 Warning, the following anomaly is affected by communication. Do not refer to it in speech or writing unless trained. Item number, restricted, per protocol 4000 eschew. Object class, Keter, Special Containment Procedures. The extra dimensional location described below, as well as the entities and landmarks contained therein are nomenclative hazards, eschew class, and therefore may not be referred to by any name, title, or designation. Any descriptions may be used when referring to the forest outside of normative space, and native entities thereof. Variations must be made in these descriptions each time a subject is described, and flawed language may be used for the sake of nomenclative diversity. In the event of nomenclative containment breach, standard eschew class recontainment protocol must be carried out immediately by the individual responsible for the breach. If the individual is rendered unable to perform the procedure, the responsibility falls to the individual's next of kin. If the individual responsible for the breach has no known next of kin, the individual's name must be expurgated from all existing documents and records. Any other individuals possessing the same name are to be administered type G viral amnestics and assigned a new one. In accordance with order 05-4000-F26, at least one successful expedition into the strange and dangerous woodland area must be carried out per year to assess any deviations from baseline abnormality. Due to the high risk involved in entering the place with a nameless afound, personnel sent in to conduct research must be trained in standard exploration protocol as detailed in 4000-SEP. Unauthorized documentation of the forest found in chimneys must be suppressed by a standard information containment protocol. Unauthorized individuals with knowledge of procedure 4000 Holloway are to be administered amnestics and may be released following a period of disquisitional rehabilitation. Description. The SCP in question is in an extra dimensional forested area with numerous anomalous qualities including a hazardous nomenclative phenomenon. This anomalous location is accessed by performing 4000 Holloway C document 4000-H. After completing the procedure, subjects emerge from the opening up at a lapidated brick well fixed into the forest floor. The only way to reliably traverse the unusual terrain is by use of a single dirt path. Explorations that diverge from said route have resulted in immediate loss of contact with participating subjects. The soul save road may only be traversed in a single direction and any attempt by subjects to turn back and return the way they came will result in similar loss of contact. The unnamed world does not adhere to the constraints of linear space. Cartographic endeavors have resulted in vastly different routes being recorded with each expedition and sections of the mandatory trail which should logically overlap or intersect do not. The only consistency in the layout is the access point which is always located at both ends of the main road. The only way for a subject to safely exit the woods which have no name after they have begun following it is by walking the entire length and returning to the place where they began at the opposite end. A variety of anomalous entities native to the nameless habitat have been documented. Native entities often undergo changes in physical structure when unobserved which has made it difficult for researchers to determine which recorded entities are unique beings and which are newer iterations of those previously documented. Entities claim they have no control over these changes and frequently express dissatisfaction when they occur. Native entities often obstruct the trail which subjects tread making it necessary for subjects to interact with them to progress. Native entities are sapient and often highly temperamental but can be interacted with safely as long as 4,000 SAP precautions are taken. Consequences for disregarding these precautions will vary depending on the personality of the event identity. Degrees of retribution encountered by research subjects have included verbal rebuke, acts of violence, and anomalous alteration of the subject's physical, conceptual, or nomenclative attributes. Various anomalous phenomena may occur when consistent nomenclature is applied to the realm of the unnameable, its native entities, or its landmarks. These phenomena are poorly understood partially due to the prohibition of nomenclative experimentation under order 05400-F26. Documented nomenclative phenomena have included episodic cluster headaches among subjects exposed to affected nomenclature, visual and auditory hallucinations among exposed subjects, usually involving environments or entities described by nomenclature. Gustatory hallucinations and phantasmia have also been reported in a small subset of cases, sudden onset of psychogenic amnesia among exposed subjects, the development of non-human physical characteristics among exposed subjects such as feathers and pollen sacks, sudden involuntary transport of exposed subjects to the wilderness of the unnamed things. Without the use of Procedure 4000 Holloway, manifestation of various flora within indoor spaces where nomenclature was used, sudden transport of native entities to areas where nomenclature was used, biological fusion of exposed subjects with native entities, biological fusion of native entities in architectural spaces where nomenclature was used, extreme iron deficiency in exposed subjects with an absence of expected negative side effects. Order 05400-F26 was ratified by the Overseer Council in 1954. A 1970 amendment requires that 05400-F26 receive unanimous endorsement from the Council every 10 years in order to remain in effect. To date, no overseer memos regarding 05400-F26 have been disseminated to lower clearance levels. Notable containment breaches. Addendum. The following are examples of anomalous phenomena observed during nomenclative breaches. Breach date. 9 June 1954. Name subject. The glade which we seldom speak. Summary. Initial discovery and subsequent breach took place in an abandoned home in rural Connecticut. Circumstances of the discovery are unclear due to a lack of surviving personnel, but a general timeline of events has been established. The hull of unspoken titles is discovered and given a temporary type E designation by field agent Garrett Bradley, creating nomenclative breach. Field agent Moira Dinati enters the land beyond the flu and is never recovered. Agent Bradley begins to gradually sink into the hardwood floor. Nearby agents flee the area. Soon after exiting the house, all agents are suddenly rendered immobile, with the exception of Timothy Woods, who is not aware of the type E designation. Immobilized agents vocalize distress as their torsos elongate. Elongation ceases after agents have reached a height of approximately that of the chimney where procedure 4000 Holloway was performed. Smoke expels from their facial orifices. Timothy Woods reports these developments via radio to site 08. A secondary breach is caused when Timothy Woods repeatedly uses a specific phrase to describe the world where woods have power. Timothy Woods states that he sees his name in the trees. Site 08 personnel press Timothy Woods for further information. Timothy Woods attempts to orally consume his radio and soon expires from internal injuries. Timothy Woods correspondence in site 08 are observed suffering from severe headaches and placed under quarantine. Hostile protrusions resembling tree branches emerge from the orbital cavities of quarantine site 08 personnel. Personnel report no physical discomfort despite exhibiting full globe luxation in both sockets. Afterward, nomenclative anomaly eventually discovered after numerous cycles of multivariable D-class exposure to affected site 08 personnel. Breach date, 22nd of September, 1955. Name subject, the footpath which loops around the entire area. Summary, desk desk completed the first successful exploratory mission in the grove beneath the nameless stars and was immediately quarantined. After exhibiting no anomalous effects for 72 hours, desk desk was then allowed to write an account of his experiences. Traces of soil and human tissue were later found in the pencil, paper, and Harvey Mansfield, desk desk had used in his writing. Breach date, 19th of August, 1958. Name subject, the native entity that sits atop a throne of bones and cradles a flaming child. Summary, after completing an exploratory mission, field agent Ethan mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy. He used the same epithet several times when describing a particular native entity. Several minutes later, he complained of severe nausea and began to vomit blood and bone marrow. Over the course of several hours, agent mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy was reported to have somehow orally expelled most of his bones. Personnel throughout site 08 experienced auditory hallucinations of a woman's laughter for the next several days. Breach date, 4th of March, 1966. Name subject, the native entity that resembles a feathered lion with a skeletal ram's head. Summary, college student Vanessa Hayworth attempted to check into numerous medical facilities in and around Portland, Oregon, complaining that her head had become covered in flesh despite exhibiting no signs of unusual tissue growth. She was eventually detained by foundation investigators and found to be in possession of a book that described, among other things, procedure 4000 Holloway in its entirety, after stipulating that foundation personnel assists in removing the flesh from her head if she cooperated. Hayworth confessed that she'd received the book from an acquaintance in the Wanderer's Library. Afterward, this was the first known case of a civilian triggered nomenclative breach. Similar incidents have occurred intermediately since. In 2012, a native entity was photographed that superficially resembled a young Hayworth, more than two decades after Hayworth died in foundation custody. Breach date, 30th of October, 1992. Name subject, the house in which Michael Ashley Vincent spent several nights during his exploratory mission. Summary, agent Michael Ashley Vincent, who had completed an exploratory mission several years prior, used a possessive phrase several times when recording stories to two of his colleagues who did not have names. Sometime later, a large brick building manifested inside Side 08, intersecting with existing architecture. Michael Ashley Vincent's headless body was found inside, seizing violently infused at the neck to a light fixture made of elcorns. His face, which did not appear animate, was in large to take up the entire surface area of the building's floor. Field agents sent into the face's mouth found that it did not possess a full digestive tract. However, Michael Ashley Vincent's nameless colleagues were reported to have been conjoined with its uvula. Procedure, 4000 Holloway. The following is a censored list of instructions for accessing the horizon beyond the labels. Certain steps have been omitted in this version of this document. Phrases and counterphrases at the end of the procedure will differ depending on the subject's type category. The oldest child in their family, type one, middle-born type two, the youngest only child. Type three, number one, use organic kindling. Start a steady flame within any indoor fireplace. Two, combine the powdered bones of a male red fox, vulpus vulpus, any age, an adult male lion, pantheraleo, and a baleen whale. Mysticity, any age, any gender. Cast the mixture into the fire. Three, take an easily burnt personal possession of strong, sentimental value and allow the fire to consume it. Four, carefully release three feathers from any black-plumed bird of the genus Corvus over the fire and allow the smoke to carry them up the flu. Five, if the fire begins to emit vocalizations, respond with appropriate counterphrases. See phrases and counterphrases below. Six, if the correct statements are given, the fireplace will expand and the ladder will descend. The fire will be harmless. Seven, if incorrect statements are made for any reason, immediately apologize and do not attempt procedure 4000 Holloway again at any point in the future. Note, individuals who are present during procedure 4000 Holloway but who are not the ones conducting procedure 4000 Holloway must not respond to vocalizations or approach the active fireplace under any circumstances. Phrases and counterphrases, variant one for type one subjects. Phrase, these woods have rules. Counterphrase, or so they say. Phrase, and if you break them, counterphrase, a price I'll pay. Variant two for type two subjects. Phrase is someone there. Counterphrase, there's only me. Phrase, and who are you? Counterphrase, I guess you'll see. Variant three for type three subjects. Phrase, what do you seek? Counterphrase, to walk the trees. Phrase, now mind your manners. Counterphrase, to walk them please. 4000-SEP. The following is a truncated list containing only instructions that are crucial to survival. Personnel assigned to explorative duties must also familiarize themselves with SEP three through eight before embarking. 4000-SEP-1, general guidelines for exploration. One, you must be equipped with a standard foundation expedition pack prior to entering the place when names are not allowed. Two, do not consume any food other than the rations included inside the standard foundation expedition pack. Three, do not bring firearms into the dimension of trees under any circumstances. Four, type one subjects must avoid accepting or indirectly handling that which could be considered a valuable resource. This includes what is not limited to forms of currency, precious metals and stones, objects impugned with useful anomalous properties and well-crafted weaponry. Five, type two subjects must avoid any native entities that regard the subject with affection or romantic attraction and must not give the appearance of reciprocating these feelings in any way. Statements made by a native entity which profess affection or romantic attraction for a type two subject are false. Six, type three subjects must avoid partaking in activities that are commonly considered frivolous, luxurious or physically comforting. This includes what is not limited to dancing, smoking, playing with toys, drinking anything other than water, listening to music and sleeping on a padded surface. Seven, structures encountered along the way you must travel may be entered after knocking at the entryway. Leave the structure where you came in. If entering uninvited do not be discovered. Eight, if you fall asleep in the woods where rules of paramount record your dreams, a journal is included in your expedition pack. If you encounter any landmarks or entities similar to the dream you recorded, treat the dream as fact. 4,000 SEP-2 guidelines for interacting with native entities. One, greet native entities with any formal salutation before engaging conversation. If female, bow or curtsy. Two, speak in a cordial tone of voice. Three, do not make any statements that you know to be false. Four, do not make disparaging comments about native entities while in their presence. Five, say please and thank you when appropriate. Six, refer to and address native entities using descriptions of their physical appearance per protocol for 1,000 SU. Seven, do not refer to a native entity by name, title or designation even if it introduces itself as such. Eight, do not state your name, nickname, codename, alias or any other personal designation when in the presence of a native entity. Nine, if a native entity offers to assign you a name, title or designation politely decline. 10, if a native entity makes a statement in which it addresses or refers to you by name, title, designation or anything other than a physical description, ignore the statement as though it had not been spoken. 11, if pressed for information that is considered confidential, refuse briefly apologize and bow. 12, if a native entity appears to require your assistance, consider its appearance before choosing to help. 12, A, if the entity appears threatening, do whatever necessary to aid it. 12, B, if the entity appears attractive or harmless, do not approach. 12, C, always feed a native entity if it is hungry. This overrules 12, B. 13, do not attempt to mount any bestial entities you encounter unless it has earned your trust and given you its consent. 14, if you were offered a physical gift, receive it with both hands, do not discard the gift even if it appears to have no use or value. This is overruled by 4,000 SEP-1, rule four. 15, if a native entity offers you a non-physical gift or attempts to initiate a trade, politely decline. 16, you may accept food offered by native entities and offer that food to other native entities you encounter but do not consume it yourself. 17, do not sleep in any lodging offered by native entities. You may sleep inside the residence of a native entity as long as you do not have an invitation to do so. 18, if a native entity offers to accompany you on your journey, accept but do not tell them where you are going. 19, if you're aided by a native entity, you must aid it in return if you have not done so already. 20, if you encounter an incorporeal humanoid that claims it is not a native entity, disregard all previous protocols and follow its instructions. Interview log 4,000-0215. The following is a series of interviews conducted by Dr. Eugene Japers over the course of several years. This data has been expunged from all general documents under order 05-4000-F26. Encounter one, interviewer Dr. Eugene Japers. Interviewee description, the native entity with a head resembling that of a rabbit. Forward, interview conducted in 2005 during Dr. Japers, first expedition into the space with speech is deadly. Good morning, strange traveler. Dr. Japers, good morning. It's nice to see a new face around these parts. Kindly excuse the smoke, just air in my thoughts. How's your name? Dr. Japers, how is? I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't tell you that. Dr. Japers bows. Are you simple? I'm merely asking how your name is. My name has smelled of raspberries lately. I think they're snapdragons perhaps. So hard to tell these days, but one makes an effort. Dr. Japers, ah, my apologies. I'm afraid my name has tasted rather tart as of late. The Leoporion entity laughs and docks its hat. No, I'm the one who should apologize. I shouldn't have pride. Dr. Japers, it's quite all right. I don't mind at all. It's been lovely to meet you, but I must be on my way. Must you though? My home is close by and I was hoping to invite you in for tea. Dr. Japers bows again. I'm terribly sorry, but unfortunately, I cannot stop at this moment, perhaps another day. Very well, until next time, stranger whose name tastes rather tart. Encounter two. Interviewer, Dr. Eugene Japers. Interviewing description, the gentleman with the Leoporion visage. Forward, interview conducted in 2008 during Dr. Japers' fourth expedition into the Tibero betwixt the bricks. Dr. Japers crests the hill and discovers his hair like a coin tending to a patch of cabbage. Good afternoon, stranger, except, ah, pardon me. We met before, haven't we? Dr. Japers, a good afternoon. I believe so, yes. Three years ago, if memory serves. Well, I remember now. You ran off in quite a hurry. Dr. Japers, yes, my apologies for that. At the time, I was new here and wary of those I encountered. Still, the apologetic one, I see. No matter, you're not from here? Very interesting. What woods are you from? Dr. Japers, I do not come from any woods. Nonsense, certainly you have trees where you're from, do you not? Dr. Japers, we do have trees, but they're very sparse. Most of the land is covered in homes and businesses. Well, then they're inferior woods, but woods nonetheless. Tell me, how did you get here? Dr. Japers, I see you have an inquiring mind. I would like to ask you a question if that's all right. Pardon my lack of manners. I consider myself something of a scholar, you see. I get a bit excited when I have a chance to learn a force outside my own, but by all means, pose your question. Dr. Japers, when we last met, you said it would become difficult to describe your name. Do you have any theories for why that may be? Well, I can only assume it's because of how long we've been apart. My name and I, that is. It was a good name, a proud name, I'm fairly sure. By this point though, it's probably a decayed from its former branch or maybe it still exists. Dr. Japers, where do you think it is currently? Well, first fellow scholar, you must answer my previous question. Dr. Japers, nonsense. I came through the old but distinguished well at the end of the footpath I'm presently perambulating. The other individual hesitates before speaking. Oh my, it's been quite some time. I'll be frank, I thought all the old allies had died out. Did your grandfather or some such relation have a lover out here? Dr. Japers bowels. My deepest apologies, I'm afraid I cannot answer that question. Very well, I understand. I mean, I'd invite you to my cottage for tea, but I suppose that's not possible for you, is it? Dr. Japers, I'm afraid not. The conversational partner laughs and picks a cabbage leaf and offers it to Dr. Japers. You needn't fear so much. Take this and be on your way. Dr. Japers accepts the leaf with both hands. Thank you very much. Happy travels to you. And may you find the one you're looking for. Dr. Japers later used the cabbage leaf to feed a native entity resembling a field mouse which in turn aided him on his travels. Interviewer, Dr. Eugene Japers. Interviewee description, the leaf giver. Interview conducted in 2013 during Dr. Japers' ninth expedition into the Yandevele of Restis Wanderers. Due to the unique knowledge that the one who bore the gift of cabbage seemed to possess about our world, Dr. Japers was instructed to conduct a more thorough interview should it be encountered a third time. Additionally, Dr. Japers was granted special permission to make false statements for the sake of facilitating conversation as his first encounter showed the fluffy one to be susceptible to deceptions. Traveling along the way of weary adventurers, Dr. Japers encountered a small white cottage with a thatched roof. Small opening in the shape of a rabbit's head is cut into the front door. Dr. Japers approaches it and knocks. Dr. Japers, hello, is anyone home? Voice slightly muffled from the inside. Yes, one minute. Exactly one minute passes and the door opens. Ah, we made again. Please come in, come in. Dr. Japers is led inside. The interior is sparsely decorated with wooden furniture and needlework. Dr. Japers, you have a lovely home. Ha, you have a lovely sense of humor. The homeowner hurries to a kitchenette in the corner and begins preparing a kettle. Dr. Japers, no, really, I think it's charming. I suppose it was just meant to be until things cooled down on the other side, but well, you know, Dr. Japers, I'm afraid I don't know. Would you like some help? No, no, no, no. Just have yourself a seat at the table over there. I'll get the tea ready for us. Dr. Japers draws a chair and seats himself. Oh, you are most generous, but I don't think my digestion will permit it. Oh, poor fellow. Well, I find the presence of tea to be a comfort in any case. Dr. Japers, you were most kind. Tell me, could you explain what you meant by a cool down? His furred host turns the stove on and stares at a window cut into a smaller shape as the hole in the door. Your relations didn't tell you the full story, I suppose. What about the turmoil that drove us here? Dr. Japers, turmoil, was there a war? The tufted one's size. Isn't there always? Dr. Japers, my grandparents did tell me there were wars, but I never knew of one with you and your kind. Well, it doesn't surprise me. There are very few in even these woods who still remember. Memory is the burden of the old, I suppose. But yes, when I was a young lad in a form very different from the one I possess now, I lived on the other end of the well. It's where I was born, where I grew up, and if I dare to dream, where I will someday return. Dr. Japers, why don't you then? At this point, the kettle whistles. I can, not unless I know I'd be welcomed back. Make her the tea towards a cup and seats itself across the table. I'm sure you don't know this since they keep themselves hidden, but there are those who would destroy me at nearest chance. My apologies. At least your dark memories, I'm sure you don't want to hear about them. The teller of the story sips its tea. Dr. Japers, no, please go on. These things are of interest to me. I'm a fellow scholar, remember? Oh, as you wish, fellow scholar. I shall talk until the tea is cold. It clears its throat. Much as it grieves me to say that we were betrayed, we had fought side by side, you know, in the war against that factory. We had done nothing but help them. And what did they do? They destroyed us. They took so many of our lives and all of our names. Some of us fled here when the war was just beginning, but not many. Still, though, I don't hate them. Dr. Japers, I'm glad for that. Well, I'd imagine so. There are some old foes around these parts who bear grudge against the whole species, but I know you're not all bad. There were many who sheltered us, fought for us. They even died for us, but some came here to live amongst us. Rest their souls. I, myself, courted a human once upon a time. He came to visit at a time or two, but I never saw him after that. I still wonder now again if he fell at the hand of an unkind neighbor or if he really stopped caring to see me. It's no matter now, I suppose. I apologize for patling on about old flames. Certainly such things are of no interest to you, fellow scholar. Dr. Japers, on the contrary, I quite like to hear more of these stories. The life of you and your people is of great interest to me. I'm sure it is, fellow scholar. A strong breeze moves throughout the house. Neither party speaks for half a minute. The rabbit person who lives there grunts and places a hand to its head as if in pain. Dr. Japers places his hand against the teapot. Dr. Japers, it appears the tea has gotten cold. I think it's time I took my leave. What? You're leaving? I should leave too then. Dr. Japers rises from the table. No, no, no, no, no, no, I'll be going alone. Thank you. It's abrupt, yes. And I'm grievously sorry to do this, but I really must be going. I believe I'm long overdue to return home. What is? I don't, please don't go. Something isn't... Dr. Japers, can't be helped. Stop, what have you done? I don't know, what happened to my name? I can't, Dr. Japers quickly exits the house. His former companion whimpers and looks at his hands as he leaves. Dr. Japers, hmm, it does taste rather tart. Afterward, Dr. Japers successfully returned to site 08, but was reported missing soon after. Investigations into his disappearance and current whereabouts have been inconclusive. It was initially theorized that Dr. Japers was exposed to an anomalous influence on his physiology during his most recent mission. However, thorough analysis showed no genetic abnormalities in the furried shed on his expedition gear.
