 Tiktok, Billif, everything's on, we are rolling, calling all foundation staff, calling all foundation staff, this is Dr. Theron Sherman. Let us know in the chat if you read us. If you're over on the Tiktok, head to the YouTube, that's where you're going to see the much better graphics as well as Billif and I's handsome faces. We are digitizing our signals, we are reticulating splines. If you're over on the YouTube, like you are supposed to be following orders, make sure you like and share and subscribe and all that YouTube business using your encrypted foundation issued YouTube account. If you use your civilian account and threaten the integrity of the veil, we will know that you messed up, Steve. With that out of the way, let us take it to the live show. Hey there foundation staff, this is Dr. Theron Sherman, but you can call me Sherman and my wonderful associate, Billif, welcome to another anomalous broadcast from site 42. Part 11 or part 10.9, I'm not sure. Part 11, if we don't count the partials from last week, which would make it part 13, welcome to 11 streams of reading SCP-7 con entries. At least they didn't, you know, they didn't keep getting longer like they did for the first five. Well, we're not to the end yet, and the later they are in posting order, that's the most likely that they took the longest to write. Or they rushed it and was the shortest, who knows. You are an optimist and I respect that about you, my friend. I don't know why, I don't know why. Not after everything we've gone through, no. But why are we doing such a ridiculous task? It is of course, because right before the contest, our dear friend Dr. Sumerian was threatened and nearby taken out of this existence by a tree. It's unfortunate. We're still working on getting all the trees out of the way. I have good news. We have made progress, but we are not there yet. Not by a long shot. They keep growing. I don't know what happens. They keep coming back. It is 100% full, and it is because we are epic as a Site 42 and greater SCP community. But we do not stop at 100%. We give 100% and we give 150%. We do what we can to support our artists. So it's also going to take a lot more crisp, clean $100 bills to insulate the ceiling hole properly. Like, we could use ones, but come on, $100 are 100 times more insulating. That is how math works. That is how math works. And you know what? We want to hit that, thematically speaking, we want to hit 777% our goal. That would be perfect. Let's try for that, everyone. 777%. I like it. Perfect plan for 7Con. So with that in mind, let us make our way to the first of our luck-themed articles for the day. And which one is that? I don't remember. We are currently opening up SCP-7123 by Ross Boss Arts. Oh, right, yes, 7123. And that is, once I get the list up. Here we are. 712. I see a plus 12, so I worry for them. But I also see like this really dope theme, and it makes me happy. The sounds nice. It sounds unique. The name is Dice with Death. 7123, you said, right? That's right. Yep, Dice with Death. And I also like, I already see Mobile Task Force name down here, Dantz-McCobb, and that makes me, I'm digging the aesthetics here. I'm ready. The font is a little bit serif heavy for my tastes, but- That's right. All right, from the top, let's get this show on the road. Oh, wait, this is not the right size. I gotta resize. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. Smaller. There now we can see everything. Perfect. Little bigger. Little bigger. Nope, that's moving it. I am very picky. I apologize, Site 42 staff. The aesthetics need to be perfect. Item number, SCP-7123. Pictured, an instance of SCP-7123-A. Object class, Keter. Special containment procedures. Due to the nature of SCP-27123, containment methods are primarily focused on tracking and mitigating knowledge of its effects. Mobile Task Force Theta-30, codename Dantz-McCobb, are assigned to this task until further notice. Any recovered SCP-7123-A instances are to be stored at Site 23 for further testing. Description, SCP-7123 is a phenomenon that occurs seemingly at random and in nearly every populated area on the planet. Footnote. Comprised of SCP-7123-A and SCP-7123-B. To date, over two digits redacted 00 manifestations have occurred since initial discovery. Date, redacted month Day 16, 19 redacted last two digits of year with evidence suggesting prior manifestations occurring at least as early as 13 redacted two years. The redacted are very esoteric in this one I can already tell. Although I'm certain that redaction there has to be an over 9000 joke, is that what that is, am I right? It could be. I see it, yeah, that makes sense to me. Author, if you're here, Ross Bossart, let me know if it's over 9000, I'm very interested. Evidence of an SCP-7123 event begins with the manifestation of an instance of SCP-7123-A. SCP-7123-A instances are typically various forms of board game, dice, or game of chance. Common instances include chessboards, footnote, 790 recorded instances, roulette wheels, footnote, 500 recorded instances, and shohan, footnote, a traditional Japanese dice game, 490 recorded instances. I'm glad they decided that they would like, you know, tell us about that one. Very nice of them. While active, SCP-7123-A instances are exceedingly resilient to conventional forms of damage, capable of resisting heat in excess of 6,000 degrees Kelvin, cold approaching absolute zero, crush force in excess of 3,000 psi, and the explosive force of 1,000 pounds tritonal explosive. Conversely, inner instances can be disposed of to the same degree of effectiveness as their non-anomalous counterparts. When an individual makes physical contact with an active-A instance, SCP-7123-B will become visible to that individual. There are currently no known means to capture SCP-7123-B on cameras or any form of recording device, and the entity does not appear on x-ray, thermal, or other visual means of detection. However, its actions in baseline reality are detected by motion sensors. Footnote. Albeit only movement of objects, individuals, or changes in air pressure in the wake of its movements. Additionally, visual records are able to be procured by affected individuals drawing imagery of SCP-7123-B. As of yet, it is currently unclear if SCP-7123-B is a singular entity or near-identical individual entities that manifest with each SCP-7123 event. However, every surviving account or foundation-conducted interview describes the same appearance, a tall, thin figure beneath a black or dark robe obscuring any distinguishing features if any exist, with only a pair of slender hands in thin black gloves seen outside of the cloak. Upon becoming visible to an affected individual, SCP-7123-B will gesture to the SCP-7123-A instance before them, beckoning the subject to play the game. SCP-7123-B will also partake in the game, and unless the subject steps away or refuses to play, the game will continue until either side loses or forfeits. If the subject loses, they will suffer an immediate heart attack causing their death. To date, there have been no known victories against SCP-7123-B. If an affected individual refuses to partake in the game, no physical harm will come to them. However, SCP-7123-B will remain visible to the subject. This effect will not relent until either the subject agrees to play the game or they convince another individual to touch the SCP-7123-J instance. Doing so will, quote, pass on, end quote, the effect to that new individual, leaving the original target entirely unaffected. Discovery Log SCP-7123 first became known to the foundation on redacted date, 16th, following a police report in redacted London. Two civilians, henceforth referred to as Civilian A and Civilian B for the sake of clarity, had apparently seen, quote, death himself, end quote, after noticing a previously unseen deck of cards on their kitchen table. Civilian A had touched the cards first and then prompted Civilian B to do the same. Both were too scared to initiate the game further and contacted local authorities. The detections embedded within the metropolitan area police force ensured the redaction of the report and the amnesicization of all affected individuals. While the still active SCP-7123-A instance was successfully retrieved and sent to Site-23 for analysis, addendum SCP-7000.1 need to fix that. Upon discovery that active SCP-7123-A instances can be safely transported by mobile task force units located via the detection of hotspots and abnormal hume levels emitted by active instances. Standard operating procedure was altered to reflect this. Henceforth, mobile task force Theta-30 are to be dispatched to any new SCP-7123 events detected by the Foundation for the primary purpose of obtaining active SCP-7123-A instances so as to perform further testing with SCP-7123-B. Test log SCP-7123-1 forward D-1971-991 was sent into Chamber 7123-16 containing an active SCP-7123-A instance so as to properly record its effects. D-1971-991 was also given a piece of paper and HB pencil so as to provide a visual record of SCP-7123-B. Dr. Edward Block, Senior Researcher of SCP-7123, is present over Intercom during this test. Begin log 1200 hours 47 minutes, July 13th 2019 D-class Dr. Block Do we ever talk to the entity? Doesn't look like it. So you want the D-class or the doctor? I'll take the D-class just to avoid having to say my own name. Perfect. You chose wisely. Yeah. Where did my window go? I was resizing my windows. Perfect. Alright. I'm good. D-17... See, I already messed up. You chose wisely. D-1971-991 please approach the objects on the table. The SCP-7123-A instance is a 2,000-piece puzzle and small sand hourglass. Doc, are you kidding me with this? You really brought me out here to play a puzzle? What is this? My birthday? D-1971-991 please approach the objects at the table and sit down. If you cannot comply you'll be forcibly returned to your quarters. Fine. Fine. Whatever. You're the boss, Doc. D-1791-991 approaches the table provided chair. Please touch one of the puzzle pieces or the hourglass. D-1971-991 size and rest one finger against the top of the hourglass. He instantly pulls back due to the presumed manifestation of SCP-7123-B. Holy sh... What the fuck is that thing? Please describe what it is you're seeing. Speaking clearly. You're telling me you aren't seeing this. Are you fucking blind? Due to the nature of the anomaly only you are capable to see the entity in front of you. You may recall that we provided you with drawing materials. Please draw what it is you see while describing it for the microphone. Fuck no. Let me out of here before that thing does anything to me. D-1971-991 may I remind you that you are in the presence of armed foundation officers who can on my order forcibly restrain you and leave you in the presence of SCP-7123-B until you cooperate. Now, can you please do what is asked of you? Fine. Whatever. D-17... D-1971-991 retrieves the paper and pencil from the provided satchel and begins to draw an approximation of SCP-7123-B. Okay, so honestly, best way I can describe this thing is, well, the Grim Reaper. I know that sounds stupid saying it. Long black robes, tall, thin, the whole nine yards. That's quite all right. Whatever frame of reference that makes it easiest for you to describe it to us are there any other distinguishing features of note? Only its hands, or rather, what's covering them. It's got these thin black gloves on. I can't quite tell if those are full hands under them or something else. Very well. When you are done with the sketch, please hand it to one of the guards present. D-1971-991 continues drawing for approximately two minutes before setting down the pencil and handing the sheet of paper to the nearest guard. Okay, so now what? Am I free to go? Not quite yet. If you would please attempt to finish the puzzle in front of you as quickly as possible. D-1971-991 glances at the hourglass next to the puzzle. What about this? We believe that that will be taken care of for you. Shortly after Dr. Block finishes speaking, the hourglass is lifted off the ground, twisted in place upside down. Back onto the table. We assume that SCP-7123-B hearing the conversation initiated the quote game. Oh shit. Fuck, fuck, fuck. I guess I'll start with the corner. D-1971-991 picks up the bottom left corner piece of the puzzle and places it on the provided checkerboard mat and begins frantically looking for adjoining pieces. Extraneous data removed. Before D-1971-991 can place the final piece of the puzzle, the last grains of sand in the hourglass drop to the bottom. Oh shit. I didn't finish in time. What happens now? Do I have to start again? At this point, D-1971-991 begins convulsing and collapses onto the floor of the test chamber. The guards present attempt to provide medical support, but he is declared dead of a heart attack. His body is removed from the conchamber. And log closing statement. Once it was determined that no further manifestations of SCP-7123-B could occur from the SCP-7123-A instance, both it and the drawing of D-B were recovered from the test chamber for further analysis. Pictured, artist depiction of SCP-7123-B drawn by D-1971-991 Jump scare. How charming. Addendum SCP-7123-2 A lack of verbal response from SCP-7123-B either as determined by D-1971-991 or picked up on any audio devices was noted by researcher Logan. Researcher Logan requests an interview with SCP-7123-B so as to devise a means to potentially communicate with it and discover more about SCP-7123 as a whole. Granted. Interview log, SCP-7123.1 Interviewed, SCP-7123-B Interviewer, Researcher Logan. Forward, in an attempt to communicate with SCP-7123-B Researcher Logan requests that a deck of tarot cards to be brought along with them to the attempted interview. Granted. A still active SCP-7123-A instance Footnote, a set of wooden dominoes was placed on the center table of interview room D within site 23. Begin log, 2100 hours, 35 minutes. September 24th, 2019 Researcher Logan places his hand on the SCP-7123-A instance allowing him to perceive SCP-7123-B. You want to take the reaper? Let's do it. Hello, SCP-7123-B. This may seem rather unorthodox, given your history, but I was hoping that now we are able to perceive one another. Perhaps we can properly communicate with one another. I am Researcher Logan and speaking to you today as part of the SCP Foundation. Is there anything you are able to tell us about yourself? Unresponsive. I was like, did you turn your camera off to be unresponsive? That's method, man. Yeah, you know how it is. Ah, yes. Well, I didn't anticipate there'd be a lack of response on your part, and so I brought a different means with which to communicate, one you'd perhaps find more preferable. Researcher Logan pulls the major arcana tarot deck from out of his lab coat pocket and places it on the table. The chair opposite Researcher Logan shifts slightly, leading SCP-7123-B has noticed the cards. The cards are then seen leaving the Researcher's hand and seemingly floating. It is presumed that SCP-7123-B has taken the deck from him and is inspecting each card. Ah, excellent. I'm glad they take your interest. I trust they will be satisfactory for the purposes I've asked. Motion sensors detect a slight shift in air pressure around the approximate location of SCP-7123-B's head. It is presumed, coupled with later footage, that this was a nod. What is the purpose of this? What is the purpose of the SCP-7123-A instances? Researcher Logan gestures the SCP-7123-A instance still present on the table. SCP-7123-B picks a card from the deck and turns it over. Justice, but reversed. I see. Something we aren't fully meant to know. I do have to press for more questions if possible. Where do you come from? SCP-7123-B turns over the next card. This is a gripping voice acting performance billet. You are really nailing this. I don't know what you want from me. I couldn't want anything more your spectacular. A tour de force. The next card is turned over. The star. You are from a higher power. You follow a celestial mandate, but I wonder how. I wonder now. What is your purpose? SCP-7123-B turns over the next card. The tower. Upheaval. Karmic justice. Destruction. Long pause. Who are you? Long pause. SCP-7123-B turns over the next card. Researcher Logan. Death. At the reveal of this final card, Researcher Logan collapsed to the floor and was pronounced dead of a heart attack by on-site medical staff. End log. Closing statement. Following the death of Researcher Logan, Dr. Black has called that all staff testing with SCP-7123-B suspended until further notice granted. Kind of a one-trick pony, huh? He's got one move, but he plays it. Does it well, yeah. Addendum SCP-7123.3. On March 22nd, 2020, Dr. Black requested access to the active SCP-7123-A instance specifically on a chessboard instance. Due to his history with the game, provisional requests was granted on the condition that Dr. Black appointed his successor on the project in the event of his death, to which he agreed. Test log SCP-7123-2. Forward. Dr. Black requested to enter the chamber alone, albeit overseeing the observation desk by acting senior researcher Dr. Arts. Begin log 700 hours 39 minutes, March 23rd, 2020. Dr. Black enters the test chamber alone, as requested. The voice of Dr. Arts comes through on the intercom. Hey, Dr. Arts. Yeah. Thank you. Dr. Black, can you hear me? Just checking all systems are running properly. Yes, thank you, Charles. You don't have to worry. I have everything under control. Dr. Black sits down at the closest provided chair. Across from him, a still active SCP-7123-A instance, a chessboard, as requested by Dr. Black. I promise you, Theodore. You won't have died for nothing. Dr. Black touches the nearest chess piece and raises his head to meet the presumed gaze of SCP-7123-B. Ah, hello. I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting face to face. Though I must say, first impressions aren't promising. What with my friend you murdered. But I know how this ends. How it must end. I shall do everything in my power to see to it you never take another soul. That besides... Dr. Black picks up a pawn. Peace on his side of the board. Here's to a clean game. Hmm? Dr. Black moves his pawn to E4. In response, SCP-7123-B moves the pawn parallel to Dr. Black's placing it at E5. Dr. Black moves one of his knights to F3. SCP-7123-B moves another pawn, this time to D6. Dr. Black pauses for a moment looking at SCP-7123-B and then at the pawn in his hand. Dr. Black then moves that pawn two squares forward to D4. SCP-7123-B responds by moving a bishop to G4. Extranious data removed. Dr. Black moves his queen to D4 putting SCP-7123-B in checkmate. I... I won! Holy shit, I won! You... Oh my god! You lucky son of a bitch! The SCP-7123-A instance disappears, having seemingly de-manifested. The chair where SCP-7123-B clatters to the floor. According to Dr. Black, this was SCP-7123-B rising from his seat and then de-manifesting in front of him. On-site medical staff enter the rest test chamber to escort Dr. Black from it and are seen administering a mild sedative to calm his high stress levels. End log closing statement. Due to the as-yet unclear results of this test, along with all active SCP-7123-A instances in the custody of the Foundation becoming inert, it has been deemed acceptable to re-classify SCP-7123 as pending outdated see addendum SCP-7123-4 addendum SCP-7123-4 Approximately two months after that after test 7123-2 Dr. Block collapsed in his office in a manner identical to all other victims of SCP-7123-B. Upon recovery of the body, medical staff also found a note left on Dr. Block's desk. You cannot cheat death forever. No one escapes me. Analysis of both the handwriting and the parchment used in the note are currently inconclusive. Hmm. I like the idea of, like, playing dice with death. That's so cool. You know, it's obviously a bit taken very literally in this sense. I feel like maybe you should have gone either way. Either you describe each move and, like, maybe have, like, the diagrams, because it's leaving a lot up to, like, the person that might not know anything about chess to just kind of, like, think where the moves are. But if maybe you had some pictures or something and it was, like, a little bit more moment by moment, maybe it would have been more enticing there at the end. Because, like, having it skip right to the checkmate was kind of anti-climactic. I am ill. So I have, like, literal, like, bookmarks of where I have my thoughts change on this article as my feelings evolved on it. To your point, if the chess moves in the beginning where we get to see them are, like, the opening gambit of some very interesting well-played championship game, I might forgive that a little. Yeah. But I do agree that cutting to the finish of what is supposed to be a very tense scene robs it of its power a little bit. Yeah, and even just having a little bit at the end where they're, like, it's coming to, you know, to a conclusion that would have made it seem less abrupt. It seemed to do the puzzle, like, you know, you start to the corner piece and then it just cuts to the time running out. If you went kind of moment by moment, you saw, like, D-Class getting more frantic trying to complete this puzzle. I don't know. Possibly. This would be one where if you were doing in film you could do it with montages and make it very, like, stressful. Yes, exactly. A lot of cuts. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, limitation of the medium, I guess. Yeah. In the beginning of this I was really enjoying it because even in some of its, like, very simplistic and cliche moves, like the weird redactions, it really felt like a decent series one article for a bit. Sure. And then it started to go a little long, both the D-Class name and the article in general. Then we got to, like, the revenge chess match and I was back in and then disappointed by it being cut short. Mm-hmm. But then seeing him win, I was hoping for, like, I immediately first went to what if this is the cause of end of death. And that would be a really fun tie-in with the second canon. That would have been really cool, yeah. And it would have been either cliche or a really good tie-in. That's on the eyes of the holder, I would have liked it. Yeah. I don't like death coming for him two months later, like a sore loser. Yeah. That ending disappoints me personally. I would have rather be like the Santa Claus with Tim Allen where he beats death than it has to become the Grim Reaper. I also, that's the first one I thought, yes, he becomes death. Yeah. I agree though, yeah, having him come, it was a little bit like, oh, it kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I was like, oh well. I guess that was all for nothing. Overall, for what this is, yeah. It is done within my like positive feelings overall. Yeah, I mean, yeah. I wouldn't mind if they like made some changes though. Yes, I agree with that sentiment for sure. Yeah, definitely. I like their cute little death drawing. He's adorable. Tonally as little, I was like, is this supposed to be spooky? Tonally it's quaint. Yeah, it's good. The picture kind of feels a little bit not what I would imagine to find on the top picture, the file picture at the dice. Yeah, looking at it closer kind of gives me the vibe that it's like not what you'd see on a case file like that. Yeah, it's actually a great photo, but I don't feel like it matches the article compared to like anything else. Yeah, but yeah, good photo in general. Yeah. Oh, okay. One thing I do have to bring up is the use of imperial units. Oh, do they they use a 1,000 pound. 1,000 pound and pounds per square inch per square inch. You know, it's not exactly the most clinical use metric units. Kelvin's fine, use Kelvin, that's cool. I've never seen using imperial units go down well in an article. No, typically we do not let imperial units pass most of the time. They get changed pretty quickly. And like the longer number, some of these like for example, the 2,000 piece jigsaw puzzle, you can just put the word there, you can put 2,000 and it looks a little bit better in my opinion anyway. But yeah. Author, you got me like bare minimum of feels for your upvote, but I agree with Billeth, a lot of this could use a little cleaning up and I hope you do it. Yeah, a little bit of TLC. Next one. Next one on to the next one. That brings us to 7,085 by Radioactive Rads. Nice. Let's see. Pluck, it's called. It's just called luck. Pluck, P-L-U-C-K. Pluck, okay. Pluck, it's a pluck. And this is modestly long. There's a couple of collapsibles, but they're not particularly large collapsibles. That's kind of interesting. All right. Take it away. SCP-7085 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-7085 is to be contained in Area 05 inside a containment cell fitted with concrete and shock absorbent padding. Personnel equipped with writable material are to be present in front of SCP-7085 at all times for the retrieval of new emitted information. Information recovered from SCP-7085 is to be cataloged and held in containment until deliberations can be made on its status. And the image caption entrance to SCP-7085's location. Ooh, hovers it, nice. Due to its size, SCP-7085-A is to be contained inside a customized humanoid containment cell. They are to be secured in chains strengthened with occult smithing around their torso and limbs for excessive movement and escape. Due to their cooperation, however, they are allowed minimal recreational privileges. Description SCP-7085 is a sphere with a radius of 0.5 meters composed of unknown metallic and non-metallic substances. SCP-7085 maintains permanent levitation 2 meters above the ground and emits an intense light that radiates from its center. Its shape periodically changes in the form of self-compression looking at the appearance of a liquid. SCP-7085 emits information that is relayed through the manipulation of the environment and human functions. The information comes in a array of forms such as letters written in different rhyming schemes, mechanical devices being moved in unnatural positions to produce sounds that would normally be unable to make, singing birds that will talk in high-pitched voices and in dreams that are recorded to have constant humming noise in the background. Since its discovery in 1851, SCP-7085's information has consisted of indecipherable messages, illustrations and descriptions of known and unknown flora and fauna, previously unknown knowledge of anomalies in foundation containment or control, and instructions to perform and utilize occult practices, fall meturgy, and sciences of mainstream and anomalous branches. To date, SCP-7085's information has only been delivered to foundation personnel who have employed by the foundation for at least seven years and are part of the higher echelons within the organization. Prior to its physical discovery, SCP-7085 was thought to only exist as emitted information. However, due to the chance of SCP-7085 being discovered by non-foundation personnel, the administrator at the time, Luther Xander, designated an operational force to discover its origins. Three days after this declaration, SCP-7085 emitted the coordinates to its location. In 1852, an expedition force led by the administrator traveled to the location to discern the nature of SCP-7085. 1852. Time ago. Excerpt of personnel redacted redacted's accounts of the SCP-7085 expedition force. It was a grueling two weeks. The administrator had us traveling in circles for days and made us backtrack our path numerous times just to avoid detection. Some of us were beginning to think he'd gone mad, but no matter how hard it got, we still followed him. As we suffered, he did as well, and it worked. When we finally got there, we were all accounted for. Not a single word, not a single one of us had even a scratch to complain about. But when looking back at that moment, I do not know how we knew we were at our destination. It was like all of us were just simultaneously, it was like all of us just simultaneously knew on instinct that we were there. When we went to the entrance, the pathway was cut off by mist and fog. We were too scared to go any further. Most of us didn't even know why we were there, and those who did were most frightened. But the administrator turned around and told us those who wanted to stay will not face any repercussions. He said it sincerely, without coiness or disappointment. After that, even if any of us were still scared, no one was going to let him go in there alone. Not after what he put us through in that journey. If anything was going to kill him, it'd be us. Let me resize this a quick, there we go. Past the fog was a cave opening on the side of the mountain. Everything else was obscured by fog. After lighting our torches and entering, the feeling can only be described as suffocating. The walls and ground were smooth as calm water. Across them were carvings or pictures of some sort. They weren't amateur either. Every single one of them looked like they were made by a master craftsman. It was like everything around me had a purpose, and with that purpose it held power. As we entered deeper, we saw a light that forced us to douse our torches. And there it was. It moved up and down in the air with a rhythm, pulsing, breathing, and reforming itself over and over. It looked alive. It was an amazing sight. So amazing in fact that we didn't notice until it got up. Just below the orb obscured by its light wearing purple and white robes was a giant. Besides its head was a staff just as tall as it. It might have been sleeping when we got there. Maybe it was waiting. When we went, they went towards it. Two of us, two of it, and two of its four arms holding their staff. At that moment, I swear, it had the face of death. When we took out our weapons, preparing for the battle ahead, but then the administrator just walked towards it like it was nothing and took out a stick of his and pointed at that thing. The giant suddenly stopped and just stared at him before placing their staff on the ground and kneeled. When it lifted its head again, it was smiling. Little funky wording there, but that's fine. All right, let's see. SCP 7085-A is a six meter tall adolescent humanoid entity possessing androgynous features. Androgynous features in exhibits both female and male anatomy. Additionally, it possesses higher durability even for its size, two additional functional arms and the ability to survive without the need for food or water. SCP 7085-A has extensive knowledge of anomalous phenomena and practices and claims to be in possession of further currently undocumented anomalous attributes. When SCP 7085 was discovered, it was found to be surrounded by stone carvings and illustrations of unknown design and age. These artworks mainly consist of humans assuming a bowing position before a larger one. While others showcase the smaller humans giving gifts to the same large figure, in the main area where SCP 7085 was discovered on the ceiling was a depiction of several figures surrounding one another holding, one holding up a forearmed multi-eyed child to the sky. Addendum, SCP 7085-Progress Report. Since the initial discovery of SCP 7085, the information emitted from it has become more coherent and useful. The ways of receiving this information are now more direct, either being relayed on nearby writable material or if applicable directly into the thoughts of personnel present. A sample of notable information acquired from SCP 7085 is provided below. Table is designation, information and usage. SCP 7085-8, Thunder Iron. Information regarding mixing metals, occult and thumb-aturgic materials to create a potent iron alloy. And the link goes to MCD Thunderbolt Iron. I don't know what that is. It's an MCD item, so who knows. Its thumb-aturgic and occult potential exceeds its normal variant, allowing the creation of several rituals and mechanisms that are stronger and more cost-efficient. However, prolonged use with exposed skin can induce a subject to develop a compulsion to eat it. If consumed, the subject would start to become physiologically dependent on the alloy to the point where their body would reject food and water. Usage has been found to be greatly effective in combating fairy, protonymph and nymph clusters and infestations. Protective clothing for SCP 7085-08 is currently in production. Any personnel discovered showing symptoms of addiction are to be prohibited from any operations that involve SCP 7085-08. SCP 7085-25 Shrawn's Mindbreakers Anti-Sionic mechanisms invented by Dr. Shrawn based on information retrieved from SCP 7085. Testing has shown that they can dampen or completely nullify the psionic abilities of both human and non-human entities. Consultant exposure, 12 to 25 days, can cause damage to the frontal lobe of these individuals, neutralizing them. SCP 7085-25 has been shown to be extremely effective against psionic base groups due to its uniqueness and ability to be used in an ambush. GUI 46, quote Marist Family, has been openly antagonistic against the Foundation in the past, have been proven effective against them. Further experimentation to diversify this technology is ongoing. SCP 7085-76 Leth's Law A set of mathematical equations and theorems that are based on emotion and imaginative concepts, when correctly utilized, the subject wielding the equation can mathematically turn theoretical and ontological concepts into sentient physical entities, allowing communication between unproven theories to take place. Due to this, several new anomalies, techniques for containment purposes have been utilized. However, when SCP 7085 had been invented and utilized, however, when SCP 7085-76 derivatives are used, concepts that are outside current human processing can be learned and understood. Several research attempts to further understand these derivatives had to be halted due to the appearance of several extinct species, the disappearance of personal spines, and the emergence of redacted. All safe information derived from SCP 7085-76 is currently being implemented to further strengthen Foundation operations. Currently, no further testing will be done on SCP 7085-76. All miscellaneous knowledge to use it is currently being transferred to Secure Storage Facility TUMBA. All miscellaneous knowledge to use it is currently being transferred to the Secure Storage Facility TUMBA. Forward. TUMBA. Forward. The interview was recorded with a primitive occult recording device known as a worm wheel. Foundation is damp and damaged and sound may sometimes cease at random intervals. Okay, it looks like there's 7085-A in the administrator. Want to be 7085-A? I'll take it. Sure. Begin log. SCP 7085-A's arms and legs are chained to the back wall of the containment cell while several personnel performing tests and measurements on them. SCP 7085-A remains unmoving as this occurs. The administrator sits on the opposite side of the room, tapping their foot. Answer my questions. I have already answered these. Why not ask your men what I said? I have other things I wish to discuss with you. I want to hear them with my own ears, not from your machine. Now answer me. Who are you? I will play this game of yours. To answer your question, what am I? It's complicated. In the past, I have been given many titles. The original philosopher, Keylon, bringer of the new dawn. But I think the one you want is my truest one. When I was born, my creators deemed me the oracle, the first and last of the homunculi. Oracle, like the myths. You can see our future. First, myths you speak of are nothing but tall tales. And yes, but not in the way you are thinking. It takes days to prepare myself for a vision. And even then, it still might not work. For when they do come, they come in the form of glimpses and checkered pieces. They are more akin to a fractured memory than anything else. In the past, they were much clearer. It would have been as if I was watching this conversion from just outside the window. But back then, I was younger too. Back then, when was the last time you had one of these visions? About 60 years ago. It was of a dying star, reduced to almost nothing, crashing down into the ocean. It was quite sad watching it. It traveled such a great distance to just die alone without anybody even noticing it. Some might consider that a blessing. Others, hell. What do you think? Stop trying to change the subject. Homunculi. I've seen homunculi before. They don't talk. They can't. And they aren't as coy and smug as you. You're no homunculus. And who are you to determine that? You, who knows nothing of what true homunculus is. I have seen this world's current process of creating homunculi, and it's nothing but a farce. To make a true homunculus a true human, one must have a human soul. Not a stolen one, but one forged in the cradle of life and death. An art lost to you. Well, lost to you now. Your predecessors have tried many times to replicate one. The heads were always too big if I remember correctly. You talk like you knew of us before you even came here. Of course I knew of you. When you can see the future, what do you think the dreams are like? The events of this world are my escape and nightmare. And your foundation is peculiar, indeed. You were destined for greatness until you weren't. Laterally, fate has been out of your favor until the engine called you. And I must say, you have been busy. Not a hint of slothfulness when it comes to the engine. How diligent of you. So you are waiting for us. How long were you there? How long? Ah, there it is, that face. When you first awoke me, I thought you were intruders. But when you took out that wand and pointed it at me, I must say I felt a shiver. You were actually going to try to kill me, weren't you? Where did you get that, by the way? Did you carve it yourself? I sense great power from it, or maybe from its wielder. Answer the question. I cannot answer that. All I can tell you is that it was a long time. A very long time. You are not the first inheritors to appear, you know. Inheritors? What are you talking about? Yes, inheritors. The engine or the SCP-A? Or am I the A? Your cataloging system is confusing. You should stick to numbers. Well, anyways, it chose you. Many groups, ones that can make you look like ants, were given this mantle. All were chosen, but none were worthy enough to claim it. Then here comes you. The administrator and the foundation. Out of all the kingdoms and empires of this world, it chose you. So, you're telling us that this orb, this engine, picked us out of everybody in the world to come take it out of that cave? Am I getting that right? You can believe what you want, but it will not change reality, administrator. I once had your sentiment as well. Why you? Why small, weak you? But I think I know why now. Unlike your predecessors, you fear the engine. I see it in your face every time you mention it. You do not see it as a tool to further your power, but as a weapon. You fear its potential and it has already ruled on you already. It brought you out of the darkness, but it can put you right back into it if one is not careful. Ha ha! Your disposition makes you wonderful inheritors, but you have only scratched the surface of what it can do. And what can it do? Anything! Ridiculous. I do not lie. Can you not hear its song for you? Maybe you're not ready to realize its truth worth then. But know this, I am an ally. I was created to serve humanity, and what I see in you is nothing but that. What are you talking about? I can see your weariness as clear as day. And even then, with granted great power, you do not succumb to it. You think of your fellow man first. You will come around. Stop acting as if you know me, self-proclaimed homunculus. I do not trust you. No, maybe not now, but in the future I hope you see that you're in my goals are not so different and that you would stop from examining me. Indeed, they are very thorough. What makes you so confident that will happen? What makes you so sure that it wouldn't? Smug and coy. You're wasting my time. We're through. God already, I was enjoying our conversation. But oh, one more thing though. What? Put my staff back, please. It is very important to me. No. End log. SCP-7085 to date has continued to increase its informational output to the point where transfer to a large facility has been proposed to store SCP-7085 and the information obtained from it. Rosal has been given more initiative as several cracks and damages were found in the interior of its containment area. Addendum SCP-7085 Incidents on July 28th, 1852 87 members of the Morris family appeared at Provisional Site-03 demanding a return of property confiscated by foundation forces in previous raids. When the foundation did not respond, they attacked the site killing the majority of personnel and capturing the rest. To de-escalate the situation, mediators from the foundation Joshua Cambrid and Gerla Morrell were escorted by armed forces to negotiate terms of peace. Do you know how to pronounce that? I have no idea. I go with Gerla Morrell. Yeah. GOI-46, Morris family, debrief. GOI-46 is a psionic group that is considered up-blood relatives. They were once based around Eurasia until the main family moved to North America since 1728 to 1730. Since then, they have been acquiring and experimenting with various anomalies including themselves. They are known to be highly aggressive to outsiders and have proven to possess great insight into combat tactics, specifically those of the occult and psionic kind. Due to this, they have been in conflict against foundation since its foundation since its founding and are considered a high-class threat. After 14 hours of no contact from the diplomacy team sent to from after 14 hours of no contact from the diplomacy team from the diplomacy team sent to Site-03, Cane. I don't like the way that's worded. The administrator assembled a party of personnel equipped with new psionic and new anti-psionic weaponry. The account of the event by one of the surviving personnel captured, Gerla Morrell-Vos is provided below. The Morris family. I heard old tales of their barbarianism and warrior spirit in Europe in the Middle East hair with the color of fire and hail of snow. Fools in civilized society. Civilized society. Genius is in the field of battle. When we arrived there the bodies were already laid across the site's ground. They were torn apart and pulverized into ground meat. I saw one of them eating the remains. When we finally met the main sect and tried to explain who we are they just laughed and laughed at us. Well, until dawn came. Don Creed Marist was an ogre of a man with scars running throughout his face and body. He didn't say a word. He reached out his hand and crushed Joshua's back. That's when the screaming started. I was thrown against the ground and I watched as they ripped and shredded my friends with their minds. When they had their fill of the carnage they had my hand smashed and tied me up right in front of the building with the others. They told me if they wanted to see wanted us to see what they were about to do with the people coming to get us. I know the Morris family and the foundation were never on good terms, really. The foundation wasn't on good terms with anybody given our state back then. But still, to think they'd go this far. Because this wasn't just some excursion to prove a point. The elders, the children, the adults and even their inbred mutants roamed around the site. They were planning to start a war with us and win it. It's embarrassing given my position but I gave up and thought we were all going to be killed and eaten like cattle. I sat there accepting my fate like the coward I was until the sky ripped. They came pouring down like it was an act from God that we were right in front. I heard of his whole name before he was promoted to the foundation, the hero of five worlds. The one who saved the foundation from collapse countless times. I thought they were just hearsay and bolstered his reputation but right then and there he looked just like the stories. Our allies were outnumbered five to one but they didn't seem to care. The administrator told them no more have to die. Give us our men back and we can arrange a compromise. He will uphold this. Don responded by squeezing the head of a man beside me until it popped the red and pink gush. It was a blur after that. They came upon the Marys systematically killing anyone who dared put up a fight and powers weakened thanks to Shrawn's inventions. But some, like Don, didn't seem that affected. Alas, that didn't matter in the long run. I don't know what happened exactly next but I believe I got the important parts. Three, no four of them including Don stood around the administrator. The administrator's wand globed. They backed up. Don charged but the administrator blocked him. There was a tussle. Don got a punch in. The administrator a kick. The wand globed brighter and then there was a boom. Then the dust cleared. Don's body was missing ahead. It wasn't long after that the battle ended and the foundation was victorious. I don't know what the veiled world thought of us after this but I know one thing for sure. Weak wasn't one of them. The remaining survivors which were mostly adolescents were captured. When examined, 25% of the members showed physical ailments caused by inbreeding. The new head of the Morris family, Tiffany C. Morris, proposed a deal with the foundation to ensure their family's survival. In return for the foundation's assistance, the Morris family would give their services information about their obtained anomalies. These negotiations were still currently in progress. Around the time during the Morris family incident, SCP-785's containment facility was experiencing rapid failure of its mechanisms. Reports of a constant buzzing sound were heard around the area. Believing this to be the cause of an attack from unknown members of the Morris family, the site went on lockdown. When no evidence of an external force was present, SCP-785's containment cell was repaired and put on high alert. Investigation into the cause of this incident is ongoing. The next table is date, event, aftermath. Date, April 29th, 1852. Event, the reclusive anomalous society known as the Illuminati was discovered to be using carcasses of deceased humans and animals to create animated chimeric life forms called siren men. They used these siren men as guards to protect anomalous artifacts and inventions in mainstream hotspots. Siren head. After several civilians died to the Illuminati's presence in these areas, the foundation offered assistance to store artifacts away from the civilians to avoid unnecessary cashities. The Illuminati then refused the foundation's request and stopped any further form of contact. After deliberation, Theorem 5.2 of SCP-785-76 and the eye of SCP-785-45 were authorized to be used, resulting in 12 Illuminati outposts fitted with siren men being seized by the foundation and later deconstructed. Aftermath, the Illuminati began to retaliate against foundation facilities to regain lost artifacts. Eventually, their forces were intercepted and terminated. Since then, the Illuminati has reopened negotiations. March 7, 1853. The remnants of the cult of Null developed a human infavor in the Dominican Republic. The cult was planning on using the infavor to consume the business tycoon Tyler Marshall. They would have then used the collected information to create a sentient doppelganger of Marshall to take over his business and supply themselves with monetary resources to fund their endeavors. Inspiracy was discovered and stopped after the utilization of SCP-785-65 which found missing pockets of information in the area's infosphere. All known members of the cult of Null were captured and questioned for information about their other activities. After no further information could be acquired, they were traded with various groups of interest for further keeping. February 12, 1855. SCP-785 was recorded to produce an energy field originated from its center. Since then, it began emitting information at an increasing rate and producing audible sounds such as soft humming around its vicinity. Its containment cell has also begun to accumulate more malfunctions and damages to its mechanisms. Study of these properties are ongoing. Not applicable aftermath. Okay. Back to the log. Begin log. SCP-785-A is locked in chains that are connected to the back wall. The administrator stands in front, unoccupied. On the company, rather. Alone this time. I cannot complain though. I do enjoy these moments of ours. Even if you are angry half of the time, it is still much more enjoyable than sleeping in a cave. I am here to talk about the engine. It's changing. He told me once that you wanted to help, so tell me what is happening. Please. Very well. As I said before, the engine grows as you do. The more you rely on it, the more it will expand. It must be getting loud now. And lonely too. It's becoming frantic. Like a child begging for a parent's attention. It must have given you the information to unlock it by now. Has it not? It has. I see. I can help you. You don't need to be afraid. The engine was made by the best of humanity. The same ones who created me. Its purpose is to enrich your people. And who are these people who created you? Every time we try to gain more information about this past of yours, you change the subject. What are you telling us, Oracle? My past does not matter. All you need to focus on is acquiring the engine. You can easily prove the information that has sent you to be true. Answer my question. I have been answering your questions for a long time. And before I answer any more of yours, answer mine. What is your goal, administrator? What is the point of this? Either way, you are still going to use it no matter what I say. This isn't how this is going to go. But it is. I have obeyed every request you made of me. I have been more than willing to submit. But I grow tired too. You have grown too comfortable here. Do you think you could just make demands of us and you'll get what you want? Do you think these jeans can keep me here? Do you honestly believe that? I stayed as long as I have because I believed in you. And I still do. But I see what you're doing. You're going to die if you continue. Is that a vision? No. An observation. Rely more on the good graces this world has given you. Even after all it has done for you, you still fear it. The engine only wants to help. You keep saying that. But I can't just take your word for it. And I'll have the privilege of doing that. Then what are you trying to do? Because right now you are wasting your time. What am I trying to do? Are you talking about your engine or in general? No. It's the same in the end. I'll tell you this. My goal as the administrator? No. As a human, ever since I came into power was the foundation. Every conspiracy, every lie, every death, every mistake I have to sign on. It will never be enough. For every life saved by us, another takes its place. I saw what your engine gave us. Give us a fairytale. It told us it can give us the power to stop this tragedy. When I was entrusted with this mantle I also became responsible for every life we affect. I cannot trust things as quickly as you. Lives are on the line. And we do not gamble with them. You really won't be satisfied, won't you? I hid my past because it would be nothing to you. Sit down on the floor. Now you're talking. It is only fair that I do now since I know your fears more thoroughly. What I tell you now, remember this. What happened was not because of the engine. In the twilight era of first of man, long after the creation of myself, no enemies laid before them. And so, with nothing else to fight, peace occurred. But with peace came a deathly call. Men grew complacent with itself and sought out more to conquer. They spread out across the world and diversified, forgetting what made them whole. And then, when the last embers of connection broke, humans do what they do. They fought until one of them could claim dominion. But in the end, there was nothing else to rule over but ruins. I don't get what you're trying to say. What I am saying is don't let the past blind you. When I slumbered in that cave, I didn't just dream of the present, but of futures that could never be. I fooled myself into thinking they were real, they were real, thinking they were real. And that mountain, that tomb, was nothing but a nightmare. But when I look at you, I see a dream becoming reality. Believe me or not, I have spoken nothing but the truth. You're a fool. How can you claim to be so old and get so naive? But while hiding the past, do for us. Perhaps so. You know, you're kinder than you let on. What? Nothing. Nothing at all. Right. So, if we do decide to use the engine that's running, if we do decide to use the engine that's fullest, how long will it take? So you're actually doing it. How long? Depends on your resources. But with your determination, it shouldn't take long. We're gonna need a whole lot more than that to pull this off. We're gonna need your help. But even I think you're betraying us, and I will end you, even I think you're betraying us, I will end you myself. Of course! I expect nothing less from you. I have not felt like this for a long, long time. I am truly grateful to you for this opportunity you have given me. But I would like to make one request. And that is... My staff. End log. Proposal. Project Hummingbird. Addendum 785-Hummingbird. Proposal. Project Hummingbird. Details. Information recovered from SCP-785 has given surrounding, given groundings to SCP-785-A's claims of its true capabilities. At the time of writing, SCP-785 has been discovered to have an expanding energy field that is currently encompassing the majority of the Norwood Hemisphere. Current projections predict that this field will involve the entire planet in approximately 10 months. Research into SCP-785's field revealed it to have a negentropic and entropic property simultaneously, resulting in the ability to interact with everything inside its field on a structural level. It is currently unknown how SCP-785 is capable of this, but it is theorized to be the result of the information it has stored inside itself and converting it into energy using the mathematical laws of SCP-785-38, SCP-785-47, and SCP-785-46. If the project is approved, the foundation will begin developing an apparatus that will stabilize its field and allow the foundation to control it. In the event of the failure and inability to control SCP-785, Type-5 dimensional wormhole lox quote Waze have been set to be used to envelop SCP-785 and to relocate it into a fitted containment cell in level 9 of Tumba. A combat force is to be on standby for any archonic entity manifestation or residue due to the Waze use. Approved by the following heptic council members, Thomas Kahn, director of Site-05, the Gerla Morel Boss, head of the Department of External Relations, Lund Sean, head of Agneomatic Research, Caleb Marigold, director of Site-02, Donald Lantoid, head of the Containment Department, Joseph Bond, director of Site-06, Luther Zander, administrator. With the assistance of SCP-785-A, Project Hummingbird was started. From the Foundation's research and information given by SCP-785-A, the majority of the materials needed to construct the device were already in Foundation's possession. However, four major components were required. The components needed were, one, an energy source powerful enough to exhibit a field that can survive SCP-785's own field. Two, a processing mechanism that can function both as an equalizer to the device and store all of its physical and non-physical values. Three, an occult mechanism that will allow stabilization of energy given off by the recycling process of souls. And four, a transparent concave optic structure that can still maintain its structure and magnified energy fields. These components would have taken decades to develop with the Foundation's current technological standing. As such, analogs were recovered from elsewhere. One, a suitable source was found in the anomalous city-state, the summer courts, concealed and hidden in a pocket dimension inside Northern Europe. With the use of several anomalous items, its location and entry were discovered. The inhabitants of the city were hostile to Foundation forces, but due to their deteriorated state and partial transformation in nymphs, along with the use of SCP-785-80, the resistance was insufficient to prevent the item's discovery. Two, information retrieved from the remnants of GOI-46 Morris family revealed that the GOI-43 Salem family, a silent group who have dealt with the Morris's in the past, possessed an alchemically created artificial brain. This brain had the alchemy's capability of storing large amounts of information that GOI-43 imprinted upon it and was believed to have limitless storage. When questioned on the purpose of this item, they refused to divulge any further. The item was shown to be capable of containing and storing knowledge suitable for Project Humingbird. After negotiations with the relinquishing of SCP Redacted and GOI-43, the item was obtained. Three, recovered after combative incident involving the administrator and several members of Red Right Hand against the Anomalous Society Knight's Templar. Four, discovered after SCP-785 gave the location of ruins located in Redacted. These ruins were composed of flesh and metal with bodies that preserved humanoid entities embedded in them. In the center of this area was the item. Surrounding the item were seven glass orbs designated one through seven, and murals of humanoid bowing down seven entities creating a multi-eyed chimera creature. After the item was recovered, several of the structures began to move and vocalize. On the orders of the administrator, the entranceway was destroyed and all records to travel there were expunged. Begin log. SCP-785, while emitting a constant humming sound, is being lowered onto the mechanical apparatus. Wires and coils are seen in the area connecting from and to the apparatus. Electricity is visible seen sparking throughout the mechanism. Dr. Schwann with three personnel oversees Project Hummingbird. SCP-785-A is seen sitting with their staff in their lap while being chained through the back of the room while the administrator stands beside them. Other researchers scurry around the area. Isn't it beautiful? Not in the slightest. No, that's right. To you, this was the source of your misery for quite some time. Now, you will be your greatest tool. Then why the face? I swear, after all this you better not. No, no, it's nothing. I'm just scared. Everything I've been waiting for since that time is about to be completed. You are about to receive the majesty of humanity's greatest accomplishment. My hands are numb from the anticipation. It's just that it all feels wrong. You're waiting for something bad to happen. When things go well, the idle mind automatically turns to the worse. It is what soldiers go through all the time, but sometimes things go as planned. In those rare moments, nothing bad has to happen. Relying on your visions made you anxious. Maybe so. Then why do you have that look then? Expecting the worse, of course. So, what will happen after this? What will you do? The same as always. Even if this thing can do anything, it doesn't mean it needs to be used for that. It's not a savior. It's a weapon. That's all it will ever be. But, it will make our job easier. SCP-785 begins to glow and change from more rapidly. Glow and change form more rapidly for several seconds before resuming normal activity. I don't think it is like that at all. Not at all. So, what will happen to me after this is done? I thought you didn't care what happened to you. The same. You helped us a lot. It began to allow you to roam free with that body and mind of yours. I can make it as comfortable as possible though. Well, thank you. I cannot really expect any more than that, can I? But that too is fine. I was worshipped once, you know. They called me the child of dreams. Temples were erected in my name just so they can ask me their questions. To predict the weather to know the time of death of a loved one or if they would one day find purpose in their lives. They adored me for it. My words were treated as truth and they shaped their lives around them. To know the future is to know the beauty and chaos of creation. A friend told me that once. I speak too much. What I'm trying is to not let the engine control you. Never make it your source of pride or last resort. Even if this does fail and you despair over it, get up. You are not shaped by it. Your foundation is worthy enough. Don't need to worry about us. But I don't say this to people or in your case anomalies. But thank you. You are very welcome. Sir, it's time. SCP-7085's apparatus begins to glow and a gust of wind is emitted from it. SCP-7085 then begins to spin rapidly and increase in heat glowing red in the process. The humming sound grows in volume and turns around the area. The sound then slowly becomes audible tangible words. It's speaking. I see. So this is what it sounds like when it's accepted a new wielder. So this is its song. Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation Foundation That's enough. So this is an area of SCP-7085 begin to move and shift forming patterns across the ground, walls, and ceiling. These patterns eventually form the foundation's symbol. The ground beneath the apparatus begins to shake to the point where the personnel present are visibly affected by it. It's increasing its energy output. The lens and information storages are in effect. The field is stabilizing. Good. Good. Keep it up. Turns to SCP-7085-A. The fall of Olympus occurred at the last. The Nosferatu have returned and they bring fire upon the lands and death in the air. Release the engines of battle. Unleash the Cods and Bonds. Unleashed the end. Oh. Administrator. Does it not sound beautiful? It sings your name in the loveliest tune. Is something wrong? SCP-7085-A's head reels back as they begin speaking in an unknown language. Oh. You do like to contain. But I cannot be done this time. I am afraid that we might have been a little off in our efforts. Oracle, are you with me? Administrator. We were wrong. I was wrong. These images. My mind is full of thoughts and images. We have to try another time. No. Not even. I see. I see. I see. SCP-7085-A stands up releasing their chains in the process. Before any personnel could react to this, they pounce on SCP-7085 and slam their staff on it. SCP-7085 then begins to levitate out of the apparatus while the wires and coils are still connected to it and spin sporadically. They then levitate in the air while streaks of electricity bounce off across the walls and ground. Several moments later, SCP-7085 emits a wave of energy that pushes back the objects and personnel around them, excluding SCP-7085-A who disappears when it hits them. After this, SCP-7085 emits another wave of energy that causes the malfunction and destruction of several devices in the area. Dr. Schronen activates the way locks as they begin to glow, SCP-7085 emits another wave SCP-7085 begins to glow a red hue and emit heat before a final wave emits from it, causing an explosion. The recorder is severely damaged and the footage is distorted. Before losing all functionality, the administrator is seen standing up and screaming, and lock. Addendum-785-Recovery After the failure of Project Hummingbird, SCP-7085 was moved to a new location. It's malfunction caused to emit a massive temporal energy field that caused the second to third degree burn injuries and disintegration of several personnel close to the explosion. SCP-7085 now possesses several new cracks along its exterior. I can also hear myself. Can I change something? Better. No, not better. SCP-7085 I can hear myself still. Just letting you know. It's probably echoing in the stream as well. SCP-7085 now possesses several new cracks along its exterior. Okay, it stopped, but still maintains functionality. Since this event, there have been an increase in anomalous activity around the world. Below is a list of notable and unknown events. Location. Minas, Jerez, Brazil. Description. Boiling rain occurs every five to six days across the eastern region. These occurrences have estimated to have injured at least 300 people. This information campaigns are ongoing. Southern United States of America reports of a carnivorous entity that inhabits dark energy areas. Reports claim that this entity can instantly consume individuals via touching their shadow and developing them with their own body. This entity has been described as being shrouded in shadow and possessing a strong version of light sources. The link going to SCP-017. Earth. Anomalous information entered into the human-conscious sphere. Not that good again. Human-conscious sphere to an unknown amount of individuals. This information mainly consists of thematic and occult practices. Causing a rise in anomalous activity in civilian hotspots. To date, no known information about the foundation has been discovered by any threes. Level nine of Tumba. SCP-785 continuously emits a humming sound. It also exhibits the ability to deteriorate the area around it. It's back at a rapid rate. The foundation symbol has been found to be forming on the surfaces around it cracks along wall or manipulating dust piles. When these symbols are disrupted, they immediately begin reforming. Due to this, it has been moved to a hyperdense containment chamber. However, SCP-785 effects are continuously growing stronger and current containment is believed to soon become ineffective. I don't know what's doing that but it's definitely audible for me and slightly disruptive to my ability to speak because it's I can hear myself. Tell me what you're hearing again. I hear my voice half a second. Like it's coming to you. Are your speakers maybe too loud? Is it looping back in? Let me try muting this on my side here. Tell me talk after I say this. SCP-785-A is whereabouts remain unknown to be considered un-neutralized. Yeah, that's it. So the current situation, I'm going to update the stream right now since we're stuck anyways. The YouTube to my house connection is having an internet problem right now. So what the audience is seeing is skipping frames and audio jumble, jargle, whatever. I've got a yellow alert here that says YouTube is not receiving enough video to maintain smooth streaming which happens time to time but when it's a longer delay that means we get in trouble. And what you are hearing is that periodically Zoom which we're using to pipe you in is piping in through my laptop microphone whereas the stream is hearing my main microphone. So when my camera mic is active if the noise canceling on Zoom fails you hear yourself right here. Gotcha. That only happens when the internet is having problems because it doesn't happen all the time. Yeah, I'm definitely still hearing that. So I need to remember to mute myself to you if we're doing a long read of you and that happens. Right. And then as long as it's not hearing that. Yeah, that's all that matters as long as it's coming through clearly to them. But hopefully this little internet storm goes by and I can fiddle with some of the techier lower your encoder settings ensure you don't have any other apps open that are heavy on the CPU enable performance mode. All right, let me see if I can fiddle with that while you keep it going. Sure. Letter was given to all foundation facilities and outposts on January 5th 1856 Times are hard. The past few months I've asked every single one of you to give even more of yourselves to the foundation's greatest mission protecting this world from the dark. You are tired and desperately in need of repose and yet you still fight. For that you may have my greatest gratitude and now we face our greatest threat maybe since our founding. The world is in chaos. Anomalies have increased tenfold. We have no choice but to respond in full. As I write this letter all around the world foundation is working together with other organizations who have similar goals to keep this madness at bay. Your sacrifices have not gone unnoticed and will not be unrewarded. I hope one day we finally get that day of promised rest that will not be because of mourning but for celebration. The administrator convoy to the administrator's office. Classified convoy to the administrator's office. Administrator your statement for the cause most short was warm. I know you do not like doing these things but until the mission is over but you must know why I request you to say something we trusted an anomaly and dearly paid for it. Project hummingbird must seem done to you but I tell you now that it is not. Maybe the only hope we have left. Really? On that day SCP-785 was damaged and we did not realize it contained so much power. It is just as Dash A said it can do anything. The increase of anomalous activity and the appearances of these creatures is proof alone. If it wasn't for that betrayal we would have eliminated every anomaly in the new world. We are so close to victory all we need is one more push. Just one more to reverse our failure. Director Sean has told me the revised hummingbird is almost complete. Everything will be ready and to be sent in a couple of weeks. However, for it to work we must go back to where we found it. That place seems to have the properties that helped stabilize the orb naturally. No wonder it was there. It was the best place to contain it. We'll soon be sending a team there. Set up the operation. I assume you will also be leading this. You are strong. Yes. You are also our leader. We cannot have you lead our men to battle and one day not have you come back without a successor in place. I know you feel guilty, but you are not the only one who voted on that today. You all partook in that failure. You have saved countless lives including mine and continue to do so. So please, don't carry this burden on yourself for your sake and the foundations. Jurler Morel Voss head of the Department of External Relations. Addendum SCP-7085 Retribution on December 23, 1857. The administrator with the assistance of personnel Flirud Tone led a team of 12 to escort SCP-75 to the location of its discovery. Accompanied by this mission was a portable wormwheel that will be used to record the events in case of malfunction or failure. Not sure what a wormwheel is, but it's fine. Let's see. Begin lock. They mentioned wormwheels earlier that it's what they did. They didn't explain them. They didn't explain what it was. As the group enters the passageway to where SCP-75 was first discovered, the area seemed to be in a greater state of disrepair than was present last time. SCP-85 SCP-75 grows brightly and emits a loud humming sound. As it is the team continues forward the structure around them begins to form cracks on the exterior as SCP-75 passes them. When they enter the main space of the cave fog is observed inside it. The instruments delivered there early are seen scattered across the grounds severely damaged. In the back of the room, sitting down on the floor is SCP-75-A holding their staff before their hands. You ready? Hello, Administrator. You look terrible. Sir, that's leave. But sir, you can't leave you with that. Go. Get back up. I'll hold it off until then. But that's an order, Tone. Now go. The 12 personnel slowly leave the area dropping the wormwheel and SCP-75 and exit. A bit dramatic, but okay. So, how have you been? That looks like a new scar on your face. You've been fighting more, haven't you? How are you still here? I was hoping you knew that, but it seems that we are both confused. My theory is maybe the engine grew affection for me. I had been with it for so long that it couldn't bear killing me even after I betrayed it. It's funny, really. This is the place it sent me. SCP-75-A stands and slands its staff against the ground clearing the fog from the area. SCP-75-A appears older and has several scars on its limbs. When you were about to claim the engine, its song sparked something within me. A flame of youth. I had a vision as clear as day. I saw you and the foundation. I saw what it will become and what will happen to this world. I saw a world meant for dreams and nightmares. I would have been satisfied staying there with my mind, but not after that. I had to return. Thankfully, the engine is not all-knowing or powerful in realms outside of its creation. You must understand me when I say this. I did not take pleasure in doing what I did, but if you knew what I saw and heard, then you would have done the same. SCP-75-A's hands are as weak as they hold the staff. Tell me, do you know how long I was gone? To think I trusted you. I'm a failure. No, you are not. The only thing that was wrong was us. SCP-75-A jumps towards the administrator who dodges. SCP-75-A then grabs SCP-75A and holds it in the air with two of their hands. They are all relics from the past. A past so old that even the Earth has forgotten it. Once, men had the power to reach for stars and take them. But now, they are weak and scared and seek power to make them strong and brave. They seek out old truths and old ways for their future. They are guided by the dead. I once thought you will be different. No one's to claim this majesty and finally surpass the old era. But only with your strength can you do that. You looked me in the eye and told me that you can help us. That it will save our people. You're just talking nonsense. Do not mock me. You know exactly what I'm saying. It was only by chance the engine chose you. Countless eras, countless kings and countless children were chosen by it to take it whole and all fell before it. And yet you came so close to taming it. What I saw is the outcome of this so-called mastering of the engine. It was a world without will. A world without humanity. No more. Let it end. I'm sorry. My little friend. But it's time for us to go. Oracle, don't you dare. SCP-785-A throws SCP-785 in the air. SCP-785-A staff then begins to produce a fire of white and purple hues that engulfed SCP-785-A and SCP-785. SCP-785-A then uses the staff to hit air. SCP-785-A throws SCP-785 in the air. SCP-785-A then uses the staff to hit SCP-785 in its center, splitting it into fragmented pieces. The seismic activity around the area and SCP-785 properties begin to slow down and suddenly cease altogether. What have you done? Millions will die because of you. Yes, they will. But you will be there to stop that. You will do everything in your power to prevent it. Sometimes you will win. Sometimes lose. But it will all be because of your actions. Not anyone else's. The administrator pulls out a wooden wand that is decorated with carvings. It then begins to glow a blue hue that envelops the whole room. Just be quiet. As you wish. But remember this. I am the Oracle. The first and last of the monkely. The final rebus. Made to serve humanity. I am a tool that dreams and you are the administrator. The leader of the foundation. The man who fights the dark. SCP-785-A staff fire begins to increase in size rapidly as the administrator's wand begins to glow to a point of obscuring the worm wheel. As they both begin to walk towards each other SCP-785-A begins to sprout eyes across its face and body. Show me administrator! Show me all of it! When they meet each other a sudden roaring sound occurs cutting the feed for several minutes. When it returns the worm wheel is located on the other side of the room where SCP-785-A is seen with a massive hole in the side of its abdomen. The administrator is seen standing atop of the body with his arm burned while clutching his leg. When the administrator exits the cave he was immediately escorted to receive medical attention. Shortly after this event the remains of SCP-785 and SCP-785-A were recovered. Attempts to repair SCP-785 to its original functionality have failed. Addendum SCP-785-Plack near the entrance way towards SCP-785 location was a plaque made of stone and believed to be written by SCP-785-A and is transcribed below. How it appeared in the area is currently unknown. If you are reading this I am dead. If you are reading this I am dead. I apologize for what I must have that must seem like a sudden betrayal but I assure you what I do is for the whole of humanity. The passages of time assume power based on the illusion that since they are old they are also needed. Time has come for a new era free from the old to begin. What I saw and what will happen will change this world for the better but there will be suffering and there will be pain. When that happens you will need something like the foundation and men like you in it administrator. In those times you must hold conviction to your ideals and passions never strain always fighting have pluck Luther didn't really parse out I think they needed to do some more revisions and go through it and read it out loud because a lot of the sentences were kind of clunky and weren't exactly pan out and this is radioactive rats they are they made other stuff here so it's not like a first article This story suffers from the reason that I liked the previous one even though the previous one wasn't like super finished or even well done at least told a story that I got like really clearly this is what they're aiming for these plot beats I understood it most of this time I had been sitting here trying to figure out what the hell story we're telling and it wasn't until the final battle which I did have fun with then I realized what we're doing is the foundation are the Templars and Assassins Creed and the Oracle has been helping them this whole time until you discover that if they get maximum power then they'll take away free will but I don't really see where that has been like thematically toyed with in the rest of this yeah you're right and they even brought up the Knights Templar and like tangentially like very very briefly and it was not in context of the foundation or anything so that kind of like kind of pulled away from that but I do agree with you that that's definitely what they were going for so what I would say my overall statement on this article is you've got a little bit of good ideas in here but it really needs a restructuring and a centering on what your main story is besides like fundamental spelling, grammar issues up to parody like there's just things where it's like okay like the addendums there's an em, like the small things but like there's an em dash between 785 and then the name of the addendum and then the last one has a regular hyphen and it's like these small things build up over time and it kind of gives it a messier look but overall the story there it's pretty good I don't know what a lot of like the things like they bring in elements and I'm like I don't know what this like the worm wheel like the way I ended up on the opposite side you should explain why that's significant because I don't really know what the size of the worm wheel is when he says it grows larger than the worm what is that? what is a worm wheel? I don't know but a footnote it's the first time you mention it and then I'll know what you're talking about I agree with that I want a footnote for what a worm wheel is yeah because it doesn't sound like a bad idea like to have some sort of anomalous recording device for things that can't be recorded by normal stuff isn't this back in like the 1700s in some places yeah yeah yeah this one was in 18 1871 yeah so like you can even bring in like foundation remote viewing programs like rainbow astra like they've tabled with that stuff in the past but yeah like I don't have any problem with them using a cult recording device as long as you know they explain what it is like they don't have to explain what it is just don't make it a relevant thing later on and be like well it grew bigger than the worm wheel wow like what is that what are we talking about so yes author my final word this is a down vote but a kind take this back shop it up a little bit because I like what you're going for it just needs structuring and the picture looks really cool picture looks neat keep the picture it's a good picture yeah once I like got to the ending like act knowing what's going on I got into it because like right these guys have built a friendship over time and betrayal and stuff and that was like that yeah before we move on to our next article we'll take a quick ad break for the go fund me of Dr. Sumerian what a great guy Sumerian he needs your money he needs it it's it's vital we get him your money whatever you have on you stick it in your CD drive it goes right to Sumerian and when you do that we can assure you that we are focusing that money on destruction of all the trees on the planet because do you see do you see this room do you know what Dr. Sumerian was storing in that bedroom do you know what those trees released upon humanity I don't but I can imagine and I'm sure it was expensive and so the trees will have vengeance right upon them but only if you donate to the go fund me to help us for finance that vengeance yes help us we are the the helpful youth deciduous revenge association call us one eight hundred hail hydro wait are we bad guys oh man vengeance is a dish best served cold and with that really expensive truffles in gold foil that's edible all the really expensive fixings go on the cold revenge don't worry we're not destroying any other types of of plants or anything like that so if you want to get your farming in you want to grow some stuff go ahead but trees right out also some of our other ad breaks for the day you can go check out the second episode of redacted on the lot one productions youtube channel the episode is scp zero seven nine the old ai there is she goes through it man she has a bad time that ai there's also a containment breach as scp things are apt to do with a lot of cameos from the scp's you're all going to know so go enjoy that cameo fest action scene go over to billus twitch to visit the ghost gang oh yeah yeah we hop on there we hunt ghosts all the time multiple times a week usually just out of there yesterday there's a halloween update for fazmophobia come check it out we might do a debrief after after this stream and we'll hang out with other scp friends we do that all the time and it's a good time definitely check it out the ghost bashers after show yes debrief sometimes we have we have Sherman on as well and it's a it's a good time he only screams a little bit only a little but he learned his lesson real quick on that one i learned nothing and i refuse to learn nothing okay fair enough alright we are back with scp 7019 by atilla the pun i'm already pleased by your author name that's a good that's a good author name for sure 7019 7019 okay oh who's this handsome devil and that is what's the name say come on go back go back series eight there we are 7019 is premonition premonition alright item number scp 7019 classification level four 7019 classified object class thal mule special containment procedures due to concerns that his removal may compromise mobile task force epsilon 11's operational effectiveness scp 7019 is allowed to maintain his position until further notice he has to be kept under constant surveillance experiments may be conducted under the guise of post operation examinations personnel aware of scp 7019's properties are advised to avoid contact with him or his subordinates unless otherwise instructed scp 7019 is an adult male human by the name of john vulpes scp 7019 is currently the commander of mobile task force epsilon 11 codename nine tailed fox the few the proud pictured scp 7019 dated july 25th 2022 scp 7019 has consistently demonstrated tactical prowess that cannot be accounted for by normal means casualty rates on missions where scp 7019 is in command are consistently below average and he was the sole survivor of seven different missions before his promotion to commander in 2020 based on analysis of operation reports this is almost certainly the result of some sort of anomalous clairvoyance however the mechanics of this property are currently not well understood due to security concerns scp 7019 and his subordinates are currently kept unaware of his classification as an scp object background official records indicate that scp 7019 was born in innsbruck austria on december 27th 1991 and remained in this area until he joined the e k o cobra footnote special operations and counter terrorism unit in the austrian federal ministry of the interior in 2011 scp 7019 confirms this however most of the references he provided denied personally knowing him scp 7019 was recruited from e k o cobra in 2014 after his unit encountered an anomaly now classified as scp 4 digit redacted he was the sole survivor upon recruitment he was inducted into mobile task force zeta 9 codename mole rats and temporarily promoted to field team leader zeta 9 was experiencing a personnel shortage at the time due to high casualty rates making scp 7019 one of the few members with any leadership experience this promotion was made permanent after his first 4 operations suffered half the unit's expected casualties as well as achieving operational objectives scp 7019 requested a transfer to mobile task force epsilon 11 in 2017 citing psychological concerns the transfer was approved he was later promoted to commander in 2020 under his control mobile task force epsilon 11 has seen a similar performance improvement to zeta 9 as now commonly used to train recruits for transferred other task forces however, there have been numerous formal complaints from scp 7019 subordinates regarding his controlling tendencies and occasionally unusual behavior addendum date may 15, 2022 to redacted at skip net from thomas loramore at skip net subject regarding john vulpes doctor redacted i'm writing to express my concerns regarding commander john vulpes of mobile task force epsilon 11 i understand that there have been several complaints already lodged against him most of which involve his odd demeanor and controlling tendencies however, this warrants a more immediate concern based on my analysis of operation reports and my observations of commander vulpes' behavior i strongly suggest suspect that commander vulpes is an anomalous properties i realize that this is a very serious charge to bring against the superior but commander vulpes has consistently demonstrated knowledge that he would be unable to attain through non-anomalous means examples include knowledge of breaches before they have been reported identifying the contents of unclear rooms and unusually extensive understanding of his subordinates' backgrounds these tendencies would be difficult to identify from operation reports alone most of which are written by commander vulpes himself and divert attention from these inconsistencies but are much more evident when witnessed first hand i have attached a thorough analysis of operation reports to this email which should dispel any suspicion that these incidents can be attributed to chance while commander vulpes has proven himself to be effective we cannot safely dismiss these concerns his history suggests that he has exhibited these properties since before his recruitment he also seems to be actively attempting to disguise his nature if his goal if his own goals do not align with our own his clairvoyant properties would make him a formidable adversary regardless of our feelings towards commander vulpes we cannot afford to ignore the fact that a mobile task force is under the control of an unpredictable anomalous humanoid i hope you will consider this information carefully sincerely captain thomas laramore mobile task force epsilon 11 codename nine tail fox call sign toad thomas laramore log date july 28th 2022 media type video subject scp 7019 duration 5 minutes 12 seconds or 5 hours 12 minutes we'll find out this footage was captured by a hidden camera planted in epsilon 11's locker room to monitor scp 7019 it encapsulates a conversation between scp 7019 and captain Liam crispy foresight one of his subordinates captain foresight worked with scp 7019 mobile task force 809 and was later transferred to mobile task force epsilon 11 at 7019's request began transcript scp 7019 is leaning over a sink and looking at his reflection in the mirror he is visibly shaking muttering and pain laughter can be heard coming from him you want the anomaly sure yeah thank you scp 7019 starts oh it's just you you okay john i preferred you didn't see that better mean one of the others at least tough day you could say that what happened the last hope he didn't go so well i didn't go as well as i'd hoped yeah i heard sounds like a mess i just keep thinking about this the kit footnote kit is an informal term used within mobile task force epsilon 11 to refer to a rookie member yes him he had so much potential many panics makes a wrong move and before you know it he's gone makes you think of all the close calls you had yourself huh something like that sounds like you need a vacation if only serious you've been burned the candle at both ends for years now you need some time off and leave captain law and more in charge of everything no thanks why not what's wrong with toad they snubbed him when they gave me command over nine tailed fox he's been authority my sign ever since is this about your secret there is a long pause how long have you known toad told me a couple a few months ago jesus we're in that timeline what exactly did he tell you not much he told me they thought you had some kind of anomalous clairvoyance after it looked at some random operation reports who else knows i don't know but i haven't told anyone else about it if toad knows then he'll have told the higher ups about it god damn it sorry john i suspected that something ever since the mole rats but of course stands up straight you have questions ask okay um how does it work how does what work your clairvoyance right i can see not so much what will happen but what might happen possibilities every choice someone makes creates a ripple across time if i tell a squad to turn left they obey and if i hear their dying screams over the radio i tell them to turn right they obey and they survive or they ignore me and they die anyways so you can see the future in a sense i see my own choices and their possible outcomes up until my inevitable death how long you've been like this as long as i can remember so if you knew what would happen you joined the foundation on purpose yes why because i knew what would happen if i didn't why what would happen i'm sure you'd rather not know come on you can't just say that and leave me hanging remember what it was like to be set on fire how could i forget i know what it that feels like or at least something like it xk most likely you're sure about this i've never been wrong before jesus the exact date changes but it usually ends the same way unless we follow one of a few very specific paths i have to join the foundation i have to join nine tails so and so has to survive so that he can help stop this breach the list goes on i'm a walking tightrope if i make a wrong step everything around me burns so if you had to join nine tails to stop whatever it is is what causes it already in containment i've thought about that a lot frankly i don't know i know what events are important but i can't see how anything connects it's all so inconsistent nine tails wasn't the only option either it was just the most reasonable so no i have no idea what the underlying cause is and all i can do is match what i've seen step by step and pray to whatever god will listen that nobody pushes me off you can't see what causes it i'm limited to my own perspective apparently nobody ever tells me what it is maybe nobody else will know either why haven't you told anyone about this until now you know where we are they have anomalies on the payroll you know if you're as good as you sound you are a massive asset most of these are already personnel before they developed anomalous properties you'll also notice that they don't let them work directly with skips anymore for the same reason you don't mix with random chemicals together i've seen what happens what would happen if i spoke up it's not impossible for them to accept me but those odds are extremely remote i'd at least lose my position as commander and i can't risk that though if toad's been snitching about it it may not matter anymore so what now then now now that you know i can keep you posted on what to expect you've been a good friend Liam and i appreciate that keep following my orders and i'll do everything i can to make sure that both of us come out alive though with toad as a hostile agent he's still useful, sure but since that rookie died earlier maybe you are him he worked at site 228 before he came here they haven't even reworked his they hadn't even revoked his keycard access yet site 228 what's at site 228 scv7019 shushes them looking at the door a few seconds later, two agents walk in while talking to one another you know Liam, you look tired what why don't you take tomorrow off what are you oh, i see you sure you won't need me yes i'll take care of it go take Mia somewhere nice okay i don't know if i can do anything to help i will enjoy your day off take care of yourself John thanks Liam see you Saturday end transmission the day after this exchange July 29th, 2022 mobile task force epsilon 11 was deployed to respond to a mass containment breach at site 228 while the operation was ultimately successful four epsilon 11 agents including captain Larimar were called after becoming trapped in a maintenance corridor they were unable to use the main hallways because they were not granted keycard access in time to prevent the breach from spiraling out of control despite scv7019's repeated requests for emergency access like you want to give your thoughts first i actually okay so anomalous mobile task force member automatically scares me just as a concept as a cliche this isn't a bad iteration of that per se so i'm less like i'm not like immediately turned away you did make a hyper capable badass but you did like let him fail to save everyone so we're like towing that line of the cliche character here but it's not i guess i guess what's most egregious to me is that it's very thin on like the story besides introducing us to this thing existing in what it is yeah i wanted to make sure i wasn't crazy but yeah that's exactly what i was there's a guy he seems like he's got anomalies oh he does and we get an interview where he tells us what he is i would prefer if like with uh we got like stories and like background and events around the thing not just like here's a dude what's my power oh he's badass see the future yeah i get you yeah no not you know any more emotion more characterization in general um i was also afraid that i was like is this a self insert marysuit type um mtf agent anomalous or no it's actually quite easy to tell many times it's hard to tell it's not when it is um yeah yeah same same vibe i mean it was written fine no problem with the writing there yeah the writing is the writing and structure are clean i have i think my only problem is i would like more to have happened yeah yeah but this is a no vote for me it's kind of neutral yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna have to be the same way because it's yeah it's it's well written it's just there's not a lot happening we need more author add more add more agenda okay man we're getting the uh not terribly long ones today yeah the next one's not long others i looked ahead and it's quite short it's got a cool cool little graphic thing going on i like it seven two hundred seven two hundred and the name of that one is boats with the lowercase boats with a hard stop at the end just boats like a lo-fi song just boats okay i apologize i'm gonna

found are also found originating from the ship containing a vocalization described by listeners as an unpleasant shrieking sound medic analysis does not find the audio signal to be anomalous but notes that there may be possible cognitive hazardous properties which are not preserved over radio several hours into the event the ship's transponder turns off at this point no vessel has been detectable through any known means and is effectively unrecoverable in the first year since the anomalies emergence in april 2016 the likelihood of an scp 7200 event affecting a vessel was approximately 0.006% per year since then the probability has been steadily increasing measured most recently as 0.072% per year in december of 2021 we've got three pictures here discovery scp 7200 occurrences during 2016

the comprised ship, compromise ship suddenly takes a sharp turn in front of the navy vessel vessel manages to avoid a collision but numerous shipping containers fall and land on the navy vessel damaging it is unable to sustain a chase and the container ship escapes. Two. Two navy vessels are straddling both sides of the container ship which then undergoes a SCP-7200 event. Foundation vessels give chase for two hours. The vessels then adopt a strategy of attempting to damage the compromise ship's navigational and proportional propulsion capabilities with limited success. After 11 further hours of continued pursuit, the ship escapes despite serious hull damage. Code name. Trojan Seahorse. I like it. Failure. Summary. 50 unmanned merchant vessels are purchased, loaded with conventional explosives and limited paranormal weaponry and deployed across the ocean. Ship computers are programmed to detect an SCP-7200 event and attempt to locate and destroy any anomalous objects present. Result. One such prepared vessel undergoes an SCP-7200 event. It then immediately fires all its weapons directly overhead, causing severe damage and resulting in the ship capsizing. Rescue teams are unable to prevent the vessel from sinking. Remaining vessels are quickly recalled. Code name. Sea Nuke. Denied. Vote vetoed by Overwatch Command. There. Code name. Convenient flag. Ongoing. Summary. Sea Below. Results. Loss of commercial vessels has been steadily declining over the implementation period. Addendum. 7200-2. Project Convenient Flag. The Foundation External Affairs and Intelligence Agency, after negotiation with the Panama Maritime Authority, established a special SCPF designation for a class of merchant ships registered in Panama. This class is available for containment use only and have relaxed requirements for vessel size, shape and build quality. As part of SCP-7200 containment operations, the Foundation has established four facilities in Panama. One registration depot, one hatchery, two farms with a combined approximate area of 150,000 meters squared. The fish production facilities are capable of raising tens of millions of oceanic fish annually. Within the registration depot, Foundation Maritime Inspectors oversee the registration of SCPF class merchant vessels. Due to the specific nature of this class, many steps in the registration of conventional merchant ships do not apply. It's a Wikipedia page for ship registration. For instance, ships have no requirement for safety or construction certificates due to their small size. As SCPF class vessels lack equipment for radio transmissions, signal suppression is unnecessary during SCP-7200 events. At maturity, fish are transported from farm facilities into the registration depot. In accordance with international maritime law, a Panamanian flag and the respective ship registration number are applied to each fish. Upon confirming the vessel's seaworthiness, the acting maritime inspector clears the fish for release into open ocean. Addendum 7200-3 Current Situation SCP-7200 events have continued to increase in frequency. However, due to the implementation of Project Communion Flag, more than 99.98% of merchant vessels in international waters are SCPF class, which has reduced the disappearance of civilian ships to less than 0.3 vessels per year. Pretty easy one, quick and to the point. I kind of like the painting the Panamanian flag on the fish. Also, we took over all of the world's maritime traffic, my bad. That's definitely a foundation solution, I will say. I like that they suggested nuking the ocean. Just a nuking the ocean. Yeah, that's funny. I like it. It's not though. It's well written. There was the an SCP. That format was kind of abandoned part of the way through. I noticed when they did like one of the later ones had an A in front of it, but it doesn't matter as a small thing. But everything else is well written. It's all good. It's funny. I like it. Thank you, SMLT. Good job, Smilt. I like the graphic. That's a good use of the graphic. Yeah, with the dots going on, I got to see that as I was catching up. And the fade between the tabs really helps the dots kind of fluidly come in. So that you know that they're changing. Yeah, it's nice. Very cool. That brings us to SCP 7046. Let's see what we're looking at over here. Yeah, I was going to say something, but I'll wait so we can go to the article. Okay, you know, I'll say it. We're powering through them. Powering through them. There's a couple of collapsibles, but this isn't so bad. The collapsibles make it bad. Oh yeah. No, I see that. Yeah. The last one was pretty bad. Shouldn't have said it. You're fine. I said it before. The previous article. That's true. The both of us tempted. Yeah. And I close these back up. Oh boy, indeed. Well, I'm optimistic. It's going to be a good story and it's going to be worth this. I think so. I'll be sure to help you out with that interview that's towards the end. Oh yeah. Positions.

administered class a amnestics and released or placed in indefinite containment at the discretion of the site director description SCP 7046 is a cell block in north lake corrections an abandoned corrections facility near Winnipeg Manitoba when the facility was in use SCP 7046 served as its low security wing north lake corrections was abandoned in October 1983 after a fire destroyed another cell block and heavily damaged the prison's administrative building SCP 7046 is anomalous properties of the result of thaumaturgic modification which occurred approximately six months prior to its discovery its plumbing and electrical systems are fully functional despite the building lacking any apparent source of water or electricity its exterior walls dampened sounds made inside the structure preventing them from being detected by observers outside these walls also display evidence of thaumaturgic modification which once imbued them with a cognitive hazardous effect that discourage observers from entering SCP 7046 however these modifications were deliberately disabled prior to the object's discovery and presently have no effect some cells inside SCP 7046 display no anomalous properties beyond those found throughout the structure they appear not to have been recently inhabited and their contents display damage and deterioration consistent with the object's 18 years of abandonment however at the time of SCP 7046's discovery 296 of its cells were fully furnished and had been subject to further thaumaturgic modifications these cells have been designated SCP 7046-1 instances of SCP 7046-1 are resistant to damage their walls floors ceilings and bars can withstand forces greater than 3000 newtons and are unaffected by both high caliber fire arms and light explosives at the time of SCP 7046's discovery 251 of the 296 SCP 7046-1 instances either appeared to have recently housed or still housed up to two human prisoners each such cell is furnished with a bunk bed a toilet a desk and a small television the other 45 cells had straw covering their floors and contained troughs for food and water these cells appear to have each housed a single bovine until shortly a single bovine until shortly before SCP 7046's discovery SCP 7046's mess hall houses SCP 7046-2 a large mechanical apparatus consisting of a 2000 liter tank a pump a large ring-shaped pipe a circular arrangement of seven altars and a disposal unit the pipe's interior is inscribed with thaumaturgic symbols footnote many of these symbols have previously been found at davite ritual sites oh pictured a corridor in SCP 7046 and the altars have been integrated into the structure of the pipe such that liquid circulating through it will make contact with them upon activation SCP 7046-2 will pump the contents of its tank into its pipe and circulate them seven times before diverting them into the disposal unit the apparatus's interior is stained with human and bovine blood DNA from which matches that of human and bovine subjects found on site at the time of the object's discovery at the time of discovery SCP 7046-2 disposal unit contained 2000 liters of a mixture of human blood bovine blood and water discovery on january 13th 2002 foundation agent embedded within a foundation agent embedded within local emergency services alerted the foundation to a call requesting medical attention for 110 persons located in SCP 7046 each of whom had experienced severe blood loss foundation agents including medical personnel were dispatched to secure the site when they arrived the site contained is a 515 human and 45 bovine subjects all but 12 of these human subjects were later identified as a missing person who had vanished from somewhere in North America during the previous six months footnote each of them had been last seen somewhere within 16 kilometers of SCP 1600 kilometers of SCP 7046 the remains of all 45 bovine subjects along with 405 of the human subjects were found near SCP 7046-2 and had been fully exsinguinated the remaining humans were found inside instances of SCP 7046-1 these subjects had also experienced significant blood loss of these 21 had expired prior to the arrival of foundation personnel and another three expired while in foundation custody the remaining subjects were successfully resuscitated and transported to site 63 for questioning the subjects accounts were largely concordant with one another and described them being abducted and held inside SCP 7046 by a small group of individuals who forcibly extracted blood from them at weekly intervals descriptions of this group's apparent leader match Cassidy Redwood a person of interest who was at large when SCP 7046 was discovered for transcripts of these interviews see interview log 7046-a upon the conclusion of their medical treatment survivors were treated with classy amnestics and returned to their families by the time treatment of survivors had concluded information leakage by Cassidy Redwood had made the public aware of many of the mundane facts surrounding their disappearances which forced the foundation to employ a cover story that was compatible with these elements therefore the survivors memory loss was explained by the claim that redwood had kept them in medically induced commas for the entirety of their captivity addendum 7046-1 on january 13th 2002 shortly before the discovery of SCP 7046 agent redacted an undercover agent embedded within group of interests 3088 the church of the second Hytoth alerted the foundation to a general notice issued to the group's members by its leadership a sidebar tangent great frickin reason to redact an agent name when they are hidden because they are undercover with a group of interest that I appreciate good job good job yeah show material all or or tothins here we regret to bring you grave and lamentable news church leadership has discovered that Cassidy Redwood I've I'm a priest of the Winnipeg or Tothin church has committed the greatest of blasphemies she has betrayed her office the church and the holy fourth by abducting hundreds of outsiders who she is holding in an unknown location so she may harvest their unwilling blood for blasphemous sacrifice her guilt is not in doubt less than one year ago miss redwood petition church leadership for assistance with a ritual that would have required recurring blood offerings by just over 500 participants in the month since she was denied or tothin blood for this purpose a pattern of disappearances has afflicted a large area centered around Winnipeg these vanishings have been too similar to lack a common cause most victims have been young men every victim has lived alone and all have disappeared from their home during the night leaving no sign of a struggle however the large size of the area in which the vanishings have taken place precludes the idea that their common cause is mundane when a band of warriors arrived at the Winnipeg or Tothin church with orders to detain in question miss redwood they found that she had fled after receiving advanced warning of their approach the church regards this flight as an admission of guilt Cassidy Redwood is to be regarded as a traitor blasphemer and a fugitive all the faithful are directed to provide any information they possess which might aid in her apprehension and are warned that all who aid or shelter her will join her in receiving the church's justice may the fourth be eternal coru arch priest Thera Antius immediately after agent redacted reported this message to site director forester mobile task force omega 22 code name clotting agents was mobilized to locate and apprehend her shortly after interrogations of the survivors from scp 7046 began site director forester noted the apparent relevance of this notice to scp 7046 addendum 7046-2 recovered materials on january 14th 2002 agent redacted was instructed to infiltrate Cassidy Redwood's office at the Winnipeg or Tothin church in hopes of obtaining clues as to her whereabouts he succeeded obtaining several documents and accessing redwood's computer onset computer agent redacted found records of correspondence between Cassidy Redwood and group of interest 3088's leadership a selection of these materials is presented below those wishing to access other materials recovered from redwood's office should contact site director forester show recovered materials date january 5th 2001 from redwood Cassidy at second height of org regarding proposal venerable leaders i hope this finds you well and i thank you for your willingness to hear my proposal as requested i am sending a written outline of said proposal ahead of my presentation on january 10th as you examine this material you will no doubt note that my proposal is radical and ambitious however desperate times call for desperate measures and we are currently living through the most desperate times in the history of our universe the death of the holy six has left the universe with only one protector against the vortoat threat placing it in greater peril than it has ever faced the ritual i have designed to reverse this situation is beyond question ambitious however it is also the culmination of months of intense study calculation and experimentation which demonstrate that its efficacy should be carried out is equally beyond question only now that i can demonstrate its effectiveness with such certainty do i dare present it to church leadership as you have requested the body of this email contains only a summary of the proposal but i have attached a larger document which outlines its extensive theoretical basis footnote personnel with level three clearance or hire may request access to any document mentioned in these materials resurrection of the dead is a long solve problem in the field of magic it is simply a matter of collecting life energy and channeling it into the remains of the entity you wish to raise even a novice mage can resurrect an insect by donating a small amount of their own life energy to it human resurrection requires more life energy than a single mage can safely donate but it can be accomplished by pulling donations from many people to be sure the gulf between a human and a god is far greater than that between an insect and a human but this does not make the resurrection of a god impossible it only increases the amount of energy it requires it might be said that the purpose of the ortauthan religion is to donate life energy in the form of blood to the holy seven to forestall their deaths altering our rights so they reverse death merely requires us to alter them to match existing resurrection rituals and increase the amount of energy offered the ritual live design does precisely these things and when enacted it will restore your unlucent of life and return her to her full glory as stated a full technical explanation of this ritual and the reasoning behind it may be found in the attached document as demonstrated in said document a naive attempt to adapt known rituals to this project would require redacted limit leaders of human blood an amount which could only be safely extracted from 100 million people obtaining a sacrifice of that size is likely beyond our means however while researching the matter I have discovered several ways to amplify the power of blood sacrifice so that a smaller offering might be sufficient to empower my ritual some of these methods may also be ways of increasing the efficacy of routine sacrifices but I leave that matter to be explored later along with the possibility that similar rituals might be attempted to raise the other five fallen members of core utusa through consultation of various texts including treatise on blood and life and magical applications of bloodletting a sineth sineth sinethies why you don't know how to say that word right now synthesis synthesis a synthesis of diverse thoughts I have discovered a method of recharging already offered blood with fresh life energy so it may be offered again such recharged blood is less effective than fresh fresh blood and it becomes less and less effective it is recharged and reoffered repeatedly however this process can still multiply the effectiveness of a blood offering by more than an order of magnitude my calculations show that blood may be reused on seven alters seven times each before it no longer provides any additional benefit this reduces the amount of blood required to perform the ritual to about redacted leaders which could be safely extracted from slightly more than four million people this alone makes the ritual possible for the church to perform with its current membership by use of alters made from magically significant material including redacted as is already done for some significant rituals the effectiveness of sacrifices may be increased further reducing the required amount to redacted leaders which could safely be extracted from 30 000 people I have developed a technique to split the ritual into 14 stages each of which would call for a portion of the required offering by performing these stages at weekly intervals ample time for its blood donors to recover the number of people required to safely perform the ritual may be reduced to 4 000 standard practice forbids the blood of non-sentient creatures from being used in ortonthen rituals as it empowers holy seven in a distorted way however lifting these restrictions and using bovine blood for a portion of the offering would make the ritual practical with a smaller number of human participants this may cause intellectual deficits in the ritual's target but done in moderation would still leave her with superhuman intelligence likely making it a trivial for him to reverse these deficits footnote in ortonthen mythology the divinus said to transcend gender consequently ortathans often switch rapidly between pronouns referring to their gods at my suggested ratio this would allow for the ritual to employ the blood of 516 people and 45 adult bovines none of whom would be lastingly harmed once again I recognize the ambitiousness of this project but I hope this outline in the attached document demonstrate that it is the product of careful calculation not blind optimism I further hope church leadership regarded as worthy as of their serious consideration and approval the universe cannot be left with only a single protector we must use any available means to restore the ranks of the holy seven so they may continue their holy work may the seven be eternal ivymact priest cassidy redwood date january 15 2001 from aunties fair at second height off to redwood cassidy at second height off regarding your proposed ritual hello believer we thank you for the time and effort that went into the proposal you presented on wednesday your presentation and the extensive calculations that accompanied it clearly show that your proposal is far more than a passing whim we do not doubt that it is born from sincere and admirable concern for the church the holy seven and the height off they protect we have reached our decision only after a long and detailed analysis of your calculations including a review of the theoretical materials you cited a detailed account of this analysis is attached to this email unfortunately that analysis revealed several conceptual failings in your ritual which lead us to believe it would be ineffective your calculations severely underestimate the amount of life energy required to resurrect a being of your and lucen's power they also assume that restoring minimal vital activity to the six would allow them to heal the remaining damages themselves with their own magic but it is more likely that the energy would simply leak back out of her just as it would if you were to infuse an anomal analogously minuscule amount of energy into a dead human furthermore the techniques by which you mean to recharge and reoffer blood are derived from davite text whose magical theory is not applicable to our rights indeed the resurrection ritual you have adapted was likewise designed for vulgar blood magic which may negate rather than modify the auto than right you mean to pair it with worse still your proposal to use bovine blood is contrary to the church's ethical principles as no non-sentient animal could ever be said to willingly offer its blood you were right to speculate that the improvements you propose if effective would be applicable to the church's routine sacrifices indeed if said improvements were effective they would have been used in senator toughen's right since the beginning of our religion they have not been because they are not effective therefore we regret to inform you of our unanimous decision not to allocate any resources to your project we understand this is likely disappointing and we emphasize that we do not mean to insult or dismiss the work and expertise that went into your proposal you were right to regard the present situation as dire but extra danger calls for extra caution the fourth requires our help more than ever before and we will not suspend regular offerings to her so they may be diverted to an unethical project where they would most likely be wasted thank you for understanding may the fourth be eternal date january 15 2001 redwood casady to aunties fairer regarding regarding your proposed ritual venerable leaders i'm indeed disappointed by your decision i wish you had contacted me about some of these alleged flaws in my calculations prior to the conclusion of your deliberations as i believe i could have resolved them to your satisfaction indeed a document to that effect is attached to this email that said i respect your decision and its finality and will not contact you further about this matter may the seven be eternal i've i'm act priest casady redwood date february 11th from glenn marcus shawnd second high top to redwood casady at second high top regarding inquiries regarding your proposal hello believer i am contacting you because i received inquiries from members of your congregation which indicate that you requested for their assistance in performing a ritual similar to the one you presented that to church leadership on january 10th as you'll recall that proposal was rejected by the council of church leaders including myself to whom it was presented i'm writing to clarify the previous rejection happening apparently not been sufficiently stern that you are forbidden from pursuing this or any other similar project in any capacity any further attempt on your part to arrange for your ritual to be carried out will be met with disciplinary action the loss of the holy six has been trying for all of us and i know that it has been especially trying for you but you must not allow your grief to lead you to foolhardy and unethical behavior the church and i are here to support you as we all endure this loss if there's anything we can do to help you do not hesitate to ask however the matter of your ritual is settled and i expect to hear nothing more about it may the fourth be eternal grand i'm act priest shon glenn marcus date february 11 2001 from redwood cassidy to glenn marcus shon regarding regarding increase regarding your proposal venerable leader i cannot deny that i have discussed my ritual with members of my congregation leadership's original response stated only that the church would not would devote no resources to the project you must forgive me for failing to infer that i was forbidden to pursue it in any capacity furthermore with all due respect i am not sure that you have the authority to issue that prohibition my blood and that of members of your congregation is ours to give and withhold as we please by what authority do you forbid us to use it for my ritual if we wish my actions have made no use of church resources or my position is i've i'm act priest i have merely approached people i know and requested they assist me with a personal project if you could cite the bylaws which empower you to play police such purely individual actions i would greatly appreciate it may the seven be eternal i've i'm act priest cassidy redwood date february 12 2001 from glenn marcus shon at second height off to redwood cassidy at second height off regarding regarding regarding inquiries regarding your proposal don't play games cassie your project involves the sacrifice of unwilling blood and is therefore contrary to our faith's most basic ethical principles just as you would not be permitted to offer unwilling human blood even if you did so in a way that utilize no church resources you are not permitted to offer unwilling bovine blood your proposal was not rejected capriciously the technical details of it of why it would not work were thoroughly explained to you and i know you are more than proficient enough in magical theory to understand them i mean gods cassie davite texts animal blood our initial response to your proposal was polite and formal and it appears that this prevented us from communicating our disgust with what you were suggesting allow me to rectify that by speaking more bluntly your proposal is absurd in theory blasphemous in practice i understand you've not been around second messenger enough to be able to read his body language footnote the extraterrestrial missionary responsible for introducing the ortauthan religion to earth but as someone who can let me inform you that he was barely containing his rage the entire time you were speaking at the second at the beginning of our deliberations i alone did not wish to discipline you simply for proposing what you had but for my advocacy for you as a former apprentice and personal friend of mine you would have lost your position as ivy mac priest and possibly been stripped of priesthood all together your proposal will not be entertained further and if you take the slightest further movement toward it you will not retain your position i know you are grieving we all are you're born with the sex and your passion for the arcane arts of which he was patron exceeded that of anyone i have ever known him that is precisely why the sloppiness and wishful thinking in your proposal are so beneath you as have been your childish attempts to circumvent the church's decision on this matter if you need additional time away from your duties to mourn this six's loss i will happily grant it other than that i expect to hear nothing more about any of this may the fourth be eternal grand ivy mac priest shon glenn marcus date february 13th from redwood castley at second high tawth to glenn marcus shon at second high tawth regarding regarding regarding regarding inquiries regarding your proposal blasphemous really i am baffled by how you can come to that conclusion my proposal is the exact opposite of blasphemous it is a perfect example of what ortophan's are supposed to do we offer blood to keep the korutuzna alive so they can protect the universe that is exactly what i want to do offer ortophan blood to restore your own loosens ability to protect the universe i recognize that the use of animal blood is outside the bounds of what we would normally accept i included it in my proposal because i believe the urgency of our situation justifies such a compromise but i respect your desire to adhere to standard guidelines and the use of animal blood in my ritual can be avoided by using 4 000 humans instead of 500 that's greater than the membership of my congregation but it is far from unachievable by contrast what is it that you plan to do about the death of the holy sixth accept it go on is it or merely an occasion for grief helplessly watch the universe spiral toward its inevitable end this is not just about the holy six though her loss alone is so incomprehensibly tragic as to justify drastic action the more important point is that the lifespan of this universe has been counting down from seven since it began it's hit every number quicker than it hit the last it is now hit one how long do you think we have before it hits zero the fourth alone will not triumph where he and his six divine siblings could not regardless of how many times we wish him to be eternal he is not predestined to succeed to speak as though she is distorts the core of the artuthan faith we do not worship the holy seven because they will succeed we worship the holy seven so that they will succeed you are deluding yourself if you think our routine offerings are still enough to ensure that success if they were they would have kept the holy six alive just six months ago you along with the rest of the church routinely said may the seven be eternal perhaps we shouldn't give up on that i do not mean to be insubordinate and i will not act against your direct orders but i beg you to reconsider them the fate of the universe may depend on my ritual please let us reach some compromise that allows me to perform it may the seven be eternal i've i'm a priest kassidy redwood date

believer you are suspended from your duties as i've i'm a priest for 30 days i do not intend this as a punishment i take this action out of concern not anger unless you prefer otherwise i intend to lead the rest of the church to believe that you were chosen to take additional time off to grieve the six's death whether you realize that or not you clearly need more time the degree of despair you have expressed is contrary to the core of our faith you are right to say that loss of the six is a tragedy beyond comprehension but we are otothans or tawthans do not despair hope is the beginning of action it lies at the core of every warrior's heart the loss of the six has clearly extinguished your hope and you are unfit to be lead be lead other or tawthans until you reignite it reflect travel

seven warriors arrived at the winnipeg arthuthan church earlier today with instructions to question you regarding the recent spate spate of disappearances centered on winnipeg despite the fact that morning ritual was ongoing you departed unexpectedly shortly before their arrival i'm sure you know how that looks the rest of the church's leadership is certain of your guilt i alone maintain hope that you might be innocent i want to believe it could be a coincidence the vanishings are centered around you that they began shortly after you were denied or taught them blood for your blasphemous ritual and that they ceased after a number of victims consistent with that what your final ritual required you are the most zealous believer i know i may have brought you into the faith but i have often looked to your further fervor for inspiration i do not want to believe you are capable of abducting and imprisoning hundreds of innocents so you could harvest their unwilling blood if you have not done so if there is some explanation for all of this that leaves your hands spotless please come to my temple in ontario and explain yourself i swear on the name of the fourth i will do everything in my power to prevent you from being wrongly punished if on the other hand things are as they appear then you must likewise surrender yourself to me i know that you are at your core a good person and

police station in winnipeg upon arrival redwood confessed to the abductions and murders associated with scp 7046 though her confession omitted the anomalous aspects of her crimes embedded spelled i am foundation agents immediately transferred her to site 63 for questioning show interview 7046 dash b all right so you take the doctor i'll keep cassidy sure begin log january 16th 2002 400 hours 59 minutes please introduce yourself i'm cassidy redwood until recently i was the ivy mac priest for the winnipeg ortothan church and you were responsible for the thumb of tragic modifications uh to northlake corrections including the machine inside yep that was me and it was also you who populated the prison with civilians also me why nothing too glamorous i was just trying to save the universe now are you going to do that how well do you know the ortothan religion i'm familiar then you know what happened back in 2000 the death of youan lucin yes a warrior mage of unrivaled knowledge and power one of the wisest and most courageous beings in the universe and one of the few guardians standing between it and an utter annihilation like other warriors before her she died in battle her death left the universe with too little protection i was trying to change that by bringing her back and you hoped to you hoped the human sacrifice you performed would accomplish this i guess i did why did you gather blood in a way so at odds with orthonian teachings well that wasn't exactly my original plan what was your original plan to get the blood from willing ortothans how did you get from that to what you did i guess it started when the sixth died we'd known for weeks something bad was happening she was getting hungrier for blood what do you mean you can use magic to detect the life energy in blood if you do that to an offering that's just been given you can watch the energy drain away as one of the holy seven claims it how quickly they claims it tells claim it tells you how hungry they are it's like you're watching someone eat a plate of food if they aren't that hungry they might take their time with it savor it maybe take bites here and there while they're doing something else if they're hungry they'll eat faster if they're starving they'll shovel it down their throat as fast as they can that's what the six was doing around the end of august offerings that normally take several seconds to consume would disappear in an instant this wasn't the first time we'd seen that it's what happens when the gods are in battle they need blood in the first place because their bodies constantly bleed when their enemies are wounding them they bleed more than usual which makes them need more blood and how often does this happen they're warriors they do battle all the time that's why we didn't think much of it at first we increased our sacrifices incurred and encouraged the flock to direct more to the six but that's all we just thought it was another battle i wish i'd known i didn't give anything to have known which prayer would be the last one there's so much i would have said i didn't though i just said the same prayer i'd said every night for the last 20 years then at 3 a.m i was awoken by a call from shawn he told me that the six had gone from devouring his offerings to ignoring them i didn't believe him until i pricked my finger on my own altar to check he was right the energy just lay there wasted even after seeing that i didn't accept the six was dead there was a conference call the next day that included a lot of the ivy mac priests in canada i was the only one arguing that we should maintain hope that the six was alive i didn't think we should announce anything to the lady and i argued we should continue sacrifices to the six in case she was behaving oddly because she was in a difficult situation i was outvoted the church announced the six's death later that day in order that all sacrifices be directed to the fourth it took me a long time to accept that she was really gone i attended but did not meet the memorial ceremony at my church the next week while everyone else was grieving i held out hope that the six was alive what convinced you otherwise the fact that she kept rejecting sacrifices there could have been a reason to do that for a day or two but not for weeks eventually i had to accept the obvious yoran lucen was dead and that meant the universe was doomed how does that follow there was only one god left alone in a battle that had already claimed six others how long could it be before he fell to or tothins are supposed to be stalwart to never let our hope falter even in the face of incomprehensible tragedy in front of my congregation i spoke and acted as if despite what had happened to all of our comrades the fourth would be eternal i don't know how i said it with a straight face for billions of years or tothins have incessantly wished for our gods to be eternal even as they perished one by one why should the fourth be any different i couldn't just cling to the delusion that everything would work out the fact is without the sixth the fourth isn't going to last much longer and once he dies the universe will too knowing that that everything and everyone around me would soon be devoured by the vortuit was a kind of hell everything i did felt empty nothing i made no one i helped nothing i learned would last long enough to mean anything i asked shawn to give me some time off to process things and he was very understanding i took october and november off it was during that time the idea of resurrecting the sixth first occurred to me it's quite a goal sorry i thought so too i tried to sell myself it was just wishful thinking that i'd be better off moving on but how could i move on how could i just ignore what was going to happen at first i just hoped someone else would do it they're countless or tothin civilizations in the universe most of them larger than primitives like us can imagine i told myself one of them must have the knowledge and resources to bring her back that didn't happen though week after week passed and nothing changed after a few months i realized that if some far off or tothin civilization was going to do it they would have by now that's where a reasonable person would have let it go they would have accepted that if countless galaxies full of super advanced aliens couldn't bring the six back i couldn't either i wasn't reasonable though i was drowning in grief and like anyone who's drowning i grasped at anything i could use to pull myself back up so before i gave up on the idea i decided to work through the problem myself and see what i could come up with told myself i was just trying to prove it was impossible so i could stop thinking about it now it was bullshit though i was hoping to find exactly what i did you found it was possible if you have some if you make some very very generous assumptions and have access to more blood than i had any hope of obtaining yes it should be theoretically be possible to restore enough vitality to the six that he might be able to heal himself the rest of the way with his own magic i should have given up when i saw i'd need a hundred million people to do it but that was still more hope than i'd had since he died so before i abandoned the idea i decided to see if i could find a way to reduce the amount of blood required i pour through every book i own silently begging to find something that could help and eventually i thought i had in fact i thought i'd found several ways of making set my sacrifices more efficient which i could stack on top of each other to decrease the amount of blood i needed to a manageable level i was as ecstatic when i did the calculations with just a few hundred people and a few dozen cows working together for 14 weeks i could bring the six back i took it to the church right away some of what i wanted to do was against the normal rules and some of my sources were unsavory but i thought they would see the necessity of the project and be willing to look past that but they weren't even if they had been willing oops even if they had been willing to look past the animal blood they thought my ritual wouldn't work i guess they've been vindicated on that front maybe i should have known i'm not some amateur mage every reason they gave her why it wouldn't work was something i knew about and thought i'd solved looking back i feel like some part of me knew better but that's probably just hindsight at the time i thought my doubts were just anxiety about the grandeur of what i was attempting i was surprised when leadership turned me down what did they do and what did you do after they did first i tried to find ways around their decision strictly speaking the refusal to dedicate any resources to my project just meant i couldn't order my congregation to assist me with my ritual i could still try to find 515 other or tophans who would do it as a personal favor to me i started asking around several of my friends agreed to help but most people were confused as to why such an important project were being managed by me and not church leadership some of them asked Sean about it and he was mad that i tried to go behind his back he told me to abandon any attempt to carry out the ritual i told him i would but i didn't i just started to make sure i was alone with people when i asked them and i wiped their memory if they said no got a few more co-conspirators that way i wasn't the only one who was worried about whether the fourth would be able to defend the universe on her own for the most part though i lost people once i told them my plan had to be secret because church leadership had rejected it people assumed leadership knew better than i did where did that leave you depressed hopeless sure the universe was going to be destroyed because of the church's decision then one day i was while i was driving home from the ritual i had a thought that reignited my hope the church aren't the only people in the world every day i was surrounded by people who thanks to you and yours had been denied access to anything supernatural their world is as blank and meaningless as mine felt devoid of real magic and true gods to them problems that i could wish away in an instant are life-ruining are life-ending ending crises ones that they would do anything to get out of i decided i'd find people outside the veil who desperately needed something only magic could give them and offer them those things in exchange for their blood that's in contrast with your church's general policy regarding the veil that's actually debatable we're allowed to approach individuals and try to bring them to the faith and once we've begun that process with someone we can do magic in front of them i certainly planned on trying to convert my clients once i was done with my rituals so technically i was allowed to tell them what i needed to tell them i picked people who i thought be able to keep a secret a lot of them were in professions that involve secrecy of some kind lawyers doctors police priests that kind of thing and of course i told all of them to keep quiet about their interactions with me i hope that would be enough to offer them healing magic mostly most of them were terminally ill or had family who are if you have the kinds of skills i have and are willing to burn through your life savings buying ritual components you can heal just about anything are you able to get all the volunteers you needed no i got close i would have been able to if it were just a matter of finding people who would take the deal not the process of approaching someone explaining everything to them and persuading them to accept my offer took time and things went wrong before i was able to get the people i needed how did they go wrong they couldn't keep their mouth shut actually that's not fair most of them could it's just that most wasn't enough several of them recommended my miracle working services to desperate people they knew that was annoying but on its own it was manageable i even recruited a few of those people however things sort of go downhill when one of them mentioned me online he tried to be vague he just said that people with no other option should go to winnipeg to find a miracle worker i doubt anyone on the wrong side of the veil believed it but you noticed it or at least i assumed it was you at the time you i assume sent someone posing as a paranormal investigator to visit the man who'd made that most footnote this description matches actions undertaken by agent redacted redacted on june 10th 2001 fortunately i'd anticipated that you might show up and i'd already coached him on what to say muted again this is a long one i was like trying to find my place i scrolled down to see where it was uh what did you tell them to say you seem to buy it at least for the moment after that incident i had stern talks with everyone i tried to stress that there were people who wouldn't like what i was doing and that drawing your attention would keep me from helping them it was almost enough another one of my clients was a woman whose son was dying of leukemia the doctors had given him less than a year to live and he hadn't taken his prognosis well but she wanted to see her son happy again so she told him that i was going to heal him knowledge of my existence spread to his entire support group the next time they met his mother called me as soon as she learned and i went into a mad dash to keep everyone quiet by bringing the rest of the kids families in on my deal i got to all of them in time barely fortunately i had something to offer them exchange for their silence looking back i had the situation handled at that point maybe if i kept on course everything would have been would have turned out a lot better at the time though that incident made me think i wouldn't be able to keep my recruits quiet for long enough to complete my ritual to keep anything like that from happening again i added a clause to my deal that required everyone to move to a secluded location where they'd be cut off from anyone they could gossip to your prison yeah i didn't use a prison because i wanted to keep people there against their will i just used the nearest abandoned building that could house hundreds of people i made it as comfortable as i could my clients weren't happy about this alteration in my deal but none of them were in any position to refuse i should have had that in my deal from the beginning maybe that would have made things turn out better unfortunately i didn't think about until you take a notice of me once and you hadn't forgotten about the man who made that post when he with a bunch of other people near Winnipeg who were terminally ill or had residents who were suddenly disappeared to an undisclosed location for several weeks you noticed you arrived in force and started combing the Winnipeg area i knew you would find my prison there's no way you wouldn't check a building so well suited to what i was doing my only option was to make it look normal by the time you got there fortunately i hadn't assembled my machine but i still had to move hundreds of people out of my prison i had no other safe place to move them to and even if i did i couldn't have brought them there without you noticing the only place i could send them was back home of course not long after i did that you'd interrogate them and i wouldn't be able to coach hundreds of people well enough that they could fool you my solution was to wipe their memories of me before i sent them back i believe i remember the incident you're talking about the people who'd vanished suddenly returned home and their illnesses have been cured yep i healed them before sending them back i hoped you'd have a hard time covering that up i wanted to make you as busy as possible so you didn't have time to look for me at least that was my excuse i think the truth is i couldn't bear to let them die after knowing them for months especially the kids excuse or not it worked your efforts to create the appearance that they'd been misdiagnosed thanks for not just killing them by the way bought me time and when a squad of agents finally did scope out my prison it looked just like it should i had to re-enchant it after they left but that was the least of my problems now i was back to square one of my search for blood i thought about starting over working to find a new set of clients maybe from a larger area but it was too late for that you'd have already made the connection between winnipeg and mysterious long vacations taken by terminally ill people and their relatives even if i teleported all over north america to find new clients you'd know where to look for me why draw from a limited radius at all have you ever cast a teleportation spell my strain to get as far as i did in any case pulling from a larger area wasn't enough anymore i had to find some other way of recruiting people something that would look different enough to you that you wouldn't realize it was connected to what i've been doing before also because i've gone through with the healing everyone i'd use up the ritual components i'd bought i didn't have the money to buy that many again for days i tried to think of an alternative to what i wound up doing but i couldn't only desperate people would agree to spend months living in an abandoned prison and that was precisely who i couldn't work with anymore my only remaining option was not to give people a choice so you didn't i was only planning to keep them until i finished my ritual being confined to themselves for a few months would be pleasant with them but neither would be the destruction of the universe i hope that when i was done and i could explain everything to them they would understand oh there you why not tell them before then the last thing that would have done is comfort them at best they think i was crazy at worst they believe i was harvesting their blood to resurrect a strange god and they judge that god by my actions once the ritual was done though once they'd seen your unloosen's full glory up close they'd know she was good even if i wasn't she might have even apologized to them herself she'd certainly have been mortified by how i brought her back why didn't that stop you because if i didn't do it the universe would be destroyed if i had to give up my place in ita to stop that from happening it was worth it you said earlier that you said earlier that your ritual was supposed to span 14 weeks correct yes according to the survivors didn't take just blood from them for 14 weeks you took it weekly throughout the time you held them i did why to offer it to the fourth their bodies were going to make it anyway and my morality was already compromised so it would have been wasteful not to take it i started the actual ritual in mid-december once i'd finally gotten the 503 captives i needed while i got through the first four stages without any problems but on the day i was supposed to perform the fifth my luck ran out the church discovered what i was doing how did that happen the disappearances i caused followed an identifiable pattern the church weren't the only ones who noticed and they were nervous about the fact that it was happening in the part of the world where they're most active why did that make you nervous why did that make them nervous partly because they were worried some of their enemies could be responsible and partly because they were afraid or you would the goc would blame them for it those are excuses of course they really just wanted to protect innocent people so they assembled a team to investigate the matter and it only took them a few months to figure me out they sent a group of warriors to apprehend me while i was leading ritual one of my co-conspirators warned me of their approach so i wasn't captured then and there but now the church was hunting me i had powerful magic to help me hide but they had equally powerful magic to help them find me i knew i had about a day before they found my prison once that happened they would arrive in force imprison or kill me and my accomplices destroy my machine and send my victims home all hope for my ritual and with it the universe would be lost that meant i needed 10 times as much blood as i'd plan to take for my prisoners at any one time there was no way to get that much without killing most of them i was horrified when i realized that but it didn't even question whether i'd do it some of the others needed convincing but not me it would have been selfish to let the universe be destroyed just to keep the blood of a few hundred people off my hands so you didn't intend for any of the partially drained subjects to die of course not wait did some of them 24 of them did no no that you damn it i must have taken more blood than i meant to did your accomplices participate in the killings there was a short panic discussion about whether they would go through with it but it didn't take long for us to come to a consensus they believed as fervently as i did that this was necessary to save the universe and every single one of them blessed their souls agreed to be fully drained for the ritual by dying themselves each of them allowed me to spare one extra captive i would have done the same but i had to be alive and conscious to perform the ritual which limited how much blood i could give how are the murders carried out first we had to get some equipment we needed exsanguinating someone completely requires special tools which we hadn't known we'd need i made trips to a hospital a slaughterhouse and a funeral home to steal what i needed after that we killed the cows one by one we led them to our machine knocked them out injected them with an anti coagulant strung them up cut them open and drain them it was the same thing you would have done if you were going to use their meat once they were drained we just left them up in the corner of the room the cows got harder to manage as the bodies piled up cows are smarter than most people get them credit for they know when they're being led to the slaughter still that was the easy part the hard part came next by the time we went upstairs to get our the first of our human sacrifices they'd been waiting on us for hours they were more confused and afraid and the first pair cooperated with us as we led them downstairs just like the cows they didn't realize what we had in mind until they saw the pile of bodies next to the machine one of them asked if we were going to kill them before i could lie one of my accomplices said yes do you know what it's like to have someone beg you for their life yes of course i forgot who i was talking to my apologies still you're the sort of person who would accept a job at the scp foundation imagine if your job was supposed to be to save people point is once they started begging i was desperate to shut them up i started by shouting at them which made them quieter but not quiet by the time we got to the top of the stairs that led to my intake pipe i couldn't take it anymore in a desperate attempt to soothe my conscious i did something i'd already decided i wouldn't do i tried to explain why their deaths were for the greater good god i'm an idiot of course they thought i was insane one of my comrades tried to prove otherwise by casting a spell in front of them which just made them think we were maniacs with magical powers it was a sleeping spell that finally shut them up i should have done that before i even brought them downstairs we injected their unconscious bodies with the anticoagulant sliced open their aorta aorta's and bled them until they died once their heart stopped pushing their blood out we pumped water through their circulatory system to flush out the rest we couldn't let any of it go to waste when we were done we went out to get our next pair of victims the screaming they'd heard didn't make them eager to come downstairs but this time i did what i should have done i put them to sleep before i even opened their cell that was what i did going forward before i even opened the cell door i would knock out whoever i was going to take some of them begged to know what was going on but i'd learned my lesson i didn't tell them anything once we'd fully drained everyone we intended to we went back up for the rest of the blood we needed how did you decide which ones to kill age we spared the youngest ones draining them wasn't any different of how we'd been doing it until then except we left the needle in longer of course having leaders of blood taking from you was a bit less pleasant than losing a spoonful or so so i had trouble convincing some of them that i wasn't bleeding them dry but i could at least rest easy knowing i wasn't except for a few dozen of them i guess in any case when i was done with all my prisoners i drained my friends if i were a better person the fact that they were willing to would have made me that the easiest part but it didn't most of them had been my friends for decades i'd known four of them since before shan brought me into the faith i'd known one of them since he was a child i converted several of them they'd still be living normal lives outside the veil if it weren't for me and i hadn't just killed them i corrupted them first made them into kidnappers and murderers with no itaught to look forward to i had no choice though the fate of the universe was more important yoren lucen was more important once they were all dead i let some of my own blood into the machine then turned it on for over an hour the blood of my victims circulated over my altars while i posed enchanted to direct their life energy to whatever remained of yoren lucen when i was done i called ambulances for my living victims and disabled the ruin work i'd done to keep people from entering the building i settled in to wait for my work to pay off i truly believed that yoren lucen was minutes away from appearing in his full glory you must have expected her to be furious why didn't you flee i thought about it there wasn't any point in the likely event yoren lucen would want to punish me there'd be nothing i could do to get away from her also i wanted to see the culmination of my work what i'd accomplish would rewrote the history of the universe trillions of trillions of ortothans would learn about it and for all they condemned my methods they'd rejoice that i'd brought the holy six back to life i stood in front of my machine waiting for the six to appear it waited and waited and as i did i slowly painfully came to realize that i had waited too long where was yoren lucen could i have been wrong that she would manifest here maybe she'd woken up in her body wherever the fourth had interred it i checked the blood in my machine for life energy if my ritual had worked it should have been gone it wasn't none of it had been claimed i thought about running my machine again but the ambulance cycle would arrive before i could finish my ritual again in any case i knew i had done it correctly i had practiced it every day for months i scanned my offering a few more times as if that could change something it didn't i grabbed some paper from the other room folded it into a small altar to the sixth prit and pricked my finger to see if a new offering would be taken in it wasn't i tried again nothing i kept doing it squeezing my finger to get more blood onto the altar and scanning it as i did nothing changed my the sacrifices weren't being claimed there was no yoren lucen to claim them my ritual hadn't raised her it didn't seem to have done anything at all after everything i'd done i had nothing to show for it but hundreds of corpses i might have stood there forever trying again and again to give a drop of blood to the sixth but those ambulances were coming and i decided i should get out of there before i was seen with the bodies where did you go i just wandered around for a few days processing what had happened what i'd done eventually i decided to turn myself into the police why because i'm a murderer because i prefer to it to facing the church because my victims and their families deserve closure they don't have much time left anything i can do to make the rest of it easier i owe them why don't they have much time left that's the worst part of all this after everything i've done the universe is still doomed we have 10 maybe 15 years left possibly less certainly not more the things that lurk outside the cosmos will burrow in and devour it the last of the korotusa will fall and the second hytoth will be lost nothing i did change that now nothing will end the log january 16th 2002 500 hours 26 minutes addendum 7046-4 on january 18th 2002 castity retwood self-terminated by

by 2040 that was a long one i've got i've got feelings but you go first well no yes so there's a lot of a lot of goodness article a lot of really good stuff in this article i feel like it didn't need to be anywhere near as long as it is but there's a lot of stuff to enjoy i like that the good definitely dragged a little bit definitely dragged for sure you could completely cut that interview and lose almost nothing exactly that could be like a supplement i was so stoked reading the glenn marcus and cassidy go back and forth and in the scene where glenn marcus says you didn't and with everything we had read about the prison before everything in that interview was already in my head like i didn't all i didn't know the only information that gave me is that it made cassidy like not the worst person until she was like still bad like yeah i was healing people and the people i took were terminally ill and i was helping them until i wasn't anymore yeah i thought that was a weird shift because it really made it seem like you were trying to sympathize with the character and then she was like but i couldn't hide it anymore so i thought maybe i just might as well be the villain everyone wants you to be you know and so man oh man uh if that because when we got at the very start when i saw that picture which is there's some good pictures in here oh yeah for sure that uh that prison picture hallway i love that that's gorgeous i wonder where that is uh because it's old and windy and the colors are great um and then the description of the prison wonderful the idea of why the church is the way it is i don't necessarily know why some of the things are but hey it's a magic prison at this point make it what it's gotta be exactly and then we get the back and forth and like god i was so stoked with everything until we hit the interview yeah we hit the interview and this immediately just crashed i was no longer involved i lost the will to act yeah no i fell yeah i was the same thing so much fun you were you were monologue and like that character was going on and on and on and and cassidy's voice got so much more casual and like in the letters i guess it was because she was talking to church people she had this like formality and like this right like dignity dignification yeah and then the very first thing she says in her interview is yep it's me that was me it's the second thing she says and she's like oh now it's just like sarcastic prison person i don't know yeah dude like take take that interview out i do want something more to like call it a final story right but i want like a result or a failure and like an after thing i don't need to be told what everything previous told me i need more or yeah exactly yeah so it's a really big issue is a lot of repetition of the exposition you already knew and one or the other like committing unaliving in prison afterwards being being caught cool i like that as a detail the final addendum that the thomatology is decaying if that is a uh if that is a note that the world is going to end in 2040 because the magic of the high taut is fading that i dig it it's a good detail but again especially with how strong everything before that uh i probably would even like it i probably would even like it if i were not for that freaking interview yeah yeah uh yeah i mean great great use of high taut stuff as you said it just yeah it needs it needs a a lot taken out i think even if you put it in as a supplement you could do that you could get extra upvotes i don't care do whatever you want to do put it in the supplement but it may buy the articles not necessary not necessary that is oh god i don't even know how to vote on that because i was so high and then i was so low yeah i think i'm leaning towards an upvote but it needs to be addressed it's at 10 like it's you know it's suffering it's suffering i'll i'll i'll boost it my upvote because what wasn't there that i like was really good and the rest is confident if not just a drag yes yes i agree but author i'm begging you parse down or completely please interview please please not unnecessary i mean the story is so good your characters are great like when glenn and when those church people were going back and forth in those emails i was oh yeah hooked yeah because he could tell it to get heated you know it was like real real uh natural uh escalation of conversation was good and oh my god one detail when cassidy switched to saying may the fourth rather than may the seven be eternal because she was starting to pretend to agree or was buying into for a minute right i think she was pretending because i think it was before the not the real break but the break where she's inside she was gonna do it anyways yeah so i like that as a devious fake out detail yeah yeah i knew to get that but you know that makes sense very very cool okay all right let's see if our next article is a final for tonight or if it's a starter for next time sure seven two six eight where are we seven two six eight is it is the gone out the spark of life oh my sweet jesus oh oh oh yeah this looks like long one next time on seven connery yeah i was starting with seven two six eight a spark of life by i mean it's trying to still scrolling to the bottom here it's taking a second there we go okay um by blind beard blind beard all right i find your on a glance i like your format there's a lot of interesting things here there's the uh i'm glad i took that footnote to be like oh there's still more don't don't yeah there's a obligatory uh collapsible at the very end just to tease us a little bit more but uh the formatting looks pretty i like the tables the pictures look like they're gonna be nice there's a lot of white space maybe it'll be you know and maybe it'll it'll be pleasantly surprising how quickly it goes by but maybe it'll be so engaging that it'll be a brisk read and yeah i'm hoping let me say we're looking at here this is yeah it's only 14 000 words all right that's a good first quarter of the stream minimum oh yeah yeah i think i think one of my readings i specifically because it's one of my articles and i checked that it's uh 8 000 words and i think that was like a 60 minute reading with character stuff so that'll probably be little more like the first half of the stream yeah yeah i'm wondering next next uh you know x thousand contest uh staff if you're listening put a word limit i want a short works contest brevity brevity is the soul of wits come on i do not care what the theme is i just care that next contest is shortworks shortworks the theme is shortworks it's only about short articles so with that in mind friends in site 42 fam allow me to start the sign-off process remember why we're
