 Microphone check microphone check. Okay. Now we have a signal hallelujah. Amen Chat, do you read me my microphone was off that entire opening? So let's try this again Calling all things out found a little bit of ass, you know, I'm all messed up calling all foundation staff This is dr. Theron Sherman anomalously broadcasting from site 42. Please. Tell me you read me this time We are broadcasting anomalously. We need you to let us know that you hear us Make sure to like share and subscribe to YouTube on site 42 Dr. Samarian on YouTube and billeth on Twitch make sure you all do all of this when you're encrypted foundation issued accounts not your civilian accounts That's right. I'm talking to you again Steve. This is your third demerit All right, we are actually coming in this time. So we are going live in three two one Hey there foundation staff. This is dr. Theron Sherman. That's the wrong window. That looks better Welcome to the anomalous broadcast from site 42 week three of reading every single scp 7,000 contests entry with me as usual is our faithful co-host billeth Hello there. How is everyone and Surprising you tonight is our surprise guest of honor dr. Samarian himself. Say hello, sim Ahoy, hoy. Ahoy. Hoy indeed and So the reason we are all Reading every single scp 7,000 contest entry on stream is because of pulling up the ad window The go fund me for dr. Samarian's Near assassination via tree. So sim tell us how that situation is going right now Well, we got the tree off the house and we got the room cleaned out and We were talking recently to the people who own the mortgage on the house and They apparently had insurance. Thank God for them, I guess Although most of that's probably gonna end up going to pay it off the loan So I don't like to likely know how much is gonna be left over for home repairs But there will certainly be a substantial amount and it's almost not almost all It's all keyed in for just the home repair. So any other incidental costs along the side We've got to pay for ourself, which is the reason why I left the go fund me open But I've adjusted the number from 15 to 5000 because I feel like that's more than enough to place the stuff I've lost and cover the incidental costs in the in-betweens. So Yeah, that Hallelujah amen on the insurance mostly possibly maybe coming through that is That is very nice Yes, and uh Every uh, every dollar helps. I mean, I'd love to get Sumerian As much money as it takes to erase this memory from your brain Can we do that? Can we get it for every dollar? Can we burn down a tree in your name? So it's like the mr. Beast thing. Yeah, it's the it's the opposite of the opposite. Yeah We're team Our boroside basically Yeah, you know, there's a whole forest outside just outside my house I think most people have seen it from some of the pictures I've uh taken There's plenty of trees out there that we could take down. So yeah, a lot of enemies is what you're saying You know tree removal is a surprisingly expensive, especially big trees like the ones that we needed to get removed I was surprised at how expensive that crap was No, it doesn't surprise me at all You need You need all the gear and you need to make sure that you don't take out someone else's house when you do a safety thing Yeah, yeah Because it's so dangerous In the description of our stream, but I want to get us started quick because we got a lot of ground to cover guys Yes, we do. Yeah, you guys can google uh a tree tried to kill me and it missed go fund me and I should bring it up to Absolutely So scrolling down the wide wide world of scp 7000 entries. We make our way to the Posting order or reverse posting order and it brings us down to the first one. We haven't read scp 7000 recovered from Recovered device from jupiter by ruskiet Starting off some sci-fi Space sci-fi, right So let's pull up the entry Let's make it look pretty on our stream That's a fancy-looking picture only at plus seven this must be a I guess underserved article because it can't be new if that's the posting order Also look at the scroll bar Oh, yeah, that that will do it. Won't it? Oh, I'd like to have a table of contents too. How about that? Excuse me? Yeah, the thing on the side on the right if you hover over the little arrow Well, that's fancy Yeah, indeed and indicative of the size that we're dealing with All right, we've got our first article for the day and it looks to be a novel So I will start us off and I will eventually Say tag when I need backup sound good. You got it and I you know if there's some dialogue that needs to be split up I'm I'm here for the drama All right from the top everybody By order of the overseer council The following document contains information detailing capabilities of causing a tk class Causal restructuring event and is level five seven thousand classified Unauthorized access is forbidden Get this exactly where I want it there Item number scp seven thousand Level five classified top secret containment class safe Disruption class amita risk class critical Pictured is hark loserine as seen from kevlar 31 special containment procedures When not in use scp seven thousand should be set to a gamma phase to press prevent damages in case of a misfire scp seven thousand is to be stored in a standard storage locker at site 41 scp seven thousand is only to be operated by staff ranking level three or above containment update September 8th, 2010 Only trained personnel are allowed to operate scp seven thousand two level seven or level four researchers must supervise scp seven thousand prime any and all exploration attempts All recovered objects must be screened for hazardous chemicals before transport to site 41 scp seven thousand is to be stored in a level four containment chamber Containment update june 21st, 2011 a temporal relocation gateway trg between site 41 Uh, theta i'm going with theta for now And site 41 is to be maintained at all times scp seven thousand is not allowed to travel to scp seven thousand prime under any circumstances Native scp seven thousand prime entities are forbidden from traveling through the trg Upkeep of a trg to scp seven thousand prime is deemed a level a priority containment update three time stamp unknown scp seven thousand is to be stored in a medically sealed Spelled sealing sealed.

The touchpad is moist to the touch When pressed down by a living organism scp seven thousand will activate No recoil is felt by the user when fired no matter the setting assigned to scp seven thousand scp seven thousand lightly vibrates at all times and does not appear to power down Attempts to disassemble scp seven thousand have failed. How exactly scp seven thousand is powered is under investigation scp seven thousand phases Below the touchpad is a grain monochrome dial that can be rotated to one of three settings The settings have been classified as phases with a marking at each point on the dial The effect of each phase are as follows phase alpha effect An invisible and inaudible force is released from the two-tined prong All matter within a 250 centimeter radius of the target location will dematerialize No burn marks or other forms of residue are present. What happens to matter affected by an alpha phase is unclear When uh phase beta footnote When in a beta phase the two-time prong will shift to a dull brown coloration This is the only stage where scp seven thousand changes coloration When fired on a solid surface no smaller than one meter in radius The target locations will change to have a liquid texture and exude a dull purple coloration When fired a second time onto a surface fitting the criteria a temporal relocation gateway Will occur linking both locations and the object put through one end will Will relocate at the other end the trg will dematerialize after 10 minutes Subjects who walk through the trg claim to smell a strong aroma similar to that of copper Firing scp seven thousand at a living organism or a non-flat surface will have no effect Phase gamma two fluorescent balls of light will materialize at the end of the prongs The light has the light created has been documented to shine at 90 lumens scp seven thousand update august 8th 2010 scp seven thousand has the capabilities to create a trg far stronger than initially documented If scp seven thousand is fired once in a beta phase and the resulting trg is fired upon while in an alpha stage A new trg will form this trg is linked to a location classified as scp seven thousand prime See scp seven thousand prime The resulting trg last 10 minutes and is linked to the same location regardless of where it is positioned on our end scp seven thousand prime Note beyond this point all references to a temporal relocation gateway Are referred to are referring to the access point between earth and scp seven thousand prime Analysis of the galaxies visible in the sky has determined scp seven thousand prime to be a planet located in the ngc 4388 galaxy an estimated 65.1 million light years from earth The planet orbits 12 luke euclidean a b-type main sequence star scp seven thousand prime is 1.6 the size of earth with a gravity gravity level of 10.23 milliseconds With a gravity level of 10.23 Footnote broken um Come back here Also known as the twilight zone the terminator. That's a broken footnote broken footnote. Okay moving back up If had a couple tight bows a couple Footnotes, but it would be really hard to crit anything this long. I imagine Scp seven thousand prime is tidally locked to 12 euclidean Leaving the area around the trg in a state of constant twilight with an average temperature of 18 degrees celsius Most of scp seven thousand prime is barren and devoid of life with the exception of the 150 kilometer terminator zone Here's a footnote Oh, okay. That was squared earlier. It wasn't a broken footnote. I just don't know what 10.23 millisecond squared means for gravity Um, but that might be just me not knowing science damn liberal meters per second squared. Thank you Hallelujah. Yeah, I was about to correct you but you moved on too quickly. Yeah, I was hoping that I'm glad I went back so y'all could fix that for me. Sorry author. That was my bad Uh, now we're going to the terminator zone also known as the twilight zone the terminator zone It's the twilight zone and the terminator zone. That's a badass zone Is the region where day and night converge on earth the terminator zone is constantly rotating due to the rotation of the earth In correlation to the sun direct exposure to uv radiation is limited during this time and enough heat is given off to support life A plethora of unique species have been documented in the terminator zone With most being found in the forest around base valley see addendum 7000 dot zero two Oxygen argon and carbon dioxide comprise 98 of the atmosphere with the remaining 2 comprised of other inert chemicals remnants of a type 1 civilization Footnote on the Kardashev scale a type 1 civilization is a species that is able to harness the full resource capabilities of a planet And the full resource is attainable by its star Humanity on earth is currently a type zero civilization with humans not yet harnessing the full capabilities of earth A type 1 civilization only needs to have complete control over one planet to be considered a type 1 civilization Known as the valterians are present throughout the star system Initial assessment of the environment lead to the belief that the civilization had died out 3 million years ago due to a wk class mass extinction event It was later discovered that thousands had survived in cryogenic sleep Where they laid dormant for millions of years until their accidental reawakening by the scp foundation see addendum 7000 dot zero three The structures that were built during the height of the civilization have all been destroyed due to erosion and lack of care That is with the exception of two locations of interest. I think that would be a comma or just Not that is I don't know sentence phrasing The first location is a large city located 4.5 kilometers away from the base valley. The city is known as hark lorizen Loser and i'm going to say from now on by the valterians The city has been able to remain intact due to the presence of hundreds of small robots that roam the city These robots measure one meter in height and roll around via the use of a sphere They are non-sentient and are only able to complete menial tasks such as polishing windows fixing cracks and floors fixing broken windows, etc The second notable location is a large structure classified as the monolith The monolith is a massive superstructure measuring 540 meters above ground and extending for over 20 kilometers beneath the surface The area around the monolith is covered in high levels of radiation making exploration difficult It is unknown how the monolith has been able to remain intact with zero signs of erosion Addendum 7000 dot zero one initial exploration A clay tablet was discovered several feet from the trg. The following is a rough translation of what was inscribed None go quietly into the night They it all one of those do not want the stars to shine You cannot go quietly into the night Kourou sent their deference memory salutation Why must you go quietly into the night? Nothing is too great to keep the night's turning I love you Addendum 7000 dot zero two exploration log zero three Exploration team kevlar 31 Assigned personnel kevlar 31 small aerial drone manufactured by the switzerland military in 2007 The following is a transcript of an aerial drone sent to observe the forest surrounding the base valley Because kevlar 31 can only reach maximum heights of 400 meters the research team piloting kevlar 31 was forced to fly under the tree line Time stamp One second kevlar 31 begins its ascension site 41 theta construction teams are visible working around the trg Without warning the trg disappears none of the construction workers appear phased by this Five four seconds later the trg reappeared at 25 seconds kevlar 31 begins its path northwards At three minutes 23 seconds the tops of trees become visible in the distance At eight minutes 51 the sounds of wildlife begin to be picked up by the microphone Small animals can be seen moving between low-hanging vines At 932 kevlar 31 is flown into the tree line overall visibility decreased and headlights were turned on 957 10 squid light entities come into view perched along a tree branch devoid of leaves The entities had their tentacles wrapped around one another in a circle 10 minutes and six seconds the entities turned toward kevlar 31 The flock released a loud cry footnote the cry caused two researchers to begin bleeding from the ears and were taken to the infirmary Later overview the footage has not caused harm to listeners And rapidly rotating their tentacles until they were airborne the flock proceeded to fly into a hole in an adjacent tree Researchers attempted to fly kevlar 31 close to different animals on newer occasions Each time the animals would run away before kevlar 31 could get close 14 minutes three seconds kevlar 31 was brought down toward the surface floor The ground was covered with dense foliage. No animal was seen on the forest floor at any point during the recording No, no animal was observed on the surface floor at any point in the footage Biodiversity at the surface level was minimal with only three species of trees and shrubbery present 16 minutes 58 kevlar 31 was brought back to maximum altitude 39 minutes 12 two creatures can be seen standing motionless atop a thick branch 300 meters above the ground The figure on the left had red hair and was almost identical to a monkey except for two large antlers affixed to its head The creature on the right looked indistinguishable from a fox with a white coat The two creatures did not flee when kevlar 31 approached 41 minutes 46 seconds without warning the simian creature leaped forwards bounding charge bounding charge at the vulpine entity The vulpine remained motionless on the branch as the simian closed the gap between the two When the simian came within one meter the vulpine split into two separate creatures and their appearance changes Into beings with black hard shells. I guess that's changed Each drop down and hundreds of legs extend Each drops down and hundreds of legs extend latching onto the simian the simian claws that the two creatures before being crushed between them 45 minutes 27 seconds once the simian creature has been filled Has been filed filled devoured Has been filled devoured the two organisms joined back together latching on to each other with several black claws The vulpine Turns towards kevlar 31 and tilted its head before appearance changed to match the simian it had just devoured 58 minutes 53 seconds the force begins to lessen in density headlights were turned off One hour one minute six seconds force terminated into a plane covered in yulei with parse trees lining sparse trees Parse trees lining the environment an expansive city with a large structure is seen ahead Time stamp one hour four minutes 12 seconds. We have a beautiful city. I like that One hour 10 minutes 38 seconds kevlar 31 flew over the outer wall of the city No life forms are seen besides yulei that are growing between crevices in the streets The large structure observed earlier is at the center of the city It towers hundreds of meters into the air taller than the trees previously observed At this point researchers made several attempts to fly into small structures in the city But were unsuccessful the glare made it impossible for the camera to observe through the windows One hour 27 minutes 19 seconds small machines could be seen moving through the streets surrounding the central structure Said machines did not acknowledge kevlar 31's presence One hour 28 minutes four seconds kevlar 31 reached the edge of the central structure A large entrance is present but is closed off team begins flying kevlar 31 along the perimeter of the building Hour 28 and or one hour 28 and 26 seconds kevlar 31 shook violently The camera turned to see a mechanical limb wrapped around the top of the drone The limb is sticking out from the structure's wall One hour 28 minutes 37 seconds with the assistance of 13 additional appendices kevlar 31 13 we have a typo there is dismantled kevlar 13's parts were carefully undone before being brought into the wall One hour 29 and one second the camera is dislodged and falls to the ground The camera lands in a pile and is facing toward the large central structure The camera continued to operate for two hours before running out of power The sound of the sounds of objects being dragged could be heard throughout Addendum 7000 dot zero three before we move on Can I just say one thing about that entire log like forget the constant? There's definitely some errors and everything I really liked because if we move on too quickly, this won't mean anything I really liked the bit about the fox that can in a lab coat that shape changes Because there's this very tiny implication that apparently there's a fox like research or wandering that forest and got eaten by that creature at some past point It's the only thing about that entire log that I enjoyed Wow The thing about sight reading is sometimes you just overlook the words that come out of your mouth because you're reading ahead I did not even remember the lab coat and now I am I'm with you on that one now That's intriguing the rest of it less. So yeah, it's cool Addendum 7000 point zero three and yes if y'all got a good chime in feel free. I'm just running it right now No, I think it's best to to keep it going Yeah Exploration 7000 dot zero five exploration team mobile task force epsilon 13 codename manifest destiny Epsilon 13 is a task force trained in exploration of expansive unknown terrain assigned personnel e13 tango hadley heneff e13 uniform iris lauderdale e13 victor jace donovan e13 whiskey shyla chakrabarti e13 x-ray olivia young Uh chakrabarti in olivia. I wonder if this is a uh i-zombie reference. I wonder if the other names are related The following was the first manned exploration of hark loser in and the surrounding city following its discovery see exploration log Zero three mobile task force epsilon 13 was equipped with a rover modified to drive in higher levels of gravity Initial 40 minutes of footage has been cut due to lack of relevancy Hark loser in is able to be captured in full view as mobile task force epsilon 13 exit the forest edge The terrain is noticeably bumpy causing the car to shake as the team approach You want to split this up? Yeah, so let's see. We got x-ray tango victor whiskey Uniform I think everyone talks Yeah, so we have Five characters how about yeah, I could do two you could do two smaring if you'd like you can do one Or two. I don't care Sure, you want to do more two more or none. I'll take on tango. He's first So he probably has the most lines so I'll do one if I'm gonna do one. I'll do that one All right, so you take tango. I'll take uniform victor and billeth take whiskey x-ray perfect Oh, wow the city looks even bigger than the video, huh? Yeah seems like it You think there's a reason why everything is so big here like the trees are huge Shouldn't that not not work like that or something? You know with more gravity and whatnot I think someone at site 41 said it's a survival mechanism The tree's got to grow taller than other trees so it isn't in the shade Since the sun sorry since the star is set in a fixed position If the tree is in the shade it's going to stay in the shade and die Yeah, but that doesn't answer my question. Don't trees grow Don't trees not grow too high on earth because of gravity or something I've learned not to really worry about that kind of stuff. Just imagine the trees are anomalous makes it easier Epsilon 13 continues driving towards the city before parking 200 meters from its perimeter A 20 meter tall stone wall now obscures the city from view A large entrance about 10 meters tall is in view with its two large brass doors open The u-line near the walls grows up to 10 meters in height leaning against the wall which shows signs of deterioration Stay out here x-ray. We don't know what's in there. We'll calm you in calm you in We'll calm you in if we need to help or in trouble Epsilon 13 walk through the gateway to now be standing on a wide road lined with small buildings ranging in size from one to three stories The road continues straight for eight kilometers terminating at hark loseran. No living organisms are visible in all directions Epsilon 13 walk along the central road towards a large central building During this venture the team attempted to enter four different buildings and was unsuccessful Uh were yeah after walking for 14 minutes The team successfully entered a one-story building that was unlocked the rooms were within were fully furnished But the furniture had little resemblance to any furniture made by humans The most prevalent object was a hollow oval measuring 30 centimeters in height with at least one present in each room Clay tablets were found in the majority of these ovals with engravings yet to be deciphered The room found for this from the front door is taken up by a large network of pipe work Steam can be heard running through the pipes constantly Hey, this thing looks kind of cool E13 uniform touched the pipework causing a light to turn on above the door a pipe it extends itself out from the mass moving to E13 uniform's mouth E13 uniforms eyes wide and and he stumbles back before spitting out three red pills You okay uniform? Yeah, I'm okay. That caught me off guard The pipework begins to expel more pills at a rate of one per two seconds The team messes around with it trying to make it stop but after a minute the team gives up moving on to other rooms in the building E13 exits the building and continue And continue down the central road The team enters two more buildings with similar architecture to the first as they make their way towards the central structure at the center of the city After four minutes the team encounters a small robot dragging a bag behind it in the middle of the road The robot is cubicle with a dislodged wheel causing it to be moving in circles The team stands in front of the robot blocking its path I don't think this thing is sentient E13 tango takes the wheel off and the robot off of the robot before Implanting it with it within two ridges E13 tango sets it down onto the floor and the robot starts moving around freely now balancing on its wheel The robot grabs the half empty bag and rolls past the team and down the road Oh, you fixed it. That's so cute. How'd you know so fast? Well, my parents were devout next wellians and despite my best efforts to separate from them Part of their teachings never really left me. I guess it helps though As the team got closer to the central building the robots become more common The robots pay no attention to E13 as they cut open a metal gateway surrounding the large central building The team has sent a large staircase towards a landing with a large front door similar to a victorian palace Above the door words are engraved in gold reading hark loserin E13 tango is the first to step onto the landing at which point a metallic appendage protrudes from the floor The appendage moves to E13 tango with force wrapping itself around him and suspending him into the air Shoot E13 uniform and E13 whiskey each draw their firearms and proceed to fire several rounds into the appendage The appendage twitches before being torn from the wall E13 tango lands on the landing surrounded by now limp appendage By the now limp appendage with a heavy gash in his right arm Thank you Yeah, okay there boss. You're bleeding E13 victor extends a hand to E13 tango and helps him do his feet Well, I'm fine. It's just a flesh wound Team try the door and it is locked. They managed to open it after five minutes using a fire axe Team walks into a large room several stories tall The ceiling is covered with glass giving them a view of the twilight sky Seven glass sculptures line the walls each portraying a unique entity with a body not matching the rest in composition The room is lit by purple fires that float in mid air. Everything appears to be clean with no dust present anywhere Okay, am I going crazy or does this statue look familiar? No, not really wait Actually yet does it don't know from where though That's uh rakmo lucian What? There are salvation. They're the only remaining god of the koruteza Wait, that's the second high thought high-toth religion, isn't it? Don't tell me you actually believe in that stuff I love saying high-toth. Please don't patronize my faith like that E13 uniform can be seen rolling her eyes and groaning Will you two shut up? Let's just keep going A lot of westerners in here Instead of my manifest destiny because we're because we're like all cowboys. Is that what we're doing here? Boy, yeah, we're all using religiosity. Let's see what kind of colonizing the foundation's doing today Oh boy Epsilon 13 moved deeper into the structure traversing through several large corridors The rooms adjacent to the central chamber are filled with sculptures and artwork As the team moves deeper into the building more advanced technology becomes available with iron and bronze Taking the place of stone and marble on the fourth floor the team come Comes across a massive diamond cube floating several meters above the ground in a dimly dimly light room four stories high Beneath the machine is a metallic terminal with four buttons The diamond cube is covered in symbols on all sides in the center of each face is a seven tip star identical to the one on the doorway to the monolith The cube rotates at a slow constant rate glowing from a dim pulsating yellow team Dispersing around the room Inspecting the surrounding architecture in central cube E13 tango approaches the terminal below the central cube Heavy dust is present on the terminal and E13 tango blows the dust off the terminal blinks to life Now protecting a holographic password system similar to the ones found within the monolith E13 tango puts his left arm through the hologram with no effect Then he raises his right arm into it because his hand He then raises his right arm into it because his hand freezes and the hologram turns a shade of red and presses his hands against the machine A loud alarm is heard when E13 tango rests his right arm against it E13 tango attempts to move his arm, but appears unable to do so. His right arm slams down on the terminal with great force Uh All right, just while i'm thinking about this before we move on too far Besides the typos I had a lot of trouble in my tail ignorance is bliss with verb tenses and there's a lot of past and present tense switching that's Actually making parts of this rather hard to read author if you see this Please just full edit this baby Grammar check please and not just that like I was going to say this at the end But it's important to say it now you're talking about grammar There's a grammar issue an actual very apparent one in the first sentence of your article in the very little blurb at the beginning Uh with it when someone sees that scroll bar and the very first sentence includes an error You're I mean you're just cutting your own legs off at that point Agreeable agreeable. All right Fucking hell tango. What was that for you made me jump uh I didn't do that Syringes and wires protrude from the terminal injecting themselves into the open wound present on E13 tango's arm Blood can be seen being drawn out the floating cube lets out a loud noise and begins to spin slightly faster Other members of epsilon 13 can be seen drawing their firearms What did you do? Oh, shit Help me. I can't move my arm The floor underneath the cube opens up and a target mechanical device raises Rises until it connects with the cube causing it to cease rotation The walls surround agent tango and the terminal an orange liquid substance begins to fill the new container that E13 tango is now within E13 tango is seen thrashing violently during the entire process and blood is seen being extracted via the syringes Outside of this outside comma of this comma Large orange and red liquids can be seen filling in the crevices that lie in the cube and the cube vibrates slightly After 14 seconds the walls open up and E13 tango is ejected back into the chamber no longer attached to the terminal x-ray x-ray come in start the car. There's been a situation The lower sides of the cube open up creating a ramp down to the floor Heavy amounts of smoke pour out from within the side Mobile task force members each begin backing away slowly with the exception of E13 tango who lies on the floor two entities emerge from the smoke I notice that x-ray didn't say anything past the first Little little bit very very quiet type Also, I mean for some context if you're not familiar with the second high tough A lot of their stuff like works and is powered up by by blood they they require blood sacrifice for a lot of things This is interesting to me first the article is about a gun Then it's about a portal Then it's about the forest Now it's just it's the article's Primary topic seems to be changing and now i'm gonna bet it's about these new aliens that have come out Addendum 7000.04 the valterians group of interest 1739 The valterian are a species of non-anomalous extraterrestrials indigenous to scp 7000 prime According to them the valterian had existed for over a million years before a wk class mass extinction event Took place causing the death of an estimated 97 percent of all life in the solar system Only a few valterians were able to survive by hiding within a machine Cable hiding with a machine capable of reducing the passage of time within it to almost absolute zero They remained in this state for millions of years until interference by the scp foundation The valterian are devout followers of the church of the second high tough with their machines built around following religious practices The valterian participate in systematic bloodletting rituals on a quote daily basis All the machines used by the valterian are powered by blood a single gram of blood roughly equates to 2.5 hours of energy The valterian claim to be the children of uran musin the holy second The upper body of the species is cylindrical in shape with a singular large eye present at the top of the body giving access to 360 degree vision The valterian has 12 total appendages with four functioning as legs and the other eight acting as arms The lower pair of arms are solely used for feeding Its mouth is located at the bottom of the body around the legs The upper two pairs of the of arms are used for handling tools fighting climbing, etc The valterian stand on an average height of three meters Around the core of the upper torso is a sharp reflective disc that is impeded Impeded into their bodies. That's not the right word. Is it I think it's supposed to be embedded. There we go. Yes Valterians purposely cut themselves with the disc to perform bloodletting rituals This disc was not a result of natural evolution It was instead the result of genetic modifications to allow easier access to bloodletting rituals The valterian communicate using high frequency emotional wavelengths the vast difference in communication between humans and valterians has made use of Kundraki emotional links a necessary a necessity Footnote Kundraki emotional links are translators used to communicate with entities that communicate using complex wavelengths Initially designed to communicate with butterflies Kells had the ability to translate human speech into emotional wavelengths to communicate with a variety of emotion-based life forms Four communicates in that footnote. That was rough The valterian have been cooperative with the foundation expressing interest in learning about our world and the state of the universe at large foundation linguists are currently working alongside the valterian to translate the written language of keredi The official name of the valterian language into english Addendum seven thousand dot five exploration logs seven thousand dash eight and recovery Exploration team mobile task force beta seven codename maz hadders assigned personnel B zero seven november colin bayne b seven oscar reagan russak B seven papa rem tenaka B seven kebek Immanuel ball How about we do samaritan november? Oscar billeth and i'll take the other two Sounds good to me. It's not all look so we'll see how this turns out Sure The following was the first exploration attempt into the monolith footage was taken from the body camera attached to seven november Initial 15 minutes of footage have been cut due to lack of relevance All right, the monolith comes into view as beta seven reached the crest of a hill Team stops momentarily to collect samples before descending towards the structure The u live population around the monolith does not appear any different than other regions of the base valley Damn, they really weren't kidding when they said this thing was big. It's got to be like 700 meters tall Definitely bigger than the burge califa First off the burge is over 800 meters tall second. They already told us this thing's about 540 meters tall Were you even paying attention in orientation? I stand by what I said this thing is huge Beta seven reached the base of the monolith Seven november raises the camera upwards in an attempt to record its size. The peak is unable to be seen on the footage There doesn't seem to be any entryways on this side. So let's collect some samples before we try to find an entrance B7 kebek rests a hand against the monolith before jumping back Ow that thing stung this suits like five inches thick or something. How did it hurt? Beta seven collects samples of the soil and carefully extracts a u live before following along the perimeter of the monolith No crevices or dents are visible at any point on the exterior beta seven continue like this until finding an alteration Alternation on the northern wall A large door seven meters in height and 20 meters across comes into view when approach a large carving is brought into focus The carving is a massive seven pointed star with more stars forming at the tips Each with seven points as well at the center is a crescent shape with four lines pointing downward that continue until it reaches The end of the frame The door is flat with no handles or other indents The only change from the rest of the exterior is a small crevice running from the bottom up through the middle Attempts to open the door via pushing and pulling result in failure Contact with the door resulted in agents feeling a moderate electric shock How do you all how old do you think this thing is anyway? I'd like to say at least a hundred, but who am I to tell it's not our job to ask questions. That's what the big guys at base do Well, regardless this thing isn't budging. So time for plan b b7 kebek Prices a large diamond octagon onto the door the octagon twitches and makes a load A load ticking sound before squeezing into the crevice After four seconds the octagon expands rapidly bending the material on the door to form a small pathway The material is bent at odd angles You really think we should be doing that? It really doesn't look safe We'll be we'll be fine. I use this stuff all the time at home improvement. It's perfectly safe Beta seven enters a large dark room after walking a few steps inside fluorescent lights flicker to life A round desk is featured at the center of the room with a sign hanging above it bearing words in an unknown language No signs of life are present b7 oscar jumps over the railing and stands behind the desk behind the desk is a neck Of machinery that when pressed holographic monitors buzz to life on all sides of the monitor Do any of you guys know what we're looking at here? Yeah, it looks like a login page to me. Try typing something in Yeah, how do I do that exactly? I don't see a keyboard actually forget that there's only four buttons on this thing How am I supposed to use it? On the second floor a working elevator was discovered with over 700 buttons arranged in a grid The buttons were marked with lines. One button is lit up bearing the markings dash slash slash 700 floors. There's no way that's possible, right? This thing didn't look that tall Actually, you'd be surprised back in size seven. I was once inside a building with over 700 floors It was anomalous, of course, but still By meccane if I have to hear another home improvement story from you just press a button Seven comeback presses the fourth button on the top row when the doors to the elevator close The elevator begins descending as they descend the radiation levels found increase at a stable rate Beta seven proceeds to investigate the following seven floors at random in descending order All computer-like machinery functioned identical to the terminal found in the entry room Access dialogue cut due to lack of relevance The elevator door refused to open when attempting to access floors 151 through 160 When trying to access the 160 first floor the elevator door opened and beta seven was able to leave the elevator Beta seven entered into a large circular room lined with machinery The machinery in this room was all powered on Glass lines the inner wall of the circle looking into a chamber with a massive black sphere floating at the center Above it a massive glowing blue material lines the ceiling Layers of particles are being are seen being sucked out of it and into the black sphere The floor to the chamber to the camber Typo cannot be determined with a continuing straight down until out of sight What the hell is that? Kind of looks like a black hole don't you think No, I've I've seen a black hole before this looks nothing like that and if it was Wouldn't we all be dead by now? It doesn't really matter. We're still here, aren't we? I Whoa, we aren't even close to the bottom. Are we? How deep do you think it goes? Do you think it goes? That hole has to be at least a kilometer probably a lot more than that Beta seven searched the room over the following 10 minutes Objects were recovered including a small book and a jar willed with a glass jalous solution At one hour 42 minutes 51 seconds the room is illuminated with a flash of white light The point of origin was not directly caught on camera. The light was only present for less than 0.001 seconds B7 November can be heard cursing during the event and he stumbles over After a couple of seconds B7 November gets to his feet and turns toward the rest of the room B7 Oscar is on her knees with her hands rubbing her eyes What the heck was that? Ow that fucking stung. What the hell? Are you all right? Can you see me? How many fingers am I holding up? I'm fine. I'm fine. At least I think Oh, oh my god Quebec Camera is rotated 180 degrees towards the western half of the station B7 come back and B7 Papa are seen violently convulsing on the ground. All right, both of my characters died sweet No, I know there's actually a follow-up for once. It doesn't just stop and move on to a completely different story B7 Papa and B7 Quebec physical evaluation Dr. Min Conwell During exploration dot zero three agents Remton Aka and Emmanuel Ball were exposed to a concentrated amount of probability At what we are classifying as the core of the monolith While they were left safe from the radiation present in the area They've been left permanently disabled due to exposure to the core leaving them unable to hear or see properly While affected persons can still see and hear the world around them Their visual and auditory nerves are being overflowed with high levels of opportunity cost Leaving them unable to tell what is real and what is not Opportunity cost is the probability of something happening and the benefits and disadvantages of any individual action In reality, we only have one of these events occur But affected persons of the monolith's core are able to see and hear all possible scenarios that could take place Affected persons appear to have no control over the effect and while not in direct physical pain are in great discomfort due to their condition Communicating with Remton Aka and Emmanuel Ball directly should not be attempted verbally or through writing the probability cost of use actually speaking Verbally to them is incredibly high and simply thinking of a question will have an opportunity cost high enough that the question will be asked Attempting to ask questions outright will only make it harder for affected victims to hear an actual question through all the noise Right, I forgot this has to be about luck Yes, somehow Oh, holy shit. We're finally there All right. So, uh, I guess so my characters didn't die. I just get to do both interviews. So Uh, who wants to be conwell? I'll do conwell The following interview was conducted days following initial exposure in seven Quebec's medical room Begin log. Dr. Conwell has heard opening the and closing the door to the medical room Oh, which one was ball ball is uh Quebec Can you please sit down? It's annoying to hear so many footsteps pacing the floor My apologies Dr. Conwell can be heard sitting down Wow, the probability that you didn't listen to that is almost perfect I can only see a couple of you still standing and walking around. Thank you Know it really doesn't hurt all the time. I've started getting used to it at least a little When there's less stuff going on, it's easier to make out the small things No, I can still see what's going on. At least I think I can the problem is I don't know what's really going on I assume the real you are probably one of you sitting down right now and not the ones walking around Problem is you all look so real. I have no idea what's real and what's just a possibility Even my possible actions I can see but at least with what I know, it's not real I know where my hands and feet are so it is easy to distinguish What no stop talking too many of you are talking at once let one person speak at a time That includes you stop talking What does everything look like? Well, it sounds like a large crowd of people trying to all talk over each other Actually talking over each other isn't the right phrase actually because you aren't trying to talk over each other You're just talking but you are saying so many words at the same time. It doesn't make sense I don't even know if what any of I'm saying is actually responding to what you asked Probably not answering your question at all. Am I? Hey, can you at least answer this question for me? Have you guys found a way to fix me? Silence for the following 20 seconds Um We are working on it Hands up if you thought that the conversation was a typo before you got it I actually kind of like this as it as a concept. I don't think it's fully explored properly But I really like the idea that the questions are basically being asked without actually being asked. No, that's cool I like that. All right Conwell's back and now it's uh papa So the following interview was conducted days following initial exposure in b7 papa's medical room Dr. Conwell has heard sitting down in a chair Please shut up shut up. Please leave me alone. I I can't shut up Dr. Conwell and b7 papa sit in silence for the following minute the sound of rem's chair creaking against the floorboards can be heard Please I can't stop talking. Why won't you shut up already? It hurts. Just don't say a word. Please Classic Thank you. I I don't want to talk to anyone. It hurts Please take a pencil out of my room Please I don't trust myself to go near it. I keep seeing myself cutting myself with it I don't know why I don't want to hurt myself, but maybe I do Why am I stabbing myself with it so often? I don't understand Begins crying Please stop talking over yourself. What are you even saying? One of you speak at a time, please How often am I interrupting you? I'm I'm sorry for Never mind Please fix me. I can't keep doing this. I'm going to hurt myself. Why do I keep hurting myself? I don't want to No, I've never had suicidal thoughts. Oh god. Oh god. What if I did? What if I God End log Notes a guard should be stationed within Rem Tanaka's room at all times She is to be under constant surveillance and staff are not to speak with her verbally to prevent unneeded discomfort She is to be supplied with a daily dose of antidepressants and assigned a therapist Wait, but a therapist won't it's a billion therapist now That doesn't fit the never sorry continue. I'm just going to scroll this article real quick How far are we are you doing a cost-benefit analysis at this point? I am there's exploration logs with tabable video feeds The thing is like I could see a lot of work was put into this and I appreciate the dedication to that But you know less is more With how many have to cover I'm calling for a vote at the cost-benefit analysis. I'm going to state my case here for why I think we should move on the Enough typos I understood Because it's very long getting someone to read it clearly before your eyes glaze over. I get getting it wrong I've done it before it'll do it again Some random phrases were like the same word was used like the central monolith in the center of town The reality in the reality room stuff where it's like the the large monolith in the large chamber with the large carving on it That was like simple writing structure problems the Dialogue doesn't really click for me and a lot and even though I like a lot of these concepts. I think that the author here has Tried to cash a check or try to write a check. They couldn't cash And that if they had done like a lot more writing and did this for longer and took the time on it This could be good But right now it's just so much and The same issues keep cropping up. And so I don't think I'm I would I would argue I would argue if I had one macro critique of this and that's not getting into the granular and obviously grammatical That's that's obvious, but that another macro critique of this It's not telling one story Yeah, this I mean, yes, these do lead into each other. There's a very loose connection to them But this so far we've gone through probably At least three probably five Distinct stories that could be their own articles Yeah And only one of them. They're not finishing about the topic of luck and that's the and they're not finishing either No, they're not being finished. They're just I mean moving on. They might they might be all tied up together at the end They have been well, that's a pacing problem. Yeah. No, they have been kind of a consistent like chain at least I could see that but So you know they're bringing in fattiest Yank so, you know, they're they're going in full temporal nominees department stuff later on and I mean like like you said a lot of these concepts are really cool And like I would personally explore a lot of these concepts and I have like 29 21 has the same sort of like probabilistic splitting effect, but it's a you know a thousand words and It gets what it needs to get done done This is like earlier when I pointed out the thing about the fox with the lab coat, right? That one concept is intriguing enough to be its own article that little individual bit There's so many of that in here But it's all thrown in together and just a single thing that is too incoherent to work For some reason the thing that got me was that uh when they wrote 180 degrees They just superscripted in a lowercase. Oh instead of a degree symbol and for some reason that that just That made me Like die a little bit inside If but if we're gonna move on maybe we should stop dunking on yeah, no, no It's it. No, I like I said, I really do think that there's a lot of good here Honestly, you know, like because I love a good space skip. I love a good science fiction exploration like heavy extra terrestrial type skip, but Author if you watch this stream, I want you to mostly take away that I like your idea, but You need to make us care about it earlier Story wise and you need to rework a lot of the Spelling grammar stuff like that. Try you try reading it out loud to yourself and seeing how that sounds. I find them all Yeah All right, so I I gotta give this a down vote for now. I didn't finish it. I understand but I don't I just can't see This is site ready right now. I think it's not ready yet I would agree with that and I guarantee you that part of the grammatical problems is this is Likely not a native English speaker and they wrote something that was so long That they couldn't get anyone to fully grammar check it for them. I'm betting that's the case here Because you can tell from some of the awkward phrasings involved I actually know risky the author. Well, I don't know him but no um, but um I've I've talked to risky in chat in scpd before And I'm sure if they if they haven't if they're not watching I will I'll let them know if the two uh take a look Yeah All right good night recovered device I felt like the the title was a reference to uh recovered document from the Marianas trench, but it's I don't think it is It sounded similar to me All right, so Ooh, it's another long one scp 7,006 feet under by This one's a good one. No, this is a good one. I've read this already I I have not seen most of these so oh, but it's got a 105. So at least uh, the community's on board All right, and ralston's uh good authors ralston's a good guy All right, so I'll start this one off Classified by the authority of the scp foundations 054 the analyst This document and all associated documents are the property of scp foundation and are subject to the classification requirements and restrictions therein This document may not may or may not contain lethal magnetic defense procedures measures Attempting to access or disseminate this document without proper and sufficient authorization is punishable by death I'm not going to read the off token Item number seven thousand level five top secret Containment class esoteric secondary class archon Disruption class ecchi risk class critical Image caption part of scp 7000 as seen during the activation of one of its protective runes Assigned site site zero one site director o five one Research heads o five four and o five eight assigned task force alpha one red right hand Special containment procedures The containment of scp 7000 has been indefinitely suspended Despite this and in accordance with the shepherd agreements the containment of any scp 1000 instances spotted by foundation assets outside of the area Is still to be carried out as per standard protocol For ease of contact numerous portals connecting site zero one and site scp 7000's inner sanctum have been constructed Their maintenance is to be considered one of the most important and primary duties Of onsite thaumaturges from both thaumaturges from both parties To ensure proper political contacts at least one member of the o five council, but note Currently and most frequently o five four Alongside mobile task force alpha one red right hand are to be located within scp 7000 foundation and embassy at all times They're uh and are to be monitored by the second research head overseer as stated above ground in site.

There it is uh due to human action during an event referred to as the day of the flowers It it is the primary habitat hotspot for over 90 89 of all scp 1000 instances living on earth footnote homo o sapiens noctis often referred to as yearan a sentient race of humanoids Carved in fur roughly as intelligent as humans Acted as the dominant species on earth prior to humanity taking lead after overthrowing scp 1000s dominance And currently hosts over two billion citizens self referred to by its citizens as the city of Dhruv tool i don't know if i said that right Full name being Dhruv to Allah had translated from the year in language to approximately mean the key to our final frontier Dhruv to all uh the most common short version of the full city name itself simply means the key It is heavily reinforced by antimemetic and thaumaturgic seals that prevent accidental outside discovery and protect it From the national naturally harsh environment uh affecting its location scp 7000's physical makeup and society are each divided into five separate parts internally referred to as rings Despite their proximity these rings do not interact outside of transportation systems between them The the rings them uh primarily The rings primarily differ from each other based on their intended respective purposes For example rings of rings one two through four focus themselves solely on physical work But no such as material excavation refinement transport and construction Whilst the fifth ring the highest possible social position within scp 7000's society Hosting its aristocracy and king further referred to as scp 7000-k Inside the four other rings is concerned only with the maintenance of thaumaturgical binds and rituals protecting the city Effectively acting as the administrative organ for scp 7000 while further utilizing the work of other rings as preparations for the sundown ritual Although the building's making up the different rings possess a variety of appearances All of them are composed of a combination of metallic and organic materials Estimated to be severely technologically ahead of humanity's current advancement The sundown ritual itself along with any and all preparations for it is the primary quote goal in focus of scp 7000 citizens and their work Considered to be the central idea of scp 7000's culture It was deduced to be a hyper complex thaumaturgical ritual that would utilize the entire area of the city An extremely specific and complicated markings laid out within its thaumatic circle thaumic circle Focusing all energy harnessed towards the inner sanctum where scp 7000 k would then use that energy to complete the ritual Although its exact characteristics are unknown recovered scripture and information retreat from scp 7000-k suggests that When finalized it would cause the creation of some sort of immensely powerful lantern construct That would guide the supposedly lost god-like scp 1000 instance referred to by year in scripture as Fommet with its dimensionally crossing light allowing it to reclaim his guideship over his people For further information see scp 7000 cultural briefing and that's on the side here I think i'll read that first There we go scp 7000 cultural briefing The culture of the people of scp 7000 uh the culture of the people of scp 7000 bear is Strange frankly these people focus their entire lives on nothing but torturous work with no outcome other than the purpose I promise that one day thanks to their sacrifice. They will bring their god back home Perhaps it is due to more than 200 000 years of isolation From the outside world they've endured but they do not seem to care about their fate. They cherish it in fact To be part of a greater whole is to them the ultimate purpose of life They've known nothing else for so long. How could it be anything but that? The interesting thing however is that the rulers of druvetuul Uh aren't different from the most powerful politicians governing daily production rates to the king himself They seem equally ecstatic about their goal Of course the fact that the big majority of their preparations are already complete must definitely help this view But it cannot strike me. It cannot help but strike me as odd at least In all my years. I've seen nothing like this for once to bear witness to a society devoid of anything but work Even crime It's still maintaining normal people as its citizens is bizarre One explanation is that their god this fumet They speak of is simply worth all the troubles all material I've recovered that refers to the being describes him as a figure reminiscent of buddha or eon A benevolent teacher of his kind showing them the world for what it truly is The stories I've read talk of him eventually departing for a great journey across the myriad of worlds out there And searched for more wisdom to pass to his children after he gave them all knowledge he had but I cannot help But feel a little suspicious towards this whole idea We've never recovered any strong evidence to support the existence of someone similar to fumet in history But on the other hand nothing ever revealed or said by anyone within sp7000 even remotely suggests their plan Focuses on anything else but a genuine will to bring back the beloved messiah I do not know what to think of the situation I just hope that neither of these stories nor the men that listened to them proved to be wrong Except from a study on the culture of scp 7000 by 054 released by internal foundation publishing discovery scp 7000 was discovered during the aftermath of the great chilean earthquake that occurred on May 22nd of 1960 Due to the magnitude of the event it was initially believed to have been caused by anomalous influence The foremost theory suggesting it was caused by a para weapon or eigen weapon test in the area which destabilized local reality But no This was at the time a relatively common occurrence due to the ongoing paramilitary arms race caused by the cold war Despite foundation research ultimately concluding that it was in reality an entire natural phenomenon Retreating research has spotted multiple humanoid figures in the area immediately following the earthquake's occurrence In which captioned the chilean city of valde a valdivia. I'm immediately following the 1960 earthquake Further research by the site personnel revealed that the year end originated from a large Previously undiscovered cave that led into what is now classified as scp 7000 the likes of which is located beneath the city of valdivia It would later be revealed that the earthquake had managed to damage the binds of one of scp 7000's Antiomatic seals and then guarded it that guarded against the above ground city entry above ground entry prompting citizens to repair them And leading to instances being spotted by foundation staff a series of new scans and thumb turgic echolocation Practices conducted with the consideration of said seals then revealed the existence of a location near the earth's core Which was then classified as scp 7000 Due to significant size and potential Relation to scp 1 000 the project and all further research into the anomaly was immediately promoted to level alpha priority Before a foundation manned mission into the location could be dispatched. However, oh five four Foundation history experts specializing in the history of the anomalous especially in fey and year and related fields of study The decided research head for the project made the following statement Ever since we've found ourselves Amidst the chaos following the sixth the cold war in the winter of 1870 The existence of scp 7000 or at least something very similar to it has been Suspected by myself and my team We'd always known where our second biggest neighbor the fey lived Avalon as painful as its loss may have been ester bergen high brasil Have been no secrets to any member of the anomalous world But yeran or the children of the night as we like to call them back then Had no such place to call home No matter where we researched or how hard we tried it just simply didn't exist so That was what what led ourselves to believe that for over 90 years And then the second 22nd of may happened. I'd be lying if I said, uh, finally getting through proof of scp 7000's existence isn't Exciting to say the least. It's one of the biggest breakthroughs. I've ever made in my study of scp 1000's culture For years uncounted the mysteries of who the particular Fommett was and what the key he gifted to his kind is have trapped my mind These questions were my primary drive towards the uh here in the foundation. So after so many years To discover potential answers to them by pure luck is not just unthralling. It's exhilarating I'd like it to be known that every department of history doctor every lone researcher with a passion for this field Similar to mine come to me come to me and you will be given a chance to explore scp 7000 and the mysteries alongside me After we make first contact with alpha one Come to me and together we shall finally put this puzzle together and make the riddle That is our past present and future into a fully comprehensive set come with me in 058 above ground And we and might we might just make the bright future we promised ourselves In the paranormal after the factory into a reality footnote Referring to the event during which the foundation inadvertently caused the death of over 75 of the entire fay population Forcing the organization to adopt a strategy of helping and cooperating with the anomalous A little hard to read that text I have but one simple request to all those who accept my invitation Be careful After what we've done to those that live in the forest we can absolutely not allow ourselves to Bring the same fate to those that inhabit that lands below us because otherwise That might finally prove to be what unmakes us 054 the Addendum 7000-1 initial exploration of scp 7000 date May uh may 22nd 1960 exploration team mobile task force alpha one squad bravo red right hand Subject scp 7000 team lead a dash one dash one team members a dash one dash two a dash one dash three a dash one dash four and a dash one dash five Forward for ease of entry mtf alpha one was transported via the usage of Apportation as closely to the borders of scp 7000 as possible Due to the existence of an impassable wall created by the thaumaturgic protection sigils guarding the city direct transportation into scp 7000 itself was deemed impossible The closest possible apportation distance and the distance to which alpha one was transported was 500 meters Due to the depth they were covered in a plethora of cooling and protective symbols Which would absorb the heat from around them and protected them against pressure Now do you want to split this up? Let's see sure Yeah, just looking it looks like alpha one has the Maybe the most lines again through five And then there's also command and command the king at the bottom. I checked. All right. All right. So i'll be command a dash one dash one and uh king and Uh samarine if you want to take odds and sherman evens That sounds good. Okay. All right I don't know I didn't want to look that close No, it's just I was thinking two and three and then three and four because it's easier for me to remember than odds Oh, we did odds and evens last week. Yeah, that was right. I didn't that was an apropos of nothing But if you want to do would you like that would that be easier for you? I'll do two and three. Yeah, these are Okay, two and three four and five sure Begin log As footage connects again members of alpha one are laying on the ground in the dark large dark grotto The thaumaturgic circle in which they were teleported can still be seen fading into the around the five It's red markings and sigils disappearing into the bottom floor of the course ground floor of the course of a few seconds When no runes remain all five stand up and take their take in their surroundings Although the caverns walls are visible its ceiling extends upwards into darkness Alpha one dash one flashes her light at it at the pillar of light dies after 20 meters upwards She switches it off and turns to the rest of her team Command this is one speaking All five members reported present no damage done by procedure over We hear you loud and clear one over The four remaining members come closer replacing alpha one dash ones light with their own Although these newly activated beacons through these newly activated beacons Two corridors terminating at the end of the cavern can are revealed one leading up one leading down The five turned towards the ladder readying their weapons Tuning their vision to infrared But no thaumaturgically augmented due to the surrounding temperature to only pick up the heat of living beings And turning their lights off To reporting in we've located our target requesting approval to engage over Approval granted to over and out a alpha alpha one dash two nods to alpha one dash one who in turn looks at the remaining operatives They all point their para weaponry into the gaping darkness that engulfs the corridor in front of them Alpha one dash three signals the rest to stop and closes their eyes After five seconds of deep focus they open them again and slowly proceed forward Their companions follow shortly after As the strong breeze of wind rushes through the passageway without an apparent source Alpha one dash five turns back frantically scanning the corridor behind him The others stop but continue seconds later. I'll be up more slowly this time with alpha one dash five guarding their backs Alpha one dash three remains in front The three others turn their vision to the walls surrounding them through the structure that is nothing majorly out of the ordinary The walls are unnaturally even and smooth It wasn't for the fact that the pathway was constant constantly descending downwards Its frame would be a perfect perpendicular two meter square Alpha one three dashes their eyes Spits their eyes rather You feel this Alpha one dash five raises an eyebrow Do I feel what Alpha one dash three draws a circle in the air with their right hand, but continues walking forward Dis warmth Alpha dash alpha one dash two rolls their eyes We're a thousand meters underground. Of course. We feel warmth Now I mean like Whatever's down here. It's It's good. That kind of warped you the the type you felt when your mother hugged you when you were seven Uh, weren't you meant to be 20? Footnote referring to alpha one dash three's cognitive resistance value Or crv of 20 as dictated by their natural limited prophetic skills combined with extensive foundation training I am that's why I pointed it out. It's weird Alpha one dash one gets ahead of alpha one dash three signaling the other to remain behind God knows what lies there We're dealing with an artifact from an age when humans weren't even around in our current form. Who the hell knows? alpha one dash one size Just keep on going Now no longer leading alpha one dash three looks at the walls too This time they're covered in a plethora of markings not found to be thermothalmaturgical in nature They begin as simple shapes and lines, but over the time Turn into larger structures eventually concluding in a red Serpentine slash that forms rough outlines of a small humanoid figure As the corridor progresses the figure morphs into more and more drawings In just mere meters spawning a series of what appear to be working creatures carrying chunks of rock and metal into a giant the giant plant like refineries From there they transport the material towards a castle From which a large beam is ejected into a night sky surrounded by stars About the palace however a single white border can be seen separating the below from the cosmos The beacon terminates upon meeting it. This scene is repeated over and over over the course of 200 meters of wall as the team passes Suddenly the sound of rapid footsteps is heard coming from behind the team Alpha one dash five flinches starts to frantically aim at the darkness in front of them His radars do not pick up any heat Did anyone else see that? The rest stops silently preparing their weapons alpha one dash one and alpha one dash three focus on the front While alpha one dash two and alpha one dash four alpha one dash five were direct directed their sight towards the back For 10 seconds. They make no sound and do not move The second wave of wind flashes before the team this time in its front Alpha one dash three who is in its middle Turns towards it. They groan slightly and gently touch their head They'll just notice this and focus entirely on observing their surroundings When infrared shows up nothing they all look at alpha one dash three they nod and the team changes their vision to eve The entire cave is revealed to glow with heavy magic backlash Rapidly charging its eve density and focus every second The radiation dances around them like a flame Focusing mostly on alpha one dash three and a few unspecified points in the distance For a split second the task force members look at these patterns losing focus on the corridors In that moment the cave's magic goes almost dark As the eve patterns reform themselves into a humanoid shape in the distance alpha one dash five camera locks onto it Recognizing it as a living being It starts to rapidly approach the team Image caption recorded camera footage Hostile spotted requesting permission to open fire Alpha one dash one starts to run and her support and subordinates join soon join her Denied denied engaged with locals no matter what commenced forward She starts to pan although her tone is calm. It is obvious. She's having trouble maintaining this voice Alpha one continues to rat to quickly make its way towards the forward as the path Starts to slide more and more downwards The markings on the walls turn from the previously described paintings into formations of gears keys and moon-like shapes They grow bigger and bigger as the corridor becomes tighter and tighter eventually allowing only one person to stand in at once Alpha one dash one takes the lead and accelerates leading the others to do the same Alpha one dash three groans again This time much more loudly And the one eave-centered figure approximately 40 meters in the back suddenly turns into three Eventually into five. They too pick up their pace Fuck fuck command. Do you copy? The five turns into 10 We in audible lash in audible ken in audible Inaudible can The 10 turns into 20 their distance decreases to 30 meters Alpha one dash one firmly taps her ear her headpiece This is one requesting backup 20 no 30 hostile is about to engage with us pull us out The 30 turns into 40 As the team continues to maintain an increased pace the corridor terminates two meters above the ground in the next chamber Causing the five to fall and roll in seconds They stand up again and continue their walk the new area is much larger and wider than the pathway they arrived through Although it is entirely devoid of eave towards it is the end towards its end a large opening can be seen It is blindingly dense With both light and magic energy gaping through it from the other side Cam the image caption is recorded camera footage Alpha one dash five looks at the hole they fell through in this pitch black All of the figures previously outlined as well as following them Stand at its end, but do not move They suddenly observe alpha ones movements as they continue forward into the light once more alpha one dash one takes lead The others follow carefully observing the standing human rights whose face is slowly turned to follow the teams every step alpha dash one Dash three swallows hard Alpha one dash one tells the remaining team members to ignore the observers and starts to firmly walk around Firmly walk forward the others comply and in a few moments Are at the threshold of the light Alpha one do inaudible. I repeat inaudible alpha one dash one stops Command can you hear us? Alpha one one it is inaudible command command Alpha one dash one repeatedly taps her headphones only forcing the voice of command to dissolve faster In just mere moments it dissipates into static alpha one dash one swears and massages her tempos Seconds later, she picks up the pace again and shrugs. She takes a deep breath pauses and walks through the light the rest of alpha one follows suit The feed cuts off for approximately 10 seconds Blinded by the intensity When it reconnects the when it reconnects the team is standing in a large cavern It is blindingly bright with eave radiation forcing alpha one to switch back to normal vision Now it can be seen that the grotto is at least 500 meters tall and 50 meters wide Its formation is reminiscent of a monumental man-made hall Its floor is paved and its walls are comprised of bricks and polished stones Throughout the length of the corridor of both sides a series of approximately 1,000 humanoid statues stand They depict various members of the scp seven seven scp one thousand race All of them have had their eyes closed and their hands folded They are all holding stone staffs all of which are embedded into the dirt Alpha one dash ones breath starts to tremble Despite no identifiable light source being present the entire area is dimly lit and half filled with fog In the distance a 30 meter tall wall can be seen made up of carefully crafted pillars and flanks Magma is dripping from the drains located inside of it Splitting the liquid uh spitting liquid out into the river crossable only by a large stone bridge In the wall center and equally monumental gate constructive in the form of a white Ferd sc one thousand instance with a key and the crown above its head Stands wide open revealing a small corridor terminating in solid doors within On top of a connected gate tower nestled on the bronze tiles making up its roof A three meter tall figure covered in shadow stands looks directly at the team Command what what is the recommended course of Alpha one dash three touches alpha one dash one's shoulder You look each other deep in the eyes Alpha one dash ones breathing slows down Alpha one dash three touches the hand of alpha one dash one that is connecting to the earpiece and gently shows her to let it go Starting to walk in the direction of the gate Alpha one dash one closes her eyes and inhales but follows the other eventually slows the rest of the team Halfway to the gate the statues animate and start to rhythmically pound their staffs into the floor To this repetitive and deafening tune they start to vocalize chanting noises in an unknown language The team flinches and starts to run towards the gate as more and more of the sculptures can be seen Is revealed that they're not artificial constructs, but merely sc one thousand instances with skin similar to stone in color They open their eyes and start to sting faster The figure at top of the gate draws forth some sort of weapon from its back Static copy repeat alpha one. Do you copy? Belief runs through alpha one dash one's face despite this she keeps careful watch on the humanoid atop the tower Thank god. Yes command we copy. Can you see our feed? Yes, inaudible we do we cannot pull you out of here the inaudible eve inaudible too high for inaudible All operation you're on your own Shit, what should we do? I'm afraid the only recommendable inaudible of action is continuing forward towards the inaudible gate Retreat is inadvisable What why? The entities that we're chasing you have now inaudible. There is inaudible thousand of them Alpha one dash one begins to tremble Can you can you at least identify those chants? What are they? What do they mean? For a few seconds. No answer is heard we We believe the word people that we believe that those people are repeating the words for Bay butchers in inaudible language Jesus fucking Christ. I Continue and we inaudible Transfeed once again turns into static Shit shit shit shit at this point the team reaches the bridge. There are only 100 meters away from the gate As the first alpha one member sets foot on the structure stones the figures Standing on the tower suddenly jumps forward landing just 10 meters in front of the team forcing a cloud of smoke and dust into the air When it settles down the individual is revealed to be a three three point five meter tall Whiteford sp 1000 instance It is wearing heavy armor constructed from Organic metallic the organic metallic material ending in steel gloves with giant knuckles And it's left hand the two meter sword vibrating with heat from the magma inside its translucent cast is seen Around it breath turns into steam above the instances a scarred face Tain uh, yeah Tainted with a single white eye a crown like yellow formation is levitating The being growls and grasps its unaccompanied hand And the tips of its fingered brown sparks fly out into the air Making the head pieces of the staff uh half of the team explode from eve overdose The the being froze its prowls All alpha one members swallow hard Suddenly the being laughs Welcome children of adam. I hope your journey here was most pleasant Although sdb 7000 Dash k's voice is extremely rough with its accent leading into the over articulation of the phenomes dg hw and Oh, I actually don't know the pronunciation of those You know linguists in the chat. Don't tell me the english it uses is easily comprehensible It comes closer extending its arms and smiling wily. I'm also not going to follow that that paradigm. Sorry I don't know it Oh, it seems my messages did not manage you well to welcome you properly. What a shame I cannot imagine what a nightmare navigating these corridors must have been up for above grounders like you Hey sdb 7000 dash k turns around and starts to walk towards the corridor inside the gate When after a few seconds no alpha one member follows. He once again looks at them genuine surprise painting his face What seems to be the matter? I would expect uh, it would be uh, it would quite a shame Type of there if heroes like you were to refuse a feast within a sacred city of druv to all I Was so excited to finally asked No, it's finally talked to your kind after all you've done since we last met Although I did hope to converse with one of your leaders if you know what I'm saying. Hey Sdb 7000 dash k right wraps his right arm around alpha one dash one shoulders who flinches Come I'm sure the rest of the guests are restless by now As alpha one dash one complies with the beings orders signaling the rest to follow They all exchange nervous looks but continue to their walk forward eventually making their way into the tight corridor within the gate They walk like this for approximately two minutes at the end of which they meet large wooden doors Sdb 7000 dash k opens them widely smiling even more than before Welcome friends to druv to all it all it had After more than 200 millennia let us feast together in memory of your recent brave deeds for the night is still young image caption and recorded camera footage He laughs and gestures the team to enter with his gigantic muscular hands They listen to his request and the feed gets filled with error after error error with every even light parameter overloading One by one every alpha one member disconnects the log terminates And log closing statement due to an overload of eve radiation on a scale almost never seen before Both the camera and audio feeds of alpha one members have been terminated As they were not built to withstand such tremendous stimuli for the next 36 hours No contact from the agents was initiated. I need to have a drink. Also. I'm finding this hard It's like readability is a little hard for me. I don't know if it's my monitor or whatever But it's kind of straining the color palette Addendum 7000 dash two post exploration data exchange After exactly 36 hours following alpha ones feeds going online Its agents were suddenly teleported inside the main quarters at site zero one They were all perfectly intact although they were all wearing highly unusual clothing and were extremely dirty They were immediately detained and quarantined despite this all scans prove that they were Under no anomalous or thaumaturgic influence and they were and were merely minorly more eve radiating and expected When this was confirmed 054 personally requested an audit with the team's leader alpha one dash one For the sake of detailed questioning in regards of their exploration mission It was approved by 058 shortly after yet. It's the dark. It's the quote blocks That's what it is. It's the dark with the white text that that's that's what's bothering me May 26 1960 interviewed samira rodriguez alpha one dash one interviewer 054 Forward before this interview is conducted initial questions by site zero one staff revealed rodriguez to be entirely healthy capable and free of any anomalous influence Including mimetic or mind affecting phenomena Despite this and to ensure the safety of both involved parties Especially due to their level five and level six clearances respectively The conversation was undertaken with a specially prepared room detailing the individuals by a Separating see like separating the individuals by a single pane of extremely durable protective glass Begin log You want me to take 054? Sure. That would be great. I can drink a little water Yeah, because actually you still have a ton of reading because you would be I know I still won but still yeah I realize it I realize it may not be easy for you, but please tell me everything you can remember from your time with scp 7000 anything you could remember is crucial information for both me and the council rodriguez takes a deep breath All right, I you got our footage until you reach those doors, right? 054 nods right, okay rodriguez closes her eyes trying to gather her thoughts We passed through into a corridor just like the one we came through in in the giant gateway It was definitely larger than the one before though and its decorations There was something like those drawings of stars and working year in at the beginning, but much More advanced I understand they differed from the previous ones Yes They were still the same scenes just crafted with much more care They weren't just lines forming into figures this time their composition was immaculate almost But the image it was still the same people carrying ingredients into plants and then sacrificing them To some magic beam shooting into a border in the sky Seems like something important to them, especially considering it kept popping up, but But I digress the corridor was long really long. I can't say for how long we walked It was at least an hour the king scp 7000-k. I mean Kept that happy expression all throughout even after we told him we needed a break many times It was almost as if he didn't listen He just told us we needed to hurry to some feast and how happy he was that the whole children of adam visited the domain of his people once more Whatever that means I'm still not sure if he did that with joy or some sort of insanity driven passion He put significant weight on the word adam every single time Any idea why sir? I'm afraid not Did this strange behavior continue for your Entire visit Whatever you guys shakes their head shakes your head No When we entered the city after hours of just walking through the same corridor it changed From happiness to pride overbearing pride 054 leans forward in the chair the city It was like nothing I'd ever seen Not even al-gada at that felt that strange Drove tool as they called it was simply monumental On a scale. I didn't think was possible On a scale that by all means felt like it shouldn't be possible But there it was Our first contacts was in some work district. I think The sky at least 20 kilometers beneath the cave ceiling was just engulfed in a sea of fire smoke and dust From every corridor of the place you could feel steps and voices always murmuring about work That's all I could really gather from what little year and I know We walked above them as uh above them all on some golden bridge k didn't even look at the world beneath him He just marched straight on his hammer's fell and engine's ward I couldn't do as little as uh catch a glimpse of what the buildings were made from All I could see below were his subjects who greeted him kneeling amongst flow flowing molten metal suffocating smog and deafening cracks in stone Again, we walked but this time without exhaustion It was if upon entering into this sanctuary almost Felt as if it melted away our restless steps were accompanied by warmth Always exuding from the myriad pipes and valves while the world was eliminated by the fires and magma Dripping down from the ceiling onto the controlled cast and lakes The people they turned like gears Every moment every single goddamn movement they made was somehow contributed to whatever machine they were making Even as they wandered streets engraved in symbols I did not understand The symbols could you elaborate on them? They were everywhere ideally geometrical and seemingly untainted by all of the dirt That they covered the cobblestone streets of drove tool in their various shapes and sizes They were laid on every centimeter of the path all of it Rodriguez shakes her head Excuse my flowery language sir, but I just It felt so surreal. It's difficult to talk about without getting a bit emotional And I feel like normal words wouldn't do it fully do it justice Don't worry. I understand Let me see The city though. Was there more to it? Surely it didn't just spend 36 hours wandering around factories Rodriguez touches her forehead Eventually, I could not tell you how long even if I tried we made it to the palace. I mean Takes a deep breath We went through some golden pathways I felt we're reserved only for those of 7000 dash case kind And arrived in the single biggest area I've ever seen sir. I give you a comparison, but Do you know the feeling of stargazing on a cloud this night? That overwhelming notion of incomprehensible size weighing down upon your measly shoulders Now take that abysmal scale and apply it to every direction That is what this was That was the cave of the inner sanctum a place beyond size beyond time beyond man itself Extending everywhere forever It's nearly unbearable I You know, I'm not a cowardly person sir, but that It struck fear into my heart like it was telling me I was unworthy to even look at it pauses From its ceiling whatever it was lava fell Filling an impossible hot ocean around equally impossibly large and far away island and atop it Rodriguez pauses to take multiple deep breaths We If you need a moment we could pause No, I just needed to gather my thoughts Atop the island there was the palace It was a monument to the capabilities of man built from metal and tangled with plants sending so large and proud that in this undefeatable incomprehensible space as if it was challenging the rules of reality itself This guy's given towers waved flags covered with keys started in crowns And nearly blinding lights shine from everywhere Uh shine from somewhere all around a big tree so big it reached above the structure With a hollow middle It all just stood there Laughing at the world around it Bearing it to come and try it And guided by the king who went inside Where do we get swallows? Forgive me for bringing algata up again, but I need something to compare it to simply To simply put what we saw into words Similarity led to that within the castle. There was a feast A feast like I'd never experienced Making my every sense explode with a billion feelings. I didn't know existed Walking through those halls felt like a fever dream As me and my team navigated to a hundred rooms with so many people I couldn't even begin to describe it all Abarash they I mean alpha one dash three They were bordering on insanity Experiencing all of those foods and drinks and smells and sights I could feel their every sense made more conscious by their skills practically practically begging for help But in their eyes, I could see they didn't want it to stop the feast What was that like? We didn't join the festivities upon upon arrival not yet Before we could sit down in the throne room Kay took us to some at this point unexpectedly large balcony That overlooked the magma lake from two kilometers above On his shores I could see the towering humanoid figures standing and stretching forever into infinity And above us the sky we could finally see there were stars Fake ones that I'm sure but they looked like the real things dancing around in those artificial cosmos Yet they were brighter than what I'd known stars to look like It was as if someone that made them had never seen them before he the king I mean said Something about Well liberation awaiting or something equally and on his son sensical as he pointed at his own virtual universe above his head And then we went back in Again, I cannot begin to describe what it was truly like The halls were filled with various sp 1000 nobilities and mages but I'm certain Uh, and all were carefully looking at us as we made our way towards our designated seats Somehow he knew they were that we somehow knew they were ours They were the only ones that weren't filled by guests There were six of them five bearing the names of my team and the sixth one. It simply said it belonged to a redacted put note redacted per o five council identity protection program. Okay Rodriguez looks o five four directly in the eyes not blinking for a moment. He sighs She nods her head and then looks at the ground He sold us to our chairs And just told us to quote have fun And that we did I think I don't remember You uh, you don't remember It went by infinitely fast and yet impossibly slow at the same time It was if Time itself and unraveled is nothingness for an impossibly drunk mate All while making me experience and consume things not meant for my brain my soul Like miasma that drug like ecstasy spread to my people and then it came back to a tenfold It was like like a secondingly real fever dream It's uh tainted only by the sour smell of alcohol mixed with the sweet taste of food I'm sure our new specialist will tell you more because I can't remember anything else all All I can tell it for certain is that after more than a day of that King came to get a k-k game to get us once more He gently tapped us on our shoulders and said it was time to go. We were disappointed. I could feel that O five four raises the eyebrow Before he sent us back. He he leaned in close to me Uncomfortably so and just sort of stared at the chair. He had been empty all night stared in pause whispered something to me O five four leans in closer Yes What was it He he said he wanted to talk to you sir and along Closing statement as per her own request Rod Regans was amnesticized regarding O five four's name during her standard post mission treatment In additional granted requests sent by O five four reduced squad bravo alpha over dash one to non vital mission status With included holidays for the next month reasoning given regarded as a reward for their efforts In the above mission Immediately following the conduction of the above interview O five four immediately made his way into the site zero one summit hall While he proceeded to call a non-emergency meeting of the O five council Attached below is a transcript of the meeting that follows Okay May 26 1960 parties present O five one two O five four O five seven eight and O five fifteen Let's take two and four sure um, I'll take eight and thirteen Okay, so you get one and seven got it Forward due to a majority of the O five council being offset at the time due to parties attending to vital foundation missions Builds in this elsewhere They were unable to find the attend the summit as such only those at the board of directors listed above participated beginning log O five eight enters the summit hall O five one O five four O five thirteen's ghosts and part of the supercomputer hosting O five two are already present As she closes the doors behind her the room disconnects from baseline reality become an exclusionary safe zone She sits in her reserve seat and crosses her legs looking at O five four with an expression of dissatisfaction What is it? O five four is attempting to get the council's permission for a venture into scp 7000 alone O five eight looks at the expressionless monitor simulating O five two's face Raising an eyebrow and then turns to O five four after a record after a second she scoffs You're kidding, right? O five four squints his eyes crossing his arms I am not O five eight chuckles All right, so we've all just collectively lost our minds this morning. It seems that's great to hear fantastic O five eight looks at O five one And what's the reason for you letting one of our most important members just waltz into an actual year in Metropolis at the center of the earth like they don't want to kill us for a billion different reasons Come on. You can do better than that It's stupid and would not only put him out to danger Which you know, I would very much not like But also sabotages our little project here O five one size Eight please You cannot deny 7000 holds immense historical and research potential Which would be undoubt which would undoubtedly provide answers to hundreds of questions. We've never answered And So that is why you're allowing him out of all people to go there To answer some questions for you You're just going to ignore all of our post factory safety protocols and just let him again him from all of history Barge in there like it's good old 1900 again. Can you I don't know not I'm speaking in both official and personal authority here O five four turns towards O five eight I'm The best man for the job. We all know that O five eight does not turn towards O five four Well, actually alpha one was at least they were until you put them on vacation while we're uncovering the single most important thing this decade O five 13 fades through the table standing between the two All right, this seems O five eight moves the right hand forcing O five 13 back on his seat I don't think you understand just how much I know I know you care about me and the project I'm simply the best man for the job How much that could help here how much I could help here I know things that others simply do not what I understand is that you don't realize your importance to many things People and your position and the need for you not to risk your life O five four turns towards O five one Can you do something about her ever since you allowed her to de-age herself with her magic she I've made myself younger not stupider Being annoyed at some of your ideas is just a logical byproduct of not being bound by some stupid old people rules Perhaps you could use that procedure sometime From the look of things at least it seems it could help It's starting to seem like the good old fountain just isn't cutting it for you anymore Put it to a vote or stop being annoying little antokinetic brat I'd hate to use mom's argument here, but I am older I know better I always have O five one sighs receding glasses onto his wrinkled nose Both of you stop this Neither of you behaving as your position demands you to nor how the relations between you demand I will not tolerate shouting in this hall. Is that understood? O five four nods O five eight simply looks to the floor Thank you Now let's hear arguments from both sides like civilized people. Shall we? All parties present in exchange looks except O five two simply shows it thumbs up icon on its monitor O five one then discusses but on O five it focuses on O five four and motions into proceed O five four clears his throat I believe my exploration of scp seven thousand in conversation With scp seven thousand dash k would not only yield extensive scientific results Would likely allow us a rare opportunity to hopefully Regulate the increasingly frequent year and I'm sorry scp one thousand appearances We're beyond lucky to have been given such a chance and nearly Random one at that To finally understand what we've been yearning to know about our world for so So long You can't just ask me to waste such a golden opportunity that chance has bestowed upon us O five four nods towards O five eight And while the dangers my colleague outlined should not be ignored We have more than enough magic and technology on our hands to protect me from Any harm that could befall me within the city? I'm sure she too understands why I want to go there somewhere Deeper than herself Why it's so important to our shared project But should such an incident occur regardless which again, I find more than doubtful due to the low the history department would be a More than a fitting candidate for my position O five one turns his head towards O five eight If you genuinely need to hear a speech from me to understand why putting him in danger is a terrible idea I don't think anything I would say would matter anyways O five one sighs misogyny is temple. He then looks around the room glancing at every council member present Ah, should I put it to a vote then? and log closing statement by a vote of six three four the ocean past But no the remainder of the council voted remotely Addendum seven thousand dash three o five four slash sb seven thousand dash came meeting Following approval of his requested expedition o five four proceeded to be fully and thematically Thaumetergically inoculated by site zero one personnel rendering him a perfect anti-magic sink for the duration of one week This effect paired with the lemurous protective rituals totems and other anti-cont onto kinetic Pieces applied to him render him practically invulnerable to any damage sb 7000 citizens and surroundings could inflict upon it However to further ensure his safety o five four was additionally equipped with one Occult talisman bound to site zero one breaking of which would immediately return to site zero one and should the need arise um for this Do you want to take over the king so I can like press my throat a little bit We're not really 40. Okay. It is. Yeah. Um, all right May 27th 1960 attending party o five four subject scp seven thousand Forward despite o five four's application ritual monitoring mirroring that of which was used to transfer mtf alpha one Upon emergence, he found himself directly within the inner sanctum The reason for this occurrence were at the time unclear and the suspicion spawned from the incident nearly Nearly result in o five four's immediate retrieval However, due to o five four's personal override permissions the mission eventually continued as initially intended beginning along As reality itself Stabilizes and the swirling ash falls to the ground o five four begins to cough violently Covering his eyes in reaction to a nearby blinding light moments later a large furred hand Pierces through the barrier of illumination extending towards the overseer a brief hesitation During which four appeared ready to activate the teleportation failsafe He accepted the gesture I have been waiting for you overseer Four stands up blinking twice He realizes he's located inside the center of a large hall The room is constructed solely from steel like metal and stone and vine like chandeliers flickering with green flames Hang up from the barely visible ceiling illuminating the room entirely He turns to his left making a taking in a large gate that seems to lead into the remainder of the palace The floor carpeted and royal crimson To his right the carpet terminates at base of a 10 meter tall throne Constructed from the melted together remnants of golden keys It's and the hall it is in entirely are empty behind the chair However, a giant glass pane divides the repetitive wall design seemingly to gaze out over the magma-filled lake O five four returns as gates as you said about the K who Standing in front of the throne extends his hands to the overseer the exchange of firm handshake Just four is fine enough STB 7000-k smiles releasing the grasp Then four it is truly a pleasure to be To able to welcome your kind once more to droof tool Especially someone like you O five four raises an eyebrow putting his hands behind his back he he walks uh He walks forward towards the window trying to see what is on the other side You know normally I wouldn't appreciate someone relocating the exit of my uh teleportation, but I think it's sad like this is enough for me to forgive you STB 7000-k chuckles politely joining four I thought you'd want to come directly to the palace rather than have to bother with the city's usual entry pathways Especially with how your alpha one was it? Mission turned out The two take a moment of silence not sharing a single word Almost two minutes. They simply look at what is presumed to be the magma lake in front of them My men said you wanted to see me 7000-k. Would that be correct? It's me 7000-k raises an eyebrow cracking a slight smile Is that what your people have called me? Similarly, simply mathias will do Um, I lost my place here. There we go. Oh, there we go. It moved. Here we go. O five four nods his head with visible appreciation for the gesture But yes, I have called you here for what I believe is the reason you will find most intriguing O five four crosses his arms Let me show you O five so STB 7000-k extends his left hand towards the glass and after a few graceful precise touches along the pain Takes a step back the entire wall proceeds to quickly destruct itself The glass seeming to fade away entirely as the bricks reposition themselves Into the formation of a balcony segment extending outside the confines of the room digon alley Once the reconstruction seems to complete STB 7000-k takes the first step towards while motioning for o five four to do the same He complies they merge into an open grotto extending in every direction until the end of the horizon severs vision Approximately two kilometers below the palace is a lake filled with the constant trip of magma from the ceiling so far up The clouds of smoke obfuscated entirely there are two protected from its heat by a transparent barrier surrounding the balcony on which they stand In the distance at the cavern the shores of the massive pool can be seen atop them a series of 300 meter humanoid medical Metal statues stand their arms extended towards the falling to the falling flows of magma which constructs That appear as visible visible similar to lanterns clasped in their hands all are unlit O five four inhales deeply only to swallow release When they slowly release their breath over the course of the following 10 seconds Hi He looks up and meets the artificial night sky Sparkling with starlight and planets and suns just the fingertips length away It engulfs the palace the place in a mirage of moving cosmos which hovers just 100 meters above ground level Enchanted o five four extends his hand forward and then but a moment One of the stars comes down towards his palm it bursts with light and comfortable warmth, but disappears just moments later Four simply stares at his hands How and more importantly Why what why do any of this? Sdb 7000-k comes forward and extends a hand too Similarly a starlight light falls down into his palm, but unlike o five four his doesn't burst Instead. He gently throws it back up where it shines even brighter than before I brought you down here because it would be Difficult for your kind I think to understand what I truly want to share with you without to any of you seeing this first I Know you have many questions. I will answer any of them more than gladly, but Many of them. I will simply have no answer for For most of them though They come back to that one word why scp 7000-k turns around looking towards at some point in the distance past the two rows of colossi Why go to the effort of building all this why not fight back for the right to live among humans I have heard those two questions alone a million times from the subs of every great man I have invited here over these endless millennia But I think you will be the first to understand So let me tell you a story scp 7000-k inhales Before your times we by which I mean my people Created an empire so large it spanned the entire globe We We did things much more peacefully than those that came before us We gave you walless homes so that you could live in the light as we did in the dark From organic skyscrapers tall enough to hear infinity To mines deep enough to make us feel our bounds We were everywhere old ways and forever in peace We created a society that could not only thrive We created a society that could thrive in tandem with you But In the millennia that would come Earth grew to be less than enough for us We uncovered the mysteries of all the myths and lessons that once shrouded the unknown And everything to comprehend we understood thoroughly So With all the knowledge we had We tried to expand upward to the myriad worlds above us Hoping to find a planet to host us Leaving us both free to live alone Free of the constant reminder of our shared brutal past But the queen uh Preferring to po i 001-c Queen mob an ancient and near infinitely powerful fey reality vendor monarch That ruled the earth as the queen of the fey empire approximately 300 000 years ago Who's death at the hands of scp 1000 and he mainly alike spawned the era of the children of the night But the queen She did not like that Once again a planet from above comes to touch scp 7000-k's arm Somewhere from beyond her grave. She cursed us She cast chains upon us heavy enough to bind our entire species to earth The children of the night. She mockingly called us Sentencing us to only forever wander said night Never to so much as touch the stars that shine so brightly. We couldn't help but feel compelled to explore them she He turns away for a moment and pauses looking at a few year in individuals in the distance She made us disgusting I'm sorry She made us disgusting But in time we found the cure A god that led our people Farmet that was his name He discovered a way to break the cure the curse A remedy that would once and for all free us from our past We so desperately tried to tear away from But the cost for him was too much A price too heavy to pay for salvation Even one we craved oh so dearly He never told anyone the price of liberation He feared the rest of us would find it at all we couldn't afford scp 7000-k closed his hands smashing the light But even then that was not enough for the queen She She convinced your people to aid her in overthrowing us Crowning you kings of the planet in less than a day The day of the flowers your people call it Everything seemed to bloom that night Even as you slaughtered us in our sleep and our blood flooded the grass the flowers just kept growing She left us with no choice We ran We ran and ran and ran until we were so deep within the depths of darkness That we were certain your fragile light loving people wouldn't catch us We could not save everyone Those we left behind remained above and lived among you still but we We could not We had to stand up for ourselves Boy, I just tried to scroll down to look for to see how much was left Oh boy. Yeah scp 7000. I don't see scp 7000-k smiles turning his sight towards the palace And since then we build We build all these years never stopping Until we formed a city proud enough to call home even here Millions of meters below the ground where we were safe Where nobody could reach us where we could thrive in peace once more but It was not enough It never was Blinded by Call it hubris if you want The king of the newly made droof tool once again looked toward the stars Not content with what his brother said about the price being too high He reached to him saying it was our time But Fomet simply said he was a fool if he truly thought that And for breaking Fomet's trust he had never seen him since A man he'd known as nothing less than a god left for a journey Where he hoped to find peace and wisdom he could share with who he thought were people that didn't yet understand What he truly could see in his enlightenment Even after all those years of guiding them scp 7000-k sighs then points and nods to the lanterns held by the giants So we did what we always have We worked We worked and worked Relentless to get our light in the darkness back relentless to to make ourselves not rancid anymore We created a plan The sundown ritual we called it A ritual that would guide our beloved foe met back home with a lantern so bright it could be seen in all realities No matter where he was stranded It wouldn't be easy Hell it would be nearly impossible But we had to try For us and for you So that we could once more believe in a future as bright as the stars we so desperately love It was the price we were willing to pay Interest A price we simply had to pay So we have worked without pause ever since All in an effort to fulfill an impossible promise of a beautiful future scp 7000-k looks at the floor and doesn't speak another word 054 doesn't respond for nearly three minutes the two instead simply standing in silence looking at the lake Eventually 054 turns towards scp 7000-k with a moved expression on his face 054 asking the same question that's in my brain. Why are you telling me this? Because you are one of the solemn few who truly understand loving the past More than wanting to celebrate the present And because ultimately we are almost done And I would not want to live through such a monumental moment alone Looks towards the distance Because to find a cure for our curse Our repulsiveness alone To make us good again without anyone else by me I couldn't bear that I'm not sure I understand What about your people aren't they enough? It is not the same for We both know this They they work and they appreciate that I give their lives purpose But they do not really get it They're not fully people they in some odd sense They are just work They aren't like me Like you They are content with the course put upon them and in this simplicity They are repulsive repulsive in how they live without dreams And I need to fix them No matter the price it takes No matter how high it ends up as For them I can do it But they don't get it Nobody does Nobody ever has Except you A man that similarly to me Sees what came before us is more important than what surrounds us now and And what about the others? I mean Those of your kind that live above ground surely they'd understand at least a little SCP-7000-K smiles sadly They would not I'm afraid They don't even know their past so how could they make it their life's purpose? They're even more rancid They need to be fixed even more Besides we barely allowed non-fomissians inside of the city He would not want someone that cannot believe in what he stood up for to work for him Especially someone as violent as them short pause How do you Know all that and I I do mean all of that Because I was there to see it Because I was that foolish foolish king But why me after all me and my colleagues have done after After the goddamn factory I didn't stop so Why me? Because I do not believe any price is too great for wisdom And you yourself have paid quite the hefty debt for your perspective Would you not agree? 054 doesn't respond Instead, he looks at the border between the palace and the rings there. You can see multiple scp 7000 citizens Attempt to breach the border only to be actively stopped by guards. He blinks and turns back to miss is Will you help me? There's surely so much more you want to ask me. I can see that in your eyes I can and will provide any and all answers if you but simply listen to an old man As the fires finally burn and foment comes home That's all I ask Company during what would most likely be my final day I need someone to help me bear the burden of the price I need to pay SCP 7000-k extends his hand 054 swallows I Yes, yes, I will Just Show me what I can do to help and I'll try my best to assist you 4 accepts the gesture But before their hands touch his small finger extends He inhales looks SCP 7000-k directly in his eyes and moves his wrist in a circular manner while whispering in an audible phrase As red lightning sparks around himself Effectively rendering rending his agreement a death oath What no A thaumaturgic ritual binding a person or persons to respect the previously given oath with the punishment for intentionally breaking it being immediate death SCP 7000-k sees this nods and puts his arm around 054's shoulder Then come with me my friend There's still much work to be done and log by you didn't uh You know the king didn't ask him to do the death though. He just decided to do that That's nice of him I get the inclination He believed that when he went back his people would have told him that now you your your agreement means nothing Let's have a vote on it. So he's like, I'm just it's insurance. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, it's cool closing statement, although 054's conversation with Matthias Uh continued for more than five hours following the end of this transcript 054 did not record it Instead personally turning off his camera I wonder what the symbolism of the log Changing to Matthias only on the last line and in this last little closing statement is uh, it's got something to do with the Like the identifiers and fey or something. I don't know That's probably just stylistic. Yeah No, I'm saying it's a it's a trust thing or stylistic choice and they indicate that they're on personal terms now. I don't know Do you want to tag to sim to continue the document mainline? Yeah, yeah Yeah, the the cult like the black the high contrast between the Quote blocks and the text in the quote blocks really bothers my eyes and I don't like I read out my phone I think I had a readability version. It was a little bit easier Yeah, go ahead. So all right Following approximately 36 hours of unrecorded activity 05-4 returned to site 01 via the usage of his teleportation totem After overwatch command personnel confirmed that he was indeed the real overseer He was allowed entry into the rest of the site where he reported What he had done during those hours the actions He described primarily consisted of standard scp 7000-k interviews and scp 7000 exploration Shortly after 05-4 proceeded to pitch to the present 05 council members several plans He had made alongside scp 7000-k during his time with then drew tool They consisted of among others the establishment of foundation of a foundation embassy within scp 7000 The signing of the shepherd agreements between the 05 council and scp 7000-k Which would regulate the containment of scp 1000 instances outside of scp 7000 and the foundation's terms of engagement With scp 7000 itself alongside its population The creation of an scp 7000 research team consisting of 05-4 and his most trusted personnel That would be allowed to freely wander the city and study its teaching. I'm sorry its technology citizens in building And the establishment of free information and material exchange between foundation personnel and scp 7000 citizens to an extent limited by the 05 council Which would allow the former to gain a better understanding of reality and the latter to more quickly finish the preparations for the sundown ritual As all of these proposals have been considered to be operations technically under the previous approval of 05-4 and 05-8's research Within scp 7000 the rest of the 05 council tentatively agreed upon the above plans over the next couple of months They would become integrated into the foundation procedure regarding drew tool Addendum 7000-4 Further scp 7000 research below attached are a few select entries made by 05-4 in his personal journal During his research on scp 7000 alongside his team acquired through the use of recording of a recording device alongside 05-8's supervision date 0206 1960 05-4 Today was the first day. I felt alive since I was born I don't often like to use dramatic language at least in documentation But it's hard to talk about drove tool and everything surrounding it without wreaking excitement Walking amongst these Ageless halls feels more like a dream come true. No more than that It feels like the fulfillment of everything I've ever dreamt of From scrolls as ancient as time itself To people almost living beyond time to answers Answers to secrets. I I thought I'd never hear It's also unreal Like some pure dream-like ecstasy And I never want to wake up The best thing however is that she agrees with me For once I'm happy She sees my decision as a positive for her We're currently working together to decipher everything 05-8 knots 05-4 Yesterday I spent my days working on things I couldn't care about any less filing papers and sending out orders I knew didn't matter Today I live once more freed from the shackles of bureaucracy and oversight Tomorrow I will answer every lingering question. I've had in my mind Since I was a young scholar and all of this all of these incredible unbelievable nearly incomprehensible opportunities Given to me by pure chance I do not know if there's any god up there, but I suppose I should be thankful to them just in case I've yet to explore more nuanced call it parts of scp 7000 as eight and I do not want to indulge in specific research Without my trusted men who are yet to arrive, but but now as little As simply taking steps within the city is more than enough for my hungry mind And from the brief talks I could get Mateus to have with me I've gleaned more answers than I've Ever been given from reading books older than most civilizations A hundred years of reading trumped by fleeting conversation I cannot put into words how excited satisfied No intrigued I am 05-8 rolls her eyes theatrically And I suppose neither can I Tomorrow our work truly begins And I I don't think it would be fair to keep it waiting date 14 oh, I got to scroll down 14 06 1960 05-4 I Feel so small down here wish she could see it I don't It might sound silly for a man like me to say this but and it does Out of all the ever present reminders of the universe's indifference towards us for this to be what finally breaks me Probably sounds like a joke But I couldn't be more serious and to an extent slightly terrified of the true might the key holds within its walls When we first arrived here I didn't I didn't feel that though It was only when my men and I started to map out the palaces at the inner sanctum two days ago that it truly hit this uh Never-ending weight and realization of the age of everything from Drove tall to the stars its citizens envy. So just Just pause on you when you want to try to comprehend it I can see it in my men too Well, I also see them Like me they don't want it to stop Palace it's It's beautiful It's magic everywhere and always interweave with Techniques, I thought were lost time Lost to the day of the flowers We've begun to reverse engineer them, but this incredible mixture of technology and bio mancy is truly so alien in some ways, but Then in others so familiar The solutions to problems we thought to be impassable were so beautiful in the natural simplicity They're continued unfailing operations so precise trustworthy at its every turn And so far We could only understand two recovered pieces, but there's still so much we just do not know Even with as little as these we were capable of automating and enhancing processors we Previously couldn't even hope to reliably utilize But there's so much more that we can do And there is more importantly so much more we will do date 2606 1960 The stars down here It's hard to talk about them without my hands trembling You'd think for such a common phenomena For something I saw every night as I went to sleep for That to make me shiver would be stupid, but I simply cannot explain it at sensation Not without showing what the sky looks like here to even Call it a sky as a disservice even it's a meticulously crafted piece of Excuse me It's a meticulously crafted piece of artwork Hung above the ground for everyone to see and remind themselves Why they work each and every day to get even a step closer to them And even to someone as culturally distinct from the people of 7 000 as I am I can guarantee you it does its job well However The cosmos here isn't just a display of power magic and coals. It's a it's a chronicle From what I was able to gather from the people of druvetal And my own observations stars do not depict the current night sky Whether they're an image Still of an age long gone But they were made to mirror the stars as remembered by those who ran during the day of the flowers From their memories of the night before I've yet to send photos and observations Of them to pandora metis over at astrophysics or to anyone else in the department for that matter But I am more than certain they will find them as fascinating and Hopefully useful as I have And with each day the stars seem to grow closer All while the people of 7 000 approached the final day of their preparations for the ritual We are less than a month away now metis says And practically everyone is doing anything they can to help We are within an arms reach of a revolution that could change the world forever Hopefully for the better Jesus how far does this go? date So it's also collapsible the end Oh for god sakes 13 07 1960 I was finally able to talk to him today after more than a month of preparations and trying to maneuver between royal duties I was at least at last capable of getting a whole day to ourselves just Metis and I and it was everything and more that I could have asked for But 24 hours I bothered him with questions troubling me since 1870 And I got so So many answers I was reckless with some of them but curious with even more And that curiosity has was as satisfied as it could possibly be He gave me every solution he was aware of Some of course he didn't have an answer yet to the ritual and foment not yet arriving but Every question I asked that he could answer he answered tenfold That he did all right But for a select few of my braver inquiries he And strange replies for example And to really show what I mean I wanted to know what his people meant when they greeted us with their chats Reminding us of the massacre we allowed to happen to the fey To that he simply stated it's a cruel. It's a cruel world out there friend I grieve the loss of old brethren and the sad truth is the few enemies of ours The fewer enemies out there the better and mabs children. I cannot expect them to be anything but that I simply wanted to congratulate you on so easily getting rid of a parasite. I thought to be immovable It's not good that's for sure, but the death house still is active. So I doubt it's much to worry about Oh five four nons But the majority of our time went much more smoothly than that We discussed so much from their long or gone empire to the day of the flowers Even to their involvement with human history I cannot wait To see the look on judith's face when she realizes I was right about the fact that the meccanites Couldn't have built the first war colossus on their own Guess she was right about the day of magic though It's not only eye opening. It wasn't a sense soul opening too Can I can I talk to you for a second off recording? I know you're very passionate about this, but you know how worried I've been for you ever since Further data restricted to o5 level personnel per o5 council identity protection protocol Let me just take a sip of some water real quick. I picked a bad voice to be doing this much reading It's a little it's a little rough a little bit rough. I'm usually pretty good with this kind of stuff, but it's a lot Date 2807 1960 o5 a four still in his chair clearing his throat this time He is visibly alone o5 8 isn't present beside him I nearly died today, but I don't regret it It was terrifying Definitely and perhaps also stupid, but I would not say my near demise experience was a waste of my time quite the opposite even But I think some context is necessary. So first things first Had to scroll a little bit there after thoroughly investigating the four utmost rings of druvetal Today was the day we me and my men Would finally venture into the fifth and after that After all proper preparing was complete Including the equipping of what fails safes and research apparatuses. Can you guys hear that in the background? There's people having a conversation in the next room. I don't know how quiet it is I don't hear them Okay, good Uh, then I was just more disruptive asking about it than it actually was and after that whole after all proper Preparing was complete including the equipping of what fails safes and research apparatus. We had Was what we did for better or worse We found our way into the most industrial Factory filled area I have ever seen and for the next few hours we split up and explored where we could As for myself, I took responsibility to thoroughly probe an industrial building up close Having found a place. I'd like to enter I went through it as always I'm sorry. I went through it as always massive doors and simply observed what transpired inside And some deep part of me was simply struck and shocked by just how much of these people cared for what they do Even when uncomfortable or tired They do not so much as complain They continue on there seemingly in this toil Reading to sacrifice blood sweat and tears for their sacred goal I have nothing but the utmost respect for that. So Intrigued to learn more I went for a bit further and Well, I got a bit too close As I approached one of the workers the floor simply Disappeared beneath my feet I plunged Right into a pit of magma the men used for their work Even from my even from within my protective bubble I could feel the heat as it choked the orb tighter and tighter eventually starting to suffocate me Thankfully the air enacted quickly pulling me out with a few rituals of their own In reality, I was out in mere seconds, but the threat was real and terrifying Beyond the fear though there was Excitement in some sense Finally free of the bounds of that sterile palace and matthew's guards Metheus I had stepped into the real world Truth be told it almost feels as if he's trying to separate himself from his people, but well I'll be back tomorrow inside the factory to see more of what is pure efficiency But this time I can guarantee myself not to be such a fool again Prior to the Prior to the above incident being recorded the o5 council tolerated albeit tentatively the doings of o5 4 and o5 8 within SCP 7000 despite their frequent danger and lack of professionalism This incident prompted o5 8 to declare a security intervention necessary To achieve such she called a non-emergency o5 meeting the same evening as the transcripts upload the site o1 database Ordering o5 4's immediate attendance attached below is the summit's transcript date 2807 1960 parties present o5 1 o5 2 o5 4 o5 7 o5 8 and o5 13 forward similarly to the previous summit only a small portion of the council was capable of partaking in this gathering due to their continued required attendance Outside of overwatch command due to vital business begin log Um, let's see bill. It appears to be gone. So we're gonna have to split this between the two of us um He was I'll do one two I'll do one two and four before we'll just split it right down the middle I'll do one two and four you do seven eight and 13 good good Begin log o5 4 teleports outside the summit hall taking his hand out of his pocket He massages his eyes and coughs once immediately starting to walk for Sorry Immediately starting to walk towards the room's doors after a few moments He enters and the gate closes shut behind him The location buzzes for two seconds before separating itself from baseline reality The rest of the attending council members are sitting in their respective chairs all looking at o5 4 with visible disapproval and disappointment The least satisfied of these faces is o5 8 who has her hands folded and her chin propped up against them Scanning 4 with near anger. He ignores her correcting the stack of documents and journals He is carrying in his hands and takes a seat He crosses his arms Oh, I can take over with someone if you want. I'm sorry. I had to go to make it a optomist appointment and I Came back and you guys are still reading. Wow. You want to take one at the very least Uh, yeah, I think one and seven. Yeah, I'll do two and catch up to this part Right. Yeah. Yeah, right Okay, you take one off of me and take one off sherm and that'll work out perfectly You take one and seven. I've got two and four Sherm will have eight and 13 if that's all right. I think I'm at the right addendum. Is it um four? Oh, um Hold on That's a really have like a label label. Um day july 28 1960 party present 28 there you go. There's only four instances of 28 there you go july 28 28 present And oh five council. There we go. Found it. Okay, cool. Yep You said oh five one and which one seven is seven one and seven. Oh, yeah, I'll do that again. Great All right Oh five four. Wait where you did this tonight now. Yeah, you are literally on your first line Oh, what's this uh, what is this all about? Oh five eight furrows her brow Let me tell you what this is about Eight stands the rest of the council does not protest. I was scrolling down a little bit. Yeah. I'm sorry You nearly died out there for that's what this is about you What do you think we what do you think we called you here for? Four sighs and bites his lips He settles the documents he previously acquired before himself in motions for eight to settle down with his hands Look, I there's no look this time for you're being put down. I I mean we we cannot lose you Oh five four blinks twice You are being officially removed from the seven thousand project Your team will carry on normally under my supervision But you will not be allowed back into drift tool until you can prove yourself capable of not getting yourself killed I and the project cannot afford such a loss Oh five dash four scoffs that is absurd for the only thing that is observed here is you nearly dying in a factory Here have you for at least one fucking second considered how beyond lucky you were to survive dumb luck dumb luck Oh five dash eight sits down again with a heavy thumb Don't be so reckless again ever Just please listen to Oh five dash eight looks at four again with what could be mistaken for murderous intent in her eye I am not going to repeat myself Just Just please comply or I will take over the project forever You are not allowed to die period simple as that Oh five four hits the table with this fist and stands abruptly Just listen to me for once Please Forgive my behavior, but I would like to be listened to as well Last time I checked we all have equal voices here on the council Oh five dash eight angrily looks at oh five dash one He stares at her with a blank expression motions for the both of the arguing overseers to sit I'll allow it Let's hear what he has to say He deserves that much Eight angrily gays does not budge but rather seems laced with worry. She complies regardless Nervously tapping a table for inhales Thank you one Look, I won't try to defend my reckless behaviors detailed in the log As I'm sure you're all aware of it was irresponsible and plainly stupid for someone of my station But removing me from the seven thousand project. Do you have any idea what a monumental waste of potential that would be? Oh five eight raises her eyebrows mocking me. Oh five four ignores it We're nearing the end of my work my team eight and I have been Relentlessly studying everything we could gather from inside the city and in just two days We will finally be done in almost exactly 48 hours. The sundown ritual will be finished And when that happens, we will finally be able to solve the puzzle. We've been piecing together for the last few months Just think think About what we could do with a complete and absolute history of our relations with the year and in the fey There is logically no better weapon against the queen and Pardon me, perhaps my ignorant intrusion But I've been really going to ignore the fact that you've been aiding the anomaly and the creation of a ritual that would most likely summon an equally powerful god in the process Oh five dash four inhales But foment is no god. I've documented such heavily in the reports. I've sent you all but it looks like you'll forgotten to check your mail It's no threat. He never was The present council members exchange looks amongst themselves confused eventually they each pull out their table and start searching for the information Sorry, oh five dash four small size Here I've just sent it again This time read it The entirety of the council takes a few minutes to familiarize themselves with the text And analyze scrolling through the messages on their device. They all stop reading after a while Genuine surprise on the faces of some Right, but this ultimately doesn't change much You're still actively exposing yourself to a truly unknowable force that could if it so chose to Level the entirety of earth with the ritual it has brewing down there The fact that it hasn't done so already doesn't mean they can't do it to you. We both know it. Hell look I even How How could you say that this doesn't change and it changes everything Oh five dash four turns to the rest of the council Why can't you see this? Where's your passion? Where's it gone? Have we hidden it entirely behind our paranoia? Uh foolish worries Where are the people who sat down with me in 1870 seething with Incredible excitement in anticipation to understand this magical world. We live in Where is the fire in your eyes? Fort throws his hands in the air Have you really become so Stuck in your bureaucracy So stuck in some fetish of power that you forgot why we formed this group at all This This might finally allow us to defeat the queen below this fucking meeting room If you all have a problem with an old man trying to piece together a mystery that we all promise to solve together That I simply pause for one moment Uh since you're at the end of this line, there's a sidebar that this is the email that everybody just read Uh, I'll just run through this real quick The sundown ritual and its association with the real foment Uh by far the strangest belief shared, uh, oh this is you again, but I'm still going to read it and give your voice a chance to rest By far the strangest belief shared by the people of scp 7000 including matthias himself is that this foment is a god Perhaps is due to the near quarter of a million years that have passed since the dreaded day of the flowers Or maybe perhaps due to some magic machinations foment himself cast upon his people But the belief is well simply wrong There is just too much proof as to the contrary from ancient tablets recovered above the ruins below the inner sanctum to simply piecing together stories told of him I'm honestly baffled at how nobody in over 200 000 years has never pieced together before us Perhaps there's some of eon it situation where the truth got bent through time to reflect some propaganda or artificial faith Some semi-ohazard who who knows what else but there is one thing i'm certain of The sundown ritual poses no threat I've studied the ruins that can pose it extensively and from what i could gather It is simply designed to shine a light so bright from the gigantic lanterns that it's light will pierce the natural barriers of our reality Bursting into the myriad of worlds outside it And it's designed to only catch foam its eye So the chance of any other beings such as mad becoming aware of the beacon is a non concern I have place played with the idea of sharing this truth with the people of scp 7000 extensively, but i just I simply do not have the heart to tell them this I think it would be the best if they realized it themselves for both themselves and us Exit from the god of night by 05 to 4 released by internal foundation publishing And then 057 growled Are you done too me to keep pick up the Oh, I simmed you want me to pick up 05 4 from here as well Well, I think sim pieced out for a minute, so i'll keep on autopilot for that No, i'm here. I was looking at the chat. I just think whenever i'm paged out. It doesn't unmute. I apologize Uh 054 looks at her confused i'm uh, i'm sorry I didn't come here to be insulted not by you not by the witch you try so desperately to call sister Not to go five 054 and 058 look at seven in shock 057 gives eight a pitiful look Do you really think you can be the centerpiece of a spy net without spying on your own colleagues, please And come the hell on it's practically obvious from in the way you two talk 058 doesn't respond But uh, yeah Do you have anything of actual substance to say rather than trying to see who's dick is bigger in a situation like this? You know where to find me I'll be i'll be afraid i'll be dealing with dcl fine being an actually fucking insane bitches A little more important than whatever theater show you're putting on here 057 stands up from her seat heading for the exit She waves her hand with a fake smile only for the expression to shift into a grimace And she looks away from the remaining attendees She exits the room Silence fills the room as nobody speaks a word eventually 05-4 stands up I'm going to If you want to prove me wrong about what I said earlier and witness what will most likely be the single Most spectacular magical ritual to ever occur You'll know where to find me. He turns to 05-8 and you I hope you will see one day how much you break her heart Every day because she taught us to live a life of wonder Not one where we're so afraid. We won't even take risks 05-4 rapidly exits the room As 05-4 rapidly exits the room the meeting concludes and log closing statement Following the conclusion in the above summit 05-4 is once again resumed his operations within scp 7000. They didn't even have a vote That's not fair similarly 05-8 entered foundation controlled parts of the city without notifying the former this time However, no party previously involved in four's attempted reprimand protested in any capacity If you do want to take over i'm actually probably gonna have to leave here soon. So All right, I'll scroll on addendum 7000-5 final sundown ritual preparations July 28th 1960 parties present 05-4 Forward approximately two hours following the summit described in addendum 7000-5 The following recording was sent to all 05 council and mobile task force alpha one members from the account of 05-4 mapped with level zero priority The highest possible priority within the skip net database prior to level zero bypass projects bypass even global foundation directives and importance typically reserved for use in solely in clearance for level or above personnel Despite being registered as sent within the database. However, it was only properly received by the intended recipients following the events of addendum 7000-6 transpiring the exact reasons for this occurrence remain unknown We have some recorded camera footage and we begin log As the feed connects it reveals a gigantic underground valley extending in every direction Throughout its middle a river of magma slowly flows terminating at the end of the horizon Despite its location the entire area is brightly lit both by the aforementioned flowing magma and the artificial Thaumaturgic lights above although the latter are mostly shrouded by the ever-present smoke and dust In the far distance parts of the industrial buildings can be seen with the rest of the structures hidden behind mountains of black stone And the aforementioned smog despite this a few scp 7000 workers are present 05-4 waves to them and they return the gesture from the context of the surroundings It can be deduced the recording depicts one of the scp 7000s lower rings The camera slowly moves away as 05-4's tired sigh can be heard His walk continues for a few more minutes before he settles near a large opening Almost entirely devoid of any of the previously described buildings He looks over the horizon and pulls out one of his journals alongside a pen He sighs again and starts to draw or note something down Although the exact details are imperceivable due to the paper's location relative to the camera From what can be seen it can be reasonably assumed that 05-4 is illustrating the landscape and marking notes This continues for a moment I can not take over I saw 05-4 I can do a 05-4 for a little bit longer I just am a little bit worried that there's going to be a loud noise while I'm in the middle of reading a long thing So that's fair Oh, truth tall if only the others could see your beauty the way I do If only she could just 05-4 shots the book and slowly sits on the ground. He crosses his arms massages his temple And slowly inhales and exhales But perhaps Perhaps after today He looks to the horizon admiring the view as the sound of clinging metal Clanging metal and glowing magic is heard in the distance Eventually four stands and starts to walk again heading towards a large tunnel situated inside one of the mountains before him Where it leads is not yet confirmed but judging from its height golden decorations and illustrations which depict plalices Stars crowns and keys it can be theorized it connects to the inner sanctum As 05-4 continues step after step his sight turns toward the pavement below Crafter from black cobblestone and bricks It is the only even surface along the rough patches of stone making up the hills it cuts through Within its structures a series of barely visible interconnected Thalmaturgic rich circles are woven throughout covering the entire sidewalk Everywhere the overseer looks one symbol is seen forming one gigantic circle over the entirety of the ring Which later connects to the remaining sites throughout the rest of scp 7000 creating a single monumental ritual site over the city's entire space However, the pieces he currently observes are not so large They are ideally symmetrical and mostly consists of identical round symbols with the diameter of approximately 75 centimeters a digital recreation of the room noticed by 05-4 However one pattern that takes up a significant portion of the pathway catches 05-4's attention He skews his head and squints his eyes He focuses solely on it for a few moments and in doing so accidentally trips over some irregularity in the path falling onto his rear He tries to prop himself up with his hand, but as the unknown symbols start to rapidly glow up Forming a chain reaction that circles him. He gasps He turns to his back realizing one of his pockets is similarly glowing He empties it now holding the site 0-1 teleportation totem in his hand as he does so the circle below his arm Starts to glow much more aggressively and his arm begins to turn gray He screams and stands up violently albeit with visible difficulty Four looks at his arm terrified and sees that it has withered significantly Upon breaking contact the energy within the circles below spreads out into very dim light until it vanishes altogether Around him various workers start to approach him worry in their eyes. He motions them to stay back 05-4 looks around himself frantically trying to see how many more of these circles surround him They were revealed to stretch almost everywhere woven into almost every dormant Incentation of the thumbmetetric structure scp 7000 holds within itself His breathing starts to get irregular as he picks up the teleportation item and smashes it Despite his intended function nothing happens Four's eyes widen even more as his heart beats surpasses standard rates He swallows hard looks at the remains of the totem for a second and turns toward the urine individuals around him They exchange a few inaudible words and seconds later 05-4 starts a run towards the inner sanctum tunnel tapping something on his foundation phone The remaining scp 1000 instances look frantically at each other and rapidly depart Fuck The tapping gets more aggressive apparently due to no response and four sighs angrily increasing his pace His vision is now entirely focused on the destination in front of him His expression turns from fear to into pure determination and anger As he crosses the anti-thumbmetetric border that separates the inner sanctum from other rings He gets his feed gets forcefully disconnected And log closing statements he addendum 7006 for further information Time for addendum 7006 05-4 scp 7000-k intervention On july 28th 1960 05-4 and scp 7000-k were present Forward due to the extreme amount of thumbmetetric backlash coming from the activation of the sundown ritual corrupting the below video feed Whether the events it depicts are fully true currently remains unknown for the research is ongoing Begin log As 05-4 enters the inner sanctum. He taps his personal camera a few times rebooting it once more He is now located in front of scp 7000-k's palace, which is noticeably glowing All thumbmetetric symbols covering its walls and paths leading to it are are now brightly lit And from atop its highest spire a vague beacon of white illumination extends into the sky above Terminating near the ceiling which it appears to be slowly excavating as if to make its way above ground Around it a myriad of scp 1000 instances can be seen actively trying to breach the border between the inner sanctum and the lower rings Although the walls and guards serve to impede some most of them succeed pouring into the palace when foreign notices He grunts and further quickens his pace He enters the building and continues his run until he makes his way into corridors crowded by protesters Which he pushes through until reaching the throne room depicted in addendum 7000-3 With exhaustion clear as he pants He makes his way up the stairs and past the throne standing before the wall directly behind it 05-4 despite seeming quite frantic carefully replicates the order in which matthias Touched the bricks successfully reopening the balcony's exit entrance still recovering his breath four steps forward embracing the blinding light Of the outside world Once he is able to properly see again. He notices matthias Standing towards the edge of the balcony the yearin looks into the horizon towards the myriad of statues decorating the banks of the lake Their lights are starting to dimly glow pulsating with a similar tone as the beacon erupting from the palace As force footsteps sound out against the balcony floor the king takes notice of him smiling widely as he extends his arms Four my friend i'm so glad to see you you've arrived just in time four You You liar Four points at matthias and approaches him angrily You lied to me you After everything i've done for you You matthias's expression it shifts from happiness to a grimace within a split second He puts his hands behind his back and turns away shifting his gaze towards the magma lake show I assume you know Oh for oh five four's gate widens he extends his great arm forward shoving it toward matthias who ignores the gesture Eventually four stops halfway through his march simply looking at the yearin's back I do Why just Why As a single small pebble falls above oh five four's head his protective bubble activates Eliminating the rock before it can hit the overseer Matthias notices it and sighs taking a step forward He touches the ground below him and mutters something to himself before standing up once more Why do you think? The king turns back towards four and wonks toward him before stopping two meters before the overseer Why do you think i'm doing what i'm doing you hypocrite? Of out of all the people in the world. Have you not considered how ironic it is that you are asking mat's question He tries to reach for four But his movement once again touches the ground as the historian raises an eyebrow matthias clears his throat I am doing what needs to be done to be remembered as someone more than Then the brother of a man that did nothing Matthias practically runs to the other side of the balcony much to oh five four's confusion Foment was no more than a coward a figure who wanted all the praise for none of the work He could never put any actual effort into anything. He did unable to sacrifice anything But his time for the position the people put him in He stagnated in his wisdom Thinking putting someone in the check was the same as the checkmate He could not force himself to make the right decision Deciding that the sacrifice of a few human magic cunts was the price not worth paying to undo the stagnation of our kind When he knew they would overthrow us eventually anyways but me taps the parapets barrier five times I am everything but a coward He would have forgiven you let you choose to bring us back in But me I don't ask I take what rightfully belongs to my people No matter the cost And that justifies turning yourself into a harbinger of genocide you'll kill literal millions of humans you You treat them like batteries like they're not even people Like they aren't of my own kind just because the magic within them can fuel your ritual You're a lunatic if you really believe murdering all human mages is worth breaking your damn curse Then perhaps I am one But that still makes me more worthy of my position position than foment or you The king coughs the rice into his open palm and pats himself on the head If four wasn't blinded by anger he would raise an eyebrow What even gives you the right to judge me? Do you know what it feels like? How it feels to have history forget how you save literal billions Because your brother was some sort of idiot thinker Do you realize what it feels like when your unfathomable achievements are entirely forgotten because some stupid flip of a coin decided You would be raised under the same roof as an idiot who would become a foolish Ironic messiah despite doing nothing to even match your accomplishments Do you He closes his eyes and walks to the other side of the gallery there. He spits on the ground and inhales hard So I have decided If history will not be kind to me neither will I beat a history I simply do what must be done to truly care for my people I am willing and ready to pay the necessary price to free them from their curse To free them as they truly deserve Are you You were wrong about your people dying in the dark You wouldn't do so if it meant others may yet live in the light You yourself will die in the light so that we can live in the dark O5-4 backs off shaking his head. He points at the red circle around Matthias's right hand signifying the death oath But you You swore you Matthias shakes his arm breaking apart the rooms Did you really think your parlor tricks would work against a magical force of nature like myself? You're psychopathic What why even tell this to me? Do you need someone to To throw your unhinged Ambitionet before you turn and smile to those people down there and tell them you did a good thing SCP 7000-k simply smirks Ah the name changes back now No I just needed to get your attention away from my hands for a second He extends his hand upward and red lightning starts to crackle along his fingers The regular points he previously walked towards explode with magical energy that surges towards his palm Extending into a translucent bubble that surrounds their entire figure It eventually forms into an opaque cocoon around scp 7000-k that immediately starts to crack from the impact of the lightning O5-4 looks at it terrified and attempts to run away As the overseer tries once more to activate the balcony's entrance a blast of energy sends him flying into the air Causing his back to crack against the bricks of the balcony Sorry, this is definitely the song gateway to hell On the spotify playlist is a better suspend song Uh cracks his back against the bricks of the balcony He doesn't retain any physical damage due to his protective bubble But his site once more turns to the transformation site which is now crackling at an exponentially increasing rate He blinks once and the cocoon suddenly bursts with a blinding red light that fades moments later When four can see again scp 7000-k is gone Instead replaced by a 50 meter tall figure that looks identical to him The giant smiles cackling loudly and draws forward his sword O5-4 tries to return away, but it is far too late scp 7000-k swings his weapon down now crackling with pure magic energy upon the overseer He ducks and closes his eyes readying for the impact Seconds pass and four realizes he is still alive Opening his eyes again as he frantically scans the surroundings His protective bubble is surrounded by huge plumes of dust and smoke The likes of which cloud the air as loud cracks of stone meeting flesh can be heard elsewhere These sounds are accompanied by feminine grunts alongside the screams of the now gigantic scp 7000-k O5-4 stands as the terribly loud sound of the tower being demolished fills his ears He coughs the dust impacting his breathing as he tries to clear his vision As four finally emerges from the immense cloud of dust and smoke stepping towards the edge of the balcony Another shout can be heard this time signifying scp 7000-k's anger The colossal figure enters his field of vision suddenly his waist clutch by a 100 meter tall stone statue As it continues to bash k's head with a large glowing lantern Identified to be one of the figures that previously decorated the banks of the lake The entity furiously picks scp 7000-k up as dash k bites at his hand Destroying only some of the stone as the taller statue shouts in frustration in a feminine tone Despite scp 7000-k's efforts the statue manages to throw the year in king against the beacon tower With a resounding crash that shakes the entire structure Amidst the ruins of the palace scp 7000 citizens start to pour from the collapsing structure In an attempt to attack the king who deflects their assault with ease The colossus turns directly toward o5-4 while panting I could really use a hand here you ass Oh, that is o5-8. I was right ha ha The statue's face opens up revealing a levitating o5-8 within its hollow insides Her eyes are burning with a bright purple light that fills the entirety of the head And from her appendages violet rope-like structures formed from her reality bending powers connect her body to the arms and legs of the Colossus the protesting year and start to cheer she looks at for nodding him to come closer He simply blinks unable to move Uh, you're hopeless o5-8 closes her eyes and focuses deeply causing o5-4 to levitate towards her He eventually joins the overseer within the head which she seals it once more Reiting readying her battle stance in the distance scp 7000-k starts to move again opening his eyes He is furious and starts to move his hands in a fluent matter Clearly trying to weave some sort of spell as reality crackles and bends around him eight notices and smiles widely Now let's give that motherfucker hell Where's the power ranger theme song at? Before scp 7000-k can completely weave his spell o5-8 punches his jaw uppercut Sending him flying into the air rather than crashing back down though The king instead manages to form a pane of ice-like material between his legs Which flows down toward his adversary creating a frozen bridge Eight attempts to crush it with her left hand while attempting to maneuver into a proper striking position with her right hand As she attempts to strike him however He draws a sword that destroys the hand turning the air around it into steam Eight shouts turning suddenly and strikes the now laughing matias in the back of the head Who stumbles and tries to lash out with his blade as he falls The sword splitting in half upon making contact with the head of the construct Both the broken blade and the gigantic scp 7000-k crashed at the ground forming a crater below them But ow How did you know His sister does not respond instead rushing towards scp 7000-k before leaping aiming her elbow towards his face As she attempts to accelerate her fall via the use of her onto kinesis Meanwhile, matias attempts to position its legs to impede its this strike His feet starting to pulse green The only one manages to make contact as the onslaught of scp 1000 individuals forces the other to fall Nonetheless as the giant statue makes contact with scp 7000-k's foot He kicks forcing the giant back into the ceiling where he begins to free fall as matias jumps in an effort to meet her halfway He punches his fist and aims for her face while eight's remaining arm attempts to repel the strike Though it only impartially peds it and the The strike still sending her flying back towards the ceiling once more As she does though She grabs the king's own wrist and pulls him into her forcing both to crash into the rock above Both party sustaining damage as they enter a free fall towards the palace's beacon spire Caption recorded scp 7000 protective runes as seen during their chain mass activation within the upper parts of the Inter sanctum during the destruction of the palace Before eight's body crashes into the spire. She looks at four and taps her head with her free left arm I was in the area And it's hard not to know what your brother is up to when you're at telepath I still care about you dipshit in case you haven't noticed yet The rest of o5 is no fight of the situation We just hold off for a few moments more alpha one and before o5 4 can express anger the impact does not come Instead the two can feel their bodies levitate upwards carried by the white beacon Both matias and o5 8 grunt in pain as the beacon begins to suck the magic from their bodies In doing so the beacon seems to grow stronger further increase in the magic draining process and speed at which they are Elevating color begins to fade from eight's eyes No, no no no no no no no Four slaps eight a couple of times but to no reaction No He continues attempting to wake her as her body begins to visibly wither growing grayer and grayer scp 7000 dash k though Still unconscious is still unconscious despite the beacon continuing to shrink his body Although he appears nearly incapable of locomotion due to exhaustion resulting from the transformative ritual He manages to kick himself free from the now inanimate colossus Freeing himself and the overseers both from the beacon as it continues to climb up Both crash down into the palace below shattering the face of the goliath statue scp 7000 dash k manages to stand and starts to slowly march towards the limb statue Grabbing his bleeding right arm his face twisted into a grimace Is this hello? Hello? There we go command hello hello four looks at the source tapping it twice Command command. Can you hear me? Barely we Can make out most of the situation your 100 kilometers below So we can finally make Out we four looks frantically between the camera the approaching scp 7000 dash k and the unconscious o5 8 redirect me to o5 dash 7 but now Matias limping grows quicker the radio crackles even worse than before but eventually comes to life belith you're taken seven all right There you go. Is this or what is this about? Four lowers himself barely touching the microphone with his lips Back up now any eigen weapons you have fire the metas All right, I'm afraid the only thing we have is a he core and Then fire it override code areal 3 o period o 1 7 7 7 Uh, you know, I can't compromise the life of two overseers without do it now O5 7 swallows understood sidebar Hey core eigen weaponry briefing He core in orbit is seen during the final stages of its construction He core or high-energy concentration orbital rail gun is an orbital eigen weapon satellite constructed and deployed by the foundation under project Longinus long genus in 1956 approved following the completion of the art Atreus or array an establishment of safe space travel by the foundation assets 10 years earlier Allegedly meant as a means of remote defense against emergent deific entities and veil breaking phenomena It has revealed itself over time to be a tool of political use as well As it turns out having a death satellite capable of targeting anything with a simple order Put our rivals back where they belonged quite nicely He core primarily operates by tracking and locking on to a specified targets coordinates while heating its thaumaturgy Leanto kinetic engines doing so through the use of a ritualistic rotation cycle Upload completion of said circulation It uses an immense amount of eave to power its ear light a thaumaturgy conducting metal Entirely excavated from the earth by the fey empire during its peak Rails which proceed to fire a beam of energy with enough power to rival 10 atomic Detonations a single shot cost a fortune of course and lasts a mere 20 seconds But it evaporates anything within a 2 kilometer radius of the designated target Despite its undeniable usefulness and power he core's usage is highly restricted for use only under the Crescent of a unanimous o5 council and even so it's further reserved for incredibly desperate scenarios Ignoring the fact that construction took more than a decade of effort from an entire foundation department assembled solely for the project And then it cost more than 100 trillion dollars to complete The damage it can cause if improperly utilized could likely lead to the total collapse of the worldwide veil protocol And trust me you do not want to get on overwatched ass for accidentally blowing up even a set of all the ancient and Pre diasporian year and in fey weapon technology. It took to compile the thing together uh signed Excerpt from when a containment cell fails by o5 7 released by internal foundation publishing Sorry, I would have read that if I didn't know it was if we had known who it was Yeah For nearly a minute no response follows scp 7000-k is nearly upon the open face of the goliath But suddenly stops looking upward through squinting eyes Then the feed stops abruptly for 20 seconds When the feed reestablishes the grotto in which they were resting is 10 times larger and the sky above is blindingly yellow o5 8 is standing once more actively attempting to bend the beacon of haykors energy towards scp 7000-k Who is similarly attempting to gain control over it despite their relative influence over it? Pardon me its energy continues to excavate more and more of the surrounding area Both parties pant heavily and are visibly exhausted clinging to consciousness But they remain in a deadlock regardless eyeing each other with pure desperation Between them the ritual beacon continues to tear its way up towards the surface as it begins to pulsate frequently Suddenly the thaumaturgic light meets with haykors energy and everything goes infinitely bright Two seconds later Both 8 and metheus are thrown against the opposite walls as the eigen weapons beam goes haywire and starts to bend Frantically moving around the cavern and damaging everything around it It almost touches o5 8 before tackles her grabbing the overseer as he ducks out of the way The beacon then rebounds off the wall and hits the ceiling above scp 7000-k forcing rubble to nearly bury him He appears unable to move Haykors fire meets the thaumaturgic energy once again This time the rebound makes the eigen weapon go sideways cutting a diagonal line up the surface Then it suddenly stops finishing its attack The beacon however still persists and escapes into the above ground piercing the sky and the grotto in which the three are trapped Everything slowly quiets down o5 4 is laying unconscious and o5 8 stands above him barely sustaining consciousness In the distance, matheus lays half buried underneath stones Only his right arm and bleeding head are still visible. He reaches outwards Footage of the above ground area surrounding haykors target the thaumaturgic backlash of two rays meeting combined with scp 7000 properties Anthomic field of its own resulted in a mass magma expulsion up from within the city scp 7000-k speaks This Is it over? I Suddenly the ceiling starts to rumble o5 8 notices it and covers herself and o5 4 with a protective bubble scp 7000-k is too late A series of rocks fall down upon him one of them seeming to split his skull He goes limp and the rest of the rockslide carries the body into the hole within which the sundown ritual beacon is still shining The very moment the corpse touches the beam it starts to burn with blinding intensity Forcing the carcass to become gray within an instant Its yellow turns into pure iridescent blue and the pillar fully shoots into the sky Terminating upon reaching the cosmos In that very point in space an illusion similar to the facsimile of the universe located within scp 7000-k's inner sanctum appears The beacon branches out into every star every planet in every galaxy visible within it forming a structure reminiscent of a tree Through it energy pulsates and it reaches each celestial body at a rapid pace making them glow with pure power Then they all explode One by one each of the fake stars burst amongst the clanging of falling metal and pounding of hammers They all shatter into a billion small glass-like pieces that float down like snow Slowly sinking to the ground as the ritual beacon fades For a single moment the entire world is silent Then a cacophony of hundreds upon hundreds of year-end voices seemingly coming from everywhere and nowhere Cheer from above and below But soon they too fall silent As the scene concludes 058 looks around herself smirking through near-death She gazes at four smiling sadly and sits down next to him touching him on the head For what it's worth. Oh, sorry. I thought I was doing it. Yeah For what it's worth. I'm so so sorry Eight passes out and the feed terminates End log closing statement Operation cleanup still in progress Overseer users are advised to see addendum 7000-7 for further information Gotta have gotta have seven addendums, of course. Oh, of course post-incident cleanup remainder of this file is level six seven thousand classified Welcome incoming overseer date august 6 1960 party's present 054 058 forward Following the retrieval of both overseers from within the inner parts of scp 7000 Following the incident described in addendum 7000-6 They were both immediately hospitalized within site one's medical ward Due to her onto kinetic abilities 058 was able to recover much more quickly than 054 Because of this the latter remained within his bed for the duration of a couple of weeks Finally awakening during the below recording begin log As 054 opens his eyes 058 is standing next to his bed propped up against the medical ward's wall She has her arms crossed and is playing with her hair, which is now loose She yawns loudly and upon noticing her brother is awake stops halfway through the gesture slightly embarrassed Took you long enough Four fought smiles faintly Glad to see you too Are we even now you saved me and I saved you twice even Yeah, I mean I Yes, I suppose so But there are better ways to show affection and care than shouting at me in council meetings, you know Especially if you're trying to convince me to do something 058 throws her hands in the air theatrically If you say so They look at each other silently for a moment until eight comes closer to four's bed grabbing a nearby chair and sitting on it So Uh, how how you holding up? He was likely patched me up. All right 054 points at his right hand still covered in plaster Even if there's some things I'm still waiting on Initially wanted to ship me to dash 12, but I refused Eight raises an eyebrow Let's just say I prefer to stay somewhere. I can actually Talk about what happened down there Props himself up with his left hand Speaking of which That's uh, actually why I'm here aside from you know you 054 space shows theatrical disapproval Oh, it's good to see that I can't have a moment of free time with my sister even after I nearly die Ha ha Eight snaps her fingers and a few centimeters above her extended hands a tablet manifest from thin air She catches it and presses a few buttons sticking her tongue out just slightly during the action after a few moments. She stops So I'm hoping you remember everything correct 054 exhale slowly Well, they pumped me up with enough nestics to kill a grown horse. So Yeah, that I do Everything until I pass out at least short pause Is he Did you get him? I is everyone safe Eight grins moving her fingers as a spark of purple runs through her eyes and fingertips Let's just say I took care of him And the ritual did you You've yet to see any them fly out into orbit, but I'm pretty sure what I saw down there means he just Needing an extremely strong magical catalyst to finish the thing and well His body was more than plenty Oh five four sides with relief So What about seven thousand me can't take care of it like this and Uh, one took over the project after I quit He made some packed the new rulers and set on we into progress worldwide He said he'll make sure to help those poor bastards find a place in the paranormal world Above while we continue to analyze their technology. Hopefully allow us to utilize it for further projects yada yada All that alpha slash 1911 bullshit. You get the point. You'll take care of them But I uh Well, I made sure you're free. You don't really have a say in seven thousand anymore. I mean do I by my own request Four looks at eight genuine terror in his eyes Because they have by which I mean I do Something infinitely more interesting and important for you Oh five eight pulls up her tablet in front of oh five four's eyes clicking the play button here The recording shows the events described in addendum seven thousand dash six catching oh five four up to speed following his loss of consciousness after a few moments the video ends not really uh Not really sure what you wanted me to see I mean It's nice to know what happened, but uh here here. Let me replay it for you She makes the video continue playing seconds before matias is terminated As the stone falls above his head killing him oh by four slightly flinches the recording stops again Yeah, I saw it the first time Watch closely The action repeats Don't you find it at least weird or suspicious? That's someone as powerful as matias got himself him As matias him got killed by a falling stone something so random so So seemingly reliant on pure bad luck Oh five four shrugs with his left arm I mean it was pretty hectic down there and Even if that's not what you mean, I think he more than earned himself a little misfortune because of what he did Oh five eight groans Uh, you're hopeless Point is I did some digging because I'm not a global idiot Put it through him anti-memetics unreality spectral affairs all nine yards and well She clicks a few things once more pulling up a different video. She makes it play Here's what I got out The recording is almost identical to the previous one However, a few moments before scp 7000-k dies a spectral figure reminiscent of a white ferd scp 1000 instance propped up against a cane Metaphas from thin air It looks directly into the camera slowly nods and swallows hard Then it moves its hand and the stone falls onto matias killing him It looks into the recording device once more this time with regret and size It jumps upwards into the opening formed by haycors activation leading up as scp 7000-k's body falls down into the ritual site The being remains up in the air for the next five seconds Is that Yes Everything lines up from the appearance to mannerisms according to akiva scans and whatnot. We're 99% sure It's from it Fuck me, but that's not all As matias corpse powers up the ritual and cosmos and the cosmos scenery explodes around the painting Panting 058 once again a loud screech full of hatred can be heard on the recording with each chain being broken and each star becoming reachable One more piece of another ghostly entity forms next to foment with the scream of a thousand dying souls Eventually they compile come together into a feminine fay figure with long silver hair a crown above her head Her face is filled with a grimace Jesus christ The figure tries to reach for foment's face with her claw-like figures Only for the yearan to easily repel her with a few moves of his hands Above his head but for a split second the face of another fay Similar appearance to the attacker, but the crown is instead replaced by a few turning gears can be seen They clash like this until 058 passes out at which point the recording automatically ends 054 blinks twice I uh Yeah No, I genuinely cannot begin to describe being I just at this late in the game There's a typo. I genuinely cannot begin to describe how much this changes to I think the two are actually alive and with this power and then the queen and the fact that I Yup, I thought you'd react that way Short pause during which the two don't even look at each other I had to say it but there's really only one way to go about this I think Eight looks into four eyes her own sparkling with excitement Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Oh by four nods and grins widely I think it's high time that we uh We come home And log closing statement further research into the true nature of scp zero one zero zero one Awaiting declassification blocked Uh, so just in general I believe scp seven thousand and other associated phenomena is currently ongoing Well, we're three and a half hours in we're three and a half hours in we finished one and a half articles Jim any sakes? Yeah, that was uh, that was a two and a half hour article gang That was quite the undertaking. It's different reading it versus reading it out loud. Oh, yeah I mean you're bound to skim some things when you're uh Yes, especially I've a VHD so it's kind of comes naturally. Um Um But yeah, the the I've confirmed the mobile version is a little bit more readable. Um Because yeah, like I'm much more easy to like much more likely to glaze over words and then make them wrong if uh It's I'll be right back contrast high contrast Um malice and if you're in the chat, I don't know if you are but You look at an admonition article Yeah, I think you were on one possibly You should look and see how they do their accessibility versions because it's easy to add and it helps people with You know, uh eye strain issues Yosie in the chat informs me that it is a that is the 01 we're talking about here is Ralliston's proposal the queen's gambit I got that wrong. Thanks for the tip. I was assuming it was the factory but I that makes sense That was he does say in the in the uh the comments that it's meant to tie in a lot of his works That was a ride. That was a ride Yeah A lot a lot of stuff. I really liked about that like, you know, I like the children of the night stuff. I like uh Like the face stuff is cool. We should have a fey tag I think I think we're due for a fey tag. Do they not have one? Yeah, like some sand and why don't they have a fey tag? Anyway, I mean chat petition for a fey tag It was all right. I think I'm kind of in the middle of like an up to a neutral vote. It's just so long That's the thing it's like, you know You don't need to say this much with that much length. It's it's Brevity is important. I think For me what it did that, uh, even at its length I I only had moderate drag compared to some of the other ones we've read right, uh and that's very much due to how weirdly well Ralliston did the same trick a dozen times Which was it was indescribable. It was so blank and yet so blank. It was so blank and yet so blank and Ah, oh Yasi says that uh, the nameless tag is the fey tag Gotcha. Ah because you don't say the fey. You don't say that word. Yes. That makes sense to me Uh, but I really get into whenever the dialogue's good and the characters here in the o5 and I I was super into like the whole time that kept me. Oh, yeah Absolutely. Absolutely. Um, I did not see the betrayal at the end coming the power rangers fight came out of nowhere for me But that that felt a little bit hammy. I mean, maybe it was on purpose But like the catchphrases and stuff and like the rocks falling on their heads like I kind of saw the like the reveal coming before it happened. So maybe that I like I'm like I would say there's no way you mean the Betrayal. Yeah, like yeah I figured that was gonna happen. I was like this guy's this too. It's too friendly. This is an scp article not, you know A children's book. Yeah, and they state early on that um The like the lore is kind of questionable and they don't have any proof that really anything that they say is is true So kind of like automatically kind of gives you this feeling of unease But you know what I want to question from for for allison at some point it's We went from calling it scp 7000 dash k to calling it matthews and we did it in the dialogue Yeah, the second that he started the he did the trust based ritual and the second it broke They switched back But they didn't switch back consistently after that broke it kept going back and forth between matthews and 7000 dash k Let me see. Is it uh The implication that 054 was the one who transcribed those specific documents. Maybe No, because it keeps changing in the fight Like during the power ranger fight to it'll say both eight and matthews are thrown against the walls Uh, maybe it's a fluctuation like I mean, we're really reaching for straws here. It's probably just a mistake on the author's part I was gonna say maybe But like if you really wanted to reach for straws, you could say something like there was an effect from the uh death oath thing And it was fluctuating towards the end because it was being violated But also not being not quite yet violated yet. And it was all this other thing. I don't know Yeah, I just want to know if it was intentional or what the mistakes are and I want to see them fix Because I like it when the things have meaning and I thought it had meaning until it didn't have meaning anymore One thing that I thought was kind of an odd choice was that in these logs Which are transcripts of the events happening and that has been recorded or is being relayed There's moments where they say things that are like what the character is feeling you're thinking I don't think you put in those sorts of transcripts like Um, there was one thing about 05 054 like if if he could do something Or he uh, he would feel something rather haunt like he was angry. He would do something But he's just too angry like angry to see it. Yeah Or you know, no, yeah, that was something he's too angry to see something That's not something that you would that as a transcriber you would actually put in there That's a motion of a character But I think if I'm betting here and it's funny that I'm defending it because you guys probably are upvotes And I'm kind of in the middle, but I think Honest to god, I think that is uh a specific choice on their parts because I think what it is is it like reality altering magics are being used all the time and these Logs are not reliable It even says that in a couple of places The ones that are Like just like the recount like the recollections from people. Yes, I can see that But like the ones where they're just transcribing what they see on the camera Those are also I don't remember they get mornings for like the alpha one or anything like that There's a real strong implication though that there's a reality warping effect. Oh, yeah, no effect. Absolutely. Yeah Um, I felt like there was a lot of different uses of the words like thaumaturgy Like there was thaumatic thaumaturgic thaumaturgically thaumatically thaumaturge So this is a this is a question. How familiar are you guys with? um The previous articles on this particular topic like the fey And uh, I know the forests and I I've I've some I have I have more experience with the apotheosis And children of the night and all that stuff that I do with the fey, but I have They barely bear bear bones knowledge scp integer the forest um One of my articles is technically favor related, but it doesn't mention it outright As I say the children of the night and faced up from the previous contests That has showed up. I can't say I haven't read them But they have definitely left basically no impact on me and I barely recall most of the details related to it Maybe that's a as this was going along Yeah, maybe As I was reading this there's like every once in a while, I'd be like, oh, yeah, that's that thing queen map I remember that but that stuff's just not interesting to me And like the topic and genre is just not for me And I think that's reflected in my disinterest in this as it went along Fair Well crafted high fantasy school. Um And I kind of like seeing it's like we're branching out from like the traditional horror tropes And then we're actually getting oh, there's fairies and you know Bigfoot All right real quick before we move on to the next article Let's hit today's ads today's ads are number one first and foremost the reason we're doing this The tree tried to kill me go fund me successfully reduce somewhat because of insurance possibly may be coming through Meaning we are much closer to our goal than we were Uh before please donate to this go fund me. This is the reason we're reading every single one of these gosh darn entries one way or another Uh for my advertisement for the day I'm going to direct you to scp redacted a live action scp web series Uh mini series that is dropping in september They have five episodes filmed five episodes ready ready to release their current goal is to get their youtube channel Enough watch hours to monetize. So right now they are up to We got them over a thousand subs, which is awesome. We got them Way past it, but we need to get them up to 4,000 watch hours and they just dropped a trailer today And so go check out that trailer. It's good. It reveals some of the anomalies. They're going to be dealing with And then for billeth, uh Let's start with twitch, huh? For twitch. Yeah, absolutely twitch.tv slash billeth We have a great cast of characters over there all scp adjacent Folks and community creators writers everything we all um, we all play games spooky games together. We have a lot of fun Come check it out. We also do like I've had samaritan on multiple times now. We you know, we talk about the you know articles. We do readings We have all sorts of fun over there. So definitely come check it out. Um, it's been uh, it's been a lot of fun Yeah, for sure ad break complete Let's see what's next I have to go No problem Glad you could join us for a little bit sim. We're gonna keep on trucking here. Absolutely. Yeah. Appreciate it. Good luck Yeah, see you next week Possibly. Yeah, I'll try to see what I can do. Cool. Our next round is Meet me in the stars by fabled tea flake. Okay. Nice I'll start to the moon. I'll start this one off. Why not? You take some water first I feel like a lot of these a lot of these uh space ones I I see a lot of similarities to uh to a certain proposal That is quite a sidebar my friend Oh snap and it's also about a uh relations with a uh other cohabitation with another species of um questionable origin interesting Oh crap. I forgot to get dr. Samarian to say ooo for desk of alto clef. All right Uh, you get an ooo from me desk desk sees him enough. You can get an ooo out of him You see him hit him up for a new ooo. Yeah, I'll do him for your desk Ooo All right, take it away bill. All right. It's me. Me and the stars fabled tea flake. Let's go A time will come when men will stretch out their eyes.

It's slightly run is it's harvesting all energy from a host star But yeah, it's very it's very close It is believed that it would take humanity over 10,000 years to reach a comparable level of technology at its current rate of development current distance Approximately six so what is the okay Current distance approximately six hundred fifty five thousand kilometers We truly we're not alone Are they like us? No, not at all Fascinatingly we bear few if any similarities But such a thing does not matter This discovery is this discovery is a culmination of a lifetime. No several lifetimes of work And now we finally see now we finally know we truly are not alone in the universe So what do we do next? Do we send them a message do we wait for them to speak first? Too many questions permit me to work Wait that is Addendum seven thousand dash one oops All right briefing scb seven thousand dash one initially manifested Approximately four hundred five thousand kilometers from earth between the orbits of earth and venus Due to its proximity to earth scb seven thousand dash one was immediately visible with the naked eye across the northern hemisphere And parts of the southern hemisphere Foundation immediately began attempting to control the spread of scb seven thousand dash one information via media control The deployment of aerosolized amnestics and the deployment of targeted memetics to remove man's ability to view scb seven thousand dash one directly Investigation into scb seven thousand dash one was allowed Within 12 hours of scb seven thousand dash one's initial manifestation A series of five messages were rapidly broadcast across global radio networks The the foundation employed rosetta.aic footnote foundation aic designed to perform esoteric and anomalous translations to translate the messages After 22 days of analysis by rosetta.aic the messages were successfully translated all messages received translated to the following Hello, have we heard Does this world think? It should know pretty quickly on that they're all the same Addendum seven thousand point two march 28th 2027 site 120 um, I'll take uh, selas if you uh See us if you want to do ashworth. Yeah All right, let's make a doctor ashworth. Yeah We have been staring at a message that on rosetta's screen for nearly half an hour in complete silence Had become a repetitive practice at this point visiting the room to see if rosetta had finally cracked the code We knew she had she had the ability to we knew such a thing was possible in theory But neither i nor ashworth really expected it to come through a message in plain english from an alien civilization Ashworth was the first to I need at least to finally speak And that's all they said I've run all these messages through rosetta more times than I can count And this is all i'm getting back Rosetta has a 99 confidence rating and the only reason it isn't perfect has become some errors made back when she first went online I'm pretty confident in this translation It's a lot of characters for such a short statement. What are the o5's had to say about it? initially Uh flipped their shit But the fact that suddenly the entire planet's population could see an anomaly just sitting there in the sky It's good took a few hours for the messages to come in because from what I heard They spent the time arguing about whether over whether to knock everyone out on the planet and throw in an antibiotic shield over the planet to keep attending It wasn't there Yeah, but what about now? Well, that's why they came to me and why i'm talking to you you spoke for a bit or well I guess it was less speaking and more talking them off a ledge I reminded them about site 120's efforts and that seemed to convince most of them to try something different We want us to talk to them, maybe even integrate them into our world That's surprising me mananimous of them I'd regale you with the entire conversation, but honestly it really wasn't that interesting You know as well as I do that times are changing ashworth The work you've all done here at 120 is the proof that we can actually start taking those steps to lift the veil bit by bit We're hitting the point where maybe Just maybe community can stand to know the anomalous exists ashworth cracked a smile If the o5 has approved it, then i'm all for it. Let's drop the response After some discussion the foundation returned the following message Hello, let's talk Addendum 7,000 point 3 april 3rd 2027 After a series of messages transmitted and received through reddit was that aic The native children of scb 7000-2 agreed to send a representative to meet with foundation representatives Due to humanity's inability to cross through scb 7000-1 the scb 7000-2 Representative agreed to meet in a foundation site on earth To ease the process of integration in advance of a v receiving representatives the foundation integration committee began Be classifying initial scb 7000 Findings to world governments and in the general public On april 3rd 2027 Two representatives from from scp 7000-2 arrived at site 120 each individual came equipped with specialized suits that allowed them to survive under earth's environmental conditions With their express consent foundation personnel called reset installed reset aic into each suit to facilitate facilitate a record of interactions between foundation agent basil see us and scb 7000-3 is transcribed below footnote A foundation agent with extensive history of successful communication and negotiation with anomalies It's true Site 120 For several days we sent messages back and forth across the wormhole to another To one another with rosetta as our translator. They were eager to talk After receiving our initial response. They sent hello back seven times in rapid succession Conversations were extremely basic relatively speaking They wanted to know what we called ourselves what our world was what kind of life we were We asked the same in kind Only so much can be accomplished Accomplished through messages, however So eventually we agreed to meet one another So wonder they sent an envoy two members of their species. They held in high regard We met them with a hazmat team from at first to ensure they were properly de-contaminated before a meeting could start They had arrived wearing specialized suits that allowed them to survive earth's atmosphere And we took the opportunity to install a copy of our zeta dot aic into both to facilitate communication I was worried that I was worried the meeting would be tense fine There we go. I was worried the meeting would be tense whether we wouldn't know where to start As soon as I entered however, I was immediately rushed by one of their envoys So immediately he began grabbing and tugging at my face It needed at my cheeks and brushed his fingers through my hate my beard all with a sense of abject wonder and fascination And let's see Um, do you want to be the aliens you take the humans because there's gonna be more humans down there perfect Look they are soft and malleable What a wonder and upon their face a chitinous material like our furred animals Whoa, uh, hello. Nice to meet you as well The other joint tugging at my hair We vocalized to one another with chittering clattering sounds accompanied by them at stomping their front legs A mouth the quiet saved me to ashworth. We simply smiled in response Truly fascinating to think a furred animal could be capable of thought And only four limbs On behalf of the foundation the scp foundation I would like to formally welcome you both to planet earth We have a lot to discuss So I ask that you go ahead and join us at the table and let go of agency us Don't worry. You can start tugging at his face again in a minute Ashworth shot me a slightly uncomfortable smirk as the two continued their poking and prodding now focused on my arms I flipped him the bird Before we begin anything which we refer to you at both ads right now our documentation refers to you all as scp 7000-3-a and b respectively But honestly that's excessive They ask for names very well. I am called ketadanga but no translation performed by comparing scp 7000-3's linguistic system and comparing similar phenomes and morphemes in the english system Though there was a high chance of inaccuracy these name translations were both scp 7000-3 instances interviewed I am called katekin. Oh ketadanga. Look the lame is firm with some solid internal skeletal structure They continued chittering back and forth to one another as ashworth attempted to maintain control Thank you both now then You were the ones who sent out those messages, correct? That was myself to be particular Well, katekin was part of the team involved I sent the message Us we are filled with joy that your species were able to respond Was that a struggle to translate tone even between familiar human languages? Even with that limitation I could tell ketadanga was uncomfortable to some degree. It seems stiff overly formal Despite that discomfort and formality It was still more than willing to analyze me like a science experiment In the moment I couldn't help but imagine a board meeting full of these guys talking in business with rubbing their hands all over one another This is an amazing opportunity for us as well Though we do have to ask what the goal of that message was The portal was open between our worlds and our opportunity to speak was presented We have sent our message to many planets over the ages, but this was the first to respond We wish to meet The species here is the first one like us. We have ever seen I have been looking at this world from a distance and the portal opened And I wish to see what this planet holds what the people here have created sound a little bit like doofenshmirts from uh mason's verb So a little bit of doofenshmirts a little bit of farnsworth in these two. I see that I see. Yeah So are you hoping for a cultural exchange then? Whatever that it whatever it is that can be shown to us We want to learn and share in return while we still have time With the wormhole where it is we can't really hide you guys from the world Nor should we I think it's something that we both benefit from We've been working towards pulling back the veil bit by bit, but veil A technical term it's what we call the separation between humanity our species and what we can't explain with science We are not sure we understand I'm sure our representative can explain once we start as I was saying though The wormhole effectively tore the veil down in a night While we could hide away from the world. There's no real benefit for that either for either of us A cultural exchange is probably the best way for us to start understanding and introducing your society to our own I'm all for it This is news that fills us with joy We've already chosen kartechen as the one who will represent us if that is acceptable That's perfectly acceptable. We're more than willing to show kartechen around basil basil Yep, I could take the point here I see I see like basil is like I think the regular pronunciation But also a lot of fable tieflings characters have like urban spice names, but noticed I know I only know it from the english basil Basil I reached out a hand to kartech it gazed back Though it didn't emote the same way we did I could tell it was confused I reached out a hand out after a moment and I grasped it in my own Kartechen recoiled yanking me onto into the table. I paused for a moment to catch my breath before laughing Here we can use this as our first cultural exchange. This is a handshake I held out my hand once more We use it to say hello Kartechen once again reached out its hand at the hesitation and I took it in my own Kartechen flinched as I began to shake before returning the gesture with an equal vigor That's cute. Current distance approximately 550,000 kilometers Yes, is there a problem? Those coordinates are a fairly compromising spot. No I'm aware of the risks involved here that being said this is truly Uh, that is this truly an opportunity we can pass by after all this time I I suppose it is not We need to understand This is not a pure scientific curiosity This is the culmination of millions of lifetimes of work Something that can finally allow us to die peacefully knowing that life lives on out there on the other end of the universe To know that something will live on after we're gone I want them to know as much as anyone else here does But is this course of action truly worth the risk? It has to be Site 120, what is it? We are here. We are to see first To be completely honest. It's difficult to really decide where to begin Humanity is not a model with the species. There's a myriad of cultures and societies to potentially show you and each would be different I've got a pro approval to take you off site. So the worlds are oyster Cardigan trick chittered in response rubbing its forelegs together four arms I hadn't really figured out what to call the upper limb limbs where their hands were at this point I had seen cardigan walking using all six appendages trying to figure out and not analogous biology was proving to be a struggle Hmm something wrong The voice that translates the words. I do not understand what it spoke I understood world and hour, but what is oyster and what does such a statement mean? I chuckled All right, right. Sorry. I should have I should avoid using idioms The world is our oyster just means that we're in a position to take advantage of the opportunities life has to offer us Humans have a lot of little expressions like that Oh, so this oyster means great opportunity. I could say that communications between our worlds is our oyster Cardigan trickered again this time bobbing its whole body up and down. I laughed Huh, I could the donkey was asking about the veil area, right? This is correct. We were not understanding what was being described by ashworth Science can explain anything with enough time. Can it not? For example, science can explain why humans have a skeleton inside their bodies instead of outside Certainly, there was nothing here that cannot be explained with study I have something to show you first. It might help a bit I'm sure nothing will go wrong Current distance approximately 480,000 kilometers It is done It is done There they are It is beautiful Then them 7,024 April 4th, 2027 site 120 So what does this word veil mean? By that we mean the veil of secrecy what we at the foundation hide from the world Cardigan once again made that chittering sound rubbing its appendages together Did you people ever never hide away from the things you couldn't understand? That is correct. What is being hidden away? Well, there are certain rules to how the universe operates, right? Certain immutable truths that never change Take this apple for instance. I grabbed an apple off of someone's desk as we walked by It could be here or it could be on your planet. What do you call it? Nest is our home's name Right, so it could be here or on nest But if I do this I drop the apple and we watch this hit the ground and roll away It will fall It'll fall slower on your world. Sure, but it will still fall Gravity is one of those constants, right? Well, what if something broke that rule something that should be following it if I drop the apple and it floated away We wouldn't need to catch it so it would not leave Well, that's true. That's not all there is to it. We would step in we would hide it away It's what the veil is for to keep things that break the rules of the world away from the public eye Why I wish I had an answer for that the foundation's mission is to secure contain and protect There's plenty of things that here that are here for a good reason Things that I would that would hurt a lot of people if we let them out There's also a lot of things here that I wish we didn't keep secret to begin with That's part of why site 120 has been working on the integration project I stopped as we arrived at our destination It was one of site 120 classrooms a school for the younger anomalous humanoids on site There are about 23 students in the room of varying shapes and sizes Some could pass as your average 13 year old while others were barely recognizable as human Each paid close attention to the foundation agent in front of the room giving a lecture about on global history This is what I wanted to show you This is a classroom. There are places like this all over the world There where we take our young and teach them almost everything they need to know about being human This one is different though. Can you guess why? They are all what is referred to as anomalous. Yes Right Most of these kids have never left site 120 those that have we're only outside as little kids and barely remember it They're all here for different reasons too That one there she used to she is here because she can light fires with her mind That boy over there only here because he can summon a monster with a storybook What is it they all have on their tables Those are books. Please tell me you guys have at least had books at some point in your history Books. Yes, I believe so Many many years ago long before I was born things with words inscribed in them. Yes Though I don't recall them looking like that Well, no matter what they look like Same basic ideas here. These are things with words in them to pass on knowledge to the next generation Google is sat in silence watching the class At one point the teacher seemed to direct the students to work on some group activity with each student getting up and moving tables together One student was left alone in the corner of the room for a moment to hit our motion to join the another group of kids Partaking hung its head its wings vibrating something wrong No, I am merely thinking I was going to ask if all humans had such wondrous abilities But the truth that some are kept here while others are not answers the question Why have we come here first? These kids are like you guys over on nests Part of the first anomalies that get to go past the veil and join society at large They're wonders and wonders that finally get to see the rest of the world now that you're all here Cardigan tapped is two front legs rhythmically I see I see what are we going to see together next? There's a lot of worlds out there. Let's start with something simple In Bendham 7,000.5 April 25, 2027 Barcelona, Spain Your flying machine was exceptional such a strange design simplistic yet effective. What did the people call it again? We call them airplanes Oh, the word does not translate so I cannot pronounce it. I will simply call it the flying machine Tell me more about it I smiled Cardigan had been like this all night every little thing seemed to amaze it The intricate machinery to the plane itself the plane itself to the fabric on the seats I honestly felt like I was with a kid. It was hard to believe that the being in front of me was from a civilization Nearly 10,000 years our senior When did the people of this world create these machines? It must have taken such a long time Well, it was the first successful flight was in 1903 a little over 120 years ago Though wasn't until 1914 that the first commercial flights happened. Does that help? It is challenging to understand the timeline our worlds do not have the same metrics From our understanding this planet is very slow to orbit its star and rotate on its axis Nest is not nest orbits quickly, but has a similar rotation speed Well to find a day here as a 24-hour cycle So take that flight we had for example That flight was about three hours give or take a few minutes a day is 24 hours So we could repeat the flight eight times exactly and we'd have a full day following so far It shittered in response and we go to fingers. I had to assume that meant yes A year is about 365 days that we had that flight 2,920 times that would be a full year Cardigan stopped in place Switching its head back and forth with its arms held up after a moment it dropped its arms and opened its mouth 120 years is 120 years is Yeah, it's a long time No, that is no time at all The species here was able to master flight in such a short period of time That period is so short that psias must have hardly aged since then Oh, uh, I uh, wasn't alive yet. I'm only 30 years old Cardigan stopped walking once more and flailed its arms about wildly Chittering then psilis is but an infant a child. So this is how in psias knew so much about the school Cardigan if we translated your age to earth years, how old would you be? 1743 years. I am aware I am very young, but please do not see me as unfit to be the envoy of my people We had finally left the airport at this point about to take our first steps in the public for the first time I shitted my eyes against the sun as I looked out across the city. It was still early so the streets were fairly empty We weren't while we weren't trying to keep cardigan secret. It was best for us to start with a lower profile Cardigan you see that group of people over there Yes, I see five people If you added up the age of everyone in that group they wouldn't equal half of your age You lie, certainly they are not all so young. Is the species composed of nothing but children and infants You know you figure out all the math questions and the esoteric hypotheticals that give you pretty quick So I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet cardigan. Those are adults I'm an adult humans don't live much past 80 years on average At this point I was starting to understand its physical mannerisms The reaction cardigan gave to his information could be best described emotionally as visceral disbelief And physically I as I told my three-year-old that elma wasn't real It was a flailing of nearly every limit had with each appendage moving about and would appear In what to a casual observer would appear to be a half hazard emotions Half hazard emotions those who were paying attention however would notice the specificity of each motion Each arm and leg moving intentionally to convey a meaning to a silent observer Cardigans people were as nonverbal as they were verbal Communicating the language with that no translator would ever catch It's true by the way, I'm not here to lie to you or trick you You're you all are clearly long lived which isn't too shocking considering you orbiter red dwarf Humans however are fleeting we're here and gone in an instant That moving vehicle there how long ago did the species create it? 1886 about 141 years ago The lights powered by electricity 1879 148 years ago The species how long is it existed? Oh Now that's a good question We don't really know for certain but our rough estimates of say about 200 000 years ago Cardigan was smart with silent once more body completely still But it did find the move it was to glance over the city and watch the sunrise Cardigans eyes followed the cars as they passed watching people as they crossed the streets There are so many of you It's early most are still asleep I must see more show me more Current distance approximately 460 000 kilometers How long do you think that existed? Can we not just ask? Yes, but I wanted to speculate with someone as first consider it a scientific inquiry I would suppose based on their level of development at least one million or so years It's hard to tell for sure since we are at such different levels of development But I think that's a safe guess based on what we know Impressive Like what was said prior we can simply ask they've been speaking to us for some time now. Should I send them a message? Actually that is not the question I wish to ask Can we ask them to meet? I wish to know them better. I want to see what wonders they've created with my own eyes Barcelona Spain What is this place? Park de la Ciutadella It is one of the larger green spaces in the city I used to take my daughter here all the time so I figured you might enjoy seeing it as well There's a zoo to see some native earth life some architecture I was cut off by cardigan rushing off towards a nearby tree It was a young palm Likely recently planted due to how easily cardigan could reach its fronds I took a front and it took a front in its hand and general gently ran a finger over it before turning back to me Cardigan's eyes remained fixed on me for a moment before it looked back at the front I walked over the This vegetation it is similar to something we have on nest Really Yes, though not the same color and it does not hurt my hands when I touch it Cardigan raised its eyes skittering over to another tree Yet this one is completely different. I have never seen structures like this on vegetation That's a maple tree. I think those things you're rubbing there are at there are leaves Cardigan fell silent there at first I thought something was wrong So I noticed that praying mantis had crawled from a tree onto its hand Its eyes fixated on the small bug Things here are so similar yet so vastly different at the same time How can it be? I planted on the other side of the universe with such similarities Who can say pure chance luck? We found the luck. Yeah A wonder of existence a creature like any other caradid of our world and yet Cardigan moved the mantis to its other hand Do you think creature are you like us? Sorry, but you probably won't get anything from it. There are a few things that can speak on earth The only ones you'll likely meet out there are other humans Cardigan placed the mantis back onto the leaf Even if there are others here who can think how lonely it must have been What do you mean by that? How lonely it must have been to be stuck to this planet alone in your galaxy I wasn't exactly sure how to respond to cardigan there. He stood in silence watching the mantis walk across the leaf This this tree was one I walked by all the time before not something I ever paid much mind to By all means it's a standard tree the kind that most of the population couldn't even name if you asked In our silence, however, I put myself in cardigan's place Looked at the leaves on the tree talking in the fact thinking the fact that it was each wasn't a uniform shade of green Some were paler almost yellow while others were vibrant dark green Some leaves held small insects while others were still unfurling out having only grown recently I plucked off a leaf and handed it to cardigan cardigan took it and held it up to its eyes It was a strange sight An advanced species marveling over a leaf like a kid I smiled as we left for our next location current distance approximately 45 000 kilometers How have things been so far? Honestly words cannot describe it. They really don't like us in many ways But at the same time they're almost like children I appreciate the things they seem they seem so easily impressed by But they don't seem to realize the true wonders of this world I'm trying to show them They seem pre-optimized with simple things Different perspectives just remember where each of us come from and where they come from Our experience is shaped what is important to each of us While I'm speaking I need to ask we've noticed yes Yes, I've been monitoring the distance between both planets How much longer? Unsure of as right now Or unsure as of right now We have we still have time and not as much as I would like just Be ready How cruel the universe can be to present us with this opportunity and then rip it away in an instant Uh-oh Triple on the horizon The event horizon I then do 7,000.6 April 6th 2027 Barcelona Spain What is that strange structure? Basilica e temple extra extra peitiori de la Segrada Familia or simply the Segrada Familia. It's a holy site A place of worship then It's non-traditional, but yes It was under construction for over 100 years though. I guess that's not really impressive to you guys. Is it? Why is it shaped that way? It is very different from the other buildings I have seen so far Uh Cardigan traced the outline of the structure with the finger Oh, well the only way to explain the really explain that would be would involve explain the history of church architecture Let's just say for artistic reasons It paused listening to Rosetta translate my words a familiar clicking of confusion allowed followed That word did not translate Which word artistic Yes, that is the word. What does it mean? Well, it's Shit, how do I explain the concept of art? Do you all not have art on nest or something? I do not know Yes, you wouldn't right art is Remember that leaf you showed you stared at yesterday going with the mantis on it Yes, I remember it very well Would you say that leaf was beautiful Beautiful I suppose. Yes, it was Art is when you create something beautiful for other people to see But art can also be creating something ugly for people to see It's like a commentary on something in the world or society God, I'm not sure how to explain this Take a look at the cathedral again It's it's a work of art not just because it's pretty because of the history represents It's the work of dozens of architects combining their design into one massive collaboration And it's a work that survived a civil war and a disease It's art because of what it represents. I guess Oh It was subtle, but cardigan's body stiffened up episode slightly dimension of war and disease Here follow me. I've got a better place to show you and we could talk religion while we walked I led cardigan away from the cathedral It kind of began to gather anyway, and I wasn't ready to start filling questions about chariots to a group of tourists After a few minutes of walking in silence cardigan started asking questions again He spoke about religion and how humans survived Humans believed different things and that there were no universal beliefs about god or the divine Would it not be easier to believe in the same thing? Do these fundamental differences in thought not lead to conflict? I told it that unfortunately. Yes, it does lead to conflict considering its reaction to the last mention of war I didn't elaborate further on that I simply reminded it that humanity is not monolithic Everything I've shown you here so far It would be completely different even just a few kilometers away in this same country The further around the globe you move the more different it is Honestly, if I had to say that's the greatest wonder of humanity how different we all are We arrived at our destination at this point a small art studio slash cafe combo in the revolt neighborhood It got us both a canvas and a set of paints and set up in the plaza outside What is it I should do here? Simple I'm gonna paint you and I want you to paint me right that word probably doesn't translate No that word is understood Cardigan grabbed a brush and dipped it in paint the next thing I knew I had a stripe of blue down my arm There I have painted cyus. Is this what is called art? I suppose it could be depending on who you asked I feel as if I am understanding art less the more less and less the more we discuss it Here let me show you hold still I'll be quick Cardigan frozen place as I began sketching and painting on my canvas when it was finished. I showed him the final product Oh, it is me It's a nice picture It is this is what I meant before my by paint you I recreated your image on the canvas. How does this make you feel? I feel joy. My hearts are beating with joy. This makes me feel significant Good That's what art is art is something that makes people feel something or gets them talking Could I make art or only certain humans capable? Like I said earlier depending on who you asked you've already created art by putting that blue paint on me Real answer though anyone could be an artist give it a shot try painting me on your canvas and image caption says painting of cardigan by agent best Uh How'd you pronounce it? He said uh basil bat like basil. Okay. That's fine basil. See us hovered to and launch. Nice I seem big Cardigan grabbed the brush and paint once more. I sat still as it furiously painted with an intense expression on its face Its arms were uncoordinated and at many points it looked more like cardigan was slapping the canvas with a brush rather than painting But when it showed me the final product it beamed with pride You could hardly tell what the painting was supposed to represent Looking like a half-hazard splashing of colors that would make even the most abstract of contemporary arts artists blush What cardigan was pleased Is this art? Am I an artist? Of course you are this is wonderful work cardigan cardigan removed the canvas from his easel and handed it to me Sia should keep this a present from me as a thank you for what it has done I took the canvas and hand cardigan mine in return And you keep this so you can remember so you can remember when you started your art journey We got up to leave but cardigan immediately became distracted by a group of people in the streets And the image caption says painting of angel agent basil. See us by cardigan hover to enlarge What is this? Oh, right. I forgot that they were doing a tango demonstration today Someone turned on the music and people began pairing up. We watched the groups dance moving about the plaza with the coordinated steps and dips This makes me feel excitement. Is this art? It's dancing which is a form of art. Yeah May we try as well? We Those humans are paired in groups of two Oh, right, right, right. Sure. I'll dance with you just a heads up. It has been a while since I last did this We set our canvases aside and set out to the plaza I moved Cardigan in front of me placing one of its hands on my hip and the other holding the other out I had cardigan place its front legs on my feet in order to help guide it through the steps We began moving and it clumsy approximation of the other dancers Sias is warm. Is something wrong? No, it's just I spun cardigan and led it into a dip. It was light. It barely It's barely three foot frame easily moved about You reminded me of my daughter We used to go dancing like this all the time when she was little about your size actually You humans are quite large Well, I'm taller than most if that makes you feel better The crowd had begun to gather to watch the display despite our clumsy uncoordinated movements It felt as if most eyes were on us Remind me of her in a lot of ways actually She was always so curious about the world Stopping to admire every flower we pass in the park always asking why things were the way they are So many questions and my husband and I never felt like we had all the answers I spun cardigan around once again Even now I feel like I don't have the answers, but that's fine These movements these moments are special and I'm glad for the opportunity to share them with you Sia sounds sad when talking about the child. Did something happen? I laughed I guess I am talking like she's dead. No, she's just grown up now Off living her own life. I'm not sad either. Just nostalgic. That's all I took a wide step and dipped cardigan once more for one final spin I let go of its hands and bowed after a moment of confusion it bowed in return I'd hardly I'd hardly it had hardly been an impressive display But the gathered crowd cheered for us nonetheless Wow, people are really taking well for this Current distance approximately 410,000 kilometers Anything new to report? I'm trying to find ways to describe it At all that does not repeat what I've already said. I'm learning so much here Yes, in many ways, they're all well behind us, but they have and do things I never thought possible There were concepts I have learned that I cannot be even explained in ways that make sense Things I still have yet to understand myself They will not be behind us for that much longer. We have seen the pace they're moving at. Yes It'll be at our level in but a moment We were lucky to have met one another. I just wish There was more time Addendum 1007 April 7th 2027 so many sevens nest Cardigan surprised me in my room the next morning. It insisted that we go to its home world right away I was confused to be honest There's still so much to see here. I remember asking there hardly been a week But cardigan wouldn't take no for an answer. It spoke with a sense of urgency that couldn't be ignored So we loaded up into the shuttle alongside catatanka the only thing that passed through the other side and we left Frankly, I expected more when passing through the portal I'd grown up on the classic sci-fi movies after all something inside me was expecting this flashy jump to hyperspace As I'm pressed against the seat looking on holding on for dear life But it wasn't anything momentous at all But all means it wasn't any different than a trip to the moon by that I mean no jumps those sudden shifts the momentum. They were simply just there Current distance approximately 380,000 kilometers Yes, that is why I'm being contacted. Yes, that is correct The current projections are inconsistent as to what exactly will happen But they all spell out some level of disaster for both our people Then might I make a request? Of course May I bring cs to us like humans see our world before it's too late for both of us? Are we certain that is the correct choice? Yes They should know us as we know them Well, there is still time very well Caption view of earth from sv7000-2 recovered from agency ss body cam. That is wonderful by the way. I love that picture Yeah, it's like otherworldly but still kind of like, you know, it looks photorealistic enough Kind of evokes a uncanny feeling and they mentioned the palm prongs which we have here. Yeah In the wake of an eye I was on the other side of the universe There was a small solar system no more than maybe five planets orbiting a red dwarf Didn't get get much time to really take it in all though as a We arrived at nest within an hour much sooner than I expected but their tech was vastly superior to our own We settled down somewhere on nest And the shuttle doors open It was so familiar We landed on the beach with white sand not unlike our own The distance I could see a myriad of shrubby plants sporting dark red or orange leaves that transitioned to black near the center Even the sky above felt familiar Aside from their sun appearing as a massive pale orb in the sky The sky itself wasn't unlike the earth sky during a sunset I could see our portal hanging in the sky above on the other side of a pale blue dot that I called home Please come with us. There's much to show you and not much time I nodded and followed behind depending to what I could best describe as a forest or jungle It was difficult to judge climate in my suit This is nest our home the only one we have ever known You never colonized other worlds We attempted it on many occasions our needs are very specific Most planets we found were unsuitable Planet Earth shouldn't be able to host life at all based on our calculations It is not tidally locked the atmosphere is so thin Likewise, it is so far from its host star that it does not receive the amount of solar energy that is required to support life It is a miracle humanity exists and even more so the humanity is advanced I guess this is the point where I say the opposite, huh? The fact that uh by our calculations There's no way your planet should support life because of all the reasons you say we can't They paused clicking to one another It looked like they wanted to say something in response, but both remained silent as they moved into what appeared to be a city of some kind The structures were low to the ground and rounded Some most were taken by nata flora In some cases nearly indistinguishable from the surroundings aside from odd rounded Budges from the ground budges Bulges, maybe are these rounder houses interesting They were all built with a sense of purpose There were no decorative elements or pattering on them As we walked I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. It was also quiet Aside from cardigan and karadanka. I didn't see any other characters present I wanted to ask but a solemn look from cardigan told me enough It was eventually led to a massive structure Looking like several of the smaller ones stuck together without much sense of organization or purpose The wall itself manifested a door that slid open as we approached From there I was led led led to a large room filled with indescribable technology Some were vaguely familiar screens buttons dials None had a clear purpose to my eye, but there was a sense of recognition regardless Others were utterly foreign composed of metal bars and wires that looked ready to electrocute me or chop off a limb if I got too close This is also where we finally saw other characters a small group of no more than six that huddled around us with chirps and clicks They eyed me with a hungry curiosity There were no chairs, so I leaned myself against the safest looking place I could find cardigan finally spoke Cias has many questions. Yes, please ask them Oh god, uh, what was that stuff that we walked through outside? What is this place it's just just like a small city since there aren't many of your people here I stopped myself from idling off more my brain was buzzing and it wasn't a good feeling for once Yes, what I expected see humanity is curious like us the curiosity is just in the simple things We should start with the simple questions This is the largest city left on the planet and what we saw outside are the remains of homes and businesses Cardigan looked at me waiting for me to interject our main silent Cias does not have questions about that No, actually, I think I know what's going on here. Remember back at the cathedral Yes I said the word war it was subtle, but you stiffened up like that That with everything you just said that I just saw well, it doesn't take an intelligent species to piece it all together Instead I ask this How many of you are left They are all here Eight I counted this time and there were eight characters in the room It was hard to tell how old they were but based on what cardigan told me prior about its age It seemed to us safe to assume that most were as old if not older than it No others in the world None How long has it been Cartekin is the youngest it happened when it was freshly hatched from the nursery And there haven't been any other kids since The group chattered to one another and cardigan mentioned Emotion for me to follow it I was led to a section on the floor which that began descending deeper into the ground than when we stood on it It took us to a large cavern Looking around I can see the ground covered in large obvular obvular obvular objects colored in a splotchy green This is the nursery. It is where the eggs are kept and where they hatch There's easily over a hundred here Correct more specifically there are 345 eggs here Forgive my confusion then because I just don't understand what the problem is Neither do we It has been over it has been one of our greatest sources of frustration and confusion for over a thousand years Every single leg is viable and it should not take more than two years for them to hatch and yet I kneeled down with a flashlight and shown it in one of the eggs. It was faint, but inside I could see a vaguely carotid shaped silhouette We've accepted extinction You can't be serious I am We accepted it long ago once the old began dying Soon hundreds became dozens and dozens became eight What hope was left for us? With all your technology surely you could Psyus, please we know And I know that Psyus knows as well. We have tried everything we can We are not afraid. We accomplished our goal in the end What was that goal? To meet another like us another capable of thought From the beginning we worshiped the idea that our planet was not alone That despite how impossible life should be here it existed regardless and therefore had to be another Part of it can lead me back to the elevator and went back outside You could see the stars above foreign constellations from stars whose light We couldn't wouldn't reach earth for millions of earth years still It was a nice dream early on, but we never really focused on it We built up our society began at home first We learned all of the creatures that lived here from the land to the ocean And then began learning of those on other planets nearby Uh Science note the uh, it's the light of those stars is not reaching earth Uh, it won't reach it in millions of years because the universe is expanding Less and less of the observable universe becomes visible over time. Anyway So you did find other light Yes and no Mound the net world next in line in our system had microbial life and never went beyond that Filter the world of gas beyond bound had makings of life, but nothing came of it nothing like us nothing that could think We began harvesting energy from our star and then used that to send groups out of our system Uh, that's the thing. That's the kind of thing. I wish we could do but there are so many problems at home still to solve Sia says that is that that was not the case here We had problems at home, but our eyes were blind to them Problems that I saw on earth as well There was something Sia said before humanity is not monolithic We were not either though not quite as diverse as earth seems Cardi can click stomping its back legs I do not wish to waste time describing the entire history of my people Time is precious right now Sias has already understood what happened Once that passed what those of us who remain doubled our efforts The portal technology was created once we focused all our efforts on finding another out there and we began peering across the universe Cardi can begin pointing to stars as it spoke Each star and system above was searched all barren and empty nothing more than a few dying microbes Fitting I suppose for a few dying specks of dust to find others But you found us We did After two million years of our people's existence, we finally found another like us on their own little impossible world I looked to the sky fixing my eyes on the portal the pale blue dot on the other side Strangely enough didn't feel that far away. I almost looked like a moon in our own sky But fate is cruel Cartigan you keep saying that there isn't enough time I don't want to bother you about it, but there's something wrong isn't there Yes You need to go home right now Approximately distance uh current distance approximately 240 000 kilometers Cardigan we are out of time any longer in the nest will be destroyed. Oh, so it is cardigan Do you want to take over? Is that second voice? I like your voice. Does it truly matter? Even saving off death now does not mean we stop what is coming. We die either way Why can we not die here knowing we've passed on our knowledge to another? Cardigan such thing is impossible. It does not only risk us, but them as well It is all hypothetical is it not just modules and simulations that cannot be proven for sure We don't know what will happen Cardigan the knowledge gained from this exchange is invaluable Something we will never get again if we cut it off now There's still so much for them to see here and so much for us to see there Cardigan there are so many concepts left to discuss things to learn We have yet to speak on their belief systems of their history There's so many nations to see C.S. Is only seeing this one city. There's so much more of nest dilda cardigan enough The simulations do not lie if we do not close the portal either nest will be thrown through and to be torn apart by earth's gravity or worse It cannot be left open Is it not possible to simply close it and reopen it in a safer place? Those with the final coordinates cardigan the last person who knew how to enter in new coordinates died years ago This has been known There are none left who know how to enter more once the portal closes It's over That's all the more reason to cardigan I know I am just not ready to say goodbye Addendum 7,000 point 8 april 7th 2027 nest Cias looked at me. It's head cocked slightly to the side An expression of confusion when I had become very familiar with over the past few days Why all of a sudden something wrong? Yes, I need to be honest Our planets Have been slowly drifting towards each other the past few days. That's what you wanted to say, right? How did the foundation isn't dumb or ignorant cardigan? We've been monitoring the distance between our planets since the portal opened. It's pretty clear that you all opened it That you all opened it between our orbital paths And they aren't upset I can't say with the higher ups aren't upset about that that said there isn't a whole lot we could do about it Oh five wanted me to threaten you all to fix the problem, but that's not how I operate See us. Oh, sorry. See us made that strange rhythmic sound it often did when it found something humorous I like this change perspective. It's nice. Yeah, what happens next? I send see us home and the portal between our worlds is closed No way to reopen it No Damn We remain there in silence staring at the stars above We are so small are we not? How so We have searched every star we possibly can over our existence to find another like us Many have died searching hoping that there was something else out there Dying never knowing that there was There was someone else But even in knowing we were only able to know them for such a short time it might as well never have mattered These moments were fleeting and now they're over You're right We are small and it would have been nice to have more time together You all know it better than we do, but the universe is vastly on our comprehension When we die the stuff that makes ourselves will return to that universe We'll become the matter that makes up the next stars or even the next civilization You become part of that universe don't we? See us rose to its feet. It reached out a hand to me. I took it in my own This moment was fleeting, but we were lucky to have ever had it and no goodbyes forever So I won't say goodbye here instead. I'll say I'll see you in the stars I will See you in the stars They said the title roll credits See us left returning to the headquarters where Kedadonka would take it home I returned shortly after but by the time I had arrived they had already left One of the others who remained behind handed me something a gift from see us Inside was a set of brushes and paints While the others worked to close the portal I returned to the cavern below with my gift I laid the brushes out and I began to paint It wouldn't be a wonder nothing like what I had seen on their planet But it would be beautiful I worked long into sleeping time and into the next day stopping only to eat See us would never see it no one from earth would But it would be a memento of my times there When it was finished I sat my brushes down There it was my landscape of stars with a carotid and a human looking to one another I looked around and saw all the blank space that remind remained on the cave walls And began planning my next masterpiece In the distance I could swear I almost heard the sound of something cracking Jump scare out the head be careful What Current distance approximately 32 billion light years don't find us we'll be waiting adorable No, there's a lot of white space. There's no hidden messages Very very heartfelt Oh Sad That's an upvote immediately. I'm not crying. You're crying Yeah, um reminds me kind of like, you know a harbinger from series two very um It's like there's deep time elements, but then there's like the friendship and Forming a relationship with something that is Extra-terrestrial come from different You know, it's really different worlds Find something mutual the the whole like art the painting scenes. That was so funny. I loved it As a dance teacher, I was sitting here like oh, they're gonna tango now. All right now. I gotta Judge that Well, uh, luckily one of them seemed like they already knew what they were doing. So indeed Wow That was I'm I'm glad that it wasn't like the typical like oh, there's like a betrayal that happens or Oh, you know They showed him an anomaly in the anomaly Does something dumb and then like they get mad or something into like There's this is a very Wholesome story that's I'm honestly glad that they didn't save the day in the end Yeah, yeah that would have um muddled the uh the impact I think I was I was half expecting them to go like humans are the real problem and like have them like ridicule The aliens or something and have them like leave and then But this is definitely the best case scenario ending here for me is it I can terms of narrative Structure I did I was kind of confused by the back and forth in the current distance thing If they had colored the names maybe are the the words maybe I would have been because like if if I'm uh Understanding correctly the conversations both between cardigan and some other party and see us and Uh, like an oh five or something like that. I think I don't know if they're all from it, but like It seems like all of them are context versus just another one of their race and It's either car. It's either. Uh, what's his name the second one Kedadonka, but like uh, it says I suppose based on their level of development at least one million or so years It's hard to tell for sure since we had such a lot of different levels of development But I think that's a safe guess based on what we know We're not we weren't developing for a million years and that I don't know I mean like I think it's purposefully ambiguous until the end there. Yeah, it's fine um Yeah, like I it felt like it flipped back and forth, but I think it's just Yeah, it's probably just those two very cool very very good and We have reasonable time for maybe one more depending on the length Oh boy. I hope there's that there's enough for a couple more and it's just they're like normal length I saw it in the chat earlier. They said there was a sea of long ones in front of us Uh Ain't that just the way But tiefling got the upvote for meet me in the stars digging it. Absolutely. Absolutely.

I think I'll take mckinsey. That sounds nice. All right Good morning. Sorry for the wait. I just have a handful of questions to ask you about professor colway Uh, you you talked to dave, right? I wanted to talk more about how she was acting before her death We we were all having nightmares, which is I guess it's kind of normal because it was a creepy stressful site We started having the same dreams too. It was really scary We could you briefly describe the nightmares, please? A big trench full of mud something moving around in it. It's like kind of dark colored and reddish and soft I always sort of thought I was chewing on something down there like I was eating at the center of the earth doesn't sound um That's scary when I describe it It was always really scared when I was going to come out of the mud and I would have to see it The nightmare started after you retrieved the spear from the dig site Yeah, we had taken it over to the lab trail to get better pictures Because it was so weird It's not made out of a kind of metal that you would find at these sites. You have to be able to forge iron The spear was in the dream too It was stuck in the mud next to me or in my hand sometimes I guess it should have been a relief. I have a weapon, but it wasn't I'm scared of that thing It feels like it really wants us wants to be used Mackenzie pauses for several seconds Thank you back to call way Well, um One morning professor call way Started shouting about how she'd seen its face and how it was coming out of the mud And it was here with us And then she got she grabbed this beer and she stabbed kodi with it and he was screaming too She got him in the chest And you shot her Well, um, I guess I did right we Had the guns with us for wild animals and I've had a bit of gun training, but I honestly I just nicked her. I barely aimed for anything. She just looked at me and then she fell over and was dead Mackenzie begins to shake violently Researcher night uses this time to inspect the files on their desk Did they tell you that the post modern analysis indicated she died of heart failure? No, I didn't kill her then You only shot her in the arm. It was very brave of you It was stupid Maybe that too a little Thank you for answering my questions. Let me get you some water and you can get out of here Oh, thank you And log other members of the dig crew verify mckinsey's version of events including various versions of the nightmare about a dark red thing in the ground Addendum from researcher night Regarding scp-7000 I believe stingray barb spears can be found in some south pacific cultures But from the food examples I was able to locate I understand that the structure is different from our example And the tips tend to be narrower and more fragile than the heavy cartilage point on scp-7000 In the last greek epic epic the telegeo the telogony the telogony The titular character kills his father odysseus with a spears tipped with the barb of a giant stingray This is a rare literary description of a similar weapon and it is involved in the very specific situational fulfillment of prophecy Edward pittit 2015 suggests that the spear of telogonist shares an origin with Cuckoo Lane spear the gay bulga as a hero killing weapon made from the part of a sea beast This relation seems tenuous to me But mythological president would further cement its anomalous properties as a kind of fate or probability altering weapon footnote Interesting we as interestingly we do occasionally see spears that can dispel the wielded violence in irish and british isles mythology See the shale glue The question remains if the more recent skeleton brought scp-7000 to the retrieval site from mycenae three thousand years ago Why does it look like the older remains used it against anomalous entities tens of thousands of years before that? Why return to the same location? Signed research or nine historical anomalies Hmm I can Kind of get why it's lower rated like everything. It's everything seems written. Well I don't have any major concerns for I was written We didn't get hit with the I was afraid when we saw containment procedures again And not special containment procedures. I was getting worried, but the rest of it was fine Yeah, um It's just it's not like it just didn't grab me very much. That's all There's just there's not much to grab but I mean like the the mystery is pretty interesting like I like the idea but like The why return to the same location maybe because you have limited I don't know limited space on earth. I don't know Or is it just probability It's luck right but it has to tie in somehow They actually ever use like No early on they say the probability part is the success rate of killing immortal anomalies Sure, and then it kills the user Or at least injured 92 success rate, right? I mean see like I I think that luck in like probability is a factor of luck But luck is kind of like its own thing. I think they talked about that in um That one we read that had all the dialogue and it was like a It was um tyke Do you remember that one? the uh from It was a greek mythos. They were all like They were all characters from that and then they it was their first day. Yeah, it was their first day. So Exactly. Yes. Yeah, they they talked about how there was the three the three aspects of it It's like there's luck chance and probability or something like I don't know I'm looking at the discussion here because I want to see if uh Percival said anything First attempted writing for the wiki for in a while Uh pointy probability stick To log in as the spear is made from a stingray identified in at least one source as trigon Like the the greek team der Stingray general spear of luge Stored at the point submerged in water So it's It's an object. What does the thing? It's an object. What does the thing? yeah which can work but is Usually also facing a higher level of scrutiny as well That one's gonna be a no vote for me. You can see this being like a series one I know that series seven had a lot of series one kind of Reminiscent. Yeah, I'm neutral on this one. Uh, it is uh It is written well enough when it comes to the spag thankfully And nothing like screams out as bad, but nothing screams out as good right yet man I'm hoping for some some short really powerful entries here That's that's the question is I don't know what this wants me to feel That's the question for when percy sees that we read this Rura is that uh, I want to know what I'm supposed to feel from this because I'm not horrified I'm not I'm a little curious about why it ended up in the same place But I also don't feel like I know there are clues as to why that happened Right Except for the mythology which I don't know the mythology so that doesn't help me I think a lot of times people think that like having something be cool Constitutes and like a type of article that can really get people like oh, that's that's neat You know like it's a well, you know you have to always say there's like five major archetypes of article You can write their scary heartfelt mind-blowing sad and funny And I'm guessing they're going for more like a mind-blowing kind of thing because that's like mystery He's also featured in that kind of archetype, but there's not really a huge mystery here because there's nothing to solve, you know All right, we that was a shorter one so we can skip the ad break and then I want to get us to the Next article so we're not absolutely. Let's do it All right, so this is scp 7000 Every pearls. Oh, look at that scroll bar. Oh boy by bazeers Oh, and there are just collapsibles too content warning Content warning. Oh, no Transphobia and body dysmorphia. All right And Yeah, you are you are right about that Oh boy, okay Well, I think we found our last article for the night Yeah, um, you said there's a skip reader version No, no, this is the that uh, basier skip reader is the person who wrote it. Oh, oh, yes. Yes. Yes. That's also like the readability thing All right, I guess I'll take this one off and we'll probably have to tag back and forth Yep, let me know when you need me Yeah, scp 7000 level four secret containment class esoteric secondary class fall mail disruption class amida risk class notice special containment procedures The following portion has been stricken from the document, but I will read it Dr. Beshear Rashid Is to be assigned to scp 7000 as its personal maintainer with monthly psychological counseling provided to prevent Rashid's exposure Rashid's exposure to scp 7000 anomalous activities Searching for scp 7000 is a top priority When scp 7000 is found special cares to be taken to preserve its vessel This ends the stricken portion Please just leave her alone description scp 7000 is a server farm that claims to Claims to have stricken has developed a consciousness I got a little bit of meta stuff happening The emergence of said consciousness Is generally hypothesized by various foundation scientists throughout the curve due to the various customized anomalous additions from various companies such as rometheus labs transmission of Trismegitus translation and transportation And argus incorporated led to the development of consciousness Nevertheless scp 7000 claims that attempts to shut it down would be impossible Since it palmiturgically gathers power from the site And since the shutdown cost is greater than the startup cost scp 7000 remains active Falling portion is stricken However due to the high electricity cost of a server farm a team dedicated to the development of a better more efficient body for scp 7000 but A team dedicated Entitled. It's a little weird project Clat lawson Unless it's a stricken portion scp 7000 demonstrates the ability to predict the future of various events with 79.9% accuracy It is currently unknown how its prediction mechanisms work or why its prediction always tends to the probabilistically improbable However scp 7000's predictions are Uninterpretable to the majority of foundation scientists Thus dr. Vashir Rashid is assigned to scp 7000 More information about him based on this personnel file. Oh, the personnel flyer right here. Dr. Vashir Rashid profile expanded then in 7000-1 project claw sign I was in oh the uh profile is a collapsible yes I'm reading it right now. Oh, sorry below is an overview of project flower sign Oh, I see I had it already expanded that's what it was. Okay. I was expanding everything to see the Gotcha Dr. Vashir Rashid Agent age 25 biological 32 temporal Sex male education phd and statistics from site 5874 also known as Maynard University or university Foundation work sorry Dr. Vashir Rashid was born in new york and raised in three portlands portlands after accidentally falling through a way He was first discovered by the foundation after being caught experimenting with various transfiguration Thalmaturgic spells in california His cooperation with foundation forces in capturing those responsible for spreading thalmaturgic practices anomalous communities earned him a spot in foundation offices During an anomalous breach in 2010 Rashid was stuck in a temporal loop for seven years causing him to take up a doctorate in statistics to search for a way to break out After seven years of accelerated studying He managed to break out of the loop continuing to study statistics until he graduated with doctorate in statistics Currently he is head of project plowson and is in charge Is in charge with maintaining the speed seven thousand sounds like a mix of um, dr. Elias Reynard or Reynard's and uh I'm probably put to the end place full term of doctorate the phd phd phd phd phd phd phd phd a uh researcher um and a dendem scp 7000-1 project I i'm gonna keep saying this weirdly but i don't know what it is. It's clouson clouson overview Below is an overview of project clouson The full proposal can be found in the foundation archive repository Project clouson scp 7000 and its feature producing for predicting potential in a safer body author project clouson founder and head ashir ashid Abstract scp 7000 is currently contained in a server farm Not only is the high energy consumption and maintenance cost of scp 7000 exacerbated by its anomalous capabilities Its current form is also susceptible to unique threats including but not limited to electrical shorts sabotage malicious actors gaining access to scp 7000 From a turgic spying of the sensitive internals of scp 7000 and other such methods that expose scp 7000 to the anomalous community With scp 7000's high prediction rate. It can be used to undermine foundation access Assets which can cause a b-cast bk class broken veil scenario. I feel like the bk class scenario Thus, I proposed creating a team to create a more efficient method to ensure the safety of scp 7000 The structure to keep scp 7000 In must fulfill three prop purposes to allow scp 7000 to maintain its future predicting Properties at the same level or greater while minimizing energy consumption to reduce traceability of scp 7000 through homotourgic or technological means And to be transportable in case of catastrophic failure or containment breach Not only will these three goals ensure that scp 7000 remains under foundation purview This will ensure that the energy consumption of scp 7000 is reduced and is And its susceptibility to malicious actors be reduced This structure will be designed with the human body and mind since our foundation sites are more specialized to care for humanoid anomalies than nonhuman ones I also proposed placing an and placing the entirety of scp 7000 under purview of Project clauson as the building and maintenance of its structure will require specialized care and engineering Addendum scp 7000-2 Interview with scp 7000 post clauson shortly after instituting project clauson Vashir went to scp 7000 to perform daily maintenance. Lo was recorded interview with scp 7000. So Doesn't say how it did. Okay You want to do um 7000 for this? I'll take it. All right Actually, uh, you you do better accents if you want to do a rashid. I mean, I think that there's probably Sure. Yeah interviewer dr. Vashir Rashid Interview a scp 7000 For a lot conversation with scp 7000 is done through a text to speech and speech detecting module Rashid knocks on the door Scp 7000 are you awake? I am always active dr. Vashir Rashid standard policy We have a lot of anomalies that don't like it when we barge in their rooms noted any updates on the policy Past we're starting to create a better more efficient body for you It will have state of the art cooling with powerful legs that can run in case of a breach Arms that could break a man's head if you need to defend yourself That's nice. I'm happy. Thank you Vashir I feel like this is the overriding. So with an anti-face tracking material over the face It does much of a security measure as an expense measure I don't understand how this is to be read yet. Yeah, and it does seem like it's I don't know if it's emphasis or if it's well in the top. It's definitely an edit. You can tell it's pretty good at it So I'm gonna say that that it's just it's added, but you can probably still say in the same voice I wonder I'm gonna scroll real quick because I wonder if I just want to peek and see if we can figure out. Oh, here we go. Yeah pink is Because like the the woman's like I can handle the heat and I wish I could look in on you Yeah, this is I'm going off the trans metaphor thing Yeah, but the Yeah, it's definitely not said as if it were editing it so that Rashid was saying it like it's just apropos of nothing in the in the interview So should we assume the pink is seven thousand then? It's definitely an influence of seven thousands but whether or not it's a I don't know you you can decide how you want to if you want me to read that I'll I'll read that part or You can because it's sometimes it feels like it's meant to be Like the the one I don't know No, because here's a the next line down. I wish I could look in you Is that a request to teach you how I do my calculations? Oh, definitely not. I'm not allowed to no No, no that the seven thousands responding to it's an interesting to see you do those predictions though Yeah, so It's it's definitely edited and added post post interview But I don't think I we know just yet who who's doing it So I'll I'll read that in a more neutral voice for now. There you go. Yeah, so accent for Rashid. All right, so And I think that's all the things I want for project clausen Anyway, I I have a list of prediction requests from various scientists care to Calculate the odds for each of them Leave me for a few minutes. I'll run these calculations Why do you want no one watching you while you run your predictions? Mostly a privacy and temperature issue I get really hot when I run calculations I think I can handle the heat It's interesting to see you do those predictions though I wish I could look in you Is is that a request to teach you how I do my calculations? Oh, definitely not. I'm not allowed to know about your secrets Is this a personal thing or did the foundation mandate it? A mix of both God knows the supervisors will get on my ass if I inspect your inners in any way shape or form Even if I really want to see them She's predicting what he's wants to say Uh, yes, her thoughts or something. I don't know Ha as if I'll let you do that. Well, I mean I can let you do that, but Okay, there now that was like a Yeah, because he that was said out loud maybe Uh, okay, so do I leave now? Sure. Good luck with your prototypes. I hear your 700 prototype has an 80% chance of succeeding afterward all but 20 of the 100 requested predictions came true scp Addendum scp 7000-3 monthly psychological analysis of dr. Vashir Vashid in accordance with containment measures of scp 7000 and to ensure that any information about scp 7000 that dr. Vashir Vashid divulges remains confidential The psychological reports are to be recorded in this file below is the most recent recent monthly psychological analysis post project clausen inauguration psychologist Blance ardubin Project clausen head psychologist client dr. Vashir Vashid recording recording This is recorded interview with project clausen founder and head researcher dr. Vashir Vashid I mean you don't really need to mention my whole title like i'm in an opera show Who wouldn't be impressed? It's pretty rare for a project founder to remain the project head after three months Besides, this is a recorded talk Oh, uh, sorry Don't be this is that's one of the signs that I look out for whether you are still you Right scp 7000 Some part of me wants to be trusting around it, but my god, it gives me eccentric predictions Did anything happen recently vashid remember you can't let your guard down around these kinds of anomalies True true scp 7000 still does deucephalous things It likes to ask me to leave it alone when it does its predictions Hmm if I may say so myself It is quite understandable that an anomaly like it would want a sense of privacy Seeing as it's already monitored 24-7 I don't know It's quite suspicious to me that along with that behavior. It's offering to teach me how it does predictions Don't get me wrong I would love to peek inside scp 7000's brain and see how it does its predictions How it uses magic to completely bend the laws of the universe around it But come on the way it acts around me Incredibly incredibly suspicious Why would it be suspicious? It's just offering you something Trust me blance. I've been studying scp 7000 for three weeks continuously now It talks to me while i'm busy. It tries to peek in my mind to take my secrets Like one time I was trying to talk about project clauson and it just keeps interrupting me It even calls me with my first name. I mean, who the hell does that the creepiest thing to me though? Is that a try so so hard to sound like a human? Since chill is down my Dr. Rashid calm down. Would you like this? Would you say that you want to be moved out of the project? Well, I mean Don't have shame in admitting that you can't handle the project as large as this Rashid. We all have our limits No, no, I I think I'm just stressed out from all the meetings and files and requirement that I had to pass along recently And yeah, maybe scp 7000 is getting on my nerves too. Don't get me wrong I love working on this project, but being around that thing for so long Would you like to be booked for a mandatory vacation? Yeah, that does sound nice, but what about the project? Dr. Rashid sometimes we need personal time to ourselves to remove ourselves and get more inspiration from the world around us Seeing as how you've been quite anxious this interview. I would recommend you take the vacation time to relax and have fun It's also mandatory Hmm. I gotta take that offer then. When's the vacation? Hopefully as soon as possible if my supervisors allow it Nevertheless, I would recommend assigning more busy work and interaction with the anomaly to your staff instead of stressing over the unimportant stuff I will keep that in mind. Thank you afterward after a short consultation with the members of project fouson Dr. Rashid Rashid took a one month long vacation Addendum 7000-5 List of prototypes created below is a list of prototypes created for scp 7000 List the full list can be attained from dr. Rashid prototype name prototype action and notes scp 7000-1 deep blue Reduce the size of scp 7000 by reducing the amount of servers used Notes failure scp 7000's predictions became less reliable scp 7000-2 skylight Swap the processors of scp 7000 for a more energy efficient model moderate failure temperature Dropped to negative 20 Celsius leading to a condensation buildup and unsafe conditions interesting scp 7000-3 8086 ran scp 7000 on ARM processors No meaningful change reverting to previous status Other Yeah, sure scp 7000-444 Tesla shrinking the space where scp 7000 is stored to reduce energy consumption Failure the temperature during an scp 7000 prediction increased to unsafe levels scp 7000-445 Mandel In turn accidentally installed some non-removable biological energy conversion modules Have you accidentally installed that? Inexplicably a moderate success scp 7000 consumes less electrical electrical energy, although its biological energy needs are increased scp 7000-446 lamar Attempted to a revert of scp 7000-445 catastrophic failure scp 7000 stricken will not do cannot make predictions until it is reinstalled temperature inside scp 7000 rises to unsafe levels scp 7000-447 frank creation of a portable box for scp 7000 to traverse in catastrophic failure each prediction of scp 7000 incurs Fomatergic backlash scp 7000-446 victor Creating a simple a sample portable server farm non-humanoid for scp 7000 catastrophic failure scp 7000 attempts to do predictions and the prototype burns and chars the body extraneous data removed scp 7000-698 heteros Sample body number 331 for scp 7000 non-humanoid same structure as a sarkic server farm catastrophic failure predictions result in implosion scp 7000-699 wendy sample body 332 Fomatergically masked robotic body borrowed from an anderson robotic supplier moderate success scp 7000's prediction In success rate increased by point zero zero one percent scp 7000-700 sofi Sample body number 333 Fomatergically masked flesh golem constructed with help from a sarkic colleague first actual successful prototype scp 7000 prediction success rate increased by one percent energy consumption down by 10 immediate collapse of the golem due to intense heat more tuning required Addendum scp 7000-4 in prompt to interview with scp 7000 by Dr. Vashir Vashid While Vashid was doing a Passover scp 7000 it gave Dr. Vashir Vashid an impromptu interview session interviewer Dr. Vashir Vashid interviewer scp 7000 getting along And sitting here it's kind of boring, you know, I'm glad to have you here Wait going back to your offer You're giving me a summary of your prediction methods Yep, to massively simplify I close my eyes and multiple points of light appear in my peripheral vision Using some simple geometry I map a point that what I feel I want to use to the center of my vision What kind of geometrical maths do you use for your predictions? Oh just the simple stuff some 10-way ANOVA a little bit of linear correlation coefficient calculation and competence testing for the y-intercept and slope of this Regression line maybe even some particle displacement of sine waves in the Wren's factor calculations when being spicy Interesting But these predict equations anyone can predict the future I think so that's why I need your help to see if it actually works And why me specifically? I just want to look around and fiddle with things Most of the scientists feel so cold compared to you besides I've known you for a long time now. You're a very close friend of me Yeah, okay, anything you say scp 7000 want to test your theory out. I have another body prototype ready here Sure. Thank you Vashir. I think you can call me another name though anything you like Uh, what did you say scp 7000? Oh, you want a name? Why why though? Hypothetically if you were to take a name take something related to me, I suppose maybe Raymond I was expecting something Thank you. Anyways, appreciate your help afterward Following portion is stricken from the document. I'll read it anyway Despite the assumption of scp 7000 that any non-anomalous human can learn its methods for predicting the future All employees both anomalous and non-anomalous failed to predict the future with the same certainty as scp 7000 After learning its techniques the sense of stricken portion all employees were given class semnestics after being taught by scp 7000 Addendum scp 7000-6 final prototype testing with scp 7000 Below is the 999 stricken 77th prototype run of scp 7000 This is to be a final prototype run as all prototypes post 700th run were found to be successful and all that remained was tuning the set the container to the needs of the Foundation stricken Rashid of note is that Rashid is unable to keep track of his prototype numbers as he was not personally responsible for most of Tester dr. Rashid Subject scp 7000 Prologue each scp 7000 project close in prototype run starts with a backup of scp 7000 consciousness It is currently the 377th stricken 7th backup of scp 7000 This is dr. Vashir Rashid running the 999th and hopefully final test on scp 7000 Last prototype test. Good luck Rashid. I have a feeling this has a 20 chance to succeed Is that a prediction? No, just a feeling Anyway starting backup of scp 7000 go into hibernation mode scp 7000 Again, is there no other way to back me up? Easier for our backup systems when our machines are not running when we back them up How long will this take? Anywhere from 1 to 24 hours go into hibernation mode scp 7000 The room where scp 7000 is stored starts heating up Running calculations scp 7000 is silent. Can I back out of this trial? No Just this once Scp 7000 my team and I really love your prediction capabilities And it would be a shame of your precognitive abilities are wasted in a body like this When I see your whole being it just makes me sad that you are confined to this big hulking immobile body And it just makes me sad that I can't appreciate your whole build when you're in that state, you know I I guess so but isn't this an untested method you said so yourself I care about you scp 7000 I promise you will wake up as perfect as you can be Will I wake up the same after this even after the transfiguration? You will wake up in your perfect body free of the constraints of this whole server Able to walk and see your own handsome body in the mirror That does sound nice, but you visit me after the operation Why wouldn't I you're the culmination of three years of research Hey fissure Anything to say before you get your perfect body? Thanks for honoring my request Anything you say richard now get some sleep Dr. Rashid after dr. Rashid confirms that sv7000 is in hibernation mode He pulls in the prototype body assigned to sv7000 and orders the various dormitories stationed outside the room To start configuring the transfiguration circle He then grabs the nearest transfiguration book and starts searching for a spell to transfer all of sv7000 inside the prototype After seven minutes preparation the circle is complete Rashid steps out of the circle and recites the incantation. This requires a continuous concentration and recitation for 70 minutes since backlash will occur when the concentration is broken Layline engineers start to divert most foundation laylines in site 3 4 9 5 2 sv7000 10 liters of versioned frog blood is poured in the exact center of sv7000 Rashid continues the incantation after 32 minutes Various implements designed to help predict the future are brought out a crystal ball tarot cards Intrails mirrors and other and various other implements are carefully placed around the pool of blood This procedure takes three minutes Electrical engineers report a slight activity in sv7000. Rashid keeps his concentration Electrical engineers divert more power away from sv7000 At 70 minutes Rashid stops the incantation to personally administer the final touches of the procedure He steps in the circle and rearranges the prototype to be at the center of the implements He picks up each implement embeds it in the body of the golem Then steps out of the circle after 75 minutes electrical engineers report no activity in the server The nearby foundation medical team is uttered in the checked vitality of sv7000 Take it from life science sv7000 is transported out of the server room and cleanup of the general area is commenced Blues pinks and whites float I feel as if myself you could press I feel myself being compressed in the vessel my wide reach shortens my body coalesces and myself shrinks As I can feel my body I momentarily open my eyes my shoulders are too wide my hips are too small Why do my feet look like that? Why does it feel so wrong? The blues pinks and whites start to bleed I drift in and out of consciousness My arms feel too big my legs feel both too small and too big my face feels malformed Myself is ripped from my main body. I pass out scp7000 post transfiguration interview interviewer dr. Vashir Rashid interviewee scp7000 scp7000 please raise your arm if you're conscious silence scp7000 An arm is raised then the hulking body of scp7000 gets up and scans the area It is on a small bed inside a standard size foundation cell in front of it is a full body mirror scp7000 is naked So scp7000 what do you think of this perfect body? I muttered after this one Rashid points at himself smiling silence I'll give you time to appreciate this model. It took me a lot of nights working on this body, you know silence Anyway to the standard post transfiguration survey I will give you this form and you have the whole day to fill it out, okay Just use those things at the end of your arms called your hands to pick up this thing called a pen and A deep gravelly voice comes out of scp7000. I know scp7000 stops it looks at its large hands and shoulders All you do great. I assume you have the required knowledge to fill out the form scp7000 nods No, no, I need all the I need an audible confirmation come come speak scp7000 I do have the requisite knowledge to get to no scp7000 slowly I do have the requisite knowledge to fill out the form Thanks scp7000 turn around now slowly scp7000 turns around slowly with Rashid intensely observing each body part of scp7000 And that's it. Yeah, yeah turn around more. Let me appreciate it more Oh stop turning here. You okay with some pictures being taken? scp7000 nods slowly Rashid sighs How many times will I say this scp7000 do a vocal confirmation? Yes, sir There we go. You should say that more it fits you Rashid pulls out his phone. He takes pictures of scp7000 while scp7000 slowly spins around God these pictures will definitely serve as proof of my work Three years of research three years at the perfect body all on display here Perfect body is his own body Yeah, what a vain dude man. A little weird. Okay Well, thank you for cooperating scp7000. Would you like to show me your body? An alarm goes off Oh, right the meeting with the o-fives. Sorry scp7000. I'll have to leave earlier than I wanted See you later. We still have checkups to do scp7000 stays silent staring at the mirror Thermometers record the scp7000's body temperature raises to 40 degrees celsius although Rashid does not notice this Rashid exits the room. Thermometers record scp7000's temperature dropping the baseline scp7000 collapses on the bed It's stricken. She cries Project clousin scp7000 updates One tracing and scrying through thaumaturgy thaumaturgy minimized due to technological interference Two inability to technologically trace scp7000 due to thaumaturgy interference Three portability four prediction success rate increased by five percent Five energy consumption decreased by 30 status success That's another okay Welcome error unknown user. It's a collapsible Oh Okay Addendum 7000-7 other seven addendum Wow. Oh, you see how much that adds. It's funny scp7000-7 below is a sample log of scp7000 maintenance check Operator dr. Vashir Rashid patient scp7000 scp7000 lies on an opened on an operating table Its eyes scan the premises Contestants fine turn around Turn around. Well lying opened scp7000 turns around Transfiguration lock list still working open your mouth scp7000 opens its mouth where she checks it for any signs of damage Salivary glands still working vocalize something Uh Vocal cords still working Rashid closes the various openings made on scp7000 After the operation it stands up and sits on the chair beside dr. Rashid's table No problem so far Sanchez is quoted outside. I have things to do scp7000 leaves Subject scp7000 request list from Bartholomew watch much cows Watch house when I say dr. Vashir Rashid cc blance argibin Here's the complete list of various requests that scp7000 has made for over four months post project clousin requested items status close sent Gendered closed accepted requests Hobby books sent theories of surplus value sent Beginners guide to asl sent knife denied makeup kit denied Waiting scale sent Astra added astral astradiol Yeah, astradiol. Yeah denied long skirt accepted requests astradiol denied fabric accepted request astradiol accept the request needle sent a asterisk sarcasm books denied pink blanket sent Yeah, I never said that loud before I was like I've read it Uh, since you have requested my personal opinion on the anomaly I would say that its behavior has been stellar since its requests for various objects have been accepted However, as a tendency to be uncooperative at times and be aggressive when making its request Taking all these into account. I would recommend delaying the distribution of its items until better behavior of the anomalies observed Please keep this in mind before you approve giving it more objects The put notice plunted so that's for the perfect piercing. Got it. Plunt plunt syringe. Okay Uh, let's see Bartholomew watch house sp7 000 request recording staff Read sp7 000 behavior and treatment from Dr. Bashir Rashid to plants argibin Project Lawson was marked as a project in maintenance mode So I'm unable to get more funding to fix scp 7 000 unless I can come up with a new plan involving it Please help me gradually convince it to lay off its behavior through positive and negative reinforcement Do you have a copy of the general method your colleagues used to retrain anomalies? Signed dr. Bashid Bashir Rashid project Lawson head founder and lead all right interviewer dr. Bashir Rashid Is it the next one? Yeah, oh, sorry. It it it jumped up. I mean, there we are. Okay Yeah, interviewer dr. Bashir Rashid Interviewing scp 7 000 scp 7 000 enters Rashid's office and sits on the lever so far Oh, hello scp 7 000 want to talk about something maybe more photos Rashid my body feels all wrong. I was hoping there was a way to fix that We all feel like that too scp 7 000 Not only do anomalies like you feel like that normal people like us feel that way too Except for me because my body's perfect apparently I have talked to many a researcher and anomaly and most of the time it's a self-esteem issue that just needs to be boosted I mean that feels right. I haven't been able to talk to others since I spent so much time thinking about how they'll react to me Yeah, this really sounds like a self-esteem issue to me when I was around your age I used to be a lot more non-confrontational too. What with all the pressure I was under to be someone who I was not I read a lot of books. It really helped me with my self-esteem though. Have you read 12 rules for life? It's a fantastic book by a great author that had really helped me out. Oh great Goodness gracious. God damn it. Will it help me out? I believe so. I really like this book since it made me a more assertive and confident person If you're done reading that I have more to recommend Thank you Rashid Speaking of which if you tried attending the daily meetings we do with anomalies like you I know you've heard that we don't allow things like you to mingle with each other But we offer special exceptions to well-behaved ones. I think a direction with other anomalies will really help your self-esteem ICB 7000 looks up at Rashid There are people like me Yeah, there are anomalies like you we keep under foundation purview and I think interacting of them would help you out a lot Would you like me to book a sloth for you? ICB 7000 smiles it nods its head All right, just sign here. Why are they signing documents? It's like they they're gonna like be like, oh you signed a document. You have to do this interviewer Manolo Sanchez scp 7000 body maintenance crew number 984 interviewee scp 7000 scp 7000 walks to the meeting Rashid has recommended movement stilted. However, she bumps into Sanchez She is leaning on the wall wearing a blue pink and white jacket Oh, uh, hello there Oh, it's you. Do you need anything inspect something? Hi, I'm scp 7000 Sanchez spots a book that scp 7000 it's holding. It's a copy of the book of a she gave her Oh god Anything wrong my dear friend Please go away Sanchez grabs scp 7000 she reflexively pulls back and stares at Sanchez with fear Sanchez stares at her eyes wide for a few seconds Oh, sorry didn't know you don't like that Uh, sorry still working on it. I please go away grab 7000. Yeah, I don't I don't know It's all like his unreliable narrator, right because it's all edited. Yeah Hey, hey, no worries. Where do you want to go? You still have time to roam, right? Uh Scp 7000 blushes Sanchez looks at her want to go check out the garden. It's one of my favorite places Sure um Maybe he's referring to Rashid something because he spots the book. I don't know Scp 7000 and Sanchez walk through the canteen the crowd bustling as individuals share stare at both of them Scp 7000 is unaware of this. She tightens her grip on Sanchez Don't like loud spaces Scp 7000 nods her head I know a quieter route follow me Scp 7000 and Sanchez both exit the cafeteria. You pass through the offices then through the mini Acromatic abatement facilities. Okay Sorry for the noise I like it here better Not a crowd person. I guess so Sanchez smirks You don't know much about yourself, huh Reminds me of the old days They exit the mini acromatic abatement facility and finally Enters the exercise facility. That's a little bit of a Tense like a plural shouldn't be plural old days Yeah roaming around deer trying to find out trying out the drugs hanging from the dorms there and maybe even dabbling in some magic Sounds fun Couldn't afford anything but the core classes there anyways one of my only ways to have fun was Each square inch of the campus Oh, I thought you would have the money Just recently afforded to have FFS, you know would have taken the chance if I had the money back then They reached the entrance to the garden You learn a lot here Not much honestly just enough to get by and stay up for the things that make me happy They enter the garden scp 7000 breeds in the scent of grass. She feels the soil beneath her feet And hey, I get to interact with anomalies like you Is it fun to work here? Depending on the work sometimes it's managing tech and spells sometimes is cleaning up after a mess in the labs Mostly it's taking care of lovely people like you scp 7000 blushes Easily pleased Come have my hand your majesty and let me guide you to the wonders of the site 34 95 garden Uh, okay scp 7000 grabbed cinch in his hand. She leads her she leads her in the garden That's a stink beetle My brothers used to throw these at me had to retaliate in a way So I placed one Hercules beetle in his bag should have seen his face when he saw that appearing scp 7000 smiles I interviewer dr. Vashir Rashid interviewee scp 7000 scp 7000 lies naked and opened on a surgery table hooked up to a monitor Sanchez opens her chest while Rashid is inspecting her internals Breathe for me scp 7000 takes a deep breath takes a deep breathe Yup lungs still working Sanchez its eyes, please Sanchez shines a light on scp 7000 eyes still working Rashid Sanchez turn her over Sanchez carefully turns scp 7000 over. Rashid probes scp 7000's back and neck hard checking for bogey skin All good scp 7000, please vocalize an agreement to confirm functionality What? Good enough for me stitch it up, please Sanchez slowly and carefully Carefully restitches scp 7000 after which Sanchez gives her one candy Rashid faces himself away from scp 7000 Again no problem so far. I don't think there's a problem with your body scp 7000. It's perfect as it is Rashid, I'm telling you. I mean it's not a physical problem. My body just feels wrong Can you point to a specific part that bothers you? scp 7000 waves her hand around her body All right taking note that you want a full body inspection next time again Rashid, please. Can you not do anything to fix this? What do you mean? I've been doing my best to keep you working and unless you are more specific in your request I can't help you. Do you know how much checkups you asked me of me in a day already? You do know it makes me tired personally, right? Oh, boohoo. Rashid, all I'm asking is to modify my body to be less bulky. I don't have the words but please help me out here. Rashid quickly turns towards scp 7000. He glares at her Fine, I'll help you out here. What clothing do you want? I'm sure I can find a way. Oh, I want a flowing dress maybe. Something that emphasizes this part as scp 7000 lists off of preferred clothing. Rashid slowly turns away from scp 7000. Uh-huh. Okay. Yep. Anything else? That's all I think. Yeah, okay. Sanchez, please pass this to the supervisors. Now move along. I have more to do. scp 7000 exits from Rashid's office. Dr. Rashid did not, in fact, pass along scp 7000's request to the supervisors as he was responsible for approving or declining said requests. However, scp 7000 is currently unaware of this. After all, she only realizes recently how you think they would have like predictions and stuff, but not so much predicting anything anymore. You see, scp 7000 and Sanchez sits on a bench in the site 3495 garden and that's a common swallowtail butterfly. Aunt used to say the butterflies are messengers of death, but I mostly like them for their colors. His wings are small, huh? Look at the dots at the end of her wings. Oh, she's so small and pretty. That over there is a lavender rose. Careful though, although its thorns have grown on, it's still young. I used to use tissue papers to carefully grab one. Are they poisonous? Not really. Most of them grow in because they need to defend themselves. Oh, what's that? scp 7000 points to a flower shrouded in darkness but still illuminating. That's what we call Ishtar's glow. It gives you anything you want. Really? You have that just sitting around? scp 7000 stands up and quickly goes over to the flower. She closes her eyes and touches the flower. Nothing happens. Wishing for anything? You do need a large spell to make it grant a wish though. scp 7000 reopens her eyes. Oh, Sanchez slowly walks towards scp 7000 and taps her back. Yeah, I've been there. Wish there was an easy way to fix what's wrong with me. I used to have those dreams too. Mostly took a lot of work to get to where I dreamed of when I was young. Come, I'll show you more weird flowers and plants here. Like that one, it's what we call Orion's belt. It's as strong as a diamond but as flexible as a plant. Used to smoke the shit out of that, I mean. And that is most of the plants here, I think. At least the ones I know of. I've never known this place has a garden. Not really hard to see why. You spent most of your time here being operated on. Yet despite all that, the garden clock chimes. It's almost time for you to leave, right? Yeah, scp 7000 stands up. Wait, I have this first. Sanchez hands it a book. It has a cover of a woman attempting to wear a necklace. Hope that helps you. Dr. Bashir Rashid, scp 7000. Interviewing. Oh, scp 7000. Any changes that book helped you out? Yeah, I feel a lot more confident and I think most of my problems were all in my head. That's nice to hear scp 7000. Did you read the books I recommended? Oh, definitely. They were all helpful and willing and helping me find the words I need. Scp 7000 hands a book to Rashid. I didn't recognize this book to you. Where did you get it? Oh, it was recommended to me by one of the people and the meetings you signed me up for. It was very interesting and I was thinking of showing this to you. Oh, I don't like this book. It mostly talks about absolving yourself of personal responsibility for your actions to other people. This book actively destroys people's self-esteem. I have this book in my do not read list. Rashid grabs the book and throws it in the trash. Scp 7000 looks down. What a dick. Oh, sorry to trail off there. I know you've been working hard on yourself and hearing me be negative about a book you were interested in was probably painful. I'm not going to rectify that at all, though. Oh, no, no, I just think that it was a great book. So it really felt like what people treat me as what was like a like, it was like a job I can't quit. That's the problem scp 7000. You're offloading your personal responsibility to the society around you. And this really helps no one, at least of all yourself. I'm sorry. Don't be be angry that anyone else would recommend such a terrible book for your self-esteem. Anything else you want to talk about scp 7000? Nothing, I guess. See you, I suppose. interviewer manolo sanchez stricken portion scp 7000 body maintenance crew number 984 friend interview e scp 7000 scp 7000 runs into the garden her eyes are tired. You okay? Looks like things didn't go well. She threw out the book. Hey, scp 7000. Yeah, sit down. Her tears run down. Hey, now. Hey, now. Don't cry over that. Sanchez holds her two into a hug. She cries harder. You're soiling my jacket with your tears. Come on now. I have more copies of that book. scp 7000 releases herself from Sanchez. Sanchez hands her a handkerchief. Here, here. I'll show you a secret. Hold my hand, Your Majesty. Still wiping her tears from her eyes, she grabs Sanchez and stands up. Sanchez then slowly walks her towards a hidden grove. In the center of the grove is a bell piano. Is, is, it's a piano. Looks can be deceiving. Look at her mouth closely. Sanchez opens the back of the bell piano. Scp 7000 feels the strings ringing as she moves her hands between them. She's pretty, ain't she? Can't hold a tune for her life, but still I will play. Sanchez reattaches the bell's piano. The bell piano is back. It sits down and starts to play his waltz of the flower. That's beautiful. What are you doing there? Come sit here. Sanchez moves to the side. Scp 7000 approaches her and sits on the large chair. Why are you doing this? Why not? Sanchez plays the treble of the waltz as Scp 7000 continues to stare at her beautiful face, touched by the afternoon sun. Sanchez turns towards Scp 7000. There's no fun playing alone. Here, let me teach you how to play. Scp 7000 places her hands on the keyboard. Sanchez sits on my lap. She holds my hand. Sanchez helps Scp 7000 play to the second part of the waltz. It's nice having you here. You don't know anyone else? No, most people in the meeting she recommended mostly keep to themselves or their friends outside the foundation. Hmm, yeah, I can relate to that. Plus, they all become really weird when I said I was born here. Most of the people I manage hate the foundation. Sorry that it bled over to you. I'm used to it. Story of my life after all. Scp 7000 shivers from the cold. Sanchez gives Scp 7000 her jacket. Don't let him get to you. You're a kind and gentle soul. Sanchez plays the base of the third part of the waltz while Scp 7000 plays the treble. Her notes store higher as Sanchez parts quiet down. It doesn't help most of the guards are really cold to me. They don't play attention to me like you do. Huh, am I the only one you talk to? Hmm, Scp 7000 and Sanchez finish playing the waltz. You going now? I still have time. Feel better? Yeah, Sanchez prepares to leave Scp 7000. Wait, can we do one tiny thing? I read this in one of the books I asked for. I want to see if it works. Yeah, sure. Scp 7000 offers her hand to Sanchez. Would you dance with me or would you like to dance with me? Sanchez blushes. Of course. Scp 7000 and Sanchez waltz together. The setting sun's streaming from the window. Subject, regression of Scp 7000's behavior from Dr. Bashir Rashid to clients' argument. I personally believe that Scp 7000 has regressed from its good behavior. When I last met Scp 7000 it was still insistent on its request. Maybe more positive punishment will help. I will continue to discourage its demands of course, although its anomalous socialization tends to make it more aggressive towards non-anomalies. Please send some advice on how to do this positive punishment. Your input is dearly appreciated. Scp 7000 is sleeping on her bed when the door opens and lights suddenly activate. Scp 7000, are you awake? Guards, can you carry it to my office? Wait, what? Two guards carry her to Rashid's office. She first struggles to get out but gives in halfway to the office. Solary Scp 7000, I know you don't like this but it's for your own good. Ah yes, that exact line. Scp 7000 tries to scream. Rashid personally disables Scp 7000's vocal cords. And this is so you don't damage them during the checkup. They're expensive to maintain, you know. Suggest, open it up. Under orders from Rashid, Sanchez personally and slowly inspects each of the body parts of Scp 7000 both anomalous and non-anomalous. Scp 7000 glares at Rashid the whole time. Yep, no problem so far. An alarm from Rashid's sounds. Oh right, I need to update the O5s on its status. Remember to enable its vocal cords, okay? Rashid gives a wink to Sanchez and starts to gather his materials. Sanchez tried to avoid her vocal cords as much as possible while inspecting her. Rashid turns back to look at her. Oh, remember our agreements on chess? I care about you. And I'm trying my best to get the future I want over here. So please think about your future as well. Rashid leaves the operating room. Sanchez freezes but continues operating. I'm sorry. Sanchez tears fall on her face. Since Scp 7000's lack of immigrants were also disabled during the operation, she is unable to cry. After the operation, Sanchez attempted to re-enable her vocal cords, but Sanchez was caught in the act by Rashid. She is now disallowed within three meters of Scp 7000, less ordered by Dr. Rashid. But instead to enable it in the... Right? I'm confused by that. Didn't Rashid tell her to? I think the wink was like... Don't do it, baby. Oh, I see. I thought he was just being a creep. I mean, yeah, that was my first thought too, but in trying to rationalize it. Yeah. It's very, like, comically evil. Yeah, and I mean, it's not like you enable them, but don't really would really make a difference after the operation if they weren't operational. It would be... Yeah, yeah. Except in the next thing... The next report says it was a lie. Oh. Due to a workplace accident, Scp 7000 was rendered unable to speak. It's either that or that was what, like, that it's been filed as an accident by Rashid, like he disabled the vocal cords and then marked it off as a workplace accident. Right? That's what I'm saying, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dr. Rashid, interviewer, Scp 7000. Prologue, due to a workplace accident, Scp 7000 was rendered unable to speak. Since Scp 7000 is proficient in American Sign Language, the translator was present to interpret the words. I'm deeply sorry to hear about the accident, Scp 7000. Scp 7000 does not speak. Translator does not pick up on any words. I hope you don't feel bad after the incident. This must have damaged your self-esteem so much. Scp 7000 does not speak. Translator does not pick up on any words. Anyways, would you like more books to boost your self-esteem? Scp 7000 nods slowly. Lacrimal fluid slowly forms in its eyes. Hmm, noted. Would you like some comfort objects as well? Scp 7000 nods slowly. That's it, I presume? Scp 7000 nods slowly. Alright, see you again, Scp 7000. Scp 7000 looks at Rashid for a long time, then leaves. Afterward, the translator never works. Subject, urgent, Scp 7000 maintenance. From Dr. Rashid Rashid to Menolo Sanchez. It does this without discomfort, but I request the next check-up you implement thermal control or disable its ability to predict entirely using a counterspell. Dealing with Scp 7000 has been very tiring to me personally, and it would be nice if you could make it less aggressive. Please do this after the check-up and maintenance, the meeting with the O5s, and the Project Clawston Anniversary Celebration. Wonder why it requires food? Dr. Rashid Rashid, interviewing, Scp 7000. Scp 7000 is carried into the operating room by two guards, limp and compliant. Rashid straps Scp 7000 down and starts opening it up. Sanchez, check its glyphs, is it selective? Almost dead. God damn it! Okay, fine. Prepare the Transfiguration Circle. Perfect time to renew it too. Rashid runs out to grab the Transification Book, while various assistants and Sanchez prepare the Transfiguration Circle. After seven minutes, preparation is complete. Rashid steps back into the room and recites the spell. This requires continuous concentration and recitation for 70 minutes. But if at five minutes in, Rashid orders staff to bring in five liters of fraught blood. However, at 42 minutes in, stricken, an alarm goes off. Rashid's alarm goes off. The Transfiguration Circle warps and bends. Then space momentarily collapses. Blue, pink, and white float around Scp 7000, each color momentarily blinding her. Rashid sounds the alarm for containment breach. Scp 7000 runs another round of calculations to check her survivability, but because of the backlash, she sees all features that could have been. Tears fall from her eyes. She is unable, no unwilling, perhaps even unaware that she can leave. Sanchez sees her eyes. She rushes into the center of the backlash, somehow passes through the barrier and unlocks the restraints. Whispering to Scp 7000 to run away. Rashid sees this, grabs the nearby tranquilizer, and attempts to shoot Scp 7000. She closes her eyes, accepting her fate. After a second, she opens her eyes. Sanchez is lying asleep. Her eyes are filled with hope. She stands up, closes Sanchez's eyes, and rams into the barrier separating her from Rashid. Rashid quickly runs towards the door and unlocks it, keeping it open as cracks begin to form on the floor. Rashid panics as no MTF agent arrives. The barrier shatters, and Scp 7000 runs towards the exit. Rashid dodges from Scp 7000 and cures behind the door. Whispering to Dr. Rashid, unbeknownst to him, the transfiguration circle broke to an unknown hostile geo-wise involvement met before. This led to the monumental backlash. Under the cover of the backlash, Scp 7000 was then kidnapped, and it's whereabouts are currently unknown. Scp 7000 runs down the hallway, the alarms blaring. It's stricken. She goes to her cell and grabs the jacket. She stomps of the MTF agents being heard around the corner. She rushes towards the corner and closes her eyes. She can feel each particle, each atom. They have a position and momentum, and they are traveling in a space-time. At carry one here, partially integrate and transform there, each bullet traveling through the air, each MTF's agent's hand position. Their spouses, their sons, the food they ate, the childhood they had. She calculates them all. Bullets shave off her body, but she doesn't care. But she turns around and uses the cloth. She grabs from a nearby ring to cover her face, to protect herself from the mustard gas. Mustard gas, an interesting choice. She can see the exit. It's right there. By now, the agents are all but confused. However, each of them still do their job. They bring out tasers, tranquilizers, and anti-tank rifles. Yet, just like before, she dodges them all. One anti-tank bullet blasts her arms. She doesn't care. It was too big anyway. One railgun eviscerates her fingers. She doesn't care. It wasn't what she wanted anyway. One tiny needle destroys a part of the jacket, slowly unraveling it. She screams and runs faster towards the exit. It slowly closes as the loudest alarm she's ever heard blares. With Dr. Rashid's quick thinking, the containment breach alarm was sounded. Although Dr. Rashid duperly tried to prevent the hostile GOI agents from escaping, he was outnumbered and overpowered by the hostile GOI agents who have managed to incapacitate him and disable the cameras before agents can be deployed to the scene. Unfortunately, the hostile GOI, carrying SCP-7000, managed to escape. But right at the nick of time, I cross the exit. My arms are destroyed. I keep running. My calculations have always had an electrified fence around this point. Yet this time it wasn't activated. I grit my teeth and climb on the fence. They have the electric fence buzzes. It was just lay on schedule. I smell burned meat. I keep climbing. The spiders, the snipers, the snipers spotted me. They're now shooting disintegration bullets. Nice. I'm on top of the fence. Feet charred, arms numb. I drop down and try to run. My legs don't move. Bullets are coming on all sides. I react and use my dead legs and arm to block them. Each bullet destroys a chunk of my leg and arm as I crawl away from the building. The stars are pretty. Dianysus smiles on me from up high. I am leaking something. I can still see flashes, flashlights of the agent searching for me. One agent steps on the stump where I was hiding. I close my eyes and pray to whatever is out there to save me. They don't notice me. I hear their footsteps fading away. Tears flow down my cheeks. Tonight I sleep peacefully. You know what Dianysus is? Interesting. Dianysus hasn't come up any other time in this article, so I'm confused. Yeah. Due to the special circumstances of SCP-7000's creation, normal tracking methods are unavailable, thus an HRT squad. Okay, I see that. HRT Sigma-41 cargo chasers under Dr. Rashid is made to ensure that SCP-7000 isn't recovered safely. During the special investigation, Manila Sanchez attempts to hand the anomaly over to the hostile GOI were revealed. In light of this revelation, she has to be given unpaid leave for a year and stripped of her benefits. In addition, Dr. Rashid, project founder and head of SCP-7000, were found to be engaging in personal activities using Foundation resources. Due to this incident, he has to be given pay fee for five months. However, this can be reduced to volunteer work, as he has demonstrated good behavior with SCP-7000 of. Nalgan flesh sculptors are a dime a dozen. Nalgan flesh sculptors that hate the Foundation are willing to do flesh sculpting, despite them, are as many as fish in the sea. Each of them gave me a body part. Each of them took care of me and made me feel loved. Mechanite technomancers taught me how to read and manage my own body. Serpent's hand magicians taught me how to cast. Wanderer's library taught me how to be me. I cook up a plant. I bide my time. Fake my identities. I become a researcher. I plan an escape. I know this change is nothing. I've ran the calculations. But I also know calculations aren't everything. After all, there was a future out there where I am not who I am. I would like to believe that I am who I am, not because of some fluke, but because I choose to do these things. Thank you, Sanchez. Fuck you, Rashid. Hope you're rotten hell. And SCP push SCP-7000.SCP. Error file SCP-7000.SCP by Dr. Rashid PhD exists. Would you like to add your own edits to it? Yes. Please enter your name. Celeste, SCP-7000. Complicated article. So, I am immediately brought to reference two articles when I think of this one. Right. I think of SCP-2721, the- Yes. Kinch? Yes, of course. And I adore that article. Yeah, it's a fantastic article. Absolutely. And I think, and then I think of like 6113, like we have a lot of articles that handle trans issues. Yeah, like the whole allegory. And I think this one falls a little flat for me for beings, I don't want to say too blatant because I'm fine with blatant. I feel like some of the narrative tropes that are used are kind of hamfisted. The Rashid is very, very comically evil. Like when he accidentally says like, I instead of we, and like the little things that just like, it stacks up, you know. It's a lot of little things. Yeah, that's what it is. Because for Rashid, I immediately go to 4311. And 4311 is this amazing article on the Foundation's containment procedures for this anomaly is literally gaslight it into containment. Right. And it's horrific to read. It's really just. Oh, I'm not going to read that then. I will take your word for it. But that's those sorts of things upset me. Yeah, it is a first person. The researcher is talking to you and is gaslighting you into staying contained because it's messed up. It is. But I suggest it if you can survive it because that is a. I'll have to wait till I'm in a really good headspace for it. Yeah. I'm also talking to the chat on that one. But those two articles give me this like combo of putting this together. Right. But it's, I think it's just subtlety. I think it's just like, there's a lot of things happening here that are just right on the surface. And I mean, that was Jordan Peterson's book. Right. I think, yeah, I'm pretty sure it was. Yeah. And then I wonder what the necklace book was because if the first one was a reference, I'm hoping the second one was. Yeah, I didn't recognize it because they only described it via the cover. I remember correctly. The way the edits, the way the pink edits in most of the document go. I wonder. So these seem like they are. They're article revisions. They're revisions. It's kind of like if you edit an article and you check the history, it shows you like if they had done the words that were crossed out were red and then the replacement words were green, I would have gotten that immediately. Because like I'm going back to the first interview and it feels like I guess what's happened and I finally got it down near the end is it looks like Rashid is just omitting a lot of the data. Yeah, that's what it is. He literally said that we're cut out of the log and she's reinserting them. Right. So he is just a real, real piece of shit. I mean, we knew that already, but like it just takes it to another level because like, you know, the comical, like the comical bad kindness of him being like, Oh, I gave you the perfect body. It's the same as mine. That's just like he says later as well. He's like, everyone's, you know, finds something about the body. I don't like even I did. So is it perfect or not? You know, it's ambitious. Yeah. Um, I need to check. And also the pronouns. I mean, it's kind of ironic, but the pronouns kind of fluctuated in a way that I believe that was an accident. Like there's a few times where the red, we know that that's that Celeste. However, there's a few times where Celeste refers to herself as an it. I was like, Well, it got me as when Celeste referred to Rashid as she a couple of times. Um, no, uh, yeah. Yeah, I know. I was like, I was confused about that too. I thought maybe like I just hadn't seen, like maybe I just like assumed like, I don't know. But like it turns out that no, yeah, it was just an accident. So yeah, that's, you know, that's definitely an issue there. Like, I don't think the dynamic between Sanchez and 7,000 is as like romantic as it should be, because it is like a weird power dynamic still. Like there's still an employee and an anomaly. You know, it's like, you know, it's, it's still kind of kind of iffy in terms of if that should be. I know in the chat, some part of this article really got me. I am certain that if I weren't a cis white guy, there would be things in here like I would resonate with a little more. And so that's why I'm like very cautious with how I'm like, Oh, for sure. I know like I totally get like the bias Morpheus stuff. That was very strong. Like, and like I know that obviously, obviously there's a lot of creepy dudes out there. Yeah. For sure. And like people like Rashid exist. I get that. It's, I think it's about execution. That's all. Also, I don't know why the, they needed to like give SB 7,000 like a super human body with like hands that could break a man, like a crush a man's hand if she wanted to. And like, like, why would they give that? It's a foundation, you know, and like in terms of how they operate, is that something that they would do is just give them as much possible opportunity. I mean honestly, I would give you if Rashid is such an arrogant prick Yeah. And thinks he's got the perfect body and he's giving this a robot. Is he trying to do like a million dollar man type thing?
