Outstanding! Let’s get to the list! NUMBER FIVE: SCP-008
A true classic in many different ways, 008 definitely has a license to kill.
It’s not employed by the Secret Intelligence Service though.
No, 008 is essentially a zombie virus. This complex prion has 100% infectiousness,
and 100% lethality. So if you come in contact with it, you’re
cooked. Sorry! Enjoy zombiehood! It can be transmitted through exposed mucus
membranes and bodily fluids, and miraculously is not airborne or waterborne.
So it’s pretty infectious, more or less flu-like, but won’t spread quite as quickly
as wildfire. If you’re worried you might have been infected,
take note of your symptoms. If they started more than 20 hours ago, and
haven’t progressed to coma, you’re probably fine.
However, if you start to notice any of these symptoms early on, I’d start to worry.
First it causes flu-like symptoms with high fever.
Eventually these will progress and cause severe dementia.
Once the dementia progresses far enough, a comatose state will be induced.
Cellular necrosis begins, leading to symptoms similar to gangrene.
Then the red blood cells increase their oxygen storage capacity, which means slower blood
flow, and increased muscle strength and endurance. Metabolism flatlines, and infected folks can
survive on years without nutrition. Then, people start acting like zombies.
Slow walking, shambling, groaning humanoids with a taste for human flesh.
If the 008-infectee notices any sights, sounds, or smells associated with living humans, it’ll
make its way in that direction. In classic zombie style, the only way to cure
the disease is with severe trauma to the head. Headshots only. No cures.
Containment is basically quarantine and incineration. Brutal.
However, SCP-500 has been shown to cure the disease, even in advanced stages.
Too bad there’s less than 50 doses of 500 left.
Right now, researchers think that 008 did not form naturally on Earth.
Alien zombie plague! I feel like I’ve seen that in the B-movie section...
NUMBER FOUR: SCP-1810 This freaky fellow is a tall, French-speaking
humanoid covered in charcoal gray cloth. Nobody’s seen the face behind the drapery,
although there are two large metal discs in place of its ears.
While being extremely tall and preternaturally strong, 1810 has the mind of a child, and
prefers to be called Pierrot. In the 70 years since initial containment,
Pierrot has not physically changed or aged at all.
Some theorize that he’s immune to the effects of aging, and will continue living until “decommissioned.”
1810 has no abnormal healing abilities, though, and will heal at a similar rate to most humans.
It’s major anomalous properties will manifest when within 500m of a child it deems “lost.”
Pierrot will then fixate upon taking that child into his care, and provide for their
wants and needs. However, there seems to be a massive disconnect
between what the child actually needs, and what it thinks the child needs.
This could mean stealing, committing acts of violence, or locking the children up for
“their own protection.” He can become even more unnaturally strong
in situations like this. 1810 was initially discovered in Paris in
the 1940s, as he was kidnapping children and stealing objects.
Upon containment, the Foundation planted a cover story of a carnival worker kidnapping
children, which seems to have stuck. Even under Foundation custody, Pierrot will
freak out when he thinks children need help. This often happens when he is shown media
with children in prominent roles. One particularly dangerous incident occurred
when he was shown a TV show dealing with issues like bullying and peer pressure.
He smashed the TV, and tore through the containment cell’s door, screaming that he needed to
PROTECT THE BABIES. Since then, the Foundation has been a little
more careful in what they show. Upon interviewing one of the children PROTECTED
by Pierrot, it was discovered that he had many children under his watchful eye, and
that he was totally misguided in his attempts to care for the children.
Most days would be spend galavanting in the tunnels, eating what can only be assumed was
rats, and giving poorly-made gifts. The girl recalls him providing her with a “real”
unicorn, but it was always tired. What was really gifted was a mutilated horse
with a fake horn. Oh boy.
Post-containment, many emaciated corpses were found in locked rooms.
Not the ideal caretaker. NUMBER THREE: SCP-772
Currently, this one slumbers in a complex network of icy tunnels.
If it were to ever wake, we’d all be in huge trouble.
772 was found in greenland by a team of folks researching global warming.
While exploring a glacier, a vast network of tunnels was discovered.
The team found a chamber hosting a large, coiled, serpentine body.
Soon after this discovery, the folks present felt ill symptoms of all varieties.
Swollen lymph nodes, necrosis of skin, and more.
By nightfall, every last one of them was dead. A Foundation agent caught wind of the story,
and began investigating. The SCP itself is a giant, terrestrial serpent
of unknown origin, coiled through a series of tunnels.
Some of the tunnels are marked with ancient Nordic script that predates the settlement
of the island by Erik the Red at the turn of the 11th century.
Nobody is sure how long it has been sleeping, but we’re sure glad it is.
A great deal of its body is embedded in the glacier, probably due to it shifting and changing
over time. Even though it is hypothetically stuck, nobody
wants to test the structural stability of this glacier.
Keep it that way, please. In addition to its immense size, this snake
has a particularly deadly defensive ability that I may or may not have alluded to earlier
in the entry. The serpent’s skin secretes a toxin that
has yet to be identified, and currently has no antidote.
It also causes death in all manners of ways, there is no consistent deadly effect.
The toxin has also been found in less potent concentrations coming from the snake’s breath.
So yeah, it could also weaponize this deadly, unknowable poison.
Great! Giant, death-exuding snake! Who wants to make the trip to Greenland with
me? NUMBER TWO: SCP-3008
This is one of my personal favourites, just because of how relatable it is.
IKEAs freak me out a little. They’re gigantic, and every time I go into one the arrangement
is all different. Where I thought would be scented candles is now full of pop art prints.
The bedding area is full of shower curtains. Why can’t I find a doormat? Where’s the
exit again? 3008 is a big, abandoned IKEA.
From the outside, it’s totally normal. If you enter from anywhere but the front door,
it’s just an empty building. BUT. If you walk through those front doors
and out of sight, you’re relocated to 3008-1: the Infinite IKEA.
I heard Kubrick was in pre-production for this way back when.
The inside of 3008-1 is a space resembling the inside of an IKEA, but like, waaaaaay
bigger. No visible walls, no visual clues that it
might terminate at some point. Even laser rangefinders have brought up inconclusive
results. The space might be infinite.
An unknown amount of people are trapped within, and have been since before the Foundation
put containment into effect. The Ikea-ites have formed rudimentary civilizations,
and built fortifications and settlements to defend against 3008-2.
This is where things get weird. These faceless exaggerated Ikea employees
walk around during the day as if they were perusing the show floor.
However, whenever night falls, they become extremely aggressive, attacking folks and
uttering the phrase “The store is now closed, please exit the building.”
I guess IKEA got serious about their security after all those vloggers stayed overnight.
These odd-ball employees will lay siege to different settlements, and have successfully
brought many fortifications down. Apparently they’re attracted to pieces of
other employees, so you’d better be pretty meticulous while cleaning up post-battle.
There are exits to the outside world, but their locations are inconsistent.
So far, only one human male has escaped during containment, and was followed by an instance
of 3008-2. The faceless noid killed the man, and was
subsequently gunned down by Foundation personnel. An IKEA notebook was found in the man’s
pocket, with an account of his experience in the furniture store.
His journal depicts a bleak existence, but not one totally devoid of hope.
While surviving on Swedish meatballs and bottled water, he discovered that most people trapped
in the IKEA were not from the same time, place, or even universe.
My theory is that the IKEA opens up in all sorts of different dimensions, taking in a
few people at a time. How else would hundreds of people go missing with no recourse?
NUMBER ONE: SCP-1730 What happened to Site-13? Seriously! I can
only hope to give you the barest of bare-bones explanations here.
1730 is an entire Foundation site from a different timeline, or universe, or dimension, there’s
no way to confirm that. At one point it was full of anomalies, researchers,
doctors, and the like. However, in whatever alternate universe this
takes place in, the Foundation is much less ethical.
Less protection, more pain. Site 13 was meant to store humanoid entities,
but humanoids and humans were not treated the same.
Nope, if it was humanoid, it might as well be sub-human, and treated like garbage.
A doctor researching anomalous humanoids would dispose of bodies in an incinerator, somehow
turning them into weird toxic gel. This gel caused all sorts of problems, including
turning the still-living anomalies into viscous abominations.
Some of the anomalies that should have been disposed of by doctor’s orders were spared,
but then corrupted by the goop. The goop beasts then took over the site, and
pretty much made life hell for anyone present. Also at some point Site 13 contained God?
Like actual God? This is getting crazy.
On top of all these insane things going on, there was also a machine built on-site called
the Thresher. This highly volatile piece of technology was
capable of teleporting the whole site to other universes, but didn’t always work.
Because of this, Site 13 was full of anomalous topography, aka. Hallways ending where they
shouldn’t, walls moving around, the floor disappearing sometimes, etc.
The entry for 1730 includes a smorgasbord of exploration logs detailing the exploits
of all sorts of MTFs sent in to investigate and rescue.
A laundry list of lunacy is contained in these logs, with appearances by deadly leeches,
writing on the wall memetics, crystal butterflies, noclip sludge that makes legs invisible, the
gate guardian, SCP 1810, and as mentioned previously, literal Abrahamic God.
Tau-5 Samsara makes an appearance as well, which always makes for a fun read.
What really happened is sort of up for interpretation, but I’m happy to say that Site 13 is currently
not in our dimension. Although, it could make it back someday.
Let’s hope it doesn’t, and give our thanks to Captain Hollis.
Boom! That list caps off fifty SCP entries in our humble little series!
