That's right Steve Oops, you did it again MC in the chat says that we are alive and so we are going to stream in three two One Hey there foundation staff. This is dr. Theron Sherman as well as my good friend and co-host billif Happy to be here Go Ghostbashers team welcome to another Anomalous broadcast from site 42. I say go Ghostbashers team. I joined it once and oh my god. I died both games I found a way well, that's that's hardly your fault This is why I stay in the lab. It turns out that the ghost can hear you if you talk during my hunt It's a bad case. Yeah, so maybe it was a little bit your fault, but that's my panic screams were you know Music to its ears absolutely But welcome to our part nine of reading all SCP-7000 entries. Why are we doing such a thing and why have we been doing it for nine sessions now? It is because we are here to benefit Da-da-da-da-da-da Nope, that's the wrong button. That's the right button and it still didn't work Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You are my only hope Bad news. Obi-Wan's dead. Ah, there we go Let me refresh that because we started this because our good friend Dr. Sumerian not a real doctor Got brutally brutally attacked by SCP-4521 as Revenge for my constant testing of its screaming capabilities of which it has not yet But it will but it will and so we have hit 100% of the goal, but we are not done with 100% of the 7000 entries. So we're still going That we are happy to be here. It's gonna be great. We're gonna read Symphony of 76 next It's gonna be it's gonna be awesome Night gamer me and the homies hate Steve.

Yes, and of course the goal of eradicating all trees on the planet We've we've expanded our reach, you know the foundation would fund this itself You know, we are a global organization with all sorts of you know dark money funding, but you know times have been tough There's a reception. There's a recession. There's a war. We had to sell the femur breaker Now we're just hitting people in the shins with a broom and it's it's not as effective We're doing our best guys. It takes a long time. Yeah But because that is 100% complete Hallelujah, thank you to everyone who's donated thus far. We are adding a task if you can help future Horror spooky content happen. We have our good friend of the channel Radiger of the find us alive podcast Kickstarting their next Audio fiction adventure the hymns for the road It is for survivors embark on a never-ending road trip through a post apocalyptic America in a dark fantasy audio drama I hear that similar to SCP-4000 the Fay Fokker involved those without names who can only be described You I accidentally said you identified them so oh by Researcher Well, I guess it's all over for me. See y'all next time Yes I'm back. I'm back. Don't worry about it. I made a deal. I'm gonna regret it later. Don't worry about it I'm a little worried, but that's fine. Yeah, it's cool. Nice to see you back already And with that I am very excited to say that we are starting today's stream with What must be a banger? We are must be getting with SCP 7676 Colloquially known as the I Already forgot the name of it Symphony Symphony of 76 the symphony of 76. I believe I Will double-check, but that's what I recall it Yes, that's what it is. It's the grand symphony symphony of 1976. Correct. Well, I see P 7676 ready for the grand symphony Absolutely, let's get this situated for stream boom And let's take this sucker from the top.

the North Hill Hillcrest High School and is hereafter referred to as the exclusion zone Unauthorized entry into the exclusion zone is forbidden and must be prevented at all costs The following measures have been taken to prevent entry All entrances into the exclusion zone save for the front entrance have been sealed with concrete The front entrance is fitted with an airlock that may only be opened through a majority approval of high command Before I continue, I'll read the photo caption, which is case file photographed of a student subsumed by SCP 76 76 looking good 12 Scranton reality anchors SRAs have been placed around the exclusion zone excluding the area of the auditorium The exclusion zone is secured with three tiers of ground level subsurface and aerial automatic security Load bearing points around the auditorium have been fitted with nitroglycerin based molecular explosives If above measures fail, they are to be detonated Evacuation of on-site personnel is a secondary priority Upon entering the exclusion zone SCP 76 76-G are to be apprehended They must then be sedated and prepared for surgical to bridement Medical staff are to carefully excise the derminous and subcutaneous tissue of their face This is to be labeled with the student's name and placed on full display in sector 2 for monitoring And the site will be put on high alert should any of these faces

subject's death on school grounds Any male and grim personnel displaying outward and repeated expressions of sentimentality for the past are to be restrained and observed Until the completion of their cadence event The resulting SCP 76 76-G will then be operated on and disposed of as outlined above Personnel are not to enter the hallway to the auditorium Retinal scan results rating 29% clear Microsecade deviation nominal you may proceed Description SCP 76 76 is the group designation for the anomalous events and phenomena centered around the north hillcrest high school And its senior class of 1976 located in franklin county wyoming Its overall nature is highly dynamic and it is capable of adapting to countermeasures and neutralization attempts SCP 76 76 is primary characteristic is a violent info hazard termed SCP 76 76- recall Or SCP 76 76-R which attacks by way of weaponizing nostalgia Person to regularly interact with information pertaining to north hillcrest high school where its senior class of 1976 Are susceptible to SCP 76 76-R There was a greater risk for those who directly handle artifacts originating from the school or personal effects of the aforementioned students And personal effects would I click that it says or the lasting marks of the aforementioned students It should be noted that SCP 76 76-R is primarily empathetic being dependent on the experiences of the individual exposed Null angrily disqualifications were put in place to limit the vulnerability of personnel involvement project In SCP 76 76-R's early stages the infected will regularly idealize or fret over their past Specifically their childhood It is through this obsessive recollection that the infected may undergo a cadence event Wherein they experience one an enlargement of the temporal lobe and the development of a targeted form of hyper arrhythmia relating to memories of one's adolescence two a burning sensation behind the ears three memories that begin to feature places and persons unknown but purportedly intimate to the subject four depersonalization and body image issues along with an irrational fear of having their faces touched five intrusive childhood memories from the perspective of another person six feelings of numbness temporary bouts of partial paralysis seven ego death followed by a single-minded fixation on intrusive memories eight a separate personality forming on the basis of the intrusive memories nine and a violent and immediate full-body transfiguration the end result of the transfiguration is an instance of 76 76-gestalt or scp 76 76-G A subject who is the perfect mental and physical duplicate of one of the north hillcrest senior class of 1976 specifically a deceased student instances of 76 76-G created through cadence events exhibit no anomalous traits besides cellular stasis upon death the student's bodies will not decay until that student's identity subsumes a new effectee at which point it will rapidly rot instances of 76 76-G will proceed towards north hillcrest high school and attempt to enter the school's auditorium If they are successful all photographic or recorded depictions of the subject will alter in some way which severely disfigures the face leaving them unrecognizable heavy scarring penetrative injuries removal of facial orifices and deep lacerations have all been observed with depictions varying across multiple images of the same subject furthermore their entry inevitably triggers unpredictable reality altering and chronological phenomena at random while this has previously included events nationwide it no longer is restricted by distance based on the escalation of phenomena as more student identities are subsumed by scp 76 76 as well as the body of evidence collected over the years see addenda It is believed that the full a full assembly of the student body would trigger an xk class end of the world scenario The auditorium currently houses over 99 percent of the north hillcrest senior class of 1976 with the majority being comprised of personnel and civilians that have undergone cadence events The congregation continuously displays a 10 Plays a simple 10 note tune scp 76 76 dash melody vocally and on all manner of orchestral orchestral instruments with only minor aberrations such as students singing out of key or playing the wrong note on occasion several anomalies relating to scp 76 76 are contained in catalogued by the foundation under a variety of item number designations While previously studied alongside scp 76 76 its developing virulence has led to the loss of numerous foundation personnel on these projects These objects files have been since edited by null engram personnel in order to eliminate connections to scp 76 76 and The alternate is to eliminate the lives of involved students physical copies of these documents can be found in the site archives Discovery accessing a dendo scp 76 76 was originally categorized in may of 1976 When the entire senior class and its faculty did not return home from school for several days Dispatched agents observed the effected for a period of 48 hours during which times they performed various mundane activities such as attending classes and afterschool events The town's residents were similarly affected the situation in north hillcrest and its students was not perceived as abnormal by any means The image caption says day two of original assessment Um, oh the there's an it's really hard to see the alternate text here But the perceived as abnormal is a threat to you or your loved ones by any means When not otherwise to catch those Yeah, when not otherwise engaged in scholastic activities students would line up in front of their lockers until the last bell of the next day Under the first bell of the next day, they would then sing whistle or hum scp 76 76 dash m in concert with one another The students would remain in this state ignoring outside stimuli regardless of their physical condition Some were found to have soiled themselves overnight only to continue the melody unabated Faculty members would lie prone and remain silent during this time Further irregularities include 13 students while recorded as attending class were unable to be located A student council survey to determine the year-long school quote theme was returned with non-standard answers filled in such as Remembrance and symphonic All members of the band wrote in penance Students exhibited a complete lack of hostility anxiety and any form of antisocial behavior Focusing on their studies and extracurricular activities with zealous enthusiasm Flyers were distributed regarding an upcoming quote reunion concert and encouraging audience participation Benefactors quote syncope symphony were explicitly thanked for donating several instruments An increase in faith-based club participation was noted in all students and teachers including known atheists The corpse of freshman Nathaniel Lyons was found in the library Cause of death determined to be from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the left temple And the auditorium was found to be impregnable While canvassing school grounds a class photo was discovered in the main hall 13 other depicted students displayed facial disfigurements and these were quickly found to correlate to the missing persons The following is an interview with Valerie and Robert Adams Sorry, Albert Abrams local residents and parents to one of the missing students The audio was recorded by researcher Julia Locke the first evening of foundation involvement This transcription includes after-action notation from the agent And let's see Would you like to be uh I'll take the couple if you want to take the agent perfect Forward agent Locke was permitted into their home under the pretense of harvard recruitment for the couple's son kevin Who was among the missing students introductions and pleasantly pleasant pleasantries have been cut for brevity Mrs. Adams is kind enough to start some tea before joining us in the living room She takes a seat across the from across the coffee table from myself her husband stands behind her Both of them are grinning ear to ear all the while Mr. Abrams it has a noticeable eye tick Now uh before we get started, where is kevin kevin? Oh, well, he should be in school right now classes in session Such a good boy class What classes does north hillcrest provide this time of night? Our kevin has many responsibilities. He's a strong young man He places a hand on her shoulder Such a good good boy Good boy At eight o'clock on a saturday He has a lot of people counting on him. Do you have any idea what i've been actually i've actually checked the school's itinerary There's nothing scheduled for tonight let alone this weekend sir school is not in session They exchange a confused glance here and fail to meaningfully respond Mr. And mrs. Abrams i'm sorry, but when was the last time you saw your son? Well, you You know how it is with teenagers always zipping in and out of the house God bless. My boy has so much on his plate Something shifts in mrs. Abrams. There's a look on her face eyes widened mouth of gape The slow dawning realization that something's amiss that it doesn't add up I lean in giving my most sympathetic look How long has it been mrs. Abrams? I heard him last Last night I stood by his bedroom door and I could hear him bow I heard him and I could hear him our boy He was he was right there. I sat on the other side of the door and I could hear him I could hear our boy al Our kevin was here What was your son saying mrs. Abrams? Oh, he wasn't speaking at all justine. He was singing our boy. He had the voice of It was the voice of an angel He's come such a long way north hillcrest. Well, they've got one hell of a band, you know And they're gearing up for the performance of a lifetime Our kevin is so gifted. He's got an important role in the ensemble That's nice, but mrs. Abrams. I'm sorry, but could we back up I those kids i'll tell you the potential in these children is like nothing i've ever seen They really are our future You did right coming in here mess. Their music is a beautiful thing cherish it Do you remember how they used to sing dear? Baby, how could I forget? The couple looked to one another and started humming this odd little ditty. I cleared my throat This is odd. You see nothing in my records indicate that kevin was musically inclined If my earlier prodding was enough to strain their cognitive dissonance, this seemed to shatter it outright Mrs. Abrams withdraws bowing her head and clutching her hands tightly in her lap Mr. Abrams starts and stops twice to speak features fighting and losing battle of composure chef's heaves with shallow breaths alternately 23 your little Emily He comes to his knees besides his wife and takes her hands in his own my my boy It's okay. Take your time sir he was God he was a good kid Ask anyone around town and they'll tell you he was the kindest sweetest boy He'd do anything to protect the people he loved That's an alternate text as well. He'd do anything to protect his parents that he loves so much I'm sorry was that's That's why I had to look away Couldn't bear to watch this man cry and I knew there were no words I could offer him And I knew there were no words I could offer him you knew because you'd been there yourself You felt it too the knife in your heart the agony of one taken too soon. We know it all too well We just want the world to know our kevin was a hero boy My baby boy I I think you need to leave agent. Please no more questions Why Did it have to be him? I should have pressed further, but I dropped the matter. It's odd on some level I knew I was obligated to prod as much as I was able, but it was something about this kid I simply I felt terrible for him. It was Implaceable or you were thinking of amily. Weren't you she's here with us? I didn't understand it But it felt as if I owed to him to respect their wishes as if I owed it to his memory Forcible removal from school grounds was sufficient to return students and their families to their right state of mind The faculty were able to be evacuated thereafter None were cognizant enough to provide concrete information on the missing students nor the auditoriums inaccessibility The building was closed and cordoned off under a pretense of a gas leak The students were to be redistributed throughout nearby school districts for a period of two weeks While investigators thoroughly canvassed the school property and prepared for a breach of the auditorium This would be interrupted by incident 76 76 dash one retinal scan results Rating 57 percent hazardous Rise in micro-secay deviancy Detected please disengage for at least an hour before continuing Incident log 76 76 dash one. We will not disengage. What could possibly go wrong? Of course not The following is a list of events that occurred the evening after the removal of north hillcrest student body As recounted by eyewitnesses and security feeds At 21 32 Several dozen students are noted to be missing from their homes and are purported wandering through the streets Those who lived closest to north hillcrest begin to arrive on school grounds congregating on the football field Reinforcements are requested by foundation agents At 21 36 through 21 53 over 15 students occupy the football field and refuse to comply with others to disband Mobile task forces are dispatched. ETA projected at 20 minutes An on-site agent approaches in order to intimidate the teens to leave He retreats when the students look up upon him in unison claiming they all have the same face Ultimately, they all have the same face as all as one is all we are. You can be two The school bell chimes and a single student approaches the building The entire senior class fully assembles in the field. The assembly takes the form of a cross All students recite SCP-7676-M as foundation staff sees defensive maneuvers and lay down in the grass The school bell chimes the exterior door connecting to the auditorium opens of its own accord And a second student departs from the crowd following the first towards the open doorway The sound of instruments can be heard emanating from within the auditorium They are playing a discordant cacophony with each instrument being out of harmony with one another From 2255 to 2303 Task forces arrive on scene and move into intercept and easily detain the second student the school bell chimes and a third approaches Agents reads and McDowell are tasked with rescue of the first student as he steadily approaches the stage whose curtains are drawn Kroglowski and shields are instructed to man the doors to ensure they do not close The rest of the unit works to disperse the crowd via deployment of tear gas The auditorium is infiltrated as tear gas is fired into the crowd Reads and McDowell advance on the stage cautiously calling out to the student through the din of music He ignores them and clamors up onto the stage disappearing behind the curtain Out in the field the squadron has broken the lines of the student belligerence Many of whom fled the gas the few remaining are swiftly detained One new one one young woman is unnon responsive McDowell is the first to reach the stage heading up the stairs from the right wing He shouts over the noise receiving no response the pair reach center stage in front of the curtain Reed takes point renting his weapon McDowell stands on to the side grasping the curtain with a free hand He counts down silently from three then pulls back the curtain At 2304 the remains of 13 adolescents are seen scattered across the stage held aloft by an unseen force Though their bodies are limp their hands can be seen to move unsteady playing their respective instruments Due to the grievous damage to their face they are unable to be recognized The male student retrieves a trombone and there is a deafening crack as his neck is instantly bent backwards from a heavy concussive force His body is held in place as he brings his head forward He can be seen that little remains of his face beyond the viscera of a large gaping wound Behind the visage of an angel He places the cup of the trombone to his wound and begins to play From 2303 to 2315 Krogulski is struck out the door as it attempts to close both As attempts to close both her and shields strained to keep it from closing and relay his this development to Reed's and McDowell All agents are able to successfully exfiltrate and the door slam shut Foundation staff rendered immobile by scp 76 76 dash m recovered with no issue and the remaining students experienced confusion having no recollection of their behavior The unresponsive student is found not to be breathing Eliciting cries of concern from her peers as they beg for medical assistance Medic Johansson kneels next to her and attempts mouth-to-mouth resuscitation The first attempt fails with Johansson reporting a lack of pulse He leans back in to try again and the bells in the school bell chimes The unresponsive students face rapidly putrifies as Johansson places his lips on its mouth Johansson recoils and wretches as the cadaver sharply is as sharply lifted into the air and towards the auditorium doors As they do not open her remains are messily pulled under the door's bottom clearance over the course of several minutes Or are shepherded to that golden place. She is reborn among the choir Afterward the task force would remain on site in order to establish the exclusion zone to prohibit future entry and prepare for isolating the town under blackout protocol The morning after the incident Sites 1923 38 and 169 received reports of numerous medical anomalies in their jurisdictions Over 15 comatose individuals ages ranging from 4 to 19 were found to have suddenly expired overnight Further a six-year-old patient in Tennessee who is recovering from routine surgery suffered a grand mal seizure and died within minutes In cases where a time could be identified These are found to correlate with the male student's interaction upon the stage The staff at site 106 would also report an incident involving a car crash on interstate 40 First responders inspecting the remains of a young adult eject from the windshield found them to be responding to stimuli Despite their skull having been fatally crushed upon impact Based on calls to emergency services The accident had occurred concurrently to the dead student's absorption by the auditorium Over the course of the next several months childhood mortality would increase worldwide by 23 Through a combination of a marked upsurge in birth defects and delivery complications and exploration from terminal illness All lies. You know they lie. It's what they do early containment All seniors of north hillcrest were captured and sent to a detainment camp at site 41 Due to families insistence that their children were simply attending school No disinformation measures were needed to be maintained. They were held in detention for interview and study No, none were able to provide actionable intelligence or an explanation for their behavior and were noted as speaking with a tone that And cadence resembling the notes of scp 76 76 dash m. They did not seem to be aware. They were doing so The chaotic music emanating from within the auditorium had not ceased as no anomalous effects were detected in D class Who were exposed to it an analytics department team was tasked with recording the study and composition uh, the date of the reunion concert endorsed by sync synCMP symphony came and went or We can wait as long as it takes. We have our whole lives ahead of us after all And no changes were noted to occur in the auditorium By early august several personnel at site 41 had adopted the speaking cadence of the north hillcrest students Further students stationed within the exclusion zone began to report the family members of the students have begun to sing or whistle scp 76 76 dash m while in public Quarantine measures were enacted limiting the number of affected personnel to 27 On august 21st the analytics department submitted their findings to site 41's leadership Over the course of over of over 30 out 300 hours of recorded audio No correlation could be found when comparing sections of the composition to either classical or contemporary orchestral arrangements When cross-reference to material archived in foundation records a single match was discovered The composition was found to be a perfect reproduction of 1957 class D performance of scp 012 Uh, can you hear it? She's calling to you julia. I believe that's that on melko Right on melko gothler or seven something like that Uh, yeah a secondary analysis of scp 76 76 dash m in light of this revelation Identified the progression of notes within it to coincide with select notes from the opening sections of scp 012 This information was relayed to high command and in order of decommissioning was issued Affected staff remained in quarantine and all remaining 113 students were terminated the families were handled thereafter There was nothing that could be done Research into memetics and info hazards was still very much in its infancy around this time And there was a lot of uncertainty with how the situation would develop with an a rogue element over 100 times strong Or over 100 strong. This was the boa era mind Uh, the general didn't take well to rogue elements much less ones in poorly understood fields Affiliations of sycopy symphony only deepened fears the turnover rate for those working on a sycopy anomaly was staggering Staggering not only for the cognitive dangers to personnel But from the horrors we personally had to witness in these schools The things these anomalies would do to their bodies to their faces. It was unbearable There were times we couldn't do so much as identify victims Time and time again We could do nothing to stop these tragedies the camp cannot finale not out west virginia Salvation high in indiana kirk lawnwood the list goes on either our planning was too poor containment too light Or we simply couldn't act in time to save these kids without swift action to neutralize the situation Re-risk further outbreak re-risk further outbreak. You always held on to it Didn't you that sense of guilt like it was somehow your fault. Emily doesn't blame you. None of us do The analytics department Report was the final nail in the coffin. We've been trying to reproduce something coherent from scp 012 for decades by this point picking up on attempts by earlier organizations dating back to into antiquity Failing miserably time and again to get anything even remotely listable out of it Now up to this point sycopy had been largely assumed to refer to syncopation Some had assumed name related to the mental effects of anomalies stemming from their influence as in pathology Syncopy refers to consciousness loss Bit easy connection to make in grammatical sense. However, sycopy defines the omission of sound from within a spoken word library R in library the second o in chocolate with the d in meta The removal of key elements to change the sound of the end result It was clear to us upon reading that report that scp 76 76 dash m was the only the beginning of a larger piece It was the overture to on mount gugatha And uh that says of the song that will make on make time Syncopy taught us how to play it just right experiment lock During incident 76 76 dash one several foundation personnel were exposed to 76 76 dash m Including 18 mobile task force personnel and researcher reese Researcher reese had come to north milcrest to study the potential memetic effects of scp 76 76 dash m as such He volunteered to isolate himself from the foundation at large in order to document the effects of the scp 76 76 dash m Dr. Wyron volunteered to study researcher reese during the process Detached is a journal dr. Wyron kept during this time with sensitive information redacted I went to see james reese for the first time today I found the containment for james was unnecessarily strict Two guards gave me a mental evaluation test and I had to pass through an airlock to enter the concrete line to contain itself I've seen these measures used to contain some of the worst monsters in the world Seeing james in the cell comfortable with his furnishings. He brought from home was a nice juxtaposition We sat down on the couch together and watched some tv I always found it surprising that we were able to get this six million dollar man down here I was glad to see james was able to relax To the untrained eye. He still seems to be his normal self He made jokes about his quote all expenses paid vacation and drank quite a bit of beer It's me. However, he seemed a bit more quiet than usual. It was like he was stuck in thought Here's a specific conversation. I remember Hey Do you know that the panoptic project they're working on? I do you know about the panoptic project they're working on at site 19? He said he spoke in a monotone In a monotone to avoid transferring the mean I know of it. I replied in monotone as well He was stationed to the project before he transferred to 76 76. What do you need? They're running an experiment for it new visualization tech something to that effect Could you fetch the results for me? I wanted to see if I could give my thoughts on them I shook my head even if I could I doubt they'd let me take anything written by you out of here He laid back. It's not like I'm going to be useful to the foundation much longer We were quiet for a few minutes after that. I wanted to ask the obvious questions I wanted to ask for salvation, but I was not sure if I could I've requested the instantiation instantiation of a mandatory exercise routine for james professionally It's difficult to tell between symptoms of scp 76 76 dash m and the effects of a sustained sedentary lifestyle Personally, he's been getting fat. I told james about it and while he complained that quote He came here to get away from his wife. He understands Speaking of which no real symptoms yet. Thank god. Maybe this is all there. Maybe this is all there is to it First sign of infection today There were signs earlier james kept wanting to watch reruns of the life of riley I didn't catch it at the time, but he probably watched it quite a bit as a kid Today all he wanted to talk about was his childhood in the summer camps He went to playing ball in the yard He talked about it before and I figured he was just letting his life flash before his eyes Now he seems genuinely distressed over it I'm sorry. He said I'm sorry. I'm not able to talk to you about this anymore Researcher hopkins noted something similar and one of the mtf agents that was exposed. I've requested the file from them In other news james is almost completely become another person I could see dozens of makeshift 50s toys scattered around the cell when I visited today when I was talking to him He seemed anxious for me to leave so I he could get back to them My grandfather was diagnosed with dementia as he became worse talking to him was like seeing a completely different person I bring that up because I keep thinking of him whenever I talked to james When I talked to him about the things we did together the thermodynamics paper the lake trip They should have never been in that water Just as we had gone to school on the wrong day That one moment is all it takes the foundation knows they know who they know who we are They know what we're trying to do He looks at me with the blankest stare the difference is that james still enthusiastically talks about his childhood memories Just not the ones he actually had everything. He's talking about for the past few weeks never happened Hopkins finally got back to me with that file and it's the same. They're both fixating on these fabricated memories I talked to james today He's been a courtesy for the past few weeks while listening while he recounts the childhood he never had after a period of silence He said Remember how we used to hop the fence at the mall to steal sigs I nodded along and thought at the time we'd had our first smoke The port falling portion is stricken says it was the three of us back then adam kiley and myself We'd each say we were at the other's house, but we really all we did was look for truck End of the stricken portion I never smoked in my life.

She was simply 200 develop to breathe on her own With little time her father and I had with her brief moments of respect for skin to skin contact I hold those blessed few hours with me in my heart a life sustained only in memory She deserved to have a chance the opportunity of life She deserved to love to laugh to experience the successes and the failures of sat and sadness and joy And all those small moments we all take for granted It's the gift those kids at North Hillcrest were trying to give us all the chance. They're trying to make It's what syncope has been working towards all this time a chance at life for those who never have had their stolen I'm going back to the school back to where it all started I will take my place in the course and with every goddamn ounce of air in my lungs.

There's no reason to hide anymore Jay Locke says is this really the end the world had so much more to offer than high school Where did we go wrong? Why did we have to undo everything when I helped you forfeit your lot in life? I always assumed the un we would come after that and we would all be together again Not like this Thomas Warren says no more future left to hurt you.

I'm assuming it's 76 76 dash m Very cool. I liked it um I don't really understand how all the pieces fit together like the like the reality warping events and stuff like I guess it's just It's anomalous. That's what it does. But like It feels like there's a lot of Things happening at the same time here. It's definitely a dangerous anomaly. That's for sure But uh Yeah, maybe someone maybe there's a breakdown that can explain why all these things are causing the uh The stuff popping in and out of existence and stuff like that like the large objects um Stuff like that that it feels kind of dissonant, but at the same time. I'm I'm sure there's a reason for it Yeah, as I mentioned last week, I know very very little about a class of 76 lore in general so this is Kind of just like a ride where sitting here trying to figure out what's going on and why and where Yeah, I know there's like there's references to other to other scp's, but it's relatively self-contained I was surprised that there's not as many like cross links. Um, but that's I guess that's good, you know, you don't want it to be too um Reliant on other pieces, you know, because considering it was a contest entry and whatnot Um, but overall very good work. I'm I know and It's a good read. It's spooky um Definite upvote. Yeah, definite upvote for sure A few a few spelling errors and stuff, but not I mean, that's a long piece. I'm not surprised But you should go back and reread it and look for those Beside shaggy, uh Shout out shout out to yuki 410 hoa 2333 and not gull who co-authored this Really? I don't recognize a lot of those. Um Just on the bottom. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known Yeah, it's got just the right level of mystery And there's enough that's going on, but it's not the main event Then they introduce one two is like the source for it, but Not in a way that I wholly get because I don't know 012 that well either Yeah, I'm not sure. It's been a long time since I read that one Maybe there's more of a connecting thread, but I think that that was like Like retro continuity like it wasn't actually a class of 76. Uh, yeah, it's not a class of 76 SCP. It's just included Gotcha Yeah And looking yeah, like there's no mention of syncope symphony or anything like that but uh Still, it's a good. It's a good inclusion. It works Yeah, it seems to be Symphony something new for this or is that a thing off on the side? It sounds it sounds familiar I feel like I've heard of it before but maybe not. Um, let's see. It sounds like something that would exist I thought it was like a group of interests that it was being mixed in with. Sure. Yes. Yes. Uh, scp 48 33 It's a musical supply shop known as syncope symphony I'm sure that's the same Regarding background in relation to contest theme About five years ago.

Could I reach the island in the first place? I'd have to wait another five years otherwise footnote As anticipated high brazil would again become visible and fully accessible on july 7th 1993 at precisely zero hours zero minutes In no time my attache's helped me from their ship to dry land Then from there to the site 3 security cord Here a limestone mott re mott residence is my home for the next six months Tomorrow is friday, but I won't be joining the rest of the city for their nighttime revelry. There's paperwork to do February 15th 1988 I was invited today to meet the new court wizard of the high brazil royal court a young man by the name of midder mclug Young is relative here These are people that routinely live for upwards of 200 years and being 40 years old to them is but a child Only a little older than I am as it happens However, it is old enough to receive a prestigious appointment. It appears I've never met a court wizard before nevermind a court wizard Uh, I guess the difference is the capital letters Considering I am a newcomer visiting nobility. I was to be accompanied with servants However, when the young royal subjects heard I was in town and with such an important mission They chose to accompany me directly My superiors told me that this was entirely out of procedure But no one would dare say no to the first and second in line for the throne The information I received on them was brief between midder and I in age By chance the two had been born one day apart the princess by the name of morirgan Merorane was the elder and tended to act more as twin siblings Both had attended isk exit Footnote exit the international center for the study of unified thomatology The world's foremost magical college morian and delbeth both went to the high brazil campus of the school Although they completed study abroad programs at other campuses Both had attended exit in their youth and were accomplished wizards Although not nearly as powerful as middier The pair were waiting outside of site three when I left for the first time since my arrival I'm getting notifications one sec. There we go Video log view attendees Dr. Kennedy Collins crown princess morirgane prince delbeth begin log Uh, do you want The royalty and I'll take the doctor Sure Aha, there she is The lovely human diplomat Salutations good lady Hello She bows before the two Your majesty's your majesty sees I wasn't expecting you. I didn't think our meeting with middier was until tomorrow It isn't We wanted to introduce ourselves and take you out for a meal There's an excellent location down the street owned by the deathless merchant of london though the food is good We should note it had been under his ownership for over a hundred years before he became the deathless merchant of london After but before the current occasion to be fair Ah, then I'd be delighted The trio walks down from site three to the aforementioned restaurant enters and is escorted to a private rooftop table Food is brought out without being ordered We called ahead of course nothing with the finest for the pair of us So we hear you are to meet with our dear little middier We went to school with him, you know Let's hear about you first Is this a test am I at risk of losing my appointment with him? Not too likely unless you offend us deeply Ah To start with I'm an agent of the scp foundation assigned to the diplomacy division I was sent to the island to speak with the court wizard out of growing foundation interest in your thaumaturgical workings That word always amuses me color what it is magic More we ain't more roane waves her hand in an arc leaving a trail of sparks in the shape and colors of a rainbow suspended in the air They fired me for that I think Maybe just a reprimand I'd agree with you, but I've had the right terminology beaten in my head over the years I've been with the foundation for well over a decade. They sponsored my graduate degrees after all And did they make you their loyal lackey then pressed into shape? I well I wouldn't go so far as to say that I agree with them on a great many of things But can't see the problems Regardless, there are a few who do what they do I don't think I'll ever leave the foundation just for that simple fact We've encountered all sorts of types over the years all sorts of agents of all the various groups who've come to this island Your foundation the coalition the hand all those churches all the rest If not us our grandfathers, so we need to speak to you first see what makes you tick So why did you come here? I was ordered here And how do you feel about it then? Excitement unbelievable an island straight out of legend filled with magic and the fair folk I would never imagined anything like it. Like I said, there is no job like this in the world No job like this in your world not ours Let's see how this little meeting with me here goes. Perhaps there is a permanent potential for you And log February 16th 1988 The following was a part of a series of royal apartments I had with court wizard middier in which he personally provided me with a firsthand look at one of the scp 7010 instances Because of the events that transpire in this log However, only this sole appointment could be completed As with many of our forthcoming encounters today's was recorded by an audiovisual device planted on my person Dr. Collins and some royal court sanctioned equipment planted in the vicinity Video log view attendees dr. Kennedy Collins crown princess morrowan prince delbeff Sir middier macalug court wizard Begin so how about you keep those two royals and I'll take the wizard as well sure Begin log the prince and crown princess flank dr. Collins on each side The three stand before the court wizard who levitates Behind him the ground is demarcated a narrow strip of flat loamy soil partitions a field from the rest of the area Within the soils that's of low royal hedgerows had been planted creating navigable gaps between them I hope you will forgive me for breaching the silence Today I am here with Pardon your honor. I wouldn't want to if I wouldn't have wanted to mispronounce your name I'll allow the indiscretion though next time he swipes his thumb across his Adam's apple. I'll laugh Oh, they told me about your japery. I'm ready for it. Believe me. I am Promise to keep me on my best behavior, will you? I've yet to have my smoke today, which I should be having very very soon I'm all business today your honor Very well the ward is just over this hill. I wish to show it to you They cross the soil and enter the untrammeled field beyond If I may ask your honor, who is the owner of this land? You insult without knowing doctor Oh, I What I suppose I mean is who looks after it when nobody else is around Well, at times there are interlopers with the serpent's hand who pretend they are they are the wardens But really the ancestors are the true officers of this land They watch over it. They are the ones who tend to it Then what prevents someone from coming in meddling, you know with the ward The ward is impervious to all manner of meddlers There's so much you have still yet to learn doctor The four ascend a gradual slope three climb whereas middier floats How many wards are present across the island on the island seven And are all of them, you know, can you find them in such conspicuous locations as this? You have the wards, but you also have the things they're bound to even if the wards are protected I'm afraid you have the framing all off doctor I suppose I cannot blame you You and your organization are too beholden to your dogmas of containment But know this the material forces at play are inconsequential The majesty of our magical anchors, you say They dominate over our city the verdency that surrounds it the earth at our feet the sea at our shores and even the heavens above They are a triumph of too hot the day Wonderworking Right, you do seem to hold an extremely great degree of confidence in these wards I wonder if we could explore that There is no mere grandisement befitting of a guided tour. I am confident completely and utterly In my readings what shocked me the most was the age of these wards Many of the thaumaturgical bindings on the island were cast well before most residents were born And these wards in particular they've been at work for more than a half a millennium. It's hard to fathom With respect doctor, what's the implication? Let's consider this by analogy The buildings on the side that are gorgeous works of art. We might all agree with respect to your people They've also been here an exceptionally long time Yet even the greatest architects have trouble imagining passage of time on a scale of centuries Ever every wonder of the world needs to be maintained nonetheless But even as an academic especially as one you would recognize the majesty of these workings. Would you not? I would and I do But you cite set the point How do you maintain them and how will you know when to repair them? This is where the analogy crumbles Great sacrifices were made to complete these workings. They have stood resolute since the founding of high brazil Mortal words such as maintain do not even begin to comport with protective magics Oh, it's semantics your honor. Is it not? Huh, what can I say this is just what it is for all the books you have read you clearly have a fundamental misunderstanding Let me try a different tack As the city grows will the efficient with the efficacy of these wards scale with it Your population has already grown tenfold since the last occult war This is the most important anomalous city on the planet with a diverse populace and a history and culture worth preserving I have a pregnant test. How will the wards continue to ensure their protection? The four reach a lightly foliageed grove at the hill's crest overlooking the ocean At the center sits a monumental burial stone, which binds scp 7010 slash dash greek letter. I don't recognize Suddenly the ground gives way between morone and the collapse and collapses into the earth Morone screams then falls out of sight Prince delbeth turns shouts and then becomes a living shadow Blitzing across the hill once he reaches the cliff. He transforms back into a man face precarious over the edge Meteor and dr. Collins make chase to the cliffside The ground morone has was standing on exhibits a deformation of five meters It appears to have finally settled Morone's remains standing, but is pressed against the wall Princess quick. Are you? Ah, there you are She's out of breath palm resting on chest Nothing I can't handle Morone attempts to climb the side of the cliff delbeth waits to pull her to the top Great unscathed then wonderful. I may need to revise my earlier position Oh This section of the cliff it is just outside of the area is protected by the wards And as I go beyond it I can feel a terrible sensation growing around me A scratching and crushing feeling Is it just me or does the world seem a little darker to you a little colder? I'm I'm not sure what you mean meteor The court wizard shuffles towards dr. Collins and speaks in a lower register Misfortune has acumen accumulated around the outside of the city clawing at the wards Here on the border. We are almost cursed And if that unlock is potent enough that a cliff collapses as soon as a woman steps on it It may very well be that the unlock is eating at the wards Poor omens all around I will approach the rest of the court as expediently as they can be assembled But I want you to promise that you steal yourself before the proceedings we undertake I imagine you will play a key role in them Your honor believe me. I am more than aware of my can you do this for me To the best of my abilities. Yes, I will Very well Let us check on the others Dr. Collins teeters on her feet turns and succumbing to the shift in chance Vomits Our work is cut out for us and log February 24th 1988 The prince and crown princess very quickly declared that they would lay hold of the reins for this momentous investigation To their surprise Meteor overruled it seemed he would take matters into his own hands He would return with a solution once the requisite deliberations that had been through and Through with and preparations made Or so he'd said The resulting longest week of my life was held in the balance by half-measure reassurances about an esoteric magical system I struggled to keep pace with What punctuated my precarious new reality was the sudden dawning that the island lacked cable tv The Thaumaturgy underlying high brazil. I was told complicates matters in this regard Fortunately a treasure trove of film did exist I turned into the back catalog of chevy chase comedies in between my readings While Meteor returned early one morning. He took us to the royal wizard The two oath was named Dodga MacIngas a portly subordinate to Meteor His lair was on the clip on one of the cliffs overlooking the city the host of one of the wards If I had to describe him a self-serious Clark Griswald seems most fitting He even chewed the scenery like him Rise and notice edit passage has been stricken from the record Do not sarcastically talk about the vacation movies in professional documentation. Thank you video log Few attendees Dr. Kennedy Collins crown princess morone prince delbeth Sir meteor mccalogue court wizard sir. Dagda MacIngas royal wizard Uh, can you do a chevy chase impression or should I take a stab at it? Go ahead? You do it. I was going to take the character, but if I have to do chevy chase and And a wizard at the same time. I don't know Chevy chase the wizard A visitor. Oh, yes, please do come in. I wouldn't be up to anything important like quelling magic resistant planter warts Biden maith to you too, and I would certainly hope not. We have guests Hello, I'm dr. Kennedy Collins. I'm the newest researcher assigned to foundation site three It's a pleasure to a fresh face and just in time. I've whipped up a batch of my grandmother's toffee just this morning Dad guy, are you scuttered? You've gotten my communique. Haven't you? I have And what have you to say about it? This is urgent I'm not feeling particularly serendipitous this morning. So I've decided this means the wards are working fine Just as they would have been for the past 100 years and 89,000 some odd days Do not be such a fool. You would never enter a barracks and consult the soldiers in there for news on the front Nobody in the city would feel a thing until it was too late And you how would you know better? Because I've gone to the outskirts of the island and visited the tomb of noir the Argyllem Argyllem the first As I peered into the golden waters from over the cliff edge. I felt some wrongness A wrongness I have never felt in my life Our ancestors the ones who erected the very wards that have aided us for all these generations Said there were certain omens that come with fortune of the wrong sorts I've always believed those to be superstitions never letting myself become blinded by them But all in that afternoon. I felt it so vividly Like a stone in my gut pulling the rest of me down You stared into the sea and your tummy felt off Well, I've never met a landlubber more utterly parched Bright hell. When did you last step out of this ruin? Uh, is this how they deal with matters? This is how they puff their egos. It's how they show their affection I am perfectly safe here in my domain If you have come to persuade me you've done a piss poor job your honor The three who stand before you were present home that day Though their senses may not be as acute or as trained as ours. They can certainly attest But it matters not what I seek is your confidence If we have that we can begin our inquiry in earnest We can inform the high king and spur the full might of the royal court into action Did you expect me to flinch when you come in and say these things I flinch all right What's next shall we sack the king conspire against the moon? I expect you to think about a possible contingency plan This is all I'm asking for The wards are fine middier. I am embarrassed you would suggest otherwise Now either stay for brunch or go away and return again with your senses We are done here. Goodbye Dugda End log March 16th 1988 Getting audience with High King Nuwata was easy as was scheduling an appointment to hold a meeting and speak with him Moreone was after all the crown princess and saw him every day with middier a member of the court backing her The ease the meeting was easily arranged It was my job to get the site director Walsh to attend the meeting we had arranged Fortunately for my own part more had prepared a letter of invite with the royal seal I don't know if I would have had the sway to get his ear otherwise But with the backing of the princess I could get his attention We met with the king and walsh three weeks after our meeting with Dugda We didn't want to repeat it a last incident. This was going to be our only chance to see real change If we couldn't convince Dugda. This was our last chance Three weeks of assessing the wards gathering evidence conducting experiments Video log view attendees Dr. Kennedy Collins crown princess morone prince delbeth serve midir mclug court wizard Hi, king nuwata ergot lamb the seventh site director brenton walsh List just keeps increasing in size Indeed, how about you take uh the king and I'll take the site director perfect King nuwata is the last of the six in the meeting to arrive He enters the council chamber and strides to his chair at the head of the table Morone is seated to his right as delbeth beside her and midir to his left Site director walsh and dr. Collins are at the other end of the table flanking the foot I see. I'm the last to arrive. I could tell this is a serious endeavor Even called up the foundation for it. Although from the sound of it. This is an affair for the state daughter Well sire, it is our ultimate decision to make but it is with the assistance of dr. Collins that we come to our conclusions And it is with the assistance of director walsh that we seek to move forward I see. Well, I am not your grandfather I am no stranger to the council of the outside world If I had not valued the foundation, I would have not let them build their site that marvelous fortress And for that we remain eternally in your debt your majesty The matter we bring to you is dire my lord It concerns the luck wards. We've used to protect high brazil for centuries ever since we were treated here hundreds of years ago The luck wards. It is a hard to imagine life without them. I can barely even think of it You might have to The wards are failing We spent the past month doing rounds of investigation testing everything We went to dad gama kengis with our findings, but he didn't believe us Dr. Collins places three large black binders on at the table She hands one to director walsh and passes the other king to passes the other to king nuada the last she gives to middier These binders are filled with the last three weeks of us performing every test we could think of to evaluate the strength of the wards The results are undeniable Miss fortune has accumulated around the outside of high brazil and it is chipping and scraping at the wards They haven't fallen yet, but they could Hmm that bodes poorly. I'd admit King nuada begins to flip through the binder in front of him as does director walsh Why do you think this is happening some flaw in the wards a construction imperfection improper refreshing over the years? I believe that the wards are fundamentally flawed They seek to assert control over luck, but luck is that which cannot fundamentally be controlled Their purpose is an exercise in futility So you do not believe there was any way to fix them do you? No, I do not And how long do you think the wards will have before they fail altogether? No more than two years perhaps But they will fail at the worst moment possible no matter the circumstances Perhaps it will cause a plague perhaps a terrible storm Weather is notoriously boorish when it comes to probabilistic control what with all the variables Perhaps it will simply be a nasty succession crisis in the court the three of you indisposed for whatever reason There is no way to tell King nuada continues to look through the binders. He did not speak for several minutes The assemble group waits in the chambers for him to respond I must thank you for your advice mid here, but I cannot find the evidence that supports these conclusions If the wards were as bad as of an idea as you say, why have they not failed sooner? By all rights, they should have failed a long time ago I can't speak to why they haven't already, but they are on the verge of collapse This is the only one idea I have that makes any sense and I fear to speak it aloud They've been waiting for a tragedy a true disaster Why collapse 20 years prior when we live as long as we do and tremendous disaster awaits us A plausible theory, but the operation of the wards for as long as they have Works against it. There may have been many times in my reign when disaster could have come to these lands The seventh occult war alone brought no end to the challenges here And I should know that none of you remember that war all of you were born after Now the wards have stood in the past as no reason to believe they will continue to work I am telling you as your chief advisor on these matters that we are immortal peril I will commune with the ancestral spirits of those who have held your position They will be the final decision Father, you are putting the lives of the entire island our people in danger You will never survive a collapse Oh sweet morrigan, you should know by now how mighty our race is There is no challenge we cannot pass no battle we will not best If doom comes to high brazil we will meet it with force and conquer it There is nothing to be scared of you are dismissed That is all End log The king did as he said and spoke to the ghosts of the former court wizards They all disagreed with midiers analysis But of course they would Locked away in mausoleums of the palace They could have never known what condition the wards were in We need to find another way to save this island April 1st 1998 At 0900 hours on the first We made for the Ixit campus in the city center It was midiers Ixit professors A pair of brilliant thomatologists by the names of Ketterli and Balakwa Whose papers I vaguely consulted in an anticipation of our first meeting on the island I figured light reading on scientific magics wouldn't hurt I was making audience with elves And now we are consulting those very same people Mayhaps just as we are now mired in stifling skepticism Our paths were destined in those early moments By this point the binders have grown from three to seven One for each ward Video log View attendees Dr. Kennedy Collins Crown Princess Morrigan Prince Delbeth Sir Meteor McLoog Court wizard Professor Dr. Andrea Ketterli Professor Emeradius Emeritus Dr. Lyle Balakwa Ah, you take Ketterli, I'll take Balakwa Great One hour 33 minutes of dialogue omitted for brevity Four of the six attendees sit around a vast Ashwood conference table Dr. Collins stands to the right of the professors Across from the Prince and Crown Princess Peering over the work At the left most end Sir Meteor hovers in cross-legged position Contents of the now seven binders are strewn across every square centimeter of the table Fortune manipulation of fey provenance is unique in this regard I'll have to see a ward in person to truly grok the incurses of their workings Though looking at the timeline of the predicted failure, that's seeming unlikely Professor Ketterli looks up for the first time in a while You know, it's funny Like just as I'm flipping through these phomic design specs, it's striking my memory Back in the 50s, a handful of us graduate thaumatologists did contract work for physics And that as a footnote Yep, footnote, physics division, the action arm of the Global Occult Coalition They had us troubleshooting the massive technical overhead on a set of thematic probability workings It took years to sort out I didn't think our work was ever put to use They'd eventually been acquired wholesale by some highest bidder or other Some occult branch of the American government, I presume Anyway, those were state-of-the-art magic technology The same ones deployed against the eastern block as part of the anti-soviet containment policy But the funny part is, she gestures to the cluttered table, weighing them against these centuries-old wards Seven protecting an entire island. There was no earthly comparison Naturally, we were to conceive some means of replacing the two-ethan wards Book burner wonder-working would never muster a hundredth of their output He winks at Dr. Collins Although it would be a show of spectacular hubris Honestly, I'm feeling rewarded to have been able to grasp the fruits of your research, Mr. Meteor Sharp as ever Pardon Do you not see why it is so important that you publish? She continues, I at least see- Standing the binder's doc contents Great Well, the thaumaturgy is unequivocal. The wards will fail a matter of when, not if And when they do, the probabilistic backlash will create the unprecedented There will be inclement weather on high Brazil But Your findings clearly seem There are other conclusions which bear out from the data She casts a narrow but pensive gaze at Dr. Balakwa I thought that something was peculiar myself do elaborate It was about here that I had the gut feeling we weren't out of the woods just yet We knew the wards would fail. The thaumatologist was correct It wasn't something we could just rely on a contingency for as Meteor had first expected As he had been wanting the court's authorization to create This was a matter of exit- exigency But could there have been something else? Something that would skew the situations already dour trajectory I mean, hell, how weird could it get? There is not merely the presence of bad fortunes from without You have all made painstaking effort illustrating that No, there is most certainly a buildup of another force from within Is this a particular threat to our safety? Should I inform my supervisors? Dr. Balakwa shakes his head with vigor There is no threat per se, per se It's not a reciprocal function of the growing misfortune But there are certain interactions that can create a cause for concern Are you acquainted with the vital force? Not personally I'm sure it wouldn't take much to scrounge up the pertinent documentation The vital force is a building block of unified thaumatology It is the impetus by which any learned thaumatologist Can plunge the theory of magic for its practical applications But there are other ways it can manifest For instance, all living beings have some degree of vitality The somatic impetus or human desire that ensures the continuity of life And all living beings give off that vitality in a particular termed ilan vital Professor Ketterley pulls her glasses down letting them dangle from their retainers She then rubs her eyes His point is we can measure it Right, electrophotonic imaging The entire island would shine like yuletide in July, every single citizen Very keen, doctor Dr. Collins does a faux curtsy, they both laugh This is correct, albeit vulgar understanding The vital force is value-neutral But there are sources that give off ilan vital particles at greater quantities Thaumatological entities, indeed, are higher on the spectrum Submit to your smiles That's us But there are other sources still It has long been theorized that certain forms of belief Are contributors to their own thaumatologically significant particles Allow me to hazard a hypothesis Ever consider the High King's Dominion? His lineage has held the throne uncontested for the past 520 years The Tauta day have enjoyed legitimate governance Under their monarchy for that entire time And they've not just sworn feilty They exhibit an almost born allegiance to what it stands for For a people of this stature, you're looking at something pretty significant I had figured we were missing some pertinent detail A pregnant pause seizes the room Dr. Collins breaks the silence You're saying the palace has accrued its own vital force Another pause Dr. Balakwa suddenly leaves for his office Marking the end of the meeting Since we've all wetted our appetites for conjecture I think we've got everything we need I'm confident in your findings, Mr. Meteor And the prince of the princess The good doctor and I shall work on Our work to get your analyses condensed Then published in the quarterly Good chat So that's that Thank you Not so quick Balakwa's elucidation has opened a new avenue for exploration So we shall await the publication, of course And then One foot in front of the other End log That, in hindsight, was a heavily ironic statement Coming from someone who floats half of the time April 29th, 1988 Mere hours after the publication made its debut In Unified Thaumatology Quarterly We already felt the reverberations of our findings But it wasn't the wards Rather, the High King had summoned us to the royal palace A phalanx of servants appeared at the site Rated to usher me towards an impromptu gathering With the rest of the royal party I figured it was a routine follow-up to our last meeting But when I caught up with Meteor He looked painfully stoic He informed me in sober terms That the king had learned of the publication And lacking the capability to pull it from the university Declared that he would see us forthwith It wasn't a meeting It was a formal rebuke The royal party were handed punishments for their actions Dalebeth, seen only as a mere accessory Held the lightest sentence of the three He was simply sent away from the court An effective exile for the next few years But not official Meteor, on the other hand Was to accept that he would step down He would no longer preside over the royal court In the wake of this decision Dagda, at once his second-in-command Would now take his place Dagda hung in the back of the room During that entire admonition session His face was deeply etched in an expression Of self-satisfaction A smug effigy of himself The royal family would no longer stand In the wake of this decision Dagda, at once his second-in-command Morrigan had been stripped of her palatial duties I saw her face when the judgment came down I couldn't make out which emotion she masked Was she distraught or relieved Whichever it was The Crown Princess took no stand to the contrary And she swiftly complied Not that there was a choice in the matter Your behavior, the king told them Borders on insolence You have laid bare the centuries of Arcana Our ancestors toiled to keep a secret You did so to justify rampant speculation In the process you have put our entire city In jeopardy Director Walsh was also there He and I stood shoulder to shoulder We didn't speak a word to each other When the king had finished With his reprimands Walsh whisked me into a private anti-chamber He informed me that effective immediately My assignment was officially on hold Instead I would be placed Under a three-month administrative leave During that time I could go home Or I could remain on the island I've made up my mind I choose to stay Right now it's my calling May 2nd, 1988 Hi, King Nuara Revealed everything to the public this morning Here's what he released Forgra, notice To the Fair Folk of High Brazil Statement on the unlawful disclosure Of forbidden materials Lemeth Midday Friday the royal court learned That a quarry of forbidden materials Had been leaked at the High Brazil campus Of the International Center for the Study Of Unified Thermatology These materials concern the great wards That regulate luck and unlock Throughout High Brazil Fair people, allow me to come ahead Of the rumors There is no threat to our valiant city Nor the isles she rests upon A group of highly privileged individuals Have engaged in unprecedented malfeasance By leaking these materials They have tried to so discord Among the two at the Denan and her allies Not only that They have even sought to interfere With the safe operation of the great wards Let me be clear The extent of their miscreancy has been discovered A measure of justice Apportionate to their crimes Has been brought against them They pose no more threat now Than a pygmy shrew You may have You may have heard all manner of murmurs In the city, unease in the port Hush tones in the library I will assuage your fears For generations The great wards have been invaluable In preserving an ever present aura Of security in our nation With the prosperity they have guaranteed We are as strong as we have ever been Even if our great wards falter The great people of High Brazil Will stand firm The forefathers look down with pride If tested, we shall weather any storm Signed at Nuada Arguetlam The seventh We shall endure God, I think I'm going to be ill I am unsure as to when the royals And I will meet again My fear of reprisal barely skirts the irrational I'm going to lay low for some time Find lodgings in the city For now, there's nothing else Worth committing to my journal May 5th, 1988 There's still one thing about all this I've yet to fully grasp I've had my hand in plenty of diplomatic dealings Across my career Within the milu of the perinatural community And its various groups of interest And in the nations where the foundation is most active I've dealt with my fair share of powerful figures And there are the same commonalities In every one of them You notice a pattern writ large And it is everywhere It screams at you But as it towers so high above you So out of reach, you cannot possibly face it head on Even high Brazil hasn't been inoculated against it, I'm afraid In the midst of these thoughts I am reminded Of Hobbes and his Leviathan That pre-enlightenment treatise Written at the end of the English Civil War In an allegorical sense Its core premise involves mankind's Once-thought escape From an unjust primordial state of nature Have consciously I unravel the premise in negative space Again and again I begin thinking of it as a question Mankind's native Natural condition Personally, I consider that a BS notion altogether But if such a thing were to exist What could prevent our escape? The answer A conflict Of all against all That continually reasserts itself A conflict driven by passion In its many forms If this conflict Could truly be resolved Hobbes thought There is only one way By the command of a sovereign authority At the head of civil society It's quite a literal thing If society is the body The sovereign is its head It could move its arms and legs In whichever direction was necessary To support itself To keep control Head, body, appendages He had a name for it He is the Leviathan It wasn't so simple There was a certain form of passion So destructive it confounded even the sovereign It could despoil The holes of civil society Sure, its ruler Could maneuver society in the direction Necessary to limit harm to itself But it could never entirely stamp it out What passion? Vain glory Vain glorious men Such as without being conscious To themselves of great sufficiency Delight in supposing themselves Gallant men Are inclined only to ostentation But not to attempt Because when danger or difficulty appears They look for nothing But to have their insufficiency discovered Vain glorious men Such as estimate their sufficiency By the flattery of other men Or the fortune of some precedent action Without assured ground Of hope from the true knowledge of themselves Or inclined to rash engaging And in the approach of danger or difficulty To retire if they can Because not seeing the way of safety They would rather hazard their honor Which may be solved with an excuse Than their lives For which no salve is sufficient Hobbes 1651 Footnote Thomas Hobbes, 1651 Chapter 11 of the Difference of Manors Leviathan, page 124 Penguin books incorporated Madeir simply wanted to understand He wanted to find out what, after all these centuries Resisted the wards of high Brazil In too many ways He is the only one with enough courage To confront this knowledge directly To decide what should be done And with this courage He traced that misfortune as far back As inquiry would allow For a tuathon wizard This is remarkably far The people of high Brazil Might not presently be in danger But for how much longer Exactly can they continue to be protected Months? A year? With every fiver of my body I know it's wrong to sit idle And let consequences play out Because if we ignore the wards If we think we know better We alone are the arbiters of consequence Quotes force for ret Come what may For the people of high Brazil I wish for nothing but their protection I have scared myself into thinking There could be anything but And with this fear comes the doubts Lots of little doubts They buzz in and out of my head They tell me our data is flawed That it fits a reality only dreamt up The months we spent studying the wards A farce that's not true I tell myself Yet if we are correct Then is the High King wrong? I'm not laying blame in anyone's feet As the saying goes A good king will always act in the best interests Of his people And I think King Doada is a good king A cosmopolitan man A sworn leader Even still He thinks for the affectations of his ancestors Speaking through him They haunt our here and now When he's under their sway He can recognize the wards only in sacrificial terms What it took Is far enough They have always been enough I think I finally get it Misfortune Is not our adversary Not really Misfortune is not even the adversary That threatens SCP-7010 The adversary Of the Kingdom of High Brazil Is vanglory Once it is brought on a head cold It fouls the body politic And the Leviathan lurches blindly In the waters Despite all this I believe there may be some kind of remedy To vanglorious men It requires a certain humility A resolve to create students of the people And where there's students There in want of a teacher This means we must cultivate knowledge We must do our duty And reveal the truth to the people of high Brazil Then we can build new circumstances Of fortune on a bed of right thinking In a way We have already done this We publish our discoveries Having done so We supply the two at Tha de Danan With means to convince their king We planted the seed May it take hold and germinate Will it be enough I fear there's only so much time June 13th 1988 Get into the end I messaged you when I left To go get food June 13th 1988 If I remember this is an important date in the logs It came one day at noon The wind broke suddenly and the world shook The wind coming in was chilling Absolutely freezing You could see the clouds grow darker all of a sudden And fuller to block out the sun It was obvious something had changed Something awful Everyone stopped in their tracks And looked out to the ocean horizon We all knew where it was coming from It wasn't supposed to storm in high Brazil A dark shape upon the horizon Slowly and slowly growing larger by the minute When it reached a certain distance It raised a part of its head into the air The five eyes glowing in the darkness Bright enough to illuminate the scaly head At a certain point it stopped swimming And began to rise Further and further out of the water Five arms, five tentacles A beast crossed between Dragon and Kraken Formal way! Abomination Abomination from undersea Meteor swore next to me He looked off at the beast The Kraken with hatred in his eyes Rising from the table we were all sitting at He turned around to me Looking at Mordor who was already standing From her seat I found myself standing as well We have to get back to the palace The saying is going to... Meteor couldn't finish The spell fire of the beast That a terrible pale flame Had been lobbied at the palace A single burst of plasma Almost as if the beast had known he was saying that Half the palace was immediately gone And the rest hit by a shock wave and fire The beast had turned And spread the flames into the city Erasing whatever it touched The two too with us screamed in unison Their cry shattering the cafe we were sitting at And the road around us They looked in collective horror at the palace Left a smoking ruin Nobody could have survived that My hand floated at my gaping mouth There were no words Mordor looked at Meteor With a glowing light in her eyes I'm going to the palace I will save my father Meteor McLoog I command you Save this city and its people As your queen She jumped with grace onto the roof of the building And then into the air, flying off to the palace I never saw her again Meteor turned to me inside Go Go to your sight There are bunkers there Installations that can survive this attack You'll be safe there I must do my duty and defend this city With the rest of the royal wizards dead Defense of the city falls to me With that he ran off to fight the kraken Spells already crackling in the air around him Lightning launching from his fingertips I watched him in the kraken as I ran through the streets He stayed up there in the air Facing it until the coalition arrived I don't know how much longer he could have held it against it alone And I don't think he even managed to harm it all that deeply But he stayed there in the sky protecting the city Unlike myself Who retreated into a foundation bunker Deep below Helping no one June 22nd, 1988 Dalebeth had returned to the island As soon as the dust had settled Everyone knew at once what had happened And the title he held But he refused to accept a coronation until it was confirmed That his uncle and cousin were in fact gone Their bodies were recovered from the castle Ruins three days after the attack For all the power of the wizards of this island They cannot restore the dead to life Dalebeth folded after that And I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why Dalebeth folded after that And admitted it was time to begin preparations for his coronation What was left of the royal court Started working on the process immediately Led by Medir One of the few survivors With the palace a smoldering heap of rubble And much of the island destroyed Whether by kraken Or by nuclear bomb used to kill it There were few places to have the coronation Dalebeth chose to hold the coronation In a theater on the northern shore of the island Away from the destruction caused by the beast in the south Perhaps just for the coronation There would be some modicum of history made And the people could look past the destruction The ceremony itself was beautiful I was given a first row seat Next to director Walsh Medir led the proceedings Using the four treasures The stone of phall The spear of luge The clayme saluse And the cauldron of the dagada To a point, Dalebeth The ceremony was marked by distinct air of sadness It was evident how much smaller it was Than it should have been So much of the population had been lost The days after that were a whirlwind The city was a smoking ruin And the majority of Tuatha Felt it could not be rebuilt A sentiment shared by Medir Three days after the coronation He worked a massive spell Taking thousands of survivors through the mists To another world One where high brazil had not fell As part of the spell And the urgency with which he was working at Those who took his offer would be cursed To never return to our world The foundation immediately began to pull out Of site three and leave the island behind No longer a relevant operation center For them it seemed I found myself slowly working my way up To the site bureaucracy Or working my way up the site bureaucracy One of the few people who wanted to stay On the island to keep the skeleton site operational There's one small saving grace To all of this High King Dilbeth II's First act was to formally outlaw The practice of the luck wards For as long as he reigns High brazil will not taunt the workings of fate And bring their own doom upon them If only Duada had done the same And defile Enter level 5 credentials Welcome Overseer 051 is sitting inside a bedroom alone He is reading the documentation for SCP-7010 SCP-7010 when site director Collins enters She sits down around the table Across from him Overseer Everything appropriate sir There's 051 and 0510 Sounds good Everything appropriate sir Hmm, yes I cannot but notice you attached your own Personal diary entries to this file Not particularly in line With foundation standards Perhaps an abuse of your position Director Supplementary documentation that I found Appropriate I've read the relevant guidelines And I have full discretion over supplementary documentation sir So you do Good eye You didn't visit site 3 Just to read a file did you That document is digitized You can access it whenever you want No, you're right I wanted to speak with you about the anomaly You have the most experience With it as we'll say I do have to thank you for attaching your journals To this document I would have requested them anyway What about SCP-7010 The foundation Is considering reviving it As a means of protection at our most dangerous Sites and facilities Only in limited purposes I assure you Director Collins stiffens I take it you don't approve These wards These protections They didn't just get old and fail Because of a lack of maintenance That was part of it But they were fundamentally bad ideas They failed because they were doomed to it Those findings weren't backed up at large Keterli and Belakwa Who as I might note are still alive And have left higher education to join foundation payroll Don't agree with that assessment I was only a theory that you Made here and the new king seemed to share Which one which has never been Proven Because the island burned How many of us, how were any of us Supposed to do idle academics after all that Dalebeth had to run the country Madeir is gone, Moore is dead And yet We had people look into it and they found Nothing There does not appear to be a quote unquote Doom requirement All of our prototypes have run without issue There is no telling what Danger you have brought to the foundation We know What we're doing, far better than those Idiot leprechauns ever could Those elves Have known what they were doing for generations They have lifetimes to master the tasks They know how to work a spell Not enough to Figure out a luck word that didn't kill you Director Collins stares at 051 Her fist clenched against the table I'll be going now Take your time, I'll leave you alone You have free reign of the sight As you already knew Thank you for your time, Kennedy Director Collins exits the boarder room 051 watches her as she leaves And then retrieves a phone from his pocket He opens the phone and presses a number On speed dial 0510 opens from the answers From the other line Well She doesn't approve You could have

I meant 7390 I was going to say that's not That's not correct but 7390 I had pattern screamers in my head for a moment there This is Grimsley Trudge By Jack Ike I believe One of the Jacks Jack Walts Jack Ike Jack Ike Jack Walts is coming up That is a very black Not picture There are 9 offsets to this By the way It's a coin flip system I'm assuming we won't have to read all of them But we're going to do what we did last time And I'll do a reading of it And you'll do a reading of it with the opposite results That sounds like a great idea We'll do two with the random chance And we'll see what happens This is a very narrative construction Indeed I see the pros I'm going to disappear for a second to the restroom I'll catch up Perfectly fine So this is SCP-7390 Darkness Near total Lights out Curtains drawn Faintly illuminated from outside Not silent Muffled Distant sounds of a pre-drawn city The quiet hum of a ceiling fan The steady, fainting breathing of sleep Of course This is all ruined when the lone occupant's phone rings Its screen shining like a floodlight Rattling loudly on the night stand as it vibrates Blasting out an unwelcome Artificial ringtone Grimsley growls Pulled unwillingly from euphoric sleep Back into his tired body The memory of his dreams evaporates Replaced by numerous complaints And vulgarities directed at the Unthinking, uncaring phone He reaches for the night stand, his hand Searching the surface for the phone A small coin falls to the floor Before he finds it Yes, he growls Answering the call I'm sorry to wake you Mr. Trudge His assistant says, but we have a case Where? Death Valley, the details are in your inbox Grimsley sighs Rubbing his eyes with his spare hand Death Valley is at least two hours away Fine, thank you He ends the call Tossing the phone back onto the night stand For a few moments He stays in bed, simply staring up Into the pervading darkness His mind locked in a battle Simultaneously trying to organize itself For the day ahead and return to sleep The comfort of the mattress, bedsheets Stereos encourages the latter to win So Grimsley uses what little motivation He can muster to toss the sheets aside Sitting up and turning on His bedside lamp The room is mostly taken up By Grimsley's queen sized bed A television is mounted onto one wall Situated so it can be Watched while reclining Beneath it is a set of double drawers A small stereo system And an unused scented wax warmer A single large window Hidden behind the curtains Dominates one wall The opposite is adorned with an oil painting Of several dogs playing poker Fake, with the bedroom door To one side Grimsley stares blankly ahead for a moment Then vigorously rubs his face with both hands He picks up his phone Briefly noting the time 10 past four in the morning Then unlocks it, navigating to his emails A slew of unread messages greets him The topmost of which is dated to only Five minutes prior, which he opens His eyes glaze over the recurgitated spiel Quote, it's been an oopsie, fix it Going straight for the GPS Coordinates of the accident Which he pastes into his navigation app It's three hours away In the center of a desert One of the hottest deserts in the world In the middle of summer Grimsley sighs Just my luck, he mutters Luck, the word stirs in memory His eyes shoot to the night stand Baron accepting the lamp Grimsley put his phone down His eyes scanning the blue carpeted floor for a minute Before getting down and reaching under the bed It's a tight fit But after a moment of searching His fingers find a metallic surface Dragging it out into the light The coin is old Older than Grimsley by two decades And it shows clear signs of its age But over the past four decades Grimsley has become adept at caring for it Preserving the remaining vestige of silver It retains from its minting In 1959 He still remembers that discovery, too Seven-year-old Grimsley was given a handful of coins By his mother so he could buy a pair of Coca-Cola From a vending machine In went the coins Out came the coin Rejected At a glance it had looked like an ordinary quarter Silver color about the right size With an eagle dominating once one face But after two more rejections A closer inspection of the coin The animal was strange, smaller Less realistic And the writing and circling it was gibberish Except for a misspelled Republic The opposite face was completely wrong Gone was the profile of George Washington Replaced by a simple one between two leaves The year 1959 Below and something about someone named Mark In between Grimsley had no explanation For the coin's strange appearance And neither did his mother It captivated him The mystery fueled his childhood imagination And within an hour he was convinced It was one of a kind treasure from another world In later years He learned it was actually just a common single Duchmark that had found its way to America From West Germany But by then he was attached to his lucky coin And kept it nonetheless Grimsley turns the coin over in his hand Admiring the German eagle adorning it's back Had it come from eastern Germany There would be a hammer and a protractor instead Twelve years older The eagle held a swastika Grimsley's mother Would have recognized either Even she could have recognized communist and Nazi symbolism And immediately confiscated it Throwing it away and completely changing The course of her child's life Without the luck it seemed to bring He never would have paid any interest In probability and statistics Never would have found his way into insurance Never proceeded into investigative services Starting his own company Never noticed the abnormal trends Running across countless insurance agencies But always related to the same big businesses He never would have dug in to find the truth Never would have found the foundation Never given the choice Amnestics, to forget the truth Have trails explained by some Normal means and buried Leaving Grimsley to continue on with his Normal comfortable profitable life Or to accept a new job Doing the same work for different reasons Giving greater pay to make up for the business He would have inevitably have to sell But to delve into another world Look for improbabilities Hidden within impossibilities Blending in like a foreign coin Among a pile of quarters Indifferent to the options Grimsley had thought it fitting for the coin His gateway between two worlds To choose which way to go Now at the age of 40 Wishing he'd drunk less cola to keep more teeth He is one of the assistant directors Of the department of logistics Overseeing the investigations division Every accident and disaster related to transportation And duty bound to ensure they never recur Sometimes, even with his best efforts They do nonetheless Grimsley closes his hand around the coin Picking up his phone with the other And looking at the route once again Estimated time of arrival 20 past 7 Then a solid 12 hour work day With only 5 hours of sleep behind it All for something they didn't even Need Grimsley in person A name on the map Catches his eye He zooms out, spotting a small town In northeast of his destination, Beatty George should be in Beatty still He thinks, idly Rolling the coin across his fingers That's only half an hour away He could do the preliminary work And then I can catch up later It takes a few moments for Grimsley To find George's phone number But he stops, fingering, hovering above The dial button He needs a break though Over time for the past week trying to finish that Walker case Has he finished it yet? It could be dropping another case on him Before he's even finished the last A pause It wouldn't be asking him to do the whole thing though Just fill the gap until I get there I could sweeten it with a double and a half pay But still, I'd be getting him up now He might need the rest more than I do Or he might not He needed a tiebreaker With the quick flick of his hand And he sat atop his curled finger His thumb primed beneath it Ready to launch the coin into the air Heads said, I send George He said, tails, I go myself The coin rapidly spins And shoots straight up into the air Barely missing the ceiling before it comes back down Grimsley grabs it with the same hand Slapping it down the back of his other hand Then slowly removing his hand Heads or tails Go through the google one Flipping Heads Heads Heads it is Revealing the number one Heads Grimsley grins, my lucky day He dials George Hello It's director Trudge, a sigh Work I'm afraid so There's been an incident in Death Valley that I need you to look into I forward you the details Sir, I only just finished And I'm sweetening this with pay and a half But due the closest to the site I just need you to oversee it Make sure everything's recorded before it gets moved to storage Not the whole case, just a start A deeper, exasperated sigh Alright The call ends Grimsley feels a twinge of regret But it's too late to go back now Bringing again a canceling assignment would only make George angry by being needlessly awoken An email arrives Confirming George has received the forwarded information Grimsley returns the phone And coin to nightstand Turns off the lamp and goes back to sleep Bzzz For 40 minutes Grimsley growls, grabbing the phone again Yes Grimsley, he pales Sitting bolt upright in his bed Director, get to work Now the call ends Grimsley launches himself out of bed Blindly racing for the light switch, mumbling about the coin lying to him In two minutes he's haphazardly dressed Coining an acrylic case attached to a lanyard Around his neck He sprints out of his apartment, grabbing his car keys And locking the front door behind him He's out of town within 20 minutes Encountering the tail end of the traffic gen Moments before he turns into a highway If he left any earlier, he would have been stuck in the thick of it Three hours and two McMuffins later Grimsley parks his Ford Everest In a makeshift parking area Besides a collection of portable gazebos He's embarrassingly late to the party His own investigations division is already firmly set up Agents buzzing between the shelters While some stand in the edge of the hills crest Looking down at the stony slope beyond The moment Grimsley opens the car door A cool interior atmosphere immediately evaporates Fierce sunlight blasts down from above Filling the vehicle with scorching air Grimsley sprints to the nearest gazebo Signing into a logbook and pointlessly flashing His ID for confirmation Then grabbing a water bottle and going to the crest To see the accident itself Beyond is a narrow valley Not the titular death valley But a reasonably sized sibling of it That stretches from north to south Grimsley is left and right, respectively The opposite face is scarred by gashes And scorches that lead down to the main event The ruins of a bowing 737-400 Broken into several pieces All of which had tumbled down into the valley You are late Lance, Grimsley says, turning to his speaker You could have called me The director didn't need to be involved Lance simply stares back with his usual Expressionless gaze Lance, Grimsley says The expressionless gaze Lance, Scrimshaw, like Grimsley Is one of the several assistant directors For the Department of Logistics He too has his own iconic totem Whereas Grimsley always keeps the coin on him Lance is never seen without his Full bent tobacco pipe Which he now takes a puff from Blowing the smoke, or whatever it is Despite the obvious contradiction Lance always says he doesn't smoke Out of the corner of his mouth Beyond these, the two are an antithesis Though equally ranked, Grimsley is the least Of the assistant directors Scarcely spoken to outside of the work necessities And often left in the dark even then A small comfort to Grimsley As his obliviousness to logistics workings Minimizes the likelihood of being targeted Lance, on the other hand, is the bullseye He is the true assistant director of logistics Organizing and overseeing Generally everything throughout logistics Is global operation Acting as the stand in whenever The director is unavailable Leading to an erroneous belief Among new initiates that Lance himself is the director So what's the rush Why'd you have to wake me up at four in the morning The blackout window is Six hours Grimsley nods his head Tight but manageable We can probably get this moved Not moved, destroyed The whole incident must be resolved by the time the blackout lifts Grimsley's eyes widen You can't be serious You're giving me six hours to open and close an investigation No Six hours from the time of the incident Which occurred four hours ago Grimsley's expression becomes neutral Two hours Lance nods You realize it will take that long just for the removal team to get here They're already here On the opposite side of the valley I have ordered them to begin in 15 minutes Grimsley blinks You want me to figure out what caused this And under two hours while everything is being removed Yes No, this is moronic I'm not some miracle worker I can't just magically explain everything in a moment's notice Two hours is not enough time The blackout will end in two hours, Lance says The outcome of your investigation And its quality is irrelevant This area must be cleared of all debris and activity Within two hours that is not negotiable Understand? If you don't care about the findings, why did you call us here at all? An investigation must be conducted Grimsley throws his arms up Almost knocking the pipe from Lance's mouth He turns and face the wreckage Can you at least tell me why? No Fine Grimsley says, scowling But if this happens again If this ends up being important somehow It's on your head because the report is going to be rubbish Lance nods Gesturing towards the gazebos Grimsley walks a few meters towards the encampment Then stops turned back Lance is following him I will be overseeing your investigation, Lance says Taking a pub for this pipe After a few moments, Grimsley rolls his eyes and continues What do we have? He says, approaching several agents Writing out on and examining a group of whiteboards A lot of tired people who would rather be in bed One agent quips You can add me to the list I don't know how Tallerin manages it But seriously, what do we know? Not much George, the man Grimsley had called earlier Says, stepping out from behind a whiteboard Plane was a FM-2439 Onward to Las Vegas Mayday received at 0348 Contact lost seconds after The port engine appears to have exploded Tail broke off and landed in a valley north of here Grimsley turns to the valley It was traveling east It should have been But it looks like the pilots No survivors Turned south after the contact was lost Gauze of death The usual A second agent times in External examination Blunt trauma to head, chest, neck You get the drill Bodies are on their way to Area 137 for autopsy Grimsley turns to Lance Bodies, too Lance nods Grimsley scowls Tell them to start the moment those bodies get there Grimsley says, turning back to the agent I don't care what they're busy with This comes first And we're not waiting for a report either Get them on the phone And they tell us what they find As they find it If they argue They answer to me Flight data George shakes his head Haven't found them yet Double the search efforts What if you can We're gonna find those boxes in time We'll lose them If we don't find those boxes in time We'll lose them In time Grimsley gestures to Lance with his thumb Upper management says All this has to be slag metal In the next two hours Two hours But that's I've already had the argument I've already lost The cleanup starts in 15 minutes Just go with it What about cargo? Anything missing? Anomalous George frowns Manifest says it was over A half-empty mail run With some tactical Theo supplies shoved in Most of it's burnt to ashes And spread all over the place No list of anomalies Grimsley turns to Lance Unlisted, he says quietly Lance suddenly stares back Not in a waiting mood Were there any unlisted anomalies? Lance takes a long huff from his pipes From his pipe Any anomalies present in the wreck Must have manifested during the flight Grimsley shakes his head He recognizes the non-answer The two stare and stare at each other Grimsley's stare Trying to ply a direct answer From Lance's indifferent visage Sir, George says We only have 15 minutes We should get working A few moments more past Before Grimsley breaks off from the competition His eyes skim over the information Displayed around him Documents weighed down on desks Attached to whiteboards scribbling Trying to absorb it faster than he could Four hours to catch up on 15 minutes to catch up with 15 minutes 15 No 12 now So we start losing evidence We should focus on getting down there Making sure we haven't missed anything Before it's gone for good His eyes wandered to Lance's Distracted expression But there's a good chance There's something down there Lance won't tag along for the fun of it He's there for a reason And he sounded an awful lot Like his usual non-answers If you find anything We didn't put it there He didn't even say it was safe Just denying responsibility His eyes returned to the map of the area Pinned to a whiteboard The answer is down there And if we've missed it Sir, George says A moment's silence Then Grimsley grabs the acrylic case Hanging from his lanyard Opening it and pulling out the coin Heads, we go down again Myself included Make sure we've got everything Tails, we stay up here Play it safe And work on what we have He flips the coin Catches it mid-air And it slaps on its hand Flipping the coin again Flip it and flip Tails, okay Offset four Alright Tails Pull everyone away from the wreckage Grimsley says Pulling the coin away Divert them into the black box search Nobody enters that valley Without my approval Sir, we've been going through the remains For the past four hours, George says We haven't found any evidence of anomalous activity Grimsley locks eyes with Lance He has a single eyebrow raised Then we should have everything we need already The ensuing hour is far from fruitful Deprived of a full night's sleep And withering beneath the unyielding sun The attending members of Grimsley's investigation team Are lethargic, dull, and miserable Then we mean deadline weighs down In both a hope and interest The agents recognizing the impossible task And silently resigning themselves to Inevitable stricken, inevitable failure Grimsley does his best to lead by example Relentlessly scouring the amassed photographs And documents to awaken some internal resolve Or at least inspire it in others His efforts are entirely futeless Encouraging an odd few To renew their focus But every time one of them is sent off for treatment Heat stroke, scorpion stings, snake bites Or a section of the plane is removed That drive is stifled again As for new discoveries, few are made The additional hour atop the proceeding Four of analysis changes little There was at least the observation that the pilots Had tried to put out the engine fire But more concerning is the damage to the fuselage A section of three entire meters is missing Reduced to shrapnel with the three jagged Metal ends scorched black Two explosions, Grimsley says Rubbing his face in frustration One at the port side engine One other near the tail, also port side Connected, engine came first But they wouldn't have bothered with the suppressant Once the tail came off Could it have caused a second explosion? Burning fragments ignited something? George shakes his head It was too far back There shouldn't have been anything explosive there Unless the fuel tank was ruptured and leaking Grimsley bobbles his head, probably not They should have noticed the fuel level dropping And even if they hadn't It wouldn't pack enough of a punch But it definitely happened below the floor Right from the wave that metal was bent The two of them returned to silence Staring at the document stuck to the whiteboard before them Schematics for a Boeing 737-400 The model of passenger plane FM-2439 belongs to The foundation had purchased it from a liquidating airline company Hollowing it out for cargo use Trucks, trains and boats preferred Having larger capacities and lower maintenance costs But whenever times of the essence Air transport is the go-to It could be some new wiring or parts A bad cable could have kicked some sort of Chemical reaction between the plastic and the metal, I guess Better than nothing, follow it Lydia, get a hold of the service records Pull up everything that was changed in these spots These two spots since forever Lydia nods, turning to look at a spare laptop Honestly though, sir, the last time I saw something like this It ended up being I know, I know, Grimsley size, a bomb Which would mean it's intentional I'm just hoping it isn't Fifty minutes is a scrape to find out who did it Assuming we even can still A pause, the distant sound of a running engine A portable crane lifting parts of the wreckage Out of the valley for removal and destruction Lance is over with their removalist directing them He lost interest in Grimsley the moment He'd abandoned the wreck Keeping that out for something Grimsley thinks Watching it, waiting for it to be uncovered Director Lance will extend the deadline, surely George says Grimsley shrugs, probably not But we can at least see what excuse he comes up with Go fetch him, don't say why Just say that it's important You don't seem to trust him much I don't, not at all He gives me orders, I give him reports And everything else is just double speak and redaction To keep up with appearance Now, enough of that, we're burning time George nods, turns and then sets off For the other side of the valley Grimsley returns his focus to the photographs And documents I'll bet Lance knows what happens And what happened, and he wants to bury it Getting rid of the wreckage deals with the evidence The bomb had to be under the floor And the only way it could get there is maintenance Has Lydia got something? Lydia says Perfect timing, what? She turns to the laptop towards Grimsley A crew of seven were doing maintenance Behind the fuel tank just a few hours before the flight Grimsley grins, what maintenance? It just says a routine inspection Find the list of everyone on that crew And detain them all for questioning Lydia raises an eyebrow, detain? Something has changed there, one of them did it Or saw who did I don't care where they are or what they're doing Send our guys to grab them and grill them until they tell us what they were really doing Could have been an accident still Accidentally knocked something loose or what have you But that engine fire, that's still unanswered Was it a triggered? Was it a trigger? How? If they had a damn flight data The following portion is stricken It says found the flight recorders and nearby agents' shouts Holding a phone to one ear Perfect timing That's the end of the stricken portion Grimsley says, pausing for a moment Deja vu Bring them here ASAP and be ready to dump their contents immediately Now it's just a matter of convincing You wanted to speak to me? Grimsley turns to Lance Perfect timing His brow furrows He takes a moment to glance between Lydia, the agent on the phone and Lance Something to matter, sir? George says arriving behind Lance Nothing, Grimsley says It's just convenient timing Yes, I wanted to speak to you about extending the blackout No You haven't given me a chance to say what I've found Explain, Lance says Taking a puff from his pipe Well, we know there were two explosions I'm aware of this A pause, Grimsley scowls And why aren't you giving us more time? Things don't explode for no reason Lance takes a long drag SCP-6056 What? A series of explosions that occurred throughout Site 43 without cause There is precedent Grimsley looks to George Pull that one up and see if there's similarities George nods going straight for an available laptop You don't seriously expect me to just wave this way as bad luck do you? Grimsley says to Lance That blast is too big for it to be an accident It was brought down either by someone or something that we put in our 400s It will happen again Lance stares at Grimsley for a few moments You believe this was an intentional attack? I can't be sure, but yes, there's a good chance it was Which is why we need more time so we can figure out if or who and how Lance turns away Taking several long extended puffs from his pipe Grimsley checks the time on a nearby laptop No No? The blackout Are you kidding? Grimsley hisses, clenching his fist Do you think this is a joke? You wake us up at 4 in the day and morning You take us to work in an impossible deadline Admitting you don't actually care what we find And now what I'm saying is we've actually found something You're just ignoring us A few moments pause It's your turn to explain Lance We are at a sensitive juncture Lance says taking a puff from his pipe There are operations in motion that must succeed And factions that will benefit if they fail The time constraint is necessary because of this This area is not sanitized but once blackout is lifted The name discoveries you make regardless of the benefit Will be rendered totally redundant Of your division, you are the most likely to determine The cause of events between with these constraints That is why you are here And what happens if I don't figure it out in time Then we hope that it was a random isolated event And if it recurs, you must do better than next investigation The vehicle pulls up into the base camp Saw the occupants jumping out Carrying a pair of bright orange objects Struggling to come up with an adequate insult Grimsley simply turns away to join the agents With Lance falling behind Get these open now he says We need everything on them We'll do one of the agents says But Grimsley exhales loudly Pinching the bridge of his nose What? Some of the gear has just stopped working Can only dump these one at a time Start with the flight data then Agent Nod's getting to work Grimsley turns away shaking his head Just stopped working Right I'll bet another one mysteriously dies before we get into it What the hell is Lance even playing at? He's acting like some fairy tale villain Just being an arse for the sake of it Even he isn't usually this obvious With a bit of luck the flight data might give me an answer But if it doesn't He turns back looking between the orange devices And he begins doubting his decision What if the pilots knew something? He pauses Lance is looking for something on the plane Surely the pilots would have known about it Something that can give me a lead Grimsley tosses up between the options Unable to decide which to pursue Go for the recorder most likely to say How the plane went down or risk it in one That might tell him why After a few moments he pulls the coin He pulls out the coin Heads, cockpit recording Tails, flight data He flips Okay, again Heads Heads Alright Offset 7 And we get Heads Wait Grimsley says He stares at his lucky coin Experience says flight data will be the most illuminating But experience also says the coin points in the best direction Sir, do the cockpit recording instead The coin says swap What am I going to do flip again to decide if I listen Besides, Lance looks uncomfortable So there probably isn't anything in the data We would have stepped in if there was Or something Excuse me The agent odds, mildly displeased And then sets the half unscrewed black box aside To work on the other George turns to Grimsley from his laptop 6065 Was shock waves, not explosions And it wasn't entirely random There was evidence it was an accident caused by someone But we don't really know who or how they did it Grimsley casts a little sign along Glare at Lance who simply takes a pop from his pipe Maybe that's something An accident he's trying to cover up For a few moments Grimsley idly juggles the coin In one hand, surveying the dwindling Activity around him Has anyone heard anything about those Bodies yet? No replies Someone give me the number for 137 I'll find out George nods giving the number to Grimsley As he puts the coin back in his case Pulls out his phone and idly walks over to the The edge of the valley The wreckage is almost completely gone 40 minutes or so and all that remains There are a few sections of the fuselage The rear most to the wings and the cockpit are long gone And the tail section has probably already been dealt with The call connects Grimsley goes through the usual motions Ensuring the line is secure Identifying himself then asking for a area's morgue He watches as the cleanup crew attach One of the remaining segments To a crane preparing to remove it Morgue This is assistant director Grimsley Trudge Investigations A pair of bodies were sent to you over an hour A sigh Where are they coming from? Death Valley crash site, two bodies Yeah I heard you the first time Just give me a damn minute Grimsley blinks Excuse me, a pause, sorry sir We've been getting flooded at the moment It's kind of hard keeping track of everything What happened? Flooded Literally flooded, I'm currently waiting through Waste High Water that's contaminated With defrosting corpse juices To get your answer for you Isn't that the only one having a rotten day Doesn't sound fun Could be worse, there's a floor below That we need bodies from Two pilots, FM 2439 That's the ones Arrived, autopsied, shelved Must have forgotten to report it Just a synopsis please The crash killed them Broken faces, crushed chests, that sort of thing Traces a blood belonging to a third individual though Grimsley's fur Brow furrows Belonging to who? No idea, can't get any more samples now Though since they're both below the waterline Right, thanks anyway Grimsley sighs, hanging up And pinching the bridge of his nose, lingering for a few moments Before returning to the concentration of activity The cockpit recording blackbox is open The agent removing the chips from it And plugging them into a computer Lydia is busy talking on her phone She shakes her head when Grimsley glances at her And George is following suit Although he ends his call after a few seconds Anything? He says How many people were aboard that plane? Grimsley says Just the two pilots, why? Did anyone get hurt down on the wreck? Cut a hand or something? George glances at the other agents around They all shake their hands or shrug There was blood from a third person, any ideas? Everyone looks to each other, confused Except Lance, who raises an eyebrow From who? He says The way of knowing, the morgue is flooded Why? Who do you think it could be? Grimsley turns around and steps away Pulling out his mobile phone and dialing someone Grimsley's brow furrows Then his eyes wide A third person in the cockpit should show up And, got it The agent working on the recording says Pull two hours, skipped to the last 15 minutes Grimsley said, taking a seat beside him Putting on a pair of headphones A garbled, intelligible mess An intelligible mess of rapid speech plays through the headphones The agent skips through the majority of the two-hour recording I'm telling you, take her out Great. Oh yeah, I'm going to take your advice On double speed, Grimsley says Now this conversation flies by Intermittently peppered with flight adjustments That Grimsley repeats for everyone to hear George taking the initiative To transcribe The topic shifts continually Advice on restaurants around Los Angeles Where to buy shoes, upcoming movies to see Then a rant about the Marvel franchise Do you hear that's where That's what is where Stop, Grimsley says Normal speed, go back a minute The agent nods, two minutes to impact Being you, secret Wars is going to suck There's no way they can wrap up phase six without doing some Stupid multiverse reset like they keep doing in comics Then they'll just start this all over again Adult, faint noise occupies The silence between speech Fantastic Four was pretty good Fantastic Four had a low bar Sure, they kept that guy from the office But the thing was a terrible actor They extended silence As he focused on the sound slowly growing in volume Do you hear that There's a noise, Grimsley said Like a metallic scraping or wheezing Shuttered like it's coming through a fan What is, where is that coming from The sound continues to grow in volume Someone else catches Grimsley's attention He presses the earphones against his ears Stranding to hear Seeing altitude to A faint dull thud What the hell was that Carol engine is another thud Then a distinctly louder thud An explosion A swath of alarms go off Joined by the sound of the outcraft Shuttering through turbulence Several more faint explosions join it Bank right, bank right, May day, May day This is Foxtrot Mike 2439 We are Grimsley winces at the volume of the next explosion It's the largest or closest of them all We are hit, we're hit Get the deafening sound of tearing metal And then setting Total silence Grimsley takes the headphones off Dropping them to his desk He ends back in his seat Covering his mouth with one hand Staring blankly ahead Sir, George says, a pause Lance finishes his phone call Returning to the group He notices everyone staring at Grimsley And follows suit Shot down, Grimsley says Turning to stare at Lance The plane was shot down Explained, Lance says Brought furrowing Several explosions Sounds like one hit the engine Another the body But the pilots saw them Banked south to avoid them And specifically said they'd been hit What about that wheezing noise? What was that, George says? Lance raises an eyebrow Metallic stuttered wheezing Grimsley explains I have no idea But there were voices too Fainter than it was Two extra people I couldn't hear that much But one of them mentioned a quote Carol engine Lance's eyes widen He sternly marches across the gazebo Straight for the computer Ripping the recorder's Cards out of it And showing them in his pocket This investigation is concluded Now hold on Grimsley says Jumping to his feet This is my investigation I'll decide when You were required to determine The cause of the incident You have now done so Surrender all evidence Clear the area Submit a non-copied report Direct to me And the matter is concluded We don't even know I will direct further investigation Into this This is not a conclusion Of the matter Only your involvement I will take action to ensure This does not recur Hey pause Lance takes a puff from his pipe Meeting Grimsley's glare With an indifferent stare You can't just work us half the death then You and your staff may keep the remainder Of the day to yourselves And it says In addition to tomorrow Clear the area And submit the report Grimsley shakes his head Then throws his hand up in the air Do as he says Lance nods Returning and stepping over The valley's edge Whistling to get His workers attention That's it George says Everyone around Sets about their tasks That's it Won't he just hide this? The important bits definitely The director might get the truth But none of you ever will And you try poking around You'll just wake up tomorrow With no memory of this Wondering why Lance demoted you We've all done what we can We must accept it We must just accept it And move on George nods frowning He turns to pack up At the laptop he had been working on Leave that I've got to do the report And hey Vegas is just around the corner You could do it with a proper break After all this That cheers him up He heads off Grimsley taking his seat At the laptop He logs out of George's account Making a mental note To remind him about it And into his own Opening the program he uses To write his report He glances at the valley's edge Just in time for Lance's head To disappear below it He opens a search engine For the foundation's database Carol engine No results Carol engine Uh Oh with an additional L Results SCP-7930 I'm sorry 7390 Grimsley closes the search engine Opening the main catalog Types in number 7390 Then opens the file Confidential Security clearance level 5 Department of Logistics Assistant Director Lance Scrimshaw We've got a Portal Extramensional And electronic affecting Cards Type E Conditioned State D4 VDIS 5 7390 Image redacted Special Container Procedures SCP-7390 is currently redacted The Department of Logistics Is redacted Redacted Redacted SCP-7390 must redacted Redacted By unauthorized members of Distributed Task Force Epsilon-7 Sign here please And Division 6 Guns and Roses Redacted Redacted Redacted Redacted Redacted Redacted SCP-7390 is to be terminated Security protocols for redacted Must be strictly enforced As a result The unredacted version of this file Is restricted to level 5 Logistics With all potentially sensitive documentation Redacted at general level 5 Distances and below Description SCP-7390 is the Carol engine A redacted redacted produced by Project redacted redacted redacted redacted redacted Semi-autonomous defense system The design, technology, and functions Of SCP-7390 Derived from redacted Redacted Significantly more robust redacted Which appears to incorporate redacted From an SCP redacted Throughout it Further information regarding redacted redacted Is available in the documentation of the project Redacted SCP-7390 Includes a redacted redacted Redacted et cetera et cetera Redacted Randomly selected aircraft Resulting in redacted Occupying the redacted As such as projectile fire Whether hazards or anomalous influence Will instead redacted This enables the SCP-7390 redacted redacted redacted At the expense of redacted redacted aircraft And consequent redacted redacted redacted As a result, SCP-7390 Is intended for use only as a last resort For the duration of redacted redacted All individuals and recording devices Within and around redacted redacted redacted Here is stuttered metallic scraping Or wheezing noise Redacted redacted redacted redacted redacted Perceived in SCP-7390 The cause is unknown Due to redacted redacted SCP-7390 is theorized to be directly responsible For an unknown number of historically redacted Significant aircraft losses Potentially including the disappearance Of redacted redacted Redacted suspected translocation Due to anomalous influence Redacted redacted SCP- Year 2020 Redacted redacted redacted Civilian aircraft had disappeared while enroute from Redacted redacted to Redacted redacted redacted Years...

Is this 5.79? One is... The description is redacted completely Fun I liked it I really like the choose your own adventure thing I think that works really well with the coin flip mechanic And I do like how it seems like the choices are Significantly different And I wonder how these outcomes will Will change You wanna give it a go? Yeah, let's take one more swing Alright From the top So we've already read page one Which brings us to our First coin flip So this ends at deciding If we're going to send George ahead Or if we're gonna go ourselves Yeah, I got heads But you wanna do another flip to see what you get? Yeah, I wanna keep it lucky So we'll see what we get Thankfully I got tails So we get to see something new To reveal the eagle Tails Grimsley size Fine He puts the coin back on the bedside table Tails up Then sits on the edge of his bed Staring blankly at the lamp After a few moments he rubs his face furiously Staving off the still encroaching desire to sleep And stands up Come on Gotta go Come on, get moving His apartment is small Consisting only of three rooms The main living area A living room and a kitchen Divided only by a bench His bedroom And the bathroom bedside And the bathroom beside A hot shower helps him to wake up The sound of the water echoes through the home Interrupted by and disturbing no one For Grimsley lives alone He has been considering getting a cat But has yet to act on the idea Once in his uniform He fishes an acrylic case from his bedside table Puts the coin in and dons the attached lanyard Breakfast Two slices of toast Both buttered One with raspberry jam Instant coffee Made in a thermos The latter goes with him as he leaves His travel through the city streets Is fine at first But his heart sinks when he turns onto a highway Searching he spans a bumper to bumper vehicles The nearest turnoff is five kilometers away And in 40 minutes When the congestion finally clears He's only moved by two Had he slept in and left later He could have avoided it entirely That is what happened, yes Three hours later Grimsley stops his Ford Everest In a makeshift parking area Besides a collection of portable gazebos He's embarrassingly late to the party His own investigation's division Is already firmly set up Agents buzzing about between the shelters While some stand at the edge Of the hill's crest Looking down the stony slope beyond The moment Grimsley opens the car door The cool interior atmosphere Immediately evaporates Fierce sunlight blasts down from above Filling the vehicle with scorching air Grimsley sprints to the nearest gazebo Signing into a logbook And pointlessly flashing his ID card for confirmation Then grabbing a water bottle And going into the crest To see the accident itself Beyond is a narrow valley Not the titular death valley But a reasonably sized sibling of it This stretches from north to south Grimsley's left and right, respectively The opposite face is scarred by gashes And scorches that led down to the main event The ruins of a Boeing 737-400 Broken to several pieces All of which had tumbled down to the valley You're late Grimsley flinches at the voice Lance, what are you doing back here? What are you doing here? Lance simply stares back With his usual expressionless gaze I'm wondering if this is all The same text as before This offset does homogenize with the others But it's the only one that does It was really supposed to lead off elsewhere But I had to cut back due to time constraints So yeah, this is the description Of Lance Scrimshaw that we got Puff from blowing smoke Equally ranked, the least of the assistant directors The blackout is six hours Manageable, we can probably get this move Not move, destroy The whole incident must be resolved By the time the blackout lifts You can't be serious Lance stares back with a different gaze You're giving me six hours To open, close, and tie investigation No, six hours from the time of the incident Which occurred four hours ago Still the same, still the same Can you at least tell me why? No But if this happens again If it ends up being important somehow It's on your head Because the report is going to be rubbish Lance nods gesturing towards the gazebos Grimsy walks a few minutes Towards the encampment Then stops turning back Lance is following him I will be overseeing your investigation Why? No reply After a few minutes Grimsy rolls his eyes and confirms And continues What do we have approaching? A lot of tired people Who'd rather be in bed You can have me to list But seriously, what? Wait, George? You're here too? George, the man Grimsley Had considered calling earlier nods I was nearby So I had to come in I thought you'd ask for me Not me, but I'm glad to have you here So what do we know? And that's how we get George Back in the story Not much Plain was in FM 2439 On route to Las Vegas Mayday received at 0348 Contact last seconds thereafter It was traveling east It should have been But it looks like the pilot No survivors turned south After contact was lost Cause of death the usual Alright, keep it on Rollin' down The rest of it is identical So thank you, Jack Ike We're gonna skip ahead To the next coin flip Our next question is Are we going to Grab the Going down to the canyon Or are we gonna ignore it? Coin flip Luck of the Irish Let's see what we got Tails again So this is what we did before Which is pulling down Pulling everyone away from the wreckage Because we're not gonna find Anything cool down there So this is all the same That we just read then Don't seem to trust him I give him orders I give him reports Double speak Keep on running Aware of this 6056 The blackout It's your turn to explain land Sensitive juncture Starting to redact things From the dialogue He's acting like some fairy tale villain Just being an arse for the sake of it Heads cockpit recording Tails flight data He flips Last time we got Heads it seems Or tails it seems We got cockpit last time So we didn't do flight data Let's see if the coins Give us the same response They put us on heads So Are we at the same ending? Yup We are back to the age ascending Yup Alright Well Fate Certainly had that in the cards for us Yeah Alright Well Frustrated I'd rather to see something new All I got to see is exactly What I thought That we avoided the traffic jam So we avoided the traffic jam We got George there anyways Those are our two differences And our two runs Otherwise everything we got Was exactly the same It does look like the other one there That last choice That other ending has more More knowledge That's being revealed about the actual anomaly I was about to say I want to see one more ending So I'm going to go to tails On this last choice Cheating fate So now we are looking at The Flight data Rather than the cockpit And gets tails Grimsley nods Yeah Figured Sir George says Returning Nothing Grimsley replies Putting the coin away For the last time that day The file George shakes his head Shock waves Not explosions That it seems to have been an accident Caused by someone else Grimsley casts A side-long vent at Lance Who takes a pipe Puff from his pipe Who No idea But probably us Or different us Off in some other timeline Reality Storyline Searches for an apology In their own voice And that was the end of it Grimsley's brow furrows That's it One of them Oh never mind The point is The anomaly isn't relevant Right? No it isn't But remember that incident I said I looked at last year That was scripted out You think it's relevant? I had a hunch So I looked up my report On the database There's another report with it This is the third crash Like this in eight months Routine foundation cargo run Portside engine fire All Aft fuselage explosion Both pilots dead That was scratched out Grimsley's eyes widened This is the first time Hearing of it This is because He isn't supposed to Grimsley being a mundane Human lacks the capacity To keep track of every Isolated accident that Occurs throughout the Foundation's global operations Thus Investigations typically Only find their way To him once a pattern Is recognized One is isolated Two is a coincidence Three is a pattern Get me those reports George nods Returning to the laptop Three employees All bomb cargo runs Three employees All bomb cargo runs There has to be a connection Between them Which means we've been infiltrated I should tell Lance Even he will budge In light of this Or would he Grimsley remembers Lance His ongoing persistence To impede the investigation And functionally Every non-over capacity He can He looks to Lance Hovering over the agent Working in his own black box Watching, waiting An idea pops into his head He scowls That's what you're doing You obnoxious You're calling me You're calling me You're calling me You're calling me You're calling me You're calling me You're calling me You're obnoxious You're covering it up Trying to get us the rule This is isolated Hide the pattern You're compromised If they've got him They've got the whole of logistics He's got access to everything They may as well have The director Grimsley pulls out his phone Stepping over to the valley's edge For privacy And making sure nobody Especially Lance is following He opens his phone contacts Scrolling through to the director's number No name listed Just the title and department And dialing it Come on, come on, answer A phone rings somewhere behind him Grimsley pales, hearing an approach It stops Grimsley connects to Lance's Message Bank Redirected call Oh, shit Grimsley hangs up And turns to face Lance The two are the same height Yet Grimsley feels as though He is a fold two or three feet shorter Shriveling like a herring That's stricken out in the sunlight Lance stares, waiting I need to speak to the director Grimsley says Regarding Confidential Lance doesn't take it He is unavailable I will inform him for you Grimsley shakes his head Has to be direct He would inform me otherwise Grimsley says nothing Lance raises an eyebrow Please, please For the love of everything Someone give me an excuse Got it! The agent calls Needed Grimsley blurts Jumping past Lance to get back to the group Filling laptop screen is a myriad of graphs, diagrams, and values Reflecting every recorded aspect of the aircraft Over the duration of its flight, altitude, speed, inclination, fuel consumption GPS coordinates Every single signal sent from any part of the plane to anywhere else A copy of everything that happened Used together, the information could be used to perfectly replicate the flight in simulation Right up to the moment the data recorder disconnected from the airplane Everyone Grimsley pauses to hear the clear throat Everyone frees on this Search it all Find every single inconsistency Are you alright? Says the agent Fine, can you uh Grimsley shakes his head Trying to regain and organize his thoughts Bomb Fire Engine Extinguisher Extinguisher Signals He says The agent nods They navigate through the program Pulling up the record of signal sent to and from the engines Huh They say They point to a graph on the screen Engine fire started exactly 7390 RPM A few seconds later Oh, that part's stricken out A few seconds later Signal for the fire retarded To go That's the last thing it received Everything else just stopped a few milliseconds later Grimsley frowns Exactly 7390 RPM Stricken out The agent searches the screen for the recorded engine's RPM Which he hasn't either noticed nor mentioned yet Huh, yeah Exactly 7390 RPM Stricken out The agent mentions to Grimsley that this must be coincidental Though both engines had reached double that speed earlier in the flight And would have failed if it was significant This reminds Grimsley of George's earlier moniker One is isolated He accepts this and moves on Grimsley covers his mouth in the hand thinking Last signal His attention turns back to the airplane diagram on the whiteboard As he tries the best to ignore Lance's staring Stepping over Grimsley locates the black boxes on the picture Tracing the wire connections with one finger George Yes, sir Come here a moment George does Engine fired exactly 7390 RPM Grimsley says, knowing full well that it is irrelevant Cannot possibly be significant A few seconds later The last signal is for the fire suppressor Everything stops then Bigger blasts sever the connections Grimsley points to the black boxes Then repeats its tracing of connecting wires Running through the port side wall of the fuselage He stops halfway along The wires run under the floor He says tapping on the diagram On the port side Straight through the explosion Less than half a second between the two George nods understanding The bomb was wired to the black boxes connection Just behind the fuel tank Engine rigged to catch fire When the pilots try to put it out Kaboom Grimsley nods He notices the papers in George's hands Stricken out George nods handing over the insignificant reports Even knowing there's nothing in value of them And no possible way the incidents could be linked together yet He rudely decides to waste the superior's time And whatever trees were ruthlessly shredded For the 200 pages of paper He has printed each on For this, George feels guilty And decides it would be best to preoccupy himself With something more productive for the rest of the day Like staying away from Grimsley Except when actually needed Thanks Can you call Area 137 Find out what's going on with those bodies I haven't heard anything from them on Yet On it Glancing over his shoulder Grimsley quickly steps Around to the other side of the whiteboard Using it to hide from Lance The reports comprehensively go over the investigation Of two previous flights Neither of which are relevant to FM 2439 yet FM 3924 Overseen by George Trellis Destroyed en route to Chicago Eight months ago In FM 4239 Rearheaded by Gregory Taloran Grimsley stops Reading over the names again George Trellis FM 3924 Gregory Taloran FM 4239 Grimsley Trudge FM 2439 What the hell? He opens the first report Deciding to waste his time By skimming through it Knowing full well He doesn't have enough time To read it properly And that there almost definitely Isn't anything significant About the pure coincidences He didn't just pick up on The more he reads The more his heart sinks Filling with dread At the knowledge he is wasting Valuable time On a stupidly fruitless endeavor And should be off being productive By helping Lydia with her phone calls It's as if he's reading The story of his day In past tense A sheer coincidence And nothing more Early morning crash Time constraint Due to external factors Crashed on a highway Apprehension to investigate The crash directly Suspected anomalous contamination Blackbox has recovered late Data analyzed Engine fired exactly 7390 RPM Bomb wired into the blackbox signals Detonation when fire's the present use Signal didn't reach the canister All of that Parts stricken out He swaps to Gregory's investigations For no particular reason Other than to look like An idiot cowering Behind a whiteboard Searching through several Hundreds of pages Instead of confronting the fact That his micromanaging superior Is very obviously A traitor spy Rep-repon-responsible For at least three destroyed Foundation aircraft The loss of probably All cargo on all of them And hiding an unknown amount more Something he should be dealing with now Instead of laying the corruption fester Even if for a few minutes more Early crash Time constraint Apprehension Blackboxes 7390 RPM Signals rig Detonation That part's stricken out George grimsley screams For no damn reason Because he's an idiot Grabbing everyone's attention To his blatant stupidity And making them all doubt If they should listen to him at all Is this your report Accurate George nods Knowing it is And too nervous to approach This obviously insane boss In fear that it'll get shanked Or something Grimsley shakes his head Resting a hand on his forehead And pacing I knew it I knew there was an anomaly Here We're in it Stricken out Sir George says Concerned for his good friends Rapidly degrading Mental instability George trellis Gregory Tallerang Grimsley Trudge GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT GT report. Adam Celebes? Yeah, him. How did you catch him? Grimsley says, flicking through to the end of Gregory's report. Georgia's an answer. Grimsley stops asking. Grimsley stops doing what he's doing and goes back to what he's supposed to be doing because he's supposed to be doing it. How did you catch him? Uh, shape. Found a shape carved in the back of the fuel tank right at the end. Three spirals. He'd been mentioning to his friends. They mentioned it to us. We searched his house. Found the place full of drawings, spirals and groups of three. He said he'd written a story that generally matched the events. Changed names in places but the same beats. Took it as premeditated. All of that struck out. Three spirals. George nods. Grimsley abruptly loses his last vestiges of sanity and begins slamming his head into the whiteboard until he loses consciousness. He is in a coma for 15 months because of it and upon awakening realizes how stupid he was and that he should have gotten help sooner and stopped doing the blatantly incorrect things that he was doing leading up to his psychotic break. Grimsley shows a page. Struck out. An overwhelming sense of monolithic dread crushes Grimsley's soul yet somehow leaves a tiny vestige enough for him to know that he should stop now and get back on task. Audrey Smith did the same four months later. Symbol and story. What the hell? Get down to the wreck. Find the symbol. George Sprint's into the valley. Lydia. Is there anyone on that crew with the initials AS? She takes a moment. I got an Andrew Sloan. Victor speaking to him. Strike through. No one else. She shakes your head. It's him. Search his house. Find pictures of spirals and a story about this. Get him on the phone. Struck through. Explain. Lance says no. Shaking his head. Can't be a coincidence. Spirals. Why? How does Lance fit in? That part was struck out. Grimsley drops dead because he's a useless idiot and the universe abruptly realizes it can't stand the burden of his existence any longer and everyone cheers at his departure because he's actually a horrible human being and everyone drinks mojitos at his funeral and has this huge Hawaiian themed party on his casket and three days later nobody remembers who he was or anything about this entire damned incident. Grimsley opens the reports skimming through them for names. L.S. L.S. L.S. That part struck through. Grimsley doesn't find anything because he's already dead from an explosive heart attack. Literally explosive. He ate too many bananas the previous day. The potassium from them built up in his heart. Literal explosion. The closet he finds. The closest he finds is a Lector Kelvin but no analog for Lance. Struck through. Lydia holds up her phone. Grimsley snatches it. Andrew, he says. You're breaking the rules I say. He pauses actually and realizing genuinely just how much trouble he's in. Andrew Sloan. Yes, that's me. You're breaking the damn rules so stop it. His brow furrows. What rules? What are you talking about? You're breaking the pattern. You aren't supposed to catch me yet. You're confessing to bombing FM 2439? Yes, I'm bloody confessing you twit. I did it. I got onto the maintenance crew. I carved the spirals into the back of the fuel tank. I smuggled the bomb on and wired it into the recorder system. I've come home. I'm writing up the narrative. I've already got pictures littered around my place because that's what I'm supposed to do. You're the idiot breaking the rules. You aren't supposed to find me yet. You can't just cheat like this. What the hell are you on about? You fit the pattern because I'm supposed to. You are too. You show up to the crash, bumble around like an idiot for a few hours, get a few clues. You're supposed to talk to my colleagues. Hear them mention the spirals I keep mentioning and sure you get pretty suspicious of me. Weird behavior and all that. But you aren't supposed to catch me until after you find the symbol. Not before the cleaners are supposed to break down the last bit of the plane. The one then one of them spots the carving. Then you conclusively link it to me. Then you catch me. You aren't supposed to pick up on the pattern. A pause because grimmously is an idiot. Excuse me. Shut up. You don't get to talk. I'm the narrator. I'm the bloody narrator. Not you. You're the character. The protagonist. You do as I say, because I tell you to do it. When I delete something, you forget it because it never happened. You don't get to ignore me. Dot, dot, dot. This isn't supposed to be meta fiction. You don't have free will. Right, Andrew. I'm sorry. No, you aren't. But you will be allowed metallic groaning followed by shouting. Grimsley turns to the valley because I want him to see this. A worker jumps up from the crane. A worker jumps from the crane as it tilts forward tumbling into the valley. Time slows down for Grimsley, but he doesn't move any faster. Everything proceeds in slow motion so he can understand what's about to happen. He lets out a shout if he wants. Not like I can tell him not to anyways, but he can't stop the vehicle from tumbling down the slope over and over down toward the last remaining section of the fuselage. The lightweight materials of the fuselage easily, easily crumble under the heavy steel of the crane. It crushes like paper, Grimsley, and you see all of it. You see it in slow motion, and you can't do anything to stop it. Everything inside is flattened like a pancake. And you know it. You know exactly who's inside, don't you? Yes, you do because it's the last section, the one with the back of the fuel tank. There's no survivors, Grimsley. No survivors.

SCP 7390 is a the SCP 7930 file is compulsory reading for a level one or higher foundation personnel that do not have the initials AS or GT. The SCP 7390 file is to be uniformly redacted to all foundation personnel with the initials AS and GT, with the exception of SCP 7390 dash B instances belonging to previous SCP 7390 occurrences. Foundation personnel are forbidden from discussing any aspect of SCP 7390 with individuals with the initials AS or GT. Potential SCP 7390 instances, regardless of their name, must be immediately reported to security personnel and apprehended. All potential SCP 7390 dash A instances must be reassigned from all maintenance duties for a minimum period of six months, regardless of position and or pending duties. Foundation maintenance personnel with the initials AS must undergo monthly psychological evaluations to monitor for escalation into an SCP 7390 dash A instance. Potential SCP 7390 dash B instances, regardless of their name, must be reported to supervising personnel. Under no circumstances should any investigation conducted by SCP 7390 dash B, especially into SCP 7390 dash C vehicle be interfered with or accelerated using knowledge of SCP 7390. Foundation personnel with the initials GT must be instructed to preemptively report intentions to conduct an investigation of any kind to their superiors or to their supervisors. In the event that an SCP 7390 dash B instance conducts an investigation that appears to align with an SCP 7390 event, Foundation security personnel must identify any potentially related individuals with the initials AS and prepare to apprehend them. Foundation security personnel must not apprehend any SCP 7390 dash A instances until directed to do so by SCP 7390 dash B. All SCP 7390 dash D instances are to be surrendered to the Department of Pathophysics for archival and investigation description. SCP 7390 is a series of events which reoccur every four months, always consisting of and focusing on SCP 7390 dash A foundation maintenance employee with the initials AS SCP 7390 dash B an investigative foundation employee with the initials GT SCP 797 390 dash C a foundation vehicle with a numerical designation consisting of the number two, three, four and nine in any order. SCP 7390 dash D a narrative written by SCP 7390 dash A detailing an investigation conducted by SCP 7390 dash B into the loss of SCP 7390 dash C pictured examples of spiral iconography commonly produced by SCP 7390 dash A the specific identities of SCP 7390 dash A and SCP 7390 dash B the vehicle type and model of SCP 7390 dash C and the content genre and medium of SCP 7390 dash D vary between occurrences prior to SCP 7390 dash 5 the fifth occurrence of the events both SCP 7390 dash A and SCP 7390 dash B were always employed by the Department of Logistics, the latter being a member of the Investigations Division and SCP 7390 dash C was always an aeroplane. Approximately two months after the previous SCP 7390 event had concluded, SCP 7390 dash A will be inspired to write SCP 7390 dash D interviewed acquaintances report that SCP 7390 dash A initially appears excited by the concept devoting a significant amount of their spare time to the project over the ensuing two weeks. However, SCP 7390 dash A becomes visibly and persistently anxious, refusing to discuss their condition, dismissing inquiries into SCP 7390 dash D and progressively avoiding all commitments outside of their work. Analysis of recorded dialogue from developing SCP 7390 dash A instances revealed a propensity towards cryptic references of mind control, stalking, intimidation and constriction, particularly when used in reference to themselves. Furthermore, when deflecting inquiries into their condition, SCP 7390 dash A will almost universally change the topic of conversation towards spirals, vortexes or coils. The perceived symptoms of anxiety reportedly diminished one month after the initial conception of dash D supplemented by an increased focus on their work assignments. Recovered financial records indicate that dash A began researching and purchasing materials to construct an improvised explosive device, taking appropriate and successful precautions to avoid arousal suspicion. After another month, totaling four months since the conclusion of the previous SCP 7390 event, SCP 7390 dash A will be assigned to conduct maintenance on SCP 7390 dash C, during which they will both covertly install the explosive device and intentionally leave some form of spiral theme visual cue as evidence. Within the ensuing 24 hours, a coincidental event experienced by SCP 7390 dash C while in use will cause the detonation of the explosive device resulting in the destruction of the vehicle. SCP 7390 dash B will be assigned to the ensuing investigation initiating the SCP 7390 event proper, which will transpire exactly as documented in SCP 7390 dash D. SCP 7390 dash B is given a significant time constraint but becomes aversive towards direct investigation during the SCP 7390 dash C wreckage. During the course of the investigation, SCP 7390 dash B interviews the colleagues of SCP 7390 dash A who highlight the individual's abnormal behavior before proceeding but over the preceding three months. SCP 7390 dash B is unable to conclusively identify SCP 7390 dash A as the culprit until the final hour of the time constraint at which time they discover the triskellion left within SCP 7390 dash C linking it to SCP 7390 dash A's obsession with spirals. SCP 7390 dash A is apprehended at their residence, which is extensively decorated with illustrations of spirals while attempting to finalize SCP 7390 dash D. SCP 7390 dash A confesses to SCP 7390 dash B, reporting that the narrative of SCP 7390 dash D had been manipulating them over the preceding three months to both complete the narrative and instigate its events with their earlier abnormal behavior arising from threats issued by the narrative. Across all occurrences, the foundation has uniformly failed to identify SCP 7390 dash A, SCP 7390 dash B, and SCP 7390 dash C until after the conclusion of SCP 7390 dash D's events. To date, SCP 7390 dash A have never succeeded in finalizing SCP 7390 dash D during the events. Completing the narrative after the events have concluded causes no discernible effects. Addenda, Discovery, Escalation. SCP 7390 was first identified on May 5th, 2025, following the conclusion of the fifth known SCP 7390 event wherein Assistant Director Grimsley Trudge, SCP 7390 dash B dash 5 apprehended Andrew Sloan, SCP 7390 dash A dash 5 for the sabotage of FM 2439, SCP, pardon me, SCP 7390 dash C dash 5. This event is particularly significant as it is the only occurrence to significantly deviate from the SCP 7390 archetype. SCP 7390 dash 5 is the only event where a previous SCP 7390 dash B, SCP 7390 dash B dash 3, George Trellis, was present. A.D. Trudge is the only SCP 7390 dash B to become aware of previous SCP 7390 during an event. As Trellis both recalled their own SCP 7390 event and discovered SCP 7390 dash 4, notifying A.D. Trudge of both. A.D. Trudge became aware of both the SCP 7390 anomaly and Sloan's guilt significantly earlier than all of the events facilitated by the previous point. A.D. Trudge is the only SCP 7390 dash B to have influenced the SCP 7390 dash D narrative against their SCP 7390 dash A instance. Of note is that the recovered SCP 7390 dash D was metafictional. Several lines in the final paragraphs are crossed out with only A.D. Trudge retaining the deleted information and the narration becomes increasingly insulting towards A.D. Trudge. Sloan is the only SCP 7390 dash A instance to confess out of order. Doing so before A.D. Trudge discovers the trick-selling clue. SCP 7390 dash 5 is the only occurrence where the SCP 7390 dash D ends before all the SCP 7390 events have concluded, terminating immediately after Sloan's confession and omitting his subsequent apprehension, the discovery of SCP 7390 dash D, and his recount of the previous four months. Subsequent investigation later identified SCP 7390 dash 1 and SCP 7390 dash 2, two earlier aircraft incidents aligned with SCP 7390 dash No dash. That's just said too many times. SCP 7390 dash 6 began on September 18, 2025. Unlike all previous occurrences, SCP 7390 dash C dash 6 was a freight ship instead of an aircraft. And SCP 7390 dash B was a crew member instead of a member of the Department of Logistics, Investigations Division. All subsequent SCP 7390 events have similarly deviated with the SCP 7390 dash C vehicle and position of SCP 7390 dash B being randomized each time. So whoever wrote it got annoyed that they got caught early and now is changing it to make it more interesting. The game is the foot. Yeah, that was intense. Okay, I really like the metafictional aspect on that one. Yeah. I love a good author railing at their creation. So many metafictions in the foundation are from the perspective of the foundation trying to fight their writers, which is not often very conducive. So this gave me like Stanley parable vibes of just chewing out the player character and it made me very happy. Yeah, yeah. I like the I like the whole metafictional aspect same same deal. I mean, I'm a huge fan of jack Ike's work. We, you know, we've talked a good, a good deal about this stuff. The I get a lot of vibes from like the breach that keeps on breaching and other right, like writings of yours if you're instilling the chat. Like, yeah, it's very, very, very reminiscent. And I saw the the linked one 6065 I think was the one, right? 6056. 6056. Sorry, yes. That one I feel like I might have missed. I'll have to go check that one out because it sounds familiar, but also not not something I've read before. But yeah, it's it's all I mean, this is a definite upvote for me and I has it's all the big sci fi and high concept markers that I look for in a good mind bend the article. So good job. Yeah, Jack Ike killing it with this one. I'd like to see the other two ends endings at some point, but covering two. Oh, yeah, that's Harry's right. You're right. You're right. Well, the all the 43 stuff is still reminiscent. You know, it's I recently read meta Ike and that one also kind of gives me similar vibes, although the presenting is completely different. breach that keeps on breaching is Harry's right. So I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I mean, you know, we're all in 43, but you know, it's it's it's all the same motifs and whatnot. It's just it's good stuff. Yeah. Yeah, this was dope. Uh everyone go read the other endings and have fun with that. Go check it out. Yeah, check them out later. Plus 50. Yeah. Awesome. Okay. Before we get on to our next article, make sure to donate to hymns for the road. Help Raddiger make a dope horror fiction, spooky fiction Fayfolk podcast. Yes. Raddiger works very hard. You she deserves she deserves to get that uh that uh you know the goal completed and you should you should help out because you get awesome stuff for backing. There are eight days left. Uh that means we're gonna have one more stream during this and uh we're gonna have a little bit of a special event next week to make sure this thing gets funded. We will we at site 42 will not let this fail. I'll tell you now. Not at all. Also make sure to support the go fund me for Dr. Sumerian could use a little more money to stuff that mattress that's on the floor. Oh yeah. Yeah, it's it's starting to sag a bit from all the rain. Um we're trying to get the hole filled but it's any additional donations will go to uh elevating his mattress. There we go. Put a little money stacks like legs on the bed. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Dark lord thirty seven nineteen and nice demon queen. Thank you for the simultaneous super chats. Well timed. Yeah. Thank you for supporting the channel. That'll help us to support these ourselves as well. Yep. Absolutely. And last advertisement to go to the link in the description. You can become a site 42 patron to help me make stuff happen like this. I donated to both Sumerian and Radiger on behalf of the community. Although depending on how hymns goes, I might be giving a little more on our behalf but I'm doing what I can to make sure any project that comes across site 42's radar. I am giving y'alls funding to the funnel. Yeah, I I donated as well and I also uh for I donated to Rad's and of course for us uh first month or two uh I gave all of my music proceeds to Sumerians and that that worked that worked out quite well. I was uh I got more for that than uh than I ever made in out of music so I'm glad that uh I'm glad that I was able to help out with Sumerians. Music funding. Are you talking about slow gramming? Yes. Yes. My uh SCP uh OST a thirty three track album that is all uh themes for different SCP articles. You can check that out. You can go to my support link at the bottom bill of thought space. It has all my links there. Uh it's all you know compressed under one one location and you can you can check out slowgramming.bandcamp.com and uh you can see that see all my music there. I have another album coming out in December but it's not necessarily SCP related but still check it out. It's good stuff. All right and so let's close the ad window. Where is the reading window? Come back reading window. There we go. Next is SCP seventy twenty three. By you like. Let's see. And this is yeah it's not it's a different Ike um SCP seventy twenty three. It is the last remaining variant. The last remaining variant. Mm-hmm and um I this might be our last one. It's it's hard to say. We got a little bit over an hour. It's on its length. It could be. It depends. We got a lot of conversations. Those kind of fly by. Yeah. That's true. All right. I want to start us up. Certainly. Item number SCP seventy twenty three. Containment class Euclid. Threat class Multiversal. Special containment procedures. Currently SCP seventy twenty three is being contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at site twenty four under the authority of the foundation variant dash ZL slash one five two A investigation into the origin of this anomaly is ongoing. Individuals searching for more information should contact the department of Multiversal Defense. Description. SCP seventy twenty three is Julian August Mary a baseline thirty three year old human male currently in the custody of the foundation in universe dash ZL slash one fifty two A. SCP seventy twenty three is a non anomalous however appears to be the only remaining multiversal variant of an individual commonly referred to as Julia Tron. The Department of Multiversal Defense is currently investigating the reason for this multiversal anomaly. So far this investigation has reached several conclusions. Julian Marie of universe ZL fifty one fifty two A is the only remaining multiversal variant matching their universal multiversal signature. No signature matching that of SCP seventy twenty three has been identified in any of the investigated universes. In the past a variant of Julia Tron has been present in every a truan has been present in every single investigated universe. Furthermore it would appear that every variant of Julia Tron has ceased to exist simultaneously. Footnote with exception of SCP seventy twenty three. Therefore an unprecedented multiversal event must have led to a complete disappearance or destruction of every other multiversal variant of SCP seventy twenty three. Due to the nature and implications of this potential wide scale multiversal event a meeting was called by the Department of Multiversal Defense based on the Hexa Universal Multifoundation Collaboration Agreement from 2018. Addendum seventy twenty three point one. Department of Multiversal Defense Leadership Meeting Transcript. Internal Recording Transcript. In attendance o five one of dash w k slash four four one a Dr. Haster Galva of universe w k slash four four one a Dr. Ariana Ike of universe dash w l slash oh three oh nine three that a Dr. Ariana Rose of w l slash oh three oh nine three b is going to be wonderful uh oh five one of zl one fifty two a oh five seven of zl one fifty two a Dr. Vladislaw Mulder of zl one fifty two a uh Dr. Trevor Ander of zl two fourteen a oh five five of zl two fourteen a and Dr. Yama Dulu of zl eight four six a and I'll read the side the sidebar box thing before we start says hexa universal foundation collaboration agreement. The HFC agreement first signed in 2018 by representatives of six foundation variants from six nebrian universes footnote uh these these variants coming from universes w k four four one a w l oh nine three a w l oh nine three b zl one fifty two a zl two fourteen a and zl eight forty six a ensures collaboration and information exchange between these foundation variants this agreement was formed as a direct response against the increasing threat posed by multiversal group of interest X01 known as reya utas pair uh based on this agreement a newly created joint department of multiversal defense is to investigate neighboring universes and create solutions for multiversal threats and the in the image caption is department of multiversal defense logo so that's the thing um do you want to take the doctors and i'll take the o fives i was thinking the exact same thing okay sounds great uh beginning log go ahead thank you for coming here on such short notice especially you yama i am aware of the current situation in your universe and i promise not to waste your time oh please dr galvin let's just get to business all right as you probably know our field investigation units have reached a frightening answer to the riddle of scp-70-23 it would appear that some sort of wide range event of unknown origin and purpose has occurred leaving no survivors safe for scp-70-23 what makes this event frightening is the scale it was a pure coincidence that we even noticed something was wrong whatever happened left no traces of attendee work yes um if i may our agents have attempted to track the universal signature of our subject through all means even thaumaturgy has failed us we have no idea what caused it and we are even more clueless when it comes to scp-70-23 itself maybe he just got lucky that i'd say mr marie should consider himself the luckiest man alive agreed well we cannot ascertain with a precision that he is the only remaining instance of themselves he is most definitely the only one in this multiversal cluster as well as our neighboring ones well that may not be necessarily true there are a number of universes we haven't checked dr diluli with all due respect this is about the z in x and y clusters look all i'm saying maybe this has something to do with the memetic pricks yama please there's no need for such language here i understand no you don't look i'm sorry i know we shouldn't bring our own universal problems here but we are at war and just because you all refuse to acknowledge it doesn't dr diluli please we can discuss this at another time dr diluli is visibly irritated but agrees actually yama may have a point we've never seen multiversal threats on this scale before rea utis pers becomes second rea utis becomes second in their ability maybe we're just missing the obvious here dr uh ariana dr icke and dr rose uh rosee the e makes me think rosee both turn their heads towards dr ander sorry still a bit new at this i keep forgetting which one is which i wanted to speak to dr ariana icke that would be me right anyhow if we put aside the obvious problem of how i was wondering why exactly would a civilization focused on conquering other universes want to destroy a single person in every universe good question well we know one thing they are persistent we managed to hold out against them for years now maybe they just figured if they can't absorb us they can destroy us the room falls silent they don't have the means no one has that kind of power it's a possibility though they certainly haven't given up my world suffers their aides constantly but you're right we can deal with them even if this wasn't all possible which it isn't as far as we know we have no idea what's going on in their clusters yes dr icke to our knowledge but even if the necessary power for something like that would be enormous the multiverse is infinite as far as we know and according to our estimates riyadis per and its variations are present in most universes of the x and y clusters that's a lot of resources in their hands yes but they aren't working together it is inconceivable precisely if their memetic nature makes it their memetic nature makes it impossible for them to work with other variants for themselves have their efforts focused on fighting themselves we should still investigate it if they found a way to destroy something across the entire multiverse we are all in extreme danger so should we presume that if they tried to destroy mistruan in all universes that their metaphysical weapons somehow missed mr marie well only if we presume only if we would presume that to be the case we do all right all right we shouldn't eliminate any possibilities for now mr dr molder is there any information to be gained from sdp 7023 itself no nothing useful anyway he's honestly not an interesting man he wasn't even aware of the anomalous when we got to him quite frankly i'm still the opinion that we should release him we have discussed this he stays in your care till we find out more we should talk to him again he might seem ordinary but there is quite literally no one else like him addendum 7023.2 dr galva's personal thoughts on scp 7023 i'll read this one sure our teams have investigated over 200 individual universes belonging to almost a dozen different multiversal clusters not a single one of them helped us to understand scp 7023 the destructive event that created it or what could have caused it the investigation has concluded that each variation of julia slash julian etc has simply ceased to exist simultaneously about a week ago all of them except for scp 7023 in fact probably no one in the entire multiverse has the means to even know how it happened we only know it happened because to us it didn't well it did i didn't know dr julia truan in my universe but now i know she worked for the foundation there is this pronounced sense of fear when dealing with other versions of yourself something more akin to existential dread than actual physical terror i still don't know how ariana deals with it how they both deal with it sometimes i catch myself thinking about my other selves especially when ria udus per has brought up to know there is most likely a me somewhere beyond the barrier of this world working to destroy or worse to assimilate this place sometimes i wonder if there isn't me out there that is so different from how i think and from who i am that i wouldn't recognize myself in them scp 7023 if the team term should even apply doesn't have to ask these questions anymore survivors guilt is of course a wholly different factor but there must still be something strangely calming when one knows there aren't any other selves of theirs from the journal of dr hustler galva now read the side box next the threat of ria udus per very little is known about the principal constraints forming the memetic concept of ria udus per it appears to be a powerful meme manifesting itself as a semi-religious idea dedicated to spreading itself across the multiverse foundation originating from universe zl 846 a has encountered a variant of this meme in 2017 when a group of medically defected individuals attempted to invade their universe and had to be forcefully repelled this threat was later classified as goi x01 since the formation of the hfc agreement that has been ascertained that a large portion of the neighboring x and y clusters of universes have been either successfully invaded by this meme or a place of origin for a variation of the idea as such travel to infected universes is highly forbidden all non-allied universes that haven't been affected are to be made aware of this threat so as to possibly establish an alliance interview with scp-7023 forward dr molder has decided to conduct another interview with scp-7023 as per request by the project leadership however before the scheduled interview could be conducted scp-7023 reported experiencing strange symptoms forcing dr molder to start the interview early getting log good morning mr marie how are you feeling today morning doctor i'm yeah i guess i'm doing okay glad to hear that now what was that about the sickness yeah yeah i'm i'm feeling kind of dizzy all day it's probably nothing but i wanted you to know since you wanted to know if anything happened i see i'll make sure we get you checked anything else well i mean i wanted to ask when i could finally leave this place mr marie i no listen doc i've been here for about two weeks now people will know don't worry mr marie no one is gonna notice that you're gone well i do have a i i do have a flat to take care of and i mean i don't really have a family but there is this stray cat that comes to my doors mr marie i'll be honest with you we have no idea when we'll be able to release you as you are aware the nature of your anomaly is rather unorthodox even by our standards what anomaly honestly doc i tried to catch a thing or two but none of it honestly makes any sense to me we've discussed this yeah yeah i get that i'm unique or something but the way i see it i can't shoot lasers or fly or nothing so i just might not just let me go dr molder stay silent see doctor i thought you were just keeping me around because i could talk but then i figured you probably have something to make me forget all about this place we do i knew it well so why not just give it to me well you may not feel like it mr marie but you are a rather special person special man even if you can't shoot lasers or fly so what can i uh winces in pain mr marie what is oh my god scp 7023 is tightly holding his left wrist with his right hand the skin around the area is visibly darkening as the effect spreads he seems to be in a lot of pain gosh it it hurts what what is going on doc i i don't know stay here help i need a medic afterward in the aftermath of this interview an on-site medical specialist has been called in to assist scp 7023 however before he could arrive all immediate effects cease and all in the darkened skin around the subjects left wrist remained scp 7023 claimed that the pain has stopped even though he's clearly remained in shock additional testing has was approved shortly after testing revealed no conclusive results of the effect on the skin of scp 7023 the effect appears to be purely anomalous however upon further investigation traces of foreign extra universal signature were discovered in light of this the origin point of the effect has been origin point of the effect has been tracked to universe xt slash 007a and addendum 7023.4 excerpt from dr icke's theory on multiversal travel you might take this one as well yep all right ever since we discovered the multiverse our goal has been to find out more about it we sent recon teams to navigate the map out neighboring universes it was never easy to make sense of distances between universes as they more or less represent variation when we say a universe is neighbor in ours we mean to say it is one of many to do so and one of many that are different sure people might speak differently this guy might be red and flamingos might not exist but the general physics require and requirements for human life are usually the same the further we go the more strange things become if we imagine the multiverse is a three-dimensional space which it isn't but it helps we could imagine this variation factor is distance travel from our original universe in other words even if the travel from universe to a to universe b is simultaneous and travel from universe a to universe r is also simultaneous the imagined distance between these universes is not the same thus universe a is very far from what universe r would look like now when we talk about multiversal travel we often throw around the term universal cluster a cluster universe is quite frankly not a real a cluster of universe is quite frankly not a real thing like many other terms it is simply something that helps us visualize the multiverse better theoretically a cluster is a dense group of universes that generally share a significant feature for example the infamous x cluster discovered shortly after the invention of multiversal travel in our universe anyway is an infinite group of universes also sharing similar patterns and most of them light doesn't have the same properties as it does in our universe and neither does sound if you want to put another terms assuming you are familiar with human levels the local reality level of most universes in the x cluster is lower than our own the point is that even if all these classifications are superficial and in no way reflect the actual distance between universes or any such thing they can aid in the universal navigation no one which universes share our laws of physics and reality can be vital and traversed in the multiverse it is also very helpful indicator and determine the severity of multiversal threats as i've theorized before many entities or groups traveling the multiverse must surely use a similar navigation system this would of course explain why the hostile mimetic civilization of ria udus per is so hesitant to attack our universes in full force we know our clusters have slightly different parameters and they must know it as well plus of course the universe is infinite and their clusters are filled with variations of the same meme luckily for us from theory on multiversal travel by Dr Arianna Ike reading the side box next multiversal clusters x and y shortly after mappering out neighboring cluster areas of the multiverse the department of multiversal defense discovered the x cluster of universes which were soon determined to be the origin of ria udus pair because of the dangerous mimetic influence present in these universes no proper exploration attempt was deemed feasible and all subsequent effort has been focused on shielding the clusters so as to isolate the spread of the medic infection all of these efforts were halted in 2019 when it was discovered that what was previously thought to be a singular mimetic virus has in fact been numerous multiversal variants fighting between themselves the general theory states that due to the semi-religious nature of the meme different various see each other as heretical and fight between themselves for supremacy addendum 70 23.5 incident report on September 17th 2022 multiple universal breaches were discovered during a routine control of routine control of extra universal frequency scanners in universe zl 846a per protocol mtf units were deployed to each location in anticipation of a raid party from a different universe within several minutes these mtfs were overwhelmed by a number of hostiles that had to and had to retreat an emergency distress call has been issued immediately through the department of multiversal defense to all member and allied universes support units from universes wl093a wl093b and to zl 214a were capable of hindering the advance of hostile forces but were unable to destroy them this chain of events led to the foundation leadership of universe zl 846a to this through a desperate action not supported by the department of multiversal defense by a direct unauthorized command from dr deluli mtf juliet seven quote world hoppers was sent through a multiversal gateway to universal xt 007a as it has been previously determined to be the origin point of the symptoms affecting scp 70 23 below is a transcript of the mission footnote the existence of this unauthorized mission was discovered only after its conclusion and dr deluli was severely reprimanded non-relevant parts have been cut out all right exploration video log transcripts date uh september 18th 2022 exploration team mobile task force juliet seven world hoppers location of interest universe xt 007a team lead j7 fort team members j7 circle j7 halo and j7 turret my suggestion is uh circle and halo is one person because circles and halos and fort and turret are the other person because fort and turret go together okay yeah that works great um i can take uh let's say i'll take fort and turret and you can be deluli so we have a little bit of back and forth here all right beginning lock so yama you want to tell us what this mission didn't come from above no you can still walk out on me if you want not going to happen i've been looking forward to this for a long time no way so what have you got for us a quick recon locate the device artifact or whatever that will match the signature try not to get into trouble and get back asap copy that momentary silence you know this will get us all into trouble right i know good luck dr deluli disconnects from the radio all right uh we've got this special antimimetic gear cognitive blockers stealth armor pocket reality anchors damn where'd you get all this stuff from girl silence and she's gone looks like it's just it looks like it's on us boys so is everyone ready ready ready ready sir okay started up circle i'm on it j7 circle activates a thomaturgic portal in the middle of the chamber using a ritual the process takes about a minute and a half done it should be a tune to the right universe should it is i got it right enough chit chat let's go circle you last turret up front halo with me team j7 walks through the an unauthorized thomaturgic portal and arrives at universe xt 007a they appear to be standing in a narrow street with a dark yellow sky above them the team immediately starts looking around for any side of hostiles the architecture around them is roughly reminiscent of ancient middle eastern cultures and everything appears to be desaturated footnote uh the an effect of local physics affecting the way light interacts with matter once the team determines they are they are there alone they proceed down the street j7 halo uses a provided cant counter to measure local reality finding it to be several humes below baseline the team shortly discusses collecting samples but decides to stick to their vision upon exiting the street they find themselves in some sort of plaza stone bricks on the ground aren't even and the whole plaza seems to be descending towards a massive straight tower constructed out of pitch black material j7 turret voices concerns about a lack of people and j7 fort orders the team to advance towards the tower after confirming that the provided signature matches team j7 moves quickly and soon arrives at the base of the tower the height of the object is difficult to ascertain due to its size but must be over 200 meters long also i'll read that side box after i just want to think for flow i'll continue this for now i don't really like this where are all the hostiles relax they're probably all attacking our home how can you say such a thing that doesn't help at all cut it out you too as up front let's grab whatever we can and rush back this place is giving me the creeps um sir what it is j7 circle points to an entrance to the tower that was previously hidden due to the extremely dark material that it was made out of i've got it j7 turret advances up front with his gun while the other members follow the interior is made out of the same dark material but is illuminated with the strange yellow glowing orbs on the walls using this the team is able to enter a chamber located in the middle of the tower their cognitive blockers start alerting them during this time the center of the tower is revealed to be hollow with a long glowing spiral object in the middle leading them uh from leading from the ground all the way up to the top this object is notably notably being this object is notably being partially covered by the team's cognitive blockers what the fuck is that thing i i've seen this before i think it's it's a multiverse map uh edge relation model footnote the edge relation civilization is one of the first ones to create a somewhat functional multiverse map the model is not compatible with modern knowledge as it presents each universe as a sphere on an infinite line which is signified by either creating a circle or simply having no end it's not the most accurate representation as far as i know and my head hurts just from looking at it why is my visor sensor in it i don't know but it's something strong i can feel it pushing against the cognitive blockers is there anything to grab here circle j7 circle is looking at the tower walls which are also covered in symbols lines and cognitive hazards i think this is written in their language in a couple of other languages and this that's latin i think so but the blockers are hiding some parts of it it must be some kind of message meant for a wide audience they want to share it with everyone look there he points to a text a couple of meters from the ground written in english it reads we the lucky chosen who have has usurped the land of destiny and cast down redacted to slay all the heretics hereby say redacted to all redacted as the sun settles upon the eternal flame of this just land of light well that just sounds like their usual memetic religious bullshit i don't know man i don't really like this there's no one here exactly there are a couple more things here written in all kinds of gibberish i'll record it and they can study it back at the base but i think we should go sir definitely do that make sure you've got everything we can get and let's get out of here the team records everything in the room for a couple more minutes before leaving on their way back a loud noise is heard akin to a french horn being blowed in the distance afterwards the team uses a thomatergic portal on their way back home and log and the side box group of interest x01 as ria utas pair is not a united threat its principles are difficult to describe in most cases all goi x01 individuals remain human however exceptions to this rule have been encountered the memetic virus itself presents an even bigger challenge as it seems to be highly adaptable and capable of infecting different consciousness in different universes making it extremely potable what it can be said about all variants of goi x01 is the fact that their religious iconography revolves around unity light and the spread of their ideology since their discovery at least a few dozen individual variants of ria utas pair have been encountered many of these variants have employed a strategy of peaceful first contact so as to infect an underwear universe due to this they deem the response to any communication attempts involves treating them as hostiles okay addendum 70 23.6 domd leadership meeting transcript in the light in light of this chain of events a meeting of domd leadership has been called to discuss further development and these are these all you um andre i don't think was in the last okay andre was only there for a minute all i can definitely take yeah why don't you take andre and rosé and i'll just cover the other ones with the voices that i remember that's fine yeah yama what have you done i did what i had to do none of you wanted to move a finger so i went behind your backs and did something feel free to punish me later now that we now we have more pressing issues doctor deluli takes out multiple shoots of paper and distributes them between the other members is this what i think it is it's confirmation ori we were right scp 7023 is the result of their eigenweapon program and it's much worse it's just the testing shot dr molder yes i sorry but this is all very nice yama but we have no conclusive evidence all i see here are theories and ideas you presume that this weapon of theirs is capable of destroying all variations of something how would that even work and why that is precisely what i am saying it seems to target a specific element present in a large number of universes and then it destroys all of its variants simultaneously all except one and how exactly does that work i don't know but since when do we need to know how things work before we try to stop them what she's trying to say is how exactly do we know that well the recovered text seems to refer to their weapon as cleansing flame and from what our linguists can tell we know what they wanted it for in fact we know they already used it dr deluli is visibly shaking they used it on themselves silence please explain gladly um so the recovered text seem to be our biggest lead turns out we really underestimated how creative they can be apparently one of their variants created the weapon to do exactly what it does it we don't have the specifics and i doubt they matter now but they used it on themselves to get rid of all the other variants it was roulette my god so because their biggest weakness was constant infighting they destroyed all the other variants except for themselves why not just target something more tangible like the foundation they want to spread their influence they can't do that if there isn't anything left maybe the foundation is too involved with our worlds i don't know in the text they call themselves the lucky chosen i guess they saw it as some religious ritual to find out which variant is the right one using random chance does it matter we have a more pressing issue i doubt there's something standing in their way to us now we already experienced that newly found strength um excuse me but what exactly are you suggesting we do i i honestly don't know i wanted to coordinate some kind of attack or something but i don't know how to fight this it might take some time before the lucky variation takes over the rest of the clusters but if we don't do something soon we're done silence um can i say something now go ahead it's not suddenly stops talking the room erupts in a panic as both dr icke and dr rose a instantly disappear what what just happened oh no it's them but why we haven't done anything to them why dr andor suddenly disappears and now i'm out of the conversation well i hit that's not exactly true she's in a shaky voice yeah sorry that's all right what could you please just get to the point the mission log it omitted something what do you mean they were there to gather information but also they carried a bomb a bomb i'm sorry i didn't think straight they were going to wipe us out and i it was a technological marvel anti-mimetic bomb capable of rendering a huge area practically unnoticeable i wanted to use it on their weapon to hide it from them but maybe they had another one or it didn't blow or whatever they must have figured out who sent it dr galba suddenly disappears gosh i'm so sorry starts crying okay listen we probably don't have much time so listen scp 7023 is infected remember the thing is slowly killing him it's the same thing that killed everyone else that's why it led us straight to the weapon dr to lily doesn't say anything but nods whatever it's doing uh maybe it's uh not perfect i hate myself for saying it but if uh the man dies there's a chance the mimetic fucks will all die too maybe there's still a chance dr molder suddenly disappears no please i i don't i'm so sorry dr delily continues crying for another few seconds before she suddenly disappears white space this is an urgent message from the department of multiversal defense to all allied groups within the multiverse we are under attack an extremely dangerous mimetic phenomenon is spreading throughout the multiverse and is currently attacking us we have recently classified this phenomenon as scp 2020 7023 although the largest defective group calls itself reya udus pair any attempts at communication from this group should be ignored this message is a warning and a call for help they have devised a weapon capable of selecting targets in other universes we have reason to believe that there is a way to defeat this threat but we cannot do it alone their initial outburst has claimed many of our lives including our leadership but we are dedicated to fight back it is possible that your own universe has already experienced this please if you're receiving this message forwarded on and if you cannot help then at least wish us and at least wish us good luck your own lives may depend on it for everything that it is like the the individual parts of something that i should like but some reason doesn't sit right with me i don't know if it's like the specific choices that it's used for certain words or like i don't know there's something so i watched the movie eternal sunshine of the spotless mind great film used to be one of my favorite movies yes i watched it by myself i've only ever seen it once sure and i sat there watching this movie and i was bored and annoyed and i did not enjoy myself the entire time and then when the credits rolled i said that movie was amazing i loved it out loud and literally like shocked myself with those words i don't know why but i entirely slut trudged through this movie and then changed on a dime when i hit the finale right and this article just did the opposite to me i was loving it all the way down the conversations the little dialogue was good nothing was too long the dialogue was good the concept was good and this ending is like a cliffhanger to be continued non-ending that just makes me sour on the whole thing yes and i don't understand what the animatic bomb has to do with it or they like like what was that just setting up a a reason for them to attack us in specific yeah i mean are this this people in specific i think that they have plenty of reasons to attack them worse than from us being creating a multi-versus defense alliance against them but whatever you know i am yeah i am like reverse satisfied um i think that they're also at the last i mean is it's is it supposed to be uh like if you're seeing this message forward on if you cannot help us then at least wish us good luck because it's it's it's a new sentence it seems like the end of the the message is wish us good luck your own lives may depend on it but the previous sentence seems like it like it's capitalized and everything i don't know like if then at least like i feel like that needs a dot dot dot yeah uh also the idea of them sending a uh like a forward this to x many people and you won't die in a multi-versal it's kind of got that vibe right at the end yeah i don't think that was the intention but i definitely got that kind of vibe um love all in all yeah all in all it's it's like the the story is good but there's a lot of things in it that i think need to be need to be workshopped maybe um i think the dialogue is dialogue is good dialogue is the best part of this the anti-mimetic bomb threw me as kind of just an excuse to get these people killed and then the ending does not satisfy at least in its current state to me also this just reminds me of like another retelling of the meta-foundation coalition multi-verse agreement in 1981 which is talked about briefly and in other scp's of of this nature um but uh it's you know it's definitely its own thing just like not as good it's very interesting you always hear about things that are like greater than the sum of their parts yeah so like this is the opposite of that yeah definitely there and then you're just like oh it doesn't quite yet yeah yes i'm gonna i'm gonna know on this as a vote i'm not gonna downvote but i do want it to be like adjusted yeah i i agree with that sentiment all right well we definitely finished that one faster than i thought we would indeed let's look at the next one and see if this is a one more or a closing time sure let's see next one in line was 7802 let's see where's that bar at oh this is a short one i think wait oh wait there's a little thing at the bottom okay no no no no yeah it's it's short it looks shorty all right well then um let's do a shorty and keep the train going we're not done yet oh good luck trying to pronounce that containment

containment failure description scp 7802-a is an abandoned research facility which was reused by the foundation on the 15th of july 1987 to build up the containment of scp 7802 scp 7802-a locates in a nameless valley and it is believed that the building has existed for at least redacted years redacted with fucking how many digits one two three four five six digits that's a lot of years the surface of it has been masked as a normal local building and the only way to recognize it is a metal airtight door that leads to the underground structure with a placard that reads anomalous religious expressions department embedded on it addendum some of the ceremonial containment programs were abandoned code usso description a personnel is asked to use any different form from yesterday different from yesterday language to read the following sentence in a clear manner we don't know where it comes from we will try our best to contain it the procedure is to be conducted once a day no decrease the possibility of containment failure increase the morale of the site stricken failed oh all the um all the images are links i don't know if you saw that i did not yeah it's they're all references to other scp's well just realized code usso is not a link to anything oh you're right all the other ones are okay so code normalcy description dissolve the department of abnormalities no wish me good luck and that links to okay so that links to primary abnormalities yeah air ed linked to nothing eternal linked to nothing nike oh uh profit links to oh i see yeah welcome to delta t something right temporal site one welcome to yeah yes it's the introduction to rct delta tau or the temporal anomalies department uh code idle links to scp 5790 data killed burned links to dark side of the moon scp 4220 code dawn links to uh day breaks proposal so a red is what happened to the department of abnormalities is what's happened here i have no clue but there's also a another addendum at the bottom oh sneaky what do you got here addendum to the lake comas the first time when i was transferred to scp 7802 i didn't understand the purpose of these ceremonies at all i didn't know why we stuck to repeating these ceremonies with a vague effect containing an anomaly with a vague description these ceremonies are also so gentle that they are not like those typical a red managed ceremonies i have handled with surprisingly almost no blood and sacrifice can be seen i asked the principal at that time and his answer was only one sentence we don't have enough manpower to consume but every ceremony in the corresponding pattern has its own meaning and i didn't know this until later the ceremonies have a close relationship with other contained objects or projects but the truth is more than that we're using these ceremonies to build a virtual religious performance decrease the possibility that an anomaly escapes being contained and pray that luck is on our side we only know that in any case 7802's failure and containment should be avoided but we are unable to do so among countless reality iterations we are alive now just because we are lucky enough ah this is scp 7000 it's luck principal of scp 7802 researcher chang ha you so it kind of reminds me of a scaled-down version of the normalcy uh the the the links through that 3790 the department of abnormalities but um while the department of the 3790 department of abnormalities is just like a clip show of dr uh dj cactuses rather best hits uh this is just a bunch of articles that i guess the author liked i guess so it's you know it's like not i like the presentation i was looking at this source code and it's very confusing to me because there's a lot of uh code in there that's just like i don't know what exactly what it's doing um but like i was trying to get the the text for the containment class so i could google it and see what it what it was talking about apparently it means omega titlo which is just like a omega with a symbol on there or something um but in the class bar thing where you fill in all the uh the fields it doesn't say that it just says ot so somehow there's a way that they're like replacing the text as well i don't know what's going on but there's a lot of stuff happening here that there's the thomiel uh class in here somewhere i don't see thomiel at all um so it's very odd but um it's decent it's a decent article um and taking not in the this like the context of scp7000 context because do i think it deserved to be scp7000 no but um it's not bad it's still confusing yeah it's it's not my cup of tea i'm not one for like this style of article it's not my personal flavor yeah it's an internal secret you know it's that's supposed to be an extra extra you know nebulous i guess but it's it doesn't can't hold itself on its own because it's the entire core premise is based on other articles which is a fun inherent flaw there's plenty of articles that reference or even have another as a very like just like even as an example not to go back to this one but the wukaiju one the pacific rim one it mentioned 5514 a lot but it didn't necessarily like rely on that designation i didn't need to read 5514 to get the point yes yes and if you removed it from the picture you'd still have an anomaly there there's really not a no anomaly here as far as i'm aware yeah there's just alternate containment procedures that help the other anomalies listed right it's a nameless valley i think it's strange that they took the time to link a couple scp's but then left some circles blank and it might just be like you're supposed to figure with with these ones out or maybe they don't have any particular anomaly related to them but it does one they're not it's not obvious that you can click on these images i only noticed because i was going to the page code again um so it was just an odd it's an odd article overall um yeah it's i don't know if i would downvote it i don't think i would i mean it's it's fine to exist on the site it's what's decently written um i'm a simple no vote uh the aesthetic is really strong like yes i can't believe them like with the gray scale like i feel like i might get bored of it but the way the tones are the way i love the uh image and the look of the squares and the links and the symbology yes absolutely the aesthetic of this is gorgeous i just wish it yeah but how much is the you know jack style or whatever yeah it's jack style um because let me see one thing i was curious about was okay yeah yeah so like the drop downs and stuff are all jack style it's a very good theme you know i highly recommend you know using that theme sometimes but like it's not not too much of that is uh the author i would say that the like the icons and stuff are definitely the author and you know they did a very good job with that for sure this is large svg element in the like the very beginning of the page source and it's it's stressing me out because i don't know what it's what they're what they used it for i guess it's to generate the image behind the warning log um i don't think it's it's necessary to do that but um yeah i'm glad that they knew how to do that i guess i don't know it's it's a lot of code for just the image it's interesting interesting choice but the the symbols generated those those images that are used to link off those are really cool i agree um the non-standard style of the format is interesting too i like item sequence code it's interesting and like it's cool i always like a good format screw but uh yeah it definitely will be a no vote for me i think there's definitely something here and perhaps you could the author could expand on like the description the nameless valley that is scp 7802 a or 7802 rather and 78 no wait oh yeah locates in a nameless valley yeah so i'm there's there's some unanswered questions here that i think if the author expanded on could elevate the article a bit but the idea would be to make it its own thing maybe have some other narrative some overarching plot that's happening that's uh concerning the actual like why is the department you know like what's going on with them why did they where they defunct like what happened um who knows but as it stands now yeah i am scoping out our next article on the list which is 7042 correct yeah i was looking at that as well it has got a fair amount of number unpacking yes there's a lot of collapsibles there i don't think we're going to be able to do that one and a half hour no i think this is a call a little early and start with this sucker next time sounds good with me fantastic and let's see what we got coming up in the next next week we got next time on all 7 000 articles yes um where are we at we're at 42 42 yes um other natures sketchbook by arcland um then we've got mr iverson and daisodron 77 75 but one i will see how many we get through but there's a number coming up that uh a lot of them look like uh authors i know of and i'm sure they'll be readable at least i'm excited um i'm particularly excited for my recognize on this uh next scale is a red red red ah yeah uh that that one definitely stood out to me as well um let's see you still have a ways to go but i'm excited for uh scp 7555 i hear it's very good um that'll be good yes we got one two three four pretty banner image haza shout out to athris as always wonderful art and that's only on screen for just a moment because of course as our final news remember that we are doing all these 7 000 screams streams bill of an eye because we are supporting our homeboy dr samarian whose house was brutally assaulted by a tree absolutely very upset very angry undeserved assault on an innocent dr samarian yes and we kind of very vague description of what the tree looked like and thus we are taking out every single tree that looks like a tree basically um and we've only got 50 unchipped 50 articles left to to do it um so make sure you're here for that are we seriously at 50 left yeah only 50 left exactly 50 though nice exactly 50 yeah and if you want to help out with some artistic stuff go hit up hymns from the road or hymns for the road audio fiction we have that linked in the description as well so you can go help out radiger and the find us a live team making a new podcast it may not be scp related but it is scp adjacent both in creator and subject matter so it should be a fun time absolutely if you're a fan of scp you will like hymns for the road yes make sure to become a oh we got a couple more donos during this i don't know if it's from us or from someone else but i like to see that number going up either way let's see oh yes great thank you that most recent donor i think there was one make sure to become a site 42 patron to support our streams make sure to follow billeth on twitch to support the gus gang twitch.tv slash billeth yes we meet 70 uh we'll say every couple of days sometimes more sometimes less we'll see uh it depends on the roster but we've got a large cast of characters then we go and hunt ghosts uh not in character but you know we are scp authors and scp community people so uh we know a thing or two about handling ghosts and demons and but not so uh come check that out we have a lot of fun and with that thank you all very much for tuning in we hope you enjoyed the show and we will see you in the next one yeah good night but once was a man named stanley who people considered so manly but truth must be told he was not very old and was quite particularly gangly what stanley liked most was buttons he pushed them like some kind of glutton he did it all day in a meaningful way but his brain had long ceased to function which is why he is in this parable and lives in existence quite terrible and if you are not strong and keep playing along
