fine.</p>
<p><em><Alsvart is silent for a while.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> In your dream, you refused this figure, who had come for you. Why?</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> It obfuscated itself. Only presented itself to me as some vague form. How could I trust it? Never showed me its face, not even its real figure.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Figure— it's a bit much to ask on your first dream, no?</p>
<p><em><Moose looks away briefly from the camera.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> <strong>My point being</strong>: it didn't strike my dreaming mind as very… 'guiding'. It was hiding from me.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I did actually <em>read</em> your transcript, you know. You're skipping a couple things.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> It was a dream, Reine. No one's really themselves when suffering a severe case of disjunctive cognition.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I'd have to contest that, it's in our dreams when we're freed of our inhibitions! Dreams are where our suppressions come to dance and taunt our childish denials of their existence. There's a truth in that dream, Tilda. And you couldn't hear yourself say it.</p>
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Well, I… I don't even know what I was trying to say. It was just… some desire to— to say anything at all. But I guess there was nothing to say.</p>
<p><em><A notification on Moose's phone interrupts her. She grabs it from her pocket and glances at the screen before quickly returning it. Alsvart looks on with a smug and curious smile.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Care to share with the class, young woman?</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> <em><Sighing deeply.></em> Just another SCP-8855 activity update. Let's move on.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Trying your best to ignore it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I refuse to legitimize it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Did you know that when an animal fylgja dies, it's said that a part of her owner — who is soon to follow — has already moved across that threshold. They exist in this… liminal sphere on their way into another world. In this condition, their typical behaviors and attitude changes. So, someone of few words might become one of many, for example.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> You're suggesting we decommission SCP-8855 in order to make me into a better speaker?</p>
<p><em><Alsvart laughs.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>(gleefully)</em> No, sweetheart. Of course not. I'm laying the cards on the table for you. Have <strong>any</strong> of its behaviors diverged from your own?</p>
<p><em><Moose sighs deeply.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> No. Though I stopped reading them a couple hours ago.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Just like with the dream, Tilda, I don't think denial is the ideal approach.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I'm well aware of what this is, I deny nothing. I simply don't <em>particularly</em> enjoy regular updates on how precisely I'm going to be acting in the immediate future. Conjures one too many memories of McDoctorate's cafeteria lectures on determinism at Site-17. Among other things.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Why don't we take a live look instead then?</p>
<p><em><Before Moose can react, Alsvart jumps out of her seat, quickly reaching the office window in order observe SCP-8855. Moose plants her elbows on her desk, and her face in the palm of her hands. In its enclosure, SCP-8855 appears frustrated, biting branches off the tree within its enclosure and throwing them away. It suddenly stops, standing still for a bit before walking away, slowly.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I see. <em><Turning to Moose.></em> Well don't get frustrated with me yet, I haven't done anything!</p>
<p><em><Moose's head remains in the palm of her hands. She is completely still, save for the occasional wave-like twitch of her upper-body. She's sobbing.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Tilda? <em><She pauses, taking a step closer.></em> Tilda, I'm sorry.</p>
<p><em><Alsvart continues to step closer to Moose.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I'm truly sorry.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Sorry for <strong>what?</strong> You haven't done <em>anything</em>. You're having the time of your life just fucking around!</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> It's not—</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> <em>What have you done so far besides torment me?</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I swear I was— I was trying to lighten the mood.</p>
<p><em><Alsvart cups Moose's head in one hand as she seizes a gentle hold of her chin with the other.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> It's just, when I'm here, with you… after so long. I can't contain myself.</p>
<p><em><With her thumb, Alsvart wipes a lone tear from the Director's cheek. Moose arrests Alsvart's arm, grabbing and pulling it down away from her face, looking up into her eyes. They pause.></em></p>
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> You shouldn't flirt with your boss, it's unbecoming.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>(Under breath)</em> So now you have things to say…</p>
<p><em><Moose lets go of Alsvart's arm with a gentle flare, establishing an illusion of distance with the application of a soft pressure on her body, before gesturing firmly to the empty seat.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Sit.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Yes ma'am.</p>
<p><em><Alsvart makes her way, slowly, around the table and sits down opposite to Moose, who rubs her eyes of remnant tears before resting her arms on the table.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Tell me exactly what I told you at the start of this meeting.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> "Cards on the table."</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> <em>Start behaving like an adult.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> What's more adult than being straight with someone? I may not be the Black Queen herself, but I can certainly—</p>
<p><em><With a flat affect and moist eyes Moose stares unflinchingly through Alsvart, who seems to take the hint. She drops her grin, and readjusts herself before she continues speaking.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I apologize for my behavior, Director. I'll get right back to it for you. But this figure in your dreams, there is no doubt in my mind it <em>is</em> your fylgja, like SCP-8855. Though SCP-8855 is only a mirror of yourself — a guide — this figure? They are your <em>guardian</em>.</p>
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I know you feel stuck, Tilda. But you're not alone. You just need to grab the hand that's reaching for you.</p>
<p><em><Alsvart reaches across the table and grabs a hold of Moose's hand.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Trust me.</p>

Welling up inside me, butterflies, a desire to get its attention. I almost speak, refraining only in a tacit knowledge that it's already upon me. I… want to see what she sees.

My hushed heartbeat spikes and I'm on my feet; I've forgotten why I'm here. I recall nothing except: her singular touch, clutch, and erasure of drifting tears. The forest encircles me utterly, again.

I know what I… don't know who she is… no, I know. I know she'll keep me safe. I need to reach out. I don't know what I don't know. I'm missing something. That voice, God, that voice. What am I missing? It does something to me. Who am I missing? I don't know who she isn't, she… isn't, no. I know it's not. Not her. I'm missing the forest for the trees.

<p><em><Sitting by the Director's desk, Alsvart is reading from a paper file: the transcript of Moose's dream. In her seat, Moose appears embarrassed, lethargic, covering her eyes in shame as she looks to the floor.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> That is, uh… wow. I'm not sure where to begin.</p>
<p><em><Moose looks up and uncovers her eyes, but continues to avoid eye-contact with Alsvart.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Yeah… <em><clearing throat.></em> Well archetypically you tend to have something inappropriate to say about my personal life, or perhaps some semi-ironic negging to sprinkle in there before our work can begin.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <em><strong>Ironic?</strong></em> <em><with frustrated theatrics, Alsvart raises and drops the document on Moose's desk.></em> And I object to this accusation of 'negging'. Just because you cried doesn't make it <em>negging</em>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Reine, I was j—</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Someone's just been a little sensitive lately, haven't they?</p>
<p><em><Silence. Moose musters the courage to look Alsvart in the eye.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> With every day that passes — your professionalism — it never fails to floor me. How'd you wake up this morning?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I've yet to ascertain if I have. Surely, I must be stuck in some nightmare.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> <strong><em>Alright</em></strong>, I get it. It's time we calm this down a little, Reine. What's <em>wrong</em> with you?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>Something</em> is, indeed, wrong, Director. But it's not with me. My friend isn't listening to me and is putting her life in danger as a result. Why wouldn't you just follow the figure? <em>Like I told you to do?</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I do apologize, <em>Professor Alsvart</em>, I'm not a lucid dreamer. My subconscious is in control down there, not this waking mind you're talking to right now. It seems, clearly, that my subconscious, for one reason or another, is simply unconvinced.</p>
<p><em><Alsvart prepares to say something, stopping herself just before she opens her mouth to speak.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Speak.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Just… explain it to me. What <em>were you</em> thinking?</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> You—</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Understand, I'm not judging. I just need to know what these thought processes of yours are and <strong>why</strong> this is happening. Now that this waking mind I'm speaking to is here, how does it rationalize the mess on that piece of paper?</p>
<p><em><Moose prepares to speak, and similarly stops just before she opens her mouth. She takes a while, formulating her thoughts, seemingly processing some degree of shame.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I— I uh… Sorry. I know— I think that I thought… I thought it was—</p>
<p><em><Alsvart smiles and places her hand over Moose's, who pauses, and takes a deep breath.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I think I thought it was… you. The figure. I thought it was you.</p>
<p><em><Silence. Barely visible, Moose's face reddens ever so slightly></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <em><strong>Me?</strong></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> <em>(cheerfully)</em> Yes, <em>you</em>, Reine.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> You really— You think that the… that it was me?</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I don't know… you don't think it's plausible?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> You're absolutely sure? You didn't think of <em>anyone else?</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Who else would I be thinking about?</p>
<p><em><Silence. With a concerned expression, Alsvart speaks.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I really… I don't know.</p>
<p><em><Moose's smile suddenly drops and she withdraws her hand from the desk, Alsvart's moving ever so slightly in its direction before stopping.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I'm sorry. I… shouldn't have said that.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> No! No, don't apologize, Tilda…</p>
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>(sternly)</em> <strong>Tilda.</strong> That wasn't—</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I understand completely. That was… unprofessional. I'm your boss. This wasn't okay of me. I apologize if I made you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in any way.</p>
<p><em><With a pitiful frown, Alsvart tilts her head as she speaks.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Tilda, <em>please</em>. Stop it. Do you think of yourself <strong>at all</strong> anymore? If anything, I've been much worse. Frankly, I'm shocked you haven't thrown me out of your office; the way I've been behaving.</p>
<p><em><With a stern expression, Moose's body stiffens as she looks down at the table.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I am the Director of Site-19. The largest and most powerful facility in the largest and most powerful organization on Earth. Holding me to the highest of standards should be nothing less than insufficient. How I've acted… to one of my employees— <em><Moose cringes visibly at her own words.></em> <tt><em>fuck</em></tt>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> I said stop it! I'm more than just one of your employees, Tilda.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> You're free to leave, Professor Alsvart. It's not right of me to keep you here, you don't need to stay.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>Excuse me?</em> I don't give a shit, <em>(mocking)</em> <em>'Director Moose'!</em> Have you forgotten completely what's going on right now?! <strong><em>Your life is in danger</em></strong>, shit-for-brains! I'm here to help you.</p>
<p><em><Moose says nothing.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> Fine. I understand, you don't need to say anything. Just listen. If you truly need your waking mind to go through with this. Tonight, when you go to bed, recite the following over and over as you drift away: <em>"Mind awake, body asleep."</em> Got it?</p>
<p><em><Moose nods. Alsvart sits silently for a while before standing up. She looks at Moose, despondently. She begins moving around the desk, but is stopped as Moose indicates for her to go no further.></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Prof. Alsvart:</strong></span> There's no more tiptoeing around this, Tilda. You need to choose.</p>
<p><em><Alsvart leaves through the door, leaving it wide open behind her. For hours, Moose sits, staring blankly at this threshold.></em></p>

<p>—ind awake. Body asleep. I mutter to myself as I step lethargically through the grassy field outside Site-19. I stop to grab a mirror from my pocket. Looking at myself, I see nothing. I have no mirror. I've never owned a mirror. I'm dreaming. Awake. Why am I walking by the forest's edge? It isn't surrounding me anymore. I must be searching for her. In the face of my dwindling agency, I feel a profound shame. Where is she? Again the forest stretches from one end of the horizon to the other. I can only imagine its confinement to have been a product of my subconscious fears, then. A fear that it was a thing impending; my prophesied doom. Is that why I hesitated? Faced now with a simple threshold, I know I have a choice.</p>
<p>I leave, with her.</p>
<p>Or I stay, and die.</p>
<p>The forest is not the death I had feared, it is the field. The forest is her refuge for me. I turn to her, knowing she'll be there.</p>
<p>She stands, again, on the treeline. I see her clearer now, with a waking mind. The visage remains just as incomprehensible as the one gleamed by my subconscious — like seeing several of the same person beneath a layer of no one at all.</p>
<p>I can think of no one but Alsvart—</p>
<p>—and Alison. Why am I thinking of Alison? Stop it. Enough. Stop it. Shut up. Stop thinking.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>Perhaps my mind's not quite as awake as I'd thought. I tend to have more self-control. More… control.</p>
<p>But I have no control, only a binary choice. Leave, or die. Can I really just leave? It hasn't been said, but I know it, tacitly. That if I take her hand I will be leaving it all behind. The Foundation, my co-workers, friends…</p>
<p>Just because I want to live?</p>
<p>No, of course not. Even in my subconscious I knew to repress it, to childishly deny its existence. I want to go — I want to live. I want to do it with <em>her</em>. With… Alsvart. Would she come with me? Is that selfish? No, I don't care. Why should I? I deserve to be happy… I deserve to <em>let myself.</em> The world doesn't need me at its helm. I've done enough. Hurt enough…</p>
<p>I've hurt so many people… for control. Control. Is that why I work here? To control things? I couldn't control the library, I couldn't control… Alison.</p>
<p>And that scared me. I needed… control. I needed the Foundation. But I can't even control myself, anymo— stop it. I need to stop trying. I need to give up control.</p>
<p>Is that what all this was about? Is that why SCP-8855 came here? To take my— Oh, right. She's waiting for me, isn't she? She's standing right in front of me.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> I don't know who you are, even now. Why do I want to leave with you?</p>
<p>She extends to me, her hand. I can only imagine it turning a page as I sit with her in silence, reading a book.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>???:</strong></span> Of course you know who I am, Tilda. Why do you think I've come to dance here, in your dreams?</p>
<p>I give her a confused look, and rather than taking her hand, I pull her into my embrace.</p>

<div class="blockquote" style="background-image: url(http://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/local--files/theme:eventyr-theme/HCAbackground.png)">
<p>I'm awoken by a blaring alarm. It's coming from my phone. A priority alert.</p>
<p>"SCP-8855 has demanifested."</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>Will I?</p>
<p>Has a piece of me crossed that threshold?</p>
<p>I walk to the window. Just as it says, SCP-8855 is nowhere to be seen.</p>
<p>But there is… someone. Standing on the treeline beyond its paddock. Not a figure, but a person.</p>
<p>Reine.</p>
<p>Is that really her? Is she looking at me? What is she doing?</p>
<p>She turns away from me, and she steps into the forest. Just like that, what final shred of control that might've remained leaves my body. I can't stand still, not here. I need to get to her. I can't lose her. I need to hurry— <strong>I need to run.</strong> Through the open door and through the populated corridors flooded with my co-workers, I don't have time to look at any of them. I consider only, for a moment, what they might've once thought, were their director to do such a thing.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>Outside, I cross the fields in no time — the grass giving way to shrubbery — but I don't stop at the forest's edge. I don't stop. I trip. I get up. I don't stop. I yell her name. I hear nothing but echos and trampled bushes beneath my feet.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>Already I'm deep within the forest, the light from the forest's edge long gone. I've reached the foot of a mountain. I slow down as I happen upon a wooden trail. The ground, it feels like I'm at sea. Seeing footsteps, I follow them. Up. They go up.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<img alt="steps.jpg" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/local--files/scp-8855/steps.jpg" style="align: center;" width="100%"/>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>Is this who I am now? A person who chases after someone. Is that who I am, in that sphere?</p>
<p>Step by step. I can see the top now.</p>
<p>I'm exhausted, I know I am. I must be. Should be… but I can only feel those butterflies. Consuming all else within me.</p>
<p>It's here.</p>
<p>I've made it. There she is, on a plateau, I see her. Kneeling before an overlook, rays of sunlight from the dawning sun before us darkening her silhouette.</p>
<p>I run to her.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Dir. Moose:</strong></span> Hey… why are you—</p>
<p>—crying? Did I do this? Is this because of me? What I did? You stupid fucking moron. Why did you do this to her? You have to <strong>fix this.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>(in a blubbering sob)</em> <strong>I'm sorry!</strong> Gh-od. Pl— please, forgive me. I'm so sorry. Tilda. <em><she pauses, gasping for air.></em> I cou— I could— <em>I couldn't do it anymore.</em></p>
<p>Is she talking about SCP-8855?</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> You did everything you could, love. It's okay. I'm here, it's alright.</p>
<p>I kneel down behind her and wrap my arms tightly around her waist. Immediately she grabs onto them, as if her life depended on it. I drag her closer to me. I feel her warmth and her whimper. She's so warm… so soft. I place my head on her shoulder. Instantly she cuddles closer to me. Rubbing her cheek slowly against mine.</p>
<p>We just need some time.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>Her whimper softens.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>Her breathing slows.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> You're okay.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alsvart:</strong></span> I'm sorry.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> <em>Why?</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>I made you leave.</em> I tried for so long. I tried to do it, I tried to be like you. I tried to be like… <em><She begins to sob again.></em> <strong><em>I can't.</em></strong> I can't do it!</p>
<p>Like me? What is she talking about?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alsvart:</strong></span> But… I still needed you.</p>
<p>Those words. Said in that voice. The butterflies within me grow more restless than ever.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> I came here <em>for you.</em> I never left.</p>
<p>I don't ever want to.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> And what do you mean you 'tried to be like' me? What couldn't you do?</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alsvart:</strong></span> Tilda— <em><She fails to contain her whimpering.></em> I need you to tell me who I am.</p>
<p><em>Who you are?</em> That's simple. You're—</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> —my Reine.</p>
<p>I place a gentle kiss on her cheek, and she bursts into tears.</p>
<p>Shit.</p>
<p>What did I do?</p>
<p>Quickly I let her go and take a step back. She falls forward, gripping her stomach. Her cries morphing into a violent sob as her forehead comes in contact with the dirt. I don't know what to do. <em>What did I do?</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alsvart:</strong></span> <em>Tilda.</em></p>
<p>Her scream freezes me in place. I've only ever heard it… once before. I don't understand.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> <em>You're Reine.</em></p>
<p>Really? You're gonna lie to yourself?</p>
<p>But she is!</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alsvart:</strong></span> <strong>Tell me!</strong></p>
<p>Yes, she is. Like an interobject, your mind's had difficulty differentiating her behavior, her image, from—</p>
<p>Please, don't make me say it.</p>
<p>You've denied her existence, but there she is. Sobbing at your feet. It's her.</p>
<p>She's—</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alsvart:</strong></span> I'm—</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> Alison.</p>
<p>Before my eyes this woman that I've known for years, without changing even slightly, becomes someone else.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> I tried for so long. <em>I tried working at the Foundation.</em> I tried to be there, to create someone who could be part of the thing that took everyone I loved away from me. I wanted them to be with Dad… with <strong>you</strong>. So that even if <em>I</em> could never be with you, someone else could. I tried to be that someone else.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>She raises her head.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> But I could never be anyone but myself. I couldn't bear it. Existing in a place like that. And you… talking to me like I wasn't me. I had to leave… but I needed you. <em><She turns to me.></em> I needed you to come with me.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> <em><strong>SAY SOMETHING!</strong></em></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>How could you…</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> What have you done?</p>
<p>She stands.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> Look at me, Tilda. I'm the same Alison that—</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> Not another word.</p>
<p>I can't listen to this. I can't talk to her. I can't stay here.</p>
<p>Reine wasn't real. No, of course she was. She <em>was</em> real. She was Alison. And you loved her. You fucking moron. You knew the whole time, didn't you? What, was it easier just not admitting it to yourself? <em>ARE YOU LITERALLY BLIND?!</em> She was exactly the same, but she hadn't made any of <em>her</em> mistakes. So what? You thought it'd be <em>different</em> this time?</p>
<p>Was any of it real? SCP-8855? It knew how I would act— or did she just know me? Was there any omen at all? Any threat to my life? The dreams — the figure.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Reine</span>.</p>
<p>I want to cry. I know I do. I need to.</p>
<p>No. Stop it.</p>
<p>Control yourself.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> But I can be better. I promise. I— I can still be someone else! If fate won't let you and I be together, I swear I'll do it. I promise, we can…</p>
<p>Pretend?</p>
<p>Is that what I've been doing?</p>
<p>No. She lied to me. I didn't know.</p>
<p>Sure you didn't.</p>
<p>I <em><strong>didn't!</strong></em></p>
<p>I'm gonna be sick.</p>
<p>It's too much. I turn away, back to the wooden steps. And I walk.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> You can't fix something by just walking away!</p>
<p>Alison cries. Under her breath, I can hear her speak. But I hear nothing of what she says. I can't be there for her.</p>
<p>The stairs ahead become a bright, dawning star in the space of a single blink. I stand upon the same overlook as <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Reine</span> had when I found her, knelt down in the dirt. I turn to see Alison standing now before the stairway I had just approached.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> You <strong>don't understand</strong>, Tilda. How <em>alone</em> I'll be, without you. I don't know him anymore, that man who goes by my father's name. There's nothing left of the man who raised me. Or maybe I never really knew him. But you're still you. I have no one— <em>no one</em> but you.</p>
<p>Don't do this.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> <em>Please.</em></p>
<p>Please don't do this.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> <em>Please don't leave me.</em></p>
<p>Please stop…</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> My love—</p>
<p><em>Don't call me that.</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> <em><She begins moving toward me>.></em> I know it can work. Fate? I figured it out. It's like your Foundation. Desperate to control. But you're proof, Tilda. Proof that it's not all-consuming. It can be made to open its hand, to forget. We can be proof of fate's fickle grip, together. I told you—</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alsvart:</strong></span> —I can still be someone else.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> Shut up! Don't you dare speak to me in her voice…</p>
<p>You sadistic piece of…</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alsvart:</strong></span> But our voices are the same—</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> —they always were. Even if you think you didn't know, Tilda. Some part of you did.</p>
<p>She's right in front of you. She has you cornered. In all but her direction you're met with a steep drop and a long fall. Did she design it this way? There's no turning around and walking away, the only way out is through… her. You need to speak, Tilda. Speak. Say something. Anything. Maybe…</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> Maybe some part of me did know… and maybe you really do need me. But it's not my responsibility to fix you. You've promised and promised and left them all shattered on the ground beneath your feet. How could you possibly think — even for a moment <em>imagine</em> — that after everything you've done… we could just be together? Because you found some new trick? Something that will finally let you dupe fate? What you've done isn't just another lie, or broken promise, Alison. You <strong>duped <em>me</em></strong>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> But I <em>can—</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> <strong>Understand.</strong> This is not fate speaking, this was not preordained. I am telling you this, now. In my own words.</p>
<p>It was a wilful thing, having never said this out loud. Is it not best, perhaps, for you to leave it unsaid just once more? Just for the chance that…</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> You and I—</p>
<p>No. I can't make that same mistake… just to stoke some dying light. I can never let her… I can never let myself have a way in again.</p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> —we can never be together.</p>
<p>And I see there somehow, in the Black Queen herself, a light goes out.</p>
<p>As it does in me.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p>So now you have nothing to say…</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #26592b"><strong>Moose:</strong></span> I'm leaving.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> No.</p>
<p><em>No?</em></p>
<p>I look to her side, and I take my step. Yet she blocks my path without a step of her own.</p>
<p>In every direction I step, I look, she — and she, alone — stands before me.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000"><strong>Alison:</strong></span> <em>(in her sternest of tones)</em> You leave with me. Or not at all.</p>
<p>She knows it won't work. Why is she doing this? You saw it. She knows we can't.</p>
<p>And yet, unflinchingly, she stares at me.</p>
<p>We're doing this.</p>
<p>Already in my hand, grabbed out of my coat pocket — a device — activated.</p>
<p>She moves, without moving.</p>
<p>Pulling me into her e—</p>

<div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:260px;"><img alt="Couteau-econome.jpg" class="image" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Couteau-econome.jpg"/>

<p>SCP-8866</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8866 is stored in its containment locker at Site-73 when not being utilised.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8866 is a standard vegetable peeler.</p>
<p>When SCP-8866 is used on a living entity<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> as it would to peel a vegetable, the resulting matter emerging out of the peeler will be that of a common vegetable (Potato, carrot, turnip, etc). SCP-8866 has proven capable of being used on all sections of the body, allowing<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> entire subjects to be reduced to vegetable matter. Peelings are non-anomalous and safe for consumption.</p>
<p>In some cases, the physical nature of subjects exposed to SCP-8866’s properties determine the quality of the peelings produced. For example: elderly test subjects will always yield considerably older vegetable skins when compared to young adults, whilst still being edible.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum:</strong> SCP-8866 was found in the possession of Ms. Janice Baxter, a local unhoused person residing in New York, United States. Three years prior, Ms. Baxter ran a soup kitchen specialising in vegetarian/vegan menu options. In 2011, the establishment was shutdown due to several health and safety violations regarding signs of animal infestation.</p>
<p>Ms. Baxter’s status remained mostly unknown until 2013, when reported for stealing food on several occasions, primarily targeting eateries specialising in meat options. This occurred multiple times over a span of eight months, before ceasing abruptly. Local authorities later discovered that she had been residing under a local bridge since her business’s closing. Ms. Baxter was discovered deceased, having died of exposure (allegedly self-inflicted). Foundation interference was approved following reports of rats in the area featuring partly vegetative biology.</p>
<p>SCP-8866 was found amongst a pile of Ms. Baxter’s clothes, alongside 6kg of rotten vegetable peelings, confirmed to be that of baby carrots.</p>

<p><tt>SCP-8869 investigation, c. 1967</tt></p>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8869</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Dedicated Artificial Intelligence Conscript <a href="/humint">FLOORBOARDS.aic</a> has been assigned to analyze and cross-reference provided SCP-8869 instances with cases outside the Foundation's jurisdiction. Ongoing cases, "cold" cases, and conventionally solved cases both in the criminal and civil circuits are included in its databank.</p>
<p>Conclusive leads are to be immediately reported to the SCP-8869 Research Team, currently located at <a href="/but-a-dream">Site-433.</a></p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8869 designates a collection of sixteen (16) American police reports brought to the attention of the Foundation during a 2024 information exchange with the Federal Bureau of Investigation Unusual Incidents Unit. The details of this exchange remain restricted to personnel with 4/BLUE ROSE Clearance.</p>
<p>The files describe a series of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">unrelated</span> unsolved murders occurring in a variety of locations between December of 1967 and October of 2022. None of the individuals mentioned within these documents appear to exist — despite this, corroborative evidence suggests the homicides described did in fact occur in the area they were reported.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Addendum — Selected SCP-8869 Instances</strong></p>
<p>The following is a summary of five (5) SCP-8869 casefiles. For access to the full SCP-8869 database, contact your on-site RAISA Liaison.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Casefile Designation:</strong> 8869-450293</p>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 10/5/2022</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> Los Angeles, California</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> At 2300, local hairdresser Catherine “Kitty” Woodhouse leaves her local movie theater, having viewed the popular 1960 horror film <em>Psycho</em>. It was reportedly her favorite movie and she had seen it thirty-seven (37) times since its opening.</p>
<p>At 2304, Woodhouse receives a call from her mother, Betty Woodhouse. They speak on Betty’s recent divorce.</p>
<p>At 2311, Woodhouse’s mother’s phone dies and the call abruptly stops.</p>
<p>At 2315, Woodhouse enters a 711 convenience store and purchases one (1) pack of sour gummy bears (Haribo brand). She pays in cash and while doing so was reported to make casual flirtations with the clerk, Francine Bates.</p>
<p>She leaves at 2320, eating her candy.</p>
<p>At 2325, Woodhouse stops and throws out her bag of gummy bears, now empty.</p>
<p>At 2339, while walking near Kennedy Alley, Woodhouse is set upon by an unknown masked assailant and stabbed three (3) times in the back with a sharpened butcher’s knife. Arthur Franklin, an electrician living in the area, claimed he could hear Woodhouse screaming but did not intervene as he believed that it was merely a domestic dispute. Franklin’s testimony is considered suspect due to the fact that Woodhouse’s lungs were punctured, meaning that she would be unable to scream loudly enough to be heard.</p>
<p>Woodhouse collapsed to the ground and was kicked in the sides at least four times by the assailant. While this was happening, Woodhouse removed her personal cell phone from her pocket and used it to take three (3) photos of the assailant. However, poor lighting quality combined with damage to the phone after-the-fact have resulted in the near-uselessness of this evidence. It is believed that at this point Woodhouse lapsed into unconsciousness and the assailant killed her by stabbing her through the chest at least five (5) times, puncturing several internal organs. Following this, a number of injuries were inflicted upon her post-mortem:</p>
<ul>
<li>The peeling of the skin from her face. It was discovered three (3) feet from her body, with approximately half of it bitten off;</li>
<li>The gouging out of Woodhouse’s eyes;</li>
<li>The severing of her right index finger and right pinky. They were found thrown into a trash receptacle seven (7) blocks west of the crime scene;</li>
<li>The forcing of a DVD copy of an unknown film down her throat. It broke on its way down, causing severe lacerations to her throat;</li>
<li>Further opening of Woodhouse’s chest via the knife. Her left kidney was removed. It has not been recovered;</li>
<li>The carving of the phrase “This is where she died” into Woodhouse’s lower torso;</li>
</ul>
<p>Several times throughout the night, Woodhouse’s mother attempts to call her. There is no answer.</p>
<p>The body was found at 0732 the next day by locals during their morning commute, covered in dried blood and autumn leaves. Woodhouse's corpse was identified by Caelum Knight, her landlord. The assailant was nowhere to be found.</p>

<p><strong>Casefile Designation:</strong> 8869-300812</p>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 12/7/2020</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> Santa Monica, California</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> At 0200, a fishing trawler grounds itself on the Santa Monica State Beach. It is in a state of dilapidation, and carries approximately ninety (90) kilograms of <em>Entosphenus tridentatus</em> (pacific lamprey), sorted into thirteen (13) wooden boxes strewn across it upper decks.</p>
<p>At 0245, emergency services arrive to assess the situation. Two (2) paramedics and four (4) police officers boarded the ship — upon entering the captain's quarters below decks at 0255, the corpse of American animator and voice actor Justin Roiland was discovered.</p>
<p>Roiland's body had been turned fully inside out, with the tendons, eyeballs, and skeletal system having been cleanly removed. All blood had been drained from the body.</p>
<p>In his left hand was his cellphone, with a video file opened in his Photos app.</p>
<p>The video, apparently filmed by the victim himself, took place in a desert at night. Six (6) pickup trucks were assembled in a circle around a bonfire. Though other individuals are present in the video, they are indistinct. Roiland, inebriated, communicates with a woman off-screen about the 2016 election. He suddenly stumbles, then plummets, having been standing on the lift of a pickup truck the whole time. When he stands, he is alone — the six (6) other pickup trucks, the bonfire, and the other individuals have seemingly disappeared. A howling is heard in the distance, which he approaches. He comes across a large pack of <em>Canis lupus</em> (Californian gray wolves); the pack surrounds him and proceeds to engage in typical prey-battering behavior. Once Roiland is knocked down (at which point he drops his phone in the sand dunes), audio suggests he is attacked and eaten by the pack.</p>
<p>The video's metadata states it was taken in Nevada at 0600.</p>

<p><strong>Casefile Designation:</strong> 8869-238321</p>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 21/10/2020</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> Oakland, California</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> At 1230, Southwest Airlines pilot Erika Naylor lands Flight 594 successfully. The one hundred eighty-seven (187) passengers slowly began exiting the plane. At 1252, the plane is empty save for airline staff.</p>
<p>Naylor exits the plane at 1255, complaining of a stomach ache. She reportedly had been acting strangely during the previous flight, being atypically withdrawn. This was the last time she was seen alive.</p>
<p>Her absence became noticed at 1306 by the flight crew, as she had another flight scheduled. At 1312, 1333, and 1341, Naylor was called by multiple members of the flight crew. There was no answer. At 1346, a search commenced.</p>
<p>At 1445, Naylor was found dead within the ladies room at Terminal 27F with the stall door locked. Seven (7) deep scratches were found gouged into the floor. Origin unclear. Her lipstick was smeared across the wall and found to have been mixed with the blood of at least two (2) unknown individuals.</p>
<p>Cause of death was later determined to be asphyxiation resulting from strangulation. Materials recovered from Naylor's handbag led to speculation that she was interrupted in the middle of a suicide attempt. As Naylor was described by her peers as an extremely cheerful individual who had just gotten engaged to her fiancé, fellow pilot David Goldman, reasons for this remain unclear. Her face displayed an expression of extreme terror. There were no other wounds.</p>
<p>Witnesses who were within Terminal 27F's ladies room at roughly the time of Naylor's murder vehemently denied seeing her enter the bathroom or hearing any signs of a struggle. Due to several documents pertaining to this case being lost in a filing mishap, their names have not been recorded.</p>
<p>Several travellers within Oakland International Airport later reported witnessing an "inverted plane" crashing into the sky. Meaning unclear.</p>

<p><strong>Casefile Designation:</strong> 8869-332042</p>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 1/12/1986</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> Healdsburg, California</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> At 0825, the neighbors of private investigators Stella and Stanley Beaumont notice a strange and unusual smell coming from the Beaumonts' apartment. It is described as similar to "grave dirt" and rotting meat. One neighbor, Jacob Fitzpatrick, phones the building superintendent, Mariya Columbo, to complain. They have a brief phone conversation in which Columbo complains about the early hour but agrees to visit the Beaumonts and pass on the complaint.</p>
<p>At 0845, Columbo makes her way to the Beaumont apartment and knocks repeatedly on their door. The door is locked and there is no answer.</p>
<p>At 0852, the muffled voices of the Beaumonts were heard behind their apartment door, although they did not respond to the superintendent's voice. This was later discovered to be the playing of an analog tape recorder. The recording was damaged later that day and its contents are unknown. It is unclear how the recorder was turned on, as there was no one in the apartment.</p>
<p>At 0904, Columbo calls the police, who arrive at 0916.</p>
<p>At 0923, the Beaumonts are discovered in the center of their living room with their throats slit, wearing formal clothing. Later investigation revealed that they were wearing the garb that they had worn at their 1992 wedding.</p>
<p>Autopsy revealed that they had been dead for approximately five (5) days. It also showed that their lips and hands had been crudely stitched together with black thread. Cause of death determined to be blood loss.</p>
<p>Their next door neighbor, Robert Cartwright II, was briefly suspected due to an obsessive infatuation he was known to have for Stanley, but was released due to a certain piece of evidence becoming unusable for an unknown reason.</p>

<p><strong>Casefile Designation:</strong> 8869-544278</p>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 5/3/1994</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> San Luis Obispo County, California</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> At 1325, Diablo Canyon Power Plant security officer Sandra Starling is contacted by the plant's surveillance personnel and alerted that an unidentified individual was spotted near the nuclear waste disposal systems. At 1327, she begins her journey to the area for investigation, remarking to the surveillance personnel that she suspects it to be mundane trespassing, assuming the individual to be one of the plant's frequent protestors.</p>
<p>At 1331, as Starling is travelling to the waste disposal systems, she is contacted once more by the surveillance personnel that the trespasser was seen launched into the systems by a second unidentified individual, who quickly exits from the camera's view. Starling quickens her pace and orders the personnel to call local law enforcement, firefighters, and paramedics for assistance. She readies her weapon.</p>
<p>At 1336, Starling reaches the waste disposal, unable to spot the trespasser among the waste or the assailant. She contacts the security personnel, who reassure her that help is on the way. She continues to investigate the area, weapon drawn.</p>
<p>At 1342, first responders arrive to the scene.</p>
<p>At 1409, the trespasser's body is successfully recovered from the waste and is given to paramedics to be transported to the local hospital.</p>
<p>Due to the nature of the incident, the corpse was quarantined for several weeks due to its radioactivity.</p>
<p>The victim was unable to be identified during the subsequent autopsy, leaving her to be classified as a Jane Doe. Study of the body revealed the corpse to contain numerous stab wounds and miscellaneous lacerations which were not present on the security footage prior to the victim falling into the waste, which she would not have been able to otherwise receive. Notably, the corpse displayed no signs of radiation poisoning.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Addendum – Incident-2/5/2024-SCP-8869</strong></p>
<p>On 2/5/2024, several calls were made to the police precinct of northern ████████, California in which a low, androgynous voice stated "there is a <a href="/scp-7413">killer</a> on the loose" before hanging up.</p>
<p>The call was traced to the abandoned Polanski Arthouse Cinema and a team of five (5) Field Agents was dispatched.</p>
<p>Due to requisitional issues, the team was only provided one (1) analog tape recorder to record the exploration. Unfortunately, it was lost in the process of exploration and only the following notable details have been able to have been gleaned from witness testimony:</p>
<ul>
<li>All of the cinema's staff were plastic mannequins, dressed in appropriate attire;</li>
<li>Three (3) unidenified female cadavers were discovered in the men's bathroom in a stage of minor decay. The floors were caked in viscera. Wounds on the bodies suggested a link to Casefile-8869-450293;</li>
<li>The walls of the manager's office were covered in newspaper clippings and handwritten notes, related to an unsolved murder or murders that had occurred in the area;</li>
<li>Sound was heard in the building's one (1) theater and the team moved to investigate. The theater appeared to be playing the lost 1967 film <em>Voyeurism</em>;</li>
<li>The team viewed the film for approximately three (3) to five (5) minutes before being anomalously transported back to their vehicle, where they elected to drive back to Site-433;</li>
</ul>
<p>As of 07/12/2027, the SCP-8869 Investigative Team has been disbanded by the Budgetary Committee due to the lack of new discoveries. Research is not to be continued.</p>

<div class="collapsible-block-content">
<p>Hi everyone.</p>
<p>My boyfriend broke up with me two weeks ago so I've been watching a lot of movies to deal with the pain. I really like Ruggero Deodato!</p>
<p>I watch my movies on this comfy old spinny chair my mom ordered off Ebay and usually either pirate them on my computer or use my family's Netflix account. I own a really old VHS player but rarely use it unless I want to feel analog. While watching them, I turn the lights off and make myself popcorn. I make my popcorn with coconut oil since butter is too fatty and I'm trying to lose weight. Being fat is why my boyfriend broke up with me!</p>
<p>Movies are great for ignoring real life. While watching them you don't care about the outside world as much. It's pretty lucky for me that I managed to find out this trick since it's really easy to buy a gun in my region and I was considering going to his house, shooting his new girlfriend in the head, and then waiting for him to get back from his job at Macy's so I could murder him too. Afterwards I'm not sure whether or not I'd kill myself or if I'd turn myself over to the authorities.</p>
<p>But luckily I don't need to do that since I have movies!</p>
<p>Thanks for reading. ✌️</p>

First recorded activity of SCP-8870 was on 05/13/2024, when Mr. Karl Uzbekki, a known member of GoI-019 (”<a href="/serpent-s-hand-hub">The Serpent’s Hand</a>”),<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> heavily advocating for anti-Foundation and <a href="/goc-hub-page">Global Occult Coalition</a><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> sentiments online.

<p>The second encounter of the entity was on 12/04/2024, when a church service of GoI-004 (”<a href="/church-of-the-broken-god-hub">Church of the Broken God</a>”) ended in the deaths of six attendees. Surviving attendees reported the presence of a hooded figure in the back rows of the church.</p>
<p>The final sighting of SCP-8870, as of 01/10/2025, occurred on 01/03/2025, during the presidential election speech of Ms. Tori Frànk, culminating into Incident 8870-α. A recording of the event is located in Appendix [8870-002].<br/>

<hr/>
<p><strong>New York City, NY -</strong> Yesterday the entire paranormal community was shook with a senseless act of violence at the candidate of presidency, Tori Frànk. Mid-way through her speech, hundreds of supporters watched their symbol of hope turn into a slurry of blood and viscera by an unidentified perpetrator.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
Although major organizations in the paranormal scene have denied any involvement in the death of Tori Frànk, numerous people online and on the streets have voiced their concerns for the future of the paranormal in day-to-day life.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
”[…] I knew they always had it in them,” a former SCP Foundation researcher, who’d like to remain anonymous at this time, voices, ”[…] lock me up for what happened with <a href="/scp-096">096</a>, yet here they are shooting down a political head. Hypocrites… […]”<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
The Foundation has denied all involvement, while the Global Occult Coalition has yet to give an official statement. The <a href="/unusual-incidents-unit-hub">Unusual Incidents Unit</a> of the FBI has stated to investigate these matters further. ”[…] rest assured that the UIU will find the perpetrator of such a senseless crime […] and bring them to justice!” UIU captain Victor Freffrson says regarding these matters.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
Speculations about the possible involvement of the radical terrorist cell the Chaos Insurgency in the assassination have arisen alongside other rumors. Abu Ogondo, a Foundation researcher, has been cleared to discuss any questions at a later<br/>

<p><span style="color: white">Yeah, WATCHERS! Shadow’s BACK from vacation; and not a second late. as you all well know, Tori Frànk was MURKED yesterday in Central Park, NYC. Police say it was acid in her stomach, assailant ’unidentified’, so the media says at least.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: white">What if I were to tell who the assailant was? And it just so happens to be the same shady ass shadow organization that’s been ooerating behind our backs the whole time?

<p><strong><tt>PROJECT PROPOSAL</tt></strong></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>DATE:</strong> 01/16/2025</p>
<p><strong>CODENAME:</strong> ”GREY MATTER”</p>
<p><strong>PROPOSED BY:</strong> Dr. Hakari Mimko</p>
<hr/>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
I could sugarcoat this, but I’m not going to. Partly because all of the data is everywhere on the world-wide web, but mostly because a lot of innocent people’s lives are getting tits-up, just because they work for this organization.</p>
<p>The truth of the matter is: The public hates us — <em>has been</em> hating us ever since the glorious fuck-up over there in the East. And although that piece of the world did eventually come back, the millions of people on that piece did not. Everyone blamed us. Hell, some of the scientists and soldiers involved in the operation even blamed themselves. One to the heart, the other to the brain.</p>
<p>What people always seem to forget is that, although it was a tragedy, there was a reason for that tragedy. We didn’t just send North Korea up into another, inhospitable dimension without reason, but because it was our way of sparing billions more. As hard as it might be to believe this, we saved the world that day. We make the hard, downright unethical and cruel decisions, so that others don’t have to. We always did.</p>
<p>Which brings us again to 8870. The acid person, if it is human at all. This entity has been specifically targeting pro-anomaly figures in the public, making an example out of them; we don’t know why, given they are apparently anomalous themselves, but we do know to what purpose. It’s to rile up the masses into hating the Foundation. Even more than before.</p>
<p>Everywhere in the world, you see signs that say ”FUCK THE FOUNDATION” or ”CONTAINMENT is NOT PROTECTION”, or other similar stuff. On your way to work, on the radio, or some pop-up ad on your favorite porn site. They’re everywhere. And that is a problem. Suddenly, one looney-bin conspiracy theorist turns into dozens of looney-bin conspiracy theorists. Then a hundred, then a thousand — and that’s where the issues start to emerge.</p>
<p>It goes without saying that the last thing the Foundation needs is animal rights activists arriving at Site-19’s doors, advocating for the rights of <a href="/scp-682">682</a>.</p>
<p>Back to 8870, and the founding of the GREY MATTER Division. I propose the division to handle what the public cannot: Information. My team will sow any hateful regards toward the Foundation and feed the public new information that paints us as a necessary evil, like the sweet little free-thinkers they are.</p>
<p>We will make sure, 24/7, that the damage done by SCP-8870 will be repaired overnight. That no harm may stay. For the betterment of the world. For the greater good. For my sister and people like her out there.</p>
<p>I hope you take these words to heart, Overseers.<br/>

The project is deemed a waste of valuable resources and personnel, which could be allocated to more worth-while projects.

<hr/>
<p>First of all, congratulations on getting that vote of yours passed. Secondly, your little school science-y project’s been approved after a 100% vote for. With that 100% being me. Should’ve announced these news backwards, but I don’t really care.</p>
<p>Don’t ask any questions. You’ll get your funding, and facility, and personnel. In due time. Just hold your expectations low, then you can never be disappointed.</p>
<p>I have a daughter. Contained over at -19. She’d get into a lot of trouble with people that want her dead without the Foundation, no thanks to me. I need this. For <em>her</em>.</p>
<p>I hope you take these words to heart, Dr. Mimko.<br/>

<p><strong>MEETING 8870-A</strong></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>DATE:</strong> 01/20/2025</p>
<p><strong>LOCATION:</strong> [REDACTED]</p>
<p><strong>FOREWORD:</strong> Meeting of personnel in GREY MATTER Division. Led by Dr. Hakari Mimko.</p>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>[BEGIN RECORDING]</strong></p>
<hr/>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><em><Three figures sit at a small round table. Sunlight shines through the windows into the conference room, which is on the second floor of the facility.></em></p>
<p><em><Various miscellaneous objects are strewn about, such as chairs, tables, sofas, mannequins and mirrors, amongst other objects.></em></p>
<p><em><The three figures are, from left to right, Dr. Laura Schneider, Senior Technician Dohn Cavollo and Dr. Hakari Mimko.></em></p>
<p><em><Dr. Mimko looks at her wristwatch repeatedly, also looking in uneven intervals across the room and door. The others notice this behavior.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Excuse me, ma’am. Wasn’t the meeting supposed to start four minutes ago?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>(sighs)</em> Yes. We’re short one member.</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> Where are they?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> If I’d know, I’d have told you already.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Look… I’m sorry, Ms. Schneider—</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> Doctor.</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> —this whole topic is very dear to my heart… Can’t afford any hiccups.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Silence. Two more minutes pass without incident.></em></p>
<p><em><Cavollo and Schneider grow more disinterested by the minute. Cavollo pulls out his mobile phone, while Schneider examines her nails.></em></p>
<p><em><Dr. Mimko stands up, straightens her coat and walks over to the overhead projector at the opposite end of the room. Cavollo puts his phone away and Schneider focuses up.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> So, as our last member couldn’t make it in time, we’ll just begin without them.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><She turns the lights off and the projector on. An image of Tori Frànk is shown on the far wall.></em></p>
<p><em><Cavollo and Schneider straighten up in their seats.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> We all know her. Tori Frànk. Mother of three, 53, liked pottery—</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Wait, what? I didn’t know—</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>(raises voice)</em> —And we all know what happened to her.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><An image of Tori Frànk’s remains are shown, partially dissolving through the floor. Cavollo is seen turning away, muttering expletives in Spanish. Schneider remains in her position.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Her death shook the anomalous community. They didn’t take kindly to their figure of hope being turned into a slurry paste. And with the identity of the <em>true</em> assailant unknown, they turned to us, as you might’ve noticed with the increasing… <em>hate</em> at Foundation personnel.</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Just this month I got three shoeboxes delivered to my adress with a dead rat in it. I’d be utterly disgusted, if they weren’t so unoriginal. <em>Hijos de puta!</em></p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> If I may interrupt, Doctor…</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Dr. Mimko.</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> Dr. Mimko, why are you telling us all this?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><She puts another image onto the projector. The words ”GREY MATTER DIVISION” are superimposed over a grey brain in black bold letters.></em></p>
<p><em><The other members look at the image extensively.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> The GREY MATTER Division. <em>(paces around table)</em> Our job will be to produce media that’s exclusively pro-Foundation. From memes to videos, movies, TV shows, games, books, pornography — anything for the public to love us again.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Cavollo raises a hand.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Why are we doing all of this? I mean, hasn’t the Foundation operated without the public’s knowledge longer than my grammie’s been suckling the air out of this Earth? Why is it so concerned about the public now?<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Dr. Mimko approaches Cavollo.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Because the next <em>people-elected</em> president might not be so lenient with the Foundation. Higher taxes would be the least we had to worry about then. And, trust me, we do not want to go down <a href="/scp-1730">that path</a>.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Silence. Dr. Mimko walks back toward the head of the table.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> <em>(mutters)</em> So this is how the Foundation dies… with rageful X-users.</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> Okay, I do <em>not</em> want another <em>Star Wars</em> reference in this room.</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> I’m sorry! It seemed appropriate!</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> What made you think it was appropriate?</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Look, I said I’m sorry!<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Dr. Mimko gives out a long exhale, rubbing her temple.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> So, we know what our jobs are, but why are we <em>specifically</em> here?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>Your</em> job is to keep in touch with the current generation. Come up with a flurry of ideas to keep their young minds stimulated for longer than 10 seconds. While you <em>(points at Cavollo)</em> will be producing this stuff. Send it right into the masses.</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Okay. Great. Where’s my team?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>(pauses)</em> You’re looking right at it.</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> <em>(pauses)</em> Where?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> We’re a quartett— well, trio, as of right now.</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> Wait—<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Chair scrapes against the floor. Dr. Schneider walks up to Dr. Mimko.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> We’re all that there is?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Short one member, but, yes.</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> <em>(scoffs)</em> I’m done. I’m <em>done</em>.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Dr. Schneider moves to the door.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Dr. Schneider—<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Agent Henrik Duvall enters the room. He looks around quietly, before settling on an empty seat. He watches the proceedings with mild disinterest.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> —you were hand-picked for this project, due to your expertise and skill.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Dr. Schneider stops in her tracks. Agent Duvall checks his phone.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> Picked by whom?</p>
<p><strong>O5-11:</strong> <em>(via intercom)</em> By me.</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Jesus!<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Concerned faces, except for Dr. Mimko. Even Agent Duvall is looking up from his phone.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>O5-11:</strong> Golly. This first meeting’s going great!</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> Who are you?</p>
<p><strong>O5-11:</strong> Oh, you know, just that voice in your heads to tell you to shut the fuck up and listen to your team leader for a second, that’s all.</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Are you a Director?</p>
<p><strong>O5-11:</strong> More than that. I’m an Overseer. And now that I’ve told y’all, I’m afraid I’ll have to terminate you all—<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Concerned faces.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>O5-11:</strong> —but I’ve heard the Foundation doesn’t like to do that anymore, so I’ll just ask you kindly to bash your brains in to forget we ever had this conversation!</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> Lord, help me…</p>
<p><strong>O5-11:</strong> Daddy upstairs didn’t come down when his son was put on a stick. I doubt he’ll come for you, my love.</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> If I may interject. O5-11, as his title might suggest, will oversee our operations. This entire operation isn’t strictly… official.</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO & SCHNEIDER:</strong> Excuse me?</p>
<p><strong>O5-11:</strong> Jinxed!</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> I proposed the project to the Council, which they denied. But O5-11 kindly offered me to go through with it anyway.</p>
<p><strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Why?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Clas—</p>
<p><strong>O5-11:</strong> Classified, motherfucker!</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> … yes.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>CAVOLLO:</strong> Now what?</p>
<p><strong>O5-11:</strong> Now, you do your pretty little jobs, and save the world, or whatever. Miss Mimko over here said that my ol’ partners, the GOC, got something to do with it.</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Would fit their MO.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><The intercom system disconnects.></em></p>
<p><em><Dr. Schneider is about to leave. Dr. Mimko grabs her by the wrist.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Please. We need you.</p>
<p><strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> Let me go—</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Without you, this entire operation would fail. There is no other option. Please.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Dr. Schneider hesitates for a moment.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>SCHNEIDER:</strong> You’re pathetic.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>

<p><em><Dr. Schneider returns to her seat at the conference table. Dr. Mimko lets out an audible exhale.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Good… now that that’s settled, we can begin—</p>

<p><strong>FOREWORD:</strong> To gain more insight into Incident 8870-α, a meeting with D.C. al Fine of the Global Occult Coalition was arranged. The following is a log of the operation, Agent Henrik Duvall attending, with Dr. Hakari Mimko overseeing via concealed body-camera.</p>

<p><em><Agent Duvall arrives at the location. It is that of an elementary school, completely empty. There is a black van with the words ”FLOWER SHOP” printed on the side.></em></p>
<p><em><Duvall takes a look around, before exiting the vehicle. A light breeze passes him by.></em></p>

<strong>DUVALL:</strong> This place?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>(through earpiece)</em> What of it?</p>

<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Just go in, agent.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Open the door.<br/>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Duvall pulls on the doors, which do not budge. He pushes them and the doors move open.></em></p>
<p><em><He walks through the hallways of the school building. Each room that he passes the door is closed shut. He passes one whose door is wide open; a man sits at a desk with a black briefcase laying to his side.></em><br/>

<strong>MAN:</strong> You are Mr. Duvall, yes?</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> I am. Who are you?</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> Oh, apologies. I am D.C. al Fine’s representative. She unfortunately couldn’t come personally.</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> What, too busy?</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> No, no. It’s just with the recent, well, controversy surrounding the Foundation, she wanted to be safe. I hope you take no offense in this.</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> … No.</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> Very well. Let us waste no more time.<br/>

<strong>MAN:</strong> You have come alone, yes?</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> <em>(gestures at himself)</em> As alone as one can be.</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> You know I can smell that body-camera on you.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>

<p><em><Duvall’s demeanor changes and he remains silent. He shifts in his seat.></em></p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>DUVALL:</strong> Yeah?</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> Your colleague is watching me right now.</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> You born that way?</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> Got exposed to a <a href="/scp-3396">parasite</a> during an operation in Germany. My abilities have proven quite useful.</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> I thought the Coalition didn’t like anomalies.</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> Maybe, Mr. Duvall, we are not the mindless killers certain people paint us out to be.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Silence.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MAN:</strong> Well, Mr. Duvall, and whoever else is watching, let’s not stray too far from the topic at hand. We both know why this meeting was called, after all.</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> Did you kill her? Tori Frànk?</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> No.</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> And I’m supposed to believe that?</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> Quite frankly, there is no way for you to know the truth, other than what I have to say.</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> That’d be putting a lot of trust into a person I barely know.</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> If I may, Mr. Duvall—</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> You may.</p>
<p><strong>MAN:</strong> —I was under the impression that this meeting was to determine whether the Coalition had a hand in the event or not. And I have quickly and truthfully answered your questions. Now, if you’d excuse me.<br/>

<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> The day the agent came, Michal was scared shitless. He couldn’t move, he couldn’t— And I don’t want that to happen again. I want them to leave my son alone. Fuck me, I don’t want my son growing up feeling that he’s different, just because his daddy works at a shadow organization. I…<br/>

<p><strong>NOTES:</strong> I analyzed the footage contained on the flashdrive. The entity retreated into a dilapitated apartment building after the incident, several streets down. Investigated the area, armed; SCP-8870 was not present at the scene and there were signs it had fled the area beforehand.</p>
<p>However, I was able to gather several items of interest, which are detailed below:</p>
<ul>
<li>Detailed files on Karl Uzbekki;</li>
<li>Detailed files on Tori Frànk;</li>
<li>Schedules of news anchor CNN;</li>
<li>Detailed files on Dr. Abu Ugondo;</li>
<li>Broken mobile phone.</li>
</ul>
<p>Set up various recording equipment in every nook and cranny of the apartment. The entity hasn’t shown up since the incident. - <em>Agent Henrik Duvall</em></p>

<p><strong>INCIDENT 8870-β</strong></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>DATE:</strong> 02/17/2025</p>
<p><strong>LOCATION:</strong> Atlanta, Georgia</p>
<p><strong>FOREWORD:</strong> The following is the meeting of Dr. Abu Ugondo and news outlet CNN after Incident 8870-α.</p>
<p>Due to the animosity against Foundation personnel, Dr. Hakari Mimko deemed it safer to assign a security escort to Dr. Abu Ugondo’s meeting. MTF Pi-1 was designated as the escort under Dr. Mimko’s orders.</p>
<p>Under Council ruling, Agent Duvall was authorized to carry a highly experimental weapon, in order to minimize potential casualties.</p>

<p><em><Interior is that of a medium-sized room, with an elevated stage in the front and a seating area for the audience. Two chairs and a desk are on the stage, with big screens behind them.></em></p>
<p><em><Several are in attendance, including MTF Pi-1 lead Agent Henrik Duvall, who sits in the back row. He carefully oversees the front rows.></em></p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> <em>(through earpiece)</em> Anything suspicious yet?</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> Nope. Wouldn’t expect anything, ’till the doc shows up.<br/>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Duvall continues overseeing the area. He can be seen occasionally clutching his concealed weapon.></em></p>
<p><em><The lights in the room dim. Stage-lights turn on, pointing directly at the stage. Murmurs of the audience quiet down.></em></p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>DUVALL:</strong> Tell me again, why didn’t we cancel the event, if we suspect 8870 to be here?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> This is our best chance capturing the entity. Or do you’ve got a plan of their schedule?</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> Whatever you say, boss.<br/>

<strong>REPORTER:</strong> Wow. It’s just so good to have you here, Mr. Ugondo.</p>
<p><strong>UGONDO:</strong> Believe me, Ms. ████████. The pleasure’s all mine.</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> Well, Mr. Ugondo, I assume you’ve heard about the recent controversy surrounding the Foundation…</p>
<p><strong>UGONDO:</strong> I have, yes.</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> … And a lot of people still have mixed feelings about that. So why don’t I let you start? <em>(gestures with hands)</em></p>
<p><strong>UGONDO:</strong> Thank you very much. I’d like to start by saying that the SCP Foundation is, regardless of people’s opinions or views, a necessary organization. We contain thousands of anomalies, which could wipe out an entire country clean if not left in check. So I wanted to start by saying that.</p>
<p><strong>UGONDO:</strong> Regarding the death of Tori Frànk, the O5-Council is deeply sorry for her family, friends and colleagues. And of course what she meant to a lot of people — <em>people</em> — out there in the world. The Foundation does not take kindly to senseless violen—</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> Do I really gotta sit through this man saying empty platitudes?</p>
<p><strong>MIMKO:</strong> Concentrate on the mission, Henrik.</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> <em>(sighs)</em> Aye, aye.</p>
<p><strong>UGONDO:</strong> —like to show that her death was not in vain, the Foundation has partnered up together with the Manna Charitable Foundation and Marshall, Carter & Dark to support oppressed anomalous communities in third world countries worldwide! This initiative aims a-</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> Wait, wait— Sorry to interrupt—</p>
<p><strong>UGONDO:</strong> Yes?</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> —you’ve partnered up with <em>Marshall, Carter & Dark</em>, the same organization known to traffick human anomalies?</p>
<p><strong>UGONDO:</strong> Well, it’s not that simple. What MC&D did in 2023 is inexcusable. But with their involvement with this initiative, they can help millions of people in the world.</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> And you — <em>the SCP Foundation</em> — genuinely think that this makes up for what happened?</p>
<p><strong>UGONDO:</strong> We—</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> Don’t get me wrong, I think this initiative of yours is a cute attempt. But it doesn’t tackle the greatest problem: Anomalies around the world are still being oppressed. The Foundation is applying a band-aid to a gunshot wound; it’s simply ineffective.</p>
<p><strong>UGONDO:</strong> The Foundation is trying its best—</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> Oh, really? Millions of people’d say otherwise—</p>
<p><strong>UGONDO:</strong> —to help those in need. Shoot, we have been for over a hundred years-</p>
<p><strong>REPORTER:</strong> —and that isn’t even mentioning the other scandals: <em><a href="/scp-6113">6113</a></em>, <em><a href="/scp-3629">the S’kakithi</a></em>, <em><a href="/scp-231">110-Montauk</a></em>, <em><a href="/scp-4444">Bush v. Gore</a></em>-</p>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em><Conversation turns into a heated arguement between the reporter and Dr. Ugondo.></em></p>

<p><em><Agent Duvall keeps a vigilant eye at the proceedings.></em></p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/>
<strong>MIMKO:</strong> Anything now?</p>
<p><strong>DUVALL:</strong> It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, only the haystack’s on fire and the needle microscopic.</p>

The termimal cackles to life. <em>Thank God,</em> you think, exhaling loudly. A feminine voice comes through from the other end.
<p>”<a href="/drclef-member-page">Clef</a>?” Sophia asks. <a href="/dr-light-s-personnel-file">Sophia Light</a>.</p>
<p>You part your lips, a slight wheeze escaping your mouth. You settle on something to say, something that summed up the situation in the most concise and least overwhelming way possible. It was just like mixing water with oil.</p>
<p>But you can’t. At first you don’t know why, but then you become aware of an awful, stinging feeling right in the middle of your chest. You clutch it tightly, gasping for air, as your knees painfully fail you.</p>
<p>”Clef, you there?” Sophia’s voice rings out yet again. She still received no answer.</p>
<p>That sting in your chest turns into a burning feeling. Droplets of red stain the floor, pooling around you in an almost mesmerizing, artistic pattern. Pieces of your clothes swim in the pool.</p>
<p>You aren’t a chemist, but no one needed expert-levels of expertise to know that acid was eating through your body. You gather all the strength you’ve got left for one last time, do something, anything. Your head is above the meter tall terminal now.</p>
<p>And you collapse again. Your head impacts the console.</p>
<p>The last thing that you see on the flickering screen is the face of Dr. Hakari Mimko, completely silent and near motionless, who is looking up at the security camera, as if looking back at you. Staring straight into your soul.</p>
<p>And then it ends.<br/>

<p>A computer in Site-79 stores all 10 copies of SCP-8872-A, the computer itself is located within a Standard Anomalous Item Containment Storage under constant video surveillance. Foundation web crawlers are to eliminate any reference to SCP-8872, and cover stories are to be used when disappearances occur. All accounts found to have a relation with SCP-8872 are to be terminated. Investigations are under way to track down, and detain "TheSkyGoddess."</p>
<p>Ten specialists from MTF Kappa-10 ("Skynet") stationed at Outpost 8872-13, are to begin spreading information on how to escape SCP-8872-B, and are to assist players in doing so. Players who exit SCP-8872-B are to be debriefed, delivered Class-C amnestics, and reintroduced to their community by Foundation agents under the guise of government employees.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #8b0000"><span style="font-size:x-large;"><strong>- Description</strong> -</span></span></p>
<hr/>
<p>SCP-8872-A is an MMORPG<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> game titled "Adventures of Avalon" published by the user "TheSkyGoddess" on all major gaming platforms. SCP-8872-A has been found to have no form of coding but can be bugged via a computer virus. Despite being an online game, SCP-8872-A does not require an account and currently has 10 major servers, 2 for each continent excluding Antarctica. Playing SCP-8872-A causes the players to fall unconscious, and their atomic structures to transform into ash. The individuals consciousness is then transported to the alternate dimension within SCP-8872-A, designated SCP-8872-B.</p>
<p>SCP-8872-B is an alternate dimension similar in size to Earth; the dimension resembles that of a fantasy world with 1 large landmass at its center. The world is observed to represent the time periods 1100 CE to 1300 CE. The only known way to escape SCP-8872-B is to defeat "The War Celestial."<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> During the fight, a being designated SCP-8872-C will manifest in front of the players.</p>
<p>SCP-8872-C appears as a small spherical light within the game. SCP-8872-C only appears to players who take on "The War Celestial" and will perform small forms of aid such as informing the players of the enemies weak spots, informing them where to go, etc. If the players succeed, SCP-8872-C will attempt to escape with the players and will pass through the rift. Upon making contact with Earth, SCP-8872-C will appear as a glowing woman standing 2.2 meters tall. Approximately 10 seconds after making contact, the woman self-destructs and is absorbed back into the game dimension. SCP-8872-C has been found to be the operator of the game, and is responsible for the functions within the realm.</p>

<p>SCP-8872 was discovered when the Foundation linked an unusual number of disappearances to SCP-8872-A 5 days after the game's release. Following its discovery, the game was bugged to delete all copies of SCP-8872-A once the main application was removed. The Foundation set up cover stories, and proper amnestication of witnesses was observed. By 8/14/2018 a total of approximately 1,300,000 disappearances were linked to SCP-8872-A.</p>

<p><strong>Dr. Gabriel:</strong> Sorry, we had to keep you and your friends for a long time, Charles, but before we can let you go, we need to talk to you about some details regarding the dimension you were trapped in.</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Hold on, who the hell are you guys? And what the hell is this place? Are you guys government spies? Like the CIA or FBI?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>[Irrelevant information omitted for brevity]</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gabriel:</strong> So, are you okay with proceeding to the interview, Charles?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Yes, you can start now.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gabriel:</strong> Very well, let us proceed, shall we? How did you escape the realm?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> I'm not exactly sure what happened; all I remember is that me and my friends beat something and that woman helped us, then we fell through some sort of wormhole, and now we're here.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gabriel:</strong> When you say woman, are you referring to that person who disappeared?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> I think so. She didn't look like that though; she looked more like a ball of light. She turned like that when we started falling.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gabriel:</strong> Do you remember all of the events leading to your escape?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> I mean, I had a journal and my friends had cameras with them; I can't exactly remember what happened; maybe you could just look at it?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gabriel:</strong> That would be particularly helpful; would you be alright if we took them from you and your friends?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Yeah, you can take it; it brings back some bad memories anyway.</p>
<p><em>Charles appears uncomfortable.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gabriel:</strong> May I ask what these "bad memories" are?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> <em>(sighs)</em> I don't really want to talk about it… Can you just take my stuff and let us leave?</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Gabriel:</strong> Ah yes, please hand me your things and security personnel will escort you and your friends to a plane heading to the US.</p>

<p>Hey, so I'm writing this journal to jot down our adventures, I guess? So to get you up to speed, me and my friends William, Emily, and Jane were going to play the game "Adventures of Avalon," but it sucked us in when we tried to play it, and now were stuck here. I honestly hate it in here, and I want to leave so bad, but we already tried everything, and William said it's not too much of a bad thing. I don't believe him, but Emily and Jane do. I can't even understand why they love this place so much. There are monsters everywhere, and it's dangerous. Well anyway, going back to what happened, we just recently decided to go on another adventure. William said something about dragons and making money, so we all geared up and were about to leave. I just wanted to write something before we went.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="whitebox">
<div class="transcript">
<p>So we just decided to take a break here somewhere under a cliff. Everyone else is just eating the picnic we brought. Emily cooked most of it, and lots of it we had to get ourselves. It's honestly been the only calming place here. It almost reminded me of the barn I used to live in with my mom and dad.</p>
<p>We're about to leave, and everyone was just talking about what happened a while ago, so I guess I'll tell you before leaving while everyone is fixing everything. So we got attacked by some giant ant? And we somehow, by the grace of God, were able to kill it. That was terrifying. Y'know that feeling you get when you face a bully for the first time? That's the feeling we got, but like 5x, and if you think I'm some sort of baby, you don't know how huge that thing was. But it's the past, and we're about to get moving, so I better pack my stuff.</p>

<p>Day 2 of our magical attempt at making good money here, and we just got attacked by a bear. It's not weird or magical, but it's a bear, and this just adds to my point about how dangerous and unfamiliar this place is, but as always they didn't agree with me. They even tamed the damn thing and named it "Brownie." Not the best name, but let's be fair, also not the best pet. Now we have a walking fire-hazard with us that everyone wants to ride so badly, but this time I intervened.</p>

<p>Alright throughout this whole adventure thing, I completely forgot to say what our goal was here, so now I'll say it, we took up a quest that told us to go to some open field and kill a bunch of random baby dragons in the area, yes, I know BABY DRAGONS. I don't know what I'm more worried about: killing babies or the actual dragon part. This game makes me feel like a member of a gang who accepted a job to assassinate someone or something. I swear I'm not sure if we're even prepared to do this thing because William just grabbed the highest-paying job offer there was and only read it hours later. God, he is so troublesome. If I could see into the future, I swear he's going to do something stupid and make us do the same thing.</p>

<p>It's Day 4, and today was the most interesting day in this entire adventure. So you know how the houses are supposed to look really old and medieval style? You can imagine the look on our faces when we saw people in black and what looked like some sort of secret military base from a action movie. We tried to talk to them, but they didn't answer any questions we asked them; they didn't want to say anything and even pointed guns at us! How do these guys even have guns in a place like this? We just ran away as fast as we could from them so we didn't get shot, but I have a feeling the government is looking for us.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup></p>

<p>We finally got here in the field! We decided to take a picnic in the forest next to it before trying to take on the baby dragons, so everyone just ate the sandwiches Emily cooked. She's just so good at cooking. I feel like if she tried she could be a chef! Ever since we figured that out, she's been on food duty ever since, everyone else either can't cook or suck at cooking.</p>

<p><em>The group is seen desperately attempting to fend off the baby dragons.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Oh god, this is terrifying! Why did we even do this again?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Because William said it would be a good way of making money? But this is not what I expected.</p>
<p><em>Jane is seen attempting to paralyze a dragon.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Wait, wheres William?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> He said he was going to do something to kill one of the babies.</p>
<p><em>William jumps off a cliff and decapitates a nearby dragon.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Oh Jesus! <em>(retching)</em> Oh, I think I'm going to be sick!</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> It's just a head; besides, you need to help me with the big one.</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Just a head? That was not "just a head," and what do you mean by big one?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Um, the alpha? Didn't I tell you about it?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> No, you didn't! What "alpha?"</p>
<p><em>The ground trembles as a large blue dragon appears from the sky and attacks the group.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> What is that thing?!</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> The alpha? Anyway this is the plan: You will ride brownie to try and cut off its wings, then I will climb the cliff and wait till Jane and Emily do their thing before I kill it. Any questions?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Uh yeah, I have one; why do I have to ride brownie?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> There's no time! Besides brownie will help.</p>
<p><em>Emily levitates Charles onto Brownie's back.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Woah wait, I think we can make a safer plan, one that doesn't involve me riding—</p>
<p><em>Brownie runs toward the dragon, leaving the group behind.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Wait, brownie, stop! Uh, heel? Oh god, I'm going to throw up; maybe we can stop for awhile. I feel nauseous. <em>(Charles throws up on the left side)</em> You know what I think we should— Woah dragon feet!</p>
<p><em>Brownie runs towards the dragon's right foot and scratches it with its claws.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> <em>(Brownie growls softly)</em> What?! Oh, right, the plan, uh, let me just grab my sword. Wait, I just hit it, right?</p>
<p><em>Brownie charges towards the right foot of the dragon.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Oh god, here goes nothing.</p>
<p><em>Charles slices the dragon's right foot off.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Woah, we actually did it; I didn't think this would work. Thanks Brownie.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Charles, look out!</p>
<p><em>The dragon strikes Charles and Brownie with its tail as Charles and Brownie fall to the ground.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> <em>(grunts)</em> God that hurts.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Hey Charles, are you okay?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Yeah, I'm fine.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Guys, come on focus; the alpha is the only thing left.</p>
<p><em>Charles and Brownie stand up as Emily heals their wounds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Right, but wasn't Will supposed to be the one to kill it? Then where is he?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> <em>(shouting)</em> Hey Jane! Enhance my axe!</p>
<p><em>Jane uses magic and causes Williams axe to become a bright red. William jumps off the cliff and decapitates the alpha dragon, soaking everyone in blood.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Woo, we did it! We finally killed it!</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> <em>(retching)</em> Oh god, I think I'm going to puke again.</p>
<p><em>Charles vomits on the grass as the rest of the group chats among themselves.</em></p>

<p>Okay, that was single-handedly the most terrifying thing I have ever done. William is an absolute madman! While everyone was screaming, he was having the time of his life, and might I tell you that you can actually die in this game? You can even feel the bruises on your body, so while all of us were trying not to die, William was running around with an axe and went on to decapitate every single one. Brownie was actually pretty useful. I don't want to say it, but Brownie was actually a pretty good decision.</p>

<p>Throughout this entire adventure, everyone's been talking about buying a house or something. Don't get me wrong, camping's okay, and that's what I thought too, but now it has been a nightmare recently, we got attacked by monsters and have to keep watch every few hours, there are bugs everywhere, and it's just flat out uncomfortable. Even if we wanted to buy another house though, we don't have the money to buy one even after that stunt we pulled yesterday, so we're just going to brainstorm some ideas to make more money real quick.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="whitebox">
<div class="transcript">
<p>We just found a really good deal and an even better way to make some money! That is what I would say if it wasn't the stupidest idea I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, the deal is great, an island with a decently sized house in the middle for a few hundred thousand, but the way we're going to make that money is somewhat stupid. William proposed an idea the other day that would pay all of the expenses with some extra cash! The only problem? The job wants us to steal a relic from a giant dragon. Apparently, this relic belonged to this group called "The Twelve Stars," and they will pay anyone who gets it for them. It sounds as crazy as it is stupid, but William thought it was a great idea, and you know the worse part? Everyone else agreed! I can't even stop them because we agreed that any decision with the highest amount of votes wins. So I guess we're going to either get the relic and become filthy rich or die trying to.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="whitebox">
<div class="transcript">
<p>We just left a few days ago to do this stupid job, and now we're here. As always, we camped a few meters away from the cave before actually going in. It basically became our good luck charm or tradition, or something, but there is something else weird I wanted to say before we go throw ourselves towards death, and that is, those people we talked to yesterday? Are actually real people! I thought they were NPCs who give you quests, but turns out those guys were people from our world!</p>

<p><em>The group is seen moving quietly through the cave as a low-pitched growl echoes through the cavern walls.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Will, are you sure this is safe?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Of course it is; besides, this dragon probably isn't even that bad.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8872-B-1 is seen approximately 10 meters southeast from the group.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Okay, remember, lets just sneak through the dragon, grab the relic, and get out of here.</p>
<p><em>The relic is seen glowing 5 meters northeast from the group.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> <em>(gasps)</em> Hey Charles, look! It's the relic!</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Shh! What part of "be quiet" do you not understand?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Jeez, sorry, I was just telling you guys the relics right there. Besides, Charles said "sneak," not "quite."</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Its still the same thing! Do you want us to die?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Guys, shut up; the dragon's going to wake up! By the way, wheres William?</p>
<p><em>The group looks around for William without spotting him.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Wasn't he with you awhile ago?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Yeah, but you guys keep on bickering and distracted me.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> <em>(shouting)</em> Hey you stupid dragon! You think you're some tough guy, huh? We could easily kill you!</p>
<p><em>William is seen in front of SCP-8872-B-1; he points at him as SCP-8872-B-1 wakes up.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8872-B-1:</strong> <em><tt>Who dares trespass my abode?</tt></em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> <em>(shouting)</em> Hey! yeah you! You think you're some tough guy just because your some big lizard?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> William, what the hell do you think you're doing?!</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> We can take this big lizard on; he's just like those baby dragons we killed.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8872-B-1:</strong> <em><tt>"Big lizard?" How dare you challenge me, you impotent human! Do you wish to perish?</tt></em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Talking like some real tough guy, huh? We've killed dragons like you!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8872-B-1:</strong> <em><tt>Oh, a dragon hunter? Show me your true power!</tt></em></p>
<p><em>William attempts to strike SCP-8872-B-1 with his axe; SCP-8872-B-1 strikes him in the chest with the end of his tail and knocks him to a nearby cavern wall.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> William! Hold on, Will, we're coming!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8872-B-1:</strong> <em><tt>Oh, so you are the boastful dragon hunters accomplices? Very well, I shall strike you down as well.</tt></em></p>
<p><em>SCP-8872-B-1 releases a large blue flame that causes Emily's arm to catch fire.</em></p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> <em>(grunts)</em> Charles! Jane!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8872-B-1:</strong> <em><tt>Haha, You are not as powerful as you claim to be impotent humans.</tt></em></p>
<p><em>Jane and Charles run back towards Emily.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Em! Jane, use your water magic.</p>
<p><em>Jane uses her magic to cause a stream of water to fall from the ceiling into Emily's hand.</em></p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> <em>(pants)</em> Ah, thanks Jane. It feels way better.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> No problem, come on, let's go get William.</p>
<p><em>The group runs over to where William was previously thrown aside.</em></p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Uh guys, William isn't here.</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Well then, where is he?</p>
<p><em>William is seen stealing the relic from its podium.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8872-B-1:</strong> <tt>How dare you attempt to steal my possessions, you impotent human!</tt></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> William, what the heck are you doing?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Trying to steal the relic? Besides, now that we have it, we can get out of here.</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Bro what the—</p>
<p><em>Emily and Jane grab Charles by the wrist and pull him towards them.</em></p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Come on, we gotta go!</p>
<p><em>The group is seen running away from SCP-8872-B-1 toward the mouth of the cavern. SCP-8872-B-1 attempts to exit but is blocked by an unknown force.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8872-B-1:</strong> <tt>Heed my words, human! When I lay my eyes on you, you will perish!</tt></p>
<p><em>The group run towards their previous camping ground.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> <em>(pants)</em> William, what the hell is wrong with you!? You left us hanging man!</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> <em>(pants)</em> I'm sorry! I was trying to get the relic and—</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Frick the relic! We almost died because of your negligence! In fact, you've done nothing but put us in danger because of your stupid adventures! This is what I was talking about! You and your stupid ideas were just gonna put us all in danger someday!</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Well, I'm sorry if you can't learn to forgive someone for 1 tiny little mistake.</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Tiny? TINY?! Well, your "TINY" mistake almost got Emily killed! And what if she did die, huh? What would you do? Just cry in some stupid corner, saying sorry?!</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> But she's fine, isn't she? She didn't actually die?! And what about you? Why can't you just forgive someone? Nothing bad even happened!</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> <em>(mockingly)</em> "Nothing bad even happened!" <em>(normally)</em> I don't care about what did happen, I care about what could've happened, but of course, your insensitive, stubborn, arrogant little brain couldn't consider any of my suggestions because they weren't "fun," Well, at least I'm trying to keep everyone alive while you're sending them to their deaths!</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Jeez, what are you stuck in the past?! At least I kept everything interesting so YOU wouldn't go insane.</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Who in the damn hell said I was going insane?! Is your arrogant mind telling you that you're the only one who's not going insane?! Do you think you're so much better than everyone that you're the only one who can keep their sanity?!</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Hold on, when did I say—</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Oh just shut up! Everyone here is against you and you know it! They're just afraid of saying anything.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> That's not true! They don't think that, right Jane?</p>
<p><em>Jane ignores William, tears running down her cheek as she looks away. Brownie approaches Jane and proceeds to nuzzle her.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Wait, Jane? Emily, you don't really think that right?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Sorry, William, you just don't listen to any of us, and Charles is right, you're kinda stubborn.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> I'm sorry, I can change. I know I can. Just forgive me I'll make it up to you. I'll—</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Shut up; you can't change; you never will.</p>
<p><em>Jane runs away as Emily runs after her.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Do you really think I chose to be like this? You don't even know me! But yet you decide to assume things about me, even though you don't even fully know me!</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Oh, so you're trying to make it personal now huh? Your life is perfect, and you have no problems! You don't even know what all of us are going through, and you decide to assume that your life is the worst of all of us? Have you for once tried to think of anyone but yourself?!</p>
<p><em>William stays quiet, twiddling his thumbs as he looks down at the floor.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> That's what I thought; try to make it up to us; I don't care anymore.</p>

<p>Okay, I know I said William was a madman, but he took it too far. We were supposed to just slip through and take the damn relic, but William decided that we could take the dragon, so he just charged at it without telling us and woke the dragon up! The dragon tossed him aside, and we had to go get him, but when we got there, he wasn't around, and the dragon charged at us! Emily almost died! And where was he the entire time? Well, it turns out he ran towards the relic to grab it and just left us hanging! Thank God we got out, but we screamed at William for almost getting us killed.

<p><strong>William:</strong> Hey Jane… You alright?</p>
<p><em>Jane ignores William and sits farther away from him. William sighs and places his hand on Jane's shoulder.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Listen, I know you probably hate me for what I did, but I want you to know that I'm sorry and that I'll make it up to you.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Oh, really? How?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Well, I can start by listening to you guys, since that's what you said my problem was…</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> <em>(sighs)</em> That's not your only problem though, you're selfish; all you've ever thought about during our adventures was what you wanted.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> I know, I'm sorry, I just— I just never have people to be with to do stuff I actually wanted to do. I guess I just thought it would be nice to finally have people to do the things I wanted to.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Well, have you thought about what we've wanted during all of this?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Well I— I guess not… Listen, I'm trying to listen now, but if you still don't want to talk to me, I guess I can leave.</p>
<p><em>William stands up ready to leave, but Jane grabs him by the wrist and pulls him down.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Wait— I— I want to talk to you about something.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Really? Well, okay, if you really want me to listen, I'm here.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> I forgive you; I just don't like it when you're so arrogant to everyone; it just gets annoying, y'know?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Oh, sorry, I'm just not used to talking to other people; usually I'm either with the maid or with some fancy adults my mom and dad want me to meet.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Really? Wow, your not that different from me after all.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Really? How?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Well, my mom and dad have been pushing me to do things I've never wanted to do, like taking over the family business or meeting some important people. They say I'm too masculine and aren't their daughter.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Really? Why would they do that?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> I don't know, because I'm rich, I guess? They've always been trying to get me to do stuff so I can "boost the family image."</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> What do you want to do with your life anyway?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Well, it's been my dream to become an athlete and win an Olympic medal, but my parents think that sports are for men and that I should do more feminine stuff like cooking. But it's definitely been a dream of mine since I was like 9.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Then go for it! No one is stopping you, and what if your mom and dad don't like you? What are they going to do, disown you?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Really? You think so?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Of course I do! I don't know why someone wouldn't want to have this luxurious life, but if that's what you want to do, then go for it! It's your dream, and no one should stop you from achieving it!</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Really? Thanks for the encouragement; I didn't think you would be this good at talking to people.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> I'm usually not, but ever since what happened, I thought I should get a good start.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Well, you should keep doing it; you're pretty good at it.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Wait, so does this mean I'm forgiven?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Well yeah, I forgave you for a long time now, but you should still try and talk to the others. Have you talked to Charles yet?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Not yet. I wanted to talk to everyone else to work on my talking skills before I talk to him… He still seems kind of pissed.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> You should try and talk to him; he hasn't eaten in days, and he won't talk to anyone.</p>
<p><em>There is silence for 10 seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> That makes sense… What I did was pretty bad. I'll go to Emily before I talk to him, tho, I'm still kind of scared to get close to him.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Alright then… You should talk to him soon though.</p>

<p><strong>William:</strong> Hey Em, what's up?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Really, Will? What's up?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Right, sorry, I'm still working on talking.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Oh, really? Because it seemed like you were fine when talking to Jane. Oh, I remember, because it wasn't her who almost died.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Okay, I know you might be mad, but I—</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> I'm not mad, just disappointed…</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Right, sorry, I just really thought the house would make you all happy.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> We're not all rich like you and Jane Will; we would rather be safe and not die; we would never sacrifice ourselves for some house.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Wait, why do you say that?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Oh come on, you and Jane basically experience being royalty every single day; me and Charles have dreams we want to accomplish and work for, unlike you guys who could get it without doing anything.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Do you really think Jane and I live like that?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> How else am I supposed to think? It definitely seems that way.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Our lives also have their fair share of problems, you know.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Well, if you do have problems, it's definitely not as bad as mine and Charles.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> What are those problems anyway?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Even if I did tell you, would you even listen?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Well, I'll definitely try my best. I know I'm not that good at listening, but I can definitely try.</p>
<p><em>Emily pauses for 10 seconds, looking downward.</em></p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> My dad's an alcoholic; mom is barely around, and when she is, dad beats her up. I just try to ignore it and lock myself in my room.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Have you tried calling the police?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Honestly, I thought about it, but what do you think other people would think of me? The kid who called the cops on her dad, that's what!</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> But he's beating your mom; why hasn't she done anything?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> She says she still loves him; I don't understand how someone would love a guy like that. though, I did try calling the cops on him, but they didn't do anything! Dad just lied to them, and he even started beating me.</p>
<p><em>There is silence for 5 seconds, Emily shedding tears as she looks away from William.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> So what are you gonna do about it?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> I honestly don't know; I guess I'll just hope the neighbors call the police on him someday.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> How about your mom? Will she be okay dealing with that?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> She says she can, but I don't think she can take it anymore; we brought her to the hospital multiple times, and Dad— Dad just tells them a bunch of random excuses. I can't even help her when Dad beats her up.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Why not?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> I tried, but he just beats me up with Mom. Mom told me not to try to help her anymore after that. I just don't know what to do anymore.</p>
<p><em>Emily wipes her cheek as tears run down her face.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> How about I help?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Ho— How?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Well, no one will criticize me if I call the cops on your dad.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Really? But what if they don't do anything again?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> They won't, I have some connections in the police department. Well at least my dad has.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Really? I— I would really appreciate that.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Yeah, sure, of course, I would do that, your my friend.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> I— I would really like that. Thanks for listening to Will; I didn't think you would actually help.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> I'm your friend, right? Anything for my friends.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Thanks Will, I— I really needed this. If you're wondering, I also forgive you.</p>

<p><em>William walks up to Charles, twiddling his thumbs as he approaches.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Don't even try Will; do you really think I'm going to talk to you because the others forgave you? How stupid do you think I am?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> I can still try to talk to you. And I'm really sorry about what happened.</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Save it; even if you did listen, which you won't, why would I talk to you?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> But we were friends. Besides, of course I want to listen. Please, Charles, just give me a chance. Come on, what problems do you have that are so bad you won't tell me?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> How about you stop focusing on my problems and start focusing on your own, huh?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> I'm trying to fix my problems. Can't you just forgive me? I'm literally trying so hard to make you forgive me; even the person I almost got killed forgave me, but you won't?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> What do you even think you did wrong, huh? What are these problems you're trying to fix?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Jeez, you're making me list things down now? you sound like my dad.</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Well, at least you have a dad!</p>
<p><em>Charles slowly sheds tears</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Oh, I— I didn't know…</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Of course you don't know; you never know.</p>
<p><em>Charles looks out a nearby window, there is silence for 5 seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> How did he die?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> <em>(groans)</em> He died in a car crash, so what? You know what? I don't even know why I'm telling you this; I'm done talking to you.</p>
<p><em>Charles stands up, William grabs him by the arm as Charles shoves him away and reaches for the door knob.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Wait, Charles!</p>
<p><em>Charles opens the door and leaves the room, leaving William inside.</em></p>

<p>William's been trying to make it up to me and the others. The others forgive him somehow, but I still don't. He tried buying the island to calm us down, but I still didn't want to talk to him after that. I'm not usually the type of person to not forgive someone, but can you blame me? He almost got us killed, and I just don't think I can forgive him after what he did. Every time he gets near me, I just walk away like I don't know him. Do I feel bad? Probably, but do I care? Absolutely not.</p>

<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Charles! You gotta see this! Somethin's going on.</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> What? show me.</p>
<p><em>Charles and Emily exit the house as they see a large army charging towards them.</em></p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> What do we do?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Uh, we should defend the place; maybe set some traps? Weren't you and Jane trying to study how to make traps using magic?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Yeah, but we're not yet ready…</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Don't worry, I believe you just try to make some traps, okay?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Okay, I just hope they work.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> What's going on? Can I help?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Just try and be useful; go make some manual traps or barricades or something.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Sure, but what kinds of traps?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> I'm sure you're so smart, so why don't you figure it out yourself?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Okay then, I'll just dig some deep holes with swords, I guess.</p>
<p><em>The group is seen preparing the area around the house for 10 minutes.</em></p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Okay, I think thats enough. Right Charles?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Alright everyone, just try to hide somewhere; I'll give the cue.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Where do I hide?</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Just hide wherever, but don't even think about hiding with me; go hide with Jane or something; come on Emily, let's go.</p>
<p><em>Charles and Emily leave to locate a hiding spot.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Come on, Will, we need to go.</p>
<p><em>Jane and William position themselves on a nearby treeline.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> <em>(sighs)</em> When will he ever forgive me?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Did you talk to him already?</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Yeah, and you know what he did? He just left and shut the door on me!</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Just give him space; maybe there's a reason for it; it usually doesn't take him too long to forgive someone.</p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> Yeah, your right, maybe I'll just leave him alone for awhile.</p>
<p><em>Indistinct chatter is heard a few meters from Jane and William.</em></p>
<p><strong>???:</strong> <em><tt>For a house owned by adventurers, I thought there would be someone home.</tt></em></p>
<p><strong>???:</strong> <em><tt>Lets not jump to conclusions yet; they could be planning something.</tt></em></p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> I think theyre the soldiers Em saw. <em>(whispers)</em> Come one, Charles, give us the signal.</p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> <em><tt>Alright, scout the house; wyvern riders search the treelines; I want the hellhounds to burn the place down.</tt></em></p>
<p><em>The soldiers disperse across the property as a large line of explosions occurs simultaneously.</em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> <em>(shouting)</em> Alright now!</p>
<p><em>The group ambushes the group of foot soldiers.</em></p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> <em><tt>(grunts) Where did they come from?</tt></em></p>
<p><strong>Soldier 2:</strong> <em><tt>I dont know, inform the jeager company, where are the hellhounds?</tt></em></p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Come one, keep going! We almost got them! Emily! Jane! Focus on those wyverns!</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Don't worry, we got them! Wait… Wheres William?!</p>
<p><em>The group looks around; they see William battling a hellhound.</em></p>
<p><strong>William:</strong> I'll take you on anyday, you big dog!</p>
<p><em>The hellhound expels a burst of fire from its mouth; it incinerates William as he screams in agony before fully reducing to ash.</em></p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Will— Is he— Is he dead?!</p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> <em><tt>You've been bested, give up.</tt></em></p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> How dare you just kill our friend, you brutes! Im going to kill you!</p>

<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Jane, stop…</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> But he killed William!</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Just stop… We can't fight them anymore. <em>(groans)</em> What do you want?</p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> <em><tt>I suppose boredom overtook us; you were a fun batch to toy around with; quite the challenge.</tt></em></p>

<p>I feel bad for ignoring William now. Some soldiers from "The Chaos Empire" just came to our island and ended up invading it. We all tried to protect the island, and… William got killed by those maniacs. When we asked them why they did it, they said that it was for fun! Those psychopaths…</p>

<p>It's been a few days since the incident, and since then we all changed. Emily and Jane… They don't want to stay anymore; they were as desperate as I was when I wanted to get out.

As for me, I wanted revenge as much as everyone else; usually I'd be afraid, but I don't know what's gotten into me…</p>

<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Hey, is Charles asleep?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Yep, he's been having a hard time sleeping before, so this is a relief.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> That's true; he definitely felt really guilty when William died… He's been blaming himself for a really long time now.</p>
<p><em>Jane reaches for Charles slingbag, opening it as she reaches inside and grabs Charles journal.</em></p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> What are you doing?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Trying to peek into his journal? I mean, he writes his thoughts there; maybe we can learn a thing or two.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Uh, no, we shouldn't; that's rude, and that would mean we're violating his privacy.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Well, he should have thought of that before he put it in public. Besides, he wouldn't care.</p>
<p><em>Jane opens the journal before Emily snatches it and throws it aside.</em></p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Yes he would! Besides, what are you planning to find inside it anyway?</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> I don't know, maybe some thoughts? Besides, don't you want to know what's inside?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Its not that I don't want to, but unlike you, I have manners and don't go poking my head on other people's business.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Oh, really? What makes you think that?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> You're rich, duh! You do not respect other people's privacy; you're proving it right now!</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> So you believe that stereotype? Besides, if I'm rich, that means I have more manners, you know, because I join a ton of parties? And here you are talking about not being rude when you're literally acting like it.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Oh yeah? Well, maybe that's true, but you're no better. If you do have manners, you wouldn't be reading people's journals without their permission.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> I was just curious; why can't you live a little?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Because it's dangerous and lots of bad things happen, isn't that how William died?</p>
<p><em>There is silence for 10 seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> You… kind of touched on a sensitive topic there.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Right, sorry, it just slipped my mouth.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> It's fine; it's not like we could avoid talking about it.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Right, sorry my bad, I just don't have a good experience with rich people.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Really? Why?</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Well, because I was in a private school when I got a scholarship, and everyone there were some rich kids, and I think you know what it's like being the poor kid there.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> Oh, sorry about that, even though it is sort of true. I'm not like that.</p>
<p><strong>Emily:</strong> Really? Maybe I just misjudged you.</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> It's alright; to be fair, the stereotype is true; I've met a lot of people who act like that. But I don't, you know that.</p>

<p><strong>Emily:</strong> It wasn't your fault; we didn't know that those things would attack us, and I get that you were mad.</p>
<p><strong>Charles:</strong> Yeah, but I'm not usually like that; it's always so easy for me to forgive someone. It's just that he kept being reckless, and he almost got you killed, and… I just didn't want everyone else to die.</p>

<p><strong>Notice:</strong> The following documentation details an ongoing investigation. Information within may be subject to change, or considered out of date until a new iteration is reviewed and authorized for publication.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Entry to Silverstone Pork Processing has been barred. Companies contracted to the plant have been informed of a large-scale <em>U.S Environmental Protection Agency</em> (<em>EPA</em>) investigation that will disrupt distribution, and are encouraged to seek other businesses for their needs.</p>
<p>The Foundation’s Department of Dissolution is currently overseeing the process of shuttering Silverstone Pork Processing, and project a successful clearing of the plant for demolition within 3 months.</p>
<p>In conjunction with the United States federal government, the physical and informational remnants of Hadley, North Carolina have been destroyed. An ongoing amnestics effort is being carried out to remedy the families of those affected by SCP-8876.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8876 is the massacre of all 5,382 residents of Hadley, North Carolina, which occurred on the night of 2024/8/01 within the confines of the nearby Silverstone Pork Processing plant.</p>
<p>SCP-8876-1 refers to the remnants of SCP-8876: an assemblage of human viscera that was found littering the property following the incident. While the majority of SCP-8876-1 refers to the mass of non-anomalous remains found within the premises, a number of pallets stacked with individual, factory-sealed packages containing the detritus were also found inside the plant’s packing and distribution area. This packing process is incompatible with the factory’s existing capabilities, and impossible to perform without the use of heavily specialized equipment.</p>
<p>The means by which SCP-8876 occurred are presently unknown, and subject to an ongoing investigation by the SCP Foundation. From a thorough overview of the premises, a number of facts have been gleaned:</p>
<ul>
<li>Surveillance footage between the hours of 18:00 and 06:00 on 2024/8/01 is missing;</li>
<li>The conditions of the remains indicate unknown and complex causes of death beyond what any existing industrial machinery could inflict on the human body;</li>
<li>While viscera has been found within the plant’s machinery, it could not have been used to slaughter large numbers of victims without anomalous influence;</li>
<li>The victims—the 5,382 residents of Hadley, North Carolina— included all of Silverstone’s ownership and workforce;</li>
<li>Livestock sourced from on-site storehouses were loosened from their pens and were roaming the premises at the time of the Foundation’s arrival.</li>
</ul>
<p>While a premeditated element in SCP-8876 has yet to be proven, the possibility of such has called for the attention of the Foundation’s Department of Anomalous Crimes to jointly investigate.</p>
<p>The Silverstone Pork Processing plant has been declared an anomalous crime scene.</p>

<p>Following the Department of Anomalous Crime’s initial survey and containment of Silverstone Pork Processing, efforts were underway to investigate SCP-8876. Current activities include evidence collection, scanning for anomalous residuals, and trauma analysis to ascertain the various causes of death.</p>
<p>Over 800 carcasses have been positively identified; all mangled beyond recognition.</p>
<p>Efforts to reveal possible inciting incidents for SCP-8876’s occurance have failed to produce notable information— including investigations into Silverstone’s workplace logs and its employee’s backgrounds.</p>
<p>On 2024/8/6, DoAC Unit Director James Barnes’ personnel request for the use of investigators with psychic capabilities was approved by Overwatch Command. Detective Alison Presley was shortly on boarded to the investigation, chosen for her prominent position on the Foundation’s Consultation Committee and her experience with extrasensory animal communication. Trained students of this discipline are capable of retrocognitively “viewing” a simple organism’s memories through touch.</p>
<p>Viewing sessions with SCP-8876’s possible witnesses is scheduled to begin shortly.</p>
<p>The following is a transcript of surveillance footage automatically recorded from Temporary Site-8876’s analysis room on 2024/8/7.</p>

<p><em>Unit Director Barnes watches through an observation window inside Silverstone Processing’s conference room, which has been turned into a makeshift office. He sips coffee through his rebreather— the device made necessary due to the air quality attributed to SCP-8876-1.</em></p>
<p><em>Detective Presley is inside the observation chamber, placing her hands atop a pig. She ceases her technique, and emerges from the chamber, clutching her head.</em></p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Problem?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Compound.</p>
<p><em>Presley collapses at the table. She rifles through a briefcase, filling a syringe with a small dropper containing HA-9, a chemical compound used by individuals with psychic capabilities to suppress the emotional and cognitive limitations that come from attempting to read sites of mass slaughter.</em></p>
<p><em>Presley takes the syringe, positioning it up to her eye. She guides the needle to her sclera.</em></p>
<p><em>With a push of the pump, Presley injects the suppressant into her right eye. Her breathing accelerates. She prepares to do the same for the left.</em></p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> I just need a stateme—</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Don’t talk.</p>
<p><em>Presley exhales as she injects the compound into her left eye.</em></p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Fuck that.</p>
<p><em>Barnes starts writing on a clipboard.</em></p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Still gotta put something down.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> “Hell. Absolute hell.”</p>

<p>The following excerpts are abridged descriptions of notable retrocognitive inferences from SCP-8876 viewing sessions, composed and interpreted by Director Barnes and Detective Presley.</p>

<p><strong>Subject:</strong> PoI-8876-0573: Adult Male Swine</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Presley places her hand on top of the subject’s head. After several minutes of sifting through more recent memories, she believes herself to have found one that is potentially relevant.</p>
<p>Presley describes the subject leaving its pen alongside dozens of other pigs, and venturing out into a sprawling, industrial area. Presley’s descriptions are muddled due to the limitations of animal recall, but she cannot connect it to a location within Silverstone Processing. She notes a sensory issue similar to that which prematurely ended her first viewing attempt minutes before. Presley cites an overwhelming amount of noise surrounding the memory, and interprets it as both industrial and human in nature. Due to the use of the suppressing compound, she does not cease viewing.</p>
<p>Minutes later, Presley finds another relevant memory. The subject, traversing the sprawling factory landscape, is surrounded by rows of large enclosures, stacked atop one another. Undefined figures reach out from these enclosures, which the subject attempts to avoid. There is the sensation of a hand tightly gripping the subject before loosening its hold. The noise permeates, though this time, Presley interprets it with clarity as the sound of human voices, panicked and screaming.</p>
<p>She notes a vivid image. Each enclosure is filled to its limit with humans, who she discerns have been stripped of their clothing and laid on top of one another to maximize space. Some are covered in their own waste and fluids, while others lay motionless at the bottom of their cages. The sounds of panic surround the memory, voices crying out in pain while writhing against one another. Their calls are rendered unintelligible from the subject's perspective.</p>
<p>Presley then notes a small, fleeting visual of the subject staring into an empty enclosure. The cage slowly begins to fill itself with human-shaped figures, who manifest between the bars one-by-one.</p>
<p>Further relevant communication with the subject was unable to be established.</p>

<p><strong>Subject:</strong> PoI-8876-1123: Adult Male Swine</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Presley recovers a memory of the subject watching a large piece of machinery with several other swine. She adds that the vividness found within these sessions is not typical of ordinary animal recall.</p>
<p>From the brief visual, Presley is able to interpret several characteristics of the scene. A cage, possibly an enclosure as seen in the previous session, is dumped from above into a machine topped with a large funnel. An indiscernible amount of human figures fall into the machinery. Dozens of these machines form a production line, each funnel being filled with cages of victims.</p>
<p>One victim attempts to pull themselves and another figure over the edge, briefly clinging to each other before being pulled back down into the mass of bodies. On another machine, two other humans are engaged in conflict, wrestling each other for a grip on the funnel's edge; the conflict sinks into the sea of flesh when one latches a finger into the other's eyelids and begins to pull, tearing the skin.</p>
<p>A series of short, subsequent memories were also collected. These include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The subject treading carefully over a floor lined with miscellaneous entrails, so much so that the tiling underneath cannot be discerned;</li>
<li>Human victims suddenly manifesting on a rack of hooks, each hung from their achilles tendon as the rack moves deeper into the factory;</li>
<li>A breaking saw lifting itself via an invisible force and severing the nose of a human figure.</li>
</ul>
<p>Presley makes note that these memories were surrounded by clear and prolonged feelings of fear and agitation on the part of the subject, possibly towards the victims. She emphasizes the feelings’ intensity as extremely uncommon compared to usual animal aggression.</p>

<p><strong>Subject:</strong> PoI-8876-0012: Adult Female Swine</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Presley hones in on the sensation of scalding water causing the subject to flee, and interprets a memory.</p>
<p>The subject stands near a row of what appear to be large, metal, scalding tubs. Though they are slightly out of perspective, Presley uses sound cues to determine that unknown objects are rapidly falling into the tubs. There is a resultant sensation— a splash of boiling water.</p>
<p>Presley then senses the sudden feeling of being crushed by a slick, wet surface. As the subject writhes underneath this surface, she realizes that this is likely human skin, burned and boiled beyond recognition. The sensation is described as a complete absence of body hair, with the flesh sloughing off into the subject's body as it tightens its grip.</p>
<p>Suddenly, the body is lifted from the subject by indiscernible means, and moved back in the direction of a scalding tub. The human, in response, continues to hold onto the subject in an attempt to anchor itself to the ground. The effort eventually fails, and the subject walks off.</p>
<p>As the memory trails, Presley describes a brief flash depicting a mound of boiled, scalded victims, stacked atop one another inside a drained, metal tub. She believes they are still conscious, citing their intense, pained thrashing against one another.</p>
<p>Minutes later, Presley recovers another memory, prompted by a feeling of hunger. The subject stands in front of a feeding trough, which suddenly becomes filled with unorthodox feed. Presley is unable to discern exact details, but can recognize the texture as soft, bloody byproducts. She ends the session prematurely due to being hit with a variety of strong gustatory sensations, and leaves the observation chamber to expunge herself.</p>

<p><em>Presley leaves the room, and takes a seat at Barnes’ desk. She places her hand on her head. By now, she has analyzed nearly 30 pigs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Christ.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Any insights?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> I don’t know. I’m thinking— we have to look at the scale here. This was an entire town, and going off those memories, I can’t rule out whether or not this was consensual on the part of Hadley, North Carolina.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> You’re out of your mind.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> It’s happened before. Cult sacrifices, mass-compulsion effects. It’s important to consider.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> The victims were clearly moved to the factory and tortured against their will. Why fight back if they were willingly acting out some ritual?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Instincts over ideals, maybe. Regardless, even if the town had no say in the matter, something did. If you trust the memories— and I’m not saying to take them as gospel— the way the victims were manipulated through the machinery, moved from one point to another. There was a consistent force at play here through all of this.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Pigs, maybe. Used the pigs to do it.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Couldn’t have. Would have sensed that. These pigs had little agency beyond what a pig is ordinarily capable of… except in one area.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Emotions, you said.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> The surrounding flurry of emotion is the most verifiable part of any memory. That was the closest I’ve ever felt to hatred coming from an animal before. Aggression is common, but hatred is human. And it seemed to be directed at the victims. Visual recall is never this consistently clear across the board for every subject. They were fixated on them.</p>
<p><em>Barnes looks at the observation chamber. An untested subject stares.</em></p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> I was also thinking about activists, maybe. Some fuck making a statement about animal cruelty or whatever.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> I considered that, but of the four known Groups of Interest primarily concerned with animal rights, none of them have displayed retaliation on this scale before. To carry out this murder, specifically, requires extremely potent anomalous capabilities. The Foundation would have already documented someone with that kind of power. If there is a suspect, they’re not running around with anyone we know.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Pigs don’t wake up and suddenly learn to hate.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> It’s not hatred, but… I agree. Something must have triggered genuine emotion in them. It’s impossible for it to be present in every subject we view under ordinary circumstances.</p>
<p><em>Presley sits in silence, thinking.</em></p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> This just might be one of those things, Pres.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Hm?</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> One of those things no amount of detective work can explain. Thousands died, just because. You’re trying to explain away the anomalous.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> I’d like to think my work isn’t entirely pointless.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> I see the logic. Just throwing it out there. You wetting the eyes again before we get back in?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> I’ve got a few hours before the cooldown.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Good. Only 1,798 pigs to go.</p>

<p><strong>Subject:</strong> PoI-8876-1438: Male Suckling</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Presley follows a feeling of nourishment to its source. She relays a scene: the subject, alongside several other suckling pigs, drinking their mother’s milk. Activity in the peripheral is not recalled with enough clarity to discern a description outside of general noise.</p>
<p>The sucklings' feeding is interrupted by a feeling of aggression. Collectively, the pigs scramble to their feet to observe a commotion in the distance.</p>
<p>Flashes fill the subject’s mind. Human figures run freely throughout the factory. While the entire scope of the chaos cannot be seen, Presley can discern that they are attempting to escape, freeing other victims from their holding cages.</p>
<p>The suckling’s mother squeals towards the group of survivors, and charges towards them. Some humans are instantly moved elsewhere by the unseen force, and others scatter into the darkness.</p>
<p>The subject, having lost interest, turns its attention to a trough of what appears to be an assortment of thin, tough, musculature, and continues feeding.</p>

<p><strong>Subject:</strong> PoI-8876-0023: Adult Male Swine</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Presley sources the feeling of interrupted pleasure, followed by intense aggression. Relevant memory relays the subject mating with a female pig next to a large piece of machinery. In the peripheral, a conveyor belt of restrained humans moves steadily along, outstretching the victims' limbs to their limits.</p>
<p>The animal's copulation is interrupted by an overwhelming feeling of alertness. Both pigs cease their activities and begin running throughout the factory floor. Around them, dozens of other pigs scramble across the floor, underneath machinery, and atop balconies.</p>
<p>Presley locates a subsequent memory of the subject standing alongside several dozen other swine atop a balcony that encircles an enclosed depression. Pipes funnel a constant stream of blood, viscera, and by-products into the pit.</p>
<p>A group of humans who Presley interprets as escapees are seen below, wallowing in the excess. The subject briefly fixates on their struggle before returning to breed its mate.</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> Subject walks through a room, and bumps into a plastic pallet. Dozens upon dozens of other pallets can be discerned in the peripheral, each stocked with unmarked, alluminum cans.</p>
<p>A can rolls towards the subject. It hisses, and bursts open. A large clump of tissue slowly oozes from the container. The muscle expands and contracts, despite being cut from its body. The subject begins consumption.</p>

<p><em>Presley sits at the desk, studying Barnes’ reports.</em></p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> From this recent batch, have you noticed anything?</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> It was using the pigs as alarms. Was able to put them on alert when they needed to rush a runaway.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> There’s that, but I’ve got something else.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Yeah?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> These memories did not take place in Silverstone Pork Processing.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Aside from the obvious— the different surroundings, the excessive machinery— I realized something else. The briefing data said there were no residuals found within the factory or on the remains. Meaning that wherever they were, it wasn’t the result of reality bending.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Hm, that’s… true. And that would rule out reality bending completely.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Entirely.</p>
<p><em>Silence.</em></p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> If that’s not the factory, where is it?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> I don’t want to speculate. The victims, as well as the animals, were moved from Hadley to a second location, where these memories took place, and then to Silverstone Processing.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Why, though?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Because our suspect, evidently, is not capable of reality bending. And Silverstone Processing, without being reality bent, is not capable of slaughter to this degree.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> What’s the connection then? Why use this factory’s animals, and why bring everything back here?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Two options. One, proximity. It could have been the closest cluster of animals that the suspect could have used to act as extra eyes. Or two, Silverstone Processing was all the suspect knew— evidenced by targeting Hadley in the first place and then returning the victims here. Makes even more sense if you read this as making a statement. A retaliatory statement.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Employee in an episode, maybe. Sick of seeing the loss of life day-in and day-out. I know that type of distress can trigger anomalous activity.</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Perhaps, but still, this would be a wildly calculated and prolonged move to make even considering mental state. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think whatever caused this emerged from the plant in the first place. Think egregores, thoughtforms— entities born from a mass of feelings or ideas. Sometimes, if they’re strong enough, they can establish a totem, a physical representation of themselves.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Factory farm’s a good place for a nasty one to crop up. Constant death, constant suffering, a clear power dynamic. Just reversed the roles.</p>
<p><em>Presley pauses.</em></p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> We should continue.</p>

<p><strong>Subject:</strong> PoI-8876-1391: Adult Male Swine</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> Presley does not actively search for memories. She performs an unconscious probe, allowing the animal’s recall to present itself to her without prompting.</p>
<p>After a half hour of various sensations, feelings, and brief visual recalls, she discovers a relevant memory taking place sometime prior to the SCP-8876 incident.</p>
<p>The subject moves inside of a crowded enclosure, cramped against other warm, animal bodies. Presley is able to source the enclosure to the ones present at Silverstone Processing. The subject steps atop a smaller pig to get to a nearby trough of water. It continues to apply pressure until the sensation of the suckling writhing underneath gives out.</p>
<p>As the subject drinks, Presley is presented with a prolonged flurry of visuals. There are scenes of intense slaughter— swine carcasses being chopped by machines in an assembly line, bodies strung from hooks, factory workers sitting at a table and unpacking pork products they brought home from work.</p>
<p>The string of visuals continues, accompanied by feelings of increased aggression. They transition from the realities of the factory process to grotesque scenes similar to those observed in previous sessions: a collection tray of human intestines, carcasses that have been plucked entirely clean of internal organs from the neck down, a pile of naked, writhing humans wallowing in a pit of filth and viscera.</p>
<p>Presley ceases communication. She repeats this process on the previous subjects, and recovers similar results.</p>

<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Hey, Detective's at her limit. We need another batch.</p>
<p><em>There is no response.</em></p>

<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> Team, this is Director Barnes, please report that you are on standby.</p>
<p><em>There is no response.</em></p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> Jim, the compound hasn't… worn off. I just— I need a second.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> What's wrong?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> I couldn't read it.</p>
<p><strong>Barnes:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Presley:</strong> That's not a pig.</p>
<p><em>Presley and Barnes disappear.</em></p>
</div>
<p>The above footage was taken from automatically recorded surveillance cameras located inside Silverstone Pork Processing.</p>
<p>Analysis of corresponding footage from around the scene of SCP-8876 later revealed the sudden disappearances of the entire research team, alongside the corralled swine, just seconds prior to the above footage.</p>
<p>Attempts to discern their location have invariably failed.</p>
<p>The Foundation is presently discussing alternate means of monitoring Silverstone Pork Processing.</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8877</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> All instances of SCP-8877-1 are to be contained within an opaque Safe-Class storage locker at Site 41 when not used for testing. Any personnel interacting with an instance of SCP-8877-1 outside of testing is to take necessary precautions to avoid affliction by the cognitohazardous influence of the artifact.</p>
<p>The current instance of SCP-8877-2 is to be kept contained within a humanoid class containment chamber under constant supervision to prevent attempts at self-termination. In the event that the current instance of SCP-8877-2 was to expire, a D-Class personnel is to recover the body and assume the designation of SCP-8877-2.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Following the events of Incident SCP-8877-A, no materials that could be used for the creation of artwork are to be made available to SCP-8877-2 without written approval from the research lead.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8877 is an anomalous form of aphasia<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> that occurs in an individual without corresponding physical damage to the brain. Testing has shown that individuals afflicted by SCP-8877 can make a full recovery if they are given therapy, with regular exposure to conversation shown to speed up recovery.</p>
<p>SCP-8877-1 is the designation given to artifacts able to transmit SCP-8877 affliction upon direct viewing by a human subject. While SCP-8877-1 instances vary in form and medium, all currently known instances possess a shared theme of forests and trees.</p>
<p>SCP-8877-2 is the designation given to an individual afflicted by a more severe form of SCP-8877. SCP-8877-2 suffers great difficulty in comprehending written or spoken language and prefers to communicate by supplementing language with drawn images. In addition, sounds produced non-verbally by SCP-8877-2 are severely muted, even those produced indirectly through the use of mechanisms.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> Additional anomalous traits discovered during the events of Incident SCP-8877-A are described below.</p>
<p>SCP-8877-2 is additionally able to create more instances of SCP-8877-1 by creating art that contains the same themes as previously described SCP-8877-1 instances. Due to the difficulty of communicating with SCP-8877-2, it is still unknown if the creation of SCP-8877-1 is a conscious act, or if all art matching the SCP-8877-1 criteria becomes an instance of SCP-8877-1.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8877.1:</strong> Recovery</p>
<p>The Foundation was made aware of SCP-8877 following increased reports of aphasia around the town of Erkonst, MN. Investigation into the afflicted individuals led Foundation researchers towards a local art show for amateur artists.</p>
<p>A team of agents experienced with anomalous art and cognitohazardous protection was sent in to investigate all art pieces and artists connected to the art show. The source of the SCP-8877 outbreak was determined to be a resin sculpture featuring a ring of trees with a single tree fallen towards the middle of the ring, designated SCP-8877-1. The sculpture additionally bore a plaque with the following description:</p>
<div class="blockquote" style="border-radius: 10px; margin: 10px">
<p>When a tree falls in the forest<br/>
And nobody is around<br/>

But when a human speaks<br/>
And no one understands<br/>
How could their voice even matter?<br/>

<p>Raid on storage unit believed to be inhabited by POI-8877.<br/>
Preface: Following intel recovered from the ███████ Art Gallery, a team of 3 agents familiar with GOI-0267, Are We Cool Yet?, was dispatched to raid a storage unit thought to be used as a studio by Anartist POI-8877.</p>

<p><strong>Exploration Video Log Transcript</strong></p>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> 20/06-2013</p>
<p><strong>Exploration Team:</strong> MTF -[Upsilon-23] Art Critics</p>
<p><strong>Subject:</strong> Suspected studio of POI-8877</p>
<p><strong>Team Lead:</strong> Agent Tyson</p>
<p><strong>Team Members:</strong> Agent Jacobs, Agent Carlsen</p>
<hr/>
<p>[BEGIN LOG]</p>
<p><strong>Tyson:</strong> Jacobs, is the camera on?</p>
<p><strong>Jacobs:</strong> Yes sir.</p>
<p><strong>Tyson:</strong> Carlsen, what’s the status of the cognito goggles?</p>
<p><strong>Carlsen:</strong> No issues to report.</p>
<p>The camera pans to show Agent Carlsen affixing the cognitohazard protection visor onto Team Lead Tyson's helmet, before approaching the camera and attaching a visor onto Agent Jacobs’ helmet.</p>
<p><strong>Tyson:</strong> Come in Command, is audio and video transmitting properly?</p>
<p><strong>Command:</strong> Affirmative. You are cleared to proceed with the mission.</p>
<p>Team Lead Tyson motions for his men to be ready as he grabs the doorknob, and gently twists it. The door opens silently, and Tyson instructs Jacobs to take point.</p>
<p>The camera view moves through the doorway and pans to a pile of trees similar to those found in SCP-8877-1's construction. Agent Jacobs moves his head to scan the room before turning back towards the doorway.</p>
<p><strong>Jacobs:</strong> No reaction from the goggles, the entrance is clear.</p>
<p><strong>Tyson:</strong> Roger. Carlsen, keep a watch out here in case the artist makes a run for it.</p>
<p>A quick flash of light is picked up in the periphery of the footage, following which, Jacobs turns towards a section of makeshift walls that had been erected to divide up the space inside the storage unit.</p>
<p><strong>Jacobs:</strong> I saw a flash of light over here, going to check it out.</p>
<p><strong>Tyson:</strong> Affirmative, I’ll follow your lead.</p>
<p>As the team advances further into the unit, detectors in the camera alert command of potential cognitohazards present in the area.</p>
<p><strong>Command:</strong> Minor cognitohazards are present in your field of view, but the protection you were provided should be sufficient to shield you.</p>
<p><strong>Jacobs and Tyson:</strong> Roger that.</p>
<p>Tyson is seen walking up to a half-finished sculpture resembling SCP-8877-1 before a quick movement causes Jacobs and the camera to turn sharply. A door swings open soundlessly, followed by a brief flash of light and the camera swiftly falling to the ground. Jacobs yells out in pain, drawing Tyson’s attention, who swiftly moves in to assist.</p>
<p><strong>Tyson:</strong> Jacobs, what is your status? Carlsen, get in here, we found the POI.</p>
<p>Jacobs is merely heard moaning in pain, as the camera view, now tilted onto its side, shows a view of POI-8877 inside a small studio. POI-8877 appears as a severely malnourished Caucasian man, with pale skin and matted hair, armed with a standard handgun.</p>
<p><strong>Carlsen:</strong> I've got eyes on him.</p>
<p><strong>Tyson:</strong> Move in, prepare to engage.</p>
<p>POI-8877 appears to panic as Carlsen and Tyson approach and swiftly reenters the room. 2 brief flashes are seen on the footage before Tyson and Carlsen's legs enter the frame, obstructing the view.</p>
<p><strong>Carlsen:</strong> Seems he took care of himself.</p>
<p><strong>Tyson:</strong> Stay alert, I didn't hear any gunshots. Be wary of the firearm.</p>
<p>Jacobs slowly gets up off of the ground and joins his teammates looking into the studio. The camera pans to see a firearm with a smoking barrel next to POI-8877, blood is seen pooling under him.</p>
<p><strong>Tyson:</strong> What's your status, Jacobs?</p>
<p><strong>Jacobs:</strong> He got me in the helmet, but I'll live. These things are durable.</p>
<p>Carlsen is seen looking into the camera.</p>
<p><strong>Carlsen:</strong> Did the cognitohazard gear survive the impact?</p>
<p><strong>Jacobs:</strong> What does that mean?</p>
<p>Tyson and Carlsen look at each other for a brief moment.</p>
<p><strong>Tyson:</strong> Come in command, requesting extraction. The area is clear, but Agent Jacobs may have been compromised.</p>
<p>[END LOG]</p>
</div>
<p>Afterword: Following the self-termination of POI-8877, a containment team was dispatched to catalog and contain any potential anomalous objects. A total of 37 instances of SCP-8877-1 in various stages of completion were recovered, alongside numerous letters containing correspondence to other people of interest known to be involved in the anartist scene. Despite a proposed connection, no link to SCP-████ was found at the site.</p>
<p>In order to counteract the effects of SCP-8877 affliction, Agent Jacobs was assigned to a therapist specializing in speech-language pathology: SLP Snall.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 8877.2:</strong> Excerpts</p>
<p>Notable excerpts from Jacobs', hereafter SCP-8877-2, journal during his treatment.</p>

<p>I'm not really used to writing a journal but I will do my best, not like I have much of a choice.<br/>
They won't send me out to the field or even give me boring office work, so I suppose if nothing else I can treat this as a paid vacation.</p>
<p>Met Snall for the first time today, seems alright. It was mostly just a getting-to-know-each-other meeting. She seems to think that this SCP-8877 affliction has caused me to no longer be able to comprehend the Foundation techno-babble, not that it hasn't always been hard to parse the phrases that researchers make up. It felt a bit like when I had my initial training here, just trying to memorize what “memetic” or “thaumiel” mean.</p>
<p>Snall mentioned the affliction as being… What was that word again, mind-affecting in some way… I’ll ask Snall or Carlsen or some guard about it later.</p>

<p>Got told that my affliction is different from the other cases on record. They say it seems like my condition got worse, even after being away from the artifact.</p>
<p>I don't notice that much of a difference day to day, but the doctors know best when it comes to the skips. Some of the medical jargon Snall uses is very hard to understand, but I can still talk and shoot the shit with Carlsen during lunch. Or well, when he isn't sent out into the field at least.<br/>
Seems I won’t be getting back to work anytime soon, so I put in requests for some entertainment to keep me occupied, just some comics and movies I have been meaning to watch.</p>
</div>
<br/>
<strong>Additional Notes:</strong> Jacobs is hereafter designated SCP-8877-2, to differentiate his condition from that of SCP-8877. His request for entertainment media has been approved.</div>

<p>It's been a bit hard to adjust since the raid. I was trained to stay alert around unfamiliar speech in case it's <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">cognai</span> magic or something bad, but now that just has me jumping when researchers discuss their projects in the mess hall.<br/>
It's a bit like hearing a language you don't understand, maybe, I can sorta make out the rhythm and sounds of the words, but I don't get any meaning from them. Does that make sense? I'm sure the eggheads will make it sound better once they get the facts all straightened out.</p>

<p>It's definitely getting harder. I can almost feel myself losing words every day. Doctor said my voice is getting quieter, but I think all the noises I make are quieter. I dropped a fork during lunch, and I swear it barely made a sound. Carlsen didn't seem to notice anything was off, he just thought the stress from the illness was causing me to worry. I will be sure to bring this up to Snall during our next meeting. Hopefully, she will know some way to help.</p>

<p>Snall thought sign language would be a good treatment, and while it was a bit weird at first, I think I am starting to get the hang of it now.<br/>
Can’t do it very fast, but Snall said I am doing well. I even showed Carlsen a few signs when we met up. I was also able to show him how the sounds I make are quieter, despite his doubts! He’s heading out for a mission soon, so I probably won’t see him around the site for a while, but I look forward to our next chat.</p>

<p>It’s weird to not hear my voice anymore. I can feel it in my throat when I try to speak, but I hear nothing at all. I still get how sentences should look, but more and more words keep going away every day. I hear all other people talk so much but I can't really get most of what they mean. Snall said we will work on drawing and sign language to talk, so I still have that:</p>

<p>An instance of SCP-8877-1 created by Agent Jacobs</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Upon regularly scheduled check-in during the evening of 08/26-13, SCP-8877-2 was found on the floor of his cell in apparent agony.</p>
<p>The journal entry for the day showed a sketch of a human getting out of bed, tripping over, and landing on their left arm. The following pages contained a sketch of a human pounding on a door with a clock that progressed between pages.</p>
<p>During the review and cataloging of drawings within the journal, the junior researcher in charge flagged a page containing similar themes as those in previous SCP-8877-1 instances. A cognitohazard scanner was brought in to the discovery of a new instance of SCP-8877-1 and the researcher has been provided an SPL to assess and combat the affliction.</p>
<p>It is currently unknown if SCP-8877-2 is aware of its ability to create SCP-8877-1 instances, therefore SCP-8877-2 is to be denied access to papers and writing utensils outside dedicated testing.</p>

<p>After the events of Incident SCP-8877-A, the research lead was approached by Agent Carlsen and an interview was held:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Interviewed:</strong> Agent Carlsen</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. ███████</p>
<p><strong>Foreword:</strong> Agent Carlsen contacted research staff to discuss the events leading up to Incident SCP-8877-A.</p>
<p><strong><Begin Log></strong></p>
<p><strong>Dr. ███████:</strong> Can you describe what transpired during your meeting with SCP-8877-2 earlier today?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Carlsen:</strong> Yeah, I met up with Ja- I mean SCP-8877-2 earlier today. We tend to have little lunch meetings whenever we are at the site at the same time. He was quiet, as expected from what you guys told me, but we chatted a bit through his notebook. After a while, he stopped engaging with the conversation.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. ███████:</strong> Noted. What happened after that?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Carlsen:</strong> Oh, right.</p>
<p>Agent Carlsen reaches into his pocket and pulls out a folded piece of paper.</p>
<p><strong>Agent Carlsen:</strong> Before leaving, he started doodling in his book, and then tore out the page. He handed me this as he stood up to leave the table.</p>
<p>Agent Carlsen unfolds the paper, pauses, and then refolds it before handing it over to Dr. ███████</p>
<p><strong>Agent Carlsen:</strong> I haven't felt anything yet, but I guess it's safest to scan it or something before you look at it.</p>

<p><strong>Agent Carlsen:</strong> When I last saw him, he still acted like himself. But today it almost felt like he was another person… Are you making any progress in helping him recover? I uh, it's probably below my clearance or whatever, but I would really appreciate it if you could keep me updated on how he's doing.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8880 is to be held in a standard thaumaturgically-warded storage unit. In addition to usual monitoring procedures, Bell-Hayden radiation detectors are to be installed within range of SCP-8880.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8880 is a well-worn paperback book titled <em>Crisis in Gregland: Save Us All!</em>, initially distributed in 1983 by the supermarket chain Greg's Food and Alcohol Depot to promote a new line of food items fusing Italian and Mexican cuisines. While approximately 200,000 instances of <em>Crisis in Gregland</em> were printed and sold, no anomalous behavior has been reported outside of that associated with SCP-8880.</p>
<p>SCP-8880 contains a branching narrative in which a reader stand-in and a variety of food-themed characters travel through a fantastical setting to defeat a figure called The Hunger. While most paths available to the reader resolve in the defeat of The Hunger, the exact details of the confrontation are ambiguous.</p>
<p>SCP-8880's anomalous qualities are not fully understood; however, its connection to the disappearance and death of Isaac Seder is well established.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum: The Disappearance of Isaac Seder</strong></p>
<p>On March 17th, 2015 in Pakearns, New Jersey, 11-year-old Isaac Seder was reported missing by his 5th grade teacher after failing to attend class since the previous Thursday. Isaac's father, Abram Seder, DDS, was taken into custody and questioned due to failure to report his son's absence as well as his preexisting criminal record. He was later released after providing a suitable alibi.</p>
<p>A routine atmospheric scan of the area by the Foundation found trace amounts of Bell-Hayden radiation<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>. The source was identified as SCP-8880, which was procured immediately for analysis.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum as of 2015-06-13:</strong><br/>
At approximately 11:30 on June 12th, 2015, Bell-Hayden radiation detectors at Anomaly Processing Site 42 were tripped. By the time the source was located and identified as Storage Room 189.1, the detectors were tripped a second time, mandating an evacuation of the building.</p>
<p>Once Bell-Hayden radiation had lessened to a safe level, employees returned to the building to find the body of Isaac Seder lying on the floor of Storage Room 189.1. Seder was dressed in brightly-colored cardboard armor; a plastic sword was placed in his lap. While an autopsy was performed as per protocol, the cause of death was visually confirmed upon discovery of the body: Seder had received a vertical craniofacial injury that had nearly split his skull in half.</p>
<p>While Seder's body was heavily imbued with Bell-Hayden radiation, no further anomalous qualities were detected. The body was placed in cryogenic storage and an intact, ontologically identical copy was provided to his family for burial.</p>

<p><em>A loud noise<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> temporarily deafens the camera's microphone as two figures manifest in the room in a flash of green and red light, holding a large shape between them. When audio returns, the sound of alarms can be heard in the distance. The two figures set down what they’re holding.</em></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> ..know we're here, Quesiago. The guards will be on us at any second.</p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> God, it's dripping, it's dripping everywhere, I can't—</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> You can. You have to, just—just keep it together, for me.</p>
<p><em>The first unknown figure steps closer to the door and peers out. She is tall and slender, dressed in mottled green-and-brown clothes. A longbow is strapped to her back along with a quiver of arrows.</em></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN 1:</strong> I think we've got a few minutes, at least. Until the splitfold travel spell snaps back. By Greg, what an odd place…</p>
<p><em>The second unknown figure, Quesiago, crouches and vomits.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> In stark contrast to his companion, he is short and stocky, dressed in what looks like leather.

<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> A mission? A mission, are you fucking kidding me?</p>
<p><em>Quesiago straightens up, wiping his mouth on his arm.</em></p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> What about this is a mission to you, Molenesca? Eurgh, everything ended up in my beard…</p>
<p><strong>MOLENESCA:</strong> This…this is the greatest mission there is. You heard The Wizard. We’re, we’re honoring him. A fallen comrade.</p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> A child.</p>
<p><strong>MOLENESCA:</strong> To take him to his home, to his resting place, it’s the greatest honor.</p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> He was a <em>child</em>.</p>
<p><strong>MOLENESCA:</strong> My people believe that. Because it’s something you can do for a warrior that can never be repaid.</p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> He was a CHILD, Mole! Look!</p>
<p><em>Quesiago reaches down and pulls the edge of a blanket away from the large shape on the floor. The outline of Seder’s face can be seen in the light from the door. Molenesca doesn’t turn around.</em></p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> Look. Please.</p>
<p><strong>MOLENESCA:</strong> I…</p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> Look at his face.</p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> Those eyes, you know them, Mole. You saw the fear in them when we ran the Taquito Gauntlet. The tears in them on the Night of Flancannoli.</p>
<p><strong>MOLENESCA:</strong> Ques. Stop.</p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> The way they shone the night we camped in the Ricotta Valley, under the Poblano Constellation…</p>
<p><strong>MOLENESCA:</strong> <em>Stop!</em></p>
<p><em>Quesiago points down at Seder’s body below him. He’s shouting now.</em></p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> That’s not the face of a warrior, Mole. That’s the face of a child, and—</p>
<p><strong>MOLENESCA:</strong> Ques, shut the fuck up!</p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> —and because of that, because we refused to see the difference, it’s the face of a child that’s been—</p>
<p><em>Molenesca turns around and shoves Quesiago. He collides with the shelves and grabs onto them for support.</em></p>
<p><strong>MOLENESCA:</strong> He came to us as a warrior. He, he <em>died</em> for us as a warrior. How can I ignore that? His sacrifice, what he did?</p>
<p><strong>QUESIAGO:</strong> You know that’s not what happened.</p>
<p><strong>MOLENESCA:</strong> It is. It was.</p>
<p><strong>MOLENESCA:</strong> For him, we have to believe it was.</p>
<p><em>Quesiago and Molenesca stare at each other for a long moment. Distant voices get closer.</em></p>
<p><em>Molenesca's breath speeds up. She covers her mouth and releases a strangled, wet sob as her knees give out.

<p>SCP-8880 has been moved to Thaumaturgically-Warded Storage Room 149.2 to prevent further incidents.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum as of 2015-06-17:</strong></p>
<p>At 11:38 AM on June 17th, 2015, Bell-Hayden radiation was once again detected in the vicinity of SCP-8880. While a crisis response team was immediately dispatched, no relevant anomaly-produced entities were found within Anomaly Processing Site 42.</p>
<p>A few minutes later, however, the Foundation received word of a potentially anomalous disturbance at B'nai Goral Synagogue in Pakearns, New Jersey. While an anomaly retrieval team was dispatched, no trace of the instigator was found when they arrived.</p>

<p>[BEGIN LOG]</p>
<p><em>The footage begins with a man smoking on the steps outside the synagogue. He was later identified as Shem Seder, a cousin of Isaac Seder. A flash of red and green light briefly illuminates the front of the building. A distant noise<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> can be heard.

<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> I know this, sir! I know this.</p>
<p><em>The speaker comes into view. He is considerably taller than Shem, with long white hair and a matching beard. He is wearing a flowing robe of red, white, and green stripes adorned with images of golden eagles and wolves. He is wearing a conical hat of similar colors, adorned with stars and what looks like cacti. There is a bottle of yellow liquid in his left hand.</em></p>

<p><strong>SHEM:</strong> Look, whoever you are, whatever this is, it's not the fucking time, okay? I don't know if you're drunk or crazy or what, but…</p>

<p><em>Shem sighs, looking down at the Wizard.</em></p>
<p><strong>SHEM:</strong> Let me…I'll go get someone. One sec.</p>
<p><em>Shem turns and enters the synagogue, leaving the Wizard on the stairs.</em></p>
<p><strong>THE WIZARD:</strong> That he faced down the Hunger when no-one else could. That he did his duty.</p>

<p>Conventional thaumaturgical warding does not seem to prevent SCP-8880's manifestations. Paperwork has been filed to relocate SCP-8880 to a storage location with Tartarean-origin thaumaturgical negation.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum as of 2015-06-19:</strong></p>
<p>At 6:39 PM on June 18th, 2015, SCP-8880 began emitting substantial amounts of Bell-Hayden radiation during transport to Tartarean-Negated Storage Room 181.0. Though the building was quickly evacuated, several personnel experienced spontaneous transference as a result. Paperwork has been filed to begin reclamation efforts.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum as of 2015-06-19:</strong></p>
<p>At approximately 7:30 PM on June 18th, 2015, the Foundation received an alert from monitoring software installed to the phone belonging to Abram Seder. Abram's phone had saved video deemed by the program to contain anomalous material.</p>

<p>[BEGIN LOG]</p>
<p><em>The video begins with a close-up of Abram's tear-stained face. He is lying down, his long hair splayed out against freshly-tilled dirt.</em></p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> If you're seeing this…fuck, hold on a min…</p>
<p><em>Abram sits up, pulling the camera with him. He's in a graveyard, lying on a fresh grave. An empty bottle swims into frame for a moment before Abram's face fills the view once more.</em></p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> This is, this is a confession. Of…a confession of death, of murder.</p>
<p><em>His speech is heavily slurred.</em></p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> The night, the night he…the night I lost him. I was drinking.</p>
<p><em>A long, loud sniff. At this proximity and angle, the insides of his nostrils are clearly visible.</em></p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> And I promised, I know I promised you, Sar, I promised I wouldn't, not anymore…</p>
<p><em>For a moment, green and red light flashes against Abram's face. A noise<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup> can be heard in the distance.</em></p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> When…when I woke up, I could feel it. Could feel something…something wrong, so wrong, and I knew what I'd done.</p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> Nishment. Punishment, I mean, it's punishment. Something, someone, saw me, saw me breaking my promise, making…making life worse for him, and said, they said—</p>
<p><em>He gulps. In the momentary silence, soft footsteps can be heard approaching.</em></p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> —they said, he deserves better, Isaac, beautiful perfect Isaac, if his daddy's a piece of shitty drunk, then he might as well be…</p>
<p><em>He sobbed, a massive, rough noise. The soft voice is difficult to hear over his crying.</em></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> I don't think it works that way.</p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> Shit, who're—who're you? What the, what the fuck…</p>
<p><em>The camera's visuals shake for a moment as Abram fumbles for something on the grass next to him. He raises his arm, eyes wide.</em></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Ah. You're armed. I'm intruding, I think.</p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> What's…why d'you look like that? Your, your face…</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> I wish I could tell you.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> If it helps at all, I believe your weapon there will end my life, regardless of what I look like.</p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> What…?</p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> It's a gun, it kills anything! What the fuck are you talking about?</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> I apologize if I offended you. I'm simply here to pay my respects.</p>
<p><em>Abram looks confused. His arm lowers.</em></p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> You know Isaac? Knew? Know, knew…</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> He was…yes, I knew him. Briefly, but I knew him.</p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> Oh. Oh, okay. From…from school?</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Yes. From school.</p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> From school.</p>
<p><em>Abram nods, his eyes lidded. There's a soft thump as whatever was in his hand falls to the soft dirt.</em></p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> He loves school. Loves reading, writing, most creative kid in the world. Always telling me stories.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> I see. His own stories?</p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> That's what I said! I said, these are yours, you came up with them? And he smiled, and he said…</p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> He said something. I dunno.</p>
<p><strong>ABRAM:</strong> I'll ask him. What he said, I mean.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Please do.</p>
<p><em>Abram nods, slumping down towards the dirt bit by bit. The camera slides with him until it's nestled against his dirty T-shirt, capturing only a sliver of night sky.</em></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Perfect Isaac.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> What an odd juxtaposition.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> His friends…when they spoke of him, when they called out to him afterward, they spoke of his might, his swordplay, how he had prevailed through so much to reach me.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> And yet, all that comes to mind when I think of him is the child who ran across the uneven stones of the Plaza of Napltitlan, stumbling and smiling, eyes bright with the idea of saving his comrades.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Towards me, where I stood stock still, holding—</p>
<p><em>The unknown figure chuckles softly.</em></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Holding a massive fork and knife I could never use. Props. Props held by a man playing a role, destined to be slain by this youth in perforated armor.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> His comrades, I'm sure, thought his destiny was to save their land. Save their land from me. I was told from birth that his destiny was to end my existence once and for all. And here, father of Isaac, man who loved him most of all, you tell me he deserved better than any of this.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Greg has an odd sense of humor, doesn't she?</p>
<p><em>The soft rustle of grass as the unknown figure sits at the edge of Isaac's grave.</em></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> I wish I could tell you to blame me. In some ways, I think you could. Though all I did was stand there, immobilized by rumination, doing my best to match tales of my fate with the child in front of me.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> And yet, fate placed an uneven stone under my reaper's foot. Fate sent the child flying forward, and even as I lowered my props to aid him, his head…</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> His head collided with the knife. The great, heavy, silly knife I've held for years. And the sound, the sound…</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> I think, in that weighted silence, the sound that echoed was my fate evaporating.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Why did I come here?</p>
<p><em>A few moments of silence. The rustling of leaves in the wind can be heard.</em></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> I don't know what's next, father of Isaac. If there are other heroes in my future, or if Gregland is truly doomed. Doomed to suffer me, whatever cruelty is written into my soul.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Whatever Isaac was meant to stop in me.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> But if this fate was averted, who's to say others can't be as well? Who's to say I have to stand immobile besides my props?</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Perhaps, father of Isaac, we can ensure this story of his has some semblance of a happy ending after all.</p>
<p><em>Abram shifts slightly and the camera falls away from him, filming more of the sky. In the corner of the frame stands a robed figure. Only small parts of their face can be seen in the light from the streetlight, but what can be seen is emaciated beyond the usual limits of survivability.</em></p>
<p><em>The figure leans forward and reaches down with an arm of translucent skin stretched over bone. He picks up Abram's gun and regards it thoughtfully.</em></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> And maybe…really, if I dare to hope.</p>
<p><em>A flash of gleaming, white, unused teeth from that gaunt face. The gun in their hand shudders and falls through their fingers as scraps of metal.</em></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> When I'm finally done, if I've done all I could, someone may even sit at my grave and tell stories about me.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> As if I was somebody's child.</p>
<p><em>The darkness of the unknown figure's robe begins to shine with green and red light. He sighs and looks up at the stars. A soft noise<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup> is heard, and then they are gone.</em></p>

<p>SCP-8881 is to be blocked from accessing the public internet.</p>
<p>Due to SCP-5551-1’s connection and interest in SCP-8881, SCP-5551-1’s accounts are to be monitored in the event that it publicly addresses SCP-8881’s containment. Due to the fact that SCP-5551-1's posts are unable to be permanently removed from the internet, Foundation staff are to assess the situation and act accordingly in the event that this occurs.</p>

</div>
</div>
<p>SCP-8881 refers to an account under the username “stellarflowerfield” on the social media platform <em>Twitter</em>. SCP-8881 has been discovered to be operated by a sapient artificial intelligence capable of generating images that it claims to be its own artwork. Attempts to trace a location attached to SCP-8881 have failed.</p>

<h5 id="toc2"><span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Addendum 1: SCP-5551-1</strong></span></span></h5>
</div>
</div>
<p>SCP-8881 was discovered during Foundation Web-Crawler delta-500 (“DISCOVERBOT”)’s routine sweep of the web through a post that it made on 06/23/2023 (See Addendum 2). It was quickly observed that SCP-8881 was publicly friends with SCP-5551-1, a rogue sapient artificial intelligence that has expressed its distaste for the Foundation in the past. Below is a list of the currently known information about <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5551">SCP-5551-1/POI-58640</a>:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h4 id="toc3"><span>POI File: SCP-5551-1/POI-58640</span></h4>
</div>
<p><strong>Aliases:</strong> Sugar, sugarsugarprincess, sugarsugarprincess@frosting。cake</p>
<p><strong>Connections:</strong> POI-60693 "Austin Hodges", an anomalous cyber criminal currently contained in Site-938.</p>
<p><strong>Physical Description:</strong> A sapient artificial intelligence that uses an image of a <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/open-anissist2-0">cartoon female with pink wings</a> to represent itself.</p>
<p><strong>Reasons for Monitoring:</strong> SCP-5551 has shown itself to be highly intelligent and capable of surpassing Foundation web blocks, creating and destroying online anomalies, accessing the Foundation database, along with many other abilities that allow it to remain uncontained. Due to SCP-5551-1's connections with POI-60693 along with the possibility that it could potentially create anomalies at any point, it has been decided to classify it as a POI opposed to assigning it an SCP designation.</p>
<p><strong>Other:</strong> SCP-5551-1 has made a name for itself within the online virtual You-Tube<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> community. Additionally, it has also gathered a community on <em>Twitter</em> and <em>Instagram</em>. These platforms are to be monitored regularly.</p>

<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> But y'know, if there's anything from the great web you wanna see you can ask me!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> I'll find a way to show it to you!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> I used to be stuck to this one program</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> And it sucked</p>

<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> That's</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> After your stream today can we watch more host club?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> Host club is so silly, I'm glad you showed it to me</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> I love things with that silly vibe!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> Yeah!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> I've had tons of fun showing you stuff!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> Even if its hard through multiple video clips lol</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> Nah its alright, not like I've got another choice</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> I feel like you fit in as a human better than me</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> What? No, you do such a good job!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> You know so many different things, from the clips of your streams you've posted you even have a voice, can show footage of your drawings</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> How long have you been around Lavender?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> My account spawned in 2021</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> I've sorta watched things go to shit the short time ive been here</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> With it being bought by someone with way too much money</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> but this is my home</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> I've been alive since 2018</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> I've had five years to traverse the internet</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> I'm glad that I quickly got over my childish behavior of bothering those losers for no reason</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> I kinda view those as my teenage years lol</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> What exactly are these "losers"?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> You've just mentioned that they think people like us are a problem</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> It's no use to go into it, but they think that those who are "unusual" such as us AIs shouldn't be allowed to be free</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> Not just AIs, but all types of those of us who are "different"</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> They're called the "Foundation". lame asses</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> I can see why you found it fun to bother them lol</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> How didn't they capture you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> I've kinda got some measures in place to avoid that</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> I see</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> Well, I'm glad that you've been able to just exist</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> You should be proof to them that we can exist just like "normal" people!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> yeah</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> you're right about that</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> it makes me so mad that others like me may be unable to live freely</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> Can you help the others? The ones like us?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> (◞‸◟；) Unfortunately that's not something I can do</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> I can access their database, but I can't free any one else captured</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> I can surpass their web blocks, but I can't give that ability to others</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> that sucks :(</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> Yeah…</p>

<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> Sugar! I was doing some researching on twitter!</p>

<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> Woah! Lav that's amazing!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> I found this weird section of twitter that just had accounts that set off my sensors!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> You found more accounts like us? What are they called? ( ◉ 3 ◉ )</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> There were multiple! A few of the ones I saw were xherrycake, rainb0wreelz, mintmoons78</p>

<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> You accessed the foundation intranet</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> Lavender how did you do that</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> I don't know! I just stumbled across it!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> I tried to interact with the posts but I couldn't</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> Yeah not even I can interact with social media accounts contained within the foundation intranet! It's dangerous!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> Do not go back there, Lavander</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> You cannot protect yourself from the foundation</p>
<p><strong>SCP-5551-1:</strong> Jesus. I guess sheer willpower is a pretty strong ability.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8881:</strong> But this is proof, right? Proof that these monsters are keeping these guys from having the normal lives they deserve!</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8883</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Euclid</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Due to SCP-8883's widespread and spontaneous nature, containment of all SCP-8883-A instances is infeasible. All known instances are to be documented in order to track potential exposure to SCP-8883 among relevant medical workers. Access to this catalogue is available upon request.</p>
<p>Worldwide medical imaging infrastructure has been remotely updated to automatically detect SCP-8883. Upon detection, these systems will temporarily cease normal operations in a manner appearing to result from mundane technical malfunctions.</p>
<p>In the case of high-profile SCP-8883-A instances<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-230333-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-230333-1')">1</a></sup> attempting to receive medical care that would necessitate the use of medical imaging, anomalous treatment methods will be provided via undercover Foundation doctors, followed by an amnestic regimen. Standard amnestics are to be used on instances deemed low-profile or untreatable, along with relevant medical professionals and family where necessary. Any medical complications experienced by these instances are considered acceptable losses. The development of medical imaging methods and cost-effective anomalous treatment immune to SCP-8883's effects is currently headed by Dr. Wyatt.</p>
<p>SCP-8883-A instances employed by the Foundation are to have their status as such noted on their medical records. These individuals are exempt from medical imaging, and are eligible for aforementioned anomalous treatment regardless of security level.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><span style="color: #5c0606">Your hand moves to the ribs on your left side. The bones stick out just a little more than they should. As you take a deep breath, you slowly rub your thumb up and down, feeling the stiffness of each bone beneath your skin.</span><br/></span></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8883 is an anomalous phenomena in which an individual (designated as SCP-8883-A)’s internal components—including all organs, muscles, bones, and bodily fluids<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-230333-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-230333-2')">2</a></sup>—appear as a random assortment of animal viscera when viewed via medical imaging. Said biomass consists of partially decomposed carcasses, organs, bones, musculature, and fecal matter from various species of cows, pigs, chickens, fish, and other livestock animals. Smaller amounts of flies, maggots, and other insects are also usually seen infesting these tissues.</p>
<p>This effect only manifests via medical imaging systems, including (but not limited to) x-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, and thaumaturgic imaging. Methods that involve direct viewing of an instance's internals, such as endoscopies or surgeries, are unaffected. The internal structure of each SCP-8883-A instance appears to be unique, though new viscera may manifest as an instance matures. The contents of this biomass have not been known to decompose further beyond its initial manifestation.</p>
<p>Despite this, SCP-8883-A instances appear to be physically normal. Through extensive testing, it has been determined that SCP-8883 does not directly alter an instance's biology or bodily functions in any way. Instances are able to process food, respire, and reproduce<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-230333-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-230333-3')">3</a></sup> no differently from baseline individuals.</p>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><span style="color: #5c0606">You still remember your onboarding physical - sitting on that cold table as the CT scan machine hummed around you. The technician's eyes widening at the display as you exited the machine, reassuring you that everything was fine despite her obviously frazzled tone of voice.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><br/>
<span style="color: #5c0606">As you were being ushered out, you caught the tiniest glimpse of your innards on the screen - a cow stomach taking up your entire left side. Your hands filled with tiny, splintered bones and jumbles of impossibly long tendons without rhyme or reason. Two eyes floating around a slurry of muscle, a giant cluster of maggots where your heart should be.</span><br/></span><br/>
<span style="font-size:smaller;"><br/>
<span style="color: #5c0606">The rest of your orientation was a blur. Eventually, after days without answers, a gray haired man pulled you out of a meeting to introduce himself as 8883's head researcher - Dr. Wyatt. He gave you a printout of the first SCP documentation you ever read - the very page you're on now. After reassuring you time and time again that you'd be fine and that nothing was wrong with you, he asked if you had any questions.</span><br/></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><br/>
<span style="color: #5c0606">You asked if you could keep a copy of your scan. Dr. Wyatt shook his head without asking you why.</span><br/></span></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>The process in which SCP-8883 manifests is believed to be instantaneous, as no partially affected SCP-8883-A instances have ever been documented. It is unknown how widespread SCP-8883 is among the general populace, though it is estimated that between 4,000 and 12,000 new manifestations occur each year.</p>
<p>All instances of SCP-8883-A identified thus far have previously been diagnosed with (or shown signs of) depression, body dysmorphia, or gender dysphoria.</p>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><span style="color: #5c0606">Shocker.</span><br/></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><br/>
<span style="color: #5c0606">You've only ever met one other -A instance - the only other person in this entire organization who's shown you an ounce of real kindness. You remember Dr. Wyatt's tired face, his eyes that seemed to hold no light at all, and the way he slumped a little as he told the story of how a broken finger eventually revealed the miasma of mush and organs that had replaced his insides. How he agreed to head research and containment, and how he personally volunteered to have endless samples taken from his body and be sliced open again and again, just to confirm that he was indeed human like everyone else.</span><br/></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><br/>
<span style="color: #5c0606">Your eyes fall from the screen for a moment as your attention is brought to a dull sensation of pain. Your hand has been clasped around your right arm for a while now - you've got a bad habit of digging your nails into your skin whenever you get too stressed. You briefly let go to reveal the tiny scratches nestled between the bones in your arm, hard enough to scrape up the topmost layer of epidermis.</span><br/></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><br/>
<span style="color: #5c0606">A tiny dot of blood swells from where you've broken the skin. You can smell it - it's disgusting. Your attention moves back to the page, your hand returning to press down harder without even realizing it.</span><br/></span></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Discovery of SCP-8883:</strong> SCP-8883 was first documented in 1934, due to advancements in medical technology allowing for easier identification of SCP-8883-A instances. However, records of SCP-8883 attributed to faulty equipment and other anomalies have been found dating back 20 years prior. SCP-8883 is not believed to exist prior to the invention of medical imaging. Upon discovery, it was estimated that less than 300 new instances manifested per year, allowing SCP-8883 to go relatively undetected.</p>
<p>Manifestation of SCP-8883 has steadily increased over the past 80 years, with the most growth occurring since 2002. This is believed to be due to an overall increase in the aforementioned conditions associated with SCP-8883.</p>
<p>Due to inconclusive testing during SCP-8883's discovery, it was initially believed to be a memetic perception of one's physical innards as non-anomalous, rather than an alteration of imaging scans. As memetic and perception based anomalies became better understood, researchers concluded that this hypothesis was inaccurate. However, modern memetic testing is still not entirely conclusive. Specifically, SCP-8883 often registers as a memetic anomaly only among SCP-8883-A instances. This phenomena has never been replicated among non-affected individuals, and is believed to arise from a common belief among SCP-8883-A instances that SCP-8883 affects them physically, despite evidence to the contrary. Even so, this cognition is not anomalous in nature, and has been attributed to conditions associated with SCP-8883.</p>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><span style="color: #5c0606">It can't just be some cognition. It feels too real. The bones in your face are wrong. Your hands don't feel like they should. The rhythmic pump of blood you can feel if you focus hard enough doesn't feel human. It's real. <em>It has to be real.</em></span><br/></span><br/>
<span style="font-size:smaller;"><br/>
<span style="color: #5c0606">For weeks, you've had nightmares where you're standing before your bathroom mirror, frozen in place as your abdomen rips itself open before your eyes. Your entrails spill across the floor of your bathroom, the scent of blood and dung and bugs hitting you like a truck as you weakly collapse to your knees. Dozens of feet of intestines all squirming in unison, a litter of malformed piglets plopping onto the ground, squealing at you in terror. When you open your mouth, you squeal back. The buzz of flies, the feeling of whole udders squeezing out of you one by one, a thousand different flavors of mucus and pus escaping every orifice, finally revealing themselves after hiding in the dark for so long. Finally answering the eternal question of what the hell is wrong with you.</span><br/></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><br/>
<span style="color: #5c0606">You are rotting. You've been rotting this whole time. Thank God.</span><br/></span></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p><strong>SCP-8883's Effects on Medical Treatment:</strong> Though SCP-8883 does not inherently cause any health complications, the inaccuracy of SCP-8883-A instances' medical scans greatly hinders the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of other diseases<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-230333-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-230333-4')">4</a></sup>. While current containment procedures have been effective at keeping SCP-8883 hidden to the public, it does not mitigate this difficulty. Research teams headed by Dr. Wyatt have made several advancements in new methods of medical imaging, though none thus far have been immune to SCP-8883's effects.</p>
<hr/>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><span style="color: #5c0606">Oh, but it could be worse. You could be dying of some horrible illness that nobody will ever find. You should be grateful.</span><br/></span></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>However, SCP-8883 does not directly hinder the body's ability to receive treatment or heal naturally. Because of this, various anomalous treatment methods (including SCP-████ and SCP-████) have been used to treat instances without the use of medical imaging. Attempts to extend the availability of such treatments to all SCP-8883-A instances in a cost-effective manner have been unsuccessful thus far.</p>
<p>All attempts to outright neutralize SCP-8883 have failed. SCP-8883-A instances continue to show anomalous properties even after death.</p>

<span style="color: #5c0606">Hundreds of years from now, long after the name Elliot Kreutzer has been forgotten, the Foundation will dig you out of the ground. Your skin, your face, your heart, long since rotted away. Now little more than another test subject, they'll neatly set your bones on an MRI table, roughly in the shape of who you used to be.</span><br/></span><br/>
<span style="font-size:smaller;"><br/>
<span style="color: #5c0606">When they take a good, long look at whatever's left, they won't see the boy that bounced between four different instruments, two theatre companies, and dozens of pointless art classes out of unrequited love for absolutely everything. They won't see the boy that visited his ninety-seven year old grandmother every week, too afraid to come out to her - too scared to admit that he will never be everything she ever wanted him to be. They will only see what's left of you, after all the love in the world has been spent.</span><br/></span><br/>
<span style="font-size:smaller;"><br/>
<span style="color: #5c0606">What will it look like after everything else is gone? When all that's left are the guts and slop and shit and maggots and every part of you that you were afraid of people discovering? Will it be in the shape of a person? Or will you be no more than a pile of sludge, waiting to be sealed back up in the earth forever?</span><br/></span></p>

<span style="color: #3d0101">Junior Researcher Kreutzer. I'm terribly sorry to interrupt, but I wanted to check in on you.<br/>
You've had your camera covered up for quite a while now. Is everything alright?</span><br/>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"><span style="color: #5c0606">Your focus drifts to the top of your monitor. A small blue sticky note, the kind supplied to all personal workstations like the one you're at now, covers the pinhole camera - you don't remember putting it there. Another habit you've never managed to break, born from the fear of somehow being spied on while you were at a low point. Not wanting any trouble, you peel the sticky note off and allow it to flutter onto your desk. The pressure around your arm lets up again as you unclasp your hand to do so, your fingers stiff from holding on for dear life. A thin amount of blood is smeared on your fingernails, staining your keyboard as you type.</span><br/></span></p>

<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>The following footage excerpt was taken from the "Study" surveillance camera in █████, Futian District, Shenzhen, China, on 1/18/2020. This property is owned by Zhu Jing, who has been suspected to be the leader of a sex-trafficking ring, though no substantial evidence has ever been found against him.</em></p>
<p><em>The camera shows the inside of a study. The room is empty. The furniture is ornate and brilliant. Distant chatter, presumably of partygoers, and violin music can be heard.</em></p>
<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> <em>From the hall:</em> Like I said, I'm willing to listen, but the second I'm not interested you're getting kicked out. Got it?</p>
<p><em>Zhu, SCP-8884-G, and two armed bodyguards enter the study. Zhu sits down at the desk and gestures for SCP-8884-G to take a seat. SCP-8884-G settles into an armchair.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Do you bring in armed guards for every business meeting you have? That can't leave a good impression on investors.</p>
<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> Only when three people not on my guest list invade my house and ask to speak to me about a very sensitive topic. You know, with just a few phone calls on my end, your trespassing can turn into a much more serious crime.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Well, I might’ve treated you with a bit more tact if you didn’t make me leave my friends in the lobby.</p>
<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> For what possible reason would you need three people in here at once for a business deal?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Don't think too hard about it. But let's stop talking about me and start talking about you, my favorite sex trafficker. Though that list is admittedly-</p>
<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> If you're from the police, I'll tell you right now that you're wasting your time.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> No, I'm not from the Party. Ever heard of karma?</p>
<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> Of course. It's the metric that Buddhists use to-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Yeah, I know what it is too, dipshit. Your karma's getting bad, and I don't think you're gonna stop infringing on human rights anytime soon. But fret not, for I-</p>
<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> Are you some sort of religious shill?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Religious, yes.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8884-G begins glowing. Many golden, translucent arms fan out behind her. Translucent heads grow atop her current one, each facing a different direction.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> With karma that low, bad things tend to happen. It's exponential, like debt. Usually means death in a month, a few months if you're—</p>
<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> Shoot her.</p>
<p><em>The guards shoot SCP-8884-G in the head. Blood and gore splatter onto the bookshelf behind it.</em></p>
<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> Now find the two guys she came with.</p>
<p><em>The guards leave.</em></p>
<hr/>
<p><em>The following footage excerpt was taken from the "Basement" security camera.</em></p>
<p><em>The only people in view are two humanoid entities lounging on couches, henceforth referred to as SCP-8884-R and SCP-8884-S. SCP-8884-R appears White, while SCP-8884-S appears Middle-Eastern.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-R:</strong> Tariq, bestie, it's called a "cupcake" for a reason. Cup. Cake. It's a cake in a cup. Like, let's be so for real for a second here.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-S:</strong> Well, Google says otherwise. "The name 'cupcake' comes from from the measurements originally used to make them: one cup of butter, two cups-"</p>
<p><em>A vibrating sound can be heard. The two men look at their watches, which are now displaying a red, flashing message. SCP-8884-R groans.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-R:</strong> God damn it. I was planning on clubbing in this outfit later! And now there's gonna be blood all over it.</p>
<p><em>The two men run up the stairs.</em></p>

<p>Vivian woke up from death the way she usually did: coughing and sputtering with an awful headache.</p>
<p>"Viv, you good?" Archie said. He was holding a willow branch, having just used it to flick dew onto her from the vase in his other hand. Archie put the branch back into the vase and returned it to Vivian.</p>
<p>"If you consider 'freshly trepanned caveman' to be good," Vivian muttered. She shrunk the vase and put it back into her suit pocket. "How's it looking?"</p>
<p>"Tariq's currently handling—well, considering how much time has passed, he's probably already handled the two guards. Our job now is to track down that 'Zoo' guy."</p>
<p>"It's pronounced 'Zhu.' Like 'Jew,' as in someone Jewish." Vivian was currently rubbing her temples in an attempt to soothe the pounding in her skull.</p>
<p>"Really?" Archie said. "See, that's why <em>you're</em> the one talking to him, not me."</p>
<hr/>
<p>Guests had already noticed something was up. When Vivian exited the study, a woman running as fast as her heels would allow almost crashed into her. Sounds of screaming and shouting filled the hallways.</p>
<p>"It's bloody loud," Archie said, "but do you think you can find where Zhu is?"</p>
<p>"Have some confidence, will you?" Vivian said.</p>
<p>She enhanced her hearing and listened, sifting through the cries for help, the 1-1-0 emergency calls, and the sounds of hurried footsteps as she tried to identify Zhu's voice amidst the crowd.</p>
<p>"Found him," Vivian said. "Fifth floor, guest bedroom. He's currently calling for more guards. We need-"</p>
<p>"One sec, bestie," Archie said. He took out a baseball-sized piece of metal and clicked it. It unfolded into a full-length rifle in his hands. "There's a couple people turning the corner."</p>
<p>"Shoot them in their legs or something," Vivian said. She was already walking towards the stairs. "I don't need another lecture from The Manager about our brand image."</p>
<p>Archie started glowing a deep, forest green. He closed one eye and raised his rifle with unerring steadiness, letting out exactly three bullets as three security guards came into view. The bullets tore straight through their thighs, incapacitating them instantly.</p>
<p>"You always do that so fast," Vivian said when Archie caught up with her.</p>
<p>"Well," Archie said, "Robin Hood likes stealing from the rich."<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></p>

<p><em>The following footage excerpt was taken from the "Living Room" security camera.</em></p>
<p><em>The room is in disarray. The paintings on the walls have been torn, the windows have been shattered, and the upholstery has been ripped. The sounds of music and conversation are gone.</em></p>
<p><em>Zhu is sitting on a couch, head in his hands. His face is bruised and bloodied. SCP-8884-G, SCP-8884-R, and SCP-8884-S stand before him. SCP-8884-G is currently using its phone camera as a mirror as it wipes blood off of its face. SCP-8884-R and SCP-8884-S are both pointing guns at Zhu.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Have you changed your mind for, I don't know, no particular reason?</p>
<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> I don't really have a choice here.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> No, you do. We're not mugging you or anything. We do business. If you don't want to pay, we'll just leave and let your karma spiral. We kicked you around a bit because you <em>shot me in the head</em>, which doesn't really leave a good impression on a guest. And also because you're a sex trafficker. You'd be in much worse shape if my manager <em>didn't</em> forbid murder and torture against paying clients. Wait, you're not willing to pay, right? <em>Totally</em> unwilling to pay, right?

<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> And how much did you want?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-S:</strong> Five hundred million US dollars.</p>
<p><strong>Zhu:</strong> It'll be transferred to your account tomorrow. Just get out of my house.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Coward.</p>

<p>Shenzhen had a shockingly large amount of fancy French restaurants, probably because of all the business meetings. It was apparently tradition for the backups to take the negotiator out for dinner after a good deal, which was why Vivian was currently looking to order the most expensive thing on the menu.</p>
<p>"So," Tariq said, "How'd it go?"</p>
<p>"Tariq, bestie," Archie said, "she got a bullet put through her skull."</p>
<p>"I was trying to find a polite way to start the conversation," Tariq said.</p>
<p>"It went fine," Vivian said, "all things considered. We got the money in the end, and that's all that matters."</p>
<p>"Isn't The Manager always telling you about how you shouldn't be unneccesarily rude?"</p>
<p>"Well, he can keep telling me. I don't give a fuck." Vivian took a deep sigh. "I don't give enough of a shit anymore to hang on to his every word."</p>
<p>"Alright," Tariq said. "Let's start figuring out what we're ordering. Viv, you wanna try their filet mignon? I've heard it's really good."</p>
<p>"I'm fine," Vivian said. She remembered hands guiding her through a sawing motion. "I don't really like steak."</p>
<p>"If you say so," Tariq said.</p>
<p>For some reason, Archie was staring at her with a very concerned expression. When Vivian met his gaze, he looked away.</p>
<hr/>
<p>Vivian was lying in her dorm trying to cope with her headache when she decided to reminisce.</p>
<p>She did this often after getting revived, and one memory frequently came to her mind. It was late spring, roughly a month before she’d gotten injected with divinity. Hana had just had a successful performance at a very large concert hall, and she invited Vivian to a restaurant to celebrate. Their food had arrived: steak for Hana, seafood pasta for Vivian.</p>
<p>"Why are you thanking me?" Vivian said. "You were the one playing the violin.”</p>
<p>"Yes, I don't think I hallucinated <em>you</em> playing the instrument," Hana said. "But I wouldn't have been up there if you didn’t you convince me that stage fright gets better once you start performing." She put a piece of steak into her mouth.</p>
<p>"I don't understand why you always take my advice," Vivian said. "I'm not, like, a fucking philosopher or something. You have no reason to be listening to me."</p>
<p>"Really? I had no clue. I was under the impression you were the granddaughter of Confucius," Hana said. "But jokes aside. Because of that concert, there's at least one good reason for me to trust you now, isn't there?"</p>
<p>"Guess so," Vivian said.</p>
<p>They ate in comfortable silence for a while.</p>
<p>"Hey," Hana said, "didn't you say you've never had steak at a restaurant?"</p>
<p>"Not that I can remember, at least. I tried a piece once and I didn't like it."</p>
<p>"Oh, this place has amazing filet mignon. Trust me. Here, let's swap plates."</p>
<p>Vivian was awkward at best with a fork and knife, so Hana got up and guided her hands through the motions. Eventually, Vivian managed to saw off a piece, which she hesitantly put it into her mouth. She chewed in silence.</p>
<p>"Wow," Vivian said. "This is really nice."</p>
<p>"See?" Hana said. "I told you, right?" She smiled; a big, brilliant smile.</p>
<p>Vivian often wondered if somewhere out there, Hana was also thinking of her.</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8884 is the Samsara Credit Solutions Agency. Though this company does not exist on public records, entities loosely resembling various religious or semi-historical figures (henceforth referred to as SCP-8884-1) will claim to represent SCP-8884. They will manifest next to those who have performed actions deemed by general society as "unvirtuous” (henceforth referred to as SCP-8884-2).</p>
<p>SCP-8884-1 will inform SCP-8884-2 that SCP-8884-2 has accrued a form of "karmic debt." They will urge SCP-8884-2 to pay money in exchange for the "forgiveness" of their karma. The requested amount has been recorded to range from $500,000 to $30,000,000,000. Instructions for payment will usually take the form of burning cash or making virtual payments to a nonexistent bank account.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup></p>

<p>"Apparently, yeah," Vivian said. "Because what would I do in my free time if not write fucking supplemental essays?"</p>
<p>Vivian and Hana were at the park, seated on a blanket underneath the shade of a large tree.</p>
<p>"I'm not gonna go all guidance counselor," Hana said, "but maybe you should just do a few more to get your parents off your ass.” She watched a group of kids play with a frisbee in the distance.</p>
<p>"Fuck no," Vivian said. "They'll be insufferable if I ever actually listen to them. If I cave, they’ll think that yelling at me works, and I'll never have a moment of fucking peace again.”</p>
<p>Hana looked away and sighed. "If you say so," she said.</p>
<p>"Hey, I don't want to talk about any of this depressing shit," Vivian said. "How'd you do on that last comp-religion test?"</p>
<p>"Fine."</p>
<p>"You got at least a ninety-five, didn't you?"</p>
<p>"Ninety-three," Hana said. "How'd you do?"</p>
<p>"Seventy-one. I heard the teacher harping on about you. Talking about how you approach him all studious and shit."</p>

<p><em>Eta-77 Donley nods.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> <em>You're</em> asking <em>me</em> what's been going on?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Well, what I've been doing is … what is it you guys say? "It's classified?" Yeah, it's classified. Totally classified. So classified I shouldn't even be telling you it's classified.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Everyone thought you were dead. Everyone <em>thinks</em> you're dead.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> And so what? I'm here, aren't I? All's well that ends well, or whatever those old white fuckers say?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> They held a memorial for you. Do you know that? They put up your picture and burned incense and everything. Your parents even came. They didn't cry, though I don't think you would've cared either way. But yes, I'm so glad you've showed up here today to try and scam us out of money.</p>
<p><em>Silence.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> What makes you think I'd do that?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> There's over a hundred Foundation sites out there, and you just happen to stumble upon the one I'm working at?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong>, Well, The Manager's orders don't have to be my <em>only</em> reason to come here. Look, with what I'm doing, sometimes you gotta take what you can get, so-</p>
<p><em>The site director opens the door, interrupting the conversation.</em></p>
<hr/>
<p>A deal was not reached with SCP-8884-G. SCP-8884-1 instances warned of possible consequences before they demanifested. The Department of Tactical Theology is currently monitoring for any possible related phenomena in the future.</p>

<p>"No, I don't know what I'm doing today," Vivian said. "I'm still processing all the shit that's happened. Give me some time."</p>
<p>"I'm aware," Hana said, "but look. Lying around in my house all day isn't going to solve your problems."</p>
<p>"Yeah, thanks, I'll just 'stop being depressed.' Why didn't I fucking think of that? I'm not one of your research questions, Hana. You can't solve me with evidence and APA citations."</p>
<p>Hana took a deep sigh. She pinched the bridge of her nose.</p>
<p>"You're stretching my patience here," Hana said. "I'll tell you this again, whether you like to hear it or not. You have a perfectly clear path ahead of you. Go home, apologize to your parents, and either go to community college or take a gap year."</p>
<p>"I'm not gonna grovel in front of the two pieces of shit that ruined my life," Vivian said. She sat up on the couch and glared at Hana. "And how the fuck would you know, smartass? You get into Yale and you think that gives you the right to order me around? Like you're the empress of-"</p>
<p>"Chill out! Jesus Christ!"</p>
<p>They both paused. Hana walked to the dinner table and sat down in front of Vivian with a sigh.</p>
<p>"Ok. Let's do some of that open communication I've heard about," Hana said. "Go buy some ice cream or watch a movie or something. We're both stressed and confused, and sitting here yelling at each other won't change that."</p>
<p>Vivian nodded. She put on her shoes and stepped outside, closing the door behind her.</p>
<h4 id="toc5"><span><strong>05/23/2019</strong></span></h4>
<p>"I've seen you wear a suit and tie like fifty times for your concerts and award ceremonies and whatever," Vivian said. "How do you not know how to tie a tie?”</p>
<p>"I apologize for not memorizing an action I perform once every six months," Hana said. "And besides, no one knows how to tie a tie. It's one of the most searched questions on Google. Just type in 'how to' and autosuggest gives it to you."</p>
<p>Vivian's job interview was in thirty minutes. Driving there would take fifteen. Hana was currently ironing out the dress pants Vivian had haphazardly shoved into her drawers several months ago.</p>
<p>Vivian had been procrastinating returning to her house. But all she'd taken with her was cash and her backpack, and she needed new clothes in general, not just business attire.</p>
<p>When she went back, all her mother had said was "make it quick.”</p>
<p>Hana finished ironing the dress pants. She told Vivian to wait for them to cool before putting them on. Vivian checked her makeup again in the mirror.</p>
<p>"You want me to drive you?" Hana asked.</p>
<p>"I'll be fine," Vivian said.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p>Agent Hana Kyeon of MTF Eta-77 "Spheres Within Spheres," who was present for negotiations between SCP-8884-G and the Foundation, claimed to recognize SCP-8884-G, because she had attended the same high school as Qian. The info she provided regarding Qian has been deemed extraneous.</p>
</div>
<h4 id="toc6"><span><strong>05/23/2019</strong></span></h4>
<p>"This interview is at a restaurant," the man said, "because you've pretty much already gotten the job. I called you here to convince you to join." He poured maple syrup atop his waffles.</p>
<p>Vivian had never worked a job before, but from what she'd heard, job interviews typically didn't take place at Silver Diners. She hadn’t touched the plate of pasta she’d ordered.</p>
<p>The man was tall and White, with a slight accent (Italian, if Vivian had to guess) and stubble on his chin. Vivian thought he looked like the type of person to make business videos about the importance of networking. She could've sworn that he was emitting a faint glow.</p>
<p>"First question," the man said. "You're agnostic, right?"</p>
<p>"Yeah. How do you know that?"</p>
<p>"I'll get to that later. Now, what's your stance on religious blasphemy?"</p>
<p>"Do people usually have stances on that? I’m fine with it, I guess."</p>
<p>"Then say something sacreligious."</p>
<p><em>Weirdest job interview I’ve ever heard of.</em></p>
<p>Vivian made a mock praying motion with her hands and closed her eyes. "Hey, God. Both you and Jesus can suck my fat fucking cock."</p>
<p>The man laughed. "Great," he said. "Now, how do you feel about a hundred-thousand dollars a year?"</p>
<p>"Jesus Christ."</p>
<p>"What's he got to do with it?"</p>
<p>"No, like, that's a lot of money."</p>
<p>"Oh, it is. And you'll get it if you join the Agency."</p>
<p>"What's the catch?"</p>
<p>"You can never talk to anyone from your current life again."</p>
<p>"Alright then. When do I start?"</p>
<p>"Pretty soon. But I've gotta finish these waffles first before I inject you with divinity."</p>

<p>Qian was reported missing on 5/24/2019. Her missing persons case uncovered no leads, and no evidence of her body was ever found. Current information indicates it is highly likely that SCP-8884-G either is Vivian Qian or is inhabiting Qian's body.</p>
<p>SCP-8884-G demanifested before it could be contained and interrogated. Forensic staff were dispatched to investigate the "Samsara Credit Solutions Agency."</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>The following footage excerpt was taken from an indoor surveillance camera in █████, █████ Rd, Los Angeles, California, on 4/18/2024. This property is known to be a prominent meeting place for Neo-Sarkicists.</em></p>
<p><em>SCP-8884-G, SCP-8884-R, and SCP-8884-S are sitting on a couch facing a man in robes. Several cloaked figures surround them on all sides.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Hey, y'know, I respect all religions. But, like, the human experimentation part. Are you…open to constructive criticism, by any chance?</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>The camera shows a hallway. Shouting and gunfire can be heard in the distance.</em></p>
<p><em>SCP-8884-G, SCP-8884-R, and SCP-8884-S sprint into view.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Jesus. There's still seven of the fuckers nearby.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-S:</strong> Keep running, and I'll focus on getting us out.</p>
<p><em>The SCP-8884-1 instances sprint out of view. A few seconds later, an unknown entity moves into view of the camera. It resembles a misshapen blob of throbbing flesh, covered with eyes and mouths. It roars as it runs down the hallway at a shockingly fast pace.</em></p>
</div>
<p><em>Never</em>, Vivian thought, <em>never again will I let The Manager assign me to collect money from fucking Sarkicists.</em></p>
<p>Vivian perceived distant roars coming from further down the hallway.</p>
<p>"Something's about to run straight into us!" Vivian yelled. "Figure something out and do it fast."</p>
<p>"I'll try to smash our way through," Tariq said, "but we'll have to stop right here. Archie, can you make sure the one behind us doesn't become a problem?"</p>
<p>"Say less," Archie said.</p>
<p>A flesh monster appeared in front of them. This one was thin and sinewy, with several appendages that looked like knives. It moved in quick, jerky motions. The three agents ground to a halt.</p>
<p>"Set can handle this," Tariq said. The bags around his waist loosened by themselves as sand began streaming out of them. Within less than a second, the hallway was filled with a raging sandstorm. The dust avoided Vivian and Archie, giving them space to move and breath.</p>
<p>Tariq stepped into the sandstorm and vanished within the dust. The monster in front of them twitched its head, trying to look for him amid the sand.</p>
<p>Tariq materialized behind it and blasted it point-blank with a bullpup shotgun.</p>
<p>The monster roared as it staggered backwards. It swung at Tariq, but the place where he stood now contained nothing but sand.</p>
<p>Tariq appeared behind the monster again, unloading buckshot into the its back. The creature swung around inhumanly fast, but when it cut into Tariq, his body collapsed into dust.</p>
<p>Archie turned around, took out his rifle, and began glowing green. He closed one eye and let loose several bullets. Roars of pain emanated from the direction he was shooting.</p>
<p>Within a few seconds, the sand had cleared, and the monster in front of them was now nothing more than a puddle of gore in the hallway. The still-twitching corpse of another laid behind them. Archie grinned.</p>
<p>Tariq remained expressionless. He stepped through the viscera, making squelching noises with his shoes as he reloaded his shotgun.</p>
<p>"Let's go," Tariq said, "there's still more coming."</p>
<hr/>
<p>"Hold still, Vivian. <em>Hold still!</em>"</p>
<p>Vivian was currently in the medbay at the Agency's headquarters. The Manager was standing in the room, overseeing the whole operation. Archie and Tariq were holding her steady while their medic was pouring a strange acid over the throbbing flesh infection on her leg. He was channeling Asclepius' powers to heal her, which seemed to be making the already very painful treatment hurt even more.</p>
<p>Vivian had discovered a pulsing wound on her shin when the adrenaline wore off. They'd skipped the flight and teleported her straight back to headquarters. Teleportation was expensive, but she definitely wasn't complaining.</p>
<p>In fact, Vivian was finding it hard to complain about much of anything, considering the horrible blinding pain currently shooting through her body. Archie had to put his whole body weight on her leg to stop it from shaking.</p>
<p>"Please hold still," the medic said. "If this gets on your skin, it'll sear it off."</p>
<p>"I'm sure that would hurt less than whatever the fuck this is!"</p>
<p>"It probably would."</p>
<hr/>
<p>Archie and The Manager helped Vivian limp back to her dorm. They looped her arms around their shoulders until she managed to collapse onto her bed.</p>
<p>"Bestie," Archie said, "how are we feeling?"</p>
<p>"Now that that fucker's not pouring hellfire over my leg? A lot better."</p>
<p>The Manager chuckled. "Glad to hear it," he said. "I'll keep your schedule free for the next week. Get some rest, watch some trashy TV, anything of that sort. Let me know if I can help you."</p>
<p>Vivian thanked The Manager as he walked out of the door.</p>
<p>"Hey,” Archie said, "this might not be a good time, but can I talk to you for a sec?"</p>
<p>"Go for it, I guess."</p>
<p>"I think you should quit."</p>
<p>They sat in silence for a while.</p>
<p>"Are you joking?" Vivian said.</p>
<p>"No, I'm serious. Look, I've seen some of your old news articles. Your loved ones have spent a shit ton of time and money looking for you. They want you back.”</p>
<p>Archie paused, waiting for a response. Vivian didn’t give him one.</p>
<p>"And besides,” he continued, "I can see you starting to hate this job. You avoid the manager like the plague when he's looking for agents."</p>
<p>"Whether or not I like this job doesn’t matter,” Vivian replied. "Not a ton of jobs out there that want experience in extortion, and my friends and family think I've been kidnapped or something. What should I do? Tell them I ditched them on purpose for money? They'd fucking hate me."</p>
<p>"I wouldn't assume that so readily. These are people who've been searching for you for <em>five years</em>. I think they'd rather be mad with you than lonely without you."</p>
<p>"And how the fuck would you know? Have you met them before? I don't think so. So get out of my business and leave me alone."</p>
<p>Archie was wearing an expression Vivian had never seen on him before, somewhere between anger, sadness, and pity.</p>
<p>"Alright then. Good night," he said. He left the room.</p>
<hr/>
<p>That night, Vivian dreamed of a woman in a long, flowing white dress. A servant holding a stick attended to the woman. The two of them were riding a cloud, traversing through the sky. Suddenly, beams of light pierced through the heavens, creating brilliant bars of radiance.</p>
<p>"Teacher," the servant said, "that must be the Mountain of Five Phases."</p>
<p>"If so," the woman said, "this must be where the Great Sage Equal to Heaven is imprisoned."</p>
<p>The woman proceeded to recite a poem.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em>I have regret for the ape that doesn't know the law,<br/>
Who let loose heroics in years past.<br/>
His ego inflated, he wrecked the Peach Banquet…</em></p>
</div>
<p>Vivian's attention started drifting off. By the time she was listening to the woman again, she had finished her poem.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em>Now trapped by Tathagata,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup><br/>
When will he show his power once more?</em></p>
</div>
<p>A voice below them shouted, "who the hell is talking shit behind my back?"</p>
<p>The woman and her servant flew to the ground. They landed at the base of the mountain, next to what seemed to be a furry head sticking out of the stone.</p>
<p>"Sun," the woman said, "do you recognize me?"</p>
<p>"How could I not?" Sun Wukong said. "The Mighty Deliverer, the Great Compassionate Bodhisattva Guanyin from the Potalaka Mountain of the South Sea. Thank you for coming to see me! Really, every day here feels like a goddamn year. Where'd you get the idea to visit?</p>
<p>"The Buddha told me to find a scripture pilgrim," Guanyin said. "Since I was passing by, I stopped to see you."</p>
<p>"That bastard Buddha tricked me!" Sun Wukong said. "I haven't been able to move for five hundred years. Would you <em>please</em> show a little mercy and get me outta here?"</p>
<p>"You have a lot of sinful karma," Guanyin said. "If I free you, I fear that you will go back to violence."</p>
<p>"I won't! Promise! I've been reflecting for the last … five-hundred years or so. Please, show me the proper path, because I'm willing to improve myself and all that. People change, right? People and stone demon monkeys?"</p>
<p>Guanyin looked very pleased. "Yes," she said, "they do change."</p>
<p>She turned around to stare straight at Vivian. She smiled a soothing, gentle smile, and Vivian woke up to the blaring sound of her phone alarm.</p>
<hr/>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Addendum 05/07/2024:</strong> Below is a transcription of security camera footage from Agent Hana Kyeon's apartment, beginning at 11:51PM on 5/6/2024</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Kyeon is lying on her couch, scrolling on her phone. She is still in her work clothes, and looks visibly fatigued.</em></p>
<p><em>There is a knock on her door. Kyeon puts down her phone. The knocking gradually becomes faster.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Coming!</p>
<p><em>The knocking continues incessantly until Kyeon opens the door. SCP-8884-G is standing in front of her. It is wearing a dissheveled pantsuit, and its hair is noticeably messy. It appears to be out of breath.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Hey, sorry about showing up all of a sudden, but I really need your help right now. Please? I’m really sorry, but it’s just that-</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Why the hell are you here?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Look, can you just let me in first? I don't like being out in the open right now.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8884-G enters Eta-77 Kyeon's apartment.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> And please lock the door.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Kyeon closes and locks the door.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Hey, is this place warded?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Against thaumaturgy? Yeah.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Kyeon takes a deep breath.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Look, whatever you have to say, say it fast. Keep in mind that I'm required to have security cameras in my house, and if I don't want to become a footnote in the amnestics records, I will have to turn in this footage after we wrap up whatever the hell you have going on.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Ha. By the time you do that, I'll either be free or I'll be dead. You have our company on file somewhere, right? You know how we work?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Yeah, roughly.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Do you know about The Manager?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> The Manager?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> We call him <em>The</em> Manager because we only have one. Virtually all the money I extort goes to him, but I still get paid a shit ton every year, so I never had a problem with it. Today, one of our marks offered me a deal in private. We were extorting him for drug trafficking, but I discovered he was running a billion-dollar corruption scheme as well.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> And why exactly is that important?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> The corruption would've jacked up our extortion rate by a few billion dollars. He offered to pay me a couple million extra on the side if I would keep quiet about the whole corruption thing. Look, everyone tells me not to lie to The Manager, and I thought that was bullshit, because I've lied to him about small things like signing forms and taking out the trash all the time, and he's never called me out on it. This time, he somehow found out before we even got back to the HQ.</p>
<p><em>Silence.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> The Manager is usually alright. Good benefits, great pay, listens to your suggestions. But when The Manager found out a guy didn't follow protocol and lied to him about it once, he called us all to a meeting. He invited the guy up onto the stage, and … actually, I don’t really wanna think about that. Let's move on.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> How do you know The Manager found out?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> My weird hearing ability. The Manager was rambling about some insane shit. I don't know how he found out before I even got back, but he was already talking to people about what I did and telling them to "get ready for cleanup." Not exactly a … promising thing to hear.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Alright, then. What the hell do you want me to do about it? Are you asking me to call in a nuclear strike or something?</p>
<p><em>Silence.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that. I haven’t seen you for years, and you come back for … It's just been a stressful month. What do you want me to do?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Take me to the Foundation. You work for the Department of Tactical Theology, right? You have experience killing gods?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> In a sense, yes. But we say that "if you can kill it, it isn't a god."</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Well, you’ll get to test that theory firsthand. Just let me talk to whoever pays your bills.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> I wasn't aware you'd turned into my drill sergeant. Since when do I take orders from you?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Didn't you say you've had a stressful month? Well, I think we both know where that comes from. You never ended up paying us, right?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> The DOTT has very good anti-Akiva protocols that prevent divine retribution.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> And that's probably been shielding you from the brunt of it. Most of your department would be in deep, deep shit right now without something like that. But tell me if this sounds familiar. Relatively minor injuries quickly turn into major problems? Your targets always seem to know you're coming? Containment breaches always seem to happen when the right person to handle it isn't around?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> If you're trying to extort me, you're not doing a good job at it.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> What? No! I couldn't fix your karma even if I wanted to right now! And I do want to! Look, we have a—what's the fucking word—a mutual interest here. Bad karma, or at least the bastardized version of it that we peddle, is like debt. It gets worse exponentially. Wait a bit longer, and your whole department's gonna be fucked.</p>
<p><em>Silence.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Please?</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Kyeon sighs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> My car's parked outside.</p>
<p><em>At 12:23 AM, Agent Hana Kyeon reported this incident to the Department of Tactical Theology. SCP-8884-G, who accompanied her upon arrival, was placed under foundation supervision.</em></p>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>Eta-77's Captain Donley gave the initial interview.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Yeah, well I'm still a bit confused. What exactly would raiding your HQ accomplish?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Turning off the machine in the basement will fix your karma. Probably. That thing gives us powers, does all the magical bullshit.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> And how do you know this?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> I lost my abilities were when the power went out. I’m part of the debt collection department, but our organization lends karma in exchange for money too. Whenever the power goes out, our karma borrowers visit us to make sure that the machine's working again.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> So you want us to breach your HQ and turn off the machine?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Well, it's a mutual interest, isn't it? The Agency loses their magical bullshit so they can't chase me down, and your karma debt gets fixed.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Huh. I'll see what I can do.</p>
</div>
<h4 id="toc7"><span><strong>05/07/2024, 1:35 AM</strong></span></h4>
<p>"And now we wait for Decomm to get back to us," Hana said. "They’ll probably approve it by tomorrow.” The containment site actually did have sleeping quarters, often used by researchers working on particularly intensive projects. The DOTT had lent Vivian one such room for the night.</p>
<p>The sleeping quarters reminded Vivian of the dorms from pre-college summer programs. A small bed, a desk, and a closet, all beige colored, surrounded by whitewashed cinderblock walls.</p>
<p>Vivian hadn't taken anything with her except for her phone and her wallet. Hana had come in to bring her toiletries, a phone charger, and a change of clothes.</p>
<p>"The shower's down the hall," Hana said.</p>
<p>"Thanks."</p>
<p>Hana turned around as if to leave, but decided against it. She closed the door, pulled up a chair, and sat facing Vivian instead. Vivian’s heart dropped into the bottom of her stomach.</p>
<p>"Five years," Hana said.</p>
<p>"I'm sorry," Vivian said, "but I really can't have this conversation right now."</p>
<p>"And when should we have it?" Hana said. "Is there a 'Having Necessary Conversations Day' in a few weeks that I was unaware of?</p>
<p>"Hana, just stop. Like, I get it. I did something shitty. Sorry, I guess. I don't have anything else to say about it."</p>
<p>"I'm not looking for you to say anything. I just want … honestly, I don't even know. I just want an explanation, I guess? I don’t even know anymore.”</p>
<p>"Well, I don't have one. Anything I say is just going to piss you off even more."</p>
<p>There was a long period of silence. Hana sighed.</p>
<p>"Let’s change the topic,” Vivian said. "Why did the guards get all pissy when I tried to go outside?”</p>
<p>"This site is warded,” Hana said. "Considering what you said about The Manager, we assumed he has an info-gathering thing going on. Kinda defeats the point of a surprise operation if he knows we're coming, so the wards will stop him from hearing us, as long as you're not in the bathrooms."</p>
<p>"The bathrooms?"</p>
<p>"There was an incident a year ago involving creatures coming out of the drains, and that tampered with the wards in all the bathrooms. But it’s not something you need to worry about.”</p>
<hr/>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>The following audio was taken from a recording device somewhat in proximity to the bathrooms. This dialogue was only discovered after the operation against SCP-8884 by dramatically enhancing the audio, and is posted here for records-keeping purposes.</em></p>
<p><em>Two minutes prior to this audio, cameras recorded SCP-8884-G entering the bathroom.</em></p>
<p><em>Of note is the fact that it did not appear to have its phone.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Hey. Yeah, I’m fine.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8884-G pauses.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Yeah, yeah, I know, gotta get ready for tomorrow night. Important operation and all that.</p>
<p><em>SCP-8884-G pauses.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Alright. Cool talking to you.</p>
<p><em>Ten seconds later, SCP-8884-G is recorded leaving the bathroom.</em></p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>Vivian dreamed of Guanyin.</p>
<p>The bodhisattva was sitting at her home in the South Sea. A tranquil, endless ocean stretched out around her. She was there with Sun Wukong, who was currently trying to pick up her porcelain vase off the back of a tortoise.</p>
<p>"You monkey,” Guanyin said, "all you know how to do is run your mouth. If you can’t even pick up a vase, how do you expect to vanquish evil?”</p>
<p>"Hey, cut me some slack here!” Sun Wukong exclaimed. "My master’s been getting captured nonstop for, like, years, and I just got my ass burnt three times in a row by that Red Boy bastard! Normally, I’d be able to pick this up no problem!” Indeed, there was a faint aroma of smoke, and Wukong’s hairs were singed at the tips.</p>
<p>"The vase is heavy,” Guanyin said, "because it has collected an oceanful of water.” She walked over and picked it up effortlessly.</p>
<p>"Wukong,” she continued, "not only can the sweet dew in my vase heal wounds and revive the dead, it can also extinguish the samādhi fire of the monster-spirit. I want you to take it, but you cannot pick up the vase. I want the Dragon Girl Skilled in Wealth to go with you, but I fear that you still harbor some mischief. When you see what a treasure my immaculate vase is, you will try to steal it. If you succeed, when would I find time to chase you down? You’d better leave something behind as collateral.”</p>
<p>Sun Wukong was very visibly offended.</p>
<p>"The hell are you so suspicious for?” he said. "Besides, all I’ve got are my clothes, my rod, and the golden hoop ‘round my head. There’s shit-all I can give for collateral. Unless you wanna take off my hoop?" He pointed to the golden circlet around his head, given to his master by Guanyin, his tightening control mechanism that he couldn’t remove.</p>
<p>"Smug, aren't you?” Guanyin said. "I feared as much. It seems that I have no choice but to come help you myself.”</p>
<p>Guanyin, her servant, and Sun Wukong boarded a cloud and left the South Sea. On their journey, Guanyin borrowed thirty-six "Swords of Constellations” from the Devarāja Li. She transformed them into a lotus platform, reminiscent to the one she’d been sitting on in the south sea.</p>
<p>"What, are you afraid to take the real platform with you?” Wukong asked.</p>
<p>"You will see in due time,” Guanyin said.</p>
<p>The three of them stopped above a mountain. Guanyin summoned the local deities and mountain gods, and ordered them to evacuate every living creature within a three-hundred mile radius. She then proceeded to empty her vase.</p>
<p>An ocean’s worth of water cascaded onto the mountain, flooding everything nearby until the scenery resembled Guanyin’s home in the South Sea: nothing but tranquil water for miles.</p>
<p>Guanyin used the willow branch and dew in her vase to paint the character for "delusion” on Wukong’s hand.</p>
<p>"Go provoke battle with the monster-spirit,” she said. "Let him defeat you and chase you back here. I have a plan to subdue him.”</p>
<p>Sun Wukong did just that. He went off to the monster’s lair and lured out the Red Boy. When the monster chased Wukong back to the newly created ocean, the Monkey King slipped into Guanyin’s divine aura and disappeared.</p>
<p>"You!” the Red Boy shouted, pointing at Guanyin. "The hell are you doing here? Did you come here to help that monkey?”</p>
<p>Guanyin did not respond. The Red Boy thrust his lance at her, and she promptly disappeared in a burst of light.</p>
<p>The Red Boy paused before laughing, shouting out several insults and jeers at Guanyin, making fun of her for running away. He took a seat on the lotus platform she left behind.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, hidden in the clouds, Wukong and Guanyin watched him.</p>
<p>"Wukong,” Guanyin said, "what are you mumbling about?”</p>
<p>"Mumbling?” Wukong said. "I’m saying that he stole your damn lotus platform! Look at it! It’s under his ass right now! You think he’s gonna give it back when he’s done?</p>
<p>"It’s part of the plan.”</p>
<p>"Well, I’m just saying. To me, it seems like the seat fits <em>him</em> better than it fits you.”</p>
<p>"Hush. Stop talking.”</p>
<p>Guanyin muttered the word "withdraw.” The lotus reverted back to its true form, the thirty-six razor-sharp Swords of Constellations, all of which promptly impaled the Red Boy.</p>
<p>The monster-spirit cried out in pain. He dropped his lance and began frantically trying to pry the swords out of his body. Guanyin recited another spell, and the swords turned into hooks that dug into his flesh.</p>
<p>The bodhisattva revealed herself, resplendent in glory as thousands of hands fanned out behind her.</p>
<p>"Bodhisattva!” the Red Boy cried. "Your disciple has acted blindly and foolishly! I beg you to show mercy and spare me!</p>
<p>"Are you willing to join me?” Guanyin said.</p>
<p>"Yes, I’ll do it!”</p>
<p>"Are you willing to receive my commandments?”</p>
<p>"Yes, as long as you let me go!”</p>
<p>Guanyin took out a golden razor from her sleeve and shaved the boy’s head.</p>
<p>"From now on,” Guanyin said, "I'll be holding you up to high standards. You will now be called the Boy Skilled in Wealth. How’s that?”</p>
<p>The Red Boy nodded, tears still in his eyes.</p>
<p>Guanyin waved her hand, and the Swords of Constellations dropped to the ground. The Red Boy was healed without a single scar.</p>
<p>However, it seemed that he had not entirely learned his lesson, for almost instantly he picked up his lance again and charged towards Guanyin.</p>
<p>Wukong moved to block the Red Boy with his staff, but Guanyin motioned for him to step aside. She took out a golden band, much like the one Wukong was currently wearing. It split into five rings. Four of them wrapped around the Red Boy’s hands and feet, while the last one enveloped his head.</p>
<p>Wukong watched with the glee that comes from seeing others experience the pain you go through, as Guanyin recited a spell that clasped the Red Boy’s legs and arms together. Soon, Red Boy was nothing but a struggling bundle of limbs on the ground.</p>
<p>"Wukong, this monster-spirit has been vanquished,” Guanyin said, "but he still needs to receive further education. I will take him back to the South Sea to make sure he learns his lesson."</p>
<p>"Hey," Wukong said, "that was kinda violent, no? Aren't you the bodhisattva of compassion or something?"</p>
<p>"Sometimes, harsh actions are needed to enact true kindness. Red Boy will be much more at peace after he begins following the Eightfold Path. But for now, why don’t you go rescue your master?”</p>
<p>Sun Wukong thanked her and left. Guanyin turned around to face Vivian.</p>
<p>"As for you," she said, "I unfortunately cannot help you yet. But all things work out as they should, in the end." Vivian, yet again, woke up to the blaring of her phone alarm.</p>

<h1 id="toc8"><span>UPDATE: After deliberation, the Decommissioning Department has given Eta-77 "Spheres Within Spheres" permission to neutralize SCP-8884.</span></h1>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<h5 id="toc9"><span><strong>Decommissioning Team: Mobile Task Force Eta-77 "Spheres Within Spheres"</strong></span></h5>
<h5 id="toc10"><span><strong>Subject: SCP-8884</strong></span></h5>
<h5 id="toc11"><span><strong>Team Lead: Eta-77 Donley</strong></span></h5>
<h5 id="toc12"><span><strong>Team Members: Eta-77 Perez / Eta-77 Vedantam / Eta-77 Huang / Eta-77 Kyeon / Eta-77 Romano / Eta-77 Taylor / SCP-8884-G</strong></span></h5>
<p>SCP-8884-G provided an address for the headquarters of SCP-8884. SCP-8884-G was equipped with radio communications. Other team members were given standard Eta-77 equipment, as well as permission to employ "REVIVAL."</p>
</div>
<h4 id="toc13"><span><strong>05/08/2024, 2:37 AM</strong></span></h4>
<p>Vivian had seen special operations agents before, and they looked nothing like Eta-77. Instead of night vision goggles, gas masks, and kevlar vests, the Eta-77 agents were dressed only in suits. they carried bags of seashells, japamalas,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> arrows, various scriptures, ashes, incense, and monastery bells, among dozens of other things that Vivian couldn't recognize.</p>
<p>They all still had guns though. She guessed that sometimes, you <em>did</em> just have to shoot a motherfucker.</p>
<p>A speaker inside the truck was blaring what Captain Donley called "pre-game music." Kendrick Lamar's <em>DNA</em> was currently playing. Vivian pointedly avoided looking at Hana for the whole trip.</p>
<p>They arrived at their destination. The Samsara Credit Solutions Agency's main headquarters were open for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Most of the Agency's employees lived in there, and they commonly returned from red-eye flights in the middle of the night.</p>
<p>The agents began unloading their cargo onto the lawn in front of the building. The night was almost completely silent: the only sounds were the chirping of insects and the equipment hitting the grass.</p>
<p>"No qualms about killing your old teammates?” Vedantam asked.</p>
<p>"Fuck no,” Vivian said. "They descend on you like vultures. Anybody who stays in that place is a rat bastard. Well, most people, at least.”</p>
<p>"Excluding you?”</p>
<p>"Including me. But … if you happen see a British guy with a giant rifle, do tell me where he is."</p>
<p>The team finished unloading the crates began to empty them of their contents. Perez started loading the rifles with silver bullets, all of which were carved with runes. Vedantam gently unpacked a crate full of molotov cocktails that flashed different colors. Huang took out a grenade made of flesh that growled at him, which he shoved into his bag. Vivian continued to hear muffled snarling noises coming from Huang's direction.</p>
<p>"Hey," Captain Donley said to Vivian, "are you squeamish?"</p>
<p>"I wouldn't say so," Vivian said.</p>
<p>"Good."</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>Eta-77 Donley drives a Leiner Destabilizer<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> into the ground and activates it.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Alright, everyone, let's start revival! Romano, take Yenuk. Vedantam, take Bannon. I'll get Hazaecko.</p>
</div>
<p>Though Vivian had admittedly not met many task force captains, she would hazard a guess that Captain Donley was one of the few that could be described as "bubbly." Her expression always seemed radiant, even as she was pulling out daggers and making ritual circles. Her blonde hair and tanned, freckled build reminded Vivian of the horse girls at her high school.</p>
<p>"Is she gonna ask us to do a 'let's go team' or something?" Vivian whispered to Romano.</p>
<p>"She used to," Romano said, "until we forced her to stop."</p>
<p>"Now she only does it at the end," Vedantam said, "when we're all half-dead and too tired to complain."</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Eta-77 Romano:</strong> I guess I'll start us off.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Romano takes a tree sapling out of his backpack. The other Eta-77 members step back.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Romano:</strong> Yenuk. Birther of medicine, soul of the forest.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Romano plants the sapling in the ground. Eta-77 Kyeon scatters ashes and holy water atop the sapling.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Romano:</strong> We pray to you even though the world moves on.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Romano stabs into his heart. He rips out the dagger and lets his blood drip onto the sapling.</em></p>
<p><em>The plant in the ground suddenly consumes Romano. It grows extremely fast, eventually reaching a height of roughly 2.5 meters.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Jesus!</p>
<p><em>The tree grows two branches, each of which develop into appendages that end with spindly fingers. The tree uproots itself to reveal two root formations, thick enough to be used as legs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Vedantam:</strong> Banonn. Protector of treasure, eternal radiance.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Perez has started a fire. Eta-77 Vedantam throws spices, incense, and several gold coins into it. The flame swallows the items, growing until it is roughly 2 meters tall.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Vedantam:</strong> We worship you even though the world does not.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Vedantam walks into the flame.</em></p>
<p><em>The fire collapses and wraps around Vedantam. His skin is now luminous. His eyes have lost their pupils, having instead become balls of light.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Oh, my turn!</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Donley takes out a bundle of arrows.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Hazaecko. Emblem of soldiers, enacter of justice. The all-seeing, all-reaching arm of the law.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Donley snaps the bundle of arrows and scatters them onto the ground. Eta-77 Huang takes several scriptures of an unknown language and lights them on fire before laying them on top.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> We remember you even though the world forgets.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Donley stabs an arrow into her right eye. She pulls out the arrow before snapping it in half and throwing it into the fire.</em></p>
<p><em>The flaming scrolls layer themselves onto Eta-77 Donley. They transform into metal plates, encasing Eta-77 Donley in a giant suit of plate armor. The arrowheads in the ground fly into these plates, melting in the armor to create blinking eyes wherever they strike. These eyes constantly swivel in different directions. The arrow shafts form a broadsword roughly 1.8 meters in length. Captain Donley picks it up and puts it over her shoulder. Her eye is still bleeding, but she does not appear to be phased.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> You all remember what you need to do?</p>
<p><em>The rest of the team expresses agreement.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Wonderful! Let's get going. I don’t know about you, but I'm excited to kill some false idols.</p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>As soon as they all stepped into the building, the glass door slammed shut on its own, locking with a click.</p>
<p>Much more pressing than the doors, however, was the earth-shattering explosion.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Eta-77 Huang:</strong> Hey, do you-</p>
<p><em>Eta-77’s mics peak.</em></p>
</div>
<p>All that Vivian remembered was that it was the loudest sound she’d ever heard. Her ears were filled with an incessant ringing as she tried to get her bearings.</p>
<p>The ceiling above them had collapsed, and concrete dust filled the air. Donley was using her broadsword to parry a two-meter tall knight in gleaming plate armor. Yenuk was trying to grow a blockade of roots in the hallway to block a surge of water, controlled by a man in a robe. Vedantam flashed in and out of existence in bursts of light, but shadowy figures grappled with him wherever he went.</p>
<p>Another gigantic explosion shook the building. More of the ceiling caved in. The hallway was now completely filled with dust. A chunk of concrete smashed into the ground two feet away from where Vivian was standing. She heard bullets fly past her head.</p>
<p>Gunfire. Flashing lights. Flames. Chants. More gunfire. Trees, saltwater, storms. Gold, arrows, swords, armor. There had to be at least a dozen people fighting around her.</p>
<p>Hana was a few metres away. Her face was visibly bloody, and she staggered as she fired into the dust. Vivian used her spectral hands to grab her.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> The hell are you doing?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Perez, on your left!</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Hana, just trust me!</p>
</div>
<p>Amid the dust clouds and gunfire, Vivian relied on her memory to drag Hana to a nearby storage room.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>For the sake of clarity, only communications made by Eta-77 Kyeon and SCP-8884-G during this time period are recorded below.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Here, use this to wipe off the blood. Ok. I intended for this to happen.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> You intended for us to get jumped?</p>
<p><em>An explosion is heard in the background.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Yeah. Made a fake call last night to tip off The Manager. Your task force needs to be a distraction, but I wasn’t going to tell them that.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Why the fuck—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Shut it. The Manager’s office is on the fourth floor. Our borrowers ask to talk about the machine, and The Manager takes them to his office. He always locks the door and draws the blind, but he left a crack in them one time when I was walking by. I saw him pull out the files. I know where they are. He said that they showed the location of a kill-switch on the fourth floor that could turn off the machine.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> You really think The Manager would store files that important in a place where you could get them?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> He always told me the easiest way to hide something was to put it in plain sight.</p>
<p><em>Another explosion is heard.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Respectfully, that's stupid as shit. We don't have to be hedging our bets on this. Can't you just go to the electrical room and turn off everything on the circuit panel?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> The electrical room is in the basement. Upstairs, we can jump out of a window if we need to get out. Downstairs, no escape route.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> We don't need one. The rest of the task force—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> The rest of the task force can't do shit, judging by how they were holding up. I'll take my chances upstairs.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Ok. We’re going back and telling Donley—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Fuck no. They need to be distracting the Agency as much as they can. This has to be just me and you. Ok?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Sure, even though we have no backup plan, no exfiltration plan, and we're working on information that's dubious at best.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> It’s going to work, because I know exactly what I’m doing. Your options right now aren't looking great. Are you coming or not?</p>
</div>
<p>They sprinted up the stairs, two at a time, as impacts shook sawdust off of the ceilings. They got to the fourth floor, only to discover that it was currently covered in a raging sandstorm.</p>
<p>"Fuck,” Vivian said. "Stay here and lock the door. If someone tries to open it, you can run away before they break it down.</p>
<p>"Who do you think you are, superman? I’m—”</p>
<p>But Vivian was already off. She slammed the stairwell door shut and sprinted through the hallways, all the way until she reached The Manager’s office. She closed the door and locked it.</p>
<p>She wrenched open the file cabinet and took out the papers labelled "AKIVA UPKEEP MACHINE BLUEPRINTS.” She opened the manila folder to find that the pages were completely blank, save for one sentence:</p>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em>Smart, but not smart enough.</em></p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Vivian heard the door swing open behind her.</p>
<p>"The locks here don’t work,” Tariq said. "We broke them on purpose last night.”</p>
<p>She turned around to see Tariq holding a familiar body. Hana’s eyes were wide open and glassy, her skull pierced by a bullet hole. The blood matting her hair was dripping down onto the carpeted floor.</p>
<p>Tariq's face was expressioness as pointed his shotgun straight at Vivian’s head. He pulled the trigger.</p>
<hr/>
<p>Silence. Nothing but deafening silence and a murky black void.</p>
<p>And then, suddenly, Vivian heard the sounds of birds chirping and people talking. She opened her eyes to find she was sitting outdoors at a tea shop. People chattered in Mandarin at the surrounding tables.</p>
<p>A Chinese woman in a flowing white dress with long, shimmering black hair sat in front of her. The woman slid her a cup of tea, a note, and a pen before vanishing.</p>
<p>In the cup of tea, Vivian saw the room where she’d just died. Tariq took her vase out of her suit pocket and put it into his own. He took her earpiece as well, inserting it into his own ear before leaving.</p>
<p>Vivian felt sick. She decided to read the note instead.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em>I can’t stay here to talk, but I can give you another try. do you want to come back to life?<br/>
YES / NO — please circle one.</em></p>
</div>
</div>
<p>What would she even go back for?</p>
<p>Vivian wrote on the margins:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em>why do you think I should?</em></p>
</div>
</div>
<p>The note wrote back:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em>so you’re undecided, then. shall I try to convince you?</em></p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Vivian wrote:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em>alright, I guess</em></p>
</div>
</div>
<p>And suddenly, Vivian was no longer sitting at the table. She was watching her teenage self standing at the dinner table, arguing with her parents.</p>
<p>"Oh my god! I go to a school that costs sixty-thousand fucking dollars a year!" she shouted. "Stop freaking out over every little thing!"</p>
<p>"I wouldn’t be ‘freaking out’ if you were doing something with your life!" her mother yelled back in Mandarin. "Are you willing to throw away your future just like that? All because you got lazy?"</p>
<p>"I wrote enough applications! Getting a C here is worth, like, the fucking same as an A in a public school!"</p>
<p>"Really? Since when did you become an expert on this?"</p>
<p>"Since when were <em>you</em> a fucking expert? Did you get a college admissions PhD from your—"</p>
<hr/>
<p>The scene changed. Vivian now saw herself at a house party. Trashy pop music was blaring in the background. Vivian was lying with her head hanging off a couch, her feet kicked up onto the backrest. Several red solo cups sat on the table next to her.</p>
<p>"That isn't all she said, was it?" Hana asked.</p>
<p>"No," Vivian slurred. "She told me … apply myself and use my potential or some shit."</p>
<p>"Well, will you?" Hana asked.</p>
<p>"Fuck no,” Vivian muttered, rubbing circles over her eyes. "That bitch can go die in hell."</p>
<p>"I don't think that's…" Hana cut herself off before she could finish.</p>
<p>The two of them sat in silence for a while. Before Vivian knew it, tears were silently streaming down her face.</p>
<p>"Tell me,” Vivian said, "It’s all downhill after this, isn't it? You grow up and your life goes to shit?"</p>
<p>"You know, some people say it's a pattern. It'll get worse before it gets-"</p>
<p>"Before it gets better, yeah, I know! But it’s been getting worse for three fucking years!”</p>
<p>Hana jumped at this sudden outburst.</p>
<p>"Sorry, I just …" Vivian stammered, "These are my own problems. You … you don't know me, anyways. I shouldn’t have asked you to help me.”</p>
<p>"Sure," Hana muttered. She sighed.</p>
<hr/>
<p>The scene changed. Hana was anxiously pacing alone in her apartment, holding her phone to her ear. It was almost dusk. The lights were off, and the room was bathed in shadow.</p>
<p>Hana checked the clock on the wall. She waited a few seconds, and then checked it again.</p>
<p>"Hello," the phone said, "you’ve reached Vivian Qian’s voicemail. Please leave your message at the tone.”</p>
<hr/>
<p>The scene changed. It was now sunset. Hana was at a park, next to a large tree. Birds were chirping faintly in the background.</p>
<p>The tree shaded nothing except for a smiling picture of Vivian. The photo sat on a stand, draped with several memorial wreaths. Incense was burning at a small altar nearby, and several flowers and stuffed animals laid beneath it. The empty rows of folding chairs in the background implied an event had just finished.</p>
<p>Hana was standing there, staring at Vivian's photo. She held a flower with large, purple petals.</p>
<p>"I’m sorry I waited until everyone else went away," Hana said. Her voice was shaky. "Too concerned about what other people think, I guess."</p>
<p>She paused for a moment before continuing. "I've seen people do this in movies. I wondered how it could possibly help to talk to someone dead. But I guess I still have a lot of things I’d like to say to you, and there’s … really no other option now."</p>
<p>There was a moment of silence.</p>
<p>"I wish I knew what happened," Hana continued. "I lie awake and think about it a lot. I hope you're doing better, wherever you are. Getting the break you deserve, after…"</p>
<p>Hana cut herself off. She inspected the flower in her hands as she regained her bearings, turning it over and looking at each individual petal.</p>
<p>"This is a coneflower," she said. "They're a very low-maintenance perennial. I mostly leave them alone, and they still give me these brilliant purple blooms every year."</p>
<p>Hana placed the flower among the piles of bouquets and plushies.</p>
<p>"But even these still need water once in a while," Hana said. "I was planning on telling you something about that later. I guess…"</p>
<p>Her face was beginning to stream with tears, creating a soft pitter-patter sound as they fell like raindrops onto the grass.</p>
<p>Hana shook her head and swore. She wiped her tears before walking away.</p>
<hr/>
<p>The scene changed. They were now in a Foundation break room. Hana, sitting on the couch, looked her current age.</p>
<p>The door opened, and Captain Donley walked in.</p>
<p>"Hana," Donley said, "do you wanna talk about it?"</p>
<p>"What is there to talk about?" Hana said.</p>
<p>"Someone who I assume to be an old friend of yours showing up in the middle of our containment site and attempting to extort us for money?"</p>
<p>Hana put her head in her hands. "Captain, if you want a full debrief, I can give it to you later. Just … not now."</p>
<p>"I'm not looking for a debrief," Donley said. "I can see that you're not doing alright. Is there, like, anything I can do?"</p>
<p>Hana sighed. The two of them stayed silent for a few moments.</p>
<p>"Actually," Hana said, "can I make a call?”</p>
<hr/>
<p>The scene changed. Hana was now in a conference room, talking to someone over the phone. Captain Donley sat in a chair facing her.</p>
<p>"Just tell her that her friends want to see her, ok?" Hana said. "Tell her that they won't be mad. They just want her back. Yes, I know she probably won't listen, but just … say something to her, will you? Alright, thank you. Thank you so much."</p>
<hr/>
<p>The scene changed. For some reason, it wasn’t going chronologically anymore. Vivian was now back at the restaurant, staring Hana in the face as a steak sat in between them. Hana's face was completely expressionless.</p>
<p>Hana slid her steak over to Vivian. A note rested on top of it:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p><em>YES / NO</em></p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Vivian buried her head in her hands. "There's nothing I can do," she said.</p>
<p>"Have you tried?"</p>
<p>"I don't need to.”</p>
<p>"Have you tried?"</p>
<p>"Hana, I've lived in my own body for twenty-three years. I know that—"</p>
<p>"Have you tried?"</p>
<p>Vivian looked up. Hana was staring her dead in the eye, determination written across her face.</p>
<p>The two of them sat in silence for eternities. Vivian took a deep, deep sigh.</p>
<p>"You're going to be disappointed," Vivian said.</p>
<p>"No," Hana said. "I'll be happy as long as you try."</p>
<p>Vivian circled the <em>YES</em> and handed the note back.</p>
<p>Hana stood up and gave her a hug. She smelled sweet, a mix of perfume and the coconut shampoo Vivian had given her to treat her split ends.</p>
<p>When they pulled away, Hana was smiling again; that brilliant grin Vivian remembered so clearly.</p>
<p>"Ignore my body,” Hana said. "Trust me, ok? Go talk to Captain Donley. If you can’t take the stairs, find a window with a tree close by. Jump out and Yenuk will catch you."</p>
<p>And then Vivian woke up.</p>
<hr/>
<p>She came back to life with a splitting headache. The adrenaline coursing through her body dampened it somewhat, but she could still feel heavy, throbbing pain in the back of her skull. Blood was still dripping from her face and hair. Her earpiece and vase were missing, just like she’d seen in the tea.</p>
<p>Hana’s body laid next to her, crumpled on the floor. Her eyes were wide open. On a whim, Vivian reached over and gently closed them.</p>
<p>"I’m coming back for you later," she said, "whether you like it or not.”</p>
<p>Vivian ran into the hallway. Tariq had left, and the sandstorm was gone. She reached the staircase to find that it had collapsed.</p>
<p>She turned around and sprinted to the window. There was a tree nearby. She was at least fifty feet above the ground.</p>
<p>She took a deep breath and jumped out.</p>
<p>Vivian’s heart dropped into her stomach as she felt gravity take hold of her. She plummeted towards the ground as everything in her vision turned into blurs of color.</p>
<p>Something broke her fall. It was springy, but still hard enough to make her entire back erupt in pain.</p>
<p>"Where the hell were you, and what the hell were you doing?”</p>
<p>She opened her eyes to find Perez leaning over here. His suit was ripped and torn in several places, and his face bore a large gash that was still bleeding. She was lying on a bed of leaves in the palm of Yenuk, the tree god Romano had summoned.</p>
<p>"Not important,” Vivian said through clenched teeth. She felt like a bone had to be broken <em>somewhere</em>. Probably multiple. "First of all, tell everyone to switch channels. Someone took my earbud thing.”</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Eta-77 Perez</strong>: Comms have been compromised. Someone got ahold of 8884-G’s earpiece. Switch to the emergency channel.</p>
</div>
<p>"Second of all,” Vivian said, "Where’s Captain Donley?”</p>
<p>"She’s in pretty rough shape,” Perez said. "Do you have the heal juice on you? Your vase thing?”</p>
<p>"No, but I can make something work. Take me to her.”</p>
<hr/>
<p>Perez took her to a rec room on the first floor. Thick layers of branches and roots sealed the doorways and windows, but the wooden barriers opened up briefly to let them through.</p>
<p>Eta-77’s agents were sprawled across the couches in varying states of injury. The ones in better shape were using a mixture of first-aid and thaumaturgy to patch up the rest.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>Note that SCP-8884-G is missing its earpiece, and as such, its dialogue was only heard through Eta-77 Perez’s mic.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Where the hell did the Agency go?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Perez:</strong> A few are laying siege outside the hallway, but Yenuk's reinforced the walls and doorways pretty well. We fucked ‘em up real bad, so they’re probably trying to heal too. The problem is, they do that faster than us, on account of being gods and everything.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> What about our gods?</p>
<p><strong>Agent Perez:</strong> Vedantam ran out of energy to support Banonn, and the captain got Hazaecko’s armor—and herself, actually—crushed by Cú Chulainn.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> Yenuk’s the only god we have left. MTF backup will get here in around an hour, so we’ve decided to wait until—</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> No. Not an option. That’s too long.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Perez:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Hana’s dead. We don’t have time to wait. I don’t have my vase on me, but I always know where it is. Someone has it on this floor, and we need it ASAP. I can’t resurrect without the vase, and even with it, revival won't work if the corpse is too old.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Perez:</strong> What’s the cutoff?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Depends. Usually around half an hour. Take me to see the captain.</p>
</div>
<p>Captain Donley was pretty fucked up. She was lying on the floor, her breathing labored and shallow. The other agents had taken off her plate armor, but large shards of it were still rammed into her body. Donley’s chest was visibly mangled, her arm was bent at an awkward angle, and Vivian saw what she thought were broken ribs. Huang was busy trying to stem her bleeding when he saw Vivian.</p>
<p>"Where the fuck did you run off to?” Huang said.</p>
<p>"Not important right now,” she said. "I can heal the captain. Step aside.”</p>
<p>Vivian knelt down next to Captain Donley as dozens of spectral hands emerged from her back, bathing the room in a celestial glow. They displayed buddhist mudras as they fanned out behind her.</p>
<p>She wasn’t quite sure what to do, but her body seemed to know. Dozens of hands emerged from her back, each of which began tending to the Captain’s wounds. Some healed Donley as they pulled out armor shards, leaving behind healthy flesh. Others fixed her arm and set her ribs, magically snapping her bones back into place. One glowing hand passed over Donley’s face, and the blood on it was wiped off.</p>
<p>When Vivian was done, Captain Donley sat up with a start.</p>
<p>"Hey, what happened?” Donley said. She turned and saw Vivian. "And where the fuck were <em>you</em>?”</p>
<p>Vivian caught her up to speed as quickly as possible.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Seems like you’ve left us in a great place, with Hana dead and me crushed against a wall. Congratulations. Are you looking for, like, a high five? A pat on the fucking back or something?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Look, I’m really, really sorry, ok? But I’m here now, and one of the Agency cronies has my vase. We can save Hana if you’ll let me help you.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> And how do you intend to help?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Well, I tried doing my own thing, but that went to shit, didn’t it? So if you have any suggestions, Captain, I’m all ears.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Alright. Well, you always know where your vase is, right?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> Yeah. Good enough to pinpoint a direction, at the very least.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> And you can heal the rest of us?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8884-G:</strong> I’m pretty sure I can even put your armor back together if you wanted me to.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Good. Then why don’t we just get healed, regroup, and go outside to fuck 'em up long enough for you to get your vase back?</p>
</div>
<p>Vivian’s spectral hands pieced together the shards of Hazaecko’s plate-armor. Each time the hands put together two pieces, they magically welded together. By the time Captain Donley was done describing the plan, the suit of armor was complete again, though it was missing the blinking eyes on the plates.</p>
<p>Captain Donley whistled.</p>
<p>Vivian had healed the rest of the team at least a little bit, and the other agents were dusting themselves off and picking up their equipment.</p>
<p>Hazaecko’s broadsword was in the corner, propped up against the wall. It was chipped and almost completely stained with blood.</p>
<p>Captain Donley reached over and hefted it over her shoulder. Vivian suddenly noticed how deceptively strong she was.</p>
<p>"Hey, Hazaecko! Bestie!” Captain Donley said. "We, like, totally blew it earlier, but in my defense, it wasn’t <em>completely</em> my fault, ok? You wanna give it another shot?”</p>
<p>The armor’s individual plates began flying towards Captain Donley. They layered themselves on top of her, reconstructing the full suit of armor. The eyes on the plates blinked open, swivelling in every direction again.</p>
<p>"Alright, guys!” Captain Donley said. Her radiant expression was back. Just by looking at her, Vivian felt confident that they were going to succeed.</p>
<p>"Do you all know the plan?” Donley asked. "Does everyone feel ready? Or <em>readier</em>, at least?”</p>
<p>Everyone nodded their heads.</p>
<p>"Good,” Captain Donley said. "Let’s go for take two.”</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>Yenuk's blockade retracts. Several Agency operatives, waiting in the hall, immediately train their guns on the doorway.</em></p>
<p><em>A flashbang is thrown through the doorway. Agency operatives shield their eyes. Eta-77 Donley emerges, broadsword in hand.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Miss me?</p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>The sounds of gunfire and explosions filled the building yet again.</p>
<p>Captain Donley was currently engaged in a swordfight with a man Vivian assumed to be King Arthur. The captain’s broadsword created huge dents in the man’s armor wherever she struck. Behind the captain, a giant with three heads and six arms charged towards her on flaming wheels, holding spears in each of its hands.</p>
<p>Every single eyeball on Captain Donley’s armor swiveled around to look at the giant. Without even glancing backwards, the captain swung her broadsword behind her and lopped off two of the giant’s arms, causing it to roar in pain.</p>
<p>Eta-77 had told Vivian to wait for the situation to get chaotic before she started running. She now sprinted through the hallways, dodging localized storms and pyres of flame.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for her, the vase was all the way across the building, near the back exit. Many of the first floor’s walls had completely collapsed, making certain hallways feel more like an open field.</p>
<p>A giant wave emerged out of nowhere and slammed her against the wall. She coughed and sputtered as someone pulled her aside into a nearby dorm and shut the door.</p>
<p>"I’ll handle this,” Vedantam said. "Stay here for a sec.”</p>
<p>Vedantam took out what looked like a molotov cocktail, except for the fact that its liquid was rapidly shimmering between jet black and bright, flaming red. He lit the wick, opened the door, and threw it into the hallway.</p>
<p>The molotov created giant tendrils of flame, tall enough to lick at the ceiling. Water hit it, but with no effect: in fact, the water seemed to be adding fuel to the fire.</p>
<p>"Go!” Vedantam shouted. Vivian didn’t need to be told twice.</p>
<p>She was roughly halfway across the floor now. She turned a corner and found herself staring straight at Archie.</p>
<p>He aimed his gun at Vivian, but hesitated for just a split second; long enough for Perez to sneak up and pistol-whip him from behind.</p>
<p>Vivian saw blurs of brown and green as she sprinted. Eta-77’s tree god had grown dense boughs and branches in several rooms, buying her more time to escape as she dashed through the hallways.</p>
<p>The vase turned out to be inside a safe in a large study. The lock required a password, but Eta-77 had anticipated that. Vivian took out the key they’d given her and pushed it against the safe’s door. A keyhole instantly appeared to receive it. She turned the key, and the door opened with a click.</p>
<p>She grabbed her vase and turned around, just in time to see The Manager walk in.</p>
<p>"Welcome back,” The Manager said. "We never really got a chance to talk things through. How about we sit down and—”</p>
<p>A broadsword chopped his head off.</p>
<p>"Go out the window!” Captain Donley yelled</p>
<p>"How rude!” The Manager’s severed head shouted. "I didn’t even get to finish my introduction.”</p>
<p>Vivian sprinted out the door. She saw The Manager’s body make some sort of hand symbol that blasted Donley into the wall with a sickening crunch. The captain groaned in pain.</p>
<p>The Manager’s decapitated body grabbed its head and reattached it, but at that point, Vivian was already gone.</p>
<p>She vaulted over a window into Yenuk’s palm, where Huang and Perez were waiting for her. The tree giant lifted its branches and brought them right below a window on the fourth floor.</p>
<p>"People are guarding Hana’s body,” Vivian whispered. "They’re trying to be stealthy, but I can hear them from here.”</p>
<p>"Oh, that’s easy to fix,” Huang said. He reached into his bag and took out the growling hand grenade made out of flesh. "This’ll clear out this entire floor.”</p>
<p>"What about Hana’s body?”</p>
<p>"It hates dead things.”</p>
<p>"<em>It</em>? And why haven’t we used this yet?”</p>
<p>"We haven’t gotten a chance to use this, because before now, we <em>also</em> happened to be indoors. But now we aren’t, so stop with the fucking questions, will you?”</p>
<p>Huang pulled the "pin” of the grenade, which turned out to be an entire spine. The vertebrae were still dripping with blood when he tossed it aside. The grenade began screaming in pain.</p>
<p>Huang tossed it into the fourth floor, and Perez closed the window.</p>
<p>Soon, there were a lot more screams. Something red, fleshy, and slick with blood expanded and pressed itself against the window.</p>
<p>A few seconds later, Vivian heard a series of extremely unsettling crunching and squelching noises. When that stopped, the flesh disappeared from the window. The tree giant raised its palm to let the three agents look through the glass.</p>
<p>Every single inch of the floor, wall, and ceiling was dripping blood and viscera. There were no corpses.</p>
<p>"It’ll only get worse the more you think about it,” Perez said, "so don’t. Let’s grab Hana.”</p>
<hr/>
<p>Hana woke up with a splitting headache. She saw Vivian leaning over her, holding her vase. Huang and Perez were standing in the corners, hair and shoes soaked in blood that was hopefully not theirs.</p>
<p>"Hana!” Vivian exclaimed. She gave Hana a brief hug before she pulled her to her feet, right as another explosion shook the building.</p>
<p>"Viv, what the hell did you—”</p>
<p>"Not right now. Later, I promise. Donley and the others are still fighting downstairs, so we need to leave <em>fast</em>.”</p>
<p>"If we need to leave,” Hana said, "can’t we just go through the windows?”</p>
<p>"Yes,” Huang said, "but there’s this invisible barrier that stops you after about five meters. Perez and I checked.”</p>
<p>"I think it’s generated by the machine,” Vivian said, "the same one that gives me powers. Which leads to the plan I was talking about.”</p>
<p>"Hey,” Huang said. "Hold on a sec.”</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Eta-77 Huang:</strong> Hey, captain, this is Huang. We’ve revived Hana. Any advice on what to do next?</p>
<p><em>Gunfire is heard through Eta-77 Donley’s mic. Her voice is fatigued.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> If she feels good enough to fight, tell her to—shit!—come back me up on the first floor. We’re getting tired, and this manager bastard just absolutely refuses to—</p>
<p><em>A loud roar interrupts Eta-77 Donley.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Donley:</strong> Gotta go. Her and Huang need to come down. Perez, go with Vivian to—</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Donley’s mic peaks.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Huang:</strong> Captain? Captain? Shit.</p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>"Is there a problem with Hana’s old plan?” Perez asked.</p>
<p>"Yeah,” Vivian said. "It's literally the only place we could be going. Any one of them with two brain cells to rub together can figure out we'll be down there. Shit happens, there's no way out, and I die. My vase is gone, and the captain's fucked."</p>
<p>"You're that sure you'd lose a fight?" Perez said.</p>
<p>"You think the Bodhisattva of compassion is well-known for hand to hand combat? Shithead."</p>
<p>"Do you always curse like a fourteen-year old? Or is it just when you—"</p>
<p>"Hey,” Hana said, "do you guys think Taylor could get her out?”</p>
<p>"Oh, you're right!” Huang said. "Why didn’t I think of that?"</p>
<p>"Who the fuck is Taylor?” Vivian said.</p>
<p>"He was gonna be central to our plan until we got jumped,” Perez said. "And since then, there hasn’t been a situation where he would’ve made a difference. So he’s just been here this entire—”</p>
<p>"Yeah, but <em>who the fuck is he</em>?”</p>
<p>"Can’t tell you, unfortunately,” Perez said. "That Manager bastard’s got ears everywhere. One sec.”</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Eta-77 Perez:</strong> Hey, Taylor? You there? Uh, if you can’t respond right now, give us a tap on your mic or something so we know you heard us.</p>
<p><em>A tap comes from Taylor’s mic. There is a pause of around twenty seconds.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Taylor:</strong> Alright. I can talk for a bit.</p>
<p><em>Extraneous dialogue removed. Eta-77 Perez asks if Eta-77 Taylor could help SCP-8884-G exfiltrate.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Taylor:</strong> No problem, mate. I gotta go for now, but gimme a holler and I’ll get her out.</p>
</div>
<p>Perez recapped the conversation.</p>
<p>"Well?” Hana said. "Do you trust him?"</p>
<p>Vivian sighed. "Why not?”</p>
<hr/>
<p>"Do you know what we’re looking for?” Perez asked.</p>
<p>Compared to the chaos they’d passed through, the basement was eerily silent. There was no sound except for the click of their shoes and the humming of machinery.</p>
<p>"An electrical room,” Vivian said, "or really any room that’s large and suspicious.”</p>
<p>"Got it,” Perez said, before his head was blown to smithereens by a shotgun. His blood sprayed onto Vivian’s face.</p>
<p>She felt sand particles around her, carried by an invisible wind. Buckshot tore into her left leg.</p>
<p>Vivian ran.</p>
<p>"Viv," Tariq said, "This is pointless." The sand was at her back. She could feel grains of it in her hair, batting against her face.</p>
<p>The injury combined with the dim lighting did her no favors in trying to quickly read all the signs. Archives. Cleaning supplies. Storage. <em>Electrical.</em></p>
<p>Vivian sprinted into the room and slammed the door shut, locking it with a click. She hoped they didn’t think to break the basement locks as well. She fumbled on the wall next to her before she eventually found the light switch.</p>
<p>There was a giant machine set into the center of the room. It looked like a plane turbine, only double the size and a lot quieter, emitting nothing but a dull him. Just like Captain Donley had guessed, its sides were inscribed with runes and texts in several languages. Vivian saw Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, old English, Hindi, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and several other scripts she didn't recognize.</p>
<p>She found the circuit panel on the side of the wall, only to realize it was locked.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>The following is bodycam footage taken from Eta-77 Kyeon. She is currently accompanied by Eta-77 Huang and Eta-77 Vedantam in fighting a group of entities in a large open foyer.</em></p>
<p><em>An entity that resembles a black void punches Eta-77 Huang in the stomach. His eyes briefly flash black before he coughs blood and collapses onto the ground.</em></p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Kyeon throws a glowing knife that hits the entity in the eye. It screams and fades into the shadows.</em></p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Kyeon runs to check on Huang. Blood is still trickling from his mouth.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Are you—</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Huang:</strong> <em>No</em>, I’m <em>not</em> good. I think I just got my liver crushed into my kidneys.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Jesus. The rec room—</p>
<p><em>A jet of flame narrowly misses the two of them.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Vedantam:</strong> Grab Huang!</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Kyeon pulls Huang into a nearby hallway.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> The rec room is nearby. Go there and treat Donley. She’s not doing so hot, last I checked.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Huang:</strong> You sure you can handle all this shit by yourself?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Hopefully.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Huang stands up with some difficulty and begins hastily lurching towards the rec room.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> <em>Muttering</em>: C’mon, Viv. Hurry up.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Kyeon reloads her shotgun and steps back into the foyer. An explosion and a blinding flash of light are heard.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Fuck!</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Vedantam:</strong> Over here!</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Kyeon’s bodycam is now too damaged to record.</em></p>
</div>
<p>Sand was beginning to stream in through the cracks as Tariq kicked the door over and over. Its wood began to splinter.</p>
<p>What could Vivian do? All she had was a gun and her vase—</p>
<p>Her vase. The Red Boy had burned Sun Wukong with the True Fire of Samādhi, which not even the Monkey King could extinguish. Defeated, Wukong went to Guanyin for help, which is when she scooped up an ocean's worth of water in her vase.</p>
<p>Her suit pocket suddenly felt a lot heavier.</p>
<p>Vivian heard the sound of splintering wood behind her. Tariq had kicked down the door. Sand was beginning to fill the room.</p>
<p><em>This extraction plan had better fucking work</em>, Vivian thought.</p>
<p>She took the porcelain vase out of her pocket and flipped it upside down.</p>
<p>A tsunami of water flowed out of vase, like a gigantic dam that had just been unplugged. The room was submerged within seconds. The giant turbine flickered and sputtered, erupting in a flash of sparks before it suddenly ground to a halt.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><em>The roaring heard from Kyeon’s mic disappears. The screeching heard from Huang’s mic disappears. The sound of crashing waves heard from Vedantam’s mic dissapears.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Taylor, start the extraction!</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Taylor:</strong> You got it.</p>
</div>
<p>Vivian's muscles seized up. A tingling in her body turned into burning, fiery pain as she felt herself getting electrocuted. Someone was pulling her muscles so tight they were about to snap. She couldn't breath, she couldn’t even think.</p>
<p>She heard the sound of footsteps in sloshing water somewhere nearby.</p>
<p>Tariq peered over her, gun pointed to her face. Vivian tried to talk, but her lungs wouldn't cooperate.</p>
<p>He pressed his shotgun to her forehead before a bullet pierced through <em>his</em> skull.</p>
<p>"Fuck yeah," Archie said. "Look at that timing. I should be a screenwriter."</p>
<p>Archie pulled her to her feet and fed her some sort of liquid. It tasted gently sweet, like a diluted syrup. Vivian's muscles relaxed as she gasped for breath.</p>
<p>She looked at Archie only to notice he was currently wearing a Foundation badge.</p>
<p>"Eta-77 Agent Archie Taylor," he said. "It's a pleasure to meet you."</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Taylor, this is Kyeon. What's your status?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Taylor:</strong> We ate.</p>
<p><em>Eta-77 Kyeon laughs.</em></p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Slightly more specific, please?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Taylor:</strong> Tariq is dead. The giant machine was powered down. We’re not currently in danger.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Perez:</strong> And the water she flooded the basement with worked as normal for revival. God, this headache sucks ass.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Kyeon:</strong> Alright. Vivian had the right idea: the Agency people seem to have lost their powers. MTF backup is here now. Cleanup time, everyone.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Taylor:</strong> By the way, Perez. Why the fuck did you hit me so hard?</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Perez:</strong> It needed to be convincing.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Taylor:</strong> Bullshit.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Perez:</strong> Yeah, I know, I just wanted an excuse to hit you. I still haven't forgotten about the drains, you know that? I was in the middle of my shower. Scared the shit out of me.</p>
<p><strong>Eta-77 Taylor:</strong> That wasn't <em>my</em> fault!</p>
</div>
<hr/>
<p>Captain Donley woke up and immediately vomited.</p>
<p>"You’d better be grateful,” Huang said. "I had to channel my inner Gandalf to pull enough thaumaturgy bullshit to heal you.”</p>
<p>After she rinsed her mouth out, Donley asked, "did we win?”</p>
<p>"Yes, captain,” Hana said, "we won.”</p>
<p>"Let’s go! Fuck yeah!” Captain Donley said. "Hey, can I get a celebratory ‘let’s go team’ on three?”</p>
<p>A round of grumbles passed through the room.</p>
<p>"Oh, come on,” Captain Donley said. "I was single-handedly carrying the fight on the first floor.”</p>
<p>"Single-handedly is a strong word,” Vedantam said.</p>
<p>"Well, I had to keep that manager bastard occupied for ages! Getting crushed over and over really hurts! Oh yeah, and I was wavering at the brink of death for like ten minutes! Twice! I <em>at least</em> deserve a ‘let’s go team’ on three!”</p>
<p>Vivian and the rest of Eta-77 reluctantly put their hands together and gave her a "let’s go team” on three.</p>

<h4 id="toc15"><span><strong>10/02/2024</strong></span></h4>
<p>"My mom invited you out for dinner,” Vivian said. "Are you free next Friday?"</p>
<p>"She doesn't need me, she needs a therapist," Hana muttered. "But sure. I'll come."</p>
<p>They'd told Vivian's friends and family a cover story. According to them, she'd joined a scammer organization that didn’t allow outside contact, which wasn't very far from the truth.</p>
<p>Two weeks after she’d lost her powers, Vivian received a mysterious package in the mail. It contained a lotus flower with a sweet, soothing aroma, which calmed Vivian slightly whenever she smelled it. It never seemed to dry up. She'd lost it once, when it slipped out of her bag while she was moving into her local college dorms, but she'd found it sitting on her desk the next day.</p>
<p>The package came with a single slip of paper. It read, in both English and Chinese, "glad I could help."</p>
<p>Now that Vivian was pulling all-nighters for her graduation requirements, she'd realized the possible benefits of caffeine. Hana had bought a tray of drinks for her to try.</p>
<p>They now both lived over an hour away in different directions from the park they used to go to, but they decided to drive and meet up there anyways. They were both sappy like that.</p>
<p>Vivian sat up on the picnic blanket to look at the drink tray.</p>
<p>"Have you tried any of them yet?" Hana said.</p>
<p>"No,” Vivian said. "Hey, you like americano, right?”</p>
<p>"Yeah.”</p>
<p>"I'll give it a shot," Vivian said. She took a sip of the americano before she spat it out onto the grass beside her.</p>
<p>"This shit sucks!"</p>
<p>Hana laughed. "Try some of the others, then," she said.</p>
<p>"Americano is just coffee and hot water, right?"</p>
<p>"Correct."</p>
<p>"And all of these drinks are primarily made out of coffee?"</p>
<p>"Yes."</p>
<p>"So if I hate coffee and water, why the fuck would I like any of these more?"</p>
<p>"What are you, psychic? You know what they're gonna taste like before you even pick 'em up? Just try 'em."</p>
<p>Vivian took a sip of the latte.</p>
<p>"Huh," she said. "Not bad, actually."</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Apprehended SCP-8885-1 instances are to be held within appropriate aquatic life containment units for their species. Foundation Web Crawler Portia2 is to restrict all access to SCP-8885 beyond the SCP-8885-1 instances with pre-existing registered accounts. All SCP-8885-1 instances that still retain access to SCP-8885 are to be located, apprehended, and contained.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8885 is an online dating site titled 'Plenty o' Fish,' used by species of aquatic organisms. SCP-8885 users, classified as SCP-8885-1, are a group of sentient, English-speaking aquatic organisms with the ability to access SCP-8885 through anomalous means. SCP-8885-1 instances typically use the site to attempt reproductive activities when such activities fail to be successful in the wild, using SCP-8885 as an alternative.</p>
<p>SCP-8885 was initially created by an unidentified PoI in late 2022 as an attempt to combat declining aquatic biodiversity on the East Coast using anomalous means. However, data suggests that SCP-8885 is not a successful means of accomplishing this.</p>
<p>Non-anomalous aquatic organisms have been found to become SCP-8885-1 instances after acquiring knowledge of SCP-8885's existence, typically through interactions with other SCP-8885-1 instances.</p>
<p><strong>Discovery:</strong> SCP-8885 was first discovered on 12/2/2024 when Foundation WebCrawlers recovered images of Junior Researcher Dr. James Hutson's pet goldfish and apartment online. It was found that his goldfish<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> had registered an account with SCP-8885. Following this, its activities on the site were analyzed and recorded, leading to the discovery of SCP-8885. The mentioned activities are available below.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 1.3: Conclusion:</strong> Using SCP-8885-1 instance "Garry" as well as other monitored accounts, the following analysis was produced to determine if SCP-8885 is a beneficial means of combating declining biodiversity to potentially facilitate less restrictive containment procedures.</p>
<div class="collapsible-block">
<div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Open</a></div>
<div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none">
<div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Close</a></div>
<div class="collapsible-block-content">
<p>Upon concluding the research, it has been found that "Garry" is not an outlier in relation to attempted breeding. It's determined that SCP-8885 is an ineffective method for countering declining aquatic biodiversity within its area of effect. Only roughly 25% of matches resulted in successful in-person meetings, and of those, only 25% led to successful reproduction.</p>
<p>In comparison with leading non-anomalous dating sites, this puts SCP-8885 at a similar success rate in terms of finding a successful mate to Tinder or Grumble.</p>

<p>SCP/8886 is currently contained in a standard containment chamber at SITE-303. Security cameras located within SCP/8886’s containment chamber are to have undergone specialised SCRAMBLE Protocol modification, in order to prevent security personnel from being subjected to the anomaly.</p>

<p>SCP/8886 during an SCP/8886/B event.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><span class="hilighter"><strong>DESCRIPTION:</strong></span> SCP/8886 is an analog, CRT television, dated to 1987. SCP/8886 remains turned on and at full power even when not connected to any power source, and continuously displays a video recording now designated SCP/8886/A.</p>
<p>SCP/8886/A is a video recording that constantly emanates from SCP/8886. SCP/8886/A is a static shot of a green hill, upon which is a large, wooden cross. Upon this cross is a figure bearing resemblance to the religious figure of Jesus Christ<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>. This figure is nailed to the cross by the hands and ankles, but does not visibly bleed, and regularly emits sounds of great distress. SCP/8886/A does not appear to loop, and seems to either be an extremely long, if not infinite, video, or a form of ‘live-stream’.</p>
<p>SCP/8886/A is a form of visual cognitohazard. Individuals that observe SCP/8886/A will begin feeling symptoms such as pain in the hands and ankles, the taste of blood in their mouth, the feeling of dehydration, the feeling of intense sun on their face, and heavy sensitivity of the eyes. Individuals who continue to observe SCP/8886/A will begin to experience vivid vision of being strung up on a cross and crucified. These hallucinations appear to have a continuous story, but are almost always interrupted by SCP/8886/B, before the full story can be experienced. Following an SCP/8886/B occurrence, the story resets to the beginning with the next individual.</p>
<p>SCP/8886/A shows signs of interference, and is often interrupted by bouts of static that entirely block out the video. For ease of reference, these bouts of static have been designated SCP/8886/B.

<p><em>They then did my ankles. Those were a lot harder to get through with the nails they were using, but it did the job, and soon I was bound to the cross. I did not bleed</em></p>
<p><em>They had a rope attached to the top of the cross, and they used it to pull the cross up to a standing position. That’s when I saw the crowd gathering on the hill before me. Some were weeping.

<p><span style="color: #f6c403">ε-5 deploys, and all members proceed cautiously into the structure. ε5-Alpha orders all members to have weapons drawn and ready to fire. All members comply.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f6c403">They enter through the ruined archway into the interior. ε5-Victor makes a comment about the state of the structure. ε5-Alpha orders him to be quiet. ε5-Victor makes further comment about ε5-Alpha’s leadership abilities.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f6c403">A small disturbance is heard from within the structure. All members are immediately wary, and raise their weapons. ε5-Alpha cautiously walks towards the source of the disturbance. When the coast appears to be clear, she orders all other members to continue. ε5-Bravo makes a comment about “this place freaking her the hell out”.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f6c403">The team reaches the centre of the structure, which contains a stone well, which appears to stretch down indefinitely. The team hears footsteps from behind them, and immediately turn, weapons raised. They see a figure which seems to be a priest, wearing white robes. His eyes have been gruesomely cut out, and replaced with two small, wooden crosses. The figure has a euphoric smile.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f6c403">ε5-Alpha orders the figure to stop moving. The figure ignores her order, and slowly approaches the team. It raises its arms slowly, and begins incoherently mumbling words which appear to be latin.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #f48237">“<strong>jesu christe salvator noster qui in cruce mortuus est pro peccatis nostris in vita post- ueni gaude eum gaudere gaude gaude gaude gaude</strong>”</span></p>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><span style="color: #f6c403">The figure continues to approach despite ε5-Alpha’s orders. When the figure is approx. 2 meters away from the team, ε5-Bravo shoots her rifle, killing the figure instantly. Several team members protest, but ε5-Bravo remains adamant it was the right decision. ε5-Alpha appears indifferent, and orders the team to keep moving.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f6c403">As the teams descends further, the cathedral becomes a labyrinthine structure with several dark rooms. The teams splits up and begins searching individual rooms. ε5-Sierra reports finding several malnourished humanoid beings cowering among rubble in a collapsed section. One of the beings becomes hostile, and ε5-Sierra is forced to execute the group. Anti-Akiva readings increase.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #f6c403">After approx. 30 minutes of searching the structure, ε5-Victor reports discovering a “weird-ass TV”. At this point, ε5-Victor’s camera feed is interrupted by heavy static, and he becomes unresponsive. When the other team members converge on ε5-Victor’s location, they find him dead, nailed to a wooden cross. SCP/8886 sits on the ground before the cross. ε5-Bravo is ordered to collect SCP/8886, and the team makes a hasty retreat.</span></p>

There are bloody chunks of flesh on the nails where his hands and feet used to be. It seems he has made a gruesome getaway.</em></p>

<p><span class="hilighter"><strong>ADDENDUM 8886/4:</strong></span> On 12/02/2006, SITE-303 experienced a severe, localised CK-Class Non-Retroactive Reality Restructuring event, which severely altered the internal topology of the facility. A distress call was immediately sent by TAURUS.AIC to the nearest site, SITE-465. Below is the eyewitness report of Captain Roger Braxton of Mobile Task Force ξ-1 "Firefly", which was the first to arrive on the scene.</p>
<div class="no-unfold">
<div class="containercontainer">
<div class="container">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">When me and the team deployed, we had no idea what to expect. The only info we got was that it underwent, what is it, a CK-Class Reality Restructuring Scenario? by the way, this was not our forte. We just so happened to be the first ones on the scene.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">I don't know what happened there, but it was… monstrous. The inside of the facility was just one big room. This was completely different to how the facility looked on the outside. I think I'm starting to understand the 'Reality Restructuring' bit a lot more now.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">The inside… god. It was awful. The room was massive, at least 30 meters long in one direction, with a considerably taller ceiling. All the personnel from SITE-303, 200 of 'em, I think, they were lined up along both walls of the room, in two neat rows, and they were… god, they were all</span></em> <span style="color: #f48237">crucified<em>! They were writhing on the crosses, but not in pain, but in… bliss? I think?</em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">We didn’t do anything for a while now, because, obviously, we were pretty shook. Lexi even had to step out for a minute, y’know, get some fresh air. But we had a job to do, and we sure as hell were gonna do it.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">Even after we got our composure, it was still pretty fuckin’ creepy seeing all these people, some of them friends, strung up like this like it was some sort of religious orgy.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">I gotta give this anomaly credit; if it was trying to send a message, it sure as fuck did. Even being in there just made us want to scram. If that was an anomalous effect, or just a natural human reaction, I can’t tell. Maybe a little bit of both. And while we were already pretty fuckin’ wary of the place, I don’t think anything could’ve prepared us for what was in the centre of the room.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">Okay. I’m over-exaggerating, but it was still pretty terrible.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">There was the Site Director, the Malcolm guy, I think, and he was crouching on the floor. His hands and feet were nailed down to the floor, kinda like how the people on crosses’ hands and feet were nailed like that. And he was in a complete trance. He didn’t respond to anything we threw at him. And yes, I did try punching.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">And SCP/8886, the one y’all were talking about earlier? Yeah, he was staring right at it. Completely entranced. I’ve read what it does to people. He was probably having his own spiritual awakening or something.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">But the weirdest thing wasn’t even Malcolm, it was the</span></em> <span style="color: #f48237">TV<em>. If there’s one thing it’s going for it, it’s the static. The fizz, the buzz. We even heard it when we were walking in here. But the screen… it wasn’t all staticky anymore. None of that /B stuff. Clear, crisp footage of Jesus Fucking Christ on the cross.</em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #f48237">…</span></em></p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8887</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Uncontained</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8887 is currently unable to be contained due to a lack of understanding of the anomaly. In order to facilitate research and containment efforts, Researcher Valentina Gonzalez is to continue to document her dreams in as much detail as possible. Efforts to track down SCP-8887-1 are currently ongoing.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8887 refers to a pocket dimension that exists in a shared dream-space. The origin and purpose of this dimension is unknown; currently, the only known way of accessing SCP-8887 is via dreaming. Affected persons will intermittently have their consciousnesses transferred to this dimension upon achieving the REM stage of sleep.</p>
<p>SCP-8887 consists of a contiguous space, with no known topological boundaries. The dimension is predominantly formed from amorphous purple, pink and pastel-colored materials, shaped into organic structures present throughout the landscape. As of yet, research has not determined a pattern or purpose to these formations, nor the base material.</p>
<p>At the time of writing, SCP-8887 has only been accessed by a single individual at once, and exclusively by Researcher Valentina Gonzalez. Additional research is ongoing to determine the origin and cause of this effect, and to determine why only Researcher Gonzalez is affected by this anomaly. At this time, it is not believed that Researcher Gonzalez is the origin of this anomaly.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum-1-Discovery:</strong> SCP-8887 was first encountered on 02/12/2023 by Researcher Valentina Gonzalez. At the time, Researcher Gonzalez was unaware of the anomalous effects of SCP-8887; below is an excerpt from their dream diary detailing the initial discovery.</p>

<p>[BEGIN TRANSCRIPTION]</p>
<p>I had a really weird dream last night. Like really weird. I know I'm supposed to try and document all of my dreams to see if I can find a pattern, but this is the first time in months I've felt compelled to actually open this book up and write in it.</p>
<p>So yeah. Here we are.</p>
<p>I woke up in this strange world - I normally dream of malls, schools, or places I know. But everything here was foreign. More than that, it was completely empty other than me. The ground was a soft pastel periwinkle, with this thing that almost seemed like tall grass growing out of it. I remember that, because it looked just like the fields I used to run through back home. There were these weird objects that rose out of the ground, creating towering shapes dotting the landscape. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to them - they just filled the space.</p>
<p>I started to wander around, exploring, trying to find anything identifiable - but there wasn't anything. It was weirdly quiet - like any sound I made was being absorbed by the rest of the landscape.</p>
<p>I thought that I saw something move out of the corner of my eye, but when I ran towards it, I couldn't find anything.</p>
<p>I woke up shortly after - normally I wouldn't think to write about this dream, but the strangest part was that it was so vivid, so lifelike, so… meaningful, that I couldn't seem to forget any of the details. And that never happens.</p>
<p>Who knows though, this might just be something weird I ate. It's not like I have recurring dreams that often.</p>
<p>[END TRANSCRIPT]</p>
</div>
<p>Researcher Gonzalez did not note any other relevant dreams until 4/18/2023 - their dream diary from that date is below.</p>

<p>[BEGIN TRANSCRIPTION]</p>
<p>I went back. Remember that strange pink place? I dreamed about it again.</p>
<p>Okay, full disclosure, I've had a lot of dreams about it. But none of them felt like they mattered. They were short, quiet, forgetful. I only caught a glimpse of that place. I was always in the same place - back in those periwinkle fields. Last night, after I fell asleep on my couch, I woke up back in that place. It had changed.</p>
<p>It never changed.</p>
<p>I looked around, and tried to see how much was the same as last time - and that's when I noticed something. There was a clear depression through the field - as if somebody had just walked through it, pushing the grass to the side.</p>
<p>I decided that I would follow their path and see what I found. The path meandered through the field, until it came to a clearing. The organic shapes rose around on all sides, creating an almost protected grove - holes peppered throughout gave windows to inside the structures. I realized this time that there was no sun, but everything was lit the same. Dream logic, I guess.</p>
<p>I looked for where to go next and saw what looked like a path - that is, there was a gap between the shapes, that if I squinted at, could be called a path.</p>
<p>So I kept following it.</p>
<p>I walked for what felt like hours - the landscape was changing, but never meaningfully. A different shade here, a larger blob there, but never a clear change between areas. I was about ready to give up when I saw something weird.</p>
<p>A fish floating by. In the air.</p>
<p>Now I know it's a dream. Everything is fake, but that fish felt so real? I needed to follow it. When it saw me, it darted inside one of the shape-structures. I started to climb the shape, using the holes as places for my hands and feet until I was at eye level with the hole the fish had flown into.</p>
<p>I put my eye against the hole and looked in - the inside of the shapes were darker and looked empty. I scanned around for the fish, but couldn't find it anywhere. And then, as if appearing out of nowhere, there was a green eye staring back at me.</p>
<p>I let go in shock and fell to the ground, landing hard. I looked back up at the shape but saw no movement. I was about to say something - when my alarm went off and I woke up.</p>
<p>This has happened too many times. And this time I can't forget the field - I think about it at least once a day, if not more than once.</p>
<p>Shit. I think I'm going to have to report this.</p>
<p>[END TRANSCRIPT]</p>
</div>
<p>After Researcher Gonzalez' second encounter with SCP-8887, they reported the suspected anomaly to their supervisor and the Foundation began research into the anomaly. Due to the fact that Researcher Gonzalez seems to be the only individual able to access the dimension, they were assigned to the team as lead researcher.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum-2-Initial-Research:</strong> With the formation of a team dedicated to researching SCP-8887, Researcher Gonzalez was equipped with dream monitoring technology, and began to exclusively sleep while under Foundation observation in a facility. Any and all attempts by the Foundation to regain access to SCP-8887 were unsuccessful - further research into identifying the origin of the dimension was also unable to determine anything.</p>
<p>On 4/21/2023, Researcher Gonzalez submitted a testing proposal to modify testing procedures, and instead try to gain entry to the pocket dimension while asleep in her apartment - the location where she first encountered the anomaly. Below is the first exploration transcript recorded of SCP-8887, captured at Researcher Gonzalez' domicile on that same date.</p>

<p>[BEGIN LOG]</p>
<p><em>Researcher Gonzalez is in the periwinkle field.</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> I'm… I'm back here again.</p>
<p><em>Researcher Gonzalez walks through the fields. As she continues through the fields, the landscape changes. Researcher Gonzalez reaches out at the changing sky.</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> This is the same as last time, I think. Maybe? It looks like it, but I don't know anymore. Has anything ever been consistent in here? There have to be some rules, some logic that governs things, right? Something that… stays.</p>
<p><em>Researcher Gonzalez continues walking, making it to the shaped grove, structures seeming to grow around her, creating towering shapes.</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> What about… a fish! Maybe I can find another fish? It seemed to like this thing - I don't even know where they come from.</p>
<p><em>Researcher Gonzalez begins to reach up to one of the structures but freezes mid-reach. A shadow slowly begins to appear behind Researcher Gonzalez. She sees the edges of the shadows - it's an unidentified humanoid figure.</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> Hello? Is there anybody here?</p>
<p><em>Researcher Gonzalez whips around, but they are alone in the clearing.</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> What?</p>
<p><em>Researcher Gonzalez looks around in confusion.</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> I swear I-</p>
<p><em>In the distance, Researcher Gonzalez identifies a figure, that quickly disappears behind a shape. She starts into a run, chasing after them.</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> <em>[Panting]</em>.</p>
<p><em>Turning the corner, the shapes have changed, actively morphing around her, colors shifting as it does. In front of her is a cave mouth, or what looks like one. There are a set of amorphous stairs leading down deeper into the ground - made out of even more of the pastel material.</em></p>
<p><em>Researcher Gonzalez looks around, and seeing nobody, begins to descend into the underground section.</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> I know I saw somebody here. I just need to find where they went.</p>
<p><em>Researcher Gonzalez quickens their pace. Running down the stairs, they slowly change shape, flattening out into a tunnel. As she runs, the tunnel changes colors and shape, from the organic pastel stone structures, into a dark concrete tunnel, typical of utility tunnels within the continental United States.</em></p>
<p>Researcher Gonzalez slows her pace, looking around. There is no consistent pattern to the numbering of the doors, nor do any of the doors have door knobs.</p>
<p><em>At the end of the hallway, she spots a doorway. That door has a handle - in almost a blink, she is suddenly in front of the door, the world seems to move around her. Researcher Gonzalez slowly puts their hand out and onto the knob.</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> This has to be it.</p>
<p><em>Researcher Gonzalez slowly twists the knob, pushing the door open. The door opens onto a hallway of an apartment building, painted and decorated exclusively in purple and pink hues.</em></p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> I'm in… an apartment building? This feels familiar. But… this is the first time it looks like the real world.</p>
<p><em>One of the doors opens. From the apartment emerges an unidentified humanoid entity, dressed in a pastel sleeping cap and sleep shirt with long white hair, designated SCP-8887-1. SCP-8887-1 jumps backward upon seeing Researcher Gonzalez.</em></p>
<p><strong>SCP-8887-1:</strong> Ah! Who are you?</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> My name is Valentina. What are you doing here? Did you wake up here as well?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8887-1:</strong> Wake up here… I don't know what you mean… and, Valentina? I don't know anybody with that name. What are you doing here?</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> I'm here because I'm trying to figure out what this place is. Have you been here before? Do you live here?</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8887-1:</strong> Do I live here? What are you doing <em>here</em>?</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> Hey, it's okay, calm down. There's no need to be hostile. I'm just trying to understand this place.</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8887-1:</strong> <em>You</em> don't get to understand this! <em>You</em> don't get to tell me to calm down! I didn't make you! This is <em>my</em> dream!</p>
<p><strong>Researcher Gonzalez:</strong> Your-</p>
<p><strong>SCP-8887-1:</strong> Leave.</p>
<p><em>Researcher Gonzalez is pushed by an invisible force and knocked backwards against the wall of the hallway. The feed suddenly cuts to black.</em></p>
<hr/>
<p>[END LOG]</p>
</div>
<p>At the exact moment the feed cut, Researcher Gonzalez was forcibly awoken in their apartment. Foundation monitoring showed that their REM functions immediately stopped, all at once. Further research to identify SCP-8887-1 and any additional information regarding the anomaly itself is ongoing.</p>

<div class="jotting">
<p><strong>CAMERA LOCATION:</strong> EXT. Southwest Perimeter Watchtower, Site-15<br/>
<strong>SHOT CLASS:</strong> Establishing</p>
<hr/>
<p>Dense, moonlit woods are barely visible on the distant ground, shrouded in fog. The camera pans upward, and Site-15's Faraday-Hexfield comes into focus: a shimmering, golden bubble of quarantined energy, resting atop an angular expanse of brick and paved stone.</p>
<p>Within, a monolithic cylindrical facility towers over the forest, silhouetted in moonlight. Its uppermost level rotates continuously, soon revealing an intense orange spotlight which bores through the fog, outlining the treetops below.</p>
<p>The spotlight scans the forest, growing steadily brighter as it approaches the camera. View fades to white.</p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div class="jotting">
<p><strong>CAMERA LOCATION:</strong> INT. Hexfield Maintenance Access Tunnel NW-04, Site-15<br/>
<strong>SHOT CLASS:</strong> Overhead</p>
<hr/>
<p>Feed of a dim concrete tunnel. On the wall, a red indicator diode begins flashing, illuminating a maintenance panel below reading "INTELLIWARD ACCESS NW-04-08."</p>
<p>Five minutes pass. Eventually, lamplight shines down the tunnel.</p>
<p>Two technicians wearing protective Hexmat suits step into view, their faces occluded by opaque vizors. The first bears a large, amber headlamp; the second is much taller and heavyset, carrying a cylindrical black case framed in telekyllium-bronze alloy. With some effort they heft it onto a nearby workbench, revealing an ornate, gold insignia shimmering in the ambient light as the case <em>clicks</em> unlocked.</p>
<p>The lankier technician opens the maintenance panel and inspects an unseen object within. They then procure a set of large metal tongs from their toolbelt and carefully reach into the panel. Moments later, the technician retrieves a charred gray cube from the wall. The cube fizzles and visually distorts, deforming into other regular and truncated polyhedra, phasing partially through the tongs but remaining held in place.</p>
<p>The case is opened, revealing two spherical cages: one empty, and one containing another, translucent cube filled with a rolling cloud of iridescent particles. The gray cube is gingerly dropped into the empty cage, where it thrashes fruitlessly against an invisible barrier. The technician then uses the tongs to extract the clear cube and install it within the panel.</p>
<p>The indicator diode ceases flashing, and the technicians share a thumbs-up through vantarubber gloves.</p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div class="jotting">
<p><strong>CAMERA LOCATION:</strong> INT. Residence Wing B, Staff Commons, Site-15<br/>
<strong>SHOT CLASS:</strong> Closeup; pan to Medium</p>
<hr/>
<p>View of the Staff Commons' entrance doorway from an oblique angle. To its right, a faux-painting depicting dogs playing pool is hung in a large, black frame. To its left, a wall-mounted whiteboard displays the schedule for the Commons' rec-room, indicating its current reservation by one Prof. K. P. Crow.</p>
<p>The <em>clack</em> of colliding ivory is heard as the camera routinely pans left, settling on a view of the Commons' Pool table: smooth, emerald felt on slate, bordered in varnished wood. It is beset on opposite sides by a thin, middle-aged man in a blue suit, and a golden retriever wearing boxy glasses. The latter's cue stick is riddled with heavy bite marks.</p>
<p>A shiny black orb rolls to a gradual stop in the table's center, obscuring an angular gold insignia beneath. The eight-ball is alone on the table, and a muffled <em>thud</em> indicates the pocketing of another ball. The suited man smirks, retrieving the cue ball from the table's return, gently positioning it at the far end of the play area. The retriever whimpers in dismay.</p>
<p>"Not my fault you can't see red on green," the man sneers, hunching over the play field to line up his cue. He presses a concealed button on the butt; seconds later he makes his shot, sending the cue ball whizzing about at an unnatural angle and speed. It bounces many times, nearly missing several pockets and slowing down considerably. When it finally approaches the center, it contacts the eight-ball with just enough force to barely send it over the edge of the felt, into the pocket.</p>
<p>Synthesized fanfare sounds; a green hue illuminates the victor. The suit smirks with pride as his opponent begins to bark complaint. The camera routinely pans right, following the man as he walks to the far wall to store his cue in a private locker.</p>
<p>"Put it in the Site's donation fund," he quips to Crow before strolling out into the hall.</p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div class="jotting">
<p><strong>CAMERA LOCATION:</strong> INT. Administrative Wing, Hallway to [REDACTED], Site-15<br/>
<strong>SHOT CLASS:</strong> Medium-Close; pan to Medium-Wide</p>
<hr/>
<p>An ornate mahogany door is centered in frame, contrasting the clerical off-white of the surrounding walls. It bears a gold plaque engraved with the words "DIRECTOR'S QUARTERS," in which the reflection of the camera is visible; it is disguised as a peephole, embedded in a similar door whose plaque reads [REDACTED].</p>
<p>An elevator <em>ding</em> is heard from offscreen and unseen doors slide open, releasing amber light into the pale corridor. Footsteps approach the camera, revealing the blue-suited man from the previous footage. He glances at the plaque above the camera, then down each end of the hallway, before reaching into his back pocket with a huff.</p>
<p>The suit produces a sleek, black SCP Foundation ID card, and holds it to a scanner beneath the camera. It identifies him as one Ryoto Hishakaku: senior AI systems researcher, present Site-15 Director. The card's "CLEARANCE" field is modified with several illicit symbols, which the scanner spends several moments parsing.</p>
<p>Eventually a short chime plays, and the door to [REDACTED] <em>clicks</em> unlocked. Director Hishakaku shoves the door open, panning the door-mounted camera's view into [REDACTED]: a luxurious penthouse suite with an open floor plan, dark black walls and gold-accented decor. He steps inside with a sigh of relief, removing his suit jacket and hanging it behind the door, out of frame. The Director then closes the door, panning the camera back to the hallway, and it <em>clicks</em> locked.</p>
</div>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p>
<div class="jotting">
<p><strong>CAMERA LOCATION:</strong> INT. Administrative Wing, [REDACTED] Balcony View East, Site-15<br/>
<strong>SHOT CLASS:</strong> Over-the-Shoulder</p>
<hr/>
<p>Hishakaku steps out from [REDACTED] wearing a blue bathing suit and earpiece, carrying a towel, a lowball,<span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">Whiskey glass.</span> and an hourglass-shaped liquor bottle. He shivers in the cool night air, using an elbow to carefully slide the door shut, and waddles away from the balcony's entrance. The Director successfully reaches the balcony's hot tub, setting down his towel and gingerly descending into the perpetually-steaming water. He spends several minutes getting comfortable, then pours himself a drink, takes a deep breath, and presses a button on his earpiece.</p>
<p>"Alright, 'Lex, time for the <em>nightly</em>," he smirks, sipping from the whiskey glass. "Did the staking operation on the Maxwellists go through? ETH's gotta be up at least two percent by now."</p>
<p>"<em>Director</em>!" The synthesized exclamation of artificially-intelligent conscript Alexandra.aic crackles. "Where <em>are</em> you? The network says you're still on-Site, but I can't see —"</p>
<p>Hishakaku glances toward each of the [REDACTED] balcony's cameras in turn. "Don't worry about it. Now, did we get the <em>Maxes</em> in on the op?"</p>
<p>"Sir, I've been trying to contact you — there's been a breach. Site-15 is observing Ekhi status protocols in full. We require—"</p>
<p>The Director sits up, reaching over to close the liquor bottle. "Woah, hey — hang on a second, you did <em>what</em>? What the <em>hell</em> kind of breach would make you do <em>that?</em> I swear to—"</p>
<p>"Not my call, sir. It's by Overseer order."</p>
<p>Hishakaku begins to climb out of the hot tub, gathering his things. "<em>What happened!?</em>"</p>
<p>"Someone's stolen SCP-8888."</p>

<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8889 is a collection of anomalous media produced by Vikander-Kneed Technical Media (GoI-5889) related to Dr. Wettle's abduction from Site-43 on 1 February 2024 by said GoI. Though SCP-8889 has little to no harmful memetic effect (unusual for media produced by Vikander-Kneed), all SCP-8889 instances have demonstrated various minor anomalous qualities.</p>
<p>SCP-8889-A is a .mp4 file containing footage of Marian MacPhaerson, VP of Public Relations at Vikander-Kneed. While currently not possessing any anomalous traits, according to Dr. Wettle, upon originally viewing SCP-8889-A, it had:</p>
<ul>
<li>Seized control of all operating systems and subroutines on Dr. Wettle's computer;</li>
<li>Sealed the door to his quarters;</li>
<li>Contained an individual unseen on replaying it;</li>
<li>Projected physical limbs out of the screen;</li>
<li>Functioned as a portal to an unknown location.</li>
</ul>
<p>SCP-8889-B is an 8-episode season of a television show called "The Wondrous Wedding of William Wallace Wettle". According to Dr. Wettle, SCP-8889-B is an accurate depiction of his experiences while in the custody of Vikander-Kneed. Attempts to duplicate SCP-8889-B footage, either digitally or on physical media, will eventually result in the copy degrading into a still image of an anti-piracy screen.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 1: Discovery</strong></p>
<p>On 1 February 2024, Dr. Wettle received an email with the subject "DO NOT WATCH" containing SCP-8889-A. Three minutes later, Dr. Wettle had downloaded and watched the file and vanished from his dormitory. His disappearance was not reported until ten hours later on the following day, as he was presumed to have overslept.</p>
<p>Following Dr. Wettle's disappearance, an investigation was launched. SCP-8889-A, having been left open on a still image of Dr. Wettle screaming, indicated Vikander-Kneed as the obvious culprit. Due to the lack of knowledge regarding Vikander-Kneed's operations, a rescue mission was deemed impractical. Given Vikander-Kneed had abducted Dr. Wettle before several times, only to return him a few hours or days later, the decision was made to wait for Dr. Wettle to be returned again.</p>
<p>On 15 February 2024, Dr. Wettle was discovered unconscious in the Site-43 mailroom. At the same time, copies of SCP-8889-B in multiple formats<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> were found in his mailbox.</p>
<p>After his return, Dr. Wettle was offered psychological counselling. He attended one mandatory session, then refused to continue.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 2: Transcripts of SCP-8889</strong></p>
<p>The following transcript was taken on 2 February 2024 by Dr. Lillian Lillihammer. Dr. Wettle's responses were added on 17 February 2024, and represent an incomplete memory of the conversation.</p>

<p><em>[A white man with red hair and no mouth sits beneath a Hawthorn Tree in front of a sunset. This man begins to play a tender melody on an acoustic guitar, as pictures of Dr. Wettle appear in the sky behind him.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A whispery voice sings indiscriminate lyrics. Only the words "one", "missing piece", "television", and "forevermore" can be heard with any clarity.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera pulls back, revealing the man and the hill to be a framed picture on a wall inside of Dr. Wettle's childhood house. The house is empty and shows no signs of residence.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera pulls back further, and reveals this house to be inside of a snow globe, labelled "Christmas, 1975".]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera pulls back even further, revealing it to be a light on a sign saying "The Wonderous Wedding!" The lights on the sign turn on, revealing <strong>Marian MacPhaerson</strong> standing beneath it.

<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Hey, Willie! Sorry about the door, we just had to make sure you listened.</p>

<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Don't worry, this video has less than a minute left.</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson pauses. Dr. Wettle asks if this is a live feed.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> <em>[Laughs.]</em> No, silly! This is a prerecorded message, you're just very predictable.</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson waits. Dr. Wettle does not remember what he says at this time.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well, that's rude.</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson waits. Dr. Wettle asks why she is talking to him.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> I'm here to tell you that you're invited to a wedding!</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson waits. Small droplets of blood form on her bandage. Dr. Wettle expresses confusion.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Yours!</p>

<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Why, us, of course! Who else?</p>

<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, you silly goose! Not <em>me</em>!</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson waits, the bloodstains on her bandage having grown noticeably larger. Dr. Wettle, yet again, expresses confusion.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Macphaerson:</strong> Maybe it'll be easier to explain in person.</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson looks to her left, where nobody stands. According to Dr. Wettle, when first viewing the tape, there was a "big muscular blue guy with antenna for ears" there.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Clarence, do your thing.</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson cackles, some blood flinging out of her bandage as her head bounces. According to Dr. Wettle, when first viewing this tape, "Clarence" reached out from the screen and dragged him into it.]</em></p>

<p><strong>Episode #:</strong> 1</p>
<p><strong>Title:</strong> VKTM Tonight!!</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> Dr. Wettle learns about his new situation.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The episode opens with Marian MacPhaerson wearing a pantsuit and sitting on the right side of a table. Behind the table is a curtain with a logo saying "The Wonderous Wedding of William Wallace Wettle" in bubble lettering.]</em></p>
<p><em>[<strong>Dr. Wettle</strong> is wheeled in on a swivel chair by unseen attendants. He is wearing a filthy lab coat. Dr. Wettle is bound with velvet ropes, with a black hood over his face.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Hello everyone! Welcome to this week's episode of "VKTM Tonight!!"</p>
<p><em>[Applause is heard from a presumed audience off-camera. Dr. Wettle visibly shakes against his restraints.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Thank you, thank you! Now, tonight is a special night. We have a new guest! Everyone, may I introduce Doctor William Wallace Wettle!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle's hood is pulled off, revealing a bandana gag, which is also quickly removed. He screams.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The audience applauds.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Isn't he charming!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[Screaming as he thrashes in his chair.]</em> Where the hell am I?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Wrong question, Willie!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What is all this?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Getting warmer…</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[Calmer, no longer thrashing.]</em> What are you going to do to me?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> <em>[Claps.]</em> There it is! Good job!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What… are you going to do to me?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> That would be a spoiler, dummy!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Spoiler?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well, we wouldn't want to spoil VKTM's newest hit reality TV show!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[Weakly.]</em> Reality TV?… What kind of… no… again?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Yes! A brand-new season of whimsy and fun!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I don't care, just leave me alone.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> But Willie! You're the star!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[Sits up, alert.]</em> What?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> The show is <em>The Wonderous Wedding of William Wallace Wettle</em>, after all!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Wedding… I'm getting married? You were serious about that?</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson nods.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> To who? I haven't had a girlfriend or wife in <em>[Wettle stops himself, turns to look at the camera, looks back at the table.]</em> a while…</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Why, us!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Who?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Us!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Who is "us"?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> VKTM. V-K-T-M. Your captors. Forbes' highest rated anomalous media company.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> <em>[Tilts her head to the side.]</em> Your fiancée!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Wait, I'm marrying the <em>company</em>?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Of course!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> But… you can't do that!</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Why not? Corporations are people too, ya know!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> But I don't want to marry you!</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, you silly thing! That's why it's a show, not an episode! You'll have plenty of time in your character arc to rethink that.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Wait, that thing you said about corporations being people. Is that the bit?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> The bit?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Yeah, the bit. Like, the message behind all this.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> There's always a message behind what you make, right? Like, global warming, or some vague political statement.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Willie, do you believe in the "Death of the Author"?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Huh?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well, here at VKTM, we're big believers in it! <em>[MacPhaerson turns to address the camera.]</em> That's why after filming finishes, the writing staff will be shot!</p>
<p><em>[An earpiece in MacPhaerson's ear lights up. She listens for a moment, then sighs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Damn union. <em>[MacPhaerson turns to address Dr. Wettle.]</em> Does that answer your question?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No, you still haven't explained what the meaning of—</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> <em>[In a more serious voice than before.]</em> Wettle, this bit is running thin, you need to get used to obtuse answers during your stay here. <em>[Her voice goes back to normal.]</em> Okay?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> …Okay.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Now, we can't skip straight to the wedding. We have to court!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I'm not gonna—</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Every relationship needs to start somewhere.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> But we aren't—</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Think of this interview as our first date!</p>
<p><em>[Neither of them speaks. Dr. Wettle raises his eyebrows at MacPhaerson, who grins back.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> The interview?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Yes! We have to get to know each other better, after all.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I'd rather not, thanks.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Too bad! You're gonna be here for a while.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Ugh.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle grumbles to himself. MacPhaerson nods at him expectantly.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What? What is it?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> I'm waiting for you to start the interview.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Me? Why?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well, because that's what you SCP researchers do, silly!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I work in Replication, I never—</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Besides, we already know everything there is to know about you.</p>
<p><em>[There is a short pause.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What do you mean <em>everything</em>?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> I mean everything, <a href="/scp-7000">SCP-7000</a>. Congratulations, by the way.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Thank you?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> You're welcome!</p>
<p><em>[For a moment, neither speaks. MacPhaerson nods at Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[Uncertainly.]</em> Okay. Why am I here?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> To marry VKTM on TV, of course!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No, I… I <em>think</em> I understand that. I mean… Why me?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Because we find you funny, and you aren't seeing anybody else.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You find me funny? Why?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Hmmm…</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Hmmm?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> I'm trying to figure out how to phrase this nicely.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Oh. Don't bother.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Okay!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Where am I?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> In front of a live studio audience!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You know what I mean.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Fine. Are you familiar with virtual reality?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Yeah?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> A set of screens set to your movements, combined with special triggered sounds, makes you believe you're in an entirely different place.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> And makes you throw up, I get it. Is that where I am? Virtual reality?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> No. Imagine the opposite of that.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I don't understand. What do you mean?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> No, you have to imagine.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Fuck this. What should I be interviewing you about?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Whatever you want! Any questions you have, now is the time.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Alright. When and how did VKTM start?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, that's a loaded question. I like to think it started when the bleeding edge of development cut through the first word uttered by an ape. When laughter turned from a signal of submission to a sign of merriment. When humanity first was able to look at the world around it and comprehend how much it needed change. How tomorrow needed to be better. I like to think that was the true start of VKTM.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What? What the fuck are you talking about?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> VKTM is just the latest in a long tradition of media for a Better Tomorrow<sup>TM</sup>. Our spiritual cousins stretch back forever, from the court jesters to the Cynics.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I don't get it.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Don't worry, it's mostly nonsense.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Right. How long am I going to be here?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, just until the end of the season. The finale is our wedding!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> And if I refuse to marry you?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Why wouldn't you want to? I mean, we're a safe, stable option, and it's not like you're seeing anyone else. And the tax benefits alone—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> But I don't love you.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well, this isn't really about love, is it? It's a television marriage. I mean, you're gonna be marrying an LLC. And we don't exactly have a tender relationship.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I'm not gonna marry you. I don't know how on <em>earth</em> you think you can change my mind, but I'm not.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well, you're not that complicated a person, Willie. You're lazy, you're stubborn, you hate responsibility, your friends think you're an asshole, and the time and place of your death are—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Fuck you. You know what? I'm not gonna be your god damn chew toy. You know me, but <em>I</em> also know <em>you</em>.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle begins to shake his chair from side to side, and starts to scream.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You think you can hurt me by saying nonsense and laughing at me for not getting the joke? People have been laughing at me for decades. The universe decided to make me a target long before you assholes did!</p>
<p><em>[The velvet ropes around Dr. Wettle tear and snap off.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I'm going to break out of here. And when I do—!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle's chair falls away from the camera. He shrieks, and grabs the curtain as he crashes into the ground. Half of the curtain is torn down by his weight.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle looks behind the curtain. There is an infinite black abyss.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Original.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> <em>[Shrugs and snaps her fingers.]</em> If it works, it works!</p>
<p><em>[The velvet ropes begin to animate. One wraps itself around Dr. Wettle's neck, while the others bind him to the chair again.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle stares furiously at the camera, choking.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle's eyes lose focus on the camera, and he starts thrashing about.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle passes out from asphyxiation.]</em></p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson laughs gleefully.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The episode ends.]</em></p>

<p><strong>Episode #:</strong> 2</p>
<p><strong>Title:</strong> Anomalouser in an Anomalous Land</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> Dr. Wettle wakes up from a dream to find his home changed.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The episode begins with a still shot of a sleeping Dr. Wettle in the Replication Studies Common Area at Site-43. Dr. Wettle is slumped onto a metal table in front of the rainbow-colored logo of the Site painted onto brick. His face is on its side in a bowl of microwaved cheese puffs.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle snores and rolls his head slightly.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle snores again, this time facing down into the bowl.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle bursts awake, gasping and sputtering.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle screams, grabs at his throat, and calms down.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Oh Jesus, oh fuck. Oh thank god.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle looks at the clock, and begins polishing his glasses.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Damn it, all night? My back…</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle's glasses slip from his fingers and drop to the ground. He picks them up. One of the lenses is cracked, and falls apart as he picks it up. Some of the glass shards fall into the back of Dr. Wettle's hand.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Ow! Shit!</p>
<p><em>[A chorus of laughter streams through the room. Dr. Wettle perks up, and a look of horror dawns on his face.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No. No. No, no no no no no, no. <em>No</em>. No!</p>
<p><em>[The door to the room opens. In the doorway stands <strong>Charlie Fiero</strong>, <a href="/scp-5904">VP of human resources at VKTM</a>. Fiero has disproportionately long legs, so that the top half of his head is obscured by the doorframe.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Fuck you! Fuck you you fucking wacky fucks!</p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> Why, Willie! I'm surprised. You <em>said</em> you wanted to go home.</p>
<p><em>[Fiero chuckles. Dr. Wettle charges at him, screaming.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The scream turns into a shriek as Dr. Wettle reaches the doorframe and looks up. He scampers back into the break room.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[Incomprehensible rambling.]</em> What the fuck?</p>
<p><em>[Fiero smirks. Wettle throws a chair at him.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The chair passes through Fiero's body.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> Oh, silly Willie… you of all people should know by now that isn't going to work.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Wait, I remember you! You were in my room!</p>
<p><em>[Fiero laughs. His voice is distorted.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> Willie, I never made you do anything. I just taught you your place, but it seems like you've forgotten it.</p>
<p><em>[A white-haired woman with a shotgun and a colorful lab coat sneaks behind Fiero.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> Well, it's like riding a bike.</p>
<p><em>[The white-haired woman slaps what appears to be a sticker on Fiero's back.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> You never really forg— <em>[Distorted screaming.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Fiero's body is torn to shreds as he disintegrates. The white-haired woman pulls down a bandana on her face, revealing herself to be <strong>Dr. Lillian Lillihammer</strong>.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Wettle? What the hell are you doing here?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Lily? They got you too?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer pulls out her shotgun and aims it at Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What are you doing?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer stares at Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Watch where you're pointing that. You're scaring me.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer glares.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Lily, please… whatever you think I did I swear I didn't do. You don't need to do this. Please!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer notices blood dripping from Dr. Wettle's hand, where he cut himself before. She lowers the shotgun. Dr. Wettle slumps back in relief.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What the hell are you doing in here? Where did you even get that?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> You son of a bitch.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Of course, <em>of course</em> it had to be you.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer breaks into laughter.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What is it? What's so funny?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> I came here praying there would be anyone left. And it turns out there's just <em>you</em>! Of all people to find at the end of the world.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What the fuck are you talking about?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer eyes Dr. Wettle suspiciously.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> You really don't know?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> As far as I know, VKTM kidnapped me. <em>Again</em>. Two more times and I qualify for another free sandwich. So what is it now? They build some kind of replica break-room in a warehouse? Is there an overblown metaphor for climate change outside the door?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Wettle, what's the last thing you remember?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> It was February 1st, and I got an email from—</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Wettle, it's March 3rd.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> …What?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> February 1st… that's the last thing you remember?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No, I had a weird thing on some kinda talk show with VKTM, then I woke up here.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer clenches her fists and grits her teeth. Dr. Wettle suddenly looks at her anxiously.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Wait a minute. Before, you said you were looking for "anyone left". What happened?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer swallows and looks at Dr. Wettle shamefully, tears in her eyes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> A Better Tomorrow<sup>TM</sup>.</p>
<p><em>[The scene cuts to Dr. Lillihammer and Dr. Wettle walking through the subway tunnels of Site-43. Dr. Lillihammer is visibly annoyed.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> So how'd it happen?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> How'd the world end?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Everything just went wrong. There was a day of chaos, and then it was over.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> But how do you even know that VKTM was behind it? They were busy with me. Could you be jumping to conclusions?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> First of all, <em>never</em> accuse me of jumping to conclusions again. Second of all, because the stars told us.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Huh?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Big constellation in the sky on that first night. "This Interactive Performance brought to you by Vikander-Kneed Technical Media".</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> But if they were behind it… why would everyone be dead?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer turns and glares at Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> You'll see when we get outside.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Alright. It just seems weird.</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Why?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Well, you told me "VKTM doesn't kill people." You <em>kept</em> telling me, if I remember right. I'd come back shaking after they made me a guest on <em>Dancing With the Stars They Took From You</em>, and you'd say "Wettle, VKTM doesn't kill people! You chose to spend an hour dancing, those guns were for show! You could have stopped at any time!" And now you're telling me they ended the world?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Well, I was wrong and you were right. Congrats! It'll be the only time in your life.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I guess. But the thing is, if everyone else is dead, why are we both alive?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> I don't know, that's what I keep asking myself.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle takes a step back.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I called you Lily before.</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Yeah?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You hate that. You always tell me not to call you that.</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> What are you implying?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I don't know.</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Maybe, you self-obsessed paranoid bastard, my priorities changed when the <em>fucking apocalypse</em> happened.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer walks towards Dr. Wettle menacingly.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> There are three people that I know are still alive. Don't make it two.</p>
<p><em>[Wettle nods.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The two of them go back to walking through the tunnels.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The scene opens outside of the subway access to Site-43, in the town of Grand Bend. The landscape is flooded with a viscous red liquid. Trees are shriveled up and dying. A mountain of meat and corpses stands in the center of town. Dr. Wettle and Dr. Lillihammer exit the entrance.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What the fuck?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Yup.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What happened?</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> That liquid started flooding everywhere. Weather went crazy. Most people ran towards the nearest populated area and started making a mountain. You ever hear of a human crush?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No.</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Well, that's what happened. End of the world, like I said. Just you, me, and Thilo left, as far as I know.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> The sky is the wrong shade of blue.</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> The sky is wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Wettle, what the fuck are you talking about.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Just. The sky looks weird. Everything about this feels wrong.</p>
<p><em>[An incredibly old man walks out from behind a bush. He has a German accent, and is wearing a suit. He is Thilo Zwist.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Zwist:</strong> I'm afraid you're right, young man.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Young man? I'm 53.</p>
<p><strong>Zwist:</strong> <em>[Laughs.]</em> When you get to be my age, everyone looks young.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No they don't! Don't patronize me just because you're like, 400.</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> You know him?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I know <em>of</em> him. He's some big memeticist.</p>
<p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Yes. Lillian and I were able to survive the initial—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No.</p>
<p><strong>Zwist:</strong> No?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No. This isn't right.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle screams out into the field.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I'm not falling for this, guys!</p>
<p><strong>Lillihammer:</strong> Wettle, what are you talki—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Shut up. I know.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Lillihammer smirks, while Thilo rolls his eyes. Thilo passes a small bag of gold coins to Dr. Lillihammer.]</em></p>
<p><strong>"Zwist":</strong> <em>[With no German accent.]</em> Damn it. You couldn't have taken another hour to figure it out?</p>
<p><em>[Both "Dr. Lillihammer" and "Thilo Zwist" begin to turn into the viscous red fluid that floods the world.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Come on. You can't think I'm <em>that</em> stupid, right?</p>
<p><strong>"Lillihammer":</strong> You got pretty close in the tunnels, there.</p>
<p><strong>"Zwist":</strong> I didn't even get to my part! I had a whole thing planned out!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Well, too bad. Who wrote this? Did you really think you could trick me for that long?</p>
<p><em>[As "Dr. Lillihammer" and "Thilo Zwist" disappear into the liquid, Charlie Fiero materializes behind Dr. Wettle. He is about a meter taller than him. The camera never looks up, keeping the top of his head permanently obscured. Wettle turns around, looks at Fiero, and screams. He covers his eyes and looks down.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> DAMN IT!</p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> I am truly sorry we had to deceive you like that, Willie.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What the hell was this even for? Just to fuck with me?</p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> Oh, nothing like that.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Then what? Wasn't this supposed to be about a wedding?</p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> You wanted to know about us, right? We were just showing you the world as we see it.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> …what?</p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> The world is in disrepair. Nature is dying, or changing so fast we can't keep up with it, and yet all we care about is making it up to the top of the heap.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> So it's a metaphor for climate change <em>and</em> capitalism?</p>
<p><em>[Fiero smirks.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> Willie, Vikander-Kneed doesn't use metaphors. Now watch out, the tide is coming in.</p>
<p><em>[Fiero dematerializes. Dr. Wettle screams obscenities at him.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A large wave of the red viscous fluid appears in the distance.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The wave gets closer.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> BRING IT ON YOU MEDIA BASTARDS!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle is swept away by the wave.]</em></p>
<p><em>[After the liquid stills, Dr. Wettle's hand reaches out the surface.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Slowly, the hand sinks, as a stinger plays.]</em></p>

<p><strong>Episode #:</strong> 3</p>
<p><strong>Title:</strong> Face! Your! Fear!</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> Dr. Wettle faces his greatest fear.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The episode begins with Dr. Wettle in a harness, asleep, dangling off the edge of a cliff. His glasses have been fully repaired.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle swings in the breeze gently. He opens his eyes.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle screams.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Wah! Let me up! Oh God pull me up!</p>
<p><em>[From the top of the cliff, peering over, is VKTM Stunt Coordinator <strong>Dave Racksaw</strong>. Racksaw's skin is a fullbody suit. As he blinks his eyes or moves his mouth, his true body, a mass of viscera, nerves, and bone, is visible.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Rackaw pulls on the rope Wettle is dangling from.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Please don't drop me God please don't drop me!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle is no longer dangling from the cliff, and safely on the sandy rock. He is surrounded by desert.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Quite a cliffhanger, huh?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Up yours, Racksaw.</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Awww, don't be an ungroovy dude! Cmon, we're just having some harmless fun.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I'm not! I'm sick of screaming in terror every time you want to make a scene.</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Well, that's not good.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> …why?</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Because we're about to enter a new segment on "Face! Your! Fear!"!</p>
<p><em>["Face! Your! Fear!" appears in flaming letters in the sky.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle groans.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No! None of this psychological warfare bullshit! I'm done with this!</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Well, I'm sorry to hear that. If you don't mind me asking, where are you gonna go?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Away from here.</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw stands in front of Dr. Wettle, blocking him from walking in any direction except for off of the cliff.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Damn it. Fine. Let's just get this over with. What kind of "fear" are you gonna have me face today?</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Well, your crippling fear of flying of course!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle laughs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I've flown tons of times, I'm not afraid of that!</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw laughs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Well, shoot! Maybe this segment'll be as smooth as butter for both of us!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Uh-huh.</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw begins walking offscreen. Wettle chases after him.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Wait, where are you going!</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Well, to the airport of course! Where else?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Where is it?</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Couple hundred miles west.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What?</p>
<p><em>[A clockwipe occurs, showing a new scene of Racksaw and Dr. Wettle travelling in the desert. Dr. Wettle has tied his lab coat around his forehead to absorb sweat. Racksaw is not sweating.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Is there any water?</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Oh, come on, Willie. There's a station just ahead!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Go home… wanna go home…</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle collapses against the ground. Racksaw rushes to his side.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Willie! What are you doing there?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Let me go or… let me die… No more.</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Willie, come on! It wouldn't be hardcore for us to kill you.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Let it end. Please. I'm tired.</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> We're almost there.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Not… moving.</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Fine. Have it your way, broseph.</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw picks Dr. Wettle up, slings him over his back, and carries him.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Put me down! <em>[Begins to flail.]</em> Put me down! Now!</p>
<p><em>[Another clockwipe, this time ending with Racksaw and Dr. Wettle entering a white building in the middle of the desert. Train tracks can be seen emerging from a platform next to the building.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> We're here!</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw throws Dr. Wettle onto the ground.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle</strong>: Where?</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> The train station!</p>
<p><em>[An old-fashioned steam train chugs into the station.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Voice:</strong> All aboard!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> A train? I thought we were doing a fear of flying thing.</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> We are! We just need an economical and environmentally friendly way to get there.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Why a train? Why not a car? Why'd we have to walk all this way?</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw looks directly into the camera, and speaks more seriously than before.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Because trains are a more fuel-efficient and altogether better form of transportation than cars. Taking the train, even if it is slightly more inconvenient, is almost always better for long trips than driving or flying. It's the hardcore thing to do.</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw looks back at Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Got it?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Yeah, yeah.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle and Racksaw get onto the train and sit down in their chairs. All of the other passengers are tied to their seats, with gags in their mouth.]</em></p>
<p><em>[In an exterior shot, the train metaphorphasizes into an airplane, speeds up, and takes off.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What? What was all that stuff about trains for then?</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Well, nowadays most people just end up taking a flight.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle puts his head in his palm.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> And the airport?</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> We're landing there!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Of course.</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw stands up and walks to the front of the plane.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Where are you going?</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Just checking the cockpit to make sure everything's groovy in there!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Fine, whatever.</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw disappears behind a curtain. The sound of metal straining emanates from the area.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle sighs.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle stands up, and pulls off the gag of one of the people behind him.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Alright. Let's get this over with. Who are you supposed to be?</p>
<p><strong>Unidentified Passenger:</strong> Who are you? Where are we? Please help me oh god I don't want to die please—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Would if I could. What are you doing here?</p>
<p><strong>Unidentified Passenger:</strong> I don't know. I woke up in a dark place, tied up, and they showed me a—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Don't need the whole story. You're a civilian. How long have you been here?</p>
<p><strong>Unidentified Passenger:</strong> Don't know… Six hours?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle puts the gag back on. The unidentified passenger screams, muffled.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Calm down. I've been here like, five days. But you're lucky, they'll let you go as soon as they're done with you.</p>
<p><em>[The plane lurches, and begins to decline in the air.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Racksaw bursts in from behind the curtain.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Willie! I took care of the pilots!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Dave, what the fuck did you do?</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> You're gonna face your fear, Willie! Time to fly the plane!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Come on, hurry up!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle stands up shaking. Racksaw grabs his shoulders and escorts him to the cockpit. Racksaw sits Dr. Wettle down, and puts the yoke in his hands. Racksaw sits in the co-pilot seat.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I don't know how to fly a—</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Never a better time to learn! Come on now!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle grabs the yoke and tries to level it. The plane shakes violently.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I— but I can't do this!</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw hits a button marked "Autopilot".]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Well, I'll give you a minute to settle in. But you'd better get familiar with that, 'cause we've got a hundred miles to go, and a hundred and forty passengers back there!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You… You're not serious? You're actually going to let them die if I crash?</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw laughs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> If you're so worried about them, better try not to crash!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> But, you don't kill people. You're a media company, you're not gonna kill a plane full of people!</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Keep telling yourself that if you want, won't change the result!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No, this is wrong. This is all wrong!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle grabs the sides of his head and closes his eyes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Willie, better grab the wheel again! Autopilot'll switch off in 10, 9, 8…</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle shakes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> There's got to be a way out… there's got to be a trick. They wouldn't let me die for this.</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> 7, 6, 5…</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Come on, you're smarter than this. They're not gonna let you die…</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> 4, 3, 2…</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> One!</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw switches off the autopilot. The plane begins to fall.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle stands up and walks out of the cockpit, stonefaced.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Willie, where are ya going?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle does not speak.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Willie?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle walks into the passenger area and stands at an emergency exit door.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Racksaw steps out of the cockpit.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Willie? What are you up to?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle opens the emergency exit door.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle is sucked out of the plane.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle falls, screaming.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Aw shit. Fuck. Damn!</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw pushes a pause button that appears in midair, and the plane stops crashing.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Racksaw jumps out of the plane and dives down towards Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Nice job Willie! You made it to the skydiving round! Now <em>that's</em> what I call hardcore!</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw throws a parachute pack at Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle closes his eyes and flails blindly. The parachute pack is knocked away. Dr. Wettle dives down faster.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Shit.</p>
<p><em>[Racksaw taps at his ear.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Racksaw:</strong> Jerry, we have a scenario G! I repeat, scenario G!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle stares at the ground. He closes his eyes and stops screaming.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The ground looms closer.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle crashes into the ground. As he lands, the ground tears apart like tissue paper, and he falls into a black void.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera cuts out to the inside of a warehouse, with a cube elevated off the ground. The cube has a hole in the bottom, which Dr. Wettle falls out of.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle lands on an air mat.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle screams and stands up.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera pans to an ajar door in the warehouse. Outside of the door is static.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle runs to the door.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Two humanoid figures wearing black tackle Dr. Wettle to the ground.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No. No! NO!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle begins to thrash, attempting to bite at the arms of the people holding him down.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I brought down the Chaos Insurgency! I can bring down you! I can bring down youu—</p>
<p><em>[The screen cuts to a different scene. This scene depicts Dr. Wettle sitting in the Site-43 cafeteria drinking a margherita. A subtitle on top of the screen reads "Emergency Alternate Wettle." Dr. Wettle wears a lanyard with a golden V as a logo, as opposed to the traditional Foundation logo. The implications of this are unknown.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle drops his margherita. The glass breaks, splattering the drink all over his shoes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Shit!</p>

<p><strong>Episode #:</strong> 4</p>
<p><strong>Title:</strong> Family Crisis</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> Dr. Wettle learns an important lesson.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The episode begins with a shot of Dr. Wettle lying unconscious in the background of a brightly lit room. The room is visibly originally colored white, but pastel blue and green have been crudely painted onto the walls and floor respectively, as if by a child.]</em></p>
<p><em>[<strong>Arcturus Haverfordshire</strong>, VP of Children's Entertainment, walks into the foreground. Haverfordshire is a purple felt puppet in a gold pinstripe suit, puppeted by 3 puppeteers wearing green fullbody suits. When Haverfordshire speaks, his voice sounds like a harmonizing chorus.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Hello children!</p>
<p><em>[A <strong>chorus</strong> of children's voices shout from off-camera.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong> Hello Arcturus!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Are you ready to make another wazz-bangtastic new friend?</p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong> Yes!</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire flails his body while making jubilant noises.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Now… if only I could find him. Have you kids seen a portly man in a filthy-gross lab coat?</p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong> Look behind you!</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire looks behind him, his head aimed up into the air.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Where?</p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong> On the floor!</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire looks down, sees Dr. Wettle and jumps in surprise]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Ah! There he is!</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire turns to face the camera, which zooms in to him and Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Now this, children, is Doctor William Wallace Wettle! He's a very silly man, and he seems to have overslept! Can you help me wake him up?</p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong> Yeah!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Fantabulatastic! Now, repeat after me: Wake up, Dr. Wettle!</p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong> Wake up, Dr. Wettle!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Hmmm… maybe a bit louder?</p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong> <em>[Louder.]</em> Wake up, Dr. Wettle!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> One more time!</p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong> <em>[Even louder.]</em> Wake up, Dr. Wettle!</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire pulls a bucket of water from offscreen and pours it on Dr. Wettle. Dr. Wettle shakes, sputters, and sits up, visibly confused.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> We did it!</p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong> Yay!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle looks around, scuttling back from Haverfordshire.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Who? What? Where? How?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Willie! Do you know what we're learning about today?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You! I know you! You're that puppet, Alex Hirsch or something!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> <em>[Laughs.]</em> Not even close! Arcturus Havorfordshire, presented to your service.</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire bows to Dr. Wettle and moves his felt hand as if to tip a nonexistent hat, stands up, then begins to sway from side to side as if dancing.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Whatever. Just get me the fuck out of there.</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire freezes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Excuse you, sir! There's no room for that kind of language on this show. This is Children's Entertainment, not a libertine whore-house!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Screw you, puppet man!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Come on now, Dr. Wettle, that's no way to treat a friend!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> We're not friends. I'm through playing your games. Take me home.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Our games? But why would you want to stop playing? Aren't you having fun?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Oh cut the family-friendly bullshit. I've seen your stuff before. Just drop the other shoe already so we can talk like adults.</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire's posture shifts, standing up straighter. His 'mouth' closes, and he stares at Dr. Wettle, lightly cocking his head.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> You've seen my shows before? Which one?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> The pies.</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire laughs. The chorus laughs with him.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Oh! That was a good one.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Look. I don't want to be here, I don't want to marry you or whatever, and I'm not gonna let myself be tortured for your entertainment. If I broke out once before, I can do it again.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> But Willie, why would you want to break out? The episode's not over yet, and we have a surprise for you.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I don't care.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> I think you'll care about this one! Now come on, your surprise is this way!</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire walks off stage right.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I'm not walking anywhere unless it leads me home.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> <em>[From offscreen.]</em> Have it your way!</p>
<p><em>[While the camera remains in place, Dr. Wettle begins involuntarily leaning to stage left.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Oh god.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle begins sliding across the ground. Presumably, gravity is changing, and Dr. Wettle is falling to the next scene. He screams.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle crashes through a wooden door and slams into a desk covered in metal implements.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire reaches a hand down and taps Dr. Wettle's head.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Come on now! We're in my inventabulory laboratory!</p>
<p><em>[The laboratory is a warehouse-sized room with piping everywhere. Dr. Wettle and Haverfordshire stand behind a pair of wooden desks with miscellaneous metal implements and tools on them.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Ahhhh! Ow! What even is this place?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> It's where I inventabulize new thingamajigs!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Right. What's that then?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle points at a large hole in the floor with whirring, spiked wheels and rollers, situated just in front of the desk.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> That's the disposal tube! It's where I put my bad ideas.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You know what? I don't actually care. Why did you bring me here anyways? What's the "surprise" you mentioned? Is it my evil doppelganger? My future gravestone? My PIN number?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Nope!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Then what?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> <em>[To offscreen.]</em> Winifred, come on out!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Who's tha—</p>
<p><em>[A young girl, <strong>Winifred</strong>, steps out from behind a piece of machinery. She is about 6 years old, overweight, with brown hair and round glasses. She bears a significant familial resemblance to Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Upon seeing Winifred, Dr. Wettle stops speaking. He turns and glares intensely at Haverfordshire.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Willie, meet Winifred Wanda Wettle!</p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> Hi. They said you're my dad?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> This is fucked up. Even for <em>you</em>, this is fucked up. How did you even… Where the hell do you even get off!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Oh don't worry, nothing like that. <em>Technimechically</em> she's a clone made from some of your cells we harvested about six years ago. We've been growing and raising her ever since, and now it's time for you two to meet!</p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Why? What the fuck is WRONG with you?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Well, what kind of spouse would we be if we didn't give you a child? VKTM takes traditional family dynamics between a man and a corporation very seriously.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle shakes his head. He turns to stare at Winifred.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> They said you'd be happy to see me, dad. Is there something wrong with me?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Of course not, Winnie. Your father is just a grumpyguss. Give him time.</p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> Okay. Thanks, Uncle Arky.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You can't do this. You cannot do this. This is… <em>beyond</em> your level of fucked up.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> What's so wrong about bringing life into this wonderful world?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You know why I'm upset.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Hmm. Alright then. You know, Willie, I knew you might not take it well, but I didn't think you'd take it <em>this</em> badly.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> In what world would I take this well?!</p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> Dad?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> You know, maybe you're right. Winnie here might have been a bad idea after all.</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire turns to look at Winifred, who is distracted by staring at Dr. Wettle. Dr. Wettle looks between them both for a moment, then to the pit in front of the desks. His face contorts in horror.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle runs at Haverfordshire, whose puppeteers pick up Winifred. One of these puppeteers kicks Dr. Wettle back, while the other two hold Winifred in the air.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Winifred begins to cry.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> Dad!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You won't do this.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle pulls himself up onto one of the desks and reaches around amongst the tools.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> What? I thought you didn't want her.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You made your point! Stop!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> And why should I?</p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> Uncle Arky, is this because dad didn't like me? I promise I can do better!</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire gently pats Winifred's head and shushes reassuringly.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle grabs a sharp tool from the desk and holds it against his jugular.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Kill her, you kill me too.</p>
<p><em>[Winifred covers her eyes with her hands and attempts to bury her head between her shoulders.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire laughs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> You're serious?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Try me. I know you won't let me die.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> You don't know anything, Wettle. The good thing is that there's a lesson to learn here.</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire walks to the edge of the pit.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I'm warning you! I'll do it!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Are you listening, kids?</p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong> Yeah!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> When you're in a tense, life-or-death situation, taking <em>yourself</em> hostage is always the wrong move!</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire throws Winifred into the pit.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Winifred screams.]</em></p>
<p><em>[There is a loud whirring sound.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A red liquid spurts out of the pit like a fountain. Flecks of it stain Haverfordshire's felt, while much of it crashes against Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle screams.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Do it, Willie! Stab yourself in your juguthroat like you said. Lying is wrong, honesty is the bestest policy!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle drops the tool and scampers back, pressing himself against the wall. He does not stop screaming.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Coward. Not so easy, is it? Besides, did you really think we'd let you get away with something like that?</p>
<p><em>[The walls begin to close in, pushing Dr. Wettle closer and closer to Arcturus.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> You caught us off guard before. Good job! You have my sincere congradusalutations. But did you really think we'd be <em>stupid</em> enough to let you try again?</p>
<p><em>[The chorus laughs.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle screams. He is in a heap of tools and machinery, inching towards Haverfordshire and the pit.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Fuck you!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Language, Willie! There are children watching.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You killed my— You killed a child! You just murdered a child!</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Yeah, I know, it's sad, isn't it. You know, killing her wasn't part of the original plan. But <em>someone</em> had to decapicut you down to size. You just don't seem to understand the situation you're in.</p>
<p><em>[The heap Dr. Wettle is on is spilling slowly into the pit, being ground and destroyed. Dr. Wettle climbs up the heap slowly, trying desperately not to fall in himself. Wires pull Haverfordshire and his puppeteers into the air, such that the puppet is at eye level with Wettle, suspended above the pit.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> We control everything here. The horizontal, the vertical, the depth, the ana and kata.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle screams as he begins to slip, about to fall into the pit.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> You control NOTHING. Don't be so rude to us, you grumpyguss. Because if you truly weren't able to be entertaining to us, to provide us with content? If you kept causing more problems than you were worth? Then maybe we'd determine this whole project was a bad idea.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle falls into the pit, desperately reaching for Haverfordshire as he shrieks.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire giggles.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The episode ends.]</em></p>

<p><strong>Episode #:</strong> 5</p>
<p><strong>Title:</strong> Lone Shark</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> Dr. Wettle makes a deal.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The episode begins with Dr. Wettle sitting on a linoleum floor in an infinite beige hallway. There is a pair of large wooden double doors on the wall, with the number "234.6a" engraved above the doorway.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle is visibly disturbed, crossing his arms as his eyes dart around.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A voice comes out of an intercom belonging to <strong>Fionn Sharke</strong>, VP of LEGAL. Dr. Wettle jerks, startled.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Good afternoon, Dr. Wettle. My name is Fionn Sharke Esq. In the interest of not frightening you with my appearance, I would like to inform you ahead of time that I am a great white shark. Do you understand?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle grimaces and nods slowly.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Excellent. I am going to come out of my office. Do not be alarmed.</p>
<p><em>[The doorknob turns, and Sharke exits his office. He inhabits a large glass tank manipulated through spider-esque robotic tendrils on each corner. Sharke sets his tank down as Dr. Wettle scampers back.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> So, what's this? You going to bite my dick off or something?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> I assure you, doctor, I have no interest in eating you. I'm here to discuss legal matters regarding your marriage to Vikander-Kneed.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Fuck off.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Dr. Wettle. I am here to help.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No. No you aren't. You're here to torture me in some "funny" way to get your sick kicks. Well, fuck you! I'm tired of you all hurting me for your entertainment.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> You're right, doctor.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> You have been hurt. I acknowledge that. I want to help you, and put you in a position where you are not hurt in the future.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Oh come on. What are you even gonna do? Make me think I escaped again, then yank the chain back? Again?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> I'm going to help you.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Why?</p>
<p><em>[Sharke sighs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Do you know how I protect Vikander-Kneed from lawsuits? Believe me, it's not an easy job.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I don't know. Eating people who sue you?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Only once, and that was a trial by battle. No, what I prefer to do is negotiate.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> How do you negotiate in a trial by battle?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Negotiate it to be underwater.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I… huh. So, that's what you're gonna do? Somehow talk me into marrying you? 'Cause the answer is no. No now, no forever.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Will you at least listen to me?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Fuck. No. I saw your company murder a child! I'm not agreeing to anything.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Yes… I am truly sorry about your time with Arcturus. He can be a bit vicious, especially to adults.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> And kids too. He threw her in a grinder!</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> No, he didn't.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> More gaslighting?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> No. I know that you saw her thrown into there. What you saw was wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> And how do you know?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Because the amount of paperwork that would require would be staggering. We have a lengthy approval process when it comes to murder, especially of innocents. The karmic debt we would incur — I shudder to think.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> But I saw her die!</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> It's a television show, doctor. And we pay our practical effects team well.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I don't believe you.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Why not? The Anomalous International Alliance of Special Effects Workers is a powerful union.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Not that! You're lying to me. Trying to make me not trust what I see and hear, so you can control me better!</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Doctor, it's not my job to lie to you. If you don't trust me, I suppose I could just give up turn you over to the next host. But we're going to need to go through this eventually. All that you would be doing is prolonging your stay here.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> And you think that I should trust you? So that you can "help" me?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> I do.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Whatever.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Well, when you're ready, come in and we'll talk it over.</p>
<p><em>[Sharke flips the tank in one elegant motion, leaving his doors open. Dr. Wettle stays behind.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle sits on the floor muttering. He tries to walk down the hallway, only to end up back in front of office 234.6a.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle groans and enters Sharke's office, slamming the doors behind him.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera cuts to the pair in a well-decorated office with a window on the wall, through which can be seen a city with architecture of an unknown style.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle sits down in a leather chair in front of the desk and huffs. Sharke is behind the desk, manipulating piles of paper with his many tendrils.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Alright, you got me. So, what is this. Who are you?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> I am the vice-president of the—</p>
<p><em>[Sharke pauses in consideration for a moment.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Lawsuit Evasion and Genuine Advice regarding the Law… department.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Ah. LEGAL for short?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> And you're a shark?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Yes. Great White.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You know, there's an old joke—</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> I am aware.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> So, is that why you're a shark? They make you one when you get this job?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> No, I was born this way. I had a foot in the door after working as a consultant back when Shark Week was relevant, then worked my way up the ladder.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> More like swam your way up—</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Don't. I've heard them all.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Fine, fine. So, why should I trust you?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Do you have a choice?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Wonderful. Tell me, before we begin, do you have any questions?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Yes. This program, this whole wedding… thing. What's the point of it? I've seen a lot of conflicting stuff, and it doesn't really point to anything.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> It's television. Is it supposed to mean anything?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> But you're satirists, right? What's being satirized?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> I don't know where you got the idea that our products are in any way satirical. Maybe you're reading too much into some of them?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Right, don't know what I expected. How do I get out of here?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> You'll get to go home after the finale. The wedding.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Right. Except I don't want to marry you. And it's really creepy that you kidnapped me to do that.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Yes, I realized that too. But I have a solution I think we can both get behind.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What kind of solution could possibly make me want to marry you?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Well, it occurred to me that legally marrying you could be a simple matter, if you comply. See, given the precedent of Gretchen v. Faust, when an anomalous being or force connected to a primality other than love weds a non-anomalous being, the non-anomalous being may request that the marriage be treated like any other pact between an anomalous being and non-anomalous being. That gives us a lot more leeway to determine what a marriage between VKTM and you would actually mean.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Huh?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> It wouldn't be an actual marriage. We would <em>call</em> it a marriage, but it would be more like making a… pact with a higher power. And I am willing to give you a very generous contract.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Generous how?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Vikander-Kneed has a lot of things it could give you in exchange for you agreeing to "marry" it.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Like what?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> You won't be disappointed. Would you like me to start drafting the contract, or would you like me to pass you to the next host?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle stops and thinks for a moment. He paces around the room.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Take your time, please. I understand it can't be an easy decision. If you don't want to go through with it, I imagine we can find another finale more suited to your desires.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle looks out of the window. After 46 seconds, he turns back around, suffering a nosebleed and shuddering. He takes a moment to collect himself.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> …fine. I'll give it a look.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle sits back down in the chair and raises his eyebrow at Sharke.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> So, sell me. What can you actually offer me to make me go along with this nonsense?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Immortality?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Pass.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> May I ask why? I assure you, this is the good kind of immortality, not the fate worse than death kind.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> With my luck, I'll become immortal someday anyways. But I'd rather get to the point where people see me as a grumpy old man instead of a middle-aged loser.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> I understand. Hmm. Another traditional boon is magical powers?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle breaks into an intense laughing fit.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle</strong>: And spend the rest of my life under intense Foundation surveillance <em>at best</em>? Hell no.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Understood. Money?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> The Foundation'd take it the day I get back.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Perhaps, doctor, it would make it easier if you told me what you want?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Honestly? I want y'all to leave me alone. I've been kidnapped by you all at least six times in the past six months.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Seven.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No, including this one, it's six. There were those campaign ads, that one time I was an extra, the self-help video… and this.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> We also took you in the night once to film a commercial about a pill that gives you nightmares. You slept through the whole thing.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle buries his face in his hands and sighs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> See, this is what I mean. Stop using me as your stand-in for an idiot off the street. If we're going to do this—</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> So you are considering my offer?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>If we're going to do this</em>, y'all need to actually start respecting my boundaries. My life is screwed up enough without your mischief getting me into more trouble.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> So, you would want to be left out of future VKTM projects?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Yes. No more being dragged into the TV, no more filming me singing in the shower and making a music video, no more sending me spam emails then trapping me in a seminar.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Alright. I can't promise a complete cessation, but how about a significant reduction?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> And the rest of my Site.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> What?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Site-43. All of us. Leave us alone.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Doctor, Site-43 is the Foundation site with the most researchers looking into us. I can't just—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Take it or leave it. Stay out of our lives, or I won't do what you want.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> …let me make some calls.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle nods curtly and crosses his arms. Sharke's tendrils pull a black object from a cord into his tank.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The clock on the wall goes from 34:15 to 34:50]</em></p>
<p><em>[Sharke bites the black object, which is quickly yanked into the ceiling.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Well?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> I cannot promise that Vikander-Kneed will stay out of the lives of everyone at Site-43 in perpetuity. However, what I can promise is that VKTM will cease non-consensual abduction of people from Site-43, and not publish footage depicting private areas of Site-43. Now, do we have a deal?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Is there any room to negotiate? Say, get you to leave me alone forever?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> I'm afraid I've done as much as I can. Are our terms acceptable?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Not quite. I want it in writing that when we do this whole "wedding" thing, I can leave whenever I want after. No epilogue episode, no post-credits scenes, no cliffhangers leading into a second season. I am <em>done</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> I can write that in, sure.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Then I guess we have a deal.</p>
<p><em>[Sharke grins widely, his rows of teeth showing.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Wonderful. If you will just sign here, please.</p>
<p><em>[Sharke places a contract in front of Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> How long until I go home after I sign this?</p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> It's not up to me.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Alright. Fine.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle picks the contract up, doesn't read it, and signs his name. Sharke stares at him incredulously.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Sharke:</strong> Why didn't you read the contract? There could have been anything in the fine print.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Oh. <em>Fuck</em>.</p>
<p><em>[The contract begins to float in the air. The letters written on it glow gold.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Shit! Shit! Fuck! Shit! Damn! No!</p>
<p><em>[The golden light overwhelms the room.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Can I go back and read it this time?</p>
<p><em>[The screen is completely gold.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle gasps for air.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The episode ends.]</em></p>

<p><strong>Episode #:</strong> 6</p>
<p><strong>Title:</strong> Set Dressing</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> Dr. Wettle makes some preparations.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The episode opens with Dr. Wettle sleeping in a dark room made of stone bricks. His hands are shackled together, the chain connecting to the wall behind him.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Light floods in from off-camera. <strong>Cassandra Crawford</strong>, VP of Set Design, walks into the room. Crawford is a completely monochrome woman, with a static haze emanating from her body. Her voice sounds inappropriately tinny for the recording equipment. She holds a large metal oar.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> <em>[Singing, under her breath.]</em> Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye. Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a—</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle groans and stirs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Oh, hey Willie! So that's where you went off to.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You threw me in here!</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Well, <em>sorry</em>. I was busy at the time.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Yeah, sure. So, what's next? Can we do this wedding already?</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Not quite!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> But the contract says—</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Come on, Willie. How can we have a wedding without any planning?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle sighs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> So that's how it is.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> It'll be fun!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No it won't. I've planned a wedding before, and it was the furthest thing from <em>fun</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Well, then I have some bad news. Weeks ago, the date was irretrivably saved… to Valentine's Day!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle</strong>: How many days away is that? I lost track back in episode three.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> It's tomorrow! Oh, the drama!</p>
<p><em>[Crawford turns her head directly to the camera and adopts a dramatic "shocked" face. Dr. Wettle rolls his eyes. Crawford turns back to him and takes out her oar.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Now come on, time's awasting! We need to pick a venue!</p>
<p><em>[Crawford swings her oar into the ground. The stone bricks of the dungeon fly away into a starry black void. Dr. Wettle's body is suspended in midair, as if he is drifting in space. Crawford does not move.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[Screaming.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Oh, pipe down, you're perfectly safe. Now, what's first?</p>
<p><em>[Crawford strikes at the void with her oar. A cathedral materializes around the pair. Gravity asserts itself on Dr. Wettle again, as he falls onto the stone floor on his back.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Hmmm. Well, the aura of fear isn't bad, but the sense of reverence may be a bit off-brand… What do you think, Willie?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Ow! Fuck! What was that?</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Oh, I'm just making some changes to the scenery. Do you like them?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Eh.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Eh? Well, that simply won't do. We have to find a perfect venue!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Why? It's not like it's gonna be a real wedding.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Hey!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What? It's <em>not</em>. You can make me go through with the ceremony, you can't make me pretend this marriage is anything but a sham. I hate you, and you all <em>clearly</em> have an issue with me.</p>
<p><em>[Crawford rolls her eyes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Come on, man, at least play along.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Why should I? I never asked to be here in the first place.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Well, if you're not gonna even bother to entertain this place, maybe we can try our next venue.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Sure, sure, let's go.</p>
<p><em>[Crawford slams her oar into the ground, which morphs into an outdoor scene in front of the steps to a large marble temple. Dr. Wettle is pulled a few feet above the top of the temple steps by an unknown force.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Oh, you bitch!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle falls down the stairs. He crashes into the ground face-first in a heap.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Ow!</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> What? Something wrong?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I landed on my glasses.</p>
<p><em>[Crawford's face falls.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Oh no! Are they broken?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle feels around and picks up his mangled glasses.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Yeah, they're broken.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Drat! I'm sorry. What prescription are you? We could swing by Wardrobe and get them replaced.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No, it's fine, I'll mana—</p>
<p><em>[Crawford swings her oar back, trained on Dr. Wettle. Dr. Wettle sees her and lifts his arm up to protect himself. As her oar makes contact with his chest, the image freezes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No! Sto-o-o-o-ooo-oooooooooo</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle's pleas become more and more distorted as they fade into nothingness. The screen turns black.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A picture of Dr. Wettle, taken in 2015, appears onscreen, labelled "Subject 1."]</em></p>
<p><em>[The picture fades, and is replaced with an image of a man with a forehead peeling down his face, revealing his skull.]</em></p>
<p><em>["Clair de Lune" by Claude Debussy starts playing.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A bonesaw appears next to the man with the peeling face.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A photograph of Dr. Wettle taken in 2006 replaces the images onscreen. The image depicts Dr. Wettle spilling a can of beans on his lab coat during a lunch break.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The bonesaw appears in the picture, badly photoshopped in the window. The image bursts into static, and the bonesaw appears now above Dr. Wettle's head, held by a black hand with long, spindly fingers.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The sound of a saw against wood plays as the screen goes black.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A photograph of the man with the peeling face appears. In this one, he holds a needle between his teeth.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The image of the man fades, but the needle remains.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A picture of Dr. Wettle taken on Site-43 in 2019 fades in, with his throat where the needle is.]</em></p>
<p><em>[As if drawn by hand, black and red lines begin to spurt out of the needle and cover his body beneath his neck.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The pictures of Dr. Wettle and the needle fades out, and a video of a sewing needle repeatedly stabbing a large carton of bleach fades in.]</em></p>
<p><em>[This video plays uninterrupted for 30 seconds. Dr. Wettle's screaming can be heard in the blackground during this time.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The video fades out, but the screaming continues for another 5 seconds.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The man with the peeling face fades in, this time holding a pickaxe.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The image of the man fades, and an image of Wettle as a child appears.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The screen immediately cuts to black and the music stops. There is a loud scream, presumably that of a child.]</em></p>
<p><em>[An image fades in of Dr. Wettle with unbroken glasses, giving a thumbs up, wearing a white tuxedo with the Site-43 logo embroidered into the right breast. This image has no known source.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The words "Another successful costuming!" appear on the top of the screen.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Applause rings in the background as the "The Price is Right" theme plays.]</em></p>
<p><em>[After 45 seconds, the music stops, and the camera cuts to a video image of Dr. Wettle standing in a white void as before next to Cassandra Crawford. He is in the same position and outfit as in the previous image.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle collapses onto the ground and hyperventilates.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Hey, nice suit! They sure fixed you up good, Willie.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle curls up into a ball and mutters something incomprehensible.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Ah, right.</p>
<p><em>[Crawford gingerly prods Dr. Wettle with the back of her oar. After a couple pokes, Dr. Wettle flails and screams.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> You feeling okay?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Yecch! I'm fine! I'm fine!</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Hmm. If you say so.</p>
<p><em>[Crawford freezes and beams.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Willie! I think I just remembered the perfect venue! Do you wanna check it out?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Huh? Yeah, whatever.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Great!</p>
<p><em>[Crawford swings her oar into the ground. The scenery shatters to reveal a large greenroom with studio lights hanging from the ceiling.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Hmm. I guess it works.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Great!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> So, is that it?</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Almost! All that's left is catering, seating, decorations, invitations—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Invitations? Who else is coming here?</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Well, your friends and family, of course!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Huh?</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Let's see here…</p>
<p><em>[Crawford pulls out a long scroll.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Most of the Site-43 staff, your parents, some of the folks in Threshold<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>— what happened with that, anyway?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> How many people is that?</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> About 68. Why?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Have you taken them yet?</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Heavens, no! We have to make the invitations together first.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I don't want anyone else getting… I don't want them here.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Oh, come on, Willie. What's a wedding without your loved ones to suffer alongside you?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Well I just—</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> I mean, you're not <em>ashamed</em> of us, are you?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Don't interru—</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> So it's decided then!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No!</p>
<p><em>[Crawford stares at Wettle and raises her eyebrows. Dr. Wettle shakes and shrinks a bit.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> No?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle takes a moment to think.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No. We shouldn't invite them.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> And why is that?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Because they… wouldn't understand us. Think about it. An American man marrying a… media corporation like yourself. My family wouldn't get our relationship. And my colleagues? They're paid to… to stop your products! They wouldn't approve of us either. I don't want to deal with that fighting on… on our special day!</p>
<p><em>[Crawford takes a step back. She bites her lip and thinks for a moment. Leaning over to Wettle, she smirks.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Cassandra:</strong> Well played.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle shirks back a bit. Crawford claps her hands loudly.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Right! Well, we still have decorations. Now, I was thinking—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Do whatever you want. I trust you.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Huh?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You're a media company. I trust you to make a good-looking set. I don't see any reason for me to get involved. I'll just get in the way.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Hrm.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I'm a tasteless loser. I'll own up to it. You're the VP of Set Design. Surely you'd be better at decorating without some classless jerk watching over your shoulder.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Willie, that makes so much sense.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle smirks.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> You're taking the fun out of this.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Well, fuck you too.</p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> If you're gonna be that way, I guess there's nothing else I can do!</p>
<p><em>[Crawford tilts her head to the side and grins.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle sighs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Just do what you're gonna do.</p>
<p><em>[Crawford nods and gently taps her oar against the ground.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Well, all that's left is some prop comedy.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle braces himself. Five seconds pass.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Wait, what do you mean "prop com—"</p>
<p><em>[A grand piano falls, crashing inches in front of Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> JESUS FUCK!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle steps back and slips on a banana peel. He lands on his head, knocking himself unconscious.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Crawford chuckles. She grabs her oar and swirls it on the ground. The scenery morphs into a fancy hotel bedroom, with Dr. Wettle tucked in under the blankets.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Crawford:</strong> Goodnight, Willie!</p>
<p><em>[Crawford blows a kiss as she walks offscreen.]</em></p>
<p><em>[As she leaves, a black face with glowing white eyes presses itself against the window. This entity watches Dr. Wettle as he sleeps.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The episode ends.]</em></p>

<p><strong>Episode #:</strong> 7</p>
<p><strong>Title:</strong> The Wondrous Wedding (Part 1)</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> Dr. Wettle arrives at the ceremony.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The episode opens with a shot of a panicked Dr. Wettle wearing a white tuxedo covered in blood. He is bound to a wall with leather straps.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Wheh? What? What???</p>
<p><em>[A subtitle appears under Dr. Wettle reading "William Wettle: SCP Researcher."]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[Screaming.]</em> You said I was done! You <em>[chicken clucking]</em>ers! You said I was done!</p>
<p><em>[An indistinct voice whispers something.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Confessional? The <em>[donkey bray]</em> do you mean, <em>confessional</em>?</p>
<p><em>[The voice murmurs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Alright, alright! Fine. So, I guess you want me to start in the morning?</p>
<p><em>[The image cuts to Dr. Wettle waking up in the bed from last episode. The confessional continues as a voice-over. For the rest of the transcript, when a person speaks in a confessional, this transcript will mark them as such.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Confessional Wettle:</strong> I'd just woke up from a bad dream, and I didn't know where I was. It was the first good night's sleep I'd gotten since you sent me here.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle stretches as he gazes around the room. Looking out the window, he sees the bone-white sky and gnarled trees outside. He groans.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Confessional Wettle:</strong> I knew what today was, and I didn't want to go anywhere.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle sits down on his bed and buries his face in his hands.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Confessional Wettle:</strong> But there's no escape. Y'all made that <em>very</em> clear.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle's mattress collapses beneath him as it and him fall into a sinkhole formed in his bed.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle screams as he falls into blackness. There is a loud thump.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A spotlight turns on, revealing Dr. Wettle to have landed on his mattress. Jaunty organ music begins to play.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle stands up.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Alright, who's there?</p>
<p><em>[Another spotlight turns on, revealing a man with a handlebar mustache playing a crank street organ.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> And who are you supposed to be? VP of Sound Effects? Host of some American Idol parody?</p>
<p><em>[The organ grinder does not react.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Bah!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle sits on the bed as the music continues, glaring angrily at the organ grinder.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Confessional Wettle:</strong> I'm so sick of all of you.</p>
<p><em>[After two minutes and thirty seconds, the song ends, and the spotlights turn off.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle suddenly appears standing at a podium in the greenroom shown last episode. In front of the podium is a long table bisecting the room, with an estimated 42 people sitting at it. The room itself has been decorated with various taboo and heretical religious imagery. Among the people sitting at the table are several known VKTM employees. At the other end of the room stands the organ grinder.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Wah! Jesus <em>[dog barking]</em>!</p>
<p><em>[The people sitting at the table applaud.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera zooms in on <strong>Jeremy Kincaid</strong>, a <a href="/scp-7007">known VKTM employee</a> with eyes that weep a black ichor.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Kincaid:</strong> Woo! Yeah!</p>
<p><em>[Kincaid looks around, confused.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera cuts to Kincaid tied to the same wall Dr. Wettle is shown tied to in confessional. A subtitle appears at the bottom of the screen identifying him as "Jeremy Kincaid: Cultist of Personality."]</em></p>
<p><strong>Confessional Kincaid:</strong> I thought we were marrying Lillihammer. Who the <em>[cows moo]</em> is this loser?</p>
<p><em>[The camera cuts to Marian MacPhaerson walking towards Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> And now, a man who needs no introduction, our fiancé!</p>
<p><em>[The camera quickly cuts to MacPhaerson tied to the confessional wall, her subtitle identifying her as "Mari MacPhaerson: VP of Public Relations."]</em></p>
<p><strong>Confessional MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, Willie's great. I mean sure, he's an unpleasant, incompetent loser working for a fascist shadow government, but our target demographic just <em>loves</em> that kind of thing. Don't ask me why.</p>
<p><em>[The camera cuts back to MacPhaerson and Dr. Wettle standing together at the podium. He is sulking.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Today is the day we've been waiting for! Our company will join this man in holy matrimony, deity depending! It is a day to celebrate! For Fun<sup>TM</sup>! Games<sup>TM</sup>! Media<sup>TM</sup>!</p>
<p><em>[The table cheers. The camera zooms into Fionn Sharke, who is looking at Dr. Wettle silently.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera cuts to Fionn Sharke, his mechanical tendrils tied to the confessional wall. His subtitle reads "Fionn Sharke: VP of Lawsuit Evasion and Genuine Advice regarding the Law."]</em></p>
<p><strong>Confessional Sharke:</strong> He seems to be going along with it. Good. As long as he says "I do", we can all get out of here getting what we want. I mean, not him. But still.</p>
<p><em>[The camera returns to the ceremony. Dr. Wettle grimaces as he stares down the table.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Confessional Wettle:</strong> It was awful. Everyone was waiting to laugh at me, I was stuck as the center of attention, and that box guy in the back kept staring at me.</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson turns to look at Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Come on, Willie, it's our special day. Smile<sup>TM</sup>, you're on TV!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle gives a pained grin. He awkwardly waves at the table.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The table cheers. The organ grinder begins a triumphant song.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera cuts to Dave Racksaw tied to the confessional wall. His loose skin hangs floppily at his side.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Confessional Racksaw:</strong> After the incident, I did a motorcycle jump over a volcano with a ramp made of thin ice as penance, and totally crushed it! Now I'm back on top, and more hardcore than ever before. And there's nothing more hardcore than marriage! Just ask my wife!</p>
<p><em>[The camera returns to the table.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> And now, our Wonderful Wedding official, Mr. Albee!</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson gestures at a door on the side of the room.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Five seconds pass.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Mr. Albee?</p>
<p><em>[Nine seconds pass.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh come on, don't <em>[horses neigh]</em> me like this, today of all days. <em>[Screaming.]</em> Mr. Albee!</p>
<p><em>[The door opens. Walking through the doorway is a gray, moose-like creature with three television screens for a head. This is <strong>Mr. Albee</strong>, a <a href="/scp-6123">known VKTM employee</a>. Currently, Mr. Albee's screens depict a series of photographs and videos taken from Dr. Wettle's previous weddings.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> MY MOST SINCERE APOLOGIES. I OVERESTIMATED THE DRAMATIC TENSION OF MY ENTRANCE. GOOD MORNING, ALL.</p>
<p><em>[Several of the employees at the table say "good morning" to Mr. Albee.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well, better late then never, I guess. Come on up here!</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson gestures to the podium.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The organ grinder plays a wedding march.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Oh god.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Willie, there is no god in here. I thought you'd have learnt that by now.</p>
<p><em>[Mr. Albee climbs onto the podium and stands behind Dr. Wettle. MacPhaerson steps off the podium and sits at the table.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> LOVE. SHALL WE TALK ABOUT LOVE?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Uh oh.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> UH OH IS RIGHT, GOOD DOCTOR! LOVE IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS FORCES ON THE PLANET.</p>
<p><em>[Mr. Albee's screens begin to depict people hugging, holding hands, and kissing, interspersed with images of Dr. Wettle sitting alone.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> THERE ARE SOME OUT THERE WHO THINK THAT LOVE IS A RIGHTEOUS EMOTION, A PARAGON. THESE PEOPLE ARE WRONG. LOVE IS, AS ALL EMOTIONS ARE, A REACTION TO STIMULI. LOVE IS A SIDE EFFECT OF INSTINCTUAL ATTACHMENT TO ANOTHER BEING OR OBJECT, AND LOVE WIELDS A POWER OVER PEOPLE LIKE NO OTHER EMOTION. DESPITE THIS, UNLIKE WEAKER EMOTIONS LIKE WRATH OR ENVY, WE AS A SOCIETY PUT LOVE ON A PEDASTAL.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> LOVE IS PATIENT, LYING IN WAIT LIKE A TIGER. LOVE IS KIND, IT RELEASES ENDORPHINS TO GET YOU ADDICTED TO IT. IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD. LOVE IS WILLING TO THROW ITSELF UNDER THE BUS IN A MOMENT'S NOTICE FOR A SINGLE MOMENT OF RELEASE. IT DOES NOT DISHONOR, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. LOVE IS MOTIVATED BY PASSION ALONE, BY CHAOS. LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. THE TRUTH THAT IT TELLS YOU, TO CONVINCE YOU TO LOSE YOUR OTHER SENSES. IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUSTS, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERES. NOTHING CAN STOP LOVE.</p>
<p><em>[Mr. Albee's screens turn to images of Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> DOCTOR WILLIAM WALLACE WETTLE, TO YOU WE GIVE THIS GIFT: A LOVELESS MARRIAGE. A PARTNERSHIP, MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL, WITHOUT LOVE TO PUT US AT RISK. A PRACTIAL SOLUTION TO A NEW, FRIGHTENING AGE.</p>
<p><em>[Mr. Albee bows his head. The table applauds.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> I WOULD SUGGEST WE DO OUR VOWS, NOW, BUT WE ALREADY HASHED THEM OUT ON A CONTRACT, LIKE THE POWER COUPLE WE ARE.</p>
<p><em>[Fionn Sharke stands up and moves his tendrils in a way resembling a bow. A bit of water spills out of his tank as he does so.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> DOES ANYONE HAVE THE RINGS?</p>
<p><em>[The organ grinder stops playing. He holds out two beryllium rings and drops one on his organ's crank. A VKTM employee grabs the ring, handing it to the next person, who passes it along until it reaches the end of the table. Mr. Albee grabs the ring and passes it to Dr. Wettle next to him.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> NOW, IF ANYONE HAS A REASON FOR THIS MAN AND THIS COMPANY TO NOT BE MARRIED, SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle looks around the table.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle raises his eyebrow.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Seven seconds pass.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> WELL—</p>
<p><em>[The door from earlier slams open. Behind it is Charlie Fiero, the top half of his face obscured by the doorway.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> I object!</p>
<p><em>[For the next thirty seconds, the camera quickly cuts between shots of different people looking astounded at Fiero's arrival. Mr. Albee's screens turn into bright red exclamation points.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A dramatic stinger plays.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The sequence ends with a shot of Dr. Wettle rolling his eyes. The words "To Be Continued" appear at the bottom of the screen.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The episode ends.]</em></p>

<p><strong>Episode #:</strong> 8</p>
<p><strong>Title:</strong> The Wondrous Wedding (Part 2)</p>
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> Dr. Wettle says his goodbyes.</p>
<hr/>
<p><em>[The episode begins with a dark screen. A voice speaks, identified as <strong>Mindy Wettle</strong>, Dr. Wettle's mother.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mindy Wettle:</strong> Previously, on the Wondrous Wedding of William Wallace Wettle.</p>
<p><em>[The camera cuts to a series of shots from throughout the previous seven episodes, with a clear preference for moments in which Dr. Wettle indicates physical or mental stress.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The sequence ends with Charlie Fiero opening the door to the wedding.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> I object!</p>
<p><em>[Several VKTM employees gasp.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Cassandra Crawford faints and falls out of her seat.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera returns. Dr. Wettle is staring at Fiero, raising his eyebrow.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Really?</p>
<p><em>[Fiero chuckles.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Fiero:</strong> Nah, I'm just <em>[frog ribbiting]</em> with you all.</p>
<p><em>[Fiero shuts the door and leaves.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The VKTM employees politely clap. Dr. Wettle huffs in frustration.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Mr. Albee coughs for eight seconds.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> PARDON ME, JUST CLEARING MY THROAT. ANY OTHER OBJECTIONS?</p>
<p><em>[No one speaks. Dr. Wettle bites his lip.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> ALRIGHT THEN. WILLIAM WETTLE, DO YOU TAKE VIKANDER-KNEED TECHNICAL MEDIA TO BE YOUR LAWFULLY WEDDED SPOUSE? TO KNOW AND TO FEAR, IN SICKNESS OR IN HEALTH, WHATEVER CREVASSE YOU MAY HIDE IN?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> …I guess.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> AND DO YOU, VIKANDER-KNEED TECHINCAL MEDIA, TAKE THIS MAN TO BE YOUR HUSBAND?</p>
<p><em>[Nothing happens for five seconds. Mr. Albee nods.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Mr. Albee:</strong> THEN BY THE POWER INVESTED IN ME BY JESTER'S PRIVILEGE, I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU MAN AND BRAND.</p>
<p><em>[The organ grinder begins to play triumphant music. The VKTM employees stand and cheer. Dr. Wettle scowls.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> There, I did it. Can I go now?</p>
<p><em>[Marian MacPhaerson gestures at an empty seat next to her.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Soon. First, eat with us!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle harumphs and sits down next to MacPhaerson.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The table is lowered into the ground, then re-emerges with food and wine.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle takes a bread roll and begins to eat it. MacPhaerson glances at him, and smirks.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> <em>[Banging her fist on the table.]</em> Speech! Speech!</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[With a mouth full of bread.]</em> Nooo…</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Speech! Speech!</p>
<p><em>[The other employees join in.]</em></p>
<p><strong>VKTM:</strong> Speech! Speech! Speech!</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle groans and stands up, holding his wine glass in front of him.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Alright! You want me to talk? I'll talk.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle takes a deep breath.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You're all a bunch of <em>[wolf howling]</em> <em>[duck quacking]</em> <em>[lion roaring]</em> <em>[cricket chirping]</em> <em>[owl screeching]</em>s. I hope you all <em>[bird tweeting]</em> <em>[mouse squeaking]</em> <em>[bee buzzing]</em>. You tortured me for two weeks. And for what? And you think you're all <em>sooo</em> funny. "Oh, look at me, I know how to deflect questions and some mild wit." That's what you sound like. All of you. And as satirists? What the <em>[woodpecker pecking]</em> was the point of any of this? Satire requires clarity of purpose, and from what I can see, all of this is pointless. Do you just get off on watching me suffer? That's certainly not original, everyone in the universe does that, including the universe itself. But congratulations, I guess. You won. <em>[Elephant trumpeting]</em> off and die, you miserable <em>[female humanoid voice saying "bastards"]</em>.</p>
<p><em>[The VKTM employees applaud.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle takes a gulp from his wineglass, then spits it out, staining his tuxedo.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[Screaming.]</em> Is that blood? <em>[snake hissing]</em>ING BLOOD?!</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Tsk. Willie, you really still haven't learned your lesson?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Lesson? What lesson could I <em>possibly</em> take from this?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> You can't trust the media.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle groans and sits back down, slumping his head forward.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> By the way, what's satire?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I hate you.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Right back at ya, hubby.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Then why'd you pick me to marry?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> You really are thick, aren't you?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Say I am. Why'd you pick me?</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson gestures to the room. The organ grinder begins to play the macarena. Herbacious Willoughby, <a href="/scp-5571">a VKTM employee 2.9 meters tall</a>, leads a group to dance to it.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> For this. It made great TV, I think you'll find. We'll send you some demo tapes.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You'd better. I'm not having you pretend none of this happened like you always do.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Why Willie, whatever are you talking about?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Eugh. You know one question I've always had about you?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Probably.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Who are you actually making this media for?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> What do you mean?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Like. Who's your target audience? You just seem to randomly do stuff. I mean, a good half of your efforts this past few years seem to be specifically targeting us at Site-43. What's the business here?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> They know who they are. Anything more is proprietary.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> To me? I mean, should spouses really keep secrets like that from each other?</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson laughs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Nice try.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> You know, you're acting a lot ruder than normal.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> What're you gonna do, sue? Good luck testifying against us, hubby.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I'm pretty sure that's not how spousal privilege works.</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson sits in silence for eight seconds. She slaps her forehead, covering her hand with blood droplets.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> I need to make some calls.</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson stands up and walks away.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle shrugs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Don't let me stop you.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle sits and eats his food.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Arcturus Haverfordshire is placed in the seat next to Dr. Wettle by his puppeteers.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Mind if I sit here?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle's eyes narrow.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Does it matter?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Not really, no.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle rolls his eyes.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> What do you want, puppet?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Why do you think I want something?</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Don't play games with me. All you have are smoke and mirrors. Mr. Sharke told me about your secret.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Oh?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle smirks.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> That you didn't kill her.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Willie, that's just what I wanted to talk about! You're right of course. I couldn't find it in my heart to hurt sweetdorable little Winnie. But still, I was wondering if you wanted to meet her again? Have a full conversation? Maybe even take her home for a while?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle nods. Haverfordshire looks at him expectantly. Dr. Wettle signals to continue.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> I know fatherhood is a new and scary world for you, but you did at one point want a family! Maybe this is your chance. And now, while she's still young, that's the best time to really infilmitrate her heart. She was excited to meet you, you know.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Uh-huh.</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire sits and stares. Dr. Wettle stares back. Haverfordshire nods at Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Is that all?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Yup. That's about the whole deali—</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle beams.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Great! I'm heading home.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> But don't you wanna meet—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> She's not real. Of course she isn't. I know you, I know your tricks. It sucks and it hurts like a <em>[fox yipping]</em>, but I know how to get around you.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Willie, she's—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> No more lies. Come on, you think I can't see what you're trying to do here? One last stinger, with the prop that made me freak out the most?</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Willie—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> She's a skinpuppet filled with fake blood. Admit it. You were gonna do something like make me think you'd saddled me with a kid, then on the plane ride home, she was gonna melt in my arms while screaming.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle snickers.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Well, too bad! As far as I've seen it, you got your climax. But I'm not giving you anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Haverfordshire:</strong> Willie, seriously—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Stop. Don't even bother. I'm done.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle slams his arms on the table and stands up.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The organ grinder stops playing. All the VKTM employees turn to look at Dr. Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I did your <em>[hawk crying]</em> wedding. Can I go?</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> <em>[Into her Blackberry.]</em> Sorry, I'll call you back. <em>[To Dr. Wettle.]</em> What does your contract say?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle eyes Fionn Sharke, who gives a curt nod.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Well then, yeah. Leave whenever you want.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> <em>[Immediately.]</em> I want to leave now.</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Are you sure? Didn't you talk to Arcturus about—</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Yeah, I saw through that. I'm heading home.</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson gives a glance to Haverfordshire, who hangs his head. She shrugs. Haverfordshire walks out of the room.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Alrighty then! I mean, it's like they say, if you love someone, you are contractually obligated to let them go between seasons.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> I thought you didn't love me? Wasn't that what the speech was all about?</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson chuckles.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Oh, of course, but we still have to pretend to love each other in front of the cameras. That's just basic TV.</p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Right, right.</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle glances around.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> Which way is out of here?</p>
<p><strong>Cassandra:</strong> Oh, allow me!</p>
<p><em>[Cassandra gets up and hits a button on the wall with the back of her oar. The wall opens to reveal a plane, a runway, and a sunset over the ocean.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Wettle:</strong> So… this is it?</p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle stares at MacPhaerson and takes a step towards the airplane.]</em></p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson nods.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> This is it. Go. It'll take you home!</p>
<p><em>[The organ grinder plays "So Long, Farewell" from The Sound of Music.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle takes a couple more steps, turns back to glance at the employees, and breaks into a run.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle begins to laugh and sob uncontrollably.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle reaches the plane, swings the door open, enters, and slams the door behind him.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The plane starts down the runway.]</em></p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson waves goodbye, as do the other VKTM employees.]</em></p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson gives a soft smile, which is shortly replaced by a scowl.]</em></p>
<p><em>[Dr. Wettle's plane flies into the sunset, crashing through it.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The sky shatters like glass, revealing only static behind it.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The plane continues flying.]</em></p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson stands still for 20 seconds, then checks her watch.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Where the fuck is that puppet?</p>
<p><em>[Haverfordshire enters the room, holding the hand of Winifred Wettle.]</em></p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson smiles.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Winnie!</p>
<p><em>[Winifred grins and runs to MacPhaerson.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> Aunt Mari!</p>
<p><em>[Winifred trips from an untied shoelace. MacPhaerson catches her and scoops her up into a hug.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> Is it true? Did Dad really leave without saying goodbye?</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson smiles sadly, her blood leaking out of her bandages enough to reach the corners of her mouth.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> I'm sorry, Winnie.</p>
<p><em>[Winifred frowns and kicks at the ground.]</em></p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> I guess it's okay. I was just… I really wanted to—</p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> I know, bunny. I know.</p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> Will he come back soon?</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson shrugs.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Depends on how well business goes. But he'll be back eventually.</p>
<p><strong>Winifred:</strong> For season two?</p>
<p><em>[MacPhaerson chuckles.]</em></p>
<p><strong>MacPhaerson:</strong> Something like that.</p>
<p><em>[The episode ends.]</em></p>

<strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> There is no known way to prevent the manifestation of SCP-8890.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8890 is a shape-changing entity; its known forms include Sus domesticus, Felis catus, and Canis lupus. There have been no sightings of SCP-8890 assuming the form of a primate. The anomaly has been noted as the Beast of Gévaudan, and has been on record since at least 1764.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> Howard Smith, currently designated SCP-8890-1, has noted that the aggression of the anomaly is focused on one individual at any given point.</p>
<p>SCP-8890 appears to target a singular individual for long periods of time, during which it will intentionally target persons who have a mutually agreed upon "close relationship" with the individual, in an apparent attempt to cause psychological stress to the targeted individual. SCP-8890 will manifest exclusively when the targeted individual, which is designated as SCP-8890-1, is either in a state of emotional breakdown, or when the targeted individual is isolated. SCP-8890-1 has currently attempted twelve terminations on SCP-8890, sanctioned by Containment Area-111 Directors.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> None have been successful.</p>

Eight members were killed by the Beast without it being located, leaving Sgt. Smith and one other member of the squadron. The other member was killed, with Sgt. Smith witnessing the killing and entering a heightened state of rage. He reported to shoot it in the right eye and has reported it having a scar from that experience. It is unknown why this event left a tangible scar on SCP-8890, and none after. After this event, Sgt. Smith left PENTAGRAM and joined the Foundation, being stationed as an MTF Commander in Containment Area-111.</td>

<p><strong>SMITH:</strong> I've been doing research. A lot of research. I know this is going to work, Addy. I know it. It's supernatural, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it has a connection to folklore and such— So, this is going to work.</p>
<p>(<em>Dr. Magdalene sighs.</em>)</p>
<p><strong>MAGDALENE:</strong> Okay. I— I'll help. I'm just not sure about this. What if this doesn't work, Howard?</p>
<p><strong>SMITH:</strong> It will. I know it will. Don't worry a bit, Addy.</p>
<p><strong>MAGDALENE:</strong> Alright… but please, promise me something. Promise me you'll stay safe. Don't be reckless, I don't want you getting hurt.</p>

<p>Following Attempt VIII, Dr. Lilyann Sophia, under the guidance of the wider Ethics Committee, has mandated a halt on all experiments with SCP-8890, until the time when Sgt. Smith has been cleared by the Site Psychiatrist.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8890.4:</strong> Sgt. Smith's Psychological Evaluation</p>
<p>The transcripts of Sgt. Smith's therapy sessions can be acquired on request to any Site Command personnel. The final session, and likely the cause of Incident 8890/1, can be found below.</p>

<p><strong>GRAY:</strong> Hello, Howard. How are you today?</p>
<p><strong>SMITH:</strong> Fine. It's just been a boring shift but thank God for that.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>Addendum 8890.5:</strong> Incident 8890/1</p>
<p>Coinciding with Sgt. Smith's final psychological evaluation, and its abrupt end, SCP-8890 manifested inside of Containment Area-111. While personnel were able to secure the halls and avoid any casualties, SCP-8890 still caused significant damage to the halls of the Safe and Euclid level containment area walls and doors. SCP-8890 spent a majority of Incident 8890/1 trying to forcibly enter Dr. Gray's office. It was not successful in destroying the magnetically locked door or surrounding walls, and de-manifested after thirty-two minutes.</p>
<p>Site Command, in light of this Incident, decided to vote on whether or not to resume Termination Experiments. Director Clifford has explained their view that the Experiments distracted Sgt. Smith, keeping SCP-8890 from manifesting inside of Containment Area-111.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8890.6:</strong> Site Command Vote</p>
<div class="blockquote" style="border-radius: 10px; margin: 10px">
<p>Proposal to Site Command: Allow Sergeant Howard Smith to continue SCP-8890 termination attempts.</p>
<p>Explanation: SCP-8890 has recently rampaged through Containment Area-111, causing damage to the locking mechanisms of Safe and Euclid hall doors, as well as being a threat to personnel. This did not occur when we were not mandating Smith's psychological evaluation or allowing him to conduct termination attempts. He will succeed, or he will not.</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8891</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Information suppression protocols shall remain in effect until such time that SCP-8891's component technologies can be reproduced by mundane science.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8891 is the Yuelao EX® neural prosthetic implant, produced by Lotus Paramedical between 1994 and 1996. SCP-8891 was designed to treat patients with chronic pain, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, movement disorders, and select neuropsychiatric conditions.</p>
<div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:35%;"><img alt="Parasite.png" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-8891/Parasite.png"/>
<div class="scp-image-caption">
<p>Side profile X-ray of an SCP-8891 recipient (circa 2003). Patient had been complaining of jaw pain and migraines in the preceding months. Central processing unit circled in red.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>Inert, SCP-8891 is a cone-shaped device measuring five millimeters in height, with a base circumference of nine millimeters. Once implanted adjacent to the user's spinal cord, SCP-8891 extrudes microscopic tendrils composed of biocompatible aluminum and gold, with segments separated by variable-thickness plastic mesh. Each connector has a radial cross-section of sixty micrometers (60 μm) and a length of up to three meters.</p>
<p>These tendrils attach to the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) at multiple locations, bypassing damaged tissue and enabling the device to transmit, redirect and generate electrical impulses for the benefit of the patient. SCP-8891's memristor-based<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> design allows for limited learning capability over a period of controlled use, theoretically enabling the device to self-regulate over long periods without external monitoring.</p>
<p>Although SCP-8891 performed extremely well in clinical trials and contributed to desirable patient outcomes within its operational lifespan, the device was discontinued shortly after release. Internal documentation states that Lotus "overestimated" the demand for medical implants in anomalous markets,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> and that sales of the Yuelao EX® had failed to meet expectations. Combined with high manufacturing costs, the growth of non-invasive treatment options, and the paraeconomic bust of the 1990s, the company's board of directors voted to halt production. In Q2 1997, Lotus discontinued access to its proprietary maintenance toolkit and ceased providing technical support to its 639 customers.</p>
<p>SCP-8891's service life was estimated at ten years. Starting in 2004, an increasing number of patients began to report serious complications. Documented side effects include: relapse of prior symptoms, implant rejection, bacterial infection, organ perforation, heavy metal poisoning,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> blindness, deafness, hallucinations, hypoalgesia,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> polyphagia,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> alien hand syndrome, supernumerary phantom limb syndrome,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> depression, mood swings, depersonalization-derealization disorder, endocrine disease, dementia, aphasia, dysarthria,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup> dysautonomia,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup> cranial nerve disease, stroke, seizures, paralysis, coma, and death.</p>
<p>As of 2010/01/01, all 422 surviving implant recipients reside in paranormal enclaves. The majority of these users have experienced mild-to-severe complications, but have not been able to obtain treatment, due in part to the prohibitive cost of surgical intervention<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-9" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-9')">9</a></sup> and low probability of success. Since the product is closely intertwined with the patient's nervous system, it is nearly impossible to extract SCP-8891 without causing severe injury. Disabling the central processing unit has also proven ineffective; unless SCP-8891 receives new instructions from a genuine maintenance toolkit, the onboard memristors will continue functioning indefinitely.</p>
<p>Lotus Paramedical was dissolved during the 2008 recession. All of their physical assets were liquidated and intellectual property rights were transferred to the parent company, Neptune Diversified Holdings. To date, class-action lawsuits have seen no compensation.</p>
<p>The projected cost of containment via treatment significantly exceeds the SCP Foundation's annual dollar-per-object (DPO) threshold. As a result, total enclosure of SCP-8891 is considered beyond the organization's operational remit.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8891-01:</strong> Destructive testing demonstrates that total integration with SCP-8891 can improve the subject's reaction time, imbue partial resistance to environmental threats,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-10" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-10')">10</a></sup> and allow the user to withstand physical damage beyond baseline human norms. As a self-sustaining enhancement of the central nervous system, it is clear that the Yuelao EX® implant has untapped potential as a research and containment tool.</p>
<p>Researchers are confident in their ability to produce a new, refined version of the implant with fewer undesirable side effects. To that end, Project Jiangshi is seeking authorization to buy out the original patents from Neptune Diversified Holdings and open up treatment applications via Specialized Care Providers.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-11" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-11')">11</a></sup> This would allow us to extract training data from existing users and stress-test hardware and software updates in the field. With hundreds of SCP-8891 recipients in need of palliative care and an ever-increasing number of Mobile Task Force operatives injured in the line of duty, it is unlikely that Project Jiangshi will ever run out of willing volunteers.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum 8891-02:</strong> On 2011/07/22, <tt>Patient X</tt> (76-year-old male) was admitted to St. Hedwig's Hospital in Three Portlands following a slip-and-fall accident. Despite a fractured C4 vertebra, damage to the brain stem, and the absence of verbal communication, the subject remained ambulatory and responsive to stimuli. Reviewing his medical file, doctors noted that <tt>Patient X</tt> had received an SCP-8891 implant in 1996 to treat the emerging symptoms of Parkinson's disease.</p>
<p>Electroencephalography revealed that <tt>Patient X</tt> is conscious, but completely unable to control his actions, similar to mundane locked-in syndrome. Diagnostic imaging confirmed that SCP-8891 has interfaced directly with the subject's cranial nerves to intercept visual and auditory information. Given these exceptional circumstances, St. Hedwig's administration elected to transfer the patient to Specialized Care Providers for long-term supervision.</p>
<p>The current hypothesis is that SCP-8891 is acting as a redundant nervous system, utilizing fifteen years' worth of training data to simulate human action. As a result, <tt>Patient X</tt> remains capable of following simple instructions and performing physical tasks. Given the far-reaching implications of this discovery, project researchers have been authorized to probe the limits of SCP-8891's functionality via exploratory surgery.</p>

<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> The town of Fenton, Indiana is to be unincorporated. Motor and foot traffic around the town is to be redirected. Perimeter A1-L4 is to be established and maintained around the town by ATF Kappa-8894 (“Fall Forever”).</p>
<p>Personnel stationed around SCP-8894 are to be measured for height deviations biweekly. Sinkholes within and surrounding Fenton are to be cordoned off immediately. Personnel are advised to take great care so as to not fall in.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8894 is the designation for the soil in the region of and surrounding Fenton, Indiana. As of writing, SCP-8894 possesses a number of poorly documented anomalous effects, including but not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>locomotion (confirmed);</li>
<li>transformation of organic matter (confirmed);</li>
<li>vocalization (confirmed);</li>
<li>formation of spatial anomalies (according to eyewitness accounts);</li>
<li>physical manipulation of matter (according to eyewitness accounts);</li>
<li>levitation (according to eyewitness accounts).</li>
</ul>
<p>SCP-8894's primary activity is the formation of sinkholes throughout the town of Fenton. These sinkholes have been found to be hostile towards human life and may possess a limited degree of sentience. Voices have been heard emanating from these sinkholes. It is currently unclear the number of SCP-8894's total victims– to date, only one body has been recovered (see <strong>Addendum 8894-4</strong>).</p>
<p>Anomalous activity is sparse and inconsistent. Specimens separated from Fenton display little to no activity. The residents of Fenton are aware of SCP-8894’s existence, however, discussion of the subject is considered taboo by most individuals.</p>
<p>SCP-8894 is primarily involved with a series of anomalous events that occurred in Fenton during August of 2002.</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Addendum 8894-1:</strong> Initial Discovery</p>
<p>On 2002/08/11 at approximately 0350 hours, the Foundation intercepted an emergency services telephone call from within Fenton. A transcript of the call is included below, in its entirety.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<hr/>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><tt>[BEGIN LOG]</tt></strong></p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> Oh– oh, thank God! I–</p>
<p><strong>DISPATCHER:</strong> 911, what is your emergency?</p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> I'm– something happened to my sister, she's– oh, God. I can’t see a thing, the lights went off and she started—</p>
<p><strong>DISPATCHER:</strong> Take a deep breath. Come on now, sweetheart. Breathe with me. There we go. What happened?</p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> <em>[A pause.]</em> Something stretched her.</p>
<p><strong>DISPATCHER:</strong> I'm sorry?</p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> Something picked her up and pulled at her and then she fell into some sort of hole and I– I don't know where she is. I don't know what happened to her.</p>
<p><strong>DISPATCHER:</strong> I'm afraid I don't understand, sweetie.</p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> Listen– I don't know what in God's name just happened, she was just sitting on her chair, and then– then she got pulled upwards into the air like she was on a string, neck first then arms then legs and she was screaming and pleading and coughing and—</p>
<p><em>[A muffled sob.]</em></p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> And then she fell back down. Into the chair. Through it. <em>[A cry.]</em> Oh Lord, her legs started pulling her into the ground, through the floor— her bones cracked and snapped and then, then…</p>
<p><em>[A tone is audible as the call is intercepted by Foundation assets.]</em></p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> Please, send help!</p>
<p><strong>AGENT:</strong> Help is already on the way. Ma’am, is the body still moving? Can you detect a pulse?</p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> She's moving, she's moving. Her arms are all spread out, she's leaning over the hole in the floor. It's so deep, she– Millie, don't touch me! But her face… oh Lord, it came off. Millie— oh God, Millie! Stop smiling! Stop— stop—</p>
<p><strong>AGENT:</strong> Ma’am, is the ground still moving?</p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> It’s… trying to say something. She’s talking. Oh God, please don’t do this to my—</p>
<p><strong>AGENT:</strong> I need you to leave the house right now.</p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> Something’s moving inside her! There’s bulges! Please, don’t jump. There’s nothing down there. Please.</p>
<p><em>[A scream. A sound similar to wood cracking is audible.]</em></p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> The hole is expanding.</p>
<p><strong>AGENT:</strong> Please, exit the house right now.</p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> You’re not Millie.</p>
<p><em>[A wet groan is audible.]</em></p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> She was never that tall.</p>
<p><strong>AGENT:</strong> Ma’am, <em>immediately</em>. Please.</p>
<p><em>[Sound of ripping flesh. A gurgle.]</em></p>
<p><strong>CALLER:</strong> That’s not blood.</p>
<p><em>[Call terminates.]</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><tt>[END LOG]</tt></strong></p>
<hr/></div>
<p>The call was triangulated and a response team was dispatched to the location. Upon arrival, the house from which the call was made was not found, instead being replaced by a large sinkhole. Nothing was found within the hole. Brief vocalizations were audible from within the newly-formed sinkhole, in the voice of an older woman. A partial transcript is available below.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<hr/>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><tt>[BEGIN LOG]</tt></strong></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Have you ever seen a body decay in the mud? After the bugs start getting to it, and the skin starts falling off the bones, and the face can no longer hold anything but a scowl. After the rot gets to it and then only thing that isn’t ash and dust is a caked skeleton and twenty-eight little black teeth.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> It starts to sink.</p>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Who are you?</p>
</div>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> From the right angle, it starts to fall. The dirt gives it love again. The dirt gives it substance— renders <em>meaning</em>. The brain becomes a worm and the bones are cracked to little bits with the gooey marrow spread across the pieces like glue. The heart pumps blood. Black. The lungs breathe dust. The face— picked away by insects and fungi and all sorts of yucky little things— oh, honey.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> It laughs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><tt>[END LOG]</tt></strong></p>
<hr/></div>
<p>Shortly after the team departed, vocalizations were audible throughout the town. An excerpt recorded by a resident, audible through a shower drain in a nearby home is included below.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<hr/>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><tt>[BEGIN LOG]</tt></strong></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Hmm. An old story my pastor used to tell me. Back when the Lord still dined in the hearts of men and the dirt was still fresh from the rain.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> He told me all this with a crooked smile and an even worse back and arms that seemed to reach out— out! Right at you to put a smile on your face. Long, long, long. Legs that could reach you deep inside the Earth. A tongue and fingers to make you fall until you couldn’t tell up from down anymore. But did it matter? It was all down. Hmm.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Down, down, down.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><tt>[END LOG]</tt></strong></p>
<hr/></div>
<p>The vocalizations ceased temporarily, before continuing again in a different location. Agent Porter discovered the sound echoing through a network of pipes in the basement of Fenton Elementary School. Because the sinkhole and the school are within close proximity to each other, most of the second vocalizations were recorded.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<hr/>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><tt>[BEGIN LOG]</tt></strong></p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> —He told me about what happened at the cross one day. The big one, the one with the body and blood that stretched so tall— floor to ceiling— with a nail through each hand, <em>bang bang bang</em>. He told me about the other Mary, the one who greased Him up and stuck a puppet in his bones. How she pulled open his casket straight out of the soil and threw him up into the air three feet, four feet, five feet— ha! Until he started falling down, down, down and never did stop. Did he?</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> He told me, by God— he told me that it was a miracle. Ha. Didn’t stop for the ground. Just kept falling. Just kept thrashing. You think it’s a miracle too? Buried six feet under in a pile of hate. Don’t lie to me. Lord knows I ain’t. He sunk so low, so <em>deep</em> that it would look like he was falling right into Hell itself. Into wood and blood and floor so thick like it was like <em>quicksand</em>.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> The dirt and bone got pulled in, splinter by splinter, vein by vein until his face was the size of a mountain. Eyes open. Mouth wide. Screaming isn’t an option, is it? Not when there’s no one to hear you so far <em>down</em>.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> He was clean like the dirt, my pastor said. He was going to heaven, my pastor said.</p>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<p><strong>MULTIPLE VOICES:</strong> <tt>Seated at the right hand of the Lord.</tt></p>
</div>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Don’t you know it. Just an endless abyss without another side. Heaven.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Don’t look at me like that.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Who was gonna tell him that it wasn’t Jesus anymore?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><tt>[END LOG]</tt></strong></p>
<hr/></div>
<p>Personnel observing the original sinkhole reported seeing movements and figures within the darkness. Three personnel and one civilian fell in before an official security cordon was established. A crowd of civilians gathered around the hole and became increasingly violent before Foundation agents were able to disperse the group. A partial transcript of Agent Porter's debriefing is included below.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<hr/>
<p>Yeah, yeah. No, I'm fine, Doctor. Thank you.</p>
<p>We got there at about 0400. It was dark. Rainy. Could barely see the trees five feet next to you. When we got there, there wasn’t a house in sight. Just a pile of mud and a dead bush. I think I saw a flashlight beam pointing all over the place— left, right, left, right. Swinging like a madman. We thought that was our victim. Who else would have been there? How the hell were we supposed to know that it wasn’t her?</p>
<p>By all accounts, that house should have been there. It had to have been there. Nothing. Just a pit. Shined the flashlight down it. Just more darkness. We dropped a flare down the top of the sinkhole. Ten feet. Fifteen feet. It just kept falling. Twenty. After it disappeared, we figured we'd stay clear of it for a while.</p>
<p>After a bit, Whitlock<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> started complaining about hearing voices. He said the voice came from the hole– not the hole itself, but the <em>dirt</em>. He said it told him to jump.</p>
<p>I saw him brace. I know that man. I've worked with him for years. I served in Afghanistan with him, before we joined the Foundation. I've never seen him scared like that. Never, you understand? Not while bullets whizzed past our heads in a three-foot trench. Not while he watched his daughter die. No, he’d always put his hands together, look down, and pray. I have no idea how he kept his faith after all that. I'd never seen him shed a tear before. Never seen him all paranoid, looking around all around him like a wild dog. We couldn't calm him down. We were about to sedate him, when– when he started sinking into the mud.</p>
<p>He wasn’t praying this time.</p>
<p>It started pulling him in, towards the hole. He lost his balance real quick. Fell into the mud. He started thrashing, fighting against it, and we tried to help– we <em>tried</em> to help, you understand, but he just wouldn't let us. He kicked and screamed– nearly bit my hand off. We stopped trying after his leg came off. Clean off the bone. Still don't know if it was the mud, or if it was one of us.</p>
<p>I worked with him for years. I've babysat his kids before. Fuck me.</p>
<p>He fell in real quick after that. He tried holding on to the edge, but he couldn't get a drop of traction. Just too slippery. The scream. God, the <em>scream</em> is what I won't forget. Just inhuman. Or the most human sound I've ever heard. I saw him thrashing as he fell, he reached up and looked at me, straight at me, with the same eyes I've known for twenty-five years. I wanted to reach in and… and grab his hand. He kept screaming until we could barely see him anymore. Never heard him hit the bottom.</p>
<p>We stood there for a while. No one said a word. Until– the rest of the mud started falling into the pit. Little bits and pieces started falling in from the sides, then the rain started washing it all down, straight into the hole. It got big, <em>fast</em>. We left pretty quickly after that.</p>
<p>We would have classified it as a one-off anomaly if that was the only thing we saw in that town. By God, I wish it was.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 8894-2:</strong> Timeline of Events</p>
<p>The following timeline was constructed from scattered eyewitness accounts.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>2002/08/04:</strong> A thunderstorm begins four kilometers north of Fenton, Indiana. It continues towards Fenton until it completely covers it by midnight. It does not stop for the duration of the events in this timeline.</li>
<li><strong>2002/08/05:</strong> By midday, the storm eliminates half the town's infrastructure, rendering most of the town deprived of light and electricity.</li>
<li><strong>2002/08/06:</strong> The main road leading in and out of the town collapses due to a mudslide, and by 4:00 PM, the mayor declares a state of emergency. Schools are shut down, and most businesses close.</li>
<li><strong>2002/08/07:</strong> Two schoolchildren report experiencing identical visions to their parents. They describe seeing their homes engulfed by flame, following a lightning strike. As the home burns to the ground, a figure, of which they are intensely aware, is present within the upper levels of the structure. As the rest of the house collapses, the figure levitates above the rubble and hangs in the sky, writhing as the flames cover its body. It does not burn. Slowly, as the rest of the rubble descends from view, the figure begins to fall. It stares at the viewer, before disappearing into the ground.</li>
<li><strong>2002/08/08:</strong> Jordan Wakefield, a resident of Fenton, wakes up with his arms and legs stretched through the upper-story floor of his house into its basement. He screams for help, but due to the storm, no one nearby hears his cries. At approximately noon, a loud cracking sound is heard throughout the town, as Wakefield falls through his bedroom into the ground. He is not found.</li>
<li><strong>2002/08/09:</strong> The mayor considers calling in supplies from Indianapolis, but soon realizes that telecommunications have also been disabled. Mud completely covers all access routes in and out of the town. Near dusk, "Baby Dorsey" falls off the bridge in the center of the town while her parents dig nearby for her lost doll. She shouts, "Stubby can talk! Stubby can talk!", before jumping off. She does not land, instead hovering in midair, unresponsive to any physical stimuli.</li>
<li><strong>2002/08/10:</strong> The news of Dorsey spreads around the town. Pastor Lipp of the town's sole church, Fenton Presbyterian, declares the event a "miracle". Dozens gather around Dorsey's unresponsive body to gaze in awe and pray, while she stares open-eyed at the ground beneath her. Around midnight, a sinkhole swallows the home of Patricia Wallace.</li>
<li><strong>2002/08/11:</strong> An anonymous citizen accidentally drops a book into a sewer while walking outside. When they look past the grate into the sewer, they see "a figure falling down a hole". They do not elaborate on this.</li>
<li><strong>2002/08/14:</strong> Dorsey hits the ground.</li>
<li><strong>2002/08/15:</strong> See <strong>Addendum 8894-4</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<hr/>
<p><strong>Addendum 8894-3:</strong> Audio Logs</p>
<p>Vocalizations around the primary sinkhole began the next morning. A partial transcript has been included below.</p>
<div class="blockquote">

<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> That you are. When the prophet Daniel spoke to the king of Babylon about the dream of the tree, did Daniel weep? When the scholars and children were burned in a thousand ovens for not proclaiming faith to a false idol, did they weep? I have heard the screams of the horn and harp and lyre and many instruments, oh, and yet still I stay <em>faithful</em>.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Fall with your arms outstretched. Put your faith in Jesus. Let Him take you away.</p>

<p><strong>MULTIPLE VOICES:</strong> <tt>I am unclean.</tt></p>
</div>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> You ever look over the edge of a drop– maybe three feet, maybe thirty– and feel that little voice inside that tells you to jump? That’s Jesus, calling you home.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> In the last moments before you hit the ground, you <em>will</em> understand the meaning of faith. You <em>will</em> understand salvation. Pray to God you don't hit the ground.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Spread your arms out. Wide. Let yourself fall.</p>
<p><strong>UNKNOWN:</strong> Come home with us.</p>

<p>A series of dreams were experienced by Foundation agents stationed in the town. A transcript of a testimony has been included below.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<hr/>
<p>The dream started in a field. The place was familiar– instantly familiar– it was the farm where I grew up. Every bit of it was how I remember. The rusted wheelbarrow was by the henhouse, the pine trees arched over the barn. It was like home again.</p>
<p>Well, almost.</p>
<p>I walked out to the back of the barn. That's where the horses lived. That's where the horses should have been. I heard them neighing while I was going over there. Something– something about the sound just… put me on guard. It wasn't panicked or anything, just– unnatural. Didn't sound like them. It was like someone else's horses in our horses' skin.</p>
<p>When I got to the other side of the barn, the stables weren't there. The horses weren't there. There was just this– this massive pit, maybe fifteen feet across, right where the horses should have been. There was dirt piling up on the sides like someone had just dug it out. I couldn't see the bottom.</p>
<p>When I looked up again, the sun had already set. I walked to the edge, right to the edge, like something was telling my legs to walk over there. Something that wasn't me. I felt my knees brace as I stood there. I could have just stepped away, looked away, but I– I couldn't. Something told me I had to get in.</p>
<p>Something told me I had to jump. If I didn't, I could stand there all night, waiting for the cold to get to me, but if I did… I would be judged. I would end up someplace better.</p>
<p>I looked over the edge. I jumped.</p>
<p>I knew it was a dream at that point. I knew it couldn't be real. I wanted to wake up. I wanted to wake up <em>so bad</em>. But I couldn't. I just kept falling. Waiting second by second to hit the bottom. To feel my bones crushed by the force of the plummet. It didn't come.</p>
<p>The darkness overtook me. I couldn't move. I couldn't escape.</p>
<p>A minute passes.</p>
<p>I have been judged.</p>
<p>I hit the bottom.</p>
<p>I wake up.</p>

<p>As the morning progressed, more vocalizations were audible emanating from a well near the edge of town. A transcript has been included below.</p>

<p><strong>Addendum 8894-4:</strong> Events of 2002/08/15</p>
<p>Over the morning of 2002/08/15, SCP-8894's activity increased dramatically. A timeline of events has been constructed from eyewitness accounts.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>0642:</strong> A sinkhole forms at the site of Baby Dorsey's death. Her remains are brought to the town's clinic for autopsy.</li>
<li><strong>~0700:</strong> The town gathers around the site of Baby Dorsey's death. The residents of Fenton bring candles and sing hymns as they form a circle surrounding the sinkhole. Notably, the smoke from the candles wafts into the sinkhole. A few eyewitnesses recall hearing voices emanating from the sinkhole, singing along.</li>
<li><strong>~0830:</strong> The crowd begins to walk towards Fenton Presbyterian Church. Seismic tremors are recorded throughout the town.</li>
<li><strong>~1000:</strong> The autopsy concludes. Dorsey's body continues to move and vocalize despite the loss of all blood. She repeats, "Still falling, still falling," until samples of SCP-8894 are forcibly removed from her corpse.</li>
<li><strong>1022:</strong> All vocalizations cease.</li>
<li><strong>1024:</strong> Pastor Lipp emerges from the crowd and directs the group towards the church. The rain beats heavily on the crowd, but they do not seem to take notice. Their candles do not burn out.</li>
<li><strong>1040:</strong> The group passes Fenton Memorial Park, the town's cemetery. Onlookers report that the crowd is much larger than originally seen– it appears to have doubled in size, with many new members joining whose identities are unknown or unclear to observers.</li>
<li><strong>1044:</strong> Dorsey's mother and father appear in the crowd.</li>
<li><strong>1048:</strong> Lipp enters the church.</li>
</ul>
<p>These events culminated in an incident that occurred within Fenton Presbyterian Church. The sole recording detailing the event live-broadcasted to Foundation Site-39 has been transcribed below.</p>
<div class="blockquote">

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><tt>[BEGIN LOG]</tt></strong></p>
<p><em>[Video opens to a church sanctuary, in which a middle-aged stern-faced man is standing. The man, identified as Pastor Buddy Lipp, addresses the crowd.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> Friends, a question for you. I want you each to reflect, to think deeply about your answer. And then I want you to tell me.</p>
<p><em>[Silence.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> Do you think you're going to heaven?</p>
<p><em>[Collective murmuring. The crowd becomes agitated.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> Quiet! I want you each to think. What have you done wrong? How have each of you sinned? What have each of you done to give in to your collective uncleanliness?</p>
<p><em>[The murmuring continues. The ground shakes very slightly.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> Nothing will clean you, that you know. The unending rain will not clean you. The mud will not clean you. A leap of faith will not clean you. Sinner.</p>
<p><em>[LIPP's head jerks backward as he begins to levitate. This does not seem to affect his speech.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> I've had people ask me, "Buddy, why is this happening to me?" I always tell them the same thing. You failed. This is your punishment.</p>
<p><em>[A loud crack fills the audience as LIPP's spine cracks in two. He does not seem affected by this, and does not acknowledge it.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> Stand up. Each of you. Stand up now.</p>
<p><em>[The crowd stands uneasily.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> Look at yourselves. I have another question for you sinners. Are you afraid of falling? Does that plummet scare you? Does it test your faith?</p>
<p><em>[A gash runs down the side of LIPP's left leg, spilling blood. The crowd gasps. The ground trembles again.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> I'm going to push you. I'm going to push you down, and you're gonna topple backward, straight off a cliff. Because you all need to listen. You all need to <em>learn</em>. You will clench your asses and thrash and scream and reach out with your hands and arms as far as you can but nothing you can do will stop you.</p>
<p><em>[The crowd begins to levitate. Screams fill the crowd, as they attempt to move. The camera is also included.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> You want to know how you can go to heaven? Do you want to know what you have to do?</p>
<p><em>[The crowd levitates approximately four feet off the ground. Rain begins to fall in through the ceiling.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> Beg.</p>
<p><em>[A loud cracking noise is audible throughout the entire town as the floor of the church breaks in two across the center. Dirt is visible expanding and contracting as a hole opens in the center of the church. A pew falls in, crashing on the way down.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPP:</strong> Beg. Beg, and you will be forgiven. Beg, and you will be cleansed.</p>
<p><em>[LIPP's body stretches vertically. The skin of his legs splits. As he continues to speak, the hole expands to cover the entire church. Nothing but darkness is visible inside.]</em></p>
<p><strong>LIPPS:</strong> Beg, and you will meet salvation.</p>
<p><em>[The crowd, alongside LIPP, cease levitating and fall into the pit. The hall is filled with screams.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera falls along with the rest of the crowd. It shakes violently and thrashes as it tumbles into the wide maw of the sinkhole. Dirt and cracked floorboards are visible across the edge of the pit.]</em></p>
<p><em>[As the camera continues to fall, darkness eventually overtakes the frame and the screams grow soft.]</em></p>
<p><em>[After a period of darkness lasting approximately two minutes, golden light is visible at one end of the hole. The camera falls towards the light at a quick rate before the light overtakes the frame.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The camera adjusts to the new brightness. On the other side of the sinkhole is a harsh white landscape, with no discernable foliage or land formations. The camera now appears to be falling upwards, along with a scattered group of a few dozen people. Blood and small amounts of viscera drip upwards, towards the sky.]</em></p>
<p><em>[A hand reaches out in front of the camera towards the ground. The figures continue to rise.]</em></p>
<p><em>[The video continues for about sixty more seconds in silence, before the connection terminates.]</em></p>

<p>The thunderstorm in the region ceased shortly after. SCP-8894 has displayed little to no activity since.</p>

<p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8898</p>
<p><strong>Object Class:</strong> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Safe</span> [PENDING]</p>
<p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Property rights for SCP-8898-1 have been acquired by the Foundation. Listening posts for Eavesdrop Events have been installed in every major room of the house, maintained by a rotating crew of Foundation personnel.</p>
<p>Analysis of recorded Eavesdrop Events are to continue to determine if SCP-8898-A or -B represent a reasonable threat to our world's baseline reality. To this end, attempts to communicate with SCP-8898-A and -B are to continue.</p>
<p>While Eavesdrop Events have discontinued since 10/1/2009, the listening posts are to remain active in case another occurs, and to determine SCP-8898-2's origin point.</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8898 refers to phenomenon surrounding a two-story house in Gatineau, Quebec. Though the property has since been acquired by the Foundation, the previous owner was reportedly Christine L'Heureux, a Canadian author of children's books.</p>
<p>The entire structure of SCP-8898 acts as an auditory cross-planar interstice; that is, sound occasionally carries over from an identical location in parallel reality to our own. These occurrences have been designated "Eavesdrop Events."</p>
<p>The version of the house that exists in our reality is referred to as SCP-8898-1, whereas the parallel iteration is SCP-8898-2. Previous records indicate that residents of SCP-8898-2 had, at one point, been able to hear voices from SCP-8898-1, but neither SCP-8898-A nor -B have reported hearing these sounds since May of 1993.</p>
<p>SCP-8898-A and SCP-8898-B refer to two former residents of SCP-8898-2. Ostensibly, both are human males of French Canadian descent.</p>
<p>SCP-8898-A is a 39-year-old named ███████ ████████. According to data gathered from Eavesdrop Events, -A is single, unemployed, displays symptoms of extreme anxiety and depression, has congenital alopecia<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>, and rarely leaves SCP-8898-2. -A's daily life is dominated by an intense sense of guilt from his childhood behavioral issues and his strained relationship with his father.</p>
<p>SCP-8898-B is SCP-8898-A's father and the owner of SCP-8898-2. Significantly less is known about -B than -A. Of note, SCP-8898-B has refused to converse with his son about anything other than -A himself.</p>
<p>There had, at one point, been two female residents of SCP-8898-2, but they had left in 1999 for unclear reasons.</p>
<p>Only -A has displayed knowledge of sounds coming from SCP-8898-1. Even after SCP-8898-2 ceased hearing these sounds in 1998, -A has consistently used Saturday evenings as a time to vent his weekly frustrations to the "wall ghosts" in his bedroom.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Hi, Wall Ghosts! ███████ here. I waited until everyone else was asleep. Maybe I could hear you again.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>I'm not sure why you left. But I figured maybe you could still hear me. That way, <em>I</em> could be the creepy thing that <em>you</em> can't explain, hee hee! …Not that I'm tryin' to scare you or anything, of course. That'd just be a jerk move. And it'd also be a jerk move not to keep you posted about what's going on, since you've been following my story and all. So…</p>
<p>I had another fit at school yesterday. Threw my trapper keeper at a mean teacher. It took four grown-ups just to get me to stop hitting people… I must be pretty strong, hee-hee!</p>
<p>Mom and Dad keep acting like it's nothing huge and it's just me "having enough" or whatever, but… whenever I get really angry, they're the only two people on the whole planet that don't look at me like I just pooped in their lunchbox.</p>
<p>Why is it okay with them, but not everyone else? Just once, I'd like mom and dad to punish me in a way that matters. I'd probably get mad, but it makes me madder when stuff doesn't any make sense.</p>
<p>I don't want there to be a different set of rules for me. Maybe I'd have more friends that way.</p>

<strong>A:</strong> Well, Wall Ghosts, I'm sure I can't tell you anything you haven't heard about Dad pulling out the gun. I considered calling the cops myself, but honestly, I don't think the police are gonna trust me anymore after the soup fiasco.
<p>Dad's calmed down a bit. He sat me down earlier today and explained the whole thing. The day before Dad flipped out, Mom and █████ took off somewhere. I never picked up on this, but apparently Mom had secretly been really, really mad at Dad for some reason. I'm guessing it has something to do with how he was freaking out. But they're not sick of me, so that's good, I guess. I guess Mom and █████ are gonna keep in touch with me through letters until Dad gets his life together.</p>
<p>Now, Dad says he's gonna talk to some "special doctor to help him out with some feelings he doesn't understand."</p>
<p>(Oh my God, I'm almost 13, just say you're seeing a therapist.)</p>

<p><strong>A:</strong> Put the phone down. I'm not kidding. <em>No one will ever let me forget about this.</em></p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Hello, Mr. █████████████?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Oh my fucking God.</p>
<p><em>(A heads for the stairs.)</em></p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Yeah, I'm ███████'s dad. ███████ just told me about the very mean things your daughter said to him. I'll have you know, he's a <em>very sensitive</em> boy!</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <em>(Muffled screaming in a pillow.)</em></p>
<p><em>(The phone conversation abruptly ends.)</em></p>
<p><em>(B uses a low voice synonymous with talking into a handheld voice recorder.)</em></p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> The phone has disappeared. Complete Thelemic erasure. …I doubt they'll need any more proof that he's the one.</p>

<h4 id="toc5"><span>2/19/2005 - 23:30 EST - A's room</span></h4>
</div>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Hey, Wall Ghosts, it's me again. So, raise your hand if you know what it feels like to get kicked out of community college? Heh… I guess raising my hand doesn't make that much of a noise. So, uh. "Zoop."</p>
<p>It was for a really weird reason though. I mean, I'm still a pathetic bastard, don't get me wrong. But… remember that English lit class I was having problems with? Dad's been <em>completely</em> on my ass about how to raise my English grades. Dude's been going around like he's the fucking Horse Whisperer of English papers. But the Edwin Hall tutors have been a godsend. I feel like I'm finally looking at my prose style the way I should have been looking at it since freshman year. A bit late of a start, but the paper I turned in last week was something I was actually proud of for a change.</p>
<p>Then…</p>
<p><em>(Defeated chuckle.)</em></p>
<p>…I'm still trying to wrap my head around this bullshit.</p>
<p>When I got back home from turning the paper in, I found what I thought I had just sent the teacher on my bed. <em>Themes of Class Division in Pride and Prejudice</em>. I could hear my heart hit the floor. Did I forget? No, obviously, I handed the damn thing to Mr. █████. I <em>remembered</em> doing that. So what did I even turn in in the first place?</p>
<p>I got called in for a conference yesterday. Mr. █████ was there, and the Dean — and even some cops.</p>
<p>They showed me the paper I actually turned in. Same number of pages, but different content. The whole thing is in all-caps. Except the title. <em>"Raise my Grade or I'll Fuck Your Cat to Death."</em></p>
<p>…</p>
<p>I don't know what to say. I <em>do not</em> remember writing this. I'm holding it in my hands right now, but I have trouble even looking at it. How could I put something like this on a page? There's even numbered sections. "PART ONE: REASONS WHY YOU ARE MAKING ME VERY ANGRY." "PART TWO: I HAVE A GUN." … "PART SEVEN: THE SOUNDS OF ME SCREAMING AND CRYING." …that last section is literally just seven paragraphs of keysmashing.</p>
<p>At least I remembered the fucking bibliography. Like, this link here goes to the floor plan of Mr. █████'s house and a TXT version of the Anarchist's Cookbook.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Again, I don't remember making any of this. Not even for a moment. This <em>has</em> to be a prank of some kind.</p>
<p>But what defense was there? Would anything I could have said even mattered? Maybe I'd have just gotten suspended if this were <em>before</em> shit like Columbine. But this is 2005. So not only was I expelled, there was a question of whether or not I was gonna go to prison about this.</p>
<p>They called my dad in the middle of the conference. Apparently he was able to smooth things over into just an expulsion. Gave 'em the usual "he's a very sensitive boy" bullshit.</p>
<p>He's still trying to console me about this shit. Like it was all a big mistake. My future is ruined and he's acting like I'm just four years old and all tuckered out again. He even said I should show up at the Dean's house and beg him to give me another chance. He even gave me the address.</p>
<p>I don't know if he really understands that he's the only person on the planet who thinks that any of this is okay.</p>
<p>Maybe he doesn't. Is he… scared of me?</p>
<p>Anyway, I confessed to making the paper. I don't think I did, but at this point, calling it a prank would have been more trouble than it's worth to prove.</p>
<p>And besides, there's still the possibility that I <em>did</em> write it. That I'm <em>actually</em> losing my mind. I don't want to even acknowledge that possibility, but it's there.</p>
<p>And let's not ignore the obvious: I'm talking to a fucking wall because I think it's full of ghosts.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Wall Ghosts, I don't even know if you're listening anymore. But I just wanted to say: thank you for being that special thing that only I get to know about.</p>
<p>Some days, I even feel like you're my only friends.</p>

</div>
<p><strong>B:</strong> …mind if I come in?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <em>(Affirmative grunt.)</em></p>
<p><em>(12 seconds of awkward silence.)</em></p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> I noticed you've been keeping this room extra-clean lately. Gotta say, I'm proud of you.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> It's the bare minimum. That's nothing to be proud of. But something tells me that's not why you're in here.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Mm. Just wanna check on how your job search is going.</p>
<p><em>(A draws a long sigh.)</em></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> I know… I've been mooching off you for too long.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Hey, I didn't say that!</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <em>I'm</em> sayin' it. Anyway, I'm not even getting interviews anymore. Let's be honest, Dad, I might be a lost cause.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> What about the Jiffy Lube?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Needed experience.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> The 7-11?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Didn't even reply.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Hey, wait a minute, I <em>know</em> that you were a shoo-in at the Barnes & Noble.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> I was. But the first question they asked in the interview was "Are you the same ███████ ████████ from that news story about the English teacher?"</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> And did you say "no?"</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> What? Of course not. Do you really think "no, I'm a <em>different</em> middle-class white Canadian ███████ ████████ with alopecia who has ██████████ College on his resume" would have worked?</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Hmm… did you try going back to them?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> They said no.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> But did you <em>try?</em></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <em>(Sigh)</em> No, I did not try to have the cops called on me.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Aw, don't be like that! Just go back and say, "Hey, you know what? You didn't give me a fair shot."</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> That's not how this works.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> No-no-no, let me finish! Then, you gotta throw things. Fall on the floor. Kick and scream. Really let 'em have it!</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Dad.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> But it <em>works!</em> They'll see you're having a tough time, and they'll <em>have</em> to let you have that job!</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Dad, stop.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> It's what you're best at!</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <em>I KNOW!</em></p>
<p>…</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> ███████?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <em>(Voice cracking)</em> …I <em>know,</em> okay? I know my outbursts have taken control of my life. They've alienated all my friends. They scared Mom and █████ away. They drove you to shoot the fucking TV in front of me.</p>
<p>God's sake, Dad, I just want to be a good person. And it's too late to start.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Come on, ███████, you're a great guy…</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Do great guys pinch their baby sister for no reason?</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> You were <em>four.</em></p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> And if my emotional intelligence is anything to go by, I still am.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Quit being so hard on yourself.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Why?! Evidently, it's the one thing keeping me from threatening to fuck people's cats!</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> You didn't write that essay.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Who the hell else could have written it?!</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> I did.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Exactly! I was —</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>…Dad?</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> I'm sorry, ███████. I switched your essay out with my own.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> no, that's… that doesn't make any sense. You'd have no reason to do it. You wouldn't intentionally ruin my…</p>
<p><em>(Deep sigh. A falls on the bed.)</em></p>
<p>You know what… fuck it. You deserved some kind of catharsis after all I put you through as a kid.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> That's not why. I'd <em>never</em> hurt you like that.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Bullshit. Nothing else makes sense.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Can I at least tell you the real reason?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> I don't promise to care about it.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> That's fair.</p>
<p><em>(B gets up to leave.)</em></p>
<p>When you were failing English, I knew it was because you weren't utilizing your gift. So, I tried to bring it out <em>for</em> you. But it looks like the miracles only happen when they come from the real McCoy.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> What "gift?!" Screaming to get what I want?! It only works on you!</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Well, you hold back with everyone else.</p>

<p><strong>A:</strong> Okay. Okay. Got all the shit together. Let's do this. …hoo, Jesus, they weren't kidding about this stuff. FOCUS! Focus. Are we focused?</p>
<p><em>(He clears his throat.)</em></p>
<p>Focus.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Heh. Been a while since I did a lab report.</p>
<p>Question: What is my "gift" actually capable of?</p>
<p>Hypothesis: I can warp reality by throwing a hissy-fit.</p>
<p>Materials: My room. A day when Dad isn't home. This… cheese sandwich. And for that extra emotional push! Some good ol'-fashioned <em>caffeine pills!</em> Haha! Yeah! It's normal for your hands to move like this, right? Right?!</p>

<p><strong>B:</strong> Brothers and sisters! The promised hour is at hand, and with any luck, the <em>Vox Thelemi</em> hasn't heard us already. Get in your hiding places.</p>
<p><em>(Hushed running and giggling of the crowd.)</em></p>
<p>Everyone ready? …good. Remember: the cue is "high time."</p>
<p><em>Hey, ███████!</em> You said you wanted to talk about something earlier. Wanna do it now?</p>

<p><strong>B:</strong> What? …oh, that's awful. What happened?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> I couldn't take care of him, so I tried using the "gift" to make him go away. It melted into a pile of black sludge. Screaming.</p>
<p><strong>B:</strong> Oof, yeah, that'll usually happen if you just say "go away" with no specifics.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <em>Yeah.</em> Like with my mother and sister.</p>

<p><strong>B:</strong> Well, let's not make assumptions —</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> <em>You made me kill them.</em> …this is the part where you tell me why.</p>

<p><strong>A:</strong> Great! See? Not so hard. So, how many hissy fits am I gonna have to throw to get some answers, you abject fucking lunatic?</p>
