 Item No. SCP-2095 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures Relic Horry Site-26 was constructed around SCP-2095, preventing access and enclosing it from view. Site-26 has been disguised as a weather observatory and agents within the Greek government are to ensure the site is publicly viewed as such. Description SCP-2095 is a primarily subterranean temple complex located at Gyaros, an arid and uninhabited Greek island in the Aegean Sea. Structure predates previously known archaeological sites on the island. Inscriptions found within have included Cretan hieroglyphs, Linear A, Hittite cuneiform, and a previously unknown writing system composed of spiral-shaped glyphs varying in complexity. SCP-2095 is composed of entirely biological material and is believed to have once been a living organism. Samples taken from SCP-2095 have revealed bone, chitin, muscle, adipose, and viscera. Radiocarbon dating has placed the subject's death at 1200-1000 BCE, with soft tissue having undergone a form of embalment. Structures are connected together via tunnels which are structurally and cellularly similar to the inner lining of the human intestinal tract. Large fainters appear to have served as doors and are permanently relaxed. These portals would have likely been able to open and close as needed pre-mortem. The largest room contains an altar composed of bone, a component of the SCP-2095 organism. Forensic evidence suggests that it was used in a sacrificial manner. It is believed possible that living sacrifices provided SCP-2095 with the nutrients necessary for its survival, and the floor itself shows signs of acidic corrosion. The base of the altar has been carved into an url boros, believed to be a symbol of religious importance to the creators of SCP-2095. Twenty-nine scrolls were discovered within the northernmost chamber of SCP-2095. Twenty-four were found to be written in Hittite cuneiform while the rest remain undecipherable. Of those four, three are considered to be of a spiritual philosophical nature, while one appears to be an inventory report. Foundation archaeologists have found evidence of warfare throughout the island. This has included skeletal remains depicting likely anomalous causes for death, such as implosion, internal combustion, disintegration, radiation poisoning, and fatal physical reconfiguration. The Foundation became aware of SCP-2095 after reports of a cathedral of bone being discovered by a team of Greek archaeologists who had been studying a large mound on the Isle of Gyaros. Class B amnestics were administered, and the archaeologists were returned to the general population. SCP-2095 was easily secured and construction of Reliquary Site-26 was completed by December 9, 1949.

Scroll 1, The Wound, cut from the flesh of Totality, deep it severed the line of future and past. Drawn to its ancient fester, God swarmed his flies to a corpse. We waited within bloodless veins, faithful to that which we could not know, unable to imagine that we might become their greater. Here we slept, until our souls became flesh. So Nalku Scroll 2, heavily stained, paragraph-illegible. The swine herd prostrated himself before the sorcerer king and asked, Great Sorcerer King and Osremak, Heart of Man and Light of Lights, I speak for the folk of the Cold Marsh. We fear the Red Lanterns that dance without harmony. Our spirit guides warn of ill omens. And Ion did assure the man, I have gazed upon the faceless ones, servitors of his undulating vastness. Their chief is blind, castrated by our words and will. He sings songs of anarchy, but they will not come again. These terrible spirits do not deserve our love. Render unto them no sacrifice until the stars have aligned. Zone Vith Scroll 3, and to his flock Ion does spoke. I have stepped beyond the flow of dreams, stood before the old ones within their own desolate domain. I have endured their intolerable force across countless eons. I have seen the infinite dead worlds murder death herself. I have read the entrails of our creator, beheld eternity unfurled. Know that our paradise draws near, and with their own flesh shall we birth it. Zone Skull Addendum, on May 24, 2014, an earthquake occurred in the Aegean Sea. Relicory Site-26 was unharmed, as were the anomalous objects retained within since its construction. SCP-2095 did however suffer some structural damage, but proved to be a serendipitous event. A hitherto unknown spinker, sealed and hidden through calcification, had ruptured open within the altar chamber. Exploration of the chamber led to the discovery of the body of a human male. Individual has shown no signs of decay, and although lacking in the detectable heartbeat, EEG scans have revealed low-level brain activity. Research into the subject and its relationship with SCP-2095 is currently ongoing. Found inside of a single well-preserved scroll, strewn carelessly and likely never meant to be contained within. Deduced to be a letter, it is believed to have been written by the ruling authority at SCP-2095, but had been unsent, possibly due to the events directly referenced within. The document has been translated and is now accessible for viewing by Foundation personnel. The carces ion may dismissive find you at Kythra, for it shall be my last. Our enemies have begun their assault on the island, but we have completed the rite of preservation. The temple will sleep in await resurrection by the children of Additum. The fallen kingdoms and followers of McCain have united against us, even as their nations crumble. Still, they have transmuted our every victory in the region to that of defeat, even as their own faders sealed. The bleeding heart is our last stronghold in the Aegean Sea, but no doubt our eastern domain remains strong under your eternal gaze. The wounds sustained today will heal, into the ages of ages we are undying. Their victory here shall be hollow. Carces Mexa has claimed their profane instruments and sailed for Kythra as I write this. I vow that none are to leave this island alive. May their names be obliterated and their flesh consumed. We summoned a red death. For the blood of heathens we sacrifice ourselves. We will meet again in Additum. I remain. Carces tundus.
