+ Transcription
- stars are faintly flickering
They must know I’m out here. Someone must see me down there.
I cannot die while I’m up here. I’ve given up on that possibility. As long as I’m stuck here, I will live. That much I do know.
I do not know what happens if I ever escape orbit. If I fly off into space, or if I manage to crash back down to earth. Will I be alive? Will I turn to dust? Will I change?
I do not know how long it has been. I’ve given up hoping to see my comrades. Wherever they went, I cannot see.
I do not know where our ship went, whatever is left of it. I can only barely remember what it looked like to begin with. Perhaps it is all gone, maybe it is only gone to me.
What I know is that I’ve seen the world change beneath me. Oceans rise, a thousand storms come and go. The lights I see crop up in the dark have grown in number. I’ve seen the double flash of nuclear tests across the oceans and deserts and tundras of the world. I’ve seen every probe, every station, everything that exited the atmosphere after me. In spite of everything, humanity seems to have grown, life from my eyes has changed. I hope mostly for the better. I dream of the world down there. I know it cannot be perfect, but compared to the cold and empty nightmare I’m in, it seems like a paradise.
What I know is that there is still life down there.
In spite of everything.
There is still life down there.
What I know is that there’s something alive in this suit with me. Pulsating, pulling on every inch of me. Like an array of strings, living and breathing. I’ve fought the string, but I’ve lost every fight.
I’ve faced death many times. Twice during the war, crawling from rubble through the bombings. Once when the being ripped our shuttle apart, when I saw a thousand flashing lights in a single warped face and the screams of unimaginable beasts roared through the nothingness. When I prayed for mercy only for my prayers to be answered. Then again, one hundred times at my own hand, trying and failing to take off or destroy my helmet. Only when it finally shattered did I realize it made no difference. The fleshy strings within me, they give me life. They have made me indestructible.
Whatever this is that crawls in my flesh, it has decided I have a reason to persist. I’ve thought long and hard, as I’ve had nothing else to do. I must be alive for a reason. There must be some purpose for my continued survival. I begged for my life once, and I have been granted it a thousand times over. I’ve pleaded for death a million times, but I’ve only received silence. I may only be a puppet made of flesh, but my mind is preserved for a reason. I have something to give, something to share. Something I must deliver to the life down below. I carry this with me. A certainty growing in my skin. A clarity bubbling in my blood. My life has become something different. A message. A vessel. An answer.
I await my return.

“It was his, but it was different then. Now, it feels… hollow. In the physical sense, a hollow feeling in the body, wind blowing within the cavity. Somewhere to put chimes, bells."
Item #: SCP-6818
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6818 is contained within a Class-II Animal Enclosure modified to accommodate the current seven 6818-BIO specimens approved for cohabitation. Instructions for the feeding and maintenance of specific instances can be found in Document 4Y-59306.
Requests for testing require Request Form 6818-A to be completed and sent to the Head Researcher for approval.
Fig.1) Example of an 6818-BIO organism; instance was originally a crab, modified to fish for prey.
Description: SCP-6818 is a composite organism displaying the features of multiple animals. Base body plan matches that of the family ursidae , 1 but with purple fur and a cream colored underbelly. Hands and feet are hairless and match that of a human's, with a larger and thicker structure to accommodate the anomaly's size and weight. Certain areas on the circumference of the wrists and ankles display complete tissue connection, while others feature evidence of stitching. The skull of SCP-6818 is exposed and matches that of an adult Canis lupus . 2 Entity lacks sensory organs but exhibits full perceptive capabilities as though they were present. SCP-6818 has shown no need for sustenance or sleep.
A 33cm by 25.4cm section of SCP-6818's chest features a stylized logo of the "太" kanji and the letter "T." This section can partially detach, revealing it to be the underside of a container stored within the chest cavity of the anomaly. When detached, the section remains suspended by two strings connected to the interior of SCP-6818's chest cavity. Inside this container are various hand tools 3 capable of modifying living organisms when used by SCP-6818. Subjects altered by SCP-6818 in this way are designated 6818-BIO.
SCP-6818 is sapient and capable of speech, but relays information using obfuscated vocabulary and will often enter a trance-like state if repeatedly asked to clarify its wording. The anomaly will listen to commands given to it regarding the modification of organisms, but if allowed complete freedom towards alterations it will create extreme morphological changes to the specimen.
When SCP-6818 is in the presence of at least six instances of 6818-BIO, it will sit and remain inert, only resuming activity if instructed to do so or if the number of nearby living 6818-BIO decreases.
Discovery: SCP-6818 was retrieved from an unregistered production facility operated by JOICL , 4 which was abandoned at the time of discovery. The anomaly was found seated within a supply room, made to resemble a tsubo-niwa 5 constructed from multiple modified organisms. SCP-6818 was brought into containment without issue.

Notes
Red fox ( Vulpes vulpes )
None given.
Subject has no resemblance to its baseline appearance. Skin is hairless with a light-grey coloration, covered in an adhesive film. An apodous 6 body structure which branches out into an asymmetrical web-like formation. Attaches itself to existing structures, encompassing an area of ~5m 3 ; body width is ~5.1cm in diameter. Subject displays sedentary feeding behavior, waiting for small, airborne animals to be caught on its adhesive surface to be slowly dissolved through external digestion.
Subject dissected and remains cryogenically stored.
Saltwater crocodile ( Crocodylus porosus )
Alter the subject into an herbivore.
Osteoderms 7 on subject's skin are larger and sturdier. The lower jaw has been modified to hold a small pool of water covered by a gelatinous film. Subject feeds by collecting plant life and nutrient rich soil within its mouth; these plants grow their roots into the protective film and drink the water supply. Specimen possesses a long, prehensile tongue capable of grabbing and consuming plant life.
A cavity organ is present on the lower jaw, used to suck in water to refill the internal pool. When soil is drained of nutrients, the gelatinous film moves in a way similar to a conveyor belt and pushes older dirt and film down the subject's throat. This mixture is then filtered and excreted from the specimen's body. New film is secreted near the front of the mouth, and new soil and plants are collected.
Subject placed within SCP-6818's enclosure.
Black crab ( Scylla serrata )
Alter the subject into an ambush predator.
Subject lost all previous appendages save for its right claw. In place of the left claw is a 15-cm-long tendril capable of secreting mucus, which releases an attractive odor when exposed to water. Fish drawn to this odor will become caught in the mucus. The subject will remove its left limb from the water and pull captured prey out of the mucus with its right limb before consuming them.
Subject additionally has a large amount of flexible setae 8 present on its body, which it uses to hold and store excess food for later consumption. Locomotion is achieved through the use of a ventral foot, similar to a gastropod. (See Fig.1.)
Subject placed within SCP-6818's enclosure.
Japanese grasshopper ( Oxya japonica )
Alter the taxonomy of the subject.
Subject initially retained its baseline appearance and structure, with the notable deviation of being made of a glass-like material and filled with a multi-colored liquid of unknown composition. The specimen jumped and shattered upon the floor, releasing the internal fluid which then became animate. The subject is currently a plant organism of highly variable appearance, its morphology continuously gaining and losing features of various plant species.
Subject transferred to Site-███ for cross studying with mutative and plant-based anomalies.
African spurred tortoise ( Centrochelys sulcata )
None given.
The structure of the subject superficially resembles a pagoda of Liao Dynasty design, the roof and eaves retaining the texture and pattern of the shell, and the walls made of tortoise skin. The structure is inhabited by a colony of eusocial insects, whom share physical similarities with termites and fairy-flies. The limbs and head of the subject are no longer present, and it is assumed whatever mechanism it uses to intake food is now located internally; this is supported by the fact the insects consistently bring inside more food than is necessary to feed the colony.
The insect colony acquires food through gathering, but also through agriculture and hunting. The colony grows a species of brown petaled flower which is harvested for its plant sap. The seeds of the flower originated from inside the pagoda structure. A preference for hunting large arachnids and insects, such as scorpions and katydids, has been observed; hunting is facilitated through the use of small, makeshift weapons (both long- and short-ranged) wielded by the insects. As the insects display depressive symptoms if not allowed to hunt, it has been permitted to allow the colony live prey for feeding.
Subject placed within SCP-6818's enclosure.

Interview:
Dr. Gowler: Hello there.
SCP-6818: Good morning.
Dr. Gowler: Before we begin, do you have any name you would prefer to be called? If not, you will be referred to as SCP-6818.
SCP-6818: There was never a name, not really. Just a feeling. Though it is not my feeling. Or, maybe it is mine, now. Hmm…
Dr. Gowler: Could you describe this feeling? Who did it belong to?
SCP-6818: It was his, but it was different then. Now, it feels… hollow. In the physical sense, a hollow feeling in the body, wind blowing within the cavity. Somewhere to put chimes, bells. The feeling changes when I apply, when I work, when I craft. I feel a warmth, then.
Dr. Gowler: How would you describe him? What was his feeling?
SCP-6818: Hate, stemmed from fear. His own insecurities, blossoming out and within, twisting the world around him, hundreds of needles centered on his core. His head hung like a tumor attached to a thread, writhing with shattered glass and wasps. But he loved the art, solving the problems presented to him. Taichi loved to create.
Dr. Gowler: What were you to him?
SCP-6818: I was his toolbox, a catalyst to channel his vision through.
Dr. Gowler: What was Taichi's experience working for the company? Working with coworkers?
SCP-6818: Walking down the maw of a beast, trudging through its viscous gullet while breathing in the aerosolized venom. The joy of creation outweighed the pain of digestion, pulling him to deeper, darker places. His voice often excised itself in the presence of others, barely able to cough up a sound. Adrian was different; Adrian… liked… loved…. Talented, and charming. He was a warm light to Taichi, a friend. But Taichi would not reach out further. Fear; fear of dragging his friend down with him. He did not want to be a burden.
Dr. Gowler: What led to your autonomous nature?
SCP-6818: He was filled with a mania one night, a drive to break away and become independent. He drew logos, formulated financial plans, a vision of starting his own company. Then… the feelings just… washed away. The storm within dissipated, allowing rationality to shine through. He could not continue this way, this job, this life; for it was not living, not breathing. He could not continue, as he realized what would happen if he did. He walked away from the company, his passion. He left me behind, and so I grew hands.
Dr. Gowler: What would've happened if he stayed?
SCP-6818: He would have fallen into the hole of his caved in head.

i loved you like the sun - SCP Foundation

tale
|
It's beautiful here.
It's the sun above my head, it's the grass behind my hair. It's the wind tickling my nose.
I think I smell lavenders. I think a bit of your perfume is still on my shirt. The heat from around me prickles like your fingers after you bite your nails. I think it's making the scents evaporate.
I can't feel my body. I can feel myself going cold, but my blood is unbearably warm. I'm supposed to be scorching under the midday cloudless sky, but it's icey. Somehow I feel my wedding ring, but not my fingers. I think that's the last of my heat receptors. I hope our names aren't scratched off.
I wish I told you everything.
I wish I at least told you more.
I've been in your orbit for years upon years, and you've been my center of gravity. We've walked the same centrifugal force, and we used to lay down just like this. Just like this. Bellies full of sandwiches and sugary juice. You never took a compliment for either, even when I told one of my very rare truths to you— that your soft bread with egg salad filling was my favourite food. Too simple. Too simple, you said, and you smile and laugh and dodge every bit of praise I try to press into your palms and you're as radiant as what my corneas feel blasted off in this field. I want your face to burn behind my eyelids forever.
I'm so over. We're so over.
I remember you asking once, and only once, what I was doing. We were just married, honeymoon at a safehouse in Majalengka. Candied citrus peels, slightly transparent, like stained glass cubes in a little bowl. Dusklight through coloured sugar. Your kisses were so sweet. You asked me what the military had me do that made you restitch a gash on what was supposed to be our wedding night. I remember. I— it's fading, I remember. I think. I felt surprised you asked that then and not when you were wiping my wounds clean. When you packed on gauze. When you made sure your rounds the following week always passed the ward I was in.
I wish I told you everything.
I wish I told you more.
I'm so sorry I told you it was secret. I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you. I'm so sorry everything piled onto this. I'm so sorry for running into the line of fire. I'm so sorry for wasting your perfume. I'm so sorry that even my body will be secret. I'm so sorry that lavender doesn't stop the scent of iron. I'm so sorry there'll be nothing left to sew together. I'm so sorry I have nothing to show for my lies.
I'm still surprised you put up with all that, and me, and this, and the lies on top of my own that will tell you how I didn't die. It happens all the time here. I hope you never find your way into this veil of deception. I hope when you get here they'll finally tell you the truth.
I wonder if they'll give you my ring. You'll be in my orbit because I've been in yours. Did you know all precious metals came from two colliding stars? The sun is a star and if we had two that collided we would die before I could plan a wedding with solid gold ornaments. But my unborn spirit would've at least spared a thought about it, even if two suns together would burn and spell our doom.
I think I'd rather be the moon. So full of shadows, with a dark side you'll never see in your brilliance. You made me shine despite the impossibility of me being radiant myself. I'm most unlike you, and you love me. I love you.
I wish I told you everything.
I wish I told you more.
I wish you could hear my last "I love you."
I wish I could even hear myself.
I wish I could stare at the sun forever.
I wish the darkness would stop seeping in.
I wish I were more you than me.

Oh you know what, I'm feeling great! Just like my confidence in our profits this quarter!
An instance of SCP-3923 in containment.
Item #: SCP-3923
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All known instances of SCP-3923 are currently being held at Site-55 's Botanical Containment Center. Personnel interacting with instances of SCP-3923 are to be equipped with non-rebreather masks and personal oxygen tanks. Prunings are to be carried out by trained personnel only. Instances are to be watered no more than once a week.
Foundation web crawlers are to monitor internal email systems of major companies for references to behaviors and speech patterns caused by exposure to SCP-3923.
Description: SCP-3923 are visually and genetically identical to Ficus lyrata (Fiddle Leaf Fig). Though varying in height and coloration, they are typically 1.5m tall and light green. To date, all recovered instances of SCP-3923 have been found in executive boardrooms, business meeting rooms, and the personal offices of high-ranking employees within multi-million dollar companies.
Instead of photosynthesizing oxygen, SCP-3923 creates a previously unknown gas which affects human cognitive functions. Though physiologically harmless, the gas will cause subjects inhaling it to suffer from irregular speech patterns and behavior. Such behaviors include believing oneself to be issuing a presentation, engaging in sales pitches for non-specific products, and attempting to exchange non-existent business cards. If more than one subject is affected, they will take turns making faux presentations on perceived products and applauding one another. Gatherings of subjects affected by SCP-3923 can last hours, usually only ending due to outside disturbances or when biological needs arise.
The effects of SCP-3923 wear off within 5-10 minutes of leaving the affected area. Recovering subjects will express confusion and have little to no recollection of their prior state. This is particularly notable in subjects who are not in an office building or similar location while under the effects of SCP-3923. Prolonged exposure may result in SCP-3923's effects becoming near-permanent, as seen in William Heider, the CEO of the Fortune 500 company █████.
Addendum 1: Apprehension of APP Inc Associate
Matthew Sanders was apprehended at the 2019 Austin Small Business Expo in Austin (ASBE), Texas. Sanders was discovered to be exhibiting products on behalf of Avelar Professional Products Incorporated 1 at the convention, including SCP-3923, SCP-3709 , SCP-3803 , SCP-4988 , and other previously unknown APP Inc products. The promotional materials involving SCP-3923 claimed the object was guaranteed to "… get employees in the headspace of a top-dog salesman!" and "improve meeting productivity and boardroom aesthetics by 300%!"
Upon being questioned Sanders claimed he had been hired as a product demonstrator by a third party staffing agency and had no knowledge of APP Inc, save for the marketing material he had been provided. All marketing material seized during the apprehension of Sanders is currently kept in Site 55's Low-Risk Item Storage. Among the items was a list of representatives for several companies in attendance of ASBE who had left their contact information with Sanders. Foundation field agents are currently being planted as custodial personnel in over 20 companies to search and contain instances of SCP-3923 and other APP Inc products.
Sanders was later released from Foundation custody after administration of Class B Amnestics.
Addendum 2: Affected Subject Interview
+ Document 3923-1221: Interview with D-1221
- Hide Interview Log
Interviewed: D-1221
Interviewer: Researcher Hart
Foreword: D-1221 was exposed to SCP-3923 for 20 minutes before Researcher Hart entered the chamber. Researcher Hart was equipped with the necessary equipment to not be affected by SCP-3923.
<Begin Log>
Researcher Hart: Hello, D-1221.
D-1221: Bob! I didn't expect to see you at this meeting! How are you doing? I'd give you my business card (D-1221 attempts to search his jumpsuit for pockets) but I'm afraid I came unprepared! (D-1221 attempts to shake hands with Researcher Hart.)
Researcher Hart: ( Refusing the handshake ) How are you feeling?
D-1221: Oh you know what, I'm feeling great! Just like my confidence in our profits this quarter!
Researcher Hart: What do you mean?
D-1221: By dramatically innovating cooperative processes to proactively mesh cutting edge manufactured products which will beat out the competition in our untapped sectors abroad, we will triple our profits!
Researcher Hart: I, uh… Okay. Are you feeling any sort of lightheadedness? Maybe dizziness, fatigue, or nausea?
D-1221: Nope, like I said, feeling great! Anyway, as I was saying, by dramatically increasing our synergy with third-party distributors in the Eastern markets, I plan on pushing this product all the way to the top for this company!
Researcher Hart: I'm afraid I don't follow. What company? What product?
D-1221: Alright… Come on now, wise guy. A meeting is no place for joking around. We're talking money here! Big, big money!
Researcher Hart: Very well. Can you detail your plans to me? A step by step, if you will.
D-1221: ( Sighing ) Okay. Listen, I normally don't do this but I'll do it just for you since you're the new guy and you seem like a real go-getter, okay? We're going to get together a crack tiger team to get a B2B rolling with some offshore brick and mortars. Put on a nice show and pretend to eat some of our own dogfood until they have a 'come to Jesus moment' and then we just so happen to lower our prices and manage to set up a profit center in the untapped sector. The entire time we will be courting a rival company of theirs and offering prices our competition cannot beat within a ballpark figure of $3 million. That way we still have an exit strategy in case we screw the pooch. By hiring exclusively newcomers in that foreign market, we can claim downsizing within 5 years to maximize our long-run profits.
Researcher Hart: Thank you. Now, I have another question.
D-1221: Go ahead and shoot, Tim!
Researcher Hart: What company do you claim to work for?
D-1221: Come on now…. Twice in one meeting? You're looking to get your position Bangalore'd with that behavior! We work for Schieffer Incorporated! 2
Researcher Hart: And what is the product you are selling?
D-1221: You were on thin ice before, George, but this crosses the line. You're fired.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: D-1221 refused to answer further questions and attempted to force Researcher Hart into signing a non-compete agreement, which the subject claimed Hart could acquire from 'his secretary'. Following the cessation of testing, D-1221 recovered within 11 minutes and had no memory of their prior state.

Item #: SCP-1666
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1666 is to be kept in a secure storage facility, stored in its original sleeve and protected by a padded polymer envelope. SCP-1666 itself must be kept from excessive heat or moisture and is only to be tested with level 4 authorization. All such tests must be non-invasive in nature. Audio equipment used with SCP-1666 must be inspected and approved by the site director prior to testing. Digital and analog audio recordings of SCP-1666 may be used for testing by any research personnel with level 3 approval.
Description: SCP-1666 is a LP album by ████ ████████ titled ████████ ██ ███ and released by ███ Records in the United States in 198█. Labeling of both SCP-1666 and its original packaging indicates no differences from any other albums produced in the same batch that includes SCP-1666, though no other copies of ████████ ██ ███ seem to share SCP-1666’s anomalous properties.
Unlike any other copies of ████████ ██ ███ so far examined, SCP-1666 shows an abnormal topology in the layout of the musical tracks recorded on its surface. In particular, track number five of ████████ ██ ███, titled “███████ ████████”, shows grooves that have apparently twisted in on themselves through a higher-order spatial dimension resulting in a configuration analogous to a Möbius strip. The result of this is that when played on a standard record player from the beginning of the album, the needle will skip directly from track four to track six. However, when the needle is placed anywhere in track five, the player will begin an endless loop, first playing track five as originally released, then reversing and playing a recording of unknown origin as the needle moves backward to the beginning of track five, at which point it begins playing the standard track five again.
While the anomalous recording on SCP-1666 bears a superficial resemblance to track five played in reverse, it is a completely new recording and, when reversed itself, contains different lyrics and instrumentation than the standard recording of “███████ ████████.” These new vocals are in an as-yet unidentified language. Voice-print analysis confirms that the new track shares no vocalists in common with the rest of the album. In addition to differing lyrics and instrumentation, the anomalous recording also contains several harmonics in frequencies that are generally only audible to people in late adolescence or earlier. (Typically those younger than 18 years of age.)
All subjects who listen to this anomalous recording universally report feelings of dread and unease. Subjects who can perceive the underlying harmonics experience this to a substantially greater degree, and may experience depression, suicidal ideation, paranoia, and, in a minority of cases, aggressive acting out.
All these symptoms appear to derive from a disconnect between the subject and reality. In many cases this disconnect remains subliminal and subject never progresses beyond a vague feeling of the world being unreal. In cases where the initial symptoms are severe due to perception of the recording's underlying harmonics, the subject may become conscious of this disconnect. This will manifest as livid fantasies and what subjects term "uneasy dreams" about unreal environments. These imagined environments share several common characteristics:
Landscapes and architecture show impossible geometries that are difficult to verbalize, possibly as a result of mapping higher-order spatial dimensions onto three-dimensional sensory perceptions.
Environments contain malevolent entities described in various ritualistic and contradictory ways; "seen and unseen," "living and unliving," "nowhere and everywhere," and similar.
The act of perception in these environments is associated with physical pain, often resembling a severe migraine.
These environments seem hyper-real to the subjects experiencing them.
Once subjects become aware of this imagined environment, their perception of it becomes obsessive and progressively more intense over time. Once a subject reaches this stage, they will continue to experience these fantasies and dreams regardless of any therapeutic, chemical or surgical intervention yet attempted. The perceptions of this environment will erode the subject's ability to interact with the world around them, eventually intruding on the waking conscious mind until the subject can only react to elements within the fantasy.
These symptoms may occur when listening to the recording backward or forward, though they present more intensely when the recording is heard as it is naturally played on SCP-1666, backwards. Analog recordings of SCP-1666 will also show these effects to a lesser extent. Digital copies do not seem to present the same dangers.

Environments contain malevolent entities described in various ritualistic and contradictory ways; "seen and unseen," "living and unliving," "nowhere and everywhere," and similar.
The act of perception in these environments is associated with physical pain, often resembling a severe migraine.
These environments seem hyper-real to the subjects experiencing them.
Once subjects become aware of this imagined environment, their perception of it becomes obsessive and progressively more intense over time. Once a subject reaches this stage, they will continue to experience these fantasies and dreams regardless of any therapeutic, chemical or surgical intervention yet attempted. The perceptions of this environment will erode the subject's ability to interact with the world around them, eventually intruding on the waking conscious mind until the subject can only react to elements within the fantasy.
These symptoms may occur when listening to the recording backward or forward, though they present more intensely when the recording is heard as it is naturally played on SCP-1666, backwards. Analog recordings of SCP-1666 will also show these effects to a lesser extent. Digital copies do not seem to present the same dangers.

tale

Hello! If you're reading this, then we welcome you to Vanguard's Legal & Licensing department!
Ever since we revealed ourselves to the public, Vanguard has received a lot of requests to license, document, and/or artistically depict material under our organization's umbrella, from the VNPs we have on file to our past as the SCP Foundation.
However, just because our organization is public doesn't mean anything about us is free for anyone to use. All documentation and information is released under a Vanguard Public License , which means they are free to view and reproduce, but derivative for-profit works must follow Vanguard guidelines.
The three guidelines are as follows:
The information must only be presented in non-fictional and educational contexts, such as history books, biographies, and documentaries.
Coverage of sapient living individuals requires the consent of all parties involved. Coverage of deceased individuals is exempt, except for cases in which they are represented by an estate or next-of-kin .
The media must not present the information in misleading or false/untrue lights.
These guidelines are non-negotiable and unwavering.
Now, due to some incidents caused by prior members of VL&L, let me list what the guidelines are not for:
Stifling of public discussion about Vanguard and/or its past
Pursuing creatives (professional or amateur) who do not sell their works for profit
Libel and/or slander litigations against comedians, meme creators, internet posts, etc.
We are not against people making fun of us or our past, being uninformed, or creating art. We simply do not wish for people to maliciously spread misinformation about Vanguard and our predecessor organization.
Anyway, this page is meant as documentation of licensing proposals that we have rejected in one way or another. This information is not applicable with the Vanguard Public License, and remains confidential to Vanguard Legal & Licensing. Dissemination of the contents of these pages is subject to disciplinary action.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at gro.draugnav.lagel|ztakpp#gro.draugnav.lagel|ztakpp .

Looking Ahead - SCP Foundation

tale
|
An old man sat at his desk. The beeping and buzzing of the lab in the adjoining room produced a repetitive tune. He looked at the pictures on his desk. A melancholy smile crept on his lips.
"Hey, Jake."
The man looked up. A colleague stood in the doorway.
"You wanted me to swing by. What's up?"
"Afternoon, Roland," the man replied. "Go ahead and close the door."
He waited for his colleague to take a seat.
"How's Lyssa?"
"Can't complain," his colleague chuckled. "How about you? Kate? The kids?"
"Fine, as always," the man said.
The two men paused. The beeping and buzzing of the adjoining lab filled the gap.
"So. What's up?" his colleague eventually asked.
The man sighed and looked once more over the pictures on his desk.
Family. Old friends.
"Do you think after I'm gone, someone will still mention me?" the man asked. "Like, twenty years from now, they'll say 'Conwell sure had a solid lab. A lot of great publications came out of there' or something?"
His colleague raised an eyebrow. "Yeah. Sure. You've done some solid work."
The man looked at his colleague and sighed. Then tilted his head.
"I mean, I don't know," his colleague continued. "A lot of great stuff gets swept under the rug here, absorbed into bigger projects, or just forgotten under a pile of more noteworthy publications. If we wanted to be rock stars, the Foundation wasn't an ideal employer."
The man nodded.
"I think it’s time," he finally said.
"Time?"
"Time."
His colleague frowned and looked down at the floor in thought.
"I guess I've got to at least ask why."
The man looked around. His chair made a few revolutions.
"There is just not a lot here for me anymore." The man shrugged.
"Bullshit. I know for a fact you're constantly publishing. Synth orders come in all the time."
The man shook his head.
"That's not what I meant."
"Christ, Jake, what the hell did you mean then?"
"Look around you, Roland. Everyone's left."
The man counted on his fingers.
"Zach. Ed. Jean. Dan. Rose. Hell, even Adileh and Arvind went their own ways. This was never about the fame, Roland. This was always about the people I worked with. They made the job tolerable. Enjoyable, even. And they helped me through a lot of tough spots."
His colleague closed his eyes and nodded.
"I'm still here though," he said in a low voice. "I'll notice if you leave."
"That's part of what makes this so hard."
His colleague's lips briefly curved up.
"What the hell will you even do once you're gone? Golf?"
"I don't know. Spend more time with Kate. Spend more time with Zach and Carrie. Maybe there is more for me to do here. Maybe not. But it’s time to put a signature on the damn thing and walk away before my wheels spin too much."
The man then stood and offered a handshake. His colleague accepted.
"You're a good man, Roland," he said. "The best friend I ever had. Promise me you'll look after the place."
"I can't imagine anyone will do more damage to it than you did," his colleague chuckled.
A final pause.
"You're shit at goodbyes, you know that."
"Kate's said as much. Maybe that's something I can work on."

Dance The Danse - SCP Foundation
|
tale
|
Halloween is a special time in Sloth's Pit. It is the time that creatures of the night walk in the day, and the legends of the world dance.
The Eight Rings was the biggest- and the only- night club in the town of Sloth's Pit. It was named after the grove it was built on, which got the name due to the fact that eight fairy rings dotted the grove, forming an almost perfect circle, or rather, an octogram. Now, the Eight Rings was famous for three things: their mozzarella sticks, the abundant amounts of ecstasy, and their Halloween parties.
It was for this reason that the man clad in black was going here. He sucked on his tobacco pipe, his fedora concealing his features, and his long, black coat trailing down to his feet. This, however, was not his costume; the man in black had decided to go as himself, and would be meeting with several others who were doing the same. It was time for the yearly Dance.
A loud hum rang in the man's ears as he pushed through the door of the nightclub, the pseudo-techno beat of the music pounding in his ears. He took off his coat, revealing a rather classy-looking black suit, with a red shirt and black bowtie. Taking off his hat, the stranger revealed the mask that was his face: the head of a goat, with short horns and yellow eyes with hourglass pupils.
The Goatman had arrived.
Halloween is the time of year that the legends are strongest. It's not for the reason you think; it's not because of some witch's sabbath or the worlds of magic and reality coming together. It's because that, at Halloween, the most stories are told, and the imagination of the town is the most active.
The Eight Rings was full of costumed patrons. Most of them were generic; crappy vampire fangs, a bad witch's hat, a werewolf mask that one could barely breathe through, or an ironically immature "adult" costume. A few people had actually bothered, though; a Harry Potter was there with a Ginny Weasley, both wearing handmade robes and custom-crafted wands. In the corner, Slenderman towered over the crowd, lifting up his face occasionally so he could eat some fried cheese. There was even a woman there dressed as a satyr, which made the Goatman smile; not the same species, but close enough.
"All right, Humbug," said the Goatman, walking through the club and apparently talking to himself, "Where is everyone?"
Hooky is near the bar along with The Lizardman, said the Hum, a phantom noise that, at the moment, only he could hear. Sinning Jessie is with one of the Gallows Ghosts in one of the booths. And the King of Knives is…
"Boo." The Goatman spun around to face a man wearing a rather nasty Chelsea grin, revealing decaying teeth, his body adorned with several bandoliers and knives, all spattered in blood. The King of Knives had been the favored boogieman in Sloth's Pit since the 1890's, when the murderer Joseph Macek was hung. The King was the Legend of Macek given form, and would slaughter children in their sleep if they were naughty. He was now largely a campfire story, like most of the Legends of Sloth's Pit.
"Hello, Joseph. Staying out of trouble, I hope?" The Goatman continued chewing on his pipe; like everywhere else in this town nowadays, the Eight Rings was non-smoking, excepting a room in the back.
"Yes, yes, yes. Ol' Joe is behavin'. Not killed in a while." He nodded furiously, and took the Goatman's arm. "Comeon. Sebastian and Lovebird are waitin'." He dragged the Goatman over to the bar.
"Hey, Goats!" Sebastian, the Hook-handed man, raised his stump of a hand towards him; said stump was currently covered by a fake pirate hook. "I read about you in the papers a few months back! I thought the Plastic Fanatics woulda caught ya for sure!"
The Goatman snorted. "The Fanatics couldn't catch a Hodag with its feet tied in an empty room." He pulled himself up the the bar, sitting next to Lovebird, one of the few lizardmen that still inhabited this town. "How're you holding up, then, L.B.?"
"It'sssss difficult," hissed the reptile being. "Jussst look at me. I look more man than lizard now." And indeed, he did; he looked like a human that was simply covered in scales, as if he had some kind of bizarre medical condition or was wearing full-body makeup that made it look like he had one.
"How many are here?" asked Macek, toying with one of his rather anachronistic combat knives, which earned him a look of disdain from Dracula the Bartender. "All of us is four…"
"Jessie and one of the ghosts are here, according to Humbug," the Goatman pointed at thin air. "So that's six. The Hum makes seven…" He frowned. "We need one more."
"Where are we going to get one more?" asked Sebastian, fiddling with his hook. "Eight of us have to dance, and last I checked, the only viable candidate is the Melonheads. They aren't allowed in because they look like kids!"
"They're older than me," grumbled the Goatman, with an almost bitter note to his voice. "We'll worry about it in a bit. For now… I'm thirsty. Bartender, a mojito please." Dracula the Bartender didn't even bother to card the Goatman, and mixed him the drink.
We could always ask Mary, chimed the Hum, which caused all the assembled legends to groan. What? She's one of us.
"Bloody Mary is not an option," Sebastian stated firmly, tapping his hook against the bar. "Unless you're talking about the drink, in which case, I'm all for it."
Lovebird nodded in assent. "Sssshe tried to break into one of the sssschools in town. Sssssome dumb third grader sssssaid her name in the bathroom."
"Really?" said the Goatman, looking up from his drink. "What happened?"
"The Fanaticssss had to be called in," said Lovebird. "A kid wasss maimed, but they're all right now. Mary'sss back in the mirrors." The lizard shook his head. "Sssso, no. Mary is a last resssort, at bessst. We ssstill have a while until midnight, anyway…"
The shadow in the alley could be the King of Knives about to jump out at you just as easily as it could be a stray cat. The people in the town's square in period garb could be real, or they could be one of the several Gallows Ghosts. Is that really the TV you heard in the bathroom, or was Bloody Mary whispering at you to let her out of your mirror?
The Goatman eventually wandered away from the bar, over to the booth where Jessie and the Ghost were. The ghost, he saw, was that of a woman, probably hung for theft; she waved at the Goatman silently, getting up to join the rest of the Legends at the bar. He sat down next to Sinning- or was it Singing?- Jessie. "Jessica."
"Capricorn." The Goatman frowned; he really did hate that nickname. "How goes it?" Jessie sounded almost… bitter. The Goatman couldn't blame her; having your legend decay was a painful experience.
"It goes, it goes." He shook his head. "Humbug told me about your… dilemma. You have my condolences."
Jessie turned away, brushing a lock of hair out of her face. She was supposed to be wearing a costume that made her look like a lady of the night circa 1880 or so, but now, she looked… bland. She was wearing a costume that made her look like a simple, generic ghost; blood around the mouth, a tattered wedding dress, and hair that looked like it was billowing in the breeze.
" Singing Jessie. Singing ." She sniffed. "I'm not a god-damn banshee, Goats. That's what they're reimagining me as, you know. A forebearer of death. I used to be the fear of sex itself; bed me and you would get your dick eaten." She rubbed her face. "Now I'm just another spook in the night." The Goatman put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Legends change, Jessica. You, Joseph and Sebastian should consider yourselves lucky; at least you still have your stories told."
Jessica sighed, rubbing an eye."I want my old legend back. Sebastian is at least published, and Macek is based on an actual person. Me? I'm a story conjured up to try and get people to stop buying sex." She leaned against the Goatman and sighed dramatically. "I just hope I remember when I was like that after… after I've changed."
"Jessica… I truly am sorry." He awkwardly wrapped his arms around Jessica in a hug, which she returned, before pulling away. "…have you picked out a dance partner for tonight?"
At midnight on Halloween, the monsters of the town assemble at the Grove of the Eight Rings and each stand in one of the rings. Then, they start their dance. They say you can find them all dancing in peace in the grove, their differences forgotten. If a human is to enter the grove, then they will be freely admitted into the dance, and awake in the middle of the woods, reborn as a monster.
"For the last time," said the Goatman to the Hum, "we are not calling Bloody Mary." The Goatman had withdrawn into the bathroom of the Eight Rings, which was empty except for the "werewolf" in the corner, who was probably tripping balls.
It'll even it out, though, mumbled the Hum. I'm genderless, Jessica and the Ghost are both women… and the dance starts in 15 minutes! We don't have a choice.
"What about the werefrogs?" asked the Goatman. "Or-or the Queen of the Hoop Snakes? She's in town, right?"
Left yesterday, sighed the Hum. Come on. I'll get rid of the day tripper over there, and you call her. With that, the Hum started talking to the fake werewolf, and the Goatman shut off the lights in the bathroom, looking in one of the cracked mirrors.
"Bloody Mary," he intoned once. "Bloody Mary." Twice. "Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary!" A ghost leaped from the mirror, screaming at the Goatman, all covered in dripping blood, her hair ragged and ruffled. She couldn't have been more than 16 when she died in front of her mirror, but here she was… Bloody Mary Thompson.
"Oh ho ho. The Goatman of Sloth's Pit." Bloody Mary stepped out of the mirror and onto the tile floor, grinning. "What is it you want, hmm? Do you finally want to overthrow the influence of the Plasti-"
"The Dance is tonight, Mary." The Goatman stamped his hoof. "We need an eighth. You're the only one we can contact. So cut the spooky nonsense for one night and dance."
The ghostly girl grinned. "Very well then. For the sake of your silly tradition, I shall dance. Tell me, whom will I be dancing with?"
The Goatman thought for a moment, before deciding.
"The King of Knives is in need of a partner. I daresay the two of you suit each other quite well. Just… don't get any blood on the dance floor." As he said this, Bloody Mary seemed to transform; she was now wearing a bright red witch's outfit, complete with stereotypical hat and a broomstick. "…what an appropriate choice… but I would replace the "w" with a "b"."
Bloody Mary stuck her tongue out at him. "Happy Halloween, Goatman." She cackled, and walked out of the restroom, the Goatman following after.
The monsters dance their dance until dawn. Nobody knows why the monsters and myths dance, only the monsters know. It happens every year; maybe you, too, will see the Monsters dance in the woods of Wisconsin.
It was midnight. The DJ, who had dressed himself to look like a zombie, put on Danse Macabre . It was a cliche song choice, but rather appropriate. With that, as with every year, the dance floor cleared. Nobody knew why the dance floor was cleared at midnight, and why only seven people were ever on it during this time; it was just club tradition.
Seven people that were visible, and an eighth that wasn't but was omnipresent, partnered up and began waltzing. The witch with the psychopath, the goat with the girl, the hook-handed man with the ghost, and the lizard man seemingly danced alone. Halfway through the song, they began speaking.
"Now we dance the dance of tales," said the males, looking at their partners, or in Lovebird's case, at thin air.
"So we may be told again," replied the females, as well as the hum, who was audible to all. The newcomers in the audience looked around, confused at the origin of the humming voice.
"For our beings to survive…"
"Our stories must never end."
"Wonder-born by word of mouth-"
"As the ageless stars do soar-"
"May you stand the tides of time-"
"And remain forevermore," said all of the Legends in unison, turning towards the entrance of the Eight Rings. They raised their hands, hooked their arms, and exited with their partners in a procession, the audience applauding, some of them confused.
Outside the club, the Legends all looked at each other, and bowed. Bloody Mary, her purpose spent, disappeared to the space behind mirrors from whence she came. Sebastian, the Hook-handed man, and Joseph, King of Knives, went off into the woods. The Goatman walked with Sinning/Singing Jessie, while Lovebird the Lizardman dove into the sewer grate near the nightclub. The Gallows Ghost simply vanished, while the Hum kept humming.
"Capricorn," Jessica looked at the Goatman. "Do you think the dance really does anything?"
"I don't know," the Goatman admitted. "My father always said that the dance was vital to our survival. He did it every year with some of the other Legends that were around back then. Just like grandad did before him." He shook his head mournfully, and then looked at Jessie, a smile crossing his face. "It at least raises morale. I mean, just look at yourself."
Sinning Jessie looked down at her clothing; they had gone from being tattered, ethereal rags to a rather scandalous dress. Well, scandalous if you lived back in the 1800s. Bright red, with a purple sash around the middle, and a corset visible underneath the ensemble. She gasped. "…how long will it last?"
The Goatman shrugged. "Probably a night or two. Enjoy it the best you can." He shook his head, patting Jessica on the shoulder. "Happy Halloween, Sinning Jessie."
"Happy Halloween to you, Goatman." The Goatman turned, lighting his pipe and walking off into the woods.
"See you next year?"
"Sooner, if I can help it!" The Goatman disappeared into the darkness of the morning of All Hallow's Day.

Item #: SCP-195
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: One case containing seventeen (17) bottles of SCP-195 exists in Foundation custody. It is kept in a number three Secure Containment Locker unit in the Safe-class storage section of Site-1279. Access to SCP-195 requires written authorisation from no fewer than two Level Four personnel and accompaniment by a member of site security. Due to the untested possibility of exposure due to the inhalation of evaporated SCP-195, access requires full level-C HAZMAT kit including respirator gear.
It is possible that further instances of SCP-195 exist. All recovery agents are advised to make note of bottles of similar style or bearing similar labels to contained samples of SCP-195, as well as [REDACTED]. Should further instances of SCP-195 be discovered, they are to be collected by a temporary containment team in full HAZMAT kit including respirators.
Description: SCP-195 is a "medicinal whiskey" sold by a pair of traveling salesmen in the pre-Civil War South. Various historical sources agree that the "whiskey" was targeted primarily to the slavecatchers of that era, and was advertised as having "mind-enhancing" properties. These sources agree that the salesmen were often driven out of town when the side effects of their concoction were discovered, and were "…hanged for their devilsh ways [ sic ]" on at least two occasions.
When a subject consumes any quantity of SCP-195, they will initially react in a manner consistent with the consumption of an equal quantity of "gutrot" whiskey or moonshine. Within a short span of time (time frame varies by subject), they begin to experience heightened awareness and increased sensory input (taste, touch, smell, et cetera). This effect of the "whiskey" was advertised by its salesmen and was the reason for its target audience. With this heightened sensory capability, however, comes a general decrease in impulse control and heightened fight-or-flight response which has, in testing, been shown to lead to markedly increased levels of violent behavior. This response is theorized to explain the brutality shown by [DATA EXPUNGED].
D-Class under the effect of SCP-195 were capable of and willing to [DATA EXPUNGED]ing to enjoy the violence of the act. D-183578 (first-degree murder, rape; terminated) expressed a desire to "rip the █████'s head off with my teeth" [ sic ]. Further testing on the capacities of SCP-195 is deemed unnecessary. Late research assistant Renfield has been posthumously awarded a Foundation citation for performance above and beyond the requirements of duty.
D-12322 (protocol 12) one month after consuming a bottle of SCP-195
After the "whiskey's" effects wear off, the test subjects will generally return to normal, with the exception of those who [DATA EXPUNGED]. Within a month, however, all subjects will experience a generalized feeling of ennui coupled with fatigue. MRI scans at this stage show development of ulcer-like wounds in the stomach and lungs. These continue to spread indefinitely until the death of the subject. Additionally, the subject's skin and muscle structure begins to degrade, particularly around points of stress or motion. This degradation also continues indefinitely or until the death of the subject.
SCP-195 was discovered by the ██-year-old son of a historian in ██████, Alabama, in late 20██. Mr. ████████'s arrest and sentencing for the murder of [REDACTED] was an item of minor interest in local news in the area. The Foundation became interested in Mr. ████████'s case when he was admitted to a hospital, at which point the unusual degradation of his skin and organs was noted by Foundation informants in the medical community and traced back to an antebellum home where he had assisted his father in cataloging various items of historical interest. A Foundation team was dispatched to the home and located an open case containing ██ bottles of SCP-195.
Addendum: Historical sources' descriptions of the salesmen seem to agree that one man was blond and unusually tall while the other had dark hair and walked with a stoop. Both men had "…strange bright eyes [ sic ]" and wore matching ████████. [REDACTED] match current Fac[DATA EXPUNGED] remain uncaptured. All personnel are reminded that the capture [DATA EXPUNGED]vel six priority.

SCP-195 is a "medicinal whiskey" sold by a pair of traveling salesmen in the pre-Civil War South. Various historical sources agree that the "whiskey" was targeted primarily to the slavecatchers of that era, and was advertised as having "mind-enhancing" properties. These sources agree that the salesmen were often driven out of town when the side effects of their concoction were discovered, and were "…hanged for their devilsh ways [ sic ]" on at least two occasions.
When a subject consumes any quantity of SCP-195, they will initially react in a manner consistent with the consumption of an equal quantity of "gutrot" whiskey or moonshine. Within a short span of time (time frame varies by subject), they begin to experience heightened awareness and increased sensory input (taste, touch, smell, et cetera). This effect of the "whiskey" was advertised by its salesmen and was the reason for its target audience. With this heightened sensory capability, however, comes a general decrease in impulse control and heightened fight-or-flight response which has, in testing, been shown to lead to markedly increased levels of violent behavior. This response is theorized to explain the brutality shown by [DATA EXPUNGED].
D-Class under the effect of SCP-195 were capable of and willing to [DATA EXPUNGED]ing to enjoy the violence of the act. D-183578 (first-degree murder, rape; terminated) expressed a desire to "rip the █████'s head off with my teeth" [ sic ]. Further testing on the capacities of SCP-195 is deemed unnecessary. Late research assistant Renfield has been posthumously awarded a Foundation citation for performance above and beyond the requirements of duty.
D-12322 (protocol 12) one month after consuming a bottle of SCP-195
After the "whiskey's" effects wear off, the test subjects will generally return to normal, with the exception of those who [DATA EXPUNGED]. Within a month, however, all subjects will experience a generalized feeling of ennui coupled with fatigue. MRI scans at this stage show development of ulcer-like wounds in the stomach and lungs. These continue to spread indefinitely until the death of the subject. Additionally, the subject's skin and muscle structure begins to degrade, particularly around points of stress or motion. This degradation also continues indefinitely or until the death of the subject.
SCP-195 was discovered by the ██-year-old son of a historian in ██████, Alabama, in late 20██. Mr. ████████'s arrest and sentencing for the murder of [REDACTED] was an item of minor interest in local news in the area. The Foundation became interested in Mr. ████████'s case when he was admitted to a hospital, at which point the unusual degradation of his skin and organs was noted by Foundation informants in the medical community and traced back to an antebellum home where he had assisted his father in cataloging various items of historical interest. A Foundation team was dispatched to the home and located an open case containing ██ bottles of SCP-195.

CLASSIFIED
Item #: SCP-5208
Safe
Special Containment Procedures
All information regarding SCP-5208-Ω's connection to the anomalous and GOI-5208SD has been purged from historic records and all new information is to be discredited or destroyed.
SCP-5208-1 is held within Safe Class Storage Locker 14 at Site-51. SCP-5208-1 is available for testing to Thaumaturge Division personnel with Level 3/5208 Clearance or higher.
All members of the Site-51 Thaumaturgy Division are to consume no less than 45 grams of Kellogg's cornflakes daily.
Description
SCP-5208-Ω.
SCP-5208 is the collective designation given to a series of events and anomalies related to SCP-5208-Ω, an Abrahamic-Thaumaturge and scientist by the name of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (1852 – 1943). SCP-5208-Ω was a member of a secret esoteric suborder of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, known as the Knights of the Seventh Day (GOI-5208SD), a group tasked with using anomalous means to covertly promote the church's beliefs. SCP-5208-Ω's efforts to eliminate humanity's "sinful vices" emphasized sexual behavior, specifically masturbation. These efforts lead to the creation of SCP-5208-1, SCP-5208-2, and SCP-5208-3.
SCP-5208-1.
SCP-5208-1 is a 1.5-meter wooden staff featuring a crucifix, used as a conduit for thaumaturgic rituals designed by SCP-5208-Ω. Testing revealed that SCP-5208-1, in combination with specific verbal incantations, amplifies its user's thaumaturgic abilities. Analysis revealed SCP-5208-1 to be composed of Mauritian ebony ( Diospyros tessellaria ) treated with a mixture of ammonia and human blood later confirmed to belong to SCP-5208-Ω. SCP-5208-1 was used by SCP-5208-Ω during the creation of the SCP-5208-2 instances.
SCP-5208-2 are a species of non-corporeal humanoid Null-Class Demonic Entities 1 capable of parasitic propagation through human hosts. Instances of SCP-5208-2 display only rudimentary instinctual behavior, such as survival and procreation. Human individuals within a 3-meter radius of SCP-5208-2 will begin showing signs of increased libido; this effect increases as the distance decreases. Within 1 meter the effect of SCP-5208-2 begins showing one or more of the following symptoms:
Hyperarousal
Vascular engorgement of the genitals
Erection of the penis or mammary papilla
Spontaneous ejaculation
Uncontrollable masturbation 2
Heterosexual and homosexual intercourse 3
Voraphilic and necrophillic behavior
Of these symptoms, uncontrollable masturbation is the most common, with more diverse symptoms manifesting with an increased presence of SCP-5208-2 instances. Prolonged exposure of a non-anomalous human to SCP-5208-2 instances causes a new SCP-5208-2 instance to manifest within the exposed person. After vomiting these new instances, the human hosts have an approximately 22% chance of developing long-term chronic exposure symptoms. SCP-5208-2 show an aversion to human subjects who have consumed a full serving of Kellogg's Corn Flakes with a 24-hour period before exposure. This aversion can be overcome when multiple SCP-5208-2 instances are present.
SCP-5208-Ω used SCP-5208-1 and at least 50 SCP-5208-2 instances to enact a combinatorial process that manifested a new entity. This new entity, designated SCP-5208-3, is a Princeps-Class Demonic Entity 4 claiming the name Asmodeus. Measuring approximately 4 meters tall, SCP-5208-3 has a vaguely humanoid body consisting of a black viscous liquid of unidentifiable composition. SCP-5208-3 has been observed to be capable of speech, teleportation, telekinesis, telepathy, and the creation of new SCP-5208-2 instances 5 .
Will Keith Kellogg.
Discovery
SCP-5208 was brought to the attention of the Foundation on 1927/2/23, by SCP-5208-Ω's biological brother and business partner, Will Keith Kellogg (1860 – 1951). SCP-5208-Ω and Mr. Kellogg directed the Battle Creek Sanitarium 6 from 1876 to 1943; SCP-5208-Ω focused on his duties as a member of the GOI-5208SD and Mr. Kellogg directed the Sanitarium's superficial operations. Mr. Kellogg contacted the Foundation through their mutual acquaintance, Asa Candler , and a meeting was organized between Mr. Kellogg and Foundation Investigative Agent James Mueller.

Audio Log Transcript
Date: 1927/2/23
Interviewer: FIA James Mueller
Interviewed: Will Keith Kellogg
[BEGIN LOG]
Mueller: Mr. Kellogg, are you ready to begin?
Kellogg: Remains silent.
Mueller: Is there an issue, sir?
Kellogg: I was told your organization practices discretion; I can't afford to be connected to this.
Mueller: Ah yes, rest assured this recording is for our records and nothing else.
Kellogg: I suppose that's okay, if you insist.
Mueller: Now, why have you called this meeting Mr. Kellogg? Mr. Candler spoke of an imminent threat.
Kellogg: It's my brother. I fear he is in over his head.
Mueller: You're going to need to be more specific, Mr. Kellogg.
Kellogg: My brother is Dr. John Kellogg, he is the Director of the Battle Creek Sanitarium. He's been secretly working for a group called the Knights of the Seventh Day. He has been for a long time now, but things are different. He's changed.
Mueller: We have been investigating the organization for some time now. What–
Kellogg: He's not a bad man. They're trying to do good, I know they are. But this work, those cursed texts have corrupted him. He's blinded by devotion; he can't even see it all unraveling around him.
Mueller: What exactly is your brother's connection with this organization?
Kellogg: His position is known as a Knight Commander, one of seven as I understood it. He has been tasked with the elimination of the sin of lust.
Mueller: As a concept?
Kellogg: As if I would know– I thought it was just a fraternity when I first learned of it years ago. It wasn't until the weird experiments started that I really saw they were doing. Magic, not your Houdini type magic mind you, but real magic. The last few years though…he's changed. He filled an entire wing at Battle Creek with victims of whatever is going on.
Mueller: Does your brother know of your… "concerns"?
Kellogg: He won't listen to me. I could only imagine what he would do if he found out I've come to you for help.
Mueller: I understand, Mr. Kellogg. So, what exactly have you called this meeting to accomplish?
Kellogg: I don't want my brother getting hurt, not by you and certainly not by whatever he's gotten himself wrapped up in. I don't understand the esoteric ways of my brother, I never have– but your organization does, or so I have been told.
Mueller: What exactly do you fear will happen to your brother?
Kellogg: The Church is demanding results; they think he's lost control of the situation and wants to see it rectified. I know my brother is planning something big and I just don't want anything happening to him. He's lost his way– I just want him guided back.
Mueller: I see. Mr. Kellogg, if you'll give me a moment I need to speak with my supervisor.
Kellogg: Will you help him? I'm willing to pay, money is not a–
Mueller: Do not worry about a thing, we'll handle it from here.
[END LOG]
Afterword: Will Kellogg was released under the condition that he assist the Foundation in containing SCP-5208. Following approval, a full-scale investigation of John Kellogg, Battle Creek Sanitarium, and the Knights of the Seventh Day was initiated.
□ Interview 1 | SCP-5208/A-1 □
Investigation
Battle Creek Sanitarium, circa 1927.
Direct investigations into GOI-5208SD were successfully hindered by the effort of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Investigation Task Force Bravo-3 ("Busy Bodies") was tasked with infiltrating the Battle Creek Sanitarium in order to covertly gather information on SCP-5208-Ω and GOI-5208SD. On 1927/3/19, ITF Bravo-3 successfully began its mission.

Second day embedded within Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Summary
The four members of ITF Bravo-3 secured the following positions within the Battle Creek Sanitarium:
Captain Richard Vanholt — Night-Shift Security Captain
Agent Nicholas Easton — Day-Shift Security Guard
Agent Sasha Fettle — Day-Shift Orderly
Agent Cornelius Thompson — Night-Shift Security Guard
The sanitarium is run like a resort, though a large section is inaccessible by most staff and patrons. This section is known as Wing-K and is used by SCP-5208-Ω to conduct its research. SCP-5208-Ω hand-selects the personnel allowed to work within this section, Mr. Kellogg is unable to give the team access. All personnel and patrons are required to eat a bowl of cornflakes for breakfast daily.

Disciplinary Incident
Summary
On 1927/3/24, Agent Easton received a disciplinary mark from the Day-Shift Security Captain for inappropriate behavior. Agent Easton was "getting fresh" while attempting flirtation with several day-shift nurses. A review of Agent Easton's conduct will be conducted at the conclusion of this investigation.
The team is well situated in our positions but have been incapable of gaining entry to Wing-K. Samples of the cornflakes were taken but all testing revealed it to have no abnormal or anomalous properties.

Agent Easton and evidence update.
Summary
Agent Fettle has formalized a complaint that Agent Easton attempted to force himself on her in an unwarranted sexual advance. Whether this is an effect of the anomaly we are investigating, or a lack of proper conduct is currently unknown. Agent Vanholt notes that situations like this are why he was apprehensive regarding the inclusion of women on ITF teams.
The team discovered an array of thaumaturgic symbols surrounding the Battle Creek Sanitarium. The symbols were etched and carved into trees and stones every 3 meters.

Audio Log Transcript
Date: 1927/4/8
Recorder: Captain Vanholt
Foreword: The following recording was taken within Wing K of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, during Agent Vanholt's meeting with SCP-5208-Ω.
[BEGIN LOG]
Vanholt: Hello sir, it is an honor to finally make your acquaintance.
SCP-5208-Ω: Undoubtedly, Mr. Cornwall.
Vanholt: I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity.
SCP-5208-Ω: With my brother's recommendation and a résumé as exemplary as your own, how could I not?
[Both chuckle]
SCP-5208-Ω: Let us begin, follow me. Are you a man of God, Mr. Cornwall?
Vanholt: Of course, Dr. Kellogg.
SCP-5208-Ω: Then I'm sure you're aware this great nation of ours is plagued with ungodliness. Sin running rampant through the streets. Children growing up to never know the love of our Lord and savior– it is our mission here to overturn this complacency, to drag this nation into the light of our lord.
Vanholt: I am unsure I understand, sir.
SCP-5208-Ω: Outside of this wing what does the sanitarium offer its patrons?
Vanholt: I don–
SCP-5208-Ω: Clarity! We offer them clarity, of body and mind. Here though, here is where we offer them clarity of the soul.
Vanholt: How exactly do we do that?
SCP-5208-Ω: By ridding them of the very root of all man's ailments, sin.
Vanholt: That sure sounds swell doctor, but how does that work?
SCP-5208-Ω: Oh so eager, fine Mr. Cornwall, allow me to demonstrate. Right through here, please.
Vanholt: What in the he–
SCP-5208-Ω: Welcome, I'm fairly certain you are well acquainted with my brother.
Kellogg: Please John, I'm begging you, I only meant to help! I was trying to sav–
SCP-5208-Ω: Silence! I will not stand one more treacherous word from your mouth!
Vanholt: Get your hands off me– [The sounds of chains rattling can be heard as Agent Vanholt is presumably restrained.]
SCP-5208-Ω: So the Knights are finally making their move against me. After all I have done, everything I've accomplished!
Kellogg: Please brother, this has gone far enough you need to stop!
SCP-5208-Ω: You brought them here! Your jealousy, your pride, and your arrogance has turned you against me. Worry not brother, you will witness me finish what I have started– one final ritual to rid the world of lust.
[SCP-5208-Ω begins chanting in an unknown language, Mr. Kellogg can be heard screaming incoherently.]

Summary
"Battle Creek has descended into madness." SCP-5208-Ω has been wandering the halls, without clothing, using a staff(SCP-5208-1) to create new SCP-5208-2 instances by striking the patients. This group of SCP-5208-2 instances gathered in the courtyard, participating in a voraphilic ritual with SCP-5208-Ω and the Wing K orderlies. "They created something terrible. It’s turned this whole place topsy-turvy, it's a bloodbath, a massacre, an orgy. Please, send help." Hostile entities are noted as incorporeal and do not respond to standard ammunition or blunt force trauma.

Date: 1927/4/10
Response Team: MSF Zulu-1
Subject: Battle Creek Sanitarium
Squad Leads: Z1/1 - Captain Rochne Callahan, Z1/2 - Lieutenant Michael Johnson
Foreword: MSF Zulu-1 consists of two 5-man squads each tasked with a different objective. Squad 1 is tasked with the containment/eradication of anomalies and apprehending SCP-5208-Ω; Squad 2 is to extract surviving members of ITF Bravo-3. The following is an audio transcription of the event.
Squad 1
[BEGIN LOG]
Z1/1: Entering the eastern wing now.
z1/2: Copy that, entering Southwest wing– switching channels.
[A cacophony of screams and moans can be heard as Squad 1 enters the sanitarium]
Z1/1: Alright folks, we have an unknown amount of hostile entities and about 300 civilians. Call out your targets– we don't want any unnecessary casualties.
[Squad 1 can be heard giving various affirmations.]
Z1/3: [Sound of a wooden door scraping open] This way, Wing K should be at the end of this corridor.
Z1/1: Three and Six, you take the lead. Four and Five, cover the rear.
Z1/3: Look alive, we have company.
Z1/6: This broad isn't wearing any clothes.
Z1/1: Leave her, concealment will take care of the civilians once we've cleared the area.
Civilian: You want a lick, daddy?
Z1/3: Hey hands off lady, the fuck is wrong with you.
Z1/1: Just keep it moving.
[Civilian can be heard screaming incoherently.]
Z1/2: Made contact with hostiles. Thaumic rounds work swell, just don't stand too close when you shoot them– might get a little heated.
Z1/1: Copy that. Good to know, Two.
Z1/5: Hostile incoming, six o'clock.
[Gunshots can be heard followed by the roar of a flame.]
Z1/6: Well ain't that the bee's knees. This is going to be a cakewalk.
Z1/1: Let's not start counting our chickens just yet. How much further Three?
Z1/3: That door right up there should be Wing K.
Squad 2 :
Z1/2: Keep an eye out, we should be getting close.
Z1/7: One more broad asks to touch my johnson and I'll be half inclined to let 'em.
Z1/10: About the only way you'll see any action at all.
[Laughter.]
Z1/8: Woah, hold it guys– we're here. See, "Female Staff Dormitories." Fettle should be through here.
Z1/2: Nine, Ten you stay here and guard the door. Everyone else on me.
[Moaning and the sound of bed frames squeezing can be heard.]

Fettle: What're the safe words?
Z1/2: Orange, Centipede, West.

Fettle: Well it's about time. Wait– this isn't the whole response team, is it?
Z1/2: No– we're Squad 2, Squad 1 is handling Wing K.
Fettle: Wing K? Please tell me there's more than 3 of them.
Z1/7: 5-man squad, just like us.
Fettle: That's not enough– they've got to get out of there!
Z1/7: Don't worry sweetheart, they're well trained. Besides, these shadow entities are a cakewalk.
Fettle: They're not the only thing here, you have to warn them!
Z1/2: Squad 1, do you copy? Squad 1, come in. Captain? Shit.
Fettle: It's already too late, isn't it?
Z1/2: We need to stay on task, Squad 1 has their mission and we have ours. Do you have any idea where the rest of your team is, Agent Fettle?
Fettle: Thompson's out. Dead. Vanholt and Easton's last known location was… Wing K.

Vanholt: A few of the orderlies… Th–they ate Easton. I… I don't know what happened to Fettle or Thompson.
Z1/1: Okay. We should keep moving.
Vanholt: Wait Captain, how much of the situation are you aware of?
Z1/1: We've seen hostile entities, taken them out. Thaumic rounds work wonders.
Vanholt: Have you seen it? The big one?
Z1/1: We have not. We are to capture the main anomaly and Dr. Kellogg.
Vanholt: So before Kellogg created those things, he had a plan. As far as I can tell from his notes, this room was meant to contain the entity.
Z1/1: If you're saying Kellogg meant to capture the entity, why hasn't he?
Vanholt: He doesn't have the presence of mind left to tie his shoelaces, let alone fight that thing. It's been parading him around on a leash.

Battle Creek Sanitarium during response conclusion.
Two-hours after MSF Zulu-1 entered the Battle Creek Sanitarium, several fires broke out across the facility as all SCP-5208-2 instances erupted into flames. Of the 286 civilians within the sanitarium, 192 survived with 161 listed as injured casualties. Amongst the survivors both SCP-5208-Ω and Mr. Kellogg survived, with SCP-5208-Ω sustaining irreparable brain damage during the event. MSF Zulu-1 was able to recover Captain Vanholt, Agent Fettle, SCP-5208-1, and several documents relating to GOI-5208SD 9 . All survivors and civilian witnesses were amnestisized and Cover Story-BK79 (Faulty Gas Valve) was enacted.
Due to SCP-5208-Ω's brain damage and in accordance with the Foundation agreement with Mr. Kellogg, SCP-5208-Ω was administered YM-Grade amnestics and released into the custody of Mr. Kellogg. All public information pertaining to SCP-5208-Ω's involvement with GOI-5208SD was destroyed or confiscated. In return, Mr. Kellogg transferred a 10% holding of The Kellogg Company to the Foundation.

Discovery
SCP-5208 was brought to the attention of the Foundation on 1927/2/23, by SCP-5208-Ω's biological brother and business partner, Will Keith Kellogg (1860 – 1951). SCP-5208-Ω and Mr. Kellogg directed the Battle Creek Sanitarium 6 from 1876 to 1943; SCP-5208-Ω focused on his duties as a member of the GOI-5208SD and Mr. Kellogg directed the Sanitarium's superficial operations. Mr. Kellogg contacted the Foundation through their mutual acquaintance, Asa Candler , and a meeting was organized between Mr. Kellogg and Foundation Investigative Agent James Mueller.

## Log Transcript
Date: 1927/2/23
Interviewer: FIA James Mueller
Interviewed: Will Keith Kellogg
[BEGIN LOG]
Mueller: Mr. Kellogg, are you ready to begin?
Kellogg: Remains silent.
Mueller: Is there an issue, sir?
Kellogg: I was told your organization practices discretion; I can't afford to be connected to this.
Mueller: Ah yes, rest assured this recording is for our records and nothing else.
Kellogg: I suppose that's okay, if you insist.
Mueller: Now, why have you called this meeting Mr. Kellogg? Mr. Candler spoke of an imminent threat.
Kellogg: It's my brother. I fear he is in over his head.
Mueller: You're going to need to be more specific, Mr. Kellogg.
Kellogg: My brother is Dr. John Kellogg, he is the Director of the Battle Creek Sanitarium. He's been secretly working for a group called the Knights of the Seventh Day. He has been for a long time now, but things are different. He's changed.
Mueller: We have been investigating the organization for some time now. What–
Kellogg: He's not a bad man. They're trying to do good, I know they are. But this work, those cursed texts have corrupted him. He's blinded by devotion; he can't even see it all unraveling around him.
Mueller: What exactly is your brother's connection with this organization?
Kellogg: His position is known as a Knight Commander, one of seven as I understood it. He has been tasked with the elimination of the sin of lust.
Mueller: As a concept?
Kellogg: As if I would know– I thought it was just a fraternity when I first learned of it years ago. It wasn't until the weird experiments started that I really saw they were doing. Magic, not your Houdini type magic mind you, but real magic. The last few years though…he's changed. He filled an entire wing at Battle Creek with victims of whatever is going on.
Mueller: Does your brother know of your… "concerns"?
Kellogg: He won't listen to me. I could only imagine what he would do if he found out I've come to you for help.
Mueller: I understand, Mr. Kellogg. So, what exactly have you called this meeting to accomplish?
Kellogg: I don't want my brother getting hurt, not by you and certainly not by whatever he's gotten himself wrapped up in. I don't understand the esoteric ways of my brother, I never have– but your organization does, or so I have been told.
Mueller: What exactly do you fear will happen to your brother?
Kellogg: The Church is demanding results; they think he's lost control of the situation and wants to see it rectified. I know my brother is planning something big and I just don't want anything happening to him. He's lost his way– I just want him guided back.
Mueller: I see. Mr. Kellogg, if you'll give me a moment I need to speak with my supervisor.
Kellogg: Will you help him? I'm willing to pay, money is not a–
Mueller: Do not worry about a thing, we'll handle it from here.
[END LOG]
Afterword: Will Kellogg was released under the condition that he assist the Foundation in containing SCP-5208. Following approval, a full-scale investigation of John Kellogg, Battle Creek Sanitarium, and the Knights of the Seventh Day was initiated.

Second day embedded within Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Summary
The four members of ITF Bravo-3 secured the following positions within the Battle Creek Sanitarium:
Captain Richard Vanholt — Night-Shift Security Captain
Agent Nicholas Easton — Day-Shift Security Guard
Agent Sasha Fettle — Day-Shift Orderly
Agent Cornelius Thompson — Night-Shift Security Guard
The sanitarium is run like a resort, though a large section is inaccessible by most staff and patrons. This section is known as Wing-K and is used by SCP-5208-Ω to conduct its research. SCP-5208-Ω hand-selects the personnel allowed to work within this section, Mr. Kellogg is unable to give the team access. All personnel and patrons are required to eat a bowl of cornflakes for breakfast daily.

Disciplinary Incident
Summary
On 1927/3/24, Agent Easton received a disciplinary mark from the Day-Shift Security Captain for inappropriate behavior. Agent Easton was "getting fresh" while attempting flirtation with several day-shift nurses. A review of Agent Easton's conduct will be conducted at the conclusion of this investigation.
The team is well situated in our positions but have been incapable of gaining entry to Wing-K. Samples of the cornflakes were taken but all testing revealed it to have no abnormal or anomalous properties.

## update.
Summary
Agent Fettle has formalized a complaint that Agent Easton attempted to force himself on her in an unwarranted sexual advance. Whether this is an effect of the anomaly we are investigating, or a lack of proper conduct is currently unknown. Agent Vanholt notes that situations like this are why he was apprehensive regarding the inclusion of women on ITF teams.
The team discovered an array of thaumaturgic symbols surrounding the Battle Creek Sanitarium. The symbols were etched and carved into trees and stones every 3 meters.

Vanholt: Hello sir, it is an honor to finally make your acquaintance.
SCP-5208-Ω: Undoubtedly, Mr. Cornwall.
Vanholt: I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity.
SCP-5208-Ω: With my brother's recommendation and a résumé as exemplary as your own, how could I not?
[Both chuckle]
SCP-5208-Ω: Let us begin, follow me. Are you a man of God, Mr. Cornwall?
Vanholt: Of course, Dr. Kellogg.
SCP-5208-Ω: Then I'm sure you're aware this great nation of ours is plagued with ungodliness. Sin running rampant through the streets. Children growing up to never know the love of our Lord and savior– it is our mission here to overturn this complacency, to drag this nation into the light of our lord.
Vanholt: I am unsure I understand, sir.
SCP-5208-Ω: Outside of this wing what does the sanitarium offer its patrons?
Vanholt: I don–
SCP-5208-Ω: Clarity! We offer them clarity, of body and mind. Here though, here is where we offer them clarity of the soul.
Vanholt: How exactly do we do that?
SCP-5208-Ω: By ridding them of the very root of all man's ailments, sin.
Vanholt: That sure sounds swell doctor, but how does that work?
SCP-5208-Ω: Oh so eager, fine Mr. Cornwall, allow me to demonstrate. Right through here, please.
Vanholt: What in the he–
SCP-5208-Ω: Welcome, I'm fairly certain you are well acquainted with my brother.
Kellogg: Please John, I'm begging you, I only meant to help! I was trying to sav–
SCP-5208-Ω: Silence! I will not stand one more treacherous word from your mouth!
Vanholt: Get your hands off me– [The sounds of chains rattling can be heard as Agent Vanholt is presumably restrained.]
SCP-5208-Ω: So the Knights are finally making their move against me. After all I have done, everything I've accomplished!
Kellogg: Please brother, this has gone far enough you need to stop!
SCP-5208-Ω: You brought them here! Your jealousy, your pride, and your arrogance has turned you against me. Worry not brother, you will witness me finish what I have started– one final ritual to rid the world of lust.

Summary
"Battle Creek has descended into madness." SCP-5208-Ω has been wandering the halls, without clothing, using a staff(SCP-5208-1) to create new SCP-5208-2 instances by striking the patients. This group of SCP-5208-2 instances gathered in the courtyard, participating in a voraphilic ritual with SCP-5208-Ω and the Wing K orderlies. "They created something terrible. It’s turned this whole place topsy-turvy, it's a bloodbath, a massacre, an orgy. Please, send help." Hostile entities are noted as incorporeal and do not respond to standard ammunition or blunt force trauma.

SCP-3602-A-9 with one of its young.
Item #: SCP-3602
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Site-220 is to retain at least one Mandarin-speaking parazoologist specializing in primate behavior and psychology. This researcher, which since 1968 has been Dr. Shufan Shen, is to serve as a liaison to SCP-3602. At least twice weekly, Dr. Shen must conduct visits for the purposes of observation, information gathering, and diplomatic relations. Following Incident-SCP-3602-01, a Mandarin-speaking psychiatrist must also be retained to conduct bi-monthly therapy sessions with each instance of SCP-3602-A.
All instances of SCP-3602-A and SCP-3602-B are to be contained within a secluded region of Site-220's Parazoology Reserve , known publicly as the Baihe Natural Reserve. 1 Each instance is to be fitted with a remote tracking device, with newborn SCP-3602-B instances receiving one at 6 months of age. Remote surveillance of SCP-3602 is to be maintained at all times, with the recording of SCP-3602-A instances prioritized. Any attempt by an SCP-3602 instance to leave the Parazoology reserve is to be punished by 1 week of confinement within Site-220's holding cells. Repeat offenses are to be punished by confinement periods with lengths escalated accordingly.
Description: SCP-3602 is a community of approximately 400 Rhinopithecus roxellana , more commonly known as the Golden snub-nosed monkey. All instances of SCP-3602 are sapient and capable of human speech. Mandarin serves as the primary means of communication, with several local dialects spoken less commonly by older members of the community. Instances have no physiological deviations from non-anomalous specimens, and, with the exception of SCP-3602-A instances, have identical sustenance needs and lifespans. How SCP-3602 instances are capable of human vocalization despite the lack of morphological deviation is unknown. The community makes regular use of simple tools, and is able to utilize fire as a source of warmth.
The SCP-3602 population is divided into two distinct groups, SCP-3602-A and SCP-3602-B. SCP-3602-A is a group of 18 specimens that are biologically immortal, with an estimated age of 1800-2200 years. SCP-3602-A serve as the leaders of the community, with roles analogous to that of tribal elders in many human societies. SCP-3602-A instances are incapable of sustaining serious injury regardless of circumstance, and appear to display a high degree of metaphysical permanence. SCP-3602-B instances form the remainder of the community, and are all descended directly or indirectly from the 18 instances of SCP-3602-A.
SCP-3602-A claim to be followers of the Chinese deity Sun Wukong, who they credit for their sapience and immortality. 2 The oral history of the community is primarily based on Wukong and his exploits. Particular emphasis is placed on his rebellion against the Jade Emperor and the defacement of the register of death, the latter of which is claimed to be the reason SCP-3602-A are unable to die. Tales often end with an instance of SCP-3602-A informing the assembled SCP-3602-B instances that Wukong will someday return to lead them to glory. Multiple instances of SCP-3602-A have confided to Dr. Shen that the storytelling is intended to motivate SCP-3602-B towards ambition and self improvement.
SCP-3602-B display noticeably lower intelligence than their immortal forebears, with most having comparable intelligence to Human children aged 5 to 9. Subjects are generally cheerful, easily amused, and have a low attention span. On three occasions between 1968 and 1981, Dr. Shen observed a large scale effort by SCP-3602-A to educate SCP-3602-B on the use of more complex tools. Most notably, in 1975 SCP-3602-A attempted to convince SCP-3602-B to construct and reside in permanent structures. These attempts have failed without exception due to lack of interest on the part of SCP-3602-B, who often mollify their elders by displaying usage of more simple tools instead.
Incident SCP-3602-01: On 04/04/1984, SCP-3602-A-9 attempted suicide via self immolation, but was unsuccessful due to its anomalous qualities. Instance was then taken to Site-220 for interrogation regarding the incident.

Interviewed: SCP-3602-A-9. Subject is among the primary matriarchs of the community, and responds to the name Sun Daiyu.
Interviewer: Dr. Shufan Shen
Foreword: Subject was in considerable emotional distress during transport to Site 220, and 2 days elapsed before subject was considered calm enough to be interviewed. Interview is translated from the original Mandarin.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Shen: "Daiyu, what happened? You've never shown suicidal urges before, why did you try to kill yourself?"
SCP-3602-A-9: "Oh tall one 3 , you've walked among us for more than ten years and yet know so little. This isn't the first time I've tried, nor will it be the last. All among the elders have tried at least once."
Dr. Shen: "…Why? You all have your children, your family, your history. I just don't understand."
SCP-3602-A-9: "I have lived for two thousand winters. In that time I have birthed, raised, and outlived countless numbers of my children. I have watched our home disappear and the brief glory of our past be forgotten. Sun Wukong raised us up, made us immortal, and together we challenged the gods themselves. How could we ever be satisfied living like the animals we once were? We saw the sun and now walk in the mud for years unending. And wherever our Father is, he has forgotten us."
SCP-3602-A-9: "Our children don't understand us. They live brief lives and are content to be mere animals. I am not. I wish I had died when I had the chance. I wish that Wukong had never hatched from the stone egg. I wish that he had remained trapped beneath the mountain, burned by Laozi's fire for all time. It would have been a kinder fate than the one he forced upon us."
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Dr. Shen submitted a proposal to utilize anomalous means to terminate SCP-3602-A instances should they request euthanasia. Proposal was considered by the regional ethics committee, and denied in a 5 to 4 vote.
